Hey guys! I'm sorry to keep bothering you with questions, but this is very unusual and I just want to make sure everything is okay.
I had a UTI about a week and a half ago, and I finished taking 5 days worth of medication for it on September 28th (last Friday), or somewhere close to that date.
Since then, I've had some strange things happening with my vagina. At first, I was abnormally dry for a few days. There was literally no discharge at all. I wasn't itchy or anything; it was just very dry, and that's unusual for me.
Now, for the past few days, it feels like I am overproducing vaginal discharge! It's slippery and clear and it feels like it's leaking out of me throughout the day. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. Is this normal?
Could both of these symptoms (first the abnormal dryness, then the abnormal wetness) be caused by the meds that I was taking for my UTI a week ago?
I have also heard that this leaking feeling can occur during pregnancy. I shouldn't have any pregnancy symptoms because I haven't had any kind of sexual contact since August, I have never had vaginal intercourse, and my boyfriend has never ejaculated onto any part of my body. Could this be a pregnancy symptom for other reasons (any other ways I could have gotten pregnant, via fingering with pre-ejaculate, touching a penis then touching myself, etc)?

Hi pocket_mouse! I'm pretty sure we've already explained to you why the kinds of sex you have had are not ones that pose pregnancy risks. And since you have also read the articles we have around pregnancy, you know that pregnancy is just really not an option here.
So, with that off the table -- the only way to really know what's going on here is to talk to a doctor or gynecologist about this. They will be able to properly test and diagnose what's going on and prescribe you any treatment you need, whereas I'm afraid we're not capable of doing that, especially not over the internet
So, are you able to get in to see your doctor or a gynecologist anytime soon? If not, do you know of any local walk-in clinics you could use?

Added to what Onionpie said, yes, antibiotics can throw off the vaginal environment.
Again, though, when something feels weird with your body, your doctor is the best person to talk to.

I'm in college right now, so the closest thing I have to a doctor is the university health center, which isn't open on weekends
but I'm hopefully going to go in on Monday.
Is it normal for the meds I took for the UTI to still be affecting me, even a week after I finished taking the meds?
Is it possible that my UTI is actually still going on?
Also, even though I didn't have the kinds of sex which could constitute pregnancy, I'm still worried that I'm pregnant. I really want to understand where these fears come from and why I always feel like something is making me pregnant. Can anyone maybe talk me through this and help me figure out why I'm so scared of it all the time?
Member # 41699
Okay, well monday should be soon enough -- I don't think this is anything that needs immediate action, waiting a couple of days should be alright.
The time for which antibiotics may continue to affect someone can vary, so it's possible that your changes in discharge were caused by the antibiotics. And sometimes UTIs can continue after antibiotic treatment, if it is a more resistant infection. However, changes in discharge are not typically symptoms of UTIs.
May I ask if this level of anxiety you're having is limited to pregnancy scares, or do you experience fear/worry/anxiety like this around other things in your life as well? Did you grow up in a family environment where you had little support or information regarding sex/sexuality? That can often really deeply affect the way people feel about their sexualities, which is why I'm asking that.

Also, sometimes I can't tell if what I'm leaking is excess discharge or urine. If I'm leaking urine, what does that indicate?
I do still occasionally feel some discomfort and irritation similar to when I had the UTI, so maybe I still have it? Should I get that checked out?
Honestly, anxiety does permeate a lot of areas of my life. However, nothing scares me more than the fear of becoming pregnant. Even the possibility of getting an STD is not nearly as scary to me as an unplanned, unwanted pregnancy. And my family, especially my mom, has said that she will support me no matter what. That's why I don't quite understand where my level of anxiety comes from.
I feel that some of it may have to do with my religion. I am Catholic, though in recent years I have struggled with my Catholic faith, identity, and beliefs. One of these things that I struggle with is the notion of abortion. I honestly do not know if I would be strong enough to terminate a child should I become pregnant, but by the same token, I do not know if I would be strong enough to carry the child full-term. I'm worried I would do something drastic, like commit suicide or try to do a self-abortion or something.
I don't have suicidal tendencies or anything. I'm just concerned that if I were to become pregnant, I would view suicide as my only option. My fear of that happening to me could be a cause.
I also have problems with birth control. My other absolute biggest fear in my life is vomiting/nausea. I had a horrible experience with stomach flu at the age of 12 that resulted in me choking on my own vomit and slamming my head pretty hard against a toilet. This incident traumatized me so badly that now, the thought of being nauseous or vomiting paralyzes me and can cause me to shake uncontrollably in fear. For this reason, I have not wanted to take the pill, because I have heard that it will cause nausea that lasts for months, and I simply cannot endure that.
Because I'm afraid of taking the most basic form of birth control, I'm obviously not protected, and therefore I feel like I will become pregnant. I haven't had vaginal intercourse; I have not had direct genital-to-genital contact with my boyfriend; and my boyfriend has never ejaculated in, on, or near my vagina. I know intellectually that for these reasons, it is nearly impossible for me to become pregnant. Yet I still fear that the little things that I've done (touching pre-cum then touching myself, etc) will somehow cause me to become pregnant.

