Academy Introduces The Queen B’s

Studio B Dance Academy proudly an-nounces the formation of its elite dance company, The Queen B’s. Advanced level students of the dance academy recently auditioned for spots in the company. The students, ranging in ages from 9 to 17, learned and performed a quick combination routine and also per-formed a short individual dance. Members of the company were selected after much careful deliberation by Katie Neidich, studio owner, and two guest judg-es. Neidich acknowledges and appreciates the work and dedication of those who au-ditioned and regrets that all could not be in the company. Neidich proudly announces that members of the Queen B Dance Com-pany are: Emilee Bruno, Sailor Campbell, Grace Dalton, Dylan Giordano , Mariah Gow, Madeline Kloss, Ashley Keane, Danielle Mackey, Bri Pattison, Cadence Panol, Cailie Shanks and Lexi Walton. Members of this elite dance company

have committed to rehearsing together every Saturday and any other additional time as deemed necessary to achieve the quality of level of performance that we have come to expect from Studio B Dance Academy. The Queen B’s are also expect-ed to represent Studio B Dance Academy and be role models for current dance stu-dents. Keep an eye out for the Queen B’s at local events such as the Autumn Daze Car Show, Autumn Classic Marching Band, Pumpkinfest, Old Fashioned Christmas and local parades. The Queen B’s will also perform an ad-ditional dance number during the annual dance recital on Saturday, June 6. This year’s recital will be a tribute to Broad-way. If you are interested in having the Queen B’s perform for a community event, please contact Katie Neidich. Stu-dio B Dance Academy and the Queen B’s appreciate the local support.

Tops Friendly Markets Introducing

“Price Lock Guarantee” (WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y.) – Tops Friendly Markets, a leading full-service grocery retailer in upstate New York, northern Pennsylvania and western Ver-mont, announced today that it is introduc-ing “Tops’ Price Lock Guarantee” on hun-dreds of regularly purchased items sold at stores beginning September 7 and running through November 1. The Tops Price Lock Guarantee is one of the company’s fi rst major initiatives since it returned to local ownership less than a year ago and is part of a compre-hensive value package aimed at helping Tops’ shoppers stretch their dollars even further on every day items while continu-ing to save on popular weekly promotions. Over the eight-week program period, lower prices will be set on more than 300 items in 26 categories and will include a mix of popular national brands like Peter Pan Peanut Butter, Tide Laundry Deter-gent, Crest Toothpaste and Dove soaps, as well as Tops brands eggs, bottled wa-ter, sandwich bread and pasta. In addition, shoppers will receive double GasPoints when they purchase Price-Locked items. “For 52 years, we’ve taken pride in giv-ing our customers convenience, variety, top-notch customer service and the high-est quality products at an exceptional val-ue, said Frank Curci, Tops’ president and CEO. “We are always listening to our as-sociates and customers and we know that value is always top of mind. Part of what makes Tops Price Lock Guarantee unique is that consumers will still get excellent value on sale items every week, in addi-tion to guaranteed low prices on regularly purchased, Price-Locked products.” Curci noted that now, as a locally owned and operated company, Tops has an increased fl exibility and greater abil-ity to adapt more quickly to shoppers’ needs than in the past.

5 ¢ENTS WORTH by Grant Nichols It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist

“EXTRA - Commander-in-Chief” -by Bob Perry As the Commander-in-Chief the President is in charge of the Air Force, the Army, the Marines and the Navy. The Commander decides how weapons shall be used, where the troops shall be stationed and where ships shall be sent. With the passage of time since our constitution was created and rati-fi ed the decisions by various presidents has shown some poor decisions in ex-ecuting those functions. Arguably, the course of some actions may well have turned out differently. One case would be the Vietnam War whereby President Johnson limited the winning capability by being the selector-in-chief of weap-ons and targets. The military should be charged with winning a war without one arm tied behind their backs. As the commander-in-chief, the pres-ident needs to be active constantly in maintaining the sovereignty of the country and protecting our borders is of utmost importance. Contingency plans must be on the drawing board at all times planning responses to reported and perceived threats around the world. Actions must be initiated to quell threats abroad so as to keep the threats from reaching our shores. It is most important to main-tain strong branches of the military so as to be able to thwart any threat at any time. Underlying the ability to do so includes maintaining a strong and healthy economy as funding the mili-tary is a main part of the economic ex-penditures. It is clear that our founding

