2013 Chrysler 200 ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Good value in a quiet midsize sedan or convertible.
The midsize Chrysler 200 comes in sedan and convertible versions and offers a choice of two excellent engines. They are quiet underway, deliver better-than-average handling, and perform nicely when equipped with the 6-speed automatic transmission. The styling is simple, elegant and understated. Chrysler has come a long way with these cars. Its reasonable price, bevvy of standard equipment and good driving dynamics make the Chrysler 200 a solid choice among front-wheel-drive midsize cars.
For 2013, Chrysler replaces the 200 S model with an S package available on the Touring and Limited trim levels. The 2013 Chrysler 200 Touring S package upgrades with 18-inch aluminum wheels, a black finish grille, fog lamp bezels, projector fog lamps and black treatment headlamps. The 2013 Chrysler 200 Limited S package upgrades further with interior enhancements including leather-trimmed bucket seats and a perforated leather steering wheel.
The standard engine is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that makes 173 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque. A 4-speed automatic transmission is standard on the LX, but we recommend opting for the 6-speed automatic.
The Chrysler 200 Limited features a 3.6-liter V6 good for 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. A 6-speed automatic is standard. The V6 is an option on the Chrysler 200 Touring model.
Fuel economy for Chrysler 200 sedan with the four-cylinder engine is an EPA-estimated 20/31 mpg City/Highway with the 6-speed automatic (21/29 with the 4-speed automatic). Chrysler 200 convertibles with the four-cylinder rate a less impressive 18/27 mpg. With the V6, EPA estimates are 19/29 mpg City/Highway for all sedan and convertible models.
We found the Chrysler 200 offers a smooth ride, a solid feel and surprisingly tight handling. The cabin is very quiet thanks to ample sound absorption materials, an acoustic glass windshield and laminated side glass usually found in higher priced vehicles. The four-cylinder engine uses special engine mounts to reduce noise.
The interior is tasteful, with high-quality materials and supportive seats. The instrument panel's gray-on-gray graphics are pleasing, and its white accent lighting is wonderful at night, with nice ambient cockpit lighting.
Because the Chrysler 200 is smaller than many midsize cars, rear legroom suffers a bit, as does cargo space on hardtop models. Surprisingly, though, the convertible's trunk is relatively roomy, thanks to an efficient storage design for the drop-top.
Although the Chrysler 200 sedan is a perfectly capable vehicle, it's overshadowed by many models in the class that have been redesigned or refreshed in the past year or two, including the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, and Toyota Camry. Other competitors worth considering include the Chevrolet Malibu, Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata. Of all of these, the Chrysler 200 has the most old-school feel. Convertible competitors are less plentiful. The Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro are more performance-oriented. The Volkswagen Eos is pricier, but features a retractable hardtop.
The Chrysler 200 comes with a 5-year 100,000-mile powertrain warranty and is built at Chrysler's assembly plant in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
The 2013 Chrysler 200 LX ($18,995) is powered by the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. Standard equipment includes cloth upholstery, manually operated air conditioning, manually adjustable front seats with driver's lumbar support, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, cruise control, illuminated keyless entry, power door locks and windows, a, four-speaker sound system with CD player, steering wheel controls, 60/40 split folding rear seat, heated folding side-view mirrors and 17-inch steel wheels.
The Chrysler 200 Touring model ($21,995) upgrades to the 6-speed automatic transmission, automatic climate control, an eight-way power driver's seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an eight-way power driver seat, a six-speaker sound system with satellite radio and automatic headlamps. Standard wheels are 17-inch alloys, with two 18-inch wheel designs optional. Touring Convertible models ($27,100) get six-way power front seats and a power cloth top.
Options include Chrysler's Uconnect handsfree system ($395) with Bluetooth streaming audio capability, USB port and auto-dimming rearview mirror with integrated microphone. An upgraded version ($695) adds a 6.5-inch touchscreen display with DVD player and 40 GB hard drive. The Cold Weather package ($295) adds heated front seats and remote start. The S exterior package ($495) includes 18-inch aluminum polished painted wheels, black finish grille and fog lamp bezels, projector fog lamps, black treatment headlamps, black inlay Chrysler badge and S badge.
Limited sedans ($24,685) and convertibles ($32,095) are powered by the V6 engine and mated to the 6-speed automatic transmission. Standard features include leather heated front seats, a six-speaker Boston Acoustics audio system and fog lamps. The S Package for Limited sedans ($495) includes leather-trimmed bucket seats and perforated leather steering wheel in addition to the exterior enhancements found on the S package for the Touring models.
The 2013.5 Chrysler 200 S Special Edition ($28,870) features interior appointments developed with Carhartt work clothes, premium leather seats, Boston Acoustic premium sound system, perforated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and special 18-inch wheels.
Chrysler 200 convertible S models ($32,595) include everything on the Limited plus heated leather seats with S embroidery, suede seat inserts and door trim bolster, a perforated leather steering wheel, a 276-watt Boston Acoustics sound system, black headlamp surrounds and fog lamp bezels, a black grille and 18-inch painted aluminum wheels.
Mopar, Chrysler's performance brand, offers sports suspension, special induction and exhaust pieces and other parts to improve handling and performance.
Safety equipment on all models includes advanced multistage front driver and passenger air bags, supplemental front-seat mounted air bags, side curtain airbags, active head restraints, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, electronic stability control, and electronic traction control, and tire pressure monitor.
The Chrysler 200 is not a car that gathers second looks. It bears family resemblance to the Town and Country minivan, particularly noticeable in the headlamps, air intakes and front bumper. The Chrysler 200 front air dam is clean: low, thin, and horizontal. Its halogen headlights appear small from head-on, but flow around the front corners into the bulging fenders, creating a line that widens to the rear of the car. It's bold, but not fancy.
The rear deck lid looks chopped, with a chrome strip between LED taillamps and another chrome bar between the exhaust outlets that widens the look of the car. It bears a wing logo in brushed metal and blue.
The Chrysler 200 cabin is nice, with seat coverings and trim that feel soft and luxurious. The seats feel supportive and should be comfortable for long periods behind the wheel.
Rear legroom measures just 36.2 inches, which is on the short side for a midsize car. Toyota Camry and Ford Fusion offer 38.3 inches of rear legroom, by comparison, though the Chrysler edges the Lexus ES, at 35.9. The rear seat is split 60/40 and folds down for more cargo space, which is always appreciated.
The instrument panel contains the usual three round gauges, with gray-on-gray graphics that are pleasing to the eye, while its white accent lighting is wonderful at night. The three-spoke steering wheel has a thick leather-wrapped rim and padded hub with controls for the sound system and cruise setting. Armrests are soft, and door pockets roomy. Some models have two USB ports, handy for phone and laptop charging.
The Chrysler 200 cabin is one of the quietest in the segment, thanks to sound absorption materials, an acoustic glass windshield, laminated side glass usually found in higher priced vehicles, and a special engine mounting setup for the 2.4-liter engine.
Driving Impression
The standard powerplant for the Chrysler 200 is the 173-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder world engine Chrysler shares with Mitsubishi and Hyundai. With dual variable valve timing, the power is good at both low and high rpm, and its 166 foot-pounds of torque are sufficient for the demands of its owners. The engine has proven itself reliable, over the years around the world, while delivering good gas mileage.
Fuel economy is an EPA-rated 20/31 mpg City/Highway with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 6-speed automatic transmission in a Chrysler 200 Touring sedan.
In models equipped with the inline-4, we were impressed by how smooth and solid the 200 feels. Even the convertible feels like it's put together well. We noticed very little road noise, and the ride was smooth and solid. The Chrysler 200 also corners really well, with little body roll.
The 6-speed automatic transmission is seamless and not over-programmed. We strongly recommend it over the 4-speed automatic that comes standard on the base model.
The optional V6 engine makes 283 horsepower and 260 foot-pounds of torque. During our test drive we noticed some wind and tire noise at highway speeds. But this is the price you pay for more aggressive tires, and we wouldn't call it unbearable.
Using third and fourth gears on the mountain two-lanes, the V6-powered Chrysler 200 showed off its ample power and acceleration. According to Chrysler, the engine makes more than 90 percent of its peak torque from 1600 rpm all the way up to redline 6400, and our mountain driving supports that, as we had plenty of torque and acceleration coming off slow corners. The engine has a nice, powerful growl when it's working, and you can't hear it when it's not.
