Study objectives: To assess the prevalence of a
historical occupational component to asthma in an adult asthma clinic
and to compare characteristics of asthmatic subjects with and without
work-attributed symptoms.
Design: A retrospective
review of data obtained from a physician-administered questionnaire,
answers to which were obtained at the initial patient visit of
asthmatic subjects, and which included specific questions regarding the
relationship of work to symptoms. Chart review data were used to
supplement information on workplace exposures and investigations.
Setting: A university-based secondary- and
tertiary-referral asthma clinic.
Patients: Seven
hundred thirty-one adult asthmatic subjects who were referred for
assessment and management of asthma.
Statistical analyses of asthmatic subjects with and without
work-attributed symptoms and a determination, from chart review, of the
likelihood of causes for symptomatic worsening of asthma at work.
Measurements and results: Sixty percent of the patients
(435) had adult onset of asthma, among whom 310 patients (71%) were
employed at the time of their visit. Fifty-one patients reported their
asthma to be worse at work (ie, 16% of adult-onset
working asthmatic subjects). Sixteen of these patients (31%) had
likely or possible sensitizer-induced occupational asthma (OA), and
49% likely had aggravation of underlying asthma. The other 20% of
patients had possible OA or aggravation of underlying asthma at
Conclusions: Adult-onset asthmatic subjects
commonly report a worsening of asthma at work, more commonly on the
basis of likely aggravation of underlying asthma than on the basis of
likely or possible OA.
asthma (OA) is the most common nonacute occupational lung disease in
many industrial countries, as reported from the United
Kingdom,1parts of Canada (Ontario2and
Quebec3–), and parts of the United States (as reported to the Sensor
System4–). Reports from different countries using different
methods and different populations have estimated that OA accounts for
anywhere from 2 to 20% of all asthma cases. In 1979, a US expert
committee gave an estimate, not based on a formal study, that 2% of
asthma cases were due to OA.5A Japanese study in 1980
estimated that 15% of adult asthma cases were due to an occupation,
particularly silk production and Maiko manufacturing.6In
a US national disability survey in 1987, 15% of 468 patients with
asthma attributed their condition to workplace exposure.7–
Among 94 adult asthmatic subjects who were interviewed after a hospital
admission, there was historical support for probable OA among 3% of
subjects, and for probable or possible OA in 20% of
subjects.8In the United States, among a general practice
setting, Blanc and colleagues9concluded that > 1 in 10
adult asthmatic patients had a work history strongly suggestive of a
potential relationship between exposure and disease, while Milton et
al,10on reviewing health maintenance organization charts,
suggested that 20% of new-onset asthma cases were attributable to
occupational exposure. Data from nationwide registers of occupational
diseases and chronic diseases in Finland were analyzed and were
reported to show that 4.8% of cases of new-onset adult asthma were
OA.11In a Spanish population-based study, Kogevinas et
al12estimated that the risk of asthma attributable to
occupational exposures was 3 to 7%, and about 1 to 2% higher when
analyses were limited to cases of adult-onset asthma. Forastiere et
al,13in a community sample of older women in California,
found a significantly increased risk of asthma among health workers and
social workers (odds ratio, 2.4) and among artists, writers,
decorators, and photographers (odds ratio, 3.1). A recent
multinational, population-based study estimated that 0.2 to 0.5% of
young adults become asthmatic or have their asthma exacerbated because
of their occupations.14
Most previous studies estimating OA relative risks or
prevalence7–9,12–14 have relied on patient questionnaire
data that were collected during a cross-sectional survey, often many
years after the subject had left work and, so, potentially subject to
recall bias, especially among a disability
population.7 To our knowledge, there has been no
previous published study that has assessed the prevalence of OA from
prospectively gathered data from among a secondary-referral and
tertiary-referral asthma clinic population. The purposes of the present
study are the following: (1) to assess the prevalence of probable and
possible OA in a population of adult asthmatic subjects from the
population of a general adult asthma clinic in which information on
possible work associations had been routinely obtained in a uniform
manner at the time of their initial respiratory assessment; and (2) to
compare characteristics of these asthmatic subjects, with and without a
work-attributed component to their asthma.
The clinic population consisted of 900 referrals to The Gage
Research Institute Asthma Clinic (a secondary-referral and
tertiary-referral clinic) during a 19-year period (ie,
between 1972 and 1990). At the initial referral visit, a questionnaire
was completed by all patients that was suitable for computer
analysis. Questions included details of the nature and severity
of respiratory symptoms, requirements for emergency visits and hospital
admissions, triggering factors, details of the home environment, and
smoking history. A description of previous and current occupations
include the following categorization: (1) unskilled labor; (2) skilled
labor; (3) administrative; (4) managerial; and (5) professional. The
questionnaire also included the separate questions "Is asthma better,
worse, or unchanged: at work, on weekends, or on holidays off work?"
The computerized database also included information on medical history,
family history, systematic inquiry, physical examination
findings, and results of investigations, including allergy skin tests
and pulmonary function tests before and after bronchodilator use.
Among the total of 900 patients referred to the clinic with possible
asthma, we selected the 682 adults (ie, patients aged ≥ 17
years) in whom asthma was diagnosed in the clinic by a respirologist or
clinical immunologist on the basis of history, physical examination
findings, and spirometry testing, before and after bronchodilator use.
Among these patients, the subset having adult onset of asthma symptoms
(onset age, ≥ 17 years) who were employed at the onset of their
symptoms were identified and were subdivided into the following two
groups: those who had responded that their asthma was worse at work
compared with their condition on weekends or holidays; and those who
did not report a difference. These two groups were compared according
to their work exposures and characteristics such as gender, age of
onset of asthma, smoking history, and factors reflecting severity of
asthma, using t tests and χ2 tests
for statistical analyses. Severity was evaluated on the basis of the
extent of medication use, time lost from work, emergency department
visits, and hospital admissions due to asthma, as well as on the basis
of spirometry results.
For those who described adult-onset asthma while they were working and
worsening of asthma symptoms at work, a retrospective chart review then
was performed to identify any recorded further details of workplace
exposure and the results of any investigations that may have been
performed to specifically assess OA. Such specific assessment could
have consisted of serial peak flow monitoring at work and away from
work, skin testing with relevant workplace allergen(s), methacholine
challenge testing during a working period and following a period of
weeks off work, and specific occupational challenge testing. From this
information these subjects were classified as having a clinical
probability or possibility of OA, an aggravation of coincidental
asthma, or insufficient information to categorize. A categorization of
probable OA for this study was reached in those adult-onset asthmatic
subjects whose asthma began while working with potential exposure to
one or more respiratory sensitizers and with results from at least one
objective test that supported a work relationship (ie,
specific skin test response, peak expiratory flow rates, or
methacholine responsiveness worsening while working or a positive
specific challenge with a work sensitizer). A categorization of
possible OA was reached if the objective tests to assess a work
relationship had not been performed. Categorization to possible or
probable aggravation of asthma was made in patients who were exposed to
potential respiratory irritants at work without likely sensitizers.
Among the 682 adults who had received a clinical diagnosis of
asthma, the onset of asthma, according to their history, occurred
during adulthood in 435 (64%). Among the 435 patients, 310
(71%) were employed at the time of their initial asthma clinic visit.
Fifty-one patients reported at their initial visit that their asthma
was worse at work and was not worse on weekends or holidays off work
