Historical Traveller Reviews of London Bridge Hotel
t work!from A TripAdvisor Member
I was very happy during my stay, but my husband was quite disappointed with the unconnectable in-room internet as he was on business. We reported the problem the 1st night and was told it would be attended by an expert the next day. Unfortunately the problem kept unresolved when we left. The mentioned computer expert was never available - everytime when we called for help the expert was either off-duty or was not around. We finally got a written reply from the hotel and was told we were the only hotel guests encountered such problem, so the possible reason would be the Firewall setting in our computer. Well, in fact we inactivated it when we'd found the problem the first night.
The problem disappeared when we're back home, and we didn't have such problem using in the US, Canada, and even China. So if you are on business and access to the internet is a must - try your luck!

Great Hotelfrom A TripAdvisor Member
I was more than happy with the continental breakfast and the better half was happy to pay the extra £4.00 for the full English
It was easy to get to all the tourist sites by tube, cab or on foot. We would definately stay at this hotel again and have no qualms in recommending it to anyone.
* Was disappointed to find no tea/coffee making facilities in the room - until I started to unpack and found them in the top drawer!!!! - a clever way to keep the surfaces clutter free
Nice hotel, good locationfrom A TripAdvisor Member
The hotel is modern and well equiped. We were bumped to the very luxurious apartments nextdoor. A nice touch, since we booked a standard room at a competitive discount rate. (Hey, we're from Holland).
Points for improvement are the hectic and cramped breakfast room. (But there's a food hall in the adjacent railway station.) And the hotel staff expects you to sign for a hefty deposit on the credit card on checkin.
Loved it!from A TripAdvisor Member
Clean, nice, and reasonably pricedfrom sudbury99
This hotel would be appropriate for leisure travelers as long as you are willing to jump on the tube to get to the main attractions. There is not much immediately around the hotel.
Staff was friendly, though my contact was limited to the desk staff and doormen. I did not try any of the restaurants in the hotel.
My only complaint is the mini-bar refiller person who entered my room even though the dead bolt was engaged (note to self...the dead bolt has no meaning when someone has a master key!).
Great valuefrom A TripAdvisor Member

Overall I would recommend this hotel, only a 10/15 min tube ride to west end and attractions but far enough away from hustle and bustle to get a good nights sleep.

The London Bridge Hotel was a good location for sight seeingfrom A TripAdvisor Member
There were several tourist sites within easy walking distance and many restaurants. I was not impressed with the food. I wanted to try "English" food but really didn't find much that was really good even in those highly advertised on the net. Food was very expensive and the exchange rate for USD to Pounds made it almost twice as much for Americans. If I visited again, I would probably eat at Burger King and the places in the "tube" stations.
Top Local Tips for London
Fifteen Go to Jamie Olivers restaurant 'Fifteen' close to Old Street Tube station. Really nice and quite cheap! Lovely food!
Direction from tube Make sure when you come off the tube you follow signs to Borough High Street, you then come out of station turn right, right again and you're there.
Good advice on saving on London public transport Buy a daily tube card (5.10 GBPounds) if you're in London for under 4 days. It's the cheapest way to go. One-way ticket is 4 GBP, so the 5.10 you'll invest is a bargain (and you can use it as many times as you wish during the day (day goes from the time you buy the ticket until 4 a.m. the next morning).

Well hope this works I'm having computer issues and it won't let me preview this.
Well, its my lame attempted at a birth story.
Doctor wanted to induce me because she felt her head was getting to large to come vaginally. Show up to the hospital, drugs were given to me. At some point my epidural started to wear off, and the pressure was insane, ::insert laugh here:: It was so bad that I was crying out for my cat, not the husband, but I wanted my cat. ::I laugh about that now:: Fast forward to the point that I've been in labor (at the hospital) for about 22/23 hours. I started a fever and everyone starting freaking out about how I'm going to have to have an emergency c-section. Got my fever and the babys heartbeat down. At this point I'm ready to push (It's now 11 something ) I push for an hour. Tried different positions, the doctor was getting pissed at me. (At least it felt that way for me)
This is when I start Begging for a c-section because I'm starting to hurt really bad and the pressure is building back up again, to a point that I thought I was going to pass out. The RN at the doctors office stayed to help deliver the baby even though she was supposed to be home. (She is a cat lady like me, ) I was bribing her with a new cat if she just gave me a c-section. At this point I'm hyperventilating and shaking uncontrollably.
My doctor was like, fine if this is what she wants fine.
TURNS OUT! she was stuck in my pelvis, so if I pushed like they wanted me to, it would have made no progress. The doctor after she took her out was like JENNIFER! You would have never pushed her out. My pelvis is too small and I wouldn't even be able to push a 6 pound baby out.

