Bangladesh: Trained Volunteer Leaders Initiate Change in Their Communities
Update to the Global Board
(October 2008)
Executive Summary
The main distinctions of this reporting period in comparison with the previous six months are as follows:
- Comprehensive surveys were conducted in 30 unions (clusters of villages) to identify peoples' needs, as a guide for taking necessary actions.
- A dynamic web module for archiving candidates' profiles was prepared.
- A movement for increasing literacy and the quality of education was launched in collaboration with distinguished persons.
- In partnership with government projects, a social movement was launched in 11 unions in the Nagaon district to improve hygiene, sanitation and water supply situation.
The principal objectives of the current period were:
- Deliver animator training to 11,700 social activists through 161 four-day training courses, special training to 550 grassroots women for building their leadership capacity, special five-day residential training for elected representatives of 11 union parishads (UPs) (local government bodies), youth leadership training to 1,300 youth leaders, skills development training to 1,300 women and men on creating self-employment opportunities, and a Training of Trainers (TOT) to 50 volunteers trainers.
- Conduct comprehensive baseline survey by animators in over 30 unions so that they can identify their problems and thereby take actions as needed.
- Empower and inspire the animators to form social units in The Hunger Project-Bangladesh's working unions so that they follow the ten steps that The Hunger Project-Bangladesh has identified which will bring overall improvement in the quality of life of the people.
- Carry out a massive campaign to empower voters by providing personal information of candidates running for office so that the voters can make informed decisions and public opinion is created in favor of honest and competent candidates who seek electoral and political reforms.
The achievement of these objectives is satisfactory, although in some cases, targets were not fully met.
The Hunger Project-Bangladesh is moving towards the decentralization of its office set-up, decision-making authority, planning, implementation, supervision, monitoring, and documentation through the restructuring its organizational structure. This will give new momentum to the work of The Hunger Project-Bangladesh.
In the recent 2008 elections, in four City Corporations and nine Municipalities, Shujan (Citizens for Good Governance) organized public "Meet the Candidate" events (see photo above) to bring all candidates on one stage to address the voters and distributed posters and leaflet prepared with information on the candidates. In this event, all mayoral candidates signed written declarations that they would combat corruption as well as make an annual disclosure of their income and wealth.
Details on Progress of Activities
Completed comprehensive baseline survey of unions.
- Collected data on socioeconomic conditions of people from 30 unions and completed the data entry.
Developed the leadership capacity of grassroots women.
- Delivered special training to 418 grassroots women leaders through eight courses on gender, leadership and women's empowerment issues. To date, 2000 women leaders have received training.
- We arranged 97 monthly follow-ups and training sessions in which about 4,000 women took part.
- An annual conference of women leaders was also held, where 1,000 leaders attended from all over the country.
Increased awareness on prevention of early marriage, dowry and violence against women as well as ensuring the women rights.
- Trained women leaders and animators, organized 50 workshops, 235 courtyard meetings and other such gatherings, in which about 15,000 people participated.
- These leaders effectively stopped 108 early marriages, arranged 51 dowry-free marriages, provided legal support to 99 oppressed women, and settled 117 family disputes through arbitration.
New group of trained volunteers
- Provided four-day animator training to 9,550 social activists (5,730 men and 3,830 women), with the cumulative number of animators at around 116,611.
Public opinion created in favor of honest and competent candidates and electoral and political reform.
- Four roundtable discussion meetings, 13 citizen dialogues, about 100 workshops and meetings to exchange views, about 20 exchange views meetings with journalists, two election Olympiads, and 13 meeting with candidates were arranged. Thousands of people participated in theses events.
Increased literacy centers and ensured quality education in institutions.
- Youth volunteers started 20 literacy centers, where 400 illiterate adult have enrolled, and carried out meetings and campaigns at ten schools to improve the quality of education. Teachers, students, guardians, and local elites attended these events.
Involved underprivileged people in Participatory Action Research (PAR).
- PAR activities extended to two new unions, and held two workshops which trained 60 animators to be PAR facilitators.
- PAR programs are now running in 17 unions and the total number of facilitators has reached 263.
- During the period 15 gonoshangatons (PAR organizations) formed. The cumulative number of organizations is 216, the total number of members 4,996, and their savings are now TK.16,21,120.00.
Formed local organizations.
- A total of 105 local organizations were formed by animators and women leaders.
- 2,100 members (675 men and 1,425 women) were involved during this period.
Developed youth leaders.
- Trained 1,200 youth leaders (700 men and 500 women) during the period.
Formed social units at unions where The Hunger Project-Bangladesh works to strengthen UP-led mobilization focused on women.
- Social units such as groups of representatives of Shujan, volunteer trainers, women leaders, Youth Ending Hunger (YEH), National Girl Child Day Advocacy Forum, UP resource people and other core groups are being formed in 30 unions where baseline surveys have been completed.
Created skilled, resourceful people by providing skill development training.
- During the period, skills trainings were given to 928 people (355 men and 573 women) on mushroom cultivation, block batik, fish cultures, and tailoring. About 300 of them are now engaged in some kind of income-generating activity.
Increased awareness on improving hygiene, sanitation and safe drinking of water.
- In this period, 19 special animator trainings were arranged, which focused on community- led total sanitation (CLTS). 1,754 people participated, including all elected representatives, local elites, school teachers, religious leaders and farmers. These trained people started workshops, rallies and courtyard meetings for total sanitation.
Increased advocacy and awareness on contemporary socio-political issues through a media campaign.
- During the reporting period, 41 special television (electronic media) programs named Jonatar Katha,Vabber Bishoy and Shikher Chalchitra (state of Education) were recorded and telecast by Bangladesh Television. Thousands of people watched these programs and they became very popular with the viewers.
Trained volunteer trainers.
- In this period, TOTs were imparted to 50 newly trained animators who are now working as volunteer trainers. To date the total number of volunteer trainers is 506.
Objectives Still in Progress
Empower and inspire the animators in order to form social units in all unions where The Hunger Project-Bangladesh works so that they follow the ten necessary steps to bring overall improvement in the quality of life of the people.
All of the social units are not formed yet in each of the unions where The Hunger Project-Bangladesh works for the following reasons:
- More presence and involvement from the staff is needed;
- Volunteers/animators have not yet become the critical force needed to behave as self-generating leaders;
- Political environment remains conflicting rather than congenial;
- The tenure of the union council has already expired.Recent Innovations
Recent Innovations
Candidate profiles
To disseminate personal accounts of candidates running in local and national-level public elections among the voters, The Hunger Project-Bangladesh has developed a web-based dynamic module for archiving their profiles that is available to all via the Internet. This is so that voters can cast a well-informed vote in favor of the right candidate, and so that researchers, academics, media and interested groups can collect data for their own professional purposes. This profiling is the first of its kind and a new idea in Bangladesh.
Adult literacy movement
To solve the adult literacy problem, The Hunger Project-Bangladesh is introducing a method which is easy to process, low cost and volunteer-based. Though this method, an illiterate person will be able to write, read, and make primary calculations within six weeks.
Monitoring and Evaluation
To track the activities of volunteers and staff, The Hunger Project-Bangladesh has developed a new monitoring system. A team in the Dhaka office is responsible for monitoring and evaluation. They analyze the monthly plans and achievements of volunteer trainers, women leaders, youth leaders and staff to determine whether their activities and monthly plans are consistent with the ten steps. They then provide them with feedback and recommendations. At the regional level, the regional coordinator also plays a role as monitor of all activities. This system of evaluation will bring forth many improvements:
- The plan will become more focused and relevant to the ten steps;
- Union-based actions will become more focused and achieve better results; and
- Volunteers will become more dynamic.
Plan for the next six months:
- Intend to start the web-based tracking of all the actions of volunteer trainers and women and youth leaders.
During the reporting period, The Hunger Project-Bangladesh has maintained a partnership for two years with HYSAWA Fund Company, a government project focusing on the social movement approach to improve hygiene practice, sanitation and the water supply situation. Under this partnership, work is being carried out in 11 unions in the Nagaon district. All of the UPs are also partners committed to this project. Through this project, The Hunger Project-Bangladesh wants to change the quality of life of the people of Bangladesh and hopes to become the model for such improvements.
The Hunger Project-Bangladesh also developed partnership with SPANDAN-B and AGAMI, associations of expatriate Bangladeshi, who conduct relief and rehabilitation work. Under this project, four schools and one library, which had been damaged by the cyclone Sidr, are under reconstruction. Through implementation of this project, hundreds of underprivileged children will get the opportunity to receive formal education.
In addition to its partnerships with many civil society organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), such as Action Aid, Manusher Jonno, and Plan, The Hunger Project-Bangladesh is a member of the National Girl Child Advocacy Forum (NGCAF). Through this forum, various activities are being carried out for achieving women's empowerment, establishing girl children's rights and promoting change in the mind-set towards women.
In-country Funding Opportunities
We collected funds for NGCAF and SHUJAN. These funds were received from individuals as well as businesses in order to carry out campaigning for electoral and political reforms. We also collected funds from member organizations of the NGCAF, such as Caritas, Nari Maitree, Action Aid, Manusher Jonno, Plan Bangladesh, and ASF to organize the celebration of National Girl Child Day including workshops, rallies, and print posters and leaflets and to run the art competitions. In addition, we collected funds from animator trainees as a registration fee. This local funding will continue in the future, however they remain insufficient to fully implement the program of SHUJAN and NGCAF.
Broader Awareness of The Hunger Project/Media coverage
We have an agreement with a state-run electronic media outlet called Bangladesh Television. During the reporting period, Bangladesh Television recorded and telecast six episodes of Vabbabar Bishoy and six episodes of Janatar Katha, which covered local and national issues. These episodes were broadcast in order to build mass awareness on the political and social arena. Country Director Dr. Badiul Alam Majumdar was both moderator and presenter of these programs. He also wrote different articles on important contemporary political and social issues, which were published in the national print media. We have maintained good relations with the leading print and electronic media outlets at both the national and local level. They regularly publish the activities and news of The Hunger Project-Bangladesh. In recently held city corporation elections, two leading national dailies and one electronic media covered our activities.
Future Plans
Major objectives for the next six months:
- National and Upazila (district-level) elections are scheduled to be held in December 2008. A massive campaign (including roundtable discussion meetings, citizen dialogues, publication of posters and leaflets, comparative statements of the competing candidates, and projection meetings) will be carried out so that people can elect honest and competent candidates who are dedicated to the well-being of the people. Post-election activities will also be undertaken.
- Based on our HYSAWA project, intensive and holistic programs (like animator trainings, skills development trainings, PAR, conducting surveys, literacy movement, women's empowerment and ensuring transparency and accountability) will be implemented in 11 unions of Patnitola Upazila for socioeconomic development. A similar project will be launched in partnership with BRAC development institute (an institute of BRAC University).
- National Girl Child Day will be celebrated in 700 places all over the country in partnership with the government and Forum members' organizations.
- The tenth reunion of animators will be organized in January/February 2009.
- New activities will be carried out in 30 unions based on findings of our survey reports.
- The new organizational structure including regional set-up will be completed.
- Animator training will be given to 10,000 people. Social activists, special leadership and monthly follow-up trainings will be given to 600 women; youth leadership trainings to 1,500 youth activists; skills development training to 1,500 young men and women; and Participatory Action Research (PAR) foundation training to 100 people. Twelve PAR workshops will be arranged.
Profile of a Leader
Shilpi Akter (in green on right of photo), 25, is a young woman of Maisadi village. Her father, Abdul Halim Bapari, is a jute mill worker by profession. Overcoming all obstacles, she passed higher secondary school, but could not proceed for higher education as she was forced to marry. Despite this, she educated herself, taking lessons from society and her experience. A spirit of philanthropy awoke in her during the animator training. The leadership section of the animator training and the three-day special women's training changed her thinking and ideas. Women-related issues that were raised in her training courses also greatly shifted her mind-set. She found herself a different woman and took an oath to serve the community.
She realized that without education, it is not possible for people to overcome their socio-economic problems, so she started a non-formal education center where about 50 men and women enrolled. They can now read. She arranged many courtyard meetings bringing the men and women together to discuss gender-related issues. As a result, family disputes have decreased greatly among the participants. She also arranged to send 30 children to school by convincing their parents of the benefit of education. She formed an organization of animators called Ever Green and collected savings. Through this organization, her dream is to build her village as a model village for all others.

