Skip to comments.Bachmann endorsement expected in Romney's Portsmouth visit
Posted on 05/02/2012 10:07:48 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will likely get more than face time with Virginia voters when he visits Portsmouth today.
He's also expected to nab a key endorsement.
Several Republican sources this week said Romney's campaign is developing plans to have U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota at the 1:15 p.m. event at Crofton Industries to announce her support for Romney.
A darling of evangelicals and tea partyers, Bachmann briefly soared as a Republican presidential contender before withdrawing in January after a poor showing in the Iowa caucuses.
An endorsement from her could lend some social conservative credentials to Romney as he tries to better connect with that part of the Republican base and overcome criticism that he's a moderate.
If it comes, it would follow the backing of another Minnesotan and onetime presidential contender: Last year, former Gov. Tim Pawlenty declared his support for Romney after dropping out of the race.
And, if history is a guide, more former Romney rivals are likely to provide public offerings of support as the GOP seeks to unify its factions and energize voters for the fall campaign against President Barack Obama.
Word of Bachmann's potential appearance came from several ranking Virginia Republican officials with knowledge of the evolving plans who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
One source said Tuesday that Bachmann's presence at Romney's Portsmouth visit, which is open to the public, was all but assured after the event was announced.
Another told The Virginian-Pilot on Wednesday that there's a 90 percent chance she'll be there.
Also scheduled to be on hand is Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, who has already endorsed the former Massachusetts governor and has been mentioned as a possible running mate for him.
McDonnell's office declined comment Wednesday when asked about Bachmann, as did Romney's campaign. Bachmann's staff replied to an initial email inquiry but didn't offer further response to a question about whether she'll endorse Romney.
Romney swooped into Northern Virginia on Wednesday to discuss the economy at a morning event and attend an evening fundraiser.
Speaking at the offices of a Chantilly company specializing in trade show exhibit services, Romney spoke about the virtues of small businesses and said Obama's policies have hurt them, according to The Associated Press.
After his Portsmouth visit today, Romney is scheduled to return to the state next week to deliver a commencement address at Liberty University.
Bachmann, meanwhile, is booked as the keynote speaker for Regent University's commencement Saturday morning in Virginia Beach.
That day, Obama will headline a campaign kick-off rally at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.
The Romney and Obama visits this week portend much campaign activity ahead in Virginia as both candidates pursue the 13 electoral votes in this critical battleground state.
Why is everyone concerned with Bachmann's endorsement?
Newt's endorsed him and Santo and Palin are next.
I wonder why stalking horse waited this long?
...and they are doing it because that is what we are left with should he clinch the nomination, and they believe and know, despite his obvious warts, he will be better for the country than Obama.
...and despite the warts, I pray they are right because Obama is actively making great strides toward destroying the Republic for sure.
The GOP is almost completely bereft of any moral leadership.
It's as plain as the nose on your face.
The only way someone can miss it at this point is to shut their eyes.
Obama has to go!
We'll fight tomorrow.
We are the moral leadership and we cant just hand it over to Obama.
I think we are angry at the business as usual, protocols as usual, and the RINO cram down as usual.
These were all suppose to be the people who said the were on to the game and were in it to change the game. On a wing and a prayer we hoped they meant it and believed they could prove it. They didn't.
As soon as they were out of the game they went silent, joined the rest of the forces on the sidelines waiting on Romney to kill off the conservatives remaining. Silence is consent. It was expedient and expected, but it was wrong.
We are the moral leadership and we cant just hand it over to Obama.
I could never look at myself in the mirror if I didn't do everything possible, which includes voting for Romney, to defeat the evil America hating man called Barack Hussein Obama.
We are in an extremely bad predicament.
If by that you mean support a socialist pro-choice democrat with a Republican label, my answer is in my tagline.
I agree.
And put the fire to Mitts feet with the down ballot votes.
You think you have it bad...
When I go to vote.. I'll have to look long and hard at that ballot. Both Mitt and Michele will be on mine...
Mitt has a very long (I'll say at this point unpassiable) road in front of him with me.
Michele.. if she comes out for Mitt might just find herself on that same road.
I'm done selling out for the GOP.
And no. I won't be voting for Obama either.
I Say its better than electing communist by sitting it out.
I will grit my teeth and vote for Romney.
I detest everything 0bama too much not to.
Who said anything about sitting anything out? That's a dishonest meme used against those who refuse to vote for a socialist just because he has an R by his name.
I hear ya.