The V6 gives up very little to the four-cylinder in fuel mileage, with a strong EPA rating of 19/29 mpg City/Highway.
The Chrysler 200 is a midsize car that offers exceptional value. Available in sedan and convertible versions, it's smooth and quiet and feels solid. Two excellent engines are available and both get good gas mileage, aided by the sweet 6-speed automatic transmission.

hlwdjsd: hi, it's me, Jeanne from Hollywood; trying to shake things up in my mafia 12 team vanilla keeper league--I have an offer on the table that would give me Kemp and Chris B. Young for Manny, but I'm thinking of offering another team either Posada for Furcal,
Schwartz: Not a bad offer... you'd be getting a lot of speed (especially if Young starts running again) and good run production, but the AVG could hurt a little
Schwartz: As for Furcal, he's started his rehab but I'd wait 'til he's active to be safe
hlwdjsd: hmmm, my question was truncated, other possible offer Manny and Posada for Sizemore
Schwartz: That's not a bad offer either... Sizemore is a superstar despite the low AVG, although it's tough to find a good catcher... but you gotta give value to get value
Schwartz: C'mon folks send in those questions!
pfelon: Will Clint Barmes ever get back on track? Will Tulo?
Schwartz: It's reasonable to expect some rust from guys coming back from such long layoffs
Schwartz: But remember that Barmes was overachieving big-time before he got hurt, so some cooling off should be expected... conversely, Tulo should have a big hot streak at some point soon to get back to where he belongs
pfelon: Is Eric Gagne a good speculative pickup at closer, or do you think Torres locked it up for the rest of the year?
Schwartz: Two things have to happen for Gagne to close again: he has to pitch well enough to take the job and Torres has to give it up. That could happen at some point, but I would wait for Gagne to string together a few good outings first... he didn't do that even before he went on the DL.
Schwartz: FYI, it looks like Chipper Jones will be put on the DL today
calvin_c: Hey Cory, Love the commercial with you and Mike. My question is Rank these players for second half? Delmon Young, Paul Konerko, Travis Hafner and Carlos Pena. I'm in a standard 12 team, nonkeeper, mixed. Also J.Borowski or Izzy?
Schwartz: That commercial is painful to watch!
Schwartz: Those are some unappetizing choices, but since I have to pick, I'll go Konerko, Pena, Young and Hafner... Hafner is a long way from relevance
Schwartz: Borowski is the closer for now but is not good, whereas Isringhausen is pitching setup/middle but throwing fairly well... I'd guess that Izzy gets more saves the rest of the way, but it's an ugly choice
pfelon: Better fantasy second baseman the rest of the season: Kendrick or Pedroia?
Schwartz: Pedroia has almost matched already what he did last year, but is striking out more and hitting more grounders than last year
Schwartz: Kendrick hasn't hit at all since coming off the DL, and plays in a lesser lineup than Pedroia
Schwartz: So it's tough to not continue riding Pedroia, although I still like Kendrick better long-term
calvin_c: The commercial is fun, maybe you guys can do a top 5 commercials someday. Thanks.
Schwartz: Great suggestion! I will pass it on to Casey, the keeper of the suggestions list.
pfelon: Real deal or faking the funk: Jason Kubel? Russell Branyan? Nate McLouth?
Schwartz: Dan, thanks for keeping the chat going so far...
Schwartz: I think Kubel is a legit 22-25 HR source, and he could bump up the AVG... Branyan will be exposed before long just like he always is...
Schwartz: McLouth came back to earth with a thud in June... I always viewed him as a 16-18 HR type guy, and he's almost there already, so a sharp decrease in his power wouldn't surprise me, but I think he'll compensate by doing more running
cozzolino: Hey Cory, NS here....would you deal W. Taveras for Scott Baker? I have the speed to spare and need help in ERA & WHIP
Schwartz: Yes! Taveras could be serious trade bait and even if not he's a one-category player... Baker is still very HR prone but doesn't walk anyone and his K rates are improving, I like his upside
richmill: what do you think of Manny Parra in Arizona on thursday?
Schwartz: Pro: He's on a serious roll, and the D'Backs offense is slumping... Con: he's been inconsistent on the road and the D'Backs hit lefties pretty well... Still, I'd take my chances on a good arm when he's on a roll.
jkulczycki: If Longoria matches his 1st half numbers after the break, where does he rank for 3B heading into next year?
Schwartz: 3B's I take over Longoria next year, in no particular order...
Schwartz: A-Rod, Wright, Cabrera (if he still qualifies), Atkins (if in Coors), Ramirez... guys like Beltre and Encarnacion could get into the mix too. So let's call that 5th-7th rounds in 12-team non-keeper leagues.
calvin_c: Hardy or Tulo? I was thinking of dropping one to pic up Corpas, 14 team standard mixed nonkeeper. Closers are a premium. I was thinking of proposing a trade but both were recently on the Wire so not sure if anyone will give anything back until they do som
Schwartz: Corpas seems to have gotten his act together lately and Fuentes is rumored to be trade bait, so it's a good gamble. I'd probably let go of Hardy; Tulo is due for a big run.
pfelon: Glad the room filled up now- it was almost like a personal consult (I'll send some swag as payment). David Murphy isn't really going to finish near the top of the AL in RBI, is he? Right now he's tied for 6th.
Schwartz: I'm here for everyone! I bet against Murphy in a recent Roundtable and I'm sticking with it.
cozzolino: Is Wainwright worth pursuing as well or do you think the middle finger injury will make for disappointing results when he returns? Thks
Schwartz: If it's true that nothing in his finger was torn, he should come back OK after the rest. But the Cardinals have a very spotty history of providing clear and complete injury info., so there's real risk here too. But for the right price he's worth a gamble.
jkulczycki: I have Litsch & Hochevar in a 14-team pt. league, is Campillo worth dropping one of those guys for?
Schwartz: I'd gamble on Campillo over Litsch; I don't like his extreme contact style, which has produced some very ugly lines recently.
cozzolino: Other than the obvious, any SP's you would target to lower ERA and/or WHIP in the second half....thks.
Schwartz: Josh Beckett should be able to lower his ERA...
Schwartz: Jake Peavy, assuming he's healthy...
Schwartz: Chad Billingsley is still getting his stats in order after a slow start; his ERA may settle in soon but he can lower his WHIP...
Schwartz: Roy Oswalt seems to be turning things around if the adductor doesn't put him on the DL...
Schwartz: Randy Johnson can't be this bad can he?
Schwartz: A.J. Burnett is a good target too... that outta do for now. -)
ankiel4prz: What do you think about Texas' Chris Davis? Is he worth a look in a 12-team mixed?
Schwartz: He's got huge power but strikes out a ton... somewhere in the Adam Dunn/Ryan Howard mold. He's got a window of opportunity to win some meaningful playing time but the K's could sour perceptions of him. Worth a gamble, but a conservative one.
richmill: what's the plan in seattle with clement? cosidering johjima's contract. and when will they dump sexon?
Schwartz: Clement should get the bulk of the PT behind the plate if he can make better contact... his bat will determine his playing time. They should clean house, but who is tradable? Bad team and they are stuck with many of those guys.
jkulczycki: Assuming Putz heals properly, does Morrow go back to set-up guy or will he be stretched out ala Joba?
Schwartz: Morrow was originally a starter so that may be his future, but they have needs all over the place and you have to question whether or not the organization will see the big picture. With Bavasi gone, there's a better chance of that.
pfelon: Better second catcher option the rest of the way: Doumit or Clement? Clement seems to have all this potential, but he hasn't shown much production so far.
Schwartz: I think Doumit's bat is legit, and he's on a better team in a better ballpark. Clement has great upside but can't make consistent contact, at least not yet.
cozzolino: Chris Davis or Scott Baker? Chris Davis or Andre Either?
Schwartz: Davis vs. Baker is apples vs. oranges. I'd take Ethier over Davis, I think he's a better hitter and more likely to hold his playing time.
cozzolino: Would you deal BJ Upton FOR Beckett and Weeks? Other option, would you deal Fielder straight up for Johan?
