3This jokes on you Despite its popularity, April

Fools Day is not a national holiday. Popular since the 19th century, April Fools Day is celebrated by pranksters in Canada, Australia, Brazil, the United States, and parts of Eu-rope.

References to April Fools Day can be traced back to as early as the 1500s, but informa-tion on its origins is vague and infrequent. Th e beginnings of April Fools day remain some-thing of a mystery, but many throughout history have of-fered their takes on the holiday for hoaxers. One of the more popular theories suggests that

April Fools Day sprung up aft er the French calendar reform in 1564. France moved the start of the year from the end of March to January 1, and those who continued to celebrate the new year in March were the victims of pranks. Pranksters stuck pa-per fi sh to the backs of unwit-ting victims. To this day, Pois-son dAvril, or April Fish, is the term used for April Fools Day in France.

Other cultures celebrated the new year on or around April 1, including many Romans and Hindus. Th e timing coincided with the vernal equinox. Spring oft en heralded the start of the

new year. Some have linked April Fools Day to the notionof spring fever. Th ere may be something about changing from winter to spring to serve as the catalyst of festive, lighthearted celebrations.

Today, people all around the world celebrate April Fools Day with silly pranks and attempts to convince people to believe inthings that are truly ridiculous.Unless one wants to be the vic-tim of a prank, he or she should take things said and done onApril 1 with a grain of salt. Noth-ing is what it seems on AprilFools Day, and thats part of thefun of it.

Embrace an active outdoor lifestyle Blue skies and

warm weather en-tice people to en-joy the great out-doors. For many people, few things are more enjoy-able than soaking up some rays and breathing in some fresh air.

Moderate tem-peratures help make many out-door activities that much more enjoy-able. But even if the weather isnt perfect, individu-als can make the best of the situa-tion and still get out of the house.

As the seasons of warm weather return, those itch-ing to get outside can explore these entertaining out-door activities.

HikingTh ousands of miles of hiking

trails crisscross North America. Th ese trails include rough and rugged paths blazed across natu-ral areas and long-distance trails that stretch over portions of the country. From the Appalachian Trail in the East to the Bigfoot Trail in the west, hikers and na-ture enthusiasts have plenty of trails to tread.

Hiking is a great outdoor ac-tivity in part because it can be enjoyed by people of any age and just about any fi tness level. Hik-ers can work up from relatively short and fl at trails to more in-tense vertical and varied hikes. Local parks, government pre-serves and rural areas off er plen-ty of places to walk and hike.

When hiking, its best to go in pairs. In the event anything oc-curs, such as an injury, the other hiker will be able to go for help. Hikers also should alert people at home as to their itineraries. Leave a map and plot out where

you will be, especially if hikes take you off the beaten path. Re-member to pack a portable snack and plenty of water. And when out in the sun, apply sunscreen and reapply as needed.

BikingBiking is another outdoor

activity ideal for people of all ages and athletic abilities. Once youve learned to ride a bicy-cle, that ability stays with you, whether you ride a bike each day or havent taken one for a spin in years.

Many towns and cities across the country have become much more bike-friendly in recent years, clearing space for bik-ing paths and lanes even in the busiest metropolitan areas. And mountain bikers still have plenty of trails to traverse as well.

Check that your bike is in good working order and that the chain is freshly oiled. Take your bike to a local cycling shop for a tuneup if necessary. Verify the fi t

of helmets, espe-cially on childrenwho may havegrown since themost recent cy-cling season.

Horseback rid-ing

Nature takeson an entirely dif-ferent look whenyou are atop ahorse. Horsebackriding isnt justfor country folkor cowboys, andit can be a greatworkout as well asa recreational re-treat. It takes bal-ance, strong legs and quick refl exesto stay in a saddle.

Th ose inter-ested in horsebackriding should visita stable or ridingacademy nearby.You likely do notneed to own ahorse of your own,

as riding schools and stables will have animals you can work with.

Remember to wear the rightclothing, including long pantsand boots, for riding. A hat can shade you from the overheadsun, while a helmet is adviseablefor people new to the sport or those who want added protec-tion.

Always arrive early so that you can familiarize yourself with your horse and have him or her get to know you. Approach thehorse from the front left side.Horses are prey animals and canbe skittish by nature, so a fi rm,calm greeting can reassure theanimal.

Th ese are just a few of the ma-ny outdoor activities people canenjoy when the weather warmsup. Try taking exercise routinesoutdoors, such as running ona path instead of the treadmill.Swimming, walking, gardening,and sports activities are otherfun ways to enjoy the great out-doors.

Emmy award winning composer Denise Gentilini to stage musical on Armenian

Genocide.

A three time Emmy award winning composer Denise Gen-tilini, along with singer, song-writer Lisa Nemzo, has created I Am Alive, a dramatic musical that spans a nearly 75 year love story of her grandparents, cel-ebrating the strength and resil-ience of the Armenian people.

Denise Gentilini is the granddaughter of Kourken and Malvine Handjian, My grand-father, Kourken, became an orphan at the age of eight. His father was killed when the Ar-menian genocide started in cen-tral Turkey, in 1915, where he lived with his family. Along with his surviving family, he was sent on what would become the death march of men, women and chil-dren across the Syrian desert to concentration camps.But a Turk-ish man had pity on this little boy. He rescued him and placed him in an orphanage. He never saw his family again.

My grandmother Malvine also lived in Turkey. Her father was poisoned in the genocide and because she had too many siblings for her mother to han-dle, she was given away to an-other woman to be raised by her. As surviving Armenians were deported from Turkey, both Kourken and Malvine wound up in a refugee camp in Greece where they found each other. When she was 14 and he was 19 they married, and spent nearly 75 years together, Denise Gen-tilini said, speaking to Fox 31 Denver. Gentilini says while shes known her history for decades, she chose this year to share what her family went through. In April it will be the 100th com-memoration of the Armenian Genocide, and I wanted to tell the story in a diff erent way. So

along with internationally cel-ebrated singer songwriter Lisa Nemzo, we created I Am Alive, a dramatic musical that spans a nearly 75 year love story of my grandparents, celebrating the strength and resilience of the Ar-menian

people. Th ere have been plays and movies and marches, but Ive never heard a musical. I believe music is a universal lan-guage, so even those who dont know about this time in his-tory might be interested because the music makes it accessible. Gentilini, an Emmy award win-ning composer, says I Am Alive, directed by Christy Montour-Larson, is continuation of the work shes been doing in music for years. As part of the We Are Voices project Ive composed music for Childrens Hospital on Autism, for the Iliff School of Th eology for their Courage Award for Judy Shephard and for genocide awareness. I grew up with my grandparents nearby and always knew what they lived through and handed down to us was amazing. It made me want to be an activist and do something: to be the voice for the voiceless.

Vitaliy N. Katsenelson, Denver

Vitaliy N. Katsenelson, CFA, is Chief Investment Offi cer at Investment Management As-sociates in Denver, Colo. He is the author of Th e Little Book of Sideways Markets (Wiley, De-cember 2010).

To Infinity and Beyond?