I made up my mind a few years back. If they won't keep the most basic obligations of the oath via the policies they support, they ain't getting any aid and comfort from me, much less my vote.
And until conservatives start holding them accountable for the politicians they endorse, not much is going to change. That's a big part of the equation.
If I was in your shoes, I could not vote for Bachmann. To do so would violate the promises I've made.
Vote down ballot and up ballot.
Yep, it's time to do this thing.
This is a war, and in war one can expect to have to do things one does not want to do.
There is no time for complaints, there is no time for weakness, this is the time for guts and mettle.
Down with Barack Hussein Obama, the America hating muslim communist!
If/when Romney is elected, he'll have both feet held to the fire and will be given no quarter. He'll be under seige by us. He'll be very uncomfortable if/when he strays.
I still blame George Bush for allowing 0bama to get as far as the nomination. Bush had the intelligence on the evil bastard and did nothing. Bush could have exposed him.Bush allowed an avowed enemy of the United States to infest our White House.
But Bush is part of the Oligarchy now running this country and wanted to be allowed to live for another 25 years or so.
Romney would/will slow down the train wreck. 0bama is putting both feet on the accelerator.
We're screwed, folks.
At least our side will be better prepared for when TSHTF.
Bush broke his oath.
That's right. Start at the lowest local level and go up from there.
I don't think I'll be clicking on that. Thanks.
Naive, at best. Romney's ascension is creating a whole new crop of Romney Republicans, right now. And a very big crop it is. Well-funded, and just as deceptive and unprincipled as he is.
In the highly unlikely event Romney does win, the Congress will almost certainly be more liberal than ever. They won't be holding his feet to the fire. They will be doing his bidding.
Obama has to go!
Well fight tomorrow.
Voting for Liberal Romney is like taking a d*ck in the @ss.
Not me brother!
"I could never look at myself in the mirror if I didnt do everything possible, which includes voting for Romney, to defeat the evil America hating man called Barack Hussein Obama."
I agree - his evil is unspeakable and helping him to finish our destruction is unthinkable.
It makes me heartsick that we're stuck with Mittens as the one to go up against The Wan for so many reasons, the primary one being that I don't think he can win. If he wimps out as McLame did, and BHO is re-elected, there may well be a revolution.
Milt=George H.W. Bush without the military heroism, diplomatic and CIA experience.
I love my country more than I dislike Mitt.
I remember Pat Paulsen running for pres. Funny stuff. My favorite quote:
"But the fact that I am also a liar doesn't make me a candidate."
Hopefully conservatives will vote for Virgil Goode. We can't vote for a liberal Republican. It is just not the right thing to do.
So "how it goes" is symptom of a broken electorate system. Romney endorsements on par with Obama's in 2008. The system allows no dissenting voice. And makes sure those who were actively attacking said candidate then endorse him even when a few of them did not agree with the said candidate. The public is not dumb and those who support the endorser because he attacked the said candidate will not quickly turn around and just forget all the crap the said candidate did. It is a two way street. We are not Puppets. The system is rigged.
No thanks, naps.
I want to defeat Obama, not myself.
I love my country more than I dislike Mitt.
Exactly. And some on FR seem to equate Mitt and 0bama. It is sickening.
We are now living in a totally corrupt Oligarchy dominated by Marxist ideology.
The American "Nomenclatura" is now in place.
We've lost our Republic.
When/if 0bama is re-elected, we're going to see some unpleasant things. Many people are not going to sit idly by as their beloved country is destroyed before their eyes.
If he wimps out as McLame did, and BHO is re-elected, there may well be a revolution.
Many of us will not sit idly by as our beloved country is destroyed before our eyes. 0bama will go all out to destroy us.
Well, if you think we've already lost our Republic your capitulation to a socialist with an R by his name makes even less sense.
"Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
-- Winston Churchill
Well, if you think weve already lost our Republic your capitulation to a socialist with an R by his name makes even less sense.
We're in an Oligarchy. We're no longer living in a Republic.
You are presumptious and arrogant. Don't accuse me of not fighting the bastards.
You are one arrogant ass.
There's a very stirring tea party speaker on cspan now, Rev. C.L. Bryant. Try to watch (it's from 6:08 central until 6:59) - he's a rousing black conservative and SO worth hearing - once it's over, just go to the cspan online schedule and click to watch. He warns about all the enemies we face, foreign and domestic. He said he had to give up the church he pastored due to his convictions - the deacons told him they didn't like that "tea party stuff".
This man is a brave patriot - he and Matt Kibbe made a movie Runaway Slave, and they started the first tea party in Israel recently!