It's pretty unlikely that you're leaking urine -- that tends to be something that happens for older adults, from things like having given birth vaginally, or just the general weakening of the muscles around your urethra. However, if you think that is what this is, you can talk to your doctor about it and they'll be able to find out what it is.
Have you been making sure to drink a lot of water throughout the day? If you don't drink enough water, your urine gets more concentrated and irritates your urethra when you urinate, which is a similar feeling to a UTI. Also, drinking less water than you should also increases the risks of UTIs, so if you don't drink enough it can make your UTI come back. If you have been keeping up your intake of water, though, and you're feeling this irritation, it certainly is possible that your UTI didn't go away completely, and that would be something to discuss with your doctor.
Have you ever considered seeking some in-person help for your anxiety, like a counsellor? A lot of people who have more general anxiety also find that sex and sexuality triggers some extreme anxiety for them, and counselling can really help people learn how to work through and cope with their anxieties. It does sound like your catholic faith might have influenced your fear around pregnancy, that is fairly common. That is also something you could discuss with a counsellor/psychologist. What do you think -- do you think counselling is a workable option for you?
You know, nausea isn't a universal symptom of the birth control pill -- not everyone experiences it. I personally have never experienced nausea from the pill. And for those who do experience it, it is often very mild nausea, though there are certainly some people who experience more extreme nausea and other side effects. It's all very individual, so there's no way of knowing how you would respond to the pill.
However, the pill isn't the only kind of birth control you can rely on. Have you checked out this article?
Birth Control Bingo!
There are many options you can consider -- for example, the mini-pill is often reported as having less extreme side-effects than the combined pill -- and I suggest looking through that article and discussing your birth control options with your doctor, explaining the kinds of things you're looking for (including what symptoms you just cannot deal with!).
Member # 75601
I've definitely been trying to drink more water for this past week and a half. However, I haven't done so well at drinking enough water for only the past two days. Would that be enough to irritate my bladder all over again?
I'm going to try to go see both a counselor and a doctor tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.
Another reason that I still worry that I could be pregnant is that sometimes, little changes in my body look like symptoms to me. For example, sometimes when I get out of a shower, my nipples look darker, and I've heard that this can be a pregnancy symptom. Or sometimes, I will feel slightly constipated, which I've also heard can be a pregnancy symptom. Especially in these last two months, for whatever reason I haven't been certain that my periods were actually periods. Do you think you could help me understand why?
Robin Lee
Member # 90293
Whenever thinking about whether one is pregnant or not, it's first important to think about whether one has had a true pregnancy risk.
It's also important to remember that *not* getting one's period is what *most* women experience as their first sign (symptom, if you will) of pregnancy. The things you're describing--nipple darkening and constipation, are not in themselves signs of pregnancy. IN other words, if one didn't already know that one was pregnant, one would have no reason to attribute those things to pregnancy. Does that make sense?
Member # 75601
Yeah, I totally understand what you're saying! I was just wondering if you could maybe help me understand why I'm experiencing this anxiety to such a high degree.
Also, part of the reason I feel anxious is that I feel like I can't tell if something's my period, or an irregular vaginal bleed. How does one tell the difference?
Member # 41699
If it walks like a period and talks like a period, then by golly, it is a period!
And what I mean by that is -- if it comes when your period is due, and lasts for as long as your period usually does, and is as heavy as your period usually is, then you can trust that it's your period.
Firstly, any irregular bleeding associated with pregnancy is RARE, so most women do not experience ANY bleeding when they are pregnant. Secondly, for those who DO get bleeding during their pregnancy, it usually looks very different to their period -- it doesn't come at the right time, or it lasts a lot shorter time, or it's a lot lighter in flow.

Member # 75601
Yes, it does make sense
thanks for your patience with me!
So I went to the university health center on Monday and got my urine and vaginal discharge tested. They said everything was fine, but I still sometimes feel bladder irritation, usually in the middle of the night. It doesn't even feel like an irritation of the urethra. It just feels like I'm suddenly ultra-sensitive to my bladder now, and so even if I've just gone to the bathroom, I'll still feel like peeing again will make my awareness and sensitivity to my bladder go away. Does that mean anything?
Robin Lee
Member # 90293
It likely just means that you're more aware of your bladder now because of having that UTI. Often, we can become more aware of parts of our bodies that we weren't at all aware of before. Often when that awareness comes up, taking a deep breath and telling ourselves that we recognize that nothing is wrong can help keep that feeling at the level of awareness and not let it get to the level of anxiety.
Speaking of anxiety, you asked above why you're having this degree of anxiety right now. That's not something we can tell you since we can't look into your brain.
Are you having any relationship problems, even just mild ones? How about stress with school or family?
I see above that you haven't engaged in sexual contact since August. I'll still ask though: any anxieties around sex?
The information we're giving you: What impact is that having on your level of anxiety?
Member # 75601
I do have some relationship problems, mainly with my insecurity in myself and my consequential jealousy issues.
I am definitely stressed about school! It's my first quarter in college and I'm getting used to the pace of the quarter system.
Yeah, I do still have anxiety about sex
I'm really grateful for all the information you've given! Really, it means a lot. It does ease my anxiety some. But I do still get worried.
Member # 75601
Also, I had another kind of gross question. I noticed today that when I went to the bathroom, my underwear was lightly stained a slight yellow-y color. However, when I check my vaginal discharge, it appears to be white. What's going on?

