Painful intercourse can occur for a variety of reasons — ranging from structural problems to psychological concerns. Many women experience painful intercourse at some point in their lives.
The medical term for painful intercourse is dyspareunia (dis-puh-ROO-ne-uh) — which is defined as persistent or recurrent genital pain that occurs just before, during or after intercourse. Talk to your doctor if you're experiencing painful intercourse. Treatments focus on the underlying cause, and can help eliminate or reduce this common problem.
If you experience painful intercourse, you may feel:
When to see a doctor
If you are experiencing painful intercourse, talk to your doctor. Treating the problem can help your sex life, your emotional intimacy and your self-image.
Physical causes of painful intercourse tend to differ, depending on whether the pain occurs at entry or with deep thrusting. Emotional factors can be associated with many types of painful intercourse.
Entry pain
Pain during penetration may be associated with a range of factors, including:
Deep pain
Deep pain usually occurs with deep penetration and may be more pronounced with certain positions. Causes include:
Emotional factors
Emotions are deeply intertwined with sexual activity and may play a role in any type of sexual pain. Emotional factors include:
Sometimes, it can be difficult to tell whether psychological factors are associated with dyspareunia. Initial pain can lead to fear of recurring pain, making it difficult to relax, which can lead to more pain. As with any pain in your body, you might start avoiding the activities that you associate with the pain.
If you have recurrent pain during sex, talking to your doctor is the first step in resolving it. Primary care doctors and gynecologists often ask about sex and intimacy as part of a routine medical visit, and you can take this opportunity to discuss your concerns. Your regular doctor may diagnose and treat the problem or refer you to a specialist who can.
What you can do
To prepare for this discussion with your doctor:
Some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Questions your doctor may ask
Your doctor will ask questions about the symptoms you're experiencing and assess your hormonal status. Questions your doctor may ask include:
A medical evaluation for dyspareunia usually consists of:
Treatment options will vary, depending on the underlying cause of the pain.
If an infection or medical condition is contributing to your pain, treating the underlying cause may resolve your problem. Changing medications known to cause lubrication problems also may eliminate your symptoms. For most postmenopausal women, dyspareunia is caused by inadequate lubrication resulting from low estrogen levels. Often, this can be treated with a prescription cream, tablet or flexible ring that releases very small amounts of estrogen directly to your vagina.
Different types of therapy also may be helpful, including:
You and your partner may be able to minimize pain with a few changes to your sexual routine:
Until vaginal penetration becomes less painful and bothersome, you and your partner might find other options to be more comfortable, more fulfilling and more fun than your regular routine. Sensual massage, kissing and mutual masturbation can all be good alternatives to intercourse.

The world's best athletes take center stage in London
Every four years, the world's greatest athletes convene to test their skills and abilities against each other. Like past events, the 2012 summer games in London (July 27-Aug. 12), are filled with dramatic victories, record-setting performances and heart-wrenching defeats.
Whether you prefer team sports with world-renowned athletes like basketball and soccer, or individual pursuits like track, fencing or wrestling, the event offers something for every sports enthusiast.
Major events
Men's and women's soccer, with its far-reaching global appeal, is one of the highlights, with six venues across England, Scotland and Wales.
In the men's draw, the groups are as follows:
Group A: Great Britain, Senegal, United Arab Emirates and Uruguay;
Group B: Mexico, South Korea, Gabon and Switzerland;
Group C: Brazil, Egypt, Belarus and New Zealand; and
Group D: Spain, Japan, Honduras and Morocco.
In the women's draw, the U.S. team, which took the gold in 2008, will compete in Group G with France, Colombia and Korea DPR.
Basketball is another high-profile sport. The U.S. men's team is slated to compete in Group A, which features top teams like Argentina and France. The U.S. women's team is in Group A with Angola, China and three other teams.
Star power
The London games will also feature significant star power. Among those to watch are Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, a three-time Olympic gold medalist and world record holder; swimmer Michael Phelps, who has won 16 Olympic medals; and hurdler Lolo Jones, a three-time NCAA title winner.
The spotlight will also shine brightly on the U.S. men's basketball team featuring NBA superstars like Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Blake Griffin and Chris Paul. Top stars on the women's basketball team are Maya Moore, Sue Bird, Candace Parker and Diana Taurasi.
Victory celebrations
Hugely popular are the victory ceremonies, which take place shortly after the conclusion of a medal event.
Celebrating the achievements of the medal-winning athletes, these ceremonies are always emotional and dramatic as the national anthem of the winner is played and the flags of all three medal winners are raised.
Students from the Royal College of Art in London created the innovative royal purple podiums, and the flower bouquets were fashioned by Jane Packer, an internationally renowned U.K. florist.
Viewing options
NBC owns the broadcast rights for the London games. Viewers should check local listings to confirm broadcast times for events. There will be more than 5,500 hours of coverage, which is nearly 2,000 hours more than NBC's combined coverage of the 2008 Games in Beijing.
Among those hosting and emceeing NBC's coverage are Bob Costas, Ryan Seacrest and Dan Patrick.
For those on the go, NBC is providing live streaming video coverage of the online (www.nbcolympics.com) and in their mobile/tablet apps. All 32 sports and 302 events will be featured in live coverage.
If you can't attend, rest assured, you can see the London games easily on your television, computer or mobile phone.

