Ages: 6 Weeks to 12 Year-Olds
Elementary Schools Bussed To:
Jaworek, Cane, Whitcomb, IC buses to center
Our center is accredited by NAEYC.
We're so proud!
Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited - nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That's a big difference, and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here's why.
What Learning Looks Like
Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.
Our Programs
Infant Programs (6 weeks - 1 year)
Babies grow and learn every day. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing "home away from home" where babies can explore and make new discoveries. We know that learning through play is extremely valuable at this age and our Early Foundations® Infant program is designed to give babies the skills that will serve as the building blocks for a lifetime of learning.
Toddler Programs (1 – 2 Years)
As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Early Foundations® Toddler program will help them explore their world in a safe and nurturing environment. Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best through experiences. So each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.
Discovery Preschool Programs (2 – 3 Years)
At this age, children are making new discoveries daily. And as two-year olds begin to exert their independence, our Early Foundations® Discovery Preschool program is prepared to open their eyes to a world of learning, sharing, and exploring. Our holistic approach in the classroom engages young minds with a blend of music, art, and movement, as well as the early education fundamentals they'll need as they continue on to preschool.
Preschool Programs (3 – 4 Years)
As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math, science, and social studies concepts. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active too.
Prekindergarten Programs (4 – 5 Years)
Prekindergartners are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime – school. And our Early Foundations Prekindergarten® program is designed to get them ready by teaching letters and words, math concepts, and valuable social skills. With small group instruction, independent play in an organized atmosphere, and whole-group activities, children will have all the right skills to hop, skip, and jump right into kindergarten.
Private Kindergarten Programs (5 – 6 Years)
As children reach school age, our comprehensive full-day kindergarten program helps them explore, communicate, and create – all in a nurturing, small-class setting. Our team of expert educators has created a unique curriculum of reading, language, arts, math, science, and physical fitness that's presented in a fun way to encourage a lifelong love of learning. Plus, our program is aligned with local and state elementary school standards, so children will be prepared to confidently enter first grade.
Before- & After-School Programs (5 – 12 Years)
Even after school's out for the day, children need to be engaged in a comfortable, yet stimulating environment. That's where our Catch the Wave® program comes in. This innovative before – and after-school program allows school-age children to balance learning and fun through a variety of experiences. From homework help to fun physical activities, our program is designed so that everyone goes home happy.
Learning Adventures - Enrichment Program
Our Cooking Academy program teaches kids confidence in the kitchen through hands-on activities that build important math, science, and social skills. They'll learn about recipes, ingredients, cooking vocabulary, and nutrition—and get to eat some delicious food made all on their own like carrot and turmeric hummus, pumpkin muffins, vegetable curry, black bean and sweet potato chili, and so much more!
The Math Adventures enrichment program is designed to teach important mathematics concepts such as geometry, numbers, measurement, and probability. Your child will learn about length, height, and weight. He will learn about shapes and solids. He will learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and count money. Math is everywhere and giving your child every advantage now will add up to success later in life.
Ongoing research proves that early exposure to music helps children think, reason, create, and express themselves. Children will laugh and learn about rhythm, vocal melodies, and a variety of musical genres and instruments, which can lower stress and advance memory. Learning never sounded so good.
Phonics & Reading Adventures
Set your child up for advanced success with literacy through phonics, the study of letters and sounds. Reader books, games, and activity cards help your child understand the basics of vowels and blending syllables, giving him confidence and command of language.
Our Teachers
We're the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn't enough though. KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply, we love our teachers and your child will, too.
Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!
An Artist's Heart
"My classroom is full of art!" says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.
We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We're so proud to have been named one of Gallup's 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award. When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience an amazing place to learn and grow.
Our Families
Don't take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!
My two girls have been attending KinderCare since they were infants. The staff and center are amazing. The teachers become like a second family. I don't think the team gets enough credit they are exceptional! They've been extremely accommodating to my youngest with food allergies and eczema and are always ready for the newest thing we can throw at them! They are understanding and compassionate they do what they do with love. It's really true it does take a village to raise a child or perhaps just a fantastic KinderCare team! Love all my KinderCare family!
Cassandra H. - KinderCare Parent
We have been happy with KinderCare for the past eight years. My kids always came home happy and excited about their day which is a great feeling for a working mom. The director is always willing to work with us and many teachers have been there for a long time; it feels so close to our hearts. The meals are healthy and the school has structure which my kids need! I can't recommend a better day care than KinderCare. I am always greeted by a friendly face and treated with kindness. As a family, we feel very fortunate to have found such great care for our son and daughter.
Syamala A. - KinderCare Parent
I love all the great activities you do with the kids. It really makes me feel like I am giving my kids the best advantage possible with their early education. The things my children are able to learn are so beyond what I could teach or a home daycare could ever try to replicate. I never had any early childhood education, so I did not know what to expect when we joined. I just hoped for a few craft projects to post on my refrigerator here and there. I never expected my kids would have curriculum! Play in water! Even Valencia! And now I have birthday cards for Papi, Mothers day and Father's day cards and art a few times a week from Gabriel. And I get a photo of him actually making the art! Gabriel's vocabulary has skyrocketed. He knows all sorts of new songs, and he is even counting to 13Š. He knows weather- it's honestly incredible. I am a raving fan and I have to tell you how happy I am my children are in your center.
Erin T. - KinderCare Parent
I had my doubts when I thought about choosing a right Preschool for my kids. The first center that came to mind was KinderCare. I have worked at KinderCare a long time ago. My kids love to go to school every morning, and when we pick them up, they refuse to leave. That is a really good sign that the school is one of the best out there. Mr. Marshall is my son's teacher and we just love him so much. He is a really good teacher and my son looks up to him so much. Ms. Carly and Ms. Sara are my daughter's teachers. She also loves them. They are great, and I am thankful my children are being cared by such good teachers. We will never forget their first teachers. Thank you all the staff for all the amazing care you guys give to my kids and all others.
Amanda M. - KinderCare Parent
KinderCare in Marlborough is such a fabulous center. The staff is always so nice and the teachers are great! I truly feel very safe every day leaving my kids (2 and 4) there. We have been a KinderCare family since my son was an infant and have always trusted that both of my kids are having fun and learning. I can't say enough good things about it.

