Welcome to ADHD Awareness Week 2011! A Message from ADDA's President, Evelyn Polk Green
In the excitement of ADHD Awareness Week preparations, I've enjoyed reminiscing about its humble-and humorous*-beginnings. This year we mark the 8th anniversary of this national period dedicated to raising awareness and understanding of ADHD. We've certainly come a long way! A small group of determined ADDA members (including three of ADDA's president's, past and present-David Giwerc, Michelle Novotni and myself) chasing a dream has evolved into the ADHD Awareness Week Coalition. Four key organizations (ADDA, ADDitude Magazine, ACO and CHADD) supported by many others, work tirelessly to coordinate all aspects of ADHD Awareness Week.
When ADDA's representative, Zandra Maffet (for whom all of us at ADDA are so grateful-she has made a tremendous contribution to the success of ADHD Awareness), was travelling and unable to participate, I briefly worked with the coalition, which triggered my "stroll" down memory lane. For several years I was part of a VERY small group of ADDA members determined to establish ADHD Awareness Day (Day, not Week!) No organization wanted anything to do with us, insisting the days, weeks and months dedicated to Mental Health Awareness were sufficient; we didn't need special ADHD Awareness! Everyone was clear that without the support of major "players" in the advocacy world, our efforts would fail; ADDA was too small and insignificant to ever be able to create an ADHD Awareness Day.
Committed (or stubborn), we never let the naysayers stop us. Through the vision of Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Washington) and the sheer will of a few dedicated ADDA members, ADHD Awareness Day has become a week-long opportunity to promote ADHD awareness and understanding to policy makers, educators, the media and the general public.
My reminiscing made me realize that my personal journey paralleled the evolution of ADHD Awareness Week. ADDA's intention was not just to raise awareness of ADHD, but also to encourage individuals challenged by ADHD to empower themselves through education and advocacy. In the earliest days, I was just beginning to acknowledge and work on my issues as an adult with ADHD, having focused on my children's issues with the disorder, and I've grown and succeeded right along with ADDA.
ADDA has always focused on strengths; we believe awareness and education is the best path for people with ADHD to live fulfilling, successful and productive lives. That's why passing the Senate Resolution was so important to us, and why I feel tremendous pride for both myself and ADDA when I think of the how our original modest efforts have grown; we now have a whole week internationally recognized and set aside to raise awareness and understanding about ADHD! But I also feel proud of my own growth as an ADHD adult; I've empowered myself through education and advocacy.
That's why ADDA created ADHD Awareness Day-and it is ADDA's greatest hope for each and every person living with ADHD. Get the facts-empower yourself with education, then learn to advocate and use your knowledge and skill to create a happy, successful and fulfilled life.
*If you're interested in a behind-the-scenes look at how ADHD Awareness Day-now ADHD Awareness Week-started, tune in to Attention Talk Radio on Wednesday October 19th at 8pm EST. Following Michele Novotni's interview recounting the "official" story of the birth of ADHD Awareness Day in 2004, Michele, David Giwerc and Evelyn Polk-Green will tell the REAL story, sharing their experiences of writing the original ADHD Awareness Day Senate Resolution that put the event on the national radar.

March 22, 2012, 3:16 PM — Eucalyptus has become far more attractive to enterprises wishing to build private clouds, now that the number-one cloud provider -- Amazon Web Services -- has thrown its weight behind the software company.
On Thursday, Amazon said that it would support Eucalyptus' efforts to support Amazon Web Services' APIs (application programming interfaces). Such support makes it easier for companies to move workloads between an internal private cloud based on Eucalyptus and the AWS public cloud.
"As Amazon's only approved platform, [Eucalyptus] can expect its attach rate within organizations consuming Amazon cloud resources to improve substantially," Stephen O'Grady, a Redmonk analyst, wrote in a blog post about the announcement.
The partnership is crucial for Eucalyptus, which has been operating under a cloud of uncertainty since it wasn't clear if Amazon approved of its use of its APIs. O'Grady wrote that some companies wouldn't consider using Amazon's APIs because their legal departments were worried about potential intellectual-property violations.
"Amazon is, for the first time, playing the intellectual property trump card it has been holding in reserve," O'Grady wrote.
The announcement also indicates that for the first time Amazon is recognizing that it needs to support the idea of private clouds. "It's a validation of the private cloud publicly by AWS," said Joshua McKenty, CEO of Piston Cloud, a company that makes private-cloud software based on OpenStack, a competitor to Eucalyptus.
Despite Amazon's position as the dominant public cloud provider, it faces a common complaint from users or potential users who say it's too hard to get their data out of AWS. Making it easier for customers to move data between a private cloud and Amazon's cloud minimizes this issue "as an angle of attack for competitors who might otherwise attempt to sell against Amazon by emphasizing its public cloud-only technology story," O'Grady wrote.
In fact, its openness has been one of OpenStack's biggest selling points. Giants including AT&T, Dell, Internap and Hewlett-Packard have announced or launched public clouds that use the OpenStack software. Many companies like Piston now offer software that enterprises can use to build their own OpenStack clouds. Because they're all based on OpenStack, users should be able to more easily move projects between their private clouds and the public clouds.
That's one big advantage for OpenStack over Eucalyptus, McKenty said. OpenStack users have more options of public clouds, while Eucalyptus users have only AWS as a compatible public cloud option.