One of the biggest outdoor news stories of last year was the drought and a disease called EHD (epizootic hemorrhagic disease) that greatly impacted deer and it impacted the harvest numbers from the past deer season. Those total figures from Kit Hams, Big Game Program manager:
Big Game Program manager Kit Hams said, "We harvested about 9,000 mule deer and about 50,000 whitetail deer, total harvest at 60,000, and that's a lot of deer. But it was a lot less than were being harvested the last few years -- down about 25,000 from where we had been."
Deer were the cause of a lot of crop depredation complaints by some landowners, so in a sense the tragedy that afflicted deer had an upside.
Hams said, "We'd been issuing 120,000 bonus antlerless tags on top of 140,000 permits, and hunters were actually tired of shooting antlerless deer. They wouldn't shoot enough anymore for whatever reason, too many in the freezer already, whatever, but yeah this helped us out. We needed it.
In time, those deer herd numbers will rebound but in the short term, deer permit numbers will be down.
"This fall there will be primarily a lot less antlerless permits," said Hams, "upwards of 82,000 to 85.000 less bonus antlerless tags."
"They'll come off most of the statewide permits and many of the November
firearm permits -- they'll be taken off those too -- but there will still be well
over 100,000 permits available for hunters so there will be a lot of
opportunity just like there has always been," added Hams.

The NBA gap between the haves and the have-nots is widening. That's why the owners are now quarreling among themselves over how much money the richest markets should be sharing with the less rich, and why the "less attractive" franchises want the next collective bargaining agreement to provide them with a better opportunity to hold on to talents like LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Deron Williams.

An intruder redefined "clean getaway" when he broke into a home and the owners walked in. CNN's Jeanne Moos explains.
Seattle Sounders fans already scored a sweet little victory in the MLS rivalry about to ignite in the Pacific Northwest. Their club already made life tougher than it needed to be on the debuting teams in 2011 -- the very sides that are already Seattle's chief rivals.
Preseason started early this year around MLS, a reflection of season openers moving forward about two weeks. So most teams are into their preseason routines now, with trips ahead to Florida, Arizona or other places where the weather is more suited to soccer and less to Winter X Games.

Portland, Ore. is the city of a thousand nicknames. "Stumptown," perhaps its oldest, harkens back to the region's logging roots. "Beervana," a nod to the city's renowned craft brew scene, is another favorite. Rumor has it, violent protests prompted George H. W. Bush's staff to christen the city "Little Beirut." But if Henry Merritt Paulson III has his way, "Soccer City USA," may become Portland's next big moniker.

The Phoenix Suns advanced to the second round of the playoffs by defeating the Portland Trail Blazers at the Rose Garden 99-90 on Thursday.

The Phoenix Suns maintained home-court advantage by swarming the Portland Trail Blazers in a 107-88 victory at USAirways Arena Monday night. The Suns now hold a 3-2 lead in this best-of-seven series and can close it out when the teams play in Portland on Thursday night.
Home court has indeed been an advantage early in the playoffs, with the host team posting a 23-7 record through Sunday. Even when the games moved to the court of the lower-seeded clubs, the home teams were 10-4.
Behind 42 points from Jason Richardson, the Suns came into the Rose Garden on Thursday and quieted a horde of red-clad hipsters, jumping on the Blazers early and holding on to win 108-89 to take a 2-1 series lead and regain home-court advantage.
It's seems a little weird to say, but as goes Andre Miller, so go the Blazers. After leaning on Brandon Roy and a deep roster the last few years, it is now Miller -- pass-first point guard, career second lieutenant, enemy of the highlight-compiler -- who will likely determine Portland's fate.
So like we were saying ... the top seeds are doing just fine, thank you.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- The Portland Trail Blazers are picking up needed help on the interior, acquiring Marcus Camby from the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for guard Steve Blake and forward Travis Outlaw.

By the end of the program, students will have an appreciation for and know how they can protect Indiana's remaining native resources.
Properties of Matter* (6th Grade)
Taking place in the Museum's Science Demonstration area in the Welborn Baptist Foundation Family Place, this program introduces students to the different properties of matter. By combining the concepts of molecules and energy with exciting science demonstrations, students will leave knowing that matter matters!
Art History of Ancient Civilizations* (Grades 5-7)
Students will explore the Museum's Humankind and Crescent Galleries to discover art from ancient civilizations. They will think critically about the relationship between a work of art and the history, geography, and technology of a culture. This program will introduce students to art from ancient Egypt, Japan, China, Rome, the Aztec Empire, and many others.
Art Appreciation and Criticism* (Grades 6-12)
Students will have the opportunity to explore the Museum's art galleries like never before. This program will allow students to think critically about the art presented to them and to make constructive comments based on what they know about art and their preferences. Also included in the program will be an active discussion of the roles art and museums play in society, art related career paths, and future opportunities for students to engage in art.
Forces of Science* (Grades 7-8)
Energy, gravity, waves, oh my! This program, which takes place in the Science Demonstration area in the Welborn Baptist Foundation Family Place, introduces students to these essential science concepts through exciting demonstrations.

