Accounting professor receives Chinese research grants

Loyola press release - June 11, 2012
Lee J. Yao, Ph.D., the Rev. Joseph A. Butt, S.J., Distinguished Professor in Accounting at Loyola University New Orleans, received two rare academic grants from the Chinese government to study investment strategies, as well as investment education, in the emerging Chinese marketplace. The research project, conducted in conjunction with the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in China, will cost $182,000 over the next two years and will be conducted by four investigators, two from China and two from the United States, including Yao.
According to Yao, the Chinese government is funding these academic studies for one reason only – to learn how to attract more foreign investors into a growing Chinese economy.
"The first grant will focus on the most effective way to set up a multinational corporation in China," said Yao. "The idea is to put the data together and provide information to the Chinese government so they can put the appropriate financial and economic infrastructure in place. The second grant has to do with corporate governance in China. Currently, financial reporting at a lot of Chinese companies is not transparent enough. If potential investors don't believe in the legitimacy of the market, they won't invest. Hopefully, we can pinpoint the deficiencies so the government can make the appropriate laws to correct the problems and encourage outside investment."
Yao will travel to China over the Christmas break to work and collect data with the Chinese investigators before returning to Loyola to analyze the information and produce his reports. Yao has just finished a separate study for the Chinese government examining how it affects the market in relationship to different corporate government structures.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb golf team shot a third-round 283 to finish second in the TSU Big Blue Invitational.
Southern Illinois won the tournament was 54-hole score of 847. The Bisons were five strokes behind at 852 in the 14-team tournament which ended Tuesday at the President's Reserve at Hermitage Golf Club.
The tournament was sponsored by Tennessee State University.
"The stats will shot that we hit the ball well," said Will Brewer, LU's director of golf. "We putted well, but we just didn't putt well enough. We have to keep getting better.
"I felt like at a minimum we should have finished third of fourth. It was just an overall solid team effort."
Blanton Farmer led the Bisons with a three-round score of 212 (69, 71, 72). He tied for seventh place.
Dustin Wilder tied for ninth place with a 213 (73, 70, 70).
Alex Cox tied for 15th with a 214 (69, 71, 74).
"Alex bogeyed the first five holes and was only two over on the last 13," Brewer said.
Ryan Terry finished with a score of 221 (82, 70, 69), tying for 49th place.
"Ryan had a very good round," Brewer said.
Paul Kleine-Kracht tied for 53rd place with a 222 (76, 74, 72).
Four Lipscomb players competed as individuals. Tyler Leroy tied for 38th with a total of 219. He scored a 73 in each round. Nathan Mueting tied for 68th with a 226 (80, 74, 72). Zach Pursell tied for 75th with a score of 229 (79, 79, 71). Taylor Combs tied for 77th with a 231 (74, 81, 76).
Next week the Bisons head to Braselton, Ga., for the Atlantic Sun Men's Golf Championship.
"This puts us in a good position heading into the conference tournament," Brewer said. "Our expectations are high. We should be confident."

Thatcher's funeral, with full military honors, set for April 17
LONDON -- Margaret Thatcher will be given a funeral just one step short of a full state ceremony on April 17, the government announced, a day after Britain's only female prime minister died at 87, following a stroke.
The former premier will receive a ceremonial funeral in London's St. Paul's Cathedral with full military honors -- the same status as accorded to the Queen Mother in 2002 and Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997, in recognition of her influence on the nation. The date was decided after consultation with Thatcher's family and Buckingham Palace, Prime Minister David Cameron's office said Tuesday in an email.
Queen Elizabeth II will attend the funeral accompanied by her husband Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, her office said Tuesday. It is the first time she will have attended a service for a former prime minister since the 1965 funeral of Britain's wartime leader, Winston Churchill.
Both Houses of Parliament have been recalled from their Easter vacation on Wednesday to pay tribute to Thatcher, who was prime minister from 1979 to 1990. Lawmakers from her Conservative Party praised her strength of character and economic reforms. Political opponents questioned policies that that led to the decline of traditional industries such as mining and drove unemployment to a postwar high of 3.3 million in the mid-1980s.
"I'm saddened obviously by the death but I'm almost amused by the way she still polarizes debate," Ken Clarke, currently a minister without portfolio who also served in Thatcher's government, told BBC Radio 4's "Today" program. "The right and the left have created myths about her government. They're fighting them out even over her memory."
A crowd of 300 people assembled in Glasgow's George Square, where in 1989 protests against the so-called poll tax, a local- authority levy on every resident, took place, the Press Association reported. Some wore party hats and launched streamers into the air while a bottle of champagne was opened with a toast to Thatcher's death.
Anti-capitalist campaigners shouted from loudspeakers, "Maggie, Maggie, Maggie" as the crowd replied, "dead, dead, dead." It was an echo of chants from the 1980s in which protestors would call "Maggie, Maggie, Maggie. Out, out, out."
More than 100 people gathered in Brixton, south London, the scene of 1981 riots against her government's policies. Some scaled the nearby Ritzy Cinema to rearrange the lettering advertising films to read "Margaret Thatchers dead," PA said.
Tom Pine, a lecturer in disaster management at the University of Hertfordshire who served in London's Metropolitan Police Service for 32 years, said the authorities planning the funeral procession will be anxious to prevent any disruption by Thatcher's political opponents.
"The police will be concerned that someone will try to disrupt or attack the funeral cortege to get maximum publicity for their political views," Pine said in a telephone interview. "Given what happened last night, the police will be looking at the extreme fringe of the left and perhaps those concerned about the current government's austerity measures."
Thatcher survived a 1984 assassination attempt when the Irish Republican Army bombed her hotel in Brighton during the Conservatives' annual conference, killing five people. She stuck to her schedule and addressed party members the next day.
"There is also a small but still active element of the IRA that will be examined by the police and security services to see if they pose a threat to security on the day," Pine said.
Thatcher's body was moved from the Ritz Hotel in central London early Tuesday and taken to an undisclosed location as preparations for the funeral began. She had been convalescing in the luxury hotel since coming out of the hospital in December. Thatcher will be cremated in a private ceremony, Cameron's office said Monday.
State funerals are generally reserved for monarchs, though they differ little from ceremonial funerals, in which the carriage bearing the coffin is drawn by horses, rather than sailors from the Royal Navy.
Churchill was the last non-royal to receive a state funeral. Others who have been given the honor include Admiral Horatio Nelson, who died during the Royal Navy's victory over the French and Spanish fleets in 1805, and 19th-century prime ministers including William Gladstone.
Thatcher's coffin will initially be taken to the Chapel of St. Mary Undercroft, a private church used by lawmakers in the 11th-century Westminster Hall, the oldest part of Parliament. The Queen Mother's coffin lay in state in the hall itself for the public to file past. The former prime minister's remains will later be taken to the Royal Air Force chapel of St. Clement Danes on the Strand, just outside the City of London financial district.
From there, her remains will travel in procession to St. Paul's, within the City, less than a mile away, in a carriage drawn by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery. The route will be lined from military representatives. On the steps of St. Paul's, Thatcher will receive a guard of honor from service personnel and retired military from the Royal Hospital Chelsea, known as the Chelsea Pensioners.