Texas receiver commits to Utes
The Salt Lake Tribune
Published: January 16, 2012 06:50PM
Updated: January 16, 2012 06:50PM
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham and recruiting coordinator Morgan Scalley continued to land commitments Monday, with receiver Brian Allen out of La Marque, Texas committing to Utah during a home visit with the coaches.
The 6-foot-3 receiver had plans to trip to Nevada but was going to cancel them. Utah won his commitment based on the football and engineering program.
"I liked the atmosphere there and the engineering, you can't any better than that," he said. "Coach Whittingham and Scalley sealed the deal today."
The receiver said he loves playing aggressively.
"If the ball is in the air, it's mine," he said.

Do Associates Feel Pressure To Give Political Donations To Candidates Supported By Senior Partners?
In today's Daily Journal (subscribers only, unfortunately), I have a story chronicling California-based lawyer contributions to the two Democratic presidential candidates.
There are several key fundraisers for both Obama and Clinton at law firms there, including one of each at Palo Alto-based Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.
John Roos, the firm's chief executive, is Obama's California finance committee co-chairman, while partner Steven M. Schatz is a national co-chair of Lawyers For Hillary.
What I was wondering while I was writing the story is how much pressure associates feel to contribute to campaigns supported by their bosses (not necessarily at Wilson Sonsini, but anywhere).
Obviously, all the firms claim that it's up to individual lawyers to make the decision, but I would imagine that other considerations might play into this.
Feel free to comment below.

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
"The 2006 Saggi is made by Ambrogio and Giovanni Folonari of the well-known Tuscan family whose winemaking history dates back to the late 1700s. The wine is made up of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Sangiovese, and 19% Syrah sourced and blended from several AVAs. It was aged for 19 months in 60% new French oak. This purple-colored wine offers aromas of pain grille, spice box, earth notes, cassis, and cherry. Smooth-textured, layered, and ripe, this well-balanced, elegant effort has ample savory fruit, excellent depth and concentration, and a lengthy finish. It should be in its prime from 2012 to 2021.
For the third straight year, every wine in this portfolio has achieved an outstanding rating. For this, the credit goes to Alan Shoup who put it all together and Gilles Nicault who handles the winemaking on a day-to-day basis. Long Shadows is the brainchild of Alan Shoup, former longtime CEO of Stimson Lane. It is a consortium of seven different labels, each with its own star winemaker who has a 25% share in the brand. The concept is that each "?is dedicated to producing a single Columbia Valley wine representing a 'best of type' that reflects the winemaker's signature style."

I ordered this last year to wear to a costume party. I got lots of compliments and everyone knew exactly what I was without me having to tell them. I ordered a S/M which was a tiny bit snug but other than that I love this costume. It was very easy to put on and comfortable.

Associated Press
Updated: Nov 2, 2012 6:47 PM
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Republican Richard Mourdock is dismissing a poll that shows him falling behind in the race for Indiana's Senate seat.
Mourdock told The Associated Press that Hoosiers are more interested in job numbers released Friday than in new poll numbers showing Democrat Joe Donnelly with a double-digit lead.
The Howey/DePauw University Battleground poll taken Oct. 28-30 showed Mourdock trailing Donnelly by 11 points after the two had run even most of the campaign. The change followed Mourdock's Oct. 23 comment that pregnancy resulting from rape is "something God intended."
A Mourdock loss in Indiana would make it harder for Republicans to win control of the Senate. Mourdock has struggled to regain his footing in the final days of the race, while Democrats have poured more money into replaying his comments on-air.