Will check it out. Thanks much, llandres.
You're so welcome - it's the pep talk we all need right now. You'll like it!

By Anna Nordberg
The sun is out. Sea air blows in through the rolled-down window. And there's nothing but plate-glass blue Pacific alongside us. My husband, Brant, and I are cruising the rugged, cliff-hugging highway on California's Central Coast—aka the stuff of road-trip dreams. Where you drive for miles upon miles, not even braking for traffic. Life is good.
Then we barrel past a sign that on any other excursion would be casually ignored—perhaps barely noted. It looked something like this.
I look at my husband. I look at the road.
He grips the wheel, stony-faced. We're towing a 23-foot Airstream trailer with a rig that would be right at home at a monster-truck rally—headlights that could freeze a herd of deer, tires the size of Texas. As we roar onto this white-knuckle stretch of Highway 1 north of San Simeon, all hairpin turns and glorious views of Big Sur, I have a moment of longing for my Volvo.
Airstream boot camp
Maybe I had watched one too many episodes of Mad Men or ordered one too many Prohibition-era cocktails, but I became romanced by an idea that has been sweeping the nation: retroism. Which is how I ended up driving a retro icon—the Airstream—up a highway that looks like the backdrop for a Hitchcock chase scene.
It took several weeks of planning, but when we picked up the Airstream at a lot in Los Angeles, it gleamed at us like an airplane fuselage. As I opened the floor-to-ceiling drawers, turned on the saucer-size gas burners, and peeked in the tiny shower (you could stand up in it!), the effect was like being in a shiny, ergonomic playhouse designed by NASA. I mean, this thing was cool.
Man Skills—my nickname for my husband, since he can change a flat and back our SUV into a space the size of a mailbox, all strengths I could tell were going to come in handy—seemed equally excited. He nodded and asked pertinent questions as our Airstream expert showed us how to dump our sewage tanks and walked us through the Manhattan Project of hitches.
Lessons absorbed, Man Skills took the wheel as we chugged up the entry ramp toward the freeway. The Ford F-250 Super Duty pulled the trailer as if it were a toaster, and I kept tabs on our side mirrors, which was easy because they're the size of large flat-screen TVs. A team dynamic emerged: I checked for blind spots and rogue cars. Man Skills did everything else as we headed toward our goal: Kirk Creek campground in Big Sur, the creek itself taking on Shangri-la status the more hours we logged behind the wheel.
Going native
I've heard that RVing has its own instant community. True to nature, at our first stop, in Ocean Mesa RV Resort near Santa Barbara, a friendly ex-trucker takes pity on us after our third attempt to back into our space goes awry. Rick is tall and built like a linebacker, and he tows a trailer twice as long as ours. We hang on his every word. After teaching us the hand signals for successful husband-and-wife reversing (a fist for stop, a beckoning motion for go), he invites us back to his RV, which could easily be mistaken for a large house. Before we leave, Rick and his wife, Susan, pile us up with firewood to put in front of our trailer tires ("You can't believe what I've seen rolling away").
After we make sure our trailer won't end up in somebody's backyard, I cook a one-pot dinner of lemon chicken and wilted spinach, and we eat in the Airstream's retro dinette, feeling like passengers in a first-class train cabin circa 1955. The following morning, drinking coffee outside in the 8 a.m. quiet, I get the same nature rush I usually feel after a night of camping—except the coffee I'm drinking came from a percolator and I slept in a dry, mostly comfortable (albeit U-shaped) bed. I'm beginning to get the appeal of this genre of "camping."

Wanted Liberty man charged with commercial burglary
May 14, 2013 —
At approximately 6:00am on May 10th, 2013 the Village of Liberty Police responded to a report of two suspicious men near a gas station on North Main Street in the Village of Liberty. A concerned citizen told police he saw two men wearing ski masks and bandanas asking people for money.
Upon officers arrival they immediately recognized one of the suspects as Laron Dinkins, 20 of Liberty who had an active warrant out of the Town of Liberty Court for criminal trespass. Upon being approached by officers both suspects fled on foot and Dinkins was apprehended after tossing an imitation revolver BB gun during the pursuit.
While Dinkins was at the police station being processed the owner of an auction house in the Village of Liberty opened up his store at around 9 am and found that overnight his store had been burglarized and that a .22 caliber rifle and a "Daisy" revolver style BB gun had been stolen.
