The experience of beginning kindergarten is a big step for both children and parents. Getting ready for that first big day can be stress-free and fun, particularly when you take into account the power of play and the excitement that can be shared. Dr. Roni Leiderman, associate dean of the Family Center at Nova Southeastern University in Florida, has these tips for parents.
Take your child to her new school to meet her teacher and see the classroom. Many schools have open days where you can visit and play in the room before the beginning of the school year. Take advantage of this time to acclimate your child to her new environment.
Familiarize her with the centers in the classroom. Paint a picture together, roll out clay snakes, and read a book in the library corner. Visit the lunch room, the bathroom, the playground and the bus stop. At home, read books and watch videos about children starting school. If you know of another child who will be in the same class, arrange a it so your child has a friend to greet that first day.
With busy schedules and timetables to keep, the early hours of making the bus or driving through traffic can be a challenge. Develop a morning routine in advance of the first day. Allow your child to make choices. Would she like oatmeal or toast and fruit for breakfast? Would she like to wear her blue shirt or her red one? Go shopping for school supplies and let your child choose her new backpack and lunch box. Giving her appropriate control encourages and supports her independence. It also helps thwart those early morning power struggles and creates a calm and happy way to say good-bye each day.
Take advantage of your five-year-old's playfulness. In the weeks before school starts, engage in role-plays about attending school. Practice saying goodbye, having lunch in the cafeteria, taking turns, and being the teacher. Talk with your child, read her cues, encourage her efforts, and be patient. Celebrate this meaningful step as your child begins kindergarten and enters a new world of friendships, learning and independence.

Remarkable speed and direct photo printing.The Canon PIXMA™ iP3000 Photo Printer delivers speed, quality and convenience in a stylish package. How fast is it? It produces up to 22 ppm in black and up to 15 ppm in color and a beautiful 4" x 6" borderless print takes only 36 seconds1. Plus, you have the convenience of direct photo printing: simply connect any PictBridge compatible digital camera or DV camcorder, and print! This PC-free process eliminates the need to be tied to your computer saving you time.
But the PIXMA iP3000 Photo Printer isn't just fast. It also achieves impressive detail and clarity, as a result of Canon Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering (FINE). This technology features an upgraded 1,600-nozzle print head that ejects precise, consistent droplets as small as 2 picoliters, for amazing photo-realism. This high-efficiency printer also uses a specially formulated black ink for laser-like text on reports and letters, along with high-intensity color inks for brilliant photos and graphics. Your borderless photos, from 4 x 6 up to 8.5 x 11 in., will have the look and feel of traditional photographs.
Canon Think Tank System.To help reduce printing costs2, this efficient system has four individual ink tanks that let you replace only the color that runs out, rather than an entire cartridge containing unused ink. Plus, a unique low-ink sensor alerts you when ink levels are low, so you are prepared to just drop in a new tank when needed.
1 PPM print speeds are based on the highest speed printer driver mode. Photo print speed based on maximum print speed using Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy. Print speed will vary based on system configuration, software, document complexity, print mode and page coverage.2 Will vary based on composition of images/documents printed.