fathers did not envision that any future presidents would be void of experience and responsibility of ensuring the sov-ereignty of the new nation that they just formed and at the risk of losing eve-rything so hard fought for. In the case whereby a president was void in expe-rience as a leader and/or military expe-rience, a provision in the constitution that provided a requirement of fulfi ll-ing the commander-in-chief would be a joint responsibility of three parties. I think they might include the President, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Sen-ate. They need to exclude the House of Representatives since they are the ones charged with declaring a war in the fi rst place. Well, that is what is supposed to happen and see how that’s working out. At this point we need decisive lead-ership protects our sovereignty by pro-tecting our borders, regain economic solvency and eliminate all threats to our homeland as soon as they are per-ceived.

antee items were selected items based on consumer research of every day items that customers regularly purchase. “Tops provides the best prices, every week on a wide variety of products show-cased in our weekly ad. The introduction of Tops Price Lock Guarantee will ensure that we are offering new, longer-term low prices on items our customers regularly purchase allowing them to make Tops their one-stop shopping trip, and stretch their dollar even further,” he said. At the end of the eight-week period, Tops will assess consumer interest and gain feedback on product selection and prices to determine future Price Lock Guarantee products. The full Price Lock Guarantee list of items can be found at www.topsmarkets.com beginning Sep-tember 7.

During our search for photos this week, we discovered the newly installed “Smart Lab” at the School Street Ele-mentary School. This lab is equipped with computers, programmed to work interactively with all the students in the school, to teach them a broad range of sci-entifi c and creative information, and along with the use of special accessory packages, give them hands on experience in a broad range of subjects. The facilitator for this lab at School Street Elementary School is Mr. McGinnis who has had years of ex-perience in teaching science, math and fa-cilitating computer labs. Other photos for this issue were taken in the School Street Elementary school library and in one of its fi fth grade classrooms. Enjoy……..The Autumn Daze Car Show is sched-uled to take place this weekend, Sun-day, September 14th. Once again, we can expect lots of resurrected old cars, food, local entertainment, and a good deal of nostalgia……..For those who missed the distribution of this year’s Bradford Owl’s Football team discount cards, we have discovered that there is a big sup-ply remaining at the High School. To buy one (only $10.00), stop in at the Athlet-ics Offi ce, on the Willard Avenue side of the school. ……..Those participating in our special page promoting shopping in Bradford are as follows: Bottorf Embroi-dery & Screen Printing; Bradford VFW Post 212 & the VFW Event Center; Burns & Burns Associates, Inc.; Dexter’s Ser-vice & Collision Center; The Farm Fam-ily Restaurant; McEwens Hedlund Glass & Auto Seat Cover; The New Keystone Restaurant; Bradford & Limestone Tasta Pizza; and Timeless Treasures Gift Shop. Along with our advertisers, we recom-mend that our readers, near and far, give some extra thought to patronizing Brad-ford businesses……..Well, the drums of war are beating again, with public sen-timent in the U.S. being roused against the bad people of the world: this time, not the well used devils of North Korea, Russia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, or the Al Qaeda, but rather the newest devils of the Levant, Isis or Isil, whichever you prefer. In our opinion, more deserving of our at-tention would be the devils from within, who while pandering to our fears, are trampling on our rights as citizens. These devils are the individuals and organization that have led to our do-nothing Congress, individuals in the Administration who would foster the NSA spying ring, and those in our highest courts, who choose to address the trivia of the times, rather than isolating and moderating mechanisms in our system that have led us to this point.

She tells us that so far, she likes fi fth grade, seems to be learning a lot, and has a great teacher. (See the gallery for more photos.)

