- Tour operators with summer programmes always struggle to fill the months of May and June.
- It is going to give us a good starting point for the month of May but we still have a lot of work to do as does everyone else.
- I feel the month of May is the most delightful time to be out and about on the river.
Late Old English, from Old French mai, from Latin Maius (mensis) '(month) of the goddess Maia'.
Maia was one of the seven daughters of the Titan Atlas in Greek mythology. In Roman mythology she came to be identified with Maia Majesta, a goddess of fertility and of the spring, who is said to have given her name to the month of May. Since the late Middle Ages may has also been a name for hawthorn blossom or the hawthorn, which in Britain typically flowers in May. Many people believe that the proverb warning us not to leave off old or warm clothes until the end of May, ne'er cast a clout till May be out, refers to hawthorn blossom, but the first recorded example makes it clear that the word applies to the month. May Day has been known since the 13th century as a time for springtime festivities and the election of a pretty girl as May queen or Queen of the May to preside over them. In some countries it is now a holiday in honour of working people. The international radio distress signal Mayday is a representation of French m'aider, short for venez m'aider 'come and help me'.

10.1-1 Forgery in the First Degree -- § 53a-138
Revised to May 20, 2011
The defendant is charged [in count __] with forgery in the first degree. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of forgery in the first degree when, with intent to (defraud / deceive / injure) another, (he/she) <insert as appropriate:>
- falsely (makes / completes / alters) a written instrument,
- (issues / possesses) any written instrument that (he/she) knows to be forged,
which is or purports to be, or which is calculated to become or represent if completed, <insert as appropriate:>
part of an issue of money, stamps, securities or other valuable instruments issued by a government or governmental instrumentality.
part of an issue of stock, bonds or other instruments representing interests in or claims against a corporate or other organization or its property.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Made, issued,
falsified or possessed a written instrument
The first element is that the defendant <insert as appropriate:>
falsely (made / completed / altered) a written instrument.
(issued / possessed) any written instrument that (he/she) knew to be forged.
A "written instrument" is any instrument or article containing written or printed matter or the equivalent thereof, used for the purpose of reciting, embodying, conveying, or recording information or constituting a symbol or evidence of value, right, privilege or identification, which is capable of being used to the advantage or disadvantage of some person. A "forged instrument" means a written instrument which has been falsely made, completed or altered.
For first degree forgery, the written instrument must be <insert as appropriate:>
part of an issue of money, stamps, securities or other valuable instruments issued by a government or governmental instrumentality.
part of an issue of stock, bonds or other instruments representing interests in or claims against a corporate or other organization or its property.
<Describe the written instrument at issue.>
[<If charged with falsely making, completing, or altering, insert appropriate definitions:>
A written instrument may be complete or incomplete. A "complete written instrument" is a written instrument that is fully drawn with respect to every essential feature thereof, whereas an "incomplete written instrument" is one that contains some matter by way of content or authentication but requires additional matter in order to render it a complete written instrument.
A person "falsely makes" a written instrument when
- (he/she) makes or draws a complete written instrument in its entirety, or an incomplete written instrument, which purports to be an authentic creation of its ostensible maker or drawer, but which is not such either because the ostensible maker or drawer is fictitious or because, if real, (he/she) did not authorize the making or drawing thereof.
- (he/she) signs (his/her) own name to a written instrument, thereby falsely and fraudulently representing that (he/she) has authority to sign in such capacity.
A person "falsely
completes" a written instrument when
A person "falsely
alters" a written instrument when
The term "falsely" does not refer to the content or tone of the writing, or to the fact stated in the writing, but implies that the paper is false, not genuine, fictitious, not a true writing, without regard to the truth or falsehood of the statement it contains.]
[<If charged with issuing and/or possessing, insert appropriate definitions:>
"Issuing" means signing, endorsing, circulating, distributing, publishing or the like. The state must prove that the defendant knew that the <insert type of written instrument> was forged. A person acts "knowingly" with respect to conduct or circumstances when (he/she) is aware that (his/her) conduct is of such nature or that such circumstances exist. <See Knowledge, Instruction 2.3-3.>]
"Possession" means either actual possession or constructive possession. Actual possession means actual physical possession, such as having the object on one's person. Constructive possession means having the object in a place under one's dominion and control. The state must prove that the defendant knew that the <insert type of written instrument> was forged. <See Possession, Instruction 2.11-1.>]
Element 2 - Intent
The second element is that the defendant had the specific intent to (deceive / defraud / injure) another person. A person acts "intentionally" with respect to a result when (his/her) conscious objective is to cause such result. <See Intent: Specific, Instruction 2.3-1.>
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant (falsely made / falsely completed / falsely altered / issued / possessed) a <insert type of written instrument> [<insert only if the allegation is issuing or possessing> that (he/she) knew to have been forged], and 2) (he/she) intended to (deceive / defraud / injure) another person.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of
forgery in the first degree, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the
other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a
reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not