Read the Book, See the Movie: Part 2
– HAL 9000 in "2001: A Space Odyssey" (Screenplay by Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke)
Photos: "2001: A Space Odyssey"
Often cited as the first film to deal realistically with space travel, "2001: A Space Odyssey" was created under unusual circumstances. Director Stanley Kubrick and science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke used elements from several of Clarke's short stories, most notably "The Sentinel," to write the screenplay together in 1964. The film was shot in 1966 and released in 1968, along with Clarke's novel, which was intended to stand on its own as a separate entity.
– Robert Conway (Ronald Colman) in "Lost Horizon" (Screenplay by Robert Riskin)
Photos: "Lost Horizon"
Authors not known for their work in the genre have been responsible for some fantasy classics, such as English writer James Hilton (author of Goodbye, Mr. Chips and Random Harvest). His 1933 novel Lost Horizon originated the concept of a paradise called Shangri-La and became a Frank Capra film in 1937 and a movie musical in 1973.
– Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) in "Jurassic Park" (Screenplay by Michael Crichton and David Koepp)
Photos: Michael Crichton
One of the most unique careers in science fiction films belongs to the late Michael Crichton, who began as a novelist with The Andromeda Strain, which he adapted as a 1971 film. Crichton went on to write and direct original features, including "Westworld" (1973), and transferred another author's work – Robin Cook's novel Coma – into a 1978 film. Most famously, he adapted his novel Jurassic Park into a screenplay for the 1993 film by Steven Spielberg, and wrote the 1995 novel The Lost World, which became its cinematic sequel.
– Narrator Morgan Freeman in "War of the Worlds" (2005) (Screenplay by Josh Friedman and David Koepp)
Photos: H.G. Wells
Among the science fiction and fantasy writers of the 20th century, one author whose works were frequently chosen for adaptation was English novelist H.G. Wells, author of The Time Machine (1895), The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), The War of the Worlds (1898) and The First Men in the Moon (1901), all of which have been filmed on multiple occasions. He also adapted the screenplay for the 1936 British film "Things to Come" from his novel The Shape of Things to Come.
– Captain Nemo (James Mason) in "20,000 Leagues under the Sea" (Screenplay by Earl Felton)

French author Jules Verne also wrote several pioneering novels that were turned into multiple film versions, most significantly Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), 20,000 Leagues under the Sea (1870), Around the World in Eighty Days (1873) and The Mysterious Island (1874). Verne passed away in 1905 and, unlike Wells, did not live to see any of the feature-length films made from his work.

The Nightcap: Eli's Mile High Club returns to rocking
The Nightcap is a series that features a favorite Oakland drinking establishment every Friday afternoon. Eli's Mile High Club has a colorful history and was once a lively musical venue, but neighbor complaints kept it quiet for years. When new owners tried to revive it, they had to wait three years for a permit to host live shows. The music returned in January, and now there's a tattoo shop above the bar as well. [Read More]

Art Pro VLA II Tube CompressorThe Pro VLA by ART is a tube driven Vactrol-based Compressor/Leveling amplifier designed to excel in any professional audio application, including tracking, mixing, mastering, live sound or broadcast situations. By using an opto-electronic design, (as opposed to a more typical VCA driven level detection circuit) the Pro VLA II allows more compression to be added to an audio source with a more natural, musical sounding output and virtually transparent dynamic leveling. This VCA-less design coupled with a 12AT7 vacuum tube in the gain stage makes the Pro VLA II tube compressor the ideal dynamic control device for critical studio and live sound applications.These are the differences between the Pro VLA and the Pro VLA II:1. Enhanced Link modeIn link mode, CH1 output control acts as a master output level and CH2 becomes a Balance control. This optimizes the Pro VLA II for use as a mastering processor.2. Active balanced outputs. The old VLA has balanced outputs that have 6dB more gain than when using them in the unbalanced mode. This shows up as an error when using the VU meter to compare the input and output level.3. LED output meter. a. Always monitors the output level allowing the user to view Both input and output levels at the same time.b. LED meter indicates both average level plus Peak hold.4. Attack and Release knobs vs. switches. The Old VLA compressor has switches that allow the user to adjust the attack time between "Fast" (~1mSec) and "Normal" (~10mSec).

