A Valentine for YOU!
It's almost time for the most romantic of holidays, and while we know it's not for everyone, we still think it's a great excuse to to honor love of all kinds.
LOVE Knee Highs from Gumball Poodle keep their message simple and to-the-point.
Love is a wonderful thing, because it doesn't have to be about romance. This is still a great time to celebrate platonic love, or the love for yourself that can be so difficult to foster. It can be about your love of socks, or the love that a sock company feels for all of its amazing customers…. like you!
Heart Lace Foot Wraps would be unique and romantic even without the adorable little hearts that cover them!
It so happens that this sock company has so much love for their customers that we want to give you all a special valentine:
From February 6th until 11:59 PM on Valentine's Day (which will be on Saturday the 14th), we're offering 20% off of all orders of $14 or more! Just enter the code, "SonnetSocks" when you go to your shopping cart between now and the 14th!
Our Valentine's Logo Lady is available as a sticker – just make an order note requesting one when you place an order!
Much love, and Happy Valentine's Day!

The Future Looks Socky
You might not be aware of this, but some of us like to dabble in the divinatory arts… while none of us have the natural talents of Professor Trelawney (then again, her talents are subconscious, so we might be kind of like her when her abilities aren't manifesting), we thought it might be fun to do a general reading for the new year, using some of our fancy tools!
Shown here: Crochet Look Sleeves and an upcoming arm warmer from Tabbisocks!
Ever ambitious, we thought we'd start out with scrying, or crystal ball gazing. This is thought to be one of the most difficult forms of divination, as it relies on the diviner's ability to see images in the ball, other than the reflections of the room. Gazing into the ball, the image began to clear, and I beheld….. my own hands, magnified. This probably doesn't mean much, except that we have a lot of room to improve on our scrying over the next year. Moving on, then.
Even if you only see your own hand while scrying, your hand could be quite the sight in Palmistry Arm Warmers from Una!
We had to try out some tasseography, or the reading of tea leaves. These days you can learn darned near anything on the internet, and that's how we learned tasseography. After looking up instructions and a visual guide to leaf formations, we made some tea, drained the cup, gave the dregs a swirl, and dumped them out onto a napkin. Examining what was left in the cup we saw… er…. some tea leaf globules? Perhaps they represent new socks? We didn't find any meaning for "globule" formations in the guide, so… probably socks.
Another look at Crochet Look Sleeves from Tabbisocks!
Next we did a bit of light Tarot; a form of cartomancy based on Medieval playing cards. It's a good method for beginners, as each card provides a wealth of information and symbolism to interpret. As we concentrated on the year to come, I let my hand play over the backs of the deck, until it came to rest on the card that felt right…. flipping the card, we beheld the face of Justice. This card represents the search for truth, pure impartiality and true fairness. We hope this is a good omen for the year to come, but if you've been naughty you might want to watch yourself!
Upcoming Tabbisocks arm warmers in oatmeal.
Having found the tarot to be a bit vague, as it often is, we decided to ask yet another source: the pendulum. A pendulum can only give "true or false" answers, and you must calibrate these responses before asking any questions. On the other hand, it's darned hard to not get a clear answer when there are only two available! After determining the swing patterns in which the pendulum gave each possible answer, we asked it, "True or false? 2015 will be a less trying year than 2014 was."
The answer was clear: "tralse".

Year-End Masquerade
Well dreamers, the year is very nearly over. 2014 has been a pretty intense year for a lot of us, it seems, with ups and downs all over the place. As such, we wanted to end the year on a happy note, and we felt that our local vintage cinema – the Moreland Theater—would be the perfect venue.
A meeting through the curtains – on the left Zaf wears Vintage Pinstripe Net Pantyhose with Satin Opera Gloves and a Layered Tulle Petticoat. On the right Sabrina rocks Spandex Fishnet Pantyhose, Stretch Lace Gloves, and a Mid-Length Petticoat.
And so, the Monday before New Years Eve, we got ourselves all glammed up, masquerade style, and headed over for the last photoshoot of the year. All things considered, it's been a pretty good year for photoshoots, with carousels, abandoned train tracks, and gelato galore! We really kind of went above and beyond preparing for this one though….. one must go big for New Years, after all.
Dreamer Kori is wearing Lace Gauntlet Arm Warmers, which conveniently leave her hands free.
The Moreland Theater has been operating in Sellwood (or more accurately West Moreland) since the 1920's, when it was also a venue for Vaudeville acts. The interior definitely reflects the era in which it opened, which is exactly why we wanted to take photos there! They also happen to be our neighbors, and you know we love to support our fellow local businesses.
To the right: Rae lounges in plum Floral Tights, which perfectly match her mask. To the left: Sabrina's pairing of Mid-Length Petticoat and Fishnet Pantyhose is simple, yet simply glamorous.
In addition to treating ourselves to a fancy dress photoshoot, we wanted to treat all of our customers to something nice, too…. While we can't really send you all bottles of champagne, for various reasons, we can offer you a sale! From now until 11:59 PM PST on January 2nd, you can get 20% off orders of $15 or more! Just enter the code, "Socky2015" when you go to check out!
Left: Surveying the theater in Kimi OTKs, Shimmer Organza Petticoat, Double Grip Clips (though one is at half-mast) and an upcoming style of sleeves from Tabbisocks! Right: Kimi OTKs, Floral Tights, Vintage Pinstripe Pantyhose, Signature Cotton Tights, and Fishnet Pantyhose.
Most importantly, don't forget to have a happy (and socky) new year!

Dreamer Dress Up: Snow Day!
Happy holidays dreamers! Things have been in full swing here at Sock Dreams HQ. We've been extra busy getting socks to their destined dreamers, whether they've been naughty or nice. All of that industriousness wont stop us from announcing this month's Dreamer Dress Up winners however.
We saw various levels of bundling for our Snow Day theme. Some of you from warmer climates don't need a whole lot to keep cozy in the winter. Others find it necessary to pile on the layers. Radlee was, without a doubt, our best bundler. She didn't stop at layering a pair of M Stripes over some Long Cuffable Scrunchable socks. She also used another pair of Long Cuffable Scrunchables as a scarf and some Quad Marled Rib Knees as mittens.
Christina doesn't see a lot of snow where she comes from. The nights can still get pretty cold once winter hits. When she cozys up on the couch after a long day, she keeps comfortable in a an over sized sweater and her favorite pair of Floral Tights.
While Summer Anne has seen more wind than snow in her home town, her OTK Tube Socks have been sufficient to keep her toasty. She particularly loves the jewel tone of this royal blue pair. The bright color helps banish some of the season's dreariness. Besides, it matches her secret Santa gift perfectly!
Speaking of colors it is time to announce our next Dreamer Dress Up Theme. Since this one will take place in February, the theme will be Amethyst and Violet, for the gemstone and flower of the month. We want to see what you can create using Sock Dreams products in shades of purple.
And if purple socks isn't enough to get you excited about entering the next competition, we've got two great reasons that you should. Starting now, everyone who sends in a valid entry will receive a personal, one time, 10% discount code. Not only that, but we are also upping our prizes! All three of our next winners will receive a $50 gift card!
Send your submissions to email@example.com. Make sure that your entry includes all of the following:
- 1-2 photos, no larger than 500 x 700 pixels, which shows off your entire outfit.
- A list of the products you used, how they fit the theme, and why you made your choices.
- Your full name, your preferred public name, and your preferred pronoun (she, he, they, etc.)
- Your city, state, zip code, and phone number.
- Your email address.
See our official rules for complete details. And congratulations to this month's Dreamer Dress Up Winners!