A headline on a story about changes to the Contra Costa County Employees Retirement Association pension fund incorrectly stated that retirees will be affected by the change to the assumed rate of return on the retirement plan. Only current employees and employers contribute to the pension fund.
CONCORD -- Following a statewide trend, the Contra Costa County Employees Retirement Association on Wednesday lowered its expectations on how much the $5 billion pension fund will earn from its holdings such as stocks, bonds and real estate.
The trustees reduced the pension fund's annual assumed rate of return by one half a percentage point from 7.75 percent to 7.25 percent.
As a result, it and Orange County now have the lowest rates in the state among the 19 counties with independent retirement systems.
CalPERS and CalSTRS, two of the state's largest pension funds, recently dropped their rates one-quarter of a percent to 7.5 percent, but a majority of Contra Costa's pension board members said that wasn't enough.
"Following CalPERS with 7.5 percent down the rabbit hole ... is not the direction we should be going," board member Deborah Allen told her colleagues. "We should start living in the real world and look at the reality of what we have before us."
Contra Costa County is the retirement association's largest member. Others include the Contra Costa Central Sanitary District and the Contra Costa, East Contra Costa, Moraga-Orinda and San Ramon Valley fire districts.
The annual assumed rate of return is what the pension managers estimate the fund will earn from its stocks, bonds and other assets after subtracting expenses.
The lower return rate means the association's 17 employers and 8,700 employees will have to pay more toward their retirement plans each year to cover the pension plan's expenses and payments to retirees.
In return, proponents argue, putting more cash into the pension system will stem growth in the public agencies' mounting debt and shift a more equitable share of the financial burden onto employees.
The system's agencies are currently paying off a nearly $1.9 billion unfunded liability, the shortfall between the current value of the retirement benefits workers already entitled to and the retirement systems' assets.
While employers and employees split the annual contributions to the retirement system, the taxpayer-funded public agencies pay 100 percent of the shortfall.
"A half a percent drop is pretty significant, and it will result in major cost increases that I don't look forward to and others don't look forward to," said board member and Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia. "But on balance, I'm prepared to support it."
Despite the demonstrated financial benefits, the Contra Costa pension system's rate change only narrowly passed with a minimum number of votes. Labor representatives had argued against such a large drop.
Pension board chairwoman Maria Viramontes of Richmond, who is up for reappointment by the Board of Supervisors in June, cast the swing fifth vote. Her vote came as a surprise since she argued against the lower rate and consistently sides with labor.
Joining Viramontes and Gioia was Contra Costa Treasurer-Tax Collector Russell Watts and supervisor appointees Allen and John Phillips.
Voting no were retiree representative Sharon Naramore, public safety representative Terry Buck and elected member-at-large and deputy District Attorney Brian Nast. Labor leader and general member representative Richard Cabral abstained.
Higher contribution rates will hurt already struggling public agencies and their workers, Cabral argued.
"We should not take a penny more or less than what we need," Cabral said.
Under the pension board's usual schedule, the drop in the assumed rate of return would trigger increases in the contribution rates paid by workers and government agencies starting July 1, 2014. Annual contribution rates for all member agencies will increase an estimated 5.6 cents for every dollar of payroll. Workers will have to pay an additional penny.
The increase is significant. For example, Contra Costa County estimates it will spend $234.5 million on pension contributions this fiscal year.
If the assumed rate of return had been lowered a year ago and the contribution increase went into effect, the county would have had to pay another $13 million, a figure three times what it estimates its entire general purpose revenues fund will grow next fiscal year.
Cabral persuaded his colleagues to consider at the pension board's March meeting a plan to spread out the contribution rate increases over three years.
Gioia said he would vigorously oppose such a move, saying it would undermine the financial gains accrued through lowering the rate of return.