Enthusiasts were crammed shoulder to shoulder in the Dulles State Office Building on Saturday to taste of some of the north countrys best chili.
At this years North Country Chili Cook-Off, 34 teams of professional and amateur chefs showed off their best dishes to benefit the Volunteer Transportation Center.
One of the newcomers this year was the Fort Drum Culinary Team, which prepared pulled pork chili overnight for the cook-off.
And Sgt. Ryan T. Woolman and Sgt. Micah W. McKamies chili made using more than 12 ingredients, including 15 pounds of pulled pork, black and kidney beans, chipotle, habanero, onions, wine and duck bacon was selling out fast.
Sgt. McKamie said he had been handing out a cup of chili every minute, even before the expected afternoon crowd.
A veteran team that had participated since the inaugural cook-off, the Winemaker, prepared 17 gallons of chili and was expecting it to be gone by 2 p.m.
The 14th annual cook-off was held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The winter fundraiser normally attracts between 2,500 and 3,000 people.
Teammates Joseph Hulbert and J. Peter Hludzenski, owner of the Winemaker, Watertown, said they used cabernet sauvignon instead of merlot this year to prepare their chili made with beef, veal, pork and many other ingredients.
We do it because we like it, Mr. Hludzenski said. Yeah, its fun to win, too. But thats not important.
The Jefferson County American Legion Auxiliary-hosted event raised $43,000 for the Volunteer Transportation Center, an organization, Mr. Hludzenski said, that provides an invaluable service to elders and veterans in the community.
To Jeanette A. Turner and Team Linda, the event was a tribute to the late Linda J. Welsh, former deputy director of the Volunteer Transportation Center who died of cancer.
As Team Linda, we plan on doing a lot of charity work to carry on her legacy, said Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Welshs cousin.
Cook-off winners were:
n Professional first, Spicy Wench Chili from Black River Valley Club; second, Samaritan Heat from Samaritan Medical Center; third, Ponderosa Pulled Pork Chili from Little Barn Bulk Foods.
n Amateur first, Advanced Business Systems; second, Chili Bistro from The Winemaker; third, Childrens Home of Jefferson County.
n Vegetarian Very Vegan Chili Verde from Watertown Elks Lodge 496.
n Novelty Best Dressed, DeVitos Catering; Best Decorated, DeVitos Catering; Most Unusual Recipe, North Country Childrens Clinic; Most Congenial, Team Linda.
n Peoples choice first, Advanced Business Systems; second, Cold? Well, Eat Chili! from Coldwell Banker Realty.

Coagulation and Fibrinolysis in Pediatric Insulin Titration Trial (CAF-PINT)

- How to Read a Study Record
Project Summary We propose an ancillary study to The Heart and Lung Failure Pediatric Insulin Titration trial (HALF PINT), which is investigating the impact of normalizing blood glucose using insulin infusions on clinical outcomes among children with hyperglycemia and heart and lung failure. In this ancillary study, we will measure plasma levels of inflammatory, coagulation, and fibrinolysis proteins and genotype DNA for polymorphisms among patients enrolled in the HALF PINT trial. The results from this ancillary study will help us to understand potential mechanisms through which normalizing blood glucose provides benefit, which may lead to development of new therapeutic strategies in critically ill children

Patients with Heart failure or Respiratory Failure with Hyperglycemia
Detailed Description:
ABSTRACT Hyperglycemia occurs frequently among critically ill children and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Approximately 25% of critically ill children with heart and lung failure (i.e., those receiving mechanical ventilation and/or inotropes) develop hyperglycemia within 24 hours of admission, and if the hyperglycemia is sustained (lasting for > 50% of PICU stay), it results in a 6-fold increase in the odds of mortality. Previous studies have demonstrated that tight glycemic control with insulin, aimed at achieving normoglycemia (TGC-NL) can result in improvement in mortality and morbidity in selected groups of critically ill patients with hyperglycemia. However, the precise mechanism by which TGC-NL leads to improvement in morbidity and mortality is not known. Hyperglycemia is known to result in a pro-thrombotic state via activation of coagulation and impairment of fibrinolysis. This pro-thrombotic, anti-fibrinolytic state, may lead to intravascular fibrin deposition and micro thrombi, which can be a key contributor to the pathogenesis of multi-organ failure. We propose to take advantage of The Heart and Lung Failure Pediatric Insulin Titration trial (HALF PINT) - an NHLBI-funded randomized, controlled trial designed to study the impact of TGC-NL on clinical outcomes among children with heart and lung failure - to investigate the effect of TGC-NL on inflammation, fibrinolysis, and coagulation and to determine the extent to which improvement in deranged coagulation and fibrinolysis by TGC-NL contributes to improvement in clinical outcomes. We propose to enroll 800 critically ill patients with hyperglycemia and heart and lung failure from the HALF PINT study. Since the parent trial will not collect any blood samples other than for confirmation of blood glucose, we will approach parents or surrogates of children enrolled in the HALF PINT trial and obtain informed consent for participation in this ancillary study. We will collect blood samples (3cc from children 2 years and younger, and 5ml from children 3 years and older) at Days 1, 3, and 5 after randomization. We will measure plasma levels of selected markers of coagulation and fibrinolysis and genotype DNA for polymorphisms in the corresponding genes. We will correlate changes over time in the biomarkers with allocation to treatment arm to test whether the beneficial effects of TGC-NL are achieved via normalization of coagulation and fibrinolysis. We will also genotype for tag SNPs in the corresponding genes and test for association of the plasma and genetic markers with clinical outcomes. The results from this study will provide mechanistic insights into the effect of TGC-NL on clinical outcome and could lead to the use of anti-inflammatory, anti-coagulant or pro-fibrinolytic agents as adjunctive therapies among select groups of critically ill children with hyperglycemia who may not be amenable to tight glucose control or are at higher risk of adverse clinical outcomes from a pro thrombotic environment. Results from this study may lead to identification of protein or genetic markers that will identify critically ill children most likely to benefit from existing anticoagulant therapies such as activated protein C.

