It was an historic day for AM General and the City of Mishawaka on Tuesday. The new MV-1 vehicle was unveiled at the AM General Plant. The MV-1 is built from the ground up for people with disabilities. You may remember years back, the MV-1 was made along side the Hummer H2. But GM eventually shut down the production of the H2, along with the MV-1.
This is the first MV-1 produced since AM General bought the company that developed it, Vehicle Production Group. This project, along with a planned foreign military order of Humvees has put about 200 workers back on the job at the factory.
Now, Mobility Ventures says there's a high demand for the vehicle, and local officials say this is something to be excited about. Congresswoman Jackie Walorski was all smiles, and says, "Hearing this company's back to work and hearing these lines rolling again, and seeing the cars in the parking lot. Couple 100 people back on the job here, there couldn't be better news on a day like today." Mishawaka Mayor Dave Wood says, "This also represents an economic development for the city. Not only for what they're able to produce here but hopefully in the supply line as this thing ramps up, and hopefully reaches it's full potential." South Bend Deputy Mayor Mark Neal also spoke about the excitement this brings to South Bend, and the economic development for both cities.
Mobility Ventures VP of Sales John Walsh says, "There's such a large demand for a vehicle like this. It's enormous. It's not just a car. It's a way of life. And it's truly giving people it's independence. Ford, GM, Chrysler, no one's ever tried to build one off an assembly line. Anything that's been done before for someone that's in a wheelchair that needs a vehicle." The first MV-1 will be sent out to the dealership Friday.
Walsh says the coolest part is that it's built form the ground up for wheelchair access. He says the MV-1 has found the perfect home. "Why in Mishawaka? I'll tell you why. Because this plant is one of the newest, actually, it's THE newest U.S. auto plant in the country," he says. Those with disabilities who benefit from the MV-1 say the Michiana area is changing lives. Kristina Rhoades, Mobility Ventures media relations, says, "People that are building this vehicle live in this community, and are a part of the South Bend/Mishawaka community. And the work they're doing is something they really should be proud of."
The MV-1 seats up to six adults, with 2 full-size wheelchairs. Sales are expected to start April 1st.

L'ENVOI by ROLAND LEIGHTON
Only a turn of head, A good-bye lightly said, And you set out to tread Your manlier road.
Both our Youth's paths once met; And think now we forget How great a brothers' debt To you is owed.
Sweep onward; and though Fame Shall aureole your name, Remember whence you came In Boyhood days.
And in life''s darkening years Look back on hopes and fears Mingled with memory's tears And blame and praise.

Economic Trends
Consumer Debt and the Housing Market
Household debt has been shrinking since 2009, and the latest data show the trend continues. Total consumer debt outstanding fell from $11.23 trillion dollars in the first quarter of 2013 to $11.15 trillion in the second quarter (Equifax, FRB NY CCP). In contrast, however, two components of overall debt rose over that period: Auto loans went up from $749 billion to $800 billion, and student loans went up from $986 billion to $994 billion.
According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, sales of light motor vehicles plummeted to their lowest level since the 1980s during the Great Recession. Newly originated auto loan balances also declined during the recession. Auto loans reached their lowest point in 2010:Q2, when they accounted for $702 billion out of the $11.9 trillion of total debt (Equifax, FRB NY CCP). Light vehicle sales and newly originated auto loan balances have made a U-shaped turnaround since the onset of the crisis, possibly due to historically low interest rates.
Meanwhile, credit card debt and other debt (non-mortgage, non-auto, and non-student loan) have been declining since the beginning of the financial crisis, reaching their lowest levels in 2013:Q1 ($660 billion for credit cards) and in 2010:Q2 ($296 billion for other debt). Student loans have followed a steady upward trend, even during the recession, and continue to grow.
Aggregate mortgage debt also continues to decline, despite growing numbers of existing home sales.
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the number of existing single-family home sales increased from 4.34 million in 2013:Q1 to 4.47 million in 2013:Q2. Home-purchase applications have remained relatively stable, but refinancing applications are on a downward trend, most likely because of rising mortgage interest rates. The 30-year conventional-mortgage interest rate increased from 4.37 percent in July 2013 to 4.46 percent in August 2013. Interest rates are higher than their record low in December 2012 but still low compared to historical values.
Even though mortgage interest rates and home values are rising, homes are currently more affordable than they were during the 1990s and early 2000s, which could encourage further growth in home sales. The NAR's Housing Affordability Index was 175.8 in 2013:Q2. An index value greater than 100 means that a family earning the median income has more than enough income to qualify for a mortgage loan on a median-priced home, assuming a 20 percent down payment.
Mortgage industry professionals expect the number of people buying homes to go up in the near future. According to Inside Mortgage Trends, the Mortgage Bankers Association projects that home sales will grow from $503 billion in 2012 to $615 billion in 2013, about $700 billion in 2014, and $990 billion in 2015. This expectation, combined with rising home values, is likely to encourage the adoption of a technological innovation: the mobile digital loan-processing application. Greater use of this tool is expected to simplify the mortgage borrowing process for individuals and lenders, which could facilitate doing business in an expanding market and help it grow further. If this trend materializes, the homeownership rate can be expected to rise in the near future.