|Slip rate and slip magnitudes of past earthquakes along the Bogd left-lateral strike-slip fault (Mongolia)
|Magali Rizza 1Jean-françois RITZ 1
|We carried out morphotectonic studies along the left-lateral strike-slip Bogd Fault, the principal structure involved in the Gobi-Altay earthquake of 1957 December 4 (published magnitudes range from 7.8 to 8.3). The Bogd Fault is 260 km long and can be subdivided into five main geometric segments, based on variation in strike direction. West to East these segments are, respectively: the West Ih Bogd (WIB), The North Ih Bogd (NIB), the West Ih Bogd (WIB), the West Baga Bogd (WBB) and the East Baga Bogd (EBB) segments. Morphological analysis of offset streams, ridges and alluvial fans-particularly well preserved in the arid environment of the Gobi region-allows evaluation of late Quaternary slip rates along the different faults segments. In this paper, we measure slip rates over the past 200 ka at four sites distributed across the three western segments of the Bogd Fault. Our results show that the left-lateral slip rate is similar to 1 mm yr(-1) along the WIB and EIB segments and similar to 0.5 mm yr(-1) along the NIB segment. These variations are consistent with the restraining bend geometry of the Bogd Fault.;Our study also provides additional estimates of the horizontal offset associated with the 1957 earthquake along the western part of the Bogd rupture, complementing previously published studies. We show that the mean horizontal offset associated with the 1957 earthquake decreases progressively from 5.2 m in the west to 2.0 m in the east, reflecting the progressive change of kinematic style from pure left-lateral strike-slip faulting to left-lateral-reverse faulting. Along the three western segments, we measure cumulative displacements that are multiples of the 1957 coseismic offset, which may be consistent with a characteristic slip. Moreover, using these data, we re-estimate the moment magnitude of the Gobi-Altay earthquake at M-w 7.78-7.95.;Combining our slip rate estimates and the slip distribution per event we also determined a mean recurrence interval of similar to 2500-5200 yr for past earthquakes along the different segments of the western Bogd Fault. This suggests that the three western segments of the Bogd Fault and the Gurvan Bulag thrust fault (a reverse fault bounding the southern side of the Ih Bogd range that ruptured during the 1957 earthquake) have similar average recurrence times, and therefore may have ruptured together in previous earthquakes as they did in 1957. These results suggest that the western part of the Bogd Fault system, including the Gurvan Bulag thrust fault, usually behaves in a 'characteristic earthquake' mode.

