My husband's not attracted to me now that I'm pregnant. What can I do?
I'm six months pregnant and my husband never wants to make love anymore. He says he's afraid it'll hurt the baby, but I think he's just not attracted to me right now. I've tried to reassure him that the baby is safe but that doesn't help, and I'm tired of begging for sex. What can I do? And will he want me again after our baby's born?

My husband & I, we went to see a movie last night, there was a scene where the main actress was naked, her boobs were showing, well, that's the only part of the movie that Will remembered. He's been checking out girls lately. Looking at their boobs, browsing at pics online, he doesn't want to have sex with me anymore, and today, we were look at a metal magazine, it had the top 25 hottest chicks in metal in it. He took the magazine from me and practically drooled at the photos of barely covered "metal" women. It's just really hurting me...I'm 12wks pregnant. Since two weeks ago, he doesn't cuddle or want to cuddle when we go to bed. And he doesn't "feel" like sleeping naked anymore. We always do... :'( It's really making me want to just get plastic surgery or something. And he said, "I enjoyed looking at her boobs tonight." he said that..last night...to my face. He promised me sex last night, because it's been a while, after the movie, when he said that, he "changed his mind" about sex.posted 09/05/2012 by darkestshadowkeh
As a 24 year old expectant father of a beautiful little miracle I can relate to this. I love my lady very much. I do whatever she asks, rub sore feet and backs, cuddle her and twirl her hair for hours. Cook, clean...anything. However I am not interested in sex nearly as often as I was. It's not her or her body for me, she is beautiful. For me it is the near constant buzz of words like vaginal discharge, hemorrhoids,stretching and tearing, placenta, bleeding...these are not turn ons for anyone. Ever. I know this is basically a man bashing thread so everyone knows how crappy we are, but I thought it needed a little perspective. As an aside, we do still have sex. A couple times a week. But yesterday she went on a pregnant rampage and told me how I never satisfy her anymore and implied if I don't someone else will. Which prompted me to search out the subject and led me here.posted 09/04/2012 by canhazguitar
Wow, I thought it was only me! DH isn't the kinda guy that will jump on the sack everyday, but we had sex, at least, 3 times a week.... My first pregnancy was perfect, but he didn't feel "in the mood" after my 8th or 9th week... Now, I'm on the 6th week of my 2nd pregnancy and again, nothing! He says he doesn't understand what's the matter... Obviously the "I don't wanna hurt the baby" comment was his first response, but he also said he didn't understand why he didn't feel like having sex anymore and maybe, it was because of the baby!.... I mean, I know he loves me and we will be active soon after the baby is born, but hey, pregnant women have needs!!!! He still kisses me and hugs me... but that's about it...posted 08/28/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
It's nice to know it's not just me. However, I still feel like an ugly duckling. Im 30 1/2 wks and my husband shows no interest. Before I was 4 months he was all over me and had been even before I got pregnant. Even stated he wouldnt be able to wait the 2 wks you're supposed to wait after the babys born. Now he only wants to cuddle. Thats great but I dont feel desired at all. A woman needs to feel sexy and wanted!! I finially quit initiating any type of sexual contact. He doesnt even flirt with me anymore. He is so supportive and has been wonderful to help. I just want back what we once had! What if it doesnt come back? Im terrified! Im actually in tears as I type. This is awful!posted 08/24/2012 by rjbaker04
I'm 31 weeks pregnant and I've been feeling the same way for a couple months now too. i cry myself to sleep sometimes when hes already asleep because i feel so unattractive and fat. i thought it was me but we finally had a talk and he told me that when his ex-wife was pregnant with his first child that they had sex alot and they tore something in her that made her bleed really bad. it took her 6 months after the baby was born to heal. Hes afraid that its going to happen to me. i told him that we didnt even have to have sex, just fooling around would make me happy. i get so jealous when he looks at other women now cuz i know im not skinny like i used to be. We finally messed around a little last night but right this second i see how he still looks at