Schwartz: Fielder for Johan, yes, in a second! I think Fielder is a very good hitter but the 50-HR season last year created some unrealistic expectations. Johan hasn't been great this year, and his numbers are down from past years, but I'd still like to gamble on him.
ankiel4prz: Milledge going down with the hamstring has marked the epitome of a dissapointing season from him - with a star-studded DL already, do you think that he's droppable in a 12-team, mixed, 4-keeper league?
Schwartz: I think you're underrating him... he has struggled at times and the AVG hurts, but he was on pace for a 15 HR, 60 RBI, 25 SB season, which isn't bad for a 23-year-old in his first MLB season and in a terrible lineup.
calvin_c: How do you think Thames and Votto will do in the second half of this season? Think they'll keep hitting? Are Kubel or ........Luke Scott.... better bets?
Schwartz: I rank them: Votto, Scott, Kubel, Thames. Scott and Kubel were my two "underrated" OF's in the season preview show and both have provided decent value.
richmill: POD Ryan Rowland-Smith today? just kidding.
Schwartz: Um, yeah, I'll pass. Calling him the Belgian ambassador to the UN isn't my joke but I think it's hysterical anyway.
ankiel4prz: Is there any reason to believe that the Cardinals might give Colby Rasmus significant PT in the OF after a call-up, or was that purely speculation from Mr. Sheehan and Mr. Carrol yesterday? With Barton, Ankiel, Ludwick, Schumaker, Duncan, and the ever-con
Schwartz: He's turned it on big-time in the last month and is an elite prospect. He could and should be a better player than any of those guys in short order, so if they feel they have a shot, I would expect to see him called up before much longer.
jkulczycki: I have Zimmerman & V-Mart. on the DL, which of those 2 has a better second half to try & build up to pre-season expectations?
Schwartz: Probably V-Mart but both are dealing with some pretty significant injuries. Tough break to get two such promising players and have them both get hurt.
richmill: j rollins for ellsbury and the riot, fair? keeper league
Schwartz: I would not deal Rollins for those two. Ellsbury has been getting the bat knocked out of his hands throughout June, and neither offers any power at all. You can do better for a first-rounder.
calvin_c: Thanks, another: With Pierre's injury do you see Andruw J.........ones coming back sooner? Does it matter? I seem to be stuck on these players older players with good history.
Schwartz: Jones is on rehab already so he should be back soon. It will be interesting to see if it was his health holding him back before, or if he's just fallen off the cliff.
ankiel4prz: What do you make of Zumaya picking up a SV last night? I understand that Jones had been used in the past 2, but is this more significant?
Schwartz: Jones has been worked hard lately so maybe this was just a night off. But Zumaya had serious cheese and Leyland has thrown him right back into the late innings so I wouldn't rule out this being the start of something...
mlbicon31: hey i have a question on a trade troy tula for orlando carbera
Schwartz: I'd rather have Cabrera. He doesn't have Tulo's power but in every other way I'd prefer him.
gametime78: I have Aaron Rowand on the bench, and was just wondering about dumping him for somebody on FA List. This season has been lack luster for Rowand and I been wondering when is he going to produce for this Giants team? Keep him or dump him?
Schwartz: If you think he's having a lackluster season, your expectations were probably too high. He could steall more, but otherwise, this is Aaron Rowand.
jkulczycki: Early May I traded Rollins for Cliff Lee & Kershaw, same 14-team keeper league (Rollins was iffy as keeper due to salary, Lee/Kershaw have min. salaries) bad move? Drew is my SS now.
Schwartz: It seems to be working out fine for this year, but long-term I'd still prefer Rollins unless you just couldn't afford him.
cozzolino: When Soriano returns, would you deal him for C.C.? thks.
Schwartz: Probably not. As hot as CC is, and as overrated as Soriano may be, I don't like to deal a well-rounded offensive contributor for any SP not named Johan. -)
mlbicon31: with a nice first start for darly thompson with 10k's is he good enough to get picked up
Schwartz: Daryl Thompson of the Reds? He of the 4 K's in 10 IP? I'll pass for now, thanks.
jkulczycki: on the Zumaya note...better odds of closing by the end of the year: Zumaya or Chris Perez?
Schwartz: Perez got off to a hot start but seems to have regressed, and still has Franklin and Izzy in front of him. But Leyland is tough to read and might just have been giving Jones a rest. Toss-up but I'll stick with Perez.
mlbicon31: i was offered nick blackburn,dana eveland and lugo for Mat Garza and j.j hardy
Schwartz: Pass. I'd take Garza over either of those guys and Hardy is at worst even with Lugo.
RedsFan47: I am in a 7x7 Head to Head Mixed 12 Team Keeper League. If the season ended today, the 5 keepers I would have are : Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez, Matt Holliday, Ryan Braun, and Ryan Howard. The Extra Hitting Cats are OPS and K's for hitters. Do you see a
Schwartz: Great keeper list, although Howard's struggles are a growing concern. What's the question?
mlbicon31: when magglio come off the dl would you trade for ichiro
Schwartz: If you have power and need speed, it's fair value.
RedsFan47: Sorry Corey, got cut off Do you see a significant upgrade.
Schwartz: Possibly over Howard, but the other guys are slam-dunk first-rounders... if Howard heats up see if you can get some speed for him, perhaps Rollins or Reyes?
bdhindc: What is your thoughts on French the remainder of the season?
Schwartz: French fries, french dressing, french bread?
ankiel4prz: Liriano's line last night for Triple-A Rochester: 7ip, 0r, 9k, 1bb. Any thoughts on how well his stuff will translate at the MLB level in the second half?
Schwartz: We had Will Carroll on the show yesterday and he doesn't think Liriano is really cutting loose yet, he might still not trust his own health. He's been erratic at AAA but it would seem he could at least hold his own right now in the Majors.
pfelon: Thanks for the chat Cory, much obliged. Do you think Bourn will get his average up in the second half (.274 in June seems promising), or is he just Juan Pierre without the hits? Making him... Chuckie Carr?
Schwartz: Bourn just needs to make better contact, he keeps the ball on the ground well enough. .274 sounds about right going forward.
richmill: what do you think of extra catagories K's, assists, QS and holds?
Schwartz: Batting K's? Don't like it. Don't like fielding assists either. QS and Holds are better, but Holds are situational.
bdhindc: sorry, Francouer (Frenchy)...not French....LOL
Schwartz: Oh, him! I was onboard with the notion of him as a breakout hitter this year, but the improvement in his plate discipline seems to have stagnated and he's becoming an increasingly ground-ball style hitter. The lineup should keep the RBI chances up, but we won't see more power without a turnaround in his approach.
mlbicon31: whats ur thoughts on justin upton gettin as hot he did in the beginning of the season ....or is it time to trade him
Schwartz: A very talented young player taking his lumps at the toughest level. Remember, he's only 20! Still, he might need some time back in AAA to get going again, so in a non-keeper league, it's OK to move on.
ankiel4prz: You seem to be down on Ellsbury - do you think that he'll get back in his groove, or is this the time to get off of the train and sell?
Schwartz: Joe Sheehan wrote a great piece about this on BPro today and it's tough to find fault in his reasoning: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=7739
Schwartz: Still, I think Ellsbury is a good hitter and will get going again, but pitchers have adjusted to him so now he needs to counter that
Schwartz: He could fatigue as the season progresses, but he doesn't walk many, keeps the ball down and doesn't give a lot of homers, so those facts all work in his favor.
bdhindc: What do you think Danks stats will be for 2nd half?
Schwartz: Sorry, the above answer goes to this question about Danks.
bdhindc: Carroll & Sheehan seemed down on Danks for 2nd half, didnt know if your views differed., thanks.
Schwartz: As noted above, Danks performance is hard to criticize; I think their concerns had more to do with him going around the league a 2nd-3rd time, and the fatigue as the season progresses. But performance wise, there's not much to complain about.
RedsFan47: Is Ryan Howard and KROD for Hanley a fair offer? and why is Ron Cey your favorite player?
Schwartz: Might be overshooting the mark a bit; if Howard heats up you might regret this a little bit... Hanley only has 36 RBI after all.
Schwartz: As for Ron Cey, my Dad was always a Dodgers fan, and as a little kid, I thought 3B was the most exciting position on the field. Add 'em up in 1977 and you got Ron Cey, and he's been my guy ever since.
ankiel4prz: What are your thoughts on Jay Bruce's chance on adjusting to what he's already seen and turning that into some more breakout success this season?
