Skip to comments.Don't Bother - US military flawed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy (raging mad in heartland)
Posted on 02/26/2005 3:36:51 PM PST by Former Military Chick
The US military has always been sabotaging itself with its flawed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy on gay service personnel and now a government study shows exactly how much.
The military has discharged 9,488 soldiers for being gay, lesbian, or bisexual since the policy went into effect in 1993. It has had to spend at least $200 million to recruit and train their replacementsmany in the key areas of intelligence, linguistics, interrogations, and code-breaking. The statistics come from a new Government Accountability Office report initiated by US Representative Martin Meehan of Lowell, who was joined by 19 other lawmakers in requesting the report.
In this time of terrorism, budget tightening, and thinned ranks when retired service people are being pressured to reenlist the military needs all the talent it can recruit. It especially needs foreign-language specialists, but more than 300 have been let go, according to the report, and 54 of those spoke Arabic. Other languages included Farsi and Korean, Chinese, Serbo-Croation, and Vietnamese.
The study noted that 757 of the 9,488 soldiers discharged under the policy held what the military called "critical occupations," encompassing not only linguists and intelligence experts but air traffic controllers, mechanics, missile operators, flight engineers, and technical analysts.
The report, which looked at the Marines, Air Force, Navy, and Army, indicated that costs could be higher than estimated because they did not include National Guard, Reserves, or Coast Guard forces.

Meehan, a senior Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, has long urged repeal of the ''Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law. He will file a bill next week to take the counterproductive statute off the books.

I am getting so tired of this recycled news item. That somehow the military would be better with those who are of differing sexual preference. It is about far more important issues than the PC garbage the left spews and yes I am frankly tired of it and well I have no doubt we will have excellent folks join the military that will adhere to the regs of the US Military.
The planners create a situation they know won't fly, then when called on to do something about it, all one hears is 'it's too expensive', or 'we can't, it's too late, now', or 'that's intolerant'. It's those planners that really need to go.
Oh jeez, you're right... this article has been around for at least 6 weeks! Even the wor
From the top... 1.5 million US citizens in uniform at any time, with another 875,000 civilians. The number of people who've gone thru the military since 1993 are obvious in the multi-millions. The percentages of those "let go" for this reason... well, my calculator doesn't have enough zeros on the percentages.
Of the 54 who spoke Arabic... there are (at last count) 1.2 million US residents who are of Arab ancestry, many of whom are first generatation and/or speak Arabic.
Jeez. The first casulty of activism is almost always truth.
Sergeant: Squad... Camp it up!
Soldiers: Oooooh get her! Whoops, I've got your number ducky, you couldn't afford me dear, two three. I'll scratch your eyes out! Don't come the Brigadier bitch with us dear, we all know where you've been, you military fairy. Two, three, one, two, three, four, five, six. Whoops! Don't look now girls, the man has just minced in with that dolly colour Sergeant, two three. OOOOOOOOOOOH!
A bit like lowering standards to allow the enlistment of guys who like to smoke pot. Yeah, there are guys--like the one who recently published in Esquire who squeak past drug tests into the army and while there do good work. But does the Army have to keep the ones who get caught while in the service? As regards the specialties which are in short supply: Is there any reason that think that gays as a group are much more apt to qualify in these areas than straights? Are they suggesting that the Army should consider them like the NBA does black students and actively recruit them?
life was a lot easier when they were "in the closet" and there was a social taboo.
"You know, I'm going to start thanking
the woman who cleans the restroom in
the building I work in. I'm going to start
thinking of her as a human being"
BTW- A soldier, a nice kid and trained medic, who was stationed at Okinawa, Japan (sp?) was murdered a couple of weeks ago. Rumor has it that he was killed because he was gay. He was a classmate of my daughter. I've met his Mom, nice people! Very sad, very sad indeed....
I'm sure a lot of people have been discharged for a lot of reasons.
We aren't trying to build the largest military in the world, we are building the most effective. What type of person constitutes "most effective" is a military decision. There are no doubt some perfectly fine people who are not military material, who can and will find other ways to make themselves useful.
Military service is a duty but it is not a right.
I wonder how many of these people claimed to be gay just to get out of the military? One downside to "don't ask don't tell" is that it can be played as a "get out of the military free" card.
Many people enlist only to discover shortly thereafter that the military might not have been a good decision for them. Seems to me that some people might use this as a way to get out with an administrative discharge.
"Shower and a foxhole after dinner tonight, Chad...?"
"There are no lights at the end of this tunnel, Trevor..."
Well it's a good thing you let some of us who never saw Monty Python's Flying Circus know that's what that rant was all about.
I thought we had another FREEPER who got off their meds.
Not a "rant": just a classic Monty Python skit. :)
Standards have a price, but they are usually worth it. I definitely believe its true in this case. If you let flaming gays into the military, then morale, unit cohesion, and retention will suffer well beyond any "gain". This is especially true with Southern Christians, who make up the backbone of the military.
....like I said, when I read it I thought this poor freeper has forgotten his meds. Never saw Monty Python skit. I was pleased to be wrong :)

