Dive into learning with Bubble Guppies: Animal School Day! This educational app brings to life a silly, swim-sational school day with the Bubble Guppies, allowing kids to join Molly, Gil, Mr. Grouper and all their fish-tailed friends!
Bubble Guppies: Animal School Day teaches kids all about animals and allows them to take part in a fin-tastic day of play at school! Through a series of interactive games, kids will learn about animal diet, animal habitats and animal attributes- what penguins like to eat, where baby giraffes live, and what zebras and clownfish have in common (stripes!). As kids follow any of the ten featured animals and complete an Animal School Day, they earn a Gold Star - a Gold Starfish, that is – which rewards them and encourages them to earn more! And along the way, kids will laugh along with the Bubble Guppies' animal-themed jokes such as: What kind of dog has the cleanest hair? A sham-poodle!
In addition to playing through an entire Animal School Day, kids can choose to play one of the four rich and replayable educational games on their own.
• Circle Time: A game about animals attributes
• Field Trip: A game about animal habitats
• Treat Shop: A game about what animals eat
• Lunch Time: A game about what we eat
After every game, kids earn a reward sticker or a toy for the Bubble Guppies' favorite animal – Bubble Puppy! They can then visit and decorate Bubble Puppy's Doghouse to see and interact with the rewards.
Bubble Guppies: Animal School Day is also loaded with features that make this app a must-have in the Education category:
• Learn the names and attributes of 40 different animals
• Earn stickers and toys to decorate Bubble Puppy's Doghouse
• Curriculum developed and reviewed by preschool education expert
• Game instructions delivered by the voices of the Bubble Guppies and Mr. Grouper
• Player profiles that allow up to four children to play and save their progress on the same device
• Kid-tested age-appropriate learning games
So put on your water-wings, and jump in for learning and laughs with Bubble Guppies: Animal School Day!

I wish I could hug you Bridget.
Steph, I love your picture!
I confess I went back to the dentist for the first time in a couple years. I found out I have a cavity--my first ever, which is pretty amazing since I have avoided the dentist like the plague since becoming an adult. What is it like, getting a filling?
Hooray for not-sick days, Mandy! LOL
I haven't been to the dentist since 2004. Oops.
You & Madelyn are adorable Steph!!
I confess I am quite sad now.
Got at email from my mother. She thinks gram has had another stroke. I don't know what's going to happen. Mother can't keep trying to lift her and now gram helps even less. Mother has worsening scoliosis, and needs a knee replacement. When gram falls, she has to call the local fire dept to come the house to help get her back into her wheelchair or the bed.
I'm 250 miles from them and can't do a dam ned thing to help.
(((hugs))) Bridget.
I haven't been to the dentist since I was pregnant with Conner (2006). I HATE missing work for stuff like that. I have sick time and my boss is cool, but it's a remnant from being raised by a factory worker who lost pay if he missed work. I've gotten better about actually going to work sick though...I hardly ever do that any more.
Example: She can tell you 6 x 7 = 42, or 7 x 8 = 56. But if you ask her to say her times tables by 7's, she can't. So she can't remember the steps to transition from wheelchair to walker to go to the bathroom. Feet under knees, put left hand on walker handle, put right hand on walker handle, lean forward and rock, push up to standing. She has to be reminded of the steps EVERY TIME, frequently forgetting to visually check her left hand and foot positions since feeling and control are limited.
I hate AARP. They suck the money out of my parent's accounts and don't do jack crap. They've cut off nursing care and therapy just like Medicare, and don't help at all with the hundreds of dollars of prescriptions gram takes daily.
I am so sorry Krista
Dani (6) and Chris (4)
(hugs) for Krista and Bridget!!
I confess -- I love Audrianna! lol.. She was sitting on my moms bed with her while I was in the bathroom shaving my legs...
I heard my mom start singing "If you're happy and you know it" except the verse that I sing to Audri as "Shout Hooray" my mom sings "Shout Amen"...
As soon as my mom started singing that part Audri started making noises like from the Excorsist,
It was hilarious!
Just popping in to say that I'm so sorry Bridget and Krista. These are such difficult things that you are dealing with.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
I'm so sorry, Krista. Big hugs...
Ashley, I laughed out loud at your post. Haha!
I attempted to take the twins to their first movie in a theater today, at the Baby Brigade matinee of Alice in Wonderland with Demigraf and her son. It worked for a little over an hour, but we'd already been in the car for almost two hours, and the twins started running around. I was willing to let them wander through the mostly empty aisles, but when DS headed up toward one exit door and DD went down the stairs toward another, I had to scoop them up and leave.
It was a nice day, though, so we went to two different parks and ran some errands.
I confess our washing machine is broken, and rather than spend the time in a laundromat, we've been taking our clothes to a laundry service that charges by the pound for wash and dry. It's actually not that much more expensive than doing it ourselves would be. Our new washing machine is on backorder, and I only have four pairs of underwear and three work outfits that fit my burgeoning shape.
Thank you! You should see the pouty face Ronin I didn't put in. It is so funny. Our second playground today was right next to some train tracks, and they were doing a major construction project on the tracks, so Ro got to see TRAINS AND CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT going back and forth on the tracks the whole time we were there. Every time one went behind a tree, he pouted, and every time a new one came by, he grinned.
Ah, what the heck:
I'm getting really excited now about meeting little Soren, too. I can't wait to see what he's like.
I love the new pics Lydia! There's something about Claire that reminds me of Mia. None of their individual features are similar though...maybe it's something in the face shape?
Which reminds me, it's been a billion years since I posted any pics.
I confess I love the new Lady Gaga & Beyonce video. So outrageous.
I confess that all this baking is making me chubby. I need to get a less fattening hobby.
Oh Bridget I'm so sorry. I hope this new chemo does the trick. My mama has horrible burns from her radiation.
Lydia, that shirt looks so great on Claire! And the pouty pic of Ro is awesome!
I can't believe I go back to work on Monday. BooHiss.
Lydia makes beautiful babies.
Sarah, I love baking but don't because I'll eat all of it. I guess it's a good thing I'll be working in a bakery soon.

