While some teens are easily able to apply the skills you've taught them at home and the skills they've learned in school to the job market, other teens struggle. A teen's first job may also require new skills that he's never really needed before.

The main goal of parenting a teen should be to get your teen ready to become a responsible adult. A part-time or summer job is an excellent way for a teen to gain responsibility. But, before you send your teen out looking for work, make sure he has the skills that are necessary to become successful in the working world.

1. Social Skills

Interaction with managers, other employees and customers can be a large part of any job. Social interactions at a professional level are much different that social interactions with friends at school. Help your teen gain the skills necessary to carry on a conversation in-person and how to answer a phone in a professional manner, etc.

How to Teach Your Teen Assertiveness Skills

2. Oral Communication Skills

Employers need their workers to be able to communicate effectively with managers as well as customers. Help teens understand communication isn't just about casual conversation. Communication involves accurately conveying directions or problems. Non-verbal communication is also important so make sure your teen understands the importance of making eye contact and using body language to show that he's listening to others.

3. Written Communication Skills

A job application requires written communication skills. It's important for your teen to be able to use the application or a resume to convey his skills and past job experiences. An application is the first time a potential employer is able to gain insight into their potential employee. Teens need to understand the importance of writing legibly and spelling words correctly. Most jobs also tend to require some level of written communication so it's important for teens to be able to get their point across either on a computer or through their written words.

4. Interviewing Skills

Practice interviewing skills with your teen. Ask questions that a potential employer may ask. Teach your teen how to enter a room, shake hands, introduce themselves, smile and maintain eye contact. Show your teen how to discuss strengths without sounding arrogant and how to convey an appropriate amount of confidence.

How to Prepare Your Teen for a Job Interview

5. Problem-Solving Skills

Employers want an employee who can solve problems as they arise. It's important for your teen to be able to creatively and effectively solve various problems with customers, co-workers, or various other duties. Devote time to teaching your teen problem-solving skills that can be helpful not just in a work environment, but in all areas of his life.

6. Time Management

Clearly an employer will want a teen who is responsible enough to arrive at work on time. Knowing how to prioritize tasks is necessary in most work environments. A busy work environment often means that a teen will need to understand which tasks need to be addressed first and which things can wait until later.

7. Leadership Skills

Even entry-level positions often require some level of leadership skills. If a fellow employee becomes injured or there is a crisis with a customer, your teen will likely need to know how to handle a situation where he may need to take charge.

8. Critical Thinking Skills

There aren't a lot of jobs these days that don't require some level of critical thinking. That may mean analyzing how to address an issue in a more effective manner or figuring out the best way to apply the company policies to a specific situation. Most employers look for employees who can handle some level of independence and won't be constantly asking for help.

9. Organizational Skills

Employers value productivity. They look for employees who can be organized. They won't appreciate a teen who is constantly losing things or has to ask for the same paperwork over and over again. It's important for a teen to understand which tasks need to be done first and how to keep things in appropriate order.

 10. Professional Skills

Teens need to understand how to comply with a company's rules and regulations. Part of behaving in a professional manner means adhering to the company's dress code, interacting with co-workers and supervisors in a professional manner, and behaving in a respectful manner. For example, a teen needs to know that he can't text his friends and surf the internet instead of performing his job duties.

This review is from: Polk Audio PSW Series PSW111 Black Compact powered subwoofer Single
Pros: Compact size, Very good performance for its size, Powerful 150W amplifier, and connections to support all configurations.
Cons: Speaker level terminals could have used binding posts.
Other Thoughts: This subwoofer served well for the last 10 months in the living room corner when matched with a pair of Polk RM30 as mains in a stereo setup. Since my amplifier had no bass management, I used the crossover setting on the sub, which worked really well. Its performance for both movies and music is excellent. Its compact size allowed me to place it in many locations and it actually looks nice. Currently, its matched to Def. Tech Mythos Four as mains, and is doing a wonderful job. It provides connections for all types subwoofer configurations. Due to its size, it doesn't go extremely low, and hence may not be the best solution in a dedicated home theater setting. But in a living room, where I listen to both movies and music, and want a decent looking unit, this is the best product I have come across in this price range.READ FULL REVIEW