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESIdentity Thieves Target Kids as Well as Adults

-by Jason Alderman I’m sorry to report that child identity fraud is alive and well in 2014. If anything, the problem may be worsening as identity thieves devise new methods to steal – and use – children’s personal information. Most commonly, they’ll harvest kids’ dor-mant Social Security numbers (SSNs) and use them to illegally obtain jobs or open fraudulent bank and credit accounts, mort-gages or car loans. Many victims don’t realize there’s a problem until they later apply for a student loan, bank account, job or apartment and are turned down because of the poor cred-it history someone else racked up. Some families are even hounded by collection agencies or arrested because the debts or criminal activities were so extreme. There are no completely foolproof methods to protect your children’s iden-tities, but here are some precautions you can take: While it’s tempting to simply not regis-ter your kids for SSNs until they turn 18, that’s not practical in today’s world. For one thing, they’ll need one to be claimed as dependents on your taxes. You may also need SSNs for your kids to obtain medi-cal coverage or government services or to open bank accounts in their names. Because each person’s SSN is unique, it’s not uncommon for schools, healthcare providers, insurance companies, banks and others to require them as ID. Howev-er, don’t be afraid to ask: • Why do they need to use an SSN – is there a legal requirement? • Will they accept alternative identifi -cation? • What will happen if you don’t dis-close it? • What security precautions do they take with personal information? • Will they agree not to use the SSN as your child’s personal identifi cation number on correspondence, account state-ments or ID cards? Watch for these clues your child’s per-sonal data may have been compromised: • They receive preapproved credit account offers. • They receive calls or billing state-ments from collection agencies, creditors or government agencies. • You’re unable to open a bank ac-count in their name because one already exists with the same SSN. • They’re denied credit, employment, a driver’s license or college enrollment for unknown or credit-related reasons. Remember, there could be legitimate reasons why your child is receiving credit offers. For example, it could be a market-ing outreach from an affi liate of your bank or because you opened a college fund in

their name. If you strongly suspect or have evi-dence that identity theft has been commit-ted, you can: • File a police report and keep a copy as proof of the crime. • Contact the fraud units at the three major credit bureaus for instructions: Equifax (800-525-6285), Experian (888-397-3742) and TransUnion (800-680-7289). • Notify the Federal Trade Com-mission (877-438-4338), whose Identity Theft site contains information on fraud alerts, credit freezes, how to work with police and much more (www.ftc.gov). • Ask Social Security (800-772-1213) whether anyone has reported income using your child’s SSN. Search “Identity Theft” at www.ssa.gov for information. • Contact the IRS’ Identity Protection Unit (800-980-4490). The FTC recommends contacting the three credit bureaus around your child’s 16th birthday to see whether they have credit reports on fi le. (There usually wouldn’t be unless they’re an authorized user on one of your accounts.) If there is a report – and it has errors due to fraud or misuse – you’ll have time to correct it be-

fore you kid needs to use credit. Warn your kids about the dangers of revealing personal information by phone, email, or social networking. Don’t hesi-tate to monitor their accounts and install parental blocking software. And remem-ber, if they share your computer, a down-loaded virus could infect your accounts as well.

Bradford TOPS #16Article submitted

Vickie Johnson conducted the Tops Pa #16 Thursday, Sept 14th meeting at the First Presbyterian Church opening with the pledge and Happy Birthday song to all Sept birthdays.This weeks birthdays were: Donna Douthit and Jessie Skillman. There were 29 weigh-ins and a loss of 16 and a half pounds. Loser of the week was Kelly Galloway, loser in wait-ing was Penny Ackley and offi cer of the week was Sue DeValley. Barb Tor-rey was best loser of the month and the club had a loss of 26 and a quarter pounds for the month of August. Awards were given to : Vickie John-son, Barb Smead, Carol Van Sickle, Carolyn Frantz, Jessie Skillman, Elaine Harris, Barb Torrey, Silvana Reed, Liz Tanner, Bev Hannon, Donna Douthit and Trudy Puller. Virginia won the spell TOPS contest. On the sick and injury list were: Dorothy Young, Denise Soyke and Car-ol Van Sickle. The fall rally is on Saturday, Septem-ber 13 in Smethport, please be there by 8:45 and remember your camping donation. The forbidden food for the week is ice cream. Bev Hannon’s thought for the week: “The quickest way for a par-ent to get a child’s attention is to sit down and look comfortable.” Jeannie Miller : “The reason I know my youth has been spent, is my get up and go has got up and went.” Elaine Harris reports : Potassium can blunt sodium’s tendency to increase blood pressure. But you don’t have to go overboard with supplements; fruits and vegetables supply plenty of this minerals. You can skip the marathon. Studies show brisk walking (3-4 miles per hour) reduces heart disease and stroke rates in women as much as vig-orous exercise. Joannie McAndrews warned us all about what we post on Facebook and to be careful. Mini programs were given by Anna Wells, “Tips on My Plate for Older Adults”, Fran Nichols, a poem on “When I was Young and My Slippers were Red”, and Bev Hannon “Your Choice and What Will Make You Most Happy”. See you next week pounds lighter.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDENew Approach Personalizes Weight Loss