Another twist in the ongoing saga of embattled Assemblyman Steven Brooks.
Thursday night at a Scheels sporting goods store in Sparks, Brooks attempted to buy a rifle.
He was denied immediate purchase because the Nevada Department of Public Safety requires a background check taking three business days.
But it certainly caught the attention of law enforcement in the northern part of the state.
"Certainly the fact that there is information that he attempted to buy a weapon is something that concerns me," Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong said. "At this point in time, we feel like we have our arms around it, and the threat level has diminished somewhat, but it's a situation we're staying on top of very carefully."
In a phone conversation with FOX5, Brooks said he wanted to see if his second amendment rights were taken away, but that he didn't pay the $25 background check fee.
Brooks said, "I'm a fool, but I'm not a damn fool. I know what I can or can't do."
FOX5 Political Analyst Mitch Fox says the committee determining whether Brooks is fit to serve has to proceed with caution.
"They want to make sure that their I's are dotted and T's are crossed legally," Fox said. "And as they pursue this in the select committee, they have to be very, very certain that they've got the evidence, that's it's empirically based."
When asked if he would defend himself to the committee, Brooks called it a "kangaroo court" saying he'll wait to see them in a real court.
Brooks added that he's being unfairly harassed and that he is in fear for his life.
He refused to talk about his health, either physical or mental, and then abruptly ended the phone call.
The investigative committee does not have another hearing set because they are giving the legal team time to produce an airtight case to ward off legal challenges.
Should the select committee recommend expulsion, it would have to be approved by a two-thirds vote of the entire assembly body.

