Luke Harper dirty shirt
During a recent interview, Luke Harper was asked if he ever washed his dirty shirts. He revealed that he does laundry very often. Harper reminded people that he is simply portraying a character on television and that he is not nearly as dirty as the character would be. The Wyatt Family member also stated that he makes the shirt look dirty by putting in a good workout prior to doing the matches.

I just found out I was pregnant 3 days ago! I am between 4-5 weeks...so still very early. My husband and I are so excited although we weren't exactly expecting the news! I have a few questions...
1) I feel like I should have morning sickness, or my boobs should hurt worse than they do. Why am I not feeling these things? Today it's as if i have no symptoms...I'm scared.
2) I have a little pinching on my lower left side...it doesn't hurt...but I freak out every time I feel it. It just feels like it's being tugged on... I've read that it could be the ligaments/uterus moving...I don't know...anyone else had this and had a healthy pregnancy???
3) Lastly, I'm not as hungry as I thought I'd be. I eat very small portions of my meals...is this okay? I don't want my body to not be able to take care of the baby because I'm not eating enough...but I'm not craving anything!!!!
I know I probably sound crazy with my questions...but this is my first time...and it's all a mystery to me!
Any answers would be appreciated!

Economic Club Of Canada Announces Its Official Support For Canadian Blood Services Campaign "For All Canadians"
TORONTO, Jan. 11, 2013 /CNW/ - This morning Rhiannon Traill, President and CEO of The Economic Club of Canada announced the Club's official support for Canadian Blood Services campaign called "For All Canadians'. The announcement was made at the Club's Annual Economic Outlook Breakfast where approximately 1000 senior business people gathered to hear Canada's Chief Economists give their financial forecast for the upcoming year. Canadian Blood Services oversees One Match, the Canadian national stem cell and marrow registry. This service facilitates matches between patients with blood diseases, such as leukemia and lymphoma, requiring stem cell therapies and their potential donors. The demand for stem cell transplants is growing at a staggering rate - in fact, it has tripled over the past five years. Right now there are nearly 1,000 Canadian patients searching for a stem cell match.An important source of stem cells for clinical transplant therapy comes from umbilical cord blood. These stem cells offer improved outcomes for patients and are a readily available source since the umbilical cord is typically discarded as medical waste following delivery. Canada is the only G8 country without a national public cord blood bank. Through a fundraising campaign called " For All Canadians," Canadian Blood Services is in the process of establishing a national public umbilical cord blood bank. Canadian Blood Services are seeking to raise $12.5 million in community support by 2014 to get this stem cell bank up and running, which will then be supported and maintained through funding from the provincial and territorial governments. "When I first heard about this campaign it immediately stuck a chord with me and I instantly knew I wanted to be involved. My husband was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2010 so I know first hand how important a national umbilical cord bank is for Canadian's. It can literally mean the difference between life and death", says Traill.

day tour to naples from sorrento
hi does anyone have experience with a small tour from Sorrento to naples for the day?
hi does anyone have experience with a small tour from Sorrento to naples for the day?
We didn't take a formal tour, we simply took the Circumvesuviana (local train) from Sorrento to Naples - takes about an hour. They are frequent, usually every 30 minutes. Costs 4 or 5 Euros. In Naples we visited the Archaelogical Museum, which was very good - allow maybe 2 hours. In the old central part of Naples (called Spaccanapoli I think) there are lots of interesting shops and some very good restaurants. We had lunch at Bellini's which was great. Some people think that Naples is not safe but we had no problems at all, and the people were very friendly. On the return trip (or vice versa), consider taking the boat back from Naples to Sorrento. Costs around 15-20 Euros depending how fast it is.
Hope this helps, Greg.
thanks, Gregg-good advice
the "tour" groups are pricey appreciate your input
Naples is definitely worth visiting, so if you are only comfortable with a tour, it's better than not going at all. I did it just on my own, relying on public transport - had no problems. It was chaotic but I got used to it and enjoyed it a lot. Great food and espresso, as well as gorgeous churches and lovely convent overlooking the city and the bay in the Vomero district (Certosa di San Martino)