Insulin Delivery and Glucose Monitoring Methods for Diabetes Mellitus: Comparative Effectiveness
Authors: Ashok Balasubramanyam, MD
Knowledge Gaps and Future Research Needs (2 of 3)
Other shortcomings and gaps in knowledge that were identified in the studies included in this systematic review and meta-analysis were:
- None of the studies identified for inclusion in this review reported data on long-term microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes. This is likely related to the fact that these complications develop over many years, and the longest followup in the studies analyzed was 52 weeks.
- None of the studies in women with pre-existing type 1 diabetes identified for inclusion in this review have examined the effect of rt-CGM on maternal and fetal outcomes.
- Other than the rt-CGM studies, most studies did not report data on treatment adherence. The high baseline HbA1c values in the CSII and MDI intervention groups in many studies may indicate poor adherence to previous as well as intervention treatments that may have biased results.
- The studies included in this review were heterogeneous in assessing and reporting quality-of-life outcomes, which prevented quantification of the effects of insulin delivery and glucose monitoring methods on quality of life.
- No studies examining the effects of CSII versus MDI on quality of life in pregnant women were identified, and only one study examining the effects of these interventions on quality of life in individuals with type 2 diabetes was identified.
Abbreviations: CSII = continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion; HbA1c = hemoglobin A1c; MDI = multiple daily injections; rt-CGM = real time-continuous glucose monitoring
Keywords: diabetes | future research needs | glucose monitoring | insulin delivery | outcomes | populations | studies | knowledge gaps

One copy of the CD Teach Me a Song is available free of charge to families in Cleveland, McClain, and Pottawatomie counties with children aged 0 to 4 years as long as supplies last. Ask your hometown librarian for a copy.
In October 1997, Gloria Jean Fenn, MS, Speech Pathologist for the Sooner Start Program of the Cleveland County Health Department, booked a meeting room at the Norman Public Library for her group of parents with young children. When the librarian asked her the name of the program, Gloria Jean thought, We're going to practice rhythm, and the group is full of babies, so she responded, "Rhythm Babies." The Rhythm Babies program was born. It has been growing and developing throughout Cleveland County and the Pioneer Library System ever since.
"Music is a natural method to encourage articulation," Gloria Jean says. "The children have fun making sounds, and this encourages them to use their tongues and mouths." Besides encouraging speech and language development, the program provides social interaction in a natural setting. "This social interaction is significant in a child's life," she continued. "It involves sharing and listening with and to the other children."
The musical activities involve body movement, the use of musical instruments, scarves, imaginative play, and reading. Beverly Theige, Children's Assistant at the Norman Public Library, presents Rhythm Babies for babies and toddlers and a program for older children aged 3 to 7 called Library Music Connection every Friday morning now that Gloria Jean has retired. However, that welcoming volunteer assisting Ms. Beverly most Fridays is Ms. Gloria Jean.
"The most important thing you can do for your child is to read with him or her every day. Make it interactive. Change the inflection in your voice. Ask questions," says Gloria Jean. "Parents who carefully articulate words when they sing to their children, develop better spellers and better readers."
She added, "Make reading to your little one a snuggle time. Read a book. Sing a song. Trust your own judgment about what you're doing with your children. Surround them with books. That's why I thought the library was the right place for this adventure."
Be sure to check the PLS Events Calendar at www.justsoyouknow.us for the days and times of story times and special music programs in your hometown library.

Jackie Silberg is a Child Development Specialist, musician and award-winning author. Jackie says,
"Music researchers have found correlations between music making and some of the deepest workings of the human brain. Research has linked active music making with increased language discrimination and development, math ability, improved school grades, better-adjusted social behavior, and improvements in spatial-temporal reasoning, a cornerstone for problem solving."