In 1986 Jeremy Grantham an investment legend and co-founder of Boston-based as-set manager GMO started to warn his fi rms clients about, and even created an investment product to protect them from what he believed would be, the eventual bursting of the Japa-nese stock bubble. We all know how that story ended: In 1990 the Japanese market crashed, stocks declined more than 70 percent from their peak, and the Japanese economy slipped into a 25-year coma.

However, before all these bad things happened, from 1986 to 1990 the Nikkei more than dou-bled. Grantham was right, but it took four years for the risk that he identifi ed to play out.

From todays perch, four years in the 80s are just four years in the 80s, but I am sure that to Grantham they seemed like dog years. In the eyes of his cli-ents and the market, Granthams credibility became inversely cor-related with the Nikkei. Every time the Nikkei set a new high, Granthams reputation set a new low.

I used to think that bull mar-kets end when every bear is mugged, skinned and reincar-nated into a bull. Now I realize that is only partially true. A lot of bears stop growling because they get exhausted or simply bored. Repeating the same warnings adding new analogies and super-latives is exhausting; its very taxing on ones creativity, espe-cially if everything youve said to date was wrong.

Once things tempo-rarily disconnect from gravity and elevate into the domain of insan-ity, adjectives start to lose their meaning. Trying to quantify expensive once stocks become ex-pensive resembles a game we played as kids. We had just discovered arithmetic and were trying to beat each others number by coming up with a larger one. Id say a thousand, a friend would say a bil-lion, and it would go on like that for a while until one of the smarter kids would say infi nity. Th at should have been the end you cannot have a number bigger than in-fi nity but invariably the game continued: Infi nity times infi nity, infi nity times infi nity plus one and so on. Th e person with the loudest voice or the most persistence won.

Now take yourself back to the mid-80s. When Japanese stocks were trad-ing at 25 times earnings, they were very expensive. A year or two later, they were at 35 times earnings and you needed a new superlative expensive times infi nity? Ill let you, dear reader, come up with adjectives for when Japanese stocks got to 40, 45, 50, fi nally peaking at 56 times earnings in 1990.

Once you identify risks in the system, as Grantham did in the 1980s, what do you do about them? Nassim Nicholas Taleb discussed this in his latest must-read book, Antifragile: Th ings Th at Gain from Disorder. He be-lieves (and I agree) that, instead of focusing on catalysts and timing, we should admit that in a complex system identifying them is very diffi cult and should direct our energy to an analysis of the system and try to protect ourselves (or benefi t) from the eventual fallout from the risks.

As with a crumbling sand pile, it would be unintelligent to attribute the collapse of a fragile bridge to the last truck that crossed it, and even more foolish to try to predict in ad-vance which truck might bring it

down, Taleb eloquently writes.As I look around, the U.S. and

world economies and their stock markets complex systems have been turned into what Ta-leb calls constrained systems through government interven-tion. He defi nes a constrained system as one that is prone to black swans rare but power-ful events. Instead of bending and bouncing back (being anti-fragile) when stuff hits the fan, they have been stiff ened and thus are liable to break catching everyone off guard and undo-ing years of stability, Taleb says. Th e longer it takes the blowup to occur, the worse the resulting harm.

Th e more that global govern-ments try to infl uence economic growth through QE and other stimuli, the more sensitive and fragile our economies become. Here is the latest shocking ex-ample of excess caused by end-less governmental stimuli: Over the past three years, China con-sumed 30 percent more cement than the U.S. did throughout the

entire 20th century, according to Vaclav Smil, author of Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization.

Before you put that fact into the Chinese miracle pile, think about this: Yes, China is a devel-oping economy, and yes, there are fi ve times as many Chinese as there are Americans. But the U.S. too was a developing economy, throughout the most of 20th century, and most of its infrastructure (including high-ways, bridges and dams) was built and in many cases rebuilt multiple times over the past 100 years. Finally, those past three years of Chinese cement con-sumption took place on top of already unprecedented overca-pacity in almost every sector of the countrys economy. Govern-ment stimuli create excesses that, at some point, will be subject to self-correction, which will be ex-tremely painful.

Stimuli also indebt govern-ments, and running large fi scal defi cits, as most developed coun-tries have, is a form of stimulus.

Low interest rates turngovernments into debtaddicts. As long as inter-est rates are low, debt pay-ments are not a problem.But as the debt pile keepsgrowing, a governmentsability to handle higherinterest payments dimin-ishes signifi cantly. Japan,which today is still suf-fering from the excessesof the 80s, is a sad ex-ample of this: Its ten- and30-year bonds yield 0.55percent and 1.7 percent,respectively; yet even atthese insanely low rates,debt payments consumealmost a quarter of Japanstax receipts. Governmentintervention has deprivedthe system of fl exibility,thus making it fragile even a small stress cantopple the system andleave it in a state of shock.

Low interest rates in-fl ate asset prices and pushotherwise conservativesavers into risky assets:stocks. In fact, the U.S.stock market lately re-minds me of someonewho was given an exces-sive amount of Novocaine

and thus his senses have gonenumb. He keeps getting pokedand cut by sharp objects, and he bleeds, but he doesnt feel any pain. However, at some point theeff ect of the medication will wear off , and this person will be in a world of hurt.

For now, the illusion of invul-nerability persists. Stock priceshave been pushed up not on great economic news but because of a lack of investment alternatives.Nevertheless, all economic news (good and bad) seems to come inshades of great these days.

To my readers: None of thetopics I have discussed aboveare new; I have just supplied fresh examples, updated frame-works and new analogies. You are probably as tired reading as I am tired writing about these topics. Now I can safely say, Iknow what dog years feel like.But my tiredness and boredomdont change the fact that de-spite the party still going on around us, this is the time to becautious things that cant goon forever dont.

Ben Bernanke: Buy One Suit, Get Three FreeLinear thinking is dangerous.

It is the easiest form of reasoning, lying on the path of least resis-tance. Th e simpler the path, the more readily people will march along it. Linear arguments are easy to make, as they require the least amount of evidence past data points with a straight line drawn through them.However, the larger the crowd that fol-lows the wrong line of reasoning, the more people pile in, and the

greater the consequences if they are proved wrong.

A lot of things in nature, and thus in investing, are not linear. A past trend may or may not per-sist into the future. Events dont happen in a vacuum; they are observed, studied and capitalized on which in the case of invest-ing may preclude a companys fu-ture from resembling its past. As I write this, I think of successful companies whose achievements

attracted competition, which then marginalized them.

Some things are inherently nonlinear, their behavior remi-niscent of a pendulums: Th e further they swing in one direc-tion, the harder theyll go in the opposite direction. It is very dan-gerous to default to linearity with such nonlinear phenomena, as the more confi dent we become in the swing (the more linearity we observe), the closer we are to

the pendulums reversing course.Price-earnings ratios oft en

follow a pendulum behavior. If you look at high-quality divi-dend-paying stocks the Coca-Colas and Procter & Gambles of the world they are now chang-ing hands at more than 20 times earnings. Th eir recent perfor-mance has driven linear thinkers to pile into them, expecting more of the same in the future. Dont! Th ese stocks were benefi ciaries

of a swing in the P/E pendulum as it went from low to averageand then to above-average levels.

