Today, President Barack Obama signed the Credit Union Share Insurance Fund Parity Act, H.R. 3468, into law. The legislation, originally introduced by U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R-CA) last November, passed the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously on May 6, 2014, and the U.S. Senate on December 11, 2014.
"The Credit Union Share Insurance Fund Parity Act strengthens national credit unions' commitment to IOLTAs and the legal services they help fund for local communities," said Rep. Royce. "I applaud the President for supporting my efforts to deliver regulatory relief to our nation's credit unions that currently serve over 100 million members."
"I applaud the President for signing this legislation into law because it is critical in ensuring IOLTA's full value in light of any potential credit union failure," said U.S. Representative Ed Perlmutter (D-CO), a cosponsor of the legislation. "More importantly, the interest earned on Lawyer Trust Accounts goes to grants improving access to civil justice and legal services for the poor."
The Credit Union Share Insurance Fund Parity Act expands federal deposit insurance to include Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (IOLTAs) and similar escrow accounts housed within credit unions.
Unlike FDIC coverage, the current regulatory opinion of the National Credit Union Administration is that funds held by credit union members on behalf of those who are not federally-insured credit union members will not be insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. This has created a disparity in coverage when examining IOLTAs.
Specifically, the bill amends the Federal Credit Union Act to require that pass-through share insurance coverage be provided when a credit union member holds funds on behalf of a nonmember in an IOLTA or other similar account.
Rep. Royce is a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee and has served on the committee since 1995.Read More
In her junior year of college, Southern California native Rachel Thomas found herself trapped in a sex-trafficking ring after being lured by a pimp claiming to be a talent agent. The pimp threatened to kill Rachel's family if she attempted to escape.
Angela Guanzon was promised a good-paying job in the United States by a recruiter in the Philippines. Instead, she found herself forced to sleep on the floor of a retirement home in Long Beach, working 18 hour days for no pay.
Rachel and Angela shared their incredible stories of survival with me earlier this year. Their experiences are important reminders that human trafficking is a global problem, but not a faraway one.
Human trafficking is affecting communities across Southern California, including in Orange and Los Angeles counties. At a hearing in Washington I convened last year as chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe described 10- to 12-year-old girls being pimped on the streets of Los Angeles – a shocking reality also confirmed by Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas at our hearing last year in Fullerton.
In fact, the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force has served over 225 victims of trafficking in 2013 alone. The enhanced penalties of California's new anti-trafficking law (enacted in 2013 as Proposition 35) were put to use for the first time last October, when a man who had attempted to lure a 13-year-old girl from Bakersfield into sexual slavery in Sacramento was sentenced to more than 32 years in prison. Increasing the penalties for traffickers is a step in the right direction, but more can and must be done to combat the efforts to lure minors into sexual or labor trafficking.
That's why last year I started my Human Trafficking Congressional Advisory Committee, comprised of victims' rights organizations, local and federal law enforcement agencies and community advocates. Our members include representatives from the Orange County District Attorney's Office Human Exploitation and Trafficking Unit, the Anaheim Police Department, Crittenton Services for Children & Families, the O.C. Salvation Army, and the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking, to name a few. Once a month, the HTCAC meets in my Orange County district office to share concerns and policy recommendations in the fight against trafficking.
One pressing issue HTCAC has brought to my attention is the need for collaboration between local nonprofits and agencies in providing housing options for victims under age 18. The passage of Proposition 35 in 2012 determined that minor victims of commercial sexual exploitation would no longer be detained in juvenile hall – a practice that often revictimized them. However, private shelters are often not secure. Young victims need an environment where they can cope and recover from their traumatizing experiences. They need counseling, treatment and a well-staffed facility where they can work with law enforcement to prepare to testify against their trafficker.
Without this support, survivors are often too scared of retribution to speak out, and the perpetrator is never caught. With nowhere to turn, many young victims return to their pimps out of fear and violent threats to themselves or their families.
To more adequately prepare local agencies to address this very problem, I've co-sponsored the Strengthening the Child Welfare Response to Human Trafficking Act. This legislation helps ensure that child welfare agencies have the necessary tools to understand the unique needs of child trafficking victims and the resources to appropriately serve them. Improving the child welfare response to trafficking is an important step toward effectively caring for these young survivors and removing dangerous traffickers from our communities.
We must also work to combat overseas traffickers who bait foreign-born workers to move to the U.S. with promises of good jobs, then trap them into exploitation and slavery. Last year, I introduced the Fraudulent Overseas Recruitment and Trafficking Enforcement (FORTE) Act. This legislation combats the growing problem of international human trafficking by requiring overseas labor recruiters to provide detailed employment information to workers – to help avoid the bait-and-switch into slave labor or sexual slavery once workers enter the U.S. – and creating additional penalties and enforcement mechanisms.
I have convened a number hearings focused on how the United States can increase efforts to combat human trafficking, particularly the fraudulent recruitment of overseas workers. Through bipartisan action, I am confident we will make substantive progress in this important fight.
With an estimated 60,000 people living in slave-like conditions in the U.S., now is the time to act and collaborate. We must do all we can to protect victims, prosecute traffickers and fight the spread of this grievous offense against human dignity.