other women on the internet and it still hurts. i wish guys would just understand how we are feeling right now. hope this helps.posted 08/20/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I had the same problem with my partner. Hes awesome in so many ways but he just went from sex everyday to twice a week if that. I knew there was something up so I just asked him, and he told me it was because all I talked about was being so big and not comfortable. He said he thought I was beautiful at first and now all he could think about was me being soooo big like he had heard me say over and over. So I just stopped thinking that way and started saying positive things about myself and even if I was uncomfortable, if I knew I wanted to make love that night I would just not say that I was uncomfortable and you know what it worked. We are not at every night now but it is alot better and besides I am so prego now everynite is not what I want anyway. But the intimacy that I craved is back and better than ever. So get confident even if you dont feel like that and see what happens.posted 07/29/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Another Guy's perspective: I am amazed and frustrated myself after reading all these posts from pregnant women who are not being satisfied in this department. I would like nothing more than to cuddle and be intimate with a pregnant woman every day!!! Your body is beautifully expressing fertility and I find that very sexy. My heart skips a beat when I see a woman who is 7-9 months along. Of course then I realize she is most likely taken and go "aw shucks" inside. Anyhow keep your chin up ladies, you're beautiful :-)posted 07/26/2012 by hopefuldan
My partner was on the other side of the world for the first five months of my pregnancy, and I was so terrified that when he got home he would be the same as this, and not be attracted to me. As it turns out, he still is, which I find hard to comprehend really, because when I look at myself I don't see a sexually attractive body. But, I guess we can't control what does or does not appeal to anyone else,. The best we can do is talk though it and try find other ways to meet each others needs if sex becomes a problem area in the relationship. I have read that men's sex drive can often decrease toward the end of pregnancy due to hormonal changes of their own, the biological drive for this being that they don't stray from the woman carrying their offspring, so maybe for some of the men who don't want sex, this is a natural reaction, and beneficial for your relationship long term, even though it really sucks right now.posted 07/19/2012 by Jasmin_Lee
I thought I was the only one experiencing 'NSTBS'... (no sex till birth syndrome)... It is driving me insane - and not only that, it's making me feel really unloved/ugly. My partner tells me each and every day how sexy & beautiful I am, cuddles me all the time, but rejects all my sexual advances. He too looks at pornographic websites - looking at these women who are the opposite of me at the moment. I feel as if it's a really selfish act for him to be doing this - and yes, I understand he's stressed out as well - but how does he think I'm feeling?! Typical male.. And I also feel as if I too should kiss my sex life goodbye! I'm only in my early 20's for goodness sake. Everyone on this forum who have expressed concern about their partners rejection LOVE sex, obviously. I'm not going to beg for sex - I've never had to beg in my whole life! Pregnancy blows sometimes.posted 07/06/2012 by georgiagrace2
For anyone else who is struggling with this: I know that it may be hard to do, because you are pregnant and you go through "the changes" and may lack energy, but no one said just because you are pregnant you can't be sexy... I don't care what anyone says, a lot of men find women more attractive when they are pregnancy b/c you get a certain "glow" that naturally is beautiful. If at certain times you feel that you aren't pretty or attractive, go and pamper yourself. Go get your hair done, your nails, get a pedicure, or buy a new dress. Do you something that'll make you feel good about yourself. The same confidence that you had pre-pregnancy is the same confidence that you need to have while you are pregnant. You're still YOU! If anything let your confidence magnify because you know you are carrying a beautiful baby inside of you. Men are attracted to confidence. That never changes. Be beautiful, ladies. Concerning sex, find a comfy position and work it!!!! Don't be afraid. Have fun!posted 06/25/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