Title: Too cute!
Date: Oct 11, 2012
I bought this to wear to a work party last year and this costume was adorable. I'm in my mid 30's so I didn't wear it like the young goth girl in the picture but I did do my hair with white streaks and looked up cute mummy makeup tips on YouTube. It was a hit. Everyone loved it. I'm lending it to my preteen niece this year and she's going to try to go for the look of the girl in the picture. She's so excited.

My 12 year old is quite happy with this costume, but we couldn't figure out how to wear the corset part of the outfit. You can't see if in the picture and there are no instructions. Frankly, it seems to me that you don't need it. Overall, a good deal and nice quality.

Title: OK, but skip the fishnet tights

The costume is a bit see-through and I'm trying to figure out what to put underneath. Skip the fishnet tights. We got the size 7-10 tights and my 8-year-old could not even get them past her thighs! She is average in height and slender. The cost to return will probably out weigh the cost of the tights. I feel like I just threw away money.

No hair peices. Odd sized "corset" much larger than costume. Does not even velcro shut. I am going to have her wear cream clothes under it and sort of make our own costume out of it. Not what I expected to do with spending 30+$. The costume is actually cute if it fit and was about half the cost. Cheaply made.

Title: Was not blown away
This costume was just okay. My daughter wears a size 8 so I bought the 7/8 and could not get it closed around the hips but I have a feeling the 9/10 would have been way too big. The costume was cute but a lot of people thought we threw it together. I would probably go with something else rather than this costume. Oh and the part that went over the shoulders was pretty much a disaster and we had to pin it and try to make it work.

This costume is really cute. My daughter is age 10 and wears a size 10 so I ordered size 8/10. It's a little too tight through the chest & midsection so the velcro down the back keeps popping open. The wrap that comes with it can be worn as a shaw (off the shoulders) or wrap it twice around the neck as a scarf. We didn't even use the corset, she felt more comfortable wearing a tank underneath.

the reason why I didnt pick YES for recommending this costume to a friend is because the top part peices come off, and it looks soo much better in the picture intil you buy it, also its see threw. In the picture the skirt looks thicker and more stringy. i like it, but then i dont care for it. it could of been better.

Title: Not worth the money
Date: Oct 25, 2010
There is no way this costume will fit a 12-14 year old as the sizing states. My 11 year old daughter, who is of average sizing, BARELY fit in it. I have to add material so it doesn't have a gaping hole on her back. The bodice isn't tall enough to cover the torso either. Overall not a great costume for the money.

About Virginia G. Piper
The Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust is the result of the philanthropy and vision of a remarkable woman whose values shape the spirit and mission of the Trust. Grounded in the solid unpretentious values of the Midwest, Virginia Piper learned about philanthropy from her first husband, Paul Galvin, the founder of Motorola. After his death in 1959 she pledged herself to be a conscientious steward of his money and to preserve the philanthropic tradition he had established. From 1959 through 1969 Virginia resided in Evanston, Illinois and focused her philanthropy in the Midwest. In 1969 she married Kenneth Piper, vice president of Motorola, and with Motorola's continuing expansion into Arizona during the late 1960s, they moved to Paradise Valley, Arizona. After Kenneth's death in 1975, Virginia continued over the final quarter century of her life to expand her philanthropy, particularly in Maricopa County.
Known for her astute understanding of the organizations and projects she supported, she wrote that one must conduct philanthropic work with "judgment and heart." She spent many hours each day at her desk responding to requests and corresponding with organizations, individuals, and scholarship recipients.
The hallmarks of Piper's life were her spiritual faith, philanthropic efforts and personal compassion. The understanding she gained of the community led her to support efforts on behalf of children, the elderly, health, education, the arts and religion. Following her death in 1999 the Trustees determined that the Trust would continue Piper's legacy by making grants to nonprofit organizations in these six areas, primarily in Maricopa County. In the years since her death, the Trust has awarded more than $88,100,000 in grants.
"In our own lives here in the world, we all have an opportunity to do good things on a daily basis for others, and doing them in an unselfish manner. For me, managing the stewardship of charitable giving is a moment-to-moment dignified responsibility of a truly high calling in human affairs and human relations."