As gun violence continues to claim lives on Chicago's streets and a national conversation has grown louder about access to high-powered weapons in the wake of Connecticut's Sandy Hook elementary school shootings, Cook County commissioners signed off on a tighter gun-control package Tuesday.
During the regular board meeting, commissioners approved the package introduced by Board President Toni Preckwinkle, calling for firearms owners to report the make, model and serial number of lost, stolen, sold, transferred or destroyed firearms to the sheriff within 48 hours and empower the sheriff to share that information with his local law enforcement counterparts.
Violators would face a fine of at least $1,000 fine.
The ordinance takes effect in August.
The goal is to take aim at straw purchasers — in the business of legally purchasing the guns and reselling them to criminals that have wreaked havoc in Chicago and some suburbs.
Last year, Chicago saw 500-plus homicides and the violence has spilled in to the new year — with one of the most recent killings claiming the life of Hadiya Pendleton, a South Side teen gunned down in a park just days after attending President Barack Obama's inauguration.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel is pushing for similar measures, including jail time for violations.

Other NSAIDs include aspirin and aspirin-related drugs, ibuprofen (Motrin), indomethacin (indocin), naproxen (Naprosyn), diclofenac (Voltaren), sulindac (Clinoril), ketoprofen (Orudis), etc. Valdecoxib works by altering the production of prostaglandins, chemicals manufactured by the body that promote the inflammation of arthritis and cause the pain, swelling and tenderness of arthritic joints. Valdecoxib, like the newer NSAIDs celecoxib (Celebrex) and rofecoxib (Vioxx), blocks one of the enzymes that makes prostaglandins (cyclooxygenase 2), resulting in lower concentrations of prostaglandins. As a consequence, pain, swelling and tenderness of joints due to arthritis are reduced. Valdecoxib (like celecoxib and rofecoxib) differs from most other NSAIDs in that it causes less inflammation and ulceration of the stomach and intestine (at least with short-term treatment) and does not interfere with the clotting of blood.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: No
PREPARATIONS: Oblong white tablets containing 10 or 20mg of valdecoxib.
STORAGE: Valdecoxib tablets should be stored at room temperature, 59-86 °F (15-30 °C).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Valdecoxib is used for the relief of pain, fever, swelling, and tenderness caused by osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, but it does not prevent the destruction of joints by the arthritis. Valdecoxib also is approved for the relief of pain of menstrual cramps (primary dysmenorrhea).
DOSING: For osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, the usual approved dose of valdecoxib is 10 mg once daily. For dysmenorrhea, the dose is 20 mg twice daily. Valdecoxib may be taken with or without food.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: NSAIDs can reduce the actions of diuretics such as furosemide (Lasix) and hydrochlorothiazide (Hydrodiuril) in some patients and lead to retention of water.
Fluconazole (Diflucan), ketoconazole (Nizoral), and lithium (Eskalith) may increase the concentration of valdecoxib in the body by inhibiting its breakdown in the liver.
PREGNANCY: In pregnant animals, valdecoxib has been shown to cause fetal abnormalities. Although the use of valdecoxib by pregnant women has not been studied carefully, fetal abnormalities have been reported in women who took valdecoxib during pregnancy. Valdecoxib should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Valdecoxib should be avoided during late pregnancy. Valdecoxib should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Valdecoxib should be avoided during late pregnancy.

