If finance had a hall of fame, Warren Buffett, Carl Icahn, John Paulson, George Soros and Bill Ackman would probably be in it.
These men aren't just rich, they've managed to beat the market consistently.
Plenty of investors dream of being in their league, but decoding the market on your own is tough and buying into many of these famed investors' funds is steep.
While you can purchase a class B share of Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB) for about $125, the A shares (BRKA) trade for a whopping $187,000. Paulson and Ackman run hedge funds that cater to wealthy investors only.
So what's someone without millions, let alone billions, to do?
One option may be the iBillionaire ETF that's set to launch in June. It's currently awaiting SEC approval.
"Most retail investors don't have a million or more to invest in all these hedge funds we are tracking. So really what the ETF is about is giving retail investors access to products they didn't have access to," Raul Moreno, CEO and co-founder of iBillionaire, told CNNMoney.
Moreno's company launched the iBillionaire app, which tracks the stock holdings of 21 billionaires, last year.
Users simply click on the name and photo of any titan and their stock portfolios come up along with data on how large each position is.
Investors can use the app to get ideas and to see how their portfolios compare to those of the financial stars. It's easy to use, and 85,000 people have downloaded it, according to the company.
The goal of the ETF is the combine the wisdom of the great investors.

The ETF will track the iBillionaire Index, a portfolio of the top 30 US large cap stocks these billionaires hold. The index averages the positions of 10 of the billionaires, including Buffett, who were selected because their portfolios don't turn over often and only contain large American companies.
Apple (AAPL), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Coca-Cola (KO) are the three largest holdings. They collectively make up more than 22% of the index.
One of the criticisms of this approach is that the index doesn't update frequently. Many hedge funds trade stocks on a daily basis, for instance, while the iBillionaire index updates only quarterly.
"We are looking only at investors not trading frequently. We're really targeting long-term investors," Moreno says.
So assuming the ETF gets the SEC's blessing, does it make sense as an investment for you?

Ben Johnson, director of passive fund research at Morningstar, warned that "it's a tall task when it comes to cutting through all of the marketing hype and unearthing whether or not there's actually any real economic intuition or investment merit" to some of these more gimmicky ETFs.
But the iBillionaire index has a decent track record. It has outperformed the S&P 500 over a one and three year time frame, but it is lagging the S&P 500 in 2014.
Still, there are similar investments currently on the market such as the Global X Guru Index ETF (GURU), which tracks the holdings of prominent hedge funds.
You could also argue that since the billionaires aren't really buying anything that unconventional, an investor might be better off with a standard index fund, like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY).

Johnson notes there's been heated competition in the ETF field in recent years. Investment firms were "throwing anything against the wall" to see what stuck. The upside is that all the competition drove down fees.
The iBillionaire ETF, for example, will have an annual expense ratio cost of just 0.65%. That works out to $6.50 in fees for every $1,000 you invest. That's slightly lower than what the Guru ETF charges. And it's much lower than a hedge fund's fees.
Even billionaire George Soros caught Facebook (FB) fever this spring.
The hedge fund manager purchased 341,000 shares of the social media company during the second quarter, according to SEC filings.
Hedge fund managers aren't forced to specify when during a quarter they purchased stakes in various firms. Still, it's safe to say that the investor who infamously made MOREMaureen Farrell - Aug 14, 2012 7:13 PM ET

32Red PLC, an award-winning online gaming operator and an approved CSR online casino for over 2 years now, is reporting that its 32Red casino has proven to be a success with players in 2011 and well beyond 2012.
The Company reported record growth in light of the strong 2010 comparative figures that were, in turn, 33% ahead of 2009. Consequently, 32Red's 2011 revenues are 96% ahead of those recorded in 2009.
32Red's performance is once again dominated by the growth in the 32Red Casino which has been driven by significant new players during the last quarter.
32Red plans to continue marketing investment and believe their performance will have a positive effect on activity levels in 2012 and beyond.
32Red also announced that it has applied for an Italian remote gaming license and intends to commit marketing and operational resources in 2012 to gain a foothold in the Italian online casino market.
Ed Ware, CEO of 32Red, said, "2011 has been another year of progress and the sustained top line growth is encouragement to continue to invest in marketing the 32Red brand. Meanwhile, we will take measures to ensure that the level of service and support we provide to our players remains our point of difference and bolsters retention.
"Our marketing has become more effective and has yielded encouraging results. We will build investment in this area throughout the remainder of the year.
"32Red was delighted to have renewed the sponsorship of Swansea City football club for a further three years in February and we congratulate the club on promotion to the English Premier League.
"While the focus remains in the UK, the board continues to monitor developments in Europe."
Although we recognize the potential for uncertainty in the economy at home and abroad, we look forward to further progress during 2012. We also believe Italy represents a good opportunity for 32Red to establish itself as a leading remote gaming operator in a new market and we maintain a watching brief on other regulatory developments around the world."
The Group will announce its preliminary results on Wednesday, 7 March 2012.