I knew that injury-free streak of Furcal'a was too good to last. The shortstop landed on the 15 day DL with his troublesome back. Hurry back Raffy, we need you! From the Times story:
Shortstop Rafael Furcal, who has missed the Dodgers' last five games because of lower back pain, was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday. The move is retroactive to May 6, meaning the earliest Furcal can be activated is May 21 for the final game of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium against Cincinnati.
Furcal's place on the active roster will be taken by utility infielder Luis Maza, whose contract was purchased from triple-A Las Vegas. Maza, a 27-year-old career minor leaguer, can play shortstop, second base, third base and the three outfield positions, providing the Dodgers with much-needed versatility.

These look intriguing on the show, so I tried them. I found it difficult to form the balls as the dough wanted to fall apart. They also wanted to fall apart when I pushed them into discs. They tasted great, but seemed very dry -- like a savory sandie.
The next time I made them, I added one beaten egg. It made the dough so much easier to work with. The crackers were still a little dry, but they are crackers, after all.
I would recommend this recipe to anyone, they taste amazing.

these crackers are fabulous ! They are more like a cookie, and absolutely delicious plain, with a glass of red wine!My mistake was making these the first time--now everyone requests them, always! I will say they are not easy to make. When you try to form the crackers they fall apart. You just have to keep at each one, roll it, re-roll it, whatever it takes to form it. I find it's easiest to form them into a ball , put them on the baking sheet, and then flatten them out with the palm of your hand. Once you find the method that works for you, you will find they are well worth the effort. Like all Giada's recipes----this one is a keeper!

Noble Tune wins thriller in 2013 debut
Saturday, March 09, 2013
Unbridled's Song's Grade 3 winner Noble Tune closed with a furious rush through the Tampa Bay Downs stretch to win his first start of the year Saturday. Winner of the Pilgrim S. (G3) last autumn at Belmont Park, the dark bay colt finished 2012 with a runner-up placing in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) in November.
Unbridled's Song, the sire of 100 stakes winners in his career, ranks sixth on the 2013 General Sire list, with four stakes winners already to his credit this year. His top earner this year is Graydar, winner of the Donn H. (G1) on Feb. 9 at Gulfstream Park.
Noble Tune, trained by Chad Brown for co-owners Martin S. Schwartz and Dell Ridge Farm (also his breeder), got away a bit tardy in Saturday's one-mile contest. Near the back of the field for the first six furlongs, John Velazquez swung the 1-2 favorite very wide coming into the stretch. In the clear, Noble Tune showed a very quick turn of foot to go from seventh to first in an eighth mile, nosing out Are You Kidding Me for the win.
The final time was 1:35.05 on the firm turf, including a final quarter mile in an incredible :22.57 seconds.
Noble Tune has won three of four starts, earning $336,930. The 3-year-old colt is the first foal out of the stakes-winning mare Serena's Cat.

For example, you may want to make edits to the document properties that are not accessible from within the Office programs. While you can use the option to remove personal information from file properties when the document is saved, that option removes all personal information. So, what do you do if you only want to remove some information, such as the name of the last document editor, but otherwise leave the properties unchanged?

Parmesan Whole Wheat Pita Crisps
A perfect alternative to store bought chips and crackers, these whole wheat pita crisps are bursting with cheesy flavor. Zied says this snack is a great source of whole grains, heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, and even calcium, thanks to the Parmesan cheese. "Cumin and red pepper are also sources of antioxidants," says Zied. Blake suggests pairing them with a Greek yogurt dip to boost your intake of calcium and protein.

All eating disorders are complex, and it's not known specifically what causes bulimia. It's thought that a variety of factors are involved, including biological, psychological and sociocultural issues. A mix of family history, social factors and personality is also involved.
While bulimia often starts in the teen years, it usually lasts into adulthood and is a long-term disorder. Other factors include:
- Genetics. Some people may be genetically vulnerable to developing bulimia. Young women with a biological sister or mother with an eating disorder are at higher risk, for example, suggesting a possible genetic link. In addition, there's some evidence that serotonin, a naturally occurring brain chemical, may influence eating behaviors because of its connection to the regulation of food intake.
- Psychological and familial. People with bulimia may have low self-worth as well as perfectionism. They may have trouble controlling impulsive behaviors, managing moods or expressing anger. The families of people with bulimia may tend to have more conflicts, along with more criticism and unpredictability. There may be a history of sexual abuse.
- Cultural Modern Western culture generally cultivates and reinforces a desire for thinness. Success and worth are often equated with being thin, which is reinforced by peer pressure, particularly among young girls.