This show was fantastic. The Pageant is an intimate venue and Trey even remarked about "what a cool room" it is when he first came on stage. The first set was very energetic and the crowd was especially into Bathtub Gin and Wilson. The second set highlights include both Sand and Money, Love and Change, but it was the closer that brought down the house. I'm a huge Led Zeppelin fan, and the female vocalist during Black Dog was amazing and brought a whole new dynamic to a Zeppelin classic. I had a blast at this show and look forward to the next time Trey comes to St. Louis.

Melanoma is skin cancer of the melanocytes, the cells that produce skin color and give moles their dark color.
Moles are collections of melanocytes. Normally, moles are benign. Sometimes, however, a mole can develop into melanoma. A new mole may also be an early sign of melanoma. The three major types of skin cancer are basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma. Basal cell and squamous cell are the two most common. Melanomas account for less than 5% of all skin cancer cases; however, they are more dangerous because they are far more likely to spread to other parts of the body.
Melanoma occurs when melanocytes divide without control or order. The disease typically starts in the skin, but it also may arise in other areas where melanocytes are found, such as in the eyes, digestive system, nail beds, or lymph nodes.
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the main cause of skin cancer. Artificial radiation from sun lamps and tanning booths can also cause skin cancer.
Exposure to sun is the primary cause of melanoma, although some patients have a hereditary predisposition to develop these malignancies.
According to the American Cancer Society 76,690 people in the United States will be diagnosed with melanoma in the year 2013.

New employees in Meridian could soon get less vacation time.
Current employees who have worked 15 years or more with the city of Meridian receive almost two months off in paid leave each year. This includes vacation time, sick days and paid holidays.
This was an incentive in years past when salaries were lower. City council president, Dr. George Thomas, calls the policy extravagant now. That's why he wants it to change.
"Now I'm not talking about cutting benefits for present employees," said Thomas, "but for new employees. I am saying that we should change that leave policy so that they get two weeks vacation. They also get 12 to 13 paid holidays. So, even with this they'd get over three weeks off per year with pay."
As budget talks continue, city officials are looking at other ways to save taxpayers' money. One measure being examined is how to reduce the amount of time it takes to hire employees, especially for the public works department.
City officials say often that department is understaffed because it takes months to fill positions that are open.
"It is a long hard process," said Mayor Cheri Barry. "The hiring process usually takes about three months. So, any time that we could cut that down to two weeks to a month to get someone hired to do the work that is necessary would be good. The Civil Service Commission is now looking at their policies and procedures and updating them. They haven't been updated in 30 years. You know, they are an autonomous group so they'll have to bring that before council."

MARIETTA - You can tell when she's up to something or when she's angry.
Sometimes, when irritated, she spits her food at whomever happens to be around her.
Mya, a Red roan and partner of 13-year-old rider Tabby Slack in the show ring, is only 5 but is known as a moody teenager by Slack's family.

