Workers' advocates have criticized Haslam's plan, saying it would mean some campus workers would lose their jobs or benefits.

We want to reach parents who are not plugged into the system, said Zaharopol.

They provide a useful service, said Flack.

They are more likely to grow up in neighborhoods that their parents say aren't great for raising children, and their parents worry about them getting shot, beaten up or in trouble with the law.

These math circles cost nothing, or they're very cheap for students to get involved in, but you have to know about them, said Rusczyk.

There is no best parenting style or philosophy, researchers say, and across income groups, 92% of parents say they are doing a good job at raising their children.

There are huge clusters of organic waste they can feed on, said Flack.

The state's facilities management project team is still in the process of developing its business justification and expects to have that completed and available to the public at the end of February, Martin said.

The retail giant said the poor financial performance this year has pushed it to begin implementing $400 million in cost-cutting measures.

The reasoning behind this saying is that low oil prices discourage investment in new production capacity, eventually shifting the oil supply curve backward and bringing prices back up as existing oil fields—which can be tapped at relatively low marginal cost—are depleted.

The company had previously announced the planned closures, but had not said which locations would be affected.

The challenge is if certain types of people are doing something, it's difficult for other people to break into it, said Po-Shen Loh, the head coach of last year's winning U.S.Math Olympiad team.

The birds can easily eat pieces of plastic or rubber hands and they can die, said Flack.

Tennessee's technical and community colleges will not outsource ( ' , 外包) management of their facilities to a private company, a decision one leader said was bolstered by an analysis of spending at each campus.

Some communities have agreed to share online—geneticists, for example, post DNA sequences at the GenBank repository ( ' , 库), and astronomers are accustomed to accessing images of galaxies and stars from, say, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, a telescope that has observed some 500 million objects—but these remain the exception, not the rule.

Social scientists say the differences arise in part because low-income parents have less money to spend on music class or preschool, and less flexible schedules to take children to museums or attend school events.

Participation grows through friends and networks and if you realize that's how they're growing, you can start to take action and bring in other students, he said.

Parents who are white, wealthy or college-educated say too much involvement can be bad.

Parents of advanced-math students and MathCounts coaches say the children are on the website constantly.

Of families earning more than $75,000 a year, 84% say their children have participated in organized sports over the past year, 64% have done volunteer work and 62% have taken lessons in music, dance or art.

Nonetheless, 20% of well-off parents say their children's schedules are too hectic, compared with 8% of poorer parents.

Most American parents say they are not concerned about their children's grades as long as they work hard.

Morgan said those findings—which included data from the system's 13 community colleges, 27 technical colleges and six universities—were part of the decision not to move forward with Governor Bill Haslam's proposal to privatize management of state buildings in an effort to save money.

Morgan said last week that he would retire at the end of January because of the governor's proposal to split off six universities of the Board of Regents system and create separate governing boards for each of them.

Middle-class and higher-income parents see their children as projects in need of careful cultivation, says Annette Lareau, whose groundbreaking research on the topic was published in her book Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race and Family Life.

Middle school is an important age because students have enough math capability to solve advanced problems, but they haven't really decided what they want to do with their lives, said Loh.

Martin said officials were still working to analyze the data from the Board of Regents.

Last year, the Royal Society in London said in its report that scientists need to shift away from a research culture where data is viewed as a private preserve.

Lareau said.

In an email sent Monday to college presidents in the Tennessee Board of Regents system, outgoing Chancellor John Morgan said an internal analysis showed that each campus' spending on facilities management fell well below the industry standards identified by the state.

If you look at a lot of low-income communities in the United States, there are programs that are serving them, but they're primarily centered around ‘Let's get these kids' grades up,' and not around ‘Let's get these kids access to the same kinds of opportunities as more-affluent kids,' said Daniel Zaharopol, the founder and executive director of the program.

I'd much prefer to have my data used by the maximum number of people to ask their own questions, she says.

High-earning parents are much more likely to say they live in a good neighborhood for raising children.