The endowment of the Foundation of FirstHealth was created to support special programs and medical equipment needs that might otherwise not be funded by ever-shrinking hospital budgets. Endowment gifts are more flexible when given without restrictions, but funds given for specific programs are equally welcome.
Our goal is to build the Foundation's endowment from it's current level to a point where the programs and services provided in the fine facilities you are helping us build can be funded by a steady stream of interest income from the principal (or corpus) of the endowment, which is not touched.
The high level of quality health care we will be able to provide will continue to grow to meet our region's medical needs as a direct result of our community's philanthropic efforts. Growing a Legacy to Last a Lifetime as we Build for the Future.

Why is Hanovia the power in UV technology?
Hanovia has been a UV water treatment leader for over 90 years. Nine decades of continuous development has put Hanovia at the forefront of UV science and technology.
Working with the biggest names in food, beverage, electronics, pharmaceutical, aquaculture, pools and leisure, and many other industries, we have gained valuable insights into our customers' requirements and this enables us to offer you not only the finest UV systems, but a full UV solution for your industrial or leisure water treatment problems – all backed by world class technical and service support 'UVCare', available wherever you are around the World.
A natural process
Ultraviolet (UV) treatment eliminates bacteria, viruses, spores and mould. It works in the same way as strong sunlight to permanently purify water by making biological impurities inactive. Hanovia's UV disinfection systems use powerful lamps to produce concentrated ultraviolet radiation which destroys micro-organisms.
Water safety in every situation
Hanovia's UV technology is used in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, electronics, marine, aquaculture and leisure industries to safeguard health and guarantee the high levels of purity needed to meet rigorous technical specifications.
Harnessing UV power
Micro-organisms compromise the purity of water and spoil food products. Hanovia's systems use medium pressure UV lamps designed to destroy the links in these micro-organisms' DNA so that they are de-activated and cannot reproduce. The crucial hydrogen bonds that link the DNA chain together rupture when exposed to light between 230nm and 310nm. Hanovia's medium pressure lamps are optimised at 265nm to match the peak absorbency of DNA, to make sure that harmful micro-organisms are fatally damaged.

What is it about 'three'?
"Good things come in threes."
"Third time's the charm."
"Two's company, three's a crowd"
Being a third wheel... having a three-way... a love triangle...
The Rule of three... the top three...
Could ""omne trium perfectum" be fact?
If I type the word "three" into the search bar here on TED, I get a page full of threes. 3 reasons to do this, 3 ways to achieve that...

May 16 2013: Lizanne... interesting question
I am not sure what it is about the #3. I will share that for some unknown reasons it shows up at some significant moments in my life; I got married on 3/3/90 (90 divisible by 3), we said our "i DO" at 3:33 pm (a friend documented the time), we have 3 children 2 born in march, I am the 3rd child of six born on 10/3.... I think it is all rather odd but,if the number 3 is telling me something I have yet to discover an answer!

There's controversy at the 2013 Miss America pageant surrounding Miss Kansas and her tattoos.
The entire right side of Theresa Vail's body is covered in a tattoo and another on her back represents her military service. It is believed to be the first time that a Miss America contestant has openly shown a tattoo on stage.
The tattoo on her right side is the Serenity Prayer. It says, "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."
Vail says the prayer helped her as a child get through difficult times.
The tattoos were fully visible to the pageant judges during the swimsuit preliminary competition during the week-long event in Atlantic City. She did not win the round but it was unclear if the judges were swayed by the tattoos.
She said on her blog that while she doesn't have dragons or butterflies, the prayer is very personal and meaningful to her.
Vail wrote: "Should I win Miss America because I have tattoos? Of course not. BUT, I shouldn't be discredited for having them either. This is 2013. We are not in the dark-ages."
Miss America contestants are told they are supposed to be comfortable in their own skin, she said, and wondered what sort of message it would send if she tried to cover the tattoos.
The 22-year-old from Manhattan, Kansas says her platform issues are to empower women to overcome stereotypes and break barriers.
Vail has served in the Kansas Army National Guard Medical Detachment and hopes to become a dentist for the Army after college. She cites expert marksmanship and Soldier of the Month awards on her pageant resume.
One of nine children, she joined the Kansas Army National Guard at the age of 17.
She is also a liturgical minister for her local church.