Pattern recognition is an im-portant contributor to success ininvesting. Mark Twain once said that history doesnt repeat itself,but it rhymes. If you can identify a rhyme (that is, see a pattern) relat-ing to the current situation, then you can develop a framework toanalyze and forecast it. But whatif the current situation is very

diff erent if it doesnt rhyme with anything in the past? Th is is where the ability to draw parallels becomes helpful. It allows you to overlay rhymes (patterns) from other companies, industries or even fi elds. Building analogous frameworks is a cure for linear thinking; it helps us see nonlin-earity and facilitates the creation of nonlinear mental models.

Th en there is pseudolinear-ity: things that seem to be linear but are forced into linearity by extrinsic factors. Th is was a sub-topic of my presentation at the Valuex Vail investing conference in June. I drew a parallel between two entities that suddenly looked analogous: Jos. A. Bank Cloth-iers, a Hampstead, Marylandbased retailer of mens apparel, and the Federal Reserve.

Jos. A. Bank has always been a very promotional retailer. It would jack up prices, then run sales for consumers happy to be deceived a typical American retail tale. But sometime in 2008, Jos. A. Bank went promotional on steroids. You could not watch CNBC for an hour without see-ing one of its ads. Th e company started out by encouraging you to buy one suit and get one free. Th en you got two free suits. Fi-nally, it started giving away An-droid phones with suit purchas-es. For a while this past March, Jos. A. Bank off ered consumers the opportunity to buy one suit and get three free.

Th ere are several problems with the strategy: It does not em-phasize the quality of the suits or the companys great service, and the ads arent helping to build a brand but are intended just to

pimp sales at Jos. A. Bank, as if it were a grocery store with USDA choice beef on sale.

Th is brings us to the latest quarter. Jos. A. Banks same-store sales dropped 8 percent, but what really piqued my interest was this explanation by its CEO, R. Neal Black, during its earnings call in June: Since 2008, at the begin-ning of the fi nancial crisis and the recession, the overall sales picture has been one of volatility, and strong promotional activity has been consistently and eff ec-tively driving our sales increases. Th is strategy was designed with 18 to 24 months of eff ectiveness in mind, and we stuck with it for more than 60 months since as the economy remained weak. Now the strategy has become less eff ective.

What Jos. A. Bank has re-ally been doing since the fi nan-cial crisis is running its own version of quantitative easing. Th e company had a temporary strategy that was supposed to get people into its stores during the recession much like the Feds original QE, which was designed to provide liquidity in a time of crisis but the recov-ery that ensued was not to Jos. A. Banks liking. So just as the Fed implemented QE2, and then QE3 when the economy did not improve to its satisfaction, the retailer followed with more QE.

It is understandable why Jos. A. Banks management did what it did. Th e company was being responsible to its employees it didnt want to close stores or have layoff s and it had to re-port quarterly to shareholders. Th e focus shift ed from building a

long-term sustainable franchise to using short-term measures to grow earnings the next quarter and the quarter aft er that.

Th ere are many lessons that one can draw from the parallels between Jos. A. Banks behavior and the Feds handling of our economy. First, it is very hard to challenge someone who has a linear argument. Lets say that a year ago you talked to Jos. A. Banks management and raised the question of the sustainabil-ity of their advertising strategy. Th eyd have pointed to four years of success, and theyd have been right, at least up to that moment. Th ey would have had four years of data points and a bulletproof linear argument, and you would have had your common sense and little else.

Right now Ben Bernanke looks like a genius. He can show you all the data points in the recovery, but so could Jos. A. Bank, and this leads us to a sec-ond lesson: Pain is postponable, but it is cumulative. During Jos. A. Banks quarterly call, its CEO also said: Th e decline in traffi c is because existing customers are returning slightly less frequent-ly.... It makes sense when you consider the saturating eff ect of our intense promotional activity over the past several years.

With every sale Jos. A. Bank stole its future purchases, be-cause when you buy one suit and get three for free, you may not need to buy another one for a while.But there is also a snowball eff ect that you cannot ignore: Ev-ery ad chipped away at the com-panys brand. Now when you show someone that you wear

a Jos. A. Bank suit, they dont think about its quality, just that you have two or three more suits in your closet.

Th ere is a cost to our recov-ery a bloated Federal Reserve balance sheet and our addiction to low interest rates. Of course, we spread that addiction glob-ally. According to Hugh Hendry, founding partner and CIO of London-based hedge fund fi rm Eclectica Asset Management, rising U.S. bond yields have driven global yields higher. In Brazil for instance, the biggest emerging debt market, no com-pany has been able to raise debt abroad since mid-May as bor-rowing costs soared to a four-year high in June, at 7.1 percent, he wrote in a recent investment letter.

Th e Fed is betting on George Soros theory of refl exivity, in which peoples biases and actions can change the economy: Instead of the wagon being towed by the horse, the wagon, in expectation that it will be towed by the horse, starts moving on its own, there-by motivating the horse to start towing the wagon.Lower inter-est rates drive people to riskier assets, and as asset values go up, people feel confi dent and spend money, and the economy grows. But this policy puts us on very shaky ground, because refl exiv-ity cuts both ways: If asset prices start to decline, confi dence de-clines and so will the econ-omy. Now there are a lot more savers owning riskier assets than they otherwise would have, and their wealth is at risk of getting wiped out.

Th e third lesson from the par-

allels between the Fed and Jos. A. Bank: We are in the midst of a game of musical chairs, and when the music stops, no one wants to be left standing around holding risky assets. Everyoneis focused on the Feds tapering,and they are right to do so. Just as we saw with Jos. A. Bank, eco-nomic promotions cannot go onforever. With every sale the com-pany had to increase the ante,giving away more and more to get people to come into its stores. Th e Fed may continue to buy Treasuries and mortgage securi-ties, but the purchases will be less and less eff ective. And the musicmay stop on its own, without the Fed doing anything about it.

Last, pseudolinearity eventu-ally leads to high uncertainty and thus lower valuations. Put yourself in the shoes of an inves-tor analyzing Jos. A. Bank today.Before buying the stock, youd have to answer the following questions: What is the companysearnings power? How much didits promotional strategy damagethe brand? And how much in fu-ture sales did that strategy steal?

In the wake of Jos. A. Banksown fi ve-year, nonstop version of QE, it is diffi cult to answerthese questions with confi dence.Th e companys earnings poweris uncertain, and investors will be willing to pay less for a dol-lar of uncertain earnings, thusresulting in a lower P/E. At somepoint, when U.S. economic ac-tivity weakens, investors will have to answer similar questions about the U.S. and global econo-mies. And as they look for an-swers, theyll be putting a lowerP/E on U.S. stocks.

Must Cockpits Remain Deadlocked Between Safety and Security?Yijun Yu

It seems incredible that a pi-lot of a passenger airline could be locked out of the cockpit. But analysis from the cockpit voice recorder recovered from Ger-manwings fl ight 4U9525 aft er it ploughed into the Southern Alps in France has revealed that this is what happened and that one of the two pilots had been trying to get into the cockpit before the crash.