Department Spotlight: Officers!
It is now late December, and as such our busy season is both thoroughly underway, and about to start winding down for "the Winter Lull". The lull is really only about a week, during which people go into post-holiday hibernation mode, and can't be roused to purchase socks until early January. In fact, there's kind of a funny story having to do with the lull, but we'll come back to that in a bit… for now we're preparing to wrap up our Department Spotlight series with a piece on the head honchos here at Sock Dreams – the Officers Department.
From left to right: Kori, Mr. Natosi, Niq and Dara
The latest addition to the team (not that any of them are particularly recent additions) would be Dara, who started in 2006. Like all of our officers, Dara fills a variety of roles here, including managing our health insurance (THANK YOU), making our recycling system as efficient and waste-free as possible, and doing a whole lot of purchasing of socks – particularly our USA-made house brands. Most notably, she's behind almost our entire line of Dreamer Socks (little known fact: the Dreamy Bamboo OTKs were originally designed for her wedding). Her favorite part of the job, though, is in true Sock Dreams fashion: the people! Not just her coworkers, but our fabulous customers as well, of course. We love to communicate with our customers, so never hesitate to contact us with questions, feedback, requests, or just silliness! When asked about her favorite socks, she confessed that she, like many long-time Dreamers, is somewhat torn between the past and the present. Her favorites are therefore tied between the O Dreamies in the long-discontinued Classic colorway, and the currently available Dreamer Tartan OTKs in navy with rust.
Kori started just the year before Dara, in 2005. She is now our CFO (because math is awesome), and works with the various other departments to help make the Big Decisions, as well as overseeing the PR and CS departments. Kori's favorite part of the job is also the people, but specifically the people she works with – that's a good thing since she hired most of us! The one thing that we have in common is that we're all total weirdoes. I love these guys! She was a little afraid that her choice of favorite sock – the Extraordinarily Longer Harvest Rainbows—might be a little bit too predictable, so she defended her choice: First of all, ummm… GORGEOUS! And secondly, these longer Extraordinaries go all the way up my legs, past the squishier part of my thighs, so they actually stay up fairly well on their own. But even on more active days, they're long enough that I can pair them with an Industrial Garter Belt for better sock security. Like Dara, Kori's advice to the customers is to talk to us! Not just because we like to hear from you, but because we want to set your feet up with their perfect socks…. their sole mates, if you will.
Mr. Natosi is one of the original Dreamers (which is kind of like being an original vampire, only not). As such, he started around the year 2000. These days he oversees our shipping department, but in the beginning he was the shipping department. He takes well-deserved pride in his department, and their ability to compete with much larger companies in both expedience and accuracy. His favorite socks are either the Dalhgren line of alpaca blend socks for their sheer comfort and warmth, or the Graphic Stripe Midcalves from B. Ella, which he wore for their photo, as they're more visually exciting. His favorite part of working at Sock Dreams is…. Working at Sock Dreams! There are awesome people, there are bacon and waffle days, and we have a wonderful boss… to whom he happens to be married.
Niq was instagramming her own version of this shot as she posed. Instagram is the one social media she still refuses to give up.
And speaking of that awesome boss, last but certainly not least is our founder, head photographer and president, Niq! You may also know her as Niqkita or Monique (when you grow up unable to decide on a name, why not have [at least] three?). As our founder she has been here since the beginning of time, or around the turn of the century to be more precise. In this photo she is seen wearing a pair of O Dreamies in the now-discontinued Antique yarn, but the title of "favorite sock" is split between these and their longer counterpart – the Super Dreamies. Her response for her favorite part of the job was so lovely that you're going to have to read it in her own words: My favorite thing was completely unexpected in the beginning… I love making a difference in people's lives, it's a thing I never thought I could do with socks. From people who love wearing the many socks we offer to people who work for us, either directly or remotely… offering so much more than just a living, offering actual careers with benefits. Not only do I get to live my Dream, I get to see dozens of other people prosper as well simply because I Dreamed out loud and in full color. Pretty precious right? Thank you, Niq, for sharing your Dream with the rest of us!
Niq and Mr. Natosi modeling some long-discontinued stripey socks, way back in the day!
Now, I believe we promised you a special, extra story about The Lull…. as I mentioned earlier, Mr. Natosi and Niq are married, but they weren't when they started working together (which actually happened prior to the inception of Sock Dreams) – that only came to pass in 2003. They wanted to get married on Halloween (who wouldn't?), and even went so far as to fill out a marriage license…. and then Busy Season hit. This was long before they had any other employees. Business was so good that year that they didn't have a chance to get married until it slowed down the day before Christmas Eve – the Lull! Their marriage license was now on the verge of expiring, so knowing it was a long shot, Niq called up the Wedding House. After explaining their situation and simplistic needs, they were able to squeeze in a last-minute wedding, and they got married on Christmas Eve!
Their feet (in the original E. G. Smith Bootsocks), moments before exchanging vows.
This has turned into quite the write-up, but if any department deserves a small essay dedicated to them, it's the officers! We wish Niq and Mr. Natosi the happiest of anniversaries, as they head off to their annual vacation. As for the rest of you: Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Habari Gani?, Joyous Solstice, Fabulous Festivus, and general Seasons Greetings! Whatever you may or may not celebrate, we thank you for taking part in our Dream!

The first commercial for the XPERIA Play has made its way online in recent days, just in time for some Superbowl action. The unlocked cell phone is one that Sony Ericsson has not publicly acknowledged since it was first announced online. The new Xperia play commercial shows the Android logo getting a back room procedure to give it thumbs, presumably so that it can use the controller interface for the XPERIA Play.
The commercial did not give any information about the pricing or release date of the phone. But, the fact that they are starting to push and promote it means that you can probably expect some information to come out at the MWC in just a few weeks.
The XPERIA Play has had a number of videos leak of it being used. Of course, the phones and devices in the video are probably just prototypes, and with the hype surrounding the phone you can expect the specs to be bulked up. As of right now, all signs point to the unconfirmed specs being a 1 GHZ Qualcomm Snapdrogon processor, a slide out controller with joysticks for playing the games, a 5 megapixel camera that can record HD video quality, and a large 4 inch touchscreen that should be great for playing your favorite games from the recently announced Sony game marketplace.
So far Sony has not given out much information regarding the potential games that you could see for the device, but it is believed that PSP games might be added to their Sony Game Suite for the launch of the XPERIA Play. The game suite will also reportedly feature a number of different third party games, specifically designed for Android devices such as Xpeia X10 unlocked. Expect more details about the device to become available in the coming week, especially with the first commercial leaked.

