Media advance notion of disappointment on "the left" with Obama, but polling undermines their claims
Several media figures are promoting the notion of division among Obama supporters, asserting that "the left" is or should be disappointed with the president-elect's Cabinet selections. But the idea of significant disappointment with Obama runs counter to a USA Today/Gallup poll finding that 94 percent of Democrats "approve of the way Obama is handling his presidential transition."
Several media figures have recently promoted the notion of division among supporters of President-elect Barack Obama, claiming that "the left" has been or should be disappointed with his Cabinet selections. But the media figures fostering this notion of significant disappointment with Obama's actions rarely offer actual support for their position, which is undermined by recent polling data. A USA Today/Gallup poll released December 2 found that 94 percent of Democrats "approve of the way Obama is handling his presidential transition." The poll also found that 89 percent of Democrats approve of Sen. Hillary Clinton's nomination to be secretary of state and that 79 percent of Democrats approve of Obama's decision to reappoint Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
In a December 2 USA Today column headlined "Left behind: Obama's centrist Cabinet picks must have Democratic ideologues wondering what happened to the change they can believe in," conservative commentator Jonah Goldberg wrote that Obama's Cabinet picks have yielded "dismayed followers" among "the left." Goldberg wrote:
You almost have to feel sorry for the left.
President-elect Barack Obama was supposed to be their guy. That woman, Hillary Clinton, was the centrist, reach-across-the-aisle type. They picked Obama because he was going to be the "transformative" leader who didn't need to compromise with the right or even with reality. Heck, Obama the Wise would magically change reality itself, right around the same moment he'd force those pesky oceans to recede.
Obama promised to turn the page on, first and foremost, the Bush years, but also the political approach that marked the Clinton years. Nonetheless, he has not only embraced Hillary, he also has hired Bill Clinton's Treasury secretary, Larry Summers, to head his National Economic Council, tapped former Clintonite fixer Rahm Emanuel to be his chief of staff, and former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta to run his transition.
Even Bush holdovers, nominal and actual, outnumber and outrank serious progressives in the Obama Cabinet. Leading the pack is Robert Gates, President Bush's secretary of Defense -- the man who oversaw the very troop surge in Iraq that Obama opposed. Timothy Geithner, head of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, will run the Obama Treasury Department. But Geithner has been a de facto right-hand man of current Bush Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
Indeed, of all Obama's confirmed or reported picks, only Eric Holder, Obama's nominee for attorney general, will cause any furor from the right. Even so, the former Clinton deputy AG is no darling of the left.
To his dismayed followers, Obama says fear not, I am the change. "Understand where the vision for change comes from, first and foremost," he told supporters. "It comes from me. That's my job, to provide a vision in terms of where we are going, and to make sure, then, that my team is implementing."
Similarly, Weekly Standard executive editor Fred Barnes wrote in a column posted on the Weekly Standard's website as of December 3 that Obama's Treasury Department and national security selections indicated "he's pragmatic (so far) in one direction -- rightward. Who knew?" Barnes wrote:
So the scoreboard looks like this: Three of the four cabinet posts that matter most are going to those with views acceptable to the center-right of the Democratic party. That's Geithner, Clinton, and Gates. The fourth, attorney general, will provoke a confirmation fight if Obama chooses his buddy Eric Holder, famous as President Clinton's deputy attorney general for facilitating the pardon of Marc Rich.
Three out of four isn't bad. Conservatives aren't jumping for joy. But imagine how the left wing of the Democratic party -- the dominant wing, after all -- feels. Let down would be an understatement.
If Obama wants to pursue economic and national security policies that would thrill MoveOn.org, William Ayers, and the Democratic left, he has a funny way of showing it. The only reasonable conclusion is he's spurning the left.
Obama has dozens of lesser posts to fill, and no doubt he'll use some of those jobs to assuage the left.
During the November 26 edition of his Cincinnati-based radio show, Bill Cunningham characterized Obama's Cabinet selections as "Reagan's economic team, Clinton retreads, and George Bush's national defense secretary" and stated, "If you're a Democrat and a liberal, especially an African-American Democrat liberal, are you this stupid?" He continued: "Don't you grasp what he's doing to you? Or are you gonna sit with your -- with your mouths shut, not voicing concern about the guy you thought you were electing, and you weren't electing him." Cunningham later stated:
Maybe Barack Hussein Obama is a brilliant politician. He gets the liberals to vote for him, then he governs like a conservative. And the liberals are so stupid; they're never gonna vote against Obama, right? In fact, I look forward -- if you voted for Obama, especially if you're an African-American -- more than 97 percent voted for Obama -- you should have a big sign put around your neck that says, "I am a dumb ass." Because you thought you were voting for change. Instead, you were voting for Ronald Reagan and George Bush. Get the signs out, put them around your neck like a sandwich board, and say, "I am a dumb ass."