It's a familiar mantra in the NFL this time of year, "Hope Springs Eternal" in training camp. But for Lions fans who have "Been there, done that" I'm going to provide you with five tangible reasons why the Lions will be much better than last year's 4-12 mark. In fact, I believe this year's team has an opportunity to go 10-6 and win a playoff game. And below you will find the top five reasons for fan optimism heading into the 2013 season.
1. Ndamukong Suh With very few bright spots in 2012, GM Martin Mayhew called Suh one of the only players who made a noticeable improvement on defense at the end of last year. But that is just the beginning of the new and improved Suh. As he enters his 4th season in Detroit, the 307 LB defensive tackle has taken a much more proactive leadership role on a team that has been hampered by a lack of character. Suh is even mounting a campaign to become a captain this year - something players on both sides of the locker room welcome from a guy with so much talent, who can truly be a difference maker.
2. Nick Fairley The fact that he has Suh next to him is reason enough to believe Fairley will continue to ascend toward his full potential. But it was an off season commitment to work harder and maximize his effort to meet his ability that has Jim Schwartz singing the defensive tackle's praises calling him "Very impressive" for reporting in great shape.
3. Reggie Bush After the hurry up and wait nature of the Jahvid Best drama, it's just a breath of fresh air for the Lions to finally have a legitimate threat to not only run the ball, but catch it out of the backfield. But I would be remiss if I didn't include Joique Bell and Mikel Leshoure in the conversation. Between the three of them, Scott Linehan has a wealth of weapons and options (consider the two back set) that will force opposing defenses to respect Detroit's ground attack, rather than just double up and Calvin.
4. Chris Houston As if going up against Calvin Johnson in practice isn't enough to make anyone better, the 7th year cornerback out of Arkansas was the only player in the Lions defensive backfield to start more than 6 games last year - which means he didn't get much help. This year that all figures to change for Houston who will have, in addition to a presumably healthier Bill Bentley, the addition of veteran safety Glover Quin and a developing talent in Darius Slay to help him out. Of course forcing turnovers is always the key, but with younger, faster defensive ends - he should be able to surpass the 5 picks he had in 2011 - instead of the paltry team leading two interceptions he finished with last season.
5. Riley Reiff As frustrating as it may have been last April when the front office used its first round pick on an offensive tackle - because it wasn't a pressing need - it is now. After playing in all 16 games in his 2012 rookie season, Reiff will fill the void at left tackle after Jeff Backus retired. He not only looks just like him, but he appears steady and talented enough to slide right in and do one of the single most important jobs on the field and that is protect the Lions $76 million dollar man who is just 2,903 yards shy of breaking Bobby Layne's franchise passing mark.

Rochel Roland is the Chief Bath Mixologist and founder of Joyful Bath Co. Taking a bath is one of her favorite things to do along with short track speed skating, walking her dog, eating, sleeping and concocting. She has always had a passion for organic, tactile processes–makes me feel alive and good inside.
In kindergarten Rochel collected rocks, leaves and other treasures in a Band-Aid tin and used my cool metal chemistry kit to see what she could create. As she got older, she traded in my chemistry set for a camera and nurtured a passion for photography. Rochel was amazed by the process of mixing the chemicals and watching the images appear on paper, seemingly out of nowhere. And as an art major in college, she created sculptures using clays and glazes that she made from spending hours testing various combinations of clays and minerals, some that she dug from the earth herself.
After graduation Rochel started her professional photography career, but ten years later, she still longed to mix and create, and at night pursued a Masters in agronomy—soil science—the study of the clays, minerals and elements found in soil. During that time she started every morning with one of her favorite things, a bath. Unhappy with the bath products she found on the market, made with too much fragrance, oily residue and filled with unnatural chemicals, it came to her...why not mix clean, organic salts and essential oils and make her bath potions?
So after an enjoyable twenty-year career in the advertising and corporate photo biz,she took her passion for mixing and creating, her love of baths and her experience in business and combined them all into the ultimate concoction. And the Joyful Bath Co came to be!

I've always been a big Case Logic fan. I've just always preferred their features, build quality and look. I've bought numerous CL case & bags over the years for that reason.This bag perfectly (and conveniently) holds;(2) camera bodies, Panasonic G5, Olympus E-PL5Four lenses, including a 300mm zoom. Two of the lenses were usually attached to the camera bodies at any given time.Two chargers & cablesExternal flash & electronic viewfinderMisc equipment (SD cards, LED light, mini tripod, etc)Kindle Fire HDThere's also a side strap to carry a full-sized tripod and a weather proof cover that stores in it's own pouch.The interior compartments are highly configurable using velcro tabs.I just returned from a week long trip and the bag performed perfectly. It held the equipment firmly, was relatively small and easy to handle (important in close quarters, like a baseball game), good looking but generic enough not to draw attention.Highly recommended.

This is a good size for the purpose. But I wish they would design one for a laptop camera backpack especially for hybrid slms. they take much less space in a back so other camera laptop bags are big for me. Something in this size with laptop instead of ipad would be a very smart design for caselogic

