Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet.

Hull City: Young Tigers face Northampton for place in last 16 of FA Youth Cup
Posted: January 30, 2013|
HULL City's under-18s will aim to eclipse the fortunes of the club's senior ranks tonight as they target a place in the last 16 of the FA Youth Cup at Northampton Town.
After twice seeing their fourth round tie at the Sixfields Stadium fall victim to the weather this month, Billy Russell's young Tigers will get the chance to build on their impressive third round win over Swansea.
A fifth round tie at home to Leicester awaits the victors and City will be desperate to avoid the FA Cup fate suffered by Steve Bruce's first team, who lost 1-0 against Barnsley at the weekend.
"It's going to be difficult but the lads are up for it," said academy boss Russell.

"They're not getting carried away by the result in the last round, they're focused on Northampton. Over the years the boys have preferred playing away from home sometimes.
"I can remember going to Leeds (2006-07) and Stoke (2009-10) and coming away with wins. There was also a game at Crystal Palace where we lost narrowly (2007-08) which was the best FA Youth Cup performance during my time here.
"They've got their parents, grandparents and school friends who all come along to a home game in the FA Youth Cup because it's a big deal and maybe that puts an extra weight on. There's maybe less pressure on them when they play away from home."
Standing between City and a place in the last 16 are a Northampton side Russell will not take lightly. The Cobblers have seen off both Chesterfield and York City, two opponents from the Tigers' Youth Alliance North East Conference, as well as beating Canvey Island in the third round.
An extra-time winner from Harry Cardwell booked City's trip to the Sixfields Stadium in a 3-2 win over Swansea City on December 19, but the poor weather has since meant the Tigers have only played once in six weeks.
Although City's interrupted schedule has been far from ideal, Russell knows his side will take great heart from defeating the Premier League Swans, the club's first win in the FA Youth Cup since 2010.
"It was beginning to annoy people that we kept getting knocked out by the odd goal so it felt like a monkey off our backs in some ways," added Russell.
"The most pleasing thing from the Swansea game is the boys stuck to the game-plan we'd all come up with.
"We were happy to let Swansea play in front of us and took our chances well.
"It was disappointing to let the lead slip but when we got to 90 minutes all square, we showed character to come through.
"A lot of the younger boys pulled us through and that was pleasing for us to see.
"Afterwards, we didn't feel we played as well with the ball as we can but that can improve."

|Vorinostat, Isotretinoin and Temozolomide in Adults With Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)
|Official Title ICMJE
|Phase I / II Adaptive Randomized Trial of Vorinostat, Isotretinoin and Temozolomide in Adults With Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme
|Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest safe dose of vorinostat (SAHA) when given with Accutane (isotretinoin) and temozolomide to patients with malignant gliomas. The safety and effectiveness of this drug combination will also be studied.
|Detailed Description
Temozolomide is designed to kill cancer cells by damaging DNA (the genetic material of cells). The damaged DNA may cause tumor cell death. Isotretinoin is designed to decrease the growth rate of gliomas and may decrease the blood supply to the tumor. Vorinostat is designed to change the levels of production of several proteins in the tumor cells and either kill or stop their growth. Researchers hope that it may improve the effects of isotretinoin and temozolomide on malignant gliomas.
There are 2 phases to this study. In Phase 1, researchers are trying to find the highest tolerable dose of the study drugs that can be given together in each of the 3 study groups. Up to the first 54 participants enrolled in this study will be enrolled in Phase 1. If you have an anaplastic glioma you are only allowed to participate in the Phase I part of this study. In Phase 2, researchers will be trying to find out which of the 3 groups is best for the treatment of gliomas.
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study and you are enrolled in Phase 1, you may be assigned to either Group 1 or Group 2. Group 1 will receive vorinostat and isotretinoin. Group 2 will receive temozolomide and isotretinoin. If you enter the study after the highest tolerable doses for Groups 1 and 2 are found, you will be assigned to Group 3 and will receive vorinostat, isotretinoin, and temozolomide. No matter which group you are assigned to, every 28 days will be called a study "cycle. During Days 21-28, you will not receive any study drugs. This is called the "rest" period.
The first 3 participants in each study group will receive the lowest dose levels of the study drugs. If there are no intolerable side effects seen at that dose level after 4 weeks (or, 1 study "cycle"), the next 3 participants enrolled to each study group will receive a higher dose of the study drugs. If there are no intolerable side effects at that second dose level, 3 more participants will be enrolled in each study group at the next (higher) dose level. In any study group, if 1 participant has intolerable side effects, another 3 participants will be enrolled at the same dose level. If a second participant at that dose level has intolerable side effects, another group of 3 participants will then be enrolled in that study group at the earlier (lower) dose level, to make sure that it is the highest safe dose combination that can be given.
Once the phase I portion of the study is completed, the Phase II portion will begin. If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study and are 1 of the first 30 participants in Phase II, you will be randomly assigned (as in the roll of dice) to 1 of the same 3 groups as participants in the Phase I portion of the study.
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study and you are not one of the first 30 participants assigned to Phase II, you will be assigned to a study group based on how well each group is performing. If each group is about as effective as the other groups, you may still have an equal chance of being assigned to each group. If 1 or 2 groups appear to be more effective, you will have a higher chance of being assigned to the more effective group(s).
If you are eligible to participate in the Phase II portion of the study but your doctor has recommended that you have surgery to remove a tumor that has come back, you would have the surgery before being assigned to a study group. This part of the study is done to learn the effects of vorinostat on tumor tissue and blood cells. Up to 10 participants will take part in this portion of the study.
If you participate in this part of the study, you will be given vorinostat by mouth once daily for 3 days in a row before your surgery. The last dose of the drug will be given the morning of surgery. After the surgery, a portion of the remaining tumor tissue will be used to measure the drug levels and the effects of vorinostat on the tumor. Blood (about 1 teaspoon) will be drawn before and after the first dose of vorinostat, and at the same time as the tissue removal during surgery. This blood will be used to study the drug levels and the effects of the drug in normal blood cells and to match these findings with that in the tumor.
After you have recovered from the effects of surgery (about 2 weeks), you will then be randomly assigned or assigned based on known effectiveness as all other members of the Phase II portion.
All participants, regardless of being assigned to Phase 1 or 2, will receive the same study drugs (based on the group they are assigned to) and the same procedures and testing.
If you are assigned to Group 1, you will take vorinostat by mouth once a day during Days 1-14. You will also take isotretinoin by mouth 2 times a day on Days 1-21.
If you are assigned to Group 2, you will take isotretinoin by mouth 2 times a day on Days 1-21. You will take temozolomide by mouth once a day on Days 1-7 and Days 15-21.
If you are assigned to Group 3, you will take vorinostat by mouth once a day during Days 1-7 and Days 15-21. You will also take isotretinoin by mouth 2 times a day on Days 1-21. You will also take temozolomide by mouth once a day on Days 1-7 and Days 15-21.
About every week during Cycle 1 and about every 2 weeks after that, blood (less than 1 tablespoon) will be drawn for routine tests. Blood (about 2 tablespoons) will also be drawn about every 2 weeks during Cycle 1 and then at the end of every cycle to check your liver and kidney function and to see how well you blood clots.
At the end of Cycle 1 and the at the end of every odd numbered cycle (Cycles 3, 5, 7 and so on), blood (about 1 teaspoon) will be drawn for lipid testing (a check of different types of fat in the blood, such as cholesterol).
Women who are able to have children must have a negative blood (about 1 teaspoon) pregnancy test before each new cycle. If at any point during the study your treatment is delayed, you will also have a pregnancy test before restarting therapy.
You will have a complete physical and neurological exam at the end of Cycle 1 and 2, then at the end of every other cycle (Cycles 4, 6, 8 and so on). These tests may be performed more often if your doctor thinks it is necessary. Your performance status will be recorded. You will have a complete medical history and physical exam, including measurement of your weight. You will have a neurological exam.
You will have an MRI scan at the end of every other cycle (Cycles 2, 4, 6, 8 and so on). These tests may be performed more often if your doctor thinks it is needed.
You will receive the treatment for up to 1 year, after which you will continue to be monitored on the study provided your disease does not get worse. You may continue to receive treatment beyond 1 year and remain on study if your doctor decides that it is in your best interest.
Once you are no longer receiving the study drugs, you will have an end-of-study visit. At this visit, you will have another complete physical exam. Blood (less than 2 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests, to check your liver and kidney function, to check your bloods ability to clot, and for lipid testing. You will have an MRI.
After you have your end-of-study visit, you will have a follow-up evaluation (a clinic visit or telephone call) about every 3 months to find out how you are feeling. These visits/calls will continue indefinitely. The phone calls will take about 15 minutes.
This is an investigational study. Isotretinoin, temozolomide, and vorinostat are FDA approved drugs and commercially available. The use of these drugs in this combination is investigational. Up to 189 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Syria's Kobani Less At Risk But Could Still Fall: U.S. Officials
The Syrian border town of Kobani appears in less danger of falling to the Islamic State, but the threat still remains, U.S. officials said on Thursday, offering a measured view of a key battle against the militant group. Officials at the U.S. military's Central Command warned the Islamic State could ultimately capture the town, even after coalition air strikes and air drops of weapons and medical supplies to help Syrian Kurdish fighters fend off the militants in street battles.