POTSDAM - Several high schools in St. Lawrence County have gained national recognition in academic achievement.
U.S. News and World Report ranked Cantons H.C. Williams High School, Potsdam Senior High School, Colton-Pierrepont Junior-Senior High School and Ogdensburg Free Academy with silver-medal ratings for student-teacher ratios, college readiness, mathematics proficiency and English language arts proficiency.
Clifton-Fine Junior-Senior High School, Hermon-DeKalb Central School, Hammond Central School and Edwards-Knox Junior-Senior High School received bronze-medal ratings.
H.C. Williams High School in the Canton Central School District ranked the highest of the schools in the region: 55th in the state. All 1,149 high schools in the state were listed, but only the schools with gold- and silver-medal ratings were ranked.
According to the report, the school had below-average student-to-teacher ratios, above-average college readiness and above-average math and ELA proficiency.
Potsdam Senior High School ranked 76th in the state and boasted above-average levels for college readiness, math proficiency and ELA proficiency.
Were always excited to be recognized for our academic achievement, said Superintendent Patrick H. Brady. We work very hard to ensure out students graduate with the skills necessary to be successful.
He congratulated high school Principal Joann Chambers and the schools faculty, staff and students for their hard work.
According to Colton-Pierrepont Central School Superintendent Joseph A. Kardash, the school has also had a silver ranking in the past. This year, the school ranked 96th. In the report, the high school had a below-average student-to-teacher ratio and above-average ELA proficiency.
This is fabulous, Mr. Kardash said. I think were all collectively thrilled were looked upon in this light. It speaks to the dedication and pride the teachers and students have for each other.
He said the ranking cannot be obtained by applying for it.
Someone looking upon us decided we should be ranked on this, he said.

Alain Delord was marooned on a life-raft in mountainous seas about 500 nautical miles from southern Australia's Tasmania after his yacht was badly damaged in perilous weather during a solo round-the-world sailing attempt.

When I looked at an OS map of Wales, I noticed that the southern roads seemed to be making a heart around the area - with the point at Cardiff and the crease at Merthyr Tydfil. This being so, I stylised a rounded heart. There aren't any roads on there as yet and I would like to see if a river and a high peak could be incorporated.
Let me know what you think, bearing in mind it is a work in progress!
Thank you

The council's vote on proceeding with the planned skateboard park in front of Mesa Public Library was a necessary action.While it was good to see those who were concerned with the project speaking up and offering options, the option they offered – the parking lot south of the Community Building – was not a viable option.Like it or not – and most people do like it – parking is a necessary evil. If the alternative plan to look at that site had moved forward, all parking would have gone away and that just could not happen.So you are left with the library site.Granted, that is not the perfect location but where is the perfect site here? Our land is limited and no matter where the facility is built there will be problems.As Councilor Robert Gibson said, the character of the community changes and will continue to do so. We are sure there were people opposed to the location of the library when it was being built.Now, it is considered a gem. We can hope the skateboard park will be the same.A lot of work has gone into this and the county is committed to proceed with this project. The vote to proceed was a good one.We do have one problem, however – one that we have had before.

