Burning calories
I want to burn a minimim of 500 calories per work out.
On days I can't get to the gym, is there a way to calculate calories burned when biking, walking or running outdoors or using a stationary bike (that does not have a calorie counter)? Or when doing Yoga or pilates or any other dvd based workout?
Wed. Feb 8, 12:53am
What is the formula? In terms of heart rate?
Wednesday, February 08, 2006, 1:21 AM
some pedometers will calculate calories burned.. there are also numerous websites with calculators. I use this on
Wednesday, February 08, 2006, 6:47 AM
I recently got a heart-rate monitor and it is fabulous. In most cases, on-line calculators have been fairly close to my actual calorie burn, but not exact. Your age, height, weight and heart rate are all factors.
I have found as a very, very general guideline that if I use a 1-10 rating scale, it's actually close to how many calories I am burning per minute. For example, laying down stretching is like a 1 (easy) and only burns like 1 calorie per minute. Walking briskly is around a 5 (I'm moderately challenged) and burns about 5 calories per minute. Sprinting or jumping rope is going all out at a 10, and can burn up to 10 calories or more per minute.

hard time dealing
I would appreciate some insight and advice in the situation I am in.
I met this guy last summer at the time he was seeing someone it didn't seem very serious and it didn't last. before that he had ended a 3 yr toxic relationship in Feb. We started spending time with each other in Nov.We bonded instantly it was like nothing I have ever experienced and it felt amazing. I realized very fast that he is the type of person I want to be with. I could tell he felt the same way about me by the way he acted and talked to me. He would talk to me about our future together and make planes long term planes like bringing me to his family reunion which is a big deal in his family because if you introduce your girlfriend to them it means that you are gonna be around for a long time. He would always tell me how he wants to retire and how he wants me to be by his side. He told me that this is the first serious relationship he has been in even though he has been in long term relationships before he was never in that mind set and he can see us together for a long time. He was the one who brought up kids and marriage and everything in-between that is important and what we both want in a relationship. He asked me out after only a few weeks of knowing each other. We were on the she page about everything.
He told me that I was getting too clingy and it was pushing him away. i told him that I had no idea and I would step back and give him space. After we discussed it more he was glad that he talked to me about it. Then a week later he tells me that he feels he does not deserve to be with someone like me, so nice and sweet and amazing. He wants to take time to wk on some personal issues and becoming a better person so one day he can be in a relationship he deserves with me or someone else and wants to become good friends during this time. He still wants me to be in his life. He feels that at this time in his life he is not able to give me the attention that I deserve because he is going for a promotion and is working all kinds of odd hrs. He told me that when he is not with me he gets these thoughts and he doesn't want to hurt me. He told me that he can see himself marrying me. He really wants to work on becoming good friends until he has things figured out and when that day come he we will be together. he doesn't want me to wait around for him because its wrong to ask that of anyone. He will not be looking for a relationship with other girls. He kept reassuring me that this is a good thing. That a wise man once said a great marriage starts with a great friendship. i told him that i don't know how to handle this situation because this has never happened he told me he is breaking up with me, its what he need to do. he told me not to convince him otherwise and i told him i don't want to. he said that we are not going to talk about this for a while because it is hurts.
i don't know what to think about this. About two weeks ago we had sex for the first and only time. Does he just need space? Is he that good of a player? is he just making up a bogus cop out story? If he is telling the truth how long will this self discovery thing stake and when will we start becoming friends like he said? i feel miserable and the funny part is that we have only known each other a few months i don't get why I'm so blah about all this or how to bounce back to my old happy self. Every time I thing about thisI get knots in my stomach and can feel the waterworks coming on.

walk away and don't look back!
the boy is a PLAYAH!! and you deserve so much better than that. c'mon now, all those mixed messages! you know it's true... he BROKE UP WITH YOU.
I know you don't want to believe it, and think the worst (deep down, I suspect you already know)... I'm sorry you are hurt. But you need to do yourself a favor, and cut your ties clean. No contact. Move forward. Move along now.
Let the men chase you for a change. You deserved to be adored with no bulls%#t crap stories that this immature little boy is telling you... he is your EX for a reason, let it go, learn from this experience. Move on now.
Tuesday, February 28, 2012, 2:35 PM
So sorry for your broken heart. It's happened to all of us most likely. While I'm not a Dear Abby, I would definitely be honest with him and let him know that you love him, right? But that this scenario is too painful for you, and you will not be seeing him either. Don't give him any timelines or ultimatums. Do not sleep with him during this time. (Take a deep breath) You will also be taking some time for self reflection and personal growth. And do just that; grieve, cry as much as you need to in private or with very trusted good friend. And then go and have as much fun as you can. Try and stay active. Get in touch with those women friends who you probably put on hold while you were in this new love stage. These women are very important. Honor their words, see if they ring true for you, keep in mind they will have things in their lives that they will want to share with you which may or may not have to do with relationships. If it's meant to be, he will contact you at a later time. Then go slow.
Tuesday, February 28, 2012, 3:12 PM
Whatever his issue is, he has them, and you won't fix them. If you stay with him, you'll go crazy. Go see a counsellor- if you think he's what you want, you're looking for drama instead of reality.
When a man says he doesn't want to date you now, that really means he doesn't want to date you. The rest he's saying to make you feel better, or keep you around to satisfy whatever itch you scratch- be it sex, ego feed, shoulder to cry on, whatever.
Whatever 'relationship' you have, will always be about him. Always. Throw yourself after him if you want (you seem determined to do so), but you won't actually find happiness with him.
Tuesday, February 28, 2012, 11:23 PM
there are plenty of fish in the sea
what is the story you want to tell yourself?
start being that person who only gives her time and attention to genuine loving sincere relationships that don't make her feel sad, lonely and rejected, and that don't make her burst into tears.
a previous poster mentions telling him you love him. I think that is the worst thing you could do! he already knows you love him, you've already told him that enough. why even deal with him? you don't need closure, he already broke up with you. he is counting on you to keep coming back to stroke that ego of his. don't give him the satisfaction. you are much stronger than that.
I wish for you to have the strength to distance yourself from anyone that doesn't appreciate you.
It sounds to me like you have very low self esteem to let a man treat you like this. You deserve more. Love yourself. Have some dignity and self respect.
He is not the only man that will ever tell you he loves you. HONEST!! Trust me on this one.
Now go out there and be AMAZING!! Your heart will heal, and it will get better. ((hugs))
Wednesday, February 29, 2012, 8:04 AM
sorry you are having somuch pain. nomatter who says they have been there or there are so many other options out there it does not make you feel better or solve your problem. Love is so awesome it is the one true thing inl ife. I always say love shouldnot hurt or feel unkind betrayed or mean... if this is the discription of the one youare supoosedly loved by then in my eyes its not love. You are deserving of a commitment andhonesty and most of all love. Its a good thing and even though there may will be disappointments and down days in a relationship it should never be mean or hurtful or deliberatly meant to play head games.Dont second guess your gut! It moreoften can lead you even over your heart which can get fooled when its been wounded or deceived.
I wish you much peace at this tough time

This right here is 100% PLAYER behavior. It was all a con on his part, right from the beginning. You're a good, sincere person and he isn't. Walk away, do not have further contact.
Wednesday, February 29, 2012, 11:58 AM
I'm sorry it hurts but like everyone else is saying, don't have contact with him, cut all ties and move on. He will only continue to hurt and confuse you if you allow any contact with him. He is NOT a real friend. Get out there with your girlfriends and let them soothe you. Go have fun and forget about this loser who has no problem hurting you. While you're out there being active, having fun, taking care of yourself and being TRUE to yourself, the right guy, who is *ready* for a relationship will find you and you will be glad you had this learning experience so you could differentiate between good and bad guys. I wish you the best of luck. I have been there, done that, and now I am married to the sweetest, nicest guy I have ever met. I wish you the same luck.

Five years after the fall of Lehman Brothers and the impact of TARP, investors now find themselves in a far more comfortable position with regards to financial stocks. However, banking on the sector still requires a keen understanding of the risks that exist.
But with a lucid view, investors at either end of the trading spectrum (long-term or short-term) could find that some small-cap banks are worth a look.
With a market cap range between $794.6 million and $1.8 billion, we have identified five small-cap banks - all based in Texas, save one - that should be considered when analyzing the small-cap bank sector. These are: BancFirst Corporation (NASDAQ:BANF), Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:TCBI), First Financial Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:FFIN), ViewPoint Financial Group (VPFG) and International Bancshares, Corp. (NASDAQ:IBOC).
(Click to enlarge. Sourced from Zacks Investment Research.)
BancFirst Corporation
Oklahoma City-based BancFirst Corporation is a good launching point for a number of reasons. The 52-week share price has bounced from a low of $39.13 to a high of $56.19, with a current P/E ratio of 16. Its debt ratio, or leverage, is also the lowest of the five stocks at 6.43%.
The only bank headquartered outside of Texas in our small-cap look, BancFirst Corp. has seen its annual diluted normalized EPS increase from 2.08 at the end of 2009 to 2.69 at the end of 2010 versus 2009. Then, diluted normalized EPS increased from 2010's 2.69 to 2.93 in 2011. And from 2011 to 2012, the EPS increased from 2.93 to 3.34. BancFirst's current EPS is 3.37.
Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc.
Texas Capital Bancshares has seen steady and consistent deposit growth since the second quarter of 2011. At that time, deposits stood at $5.48 billion. Jump to the second quarter of 2013 and Texas Capital Bancshares' deposits totaled $8.06 billion. We caution, however, that Texas Capital Bancshares' debt ratio is 59.56%.
Texas Capital Bancshares does not offer a dividend yield but with a current EPS of 2.87, it is a solid small-cap bank play that's worth evaluating. Diluted normalized EPS increased from 0.55 at the end of 2009 to 1 at the end of 2010. Then, diluted normalized EPS increased from 2010's 1 in 2010 to 1.99 in 2011. And from 2011 to 2012, the EPS increased from 1.99 to 3.07.
First Financial Bankshares, Inc.
If you are interested in investing in the American residential real estate story, First Financial Bankshares may be your play. The bank's 1-4 Family First Liens loan amount of $657,454,000 accounts for 25.40% of its loan portfolio.
First Financial also leads our group in terms of one year return:
(Click to enlarge. Sourced from Zacks Investment Research.)
First Financial Bankshares' most recent annual EPS is 2.41, with a current share price of around $58. The stock has rocketed from a 52-week low of $34.66 to its current share price - along the way, reaching $63.99 at one point over the summer.
The stock's diluted normalized EPS increased from 1.72 at the end of 2009 to 1.86 at the end of 2010. Then, diluted normalized EPS increased from 2010's 1.86 to 2.17 in 2011. And from 2011 to 2012, the EPS increased from 2.17 to 2.36. While EPS is a standard metric, here we suggest that investors also consider the institution's Tier 1 Capital and its Ratio.
ViewPoint Financial Group
ViewPoint Financial Group leads this pack of small-cap banks with a Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 11.76. For longer-term investors, who have a larger appetite for risk, consider that its commercial real estate loans far outstrip its loan amounts of 1-4 Family First Liens. ViewPoint Financial's current portfolio is seen in the chart below. As such, ViewPoint Financial's debt ratio is the highest of the five small caps at around 60%.
ViewPoint Financial's current stats include a P/E ratio 20.37, 52-week range of $17.88 to $22.49 per share, and an EPS of 1.01. Again, while we caution that commercial real estate dominates the loan portfolio, the spread between the 52-week low and high of this stock is a potential indicator that Wall Street is well aware of the risks, as the share price, unlike other stocks in our small-cap bank survey, has not increased as much.
International Bancshares Corp.
For small-cap banking sector investors who look to Tier 1 Capital, International Bancshares Corp., leads the way in dollar amounts, with, $1.17 billion. But what should probably stand out the most for investors is the diversity of International Bancshares' loan portfolio - the bank has substantial commercial and industrial loans, with 19.23% devoted to vertical growth.
IBOC's EPS is 1.48, its P/E ratio is 14.61 and its debt ratio is 40.3%. At a current price of over $21, with a 52-week high of $25.85, the stock has room for growth, should development in the Texas area continue as anticipated.
Whether long-term or short-term, small-cap banks such as these offer investors across the spectrum of strategies a range of potential opportunities.

Personal Coping Skills & Strategies
For many people on the autism spectrum, anxiety can be a barrier to learning and to enjoying every day experiences. This seminar will support parents, carers and professionals to understand the issues relating to anxiety and anxiety management.
We will provide an overview that will help give a context for understanding how and why anxiety affects people on the spectrum. Supportive strategies and approaches will be explored by presenting real life case studies of individuals across the spectrum and age range.
There are currently no events scheduled. Please check back soon.
Thinking about Independence
Supporting individuals with autism to acquire and develop skills for independent living can be a challenge for many parents and carers of people on the spectrum. This seminar will explore some of the reasons why learning, retaining and using daily living skills can, for some, be very problematic.
Scottish Autism staff will combine sound autism knowledge and their direct experience to provide delegates with examples of practical strategies that enable both children and adults to develop these vital skills that many of us take for granted.
There are currently no events scheduled. Please check back soon.
Relationships & Sexual Health
Relationships of all kinds can be fraught with complexity for people on the spectrum. Friendships, working and intimate relationships all demand an understanding of self as well as the potential impact you may have on another person.
In this seminar, we will explore this most fundamental but highly challenging aspect of human development. We will present a variety of approaches and case studies which consider the key issues for individuals across the spectrum and at various ages and stages of development. Our aim is to provide a supportive environment where together we can explore and discuss this sensitive topic.
There are currently no events scheduled. Please check back soon.

In "Running for President," Mark Twain writes sardonically of the American political process which consists largely of investigating political candidates for the purpose of finding weaknesses or scandals in their past in order to defeat them in an election. In doing so, he takes the approach of reductum ad absurdum, i.e. taking the argument to absurd lengths, and verbally sketches a brilliant political cartoon whose imagery reduces the reader to wry chuckles of recognition. .
Twain starts his essay with the announcement: "I have pretty much made up my mind to run for president." (80 Readings p.225) He then proceeds to argue that he is the best candidate because he has and will disclose all his weaknesses so that no derogatory revelations can come to light. One by one, the skeletons in his closet are paraded before the reader in their most exaggerated form. He first admits to attempted murder and inhumanity, writing that he has forced his old, rheumatic grandfather at gunpoint, to climb up a tree and stay there throughout a long winter's night. Moreover, he claims that he would do it again if he had another grandfather, proof that he is not pleading any false remorse. Twain then speaks of his cowardice, telling of how he ran away at the battle of Gettysburg because he was scared. He says that "I wanted my country saved, but I preferred to have somebody else save it." Again, there is no fake expression of remorse. Instead he says, "I entertain that preference yet." Twain continues and confesses to his avarice, admitting that his philosophy towards money is to "take any kind I can get." Further, he confesses to greed coupled with insensitivity, for when his aunt dies, he buries her under his vines so she can fertilize them. He argues that this does not disqualify him from office because "[no] other citizen was ever considered unworthy of this office because he enriched his grapevines with his dead relatives.

Firefighters and their families must have access to counseling and psychological support.Initiative 13 means that firefighters and EMS professionals and their families must have the resources to deal with the various complications that their jobs can bring to their lives, especially issues regarding emotional and psychological stress. They must also have help available to deal with the problems in living that all of us sometimes face, regardless of the work we do, especially regarding family, finances or even drug and alcohol issues. Health and safety standards (like the NFPA 1500 Standard on Firefighter Health and Safety) require that assistance programs be made available to ensure that such services are there when needed.

Things to Consider:
- Calling them today.
- Asking how they are doing after that call.
- Grabbing a cup of coffee with them after your shift.

Inside Initiative 13
New Model for Exposure to Potentially Traumatic EventsUnderstanding the new model for Initiative 13 dealing with firefighter behavioral health begins with an overview of the Protocol for Exposure to Occupational Stress. At the heart of the following flow chart or model is an understanding that firefighters and EMTs do not all respond similarly to traumatic events-thus, we have adopted the practice of calling them potentially traumatic events (PTEs). What's different about firefighters and other first responders and why understanding their occupational stress is critical has to do with the "unfortunate regularity" of these workers to horrible, dangerous and stressful situations. The model and accompanying notes explain the components of determining who is impacted and who may need assistance. It recommends the use of the Trauma Screen Questionnaire as a widely accessible tool for individuals to understand if they are in need of behavioral assistance. » Recommended Protocol: Occupational Stress Exposure » Trauma Screening Questionnaire (TSQ)
From Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) to Behavioral Health Assistance Programs (BHAP)Firefighters and EMS personnel have chosen careers that can sometimes magnify the stresses, strains and issues in living that all of us face. Those careers can also add additional layers of stress and demand due to the nature of the work involved and the conditions, schedules and circumstances under which the work is done. The need for work/life assistance programs is therefore a critical part of both occupational health and wellness programming and an essential feature in any employee benefit package. Often fire departments are confused as to the type of behavioral health assistance they should offer. Likewise, many EAP providers are not familiar with the fire service and therefore do not know what help they should market to first responder organizations. The guide From EAP to BHAP will help both fire departments and providers craft solutions that will best serve their firefighters and EMS professionals.
- From Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) to Behavioral Health Assistance Programs (BHAP)
- NFPA 1500 - Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program
Depression & Suicide in the Fire ServiceIncreased attention to suicides among firefighters has led to a strong sense of urgency among many fire service organizations, and a heightened desire to take strong and immediate preventive action. However, up until this point there has been very little in the way of strong evidence to shape those responses or guide responsible action. As a first step in coordinating industry-wide efforts to address this issue, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) convened a summit meeting July 11-12, 2011 in Baltimore, Maryland to discuss Issues of Depression and Suicide in the Fire Service. The NFFF, as a part of its Firefighter Life Safety Initiative 13 of the Everyone Goes Home® project, has been at the forefront in developing a consensus-driven agenda to focus efforts and resources to address the behavioral health needs of firefighters and their families.

As part of its commitment to bringing the best resources available to Initiative 13, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) brought leading experts in employee assistance research and practice together with representatives of major fire service constituency organizations to determine the best practices, approaches and standards of care currently available, and to develop ways to ensure that firefighters and their families could have ready access to cost-effective and clinically efficacious assistance. Among the products of that three-year effort were revisions to NFPA 1500 with respect to behavioral health assistance programs (now referred to as BHAPs) and occupational exposure to atypically stressful events (formerly referred to as "critical incident stress programs"). Based on input from researchers, practitioners, fire departments and fire service organizations, the new standards are designed to help fire departments clearly specify the services their members need through these programs; the levels and standards of care they should expect; and provide a framework for evaluating proposals and programs to determine the best for their agencies. The Firefighter Life Safety Initiative 13 effort also developed a number of resource programs to assist providers of behavioral health care in acquiring the latest in evidence-supported best practice skills through easily accessible, low-cost products developed by leading research and training programs in behavioral sciences and behavioral health. Working in concert, this will allow departments and their providers to ensure that firefighters and their families receive the best care and assistance at the lowest possible cost.

- Who responds to a firefighter's worst day? - Sometimes what we witness during a call hits too close to home or the pressures of life outside the firehouse seem insurmountable. Before we know it, the walls we've established to protect ourselves emotionally begin to crack. We're often the last to notice. But if they aren't shored up, those walls might come crashing down.
- Florida State University Partners with NFFF Conduct National Survey on the Firefighter Behavioral Health - Current or retired firefighter?

Foster Care Parent Spotlight: Juana Sanchez
The Children's Aid Society finds homes for more than 500 children each year. Our foster care program provides specialized services including Family Foster Care, Medical Foster Care, Therapeutic Foster Careand services for teens "aging out" of foster care. The Foster Care parents who work with The Children's Aid Society open up their hearts and their homes to help children in need of a loving and stable environment where they are able to thrive. In observance of National Foster Care Month, The Children's Aid Society is sharing this spotlight on Juana Sanchez.
By keeping siblings together Juana Sanchez is making a new family for herself and creating a chance for a brighter future for the group of five she has cared for over the last five years. On February 6, 2006, Ms. Sanchez opened her home to four siblings, one of whom was born with a congenital abnormality and required a high level of care. The night the children were placed with her was also the birthday of one of the girls. Although it was late in the night, Ms. Sanchez baked a cake for the child and the siblings all took pictures and ate together. A year later, Ms. Sanchez welcomed into her home an additional member of the sibling group without hesitation. She has been a strong advocate for the children and continues to ensure that each child receives the necessary services to address their issues. Ms. Sanchez has stated that while she did not physically give birth to them, they are the children of her heart. She is currently in the process of adopting all the children, and looking forward to making the family official. Ms. Sanchez has been a foster parent at the Children's Aid Society since December, 2005.
Bronxites Celebrate the Arts and Culture with Children's Aid
Hundreds of families came out to The Children's Aid Society's Bronx Family Center last week for Arts and Culture Day on May 16th as part of the Annual Bronx Week Celebration. The week-long celebration, sponsored by Bronx Borough President Diaz, Jr. and the Bronx Tourism Council, showcased the Bronx community's diverse culture and most importantly, its people who proudly call themselves, Bronxites.
Attendees were able to access many different resources at Arts and Culture Day such as free blood pressure and mental health screenings, Foster Care recruitment and health insurance information. John Moncrief, the Community Liaison from Assembly Member Eric Stevenson's office, provided information on how his office serves its constituents and the resources provided.
The fun-filled event also had many activities for the younger crowd such as face painting, a bouncy house and raffles all while enjoying a tasty hotdog and sweet cotton candy. There was even a show-stopping dance performance by the C.S. 61 Dancers. C.S. 61 is a Children's Aid Community School located in the South Bronx. The performance was reflective of the amazing talent and different cultures in the Bronx.
Needless to say, The Children's Aid Society's Bronx Week celebration was once again a success and more importantly a celebratory and rewarding experience for the families and children of the Bronx.
Youth Council Tackles Bullying in Schools
Last night, dozens of students, parents and community members gathered at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore on East 86th Street to discuss one of the biggest problems facing schools today: bullying.
The event was organized by The Children's Aid Society Community School's Youth Council, a group of middle school students who are empowered to serve as advocates for their communities. This year, they surveyed 500 of their peers about their experiences with bullying, and used the results to make their own documentary. The film premiered last night and featured first person accounts as well as reenactments that demonstrate some of the difficult situations that students currently face.
After the screening, Youth Council members led a lively town hall discussion where students, parents and teachers alike shared their experiences with bullying and their suggestions for how to solve this problem in our communities. The students were articulate and honest during the discussion and handled difficult conversations with maturity. During one poignant moment, a student shared her painful story of a friend's suicide as a result of bullying. Later in the evening, when a local NYPD officer was captivated by the discussion, he stressed the importance of parental and community involvement in cases of bullying, reminding the audience that bullies are often victims of violence themselves.
Last night's event was also a fundraiser for The Children's Aid Society. A portion of the proceeds from all of last night's purchases in the 86th Street store will be donated to The Children's Aid Society. Your online purchases can still help Children's Aid by using Book Fair Code #10711901 on all www.bn.com orders thru Friday, May 25th.