U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R-CA) released the following statement in response to the Federal Housing Finance Agency's (FHFA) announcement that it will divert money to the Housing Trust Fund and the Capital Magnet Fund pursuant to the Agency's interpretation of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA):
"Contrary to what Fannie and Freddie apologists claim, the GSEs have yet to repay any of the taxpayer-funded bailout funds they received, which makes today's announcement by the FHFA outrageous. Money coming in from the GSEs should go to the taxpayers instead of a slush fund for ideological housing groups to play around with."
Rep. Royce, a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, authored the Pay Back the Taxpayers Act of 2014 to specifically prohibit contributions by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to the Housing Trust Fund and the Capital Market Fund while the institutions are in conservatorship or receivership.
Rep. Royce also joined House Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) in a writing a letter to FHFA Director Mel Watt urging the continuation of the FHFA's five-year-old policy of suspending contributions to the Housing Trust Fund and the Capital Magnet Fund.
Additionally, during consideration of the FY 2015 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill, the House unanimously adopted an amendment authored by Rep. Royce which prohibits the GSEs from distributing funds to both the Housing Trust Fund and the Capital Magnet Fund.Read More
Today, the U.S. Senate passed the Credit Union Share Insurance Fund Parity Act, H.R. 3468, by unanimous consent. The legislation, originally introduced by U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R-CA) last November, passed the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously on May 6, 2014.
"The Credit Union Share Insurance Fund Parity Act strengthens national credit unions' commitment to IOLTAs and the legal services they help fund for local communities," said Rep. Royce. "The universal support for this bill in both chambers of Congress speaks to the merits of establishing parity for the treatment of IOLTAs and other similar accounts regardless of whether they are kept at a bank or a credit union."
"Prior to being elected to Congress, I practiced law for 30 years and in that time I established many Lawyer Trust Accounts for clients. This legislation is critical to ensuring an IOLTA's full value in light of any potential credit union failure," said cosponsor U.S. Representative Ed Perlmutter (D-CO). "More importantly, the interest earned on Lawyer Trust Accounts goes to grants improving access to civil justice and legal services for the poor."
The Credit Union Share Insurance Fund Parity Act expands federal deposit insurance to include Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (IOLTAs) and similar escrow accounts housed within credit unions.

