French Presidential Election: Poll Shows Francois Hollande Leads Before Nicolas Sarkozy
PARIS, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Socialist frontrunner Francois Hollande and conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy pulled ahead of rivals in an opinion poll on Monday that is the second recent survey to suggest the April-May election could become a clear two-horse race. Hollande surged ahead to double his lead over Sarkozy to 8 points, and Sarkozy also gained to stand a full 10 points ahead of far-right leader Marine Le Pen and 12 points ahead of centrist Francois Bayrou, in the survey by pollster BVA. Hollande is riding high after a strong campaign launch in late January followed by an able performance in a televised debate against Sarkozy's hardball foreign minister, Alain Juppe. The poll, to be published on Tuesday in the daily Le Parisien, showed Hollande remains the clear favourite, and predicted him easily defeating Sarkozy in a second-round runoff with 58 percent to 42 percent. ...

LEE: Recognizing Positive Accomplishments
Everyone can agree that they want young people to be successful. But once children achieve their goals we may be unsure of how to reward a job well done. Often times, one of the most neglected areas when dealing with young people is the lack of recognition they receive for their accomplishments. Recognition helps youth feel good about what they have accomplished and strengthens their self-esteem. It can also provide closure and satisfaction after completing projects and activities throughout the year. Making young people feel good about their accomplishments helps them remain motivated and encourages them to strive for future successes. Through my personal experiences, I have found that everyone can benefit from some type of recognition. Think of the last time you were recognized for your personal accomplishments. It probably felt pretty good and made... Read more...