The complete data section can be found on page 21 of the annual report.
Variation in Report Volume
The volume of reports, after adjusting for volume of care delivered in different facilities, submitted to PA-PSRS varies significantly by facility. Table 1 shows the range of report volumes from hospitals by quartile. A small number of hospitals submitted no reports in 2007. Differences among hospital types does not explain the variations. Hospitals of all sizes, specialty and location fall into each of the quadrants shown below.
[See Table 6 on page 32 of the Annual Report]
The Authority believes the disparate reporting rates are due to several factors including differences in Act 13 interpretations, facility case mix, varying levels of facility cultures of safety, and potential over-reporting and under-reporting. The Authority will take steps to balance the reporting rates and has included this effort in the Strategic Plan. These steps will include discussions with the Department of Health to clarify Act 13 definitions and a special project aimed at determining the characteristics of high-reporting facilities. Appropriate educational efforts will follow these activities. (Additional discussion of this issue is provided on page 21 of the annual report.)

Turning The Tables: Legislator Files To Cut Quinn's Budget
Several months after Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn vetoed legislators' salaries from the state budget -- one lawmaker wants to turn the tables on him.
Gov. Quinn says lawmakers shouldn't be paid until they overhaul the state's pensions. A judge rejected that move and the governor's appeal is still pending before the state Supreme Court, so lawmakers are getting their paychecks.
Nevertheless, legislators are still offended by Quinn's "attack," as Rep. David Harris, R - Arlington Heights, describes it.
"It's my contention he and his staff haven't done their job, because it's a cooperative venture here in the state, between the legislature and the chief executive," Harris says. "We passed 600 bills in the spring session. Six hundred bills. Because we didn't pass one single bill he claims we haven't done our job."
Harris has filed legislation to cut a million dollars from the governor's office.
In response, a spokesman for the governor sent a summary of task forces, deadlines and public pronouncements Quinn has made to help resolve the pension issue, and says the governor isn't taking a paycheck until that's done.
That isn't enough for Harris, who says Quinn has job perks most legislators do not.
"I'm not driven around by state troopers, I have to buy my gas myself, kay? I have to put food on my table and it doesn't come from the state coffers at the executive mansion. So there's a little bit of a difference here," he says.
Harris also notes that, unlike he did for legislators' pay, Quinn did not veto his own salary; he is just making a temporary choice to not take a paycheck.
Harris's legislation, House Bill 3717, was filed yesterday, the same day House Speaker Michael Madigan made public a letter about the salary veto. The letter makes clear that legislators will NOT vote to try to override it during the fall veto session. Madigan writes that the judge's ruling essential void's Quinn's action ... so there is no veto for the General Assembly to consider.

Chinese divorce to avoid property tax: Report
Published on Mar 6, 2013 1:45 PM
SHANGHAI (AFP) - Chinese couples are flocking to divorce to avoid a new tax property sales tax imposed by the government, after it left open a loophole for those who end their marriages.
Government marriage registration offices - which also handle divorces - were swamped by scores of couples trying to untie the knot, with one newly-separated woman telling AFP on Wednesday she was heading off to sell a property.
China's central government last Friday issued rules to rein in housing prices, including a nationwide capital gains tax of 20 per cent on profits owners make from selling residential property.
But the terms allow couples with two properties who divorce and put each house into one person's name to then sell them tax-free under certain conditions, after which they can remarry, state media said.

By its lofty standards, this may have been the offense's sloppiest game of the year through three quarters. Eventually, the Packers' pick-your-poison attack pulled through. Again, Jordy Nelson was the benefactor. Nelson is rapidly asserting himself as one of the game's most dangerous wide receivers. On Sunday, he caught six passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns. His 40-yard score on third and 4 with 3 minutes left iced the win. Greg Jennings and Jermichael Finley only combined for three receptions but Nelson - again - made clutch plays in the fourth quarter to key a Packers win. "I'm just trying to go out and do my job," Nelson said. "I have an assignment on every play, run or pass, and I try to do it to the best of my ability."
Fundamental tackling. It'd be easy to criticize the Packers' pass defense here, but LeGarrette Blount's 54-yard touchdown run probably should never happen in professional football. The bruising 247-pound back blasted through six missed tackles en route to the end zone. The culprits? Desmond Bishop, A.J. Hawk, Morgan Burnett, Tramon Williams, Sam Shields and Erik Walden. That won't be a fun segment in the film room. Blount was a steady force most of the game with 107 yards on 18 attempts. This one play helped Tampa Bay stay within striking range in the first half.
What if Nelson doesn't pull down that third-down reception? An incompletion there would have given Josh Freeman another shot - and Freeman was feeling it. He finished with 342 yards on 28-of-38 passing. At the time, the Packers held a fragile two-point lead and would've needed to punt. Aaron Rodgers and Nelson were on the same page, hooked up for a score and Green Bay is 10-0. "We got the man coverage we were anticipating," coach Mike McCarthy said. "Jordy ran an excellent route and we were able to convert it. It was a big play, probably the biggest play in the game for us."
Punter Tim Masthay was credited with two fumbles and a rushing first down on the first-quarter punt attempt he pulled down and ran with.
Former Packers RB Kregg Lumpkin saw a lot of action on third downs for the Buccaneers but did not carry the ball.
QB Aaron Rodgers missed throwing for 300 yards because on the final pass he completed, FB John Kuhn lost a yard.
Rookie LB Vic So'oto saw his first action on defense in more than a mop-up situation, subbing for Walden for a couple of plays.
To make room for DE Mike Neal on the active roster, rookie TE D.J. Williams was inactive for the first time this season.
22.4 Yards per punt return Randall Cobb has averaged in his last nine attempts, raising his season average from 5.5 to 13.5.
6,268 Yards the defense is on pace to allow this season, which would rank second in franchise history behind 6,403 in 1983.
117 Consecutive passes QB Aaron Rodgers had thrown without an interception before being picked off in the fourth quarter.
282 Yards passing the defense has given up to tight ends over the last three games.
36 Penalties opposing teams have had against the Packers over the last four games.
Packers at Detroit Lions (7-3), 11:30 a.m. Thursday (Fox)
The Packers go on the road for a Thanksgiving Day matchup with their NFC North rivals, the Detroit Lions. It will be the first meeting of the season for the teams. The Lions, who beat Carolina, 49-35, at home Sunday, nearly knocked the Packers out of the playoffs last year with a 7-3 victory at Ford Field. The Packers had won 10 straight against them before that. The Packers have won four of the last five against Detroit on Thanksgiving and are 13-18-2 all-time on Thanksgiving.