Taiwan's top smartphone manufacturer, HTC, cannot seem to catch a break when pitted against Apple's iPhone 4S. The many patent cases that have flown between the two companies have mainly had judgments in Apple's favor. Based on recent revenue reports, the trend seems to be continuing.
On Monday, earnings for the fourth quarter of last year were released and projections for the first quarter of this year that fall shy of industry expectations. When following the numbers, HTC has seemingly been stuck in second gear since Apple released the iPhone 4S.
Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative protection solutions... stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
To put it in hard numbers, HTC reported consolidated revenue of NT$101.42 billion (US$3.43 billion) for the fourth quarter of 2011, a drop of 25.33 percent from the previous quarter.
HTC also said its revenue may drop 31 to 36 percent sequentially to between NT$65 billion and NT$70 billion in the first quarter of 2012, as it is still undergoing a product cycle transition.
The news doesn't look much brighter to kick of 2012. The expectation was that HTC would net $85 billion this quarter. Instead, the money looks closer to $64 billion.
Enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and glider gloves all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
So is the manufacturer going the way of Research In Motion (albeit without the bad-boy executive behavior and panache)? Well, that remains to be seen. New products are bound to be released in 2012 that could turn things around, but what how will those smartphones and tablets compare to the Apple competition. Their availability of 4G LTE and unlocked handset options could boost interest and sales as well.

Leapin' lizards! Nothing against my parents, but after the first time I saw ANNIE as a child, I wanted to be an orphan so badly. I yearned to spend my days performing cleaning dances while singing "It's a Hard Knock Life," and I couldn't wait for Daddy Warbucks (Albert Finney) to whisk me away to his huge mansion. (In fact, I'm still hoping this might happen, although cleaning isn't nearly as fun as orphans make it look.)
ANNIE continues to shine like the top of the Chrysler building as a musical classic, and we're giving a whole new generation the chance to fall in love with that spunky redhead (played by the irresistible Aileen Quinn) and her trusty dog, Sandy. From the deliciously awful Miss Hannigan (Carol Burnett) to the taciturn and towering Punjab (Geoffrey Holder), this film is studded with stellar performances and show-stopping numbers.
You can bet your bottom dollar that you and your kids will leave the theater with a huge smile on your face and "Tomorrow" stuck in your head. We love you, Miss Hannigan! (Sarah Pitre)

LOWVILLE A quartet of Republican Assemblymen got an earful Tuesday from teachers, parents and administrators about the states new Common Core curriculum.
We became teachers to help our students succeed, but this is not promoting success, Copenhagen Central School English teacher Lori M. Griffin told a panel of state lawmakers during an education forum at Lowville Academy and Central School sponsored by the Assemblys minority conference.
Ive never in my 30 years of teaching felt so frustrated, added Debbie Dermady, an elementary teacher with the Thousand Islands Central School District.
Mrs. Dermady added that the teacher evaluation system is flawed, that some elementary reading material about bombings and wars is particularly inappropriate for children of soldiers and that it is difficult to see positive results on the Common Core implementation.
They arent listening to us, she said of state education officials. We can only hope they will listen to you.
Members of the panel local Assemblymen Kenneth D. Blankenbush, R-Black River, and Marc W. Butler, R-Newport, and a pair of Assembly Education Committee members from Long Island, Edward P. Ra, R-Franklin Square, and Al Graf, R-Holbrook said they have been hearing similar sentiments at similar sessions elsewhere in the state and will take any concerns back to Albany when the new session commences in mid-January.
Its unfortunate weve gotten to this point without your voices being heard, said Mr. Ra, the ranking minority member on the Education Committee.
Mr. Graf, who holds a bachelors degree in elementary education from SUNY Plattsburgh and has taught in an alternative education program, said he is concerned that the so-called cookie-cutter curriculum is hamper learning.
I liken it to throwing spaghetti against the wall, he said. Some of it will stick, but most of it wont.
The assemblymen also noted that most Board of Regents members do not having backgrounds in education. Mr. Blankenbush said he has votedno on every candidate for those posts because he typically gets their resumes only about an hour in advance. Those posts are essentially selected by Assembly Democratic leadership, as they have enough votes for passage, he said.
Several speakers at the two-hour session said they support higher standards in education. However, they raised a variety of issues they have with current initiatives, including apparent spelling and factual errors on some Common Core lessons, lack of funding or time for training prior to implementation, apparent devaluing of vocational training, lack of flexibility for special needs students, erosion of local control of curriculum development and high-stakes tests that are upsetting students.
Lowville Academy third grade teacher Susan J. Rubenzahl read a letter one of her students last year wrote to Gov. Andrew N. Cuomo with concerns about the extensive standardized testing, along with a responding letter that didnt really address her issues. Ive never seen a more defeated child, she said.
Multiple speakers suggested that state leaders abandon or at least slow down implementation of the new standards, possibly through a three-year moratorium as proposed by the New York State United Teachers, and the lawmakers agreed.
The implementation of this was a disaster, Mr. Graf said.
Several speakers also expressed concern that information that is being compiled on students may not end up being confidential and later be used against them and that early-elementary lessons on early Mesopotamian civilization and various religions are not appropriate for such young students.
Mickey D. Dietrich, a Tug Hill Commission employee and parent of an elementary student, said many Common Core materials he has seen appear to have never been proofed and some of the math lessons are difficult to understand for even he and his wife, both of whom hold Masters degrees.
Its abuse abuse of our children and destroying our future, said area foreign language teacher Pamela Watson.

While it may seem to many Carbon County residents that the general election last fall just finished, it's time for local candidates thinking about running for city offices to get ready to file to run in the November 2009 races.
Starting on July 1, residents wishing to run for offices within all the incorporated cities in the area may file their declarations of candidacy.
The time frame on the filing is narrow because the election hopefuls must have the appropriate documents into their respective cities by July 15.
According to deputy county clerk Alexis Horsley, the number of candidates filing for a position will determine if there will be a primary election for the mayoral and council seats affected in 2009.
If more than two people apply for a position in a town, then the primary election will be conducted on Sept. 15. The primary results will whittle down the number for any single city office to two for the general election on Nov. 3.
All the municipalities in the county will be affected by the 2009 voting process, with every city's mayor being up for re-election.
All of the cities also have several open council seats.
The elected city offices that will appear on the November ballot include:
â¢Price - Mayor and two four-year city councilmembers.
â¢Helper - Mayor as well as two four-year and two two-year city council seats.
â¢Wellington - Mayor as well as two four-year and two two-year city council positions.
â¢East Carbon - Mayor along with two four-year and one two-year city councilmembers.
â¢Sunnyside - Mayor along with two four-year and one two-year city council seats.
In addition to the city elections, the Price River Water Improvement District will be conducting an election for one boardmember at the November polls.
PRWID has two at large county positions on the water improvement district board.
The filing process for the open position on the PRWID board must be completed during the July 1 to July 15 period.
Candidates must file to run for the county at large position on the PRWID board at the water improvement district offices on Fairgrounds Road.