Changes a Russian man made to a credit card agreement are legit.
Dmitry Agarkov of Voronezh, Russia, scanned a credit card's agreement and amended it to his liking in 2008. This week, a Russian judge said the bank is legally bound to the altered contract.
Unimpressed by a credit card offer from Tinkoff Credit Systems, Agarkov's changes included a zero percent interest rate, no fees and no credit limit. He also stipulated that he would fine the bank 3 million rubles ($91,294) if the bank didn't comply with his terms and 6 million rubles ($182,589) if Tinkoff closed the account. Agarkov submitted the altered contract. Tinkoff certified the document and sent him a card that Agarkov used for four years without incident.
This year, Tinkoff tried to close the card because of late payments. Last year, the bank sued Argakov for 45,000 rubles ($1,363) for fees and charges that were not part of Argakov's amended credit card agreement. However, a judge ruled in Argakov's favor and only ordered him to pay his outstanding balance of 19,000 rubles ($575).
After his success, Argakov is now suing Tinkoff for 24 million rubles ($727,000) for violating the amended credit card agreement. Tinkoff is hitting back, accusing the Russian man of fraud.
The court will hear Argakov's case next month.

Bloomberg reports that shares in Regal rose the most in three years following yesterday's announcement that the company's Board of Directors "has authorized the exploration of strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value, which may include a potential sale of the Company."
Here's the official news release from Regal:
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE: RGC), a leading motion picture exhibitor owning and operating the largest theatre circuit in the United States, today reported fiscal third quarter 2014 results.
Total revenues for the third quarter ended September 25, 2014 were $693.8 million compared to total revenues of $813.1 million for the third quarter ended September 26, 2013. Net income attributable to controlling interest in the third quarter of 2014, was $26.7 million compared to $75.1 million in the third quarter of 2013. Diluted earnings per share was $0.17 for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $0.48 for the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) was $0.18 for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $0.38 for the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA(3) was $122.1 million for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $177.3 million for the third quarter of 2013. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial schedules accompanying this press release.
Regal's Board of Directors today declared both a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 and a special cash dividend of $1.00 per Class A and Class B common share, each payable on December 15, 2014, to stockholders of record on December 4, 2014. The Company intends to pay a regular quarterly dividend for the foreseeable future at the discretion of the Board of Directors depending on available cash, anticipated cash needs, overall financial condition, loan agreement restrictions, future prospects for earnings and cash flows as well as other relevant factors.
The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the exploration of strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value, which may include a potential sale of the Company. While the Board of Directors has great confidence in the Company's management team and its strategic plan, the combination of Regal's continued strong performance and attractive industry dynamics has led the Board to conclude that this is an opportune time to conduct a thorough review of options.
"Commitment to delivering shareholder value has been the cornerstone of our strategy for many years and we believe today's announcement along with the declaration of our sixth special dividend clearly demonstrate that commitment," stated Amy Miles, CEO of Regal Entertainment Group. "Looking ahead, we are optimistic regarding the potential for box office success during the upcoming holiday season and throughout 2015," Miles continued.
The Board of Directors has retained Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Inc. as its financial advisor to assist in the review process. The Company has not set a definitive timetable for completing its exploration of strategic alternatives and there can be no assurance that the process will result in any specific outcome. The Company does not intend to disclose further developments during this process, unless and until its Board of Directors approves a specific course of action or otherwise concludes the review.