Lefty, Kaymer in Singapore aiming for top ranking
SINGAPORE Phil Mickelson's quest for golf's No. 1 ranking may have suffered a setback in China last week, but the Masters champion expects a stronger performance starting Thursday at the Singapore Open.
Mickelson finished tied for 41st in the HSBC Champions in Shanghai, hurting his effort to overtake England's Lee Westwood for the top ranking.
"I didn't play the best last week but I seem to play better the second week of my two-week stretch and hope to put it together this week," Mickelson said.
Mickelson said he hasn't "played the way I liked to this year other than the win in Augusta," and he faces another daunting field in the $6 million Singapore Open.
Fellow 2010 major winners Graeme McDowell and Martin Kaymer are among the 204-man field, as is defending champion Ian Poulter and Francesco Molinari - fresh off his one-shot win at the HSBC. Asia's first major winner Y.E. Yang and three-time major winner Padraig Harrington are also in the mix.
Kaymer and Mickelson, ranked third and fourth, respectively, are vying for the No. 1 spot held by England's Lee Westwood, who finished second in Shanghai in his first tournament atop the rankings.
Poulter, currently ranked 15th, also has designs on eventually claiming the No. 1 spot. The top ranking was out of reach in the years when Tiger Woods was at his peak, but now Poulter sees a window of opportunity.
"Everybody is now in the frame to push forward," Poulter said. "With that in mind, anybody in the top 10 in the world has a good six months, can find themselves moving up the world ranking higher enough to contend for that No. 1 spot. And that's something I'm aiming for."
The field for the co-sanctioned European Tour and Asian Tour event will be spread over two courses this year, with one round at the tighter Tanjong course and three at Serapong. The number of players meant not all will be able to get in practice rounds.
"It isn't ideal," Poulter said. "I'll walk out with my caddie and have a good look at it and that's about all I get on the other course (Tanjong). Sometimes it works for you and sometimes it works against you. We've all played a golf course blind."
Mickelson was glad to be playing in a city and a region where enthusiasm for the sport is growing.
"There are a lot of people playing golf in Singapore and Asia now and it is exciting to see the game grow because in the United States, it has not been growing and staying the same if not declining," Mickelson said.
Kaymer was one player who was able to scout the course, noting there was little need for a driver, while the 3 woods and low irons will be out of the bag regularly.
"The long iron hitters are at a bit of an advantage this week so you have to be a good iron player," Kaymer said.
McDowell, ranked No. 10, was less concerned with the course than the air that hung above it in the humid city-state.