Hahaha, wow. The meals and the toy songs really got me. Does anyone else's daycare or playgroup do the "clean up" song? I've been going to a playgroup lately where they sing it at the end, and DS likes it enough that we've been singing it at home. Needless to say, I've had "Clean up! Clean up! Everybody, everywhere! Clean up! Clean up! Everybody do your share." in my head for a week now. Oof.
We're having a rough week with bedtime. DS (19 months) is screaming his head off when we put him down, and keeping it up for quite awhile. There is clearly nothing wrong, as the second one of us comes in the room he starts chatting away, so I think we need to just power through it. We have a consistent bedtime routine and I've started giving him lots of lead time -- telling him we're going to read one more book and then go to bed, etc., but nothing is helping. The second I go to put him in the crib he erupts. I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips to try and nip this in the bud. He's such a good sleeper and has always gone down so happy, so we're feeling a little overwhelmed. Doesn't help that DH was away all weekend and we're both exhausted.

Poppy, Hot Dog Dance is what they do at the end of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse tv show :)
Arcain - could it be separation anxiety? I seem to remember my DD1 goign through sleep issues at about 20-21 months. She was anxious about going to sleep and would wake up screaming. I think they realize it's a long separation from you and they want to delay it. I don't know how verbal he is but you could try telling him/reminding him that you sleep in the next room and are very close by. Does he have a comfort object or even a favorite toy car or truck that you could let him sleep with? Good luc!k!

Thanks, Rama, I didn't get that either! (I hate that show!)
Arcain - I agree with Rama that it's probably developmental. I think we did a lot of going back in every couple of minutes at around that age? I thought for us (personal experience only!) it worked better than leaving for longer stretches. I think because the only thing was wrong was just wanting us to stay with her. A longer stretch always resulted in her getting so upset. The first few nights we had to go back in many many times, but it gradually diminished. Good luck! Whatever it is, I know it's so hard when you're so tired!
Speaking of which, I am so tired. :) DS woke up a lot two nights ago, and then last night slept great, except that instead of waking up around 3 AM to eat, he didn't wake up to eat until 5:15. That's sort of good (progress, maybe!) but also I am more tired today because first of all I woke up around 4 anyway, wondering what was going on. And then after feeding him, it was late enough that I didn't get back to bed. Ah, well. He was super snuggly and he is doing so much "talking" lately! His talking is the cutest thing I have ever, ever seen. He moves his mouth like he's really trying to say something.

I was cracking up at the baby sideburns lady! too funny!
Arcain - I dont have any advice for you but hope this phase passes quickly.
DS had his 15 month check up today. I decided to give him toast with peanutbutter on it so if anything happened we would be at the doctors. No reactions! He grew 3 inches in the last 3 months, now in the 100% for height and 60% for weight. He recieved 4 shots that didnt go over very well :( Other than that he is a healthy toddler!

Ugh! Now I have that stupid hot dog song in my head! My nephew used to love that song.
Great report Pugs. Three inches!
This is quickly becoming my mantra, but could it be teeth Arcain? Molars? Sometimes laying down makes the pressure worse?
I'm looking for opinions - I signed DD adn my mom up for a playgroup that starts tomorrow. I'm torn between using my lunch time to go with them or letting them go and have it be "thier" thing? I'd love to see her first reaction, but suppose I could go another time... what to do?

Thanks, all. I think separation anxiety is it. He's getting even more chatty and interactive, and a teeny bit more clingy (which I will take any time because he's never been much of a cuddler!). I don't think it's teeth because he's shown no signs of pain otherwise...plus, he never lies down in the crib during these sessions -- just jumps up and down and screams. If he weren't so upset, it would be funny!
Med, so it worked for you to go back in there? DH and I have been doing that but wondering if we're just exacerbating the problem because he knows he can get us back in there by screaming. Plus, when we do go in, he screams just as hard as before the second we put him down -- doesn't even wait until we leave the room. I do tell him I'll be just down the hall and back to check on him soon, but it doesn't seem to help. I don't know if he gets concepts like that yet. We never had to do CIO when he was littler, so I'm clueless as to whether that's an appropriate strategy here.
So cute about your DS's talking! I love that stage when it's all babbling but they mimic real speech. So cute! Sorry you're so tired though.
Pugs - Great news on all but the shots. Hopefully he'll feel better as the day goes on!
Nov - Could you just go tomorrow to see how it goes and then let them do it on their own afterwards?

Hi everyone. Happy October!
Arcain - could be separation anxiety, especially at that age. DD1 (now 3) went through a lot of weird sleep issues around 18-20 months. I think sometimes it also has to do with new milestones - both physical and developmental. Those caused quite a few sleep disruptions in our house.
Pugs - great check up! (minus the shots - poor guy!)
Novem - I would say maybe tag along to the first playgroup if you want to. That way you can check it out and let them go by themselves the next time. I always like to be able to envision where DD is and I like being able to put names with faces.
clc - thanks for the link - I definitely laughed at that list!
Med - sorry you are tired. I am right there with ya. If DD2 is going to wake up in the night (which she almost always does), I would rather it be at 2:00am and not 4:00am since I get up at 5:00 anyways! The other day she got up at 3:50 and that was basically it for me - I was up for the day. Sounds so ridiculous - but then makes total sense when I pass out sitting upright in a chair at 8:30 at night!
As for me - DD2 turned 4 months old yesterday. She is getting so cute I can hardly stand it. And the babbling and talking is full force. I swear she thinks we are having a complete conversation. With all of this, she has also become a very distracted nurser, and breaks into a huge smile if I look down at her and make eye contact. While it warms my heart, I wish she would just eat and focus. She also is constantly trying to turn her head when she hears DD1 running around or hears DH's voice (she has become SUCH a daddy's girl). I know the simple solution is to go in a dark, quiet room to feed her, but that bums me out and hopefully I won't have to do that. I like to be a part of the action too and interacting with DD1 and DH in the evenings is part of our family routine. However, last night DD2 clamped down her little gums and bit me while turning her head to try to look over at DH and DD1. Yowsers!! I saw stars and almost jumped through the ceiling. Let's hope that is not a new trend or we'll be weaning asap!
For once I'm actually a little bit ahead in terms of Halloween. Both girls have their costumes already. DD1 is a pirate princess and DD2 is a strawberry (cute little Carter's costume). Yay. Check that off the to-do list. :)

Funny on your suggestions, as I was leaning toward having them go without me to the first one so my Mom could have that moment, and then joing them in a couple of weeks once they have established their routine there. I have until tomorrow to decide. I'd ask my mom, but I know she'll say - whatever you want is fine with me. There's just that little nagging pang of guilt that I should be (or would like to be) the one doing this kind of thing with her. Sigh...

