ROMNEY IS USING THAT STATEMENT TO RALLY HIS SUPPORTERS THIS WEEK.
Now I know there are some people who think what the president said was just a gaffe. It wasn't a gaffe. It was instead his ideology. The president does in fact believe that people who build enterprises like this really aren't responsible for it, but in fact a collective success of the whole society that somehow builds enterprises like this. In my view, we have to celebrate people who start enterprises. In my view, we have to celebrate people who start enterprises and employ other people.
ROMNEY SPENT MUCH OF THURSDAY CAMPAIGNING IN MASSACHUSETTS.

S/ Melissa Holmes / Reporting
LOSING A PIECE OF JEWELRY CAN BE UPSETTING. EVEN WORSE, WHEN IT'S AN ENGAGEMENT RING WHICH ENDS UP AT THE BOTTOM OF LAKE ERIE.
MELISSA HOLMES HAS THE STORY OF A REAL-LIFE TREASURE HUNT.
"Just losing that ring off my finger, I felt. not complete."
IN THE DARK AND MURKY WATERS OF LAKE ERIE IN ANGOLA, SOMEWHERE WAS SAMANTHA PECKENS' ONE-CARAT, PRINCESS CUT
DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING.
THE RING SLIPPED OFF SUNDAY WHEN SHE WAS PLAYING FOOTBALL IN THE WATER WITH HER FIANCEE ADAM AND FRIENDS.
"I screamed, "my ring fell off' to everybody, and everyone just instantly started looking. And, you know, he's telling me calm down, you know, no one got hurt, this and that as I'm sobbing."
ADAM WAS THERE TO CONSOLE SAM, AS HE'S ALWAYS BEEN.
THE TWO HAVE BEEN TOGETHER 15 YEARS, SINCE SAM WAS JUST 12.
AND THAT'S WHY THIS RING JUST CAN'T BE REPLACED.
"We went through so much together as kids, and growing up together, and. it was everything to me. It never came off my finger. And when it did, especially in the water, it just broke my heart. Absolutely broke my heart."
AS MANY AS 30 PEOPLE SEARCHED THAT FIRST DAY AND FOUND NOTHING.
ENTER DREW SUPON.
"I do a little treasure hunting on my own."
AND HE HEARD ABOUT HIS FRIEND'S SEARCH AND KNEW HIS UNDERWATER METAL DETECTOR WOULD COME IN HANDY.
"Picking up a lot of trash and bottle caps and pop tops. You'd be amazed how much junk is out there."
BUT IT WAS THE END OF DAY TWO NOW, AND STILL NO RING.
"We were starting to give up."
"We were finding it. I just. had a really good feeling about it."
BACK IN THE WATER ON DAY THREE, DREW SAID HE JUST HAD A FEELING ABOUT ONE SPOT.
"I just decided to slide my hand into the sand and raise it up, and it was so dark. And once it settled, the sun hit it at the right angle,
and what I thought was another Pepsi pull tab was Sam's ring in my hand."
JAWS HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE FLOOR OF LAKE ERIE, AND DREW HANDED THE RING OVER TO SAM'S FIANCEE.
"And Adam, my fiancee, he had come up to me and said, 'did you find the ring yet?' I was like, 'no, I didn't find it yet.' And he had it in his hands like that, and I started flipping out. Oh my god, oh my god. I started crying. It was like he proposed to me again, all over again."
ONCE JUST AN ACQUAINTANCE, DREW MIGHT NOW BE AN HONORARY BEST MAN AT THE WEDDING.
"I keep on saying he's my hero."
"Three, four feet of water. Five inches of sand. It was basically a needle in a haystack, so I'm pretty amazed that we found it."
EVERY TIME SAM LOOKS DOWN NOW AND SEES THAT RING ON HER FINGER, SHE KNOWS IT'S FATE.
"If you lose it and it comes back, it's meant to be. And that's exactly how I feel about this. I just. I don't know, I feel like it's good fortune for the rest of our relationship."

NIGHTS OF RESTLESS SLEEP MAY BE AN EARLY SIGN A PERSON WILL END UP IN AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY!
A NEW STUDY FROM THE JOHNS HOPKINS BLOOMBERG SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH SHOWS THAT OLDER WOMEN WHO WOKE UP OFTEN DURING THE NIGHT HAD HIGHER ODDS OF LATER GOING TO A NURSING HOME THAN WOMEN WHO GOT MORE RESTFUL SLEEP.
THIS DOESN'T PROVE A DIRECT LINK BETWEEN SLEEP PROBLEMS AND FUTURE HEALTH PROBLEMS IN THE ELDERLY. BUT DOES WARRANT FURTHER STUDY, ACCORDING TO RESEARCHERS.

S/ RYLEE STARK, DIABETES PATIENT:15-:22
S/ CORRIE STARK, MOTHER:27-:34
A YOUNG EVERETT GIRL FACED A DEVASTATING MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS.
BUT HER MOM FOUND A SIMPLE WAY TO HELP HER DAUGHTER FEEL NORMAL AND STAY ACTIVE.
ELISA HAHN EXPLAINS HOW THEY'RE TRYING TO SHARE THE IDEA WITH OTHERS.
TALK TO RYLEE STARK FOR A FEW MINUTES.
"I am 8 years old."
AND YOU CAN LEARN A LOT ABOUT HER.
"My favorite color is pink. I do like fashion, a lot."
PART OF HER FASHION IS A LITTLE PINK POCKET ON HER TANK TOP -- THAT HIDES A SECRET.
"I'm able to do hula hoop, and do cartwheels and I don't have to worry about it falling out."
THE "FASHION MEETS FUNCTION" POCKET WAS HER MOM'S IDEA.
"I wanted something that wouldn't be a conversation piece and would make her feel like everybody else."
AND IT SEEMS TO WORK.
WITH HOW ACTIVE RYLEE IS -- YOU'D NEVER KNOW THIS LITTLE GIRL WITH TYPE ONE DIABETES HAS AN INSULIN PUMP ATTACHED TO HER ABDOMEN.
"I wanted her to be able to play soccer, jump, hula hoop and ride a bike without worry about it falling out. because if it falls out it could pull that port out of her stomach. These are some of my favorite ones we have tons of them."
WITH THE HELP OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY -- CORRIE STARK CAME UP WITH A TANK TOP LINE CALLED RYLEE'S POCKET.
DESIGNED FOR KIDS AND WOMEN WITH INSULIN PUMPS, THEY CAN BE WORN AS AN UNDERSHIRT.
"Put a button hole in back so the tubing can go through, a zipper so it doesn't fall out, and then she goes to school and people say i want that tank top that's so cute where'd you get it?"
SO NOW -- AFTER HER DISAPPOINTING DIAGNOSIS A YEAR AGO -- RYLEE HAS COME FULL CIRCLE.
"I love the pump it is fantastic."
AND HER FAMILY IS NOW SELLING THE TANK TOPS AND RAISING MONEY TO SHARE RYLEE'S POCKET WITH OTHER DIABETICS.
"it's for everyone! Yeah!
RYLEE'S POCKET TANK TOPS COST 20 DOLLARS AND ARE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ONLINE.
THEY ARE HOPING TO RAISE ENOUGH MONEY TO PROVIDE THE SHIRTS TO DIABETES CAMPS FOR KIDS.
