Banks including Bank of America Corp., Barclays Plc and JPMorgan Chase & Co. won dismissal of antitrust claims in lawsuits alleging they rigged the London interbank offered rate.
More than two dozen interrelated lawsuits are before U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald in New York alleging the banks conspired to depress Libor by understating their borrowing costs, thereby lowering their interest expenses on products tied to the rates. Potential damages were estimated to be in the billions of dollars.
Buchwald yesterday issued a 161-page ruling dismissing antitrust allegations against the banks while allowing some commodities-manipulations claims to proceed to a trial.
"We recognize that it might be unexpected that we are dismissing a substantial portion of plaintiffs' claims, given that several of the defendants here have already paid penalties to government regulatory agencies reaching into the billions of dollars," Buchwald wrote. "There are many requirements that private plaintiffs must satisfy but which government agencies need not."
Libor is a key metric for setting interest rates for trillions of dollars in financial instruments. It fixes the rates under which banks lend money to one another for as little as a day and as long as a year. Rates for 10 different currencies including the U.S. dollar, Japanese yen and British pound are computed daily after canvassing banks that comprise membership panels for each type of money.
Global Probes
Global authorities have been investigating claims that more than a dozen banks altered submissions used to set benchmarks such as Libor to profit from bets on interest-rate derivatives or make the lenders' finances appear healthier.
Barclays agreed to pay 290 million pounds ($441 million) and Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc paid $612 million to U.S. and U.K. regulators to resolve claims. UBS AG agreed to pay 1.4 billion Swiss francs ($1.47 billion).
Other defendants in the civil lawsuits include Credit Suisse Group, HSBC Holdings Plc, Deutsche Bank AG, Citigroup Inc. and RBS.
Buchwald dismissed the antitrust claims because the plaintiffs didn't allege enough facts to show that they were harmed by the alleged misconduct. The judge dismissed some commodities-manipulation claims because they centered on transactions that were too long ago. Other such claims may proceed, she said.
'Public Purposes'
Explaining her decision to dismiss the claims after the regulatory settlements, Buchwald said private cases must be "examined closely" to ensure plaintiffs are "properly entitled to recover and that the suit is, in fact, serving the public purposes."
"The broad public interests behind the statutes invoked here, such as integrity of the markets and competition, are being addressed by ongoing governmental enforcement," she said.
Lawrence Grayson, a spokesman for Charlotte-based Bank of America, and Kristin Lemkau, a spokeswoman for New York-based JPMorgan, declined to comment on the ruling.
The plaintiffs include Charles Schwab Corp., the independent brokerage, and bondholders. Michael Hausfeld, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, didn't immediately return an e-mail yesterday seeking comment on the decision.
The consolidated case is In re Libor-Based Financial Instruments Antitrust Litigation, 11-MD-02262, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

There is a price to pay when not playing on even terms with an opponent.
There is a price to pay when not playing on even terms with an opponent. Devils Lake learned that lesson in a big way on Tuesday as Bottineau scored three power play goals, including two in the final period, to get past the Firebirds 4-1 in high school boys hockey action at Burdick Arena. It was the season opener for both teams. "Our inexperienced showed," Devils Lake coach David Zimmerman said. "We have a lot of work to do in all three zones ... and we need to work on our communication on the ice." Things started out well enough for Devils Lake as the Firebirds, who logged just a 3-20-0 record last season and have high expectations to surpass that record this season. Lukas LaMotte found himself in front of the Bottineau net with no defenders in the vicinity. He corralled a pass from Riley Thomas and blasted a shot past Bottineau netminder Riley Monson to give Devils Lake a 1-0 advantage at 11:45 of the opening period. Jordan Swanson was also credited with an assist on the play. The lead, something Devils Lake did not enjoy much of last season, held up for just over three minutes before the visiting Braves were able to tie the game. Bottineau, which applied plenty of pressure to the Devils Lake defense throughout the contest without getting many scoring opportunities, finally got through when Cody Longie wristed a shot from the high slot past Devils Lake goaltender Holden Kurtz to tie the game at the the 14:23 mark of the first period. Kurtz had stopped Bottineau on each of the first three shots he faced in the game. He later turned in a brilliant play when a Bottineau player skated in all alone in front of Kurtz, who stone-walled the shot early in the second period to keep the score tied at 1-1. But, it was three power play goals, including two in the final period, that proved to be the difference. "We need to learn how to finish off plays," Zimmerman said, " ... three power plays, that was the difference." Kurtz finished the game with 24 saves, including 12 in the final period. His counterpart, Monson, tallied 23 saves in the game. Devils Lake returns to action Nov. 29 when the Firebirds open Eastern Dakota Conference play at Fargo Davies, a state-qualifying team of a year ago. Devils Lake will return home to play Hazen-Beulah the following night. "That's not much turnaround time," Zimmerman said. Bottineau 1 1 2 — 4 Devils Lake 1 0 0 — 1 Scoring Summary First Period Devils Lake — Lukas LaMotte (Riley Thomas, Jordan Swanson), 11:45. Bottineau — Cody Longie (Harrison Aide, Luke Amsbaugh), 14:23. Second Period Bottineau — Amsbaugh (Aide, Longie), 11:01 (pp). Third Period Bottineau — Andrew Hill (Longie, Aide), 1:05 (pp). Bottineau — Hill (Aide), 14:28 (pp). Goaltender saves: Bottineau — Riley Monson 8-9-6 — 23, Devils Lake — Holden Kurtz 4-8-12 — 24. Penalties — Bottineau 4 minors, Devils Lake 5 minors.

A House Republican lawmaker likened the implementation of a new mandate that insurers offer coverage for contraceptive services to Pearl Harbor and the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks against the United States.
Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Kelly (R), an ardent opponent of abortion rights, said that today's date would live in infamy alongside those two other historic occasions. Wednesday marked the day on which a controversial new requirement by the Department of Health and Human Services, which requires health insurance companies to cover contraceptive services for women, goes into effect."I know in your mind you can think of times when America was attacked. One is December 7th, that's Pearl Harbor day. The other is September 11th, and that's the day of the terrorist attack," Kelly said at a press conference on Capitol Hill. "I want you to remember August the 1st, 2012, the attack on our religious freedom That is a day that will live in infamy, along with those other dates.".

ARG!!!!!!! When did morons take over the universe?????
It is estimated that up to half of all fertilized eggs die and are lost (aborted) spontaneously, usually before the woman knows she is pregnant. Among those women who know they are pregnant, the miscarriage rate is about 15-20%.
However, the miscarriage rate is so significant that I would ask these Christians why God would let so many "babies" die and call it a sin when women use birth control and/or get an abortion.
Religions need books because they don't have gods.
Our jails are pretty empty so I guess that would help to fill them up.
Is this level of right-wing.... douchebaggery something that has been around for a while, or is it as new as it seems?
The OP brings to mind the perplexing belief of certain Christians that I know, which is that once the sperm fertilizes the egg, a human soul enters that "body".

Quote from: Quesi on August 02, 2012, 09:07:28 AMI always liked James Jeffords. new england repub. Very different tradition from the tea baggers. They tended to be non-evangelical, WASPy, blue blood elitists. Like the bush family used to be. Conservative in the pro-business sense, not so much the social sense. It was the coalition of fiscal conservatives (IE, rich bastards) and social conservatives (IE uneducated fundies) around 1980 that made the republican party nutzoid. The rich bastards were willing to advance any crazy idea the fundies wanted as long as the fundies supported the rich bastards rigging the system so they could make more money. Now, they are hopelessly fucked.

Construction begins on widening Route 3/28
The budget for the 0.4-mile road widening project is just under $4.1 million. The process is an intricate one, said project manager Don Lyford of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation.
�A lot of utilities need to be moved, both below ground and above ground, before we can do the roadway� he said.
In fact, you won�t likely see much progress this year, as most of the work goes on below ground. Then once the snow begins to fall, work will be halted until next spring. The entire project is expected to be completed by October 2014. But the completed road will be five lanes wide � two travel lanes north and south with a turn lane in between. There will be no concrete barriers or median dividing the road.
This work comes after considerable time and money was spent on a drainage culvert that runs under the R.K. Plaza and Route 3/28, then under part of Merchant�s Auto and Benton Road. The Kmart in Hooksett has flooded repeatedly after heavy rains.
Lyford said that the widening of Route 3/28 will ease some of the traffic backups that occur at rush hour.
�There is a lot of traffic in and out in this area� said Lyford about Route 3/28 between Benton and Martins Ferry. �Benton, Whitehall Road ... a lot of traffic is added and taken away from the system right here.� Once completed, the rush hour backups should be reduced.
While construction goes on, merchants on Hooksett Road have to deal with the effects. For some, that impact is negligible. For Merchant�s Auto, the giant auto dealership right in the middle of the construction zone, business has continued to grow, according to general manager Adam Secore.
�Our numbers have been strong,� said Secore of his dealership�s sales figures during construction. �In fact, they have been some of our best ever.�
Merchants had to deal with the installation of the drainage culvert the year earlier when part of the dealership had to be dug up. According to Secore, outside of one day when power went out, the impact of construction on his business had been minor.
But that�s not the story across the street at Twin�s Smoke Shop. Manager Jenny Lynn Hunter says her business has felt the impact of construction.
�Customers don�t want to deal with it� said Hunter, whose business has seen a decline. �In the long run I know it�s for the good, but right now it hurts.�
Twins lost some of its parking when police diverted traffic into the store�s lot when Hooksett Road was being excavated. Recently, Hunter said, a utility pole was moved in front of the store sign partially blocking its view from the street.

Robert Shiller was surprised when he got the call telling him he'd won the Nobel Memorial Prize in economics — surprised that he'd won (of course), but also surprised that he was sharing the award with Eugene Fama.
"He and I seem to have very different views," Shiller told me. "It's like we're different religions."
In particular, they have very different views about economic bubbles.
"The word 'bubble' drives me nuts, frankly," Fama told me.
Fama believes markets are basically rational. At any given moment, he says, prices reflect the collective wisdom of everyone in the market. If it were clear that prices were irrationally inflated, investors would stop buying en masse — and prevent a bubble from getting out of control, he says.
Shiller, on the other hand, is famous for describing bubbles, and for predicting the two big ones of our time — the dot-com bubble and the housing bubble.
Fama is unimpressed. "What happens each time is the media goes in and finds somebody who predicted it, and that person gets anointed," he says. "You don't go back and look at past predictions and see, 'Is this just luck?' "
Fama says if Shiller could predict, say, the next 10 bubbles, he would be convinced. Shiller says he thinks he probably could predict the next 10 — if he lived long enough.
This is more than an academic debate. If you believe bubbles are predictable then maybe you can slow or stop them. If you think they're hard or impossible to spot, there's not much to be done.
The latest Nobel Laureates will get dressed up next month to accept their prizes in Stockholm. And on stage for the economics prize will be an unlikely pair - two economists who disagree about one of the biggest questions out there. Which is can anything be done to prevent economic bubbles? David Kestenbaum with our Planet Money team tracked down both of those laureates to talk over their differences.
DAVID KESTENBAUM, BYLINE: When Robert Shiller at Yale University got the call that he'd won the Nobel Prize, he was surprised. Surprised to win, but also surprised when the folks on the phone told him who he was sharing the Nobel Prize with: Eugene Fama, an economist at the University of Chicago.