The Hotel Indigo chain today launches a national campaign with pop singer Natasha Bedingfield based on the premise that locals know their neighborhoods best.
Through Aug. 15, the 36-hotel Hotel Indigo chain is asking people across the USA to identify the best places to go to experience that town, whether an Indigo exists there or not. You might pitch the restaurant down the street from your house that has a terrific Sunday brunch or a unique running path you run every day.
The best answers could win you a prize and a chance to meet Bedingfield, most known for her hit, "Unwritten."
In an interview yesterday from Atlanta, Bedingfield said she jumped at the opportunity to team up with Indigo "because it's all about the local people, which is something that really resonates with me."
Bedingfield said she constantly looks for signs in her hotels that tell her where she is when she wakes up each morning. She has to, she said because she likes to explore new places she's visiting but her grueling tour schedules typically have her spending most of her time "in hotels, airplanes and radio stations."
With its "Locals Know Best" campaign, Indigo clearly hopes to attract major buzz from Bedingfield, who's about to release her latest album, "Strip me." Indigo launched the campaign with an ad in People magazine, as opposed to a publication more geared towards, say, business travel.
But Indigo isn't counting road warriors out.
Goal: Send business travelers a message
In fact, Indigo execs expect the campaign will resonate with business travelers who want the hotels they stay in to show them a bit about the culture of that specific town.
"Each one of our hotels is very unique and reflective of the local community. That's why business travelers are excited to stay with us," Mary Dogan, Indigo's brand exec, told me in an interview yesterday.
"We want to get to know what neighborhood residents think is so cool, unique and exciting about your neighborhood," she said.
Indigo kicked off the contest with Bedingfield performing at Hotel Indigo's Midtown Atlanta hotel and mingling with guests and contest entrants yesterday.
How to enter the contest
If you're a local trend setter who always knows the must-see places in your town, you can either go to one of the Hotel Indigo live "auditions" or enter online. To enter online, submit a photo of your favorite place and describe why it's the best place to go your neighborhood. To strut yourself in-person, you can attend one of the live auditions being held on July 22 at the Hotel Indigo in downtown Nashvile and on July 27 at the Hotel Indigo San Diego.
Other live "audition" dates:
San Diego - July 27
Fort Myers - Aug 6
Basking Ridge, N.J. - Aug 10
San Antonio Riverwalk - Aug 11
San Antonio at the Alamo - Aug 12
On Aug. 15, Indigo will choose four winners who the judges - Indigo execs plus Bedingfield - deem "refreshingly local," Dogan said. The four people - and the local establishment or special spot they've pitched - will be featured in a People magazine ad, Dogan said.
Winners will need to be as interesting as the places they're pitching. Dogan said judges will ask questions such as: "What is their creative energy? How do they express what's so great about their neighborhood?"
Travelers who are staying in other Hotel Indigos this summer may experience activity related to the campaign, Dogan said. Hotels in Fort Meyers, Fla.; Basking Ridge; San Antonio, Texas, and Chicago (the Gold Coast location) will host special happy hours and other events to promote the campaign.

Solar pioneer "Captain Sunshine," aka Yosef Abramowitz, has failed in his bid to take over bankrupt company Better Place, which specializes in electric vehicle charging and battery swaps. Abramowitz, who built Israel's first commercial solar field about two years ago, failed to make a monthly payment of $1 million on August 25 to Better Place's liquidator.
Better Place is now going to Success Parking, an Israeli parking garage company, which lost out to Abramowitz last month. Success Parking led a consortium that included Car Charging Group. Abromowitz had agreed to pay $4.9 million for Better Place's assets and another $6.9 million for Better Place Switzerland's intellectual property. Tzachi Merkur, CEO of Success Parking, will only be paying about $3 million for Better Place. That's coming from reports from The Marker, which does not mention whether that includes assets and intellectual property.
Last month, Abramowitz won the bidding for Better Place in partnership with the Association for the Advancement of Electric Transport in Israel. Captain Sunshine said there was another side to the story – the liquidator didn't provide lists of drivers to bill for using the battery-swap stations – and the needed revenue couldn't be generated. Abramowitz also said that Israel's Transportation Ministry wouldn't release 350 Better Place cars held at its port unless he purchased an import license.
Better Place and its founder CEO Shai Agassi, had high hopes for Israel coming through for the battery-swap innovator. Now, it's not looking so good.