Haslam has said colleges would be free to opt in or out of the outsourcing plan, which has not been finalized.

Flack said it was too early to know whether the benefits of plentiful food outweighed the risks of feeding on landfills.

Early childhood experiences can be very consequential for children's long-term social, emotional and cognitive development, said Sean Reardon, professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford University.

Do all parents want the most success for their children? Absolutely, she said.

Discipline techniques vary by education level: 8% of those with a postgraduate degree say they often beat their children, compared with 22% of those with a high school degree or less.

But 50% of poor parents say it is extremely important to them that their children earn a college degree, compared with 39% of wealthier parents.

About 80% of our company's year-over-year declines in comparable sales can be attributed to shortfalls ( ' , 短缺) in cold-weather goods, said chief executive Terry Lundgren in a press release.

71% of parents with a college degree say they do it every day, compared with 33% of those with a high school diploma or less.

Research now says adding fiber to the teen diet may help lower the risk of breast cancer.

With the launch of interactive advertising, many of the dollars that went to the Internet will come back to the TV, says David Kline of Cablevision.

We are very proud of our accomplishments under the Greenlist system and we believe that we will prevail in these cases, Christopher Beard, director of public affairs for SC Johnson, said, while acknowledging that this has been an area that is difficult to navigate.

Those dangers can be addressed with farmer and consumer education, he said, while the free water and nutrients from human waste can help urban farmers in developing countries to escape poverty.

This is really about trying to cut through the confusion that consumers have when they are buying a product and that businesses have when they are selling a product, said Jon Leibowitz, chairman of the commission.

There is a large potential for wastewater agriculture to both help and hurt great numbers of urban consumers, said Liqa Raschid-Sally, who led the study.

The lawsuits said that the label was misleading because it gave the impression that the products had been certified by a third party when the certification was the company's own.

So it is saying that economic development should make for a cleaner world? Not necessarily; In the industrialised countries, environmental problems are generally related to industrialisation and technological development, it continues.

Saying that there're no easy answers sounds wise, but it's actually foolish: our unemployment crisis could be cured very quickly if we had the intellectual clarity and political will to act.

Overly strict standards often fail, James Bartram, a WHO water-health expert, said.

One boy said, I'd rather be concentrating on artistic efforts than saving the world or something.

Mr.Wilhelm said the excess of labels made it difficult for businesses and consumers to know which labels they should pay attention to.

Most teens say they enjoy the company of both parents and friends.

It's been the year of interactive television advertising for the last ten or twelve years, says Colin Dixon of a digital-media consultancy.

In the developing countries, it says, most of the environmental problems are caused by underdevelopment.

I've been looking at what self-proclaimed experts were saying about unemployment during the Great Depression; it was almost identical to what Very Serious People are saying now.

For example, only one boy said he would like to be president when he grows up.

David Mallen, associate director of the Council of Better Business Bureau, said in the last two years the organization had seen an increase in the number of claims companies were bringing against each other for false or misleading environmental product claims.

Critics say Congress will give in to lobbyists and let inefficient providers off the hook ( ' , 放过).

BrightLine iTV, which designs and sells interactive ads, says interest has surged: it expects its revenues almost to triple this year.

As I said, structural unemployment isn't a real problem, it's an excuse—a reason not to act on America's problems at a time when action is desperately needed.

Another, discussing national politics, said, I feel like one person can't do that much, and I get the impression most people don't think a group of people can do that much.

About once a week, I have a client that will bring up a new certification I've never even heard of and I'm in this industry, said Kevin Wilhelm, chief executive officer of Sustainable Business Consulting.

A surprising thing for the man who runs one of the world's most powerful economies to say? Perhaps; though in the run-up to the five-year review of the Millennium ( ' , 千年的) Goals, he is far from alone.

We need more funding and more effort to return these languages to everyday use, says Fred Nowuski of the National Museum of the American Indian, We are making progress but money needs to be spent on revitalising languages, not just documenting them.

U.N. weather expert Geoffrey Love says that is the bad news.

The way I see it, our banks now have a greater obligation to the goal of a wider recovery, he said.