An investigation revealed that Dinkins had burglarized the auction house earlier that night. Dinkins was charged with Burglary in the 3rd degree, grand larceny in the 4th degree, and tampering with physical evidence, felonies and petit larceny, obstructing governmental administration in the 2nd degree and resisting arrest, misdemeanors. Dinkins was arraigned in the Town of Liberty Court and remanded to Sullivan County Jail in lieu of $25,000 bail.

Rated 4.2 out of 5Â by 133 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LJR brings back memories of long ago it took a couple of ttys to get the correct size....they were miss marked...not the Vermont Store mistake....Now they are on my bed and wonderful....I love the cold crisp feel. October 14, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Redmimi Hallelujah! Finally some 100% cotton sheets! Since we live in Texas, we have more warm weather, and an extended summer....and don't want hot polyester sheets! I don't mind the wrinkles, but I'd love to find a laundry that still does "flat work." That would be heaven! October 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Gypsy10 Love these sheets I bought a set about 10 years ago and I still love these sheets. I know I'm probably the only person on the planet who loves to iron and I must say these sheets/pillowcases iron beautifully. When they were new and for a while afterward, I think I could even smell "line dried" scent. Now, I spritz them with lavender scented linen water and they feel and smell so wonderful. September 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Anne B. Terrific sheets These sheets launder beautifully and are comfortable on hot, muggy nights. I just bought 3 more sets to make sure that all the beds in the house will have them. September 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by JTB Clothesline Crisp sheet set Great sheets. Remind me of when I was a child. Only one suggestion; make the top sheet wider. With the larger mattresses(queen), the sheets are too narrow to tuck under the mattress and stay. I have had to pull more of the sheet onto one side to remain tucked in during the night. September 12, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Tennesseehome Best sheets ever! For years I've been looking for the perfect sheets. Crisp, yet soft, and thicker. I am in love with these and will be ordering many more in the future. They are 1/3 of the cost of the last sheets I bought that even came close to this quality. I will never buy any other brand. September 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by piper847 Crisp sheets They are perfect,not the first set I have bought..I just wish the bottom sheet fit a bit tighter... September 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by i.greyhound Great Product I was raised on premium cotton sheets and have been looking for years for a product comparable to my Grandmother's sheets. I know many other women have been too. Generous sizing fits today's mattresses, no more having to use mattress cover pins to keep the sheets on the bed. The sheets feel like cotton sheets should, not the worn out feel that many of today's sheets. True one should wash the sheets before using but that is my usual practice. I still hang my sheets on the line to dry, I have a thing about having ultra-violet killing bacteria, but I believe that they could be dried in a dryer. Thank you for stocking this quality of sheet.

The Department of Education unexpectedly cut about a hundred public school bus routes last month.
That sent many families scrambling to arrange for other ways for their children to get to class this week.
To ease the transition, the city stepped in offering to add buses where it could.
So when thousands of students returned to campus Monday, no one was sure what to expect.
The new man in charge of student transportation, who has only been on the job a month, acknowledged the news caught many parents by surprise.
"This was kind of an abrupt set of circumstances with this school year," said Asst. Superintendent Ray L'Heureux.
But L'Heureux isn't the only one watching closely this week.
The city added more buses in the Kapolei, Mililani, Ewa, Waipahu and Pearl City areas anticipating higher ridership which has materialized in some areas, but not others.
"We are watching the crowding on the buses. and certainly we are seeing more students on the buses and we didn't add service to all the areas, so we are watching all of our buses to see which ones are picking up loads that are too heavy and where we should adjust," said City Transportation Director Wayne Yoshioka.
The DOE said it expects it may be about a month before it has a good handle on
how much of an issue the school bus cuts will be.
"Some parents are still perhaps are still driving their kids to school, but we've got to give it a month before we can look at it analytically. Do we have the right ridership, the right routes and the right spots?" said L'Heureux.
L'Heureux said the DOE is fielding complaints from Mililani, Halawa Heights, and Aeia about the lack of service.
"Aiea is difficult because some of our routes don't exactly service those areas that need servicing directly. The Federal Transportation Administration rules directly prohibits us from directly servicing the schools, because we are not supposed to compete with public school buses, so we are limited to altering frequency of the ones that we already have in place," Yoshioka said.
The city expects to tweak its schedule as private school and university students head back to class later this month.
The DOE said it continues to work to find a long term solution to its transportation woes.

Hi all, this is my first post! Though I've been on looking at the conversations getting myself ready for returning to work...