Spanking: Cruising for a Bruising
If the 43-year-old dad of nine kids is found guilty, he faces three years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines.
A teacher of one of the boy's siblings contacted Social Services about the alleged abuse. An emergency room report submitted as evidence in the trial said the boy showed signed of faint bruising on his buttocks but ultimately appeared to be in no pain. What's more, the boy has said in his testimony he deserved to be punished by his father. "He gave me a chance to tell the truth and I just kept lying."
Apparently, spanking in the Barnett household is standard procedure. In solidarity with her father, Barnett's 21-year-old daughter stood outside the courthouse holding a sign that said "Thank you for spanking me Dad." Perhaps the Barnett kids are OK with spanking -- or maybe they're scared of dad's wrath if they don't support his practices. Some child discipline experts, however, are unequivocally against the physical method of punishment.
In his book "The Kazdin Method for Parenting the Defiant Child," Yale professor Allen E. Kazdin writes, "More than one-third of all parents who start out with relatively mild punishments end up crossing the line drawn by the state to define child abuse: hitting with an object, harsh and cruel hitting, and so on."
Some parents might feel as if their hands are tied. If timeouts don't work -- how can a child be effectively disciplined without -- at least sometimes -- resorting to physical punishment? And what happens if (hypothetically) you grab your child's hand -- a little too hard -- to prevent them from touching something you've told them a gazillion times not to touch and you leave a mark? Could you then be accused of child abuse?
Hmmm … I seem to recall a time when parents always spanked, when schools used a paddle … and there were a lot less violent crazy kids out there. Kids were respectful (for the most part) and knew how to behave and be responsible. It seems the more we concern ourselves with this stuff the more we are hurting our kids. Personally, I don't spank. I never needed to as time outs (and now the dreaded punishment of writing multiplication tables) have always worked. But I support this father and his right to spank - and let me clarify that SPANK, not hit.
When I was in school the teachers use to wash a BAD kids mouth out with soap. The principle would hit(spank) kids with a paddle and some teachers would pull a child's ear if he/she were not listening in class. I was also slap on the tops of my hands and was also made to stand in the corner.
The pendulum has swung in the other direction in the last decade and now a parent can not disipline their children.
If the nurse at the hospital said there child wasn't in pain from his spanking then the state should stay out of it. If our children do not get disiplined then they grow up to be serial killers and little assholes with no direction. They create havic on society and never know the word no.
I believe as long as the parent is not beating their children then let them alone to try to raise good and decent people who will turn into good and decent adults (HOPEFULLY!).
This is what is wrong with kids these days. There is nothing wrong with spanking your child. I was spanked when I was a kid and it didn't traumatize me, nor would I consider it abuse of any kind. I am thankful that my parents spanked me and my children are disciplined in a variety of ways, including being spanked. If more parents disciplined their children there wouldn't be so many disrespectful, lazy, the-world-should-bow-down-to-me teenagers walking around. This man should be applauded for wanting his children to grow up to be respectable adults.
I think what he did was wrong. He spanked him repeatedly with an object-enough to leave bruises! HELLO- it's abuse and that is wrong! This father is bigger and therefore, has more force than this 12 year old child. That is too harsh! The punishment did not fit the crime.
This is in direct constrast with the article yesterday regarding the Mom who gave her daughters cigarettes and allowed her to drink…
Now who do you think will grow up to be a better member of society? The cigarette, drinking and promiscious girl or the boy who realized he did wrong and won't do it again?
This is ridiculous.
I agree 100% & more with the other ladies regarding spanking. For the people sayiing No,don't discipline kids who really need to be made to show respect for authority. These same kids who aren't disciplined are the very ones terrorizing communities abroad. I have never seen wild kids running around cursing in front of adults the way they do now. What ever happened to showing respect for your elders? If I even so much talked back to an adult I was spanked. Here I am now a law abiding citizen with no criminal record. The bible even says Do not spare the rod! Kids need to be taught right & wrong- sometimes they need more than just talking too. Every child isnt going to respond just to our words alone. I support this father who lives the same state as I do- Wisconsin!!!
kids now need to be spanked i support the dad.teachers need to go to school to learn the difference between whats abuse and whats not. they want to call everything abuse. we are helping them by keeping our kids under control
I strongly believe that a good paddle dont hurt anyone. They remember the paddle and the next time they think a bit before they do it. That is the problem today theyknow they cant be touched that is why kids are so out of control these days.
I agree with the father. I was spanked when I missed behaved and I learned never to do it again. I know a lot of people that didn't get disciplined and they were the kids that were out of control. If the child is not the one pressing charges than this trial should not even be taking place. But I bet this kid really learned his lesson.
"Spare the rod, spoil the child." If this child has bruises, the father obviously went WAY TOO FAR. But giving the child a light spanking to get the discipline across can never hurt them. I say spank your kids!
Of course, RMHC, the man who said that, you ever wonder what happened to *his* son?
One of the most hated monarchs in the Bible, hounded out of his own kingdom.
Wonder if that's *because* or *despite* Solomon's views on discipline….
Anonymous - you must not have any children or maybe they haven't reached their teenage years. Rest assure children / teenagers will change your thought process. :)
Spanking is not the only form of discipline and should not always be the 1st choice for discipline. But, it is a valid form of discipline. Again let me reiterate I'm talking about Spanking not Beating.
Kara, Dorothy & Amy we all must be from the same era. I had to laugh when I read your comments. :)
As parents we have to support, protect and fight for our children. We have to teach, discipline, encourage and help cultivate them into mature, responsible human beings (even before they become adults). Sometimes that means we have to administer TOUGH LOVE.
The young man in question plainly stated "He gave me a chance to tell the truth and I just kept lying." I will go as far as to say that the young man knew the specific consequences for his actions but yet he continued to lye.
The young man's father was not abusing him but administering the predetermined consequence for his action. Sort of like when we get caught speeding. The predetermined consequence for that action is a hefty fine, which is actually designed to be a deterrent (as is a spanking). Nevertheless we do it anyway hoping we don't get caught and can avoid the consequence.
If his son was an adult he could be prosecuted for assault and battery, why should children have less rights to be protected when they are the ones that need it the most.
Can you say "CAPITAL PUNISHMENT"?
A child that learns early on that there is consequences for bad behavior is more likely to understand that his/her actions must be accounted for. Too many children get away with everything because their parents don't want to teach them right from wrong.
When my son was 4, we were at the Laundromat, where he was playing inside one of the front load washers. I pulled him out of the washer, and sat him on the floor and told him to stay while I finished my laundry. Two hours later, a sherif and a social worker showed up at my house to investigate the situation. Some caring ***** had called and was concerned because the child hadn't stopped crying by the time I left the laundromat.
I told the sherif that if I couldn't discipline my children in public that they should take them because I was not going to be financially responsible to replace something I could prevent them from destroying.
To all of you who say spanking is wrong, let me tell you about a friend of mine who used the time out method because she was brainwashed into thinking spanking was wrong.
Her 5 year old son was a terror. People would audibly groan when they saw she had brought him to their house. He was foul mouthed, he broke things, talked back to whomever he wanted, however he wanted. One time when he was acting up, she told him to go sit on the couch in time out and think about what he did that was wrong. He looked at her and said "F**k You." I looked at her to see what she was going to do. She didn't do anything but get this defeated look on her face. I asked her if she was going to let him talk to her like that. She asked me what could she do. I told her I would have washed his mouth out with soap, spanked his ass and sent him to bed. She looked at me like I had just killed Jesus. We have since lost contact.
It is the time out punishment for all bad acts that is the downfall of todays society. Look at the older generation. They were spanked (some with whatever was close at hand). If I owned a business, I would much rather have all my employees 50 and older than hire someone right out of college these days. Why? Because the older generation knows how to show respect and will work hard. Kids today don't even know the meaning of the word respect and want to be paid a full days wages for 5 seconds of work.
Do your child and the future of society a favor, spank him/her for misbehaving. I'm not talking about going all Jackie Chen on them. But a few taps on their behind will let them know they are not in control. That you are the parent and they are the child.
Why is it a problem for a parent to spank a child when it is young but okay for the police to beat the hell out of the same child when it is older. The kid is going to get it one way or the other. Either at the hands of a loving parent who wants the best for it or the hands of the police who don't give a damn if the kid lives or dies. Either way, he will be disciplined.
Everyone needs to MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS! There is a difference between spanking a child and abusing a child. A spanking is NOT abuse. Look around in the schools today and you will see a bunch of dis-respectful hoodlums with no respect for anyone. When I was in school you rarely saw this sort of thing. The few who misbehaved got to grab their ankles while the principal administered an "attitude adjustment" which worked every time. Rarely did they repeat their mistake! Today those students are well adjusted adults! Since everyone started crying CHILD ABUSE for spanking, the jails are full and so are the juvenile facilities. I say mind your own business and let parents and teachers decide the form of punishment needed to correct the bad behavior!
I am the 47 years old and was raised with spanking when needed. Believe me it only took once or twice in my childhod to know better. I thank my parents every day for teaching me right from wrong. I have raised three children of my own and on occasion they have been spanked but more often than not the threat of a spanking worked.
Needless to say. I have two grandsons and they are very well behaved.
It is a joke today to discipline kids, kids aren't even kids. They seem like grown-ups, except with child like attitudes. You now need to discuss what the child is doing wrong, including disruptive behavior, bad manners, breaking curfews. Go ahead raise your hand to your kid, and they will gladly holler child abuse, or act as if they will call 911 or some other threat. Then the courts will be involved,counseling will be ordered or worse your child will be sent away somewhere, they have specialized training that somehow doesn't border on abuse? I have heard from kids that have been sent to these places it's not pleasant, but if you discipline your child it's not right either. When kids are little, you can get away with time outs, but as they get ever so older, kids will still rebel and not think they have to be terribly accountable. Not to mention the terrible things that are wrong with the parents, right. That is why we had kids, to critique our every mood, frustration and most of all to question our sense of values and all other things that pertain to our parenting styles. Why of course what was I thinking all this time?
The comment about "he went too far and left a bruise, that means it's child abuse" is crazy because I have a two year old and one day he ran across the lawn and almost into the street, I caught him just as he was about to put one foot onto the pavement and it left a small bruise on the underside of his arm. I wasn't too forceful or harsh, I just happened to catch him in the right spot. Would you suggest child protective services to come take him away because I laid my hands on him hard enough to stop him and it left a bruise? I gave him a good pop on the bottom (with my open hand) for the first time recently, when he decided he needed to disobey me and try to touch the stove knobs again and again. I told him why I was going to give him a spank (yes, just one quick pop on his bum) and explained that it was not safe for him to touch the knobs. He's only 2 but you are never too young to learn. If I had continued to put him in time out he would have gotten up and done it again, he's not touched it again since then. Giving a good spank for things like this are important. And the idea of leaving a small faded bruise that does not cause significant damage is not abuse. Broken bones, bleeding, multiple bruises in various stages of healing, THAT is physical abuse. I don't think using a paddle, belt or switch is very wise since that would cause damage, however unintentional, but on a twelve year old male it may be different. My mom used a belt or razor strap or even sometimes whatever was closest, I don't agree with it but I do agree with an open handed spank.