(ie, 16% of the adult-onset employed asthmatics, 12% of
all the adult-onset asthmatic subjects, and 7% of all the adult
asthmatics in the clinic). Among these 51 patients who reported
worsening at work, 60% reported improvement of their asthma at home,
and 65% reported improvement when on vacation.
A retrospective chart review of the 51 patients reporting worsened
asthma at work indicated probable sensitizer-induced OA in 8 patients,
based on history, exposure to a recognized respiratory sensitizer
(Table 1
), and at least one positive objective test supporting OA. The latter
included a positive result for a skin test to a relevant work
sensitizer in two patients (grain and flour), positive work-associated
changes in both serial peak expiratory flow rate recordings and
methacholine challenges in one patient, and positive results to
specific laboratory challenge tests to a work substance in five
patients. An additional eight patients had possible sensitizer-induced
OA, based on the recorded history and workplace exposure to recognized
respiratory sensitizers, but had not undergone specific objective
testing to clarify the diagnosis.
Twenty-five of the 51 asthmatic subjects (49%) whose asthma was worse
at work likely had work aggravation of underlying asthma, a
determination that was based on their recorded history of transient
worsening at work and workplace exposure to recognized respiratory
aggravating factors (including emotional stress in two patients), but
had no identified or likely workplace sensitizers (Table 1). An
additional 10 asthmatic subjects (20%) had possible OA or possible
aggravation of underlying asthma based on the recorded history, lack of
further objective tests for OA, and occupations at the onset of asthma
that could have included respiratory sensitizers and irritants. None of
the asthmatic subjects who reported their asthma to be worse at work
had a recorded history to suggest reactive airways dysfunction
Comparisons were made between the recorded features of the 51
asthmatic subjects who reported worsening at work and the 259 other
adult-onset working asthmatic subjects from the clinic. The mean age
for both groups was similar (46 years), as was their smoking history
(Table 2
), mean age at onset of asthma (40 and 39 years, respectively), and
family history of asthma (60% and 57%, respectively). Those subjects
reporting worsening of their asthma at work, however, were more likely
to be men (72% vs 54%, respectively; p < 0.05), to be laborers
(63% vs 46%, respectively; p < 0.05), and to report exposure to
fumes at work (63% vs 45%, respectively; p < 0.05). There was a
nonsignificant trend to features suggesting less severe asthma than
for the asthmatic subjects who did not report a worsening at
work: those subjects had had fewer days off work due to asthma, fewer
emergency department visits, and fewer mean hospital admissions for
asthma in the previous 2 years. They were less likely to describe
asthma symptoms with exercise (p < 0.05) (Table 2), and their mean
total serum IgE level showed a nonstatistical trend to be lower than
that for other asthmatics. Their FEV1 response to
a bronchodilator showed no significant difference.
Our findings of the reported prevalence of worsening asthma at
work of 7% among all adult asthmatic subjects (and 16% of all
adult-onset employed asthmatic subjects) in a secondary-referral and
tertiary-referral asthma clinic are very similar to those of previous
reports among other populations of adult asthmatic
subjects.8–14 The advantage of this study includes the
detailed, physician-administered questionnaire and the physiologic
documentation of all subjects at the time of their initial visit, which
included questions concerning a work relationship of their asthma,
among > 100 other questions, without emphasis being given during
administration of the questionnaire to any relationship of work to
asthma, since that was not a specific focus of the questionnaire at the
time of initial assessment.
However, as with most other reported prevalence studies, detailed
investigations to diagnose or exclude OA, such as peak expiratory flow
rate monitoring, paired methacholine challenges after a work week and
after a holiday, and specific laboratory occupational challenges as
currently recommended for the clinical diagnosis of
OA,15–16 were not performed in most patients. Only
a subset of those subjects describing a relationship of asthma to their
work (16%) received an objective diagnosis of OA. It has been shown
previously that a history supporting OA is highly sensitive but poorly
specific for the diagnosis,17 and it is likely that the
true prevalence of OA in this population was less than the 7% of all
adult asthmatic subjects in the clinic who reported a worsening of
asthma at work. Probable sensitizer-induced OA (eight patients) or
possible OA (eight other patients) was suggested from the exposure
history and from investigations in 2.3% of the adult asthmatic
subjects, while 3.7% had likely occupational aggravation of underlying
asthma and another 1.5% had possible occupational aggravation of
underlying asthma. Thus, aggravation of underlying asthma appeared to
be over twice as prevalent as OA.
Since this study assessed asthmatic subjects in a secondary-referral
and tertiary-referral clinic, it is likely that these patients
represent a more severe subgroup of asthmatic subjects. Such patients
would be expected to have more airway hyperresponsiveness than that of
patients with milder asthma and, therefore, would be expected to have
more noticeable symptomatic aggravation of asthma with workplace
exposure to respiratory irritants such as dusts, fumes, and sprays. In
addition, it is possible that their referral to the clinic may have
been due to suboptimal control of asthma symptoms. Therefore, the 7%
of adult asthma clinic patients who reported worsening of asthma at
work may be an overestimate of the prevalence of asthma worsening at
work among all asthmatic subjects.
Previous reported prevalence studies of work-related asthma have
generally not distinguished sensitizer-induced OA from work-related
aggravation of asthma, although Blanc et al,18in a
survey of 601 asthmatic subjects followed by a sample of pulmonologists
and allergists, reported the exposure to potential occupational
sensitizers to be about twice as common as respiratory irritants
without sensitizers. In the present study, it is possible that
workplace sensitizers may not have been identified in some cases on job
descriptions on the questionnaire and in the clinical histories
recorded. In a previous study19 of claims accepted by the
Ontario Workers' Compensation Board over a 4-year period, a similar
number of claims was accepted on the basis of OA and on the basis of
aggravation of underlying asthma. However, since patients with
aggravation of asthma at work may be less likely to change their work
exposure, they might be less likely to apply for compensation than
those with OA, and compensation data might underestimate the true
prevalence of the aggravation of underlying asthma.
It has been suggested that work-related aggravation of asthma should be
included in the term occupational asthma.20–
However, such symptoms in some patients may reflect undertreatment of
asthma and may be better included in a definition of work-related
asthma.21 Many of the agents that were considered to
have aggravated asthma in this population (such as emotional stress and
second-hand cigarette smoke) are not specific to the workplace and
might be expected to trigger symptoms in most asthmatic subjects,
especially if their treatment is suboptimal or their asthma is severe.
The asthmatic subjects in this population who described worsening of
asthma at work had a trend to features that suggest milder asthma than
those who noticed no worsening at work at the time of answering the
questionnaire. The information used in this study was all taken from
information obtained at the initial asthma clinic visit of these
patients. Questions pertaining to worsening of asthma at work were
asked in the present tense and would not have detected asthmatic
subjects who may have had OA previously or may have had an exacerbation
of asthma at work severe enough for them to have left work or changed
the workplace exposure. This also may have reduced our apparent
severity rates and apparent prevalence rates. Nevertheless, our
findings are consistent with a recent study from our center comparing
the morbidity of patients with accepted compensation claims for OA and
patients with non-OA.22 In that study, there were fewer
hospital admissions for asthma among those with OA as compared with
other asthmatic subjects attending asthma clinics.22
Our findings support an important role for workplace exposure both in
the causation of OA and in aggravating the symptoms of underlying
asthma, as reported by patients with asthma. This emphasizes the need
for taking a thorough occupational history in all adult asthmatic
subjects and for further investigations of those whose symptoms improve
on weekends or holidays off work.