Our memories are important. We take millions of photos every single day. We post to our Facebook Timeline, pin to Pinterest boards. Clearly, we care about the past. And our friends in Silicon Valley would love to take care of all of it for us.
Thanks to app tweaks and software updates, it's easier than ever for you to hand your photographic history over to the company of your choice.
Consider this: Take a photo using your iPhone, and Apple can instantly upload your snapshot to your iCloud account, where it's accessible via any of your connected Apple devices. Google can do that, too, with Android phones and your Google+ account. There's Microsoft and SkyDrive integration, Facebook and album image uploading. Not to mention others like Amazon Cloud Drive and Dropbox.
Google doesn't want to be left behind, as evidenced by the company's latest robust photo offering. The Google+ team dropped a massive update to its photo-editing capabilities at its I/O developer conference on Wednesday, bringing a series of professional-grade photo-editing tools to anyone who uses Google+.
The advantage here, Google would say, is that while everyone may offer free online photo storage in some capacity, Google is the one with the consumer editing suite. But you don't have to be an expert-level Photoshop user to work with Google's new tools. Auto-enhance, auto-highlight and even "auto-awesome" leverage the power of Google's algorithms to choose the best pictures out of the many you've uploaded, and automatically make them look better than they did before.
The point is simple: The more you've invested yourself in a service — be it by filling out and continuously updating your profile, or through uploading photo after photo to its cloud-based storage — the less likely you are to fall away from using it. If all of your memories are stuck inside of, say, Facebook, you've got an online repository, an album to point others to in the future or to re-download as you see necessary. And, perhaps because of the emotional nature of the material, you're less likely to even want to move it in the first place.
It's also the type of media where platforms see some of their highest engagement from users. Facebook, I've been told, sees far and away more activity and engagement from users focused on photos in the stream than they do from text-based status updates. Google+, too, sees high engagement from in-stream pictures.
Users aside, big data companies like Google and Facebook gain reams of information from the photos you've sent in. Each file is another piece of location metadata to be registered, another image to identify and tag using facial-recognition tech, another way of recognizing the people and places you interact with most in your daily life.
So now, when all companies are offering similar uploading options and essentially unlimited free online storage, it's up to competitors to differentiate to try and stand out.
That's easier said than done. Facebook obviously has its billion-strong network (not to mention the rapidly growing Instagram), where many of your friends already likely have a presence. Apple touts accessibility and safety via only a certain set of devices. And Google+, while its usage and engagement stats are constantly a point of contention, will at least offer a simple, powerful photo tool set that gives any amateur photographer the ability to make their vacation pictures look a whole lot better.
In the end, it doesn't really matter what winds up luring you to one service over another. What matters is how they keep you coming back to upload more of your photos, more of your memories. Perhaps Google's new editing-feature suite will give it the edge it needs to stay in the game.

