MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - The Georgia College & State University men's basketball program and head coach Terry Sellers has announced the signing of Trent Fildes.
Fildes comes to Milledgeville from Miles Community College in Miles City, Mont. where he joins former teammate and current Bobcat Jake Rios (Bozeman, Mont.). Fildes is originally from Adelaide, Australia where he played at Unley High School. In Australia, Trent competed on the South Australian State Under-20 Team (2007).
Fildes averaged 15 points and 6.9 rebounds per game at Miles this past season. He was named First team All-Mon-Dak Conference. Trent made 134-of-249 (.538) field goal attempts and 24-for-70 (.343) three point field goal attempts this season. He also shot 82.8 percent (111-134) from the free throw line. Miles went 19-11 this past season.
"Trent is a 6-foot-5 skilled forward that can play both the small forward and power forward position," said Sellers. "We really like his versatility and his overall shooting ability. Trent can knock down the perimeter jump shot with consistency and will help our team on the boards. We are very excited he has chosen to continue his career here at GCSU."
The Bobcats are fresh off a 22-7 season in 2008-2009. GCSU made a trip back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2006 and had its third 20-win season in the past four years. The Bobcats lose a trio of seniors including Shaun Keaton (2006-09) who was named first team all-conference and First Team National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC)/NCAA All-Southeast Region.

Attorney Robert Franklin
November 23, 2012
For months now we've heard about the "War on Women" that's sometimes called the "Republican War on Women." While close inspection of the claim reveals the WOW to be little more than an election-year bid to keep female voters in the Democratic fold, there is a real war on women and up until this year, it's been bi-partisan. It's called the Violence Against Women Act.
How could VAWA, long touted by the domestic violence establishment as vital to women's welfare, in fact be anti-woman? Let me count the ways.
1. When police are called to the scene of a domestic violence incident, VAWA encourages them to make an arrest whether or not they have probable cause to do so. VAWA funding goes to train police in this mandatory arrest policy, but the result is the opposite of what VAWA advocates imagine. Mandatory arrest policy actually increases a woman's chance of being injured or killed by a domestic partner. Why? In a domestic violence incident, a woman must decide whether to call the police or not. If she does, she knows her husband or boyfriend will be arrested, jailed, charged and ordered to stay away from her, their children and their property. Faced with that, many women opt out of the system, preferring to remain with their partner and try to handle the situation themselves. That increases her chances of injury at his hands. A 2007 study at Harvard found mandatory arrest policies increase a woman's chance of death by an intimate partner by almost 60%.
2. One of the leading causes of injury to women in domestic violence incidents is their own initiation of violence. She hits first and he retaliates with far greater force. Dr. Sandra Stith of Kansas State University has called it "a dramatically more important factor than anything else." Studies conducted for the Centers for Disease Control show about 70% of reciprocal DV to have been initiated by the female partner. Meanwhile, about half of non-reciprocal violence is committed by women. But VAWA is based on the political ideology that men alone commit DV. The unsurprising result is that female perpetrators find it all but impossible to get the treatment they need to stop the behavior that often results in their own injury.
3. If a woman is assaulted by her partner, one of VAWA's "solutions" to her problem is the issuance of a restraining order against him. He'll be ordered to stay away from her, his house, his children, her place of work, etc. But are restraining orders effective at stopping domestic violence? Many studies say they're not and some find they actually increase the likelihood of injury or death. Those studies are corroborated daily by the headlines on domestic violence. The great irony about restraining orders is that they're most effective against men who aren't really a danger to their wives or girlfriends. Contrary to VAWA's ideological assumptions, the vast majority of domestic violence is (a) non-injurious and (b) situational, i.e. unlikely to recur. Men who commit that type of violence are likely to obey a restraining order while those bent on murder are not. After all, if the penalties for homicide don't deter him, will a restraining order?
4. When domestic violence occurs, VAWA prioritizes separating the man from the woman. That's because the political ideology underpinning the act holds that, contrary to massive amounts of social science on the issue, intimate partner violence is a "cycle" than only escalates. But men still tend to be the major breadwinners in families, so, with him gone, women and their children struggle financially. Indeed, the Institute for Women's Policy Research found that single women with children are the most financially stressed people in American society. Median earnings for that group come to barely $23,000 annually, meaning many of those women with children live deeply mired in poverty. As social scientists are coming to realize, single motherhood is one of the most important factors in the widening divide between haves and have-nots. The United States government has no business pushing women toward poverty, but sadly, VAWA does exactly that.
5. VAWA advocates and stakeholders tirelessly promote the shelter system as one of its greatest achievements, but even casual scrutiny reveals serious flaws. Most important is the fact that a woman doesn't have to be a victim of domestic violence to be accepted at a domestic violence shelter. The simple fact is that shelters do little-to-nothing to verify a woman's claim of DV victimization. As one former shelter director said in 2007, "Most persons think of women in an abuse shelter as victims of severe physical abuse, bloodied and broken. In our shelter, however, only about one in 10 women had experienced any kind of physical injury… So the great majority of women were there because they claimed to have been subjected to verbal or psychological abuse. We did not verify the claims of new residents - if the woman answered the questions correctly, we basically believed what she said. There is no question that some women, many of whom were on welfare, were gaming the system to benefit from the many services our shelter provided." With shelters packed with uninjured women, real victims of domestic violence are turned away, about whom we read every day.
If VAWA actually worked to reduce violence against women, all of the above might be defensible, but it doesn't. In fact, domestic violence expert Dr. Angela Moore Parmley of the U.S. Justice Department has said, "We have no evidence to date that VAWA has led to a decrease in the overall levels of violence against women." VAWA promoters themselves implicitly admit as much when, in their drive for ever higher levels of funding, they cite the increasing "epidemic" of domestic violence. If what they were doing worked, would violence levels continually rise?
Subscribe to the NewsWithViews Daily News Alerts!
The truth is that we know a lot about domestic violence. After almost 40 years of research, we have good ideas about what it is, who does it, when and why. We also know how to deal with people in violent relationships. The problem is that VAWA acknowledges none of that. VAWA pours billions of dollars a year into programs that can't reduce violence or protect women for the simple reason that they're based, not on science but on political ideology.
Until we scrap VAWA and replace it with fact-based interventions and treatment, women will continue to suffer at the hands of their intimate partners. Into the bargain, they and their children will continue to lose their loved ones and be dragged toward poverty.
If that's not a War on Women, what is?