In an effort to support hundreds of Utah's community organizations, the Utah Commission on Volunteers has awarded Utah Campus Compact a grant of $150,000 to start AmeriCorps Education Award Programs at nine of Utah's institutions of higher education (eight state colleges and universities and Westminster College).
This grant allows students from Utah's campuses to help with critical community needs by providing services in the areas of education, veteran support, health, and economic opportunity.
Each year, the Utah Campus Compact AmeriCorps Program will involve over 1,200 students and generate an additional 1,200 volunteers from the community. These volunteers will contribute an amazing 500,000 community service hours each year for some of the state's neediest groups.
Utah Campus Compact is a coalition of Utah's college and university presidents and their campuses. It provides leadership to strengthen service-learning, co-curricular service, community-based research, and other civic engagement initiatives statewide. Nationally, AmeriCorps engages 80,000 Americans of all ages and backgrounds in service to meet critical needs.
Its members serve through more than 14,000 nonprofit and faith-based organizations in rural and urban communities throughout the nation.

The Starship vs. Spaceship Earth
Second, Dyson's obsession has always been the stars, not the earth: he spent many years working on the design of a spaceship (hence the title of Brower's 30-year old book) that would take him there. It's not so much that he doesn't care about our home planet — he must have learned something about 'spaceship earth' from son George over the years. Rather, he is simply very confident that we can always get off if we have to. "What the secular faith of Dysonism offers," Brower writes" is, first, a hypertrophied version of the technological fix, and second, the fantasy that, should the fix fail, we have someplace else to go." Dyson has stated in many places, and in various ways, that he thinks global warming is not a big problem, and that its importance has been exaggerated. To put things in perspective, though, Dyson doesn't particularly think that the extirpation of all life other than human would be a particularly big deal "We are moving rapidly into the post-Darwinian era, when species other than our own will no longer exist, and the rules of Open Source sharing will be extended from the exchange of software to the exchange of genes," he is quoted as saying in Brower's article. Dyson's idea of what constitutes a "big problem" may be, well, just a bit different from what most of the rest of us might have in mind.
Brower's conclusions sound right on the mark to us, but don't fully explain Dyson. Perhaps Brower is being gentle, since he is an old friend, or perhaps he simply isn't aware of it, but one issue he does not touch on in his article is is how deceptive (apparently deliberately) Dyson can be.
The problem is that Dyson says demonstrably wrong things about global warming, and doesn't seem to care so long as they support his notion of human destiny. Brower reports that Dyson doesn't consider himself an expert on climate change, has no interest in arguing the details with experts, and yet somehow knows that the experts don't have any answers worth listening to. That doesn't stop Dyson from making sweeping pronouncements, many of them so egregiously wrong that it would hardly have taken an expert to set him straight.
The examples of this are legion. In the essay "Heretical thoughts about science and society" (excerpted here) Dyson says that CO2 only acts to make cold places (like the arctic) warmer and doesn't make hot places hotter, because only cold places are dry enough for CO2 to compete with water vapor opacity. But in jumping to this conclusion, he has neglected to take into account that even in the hot tropics, the air aloft is cold and dry, so CO2 nonetheless exerts a potent warming effect there. Dyson has fallen into the same saturation fallacy that bedeviled Ångström a century earlier.
And then there are those carbon-eating trees. He likes this one so much he put it in both the Heresy essay and in his piece in NY Review of Books. He points out that the annual fossil fuel emissions of carbon correspond to a hundredth of an inch of extra biomass per year over half the Earth's surface, and suggests that it shouldn't be hard to tweak the biosphere in such a way as to sequester all the fossil fuel carbon we want to in this way. Dyson could well ask himself why we don't have kilometers-thick layers of organic carbon right now at the surface, resulting from a few billion years of outgassing of volcanic CO2. The answer is that bacteria have had about two billion years to evolve so as to get very, very good at combining any available organic carbon with oxygen. It is in fact extremely hard to put organic carbon in a form or place where it doesn't get oxidized back into CO2 (Mother Nature thought she had done that trick with fossil fuels but we sure fooled her!) And if you did somehow coopt ten to twenty percent of the worldwide biosphere's photosynthetic capacity to take up carbon and turn it into a form that couldn't rot ever, you'd have to sort of worry about how nutrients would ever get back into the ecosystem. And also maybe whether the carbon-eating trees might get out of control and suck out so much CO2 you wound up in a Snowball Earth.

