From the creative mind of Ben Williams comes THREE brand new easy to do, high impact card tricks involving the torn corners of signed cards. Virtually sleight free so you can concentrate on your performance. Learn two routines centred around making the torn corner of a signed card appear anywhere you want, under your watch, in a spectator's pocket, on the OTHER side of a window, the possibilities are endless. Also learn how to restore the corner to a signed card with a routine so visual and simple you will have the perfect starter for your favourite ambitious card routine or your favourite signed card routine. All of these routines have been tried and tested and have never failed to get great reactions, their simplicity in plot and handling combined make these routines perfect for your arsenal.
TEAR-ific A spectator's selection is marked by having a corner torn off and the torn card is also signed. The spectator holds onto his card as the magician takes the corner and eats it, no switches take place, it is the corner you tear off. A moment later when the spectator is satisfied the corner has been swallowed the magician reveals that the exact piece to the spectator's signed card is now taped to the underside of his watch. Torn but not forgotten!TEAR-ified A spectator chooses a card this card is then marked by having the corner torn off AND being signed by the spectator. The performer then takes the torn corner and chews it up. The pulpy remain of this torn corner is then offered back to the spectator. When they make it clear they do not want it back the performer swallows the pulpy corner to get rid of it. Not to be bothered by this the performer strives on claiming that the spectator can still have their piece back, all that is needed is a bit of magic. The performer then takes the signed, torn card and lifts it up to his face where he blows on it to reveal the corner piece is now restored back onto the signed card.TEAR-ibble A spectator selects a card and it is signed. The signed card is then placed in between the spectator's palms and held tightly. The performer asks if the spectator would be impressed if he managed to steal the card from between their hands. When told that the spectator would be impressed the performer has a go at trying to steal the signed card without the spectator feeling anything. Upon the third failed attempt the performer explains that he has been training for this and he simply must show something to try to impress the spectator. So, the performer suggests stealing some of the card and mimes ripping the corner off of the card. When the spectator opens their hand the signed card is indeed missing a corner. The spectator is told to turn around and the corner piece is stuck to the window behind him, on the outside.
Are the routines easy to do?Yes! with a little practice, even complete beginners can master these routines. Ben has refined the techniques over many years of performing them 'in the trenches', stripping out hard sleight of hand, and reducing the methods to their most direct and visual forms.Is this suitable to the working professional magician?Yes! These are not just effects in 'theory' Each one has been developed and perfected in the real world for maximum impact on a spectator and with practical performing considerations central to their construction. For TEAR-ibble and TEAR-ific, are the corners left with the spectators at the end of the trick, REALLY the corners from the signed cards? YES! The corners are REALLY from their signed cards! These are not just close matches, they genuinely are the original corners!Will I need to use Stooges?NO! There is no need to use stooges or hidden assistants of any kind for these effects.
We sent out advance copies to some of our customers and here are just a few of the responses:"What can I say.. more first class magic from Mr Williams" - H Marcus. Southport"Received my copy yesterday and have only learnt the first trick. LOVE IT.. I'm planning a 'sicky' off work to study the rest :)" - MagiMark. Kent "I was impressed most of all by TEAR-ibble. The moment when the corner disappears from the card right in the hands of the spectator. Very clever thinking. " - Jay. London