An initial explanation that the pilot at the controls was inca-pacitated, perhaps from a heart attack, has since given way to an alternative given by French investigators: that the co-pilot in the cockpit named in reports as Andreas Lubitz deliberately prevented the captain from en-tering in order to destroy the aircraft .

Following the September 11 attacks in New York in 2001, passenger aircraft cockpit doors have been reinforced in order to be made secure, and even bullet-proof.

Access to the cockpit must be locked during fl ight, preventing passengers from forcing entry

onto the fl ight deck so that pi-lots can safely fl y the aircraft and manage any situation without worrying about potential hijack-ers. For the safety of the pilots the cockpit door must open at the pilots command from the fl ight deck, for example when there is no apparent risk of ma-licious attack. Th e outside of the cockpit door is secured by a key-pad, to which the crew have the codes. But the request from the keypad to open the door must be confi rmed by the pilot who remains inside.

It has become apparent that these two aspects safety and se-curity are not always achievable at the same time. In the event of an incident like this, they even work against each other.

A trade-off between safety and security

People oft en confuse securi-ty and safety. In Chinese the two words are exactly the same. However, conceptually they are diff erent.

Security off ers protection from intentional attacks, while safety is to prevent from natural accidents. While some security

incidents can be accidental, or made to look accidental, some element of usually malicious in-tent is involved.

Th e trade-off in both security and safety risks in this context is hard because the probability of accidents can be modelled while human intention cannot. One could try to estimate the proba-bility of someone having bad in-tentions, especially pilots, but in the end its not possible to square one with the other it is to com-pare apples with oranges.

With the ultimate goal of protecting the lives of those on board, the processes by which the cockpit door is open and closed is crucial. Closing the door is not always right, even though the fl ight may be threat-ened by potential terrorists. Th at a pilot on the fl ight deck must open the door to his fellow offi -cer outside the door is not ben-efi cial if the crew remaining on the deck inside are incapacitated or unwilling to do so.

Timing and context is keyFeature interaction mani-

fests itself in the way hardware and soft ware interacts, such as

in the design of lift s, vehicles or even smart homes. In order to avoid problematic interactions priority needs to be assigned to those features that are para-mount on aircraft , this is pro-tecting the lives of passengers. Th e key to this is context and timing.

How can the electronic, ro-botic controller of the cockpit doors collaborate with the hu-man crew member desperately looking for ways to gain entry to the fl ight deck? Knocking, or even smashing down the door is not enough because potential terrorists may do the same, and so these eventualities will have been catered for in the initial de-sign.

In this case, an adaptive user interface mechanism, which has been used to simplify compli-cated soft ware systems, could enhance the usability of an oth-erwise complex security system. Mobile payment systems, such as Apple Pay, have demonstrated its possible to simplify the inter-face to otherwise complex secu-rity systems. For example, users do not need to carry credit cards

yet can still properly certify their transactions. Such time-saving elements to verify security couldbe, in such a contingency as this,a life-saving feature.

Control of the cockpit doormust be adaptive to context of the situation, providing a means to bypass the risk of a situationwhere fl ight crew are locked out of the cockpit. Had the robotic door controller understood there was a reason the pilot at the controls could not confi rmthe entrance of the pilot outside by registering a malfunction-ing ejection seat, for example, or reading dying vital signs from a heart monitor it could over-ride the security requirementsand allow the pilot to reenter the cockpit.

We need to reassess the risksand arguments around safety and security in the context of aviation, and fi nd ways of bring-ing togetherhardware, soft ware, and the fl ight crew themselves perhaps throughhealth monitor-ing devices in order to ensurethat both these demands work together, and do not become athreat in themselves.

Rings and yearbooks help students invest in good memories

High school is not only a chal-lenging time in a young students life, but also a period that can have a profound impact on a young person, as so many mem-ories are created in the years stu-dents spend in high school.

By the time their high school careers end, students typically have many mementos from their school days. Yearbooks and class rings are two such mementos, and each is a lasting symbol of school and a great way to show alumni pride.Yearbooks

Yearbooks are perhaps the most popular memento among graduates. Schools and yearbook committees go to great lengths to produce yearbooks that high-light the best of what a school has to off er. Well-received year-books are those that not only include the standard snapshots of the student body, but piece together the candid photos and stories that really paint a picture of a school and its graduating classes. From a freshman dance to a senior theater production, yearbooks include it all, serv-ing as a one-stop scrapbook of school recollections.

Sales of yearbooks may also

be put toward fundraising eff orts for the school - fueling future programs and resources for stu-dents. Yearbooks give students an accessible way to look back on their youth and shared expe-riences with other students.Class rings

Class rings are another way for students to mark their time in high school. Rings are cus-tomarily off ered for sale to the graduating class. What sets these apart from other school momen-tos is that they oft en can be cus-tomized based on the interests of the student.

Class rings can feature names, team numbers, icons that rep-resent clubs in which a student participated, and a host of other specifi c information about grad-uates. In many cases, rings in-clude the graduation year and a stone that represents the schools color. Th e size, shape and style of the ring may be predetermined by the school, or soon-to-be graduates may be permitted to design their own rings.

Some schools contract jewel-ers to provide group pricing to students. However, students can work with jewelers on their own as well. Art Carved, Jostens and Balfour are some of the well-known class ring providers, but mainstream jewelers such as Kay and Zales also off er class rings and graduation jewelry presents.

Rings can be a lasting way to show school pride. Rings some-times become heirlooms that are handed down through the generations as kids follow in the footsteps of their ancestors.

Men and women oft en cher-ish their school yearbooks and class rings from high school. Such mementos will stand the test of time and help anyone re-call their high school years.

Creative ways to display diplomas and other school awards

Graduation season is upon us, and grads every-where are lining up to receive their diplomas and degrees, which represent years of hard work and discipline. Diplomas may be simple sheets of pa-per, but those sheets of paper are symbolic of so much more. Yet too oft en diplomas end up collect-ing dust in a box somewhere instead of being dis-played in a home.

Th ere may be plenty of reasons why diplomas end up going from commencement ceremonies to shelves in the back of closets. Some just cannot fi nd a way or a place to display their diplomas without feeling as if they are boasting about their accom-plishments. Diplomas incorporated into a larger collection of items can become eye-catching com-ponents of home dcor.

Practice feng shui. Th e principles of feng shui suggest the fame area of a home is the central ar-ea along the wall opposite the front door. A pow-er area also exists in the center of the wall oppo-site the main entrance door. Such areas make ideal spots to display diplomas, awards and trophies that remind you of times of personal triumph. If anyone asks, let them know that youre dabbling in feng shui and these displays are fueling the fi re of future success in your career and life.

Create a gallery wall. Certifi cates and diplomas can be matted and framed just like any other piece of artwork. When mixed and matched with other framed pieces, they create a subtle, rather than boastful, eff ect. Th ese certifi cates will blend into home dcor and be part of a larger gallery look, providing visual interest and conversation pieces.

Establish a home offi ce. Diplomas are tailor-made for home offi ces. When hung behind a desk, diplomas can give a home offi ce a professional feel. Diplomas and other awards also can be housed on book shelves and mixed in with other symbols of academia, like ribbons, sports trophies and photos of classmates.