Schwartz: He was the elite prospect in the minors for good reason and got off to a hot start, but the league adjusted to him. He'll have to adjust back, like Ellsbury, but his status as an elite prospect should provide some confidence that he will.
bdhindc: Wow, funny, same for me which is why its Yanks, and Nettles.
Schwartz: Had my Dad been a Yankees fan I'm sure it would've been Nettles for me too!
twins9000: Ian Kinsler or Chase Utley and let's assume they play in the same size ballpark.
Schwartz: Chocolate and peanut butter or peanut butter and chocolate? I'll go with Utley for his superior plate discipline, but Kinsler is younger and still improving. Best solution: get both! -)
bdhindc: Thanks, your advice is greatly appreciated, and more importantly, followed quite often, well ok, its taken into concideration....really want to thank you.
Schwartz: Very kind of you to say! Hope it's helpful to everyone.
Schwartz: BTW, I'm going to take as many questions as I can until 4:30 so keep 'em coming!
bdhindc: What would you place the odds on Wang pitching for Yanks in Sept? Any news on timeframe and return this year?
Schwartz: I'd say it's 70/30 he will come back at least in a limited role, but it's almost certain it wouldn't be before September.
RedsFan47: Cey and Nettles were great, but they were no Chris Sabo.
Schwartz: Spuds!
calvin_c: Here's one for you. Peralta or Lugo for this season.
Schwartz: Hopefully Peralta's 5-hit game is the start of something big for him. Lugo hasn't hit for power or produced any SB's this year, so Peralta's power upside makes him the better gamble.
mlbicon31: willy taveras for joey gathright whats ur thought same value?
Schwartz: I'm not Taveras fan but at his worst he's better than Joey Gathright's best.
irishcbomb: Do you think the talk about platooning Matt Kemp is legit? Where do you see his playing time going when Andruw Jones comes back?
Schwartz: Kemp is still only 23 and has at least held his own against righties this year (.696 OPS). He's never going to learn to hit them by sitting on the bench. His bigger problem is his brutal walk rate and tendency to chase breaking stuff in the dirt.
bdhindc: Latest news is Hughes is out for season, I have Kennedy on DL, do you think Ian can come back and if so, will he be more pitch than ditch for balance of season?
Schwartz: Kennedy seems to be getting back on track in his minor league rehab (19-1 K-BB in 3 starts) so don't give up on him yet. He could be a Slowey type who emerges from PoD when his command is on, and the Yankees certainly have rotation openings. Dont' give up on him.
jkulczycki: Even with Ordonez out & possibly Cabrera for a bit too...does Granderson still keep putting up numbers like in June with a depleted lineup behind him?
Schwartz: It wasn't realistic to expect Granderson to match last season's numbers, but a recent hot streak has gotten him pretty close. He's hitting lefties a little and keeping the strikeouts down a little, but a few more walks would be nice. Future superstar if he's not there yet already.
bdhindc: Willingham or Griffrey for balance of seaon (5x5 vanilla)?
Schwartz: Willingham would probably be more productive but is a big injury risk now due to his back.
mlbicon31: will mulder get back to his starter form before the season is over
Schwartz: I would assume not.
mlbicon31: i have seen alexie ramirez get hot lately u think he going to stay at second base for the rest of the season
Schwartz: Count on it, Guillen loves him and he's pretty clearly established as their 2B this year and SS of the future since Cabrera will be a free agent.
jkulczycki: Is Randy Johnson worth holding on to or has he become another guy that tried to play a few more seasons than he should have?
Schwartz: His K rates suggest he still has something in the tank, I wouldn't give up yet.
ankiel4prz: When you can't make the show and you excuse it by saying you had to tend to your 'real job', what exactly is that? I'd think your work for the 411 was of the utmost importance, you've been great!
Schwartz: I run the stats department; we do data capture for MLB, minor league, winter league and other games where MLB players are involved. Gameday is the best known demonstration of what we do.
calvin_c: So is Byrnes ever going to get going this season after all this?
Schwartz: Still plenty of time to get healthy but back to back hamstring injuries will probably kill his SB value.
bdhindc: Do you think Escobar will be SP on his return (or at least before season is over???) His news that he may only be pen material doesnt excite me.
Schwartz: I doubt he will start unless they get desperate; long/setup relief is probably his best-case scenario.
sfalleta: who is on the bench of these 4: Burrel, Hawpe, Dye and Willingham?
Schwartz: Willingham would always be the odd man out.
jkulczycki: Sheets or Lee, who has the better 2nd half?
Schwartz: If healthy, Sheets could get even better. Can you say that about Lee?
ankiel4prz: In a 12-team keeper, what's your opinion on targeting Chipper for the price of Ellsbury? Do you think Chipper will have enough impact to make such a deal worthwhile?
Schwartz: You better have a great backup plan; Chipper is going on the DL today and is a lock to miss about 40 games a year.
Schwartz: OK folks, a few more quickly...
RedsFan47: In a roto league its easy to see what teams need pitching, but in a head to head league its more difficult, how do you percieve who needs pitching in this format?
Schwartz: 7 useful SP's in a 12-team H2H league, that's the minimum. You define "useful." -)
RedsFan47: Cory, the new adjustment to Gameday is awesome, the pitching look from either from the hitter or pitcher is a great touch, was this your idea?
Schwartz: Thanks! I was on the team that worked on this but it's not fair to say it was my idea. A lot of smart and talented people made this happen, glad you like it.
richmill: what does vanilla mean?
Schwartz: 12-team, 5x5 mixed non-keeper league. It's the vanilla of fantasy leagues.
mlbicon31: so wats ur opinion on pickin up alexis and droping figgins? and wats ur thought on ibanez for willigham, and j.j hardy, chavez and livan for cueto
Schwartz: I wouldn't go that far!
Schwartz: That's all for today folks, thanks for all the great questions!
Schwartz: We'll be back tomorrow from 2-3 pm ET for another edition of the Fantasy 411, just like we do every weekday. Thanks for your support and check out the blog for more: fantasy411.mlblogs.com...
Schwartz, out!

Shrewsbury boss Graham Turner has again turned to West Brom to bring defender James Hurst back to the League One club for a second loan spell.
Right-back Hurst, who spent close to two months on loan at the Greenhous Meadow last term, returns on a deal until the end of the season.
His arrival comes after fellow Baggies right-back Cameron Gayle, already on loan with the Shrews, was last week ruled out around a month with a hamstring injury sustained in the 1-1 draw at Crewe.
Turner told the club's official website: "James had a decent spell with us last season. He went off and played in League One for Chesterfield and also played for them at Wembley in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final.
"He's a full-back we know well and we think he's got good ability.
"We felt we needed some extra cover at the back with the injuries to Cameron Gayle, Rob Edwards and Jermaine Grandison."
It will be Hurst's second loan spell of the season having spent one month at Championship side Birmingham.

Difference between revisions of "Palawan"
Revision as of 08:43, 16 October 2017
The island of Palawan stretches from Mindoro to Borneo in the southwest. It lies between the South China Sea in the northwest and Sulu Sea in the southeast. Palawan is considered to be the Philippines' last ecological frontier. The province boasts many splendid beaches and resorts and it is where the Tubbataha Reef National Marine Park and the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River two of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, are located.
Cities and Towns
Other destinations
Palawan is home to dozens of local languages, since the island is home to numerous indigenous gatherer hunter groups.
Until a few decades ago the most widely spoken language was Cuyonan, which became prominent as a trade language as a result of the favored economic status enjoyed by the nearby island of Cuyo under American colonialism.
Today, Tagalog is also widely spoken as the result of a massive influx of immigrants, from Luzon, over the past half-century. The Philippine government in 2005 officially changed the administrative designation of Palawan to be a member of region IVB, an area recognized as Tagalog-speaking.
However, this decision was later reversed, partly as a result of lobbying by the many Cebuano immigrants from Mindanao; many speak English and a group of expatriate Swiss also operate a shortwave radio network using Swiss-German!
Get in
Puerto Princesa International Airport(IATA: PPS) is the main gateway to Palawan, major airlines serve international and domestic flights; Philippine Airlines, Air Philippines, Cebu Pacific and AirAsia Zest have flights to and from Manila and Cebu, PAL Express (Air Philippines) have flights to and from Busuanga.
