New York City school buses are rolling again after a monthlong strike by bus drivers and matrons. Workers were back on the job transporting approximately 150,000 students in the nation's largest school district.
"We're happy to be back," said driver Philip Pan, 57, whose dashboard was adorned with a hand-drawn "Welcome back" card, complete with a picture of a bus.
"We're like a family. We're really close with these kids," said Pan, who's been on the job eight years.
But not all parents were happy. Sadia Awan, 34, ended up taking her seventh-grader to school herself because their bus didn't come.
Her son, Hurrera, has a prosthetic leg. They waited about 90 minutes before giving up.
"I was calling, calling, calling, waiting, waiting, waiting. Nothing," the angry mother said outside Middle School 88 in Park Slope, Brooklyn. "If he's late, the school's going to go after his academics. It's not good for me, it's not good for him."
Awan also said she had struggled with the online reimbursement process to cover her son's taxis during the strike. They cost $20 a day. "That's rent money," she said.
"I understand the drivers need security but they shouldn't have done it to the kids," said Awan.
The city spent roughly $20.6 million in transit cards, taxis and gas mileage to get tens of thousands of stranded students to school during the strike, but some still didn't get there at all, schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott said Monday.
The 7,700 or so bus routes resumed Wednesday following mid-winter recess, but routes for non-public schools started Tuesday, Walcott said. The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1181 ended its walkout on Friday evening after union leaders were assured by prospective New York City mayoral candidates that their concerns about job protection would be heard after this year's election. They went on strike Jan. 16.
"We are glad to welcome back the local 1181 drivers and matrons," Walcott said. "Their children have missed them ... and we need them back so our children can get to school."
Walcott estimated the city saved $80 million because it wasn't paying bus companies during the strike, which started over job protection issues. Local 1181 of the ATU wanted the city to include protections for current employees in future contracts with bus companies, but Mayor Michael Bloomberg said a court ruling prohibited the city from doing so.
"We may have some bumps with parents treating this like the first day of school. Some buses may be late. But the main union was on strike and their buses will now be back. I'm asking all parents to submit their reimbursements so we can pay them within the next 30 days. All parents should return their MetroCards, " said Walcott during Good Day NY on Wednesday.
Just 152,000 of New York City's 1.1 million public schoolchildren ride yellow school buses, but many are disabled or have no other easy way to get to school. The city provided transit cards for students and is reimbursing parents for taxi fares and gas mileage needed to get students to school during the strike. But Walcott said it was a struggle for many parents, and some students didn't make it to class.
Some 800 special education students across the city were re-routed, and parents should check with their schools to determine when the students would be back on regular routes, Walcott said.
"Wednesday will be a good day for our students, they will be able to get back to school riding on yellow buses," he said.
The school bus strike was the first in the city since 1979. About 5,000 of the city's 7,700 routes were affected.
The cost of busing students has risen from $100 million in 1979 to $1.1 billion today, prompting Bloomberg to insist the city must seek new bus contracts to cut costs. Walcott said so far there have been about 60 different contract bids and city officials are going through them and looking for the best, most cost-effective solutions.
Union leaders were heartened by a letter written by five Democrats vying for the nomination to succeed Bloomberg as mayor next year asking them to return to work. The candidates — City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, City Comptroller John Liu, former City Comptroller Bill Thompson and former Councilman Sal Albanese — said that if elected, they will revisit the job security issue.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

A spokesperson for the Beaumont Police Department has identified a woman who was shot to death at a Beaumont Hotel Tuesday morning.
The woman is identified as Kendra Crump, 27, of Monroe, Louisiana. Officers have already notified her next of kin.
Crump was shot around 4:46 a.m. Tuesday at the Knights Inn located at 4085 I-10 South.
When officers arrived at the Inn, they found a Crump with a gunshot wound to her upper body. Beaumont EMS took her to the Christus Hospital St. Elizabeth Emergency Room where doctors pronounced her dead on arrival.
Detectives have determined there was some type of altercation in one of the rooms of the hotel. During that altercation, Crump was shot and a man was assaulted.
The male victim suffered non-life threatening head trauma during the assault.
Sgt. Rob Flores said officers are looking for two possible persons of interest. They are both black males. One is described as tall and thin with short dread-locks wearing white shorts. The second is described as large and stocky with no other description. They may have left the motel in a gold colored four-door vehicle.
An autopsy is scheduled for 1 p.m. Wednesday.

