M i n is t e r 's d a u g h t e r c l o i s te r sh e r s e l f in b o y f ri e n d ' s r o o mBy Abigail Van Buren

DEAR ABBY: My 25-year-oldson, "Mark," lives at home, has aful-time job and dates a grl,"Juia," who is a mnister's daugh-ter. He keeps bringngher to ourhome on occasions when she's"sick" or needs to catch an earlyflight and he needs to drive her tothe airport. They are seeingonlyeach other.Juia is in pre-med and Markthinks shes wonderfu and smart.Abby, when she's here, she holes upin his room and never comes out.She's as quet as a mouse. I amboisterous, and I get the feelingIturn her off.The last time she stayed over wasbefore an out-of-state interviewM ark was driving her to. Abby, shenever even said hello or goodbye.He made her breakfast in bed, andthey sat there laughingand eatingwith the door shut.When she visits she stays downin our den and ignores the rest of usthe entire time, as does M ark. A fterthe holidays, she left without wish-ingus "Happy Holidays" or evengiving us a card. I had a present forher, but didn't give it to her becauseI decided I woudn't go out of myway for a person who ignores me.I want my son to move out. I donot want this grl sleepingover orstayingunder my roof anymore. Idon't like her. What shoud I do?My mother says I shoud put myfoot down and send my grown sonout the door. She says I need togrow a spine, but I'm afraid! --MAM A IN OHIO

DEAR MAMA: You are dealingwith two separate issues. Your sonis seriously involved with a girlwho ether never learned basicgood manners or who may bepathologically shy. You and yourhusband should talk privately withMark and find out exactly what herproblem is. You also need to estab-lish some ground rules for whenshe visits, so you don't feel shut outunder your own roofAdult "children" live wth therparents for various reasons. Somecant afford to live independently;

SALT LA KE CITY (AP) K ar-leen Tutton's 22 grandchildren al-ways perk up when she tells the taleof her 6-foot-6-inch great grandfa-ther who stared down a grizzly bearin the 1800s.A bear he was hunting in theUtah wilderness attacked him, sherecounts, and he survived by jam-ming his rifle down the bear'sthroat. The story i s based on a jour-nal he kept, which has been passeddown through generations of Tut-ton's family."The grandkids love that story,"said Tutton, of Springfield, Mo.,"Especially the boys."Tutton is among nearly 7,000 ge-nealogy enthusiasts in Salt LakeCity this week at "RootsTech," thelargest family history conference inthe U.S., now in its third year."I really want to learn more aboutsome of the technology availablefor searchingfor ancestors," saidTutton, 67, whose famly has al-ready traced their roots back to1500 in England and Scotland.

The three-day conference ishosted by Family Search, TheChurch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' nonprofit organizationdedicated to the research of familyhistory.The conference brings togethergenealogy enthusiasts of all levels,

others are tryng to save money tobuy a home of ther own. I don'tknow Mark's reason and netherwll you if you dont address thiswith him.Your mother may be right. I t maybe time for himto move. But whatconcerns me about what has beengoing on is the lack of communica-tion and a certain lack of respect.And nothing wil l change unless youand your husband insist upon it.DEAR ABBY: This year myschool started an international pro-gram, so we have students fromaround the world who attend schoolwith us. I 'd like to learn about theircountries and invite them to theyouth group I attend, but I'm nerv-ous about talking to them and don'tthink I could work up the nerve. I'malso worried about what they willthink of me. What should I say anddo? -- APPREHENSIVE IN INDI-ANA

DEAR APPREHENSIVE:Pl ease don't be afraid to r each out.Put yourself in those students'shoes. If you were in a strangeschool in a foreign country, would-n't you be glad if someone ap-proached you and introducedhimsef or hersef and invited youto an activity, or to ther home fordinner? A ll you need to do is smileand say, "H i, I 'm --." If you do, youcould start a lifeong friendshipand expand your horizons furtherthan you could ever dream.DEAR ABBY: Is it acceptablefor one adut to correct another'sEnglish unless asked to do so?M y sister does it frequently, andI want to know if it's rude so I don'tmake the same blunder. -- GRAM -MATICALLY Y OURS IN NEWORLEANSDEAR GRAMMATICALLYYOURS: It isnt rude if it is donetactfully, in private and in the spiritof beng hepful. If it's done as aform of one-upmanship, it is obnox-ious.