That was about six weeks ago, and despite my preparation, the experience wasn't great, mostly because the pumping facilities are pretty rubbish. I work for a very large company in England (born in Tenn though), and though I didn't want to make a fuss, I started making some small enquiries about who owns our family friendly policy--I was going to send them an email to say 'this is what happened; does it sound very family friendly to you?'
I've had a curious response: they want to know exactly what the ideal returning to work experience would be like. This isn't just about BF rights, it's the whole returning to work after maternity situation they're interested in. We're very lucky and get long maternity leave, so that's not really a problem. But it's just too good an opportunity to change things to limit it to what I can come up with--my boss even wants me to take this on as part of my actual job responsibilities!!!
For a start I think we ought to be put in touch with other mothers who are returning... But what more? Few of us want to return to work, but once we do it, what could our companies do to make it just that bit easier? What would you do? Would it have anything to do with dads? With buddy systems? With health & safety?

How do I make an appointment with the Career Center?The Career Development Center is available on both campuses. To make an appointment please call us at either location:
Wilf Campus500 West 185th Street, Suite 413 (Furst Hall)Phone: 646-592-4090Beren Campus215 Lexington Avenue, 5th floorNew York, NY 10016Phone: 917-326-4869Hours of operation:Monday-Thursday: 9:00am – 5:30pm (Wilf Campus Only: Wednesdays 9:00am-7:00pm)Friday: 9:00am – 2:30pm
Walk-in hours (no appointment needed; 10-minute meetings) Monday-Thursday: 12:00pm - 2:00pm (Wilf Campus) / 1:00pm – 3:00pm (Beren Campus)
Why should I make an appointment with the Career Center?
It is important to identify your desired career paths, and obtain relevant career experience, sooner rather than later so that you have the best possible chance of succeeding at your goals. Experience not only builds your resume, making you more attractive to employers and graduate schools, but also helps you clarify and confirm if a career is the right fit for you. At the Career Center, we are available to assist you with:
What happens during an appointment with a Career Counselor?
Appointments are individualized to meet the specific needs of each student. During these appointments, we will address any questions or concerns you might have, from choosing a major, to finding an internship or job; to helping you determine a career path. We may discuss your familial, academic, social and work backgrounds, and discuss your future goals and provide tools and resources to help you achieve those goals.
Can my parents/friends come to my appointment with me?Because of the confidential nature of these appointments, it is strongly suggested that you attend these appointments by yourself. Often times our life decisions can be influenced by external factors like our family and friends. In these appointments, it is important to target what it is that YOU want. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please make an appointment with a Career Counselor to further discuss.
I have some ideas for panels, guest speakers and site visits. Who should I talk to about this?Please give your feedback to a Career Counselor directly or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
What is YUCL and how do I use it?
YUCL (short for YU CareerLink) is a career management system, where you can search and apply for jobs/internships, find out about site visits, panels and workshops with the Career Center, and post your cover letter and resume materials. It also gives us a way to stay in touch with you to let you know about career related opportunities and events with our office! You can sign up for an account and log in here.
Your YU email address is your username, and you should have received your password via email. If not, simply click "forgot password" and a new one will be emailed for you. Call or stop by the Career Center with any questions.
Why can't I make appointments online?
So that we at the Career Center can best assess the appropriateness of the appointment and provide the most flexible scheduling possible due to our students' limited availability. For counseling appointments, it's important to be consistent and to establish a relationship that encourages personal and professional growth. Therefore, we do our best to arrange for you to see the same Career Counselor each time you visit the Career Center.
Does the Career Center place me in a job?
The Career Center is not a placement office. Here at the Career Center, we empower students to develop the skills, resources, contacts and materials they need to find and secure the position they desire. We aim for all positions to be advertised to the undergraduate student body through YUCL, so that everyone gets a fair shot at applying for a position of interest for which they qualify. We do conduct employer outreach and encourage organizations to recruit YU students, and we post those opportunities on YUCL. We also host panels, forums, and career fairs to connect students with potential employers.
What is an informational interview and how do I get one?Please see our handout on informational interviewing and how to network:Informational interviews are conversations with professionals in a field you are considering. A counselor at the Career Center can help connect you with such a professional through our database called YU InfoLink. You must first schedule an appointment with a counselor to review the guidelines of conducting these interviews before we will provide you with the contact information of the professional. For more about informational interviewing, see our tip sheet:Informational Interviewing Tip Sheet
How do I go about choosing a major?Please see our handout on how to choose a major
What if I have no idea what I want to do with my life?Making an appointment with a career counselor is a good first step in figuring this out.
What are career assessments and how can they help me?