TOKYO – The closing decade of the twentieth century offered a crystal ball for anyone peering into the future of the Asia-Pacific region. Japan's economy, once the region's leader, was "lost" after its asset bubble burst, whereas China overcame the economic stagnation that followed the Tiananmen Square crisis of 1989 to achieve its current path of strong growth.
The debate raging 10 years ago about China's rapid growth – whether it represents a danger or an opportunity – has now settled into broad agreement that wider regional development would be impossible without it.
Further geo-political implications for the region and the world follow from three key changes in China. The first concerns the pattern of Chinese economic growth, which so far has been achieved mainly by rapid increases in factor inputs – labor, capital, and energy.
But recent research suggests that about one-third of China's economic growth comes from technological progress, or from the increase in total factor productivity.
In other words, China's growth pattern is becoming similar to that of industrialized economies, suggesting that growth will be increasingly balanced.
The second transformation is the substantial appreciation of the renminbi that seems inevitable in the coming years. Today, given the importance of exports to China's economy, its government is reluctant to permit a major revaluation, despite strong pressure by foreign governments to allow the renminbi to appreciate in line with the country's huge trade surplus. But Chinese officials know that renminbi appreciation is also in China's interest, as they seek to dampen inflationary pressures. China's government therefore appears ready to allow the renminbi to appreciate, the question being how fast.
From 2003-2005, long before the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the renminbi appreciated by 20%. In light of China's rapid economic growth and the renminbi's growing strength, Chinese GDP (based on the market dollar rate) will likely exceed that of the US much earlier than expected, possibly in 10-15 years.
And, when measured in terms of purchasing power parity, China's GDP will reach that of the US around 2015, thus changing the world's balance of economic power.
The third transformation is demographic: the fallout from China's official one-child policy, which will cause the working-age population to start declining in the mid-2010's. This will cause economic growth to slacken, complicating effective management of China's domestic problems, which range from deep income disparities to the lack of political institutions capable of channeling popular grievances and demands.
In these circumstances, the role of the country's political leadership will become much more important. Although the current president, Hu Jintao, is due to step down in 2012, he will continue to hold a degree of power through the military, so the succession of power to the next generation will not be completed until around 2015.
Although Chinese GDP is large and growing, its per capita income is still low, and its economic policies differ sharply from those prevailing in the region's OECD countries. The geopolitical landscape that emerges around the middle of this decade will thus reflect significant changes elsewhere in Asia as well.
Even so, Chinese policy choices significantly influence other Asian countries, with China's "state capitalist" economic model now being mimicked elsewhere in the region. Of course, Japan, Korea, and Singapore had similar policy models in the past (though they later adapted them in line with their GDP growth).
Now, however, these countries are once again espousing forms of state capitalism and a return to industrial policy (encouraged as well by the 2008 global financial meltdown, which gave a new rationale for a return to government intervention).
In Japan, postal services that had been privatized are to be re-nationalized, and the role of government finance is being strengthened. Japan Air Lines, which was almost bankrupt, was rescued by a government bailout, a device that seems to be increasingly common.
Similarly, while many Asian countries already have sovereign wealth funds, now South Korea's government is establishing a new type of fund to support the construction sector's export activities.
In short, closer business-government relationships are being re-established throughout the Asian-Pacific region. Countries are especially seeking to strengthen their infrastructure exports through a combination of public- and private-sector activity.
But that means that international regulations will be needed to limit government intervention, or at least to define the circumstances in which it will be deemed acceptable. To achieve this, the United States and China must reconcile their very different views of how a market economy should operate.
As the world begins to grapple with the creation of a new economic order, the moderating role of a third party in conflicts between the US and China will be extremely important. It is a role that will fall to Japan for Asian-Pacific issues, but to European countries on global issues. If Europe can successfully manage this role, US-China tensions can be overcome, offering the entire world the opportunity to harness and benefit from the strength of its two largest economies.

In our new prediction slugfest, Gold Derby Editors agree that Allison Janney ("Masters of Sex") is the frontrunner (and has been since last year) in the Emmy race for Best Drama Guest Actress, but that Jane Fonda ("The Newsroom") and Kate Burton ("Scandal") give great performances in their episode submissions and could dethrone Janney.
Senior Editor Daniel Montgomery and I battle it out mano-a-mano-style in our latest video (watch below) as we analyze the episodes submitted to Emmy judges as examples of their best work from the past TV season.
Janney entered "Brave New World," Fonda tried her luck with "Red Team III" and Burton went with "A Door Marked Exit." The other nominees are: Kate Mara for "House of Cards" ("Chapter 14"), Margo Martindale for "The Americans" ("Behind the Red Door") and Diana Rigg for "Game of Thrones" ("The Lion and the Rose").
Emmy Episode Analysis: Read our Pros and Cons for
Kate Burton | Jane Fonda | Allison Janney
Daniel and I believe Janney has the benefit of being an Emmy favorite (two supporting trophies and two lead trophies for "The West Wing") with a fantastic episode for voters to drool over. Fonda and Burton, meanwhile, have scenes with great impact, but could suffer from screen-time issues: Fonda's scene doesn't come until the final minutes of her episode, while Burton's money scene is the opening of her entry.
But don't count out Mara, Martindale or Rigg just yet. In our slugfest, we give reasons for why each of them could win, even if the odds aren't currently in their favor.
Speaking of odds, Gold Derby's official combined racetrack odds currently find Janney in first place with 2/11 odds, Fonda in second with 20/1 odds and Burton in third with 25/1 odds. Rigg, Mara and Martindale are tied for fourth with 50/1 odds.