OK, so I do have a few posts already lined up to catch up to speed since last week so the first 2 or 3 should come rather quickly :)
Did it ever happened to you, when you were little, to not being able to sleep before the beginning of a field trip? Or maybe a trip with the class? I was like that, back in the days.
Now, even though I am not a young kid anymore, seems like the old habit came back in full speed. True, this trip will probably be a little bigger than my average out-with-the-class-trip from my youth days.But still, what is with all the ruckus? These are not just random worries, these are well rooted thoughts, all aligned and ready to pass thorough and not let me sleep.
Most of them are general ones: will we make it? Will the trip be what we were hopping for? Will it be even better? But I also have very specific ones:
Hmm OK, so first of all, do you have all the paperwork? Yes, checked. All the cables, charges, photo camera, action camera? Yeah, I got too many of those, some of them should have been left at home. Clothes? Yes, checked. And now, I am not going to check that again. GPS? Yes, I have a great GPS without any North or South America map loaded. Great well see how we solve that as well
Mmm but still, do you have all the paperwork ready and placed in the hand luggage? Yes. Weve been past this already. Well when do you know if youve checked and double-checked enough? Probably, when you are stuck at a border crossing. Or when you return home without any problems.
It is 1:10 AM. In 2 hours I need to get up and I am still not even asleep. Andrea has decided that she will not even try to go to bed anymore. She is making the final preparations.
There is no need for the alarm to go off. Andreea wakes me up. Come on, it is 3:40 AM (yeah, Ante Meridian). Lets go!
I pull some clothes on me, going more on auto-pilot, and I feel like smiling. Man, it is THAT day! That MOMENT, that youve been preparing for for more than 1 year. And strangely enough, the moment seems to lack any greatness. What greatness could you find in waking at 3:40 AM to go to the airport and catch a Munich Flight. Ive seen this movie. For more than 1 year I was doing the same thing, hurrying to the airport to hop on the Lufthansa flight to Munich with my corporate carry-on after me.
Yeah, but you see, it is not the same thing. Now you have a motorcycle helmet on your shoulder, not a laptop rucksack, a motorcycle soft luggage instead of the carry-on Samsonite. And you are not wondering if you will be in time in the office but instead you are thinking how easy it would be to take your motorcycle from Canadian customs (I am afraid of this step).
So yeah, it is not exactly the same. It is something different, something that I cannot fully comprehend yet. But now, my mind is not even concentrating on that. But rather it is fixed on the last few days. I am not at all a soft guy. Some would say even that I am quite the opposite. But I cannot help to think again and again at all the messages, all the smiles, all the help we received in our preparations. People from Canada, the US, Mexico, which we havent even met yet, encouraging us or offering a place to stay, or a piece of advice, or even wanting to come with us, at least for a part of the journey. All our friends back home, our family providing so much help and support!
Yes, this is something else!
We are in the car, driving to the airport. Andreea is quiet. She is sleepy. But it is not only that. She is also a little bit nervous. For so many times she was in the same car, but only dropping me at the airport. This time we will not part at security. We will continue, together the journey.
We are on the hallway which takes us to the gateways. We left our family waving near security checkpoint. After months of preparations, we walk into the first real day of this journey. Side by side, two people, a little sleepy and a little nervous, but holding with confidence their motorcycle helmets in their hands. The helmets are the only things that differentiate us from the from the typical season crowds, fleeing to the sea-side.
I do not know how our trip will unfold. I do not know if we will make it to the far South, or if we will reach our intended destination. But this is not even so important. We hope that we will enjoy it. And we hope that all of you will enjoy it with us!
//Created in Munchen Airport, after 2 almost sleepless nights, while waiting for our flight to Montreal.

Perkins 4108 Overheating
Bought a 1978 Cal 39 about two years ago, and the (Perkins 4108) engine coolant pump was frozen. The local mechanic changed the pump and it worked okay for docking and short motors. When we began using the motor for over a half hour, we noticed problems.
The temperature increases slowly all the way to the point where steam fills the cockpit (at about 190 degrees per the gauge). The transmission also gets quite hot.
This is what weve done:
1. We have removed the heat exchanger for inspection and it is pristinely clean. There is plenty of water coming out of the raw water exhaust. There is no water in the oil.
2. We also removed the rusted-out potable water heater recently but left those lines connected to a little heat exchanger that used to slide into the potable water heater. Should we plug or remove these lines?
3. We ran the engine, in gear, at the dock, at 800 rpm for 50 minutes and the temperature only went up to 140. No leaks/no steam.
4. Then yesterday we went for an engine check, motored at 1000 rpm for about an hour, and the temperature slowly and steadily rose to boiling with steam.
5. So, we removed the coolant reservoir. I was told there was supposed to be a thermostat located under the expansion tank, but when I pulled the tank off, there was no thermostat.
We have received divergent opinions from local marine mechanics about whether or not to replace the thermostat.
6. We read on another thread that the engine coolant water pump gaskets are of differing sizes - is it possible to verify proper gaskets without removing the pump to see if that's the problem?
7. The engine coolant is running through the dual engine oil and the transmission oil cooler. A local mechanic recommended plumbing this cooler with raw water. I'm wondering if the heat exchanger is big enough to handle this load, especially as weve read others with overheating 4108s have solved their problem by replacing the original with a larger one.
8. Weve also read threads about how air in the cooling system can cause overheating, but cannot find any bleed screw. Is it worth trying and if so, what would be the procedure.
FYI: Local water temperature: 79 degrees year-round for what that's worth