Fantasy Freestyle
Searching for Strikeouts: Postseason Rookie Starters
There's nothing quite as sexy in fantasy baseball as a young, strikeout-heavy starter. Fortunately for baseball fans everywhere, the 2013 postseason is chock full of them.
From Shelby Miller to Gerrit Cole to Matt Moore and beyond, those in the next wave of stud fantasy strikeout-heavy starters are making their presence felt this October. As we get to watch these young hurlers baffle hitters many years their elder, let's take a look at how three comparatively under-hyped arms stack up heading into 2014.
Chris Archer, SP, Rays
Throughout Archer's career, he's struck out a lot of batters and walked a lot of batters, and this continued in Triple-A in 2013. In 50 innings at Durham, Archer put up a K/9 of 9.36, a BB/9 of 4.14, and a WHIP of 1.46. These numbers are pretty consistent with Archer's MiLB performances, in which he's generally struck out somewhere between 8-9 batters per nine innings while also generally issuing between 4-5 free passes in the same span.
However, in 128 2/3 MLB innings this season, Archer has pitched to a line that doesn't match his scouting report or his minor league track record. The right-hander cut his K/9 to just 7.06—his lowest rate at any level in a meaningful sample—and cut his BB/9 to 2.66, which is the stingiest he's been with free passes at any level ever. Those rates helped Archer put up an ERA of 3.22 in the majors, but with a FIP of 4.09 thanks to a .253 BABIP.
Archer should start next year in Tampa's rotation—he should probably start Game Four of the ALDS (if necessary) instead of Jeremy Hellickson this year—and he'll be worth rostering in many fantasy leagues. That being said, fantasy owners should bank on Archer more closely resembling the pitcher he was coming up through the system rather than the one he showed in 2013. I'd expect Archer to post a K/9 above 8.0 but a BB/9 of above 3.5, and bank on his WHIP posing a slight liability to your fantasy squad.

Ironically, I have all 3 in my AL Only 4x4 (W, K's, saves and ERA) I can keep any of them at a $10 contract. 23 man, 9 pitchers, what do you suggest?

m8tey - on 30 Oct 2012
I have been trying to get in touch with expeditionhardware for a couple of weeks but unfortunately the 10 or so e-mails have been unanswered and the telephone contact is unavailable?
I bought a thermarest x-therm small but they sent me a regular size instead? A bit incompetent I thought especially as the regular costs more.. Unfortunately I wanted the small version so I called them to no avail so sent back the regular size via special delivery asking for a refund meanwhile buying the small version from a company I would normally buy from.
I guess I was a bit naive buying from them in the first place as my prior experience had been buying a stove off them that they did not or could not get in stock but took a few weeks to enlighten me to this situation ..
Unfortunately I have had to waste time getting my credit card company involved now which is a bit tedious ...
Anmyone got anything positive to say about said company?

APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin drove its mobile food pantry into Appleton for an event Tuesday.
Feeding America partnered with the Salvation Army and other charities for the pantry stop. It has enough food to feed approximately 500 people.
Officials say it can help out those neighbors you may not think of that are in need of help.
"Really what we find are that the people in need are our neighbors, you may not think that someone in need lives near you or works with you but the reality is that they probably live down the street," Gina Styer of Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin told FOX 11.
A similar truckload of food will be brought to those in need in Green Bay on May 1st thanks to Feeding America.