I just got Lancome creme radiance as a gift with purchase and I totally love it...it does make my face feel squeaky clean and a bit tight afterwards but all I have to do is dab a bit of moisturizer on my face...I definitely will buy this product again...I don't find it to be too expensive because it comes in a 120 ml tube and you only have to use a pea sized amount of it...I glide it onto my face and massage, then I add water to it to create a foamy lather...it truly feels like a luxurious spa treatment...afterwards, my face feels really clean, soft, and pampered...truly a wonderful little beauty treatment... I highly recommend it...
I purchased this cleanser on the recommendation of a SA and have really been liking it. Its texture is very rich and creamy which gives it a lovely luxurious feel. At the same time, though, it's not too rich to the point where it doesn't remove excess oil and makeup. My face always looks and feels very clean after using this cleanser, and it seems to remove even longwearing/Colorstay makeup. I think this cleanser seems quite gentle in the best way and would probably be good for nearly all skin types except perhaps a very oily skin that needs a bit stronger cleanser. Highly recommended.
GET THIS STUFF...THIS STUFF WORKS! I am 44yrs old and trust me when I say I have used EVERYTHING ever made for skin care/cleansing. I received my Creme Radiance as gift purchase. A drop (and I mean that) of this stuff lathers like crazy and cleanses like no other. My skin is going through some changes so I am extremely careful about what to put on my face. THIS is my HG cleanser. It has transformed my skin. My skin is visibly radiant, soft, clean - but NOT stripped of all its natural oils.
I don't use Creme Radiance as a makeup remover. I use a makeup remover or EVOO to do that. I use this product to wash my face after I've taken off my makeup and in the morning when I wake. There is no residue and my face is clean and SOFT. I have combination oily skin and prior to using this, my face was dry, tight, cracking and no matter what I did, I was over producing oil and leaking like a car!!
I can't say enough great things about this product, I've had it over 3 months and no breakouts (unlike CeraVe PM which gave me cystic acne- see my review on that)! I wash my face in the morning and at night with it followed by Dickenson's Witch Hazel (the new/improved one with the yellow/clear label). Both of these are non-drying and non-stripping. My face has never felt better.
Ok, in terms of pricing. A little goes a very long way so I wouldn't call it expensive. This product lasts a very long time. I'm thinking a regular sized tube should last you close to a year - HONESTLY! ...And this is with washing day and night. If you've tried everything else, try this, it is worth the try. If you don't like it, take it back - but TRY IT!
I've liked a lot of things (a lot) but I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!!

Not bad. Not great. It's just okay. It foams a lot and I love the smell. Plus, it makes your skin feel squeaky clean. But then again, so can other cheaper foam cleansers so won't purchase again.
i got this as in a free gift with a $35+ purchase from my lancome at macys. it didn't break me out or anything. the packaging is so lovely, i love lancome's little rose logo. the smell is so elegant, but isn't strong. you only need a little to put all over your face. it makes my face feel really clean and fresh.
This definitely isnt for me. I have oily combo skin and this gives a really squeaky, tight feeling that i dont like. I use cetaphil for oily combo skin and it washes most of my eye makeup except water resistance mascaras which usually leaves a few residue, that why i wash my face twice to get everything off and cetaphil doesnt dry out my skin after two uses. This one however not only strips my skin but does a worse job with my water resistance mascara. You'd think something this strong should at least remove more makeup. Maybe this would work for extremely oily or acne prone skin but for me, i use it to clean my brushes, too harsh for my skin.

This product has SURPRISINGLY turned my skin entirely around. It used to be horribly dry but still very oily at the same time. It was rough, dull, and had dry flakes but yet still oily like i said. This product has made my skin soft as a baby! my skin looks more CLEAR and radiant. HG status for me (who has tried hundred of cleansers, no lie.)
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Best cleanser i have ever tried! It has a lot of product in the bottle and it smells great. I can tell my face getting more radiant and cleaner.I was sceptacle about buying it for 25 but you only need to use about a pea size. the texture is very creamy, smooth and silky. This cleanser is so nice i always look forward to washing my face with this stuff and when i do i feel like i'm at the spa!
I really like this cleanser. As others have stated, you only need to use a tiny amount so it lasts a long time. It foams nicely and my face feels very clean (almost squeeky clean) after I rinse it off. And, it's not drying at all. While I usually only use this cleanser when I get it as a gwp, I'm seriously considering buying a tube (on eBay, of course). Definitely worth a try.
This is one of my favorite cleansers. I have had it for 10 months and I'm almost out. It gives a luxurious foam and makes my skin feel pretty balanced, not too dry or tight. My skin is very dry usually. I just wish it wasn't $25 :( But you do use it for a very long time cuz you only need a tiny bit. Buy it during gift time I guess!