Amazing Mothership letting out Orb fleet on ISS Live Stream, September 11,2012
- 8seconds
- uploaded: Sep 13, 2012
- Hits: 3863
Original Uploader Statement: 11.September 2012
I was recording the ISS Live Stream as this picture appeared.
Only for a few seconds - looking to the backside of the ISS -in broad day light - then NASA switched very fast to earth view and did not return to this view.
It looks like a very big Object - far away behind ISS and you can see 4 holes looking like engines. I do not know what it is ...
Maybe anyone has an Idea ... but it is no reflection from the ISS because the cam is outside ...
also the ISS has not such a lot of lights in one row !

The large mass and lighter points above do not move. The lighter points above do not move in relation to the larger mass so how they can be said to exiting orbs is odd. The large mass does not look artificial at all. The irregular lumpy shape looks more like a feature of the land mass below. This looks more likely to be down on Earth, just features on Earth being picked up by light

The South Caucasus: Obama's Russia 'Reset' And Putin's Doctrine
by Mahir Khalifazadeh, Ph.D,*
The article reviews the key priorities of President Obama's 'reset' policy with Russia. The author analyzes the impact of the 'reset' policy on the South Caucasus. The region's strategic importance is emphasized for U.S. policy towards the Great Middle East and the post-Soviet space. The author discusses the failure of the "Russia reset" policy in improving America's interests particularly in the South Caucasus. The priorities of Putin's doctrine and the implications of the Crimean crises for the South Caucasus are evaluated as well. The author urges for new U.S. initiatives to enforce peace, international borders and America's strategic interests in the South Caucasus and Central Asia.
Since the collapse of the USSR, the South Caucasus has become an arena for the powerful struggle between the West and Russia. The South Caucasus is of great importance for its geostrategic location and its access to Caspian's energy resources. Geographically, the region is a land bridge between the Black and Caspian Seas. Its proximity to the Middle East increases the South Caucasus' importance for both the U.S. and Israelis Middle East policies. The South Caucasus is also a sensitive region of the former Soviet Union space. The large energy resources of the Caspian increase the South Caucasus' role for Europe's and Israel's energy security.

Community Garden
The Roxby Downs Community Garden has been in the development stages and is now starting to become a reality. The community garden will be located on a 1.48 acre site on a reserve bounded by Pioneer Drive, Alberrie and Mulgaria streets.
The Garden is intended to be a place for the community to 're-connect with each other and the earth'. The Roxby Downs Community garden will be a sanctuary to release the stresses of everyday life, and another venue to meet people outside the home and work spaces. Community members are encouraged to utilise this space as an area to rest, relax, unwind, chat, play, wander and simply breathe.
Volunteers are the catalyst for the Roxby Downs Community Garden. Currently the group has expanded with the new vision and is welcoming new volunteers who have a green thumb or a keen interest to get involved.
For further information, contact Patric Ibele on 8671 0168 or Michelle Hales on 0418 833 818 or via email email@example.com.
Looking to plant some hardy plants in your home garden?
Many species can be a nuisance or become weeds, even in the arid zone.
So be sure that you make a responsible choice and check out the following link for advice on what may be considered a irresponsible choice and some alternatives.