"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to lose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?" wrote the ancient prophet Isaiah (58:6). As Christians around the world enter the season of Lent, the challenge of the prophets is to not enter into empty rituals, but to recommit ourselves to fearless acts of justice.
This Lent Christians are standing in solidarity with Syrians by joining a rolling fast launched by Pax Christi International [7]. The acute suffering of civilian communities in Syria has been made immeasurably worse by a shortage of bread, Syrian's staple food, caused in part by the deliberate bombing of bakeries.
Open to anyone concerned about the anguish of local communities caught in Syria's civil war, the campaign, called "Bread is Life – Fast for a Just Peace in Syria [8]," is a direct response to the fact that many Syrians feel abandoned by the rest of the world.
Syrian civilians believe that Syrian authorities are causing the food crisis as a form of collective punishment in response to their demands for freedom.
During a three week period in August 2012, Syrian government forces dropped bombs and fired artillery at or near at least 10 bakeries [9] in Aleppo province, killing and injuring dozens of civilians waiting for bread.
On Oct. 23, Syrian government forces killed at least 20 people [10] after shelling a bakery in a rebel-controlled neighborhood in Aleppo.
On Dec.23, more than 100 people were killed when Syrian warplanes bombed a bakery [11] in the western village of Halfaya.
On Jan. 15, 44 people were provided emergency medical treatment [12] at a field hospital operated by Médecins Sans Frontières after several explosives were dropped on a village in north western Syria, one of which landed near a bakery.
At the same time, humanitarian activists in Syria have denounced members of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) for selling flour reserves in order to buy arms. They have also witnessed how members of the official army and members of the FSA arrive at bakeries shooting in the air so they can avoid waiting in line. Moreover, they take the quantities of bread they want for their personal use or to sell in the black market.
Through the "Bread is Life – Fast for a Just Peace in Syria" campaign, Pax Christi International is calling on Christians worldwide to support the Syrian people through dedicating specific acts of solidarity – like a day of fasting, letter writing, holding a prayer service or some other action – in support of a just peace in Syria.
Members of Pax Christi will deliver all messages of prayer and solidarity to their contacts in Syrian and in exile in surrounding countries near the end of Lent.
"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen?" challenges the Lord. How will we respond?
Marie Dennis is the Co-President of Pax Christi International and is currently working with Syrian civilian communities. Learn more about the Bread For Life campaign here [8].

NORMAN – The 2014 track and field season got off to a start on Friday at the University of Oklahoma. The Oklahoma High School Invitational Indoor Meet was held on the campus of OU. The Altus Bulldogs and Lady Bulldogs competed very well.
The meet field was made up of some of the best teams in the state. Running against mainly Class 6A schools the Altus teams proved up to the task.
For the Lady Bulldogs the 3200 Relay team of Julia Pack, Brianna Barker, Grace Hernke and Lexi Herron finished 8th Ahley Hughes was third in the 60 hurdle while Jimmy Dollins was 12h in the 60 hurdle.
The 800 relay team of Hughes, Dollins, Hernke and Zetta McCaskill finished 8th while Pack finished 12th in a field of 45 runners in the 1.600 run. McCaskill was ninth in a 33 field of runners in the 400 run.
"Considering we were going against schools that run track year-round, I was really pleased with
our performances," said Coach Robert Garrison, "The only schools beating us were class 6A programs and our times were pretty good."
The Bulldogs also had a pretty good show for themselves. The 3200 relay team of Gant Duncan,
Alan Ortiz, Giovanni Esmerado and Roberto Rodriguez finished 8th in the hurdles Ortiz placed 9th
Ben McBrayer added a 12th out of 40 runners in the 3000 run.
"The boys ran some pretty good times for this time of the year and gives us a starting point from
which to go down from," added Garrison.
"Overall, our distance teams ran some solid early season times, most of them were where they
finished last year so that is extremely encouraging, " added Garrison, "Also, Hughes and Dollins times' in
the hurdles were great considering the competition they were up against."
The Bulldogs and Lady Bulldogs will now try to build on these performances before opening up
their outdoor season on March 13 when they travel to OKC Bishop McGuinness.