We all know how damaging the sun can be, especially to our skin. We do our best to protect our children from damaging UV rays. We put slather them in sunscreen and put hats on their heads. Many of us even dress in specially decided SPF clothing to protect their delicate little bodies.
But how many of us put sunglasses on them? And I'm talking about cheap grocery store sunglasses… those are toys. I'm talking about glasses that you KNOW have adequate UV protection?
I didn't think so. And to tell you the truth, before now, I hadn't really thought about protecting my son's eyes from the sun. Like many moms, I assumed any sunglasses I picked up would protect him since they're dark. Thanks to Real Kid Shades, I now know better.
Real Kid Shades provide 100% UV-A/UV-B protection. They even have wrap around frames to protect from peripheral light. Theses glasses are shatterproof and impact-resistant to protect your children's safety as well as their sight. This is definitely a company that takes your child's health very seriously, but they do make a VERY cute product. Evidence?
At (almost) 7 months old, the "My First Shades" (for babies 0-24 months) glasses fit Garrett wonderfully. Even with grabby hands, he couldn't FULLY get them off of his head and make trouble with them. However, even if he did, there are NO small parts that could break off and become a choking hazard. None. And this makes me happy.
Garrett has never worn sunglasses or anything around his head like this before (except for the mask he wore when he was being treated under the lights for jaundice, but that was a long time ago!) but he was not upset or bothered by these glasses. He couldn't tell me, obviously, but they seemed quite comfortable to wear. They weren't bulky, and there was nothing to pinch, rub, or jab into him. The strap is soft and unobtrusive.
We were also given a pair of "Xtreme Elements" glasses (for babies 0-36 months), just in case the "My First Shades" didn't fit well. (She must have seen a photo of my kid's giant head. Hahah. Both pairs fit great, though.) Let me tell you, these shades look COOL. Even Garrett's dad who is far less enthusiastic about fashion and style than I am was impressed with these glasses. The biggest difference between these glasses and the "My First Shades" is that these glasses are foam backed for better fit on active children. Garrett wasn't having it though.
I guess he liked the "My First Shades" better. (Actually, he was just tired of playing dress up.)
Real Kids Shades are not just for babies either. They have stylish and protective glasses for children ages 0-12. And one of you lovely readers are going to be able to win a pair of your own. Your choice. Just complete the rafflecopter below.

Boston-Power CEO, CFO, founder resign amidst shift of resources to China
Keith Schmid, chief executive officer Boston-Power, a Massachusetts-based company that designs and manufacturers application-specific lithium-ion batteries, has reportedly resigned amidst word that the firm will soon shift some of its resources to China. Gone too are founder and former head Christina Lampe-Onnerud, chief financial officer Steve Byram and vice-president of marketing Sally Bament, according to the Boston Globe.
What's driving this executive fallout? Well, word is Boston-Power expects to announce a funding deal early as next week and, according to the firm's spokesperson, part of the investment requires Boston-Power to downsize its local staff and focus instead on its existing operations in China. The company, founded by Lampe-Onnerud in 2005, has offices in the U.S., Sweden, Taiwan and China.

text: Yes, quality has a lot to do with it. Pilling happens because of the scales on the wool and friction as mentioned in the article; it's basically localized felting. That is why pilling happens first on the elbows and back of a sweater. The younger the sheep the wool comes from, the fewer scales it has, but the material is more expensive. Fewer/finer scales means fewer pills.