Okay for Nowby Gary D. Schmidt
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
As a fourteen-year-old who just moved to a new town, with no friends and a louse for an older brother, Doug Swieteck has all the stats stacked against him.
So begins a coming-of-age masterwork full of equal parts comedy and tragedy from Newbery Honor winner Gary D. Schmidt. As Doug struggles to be more than the "skinny thug" that his teachers and the police think him to be, he finds an unlikely ally in Lil Spicer — a fiery young lady who "smelled like daisies would smell if they were growing in a big field under a clearing sky after a rain." In Lil, Doug finds the strength to endure an abusive father, the suspicions of a whole town, and the return of his oldest brother, forever scarred, from Vietnam. Together, they find a safe haven in the local library, inspiration in learning about the plates of John James Audubon's birds, and a hilarious adventure on a Broadway stage.
In this stunning novel, Schmidt expertly weaves multiple themes of loss and recovery in a story teeming with distinctive, unusual characters and invaluable lessons about love, creativity, and survival.
"This companion to The Wednesday Wars follows the formula of Schmidt's Newbery Honor winner with less success. Doug Swieteck, a prankster in the previous book, has graver problems than Holling Hoodhood did, making the interplay of pathos and slapstick humor an uneasy fit. In summer 1968, the Swietecks leave Long Island for the Catskills, where Doug's father has found work. Doug's mother (like Holling's) is kind but ineffectual; Mr. Swieteck is a brutish jerk. His abuse of his three sons, one of whom is currently in Vietnam, happens mostly offstage, but one episode of unthinkable cruelty is recounted as a flashback to explain why Doug refuses to take off his shirt in gym class. Doug does make two key friends: Lil, whose father owns the deli for which Doug becomes delivery boy, and the less fleshed-out Mr. Powell, a librarian who instantly sees Doug's potential as an artist. There are lovely moments, but the late addition of an implausible subplot in which Lil, who has never shown an interest in acting, is drafted for a role in a Broadway play, seems desultory considering the story's weightier elements. Ages 10 — 14. (Apr.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWxyz LLC)
"This is Schmidt's best novel yet — darker than The Wednesday Wars and written with more restraint, but with the same expert attention to voice, character and big ideas." Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"Readers will miss Doug and his world when they're done, and will feel richer for having experienced his engaging, tough, and endearing story." School Library Journal (Starred Review)
"The book is exceptionally well written. Schmidt creates characters that will remain with the reader long after the book is done. Doug's voice is unforgettable as he tries to help and protect his mom....While there is much stacked against him, he is a character filled with hope that the reader cannot help but root for. Push this one on readers; they will not be sorry....Schmidt writes a journal-type story with a sharp attention to detail, patterns in the story line, and an unexpected twist at the end." VOYA
In this stunning novel, Newbery Honor winner Gary D. Schmidt expertly weaves multiple themes of loss and recovery in a story teeming with distinctive, unusual characters and invaluable lessons about love, creativity, and survival.
Perfect for fans of Jerry Spinelli and Gary D. Schmidt, this heartfelt coming-of-age story will make you believe in the power of second chances.
Eleven-year-old Sam Brattle is already having the worst Christmas ever his dads bakery is going bankrupt and his mom is spending the holidays with her new family. To make things worse, Nickel Bay Nick, the anonymous Good Samaritan who leaves hundred-dollar bills around Nickel Bay at Christmastime, is a no-show, so this year the rest of the town is as miserable as Sam. When he stumbles upon the secret identity of this mysterious do-gooder, Sam is stunned to learn that he might now be his towns only hope. But before he can rescue Nickel Bay, Sam has to learn the skills of a spy and unravel some even darker secrets that will change his life forever.
If there's one thing I've learned from comic books, it's that everybody has a weakness—something that can totally ruin their day without fail.
For the wolfman it's a silver bullet.
For Superman it's Kryptonite.
For me it was a letter.
With one letter, my dad was sent back to Afghanistan to fly Apache helicopters for the U.S. army.
Now all I have are his letters. Ninety-one of them to be exact. I keep them in his old plastic lunchbox—the one with the cool black car on it that says Knight Rider underneath. Apart from my comic books, Dad's letters are the only things I read more than once. I know which ones to read when I'm down and need a pick-me-up. I know which ones will make me feel like I can conquer the world. I also know exactly where to go when I forget Mom's birthday. No matter what, each letter always says exactly what I need to hear. But what I want to hear the most is that my dad is coming home.
About the Author
Gary D. Schmidt is the bestselling author of Okay For Now, the Newbery Honor and Printz Honor book Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy, and the Newbery Honor book The Wednesday Wars. He is a professor of English at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Salem, Massachusetts
Winter Island Park Campground
[ 9/10 ]
We stayed in Space 12 for 6 nights in a motorhome. This space was on the end so our side windows and front windows had full views of the bay, just feet from the water. I don't think I would have loved this park if we didn't have this spot. It's a funky campground and just an asphalt site but you can't beat waterfront camping. The location is very convenient to Salem attractions and an easy, inexpensive train ride to Boston. The Salem Trolley picks up in the parking lot, but we would skip the Trolley. It was a waste of time to wait for it for the hop on – easier to see the city on our own. The National Park Service Visitor Center is the best place to learn about the history, as always. Lowell National Historic Site is only 34 miles away and well worth a side trip.
Lincoln, New Hampshire
Country Bumpkins Campground and Cottages
[ 9/10 ]
We have the perfect campsite – T20 - looking straight out our front window is the river and a brook to the side. There is a cute little pond with ducks behind us. We have a 30 foot motorhome with toad that fit easily in this space. The location for Franconia Notch and the Kanc Hwy is very convenient. The Fall colors are already outstanding and the scenery and hiking couldn't be better. I thought we would have trouble reserving end of September, but this park and all the others are mostly empty.

Best ride for the buck. by TL lover on 09/08/2010. Trim: 2009 Acura TL 5-Spd AT SH-AWD w/Tech Pkg, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Best value for the price.
Cons: Nothing is wrong with this car. I love it.
Overall review: Not one competitor can offer a fully loaded car like this one, for less money. I know because I checked them all out prior to purchasing this car. It is comfortable, it is fast enough, it is safer then all the rest in the rain and it has been completely reliable during the past 13,000 miles. I owned an RL prior to this new TL and this car is better in every way. Try and buy a similar configured Audi, BMW or Merc for less than 40,000. They don't exist and although they all surpass the TL in one or two areas, none of them offer the complete package without paying an arm and a leg.

A blog detailing the struggle of squatters occupying buildings in Manchester.
So, its been one whole week since the builders came and literally took the roof from over our heads at 118.. bastards. And today, the 5-0 paid a visit to evict us for 'criminal damage' - i.e. fixing up some of the many broken bits of house with materials we found there… only to find we abandoned the place, as it was totally unlivable (they must have been so disappointed). As such, we are currently on the lookout for a new squat, but also some more squatters! As people have moved onto pastures new, we are short of a few heads to crack a new place, which is where you could help us out. As it is, there are only 2 or 3 of us actively scoping for a new place, and in reality that just isn't enough people to hold down a new squat, at least in the ever-precarious first few weeks.
There's been doors taped on a few likely looking places in South Manchester, and we've spied a few boarded up front doors that are also worth a look. SO, if anybody has knowledge of any abandoned houses that aren't completely destroyed, then please please get in touch, especially if you are needing somewhere to stay for a while (I've been sleeping on a floor in a shared room all week, its not great!).
If you're game, email email@example.com or alternatively find Jimmy Dread (thats me!) on facebook. After messaging please be patient, internet is something of a rare luxury when you're living out of a bag…
over and out, peace
Posted on August 27, 2010
Builders arrived today (20th August) and began putting scaffolding up in preparation for fixing the roof as warned by the landlord on the 17th. After calling the police and a number of solicitors, the only advice we got was to call Shelter. Shelter told the occupiers/squatters that they have to go down to the office to sign up - but as it is important they stay in the property to ensure the legitimacy of the section 6 this cannot happen. Both police and solicitors said - because no damage to the property has been done, they have no reason or jurisdiction to actually stop the work -this puts occupiers between a rock and a hard place. The main issue here is that the occupants of 118 have not been consulted about this 'repair work' and work has gone ahead regardless. If the roof is removed it will be dangerous for the occupants and a violation of section 6 - More importantly they will be without a home. If anyone has any advice , please get in touch. More updates will be posted soon.
If anybody else has numbers to send it would be really useful. Thanks for reading and following. X