5 Decadent & Warm Vegan Drinks for Winter
It's officially chilly out there! Rather than turn up the thermostat this winter, warm yourself from the inside out with these decadent vegan drinks.
Of course, you could warm yourself up with a hot cup of tea, but isn't there something about the cold weather that makes you crave a rich, decadent drink to warn your belly and your soul? Folks usually associate drinks like hot cocoa and chai tea with cow's milk, but armed with some tasty milk alternatives and a careful eye for label-reading, you can satisfy your sweet tooth with a cruelty-free mug instead.
Need a little inspiration to fill your mug? We've got five decadent vegan drinks that are sure to please!
1. Coconut Hot Chocolate
It's a common misconception that chocolate isn't vegan. In fact, quality dark chocolate doesn't contain any milk at all. When chocolate-makers do add dairy, it's usually butter oil or milkfat. Ghirardelli's semi-sweet chocolate chips are totally vegan, and Whole Foods 365 brand makes vegan chocolate chips, as well.
This coconut hot chocolate recipe makes four cups of rich, creamy cocoa.
- 4c of coconut milk
- 1c vegan dark chocolate chips
- 3t powdered sugar
- 1t vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
- Heat the coconut milk into a small, thick-bottomed pot on low heat until it starts to simmer, stirring constantly.
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir well until the chocolate melts and everything is totally combined.
- Heat for a few minutes more, stirring constantly.
- Ladle into bowls, and garnish with a little bit of cocoa powder, if you like.
2. Almond Milk Chai
This rich, spiced tea features ginger, cardamom, and almond milk! The recipe makes one mug.
- 1 teabag of fair trade chai tea
- 1c boiling water
- 1/4c almond milk
- 1t maple syrup
- Steep the tea in a mug of hot water for 3-5 minutes.
- In a separate mug, heat the almond milk and maple syrup in the microwave for 1 minute.
- Remove the bag from the tea and pour it over the almond milk mixture. Stir, and enjoy!
3. Vegan Nog
Traditional nog features raw eggs, but you can whip up a vegan version that's just as tasty! This recipe makes four cups.
- 4 cups coconut milk
- 1t each: cinnamon, ground ginger
- 1/2t each: nutmeg, cardamom
- 4 cinnamon sticks (optional)
- optional: 4oz. whiskey or dark rum
- Heat the coconut milk in a small saucepan over low heat with all of the spices, stirring constantly.
- Simmer for 5 minutes.
- If you're using booze, stir it in when you remove the nog from the heat.
- Ladle your nog into mugs, and garnish with a cinnamon stick.
4. Rice Milk Steamer
Steamed rice milk is just the thing to warm your belly before bedtime! This makes one serving.
- 1c rice milk
- 1/4t cinnamon
- 1/2t vanilla extract
- pinch of nutmeg
- Combine all of the ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Bring everything to a simmer, stirring constantly, and continue stirring as it cooks for 3 more minutes.
- Pour into a mug, garnish with extra cinnamon if you like, and enjoy!
5. Pumpkin Spice Latte
This homemade take on a latte is quick and easy! It's more like a cafe au lait, if you want to get technical. This recipe makes two mugs, so invite a friend over for coffee and a chat!
- 2c hot, strong, fair trade coffee (brewed)
- 1/2c almond milk
- pre-mixed pumpkin pie spice OR 1t cinnamon, 1/2t ground ginger, 1/4t ground allspice, 1/4t ground cloves, 1/8t ground nutmeg
- 2-3T maple syrup
- While the coffee is brewing, combine your almond milk, spices, and maple syrup in a small saucepan.
- Heat on low heat, stirring constantly, until the coffee is brewed, or around 5 minutes.
- Pour your coffee into a mug, then pour the almond milk mixture over the top.

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "Phinehas, son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My wrath from the Israelites by displaying among them his passion for Me, so that I did not wipe out the Israelite people in My passion. Say, therefore, 'I grant him My pact of friendship. It shall be for him and his descendants after him a pact of priesthood for all time, because he took impassioned action for his God, thus making expiation for the Israelites.'"
The name of the Israelite who was killed, the one who was killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri son of Salu, chieftain of a Simeonite ancestral house. The name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi daughter of Zur; he was the tribal head of an ancestral house in Midian.
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, "Assail the Midianites and defeat them–for they assailed you by the trickery they practiced against you–because of the affair of Peor and because of the affair of their kinswoman Cozbi, daughter of the Midianite chieftain, who was killed at the time of the plague on account of Peor."
When the plague was over, the Lord said to Moses and to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, "Take a census of the whole Israelite community from the age of twenty years up, by their ancestral houses, all Israelites able to bear arms." So Moses and Eleazar the priest, on the steppes of Moab, at the Jordan near Jericho, gave instructions about them, namely, those from twenty years up, as the Lord had commanded Moses. The descendants of the Israelites who came out of the land of Egypt were…