"Come back five minutes later, and she's all loving like nothing ever happened," said Tabby's mom, Lisa Baker, 36, of Mya.
Tabby and Mya are members of the Pioneer Riding Club, which has called the Washington County Fairgrounds home for more than half a century. The members, both adult and youth, present shows and competitions in western, English, halter and contest, including barrel racing, especially during the summer.
That's the event in which Tabby and Mya shine.
They can be seen in a show at the Washington County Fairgrounds at 4 p.m. July 13 and 27, Aug. 10 and 24 and Sept. 21.
The team has racked up some impressive times. Their fastest time so far is 16.1 seconds, Slack said. They have participated in three Pioneer club shows and 11 events, winning 11 first-place prizes and three cash prizes. She's already qualified to compete later this month at the Ohio State Fair.
Fast-paced barrel-racing is included in rodeo events. Participants attempt to complete a clover-leaf pattern around barrels already set up on a course in the fastest time.
Tabby's father, Howard Baker, said Mya was born to run barrels. Her father was a red roan and ran barrels, too. Her mother was a blue roan pleasure horse.
In the mornings, when Mya is let out, Howard said she will run the barrels on her own.
Tabby said she always knows the pair will do well.
"It's what I do," she said, with a broad grin.
Slack, of Marietta, has been riding for about four years and also is a member of the Trailblazers 4-H Club. She started barrel-racing in 2012 at the urging of other riders in the Pioneer Riding Club. After a year of training, Tabby and Mya were ready to compete.
"I've always wanted to do barrels," Tabby said. "It's been my dream. ... It's definitely a rush."
Tabby and Mya have been a team for about four years. Howard Baker said the family found the horse in the Bulletin Board. He and Mya's ex-owner brought her to the fairgrounds, where Mya lives. He said it was an unforgettable day because, when they pulled up to the stall, Tabby had tears flowing down her face.
"When we got her, she was untouchable, but now she's the best horse ever," Tabby said.
Although the duo are very close, her parents watch them closely from the stands and keep thinking, "Don't slip. Don't slip," they said.
"I hold my breath until she gets to the last barrel," Lisa said.
Whenever the pair run, Howard said he thinks of the movie, "Angels in the Outfield."
"When you see them run, you think there's an angel flying with them," he said.
While they still have some shows with the Pioneer Riding Club, Tabby will train for her first appearance at the Ohio State Fair on July 26. She also spends some time training her younger sister, Mahayla Baker, 6, in barrel racing.
Rounding out the team is their brother, Kenneth Sparks, 11, who helps with the saddles, making it a true family affair along with the support of the fair board, the riding club and her sponsor, American National Bowling Insurance.
Tabby also is thinking about her future. She wants to be a veterinarian, and the family already is looking at schools that offer barrel-racing scholarships.
"I just want me and Mya to be something," Tabby said.

Nintendo Earnings: What to Watch
Nintendo is expected to miss company guidance on all counts – hardware sales, software sales, and profit — in its quarterly earnings results on Wednesday, as sales of its Wii U videogame consoles struggled. That would intensify pressure for a strategy shift that could transform the videogame competitive landscape.
The world's largest game company has been adamant about sticking to its three-decades-old strategy of making games only for its own hardware. But the clamor for change from investors and developers is reaching a feverish pitch. They want Nintendo to release its popular and lucrative titles such as "Super Mario," "Pokemon," and "Zelda" more widely, and take advantage of a boom in game apps for smartphones and tablet computers to reach a new generation of users.
Market expectations are for a smaller quarterly operating loss of Y9.3 billion against a loss of Y18.8 billion a year ago. That would make an operating profit of Y100 billion for the full year to March look ambitious, and a downward forecast revision likely in the near future. And while Nintendo may stick to its outlook on Wednesday, pointing to the expected sales boosts from the upcoming releases of key titles, investors are going to need more convincing. Sony and Microsoft will begin sales of powerful and much-anticipated next-generation consoles in November, and boast a lineup of mega-hit software releases.
An about-turn in strategy could double Nintendo's share price – now down 13.5% from three months ago at Y11,400 — as investors hope that would unleash a formidable giant in mobile gaming.
Here are key issues to watch:
1.) How will Nintendo's president take responsibility if the company misses a full-year operating profit commitment of Y100 billion? Nintendo President Satoru Iwata's forecast is far higher than the market consensus of Y67 billion. Markets expect Nintendo to struggle against increasing competition from free-to-play games, mobile games, and blockbuster games for Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One, and that target is looking more ambitious. Whether or not Nintendo can deliver is seen as a key test of the company's current strategy and its assertion that its intellectual property is enough to drive console sales.
Mr. Iwata is widely expected to take some form of responsibility if it becomes clear the company will fail to hit its target, but this may not come until the third-quarter results briefing in late January. Mr. Iwata has denied that he will resign, but a strategy shift may necessitate management changes.
2.) Are there any signs of softening in Nintendo's refusal to release its prize titles on smartphones? Nintendo argues that its success is based on its ability to build its own hardware and provide a gaming experience not available elsewhere. It says that sharing that experience on smartphones may erase the company's unique edge, discourage people from buying Nintendo devices, and kill its game franchises.
While Nintendo has stuck to its guns about releasing its titles on mobile devices, the company isn't inflexible. Nintendo has made its consoles more accessible to independent and mobile game makers. The company is also experimenting with different payment systems to make its games more palatable to players used to free-to-play, even though executives once accused free games of destroying software value. Investors are paying close attention to executive comments to see how open management is to change.
3.) New releases "Super Mario 3D World," "Wii Party U," and "Wii Fit U" are expected to give a boost to struggling Wii U sales, but will it be enough? Console sales projections for the October-March second half of the fiscal year is key in gauging the company's appetite for change. Despite negative margins, Nintendo cut the suggested retail price of the Wii U Deluxe package by $50 in September in Europe and the U.S. While the cut is likely to have helped lift Wii U unit sales up from April-June's 160,000 units, there's a long way to go to hit the company's goal of selling 9 million units for the full year. And while the release of "Pokemon" titles earlier this month and Capcom's release of "Monster Hunter 3" are boosting handheld 3DS sales, a lot of momentum will be needed to make up for continuing weakness in Wii U sales.
Nintendo has now built up its highest inventory ever, according to Jefferies analyst Atul Goyal. "The stage is set for Nintendo to change," he said in a note to investors.
Corrections & Amplifications: Nintendo's second-quarter operating loss was Y18.8 billion a year ago.
An earlier version of this story gave an incorrect figure for the operating loss a year ago in the third paragraph.