The new app that allows blind people to listen to an audio readback of printed text is receiving rave reviews after its first day of availability and is being heralded as a life-changer by many people.
Lou Salza's insight:
It was only a matter of time that universal optical character recognition got folded into a smartphone app! The article details the history of OCR from the early days of the first "washing machine sized" device that cost $50,000 to the great news about the KNFB App. It is nimble, pricey & accurate; --it will only get better and cheaper!--Lou
Noble Academy is a very caring, nurturing, and accepting environment for young people
Lou Salza's insight:
Check out this cool video that describes the differences the right school for a child can make: at this school, the difference is learning!--Lou
A new study shows that offering daily before-school, aerobic activities to younger at-risk children could help reduce the symptoms of ADHD in the classroom and at home.
Lou Salza's insight:
Exercise is good for all kids--at any age and it is shameful that so many schools have sacrificed recess minutes and activity periods in order to increase instructional time.
Our children should chase playground ball not state assessment test scores! --Lou
"....Over a 12-week period, Smith and Hoza studied about 200 early elementary school students ranging from kindergarten to second grade that either exhibited signs of ADHD or didn't.
During the trial, students were randomly selected to participate in a group that completed moderate to vigorous physical activity each day before school, or a group that completed more sedentary classroom-type activities.
"Although our findings indicated that all participants showed improvements, children with ADHD risk receiving exercise benefited across a broader range of outcomes than those receiving the sedentary activities," Smith says.
Smith indicates that further studies are needed to better understand the frequency and amount of physical activity that can provide benefits to children and adds that the effects of exercise may be different based on a child's age.
"Despite the number of remaining questions, physical activity appears to be a promising intervention method for ADHD with well-known benefits to health overall," he says.
"This gives schools one more good reason to incorporate physical activity into the school day."..."
These four easy math tips really add up for kids with attention deficit.
1. Concept Over Memorization We learned with our daughters, who have dyscalculia, that memorization of math facts wasn't going to happen. While they got some facts down pat, others never stuck. By teaching the principle or concept over memorization, we gave them the tools to solve larger math problems.
Lou Salza's insight:
Common sense!--Lou
For example, my child may not know 8 x 9 off the top of her head, but she knows that 8 x 9 is the same as adding eight together nine times. She knows that she can add four more eights to 8 x 5, which she knows is 40, to come up with the answer. When a child struggles with math,understanding the concepts behind what she's doing creates a foundation to build on.
2. Turn Off the Timer Pressure has never been a friend to the ADHD brain. Timed math fact tests are intimidating, causing more problems than they solve. My ADHDers complain all the time about how their brains freeze the minute the timer starts, making it impossible to think and be successful. Since memorization is the goal, turning off the timer and letting a child work at her own pace can make math facts more approachable. How to handle timed math fact tests is a great item for discussion and action in an IEP or 504 Plan.
3. Use Scratch Paper Wisely Turning lined paper sideways is a great way to make columns, which helps can make keeping larger math problems easier to work without getting lost in a sea of numbers. It especially helps students with dyslexia and dyscalculia, who often accidentally swap numbers a lot. We taught our kids from an early age to turn their lined paper sideways and to use the lines as columns. Laying out problems one number per column helps them solve math problems with more accuracy. Another option is to have your children create their own columns on blank paper before they start to work a problem.
4. Get Creative Every mind is different, so be creative in helping your child learn math. Triangle-shaped flash cards, while confusing to most of our kids, were a godsend to one of our daughters, who understood the concept of division better than she did multiplication. We used that strength to conquer her weaknesses. Colored markers, salt trays (where our tactile daughter could draw and work math problems in a tray of salt), making pictures out of numbers and math problems — don't be afraid to think outside the box when conventional means fail.
Reading... While accepted as one of the most critical skills required to succeed, it has been terribly misunderstood for much too long..

Acclaimed designer Dana Buchman, the keynoter for our upcoming Virtual Parent Conference, Spotlight on Dyslexia, is more than a fashion icon. Her experience as the mother of a daughter with learning differences fuels her passion for helping New York's inner city children gain access to reading.
Lou Salza's insight:
"......It's not just a hobby for Buchman. She lives it. Nearly two decades ago, her eldest daughter, Charlotte, was diagnosed with learning disabilities.
Like any parent, Buchman wanted to know how to best help her child. What her doctor told her was a shock. Charlotte would best be served by attending a special private school – a school that serves the needs of children who learn differently...."

In a recent report for the National Science Foundation's "Science Nation," NewsHour Science correspondent Miles O'Brien explored how smart phones could help people who are dyslexic with their reading skills. Continue reading →
Lou Salza's insight:
Thank you Matthew Schneps for reminding us: 1.that we are not defined by those things with which we struggle, 2. That reading is not necessarily required for success and accomplishment or intelligence, 3. That technology, thoughtfully applied and integrated can help lower barriers to access and sometimes even level the playing field!--Lou
"Matthew Schneps holds a Ph.D. in physics but his success came with a certain measure of challenge. In addition to being an astrophysicist, Schneps is also dyslexic, which means he joins approximately 15 percent of Americans in a struggle to read.
"When I read, I find it's very hard for me to kind of mentally lock on to the words," Schneps said.
One thing has helped, however — Schnep's smart phone, which helped him bridge the distance between his mind and the written word.
But was the device just helpful to him? Or it could it be helpful to others?
In a recent report for the National Science Foundation's "Science Nation," NewsHour Science correspondent Miles O'Brien covered Schneps' exploration of the smart phone as a better reading device for students.
In an initial study, Schneps monitored 100 students with dyslexia while they read on smart phones to see if it improved their comprehension of science, technology, engineering and math lessons. While it aided some students, not all were impacted.
Schneps then turned to an eye tracker to see if students read faster on a smart phone or on a tablet. Overall, the students tested read faster on a smart phone.
Because people with dyslexia tend to get distracted by many words on one page, the key, according to Schneps, is only having two or three words in a line.
While Schneps still has to uncover why some students benefit from reading on devices over paper, he is committed to finding an alternative for scholars like himself.
"For me, the name of the game is to level the playing field," he said. "To make reading something that's not an impediment to success."
Miles O'Brien has more on this story for the National Science Foundation* series "Science Nation."