Today the tuition is in the $9000-$10000 range and it's not possible to earn half the money with a typical summer job.
I would point out though, that it is possible to graduate with $20K or less in loans and to get a scholarship to a top grad school rather than generate a ton of debt to pay for the top school as an undergrad.
Anyone whose kids have $200,000 in college debts must not have done much work or decided to go to very expensive private schools.
One of the most shocking ways to pay for college, I found out when I was actually in college and got so upset and outraged about it that I did one of my thesis' on it....and that is the SAD, SAD fact that PRISONER'S in prison, serving time for everything from simple drug possession to armed robbery, rape, and murder, in almost all of the prison's in our country, are able to get college degrees!!! If that is not a blunt and obvious red flag that something is terribly wrong and backwards with our penal system, I do not know what would be! I believe that all prisoner's should be given at least a high school education while incarcerated if they do not have one. But NOT a college education! The same college education that law abiding citizens have to pay for themselves, like I did for my college and for my children! Something is wrong when someone can go rob the 7-11 or kill or rape someone, then get one or more college degrees while serving their time as punishment for their crime when law abiding citizens have to pay for college themselves and/or come out of college already in debt from student loans.....in some states, even people on death row are getting college degrees! If you consider every single prison in the US.....can you even imagine how much money that comes to that tax payers end up having to pay for????? Money that could be and should be used for things that would actually benefit the law abiding parts of society? With a high school education, they would be on an even playing field, and IF they desire a college education, then they should have to pay for it themselves like the people in the US are doing who have NOT commited crimes!! Just thought I'd share this little tidbit of information since just reading the title of this article immediately took me back all of those years ago to when I learned about this fact and did research on it for my college thesis when in nursing school!
Teach for America is a load of crap.
My daughter is at Cornel, has busted her butt studying to be a teacher and will graduate next month with two degrees. She has been accepted to Cornel graduate school to get her masters. So far, I owe $70,000, and the graduate school is going to set us back more. Whatever, she's my daughter and I do what I can for her.
Be that as it may, she applied to Teach for America, primarily because it will help her get started in her career, and help pay back our loans. Although she went to three eight hour interviews, she was rejected. Why? Because she actually wants to be a teacher. Imagine that.
Teach for America isn't interested in finding top teachers. They want fund raising people to help generate cash for their political agenda. The Princeton woman who started T for A is a BS artist.
@ Someone (all the hype)
Put simply, your student gets scholarships by applying for them.
My recommendation would be to first fill out the FAFSA (Federal Application For Student Aid) form (google it, it's a government form and secure to do, make sure the site you use is a ".gov" site) just so you are aware, that form will require your (the parents) income for the past year and your tax return for the past year as well... it is normal and how they figure some of what the student will get in federal grants. Most colleges require that this form is filled out for all incoming students.
Then ask the counselors at his school for a list of scholarships that they think he/she would qualify for.
Have your student get a couple of letters of recommendation from at least two teachers (that always helps out)
Then just keep googling for scholarships and apply, apply, apply....
Most require an essay, usually on different subjects, but sometimes the essay just wants to know why your student feels that he/she deserves the scholarship.
Apply for everything that sounds remotely like something your student may qualify for.... even if it's only for $500.00... because if you get 4 of those, it adds up quickly.... and as you can well imagine, every little bit helps.
There are even scholarships out there for a laptop (which most colleges require that incoming students bring with them)
Hope this information helps! Good luck and God bless!!!
The suggestions in this article are all excellent. I have a few more that I used myself, as my health put the military option out of the question.
1. Forget the Ivy League college. They're overrated. Go to a local college and stay home with your parents. Massive savings right off the bat. Even better if your area has a good public transportation system; then you don't have to worry about auto expenses.
2. Remember the old WW-2 adage: Use it up, wear it out; make it do, or do without. Translation: What's with the buying a whole new wardrobe to start college? If your old clothes still fit and are still in good condition, keep using them. Save fashion concerns for when you have a job and are making money. If you're sitting in a classroom all day, why bother dressing to the nines? Try jeans and T-shirts. They're cheaper and a heckuva lot more comfortable. If you absolutely MUST buy something, consider Goodwill, Salvation Army, and other such stores. (If you buy used shoes, either make sure they've been resoled, or have it done before you wear them!) Ladies, forget matching the shoes to the outfit. Get two pairs of shoes: Something comfortable for everyday wear, and something better for going out. Period.
3. Skip the cafeteria and bring your own lunch from home. Not only is it cheaper, the food'll be better, too. ;D
4. You're not likely to have study periods to do your homework in; expect to have to do it at home. Apply a little self-discipline and limit social outings to weekends only---AFTER the homework's done. I'm talking to you social butterflies out there. It might cramp your style a bit, but socializing isn't why you're going to college, anyway.
In short, the key word is one that's become something of a dirty word these days; SACRIFICE! If you can possibly get by without (fill in the blank), then skip it. That way, it may even be possible to get through college without having to shoehorn in a part-time job, depending on how much your scholarship and/or grants will cover.
@mainstream media
I have no college degree. I work as a hired gun for the world's second largest pharm. They won't hire anybody without a degree, and furthermore, every one of them makes, twice, maybe three times what I make. And yet, I tell them how to do their jobs.
I'd rather have a sheepskin and be that much ahead, then be at the mercy of an employer begging for scraps.
I have an Idea .....
I think it's to the point today where we have to get a lot more creative with independent thinking about how to come up and implement a new affordable/cost effective educational system ... like taking individual class courses by (Accredited CD Course Purchases) .... Study at Home by CD ... Tests given on CD ... And then when ready .... take a State Exam showing you've passed each Course to acquire the Degree you wish to acquire that is Cost Effective for everybody. Not by expensive on- line Courses which are way too expensive for to days Students & Economy. Student Loans today are ridiculously way out of line and expensive not only for the Students but for Parents too. One should not have to forfit your mortgage or one's life to get an education!
When I saw the title of this article I thought what a great idea to forward to my son UNTIL I read it! Be a guinea pig, help others reproduce with your sperm, Beg? Are you out of your minds? Do you actually think this information is wise to offer to the average college student? How much blood would they have to give to even begin to save and giving sperm is advice to pay back loans? Begging on-line and risking insane people to attack a student who might be offguard is advice? Why not ask them to go trick or treating and save the change next? Or opening a business online? Do you realize how hard it is to find a niche where selling is that profitable plus when would the student study? Just because one person was able to do it does not mean it's the answer for most students. Selling is extremely time consuming and serious students study all the time and have tons of projects. If all of us knew how to save to pay back $50 gran per year on our own then we would jump at the chance and our nation wouldn't be in the mess we are in. Maybe you can find the answer to our failing economy and run for President too in your next article. Be REALISTIC.
For kids currently in high school, get searching for scholarships. Even if you won't start school for another 3 years, you can still apply for scholarships now. Look everywhere, even your credit union/bank, local supermarket, etc. There is tons of scholarship money out there that never gets used because no one knows about them or bothers to apply. Many of them are small, a few hundred bucks or so, but every little bit helps and if you apply to enough of them, you could have all of your tuition paid for plus extra for a car to get around in or even an apartment off-campus.