For just over two decades, Jon Murray has been watching strangers get real on
After 21 years on the air, the still-breathing reality show gets a shake-up for its San Francisco-set 29th season, which launches Wednesday night.
Sure, there are still seven strangers who stop being polite. But things get ultra-dramatic when they go away for a day trip four weeks into production and return to find their exes have moved into the house — hence, the pun-tastic name: "The Real World: Ex-Plosion!"
Visually, the show also looks different, with quicker pacing and some heavy transitions. And the usually forbidden gadget — the phone — is being allowed in, and there's a closed social-media site that only select members of the cast's entourage had access to (the content will gradually be rolled out for public consumption as the show airs).
It's all an attempt by Murray, who co-created the show along with Mary Ellis-Bunim, and the network to keep the show appealing to a new generation of viewers who have an endless array of content competing for their attention.
Show Tracker spoke with Murray about the evolution.
This doesn't look like the "Real World" I grew up with. Talk about the changes that have been made to the show, and why you felt the need to implement them.
After 28 or so seasons, we just thought it was time to evaluate the show and take a look at it and think about who our audience is today and make some changes as a result of that. So as you'll see, the cast will have a phone, and when they're going out they're taking pictures and we're using those as part of the transitions; there's a closed social-media site where family and loved ones, and most importantly exes, can see what's going on when the cast posts pictures and things. We looked at the way we tell stories and the pacing of the show. We're playing more scenes dry, without music. We're pulling the lens back a little, you see some of the cameras on the floor. We just feel in the reality world where a lot of people are doing soft-scripted and very orchestrated reality television, "Real World" is still very raw, and we wanted to really reinforce that fact.
Did the changes — like the phones — create any challenges?
It really hasn't. We planned for it not to create challenges. Not every cast member has a phone with them when they went out. Just having one person with a phone makes it work, We tried to think through with the social media, we made it a closed social media because we didn't want all the fans to be privy to what was going on too early. So yeah, all that worked fine.
And still at the core, you have seven people who are living together and stopped being polite and started getting real. This time, they just don't know that all of their exes are going to be moving in four weeks into production. For young people, often your ex is your first love, so the ex is someone who they have a very powerful connection to, and it's a person you sometimes measure every future relationship against. At that age, your ex is still an important part of the piece of who you are and how you go about your life. We thought it was something that was a great thing to explore and we also thought it would bring an interesting hook that might get some viewers to check us out who maybe hadn't checked us out in the previous years.
How did the idea even come about? Clearly, you felt the show needed a little something extra. Were you in a room brainstorming ideas or did it just occur randomly? Why this?
We had several months of brainstorming with MTV over possible ideas. Exes were always on that list. We came up with other ideas but we kept coming back to exes. It really wasn't until the end of the process that we stumbled on the idea of having the exes surprise the roommates that we then said, "Oh, yeah, this is the right idea." It's the hook that we think will get people's attention. And we had talked about putting the exes next door, we tried all different derivations of how to make it work.
The die-hard viewers, many who have followed it from the beginning or close to, are very, I guess you could say grandpa-ish about the show. There's a lot of, "It wasn't like this in my day" talk when new seasons roll out. What do you say to those viewers who are looking at this season with a critical eye?
Well, you're right, it seems like every time we're approaching a new season we have our fans who get very nervous if they hear of any changes. I will say, watch the show and judge it for yourself. I think they'll really like.
But you understand where they're coming from, right?
Sure, but if there's anybody who should be concerned about it, it should be me. After all, I'm the guy who created it with Mary Ellis-Bunim, so believe me, I am very attached to this series and to its history. I don't think we've betrayed that at all. I think we very much have stuck to the DNA of the show. It's still very much about young people figuring out who they are, making mistakes, fixing those mistakes. It's just now we have something that connects them all, in that they all have significant exes still in their lives.
I remember being so excited when I finally got permission to watch it. It exposed me to people and things that I hadn't seen. Do you think the show holds the same meaning to viewers?
In many ways, we've made a lot of progress as a country. Young people, more than any other part of the population, seem to look beyond the color of the skin, they look beyond sexuality, but at the same time, there are lots of people this age who are figuring stuff out —on the show and outside the show. This season we have Ashley, where she says to a couple of the roommates that her family could buy their family. So, yes, we make progress, but there is always progress to be made. We still have that diversity on the show, it's just that now it's sort of cool that our lesbian cast mate is probably the least controversial in this cast.
And the genre has certainly expanded since
Yeah, when we started "Real World," I'm not even sure people were using the word "reality." It was sort of this strange new thing. This experiment. And we were in the cable universe on MTV. We were the only one doing a show like this at 10 p.m. Nobody else was doing shows there, not original reality shows. Over the years, we've started to get more competition. Now you'll have six or nine networks a night with reality shows at 10 o'clock. And each network goes for a specific audience. You have History Channel going for men,
But I think the amazing thing about "Real World" is it continues to survive. We hope it continues to. But it's definitely not the open playing field it used to be a few years ago. I think part of "Ex-Plosion!" was trying to find a way to compete with all of that and give our show something that could stand out, something that we could promote, something that would bring viewers to it. I think we are pretty successful with that. The moment when the roommates return from a vacation and find all their exes in the house, it's pretty amazing. And what follows from that — what they go through, the conflict that happens, the lovemaking that happens, all of that, I think, is really interesting. We'll see if I'm wrong.

Jillian Harris and fiance Ed Swiderski continue to be happy together. The two have been together for 2 months now and continue to go strong. They revealed on the After The Rose show last night that Jillian will be moving in with Ed in Chicago. They also hoped to be married within the next 12 months.
In other news Ed's dad, Edward Swiderski Jr, confirmed with a local news magazine that Ed still has his job.
Perhaps there might be another marriage on the horizon for the Bachelor(ette) franchise. Jillian wrote her final blog about the show, with Ed chiming in and writing a few choice words as well.
Below are excerpts from Jillian's blog –
Well … that's a wrap! I will keep this post short and sweet as I have an eager man waiting for me and wanting to get OUT IN PUBLIC together … FINALLY! I have been waiting for this day since May 24th — the day that I can openly tell you how madly in love I am, how happy I am and how excited I am for the future.
Reid and Kiptyn are both unbelievable men. Some will have opinions of why maybe I should have picked one or the other instead of Ed. Some will see why Ed was perfect for me from the beginning. I embrace ALL of your opinions. I can see why you would all think ALL three of these men would be great for me. For those who want to congratulate my happiness … THANK YOU!!! We are both EXTREMELY happy (still) and truly it gets better and better every day we are together.
As I type this, we are off to our FIRST outing in public, hopefully just wings and beer! I am so excited and so eager to get my normal little life back. Ed and I have spent the summer together (every two weeks for five days at a time) and it truly does keep on getting better and better. We have so much fun together, know one another so well and find ourselves so comfortable with each other. We have learned so much about one another and I am loving every minute of it.
Oh wait — someone's stealing my computer! (Ed has some words to say as well) –
Ed here! I cannot believe the journey that we have experienced over the last few months. But we are having a blast and could not be happier. I want to thank everyone for their support and cheering us on. Jilly and I have been spending so much time together and have an incredible summer planned. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU … for believing in Jilly and supporting her throughout this. She means the world to me and I promise I will take good care of her. We are ready for a wicked life together!