ROBERT SHILLER: That was a complete surprise. He and I seem to have very different views. It's like we are different religions, you know?
KESTENBAUM: How different? Take that term bubble. People use it all the time. There was a famous Dutch tulip bubble in the 1600s.
More recently of course the dot com bubble and our housing bubble where prices came crashing down. You know, bubbles.
GENE FAMA: The word bubble drives me nuts, frankly.
KESTENBAUM: That is Shiller's co-laurate, Eugene Fama. Fama believes markets are basically rational. Sure prices go up, sometimes they come back down. That's normal, he says. Prices reflect the collective wisdom of everyone in the market. So, Fama says what exactly does Robert Shiller mean by a bubble? What is his definition? I asked Shiller.
SHILLER: I give a kind of long-winded definition. It's like a - see, it's like a mental illness. If you look at the American Psychiatric Association's diagnostic and statistical manual which defines mental illnesses, the mental illness definitions consist of a checklist of symptoms.
KESTENBAUM: Here is part of the Shiller checklist applied to the last housing boom. Symptom one: rapidly increasing prices. Check, home prices in Miami basically doubled in a few years. Symptom two: People tell each other stories that purport to justify the bubble. Check, I have a book at my desk from this time period. Title 'Why the Real Estate Boom Will not Bust.' Symptom three: People feel envy and regret haven't participated. Check, I did.
SHILLER: There is an impulse to buy into it because of the swirl of emotions that one feels. Oh I would add one more - the news media are involved.
KESTENBAUM: Thanks a lot.
SHILLER: Well, there were no bubbles before there were news media.
KESTENBAUM: Fama's response to this definition is so what. Lots of things that meet that definition don't end up crashing. Look at Google, for instance. Rapid run up in price, check. There are stories people tell to justify the price, check. Those guys at Google are geniuses - lots of emotion, regret, check. Google used to be $85 a share, it's now over $1000 a share. Fama says if you say something is a bubble, you are basically predicting the price will crash spectacularly. And he just doesn't think anyone can do that.
FAMA: Because I don't think there is anything in the statistical evidence that says anybody can reliably predict when prices go down. So if you interpret the word bubble to mean I can predict when prices are going to go down, you can't do it.
KESTENBAUM: I mention that Robert Shiller is often credited in the press with predicting two bubbles - the stock market crash in the 1980s and the recent housing mess. Fama shrugs.
FAMA: So what happens each time is the media goes in and finds somebody who predicted it and that person gets anointed. You don't go back and look at past predictions and see is this just luck.
KESTENBAUM: So what is your challenge to Robert Shiller? He should predict the next bubble?
FAMA: Right. Not just the next one. You know, statistical reliability means more than two, really.
KESTENBAUM: The next 10?
FAMA: Well, the next 10 would be really convincing. Yeah. Then I'd be convinced.
KESTENBAUM: I put the challenge to Robert Shiller. Could you predict the next ten?
SHILLER: If I lived long enough, yeah.
KESTENBAUM: You do think you could?
SHILLER: I think so. But - yeah. I'm not the most self-confident person.
KESTENBAUM: This is more than an academic debate. If you believe bubbles are predictable then maybe you can slow or stop them. But if you think they're hard or impossible to spot, there's not much to be done. The Nobel committee noted the surprising and contradictory nature of this year's prize, which is perhaps why Shiller and Fama will be accepting their medals next month with a third man. There's a third laureate - Lars Peter Hansen from the University of Chicago. Hansen developed the statistical math for how to resolve debates like this. So maybe there's hope.

Remembering a wonderful night with my dad and a pro wrestler.
A part of my childhood officially closed on Monday.
Before moving to Rolla for the final time in 1974 my family lived in a number of small communities in the bootheel of Missouri, southern Illinois, Alabama and Arkansas.
Much of my youth was lived in the south. We would play in cotton fields and buy Funyuns and chocolate sodas from general stores located right, smack in the middle of a residential neighborhood (no real zoning laws in the little towns I grew up in).
And before I discovered baseball, basketball and football I discovered professional
wrestling on television.
Most of my grade school years were spent in Arkansas, and a big part of every Saturday morning, somewhere between the Jackson 5 and Archies cartoons, the weekly Mid-South Wrestling program aired out of Memphis. So my typical Saturday morning was Trix and wrestling.
Memphis wrestling, even for a pre-teen, was off-the-wall crazy. Among the heels and baby faces that kept you from getting up to get a second helping of Sugar Smacks were Sputnik Monroe, Tojo Yamamoto, Jerry Lawler and...the biggest name of all...Jackie Fargo.
Lawler later called himself the "King of Wrestling." And Memphis was home of another king...Elvis.
But there was a time when Jackie Fargo was the true King of Memphis.
Pretty much every male of all ages in my small world during the early 1970s knew of Jackie Fargo. Jackie was bleached blonde. Sometimes he was a baby face (good guy); sometimes he was a heel (bad guy). But it didn't seem to matter what corner of the ring he was in, Memphis loved Jackie.
And so did I.
Jackie didn't look like the 'after' picture of the before/after magazine ads of the time that showed that poor, skinny kid getting sand kicked in his face before he beefed up and got his revenge. No, Jackie didn't have the John Cena build. No wrestler did back then, except maybe Bruno Sammartino or 'Superstar' Billy Graham (you didn't see them on Mid-South Wrestling; you had to go to the drug store and buy the wrestling magazines to see the 'East Coast' talent, which I did every other week after my folks got paid).
But when Jackie scowled and pointed his finger into into the TV camera to make a threat against an upcoming opponent, you knew somebody was in trouble.
Jackie had skinny arms, skinny legs and a big belly...kind of looked like everybody's uncle of the time.
In fact I had an uncle – actually it was my dad's uncle, Uncle Wheeler – who claimed he had a go with Jackie in the ring.
