Sunday afternoon the cool place to be (does anybody say "cool" anymore or am I dating myself?) is the McNay Museum of Art to hear the SOLI Chamber Ensemble perform a concert called Leaving Behind Time.
This event is a collaboration between the McNay and SOLI honoring the museum's exhibit called Reclaimed: Paintings from the Collection of Jacques Goudstikker. Opening with works related to Baroque paintings in the exhibition, the program also includes rarely performed music by Dutch composers who suffered under the Nazi regime. Headlining the concert is Olivier Messiaen's touching Quartet for the End of Time, composed during his confinement in a German prisoner of war camp.
The Quartet for the End of Time is the epitome of "cool." For me, during my student years, it was one of those rare pieces that bridged the gap between classical music and avant-garde popular music. I first heard the work in a New York City bar played by the hip chamber music ensemble Tashi!
The work is in eight movements. Only some of the movements use all four musicians. The forces are distributed differently for each movement:
I. Quartet of violin, clarinet, cello and piano
II. Quartet of violin, clarinet, cello and piano
III. Solo clarinet
IV. Violin, cello and clarinet
V. Cello and piano
VI. Quartet of violin, clarinet, cello and piano
VII. Quartet of violin, clarinet, cello and piano
VIII. Violin and piano
The following quotations are translated from Messiaen's Preface to the score.
I. Liturgy of crystal
Between three and four in the morning, the awakening of birds: a solo blackbird or nightingale improvises, surrounded by a shimmer of sound, by a halo of trills lost very high in the trees. Transpose this onto a religious plane and you have the harmonious silence of Heaven.
II. Vocalise, for the Angel who announces the end of time
The first and third parts (very short) evoke the power of this mighty angel, a rainbow upon his head and clothed with a cloud, who sets one foot on the sea and one foot on the earth. In the middle section are the impalpable harmonies of heaven. In the piano, sweet cascades of blue-orange chords, enclosing in their distant chimes the almost plainchant song of the violin and cello.
III. Abyss of birds
The abyss is Time with its sadness, its weariness. The birds are the opposite to Time; they are our desire for light, for stars, for rainbows, and for jubilant songs.
IV. Interlude
Scherzo, of a more individual character than the other movements, but linked to them nevertheless by certain melodic recollections.
V. Praise to the eternity of Jesus
Jesus is considered here as the Word. A broad phrase, "infinitely slow", on the cello, magnifies with love and reverence the eternity of the Word, powerful and gentle, "whose time never runs out". The melody stretches majestically into a kind of gentle, regal distance. "In the beginning was the Word, and Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1 (KJV)
VI. Dance of fury
Rhythmically, the most characteristic piece of the series. The four instruments in unison imitate gongs and trumpets (the first six trumpets of the Apocalypse followed by various disasters, the trumpet of the seventh angel announcing consummation of the mystery of God) Use of added values, of augmented or diminished rhythms, of non-retrogradable rhythms. Music of stone, formidable granite sound; irresistible movement of steel, huge blocks of purple rage, icy drunkenness. Hear especially all the terrible fortissimo of the augmentation of the theme and changes of register of its different notes, towards the end of the piece.
VII. Tangle of rainbows, for the Angel who announces the end of time
Recurring here are certain passages from the second movement. The angel appears in full force, especially the rainbow that covers him (the rainbow, symbol of peace, wisdom, and all luminescent and sonorous vibration). – In my dreams, I hear and see ordered chords and melodies, known colors and shapes; then, after this transitional stage, I pass through the unreal and suffer, with ecstasy, a tournament; a roundabout compenetration of superhuman sounds and colors. These swords of fire, this blue-orange lava, these sudden stars: there is the tangle, there are the rainbows!
VIII. Praise to the immortality of Jesus
Large violin solo, counterpart to the violoncello solo of the 5th movement. Why this second eulogy? It is especially aimed at second aspect of Jesus, Jesus the Man, the Word made flesh, immortally risen for our communication of his life. It is all love. Its slow ascent to the acutely extreme is the ascent of man to his god, the child of God to his Father, the being made divine towards Paradise.

In $25M university gift, billionaire bets on blindness cure
Las Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn is donating $25 million to the University of Iowa to accelerate the search for cures to rare eye diseases such as the one that hampers his own vision.
The billionaire chairman and CEO of Wynn Resorts Ltd. will pay the gift over five years to support the university's Institute for Vision Research, which was renamed Thursday in his honor.