Wal-Mart workers prepare to strike
The company faces uncomfortable questions about how it treats employees ahead of the important holiday season.
It is under pressure from Wall Street to improve its lackluster sales ahead of the important holiday season. Wal-Mart, the country's largest private-sector employer, has battled efforts by unions to organize its workforce for years, and has filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board to stop the labor action aided by the United Food and Commercial Workers International. Media reports say that a decision by the NLRB isn't expected before Thursday's Thanksgiving holiday. Union-backed OUR Walmart, has fired back at the company, accusing it of "illegally attempting to deter workers from participating in strikes against the world's largest retailer on Friday," according to Reuters.
But even if it wins the latest battle, the Bentonville, Ark., company may lose the war over the long term as tries to protect its brand.
The company brags about its low prices. But many shoppers probably don't think much about how Wal-Mart makes this slogan a reality, which may start happening given the publicity the strike is getting. The average Wal-Mart associate earns about $8.81 an hour, or a yearly wage of about $15,500, meaning that hundreds of thousands of the company's workers live below the poverty line, according to unions.
Our Walmart is seeking wages of $13 per hour, and is calling on the company to make full-time jobs available for employees who want them. The company disputes these characterizations and says on its website that it offers "competitive wages, good benefits and the chance to grow and build a career."
States worried about the growing costs of Medicaid have pressued Wal-Mart for years to improve worker benefits. In response, the company offered some benefits to those working less than 24 hours per week, only to reverse course last year and decree that new part-time employees would no longer get benefits and that people working 24 hours to 33 hours a week can no longer include their spouses in their coverage, though children are allowed.
Data from unions indicates that Wal-Mart employees are the largest recipients of government assistance among those that are employed in a huge number of states. That means that taxpayers are on the hook for these benefits to the tune of more than $1 billion.
Though it's unlikely the strike will put a dent in Wal-Mart's profits, some customers may start to wonder whether the company's low prices are worth the costs born by its employees.