Dickenson Rd and the surrounding area has been host to a number of squats in the last year. Some of which have been 'legally' evicted after one or more court appearances, and others are being occupied. These houses have played a central role in housing those who cannot afford to pay rapidly increasing rent payments, those who simply object to the principle of property and rent, or both.
118 Dickenson Rd has been sitting derelict for upwards of 6 years, becoming an eye saw to the community as well as attracting unwanted attention from individuals and groups who may intent to cause trouble. Around 6 weeks ago the property was occupied with the intention of making a habitable home out of a shell of a building. Since the locks were changed and the Section 6 was posted massive renovations have taken place inside and outside the property, from re-glazing broken windows to huge clean up of rubble left by previous occupiers.
After visit by the housing association employees who represent the owner of the property on the on the 16th August, the occupants of 118 had to talk down officers from the Greater Manchester Police Force who thought they could bully their way in and bully the squatters out (disregarding the law they claim to protect). After the police and housing association presumably consulted superiors (as it was quite clear they did not have any knowledge whatsoever of squatting laws themselves) both parties left without saying a word. It seemed like there would be no word again from the landlord until court papers were posted.
However…. on the 17th of August the land lord showed up began hurling abuse at the occupiers and then threw a brick through one of the windows on the side of the door before promptly fleeing the scene. This act is a breach of the Section 6 so occupiers rang the police. The G.M.P. promptly showed up and instantly wielded a battering ram at the front door, shouting statements such as "it's his house he can do what he wants" and "pah squatters don't have rights". This just strengthening the argument that the law enforcement agencies have no knowledge whatsoever of the law they are employed to protect as out of 3 cars and a vans worth of police not one of them knew squatting was a civil matter.
As the landlord has declared he will return in two or three days (of the 17th) and we obviously cannot trust the police to protect our rights as they only seem to care about the property owning classes, we must mobilise a group who will act as witnesses, and help prevent the landlord illegally evicting the squatters from their home. You don't have to be a squatter to be actively involved in the struggle!!
If you wish to be on the text/email list to help prevent illegal eviction of the property message your number over tumblr or email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks for reading….

But something has to give when you're sitting on 11billion in art but can't manage to provide basic services to your residents. If I thought Congress would ever in a million years go for it I'd propose the feds buy the art and lease it to cities, including Detroit, at very good rates. Hell, it could be a win win for everyone in the long run. But Congress hates everything that has to do with art or Detroit so this would never happen because reasons.
BUDD: Yep.
BILL: It was priceless.
BUDD: Not in El Paso it ain't. In El Paso I got me 250 Dollars for it.
Orr, who is trying to restructure the city's $11.5 billion of unsecured debt and speed up the biggest municipal bankruptcy case in U.S. history, said the auction house will also advise the city on "non-sale alternatives" for realizing value from the collection.The Detroit News
That could mean the city wants to borrow money while using the highly valuable Van Goghs and Matisses as collateral, Southfield-based bankruptcy attorney Michael Leib said.
Here's the thing about Detroit. DIA is in a unique situation where a substantial amount of the art in the museum was bought by the city itself, not donated as gifts. To date, there's no indication that the appraisal work being done goes beyond those works bought by the city and not a donation.Why Detroit's Art Is Like the Barnes Foundation

Hospital visitation policy protecting same-sex couples takes effect today
Inga Sarda-Sorensen
Director of Communications
(Office) 646.358.1463
(Cell) 202.641.5592
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 — Federal regulations on hospital visitation take effect today that protect same-sex couples in hospital settings across the country. The new regulations apply to all hospitals receiving funds from the federal government under the Medicaid and Medicare programs for the needy and elderly. Under the regulations, hospitals may not place any restrictions on visitation based on sexual orientation. In addition, the hospitals must inform each patient of his or her right to receive visitors designated by the patient, "including, but not limited to, a spouse, a domestic partner (including a same-sex domestic partner), another family member or a friend." Any hospital found to violate the new rules risks losing a major source of revenue.
Statement by Rea Carey, Executive Director
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
"Today marks a step forward in ensuring same-sex couples are no longer discriminated against in hospital settings. Of all the things same-sex couples have to worry about, of all the discrimination and pressures we face, not being able to see our partner or spouse shouldn't be one of them. This new policy will have a positive impact on same-sex couples and our families throughout the nation. We thank the administration for taking this step, but continue to urge for the removal of barriers to full protections for our families, which includes repealing DOMA."

Stay steady and strong for longer
Monday, 23 September 2013
Hampshire County Council and Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust's 'Steady and Strong' community exercise classes are spreading across the county.
New classes are starting in New Milton, Hart, Basingstoke and Fareham with classes in Rushmoor and Wickham starting in January. A full list of classes can be found at Better Balance for Life or by contacting Sophie Jevons on 01962 846605.
The classes are designed to improve strength, balance, confidence and coordination for older people using exercises based on everyday activities. Qualified Postural Stability Instructors with experience of working with older people lead the classes and exercises can be done sitting or standing depending upon the person's ability, with the aim of progressing to performing the exercises without support. The classes are held in church halls, community centres, leisure centres and sheltered housing.
Steady & Strong classes are suitable for any older person in Hampshire who has had or who is worried about having a fall, has decreased mobility or has trouble with their balance. People who have completed short courses of exercise with physiotherapy teams following hospital admission can join too to maintain the benefits they gained.
Hampshire County Council's Executive Member for Adult Social Care, Councillor Anna McNair Scott, said: "Exercise is one of the most important factors in preventing a fall and these classes are a great way for older peoplewanting to stay active and independent to meet up and have fun while exercising."
"Having a fall can have a serious impact on anyone's life - but for older people the consequences are even greater, including a loss of independence, mobility and confidence as well as the time it takes to recover. By preventing falls, older people's chances of staying independent at home are significantly increased and they can continue to live an active lifestyle."
Southern Health's Lead Falls Prevention Specialist Sue Morris said: "Preventing falls and fractures for older people is a key priority for Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust and we are delighted to be working with Hampshire County Council in developing this important work."
The classes last for an hour and are run in a friendly atmosphere and usually close with the opportunity for a chat over a cup of tea. The prices vary from £3 - £3.50 per session.