El Nido Airport(IATA: ENI), charter flights are provided Island Transvoyager Inc. (ITI) while Seasonal flights are offered by SEAIR.
A new community airport is near completion in San Vicente.
Get around
Cheapest option while getting around is the local jeepney, tricycles are also available. Getting from one island to another is possible; daily boat trips are available. Car and van rentals are also available.
Try to eat Tamilok food
1) Hike The Taraw Peak
2) Get wet at Nagkalit kalit Falls

By Catey Hill
Marcus Garvey once said "if you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life." Recent research shows that Garvey might have been on to something — at least when it comes to retirement planning.
Individuals with greater confidence in their financial abilities are more likely to report that they are financially planning for retirement, and they're more likely to successfully minimize investment fees, according to a study published in the Journal of Behavioral Decision Making this year.
The finding held true even when the researchers controlled for actual financial knowledge. In other words, even when people didn't have a high level of financial knowledge, if they had a high level of confidence in their financial knowledge they were significantly more likely to have a head start on their retirement planning, and to have minimized their fees.
The study authors theorize that "confidence may be needed to start the possibly overwhelming process of retirement planning or even to make an appointment with a financial planner." Being more confident might also enable those investors to plow through more of the investment literature and other data available to them, and thus find more ways to cut costs.
To be sure, it's hard to definitively prove that confidence caused — rather than was just correlated with — these positive outcomes. And the study didn't look at the participants' ultimate nest egg amounts, or examine whether their decisions proved to be prudent.
Still the evidence is persuasive that confidence positively impacts your ability to save for retirement. So we asked financial professionals for some advice about the best ways for a relative novice to increase financial confidence. Here's what they told us.
Write down your goals — and put a dollar amount on them. The first step towards achieving financial confidence is to clarify your goals, says Charles Schwab financial consultant Myhanh Hoskin, a certified financial planner based in Long Beach, Calif. "Make a list of what's important to you and your family," she says. Divide up the list of goals into short term (goals to achieve in less than a year), medium term (goals to achieve in one to five years) and long term (goals that will take longer than five years), and then work to put a dollar amount on each, she says, working with the help of a financial adviser if needed.
Line up your assets with your goals. The next move is to see where your current financial status stands in relation to your goals, says Rebecca Hall, an Ameriprise Financial private wealth advisor, based in Reston, Va. (If you're working with an adviser, this should be one of your very first conversations.) You'll want to figure out your cash flow (what's going out and coming in each month) and net worth; do some "protection planning" (ask yourself: "Am I financially prepared for certain worst-case scenarios like job loss or health issues?"); determine whether your investment mix is appropriate to help you reach your goals; do tax planning; and make sure you're on track for retirement. Revisit these topics at least once a year, to make sure your financial plans remain on track.
Lock in some guaranteed income. As you're getting closer to retirement, few things can cause a hit to your financial confidence — and thwart retirement dreams — like losing a bunch of money in your 401(k) or IRA when the market swings. That's why Pete D'Arruda, president of Capital Financial Advisory Group in Cary, NC recommends guaranteed income products like annuities and guaranteed income riders within life insurance contracts. "You can't outlive this income, so it gives your peace of mind and confidence that you'll be able to retire with enough money," he says. Weigh your options carefully, though, as these kinds of products can be pricey.

Here's a deceptively simple rule: Start paying more attention to the quality of natural light and your photographs will more consistently match your hopes - and your vision.
That's the theme of a new book co-authored by Jim Miotke and Kerry Drager! In The BetterPhoto Guide to Photographing Light, Jim and Kerry discuss - in words and images - such topics as the direction of light, sunrise and sunset, the color of light, moody and dramatic light, the beauty of overcast light, and so much more.
Also covered are techniques for fixing lighting problems: i.e., fill flash, reflectors, and High Dynamic Range (HDR). In addition, the authors cover tricky exposure situations, such as backlighting, snow photography, and low light.
Of course, sometimes you simply have no choice regarding the light. Parades, sporting events, festivals, and other special activities routinely occur in less-than-inspiring lighting conditions. But nonetheless, a good understanding of natural light will help you shoot in not-so-stellar conditions. A key theme of this book is to help you make the most of whatever light you have.
In The BetterPhoto Guide to Photographing Light, you'll learn how to take your photography to new artistic heights!

Achievement Motivation in Education
Judith Meece and Charlotte Agger
Achievement motivation theories are used to understand gender discrepancies in motivation across various academic domains. Early on in the field of motivation research, researchers commonly used an attribution framework to study achievement-related outcomes among men and women. Self-efficacy theory and a revised expectancy-value theory of achievement-related choices dominate the current literature on gender differences and achievement motivation. Current trends in research on gender and academic motivation include the shifting and expanding of theoretical frameworks, a new focus on the motivation and achievement of male students, and the use of advanced methodologies and cross-national data to conduct comparative research on gender and patterns of motivation.
Developing Inclusive Schools in South Africa
Petra Engelbrecht
In South Africa, new legislation and policies on inclusive education in the post-apartheid era since 1994 have placed a strong emphasis on equity, equality, and human rights, as defined in the South African Constitution. As a result, a White Paper on building an inclusive education and training system was published in 2001. It acknowledges the failure of the education system to respond to the barriers to learning and development experienced by a substantial number of learners, including diverse learning needs caused by, for example, language, socioeconomic, or gender issues as well as disabilities. This policy document describes inclusive education as being based on the ideals of equity and equality and as a result recognizing and respecting learner and learning diversity within mainstream schools. As stated in the policy, in practice this means identifying and removing barriers in the education system to ensure that the full range of diverse learning needs are met in mainstream classrooms as well as providing support to learners and teachers in addressing barriers to learning and development.
Research studies on the implementation of inclusive education in South Africa, however, are finding that despite the development of a wide range of implementation guidelines since 2007, complex interrelated issues continue to complicate the development of successful inclusive schools. These issues include a continued divergence of views of inclusive education with a continuing strong belief in special education and separate educational settings by most teachers, therefore leading to a resultant lack of clarity regarding the implementation of inclusive education at the level of local practice in schools and classrooms. These differences in the understanding of inclusive education and its enactment in diverse school contexts also bring the question of power and agency into South African debates about inclusive education: who should decide which version of inclusive education should be the goal of the development of inclusive education in a specific school district or a specific school. Furthermore, contextual issues including the lack of financial and human resources, for example effectively trained teachers, effectively functioning district educational support teams for schools in specific school districts, lack of textbooks, and overcrowded classrooms, play a dominant role in the development of effective inclusive schools.
Discourses of Adolescence and Gender in the United States
Pamela J. Bettis and Nicole Ferry
Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and author of the international bestseller, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead (2013), argues that women need to engage more actively in the workplace and take the professional and emotional risks required in leadership. In many ways, Sandberg's own story is the fulfillment of the promise of the "Alpha Girl," Harvard psychologist Dan Kindlon's name for the new face of girlhood. Kindlon maintains that contemporary young Western women have initiated a new era of female empowerment, with girls interested mainly in future careers and not romantic relationships. Meanwhile, the U.S. public discourse pertaining to boys frames them as troubled and in need of more attention. The popular press notes that girls outperform boys in school; that boys are more likely to repeat a grade; more likely to be diagnosed with a learning disability; and more likely to be expelled, suspended, and disciplined in school. Furthermore, adolescents who do not adhere to gender normativity or who identify as transgender are continually neglected in mainstream considerations of youth, school policies, curriculum, and educational spaces. Over the course of recent decades, U.S. discourses of adolescence and gender, including those found in popular and academic discussions, have shifted. As girls become the new models of success, as boys are deemed worthy of extra attention, and as gender-transgressive students remain absent from the discussions altogether, it is imperative that educators keep abreast of these changing discourses that shape the way we talk about and understand youth.
Ecofeminism and Education
Jennifer Hatten-Flisher and Rebecca A. Martusewicz
Ecofeminism is a theoretical, political, and educational movement that draws specific parallels between the domination of women and other marginalized groups, and the degradation of nature. While much of ecofeminist thought is focused on examining the interconnectivity between social and environmental injustices, ecofeminism is as vast and varied as its feminist and ecological roots. Yet, ecofeminism is not without its critics. After being widely accused of essentializing women's relationship with nature, the term fell out of favor with a lot of scholars in the 1990s. Those who have remained loyal to the term have argued that this was an unfair mischaracterization of the larger foundational ideas within ecofeminist work.