This week, the House of Representatives voted to approve H.R. 5781, the California Emergency Drought Relief Act of 2014. The 26-page bill is a simple, common sense solution to the water shortages that have plagued our state during this historic draught.
There's no understating the importance of California's agricultural industry to the vitality of our state's people, businesses, and economy. Our state alone produces nearly half of US-grown fruits, nuts and vegetables, and we grow them on over 80,000 farms that range from the Central Valley to Orange County. Dairy farms brimming with calves and grape groves blooming with a full harvest directly translate to jobs and economic activity for Californians, and not just for those who work on farms themselves.
Many of our neighbors rely on the shipping, trucking, and vending that is spurred by a robust agricultural industry for a way of living. Sadly, all of these folks are being placed at risk due to stubborn and wrongheaded politicians in Washington and Sacramento.
A radical interpretation of federal law has severely compounded the California drought. By prioritizing the Delta smelt to the point of curtailing billions of gallons of water slated to be pumped to local communities, bureaucrats have cost our state thousands of jobs and bankrupted hundreds of Californian farms.
The California Emergency Drought Relief Act is a stopgap measure that stems the tragic loss of jobs, crops, and family farms that will fall victim to this drought if we don't take action right now. 2014 marks the third consecutive year that California has been declared in a drought. Seven of the last eight years have been categorized as "below average" to "critically dry." Things aren't getting better, they're getting worse.
In February of this year, the House passed legislation to grant local agencies the flexibility necessary to pump hundreds of billions of gallons of water to Southern California. The legislation passed yesterday is based on language developed during negotiations between Sen. Dianne Feinstein and California House Republicans. The negotiations were intended to resolve the difference between the Senate and House bills passed separately to address the water distribution.
Provisions in this bill sunset in 18 months and set the stage for negotiations towards a permanent solution, all the while aiding Californians that are in immediate need and providing temporary flexibility for the California Water Project to redirect water flow where needed.
There's no doubt that this drought is a natural disaster, and a tragedy for the harm it has caused farmers. But while we can't control the weather, we can ensure that our state's water resources are used in a smart and effective manner to relieve the pain.
The House overwhelmingly passed this critical bill and the ball is now in the Senate's court. Senate Leader Harry Reid needs to bring this bill to the Senate floor immediately. His refusal to follow regular order and bring House passed bills to a vote prior to the election deeply damaged our country's ability to address pressing issues.
With the elections over, there is no longer any reason for continued inaction while Californians suffer.

Today, U.S. Representatives Ed Royce (R-CA) and Lynn Jenkins (R-KS) introduced H.R. 5793, the "Cyber Supply Chain Management and Transparency Act of 2014." The legislation will ensure all contractors of software, firmware or products to the federal government provide the procuring agency with a bill of materials of all third party and open source components used, and demonstrate that those component versions have no known vulnerabilities.
"As a house is only as strong as its foundation, it's no wonder cyber attacks are on the rise with reports showing 71 percent of software contains components with critical vulnerabilities," said Rep. Royce. "This bill protects our nation's cyber infrastructure by ensuring the building blocks that make it up are secure and uncompromised."
"I have voiced concerns to the government agencies in charge of healthcare.gov that our nation's cyber infrastructure was vulnerable and not secure," said Rep. Jenkins. "But the problem is not limited to one website; the entire federal government lacks guidelines for website security. This vital legislation will put the appropriate checks and balances in place to ensure that the government has the tools it needs to create a more sound and secure system for taxpayers."
Additionally, the Cyber Supply Chain Management and Transparency Act of 2014 also takes into account future discoveries of open source components with vulnerabilities, like the Heartbleed vulnerability, and mandates that software applications be patchable, or updatable, when the need arises.