The transition from high school to college is a big step for anyone. Here is an in-depth guide on what students with learning disabilities will need for a great transition to college.
Lou Salza's insight:
Important advice, cogent observations-- 'heads up' for our students headed to college--Lou
In college, the American Disabilities Act (ADA) takes over as the legal support for services. "[U]nder the ADA, colleges are required to provide fair and reasonable accommodations (reasonable is defined as anything that doesn't alter the nature of the program) for any student who qualifies. Schools can and do interpret the law differently and they provide varied responses to meet the requirements," notes the mother of a student with dyslexia.
Moreover, "most college professors are not trained in setting up environments for optimal learning," notes Samantha Feinman, Director of New Frontiers in Learning, an organization that specializes in providing high quality education and learning support services to high schoolers and college students. Indeed, many professors are not trained teachers or instructors, and more often than not, they do not have training working with students with learning differences.

The Enrichment Program at Assets might be best understood as "electives" at other schools. There are differences though. To start with, Enrichment consists of classes that are in addition to the Fine Art, Performing Arts, Physical Education, and Technology courses that all students are already scheduled for weekly. Enrichment is scheduled for 50 minutes each day, except Wednesday, and is a time for students to explore other areas of interest or strength. We start by providing students a "menu" during the first week of school of roughly thirty class offerings. Students then rank which classes they are most interested in pursuing. Enrichment classes last for three weeks at a time at which point we rotate to the next session. By the time the school year ends, students will typically have participated in eight or nine different enrichment classes! These classes are not graded, and simply focus on having fun and learning as its own reward.
Lou Salza's insight:
Ryan Masa is the new Principal of the K-8 program at Assets School in Honolulu. There are several programs that distinguish Assets--Ryan writes about the school wide Enrichment Program--inspired by the work of Joseph S. Renzulli and Sally M. Reis focused on the education of gifted and talented learners: <http://www.gifted.uconn.edu/nrcgt/> offering choice and engagement of students' talents and interests at the earliest grades!--Lou
Excerpt from Ryan's K-* Principal Blog:
"The Power of Enrichment
Why was I so excited to see this program in action? Because I think, it's one of the school's most distinguishing features and one that embodies so much of the Assets philosophy. Quite honestly, I've never seen anything like it before.
While we always welcome parent involvement at our school, the power of Enrichment is the student choice. Even our youngest students, our six-year olds, are directing their learning and telling us what they want to study. It's important for children and adolescents to learn that education is not something that happens to you; instead, learning occurs when you are an active participant in the process..."
Unschoolers weigh in on how their lives have evolved, including college, career, and overall happiness.
Overall, 83 percent of the respondents had gone on to pursue some form of higher education. Almost half of those had either completed a bachelor's degree or higher, or were currently enrolled in such a program; they attended (or had graduated from) a wide range of colleges, from Ivy League universities to state universities and smaller liberal-arts colleges."
Lou Salza's insight:
I found this article about the research done by Peter Gray ( Boston College) and Gina Riley fascinating and provocative. If this research is a fair sampling of how students learn unfettered by the requirements and conventions of school, then we have much to re-think, re-view, and re-do regarding school and classroom design. Peter Gray's TEDx about the importance of play in normal development is a key topic in this discussion. --Lou
Can Unschoolers be "College and Career Ready"?
Several themes emerged: Getting into college was typically a fairly smooth process for this group; they adjusted to the academics fairly easily, quickly picking up skills such as class note-taking or essay composition; and most felt at a distinct advantage due to their high self-motivation and capacity for self-direction. "The most frequent complaints," Gray notes on his blog, "were about the lack of motivation and intellectual curiosity among their college classmates, the constricted social life of college, and, in a few cases, constraints imposed by the curriculum or grading system."
Most of those who went on to college did so without either a high school diploma or general education diploma (GED), and without taking the SAT or ACT. Several credited interviews and portfolios for their acceptance to college, but by far the most common route to a four-year college was to start at a community college (typically begun at age 16, but sometimes even younger).
None of the respondents found college academically difficult, but some found the rules and conventions strange and sometimes off-putting. Young people who were used to having to find things out on their own were taken aback, and even in some cases felt insulted, "when professors assumed they had to tell them what they were supposed to learn," Gray says.
I love the start of a new school year.
Lou Salza's insight:
To kick off our new Lawrence School Blog, Head of School Lou Salza contributes a very personal reflection about the start of the new school year. No matter how many he has been apart of, each one still inspires and invigorates him. A Lawrence School parent recently told Lou, "My daughter came home and told me she felt smart." Find out why below.
A peek inside the brains of more than 750 children and teens reveals a key difference in brain architecture between those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and those without.
Lou Salza's insight:
And I thought it was just me!---Lou
".....Kids and teens with ADHD, a new study finds, lag behind others of the same age in how quickly their brains form connections within, and between, key brain networks.
The result: less-mature connections between a brain network that controls internally-directed thought (such as daydreaming) and networks that allow a person to focus on externally-directed tasks. That lag in connection development may help explain why people with ADHD get easily distracted or struggle to stay focused.
What's more, the new findings, and the methods used to make them, may one day allow doctors to use brain scans to diagnose ADHD—and track how well someone responds to treatment. This kind of neuroimaging "biomarker" doesn't yet exist for ADHD, or any psychiatric condition for that matter.
The new findings come from a team in the University of Michigan Medical School's Department of Psychiatry. They used highly advanced computing techniques to analyze a large pool of detailed brain scans that were publicly shared for scientists to study. Their results are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences...."
Lead author Chandra Sripada, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues looked at the brain scans of 275 kids and teens with ADHD, and 481others without it, using "connectomic" methods that can map interconnectivity between networks in the brain.