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 - When Congress passed a one-time tax break on foreign profits last fall, lawmakers said their main purpose was to encourage American companies to build new operations and hire more workers at home.
But as corporations are gearing up to bring tens of billions of dollars back to the United States this year, adding jobs is far from their highest priority. Indeed, some companies say they might end up cutting their work forces.
Hewlett-Packard, for example, which has accumulated $14 billion in foreign profits and lobbied intensively for the tax break, announced on Jan. 10 that it would continue to reduce its work force this year. That would come on top of more than 25,000 jobs that it eliminated during the previous three years.
Hewlett, like several other companies expecting to benefit from the tax break, said it had not made any final decisions about what to do with the money.
Kellogg, the cereal manufacturer, announced on Monday that it would use the new tax break to bring back about $1 billion in foreign profits. Among other things, Kellogg said it would use the money to "look at close-in acquisitions" of other companies.Continue reading the main story
And Procter & Gamble announced that it had about $10.7 billion in foreign profits that could be brought back at a fraction of the normal corporate tax rates. Though P.&G. said it had made no decisions, it would be eligible under the law to use that money to help finance its planned $57 billion takeover of Gillette.
When the law was being debated, Senator John Ensign, a Republican of Nevada and a leading sponsor of the tax provision, predicted that it would prompt a surge of new investment in the United States and lead to hundreds of thousands of new jobs.
"There is not a lot of incentive for U.S. companies to bring the money back from overseas now because of the high tax penalty," Mr. Ensign said last year. "This legislation is exactly the extra boost our economy needs."
Even if it does not lead to many new jobs, supporters of the legislation say, anything that allows American companies to allocate their funds more rationally should produce economic benefits.
By far the biggest tax windfalls will go to pharmaceutical companies. Pfizer, whose products include Viagra and the cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor, said it might bring back as much as $38 billion in foreign profits.
Four other pharmaceutical companies -- Eli Lilly, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson and Schering Plough -- announced plans in the last week to bring back as much as $37 billion among them.
But many industry analysts are skeptical that drug companies will use the money for either further expansion beyond what they were already planning or for additional hiring.
"The pharma companies are cash-rich to begin with, and they don't need any additional cash to expand their operations," said Hemant K. Shah, an industry analyst in Warren, N.J.
Far more likely, Wall Street analysts said, is that the companies will use their tax windfall to license drugs from others, take over other companies or simply shore up their balance sheets.
The tax break was part of the American Jobs Creation Act, a huge corporate tax bill that Congress passed last fall in response to pressure from the European Union to resolve a long-running trade dispute. As part of that measure, a "homeland reinvestment" provision allowed companies to bring foreign profits into the United States at a much lower tax rate.
To qualify for the one-time tax break, which essentially allows companies to pay 5.25 percent rather than 35 percent on the foreign profits, a company has to submit a "domestic reinvestment plan" that shows how it would invest the money in the United States.
Wall Street analysts estimate that American companies have piled up at least $400 billion in profits outside the United States, deferring American corporate taxes on those profits as long as they were kept abroad.
But the law and guidelines issued by the Treasury Department give companies a wide berth in defining their investment plans.
The Treasury Department said companies could use the money to acquire other companies, pay down debt, buy up patents, cover the costs of litigation or simply finance the costs of sales and marketing.
In a disappointment to some investors, however, officials ruled that companies cannot use their repatriated foreign profits to pay dividends or support stock repurchase plans.
But analysts said many companies might well use the money to indirectly finance share buybacks.
"If you use repatriated capital for something that you might have used other capital for," asked Richard Evan, a pharmaceutical analyst at Bernstein Research, "can you then use that other capital to buy back shares or pay dividends?"
Robert S. McIntyre, director of Citizens for Tax Justice, a labor-backed research group that scrutinizes corporate tax practices, argued that nothing in the law required companies to do what Congress intended.
"Money is fungible," he said. "You take it from one pot, and you put it in another."
Eli Lilly, whose products include Prozac, the antidepressant, said earlier this month that it might bring back as much as $8 billion in profits that have accumulated overseas.
Terra Fox, a spokeswoman for Lilly, said the company expected to spend about $2 billion this year on worldwide capital expenditures, up from $1.9 billion last year, and that the United States would take up a higher share of the worldwide total this year.
But Lilly also indicated that it might use the money to finance much of its standard operating expenses. "Repatriating the cash allows us to make continued significant improvements in physical assets and people without incurring additional debt," Ms. Fox said. "These actions will ultimately contribute to job creation and retention."
Many industry analysts are hoping that the big pharmaceutical companies actually avoid big new investments.
"Their costs structures right now, quite frankly, are fairly bloated," said Tony Butler, a phamaceutial analyst at Lehman Brothers. "Adding head count right now doesn't make sense to me."
Hewlett, the computer and printer manufacturer, was one of the most vocal champions of the tax break on foreign profits and has accumulated about $14.5 billion that could be eligible for repatriation. Company executives suggested last year that they wanted to use some of their foreign profits to pay down debt, which ballooned after Hewlett bought Compaq several years ago.
The Oracle Corporation, the leading maker of database software for running major businesses, has about $3 billion in foreign profits that could be brought back to the United States at a low tax rate. Analysts expect Oracle to use that money to help pay off its recent takeover of PeopleSoft, which also makes business application software, for $10.3 billion.
In the meantime, Oracle plans to consolidate the two companies, reducing its combined work force by 5,000 people, to 50,000.
Larry Ellison, Oracle's chairman, told analysts last week that the takeover of PeopleSoft would make his company a much stronger competitor against its biggest rival, SAP of Germany. "I think we're going to have a much firmer foundation to build out applications than they will," Mr. Ellison said, "because we will have a much larger base."Continue reading the main story