The institute is a leader in genetic testing for eye disease and is seeking to develop gene and stem cell therapies that could someday restore vision for patients.
Wynn has retinitis pigmentosa, a disease that affects one in 4,000 people and causes night blindness and weakness in peripheral vision.
The 71-year-old says he's thrilled with the scientific progress that's been made in the field.

Despite representing different stages of human evolution, it looks like European Homo Sapiens might have had a penchant for a little Neanderthal booty. Or vice versa.
Two new studies show that humans and Neanderthals overlapped by about 5,000 years in Europe, and, like, hung out, if you know what I mean.
Scientists re-analyzed two teeth and a jaw bone using CT scans to reach the conclusion. In the '60s, scientists believed the remains came from Neanderthals. But two new analyses published in Nature show that they are actually human.
The teeth place the earliest known European Homo sapiens in a cave in Italy 45,000 years ago. The jaw suggests other modern humans existed in what's now the United Kingdom 44,000 years ago. The scientists say humans quickly made their way across Europe.
Neanderthals existed until about 40,000 years ago, which would mean an approximately 5,000-year overlap and raises the possibility that some, ahem, *relations* between with ancient and modern humans occurred.
An analysis of the Neanderthal genome last year found that up to 4 percent of our modern human DNA is made up of Neanderthal DNA, strongly suggesting that the two had mated probably in the Middle East. Now it looks like that may have happened even more recently in Europe as well. Those charming Neanderthals, who could resist?
The studies also beg the question: how many other assumed Neanderthal remains are actually from modern humans? [Discovery News; Image: Stefano Benazzi]

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Los Angeles Kings, meet the hangover. You're not going to like him.
But defenceman Drew Doughty figures he has something better than a couple of aspirins and a glass of tomato juice: a visit tonight by the Vancouver Canucks.
"Waking up this morning knowing we're playing Van, everyone is so pumped to get out there and get after them," Doughty said after the struggling Kings had a spirited morning skate in suburban El Segundo. "It's going to be a physical matchup, which everyone loves. At the same time, you're getting banged and giving it back. There's nothing more rewarding than beating a team that's won the (Presidents' Trophy) the last couple of years in a row. So we're really looking forward to hopefully do that tonight. A big win tonight against a big team like them would definitely give us a confidence boost."
But there would be nothing more rewarding for the Canucks – for now – than to beat the Kings, who trounced them in five playoff games last April during Los Angeles' rampage towards its first Stanley Cup.
Ironically, Roberto Luongo is expected to play in goal for Vancouver, which lost 4-1 Sunday night in San Jose with new starter Cory Schneider in net. It was here during the playoffs at the Staples Center that Luongo was deposed by Schneider as the National Hockey League team's No. 1 goalie, setting in motion events that led to a mutual agreement between Luongo and Canuck management that he should be traded. Nine months later, Luongo is still waiting for that trade as general manager Mike Gillis sticks fervently to what's believed to be a steep asking price for the 33-year-old netminder.
Luongo could be gone in the next phone call to Gillis. Nobody knows which start for the Canucks will be his last.
"We don't really care whoever they put in net," Doughty said. "We're going to study both goalies. We're going to know their weaknesses and strengths and do everything we can to put as many pucks past them as we can."
But so far this season, the Kings have struggled to put pucks past anyone.
The defending champions are 1-2-1 and have scored just eight goals, a recurrence of the offensive problems that led to Terry Murray's dismissal last season and the Kings' final ranking of 29th among 30 teams in scoring.
But they had no trouble scoring in the playoffs, losing only four times on their way to the Stanley Cup.
As a reward, coach Darryl Sutter and general manager Dean Lombardi brought nearly the entire lineup back intact without adding anyone to the offence. So maybe it's not surprising the Kings are averaging only two goals per game.
Centre Mike Richards doesn't yet have a point and is minus-four in the four games. First-liners Justin Williams and Dustin Brown have only a single assist apiece, and the team's leading scoring is enforcer Kyle Clifford (1-4-5 pts), which is great for Clifford but probably a bad sign for Los Angeles.
Clifford is playing on the second line instead of Dustin Penner, who will be a healthy scratch tonight for the third straight game. The only one more frustrated than Penner is Sutter, who reiterated this morning he has no explanation for defenceman Willie Mitchell's continued absence.