"At a crossroads"
Pros – Ample opportunity for leadership and advancement, good salary and benefits packages, decent communication within individual business units. I was treated very well by my immeidate supervisors and there is genuine culture of rewards and recognition in place. The corporation is very well-run, very professional.
Cons – There is a potential disconnect between sement-level daily priorities and corporate plans/desires. The education segment felt, at times, like something of a black box -- it was not clear that corporate understoon exactly how we were being run on a day to day basis, and that manifested in some lack of follow-through. The segment talks a very good game regardign the future, but the needed activities didn't always take place at the ground level.
Advice to Senior Management – Spend more time planning future revenue streams/alternative businesses; spend more time building concensus within the segment.

The subject allows students to work on high profile strategic planning and design issues in three areas critical to the future growth of Australia's urban environment: Metropolitan Urbanism, Urbanism on the periphery and Regional Urbanism. The aim of the subject is to analyse the existing fabric or specific precincts in transition; identify the artificial and natural boundaries which shape or limit their place setting; and develop a range of sustainable generic urban design strategies that resolve areas of discontinuity and open up options for stimulating urban regeneration. On completion of the unit students should be able to: Develop an understanding of the place of architecture and landscape within the context of the city; explore methodologies for evaluating and responding to an urban context; be familiar with the preparation of an 'Urban Design Framework'; develop strategic planning policy and guidelines information to assist in the effective urban design decision making; evaluate the impact of design related decisions on community health and well being; appreciate ecological sustainable development principles within the urban context; and make sensitive design decisions which consider the cost/benefit impact in relation to both physical and cultural heritage issues.

Q - I was wondering if you could tell me if there is reference in Scripture to baptizing babies. Do we baptize babies because of tradition or are we following Scripture?
A - Thanks for the question. There is no contradiction between Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, thus the teaching is from both and ultimately, from Jesus. First we start with Scripture. In several places in the New Testament it speaks of baptizing families. One may assume that infants were a part of these families.
"After she and her household had been baptized, she offered us an invitation, "If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my home," and she prevailed on us." - Acts 16:15
"He took them in at that hour of the night and bathed their wounds; then he and all his family were baptized at once." - Acts 16:33
"I did baptize also the household of Stephanas" - 1 Cor 1:16
But, alone, this does not "prove" infant baptism. We also see that all are called to be baptized and there is no age restrictions. On the day of Pentecost we see the following after Peter preaches:
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they asked Peter and the other apostles, "What are we to do, my brothers?" Peter (said) to them, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit. For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the Lord our God will call." - Acts 2: 37-39Notice that Christians are called to baptism and that the promise of the Holy Spirit given in baptism is for "you and to your children".
We can also see a fulfillment of the Jewish practice of circumcision from the old covenant in the new covenant practice of baptism. Paul makes this comparison explicit:
"In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not administered by hand, by stripping off the carnal body, with the circumcision of Christ. You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead." - Col 2: 11-12
So, we can see there is ample implicit Biblical evidence of infant baptism. Those that reject infant baptism are doing so on an argument from silence, that is they assume it is not valid, because it is not explicitly ordered in the Bible. Well, we also see that the early Christians practiced it and that they understood it to be perfectly consonant with Scripture. Thus, early Christians wrote:
"And when a child has been born to one of them[ie Christians], they give thanks to God[ie baptism]; and if moreover it happen to die in childhood, they give thanks to God the more, as for one who as passed through the world without sins." - Aristides,Apology,15(A.D. 140)
"And they shall baptise the little children first. And if they can answer for themselves, let them answer. But if they cannot, let their parents answer or someone from their family." - Hippolytus of Rome, Apostolic Tradition,21 (A.D. 215)
"'And [Naaman] dipped himself . . . seven times in the Jordan' [2 Kgs. 5:14]. It was not for nothing that Naaman of old, when suffering from leprosy, was purified upon his being baptized, but [this served] as an indication to us. For as we are lepers in sin, we are made clean, by means of the sacred water and the invocation of the Lord, from our old transgressions, being spiritually regenerated as newborn babes, even as the Lord has declared: 'Except a man be born again through water and the Spirit, he shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven' -John 3:5" - Iranaeus, Fragment (A.D. 190).
There are many more references here. I hope this helps.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Jordan Rodgers finally gets his chance to show Vanderbilt what he can do at quarterback from the start of a game.
The junior college transfer missed all of 2010 due to a torn labrum, and shoulder surgery limited Rodgers during spring workouts and put him behind in Vanderbilt's quarterback competition. He played in each of the first six games coming off the bench.
The younger brother of Green Bay Packers' quarterback Aaron did enough by running for 80 yards and overseeing three touchdown drives in last week's 33-28 loss to Georgia to make his first Division I start Saturday night against Army (2-4) for the Commodores (3-3).
Vanderbilt coach James Franklin said he thinks the team fed off how Rodgers competed and so they'll see what happens now.