Endoscopy in aneurysm surgery
Suche in Medline nach
|28. April 2011
Objective: Surgical clipping remains the most definitive treatment for intracranial aneurysms. The value of endoscopic application during microsurgical procedures is evaluated in a retrospective study.
Methods: One-hundred-eighty aneurysms were microsurgically treated in 124 operations. Three different applications of endoscopic visualization were employed depending on the respective requirements: inspection prior to clipping, clipping under endoscopic view and post-clipping evaluation.
Results: Out of 1380 aneurysms, 292 procedures were done with application of the endoscope. Out of these, a complete data set including video recording of the procedures was available in 180 cases for retrospective evaluation. In these, the endoscope provided a favorable enhancement of the visual field particularly in complex or deeply situated lesions. No adverse effects were observed. Prior to clipping the endoscope was used to gain additional topographic information in 150 of 180 cases (83%). Clipping under endoscopic control was performed in four cases. After clipping, endoscopic inspection was performed in 130 of 180 procedures. Depending on the endoscopic findings, rearrangement of the applied clip or additional clipping was found necessary in 26 of 130 cases (20.0%).
Conclusions: The additional endoscopic enhancement of the visual field provided by the endoscope before, during and after microsurgical aneurysm occlusion may be a safe and effective application to increase the quality of treatment. Although unexpected findings concerning completeness of aneurysm occlusion and compromise of involved vessels could be diminished by endoscopic assessment, a total prevention was not accomplished.