in the 60 hurdle while Jimmie Dollins added a 12th

China has said it wants to work with India and other countries to boost maritime cooperation, particularly with regard to coordinating naval escorts in the Indian Ocean to fight piracy.
Chinese officials said they were particularly keen to increase coordination with the Indian navy, as naval officials from 20 countries met in the eastern port city of Nanjing on Thursday at the start of a first-of-its-kind two-day international initiative on ocean escorts, hosted by the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).
Geng Yangsheng, spokesperson for the Ministry of Defence, singled out India and Japan as two countries with which China wanted to increase exchanges and strengthen coordination of escort missions.
The workshop in Nanjing, he told reporters at a briefing on Thursday, was convened with "a positive attitude" to improve the efficiency of international escort missions deployed in the fight against piracy, through greater exchange of intelligence, commander visits and joint escorts and exercises.
He said the countries had agreed to follow an integrated escort schedule, arranged on a quarterly basis, with the schedule-making being led by "a reference country" chosen every quarter. China, as the first reference country, had already proposed a schedule, and other countries involved in the operation would formulate their schedules accordingly, the official Xinhua news agency quoted him as saying.
This message of cooperation from China comes against the backdrop of its navy, which once limited its reach to protecting China's frontiers, spreading its presence with plans in place for the development of a blue water navy, even as the country's first aircraft carrier undergoes sea-trials.
The PLAN has become increasingly active in escort missions in the Gulf of Aden, protecting Chinese vessels on a crucial shipping route on which China's energy imports depend. The PLAN also carried out a first of its kind operation last year in evacuating Chinese citizens out of Libya, underscoring its increasing willingness, and capability, to engage in operations beyond China's frontiers, although the country has a long-standing policy of not sending its military overseas.
Since December 2008, the PLAN had deployed 10 navy flotillas, including 25 warships, 22 helicopters and over 8,400 officers and soldiers to the Gulf of Aden on escort missions. "It is in the common interests, as well as the common responsibility and duty, for us all to ensure the safety of ocean shipping," Ding Yiping, PLAN deputy commander, told Xinhua.
China's plans to rapidly modernise its navy have, however, stirred concerns, particularly in the wake of renewed tensions seen last year over disputes that flared between China and 10 of its neighbours over the South China Sea.
The PLAN's increasing participating in escort missions in the Indian Ocean has also brought its ships closer to India's maritime boundaries, even as Indian ships are beginning to sail eastward more frequently amid the renewing of defence ties with India's East Asian neighbours.
Last year, India stressed its strong support for the "freedom of navigation in international waters, including in the South China Sea", after the INS Airavat, returning from a goodwill visit to Vietnam, was told over radio by an unidentified caller, claiming to represent Chinese authorities, to leave "Chinese waters". Analysts here have stressed the need for greater communication, with the navies of both countries increasingly likely to encounter each other on the high seas. Defence exchanges between both countries only recently resumed, following almost a year of suspension over the stapled visa issue, and naval cooperation remains limited.
Chinese analysts have pointed to joint anti-piracy escort missions as a possible platform to increase communication and build trust.
Shen Dingli, a leading strategic expert and director of the Centre for American Studies at Fudan University, told The Hindu in a recent interview he did not see any frictions at present between the Indian and Chinese navies, and that it was natural that "both China and India would move around in the high sea area, in Pacific or Indian Oceans, for commercial interests and for protecting sea lanes of communications."
"If India still has concerns, invite China to [have] access to India's ports," he suggested. "And India could have access to China's ports as well."

The facility on Rockley Road is a great school if you live in third world countries. Their treatment of the students of American born parents are unacceptable. Only the student who's parents are not native born get treated as if they were better than the students who's parent are from the U. S. For some reason they don't belive student from American born parents desire the same treatment as the children with parents from another country. Native born American children from parent from the U. S. are constantly ridiculed, and spoken to in a condesneding tone and their parents also. They are rude and just down right mean. I have been watching this facility since 2003 and it has only gotten worst. I did not know where to go to file a complaint, but I do now. I can contact the Texas Education Agency. This facility's infomation is well hidden but I did locate some key factors to contact and inform them of the mistreatment.