Great jeans

from Texas
About Me Career, Casual, Classic, Trendy
Comments about 7 For All Mankind The Straight in Raw Indigo Selvage Denim:
I wear these as often as possible so that I can start breaking them in before I give them their first good soak in a few months. I really like these jeans as they fit well (even if a little big it feels) and they look great. The materials are very nice and everything feels very solidly made. The added touch of the yellow/red accents on the outer seam of the leg looks great when cuffed. Overall I would definitely recommend these jeans to just about anyone willing to put the money on them as they definitely won't disappoint.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Wonderful Quality but....
By Mike
from Pennsylvania
About Me Trendy
I loved the look and quality of these jeans. I returned them, however, as I felt that they felt too big below the knee. I am used to the "Skinny" fits on 7s, and the standard cut was not for me. I wish that they made the selvedge in skinny.

Good Jeans with a deceiving name
By Ken Li
from San Jose, CA
About Me Career, Casual, Classic
As the previous reviewer had mentioned that this is a good pair of jeans for skinny legs. The "straight" is a tapered fit(apparently modern straight = tapered? Why not name it "The Tapered" with the same moto). The leg is more tapered in than the Slimmy fit (15" vs 15.5"). The fit is close to Standard from waist down to knees and Slimmy from knees down. Good material and would be great for selvedge (the same applies for all slim fitting jeans) because it will bring defined whiskers and fades to your jeans. This jeans doesn't work for my athletic build but I would definitely recommend it to my slim friends. Just remember that The Straight is not a Straight fit...

Great denim, but too tapered
By Vince
from San Francisco, CA
About Me Bargain Shopper, Classic
After seeing these jeans on the website, I decided to try them out at the store for fitment.I own a couple of other 7FAM jeans and was hoping these would fit the same.Unfortunately these do not.Very disappointed as I looking forward to purchasing a pair of selvedge denim from 7FAM.The fit of the pants was perfect with the exception of things from the knee down.Too much tapering going on.The modern slim fit cut is for a guy who has nothing but chicken legs.If one has any type of musculature build these jeans just won't work.Proportioning gets all thrown off.Please 7FAM, make some jeans for us guys who don't have chicken legs.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Hey Vince. The Straight fit is a modern take on a regular straight leg so it is designed with a narrower leg opening. Remember selvage denim will break in as you wear it, so stick with it!

Every Star Wars junkie knows that Darth Vader was killed off in Episode 6 of the series but it's possible that the actor who played Vader could be coming back and playing a different role.
David Prowse, the man who played Darth Vader in Episodes IV, V, & VI, has said that he would like to come back and play a different role. It's possible too because his character was never unmasked, until the end, so many people don't recognize his face.
He also trashed the first three episodes saying they, "there's no comparison of the original movies. They had a more believable story."
Would you care to see Prowse come back to the series? Who would YOU like to see make an appearance in the new Star Wars movie?

text: Over 25,000 people call it home, but many are becoming more and more afraid to live in Inkster. Now, the city's police chief is calling on the state to lend a hand to make the streets a safer place."Either they're going to give us the resources to put a police force out here, or they're going to (have to) bring the National Guard in," says Inkster Police Chief Hilton Napoleon. Napoleon knows just how bad the streets of his city have become. With 12 murders so far this year, the city has already matched all of its homicides from 2012. On Thursday night, police say a possible drive-by shooting left four people injured.Napoleon says his ranks are down from over 60 officers just two years ago, to only 24 men in uniform. He wants more officers to fight crime and he wants a piece of the state's $400 million surplus."The state has plenty of money. What good is it to have a surplus if you've got cities out here hurting?" Napoleon says $3 million would allow him to hire at least 15 more full-time officers.State officials tell FOX 2 much of the surplus is being used to fix Michigan roads, public safety initiatives and education projects. But none is specifically marked for Inkster. Michigan State troopers are lending a hand in the streets, but Napoleon says it's not enough. "You can't cut our police department the way it's been cut and expect it to be safe."

Lawyers say a grand jury in Queens has voted not to indict a police officer on criminal charges in the fatal shooting of an unarmed National Guardsman during a traffic stop.
Detective Hassan Hamdy shot Noel Polanco, 22, on October 4, 2012, near LaGuardia Airport. No weapon was found in Polanco's car.
Hamdy's lawyer said his client fired after he saw Polanco reaching under his seat with both hands.
Polanco's family has said both hands were on his steering wheel. Polanco family Sanford Rubenstein says they are extremely disappointed by the news. He says the family will meet in the near future with their advisers to determine the best way to move forward "in their quest for justice."
Hamdy could still face departmental charges following an internal review.