Returning from a knee injury, Mitchell has been "medically cleared" to practise and play but hasn't gone on the ice the last two days. He has been made more conspicuous by the back injury to blueliner Matt Greene.
On top of this, the Kings are struggling for motivation the way nearly every Cup finalist has since the previous lockout.
"The first few games you play, all you can remember the previous atmosphere pretty much at it's highest," veteran defenceman Rob Scuderi explained. "And it's not that the game isn't hard, but you can feel there's less pressure. It's up to each individual to find that competitiveness in themselves again."
Canucks – G Roberto Luongo. You never know when it will be his last game for the Canucks, and he has something to show the Kings after losing his title in Los Angeles.
Kings – C Anze Kopitar missed the season-opener due to injury, but has averaged 20:24 of ice time since and is capable of single-handedly sparking the offence.
Canucks – C Ryan Kesler (wrist, shoulder), RW David Booth (groin).
Kings – D Willie Mitchell (knee), D Matt Greene (back).

Harrisburg Mall to get a makeover
Mall officials hope to attract new stores
The Harrisburg Mall is getting a new look. Mall officials talked about renovation plans and what types of stores it is targeting.
For years Harrisburg Mall hasn't changed as plans to add outside stores and a sports restaurant didn't stick due to financial reasons.
In July, the mall held a ceremony to tear down the unfinished Sega Sports Restaurant.
"I think more stores need to be put in here," said shopper Angela Toscano.
Toscano said she would like to see a Hollister store come to the mall.
"I like Wet Seal and Body Central, They don't have it in the mall," said shopper Amanda Koho.
"H&M I don't know if they have that here," said shopper Terrie Kaster. "I like that store."
In June, Terry Richardson joined a partnership and took over the mall.
There already are 30 stores in place that cater to women, and Richardson said he is hoping to add at least 10 more.
Richardson said more food vendors and stores could be coming, but said, "We generally don't name names until the deals are done."
Richardson said he is confident more stores will bring more shoppers to the mall.
Saturday is considered the busiest day at the mall with an average of 18,000 shoppers.
There is currently 100,000 square feet of vacant space. Richardson said that is because the previous owner created store space that he didn't have the tenants for.
"Our goal is to achieve 100 percent occupancy," Richardson said.
In addition to more retailers, the mall will refocus its security hours to Friday and Saturday evenings, brighten the lights and upgrade security cameras. Cosmetic improvements and landscaping will also be done to the mall.
Those changes are expected to be completed by the holiday shopping season.
New retailers are expected at Harrisburg Mall by next spring.

Texas Sen. John Cornyn is calling on the Obama administration to provide any opinions from Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel on President Obama's legal reasoning for killing American citizens involved with certain terrorist groups.
"The self-described 'most transparent administration in history' owes more of an explanation to the American people on why they can be targeted for execution abroad than legal fluff packaged for and deliberately leaked to the media," the San Antonio Republican said in a statement released today.
Cornyn's comments follow the leak this week of a "white paper" document from the Department of Justice. The memo, originally obtained by NBC News, outlines legal reasoning concluding that Obama has the authorization to kill Americans believed to be involved in al-Qa'ida, including high-level positions within the organization.
The memo adds that authorization also could be given if it is believed an American citizen is participating abroad in al-Qa'ida plots to kill other citizens in acts of terror.
"We recognize there is no private interest more weighty than a person's interest in life," the memo stated. "But that interest must be balanced against the United States' interest in forestalling the threat of violence and death to other Americans."
Now, Cornyn is calling for more information from the Justice Department.
"The Obama administration must immediately release all legal opinions explaining the President's authority to execute American citizens abroad to Congress," said Cornyn, one of the leaders of bipartisan efforts to make federal government documents more transparent.
The memo's release has led critics on the Right and Left to question the Obama administration's stance on anti-terrorism tactics. In 2008, Obama campaigned against the national security policies of George W. Bush, including intense interrogation tactics. But he has been criticized by some civil libertarians for adopting many of the Bush-era tactics and security policies.

Foglia provides highlights for Panthers
CASTLETON, Vt. – Shane Brozowski (Rensellaer, N.Y.) threw for 400 yards and four touchdowns for the fourth time in his career, leading Castleton State College to a 35-7 win over Plymouth State University in non-conference football action on Saturday afternoon at Spartan Stadium.
The win was the first for Castleton over a non-conference opponent in its brief history and came in front of nearly 3,000 fans on military appreciation day.