"30 Rock" star Alec Baldwin is showing up on TV in an unlikely spot -- in ads for Wegmans.
The actor in May made an appearance on "The Late Show With David Letterman," when he mentioned his mother didn't want to move from Central New York to California because she didn't want to leave Wegmans behind.
In this Wegmans video, Danny Wegman explains how Baldwin got so much response from his comments on Facebook about his mother's attachment to the store, that Baldwin called Danny Wegman and offered to shoot an ad for them.
In one of the ads, he talks about the high price of coffee in New York City. And we know how he feels about coffee.

The maximum size of a stable white dwarf, approximately 3 × 1030 kg (about 1.4 times the mass of the Sun). Stars with mass higher than the Chandrasekhar limit ultimately collapse under their own weight and become neutron stars or black holes. Stars with a mass below this limit are prevented from collapsing by the degeneracy pressure of their electrons. See more at degeneracy pressure.

Coaching changes aren't abnormal. After all, there were more than 30 in the area alone.
However, six of those hires belonged to one school — Meridian Community College — over the course of one summer, and that mass turnover within the Eagles' athletic department, which also included a new athletic director, is The Star's No. 8 story of the year.
Coaching turnover is nothing new for MCC either, exemplified most in the men's basketball program. Since George Brooks left the Eagles' sideline to join the Mississippi State staff following the 2009-10 season, MCC is on its third coach in three years. Well, technically fourth, although one never coached a game.
After one season under Jeff Walker, MCC hired Dale Brown to lead the program. However, another coaching opportunity came along and Brown departed within a month and Nathan Courtney was handed the reins to the Eagles. One season later, Courtney left to return closer to home and MCC turned to a former Eagle standout in Cedric Drake.
"Cedric has been a winner all his life — on and off the court, and I expect him to have that kind of positive influence in building a solid program at MCC," college president Dr. Scott Elliott said in release announcing the hire.
Turning to someone with Eagle ties became the norm during the busy offseason for Elliott and Sander Atkinson, who was tabbed as the new athletic director in replacing Hilary Allen, who also was the women's basketball coach before announcing his retirement in August.
Another former player was named the Eagles' new softball coach as Faith Robinson replaced Robert Eakins, who retired. Robinson played third base for Eakins in 2000-01, helping MCC reach the national tournament both seasons.
"I am really looking forward to my renewed association with MCC softball," Robinson said in a school release. "In fact, it's a dream come true for me to come back to MCC."
Another MCC coach that realized a dream in ascending to a head coaching job with the Eagles is Mike Smith. An assistant coach with MCC for five seasons, Smith was promoted to the head women's soccer coach — becoming the second in school history as he replaced Alex George, who remains the men's coach.
"This has always been a dream of mine," the former MCC star said.
MCC also promoted an assistant and former Eagle standout to head coach of, possibly, its most prominent sport as Dillon Sudduth replaced Chris Curry as head baseball coach. Curry, also a former Eagle, left MCC after two seasons to join the staff at Northwestern State. Sudduth had served as an MCC assistant for five years under Curry and Chris Rose.
"This is a bad news-good news day for MCC," Elliott said at the time. "Losing a young, dynamic coach of the magnitude of Chris Curry is undeniably a blow, but the good news is that we have a very capable coach waiting in the wings in Dillon. In actuality, Dillon was a serious candidate for our head coaching job two years ago when Chris came on board."
Promoting from assistant to head coach has been the norm for MCC's baseball program as Sudduth became the sixth Eagle assistant to become head coach joining Terry Williams, Scott Berry, Mike Federico, Chad Caillet and Rose.
"It's a formula that has worked well for MCC," Elliott said in a release. "But that's only because the assistant coaches MCC has promoted have been part of a highly successful program. In fact, they have all contributed mightily to that success. Dillon has earned his shot, and I am confident that he will continue the tradition of excellence we've enjoyed with Eagle baseball."
Another sport that has enjoyed excellence has been MCC's golf team, which also will be under its third coach in three years. Following Sean Covich's departure to MSU as an assistant, Clinton Hales guided the program for one season. In his stead, the Eagles turn to former Lamar coach Ronnie Key and father of former MCC star Easton Key.
The only hire without direct ties to the college was the replacement for Allen, who just led the women's basketball team to the national tournament for the first time since 2000. Upon his retirement, MCC turned to Jocelyn McGilberry, who spent more than 20 years of major college coaching experience to the Eagles, including 17 in the Southeastern Conference at Ole Miss and Mississippi State.
It was a hire that excited Elliott, who said the Eagles "hit the jackpot.
"I'm just ecstatic. Coach McGilberry is a perfect fit for MCC."