A new 60-acre park in rural, northern Madison County will provide needed ballfields and walking trails while bringing in new area businesses to stimulate the local economy, supporters say.
Opponents, however, say they're concerned about the cost to taxpayers, rural safety and flooding.
The Board of Supervisors says the benefits for the entire community in the Sulphur Springs Road-Mississippi 17 area east of Camden overcome any potential risks. After a public hearing Monday generating comments from both sides, the board agreed to file for a $1.5 million bank loan to begin work on the park ...

Entering into business with the U.S. Government provides companies, including those in the automotive industry, with the opportunity to expand their business base, with tremendous potential. Even with the current budget cuts and the evolving effects of sequestration, the U.S. Government continues to spend a significant amount of money each year procuring goods and services. In fact, federal procurement spending on goods and services is estimated to exceed $500 billion in fiscal year 2013. Moreover, the U.S. Government procures a wide variety of goods and services from contractors, ranging from typical government purchases such as weapons and aircraft, to what may be considered atypical purchases, such as advertising, consulting, and construction services as well as mundane goods, such as office supplies, clothing and food.
The concerns of companies who are wary of entering into the government marketplace, however, are well-founded. Government-unique auditing and accounting requirements, specifications and standards, and other requirements have dissuaded many commercial contractors from selling their goods and services to the federal government. What many commercial companies do not realize, however, is that due to acquisition reform in the 1990's and the concept of commercial item contracting, the government can procure commercial supplies and services from contractors on terms and conditions that are very similar to commercial contracts, and the government's definition of a commercial item is very broad.
For those commercial companies in the automotive industry that currently do business with the federal government, or are interested in diversifying by doing business with the federal government, the attached Practice Note explains the concept of commercial item contracting, its benefits and how contractors can exploit this aspect of procurement reform. It contains a discussion of:

Donald was united in marriage to Diane Tucci on December 31, 1988.
Donnie was an avid sports fan, loving the Syracuse University Orangemen, NY Giants and the NY Mets. He also very much enjoyed going to the Fonda Speedway with his close friend, Doug Unser, and playing horse shoes with his family. His 1995 Chevy short bed Z71 truck was something that brought much enjoyment to him. Don was a member of the Owls Club and the Lock Hairs.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Diane; his children, Rodney Giarrusso and wife, Kelhi, of Mohawk, Debra Sobolowski, of Ilion, Jennifer Norris and husband, Kevin, of Rye, NY, and Joseph Bonfardeci, of Little Falls; a brother, Terry Giarrusso and wife, Shirley, of Dolgeville; grandchildren, Stacie Pettengill and Thyamara, Adam and Erin Lopez; great-grandchildren, Cecelia and Trinity; several cousins, nieces and nephews, including a special niece and goddaughter, Dawn Howe; special cousin and life-time family friend, Barbara Petrie; his father-in-law, Richard Tansley; his in-laws, Peter Tucci, Mark and Georgia Tucci, Gary and Joanne Tucci, Matt Tucci, Christine Swartz, Kim and Jim Eckard, and Becky and Todd Perkins; as well as his canine companion, Ukon King.
Don was predeceased by his mother-in-law, Beatrice Tansley.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the wonderful nurses and doctors at the Bassett Herkimer Cancer Treatment Center, specifically Michelle and Reggie. A special thanks to his many friends at the treatment center that made the hours pass more quickly with some laughs. Also, thank you to the Little Falls doctors and the ER staff for your compassion during our difficult time. We also thank Brian Hall, PA, of Canajoharie. Most of all, thank you to hospice and the extra ordinary nurses who provided the family with comfort and care in Donald's final days.
In keeping with Don's wishes, cremation has taken place. Friends and relatives are invited to attend a memorial graveside service on Tuesday, April 17, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. at Rural Park Cemetery, Ingham Mills. There will be no public calling hours.
In lieu of floral arrangements, expressions of sympathy may be made to the Bassett Cancer Center or Hospice and Palliative Care, Inc. Envelopes will be available at the graveside.

New Orleans mayor orders dusk-to-dawn curfew
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu has ordered a dusk-to-dawn curfew as Tropical Storm Isaac continues to lash the city.
At a news conference Wednesday, Landrieu issued the curfew as the city deals with downed power lines and tree limbs and other debris littering the streets, as well as some flooding from heavy rain and whipping wind..
Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas says at least nine people were booked on looting-related charges, but described the incidents as relatively "few." He says authorities are not "seeing a lot of people on the streets and we appreciate that."
Landrieu says New Orleans police also interrupted a burglary at a business, but that appeared to be an isolated incident.