Brozowski, who now gone over 400-yards eight times in his career, connected on 18-of-25 attempts in the first half for 308 yards and three touchdowns, staking the Spartans to a commanding 28-7 lead at halftime. The senior quarterback hooked up with Kevin Alberque (Ridgefield Park, N.J.) for all three first-half strikes, tying the program record. Alberque led six Spartan receivers with six catches for 139 yards. Junior Brandon Boyle (Springfield, Vt.) caught five passes for 99 yards and a touchdown and senior Tyler Carpenter (Fort Edward, N.Y.) added four catches for 84 yards, while rushing 12 times for 55 yards and a touchdown out of the backfield.
Senior Andrew Foglia (Montauk, N.Y.) led the Plymouth State ground game with 96 yards and the lone Panther touchdown on 20 attempts. Quarterback Jake Tyler (Maynard, Mass.) added 43 yards on 13 attempts and freshman Bemnet Banks (Springfield, Mass.) saw six carries in the second half for 40 yards.
Castleton wasted little time displaying its vaunted offense as Brozowski needed just four plays to register the first touchdown of 2012. After a rush and two first-down strikes to Boyle and Carpenter, Brozowski hooked up with Alberque over the top of the defense for a 49-yard touchdown on the game's first drive.
The Spartan defense – which was gashed for nearly 300 yards by the Panthers last season – held Plymouth State scoreless over its first four possessions, forcing a pair of three-and-outs. Brandon Bergeron (Hartford, Vt.) also had the first of his two interceptions on the opening Panther drive, while Josh Osborne (Island Heights, N.J.) and Cody TanCreti (Hartland, Vt.) stopped the Panthers on downs on the final drive of the quarter.
The Spartans opened the second quarter in the same fashion as the first, rattling of a four-play, 66-yard touchdown drive in just one minute and 29 seconds, capped by a Brozowski-to-Alberque touchdown for 57 yards.
Plymouth State answered with a methodical nine-play, 73-yard scoring drive that spanned four minutes and 27 seconds to slice the lead in half with 7:24 remaining before halftime. Foglia was featured heavily in the drive, starting with a 32-yard burst up the middle and finishing with a four-yard plunge off the left tackle for the touchdown.
The Spartans strung together touchdown drives on each of its next two possessions, and the defense once again held on downs, this time at midfield on a Todd Carr (Ticonderoga, N.Y.) stuff. Brozowski drove Castleton 80 yards on nine plays in just under two minutes, with Carpenter punching it in from one-yard out to make it 21-7. Then, he followed with a five-play 50 yard drive in less than a minute and a half to push the lead to 28-7. Brozowski found Alberque from seven yards out to finish the drive, but it was an impressive hook up with Denny Wilhelm (Glens Falls, N.Y.) on second and five that went for 25 yards that keyed the drive.
Castleton's final touchdown came on a perfect 65-yard hook up with Boyle, on a mirror image of the two long hook ups with Alberque.
The Castleton defense limited the Panthers to 300 total yards, including 15 tackles from Carr and 10 each from Andrew Pursell (Cherry Hill, N.J.) and Osborne. The Spartans also forced five turnovers as TanCreti had an interception to end the first half, while Carr and Ethan Macrua (Granville, N.Y.) each recovered a fumble.
Senior Louis Montegari (Wanaque, N.J.) and sophomores Chris Smith (Merrimack, N.H.) and Mark Hennessy (Westford, Mass.) led the Panthers with six tackles apiece. Seniors Wyatt Huston (North Scituate, R.I.) and Matt Fiore (Merrimac, Mass.) each had four tackles (three for loss) and one-and-a-half sacks. Fiore added a fumble recovery and four quarterback hurries while Huston chipped in two forced fumbles and three quarterback hurries.
In what was the season opener for both teams, Castleton improves to 1-0 for the second time in program history, while Plymouth State falls to 0-1 for the first time since 2009. Both teams return to non-conference action next Saturday with the Panthers hosting Mount Ida at 1 pm and the Spartans traveling to Endicott for a 12 noon kick-off.

BNP Paribas is likely to be suspended from converting foreign currencies to dollars on behalf of clients in some businesses for as long as a year, according to sources familiar with the matter.
This would be an untested and severe penalty for the French bank accused of persistently violating US sanctions laws.
The New York State Department of Financial Services, headed by Benjamin Lawsky, is near a deal with Paribas on the ban on currency conversions, known as dollar clearing.