I love to laugh and have a good time with family and friends, but I can be shy at first meeting. I like to take road trips and scenic drives. I like to experience new places and things. I really enjoy cooking, both old favorites and trying out new foods. I love Mexican food. I like to be outdoors and enjoy activities such as camping. But, I also am content to relax at home and watch a movie or play games.
I really love to read and have even finished seven books in one week. I care about nutrition and buy local eggs and milk. Cooking as much as I do, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, but I hate emptying the dishwasher. I'm a contradiction, I have stainless steel drinking straws, hang my laundry on a clothesline, but use paper plates to cut down on dishes. I prefer home remedies to doctor visits. I believe just about anything can be fun when you have the right attitude. I try to always make people feel comfortable and at ease around me and try give others the benefit of the doubt and accept others for who they are. I try to recognize blessings in times of adversity.
I own my own daycare/preschool. I am very passionate about teaching young children, and really enjoy experiencing the world through their eyes each day. I am going to homeschool my son this fall. I enjoyed the Hunger Games books and movies, but couldn't get into the Divergent series. I am looking forward to exploring the sights of Kansas more this summer.

I keep hearing from parents whose kids are dealing with anxiety as a new school year begins. Here's what I tell them.
Here's my response to all the parents out there who worry that they're not doing all the "right things" with their kids.
Most parents are mindful about their words. But our nonverbals also speak volumes to our kids.
In fact, we're communicating all the time, often without even thinking about it. Consider the last time you were with your kids at a piano recital, or a religious service. You know, one where they really had to stay quiet. When the squirming began, you might have been able to give a look or a touch that said, "This event is very important to me, and I need you to sit still, but I love having you here with me. It won't be too much longer."
Or, you might have pulled out a completely different look, one that was offered with eyebrows raised as high as possible, and kind of means the opposite of "I love having you here with me."
Your child's whole day can turn on something you're not even cognizant of, something that's not even said. Something as simple as your smile—or your touch—can soothe a disappointment and strengthen your bond. Or your nonverbals can do just the opposite.
I'm not saying there won't be times when you'll get completely exasperated with your kids. Or that they won't misread something you're communicating and get upset. Mistakes will be made on both sides of the relationship, of course. But we can still be intentional about the messages that we're sending.
Here are four things you do not want—and four more that you do want—to be saying to your kids, even when you don't utter a word.
Nonverbal Messages You DON'T Want to Send:
A deep, huffy sigh = exasperation.
The message: You wear me out. I can't stand you right now, and I blame you for making things so hard on me.
A clenched jaw or gritted teeth = fury.
The message: I am furious with you and could explode at any moment. I'm unpredictable right now. Be afraid, very afraid. I'm not really in control of myself, and this is how people act when they are really mad.
Frantic rushing around = stress.
The message: Don't talk to me right now—and if you do, make it quick. I'm fragile at this moment, so if you stress me out any further, I might lose it. You better walk on eggshells and not make my life any harder.
Aggressive body posture = anger.
The message: You better do what I say—and now! I don't care how you feel or what the circumstances are. I'm going to fight until I win, and I'll continue to escalate and become more aggressive until I do. Power, control, and aggression are how I get what I want here.
Nonverbal Messages You Do Want to Send:
A big ol' squinty-eyed smile = delight.
The message: I think you are fantastic, and you fill me with joy. You bring fullness and wonder into my world and I love being with you.
An authentic belly laugh = appreciation.
The message: You are funny and clever, and I enjoy you. I want to join with you in how you see things. You have my attention and I'm having fun with you.
A locked-in, responsive look = empathy/compassion.
The message: What you're sharing with me right now is crucial—more important than anything going on around us, more important even than anything I could be saying right now. I hear that you're really upset, and all I want to do at this moment is listen to you and be present—so I can comfort you the best I can.
A loving touch = support/camaraderie.
The message: I know you face a big day at school with challenges I'm not always aware of, but this little shoulder massage while you eat your Lucky Charms says that I'll be thinking of you, missing you, and eager to see you again this afternoon. And this Family-Movie-Night foot rub while we watch Monsters Inc.—for the sixth time—says that although I won't always I have just the right words to say, I will always be here for you.
This article originally appeared on mom.me.
[The following interview appeared in the December, 2013 edition of the official magazine of the American Camp Association. You can read the original interview here.]
Tina Payne Bryson, PhD will be delivering the opening keynote address at the 2014 ACA National Conference in Orlando. Bryson is the co-author (with Dan Siegel) of the bestselling The Whole-Brain Child, which is now in seventeen languages. She's a pediatric and adolescent psychotherapist who speaks to parents, educators, clinicians, and camp leadership all over the world. She is a school counselor and the child development director for Lantern Camps. Tina earned her PhD from the University of Southern California, where her research explored attachment science, childrearing theory, and the emerging field of interpersonal neurobiology. ACA sat down with her and asked her a few questions.
You're known as someone who teaches parents and educators about the brain. Is that what you'll talk about at the ACA conference?
It's true that I spend most of my professional time talking to people about the brain. But it's also true that I'm a mom of three boys, and I've become a huge proponent of the camp experience over the last few years as my boys have attended Camp Chippewa in Minnesota, and as I've visited with camp directors and counselors and learned more about the important and meaningful work they're doing.
Put these two roles together — the brain lady and the mom who's passionate about camp — and you get someone who can go on and on explaining to parents, mental health professionals, and anyone who will listen just why camp is so beneficial for the developing brains of kids. I'm quite excited about the tremendous consilience between what camps are doing, can be doing, and what we know about optimal brain development.
Tell us about the influence camp has on kids' developing brains?
When I visit a camp and consult with the leadership team there, I usually have two main messages. Number one: Whether you know it or not, you're significantly impacting the brains of the young people you work with every summer. In fact, it turns out that the things that build the brain and are best for kids' development are also the very things that are important for running a successful camp with high camper and counselor retention and successful recruitment.
And number two: if you know just a few basic facts about the brain, you can be even better at everything I just mentioned. Knowing just a little about the science of how the brain changes in response to experiences, particularly relational experiences, can help camps be even more successful — in all kinds of ways.
Your first point is that camp builds the brain?
Right. Bunks are good for brains. All the things that camps and parents say that camp does for kids — promoting independence, confidence, friendship-building, resilience, thriving, character, grit, etc. — these are undoubtedly real outcomes for kids who have quality camp experiences. But why do these outcomes occur? How do these changes happen in short periods of time, and then over years as well? How do we explain this?
The brain. I could go on and on about cutting-edge brain science and how it relates to the camp experience. For the sake of time, I'll briefly introduce you to one part of the brain that's responsible for these skills and character qualities, and show you how it relates to the good, meaningful work that goes on at camp.
I want to introduce you to the middle prefrontal cortex. It's right behind the forehead and eye sockets and is the front most part of the frontal lobe. It gives us the ability to do all kinds of important things: regulate our body and emotions, have insight into ourselves and others, feel empathy, communicate in an attuned way, bounce back after failure, adapt to new situations, make thoughtful choices, and overcome fear. That's pretty much what's needed for a successful life with good emotional and mental health, meaningful relationships, and the conscientiousness to make things happen in the world.
And camp can help develop that part of the brain?
Whether camps have thought about it in those terms or not, yes. And that's the exciting part for the camp world: We don't just influence kids' minds and help them feel more confident. We actually change the structure of their brains.
Experience changes the brain. And yes, I mean the actual activation and wiring of the brain. Particularly when experiences are emotional, novel, and challenging, the repeated experiences kids have alter the actual architecture of the brain. It's like a muscle. When it's used, it grows and strengthens. So, when kids have camp experiences that require them to overcome fear, be flexible, handle their emotions (especially away from their parents), be persistent to master something, build relationships, and so on, it builds this important part of the brain. And by the way, this can happen in even more significant ways when counselors are trained to handle emotional reactivity in campers in ways that reduce reactivity and promote resilience.
But the main thing to know is that when the structure of the brain changes, the function of the brain changes. This means that camps can play a role in how these kids function in the world, and ultimately who they become as adults, even on a neuronal level.