Lets see...lie about or conceal your sexuality to get in, get discovered through your own misconduct, get processed and discharged in accordance with regulations laid down before the enlistment took place. I just hope that the military is trying to get them to repay at least some of the cost of their salary and the training they received while they were perpetrating their fraud on the government.
This cost could have been completely avoided if the offenders hadn't disregarded the law in the first place.
So, once again, we discover it is all Bush's fault.
A couple of relevant links:
Criminal Number 18F
Well, I guess we just need to revert to the old system and put them all back into the closet so we can cut down on discharges.
Ewwwwwwwwwwww. :)
My condolences to your friends on the loss of their son. No one deserves to be murdered, and certainly no one has the right to decide who is, and who is not, deserving of simple human decency. No parent should lose a child this way.
I live out of the U.S., and come to this site to see what the issues are at home. Gays in the military is a non-issue everywhere except the U.S. I suspect tragedies like your friends' come as much from official non-acceptance as anything else.
18-year olds go into the military not having experienced much of life. Discovering their sexual orientation is part of it. Whether we like it or not, gay kids are going to serve... if the kid wasn't gay, it shouldn't have been an issue either.
There is no way anyone can undo what happened. But, there are plenty of kind and decent human beings out there in "bubba-land" to help the family through their tragedy.
I wonder how many of the 9,plus discharged military wanted to leave because of their CIC?
"Well, I guess we just need to revert to the old system and put them all back into the closet so we can cut down on discharges."
This is how it worked when I was in the service. As a student linguist at DLI, my roommate decided to move one day. He moved in with one from his class. No one ever said anything about them being a couple. But then, they acted and dressed like soldiers and not queens.
It does make a difference. I never had reason to express my opinion. It was their business.
Again, they comported themselves as soldiers.
If I am correct I think I read an article last week on the British Navy openly recruiting gays. Keep your eyes on the British Navy and you will see that money to replace open homosexuals is money well spent.
I can understand the prohibition on inter-millitary romance (which is also regularly flaunted).
Wonder if folks were doing somthing in the barraks or were found out for somthing that they did on leave.
This whole "hatred of gays" as some kid of religious ritual is just odd. The bible also forbids premarital heterosexual sex in even harsher terms, but you don't find people getting beat up or killed for it.
It seems a lot of people gloss over the biblical tracts that apply to them most and focus on the stuff that applies to others. "The rich have as much chance as getting into Heaven as a camel through the eye of a needle." etc. Just human nature, I suppose.
There are folks who do not want to flaunt their lifestyle. That want to serve and are willing to sacrifice one for the other and further abide by the regulations.
Excellent comment, thank you.
And, that is all we want them to do: comport themselves as soldiers. Military duty is a serious endeavor, not a sex club/one big party.
Heh. Gays at DLI, no kidding?
My experience with that world is that probably 20 percent of the guys and half the women were to all appearances gay. Their superiors didn't care as long as they did their jobs and weren't in anyone's face about it -- which is the way it always has been, I suppose.
At the same time, the CID and the Navy version of same was expending huge efforts to "break gay rings." I thought that was a silly abuse of resources. I never had a gay guy solicit me, and I presume that gay people are even better at picking one another out than the rest of us are at finding them -- so to that extent, it's a non-issue too.
But -- the whole pressure for gays to be "open" in the military is about gay activism, not the patriotism of gays. It's also, from what I have seen, a much bigger deal for the lesbians. Gay men seem to collect in certain specialties -- definitely, intelligence linguist is one of them -- and don't seem to take the "army" army all that seriously. There are probably thousands of them who did their duty and now collect a military retirement without ever bothering anyone.
Gay women, on the other hand, seem to get into the tinsel and trappings of military life and trip on what little power one gets with rank. Lesbians in general tend to be miserable, angry people, and they're usually horrible leaders, but they're good at playing "regulation games." But again, thousands of them have made their contribution (usually annoying the hell out of any straights that fall into the clutches, but no one dies of it) and moved on.
So I can live with "the love that dare not speak its name" as long as it holds to that description. That's a whole different thing from encouraging gay enlistment. Someone else made a point about some 18 year olds not having their sexuality sorted out (which may be true, but what about all that gay rubbish about it being inborn... oh, that's all rubbish, innit?) and that means that your confused 18 year old who hasn't got it sorted out may very well fall into the orbit of an older guy who has got it all sorted out. (Although if he's still puzzled by 18, it probably serves him right).
Criminal Number 18F
It's always amusing when people point to the professional, but culturally and militarily insignificant forces of Norway, Denmark or Canada as a model for the USA. Or for that matter, what's left of the Royal Navy. They're lucky that the Argies tried it on two dozen years ago, because todays British forces couldn't retake the Falklands from Argentina.
Of course an irrelevant force can welcome gays. Who better for a military service that's basically just for show? They've always been boffo in show business.
Criminal Number 18F
That's just totally wrong. I don't support the idea of gays serving in the military, but I absolutely don't support the idea of murdering people for any reason what-so-ever.
There was a case just like this at a Stateside base (Campbell?) a couple of years ago. A soldier in an infantry unit was dating a female impersonator and apparently didn't mind his buddies knowing. One night one of them got drunk and beat the poor kid to death. It was a particularly cowardly murder, the victim was beaten to death with a baseball bat while he was sleeping.
In this case, apparently, one or more of the soldiers had complained about the gay fellow but the chain of command didn't want to take action against him, because he was a good troop.
While the media focused on the gay issue, that was only part of it. The killer and victim had fist-fought before (and the victim had won the fight, IIRC). The killer was clearly, in retrospect, a sociopath. He had, by the way, been boasting about his criminal activities before joining the army (no idea if the boasts were true).
The Army threw the book at the murderer and he is serving a life sentence. The others who had egged him on got long sentences and a dishonorable discharge.
Unfortunately today's JAGs and the officers that serve on courts martial have gone soft -- I would have had the lot of them hung for killing that guy, and I wouldn't care if *he* was the female impersonator. You have to keep a sense of proportion about these things! Having soldiers that kill soldiers is a heck of a lot more serious problem than having a guy who's dating another guy who wants to be Judy Garland.
Criminal Number 18F
Got to remember how many murders are crimes of passion. Allowing gays increases their likehood. All the same, the number of such killing is probably small and the victim might not be actually gay at all but simply some effeminate looking guy who is odd and invites agression. Ironically the closet gay may be someone you would never suspect.
More often than not, those things happen as a result of a "lovers spat", where either the person killed was refusing the attention of a gay person, was sexually harrassing another soldier, or was fighting it out with a gay person - often by proxy.
Most knock-down drag-out fights in the barracks in general are related to sex: Who is getting laid by whom, or who isn't. The runner-up cause is theft.
Not true. The Bible describes most of the various sexual oddities as shameful things. It describes homosexual along with bestiality, both of which are characterized as "abominations".
but you don't find people getting beat up or killed for it.
You surely do, and used to much more. Never heard of brothers going out and beating the snot out of the guy who seduced their sister (nevermind which way it really happened)? Never heard of shotgun weddings?
This is how it worked when I was in the service. As a student linguist at DLI, my roommate decided to move one day. He moved in with one from his class. No one ever said anything about them being a couple. But then, they acted and dressed like soldiers and not queens.
Okay let's get to the heart of the matter. Your roomate was in the closet at the time in a posh two man room situation. Would you feel comfortable in shower with him after six months at sea?
Thank you for your kind words, my heart breaks for the family. Yes, no one deserves this.
How true!
"Discovering sexual orientation..." What a load of bunk! There are men and there are women; they are sexually "oriented" towards each other. Anything else is perversion.
The DLI barracks were 2-men (now person) rooms. His behaviour was proper. He kept his personal life private.