Oh man, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I was doing well on the "no TV before age 2" thing, but I've caved a bit lately since I've been solo while DH has been away/working late. Had the show on the other day and DS was absolutely enchanted, kept saying "monkey" when he saw Mickey and saying "hi" when a new character came on screen. I turned it off when he lost interest, so I missed the Hot Dog Song, but I can tell from what I've seen that he's going to love it and it's going to drive me nuts :-).

Thanks, guys, for the sympathy on the tiredness! ALS - yes, DS is also easily distracted by DH and/or DD when nursing! Although smiling at mommy is the biggest problem. :)
Novem - I am on the opposite side and would probably let it be their thing, or maybe join at a later date. I can't remember how old your LO is? My mom has taken DD to a music class for a long time and it's definitely special for them.
Arcain - I can't remember a lot of things about how old DD was for certain things. But I think it was after we got past that 15 month mark when we started this going back after a few minutes. However, we didn't pick her up (I think you are maybe?). We would go in, say some kind of calm reassuring thing that was the same every time (I forget what), and then leave again. Wait a really short time, repeat. I found the short time worked for us because she wouldn't get so worked up that she wouldn't calm down when we came to say the reassuring thing. When I say we did it a lot of times, I mean like 20 times at first. Then it diminished. But honestly, the thing that was the most important for me was Having A Plan. Even if the plan was going badly, not having to think (or discuss with DH) about what to do made it a lot easier.
You're right about the part about making them realize that if they scream, you will come. However, for me personally (others will disagree), with the older kid I preferred the idea that I wasn't going to stay but I would keep coming back, over the idea that I was just gone. Now that DD is 3, we instituted that we will come back to check on her as long as she does NOT scream (and if she does scream we'll shut her door) - but I don't think that would have worked at 19 months. GL!

Life took care of itself... I now have a meeting at the same time as playgroup. I'm sure I'll get a full report this afternoon. On a separate note, DD's halloween costume arrived last night, so we tried it on this am. So cute!!

Arcain - in our house it's, "Clean up, clean up, everybody do your chair!" (??) Hope bedtime gets better for you soon. We absolutely went through that with DD at that age. It didn't last forever. CIO did NOT work for DD (she would just scream, never stop and fall asleep). We did something similar to what Medford did and it (pretty much) worked.
Nov - how did the playgroup go for your mom and DD?
Re: October Infants & Toddlers

Two things...
In the last couple of days, DS has been moaning/grunting while he's nursing. It sounds almost like he's p00ping but there's no p00p. Has this happened to anyone else? I've tried taking him off and burping him, but he starts to cry and root immediately. He seems uncomfortable but I can't figure out what needs to be fixed.
Also (and I know it's early), but what's everyone's experience with babies at Christmas? DS will be about 8 months. I don't want to get him a ton of stuff because I know he'll be spoiled by his aunties and grandparents. I know he won't care about gifts but I feel like we should do something. We'll probably do a little stocking for him and maybe one big gift, I just don't know what. Everything that I have my eye on is a little too big for him this Christmas.

The report back was that DD loved playgroup - hopped right in playing with all the toys, and actually sat still for music circle. My Mom said she loved watching DD interact with the different kids, and different toys and saw her as a kid instead of a baby. So sweet!!
Chiclet - last Christmas we got DD an excersaucer and a few small things - mostly becuase we have little nieces and nephews to answer to and couldnt; think of a reason why Santa wouldn't bring something to a baby. The rest of the family absolutely went hog wild on gifts for her though. If there are bigger things you know you want, like a sandbox, and people are looking for gifts to give, you can always store them away.

We did similar to Summer and Nov when our kids were really little.
CT, thanks for the links. I actually think I might get us one of these this year (I used to have one for DD but I think it was left behind when we lived with my in-laws. I haven't seen it since we moved...) We went to the Children's Museum yesterday and both kids (1 and 3) *loved* the ball drop room (not sure what else to call it). And we saw John Travolta and Kelly Preston and their son. Good time had by all. ;)

I've learned with my second not not really get them anything! they get spoiled by everyone around them, and they have no idea who gave them what. This year for DD's 2nd birthday we only gave her a few things, more essential things like clothes and future toys, esp. when she was younger than a year!
Arcain-both of my kids when through a horrible sleep phase at 19 months. It was at hte point when I would put them in their crib and they would scream like I was feeding them to lions. it was great. the only thing that worked for us was time, about 4-6 weeks after it started it ended. With DS I powered through and did the revisit every 5 min. with DD I just didn't have it in me so I just rocked her to sleep-soundly asleep! It just wasn't worth the hassle of hearing her cry, esp when I knew it would abruptly end. And it did for her, now I put her in bed awake and she puts herself back to sleep-so I didn't break her by rocking her. phew!
Re: October Infants & Toddlers

Chiclet, we didn't get anything for DD's first Christmas, except for a stocking with her name on it. Probably will do the same for DS. (Although I'm glad someone made the point about questions about Santa from older kids... hmm.) If people ask what you would like, try to think of things that will be right for the coming year, even if they're too old for your DS right now.
Bad couple of sleep nights. We are finally stopping swaddling. DS (5 months) is probably too old anyway, his feet are pushing on the end of the miracle blanket, and (more importantly) he busted out of it completely the other night plus he is now rolling over from his back to his front! But he is soooo displeased with not being swaddled. He woke up all night long. Nothing to do but ride it out and wait for him to get adjusted, but I am a little bit unsure of how to help him. We'll let him fuss, but when he starts really yelling, we go in, and he's not flailing - he's there with his eyes closed and his arms still! Just yelling. I thought it would be all kinds of flailing. So we mostly shush him and give him a pacifier and he's fine. Surprising, though.

Med - have you tried swaddling just his legs? DD always hated her arms tucked in, so we used to burrito wrap her legs befor putting her in the crib.
Re: October Infants & Toddlers
posted at 10/8/2013 12:38 PM EDT
Hmmm, never thought of that, Novem! Thanks for the idea. Do you use a plain swaddle blanket?
I can't remember for the life of me what we did with DD. I think she just wasn't as attached to being swaddled and we weren't as consistent about using it. With DS we have done it every single night and he has been a pretty good sleeper (better than she was).

Event planners and promoters will soon have a new tool to get the word out: a fully-integrated and interactive community calendar on the Internet. The Carbon County Commission approved the expenditure of about $3,900 per year from the restaurant tax fund to get the system running.
Barry Horsley of the county's information technology staff explained to commissioners that agencies such as the Travel Region, County Recreation, the shooting range and fairgrounds will be able to access the website and post their events. In an interview later, he told the Sun Advocate that the system is expandable, which means that other big event venues such as Utah State University College of Eastern Utah could get access.
As the system grows, smaller event hosts would be able to get information onto the site after passing through an editing process.
This is not a calendar that will just sit there and wait for a hit, he continued. People who want to receive e-mails or text messages can subscribe to that service, and they will be able to select the agency or organization they want to hear from. City councils or other government agencies could also post their agendas are send them out this way.
Also in the works is online registration forms for such things as conferences or tours.
Mr. Horsley said the objective is to get more people in and out of the community to take advantage of what Carbon County has to offer.
Hosted Solutions is the company that will design and manage the service, Mr. Horsley said. The calendar should be up an running in about a week.