It's so great that camps that are intentional about all facets of the camper experience and how they train their counselors already inherently provide the kinds of experiences that activate and build this "character" part of the brain. That's why we can see significant changes in kids who have camp as part of their lives.
So you're saying that camp aids in this development because of the challenges children face when they're away from home?
Yes, that's part of it, but it's about much more than just the challenges, because kids have lots of challenges in their everyday lives as well. One thing that's unique about camp experiences is that camp is usually fun, so kids are willing to work harder and tolerate more frustration and setbacks because they're having a good time doing it, and they're doing it in the context of relationship. They see their peers pushing through as well, and when staff is well-trained, kids have mentors or counselors who are empathic about the struggle, but still encouraging them to endure — pushing them to continue to learn and try. Then they face the frustrations and persist through the challenges. This is one way "grit" gets built in the brain.
So that's your first message to camp directors you work with. That camp helps build the brain. What's the second point?
The second is that knowing some of these basic facts about the brain can help directors and counselors be even more successful–both at helping develop great kids with the time they have them at camp, and at running a successful camp with high retention rates and happy campers and parents.
What can camps and camp directors do better?
First of all, even when camps are already doing some really fantastic things in terms of social and emotional and character development, they often aren't as savvy as they could be about communicating in their recruitment materials how their program and decisions are contributing to that development.
It's about thoughtfully and strategically communicating to parents all the great stuff camp is doing for kids. Learning and using the language that child development experts know can make a big difference. With so much vying for children's time, most parents want much more than just fun or better tennis skills for their kids. They want to feel confident that their child's time is spent in ways that lead to their child thriving and being successful.
Can you give us an example of how camp does this?
There are dozens of ways that camp traditions and activities make kids better people and help them develop specific skills, like sustained attention (archery and riflery), overcoming fear (in safe but challenging activities), and serving others (helping with kitchen duties). If a camp can speak the language to make those connections, they'll attract more parental interest.
Speaking this language also allows camp directors and leaders to clearly communicate to their staff each summer that there are more things going on than just the activity itself.
You're talking about staff training.
Yes. We want staff to keep in mind that in addition to the skills of sailing, counselors are also teaching kids about frustration management, flexibility, responsibility, etc. I love training the staff at Camp Chippewa each summer, and one of my main messages to the young counselors is always, "You're doing more than just hanging out and keeping kids physically safe — you're the relational safety net as well."
This is the science of interpersonal neurobiology. When kids feel connected and protected, when their needs are predictably and sensitively responded to, it actually builds the middle prefrontal cortex that I talked about earlier. There's a hierarchy that staff should understand. When kids feel safe (physically, socially, emotionally), their social engagement system and receptivity circuitry can turn on. As a result, they're more willing to build friendships that make them want to come back. These friendships and counselor connections are a buffer against stress and homesickness and struggles. And they build character skills. In the attachment literature, this is referred to as "a secure base," and when kids feel secure, they are capable of moving toward independence and they are better able to make friends.
So camps must create a culture and community of safety and connection. When they provide this kind of relational connection, they become the kinds of places kids want to return to summer after summer, and that parents want to keep sending their kids to.
So relational safety nets help retention rates?
Right. And there are all kinds of ways to foster this kind of relational environment through programmatic decisions. This is a lot of what Michael Thompson, the co-founder of Lantern Camps, and I are doing through Lantern Camps, where we visit camps and evaluate their programs, helping them not only provide better training for staff, and more intentional experiences for kids, but also communicate these important ideas to their staff and to parents in their recruitment materials.
Aren't camps already doing a lot of this?
Yes. The good ones are. Like I said, I am already a believer that camp can be a magical, transformative place for a child. In fact, I expect that down the road, when I think about the top experiences that made the biggest difference in who my boys turn out to be, going to Camp Chippewa will be on that list.
What I'm saying, though, is that many camps — and often, even good camps — can do even better at being intentional about what they want to accomplish. We're talking about honoring tradition and what's working great, while also evolving, refining, and being more intentional.
Sometimes, a camp's automatic and unexamined ways of doing things aren't the most effective strategies — for dealing with homesickness, or difficult personalities, or emotional meltdowns, or whatever — and they're not optimal in terms of what the science tells us about child development. Many camps are still doing a lot of what doesn't work very well, which leaves kids feeling disconnected. As a result, they have a negative experience and don't want to come back. I try to teach staff the same things I tell parents in my office, and teachers at the schools I visit. I try to help them learn how to decrease emotional reactivity and get kids quickly back to a place of feeling adaptive, stable, connected, and receptive to having fun.
I'll say again –camps impact kids — and their brains — in hugely positive ways. Bunks are good for brains. After all, it's experience that changes the brain. So when kids have experiences that challenge them emotionally, when they're given opportunities to make friends that are outside their typical circles, when they have to keep working at a skill to achieve mastery — these are the kinds of experiences that change the connections in the brain regarding kids' capacity for persistence, how they see themselves, and how healthy they can be, both emotionally and relationally.
I really don't know what to say. I'm heartbroken and speechless.
Facts are still coming in, and I'm just beginning to process everything myself. What we've learned is that close to thirty people, including many children, were killed by a gunman this morning at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
I really don't know what to say.
None of us do.
But if we're parents, we've got to decide how to address a horrific event like this with our own kids. We have to find the words.
The events just took place a few hours ago, so I reserve the right to change my opinion. But here are my thoughts on a first hearing, based on some questions I've already been asked.
Should I talk to my kids about what happened?
Usually, I'm in favor of arming children with as much information as possible. But in this case, if you have young, even school-age, children, I'd be very careful about how much you tell them about what happened in Newtown. It can be overwhelmingly frightening to a child (or even an adult) to hear that a person has carried a gun into a kindergarten classroom and begun killing kids and their teachers. If your children haven't heard about the shooting, I advise you not to open the door to that world. It's terrifying.
What if my kids have already heard?
If your children hear about the shooting from friends or the news or some other source, then it becomes paramount that you talk with them about what they've heard. In this conversation, aim for four main goals:
Begin by asking a few questions. Find out what your child knows and how they are feeling. A good question to ask is, "How did you feel when you first heard the news?" or, "What was your first thought?" Listening is crucial here, because it will allow you to assess where your child is, emotionally, at this moment, and also because it will give you information that should guide the rest of the conversation.
Let your child lead the conversation.
Don't give your child more information then they need or already have. They don't need pictures drawn for them. Answer their questions, and show them the respect of taking their inquiries seriously. But address their concerns and curiosity without delivering extraneous information that will create more confusion and anxiety.
Help your child feel safe.
This is your highest priority right now. Information is important, but contextualize everything so that your child feels safe. Explain how rare the situation is, and that they have no reason to expect that it would happen at their school. Promise that you're always watching over and protecting them. Let them know they can absolutely count on you and that you will always try to keep them safe.
Be willing to return to the subject, but only if your child needs to.
Later today, or tomorrow, or next week, your child may need to talk more about what happened. If so, talk more. But if your child has moved on and isn't showing any signs of worrying any more about it, then let them move on. Don't create anxiety by bringing it up again and again.
What do I do if I feel terrified myself?
I know that these types of terrible (but extremely rare) occurrences make us want to pull our children closer, and protect them more. And yes, you should hold your child close tonight and be grateful. I know I will. But don't allow your fears and anxieties to rage so much that your child misses out on freedoms and opportunities that produce mastery and competence. And remember, too, that kids are very perceptive. Be careful not to communicate so much of your own fear that you make your own anxiety theirs.
I feel a deep, deep sadness for the people of Newtown. Tragedies occur, and far too often, we're left without any answers. I wish I had more answers right now, both for myself and to offer you. All I know to say as we watch from afar, is that we should let this remind us of our responsibilities to our own children: to listen to them, to protect them, to cherish them, and to communicate to them—as fully as possible—how much we love them.