If Nintendo wants the allocations to last another month, they are being miserly about it. Online buyers are being ignored.

CyberMonday should have the online sites like Amazon loaded with Wii's. That has not been the case so far.
As to the rip-0ff resell artists, I suggest you perform a rectal exam with your console. Walmart had one I could have bought. There were four good games, and four games for children. No one bought it for a long time.
No gamer wants children's animation, and parents don't want small children

Amazon andToysRus have bundles that make sense for different groups of gamers. I'm holding onto my money until somebody sells me something I actually want.

Some bloggers were able to take plants home with them because they'd driven. And some bloggers who'd flown to Seattle packed their suitcases full of dirt and botanical booty and crossed their fingers that the plants would survive. I was lucky; Jenny of Rock Rose and her husband were camping and my plants were treated to a scenic drive across the countryside in their airstream camper before making their way here with Jenny yesterday!
The display gardens meandered all around the large nursery and house, delighting us with secret pathways and unique garden art at every turn.
Panning the nursery tables, so many colorful plants invited us in to browse.
There were many beauties I would have loved to take home with me like these Dahlias.
The intricate pattern on this pottery caught my eye. Isn't it cool?
Plants and pots and trees... oh my!
There were many fabulous specimens through out the display gardens, like this poppy.
Intent on finding the next brilliant photo, bloggers Jenny of Rock Rose and Pam of Digging troll the eye candy.
So many majestic plants provided vertical interest in the garden.
I wish I knew the name of this luscious little blossom and its berry neighbor.
The Clematis in the PNW were all blooming their little heads of while we were there, thanks to a cool, wet spring. I was glad to see them before I had to return home to my brown, crispy ones.
What a selection of succulents! Now THIS table was really hard to pass up.
This quaint shed with its assortment of garden decor was inspiring. Now, garden "stuff" I could put in my suitcase!
The earlier rains of the day left the gardens dewy with droplets of rain.
This huge vase, tucked into a nook in the garden, makes for a fabulous focal point for visitors coming down the path.
Even exotic animals graced the display gardens.
The house hidden behind the display gardens is as whimsical and entertaining as the rest of the nursery.
After shopping and touring, we were all treated to the wonderful Punch Drunk in Love with the PNW happy hour. Our hosts, Proven Winners, put out a spread of food, blackberry punch cocktails and gave away their new Blackberry Punch Calibrachoa, which has been voted one of Sunset Magazine's "25 Hot Plants to Grow Now."
It was great to see the sun come out after our rainy morning at the Bloedel Reserve, and to relax with our hosts and blogging friends one last time before venturing back on the ferry and back to reality on Tuesday.

A post-industrial version of the street vendor, the mall kiosk guy stands ready to sell you what you need. Or what you forgot you need. A watch. A University of Alabama hat. Or, in Bobby Shamshad's case, perfume.
An Alabamian by way of India, Pakistan and New York City, Shamshad owns and operates the Perfume Point kiosk at Colonial Brookwood Village mall. He also has a cell phone kiosk at Western Hills Mall, is preparing to open another at University Mall in Tuscaloosa and has a regular spot at the Bessemer Flea Market.
Over the lunch hour one day this week Shamshad paused long enough to talk business.
Q. Why a kiosk?
The kiosk is better because you get more traffic. If you have a kiosk and people have no interest, you can still get sales. It's all about traffic. And, of course, you have lower overhead. If you have (a traditional store) you have to pay for electricity, utilities, all of that. In kiosk, you have none of that.
Q. Why perfume?
Perfume is in my blood. My father made his own in small batches and sold it all over. I'm very good in hard-to-find fragrances. In Mountain Brook, we get a lot of ladies who like older perfumes, so I carry a lot of older fragrances.
Q. Is there a good and bad kiosk location in a mall?
Around the food court is the best location. If I'm by Macy's, Macy's has perfume too, and we'd be competing. And they may not want me right there. So this (next to the food court) is better.
Q. How did you come to be in the States, and in Alabama?
We manufactured T-shirts for export to the United States, and industrial cotton gloves. It was a family business. I was in New York on a business trip, and just liked it. I've always been self-employed since I came to this country. I came to Alabama because my wife's parents are from Alabama, and she doesn't like the big city. I liked New York, but it was too much competition. I like it here very much. The house I have here, I could never afford in New York.
Q. How do you decide which mall-walkers to approach to try to make a sale?
I don't do that much. I might say 'how are you today?' But I don't really hawk. I know my customers. Probably 90 percent of my business is from return customers.

POINT MARION, Pa. — Officials say a southwestern Pennsylvania toddler is dead after a dirt bike he was riding on crashed into another vehicle over the weekend.
The Fayette County coroner's office says 2-year-old Ryan Metz was wearing no protective equipment at the time of the crash Friday night in Point Marion. Ryan was riding on the lap of a 17-year-old when the dirt bike crashed into the side of a sport utility vehicle.
The dirt bike's driver was treated for head injuries. Police say he'd failed to stop at an intersection immediately before the crash.
Ryan would have turned 3 on Tuesday.

The Restored Charles W. Morgan to Be Officially Re-Launched in July
According to fictional anchorman Ron Burgundy, a very old wooden ship is called diversity—but at Mystic Seaport, the only remaining wooden whaleship in the world is being restored; and its name is the Charles W. Morgan.
The Morgan is currently undergoing extensive restorations in preparation for her 38th voyage that will launch on July 21, 2013. The ship will be stopping in New London, Newport, New Bedford, Martha's Vineyard, Provincetown and finally, Boston to join the USS Constitution before returning home to Mystic Seaport. Each port will be hosting a series of educational programs and events unique to that city's maritime heritage while also exhibiting the Morgan.
The oldest surviving American commercial vessel was built over a nine-month period in 1841 in New Bedford, Mass. Throughout its successful whaling career, the Charles W. Morgan made 37 voyages under the command of 20 different captains to 59 ports of call from the South Pacific to the West Indies. It braved ocean storms, Arctic ice, and even a cannibal attack to provide the eastern seaboard of the United States with lubricating oil for industrial machines, illuminating oil for lighthouses, and whale bone, which was known as the "plastic" of the era (because of its versatility and use in many products). These adventures are captured in the Morgan's logs, detailing the incredible—a rescue of Russian prisoners who escaped a forced labor camp—to the tragic: Captain Thomas C. Lander's loss of his 16-year-old son overboard.
The National Historic Landmark was named after Charles Waln Morgan, an investor and entrepreneur who at one point managed 15 vessels and had shares in 18 others. While away on business in 1841, his nephew named the new whaleship after his uncle who would pass away 20 years later. As a whaleship, the Morgan's function was to hunt sperm, right and bowhead whales by harpooning the animal then killing it with a lance or heavy firearm after it tired. The carcass was then processed aboard the ship, where the desirable parts were harvested and stored before being sold. On its maiden voyage of 3 years, 3 months, and 27 days, it killed 59 whales before returning to port.
After 80 years, the Charles W. Morgan retired in 1921 to South Dartmouth, Mass., until 1941 when it was moved to Mystic Seaport. Since then, more than 20 million visitors from across the country and the world have walked its decks, boosting Connecticut's tourism industry and educating the public about its proud history.