DALLAS – More than 2,000 flight attendants have opted to leave American Airlines, meaning the company won't have to furlough or fire any others as it continues to recover from bankruptcy.
American Airlines spokesman Bruce Hicks said 2,205 flight attendants took the company's 'Early Out' incentive, which offered $40,000 to anyone who voluntarily left the company. The buyout option was a major benefit the Association of Professional Flight Attendants fought for during recent contract negotiations with American.
Hicks said the company would stagger the departures "based on seniority and operational needs" and will hire more flight attendants before the end of the year.
"Providing this voluntary Early Out incentive for our flight attendants is another positive step forward in our restructuring," Hicks said in the prepared statement.
The announcement is a bright spot during a tough week for the airline. Yesterday, it had to apologize for an increase in flight delays and cancellations.
American blamed the pilots, saying a higher-than-normal percentage is calling in sick and discovering what News 8 reporter Byron Harris called an "inordinate number of maintenance issues."
On Friday, American said 32 flights were canceled at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Systemwide, there were 90 cancellations. Some travelers were concerned about rumors that pilots were planning a protest that would disrupt flights.
"Everybody has something to do, have work, have personal commitments and they canceled it. I depend on these guys. You already paid, you know?," said Francisco Castillo, who was flying to Cancun. The airline's 8:50 a.m. flight was canceled Friday.
American Airlines said Thursday that there was evidence members of the Allied Pilots Association were participating in a slowdown.
As Harris reported on Thursday, the pilots union has denied that an organized protest exists.
Below is a portion of Harris' report on the slowdown:
The Allied Pilots Association said the number of pilots calling in sick is no higher than for the same period last year, although statistics released by the union do not appear to verify that claim.
On the union hotline, pilots are being told, "On Friday, just show up and do your job."
Pilots can slow down or paralyze an airline in several ways, by slowing taxi speeds on runways or being extremely conservative in calling for repairs.
Aviation writer Terry Maxon of The Dallas Morning News said the current situation is definitely an intentional slowdown, otherwise known as a job action. Maxon said what's happening now is similar to slowdowns the union took in 1991 and 1999.
"Like this action, the union never admitted supporting the slowdown or condoning the action," Maxon said.
To cope with the situation, American is shrinking its schedule by two percent in October, thereby expanding the number of pilots available to cover sick outs.
"To our customers, we are sincerely sorry for the disruptions they've been feeling," said American spokesman Bruce Hicks. "We know [our customers] don't like it. We know they're irritated."
Planned or not, this is an issue that has customers caught in the middle.
"It's pretty frustrating," said traveler Chris Cochran. "I don't think we'll look at American anymore."
Still, there are some on the outside looking in who believe there's a message to be heard on both sides.
"It might inconvenience a few people, but ultimately it's these folks' liveliehood and it's how they support their families," said Melanie Buckley. "We need to hear what they have to say."

CATS wins $18,000 grant
WILLSBORO — Champlain Area Trails (CATS) recently received a "transactional grant" from the State Conservation Partnership Program to put toward conserving the 319-acre DeNeale property in Willsboro.
"The $18,000 grant will cover the costs associated with negotiation and receiving the gift of a conservation easement that keeps the land in agriculture, preserves the forest and protects clean water," a press release said.
The easement also provides land for hiking/skiing trail through the forest, part of a trail CATS envisions that will link Willsboro and Essex.
"We are so pleased to receive this grant," said Chris Maron, CATS executive director.
"The state's conservation partnership program is a great support for land trusts who work with property owners, like Dick and Leanna DeNeale, who want to conserve their family's land."
A conservation easement is a legal agreement that promotes sustainable farming and forestry practices, protects water quality and restricts specified land uses, like haphazard residential development.
Landowners who donate easements may qualify for income-tax deductions and property-tax benefits.
"This grant is a wonderful reward to CATS for the time and expense it has taken to deal with the unique complications involved in conserving our farm," Mrs. DeNeale said in the release.
"Years ago, when we bought this property, I wanted to be sure it stayed open and available for farming and not turn into a housing development. CATS helped us fulfill our dream, the grant helps cover their costs, and the trail will allow the public to enjoy our wonderful woods."
The CATS funding is among 75 grants totaling $1.4 million that were awarded to 57 different land trusts around the state.
"These grants help conserve private lands and will result in significant environmental and economic benefits for our communities," said Joe Martens, commissioner of the State Department of Environmental Conservation.
The nonprofit Champlain Area Trails exists to develop hiking/skiing trails that connect Champlain Valley communities, as well as people to nature. And its mission is also to promote economic vitality and protect habitat and scenic vistas.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Another pension plan has been advanced, just two days before the Illinois General Assembly is due back in Springfield to deal with pension reform.
The proposal comes from the Illinois Policy Institute and Republican members of the House and Senate.
Their plan, unveiled Monday, moves current and future government workers into a 401(k)-style system.
The plan's backers say employees would get a 7 percent state contribution match if the employees put in 8 percent of their paycheck.
"It gives a generous 7 percent employee match for every paycheck, every day, not a promise to be kept later. A promise kept now," said John Tillman of the Illinois Policy Institute. "This reform is generous and would not force a movement into social security elgibility."
Tillman says their proposal is constitutional and would immediately cut Illinois' $100 billion unfunded pension liability by half.