Ontario County Sheriff Phil Povero Thursday reported a relatively low number of calls received by the County 911 Center for motor vehicle crashes during Wednesday's snowstorm.
Emergency crews responded to a total of 55 calls for crashes county-wide, plus seven calls for vehicles blocking the roadway on March 12.
Of those 62 total calls, 22 were crashes involving property damage without injuries; three were crashes involving personal injuries, one was a vehicle rollover crash, seven involved vehicles stuck in the road or blocking snow removal efforts, 26 were vehicles in the ditch, and three were reported as unknown injuries.
In the city of Canandaigua, crews responded to one property damage crash, three vehicles in ditches, and one vehicle blocking snow removal or stuck in a roadway.
The relatively low number of crashes was due, in large part, to the closing of a number of schools, businesses and offices, and the decision on the part of residents to stay home, Povero said. Those closings reduced a tremendous amount of traffic on the roads, he said.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Men's Tennis team finished a long road trip in New Mexico on Monday evening, falling 7-0 to the No. 61 New Mexico Lobos at the Linda Estes Tennis Complex.
The Islanders (0-2) head home for a few days before taking to the road once again in their next match at TCU on Jan. 30 in Fort Worth. The Lobos (1-0) won their season opener against the Islanders in the sweep.
"We lost to a very good team tonight," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "I thought we competed very hard and played very well in the doubles, but they are really rough at home indoor in altitude. They were just a better team tonight."
In early doubles action, Peter Nagy and Odon Barta earned an 8-6 final at No. 1 to give the Islanders a win, but Pietro Jordao and Matt Westmoreland lost 8-5 at No. 2 while Andrew Maingot and Gergo Weidinger fell 8-0 in the No. 3 match.
In singles action, Weidinger lost a nail biter at 10-8 in the third-set tiebreak to fall by a 6-1, 4-6, 1-0 (10-8) at the No. 3 position. Nagy lost 6-0, 6-4 at No. 1; Westmoreland lost a hotly contested match by a 7-5, 6-3 final in the No. 2 position, Barta lost 6-2, 6-2 at No. 4, Guillaume Rauseo suffered a 6-1, 6-2 setback at No. 5 singles and Jordao could not earn a win at No. 6 singles, falling by a 7-5, 6-2 mark at No. 6 singles.
"We have a lot of work to do, and a lot of improvement to make," said Moore. "We will start working extremely hard on those things as soon as we get home. I like the character and the fight of our guys, they fought until the end just like they always do, and I'm incredibly optimistic about what this season holds for us. We learned some crucial things this weekend about how we need to play to beat the top nationally ranked teams, and I think it will be very beneficial to our team over the long haul."
After the opening trek across Texas to New Mexico, things do not get any easier for the Islanders when they travel to TCU at the end of the month. It will be another tough test for the team early on in the season after two tough losses over the weekend.
"Give New Mexico credit," said Moore. "They're always a very well coached team that competes very hard, and I feel their team this year is an especially talented group.
"We're going to be playing tough nationally ranked teams like this all season long, so we have to improve and find a way to scrap and claw out these matches because it will not get any easier."