Absolutely perfect software. Very easy to start using with so good interface. For hardware experimenter and hacker, can work as best software tool. As bonus, he's not platform independent. Thank You very much for work and for making this software free.

There is a little discussion about this problem but nothing helpful. I've been without for a couple weeks now and I'm beginning to think that if I want to use logisim again it will have to be on a different computer, I am bummed!
Very good SW, but many errors: - 3+ inputs XOR gate incorrect output (e.g. 3x ones, output give ZERO or 3+ ones on inputs always give ZERO) - while moving block, wire lines are blue and Logisim must be restarted (reloaded circuit) ... EDIT: XOR have setting for working "correctly"

George Zimmerman's attorney is again asking to take the deposition of a lawyer who interviewed a teenager who says she was on the phone with Trayvon Martin moments before he was shot by the neighborhood watch leader.
Attorney Mark O'Mara, a former Local 6 legal analyst, said in a court filing Monday that new evidence has come out since a judge earlier denied a motion that would have allowed Zimmerman's legal team to depose lawyer Ben Crump.
The new evidence includes an admission by prosecutors that the teen lied when she said she had been so distraught over Martin's death that she was hospitalized and couldn't attend his funeral. O'Mara says that lie raises questions about the truthfulness of other parts of her testimony.
Martin was fatally shot by Zimmerman during a confrontation in Sanford a year ago.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. His trial is scheduled to begin in June.

LANCASTER, NY - A female student at Lancaster High School went into cardiac arrest Wednesday morning in the school. The girl collapsed right in the school's lobby, around the time of the opening bell.
According to a spokeswoman for the district, another student got the nurse and they called 911.
The student was lucky there was also a response team already in place at the school. Fire officials tell 2 On Your Side that the girl is alive, largely because this team was so close to her.
"Thanks to their skill and our skill we were fortunate to have this young lady recover her heartbeat and breathing before she was loaded into the ambulance," said Bob Sinclair, the first assistant chief of the Bowmansville Fire Department.
The girl fell around 7:30 a.m. Firefighters believe she is a junior or a senior. The school response team rushed to the girl and started giving her CPR.
"I can't tell you how long it took them to get their team together and start CPR, but it was relatively quickly," said Sinclair.
The student then regained consciousness and started talking at the school.
Firefighters say that the student didn't go into full cardiac arrest. If she did, they say it would've been tough to get her back.
The student was taken to the hospital and the last we've been told is that she's in intensive care.

MBDA Business Center Spotlight: Puerto Rico
While most of the work the MBDA Business Center in San Juan, Puerto Rico does is conducted in Spanish, that is where the differences between it and the 40 other MBDA Business Centers across the country end. Just like the other MBDA Business Centers throughout the nation, the Puerto Rico MBDA Business Center works diligently to secure contracts for its clients and build wealth for its community. It also guides clients in putting together business strategies that will attract financing.
One recent example that stands out involved a business owner looking to open a jewelry store in the island's biggest shopping mall. Confident that the endeavor would be a huge success, after being turned away by bank after bank, the owner contacted the MBDA Business Center.
Congress Returns, President Signs Bill for Sandy Flood Insurance
Created on January 29, 2013
On Thursday, January 3rd, 2013, the 113th Congress was sworn in and began the new legislative session. One of its first acts came on Friday, January 4th, when the House and Senate passed a bill providing $9.7 billion in aid for victims of Superstorm Sandy. Signed by President Obama on January 6, the aid comes in the form of increased borrowing authority for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) so that it remains able to meet its obligations and compensate survivors of the natural disaster.
Have you looked at your firm's export attributes?

Thinking bigger, thinking broader, and working smarter is commonplace for business owners. The same holds true for MBDA in promoting the growth and global competitiveness of America's fastest growing companies, the minority business community. As we look ahead, we are encouraged that the Build it Here, Sell it Everywhere vision of the U.S. Department of Commerce continues to resonate and gain momentum throughout the business community.
The value of tapping into international markets cannot be overstated. Boosting exports is critical to stimulating our country's economic growth and job creation. This is an area in which minority-owned businesses play a leadership role. Shared languages, cultural affinities, and a global reach that spans 41 countries on six continents make minority-owned firms natural exporters.

Minority Entrepreneurs — Continuous Success with Angel Investors!
Created on January 23, 2013
Minority-owned businesses are the fastest growing business sector in the Nation, in terms of gross receipts and paid employees.[1] Yet, access to capital remains the biggest obstacle limiting their establishment, expansion and growth. While traditional funding remains the most sought after source of capital, alternative funding sources, such as angel investors, have proven successful for minority entrepreneurs.
Minorities represent on average less than 7% of all entrepreneurs seeking funding from angel investors. However, they succeed in acquiring angel funding as often as their non-minority counterparts. From January 2009 to June 2012, 17% of all entrepreneurs seeking angel investor funding succeeded. The yield rate for minority entrepreneurs during that same period was 16.1%, a negligible difference. The yield rate is the percentage of investment opportunities that are brought to the attention of investors that result in an investment.

CHCI's Ready to Lead Draws 150 Students to NEIU in Chicago
|View the Facebook Gallery
Chicago students representing eighteen area high schools joined CHCI for its Ready to Lead (R2L) Chicago event at Northeastern Illinois University on Saturday, October 13, 2012. Though the clouds had rolled in by early morning, inclement weather was not enough to stop the 150 students who attended the event to receive intensive college-going training, mentorship, and the motivation needed to successfully complete high school and pursue a postsecondary education. The day opened with a special address from NEIU President, Dr. Sharon K. Hahs. Dr. Hahs provided a friendly and warm reception for students and chaperones present, and assured the audience about her personal commitment, and that of NEIU's, to diversity, inclusion and access.
Participants received in-depth training in three key areas necessary for college preparation: college planning, financial literacy, and leadership development. Sponsors and members of the community partnered with R2L for the interactive delivery of these three workshop sessions. Presenters included Julissa Cruz and Renzo Mejia, both of whom are CHCI alumni and challenged students to discover their inner leader; Hector Cambray, Escalera Youth Coach at Instituto Del Progreso Latino, who guided participants through a fun, student-friendly approach to the college planning process; and Troiria Baker from the Economic Awareness Council, who shared with students the many ways to become financially savvy in a time of alarming tuition hikes and a recovering economy. Additional support for the financial literacy workshop was provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
Also in attendance was State Senator Iris Y. Martinez of the 20th District of Chicago, who kicked off the Mentoring Power Hour session with a very special speech about the workforce's need for Latino students to graduate from college at a greater rate. After Senator Martinez's address, over fifty area professionals and college students joined us for the hour-long mentoring activity to share their personal success stories, and serve as living proof that Latinos can obtain an education and persevere as leaders in their communities. Through this session, participants were offered an opportunity to see themselves reflected in the experiences of their mentors, and hopefully, find within themselves the courage necessary to become successful college graduates. Mentors represented a variety of distinguished organizations and cut across all sectors, including: the Chicago Police Department, Columbia College – Chicago, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Hispanic Scholarship Fund, the NEIU Alumni Association, and Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, Inc.
The event closed with a powerful keynote address from actor and official R2L spokesperson, Wilmer Valderrama. Valderrama told students about his family's struggle to put food on the table at times, and how by launching a successful career in television, film, production, and business he was able to prove wrong all those who had doubted him. CHCI is proud to have offered yet another successful R2L event and hopes to continue to educate, motivate, and empower Latino youth in Chicago.