Design a digital display. Modest graduates may not want their diplomas in full view at all times. Awards can be scanned into a computer and turned into digital images. Include an image of your degree in a reel that includes photos from your years in academia. Th e images will rotate in a digital picture frame. Update the display from time to time to keep it interesting.

Put together a portfolio. You may want to scrapbook awards and diplomas as you would oth-er milestones in life. Purchase a sturdy binder and slip the awards into clear, protective covers. Th e binder can be stored on a bookshelf and pulled out whenever you want to revisit your years in school.

Create a shadow box. Fill a shadow box with the diploma and some other mementos from school, like newspaper clippings or prom ticket stubs. Th e entire collection will make for a nice display you can enjoy whenever you feel compelled to take a trip down memory lane.

Bring it to work. You may want to hang certain documents in your offi ce as proof of your creden-tials. A diploma can add an air of authority to the space.

Diplomas are symbolic of signifi cant accom-plishments in life. Explore the many ways to dis-play it and be proud of the hard work required to earn your diploma.

Play it safe on prom night Prom is a memorable and

enjoyable event for high school students. A chance for teenagers to insert some glamour into their lives, prom also provides an op-portunity to make lasting mem-ories with friends before high school ends and college begins.

While prom should be fun, that revelry should not come at the expense of safety. Prom night is most enjoyable when it is safe and memorable for all the right reasons, and teens and parents can take the following steps to ensure prom night goes safely.

Attend prom with trusted friends. Plan to arrive to and depart from the party together. Each friend should do their best to look out for each member of their groups well-being.

Establish an itinerary. Teens should work with their friends to plan an itinerary for prom night and share that itinerary with parents and guardians who will want to know where their kids will be before, during and aft er the prom. In addition to establishing an itinerary, accept curfews established by parents and make sure mobile phones are turned on to accept calls from parents who may need re-assurance. Choose activities that do not involve drinking or irre-sponsible behavior. Once prom has ended, enjoy a movie togeth-er as a group or play a round of mini golf. Or go for a late night meal at a nearby diner.

Choose wardrobe wisely. Long gowns and high heels can increase the risk of falls. Keep fashion a priority but also maxi-mize comfort and safety. Be sure you can walk around comfort-ably in your shoes and that your gown does not make it diffi cult to walk up and down staircases.

Do not carry large sums of money with you to prom. Its best to avoid taking a lot of cash to prom, as young ladies cant keep watchful eyes on their handbags as they cut a rug, and young men might leave their wallets in their unattended sports coats.

Do not take off erings of drinks from unsealed contain-ers, even if they look innocuous.Teens should be wary of accept-ing drinks off ered in unsealed containers, especially if thosedrinks are off ered by strangers. If a drink tastes funny, stop drink-

ing it and report it to a faculty member or chaperone.

Dont feel pressured to drink alcohol or do drugs. Th e major-ity of promgoers want to have clean fun as they listen and danceto music and share laughs withtheir friends, so students should not feel pressured to engage inrisky behavior involving drugsand alcohol. If someone is pres-suring you and/or your friends,walk away and encourage yourfriends to do the same.

Be aware of your surround-ings at night, especially whenyou leave the prom. Ask the lim-ousine driver to pick you up in awell-lit area of the parking lot so you are not vulnerable to people with ill intentions.

Do not feel pressured to en-gage in sexual behavior. Teens should never feel pressured to engage in sexual behavior. Such pressure might be especially prevalent on prom night, but students should not feel obli-gated to engage in any behavior they prefer to avoid. If pressure arises, call a parent to come pick you up immediately.

Ensure that aft er-prom par-ties will be adult-supervised and are in a safe location. Parents should chaperone any aft er par-ties to prevent teens from engag-ing in risky, unsafe behavior.

Take host laws seriously. Parentshosting an aft er-party must keep inmind that they may be responsible for the actions of their guests. Teensshould never be served alcohol, so keep careful tabs on party activitiesand have zero-tolerance for alcohol or poor behavior.

Prom night can be a great ex-perience for teens. By playing itsmart and safe, teens can enjoy a night they will remember for years to come.

Corsage dos and donts Flowers and for-

mal events go hand in hand. Both wom-en and men may wear fl owers at wed-dings, graduations and dances.

A corsage is a small bundle of fl ow-ers that is pinned to the lapel area of a womans clothing or tied around her wrist. Some people get creative and wear corsages in their hair or on their ankles.

Corsages get their name from the French bouquet de corsage, meaning a grouping of fl owers for the bodice. Initially, corsages were attached to the bodice of a dress and wearers believed the corsages helped to ward off evil spirits.

While corsage fashion may have changed, they remain incred-ibly popular today. Male prom-goers typically give their dates corsages before heading off for the festivities, and promgoers or others wearing corsages to formal events may want to consider the following corsage dos and donts.

DO order corsages at least two weeks to a month in advance so that the fl orist will have time to order the necessary fl owers. Ex-pect certain fl owers, such as or-chids and pink and white roses, to be in demand. Ordering early

ensures you get the fl owers you want.

DONT forget to talk to your date about clothing color schemes and style of dress, as corsages oft en are matched to the gown. Florists can customize the corsage based on the length, style and color of what a date is wearing.

DO ask if the gown has straps. Th is will help you decide wheth-er or not to purchase a corsage that pins near the bodice or one with a wrist strap.

DONT feel the need to match the corsage and boutonniere ex-actly. While they may feature the same fl owers, it is not necessary for them to have the same ribbon or bloom.

DO go easy on your date and let him know if you prefer a cer-tain fl ower or style of corsage. In addition, mention if you have any allergies to certain fl owers

so your corsage does not trigger an attack.

DONT be em-barrassed to discussbudget with a fl orist. If you have a certain price in mind, men-tion your budget as you look for the right corsage. Th en choose an arrangement thatfalls in your price range.

DO experimentwith handmade cor-

sages if you are handy. Amateur fl orists can try their hand at mak-ing corsages for their dates, who may be especially impressed andmoved by homemade corsages. Make a corsage from fresh or silk fl owers or create a bloom from ribbon. Th ere are plenty of tuto-rials and tips for corsage tricks.Visit a craft center for more in-spiration and materials.

DONT be shy about explor-ing the modern and trendy ideasin corsages. Corsages can be a method of self-expression, andtheres no limit to their style, sizeand placement. Tiny blooms canbe grouped together to makea corsage bracelet or a corsage ring.

DO keep corsages cool until they are used. Store them in arefrigerator to prevent the fl ow-ers from drying out prematurely. Aft erward, consider drying the corsage to save as a memento.

Should couples match at prom?

Prom season is approaching, leaving teenagers in a rush to fi nd the perfect prom looks. Prom may be the fi rst time many teens are required to wear formal attire, so the process of choosing what to wear come the big night can take time.

Guys attending the prom have a somewhat eas-ier time when choosing a prom ensemble. Unlike the rows upon rows of party dresses and gowns girls have to choose from, gentlemen typically only choose between a suit or a tuxedo. But guys also must decide if they want their jackets and ties to match their dates attire.