For someone who professes to love us all, you'd think that maybe the thought our time could be worth a little something might enter Jesus' skull once or twice. That maybe Jesus could tell us, "You know, there's no need to go all out for my birthday. Really. Me and my Dad, the all knowing, omnipotent creator of universes known and unknown, the Deity that can part seas with his breath, move mountains with his pinky and knows the exact number of hairs on your head, I'm sure we'll come up with something. Don't put yourself out just on my account."
"And there is really no need to invent The Clapper to sell in the season of my special day. You work too hard for your money."
That's what my Uncle Harold would say. Uncle Harold always insisted we never make a big deal about his birthday, because that was just the kind of guy Harold was. Unlike this prick Jesus who pretty much ruined my whole week with this Christmas shit.
And by whole week I mean entire month of December. And part of November as well. Traffic gets backed up because of a goddamn parade. People everywhere I want to shop. A big pile of pine trees right where I normally park my car at work. All because this savior of mankind lets it go straight to his head.
I got news for you Jesus. I once saved the life of a mouse we found in the backroom of the store. That's right. Instead of killing it, I captured the little guy and let him loose in the woods in back of the mall. And I don't expect the mouse to buy shit every year for my birthday either. I think maybe I could teach you a thing or two about humility Mr. Son of God.
The sad thing is it's not just me that gets screwed. The entire goddamn planet has to put their lives on hold just for Jesus every year. Fuck it makes me so mad. I got over birthdays when I was like 9, and Jesus still gets all giddy like a girl after 2000 of them? Give me a break. Buddhism looks better every day. No wonder there are so many Buddhists.
Which is why I think my book is the ideal Christmas present. Because that was an excerpt from my book.You should totally show Jesus Christmas is just about the stuff by buying a copy. And now, finally, you can put it on your Kindle which is a bit of stuff I still don't quite understand, other than to know I get a bigger royalty when someone buys a Kindle version. So um, yeah, I'm all about the Kindle. In your face Jesus. I'm gonna make some money off your birthday.
Go here to get a copy of the greatest pharmacy book ever written for your Kindle.
Or here to get me in your Nook. Which sounds kinda fun depending on your attractiveness.
And if you're a fan of the paper, you can order a copy here.

RATIONALE: Vaccines may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Aldesleukin may stimulate the white blood cells to kill breast cancer cells. Giving vaccine therapy together with aldesleukin may be a more effective treatment for metastatic breast cancer.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving vaccine therapy together with aldesleukin works in treating women with metastatic breast cancer.
|Condition or disease
|Breast Cancer
|Biological: allogeneic large multivalent immunogen breast cancer vaccine Biological: aldesleukin
|Phase 2
- To determine the efficacy of allogeneic large multivalent immunogen (LMI) vaccine and aldesleukin, as defined by clinical benefit rate (percentage of patients demonstrating a complete response, partial response, or disease stabilization as assessed by RECIST criteria), in women with stable metastatic breast cancer.
- To measure the immune response in patients treated with this regimen.
- To determine the progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen.
- To determine the 1- and 2-year overall survival rates in patients treated with this regimen.
- To determine the safety profile and toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
OUTLINE: Patients receive allogeneic large multivalent immunogen (LMI) vaccine intradermally on day 1 and aldesleukin subcutaneously on days 7 and 8. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with disease progression after 2 courses of vaccine therapy resume the chemotherapy regimen for which prior disease stabilization was achieved. Beginning 2-4 days after completion of chemotherapy, patients receive one dose of LMI vaccine followed by aldesleukin on days 7 and 8. Patients achieving at least stable disease continue to receive LMI vaccine and aldesleukin as above. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples are collected periodically for research studies. Samples are analyzed to assess the frequency of leukocyte subsets (including B cells, T cells, NK cells, and monocytes) via flow cytometry; frequency of T-regs (T cells that express CD4, CD25, and FoxP3); and responses to keyhole limpet hemocyanin and tetanus toxoid via ELISA assay. Other immunological studies are also performed.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 3 months.

Experimental: LMI Vaccination + IL-2
Patients receiving allogeneic large multivalent immunogen breast cancer vaccine and aldesleukin.
Biological: allogeneic large multivalent immunogen breast cancer vaccine
Allogeneic large multivalent immunogen breast cancer vaccine (1 x 10^7, 5-μm silica spheres) will be given as an intradermal injection every 28 days (+/- 3 days). Each vaccine dose will be 0.2 ml.
Other Name: LMI
Biological: aldesleukin
Subcutaneous aldesleukin (10 x 10^6 International Units) will be given on day 7 and day 8 after each LMI injection.
Other Names:
- Disease Response [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Percentage of patients achieving complete response, partial response, or disease stabilization as assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) criteria for measurable target lesions and non-measurable non-target lesions assessed by CT, PET-CT or MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions or persistence of one or more non-target lesions; Disease Stabilization (SD), Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease; Progressive Disease (PD), >=20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.
- Immune Response [ Time Frame: 48 hours ]Immune responses will be assessed by DTH responses to LMI, IFN-gamma production by CD8+ T cells using the ELISPOT assay, and CD8+ T cell binding to HLA-A2 multimers complexed with breast cancer-derived peptides (multimer analysis).
- Progression-free Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Progression free survival will be measured in months from time of response to time of disease progression as defined by RECIST (appendix II), "at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the baseline measurements, or the appearance of one or more new lesion(s)."