Have you ever heard a driver yell "Get in the bike lane!" ?
If so, was it on a road with a bike lane?
Have you ever heard a driver yell "Get in the bike lane!" ?
If so, was it on a road with a bike lane?
It happened just yesterday. I chased the vehicle down and confronted the teenager while he was walking to his front door. The coward had nothing to say to me face to face, even though I was on my best behavior and polite.
I was yelled at on a six lane road (three each direction) with light traffic. I was taking the lane. There is a MUP within a few miles of that location, but it wasn't a connection to my destination.
Vehicular cycling techniques have not been tried and found difficult. They have been presumed difficult and not tried.
Ummmmm ... what's a "bike lane"?
Did he yell at you to get in the bike lane or on the bike path or just yell at you to get off the road in general?Originally Posted by ChipSeal

Let me see ...Originally Posted by Helmet Head
There is a bike lane on the road. You chose to ride in the car lane instead with no obvious reason and without negotiating it with others.
No, I never do that.
The only time I have been told to get in a Bike Lane, there wasn't a bike lane but simply a wide fog line area in the street. It wasn't a shoulder, but a lined off area that further down the road was further demarcated into an "off ramp" (not hiway) that was a sweeping right turn.
This was on a 50 MPH boulevard.
I have heard "get on the sidewalk" far more times on roads where bike lanes did not exist.
Even better: A hit&run driver (under oath) and his lawyer both claimed that a collision with me was my fault, because I was not riding in the "bike lane". The right side of the picture shows the so called "bike lane".
Oh, do tell...Originally Posted by CB HI
Classic.Originally Posted by CB HI
"Get on the Bike Path!"Originally Posted by pj7
There is no bike lane or sidewalk on that street. The right most lane is as wide as the other two.
It was anunusuall comment because I most often hear "Get on the side walk" or "Get off the road"
Vehicular cycling techniques have not been tried and found difficult. They have been presumed difficult and not tried.
Last time it happened to me I was riding to an area I had never ridden before, looking for a specific street. The road I was on roughly followed the river that was just east of it. Between the road and the river was a park area that had a MUP going through it. I would have been willing to ride on the MUP, except for the fact that I was trying to find the correct street and the MUP didn't exactly have signs telling you which streets were intersecting the road running parallel to the MUP. Thus in about a 1-1.5 mile stretch on this road I got flipped off once, yelled at to "get on the bike path" about 4-5 times, and had people lay on the horn as they passed more than that. It was great.
Remember this gem from "bike-friendly" Portland. After riding beind a cyclist outside of the bike lane, a Portland bus driver stopped, and let a passenger out to punch the cyclist. The "bike friendly" residents of Portland pretty uniformly praised the attacker and blamed the cyclist. Their opinion was that cyclists should walk their bikes on the sidewalk if no ridable bike lane is available.
I guess that's one way to say "Get in the bike lane."
Plenty of times. It usually prompts some kind of response. My Response varies with the intensity of their commentaries and dependent upon my moods.
Never, but if I was told this, I might have to collapse in gales of laughter.

Curious but what is the very wide lane marked with the dots on the left? I see no cars etc there.Originally Posted by CB HI
Ive never heard get in the bike lane. Here its always get on the sidewalk or get off the road. I tossed a flyer of hb 389 for ohio in to one drivers face and said read that and other laws listed by url regading bikes on the road. I have noticed a huge decrease in bozos yelling this at me after that bill was passed last year by taft and ive done a ton more riding this season when compaaired to last. Last year i had little more than 1k miles total bad year for me this year ive already got 416 sence replacing the battery on my bike comp. Before the batt died i had 320 something and during the time i had no battery in the comp i estimate i had another 200.
So some where theres something filling in drivers on laws regarding bikes on the road.
As for riding in a bike lane well if there is one its clean and useable then ill ride it. If theres a mup i can take and save time when im riding to get some where ill use it if im on a plesure ride heck ill be on the towpath any how. Seeing coyotes fxes minks etc well i enjoy that. My 15 mile loop http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=988260 has 2.8 miles of towpath in it. So i got flats and large hill climbs and decents and small hills every where on that route. Its a great mixxed bag route.
As for the towpath in general as a way to go from place to place well another season or 2 and it would be silly to not use it while on bike. While hammer heading on it is just stupid you can keep a avarage speed of 15 to 17 and not worry about plastering some pedetrian out for their morning walk or jog. So in the end if i work along the tow path some where i can get to the job faster useign the towpath.
I don not ride in a manner to make some bozo drivers life "esier" i ride in a manner to make my ride more plesurable to me. If takign the lane makes it more fun for me then i will if letting that drive behind me iin the right turn strait lane makes it easyer for me and them then ill scoot over towards the right edge of the left turn/strait line.
Zoom in on wooster road in my loop map to see such a area where this is the case. it has a fairly wide outside lane where scooting over is plenty easy and a car and bike can be in the lane side by side with some room to spare. Other times depending on timing ill take a spot with in the left/strait lane all depending on trafic. If trafic is light im in the right turn lane if heavy i putmy self center of left/strait.
Why take the entre lane on a road that has mostly drivers who tend to be cyclist friendly and aware?
Wooster road has a bike route (and part of it is a marked bike route) that dumps in to it. Drivers in the area tend to understand our right tot he road and accept it.