A good transport system is vital to the economic prosperity of any city. Delivering a good transport system includes the challenges of managing congestion and the provision of a world-class public transport system, with the aim of providing maximum mobility. All this has to be delivered as safely as possible, which is London Road Safety Unit's (LRSU) challenge.
The financial cost to the community of collisions in London in 2008 is calculated to be almost £2.2 billion. This takes into account lost output, medical and ambulance costs and human costs. The physical, social and emotional burden to our society is immeasurable.
The tragedy of road collisions is that in the majority of cases they are avoidable. The causes are complex, but good road and vehicle design can help to minimise the injuries. This has tended to be the thrust of road safety in the past. LRSU are now looking towards the attitudes and behaviours of road users as an area to be progressed in order to further reduce casualties on our roads.
The battle to reduce collisions and casualties centres around inclusive partnership working that focuses on:
- Engineering
- Education
- Enforcement
- Evaluation
These four E's mutually reinforce each other and are all an integral part of road safety. Substantial resources need to be invested in the four E's to try to reduce the number of collisions and casualties on London's roads, and the economic, physical, social and emotional burden to society.
Health & emergency services
Death and injury on the road, have a significant impact on the time and resources of our health and emergency services. Road safety engineering, education, enforcement and evaluation can lead to fewer collisions and free up health service and emergency services resources.
Staying at, or within, the speed limit can reduce CO2 emissions as well as reducing the amount of petrol used. Therefore encouraging safer driving (within recommended limits) can also benefit the environment.
Road safety education is vital in helping to reduce the number of children (and adults) killed on our roads. Despite road death being the biggest single killer of children in the UK, road safety education is not currently a statutory subject in the national curriculum. LRSU believes it is paramount that researched, progressive, engaging curriculum linked educational resources are provided free to all teachers and children throughout London.
Social inclusion
Research has shown that statistically, people in areas of higher deprivation, or where English predominantly isn't their first language, are at higher risk of having road collisions. Road safety programmes and safer roads can, not only save lives, but encourage stronger communities, regenerate urban areas and connect isolated groups.
Collisions and casualties also often involve instances of law breaking and crime. Reducing collisions therefore contributes to crime reduction.

PLAYERS: Peyton Manning

TEAMS: Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, New York Giants
After another huge victory by the Denver Broncos, we just have to start wondering; will this team go undefeated? The Broncos are led by a veteran head coach that has been there, done that, the defense is relentless, especially playing with a lead, and of course, Peyton Manning is the best in the business at cutting through opponents' defenses like butter. In the coming days and weeks, the question of whether the Broncos will go unbeaten will get beaten to death. That being the case, and largely since we've already addressed that question once here at TGS, I won't get into the unbeaten talk just yet. In a couple of months, maybe, but not now. Instead, I thought it would be a better brain exercise to consider how this season's Broncos would fare against the 2007 Patriots. For those of you that don't remember, the 2007 Patriots ran through the NFL season, going 16-0. They breezed through the AFC side of the playoff bracket, but when they were pitted against the New York Giants in...

My son started going to Hoiy Trinity School when he was in 2nd grade. He liked the school ever since. He is now in the 3rd grade and is always looking forward to go to school. For us we like the class size in which the teacher can devote more time to each students. The schedule is balanced with computer classm, P.E. and even Japanese classes. submitted by a parent of a 3rd grader
Holy Trinity School is ranked high for its academic programs by the Western States Region for accreditation. Greater than 90% of students are accepted at their private high school of choice. If you are moving to Hawaii this is a safe place to have your children receive a high quality private education.
Holy Trinity School provides a loving, nuturing atmosphere along with a challenging curriculum. The children learn the school's motto, 'Living God's Love,' by the example set by the faculty.
An absolute joy! Our daughter has only been enrolled for 1 semester, but she loves going to school in the mornings. The faculty is top notch, and they have found the key to making learning fun. I just can't say enough: our daughter is happy, she is receiving a great education, and the faculty is wonderful. We have to move again soon, and I would almost consider giving up my job so we did not have to take her out of this school.
This school has impressed me very much. My daughter has excelled with the assistance of very dedicated teachers and faculty. The students work hard and can balance out extra curricular activities such as sports. My daughter really likes the school and hesitates on the idea of one day having to change to another school when it will be time to do so. I recommend this school to anyone with the interest of giving their child a good education. E.R. Meza
Holy Trinity is an excellent, affordable Catholic school just minutes from our house. I am a proud alumni, have one child in 4th grade and one that graduated who was accepted into Maryknoll, St. Louis, and Kamehameha. Their dedicated teachers can academically challenge and motivate each student because of the small class size which, I believe, is crucial to a child s individual achievement and development. Holy Trinity is committed to the development of my son s character, teaching strong Christian values through its many social justice and community activities. Their after school teachers ensure his homework is completed as well as checked, and discipline is not a problem in such a loving and caring environment (my son is borderline ADHD). We LOVE Holy Trinity School.
Holy Trinity is a great little school with moral values. I feel that this school teaches their students the fundamentals needed to to be a person of good character. Holy Trinity incorporates many social justice issues their evey day teaching. Acedemically, the school is supurb. A very strong Language Arts program is evident the the works of the children...

