Sex Abuse Among Men in the Military

Florida Today (my local Gannett rag) has published an exclusive report, “Sex Abuse Revealed In Ranks”. The VA has been quietly collecting data nationwide on the extent that men have been sexually traumatized while in the military. The reporter for Florida Today was able to see the preliminary report as well as interview the doctor heading up the military’s only program to counsel men who were raped while in the military. The reported results, although not finalized, show that more than 1 in 100 men treated by the VA, for other medical conditions, report being sexually ‘traumatized’ by peers or superiors.

Mercury Direct

You are not alone if the past 20 days has been characterized by mis-communication, missed appointments, computer and vehicle glitches, and ‘re’ everything–re-doing, re-working, re-submitting, etc. Mercury has been in retrograde--meaning that from where we stand it appears to be moving backwards. These times are characterized by one snafu after another.

Today however, Mercury resumes its apparent forward motion and it’s full speed ahead. The first contacts made as Mercury goes direct seem to have a fated quality. The people you meet are likely to be important in your future. This is also the time to be very clear about plans and projects in the workplace.



Safety – Hydrogen Cars vs. Gasoline Cars

If you are concerned with the use of hydrogen in motor vehicles, check out this University of Miami study that torched two cars–one hydrogen and one gasoline. The pictures are well worth the read.



New Look

As you may have noticed, MSCLL (that’s this site for the acronym impaired) has a new look. Thanks Hugh for the wonderful graphic....it fits like a kid glove!! We haven’t even met; which makes me think I must be fairly transparent! I haven’t finished tweaking the site yet, so there will be some more minor changes in the future, but there’s only so much code I can delete in one sitting without becoming a bundle of nerves. For once I quit while things were still working!