Patrick Belser, an International Labour Organization specialist says declining wage rates are linked to the levels of unemployment.

Now Fred, you went to university in Canada?( ' , 9 ) A recent International Labour Organization report says the deterioration of real wages around the world calls into question the true extent of an economic recovery, especially if government rescue packages are phased out too early.

It was in a free fall, and it was a veryscary period, economist Martin Neil Baily said.

Although he says the worst is over, Baily says the banking crisis is not.

You can see that we're here to stay, said Vladimir Cheberdak, 57, chief of the Bellingshausen Station, as he sipped tea under a portrait of Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen, a high-ranking officer in the Imperial Russian Navy who explored the Antarctic coast in 1820.

Working parents say they feel stressed, tired, rushed and short on quality time with their children, friends and partners.

While we argue phasing out racial terminology ( ' , 术语 ) in the biological sciences, we also acknowledge that using race as a political or social category to study racism, although filled with lots of challenges, remains necessary given our need to understand how structural inequities and discrimination produce health disparities ( ' , 差异 ) between groups, Yudell said.

We were very surprised, he says.

We now feel equipped to grow, he said.

They didn't work anywhere and all the time – they were better able to manage their work, Moen said.

There's rising work demand coupled with the insecurity of mergers, takeovers, downsizing and other factors, Moen said.

There is not any one-hit wonder, and there will not be one for years to come, said Gary Shapiro, president and chief executive of the Consumer Technology Association ( ' , CTA).

There is an incompatibility in the rate at which these are advancing relative to the way we're digesting it, he said.

The practice of clocking in for an eight-hour workday is a leftover from the days of the Industrial Revolution, as reflected in the then-popular saying, Eight hours labor, eight hours recreation, eight hours rest.

The old days of the Antarctic being dominated by the interests and wishes of white men from European, Australasian and North American states are over, said Klaus Dodds, a politics scholar at the University of London who specialises in Antarctica.

The dialogue is changing from what is technologically possible to what is technologically meaningful, said economist Shawn Du Bravac.

The 83% of American employees who are stressed about their jobs – up from 73% just a year before – say that poor compensation and an unreasonable workload are their number-one sources of stress.

So what other variables could be used if the racial concept is thrown out? Yudell said scientists need to get more specific with their language, perhaps using terms like ancestry or population that might more precisely reflect the relationship between humans and their genes, on both the individual and population level.

Seven in 10 workers say they struggle to maintain work-life balance.

Only 13 percent of respondents said that they were interested in buying a smartwatch in 2016, for example – an increase of just one percent from the previous year despite a year of high-profile launches.

Ning Xu, 53, the chief of the Chinese base, said over tea during a fierce blizzard ( ' , 暴风雪) in late November.

Michael Yudell, a professor of public health at Drexel University in Philadelphia, said that modern genetics research is operating in a paradox: on the one hand, race is understood to be a useful tool to illuminate human genetic diversity, but on the other hand, race is also understood to be a poorly defined marker of that diversity.

Many industries are going out of infancy and becoming adolescents, Shapiro said.

It is hard to say whether it is good or bad.

It is about the flashiness and the gadgets, said John Curran, managing director of research at Accenture.

In some ways they're at greater risk of falling through the cracks, says researcher Vladimir Carli.

In an article published in the journal Science, four scholars say racial categories need to be phased out.

In November 2013, after an unnecessary round of additional consultation, health minister Jane Ellison said the government was minded to proceed after all.

In addition to many senior officials from the Federal Trade and Federal Communications commissions, this year's list of policy makers also includes appearances from Transportation Curran, the Accenture analyst, said that increased government interest in the show makes sense as technology becomes a larger part of our lives.

For example, when asked whether they would buy a new smartphone this year, only 48 percent said yes – a six-point drop from 2015.

Even among people who have bought connected devices of some kind, 37 percent said that they are going to be more cautious about using these devices and services in the future.

Essentially, I could not agree more with the authors, said Svante Pääbo, a biologist and director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany.