Hubnetwork.com, Hubworld.com, Hubbub.com and any other Websites we may operate including, without limitation, any related mobile applications we have published (collectively, "The Hub Websites", and individually, a "Website") bring you the coolest information about the world of Hub Television Networks, LLC ("The Hub", "we", "us" or "our") and the videos, games and activities you can enjoy here. We respect the privacy rights of our online visitors and are committed to providing you with a secure online environment. We have adopted this online Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") that guides how we collect, store and use the information you provide us online.
If you are a parent or guardian and are interested in knowing more about our policy regarding the online collection of information from children, we recommend reviewing the Note To Parents below.
If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you should contact the Website Administrator by using the following link and clicking here.
What Information Do We Collect?
In order to give you the most exciting Internet experience possible, we may request and/or collect information from you on a voluntary basis when you do the following activities on The Hub Websites: (1) register with us; (2) participate in sweepstakes, contests, events or promotions; (3) fill out online surveys; (4) share postcards, videos, games or pages with friends; (5) submit photographs, videos and/or other forms of user-generated content; (6) newsletters and/or email messages; (7) any other online activities and/or (8) as required by law. The requested information may include personal information such as your name, e-mail address, telephone number, home address and/or a government-issued identification number. For some activities, we may also ask you to create a username and password and/or, on an optional basis, to provide demographic information such as your age, gender, birthdate, zip code, time zone and/or cable provider. If demographic information is collected for an activity that also requires personal information, we may combine the demographic information with your personal information except as otherwise noted in this Privacy Policy. In the case of our mobile applications, there may be a software feature that allows you to enter a preset code from us to unlock certain activities in the application, accessorize a photo from your mobile device, or set a calendar reminder on your mobile device for certain shows that you have selected. In each case, we do not solicit, collect, store, record, track or register any personal information from you (or from your device) in order for you to participate in these activities.
If you are under the age of 13, only your parent or legal guardian may provide your personal information to us for online activities, unless it is under the specified exceptions as otherwise described in this Policy. Kids, if you are ever unsure about anything you are seeing on this Website, ask your parent or legal guardian for help. See Note To Parents below for more information.
Whatever the activity may be, we will only collect information to the extent deemed reasonably necessary to fulfill your requests and our legitimate business objectives. If you do not want to submit personal information when requested, you (including your child if he/she is under the age of 13) may not be able to access certain areas or participate in certain activities on our Website. However, you (including if you are under the age of 13) do not need to provide personal information to us in order to use our Websites generally.
1. Registration
Registration is not required in order to use our Websites. However, if you choose to register an account, you will be able to participate in additional online activities on this Website. There are two registration options: a MyHub registered account and a FamilyHub registered account (which first requires a registered MyHub account). If you (including if you are under the age of 13) register for a MyHub account, you will be required to create a username and password. We do not collect any personal information in that registration process. We may also request demographic information on an optional basis (e.g., gender, time zone and cable provider) at the point of MyHub account registration. As a MyHub registered user, you can mark your favorite videos, games and other activities, keep a record of your scores for games played by you on the Website, and you can also receive updates to a private account status page about general news from The Hub, among other activities. We cannot, however, contact or communicate with you directly through a MyHub registered account. A MyHub registered user may participate in additional online activities on this Website if he/she is a member of a FamilyHub "group" or, for certain other online activities, only if his/her parent/legal guardian has granted verifiable parental consent for such participation through parental controls of a FamilyHub registered user account.
If you register for a FamilyHub account, which requires you to be at least age 18 and/or a parent/legal guardian, you are required to submit your full name, email address, birthdate, zip code and an identification number from a U.S. government-issued identification (e.g., your driver's license) in order to confirm your age through our support provider entity's verification procedure. We do not store your birthdate, zip code and/or government-issued identification information, but only use such information for the sole purpose of verifying age. Such verification (a) primarily enables a method of verifiable parental consent, in accordance with COPPA, for a FamilyHub registered user to permit or restrict his/her child under the age of 13 with a MyHub user account to participate in certain online activities on this Website (e.g., submission of user-generated content to an online gallery on the Website, collection of such child's email address, and/or participation in other FamilyHub "groups") and (b) allows a FamilyHub registered user herself/himself to participate in certain additional activities on this Website. For example, if you are a FamilyHub registered user, in addition to the online activities in which a MyHub user can participate, you may submit user-generated content to an online gallery on the Website; invite and enlist MyHub registered users to be a part of your FamilyHub "group"; challenge other MyHub users in your FamilyHub "group" to online games; and control administrative features that may impact the online participation of other MyHub users in your FamilyHub "group", depending on the impacted activities and whether such MyHub user is your child. We may also request demographic information on an optional basis (e.g., gender, time zone and cable provider) at the point of FamilyHub account registration but we do not combine such demographic information with your personal information. We cannot contact or communicate with you directly through a FamilyHub registered account. If we need to contact you about your user account, provide you notifications or request prior parental consent, we may contact you directly through the email address that you provided upon, and that was required for, such FamilyHub registration process.
FamilyHub registered accounts and MyHub registered accounts may be deleted by the respective account user at any time by logging in and deleting his/her account or, if the MyHub registered account belongs to a child under the age of 13, his/her parent/legal guardian may also delete the account through the administrative controls of a FamilyHub registered account or by contacting our Website Administrator. A FamilyHub user who is a parent/legal guardian of a MyHub user may also revoke and/or override a permission granted for that MyHub user to join other FamilyHub groups if such permission was granted by a FamilyHub user not the parent/legal guardian of such MyHub user.
2. Sweepstakes/Promotions/Contests
To participate in some of our promotions, you may be asked to provide an e-mail address or screen name, so that we can let you know if you won a prize. If we request only your e-mail address or screen name, please do not use your real name for such promotions. For other promotions, except for children under the age of 13, we may also request your full name, phone number and/or home address in order to contact you to let you know if you won a prize or to send you products or information by regular mail.
For children under the age of 13, we will not collect the child's personal information from them for a sweepstakes or contest; however we may collect the child's e-mail address to enter the child in the sweepstakes or contest, store such e-mail address for the duration of the sweepstakes/contest, use it only to notify the child on a one-time basis that he/she is a winner and then delete all children's e-mail addresses collected for the promotion immediately thereafter. In some sweepstakes or contests, we may also collect the e-mail address of the child's parent (or guardian) to inform the parent of the child's entry, provide the parent an option to have the child's entry deleted, and/or notify the parent that their child has won (if applicable).
Your personal information (or personal information for children under the age of 13) collected for our promotions is not shared with any third parties, except with entities who use it solely to provide support for the operations of the sweepstakes/promotion/contest.
3. Sharing Content with Friends
By allowing you to send postcards, videos, games, pages, or other content to friends, we are not attempting to collect any personal information about you or the person you are e-mailing (including if you or the person you are e-mailing is under the age of 13). We will use the personal information supplied (such as your first name (as the sender), your friend's first name (as the recipient) and your friend's e-mail address) only to send the postcards, videos, games, pages or other content as you request. This is a one-time e-mail initiated by the user of the Website and this information is not stored or used by us, other than to execute the e-mail. We collect e-mail addresses to send or share content with a friend only to transmit the requested e-mail and delete such e-mail address immediately thereafter.
4. Online Surveys
In order to improve the user experience at our Websites, we may employ online surveys for visitors (including visitors who are children under the age of 13) to volunteer anonymous demographic information about themselves and provide us feedback about why they visit our Websites and what we can do to make them better. Unless otherwise indicated at the time of collection and/or as described in this Privacy Policy, information collected through these surveys is anonymous; we cannot identify who is submitting the information or tie it to other personally identifiable information a user may have provided us through another means. In certain circumstances, we may employ an online survey for visitors in which we request personally identifiable information only if the visitor is at least age 13 or, if the visitor is under the age of 13, the visitor's parent or legal guardian must have provided prior verifiable parental consent before we may collect any such personally identifiable information from such visitor.
5. User-Generated Content
For purposes of specific promotional campaigns, including without limitation, sweepstakes, contests and/or similar activities, we may, on occasion, permit you to submit or upload a photograph, video or other form of user-generated content on one of our Websites as a means of participating in the promotional campaign. In these cases, if you are a visitor of our Website who is a child under the age of 13, we will not collect, store or use user-generated content from you without first obtaining verifiable parental consent, unless that particular user-generated content submission has first been pre-moderated by us (or one of our support provider entities) immediately following the upload submission process and proven not to contain nor constitute personally identifiable information about you. However, if such pre-moderation indicates the user-generated content submission does constitute personally identifiable information from a child under the age of 13, we will immediately delete such user-generated content submission from our records. With regard to ongoing online galleries on our Website that exhibit or display user-generated content, only FamilyHub registered users and MyHub registered users who have received prior verifiable parental consent from a FamilyHub user may submit user-generated content for online gallery exhibition. If you are a FamilyHub registered user, you may also upload user-generated content in limited circumstances when building your account profile. In all cases of user-generated content of our Websites, all submissions are moderated by us (or a support provider entity) prior to exhibition online. Except as otherwise described in this paragraph and Privacy Policy, MyHub users and non-registered users of this Website may not submit user-generated content on our Websites.
6. Electronic Newsletters/Promotional Emails
