Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Like countless other parents, Canadian doctors Neufeld and Maté woke up one day to find that their children had become secretive and unreachable. Pining for time with friends, they recoiled or grew hostile around adults. Why? The problem, Neufeld and co-writer Maté suggest, lies in a long-established, though questionable, belief that the earliest possible mastery of the rules of social acceptance leads to success. In a society that values its economy over culture, the book states, the building of strong adult/child attachments gets lost in the shuffle. Multiple play dates, day care, preschool and after school activities groom children to transfer their attachment needs from adults to their peers. They become what the authors call "peer oriented." The result is that they squelch their individuality, curiosity and intelligence to become part of a group whose members attend school less to learn than to socialize. And these same children are bullying, shunning and murdering each other, as well as committing suicide, at increasing rates. The authors' meticulous exploration of the problem can be profoundly troubling. However, their candidness and exposition lead to numerous solutions for reestablishing a caring adult hierarchy. Beautifully written, this terrific, poignant book is already a bestseller in Canada.

"Hold on to Your Kids blows in from Canada like a Blue Northern, bringing us genuinely new ideas and fresh perspectives on parenting. The authors integrate psychology, anthropology, neurology and their own personal and professional experiences as they examine the 'context' of parenting today. This is a worthy book with practical implications for mom and dad."
—Dr. Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia and The Shelter of Each Other
"Hold on to Your Kids is visionary book that goes beyond the usual explanations to illuminate a crisis of unrecognized proportions. The authors show us how we are losing contact with our children and how this loss undermines their development and threatens the very fabric of sociey. Most importantly they offer, through concrete examples and clear suggestions, practical help for parents to fulfill their instinctual roles. A brilliant and well written book, one to be taken seriously, very seriously."
—Peter A. Levine Ph.D., International teacher and author of the best selling books: Waking the Tiger, Healing Trauma and It Won't Hurt Forever, Guiding Your Child through Trauma
"The thoughts and perspectives presented by the authors are informative — even inspirational — for those who choose to dedicate their lives and energy to students."
—Bulletin of the National Association of Secondary School Principals
"With original insights on parent-child attachments and how parents can restore them, this is a book for revitalizing families and rekindling the song in their children's hearts."
—Raffi, children's troubadour, founder of Child Honoring Society Institute
"With simple ideas and steps, this book is directed not only to parents, but to all those — educators, social workers, counselors — whose lives and work bring them into contact with children."
—Quill & Quire
"Though this is Neufeld's personal theory, Maté (Scattered Minds, When the Body Says No) has expressed his colleague's ideas in precise and hard-hitting prose that makes complex ideas accessible without dumbing them down. The result is a book that grabs hard, with the potential to hit many parents where they live."
—The Edmonton Journal
"[M]ay serve as a loud wake-up call for mothers and fathers….this one offers what many of the others do not — that rare commodity known as common sense."
—Winnipeg Free Press
"With the benefit of 30 years of research and experience, Neufeld has crafted a coherent, compelling theory of child development that will cause an immediate frisson of recognition and acceptance in its readers. His approach has the power to change, if not save, the lives of our children."
—National Post
"The authors present doable strategies to help parents help their kids. If their advice is taken to heart, there's hope there will be more warmth and security all round."
—The Georgia Straight
Praise for Scattered Minds by Gabor Maté, M.D.
"Rare and refreshing. . . . Here you will find family stories, an accessible description of brain development and sound information. You will also find hope."
—The Globe and Mail
"An utterly sensible and deeply moving book written for a general audience."
—The Vancouver Sun

The first two-thirds deal with a cultural malaise that the authors claim is sweeping North America, making both parenting and teaching more challenging. With a wealth of both cited research and personal stories, the authors tie together issues such as bullying, early promiscuity, general aimlessness, learning difficulties, and the "flatlining of culture".
Despite the usual association with peer concerns, this is not just a book for parents of teenagers. There is something here for every age group, from preschool through high school. It's also most assuredly not just a catalog of problems, but a well-developed thesis leading to the insight necessary for solutions. Several chapters in the final section would be worth the price alone. "Discipline That Does Not Divide" is an excellent parenting primer, while "Create a Village of Attachment" will help both parents and teachers ensure that their charges profit from their school experience.
We who attended Dr. Neufeld's seminars in Vancouver had been waiting several years to see his ideas in print. The book does not disappoint. I will be rereading mine many times in the coming years. And perhaps more to come from this master of parenting.
Basically, Neufeld & Mate feel we're in a state of crisis concerning our children. Children are bonding with their peers, putting them first. We're letting our children be raised by other children. Children need adults to show them correct morals and values on how to become a good human being. Children do not learn that from their peers. Adults, mainly parents, grandparents, and teachers, provide unconditional love, while peer bonds usually have many conditions.
In his book, Neufeld & Mate give the reader many wonderful tools to use to help create the parent-child attachment (part four). Basically, be attentive, connect, be supportive, offer unconditional love, and guide instead of dictate.
Gordon Neufeld's book is not another prescriptive "how to" manual. He reminds us that our children are more than their behaviour. He turns our gaze to their relationship needs, and shows us clearly what happens for children when those needs are met, and describes the disastrous results for a child's emotional, social, and intellectual development when they aren't. Dr. Neufeld helps us to see what is going wrong with our children, and what needs to be done to make it right. This book touches the heart of parenting in a way no other parenting book I have ever read does. it rings true begininning to end; I can't recommend it strongly enough.