Everybody's got that 'weird' uncle, and Wheeler was ours. Weird, that is, in a good way.
Now, like many of the males in my family, you really couldn't believe everything that Wheeler would tell you. Call it "creative" truth...or do what we did and just call them Wheeler's stories. But it was sure funny how he told them! Wheeler had one eye that was kind of crooked. He said it was because he went to a wrestling match one night where Jackie Fargo was in the ring. Wheeler said he got so worked up that he, too, climbed in the ring. And, after holding his own briefly, Jackie gave him a rough exit from the ring.
That was a funny story to me, because I saw Jackie do the same thing to other wrestlers every Saturday morning.
One time, around 1971 or 1972 when we were living in Monette, Ark., it was after supper and my dad said, "Come on, help me take the trash out."
I didn't think it took two of us to take the kitchen trash outside to dump it, but I did what I was told.
We got outside and my dad said, "Come on, get in the car!"
Again, I did what I was told, and he took off, laughing. Had he let my mom in on his plans for the night? I have no idea. Knowing him, he didn't.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Let's go to the wrestling matches in Blytheville," he said.
Blytheville was about 25 miles down the road. It was a BIG city (I'm guessing it was probably around 15,000 population at the time, which compared to the tiny towns we'd lived did, indeed seem huge).
I'd never been to a live wrestling card; just saw it in my living room on Saturday mornings. We got to the Blytheville American Legion Hall and the wrestling was as live as it gets.
I'll never forget the sights, sounds and smells. Smelled like smoke and beer. And you knew it was a big event when the lights went down until it was pitch-black everywhere except above and around the ring. The ring had your undivided attention. And I've never heard a sound as loud and authoritative as the ring bell that started and ended matches.
It was all new to me. Obviously, it was very familiar to my dad, who knew his way around the place quite well.
I knew some of the wrestlers on the card. But then they announced the main event: Jackie Fargo vs. ...I don't have a clue. It didn't matter, because JACKIE FARGO was getting set to come down the isle to the ring!
Wide-eyed, I looked at my dad. He got out his checkbook, gave me a piece of paper and a pen. While he went to get himself a brew and me a Coke, he told me to go on up and get Jackie's autograph.
Are you kidding? Actually MEET and TALK to Jackie? Heck, I'm going to need my Corn Pops to get through this.
I meekly worked my way to Jackie's corner. For several minutes before the bout both wrestlers signed autographs. Without saying a word or breaking stride, Jackie took my pen and paper, signed his name and gave them back with sudden swiftness.
He later took off his shiny robe and the action began.
Jackie won, but not before he spilled a little blood.
I have no idea what happened to that autograph. We went back to the wrestling matches a couple more times, just me and my dad. Couldn't tell you who we saw, but that wasn't the point.
My dad and I didn't do many things alone. He worked hard, played hard and wasn't home much. A few years later we moved to Rolla, I inherited the family car and I wasn't home much, either.
We lost my dad about a year ago.
And on Monday, Jackie Fargo, too, died. He was 85 years old.
But there was that one wonderful night decades ago when I had both my dad and Jackie all to myself.
That one glorious night, when we snuck out of the house and went to see Jackie Fargo. The night that probably stands out as my most vivid childhood memory.
I miss my dad. I miss Jackie. And I miss my Sugar Crisp Cereal.

Help Your Child by Monitoring Assignments
Children are more likely to complete assignments successfully when parents monitor homework. How closely you need to monitor depends upon the age of your child, how independent she is, and how well she does in school. Whatever the age of your child, if assignments are not getting done satisfactorily, more supervision is needed.
Here are some good ways to monitor assignments:
Ask About the School's Homework Policy.
At the start of the school year, ask the teacher:
- What kinds of assignments will be given?
- How long are children expected to take to complete them?
- How does the teacher want you to be involved?
Teachers' expectations vary. Ask your child's teacher what you should do. Should you just check to make sure the assignment is done, or should you do something more? Some teachers want parents to go over the homework and point out errors, while others ask parents to simply check to make sure the assignment is completed. It's also a good idea to ask the teacher to call you if any problems with homework come up.
Be Available.
Elementary school students often like to have someone in the same room when working on assignments in case they have questions. If your child will be cared for by someone else, talk to that person about what you expect regarding homework. For an older child, if no one will be around, let him know you want him to begin work before you get home and call to remind him if necessary.
Look Over Completed Assignments.
It's usually a good idea to check to see that your elementary school child has finished her assignments. If your junior high school student is having trouble finishing assignments, check his too. If you're not there when an assignment is finished, look it over when you get home. After the teacher returns completed homework, read the comments to see if your child has done the assignments satisfactorily.
Monitor Television Viewing.
American children on average spend far more time watching television than they do completing homework. In many homes, more homework gets done when television time is limited. Once you and your child have worked out a homework schedule, take time to discuss how much television and what programs she can watch. It's worth noting that television can be a learning tool. Look for programs that relate to what your child is studying in school, such as programs on history or science or dramatizations of children's literature. When you can, watch shows with your child, discuss them, and encourage follow-up activities such as reading or a trip to the museum.
Provide Guidance.
The basic rule is, "Don't do the assignments yourself." It's not your homework--it's your child's. "I've had kids hand in homework that's in their parents' handwriting," one Washington, DC-area eighth-grade teacher complains. Doing assignments for your child won't help him understand and use information. And it won't help him become confident in his own abilities.
It can be hard for parents to let children work through problems alone and learn from their mistakes. It's also hard to know where to draw the line between supporting and doing.
Different teachers have different ideas about the best way for parents to provide guidance. Here are a few suggestions with which most teachers agree:
Figure Out How Your Child Learns Best.
If you understand something about the style of learning that suits your child, it will be easier for you to help her.