When Navigator Logistics, a forwarding service company in Finland, brought on designer Nigel Payne to update their site, the collaboration resulted in a fresh design full of crisp typography and lively illustrations. "Right from the get-go, I knew the site's illustrations were going to be in a limited color palette, and line-based," said Payne. "I wanted a typeface that paired nicely with the technical blueprint style, but also had a little fun about it. Gotham Rounded felt just a little younger than his older, more sober brother, Gotham."
Payne built the site around a compact palette, using just two weights of our Gotham Rounded ScreenSmart family. Though ScreenSmart fonts are engineered specifically for text sizes, Navigator Logistics uses them with equal success in headline sizes, using CSS letterspacing to manage the fonts' fit, coaxing lovely voices out each style.
The site uses subtle changes in typography, illustration style, and animation to distinguish three discrete sections, presenting an overview, a list of capabilities, and contact details within a single page.
For mobile users, CSS media queries not only reshape the grid and eliminate discretionary details, but introduce buttons for calling the company directly — a smart use of the medium, and a thoughtful detail for users. —NW

Don't despair, eat. It's probably not the most healthy thing to say, but food is a balm for me, especially carbohydrates. I am drained by humanity. People are disappointing and taxing, rueful and mean, bullying and boring – this is just the truth. There are those with potential to be heavenly however, so these few and far between but fabulous friends keep me in the game. And the rest of the time, I just eat and keep going.
Here is my most disgusting and shameful treat, one I turn to when there is no one and nothing else. Perhaps it should be kept under glass for me with instructions to shatter it when all becomes too much to bear, but honestly it doesn't keep well, and you're better off if at least the perishable parts of this meal are reasonably fresh.
You need a good, thick cinnamon raisin bagel to start, sawn in half but not toasted, the dense, airless bready interior raw and soft, the glossy chewy exterior sticky and studded with raisins and cinnamon. Try to cut it evenly, that is all I ask, as for whatever reason, this vastly improves things. Do it with a good knife, possibly with a sharply serrated edge, as bagel injuries are common among non chef types like myself. Bread and knives can conspire hurt you so don't be unwise.
Take the raw halves of the bagel and slather generously with cream cheese. I do prefer the kind sold in bricks. It's dairy density mimics the bready density and might as well go big with it. I will make the cream cheese layer almost as thick as the bagel. I mean what I say.
On a plate, arrange the bagel halves prettily and then open any size doritos you like. i tend to be a big grab type of girl. Also, I wouldn't do a cool ranch or alternative flavor doritos for this recipe. Nacho cheese works best, in my experience. Pour the entire contents of the bag over the cream cheese so that the cheese powder coats the cheese making a kind of compound cream cheese. If you want, you can also drizzle a bit of gulden's brown mustard onto this, but I generally don't do this. Eat as a kind of dip at first, using the doritos to scoop up cream cheese in efficient mouthfuls. Then when there is nothing else that can be done, make a sandwich of the bagel halves and shove additional chips into the deepest center. It makes for a crisp, cheesy surprise with each bite. I know this sounds really fairly disgusting, but oh my god it's delicious. There is something to the pairing of nacho cheese and raisin, the odd mole note of cinnamon, the fatty whiteness of cream cheese and the comforting quality of bread baked in circles. It's a basic and revolting childish sort of snack that has little nutritional value and no true comestible merit but how good it is and how much I have needed these flavors and textures in hard times.
Make no substitutions. Its got to be this, or nothing.

A new investigation by the South Florida Sun Sentinel has found nearly 800 instances of Florida police officers driving between 90 and 130 miles an hour on public highways.
CBS News notes a 2011 Department of Transportation study that reported car crashes as the number one killer of police officers, so this isn't just a problem for those of us in the way of speeding cop cars.
Florida police departments have been aware of the problem for years, but punishments are usually extremely light.
Speaking to the Sun Sentinel, Miami PD Major Delrish Moss described the fundamental cause for outrage from regular citizens:
We write speeding tickets. ... It's not very prudent to be out violating the very laws that we enforce.

