Although the vast majority of deaf and hard of hearing children attend public schools with or without support services, being mainstreamed, schools for the deaf are still very much a viable option. Benana7 asked on the forum for help with preparing for a debate on the pros and cons of attending a deaf school versus being mainstreamed. Several people on the forum responded (Selected comments follow).

I do know from what has been told me by people who deal with the deaf at a deaf private school, that if a deaf child has been mainstreamed, they were happier once they got into a deaf school. At least that has been the experiences of the children at this particular deaf school.

deafgrrl chimed in:
Several of my friends are special ed majors, and I myself am a product of the special ed system, so I know quite a bit about this. I think that the majority of deaf and hard of hearing kids should be required by law to attend a school for the deaf for at least their early childhood years. Partial inclusion can and should be an option. I don't think that the purpose of special ed should be segregation. However, part of the reason why schools for the deaf are so bad is b/c most of the students there, didn't get the appropriate early intervention. Most of us dhh students cannot get appropriate EI services at mainstream schools. Also most special ed at mainstream schools is targeted towards learning disabled or "ADD" slacker kids. As a result, anyone receiving mainstream sped services is targeted as a future slacker who is just going to spend their entire lives on disability, and not accomplish much.

bostonmumadded:
This is secondhand "hearsay" info but... a good friend of mine who is deaf and was mainstreamed was shocked by the low expectations/levels of achievement when he substitutes taught at a school for the deaf. I am hearing and just starting to open my eyes to Deaf culture, but his experience was that it was better to compete with hearing children than to be in an environment where the expectations were lower. Of course, each school is different, but I think kids (all kids) need to be challenged in an age appropriate way and prepared for that big world out there. If that's not happening (at any school--Deaf or hearing), then the school is failing its students.

Published author GinaOliva stated:
I was mainstreamed as a solitaire (my word for being the only or one of a few deaf/hoh kids in the school) during the 50s and 60s. I am now a professor at Gallaudet University. I recently published a book on this topic; it includes my story and the comments of 60 adults of various ages who were also mainstreamed in the K-12 years. You can order "Alone in the Mainstream: A Deaf Woman Remembers Public School" from Amazon.com. You can also read a chapter at the Gallaudet University Press website at http://gupress.gallaudet.edu/ Once at the website, click on "Catalogue" and you will find it there.

I wrote this book for parents, teachers, aunts, uncles, etc, of today's mainstreamed hard of hearing and deaf kids. I welcome any comments or questions.

JesKlu exclaimed:
I believe that what you (deafgrrl) said was right. Deaf and hard of hearing kids should attend a school for the deaf in their early childhood years. Then, in my opinion, is mainstreaming them but in self-contained classes for the deaf. This way they are in contact with both deaf and hearing kids. Which, in my opinion, is the best option. Some people think differently, but that's what I think needs to happen.

4my2kids added:
I support mainstreaming because it gives hard of hearing and deaf students more exposure to education. It gives them more options in the future when they finish high school. It helps them become stronger when they are around hearing people, most of the students from the deaf school are not comfortable around hearing people when they are off campus. Parent involvement is very important when their child is mainstreamed in public school. Hard of hearing and deaf students need their parent's support. Hard of hearing and deaf students won't be so isolated if parents be part of the school functions with them and teach them to respect each other. Bullies are everywhere no matter if you're hearing or deaf so we have to be strong and show them we're not afraid. There are even a bully or two in deaf schools. Parents don't realize how much power they have so they can fight to help their child get what their child needs in public school. I agree that public schools need a sign language class. Cochlear Implants can also help mainstreaming deaf children.

Public schools have music, orchestra, band, cheerleading dances, school choirs, etc that students with hearing aids and Cochlear Implants can participate in if they're interested.

starbuckkitty commented:
Personally, if my children are dhh I would mainstream them. I would definataly make sure that they had dhh friends, but I would not make them attend a residental school. The standards there are in general lower...

An experienced parent, mandeezmom, wrote:
My daughter is 17 years old. She is very oral and received an implant at 9 years of age. She has spent the majority of her school years in public schools because I believed she would receive a better education... We come from a decent size town, but small in deaf population. She attended large schools, I requested fm systems in each classroom, she had fairly decent interpreters (do to me sitting on the interview panel). The trick was keeping an interpreter because of pay, unavailablity of sub interpreters if interpreter was sick, general ed teachers not wearing the fm device because they felt their voices were loud enough, getting the fm systems repaired, as needed, them sitting my child next to a loud vent, district hiring "warm bodies" as interpreters (if they had one sign language class at a community school given by a teenager, they had the necessary skills, right!) no criteria whatsoever for the hiring of a qualified and skilled interpreter and who determines the skills (someone with no deaf experience). So, we endured years of this kind of treatment in public schools, with me fighting for all of this all the way. You cannot even imagine the amount of advocating that I done for my daughter in the last 17 years. (I could write a book)

I also checked out our state deaf school even when she was a small child. I just never felt comfortable with it, at the time, I felt she would be held back if she went there, boy was I wrong. In hindsight, I wished I would have sent her when she hit middle school. After years of fighting and her bombing in 9th grade we made the move and had her ready for 10th grade at the deaf school. This was the best decision I have ever made and I wished I would have done that sooner. It was also very hard, I live many miles away so she lives there during the week and comes home on the weekend. I don't get to see her everyday like before, this was extremely hard, broke my heart. I am okay with it now, because this is better for her, this is what she needs. Mothers sacrifice.........

...in sending her to the deaf school she gained her identity, confidence and self-worth. The deaf school works on the same curriculum as the public schools. She has one-on-one access to education (deaf teacher to student) that isn't watered down by the skill level of the interpreter giving her the academic information. She has had years of missing chunks of information left out in public schools (NOW things make sense, the pieces of puzzles are coming together). She has gained very close friendships, (no communication barrier) experiences that she could not gain in public schools. She is a cheerleader, participates in sports with hearing teams, she has been a Homecoming Princess for two years in a row, she has friendships with other deaf students all over the United States from this exposure. Since she is very oral, she has gained deaf culture and ASL language, she is bilingual, and this can only help her. Since she has been there, her academics and vocabulary soared, as well as her world knowledge. They are not being held back in that environment whatsoever...