The bar would be the first of its kind for a global bank.
The temporary ban is expected to be limited to certain business lines related to the underlying transactions in question, and it would span various geographic regions, one of the sources said.
Business lines that have come under scrutiny include oil trade financing.
"It won't be a death mallet, but it's a serious hit," the source said.
BNP clears hundreds of billions of dollars through New York every day, according to sources, serving customers in trade finance and commodities businesses, custodian accounts and foreign exchange.
Much business worldwide is done in dollars, and dollar clearing is a key banking activity.It is unclear when the ban would take effect. It may be phased in, another source said.
It is also not clear if Paribas has found a workaround to soften the blow, such as identifying another bank to temporarily meet clients' needs.
Lawsky's office proposed the suspension as one condition for not revoking Paribas's license to operate in New York in light of the lengthy alleged violations, Reuters reported last month. At that time the length of the possible ban was not clear.
The bank is also expected to plead guilty to a federal criminal charge and pay nearly $9 billion as part of a larger settlement with multiple enforcement authorities that could be announced as early as next week, sources said.
The bank's chief executive, Jean-Laurent Bonnafe, told shareholders in May that the bank had improved its control operations to avoid sanctions-related failures in the future, without providing specifics.
US authorities are probing whether BNP evaded US sanctions relating primarily to Sudan, Iran and Cuba between 2002 and 2009.
The investigation has turned up some $100 billion in transactions processed by BNP that disguised identifying information in order to pass through the US financial system without raising red flags, Reuters has reported. Around $30 billion of the transfers specifically violated US sanctions, one of the sources has said.
Bank of France Governor Christian Noyer warned earlier this month that a threat to BNP's dollar-clearing operation "could put the smooth functioning of the international financial system in danger."
The bank is one of 50 participants in the Clearing House Interbank Payments System (CHIPS), the largest private-sector US-dollar funds-transfer system in the world, which clears an average of $1.5 trillion in payments every day.
Banking experts have said it is hard to quantify the impact of a temporary dollar-clearing ban. The experts note that it could be hard to win customers back after they have turned to other banks to meet their dollar-clearing needs.
BNP could ask another institution to take on its dollar clearing temporarily as a so-called correspondent bank. But doing so might still result in an exodus of clients and additional headaches for those clients who do stay, according to industry experts.

The former manager for Ke$ha is suing her before the "Tik Tok's" singer's time runs out, so to speak.
DAS Communications is seeking $14 million from the pop star as they believe she is a one-hit wonder who won't be living the high life for long, reports the New York Post.
In a filing placed in the Manhattan Supreme Court, DAS said that Ke$ha is "a very young and inexperienced artist whose 'star' may not continue to rise," and that "although she has made an incredible amount of money in a very short period of time, in large part to DAS' efforts on her behalf, she could just as easily lose money if not properly guided."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
DAS' case is being brought in response to a suit filed against them by the 23-year-old Ke$ha, real name Kesha Rose Sebert, in California for acting as an "illegal talent agent" on her behalf.

CHICAGO—After months of speculation about a possible bankruptcy filing, Bally Total Fitness Holding Corp. says it plans to file Chapter 11 restructuring.
The company announced the plans today after holders of more than 80 percent of its 9.875 percent senior subordinated notes agreed in principle to swap $150 million of the notes, which will mature this year, for new subordinated notes, common equity and the right to participate in a $77.5 million rights offering. Bally must get consents from other bondholders before filing for Chapter 11.
The restructuring will reduce the principal outstanding on the company's existing senior subordinated notes by $150 million.
Stockholders will not receive anything for their shares, the company says.
"This agreement in principle with the consenting senior subordinated noteholders lays the foundation for a restructuring process that will enable us to invest in our clubs and upgrade our business model to provide a superior fitness experience for our 3.5 million members and a top-quality work environment for our 20,000 employees," says Don Kornstein, Bally's chief restructuring officer and interim chairman.
The company's announcement indicated that Bally would complete the reorganization within 60 days of the bankruptcy filing. It will continue normal club operations during the restructuring process and will emerge from Chapter 11 no longer subject to public reporting obligations.
The company also says it expects to file its 2006 annual report by the end of June.