A family is homeless after a fire in Fitchburg.
Firefighters were called around 7:30 p.m. Saturday night to the 2900-block of King James Way in Fitchburg.
No one was injured, but firefighters were on the scene almost four hours.
Right now there's no word on the cause or damages from the fire.

NORMAN — Black Friday had some folks camping out in front of local outlet stores in order to compete for limited stock super sales. Technology, of course, rates high on the Christmas wish list for many, but the big box retail stores weren't the only ones raking in Christmas greenbacks.
For some shoppers, keeping it local has its advantages — namely a more leisurely, less crowded shopping experience with better customer service and more unique gift offerings.
George Smith said five members of his family were out shopping on Friday.
"We live in Lawton," he said. "You have wonderful shops here (in Norman). My daughter-in-law is a professional shopper. She knows where the best shops are."
Smith said they focus on locally-owned businesses.
"The merchandise and the service is good," Smith said.
A Cayman's customer agrees.
"I prefer locally owned -over franchise," said Tammy Stanfill of Houston Texas.
She shops many of the local stores when she's in Norman for the weekend for University of Oklahoma football games. Black Friday is no exception, she's just finding better deals this weekend, she said.
Rieta Selberg comes all the way from Germantown, Tenn. to attend OU home games and she loves shopping the local stores in Norman — In Your Dreams on Main Street is one of her favorites.
Most local stores will continue to run sales throughout the month. While the big box retails may not match the super low promotions that highlight Black Friday, many of the smaller, local businesses will be hosting special sale events on other days rather than compete with the big stores on Black Friday.
Brockhaus Jewelry is offering a gift card giveaway promotion with purchase.
"What we look at is trying to give our customers added value," said Katherine Brockhaus.
The jewelry store will host a Trunk Showing on Dec. 1 featuring Andrea Candela silver and gold diamond and colored stone jewelry.
Like many small businesses with a low mark up that prohibits price slashing, Brockhaus said her business depends on quality goods and service to keep customers coming back.

Mitt Romney stood before the Republican National Convention delegates on Thursday and proclaimed, as he has done over the past year, that he was the best person to fix the broken economy.
"(President Obama's) promises gave way to disappointment and division," Romney told the delegates, as reported by The Tucson Citizen. "This isn't something we have to accept. Now is the moment when we can do something. And, with your help, we will do something."
Meanwhile, the economy is still the hot issue this year, given the high unemployment numbers and low growth. According to the National Journal, both Romney and Obama are in a dead heat when it comes to who would be better at economic issues.
The economy is still the most important issue for 71 percent of the voters, the article noted.
This week, we head into the Democratic National Convention, where the political left will explain why Obama should stay in office and why he deserves another four years as commander in chief.
When comparing the two candidates, who do you think is better at economic issues? President Barack Obama or Mitt Romney? Take our poll and share your thoughts in the comments.

Knoxville — Since our last report, all 250 children, whose names were left with the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce in need of a Christmas gift, will have a present Christmas morning.
Chuck Galeazzi with Helping Hands Food Pantry in Knoxville said today that there are no names left at the Chamber. He did not have final numbers, but he believes that around 350 children total will have a brighter Christmas, thanks to the generosity of the Knoxville community.
There is still a need for food baskets. The Chamber has information regarding those requests.
The Journal-Express is still collecting new Hats, Underpants, Gloves and Socks still in packaging for donation to area children. Items can be dropped off at the office at 122 East Robinson during business hours (M-F, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.)
With the success of granting the Christmas wish list for children, Galeazzi believes Knoxville took another step closer to the Most Compassionate Community award.

It was September 8th of last year, but Denise Quick remembers it like it was yesterday.
"I didn't know what that was- I was in the house and you just heard this loud boom and I thought, 'this is too loud to be thunder,'" remembers Quick.
In fact, it was a partial building collapse, the walls of an old commercial garage at 6039 Pine Street gave way, burying the sidewalk in bricks and debris.
Denise says police and firefighters were joined on the scene by the Department of Licenses and Inspections, which promised to clean up the mess.
"And they did- they came out that night. Late that night they had a contractor come out and clean it up, but that part fell and they didn't take that," says Quick.
That was ten months ago.
The mess, and the fencing to block off the sidewalk- have been there ever since.
Pastor Rebecca DeLoach runs the Bible Union Fellowship church right next door to the fenced-off brick pile.
Worried about congregants forced to walk into the street- into traffic- to get around the fencing, she petitioned City Hall for help, without success.
"311 we've called a number of times. We keep calling and they said it's already in, they're waiting, there's nothing they could do, and that's because everything's in the hands of the owner of the property," says DeLoach.
That would be Kevin Bunch.
L&I says he's responsible for cleaning up the mess, they've been fighting with him for 10 months to do just that.
City records show Bunch owes more than 20-thousand dollars in delinquent property taxes on 6039 Pine Street.
I called him, looking for answers, but had to leave a message...
While the city and property owner fight, the folks on Pine wait for someone to do something.
"And it's just been here way too long. When all they need to do is clean this up, push this fence back and free up the sidewalk. It's just a safety issue," reflects Quick.