Dole Food Company, Inc. Visits With Go!Healthy Program Participants
This week Dole Food Company, Inc.and The Children's Aid Societycelebrated the Go!Healthy Programin East Harlem. Funded in part by a grant from Dole, second-grade students from P.S. 50, a Children's Aid Community School, had the opportunity to show off their cooking classroom, gardens and culinary skills for this multinational corporation.
"We are so excited to partner with The Children's Aid Society for the Go!Healthy Program," said Marty Ordman, Vice President, Marketing and Communications, Dole Food Company, Inc "Healthy habits start at a young age and it is so important that we give our children the tools they need, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, and easy recipes, to ensure that they lead a healthy lifestyle."
As truly gracious hosts, the children prepared a deliciously healthy meal at the nearby Children's Aid Society East Harlem Centerwhich showcased fresh ingredients grown in their very own school garden and their cooking skills, all a part of the Go!Chefs cooking program. This program introduces children and youth from low-income neighborhoods across New York City to healthy, fresh foods through fun, hands-on learning experiences.
Dole's contributions to the Go!Healthy and Go!Chefs programs are an example of the company's continued commitment to reducing the rates and impact of childhood obesity in the U.S. through early educational interventions.

Join the Youth Council for a Screening of their Movie on Bullying
For the past two years, Children's Aid Society's Community Schools Middle School Youth Council has been addressing the serious problem of bullying in their schools with youth facilitated events and workshops. They screened and discussed the film Bully with director Lee Hirsch, provided town halls within their schools and met with elected officials to express their concerns. This year they have armed themselves with data, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative research methods to support their work.
After collecting over 500 surveys and interviewing their peers, they have realized they are entrenched in an epidemic. Of the students surveyed, 46.2% of respondents said that bullying has a big impact on their school. The majority of students express that young people are bullied because of appearance (67.5%) and race (42.4%). Likewise, 67% of students reported that school staffs either do not stop the bullying or unaware that it is happening.
This is perhaps the most alarming statistic. The youth leaders in Community Schools aim to help adults to understand the severity of this problem. They also hope that policymakers can consider their experiences when assessing city funding for mental health and out of school time programming.
The Youth Council has created a video to represent their findings. This video will premier in the Green Room at the Barnes and Noble at 150 E 86th Street near Lexington Avenue, NYC on Wednesday, May 23rd at 4:30PM followed by discussion for parents, high school students, educators, administrators and policy makers.
This event will also be part of a fundraiser for Children's Aid. A portion of the proceeds from all books bought on this day in the 86th Street Barnes and Noble store will be donated to The Children's Aid Society. A portion of the proceeds from online purchases from May 23rd to May 25th using the Book Fair code #10711901 will also be donated to Children's Aid.
This event is part of a Children's Aid Society fundraiser with Barnes and Noble.
All are welcome to attend the movie premier and discussion forum. Please rsvp to Stacey Campo at email@example.com.
Hundreds Rally in the Bronx to Save After-School and Child Care Programs
By: Keyla Espinal
On May 8th hundreds of children, advocates and Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) in the Bronx rallied on the steps of the Bronx Supreme Court on 161st Street and Grand Concourse to say NO to the Mayor's budget cuts. The Campaign for Children and it's supporting organizations, including The Children's Aid Society, gathered students to show the importance of after-school and child care programs, especially in the Bronx. Representatives from the offices of Council Member Annabel Palma and Assembly Member Vanessa Gibson, both of whom represent sections of the Bronx, echoed the participants devastation and the importance of restoring these cuts.
Students had signs expressing the importance of their programs which also included other creative representation such as: songs and dance, t-shirts with symbolic pictures, and one group of students had Band-Aids on their faces to represent how "budget cuts hurt." The Children's Aid Society was well represented by students from CS 61 who chanted "save after-school" and "CAS is the best."