Students create rap video on health care act
"I wonder if he were me and I were you would you believe in healthcare? A better welfare?"
Shelby's Students Involved in Community Change program are rapping about positive things in their lives in order to send a message — Take the high road.
Andre Ross, Melik Gooden, Ketravion Davis, Stefan Williams, students of Broad Street High School, and Korderick Davis, a student of John F. Kennedy Memorial High School, worked with leaders of SICC to learn more about the Affordable Care Act as well as it's importance.
A music video was made and supported by the Mississippi Center for Justice.
Meigan Thompson, formerly of the Delta office for the center, focuses on educating people on the Affordable Care Act and particularly young people.
"Kids can benefit the most," said Thompson, who began working with a group of teens in Shelby in 2012 in order to educate them on the Act and health insurance.
Every Tuesday the group had lessons in health care and then Thompson suggested they create a song.
All of the youth are musically inclined — Gooden and Williams are in the band at Broad Street High School, while Ross and others have recorded at the Delta Music Institute.
It was through a teacher at Shelby Middle School that they first learned about producing their own music.
David Rhoades began Peer Power, a group for middle school students, which then inspired SICC for high school students.
"He started a hip hop club on Thursdays where aspiring artists such as myself, Melik, and Ketravion, started producing our own tracks. He taught us how to make our own music," said Ross.
"We used examples from our own environment. We may be young, but we've been through some stuff," said Williams.
"We went through a lot of songs. Some had too much bass and some were too poppy. We finally got it right and it was approved by the Mississippi Center for Justice," said Ross. The students worked together to produce the eight bars needed to complete their own sections of the song.
"We helped each other with what we should sing or how we should sing it," said Williams.
Despite having their work critiqued over and over, the guys said there were no hard feelings when they criticized one another's work.
"We were all raised around each other and we are pretty much a family, like a cohesive unit. Constructive criticism wasn't a big thing for us," said Ross. Each youth wrote their own part, which had to be eight bars.
Ross wrote about a friend of his, Nikolkies, who plays football and takes care of his family, but doesn't have health insurance. Because Ross was out of town when the video was shot, Davis stepped in and lip-synced his section.
"I chose the laundry mat because that's usually a hang out for some people," said Ross.Ross said he chose his friend because of the struggles he faces on a daily basis.
"In combination with him trying to work on himself and better him, he has to watch out for his little brother and sister and make sure that they aren't in the streets to get caught in any kind of crossfire," said Ross.
Williams chose to do his scene in a local church, where he is singing while on his knees praying to God.
"My part was dedicated to my father. My father passed when I was younger. Most of my verse was about him so I chose the church because he was gone and so I was talking to God," said Williams.
Williams sings, "Right now I'm young so I don't have to pay, but when I turn 18 please help me ACA."
Gooden chose to stand on a bridge and sing about his cousin with asthma. He mentioned seeing her have asthma attacks was a very scary thing and he is glad that his aunt now gets health insurance through her current employer.
"My cousin has asthma and for a while my aunt didn't have healthcare. She couldn't get her medicine. I really hate, as a person who loves his family, hate to see them in pain," said Gooden.
Gooden sang, "How can you paint a picture if you don't pick up the brush?"
Davis chose to do his eight bars about a friend of his who runs track. He discussed how different her life would be if she didn't have health insurance to cover her when she got injured.
"My scene was at the football field with Alexis Greyer. She's a young track star and runs track for Broad Street. She frequently gets injured in her ankles and stuff would be real rough for her if she didn't have health care," said Davis.
Greyer is featured in the scene discussing how her life would be different without healthcare while Davis sings, "Life is your track just go on and run with it."The chorus sung by Ross says, "I believe that you and I, I believe that you and me, can achieve," while the four singers hold signs saying, "We can achieve a healthy future!"
The group is now working on creating an entire album with songs that are inspiring and full of positivity.
The video is titled "Students Involved in Community Change - ACA Achieve song" and can be found on Youtube.com

Occupational therapist
Sharon Bennett, an occupational therapist at Saint Agnes Hospital, has been in the profession for more than 30 years. She writes here about her career. What does your job entail? I work in a hospital setting and my job entails evaluating and treating in-patients and out-patients with a multitude of disabilities (such as neurologic diseases and disabilities, shoulder or hand injuries, arthritis, post joint replacements,chronic pain, oncological diseases ). I teach them techniques and strategies to improve their independence in daily activities that are necessary and important to them; whether it be improving their strength and coordination, a one-handed technique, use of adaptive equipment, strategies to improve cognitive (or visual) processing to perform the activity, or evaluating components needed for driving. The "Occupation" in occupational therapy is whatever is meaningful to the person (can range from sitting up to feed oneself, transferring into a shower, applying makeup, use of a computer, or lifting machinery for a job). In treating in-patients, we do not have the luxury of seeing the patients very long, and they are provided with priority recommendations and treatment in basic ADL's (activities of daily living; feeding, bathing, toileting and dressing) or an exercise program of breathing techniques for energy conservation, pain, etc. and UB strenghthening. With out-patients, the focus is more on returning to hobbies, housework, and jobs in addition to self care. What kind of schooling or training did you go through? I graduated quite a long time ago, and I have a bachelor's of science in OT. I was required to do three 2-3 month internships in 3 areas of OT (adult physical dysfunction, psychiatry, and pediatrics). (I later became certified in pain management and ergonomics and was trained in biofeedback for pain management). A master's degree in occupational therapy is now required by all college OT programs and two 3-month internships are required; one in adult physical dysfunction, and one in Psychiatry. Some schools have the option to do a third internship in a specialty area (pediatrics, hand injuries, etc). A few schools no longer require a psychiatric internship, but a different area of physical disabilities. Median salary:$72,320 per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics What inspired you to this career? I originally heard of OT when I was 14, from reading a biography of an OT that worked with veterans after the war to help them to return to work or a hobby after losing a limb, etc. I then got in touch with an OT at an area hospital and volunteered with her during my summer vacations. I thought it was an exciting and gratifying field of work, because many times I saw instant improvement in people's abilities AND their mood after an OT session. The other appealing feature of OT is one can work in a variety of settings (school system, hospital, psychiatric center, home care, rehab center, nursing home or private practice) and one can work part time or full time. What do you like best about your job?My favorite part of my job is when I can make a difference in my patient's quality of life activities but also learning from my patients. I also work with a whole team (of occupational, physical, and speech therapists), and we all learn from each other and try to treat each patient as if he or she is our only one!! What are the challenges? Some of the challenges would be when patients do not progress in spite of being motivated and working hard with their home ex. program (for ex. with trying to restore a paralyzed or weakend arm or manage a painful shoulder). Other challenges are when patients can benefit from out-pt. OT, but insurance does not cover it, or it does not cover a Clinical driving evaluation or adaptations that are needed for improved safety and independence.