Products and Services / Statistical information / Customised information and special files
Our publications do not contain all the data that the INE offers. In many cases, through our files, we can respond to the demand for information that users require (unpublished special tabulations, data with a greater territorial or sectorial breakdown level, etc...).
Customised information must be requested in the Information Area, clearly indicating the details of the contact person (name, postal address, telephone, fax and e-mail, if you have one), and detailing as much as possible the information that you require. If you have any doubts, call us and we will assist you in specifying your request.
Requests will pass through a viability analysis process, programming and subsequent verification that the data obtained safeguard statistical secrecy and are representative. These processes will be carried out as quickly as possible. The average response time is 10 working days. If the data requested may be obtained, we will send you the conditions for the supply of the data; these include the cost of the compilation of the information, the approximate delivery period and the restrictions, if any, under which said information may be used. Once the supply conditions have been accepted, we will proceed to the work programme.
You will receive the data in the most appropriate medium: in print or file. When files are involved, standard and easy-to-use formats will be used. The issue of the information will be carried out by your choice of method: ordinary mail, e-mail, fax, messenger at the user's expense or direct collection from the Information Area offices.
These are files that contain the digitalisation of the georeferenced outlines of all municipalities and many of the censal sections, according to UTM coordinates 28, 29, 30 and 31. The files are available in ArcInfor EXPORT format (e009) and SHAPE.
List of sections available
Customised anonymous survey files
There are some statistical operations that, for confidentiality reasons, cannot provide standardised files of individual data, but depending on the study that you wish to conduct, you may request customised anonymity. These operations include: Labour Cost Survey, Wage Structure Survey, Economically Active Population Survey, Municipal Agricultural Census files...
When the tabulation plan of statistics is carried out, crosses are foreseen between variables that a priori are considered the most representative, thus obtaining a series of tables that comprise the standard publication. Based on the basic statistical operations files, crosses other than those published may be carried out between variables, according to the needs of the user.

Now back in print, this volume expands on concepts outlined in the authors previous book, Scaling the Secular City. Christianity and the Nature of Science encourages readers to think more clearly about the way science and theology interact. It dispels the notion that science is a matter of rational analysis and Christianity a matter of faith. And it demonstrates how the biblical record regarding the origin of life can and should be a legitimate consideration in scientific study.

I'm escalating the Yorkshire pudding wars by buying an American popover pan.
I read a review of them in a foodie magazine while in Missouri earlier this month but didn't have time or space in my case to buy one there so have now ordered an import via Amazon.
The article praised the open space around each individual pan as assisting the pudding inside to rise higher and straighter. It also suggested putting a reflective surface above it to help in cooking the top.
I saw this pan design some years ago at Jordan Pond House on Bar Harbour island, Maine, and they make thousands of perfect popovers (first time I came across that name also).
We alternate with good friends to cook Sunday dinner and when its beef we've been trying to outdo the other with our Yorkshire puddings.
I'm hoping this will put me in an unbeatable lead. Wish me luck!

Ghostface Killah: Diagram Darts
Now, his latest work, The Big Doe Rehab is on its way to hit store shelves this winter. Controversy is surrounding him. Rumors of internal turmoil and beef amongst Wu-Tang members have been buzzing like killer bees and it was time to get to the bottom of it. HipHopDX sat down to get answers to a lot of questions surrounding Ghost, the Wu and the release of The Big Doe Rehab and 8 Diagrams.
So, whats in store?
Much like many painters, this emcee has always tried to reinvent himself in different ways, be it nicknames, rhyme styles, flows or even topic choices. But, like many other artists, he always has that patented style that most people want to see. For those who want that good ol Ghostface back, hes ready to give it to you.
This one is real street, he said of his next studio album The Big Doe Rehab. But, thats not the only revelation he gave us. During the opening night of The Hip-Hop Live Tour, Ghostface gave DX the lowdown to break it all down before hitting the stage. After sitting down to take some press photographs, he finally got down to business and all of this, without biting his tongue once.
HipHopDX: So, what can people expect from the upcoming Wu-Tang Clan record, 8 Diagrams?
Ghostface Killah: Youre supposed to expect what youve been expecting from Wu-Tang. I wasnt there at the finishing touches of it. I came in late in the game, like in the fourth quarter and laid down five what-cha-ma-call-its [verses]. But, I never really got to hear everything they had put together. RZA said that he got it, so whatever you hear is based on RZA.
DX: Obviously theres been a lot of talk about why you werent as much a part of this album. Can you shed some light on those issues?
GFK: Yeah. [There is] a lot of shit why I didnt come in. Motherfuckers owe me some money. That and a lot of other shit thats going on. Thats why I didnt come in. But, then I came in for the sake of my other brothers. Its not just a RZA thing. Its a Wu-Tang Clan thing. Im not going to fuck around and let everybody suffer based on me not going in. But, we know now. Im just moving right. Thats all.
DX: A lot was made about the Wu-Tang extending some sort of peace offering by changing their release date so that it doesnt drop on the same day. How did you take to that?
GFK: Naw. Me, personally, B, Im Ghostface, man! Yo, I dont give a fuck if whoever drop on the same day. Know what I mean? It wouldnt help me. Well, it might have, could have helped me. But I been had my date. I had my date since the summertime [around] May/June. So, for brothers not to make their date on time and to keep pushing it back three or four or more times and try to wind up on December 4 - its like, "Cmon man. What you doing?" It was that type of vibe that was going on. But, its all good, though. They pushed it back. Steve Rifkind or whoever pushed it back. But, that was on them. I aint asked nobody to do nothing! Thats what it is.
DX: With the next album, you mentioned that you werent too involved. With the past couple of Wu albums, fans have expressed that it has not been the same. Theres that pressure to drop another album just like Enter The 36 Chambers. Well, how do you speak to fans to let them know that it will never be the same?
GFK: I wish we could go back, but you cant ever go back. Theres no way. Its gone. You cant make 36 Chambers over again. You cant make [It's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx] or Ironman again. Times have changed. My thought process has changed. When we came in the game, we were just grimey dudes who aint had nothing. Thats the attitude you would get on wax. No matter how hard we try, its never gonna be the same. Fans gotta understand that. I was thinking about doing a skit telling them that. But they dont really know. I dont care if it was six months that passed, that was time that passed. Things change over a period of time. Things changed from just a second ago! They just gotta learn how to accept it, take you for who you is and grow with you. After I start throwing these little dirty darts, Im gonna have to start throwing mature darts speaking on men and women. It can be positive or a fucked up situation, but you have to address certain issues. Thats what I got in store for the future. I cant talk about me selling crack and doing all of that other shit and Im not really doing it. Im 37, so you gotta have people to grow with you and you take them there. Its not what you do but how you do it. Its how you do it so they dont think, "Oh, he soft! He getting weak now!" Im still learning as I go on with this game.
DX: So, will we see a lot of this maturity on the new Big Doe Rehab album?
GFK: On this Rehab album? This shit right here, yo - I just went back. I went back. When I was just talking about the maturity thing-I wasnt talking about this album. I went back on some real grime ball shit because brothers respect violence, man. Sometimes, you gotta give them what they want. Hip Hop aint been the same since back then so thats what Ima give them on my tape.
When I talked about maturity, theres gonna be a time when you are gonna hear Ghost probably talking about a female who got a baby and she go out every Friday or Saturday and brings a man to the house, even if its once a month. Thats 12 months in a year and she had sex with 12 guys. Thats not right. Learn how to take care of yourself. You gonna give the baby cereal every morning, instead of cooking! Thats how the kids come up with diabetes and all that with nothing but sugar! Get up and be a woman! Or, Ill be getting on the guys not taking care of their kids and beating on women, because the woman is the reflection of the man. How he carries himself at home, thats how shes gonna reflect to the babies when hes not home. If hes one to yell a lot, then shell be yelling a lot. [Ill be] going into those realms and shit like that. Just cool out shit. Thats what its gon lead to. Still raw situations, though but its how you do it.
Both The Big Doe Rehab and 8 Diagrams are ready to hit stores this winter. For now, fans can catch Ghostface along with Rakim and Brother Ali on the Hip-Hop Live Tour, which is being presented by Dodge and FlowTV. The tour will be going on until Thanksgiving and it matches these three emcees up with The Rhythm Roots All-Stars, a live band that sounds as ill as the actual record, live.