About the Course
What if I don't pass the final quiz?
Quiz questions are entirely based on the chapter material covered, and are multiple choice or true/false. Most courses allow multiple attempts at completing the final quiz.
Do I have to be in front of my computer and do the whole course in one sitting?
Nope! You can log out and log back in as often as you want. Because the course is divided into chapters, you can complete a chapter or two, take a break, and come back. The system will remember where you left off and give you credit for the time you already spent in the course.
Can I use any browser or do I need special equipment?
Yes. Our course works on any of the standard PC and Mac browsers, and even on smart phones, netbooks and other Internet devices.

You can also request your username and password from the Login Page.
I am done with the material but the chapter timer still has time left. What can I do?
If your course has chapter timers, you must spend at least the minimum amount of time in the chapter so that the timer reaches 0:00. Until that time, you will not be able to progress to the chapter quiz. If you are a fast reader, we recommend that you take extra time reviewing anything that is emphasized, bold, highlighted, colored or boxed as well as the Let's Review. If you still have time to wait, please enjoy one of our Comedy Break videos.

David Yurman uses color fearlessly, combining gemstones in unconventional ways to create truly distinctive and captivating palettes. "Fashion has color moments," he says, "but the reality for me is it's not about trends. There are moments when you want something soft and muted, and moments when you want something deep and rich. I like the idea of mixing colors that you don't often see together, which might feel a bit odd, yet the result is refreshing."
Two links forever joined. The Infinity collection is a fresh take on the ancient symbol. A pair of elliptical smooth and cabled links interlace in perfect harmony. In pure precious metal or set with radiant stones, the designs evoke ageless symbolism with contemporary elegance.

"...It is recommended that umbilical artery Doppler should be the standard of practice in managing high-risk pregnancies complicated with fetal growth restriction and preeclampsia (level A recommendation). However, its use should be integrated with other current fetal monitoring tests (levels B and C recommendation). The overall management should also be guided by additional clinical considerations such as the gestational age, fetal and maternal status, and obstetrical conditions..."
So in subsequent pregnancies, your docs will likely be doing an ultrasound examination of the uterine arteries, and probably more than one, so they can keep an eye on it. The test is a second-hand way to figure out some things about the depth of implantation of the placenta. It's not a perfect test, which is why they say to couple it to other bits of information, and some people can have iffy Dopplers and good pregnancies or vice versa. Dopplers can also show improvement as the pregnancy progresses. But it is a help for picking out the pregnancies to watch more closely.
There's still no data suggesting Dopplers are of any use whatsoever in a normal low-risk pregnancy, but we're not having those sorts of pregnancies.

More LucasArts Classics Headed to WiiToday's Virtual Console re-release of Super Star Wars (SNES) was only the beginning, as publisher LucasArts today vowed that it will be bringing more of its console classics to the Wii's digital download service.
Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi will be joining Super Star Wars "in the coming weeks," with all three of the old-school Super Nintendo games going for 800 Wii Points ($8) a pop.
"Additional classic LucasArts games" were promised for the future, but none were named. Potential re-release candidates include Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (N64), Star Wars: Rogue Squadron (N64), SW Episode I: Racer (N64), Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures (SNES) and the long-expected Zombies Ate My Neighbors (SNES/GEN).
Though LucasArts has long ignored its library of vintage classics, the company has recently begun to embrace its heritage through remakes, revivals and re-releases.

NBAA's Business Aviation Regional Forums:
Supporting Members at the Local Level
Although business aviation is a national industry, even an international one, there is widespread recognition of the important economic role business aviation plays in towns and communities across the country. Studies have shown that companies using aircraft for business purposes generate jobs, local investment and economic activity in the towns where they operate.
NBAA's Business Aviation Regional Forums are designed to meet the local needs of these businesses by providing a venue for exchanging information about specific airport policies, environmental protocols, safety and security proposals, taxation and other issues. At the same time, these events offer an opportunity to underscore the importance of the industry to local leaders in business and government.
NBAA hosts several regional forums each year, bringing together local owners, operators, manufacturers, customers and other industry personnel.