JPMorgan Chase & Co. is seeking to sell securities tied to new U.S. home loans without government backing in its first offering since the financial crisis that the debt helped trigger.
The deal may close this month, according to a person familiar with the discussions. Servicers of the underlying loans may include the New York-based lender, First Republic Bank and Johnson Bank, said the person, who asked not to be identified because terms aren't set.
The market for so-called non-agency mortgage securities is reviving as the Federal Reserve's $85 billion a month of bond purchases help push investors to seek potentially higher returns. As deals accelerate, Pacific Investment Management Co. is questioning the prices paid. At the same time, a weakening of contract clauses that offer protection to investors if the loans don't match their promised quality is stoking debate, said Kroll Bond Rating Agency analyst Glenn Costello.
"There's a pretty heavy dialogue going on right now between all participants in the market about what makes sense," Costello, who is based in New York, said last week in a telephone interview.
Jennifer Zuccarelli, a JPMorgan spokeswoman, declined to comment on the bank's potential transaction.
Redwood Offerings
Redwood Trust Inc. and Credit Suisse Group AG, the only non-agency issuers since the market collapsed in 2008, have also been working on deals this month. Redwood created $1.1 billion of the debt in January, after issuance tied to new loans totaled $3.5 billion in 2012, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That compares with less than $1 billion in all of 2010 and 2011.
The bonds have been backed by so-called prime jumbo loans, which are larger than allowed in government-supported programs. For Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans with the lowest costs for borrowers using 20 percent down payments, limits range from $417,000 to $625,500 in high-cost areas.
JPMorgan is telling investors its deal's terms may allow some of the so-called representations and warranties about the mortgages from originators or itself to expire after 36 months to 60 months, the person said. Such contract clauses, which can be used to force loan repurchases, have led to billions of dollars of costs for banks on debt made during the housing boom.
After Credit Suisse included so-called sunsets of 36 months on certain buyback promises in a November deal, Standard & Poor's, the only grader to rate the bonds, said in a statement that the move didn't affect its view of the debt's risks. The ratings firm cited the "exceptionally high credit quality" of the loans and that all of them had been reviewed by third-party firms before being packaged into the securities.
Skeptical View
Rivals including Fitch Ratings, which publicly called S&P's grades too high, are taking a more skeptical view. Changes such as sunset provisions and clauses that void loan-quality warranties if borrowers default after events such as job losses or illness generally should require greater so-called credit enhancement, said Rui Pereira, a managing director at Fitch.
Credit enhancement can include some bonds taking losses before others, cash reserves or payments from the underlying assets that exceed coupons on the securities created.
"Less investor-friendly provisions are something we need to take into account," Pereira said last week in a telephone interview.
'Gold Standard'
Issuers are seeking to move past a framework for representations and warranties provided by Redwood that represented a "gold standard," Kathryn Kelbaugh, a senior analyst at Moody's Investors Service, said last month during a panel discussion at a securitization conference in Las Vegas.
In Redwood's latest deal, it may sell a top-rated class as large as $561.2 million with a 2.5 percent coupon at about 102 cents on the dollar, a person familiar with that offering said today, asking not to be named because terms aren't set.
That compares with current prices of about 99 cents on the dollar for Fannie Mae-guaranteed 2.5 percent securities, according to Bloomberg data. Bonds issued in recent months by Redwood have been "insanely expensive" by comparison with Fannie Mae debt, Pimco's Scott Simon said in an interview yesterday.
"I can't believe someone would pay anywhere near where they have sold them," said Simon, the mortgage-bond head at Newport Beach, California-based Pimco, manager of the world's largest mutual fund.
The higher prices being discussed may signal bond buyers are gambling that the larger loans will remain outstanding for shorter periods if mortgage rates continue to rise, and also suggest that investors are looking past the potentially greater default risks of Redwood's securities.
Moving Costs
Wealthier homeowners may find it relatively easy to absorb the costs of moving amid higher borrowing costs, said David Land, a mortgage-bond manager at Advantus Capital Management Inc., who said he's not investing in the deal because he sees too many of the loans as having risky features. By paying premiums more than face value, bondholders would also risk being damaged by homeowner refinancing if rates drop.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has released the final rule on the Quality Payment Program as part of the regulatory requirements for the Medicare and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA). Intended to move the healthcare system away from volume-based healthcare and towards reimbursing for value-based care, the rule takes effect in 2017 and will impact all Medicare providers who accept Medicare Part B payments -- including independent providers and some hospital-based clinicians. During our five-part webinar series, HIMSS will use the first two education sessions to explore the what providers can expect as Medicare shifts to Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Advanced Alternative Payment Models (Advanced APMs). The latter sessions will provide in depth analyses of what hospital-based, independent practitioners, and tethered providers can expect from the Quality Payment Program.
**You will only need to register once for access to the webinars on November 3rd and 4th.

About Us
The College of Nursing, which resides within the College of Health, one of five academic colleges, is a dynamic academic unit.
The school has approximately 450 students in the BSN, RN/BSN, RN/MSN, MSN, and Ph.D. programs located in Hattiesburg (main campus), Long Beach (Gulf Coast campus), and Meridian. The College is fully accredited by the Commission of Collegiate Nursing Education and the Mississippi Commission on College Education.
The College of Nursing has a rich history of graduating successful practitioners of nursing. We are very proud of the graduates of our programs and the contribution they have made to the profession of nursing. The ability to provide a quality educational experience for our students exists because of our partnership with a variety of outstanding health care facilities in the Hattiesburg, Meridian and Gulf Coast regions of the state. Our faculty are committed to providing a supportive learning environment and to the success of our students. They are actively involved in scholarship, service to the university and the community, and are passionate about nurses' contribution to the health of the population. This is an exciting time to be a nurse.
In a report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it was documented that more than one million nurses will be needed on the next two years. Reports from The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and the Institute of Medicine have documented that the lack of nurses and absence of the care that they provide has negatively impacted patient outcomes. Inherent in the shortage is a need for more masters and doctorally prepared nurses to assume positions in advanced practice roles, faculty roles and leadership.
If you are interested in becoming a nurse or in advancing your education, please contact us for additional information.