Letting Go of the Status Quo – A Playbook for Transforming State Government
Book outlines bold actions state leaders can take to turn big ideas into big results
The new legislative season will be marked by the entrance of the largest freshman class of governors since 1936. These newcomers, regardless of party, campaigned to reduce costs, create jobs, and make government more efficient and effective. To help these state government leaders execute bold reforms, Deloitte has produced a Playbook that outlines how they can implement change, achieve their campaign goals, and position their states to thrive in the years ahead.
Letting Go of the Status Quo: A Playbook for Transforming State Government, lays out five broad avenues that both newly elected and incumbent governors can take to address voters' call for change and refocus state government on the basics – especially jobs and economic prosperity. In addition to these five strategies, the Playbook provides a multifaceted action plan for each:
- Cost Reduction – The United States' cumulative state fiscal gap could reach $119 billion by the end of FY 2011. From day one, legislators must begin cutting costs and streamlining state government to live within its means.
- Improving State Competitiveness – States not only compete against each other for jobs, talent and investments, but other nations as well. For states determined to move beyond their hard times and recharge their vitality, they'll need to focus on competitiveness boosters like revitalizing infrastructure, pursuing radical education reform and reinventing economic development.
- Transforming Health and Human Services – Health and Human Services weigh heavily on state budgets.By making these targeted and more effective, states can streamline the system and save money.
- Overhauling State Operations – By making state government more innovative, more technologically proficient, and more attuned to emerging needs, leaders can regain public trust while also addressing the new challenges of the 21st century.
- Getting it Done - Big Ideas to Big Results – To succeed, government leaders must be able to transform their big ideas into initiatives, ensure strong implementation, and achieve big results.
Full of ideas and tools for transforming state government and advice from those who have done it, this playbook is a must-read for governors — and their legislative partners — who now need to deliver on their promises.

Enable automatic updates every minute? YES NO
- FINAL SCORE: St Blazey 3 Helston Athletic 2
- Elsewhere Falmouth Town lose 2-1 at Launceston.
- Callington beat Penryn Athletic at Marshfields Parc
- Wendron book their place in the next round with extra time victory
"It's going to be one of those seasons," says Helston boss Sid Taylor.
Losing to former club St Blazey will have hurt Helston boss Sid Taylor (pictured above during today's game), no doubt about that. Check back later to hear his thoughts in a post-match video interview.

Sounds like it was some game at Lux Park, and what about Mullion? Amazing result!
So here's a full roundup of today's Cornwall Senior Cup scores:
Callington Town 4-3 Penryn Athletic
Dobwalls 4-1 Truro City
Godolphin Atlantic 5-0 Newquay
Launceston 2-1 Falmouth Town
Liskeard Athletic 4-6 Penzance
Ludgvan P-P Foxhole Stars (Ludgvan given walk-over)

St Blazey 3-2 Helston Athletic
St Dennis 5-1 Bude Town
Sticker 2-0 Mousehole
Torpoint Athletic 2-0 Camelford
Wadebridge Town 1-2 Mullion
Amazing fight back from Steve Jewell's side, but they too go out. That's three of last year's semi-finalists out of the cup after Newquay were thrashed by Godolphin.
Porthleven...it's up to you now. December 14.

Helston furious as another decision goes against them.
Bello's allowed to jink his way into the box on the left, before playing a short pass in for Zallick to dink it into the corner. Surely all over now? Helston are staring down the barrel.

Here at Blaise Park 1-1 is probably just about right, although on balance St Blazey will feel Danny Zallick's miss after taking the ball around Mark Thomas means they should be taking a 2-1 lead into the break.
Helston have looked lively, and Goldsworthy finished with typical style form an absolute peach of a through ball from Chris Strike, but at the other end Bobby Oaten's side have had the better chances.
George Swain's been the pick of the bunch for the green and blacks, taking his goal well. It's al perfectly poised for the second half.

Lovely goal, and it goes some way towards Danny Zallick redeeming himself for his earlier miss in front of an open goal.
The Blazey striker receives the ball on the edge of the box, then scoops it up and over the Helston defence for Swain, who takes advantage of some ball-watching to volley past Thomas.
All square at Blaise Park!
St Blazey 1 Helston Athletic 1 (Swain 42)
Heston slice Blazey open at the back, and a low cross from Fox is thumped out for a corne. Blazey clear, and off they trot up the other end and Helston are on the back foot again.
Good game this. Helston still leading through Goldsworthy in the 20th minute.
Ridiculous decision by referee Grenfell. He's booking Tom Barwell for a sliding challenge on Ashley Piggott, after which Piggott looked to have stamped on him.
"This is the worst booking I have ever had, ref," shouts Barwell. Not sure about that, but it's pretty poor.

Here at Blaise Park a stunned St Blazey trail Helston by a goal to nil despite having the better of the opening exchanges, inluding Danny Zallick hitting the post when he had an open goal.
In-form Callington have taken an ominous two goal lead at home against Penryn. Can Steve Jewell's side replicate last season's amazing run to the semi finals?
At the moment it's looking like an uphill battle.