On occasion, we may circulate to you electronic newsletters and/or email messages that contain news updates or marketing and promotional content about The Hub only if you provide us your email address and actively "opt-in" to receiving such information from us. If you are under the age of 13, your parent/legal guardian must provide prior parental consent for your receipt of such information and either provide us your email address or permit you to "opt-in" to receive the information following such consent. We will also not share your email address or any other personal information that you provide to us with affiliates and/or third parties for purposes of their direct marketing unless you, or if you are under the age of 13 your parent/legal guardian, provide us prior consent and/or indicate an "opt-in" to sharing such information with those affiliates and/or third parties beforehand. You (or if you are under the age of 13, your parent) may change your preferences regarding your receipt of such emails and electronic newsletters at any time through the "opt-out" or unsubscribe link in the email, by logging in to your registered FamilyHub user account and changing your (or your child's) preferences, or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.
Who is Collecting My Information and How Will it be Used?
In general, you (including if you are a child under the age of 13) do not need to provide personal information to us in order to use our Websites. The Hub may collect personal information you provide (unless you are under the age of 13 except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy) on The Hub Websites in the limited circumstances described in this Policy. If we do collect any personal information, we may use such information for our internal marketing and demographic studies, so we can constantly improve the services we provide you and can better meet your needs. The demographic information (e.g., age and gender) you provide us is collected by us and may be disclosed in aggregate to third parties only for internal business purposes such as demographic and marketing studies. This aggregate demographic information cannot be used to personally identify you or your computer. For purposes of determining the channel on which The Hub airs in your location, we (and/or our applicable support provider entity) may collect demographic information such as your zip code, time zone, and cable provider. We do not store nor do we combine this demographic information with any personal information of our users.
With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?
From time to time, we may employ and share our customers' personal information (including that of children under the age of 13) with entities that use it solely to provide support for the internal operations of The Hub Websites (e.g., online registration and email services, or technical support). These entities will not use your personal information for any other purpose or in a way inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, and have agreed to maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the personal information they obtain from us.
Similarly, some of our support provider entities, which may include third party administered Websites, may collect your personal information directly. First, in the instances where the support provider is identified by a "Powered by" logo or where we notify users that they are leaving The Hub Websites for a third party administered website (e.g., including, without limitation, applying for a job through our Jobs section, emailing questions to Viewer Relations, emailing questions to Customer Service and/or clicking on third party advertisements online), this Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information you submit to these support provider sites or third party administered Websites. Your use of these Websites and/or applications is subject to the third parties' privacy policies and we encourage you to read such policies before submitting personal or other information to those Websites. Second, in other instances where you enter online promotions and activities on our webpages that have the look and feel of The Hub Websites (e.g., including without limitation, entering Hub-branded sweepstakes and contests, submitting photos and/or videos for posting and/or participating in other similar online promotions), a third party support provider entity may directly collect your personal information. In such cases, this Privacy Policy and/or such third party support provider's Privacy Policy may apply to the personal information you submit to these support provider sites. In both instances noted in this paragraph, these entities have agreed not to use your personal information for any purpose other than that stated when you submit the information, and have agreed to maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the personal information they obtain from you. We may disclose personal information (including that of children under the age of13) in the good faith belief that we are required to do so by law, including but not limited to disclosure to law enforcement or other government officials in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose you or us to legal liability.
We do not sell, rent, or otherwise disclose personal information collected from and about our users (including children under the age of 13) to third parties for promotional purposes. However, in the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or other similar event, our user information may be transferred to our successor or assign, if permitted by and done in accordance with applicable law. Please see our "Questions and Complaints" section below for instructions on how we will notify you of such an event.
The chart here lists the names of some of our third party partners and support provider entities, which may provide administrative services to our Websites. These entities may change from time to time.
Cookies and Clear GIFs
We use cookies and clear GIFs to enhance your experience at our Websites. These cookies and clear GIFs let us know how many people are coming to individual sites, how frequently, and how they are using the sites, allowing us to make updates to content and improve navigation as appropriate.
Cookies are pieces of information that we place on your computer to help us accurately understand how many consumers are visiting a particular site, how often they visit that site, and what content they are most interested in. For example, a cookie will allow us to remember certain things, such as your Internet Protocol or "IP" address (an IP address is the string of numbers that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent across the Internet), your login information, the time and duration of your visits, how you navigated through our content and where you exited a particular site. To save you the time of re-entering your login information every time you come back to our Websites, we may link information contained in a cookie to your email address (including that of registered children under the age of 13). We do not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that we did not originally send in a cookie.
Clear GIFs, sometimes called "Web bugs," are file objects, usually a graphic image such as a transparent one pixel-by-one pixel GIF (Graphics Interchange Format, one of the two most common file formats for images on the Web), that are placed on a Web page or in an e-mail message to monitor user behavior. The GIF tells us the IP address of the computer that fetched our page, the URL of the page the GIF is on, the time the page was viewed, the type of browser used, and can tell us a previously set cookie value. This anonymous information is returned by the clear GIF to us and we use this information to accurately count visitors across The Hub Websites and understand how they navigate and use our sites. We do not combine information gathered through clear GIFs with your personal information.
Flash LSOs
Third parties with whom we partner use local shared objects (LSOs), also known as Flash cookies, to store display content based upon what you view on our site(s) to personalize your visit and to provide certain features on our site(s).
Flash cookies are different from browser cookies because of the amount of, type of, and how data is stored. Cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies. To learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies click here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html#117118
Log Files
Other information passively collected by us is in the form of logs - files that record website activity and gather statistics about web users' browsing habits. These entries are generated anonymously, and helps us determine (among other things) how many and how often users have visited our Websites, which pages they've visited, and other similar data. We also use the log file entries for our internal marketing and demographic studies, so we can constantly improve the online services we provide you. Log files are used internally only, and are not associated with any particular user, computer, or browser.
Third Party Ad Servers
Our Websites use third-party advertising networks and other third-party service providers (collectively, "Third Party Ad Servers") to serve advertisements on the Websites. These Third Party Ad Servers do not have access to our data collection technologies on these Websites except to the extent necessary to provide their services to these Websites, but they may have the ability to collect non-personally identifiable information on these Websites through their own technologies and/or they may otherwise have access to other information about you. Information is not collected or used on these Websites for the purpose of delivering targeted advertising to you based on your Web viewing behaviors.
Linking to Third Party Sites
Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to The Hub Websites, and not to websites operated by other companies or organizations to which we link. When you link to any other websites from The Hub Websites, this Privacy Policy no longer applies and The Hub does not control the activities of those websites.
To provide relevant information not found on our Websites and to allow you to interact with other websites on which you may have accounts, we may provide links or embed third-party applications that allow login from our Websites to third party websites or third party support providers. In these cases, we will: (i) notify users when they are leaving The Hub Website or otherwise indicate that you will be going to a third party's website or (ii) identify such website with a "Powered by" logo. Your use of these Websites and/or applications is subject to the third parties' privacy policies, and we encourage you to read the third party sites' privacy policies before submitting personal or other information or using the applications.
We will not send you newsletters and/or promotional e-mails about our products and/or services unless you "opt-in" to receive such information. If you are receiving such e-mails or newsletters and at a later date you choose to opt-out so you no longer receive such emails and/or your personal information (e.g., your email address) cannot be shared with any third parties for their direct marketing purposes, you can do so by using the "opt-out" or unsubscribe link included within the e-mail or by sending an e-mail to us by clicking here.
Please note that "welcome" and service e-mail communications are not promotional in nature and, therefore, an opt-out is not provided. These are simply to notify the user of a service they recently signed up for or to notify the user of Web site issues.
Safeguarding Your Personal Information
We will only collect personal information to the extent deemed reasonably necessary to serve our legitimate business purposes, and we will take appropriate steps to ensure the security and integrity of any information (including that of children under the age of 13) you provide to us. Any information provided to us on The Hub Websites is housed in a secure datacenter and sensitive information is secured using SSL encryption.
Review, Update and Removal of Personal Information
If we have collected personal information from you (including if you are a child under the age of 13 under a one-time collection as noted in this Policy) on our Websites, you (or your parent/legal guardian) may at any time review, delete inaccuracies, and/or update the personal information we have for you, opt-out of sharing your information with third parties, or inform us that you want us to remove your information from our database by using the following link by clicking here. If you choose to send us an e-mail, please be sure to include in your message the name of the site to which you submit your personal information and the e-mail address you submitted so that we can verify your request. If your personal information (or personal information of a child under the age of 13) was collected by a third party administered website or support provider website linked to The Hub Websites (as described in "With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?" and "Linking to Third Party Sites") and you seek to review and/or update such personal information, this Privacy Policy does not apply and you must consult such third party's privacy policy on the matters addressed in this paragraph.
Your California Privacy Rights:
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits our visitors who are California residents to opt-out of our disclosure of any personal information (e.g., email addresses) that we may share with third parties for their direct marketing purposes as described in this Privacy Policy. You may choose to opt-out of the sharing of such information by using the "opt-out" or unsubscribe link included in the email you received or you may send us an email requesting such opt-out by clicking here.
California law also requires us to disclose whether we respond to "Do Not Track" signals. As The Hub does not track users across websites, we do not support or use "Do Not Track" signals from web browsers or other mechanisms regarding the online tracking of users.