Matching on prom night may involve a few dif-ferent style scenarios. Some couples may wear the same hue head-to-toe, while others may go no fur-ther than matching the guys tie or vest to the girls dress. A boutonniere that mirrors the colors in a young ladys dress is another, more subtle option.

Fashion experts say there are no hard rules re-garding matching prom dates. Th e decision is entirely up to the couple. Ultimately, the couple should be on the same page when it comes to matching. Prom is a big milestone in a teens life, and what teens are wearing can go a long way to-ward determining their comfort level. Forcing one

person to wear a certain color or style can put adamper on the festivities. Couples about to choose their prom attire may want to keep the following suggestions in mind.

Matching is a relatively recent phenomenon, socouples should not feel beholden to tradition when deciding whether or not to match. Both prom par-ticipants should be comfortable with the fi nal deci-sion.

Ladies should provide their dates with an ideaof what they will be wearing, including the color. Ladies should be as specifi c as possible, including the name of the shade, as shades can vary consider-ably. Text or email a photo so the color can be seenwith the naked eye.

Men traditionally wear black and white tux-edoes and suits so they can coordinate with justabout anything the woman wears while providing a contrast that enables the young lady to stand out.A classic suit or tux can complement just about any prom gown.

Guys may want to add some subtle eff ects oreven incorporate some color theory into theirchoices. A pocket square or tie that matches the hue of a dates dress is an eff ective touch. Guys alsocan choose a complementary color or one that isopposite on the color wheel, for a nice eff ect. Forexample, if shes wearing blue, then guys can opt forgold or yellow accents.

Consider working with clothing retailers that have coordinated color palettes. Davids Bridal and Mens Wearhouse oft en use the same terms andstock similar shades so that dates can match. Otherstores may have similar arrangements.

Attire is an important part of prom. Coupleswho come to mutual decisions on what to wear and whether or not to match may feel more comfort-able and have a more enjoyable night.

Prom perfect makeup tips Prom is a milestone event

for many teenagers. Months are spent in preparation for the night of dancing, dinner and reminisc-ing with classmates and friends.

Guys and girls alike agonize over every decision, from what to wear to whom to take as a date. With so many choices to make, ladies may not give as much thought to their makeup as they do to their gowns or hair styles. But makeup is an impor-tant consideration for young la-dies on prom night.

Th e following are a few make-up tips for young ladies who want to shine come prom night.

Focus on one areaMany makeup artists prefer to

create one area of focus, such as the lips or the eyes, on the face. Someone going with bold eye colors should leave their lips relatively bland, and vice versa. Th ose who desire a smokey, lined eye should choose a muted lip shade, while a nude or shim-mery shadow will complement bold, red lips. Figure out what makes you feel fabulous and play to that strength.

If you cant decide between eyes and mouth, fi nd another feature to focus on. If youre known for your angular cheek-bones, accent them with the right blusher.

Choose colors that complement you

It can be tempting to match makeup to the dress youre wear-ing. While that approach can work for some women, it is not always the right fi t for everyone. Its much better to coordinate makeup based on your skin tone, hair color and eye color.

If there is a particular color palette that brightens up your face and makes your eyes pop, continue to use that for prom makeup and simply enhance it for extra drama.

Make makeup last through the night

Prom makeup should endure through the entire evening. Th e weather may be warm and you may spend a good deal of the night dancing, so choose for-mulas with staying power. Help products along with some key application tips. Wash and dry

your face and treat accordingly for your type of skin. If your skin produces a lot of oil, you may need to swipe your face with as-tringent. Moisturize dry skin so

makeup will not fl ake off later in the night.

Foundation primers can help makeup stick to the skin bet-ter. Translucent blotting powder can help lock in foundation and provide an adherent surface for lipstick and eye shadow. If youre choosing a bold lip look, select a product that is long-lasting and bring along your lipstick for touch-ups.

Be photo-readyMakeup that looks good in

person may not work as well for the camera. If great prom photos are your goal, consider matte fi n-ishes on makeup and skip high-shine powders. Some makeup retailers sell high-defi nition powders and products. While these certainly may enhance a look under HD cameras and are geared primarily for those on video, they may look chalky or ghostly under certain camera lights.

Do a trial run of your makeup and have someone photograph you to determine how photos will turn out, tweaking your look as necessary.

Dont fret a blemish or twoNerves and stress can con-

tribute to breakouts. A blem-ished face is not something you want on prom night, but its not the end of the world, either. Use a concealer brush to dot con-cealer on the pimple and fan out to blend it into the surrounding skin. Pat fi nishing powder on the area to lock it all in. Avoid touch-ing the area, which can negate the eff ects of the powder.

If makeup is not your forte, consider working with a makeup artist or speaking with sales per-sonnel at the makeup counter of your favorite department store for additional tips.

Remember, one of the best prom looks is a winning smile. Th ats easily achieved when hav-ing fun. Although your look may be important, the goal of prom is to have a good time and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Add some greenery to your grill Backyard barbecues may be synonymous

with burgers and hot dogs, but grillmasters neednt feel beholden to such traditional fare when fi ring up their grills. While salad and grilling might seem like strange bedfellows to many grilling enthusiasts, the following recipe for Grilled Radicchio and Brussels Spouts With Hot Bacon Dressing from Karen Adler and Judith Fertigs Th e Gardener & Th e Grill (Running Press) combines salad and grilling for a memorable, delicious and unique dish.

Grilled Radicchio and Brussels Sprouts With Hot Bacon Dressing

Serves 4Hot Bacon Dressing4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped1/2 cup apple cider vinegar3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar3 tablespoons water11/2 teaspoons sugar1 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon white pepper1/2 teaspoon celery seedRadicchio and Brussels Sprouts1 pound (about 20 sprouts) Brussels

sprouts, halved, rinsed and patted dryOlive oil, for brushing2 heads radicchio, halved, rinsed and patted dry1 red onion, cut into 1/4-inch thick slivers2 ounces crumbled cheese, such as feta, blue or

goat cheesePrepare a hot fi re on one side of your grill for

indirect cooking.For the dressing, fry the chopped bacon in a me-

dium skillet until crisp. Add the vinegars and water and heat until boiling. Lower the heat to medium and add the sugar, salt, white pepper, and celery seed, stirring well for about 2 or 3 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Set the pan aside and keep warm.

Place the Brussels sprouts in a large bowl and lightly drizzle with olive oil and toss. Place the Brussels sprouts in an oiled grill basket or grill wok. Set it on a baking tray.

Lightly brush the cut sides of the radicchio witholive oil and set on the baking tray, too, and take out to the grill.

Set the grill basket fi lled with Brussels sprouts di-rectly over the fi re. Toss the sprouts every few min-utes and grill until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 to 15 minutes, then move thebasket of sprouts to the indirect side of the grill.Place the radicchio, cut-side down, over direct heatand grill until you have good grill marks, about 4 minutes.

To serve, arrange the radicchio and Brusselssprouts on a platter. Sprinkle with the onion andspoon the Hot Bacon Dressing over all. Serve atonce.