UFC president Dana White has gone to bat for flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson time and time again.
Now, as "Mighty Mouse" prepares to face Chris Cariaso at UFC 177 in the co-main event next month, White is forced to go to the podium again.
Cariaso (17-5) is ranked outside of the Top-10 in the division, but the flyweights have been riddled with injuries and planned bouts. John Dodson was expected to contend for the title next, but he suffered a knee injury.
Ian McCall just competed, and other highly-rated fighters such as Joseph Benavidez and John Moraga were already given their shots.
"People are going to (expletive) about Demetrious Johnson no matter who we put him in there against," said White, during his weekly UFC Download interview. "Eventually, he'll just have to keep knocking people out left and right, and then he'll earn his respect."
Johnson (20-2-1) is also coming off a recent victory over Ali Bagautinov that pushed his UFC mark to 8-1-1. His only loss during that time came to then-bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz.

A useful thing to bear in mind about memory impairment: Memories aren't technically "lost" -- they're all still there within the brain. The problem lies first in saving them and then in accessing them. Working memory -- the so-called "scratch pad" where the brain stores immediate memories, like names and numbers and why you went into the next room, before they're filed permanently -- is the first part of the memory system impaired by dementia. But with help, many memories can continue to be added and accessed.
Try these tactics to reinforce working memory:
Simplify daily tasks. Streamline activities so there are fewer things to remember. This prevents the brain from wasting energy. For example, consider switching to an all-in-one shampoo/conditioner/body wash, rather than using three different products.
Use forced repetition. Do certain things the same way with intention, over and over. For example, encourage your loved one to sit in the same chair at each meal. Get him or her dressed in the same order every day (underwear, trousers, shirt, socks). Prepare the same breakfast each morning, in the same way.
Provide mental reminders. Before you go to bed, set out a toothbrush with toothpaste on it. When waking up, your loved one will have a ready visual cue to remind him to brush his teeth. It can work for you, too. The minute you decide you'll need an umbrella, for example, hang it on the doorknob rather than expecting that you'll remember to grab it on your way out.

I got out for a bit of fishing after work, plenty of daylight thanks to daylight savings time! I met casey on the lake and he already had some holes drilled. The ice was a foot thick but starting to get pretty dark and soft, open water will soon be here!
he got a nice sunnie right away, and soon I had one too. I was using a flier spoon with maggots. Casey was having more action on a smaller jig. He was using a powerbnoodle rod and he let me try it, i really liked it! it was as sensitive as a spring on the tip, but still had the feel you tend to lose with a spring. i know it will be on my shopping list for next winter!
a perch double!!
What is in my bucket today?

People who fish for food, and sport be damned, are called pot-fishermen. The more expert ones are called crack pot-fishermen. All other fishermen are called crackpot fishermen. This is confusing.

J.K. Rowling may have two post-Potter novels under her belt, but she isn't yet done with her most famous creation.
Rowling will make her screenwriting debut by adapting Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the 2001 book that was one of Harry Potter's textbooks, for the big screen. Authored by "Newt Scamander," a "magizoologist," Fantastic Beasts will be turned into a trilogy of "megamovies," a la Peter Jackson's The Hobbit.
Rowling spoke about the her commitment to the project in a NY Times profile of new Warner Brother chief Kevin Tsujihara.
When I say he made Fantastic Beasts happen, it isn't P.R.-speak but the literal truth. We had one dinner, a follow-up telephone call, and then I got out the rough draft that I'd thought was going to be an interesting bit of memorabilia for my kids and started rewriting!
Rowling also clarified where Fantastic Beasts fits into Potter World.
Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for 17 years, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series but an extension of the wizarding world. The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt's story will start in New York, 70 years before Harry's gets underway.
Warner Brothers made a fortune on the Harry Potter films and all the ancillary products and coming up with a way to extend the brand is something that will surely make shareholders, and fans, really happy.

KeepOne is a second brain for projects and passions - simple, intuitive and functional all in one.
(PRWEB) February 05, 2013
KeepMarklet users can easily save things like an Amazon book review, an eBay product summary, Vimeo video clips, Youtube playlists, Pinterest images, articles to read later and the likes. To discover KeepMarklet outstanding features suffice it to select part of a web page or service, and use a mouse to choose a specific zone to save. Users may experience a new quality of intuitive bookmarking simply by hovering over something or by using the scroll wheel. A chosen selection will be instantly saved in a collaborative collection on KeepOne where each will be able to comment, like and share it. Difficult to make it any easier.
People, especially who use the Internet intensively, often feel overwhelmed by information in a multi-channel world. They can no longer cope with the flow of it and miss even more important things. Due to that they need good ways of saving, organizing and sharing what they find through online channels. Using browser bookmarks, emails and other popular online services to save and share contents stay unhandy and still complicated. Thus KeepMarklet was launched to solve this problem making KeepOne service even more effective and user-friendly.
KeepOne facilitates saving in a really smart way the relevant data from the web: pictures, videos, links. The service enables collecting and organizing items about hobbies (e.g. favorite music, films, posters), work (e.g. articles to read), or school (e.g. lecture notes). Its users can create their own collections as well as search for inspiration browsing other people collections, or exploring various categories. From now, also unregistered users have the opportunity to view public content collections and people's update on KeepOne.
KeepOne is the go-to service for saving and sharing the relevant parts of any page or service available on the web. It undoubtedly offers more utilitarian capabilities like those provided by other online bookmarking/note-taking tools, like Pinterest, Delicious, or even Evernote. KeepOne makes the value proposition in a world filled with specialized social services for saving content and search engines that keep track of every page people visit for a limitless searchable history available upon demand. It aims to be a second brain for projects and passions - simple, intuitive and functional all in one.