Emmy Award-winning creative force Seth MacFarlane began his career studying animation and design at the Rhode Island School of Design. While in school, MacFarlane created an animated short film entitled "The Life of Larry." The film impressed executives at Hanna-Barbera, who then encouraged MacFarlane to move to Los Angeles in 1995 to create and direct a short film for them. After moving to the West Coast, he went on to work on numerous animated series, including "Ace Ventura," "Jungle Cubs" and "Johnny Bravo."
Shortly after, MacFarlane's talent was noted by executives at FOX who made him an offer to create a pilot for the network. Over the next six months, MacFarlane created, animated, wrote, directed and provided all the main male characters' voices for what became FAMILY GUY. The seven-minute short was delivered in May 1998, and was picked up just weeks later. At age 24, MacFarlane was the youngest executive producer in television.
In the years that FAMILY GUY has been on the air, MacFarlane has received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for his role as "Stewie Griffin" (2000) and for Outstanding Music and Lyrics for FAMILY GUY (2002). In 2009, FAMILY GUY became the only animated show to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy in the category of Outstanding Comedy since "The Flintstones" in 1961. Prior to that landmark acknowledgement, FAMILY GUY garnered three nominations for Outstanding Animated Series.
In addition to FAMILY GUY, MacFarlane also serves as co-creator/executive producer/voice actor on AMERICAN DAD and THE CLEVELAND SHOW. This past June, MacFarlane made his directorial debut with his first live-action feature film, "Ted," in which he lent his voice to the title character and was also co-writer.
Recently, MacFarlane teamed up with Carl Sagan's original creative collaborators - writer/producer Ann Druyan and astrophysicist Steven Soter - to conceive a 13-part "docu-series" called COSMOS: A SPACE-TIME ODYSSEY that will serve as a successor to the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning original series. The series is scheduled to air on FOX in 2013.
MacFarlane is also an experienced live performer, having played to sold-out audiences at London's Royal Albert Hall and New York's Carnegie Hall. His debut 2011 album, "Music is Better than Words," released by Universal Republic, debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes Jazz charts. It received two Grammy Award nominations, including Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. Fully orchestrated and featuring MacFarlane singing some of the hidden musical gems of the '40s and '50s, the album includes duets with artists Norah Jones and Sara Bareilles.
MacFarlane lives in Los Angeles.

We don't think he's a .190 hitter. We think he's better than he's showing here.

I am in the midst of switching the world from Movable Type (again) and now to Wordpress. Welcome to the new blog! I started the "American Idol" blog in early 2005 just before the Bo Bice/Carrie Underwood season. Since then, the blog has generated more than 5 million page views. We actually changed to a different blog interface in 2007 but it was a one-year experiment and we reverted back to Movable Type in 2008. Now it's about to be 2009 and welcome to Wordpress. Please be patient with me as I try to figure out the functionality here. I know there's some polling software so that should be fun.
Maybe I should try a link for kicks. Here's a story about Fox resurrecting itself again in time for "Idol" in the New York Times.
I hope that works. I'll try photos soon.

Musuraca graduated from The University of Cincinnati in 2006, where he studied…classics. "So now I have a degree in Latin, and I make furniture," he says. While at UC, Musuraca was so inspired by a student furniture exhibit he saw that he bought himself a table saw and started a crash course in woodworking. His handmade designs—available for purchase through his website—scored a weeklong berth in May on Fab.com, the flash sale design site where members can buy everything from vintage T-shirts and contemporary jewelry to modern furniture, home accessories, and art.Musuraca's designs are undoubtedly Mid-Century Modern–inspired. His materials of choice include cherry, walnut, and maple, from which he builds geometric, minimalist tables, shelves, planters, and bed frames, as well as a series of iPad docks that blend the ubiquitous tech accessory with a 1960s-style clock.Despite his lack of industry experience, Musuraca clearly comes from savvy entrepreneurial stock, both in manufacturing and design. His father, John, has owned Ratech since 1988 and his mother, Connie, is an interior decorator. So far, Musuraca has managed to keep Tronk's overhead low. He's chosen rent-free studio space over a pricey downtown storefront and has kept his day job as Ratech's shop floor manager. Tronk's only other employee is Musuraca's girlfriend, Fernanda Vergara, who handles PR and marketing while working full-time at The Nielsen Company. "We're debt-free," says Musuraca of Tronk, which as any small business owner knows all too well, is a great ingredient for success.