In a December 3 Politico article headlined "Obama enemies are cheering," senior political writer Jonathan Martin reported that Republicans are "heaping praise on Obama's national security and economic teams" and uncritically quoted "Republican strategist and the former spokesman for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq" Dan Senor's claim that Obama's "real fight will be with the hard left of his own party." Martin wrote:
Patience isn't easy, especially for a GOP that is already frustrated at having taken severe beatings in consecutive elections. Yet the hope is that Obama's moves, however shrewd in the sunshine of his honeymoon period, will eventually create openings.
"This may be frustrating for Republicans," acknowledged Senor. "But it's an opportunity. It signals that Obama's real fight will be with the hard left of his own party. We should stand with him when he breaks with the left. It's looking like it will be a target-rich environment. This is a much better course than nit-picking on details, while he's doing the right thing on big issues."
In a December 1 CNN.com commentary, Julian E. Zelizer asserted that "[s]ome of Obama's core supporters are surprised and upset with his [Cabinet] choices," but did not cite or quote any of these purported "core supporters."
Also on December 1, Kirsten Powers wrote in a New York Post column, "They're Ba-a-ack: Obama Hires Hill -- and Bill," that Obama's selection of Hillary Clinton as secretary of state "infuriates many Obama supporters. Pulling the lever for Obama was supposed to usher out the Clinton era of baby-boomer entitlement and drama." Like Zelizer, Powers did not provide any examples of "infuriat[ed] Obama supporters."
But a USA Today/Gallup poll, conducted December 1, undermines the suggestion of significant disappointment with Obama. That poll found that in addition to Democrats' approval of Obama's handling of the transition and their support for Obama's selections of Clinton and Gates, 77 percent of Democrats indicated that Obama's administration will be "more effective" because he has chosen individuals who held positions in Bill Clinton's administration, with only 3 percent saying those choices will render his administration "less effective."
From the November 26 broadcast of the Clear Channel's The Big Show with Bill Cunningham:
CUNNINGHAM: You know, (Watchdog on Wall Street radio show host) Chris Markowski, Obama is redoing the Bush administration. For the last two years, he complained from pillar to post, from New Hampshire to California, all 58 states -- complained vociferously, Obama did -- about the conduction of the Iraqi war, especially the last two or three years. He voted against the surge, correct?
MARKOWSKI: Yep.
CUNNINGHAM: And who did he keep as -- as secretary of defense?
MARKOWSKI: Gates is back.
CUNNINGHAM: Robert Gates, who was in charge of the surge.
MARKOWSKI: Yeah.
CUNNINGHAM: And I'm thinking, "Wait a minute, I got Paul Volcker, I got Robert Gates, I have a slew of moderate to conservatives appointed by Obama." And I hear nothing from the African-American community or lefties that this is a remake of the Bush-Reagan administration.
CUNNINGHAM: The fact of the matter is he has just appointed Ronald Reagan's chief economic adviser, Paul Volcker, and he kept George Bush's secretary of defense, who for the last two years has been in charge of the Iraqi war that he campaigned against. Does anyone other than me see the delicious irony in any of this? Remember "change you can believe in?" Every sign, every bumper sticker, the commercials he ran. USA Today's got a story today that during this election cycle, Obama ran 450,000 commercials on television. I said 450,000 separate commercials on television. And after the election, who does he keep? Ronald Reagan's economic adviser and George Bush's secretary of defense.
Wow. Now that's change you can believe in. If you're a Democrat and a liberal, especially an African-American Democrat liberal, are you this stupid? Don't you grasp what he's doing to you? Or are you gonna sit with your -- with your mouths shut, not voicing concern about the guy you thought you were electing, and you weren't electing him. I support Barack Hussein Obama. I think the guy's gonna do a great job. With Reagan's economic team and George Bush's military team, how can Obama fail? Twenty-nine minutes after the hour, Billie Cunningham. You've been suckered.
CUNNINGHAM: Every day that goes by it becomes more obvious to me that Obama suckered something like 62 million people into voting for change when change ain't coming. I said it before the election, and I'm saying it after the election: This guy's gonna run like a liberal and he's gonna govern like a moderate to a conservative. He has three things: Ronald Reagan's economic team, Clinton retreads, and George Bush's national defense secretary, which, when you think about it, is not bad.
CUNNINGHAM: At this point, the war is over. America won, and the soldiers will start coming home. So, Obama -- who talked about the disasters in Iraq, about the hundreds of billions of dollars that were wasted, voting against the surge; keeps as the secretary of defense a guy who was in favor of the surge and participated in the strategy that resulted in Obama's election by criticizing it. Obama said nothing nice about George Bush and Robert Gates during the campaign, but once he gets into office, he says, give me Bush's military policy, give me the Clinton retreads, and give me Ronald Reagan's economic team.