A hearty thank-you to Larry Mizell, Jr., the new host of KEXP's weekly hip-hop smackdown "Street Sounds," for not only playing Cee-Lo this past Sunday, but also playing a cut off his first solo album! I'm not a fan of the exclamation point, and I don't use it much, but in this case it's warranted, as Cee-Lo is one of the truly great MCs--a sainted son of the South, a boogie man (not to be confused with bogey man), a two-fisted brawler, a gold-plated Liberace, a homunculus with a revolutionary streak, a high priest of style (Andre 3000 ain't got shit on 'Lo), and one helluva good writer. I could string together clauses dangerously close to metastasizing into run-ons all day in praise of the Atlanta-born badass.
Have you heard Cee-Lo's solo work? Sure, you know him from Goodie Mob, that A-town collective of MCs who dropped two classics of Southern hip-hop, Soul Food and Still Standing. (Pick up the latter album and tell me Cee-Lo, despite his diminutive size, doesn't tower over his band-mates.) And, of course, you know him from Gnarls Barkley, though everyone, including Chuck Klosterman, only wants to talk about Cee-Lo's partner, Danger Mouse. But if you're a fan of either his past work with the Mob or with the Mouse, you should run out and cop Cee-Lo's two solo discs, Cee-Lo and His Perfect Imperfections and Cee-Lo Green...is the Soul Machine. Both feature Cee-Lo's uncanny ability to wind his voice, whether singing or spitting, around grooves of his own making that shimmer with funktastic warmth. Then there are his inventive videos, two of which from his debut, "Getting Grown" and "Closet Freak," are available here and here (the embed function is disabled). Watch and learn.

The Conference Board Employment Trends Index™ (ETI) Edged Down In November
NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conference Board Employment Trends Index™ (ETI) decreased slightly in November, the fourth decline this year. The index now stands at 107.82, down from 107.84 (a downward revision) in October. The November figure is 3.3 percent higher than a year ago. "The Employment Trends Index remains weak and suggests that employment growth over the next several months is likely to slow again," said Gad Levanon, Director of Macroeconomic Research at The Conference Board. "Employment growth typically lags economic growth, and with the economy expected to decelerate in the current quarter and early 2013, a slowdown in employment won't be far behind." November's decline in the ETI was driven by a large negative contribution from Initial Claims for Unemployment Insurance.The Employment Trends Index aggregates eight labor-market indicators, each of which has proven accurate in its own area. Aggregating individual indicators into a composite index filters out "noise" to show underlying trends more clearly. The eight labor-market indicators aggregated into the Employment Trends Index include:

Fake porn shit stolen from the internet you whore.
How ignorant and dissrespectful can you be? Pretty obvious that you will never get laid in the future and a total loser! Didn't your Mother ever teach you to respect women? Also, if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all! People like you really piss me off and you are so fucking lame...douche!
It's okay dude, I don't really care about it now but I should've deleted that comment.
That would actually be wise and sorry for the rude reminder. No hard feelings dude and not an asshole.
First off this is this models actual profile and her own modeling pics. Secondly, this isn't porn. Pornography involves sexual activity. She is simply nude in some pictures. Nudity is not in itself pornography. Thirdly, you're a complete fucking moron for jumping to such a base assumption. So while you are needlessly spewing hateful comments, others are going about their lives complimenting the model. Judging from the fact that you like cats and anime I'd surmise you're underage and probably a complete fucking loser with no social life. Have fun being a nobody with less artistic talent than a cockroach. Don't talk shit if you can't take it yourself.
Nice gallery and beautiful model
Beautiful pics LillyLeeModel
You are every beautiful, and very talented!!! Love your work
You are SO gorgeous...I have to watch you!

From: Spectrum000 | #063um. Major League Gaming. Watched about 2 or 3 matches in grand finals and walked around booths. Some used them. Most of them didn't.Besides that "fact", that doesn't mean they won't play a NEW game w/o their sticks. If they don't then that's their own cop out on a great portable game.back on track, I honestly don't see it being a big enough problem to where nintendo should NOT release a portable smash brothers. Why would anyone rather have no future installments at all just because of something like that. That's all I'm saying.I'm also not saying there couldn't be a chance for a c-stick implementation of some sort, maybe a new control scheme or something, and that I would mind having a c-stick. Just at this point, it doesn't seem feasable, nor important enough to warrant no hype over such a great series.