This is what you might call a non-specific warning. In other words, there's no specific target/airline or time frame. But, Department of Homeland Security officials are talking, specifically, about shoe bombs. They're also saying, on a scale of 1 to 10, this alert is a level 5 or moderate threat.
But, security expert Aaron Cohen says, regardless of the level, a "shoe-bomb" alert is significant. In this case, DHS has warned airlines to pay extra attention to shoes on feet and shoes in bags especially from people coming on International flights into U-S airports. Cohen says shoe bomb explosives are significant because they are small. "We are talking about something the size of a half of a roll of quarters," he says.
And, they can be undetectable. Says Cohen, "It's something that could easily get by security because it's something that everybody wears (Hal: there's no buzzers that go off when a shoe bomb comes thru?) there wouldn't be if it were prepared correctly."
Cohen says this will mean more scrutiny at screening stations. Not just for shoes, but swab testing. "They're going be swabbing for plastique-like explosives like semtex or residue on shoes or someone's hands."
Cohen takes this latest warning as a sign of getting better at hearing chatter and acting on possible threats. Says the security expert from IMS Security in Beverly Hills, "I think we're getting better at terrorism, or counter terrorism, and I think when that information gets picked up in the field it gets up by a myriad of agencies that begin to decipher it."
From there, if it does seem credible bulletins are issued like this latest one.

Human trafficking touches physical, spiritual lives
February 25, 2013
"Freedom Matters," the theme for Bryan's 2013 conference on human trafficking, touches both the spiritual and physical/social aspects of modern-day slavery, conference speakers told members of the college family Monday through Wednesday, February 18-20.
|Katherine Chon talks with Dayton Police Chief Chris Sneed, center, and investigator Darrell Bell during her visit to Bryan.
Dr. Turner elaborated on the biblical foundation for the concept of "social justice." "'Justice and righteousness' are used 52 times in the Old Testament," he said. "Those uses are focused on protecting the most vulnerable in society. We err if we don't see that social justice is critical to the work of the church." Victims of human trafficking fit the category of the most vulnerable, he added.
Even in the face of the evil of human trafficking, "The one thing Christianity can offer that this world cannot is that there is hope and redemption for perpetrators as well as victims of human trafficking," he said.
Ms. Chon said she was struck by the conference title, "Freedom Matters." "Most of us take that for granted in our day-to-day lives, she said. "For victims of trafficking it's not that freedom matters, but that family matters, that love matters." The desire to provide for family or to find love and meaning often are the very things which enable traffickers to ensnare their victims.
"Traffickers use the natural desire to belong. We can use the same thing to help victims of trafficking. 'Freedom Matters' is intellectually tied to love and compassion. That is the core of what can lead to healing victims."
She encouraged students to continue learning to better confront the problem, and to promote use of the national trafficking hotline – 888.373.7888 – to report suspicions of trafficking.