Parties Agreement on Insurance Coverage Deemed Terminable
In the case of Davis v. Davis, No. E2010-00958-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. Aug. 30, 2011), the Wife appealed the trial court's classification of Husband's agreement to carry Wife's insurance as alimony in futuro. The original agreement was as follows: Wife was given a paid position on the board of Husband's company, CBM, which allowed her to be on the company's health insurance plan. Wife was then to reimburse CBM for all costs they incurred from her coverage. Husband eventually sold CBM to his son, who continued Wife's position and coverage. Then in 2005, CBM ended its group coverage for all employees and ceased paying Wife as a board member. Wife sued CBM and Husband. The Chancery Court for McMinn County held that the CBM payments were alimony in futuro, deemed Husband liable for CBM's lack of coverage and required him to cover Wife going forward. Husband appealed.
Interestingly, both parties disagreed with the trial court's classification of the insurance provision as alimony. Wife argued the payments could not be modified (and therefore cannot be alimony in futuro, which is modifiable) and did not cease upon death or remarriage. Husband argued that the agreement was a good-faith compromise allowing Wife to obtain insurance in return for her services as a board member.
The Court of Appeals noted that the original agreement stated that neither party would owe the other any spousal support. Also, the trial court, under T.C.A. §36-5-121(k) may require either party to pay health insurance costs for any appropriate length of time. However, this was an agreement of the parties, which the Appeals Court stated was terminable by Wife at any time or by Husband upon the extinguishing of his interest in the company, which he retained the right to do. Accordingly, the Appeals Court agreed with Husband that this was a good faith concession to allow Wife to easily obtain coverage, and therefore is properly classified as property division. Therefore, when Husband sold his interest in CBM, his obligation to carry Wife's insurance ended and Husband should not be held liable for prior unmade payments or future payments related to Wife's health insurance. The Court also ruled that the Wife could not recover payments from CBM either, because this was not an employment contract but an agreement between Husband and Wife. The Court further stated that neither the Husband nor CBM would be tasked with providing coverage for Wife indefinitely. The option for Wife to be covered by insurance in this manner was just that - an option, which the parties' agreement allowed to terminate at any time. Therefore the decision of the trial court was reversed and costs taxed to the Wife.

There's a new compromise manifesting itself on our calendar. An unspectacular calendar, hastily nailed to the cramped hallway leading to the kitchen. This is no accident. For months, 307 Kensington has teetered between tidy and smelly, with poorly rinsed dishes playing the part of swing voter. The status quo has apparently become unacceptable.
A new system has developed, one of accountability and passive aggression. A golden marker cut an "S" below the 2, the 6, the 11. One "I" was scribbled (what a joy to have one's pronoun match his initial), in crayon, on yesterday's 13. On a promise and a prayer, of motivation.
And yet, the sink remains full.
The pad is comfortably bohemian for me, and overpriced for Sarah. Circumstances that I'm sure we'll cover, in time, brought me to buying into this hardwood and stucco stock. The IPO was reasonable, each share costing but a single chore. Gutters. Snow shoveler. Unpaid personal chef. Interior designer and supplier. Date night outfit consultations. Unreciprocated sexual favors, the kind you don't always want to talk about the next morning. Buying into Christmas, stuffed stockings and all, despite a simmering resentment of gentiles. Dishes.
Few agreements between friends are expected to follow the contract to the letter. This was no different. And though bits of the bargain were shrugged off, the thought's what counts. Well, that and appreciable signs of effort.
Many of our hopes and dreams were coming to fruition. The place looked great! The food inspired, and outfits admired. Cleaning was done with paper towels and distraction. And we were having a mild, unprecipatous winter.
But oh, the smelliness. Amateur Petri dishes littered the counter, hid behind the stove. And the smoking inside, "It just has to stop!" Even I, never particularly olfactorily sensitive, had to admit there was a certain wrinkle to nose upon walking past the foyer.