CNHI Harrisburg Bureau
In 2004, Danielle Bellerose gave birth prematurely to twin girls at a hospital in Massachusetts. Eight days later, one of the babies died.
Bellerose tried to question hospital staff about why the complications that killed her daughter were not recognized more quickly. But no one at the hospital would share any information with her. Eventually, Bellerose filed a malpractice lawsuit, and seven years after her daughter's death, she was awarded $11 million.
It is the kind of case that gives doctors and hospital administrators nightmares. The Bellerose lawsuit also demonstrates how poor communication between hospital staff and families of patients can drive people to file malpractice lawsuits, said Dan Davis, director of bioethics for Geisinger Health System, based in Danville. And it's the exact kind of case that lawmakers hope to avert by new legislation intended to shield doctors who apologize after something goes wrong with a patient's medical treatment. The push for the legislation has been led by Republican Sens. Pat Vance of Dauphin County and Gene Yaw of Lycoming County.
Specifically, the bill makes any benevolent gesture made prior to the commencement of a medical liability action by a health care provider, assisted living residence or personal care home inadmissible as evidence of liability or an admission against interest.
Vance's bill passed the Senate and now goes to the House of Representatives.
Thirty-six states, the District of Columbia and Guam have provisions allowing medical professionals to make apologies or sympathetic gestures.
The bill was backed by dozens of business and medical advocacy groups. Proponents say that doctors frightened of the specter of malpractice lawsuits may not speak openly with patients and their loved ones. But the failure to communicate often fuels the feeling that the hospital or doctor erred and doesn't care about the human costs.
Vance said that studies have shown that a large percentage of patients and families may not have filed medical malpractice suits if given an explanation and an apology regarding the event.
"I think this piece of legislation is a great compromise," Yaw said. "It allows doctors to make expressions of sympathy without fear that those expressions will be used as a weapon against them, yet the legislation still preserves the rights of individuals to pursue claims for substandard health care."
The trend toward protecting medical apologies probably began almost 15 years ago when a landmark study determined there are an estimated 98,000 medical errors in U.S. hospitals each year, Davis said.
Based on that finding, health systems began to explore what they could do to improve their operations to limit medical mistakes.
Legislation protecting doctors who acknowledge to loved ones that something went wrong is a natural byproduct, Davis said.
"I understand this as another chapter in the evolution of physician attitudes toward truth-telling," he said.
Many hospitals have adopted policies spelling out exactly how patients or their loved ones ought to be told when something goes wrong, Davis said.
"If the aim is to be benevolent, honesty is the far better means to that end than deception," Davis said. "(At Geisinger), we have an explicit policy that you should disclose, within 24 hours, a medical error that poses an actual or possibility of harm."
An apology is supposed to be part of that disclosure process.