The consequences of making low-interest loans to unqualified buyers created the real-estate bubble that popped in 2007, resulting in the Great Recession. According to Gary Jason at the American Thinker, it's about to happen again, only this time over student loans. He wrote: "This bubble has been fueled by the federal government's lavish subsidization of the student loan program … in a way similar to how the housing bubble was fueled by government agencies pushing subprime mortgages."
Under the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act (SAFRA) signed into law as part of ObamaCare in March of 2010, students may borrow money directly from the federal government regardless of their credit score or any other financial "issues" they may be facing. They are not priced according to any "individualized measure of risk" nor are there loan limits. They are instead politically determined by Congress with undergraduates receiving lower interest rates than graduate students, but graduate students allowed to borrow more than undergrads.
This forced entry by the government into what was once a private market transaction has numerous consequences, nearly all of them negative, and most of them predictable.
First, private lenders disappeared from the market as they could not compete with taxpayer funds and taxpayer guarantees and the resulting below-market interest rates that became available.
Second, the growth in the education industry expanded far beyond what was normal as college administrations saw their opportunity to dip into the "honey bucket" of federal funds, with the consequent growth in administration overhead and higher tuition fees. According to a study by Bain & Company (yes, Mitt Romney's Bain), "operating expenses are getting higher [at major colleges and universities like Cornell, Harvard and Princeton] and they're running out of cash to cover it." According to that study, the growth in those colleges' debt and rate of spending on new buildings and equipment rose far faster than did their spending on actual education itself. Said Bain, "Boards of trustees and presidents need to put their collective foot down on the growth of support and maintenance costs. In no other industry would overhead costs be allowed to grow at this rate — executives would lose their jobs."

Johan Spanner/Polaris, for The New York Times

Editorial contends widespread support that Iraqi Prime Min Haider al-Abadi has won for his plan to overhaul country's government represents positive step forward for divisive nation, but cautions against inflaming sectarian tensions; notes reform requires cutting several Sunni posts and urges Abadi to find ways for Sunnis to have meaningful role in government; argues consensus-building is necessary to minimize Islamic State and keep former Prime Min Nuri Kamal al-Maliki from taking advantage of unstable situation.

Twenty-six-year-old Aaron Swartz, a software prodigy and an Internet freedom activist, was found dead in his New York City apartment on Friday from an apparent suicide by hanging.
Swartz (pictured) had a brilliant mind and an activist's spirit that led him to create numerous breakthroughs in technology that allow Internet users to enjoy a more robust experience. At age 14 Swartz helped develop the protocol for RSS – "Rich Site Summary" or informally called "Really Simple Syndication" — which nearly every Internet user unknowingly uses when he accesses news sources and audio and video sites which are updated frequently.
At age 18 he entered Stanford University but dropped out after the first year and instead directed his energies and prodigious talent towards founding the software company Infogami which merged into Reddit in November 2005. He cashed out after Reddit was purchased by Conde Nast Publications, owners of Wired magazine, in January 2007. He continued working on Internet projects and first became noted for his activism when, in 2008, he downloaded about one-fifth of the database from PACER, the enormous collection of U.S. federal court documents known as Public Access to Court Electronic Records, to make those files available for free to the public.
Swartz worked closely with Carl Malamud, the founder of Public.resource.org, who contended that the PACER files should be available for free because, first of all, they weren't subject to copyright law and second, PACER charged a fee for the privilege even though the records were in the public domain. Swartz wrote his own program and, using a computer at the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals library in Chicago, proceeded to download approximately 18 million documents and send them over to Malamud's website. Swartz later learned, after filing a Freedom of Information request, that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had looked into his actions but had dropped the investigation after a couple of months.
But he remained determined to promote the freedom of the Internet as he saw it. He supported the Open Access Movement, where scholars could gain unrestricted access to peer-reviewed journals for free. He wrote,

I've been developing my first php sites as a freelancer and have a slight payment problem. I would like to give the client the site, as more work is promised, but I'm not over convinced he's going to pay!
I want to build a back door that will allow me to delete the database tables. Probably not ethical, but neither is not paying!
Only the admin area has a log in (htaccess) which can clearly be changed denying me access.
Can anyone please suggest the best method. Something that would not be noticable looking at the code (although they are not programmers), not make the site vunerable to attack from others until the point comes when I can remove it (when they have paid)
But grateful for suggestions[/quote]

WITT TELLS PB: "I WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM"Dman takes critiques of D system even further
Updated at 2:30 pm at bottom with (hardly any) news from the morning skate
10:30 am – "I don't want to be traded," Brendan Witt told Point Blank just 15 minutes ago in an interview in which he never backed down from his comments in today's Newsday. "I want to fix the problem."
In Newsday, the veteran defenseman criticizes coach Scott Gordon's defensive structure: "Personally, I think it's more of a risky type of game," Witt tells Greg Logan. "There's a lot of odd-man rushes. But that's the way he wants us to play, and until he decides he wants to change that, we're going to play that way."
As you'd expect from the hard-charging Witt, he did not back down when I spoke with him this morning.
"I've talked to Scott about it a lot. I've kept it internal for a long time," Witt said from his Minnesota hotel room. "I was just answering Greg's questions honestly."
Witt continued: "My opinions I've shared with Scott is that there's times in the game when we shouldn't play the system. You don't see any other teams in the NHL playing this way for a straight 60 minutes. It's a very hard system. It's like telling a sprinter to keep running at that pace for 60 minutes."
When I told Witt that his comments will give the perception that he wants off the Island, he was demonstrative in saying he wants to stay and "fix the problem."
"If I didn't want to stay with the Islanders, I wouldn't have signed the contract extension this summer (through 2010-11). I love it here. I just want to win. I don't want to win just 20 games and be happy about it."
Later on, he pounded home his message.
"When I talk to Scott about changing it up, his feeling is the system will work but that we haven't executed it," said Witt. "But my feeling is, if you want to win, you install a system that works best for the players you currently have."
Ladies and gentlemen, we have our first full-blown controversy of the season. Newsday even traced its story on the back cover over a beautiful blue sky in their photo of C.C. and A.J. at the new Yankee Stadium. It says, "ISLES CONTROVERSY: Witt blames Gordon for defensive woes."
The justification for the hoopla is that it's Brendan Witt talking. Witt signed a two-year contract extension with the Islanders when he knew Ted Nolan was going to be gone (the dman was not a fan of the ex-coach), but before Gordon was even interviewed. Witt happily signed up for the Islanders and Long Island, but obviously not for fire wagon hockey.
His comments to Greg Logan came on the heels of a minus-5 outing against Washington on Tuesday. To us this morning Witt said, "I had a bad night and was minus-5, but I look at those goals and there isn't anything I would have done differently."
Whenever you install a new system, there are casualties from the group of holdover players. (A scout at the Coliseum told me two weeks ago, "Mark Streit is the only dman suited to playing Gordon's system. Maybe Campoli, too.") The question now is whether the Islanders move Witt to another NHL team for fair value, and whether they can.
If Witt had not signed the extension through 2010-11 – even at a reasonable $3 mill a year – he would be much easier to trade. Compound the remaining two years on his deal with the perception of his unhappiness, and Garth Snow may no longer be in position to demand a good price.
If Logan's blog entry from today's 12:30 pm EST skate in Minnesota isn't about Witt and Gordon hugging it out – and the coach saying all the right things about his respected defenseman – the hole only gets deeper.
2:30 pm: Hiding behind the excuse that he hadn't communicated with the scratched players yet, Scott Gordon did not provide lineup details to Greg Logan and the Islanders broadcasters after the morning skate in Minnesota.
What we know for sure is Comrie and Okposo are in. No word on their linemates, or who is out.
Three players were excused from the skate: Doug Weight, Joey MacDonald and, wait for it…Brendan Witt.
Rick DiPietro was on the ice for 40 minutes.

If you give a man a fire he'll be warm, if you light the man on fire he'll be warm for life.