If you've never thought about this style, observe your child. See if he works better alone or with someone else. If your child gets more done when working with someone else, he may want to complete some assignments with a brother or sister or a classmate. (Some homework, however, is meant to be done alone. Check with the teacher if you aren't sure.)
Other things to consider about learning style:
Does your child learn things best when she can see them? If so, drawing a picture or a chart may help with some assignments. For example, after reading her science book, she may not remember the difference between the tibia and the fibula. But by drawing a picture of the leg and labeling the bones, she can remember easily.
Does your child learn things best when he can hear them? He may need to listen to a story or have directions read to him. Too much written material or too many pictures or charts may confuse him.
Does your child understand some things best when she can handle or move them? An apple cut four or six or eight ways can help children learn fractions.
Help Your Child Get Organized.
As mentioned earlier, it's a good idea to set a regular time for children to do homework. Put up a calendar in a place where you'll see it often and record assignments on it. If your child's not able to write yet, then do it for him until he can do it himself. Writing out assignments will get him used to the idea of keeping track of what's due and when. You may want to use an assignment book instead of a calendar.
A bag for books will make it easier to carry homework to and from school. Homework folders in which youngsters can tuck their assignments for safekeeping help many students stay organized.
Encourage Good Study Habits.
Teachers generally give students tips on how to study. But it takes time and practice to develop good habits. You can reinforce these habits at home. For example:
Help your child structure time in order to complete assignments. For example, if your eighth-grader has a biology report due in 3 weeks, discuss all the steps she needs to take to complete it on time, including:
- Selecting a topic
- Doing the research by looking up books and other materials on the topic and taking notes
- Figuring out what questions to discuss
- Drafting an outline
- Writing a rough draft
- Revising and completing the final draft.
Encourage your child to write down how much time she expects to spend on each step.
Help your child get started when he has to do research reports or other big assignments. Encourage him to use the library. If he isn't sure where to begin, have him ask the librarian for suggestions. If he's using a computer for on-line reference resources--whether the computer's at home, school, or the library--make sure he's getting whatever help he needs to use it properly. As mentioned earlier, many public libraries have homework centers where there are tutors or other kinds of one-on-one assistance. After your child has done the research, listen while he tells you the points he wants to make in the report.
Give practice tests. Help your third-grader prepare for a spelling test by saying the words while she writes them down. Then have her correct her own test.
Help your child avoid last-minute cramming. Review with your fifth-grader how to study for his social studies test well before it's to be given. You can have him work out a schedule of what he needs to do to, make up a practice test, and write down answers to the questions he's made up.
Talk with your child about how to take a test. Be sure she understands how important it is to read the instructions carefully and to keep track of the time and avoid spending too much time on any one question.
Talk About the Assignments.
Ask your child questions. Talking can help him think through an assignment and break it down into small, workable parts. Here are some sample questions:
Do you understand what you're supposed to do? After your child has read the instructions, ask her to tell you in her own words what the assignment is about. (If your child can't read yet, the teacher may have sent home instructions that you can read to her.) Some schools have homework hotlines you can call for assignments in case your child misplaced a paper or was absent that day. If your child doesn't understand the instructions, read them with her and talk about the assignment. Are there words she doesn't understand? How can she find out what they mean? If neither you nor your child understands an assignment, call a classmate or contact the teacher.
What do you need to do to finish the assignment? Your child may want to talk through the steps with you (or make a written list of them, if he's able to), as described in the section above on good study habits.
Do you need help in understanding how to do your work? See if your child needs to learn more, for example, about subtracting fractions before she can do her assignment. Or find out if the teacher needs to explain to her again when to use capital and lowercase letters. If you understand the subject yourself, you may want to work through some examples with your child. But let her do the assignment herself.
Have you ever done any problems like the ones you're supposed to do right now? See if your child has already done similar problems that can guide him in completing these particular ones.
Do you have everything you need to do the assignment? Sometimes your child needs special supplies, such as colored pencils, metric rulers, maps, or reference books. As mentioned before, check with the teacher, school guidance counselor, or principal for possible sources of assistance if you can't provide needed supplies; and check with the local public library or school library for books and other information resources.
Does your answer make sense to you? Sometimes the response to a math problem doesn't seem logical, or the meaning of a paragraph your child has written is unclear. If that's the case, your child may need to check over the math problem or revise the paragraph.
If your child is still confused, ask:
- How far have you gotten on the assignment? Let's try to figure out where you're having a problem.
- Do you need to review your notes (or reread a chapter in your textbook) before you do the assignment?
- Are you still having problems? Maybe it would help to take a break or have a snack.
Give Praise.
People of all ages respond to praise. And children need encouragement from the people whose opinions they value most--their parents. "Good first draft of your book report!" or "You've done a great job" can go a long way toward motivating your child to complete assignments.
Children also need to know when they haven't done their best work. Make criticism constructive. Instead of telling a third-grader, "You aren't going to hand in that mess, are you?" try, "The teacher will understand your ideas better if you use your best handwriting." Then give praise when a neat version is completed.

The big numbers out today are the administration's counts of how many people actually enrolled in health exchanges between Oct. 1 and Nov. 2. More than 106,000 Americans selected health plans in the first month, the government said.
But the release comes on the same day the government's top technology officials headed to Capitol Hill to explain the disastrous launch of HealthCare.gov, the site that President Obama once pledged would make buying health insurance as easy as getting a plane ticket online. It's obviously not — and after wide scrutiny, the system is still a work in progress.
Here are a few key numbers about what the system can and cannot handle:
- The site's response rate was originally eight seconds — "which is totally unacceptable," U.S. Chief Technology Officer Todd Park told a House oversight committee.
- Programmers have improved that to one second, but efforts are underway to shorten the response time to a fraction of a second.