A lawsuit filed by ten immigration agents challenging President Obama's Deferred Action policy has been dismissed in federal court.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents filed the suit last year. They said deferred action forced them to violate federal law by not sending known immigrants into deportation proceedings.
Government attorneys argued the Texas federal court did not have jurisdiction over the case. Instead, they said the case could be heard by another court reserved for disputes among federal employees.
A group of San Antonio clinics that once served only the local barrios has received an infusion of federal funds to support expanded services.
A member of United Way, and accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, Centro Med has 21 sites across Bexar County and into New Braunfels, serving more than 5,000 people. San Antonio and West Texas Congressman Pete Gallego says the federal funds recently approved will help the clinics get their medical services to more underserved residents.
"The grant is just under $550,000," Gallego said.
With the lack of rain and the summer heat beating down the area, the Edwards Aquifer Authority is declaring Stage 3 pumping restrictions. It's only the second time that the EAA has declared Stage 3 for users of the San Antonio pool of the Edward Aquifer. The first time was last summer, from August 15th to September 15th.
This year, the EAA is calling for Stage 3 two weeks earlier than last year.
There's been another shake-up at the San Antonio Symphony. Jack Downey is leaving his post as President and CEO after being in place for only three months. When Downey was named head of the San Antonio Symphony in May, the former Air Force Officer had established a track record of leading local non-profits including the San Antonio Children's Shelter. Downey explained while as a guest the KSTX's "The Source" that his plan was to build the San Antonio Symphony's supporter base.
This weekend wraps up the third annual Mozart Festival Texas. A solo recital takes place Friday night with Rick Rowley. Saturday an orchestral concert rounds out the festival with two masterpieces: the 'Jupiter' Symphony and the Piano Concerto No. 20. Terry Frazor will conduct and feature piano soloist Ryo Yanagitani, a former Gold Medalist with the San Antonio International Piano Competition.
The senate's recent plan to overhaul U.S. Immigration policy included a provision called the "Border Surge." It's a multi-billion dollar plan that would double the size of the Border Patrol and expand the border fence.
The number of people in Texas infected with the Cyclospora parasite from a recent outbreak has nearly doubled in the last week. The state is trying to locate a common source, as other states believe they have pinpointed the cause to lettuce.
122 people have contracted cyclospora since the outbreak began two weeks ago. Cyclospora is a parasite that can cause symptoms similar to gastrointestinal illness like diarrhea and cramps that can last for weeks.
The San Antonio Economic Development Foundation has released its report for 2012, highlighting a $1 billion per year impact to the area as a result of expanded and relocated businesses.
Henry Cisneros, who chairs the board of the foundation, said new jobs being created in San Antonio are in "horizon" sectors, including healthcare and bioscience, new energy, and information technology.
In the first segment:
VIA has officially unveiled a proposed streetcar route that would run east-west along the Market and Commerce Street corridors downtown.
The route, which also includes a Cesar Chavez option, was popular with many people. VIA's Chief Engagement Officer, and former congressman, Charlie Gonzalez, said the plans knocked off the table now are routes VIA couldn't ignore: one that passed the Alamo and another at Hemisfair Park.

The Buffalo Bills already have sold more season tickets for 2012 than they did for last season, but that doesn't mean they're super thrilled with where they stand.
In case you only check the sports section and missed the story, Buffalo News reporter Gene Warner spoke with Bills CEO Russ Brandon about the kind of box-office response fans have delivered in what so far has been a red-hot offseason. The Bills added free-agent defensive ends Mario Williams and Mark Anderson and re-signed popular players such as running back Fred Jackson and receiver Stevie Johnson.
"With the offseason we've had, we were hoping we'd be a little further along with our season tickets," Brandon said, "but overall we're pleased with the progress we've made. ... We have a lot of work ahead of us. We continue to have a challenge to move that needle" on season tickets.
Brandon said the Bills already have surpassed the 40,000 season-ticket barrier. They sold 37,355 last year.
But they'll have to get cranking to catch the 56,011 they sold for 2008.
The Bills have one of the cheapest tickets in the NFL, and their season-ticket package consists of only seven regular-season games (because of the annual Toronto excursion) compared to eight around the rest of the NFL.

Ergon GA1 Evo Grips $24.95
Grip evolution.
Designed for all-mountain and gravity-oriented disciplines, the Ergon GA1 Evo Grips feature a rounder, more traditional profile. The shape is subtler, than Ergon's other grips, yet they still feature a position- and hand-specific design.
For function, the grips have been contoured for easy grasping. And for comfort, Ergon has padded the GA1 Evo grips with a combination of soft rubber and center gel for enhanced damping. Both attributes have been heightened with the GA1's left- and right-specific design, where each grip is contoured to fit the hand that it was designed for. For a simple setup, Ergon marks 'left' and 'right' on each grip, as well as 'up,' so that you know which way to orient the grips. The grips are locked into place via slim, lightweight aluminum clamps at the end of the bars.
The Ergon GA1 Evo Grips are available in the colors Black, Blue, Green, Red, and White. Please note that they are not designed to work with twist shifters, and that any customizing of the grip will invalidate the warranty.

These are my go to grips, and have been for years (in different versions of course.) Why? They're comfortable as the subtle contour fills the void in your palm. So when you go for epic rides, you suffer less fatigue. Secondly, the end cap is slightly larger than the grip, providing additional leverage to pull against, and a comfortable reminder of the limits of the bar.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A Charlotte Church is working to send as much love as possible to the kids of Sandy Hook, organizing an effort to collect 10,000 teddy bears to send to Connecticut.

"This morning I called a couple friends and said, 'Hey. I had this thought and idea. What do you guys think about it?' [They replied] 'We're a hundred percent behind you, lets go,'" he said.