Album: Awake and Empty
chances are, it's on the west coast. chances are, it gets you home. so let's find a reason you're a wreck when you're alone…
it's those warm pacific nights in your favorite summer dress. swimming without words through grace and gestures of regret, like the fox under the hunters gun.
you were the death i couldn't look away from for twenty something years. what did you do? well, words can't describe the way your fingers wrapped around his sad, little throat. what did you say? only you'd come back soon, just another of your lies that made me want you more. don't fuck this up.
so let's find a reason you're a wreck when you're alone. forgot, too young, white lined, black lungs, living for nothing.
first make me understand, i think i'm starting to believe. first make me understand, i think i'm feeling gravity but calling it your voice, mistook identity and chance and called it grace. so make me understand, i think i'm losing hope tonight. so maybe without words it seeped into your bedroom walls, went through your lying teeth with whiskey down your throat. and you know how you are, always the grace of god when you know that i don't and that i gave that up.

This is especially important if you are starting out with not much earnings but still need to keep believing in your blog and put in a lot of effort.

The No.17 Massachusetts field hockey team's regular season schedule is set for 2009. The Minutewomen defeated then No.18 Albany and came back from a four-goal halftime deficit to lose to No.2 Syracuse to earn its ranking. Now, it's up to UMass coach Justine Sowry and the Minutewomen to play a schedule that befits a ranked team.
UMass' first game will be at home at Garber Field, the team that broke up the Minutewomen's season-high seven-game winning streak.
Although, the Friars finished the season unranked, the Friars defeated three ranked teams in 2008, including: UMass, then No.13 Boston College and then No.16 Rutgers. BC fell to No.15 by season's end and Rutgers fell out of the rankings entirely.
The Minutewomen will then hold the UMass Invitational, when they will play Boston University and Iowa. The first of five opponents on the Minutewomen's schedule, Iowa finished the 2008 season ranked No.6 in the nation in the STX/NFHCA Polls.
The Hawkeyes made it to the Final Four, losing to eventual champion Maryland. Iowa also beat pre-season No.1 North Carolina in the second game of the season. The Hawkeyes were 8-2 last season against ranked opponents in the regular season.
Syracuse will be the other team from the Final Four that UMass will face. The Orange were 10-1 at the Carrier Dome and 8-0 when hosting non-conference teams.
James Madison is another noteworthy opponent for the Minutewomen. The Dukes finished last season with a record of 18-2, including wins over No.8 Virginia, who knocked JMU out of the NCAA Tournament in the first round.
The Dukes also had back-to-back wins against No.4 William & Mary and No.3 Old Dominion to close out the regular season.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Jimmy Haslam and Joe Banner might have inherited the No. 1 ingredient for NFL success: a franchise quarterback.
Despite Brandon Weeden's 1-6 record and horrible Game 1 debut, he's come on strong the past few games and is starting to display the makings of an elite NFL quarterback. Over the past two games, he's thrown for 495 yards with four touchdowns and one interception for a 94.6 rating. If Josh Gordon hadn't dropped the ball last week in Indy, it'd be five TDs and one pick in the last two games.
Take away Weeden's disastrous opener against the Eagles and he climbs from 32nd in the NFL with a 72.3 rating to 21st with a 83.4 -- with nine TDs and six interceptions. Last week, he held his own against No. 1 overall pick Andrew Luck.
Several things have contributed to Weeden's development, including experience and great pass protection.
"I'm playing a little bit faster because I'm not having to think quite as much about what we're doing," he said. "That's the main thing. Early in the year, I'm still thinking, 'ok, my x receiver is doing this, the back's here.' I was thinking about all the Xs and Os and what we were doing. You add that on top of how good and how fast those guys are on the other side of the ball, that's a lot going on in your mind."
What's more, he's not wilting under pressure.
"At this level, guys are going to come free and you're going to take a hit," he said. "It's all about guts, standing there and making a throw. The next day it hurts, but who cares? It feels good when you complete a ball."
It'll also feel good for new owner Haslam and incoming CEO Banner if they don't have to find the biggest piece to the Browns puzzle.

Following his victory over Lyoto Machida at UFC 175 on Saturday night, Chris Weidman may already have a new opponent to set his sights on.
UFC president Dana White spoke after the show about Weidman's next potential challenge. "I think what's next and what everybody would like to see - what I'd like to see and what you'd like to see - is probably Vitor Belfort."
White continued, speaking about the issues Belfort needs to deal with after the banning of TRT in Nevada, "So, let's see what happens with Vitor. If this guy can get his business handled."
Belfort, always one to speak up after big fights in his division, took to Instagram to express his desire to challenge for the title next.
"Now I want what I deserve," Belfort wrote on Saturday night after the Weidman-Machida fight. "MY TITIE SHOT!!! Don't run away!! No excuses!!"

QP gets ready to float its sukuk
Private Sector Qatar Team | Aug 29, 2012 | Comments 0
Qatar Petroleum Finance Director Abdulrahman al-Shaibi says the sukuk issuance will be facilitated and backed by abundant assets the oil company have.
With Qatar setting new benchmarks for the Shariah-principled debt, its oil and gas flagship Qatar Petroleum (QP) is fast readying up to float its sukuk, it is learnt.
"Following the considerable success of the new sovereign sukuk, the country's national oil and gas flagship QP is also expected to place its first sukuk bond sometime in the second half of 2012," Commerzbank, Chief Analyst Apostolos Bantis said.
In early July 2012, Qatar returned to the international sukuk market and successfully priced a USD 4 billion dual-tranche, making it the largest ever international Shariah-principled debt raising and created a new benchmark in terms of size and pricing, according to him.
The new Qatari sukuk received very strong demand with the final order book reaching close to USD 25 billion and good geographic diversification in the final allocation and the five-year sukuk tranche was priced to yield 2.1% and the 10-year at 3.24%, setting record low rates for Qatari sovereign bonds, Commerzbank said in a report.
It was also the lowest-fixed coupon rate paid by any GCC (Gulf Co-operation Council) issuer to date in the dollar bond market, he said, adding more importantly the new sukuk was priced inside Qatar's existing curve, with the new five-year tranche issued at a 15 basis points discount and the 10-year tranche at a 10 basis points discount over Qatar's similar-maturity conventional eurobonds, the analyst said.
However, it could not be ascertained to what extend the QP would go in for sukuk.Earlier in a report in Euromoney magazine, Qatar Petroleum Finance Director Abdulrahman al-Shaibi said sukuk was an important avenue for it to tap as it saw increasing liquidity in the Islamic finance market. He had said the sukuk issuance would be facilitated and backed by abundant assets the oil company have.
Sukuk, which is still a very small and relatively young market in the context of global fixed income, has shown strong growth dynamics, Commerzbank said.
Islamic bond issuance surged by an average annual rate of 40% over the past few years and is expected to comfortably surpass the USD 100 billion benchmark in 2012, it added.
"We see this strong growth continuing over the medium term, fuelled by ample liquidity in the GCC and Asian regions along with a rising trend of sovereign and government-related issuers tapping the sukuk market," it said.
The large pool of funds raised by various governments to absorb excess liquidity, along with the broadening of the sukuk market into new jurisdictions, has played a key part in the recent surge of sukuk issuance, according to Bantis.
The Middle East and North Africa region, and more specifically the GCC, is making a strong comeback as a major sukuk issuer, after a notable slowdown in 2009 in the aftermath of the Dubai debt crisis.
The GCC has been a key market with total sukuk volumes growing by 6.1% to USD 14 billion in the first half of 2012, Commerzbank said, adding Saudi Arabia, in particular, reported the highest growth with close to USD 9 billion of new issues outpacing the UAE which has historically been the largest Sukuk issuer in the Gulf region.
Qatar global GDP share
Economic diversification aided by hydrocarbon revenue will scale up Qatar's share of global GDP at market exchange rates to 0.4% in 2030, almost double the 2010 level, says Economist Intelligence Unit in a country report.