Career assessments can be helpful tools to integrate into the counseling sessions. The purpose of these instruments are to give students some insight into understanding who they are, which can then lead to new areas for growth and career exploration. An initial appointment with a counselor is required prior to determining if the assessments would be appropriate, and then a follow-up appointment is scheduled to review the results. These evaluations are NOT aptitude tests and do not tell students what career to go into.
What should I do after graduation?
There are many options which can include obtaining a job/internship, going to graduate school, or obtaining a fellowship. Meeting with a career counselor can help you to further solidify your plans for after graduation.
What do I do if I've never had a "real job" before?
We suggest making an appointment with a career counselor so that we can review your past experiences and discuss ways that you can start building your resume materials. Getting involved on campus through clubs, athletics, volunteer efforts/community service, and other activities is a great way to get started.
What should I wear to an interview?
Interviewers decide whether or not they like your appearance well before they will assess your abilities or personality. Men should wear conservative, dark-colored suits with collared shirts, and ties, as well as polished shoes.

Hawaiian Electric have restored power to all 4,300 customers who were affected by the outage Sunday morning.
The outage happened around 8:30 a.m. from Kalani High School to Kalama Valley by the golf course.
HECO said about 4,300 customers were without power. They also said that cause of the outage was a piece of equipment that broke due high winds.
Crews were conducting a ground inspection, which takes longer than normal to find the problems. Restoration took about five hours.

Your thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland located in your neck which produces the hormones responsible for controlling your metabolism. If your thyroid gland doesn't produce enough thyroid hormone, you have a disorder known as hypothyroidism. Both males and females are affected by hypothyroidism, but it is more commonly found in women.
Two fairly common problems caused by hypothyroidism are anovulation (lack of ovulation) and short luteal phases (the time between ovulation and the beginning of menstruation), both of which make it extremely difficult for women with the disorder to conceive. Hypothyroidism can also throw the endocrine system off balance, causing elevated levels of prolactin (the hormone that induces and maintains the production of breast milk), which can also have a negative effect on fertility. Thyroid secretion is not only essential for egg fertilization and development, but also for sperm production. There is strong evidence that hypothyroidism can affect male fertility by causing a low sperm count or reduced sperm motility.
Although hypothyroidism is one of the most common causes of infertility, it is often overlooked. A wide range of symptoms can include accumulation of fluid under the eye, sensitivity to cold, aching muscles, decreased sweating, decreased appetite, weight loss or gain, fatigue, mood swings, irregular heartbeat, constipation, anemia, anxiety, decreased sex drive, dry skin, insomnia and tingling in the hands and feet. Your doctor may also suspect hypothyroidism if your basal body temperature is consistently lower than 36.6 degrees Celsius.
Generally, your doctor will be able to determine whether you have hypothyroidism with standard thyroid function blood tests. In a person with an under-active thyroid gland, the blood level of T4 (the main thyroid hormone) tends to be low, while the level of thyroid stimulating hormone (the main pituitary hormone) is high. In other words, the thyroid gland is not producing enough hormone, so the pituitary gland responds by making more of its own hormones in an attempt to stimulate the thyroid.
Hypothyroidism is treated with thyroid-replacement hormones (synthetic or natural, pill or liquid), which act to bring the T4 hormone in your body back to a normal range. Your doctor will likely prescribe thyroid hormone medication called levothyroxine, a pure synthetic form of T4, which is an exact replacement for naturally produced T4. Symptoms generally subside within one to two weeks of taking the medication, but it may take up to two months for you to feel completely normal.
After about one month of treatment, your doctor will measure the hormone levels in your blood to make sure you are taking the appropriate dose of thyroid hormone. If you become pregnant while taking T4, it is probable that your medication had everything to do with it. It is safe to continue taking your medication during your pregnancy, but your doctor may adjust your dose. A higher dose is often necessary to meet the increased demands of your changing metabolism. Because T4 crosses into breast milk in only minute quantities and has no adverse effect on the baby, it is safe to take while you are breastfeeding.
Typically, hypothyroidism is easy to manage in those who have it. But if you suffer from a thyroid condition and you're trying to have a baby, it is imperative that you seek treatment for your disorder as soon as possible. If you happen to get pregnant and do not receive proper treatment, you face an increased, serious risk of having a miscarriage.

MDE reviews early warning plan for deficit schools
If the Legislature provides the funding, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) will implement a new plan to help school districts with budget deficits. The plan is part of Gov. Snyder's budget recommendations. Currently, there are 46 school districts with budget deficits.