Think You're Allergic to Penicillin? Maybe Not
Posted 7 Nov 2014 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, Nov. 7, 2014 – Many Americans may check the box "allergic to penicillin" on medical forms, but new research suggests that most of them are mistaken. Follow-up testing revealed that most people who believed they were allergic to penicillin were actually not allergic to the antibiotic, according to two new studies. In one study, 94 percent of 384 people who believed they were allergic to penicillin tested negative for penicillin allergy. And in the second study, penicillin skin testing was performed on 38 people who believed they were allergic to the antibiotic, and all of them tested negative for such an allergy. The studies were to be presented Friday at the annual meeting of American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI), in Atlanta. "A large number of people in our study who had a history of penicillin allergy were actually not allergic," Dr. Thanai Pongdee, lead ... Read more

Medicines Are Biggest Culprit in Fatal Allergic Reactions: Study
Posted 10 Oct 2014 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Oct. 9, 2014 – Although food allergies have garnered a lot of attention lately, a new study reports that medications are actually the biggest cause of sudden deaths related to allergy. Over a little more than a decade, nearly 60 percent of the allergy-related deaths were caused by medications, while less than 7 percent were caused by food allergies, the study found. "Medications can be dangerous," said study researcher Dr. Elina Jerschow, director of the Drug Allergy Center at Montefiore Medical Center and assistant professor of medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, in New York City. While research from other countries has reported medications as a major culprit in anaphylaxis-related deaths, Jerschow said, the problem has been less defined in the United States. One reason is that there is no national registry for anaphylaxis deaths, she said. The study was ... Read more

Informed Patients Can Help Stem Antibiotic Overuse
Posted 13 Sep 2013 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, Sept. 13 – A local, low-cost information campaign that was primarily aimed at patients – although involving doctors and pharmacists as well – helped reduce antibiotic prescribing, according to a new study from Italy. Overuse of antibiotics is considered a major global public health concern because it can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Unnecessary and inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics is common. This study, published Sept. 12 on BMJ.com, looked at an antibiotic education campaign implemented by local health officials in the provinces of Modena and Parma in 2011 to 2012. Nearby provinces where no such campaigns were implemented acted as a control group. Italy has one of the highest levels of antibiotic use in Europe, according to a journal news release. The campaign was designed to inform the general population that antibiotics are necessary in ... Read more

Penicillin Prevents Return of Leg Infection Called Cellulitis: Study
Posted 1 May 2013 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, May 1 – For people who have suffered from cellulitis of the leg, a long course of low-dose penicillin prevents the painful infection from returning, British researchers report. Once the penicillin is stopped, however, its protective effect diminishes and the condition can flare up again, the researchers noted. "Low-dose penicillin substantially reduces the risk of further episodes of leg cellulitis in those who have had two or more previous episodes," said lead researcher Hywel Williams, a professor of dermato-epidemiology at the University of Nottingham. "The penicillin reduced recurrences from 37 percent in the group taking placebo to 22 percent in those taking penicillin," Williams said. "But this effect only occurred in the period that folks took the penicillin. When they stopped the 12 months of penicillin, the protective effect wore off." Cellulitis is a common ... Read more

Antibiotic Prescribing Rates Vary by Region: Report
Posted 10 Apr 2013 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, April 10 – The chances that your doctor will give you antibiotics when you're sick may be influenced by geography, new research reveals. It's tough to know exactly what factors contributed to the regional variations the research team found in antibiotic prescription rates, said study author Lauri Hicks, medical director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Why is West Virginia more than double compared to Alaska? I imagine there are provider factors, patient factors and cultural factors that are all shaping the impact," Hicks said. Some patients may pressure physicians to give them what they perceive as a "quick fix" so they can get back to work sooner or return their sick child to day care, Hicks added. Unfortunately, that contributes to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance, she said. "We should be thinking of antibiotics not as a magic bullet, ... Read more

Health Tip: Take Antibiotics Only When Needed
Posted 17 Jan 2013 by Drugs.com
-- The more you take an antibiotic unnecessarily, the more likely bacteria can adapt and become resistant to the drug. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers this advice to help prevent antibiotic resistance: Ask your doctor whether you need an antibiotic to treat your illness. Consider whether there are other ways to help you feel better that don't involve an antibiotic. Never take an antibiotic to treat a viral infection, such as the flu or common cold. An antibiotic can only treat infections that are bacterial, not viral. Always take an antibiotic exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Never skip a dose or stop taking it before your prescription is finished. Never take an antibiotic that was prescribed for someone else. Read more

Health Tip: Use Antibiotics Wisely
Posted 22 Nov 2012 by Drugs.com
-- Your child must take an antibiotic according to a doctor's prescription or label instructions, to make sure the medicine works properly and doesn't foster drug-resistant bacteria. The American Academy of Pediatrics offers these tips for parents: Make sure your child takes the entire course of medication exactly as prescribed. Give your child an antibiotic prescribed just for him or her; never share an antibiotic prescribed for someone else. Schedule any follow-up appointment recommended by your pediatrician after the antibiotic is finished – for example, an ear exam after an ear infection. Be sure to call the pediatrician if your child has finished an antibiotic and still isn't feeling well. Read more

Many Americans Still in the Dark About Antibiotic Resistance
Posted 13 Nov 2012 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Nov. 13 – Americans are not as smart about antibiotics and antibiotic resistance as they should be, a new poll shows. For instance, although almost 90 percent of Americans know that antibiotics are effective for treating bacterial infections, more than a third also erroneously believed the drugs can fight viral infections such as the common cold or the flu. "It's a common misperception that antibiotics can cure the common cold, and unnecessary overuse of antibiotics for illnesses like colds is dumping fuel on a wildfire of resistance," said Dr. Lauri Hicks, medical director of the "Get Smart: Know When Antibiotics Work" program at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The number of antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" is soaring. In 2005, almost 370,000 Americans were hospitalized with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), up from only about 2,000 in ...

Antibiotics in Childhood May Increase Bowel Disease Risk: Study
Posted 24 Sep 2012 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Sept. 24 – Use of certain antibiotics may put children at higher risk for developing bowel diseases, new research has found. The earlier children take antibiotics and the more they take, the higher the risk of later developing the inflammatory bowel diseases known as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the researchers found. "There appears to be a 'dose response' effect," said Dr. Matt Kronman, assistant professor of pediatric infectious diseases at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle. "The more antibiotics children took, the more their risk increased." Earlier studies had suggested a link between bowel disease and antibiotics use, but most of those studies had limitations. The new study, published online Sept. 24 in the journal Pediatrics, looked at data on more than 1 million children 17 years old or younger in nearly 500 health practices ... Read more

Kids' Penicillin Allergy May Not Signal Other Drug Reactions
Posted 7 Mar 2012 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, March 7 – Children who are allergic to penicillin are not more likely than other kids to develop additional drug allergies, new research suggests. Pediatric patients who need antibiotics are often prescribed penicillin, the study authors noted. Prior research in adults has suggested that allergies to penicillin could be a signal for additional allergies to other medications. But in the new study, which included an analysis of 778 medical records from patients under the age of 18, of the 8 percent of children who had a positive skin test for penicillin allergy, just 21 percent were found to have allergies to additional drugs. In comparison, 23 percent of those with negative penicillin skin tests displayed multiple drug allergies.

Health Tip: Why Antibiotic Resistance Is Serious
Posted 16 Nov 2011 by Drugs.com
-- Antibiotic resistance occurs when a bacterium mutates and becomes immune to the effects of a specific antibiotic. You can help prevent antibiotic resistance by taking an antibiotic regimen only when necessary. Remember that antibiotics don't work against viral infections such as a cold or the flu. If you do begin taking an antibiotic, you should never skip a dose. Also, you should finish the entire amount that your doctor has prescribed, despite the fact that you might be feeling better. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says antibiotic-resistant bacteria are dangerous because: It may be difficult to find a medication that kills the bacteria. Resistant bacteria tend to spread more quickly between families and within communities. Infections become more difficult and more expensive to treat. People may die from a resistant infection before it can be treated ... Read more

Docs Overprescribing Antibiotics for Home-Care Patients: Study
Posted 17 Jun 2011 by Drugs.com
FRIDAY, June 17 – Amid increased threats of drug-resistant infections, a new study reveals that doctors may overprescribe antibiotics to patients receiving ongoing medical care at home. Researchers from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, found that patients younger than 65 and those with poorer prognoses, in particular, are at greatest risk for misuse of the drugs. "Taken together, our results reveal tremendous variability in how and why antibiotics are prescribed, and that overuse in the home-care population is likely," said one of the study's authors, Dr. Mark Loeb. In conducting the study, published in the June issue of Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, researchers compiled medical information on more than 125,000 patients receiving home care for more than 60 days over the course of one year. The findings suggested that doctors may be more cautious with younger ... Read more

Smarten Up About Antibiotics, CDC Urges
Posted 18 Nov 2010 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Nov. 18 – Knowing when to take antibiotics – and when not to – can help fight the rise of deadly "superbugs," say experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About half of antibiotics prescribed are unnecessary or inappropriate, the agency says, and overuse has helped create bacteria that don't respond, or respond less effectively, to the drugs used to fight them. "Antibiotics are a shared resource that has become a scarce resource," said Dr. Lauri Hicks, a medical epidemiologist at the CDC. She's also medical director a of new program, Get Smart: Know When Antibiotics Work, that had its launch this week. "Everyone has a role to play in preventing the spread of antibiotic resistance," Hicks said. The stakes are high, said Dr. Arjun Srinivasan, CDC's associate director for health care-associated infection prevention programs. Almost every type of bacteria ... Read more

A Radical Plan To Save Antibiotics
Posted 7 Sep 2010 by Drugs.com
From Guardian Web (September 7, 2010) What are we to do about the diminishing power of antibiotics - once the miracle drugs that looked set to end infectious diseases? We know the problem is becoming very serious - here is a piece I wrote about the alarming prospects for a future without antibiotics. But we don't hear much in the way of imaginative answers. So it's refreshing to read a paper out this morning from Aaron Kesselheim, from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, and Kevin Outterson, a professor at Boston University Law School. Their analysis, published in the journal Health Affairs, says the usual idea, to give pharmaceutical companies financial incentives to invent and manufacture more antibiotics, won't work. One of the reasons we are in this parlous state of affairs, they say, is that drug companies in the past have tried too hard to sell more ... Read more

TUESDAY, May 18 – Some patients who take antibiotics may become resistant to them and stay that way for as long as a year, a new review finds. The researchers analyzed 24 studies of antibiotic resistance, in which people develop a partial or full immunity to the powers of a medication. The studies looked at use of the drugs in primary care, most often for respiratory or urinary tract infections. Antibiotic resistance is at its height in the month after a drug is prescribed, but the effect may last for a year, according to the findings published online May 18 in BMJ. "Primary care clinicians and patients may wish to consider this evidence when discussing the benefits and risks of prescribing and consuming antibiotics," study author Alastair Hay, consultant senior lecturer in primary health care at the University of Bristol in England, and colleagues concluded.

Are you ready for Femme Fatale? Well, Britney Spears is sure doing her best to get fans amped up for the release with three upcoming performances. The first of which will pair her with none other than Paul "DJ Pauly D" Delvecchio of "Jersey Shore" fame.
Normally, we'd be inclined to say "Um… really?" but the appearance comes as a surprise courtesy of the Palms' Rain Nightclub in Las Vegas. Actually, we're still scratching our heads a little on this one.
Spears tweeted Friday (Mar. 25) morning, "Looks like my little secret isn't a secret anymore. Who's coming to watch me take the stage tonight @RainLasVegas at @PalmsLasVegas?"
A few hours later, she posted a TwitPic from what we imagine to be her room at the resort. With a caption reading, "I wonder who the special guest is?" The photo is of the Palms marquee which says: "Clash Fridays, DJ Pauly D & Special Guest."
We're a little upset that Spears gets second billing to the reality star, but the fact that she's a "surprise" guest makes it semi-acceptable. Technically, the performance has not been publicized by the hotel and it's not entirely clear whether Spears will join Pauly D or be completely separated. Not going to lie though, it would be a personal dream come true for us to see both of them at the same time.
The singer is also scheduled to appear on "Good Morning America" Tuesday morning, following with "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" at midnight to coincide with her album release date. She will reportedly perform her latest hits, "Till The World Ends" and "Hold It Against Me."
But the real questions still remain — Will she lip sync? Will she actually dance? You better believe we'll be watching to find out.

Fast National ratings for Monday, Jan. 17, 2011
NBC got a solid debut from its new series "Harry's Law" on Monday night, winning the 10 o'clock hour in total viewers. "The Cape" stumbled some in its regular timeslot, however, and NBC was left in its usual fourth-place spot overall for the evening, while CBS finished on top.
The first football-free Monday of the season didn't make much difference in the ratings for the broadcast networks. CBS was up slightly compared to the last time it had originals on Jan. 3, winning the night with 11.7 million viewers and a 7.2 rating/11 share in households. The return of "House" helped FOX (8.3 million, 4.9/7) take second. ABC (7.7 million, 5.1/8) and NBC (7.7 million, 4.7/7) finished in a near tie for third place; ABC leads by 7,000 viewers at the moment. The CW (862,000, 0.5/1) was a non-factor.
In the adults 18-49 demographic, CBS' 3.5 rating easily grabbed the top spot. FOX finished second in the demo with a 2.7. ABC, 2.3., came in third, while NBC was fourth at 2.0. The CW drew a 0.3.

Drive failed. 01/02/2013
This review is from: Hitachi GST Deskstar 7K3000 HDS723020BLA642 (0f12115) 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Large drive
Drive started failing 11 months after use. I started getting windows errors and upon diagnosis had many bad sectors. Very disappointed.
Other Thoughts:
I thought this was a higher quality drive. Very disappointed in the early failure. Customer service is only open during normal business hours for hitachi so hard to get a hold of them since most of us work during that time.

Indiana's largest school district is planning to lay off more than 90 teachers, largely because of the state takeover of four schools starting this fall.
The Indianapolis Public School Board voted Tuesday night to approve the layoffs of 163 employees, including 94 teachers. That is more than the 150 layoffs that the district had projected, but the vote came without debate or protest, according to The Indianapolis Star.
Three district high schools and a middle school that have had years of poor student performance will be run by private operators picked by the state. Those schools are Arlington Community High School, Manual High School, Howe Community High School and Donnan Middle School.
Some teachers at the takeover schools have been offered jobs at other district sites, and some have accepted positions with the school operators. They layoffs also include support staff, custodial and administrative workers.

For Rahima al Sayyad the day starts at five in the morning looking after the family cattle, and does not end until 10 in the evening, when she finishes cleaning the house. In between she walks an hour and a half under a scorching sun to go to school.
Rahima, 11, lives in an impoverished region of Somaliland, one of the poorest countries in the world. The school is a small tent crammed with 60 boys and girls of different ages, some of them squatting on the floor because of a shortage of desks and chairs.
But there is a thirst for knowledge and the hope of rewards it may bring that one does not often come across in more fortunate, affluent societies.
"We do not have enough books, or writing pads or pencils, so it is very hard," said Rahima. "I also get very tired because I have to work after finishing my lessons. But I enjoy learning and I want it to continue as long as possible.
"It is very important for girls to get an education. My mother did not get this chance, she says all the time. I want to be a teacher, but I do not think my parents can let me stay at school for that long. We are very poor."
Despite the problems and an uncertain future, Rahima has at least had a start on the first rung of the ladder and, as such, is one of the lucky few among the dispossessed of the Third World.
A report published today shows that even the most basic education for children remains an unaffordable luxury for a huge number of families. High costs, discrimination, poverty and perennial conflicts have led to 100 million children - 60 million of them girls - being denied schooling.
Successive studies have shown, apart from the moral and ethical dimensions, educating girls contributes greatly to the overall well-being of a community. There are reductions in the rates of malnutrition, infant mortality and HIV/Aids, and greater economic growth.
Education leads not only to female empowerment but also, the evidence shows, it introduces the family's children into a culture of reading which does not appear to happen when it is only the fathers who receive lessons.
Western governments and the United Nations have spoken publicly about the intrinsic benefits and the imperative of allowing access to education for females. But little of this has translated into tangible results. Instead, in many countries a combination of lack of resources, lawlessness and, in some Muslim states, the influence of conservative clerics, have reversed what little gains have been made in the past.
The new figures have been produced by the British charity Save the Children, which has pioneered girls' schooling of the type Rahima is benefiting from in Somaliland's Togdheer region.
The report, 60 Million Girls, maintains that little but lip service has been paid to the UN's Millennium Development Goal of ensuring that by 2005 as many girls would go to school as boys.
"UN member states have failed to meet the target. In more than 70 countries girls are still less likely than boys to go to school ... in Ethiopia, for example, nearly three quarters of girls do not go to schools. In the UK, it is less than 1 per cent.
"Failure to reach the target on girls' education results in a million unnecessary child and maternal deaths a year. Babies born to mothers who have been to primary school are twice as likely to live beyond five years of age."
The next part of the UN's Millennium Goal is that by 2015 every child would be able to complete primary school. But the feeling among many involved in Third World education projects is that this looks a very distant, fading dream unless drastic steps are taken by the rich world. The 10 worst-affected countries are in sub-Saharan Africa, where 20 million girls are failing to get an education. In Somalia, a state in anarchy, 89 per cent of girls do not go to school. In Niger, facing mass starvation, it is 72 per cent.
The desire among girls to be educated and break out of the cycle of dependence and poverty forces them to make " terrible choices", says the report, citing the example of Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, a country looted by its former ruler Charles Taylor, and where little or no attention was given to women's rights. "An estimated 60 to 80 per cent of [poorer] teenage girls want an education so much they sell the only commodity, their bodies, to fund it."
The report also found that: "In areas of conflict, girls who cannot afford to go to school are more likely to join armed groups where they are forced to fight and sexually exploited."
That is what happened to Aimerance, from South Kivu in the Congo, a country with some of the richest mineral deposits in Africa but which has experienced years of violent strife. Her parents were itinerant farm labourers who had saved up to send her to school, but the money ran out and at the age of 14 she was recruited into a rebel faction.
"I was with them for two years, we suffered a lot," she said. "The men took us as their 'wives' - they treated us very badly. They didn't even consider the fact we were children. At any time they wanted, they had sex with us.
"I felt so weak and feeble and like I had lost all my intelligence. This did not happen just to me but lots and lots of girls I knew."
In areas of natural as well as man-made disasters, discrimination against females has a highly damaging effect on the community. While giving out aid in Niger, Unicef and other charities found that often what little food was left in a community was locked away by men from their wives and children, while they went off for weeks to look for work or money elsewhere. The belief among the men appeared to be that the aid agencies would provide for the family.
Unicef also discovered that giving aid directly to women offered much more of a guarantee that it would get to the rest of the family, especially the children, while the men would sometimes sell it on the black market or pass it on to other males in the clan.
Women in the areas of acute food shortage complained bitterly about the discrimination and saw little hope of things changing. Khalida Ibrahim, 19, a mother of two, said at her home in a village near Zinder. "The men control everything here, including the food. If we had been allowed to go to schools then we could have got jobs and brought food to our families. Among the children, if anyone gets to go to school it is the boys, not the girls."
The food crisis in Niger is taking place largely in an area which has experienced a growth in Islamic fundamentalism. Activists went on a rampage in the region's capital, Maradi, a few years ago in protest at an international fashion show. Around the same time a campaign began to segregate girls from boys in schools and parents were encouraged to keep older girls at home.
Even when the educational facilities are present, and the willingness is there to send children to school, there is the problem of costs. In Liberia, for instance, sending one child to school costs about £ 33. That may not sound much, but when the average annual salary is just £ 62 it is an investment few could afford. Putting it in terms of the United Kingdom, it would mean the family with an average income of £17,000 spending £ 8,500 a year in school fees for one boy or girl.
The problem of school fees is not just confined to the abjectly poverty-stricken countries. China might be the rising international industrial giant, but children in its more deprived regions are a long way from tasting the benefits of the country's commercial success. Pakistan may be a nuclear armed power, but it is also a country where 47 per cent of girls do not get to school. The situation is particularly acute in the vast tribal areas which have seen an Islamic resurgence.
Li Hongjiao, 12, from Shuangjiang County in Yunnan, lives in a farming community with little to spare. "When I grow up I'd like to get a good job but I don't think I'll be able to because we have not got the money," she said.
"My parents have to pay more than 2,000 yuan [£140] a year for my brother to go to middle school. But they won't be able to afford to pay for me to go too. They would like both of us to go, but they cannot afford it. They can only afford to pay for one."
Making schooling free, on the other hand, has had dramatic effects. In Uganda the abolition of primary school fees more than doubled attendance by girls inside three years, to 49 per cent of pupils. Numbers also rose significantly in Tanzania and Kenya when education was made free.
But getting children to school is just the first step. There are still huge shortages of rudimentary equipment andtrained teachers. In rural Kenya, for instance, many classes have to cope with more than a hundred pupils.
Save the Children's project in Somaliland has seen the proportion of girls enrolled in schools rise from 25 per cent to 40 per cent in Togdheer. But the country, which went through a bitter war of secession from neighbouring Somalia, still has a long way to go, with only 17 per cent of children attending primary school and, according to UN figures, 73 per cent of the population living in poverty.
Fotuma Abdilahi, a project officer, said: "This is just one part of Somaliland, there are many other areas where girls are not getting any schooling at all.
"The education structure collapsed during the war and it has been very difficult to get girls back into the system. There are also big problems with infrastructure. We have had flooding which had seen classrooms swept away by water and children have not been able to come to school because big lakes have formed in the paths they used."
Then there are those, at the very bottom of the pile, who seem to be slipping through all the safety nets. At the country's only orphanage, 327 children survive on meagre donations.
"We try to give the children a basic education, but we don't have enough chalks, blackboards, desks and books," said the director, Mohammed Ishamail.
"It is strange, this orphanage was started in 1954 under British rule, with British help. Now we get no help from the British Government. What I really worry about is the children leaving here and ending up in a camp."
One such camp is at the west of the capital, a place of little hope. Huts made out of branches, cardboard and torn strips of material, among piles of detritus.
About 500 families live in squalor there, among them Khadra Mohammed and her nine children. "We do not even have enough money for clean water, we do not have enough food, we have no medicine. Where am I going to get money to send them to school? We are just struggling to stay alive."Reuse content

YAY, Pam!
Don't downplay your accomplishment, dear. Sounds like you've put in some
backbreaking labor and "made love grow". <s!> The little beasties in
your yard must be mighty appreciative.
How much time did it take you to complete the forms and documentation
for the NWF? I've been meaning to do that myself and keep
procrastinating. . . .

Well my friends, it is now official. I have received my certificate from
the NWF for my backyard wildlife habitat. Im so pleased. It's not much
considering the accomplishments of most of you incredibly talented
folks, but I'm happy about it. Consider before I bought this place 8
years ago it was a drug house. Awful. Yard was full of broken glass, no
fence, no flower beds, no shrubs, concrete clay soil, etc. Pat says all
the windows were painted black and there was a non-functioning toilet on
the front porch. Lovely. Now, birds, butterflies and little gecko
lizards thrive. The gardens are improving every year (provided the
drought didn't set me back too far). Just wanted to share my news.

USC-ND series extended, more opponents set
USC announced that its nearly century-long series against Notre Dame has been extended through 2023, and the Trojans have also set a three-game nonconference series with BYU and scheduled three other future nonconference opponents.
Wednesday's announcement ensured that the USC-Notre Dame series, which started in 1926, will continue after the Fighting Irish begin an ACC football schedule in 2014. Notre Dame previously dropped its longstanding series against Michigan.
USC will play at BYU on Sept. 14, 2019, then host the Cougars on Nov. 27, 2021, and Nov. 25, 2023, with both games on Thanksgiving weekend. The teams played a home-and-home series in 2003 and 2004.
USC's 2015 season will start with nonconference home games against Arkansas State (Sept. 5) and Idaho (Sept. 12). The Trojans will open the 2016 season at home against New Mexico (Sept. 3).
USC had previously announced nonference games against Texas (home in 2015, road in 2018) and Fresno State (home in 2014).
The Trojans will not, however, play Tennessee in the future, at least not under current plans. In 2009, Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton announced a verbal agreement to play USC in 2021 and 2022. On Wednesday, a USC spokesman said Tennessee is not part of USC's future schedule. No contract, it seems, had been signed.

Hildene home tours offer glimpse of historic family
By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL
Associated Press
MANCHESTER, Vt. — Abe Lincoln was born in a log cabin but his son built himself a mansion. Robert Todd Lincoln, the president's only child to survive to adulthood, built the Georgian Revival home, called Hildene, as a seasonal dream home for his wife and children, and as a place where he could bring his widowed mother, Mary Todd Lincoln.
But Hildene is no dusty museum. Located on 412 acres (167 hectares) between two spectacular mountain ranges, the homestead offers a feeling of warmth, family and hospitality along with the history lessons.
The site is expecting a boost in interest thanks to the new Steven Spielberg movie "Lincoln," which stars Daniel Day-Lewis as the former president and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as his son. The Hildene staff is looking forward to welcoming more visitors and teaching them about the place where Lincoln descendants lived until 1975, said Paula Maynard, press director and group tour leader.
"I've been telling people for eight years, which is when I first got here, that this movie was coming, and we'd get to tell this part of the story," Maynard says. "I think people stopped believing me. … But we expect visitation to grow from it, and it's been growing anyway between 8 and 10 percent annually."
One frequently asked question is what Hildene means. Maynard says the word combines phrases that mean "hill and valley with a stream," and that Robert Todd Lincoln apparently had the name in mind from the start of construction in 1903.
Visitors also are curious about the relationship between Robert Todd Lincoln and his mother, whom he had committed to a hospital for mental illness. Decades later, in a bedroom that served as his quarters in later years when he suffered from arthritis, papers were found in a closet safe with medical documentation that validated his decision to hospitalize her. Before she died, the two were reconciled and Mary Todd Lincoln was a frequent visitor to Hildene.
Before building Hildene, Robert Todd Lincoln had served in Washington as secretary of war for President James Garfield and overseas as the United States' ambassador to Great Britain for President Benjamin Harrison.
But Robert Todd Lincoln apparently had wanted to live in Vermont for many years. His law partner Edward Isham was born in Bennington and built a home in Manchester 15 years before Hildene was completed. After Lincoln became chairman of Pullman Company in 1897, at the time one of the country's biggest companies, he could afford to build the house of his dreams.
Maynard says, however, that the Lincolns "were not lavish and always wanted simple elegance. The Lincolns' main social life was in Chicago. They lived there half the year and here half the year. When they came to Vermont, it was for the same reasons we do — for a getaway. They only entertained people really close to them and it was designed to be that way."
The music from the home's 1,000-pipe organ — with its player attachment intact — draws visitors in at the first step into the entry foyer. The parlor, which looks out onto a beautiful east-facing patio and garden with vistas of the Taconic and Green Mountains, could easily be the gathering spot for a modern martini party, book club meeting or holiday meal. Like much of the 8,000-square-foot home (almost 750 square meters), the room's traditional yet tasteful decor seems grand but not showy — very New England.
The walls, for example, were made to look like mahogany but were really made of poplar. "Robert was like his dad, he counted his pennies," Maynard said.
The kitchen includes the latest in 20th-century gadgetry and is next to a lovely dining room with a table that could sit about 12 but no more for a formal meal. Across the hall was the servants' dining room, another comfortable room that would probably be the hub of the house if it were lived in now.
The tour also includes a look at the Victorian-style master suite, the guest room where President William Howard Taft stayed and an office with an early predecessor to the copying machine. A luxury Pullman Sunbeam travel train car sits along the winding driveway.
Also located on the estate is an observatory with telescope, an agricultural center and many trails that can be used by day hikers, picnickers and, in the winter, snowshoers and cross-country skiers. There is also a regular schedule of classes, depending on the season, including cheese-making, composting and how to make a butterfly garden.
During the holiday season, the home is decorated as if it were Christmas Eve 1912. That was a year Robert Todd Lincoln was being heavily courted to run for president, said Maynard.
He chose to stay home.