Bunch of G-- Damned wussies! Unions are destroying this nation and running up the cost of doing business beyond the ability of companies to be profitable. Unions are why businesses are going over seas. If you dont like where you work, quit and find another job, dont join a socialist leaning union!
Others that work on holidays? Military, Police, Fire fighters, Security Guards, Doctors, Nurses, Gas Station Attendents, Care-givers, Plumbers, maintence, and on and on. Quit your freekin whining people, America is, or WAS all about WORK!
"Though it's unlikely the strike will put a dent in Wal-Mart's profits, some customers may start to wonder whether the company's low prices are worth the costs born by its employees."
Doubtful, as the cashier will be a high school kid, who is not impoverished, and I'll get my HDTV at that low low price!
Ask Obama to Retrain you to get better jobs. They don't need insurance they all now have Obamacare.
Unions once had there place - they can go away now. All they do is collect dues and spend your hard earned money. You all wonder why jobs are shipped over seas. $13 per hour to do an unskilled job!!
As an employer, as one of the biggest U.S. corporations, as a part of the human race - they should consider treating people with respect. This includes helping us to be safe and helping us to being treated fairly.
Question #2 How much money do you need to be content?
Question #3: Who would you follow, a billionaire or politician with no moral's or ethics, or a hard working citizen that would give you his/her last dollar and put a roof over your head in time of need?
Money is nothing more than paper with ink on it. We as humanity have allowed it to enslave our children and the futures of their children, for what?
America, the only company (research it!) that I know of that openly celebrates indentured servitude. Am I wrong? Usually, 2 -3 days after a child is born in the U.S., they are given a Social Security card, making them responsible for the national debt just like me and you. Then the child grows and tries to get an education, only to see the cost must be covered by loans, yet again another example of servitude. I know what you are going to say, "They choose the life they have and that they have the same chances as everyone else in the United States!" Look at Watts, Chicago, Border towns of Texas, etc., no, they do not have the same chances or rights as others do! The wealthy demand the best and the pay for it, leaving others with sub-par means to facilitate an adequate education and income. An education that only allows for sub-par earnings is conformity. Some may join the military, hoping to find a niche within the system. Willing to pay the ultimate price, never knowing the truth, only the lies that they are willing to die for. Others that can not withstand the military or pass its requirements become the hardcore homeless and unemployed (Kennedy).
As a veteran, with 15 years of service (medically retired, honorable discharge), I am ashamed of you all that leave so much to be desired; equality. We are all human, and if you need things to separate yourself from humanity, and yes the homeless person are a part of humanity, then shame on you! No, shame on us!
As the system begins to crash, the light of humanity will shine to lead the way.
As Sam Walton always said, It is my employees that make this company great. Or something like that. I had some of his quotes at one time, I wish I could fine them. He made sure his employees were well taken care of.
Not only that, Sam Walton always made sure that his stores had American made products in his store. Most of the products that are in his stores today are from overseas.
The sad thing is Wal-Mart could easily afford to treat its employees better but doesn't. Wal-Mart and others are guilty of this. It is time these large companies start treating these employees fairly. Now when I say that I don't mean $20/hr to stock a shelf, have to be realistic for ones skill set, but a little bit better wage and some reasonable benefits isn't asking to much. I'm sure the Walton family could forgo a pay raise or bonus and not even notice. The sooner more companies realize the value in taking care of your employees the better off they will be when the employees strive to do a better job. Long term this is a good option and its to bad more employers don't see that. Just another line item expense to be cut without any concern (yes I know sometimes that is the only option).
I think its time
Wal-Mart is a 24hour store (in most cases) who have to work any other Thursday,but why complain? In this economy you should be happy and fortunate to have a job even if it is 8bucks an hour. But I want to stress this.......... OUR SOLIDERS are working Thanksgiving, Blackfriday, Christmas and any other Holiday; they are NOT with their Families, How about their rights? Who defends their rights to go against their employer, NOT the Complaining Wal-Mart employee who gets to go home every day and spend some kind of time with their family. I think Wal-Mart employees that are going to do this have LOST ALL perspective. Just my view.

When Boys Touch Themselves
Funny. I had just posted a story on Oprah's controversial episode about talking to girls about sex--and masturbation, when I read this:
My stepson is 8-years-old. For the last year, he grabs at himself all the time, and sometimes will have his hand down the front of his pants, playing with himself. I tell him to stop doing that at least 5 times every day. I feel like with him getting older, he shouldn't be doing that... He doesn't have a rash or isn't wearing any kind of underwear or pants that could be making him itch, so I'm very concerned about the reason.. Anyone else's kids do this?--PeytonsMom21109
Uh, yeah. As a mother of two boys--3 and 5--I've witnessed my share of this. But like GrnEyedGrandma (who's raised two boys herself) added, "It's so normal it isn't funny. Remind him that touching himself is his private business and needs to be done in private.. Also make him wash his hands..a lot."
Well said.
Does your son idly put his hands "down there?"

My nephews all did this. When I first got guardianship they would sit on the couch and "fiddle" (this was a 12y/o) and I just pointed out that they could do that all they wanted in their rooms. The only one(out of 3) that doesn't always do it in private now is the 7y/o.

My almost-3-year-old has really gotten into touching himself the past few months....we've taught him to say "Mommy I need some privacy" and to go into his room when he needs a moment alone with his member.
Our only problem is that he likes to stuff THINGS into his underwear, I guess to see how they feel differently with all those nerve endings down there....but he'll come out of his room with a stuffed toy, a nickel, a racecar, and plastic ice cream cone all tucked into his underwear!! Sometimes I worry about leaving him in his room to do his 'bidness and then having him come out with a handful of poop-smeared, germy toys. Blech!

My son is 16months old and as soon as I open his daiper, his hands are on his wee wee...sometimes he will stick his hands in the side of his diaper to get ahold of it...I tell him to stop all the time...

Jessica_IzzyApril 14, 2009 at 3:03 PM
Just let them know that it's ok to do that but somewhere private :).

odeemvApril 14, 2009 at 3:12 PM
With my 18 month old, we just say, "Yes that's your penis" when he grabs it during diaper changes or the bath. I've always heard to teach that body part just like any other and plus we don't think masturbating is "bad". When he gets older, we'll teach him to go in private. Men of all ages love that part of the body.