The new procedure would team MDE with the Department of Treasury to provide assistance with a school district's deficit elimination plan before an emergency manager would be used. The plan would use declining enrollment, fund balance decreases and other measures as early warning signs that a district is in trouble.
No language for a bill has been drafted, but MDE officials want to make sure the Treasury Department will only focus on the financial health of a school district and not be involved in the district's education program. MDE is also requesting that the state's audit reporting deadline for schools be moved up to Oct. 15 from November for earlier detection of possible financial problems. MDE wants expanded academic plans to be used with deficit elimination plans to guarantee a district can still provide a quality education while addressing the financial crisis.
While MDE is encouraged by the plan and hopes their recommendations are adopted, board members pointed out that many of the financial problems school districts are dealing with were caused by the state and its lack of adequate funding for education.

The best way to transition from Spring into Summer is with a Pastel Eye! It's light and airy and really compliments the pastel fashion of the S/S14 runways. There are many ways you can pull this off and today I've narrowed it down to three: lashline only, upper lid or both lids. Of course you can swap any of the colors with any of the applications. Or choose a pale green or another pastel that you love! Here's how to do each:
- Your Favorite Pastel Liquid Liner: I used MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Liner in Diamond Pearly Pink on Lacy above because in the summertime, we have to switch to waterproof!
- Your Favorite Pastel Eye Shadow: I used Maybelline Color Tattoo Pure Pigments in Brash Blue in Lapis and Napoleon Perdis Color Disc Eyeshadow in Lilac Maniac
- Trace the liquid liner along the lashline from the inner corner to the outer corner.
- Go back over it (I had to a couple of times) to make it more intense and less sheer.
- Apply the shadow all over the lid and crease with a shadow brush.
- Repeat if you need more intensity.
- Apply the shadow all over the lid and crease of the upper lid with a shadow brush.
- Sweep the same shadow along the lower lashline as well.
Please tag us if you try one of these or a pastel of your own!

Martinsburg mail processing center closing later this year
MARTINSBURG – The U.S. Postal Service has moved the closure date of the Martinsburg mail processing center up a year.
"On Jan. 17, we announced (internally) that, based on the success of previous Area Mail Processing (AMP) consolidations, we would move 18 AMP sites (nationwide) from our 2014 consolidation list to our 2013 consolidation list. Martinsburg was one of these 18," Cathy Yarosky, USPS communications programs specialist, said in an email Friday.
"2013 consolidations will last through July 30," she continued. "This phase will involve 100 consolidations (nationwide). …"
Martinsburg is the last facility named on the 2013 consolidation list.
"For now, the only deadline we have for this consolidation is that it should be completed no later than late summer 2013," Yarosky said.
After a more-than-year-long study, including a public hearing in Martinsburg, USPS officials announced Oct. 14 that the mail processing facility at the Martinsburg Post Office in the Old Courthouse Square shopping center on Edwin Miller Boulevard would be moved to a processing center in Baltimore.
Intended to save money and increase efficiency, according to official statements, the move originally was to have been completed by June of last year.
After several members of Congress intervened, including Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., USPS decided to move the closing of the Martinsburg center – as well as several other centers across the country slated for closure last year – to 2014.
The processing center is in the "back of the house," where incoming and outgoing mail is sorted for distribution. The "front of the house," or retail operation, will not be affected in Martinsburg, officials have said.
According to previous reports, there are 13 positions associated with the Martinsburg processing center that would be eliminated. It was never made clear if the employees filling those positions would lose their jobs or if they would be offered transfers to other postal facilities.
"Martinsburg employees were notified on Jan. 17," Yarosky said in a Friday email. "As far as positions, I can tell you that we will continue to follow our collective bargaining agreements and will, as always, work closely with affected employees. We have just begun this process; therefore, it would be premature to know what each affected employee will choose to do."
USPS officials have said the volume of mail being handled at the Martinsburg facility has decreased by 25,000 to 30,000 pieces of mail per year.
By consolidating Martinsburg with Baltimore, officials expect to save about $1.4 million annually, mostly in employee costs.
Mail processing consolidations have been going on for several years as the USPS tries to cut expenses, officials have said.
Similar facilities in Winchester, Va., and Frederick, Md., have already been closed as well as centers in Wheeling, Huntington and Beckley.
Also named on the 2013 consolidation list are centers in Petersburg, Bluefield and Parkersburg in West Virginia and the center in Cumberland, Md.