Technology firms dominated Thomson Reuters' 2012 list of the World's Top 100 Most Innovative Organisations, with the semiconductor industry leading the march, but UK companies were noticeably lacking from the list.
Big names in the computer hardware industry such as IBM, HP, Hitachi and Fujitsu all made the top 100, as well as software firms Microsoft and Symantec. Apple, Alctael-Lucent and Ericsson all appeared in the telecommunication category, with Google representing media and internet search.
However, the real star of the show was the semiconductor industry, with 18 out of the top 100 falling into this category - a 29 percent increase over 2011. Companies include AMD, Intel, Qualcomm, TE Connectivity, SanDisk and Texas Instruments, among others. UK-based ARM was a noticable absentee.
According to Reuters, the Top 100 methodology, by virtue of its criteria, favours fast-moving, hyper-competitive industries such as computer hardware and semiconductors, where product lifecycles are short and advancements in technology are demanded by users.
"That is not to say, however, that other industries are not also innovating," said David Brown, managing director, Thomson Reuters IP Solutions.
"R&D spend in pharmaceutical/chemical-focused industries is among the top in the world. Many organisations in these sectors are extremely innovative, yet they adhere to a different innovation model."
There was a noticeable lack of any UK companies on the list. The US led, with 47 organisations on this list. Asia has the next highest, with 32, comprising 25 from Japan and 7 from South Korea. Europe had just 21 honorees, with the largest representation coming from France (13).
The Thomson Reuters 2012 Top 100 Global Innovator methodology is based on four principle criteria: overall patent volume, patent grant success rate, global reach of the portfolio and patent influence as evidenced by citations.
"Innovation is the foundation for economic prosperity and technological advancement," said Brown. "Our Top 100 Global Innovator methodology demonstrates the insight that can be gleaned from the analysis of patent data and confirms the fact that companies focused on innovating drive growth and financial success."

- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced, fire-roasted tomatoes
- 1 1/2 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium beef broth
- 1 pound small potatoes, preferably fingerlings
- 1 medium onion, roughly chopped (about 1 cup)
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and roughly sliced (about 1 cup)
- 1/4 cup jarred peperoncini, sliced

Science fiction and space physics will collide at the Enzian Theater next month as part of a prestigious national program that hopes to motivate the next generation of scientists through the arts.
The Maitland cinema is among 20 independent theaters across the country to receive a grant for the Science on Screen series funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and administered by the Coolidge Corner Theatre, both groups announced this week.
The series pairs film screenings with discussions by science and technology experts. Each film serves as a jumping-off point for the speaker to explore a related science topic in a way that engages popular-culture audiences.
"The Sloan Foundation has been working for years to use film to advance public understanding of science," said Cheryl White of the Coolidge in Brookline, Mass. "They have done amazing things."
For its part, the Enzian will pair "Europa Report," a space-travel sci-fi thriller, with a talk about the search for extraterrestrial life by Lewis Duncan, president of Rollins College and a space physicist. The film, which came out in the spring, did not play Orlando theatrically but got good reviews, said Matthew Curtis, Enzian's programming director. That event will be Nov. 16.
Next up will be Steven Spielberg's "A.I. Artificial Intelligence" on Jan. 18. The 2001 film features Haley Joel Osment as a robot boy. Dr. Kenneth Stanley of the University of Central Florida will offer a demonstration about artificial intelligence.
The third and final film in the series will screen in the spring. Enzian general manager Hollie Mahadeo said the theater hopes that movie will be "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," a 2007 drama directed by Julian Schnabel. The true story focuses on an editor who suffers a stroke, and Mahadeo said the film offered a lot of options for discussion.
The Enzian had applied for a couple of years for the $7,000 grant before getting it this year, Mahadeo said.
"It's a really big deal for us," she said.
To win the grant, White said, the Maitland theater had identified three or four strong potential speakers.
"We want to see how they make a connection between film and speaker," said White, who manages the Science on Screen program and handles national grant administration. "The speaker is the educational aspect."
She also cited the theater's experience in producing special events.
"We look at the quality of staff. We look at the local science and technology community and see if they [the theater] have an understanding of resources in the community," White said.
The Science on Screen series began in 2005, and the Sloan Foundation provided a grant to expand it nationally in 2011, White said.
Past series offerings have ranged from baseball to marine biology. Ann Arbor's Michigan Theatre paired a University of Michigan physicist discussing the physics of baseball with a screening of "Moneyball." And Coolidge Corner Theatre screened "It Came From Beneath the Sea," the 1955 creature feature about a mammoth octopus attacking San Francisco, with an expert's talk on cephalopod biology.