Pat Robertson placed blame for marital strife on women's appearances this week, telling a teen who wrote in to Maxim Magazine about his parents' relationship that it could be the wife's fault.
The Huffington Post reports that Robertson decided to respond to the teen, who said his father played too many video games and didn't pay attention to his mother, on his show, "700 Club."
Robertson first said the wife might be too "hard-nosed" to keep the husband's interest, then went on to discuss "awful-looking women."
Robertson told a story about a woman who went to her pastor for marital advice, Salon.com reports. "She was awful looking. Her hair was all torn up, she was overweight and looked terrible," Robertson is quoted as saying.
"And the preacher looked at her and he said, 'Madam, if I were married to you, I'd start to drink too.'" Robertson adds that women can keep the spark of love alive by "fixing themselves up" and "looking pretty."
The Daily Mail posted video of the broadcast.

Particular attention was paid to breastfeeding. Of those seen before delivery, 95 per cent initiated breastfeeding. Early terminations were percipitated by diarrhea, insufficient milk, mothers return to work, mothers sickness, another pregnancy, or other reasons. In almost all cases, the mother was reluctant to wean the child. Decision to do so was often based on folk beliefs not accepted by current specialists. A program to support breastfeeding must find strategies to modify practices that are based on widely-held folk beliefs. (Author)

Pray tell, what exactly the Liberals waiting for? What will show them that this is it, and that they must go now? Are they waiting for a signed invitation from Harper? What about flying pigs? Little girls bearing skittles? Mana from Heaven? Hmmm? No one has told us exactly what these cowardly Liberals are waiting for.
You hear the above, in differing forms, across the blogosphere, as the Liberals are reduced to punching bags, everyone taking shots. Justified? Well obviously, from a principled position, hard to spin the abstaining strategy. It's weak, it's an abdication of responsibility, it's a loser politically, it reinforces negative impressions of Dion, it allows others, namely the NDP, to capitalize on the "opposition" vacuum, it is what it is. If anything, Dion's leadership numbers have plummeted further (who would have thought that possible), the Liberals have failed to benefit from Conservative missteps, missteps that have been plentiful. At best, the Conservatives various scandals have temporarily distracted the media from their previous focus on Liberal inaction, but that was never by design, just luck. In other words, this strategy has accomplished nothing, except to strengthen the arguments of detractors.
I've resigned myself to this strategy, of running out the clock on this session of parliament, spending the summer getting ready, with the ultimate goal of forcing an election in the fall. At some point, you tire of beating your head against a wall, the decision was made months ago, best to make the best of a questionable direction.
Despite my feelings, I acknowledge there are other points of view, and while I vehemently disagree, they aren't without merit. I knew the writing was on the wall, when I heard Dryden at a small fundraiser, he articulated the patience strategy in a clear way. Basically, you only get one chance, you go when you at maximum readiness, armed with policy, solid candidates and a clear gameplan. For whatever reason, those close to Dion feel more time is needed to prepare, a summer of consolidation, the Liberals will be stronger come the fall. Important to remember the timing, these decisions were largely made in the aftermath of the latest Quebec Liberal blowup. No one could quibble with the fact that the Quebec wing of the party was anything but ready, in fact it was in disarray. In waiting, it allows time to get candidates, develop some cohesion, even down to simple things like fax machines and office space. You can understand why some people were "spooked", rightly or wrongly.
I saw the latest no show routine of Liberal MP's, as they take a pass on the Conservatives Immigration reforms. It's hard to get worked up anymore, because it doesn't matter, that ship has sailed. Rather, you just wait for it too end, and hope the summer does bring some positives. I've chosen to distract myself from the abstaining, by focusing on some interesting, and yet to be released, policy ideas. In the end, that is what will matter, and it provides a personal motivation to swallow hard. I don't think the Liberals are cowards, I just think people with the sway have committed to a certain strategy, one that believes short-term pain will pay dividends in the end. In my mind, the Liberals checked out of Parliament a couple months ago, I'm just waiting for it too be official, so we can get on with it.

Here's my problem: I don't want to hurt myself, but having a rolling backpack isn't cool, and I don't want a backpack with two straps. Any tips?
– Matteo*
There's no getting around the truth: If you're going to carry a lot of stuff, two-strap packs or rollers are the safest options. Backpacks are designed for people to carry with both straps, not one.
If you want to go single-shouldered, you're going to have to make some compromises:
The bottom line: If you're not organized enough for all this hassle, you need to find a decent-looking backpack — and use both straps.

In Border Town Criminal Cases, Close Ties Complicate
The intricate relationships of small town residents are complicating major drug and gun investigations in two border cities.
In New Mexico, a retired educator just wrapped up testifying on his own behalf in a 2011 Columbus gun-smuggling case. Danny Burnett, the husband of a U.S. Attorney, denies that he leaked wiretap information to Angelo Vega, who was Columbus' police chief at the time.
In the case, the former Columbus village trustee Blas "Woody" Gutierrez testified that the Juárez Cartel was paying Vega $2,000 a month in protection money.
According to the Albuquerque Journal, Gutierrez told the court that Vega told him he had a friend whose wife worked in the U.S. Attorney's Office and that friend told Vega the phones were tapped.
Meanwhile, in Nogales, Ariz., the Santa Cruz County Attorney asked a judge to dismiss felony drug charges against a Nogales public works employee, citing the discrediting of a local Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.
The ICE agent, Eduardo Cota, was the lead investigator in the city employee drug ring scandal. Prosecutors now say that he withheld crucial evidence against the key defendant and contradicted himself in his testimony about the defendant's actions.
Cota's discrediting may even tangle older cases where he was the lead investigator.
As for the New Mexico case, it is expected to go to jury Thursday.