A Secular Beautiful India
On a chilly morning on December 14th 2012 a 20 year old mentally disturbed man walked into the Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut - and shot 20 innocent little children to death. The incident prompted massive soul searching in America and a urgent effort for gun control in the US. For a moment it really did seem like America might move past being a gun crazy nation where 85 year old grand ma's need to own machine guns without questions or background checks .. but it was alas a fleeting moment. After a lot of hoopla the needle on gun control barely nudged a hair and the US remains at least in regards to guns pretty much the same nation as pre Sandy Hook. Most of the gun control activists having cried themselves hoarse eventually gave up.
At the heart of the issue is the US constitution - a truly profound and timeless document in most aspects - it enshrined the rights of ordinary citizens to wage armed war against the government. This can not be understood without the historical context in which the constitution was written. The Americans having gotten tired of Britian's unfair taxation and their inability to shape England's policies resorted to an armed independence struggle. After many bloody battles, the British were finally overthrown and a free America was born. Its founders quite logically viewed the right of citizens to weild weapons and fight for their rights as sacred. Afterall that is how they got their independence - should the American Government at some point in the future become something that the people can't live with - they indeed should have the right to wage war as the freedom fighters did!
Four centuries later the US Government is undoubtedly the most powerful military presence in the world. It has battle ships the size of city blocks and nuclear weapons to destroy the world many times over. And yet the 65 year old graying farmer in Arkansas expects to be able to overthrow his government with a machine gun ... This is the legacy of the 'Right to Bear Arms' from the consitution - the second ammendment. Though its original intent is no longer practical it continues to shape the contours of todays democratic America.
Being from India I have always struggled with this aspect of American life. But it was not until the Sandy Hook shooting that I realized how truly superior the Indian freedom struggle was. Most Indians value and honor their freedom fighters - but few actually appreciate its true greatness and character - that of non violence. In fact you'll find a large contingent in India who would argue that Indians might have been freed far sooner had they all taken up arms ... and yet if they had we would have to live with the bullet's legacy. And in an India of millions of people of different shades and faith that would have been a truly devastating legacy to live with.
The genius of Mahatma Gandhi in insisting upon a non violent movement was not only to prove that such a struggle could triumph - but that for a truly secular democratic form of governance it was the right path to conception. It is that innate non-violence, its quiet strength and the acceptance of all faiths that helped India survive as a new country - that even till date shapes its policies.
If you go to my home town tomorrow in Maharashtra you will see many make-shift temples erected upon the city streets in celebration of Ganesh Chaturthy - and more importantly you will see Hindus, Muslims and Christians decorate the sarvajanik Ganpati and vie to win city contests .. We should be thankful to have been born in such a place and we should be grateful for the thousands of years of spirituality our ancestors left for us in our DNA.
And on that note I wish you all a very Happy Ganesh Chaturthy - may you fight for our India to remain secular and may you fight to preserve everyones right to worship any God they choose.
And on that note I wish you all a very Happy Ganesh Chaturthy - may you fight for our India to remain secular and may you fight to preserve everyones right to worship any God they choose.

Aug 7th: First Day of Infant Room
Aug 8th: Open House. 5:00-6:00pm
Aug 10th: First Day of VPK, School Age back to school, After School care begins.
Thursday, August 10th: First day of class for VPK 2017-2018 and School Age children. We welcome all new students to our center, wishing you all a great school year.
Summer's been great--swimming in the neighborhood pool, playing until dark, going to bed late at night, sleeping in every morning. Now, in a very short time, the routine has to change. What can you do now to make going back to school a pleasure, not a nightmare of nagging and yelling, delaying and dawdling?
Here are some tips for back to school: • Start getting kids in bed early. Begin a week before school gets underway. You can't force them to sleep, but you can see they're snuggled in bed looking at books. Lay out the clothes for the next day and lunch too. • Get yourself up and ready first. If you work outside the home, this step is crucial. All goes more smoothly those first days when you're available to guide your children each step of the way.
Remember your goal: You want your children up and out the door on time, and to move securely through the school day so each can reach his/her academic potential.
You're a busy parent. You might have one maybe even two jobs, attending classes to further your education, or other responsibilities that require you to find child care. While daycare is what most parents are familiar with, a quality early learning center is the best option for parents and their children. For many children, an early learning center is their first experience in a purposefully structured setting with teachers and other groups of children. It's an opportunity for them to learn to share, follow instructions, interact with other children, and soak up the tools they'll need to succeed in the future.
Early learning centers are more than simply places that take care of your child while you're at work or school, they give children the tools to succeed in the future. Here are seven important reasons your child should attend an early learning center.