Parent involvement
The ratio of student to teacher is great. A lot on individual attention is given to each student. The school accommodates family who needs to be out of town or when the child is ill. The student is exposed to many cultural activities.
I was terribly nervous to send my child to this school. I am unfamiliar with the Carden method and was afraid that it would be too structured. I am extremely pleased with the school. It's well-rounded and the teachers are innovative and caring. Wow!
My son has only been at Carden for 2 months and I am absolutely thrilled with the teachers, curriculum, activities, parents. They truly provide a well-rounded experience. The teachers and resource staff are caring and fun-loving as well as firm when needed.
My daughter has been at Carden for six years (since Jr. K). Great thought and research went into deciding on a school for her, having myself been an educator for over 10 years. The teachers are not just caring, they are inviting. They challenge the students every day to think for themselves, come up with thoughtful answers and provide a wonderful environment for their pupils. Artwork and student work adorn the walls. The students are proud of the work they are producing. Test scores from this school speak for themselves. They are high achieving students. The 8th grade students attend prestigious local high schools and are sought after because the schools know what kind of learner and well-rounded student Carden Day School produces. Parent participation is exceptional. We love this school, the families and the administration. I could not ask for a better school experience for my daughter!
I highly recommend Carden Day School of San Jose. My child graduated from 8th grade this year. She started with Carden system in Kindergarten and with this school since second grade. She was accepted into honors programs at every private school including Harker and Mitty. She scored well above 90% on her Standford Achievement Tests which ranked her as Post-High School level in everything except one subject, that was ranked at 12th grade level. She tested and scheduled into Honors level classes at the high school of her choice in Science, Math, English, and Modern Language. She has a love of learning. Carden teaches the students HOW to study and HOW to LOVE to LEARN and HOW to THINK. Past graduates that I know (who are going into 10th grade through post-graduate college) tell that they learned how to learn well at Carden and that 9th grade will be easy!
Our son moved to Carden for the 8th grade. The quality of the school is exceptional, from the personal care from the school principal, to the excellent education and attention provided by the teachers. The level of education is equivalent to 10th grade public schools. I highly encourage those who are seeking the best education for their children to consider this school!
Carden Day has proved to be an excellent school emphasizing academic and social development. Their curricula is well rounded, incorporating art appreciation, music, and yoga into their enriching core studies. Carden Day students and parents are supportive of each other and not competitive as experienced in other private schools. The teachers are inspiring - constantly encouraging students to do their best. The leadership at Carden have the children's best interest at heart for developmental and academic success. We are fortunate to be part of a wonderful community.
Excellent school. This is our Third year at the school. It provides a great balance between academia and proper social skills. We like the school, teachers, staff, the parents, and the well rounded kids!
Our children are also finishing a fourth year at Carden Day School, and both love every day there. My two children are very intelligent, articulate, out-going, creative, curious & spontaneous. Every one of their teachers over the past four years has more than satisfied each of my childrens characteristics. My 2nd grader reads well past her level, excels at both math and science, adores composing stories, is reading music as well as French story books. My son in K-1 has learned to write beautifully, can already read simple books, and has worked hard at learning self control. The Teachers and Administration extoll the highest of values and have so successfully helped the children develop a true love of learning. We are really thrilled that we found such a wonderful, loving and richly academic environment in which our children spend these important elementary school years.
Our family is in our fourth year at Carden, and we love the school. It's a terrific community, but we've been especially impressed with how well-rounded the students become. Academically, the curriculum is very advanced, and it's great to watch the kids rise to the challenge. But it's equally impressive to see them learn to love music, art, French, chess, etc. The teachers and the leadership at Carden have far surpassed our expectations!
Our child has been here for three years. Most kids here have grown up in the school, founded just 6 years ago. The families are wonderful, the teachers are warm and involved, and the small class sizes are because it's a startup, not attrition. The principal is straightforward and insightful, and has always been there for us. It is a fantastic, warm school, academically superior, and they grow the whole student and place a priority on good citizenship and character-building. So I am distressed by the first review posted here as it is not at all representative of our experience. Sure, there's a contract; there is at all private schools in the area that I know about. And many unscrupulous schools will routinely tell new parents that their kids are 'behind'-- this helps short-circuit any remorse over a school change and lets them charge more money.
We loved this school the first year (pre-kindergarten). The two teachers are experienced and warm. The following year was not at all the same and looking at the upper grades we saw a trend. Less experienced teachers, lots of turn over with many teachers 'leaving for personal reasons' Very poor communication between teachers admin and parents. In fact, they don't want you to ask any questions. They claim the students are above average academically ( we believed the owner who is friendly and seems passionate.) In the end, we see her as the good salesperson. She provides more hugs than substance. Our kids are behind other schools academically despite being in the top group at this Carden. Very few children in upper grade classes - it seems families don't stick around long. Neither did we. They make you sign a contract so you can't leave if you are unhappy. Beware. Look behind the friendly greeting at the door.