I was mortified the first time I caught my 3 yo playing with himself! But thanks to Cafemom and all the nice ladies here, I was reassured that it was perfectly normal. I just tell him to go to his room to do that.

I just sent my bff (my son's godmother) a picture of him, chilling in his little chair, watching a movie, hand down his pants. It was just so funny...guys will be guys, at whatever age. He's only 2, so he really doesn't understand, sometimes when it gets hard he even says it hurts, lol, poor baby. We're starting to teach him that it's ok that that happens, and if he wants to touch it, he shouldn't do it in front of other people.
- --
emBlazeApril 15, 2009 at 12:04 PM
I'm so glad I found this thread...my son is 6 (7 in July) and touches himself repeatedly! It gets on my nerves and I have begged my husband to talk to him about it. He USED to put his hands down his pants a lot, but now he just grabs/adjusts himself through his clothes. I guess it's still better than having his hands down the front of his pants in public. But the grasping he does in public is embarrassing. I'm not sure if I want to send him to his room THAT LONG!! LOL I'll have to think about that one. He'll do it on his own eventually, but for now...I don't want to know how often he really does it.

Best Program Ever
Lace Country Tea-length Programs The program came out beautifully and exceeded our expectations in every way. We used a different font and personalized it to be in peach and grey, adding in new sections for different parts of the mass and our readers and officiant. The spacing was a little tricky, but the online proof was wonderful, and appeared very life-like even on the screen. The programs arrived on time, were packaged nicely, and the printing and paper quality were top notch. Both our priest and the church coordinator told us that they were one of the nicest programs they had ever seen. We couldn't have been happier!

This week's NY1 Scholar Athlete of the Week has a strong drive to give back that is only matched by his perseverance in the pool. NY1's Amanda Farinacci filed the following report.
From starting after-school clubs to captaining the swim team, James Madison High School senior William Koganov isn't afraid to dive in head-first to pursue his passions.
"Will has been an amazing example for kids to not only do academics, do athletics, but be involved in the community in and out," says Marla Rutter, a criminology teacher and coordinator of student affairs at the school.
"I think a healthy community is one of the most important things to a society in general," Koganov says. "Everyone needs some kind of help."
Koganov is in the school's Law Institute, taking advanced placement courses and participating in after-school activities focused on law and debate. Teachers say he stands out as a leader for his peers in the competitive program.
"I think what set Will apart is that he takes on many challenges above and beyond what is required of him as a student," Rutter says.
"He is something that I see rarely, which is a gentleman," said Cecilie Kalina, a guidance counselor at the school.
His ability to inspire has made him the first student in more than three decades to captain the boys varsity swim team as both a junior and a senior.
"I love to lead," Koganov says. "I think I'm a natural leader, and inspiring my teammates is always one of my goals."
"He's an exceptional swimmer. He'll swim through a brick wall for this team," said Michael Davis, the varsity swim coach at the school. "He sets the example by working hard, and others follow."
Koganov also holds leadership roles in the school's Honor Society and Model UN delegation. He started a Red Cross Chapter at the school, which proved instrumental in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
"After Hurricane Sandy, we were really pivotal in the community," Koganov says. "We did a lot of beach cleanups. We did a lot of community cleanups. We volunteered at soup kitchens."
Koganov plans to study business and eventually attend law school. Faculty members are confident that his dedication to helping others will make him an asset at any college he chooses to attend.
"Will is the type of kid that's destined for greatness," Davis says.
So, for setting a positive example in the pool and in the community, William Koganov is NY1's Scholar Athlete of the Week.
The NY1/Time Warner Cable Business Class Scholar Athlete program celebrates student athletes who successfully combine academics with athletics, and also find time for community service. The program, operated in conjunction with the New York City Department of Education, is open to any senior attending a New York City public high school.
Each week of the school year, a selected student is profiled on NY1 and receives a partial scholarship to the school they choose to attend in the fall.
To apply, download and print out the official Scholar Athlete application, then mail it to the address on the form.

It seemed like an innocent enough question. We were watching the swans in the park swim between the flotilla of geese, and I just happened to think of it. "I wonder what a female swan is called."
"A hen?"
That didn't satisfy. "Well, the male swan is a cob and the babies are cygnets, not chicks. Stands to reason the girl swan would have her own name."

