Lori Manship leads a water aerobics class at the YWCA on Friday. The YWCA is launching a new line of water aerobics classes specifically designed for breast cancer survivors.

Starting Wednesday, June 5, the YWCA pool will launch a line of water aerobics classes for breast cancer survivors with an added perk all classes are completely free. Survivors won't even have to worry about the pool membership fee.

It's all covered under a $15,000 grant courtesy of the Cape Fear Memorial Foundation.

The program is called Fluid Recovery, presented by the YWCA and the Pretty in Pink Foundation and taught by certified healing fitness instructor Lori Manship.

I'm really excited about it. It's a whole body workout concentrating heavily on those targeted areas the chest, shoulders, back to really help these women after their treatments, said Manship.

Manship approached Lance Tate, YWCA aquatics director, about starting the program after working with a number of breast cancer survivors in the water and seeing the results.

Both deep and shallow water Fluid Recovery classes will be offered three to four times a week for a full year. The grant pays for all equipment, instruction and fees.

The YWCA is giving us the facility, the Cape Fear Foundation gave us the money and at Pretty in Pink, we have the connection with the survivors, said Joy Wade, Pretty in Pink Foundation program manager. When you have all the nonprofits working together, this is what can happen.

Breast cancer survivor Robin Glover started taking breast cancer-geared water aerobics with Manship at the YWCA after her radiation treatments. She's registered for the upcoming Fluid Recovery program.

If I hadn't started doing this, my shoulder would probably be what they call locked up,' said Glover, who experienced side effects from radiation.

In case you havent been drooling over the tiny Yoga 11S Ultrabook since CES, Lenovo just released a teaser that gives a sense of the convertible devices ability to morph into different shapes, depending on your needs.

The spot features dancers from THE SILHOUETTES dance company, dressed in all black against a white background, creating shapes like a tree, a car, street lamps with their bodies and with each other. You actually dont get to see an image of the Yoga 11S at all. In fact, the closest you get is seeing the Yoga in silhouette when the four dancers look like theyre sitting on a plane and are using the device in its four different modes (tablet, tent, laptop, and display mode).

Since the Yoga 11S is basically just a tinier version of the IdeaPad Yoga 13 and Windows RT-running Yoga 11 that were introduced last October, Lenovo probably feels it doesnt need to hit you over the head with what its line of IdeaPad Yoga Ultrabooks are all about. With an 11.6-inch touch display that comes in 1366 x 768 or 1600 x 900 pixel resolution, the Yoga 11S is one of the few mini-Ultrabooks that runs full Windows 8 (the 12-inchAsus VivoBook X202E being the other). The $800 base model uses the i3 chip, 4GB RAM, 128 GB SSD and 1366 x 768 screen.Youll also be able to customize the Yoga 11S third-generation Intel processor (choice of Core i3 to i7), as well as increase the RAM to 8GB and upgrade the solid-state drive to 256GB. The Yoga 11S is available in Clementine Orange, silver, and black.

As we reported earlier this month, you can already pre-order the Yoga 11S from Lenovo and Best Buy, but it wont be shipping for at least four weeks, according to Lenovos estimate. If you prefer to try the Ultrabook in person before buying, youll want to wait until June 23 to find a Yoga 11S at a Best Buy near you.