March 12, 2010
The UC Santa Barbara women's basketball team saw its season come to an end on Friday afternoon at the Big West Tournament, the fifth-seeded Gauchos falling to No. 1 seed UC Davis in the semifinals, 63-53. The defeat marks the first time since the 1996 tournament that UCSB will not play in the final game.
The season-long turnover bug caught up to the Gauchos again on Friday, after UCSB had controlled the tempo and the ball in its first two victories of the Big West Tournament. UCSB committed 29 turnovers in the game - including 19 in the first half - yet still remained close to UC Davis throughout.
Meagan Williams, who finished with a game-high 17 points, had a midcourt steal and layup that cut the Aggies' lead to 53-51 with 3:21 to go. However UC Davis scored three straight baskets and from there the Gauchos were forced to foul, ending UCSB's hopes of making it to Saturday's championship game.
"I'm really proud of my players and the team they've become," head coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. "They taught me what it means to believe in something. We were 0-4 and people were starting to question us. ... That would have been hard for me if I didn't come to work everyday and see this group as they were so resilient and nothing but positive and nothing but a great work ethic and that's something I'm going to remember for the rest of my life."
The Gauchos finish their season 15-17 while UC Davis improves to 21-9. While UCSB extended its streak of a winning conference record for the 20th consecutive season, the Gauchos finished with an overall record under .500 for the first time since the 1989-90 season.
UCSB battled back in the second half, after trailing at halftime by 14. A 17-5 run brought the Gauchos within a basket after Williams' steal. In that run Chris Spencer hit a 3-pointer while Williams had three baskets. Mekia Valentine, who had her third straight double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds, made a layup and Ariana Gnekow drilled a 3-pointer before Williams' steal and layin.
Unfortunately for the Gauchos, they couldn't hold the momentum.
The men's team, seeded No. 1, will battle UC Davis on Friday at 6:30 p.m. New this year, UCSB Athletics is making it easier than ever for fans to follow both the men's and women's basketball teams.

Note: The following reports are in Portable Document Format (PDF). You will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the PDF file.
The following reports are for the 2005 Market Share of Property & Casualty Insurers licensed to do business in California. The data are from the National Association of Insurance Commissioner's (NAIC) database, for California licensed companies only. The information is the same as reported on the Exhibit of Premiums and Losses (Statutory Page 14), also known as the State Page, of the insurer's Annual Statement. Furthermore, only companies actively doing business in California (with Direct Written Premium greater than $0) are included. The reports are "by line of business" on an individual company basis and on a group basis, and are sorted alphabetically by company (or group) name, and by their written premium. The Top 25 Groups' report shows their breakdown of business written by concentration level, which is defined by the percentages of premium written in 2005 by line of business with respect to that group's total business written. These Top 25 Groups represent 77.7% of California's property and casualty industry.
We have added the Historical Loss & LAE Ratios of the Top 20 Insurers (1996 to 2005) in California for three lines of business: Homeowners, PPA Liability, and PPA Physical Damage. In these reports, LAE means Loss Adjustment Expense and PPA means Private Passenger Auto.