Fostering Equity in the Classroom (NHGRI, 2009b)University Studies Reveal
Support for Females/Patience for Males
Multicultural Background
Learning Styles of African-American Children
It's important to be aware of gender and multicultural issues when working in the classroom.
There are still barriers to the entry of women into science, including the absence of women from textbooks and widespread publicity about supposed female inferiority in cognitive abilities, such as spatial visualization and the mathematics needed for science. Some feminists criticize science as too "masculine," implying that women will not be successful until science itself changes its character.
Some of this problem can be remedied by giving credit to the contributions of females in textbooks, by providing course coverage of these accomplishments, and by inviting in guest speakers who emphasize women in science and encourage girls to enter the field of science by suggesting career opportunities. Scientific institutions can give females a positive experience in a laboratory learning skills and techniques. This can expose them to learning scientific concepts that will give them the confidence that they need. By providing a safe atmosphere for risk taking with a supportive mentor, the females will experience a feeling of success and greater confidence in their abilities. That feeling is what allows an individual to take risks or be creative. The risk taker knows that if she fails, someone will be there to catch her.
Recent psychological studies on cognitive sex differences have shown that these differences are much smaller than usually assumed. A spatial advantage for males increases after puberty and persists through adulthood despite no consistent sign of sex differences in general intelligence. According to recent research, sex differences in cognition result from socioculturally determined sex-role pressure. Boys, but not girls, are encouraged to perform spatial tasks such as block building. This may be the reason that they develop more advanced spatial skills.
From earliest childhood, girls are not encouraged to find out how their toys work by taking them apart, thus losing a valuable opportunity to develop mechanical inquisitiveness and skills. By third grade, girls are conditioned to accept toys as they are and not to manipulate or change them. By fifth grade, they are quite reluctant to work with science toys, explaining, "I'm a girl. I'm not supposed to know anything about things like that." Boys tend to play with action-oriented toys and learn many mathematical and scientific concepts. Girls experience play patterns that are stationary, stimulating little interest in understanding natural laws that govern the physical world. There appears to be no scientific basis for the assumption that a much larger number of women cannot be successful scientists because of innate mental limitations. It appears to be biased socialization.
Several studies have suggested that girls are further disadvantaged because teachers encourage male students to work with laboratory equipment, especially in the more complex sciences. Girls are criticized for lack of effort or failing to be neat and precise, which lowers their self-esteem and reduces their incentive to take risks.
University Studies Reveal
David Sadker of the American University suggests that researchers move around the room to avoid calling on more boys than girls. He also encourages speakers to use inclusive or generic terms and to avoid masculine pronouns such as he or his or gender-sensitive terms such as mankind.
Carolyn Callahan of the University of Virginia has explored the philosophy behind the lower level of interest among girls in the fields of science and mathematics. Girls tend to view science as negative; responsible for pollution, nuclear warfare, depleting the ozone, and carcinogens. It is important, then, to tie science into socially positive causes like curing disease, alleviating famine, and creating high-tech prosthetics. The social image of the scientist is also less than ideal. Often, the scientist is equated with some genius hermit locked in a laboratory without social contact. This stereotypical scientist is elitist, has his own sense of humor, understands only inside jokes, speaks a language almost unintelligible to the common person, and is always male. To unseat this stereotype, presentations to high school students should include references to teamwork among scientists and collaborations on various projects, including mention of female scientists and the significance of their work. The presenter should be careful to use language that's easy to understand and free of jargon that would exclude parts of the audience.
Support for Females/Patience for Males
The courses students take in secondary school influence and limit subsequent college and career choices. Most girls don't elect to take advanced science and mathematics classes even if they do well in those subjects. Although there's little difference in the ability of males and females to do mathematics, there's an enormous gap in the numbers of boys versus girls that study mathematics. Lacking four years of college preparatory math, young women find themselves eliminated from many college majors, including astronomy, civil engineering, biochemistry, physics, mathematics, medicine, forestry, economics, and computer science. They generally find themselves in education, social work, nursing, and the humanities – fields that offer much in the way of social worth but comparatively less pay.
Boys don't like math better than girls. The greater participation by males in math is related to the males' understanding that math may be a necessary prerequisite for their subsequent careers. The differential treatment of males and females in schools is bad for both sexes. The pressure on men to compete and succeed may lead to frustration and stress. Many men work constantly to build and preserve their "masculinity." Society has given them the superman fixation, which may involve sexual virility, bravery, risk taking, physical strength, skill in sports, aggressiveness, exercise of power, control, and dominance. This is an impossible task and leads to frustration in not being able to meet these expectations. These males may become maladjusted, underachievers, truant, delinquent, inattentive, and rebellious. Their traits of tenderness, sensitivity, and emotion may be underdeveloped. Unrestrained aggressive behavior causes serious problems in schools and in society.
Multicultural Background
Minorities, women, and other disadvantaged groups have not traditionally excelled in the areas of science, mathematics, and computer technology.
Individual methods of processing information and problem solving vary greatly. Research has shown that minorities and women learn in similar ways, but in a way different from that defined by educators as the norm. Many factors are at play in this difference:
Learning Styles of African-American Children
There are differences between the cognitive functioning and learning styles of African-American and Caucasian children. African-American learners prefer experimentation, improvisation, and harmonious interaction with others and the environment. Cooperation is an important dimension in their learning style. Research has found that cooperative learning groups, in which small, heterogeneous ability groups work together on learning tasks and activities, are particularly effective for African-American students. When instruction techniques involve more stimulus variety, greater verve, and rhythmic, verbal interactions, African-American students perform better than they do with traditional techniques.