Don't Shoot the Messenger
Among the many good points in Jeff Lord's morning blog post on the Delaware Republican primary is one implication that lacks some context. Namely, Lord suggests that John McCormack's Weekly Standard reporting on the conservative candidate Christine O'Donnell is a "hit piece" and that McCormack is to be blamed for the lack of muckraking done on the liberal Republican Mike Castle.
Most likely while working on assignment, McCormack dug up some damaging facts about O'Donnell. That the article weakens O'Donnell's candidacy is O'Donnell's fault, not McCormack's.
Maybe McCormack could have looked into Castle's record and found some similar misdeeds and scandals. Think about it, though, from the perspective of a Weekly Standard reporter. Why bother? We already know what Castle is: a liberal Republican, bound to support bills like cap and trade that are in themselves scandals.
McCormack's credentials as a non-"Beltway," non-"establishment" conservative are not really in doubt. It's regrettable that his reporting might boost Castle's profile by making O'Donnell look bad, but don't blame him -- he's only the messenger.

I don't know if they work the same everywhere, but I'm betting at least some of them do, so feel free to distribute this link. This was made in response to comments from a lot of cyclists that they don't use the racks because they don't know how, and are too nervous about figuring it out with a busload of people watching them. In some transit systems, the drivers are not allowed to help either, or sometimes they just aren't willing to.

Crash.Net F1 News
Razia's F1 dream to be shattered?
25 February 2013
Brazil's Luiz Razia could be dropped by Marussia after it emerged that financial issues were the reason he sat out the second F1 2013 pre-season test last week at the Circuit de Catalunya in Spain.
Razia had originally been due to share track time with team-mate and fellow F1 rookie, Max Chilton, however, in the end the Britain ran on all four days.
The Banbury-based outfit reported the test programme had been 'restructured' as Chilton was unable to progress to performance runs on day two. Chilton spent much of Wednesday working on practice starts and systems checks, meaning he was unable to focus on improving his lap-times aside from one quick run late in the day [see separate story -
]. However Razia has revealed that the actual story is a bit different...
"In the contract there are parties [sponsors] with responsibilities," Razia told Brazilian newspaper,
Folha de S.Paulo
. "We trust them but we have some conflicts."
Asked if this was why he didn't test, Razia replied: "Exactly. But do not think that is it. We did the right things - just that this is out of [our] control. We will solve [it]. [We] need only a few days."
The final F1 2013 pre-season test gets underway later this week, running from Thursday February 28 to Sunday March 3.

X10 Backup
Sony Mobile Communications
- February 23, 2011
( 201)
This application allows you to backup your personal data on your Sony Ericsson X10. Once you have completed the upgrade to 2.1 OS on your AT&T phone, this data will be available to be restored.
Didnt do jack for me ... Lucky I saved contacts to sim also, everything is jacked ... BOO THIS APP SUCKS BALLS
Idiotic program!!!! Dsnt run back up then refreshes! SE and ATT get "F" for not supplying auto updates. Arent these 'smart' phones??? Waste my time
App works decent. Only for AT&T X10. No need to reinstall after update- the new version is installed automatically. Did not restore contacts.
Failed to backup most of my data, didn't do it's only job right, if at all. It needs a lot of work.
Doesn't backup all contacts, Messages, call log Yesterday I tried this app to update my software, unfortunately, the backup did not worked as expected. Does not backup complete call log, messages and contacts. Since the contacts are synchronized to my gmail account, I could restore all the contacts by synchronizing. All the applications were backed up as links and that leads to download and install again from market. if any one is keen on the text and video messages and call log, better choose a different app.
Week cant even use this if u don't have 2.1 week u can save the back up but can't use it. Useless? ?
The AT&T Protect Plus app provides one-click access to AT&T ProTech support.

Timeline questions have plagued the current series of Doctor Who. Ever since the current series started, people have been asking one question over and over again: when are we? We think we may have the answer. *Potential Spoilers*
By evaluating the last couple of episodes from season 6, the "Pond Life" web-episodes, and the current series seven, we think we have narrowed down the timeline. It should be noted that this is conjecture on our parts, and we may be reading the "facts", such that they are, wrong.
What do you think about the proposed timeline? Do we have any gaps or unexplained inconsistencies? We also discuss this theory in-depth on the latest episode of WhoHype.

Normal delivery after caesarean?
Generally, most doctors will not allow a VBAC until you've hit the 2 year or longer mark. Also, depending on your location, it may be difficult to find a doctor willing to do a VBAC. Where I am located (rural Indiana), there isn't a doctor within a 75 mile radius that will perform a VBAC, which makes me sad! I would actually have to drive 2 hours one way to get to one who will. Hopefully, you're located in a more VBAC friendly place!

This is my sarcastic font, since sarcasm doesn't have a font.
Sometimes I hug my own comment because I'm that awesome.
My doctor told me there was no reason I can not have a vaginal birth if the next baby isn't too big. The only reason we had the c-section was she was caught up in the cord--if it had been a different day, she might have untangled and not been in there, so it wasn't like there was a real problem that caused it it. He did ask me to wait 18 months before TTC.
you'll just have to speak with your doctor about it. You could call several different OBs around your area and ask them, too. Some doctors are more willing to perform VBACs :) Are you currently pregnant? I think the 2 years is contingent on when you deliver....For example, you may become pregnant before the 2 years is up, but you may deliver after the 2 years....
I had a c-section due to a breech presentation, which was caused by an undiagnosed uterine anomaly (bicornuate uterus). My doc said I could have a VBAC, but I will most likely have a breech presentation for the next one too....there just isn't room for the baby to turn. And he doesn't perform VBACs until after 5 years. They only asked me to wait 1 year before TTC.