Great River is the Richest town by median house value of the Islips. If you live in Great River chances are that you are extremely rich. People act like it is a park, chances are if you see a person on the streets of Great River and they aren't what appears to be their property they are just sightseeing, Nobody in this community is Black or Hispanic, and seeing a person of that race is considered extremely rare and is the equivalent of seeing a Giraffe in NYC. Theres only 2 companies that reside in Great River, The Great River Deli and Tedesco's Trattoria. The Great River Deli makes the Best Chicken Bacon Bombers in all of the Islips and you will never see anybody at Tedesco's Trattoria. Great River Kids go to the East Islip School Districts Schools and have a tendency to dress prepie and have huge parties in their backyards. They are known to drive expensive cars around such as Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Audi, Mercedes, and Bmw.

One of my very first projects at Muslimah Media Watch was to review dating sites. The experience of discussing how we use technology to find a mate (here, here, here and here) baffled me a little because of the gendered and racialized aspects that I found while doing research. Later on, I also discovered that the bulk of people profiting from these sites are men, which added to my discomfort. A few years later, I had the opportunity to review Hipster Shaadi, which later evolved into Ishqr. This … [Read more...]

Bernanke and the Fed wants to test the yields on the 10 year and US Treasury markets. I do not think he will like what the market decides to do with the yields. Could cause a 10%+ correction in stocks too in less than a week. I thought the Fed likes to leak this kind of stuff to the WSJ first?

I can hear the likes of Bob Doll, Rich Peterson, Tom Lee and the rest of the charlatans saying this is nothing to fear, just a blip, a correction!
There is no economy as we all once knew it. Our free market system has been destroyed by the hubris of Bernanke and all the central bankers and their illegitimate offspring at the I.M.F.and the World Bank!

TransDigm Group (TDG +2.6%) moves up despite posting a mixed FQ1 that missed on its bottom-line but beat on revenue. Net earnings rose 14% Y/Y as the aviation-parts supplier's acquisitions drove a 22% jump in sales. The company warns that defense revenue should decline modestly, but its commercial original-equipment market and commercial aftermarkets are expected to improve. To that end, it raises the low end of its FY13 EPS guidance by $0.20, now expecting $6.74 to $6.98 a share on sales between $1.82B and $1.88B.

Helmut Kloos (unregistered)
I am a semi-retired researcher in public health, working mostly in developing countries, where I see a need for more physical exercise among colleagues (especially in Africa). In addition to push-ups, I power walk 2 miles on most days of the week, swim in Millerton Lake near Fresno and ski at China Peak in the Sierra Nevada. Outside the USA I swam in rivers and lakes in Ethiopia, Egypt, and Brazil. Swimming in the Amazonas River, at the confluence of the Rio Negro (warm water) and the Solimoes (the main western branch of the Amazon River) with its cooler water, was my most exiting swimming experience.

Put Together a Family Health Care Team
On the other end of the age spectrum is the geriatrician. This doctor treats people ages 65 and older.
A geriatrician has studied internal or family medicine. He or she has done extra training in the medical issues that affect seniors. These issues can include:
A dentist cares for your teeth and mouth. Dentists use X-rays and other techniques to check the teeth for cavities and disease.
Dentists perform procedures, such as fillings and root canals, to treat damaged teeth. Dentists also can straighten teeth that are out of alignment.
Dentists who specialize in children's teeth are called pediatric dentists.
Eye Care
There are two types of health professionals you and our family will likely visit to care for your eyes:
- Optometrist
- Ophthalmologist
Optometrist. Most people see an optometrist when they need their vision checked. Optometrists are not medical doctors. They are doctors of optometry. They have a degree from a college of optometry.
Most optometrists concentrate on regular vision care. You can see them for services such as:
- Eye exams and vision tests