Backpacker Magazine – August 2008
Scramble up class III peaks and cross late summer snowfields on this strenuous but straightforward trip through Montana's big-mountain country.
The Trip
Crown of the continent
Thread high peaks on this challenging thru-hike from Two Medicine Lake to Lake MacDonald.
Three out of five BACKPACKER editors prefer Glacier's quiet, spectacular southern half to its busier, though marginally more dramatic, northern environs. This 62-mile route traces ridgetops the Blackfoot Indians revered as "the backbone of the world," along Dawson, Triple Divide, and Gunsight Passes to Sperry Glacier and Lake MacDonald. The route passes thundering waterfalls, glaciers, and the shores of some of the park's largest lakes. But you'd best arrive in shape for big-mileage days.
From tranquil Two Medicine Campground, stroll to the outlet bridge of Two Medicine Lake. Hike west on the Dawson Pass Trail to Dawson Pass (mile 6.2), then north along high ridgelines, where you'll find smooth trail above yawning Nyack Creek and views west to the gigantic banded limestone pyramids of Mt. Stimson and Pinchot Peak. Round the shattered horn of Flinsch Peak, and continue across a narrow spur of Mt. Morgan. (Caution: The track crosses gullies that can retain hard ice well into summer.) From there, it's an easy mile over 7,874-foot Cutbank Pass, then 7,664-foot Pitamakin Pass. Your day ends at Morning Star Lake, which sits between 2,000-foot cliffs and a broad spruce-filled basin at mile 13.6.
Day two's 13-plus miles lead deep into grizzly country. From Morning Star Lake, continue north on the Cutbank Pass Trail under the lopsided pyramid of 8,315-foot Medicine Grizzly Peak to an intersection with the Triple Divide Pass Trail. Turn left and climb up the open, U-shaped valley of Atlantic Creek to Triple Divide Pass, a broad saddle beneath sweeping sedimentary cliffs. Watch for bighorn sheep as you drop through a dense thicket of fern and beargrass to camp at Red Eagle Lake (mile 27.4). Three miles beyond Red Eagle, the forested trail spits you onto the shore of St. Mary Lake. Turn west and pass beneath small trailside cataracts pouring off Red Eagle Mountain, great for soaking swollen feet. Beyond the lake, cross the St. Mary River (with two campsites available at Reynolds Creek, mile 42.6).
In the morning, hammer 2.7 miles up steep trail cut through cliff outcroppings to Gunsight Pass. The route ahead goes through an area with high user demand and only two small campsites. If you've scored a camping permit, drop to nearby Lake Ellen Wilson; alternatively, continue over Lincoln Pass and into Glacier Basin and basecamp next to Sprague Creek.
On day five, tackle the 2.5-mile, 1,600-foot climb past Akaiyan Falls and Feather Woman Lake, and up the stone stairs of Comeau Pass to the Sperry Glacier Overlook, with its stunning rock and ice panorama. Have some mountaineering experience? Increase the challenge on day six with an attempt on the craggy, exposed class II-III East Ridge of 9,072-foot Edwards Mountain, which begins just west of Gem Lake at Comeau Pass.
Your final day includes a 6.7-mile plunge down to Lake MacDonald. From here, walk west along the road to Sprague Creek Campground ($20, first come, first served). A free hiker shuttle operates along Going-to-the-Sun Road, but you'll need a commercial shuttle (406-892-2525; glacierparkinc.com) to Two Medicine Campground.
>> Plan B: Lake isabel from walton ranger station Permits for your desired itineraries all taken? Try the four-day out-and-back along quiet Park Creek to Lake Isabel. The 16.9-mile approach up Park Creek Trail heads to a tight alpine cirque, where the spruce-ringed pool is surrounded by the stunning cliffs of Vigil Peak (8,593 feet) and Battlement Mountain (8,830 feet). It's a gentle 7.2 miles from Walton to Lower Park Creek campsite, great for late starters. Day two is mostly flat walking to a knee-deep ford near the patrol cabin at mile 14.6. Then the trail climbs gradually northwest to the lake. On day three either descend back down Park Creek or, if you've set up a shuttle, turn east at Upper Park Creek campsite, climb 3.8 miles to Two Medicine Pass, and descend to camp at Cobalt Lake, exiting via a 9.8-mile gradual downhill to Two Medicine Campground.
Gunsight Pass, August 24-26, 2011: We were lucky enough walk in to the backcountry office and get a trail permit for this hike in spite of the massive avalanche on Fullisade Mtn that had wiped out part of the trail. We had the recommended ice axe and crampons and were glad we did - this late in the season, a steep snowfield between Gunsight Lake and the pass was almost as hard as ice, and might well have been the last glissade you ever took if you couldn�t self-arrest. No matter when you go, monitor the trail conditions before you go, talk to the rangers, and be prepared. Oh yeah � it was spectacular, and we had almost the entire trip to ourselves!
Just back from Glacier 7/23/11- many higher trails and backcountry camps still closed due to snow so forcing lots of hikers to camp at lower level sites. Get your permits early and be flexible. Hiked and camped at Kintla Lake and Upper Kintla Lake - beautiful. Snowed in the mountains above us one night. Saw black bear on the trail and at camp. Beautiful flowers.
Going to Sun Road opened LATEST ever last week July 12. Did Loop Trail to Granite Chalet (all up hill.) Last mile over snow. Coming down saw 3 Griz on ridge to east. Great flowers. Saw several deer close up.
Did the Pegan Pass Trail part way (four hours in) and it was over snow (July 14)about 95% of the way. Most snow ever seen at Glacier. Saw goats and two rams west of creek just starting out.
Did short Apikuni Falls hike and it was worth it. Don't let mile+ up fool you. Up hill. Lots of snow around falls. Be sure and safely climb on and see pool at base of falls.
Did hike at Bowman Lake area. Nice ride up to this NW area but hike was not worth it.
As of July 15 rangers said Highline Trail likely would NOT be open this summer at all. Too much snow.
Swiftcurrent Trail was nice, but just too many folks first couple miles. Great views and flowers and even snow for last snowcone before heading back to Georgia.
Avoid Avalanche Lake Trail unless you head out EARLY. Every body and his brother hikes that trail mid morning on.
In fact suggest early start on all trails in Glacier. Great cabins to stay at in Coram just on Highway 2 7 miles from park (west side). Peaceful Escapes by a store. $80 a night and brand new with kitchenettes even. Eat nearby at Glacier Grill. Great food and service.
I was there on the CDT project last summer and can't wait to return. The mountains at sunset are too beautiful to describe.