This is my sarcastic font, since sarcasm doesn't have a font.
Sometimes I hug my own comment because I'm that awesome.
Depending on where you live and the office, some places are very VBAC Friendly
My OB has a 15% Csection rate. She tells every mom walking in - she is all for a VBAC unless the reason for the csection requires another.
However 1 office over has a 45% csec rate YIKES! They wont do vbac.
Ask your OB. That's the first place to go. Then find another provider if they aren't vbac friendly.
I had a c section with my twins and my dr asked me at my first appt. with this LO if I wanted to go for a VBAC. I said I'd just go with the flow and I'm open to whatever would be healthiest for baby. At his due date, it would've been a little over 2 years (by 2 months) since my first c section. Towards the end we scheduled the repeat c section because LO was already measuring big. He ended up being 8 lbs 10 oz.

So starting to think ahead in hopeful anticipation that donor #5 will pass. What are some things we need to start thinking about before we meet with our attorney to do our legal portion? So far we plan to address.
* future contact by DC & how it would take place
* us having the sole decision about what we do with any leftover embyos
* agreeing to notify donor if we decide to donate unused embryos
What else is there that we might not have thought of yet. I realize our attorney will have suggestions for us but I'm wondering what other IP's have included.

John Hancock Launches LTC Awareness Month Campaign
BOSTON, Nov. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- John Hancock Long-Term Care (LTC) Insurance is marking LTC Awareness Month this year with a campaign that features some new thinking about LTC insurance and ways to expand the marketplace. Headlining this effort is a special weekly online publication for financial professionals available through the month of November, entitled Your Market Weekly, which will include articles about new market segments and sales tips on ways to reach them, as well as the insights of some seasoned long-term care professionals.In addition to the weekly publication, John Hancock also has joined a number of industry leaders in sponsoring the 3 in 4 Need More campaign, a national initiative focused on raising awareness around the importance of planning ahead for long-term care needs. The company has also co-sponsored an AALTCI educational insert, "Valuable Lessons on Long-Term Care Planning," which will be included in the November issue of Kiplinger's Personal Finance. The insert focuses on the planning needs of 40-60 year olds. "The need for viable long-term care solutions in this country is rapidly increasing with the aging of the Baby Boomers and the rise of the Gen-Xers, along with the limited sources of government funding," said Marianne Harrison, president, John Hancock Long-Term Care. "By providing consumers with educational materials, compelling facts, and affordable products that meet their needs, we are helping people realize that long-term care insurance remains the most practical and cost-effective solution to offset the potential financial risks posed by a need for care." In August, John Hancock launched the latest version of its flagship long-term care insurance policy with a new feature called Benefit Builder* which, selected instead of a traditional inflation option, provides a lower cost policy with a unique crediting feature and voluntary buy-up options. The company expects that Benefit Builder will expand the LTC insurance marketplace, by appealing to younger consumers who may have competing financial priorities and cannot afford more traditional policies. It also expects the product will attract older healthy individuals who otherwise could not afford the premiums.

Wayne J. DiBartola Jr., DMD
Call (412) 221-9440
"I am proud to have served patients in our community since 1985. Through continuing education and state-of-the-art equipment, we are able to offer you and your family the high level of care you're looking for.My staff and I will give you a warm welcome and our ongoing commitment to your dental health."
Dr. DiBartola became fascinated with dentistry at an early age. In the close knit community of Whitehall, he looked forward to visiting his dentist who happened to be his little league baseball manager. He learned the concept of friendly dentistry at an early age.
He graduated from Baldwin school where he excelled both academically and athletically, earning state honors in football, wrestling and track. In the spring of 1977 he accepted a football scholarship from the University of Pittsburgh. He came to Pitt for two reasons: 'to carry the football for one of the most storied football programs in the country and to become a dentist." He went on to accomplish both.
He left Pitt having received varsity letters from 1977-1981. He studied pre-dental and environmental engineering, receiving his bachelor's degree in 1980. He was a football all-american in 1982, the year Pitt won the Sugar Bowl Classic. That year his dream of being accepted to dental school came true.
Upon completing dental school in 1985, Dr. DiBartola opened his first practice in Bridgeville, just outside of Pittsburgh. Early on he realized that a lot of people avoid going to the dentist due to fear and anxiety. Some delay so long that they have major dental issues and in some cases have put their general health at risk. Since then, he has continued his education in dentistry receiving numerous certifications including an anesthesia permit. Now he is able to offer sedation for his patients and this has become one of the main focuses of his practice. His practice has continued to advance over the years, including relocation to a larger facility in Bridgeville.
Dr. DiBartola continues to give back to the community by coaching various youth teams throughout the Pittsburgh area. He became a member of Big Brothers & Sisters of Pittsburgh in 1987 and was named Big Brother of the Year in 1995. In 2009 Dr. DiBartola was an awardee of distinction with the Pitt Varsity Letter Club. Dr. DiBartola is active in Bridgeville, Peters Township and South Fayette community affairs. He is the school dentist for the South Fayette school district and a fan of local high school sporting events. He is an active supporter of Pitt athletics and the Pitt dental school.
Dr. DiBartola is a caring, compassionate dentist who provides the highest quality dental care. He interacts with each patient that walks through the door and gives them 100% of his attention. Dr. DiBartola is a very conscientious dentist making comfort and quality dentistry his top priority.