not yet. that I know of. I usually can't tell what they are yelling though. I got called a ****** once.

Cyclists fare best when they recognize that there are times when acting vehicularly is not the best practice, and are flexible enough to do what is necessary as the situation warrants.--Me
Never for me, but I can't help but wonder how many drivers are thinking "why aren't those bikers using the bike lane" on some roads. Heck I know that's what Id be thinking.
In this example, the driver did not yell at me, but used their horn.
I can assume the horn meant 'get in the bike lane', perhaps 'get out of my way'

Even when the cyclist is preparing for a left turn, or the bike lane is full of debris (that you possibly can't see from your car), or the bike lane is too narrow for the speed the cyclist is traveling at, or because he's approaching a junction and is trying to preempt a potential right hook or right or left cross?Originally Posted by Keith99

Dusty Bodrero: I'm Dusty.
Christina Estes: It's a greeting he says again and again, but he doesn't mind repeating the specs of this prototype.
Dusty Bodrero: The master bathroom is a shared space with the laundry room here behind these draw curtains. That keeps an extra wall out of the house and keeps your wet surfaces in one convenient spot.
Christina Estes: As the general contractor for the 2 bedroom 2 bath, 1500 square foot home, Bodrero had to make sure everyone involved was focused on simplicity and sustainability.
Dusty Bodrero: There's not any windows on the east or west facades of the house, you get a lot of intense morning and afternoon sun. They are oriented on the North and South facades of the house. With a little overhang you can offset the direct sunlight that comes into the house. You can block that, and diffuse the light and get a lot of shading in those courtyards.
Christina Estes: You would expect solar paneling, but what about rusted metal?
Dusty Bodrero: You might think that's pretty unique.
Christina Estes: And pretty clever when it comes to dealing with desert heat.
Dusty Bodrero: This skin has a profile with an inch air gap in how it's broken. What that allows is a perforated screen at the bottom and the top, so that when the sun hits the skin it really starts to heat it up. Instead of allowing that heat to transfer into the house, that air gap allows the hot air to build up and release through the vent.
Christina Estes: Some natural landscaping means low water use.
Dusty Bodrero: It's graded to create swales in the land, to create grading so we don't allow any of the water to wash into the streets and storm sewers.
Christina Estes: Concrete slabs left over from other projects are busted up and used as paving around the patio.
Dusty Bodrero: This is just steel posts with glass, the back painted green. What's happened is we allow the sun to heat up the glass, constrict the paint in the back and make this kind of organic artwork.
Christina Estes: An A.C. unit that's quieter and smaller than most.
Dusty Bodrero: It's called an HRV system. This system basically uses multiple minisplit coolers. There are three of them that are lower energy use. When the HRV circulates that cooler air through the house, it also brings in fresh air to the space.
Christina Estes: The list price for all the latest technology and green design is $380,000.
Ted Simons: And the contractor is planning for a second home next door. He also says there's interest in a similar design for multifamily housing. That is it for now, I'm Ted Simons. Thank you so much for joining us, you have a great evening.

The Reciprocity of Search
Chiang, Tun-Jen, Vanderbilt Law Review
The discussion of search in patent law always frames the problem in terms of producers looking for patentees. But search is reciprocal. In designing a patent system, we can have producers look for patentees, or patentees look for producers. Either will result in the ex ante negotiation that is the goal of a property system. The legal rule that produces the most efficient social outcome depends on identifying the party with the lower search cost.
The corollary is that patentees should have the duty of search when they are the lower-cost searcher. For example, if there are thousands of patents covering a product, but only one producer in the industry, then it will likely be more efficient to have patentees find the well-known producer to initiate licensing negotiations, rather than having the producer search for each of thousands of unknown patentees.
The reciprocity of search is a principle that applies not only in patent law, but also to property systems more generally. Future research should therefore consider its implications for other areas of property law such as copyright and the orphan works problem.
A. The Role of Search ................6
B. The Conventional One-Sided View ................10
1. The Doctrine that Requires Producers to Search ................10
2. The Literature that Proposes Helping Producers to Search ................13
3. The Literature that Argues Producers Cannot Search ................14