U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R-CA) released the following statement in reaction to passage of the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act of 2014 by the U.S. House of Representatives:
"Americans with disabilities face incredible challenges every day and saving for the future shouldn't be one of them. The ABLE Act provides disabled individuals the financial independence to earn a paycheck and save their wages, rights that all Americans deserve."
The ABLE Act would ease the financial burden for individuals with disabilities by creating tax-free accounts that can be used to save for disability-related expenses. These accounts can be created by individuals to support themselves or by families to support their dependents. Expenses would qualify as disability-related if they are for the benefit of an individual with a disability and are related to the disability. They include education, housing, transportation, employment support, health, and wellness costs, as well as costs related to assistive technology and personal support services.
Rep. Royce cosponsored the legislation on November 18, 2013, and voted for its passage today. He urges swift action from the Senate on similar pending legislation in order to move this important bill to the President's desk for his signature.
A bill aimed at decreasing recent delays in veteran burials by giving Congress new VA oversight got a push forward from lawmakers Thursday.
A Senate version of the bill requiring the VA to report any burial delays longer than 30 days was introduced by Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., following a filing earlier this year in the House, which boosted the odds Congress may act to pass the new reporting rules before the end of the year.
Reports have sprung up around the country that deceased vets are waiting months to be interred in the Department of Veterans Affairs' system of national cemeteries.
"This legislation will keep the VA accountable for ensuring every veteran receives a proper burial in a timely manner," Heller said in a joint released statement with Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., the House sponsor.
Under the bill, the VA would be required to track and record any burials not completed within a month as well as the names of the entities that are responsible for the bodies, including local medical examiners, funeral directors, and county service groups.
Data on the burial delays would be collected in an annual report and given to the House and Senate veterans' affairs committees, according to the bill language.
Reports of delays are only one of the recent headaches for the VA, which is working on a massive overhaul following a scandal over patient wait times in his nationwide veteran health care system.
The agency oversees a system of 131 cemeteries and burial rights for veterans. Over the past year, there have been media reports of long delays for deceased veterans at facilities in California and elsewhere.
Royce cited a May report by the Los Angeles Times that 52 unclaimed veteran bodies had accumulated in the Los Angeles County morgue in his home state.
"While the quality of the healthcare that veterans receive has been in the news lately, our veterans deserve the same attention when it comes to their burials," Royce said in the statement.
Still, the legislation is likely to face steep odds.
Both chambers of Congress left Washington on Thursday and are not scheduled to return until after Thanksgiving. Next month, lawmakers will only have a couple of weeks to pass crucial budget and war bills and other issues may get pushed aside.Read More

U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R) is serving his eleventh term in Congress representing Southern California's 39th District, based in Orange, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino Counties. He and his wife, Marie, are longtime residents of Fullerton, CA.
Royce's priorities in Congress are: addressing our national debt, protecting our homeland, eliminating pork-barrel spending, fighting crime and supporting victims of crime, strengthening education for all students, spurring job creation and strengthening Social Security and Medicare.
Royce has a strong history of public service. In 1982, he was elected to the California State Senate where he began his fight for victims' rights. He authored the nation's first anti-stalker law and versions of his bill have been adopted in all 50 states. He was also the legislative author and campaign co-chairman of California's Proposition 115, the Crime Victims/Speedy Trial Initiative, approved by the voters in 1990. In Congress, Royce continues his fight for victims' rights. He wrote and passed the Interstate Stalking Punishment and Prevention Act in 1996. This law makes it a federal crime to pursue a victim across state lines and enables law enforcement to intervene before violence occurs. Royce was active in passing AMBER Alert legislation in 2003, and legislation in 2004 to enhance rights for victims of crime. He currently is a member of the Victim's Rights Caucus.
For the 113th Congress, Royce was selected to be Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Royce has served on the Committee since entering Congress in 1993. Immediately prior to becoming Chairman of the Committee, Royce served as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade and a member of the Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific.
As a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, Royce sits on two Subcommittees: Capital Markets and Government Sponsored Enterprises, and Insurance and Housing. Royce has served on the conference committees for some of the most significant legislation in the financial services arena. For more than a decade Royce has called for a stronger federal regulator to limit Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's excessive risk taking at the expense of taxpayers. In 2003, he was the first member of Congress to write legislation calling for a single regulator under the Treasury Department for the three housing government sponsored enterprises: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the twelve Federal Home Loan Banks.
Royce has consistently earned honors and awards from the National Taxpayers Union, Citizens Against Government Waste, National Federation of Independent Businesses, Watchdogs of the Treasury, Americans for Tax Reform, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, United Seniors Association, 60 Plus, American Share Holders Association, Citizens for a Sound Economy and the Small Business Survival Committee.
A California native, Royce is a graduate of California State University, Fullerton, School of Business Administration. Prior to entering public service, his professional background includes experience as a small business owner, a controller, a capital projects manager, and a corporate tax manager for a Southern California company. Royce and his wife, Marie, have been married for 28 years.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-PA-02) issues this statement upon occasion of President Obama's inauguration:

"The last four years under President Obama's leadership have been extraordinary. We look forward to the next four years for even greater accomplishments as the President is poised to quarterback our nation through a period more daunting than any Super Bowl.
"It is fitting that we launch the second term on Martin Luther King Day, as millions of Americans act on the dream of Dr. King and the imperatives of the President in day of service as well as celebration."