"Served as a light, refreshing warm weather snack, or as an accompaniment to brunch, these English muffin, strawberry and pineapple treats are delicious."
2 English muffins, split1 (8 ounce) container pineapple yogurt3/4 cup sliced fresh strawberries3/4 cup drained crushed pineapple
Lightly toast the English muffin halves in a toaster. Spread each half with pineapple yogurt. Top each half with strawberries and pineapple. Serve while English muffins are still warm.
"Everything we do improves the lives of children."
Cheap ideas to try at home with your little ones!
DIY tugging box
Use any old box and poke holes in it. From the inside tie a knot on the ribbon or string and pull it through the box. Tie the other end and enjoy tugging at the strings.
Make a robot out of recyclable loose parts found around your house.
Practicing your fine motor skills with pipe cleaners and a colander.

Each year, roughly from May through October, sea turtles visit the shores of Florida and Caribbean beaches to lay their eggs. The mother turtles can be seen laying scores of golf-ball-sized eggs in a hole they make and cover with sand. And when their tiny babies hatch several weeks later (incubation time varies with species, from 45 to 70 days, and occurs mostly in the summer), the babies can be spotted slowly making their way to the sea.
Here are some hotels that have features to appeal to turtle-loving families:
CasaMagna Marriott Cancun Resort and JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa: Located side by side in Cancun, Mexico, the resorts' sea turtle protection program saves an average of 3,000 endangered baby turtles each year. From June through September, marine biologists guide the staff in preparing and caring for nesting areas on the beach. Guests at the resorts are invited to participate in the nightly release of the baby turtles, and can do so by calling concierge to find out if turtles will be released on a given night. Info: casamagnacancun.com and jwmarriottcancun.com.
Disney's Vero Beach Resort: This oceanfront resort in Vero Beach has a Turtle Conservation program that, among other things, monitors sea turtles nests. Families can get in on the fun and learn more about these amazing creatures during the resort's Meet-a-Turtle-Expert daily event. The free event, at 7 a.m. along the resort's beach, offers guests the opportunity to walk along with a turtle researcher and look for clues of sea turtle activities – the turtle moms' big tracks, coming from the ocean onshore and back again, for instance – and watch as the expert marks nests and collects data. Kids can join Turtle Troop, an experience that combines crafts and a walk on the beach to see a sea turtle nest up close. There are also evening presentations for resort guests that explain Disney's overall commitment to sea turtle conservation. Info: disneybeachresorts.com.
Harbor Beach Marriott: Here's one for the adults. When guests kick back with a Tipsy Turtle Cocktail at the Harbor Beach Marriott Resort & Spa in Fort Lauderdale, $1 of the proceeds goes directly to benefit The National Save the Sea Turtle Foundation. Info: harborbeachmarriott.com.
Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa: Guests can witness turtle nesting firsthand during nighttime turtle walks that are hosted by the Loggerhead Marinelife Center nearby. "Loggy the Turtle" plush toys are available in every room for guests to take home as a souvenir, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Info: jupiterbeachresort.com.
La Playa Beach & Golf Resort: The Naples resort's "Love Nesting" package, starting at $279 per night through Oct. 31, features beachfront accommodations; stuffed sea turtle and educational materials at arrival; tickets to the Conservancy of Southwest Florida Nature Center; free valet parking for hybrid vehicles; "Sea Turtle Approved" menu at Baleen with such turtle diet staples as crab, fish and Gulf shrimp; and participation in sea turtle adoption program. Part of the proceeds from LaPlaya's "Love Nesting" package will go toward the adoption of a sea turtle and to support the Sea Turtle Conservancy's efforts for advocacy, education and protection. Info: laplayaresort.com.
The Resort at Longboat Key Club & Lido Beach Resort: The Longboat Key Club in Longboat Key and the Lido Beach Resort in Sarasota are minutes away from the Mote Marine Aquarium. The whole crew can get up close and personal with the aquarium's sea turtles, then visit the Ancient Survivors Exhibit to learn about the issues turtles face in the wild. The aquarium has treated and released more than 100 sea turtles at their rehabilitation hospital and monitors 35 miles of Longboat Key's nesting beaches.

I've always respected teachers. My mother is one.
It was my mother who encouraged my interest in science, who built my confidence and helped me realize my dream of becoming a doctor.