PORTSMOUTH — The U.S. Coast Guard has released new records about its investigation into the sinking of the Benjamin Bailey, the tugboat that capsized in Portsmouth on Oct. 24, 2012.
An estimated 225 gallons of red dyed marine diesel fuel discharged from the ship into the Piscataqua River after it sank, according to a Coast Guard report. The ship was eventually floated to the surface of the river and returned to Eliot, Maine.
The Coast Guard released the following photographs of the salvage effort, which stretched on for five days. The photographs were provided in February 2013, in response to a request made under the Freedom of Information Act.

The boat was being operated under contract with Archer Western Contractors, the company running the $81.4 million project, which is being funded by New Hampshire and Maine.

Built in 1968, the tugboat is owned by Riverside and Pickering Marine Contractors in Eliot, Maine, a subcontractor hired to work at the bridge. (Photo courtesy U.S. Coast Guard)
A light sheen from an unknown material was noticed after the initial incident, according to a report from the NH Department of Environmental Services. A small volume of oil was also released during efforts to move the ship on Oct. 26, and another substance was released the following day, as the ship was being towed closer to shore, according to the DES report. The fuel was eventually removed from the ship's tanks, and a vacuum truck was used to recover oil from the area. (Photo courtesy U.S. Coast Guard)

In the midst of the current economic crisis—which is exacerbating previously existing disparities and inequalities in the United States—the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act offers an opportune moment to raise up public investment for all citizens and make inroads in gender equality. Building on Re:Gender's commitment to initiatives that advance women's economic well-being, this project aims to gain a better understanding of the impact of the Recovery Act on women and their families. Additionally, the project examines the inequities in the initiative's allocation of resources and ways to address any resulting disparities. Research has shown that educating and advancing women has an exponential impact on family well-being.

PARKERSBURG - Former POW Jessica Lynch today may still look and sound a lot like she did as a 19-year-old U.S. Army private first class, but she says the past decade has taught her a lot about pain, loss and perseverance.
"No matter how bad the pain is, smile," she said during an interview Thursday. "Smile, and you just go on."
Lynch became a household name in 2003 when her unit, the 507th Maintenance Company, was ambushed in the city of Nasiriya during the Iraq War. Lynch was grievously injured during a 90-minute firefight, and 11 members of her company were killed. Lynch was captured and held by Iraqi soldiers at Saddam Hospital in Nasiriya. She was later rescued by U.S. special operations troops who stormed the facility.