I have developed a theory that U.F.O.s most likely travel with magnetic transport, this is because If you use high consentrated magnetic waves to keep something susspended up, it creates magnetic fields, or E.M.P. fields. High magnetic fields were proven to be able to kill people by the Soviet Union, but they have to be high Magnetic waves. The Magnetic fields that U.F.O. s produce allow the U.F.O. to travel very close to the speed of light(by using other magnetic fields of planets), the fields are able to deflect projectiles, are able to knock people out, and cause electronics to short circuit. The magnetic fields also polarize objects that have medium amounts of iron in them(corn, grass.etc), but the strange thing is, is that it polarizes the grass with the same magnetic power, causing crop circles. The intricate designs of the crop circles, depend on the ways the magnetic waves come to the ground.
I do hope who ever reads this Theory is pleased at my Theory.

I think you need to put out 1 solid version of pas and stick with it for a while so people can learn how to use the features and hopefully make tutorials for it.
When people see that a game maker program is in flux, they always wait for the next version to come out before they try to learn to use it. You did very well on steam. Many people seemed interested. Then you lost your main programmer and now you are starting all over again. I think that was a big turn off for people.
As for modeling contests. I think that all the entries for the contest should be made free to use for all people. That way you can grow a large library of free content. That really attracts users A nice clean page featuring all of the free content would be nice. A picture of the model, The poly count, The creator. A page that is clean and easy to search through.
That's my 2 cents for now

We had a wonderful dining experience. We were a party of 4 adults. The staff was kind and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals.
First time at the restaurant so we could only try a few things. The spring rolls, not fried btw, were very good with the peanut sauce. Spare ribs were very tasty and not what you would expect if you're thinking 'Chinese spare ribs'. We also tried the Duck and a special fish entree. Service was very good, the place looks really nice and the food is great. Give it a try!
This was the best Vietnamese food. The service was excellent and the food delicious.
The Brussels Sprout appetizer were to die for. The tofu fried rice was so good that I ordered one to go for my lunch the next day.
We wouldn't have known about this restaurant if it had not been for open table.
We will be back!!!
All were excellent: oysters were fresh, pork banh mi was great (although I don't eat pork much). Chicken curry banh mi needs bit of work. For the dessert we tried the donuts with fillings and they were light/airy and tasty. Everything was superb. I will definitely come back here again and soon!

"conspired ' with associates for weeks to talk out of the hearings, as he did last Thursday, because of fear that the evidence to be presented would be "damaging and devastating." Townsend's defiance and refusal to return, except under arrest, put the investigating committee into a quandary. Swiftly deciding to recommend a house contempt citation against the doctor, the committee reconsidered its action for fear cf playing into the hands of Townsend strategists who, they said, sought to make Townsend a martyr in order to raise "defense" money and restore dwindling revenues. Even Towhsend's subsequent order to all his officers directing them not to testify despite their subpoenas failed to goad the committee into action. The committee will meet again tomorrow or Tuesday in an effort to find some way of punishing Doctor Townsend without making a "martyr" of him. roy May Send Delegates To Japan for Conference That the University of Southern California will have the rivilege of sending two delegates to the third annual Jap-nese-American student conference in Tokyo this summer as the announcement received by Dr. Eugene Harley of ths epartment of political science in a recent communication.

The cut into the mound near Santa Ana and La Brea on which about 600 WPA workers have been digging to put through the roadway has proved to be a veritable mine of ancient remains. Already, beside the horse, the bones of a mastodon said to be 250.000 years old and a giant sloth of the same age as weU as a buffalo leg bone 20.000 years old have been removed. Visitors from California Institute of Technology and from the University of California on Saturday were mystified by the mixture of the bones of many geologic periods in the same deposit. A cursory examination inclined Curator Wild of the Exposition park museum to the opinion that the bones must have been laid down by a glacier. A cut from 38 to 40 feet was made into the bank and the reUcs have been turning up regularly on the job for the past two weeks. The horse appears to have been about the size of the modem animal and entirely different from the dwarf horse and the three-toed horse which in time are reputed to foUow the one uncovered by Reynolds and his men. One of the finds was a huge tooth of the mastodon weighing about two pounds and stUl partially covered by the original enamel. The remains are to be turned over to the museum, the R. B.