Any questions or complaints about The Hub or this Privacy Policy can be addressed by contacting us by using the following link by clicking here.
Changes to Privacy Policy
If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes to this Privacy Policy, the home page, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by e-mail, or by means of a notice on our home page.
If we make material changes to how we use Personal Information collected from children under age 13, we will notify parents by email in order to obtain verifiable parental consent or, if we do not have such emails to contact parents directly, by reasonable means on our website for the new uses of the child's Personal Information.

Thanks. Have fun!
We have developed our Websites to be an enjoyable experience for children (and adults) of all ages. We recognize that some younger children may not understand some of the information contained on the Websites or how the sites operate. That is the purpose of the Privacy Policy. Please discuss this statement with your children so that they will better understand how to use the sites and the information they may be asked to provide. We strongly believe that providing our visitors with accurate and adequate notice about The Hub Websites will lead to informed choices and decisions about how to use the sites, as well as protect our users' privacy. If you have any questions or comments about our policy, please contact us using the Contact Information provided below. For all issues, you may contact us by using the following link by clicking here. Please note that if your child's personal information was collected by a third party administered website or support provider website linked to The Hub Websites (as described in "With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?" and "Linking to Third Party Sites"), this Privacy Policy does not apply and you must consult such third party's privacy policy on the matters addressed in this paragraph, including without limitation the means of collection, use and disclosure of children's personal information and parental access to children's personal information.
Children Under the Age of 13
1. Collection and Use of Children's Personal Information
In general, children under the age of 13 can view our content, videos, pages, and play games on The Hub Websites without us collecting their personal information. With regard to sweepstakes/contests/promotions, if we collect and store personal information about children under the age of 13 ("children" or "child"), it is under the one-time collection exception (as noted in "What Information Do We Collect?") or is voluntarily submitted by the child's parent or guardian. If provided by the parent or guardian, we may collect the child's name, phone number, email and mailing address only when necessary to fulfill a transaction, such as sending the winner of a contest or sweepstakes the awarded prize. With regard to other online activities on The Hub Websites (e.g. user-generated content submissions or email collection), we do not collect personal information of children under the age of 13 unless their parent/legal guardian voluntarily submits such information to us or we receive verifiable parental consent prior to such collection of information (as noted in "What Information Do We Collect?"). On The Hub Websites generally, we may also collect demographic information about a child such as the child's gender, and other preferences. For information on how we use cookies and other information collection tools, please see our section on "Cookies and Clear GIFs" (above). We may also use the information for our internal marketing and demographic studies so that we can constantly improve the products and services we provide our visitors and to better meet their needs.
Please note that we are prohibited from conditioning a child's participation in an activity - like contests - on the child's disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity. This means that if we don't need a specific piece of information (like the child's phone number) to allow the child to participate in a contest, we simply won't ask for it. Please also see our section on "What Information Do We Collect?" with regard to sweepstakes/contests/promotions and children under the age of 13. To read about the steps we take to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of children's personal information, please see our section on "Safeguarding your Personal Information" (above).