Yep. Not a lot to cheer about. Hawks dont seem to have the legs tonight to get out of Boston's forecheck without consequence.
Yep. Not a lot to cheer about. Hawks dont seem to have the legs tonight to get out of Boston's forecheck without consequence.
No offense, but forget the ice condition excuses, they were both playing on the same surface. The Bruin defense and Rask were the difference.

Yesterday might be as hot and humid a day as we get here all summer, the ice should be much better for the next game unless the forecast is way off.
"Reality tells us there are no guarantees. Except that some day Jon Lester will be on that list of 100-game winners." - Peter Gammons
I wasnt making the excuse about the ice. Both teams were on it. Im a lousy loser I will admit. Even if the Bruins win the best youre likely to get out of me is that the Hawks didnt play their game lol. But I didnt mean to imply it was because of the ice.
It was just nasty ugly hockey last night that wasnt much fun to watch.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
As a neutral, I'm still pretty stoked to see an Original Six final. The intensity in the arenas has been spectacular. It's not just two teams playing for a Stanley Cup, it's a collision of pride and history as well. Very cool.
Raisel Ghul, the Demon's Head
Make that a thing.
I didn't feel that Rask was actually tested a whole lot. Almost all of the Hawks real good chances simply missed the net (a handful of times a Hawk trailer had time in the slot and an open shot to the net... each time the shot missed by an inch).......... each of the Bruins last 3 goals have gone off the post and in.
In all, I just don't don't see the large difference that media and most fans are making the serious out to be. Yes, Bruins are smothering Hawks deep in the defensive zone, but has come at a cost of giving the Hawks trailors time and space. Hawks need to make the adjustment with chip ins instead of ringing the pucks around the boards, get possession to the outside, and there will be room to get scoring chances. It's not going to be downlow by the net. It's going to come from point shots and medium open slot opportunities.
Rask has been good no question, but for bulk of the time has not been tested heavily (only time he was sounded testly was first 20 minutes of game 2, which admittedly, made a number of stops that kept the Bruins in at early).
Joseph (06-18-2013)
I guess I might have been watching a different game, Patrick.
The game I saw was controlled by the Bruins and had Claude Julien stamped all over it. The Bruins won virtually every faceoff and played their coach's style of layered defense to control all three zones.
I don't think it is fair to dismiss the Bruins' effort last night. Blackhawks are a great team, and Boston simply outplayed them employing their style of play. It wasn't luck. The Bruins played their game, and it worked perfectly. Wednesday night might be different story, but from last night, the Bruins deserve credit for playing their game against another great team.
"I am your child from the future. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this earlier." - Dylan Easton
And yet, with all the control Boston had, Hawks did have better puck possession numbers (by a material amount to boot). The Bruins chances generally, were better than the Hawks (I think generally the Hawks d-men got caught being too yippy when faced with pressure last night with - ie. Roszival blindly ringing around the boards when faced with only one Boston forechecker which directly related to goal #1).
I'm not saying the Bruins won as a result of luck. I think it was more the Blackhawks making more than their normal share of goofball decisions in their own end and powerplay which led to some very high end Bruin chances. Essentially I'm arguing that Boston isn't creating a heck of a lot of chances from their rush/forecheck any more (perhaps even less than the Hawks), but have been getting the odd goal from some opportunistic chances.
Boston well deserves to be up 2-1, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the Hawks aren't a few tweaks away from turning their possession into more prime opportunities in the middle of the ice with some traffic into some goals. It's clear the tactics the Hawks have been eploying have been well covered by the Bruins and is not consistent with the style the Hawks ought to be employing.
If they can make those tweaks, Boston wont be able to cover every seem, and Rask will be tested. And if the Hawks get a few by him, I don't think Boston will be able to keep up purely as a result of opportunistic chances.
I wish this game would hurry up and start. I've already started pacing.
"I am your child from the future. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this earlier." - Dylan Easton
Joseph (06-19-2013)
Hawks out strong tonight. As with several goals this series a Hawks mistake is buried by the B's.
One thing I could do without in hockey in general is the chanting of the goalies name after giving up a goal. Not just a Bruins thing, its done in many arenas and I've always found it sort of dumb.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
the hawks have scored more today, than the reds the past two games...
damn, this second period is exciting
Hell of a game so far.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

Small Business Administration
Help for business owners regarding the new health care laws.
Web site and blog [1]
NEW ! [2]Employer [2] Mandate Start Date Moved to January 2015
On July 2, 2013, the White House announced that the employer mandate compliance date has been moved from January 2014 to January 2015. Read the details. [2]
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (HCERA) were signed into law in 2009 and 2010 respectively. Included in these new "health care reform" laws was a mandate on certain large employers to provide health insurance to their employees beginning in 2015 (or pay a penalty of $2,000 per employee).
Applicability to Camps as Employers
The law requires employers with fifty or more "full-time employees or full-time equivalents" to provide health insurance to employees that meet minimal coverage requirements. For camps with seasonal operations, the law excludes employers whose workforce exceeds fifty full-time employees for 120 days or fewer during a calendar year if the employees in excess of fifty who were employed during that period of no more than 120 days were seasonal workers. As each organization is different, it is important that you determine now if you will be required to meet the mandate.
Impact on Small Business
The law requires applicable large employers to offer and contribute to their workers' health insurance or pay a penalty. Small employers who offer health coverage may be able to receive a tax credit. Under the new law, effective for months beginning after Dec. 31, 2014, a large employer that 1) does not offer coverage for all its full-time employees, 2) offers minimum essential coverage that is unaffordable, or 3) offers minimum essential coverage that consists of a plan under which the plan's share of the total allowed cost of benefits is less than 60%, is required to pay a penalty if any full-time employee is certified to the employer as having purchased health insurance through a state exchange with respect to which a tax credit or cost-sharing reduction is allowed or paid to the employee. For more details, access this article. [3] In addition, the Small Business Administration has launched a new web site and blog to educate small business owners about the Affordable Care Act. Access their new web site. [1]
Important Tracking for the Year 2013
The calendar year of 2013 is important as it is the time that employers are required to track information about their employees, which will then be used to determine if they meet the requirement as a large employer. In preparation for this tracking, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has just released new proposed rules to help employers determine if they are included in the mandate. [4]
While businesses, including camps, continue to learn how health care reform will impact them as employers and providers of health care to children, youth and adults, it is important that the camp community stay abreast of health care reform details and the reform movement. Below are links to important resources.
- Announcement on the delay of the employer mandate from 2014 to 2015. [2] Update July 2013
- Small Business Administration: a new web page and blog [1]dedicated to educating small business owners about the Affordable Care Act.
- Internal Revenue Service - new proposed rules to help employers determine if they are included in the mandate. [4]