Bring the Mediterranean into your kitchen Fresh ingredients are the hall-

mark of a Mediterranean diet, which is one reason so many people have increasingly em-braced this captivating cuisine in recent years. Rich in the use of fi sh, vegetables, fruit, cheese and olive oil, Mediterranean diets are both delicious and loaded with nutrition.

Perhaps most surprising about the Mediterranean diet is not the ingredients, but how diff erently those ingredients are used from country to country. Meals that are commonplace in Morocco might be nothing like those served in Spain, despite containing similar ingredients. Th ats great news to men and women who want to embrace the Mediterranean diet, which can provide the healthy variety of ingredients men and women are looking for.

Th ose who want a taste of Spanish tapas can try the follow-ing recipe for Pork Tenderloin With Pears and Sweet Sherry courtesy of Sophie Baimbridges Stylish Mediterranean in Min-utes (Kyle Books).

Pork Tenderloin With Pears and Sweet Sherry

Serves 4 as tapas or 2 as main course

1 pound pork tenderloin

2 tablespoons extra virgin ol-ive oil

1 small red onion2 garlic cloves1 pear, not too hard if possibleScant 1/2 cup sweet oloroso

sherryFew tablespoons chicken

broth (optional)Sea salt and freshly ground

black pepperHeat a ladled saut pan to

medium-hot. (Th e trick to pan-frying meat is the temperature of the pan. It should be hot enough to brown and seal the meat, but not so hot that you burn the bot-tom of the pan, as the sediment left adds a delicious fl avor to the fi nal sauce.)

Trim the tenderloin of any white sinew and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Add the oil to the pan and, when hot, add the pork. Cook the slices, browning

on both sides. Remove when the meat is sealed and brown, but if the slices are thicker, reduce theheat a little to cook through.

Meanwhile, chop the onion and slice the garlic.

Remove the meat to a bowland add the onion and garlic tothe pan. Cover the pan with thelid and gently cook the onion, scraping all the tasty sediment left by the meat (add a dash of water to help remove it before itburns if the pan is too hot).

While the onion is cooking, peel the pear, quarter, core andcut into thin slices. Add the pearand continue to cook for another5 minutes, covered. When theonion and pear are soft , return the meat to the pan, mixing into the onions and season with salt and pepper.

Increase the heat to medium-hot, add the sherry and cook ata brisk simmer for 2 minutes toamalgamate the fl avors. If you like your meat with a bit more sauce, you can add a few table-spoons of chicken broth or evenwater when the sauce comes to aboil.

Set aside for a few minutesthen serve as a tapas or main course.

Surprise guests with homemade cr pes

Weekend brunch hosts who want to forgo more familiar fare can spice things up with crpes, a beloved dish in France that is popular in many other areas of the globe as well. Th e following recipe for Asparagus & Ham Crpes from Lou Seibert Pappas Crpes:

Sweet & Savory Recipes for the Home Cook (Chronicle Books) is a versatile dish that can be made into a vegetarian off ering by sim-ply omitting the ham.

Asparagus & Ham CrpesMakes 8 crpes8 6- or 7-inch garbanzo fl our

or savory crpes (see below)11/2 pounds asparagus spears,

cut into 1-inch diagonal lengths1 egg1 large sweet white or red on-

ion, chopped3/4 cup ricotta cheese or natu-

ral cream cheese at room tem-perature

1/2 cup shredded Gruyre or Emmenthal cheese

3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

2 garlic cloves, minced2 tablespoons minced fresh

fl at-leaf parsley2 teaspoons minced fresh tar-

ragon or dill, or 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon or dill

2 ounces honey-baked ham orBlack Forest ham, juliennedPrepare the crpes. Preheat the

oven to 350 F. Steam the onion and asparagus in a covered con-tainer over boiling water until the asparagus is crisp-tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. In a medium bowl, beat the egg and mix in the chees-es, garlic, parsley, tarragon or dill, ham, and steamed vegetables.

Spoon 1/2 cup of the fi lling in a ribbon down the center of each crpe and roll to enclose. Arrange in a greased 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until heated through. Serve at once.

Savory CrpesMakes 16 to 18, 6- or 7-inch

crpes2 large eggs1 cup milk

1/3 cup water1 cup all-purpose fl our, prefer-

ably bleached1/4 teaspoon salt2 tablespoons butter, melted,

plus 2 or 3 tablespoons butter for coating the pan

In a blender or food processor,

blend the eggs, milk, water, fl our, salt, and the 2 tablespoons melt-ed butter for 5 seconds, or until smooth. Stir down and repeat if necessary. Or, to mix by hand, sift the fl our into a medium bowl and add the salt. Whisk the eggs until blended, mix in the milk and water and whisk this mixture into the fl our and salt; stir in the 2 tablespoons melted butter. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (2 hours is preferable) or up to 24 hours.

Gently stir the batter if it has separated. Heat a seasoned 6- or 7-inch nonstick crpe pan over medium-high heat until hot. Coat the pan lightly with but-ter, lift the pan from the heat and pour in 2 or 3 tablespoons of batter, tilting and rotating the pan to coat the surface. Cook un-til almost dry on top and lightly browned on the edges, about 1 minute. Loosen the edges with a metal spatula and fl ip the crpe over using your fi ngers or the spatula, then cook the other side for about 15 seconds, or until lightly browned. Turn the crpe out onto a clean tea towel to cool. Repeat with the remaining bat-ter, wiping the pan with butter as needed and stacking the crpes as they are cooked.

For serving immediately, cover the crpes with aluminum foil and keep them warm in a preheated 200 F oven. For serving later, wrap them in plastic wrap in quanti-ties intended for each use and slip them in a self-sealing plastic bag. Refrigerate crpes for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 2 months.

To make garbanzo fl our crpes, follow the savory crpe recipe, but replace the 1 cup all-purpose fl our with 2/3 cup all-purpose fl our and 2/3 cup garbanzo fl our.

3Medication safety tips for children and adults

Prescription and over-the-counter medications can save lives and help people of all ages manage certain conditions. When used correctly and under the guidance of a physician, medications are largely safe. Its when medicines are used off -label, shared or taken in error that reactions and injury can occur.

Th e American Academy of Pediatrics and their Healthy Children Organization warns that more than 7,000 children visit hospital emergency rooms every year for problems related to medication er-rors. Children are not the only ones in danger. Adults can make mistakes with their medications as well. For example, seniors who may be manag-ing several diff erent types of medications can in-advertently cause dangerous drug interactions by mixing the wrong pills.

Pharmacists work diligently to help prevent medi-cation errors. However, the general public can also do their part. Th e American Society of Health-System Pharmacists and the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy off er these medication safety tips.

When a new medication is prescribed, ask the doctor to explain more about it, including its intended purpose and any common side eff ects to be expected.

Make sure your doctor knows about all the med-ications you are taking, including non-prescription products, herbal remedies, dietary supplements, and vitamins. Some medications do not mix with seemingly innocent ingredients. Keep a running list of any medicines you take so you can easily and ac-curately share this information with your physician.

Question anything that you do not understand. Check the prescription for dosing information. For refi lls, make sure the refi ll information conforms to the original prescription strength.