Come Heller high water...
• Is it possible, really possible, that the UAW and GM have worked out a win-win contract here? If so, is this a first?
• Some are saying so. But I tend to think that, as with baseball trades, you don't get a clear view of this kind of deal for years. Here's hopin', though.
• We're officially in that "grain of salt" time of year. Anything that comes out of the mouth of a city official until election day, you have to take with a grain or two of Na (that's sodium, in case you forget your chemistry).
Case in point: Flint's Kinda Sorta Permanently Interim Police Chief Gary Hagler attributing much of the recent drop in the murder rate to the opening of the city jail. Hagler says the jail temporarily removes people from situations that might otherwise turn into murder. I doubt that. I'll betcha a buck that most murders in Flint are gang and drug related and aren't acts of passion at all. The jail doesn't hurt, of course, but as Prosecutor David Leyton told me this week, a not insignificant part of the drop in the murder rate can be attributed to the fact that "a lot of bad players in Flint are either in prison or dead."
• My new favorite commercial to hate is the Taco Bell one where they stretch the cheese. Yuck.
• Eating in commercials in general bugs me, especially when the actor pretends that this scrubby little portion of fast food is some gigantically-proportioned feast. Please.
• Great dumb moment on "Kid Nation" this week. The kids on the show were going to kill a chicken to eat, so the network felt the need to warn parents that the show was possibly too intense for children to watch. Think about that for a minute. ... WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS ON THE SHOW!?
• I love Jim Leyland, but I think he's partly to blame for the Detroit Tigers missing the playoffs. He played scrubs and minor leaguers way too often, and it cost them.

Lipstick Prevention
According to a radio report, a middle school in Oregon was faced with a unique problem. A number of girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.
Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the custodian. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every day. To demonstrate how difficult it was to clean the mirrors, she asked the custodian to clean one of the mirrors.
He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it into the toilet and then cleaned the mirror.
Since then there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
4-Great humor

SNOWSTRUCK: Tow trucks and road patrol officers were up to their elbows in car accidents through Bay County on Monday, as the first real taste of winter weather apparently caught many motorists off guard.
The Michigan Sheriff's Association offers tips to drivers to avoid winter mishaps and to get snowbound cars unstuck.
Terrence L. Jungel, executive director of the organization, urges drivers to pack an emergency kit in their trunks that includes warm clothes, a flashlight, jumper cables, a tow rope, a shovel and bag of sand of cat litter to provide traction.
To avoid sliding off the road, drivers should reduce speeds, allow for more room between vehicles and brake gently to avoid skids.
If your car does wind up stuck in the snow, avoid spinning your wheels, which will only dig you in deeper. Use a shovel to dig out around the wheels and undercarriage, turn the steering wheel from side to side to clear snow away from the front tires, then gently east the vehicle out of the rut. If that doesn't work, try rocking it by shifting between forward and reverse.
BURGLAR NABBED: Bay City Police captured a suspected burglar this morning after allegedly catching him in the act.
Officers were dispatched to a breaking and entering in progress in the 3700 block of East Wilder Road, and once they showed up, a suspect ran away. Officers chased and caught the man, a 25-year-old, and lodged him in the Bay County Jail pending arraignment.
City police were assisted by deputies from the Bay County Sheriff's Office.

Sculpture Builds Fellowship
Victor and Sono Elmaleh Fellowship Fund in the School of Architecture
Kim Tanzer had only been dean of the School of Architecture for a few months in 2009 when something rather unusual happened—she learned of storage units, leased by the school, that contained a sculpture by renowned artist and sculptor Harry Bertoia.
Giving with No End in Sight
Paul Goodloe McIntire Endowments
If you've been on the Grounds of the University of Virginia or just about anywhere in Charlottesville, you will recognize the name McIntire.
Paul Goodloe McIntire, Charlottesville native and twentieth-century benefactor, made numerous gifts to UVA—meaningful and wide-ranging gifts to support the arts, sciences, commerce, and cancer research. Nearly a century later, his extraordinary generosity continues to benefit the University.
A Parade of Gifts
Hunter and Carl Smith Endowments
Give it about a decade, they told her, and UVA will have one of the top marching bands in the country.
Their prediction proved exact. And back in 2003, when Elizabeth Hudson, then chair of the Department of Music, consulted her counterparts around the region about the University's potential to field a first-class band and heard their advice, she was prepared to be patient.
A Visible Impact
The Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation
Exquisite treasures carefully arranged on miniature stages. Collages of enigmatic tokens and symbols behind curtains of glass. Joseph Cornell is known for his meticulously composed assemblage and collage art, and his influence can be seen in the work of other twentieth-century American artists, including Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol.
Major Artist, Major Inspiration
Ruffin Distinguished Artist-in-Residence
Mark Dion, an award-winning conceptual artist whose installations are commissioned worldwide, is the Ruffin Distinguished Artist-in-Residence for 2015–16. His installations and museum interventions have imitated natural history displays, cabinets of curiosities, and archaeological digs. Dion's work explores ways dominant ideologies and public institutions influence our understanding of history, knowledge, and the natural world.
Faulkner's Footsteps
Kapnick Foundation Distinguished Writer-in-Residence
Almost sixty years ago, students cutting across the Lawn would routinely encounter a dapper, gray-haired man absentmindedly filling his pipe on the way to his office in Alderman Library. It was William Faulkner, who came to UVA as writer-in-residence during the spring semesters of 1957 and 1958.
A New Direction for Drama
Caplin Guest Artist Endowment
Thanks to the Caplin Guest Artist Endowment, the Department of Drama has been able to attract directors of the caliber of Sandy Shinner, known for premiering new works at Chicago's Tony Award-winning Victory Gardens Theater, and John Vreeke, a Helen Hayes Award winner for his productions in Washington, D.C.
No Empty Seats
Ambassador Henry J. Taylor and Mrs. Marion R. Taylor Professor of Media Studies
Bruce Williams has experienced the impact and allure of endowed professorship from both sides.
As a department chairman at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Williams struggled to retain good faculty when there were few endowed chairs to go around. And while a professor of media studies at the University of Virginia, he was courted by a major university with a handsome offer including a stunning Midtown Manhattan office. But being named the first Ambassador Henry J. Taylor and Mrs. Marion R. Taylor Professor of Media Studies kept him at UVA.