Report: http://postconflict.unep.ch/publications/UNEP_greening_blue_helmets.pdf
Executive Summary: http://postconflict.unep.ch/publications/UNEP_greening_blue_helmets_ES.pdf
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has released the findings of a two-year analysis of how peacekeeping missions around the world affect, and are affected by, natural resources and the broader environment. In addition to highlighting the utmost importance of reducing the environmental impact of UN Peacekeeping operations, the new report states that the implementation of good practice in this area also has additional benefits, including increased financial savings for missions, and improved safety and security for local communities as well as UN Peacekeeping staff. The report notes that through the adoption of a 2009 Environmental Policy, UN Peacekeeping has a robust platform for progress in reducing its environmental impact.

2011 National Human Development Report for the Russian Federation: Modernization and Human Development
English & Russian: http://hdr.undp.org/en/reports/national/europethecis/russia/name,24360,en.html
This is the 15th Report in the ongoing series, started in 1995 jointly by UNDP and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation as the Project's National Executing Agency. Since 2011 the Faculty of Economics at Lomonosov Moscow State University has acted as the National Executing Agency for the Project 'Mainstreaming Human Development in Russia'. The main goal of the 2011 Report is to study the tasks of modernization in the context of human development, highlighting the necessity for the modernization of Russia's economy and social sphere and enhancement of its institutions. This approach is a logical continuation of the previous Reports. The 2011 Report identifies the basic components of modernization, addresses main parameters of the post-crisis economy and social challenges in Russia and analyzes the development of social and institutional infrastructure to determine the role of human development in Russia's 'new economy'.

Opening Reception: Thursday, October 14, 6:00 pm
Program: 7pm Panel Discussion: "Being Jewish and American: Expressions of Identity in Contemporary Art"
Archie Rand, artist;
Matthew Baigell, critic;
Nancy Schwartzman, HEEB Magazine, National Foundation for Jewish Culture;
Rabbi Shirley Idelson, Associate Dean, HUC-JIR; moderator
This exhibition and program are under the auspices of the Irma L. and Abram S. Croll Center for Jewish Learning and Culture.

About the exhibition:
Archie Rand: The Nineteen Diaspora Paintings
explores the complexity of moral, spiritual, and physical survival. By depicting biblical personages at decisive moments with a pulp fiction aesthetic, Rand's works present a new lexicon of contemporary Jewish identity, integrating biblical text and contemporary popular culture. The paintings' imagery and aesthetics, bridging antiquity and modernity, resonate with contemporary ethical and intellectual dilemmas as they depict the rise of Israel, its dissolution, exile, and the eternal hope for redemption.
Curator Laura Kruger, notes, "Rand creates modern, visual parables by juxtaposing heroic scale figures, skewed and off balance, with direct quotations from biblical texts. The agitated energy ignites each scene and propels the action into our immediate time frame. Never underestimating his audience, Rand anticipates that the viewer will grapple with these intellectual issues and he provides provocative material matching the premise of the text."
Rand's paintings depict personages, ranging from Esau, Abraham, Isaac, and Samson to King David and the prophets Jeremiah, and Isaiah, among others, confronting a dramatic moment that alters the course of history. Eve's exile from Eden, Cain apprehended at the murder scene, Solomon as a construction worker building the Temple, Elijah rising to heaven in a space ship -- the humor and drama of human frailty are presented in the guise of comic book imagery, including prehistoric beasts, Roman solders, Native Americans, film noir heroes, and science fiction explorers. Rand invites the viewer to wrestle with the psychological, moral, and political quandaries of the distant past, as described in the original biblical text inscriptions but depicted in the popular visual vocabulary of 20th and 21st century experience.
Additional layers of meaning are extracted by the series' correspondence to the benedictions of the Amidah prayer, the core element of each of the prescribed daily services in Judaism. Also known as Hatefilah (The Prayer), it is recited individually and silently while standing and facing Jerusalem, and repeated by a reader when there is a congregational quorum of 10 adults present. Throughout this prayer, the worshiper addresses God directly. This series of benedictions arose during the Second Temple period and became the general custom after the Second Temple was destroyed in 70 CE, and the Israelites' dispersion into the diaspora.
The prayers extol God's holiness and deeds, petition God to grant wisdom and understanding, ask for repentance and redemption, supplicate for the fertility of the earth, beseech for the ingathering of exiles, appeal for justice and destruction of enemies, ask for mercy for the righteous, solicit the rebuilding of Jerusalem, seek the reestablishment of the kingdom of David, express a plea to accept prayers and reinstate Temple worship, and offer thanks for God's mercies. The concluding 19th blessing is a petition for peace.
In his homage to the pioneering aesthetic of the comic book founders, many of whom were Jewish, Rand has sought alternative Jewish sources to those conveying conventional Yiddish nostalgia, eschewing a predictable iconography. The graphic inclusion of Hebrew text restrains the assimilation of these images into a completely secular context and, in Rand's view, "reallocates Hebrew to those who require identification, from both within and outside of Judaism, without the pressure of conscription to the whole nine yards." The result is a series of works that startle, challenge, disturb, and assert that one can be both universal and particular, and that a contemporary artist can speak authentically in an American and Jewish voice.
For well over three decades Archie Rand has been considered one of America's foremost painters, a technical and iconographic innovator, and a leading master of Judaic iconography. He has had over 100 solo exhibitions and his work is represented in many museum collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The Bibliothque Nationale in Paris, The Israel Museum in Jerusalem, and The Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
In 1999 Rand received the Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship and was made a Laureate of the National Foundation for Jewish Culture, which awarded him the prestigious medal for Contributions to the Visual Arts. Among his numerous honors are The National Endowment for the Arts Grant, The New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, the SECCA Award in the Visual Arts, the Columbia University Presidential Award for Excellence, Sienna Prize and the Engelhard Foundation Grant.