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Throughout the history of the planet, there have been five mass extinctions. The most famous mass extinction took place 65 million years ago when an asteroid impacted what is not the Yucatan and Gulf of Mexico region, blasting so much earth into the atmosphere that most cold-blooded reptiles, especially the dinosaurs, vanished. Mammals became the dominant species on Earth after that event.
However, the Chicxulub impact was not the worst mass extinction event in history. That distinction is reserved for a mass extinction event that took place 252 million years ago when the Earth's climate was suddenly changed, possibly by a microbe which released methane as a by-product. Methane is even worse than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas and the planet's temperature spiked as a result. About 90 percent of all ocean species perished as well as 70 percent of all land species.
St. Francis the patron saint of all living things.
The oceans turned acidic and the temperature warmed and after the extinction, it took 20 million years for the dinosaurs to appear.
Mass extinctions change everything. Typically the dominant species, which has evolved according to the existing established biologic order, is the hardest hit since its food chain is severely disrupted. Scientists fear the same thing could happen to humans as foodstocks, such as fish and various plants are devastated by human activity.
Human activity is definitely the culprit, scientists say. According to the latest research, species are being lost at a rate that exceeds 1,000 times what is natural without humans. Since 1995 scientists conclude that about one million species have become extinct every year, a rate much higher than what occurs in places where human activity has little or no impact.
This is a major concern because biodiversity is essential for balance in nature. If certain species, known as keystone species, are reduced or become extinct, it could throw the balance of nature off in one area or more. This will lead to population explosions in other organisms including various parasites, which could threaten humanity. There could also be a collapse of food stock.
Such stresses on human civilization can contribute to warfare, forced population control, and other nightmare scenarios that few people care to contemplate.
The problem stems from the ability of humans to alter their environment, and a lack of regard for the true impacts of that environment. Humans are remarkably short-sighted creatures with few people cognizant of what happens beyond their front door.
The paper is entitled: "The Biodiversity of Species and their Rates of Extinction, Distribution, and Protection" and was published on Thursday in the journal Science.

Department of the Navy--Request for Modification of Remedy
B-401102.3: Aug 6, 2009
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8278
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Naval Facilities Engineering Command requests that our Office modify the recommendation in our decision Rosemary Livingston--Agency Tender Official, B-401102.2, July 6, 2009, 2009 CPD para. __, in which we sustained the agency tender official's (ATO) protest, concluding that there was inadequate documentation to support a finding that the ATO's fourth revised tender was unacceptable and further discussions were necessary. In issuing our recommendation, we stated that ordinarily we would have recommended that the agency re-evaluate proposals, document those conclusions, and then take appropriate action based on those conclusions. However, because the implementation of such a recommendation is barred by 8023 of the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009, we recommended that the agency terminate the contract award. The Navy contends that we should have left to the agency's discretion whether corrective action is unlawful under the circumstances of this case.
We deny the request.

The rapidly ageing population is placing increasing strain on healthcare services. Robots have been proposed as a way to assist people to stay healthy and safe in their own homes. However, despite the need for such assistive devices and the success of some healthcare robots, other robots have had a poor response. This article reviews the literature about human responses to healthcare robots and summarises the variables that have been found to influence responses. It may be possible to increase acceptance of healthcare robots by properly assessing the needs of the human user and then matching the robot's role, appearance and behaviour to these needs. Because robots have limitations in their abilities, another way to increase acceptance may be to modify the expectations of users to better match robots' abilities. More research needs to investigate potential users' needs and expectations in specific situations and whether interventions to increase the match between robot and human can increase acceptance.