The Subaru-Gary Fisher Mountain Bike Team has decided to go for "29 all the time" this year, after enjoying remarkable results with a string of victories and podium finishes on the big wheels.
Last year, the team started weaning their riders to go from the 26-inch wheels and move up to the 29-inchers, but it was not a smooth start. Most of the complaints were from their women riders who felt uncomfortable with the steering and overall quality of the bike.
However, it turned out that the big wheels were not the problem, but the frames. "It took me until early season 2009 to realize that my troubles were due to the [small] frame size rather than due to the wheel size," says Heather Irmiger. She adds that once she started using a bigger frame, the problems got solved and she was "blown away by the quality of the ride."
The results were similarly striking, as well. Heather Irmiger started using the 29-inch wheels for the last three events of 2009, and finished on the podium each time. This included her becoming the overall National Short Track Series champion and winning the Singlespeed Worlds; all on a 29-inch bike. She started loving the big wheels after that, so much so that when she was offered the option of using 26-inch wheels for her race quiver in 2010, she refused.
Willow Koerber also enjoyed a string of successes with the 29-inchers. She got 2nd place at the Mount Snow Pro XCT, won the gold at the Pro XCT in Windham Mountain, and got the bronze in Australia at the MTB World Championships.
The men on the Subaru-Gary Fisher team had no problems with the 29-inchers. Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski rode a Superfly bike on his way to winning the national cross-country and marathon championships, plus becoming the first winner of the debuting Pro XCT event. Sam Schultz also had his mind made up for him and is now a 29er as well.
Travis Ott, brand manager of Gary Fisher, says that seeing the team get used to the big wheels was "gratifying". He's now looking forward to the possibility of seeing their women riders strengthening the case for using 29-inch wheels at the World Cup level. The potential of seeing Willow Koerber winning the championship on 29-inch wheels, for example, "would completely disarm all the 29er skeptics."

Disorderly conduct, Sprague Road: Two officers responded to a call about three men fighting in a house at 12:28 a.m. March 9. A third officer joined them. They found a man on the basement steps holding a knife. He was told several times to put it down and finally did so. Then he stood on the steps smacking his head and saying, "Shoot me. Shoot me in the head." They went to the living room to talk and officers observed that the man was highly intoxicated. Two other men and a woman were in the kitchen. The woman called police and said the man "flipped out," was acting crazy and was trying to fight everyone in the house. Officers said the suspect was acting threatening and they warned him he would be arrested. He continued to resist, so one officer used his Taser. All three officers had to use their Tasers in order to get him under control and into a cruiser. He was taken to the police station and passed out soon after being placed in a jail cell for observation. The man also was wanted on a warrant from Avon police. The woman who called police refused to cooperate or complete any paperwork.
Theft, Fournier Street: A man reported at 7:37 p.m. March 10 that property was stolen between 1 and 8 a.m. from an unlocked car that was parked in his driveway. Stolen items included seven CDs, an iPad, its case and charger, two $100 gift cards and a gold wedding ring.
Identity theft, Wyleswood Drive: At 8:26 p.m. March 10 a woman told police that she was notified of suspicious activity on an account that was opened using her name. She said she was notified by an electronic billing system that a line of credit was opened under her name and Social Security number. The firm temporarily restricted the account to prevent future transactions and began an investigation. She was advised to file a police report, notify the three major credit bureaus and to continue monitoring her credit. The billing company will follow up with her in writing.
Theft, Sprague Road: A woman came to the police station at 10:22 p.m. March 7 to report the theft of items from her home. She allowed a male friend to stay with her for a few weeks. She was away on March 1 and when she returned, the visitor was gone and so were a PlayStation 3 with two controllers, a $50 gas card, $45 in cash and $950 in rent money was missing from a cabinet. She contacted the man, who told her that a woman friend of his traded the PlayStation in at a game store in Strongsville. He denied taking any money. She changed the locks. Officers were trying to contact the man.
Identity theft, East Grand Street: A Baldwin Wallace University student came to the police station at 10:30 a.m. March 5 to report that he was the victim of identity theft. He used a tax preparation service to file his income tax and learned that a refund already had been issued under his Social Security number. He said his driver's license was lost last summer. Police talked with the tax preparer who said the person who filed the fraudulent return needed the victim's Social Security number and date of birth. She said the IRS would not provide her with any additional information, citing privacy laws.
Impaired driving, Lindberg Boulevard: At 4:15 a.m. March 8, an officer saw a car weaving near Baker Street. The driver moved abruptly to the right, then left and finally turned onto Lindberg. The officer used his radar to verify the speed as 45 mph in a 25 mph zone. He stopped the driver, a North Ridgeville man, who said he was on his way home from work. The officer detected a strong odor of alcohol and administered several sobriety tests, which the man failed. While checking the car for contraband, the officer found a multi-colored, glass marijuana pipe in the center console and a small plastic bag with marijuana residue stuffed in the driver's side door compartment. He was taken to the police station and refused to take a breath test. The man was cited for speed and weaving and a complaint was signed for drug paraphernalia.
Criminal mischief, Front Street: a business owner reported at 11:45 a.m. March 8 that vandals spray-painted graffiti on the side of his building. Officers took a photo to document the vandalism.
Fictitious plates, Waverly Street: An officer stopped a man at 9:48 a.m. March 8 for fictitious/improper plates. The man said he bought the car, but never registered it. He also was cited for not displaying a front license plate and the car was towed.

Truro Centurions head coach Miranda Bates talks with her athletes during practice Thursday at RECC. Bates was recently named Swim Nova Scotia's development coach of the year for her work with the Centurions program in the 2013-14 season.
All Miranda (Elliott) Bates wanted to do when she took over the head coaching duties of the Truro Centurions was to give back.
She has done that in spades and now she's being recognized for it.
The Acadia graduate was recently named Swim Nova Scotia's development coach of the year for her work with the Centurions program in the 2013-14 season.
"It's pretty awesome," Bates said. "It's nice to get recognized and I'm just humbled and surprised."
Her athletes, however, aren't in the least. They love having Bates lead them through training and urge them on during competitions.
"She cares a lot about us and she is really motivating," Anna Payson said.
Her teammate Laura Brown agreed.
"She's a really good coach and she's really nice."
Bates, and the six other winners of Swim Nova Scotia awards, will be formally presented with the honour next month at the Ken Dunn Memorial long course meet in Halifax.
Bates was nominated for the award and coaches from across the province voted on the winner.
Growing up in Wolfville and Truro, Bates swam for the Centurions club for 10 years. After finishing her competition days and leaving town for several years, she connected back with the organization upon her return to the Hubtown.
"I wanted to give back to something that gave so much to me as a child," she said. "I got to travel and meet people and it opened a whole world for me and I wanted to continue offering that to the community."
So she joined the staff as an assistant coach under Chris Roberts. When Roberts moved away four years ago, Bates stepped up to take on the head coach role. At the time, the Centurions were struggling to attract members and were operating out of Centennial Pool, which was unable to host any meets.
Bates oversaw the team's move to the Rath EastLink Community Centre, where the Centurions hosted the junior provincial championships in February. Enrollment has also increased and finishing results for the athletes have been on the rise. Bates is reluctant to take credit.
"It's nice the club is getting recognized for all the hard work it's putting in," she said. "The coaching staff, the executive, the parents and the athletes have all put in a lot of work and it looks like we're doing something right."
Bates doesn't coach for accolades: she does it simply to help her swimmers grow and develop.
"A lot of kids who don't find their niche in other sports come here and they flourish," Bates said. "It's great to see them gain confidence and grow within something they like and enjoy."