Accelerated IDSC BA/MA Degree Program
Program of Study
The IDSC MA degree requires 12 course credits:
• 2 credits transferred from the BA/MA program
• 2 internship credits, usually taken in the summer before and the summer after the spring semester of the fifth year
• 8 credits taken during the fifth year, including:
1. Required: IDCE 360 – Intro to Development Theory
2. Required: IDC 361—Project Management and Social Change
3. Required: IDCE 314—Research Design and Methods
4. Required: IDCE 30213—MA paper, thesis or technical report
5. Recommended: IDCE 30217: Economic Fundamentals for International Development (if the student has not already taken ECON 228); any other upper level 200/300 course in international economics or management economics; or an elective course
6. Skills course
7. Skills or elective course
8. Elective course
To meet these requirements and prepare themselves intellectually for this rigorous fifth year of study, BA/MA applicants are encouraged to these steps:
While completing the BA:
First year and sophomore year. Students should try to fulfill their requirements as early as possible so as to be eligible to take advanced level seminars in their junior and senior year. Also, with the exception of the internship or field research, accelerated BA/MA students are strongly advised not to count any Study Abroad courses as part of the 14 units required for the IDSC major.
Students must complete the Application to the Accelerated BA/Master's Degree: Part 1 and return it to the ACADEMIC ADVISING CENTER by April 1 of the junior year (November 1 for those who are out of sequence). The application form is available on-line at www.clarku.edu/graduate.
If necessary, a student can submit the form while studying abroad. Prior to leaving, however, he/she must discuss plans with the faculty advisor and the IDCE BA/MA coordinator. Note: The Academic Advising office will not accept the application form unless signed by the IDCE BA/MA Coordinator.
The Academic Advising Center will inform you by letter at the end of your junior year if you remain eligible for the program.
In the junior or senior year, prospective BA/MA applicants should take two upper-level courses (cross-listed as graduate courses) related to their interests in international development to be credited toward the MA. Prospective BA/MA students should try to register for these classes with the 300-level CRN number or seek approval from the BA/MA coordinator for having a 200 level count.
In October of the senior year, the BA/MA applicant must formally apply to the same graduate program he or she selected on the first part of the application (spring, junior year). This includes letters of recommendation, so plan ahead.
Acceptance into the graduate program is provisional until the end of the senior year and is determined by the Dean of Graduate Studies and Research based on the recommendation of academic program.
Seniors must complete an Honors Thesis and give early thought to what new topic they might choose for their MA paper.
While fieldwork experience is not required for the program, BA-MA tend to perform better their fifth year if they have acquired some significant international experience during their undergraduate years. Career Services and faculty advisors can help students identify appropriate internships, work abroad, and other opportunities. IDSC majors are also welcome to view the IDCE Career Database at: https://www.clarku.edu/departments/idceapps/careerdb/index.cfm
In the summer or year following award of the BA degree:
BA/MA students typically pursue one graduate-length internship in the summer before and another in the summer after the fifth year (registering for the credits in the fall and spring semesters of the fifth year, respectively, when the student typically completes the academic or written component). Occasionally, students may undertake a lengthier internship between the BA and the start of the fifth year, in which case, both credits would be awarded in the fall semester of the fifth year.
Graduate-level internships require 210+ hours, plus submission of an appropriate written academic component (15-20 pages) to be determined in conjunction with the faculty internship supervisor.
Any student awarded a Compton Mentor, Boren, or Fulbright scholarship may petition the Graduate School (not IDSC) to defer their entrance to the MA program by one year. Otherwise, per university regulations, all students admitted to the BA/MA program must begin the MA program in the fall semester following their graduation (whether in December or May).
Those participating in one of these year-long academic scholarships must petition the Graduate School to remain eligible for the fifth year free scholarship. Many participants in these programs also request transfer credit for two internship units.
After graduation and before returning in the fall, BA/MA students may also want to begin thinking about topics for the MA paper, practitioner paper, or thesis. Many students choose to do something related to their summer internships. As soon as possible (but no later than the end of September in the fifth year), they should approach a faculty member to serve as a first reader.

WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis (WSAU) A 50-year-old man will spend the next 200 days in jail for drugging a woman's drink. Michael Shanahan pled guilty in Wood County Court yesterday as part of a plea bargain.
The incident happened last September. The victim was a female bartender who allowed another customer to buy her a drink. She told police that she left the bar for a brief time. A surveillance camera showed Shanahan put his hand over her glass for several moments.
The victim went to Riverview Hospital where she tested positive for Benzodiazepine. She said her drink tasted sweeter, and that she felt light-head and nausea.

Tiffin police are investigating a shooting that happened outside of a bar early Wednesday morning. It happened at The Viaduct Bar & Grill on North Washington Street.
The shooting victim went to the hospital before he called police.
After investigating, police determined the shooting happened as the bar was letting out customers. Police found several shell casings and a bullet that struck a car.
Det. Jason Windsor says it is rare for a crime of this nature to happen in Tiffin.
"We usually don't have that much violent crime, as far as gunshots and stuff like that. We might get a bar fight every once and a while," said Windsor.
The victim has already been released from the hospital, but police are still investigating. Anyone with information is urged to call police.