Area volunteer fire departments are dealing with much tighter budgets this year, but they're hoping that will change after Thursday's budget debate in Austin.
The state's budget was reduced by more than half last year even though area firefighters say they're still waiting for reimbursements from their biggest fire season in years, which was in 2011.
The annual budget for volunteer firefighters was cut from $20 million to $7 million. Texas Forest Service Regional Fire Coordinator 1 Troy Ducheneaux says they're hoping to once again receive up to the full amount.
He says, "There's not really a set number now as to what departments get. Or how much they will not receive. It's going by what they're requesting and looking at the priorities in certain areas."
TFS says the funds go to the departments that need it the most. And it's based on population size, closest mutual aid available, and how recent they've received funding.
Since 2012 didn't see as many fire calls as 2011, training has increased, and they say they're preparing for summer where more fires are expected.

Lancaster County, PA
Lancaster - the perfect place for active retirement living in the Northeast
Lancaster County is absolutely brimming with history, diversity, and the arts – and its dining, shopping, educational, and entertainment opportunities are endless. Named one of Forbes' top 10 Counties for Retirement, this lovely spot welcomes seniors looking for the best in senior living. A sophisticated small city set amidst a charming and scenic countryside, the Washington Times recently referred to Lancaster as a hotbed of creative pursuits.
Explore History That Comes Alive
Lancaster boasts one of the largest National Historic Districts in the country. History buffs can explore dozens of historic sites, museums, mansions, gardens, and a Presidential estate (James Buchanan's Wheatland Estate). All historic sites are open to the public.
Appreciate The Amish
Lancaster offers the rare opportunity to observe and appreciate the first, oldest, and second largest community of Old Order Amish in the country. The 20,000+ members of the Amish community here still use the horse and buggy as their primary mode of transportation. The Amish live without many of the modern conveniences that we take for granted such as television, telephones, and computers. Instead of electricity, they use propane gas or battery-run devices, believing that the "worldliness" of modern technology would keep them from being close to God. Despite these differences, the Amish regularly interact with the "English," the term they use to refer to non-Amish individuals.
Enjoy A Wide Variety Of Entertainment Opportunities
The Fulton Theatre, Central Pennsylvania's premier regional theatre and a National Historic Landmark, is a must-visit gem in Downtown Lancaster, combining Broadway caliber musicals, comedies, and dramas with the grandeur of its ornate Victorian architecture.
Clipper Magazine Stadium's Atlantic-League Barnstormers baseball, Sight & Sound Millennium Theatre, American Music Theatre, and the renowned and Dutch Wonderland amusement parks are just a few more examples of the broad array of entertainment available here.
You can also enjoy tennis, golf, hot air balloon rides, a vast number of scenic bike trails, and much more!

Funny, in reading that I got this warm fuzzy feeling in my tummy and an instant memory of something I'd forgotten: the advent of supermarket roast chicken in my little world. The chickens weren't roasted there and I haven't a clue where they came from--and 'baked' is probably a more correct term than 'roasted'--but on offer, all in little disposable aluminum pans, were anything from a simple breast to half or whole chickens liberally coated with the orangey-red dust of seasoned salt which would have been as much about color as flavor because the skin was closer to blonde than brown--and kept under a heat lamp all day until sold. I've been on my own since I was 17, and those Lawry's season salt flavored roast chicken parts were many a dinner in those days.
Carrie L. wrote: Were they wrapped in Saran? I remember those little chickens under the heat lamps! Publix supermarket circa 1975-ish for me.

Thursdays and Fridays you can smell that wonderful BBQ odor around town as several grocery stores, and deli's have their oak grills going all morning ,loaded up with tri-tip and ribs, as well. Each has their own way of doing it, and and the sides are all different. Frankly, I wish they would get a little more creative with all this but I suppose that is what is profitable for them. A kiosk about 3 minutes from here opened up in the parking lot of a gas station, grocery store area called SMOKED. They grill all day long, making various sandwiches with the meats taken right off the grill and cut just before making your sandwich . I hear it is quite good, but keep forgetting to go there.