Mayor Mike Summers said planning officials reviewed the proposals last week and will determine which candidates met the proposal guidelines and will be invited to interview for the project.
Council members authorized Summers in May to spend $25,000 on a design firm for the project, which aims to allocate the remaining $300,000 in federal grant money on improvements to the park.
Firms showing interest in the project included McKnight Associates Ltd., Larson Architects, Environmental Design Group, City Architecture, Behnke Associates Inc., and Brandstetter Carroll Inc.
Planning officials asked designers to include several elements in their drawings, including a performance venue or community pavilion, hillside grading to accommodate additional recreation and seating, focal points on the west end for viewing sunsets, and energy-efficient pedestrian lighting.
Summers said in May that capturing those dazzling sunsets at Lakewood Park is a big part of the plan, particularly for residents who go there in the summer especially to see them.
"It's as good a view of the sunset as there is on Lake Erie," he said. "The question is, how can we sort of institutionalize that as a way to more comfortably gather and hang out and enjoy a great summer evening, including the sunset?"
Officials have $300,000 in bonds that are earmarked for waterfront improvements remaining from funding 10 years ago. The money cannot be used in any other city park, or for any purpose besides capital investment in the waterfront.
Council members adopted the Lakewood Park System Plan in 2010 to outline a strategy of "continuous and coordinated improvement" for the city's parks and green spaces.
The plan originally included the intention to construct a fishing pier, but difficulties in acquiring land adjacent to the park made officials change course.

text: The emissivity of the target is important in IR temperature measurement. If this is not known or changes during the measurement, a measurement error is likely to occur. The emissivity of the target does not affect the measurement performance of the new thermoMETER CTratio. The sensor measures the temperature using two short wavelengths close to each other and obtains the quotient from this. The influence of the emissivity is therefore suppressed. Error-free measurement is also possible even when the IR radiation is weakened by 95% due to smoke or steam. The sensor provides a measuring range of 700°C to 1800°C at a maximum ambient temperature of 250°C without cooling. For small targets at a variable distance, the distance of the focal point can be modified by simply adjusting the lens. The completely passive sensor is connected to the electronics using an optical fiber. Therefore, electromagnetic fields have no influence on the sensor. If required, the thermoMETER CTratio can also measure using only one wavelength. The comprehensive interfaces (current, voltage output, optional: USB, RS232, RS 485, CAN, Profibus, Ethernet) enable fast integration in many different process environments.