- Park said the system was designed to handle 50,000 to 60,000 concurrent users.
- Today, with fixes, it can handle about half the intended capacity with 20,000 to 25,000 concurrent users at most, Park said.
- The day before the site launched, HealthCare.gov could handle only 1,100 users at the same time, said Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., citing a press release.
- The site can now process 17,000 registrations an hour, or 5 per second, according to Henry Chao, HealthCare.gov's chief project manager.
Even before those numbers were released, the Obama administration's technology gurus faced a grilling today on Capitol Hill. Lawmakers wanted to know what went wrong with the HealthCare.gov software system. But as NPR's Elise Hu reports, some big questions went unanswered.
ELISE HU, BYLINE: Healthcare.gov's issues have gotten various vettings before lawmakers now. But it was the first time for members of the House Oversight Committee to examine this very public technological failure.
REPRESENTATIVE DARRELL ISSA: This was a monumental mistake to go live and effectively explode on the launch pad.
HU: That's committee chair Darrell Issa, the California Republican whose panel has, for the last month, investigated the missteps that led to a broken site.
ISSA: Whether you like Obamacare or not, taxpayer dollars were wasted, precious time was wasted, the American people's promise of Obamacare in fact does not exist today in a meaningful way.
HU: The site can now handle about 25,000 users at the same time. And that's much more than day one but still about half what U.S. chief technology officer Todd Park said the administration intended. He and other top government tech officials testified before lawmakers, assuring them engineers are making progress. Park used faster system response rates as an example.
TODD PARK: Just a few weeks ago, that rate was on average eight seconds across the system, which is totally unacceptable. It's now actually under a second today.
HU: The topic was tech but it didn't prevent political posturing, like this exchange started by Tennessee Democrat Jim Cooper.
REPRESENTATIVE JIM COOPER: I believe in fairness and the American people do not want to see a kangaroo court here.
HU: Chairman Issa was quick to respond.
ISSA: Kangaroo courts...
COOPER: By using...
ISSA: ...is quite an accusation. And I hope the gentleman of Tennessee when he uses the term kangaroo court in the future will think better of making an accusation.
HU: When they got beyond the political theater, lawmakers pressed witnesses on why stress testing on the entire technology system didn't happen. Why the agency overseeing the rollout underestimated user volume and security risks. And why contractors make so much money for sub par services, as Tennessee Republican John Duncan pointed out.
REPRESENTATIVE JOHN DUNCAN: What I'm more concerned about is all the sweetheart insider deals that government contractors get under these programs, and all the people and companies that are getting filthy rich.
HU: Whether it was contractors to blame or agency officials, Ohio Republican Jim Jordan just wanted to know who was supposed to be calling the shots.
REPRESENTATIVE JIM JORDAN: Who is the IT person? Is that Mr. Van Roekel? Is that Mr. Park? Is it Mr. Chao? Which of you is that person?
PARK: I don't know. I didn't speak to the president.
JORDAN: No, but he refers to a person. Who would it be? Who is the IT person in charge?
HU: Whoever he was looking for wasn't sitting before him. In short, the day-long panel didn't reveal new problems that aren't already on the punch list of fixes. The administration pledges to have the site functional by the end of this month. Witnesses say the work on the system will never really end. As they move forward major questions remain.
Again, Representative Duncan.
DUNCAN: Does anybody know? If we've spent 600 million already and it's not working, does anybody have any idea how much all this is going to cost us in the end?
HU: That's a question the witnesses couldn't answer.
DUNCAN: Nobody knows?

Word of Abby's letter spurs tips of no use
By DAN SEUFERT
Sunday News Correspondent
Father not convinced girl in video is Abigail Hernandez
Officials: Missing teen sent letter weeks after last sighting
- As police expected, tips have come in since investigators held a news conference Friday to release new information in the case of 15-year-old Abigail Hernandez, who has been missing since Oct. 9.
Associate Attorney General Jane Young said Saturday that investigators had "a number of tips" come in after authorities announced that Hernandez, a freshman at Kennett High School, had written a letter to her mother, Zenya, almost two weeks after she had been last seen.
Dated Oct. 22, the letter was postmarked Oct. 23 and received by Zenya Hernandez in Conway on Nov. 6. Young said the letter at first gave investigators hope, but has so far not brought them any closer to locating Abigail, who they say is in "grave" danger.
The tips received Friday and Saturday "did not produce any new information," Young said.
Law enforcement officers immediately followed up on the tips, which "were not all confined to the Conway area" in origin, she said. Thousands of tips have been investigated by authorities thus far.
"There is no change," Young said. "But we'd rather have all the information that's out there and have the leads not be fruitful than to not have the tips at all."
Authorities have not detailed the letter's origin or content, but said "the tone" of the letter is consistent with Abigail's writing. Authorities also said they have accounted for the delay in the letter being postmarked and Abigail's mother receiving it, but would not disclose the reason.
Investigators did not initially disclose the letter because they first needed to run tests on it - including DNA, handwriting and fingerprint analysis - to confirm its authenticity, Young said Friday.
Noting that Abigail has no independent financial means, FBI Special Agent Kieran Ramsey said Friday "our worst fear right now is that, though she could have left willingly, someone may now be coercing her or someone may be manipulating her."
Meanwhile, volunteers continued their work spreading Abigail's image on Facebook and websites across the country.
Paul Kirsch, who has been leading many of the volunteer efforts, said volunteers will be vigilant in getting Abigail's name, photo and story out to the world in hopes that someone with information about her whereabouts will come forward.
"There have been a lot of tremendous efforts to help bring Abby home, but we will only consider all of the efforts successful once Abby is home in mom and Sarah's arms," Kirsch said.
"We ask everyone to keep their efforts going looking for her and sharing her information with everyone they can and to keep reporting any tips or sightings to the FBI," he said.