advice/suggestions on fish to add
My tank is 30 gallons, fresh water. I have several corys, platys and 4 cherry barbs. I would like to add a few top dwellers who are a little bigger than the fish I have, but won't grow too big for the tank. I thought of bettas, one male and females, but now I have read that male bettas often won't even get along with female bettas (??) I am also wondering if anyone knows about marble hatchet fish and thinks they would fit in well? Thanks for any advice or suggestions.
You could try some Honey Gourami. Theyre bigger than those fish but they are peaceful and stay small enough not to outgrow your tank.
I would avoid Betta with other fish.
Marble hatchets are nice, a group of 7-9. They like floating plants around them.
DO NOT get a pair of bettas. 2 bettas NEVER EVER work together unless it is a completely divided tank. They are aggressive toward each other. Males are more aggressive, but the females will beat on each other as well until one of them dies.
What i've done and had good luck with (but, disclaimer, it depends on the individual betta. Sometimes they are just MEAN) is to add a single female betta to a community tank. Females are less aggresive, and can get along with SOME species of community fish. I have one in with cories and sunburst and red wag platies, and there are no problems (sometimes my betta is a bit snotty, but not aggressive). I don't know much about cherry barbs though, so research betta compatability with those.
DO NOT add more than 1 betta. It is less common, but a single male MIGHT work if you get one that is laid back. Unfortunately you usually can't tell that until you put them in with the other fish, so unless you have a backup tank I would avoid it.
i agree about the Honey Gourami. My tank is too small for them, but if I had a larger one I would definitely get some, they are beautiful.

People flocked to lower-priced property, sellers slashed prices, and cash buyers gained steam in 2011
Largest percentage decrease

Largest increase
Largest percentage increase
U-T San Diego used single-family resale data because it reflects the majority of total home sales in the county.
More than 35% of buyers in this category purchased properties that cost $300,000 or less, in 2011, up from 2010 when it was 31%.
Buyers of properties that were more than $300,000 have decreased when comparing 2010 to 2011.
New homes
These sales fell in every price range when comparing figures from 2010 to 2011, which was the weakest year on record for new-home sales in the United States. The largest decline was in the $500,000 to $600,000 range, in which sales dropped from 481 in 2010 to 345 in 2011.
Resale homes
Resale condos
The two price ranges that saw an increase in sales from 2010 to 2011 were $100,000 to $200,000 (3.6%) and $800,001 and above (4.1%).
The $400,000 to $500,000 range saw the largest decline in sales, falling from 823 in 2010 to 670 in 2011.
Condo prices take a hit in Tierrasanta, Mission Valley
Ocean Beach and Golden Hill were among the bright spots in single-family resale prices when comparing 2011 with 2010. The median price in Ocean Beach last year ended at $715,000, up almost 6 percent from the prior year. Golden Hill saw a 3.5 percent bump in 2011, taking it to $207,000. Tierrasanta had one of the largest jumps in condo sales last year, but the area saw one of the largest dips in condo prices. Values fell from $342,000 in 2010 to $250,000 in 2011, or 27 percent. Mission Valley condo prices also took a big hit, sliding 22 percent to $200,000. More than one-third of total sales in Mission Valley last year were completed with cash. That's higher than it was last year, when it was 27.1 percent.
Borrego Springs resales lure cash buyers and investors
Borrego Springs was one of the areas in the region to gain the most ground in single-family resales from 2010 to 2011, rising from 70 to 102, or almost 46 percent. On the flip side, the median price for a single-family home in Borrego Springs fell nearly 21 percent to $128,000. The price-sales dynamic may be explained by the fact that the area is a favorite among cash buyers and investors. Another hot spot in single-family resales was east Vista, where sales increased from 311 in 2010 to 370 in 2011. That's a 19 percent jump. The median price for a single-family home there fell 7.8 percent last year.
Coastal Del Mar dazzles as Solana Beach stays sluggish
The coastal area of Del Mar was a standout in three real estate categories in 2011. The area saw one of the largest increases in single-family resales in 2011, rising to 159 from 107 in 2010, almost a 49 percent increase. Del Mar also was a bright spot in single-family prices. The median price in 2011 rose 8 percent to $1,350,000. Del Mar's prices also held up in the condo category, rising from $515,000 in 2010 to $643,750 in 2011. That's a 25 percent increase. Among the weakest spots in the coastal area: Solana Beach. Single-family resales dropped 32 percent to 139 in 2011. The median price for a single-family home fell nearly 21 percent to $1,030,000.
First-time buyers flock to Eastlake-Otay Ranch area
The Eastlake-Otay Ranch area shined in new-home sales, as new development in the low-$300,000s became available. Home sellers in the 91913 ZIP code sold 262 homes in the Eastlake-Otay Ranch neighborhood, up from 151 in 2010. That's a 74 percent increase. The area was popular among first-timers instead of cash buyers or investors. Cold areas in South County included Imperial Beach in the single-family resales category and Nestor in condo resales.