2. Moral Hazard and Patent Trolls ................29
D. Imposing a Duty of Search on Patentees ................31
E. Addressing Objections ................38
1. Producers Will Hide Their Infringing Activities ................38
2. Requiring Property Owners to Search Is Unprecedented ................39
3. Preserving the Trade -Secrecy Option ................40
4. Patentees Cannot Foresee All Uses of Their Inventions ................41
5. Patentees Will Spam Producers ................43
6. Producers Will Seek Declaratory Judgment ................46
7. The Unfairness of Enforcing Contributory Search ................47
IV. Reversing Search: § 287's Notice Requirement ................50
A. Section 287 as a Search Rule ................51
B. Judicial Evisceration of § 287 ................54
C. Reinvigorating § 287 ................57
V. Reciprocity of Search in Other Property Contexts ................58
A. Real Property ................59
B. Copyright Law ................60
Conclusion ................63
The discussion of search in patent law always focuses on one particular model of search: producers of commercial products are supposed to identify the patents that their products might infringe and then negotiate a license from the owners of those patents. This one-sided view of search responsibility is most evident in doctrine. As a doctrinal matter, patent law imposes an absolute duty on the producer of a commercial product to find all relevant patents and obtain licenses from each of the owners before commencing manufacture. Failure to meet this duty is punished by liability for infringement, where ignorance of the patent is no excuse.1
The one-sided view of search, however, is treated as far more than simply a matter of doctrine. Numerous prominent commentators have sharply criticized the current doctrine. …

Assisted death bill hits bumps in roadThe Associated Press | February 13,2013MONTPELIER — A bill to allow doctors to prescribe lethal medication to terminally ill patients could be heading for trouble as the Vermont Senate prepares to debate it.
The Senate on Tuesday rejected a Judiciary Committee recommendation that the bill be defeated. But now as the bill comes up for preliminary passage Wednesday, there may be more efforts to introduce big changes or delay action.
Sens. Peter Galbraith and Robert Hartwell — two key votes who've been undecided on the measure — have introduced an amendment that would replace the entire "end-of-life" choices bill with a measure granting immunity to physicians and caregivers when a terminally ill patient uses prescribed medication to end her or his life.

"Where Do We Go From Here?" Teaching a Generation of Nclb Students in College Classrooms
Date: May 2013
Creator: Lovoll, Andrea K.
Description: Since the passing of No Child Left Behind Act in 2001, the United States' secondary education system has undergone significant changes. In this study, I discuss the ways in which the law has encouraged the normalization of standardized testing and aim to answer two primary research questions. RQ1: What do college students and their instructors identify as the key challenges that arise as students educated under NCLB begin college coursework, and how does each group address these challenges? RQ2: What strategies do the actors and spect-actors in a Forum Theatre production arrive at for addressing the challenges faced by college instructors and their students who have completed their secondary education under No Child Left Behind? To answer the initial research question, I conducted focus group interviews with instructors and students at the University of North Texas to understand the challenges each faces in the classroom. To answer the second research question, I compiled narratives from the focus group interviews along with other materials into a performance script that concluded with scenarios based in Augusto Boal's Forum Theatre techniques. In live performance events audience members rehearsed strategies for addressing the challenges that instructors and students face in classrooms through performance. Following ...

Connecting the Circuit: Analyzing Jurors' Cognitive Gaps and Damage Awards in Patent Infringement Trials
Date: May 2013
Creator: Drescher, L. Hailey
Description: Patent litigation is notorious for the technicality of evidence and the rhetoric of experts. Citizens selected to serve on the jury have no specialized training and have rarely been exposed to the technology or the patent process. This study provides insight into the field of jury decision-making in complex patent cases by analyzing the cognitive gaps and the tactics used by jurors to minimize them. Additionally, the study examines the justifications for the damage awards jurors provide. This analysis focused on jurors engaged in mock trial patent deliberations. The story model and sensemaking theory serve as the theoretical framework of this research and provide a structure for support and a lens for analysis. The results indicate that jurors rely on three distinct and dichotomous topologies when navigating cognitive gaps. Searching for answers either individually or as a group, relying on lists or stories, and turning to facts or emotions, jurors navigate through their uncertainty. Through the line-by-line analysis of mock jury transcriptions, three continuums regarding damage justifications emerged. Jury members found themselves navigating uncertainty versus certainty, rationality versus irrationality, and facts versus emotions. The theoretical implications broaden the story model to include cognitive gaps in all phases and increase the ...