And I can't believe that the 62 million fools and idiots and misinformed that put this guy in office can be happy with this. Because, you know what? I am. If I knew that this was the Obama that was gonna campaign -- I didn't want to vote for McCain. I held my nose and voted for John Sidney McCain III. I didn't want to do it. If I would have known that Paul Volcker was gonna -- Paul Volcker was gonna be there, and Robert Gates was gonna be there, and that Bubba and Hillary would be secretary of state, dodging the sniper fire in Bosnia for years to come, I would have voted for Obama in a heartbeat.
CUNNINGHAM: Maybe Barack Hussein Obama is a brilliant politician. He gets the liberals to vote for him, then he governs like a conservative. And the liberals are so stupid; they're never gonna vote against Obama, right? In fact, I look forward -- if you voted for Obama, especially if you're an African-American -- more than 97 percent voted for Obama -- you should have a big sign put around your neck that says, "I am a dumb ass." Because you thought you were voting for change. Instead, you were voting for Ronald Reagan and George Bush. Get the signs out, put them around your neck like a sandwich board, and say, "I am a dumb ass." I love this guy. Bill Cunningham stands with Barack Obama. B.O., keep doing what you're doing, because you're making, to me, a lot of sense -- especially that stuff about no tax increases for high-income Americans. Good job, I like that, too.

The American dream might be possible for everyone when they're asleep, but almost 80 percent of U.S. adults have a decidedly different reality whilst awake. A recent survey conducted by The Associated Press reveals four out of five Americans experience anything from economic insecurity to abject poverty at some point in their adult lives.
Economic insecurity is defined as being jobless, relying on government assistance for at least a year, or having income below 150 percent of the poverty line. For a single person, the poverty threshold is $11,722.
The deteriorating socioeconomic condition of the general public is being fueled by a number of factors: fewer good-paying manufacturing jobs, the globalization of the economy, the widening gap between rich and poor, declining marriage rates and increasing single-parent households. The fastest growing segment -- and largest in sheer numbers -- is white Americans.
"Poverty is no longer an issue of 'them', it's an issue of 'us'," says Mark Rank, a professor at Washington University in St. Louis who calculated the numbers. "Only when poverty is thought of as a mainstream event, rather than a fringe experience that just affects blacks and Hispanics, can we really begin to build broader support for programs that lift people in need."
Trendlines show that by 2030, it will be 85 percent of U.S. adults who will be economically insecure.
What's particularly frightening for us is that it is in this context that Congress plans to cut the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The House of Representatives successfully passed its version of the Farm Bill by stripping out S.N.A.P., which generally made up 80 percent of the cost.
Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, said: "What we have carefully done is exclude some extraneous pieces."
House Republicans are hoping to pare down the $80 billion annual spending on food assistance that currently serves one out of every seven Americans. Decreasing the aid that helps 47 million undernourished citizens is hardly "extraneous," in our opinion. But the conservative base is pushing for government to stop spending so much.
How large the proposed decrease could get is unknown at this point. One suggestion was a 3 percent cut, which surfaced while S.N.A.P. still was attached to the Farm Bill. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., has $135 billion in cuts over the next decade.
We understand that a sizable percentage of residents in northwest Kansas likely applauded the separation of farm assistance and food stamps. We only hope it was because the two items are not germane and should stand on their respective merits.
Attempts to downsize government by taking food off the table of poor people in this country is an appalling notion. Those who support it either are in the upper echelons or are not currently experiencing hardship that will befall four out of every five adults.
Seventy-six percent of S.N.A.P. households included a child, an elderly person, or a disabled person. Those vulnerable households receive 83 percent of all S.N.A.P. benefits.
Elected national leaders in America never will know the pain of hunger. It is up to the electorate to keep these politicians on the correct path.
Editorial by Patrick Lowry

Studies have shown that offering people too many choices may cause them to stick with the status quo—a tactic that can be useful if clients want to change from an agreed-on plan to something that isn't in their best interest. To illustrate, Kol Birke of Commonwealth Financial Network told webinar participants about a research study in which doctors were given the case of an older patient who was about to be sent for hip replacement surgery.
Birke explained, "Half of the doctors in the study saw a note in the case file that said, 'Actually, we forgot one thing. We forgot to try ibuprofen. Would you like to pull the patient out of the queue for hip replacement and try ibuprofen first?'" As a result, 73% of these doctors did try ibuprofen instead of surgery.
Birke continued, "The other half of the doctors received the same patient's case file, but their note said, 'Would you like to send this patient on to hip replacement, or would you like to try them on ibuprofen or this other anti-inflammatory called Piroxicam? And if one of the drugs, which one would you like to try?'
"Rationally," Birke noted, "the doctors in the second group should have jumped at the possibility of trying medication first, because now they've got two chances to keep the patient out of surgery. In fact, Piroxicam is more powerful than ibuprofen, and so might have even a better chance of working." However, only 52% of the doctors in the second group chose to go with one of the drugs.
Why? Because now they faced a second decision (which medication to use) instead of a single decision between hip replacement and a drug. Because the brain is lazy and wants to avoid a second decision, 21% more of the doctors opted to continue with the status quo, which was surgery.