Court Order Delays Flagg's RV Resort Auction
April 3, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Court Order Delays Flagg's RV Resort Auction
Flagg's RV Resort LLC has successfully obtained a restraining order to temporarily stop the mortgage holder of the York, Maine, camper park from selling the property at foreclosure auction.
Seacoastonline.com reported that the RV park was scheduled for foreclosure auction on March 22, according to a published public notice. On March 21, the York County Superior Court granted Flagg's a 60-day emergency temporary restraining order, according to court records.
Flagg's is part of Morgan RV Resorts of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., a business now called Morgan Recreation Vacations. In court records, Flagg's is listed as a Delaware company, and in 2007, was among seven campgrounds Morgan used as collateral toward a $38 million loan from Countrywide Commercial Real Estate Finance Inc.
The Countrywide loan was transferred several times and the mortgage is now held by a limited liability company from Delaware, which sought to foreclose on all the properties and scheduled the Flagg's auction, according to the published notice of the sale.
Neither Robert Moser of Morgan RV Resorts nor the mortgage company's attorney Kevin Collins, of Wilmington, Del., returned phone calls for comment.
The day after the originally scheduled auction, workers at the York Beach camper park who said they worked for Morgan were disassembling and moving to an undisclosed location an estimated half-dozen "park models" — cottage-like recreational vehicles. The park models were recently brought in, having replaced two other types of units in the park.
When Morgan brought in the first park models two years ago, it ousted an estimated 10 seasonal RVs from the park. Other campers, fearful of the change, moved out on their own accord, with many going to Wells Beach. Where once there were more than 80 RVs at Flagg's, about a dozen remain, according to longtime camper Patricia Lee, commenting through The York Weekly's Facebook page.
How the potential foreclosure of Flagg's affects the remaining seasonal residents, who expect to return to York Beach this summer, is still unknown. Lee and camper Melvin Riggs of Oklahoma said they've already paid Morgan some or all of the money on their estimated $5,000 lease to stay at Flagg's for the season. The money was due April 1, they said.
Riggs said representatives from Morgan called him almost daily for at least a week in March, trying to get him to pay the remaining $3,700 on his estimated $5,200 summer lease before the deadline.
Neither was told of the scheduled March 22 foreclosure sale, they said.
Morgan Recreation Vacations sought to stop not only of the foreclosure on Flagg's RV Resort, but also on two other Maine properties in Rockport, Megunticook RV Resort LLC and Camden Hills RV Resort LLC, according to the Bangor Daily News.

The Flinch
Had a very disheartening day at the range. It was my first time since early December I've been able to shoot (yeah, I know, law school is a time thief), and I was shaky like a first time shooter. Once it was bad enough to cause a friend's pistol to FTE. Wasn't just with my .40, was also with a Ruger SR9 that couldn't have been a gentler shooter.
When I shoot regularly, this is no issue, but after these cold spells my shooting is truly dreadful. Any way to fight that flinch, especially those nasty anticipatory ones right before the shot?

You answered your own question. Get back into it and shoot regularly. and the little voice in the back of the head what makes you flinch by saying it going to hurt? Tell him to shut up and ignore him is what I do.

I recommend getting back to the basics. Concentrating on my sight picture / sight alignment, thereby letting the trigger break come as a surprise, always works for me.

There is no human skill that is as perishable, or erodes so quickly as shooting a handgun. While after thousands of rounds, some muscle memory is retained, if you want to stay on top of your game, you'll need to shoot regularly.
Flinch is one of the banes of shooters that we've been fighting since I suppose the first guy picked up a gonne, turned his head, closed his eyes and let fly. When I was trap shooting we'd see it pretty regularly, even from seasoned shooters. Flinch manifests itself in many ways. One guy couldn't pull the trigger, but would take a step forward, then another, then another till he was walking toward the trap house. We'd start laughing and he'd awake from his reverie, beak open his gun and walk back to the line. Once, we even had a pool started about how many steps he'd take. One wag bet that he'd actually get one foot on the trap house, but he never got quite that far.
Another guy wore one of those cute little leather bags that held a whole box of shells and when he'd flinch, his midsection would buck and shells would fly up out of the pouch. Quite entertaining.
Finish up law school and pass the bar. Then work on your flinch. It'll come in handy the first time you argue a case.

I think the core of the problem has been addressed, but, if time is a problem and you can't get in there on a regular basis, what about starting out with a .22 when you do get back into the range? If that is available, a few mags full of some .22LR should help and not cause you to flinch so much.

Buy a good pellet pistol like the Daisy 717 and practice at home. The gun's super quiet and accurate, there's no recoil, the ammo's almost free and you can use a box of newspapers for a backstop.
If you want to learn trigger control, follow-through and calling the shot, there's no better way.

Dryfire, dryfire, dryfire, .... One of the best cures for flinching. Occasionally I will catch myself flinching. When I do, I will dry fire 10 or so times, shoot a mag, then dryfire again. I may repeat this entire process during my entire time at the range. It does help.

Nothing but nothing works on a flinch like hour upon hour of dry firing.
Dry firing would be better if you had a laser sight so you can see what really happens down range.
It's cheap, doesn't cost a dime, you can do it most any where. Set on your couch watching TV, dry fire during the commercials, rest during the show.
A hint about dry firing; We all know the four basic rules of firearm safety, background or beyond the target is important. When you set up your dry firing target, step outside and see what would be hit if you screwed up and let one go while dry firing.
An example in my front room, I have a target set up, If I was to shoot that target I'd get a little bitty hole in my wall and the bullet would impact on a mountain hurting nothing.
In my shop I have another target for dry firing. If I screw up there I'd hit a dirt bank about 20 ft tall behind my shop. Also in my shop I have a window I shoot through during bad weather. I hang targets there and dry fire also. If I screw up, my bullet would impact at my pistol targets I shoot at anyway.
But Dry Fire, it develops trigger control, builds muscle memory which eliminates flinches.

Dryfire is great, but it will not teach you to call your shots.
You will not be a good pistol shot until you can shoot good groups on demand. You will not be able to do that until you can call your shots correctly.

If you CONCENTRATE on the FRONT SIGHT, you CANNOT anticipate the shot and flinch. Your mind can't do those two things at the same time.
Thats the true, and often misunderstood, reason for the focus being on the front sight.

However, practicing it for ever how long, and how ever many thousands of times, will never eliminate flinching. Why? We all know that it's easy not to flinch when the gun is only going to go "click". When we get on the range, there's still the anticipation that the gun is going to go "bang", even after all the "clicks" without flinching. You still have to do it under fire.
Flinching must be overcome thru actual firing while focusing on the front sight, after all that dry firing has taught you the proper way to pull the trigger, and how to line up the sights.
AGAIN: If you're focusing on the front sight while co-ordinating the trigger pull, your mind can't anticipate the shot and cause a flinch.
How do I know? Same as you and everyone else. I don't flinch during dry firing, but sometimes do when shooting. But NOT when focusing on the front sight like I should be.
And yet, we hear about dryfiring being the cure to everything over and over again, like a parrot asking for a cracker.
LASTLY: And NO, I don't always manage to focus on the F. sight. Not as easy as it sounds for every shot, especially under a little stress.