The conversation was joined by motorbike83:
I am deaf and grew up in oral school and didn't like it because of being so far away from my family and my home. I have 3 sisters and 1 brother whom I should have grew up with so I only saw them during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and summer. I went to the deaf school from 9th to 12th grade. I shouldn't have went there because I made very good grades at the oral school and my grades dropped at the deaf school because of sign language. My english also detiorated. There were some things going on in the dorms that parents don't know about and you can't trust supervisors. I think mainstreaming is far the best. I have several very smart deaf friends who graduated from public schools.

RodomJr remembered:
I went to Governor Morehead School for the Deaf in Raleigh from 1963 to 1970, Eastern North Carolina School for the Deaf in Wilson from 1970 to 1973 and North Carolina School for the Deaf in Morganton from 1973 to 1977 and all of them had about average 4th grade reading level!...

Another experienced parent, FuzzyFamily, described her experience with her daughter who has additional needs besides hearing loss:
My experience with raising a deaf child has been similar in many ways to yours - my daughter is now 14. She is severe/profound by her audiogram, but is not oral.

We struggled with the public schools, lousy interpreters, being in a ghetto within a hearing school, and never learning to read. One major issue I had with public schools was that they could not seem to get it that a child could be deaf AND have other learning issues - my child has language processing problems, memory problems, and vision problems - multiple learning disabilities, but certainly capable of learning.

We moved halfway across the country to be near the best residential school we could find - and bought a house 7 miles from the school, so she could be either day student or dorm. She prefers the dorm, and we keep open the option of coming home for evenings during the week any time she wants to. Also, she can come and bring friends home if their parents agree to it. She is home on weekends and all holidays. We drop in at the school fairly often, and I've applied for a school nurse job there. I know not all residential schools are safe, but we've done what we can to be sure she has the best of both worlds.

My daughter is a solid member of the Deaf community, still has pretty low level reading skills, uses her voice some, and signs fluently, but in a rather simple form, and leans more toward English structure than pure ASL. She will not be ready to graduate on time, but she's not in the vocational track either. She is an intermediate level - a delayed graduation/low literacy. I hope she will be willing to stay in school long enough to get a real diploma and not just the certificate of attendance.

A deaf mainstreamed teenager, coollgurll, put in her two cents:
I'm a high school Senior and deaf. I have been mainstreamed all my life. I have interpreters full time ever since kindergarten. If you ask me if I wish to go to the deaf school, I would say no because I'm really happy the way I am. I know ASL but I like english better because I have some friends who use ASL & their reading is low. I don't want low grades & I make honor rolls. I have different friends hearing, hoh, & deaf plus my boyfriend is hearing... think it depends on each individual & how they do in school.

JoFire04 joined the conversation with her opinion:
I personally prefer the choice of both. I have had a good experience in my education in mainstreamed and residental. I can get more opportunities in a residental school than a public school, but then who knows, it depends on the child itself. If i do happen to have deaf children or hoh, depending (but who cares!), i would have them stay at home and go to school - however in my case, the quality of education sucks in my county where I live. Interpreters suck pretty much. I would home school them with some cases in the academic schools until they reach middle school age and ask them if they want to go to the residental school or not. I would compromise with them and say, stay at the school for 6 months or so for experience.

...Some people tout "4th grade" reading level at residental schools. Again....it depends on the child's parents who have an obligation to oversee the education process and the right to equal education in ANY location, private, public, residental and so forth. Parents have that responsibility rather than just sending them to the residental school because they "can't handle the job of taking care of a deaf child".

deafgrrl replied to JoFire04:
Yeah, and most of those people are anti-Deaf and don't even realize that oral kids AND mainstreamed kids ALSO have poor reading levels. It's not just res schools!

A teen at a school for the deaf, LilQualls, wrote:
I am a senior in Kansas School for the Deaf and i m in 5th grade level, i have a difficult time to improve my writing and reading... just becuase i dont read any book for my spare time... that s what cause me... but look at my mathemics skills, histroic skills. i can read very well... i have a friends in my school they are good at reading but some of them are not good at mathemics, it was vary...

I think deaf children should go to school for the deaf... maybe some of ya forget abt their first language is America Sign Language (ASL)

...I used attend to mainstream school with no deaf program... i did never happy there, until i moved to school for the deaf and im so truly happy now! I m looking forward to my GRADUATION!

Another parent with a combination mainstream/school for the deaf experience, Pua27, remarked:
I don't think that a mainstream school if for every deaf or hard of hearing child. I had my oldest son in a mainstream school in Oregon, and it just didn't work for him. The mainstream school I had him in was a great school. The other 3 hard of hearing children in his class had no problems, however my son really struggled with the mainstream school. It was to hard for him to focus on his teacher and the interrupter at the same time. I now have both of my hard of hearing children in the California School For The Deaf, and what an improvement I have seen in my oldest child.

He is learning so much more being in a class where they only sign. He does receive speech therapy twice a week for 30 min. We have chosen to do total communication with our children. My husband and I are not deaf nor hard of hearing. The other thing I have noticed since we have put our son into a Deaf School is that his speech and language is really coming out.

The other thing I wanted to say was, even the deaf schools have sports programs for their students. They have a cheerleading squad, Football team, Basketball team, etc..... It's not just mainstream schools that have those programs.

Do you have an opinion on deaf schools and mainstream programs to add to this article? Send it in.

Bruce Wayne Dances the Scorpion Tango in 'Batman Incorporated' #3 [Preview]
The woefully off-schedule Batman Incorporated appears to be back on track, with a new issue on sale this week and another in just a fortnight. Written by Grant Morrison with artwork by Yanick Paquette and Michael Lacombe, the particularly fun series that follows Bruce Wayne on his quest to franchise Batmen to the major cities of the world continues with issue #3's Argentina-set story, in which Batman meets with the dashing hero, Gaucho. We've got a preview.Batman Incorporated #3 was originally scheduled to release in January. Unspecified delays have pushed the issue's release until this week, but the universe is compensating by releasing Batman Incorporated #4 in just two weeks. Guest-starring Gaucho, the Batman of Argentina, issue #3 pits the heroes and Catwoman against Duende, a creature of Latin folklore. According to DC Comics' blog, The Source, Batman refers to duende as, "the fierce lust for life that we feel and express when we know death is near."
Written by GRANT MORRISON
Art by YANICK PAQUETTE & MICHAEL LACOMBE
Cover by DAVID FINCH & SCOTT WILLIAMS
1:25 Variant cover by J.H. WILLIAMS III
Batman and Catwoman travel to South America to reunite with Gaucho, Argentina's Batman Incorporated representative. But their trip may be cut short when an unexpected adversary sends things spiraling downward!