This Isn't About Me: Communication Privacy Management Theory and Public Confession
Date: May 2013
Creator: Brittain, Kära Ann Caskey
Description: Individuals at the DFW Church publicly confess intensely personal information, such as drug and alcohol addiction, spousal and child abuse, stripping, and sexual abuse. Using communication privacy management theory (CPM), I examined the way individuals at the DFW Church manage their private information, how they make disclosure decisions, and how they manage boundaries around their private information. I interviewed 13 individuals who participated in public confession, and coded their responses to identify the common themes and tactics for making disclosure decisions. Through this process, I pioneer the application of CPM to examine public disclosure events, rather than dyadic or small group disclosures. I also expand our current understanding of motivations for disclosure; rather than focusing on selfish or therapeutic motivations, participants want to encourage others through their disclosure. In terms of boundary management, individuals at the DFW Church believe that God owns part, or all, of their information; thus, disclosing their pasts is "not about them." Participants construct a new identity through their testimony narrative, effectively putting the old person in the past and presenting a new, Christian identity to the church body for group approval. In this context, confessing a negative behavior becomes a way to build a positive ...

Diversity Revealed: Photovoice Methodology as a Means for Understanding How Teens Construct Diversity
Date: May 2011
Creator: Rodriguez, Stuti Mehta
Description: Through the partnership of standpoint theory and photovoice method, the present study looked at how teenagers, attending a multicultural education camp, define diversity, as well as what the participants considered to be the benefits and limitations of diversity. Standpoint theory gives the theoretical perspective to understand the marginalized voice of teenagers, while photovoice provides the tools to better capture and understand their marginalized voice. This study was situated in a professionally-developed camp, Camp CommUNITY, that emphasizes multicultural awareness amongst teens. Nine participants and 46 pictures were analyzed. Resulting from open coding, 11 categories and 6 themes were identified. Each theme and definitions of diversity are approached with a dialectical perspective, yielding to the model of dialectical dimensions of diversity. To answer Research Question 2, participants identified both benefits and limitations for photovoice method. Additional theoretical, practical, and methodological implications, limitations, and directions for future research are addressed.

Booty Calls, Rage, and Racialized/sexualized Subjects: Tmz's Coverage of Rihanna and Chris Brown
Date: August 2011
Creator: Sabino, Lauren
Description: Internet-based celebrity gossip blog site, TMZ, is a growing cultural force. Employing critical rhetorical analytics, the author examines the TMZ coverage of Chris Brown's assault on his then-girlfriend, Rihanna. This project explicates TMZ's enthymematic invocation of dominant cultural ideologies surrounding race, sex, and domestic violence. Chapter 1 demonstrates the theoretical importance of both celebrities and gossip blogs, signaling the ideological importance of each. Chapter 2 critiques TMZ's reliance on historic myths regarding sex and race in their reporting on this case. Chapter 3 analyzes TMZ's humorous and affective strategies that bolster broader investments in colorblind ideologies. Chapter 4 concludes by examining the interplay of formal rhetorical elements that inform the project's findings. This research reveals that TMZ utilizes affective, enthymematic strategies that camouflage broader racist and sexist ideological impulses that perpetuate domestic violence myths.

Staying Connected: Technology Use in Grandparent-grandchild Relationships
Date: December 2012
Creator: Novak, Hannah R.
Description: Despite the distance that often separates grandparents from their young adult grandchildren, the abundance of new technologies provides numerous means of connection for the grandparent-grandchild (GP-GC) dyad. The purpose of this study was to understand how grandparents use technology, namely text messaging and Facebook, in relationships with their young adult grandchildren. Specifically, the aim was to understand grandparents' purposes for using these technologies with their grandchildren, their motivations for using these technologies, and their perceptions of these technologies. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 23 grandparent participants and analyzed according to the procedures delineated in grounded theory analysis. Both text messaging and Facebook emerged as important tools for connection, as text messaging encourages more frequent communication and Facebook helps grandparents "fill in the gaps" about their grandchildren's lives. Furthermore, results indicated that grandparents' uses of text messaging, and to a lesser extent Facebook, are acts of accommodation to their grandchildren.