Many women with ADHD live with a painful secret: "Shame, unfortunately, seems to be the name of the game, for many women I have worked with who have ADHD," said Terry Matlen, MSW, ACSW, a psychotherapist and ADHD coach.
Lou Salza's insight:
"...Even women with advanced degrees in demanding, high-powered positions feel incredibly overwhelmed once they get home, stressed out by all the household details, she said. "They feel like they are living a lie — that their accomplishments are simply due to good luck."
Even for women who understand how ADHD makes daily life difficult, one minor mistake or overlooked task can send them reeling from humiliation — "like simply forgetting to sign their child's school-related paper in time."...."

Do you watch Mistresses? I ask because I think Savi has the most beautiful makeup style. Alyssa Milano who plays Savi on the ABC show Mistresses is a beautiful woman anyway, but the 40 year old looks especially young and fresh faced in the show. Her tricks are these: she wears eye liner and mascara only on her top lid and keeps her eye shadow neutral using brown in the crease and a light matte cream on the lid, another key to her eye shadow is that it's all matte (shimmer highlights wrinkles). Then she wears a rosy blush with pink lips.
Check out the promo and see the beautiful makeup Savi wears:

Despite the official shutdown of most functions of the U.S. government, some citizenship naturalization ceremonies are taking place.
Today, at the Manassas campus of Northern Virginia Community College, 38 people became citizens. A federal worker administered the Oath of Allegiance.
How can this federal function be continuing despite the fact that Congress can't agree on a budget? It's a little known fact that the agency that oversees U.S. citizenship, called U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, is funded almost entirely by the people who want to become Americans. The fees they pay are quite hefty. "It's $595. for a naturalization application," explained Sarah Taylor a district director for the federal agency. "It is $985. for an adjustment-of-status application."
When you multiply those numbers by nearly 700,000 people a year who become citizens, you have an agency that is 95% self-fended, and therefore remains open for business.
The ceremony took place at the college because of an assignment in Prof. Linda Simmons' U.S. Government II class. Her students were asked to figure out a way to create a sense of engagement between the community college and the area it serves.
It was the students' idea to invite people from 24 different countries to their campus for a naturalization ceremony.

Here are some books I've read recently and some I'm currently reading on my iPad
The Whuffie Factor - Tara Hunt: This is a great book on social media and it's value in business. Great real life examples used by Tara! *****
Tribes - Seth Godin: An interesting and in depth look at the power of people. Great points.****
Crush It - Gary Vaynerchuk: I enjoy Gary and his energy. I read part of this on the Kindle and part as a vook The journey with Gary is part of the excitement. I just bought cases of wine from him. It works.****
Everything Counts - Gary Ryan Blair: Gary inspired me to take the 100 Day Challenge. This book contains most of the concepts from the challenge and is refreshing to read. This is a great way to start the year off and get focused on goals and action. ****
Some of the technologies I use in my daily business
Centralized Call Center Technology: Instead of having receptionists in each office during off hours, we now centralize the calls in one place and save money while improving effectiveness
Call Monitoring Technology: In order to assure quality we are now monitoring some of the calls to our offices. This really improves customer satisfaction as agents step up to the plate and managers can better track the quality of service that is being provided.
Blogging Platforms: Wordpress is the easiest and most user friendly platform that I have come across. My agents and managers are starting to create blogs on Wordpress. Next, I want to find someone to assist them in creating and maintaining blogs. WordPress
Some of the coolest gadgets that I am playing with now!
Altec Lansing Back Beat 903 blue tooth headset – Great hands free and wireless way to enjoy tunes at the gym. I use to watch motivational videos while working out as well and kill two New Years Resolutions with one gadget.
Sonos Music System – music in every room with remote control from the iphone. I'm singing throughout the house and day...you don't want to hear me sing!
My iPhone and the great apps that are added on a regular basis still hold my attention and loyalty

Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is a rapid, uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both breasts. It is the most common type of cancer in women, but it can often be successfully treated when it is caught early.
While the number of women who have breast cancer increases with age, the disease can affect women in their 40s and, rarely, women in their 30s. Having a family history of breast cancer is an important risk factor, but most women who develop breast cancer do not have any known risk factors other than their age. Although rare, breast cancer can occur in men.
The most common symptom of breast cancer is a lump or thickening in the breast. Other symptoms include changes in the skin of the breast, spontaneous nipple discharge or bleeding, and scaling or crusting of the nipple.
Treatment for breast cancer depends on the stage of the breast cancer, whether nearby lymph nodes contain cancer cells, and how the cancer cells look under the microscope. Treatment usually includes surgery to remove the cancer. Radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or targeted therapy may also be used to treat breast cancer.

