.Pediatric first aid training - Caregivers and teachers need to know what to do when a child is injured or becomes suddenly and severely ill. Most injuries that require first aid are not life-threatening - usually, first aid involves simple, common sense procedures. However, first aid can sometimes mean the difference between life and death. All caregivers and teachers should have pediatric first aid training. The PedFACTS course is designed to give caregivers and teachers the education and confidence that they need to effectively care for children.
.Developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics , PedFACTS is a new national pediatric first aid course.

Stimulate the Economy by Taxing Businesses and Investors?
Latest Tax Hike is a Bad Idea for American Jobs

Dear Carol,

Some politicians in Congress are proposing a new "tax on financial transactions" ... the last thing our recovering economy needs and another obstacle for America's job creators.

The stock transaction tax would assess a fee on the sale or purchase of any stock, raising transactions costs, forcing businesses overseas, and creating a loophole that only lawyers and lobbyists would benefit from.

Bottom line: this tax would increase the cost of doing business in America, limit opportunities for investors and sacrifice more American jobs.

Not surprisingly, this new tax is backed by Big Labor, and would impose a .25% tax on all stock trades in the misguided hope of raising $150 billion for another stimulus bill.

But this bill won't stimulate the economy -- it will do the exact opposite.


In fact, a similar transaction tax was repealed by Congress in 1966 for the depressing effect it had on the American economy.

Once repealed, costs fell and the number of Americans investing in the stock market dramatically increased -- helping markets grow and prosper.
 We'll continue to keep interested parties updated on this new threat to business.

Sincerely,


Bill Miller
Senior Vice President and National Political Director
U.S. Chamber of Commerce

PISD Youth Art Month - Would you like to give aspiring Picassos and Van Goghs a gallery for their works? What if you could display student artwork for free while attracting new customers? Pearland Independent School District is pleased to announce the first-ever Youth Art Month “art walk.” This citywide student art show will last March 6-31, 2010. We need your help. On Saturday, March 6, Pearland ISD teachers would like to display student art from all grades in lobbies and shop windows of businesses throughout Pearland. If you have an open area that is crying out for color and decoration, why not consider hosting a temporary student art display? In turn, you may attract new customers.  Students and parents will be encouraged to visit establishments such as yours that join the art walk effort. We will provide students, parents, and district patrons a map showing all participating businesses. Teachers will set up and take down the displays, with art remaining in businesses until the end of March. For more information, please contact Sam Jowers at 281-658-6841 or rojass@pearlandisd.org. Enclosed is a form you must fill out and submit to Sam Jowers by Jan. 20. Thank you for supporting Pearland ISD students! We hope your business will be one of many showing off an artsy side this March.