(NAPSI)—The most effective way to lose weight may not involve any di-eting at all. That’s the word from an international group of scientists, phy-sicians and researchers. They believe to be effective, a weight loss program must take epigenetics into account. They recommend a personalized health platform that integrates decades of research from scientists and medi-cal doctors to provide individualized health plans based on epigenetics. Epigenetics is the study of the impact a person’s environment and lifestyle have on his or her genetic expression. Simply put, it explains why identical twins who grow up in radically differ-ent environments and who eat and ex-ercise differently may have phenotypic variations in height, weight and more. Researchers believe this same sci-ence can be used from the outside in, to determine the type of diet and exercise a person’s one-of-a-kind genetic blue-print needs to lose weight most effec-tively, and have applied it to create a program called ph360. Using a thorough personal health assessment, the ph360 approach deter-mines the best foods for you to eat and those to avoid, as well as the style of exercise ideal for your specifi c makeup. User results have been showing losses of as many as 15 pounds in two weeks—through healthy and natural means. For Tina Bernard, a teacher who struggled to lose the baby weight after the birth of her now 4-year-old daughter, ph360 worked when nothing else did. According to Bernard, “ph360 was a lifesaver. Not only did I fi nally get rid of those pesky 20 pounds, but I stopped having problems with diges-tion and sleep for the fi rst time ever.” Seasoned dieters will be pleased to know that this loss has nothing to do with eating less—instead, it’s about eat-ing the right foods for each individual. Excess weight is shed when the body fi nally receives the specifi c nutrients it needs to balance both internally and externally. This also provides the body with newfound energy and strength. Many of those who use ph360 also report increases in energy, focus, ease and quality of sleep, mood, digestion, and skin health. According to the com-pany’s CEO Matt Riemann, this is be-cause a person’s body wants to return to its natural state of balance and the program helps him or her do just that. He contends the program amounts to a user’s manual for each person’s

American Institute for Cancer Research Q. When eating vegetarian meals, is it important to choose food combina-tions that provide complementary protein? A: You are referring to the fact that most plant foods have incomplete protein, meaning they are low in one or more of the essential amino acids that we need to form muscle and other body tissues, enzymes, hormones and more. Amino acids are the building blocks that make up protein. For example, rice and beans each supply amino acids that are low in the other. In the past, it was thought that these needed to be eaten at the same meal for the body to use the amino acids. Now studies show that the body can get needed amino acids from protein eaten throughout the same day. Different types of plant foods vary in amino acid content. That’s why it is im-portant, especially if you are eating primarily vegetarian meals, to get a variety of protein sources. For example, grains, nuts and vegetables might not be able to meet needs for the amino acid called lysine without the help of legumes (dried beans and peas). If you eat a variety of whole grains, legumes (dried beans and peas), seeds, nuts and vegetables throughout the day, and in amounts that meet your calorie needs, you should meet protein and amino acid needs without focus-ing on creating specifi c combinations in each meal.

The Nutrients They Need (NAPSI)—According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, almost 80 percent of children in America don’t get the recommended number of nutri-ent-rich fruits and vegetables in their diets. The USDA says you should fi ll at least half your child’s plate at most meals with fruits and vegetables. In addition, many parents say it’s a good idea to give kids vitamin supple-ments. Making that easier for parents and more fun for children are tasty new vitamins featuring the iconic Star Wars characters. These Star Wars™ brand Gummy Vitamins by NatureSmart are avail-able in three Complete Multi-Vitamin formulations, with over 10 essential vi-

tamins and minerals for health, growth and development, and an Immune Sup-port formula.* Advises Registered Nurse and CEO of HealthyWomen Beth Battaglino*, “Teach your kids healthy habits early on, and use characters and fl avors that they love, like the new Star Wars™ Gummy Vitamins.” Learn More: For further facts, visit www.Naturesmartvitamins.com