Given the global environmental and social crises currently sweeping the planet, ecofeminism offers important, albeit diverse, theoretical, practical, and pedagogical perspectives for developing effective responses to such interrelated crises. As such, scholars across a variety of disciplines are revisiting (and reclaiming) ecofeminist thought. In the field of education, ecofeminism is influencing the ways that we approach questions of justice by offering an intersectional framework that insists on recognizing the interconnected roots of racism, sexism, poverty, ablism, and other social problems with ecological degradation. An ethics of care is woven throughout to form the basis of a pedagogy of responsibility whereby students learn to both critique these cultural foundations of violence and identify practices and relationships that help to create healthy sustainable communities.
Gender and the Superintendency
Susan Katz
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Education. Please check back later for the full article.
Significant research telling the stories of women's experiences in the superintendency has been conducted only since the 1980s. Much of that research has been focused on white women, with fewer studies of women leaders of color. By the beginning of the new century, there were more women in the pipeline for the superintendency—more women in graduate educational leadership programs, more women in the elementary principalship, and more women in central office positions. Data from the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) 2015 Study of the American Superintendent show that while increases have been made throughout the years, females make up only 27 percent of the superintendency, up only 2 percent from 2010. This stands in direct contrast to the female-dominated teaching force. Given that the position of teacher is the first step in the pathway toward the superintendency, women are clearly underrepresented as superintendents across the country. This problem has been a topic for many researchers, practicing academics, and doctoral students who choose the topic as research for dissertations.
Gender, Girls, and Schooling
Marnina Gonick
The schooling of girls has, across different times and places, often been a matter of heated public debate. From the 1800s to the present, contentious issues such as the purpose of girls' education, curriculum content, and the meanings given to girls' bodies within educational sites have led to varying discussions, opinions, and policies. At the center of these debates are the questions of how gender is understood; how it is used in a given place and time in the division of labor, the economy, and the family; and how it is assumed that young girls and women should be instructed for eventually taking up the positions deemed appropriate for their time and place. It is impossible, however, to simply talk about girls' schooling as if this refers to a singular group of people. Differences in class, race, ethnicity, region, citizenship, sexuality, and other characteristics shape both the contours of the debate and the experience of schooling. Thus, any discussion of the issue of gender, girls, and schooling needs to take an intersectional approach—one that takes into consideration the ways in which identity categories work together within and across differences to produce experience, identity, and meaning.
Currently, the question of girls' education finds its strongest articulation in relation to the Global South. International organizations and major corporations alike have used their platforms to advance the cause of educating girls in the interests of national and global development. This has proved to have consequences that do not always take into account the complexity of girls' lives in their local contexts. Issues of gendered inequalities in the Global North are sometimes mistakenly assumed to have been resolved, things of the past. However, girls in schools continue to face issues such as sexual harassment, cyberbullying, and discrimination. As a result, their issues are often misunderstood or marginalized within school communities.
Marxism and Educational Theory
Mike Cole
While Marx and Engels wrote little on education, the educational implications of Marxism are clear. Education both reproduces capitalism and has the potential to undermine it. With respect to reproduction, it is informative to look at key texts by Althusser and Bowles and Gintis (and the latter's legacy). As far as challenging capitalism is concerned, considerations are given to both theoretical developments and practical attempts to confront neoliberalism and enact socialist principles, the combination of which Marxists refer to as praxis. There have been constant challenges to Marxism since its conception, and in conclusion we look at two contemporary theories—critical race theory and its primacy of "race" over class—and intersectionality which has a tendency to marginalize class.
Queer Pedagogy
Matthew Thomas-Reid
Queer pedagogy is an approach to educational praxis and curricula emerging in the late 20th century, drawing from the theoretical traditions of poststructuralism, queer theory, and critical pedagogy. The ideas put forth by key figures in queer theory, including principally Michel Foucault and Judith Butler, were adopted in the early 1990s by to posit an approach to education that seeks to challenge heteronormative structures and assumptions in K–12 and higher education curricula, pedagogy, and policy.
Queer pedagogy, much like the queer theory that informs it, draws on the lived experience of the queer, wonky, or non-normative as a lens through which to consider educational phenomena. Queer pedagogy seeks to both uncover and disrupt hidden curricula of heteronormativity as well as to develop classroom landscapes and experiences that create safety for queer participants.
In unpacking queer pedagogy, three forms of the word "queer" emerge: queer-as-a-noun, queer-as-an-adjective, and queer-as-a-verb. Queer pedagogy involves exploring the noun form, or "being" queer, and how queer identities intersect and impact educational spaces. The word "queer" can also become an adjective that describes moments when heteronormative perceptions become blurred by the presence of these queer identities. In praxis, queer pedagogy embraces a proactive use of queer as a verb; a teacher might use queer pedagogy to trouble traditional heteronormative notions about curricula and pedagogy. This queer praxis, or queer as a verb, involves three primary foci: safety for queer students and teachers; engagement by queer students; and finally, understanding of queer issues, culture, and history.
Queer Studies in Education
Jennifer C. Ingrey
A survey of key contributors and theoretical tensions in the applications of queer studies in education is purposefully partial namely because of the impartiality embedded in the nature of 'queer', a verb whose action unsettles, dismantles and interrogates systems of normalization, beginning with heteronormativity and heterosexism. Queer theory emerged in the 1990s before influencing education, including both elementary and secondary schooling; however, queer is complex in that it involves the signifier or signified term: it is both the integration of queer content in curriculum as well as the practice of queering educational practices (i.e., curriculum, pedagogy and practice). The queering of pedagogy involves the queering of the educational subject, both teachers and students. In such a survey of queer in education, the ontological groundings for queer are important to consider given the paradoxical nature of queer to unpack and unsettle whilst maintaining its hold on an identity category in order to do its unsettling work. Indeed, the consequent recognition of the subjecthood of queer in educational contexts is a significant note in this attention to queer's application in education. Queer also moves beyond not only an inclusion of queer content, but also exceeds queer sexualities to cohere and contrast with trans-infused approaches. Queer theory considers that the future of queer may well exceed beyond sexuality and gender altogether to become a practice of unsettling or critique more generally. Its continuity in education studies as well as its potentially impending expiration are concerns of scholars in the field.

New 'Confidential Mode' Launched By Google
By Bill Strange
April 16, 2018

Google is beefing up their security. A "Confidential Mode" will prevent recipients from forwarding, printing or even copying e-mails. Users will also have the option to lock an e-mail message with a password. The changes are increasingly important as consumers worry about their data being used and shared.
"Confidential Mode" is expected to launch as early as next month during Google's annual Developer Conference.

What is child Abuse?
It is repeated mistreatment or neglect of a child by parent(s) or other guardian resulting in injury or harm.
Under California Law, child abuse is a crime. Children need protection because they are vulnerable and often unable to speak for themselves. The California Child Abuse Reporting Law, along with other state laws, provides the legal basis for action to protect children and allow intervention by public agencies if a child is maltreated.
back to top ^
What is the difference between discipline and abuse?
Discipline is designed to help children control and change their behavior. Its purpose is to encourage moral, physical and intellectual development and a sense of responsibility in children. Ultimately, older children will do the right thing, not because they fear external reprisal, but because they have internalized a standard initially presented by parents and other caretakers, and children gain self-confidence and a positive self-image.
Abuse is characterized by its orientation toward satisfying needs or expressing the negative feelings of parents or other caregivers. While it may result in positively changing the child's behavior, often the improvement is temporary and followed by a later acting out of the hatred, revenge and hostility they have learned from their parents. To avoid further abuse, children may lie, run away or exhibit other forms of avoiding responsibility. Abuse tends to damage the self-esteem of both parents and the children.
Safe, effective discipline is a correction given in love. In evaluating methods of guiding their children's behavior, parents or guardians need to ask themselves: Is the discipline...
carefully related to the offense?
administered in the calmness of conviction rather than in the heat of anger?
fair, weighing heavily in consideration of the child, occasional and of brief duration?
free from physical violence (e.g., look of reproach, scolding or the taking away of a valued privilege)?
back to top ^
What are the different kinds of child abuse?