3. Disclosure of Children's Personal Information
Please read the section titled "With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?" (above) for our policy on the disclosure of personal information collected from and about children under the age of 13.
4. Parental Access to Children's Personal Information
A parent who has already given us permission to collect and use his or her child's personal information can, at any time, do the following: (1) review, correct, or have deleted the child's personal information; and/or, (2) discontinue further collection or use of the child's personal information. To do so, please contact us by using the following link by clicking here and be sure to include your child's name and email address, your name and email address, and the name of the site at which such information was collected. To make changes to your child's demographic information, you may also visit the online profile section of one of our sites. We will be happy to honor your request.

Back to Conditions & Treatments Index
All anticancer drugs target tumors in some way. Most conventional treatments, however, attack healthy cells as well as cancer cells. As a result, there can be serious side effects from the treatment.
A newer approach to cancer treatment, molecularly targeted therapy, may help reduce side effects. The medication takes a more direct aim at cancer cells, and that means less damage to healthy cells.,/p>
Targeted therapies are designed to recognize a specific molecular change in a cancer cell that drives the growth and spread of a tumor. By zeroing in on its molecular target, these new medications destroy or slow the growth of cancer cells while avoiding normal, healthy cells. And because healthy tissues are spared, targeted therapies tend to bring about fewer and less severe side effects than conventional treatments.
Some targeted therapies home in on tumors by seeking out molecules found only in cancer cells. Other targeted agents seek out molecules that are more abundant in cancer cells than in healthy cells. And still other treatments are focused on processes that are more important to the growth of cancer cells than normal cells.