Fellowship program gives undergraduate researchers an academic boost
It's not every day a third-year undergraduate student is invited to deliver a joint paper with her professor at a well-regarded academic conference in Edmonton. However, thanks to the Undergraduate Summer Student Research Fellowship (USSRF) program, that's exactly what happened to Angela Du.
The English student recently presented at the annual conference of the Canadian Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies along with her supervisor, Dr. Shelley King. Ms. Du had spent the summer examining manuscripts by Amelia Opie, an 18th Century novelist and poet, which are held in the Berg Collection of the New York Public Library.
Ms. Du was one of 21 students who took part in the 2012 program. She says it allowed her to delve into doing scholarly research at a more advanced level. "It's really helped me to start to develop an academic identity and has allowed me to meet a lot of experts in my field," she says. "I would recommend this program to anyone."
Working together with Dr. King and Dr. John B. Pierce, Ms. Du (who is doing a minor in French) was primarily involved in transcribing and translating one of Opie's travelogue manuscripts which had been written in French. She was then able to compare it with the final text, which has been published in English.
The USSRF program is specifically oriented at providing students in the social sciences, humanities, fine arts and education with opportunities to engage in discovery-based learning, while developing research and presentation skills. Students are paid for their work during the 16-week fellowships. The 2012 program saw two students pursue their research at the Bader International Study Centre (BISC) at Herstmonceux Castle in England.
For Ms. Du, the experience she gleaned over the course of her fellowship has cemented her desire to pursue graduate work. She also plans to continue her research on Amelia Opie's writing.
All 21 Fellows will be taking part in a poster presentation of their research on Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2012 at 3:00pm in Speaker's Corner, Stauffer Library. Principal Daniel Woolf and Vice-Principal (Research) Steven Liss will make opening remarks.

Why they bother to announce this, we're not quite clear, but whatever: Hawaii is bowl-eligible, and therefore playing in the 2010 Sheraton Hawaii Bowl on Christmas Eve. At 9-3, the Warriors might have snagged a higher-paying postseason date, but they get a home game and a home crowd and a pretty good opponent (Tulsa is expected to receive the second invitation). Look for a nice home win, as well -- excepting an utter collapse against Boise State to kick off November, the Warriors haven't lost since Week 3 in a road trip to Colorado.
(A quick reader poll, though: We're informed by a Honolulu-based newspaperman that when Hawaiians want to get away, they go to Vegas. Warrior fans, if you're out there, let us know whether you would have preferred that bowl.)
Bowl selections will continue to roll in throughout the week, and we'll be following them all right here. Stay tuned to this StoryStream right on through the selection show this Sunday night.

NFL.com's Jason La Confora has posted on his twitter page that the Detroit Lions are shopping the second overall pick in the draft. For Detroit it makes sense because one of their biggest needs is a left tackle to protect quarterback Matthew Stafford. Trading down could allow the Lions to get extra picks and still land a tackle like Oklahoma State's Russell Okung, Iowa's Bryan Bulaga, Rutger's Anthony Davis, or Maryland's Bruce Campbell. The Lions have passed on some good left tackles in recent drafts prior to picking Stafford (Cleveland's Joe Thomas and Atlanta's Sam Baker). A full story is coming from La Confora on NFL.com.

Authorities are still investigating, but some locals from Le Center are saying that alcohol may have been a factor.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book would be good for teaching character traits because of the way she pretends to be someone else There is so many things to talk about and traits to introduce to the students.
I loved this book so much as a child! Kids complain about their teachers until they get a substitute!
I really enjoyed this book and it is one of my favorites from when I was a child. I liked this book, because the ending has a very interesting twist that makes the story more engaging. In the end evil Miss Swamp was really sweet Miss Nelson disguising herself in order to get the children to behave. I also like this book because the illustrations helped to portray the differences in the "two" teachers. The pictures of Miss Swamp depicted her as mean and ugly with dark clothing, while Miss Nelson was depicted as sweet and nice with bright clothing.
The overall message of this book was to not take anything for granted, because the students took Miss Nelson for granted, but when she disappeared they missed her greatly.
I like this story because of the plot. I think the plot of this story adds suspense for the reader. For example, when Miss Nelson does not show up for class but Miss Viola Swamp does, the students are all worried and curious to find out where Miss Nelson went. I think this aspect of the plot draws the reader in and encourages them to participate in the "search" for Miss Nelson. I think the plot also presents a good message. I think the central message of the story is respect. The students in Miss Nelson's classroom do not respect her. They goof off, don't listen during story time, and are constantly making spitballs and paper airplanes. When Miss Viola Swamp is their teacher for a few days and she is mean and strict, the students' attitudes change, and they miss Miss Nelson. I think the book demonstrates to students the importance of being respectful. I think it can be used as a book to read to students in the beginning of the year. The students can point out the behavior in Miss Nelson's classroom and use this to develop their own set of rules for their classroom. It can serve as an introduction to creating class rules of your own.
I have vivid memories of my elementary teacher reading this book to my class and we all loved it! I enjoyed reminiscing and reading this book again as a future educator. The first reason that I liked this book is because of the unusual illustrations. The faces of all of the children and adults look strange and are drawn simply with two dots for eyes and a half circle for a mouth. I especially like the depiction of Miss Viola Swamp and her long crooked nose, jutting chin, and facial mole. A quote from The New York Times is featured on the back of the book that sums my thoughts up perfectly: "If all teachers looked as goofy as Mr. Marshall makes these two, the earth would never again have a truancy problem." The second reason I liked this book is because of the mysterious plot. Miss Nelson class has been frequently misbehaving, so another teacher named Miss Viola Swamp enters the classroom and whips the students into shape. The students begin to miss Miss Nelson, and when she finally comes back, they behave perfectly for her. The second to last page shows Miss Nelson's closet with a black dress and a wig box, and the reader has to infer whether or not Miss Nelson was actually Miss Viola Swamp. It causes the reader to use context clues and illustration clues to make their own ending. I remember being so torn up about whether Miss Nelson would really do that to her students or if the black dress was just a coincidence. The main idea of this story is that when you take advantage of someone, it will come back to hurt you, so treat others as you would like to be treated.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0395401461, Paperback)
The kids in Room 207 were misbehaving again. Spitballs stuck to the ceiling. Paper planes whizzing through the air. They were the worst-behaved class in the whole school.
So begins this quirky classic, first published in 1977 and still relevant today as a lighthearted reminder to show our appreciation to those we value. The students don't proffer a shred of respect for their good-natured teacher Miss Nelson, but when the witchy substitute Miss Viola Swamp appears on the scene, they start to regret their own wicked ways. James Marshall's scritchy, cartoonish full-color ink and wash illustrations are hilarious. A back-to-school perennial!