I use Windows 7, have a great graphic card and lots of memory and RAM, but it still does not work.
Do any of you guys have an idea of what to do?
Do I need to install something like a patch or a driver?
EDIT: I can't work on the program, because it keeps "reloading" everything and things are black, as if there's something wrong with the graphic settings

I would like to offer my readers the option of displaying all the comments of a post instead of just the pages.
Most posts have less then 50 comments, and that's fine but I have some other posts with a lot more.
Is there a way to add a "Show all" link next to the comment pagination?
Here is a good example of a page with lots of comments:

Alberta's Catholic bishops listened June 6 as a group of students representing five urban and rural high schools across Alberta told them how they are going to apply Pope Francis' Laudato Si' teachings into daily life. In the prologue to their document, they wrote "Taking up the Holy Father's call 'to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor' (#49), this document is a call to action and education reform for the Church and Alberta schools." The program was initiated when Development and Peace regional animator Sara Farid and religious education consultant Edward Jean were talking about another matter a year ago.

As Dominque Trinh Do watched the priest serve Mass during his childhood in Vietnam, he realized he wanted to serve the Lord in that way too. "It's been a long time coming," said the 43-year-old deacon. Trinh's ordination to the priesthood at St. Pius X Church in Kelowna, B.C., takes place June 29. His father, brother and two nephews are coming from Vietnam to attend the momentous event.
Swiss Catholic Church officials deplored the approval by voters of a modification to the country's in vitro fertilization law that would permit genetic testing of embryos, allowing imperfect human embryos to be discarded. The president of the Swiss bishops' conference said the revision "jeopardizes the full protection of human life."
Fifty-four years after being named a bishop, Bishop Remi De Roo is still selling the merits of the Second Vatican Council. At age 92, his travel schedule is slowing down, but is far from drawing to a halt. "I speak on the council wherever I'm invited to go," De Roo said in an interview during a recent trip to Edmonton to visit his long-time friend and co-author of several books, Douglas Roche. At the end of the hour and a half interview, the bishop is still going strong, showing no signs of fatigue or any desire to draw the conversation to a close.
VANCOUVER - Pope Francis has named Father Joseph Phuong Nguyen, vicar general of the Vancouver Archdiocese, as the new bishop of Kamloops, B.C. Nguyen will take over from Bishop David Monroe, who retires having reached the mandatory retirement age of 75. Monroe has served Kamloops since 2002 and, like his successor, was vicar general in Vancouver. Prior to Nguyen's appointment as vicar general in 2013, he served at five parishes in the Vancouver area.
VATICAN CITY - The Beatitudes are a navigational tool that lead people to happiness and holiness, while love of money, vanity and pride are the "three steps leading to perdition," Pope Francis said. Celebrating an early morning Mass June 6, the pope focused on the day's Gospel reading, which was St. Matthew's account of the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes, which begin, "Blessed are the poor in spirit."
Spirits are high among youth at Holy Trinity Parish in Spruce Grove as World Youth Day draws near. A dozen people from the parish, including Father Jan Sobkowicz, the pastor, are preparing to attend the event in Kraków, Poland this year. Through fundraisers big and small, they have raised more than $10,000, which will pay for a portion of the ticket and stay. Whatever they raised through their well-attended June 5 barbecue and silent auction will be added to the total.
LACOMBE - Fifteen children and students were welcomed as new members of the Catholic community after a special baptismal Mass at Father Lacombe Catholic School in Lacombe . The St. Thomas Aquinas Roman (STAR) Catholic Schools' kindergarten to Grade 9 school, in its close partnership with the local parish, saw students from preschool to Grade 5 seek the journey to Baptism through the archdiocesan Sacramental Education Initiative. It culminated in 15 students gathering for a baptismal Mass, May 11 at the school, with family, classmates, teachers, staff and the parish community.
VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis will set up a panel of legal experts to help him decide whether to remove a religious superior or bishop from office for failing to protect minors and vulnerable adults from sex abuse. Vatican offices will continue to investigate claims of negligence on the part of bishops, ordinaries or religious superiors under their jurisdiction. But the pope - who makes the final decision about a bishop's removal from office - will now be assisted by a papally appointed "college of jurists," according to procedures that take effect Sept. 5.
Four teachers in Alberta Catholic schools have won this year's Prime Minister's Awards for Teaching Excellence. The Catholic winners are Nicole Blais, a Grade 6 teacher at St. Mary's Elementary School in Lloydminster, Carla Cuglietta, a Grade 11 teacher at St. Joseph's High School in Edmonton, Abbi Easton, a Grade 9 teacher at Holy Trinity High School in Fort McMurray and Mandy Reed, who teaches Grades 10 to 12 at Notre Dame High School in Red Deer.

