1 A RIF GUIDE FOR COMMUNITY COORDINATORS Before reading: Has anyone in the group ever seen or been to the Macy s Parade? What about another parade? What was the parade like? Who was in the parade? What was it for? What s the point of a parade? RELATED ACTIVITIES TECHNOLOGY LINK (ALL AGES) Watch this clip of a marionette puppet show: Then watch this clip of the 1939 Macy s Parade: How are the puppets and the balloons alike? RUBE GOLDBERG CONTEST (AGES 8-12) Materials: whatever you have around the center A Rube Goldberg machine is a complicated machine that performs a very simple task. Tony s pulley system for feeding the chickens is like a very simple Rube Goldberg machine. Divide the children into teams and have them compete to make some more complicated ones! Pick an easy task (like knocking a cup over), then have children set up a complex chain reaction of as many steps as possible to complete it. Use only what you find around the center. First team to complete the task with their machine wins! (Watch to see a sample machine.) BALLOONS ON PARADE (AGES 6-12) Materials: balloons, markers, tape, rods (unsharpened pencils or straws) Hold a balloon parade at your center! Give children a number of balloons in different colors and sizes to blow up. (Younger children may need help inflating balloons.) Have the children tape the balloons together to make animals, like dragons or tigers. Let them decorate with markers. Tape rods to the balloon animals at each end so children can carry them. When every child has a balloon, put on some music and hold your own parade!

2 A RIF GUIDE FOR EDUCATORS Content Connections: Math, Science, Social Studies, Art BEFORE WE READ, LET S LOOK AT The Cover: See if the students can predict what the book is about based on the title and cover illustrations. Where is Broadway? What is the Macy s Parade? Have any students ever been to the parade or watched it on television? The Pictures: Briefly flip through a few pages. Based on the pictures, what does the main character do? Do the students know what a puppeteer is? Prior Knowledge: Ask students what they know about puppets. Can they give any examples of puppets? Explain that puppetry is actually an ancient art form practiced around the world. A marionette is a special kind of puppet controlled from above by strings. To familiarize students with the Macy s Parade, have them watch this clip of the 1939 parade: (or Vocabulary: marionette, gear, pulley, immigrant, helium Purpose for Reading: As we read, think about the different problems Tony faces and how he solves each one. WHILE WE READ MONITORING COMPREHENSION u Why does Tony s father stop making him do chores? u Why does Macy s begin putting on a parade? u What does the first parade look like? u Why does Macy s want to replace the animals? u What makes the balloons float? LET S THINK ABOUT Our Purpose: How does Tony solve each of the problems he faces? How does he use his different interests, skills, and knowledge to come up with creative solutions? Extending Our Thinking: Watch this clip of the 2011 parade: (or this 2010 clip: How is today s parade different from the parade in 1939? How is it the same? Why do you think it s changed? How will the parade look in 70 more years? NOTE TO EDUCATORS u Extension Activities for Educators also available. u Vocabulary Scaffolding Sheet also available.
3 A RIF GUIDE FOR PARENTS AND FAMILIES Before reading, build background knowledge: Has your child ever seen or been to the Macy s Parade? What about another parade? What was it like? While reading, make connections: How does Tony use the things he s interested in and the things he s good at to solve problems with the parade? After reading, ask questions: u Why does Tony love to make things move? u How does the Macy s Parade start? u Why does Tony invent the balloons? u What other celebrations or holidays have parades? RELATED ACTIVITIES MACY S DAY PARADE FLOAT Ingredients: lemon sherbet and fizzy lemonade Everyone loves a good float! Fill a glass halfway with fizzy lemonade and top with a scoop of low-calorie lemon sherbet or vanilla frozen yogurt. Enjoy! (You can also use more traditional flavors like vanilla ice cream and soda, though that version is less healthful.) RUBE GOLDBERG Materials: whatever you have around the house A Rube Goldberg machine is a complicated machine that performs a very simple task. Tony s pulley system for feeding the chickens is like a very simple Rube Goldberg machine. Help your child make a more complex one! Pick an easy task (knocking a cup over, for example), and then help your child set up a complex chain reaction of as many steps as possible to complete it. Use only what you find around the house. (Watch to see a sample machine.) BALLOON ANIMALS Materials: balloons, markers, tape, rods (unsharpened pencils or straws) Let your child create a parade balloon! Blow up a number of balloons in different colors and sizes. Tape them together to make an animal, like a dragon or a tiger. Decorate with markers. Tape rods to the balloon animal at each end so you can carry it. Make more than one and have your own parade! TECHNOLOGY LINK Watch this clip of a marionette puppet show: Then watch this clip of the 1939 Macy s Parade: How are the puppets and the balloons alike?