Shaking, beating, burning, failure to provide necessities of life (e.g., adequate food, clothing, shelter, medical care). A child is physically injured by other than accidental means. A child is being subjected to willful cruelty or unjustifiable punishment.
Excessive yelling, belittling, teasing.
Failure to provide warmth, attention, supervision, normal living experiences.
Incest, rape and other sexual activity or exploited sexually.
Any kind of contact with a child could be considered a sexual act. It will depend on the intent of the person making the contact. The victim knows or can 'FEEL' the difference between hugging and fondling, tender or passionate kissing.
Good touching, bad touching and secret touching are three examples that help clarify what is or is not against the law. Any kind of secret touching is against the law.
is when a child does something he or she is supposed to, like helping grandma, and grandpa gives a kiss on the cheek or a big hug to the child.
is when a child and his brother or sister get into a fight and the child gets hit. The next day the child has a bruise or black eye.
is anytime anyone (man, boy, woman, or girl) wants to touch a child and want the child to touch them anywhere that does not seem right to the child or that would be covered with the child's underclothes or swimming suit. Any child may be victimized.
means a person under the age of 18 years.
back to top ^
Where does child abuse happen?
Child abuse can happen anywhere:
in poor, middle class, well-to-do homes
in any ethnic, cultural, occupational, religious and age groups
in child's own home or outside it
in rural areas, suburbs, cities
involving one or both parents
Tragically, though, it most often happens at home and usually the abuser is known to the child. Generally, the abuser is a caretaker. A caretaker can be a parent, stepparent, relative or baby-sitter.
back to top ^
What are the effects of child abuse?
Child abuse happens often. It is estimated that as many as a million cases of abuse and neglect happen each year. Its effects are severe:
Emotional or Physical Handicaps (sometimes lifelong):
An abused child may never be able to love and trust other people; may always have a poor self-image.
Injuries inflicted in childhood may result in permanent crippling, deformity.
"Acting Out" Behavior:
Often, abused children become teenagers/adults who act in criminal and other antisocial violent behavior.
Even Death:
Parents who habitually abuse their children may very well end up killing them. Hundreds of such cases happen every year in the United States.
We know that child abuse is a symptom that can be treated successfully, eased, prevented or the cause cured. But first, more people have to understand and care.
back to top ^
Why do parents abuse their children?
(Note: Parents are the most frequent child abusers. But other guardians, e.g., parents' friends, relatives, may also be involved.)
Often, it's in reaction to past or present problems or stresses they can't cope with, such as:
Parents who can't relate well to other adult may expect children to take care of parents, satisfy their need for love, protection, self-esteem.
Financial, job, legal problems, major illness, etc., can cause a parent to "take it out" on a child.
Many abusive adults were mistreated themselves as children and have a poor, self-image.
Such problems limit parental ability to care properly for children.
Most abusive parents are "normal." Relatively few are "criminal" or mentally unbalanced.
back to top ^
What are the common signs of child abuse?
Bruises, welts, burns. Parents may seem unconcerned, deny that anything is wrong, or give unlikely explanations for the injuries.
Children often are badly nourished, inadequately clothed, are left alone or are wandering at all hours, always seem as if nobody cares. (Sometimes, though, over-neatness may be a sign of abuse.)
Very aggressive, negative behavior constantly repeated can signal a desperate need for attention and help.
When children are excessively shy and friendless, it may indicate that there are serious problems at home.
Parents who don't share in school or community activities and resent friendly contacts may be distrustful of people, afraid of their help.
Use caution and good sense in identifying child abuse. Every parents makes errors in judgment and action at some time but when it becomes plain that there is a pattern or it is becoming one, then it's time for help.
back to top ^
Why should I get involved?
For your own sake...and for the family's sake. Child abuse is a tragedy that affects us all:
permanent mental or physical damage caused by child abuse can rob a person of the ability to be an independent, productive citizen.
crime, delinquency, drug and alcohol addiction, etc., often result when a person has been mistreated as a child.
abuse is a vicious cycle usually passed on from generation to generation.
the great majority of these troubled parents can learn how to be good mothers and fathers, to enjoy their children.
back to top ^
How can we help troubled families?
Helpers seek to protect the child and help families learn how to live together and cope with crisis. The kind of help given depends on a particular family's problems and needs.
These are vital first steps. Too often, child abuse goes unreported because people who could help "don't want to get involved."
Help must be sought immediately for urgent problems, such as physical injury, malnutrition, serious neglect. Children may also need developmental testing or psychiatric therapy. Parents may need a physician's help, too, for physical problems, mental distress, depression, alcohol abuse, etc.
Concerned friends, relatives, visiting nurses, homemakers, social workers often are family and life-savers. Most abuse incidents are triggered by a crisis in the parent's life that must be resolved to ease overwhelming tensions. In some cases all that's needed is a HELPING HAND. and the knowledge that someone cares.
This is a must for children and parents. Because abuse develops over a long time, it requires long term professional treatment. Time is needed to work out family problems and for parents to learn "parenting skills"---the knowledge and ability necessary to raise a child.
Temporary separation is sometimes necessary to protect the child and give the parent(s) a chance to "cool off."
Permanent separation is a last resort. (In certain cases, though, it may be the only answer.)
back to top ^
How do I know or suspect a child abuse case?
You have a moral, and in some cases, a legal responsibility to see that child abuse is reported to the people who can help. By law, you cannot be prosecuted for doing so in good faith. First, be sure you know the facts....then act.
Often an abusive parent needs someone to talk to for advice and support. Do your best to offer a sympathetic ear and to suggest services (social, medical, etc.) that can help.
The Child Abuse Hotline, 1-800-540-4000, should be called immediately to report child abuse or neglect. People who must report child abuse, often referred to as Mandated Reporters, vary from state to state - usually they include physicians, dentists, police, school counselors, teachers, nurses, etc.
back to top ^
Why should I report child abuse?
All children have the right to grow up in a safe environment. Child abuse, in all its forms, has a more lasting and negative effect on children, families and the whole community than most people realize.
At its worst, its destructive impact haunts its victim throughout life and prevents the child from becoming a productive adult. Frequently, parents who were mistreated as children will mistreat their own children. The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect reports that more than 2,000 children die each year due to abuse or neglect.
Reporting child abuse is a first step in stopping this devastating cycle.
People who hurt children usually need help to change their behavior. Many, perhaps most, only get that help after someone else calls attention tot he fact that they need it by reporting their abuse of a child.
back to top ^
What will happen to me if I make a report?
Anyone who reports known or suspected child abuse is protected by law from civil or criminal liability unless it can be proven that the report was false and that the person who made the report knew it was false. Any person, except a mandated reporter who reports child abuse may remain anonymous. Mandated reporters are required to give their names. However, it is helpful to give your name and telephone number to the worker taking the report in the event he or she needs to obtain more information later.
back to top ^
How do I know when to report child abuse?
Reporting should be done when a person either knows or has a "reasonable suspicion" that a child has been or is in danger of abuse or neglect. "Reasonable suspicion" means that most people, given the same facts and information, would suspect child abuse. Hard proof is not needed to make a report. However, reports must be in good faith. Use common sense.
A report of child abuse is serious and may have a lifelong impact on the child and his or her family. Never make a false or malicious report. If you have any doubts about whether to report a particular situation, simply call the DCFS Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-5404000) and discuss the situation.
back to top ^
What happens after a report is made?
The social worker or law enforcement officer on duty will speak to the person making the report in order to obtain information about the child. The kind of information needed includes:
what type of abuse has occurred?
who or what caused the abuse?
is the child still in danger or in need of medical care?
No two reports are handled in exactly the same way. Decisions by all the people involved are based on each child's situation. Even reports on two children in the same family may be handled differently.
The agency receiving the report will determine how to proceed based on the information available. All reports which describe situations that fall within statutory definitions of abuse/neglect will receive a response. What the response is and how quickly it will be made, depend on the seriousness of the events reported and the situation the child faces. Where it appears the child is still in danger, the response will be immediate. Not all reports are serious enough to require the assistance of a law enforcement agency. In these cases, the family may be contacted only by the child welfare agency.