Comments On Aug 03, 2014:Kawi's seem to be notorious for the chains eating through the chain sliders. I convinced myself to spend the extra money on this one and could not be happier. Very strong and extremely durable material. 100 times better than the stock Junkers.

Comments On Sep 27, 2013:Installed new on 2007 KX450F 59 hours ago. It is now very ripe for replacement. Race B Class MX. You do not have to remove swing arm to install if you buy the ones WITHOUT the extra bar that connects top and bottom legs of the slider. Bought the bike used with TM Designworks slider, then put this one on. Will replace with TM Designworks again despite it being rather expensive. It looks good.

Comments On Aug 21, 2013:The chain slider fits great and slides better than any of the ones I've used in the past. At the price point though, I feel it wears a little faster than I would have expected. I'd still buy again.

Metro Atlanta police say they are sharpening their focus on handling large crowds after Monday's explosions at the Boston Marathon.Fulton County Police Assistant Chief Jerry Stiles said that people can expect security to be increased at large events such as Braves and Hawks games."I would expect most definitely there to be heightened security on individuals and vehicles around the site of venues like Turner Field and Phillips Arena. There may be a tightening of things that they are allowed to take in," Stiles said. Stiles said he got a briefing from his officer on Monday -- that officer is a part of the full-time terrorism task force, located on the Atlanta FBI office."We can go long periods with nothing happening, that doesn't mean we have not been vigilant, perhaps we have been so vigilant that we prevented something we didn't know about," Stiles said.Security was also beefed up at MARTA as a precaution.

Introduction to meditation
"In peaceful abiding meditation, we ground our mind in the present moment. We place our mind on the breath and practice keeping it there. We notice when thoughts and emotions distract us, and train in continually returning our mind to the breath. This is how we shift our allegiance from the bewildered mind that causes its own suffering to the mind that is stable, clear, and strong. We proclaim our desire to discover this mind of stability, clarity, and strength by learning to rest in our own peace"
Sakyong Mipham:
Our weekly Learn to Meditate class is a gentle introduction to the practice of shamatha, or peaceful abiding meditation. It includes meditation instruction, short periods of sitting and walking meditation, discussion, with a reception to follow. It is an excellent introduction to both the basics of peaceful abiding meditation, as well as the Baltimore Shambhala Meditation Center.

A West Bloomfield grandmother charged with murder took the stand in her own defense on Wednesday. Sandra Layne told the judge and jury she believed her grandson was going to hurt her.
"I put down the gun," Layne testified.
"Then what happens?" she was asked.
"And I go over to talk to him," she continued.
"And what happens?" she was asked again.
"And he grabs the gun," she said.
In her own words, Layne finally told her side of the story. In May of 2012, she was driving her grandson home. 17-year-old Jonathan Hoffman had just failed a drug test and tested positive for K2, a violation of his probation. He was fearful he was going to jail.
Layne said he became violently angry, kicking the dashboard and trying to take her car keys.
"I grabbed them. I put them down my shirt because I'm afraid he's going kick me out of the car and take my car," she said.
When they got home, Layne sent her husband to walk the dog. Hoffman was demanding $2,000 cash and Layne's car so he could skip town. When Layne said no, she said her grandson became violent.
"Did he strike you?" she was asked.
"In the head," she said.
The 75-year-old went to get her gun, then went back upstairs to Hoffman's room. They fought again.
"I shot the gun," said Layne.
"How many times did you shoot the gun?" she was asked.
"I don't know," she answered.
After pulling the trigger, Layne said Hoffman chased her, so she hid in the basement and only came out when she thought she heard him calling for help and a glass of water. She said she didn't know if he was shot.
"He was like there is no time. Time, it doesn't exist. It's running and it's screaming and it's scary," she testified.
Layne said her grandson went for the gun one more time.
"Why are you shooting?" she was asked.
"I don't know. You just do. I don't know," she replied.
"Were you still afraid?" she was further asked.
"Yes," she said.
Layne mouthed the words "I love you" to her family when she walked by. She couldn't touch them, but she gazed at them every chance she got.
The prosecution will continue cross examination on Thursday morning.