E3 2011: Dust 514
QUICKTAKE: Dust 514 is a an incredibly ambitious massively-multiplayer shooter, tied directly to EVE Online, the internationally acclaimed space-faring sandbox MMO. Whereas EVE Online allows players to choose one role from a variety of specific professions and strategically participate in a persistent universe that accommodates up to 360,000 simultaneous players (and is PC-only), Dust 514 is a PlayStation 3-exclusive title (not coming to PC) that will allow console players to form factions and take part in battles orchestrated by EVE Online players, with events in each game being instantly reflected in the other.
THE DEMO: In a closed-door meeting at E3, developer CCP gave an overview of EVE Online's evolution, teased a bit of the June 21-due (free) expansion called Incarna, and explained how Dust 514 will blend entirely new gameplay into EVE Online's persistent universe.
It was also revealed that events in each game will inform the other in real time, and PS3 gamers playing Dust 514 will be able to communicate directly with PC gamers playing EVE Online. In a nutshell, despite providing completely different types of gameplay on two completely different platforms--space-based strategy and action in EVE Online, and planet-based combat in Dust 514--both games take place in the same universe, at the same time.
DETAILS: To provide some context for Dust 514, the behind closed-door presentation began with an example of EVE Online's emergent, player-driven gameplay. A "pretty-old" map of EVE Online's solar system was shown (it's huge), showing each of the game's numerous Alliances ("super-groups" of allied players, around 1000-5000 players, each) and their controlled territories. It was explained that a relatively weak Alliance called Stain (comprised primarily of Nordic and French gamers), kept attacking a much more powerful Alliance (primarily Russians), despite repeated defeats. It was only after the Russian alliance dispatched spies that they discovered that the Stain Alliance was being funded by a third Alliance (of American players). Upon discovering this, the Russians blocked the trade route between the two conspiring factions. It's these same types of player-created (and driven) objectives that will inform the action in Dust 514, albeit on a planetary level.
Prior to diving into more information about Dust 514, developer CCP also showed off some footage from the June 21-due expansion for EVE Online, called Incarna. The core enhancement provided by the free expansion gives players full-body avatars that allow players to explore space stations (as part of the "Captain's Quarters"). A "New New Player Experience" feature also promises to help teach new pilots more effectively, and all of the game's more than six-hundred turrets are receiving cosmetic enhancements.
Not long ago, EVE Online received an expansion that allowed players to interact with and build upon planets within the galaxy. As it turns out, this was a very important step in making Dust 514 possible.
A brief explanation was given about how players could conquer planets and build infrastructure (in EVE Online). Following the sandbox design ethos, the in-game objectives in both EVE Online and Dust 514 are determined by the players themselves. However, Dust 514 will also include a "High Security Space" for new players that features matchmaking functionality to help teach players the ropes. One player (in EVE Online) might build several sets of structures (like mines or cloning facilities) and defenses on a planet. Another faction might hire a group of mercenaries to conquer the planet, but it's up to them to decide which structures to attack and secure. Capturing a cloning facility on an enemy planet, for example, will enable that faction to more easily create and deploy troops to the front lines. Mercenary corporations formed with friends in both Dust 514 and EVE Online can be enlisted to carry out planet-side portion of the missions, which are played out in sessions of Dust 514 that will accommodate between thirty and forty players at a time, and last an average of twenty minutes.
Some examples were also shown of how Dust 514 will let players customize their character and choose whether to be a specialized pilot (vehicles are also customizable), logistics specialist, or heavily armored infantry. Equipment, weapons, vehicles, armor, and more can be purchased via the EVE Online's primary or secondary (player-driven) market.
Dust 514 aims to add another layer of depth to the (already incredibly deep) universe of EVE Online. Both games compliment each other like two sides of the same coin, with the EVE Online players focused on interstellar control, and Dust 514 players focused on capturing land, riches, and resources by engaging in planet-side firefights.
It will be interesting to see how the PlayStation 3 community reacts to a massively-multiplayer shooter that's directly tethered to such an intricate MMO. Nothing quite like it has been done before, but it seems like CCP's careful and incremental approach to expand the EVE Online universe to a home console via Dust 514 could be a real boon for gamers who want to participate in battles whose outcomes have overarching impact on a huge, persistent galaxy.
Dust 514 is headed exclusively to PlayStation 3 in the Summer of 2012.