Weekend picks: Lose an hour, gain a memory
Daylight saving time claims an hour on Sunday. So, where would you go in search of lost time? Here are three restaurants that recapture the past -- and enjoy the present, too.
La Marmite in Williston Park is among the last continentals. Very good service, handsome appointments, and dishes such as onion soup gratinee, duck a l'orange with wild rice, calf's liver with bacon and onions, and a puffy gâteau Saint-Honore.
Le Soir in Bayport recently reopened after a fire. Come back for country pate, steak au poivre, sole amandine, fricassee of lobster with whiskey sauce, braised sweetbreads, filet mignon Bordelaise and a special of cassoulet.
And just because of Biere de Mars, hoist one at Southampton Publick House. It still has a hint of the old days at Bowden Square, and better beer. Sample ale-braised pork osso buco, rib-eye steak with IPA steak sauce, potato-ale soup.
La Marmite, 234 Hillside Ave., Williston Park; 516-746-1243.
Le Soir, 825 Montauk Hwy., Bayport; 631-472-9090.

My daughter started Primary school in mid September, and after a longish summer period of relaxed bedtimes we have gone back to our former bedtime schedules and routines.
While at Pre-school, she would be in bed at 20.00 (8:00 pm), and fall asleep by 20.30 (8:30 pm). However now at Primary school this has changed slightly so as to be ready for bed at 20.30 (8:30 pm) and falling asleep by 21.00 (9:00 pm).
I have heard that some children go to sleep as late as 21.30 (9:30 pm), while others go to bed as early as 19.00 (7:00 pm). Am I wrong to consider 21.30pm as being late? What is an appropriate bedtime for 6 year olds in your experience?
Additional information: The school service bus collects her at 07.40 am in the morning so her wake up time is around 7.00 am. School starts at 08.30 am and school finishes at 15.30 (3:30 pm) and the service bus drops her home 40-50 mins later with school finishing an hour earlier at 14.30 (2:30 pm) on Wednesdays.
Note: I would appreciate hearing from parents whose children are currently in Primary school, around the 6 year range or from those whose children have been to Primary school and who can recall that first year.
asked 21 Oct '10, 06:48
Our daughter isn't in primary school yet. But I recall that my bedtime was 8:00 (20:00) until I was about 9 or 10 years old.
I also have friends whose children are around your daughter's age and their children go to bed between 7:00 (19:00) and 7:30 (19:30).
I also found this article that provides a lot of information.
According to The Zurich longitudinal study (Iglowstein et al 2003) that they refer to a 6 year old needs an average of 11 hours of sleep in a 24 hour perior. However, they state that difference adults and children typically require different amounts of sleep.
That being said I have also recently been to a few presentations where researchers were showing that at least in North America parents often underestimate the amount of sleep their children need and most children do not get enough sleep.