Report: Nearly $16 billion in m:commerce lost over 2013 holidays
The 2013 holiday season has been written down as a success for most etailers and brands. According to comScore the total online spend surpassed $46 billion; the National Retail Federation lists the overall spend at just over $601 billion. But, according to Jumio data, about $16 billion was left behind - at mobile counters.
According to Jumio, mobile commerce missed out over the 2013 holidays, despite a stronger-than-average spend and 2013 being the hottest mobile shopping season so far. Their data indicates nearly $16 billion was left on the mobile table because of abandoned mobile carts.
One of the most common reason shoppers didn't complete those mobile purchases? Payment friction.
"While consumers abandon mobile shopping carts for a variety of reasons, from slow network speeds to high shipping costs, the most significant among them is entirely under a retailer's control - removing payment barriers," said Daniel Mattes, founder and CEO, Jumio. "On the whole, retailers with mobile apps have done a remarkable job with most aspects of their mobile shopping experience and this season's numbers certainly show that. However, checkout pages and payment methods have not kept pace with what smartphone devices and services can do today to streamline those processes. This cost the industry billions of dollars this holiday season. Good news is that we expect that number to diminish as new technologies take root."
The Jumio report also shows:
• 51% of mobile shoppers abandoned carts because they didn't feel their credit card info would be 'safe'
• 47% abandoned carts because of payment friction
• 41% said checking out was 'too difficult' over a mobile device
• 23% said their purchase would not go through, so they left the mobile store

Ellen Pompeo Welcomes a Baby Girl
Meredith Grey is a mom!
"Grey's Anatomy" actress Ellen Pompeo and husband Chris Ivery have welcomed their first child, a girl, her rep tells Usmagazine.com exclusively.
"Her name is Stella Luna Pompeo Ivery," her rep tells Us. "She was born Sept. 15 in Los Angeles."
Pompeo, 39, and the music producer, 41, who tied the knot at a small ceremony in 2007, announced they were expecting in April.
"It's a huge lifestyle change, and I take that very seriously," she told Allure in 2008 of motherhood. "[Chris and I] enjoy our life so much. We go to Europe and sleep in. So when I have the baby, I won't feel like we've missed any fun, reckless times together, like staying up all night drinking champagne and having sex until five in the morning and not having to get up until two in the afternoon."
Her "Grey's" co-star Jessica Capshaw told Us that Pompeo was ready to be a mom.
"She is so on top of it, and she is so excited, and she is very sweet about it," she told Us in May. "She is doing her research."
Added Capshaw, "She is exactly the way that she should be about it, which is really excited and hopeful but at the same time really pragmatic and planning. And I think that is the best way for her to be."
The new season of "Grey's Anatomy" starts Sept. 24. Pompeo's co-star Katherine Heigl recently adopted a baby girl from Korea.