From the iPhone team at Mahalo, the iPhone 4 vs. iPhone 3G infographic does a good job covering the bases on what's new about the new iPhone. But Jason Calacanis asked at the end of the post "any ideas of how to improve?" So I offer my infographic suggestions:
Visualize the data accurately. It the battery section the bars shown are 8 bars for 5 hours and 12 bars for 7 hours. Based on that scale, the 7 hours should only be 11.2 bars. Matching the numbers exactly with 5 and 7 bards would be easier for the readers to comprehend. The small bar chart in between is redundant.
Do something to visualize the increase in processor speed and RAM. Don't just list numbers.
Do something to visualize the megapixels of the camera, don't just list the numbers. A square showing the area covered by each resolution would be good.
Same with the screen resolution, do something to visualize how many more pixels or on the display
The 24% thinner looks like an after thought, make size and dimensions its own category
Don't show 8GB, 16GB and 32GB memory cards all the same size. Visualize the differences.
What would you suggest as improvements?
on 2010-06-13 18:19 by Randy
Odd…I had published these same suggestions on Calacanis.com in the comments to the post of this infographic, and my comment was deleted. Maybe Jason Calacanis didn't really want to know how to improve it? There aren't any comment now, so maybe Jason should just turn off comments if he doesn't want them.
UPDATE: I can see my comment, but others can't. It may be awaiting moderation.

They are forged from high-grade stainless steel with a high chrome content, and are made to withstand the repeated washing and rough handling common in restaurants. The tips are even carefully blunted so as not to stab servers accidentally. They are just delightful to use.
Each is 9" long overall with a 4-1/2" blade and a satin-chrome handle finish. Sold in sets of four (we bet you'll want more), or sets of eight in a cotton cutlery roll. An excellent gift for anyone who eats with utensils!
Made in France. Highly recommended.

Well, it was a rough week. The brain did not engage this morning so I defaulted to the last of the Anne Perry mysteries I collected at the library—a slender episode in her holiday series. It seemed like a more practical choice than finishing Luminarium, a good book but much more work. A Christmas Homecoming is a classic cozy—an acting troupe snowed-in at a country estate, a storm-stranded stranger who is given shelter until the blizzard abates, loads of personality clashes, shifting relationships and a horrible murder that had to be committed by someone in the snowbound house.
A light read. Caroline Fielding has married a much younger actor, the head of the repertory company who travels to Yorkshire to put on a performance of an adaptation of Dracula written by a patron's daughter. It is a house at war with itself—the décor and shadow of a domineering mother-in-law still inhabits the rooms. It is magnificent but dark and somber despite the efforts of Eliza Netheridge, its current mistress. Charles Netheridge, the self-made millionaire who owns the estate, is humoring his daughter Alice who wants to be a playwright. He has scheduled a performance of her play for Boxing Day in the house's theatre.
Jealousies, flirtations, poisonous repartee, a truly awful script and the dire necessity to fix it while not alienating the wealthy host, the surprisingly astute observations of the stranded guest and Caroline's attempts to smooth things to protect her husband Joshua build to a gruesome discovery at midnight—and then an even more gruesome discovery as Caroline sets out to solve the crime. Suspicion is bound to fall on the members of the traveling theater troupe, who are the unknowns in the fishing village of Whitby.Whitby happens to be where Dracula first set foot on English soil and some of the housebound believe that vampires might be real and that one may be among them.
There are some interesting discussions of the nature of evil to enjoy but A Christmas Homecoming is not a hold-your-breath novel. It has its grim moments and ugly surprises and it is convincing and solidly crafted. Just what a brain-dead writer and daily book devourer needed to refocus on how, some days, even the simple stories can save us.

Staff writer
Jerry and Barbara Wishall of McCormick, S.C., and Jerry's brother, Jay, of Derby were in Pilsen on Monday to tour St. John's Nepomucene Catholic Church and the Father Emil Kapaun Museum. Father Phil Creider of Shawnee, Okla., was another visitor.
Harriet Bina was on hand to conduct the tour, one of many that have been given in the past week.
Barbara Wishall said they had been planning this trip for a year, and it happened to coincide with her husband's 50th high school class reunion at Coffeyville.
Jerry Wishall said he was moved by what he read about Chaplain Emil Kapaun in a book he received from a friend. Having grown up in rural Kansas, he felt a kinship with Kapaun and wanted to visit his home parish.
Father Creider recently retired after 20 years as a Navy chaplain. He served with Marines in the first Gulf War. He experienced coming under fire while serving Mass, having to pocket the sacraments and fall on the ground. He said a Marine threw his body over him to protect him.
Creider first heard about Kapaun in 1995.
"He became a hero of mine," he said. "He was tough and holy at the same time, and he gave the ultimate gift. He could give no more."
Bina passionately explained the history and meaning behind the pieces in the museum and told the stories of those who ascribe healings to Father Kapaun's intercession.