My daughter is 5 and in Kindergarten. She wakes up at 7 am and her dad takes her to school at 7:45 - 7:50 am. The school day runs from 8:15 am - 3:25 pm (except on Wednesday when they dismiss at 2:10 pm). Her bed time on a school night is at 8 pm. We sometimes let it slip back to 8:30 or 9 pm on the weekends if there is something special going on and she doesn't have to be up early in the morning. But otherwise, we try to have her in bed by 8.
answered 23 Oct '10, 05:32
When my older boys were that age, and until about 4th and 5th grade, bedtime was 8. What that actually meant, was they went upstairs and got ready for bed, someone went with them and read their story and talked for awhile. At about 8:30 we turned on a story on tape and shut out the lights and they were almost always asleep long before 9. When Riley (my oldest) wasn't lying down wherever he was at 8:30 and going to sleep, it all moved back by an hour.
Ri was one of those kids who needed to sleep when he needed to, and needed to go to bed at the same time everyday so bedtime was always really dependant on his needs, because, well, he'd vomit if he was overtired after he'd fallen asleep (sometimes without waking up) and that scared the heck out of me. So I was always really strict about bedtime and they went to bed at 8 during holidays too. (Exceptions; Christmas Eve, New Years and Canada Day to see the fireworks.)
I also needed them to be in bed so that I could have a few hours to myself before my bedtime.
(and yeah, 9:30 seems awfully late for a 6 year old to me too.)
answered 27 Oct '10, 17:15
It does vary from child to child, e.g. my older two are very different. If she seems bright and alert in the morning and she's not lying awake for hours you've probably got it about right.
My experience:
My middle child has just turned 7 and we put her to bed between about 7.15 and 8.00 usually. It varies because if she seems tired and we can manage to get her ready earlier then we put her to bed earlier (of course when she's tired she's often unco-operative and then it's difficult to get her ready for bed), and some nights she's having too much fun to get ready for bed. On a school day her alarm goes off at 7.15am, she tends to snuggle up with me and her little brother while he has his morning feed for ten minutes, but then gets up and is fairly bright most mornings.
My eldest (about to turn 9) is very much an evening person, so we let her stay up later, although we only started that about a year ago when we realised that she wasn't actually going to sleep until quite a lot later than we put her in bed and there was a vicious cycle of her not being tired enough to go to sleep then getting in a state about not going to sleep and ending up going to sleep really late and being foul in the morning. So now she goes to bed a little later - lights out at 8.45 - 9pm, and she usually goes to sleep fairly quickly and is reasonably refreshed in the morning. We let her get up later in the morning (alarm goes off 7.45, usually takes 5-10 minutes to actually start to get up), as now she's not so tired in the morning she gets ready for school fairly quickly, but we don't expect her to do anything other than dress, eat breakfast and brush her teeth and hair before school.
You can see that they both have around 11 hours sleep, in theory, but they need it at slightly different times
The younger one does piano practice in the morning, the elder does it in the evening. The younger sometimes has time to play in the morning before school, the elder gets her pet mice out in the evening to play with (and watches science programmes on the TV).
My point is that each child is different and you might experiment with different bed times until you find what makes your child awake for school. There is a lot of research pointing to a general shortage of sleep for children (as Tammy mentioned), so if in doubt try getting her to bed earlier and see how well that works. But you can put them to bed, but you can't make them sleep, so too early and it might be counter-productive.

Super-fast estate
* Need help choosing a car? * Just ask What Car? here * We'll find the cars that suit you...
Super-fast estate
Name: Steve Bol
Age: 55
Drives: Volvo V70 R
Budget: 35,000
Wants: 'A seriously quick estate car.
My Volvo is pretty nippy, but I want something even faster. A 0-62mph time of less than five seconds would be great.'
What Car? Recommends
If, like Steve, you want our help to find your ideal car, just e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com with:
•A photo of yourself
•Your budget
•Your current car
•Your age
•Your annual mileage
•Other useful info
Audi S4 Avant 3.0 V6
Price: 35,595
Target Price: 34,005
0-62mph takes a shade over five seconds, but the S4 is Steve's best bet if he wants to buy new.
Despite storming performance, the Audi manages a respectable 28.5mpg and is very plush inside.
Chrysler 300C Touring 6.1 V8 SRT-8, '08/58
Price: 23,500
We wouldn't recommend buying one of these new, but because they shed value so quickly, a six-month-old car would save Steve more than 10k.
Some of that cash could pay for the hefty fuel bills.
Audi RS4 Avant, '07/07
Price: 34,000
This previous-shape A4 is arguably a better car than the current one. The RS4 version is a cracker it looks the part and will hit 62mph from rest in 4.9 seconds.
It should hang on to its value well, too.