Anybody stupid enough to vote for Romney deserve what they get…
The trouble is, if he becomes president, everybody else gets it as well, including those who voted for Obama.
also anybody stupid enought not to vote is equally deserving
Romney is the insincere and untrustworthy candidate to seek the US Presidency since Richard Nixon. The man is shameless and would be more than willing to implement the far right agenda of the Republican Party. He's even been scorned by conservatives abroad.
In a close election, the gay vote could indeed prove crucial in re-electing the most LGBT friendly US President in history..and delivering a much deserved defeat to Romney and his fellow GOP extremists.
close elections are won by securing undecided voters in key states, gay vote is rarely undecided, even gay republicans will most likely vote for their party, since gay equality issues are secondary to them so i dont think gay vote will make any difference
I wonder does he like the taste of pillow, I would so do him.
I'd like to witness that!
Why are all assh#%&* so hot? Perry, Santoram, and Romney..douchebags but super sexy. What's up with that?
Nah, did you ever see Santorum from the rear? he has a gigantic arse, he's so not sexy, whereas both Rick Perry's and Romney's favourite "Just For Men" targets only the greys for that "natural" look.
In America the "super sexy" you refer to, the ones who look as if they've just stepped out of television drama, get voted into political office by those moronic Americans who fancy the idea of having TV and film characters run the country. Crazy.
This ad is a total waste of $$$. If that the best the HRC can deliver we are in trouble.
Excellent video! It's great to see creative committed people taking action and making bold and assertive videos like this, calling a spade a spade and totally rejecting the nonsense of homophobes.
A lot of Americans are about to vote for Mitt Romney because he is the very image of a "good" "clean" white family man, not to mention that he is cast very much in the mould of the typical "dad" of so many American family dramas of the past three decades.
I don't like the look of him, he is evil, he always looks aggresive, Obama seems calm. Politicians should not be aggresive, Romeny is always attacking people rather than talking about issues
I nominate Stonewall and it;s supporters as bigotted deviants of the year. The theocraphobia* on display here is breathtking and is sheer bigotry.
I also notice much bigotry and hatred on here toward the s,cat* community, a harmless commmunity who's loving consensual 'expressions' hurt nbody yet they have been labelled as digusting on here by the very people that say " what happens in the bedroom of consenting adults is nobody's business".
Sheer hypocrisy from the deviants* who's filthy practices kill even innocent babies!
Your God kills entire populations and cultures. Good luck with the self-righteous sanctimony
The very poor quality of your writing goes hand in hand with your undeveloped reasoning skills.
Check out afer.org marriage new watch slam people like O'Brien
You confirm here that you are a bigoted th,eocraphobe, as per my accusation.
Also, do you believe it is bigoted to be disgusted by certain practices such as s/ca/t or is it acceptable?l
Theocraphobia? What is that, fear or bigotry towards a theocracy? If so, why would anyone consider theocraphobia to be a bad thing? The Vatican and Iran are hardly models for an ideal society are they?
Many that do not follow a religion believe in 'GOD rule'. those that maifest an irrational fear and bigoty toward such persons are theocraphobes. There are many on this site.
I not your impliction that theocraphobia is not necessarily a bad thing. Putting aside that 'bad' is a subjective term and one persona bad is another's good homophobia is not necessarily a bad thing then is it? It is certainly not a against the law to have 'homophobic' views.
What the homosxual brigade don't and never will get is that an aversion to deviant practices is not a phobia (mental disorder). Most people are disgusted by sca't and consensual male adult incest. Does that make them phobic's also?
you confuse sexuality with sexual practices and homophobia with morality.
Kane, you're confusing a troll with somebody you can reason with. Save your typing fingers the wear and tear.
I think what is more worrying that the massiaheige issue is giving the right to emplyers to fire gay people at will. Someone's sexuality does not impact on their work and should not be grounds for dismial in any case, their acctions and competency should be the only determining factors.
I disagree. I think any job that involvs working with children should not be open to homosexuals. Of all the paedophile abuse in the church, the majority is of a homosexual nature!.
how ironic that of all the 'paedophile' abuse in the world, the majority is of a heterosexual nature, so according to your brrrrrilliant logic heterosexuals should not work with children. is there any limit to your stupidity?
Do stop engaging with the delusional troll there's a good person it is a total waste of energy and does nothing worthwhile. Thanks.
Paedophile abuse is disproportionate amongst homosexuals. It is sad that the homosexuals do not understand the word disproportionate. It means that if you take 1000 homosexuals and 1000 heterosexuals, there will be more offenders in the homo' group than the hetero.
Actually, you're wrong. The proportion of gay pedophiles as opposed to straight pedophiles is unknown no matter how you look at the so-called evidence (read James M. Cantor PhD: 'Male Homosexuality, Science and Peophilia'). Also, evidence suggests that pedophiles do not diffferentiate between male and female victims to anywhere near the same degree that normal gay and straight people gender-differentiate between their love interests so consequently scientists and law enforcers often have to attribute a power play motive to many pedopile attacks. However, what is crystal clear from the statistics is that the vast majority of assaulted children are assaulted by a member of their own family and this usually takes place in the family home. Facts are not known with any certainty but there is a possibility, based on hospital figures, that slightly fewer gays attack children than one would expect from the proportion of gays present in society – but even that is not statistically sound.
That's due to opportunity not due to the sexual orientation of the victimizer or the victim. The vast majority men who abuse boys are not sexually attracted to adult men and are usually heterosexually oriented and married to women.
I'm sorry if the FACTS don't fit into your homophobic fantasy world paradigm.
Nice that you are excusing disproportionate homo child abuse with speculative unsubstantiated poppycock or do you have proof of the nonsense you spout?
See my reply to you above.
Yes, there is proof. In a recent literature review, Dr. Nathaniel McConaghy (McConaghy, N. "Paedophilia: A review of the evidence. Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry", 32(2), pp. 252-265) cautioned against confusing homosexuality with paedophilia. He noted, "The man who offends against prepubertal or immediately postpubertal boys is typically not sexually interested in older men or in women" (p. 259).
Please try to get a handle on the realities of human sexuality and sexual behaviour and stop spouting the arrant nonsense of your ill-informed and under-read prejudice as if it were fact. I know that good science and its methodology can be challenging for the hard-of-thinking such as you, but careful study will repay you many times over and liberate you from your irrational fears, hatreds and prejudices.
You idiot. If they abuse boys then that is homosexual abuse. If they also like women, they are bisexual.
Would that it were so simple, but the science, I'm afraid, doesn't support your contention. However, I doubt that you will let the facts stand in the way of your prejudices and your childishly simplistic views on sexuality.
These comments are why I don't post so often. Pink News you should be ashamed of yourselves for such hateful comments to stay on these boards. You get money from advertising and invest nothing on this site. BEn Cohen you should be ashamed youre on C4 News and yet you allow these abusive comments on your site. It shows a complete lack of integrity
Bye then. Toodles.
Terrible video production. The intent is fine, but the execution is horribly amateurish. Rather than FUD hype, a simple list of his anti-LGBT rights record as a politician along with his list of donations (mostly going to the extremely right-wing Mormon church).
I could have produced a far better and more impacting video after one afternoon and two beers, and makes me a bit concerned about the leadership of the HRC. With such bad taste and lack of style, it almost looks like a committee of straight guys were in charge.
the video message will be lost on gay republicans for them equality and gay rights are secondary to aggressive capitalism and small government
Sodom's Judgement, absolutely right. Men who have sex with men ( MSMs) punch way above their weight- 60 times more so- with regard to having sex with under age boys, compared with men who have sex with under age girls.
The Home Office have figures to substantiate this, except that no one is allowed to publicly declare it.
Utter rubbish! See my reply to SJ's post, above.
To my British brothers and sisters across the pond, be calm and carry on; We've Got This!
President Obama is SURGING in the polls. This election is in the bag!
We will also maintain a Democratic Senate and hopefully we will win some of the Marriage referendums. ANY win would be a first and would be very significant. There is a very slim chance that we could win all four.
Hayden….don't bet your life on it. Florida is going for Romney as is the election.
On the question of gay-male paedophilia raised in these comments earlier on please see the excellent article at
and read, learn and inwardly digest its conclusion:
"The empirical research does not show that gay or bisexual men are any more likely than heterosexual men to molest children. This is not to argue that homosexual and bisexual men never molest children. But there is no scientific basis for asserting that they are more likely than heterosexual men to do so."
Note very carefully that "…there is no scientific basis for asserting that they are more likely … to do so" as I said in several replies on this thread earlier.
• Homosexuals are overrepresented in child sex offenses: Individuals from the 1 to 3 percent of the population that is sexually attracted to the same sex are committing up to one-third of the sex crimes against children.
• Some homosexual activists defend the historic connection between homosexuality and pedophilia: Such activists consider the defense of "boy-lovers" to be a legitimate gay-rights issue.
• Pedophile themes abound in homosexual literary culture: Gay fiction as well as serious academic treatises promote "intergenerational intimacy."
It doesn't matter how often you quote the widely discredited and provenly dishonest so-called Family Research Council's OPINIONS, you cannot, by mere repetition, turn such OPINIONS into scientific fact. My link was to a reputable and recognised academic authority – University of California, Davis – that reviewed the existing SCIENTIFIC researches and reached a logical conclusion based on them. Conversely, your link was to an organisation that is a known hate group that supports far-right fascist values and that stands against both democracy and the US constitution. Further, the FRC is a known spreader of lies, false statistics and made-up stories masquerading as truth against any groups in society, including homosexuals, that it sees as 'wrong'. Its financial arrangements are far from transparent and some of its most prominent members have been investigated by the legal authorities. The FRC is altogether completely untrustworthy in just about every respect…
…and also supports such ridiculous ideas as intelligent design as well as being vehemently opposed to the idea that mankind might be contributing to global warming and actively fighting and attempting to rubbish even the other far-right so-called Christian groups that do do not support such stupidities. To summarise: the FRC is, quite simply, a group of bullying lunatics that has absolutely no understanding of the scientific method and that is shunned even by others who might be expected to share its creed.

The "under the radar" Minutemen are getting noticed by at least some Associated Press Top 25 voters.
In the latest poll, released today, UMass shows up with 6 points, appearing on 4 voters' ballots. The Minutemen got one 23rd place vote and three 25th place votes.
They join three other Atlantic 10 schools in receiving Top 25 votes, as Xavier (117 points), Rhode Island (92), and Dayton (70) represent three of the first four teams left out of the Top 25.
Other than a Saturday mathcup between Tennessee and Xavier, there's not any one marquee non-conference game in the Atlantic 10 this week. UMass, URI, and Dayton are all facing a couple consecutive games they should win, which should help them maintain the positive momentum the conference is experiencing through the first third of the season.