text: Hi All - Got a niggling little problem here ... We have an application (nonmem) in fortran that needs to compile a generated /f file when it's run on the nodes. Unfortunately, that requires access to more than just the libs that are copied over with setup_libs ... I've been futzing around with node_up, /etc/exports, /etc/beowulf/fstab and so on to get the nodes to nfs mount /usr, and it's almost working. The nodes come up, and are marked as up no problem. I just can't get to them. Always get a BProc move failure for any bpsh command. Anyone else munged with the libs like this at all ? Dang. I've leaving for a week tomorrow morning, and leaving here in an hour, and the researcher isn't a Linux person, so if I can't get this working now, he's idle (at least with this problem) for a week :( -- Dean Carpenter Principal Architect Purdue Pharma dean.carpenter at pharma.com deano at areyes.com 94TT :)

A little music can go a long way in blocking out a loud coworker or a beeping fax machine, but a new online streaming service claims its choice of tunes does more — improving listeners' focus and productivity.
Focus@Will, which has been soliciting users for free beta tests since late December, offers eight channels, including classical, jazz and ambient noises. Focus@Will staffers and UCLA researchers curate selections and and order them in such a way that the sound relaxes the limbic system in the listener's brain. As a result, the company estimates, its selections can help people focus for the duration of 100-minutes sessions — quadruple the typical 20-minute period you might be able to focus without music. "It's like the music version of [attention deficit disorder drug] Adderall," says chief music officer John Vitale. Most people listening to music at work pick the wrong kind, experts say, with lyrics and tempos that distract.
Studies have shown that music can increase work output and have other effects on body reactions. Runners often use specially chosen music to train, using faster tempos as a trigger to speed up, says Matt Wallaert, a behavioral psychologist with Microsoft. "As far as we can tell, the humn body has a tendancy to fall into rhythm," he says. Users shouldn't necessarily expect to see a revolutionary jump in their productivity, he cautions, but for a free service, it's worth the experiment. (Vitale says Focus@Will has been "supereffective" for two-thirds of users so far.)
Right now, Focus@Will is free. Down the line, users can expect to see a variety of subscription plans, with paid users gaining access to extra features, Vitale says. Free users may encounter ads, but that has yet to be determined, he says. A mobile app is also in the works.

Grief is finding bits of Tim Tams in your bed
even though you haven't slept there for two days.
I want to move to a place where they will laugh at my dingo accent.
Pine needles pressed to cold cheeks we have read too many picture books but
also not enough. Drive slowly tonight there is a lot of water on the road I'm not sure
there is such a thing as an afterlife. Knee-deep in wild grass we walk in each
other's footsteps the place we are going is not far from here. Coffins
are much lighter than what you think. Falling in and out
of love is like breathing: you don't notice it
until something goes horribly wrong.