4 RIF EXTENSION ACTIVITIES FOR EDUCATORS THINK-TAC-TOE ACTIVITY OPTIONS u Individual students can choose an activity to complete. u Student pairs or cooperative groups can work together on a choice of their own. u Educator can assign an activity for an individual, pairs, or groups. FLEW THE COOP Tony figures out how to feed the chickens without leaving his bed. Design a machine to help you do one of your chores. Make an advertising brochure to sell your machine. Include a labeled drawing and be sure to explain how it works! PULLING THE STRINGS Put on your own puppet show! Pick a book you ve read in class this year. Retell the story with puppets! Write a short script. Use what you have in your classroom or your hands to make puppets. Draw your set on a large sheet of paper. Perform your show for the rest of the class! Can they guess the story you picked without hearing the title? GAS CAN Helium is the gas that makes balloons float. It s actually lighter than air! What are some other gasses? Find at least 5 other gasses and what we use them for. Do we use any of them in balloons? Share your findings on a poster or in a PowerPoint. Writing, Science, Engineering HE S GONE! Uh-oh, looks like there s a shortage of helium we can t use balloons in the parade this year! What can we do? Like Tony does, use your skills and hobbies to come up with a way to solve this problem. Write a story or draw a comic strip about how you saved the Macy s Parade. Science, Writing KEEP IT SIMPLE Tony uses pulleys to make his puppets work. A pulley is a simple machine. What are the 5 other simple machines? Using materials in the classroom, make a model of each of the 6 simple machines. Label each machine! Art, Writing EN ROUTE The path a parade takes is called a route. Plan the route for a parade through your town. Go to and type in your town. With this guide, draw a map of your parade route. Make your route about 2.6 miles, like the Macy s Parade. Pick a good starting and ending where people can line up to see! Label your map. Technology, Art, Geography, Social Studies HANDLE WITH CARE Each year, the parade has 50 balloons and 1,600 balloon handlers. If each balloon has the same number of handlers, how many handlers does each balloon have? What if 10 balloons had 20 handlers each and the rest of the balloons had the same number? How many handlers would the rest of the balloons have? Science ON PARADE Parades are popular worldwide. Find at least 5 different cultural holidays or celebrations with parades. What is the holiday about? Where and how is it celebrated? Who celebrates? Are there puppets or floats? Share your findings in a poster, brochure, or PowerPoint. Art, Social Studies ROD-ICAL Tony is inspired by an Indonesian rod puppet. Make your own simple rod puppet by drawing an animal figure on paper and cutting it out. On the back of the figure, write a few basic facts about Indonesia: location, population, capital, etc. Glue or tape a pencil to your figure as a rod.

"I was singing, and I would get tips – not a lot of tips, but I saved for like eight weeks and bought my mom a couch," she says. "I would like announce it when she wasn't there [at the shows]. I'd be like, 'I'm trying to buy my mom a couch!' And I bought her a couch. That's probably the coolest thing I've ever bought someone."

What are the benefits of diversification to an investor
1. Is risk aversion a reasonable assumption? What is the relevant measure of risk for a risk averse investor?
2. What are the benefits of diversification to an investor? what is the key factor determing the extent of these benefits?
3. Total risk can be decomposed into systematic risk. Explain each component of risk, and how each is affected by increasing the number of securities in a portfolio.
Solution Preview
Hi there,
Here are your answers:
Risk Aversion:
Describes an investor who, when faced with two investments with a similar expected return (but different risks), will prefer the one with the lower risk.
Risk aversion is a concept in economics, finance, and psychology explaining the behaviour of consumers and investors under uncertainty. Risk aversion is the reluctance of a person to accept a bargain with an uncertain payoff rather than another bargain with a more certain but possibly lower expected payoff. The inverse of a person's risk aversion is sometimes called their risk tolerance. For a more general discussion see the main article risk.
A person is given the choice between a bet of either receiving $100 or nothing, both with a probability of 50%, or instead, a certain (100% probability) payment. Now he is risk averse if he would rather accept a payoff of less than $50 (for example, $40) with probability 100% than the bet, risk neutral if he was indifferent between the bet and a certain $50 payment, risk-loving (risk-proclive) if it required that the payment be more than $50 (for example, $60) to induce him to take the certain option over the bet.
The average payoff of the bet, the expected value would be $50. The certain amount accepted instead of the bet is called the certainty equivalent, the difference between it and the expected value is called the risk premium.

Benefits of diversification & Key Factors:
How many times have you heard someone say, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket"? When it comes to investing, that's very good advice.
Successful investors know that diversifying their investments can help reduce the impact that a single, poorly performing investment can make on their overall portfolio, or mix of investments.
Diversification means having different kinds of investments, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. It also means having a mix of investments in different sectors or industries. A well-diversified portfolio might include bonds, money market funds, and stocks of small, medium, and large companies in a variety of industries and countries. International stocks, for example, may rise at the same time domestic stocks are falling, softening the blow to your overall portfolio. Even if your risk tolerance is low, you can still consider ...

FTSE seen opening lower
The FTSE 100 <.FTSE> index is seen falling on Monday, tracking weakness overnight in Asia, as new European leaders battle with the sovereign debt crisis, and as a U.S. bipartisan committee looked set to miss a deficit reduction deadline.
The UK blue chip index looked set to shed 46 to 49 points, or as much as 0.9 percent, according to financial bookmakers, after it fell 60.20 points, or 1.1 percent, to 5,362.94 on Friday -- its fifth daily loss in a row to end the week down 3.3 percent.
The U.S. congressional deficit-reduction committee was set to formally announce the failure of its three-month-long effort to bridge partisan differences over taxes and spending, aides told Reuters.
In Spain, the centre-right opposition People's Party stormed to a crushing election victory and is expected to push through drastic austerity measures to try to prevent the country being sucked deeper into the debt storm threatening the euro zone.
Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti won an overwhelming vote of confidence on Friday after warning politicians against sabotaging a sweeping package of fiscal reforms.
But political wrangling in Greece, which has teetered on the brink of default and set off the panic selling now widespread in bonds of other highly-indebted euro zone members, threatened the new prime minister's bid to win vital bailout funds from European leaders.
No major domestic economic data was scheduled for release on Monday. Across the Atlantic, the October Chicago Fed index is due at 1330 GMT, and U.S. October existing home sales are out at 1500 GMT.

By Steve Sternberg, USA TODAY
Joan Bishop's thoughts trend toward disaster. Earthquakes, hurricanes, "dirty bombs," weapons of mass destruction, killer pandemics — she has studied them all.
But Bishop, 46, of Fairfax, Va., says her expertise did little to stop the H1N1 pandemic from landing on her doorstep. Despite taking all the recommended precautions, two of her three daughters, Beri, 10, and Bailey, 13, contracted swine flu. Each posed a different challenge because their unique risks — Beri's autism and epilepsy and Bailey's asthma — made them more difficult to treat.
H1N1 AND KIDS: Swine flu strikes most vulnerable hardest
INTERACTIVE: Swine flu map, flu IQ quiz, video and latest news
What's more, Bishop says, her expertise intensified her concerns about her children.
"I know too much," she says.
The worst-case scenarios
A disaster preparedness expert for the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, Bishop has helped draft pandemic plans for the Department of Defense and the Department of Health and Human Services. She has absorbed the medical literature and studied the case histories.
As her children grew sicker, she was overwhelmed with anxiety over what might happen next. She couldn't shake the worst-case scenarios that were running through her mind.
"I knew what was happening medically. I've read the autopsy reports. Seeing those was scary," she says.
The Bishop family's ordeal illustrates one of the central paradoxes of the pandemic. Unlike seasonal flu, H1N1 has taken a disproportionate toll on children.
Beri's symptoms set in on Nov. 1, when H1N1 vaccine was still in short supply. Right after Halloween, Beri developed a high fever and respiratory symptoms.
Her pediatrician diagnosed Beri with flu complicated by pneumonia. She prescribed antibiotics and the antiviral drug Tamiflu. But Beri, who already was taking medication for seizures and an inactive thyroid, was gripped with anxiety about taking any more pills.
"She was paralyzed with fear of choking, because she was coughing so much," Bishop says.
Her parents' urging to follow the doctors' orders hardened her resistence. Soon she refused to take any medication at all. "I was stressed that she was not taking her antiviral and antibiotics," Bishop says. It was Beri's refusal to take her anti-seizure medication "that almost did me in," her mother says. "You can't have a seizure on top of this," she implored her daughter.
Her parents tried liquid Tamiflu, Bishop says, but that didn't help: "It tasted like gasoline." The usual advice — "put it in applesauce" — didn't work. Ultimately, she ended up washing the drug down with big gulps of cola. She still refused to take her antibiotics, so doctors began giving them to her intravenously and through injections. Eventually, the medicine helped, and Beri began getting better.
Then, in the first week of December, back from a family vacation in California, Bailey got the flu, complicated by an ear infection.
She was diagnosed on Sunday, Dec. 6. Doctors prescribed Tamiflu and antibiotics. By Wednesday, Bishop says, her father took Bailey back to the doctor. "She was having severe symptoms for someone who had been on Tamiflu for four days." A chest X-ray was negative.
Bailey's ordeal worsens
By Friday, Dec. 11., Bailey's temperature hit 103 degrees and stayed there. She began coughing so persistently that she couldn't sleep. In the early hours of Dec. 12, her parents took her to an urgent-care center because she couldn't breathe. A doctor prescribed oral steroids, drugs known to ease airway congestion.
Based on a new chest X-ray, Bishop says, the doctor diagnosed pneumonia. But three subsequent X-rays and a CT scan of Bailey's chest proved inconclusive. One clue to Bailey's misery may lie in the autopsy research Bishop cites.
The studies, by Jeffrey Jentzen at the University of Michigan and James Gill of New York University and Jeffrey Taubenberger of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, show that unlike most flu viruses, H1N1 can settle deep into the lungs. "We're not sure why," Jentzen said in a recent interview.
A new crisis began on the morning of Christmas Eve, after a visit with Santa Claus at a local mall. Bailey began wheezing, and despite treatments with nebulizers at home, her blood oxygen level began dropping. A doctor recommended that Bailey be admitted to Inova Fairfax hospital, where she stayed for two days.
Since then, she has been sustained on steroids, given orally and through inhalers. "She's better than she was, but she's not back to her full capacity," Bishop says. "Her asthma is worse than before."
Doctors allowed Bailey to stop taking the oral steroids in January. She is slowly getting better, Bishop says, but it may be months before she fully recovers.

Late surge fuels Lakers past RocketsMar 12, 2009 - 5:34 AM HOUSTON (Ticker) -- Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers did not get caught looking ahead.
Bryant had a huge second half and the Lakers used a late surge to post a 102-96 victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.
Bryant scored 31 of his points in the second half and hit some key shots down the stretch as the Lakers closed the game by outscoring the Rockets, 16-10, in the final 2:20.
"I was just disappointed in the way we played the second half. They took control of the game and finished it off, and we just could never get on a roll defensively," Houston coach Rick Adelman said. "We turned it over 23 times. We shot 51 percent, but that doesn't help if we turn it over like we did."
Pau Gasol added 20 points for Los Angeles, which has a key Western conference showdown with the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday.
Josh Powell added 17 for the Lakers, who snapped a three-game road losing streak despite missing Lamar Odom, who served a one-game suspension for leaving the bench during an altercation in Monday's loss at Portland.
Von Wafer scored 20 points off the bench for Houston.
"I think in the second half we didn't play as good a defense and they got a stretch where they scored," Wafer said. "We've got to sharpen that up. It was a tough game. You lose the tough ones, but I think we got better from this."
Bryant scored 18 of his points in the fourth when the game was decided. Wafer scored to make it 86-86 with 2:26 to go, but the Lakers reeled off six straight points, including a bucket by Bryant that made it 92-86.
"We had a wonderful halftime talk. We came out and played good defense. Our post defense got a lot better," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "Yao didn't get many touches. We got a lot of steals. We had to try to get Kobe started. He was going east and west (in the first half) instead of north and south."
Bryant then iced the game with a three-point play when he was fouled on a jumper by Shane Battier. The free throw made it 95-88 with 38 seconds left.
"We became a little more assertive (in the second)," Bryant said. "In the first half we kind of let them take it to us a little bit. It's a big win. We've been struggling on the road. I felt our bench came in and played fairly well."
Yao Ming scored 16 points and Luis Scola added 15 for Houston.

What's the point of a tail, you might wonder? After all, we humans seem to manage perfectly well without one. But this extra appendage does a vital job for most animals, from propulsion (crocodile) and counterbalance (cheetah) to seduction (widowbird) and signposting (warthog). In fact, a brief glance at some of Africa's more notable exponents of tail power might just leave you wondering what you're missing. By Mike Unwin.
Well-known for its long-established gorilla-trekking opportunities, Rwanda is now gaining recognition for the other attractions and experiences it offers.

Last night I was sent the following video as a result of my "pseudotumor cerebri" Google Alert. It is funny, it is interesting and it is close to answering one of my burning questions concerning this disease:
How is this disease discussed in medical school (if at all)?
The video seems to be some sort of Kaplan review segment designed for students who need to recognize, diagnose and treat patients with IH. Get out your notebooks and your pencils to check this one out. Oh wait... you probably already know everything this guy is about to say! Well, here it goes anyway:
While I did learn something new from this video (I did not know the sled dog story), I was a little disappointed in a couple of points:
- That the name "Intracranial Hypertension" was not given. I understand that PTC is an easier name to remember for doctors since the name holds a meaning that will aid them in identifying the symptoms (like a tumor, but not really one in the brain), however, as a patient, many resources can be found under the IH name.
- Also, I wish some attention was given to the fact that while there does seem to be a prevalence in young obese females with this diagnosis, there are in fact children, men and women of all ages and sizes diagnosed with this disease as well.
- Finally, I was surprised that weight loss and Diamox (Acetazolamide) were the only treatments discussed.