Beyond Suzie Wong? An Analysis of Sandra Oh's Portrayal in Grey's Anatomy
Date: August 2011
Creator: Jones, Norma
Description: In my study, I examine if and how Sandra Oh's portrayal of Dr. Cristina Yang in Grey's Anatomy, a primetime network drama, reifies or resists U.S. mediated stereotypes of Asian American females. I situate my intercultural study in an interpretive paradigm because I am want to explore how the evolving characteristics of existing the Asian American female mediated stereotype as they influence Asian American female identity. Additionally, I trace the historical development of Asian and Asian American stereotypes yellow peril to the model minority; and from Dragon Lady, Lotus Blossom, Geisha, and Suzie Wong. From my textual analysis, I suggest that when portrayals simultaneously reify and resist characteristics of existing Asian American stereotypes, they may help to breakdown perceived binaries of existing Asian and Asian American stereotypes.

"The Long Goodbye": Uncertainty Management in Alzheimer's Caregivers
Date: May 2011
Creator: Shaunfield, Sara
Description: Caregivers for individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (AD) shoulder a remarkably complex burden as compared to other caregivers of elderly individuals. For long distance caregivers, geographical separation further compounds the problems experienced by AD caregivers, as they are isolated from family members and support networks. Both on-site and long-distance AD caregivers experience uncertainty; the findings from this study illustrate how AD caregivers manage the uncertainty of the disease and primary care, as well as how uncertainty differs between on-site and long-distance caregivers. AD caregiver (N = 13) interviews were transcribed and qualitatively analyzed using uncertainty management theory as a thematic lens. The analysis revealed that AD caregivers experience overwhelming feelings of burden, guilt, and doubt; however, these feelings manifest differently depending on caregiver type. The findings of this study demonstrate that sources for obtaining information regarding AD and caregiving were useful for on-site caregivers; however, the sources did not account for the needs of long-distance caregivers or the psychosocial needs of on-site caregivers. Furthermore, AD caregivers did not seek support or information about AD and caregiving from health care professionals. Implications for future research regarding long-distance and on-site AD caregiving are discussed.

Re-Branding Palliative Care: Assessing Effects of a Name Change on Physician Communicative Processes During Referrals

Description: Although provision of palliative care on the United States is growing, referrals to the service are often late or non-existent. The simultaneous care model provides a blueprint for the most progressive form of palliative care, which is palliation and disease-oriented treatments delivered concurrently. Research indicates the existence of a widespread misconception that associates palliative care with imminent death, and some organizations have chosen to re-brand their palliative care services to influence this perception. The goal of this study was to assess the effects of a name change from palliative care to supportive care on the communicative process during referrals to the service.

Speaking up: Applying the Theory of Planned Behavior to Bystander Intervention in Racism
Date: May 2010
Creator: Hall, Camille Ashley
Description: Because racism remains a significant issue in society, and many victims of racism do not speak up for themselves when faced with racism, it is important to explore how witnesses to racist events may react and intervene upon observing racism toward others. Thus, the current study explored how participants (bystanders) reacted verbally to racist comments made by a confederate during a partner activity, as well as how participants discussed their reactions in post-interviews. Forty college students participated in the study, and three of the participants verbally intervened upon hearing the racist statements. Ajzen's theory of planned behavior was utilized as a framework, and examination of the results indicated that components of the theory as well as social constructions of racism and appropriateness of intervention behaviors affect intervention outcomes. Theoretical, methodological, and practical implications, as well as suggestions for future research are included.