College May Cost Less Than Parents Think-And A Degree Pays OffCollege May Cost Less Than Parents Think-And A Degree Pays Off By Kris Spazafumo (NAPSI)—Parents who hope to pro-vide their children with a college edu-cation may feel overwhelmed by the cost of higher education and reports have stated that only about half those who start college graduate. But rather than giving up, they may want to in-vestigate further, because beneath the headlines lies a more complex reality. What’s more, parents who start saving early—and strategically—can amass a sizable college fund without busting the family budget. Let’s start with the benefi ts of a de-gree. Over a 40-year working lifetime, the median earnings of those with a bachelor’s degree are 65 percent more than those of high school graduates. Nor does a student have to graduate with a four-year degree to earn more. Those with an associate degree earn 27 percent more and those who attended college but didn’t fi nish earn 13 percent more. On the personal side, college graduates tend to exercise more, smoke less and are less prone to obesity. Now about the costs. While it’s cer-tainly possible to spend $250,000 to send a child to an Ivy League or compa-rable university (a fi gure often quoted in the press), that’s not the typical expe-rience. In fact, most (about 70 percent) four-year students attend public univer-sities, where tuition and fees can be sig-nifi cantly less. Here are some relevant numbers, all for 2013−14. For in-state students, the average published cost of tuition and fees nationwide at public four-year institutions was $8,893. For out-of-state students, it was $13,310. For students at public two-year colleg-es, it was $3,264. As you would expect, that number was signifi cantly higher for students at private, nonprofi t, four-year institutions: $30,094. As you can see, families have a wide range of choices when it comes to a college budget. What’s critical, howev-er, is to make time an ally. Parents who want to send their children to college should act now—by devising a game plan that might include junior colleges and public institutions; by educating themselves about grants, scholarships and loans; and most of all, by starting a regular savings plan. In that regard, it’s hard to beat 529 college savings plans. These easy-to-open accounts enable parents, grandparents, other relatives, family, friends and even the prospective student to make contributions that grow tax-free. When the student reaches col-lege age, withdrawals—when used for qualifi ed educational expenses—are free from federal income taxes and, in most cases, state taxes as well. Families that start saving early can

build substantial college funds. For ex-ample, putting away just $100 a month for 18 years could provide more than $48,000 for college expenses. Parents can start small and let their savings grow—a CollegeAmerica 529 plan can be opened for as little as $50 using an automatic monthly investment plan, or with a $250 start-up contribution. What about future costs? While it’s impossible to say what college will cost 15 years from now, the rapid increases we’ve seen appear to be moderating. Costs did rise signifi cantly over the past 15 years—43 percent at private four-year schools and 91 percent at public four-year schools—but that trend ap-pears to have peaked in the 2009−10 school year and has since subsided. The increase for the 2013−14 school year was just 1.6 percent for public four-year schools and 1.2 percent for pri-vate four-year schools—far below the comparable 8.3 percent and 6 percent increases for the 2009−10 school year. In other words, the conclusion that col-lege costs will keep escalating dramati-cally isn’t necessarily supported by the more recent evidence. Sending children to college requires commitment and discipline, from both parents and students. But higher educa-tion isn’t out of reach, if families edu-cate themselves about college costs and options, and start early and save strate-gically with a 529 plan. Anyone inter-ested in a 529 plan should contact their fi nancial advisor. Investments are not FDIC insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity, so they may lose value. Regular investing does not ensure a profi t or protect against loss. Inves-tors should consider their willingness to keep investing when share prices are

declining. Kris Spazafumo is vice president and senior product manager of the investment services wealth manage-ment group at American Funds. She’s responsible for leadership of product management of CollegeAmerica, the nation’s largest provider of 529 college savings plans. CollegeAmerica is help-ing nearly 1 million families from all 50 states pursue their goals of higher edu-cation. Note: Statistics on earnings and un-employment of college graduates are from the Georgetown University Cent-er on Education and the Workforce and the Bureau of Labor Statistics; other information is from The College Board. Amassing $48,000 over 18 years as-sumes an 8 percent average annual rate of return (compounded monthly) for investments.