from people with decades of expe-rience to others just getting started.The focus is on how websites, soft-ware and other technology can helppeople find, organize, preserve andshare family history.Organizers say the rise of socialmedia and development of newtechnology has driven more peopleto dig into their family history.The growing expo attendancehas more than doubled in threeyears is another example of howSalt L ake City has become a meccafor genealogists. The church's Fam-ily History Library is consideredthe world's largest repository of ge-nealogy records and is visited by700,000 people annually.The focus on genealogy by Mor-mons is rooted in their belief thatfamilies should be the focal point oftheir lives, and that family relation-ships continue into eternity.Tutton is Mormon, but many at-tendees are from other religousfaiths. Sisters Daisy M cConnell andDonna Lupo are non-Mormonsfrom St. Louis, M o., who are tryingto expand their knowledge of wherethey come from.McConnell has been doingge-nealogy for 15 years and traced herfather's side of the famly back sixgenerations to the early 1800s inSicily, I taly.

No free ridesNEW YORK (AP) A federaljudge concluded that an Internetnews clippingservice essentiallyresold stories from T he AssociatedPress, saying in a decision releasedThursday that the ability of newsorganizations to perform "an essen-tial function of democracy" is jeop-ardized when a company merelyredistributes the news of others.Media observers say the ruingagainst Meltwater U.S. HoldingsInc. and its Me twater News Serv-ice, if upheld on appeal, could pro-vide strong protection for the newsindustry as it struggles to survive i nan Internet age.U.S. District Judge Denise Coterejected Mel twater's claims that itsuse of Web stories drawn from ascan of 162,000 news websitesfrom more than 190 countries wasa fair use of copyright-protectedmaterial."Through its use of AP contentand refusal to pay a licensingfee,Meltwater has obtained an unfaircommercial advantage in the mar-ketplace and directly harmed thecreator of expressive content pro-tected by the Copyright Act," Cotesaid.

fatigue. It's caused by inflammationof the small (and sometimes thelarge) intestine.No one knows for sure what trig-gers Crohn's disease. An infectionwith bacteria that live in the intes-tines may start the process by acti-vatingthe immune system. Theimmune system stays active and

creates inflammation.Usually, Crohn's disease symp-toms come and go. They may goaway complete y, and then return.For many of my patients with thisdisease, this on-again, off-againcourse of the disease is the mostdiff icult thing to deal with. A fter afew relapses, people live every daywondering if the disease is going toreturn again.The inflammation of Crohn's dis-ease involves the inside lininganddeeper layers of the intestine wall.The inside liningcan thicken orwear away in spots. This creates ul-cers, cracks and fissures -- littletunnels that burrow through thewall of the intestine and sometimesspill infected material into the in-side of the abdomen. Ulcers and in-flammation can occur in all areas ofthe digestive tract, from the mouthto the rectum. (Theres an illustra-tononmywebsteAskDoctorK.com.) The eyes andjoints may also be affected.There is no cure for Crohn's dis-ease, but medications can effec-tivey improve symptoms. Most ofthe drugs work by preventingin-flammation in the intestines.A group of drugs called aminos-alicylates is usually the first treat-ment choice. These drugs suppressinflammation in the intestine andjoi nts. They can be taken by mouthas pills, or by rectum as an enema.Certain antibiotics kill bacteria inirritated areas of the bowel and maydecrease inflammation. In peoplewho have diarrhea from the dis-

Nominations can be madeonline at: www.aarp.orgok or bymail."Every year, AARP brings to-gether members from all Oklahomatribes and nations for a celebrationhonoring Indian Elders in a spirit ofpeace and harmony," said AARPVolunteer T ee Edwards, a memberof the Chickasaw nation.

ease, antidiarrheal medicationssuch as loperamide (Imodium) maybe helpful.Other, more powerfu anti-in-flammatory drugs may be hepfu.But they can suppress your immunesystem, increasingyour risk of in-fections. They are not often used ona long-term basis.The newest drugs approved forCrohn's disease are called tumornecrosis factor (TNF) blockers.TNF is a substance made by im-mune system cells that causes in-flammation. TNF blockers havevery serious side effects. They aregenerally prescribed for moderateto severe Crohn's disease that hasn'tresponded to other therapies. Influx-imab (Remicade) and adalimumab(Humira) are TN F inhibitors.Surgery to remove a section ofthe bowel is another possible treat-ment. It is usually reserved for se-vere cases.When I was in medical school,Crohn's disease -- and another in-flammatory bowel disease calledulcerative colitis -- were thought tobe caused by psychologcal prob-lems. Why was this? In my opinion,it's because doctors were unable tofigure out what caused it, so theyassumed it must be psychologcal.Today, we know that certain genesare linked to the disease, and thatthe gut's immune system is overac-tive. Crohn's disease is not in a pa-tient's head; it's in her digestivetract.