FLASHBACK: The Supremes Record 'I Hear A Symphony'
Friday, September 21, 2012
It was 37 years ago Saturday (September 22nd, 1965) that the Supremes recorded their Number One hit, "I Hear A Symphony." The song was written by Holland-Dozier-Holland -- the team responsible for the group's previous Number Ones, including "Back In My Arms Again," "Baby Love," and "Come See About Me."
Prior to releasing "I Hear A Symphony," the Supremes' string of five straight Number Ones was broken when their single "Nothing But Heartaches" stalled at a disappointing Number 11. Co-writer Lamont Dozier recalled that the failure of that single to dent the Top Ten forced Motown founder Berry Gordy to look outside the songwriting team to find the Supremes next hit. That spurred the team into producing a future classic.
Dozier recalls that, "It was humiliating. . . it taught us humility (and) we started frantically looking for new ideas. . . Brian (Holland) was playing this melody. . . it was sounding sort of classical to me. . . Eddie (Holland) took it and ran with the lyrics." "I Hear A Symphony" hit Number One on November 20th 1965. It remained in the top spot for two weeks.
Although Holland-Dozier-Holland were never too self-congratulatory with their many Motown successes, years after its release Brian Holland says that the lyrics to "I Heard A Symphony" actually reduced him to tears: "Only one song ever really got me. I talked to my brother about it years ago, it was 'I Hear A Symphony.' Somehow, I was coming out of a health club, and it was on the radio. And then I just start taking in the lyrics, (I) pulled over and my eyes started tearing up, y'know what I mean. There were some hell of a lyrics on that, man. 'Cause it kept going on and building. What he did, he built upon top of emotion on top of emotion -- which really got me. 'I hear a symphony. . . as you talk to me. . . (laughs) as you touch me. . . as you. . .' Y'know what I mean? You just build upon emotion and it really got to me."
Former Supremes member Mary Wilson says that although she still enjoys performing many of the Supremes hits in concert, "I Hear A Symphony" is one she admits is too tough to sing: "I sing all of our songs, but some of them I can't sing. Some of them were so much Diane (Diana Ross) songs -- y'know, so much her --that it's hard, 'cause I can't sing 'I Hear A Symphony.' I mean, I try, but I just can't sing it, and I just think that they were just such a match with Diane and Holland-Dozier-Holland."