This will be the fifth straight year the Mayor has cut child care and after-school programs, reducing services by two-thirds, which will leave 90,000 children without these essential programs come September. This year alone, the combined effects of the new cuts and changes to the early childhood and after-school systems will eliminate an additional 15,900 child care slots and slash after-school services for 31,800 children. These programs are proven to prepare children for school, support them while in school and help low-income, working parents keep their jobs. The Campaign for Children, as well as the other advocates and children at the rally, all vowed to continue to fight these cuts through June 30th, when the final City budget is due to be passed.

Neuberger Berman Volunteers Get Kids Thinking About College
Thanks to some very special volunteers from Neuberger Berman, several 5th graders in Washington Heights are much more prepared to experience college. Last week, students from P.S. 5, a Children's Aid Society Community School were joined by these volunteers who proved to them that one is never too young to think about their future academic careers and college. The students were divided into four groups named after college mascots: the Tigers, the Eagles, the Bulldogs and the Lions. The groups had the opportunity to meet with the volunteers individually who shared with them all about their own college experiences and how they transitioned into their careers.
The youth did not waste this precious opportunity to gain some insight into what college could be like for them. Among the many questions were "Is it hard to make friends at college?" "Do you have classes on the weekends?" and "Is college expensive?" The visit turned out to be a complete success with both groups learning a great deal from one another. The Neuberger Berman volunteers made a great impression on the Children's Aid kids and without a doubt they should visit P.S. 5 again soon!
Richard Buery Calls for Preservation of After-School and Child Care Programs on Manhattan Viewpoint Blog
As part of ongoing advocacy efforts aimed at convincing city leaders to preserve funding for after-school and child care programs, Richard Buery, Children's Aid President and CEO, served as a guest writer on the Manhattan Viewpoint Blog. Mr. Buery's post, NYC Budget Cuts Damage Our Children, carefully reviews the numbers in terms of how many children and families will be effected. The stunning statistics include: "In Central Harlem, only 5.7% of eligible families will have access to early childhood education." An excerpt of the post is available below. Also, be sure to visit the Children's Aid Take Action Page to learn how you can tell Mayor Bloomberg and other elected officials to save vital services for children!
NYC Budget Cuts Damage Our Children
On Thursday, Mayor Bloomberg announced his $68.7 billion budget proposal, and for the fifth straight year, his budget slashes early childhood and after school programs.
Nonsensical Cuts
With Wall Street tax revenues lower than predicted and our city still recovering from the economic downtown, I understand that the city has difficult choices to make. But decimating these critical programs for children is just the wrong choice to make.
From his Young Men's Initiative to improve outcomes for young people of color, to his plans to serve juveniles in supportive programs here in New York City rather than upstate juvenile jails, to the groundbreaking poverty-fighting initiatives of his Center for Economic Opportunity, the Mayor has demonstrated his sincere commitment to the poor and working-class children of New York City. And while I haven't agreed with every element of his education reform policies, he has bravely asked to be judged as the "education mayor." Our expectations of what a public education system can and should be expected to deliver for poor children have been changed forever.
That is why the mayor's proposed cuts to early childhood education and after-school programs make absolutely no sense. We all understand how important it is to keep kids engaged and on track beginning at a very early age...
11th Annual Children's Art Show
Last week, the walls at the National Arts Club exquisitely displayed brightly colored and deeply moving art pieces from youth in Children's Aid Society community schools and centers. Dozens of children, parents and staff attended the 11th Annual Children's Art Show at the famous arts club in Gramercy Park on Thursday April 26th to celebrate their talents.
This year, the Art Show featured approximately150 pieces of art by children ages 3-18 from Children's Aid fall and winter programs. There was something for everyone to enjoy! Delicately made tissue paper cherry blossoms done by 5 and 6 year olds of the Dunlevy Milbank Center to emotionally moving charcoal drawings by teens in the Artistic Noise program.
Overwhelming accolades were given to all the artists by the legendary Dianne Bernhard, President of The National Arts Club, Richard Buery, President and CEO and Dr. William Weisberg, Chief Operating Officer of The Children's Aid Society. Along with the talent on the walls, all in attendance were treated to an energetic performance by the Children's Aid Senior Chorus and a riveting original poetic reading by Kelisha Cyrus of The Hope Leadership Academy. Visit the 11th Annual Children's Art Show photo gallery to view images of this special event and art work.