Standby Generators Can Provide Safety And Comfort (NAPSI)—There’s good news for homeowners who want to protect their family and property from the damage and discomfort that can be caused by a power outage. There’s technology designed to help avert the problems that can result from a loss of electrical power. For example, installing a standby generator can help to provide peace of mind, safety and comfort by maintain-ing a continuous stream of electricity during a power outage caused by ex-treme weather or other events beyond the homeowner’s control. Unlike portable generators, standby generators are permanently attached to

a home via a fuel line and hardwired into the building’s power system or panel board. To maintain a constant state of readiness, it has the capacity to self-test weekly and notify the home-owner if there is a problem. This type of generator can be confi g-

ured to restore power to preselected cir-cuits in a home or an entire house when utility power is lost. In combination with an automatic transfer switch (ATS) or generator-ready load center, the generator will function as a completely automatic system, without the homeowner hav-ing to be there to turn on the generator. An ATS is designed to transfer power between the home’s utility line and the generator. The ATS models that Siemens has to offer are engineered with Digital Power Management (DPM) technology. This gives them the ability, for example, to cycle two different air conditioners on and off without adding additional com-ponents. Once the utility power comes back on, the generator will automatically de-tect that power is available and switch back to utility power. The system is designed to operate so seamlessly that if you were not home and power went out, you might not even know a power outage had occurred in your absence. Standby generators from Siemens are available from 8kW to 150kW models. In many cases, the cost of the generator and installation would likely offset the cost of any potential loss or damage in-curred by a homeowner during an out-age. To learn more, visit:

FAMILY FEATURES

With apps that offer comfort, convenience and security, homeowners are getting more out of their

smartphones to make their homes better, smarter places to live. Smart home apps such as those

from Nest are expected to link various home devices together to bring peace of mind, control

and even energy savings to our lives.

It seems like yesterday when smartphone technology was limited only to voice and text message communi -

cations. But today, these handheld, portable gadgets allow users to do everything from setting the thermostat

to a comfy temperature to ensuring the garage door is closed. The best part is all of these helpful functions

can be performed away from home, so homeowners can monitor their most valuable investment — even

while out of town.

Here is a guide to new technologies that exist to make homes smarter than ever before:

A comfortable nook

Brimming with framed memories and other trinkets that show your family’s unique style, you’ve likely put a lot of time and effort into making your home as comfort able as it can be. Withschedules growing more hectic by the minute, you deserve acomfortable place to relax. Beyond the basic comforts of plushfurniture or toasty bedding, technology can make your abode better. Here are some additional ways to add a touch of comfortthrough technology:

� Make temperatures just right

Imagine coming home from a trip to learn your town is experi -encing extreme weather conditions. There’s no need to worryabout how hot or cold your home will be. Special apps allow you to control the temperature settings on the thermostat fromyour smartphone or tablet, so your home’s temperature will bejust the way you like it when you arrive. These capabil ities arealso eco-friendly, allowing users to regulate the tem peraturewhile the home is unoccupied, which can mean big savings onenergy bills.

� Let a little sunlight in

Until recently, motorized window shades were a luxury only the rich and famous could enjoy — that is until smartphone tech -nology came into play. With the touch of a finger, homeownerscan now adjust their curtains and the natural light streaming into their rooms with one of several applications. These specialsystems even allow you to set a schedule for opening your shades,so you can wake up to natural light every morning.

Bringing convenience homeWith the busy daily schedules today’s familiesmust manage, everyone can use some conveni -ence from time to time. Here are some waystech nology makes life at home a little easier:

� Program favorites with ease

Have you ever misplaced your television’sremote control? Do you have a hard timeremembering to record your favorite tele -vision programs before leaving the house?Both of these problems can be solved withyour phone. By downloading an app toconnect to your smart TV, you can instantlyturn your phone into a remote control. Thisallows you to schedule your favorite showand film recordings from anywhere.

� Save time in the kitchen and beyond

Standard kitchen appliances are getting atechnological upgrade. Cooks can now savetime with apps that allow them to preheat,monitor food as it cooks and turn off theoven all from their phone. Many otherappliances, such as washers and dryers, arealso on board with connectivity. New appsallow homeowners to check laundry cyclesand receive alerts when their clothes areclean and dry.

the academic year can be filled with great anticipation and anxiety.

But there are ways to begin this new journey on the right foot with

a little preparation ahead of time.

Below are a few major aspects of college life, along with some ideas to help

you succeed in each one.

Tips for AchievingAcademic SuccessOpen your mind with these tips for achievingacademic success during college:

Don’t stress about your major

While many students are pressured into choos -ing their field of study before enrollment orvery early in their college career, most collegegraduates will admit it took some time tofigure it all out. Unless you are 100 percentcertain of your career path, go a safer route bysigning up for courses in several subjects thatinterest you. This will allow you to sampledifferent disciplines and develop passions youmay not have been introduced to during yourprevious studies.