Lower facelift with muscle tightening may be all you need if your neck is just a bit flax. Here's why:
- lalu
- Last updated: 4 years ago
1. The cost is about half of what the two procedures would have cost.
2. By lifting and tightening your lower facial muscles the surgeon also tightens the upper neck muscles. So if your neck isn't super wrinkled you will still get the lifted look. I really felt like I got two for one.
3. You don't have to go under general anesthesia (GA). For me it was crucial to not go under. I didn't have to deal wit the nausea, the groggy feeling and all the aftermath of GA. My doc gave me a Valium and a Percocet and I was totally relaxed during procedure. I heard it and was aware of everything she was doing but I much preferred that. My surgeon spoke to me the entire time and truly it went by pretty quickly. When she was done she put the bandage on me and I was able to just walk out and have a chipper conversation with my (driver) friend. No throwing up, no lightheadedness, no recovery room time/tubes/etc...
4. Faster recovery time. I know everyone is different and some may be a bit fearful of being awake during procedure but being put to sleep for an elective surgery is scarier for me. I don't regret it at all. Lower facial surgery is serious alas it is and it's nice to be able to opt out of GA. Im on day 4 of recovery and feel pretty good. Still swollen (more on one side than the other). I think my ps did a great job so far I am mostly impressed with my neck. Which is the only thing I can appreciate thus far. It will be about 8-10 days before my jaw lines show again but so far I like what I see.

LAKE SUCCESS (Nov. 24)
In order to ensure demilitarization of the Jerusalem area and provide protection for the Holy Places there, a minimum of international machinery is essential in the city, the representative of the United States told the United Nations Special Political Committee today in opening debate on the Palestine case.
Declaring that the United Nations cannot impose control on Jerusalem, John C. Ross, for the American delegation, nevertheless gave strong support to the plan for an international regime drawn up by the U.N. Conciliation Commission, describing it as a "golden mean" between two extremes. He said the plan was "consistent with the middle-of-the-road course to which we adhere."
Following this 40-minute plea for adoption of the Commission's plan by the General Assembly, the delegate of France, Ambassador Jean Chauvel, also referred to the plan as a compromise deserving the attentive examination of the Committee, although he added that it could not be considered free of defects and said France would criticize portions of it later. Expressing surprise at what he called Israel's questioning attitude towards the powers of the U.N. Assembly in the matter, M. Chauvel agreed with the American delegate that "the region of Jerusalem must be neutralized to protect the Holy Places from political and military conflict."
The Palestine debate began this morning with a plea to the 59 delegates from the Committee chairman, Ambassador Nasrollah Entezam of Iran, to stick to the present issue and refrain from "opening old wounds." The Committee then heard a defense of the Commission's plan as "workable, effective and appropriate" by the Commission's acting chairman, Hussein Yaltchin, of Turkey.
Before debate began, a representative of Transjordan, Fauzi Mulki, was seated in the Committee when there was no objection to his request to participate in the debate without vote. Transjordan is not a member of the United Nations.
In supporting the plan, Mr. Ross specifically rejected what he called two other "extreme" courses–on the one hand, the assumption that the Assembly was wrong last year when it approved a resolution that Jerusalem should have a permanent international regime, and on the other, the assumption that the Assembly was wrong in departing from the 1947 concept of an international city as a separate entity. The first is essentially the Israel view, although Mr. Ross did not mention the Jewish state by name, and the second is embodied in an Australian resolution to be presented to the Committee.
Mr. Ross defended the plan in much the same terms as the Commission itself did in a recent statement of clarification. Recognizing that the state of Israel owes special obligations to the Jewish population of Jerusalem, he said the plan neither imposes any political regime nor deprives the people of Jerusalem of their inherent right to self-government. He also declared that the 14-member council proposed in the Commission plan would not be a super-government, but merely a forum for consideration of joint Arab-Jewish matters and that the international court outlined in the plan would not substitute for local courts.
Although he emphasized throughout his address the "fundamental considerations" of preserving full local autonomy, Mr. Ross stated that the U.S. believes that demilitarization of the area is necessary and that only the kind of control regime envisaged in the Commission plan could be regarded as fully adequate protection for the Holy Places.
Turkey supported the Commission's plan as a compromise between the wishes of the Assembly and the "realities" which the Commission found in Palestine. Australia's representative, John Hood, rejected Israel's claim to sovereignty in Jerusalem and called for the establishment of a real U.N. commission on a more representative basis to implement the original Assembly decision. He called on Israel to abide with what he described as the overwhelming sentiment of the United Nations and world opinion. Mr. Hood said it would be "dangerous" to make a final decision now apart from the overall territorial settlement of the Palestine problem. The Committee adjourned until tomorrow when it will hear a statement by the International Red Cress on the question of refugees. The Syrian delegate said he has a long statement to make in the debate. The Israel delegation announced Aubrey S. Eban may also speak tomorrow.
(In Washington, 17 prominent Protestants, including university presidents, religious leaders and well-known anti-Zionists, yesterday petitioned President Truman and United Nations Secretary-General Trygve Lie to establish "a true, complete and effective international regime for the entire city (of Jerusalem) and its environs and the elimination of the sovereignty of any particular state." They urged that "the necessary means" be provided to overcome resistance to internationalization. They added that they felt compelled to speak for "all Christians.")
Israel yesterday gave its support to a joint United States and British resolution calling on all U.N. members to settle international disputes by peaceful means, and upon the five great powers to broaden the area of cooperation among them. The resolution is in opposition to a Soviet proposal condemning United States and Great Britain as warmongers and suggesting a five-power peace pact. Aubrey S. Eban of Israel made clear to the 59-nation Political Committee that it was the denunciatory aspect of the Soviet resolution that his nation could not support.
He also warned the great powers against the resurgence of German military power. Out of the rivalry among the powers, Mr. Eban said, "we see emerging the clear danger of competition in an effort to win German sympathies. The result may well be the disastrous resurgence of German military power which has twice in our generation inflicted untold suffering on mankind."

I went out again this weekend, and it was shooting some pretty good groups with the factory .005 patches and 490 round balls. I was shooting 50 grains of pyrodex RS backed by a 209 primer. This was at about 25 or 30 yards. The nice thing about the thinner patches is that I can thumb seat them and don't need my starter. However, I don't think the seal is all that great. I don't know, though, as I can't seem to find my patches. I think the wind was getting them, and as I wasn't at a formal range, there isn't a great deal of clear ground to find them. With a little bigger patch, do you think I could drive the ball a little harder, or is that more of a function of twist rate than patch thickness?

Pay attention, parents: Kellogg Co. has claimed in national advertising that Frosted Mini-Wheats is "clinically shown to improve kids' attentiveness by nearly 20 percent."
That would be great if it were true.
Unfortunately, the Federal Trade Commission said this week that those claims were "false and violated federal law."
Tony the Tiger, how could you?
The FTC found a few cracks in Kellogg's clinical study:
• Only about half the children who ate Frosted Mini-Wheats for breakfast showed any improvement in attentiveness.
• Just one in nine kids showed improvement in attentiveness of 20 percent or more.
• Kids who ate Frosted Mini-Wheats averaged an improvement in attentiveness of just under 11 percent, but the study compared them with kids who ate nothing at all for breakfast.
Compared to a kid who's on the verge of fainting, anybody seems attentive.
"We tell consumers that they should deal with trusted national brands," Jon Leibowitz, the FTC chairman, said in a statement. "So it's especially important that America's leading companies are more 'attentive' to the truthfulness of their ads and don't exaggerate the results of tests or research."
In response to the FTC's charge, Susanne Norwitz of Kellogg said in prepared statement: "Kellogg Co. has a long history of responsible advertising. We stand behind the validity of our clinical study, yet have adjusted our communication to incorporate FTC's guidance."
A proposed settlement bars Kellogg from "deceptive or misleading cognitive health claims for Kellogg's breakfast foods and snack foods, and bars the company from misrepresenting any tests or studies."
A soon-to-be-released report on breakfast cereals by the Center for Science in the Public Interest does note that Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats are 100 percent whole grain and have at least 3 grams of fiber for every 100 calories.
That earned Frosted Mini-Wheats one of the center's "best bite" honors, which means they are good for your health. They just won't make your child a genius. In fact, the center notes Kellogg still needs to phase out of some varieties of Mini-Wheats, the ones that use dyes Blues 1 and 2 and Red 40, which promote hyperactivity and behavioral problems.
It's hard for parents to know what to feed kids when the company's ads are feeding us nonsense.
Bruce Silverglade, legal director for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, advises carefully reviewing food labels.
"Some claims on breakfast cereal are approved by the (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration," Silverglade said. "The rest are what amounts to … snake oil. It's nearly impossible for the consumer to know which is which."
Some claims are FDA approved, such as the heart benefits of General Mill's Cheerios.
But the food companies get tricky with wording. They'll make claims such as "made with whole grain" or "whole grain guarantee," though the cereal has little whole grain. Labels should say 100 percent whole grain.
So here's the Edge, courtesy of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. Look for:
• Whole grain cereals. The center counts wheat, corn and oat as whole grain. Soy, flax and sesame seeds are healthy but not grain. Ignore claims such as "made with whole grain," "whole grain guarantee" or "multi-grain"
• Rich in fiber labels. It should contain at least three grams of fiber for every 100 calories. Fiber lowers risk of heart disease, diabetes and constipation, studies show. Full of "intact" fiber is best, as additives classified as fiber may not protect health.
• Low in saturated fat. It should contain no more than one gram of saturated fat.
• Free of aspartame. This artificial sweetener caused cancer in some animal studies.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Drop Hints That You're LGBT
Perhaps you're laying the groundwork for coming out to someone, you want that straight person to quit crushing on you, you want to let a certain someone know you're compatible, or you want to be publicly open about your orientation/gender identity. Here is how to suggest that you aren't straight/cis.
1Wear clothes with LGBT+ themes. Consider shirts, bracelets, dresses, and necklaces. You might go with slogans announcing your sexuality, symbols, rainbows, or flag color schemes (e.g. black, grey, white, and purple for asexuality).
- Make sure that any clothes are purchased from an LGBT-friendly organization. For example, FCKH8 has a less-than-pretty track record with the LGBTQIA community.[1]
2Enjoy LGBTQIA media. Read LGBT+ books, watch Gay & Lesbian movies, and look at pictures of pride events and same-gender couples. Allow people to see you with this media, and when they see other hints too, they'll start wondering.
3Mention LGBTQIA topics. Bringing up the subject can place it in their minds, and their reaction will give you a feel regarding how they might respond to you coming out. Here are some subject matters to try:
- Marriage equality
- The Trevor project
- LGBT+ celebrities (e.g. Ellen Degeneres)
- Human rights
- Things happening in the LGBT+ community
4Discuss an anonymous LGBT+ friend. Frame it in the context of asking for advice regarding this friend. This will help you get a sense of the person's openness, and it will help that they are imagining their words reaching an actual person. You may choose to describe this "friend" as being exactly like you, or as being something related (e.g. a bisexual friend when you are pansexual).
- "Dad, I'm looking for some advice. One of my friends is asexual, and she wants to come out to her parents, but she's really nervous and she doesn't know how. Do you have any tips I can pass on to her?"
- "One of my friends recently came out to me as genderfluid. I want to support them, but I'm not quite used to the idea. I was wondering if you had any advice."
5Compliment the appearance of an actor/actress of your gender. If you are homosexual or bi/pansexual, this will suggest that you find people of the same gender attractive.
- "Wow, he looks really hot with his shirt off."
- "I absolutely love her! She brings such a cool and poised presence to her scenes, and she has the most beautiful eyes."
6Begin wearing your gender more openly. If you are transgender, you may want to start dressing in more gender-neutral ways, or ways that suggest your binary gender (if you aren't nonbinary). Try tweaking your wardrobe, cutting/growing out your hair, or messing with accessories.
- For some people, gender and gender presentation are very different. This is okay. You don't have to dress to match gender roles if it's uncomfortable or undesirable for you.
7Allow yourself to act more stereotypical (if you had been suppressing it). If you're a closeted gay man who loves interior design, give home decor advice. If you're a girly lesbian, perhaps you want some extra glamour to look like a lipstick lesbian. A little stereotypical behavior is one way to drop hints.
- Only meet the stereotype if it feels genuine and comfortable to you. Some LGBTQIA people match the stereotypes pretty well, and some don't. Neither way is right or wrong.
8Use gender-neutral language when discussing your relationship status. This challenges the idea of compulsory heterosexuality and suggests that you might not be straight.
- "So, your ex-boyfriends..." "Exes."
- "Yes, I'll bring my partner to the office party."
- "Actually, I don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend right now."
9Hang out with LGBT+ people. You need friends who are like you, and it'll suggest to others that you aren't straight or cis. (Win-win.)
10Love your LGBTQIA self. Your identity is a valid and important part of you. Straighten your back, stand tall, and smile. It is okay to be yourself.
Community Q&A
I've used all of these and they still can't guess. What do I do?wikiHow ContributorConsider just coming out. If you're afraid to, wait until you're more comfortable with telling them and are sure they are LGBT friendly.
My dad still doesn't get that I'm gay, even though I blast Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Rihanna, always wear gay clothes, and have a gay vibe. What should I do?wikiHow ContributorIt's very likely that he knows, he just doesn't fully accept it or he feels too awkward to bring it up with you. Your best bet (assuming you feel safe doing so) is to just tell him directly.
I'm a female who has has short hair, boy's clothes, a boy's personality, and I'm interested in things boys are interested in. I've had male friends for the longest time, but nobody seems to notice that I want to be trans. Is there a way I can fix this?wikiHow ContributorYou should tell them. It's usually a bit harder for people to infer that someone is transgendered than that someone is gay/lesbian. It's not as common a thing. Meanwhile, tomboys who are not truly transgendered are pretty common, so everyone may just be assuming you're a tomboy. Plus, people might think this sort of thing is not their business and not say anything about it even if they do suspect it. It's up to you to share that part of yourself if you want to.
I have a HUGE crush on my best friend: the only problem is that she's straight, and she recently got a boyfriend. I don't know how to come out to her -- I am scared of telling her because I think that she might judge me. What should I do?wikiHow ContributorFor starters, if she's a true friend, she will accept you whether you identify as LGBT or not. Perhaps a pertinent question, though, is why you want to tell her...Is it just so she'll know, or because you have a crush on her and hope that somehow it will be reciprocated, even though she's clearly straight? If the answer is the latter, it's best that you reconsider. You wouldn't want to be seen as -- or be -- manipulative.
I'm a lesbian, but I honestly just feel kind of girly sometimes, which is like, the opposite of lesbian stereotypes. How do I come out without it being a total shock?wikiHow ContributorDon't worry about stereotypes or any of that nonsense. You are who you are and that's great. Any intelligent person knows that stereotypes are not true to life, there are plenty of very feminine lesbians. Just be you, who cares if people are "shocked" or not.
How do I do this if I'm pansexual?The exact same way that a gay or bisexual person would do it. Pansexual people are still LGBT (the acronym has been updated to LGBTQIAP+, which is kind of a mouthful, so some people still say "LGBT" or "LGBT+" to be brief). All of the steps in the article can apply to you. Figure out what works for you, watch how others react, and decide whether, when, and how to come out.
I've told a few of my close friends I'm bi, but I'm crushing on my close friend's best friend. Should tell my friend I have a crush on her best friend?wikiHow ContributorTell your close friend about your feelings. She can help you decide if it's a good idea to pursue your feelings with her friend or move on.
How do I tell my teachers and school to call me by my pronouns and name? I don't want them to get my parents involved because I haven't told them yet.wikiHow ContributorI would suggest talking to a school counselor. They are generally open-minded and trustworthy and they will also be aware of any school policies regarding trans/identity issues. You could also try talking with a teacher you like and feel would be receptive and get his/her input.
I'm pansexual but I think people are starting to get a "lesbian" vibe from me (including my parents) because I dress like a stereotypical butch lesbian and bought some rainbow themed things recently. How do I avoid anyone coming out for me, especially with the wrong sexuality?wikiHow ContributorThere's always going to be those few people that just don't get it. My advice is to just tell them you're pansexual. If you're not ready, just ignore any comments from others or tell them that your sexuality is none of their business. You know who you are, and that's really the only thing that matters.
How do I tell my strict parent's that I'm gay?wikiHow ContributorIf you depend on them (financially or other way), don't come out until you know you're safe.

- Dropping hints, while a useful part of the process, can be confusing to people if it goes on for a long time. Be prepared to come out soon and set the record straight!
- If you're transgender, dropping hints can be extremely difficult. It can often be better to just come out to them, rather than confuse your friends. When I tried dropping hints (I'm ftm) they all just thought I was a butch lesbian, even though I never mentioned my sexuality. This is because sadly, stereotypes still dominate society.
- People may need different amounts of hints in order to get it. They could bring it up the very first time they notice something, or it may take much longer.

The long-term extension of the JADA study evaluated the efficacy and safety of baricitinib in 201 patients taking either 4 mg (n=108) or 8 mg (n=93) once daily for up to 52 weeks. Doses could be escalated to 8 mg once daily at 28 or 32 weeks at the investigator's discretion when the patient presented more than six tender and swollen joints.
As previously reported, in the initial 12-week portion of this study, baricitinib was associated with statistically significant improvements in the signs and symptoms of RA disease versus placebo[1] and these responses were maintained or improved during an additional 12 weeks of blinded treatment.[2]
In the long-term extension, the clinical improvements observed at week 24 were sustained through 52 weeks in RA patients. The following chart summarizes selected efficacy results:
Disease Improvement / Activity Measure
Responders/Total Patients (Percent Responders)
149/201 (74%)
139/196 (71%)
83/201 (41%)
96/197 (49%)
43/201 (21%)

93/195 (48%)
116/194 (60%)
Boolean Remission
19/195 (10%)
32/194 (16%)
Safety Results
Safety signals observed during the open-label extension were consistent with previously reported results of baricitinib. Among patients who remained on the 4 mg dose, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in 57 (53 percent); serious adverse events (SAEs) in 11 (10 percent); infections in 34 (31 percent); and serious infections in four (4 percent). Among patients who received the 8 mg dose, TEAEs occurred in 59 (63 percent); SAEs in eight (9 percent); infections in 37 (40 percent); and serious infections in two (2 percent). No opportunistic infections or tuberculosis cases were observed. There was one death in the 8 mg group due to a suspected myocardial infarction.
"In this clinical trial baricitinib showed statistically and clinically significant improvements in the features of this condition, which were maintained throughout a year of treatment. To date, baricitinib has demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and side effects have generally been straightforward to manage. These encouraging findings support further investigation of this new drug in rheumatoid arthritis," said Peter Taylor, M.A., Ph.D., F.R.C.P., Norman Collisson Chair of Musculoskeletal Sciences in the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences at the University of Oxford, and steering committee member for the study.

Trial Design
This randomized, open-label, long-term extension of Phase 2b JADA study included 201 (95 percent) of the eligible 212 patients. Of the 201 patients, 184 completed 52 weeks of treatment, 15 discontinued treatment, and two patients had not yet completed the full 52 weeks of treatment. Patients received either 4 mg or 8 mg once-daily doses of baricitinib beginning at week 24 through week 52.
In the initial 12-week treatment duration, patients received one of four doses of baricitinib (1 mg, 2 mg, 4 mg or 8 mg) or placebo, administered once daily. In the 12- to 24-week portion of the study, patients initially randomized to placebo or the 1 mg baricitinib dose were re-randomized to receive either 4 mg once daily or 2 mg twice daily for an additional 12 weeks; patients initially randomized to the 2 mg, 4 mg and 8 mg doses continued therapy with those doses.
Patients who completed week 24 were eligible to receive either the 4- or 8-mg once daily dose through week 52. The study is ongoing, with all patients who are continuing in the study receiving baricitinib 4 mg once daily.
About JAK Inhibition
There are four known JAK enzymes: JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 and TYK2.[3] These enzymes are critical components of signaling mechanisms used by a number of cytokines and growth factors, including several that are elevated in patients with RA. Cytokines such as interleukin-6, -12 and -23 and both type 1 and type 2 interferons signal through these pathways. JAK-dependent cytokines have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, suggesting that JAK inhibitors may be useful for the treatment of a broad range of inflammatory conditions.
About Baricitinib
Baricitinib is an orally administered selective JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor. Baricitinib is in Phase III development as a potential treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. It is in Phase II development as a potential treatment for psoriasis and diabetic nephropathy.
In December 2009, Lilly and Incyte announced an exclusive worldwide license and collaboration agreement for the development and commercialization of baricitinib and certain follow-on compounds for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
About Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that is characterized by inflammation and progressive destruction of joints.[4] Current treatment of RA includes the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, oral disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs such as methotrexate, and injectable biological response modifiers that target selected mediators implicated in the pathogenesis of RA.[5]

Diner's Notebook
Style over Substance
I was charmed into visiting Baroque, a recent restaurant addition to the artsy shopping mecca of Sunset Boulevard, by outward appearances. First, I was excited about its location. Hurray for the gutsy restaurateur, I thought, who was willing to brave the ghost of the epically popular Ouisie's Table, which was formerly located next door. Next, I was attracted by its look. The narrow storefront and ornately painted balustrade embracing an intimate upstairs balcony beckoned to the Europhile in me. Studying the restaurant's facade, I couldn't help but entertain a brief fantasy that some balmy spring evening, diners on the balcony might be surprised by the appearance below of a gondolier lazily poling his way down a canal. My curiosity was further aroused when, peeking into a window, I saw several colossal crystal chandeliers hanging in a row -- each of them completely different. What, I wondered, to make of a designer audacious enough to do that?
Truth is, Baroque's owners appear to have decided to go all out and have some fun with the theme of their restaurant. Gorged with elements of exaggerated classicism from its namesake period's architecture, the interior of the restaurant threatens to overwhelm the eye. But the close observer will realize that the design is actually a gentle spoof. The murals are a bit too colorful, the immense pillars gilt entirely in silver a trifle too brash, the spangled chandeliers a tad too extreme to be a true homage to the baroque. No, these people are having fun with style.
Too bad the playfulness of the design doesn't spill over to the menu selections or to the food preparation. Brimming with the sort of Continental cuisine basics that were the standards of elegant dinner parties in the '50s and '60s, the menu takes itself far too seriously. Or, perhaps, not seriously enough. Consider the prices: $12.50 is the average cost of a luncheon special. In this price range, the food should be outstanding in some regard. But the chicken parmigiana, smothered in tomato sauce and congealed mozzarella, appeared to have been stuck under a warming lamp for two minutes too long. And the soup du jour, which sounded so tempting when described by the waiter as a jambalaya of smoked duck sausage and grilled chicken, consisted of a watery tomato-based broth in which swam much chicken and very little duck. Broiled Atlantic salmon, other than being prettily served with a generous sprig of fresh dill resting atop it, was, well, boring. And my companion aptly observed that he worries about snow peas -- here served alongside each entree -- that appear too oily. Granted, none of the food was remarkably awful, but it certainly didn't live up to the extravagance of its setting nor to the tastefully high standards of its neighborhood.
I'm afraid that without a quick overhaul in the kitchen, Baroque may soon become as defunct as the era that inspired it. -- Kelley Blewster

A Robot Engages Chris Cooley In A Rap BattlePosted by on August 11, 2009 – 6:49 pm
So last Thursday, Clicky The Internet Safety Robot was at training camp. Chris Cooley mistook him for Gumby, although in Cooley's defense he was a little busy practicing football. Anyhow, I thought it was an interesting side-note at that day's practice and mentioned it on the blog. I really didn't think there would be much more to the story.
Well, Clicky apparently didn't like being mistaken for Gumby, and has elected to respond to Cooley. In rap format. On YouTube. In what might be the politest rap battle ever. He even calls him Mister Cooley and offers valuable lessons in internet safety.
I've got nothing to add to that, although I can't think of much that would be much better than a Cooley rap response.

Yahoo Sports reported earlier today that the numbers for this past Saturday's Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Kennedy card drew an audience of 420,000 viewers.
"While that isn't a blockbuster number, it holds up well in relation to the promotion's other offerings on Showtime. The Heavyweight Grand Prix Final in May did slightly better at 463,000 viewers, and the most attention-grabbing women's fight in some time, Miesha Tate vs. Ronda Rousey, pulled in 472,000 viewers."
The numbers do show they are at least holding their core audience's attention. The true test of Strikeforce's growth will be in August when Ronda Rousey steps in to the cage again to face Sarah Kaufman.Tags: "bj Penn", featured, Luke Rockhold, mma, MMA NEWS, Ronda Rousey, Sarah Kaufman, Showtime, Strikeforce, strikeforce news, Tim Kennedy, ufc news