Dinner for 150?
The Carnelian Room can accomodate that many people. I'll actually be going to a wedding reception there tomorrow. As far as I know, the prices aren't cheap, though I'm not sure if it's any more expensive than having a reception at a hotel. The food, from my experience of having dinner there once many years ago, was good. But I didn't feel that the quality was worth the price we paid. I'll be able to elaborate more on the food when I get back from the reception tomorrow. I'm a little put off already since I was told that I can't have my filet mignon medium-rare, only medium or more well done.
Would your brother consider a reception at a hotel? I had mine at the Downtown Marriott 7 years ago and it was great. The food was wonderful and the service impeccable (both were better than my friend's reception at the Half Moon Bay Ritz). The prices weren't bad either.
re: anna
re: anna
Alright, just got back from the reception at the Carnelian Room and here's my report:
Seafood chowder: tomato based "chowder" with bay shrimp, crab meat and some unidentifiable ingredients. Very average, nothing I'll order at a restaurant.
Endive salad: The salad was not very fresh. Many pieces of endive have brown edges and there was a small pool of liquid (either dressing or water from the endive) left on the plate.
Filet Mignon: It came medium-well, on the dry, chewy side. Had trouble cutting it with the knife provided. Didn't have much beef taste to it. It's about Black Angus quality. Came with roasted potato (very mediocre), baby carrots and asparagus. It was the same vegetables as the chicken except that the chicken had mashed potatoes.
If I have to plan another wedding, I would not choose the Carnelian Room UNLESS I really wanted the view. The view up there is amazing, at least on a nice day. The food however, is below the quality of many restaurants of the same price.
One more thing about having receptions at a restaurant or at an event venue such as the zoo (I love that idea, by the way....) in general: make sure you have a "clean up" crew. The florist can set up your flowers, but it'll be up to you to pack them up if you wish to keep them. That's also the case with any extra favors, cake serving utensils and caketop.
At a hotel, on the other hand, the staff can do all of that for you. No one at the wedding had to worry about clean up. My cake top, serving utensils and the decorations were all collected, cleaned, organized, and brought to my suite (hotels often give the bride and groom a free room at the hotel when the reception is held there).
This may sound crazy, but I went to a pretty good wedding reception at the S.F. Zoo. They have a nice reception hall and their own catering facilities. It was actually some of the best catered food (not saying much) I've had at a wedding. It's definately worth checking out. No idea about the pricing but here's a link...
re: bdl
re: Melanie Wong
As I now recall, the best thing about the food is that it was served family style. They would bring a big platter of food to the table, pass it around, and then leave it there for those who wanted seconds. The food was hotter and fresher than had it been plated individually or sitting on a buffet table. What I remember is good, moist, chicken breast in a white wine sauce and butternut squash ravioli in sage butter that was excellent.
re: bdl
I planned one of our company's holiday party at the SF Zoo. It was FANTASTIC! We had buffet style food. But it was more the general atmosphere. You can also rent out the carousal and have a meet and greet with some of the animals. It was so much food. And the food was pretty good too.
have them check out www.herecomestheguide.com
it is a local bridal magazine that lists locations for receptions with price ranges, indoor/outdoor etc.... i recently had mine at Marines' Memorial Club on sutter and it can very easily accomodate that many and the food was wonderful. they provide a free tasting for all booked parties there so you can taste the numerous options. They were also wonderful to work with and allowed me to bring in special port wine to drink as well at no extra cost.
re: Mel
Mel --
My fiancee and I are seriously considering Marines for our wedding/reception. Could you tell me a little about your experience? We've got a wonderful feeling about the place so far, but we haven't had a chance to talk to anyone who also had a wedding/reception there.
Thank you!
Patio Espanol in the Excelsior has banquet rooms that can easily accomodate a group of 150, serves Spanish tapas and entrees and definitely fits the not-expensive profile. Plenty of free parking and easy access from either direction of 280 is an added bonus. I've been there on evenings when there were wedding receptions and family celebrations going on, and the food has always been fine when I've dined there (do a board search and the reviews are generally positive).

Seagate has offered to buy the idle Solyndra plant in California, though the price is well below what it cost to build the facility, according to a report.
President avoids mentioning solar panel maker Solyndra's embarrassing collapse during his State of the Union address but nevertheless says it's time to "double down" on the idea.
In a showdown with Republicans, Energy Secretary Steven Chu says no political influence came into play in approving the DOE's $535 million loan guarantee to solar company Solyndra.
In advance of Energy Secretary Steven Chu's testimony to investigators, a House subcommittee releases e-mails indicating that DOE officials tried to hold off announcement of Solyndra's layoffs until after the November 2010 election.
Beacon Power, a flywheel storage company that received a government loan guarantee, said its storage plant will continue to operate as it seeks new sources of capital.
Brian Harrison, who was CEO when Solyndra declared bankruptcy and shut down, has resigned "as scheduled," the company says in court filings.
Newly disclosed e-mails reveal "a disturbingly close relationship" between the White House, campaign donors, and wealthy investors relating to Solyndra, say congressional Republicans.
analysis Political furor over the Solyndra bankruptcy has dealt a body blow to the idea that the government should try to help clean tech start-ups through the costly "valley of death" to commercial viability.
In an interview, Obama says loan guarantees to energy technology companies like Solyndra are necessary to compete internationally and support U.S. manufacturing.
The company will ask for permission to auction off its state-of-the-art factory built with more than $500 million from the federal government.