Marshala Lee, M.D., talks to Greenwood, Miss., high-school students about careers in medicine. Lee, a second-year resident in the University of Maryland Family and Community Medicine Residency Program, will be piloting the AAFP's version of the Doctors Back to School program this spring.
My respect for teachers has never been greater than after spending a day in their shoes or, more specifically, a day in my mother's classroom. A decade after I graduated from high school, I recently went back to Greenwood, Miss., to talk to students at my alma mater about careers in medicine.
Doctors Back to School(www.ama-assn.org) is an AMA program that has been around for more than 10 years. Its goal is to increase the number of minority physicians and eliminate racial and ethnic health disparities. The AAFP, with the AMA's permission, has developed its own version of the program, adding information specific to careers in family medicine.
My residency at the University of Maryland plans to pilot the program at middle schools and high schools in Baltimore this spring. The trip home to Mississippi was a dry run.
My previous teaching experience was limited to tutoring in college and working in my residency's program (funded by an AAFP grant) aimed at curbing childhood obesity. On this day in early April, I made six presentations to 11th- and 12th-grade science students -- about 130 of them.
I have to admit, I was nervous. Sleepy teenagers in my first class didn't help, but as the day went on, the students became more receptive, and I got better.
After that first class, I tweaked the presentation to make it more interactive and gave it a "Jeopardy" format.
- A: This standardized, multiple-choice exam is designed to assess a student's problem-solving, critical thinking and knowledge of science concepts and principles.
- Q: What is the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT)?
We put the students in teams of four or five, and the team with the most correct answers earned bonus points toward their next science tests. What I found out is that if you want to keep a teenager's attention, you'd better keep it fun and relevant.
The students I met in Greenwood were smart. These were advanced science classes -- anatomy, biology, chemistry and physics -- that I was talking with. But they also face obstacles. Roughly 90 percent of students in this school near the Mississippi Delta are black teens from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. The majority of them qualify for a free lunch program. The community's teen pregnancy rate is high, detouring many bright kids from college and a better future. They need encouragement and inspiration. Family physicians can provide both.
For my discussion, I used a PowerPoint presentation provided by the AAFP, but I added slides about black pioneers in medicine, such as
- Jocelyn Elders, M.D., the first black surgeon general;
- Ben Carson, M.D., the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins; and
- Mae Jemison, M.D., a primary care physician who became the first black female astronaut.
Again, make it relevant.
Often, teens don't know what they want to do until they see it for themselves. We can be that role model. I told the students that 10 years ago, I was in the exact same spot they are in now.
"I come from where you are," I said. The message is that careers in medicine are not far-fetched, regardless of circumstance. I did it. They can do it. We talked about scholarships, the importance of doing well on standardized tests and the availability of financial aid.
So how did it go? The students' evaluations of my presentations showed that
- 91 percent of them learned something new,
- 41 percent already were interested in careers in medicine and remain interested, and
- 26 percent were not interested in careers in medicine before the presentation but are now.
I look forward to seeing if we get similar results in Baltimore schools that have similar minority populations.
If the AAFP moves forward with this program, would you be willing to go Back to School?
Marshala Lee, M.D., is a second-year resident at the University of Maryland Family and Community Medicine Residency Program.

A Sacramento judge has ordered a juror to turn over his Facebook messages he posted during the trial within 10 days or face jail time.
Sacramento Superior Court Judge Michael P. Kenny said on Friday that juror Arturo Ramirez had 10 days to show the court his postings or face possible contempt charges, the Sacramento Bee reported.
Ramirez was part of the jury in a trial of five alleged gang members who were convicted of beating a man at a gas station in 2008. Defense attorneys for the five requested the postings to see if Ramirez was unduly influenced during the trial.
Ramirez's lawyer, Kenneth L. Rosenfeld, said that his client has no intention of releasing the Facebook posts. "It's a matter of principle and privacy," he told the Sacramento Bee, citing Internet privacy laws. "There's no reason this material should be turned over."
The judge had previously requested the information from Facebook, and its lawyers cited the Stored Communications Act, stating they would need Ramirez's permission to present his postings to the court.
According to the federal Stored Communications Act, disclosure is allowed only if the individual party agrees to it, if it is requested by law enforcement agencies investigating a crime or by court order in an ongoing criminal investigations.
Ramirez allegedly called the trial evidence "boring" in one Facebook post and that he was on the jury of the trial in another missive.