Discussion in 'The National Football League' started by TheRealJoker, Jan 13, 2008.
Is the Texans at Reliant Stadium on Battle Red Day!!!
hahahaha...... i respect the pats O... but i been thinkin how lucky they were to not have to come here.... especially since our players play big for big games
There is no game bigger than Battle Red Day!!! Those Pats clowns would've been beaten into bolivion if they had the misfortune of playing us on BRD.
that's what I'm talking 'bout
As much as I'd like to agree, I'm too much of a realist. Quinn Gray and the Jaguars-Lite dismantled our secondary in that last game of the season. I shudder to think what Brady, Moss, and Welker would do to us.
Quinn Gray didn't play us on BRD!!!
What a funny thread.
ya, that was battle red day...... but we won right??? if i remember correctly our back ups beat their backups and hung 42 on em as well....
I agree. Fantasy ain't reality
thats what makes it fun.....
We would own them on battle red day!!! We should wear that uni ever game home or away!!
Our starters couldn't beat the Patriots backups....even with battle red karma on our side.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Thank you for your question. Please permit me to assist you with your concerns.If you have evidence that he did kill your cat, I agree that it would not be defamatory. But it may still be actionable. He could, in theory, file suit for 'invasion of privacy', specifically for claiming that your sign paints him in 'false light' (as he can arguably defend his actions in some way that he shot a trespasser and not completely without cause, even if the it is not fully true). I will be honest and state that I am not seeing the benefit of this for you--and unless you want additional drama and additional issues, I cam not seeing this as a benefit. Instead you can always consider taking him to small claims and suing him for the value of your pet. Since a pet is considered to be personal property, much like your tractor, and he deprived you of your property, you can sue him for the value that pet had for you. And as there is proof that he did shoot and kill your pet, such a claim is valid and can be potentially successful. Plus, such an approach is perfectly legal and possibly even more financially painful.Hope that helps.
In order to prove that he DID NOT shoot the cat, being that the cat is on his property a lot, he can call me when he sees the cat. The cat has already been missing too long.
He shot the cat twice before. that's what I'm going to sue him for. my pet insurance reimbursed me $50.18 out of a $1900 bill. Then there's the vet bill from last April, but I did get reimbursed for all possible.
Didn't know these wounds were gunshots until I SAW THE XRAY REPORTS stating metallic fragments....I have a beef with the vet that they told me verbally when I was there that xrays were okay. They just read the botXXXXX XXXXXne and the botXXXXX XXXXXne did not mention fragments, so the radiologist was very sloppy on this too. Medical director emails and said he had spoken with hospital leadership and they are going to add a summary to my baby's report.
I swear to God, mail is getting worse as time goes by. More of it and more inaccuracies, i.e., credit card refunds missing after 6 months, wrong dates, no dates on important documents, etc., etc. On my kitty's last vet visit, there were so many inaccuracies many paragraphs had to be redone and they have to get permission to do that. I'm a medical transcriptionist so I know the importance of accurate documentation. A misplaced comma can change the meaning of a sentence.
I caught this guy red-handed shooting at my cat, didn't hit him. Shooting at him across a road. Dwelling are far too close to his where he shouldn't be shooting on his property at all. Shoots at raccoons coming into his yard. His on the raccoon's property not vice versa. God forbid he's shot a raccoon and didn't kill it putting him in the unbearable pain he put my kitty in on those two occasions. Say him last night, asked him where my cat was, didn't know. What did you do with him? Did you kill him? Says I'm not answering any more questions. If it were me and I did not kill the cat, I would have said NO, I DID NOT KILL THE CAT. This cat comes home every day no matter where he's been during the day. Something has definitely happened to him as we haven't seen him since 4am last Friday.
This guy is as volatile as they come. Loses temper and you don't know what he will do. His neighbors fear him. Walks around with a gun on his right hip every day everywhere. Shot a gun in the air last night after speaking with him.
As mentioned, his big mouth forces me to go to court where both sides of the story can be told. I have the tractor issue and now the cat issue. Can I put both on a small claims form to be heard at the same time? One does have something to do with the other.
Carol,Thank you for your follow-up. Typically the courts, for efficiency, consolidate cases. While these are separate issues and causes of action, they can be heard together at the same time. You would need to file them separately but can ask that courts schedule both for the same day and same hearing.Hope that helps.
The reason the cat got shot was his anger over the tractor and not signing his bogus paper absolving him from any wrong doing and me admitting I did something that I didn't.
That sounds great, hearing them both together.
Thanks for your time and advice.
Carol,Glad to help and please get some rest. Just please keep in mind that what I provide is not 'advice' but information. Should you have any other questions for me later, I would be happy to assist you again. Take care!
I don't know if I can write you on this "reply to expert" window, but it was here, so I am writing.
Same story. As I know this vile person killed my cat, I was looking for my cat's body around his property. I did not set foot on his property as I know he wouldn't leave a dead cat lying around, but I did feel that he may have thrown my baby over a fence on either side of his property. As I was looking he came running out of the back of his house with a gun and a flashlight telling me I was trespassing. I sure don't know how he could see anything out his back window. It's pitch black, no illumination whatsoever. I wouldn't go on his property even if I wasn't told to. It's a junkyard and in the dark? Flashlight or not. As I was walking along the his neighbor's property and his property I saw my tractor which was no surprise, but I saw a sign pasted on it that I wasn't sure I had seen before. It said "for sale by owner" with his phone number. I took a picture of it. I don't need to be on his property to do that as I have a zoom lens on my camera. I figure the camera flash is what he saw. He came out when I was walking away. I then get a trespass citation for $340.50. How can I fight this?
A few days later, I had to drive past his house to get to a public place, again in the dark. Place was closed. On my way back, he's standing in the middle of this dark road shining a flood light at me. I would have floored it by whoever was shining this light, but I recognized it was him when I got closer. Police will not take a report. Same trooper that would not take a report that this guy killed my cat called me back 5 hours after I called the station to ask why I called twice. Once to ask about reporting it and the 2nd time to see if they would report it. I would have expected a trooper to ask me about a person standing in the middle of the road shining a brilliant light at me when driving. Asked if anyone saw this. I don't know. Did anyone see me trespass?
What can I do about this citation?
I was on his neighbor's property with a zoom lens, magnifies 12x.

Abdominal binders from Macys or?
- It's been long Enough
- Last updated: 1 year ago
I am only 8 days post op but am looking forward to going out without the bulky abdominal binder on a few occasions. I know some people wear their bulky one for a while. I will at home. but going to church or to dinner I would rather not. So has anyone looked at the maternity wraps? Well its a post maturnal belly wrap? It looks like an abdominal binder (sort of) but not as bulky. Just wondering would like something in a few weeks ! I need the compression and FIRM support but want something thinner basicly. By the way I had NO LIPO so not concerned about any area other than tummy.