Clare Boothe Luce liked to say that "a great man is one sentence." Presidents, in particular. The most common "one sentence" for George W. Bush (whose legacy is being reassessed as his presidential library opens) is: "He kept us safe."
Not quite right. He did not just keep us safe. He created the entire anti-terror infrastructure that continues to keep us safe.

My friends Gina and Brad have long awaited this little angel.
I have this memory of us sitting around on our sofa seven years ago when they came to meet our first born. Followed by many more memories of them loving and supporting us and our friends through all the pregnancy's and births over the years. Now, seven years later I'm thrilled that my husband and I finally got the chance to sit on their sofa and witness our dear friends being a Mother and Father to their precious little Bee. I was also fortunate to photograph & video this little threesome and let me just tell you, the love is so strong you can taste it!
So here's to Phoebe! Love you guys.

the film which is loud and proud
about not caring about logic....
what is this SPEC you speak of? because it is a SPEC you can really appreciate
before i comment on this film, i will point out firstly that i have not watch the previous film but despite this the film is self explanatory i would conclude and like a television show explains itself in great detail in the first few minutes. secondly the film with in the first 10 minutes i realised that it was making fun of itself in a blatantly obvious way and this is something a appreciated greatly. i will be watching the next movie with great anticipation, the characters overreacting and interaction with each other held no boundaries but why should it. the acting was raw, intense and experimental at times ( sometimes the jokes worked and at time they didn't but there was so much to take in that you didn't have chances to be disappointed). i review Erika Toda in the Liar Game where she seemed like a naive character but in Spec; Erika Toda is a completely different characters, she is more confident character who is ready for action.Chaiki Kuriyama did not have a big part in the movie but because it is continuous story i didn't think that this matter because the story was interesting if not beqarar at times.the over light-hearted narrative was engaging, with random moments like the grandmother with grenade which no one questions and why should they? Spec is a movie that i have wanted to watch for a while and it did not disappoint. it is unique to say the least and worth a watch.

LivingSocial launches its own Visa reward credit card
While daily deals giant Groupon deals continues to struggle with being a publicly-traded company, its biggest competitor, Amazon-backed LivingSocial, continues to try to prove that the daily deal model is viable when done right.
One of the biggest challenges in doing that is getting daily deal customers to return to the merchants that lured them in with a bargain.
Indeed, much of the criticism that has emerged around the daily deal model is that many if not most daily deal customers hop from business to business in search of the best deal. In the worst cases, this leaves some merchants with losses they can ill-afford.
Can social media accelerate the buying cycle?
The number of companies not doing anything with social media gets smaller and smaller by the day, but that doesn't mean that business has social media figured out.
Despite the increasing comfort that many companies and marketers have with social media, questions still linger about efficacy and ROI.
Groupon testing new VIP service, but will it help merchants?
Everyone loves a deal, and group buying companies like Groupon have cashed in on that in a big way.
But as a publicly traded company, keeping the momentum going is a must for Groupon, which is not only facing competition from other group buying services like Living Social, but which is also trying to keep consumers and merchants happy as daily deal fatigue sets in.
Q&A: Ritesh Patel on Saying "No" to Group Discounting and "Yes" to Social Media
Ritesh Patel is renowned as a marketer specializing in pharma. But today, we ask him about the lessons in digital marketing an up-market Indian restaurant.
Glenn Beck launches group buying site
Group buying websites, popularized in large part by Groupon and LivingSocial, is one of the hottest markets on the consumer internet right now. As a result, established businesses and entrepreneurs have flooded the space, hoping to capture a little piece of the action.
Despite the fact that online group buying is now generating billions of dollars per year in sales globally, some believe that market is overhyped and, more importantly, unsustainable.
OFT reveals Groupola's group buying scam, takes "action"
Transparency is so important in modern business. We live in an age where sketchy behaviour is not remotely tolerated, and where bad noise is quickly amplified via social media channels.
You might remember an article we wrote about Groupola last summer. The group buying site had offered iPhone 4 handsets to gleeful shoppers for the very sexy price of £99 (usually £499).
The demand was such that the website imploded and frustrated consumers took to the virtual streets of Twitter and Facebook, to complain about not being able to access the sale.
Is real-time the future of group buying?
Thanks to companies like Groupon and LivingSocial, group buying has rapidly grown into a multi-billion dollar market in just a few short years.
The reason: group buying offers both consumers and businesses a deal that's too good to pass up. For consumers, there are steep, limited-time-only discounts on products and services. For businesses, there's the promise of a flood of new customers.
Group buying and the new customer acquisition lie
Yesterday, group buying service LivingSocial, which recently raised $175m in investment from Amazon, created quite a stir when it sold more than a million $20 Amazon gift cards for $10.
Not surprisingly, the frenzied buying only prompted more discussion about the group buying market, which is already one of the hottest on the consumer internet.
But behind the buzz, are cracks in the group buying model becoming more prominent?
Is a Groupon acquisition the next phase in Google's local push?
Google wants to do business with local businesses. And for good reason: there are a lot of them out there for, and they present a largely untapped opportunity for the search giant.
Rumors are swirling that Google's push to win over local businesses will involve a multi-billion dollar acquisition of group buying leader Groupon. According to one report, Google has put a whopping $5.3bn on the table for Groupon to mull over. If such reports are accurate, it's hard to imagine that we won't soon be hearing an official acquisition announcement in the very near future.
Ebay seeks boost from social commerce
You don't need to look any further than Facebook's massive usage to realize that social networking is a mainstream phenomenon that is here to stay. And you don't have to look any further than the rapid rise of group buying websites like Groupon to realize that group commerce is going to be something a lot of entrepreneurs and companies focus in on over the coming years.
Web giant eBay hopes that it can put its own spin on both to rekindle growth in its core market.
Google targets small, local businesses with Boost
Google is a big company, and it earns most of its money with its cash cow, AdWords. But in several key markets, Google hasn't yet fully realized its potential.
One of those: small, local businesses. If there's one thing we've learned from the rise of group buying online, it's that local businesses are eager to acquire new customers, and will go to great lengths in an attempt to do so, sometimes to their own detriment.
Group buying has jumped the shark
Could Groupon be an $8bn a year business? How about a $25bn a year business? Sound crazy? It's not -- at least to a number of observers, including TechCrunch's Michael Arrington and TrialPay CEO Alex Rampell.
Group buying is already one of the hottest markets on the internet right now, and if people like Arrington and Rampell are correct, it could be one of the largest markets on the internet in short order. No wonder there are rumors about a billion-dollar acquisition of Groupon.