The kids in Room 207 take advantage of their teacher's good nature until she disappears and they are faced with a vile substitute.

Wheel power
Program helps disabled children ride bikes for the first time
Thirteen-year-old Kemani grinned from ear to ear as he successfully experienced the exhilaration of riding a two-wheel bike for the first time at University of Richmond's Weinstein Center on Aug. 16. His smile was provided courtesy of "Lose The Training Wheels," an event sponsored by the Richmond Hope Foundation that opens up a gateway of opportunities for children with disabilities. The room was filled with joyous parents and volunteers witnessing pivotal childhood moments. Thirty-one children participated in the week-long event, which offered them the freedom and confidence that comes with riding a bike.
"We had been struggling for years to teach him how to ride a bike," said Kemani's mother, Noire. "It's been amazing – he's riding around, feeling confident, excited every day to come and he's come further than I have in years with him in four days.
"What you see now was impossible before. He couldn't get the concept of balance. But the bike itself trains them and lets them know that they have a part in that but allows them to brake themselves. There's no pressure. They see the other children, and it's very motivating. Everyone here is so caring and loving and patient."
Lose the Training Wheels is a non-profit organization that teaches children with disabilities how to ride a conventional two-wheeled bicycle and become independent riders for life. The program travels across the country coordinating camps in different cities and offers 75-minute sessions. Its success is linked to adaptive bicycles,
created by Dr. Richard Klein, that have rollers instead of a back wheel.
When the children first arrive, many have fear and anxiety about riding a bike. But the roller allows them to be successful from the beginning, instilling confidence immediately. As the children get more comfortable and their speed and balance improve, the rollers are changed to more tapered rollers, which require more balance and offer
a little less stability each time.
Most people are familiar with riding a bike, but for those with disabilities it can be a frustrating task that seems nearly impossible. The success rate of Lose the Training Wheels is high: about 90 percent of children that participate in the program master bike riding skills in less than a week. The feeling of achievement helps them gain assurance, independence, social skills and a positive outlook while riding without wheels and experiencing the thrill.
During the week-long event, participants are paired with one or two volunteers – typically teens – who stay with them throughout the program. In a short period of time, a bond is formed and the relationship between the rider and volunteer is a sincere friendship that seems to motivate the kids to do better.
Andrea Patrick, 24, is an employee of Lose the Training Wheels and has been working with the program for three years.
"This is honestly the most amazing thing I have ever been a part of," Patrick said. "We meet people for a week and see their lives change. They learn to ride a bike, they gain confidence, they get to be included with peers and families going on bike rides, increase in their self-esteem, and they're proud of themselves. It's a really neat thing to see the effect on the participants and the families and how proud they are of them. It's neat to see how many people it affects positively."
Richmond Hope Foundation raised the funds to bring Lose the Training Wheels to the Metro Richmond community for the fourth year in a row. RHF's goal is to sponsor children for life-changing physical therapy services that enrich each child's life, while helping their families by providing financial assistance to those in need.
At the beginning of the week, the children bring in their bikes and a tech fits each one to the child. On the last day of the camp, each child "graduates" by riding a bike without training wheels for the first time. A family member accompanies each rider, and each participant receives a medal, a t-shirt and a picture of himself or herself on two wheels.
Cindy Sharp, director of development for RHF, was excited to bring the program back.
"Sometimes there's not much offered to the special needs community in terms of recreation," Sharp said. "But this gives them self-esteem and it transcends to all aspects of their daily life, as well as health issues, cardio, building up muscles and being able to have control themselves. It has been very well received. If you see them on Monday and then on Friday, it's amazing."

'Planes' sequel crashes
'Fire and Rescue' proves too predictable, boring
Planes: Fire and Rescue opens with a dedication to the hero firefighters of the world. It's an admirable notion, and it makes sense, given that this is a film about planes that fight fires.
But here it might be a little out of place, as Planes: Fire and Rescue has a few things on its mind besides supporting the men and women who routinely throw themselves into burning buildings.
Like money. Lots and lots of money – into the 11-figures-and-counting range. In case you weren't aware, 2006's Cars was the biggest moneymaker Disney had in decades – not because of how much green the film printed at the box office, but because a combination of toys, games and snack foods stamped with the Cars seal of approval routinely pulls in tens of billions of dollars per year. > Read more.