Printing prior returns completed with turbotax

I need to print a copy of my 2011 return that I completed in turbotax in April of 2012 but seem to be having a problem. The only message I get when I try is "there seems to be a problem, try later." I've been traying for 2 weeks now and continue to receive the same message. What am I doing wrong?

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson will reportedly be attending the Cannes International Film Festival together.
The pair have tried to keep their relationship under wraps since reports they started dating after meeting on the set of Twilight. However, it seems they will be stepping out in public together for the French festival in May.
The two will be showing support for each other's latest films, including Robert's Cosmopolis, sources told E! Online.
Kristen is also reportedly planning to bring her mom Jules Mann-Stewart along, for the premiere of her new movie On the Road.
The actress is set to raise eyebrows playing the role of Marylou as she appears topless in one scene of the adventure film.
The news comes after it was announced that Robert and Kristen are reshooting scenes for the final instalment of the Twilight franchise.
The couple, who play Edward and Bella Cullen in the vampire franchise, will be returning to the Canadian set to film ''technical'' scenes.
However, director Bill Condon has insisted there will be no new scenes or dialogue.
''A film is a lot like a puzzle, with each piece - each shot, no matter how brief - needing to fit exactly with the ones around it," he wrote on Facebook.
''We're not shooting any new scenes or dialogue, just some technical work with some of our cast and stunt actors.
''I am really looking forward to being back on set with some of the friends I've made on my Twilight journey... And yes, Rob and Kristen will be there too, to pop in those gold contacts one last time.''
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 is scheduled to be released worldwide in November.

i want to put in a combo bath fan/light. i like to have the lights dimmable in the bathroom. i am looking at the Hunter lights. so a light that uses CF is out because i want to be able to dim them. the issue is that i only have space for one switch module. i can run wiring no problem. the only switches i have seen that include a dimmer AND fan control are for ceiling fans. i am told that the speed control could damage the motor of an exhaust fan.
i dont need to control the speed of the exhaust fan. ideally i want a one-switch-module sized switch that includes: light dimmer, fan on/off and delay.
know of any?
a regular electronic one will do it as i see. just go to any home customizing shop and tell them, they should have one. but of course, the speed will be there, just ignore it if you don't like.
I found something similar to what you're describing at a GTA area Rona so check there first. They should have the kind of switch you're looking for or at least be able to order it in.
I know of a product that may do what you want.
heres the web link for you to check it out. they also have other configurations as well. just check through what they carry.
You can also try an Electrical supply house like OSSO Electric. Tell them your issues and they should be able to suggest a solution.

So I decided to go in a slightly different direction with the blog theme this week. I didn't want to go with the traditional top ten games/movies/books/etc., so I looked around my room and was inspired by my blade collection, which I haven't posted about in a long time...mostly because I need to get another one at some point. :p It definitely wasn't easy putting them in order, aside from the top three.
This is a nice little novelty dagger that I got from someone on IGN a long time ago. For one thing, who doesn't like dragons? And who wouldn't want to be able to whip off the tail to reveal a blade?
I got this one for Christmas one year and it took me by surprise. I had never even thought about a blade such as this. It may be a little big for my tiny hands, but it's still quite cool.
This one might not be anything special in general, but it's a nice small knife with a relatively sharp blade, and I really like the handle of it.
I don't know what the hell you would even call this, but it's cool as hell as far as I'm concerned.
This is a replica of the sword from the Blade movies. I consider it to be the only legitimate sword that I have. I do have a few others, but this is of a higher quality while the others were bought more for show and because I thought it was a good idea at the time. :p
This one is probably self explanatory. If you're into blades, why wouldn't you want one that looks like Wolverine's claws?
This may not be practical, but I love the design and it's sharp as fuck. That's a positive in my book when it comes to blades! So while it's more for design than actual usage, you sure as hell wouldn't want to be stabbed by it.
This is heavy, sharp, and overall just damn cool. It's pretty much between a knife and a sword, which I like a lot. I'm actually not sure what it would technically be categorized as. I'm just glad I got it.
For anyone into knives, you'll probably recognize these as KA-BARs. One of them I got from a marine I know on the boards, and the other was from a past MyIGN user. They're badass blades that can definitely be used if need be.
This is my favorite for a couple of different reasons. It happens to be a legitimate knife that you can use for hunting (even though I don't hunt...), which means it's good quality and it's sharp. And it also happens to be the knife I wanted for years thanks to it being the knife of choice for the Scream movies. It's so pretty...

Governor Christie: I signed an Executive Order yesterday asking that the flags today be at half-staff for the people who are the victims in Oklahoma. What I'd say to the people of Oklahoma is, you know, be strong and have faith. It's not going to be easy. It's difficult, and for people who have lost their homes completely, it's devastating. And, listen two wrongs don't make a right, Angie, and I would urge all of the members of the Congressional delegation in New Jersey to support swift and immediate aid in whatever amount is deemed necessary for the people of Oklahoma. This is not a time for political retribution. What this is, is to bring our country together. As I said back in December and January, you know, at times of natural disaster, Americans stand up for Americans. And so my view is I would urge all the members of the delegation, Republican and Democrat, to get behind whatever aid package the President believes is necessary to be able to help the people of Oklahoma as quickly as possible . Governor Fallin and I have communicated frequently over the last 48 hours. I offered to send National Guard to Oklahoma. She told me at this point she didn't need it, that she felt like she was okay in terms of the resources they had. But I told her to reach out to me any time she needs advice or help. Mary and I are friends. We serve on the Executive Committee of the National Governor's Association together. She's our Vice Chairman this year and so I've offered all help that I can give, physical help in sending resources from New Jersey and advice and counsel that I picked up from Sandy. I haven't spoken to anybody. I spent enough time in the lobbying game during Sandy. If Mary were to call me and ask me to talk to people, I'd be happy to do it but I think, you know, I need to leave Mary in charge of how she wants to determine how the interaction from Oklahoma should be to the House and the Senate. I'll have Mary control that. She's a very competent, good Governor. If she needs my help, I will certainly be there to talk to anybody she wants me to talk to but at this point she hasn't asked for that help and I won't do it unless she does ask.