Anyone with information that could help find Abigail is asked to call 1-800-CALL-FBI.

It was supposed to be "the girls basketball game of the year" according to one Wichita news website, but all the hype going around really didn't pan out as the #3 ranked in 1A (div. I) St. John Lady Tigers dismantled the #2 ranked in 1A (div. II) Norwich Eagles 46-17 Tuesday evening at St. John.
It was supposed to be "the girls basketball game of the year" according to one Wichita news website, but all the hype going around really didn't pan out as the #3 ranked in 1A (div. I) St. John Lady Tigers dismantled the #2 ranked in 1A (div.II) Norwich Eagles 46-17 Tuesday evening at St. John.
From the start, the Lady Tigers were in complete control, taking a 11-1 lead, the St. John gals "doing their thing" on defense, especially on Norwich's main scorer keeping her scoreless. And while the Lady Tigers' defense did its part by forcing five Norwich turnovers, St. John's offense did miss a few wide open layups which could have put the game away early on.
Norwich scored their first basket with 26 seconds left on the clock.
In the second quarter leading 11-3, starting out, St. John did not have a good four minutes, the Eagles scoring eight straight and foul trouble plaguing the Lady Tigers - their two big men, Teresa Christie and Alexis Witt whistled for three fouls each.
The Lady Tigers' defense recouped, forcing eight Eagle turnovers for the quarter, widened their lead and went into half-time leading 21-12.
When asked what he told his players during half-time, St. John's head coach Danny Smith said, "I really didn't have much to say to these girls. They were mad at themselves at the way they played, the number of fouls they had, and I knew they would take care of business coming back out on the court. And they did, and played hard. We had two girls hit two quick three's. Our players played defense really hard and stayed on them - that seemed to wear them down a little. We had planned it that way going into the game."
The Tigers came out in the second half playing much better ball, St. Johns's defense allowing just five Norwich points for the half.
The Lady Tigers came out and quicklly canned two, 3-pointers, Jessica Hanson and Tia Smith each making one. Morgan Osborne also canned a three and two more baskets. Jamie Waters made a basket and free throw - the score going into the final quarter, with the Tigers leading 37-14.
Teresa Christie started things out in the fourth quarter getting St. John's first points. Osborne hit her second 3-pointer, and Witt and Waters each made a basket. With 1:29 left on a running clock, St. John head coach Danny Smith emptied his bench.
St. John won the game going away 46-17.
"We don't care all that much about rankings, but its nice to get the win after having our first loss last week," said Smith. We lost to a good Wichita South team. It was tough going into overtime and losing by two, but coming out here, playing better in the second half and getting the win was what we wanted to do. We didn't play our greatest, but we did play hard."
Osborne had a good night shooting, making 9-13. As a team, St. John made 48 percent of their 2-point shots.
"Scoring doesn't really matter to me," said Osborne. "Its the end that matters. Defense is "the name of our game' and if we don't play it well, its hard for us to score. Good defense really improves our offense, then everybody comes around and scores. It gives us the opportunity for really good, open shots."
"After this we'll get back to the gym and start working even harder. We just came off a loss, and getting this win motivates us even more. That loss (to Wichita South) is still in the back of our minds. We're going to come out in practice and work hard to improve. We'll focus on taking the little things in mind and perfecting them."
And while the Eagles made 26-26 free throws in a game last week, they went 7-15 for 47 percent playing the Tigers. Could have been they were a little tired keeping up with the Tigers.
Scoring for St. John: Osborne 22, Waters 10, Witt 4, Teresa Christie 4, Smith 3, Hanson 3.
Free throws: 4-11 for 36 percent - Osborne 2, Waters 2.
Three point goals: 4 (Osborne 2, Smith 1, Hanson 1).
Turnovers: St. John 12 - Norwich 28.

Holt High School, built in 1944, is the oldest school building in the Tuscaloosa County School System. And county school board member Schmitt Moore, who represents Holt, said it's time to build a new school.
Holt High School, built in 1944, is the oldest school building in the Tuscaloosa County School System. And county school board member Schmitt Moore, who represents Holt, said it's time to build a new school.
"I've waited patiently for the day, served and supported other projects with the hope that we would make our way around to Holt," Moore said after a board meeting Monday. "The time for Holt has come."
During a board meeting Friday, Holt parent Jason Bearden submitted a petition with almost 1,800 signatures of people supporting a new Holt High School.
During the past 20 years, Holt High has received $2.6 million, while almost every other high school has received drastically more, according to the Holt High PTO, which compiled financial information provided by the county. According to the PTO report, $33.3 million was spent on Tuscaloosa County High, $16.3 million on Sipsey Valley High, $12.6 million on Northside High, $38 million on Brookwood High, which includes the new school under construction, $2.6 million on Holt High and $2.1 million on Hillcrest High. Bearden said the only reason less money has been spent on Hillcrest than on Holt is that a new Hillcrest was built in 1992.
Bearden said it's unfair that the county has appropriated funds from the 1-cent sales tax toward projects, like activity buildings at four Northport schools, and a new $18 million middle school to be built near Tuscaloosa County High. But students in Holt have to go to school in a building that is "falling apart, from the inside out," he said.
"Bottom line is, we know we've been overlooked, (we're) tired of being neglected, and we want to see something change," Bearden said.
During his presentation, he asked what the county board of education was going to do.
"Why have you abandoned the kids at Holt High?" Bearden asked.
But there was no answer from the board other than Bearden being asked if he was finished with his presentation.
That angered Veronica Surratt, president of the PTO and mother of two Holt High students, who walked out.
"I'm unhappy," Surratt said. "It was a no answer, and they didn't even say anything."
Holt senior Jessica Ingram said a new school building would help students and the community.
