Researchers say a new study should help ease the minds parents of premature babies when it comes to how well their children will perform in school. The report, published in JAMA Pediatrics, finds that babies born early often catch up to their peers academically. About 10 percent of babies in the U.S. are born prematurely — before 37 weeks of pregnancy, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “We know a lot about the medical and clinical outcomes [of premature babies] and we know some about short-term educational outcomes, but what we didn’t know is how the babies do once they get further out into elementary school and middle school,” the study’s first author Dr. Craig Garfield, associate professor of pediatrics and of medical social sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, told CBS News. The study found that two-thirds of babies born at only 23 or 24 weeks were ready for kindergarten on time. The researchers were surprised to see that nearly 2 percent of these extreme preemies even achieved gifted status in school.  Though extremely premature babies often scored low on standardized tests, preterm infants born 25 weeks or later performed only slightly lower than full-term infants. For babies born after 28 weeks, the differences in test scores were negligible. For the study, the researchers analyzed data on more than 1.3 million babies born...

MOUNT BENTAL, 하남콜걸 Golan Heights – As Syrian regime forces clash with rebels close to the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, this windswept plateau has become a front-row seat to Syria’s escalating civil war. Curious Israelis and foreign tourists toting binoculars have been drawn to the area to try to get a glimpse of the fighting, even as others sit in a cafe overlooking the Syrian frontier area, sipping from tiny cups of espresso and frosty glasses of beer. The thud of exploding mortar shells and smoke billowing from Syrian territory below have drawn Israelis to lookouts along the suddenly tense frontier, including this spot on Mount Bental — a former Syrian army post that Israel seized when it captured the strategic plateau from Syria in 1967. The deteriorating situation in Syria has become a mounting concern for Israel, which fears the unrest will spill over the border, and the long-quiet frontier area will become a new Islamist front against the Jewish state. Meir Elakry, an off-duty Israeli security guard who lives just 10 miles from the Syrian border, said he was afraid Syrian President Bashar Assad would become desperate and turn his guns on Israel. “I want to know what the danger is to my house,” said Elakry, clutching a pair of binoculars. “I don’t believe Assad will be quiet if he falls.” Warfare in Syria’s biggest city ragesOfficial: Israel...

Last year wasn’t the best for many businesses – including concert promoters – as a sluggish economy slowed consumer spending. Even some of the biggest names in music weren’t selling tickets. But this year, touring artists are singing a happier tune, 순창출장안마 as music fans flock once more to stages around the country. According to 2011 data, concert ticket sales are up, CBS News Correspondent Elaine Quijano reported on “The Early Show.” From January to June, the top 100 U.S. tours grossed $1.12 billion dollars – about 16 percent more than the same period last year. “The touring industry has rebounded this year; it’s been great to see,” said Billboard magazine Editorial Director Bill Werde. “The economy is slowly getting a little better. … 2010 was a little bit of a perfect storm. I think there was a lot of skittishness in the economy; people were very wary about non-essential spends.” Big names couldn’t draw big enough crowds. Even four-time Grammy winner Christina Aguilera had to cancel her entire summer tour. The slump caused management companies for major artists to rethink their strategy to try to lure fans back. Pictures: Christina Aguilera John Meglan, president and co-chief executive officer of AEG Live/Concerts West, said, “We’ve gotten smarter on the ticket pricing. Our pricing has become more dynamic. It’s having a price available for everyone.” And while high-profile acts like...