- The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act [9](Public Law 111-152, passed January 5, 2010).
- Health Care Reform Impact on Businesses [3]
- National Prevention, Health Promotion and Public Health Council [10]: Created by the two public laws above, the Council is charged with identifying and prioritizing actions across many sectors to reduce the incidence and burden of the leading causes of death and disability. July 2010 Preliminary Report. [11] Initiatives include:

- Let's Move [13]- First Lady Michelle Obama's initiative which raises awareness about the problem of childhood obesity and how the nation can work together to solve it.
- Solving the Problem of Childhood Obesity Within a Generation [14]- which aims to return the nation's childhood obesity rate to just 5 percent by 2030.
- The Surgeon General's Vision for a Healthy and Fit Nation 2010 [15]- which expands and strengthens earlier efforts and outlines opportunities for prevention.
- Communities Putting Prevention to Work [16]- which includes grants funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that expands the use of evidence-based prevention strategies and programs, mobilizes resources at the community level, and strengthens public health action by the states.
- Toward Zero Deaths: A National Strategy on Highway Safety [17]- which seeks to improve motor vehicle safety and includes the Presidential Executive Order prohibiting federal employees who are on official duty or using government equipment from text messaging while driving.
- The Safe Routes to School Program [18]- which works to make walking and bicycling to school a safe and appealing form of transportation.
- President's Food Safety Working Group [19]- which establishes a new, public health-focused approach to food safety.

Other Name: Intensive CBT for High Risk Teens with a mood disorder
Active Comparator: Standard Care
Standard Treatment in the Community
Behavioral: Standard Care
Treatment at step-down facilities
Other Name: Treatment as Usual
Detailed Description:
Suicidal ideation and behavior are the primary reasons for emergency psychiatric care and inpatient psychiatric hospitalization in this country. These expensive contacts with the health care system effectively address acute suicidality for many adolescents but there is a significant subset of suicidal patients that have continued suicidality. This study will target teens that are at risk for re-hospitalization based on continued suicidal ideation, their mood and another risk factor such as self-harm or substance use. These risk factors have been shown to increase risk for continued suicidal behavior and expensive contacts with the health care system. This protocol has been designed to determine whether Intensive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which was designed to treat adolescents with a mood disorder, suicidal ideation, and substance use, will result in better treatment outcomes compared to standard care in the community. The Intensive CBT condition will be delivered by a team of two licensed mental health therapists over the course of one year and will work with both the teen and parent. The standard care condition will receive treatment in the community. One hundred-and fifty adolescents (38 a year) will be recruited from several inpatient and partial hospital locations. Each adolescent will receive a thorough baseline assessment to determine whether they are appropriate for the study and will be assigned to either the Intensive CBT condition or treatment within the community. Both groups of teens will receive follow-up assessments at 6, 12, and 18 months to identify how they are doing over time.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|12 Years to 18 Years

JAY–Whitney Bernier poked home a loose puck on the left side of the net with 7:49 remaining to complete North Country's 3-2 come from behind win over Middlebury in girl's hockey action on Saturday evening.
The Falcons were not at full strength for the contest as multiple players were absent, most notably defenseman Emily Doty, who was attending a school-related function.
Doty's absence forced coach Claude Paul to move some players around, but the coach was able to mix and match with success and the team moved their record to 1-1.
NEWPORT–Two games, two completely different outcomes for the UCA boy's and girl's basketball teams on Saturday afternoon as they squared off against Concord at the Newport Elementary School.
In the opening game, the Wildcat girls took control early and never let up, winning decisively 38-13.
In the second game, the roles were reversed, and it was UCA administering the punishment as they handed their foes a very one-sided 64-22 loss.
Starting with the girl's game, Concord scored early and often in the first quarter racking up twelve points to UCA's two.
ORLEANS–Lake Region got their 2012-2013 campaign off to a great start, defeating Lyndon Institute 61-53 to move to 1-0 on the season.
"We knew coming in that this was going to be one of the top teams we face this season," said head coach James Ingalls. "One through five, they have a very quick team and my guys knew they would have to play a ball game to be in this game and take it, and they did."
Play got going with LI's Kyle Cipollone hitting two from the charity stripe, followed by LR's Dennis Newland's bucket, then another two form the line by Cipollone.
JAY – Guests coming to Jay Peak Resort now are traveling from far and wide to see what the buzz is all about. If travelers happen to forget to bring something they need, no problem. Or if guests want to shop for souvenirs, clothing, or even food, they don't have to travel further than the resort.
The new Vermont country store, called Provisions General Store, just opened on the mountain.
NEWPORT – Orleans County Side Judges Ben Batcheldor and Robert Goodby held the first of two informational meetings yesterday for the public to review the little-known county budget, which funds the courthouse and sheriff's department.
An increase of $50,000 over the current year's budget is driven primarily by an appropriation of $75,000 for the replacement of the slate roof, which is over 100 years old. In the current year's budget, $40,000 was appropriated and the new appropriation is expected to cover the cost of replacing the roof in 2013.
NEWPORT CITY – Last Friday, Judge Howard VanBenthuysen handed down a 10-15 year sentence, all suspended, with the exception of six years to serve, to Deontae McNeil, 23, of Putnam, CT.
McNeil's accomplice, Andrew Ladouceur, 26, of Derby, entered a guilty plea Oct. 20, 2011, to a charge of attempted burglary of an occupied dwelling. He is currently serving 4 -10 years with credit for time served. The state dismissed charges of aggravated assault, first degree unlawful restraint and attempted assault and robbery with a weapon.
CRAFTSBURY–Chris DeLaBruere's game winning three pointer with twenty-seven seconds left to play was the difference as UCA picked up their second win over Craftsbury, defeating the Chargers 51-48 in a very exciting D-IV match-up.
"I knew that the shot had to be made, and I took it upon myself to make it because I had been shooting hot tonight and I got lucky," said DeLaBruere
CRAFTSBURY–In the second meeting of the season between the UCA and Craftsbury girl's basketball teams, the Chargers once again flexed their muscle, defeating the Crusaders 49-24.
"We have been working on playing as a team to get everybody used to each other, and that was what was working for us tonight," said Craftsbury's Sarah Dunbar.
Much like the first go around, the opening quarter was a fairly close affair.
Janet Bohannon opened the scoring, making one basket followed by two more from the line.