Dry firing does help and it is hard to fool the brain, but its easy to confuse, so switching back and forth from a 22 to your 44 Mag or whatever helps a lot. It makes you concentrate harder when you flinch on a 22! Conversely, you know you got it when you drop that hammer on a 44 Mag and your brain is expecting a 22.

Nnobby45 and I agree, concentrating on the front sight will greatly help flinch. About a year ago I was shooting OK with my 357 revolver with open sights, and decided to "up grade" to a red dot. Within 2 weeks I had developed a flinch that would come and go. Could not figure out what happened. In March I bought a Beretta 92FS with open sights and discover why I was flinching with the revolver. I had lost focus on the sight and was thinking about the recoil.
I would also recommend buying .40 snap caps. Have someone intermix the live rounds with the dummies so you do not know the difference. After 3 - 4 clips, your finch will be greatly reduced.

Flinching is over come when the pistol fires as a surprise: if the pistol or rifle fires unexpectedly you can't flinch. There are several methods to snap in; Kraigwy gave you one good method, let me share mine with you. You need three thing to shoot accurately: a uniform grip, proper trigger finger placement and above all else, sights that are aligned when the trigger is released. All three are required to releasing the trigger without flinching.
I snap in against a blank white wall without a target. I stand about ten feet away and I practice different grips and different trigger finger placement. Any misalignment of the sights is readily apparent.
When you are at the range if your sights are aligned the targert will blur: a blurred target tells you that you are doing it right.

The target is blurred because the focus is on the front sight---and so is your concentration. That's why the shot comes as a "surprise", since you can't focus on the sight and on recoil anticipation at the same time.
You may not be "surprised" during rapid fire, but you still focus on the sight for each shot. Jeff Cooper called it the "flash" sight picture, because you're varifiying that your sight is back on target as you keep shooting.
Keep that focus during rapid fire, and you'll be amazed at what small groups you can shoot with practice---it's TIMING. Lose that focus and you'll be amazed at how many misses you get and you'll be just another shooter at the range sprayin' and prayin'.

If you have access to a revolver, I like to leave 2-3 of the chambers empty and shoot as normal. When you hit an empty chamber and flinch, you will see it. This helped me to stop flinching pretty quickly.
You can accomplish the same thing in an auto using inert rounds or snap caps. This will bonus as practice clearing malfunctions quickly.

Don't be giving me that LS stuff. BTDT. In four months you can't shoot because your studying too hard? ha,ha,ha,ha
Seems like you've had enough time since 2009 to amass over 1300 posts.
You deserve to be a flinching barrister to be.
Turn off your smart phone, turn off your pc, turn off your home theater, turn off you Wii, and all that other electrical crap, stop going to Starbucks for a double expresso, carmel macciado, or whatever that crap is your drinking and go sit in the woods for a few hours. Then go to the range and I guarantee you'l shoot just fine.
BTW, I've been a member of the Bar for 38 years, thank goodness I didn't have to be a lawyer for most of it.

Bookmarked. Great thread.
To the OP, have you tried the "ball and dummy" drill? While some may say it's only a diagnostic test for a flinch, for me I think the drill really helps suppress it. Especially after the trigger breaks on the dummy round for the second or third time. I work this drill into my routine when I feel like the flinch is coming back.

Inert rounds are worth a lot more than you pay for them. I love sneaking them into magazines for others. Big wakeup call.

Here's a capsule look at Minuteman's bid for a new school.
Minuteman Regional Vocational-Technical School
758 Marrett Road, Lexington
The current district comprises 16 towns, including Dover.
Background: Minuteman is in the process of gaining approval to build a new school. The current facility has been in use since the 1970s; because of the building's condition, Minuteman has received a "Warning" status from the Massachusetts School Building Authority.
The district has two options — build a new school (nearly $145 million, with the state providing a 44 percent reimbursement); or renovate ($100 million, a timeline of 6-10 years, no state reimbursement).
In 2015-16, Minuteman spearheaded two votes — a new regional agreement, which includes an easier option for member towns to withdraw from the district; and approval to fund the project.
Six towns — Sudbury, Wayland, Boxborough, Carlisle, Lincoln and Weston — have voted to leave the district; the 2016-17 school year will be their last with Minuteman.
Of the remaining towns, all but one approved the funding portion of the project during spring town meetings. Since a unanimous vote from district member towns is required, Belmont's negative vote halted the process. School officials met with Belmont on June 20, but the town remained steadfast in its vote.
What Happens Now: On June 27, the Minuteman School Committee voted to appropriate $144,922,478 for the building of a new district school, and to authorize a district-wide referendum to be held Tuesday, Sept. 20, from noon-8 p.m.
If the majority of voters say yes, the project can proceed.
The costs for the election will be paid by the Minuteman School District.
The state has extended the deadline for the district to secure funding approval to Nov. 30.

News Release
U.S. General Services Administration
August 14, 2012
Contact: Mafara Hobson, firstname.lastname@example.com
GSA Freezes Federal Travel Reimbursement Rates
Per Diem Rates for Fiscal Year 2013 Remain at 2012 Levels to cut costs
WASHINGTON -- Today, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced it will set government-wide per diem travel reimbursement rates for fiscal year (FY) 2013 at current 2012 levels. The action will help federal agencies meet the Obama Administration's directives to reduce travel costs government-wide. GSA sets the federal government's reimbursement rates for lodging, meals, and incidentals for federal employees' official government travel. Freezing the federal travel reimbursement rates will save an estimated $20 million in avoided costs in FY 2013.
This action supports an Office of Management and Budget memorandum, directing federal agencies to decrease all travel spending in FY 2013 by 30 percent compared to FY 2010. In addition, as part of Acting Administrator Dan Tangherlini's ongoing top-to-bottom review of GSA operations, freezing per diem rates is one of several measures the administrator has taken to ensure the agency is closely evaluating travel spending.
"GSA is undergoing a rigorous review process to find ways in which we can streamline agency operations and save money across the government," said Acting Administrator Dan Tangherlini. "By keeping per diem rates at current levels, we are supporting federal agencies in controlling costs and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are used wisely." FY13 Per Diem Rates go into effect Oct 1. Current Per Diem rates are available on GSA's Per Diem web page.

The Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute is calling for 2011 Student Architectural Design Competition entries through May 31. The project will address total-precast concrete design solutions for multiunit housing, including concepts for duplex, apartment, senior and extended-care housing projects, as well as hotels, motels, dormitories, and military barracks. Students will be evaluated on ability to creatively design and technically integrate architectural and structural total-precast concrete systems. They can use a selected site-specific location at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, or develop their own existing site.
Consideration for sustainable building practices will be a major element in the competition. Successful entries will be characterized by innovative use of precast/ prestressed concrete as an agent in sustainable design. A minimum potential LEED silver rating is required to be integrated into the design. The competition is open to students currently enrolled in any architecture-related program, such as architecture, landscape architecture, construction management, interior design, or any program with an emphasis on the built environment.
Competition entries may be the work of an individual student or can be submitted as a team from a school. Student organizations, such as AIAS, may enter the competition as a possible fundraiser for the organization. Each entry must have a faculty advisor. Design winners will be announced in July and awards presented at the PCI 2011 Annual Convention & Exhibition, October 22–25, in Salt Lake City.
Awards information, submittal requirements and forms can be obtained by clicking on Architectural Competition at www.pci.org. Other questions or sponsorship inquiries can be directed to PCI Managing Director, Research and Development,

Rated 5 out of 5 by delicesdelisse from Great seasonal versatility! Wonderful at the price. I like that the design team made the back in a synthetic knit instead of a lightweight leather, as I will be able to wear this in spring, summer, and fall: all leather would have been too hot. Flattering lines on the torso and arms. Another bebe success at a very good price. The sizing is good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by OptimisticI from In Love After reading the reviews,I had mixed feelings about purchasing the jacket.After receiving it via mail,and seeing it in person.I was blown away.The backside panels are not leather.However,the front is.It was worthy of the $100.00 bucks I spent.It is so slick and stylish.It can be worn solely as outerwear(weather),or as suit-like attire during cooler climates.I love it!!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Soupset from Go For Another Bebe jacket Let me start of by saying that I try to purchase a new jacket very year from Bebe, so I am aware for my size and the usual leather quality Bebe uses which I love. Unfortunately with this leather jacket it isn't the case, and to make matters worse it was on sale which means I can't return it. First of all this jacket runs big and it makes you look BIG with the huge shoulder pads it has that I wasn't aware of. The leather is really hard and ruff unlike my other jackets. Overall it's an ugly jacket badly made. PLEASE don't let the pics of the model deceive you. It will most def not look like that.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Deni from Nice jacket but fits big and not accurately described Bebe is great for stylish leather jackets. I own several and bought this one hoping to add a light colored one to my closet. Ordered large as that is the typical size I need to fit over chest but it was too big. I like my jackets fitted not baggy so a medium would probably have fit but I decided to send back without ordering again. Because this is not a 100% leather jacket I would not pay full price. I knew that the back was not fully leather as I saw this item in store as well but I do think that Bebe should be careful with their descriptions. I own several leather jackets from different stores and I have never read descriptions from any other store that describes an item as 100% leather unless the item is completely leather and I do think that stating this as 100% leather when it is mixed with another fabric is misleading to customers. I had this happen with a previous Bebe jacket described as 100% leather which when I received it had a different material on the underside of the sleeves but this material was not in the description or had pics which would have revealed this. Bebe, it does not take much time to add a few words to ensure that an item is completely and accurately described!

Rated 4 out of 5 by NellyBelly from Super Cool This is a beautiful jacket, it fits amazing. When I tried it on I couldn't stop looking at myself. The feel of the material is soft. Very chic.

Rated 1 out of 5 by girlspell from Disappointed The leather was not up to it. Kind of cheap. It looked more like a knit jacket instead of leather. Frankly I was expecting something more substantial, but you get what you paid for. I can see why they dropped the price from $198.00 to $98.00. I returned mine. Now really?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chloe from Nice jacket I bought this in a size small the same size I get for bebe dresses I buy.It fit great its not too short on and I'am 5'9 height so that was a plus.It is not all leather but you can tell from looking through the pics that the back of the jacket was a different material so I thought that was pretty clear I didnt have a problem with that at all it looks nice I knew what I was getting when I bought it.I would suggest whatever size you normally buy in bebe clothing to order it in thats ize it will most likely fit.

The winter solstice is coming up soon, and we have some great ideas to help your family celebrate the start of winter. Whether your winters are warm and dry or cold and snowy, you can use these indoor and outdoor activities to have fun as a family and help your kids learn about winter:
1. Encourage your kids to read. Reading is an excellent activity for keeping kids engaged during the winter months. In addition to encouraging your kids to read on their own, you can make reading a family time activity. Books are also an excellent way to help kids learn about winter. The Snowy Day, Winter Big Book, The Mitten, Snowballs, and Snow would all be great additions to your child's book collection.
2. Have an outdoor (or indoor) family snowball fight! This is a fun way for your family to stay active and exercise during the winter months. If it doesn't snow where you live or it's too cold outside for the kids to play, we have the perfect solution for your family. Snowtime Anytime Snowballs feel like real snowballs and can be used indoors or outdoors, which means your family can have snowball fights anytime during the winter or all year long.
3. Ask children what changes they are noticing in the weather. This gives you the opportunity to discuss weather words, weather instruments, how people forecast the weather, and other weather basics. Kids will be particularly interested in snow at this time of the year, so encourage them to play in the snow or make their own paper snowflakes. Books about snow, such as Snow is Falling, will also help them understand weather and how it changes. Older kids may enjoy having a weather station to help them monitor weather conditions and make their own forecasts.
4. Take your kids ice skating at an indoor or outdoor skating rink. Ice skating is a great way to get your kids out of the house during the winter months. It will also help improve their balance and coordination. After your family burns some calories on the ice, be sure to warm up with a cup of hot chocolate or a bowl of soup. Remember that it's best not to use a frozen pond in your neighborhood because the ice may not be thick enough or your kids may wander off to an area of the ice that isn't safe. Sledding and skiing are two other wintertime activities your family may enjoy.
5. Talk to kids about animals and plants that are commonly seen in winter. Point out or ask kids which animals and plants they see more of in winter. This is a good way to start a discussion about hibernation and migration. Books, such as Time to Sleep, can also help you explain why certain animals hibernate or migrate during the winter months. Encourage your kids to take pictures or keep a journal of changes they notice in nature during the winter months.
6. Come up with fun art and craft projects your kids can do indoors or outdoors. Kids can become bored pretty fast during the winter months, especially if the weather is bad and they can't go outdoors. Fun art and craft projects will help engage your kids on gloomy winter days, but make sure you also have projects they can do outside when the weather is nice enough. It's also a good idea to have a variety of art and craft supplies on hand to help engage your children during their breaks from school or on snow days.
Check back on Monday for Day 12 of our 12 Days of Learning!