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Chen Ying (陳瑩) — a Puyuma Aborigine — expressed concern yesterday that proposed amendments to the Local Government Act (地方制度法) may harm Aborigines' political rights.
"The current version of the act stipulates that all heads of 'mountain Aboriginal townships' must be 'mountain Aborigines.' But if counties and cities are combined and upgraded as direct-administrated municipalities, such legal advantages for Aborigines will no longer exist," she said during an Internal Administration Committee meeting at the legislature to review proposed amendments to the act.
Laws categorize the Aboriginal regions, which cover 55 townships, into 30 "mountain Aboriginal townships" and 25 "plains Aboriginal townships," and stipulate that only "mountain Aborigines" can be mountain Aboriginal township mayors in order to ensure political participation.
However, Chen is concerned about recent proposals from the Cabinet, the DPP legislative caucus and several individual lawmakers across party lines to amend the Local Government Act.
Most of these proposals would allow counties and cities to merge so that they can pass the population threshold of 1.25 million to be upgraded to the status of direct-administrated municipalities.
Only Taipei and Kaohsiung cities have this status now, which gives them a greater degree of autonomy and bigger budgets.
So far, Taipei, Taichung, Nantou, Tainan, Kaohsiung and Pingtung cities and counties have expressed interest in becoming direct-administrated municipalities, whether individually or after mergers between city and county.
"When counties become direct-administrated municipalities, mountain Aboriginal townships — such as Wulai Township [烏來] in Taipei County and Heping Township [和平] in Taichung County — will become administrative districts," Chen said.
"City district heads are appointed by mayors and there's no regulation that they should be Aborigines," she said.
Alang Qalavangan, an aide to Chen, said that if administrative upgrades happen in all counties that are interested in it, "15 townships — which is half of the total number of mountain Aboriginal townships — would become districts in cities."
"This would be a disaster and a step backward for Aboriginal autonomy," he said.
The director of the Council of Indigenous Peoples' [CIP] Planning Department, Wang Chiu-i (汪秋一), said that the council had yet to consider it but promised that it would try to find a solution.
While Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Aboriginal lawmakers supported Chen on the issue, they disagreed with her about breaking the boundary between mountain and plains Aborigines.
"People move around a lot nowadays," Chen said.
"It's ridiculous to not allow a plains Aborigine who lives in a mountain Aboriginal township to vote for an Aboriginal candidate just because he or she is not a mountain Aborigine," she said.
"It's equally unreasonable that a mountain Aborigine who moves to a non-mountain Aborigine township be banned from voting for a plains Aboriginal candidate," she said.
However, Aboriginal lawmakers Kung Wen-chi (孔文吉), Yang Jen-fu (楊仁福) and Chien Tung-ming (簡東明) of the KMT disagreed.
If mountain Aborigines could vote or run in a non-mountain Aboriginal electoral district, it would affect plains Aborigines' rights of political participation, they said.

Parents today contend not only with yesterday's worries — drug abuse, bullying, teenage sex and delinquency – but new challenges. The digital age has introduced adult predators and other online hazards, and body-altering decorating such as tattoos and piercing's are popular temptations, says James G. Wellborn, a clinical psychologist with 18 years of experience working with parents and teens.
"The teenage years are unlike any other in a person's life – it's a unique in-between period from childhood to adulthood, and it's helpful to remember that problems during this time are actually normal," says Wellborn, author of the new book "Raising Teens in the 21st Century: A Practical Guide to Effective Parenting," (www.drjameswellborn.com). "But teens still require guidance, encouragement and good ideas to see them through to adulthood."
A universally admired trait, spanning all cultures, religion and philosophy, is compassion. A truly compassionate teen will inevitably have a host of other positive qualities, Wellborn says, including patience, understanding, sensitivity, tolerance, intuition and more. He says parents can encourage compassion in the following ways:
• Model it: Compassion is largely learned, so be aware of how you act around your children. How did you respond to the request for money from that panhandler on the street? What comment did you make behind his back, in the presence of your kid? What did you say about that idiot driver who just cut you off in traffic? Your teens are watching and listening.
• Notice it: Point out examples of compassion that occur around you. It comes in many forms. Relevant to our daily lives are the people who quietly, and without recognition, help others in need, including volunteers of all types. Make a game of identifying instances of compassionate deeds you've witnessed.
• Teach it: Compassion has to be taught, so be prepared to provide direct instruction on how your teen needs to think and act in order to develop that quality. One important component empathy. If your teens can't see things from another's perspective, it is difficult for them to appreciate what that person is going through. Help them learn to walk a mile in their shoes.
• Anticipate it: Character can be fostered by projecting moral strength into their future. In this way, you will be subtly shaping the adult they are working to become. Say things like: "By the time you're an adult, you will be such a person of strong character. That'll be really cool."
• Guilt it: A personal value system serves as a means of accountability to oneself (and your family and community). This begins with the value system parents promote in their kids. If they fulfill the promise of personal values it is a source of justifiable pride. Violating personal values should result in guilt for not doing what's right and shame for letting other people down. Parents need to help their kids along with this.
• Repeat it: Once is not enough when it comes to character. Find every opportunity to work it into the conversation. Using all of the strategies mentioned above, you will be able to work character issues into every possible situation in a remarkably diverse number of ways. You need to have mentioned character so often – at least once every couple of days – and in so many different forms that they are sick of hearing about it by the time they graduate from high school.