JODY MURPHY Special to the Times
Jessica Lynch spoke Thursday about her time as a prisoner of war, recovering from injuries and what she has done in the 10 years since the 2003 attack and subsequent rescue that thrust her into the national spotlight.
It was the first successful rescue of an American POW since the Vietnam War and the first rescue of a female POW. The bodies of eight American soldiers also were recovered in the raid.
Now 10 years later and set to turn 30 in late April, Lynch is sharing her memories of her experiences, the time since the attack and her hopes for the future.
The attack occurred March 23, 2003, but Lynch said for her it could have happened yesterday.
"That day is still so vivid," she said. "I think something as traumatic as that, it's hard to forget."
Lynch suffered devastating injuries, including fractures in her arms and legs and a broken back. At one point Iraqi doctors considered amputating her left leg.
"That was scary," she said.
The most terrifying moment, Lynch said, came during the rescue the night of April 1, 2003. She could hear explosions and fighting, and people shouting her name.
"That was one of the scariest moments," she said. "I could hear my name being screamed, 'Where is Pvt. Lynch?' I knew, good or bad, I was their target."
Much of the rescue is a blur, she said, and it took her a while to realize who had her and that she was being taken to safety.
"I was still in that moment of shock," she said.
There are gaps in her memories, immediately following the attack and until she woke up in the Iraqi hospital.
"I'm kind of thankful. I don't want to know," she said. "I mean, I want to know what happened to my friend, what killed her. Long term I hope I never regain those memories."
Army Pfc. Lori Piestewa was among the 11 soldiers lost in the attack. Both she and Lynch were gravely wounded and taken to the Iraqi hospital. where Piestewa later died.
"She died in the bed next to mine," Lynch said.
Lynch said she still misses her friend terribly and thinks of her often.
"I feel so guilty that I got to come home and she didn't. I think the survivor's guilt is going to stay with me longer than anything."
There are other pains as well. Lynch said since her return to the states she has gone through 21 surgeries and countless hours of physical rehabilitation. There is pain and other side effects, such as weakness in her legs and arms.
But she has persevered and tried to return her life to a state of normal. Lynch graduated in December 2011 from West Virginia University at Parkersburg with a degree in elementary education. She now works as a substitute teacher in both Wirt and Wood counties and is pursuing a master's degree in education.
Lynch, who is engaged, said much of her free time revolves around her 6-year-old daughter, Dakota.
Lynch's rescue thrust her into an often harsh limelight. She was hailed as a hero and stories of her capture and rescue swirled through the media. Many of those stories were later proved to be exaggerated and some even false.
Lynch eventually testified before Congress after the death of Army Cpl. Pat Tillman Initial reports indicated he was killed by enemy fire, but afterward it was revealed he was killed by friendly fire. Lynch said the misinformation surrounding her capture and rescue became part of the investigation into the circumstances of Tillman's death.
"That was difficult, sitting in front of Congress and saying, 'You lied. You're lying now,'" she said, "It was for the Tillmans, not for me. I got to come home and tell my story. His story needed to be told."
Despite proof the falsehoods and exaggerations were manufactured by the government, Lynch said she continues to suffer backlash from people who believe she has tried to cash in on her fame.
"There is still a lot of criticism. People like to pick on me," she said. "It used to bother me. It doesn't so much anymore."
When she does step into the public eye, it is often to bring attention to worthy causes, she said, whether it be specific charities or the needs of other soldiers.
"I do a lot with West Virginia University Children's Hospital charity," she said. "I do a lot of things in the community. I do a lot of things people don't realize because I don't do it for me. I do it to do something good."
And while sometimes she wishes her own fame and notoriety would fade away, Lynch said if it helps keep other soldiers in the public eye, it is worth the scrutiny.
"I hope people will remember we still have soldiers fighting in Afghanistan, in other parts of the world," she said.
Lynch said all of her experiences, good and bad, have taught her to look at her life with optimism and gratitude, and she remains optimistic about the years ahead.
"I don't know where the future will take me," she said. "When the doors open, I'll walk through."