Fill all prescriptions at the same pharmacy and

develop a rapport with the pharmacist so that po-tential drug interactions will be fl agged. Pharma-cists are well versed in medications and may be able to inform you as to the safety or risk involved in taking an over-the-counter product at the same time that you are on a prescription.

Many pills look the same. If you are confused and taking multiple medications, keep medications in the original packaging and double-check the la-bels before taking any medications.

Use the right dosing tools. A spoon from the kitchen is not accurate for measuring out a tea-spoon of medication.

If you take multiple medications, use a pillbox to keep pills organized. Th e box makes it easier to manage medications and serves as a reminder if you have or have not taken a medication on a given day.

Store medications as instructed on the label. Th e bathroom medicine cabinet may not be an ideal place to store medications, as bathrooms get damp, and that can compromise the integrity of the pills. Also, bathroom cabinets are readily accessible by all, including kids. Its better to store drugs out of sight and reach of children. Keep dangerous medi-cations locked away.

Routinely discard expired or unneeded medi-cations. Medicine take-back programs for dispos-al are a good way to remove medicines from the home and reduce the chance that others may ac-cidentally take the medicine.

Consult with a doctor before beginning or end-ing medication.

Medicines play important roles in personal health. When used correctly, medications are as-sets, but caution should always be taken to ensure safe usage and storage of any medications.

Understanding gestational diabetes

Many people are familiar with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, both of which are characterized by high blood glucose levels that can lead to additional health problems. In-sulin injections, dietary changes, exercise, and medication may be needed to correct the ratio of sugar to insulin in the body.

Another common form of dia-betes may not be as well-known as the others but can be a concern for expecting parents. Gestational diabetes, according to the Ameri-can Diabetes Association, refers to the appearance of high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. Women who have never before been diag-nosed with diabetes can experi-ence elevated sugar levels while carrying a child. A 2014 analysis by the Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention indicates the prevalence of gestational diabetes can be as high as 9 percent among

pregnant women in the United States.

While doctors are not com-pletely certain why gestational diabetes occurs, the National In-stitutes of Health notes that some doctors suspect pregnancy hor-mones produced in the placenta block naturally-occurring insulin from working eff ectively. When this occurs, glucose levels can spike. Th is problem is called in-sulin resistance, and women may need three times as much insulin at this time. Blood sugar usually re-turns to normal aft er delivery, but treatment may be necessary during pregnancy.

Certain women are at a higher risk of developing gestational dia-betes than others. Th ese include women older than 25 and those with a family history of diabetes. Excess weight or diabetes during a previous pregnancy also increases risk. Women who have delivered babies who weighed more than 9 pounds also have an elevated chance of gestational diabetes.

Although many women de-liver healthy babies while dealing with gestational diabetes, poorly controlled gestational diabetes can hurt the unborn child. Th e ADA says extra blood glucose goes through the placenta, giving the baby high blood glucose levels and causing the babys pancreas to make extra insulin to get rid of the blood glucose. Since the baby is getting more energy than it needs to grow and develop, the extra en-

ergy is stored as fat. An overweight baby may have diffi culty exiting the birth canal, and a C-section may be necessary. Newborns with very low blood glucose levels at birth due to high insulin produc-tion are at a greater risk for breath-ing problems. Some babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes develop type 2 diabetes later in life.

Gestational diabetes also can af-fect the mother, who is at greater risk for high blood pressure and preeclampsia, a serious complica-tion of pregnancy. Risk of diabetes in subsequent pregnancies or later in life also is greater among women who have had gestational diabetes.

Symptoms of gestational diabe-tes are not always noticeable. Be-cause gestational diabetes can oc-cur midway through a pregnancy, women are usually advised to take an oral glucose tolerance test be-tween the 24th and 28th week of pregnancy to screen for diabetes. If diabetes is detected, a strict diet thats low in fat and sugar will be advised. Carbohydrates should be consumed through complex grains and vegetables. If dietary changes do not work, diabetes medication or insulin therapy may be prescribed.

Women concerned about gesta-tional diabetes should speak with their obstetricians or midwives about their potential risk, as these medical professionals may be able to test earlier for gestational dia-betes or begin on healthcare regi-mens to help prevent high blood sugar levels.

Where to find autism resources

Th e Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention estimates that, as of 2014, autism spectrum disorder aff ects 1 in 68 children across the country. Th is new es-timate is 30 percent higher than previous reports, which may be indicative of better measuring devices, more people coming for-ward or a greater prevalence of autism across the board.

Autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, and autism are terms used interchangeably to describe a complex group of disorders that aff ect brain development. ASD may be characterized by diffi culties in social interaction, repetitive behaviors, trouble with communication, and other con-ditions of varying degrees. Th e CDC points out that almost half of children identifi ed with ASD have average or above average in-tellectual ability.

Many children identifi ed with ASD require special education services or some sort of therapy. While the widespread knowledge of ASD has made resources more available, not everyone knows where to turn when a child is fi rst diagnosed with ASD. Th e follow-ing are some resources to get any-one started on his or her journey to information and assistance.

Th e fi rst step begins with a di-agnosis. Th e American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children be screened for general development using standardized, validated tools at nine, 18 and 24 or 30 months and for ASD at 18 and 24 months or whenever a parent or provider has a concern. However, less than half (44 per-cent) of children identifi ed with ASD were evaluated for develop-mental concerns by the time they were three years old. Plus, the CDCs report Prevalence of Au-tism Spectrum Disorder among Children Aged 8 Years - Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network found most children with ASD are diag-nosed aft er age four, even though they can be diagnosed as early as age two.

Pediatricians may be the fi rst to diagnose autism. Should

something seem awry during aroutine developmental evalua-tion, a childs pediatrician may refer parents to specialists who can do more in-depth evaluationsto recognize signs of ASD. Pedia-tricians and specialists also can provide a wealth of information with regard to therapists and spe-cial education providers off ering services for children with ASD. Many experts believe that early identifi cation and therapies canbe the most powerful tools peoplehave to make a diff erence in thelives of children with autism.

Schools may also be a good resource for information on ASD. Parents can contact their local early intervention programs or school systems for free evalua-tions, aft er which parents may beput in touch with educators andtherapists who can develop planscustomized to childrens needs. Schools and parent forums also can be the ideal places to meet and confer with other parents of children with ASD. With more contacts, the network of informa-tion increases exponentially.

A variety of resources also can be found online. Th e NationalAutism Resource & Information Center has the Autism NOWCenter Local Agencies direc-tory available through their site,www.autismnow.org. Individualscan browse agencies by state and fi nd more information about pro-grams in their communities.

Autism Speaks is a premier resource that aims to off er sup-port, information and resources to families dealing with autism. Th eorganization helps people get early access to care, attend ASD eventsand even advocate for changewhere they live. Autism Speaks al-so has an Autism Response Team,specially trained to connect with families and off er information or answer questions. Autism Speaks Canada is the Canadian off -shoot of the organization.

ASD aff ects millions of people worldwide. Each individual withautism is unique and may require a diff erent set of resources. Fortu-nately, there are many assistanceopportunities available.