WASHINGTON — Who made the first move?
A conservative Muslim government minister in Indonesia admits he shook hands with First Lady Michelle Obama, but claims it wasn't his choice.
The minister, Tifatul Sembiring — who avoids physical contact with women outside of his family — said he tried to avoid shaking the first lady's hand on an official receiving line when the Obamas arrived in Jakarta, but it happened anyway.
"I tried to prevent [being touched] with my hands but Mrs. Michelle held her hands too far toward me [so] we touched," Tifatul wrote on his Twitter account after the incident.
But footage of the handshake on YouTube tells another story: The awestruck minister can be seen eagerly reaching out both of his hands to grasp the first lady's hand while flashing a huge smile.
That sight prompted a wave of sarcastic comments in the blogosphere from critics who were shocked by the unexpected glad-handing in the euphoria over the Obamas' visit.
One female journalist who said Tifatul had refused to shake her hand wrote that he would no longer be able to wiggle out of it in the future.
Tifatul, who is married with seven children and has a degree in computer engineering, has attracted attention before for some of his tweets, including one where he made a joke about AIDS.
In a land that has suffered from tsunamis and volcanoes, he has also blamed natural disasters on a lack of morality.
Once active in numerous Islamic organizations, Tifatul has proposed screening the Internet for "negative" content, but his proposal was shelved in early 2010 in the face of widespread opposition. His plan would have created a blacklist of offensive material to be monitored by a special task force.
The minister previously quoted Adolf Hitler on his Twitter page, posting "the union between two children, when both of them complete each other, this is magic — Adolf Hitler."
The arrival of the first couple is big news on the island nation, the world's fourth most populous country, which also has the largest population of Muslims.
At a state dinner yesterday, Michelle Obama wore a brown and black designer dress.
But her most vibrant display of the trip occurred while visiting Mumbai, when first lady joined in a festive dance during a Diwali celebration with Indian children, waving her arms and dancing.
She also played hopscotch and joined a drum and tambourine circle with kids.

Don't be duped by digital
Digital is here to stay. Did you know that:
78% of the US population uses the internet.
90% of physicians access medical information online.
72% of US physicians have smartphones.
81% participated in e-promotion, including in-person e-detailing.
It's clear from the statistics above that digital media use is pervasive. But while there is significant opportunity, this is not the same as having digital effectiveness.
Success in a brand marketing strategy is measured by how well your customer can understand your message and relate to it—each and every tactic should work in harmony with the overall strategy.
To achieve a truly compelling digital experience that adds value for your audience and also maximizes the performance of your tactics, you must have a cohesive strategy that delivers the right message to the right audience at the right time.
Here are three key considerations for developing a sound digital strategy:
1. Understand your target demographic. This means asking yourself questions like:
Where do HCPs and patients seek, access and obtain information?
When and where do they utilize digital services?
What media do they trust?
What media are they exposed to regularly?
It is important to learn the unwritten rules through observation of your primary audience's tendencies.
2. Design and implement a roadmap for the activities you wish to pursue. You will need to take steps to:
Understand the competitive marketplace—what your competitors are doing to differentiate themselves to determine your competitive advantage.
Leverage content across channels—get the biggest "bang for your buck."
Develop relevant content and deploy it across multiple delivery vehicles and channels such as display ads, search ads, the company website, email marketing, digital or virtual events and social networks.
Ensure that your message is consistent and that each component of a campaign gives as much information as necessary.
Make digitally informed decisions—multichannel analytics bring together customer interaction data from all channels and touchpoints, providing insights that fuel planning and promotion across channels.
Deliver the right content to the right audience at the right time—to manage the experience and not just the content. Deliver content in context to a user's need at that time for maximum impact. For example, focus on matching content to your users' position in the adoption continuum.
Stay focused on strategic objectives throughout the campaign. For example, you will have to:
- Extend the reach and frequency of messages
- Drive interaction with your brand
- Augment field efforts as needed
- Ensure you are reaching the core target of HCPs or patients
- Remember to also influence secondary targets (nurse practitioners and physician assistants, or family caregivers)
3. Monitor and analyze. Understand the impact of your efforts, validate your successes and identify opportunities to shape your strategies. To do this, you will need to develop a model for evaluating the return on your investment and capture data such as:
- Unique/repeat visitors
- Website traffic
- Assets/page views
- Dwell time
- Conversion rates for registration/sign-ups
Your digital marketing strategy should be an ever-changing, dynamic plan, with repeated research, design, and implementation phases. Whether you are pushing the boundaries of a known market or breaking ground in a new one, a cohesive digital strategy is no longer a luxury. It's an essential.