AG111: Eight Ain't Enough
Redirected from AG111
this wiki
Eight Ain't Enough (ルネジム!水のアーティスト・アダン!(後編) Sootopolis Gym! Juan, Artist of Water! (Part 2)) is the 19th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Battle.
The final battle for Ash's final badge continues as he has managed to beat Juan's Sealeo and Seaking. Now he must contend with the rest of his Pokémon, like Luvdisc who used Sweet Kiss to confuse Grovyle. With two Pokémon left against Juan's three, will Ash be able to win his final badge or will he be washed away with the tide?
Episode Plot
Grovyle is under the effect of Luvdisc's Sweet Kiss. He bashes himself on a column, as it is confused, despite Ash warning him not to. Luvdisc attacks him with Water Gun and is defeated before Ash could have done anything. Ash calls Grovyle back, as Juan tells him he will have a hard time battling in Hoenn League. Ash sends Corphish. Meanwhile, Jessie and Meowth (disguised) advertise Juan's performance (who is actually James). 3 ladies come and one of them saw in newspaper Juan has a Gym battle. James (who acts as Juan) tells them he fought with the challenger and Juan won.
Corphish uses Bubble Beam, though Luvdisc evades and counters with Water Gun. Luvdisc then uses Sweet Kiss, but Corphish dodges and attacks with Bubble Beam, but misses when Luvdisc dived into water. Corphish uses Crabhammer on the water and Luvdisc flies into mid air. Corphish goes to grab it with ViceGrip, but Luvdisc even then moves away. Brock tells May and Max Luvdisc has an ability called Swift Swim - when it rains (and it does when Corphish sprayed the water) Luvdisc is much faster than usual. Luvdisc attacks with Water Gun, but misses, so Corphish uses Bubble Beam on the mist. Luvdisc has its speed reduced, so Corphish charges with Crabhammer, defeating Luvdisc.
Juan sends his fourth Pokémon, Whiscash. Ash decides to keep Corphish, so Corphish starts with Bubble Beam. Whiscash surfs and uses Rock Smash - Corphish did not do any damage and it got defeated immediately. Team Rocket has their performance - Juan (aka James) sprays a bit of water (while Meowth pumps it). The visitors are not amused, but Jessie tells the ladies Juan will be able to be pictured with them soon enough. For his next Pokémon, Ash sends Swellow. Swellow charges with Quick Attack, but Whiscash stops it with its moustache. Whiscash then tickles Swellow (much to May, Max and Brock's surprise) and follows with Hyper Beam. Swellow is bashed (and an object falls down), but Swellow stands up.
Swellow uses Aerial Ace, while Whiscash dives in. Swellow goes in water as well, attacking Whiscash. Whiscash uses Hyper Beam (maintaining balance using its moustache), but Swellow dodges with Quick Attack. Swellow uses Aerial Ace and Whiscash dives in the water, but after a moment, Swellow is not defeated, while Whiscash is. Juan is very impressed by Ash's skill and has one Pokémon left, but Brock reminds May and Max Pikachu and Swellow are a bit exhausted from their previous battles. For his final Pokémon in final round, Juan sends his ace - Milotic. Swellow goes to attack, so Milotic uses Hydro Pump. Swellow dodges and attacks it with Aerial Ace.
Milotic seems unscathed and uses Iron Tail, so Swellow projects illusions of itself with Double Team. However, Milotic them uses Twister, banishing all illusions and bashing and defeating Swellow. Ash's only Pokémon left is Pikachu, so sends him. Ash remembers well that Juan told him he will block any electric attack, so Ash orders Pikachu to use Thunder, hoping a more powerful electric attack will do. It hits Milotic and hurts it pretty badly, but Milotic uses Recover, healing itself. Jessie tells the fans Juan will give the autographs, but if they pay, shocking them. However, to get their attention, Jessie tells them if they buy 3 autographs, they need to open a bag to get a Juan posing. Team Rocket walks away, as the fans see some bottle caps instead, so they realize that is not the real Juan. One fan sends Blastoise and uses Hydro Pump to blast them off and get their money back.
Pikachu and Milotic use Iron Tail against one another, though Milotic's attack is much stronger. Then, Milotic uses Twister, bashing Pikachu. Pikachu frees himself with Thunder and charges towards Milotic with Quick Attack. Juan is amazed how Pikachu had so much energy, so orders Milotic to use Hydro Pump. Pikachu evades and hurts it with Thunderbolt. Milotic recovers again, but Max tells May Milotic does not recover completely. Pikachu is exhausted already and Milotic dives. Ash thinks what to do and thinks of something. Milotic uses Iron Tail, but misses, so Pikachu goes near Milotic. Milotic tries with Hydro Pumo, but Pikachu evades and flips Milotic into water. Next, he attacks it with Thunder, brightening the water and defeating Milotic definitively. Brock tells May and Max water conducts electricity, so Pikachu being near Milotic was a definitive win. Juan calls Milotic back.
Juan tells Ash he turned a seeming loss to victory. As his token of impression, Juan gives Ash the eighth and final badge - the Rain Badge. Juan tells Ash he is allowed to compete in Hoenn League. Juan's butler, Sebastian congratulates Ash's victory and tells him that the Hoenn League will be in 3 months in Ever Grande City. Juan tells May in Pacifidlog Town is also a Contest, where May will get her 5th, final ribbon. So, Ash and May know what they'll do.