Haggin Oaks Golf Complex â Arcade Creek Course
Sacramento, California
August 9-12, 2004
SACRAMENTO, Calif. â Andrew Patipaksiri of Cypress, Calif., ran away from the field, capturing his first AJGA victory at the Nike Golf Junior at Haggin Oaks, firing a bogey-free final-round 67. The tournament total of 199 breaks the Nike Golf Junior All-Star Series tournament scoring record. Sarah Salvo of Glendale, Calif., followed her second-round 68, with a final-round 70, to earn her second victory of the summer. Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Nike Golf Junior at Haggin Oaks was a 54-hole stroke play event, held at the Haggin Oaks Golf Complex â Arcade Creek Course. The tournament featured 81 of the nationâs premier junior golfers, ages 12-15, from 8 states, Mexico and Peru, including 69 players from California.After the second round, Patipaksiri casually mentioned that he wanted to win âone of those glass trophies.â That glass trophy is now his, after he fired a tournament total of 17-under-par, for a nine-stroke victory.Patipaksiri began his day with a seven-stroke advantage, and after his first three holes he had it up to nine. He made birdies on holes Nos. 2 and 3, hitting approach shots to within 10 feet and rolling in the birdie putts. Patipaksiri did not stop there; he went onto birdie the 7th and 8th holes, for his third consecutive nine of 32.âI hit my driver well all week and just kept rolling in putts,â Patipaksiri said. âI felt really confident all day in all parts of my game, especially the putter."By the turn the only question was if Patipaksiri was going to shoot below 200 for his tournament total. After a couple of 10 foot birdie putts on his back nine slid by the hole, he was able to sink one on No. 15 to move to 17-under-par and 199 for the tournament. âIt feels really awesome to win this event,â Patipaksiri commented. âI wasnât nervous at all today. I just tried to shoot as low as I could,â the fifteen year old remarked. Prior to this victory, his best AJGA tournament finish was a tie for seventh at the 2004 Nike Golf Junior at Las Cruces.Carding a final-round 67, Alan Lee of Lima, Peru, was able to capture second place. He finished the tournament at 208, eight strokes under-par. Also recording a 5-under-par final-round, was Andrew Yun from University Place, Wash. His tournament total of 209 placed him tied for third with Josh Dupont of Poway, Calif. First-round co-leader Peter Gibbs of Granite Bay, Calif., finished the tournament in fifth position at 6-under-par. In the Girls Division, Salvo started the day with a two-stroke cushion over her final-round playing partners. After a bogey on hole No. 4, and some early birdies from Wonjoo Choi and Lalita Patipaksiri, her lead gradually narrowed. Salvo would continue her consistent play and make a birdie on No. 8, recording a front nine 36, sharing the lead at the turn with Patipaksiri.âI was trying to see where I stood with the group in front me all morning,â Salvo explained. âI could not see the scores of the group in front of me, so I just had to try to make birdies.âSalvo would start the back nine by birding the par-4 12th hole, giving her a lead she would not relinquish. She would follow her birdie up at No. 12 with two more. On No.15, Salvo hit her approach shot to within three feet of the hole for birdie, and matched that birdie with another on No. 16. Her final round 70 gave her a six-stroke victory.âIt feels really good to win this tournament,â Salvo remarked. âI had a lot of fun with the other girls this week.âEarlier this summer Salvo won the Nike Golf Junior at Colonial presented by the Mississippi Farm Bureau.Finishing in second place was Choi of Murrieta, Calif., with a final-round 72 and tournament total of 1-under-par 215. Grace Chung of La Habra, Calif., Diane Kwon of Fremont, Calif., and Patipaksiri of Cypress, Calif., finished in a three-way tie for third.The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA has a membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.Titleist, the AJGAâs National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Associationâs success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, a supporter of the AJGA since 1983, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004.

Kendall Selsky '93, North Central College visiting assistant professor of health and physical education and exercise science program director, spoke at a continuing education session at the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) Illinois State Personal Trainer Clinic held in Chicago Nov. 5. The topic she presented was titled "ACL Injury Prevention Techniques/Programs for Strength & Conditioning Professionals."
Her session for strength and conditioning professionals provided an update on what's known about prevention of anterior cruciate ligament injuries, which are devastating and all too common injuries for athletes. A practical session included identification of faulty movement patterns frequently seen in at-risk athletes and key preventive exercises.
Selsky has been teaching at North Central since 1999 in various roles. She has served as head athletic trainer (2000-2003, 2006-2007) and as an assistant athletic trainer (1999-2000, 2003-2005). She received a B.A. from North Central College in 1993 and an M.S. from Illinois State University.