As a teenager in the 1990s, Wil Baptiste heard one element clearly amid the fast and furious lyrical cadence of hip hop music and its pulsating beat.
A viola melody.
Not that artists such as Tupac were tipping their hat to Tchaikovsky, mind you. It's just that the Miami native had one ear to the radio and another to his imagination.
"No one else would hear it, but I would try to imitate it," said Baptiste, speaking by phone from his home in Atlanta.
Such were the early roots of Black Violin, an innovative, decade-old duo blending hip hop and classical music in a marriage that has allowed them to work with artists ranging from 50 Cent to Aretha Franklin.
Baptiste and violinist Kev Sylvester will perform a free concert at 7 p.m. June 27 to celebrate the reopening of the Bartholomew County Public Library Plaza, 536 Fifth St. in Columbus. The pair took their name from an album title of jazz violinist Stuff Smith.
"We're still doing something that's considered pretty different," Baptiste said. "It's something that grabs the listener. At our show — a very high-energy show — you can bring your grandmother and you can bring the kids."
More than one music critic has noted that they sometimes bow on their instruments like a traditional orchestra member, sometimes strum them like pop artists and other times pluck them like harps. Whatever their approach, they know how to make their strings sing.
And they blend music of yesterday and today with a layering that's difficult to describe. Songs such as "Brandenburg" open with a Bach concerto and a minute later detour into hip-hop record scratches and a heavy, boombox beat.
"Even though classical and hip-hop certainly are two completely different worlds, our music speaks to all," Baptiste said. "We're conveying a message that these two worlds can have a conversation now. And that conversation is Black Violin."
Because of that variety in both culture and age, Baptiste mentioned that none of their concert audience members ever look much alike.
Nor do their projects look alike.
In October, they're performing a Florida concert with a full, 70-piece orchestra. But they've also provided tracks for Grammy-nominated rap artists such as Lupe Fiasco and for television shows such as "CSI: New York."
Columbus Indiana Philharmonic violinist Vanessa Edwards appreciates their mix. She attended a Black Violin concert in Bloomington last year with Philharmonic executive director Margaret Powers. Baptiste and Sylvester will work with students at the orchestra's upcoming strings camp.
"They are definitely different and fun," Edwards said. "And I'm so excited for the kids to hear them."
Although the duo has a good working relationship with orchestras, Baptiste brings to some symphonies a message that's as in-your-face as an intense rap.
"How do you expect a younger audience or an ethnic audience or a person of color like me to appreciate this wonderful art that's been around for 400 years when you've never reached out to me?" he said.
Locally, the Philharmonic has reached out regularly to the minority community. For instance, the predominantly black Faith Hope and Love Church of God in Christ in Elizabethtown has, at the ensemble's invitation, brought its youth group to concerts.
Baptiste originally intended a life in a different groove. As a 14-year-old in Miami, he signed up for a sax class at his school for the performing arts so he could play weekend gigs. But he was placed in a viola classroom instead.
"I had never even seen a viola or violin up close before," he said. "That just wasn't my world."
But once he was exposed to music of composers such as Russia's Dmitri Shostakovich, he got lost in his new world.
"Listening to his music and how his music relates to his personal story was amazing," Baptiste said.
Black Violin will aim their new disc for early 2015, although the focus and material have not yet been decided. It also may feature a well-known hip-hop artist or two. But the duo which has performed for such luminaries as President Obama and the first lady consistently remind audiences that their mission stretches well beyond music.
"If you go pick up a violin, that's great," Baptiste said. "But that's not the point of our show.
"The point is to learn to think outside the box and take something you have a passion for — it could be music, art, science — and take it to a whole new level."

Teachers Try Weightlessness for Science and Fun
Teachers video
(requires RealPlayer)
Sometime teachers get the tough assignments. One of the country's largest defense companies, Northrop Grumman, is sending teachers on flights that simulate zero gravity. The idea is to inspire them to use technology to get their students excited about science and math.
Mario Armstrong, an NPR technology contributor, recently took a ride on "G-Force One," a specially modified Boeing 727.
"It is quite surreal to kind of feel the different levels [of gravity]," Armstrong tells Renee Montagne.
One level simulated the gravity on Mars, about 1/3 the gravity of Earth. Another level simulated walking on the moon, about 1/6th Earth's gravity. Finally, teachers felt the full weightlessness of zero gravity.
The teachers soon turned into kids.
"There was a lot of whoo and screams," Armstrong says. "You almost felt like you were on a roller-coaster ride."
But the flight had a serious side. The teachers conducted experiments, some prepared with their students prior to the flight, including observing the different densities of oil and water density, and tossing M&Ms to see how objects that would normally fall to the ground would float.
In another experiment, called the "teacher toss," participants allowed themselves to be thrown to each other to demonstrate mass and acceleration.
The activities were videotaped for later viewing by students.
"Many of the teachers said they felt that this really would change the dynamic in the classroom," Armstrong says.
Mario Armstrong is host of the technology show Armstrong's Digital Spin on members stations WEAA and WYPR in Baltimore.

Explore opportunities for home buyers and sellers with Louisville Real Estate Expert Joe Hayden.
Joe Hayden—your Louisville real estate expert— offers some practical analysis for home buyers and sellers for 2013
Real Estate expert Joe Hayden offers four essential home buying tips to help navigate the modern real estate market and successfully buy a home.
The local real estate market continues to experience fluctuations that will likely take years to completely stabilize. However, several specific areas in and around Louisville are experiencing signs of recovery and stabilization that are important to note for both home buyers and home sellers. Jeffersontown, Kentucky is one location that is showing positive signs when analyzing real estate statistics.
Over the past year, neighborhoods in Prospect, Kentucky have been affected in a variety of ways by changes in the real estate market. Driving these changes are three primary factors — low mortgage interest rates, high inventory and a limited number of qualified buyers. There remains in the area a perception that we are operating in a "buyer's market," however it is more complex than that simple description and it is critical that home buyers and sellers both understand the challenges that they face in the area where they plan to buy.
Middletown, Kentucky is a wonderful, historic town roughly half way between Louisville and Shelbyville that houses many high-quality neighborhoods. Three of the most popular neighborhoods near Middletown are Lake Forest, Douglass Hills and Plainview.

Hello all! I'm not sure if I belong here since I had a mc in January and am currently on my 4th cycle ttc after the loss. So far we haven't had much luck, but I´m charting and using OPKs and as far as I can tell I´m back to normal 26 day cycles and O´ing on day 12 or 13.
I´m relief to read so many of you are going through what I go through and it has been such a blessing to read some of your post and realize I´m not crazy or obsessing (well, maybe a little :)) None of my friends/family have had a hard time conceiving and feel like I can't relate to them. I´m tired of hearing them tell me to stop trying so hard and hearing of so many women getting pregnant so easily around me and having to pretend I´m ok.
All that to say I am SO THANKFUL for this group and what I´ve read so far! Hope to be able to encourage others while sharing and walking this journey with you all! (plus I love the acronyms :))
Baby dust to all!!!