In the middle of one room sat a display of a newly crafted model created by Bina herself showing the type of structure in which the prisoners of war in a North Korean camp lived. As the visitors gathered around, Bina explained how Kapaun put his life at risk many times to visit the prisoners and care for them.
The visitors were visibly moved by the stories they heard, as evidenced by tears in Barbara Wishall's eyes. They departed armed with books and souvenirs to take home.
Bina said the church is hoping Catholics as well as other churches in the communities surrounding Pilsen will acquaint themselves with the Kapaun Museum so they can answer questions about it when visitors come to the area. The number of visitors is expected to increase as the Vatican continues to consider the canonization of Kapaun as a Saint.
To set up a tour, call Rose Mary Neuwirth at (620) 924-5282 or e-mail email@example.com.

Update: iOS 7 has removed the ability to change fonts in the Notes
iOS has always come with a built-in Notes app and serves as a pretty easy way to keep basic notes. While some users may prefer something more powerful like Evernote, the Notes app gets the job done for a lot of people, especially since it supports iCloud sync.
If the default font within the Notes app burns your retinas nearly as it does mine, it may deter you from using the Notes app. There's actually a way to change it.
- Launch the Settings app from the Home screen of your iPhone or iPad.
- Scroll down and tap on Notes.
- Here you can switch between three options; the default Noteworthy font, Marker Felt, and Helvetica. Make your selection and then exit.
While Helvetica may be the only acceptable option at this time, it will be a lot easier on the eyes than the default font.

Over the past several decades the Seventh-day Adventist Church has felt it necessary to clearly state in various ways its position in regards to marriage, the family, and human sexuality. These subjects are at the heart of many pressing issues facing society. That which for centuries has been considered to be basic Christian morality in the marriage setting is now increasingly called into question, not only in secular society but within Christian churches themselves.
The institutions of marriage and family are under attack and facing growing centrifugal forces that are tearing them apart. An increasing number of nations are not only debating the topic of "same-sex unions," but some have already passed various pieces of legislation, thus making it a world issue. The public discussion has engendered strong emotions. In light of these developments, the Seventh-day Adventist Church is clearly restating its position.
We reaffirm, without hesitation, our long-standing position as expressed in the Church's Fundamental Beliefs: "Marriage was divinely established in Eden and affirmed by Jesus to be a lifelong union between a man and a woman in loving companionship."1 Though "sin has perverted God's ideals for marriage and family," "the family tie is the closest, the most tender and sacred of any human relationship," and thus "families need to experience renewal and reformation in their relationships" (An Affirmation of Family, 1990).2 God instituted "marriage, a covenant-based union of two genders [male and female] physically, emotionally, and spiritually, spoken of in Scripture as 'one flesh.'" "The monogamous union in marriage of a man and a woman is . . . the only morally appropriate focus of genital or related intimate sexual expression." "Any lowering of this high view is to that extent a lowering of the heavenly ideal" (An Affirmation of Marriage, 1996).3
Homosexuality is a manifestation of the disturbance and brokenness in human inclinations and relations caused by the entrance of sin into the world. While everyone is subject to fallen human nature, "we also believe that by God's grace and through the encouragement of the community of faith, an individual may live in harmony with the principles of God's Word" (Seventh-day Adventist Position Statement on Homosexuality, 2012). 4
We hold that all people, regardless of their sexual orientation, are loved by God. We do not condone singling out any group for scorn and derision, let alone abuse. Still, God's Word that transcends time and culture does not permit a homosexual lifestyle. The Bible's opposition to same-sex unions/marriage is anchored in God's plan at creation for marriage (Gen 1:26-28; 2:20-24), in divine legislation (Lev 18:22; 20:13; 1 Cor 6:9-11), and in Jesus' explicit confirmation of a permanent, monogamous, and heterosexual marriage relationship (Matt 19:4-6).

Over the years, countless parents have asked me how to get babies to sleep through regular intervals on a daily basis. Naptime is an essential part of a baby's development and health, but it's also good for parents, who use those hours to give more attention to other children, catch up on chores, cook, or even to nap themselves! Here are some of my thoughts on successful snoozing.
Regardless of your child's age, sticking to a regular routine is essential to get your baby off to a sound sleep. Very young babies will sleep through all kinds of noises and don't necessarily need absolute quiet…think of how many times your baby has fallen asleep in his car seat while horns are honking! If a baby grows accustomed to sleeping only when there is silence, parents can set themselves and their child up for problems later on, when siblings are noisy, the telephone rings or the television is on.
When is the best time to lay baby down in her crib for a nap? You, and not necessarily the clock, will be the best judge of that! It's vital that you watch for signs of fatigue such as fussiness, crying for no reason, or refusing to play, as these are clear signs that it's time for a nap.