I've recently written two articles for mom.me about communicating with tweens. Here's the one about talking with your pre-teen daughter.
She's not a teenager yet. But she's sure not a child anymore, at least in the way she used to be. Just last week her school notebook contained pictures of cute puppies. Now she actually talks about cute boys.
One foot in childhood, one in adolescence. Sometimes sweet and playful, sometimes moody and sensitive. She's a tween.
How do you talk to her? Here are some suggestions.

I have a twelve-year-old son. Sometimes it's easy to talk with him, but sometimes, it's just not. Here's an article I wrote about communicating with pre-teens.
Attitude. Moodiness. An emerging desire for autonomy. A growing connection to friends that appears to coincide with a decreasing connection to parents. Any of that sound familiar? If you have a son who's a tween—a 9- to 12-year-old—then chances are at least some of that rings a bell. And most likely, one of the challenges you're facing at the moment is how to talk to your no-longer-a-child but not-yet-a-teenager son. Here are some suggestions.

Here's a new post on Mom.me. It begins like this:
Grateful? Really?
I know what you're thinking: "File this one under 'You can't be serious.'"
But I am serious.
Nobody likes a tantrum: not your little one, and certainly not you. But even though we don't enjoy our kids' tantrums, there are plenty of reasons to be grateful for the times when they get the most upset.
For example . . .