|"Terror Titans" #1 on sale in October
Readers following Sean McKeeverâs bestselling run on âTeen Titansâ love what the writer is doing with the re-imagined Clock King and his team of Terror Titans. So does DC Comics Executive Editor Dan Didio -- who also just so happens to edit the title himself -- as the legion of doom will debut in their own six-issue miniseries beginning in October.
McKeever, who is penning the Joe Bennett (â52â and âCheckmateâ) illustrated miniseries, told CBR News âTerror Titansâ is the next step in Clock Kingâs âbig, crazyâ plans. âIn âTeen Titans,â Clock King pushed his Terror Titans, trying to get them to capture the entire Teen Titans team so that he could sell the heroes to the Dark Side Club, a sort of underground fight club run by people who believe theyâre the avatars of the New Gods,â the writer explained. âIn âTerror Titans,â Clock King has taken up a more active role in the Dark Side Club and has brought his team of teen legacy villains along for the ride.
âHe plans to further push and test his team, and he also has plans for Ravager, who left the Teen Titans at the end of #60.â
McKeever said essentially, itâs about creating chaos by way of control and order. âItâs about destruction, both for destructionâs sake as well as for the purpose of rebuilding. And itâs also about a whole lot of young metahumans beating the crap out of each other,â he offered. âJoe Bennett said heâd only draw the title if there was âlots of blood,â and I think Iâve accommodated him pretty well, so far.â
|On sale in December, "Teen Titans: On The Clock" introduces the Terror Titans
The 36-year-old Appleton, Wisconsin native said itâs actually a bit easier writing a villain-centric series as opposed to one chalk full of superhero goodness. âThereâs far more moral ambiguity to deal with. And I also just really enjoy writing people who are capable of terrible things,â he said. âItâs kind of like playing âGrand Theft Auto.ââ
McKeever revealed that the series wonât overly tie-in to the âTeen Titansâ ongoing or Grant Morrison and JG Jonesâ âFinal Crisis.â âWe wonât be tying-in directly, but the aftereffects of this story will immediately be felt in âTeen Titans.â We will also bring the Dark Side Club concept from âSeven Soldiersâ and âFinal Crisisâ into its next evolutionary step, and thatâs the central locale for the story, but no one needs to have read any of that, nor even the Terror Titans arc in âTeen Titans,â to get whatâs going on here.â
A technological genius, the Clock King possesses the ability to see what is about to happen approximately 4.6692 seconds into the future, allowing him to anticipate an opponentâs every move. And while he can predict what will happen, McKeever said itâs his unpredictability that makes him a great supervillain. âHeâs unpredictable, heâs manipulative, and he clearly has a lot of secrets. He lives in a state of perpetual precognition, making him damn near impossible to surprise,â explained McKeever. âHe lives in a dimension where time intersects but doesnât age anything, so he could be very, very old, for all we know. All this adds together to make a highly intelligent, immensely powerful and thoroughly insane character.â
|On sale August 27, "Teen Titans" #62
Ravager is the newest member of the Terror Titans, but McKeever isnât ready to label her a villain. âI wouldnât call Rose a villain. She marches to the beat of her own drum. Sometimes that beat puts her on the side of the angels, and other times it turns her into a hardened killer,â he said.
So there is still good inside her? âSure. As readers will learn from the outset, Rose is pretty clear about why sheâs come to the Dark Side Club. Itâs to do with her own precognition, and how it seems to resonate with Clock Kingâs,â revealed McKeever. âDonât expect her to play nice with the Terror Titans, nor anyone else, for that matter.â
McKeever said heâd be hard pressed to pick a favorite Terror Titan -- with candidates including Copperhead, Dreadbolt and Persuader -- because they are all his âbeautiful, twisted children,â and so he loves them equally. He added, âAt the start of #2-5, the readers will get to see the âorigin storyâ of each character, and give you more of a sense of who they are and why theyâre part of this band of sociopathic killers.â
Fuelling the writerâs love of the characters is how theyâre being drawn by Joe Bennett. âJoe brings energy, amazing emotion and wonderful clarity in his layouts,â said McKeever. âHeâs also breaking down a lot of the fight scenes himself, per his request. So weâre doing certain pages plot style, where Iâll describe the action and heâll decide how he wants to display it. It makes a lot of sense since Iâd probably only hamper him, visually.â
|On sale in September, "Teen Titans" #63
With news out of Comic-Con International that Dwayne McDuffieâs Milestone character Static would be joining Teen Titans, CBR News asked McKeever if he would be active in âTerror Titans.â âThe Teen Titans will be gaining a few new members in the months to come, but that will happen in âTeen Titansâ itself,â teased McKeever. âOf course, it wouldnât be a shock to anyone if at least one character in this miniseries winds up signing up at Titans Tower.â
As for what else is coming up in âTeen Titansâ in the months ahead, McKeever revealed, âWeâre roughed out through June 2009 right now, so letâs see theyâre will be new and old and downright ancient. Theyâre will be red and blue and green. Theyâre will be changes and upgrades. And enemies and teammates where theyâre least expected.
âAnd Wonderdog will be the New Character of the Year.â
âTerror Titansâ #1 is scheduled for October 1.