A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
The city of Toledo's website has been down since last week, when the company that serves as its web host experienced a major crash in the system.
Mayor Mike Bell's administration went to City Council Tuesday night, asking for emergency funding to get the site fixed as soon as possible. Council approved up to $30,000 to make the necessary upgrades.
"You can report a street light out. You can find out agendas. You can find out what's going on within the city," explained City Councilman Tom Waniewski. "So it becomes a real good transparency tool, and I think it's important that the public knows we're trying our darndest to get it back up in the proper order."
It could take up to two weeks to get the website back to where it was, along with adding new features. People can still access the site, but access is limited.
In the meantime, the city of Toledo is seeking submissions of digital works of art from local artists, photographers and graphic designers to be used as a digital installation on the new website's homepage. Each piece selected will highlight the artist and be displayed on a separate page of the city's website, in addition to being featured as the homepage background for a designated period of time. They also will be displayed in a gallery showcasing all entries used from now until the end of 2014. Submissions must be entered by Oct. 1.
Learn more about the call for art submissions.

5 Easy Ways to Lose Weight and Improve Your Health
Sure-thing resolutions: Simple changes that can make a big difference.
By Elaine Magee, MPH, RD
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
Almost as soon as the Times Square ball drops and the confetti is thrown, many of us start making resolutions to improve our health and our lives. Then, within a few weeks, our resolve often fades -- and we go back to our old, bad habits. But what if, instead of trying to make sweeping changes, we resolved only to tackle a few easy ways to lose weight and boost health?
The health and weight loss resolutions that stand the best chance of lasting are the ones that call for minor, doable changes, experts say.
"The key is to take small, positive steps and move ahead consistently," says Penny Kris-Etherton, PhD, a nutrition professor at Penn State University. "People need to be realistic about the changes they can achieve."
David Katz, MD, director of the Prevention Research Center for Yale University, says that one key to making resolutions that last is to do more planning and less proclaiming.
"Resolutions tend to be the stuff of inspiration, but lasting behavior change is the stuff of planning, sustainable motivations, and careful consideration of the pros and cons," he says in an email interview.
For example, he says, more important than "willpower" are skills like learning to interpret food labels, and to identify the best choices when eating out.
5 Easy Ways to Lose Weight and Improve Health
Beyond that, experts say, resolutions that offer some sort of noticeable result within a couple of weeks can also help keep you motivated to keep going. That said, here are five easy ways to lose weight and improve your health -- many of which may bring you positive results by mid-January!
Easy Resolution No. 1: Strap on a Pedometer
Let's be honest: Seeing a number at the end of the day can make getting more walking in a lot more fun (talk about instant gratification). Not bad for an investment of around $15.
Striving to reach a goal, such as 10,000 steps at day's end, can be just the motivation you need to keep moving. Researchers affiliated with Stanford University looked at the results of 26 studies involving the use of pedometers in adults. They found that the study results showed that people who used pedometers significantly increased their physical activity -- and took more than 2,000 steps per day more than study participants who didn't use pedometer. Further, the researchers noted two physical benefits as a result of wearing a pedometer -- a decrease in the volunteers' BMIs (body mass index) and their systolic blood pressure.
After just two weeks of walking more, you might see some measurable health benefits, too. Walking even 30 minutes every day for two weeks should be enough for people with hypertension to see better blood pressure, and people with diabetes or elevated blood sugar to see better blood sugar levels, says Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN, nutrition advisor to the American Institute for Cancer Research.
Easy Resolution No. 2: Drink 2 Cups of Tea a Day
With each sip of green or black tea, you get health-promoting substances: two potent flavonoids -- anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin -- and a healthy dose of catechin. Green tea in particular is loaded with the catechin called EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which is suspected of having some anticancer properties.
Try buying some flavored green (and black) tea bags, and keep some at work and at home near your hot water kettle. Figure out when you're most likely to want some tea, be it midmorning, afternoon, or before bed. Then you can get yourself into the habit of making yourself a cup of tea at that particular time of day. If you're sensitive to caffeine, choose decaf teas.
This habit can be particularly healthful if tea takes the place of other beverages that contribute calories without any beneficial nutrients.
Easy Resolution No. 3: Switch to Whole Grains
Switching to 100% whole-wheat or whole-grain bread is easy, especially now that so many 100% whole-wheat products are available in supermarkets -- from hot dog buns to breakfast cereals to pasta.
Whole grains are naturally low-fat and cholesterol free; contain 10% to 15% protein; and offer loads of fiber, minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and more. Whole grains can help to protect you against cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, and some cancers. And you may see a difference quickly, some experts say.