The opinions on whether or not the U.S. should strike Syria is top of mind for people in Chicago. Around 100 protesters gathered along a busy street in downtown Evanston, making their point against U.S. intervention quietly and calling for the United States to Wage Peace instead of dropping bombs.
"By faith I am a Mennonite and we're a pacifist group denomination and we really feel there's usually a nonviolent alternative to war so my hope is as human beings we can sit down over ice cream or cookies or something and figure this out," Evanston resident Dan Coyne says.
Many of the people held signs, others lit candles, but they shared a common goal: to stand against any military action. They called for more diplomatic efforts and then congressional approval before any missiles are launched against Syrian targets.
"We have tomahawk missiles, we have a lot of them and you know what? We'll have them next week, we'll have them two weeks from now," protest organizer Marcia Bernsten says.
But some Syrian-Americans believe that without U.S. action, more Syrians will die at the hands of their own government, possibly through the use of chemical weapons.
"Honestly, in this case it is not like Iraq, it is not like Afghanistan," Suzanne Kawamleh believes. "This is a unique situation with limited and targeted strikes like President Obama has set forth could make a very big difference."
Some of the protesters fear that any military action by the United States could result in an escalation of conflict in the Middle East.
"I believe that drones are going to destabilize that country," Shelia Culkin says. "I don't know what's going to happen when we do that what's going to happen to the other countries when they react."

Sheffield may start in outfield Sunday
Manuel indicates slugger could be in right for Marlins finale
CINCINNATI -- The Mets aren't expected to oppose a left-handed starting pitcher in their first two series. Nonetheless, Gary Sheffield may be in the batting order Sunday when the Mets play the final game of their three-game series against the Marlins. Jerry Manuel said as much Wednesday afternoon after he and third-base coach Razor Shines had run Sheffield through his paces in what the manager called a Spring Training outfielding drill.
Manuel had said last week that Sheffield might start against the Marlins, but that a start against the Padres in the first home series was more likely. Manuel doesn't appear to be rushing Sheffield, but he does appear to be intent on not using Ryan Church as often as Church was expected to play before the Mets signed Sheffield. Manuel even used the phrasing "committed to playing him in right" when he discussed Sheffield on Wednesday.
Sheffield was introduced to the 80-swings-in-six-minutes drill before he worked in the outfield. He said he was more winded from the batting drill than from the outfield running. Sheffield says he still doesn't anticipate playing as often as Manuel seems to indicate he will. Last week, general manager Omar Minaya suggested Sheffield could become the Mets' second successive Comeback Player of the Year Award winner -- Fernando Tatis won the honors for 2008 -- and Sheffield was a tad surprised.
Later, Minaya said he didn't expect Sheffield "to play more than 100-120 games." Those words were quite surprising to Church.
Notes: Manuel said he intends to start Alex Cora at second base and have Ramon Castro catch in the getaway game on Thursday afternoon. ... The manager removed Johan Santana from his first start after 99 pitches because Edwin Encarnacion, the ensuing hitter, hits Santana hard. But the pitch count may have had almost as much to do with the decision as the hitter. Manuel said Wednesday he wanted to keep all the starters' pitch counts at less than 100 if possible, particularly Santana's, the first time through the rotation. He noted he hopes to get each starter's count to the 115-120 range eventually. Santana, John Maine, Mike Pelfrey, Oliver Perez and Pedro Martinez combined to make 145 starts last season, and they reached 115 pitches 17 times -- eight times by Santana and four by Perez.

Police are warning residents about recent fraudulent fundraising phone calls portrayed as being connected to Danville police.
Three residents have so far received phone calls asking for donations and with the caller alleging he is with the Police Protective Fund, according to a press release from Danville Director of Public Safety Larry Thomason.
The caller — who asked for a minimum $15 donation — also suggested being associated with the Danville police.
According to Thomason, neither Danville Police nor the Police Benevolent and Protective Association of Illinois Unit 11, also in Danville, is seeking donations or associated with a "Police Protective Fund."
All three reports came as a result of phone calls received by the residents Wednesday evening. The residents — who were not named — did not donate as a result of the phone call.
Police Deputy Director Doug Miller said he has found information that residents in Springfield are receiving similar phone calls claiming to be associated with police.
He said the phone number used to call the three Danville residents on Wednesday was not a local number. Anyone who receives the phone calls should not donate and is asked to contact Danville police.
Also on Thursday, Danville police issued a warning regarding a woman scamming local residents in the city.
Miller said police are investigating at least nine incidents of a woman approaching people and asking for money.
The incidents date back to Dec. 19 and 20, with the most recent one reported to police on Sunday.
According to Miller, the female suspect has usually approached people — some elderly — at their homes asking for money and giving a variety of reasons. The reasons range from buying flowers for her dead son to needing gas to see a family member in an Urbana hospital.
None of the situations have been confirmed as legitimate. Miller said he believes the woman has scammed additional residents who simply have not come forward to file a report.
In more than one instance, the woman has returned to the same resident asking for more money.
In some instances, Miller said the residents described the woman as pushy and forceful and she has stepped inside the victims' home in some cases. No one has been harmed in any of the reported incidents.
The woman is described as between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 175-185 pounds with short hair. She is believed to be in her early to mid 40s.