The investigations by the child welfare agency and law enforcement are conducted separately. The child welfare agency will concern itself with the welfare of the child and family. Law enforcement will focus on obtaining evidence to determine whether a crime has been committed and by whom.
back to top ^
What does the social worker do?
The social worker interviews the child and family to evaluate the situation. The worker, whose primary responsibility is the PROTECTION OF THE CHILD, may offer services to help reduce the problems of the family and child. These include:
referrals to self-help groups
assistance in obtaining medical care, emergency shelter, transportation
temporary in-home caretaker to help parents and children
The social worker's activities are designed to protect children and enable families to stay together whenever possible.
back to top ^
What does the law enforcement officer do?
The law enforcement officer has a primary responsibility to protect the child. The officer will interview the parents/caregivers and child and will gather information based on the interviews, physical evidence and information from other sources such as medical and school records. When instances of serious abuse and crimes occur, the parent/caregiver is arrested and the case if referred by law enforcement to the district attorney for criminal prosecution.
back to top ^
Does a report mean a child will be taken away?
NO! Most reports of child abuse do not result in children being removed from their families. The first goal is to enable the child to remain safely in higher own home.- If this is not possible, the social worker must remove the child from the home and place him/her in . a foster home. If it is necessary in order to protect the child, the child welfare agency also is authorized to arrange emergency, temporary foster care.
back to top ^
Are children taken away forever?
California has strict rules about removal of children from families. However, because children are vulnerable, the law also affords them significant protection. Peace officers are authorized to take an endangered child into protective custody place the child in the care of the child protection agency.
This initial emergency removal is allowed by law without a warrant for 48 hours, not counting holidays and weekends. Should the child protection agency decide that the child cannot yet return safely to the home, the agency must immediately ask the Superior Court, Juvenile Division, to hold a hearing to determine if continued removal is necessary.
back to top ^
What happens if the court orders removal of a child from the home?
If the Juvenile Division decides that it is necessary to remove a child from the home, several possibilities exist:
the child may be placed with the other parent, if they are separated or divorced
the child may be placed with relatives, or
in a foster or group home
Where the child goes depends on the needs of the child. The court will order that the parents and the child protection agency work together to reunite the family as quickly as possible. Court hearings are held at least every six months if a child is removed from the home to make sure that efforts are being made to bring the child safely back home. The hearings may be held more often if needed.
back to top ^
If children are placed in foster care, do parents see them again?
YES! Parents are expected to visit regularly, except in unusual circumstances. The parent/child relationship must be maintained if at all possible. It is very hard for children to be separated from their parents, even when the parents have harmed the child. No one can easily replace a child's parents.
back to top ^
How can I help prevent child abuse?
There are several things you can do about it. Learn more about child abuse and how it is treated. Don't ignore child abuse, REPORT IT! Be supportive and helpful to families having problems. If you or your family need help coping with children, ask for it. Social service agencies are there to help you.
To report child abuse or neglect in Los Angeles County, call the Child Abuse Hot Line at 1-800-540-4000 (California only). From outside California, call (213) 639-4500.

A Los Angeles court granted a restraining order to Rihanna against a man who broke into her neighbor's house thinking it was the singer's.
Steveland Barrow was ordered by a LA Superious Court to stay at least 100 yards away from the the "Diamonds" singer until the next court hearing, set for March 21.
Barrow was arrested for breaking into her neighbor's house, "removed various items from the home and slept in a bed thinking it was [Rihanna's]."
He reportedly claimed he had been invited to her home, and had composed "numerous pieces of poetry" for the singer.
The March 21 hearing will determine whether the restraining order will be made permanent.

Part of National Museums Liverpool
Also in this section…?
Please note that this exhibition has now closed.
The first major exhibition devoted to costume held at the Walker in 2006, A Passion for Fashion highlighted an important but previously unseen collection.
All of the 130 items displayed in the exhibition were selected from an enormous collection of 700 items formerly belonging to Mrs Emily Margaret Tinne. Donated to National Museums Liverpool by her daughter, this is now probably the largest surviving collection of period clothes from one person's wardrobe in Britain.
Clothing, shoes and accessories worn by Emily Tinne and her children between about 1910 and 1940 were showcased in the exhibition, giving an insight into a long-vanished part of Liverpool's past.
Emily's wardrobe provides us with a snapshot of changing fashions, as worn by a middle-class woman and her family in one of Britain's greatest provincial cities in the period between the two World Wars. It also tells us something about how people shopped for clothes in Liverpool during that time.
Click on the thumbnails below to see a selection of the highlights from each of the areas of the collection.
A catalogue published to accompany the exhibition, 'Mrs Tinne's Wardrobe: A Liverpool Lady's Clothes, 1900-1940', is available to buy from our online shop.

On the third Saturday in January, the thermostats in the quaint river city of Evansville, Ind., read 53 degrees. But in the winter home of Don Mattingly, thetemperature was the same as it has been throughout the off-season, that being quietly boiling.
The Dodgers manager's most compelling experience in the last six months did not involve the hours of front-office negotiations that eventually handed him the most expensive team in baseball history, but the 30 seconds in which he was told he was not yet assured of managing them beyond this season.
Last fall, Mattingly politely asked the club to exercise its one-year option before this final year of his contract. The Dodgers politely refused. He will thus begin the summer as a lame duck, except nothing about Donnie Baseball is ever lame, so let's just say he will be paddling upstream in a situation that could get absolutely daffy.
"It was a 30-second conversation about the option, they said that wasn't the plan for me or my coaches, it was a moot point, and I'm fine with that," Mattingly said in a phone interview. "But you would have liked for them to pick up the extensions so the players could be shown confidence. You never want it to be like, after a couple of bad games, people are saying, 'Oh, are they gonna change managers now?"

jfn needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 217 designs submitted by 67 freelance designers.
We are "The Cut Company", a film & tv production company.
The Cut Company - as in: we make the cut. We are the cut.
As filmmakers, we also edit - and therefore, cut.
We need a logo - a killer logo. This will initially be for a high profile website - have fun, and do your best...show off!
The Cut Company
The Cut Company is a pioneering film and tv production company. Our HQ is in Charleston, SC, and we like the feel of the history here - the old antebellum and victorian designs, the old lamplights, and spanish moss. We are fairly open to different types of designs and will provide active feedback throughout the process to help guide submissions. We would like to develop a long term relationship with our designer for additional projects.
Consequently, in addition to producing films and tv shows, our new product that we are launching next month is "CharlestonTV". It will be a kickapps community embedded into The Cut Company website, where we will make original web shows and video advertising for. We also need a logo for CharlestonTV (we call it CharlestonTV, but the proper name of the site is YourCharleston dot TV)
You can find that contest on 99 designs, too.
To the designer that wins both contests, we offer a $100 bonus.
- We need logo ready to go for both WEB and PRINT.- Prefer a scalable vector image (Adobe Illustrator, EPS or AI); not JPEG, GIF, TIFF, etc. but will accept layered PSD. All please as high res layered master (@ 300dpi!)- Logo should have The Cut Company name inside of it, but does not have to have ".com"- Logo should be very unique, recognizable, sophisticated, but look fresh, new, and masculine.- We are a creative company - this logo needs look and feel well designed, and draw emotion. For some reason I sorta like the feeling of "sophisticated punk". (Whatever that means!?) I guess that means that we can hang and work for the big boys, but we also retain our own point of view. Companies come to US to dream up their campaigns., and want to be associated with our brand.- A few key words for inspiration - (but not limited to) History, Antebellum, Sophistication, Charleston, Film, TV, Video, Web, Viral, Wealth, leaders of our industry, fun, cool, trendy.- Needs to be used for multiple functions - website, stationary, biz cards, etc.- - We are looking at The Cut Company as an advertising company these days - we make the videos and web 2.0 campaigns that make other businesses, companies, services, organizations, etc. flourish and prosper.
- clip art, unlicensed art- plain, tacky, or wack- feminine designs- flat designs - it should have some depth
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

Either that referee really didn't want to seem like he had a conflict of interest by high-fiving a player from one of the teams, or he's a germaphobe. Considering it's probably the former, we now know every ref's kryptonite—run after them with your hand up and they'll walk over their own mother to get away from you. We encourage all players at every level to use this knowledge to makes referees uncomfortable.