And Strike's involved again! This time racing back to maing a saving tackle when Zallick was through on goal. The Helston left back's everywhere at the minute!
What a ball by Chrs Strike! What. A. Ball.
A perfectly weighted pass over the top of the Blazey defence catches the green and blacks cold, and it's straight into the path of Mark Goldsworthy, who takes his time before sliding it past Dave Painter.
Goldsworthy runs straight to Strike to thank him. The phrase "on plate" comes to mind.
St Blazey 0 Helston Athletic 1 (Goldsworthy 20)
Dany Zallick races clear and takes the ball around Helston keeper Mark Thomas but his shot comes off the inside of the post and skids across the face of goal. Let off for Helston!
St Blazey go close again!
Close for Blazey! That was bit tasty. Some neat passig on the edge of the box between Swain and Danny zallick tees up Lewis Coombsm but his shot goes miles over.
Nice football by St Blazey.

Helston clear the danger and launch an attack of their own, but Charlie Young's through ball is cut out by Matt Thackery, and Blazey clear. End to end at the moment. Good stuff!
So Godolphin go a goal up in the day's big derby game, while here at Blaise Park, a foul on the edge of the box gives the home side a free kick in a good position.

George Swain lashes a long range effort high and wide of the Helston upright. That wasn't far off, and Mark Thomas was nowhere near it.
An early reminder to keep things tight at the back for Helston. Swain's got some shot on him.
Helston have the first attack of the game, Dan Stidwell linking up well with Matt Fox down the left, but Blazey clear. Stidwell playing on the right for Helston.
Tom Barwell starts up front ith Goldsworthy. Barwell's only featuredthree times for Helston this season.
A minute's applause in memory of Nelson Mandela, and we're all set for kickoff.

ST BLAZEY: Dave Painter, Matt Thackeray, Dan Bennett, Chris West (c), Joe Stone, Adam Bance, Tornado Bello, George Swain, Danny Zallick, Lewis Coombes, Ashley Piggott. SUBS: JOsh Sims, James Greet, Ben Swain.
Team news in from both sides, and there are no real surprises.
Indifferent is the word Kai Delaney used to describe St Blazey's league form this season. They've huffed and puffed, but so far failed to find their rhythm. Bobby Oaten's side look set for another season of mid-table mediocrity.
Helston? Well, there's no denying they've struggled to find their best form, but after last season's heroics when they were narrowly beaten in a thrilling final by Darren Gilbert's all-conquering Bodmin Town, the Blues won't want to go out at such an early stage.
There's pride at stake here today.
Looking forward to some great results for Saltash, Bodmin and Parkway in the Vase, and all the excitement from the Senior Cup today— @Cornishfootball 07 December 2013
It's more than a little nippy here at Blaise Park. Leaves scattered across the pitch, which looks heavy after some overnight rain. It's a grand old ground, though.
Helston boss Sid Taylor spent several seasons here as a player, and still has a lot of friends at the club.

Tom Rusell may make an appearance today. Whether he's fully fit or not remains to be seen.
Some early worrying news for Helston fans, whose side have arrived with a bare bones eleven due to player injuries and last minute drop-outs.
The rule preventing players from appearing in the cup without having plyed a league game means Sid Taylor has been forced to call up second and third team players in order to get a team together.

Newquay face a local derby against fierce rivals Godolphin, just days after parting company with manager Alan Carey.
Well, I say 'parting company.' What I mean is 'sacking.'
Derek Martin's side would love to dump the Peppermints out of the competition. Expect fireworks up at Godolphin Way this afternoon.
Here in Packet Towers we're preparing for a road trip up to Blaise Park to see Helston Athletic take on Bobby Oaten's St Blazey.
But it's a big day for two other local teams in the Cornwall Senior Cup. Last season's beaten semi-finalsts Penryn Athletic travel to Callington - who you'll remember, dished out a bit of a hiding to Helston last weekend - and Falmouth play Launceston.
Can it get any tougher for Town? Seems like they've done nothing but play the top five teams in the SWPL premier division over the last month.
Oh wait...
So away from football Falmouth Eagles make the trip to Tiverton looking to build on their excellent 50-5 victory over Exeter Saracens last weekend.
Penryn host Burnham-on-Sea, which promises to be a tricky one.
Burnham made a stonking start to the season in Western Counties West, and although they've had a bit of a wobble recently they're surely going to provide the Borough with a stern test this afternoon.

"We've received a number of letters recently alleging that Wayne Slater's January 18 story on Wendy Davis' biography contained serious errors. There is one point on which I believe the story was factually correct, but could have been clearer and more complete.
The most thorough set of questions came to us from Jessica Luther of Austin, whose signature says she's a "writer, journalist, activist." Her comprehensive note serves as a useful template for addressing the concerns raised by others."
Slater claimed: "Jeff Davis was awarded parental custody."
As Luther corrected for the paper: "Jay Root at The Texas Tribune writes, "According to divorce records, she and her husband were granted 'joint conservatorship' of her child, Dru, who was a teenager at the time."
"The key phrase in Wayne's report was 'parental custody.' It is common in divorce cases for parents to share joint legal custody, or 'joint conservatorship'. In the case of Sen. Davis' divorce, she and her husband were 'joint managing conservators.' Both were empowered to make decisions for the child's welfare.
'Parental custody' does not appear in my legal dictionary; Wayne used it as a way of telling ordinary readers which parent was given primary responsibility for housing and caring for the child.
Our story was accurate, as far as it went, but in this area it could have been clearer and more complete. We did not explain exactly what we meant by 'parental custody,' nor did we specify the extent of Ms. Davis' continued involvement with her daughter under the decree. When we wrote and edited the story, we thought readers would take that for granted, because these arrangements are typical in divorces. That left some readers perhaps too free to misinterpret the situation.
We will print a clarification in tomorrow's newspaper."
"Wayne's story offered readers what a good newspaper should provide: An excellent first draft of history. It tried to be fair -- indeed, it noted that the broad outlines of her campaign biography were correct -- and it aimed to be as complete as space permitted."
Rodrigue and I definitely agree on one thing: Wendy Davis is being railroaded by sexist attacks on her life story and worth as both a woman and mother. As he states in his Opinion/Ask the Editor post:
"Sen. Davis' detractors have selectively used or mis-used parts of our report to make some charges against her that are never made in the story itself. That's par for the course in politics these days, but we hope readers will judge our stories (and the candidates' records) on what we publish, and not on how zealous advocates spin what we publish."
"Also, please note that I'm explicitly criticizing some of Sen. Davis' detractors for going far beyond anything we printed or implied in their criticisms of her. I think it's important to separate our story from the resulting political spin. We'll have more on what Sen. Davis' daughters had to say in this weekend's paper."
The @DallasNews clarifies Wendy Davis' custodial role. (Already acknowledged that she did take daughters to Harvard.) pic.twitter.com/Yn1mESHoBt