In her weekly journal, Amherst, Massachusetts, mom Catherine Newman chronicles life with her son, Ben, 6, and daughter, Abigail (aka Birdy), 3, as well as a juggling act that combines motherhood, work, and her relationship with Ben and Birdy's dad, Michael. Check in with us every Monday to read the latest entry.
Week 202: The longest day of the year
"Do you think there's anywhere in the world where they pour your drink into a napkin ring, and it's kind of, you know, flat on the table and then you eat the drink out of it with a spoon like it's a bowl?" Ben is sitting at the table with no shirt on. It's hot out, and he's gulped down his milk but now stalls over a bowl of rice and salty tofu. Birdy has already hopped up to the table, drunk her own milk, and hopped down again, and I don't have the energy to cajole her into returning.
I'm thinking about a writer I love, how she recently mentioned that when her children were small, she used to let them eat fruit for dinner in hot weather. I am not turning out to be this kind of playful, imaginative mother as much as I might have hoped. I should have just made smoothies for dinner. "Probably not," I say. "but that's an interesting idea."
"Yes, but could we?" I'm listening to Birdy yelp upstairs. Our toilet is sweating in the heat, and she has likely stepped in a puddle of condensation, mistaken it for pee. I should go upstairs and wipe it up. "Could we what?" "Could we pour our drinks into napkin rings?" Ben is looking at me, and I smile at him. "You know, honey, I think they'd probably be too leaky." Ben nods patiently. "What if we kind of, you know, suctioned it down? With suction cups glued to the side?" This is probably something my writing-idol has already let her kids try — suction-cupped napkin-ring drink bowls — but even finishing this conversation feels, somehow, like it will require the sudden arrival in my kitchen of a large iced coffee. I put my fingers out in the right configuration, but no to-go cup appears inside them.
I am so overwhelmed tonight by work deadlines that I'm buzzing with stress — it's practically coming off of me in visible waves, the way odor shimmers off of a cartoon skunk. Plus, after two harrowing work phone calls, there is the actual odor of nervous sweat. Ben sees me sniff at my armpit, then leans over to smell for himself. He recoils joyfully, aghast. "Pew!" he cries. "Mama! Pew!" Then he leans in for another whiff, recoils again, laughing, like those Jackass guys shocking themselves over and over again, electrodes stuck to their nipples. "Mama! What is that?" "It's the smell of how tired I am," I say, unhelpfully. What I want is to unplug my computer and my brain along with it. I want to leave my stress outside the door like a pair of dirty shoes, a wet umbrella. But I haven't done this. I have let it into the house with my children like a dangerous wild animal.
Meanwhile Birdy has in fact — inspired perhaps by the puddle of water on the ground? — peed on the bathroom floor, and now she howls and sobs. This particular occasion I actually rise to. I comfort her quickly and well, let her walk around with washcloths on her feet, let her toss her sopping undies in the bucket, spray the Mrs. Meyers geranium cleaning spray — the one that makes me a true believer in aromatherapy. Somehow it's gotten late. It's the solstice.
"Come on," I say, inspired suddenly, maybe by the cleaning-spray scent of geraniums. "Let's do something special. Let's get dressed to go outside again." My plan is to walk them to the pond, to float candles out in the late twilight, make wishes on the light. I want it to be the kind of spontaneous, special thing the kids will remember their whole lives. Instead, I am almost immediately deflated by Ben's sock debate: "Should I? I mean, socks will protect my feet from the mosquitoes but then it's so hot, so I don't want to feel all sweaty and like my feet are hot. Mama? Mama? Should I wear socks?" By the time we set out, with my having actually said aloud, "I don't care if you wear socks or not," all of us reeking of bug spray but getting eaten alive nonetheless, I realize that what they will remember about this outing is how irritable I was.
And yet. We see fireflies and get a chance to look at them, really look at them up close, the way they blink on and off like lit-up green exclamation marks. ("Do they do that on purpose?" Michael asked me later when he got home, looking at a firefly on our screen, looking himself like a beautiful, curious child.) We get to the pond, which is marshier than I imagined, but somehow manage to float our small votives on broad green leaves, to get them lit and make our wishes. Bats swoop and dive overhead like remote-control airplanes, and I pretend to be thrilled instead of scared — I pretend so well, in fact, that I end up feeling thrilled instead of scared. And Ben pretends too, I fear — pretends to be delighted by this grumpy, ill-conceived outing: "I wished that every solstice would be as happy as this one!" But by the time we're done with all the pretending — well, it's not half bad as solstices go. Plus, the sky is now a deep blue, stars twinkling up around us. This day is truly over.

Totally normal to feel not pregnant anymore. Relax and enjoy some ice cream! Whenever I think all my symptoms are gone I'm quickly reminded that I'm still constipated.

Normal. Just because you're pregnant, doesn't mean you're doomed to be sick forever.

Im 11 weeks today and besides the bloating i also dont feel pregnant anymore, but i guess that as long as their is no extreme pain or bleeding everything should be ok. I have an app monday and hope everything is ok like the other two times :)

I'm glad you are doing well! Mine went away about 3 weeks ago. My appointment is finally today! Sure hoping everything is ok here. 4 weeks is too long between appointments during the first trimester! :)

I'm glad to hear the update.
I have felt great ever since the day I turned 11 weeks. While I've been surprisingly calm and not the worrywart that I am throughout this pregnancy, the fears are starting to creep in even though I know it's perfectly normal to feel better now that the placenta has taken over. Anxious for my appt Tues where I'll finally hear the heartbeat!!

Your 8-month-old: Week 2

Your 8-month-old: Week 3
Your baby's vision - previously about 20/40 at best - is now almost adult-like in its clarity and depth perception. Though your baby's short-range sight is still best, his long-range vision is good enough to recognize people and objects across a room. Read More
Your 8-month-old: Week 4
Once your baby starts standing and cruising, you may wonder whether real shoes are necessary. Until your baby is walking around outdoors regularly, most doctors and developmental experts don't think so. Read More