'The priesthood is not chosen by anyone for himself. It is not a way of obtaining security in life or a social position. The priesthood is the answer to the Lord's call to become preachers, not of a personal truth, but of His truth. Priestly ordination means being immersed in the Truth'.
'The Christian people need to hear the teaching of the true ecclesial doctrine" that has as it point of reference "Sacred Scripture, the writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, as well as the Catechism of the Catholic Church'.
Vatican Information Service
4/14/2010 (6 years ago)
Published in Vocations
VATICAN CITY (VIS) - The ordained ministry was again the topic of catechesis by Benedict XVI at Wednesday's general audience held in St. Peter's Square and attended by 16,000 people. In particular, the Pope reflected on the "fruitful reality of the priest in the figure of Christ the Head in carrying out the tria munera that he receives, that is, in the three functions of teaching, sanctifying, and governing".
"However, in order to understand what it means to act in persona Christi capitis, that is, in the person of Christ the Head, and the consequences of a priest's duty to represent the Lord, it is necessary to understand," the Holy Father said, "that the presbytery represents Jesus 'who is never absent in the Church'".
"Therefore, a priest ... never acts in the name of someone absent, but in the person of the Risen Christ" and "the three offices of teaching,sanctifying, and governing are ... a clear specification of that effective representation because they are actually the three actions of the Risen Lord himself who teaches, sanctify, and guides the Church today".
Referring to the first task, the munus docendi, teaching, the pontiff affirmed that a priest "teaches in the name of Christ present, putting forward the Truth which is Christ. For a priest, it is true what Christ says of himself: my teaching is not my own ... It is the voice and the word of the Father. That is how the priest should act: I do not propagate my ideas ... but am the mouth and heart of Christ and I present this unique teaching that has informed the Universal Church and that gives life".
"The teaching that we are called to offer, the truths of the faith that we must communicate should be internalized and lived in an intense spiritual journey," the Pope emphasized, recalling that not infrequently can a priest's voice seem one that cries out in the wilderness.
'This is what its prophetic force consists in, not in being homogenized into any other dominant culture or mentality but of showing the unique newness capable of a profound and authentic renewal of the human being, that is to say that Christ is the Living One, God who is near to us, God who works in and through life in the world". "In preaching, catechesis, academic teaching, and above all "in the unwritten book that is his life, a priest is always a teacher. Not with the presumption of those who impose their own truths but with the humble and joyful sincerity of those who have found the Truth, have been grasped and transformed by it and who therefore cannot stop announcing it". "In fact, the priesthood," observed the Holy Father, "is not chosen by anyone for himself. It is not a way of obtaining security in life or a social position. The priesthood is the answer to the Lord's call ... to become preachers, not of a personal truth, but of His truth".
Addressing himself to priests the Pope affirmed: "The Christian people need to hear the teaching of the true ecclesial doctrine" that has as it point of reference "Sacred Scripture, the writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, as well as the Catechism of the Catholic Church". "Priestly ordination," he continued, "means being immersed in the Truth ... which is not simply a concept or set of ideas to transmit and assimilate but the Person of Christ". "The Pope finished by expressing the desire that St. John Mary Vianney may serve as an example for priests because, in him, the Christian people recognize "that which must always be recognized in a priest: the voice of the Good Shepherd".