Part 1 of this post was last week and detailed strategies for assisting your child with executive functioning skills. If you missed it, take a look back - the post included strategies for helping your child be more organized, structuring your home environment for the benefit of your child, the utilization of tools and visuals, and some reminders about consistent parenting and positive reinforcement. Please take a look back if your child needs work in any of those areas.
For strategies to support study skills, task completion, increasing working memory skills, and supporting emotional and behavioral regulation, keeping reading.
Study Skill Strategies
Study skills encompass many executive functioning skills such as organization, time management, the ability to prioritize and plan, task initiation, sustained attention, metacognition, and goal-directed persistence. In order to support positive study skills, students need a supportive environment that includes adult assistance in following a reliable routine as well as physical tools. A daily schedule for independent study times at home and at school helps your child to create a habit of studying and over time, your child will learn to follow this routine independently. Help your child choose a time and place that he will be able to focus best. Help your child create a list of work that needs to be accomplished. If your child uses an assignment notebook (which is strongly recommended in grades 5 and up), help your child to think through how to prioritize what needs to be accomplished first. To assist with sustained attention during study time, you may need to sit with your child to provide visual or verbal reminders to stay on track. Providing encouragement and praise can also help your child maintain focus and motivation toward the task. Alarms and timers can be helpful for some children who need a concrete example of time. As your child practices this strategy, you will be able to provide less and less supervision.
Tasks that are long-term or open-ended are the most difficult for people with executive functioning weaknesses. These types of tasks require appropriate planning and persistence and can be easily overwhelming to your child. The first thing you can do in this situation is to make sure your child understands what the expectations are for the task. It may also be helpful to provide your child with some ideas or a sample of what the project may ultimately look like. Help your child structure the task by offering choices and creating a template that he can follow and expand upon. This is not to suggest that you take over or do the project for your child, but guiding him through the completion may be necessary to systematically teach the executive functioning skills required to be successful in this case. To encourage metacognition (which is the ability to reflect on your own thinking), model and teach how to problem-solve the task by brainstorming, organizing and constructively evaluating the pros and cons of ones own ideas. You can use a calendar to plan out the parts and completion dates of long-term projects and provide reminders as your child needs them for when these dates come due. Remember, these skills are not natural for the individual that struggles with executive functioning weaknesses, so as frustrating as it is to sound like a broken record, your child needs to hear that message until it is automatic in his own brain.
Children with executive functioning weaknesses are often unable to use future goals as motivation and struggle with the concept of time, so he will likely need more positive reinforcement and more monitoring with smaller rewards for completion of steps of the project rather than just focusing on the end goal and its rewards. Utilize small "rewards" for completion of parts of the projects such as an activity your child enjoys (getting to pick the game the family plays at game night that week, going out to eat at their favorite place, etc.) and have a larger "reward" for the ultimate completion of the project (going to the zoo, gaining a coveted privilege, etc.).
Increasing Working Memory Skills
Working memory is an executive functioning skill that involves your child's ability to focus, absorb information, and sustain attention through distractions, and then using the information to carry out a task. Skills such as note-taking, completing multi-step problems, reading comprehension, learning and recalling information in short-term memory, and keeping track of materials all require working memory. The first step is to increase your child's attention to the information that must be remembered. This might require you to modify the way the information is presented (think added visuals, explanations, providing information that helps your child connect the content to something they already know, etc.). Work to limit external distractors (noises, large amounts of activity in his area, etc.) and consider internal distractors (emotional concerns, worries, etc.) that may impact your child's ability to focus. Using mnemonic strategies is one way to help your child remember things. Other strategies include rhymes, visualizations, songs, and stories. Utilizing tools such as charts and timelines can be helpful to attach meaning to new information. For reading comprehension specifically, teach your child how to take notes about what he is reading to create a structure that facilitates reflection. To support long-term retention, utilize strategies such as reviewing and rehearsing information and do so in multiple modalities so that all the senses are involved (sight, sound, smell, tactile (movement). Some examples for reinforcing the letter recognition of "Z" for a pre-schooler are to have your child draw pictures of the letter Z, make up stories about the letter, sing songs about it, try to form your body in the shape of the letter, etc. An example for an older child who is learning about the constitution would be to read through some text about the constitution, watch and listen to an online video about it, find something unknown or interesting that is compelling about the writers of the constitution, listen to a song that connects some of the content to your child's everyday life, etc. If you don't have time or unsure of how to obtain this information, brainstorm with your child. The very process of trying to find more information is helping your child to engage in the material. The more senses that are incorporated in the learning, the better!
Strategies To Support Emotional and Behavioral Regulation
Although executive functioning skills are known to impact academic achievement, they are also an important part of social and behavioral functioning. Children that have weak executive functioning skills also often struggle with emotional regulation/control, flexibility in thinking, impulsivity, and monitoring one's own behaviors. To assist with emotional control, help your child identify the behaviors that are difficult for him using his own words (Example: "I get really angry and want to run away from things.") and help your child identify potential triggers for the behavior (Example: "When someone says something mean or doesn't listen to me"). Teach your child a rule that can be followed when the trigger is experienced, such as using self-talk or another self-calming strategy (Examples: count to ten, do some deep breathing, tell yourself that what the other person is saying doesn't carry the meaning you think it does, etc.). Do some role-playing with your child to help this to feel more natural and automatic. You can also create social stories tailored to a specific situation to describe how it can be handled best. If you are around when a trigger occurs, use a visual, verbal or physical cue to help your child recall the rule you came up with. To help your child be more sensitive to others' reactions to his behaviors, teach him how to monitor others' facial expressions and body language. This may ultimately become the cue to remind your child to follow the rule (Example: When my hands get sweaty I know that I am starting to get angry and need to walk away and count to ten). To help your child to see another individual's point of view, role-play the situation from another perspective. Over time, you should see improvement in your child's ability to control his behavior, which will have positive impacts on his social relationships and overall functioning.

To help clinicians discuss breast cancer chemoprevention options with patients at the University of Pennsylvania Abramson Cancer Center, Dr. Armstrong and her colleagues are developing decision-support tools to disseminate to primary care practices. These tools will allow clinicians to take information from a patient's health-risk appraisal, looking at factors such as family health history and reproductive risks, and link it with a decision-support tool built into the center's electronic medical record system.
The approach is being piloted in several clinical settings and is expected to be rolled out more widely next year. The hope, said Dr. Armstrong, "is that we can get to a point where we can say that these are the women who will receive the greatest benefit from raloxifene or tamoxifen; they are way over the threshold for absolute benefit and should be offered the medication."
If such an approach can be shown to reduce breast cancer mortality, she continued, "I think it will produce a significant impetus for health care providers to be more innovative about how we can really individualize what we do for our patients."