Range bag help
So I got a range case the other day and heres the problem, all I have in it is my Sig 226 40s&w. Im new to rage shooting and I need to know what I should put in it besides ammo and earplugs. Any tips and suggestions like what type of ammo, earplugs and so on is much appreciated. I want this thing to be decked out so Im going on a mini shopping spree at the local gun store; Impact Guns Home(you can win a gun if you got to impacts website). Remember Im relatively new to this and I dont want to look like an idiot when I go in there.http://mail.google.com/a/bredadoor.c...f_gfvdw3uf0&zw
My range bag has a bunch of crap in it like a pocket cleaning kit, little squeeze bottles of oil, tools like a pocket knife, needlenose pliers & screwdrivers, spare gun parts like springs & extra mags for what I'm shooting, some rags, and anything else I think will come in handy...
when it comes to pistol shooting, I don't really have alot in my range bag. Glasses, something to wipe the lense of the glasses with, a chamber flag as my range requires them during cease fires, even on pistols, hearing protection, a zip lock baggy for collecting brass as I reload all of my ammo, the pitol, and the ammo. That's about it. Now when I head to the rifle range, then I have alot more stuff to bring.
Oh yeah, I keep a bore snake handy and a few tools necessary to field strip the pistol. A little gun oil and a silicone cloth.
I was contemplating weather or not i should keep a cleaning kit in there. I think I'll leave it out and put more ammo in it
Ive got ammo, ear muffs, glasses, a rag to wipe the gun/parts, a rag to wipe my hands/face (it's hot in florida), a bag with some q-tips, gun oil, a pen or sharpie for marking targets, and a bore-snake if I'm shooting rifles.
Don't forget targets. You can get a package of 50 paper plates and some of the small colored round stickers for a few bucks. You can also print off an assortment of .pdf targets off from your home computer, and don't forget a stapler if your range does not have one. You may also want to consider a small first aid/trauma kit. Even if your range has one, it may not be properly stocked. Don't forget your cell phone to call 911 if you or someone else needs help. Some sort of baby wipe or material to clean your hands of lead before eating or drinking.
Hope that helps.
Ya might also want to add a S&W MP9
A Colt 1911 45
and a Browning Buckmark 22lr.
Just a thought.:D
If we are going that direction in range bag additions, I think a S&W Model 29 .44 mag would be a good idea to take with you to the range.
And maybe a wheelie like a Ruger 357:rolleyes:

Is there a way that I can give a client access to stats only via web the web - I have just completed a campaign and I am about to send it out but don't want the client to gain access to anything other than their stats.
Hi Amanuensis, welcome to the forums! Yes, it's possible to provide access to campaign reports only. Log in using your designer account, then go to the client's 'Client Settings' > 'Account access and billing settings', then ensure that under 'What features can this client access?', only 'View reports on any campaign sent' is checked. Here's a screenshot of this.
All the best with your campaign!
Thanks for your reply
Could you clarify what you mean by 'designer account'?
Sorry to be confusing there - I mean your account, using your login credentials (as different from the accounts of your clients).

Family of Hall of Famer Gale Sayers discusses his dementia
By admin on March 20, 2017 at 4:29 am
The family of former running back Gale Sayers discussed the Hall of Famer's dementia with the Kansas City Star, saying they want to help other families who are going through similar circumstances. When Sayers sued the NFL over concussions in January 2014, it was stated in the lawsuit that he suffered from "loss of memory, dementia, Alzheimer's, neurological disorder, depression, sleep problems and irritability," but his family hadn't publicly discussed his battle. Sayer's wife, Ardie, says that the 73-year-old is still physically strong, but she added that the "brain controls everything, doesn't it?" Gale Sayers is described by NFL greats as one of the best running backs of all time. "You build memories all your life, and the next thing you know you don't remember anything," Roger Sayers said to the newspaper. "It's just tough." Elite Youth Nick Martin Jersey Sources told ESPN.com that Wolves coach and president Tom Thibodeau met with Casspi over dinner this weekend in New Orleans […]Tags: Elite Youth Maxx Williams Jersey, Elite Youth Nick Martin Jersey

This was in a BP chat.Originally Posted by BCubb2003
Which leads to the question... when does MLB's contract come up again?Brent (Raleigh, NC): In North Carolina right now, the Nats-Mets game is being blacked out on ESPN b/c we're considered to be Nat's "territory." Of course, there is no other way to watch Nats games since (unlike the Orioles, our other "home" team) they have no TV station down here, so basically the result is that you never see them play unless you make a trip to RFK. I hear the same is true even for DC residents. Do you have any thoughts on this situation?
Nate Silver: It's tragic, but I don't see the situation persisting for too much longer, particularly once baseball gets the chance to renegotiate its TV contracts. Blackouts are about as outdated as Betamax.