Youth learn swimming basics, water safety
July 14, 2011
By Renee Reese, Fort Stewart Public Affairs
FORT STEWART, Ga. - The sun peaked through the clouds just in time for swim camp at Fort Stewart's Bryan Village Pool, July 11. The two week class is sponsored by Child, Youth and School Services Schools of Knowledge, Inspiration, Exploration, and Skills Unlimited program.
Children were taught fundamental swimming techniques by three professional pool lifeguards throughout the course.
According to Bryan Village pool manager and swim instructor Dina Reinerth, most children who attend the class have no idea how to swim. By the end of the second week, the children are more independent in the water and will jump off the diving board without fear.
"I think it's very important for every child to learn how to swim even if their parents don't know how to swim or are scarred of the water," said Reinerth. "Children who attend the lessons will learn how to interact with other children in the water and learn pool safety."
"My daughter had a fear of swimming which is why I found it important for her to learn how to swim," said Antonia Stickley, parent of 6-year-old Arianna Stickley, who attended the class. "She now loves the water and refers to herself as a little mermaid."
The class started with basic breathing techniques by blowing bubbles under water. Children were lined up against the edge of the pool where they perfected their breathing skills before starting to swim with assistance from the lifeguards.
"I think it is great for her to learn pool safety because my daughter is fascinated by the water," said Star Smith parent of 5"year-old Madison Cypher who attended the class.
SKIES Unlimited offers programs like swim camp to expand and support athletic experiences for military-connected children according to Amber Vega, SKIES program specialist.
Reinerth has been a lifeguard at Fort Stewart for six years and enjoys watching children learn necessary water skills that carry them throughout life.
"I love everything about my job, being in the water and working with kids is a dream," Reinerth said.
For more information on summer camps offered through SKIES Unlimited, contact Parent Central Services at 912-767-2312 or visit www.webtrac.mwr.army.mil.

I recently graduated from nursing school. I live in Boston, and the market for new graduate nurses is tough. I've been looking since August and not so much as an interview. I have about 950$/ month in student loans. I am ~111,000$ in debt. some of my loans have interest rates as high as 9%! I have private, and stafford loans. I also have a 200$ car payment. No credit card debt though :). At this point I think I should consolidate- to try and lower my interest rates? Im wondering who I can contact to look through my loans and help me figure out what I can do. I keep hearing about this obama plan to reduce interest rates. Can I ask my loan companies for a forbearance until I find a job? Who can I contact to help me with this? Do you know of a easy to follow resource for how to consolidate? Thank You.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The women brought white potted lilies and set them on the ground beside bouquets and balloons, among lit candles and signed jerseys and caps outside the stadium. The men knelt to whisper prayers and take pictures. They gathered in a wide, quiet circle. Mothers and fathers, daughters and sons.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka stepped deliberately in the right-field grass, stretching in the gray, cool quiet of the empty ballpark.

I don't know if I wanna tell him because he very happy and aggressive at times.. I'm so lost what should i do?
How to tell your partner he may not be the father
I don't know if I wanna tell him because he very happy and aggressive at times.. I'm so lost what should i do?
Well, if he was agressive and I worried for my safety, I wouldn't be with him to begin with.
Other than that, I would tell him that around that time you got back together, you had been dating another man too. I think it would be better for him to deal with the possibility now than after he has really become attached to a flesh and blood baby. You never know, he may still feel the same way even if the baby isn't his.

Oh sh**. Tell the truth. Tell the truth NOW.
It would be harder later, and more hurtful for him.
First of all, I think you should try to calculate on a calendar as best as you can, which days you had sex with who and ask your dr. which day seems like the day that you would have conceived. If that still goes back to the other guy, you should just let bf know that when y'all weren't together, you had sex with another guy, It's gonna be hard but, it's the truth. And, if you can't calculate, it's still very important that he knows that you messed around the same time that you conceived. GL!

You should tell him PERIOD. Not going to lie the first thing I thought of was Maury. Why would you let him think he was the only possible father for this long!? SMH

My hubby's sis had this same issue. She tried calculating it and thought it was her man on the side's baby and ended up being totally wrong and her 4 year old son' father ended up being the father. She did tell him which was the right thing to do in this situation. They are no longer together, which I HONESTLY do not blame him. He was not there for her birth or through any of the appointments so he would not get attached in the case that it was not be his. And after he found out it was his (2 months later) he was especially upset as he was not able to have the same bond with his daughter as he did with his son when he was a baby. It's really a lose lose situation for everyone. You definitely NEED to tell him, it will save him the embarrassment if it isn't his baby.
I don't see why it matters who is blood and who is not. Your with him now not the other man. Unless you think think there is gonna be a skin color gap then i guess it's better to tell him.
About the agressive tendencies thats a whole seperate mess you need to work out maybe before you decide to tell him if you do decide to tell him.

It would have been best to be honest and upfront when you first found out you're pregnant. Now I'm sure he's getting g attached and has told family and whatnot. But the sooner you do it, the better. If you think he may get violent, have someone with you when you tell him for protection. (Not sure you're with a guy you fear may hurt you tho...)