The average newborn may spend at least 16 hours a day sleeping! As they mature, babies' sleep requirements gradually decrease, averaging about 14 hours by the time they are six months old and a little less than 14 hours by the age of one. The duration of newborns' naps are variable, often random, and quite unpredictable depending on circumstances (noise level, distractions, discomfort, etc.) Ideally, newborns settle into a three-nap–per-day schedule by the age of 2-3 months: an hour in the morning, two hours in early afternoon and another short nap in the evening. Moms and dads who bring their babies to a daycare or a nursery may expect their babies' sleep patterns to be slightly different but eventually, babies adapt and will stick with a pattern that's in synch with parents' sleep cycles.
After two years of age, toddlers do not require that much sleep; usually, 1-2 hours in the afternoon is sufficient. This isn't true for every child but more important is that he or she is active, playful and energetic. Here's something that should be kept in mind: it's not necessary to stop daytime naps with the intention of making babies sleep better at night. Many new parents assume that eliminating naps will result in better nighttime sleep for their child, or greater willingness to go off to sleep. Oftentimes the opposite can be true! Keep in mind that lack of sleep during the day may lead to behavioral problems and hyperactivity at night. An overly exhausted child will be agitated, irritable and less likely to wind down for bed… same as an overly exhausted adult!
By four year of age, naptime is usually eliminated, for better or for worse. Before entering school, I suggest limiting naps to weekends only, in order to prepare your child for this big transition. Though daycare centers often include naptime in toddlers' schedules, many preschools do not and by kindergarten, it's virtually eliminated.
There are a few strategies that parents can practice to develop a healthy naptime routine:
1. Mom and dad can observe baby's behavior to see when he or she exhibits signs of fatigue; making naptimes regular and based on when the baby is tired.
2. Engage your baby in active play when awake.
3. Schedule feeding times before naptime so baby will not get hungry and cut short his naps
4. Again, develop a routine around naptime like using a favorite blanket or stuffed toy to calm her down. Then move her to her crib once she's sleepy.
5. Other effective strategies include: swaddling baby in a blanket; rocking baby in your arms or in a rocking/gliding chair; using white noise or music (singing quietly to baby or playing lullabies) to drown out jarring daytime noise; changing the baby's diaper before his nap; taking a short walk with baby in a stroller, or even just turning down the toddler bed and telling a story.
These suggestions, combined with patience and experimentation, should provide a plan for good sleep patterns. After all, it's a parent's responsibility to satisfy baby's needs and helping him or her adjust to family life. This will take time and many tears – maybe even fits and tantrums — but with effort, you will be rewarded with a child who literally "sleeps like a baby."
How do you encourage naptime? Post in the comments below, or go over to BabyLegs' Facebook page and look for today's post on naptime. Share your own pearls of wisdom with other BabyLeggers who might need help with this important part of baby's daily routine.

I choose to be very selective in my posting of comments unless I have something positive to offer. Regarding these current discussions, I am at a loss to understand why the amateur community has become so self-centered that they cannot see that we MUST pursue programs that involve the education of new. young and enthusiastic amateurs to carry on the hobby in the future. The frequencies do not BELONG to us, they are merely entrusted to us to do good deeds for humanity. As far as I am concerned, unless we encourage projects like the Cubesats, then amateur radio est morte. I am also dismayed at the "linear vs FM" diatribes that seem to go on unabated. I was a major player in the decision for AMSAT-NA to pursue AO-51 because we needed a simple, short-term project to keep the organization alive. We solicited the contribution of a linear transponder and no one, none, zip, Nada was offered. NBFM hardware was available, so it flew. It was disappointing for me to learn that there was no one in the USA, Canada or Mexico (the "turf" of AMSAT-NA) who could tackle the building of such a simple piece of RF hardware. One piece of news on the linear transponder front that I do want to mention. This past weekend we had a small technical meeting to understand the status of Suitsat-2 -- like the first Suitsat, this will involve putting radio equipment on an out-of-warranty Russian ORLON space suit, stuffing the legs with dirty clothes, and pushing it out of the hold of the Space Station. The current plans for Suitsat-2 include a low-powered Software Defined Transponder (SDX) with 70 cm in & 2M out. The linear transponder passband will be 20-25 kHz wide. Some of you who were at Dayton may have seen some of the Suitsat/SDX hardware running on the air. The satellite demo folks (W5IU, N8MH) in the parking lot demonstrated it working to many folks. The SDX activity is being done under the auspices of the High Performance SDR (HPSDR) group which has AMSAT & TAPR sponsorship. An early version of the "Odyssey" SDX can be seen at http://hpsdr.org/wiki/index.php?title=ODYSSEY. All along, we have been hoping that we can make a version of the Odyssey SDX be small enough to fit into a Cubesat. And so Domenico, despite your statement, I'm still here! 73 de Tom, K3IO (ex W3IWI)

6 Things NOT To Do In A Job Interview
For many people, the most stressful part of the job-hunting process is the interview. That's the time when you have to sell yourself and prove why you're perfectly suited for the job. Many well-qualified people stumble and make mistakes that kill their chances of getting the job. Here are the most common mistakes I see people make:
Carrying too much stuff into the interview. You want to seem the consummate professional, not a harried traveler navigating through airport security. A slim portfolio or folder to carry extra resumes, pad and pen is all you should have. Ask if you can store your overcoat, umbrella or heavy bag while you are interviewing. Don't carry a beverage into the interview but if they offer you something during your meeting, always take the water. If you get thirsty later, you'll appreciate it (and unlike soda, coffee and tea, water dries clear should you spill it.)