As you can see here, I recently made a brief appearance on "Good Morning America." I was asked to share my opinions on whether or not to use a "leash" on a small child. Only a minute fraction of what I said ended up in the actual segment, so I wrote up my thoughts in an fuller article. You can read the whole article at Mom.me (where it's already generating a great deal of discussion). Here's an excerpt from the piece:
You see it at the mall, at the airport, at Disneyland. A small child wears a monkey backpack, and the monkey's tail is a tether held by the child's parent. A leash.
Lots of people react pretty strongly against leashes for children. I even hear the practice described as "inhumane." When I asked a friend about it, his tongue-in-cheek response was, "That's how you get them to sit and stay."
In my opinion, a leash is like so many other parenting tools and techniques. It's not inherently good or bad. What matters is how it's used: how it's presented to the child, how and when the parent uses it, what the child's temperament is, and why the parent is using it.
For example, I can see why a mother of young triplets might use a leash when she takes them to a crowded store. Or why the dad of an impulsive 2-year-old who has a history of bolting might feel the need to use it in airport security because he's also attending to a 4-year-old. In fact, I'm not sure that a leash in these cases is all that different from buckling kids into a stroller to keep them contained. And, further, it might be a better alternative to what I've seen in parking lots, where I sometimes see a parent yanking a child's wrist in rough ways.
In other words, I understand that in certain situations, a parent may have tried everything and eventually decided that a leash is the best way to protect her child until the child has a little more capacity for thinking and controlling impulses. Some parents are truly afraid for their child's safety, and that fear is legitimately based on the child's past behavior. I've talked to many caring parents who decided to use some form of a leash when it became a basic safety issue for their overly impulsive child who was, say, 18- to 36-months-old. And some parents feel that this provides them with a basic security that allows them to be more engaged and playful with their child.
However, all that being said, I do have three main concerns about using a restraining device like a leash.
Click here to read the rest of the article.
I have a new article up at Mom.me where I talk about what to do when you have trouble letting go after you've had conflict with your child. It starts like this:
It was a typical morning before school, and we were on schedule. Until things began unraveling when I told my 8-year-old son he was pouring too much salt on his eggs. (We're not talking a sprinkle or a light dusting. He could've cured a ham.)
For whatever reason, my criticism pushed an ugly button with my son, and he stormed out of the room. For the rest of our time before school, he unleashed an increasingly mean-spirited verbal assault that eventually escalated to his saying, "Mom, you are so mean. If I should evencall you a mom."
Looking back now, I can see the humor in this line. But after the barrage of attacks, I had a hard time letting go of my anger toward my son. When I picked him up from school that afternoon, he was happy and had forgotten about the whole thing. Clearly, he hadn't been ruminating on our conflict all day. He said, in a cheerful voice, "Can we go get some ice cream?" But I didn't feel like taking him to get an ice cream. I was still hurt and mad.
Can you identify? Your child rages, maybe throws some verbal missiles your way, deliberately trying to hurt your feelings. Then he calms down. Moves on. All seems well from his point of view. But what if you're not ready to turn the page?
When you fight with your sister or your spouse, you often end the conflict with apologies, new insight and deeper understanding, and then feel ready to move on. But most kids don't consistently do this without prompting, so we're frequently left to do some internal repair work on our own.
How can we move on? How can we let it go?
Here are five tips to help you turn the page.

Review: Renault Zoe electric car
Carlos Ghosn must be pulling your legs in the UK
My local supermarket in Brittany has one of these, as part of it's "cars you can rent by the day" etc fleet..
cost per day " all in including insurance and charging" ( Ie it has a full charge when you take it out ) ..and when you bring it back,you don't pay to top it up..( like you would if you'd rented a car with a full tank of diesel/petrol etc )..Rental Cost for 24 hours 25 euros ..about £20.00 ? ( cheaper rates if you rent for longer ) ..
They don't park it out front of their supermarket "attached and charging"..and almost no-one here has a domestic charging point unless they already own an EV car..So it is a thing that one can rent for a day ( having read the article here, I'm going to rent one for a day just to "play" )..I did ask the supermarket owner about the £70.00 per month battery leasing , and how he could be making money with those overheads, if he wasn't renting it every day..his reply.."WTF" ( in French ) .."What !! course I'm not paying that much per month just for 'kin battery leasing..Carlos is really sticking it to the rosbifs"..
I run a clio 1.9 diesel..( I get 75mpg ) so..even at half what you would pay in the UK for the leasing..and my leccy ( domestic ) costs 6p per kwh..I'd still be better off with the clio..

USA is the best country in the WORLD... for sending spam
re..Looking at the figures
The problem in France is twofold..
1) It is not illegal for businesses here to send other businesses unsolicited email..
2) Most domestic users know just enough English to click on "to see my sexy pictures, click here, love Katrina"..
From the compromised machines I see belonging to friends and neighbors, and the French B2B spam that hits my business email addresses ..I'm surprised the figure isn't higher, although the USA being highest, doesn't surprise me at all..'scuse me while I check my credit rating, and order that new electric wheelchair ( apparently the US government will help me towards it's cost )..if one was to follow the money ( that is to say whose products/services are being pushed by the spam ) the trail for almost all spam received worldwide leads back to USA corps..

Creepy Ads
image ad or text ad ?
The text ads here are indeed always relevant to the on page text..
If you are outside the UK ( I don't know what the US visitors get served by way of image ads ..nor the UK ones ? )..the image ads are anything but relevant..and the advertiser "pool" and their ads appear to be limited in my case to Groupon, (various things made in 3D software, such as watches that look like "Rolex" "ray traced", "burgers" that "look like food" ray "traced", interiors of hotel rooms "ray traced", an illlustration of a scary old woman pushing an online fortune telling service , and a totally text-less and explanation-less photo of a piece of floor underneath a boiler in a factory somewhere ) <= I clicked on the last one once and discovered it was for a French company who makes resins for industrial floor treatments..and who sells them B2B..
None of those ads had anything to do with what was on the site , nor with anything I had been looking at previously elsewhere..and any text was in French..pure Geo-targeting based , non contextual ads..
All these ads appear to be CPM ( the advertiser pays per 1000 displayed ) and none of them appear to be CPC ( where they pay if clicked upon ) CPM ( particularly of the Groupon "ficticious example of a possible coming offer" ) are worth so little to the site that they are just WTF ads, that make the place look tacky..
Google say they always show the highest paying ads..Google say a lot of things ..many have been proven to be totally untrue or worded in such a way as to make 99.99% of people think they mean one thing, when in fact they mean the exact opposite..
When an adsense publisher "opts out" they are not opting out of showing ads based upon what the visitor was doing or seeing prior to arriving on their site but they are "opting out" of the visitor being shown ads on subsequent sites that they visit being influenced by what they saw or did on your site..
Drew..adsense settings dont actually mean what you think they do
<<We do run Google ads in many territories and Google does work with remarketing companies. But we have set our Google settings to:
-Block ads targeting consumers using cookies based on remarketing lists
-Block collection of data for subsequent use in targeting or remarketing
-Block ads targeting consumers using cookies based on interest-based categories
To recap, we are not remarketing and we don't allow remarketing on our site, so it is a mystery as to what is happening here.>>
Merely means that you have "opted" that ..what someone reads or sees whilst on the register, will not affect any ads that Google may serve them on sites which they subsequently visit..Publishers have no choice as to whether their sites serve interest based ads to visitors..Google chose to word the "opt in or out of "interest based ads" on your site" in the adsense" publisher control panel, in a particularly misleading way..
I challenged them , via their adsense advisor "rep" ( in another pro webmaster forum when they first made the "opt in " or "opt out" of showing "interest based ads" available ) , to be precise with what they actually were doing, after some confusion from their "rep"..they checked back with Google's legal dept, it was confirmed.."webmasters cannot opt out of showing interest based ads on their websites, if they show adsense ads"..
btw..at the moment their targeting on the register of ads to me is "dire"..80% are for groupon " example of coming offer" ads..except they are in French..and I've not visited Groupon ..ever..Your non UK visitors are ( IME ) getting served totally irrelevant image ads, based entirely on geo-targeting..I have a large collection of screenshots of totally irrelevant image ads I've been served here over the last 15 days..only on the rare occasions that Google serve text ads to me here, are the ads at all related to the article contents..
Yes I see the ads..IMO to run an ad blocker on an ad supported site would be churlish of me, and deprive the webmaster of any potential revenue that they might get if I actually was served an ad that was attractive or relevant..

Solving traffic jams with maths
Priorite a droite
"Is legally the default rule on every road in France, unless there is a sign indicating otherwise."
Many French and almost all Parisians, ignore the signs which indicate otherwise..especially on the entrances to roundabouts.. and in true French tradition treat you to the "bras d'honneur" ( little old lady drivers use this one too ) if you who are already on the roundabout and have the right of way have the temerity to sound your horn or flash your lights at them when they cut you up as they pull across you from the entrance road..
They also are incapable of driving in their own lane whether on or off a roundabout, they straddle the white lines in the middle and then move back to their own side ( grudgingly ) if something is coming the other way..We even have a TV ad for an insurance company ACM which shows an animation of a road viewed through the car windscreen , with the white lines in the middle of the windscreen coming towards the car..impossible unless the car is straddling the lines..But as nearly all French ( including police and Gendarmes ) drive like this, right down the middle of the road ..they think that this is how "normal" driving looks!
France only counts road deaths as such ,if the death of the person occurs within 3 days of a road accident..if they die on the fourth or subsequent day after being involved in a road traffic accident ( as a pedestrian , cyclist , driver , whatever ) their death is not included in road traffic accident statistics..Even so the death rate due to RTA is about the 3rd highest In Europe, and they're leaving out most of those who are counted in other countries..
In over 20 years here I've never seen anyone stopped for using a phone whilst driving, but the police or Gendarmes do wait on roundabouts to see who is not wearing a seat belt..or just to check ID papers..

Boffins embiggen data storage space with 'phase-shifting' material
Please stop using "embiggen" and "bigup", and all such "chav speak" inspired non words, the illiterati have enough problems with basic grammar as it is, the insistence of some of your journalists in using expressions ( lifted from teenager's "facepalm" accounts ) in their titles and articles, really grates, adds nothing, and risks encouraging those readers whose mother tongue is not English, to do likewise in the mistaken assumption that their use is correct..
If your excuse is that their use is meant as some sort of ironic joke..? it is not funny at all..

.eu is a Euro domain, for Euro people - top legal bod
Considering that the world and it's dog are able to get .co.uk domains, ( and very many scammy, rip off people do from vary many countries ) without any oversight whatsoever..Those pontificating about how the .eu or any other register is being "difficult" should first ensure that Mr Pot isn't name calling in the direction of Mr Kettle..
Those who can't get a dot com, dot net or dot org because the domain name they want is already taken go for dot co dot uk..and can get it with no problem at all even if they register from Shanghai or Argentina...co.uk is the scammers dream..sure it publishes your name and address, but more than half of them are not in the UK , nor are they UK companies..
I have multiple UK limited companies, and only ever register the .co.uk versions to prevent cyber squatting, ( I never use them, the .co.uk may have some reputable domains on it, but is also a refuge of thieves and scoundrels, "passing off"..and I'd rather not be associated with it ) it is as wide open to abuse as .com ..and as most of the public both within and outside the UK think there is a some sort of "policing" of it , or some requirement to be UK based and thus "traceable" if they have a problem, the potential for abuse is greater than that of .com..
It should be restricted to only UK citizens or businesses..until it is , it is at best a joke, and at worst a "Union Jack" painted rock for non UK based scammers to hide under..
I own ( strictly speaking one leases them ) at present just under 200 domain names ( used to own very many more ), less than 10 of them are .co.uk..

Weeing Frenchman sues Google over Street View photo
@Doug Glass
If that was for me ? ..I'm Irish not French..but live in France..
Left te UK ( where I had lived for near 30 years ) in 1987 ( after Thatcher and Major had ruined the Uk it looked to be wanting to go down the same path for the next 20..Maybe John Smith could have made it somewhere worth staying..but then he "cough" died "cough"..so I was time to get out :-)..
traveled around a few years wound up here..
It has it's faults..
But at least it didn't have Blair...and it is waaay less chavvy than the UK...nor is it the de facto aircraft carrier for the US..and it doesn't bend over and hand the lube to Google, Facebook and other US mega corps..
It reminds me of Britain or Ireland in the late 60's..apart from the large cities ..and large cities are crap in every country ..I know..I've lived in many before arriving here..
Street view camera height is way above normal ( 2 metre hedge ) height
Google street view cars have their camera mounted on a tripod/ pole contraption which places the camera at 2.7 metres above road level..or about 8 feet and nine inches above road level for the merkins and the metrically challenged Brits..
Here in France you need planing permission to build your garden wall ( on modern houses ) higher than 2.00 metres ( about 6 feet 6 inches ) ..this is to stop you building bloody great walls and blocking out the light from your neighbors garden or house windows..and you get flak from the local council if you let your hedge etc obscure their light too ..so most garden walls ( on modern homes at least ) stop at around the 2.00m or 6 feet 6 inch mark..
This guy was photographed by the street view car..over the top of an 8 foot, dense hedge ( the man, the house, the garden , the hegde, the lawyer etc, were all on French TV here this evening ) running along side the road that runs by his garden.. the street view camera is not at a height that any pedestrian could see things at..it is incredibly intrusive, and in France it is illegal to photograph someone who is not in a public place without their permission ..blurring them after the fact does not give Google or anyone else the ability to flout the law here..
He was in his own back garden behind his own bloody high dense hedge..he can do what he wants..
Google have also been in trouble for photographing over the tops of cafe style curtains ( the kind that only cover the lower 3/4 of windows, but that stop people less than 2m tall seeing in ) into peoples houses..and even for photographing into their bedrooms on old houses with low first floors..In Japan they had to lower the cameras to the eye level of an average person or as close as they could get to Japanese average ..had to be under 6 feet IIRC..
France takes privacy very seriously..a fact which some of you should be grateful for as the CNIL here seem to be the only ones with the balls to tackle Google and Facebook et al over online tracking, privacy etc..
New forum Wishlist
new long posts and layout..idea good..implementation total fail..
As a firefox user said further up "it breaks"..the "new" longer comments and page layout etc also breaks entirely in Opera ( 11.6 on mint )..long comments are "expanded" by default with no way to close them, ( can see what I presume is the "expand" button text ..but no button ) so the "expand" is on by default.
Thus they run on down the page over the comments below them..any page with a long comment or or long comments, becomes totally illegible until the long comment(s) is / are finished..on this page, starshapedscar's post goes all the way down the page, munging in with everything until it stops halfway into the post by Sean Timarco Baggaley..except it slides behind the all buttons ..
I suspect if I looked at the source code ( Html and the CSS ) I'd be ill..
Amazed an IT tech site's web devs ( or was it done by the kid on work experience ? ) didn't test this in all browsers..major fail..
In case it isn't clear ..the same abominable "long comments overlay" thing happens in the "comments" attached to each of the articles on the main site..not just here in the forum..
It doesn't happen ( at least as at the time I type this ) in "hardware" ..
Suggest you get the person who codes the pages over there, to come over here to the the main elreg site and fix it for you ..

And another cookie please ,that will also allow us the option of setting the new , hyper-saturated red to go back to something less retina obliterating ..?
In otherwords give us the option ..via cookies ..to put el reg back like it was ..before you lose at least one reader ..and probably anyone else who doesn't want zombie phones and dayglo red webpages on a tech site.

"It works out of the box, with full multimedia support and is extremely easy to use."
Personally, I think that's the way it should be. Just my opinion...</quote>
And mine ;-) and that of a great many others..
Mint is unbuntu linux as it should've been been done ,better, nicer looking , easier install easier to use, so easy that it is the only linux I install for peoples grannies and grandpas who have never touched a computer before, and they rarely have more than 1 or 2 questions later except the "what was my password one"..
I've put Mint as a dual boot on a lot of windows boxen for kids,teens and adults too ..most prefer it to their windows install within 2 weeks ..its great if your business isn't call out based, ( because they only ever call you back to say thanks for turning a nightmare into a pleasure) but you are just installing for free to help people out on windows machines that have been trashed by the latest contaminated email from the grandchildren or "jokes" sent around the office workers and then passed on to extended family etc.

Questions? (888) 864-7663
A Late Blooming Lilac with Fall Color
The Miss Canada Lilac is an extremely hardy late blooming Lilac. It's also one our best selling pink Lilacs.
Miss Canadas graceful arched branches make it lovely as a hedge or foundation plant. It is also easily shaped into an elegant small tree, a beautiful statement next to a patio.
The much loved heart shaped leaves are a dark green, and will transform to a brilliant buttery yellow in the fall.
In late spring your Miss Canada will be smothered in upright clusters of lightly fragrant rosy pink flowers. The clear pink blooms rising above the deep green foliage makes a stunning display.
The Miss Canada Lilac performs best in full sun and adapts well to warmer climates.
It is very attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds, it's ultra hardy and easy to grow, and it's deer resistant.
The Miss Canada Lilacs beauty and scent would be a great addition to any yard. We recommend planting it near a window to enjoy this wonderful Lilacs perfume both indoors and outdoors.

(Photo by Victor Fraile/Getty Images)
I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the World's Strongest Man Competition. What I will say that I know 975 pounds is very, very heavy. American Brian Shaw deadlifted 975 pounds (442.5 kilos) during the competition and ultimately won the 2013 title. Deadlifting requires you to life a weight on a bar basically up to around your waist, not over your head.
An Australian news outlet said this might be a world record:
Some say this epic feat of strength is a world record, while other claim the real world record is actually 457.5 kilos. There is no hard and fast set of records for stuff like this, as there is for say, Olympic weightlifting.
"He said that my kind of strength was unbelievable," Shaw recalled. "It was a one in a million. If I didn't do something with my abilities, I was stupid. That was pretty cool."
Turn your speakers down if you're at work because there are some expletives blurted.
Hat tip to USA Today's For The Win for the video.
Or here is a GIF for you:
Bleacher Report
At least one other competitor tried to lift the same weight, but he failed.