Citadel Requests Meeting, Says E*Trade 'Failed' in Response
Citadel LLC, the biggest shareholder of E*Trade Financial Corp., said the online brokerage's decision to hire Morgan Stanley isn't sufficient in addressing plans for a strategic review and called again for a special meeting.
E*Trade's plan to have Morgan Stanley report to the board's Finance and Risk Oversight Committee is "manifestly inappropriate" because most members are part of the company management or legacy directors, who "have failed" shareholders in the past, according to a July 22 regulatory filing received today. Ken Griffin's Chicago-based hedge fund is also calling for two directors, Michael Parks and Donna Weaver, to be removed.
"Once again, E*Trade's board has failed to act in shareholders' best interests," Citadel wrote in a letter to the brokerage today. "Your response to our July 20 letter further demonstrates the board's entrenchment and the lengths to which members of the board will go to maintain the status quo to the detriment of shareholders."
In a letter last week, Citadel called on the company to perform a review of strategic alternatives, including a sale of the company. The online brokerage, whose shares have fallen 94 percent in four years, responded to its request to address those "catastrophic losses" by deciding to retain Morgan Stanley, after saying that JPMorgan Chase & Co. completed a strategic review in 2010. The company, which has counted Griffin as a board member since June 2009, said it wouldn't call a meeting.
Second Review
"Requests from Citadel come from one who is likely knowledgeable of these issues," Richard Repetto, a New York-based analyst with Sandler O'Neill & Partners LP, wrote in a note today, referring to Griffin. "Clearly we can deduce he was dissatisfied with JPMorgan's work in asking for a second investment banking review as well as with Michael Parks, who chairs the FROC and who Citadel has asked to be removed from the board."
E*Trade shares climbed 5.6 percent to $16.52 at 4 p.m. in New York today. Last week, they surged 21 percent, the biggest weekly gain since June 2009, after Citadel's first letter.
Citadel asked today for a special meeting to be held no sooner than 10 days and no later than 60 days after E*Trade receives notice from holders of 10 percent of the company. At the meeting, shareholders would vote on removing some board members and hiring an investment bank to help arrange a sale. E*Trade would be required to call a meeting once investors owning 10 percent of the company request one. Citadel owns about 9.8 percent of the New York-based company.
Special Meeting
"Given Citadel's 9.8 percent ownership stake and the likely participation of other owners, it will be possible for them to call a special meeting of shareholders," Chris Allen, a New York-based analyst with Evercore Partners Inc., wrote in a note today.
Charles Schwab Corp., the biggest independent U.S. brokerage by assets, and TD Ameritrade Holding Corp., the third largest, are the most likely buyers, according to Sandler O'Neill's Repetto and Patrick O'Shaughnessy, an analyst for Raymond James in Chicago. Directors of TD Ameritrade plan to hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss the possibility of buying E*Trade, the Wall Street Journal said, citing people familiar with the matter.
"It has long been our practice to not comment on any rumor or speculation in the marketplace," said Kim Hillyer, a spokeswoman for TD Ameritrade. "Our board of directors is meeting this week for their regularly scheduled quarterly meeting. Strategic matters are discussed by the board on a regular basis, but it would be inappropriate for me to comment further on specific topics -- hypothetical or otherwise."
Greg Gable, a spokesman for San Francisco-based Charles Schwab, declined to comment Friday on deal speculation regarding E*Trade.

As of 31 December 1978, 558 patients with end-stage renal disease had been treated with transplantation (150), home dialysis (109), and center dialysis (299). Three hundred twenty-eight patients survived—194 (59%) in center, 51 (15%) at home, and 83 (25%) with functioning grafts. The number and age of new patients continue to increase. Significantly more deaths occur among center dialysis patients than among transplant recipients or home patients. Cadaveric donors provide 71% of transplanted kidneys. The increase in new and older patients without a commensurate increase in cadaver organs results in a declining transplantation rate. Home dialysis training has not decreased. Home dialysis and transplantation can treat about 50% of all new patients. Equilibrium in the end-stage renal disease population will occur when 632 patients per million are receiving treatment. Of these, about 500 will be on center dialysis and will need about 100 stations per million population.

This is a great light gun shooter. I ordered the perfect shot with this game. I bought mine from ToysRus though. It is a short game and its not like call of duty like the other post said, but its not supposed to be. It is a arcade hit from the past. No swearing, no blood. Lines are goofy and weird things happen like: you rescue the president who is hand cuffed. Shows a cut screen giving the Ghost Squadron a high five, then return to game mode and shows the president cuffed again. Graphics are not that bad. Overall it is a fun game to play. Especially with more people.
Only 3 levels though??? well, it's like having an unlimited ammount of quarters for this game by paying a one-time fee. the Game is really fun, and I bought this in Wal-mart with the Perfect Shot, I own another Shooter: The Conduit, and this game is about equal to that one. The game is more fun than the Conduit, but Ghost Squad only has 3 levels. I finished the campaign in 45 minutes. However, there is so much customizing and weapons that to get the game's full experience, you'll spend 50 hours playing. great shooter with or without friends.
I liked this game because it was easy enough for my 4 and 6 year old to learn and not so hard like so many of these other games that have all of the shooting stuff.
What a great action game. Your in the fight of your life,from the first moment. looking forward to many hours of play.
Awsome game especially since its like those acade games at acades where you press petdel down to move but it moves for you. and for this you dont have to pay a dollar each time you die.
This game is the best! You have to have to have it exspecially peole who love to shoot.This action packed game has three exciting levels that let you chse what time of day it is!!
Too young for COD, too old for other games. This one is perfect. Just enough battle without the blood and gore -- no nightmares!
Lots of fun, but wish there were more than 3 missions.
As mentioned on the other reviews, there are only 3 combat paths and you play them over and over - unlocking a new challenge each time you successfully get through the round. However, you continue to play the same challenges to get to the new one. It becomes quite boring, and if you fail during a level, you have to play it over AGAIN. Quite frustrating and a bit boring after a while. It is kind of fun the first time through...but avoid this one and find another first person shooter game!
Title says it all. i would definitely not recommend this game to any one. The graphics are old style and not worth the time and effort usually associated with game play.
i love this game as an adult and so does my 3 year old he is really awesome at this game for his age there is no swearing or anything to worry about like that. highly recommend this for all ages.
It only has three levels of play and become real repetative right away. Not at all what was expected. Not comparable to any other war game such as call of duty.
There are only three missions to complete, the game is over in less than an hour!

Register for the Junior Futsal Program
For players U6-U9—Training with Optional Games
Program runs on Thursdays, 5:00 - 6:00 pm, from November 12 to February 18
Program Overview
Our Junior Futsal Program emphasizes developmental skills and tactical training in an environment that promotes learning and fun. Children are placed in groups with similarly skilled players in order to maximize their development.
Players in these years are in the "golden age" of development. The appropriate training program can have a tremendous impact on the future success of a player and his or her passion for the game. Players at these ages begin to mature and take on a personality and style of play of their own.
The Junior Futsal Program will provide challenging technical drills, games, and exercises in order to increase confidence and enhance foot skills of advanced junior players. Drills will build upon the fundamentals of dribbling, shooting, and passing in a fast-paced format. The program will build the foundation for teaching tactical components that will improve player understanding of the game.
Principles of Age-Appropriate Development
Our Junior Futsal Program implements basic principles of human development. Children at these ages love to "play." Therefore, most training sessions will incorporate fun and creative games into the training plan. Other principles that will be followed include:
Program Benefits and Cost
Training Package (U6-U9): $300
Location: All trainings will occur at the Sportszone, 7 A St., Derry NH.
Evaluations: On the first night of training (Thursday, Nov. 12 at 5:00 P.M.), coaches will evaluate players and place them in their training groups.
Registration: Click here to register for the Junior Futsal Program.
Before your register! Please read these important instructions.
Note that there are two steps to the online registration process. You will be asked to fill out the same form twice: the first form is for FutsalNH to secure your child's spot in the program; the second form is for the U.S. Youth Futsal waiver, which must be completed before your child can participate in the program.
Step 1: This two-page form is the online registration form for FutsalNH's program. At the end of the form, you will be asked to make a payment for the program. You have the option to make either a half payment or a full payment. If you choose to make a half payment, you will be required to pay the other half of the registration fee by January 1, 2016. Whether you make a half payment or a full payment, you are required to pay online with a credit card unless you have made prior arrangements with our administrator, Elizabeth Dubrulle. Please contact Elizabeth if you need to make such an arrangement.
Step 2: Once you complete the form and submit your payment, you will need to follow the link on the confirmation page, which will take you to a nearly identical online form. You must fill out this form again to complete the mandatory USYF waiver, including payment of an online fee of $10.50 by credit card, which goes to USYF. All players must complete the online waiver and pay the $10.50 fee to U.S. Youth Futsal. Once paid, this USYF fee will provide the player with USYF coverage until July 31, 2016, which is applicable for any and all USYF affliated events, including league play, tournaments, training, clinics, camps, and I.D. events.
Please be very careful that your child's first name, last name, and birthdate are identical on both forms. In other words, Benjamin Smith cannot register as "Ben Smith" on one form and "Benjamin Smith" on the other. The registration system will not match up the two registrations, and we will not have any record of your having completed the waiver. FutsalNH staff is unable to change or correct any information on the USYF waiver, so if you fill the form out incorrectly and the registration system does not recognize your waiver, you will need to complete the form again and pay the fee a second time. USYF does not provide refunds!

Web-Based Training Center for Foster & Adoptive Parents
Award Information
Small Business Information
Principal Investigator:

Business Contact:
(541) 343-6636
Research Institution:
AbstractWe propose to develop and evaluate a Web-based training center for foster and adoptive parents. The site will provide high quality and comprehensive continuing education for parents in the child care system. Suitable materials are limited in selection, difficult to access, uneven in quality, didactic, and not specifically designed for the problems and issues these parents face. Content for the proposed site will be organized into six major areas of instruction, each with an array of courses for credit arranged by topic. In Phase I, we will develop and test a prototype site that will include four topics from one instructional area: Dealing with Children's Serious Emotional Problems. The format will allow parents to search for expert clinical information delivered in simple and practical terms. This will be accomplished through an interactive multimedia process that includes a focused introduction to the problem, story narratives from parents about the problem, a question-and-answer session with a clinical expert; a synthesis of information, and suggested steps for parent follow-up. An evaluation study will assess parent gains in knowledge as well as changes in parent confidence and perspective. We will promote the site throughout an established national network of state and county agencies. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: Nationally, state and county agencies in the foster and adoptive care system urgently need continuing education training materials for their parent-clients. Parents not only need to meet yearly accreditation requirements but are genuinely seeking answers to critical problems they face as paraprofessionals caring for problem children. The site will offer parents a much needed resource at reasonable costs to agencies.

text: I really enjoyed reading this book and finally convinced the wife to give it a go. She thought it was pretty good up until the end. While she liked the story she found it frustrating that Scott Lynch did not explain exactly how the bondsmagi found out about Locke and his crew. I remember wondering the same thing. I re-reads parts of the book the other day and still can't find the answer I was looking for. Am I missing something here or do they really not explain it? I'm trying to convince her to read Red Seas under Red Skies but she wants nothing to do with Scott Lynch anymore as she feels that he didn't explain a very important aspect of his story. While i still think the book is great I am inclined to agree that not knowing took away from the book as a whole. Jay

Help and Advice with UTI and Credit Scoring?
Hi everyone I have a quick question here. A while back I posted that I am planning on refi-ing my Mortgage because I can drop it by about 2 whole points. So what I did was put about 40k in add ons, improvements to drastically increase the value of the home, as I will take all of the equity money and pay off the credit cards I used to do all the home improvements.
Within the past 6 months, I had 786 equifax Scores and applied , received 4 new credit cards (2 with very high limits based off advice from this board), then used them to remodel, new addition add on's to my home.
Of course my UTI was about 1% before doing this, now its 80-90%. Of course by the calcualtors with my income I am about 10-15% of Debt to Income ratio( but I dont think the FICO scoring takes that into account)
So I now have 6 credit card totals, (4 within the past 6 months open). All of them I have transfered and paid down to have Zero Balances on all but 2 cards. Those cards I transfered most all the Balances to so I would get a score jump for showing usage, with Zero balances. The other 2 cards are 85-90% maxed out. I was hoping to stay below 80% so I would not get hit with a high UTI on those 2 cards. Unfortuantely, home improvements always twice much more than expected so I just could not do it.
My question is this.... Whats the best way to look "good" to my Morgage company and improve my FICO score before applying for the Refi which I plan on doing in December?
Do I need to carry Zero balances on the 4 cards or should I put like 3-5 dollars on each to show very low usage? How with Fico score that?
Also I thought of purchasing an AU tradeline to improve my UTI and jump the score a little bit, but I have heard Mortgages do not look nor care about that?
What should I do? I have 52,700 in Available credit and usuage at 41,250 all on credit cards. No other loans or debt at all. Autos paid for! No bad marks on my credit at all either other than inquires from applying a few months ago. What type of score should I expect or need?
I hope this is enough info for anyone to help. Thanks for everyones help on this board.
Re: Help and Advice with UTI and Credit Scoring?
From what I can tell you have a pretty good understanding of what you need to do to get your score to the best place possible. Yes, having the lowest possible utilization on your cards will help your score. The popular theory says have 5 of your 6 cards report $0, and have the sixth card report 1-9% utilization. But it's hard to tell if that will actually get you your best score.
Here's what I think: Given your positive history (no baddies, great job), the lower you can get your utilization, the better. However, there will likely be a point where it won't matter. For example, could you get your score up by 10 points by reporting a lower utilization, perhaps. But does 10 points REALLY matter when you have such great scores already? Do what is best for your finances, pay down your balances if you can, and find the lender with the best interest rates possible. Your scores should get you a perfectly respectable mortgage rate. Good luck!

Re: Help and Advice with UTI and Credit Scoring?
I'm not a mortgage expert but don't most people traditionally refi via FHA assuming you meet their loan limit criteria? Your score will likely be irrelevant as long as it's above the minimum threshold and I would be absolutely stunned if you were below that.
Current Score: EQ 04 693, EQ 8 714, TU 8 710, EX 8 724 (05/27/16)
Goal Score: 700 on EQ 04 (01/01/17)
Take the myFICO Fitness Challenge
Re: Help and Advice with UTI and Credit Scoring?
Make sure that none of your cards are reporting more than 89% usage. 90%+ of CL usage seems to get lenders very nervous and FICO may give you a pretty good ding for that.
Starting Score: EQ 653 6/21/12
Current Score: EQ 707 10/11/15 - EX 813 9/26/15 - TU 711 10/11/15
Re: Help and Advice with UTI and Credit Scoring?
For max utility boost, have all cards report for $0, then have one report for 9% or less. Good Luck!

Re: Help and Advice with UTI and Credit Scoring?
Thank you to everyone offering advice. Before using the cards to improve my home, my UTI was about 1-2% total. So as soon as I get the refi done with the Mortgage company my UTI will go back to 1% or less instead of 80-90%.
So with no baddies at all, and just a high UTI is all that I was worried about as far as getting a strong Mortgage rate because of how it dropped my score over the past few months as I have borrowed for my home.
Hopefully then the mortgage company looks and see's that I have invested money on my home, and sees the equity I am using to pay off the cards.

There is probably a little more advocacy going on here than there should be, and more technical content would be appreciated by many I'm sure. I'm going to treat this as constructive input.

Cyber criminals see charities as easy targets
Cyber criminals aren't going to show any compassion when on the hunt to make money on the internet.
Non-profit organisations such as charities are an easier target for cyber criminals than commercial businesses, due to their lack of resources.
So claims Imperva's chief technology officer Amichai Shulman, who discussed the threat in an interview with IT PRO.
He said that non-profits often held sensitive information on donors such as credit card transactions, yet much of the time didn't have the IT resources of commercial organisations, as they have less budget.
In addition, work done on non-profit applications was often done voluntarily, which meant that they were potentially not as robust.
"There is an assumption that it will be easier to penetrate their applications and networks," Shulman said.
TechSoup Global, a San Francisco non-profit looking to help other charities with technology, found out a year ago that it was suffering application-level attacks on its website, which was connected to back office systems used for receiving donations.
"We had a little bit of a breach from a SQL injection attack, and it brought our systems down," said TechSoup senior director Richard Collins. "It took about three days to get our systems back up and running."
Collins said there was no question that criminals would see charities as "soft targets", agreeing with Shulman that they traditionally had less money to spend on infrastructure and IT operations.
"The big banks and those companies have money to put into security, and over the last few years they have put in a lot of money and effort in protecting themselves," Collins said.
"[Non-profits] haven't been able to do that. It's a resource issue. I don't have anybody specific working on security," he added.
He said non-profit organisations like TechSoup needed to take on board industry best practice, such as knowing what to do with data and how to handle it, and making sure everybody in its IT department was operating with security in mind.