"I think that we would have a better community if we had a new school, but it would be a better school, too," she said.
Currently, Holt has a graduation rate of 52 percent, the lowest of any high school in the Tuscaloosa County or Tuscaloosa City system.
According to a 1991 study of the District of Columbia School System, standardized test scores in schools whose buildings are in poor shape are 6 percent lower than in schools in fair condition, and 11 percent lower than schools in excellent condition.
The students at Holt High deserve what every other high school student in the county system gets, and that includes going to school in a new, bright building with new technology and the best education that they can get, said Cindy Dixon, a Holt faculty member.
"I'd like to see equity, a classroom environment that is more than just a teacher and a classroom," Dixon said.
A "dark environment" like the old school does nothing to improve their education when so many students are already struggling, Dixon added. If a new school was built, it also might draw new homes and businesses into the Holt community, spurring revitalization in an area that was hard hit by the April 27, 2011, tornado, she said.
"If we build it, they will come," Dixon said.
At the end of the board meeting, Moore said he was committed to helping Holt and that he would share the community's concerns with the county system's facilities and grounds committee.
"Your concern will not be swept under the rug," Moore said.
Board member Joe Boteler said it's beyond time for Holt to get a new building.
"[Holt High] ranks 295th out of 304 high schools in the state," Boteler said in response to the board. "I don't see how you can look people in the face with those numbers. It's 10 years late."
Boteler also told the board that it should not be approving the construction of activity buildings — at a cost of up to $750,000 each — when that is an expense that traditionally the community has been required to raise. On Monday night, the board voted to approve construction bids for $1.6 million, which will include classroom expansion and a new activity building at Flatwoods Elementary in Northport.
"It's past time, it's way past time," Boteler said.
But, the board also must consider finances, said board member Gary Mims. The revenue from the 1-cent sales tax was approved in 2009 and is appropriated to specific projects through 2016.
"We know there is a need, but also the finances aren't there right now," Mims said.
Moore said after the meeting that perhaps the board should reconsider some of those financial commitments if it means that Holt can get a new school.
"Are the needs at Holt less important than activity buildings?" Moore asked. "No. We have to do a better job at prioritizing. We will look at our commitments and may have to reshuffle our priorities."

Pinteresting pairings for New Year's Eve bubbly
Whether you're throwing a party or just attending one this New Year's Eve, there's a 100 percent chance of sparkling wine, and you'll need something to eat with it. So what do you pair with Champagne anyway? I've turned to Pinterest — my addiction — for ideas.
First things first. You may or may not already know that Champagne is like the Band-Aid or Kleenex of sparkling wine. Technically, only bubbly made in the Champagne region of France using the traditional méthode champenoise can be called "Champagne." There's also Cava from Spain and Prosecco from Italy, as well as many types of American bubbly, which are great Champagne alternatives.
I would stick to the brut and extra-dry varieties of sparkling wines, which are the driest ones. Even so, most of them have an ever-so-slight bit of sweetness that contrasts nicely with salty foods, making the wine very refreshing. You can also consider this rule of thumb: If it goes well with beer, it will go well with Champagne. That includes things like pizza, sausage, burgers and spicy foods.
Thanks to Pinterest, here are some suggestions for party pairings. Warning: I'm not responsible if you become a Pinterest addict like me. You should seek a 12-step program for that!
Since cheese is always the perfect companion to wine, why not enjoy it with Champagne? I found this nifty cheese and wine wheel that recommends pairing Camembert, Beaufort, Brie, cheddar, colby and Edam with your bubby. Gouda would go nicely as well. And if you want to get fancy, here are five steps for creating the perfect cheese platter.
Mac and cheese
If cheese works so well with sparkling wine, homemade mac and cheese is the next logical step. Make it the traditional way, or doll it up like this smoked Gouda macaroni and cheese. Feel free to mix in additional cheeses and bits of prosciutto or bacon. Bake it in a mini muffin tin and you'll have appetizer-ready mac and cheese bites.
No matter if it's plain cheese pizza or a more exotic Vietnamese lemongrass chicken pizza with cashew butter sauce, Champagne bubbles will cut through any rich, zesty, spicy, meaty or greasy pizza. Just pick an exciting combination of toppings and run with it.
If you can swing oysters and caviar, go for it. But they are definitely not the only options that will pair beautifully with Champagne. Shrimp, crab, lobster and shellfish are all winners, such as these cilantro lime shrimp soft tacos. Smoked salmon is also nice and very versatile, like with smoked salmon, cucumber and red onion on rye toasts. And the big surprise is that sushi and Champagne are like a match made in heaven.
Pick any appetizer with mushrooms, poultry (including foie gras) or sausage, and I promise it will make a great pairing for Champagne. Go earthy yet casual with Portobello sliders or spinach-stuffed mushrooms. I find that grilled chicken satay with peanut dipping sauce are always a crowd pleaser, while shrimp and Spanish chorizo bites are just plain cute and irresistible.
Believe it or not, Champagne is an excellent contrast to salty and greasy snack food, including potato chips and popcorn. Your guests will be even more impressed if these snacks don't come straight out of the bag. Try your hand at these baked salt and vinegar chips, sea salt honey butter popcorn or truffled popcorn.
This is one area where you should opt for a somewhat sweet sparkling wine, such as a demi-sec Champagne, Asti Spumante or Moscato d'Asti. Otherwise, a dry wine with a sweet dessert will result in bitterness. Champagne and strawberries is a classic combination, and you may want to try making cheesecake-stuffed strawberries. Light and fresh fruit desserts will be a great match for Champagne, especially a French apple tart, as will traditional shortbread and almond cookies or cake.
What will you be pairing with bubbly on Dec. 31? You can find my suggestions and others on my New Year's Eve Pinterest board. Cheers!