Thrush is a yeast infection of the tongue and lining of the mouth.
Alternative Names
Candidiasis - oral; Oral thrush; Fungal infection - mouth; Candida - oral
Certain germs normally live in our bodies. This includes bacteria and fungi. While most germs are harmless, some can cause infection.
Thrush occurs in children and adults when too much of a fungus called Candida grows in your mouth. A small amount of this fungus normally lives in your mouth. It is usually kept in check by your immune system and other germs that also live in your mouth.
When your immune system is weak or when normal bacteria die, too much of the fungus can grow.
You are more likely to get thrush if:
- You are in poor health.
- You are very old. Young babies are also more likely to develop thrush.
- You have
HIVor AIDS.
- You are receiving
chemotherapyor drugs that weaken the immune system.
- You are taking steroid medicine, including some inhalers for asthma and COPD.
- You have
diabetesand your blood sugar is high. When your blood sugar is high, some of the extra sugar is found in your saliva and actsas food for Candida.
- You take antibiotics. Antibiotics kill some of the healthy bacteria that keep Candida from growing too much.
- Your dentures dont fit well.
Candida can also cause yeast infections in the vagina.
Symptoms of thrush include:
- White, velvety sores in the mouth and on the tongue
- Some bleeding when you brush your teeth or scrape the sores
- Pain when swallowing
Exams and Tests
Your doctor or dentist can usually diagnose thrush by looking at your mouth and tongue. The sores are easy to recognize.
To confirm you have thrush, your doctor may:
- Take a sample of a
mouth soreby gently scraping it
- Examine mouth scrapings under a microscope
In severe cases, thrush can grow in your esophagus as well. The esophagus is the tube that connects your mouth to your stomach. If this occurs, your doctor may:
- Take a throat culture to see what germs are causing your thrush
- Examine your esophagus and stomach with a flexible, lighted scope with a camera on the end
If you get mild thrush after taking antibiotics, eat yogurt or take over-the-counter acidophilus pills. This may help restore a healthy balance of germs in your mouth.
For a more severe case of thrush, your doctor may prescribe:
- Antifungal mouthwash (nystatin)
- Lozenges (clotrimazole)
- Antifungal medicines taken as a pill or syrup -These medicines include fluconazole (Diflucan) or itraconazole (Sporanox).
Outlook (Prognosis)
Oral thrush can be cured. However, if your immune system is weak, thrush may come back or cause more serious problems.
Possible Complications
If your immune system is weak, Candida can spread throughout your body, causing a serious infection.
This infection might affect your:
- Brain (
- Esophagus (esophagitis)
- Eyes (
- Heart (
- Joints (
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your doctor if:
- You have thrush-like sores
- You have pain or difficulty swallowing
- You have symptoms of thrush and you are HIV positive, receiving chemotherapy, or you take medications to suppress your immune system
If you get thrush often, your doctor may recommend taking antifungal medication on a regular basis to keep thrush from coming back.
If you have diabetes, you can help prevent thrush by keeping good control of your blood sugar levels.

How-To Replace Ford Expedition Rear Brake Pads
Brake pads on large sport utility vehicles like the Ford Expedition often wear out more quickly than passenger cars and brake jobs can be costly but with only basic tools you can save yourself the money and service your own brake systems.
Other than the parts, to change your own rear brake pads you will need the following items:
-A floor jack
-Wheel wrench
-A socket set and ratchet
-Large pliers or c-clamp
-A wire brush
-Flat head screwdriver
Step One
Open the hood and check the brake fluid level before beginning. If your brake fluid is very low you may have more severe brake system problems. With your F150 on the ground, take your wheel lug wrench and break the lugnuts loose. DO NOT REMOVE THEM; just make sure that they are all broken loose. This can be much harder to do when the truck is off the ground.
Step Two
Jack up the driver's side of your F150 and place a jack stand under the truck then repeat on the passenger's side. Use the wheel lug wrench to remove the lug nuts and rear wheels. If you have an issue with the brake fluid level, inspect around the brake calipers and brake hoses for any wetness. If you have extremely low brake fluid the calipers and brake hoses are the most likely sources of a major leak.
Step Three
Look on the back of your brake calipers and find the two smaller bolts that hold the floating portion of the caliper in place. Do not confuse them with the thick bolts closer to the axles. Use your socket set to loosen the caliper bolts and put the screwdriver in through the top hole in the caliper, prying against the back of the front brake pad. This will make it easier to slide the floating part of the caliper off of the rotor. Once off of the rotor, the brake pads will pop off of the caliper.
Step Four
You need to push the caliper piston back in and this is where the large pliers or c-clamp comes into play. You may be able to fit pliers around the caliper to shove the piston back in but if not, you will need to put the c-clamp on the piston and drive it back in. Take the wire brush and clean off any dirt or rust on the portion of the caliper still bolted over the rotor, doing the same to the now-loose part. Once the friction areas of the caliper are clean, put the new pads on the floating portion of the caliper and slide them over the rotor, finishing if off by re-installing the two bolts in the back of the caliper.
Step Five
Move to the other side and repeat steps 3, 4 and 5.
Step Six
Put the wheels back on and tighten down the lugnuts. Lower the truck to the ground and recheck the lugnuts. Remember that when doing a brake job you may have a loss of brake pressure when you first drive it after doing the work so make sure that you pump the brakes until the pedal feels normal.

Hosting a Safe Pool Party
Pool Party season is upon us, and this being National Water Safety Month, it's a great time to review some pool safety information - in particular, how to host a safe pool party.
Each year, hundreds of emergency room visits are made for near-drownings or diving injuries. In most cases, a lifeguard was not designated.
Guests can also become injured around the deck, by slipping and falling, or by just moving around unfamiliar terrain and surroundings.
Here's some ways to increase your level of pool safety around the pool during your next pool party.
- Walk the deck slowly, looking for any trip hazards, like uneven concrete slabs. You can mark toe-stubbers with bright colored tape, or patch with caulking.
- If you have any low areas that collect water and has become slippery, treat with a bleach solution, a brush and a hose. During the party, keep sweeping any accumulating puddles.
- Remove any obstacles that are close to the pool, such as chairs, toys or planters.
- Place No Running signs around the pool, and enforce the rule on swift kids.
- Look for any sharp or pointy objects in the range of 2-5 ft in height, that might poke an eye.
- Place No Diving signs around the pool. Classic or Amusing.
- Place a chair on top of diving boards, with a No Diving sign.
- Remind small children (and especially large men) to not dive.
- Be watchful of out of control jumping, or kids entering the pool unsafely.
- Trampolines or other large objects, should be moved far away from the pool! ;-)
- Hiring a lifeguard, from the local swim team or community pool is best.
- Designate a suitably sober and mature person to take a lifeguard shift.
- Give them oral and written instructions on the pool rules, to keep consistency.
- Buy a lifeguard cap, whistle and some zinc oxide, to make them official.
- Keep an eye on your lifeguard. Relieve them every 30-60 minutes.
- Keep an even closer eye on the pool as the party winds down.
- If the party moves indoors, due to weather or nightfall - lock the doors and pool gates.
- No Glass or Ceramic items in the pool area. Use plastic cups, plates and flatware.
- Ask a friendly "Can you Swim?" of all of your guests to identify non-swimmers.
- Don't allow any diving into the pool.
- Don't allow tipsy guests to use the pool.
- Don't allow guests to fall asleep on floating lounge chairs.
- Don't allow swimmers to hyperventilate before going underwater.