Bragging that you're a 'perfectionist.' Many interviewers will see this as a red flag; it means you're difficult to work with and will never let go of a project. Say, instead, you're detail-oriented.
Confessing to multiple weaknesses. Interviewers commonly ask job applicants to describe their biggest weakness to see if people are humble and self-aware enough to identify something they can improve upon. But that doesn't mean you should cite a list of faults. Name one weakness that is relevant to the job, and explain how you are working to improve that skill.
Giving obviously rehearsed answers. It's important that you seem relatable, natural and likable, as well as competent and smart. Show your personality since the interviewer is checking you out for a workplace fit. I think of this as the "airport test": If the interviewer got stuck in the airport with you for several hours, would he or she consider you a desirable co-worker? Or would you be the kind of person who drove everyone crazy?
Having no clue about the company you're interviewing with. You should always be able to answer the question, "Tell me what you know about this company." Before the interview, you need to check out the company's website and speak with people who might also know the organization. This is how the human resources team determines if you are just fishing for any job or you are genuinely interested in their company and this particular opportunity. An interviewer wants to know that you took the time to do your due diligence since competition is fierce and not preparing indicates a lack of seriousness.
Answering your phone or fumbling with it. Sure, it's rude if the interviewer is constantly checking his BlackBerry, but if your phone goes off during the interview, you just look unprofessional.

Farmers' Market starts May 1
Staff writer
Marion Farmers' Market will start May 1 from 5 to 7 p.m. in Central Park. There will be markets on Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon.
Organizer Shana Thornhill is one of three regulars at the market. The other two are N.M. Patton of Peabody and Darlene Carlson of Lincolnville. Patton provides vegetables while Carlson sells vegetables, herbs, canned goods, and flowers. Thornhill also offers tips to prepare vegetables and other organic foods for meals.
"Organic food is not expensive; it's easy to prepare," she said.
Thornhill said the market has had vendors who sold beeswax balms and lotions and other non-food items. She is receptive to Avon dealers being a part of the market. Thornhill said she is about ready to send out letters to prospective vendors.
"We'll take anything, anywhere," she said.
Thornhill is planning to discuss moving the location of the Saturday market.
She wants to collaborate with Jirak Brothers Produce and sell vegetables at the same time near Liberty Park.
People interested in participating, may call Thornhill at (620) 382-2152.
"We encourage people to come visit or to just play in the park," she said.

Student Experiences
Experience study abroad through the eyes of our past returnees as they discuss their adventures in over 20 countries!
"Ever since I was old enough to know what study abroad was, I knew I wanted to do it".
"Spend a few months (or even a year!) in basically any country you want? Who could say no? At first, it was impossible to narrow down the list of places I wanted to go—the only programs I crossed off initially were the ones I didn't meet the prerequisites for! When I really thought about what I wanted from my study abroad experience, though, it was much easier. I'm a Spanish minor and absolutely love the language—it has always been my goal to speak it fluently someday. The more I thought about it, the more I knew I had to go to a Spanish-speaking country. I knew I wanted to go to Latin America rather than Spain, because it seemed more adventurous to me; I am lucky enough to have lived in Europe already, so I wanted to try something completely new and different. To be honest, I don't know why I chose Buenos Aires specifically. I knew very little about Argentina before coming here, but for some reason I was drawn to it (and I'm so glad I was!).
Studying abroad was easily the best decision I could have made to improve my Spanish. I'm constantly interacting with native speakers in my homestay, school, and daily life. I've learned so many new vocabulary words and idioms simply by hearing and using them so frequently. I'm sure that I could have eventually learned them all from a textbook, but here I was picking them up starting on my first day. There are also so many words I've learned that would be essentially meaningless without knowing and understanding the cultural context behind them.
I'm also taking a Spanish grammar class for the first time since high school. In college, once you get to a certain level, you just start taking literature or other content-area courses. There are many amazing courses offered at UR, but I'm a huge grammar nerd and missed my conjugations! Before coming here, I felt that I had sort of been stuck in a grammar rut—I knew all of the tenses and many other concepts, but I had no idea how to progress. Here, I feel like I'm pushing myself to new limits—we spend four hours a week going over and practicing complex topics. I'm learning a ton!