WASHINGTON —The Obama administration is considering an extension of the president's decision to let people keep their individual insurance policies even if they are not compliant with the health care overhaul, industry and government officials said Thursday.
Avalere Health CEO Dan Mendelson said Thursday that the administration may let policyholders keep that coverage for as long as an additional three years, stressing that no decision has been made. Policymakers are waiting to see what rate hikes health insurers plan for the insurance exchanges that are key to the overhaul's coverage expansions.
"The administration is entertaining a range of options to ensure that this individual market has stability to it, and that would be one thing that they could do," he said.
Avalere Health is a consulting firm, but Mendelson said his company was not advising the administration on exchange policy. He said he has had informal discussions with administration officials about the extension, but he didn't identify them.
Health and Human Services spokesman Joanne Peters confirmed that the issue is under discussion, saying: "We are continuing to examine all sorts of ways to provide consumers with more choices and to smooth the transition as we implement the law. No decisions have been made."
Aetna Inc. Chairman and CEO Mark Bertolini also told analysts during a conference call Thursday to discuss quarterly earnings that he had heard the plans may be extended. Aetna is the nation's third-largest health insurer and has about 135,000 paid customers so far through the exchanges.
Aetna Chief Financial Officer Shawn Guertin said in an interview after the call that there have been discussions about whether the plans should be extended again, but he didn't have any more details.
Individual policyholders were hit with a wave of cancellation notices last year because their coverage was less robust than what is required under the law, and many states allowed insurance companies to simply cancel them.
This became one of the most politically explosive issues in the transition to a new health insurance system under Obama's law.

Style rules to be followedBut how do you dress? It 's the battle cry, and the title of the program where the two conductors, experts in style, trying to bring the straight path of sinners and sinners bad taste. But the people who come under their shot, as opposed to what you might think, are not only embarrassing "human" is often simply a matter of people, completely absorbed by a busy life, have refused to carve out some ' of time to think about leaders and combinations, or that have stopped adolescence, when with jeans, sneakers and T-shirts we felt relatively fine, or even, for superficiality or laziness, wrong sizes and cuts wearing clothes unfit for their physical.
Not everyone has the passion for fashion and are willing to invest time and money in order to be always impeccable as celebrities. But what the rules are very basic style? We have selected a few.
Fashion in small doses
Often people who dress worse are those that gather input and modeled fashion slavishly, albeit in a completely free-of-context. One of the most typical examples are the skinny jeans: it is true that "they immediately fashion", but it is also true that not donate at all to the vast majority of people.
Unlikely teenagers
If we feel that a piece of clothing is too "girlish" for us, even though we only thirty years, it is probably true. We do not listen to the hard-working assistant who tries to make us believe the opposite: that head is unlikely that we will never feel at ease. Moreover, even the dress appropriate for the age is a relative concept. We may have only twenty years but we feel great in a suit, almost everything that makes us feel good is worth to be worn.
The black
The black streamlines, and also is almost always a chic and sophisticated. So if we do not have very clear ideas in style and combinations, do not hesitate to use it as a passe-partout, be careful not to look like a funeral decoration and always paying attention to the different shades of black leaders and the juxtaposition of fabrics . .
Who spends more spend less
Only those who have good taste and a strong personality in dress can do business on the stalls of garments to 10 euro. If you do not fit in the category, best to buy only clothes of good quality to avoid the low cost.
Ephemeral trends
Let us always remember that trends, especially the most extreme, usually short-lived. Well then buy a trendy head, but remembering to put it in the basement when the trend is over.
New look
Even a look too neutral experts advise against style: a good match must include at least one item that reflects our personality. Do some test is not too difficult, then: we can start putting in our wardrobe a fancy blouse or a bag in a bright color.
Not only fashion
Let us always remember that the secret of appearance comes from within rather than from outside. Be serene people, positive and balanced, gives us' more light than any expensive accessory.

BOSTON (AP/MyFoxBoston.com) – Federal officials are denying that a suspect is in custody in the Boston Marathon bombings.
A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press on Wednesday a suspect was in custody.
But the FBI and the U.S. attorney's office in Boston dispute that.
The official who spoke to The Associated Press did so on condition of anonymity and stood by the information even after it was disputed.
The official was not authorized to divulge details of the investigation. The official had said the suspect was expected in federal court in Boston.
Earlier, sources told FOX 25 that a suspect could be seen on a camera at Lord and Taylor and that an arrest was imminent. It was reported that the suspect could be seen dropping a black bag in that video.
A source also said that cell phone records had helped investigators identify the suspect.
Photos from the Moakley Courthouse in South Boston as well as video from SkyFox showed a large crowd and a large police presence at the courthouse.
Due to the conflicting reports, FOX 25 was working to confirm whether or not an arrest had been made.
On Monday, terror displaced euphoria at the finish line of the Boston Marathon as two bombs, made from pressure cookers, detonated within seconds of each other.
Three people were killed and more than 170 were injured by the blasts as shrapnel tore through the crowd.
President Barack Obama branded the attack an act of terrorism. Obama plans to attend an interfaith service Thursday in the victims' honor in Boston.
Scores of victims of the Boston bombing remained in hospitals, many with grievous injuries. Doctors who treated the wounded corroborated reports that the bombs were packed with shrapnel intended to cause mayhem. In addition to the 5-year-old child, a 9-year-old girl and 10-year-old boy were among 17 victims listed in critical condition.