Do parents have a say in what schools teach their kids?
A new battle is shaping up as the federal courts increasingly rule against parental rights while state legislatures seem determined to give parents a choice
In another case in Utah, parents were upset that the local high school's modernized version of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night included cross-dressing and a same-gender kiss.
In Massachusetts, U.S. District Judge Mark L. Wolf dismissed a civil rights lawsuit brought by parents David and Tonia Parker and Joseph and Robin Wirthlin, who had objected to their children being taught to accept and endorse same-gender sexuality, reports Bob Unruh. Wolf ruled that the Christian youngsters need the teachings in order to be "engaged and productive citizens." He ruled that it was unconstitutional to uphold "the rights of religious freedom and parental control over the upbringing of children."
Doing so, he ruled, "would undermine teaching and learning" in class.
"Wolf's ruling is every parent's nightmare," says the pro-family group Mass Resistance. "Wolf makes the absurd claim that normalizing homosexuality to young children is 'reasonably related to the goals of
preparing students to become engaged and productive citizens in our democracy.'
"In addition, Wolf makes the odious statement that the Parkers' only options are (1) send their kids to a private school, (2) home-school their kids, or (3) elect a majority of people to the School Committee who agree with them. Can you imagine a federal judge in the Civil Rights era telling blacks the same thing – that if they can't be served at a lunch counter they should just start their own restaurant, or elect a city council to pass laws that reflect the U.S. Constitution?" the organization said.
The judge concluded that even allowing Christians to withdraw their children from classes or portions of classes where their religious beliefs were being violated wasn't a reasonable expectation.

Canada's NDP Takes a Leap & Ousts Thomas Mulcair
Today, delegates at the Federal NDP Convention in Edmonton voted to oust leader Thomas Mulcair and have a race for a successor. Mulcair appealed to delegates to remain as leader. Although a simple majority of delegates would have technically kept his job, but in February outgoing NDP President Rebecca Blaikie (basically the equivalent of being Chair of the Democratic National Committee) said Mulcair needed 70% of support from delegates to carry on. Mulcair will remain leader until his successor is chosen.

Blunt had sent a letter to the Kansas City Medical Center after the Veterans Affairs Heartland Network had confirmed a list existed at the Wichita VA hospital and another unnamed center. He already had learned a dozen veterans had waited more than ninety days in Kansas City. Poplar Bluff had a list of 14; St. Louis, 26, and Columbia, 19. But Kansas City has admitted more after getting the letter from Blunt.
But he says the controversy leads to a discussion of new ways and new places for veterans to get care–although he says the VA system should be better with some issues than mainline hospitals.
He says younger veterans, seem to favor that idea…
Blunt says the goal should be for veterans to get the best health care in the best places for them. He says the focus of health care should be what's best for the veterans, not best for the Veterans Administration.

Pain when I stretch or move suddenly, is this normal or cause for concern?
Occasionally, when I move suddenly or stretch, I get a sharp pain in my lower abdomen on one side or the other, it generally goes away after awhile, but sometimes keeps me a little sore, is this normal? I have an appointment for a sonogram on the 18th of this month, so I'm planning to also ask my doctor at that time, was just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience?

I have really sharp pains on either side, usually when I'm laying down and try to move positions. I'm only 11 weeks. It scares me a little every time it happens. Hopefully our doctors will have answers to put our worries to rest. Good lock everyone!posted 09/15/2014 by nicolelee916
I found this.. Pain in Your Lower Abdomen (Belly) or Groin You may feel stretching or pain in your lower belly during pregnancy, usually on one side or the other. This happens when ligaments and muscles around your uterus start to stretch. Most often, it happens between 18 and 24 weeks. When you feel stretching or pain, move slowly or change positions. I don't know if that helps? It's not very specific on the kind of pain, but I get the stabbing pain to, and it doesn't half make me panic!posted 03/21/2013 by Acidulus
If it's your right side under ribs...Definitely check with your doctor to see if it could be pain from your gallbladder because of stones. I had the pain for almost 3 months. When I was 37 weeks I got nausea and diarrhea bad and my doctor had me go to the Emergency room. Two days later they induced me because I had Preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome -- a very severe sickness. Thank heaven my little girl was born with no problems. Read up on HELLP and Preeclampsia and Gallbladder. I am now having my gallbladder removed weeks after I delivered. I was very ill days before and after the pregnancy with all the symptoms of Preeclampsia and HELLPS. Other than the pain under my right rib cage, my pregnancy was perfect. So please don't let your doctor dismiss the pain on your right side!!!!! Pain meds & muscle relaxers didn't work for me. My doctor said it was just musculoskelital since the pain wasn't associated with eating. Many babies are born premature with these. Don't wait! --posted 03/08/2008 by melinda_glover
I wish I could give you an answer. I am 31 weeks along and have been getting the same pain for the last couple weeks, usually on my left side near my belly button. It feels almost like the muscles are tearing when I move a certain way or get up too fast. I'm assuming it's just my stomach muscles stretching faster than they can handle. I've been watching to see if any stretch marks appear, but it seems it's the inner lining of the stomach. I'm definetely going to tell my dr about it but I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, otherwise there would be warnings posted to watch out for this pain. I expect it to go back to normal after birth. Best of luck!!posted 07/24/2008 by jpbaby01
I am also having sharp pains on one side or the other when I move too suddenly or stretch. My friends that just had babies say they went through this in the beginning also. I'm not too worried about it but am still going to ask my doctor about it on thursday when I go. Good luck with your pregnancy.posted 02/11/2008 by veronica10/3/08