There are so many intangible benefits of living in a Spanish-speaking country, as well. I've studied Spanish for eight years now, and living here successfully really makes me feel like it's paying off. It is also definitely encouraging me to keep studying; every day I realize I still have much to learn! I've also noticed myself becoming more confident in speaking—I rarely get nervous now when I have to say something, and I'm way more comfortable trying trickier sentence structures in conversation.
If you're considering studying a language at UR, I can't recommend study abroad enough. Take language classes early and often, and remember that it's never too early to start thinking about going abroad!"
-Kristen Scherb, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Spring 2012
"I think for anyone sitting on the fence the only advice you can really give them is to go for it and you won't regret it".
"I can say that I've thought about going abroad, and to a Spanish speaking country, probably since I was in middle school. But when it actually came time to go I was never more terrified. And not everything about Chile has been perfect and easy. In fact a lot was very hard. But I have never been more glad to do anything. The experience has been absolutely amazing and taught me a lot about myself and about the world. Living almost entirely in a different language is frustrating but rewarding every day. It goes slowly but every time I've thought I couldn't do it, something has happened to lift my hopes. And it's a nice break from a real college semester. It goes by so much faster than you think, and while you have work, everything is so much more interesting and exciting to do. The places I've been and things I've gotten to see have been incredible, along with the people I've met. It's taken a little while but Chile really feels like home now, and so does my family here. I am still excited to go home at the end, but I'm already thinking of when I can come back. Doing something like this takes a lot of guts the first time, even for someone that loves traveling, but it's definitely worth it and know that every time after will be a piece of cake!"
-Hanna Arwe, Santiago, Chile, Spring 2010
"My internship at the Roman Baths helped me hone my people skills, and taught me what it took to be a team member in such a large, smooth functioning museum. Given the opportunity, I would most definitely go back".
-Heather Payne, Bath, United Kingdom, Full Year 2013-14
"My favorite part was definitely traveling around New Zealand, especially since the scenery there is amazing".
"Another favorite part would be meeting people from all over the world. I kept a list of countries of where the people I met are from - Poland, Fiji, Norway, Kazakhstan, Russia, Brazil, just to name a few. And even though they speak English in New Zealand, the culture is still different from the States, and it was fun learning all the "Kiwi phrases" that they use (I kept a list of that too).
I really encourage everyone to study abroad for a semester, even though there might be a lot of obstacles in the beginning. In terms of finances, I would suggest saving up before you go - the semester before Auckland, I worked a lot to save money for my plane ticket. I know another student who also worked a lot the year before because he was going to Italy for two semesters. The earlier you start saving, the better."
-Nancy Weng, Auckland, New Zealand, Spring 2010
"One of my favorite memories from studying abroad is the time I finally climbed the bowsprit on the Seamester schooner, the Ocean Star".
"She's an 88-foot sailing boat that we lived on for 40 days, traveling around the Caribbean, and part of living on a boat is showering in the ocean. Every day, we'd soap ourselves up, then jump down off the boat and swim in the water, then climb the rope ladder back up to rinse and dry off. One time, I forgot to lower the rope ladder before jumping in, leaving me stuck in the water to either wait for someone to notice me or to somehow manage to get back up myself. I was never prouder than when I hauled myself all the way up by my arms and sheer grit, via the taut chain suspended below the boat's bowsprit. I had never been good at gym, but living on a boat sure toughens you up!"
-Elise Russell, Seamester, Summer 2008
"Many students studying a natural science assume that they can't study abroad, or that they can't take classes for their major while abroad, but this is not the case anymore".
I was able to take an upper level biology class as well as a pre-med requirement while studying at University College London. It took a little bit of leg work during the semester before I studied abroad, finding a university that offered comparable courses to the two I needed to take (in English), but it was totally worth it. The two courses ended up covering similar material and I did not feel behind at all when I returned to UR. In fact, the British education system requires students to study only one subject throughout their years at university and I found that the courses I took abroad covered some material more extensively. In addition, taking classes in multiple fields makes for a great conversation starter with British students who will find you immediately interesting for doing so. Also, being part of another education system challenges and makes you much more cognizant of your own learning expectations and styles. However, the one thing I value most about my study abroad experience were the people I met. From classmates to professors; flatmates and teammates, going somewhere new exposes you to different types of people. At University College London, the students and faculty are literally from every corner of the globe, giving me a new perspective on anything from cooking to theory in social anthropology. The friends I made in London hailed from totally different backgrounds and experiences and their insights have broadened my thinking and made me feel closer to the global community."
-Gabriel Perreault, London, England, Fall 2009
"While studying abroad may seem like a huge commitment or too much to handle, don't underestimate what your abroad program can do for you".
"CIEE in Prague, Czech Republic set American students up with Czech students who lived in our apartments and dorms. My Czech roommate answered any and all of my questions about navigating the city, the Czech language, cultural differences and everything in between. And while my roommate did help me get around, getting lost and figuring out how to get home by myself in Prague was a great way to get familiar with the city as well as an interesting and rewarding adventure."
-Sara Gotthelf, Prague, Czech Republic, Spring 2010