Know your professor

Take advantage of office hours and visit witheach educator throughout the semester. Thisnot only helps build a relationship with yourteacher, it also gives you one-on-one time to go over any concepts or ideas you do notunderstand.

Follow your passions

Though your schedule likely includes manyprerequisite and general education courses, you should always allow for at least one “fun”class that lets you focus on talents, skills and subjects that truly interest you. If you have one class to look forward to, it can make all the difference when trying to balanceyour studies.

Add Some Class to Your WardrobeLooking your best gives you the confidence toexcel in other ways, too, whether in the class -room or developing your new social circle. Setyourself up for success with these style tips:

You can findthis favorite, featuring Flywire technology formore flexibility and breathability, and otherquality must-haves from sneakers to apparel atFoot Locker stores and at www.Footlocker.com.

Express yourself

During your college years, you’ll never be farfrom your trusty laptop or tablet, which makesit an ideal way to showcase your personalitywhile protecting your investment (and criticalcourse notes). These days, the sky is the limitfor stylish covers with options ranging frombasic colors and patterns and pop culture iconsto custom designs featuring your favorite photos.Just be sure to check for a proper snug fit for maxi -mum protection from scratches or other accidents.

While the start of your college career may seem intimidating, you can be confident and ready foreverything this special time has to offer by putting a few of these ideas into practice.

Score a Touchdown This Football Season (Family Features) Football season can only mean one thing - time to grab the best seat in the house, and we’re not talking about at the stadium. In fact, 77 percent of Americans think the best seat in the house is at home in front of an HDTV, according to a recent sur-vey by McIlhenny Company, maker of Tabasco brand products. Instead of heading to the stadium, keep the tail-gate at home and throw a “homegating” party. The ultimate homegate is not only about the football game, it’s about the food. No matter what’s happening on the fi eld, the spread can be the real game-changer. In fact, the survey found the following: * 78 percent of American adults think good food can make up for a bad game. * Americans spend, on average, 42 percent of the game eating or drinking. * Over half of Americans (57 per-cent) voted the grill as the most impor-tant appliance when hosting a homeg-ate. For a homegate touchdown, banish the boring and serve beer-infused chili, which is sure to please all your fam-ily, friends and football fans. For other ways to spice up game day, visit:

Four Steps To Help Your Family Eat Right (NAPSI)—Here’s food for thought: You may be able to nudge your family in the right direction toward healthful eating if you heed these four facts and hints. 1) Families that eat together may be the healthiest, according to research published in Pediatrics and ScienceDaily. Added bo-nus: Kids who eat with their families are less likely to be overweight and tend to perform better in school than their peers. 2) Need recipe ideas? In September, which is National Chicken Month, or at any time of year, you can try preparing dishes that celebrate this popular poultry that’s high in protein and low in fat. 3) Get creative at mealtime and dress up your chicken (or other healthy dishes) with dressings and sauces. A variety of salad dressings can be used as a marinade, and barbecue or hot sauces can add addi-tional fl avor to your meal. 4) Involve your kids in the prepara-tion of their own healthful meals. They’re more likely to enjoy it if they have a stake in the process. Recipe Ideas Try preparing grilled chicken quesa-dilla, chicken ranch casserole or perhaps a raspberry walnut tropical chicken salad—or you can go all the way to this “ultimate chicken” recipe:

Ultimate ChickenServes 4

4 (6-oz.) boneless skinless chicken breastsSalt and black pepper½ tsp. paprika3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided1 lg. Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced1 C. sliced celery1/3 C. sliced shallots or red onions8 oz. clean baby spinach leaves¼ C. toasted pine nuts¾ C. blue cheese salad dressing

Season chicken with salt, pepper and paprika. Heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear both sides of chicken. Continue to cook on medium heat until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. In same skillet, heat remaining olive oil and sauté apples, celery and shallots until ten-der. Gently heat blue cheese dressing in a saucepan. Do not bring to a boil. Arrange spinach on plates, top with hot vegetables, apples and chicken. Spoon warm blue cheese dressing over all and sprinkle with pine nuts. Learn More: More recipes, along with tips on healthful eating, can be found at:
