Royal Australasian College of Physicians wants smacking of children outlawed
- From: PerthNow
- July 26, 2013
THINK smacking children is OK?
This video compilation from Sky News (above) of children being slapped, whacked and hit by adults makes for confronting viewing.
Child health experts in Australia have called for the smacking of kids and other physical punishments to be completely outlawed.
The medicos from the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) want legal defences for the use of such discipline to be scrapped.
Children should be protected from assault, just as adults were, they claimed in a statement released today.
Associate Professor Susan Moloney, President of the RACP's Paediatrics & Child Health Division, also called for better support for parents and caregivers to educate them about the potential harmful effects of physical punishment and other violence on children.
"Research is increasingly showing that physical punishment may be harmful and children who receive physical punishment are at increased risk for a range of adverse outcomes both in childhood and as adults," Associate Professor Moloney said.
Do you believe smacking and other physical punishments should be banned? Have your say below.
"These include mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, aggressive or antisocial behaviour, substance use problems and abuse of their own children or spouse.
"While many children will not experience negative outcomes as a result of moderate or reasonable physical punishment, why put your child's future health and emotional wellbeing at risk?"
Professor Kim Oates, Fellow of the RACP's Paediatrics & Child Health Division and Emeritus Professor of Paediatrics and Child Health, University of Sydney, said there are more effective ways to discipline children.
"Parents and caregivers want to do the right thing for their child and should be supported to use more positive methods for managing a child's behaviour," Professor Oates said.
"Discipline is an essential part of good parenting, and effective discipline is about guiding a child so that they learn appropriate behaviour, and is grounded in a positive, supporting, loving relationship between parent and child."
The RACP claim studies have shown that despite the apparent immediate compliance children do not actually learn the desired behaviour. Instead, they learn to avoid the negative behaviour in the presence of the adult.
The RACP acknowledged it may take time to for its position on smacking to be accepted, but believes the process and the public discussion should be commenced.
While studies have shown that the majority of Australian parents still smack their children, support for the practice is declining, it claims.
In 2002, 75% of surveyed adults in Australia agreed with the statement that it is sometimes necessary to smack a naughty child - this decreased to 69% in 2006.
The RACP pointed out that in the 33 countries where the physical punishment of children is illegal, there is evidence that attitudes have shifted.
Countries that have banned the physical punishment of children have also seen other benefits including increased early identification of children at risk of abuse, and very low rates of mortality associated with child abuse, it added.
Associate Professor Susan Moloney said the RACP's paediatricians are committed to protecting children and have a unique perspective on the potential harms associated with the physical punishment of children and the potential for such practices to escalate.
"Many cases of physical abuse are the result of physical punishment that became more severe than intended and the difficulty with allowing the physical punishment of children is that the line can be easily blurred between abuse and 'reasonable' force or chastisement that is currently permitted in some states when disciplining a child," Associate Professor Moloney said.
The RACP's Paediatrics & Child Health Division is also launching a brochure, put together by doctors and parents, on how to manage a child's behaviour without smacking.Originally published as Is it time to outlaw smacking kids?

Smacking children is used as a warning for children while parenting drugging children by doctors and other authorities.must be outlawed first. Children drugged for years is no childhood no matter the crime surely. That pain never goes away. Abuse by Gov and Religious is also not okay and must be outlawed., That's right it is but they do this and have done for a very long time. If one thinks this will not happen to children. It might be a human Right yet Gov abuse our own children and there is little done only inquiries after inquiries.

I agree that children should never be attacked physically ever, for any reason. Children copy their parents and grow up to continue this primitive behaviour with their own offspring. Though not a psychologist I believe that much violence between adults stems from their childhood experience teaching them that violence and assault is justified in certain circumstances. Parents who cannot guide and teach without physically assaulting their children are inadequate to undertake the important work of nurturing children into civilised adulthood. And the rest of us have to live in a society with the damaged people whose parents taught them that "might is right". Make the parents apologise to kids who have been attacked and fine the parents heavily until they stop doing it. The parents should also have to attend counselling until they can behave in a constructive, instructive, and loving manner towards the next generation under their "care". Discipline is easy to manage in non-violent ways as a child is totally defenceless, trusting, and easily absorbs decent behaviour from parents who take their responsibilities seriously. Parenthood should not be undertaken by immature impulsive people.

I have a sneaking suspicion that most of the employees from the RACP would have been smacked when they were young, and they seem to have grown up fine. I was smacked and I am a well adjusted individual. I think we need to stop legislating for the lowest common denominator, use common sense and allow adults/parents to manage their own kids how they see fit (within reason obviously). I hate governments trying to tell me how to raise my child, I am a good person a loving caring individual that would never cause undue pain and to be told that giving an open handed smack as the last resort on the bottom should see me get a criminal conviction? I think we should tread carefully...

This is just more political correctness gone mad. Whilst smacking should never be a first option, sometimes it is necessary. The reason there is such a huge breakdown is young society is due to lack of discipline.

Great so we will have more direspectful hoodlums running around. I was smacked as a child and so was everyone from my generation. Healthy as an ox and very respectful. Doctors need to stop putting a tag on everything as a health issue or a disease seriously...

You are always going to have people who suffer from and I quote from above "depression, anxiety, aggressive or antisocial behaviour, substance use problems and abuse of their own children or spouse" It's not due to smacking its due to boundaries not being set by parents. These days parents want to be their kids best friend not their parent. Which I believe leads to the above problems because people don't know how to cope with real world problems because they have never been smacked or told no. There is also a difference between a smack and a beating, and I think you'll find it's the consistent beating that lead to the above problems not a smack.

Absolutely ridiculous. When will the world wake up to the fact that we are 1000's of evolutionary years away from never resolving issues through violence! No suggesting that excessive forms of beating kids is right either, but children need discipline and not all respond to mind games that experts claim to be the best method. Baby boomers were responsible for beating generation x and they then felt it was better to try and talk through problems with gen y. Now we have a generation that feels self entitled to everything without having to work for and still end up with depression. Why don't they focus on more important matters like punishment for parents who allow their adolescent kids to own smartphones and have social media accounts!

A smack on the bum with a hand or the strap (when I was really naughty) hasn't scarred me for life. If anything it's taught me discipline. I'm only 24 and I see these young children doing naughty things and there parents let them scream and scream and say no no dear. They aren't learning much. Look how disrespectful the 15-20 year olds are today. That's your generation of the no smacking right there. I will still smack my children if they need one to behave.

Every animal on the planet that raises its young uses some form of physical stimuli to discipline their offspring. What makes children so different? You can not negotiate with a child all of the time. They simply lack the ability to do it!

"Doctors want smacking outlawed" says your headline. My sister is a doctor, and she does not want smacking outlawed. Many doctors concur with her that sensible, controlled smacking is a vital and necessary part of disciplining children. Schools have gone to hell in a hand-basket since hippies outlawed corporal punishment in the 80âs, and our police wonder why crime abounds today, now that all those undisciplined kids have grown up. Gold Coast paediatrician Susan Moloney is wrong. Her âanti-smackingâ views are straight out of the 70âs and 80âs. We tried that approach with devastating consequences. Letâs move forward, not backward.

Knee Jerk of Sydney Posted at 8:54 AM July 26, 2013
It's very well easy enough for well off doctors with ample time of their hands to preach. Most parents are responsible enough and don't smack their kids unless they really really have to. This just makes it more difficult for good parents who do smack their kids. They smack not to injure. Bad adults will still continue to shake and choke children to death. These doctors should get off their ivory towers and live in the real world.

David Smith of Melbourne Posted at 8:51 AM July 26, 2013
Just like breast feeding the decision to smack a child should be at the discretion of the parent. Nobody advocates that children should be smacked to the level of causing permanent damage but a light tap with a hand is enough to make most children obey. What I really like to know is how many children become criminals due to a lack of discipline? Children need to be taught right from wrong at a young age and from personal experience most kids who have been smacked are more respectable to their parents and other people - so what is so wrong with that!

maybe you can slap them with a brochure when they are naughty? or even call one of these idiots when they grow up into the disrespectful generation we see all to often nowadays and they can come over and deal with them, I hope they don't come across one of them in an alley when they grow up, not all kids will grow up into monsters but smacking your kids "only when needed" teaches them that there are consequences for actions and that can only be a good lesson for later life, I don't have to smack my kids, I only did it a few times and now it only takes the threat and what do you know, it works every time.

Have you seen kids these days? Its already controversial right now if you smack your kids or not and knowing many Early Childhood teachers, the kids that don't get smacked are out of control. Parents just need to show self control - smack the child if it breaks the rule, but they should only receive a smack out of discipline, not anger, and that situation should always warrant a smack.

this society has more pathetic and rude teenage than before it is because people like you stop the parents to punish the kids. kids will push to their limit and if they know they can get away with it then they will do more damage. I would NOT allow two of my kids behave that way. if they become that way then this pathetic society will blame on parents. why don't you blame it on yourself!! too many of this people telling what other people what to do. I will reward my kids if they behave and doing well at school and if they are behave badly then the punishment will come in. otherwise they will push you up to the wall.

There is a big difference between a smack, and abuse. Sadly the experts are exposed to the 'worse case scenarios' on a regular basis, and this his why they take this stand. A smack didn't hurt me, I haven't turned on society, but I wonder sometimes if I'm in the minority that knows the difference between right and wrong at all!

What a load of tripe! These quacks are the reason we have juvenile delinquents overunning the place disrespecting all aspects of authority and respect. It should be up to the parent, sometimes a good smack is just the most effective thing. Geez next thing they will be saying is that the oxygen we breathe contributes to mental illness and depression....

YES!! It is a form of abuse. Teaching a child that violence is the only solution when they do something wrong is wrong, because it shows them that they can do it themselves when they are older to others.

âWhile many children will not experience negative outcomes as a result of moderate or reasonable physical punishment, why put your childâs future health and emotional wellbeing at risk?â........... Oh .. OK RACP, so using that logic, next you will be saying vaccination should be banned, because "âWhile many children will not experience negative outcomes as a result of VACCINATION, why put your childâs future health and emotional wellbeing at risk?" What a load of rubbish! There is much more evidence that genuine, appropriate physical disciple, done calmly and not in anger in no way harms the well being of the child, and in fact establishes appropriate boundaries and the respect for them much more effectively than any of the new age parenting rhetoric that has been promoted since Doctor Spocks failed ideas. When will we learn that the further society goes down the path of ineffective discipline and absent parenting, the more problems we create with out of control children and young adults that have no respect for authority and no understanding of consequences. There is a clear distinction between a smack done appropriately and abuse, and ABUSE should never be tolerated.

Children have to learn there is a negative result to doing wrong. Young children cannot be expected to think like adults and to reason the outcome. It's unfair. My 3 sons have all grown up drug free, employed and respectful because I smacked them when they needed it. Smacking is NOT abuse - bashing is - and they have ALL thanked me for having the courage to go against this ridiculous idea. Smacking is preferable to today's pathetic justice system which locks them up but does NOT punish them. Children have to learn immediate accountability, and given my time again I would do the same. Stuff these woolly minded academic do - gooders who live in ivory towers and do not have to suffer the consequences of bad behaviour. How stupid can people be? Parents, your children will thank you when they grow up for loving them enough to be brave enough to stand up for right.

Seriously? ....and people wonder why we have a problem with kids running wild. I was smacked as a child, so was my sister and we both turned out just fine, thank you. I imagine many others did too. Verbal threats and emotional abuse are just as damaging to a young child - perhaps even more - so how are we to set boundaries for a child without some enforcement options? ..and they wonder why kids have no control.. Must be ADHD, right? Medicate the kids! Pass around the Ritalin. Bloody quacks.

We'll do whatever it takes to protect our children. Smacking can be and is used inappropriately for sure, but sometimes a good smack does the right child good. How about you lot just mind your own business and run your lives the way you want and we'll make the decisions on how to bring up our children in our own.
Comment 325 of 497
Peter Posted at 8:41 AM July 26, 2013
I think it's important to know that children needs their boundaries as they learn and grow. In many instances, when they push past boundaries, they need to know how to accept punishment. Of course children would never quietly accept punishment and may even make sending them to the corner a mockery by fooling in the corner or sulking (which is also not a characteristic to support). Perhaps there are too many parents who can't draw the line between needed punishment and careless punishment. Unlawful smacking should apply to careless punishment but it will unintentionally remove the needed punishment. "What parents allow in moderation, children will excuse to excess" - so sometimes, it's the parents who need to be trained. But to outlaw smacking may potentially produce a generation without social boundaries, with uncontrolled drug use and rampant crime, and with self(ish) focus.

Spare the Rod of Canberra Posted at 8:40 AM July 26, 2013
Personally I don't think smacking should be banned. I was smacked as a child and I turned out ok. The problem comes when you spank your kids out of anger and not out of discipline. My mum spanked me when I was naughty (or used the wooden spoon) and I never hated her or resented her for it. It taught me to respect her and her rules. My dad on the other hand, was abusive. He had a wicked temper and hit me when I did something wrong...but it wasn't discipline, it was because he was angry and that COULD have scarred me emotionally. And lets face it - a lot of kids today have no respect for adults or rules and need a good smack.

Typical Australian backwards thinking to me. Yeah lets outlaw something that works for the majority to help a few.. There is a difference between discipline and abuse. I am so over our country taking our freedom of choice. I'm glad my parents smacked me. I was a little pain and if they didn't I'm sure I would have been a much worse person today. So there's another side to this than just helping the few extreme examples.

It is interesting that if you hit another adult or someone else's child - that's 'assault' - but it's fine to hit your child. Hypocritical or what? What is reasonable force anyway? People always say 'I was smacked as a child and I turned out alright blah blah...'. Well I was too - not seriously abused or anything, just smacked like everyone else and I am NOT okay with it. I didn't learn anything useful, it only made me afraid and avoidant of my otherwise loving parents. I was terribly shy and anxious well into adulthood. The evidence is there, lets finally put the laws in place and try and change the culture.

Im sorry but giving your kid a smack on the bum shouldn't be an issue. I was smacked as a kid and it taught me how to behave not like these kids today who do what they want when they want and have no respect for the people around them. There is a difference between smacking your kids on the bum with an open hand than beating them with your fists. Learn the difference!!!!!

MJ of Blue Mountains Posted at 8:37 AM July 26, 2013
I believe lawful chastisement is necessary at times when disciplining your own child or children. I believe it creates boundaries, security and the child knows if they "over step the mark or jump the fence" there are certain disciplinary consequences for their actions. Whether by smacking (without leaving bruising, bleeding, welts, etc...), the child being spoken to sternly, sent to their room to think about what they have done wrong, grounding and certain privileges taken away (X-box, tv viewing, missing out on events and activities). Abusing a child by physical, emotional, psychological means is definitely a big "NO!" I do not condone that behavior and that definitely needs to be stopped. Parents using these abhorrent and vulgar methods need to be re-educated and given right professional guidance and even shown the right ways of disciplining their child through love and respect, not out of anger. I was smacked while growing up and I thank my amazing father and mother for their excellent parenting skills. It distilled good values, morals and knowing that I need to own it if I have done wrong and admit responsibility for actions whether good or bad or indifferent. We need future generations of adults that have been guided well in their upbringing, with good sound morals and values to run our nation and be able to live in our communities without anarchy and fear.

What irritates me the most, is that the parents who are most likely to over discipline their children with physical punishment will still screw up their kids even if smacking is out lawed! Parenting is a balancing act between love and discipline and it's a hard hard balancing act at that! If you shower your kids with love most of the time, then they will fully comprehend that their behaviour is completely inappropriate when they get a smack.

Are you going to take all our children at bitrth and bring them up in a mamby pamby centre somewhere and give them back to us at 18 as a well adjusted adult? Society now has a problem with people having no respect for authority. What will happen if we use this approach accross the board? God help us all.

The result of this would be even more unruly children. Children must be disciplined - and I do not mean bashing them. The people I know, and their children, certainly have not shown 'depression, anxiety, aggressive or antisocial behaviour, substance use problems and abuse of their own children or spouse.' due to the odd smack.

Adam Rees of Picton, New South Wales Posted at 8:34 AM July 26, 2013
Hell no smacking should not be banned. Look at the world today, look at the kids today? There is no discipline, no respect for authority because kids can just get away with anything? Grounding? That doesn't work, not with todays technology and even taking that away doesn't have the impact it should have. No, if a kid does something wrong, they deserve to be punished and a smack on the rear with an open palm is a good punishment. Objects and closed fists are a no-no, they can cause too much damage but seriously an open palm is not only satisfying to the parent but also teaches the kid to obey, which is what kids should be doing at that age. I was raised in a house where I was smacked if I did the wrong thing that combined with what my mother taught me (family values) has turned me into the man I am today, one who is respectful of family and authority, one who doesn't act like an immature goof (I'd use other words but...). Parents are losing control over their children because of political correctness and fear mongering. Focus on the kids who actually need help, not the kids who are being disciplined for doing the wrong thing.

I was smacked as a kid. I also got pepper on the tongue, time outs, sent to my room, and other punishments as my parents got creative when I was defiant, unruly and generally bratty. I can count on one hand how many times I was smacked, and I know I deserved it. I laugh about it now because I was hardly hit at all. A whack to the bum is not the loud, angry assault you're making it out to be. I now hold a Masters' degree and am still going on to further education. Tell me, how many of the current generation of teenagers do you think will hold Master's degrees and be bright upstanding members of our society after having not been smacked, or otherwise disciplined? Will you outlaw all punishment? Will the naughty chair be considered psychological torture and imprisonment? There's a difference between abuse and punishment, and when you define normal parenting as abuse you'll get decent people in trouble for being good parents. Let parents be parents and support them instead of trying to punish them for punishing their kids. Get lost you no-good do-gooders.

Let me just say: I was never smacked as a child and I turned out just fine. I always had great attendance at school, did very well academically (got in the 90's for my VCE) and now have a successful career and a loving family. I exercise regularly and eat well, etc. I'm sick of people saying "I was smacked as a kid and I turned out fine" Well, I wasn't and turned out fine too. So it seems that people can turn out fine with and without being smacked. The only thing is that one of those options involves perpetuating violence and the other does not. Society needs to grow up. This should not be "parent choice". Smacking should be outlawed.

Susan Kearns of Adelaide, Australia Posted at 8:33 AM July 26, 2013
There is a difference between smacking to make them pay attention (as kids often practice domestic deafness) and smacking them to beat them up. Let's be careful how far you interfere with the raising of kids, because at some stage people are going to say too hard and not have any. I don't care what anyone says, an occasional smack never hurt me or my husband for that matter as it is a subject we have discussed in detail prior to having kids ourselves. Are you going to start disciplining adults as well for losing their cool with the kids and raising their voices/yelling, which I think on occasions is just as bad. Get a life, every child is different and different types of actions will or won't work so let the parent make the call on which action has the best result (within reason).

Vince Moore of Townsville Posted at 8:32 AM July 26, 2013
Not this again. Define smacking. Define abuse. Then I will listen. Every miscreant through history is so because they did not get smacked, therefore no boundaries, or were abused, therefore pass it on as a learned experience. Define your parameters please.

Kath Posted at 8:31 AM July 26, 2013
smacking is very much a hot topic, Where I believe smacking as a normal form of punishment is unreasonable I do believe in a situation where the child is at great personal or life threatening danger it maybe necessary to give a quick tap on the fingers and told no and told why it is dangerous . For example a small child reaching for a saucepan on the stove or reaching for anything equal hot or dangerous. The rest of the time there is no reason to smack or hit a child.
Comment 344 of 497
Nikki of Australia Posted at 8:30 AM July 26, 2013
If this punishment is banned parents need to be educated on more suitable forms of discipline. What happens is, parents don't know what they are meant to be doing and so they do nothing. Compulsory parenting courses such as "Tuning into Kids" should be taken by ALL parents to be. You can't just say "don't smack your children" You have to say "You can't smack, but here is what you CAN DO"

I am so totally sick and tired of "officials" sticking the big noses into how I choose to raise my children! Bugger off! I was occasionally smacked when I misbehaved as a child and when my children misbehave they know that a smack is coming their way! They rarely get smacked and I spend far more time telling and showing my children that I love them than I do disciplining them. I will raise my children how I see fit. They are great, well behaved kids, and I will not have some bloody medical association who think they know best (they can't even make up their mind about what is dangerous for you and what isn't. Changes day-to-day) telling me what is best for MY KIDS!

Darren Hayward of Melbourne Posted at 8:26 AM July 26, 2013
There is nothing wrong with a light smack on the back of the hand so to completely outlaw it would be wrong in my view. I think sometimes with very young children that can't be reasoned with it's the only way. However a hard smack or higher levels of abuse are unacceptable. I think part of the reason we have such a feral population of young people is that there wasn't enough discipline in their young lives, let's not make things worse than they already are.

smacking is violence. violence is violence. introducing violence to any relationship can not lead anywhere except to more violence. maybe disaster will wait until your child grows up but it will always be there. the absolute worst possible outcome is that it will appear to inflict pain on your children's children.

the massive reduction of physical punishment over the last 30 to 40 years has had such a big impact on kids, we now have a far more violence within younger society, there is also a big drop of respect for parents and other adults. What we now have is a generation of self centred kids who think they can do what they like. This is the real world, not some airy fairy world of academics. I come from a family of 10, of all my siblings only 2 went down the road of no physical punishment, they both followed all the advice of the so called experts and one even did a course on child rearing, problem is they both have adult children now who have spent time in prison for violent assault and other crime and or have big mental problems and all have the attitude they can do what they want. My other 6 siblings and myself have 28 children between us and not one of them has anything but a well adjusted life and we all used a small amount of Physical punishment as a last resort when all else failed, as it sometimes does.

You will be shocked kids, when you discover how easy it is in life to part ways with people forever. That's why, when you find someone you want to keep around, you do something about it.Ted
Sometimes things have to fall apart to make way for better things...we're done here.Ted

ART/ARCHITECTURE; In a Virtual Sculpture Park, the Art Talks Back
By MILES UNGER
Published: January 28, 2001
BOSTON— IT used to be that viewing works of art was an experience marked by a certain decorum. A hushed setting encouraged the serenity and detachment necessary to absorb truths revealed in works of timeless beauty. Whether or not you could rely on your fellow cultural pilgrims to behave in a civilized manner, one thing was certain: the art, at least, would mind its own business.
Imagine instead a world where artworks talk back, where they sense your presence and are, perhaps, not at all pleased to see you. Peace of mind disappears as once passive objects turn the tables, responding to you in unpredictable ways. This is no longer merely a theoretical notion; interactivity is the buzzword in art as well as in the electronic media. As increasing numbers of artists avail themselves of the latest computer technologies, artworks -- like the latest toys -- are becoming responsive, causing turbulence in the previously one-way flow of information. Sensors pick up our every gesture, provoking changes in the works themselves -- sounds, movements or more disturbing effects. Embedded microchips allow participants to ''play'' sculptures like musical instruments.
Nowhere are these radical transformations more apparent than in the realm of virtual reality, a new frontier for artists who believe that the encounter between viewer and art object should be anything but passive. One of the most ambitious art projects involving this new technology is ''Spirited Ruins,'' an imaginary world created by HiPArt (High Performance Computing in the Arts), a team of computer-savvy artists and software developers from Boston University's Scientific Computing and Visualization group who have joined forces to explore the outer reaches of the virtual realm.
For the moment, to view ''Spirited Ruins'' one must go to the university's Computer Graphics Laboratory, pick up a navigating wand and don a pair of 3-D goggles; one drawback of such advanced technology is that it won't yet run on your home computer. Standing in front of an ImmersaDesk -- the wide screen onto which a computer projects the interactive, three-dimensional scene -- viewers (called pilots) can travel through an imaginary landscape where sculptures spring to life and the laws of physics are routinely violated. (Those wishing to take a test flight may make an appointment by calling 617-353-7800.)
''Spirited Ruins'' is not a unified work but a virtual sculpture park that reveals in equal part the handiwork of software engineers and artists. The pleasant, parklike setting was designed by Kathleen Curry, a graphics programmer at the computing and visualization group. The dozen or so works encompassed by ''Spirited Ruins'' are connected conceptually by an overarching narrative involving an ancient civilization that equated symmetry with vitality. But each piece offers a different view of the dance between artwork and spectator made possible in the virtual world. As we swoop and soar with the help of our wand across hills and hedges, one of the artworks we may run across is a nude male figure who resembles a bearded Tin Woodman. Instead of standing frozen for our inspection, this statue becomes agitated at our approach, muttering and gesticulating wildly. This is not your typically anonymous encounter in cyberspace but a disquieting confrontation that recalls the city street, where strangers may violate one another's space and physical contact is apt to make one cringe.
Jerry Hoyt, a kinetic sculptor who contributed this piece, called ''What's Real,'' uses computer technology to counter the sterility and anonymity that can characterize human relationships in the age of the Internet. In this modern-day version of the Pygmalion myth, the statue-come-to-life is not the lovely and accommodating Galatea but an abrasive, paranoid character. ''I wanted this piece to have a more bizarre, real-world feel,'' Mr. Hoyt explained, noting the erosion of personal boundaries in the digital age. ''When you approach the figure he seems to be questioning your right to be there.''
Not all the works that make up ''Spirited Ruins'' are as confrontational as Mr. Hoyt's, but each involves some kind of entanglement of object and viewer. As Glenn Bresnahan, director of the Scientific Computing and Visualization group and HiPArt, said: ''In the virtual environment you get to be in the three-dimensional space and can walk around the objects. There's the possibility that these objects won't behave the same way every time, that they'll exhibit different sorts of behavior depending on what other things are doing, what you're doing. As an artist, you're not just creating a fixed piece -- you're creating the interactions that you want people to have with your work.''
Laura Giannitrapani makes this point whimsically. As our movements through virtual space take us near her sculpture, a stained glass window in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright set in a rusticated stone arch, dancing couples assembled from geometric panes of colored glass strut out in front of us and perform to a pulsing tango beat. Tom Coffin's abstract colored forms fly apart and reform as we pass by, while a close encounter with Carlton Newton's stone monolith causes a wooden dowel to clatter noisily down a serpentine groove.

I am writing today to express my thoughts as a wife, mother, business owner and a lifelong resident of our city of Fall River. I am in complete disgust to see how a certain number of our elected officials as well as a number of our citizens have chosen to turn their backs and completely ignore the great things this city has accomplished with this present administration.
Our City Council should be role models to our students of the future, and teach them that we should all work together. My family and I are proud to live here, and proud of our mayor. He has done so much for all of us, and we know he will continue to. Keep strong. We couldn't have gotten this far without you.

I think this has more to with lack of coaching then talent on the team. Just like the McBride era this team is under-performing. I think they had talent to be an 8-4 team. The coaching has failed the team, from the lack of discipline to 4 years of search for a "real" OC.

I don't know what the big deal is about going to the PAC 12. I for one prefer to win... when you go to a game or watch one on TV you want to see your team win. I'd rather be in the WAC - the MWC or anywhere else, but win. I'm not even going to get into basketball. Maybe I'd feel a little bit different if my tuition went down for joining the PAC 12. If anything, it will go up. Whit could make his bonehead choices for OC and we wouldn't have to feel it as fans every week. Go Utes - but go somewhere we can just win.

The good news:
Arizona was smoked at Oregon 49-0 and at UCLA 66-10.
The bad news:
Arizona smoked Washington 52-17 and beat USC 39-36, both at home.
Just like the Utes, the Wildcats are winless on the road this year. Unlike Utah, Arizona has beaten a couple of PAC 12 teams with winning records. Whether or not we have a chance to win or not will depend on which Arizona team shows up Saturday night in frigid RES.

AZ will be mad about their losses and will beat U in SLC. Colorado might be
able to stay competitive vs U as well. U got lucky beating BYU (if Hill had
played instead of Nelson it would have been a U loss) and will need to play like
they haven't all season just to hit .500
The offense is still the big problem and Hayes at QB is still hurting the team.

There is not a lack of talent on this team it is all about identity. By game 10 there should be a clear picture of an offensive identity and as of right now that does not exist. Last year we were clearly a running football team, every opponent knew what what the Utes were going to do, and they did it very well. The offense right now needs an overhaul. It seems like the weapons on offense are not being used. Kenneth Scott needs to be given more touches, Dres needs the ball more to take advantage of his athleticism, and Jake Murphy needs to get the ball. I love BJ, but it looks like he has no clear direction of what he wants to do.

Dissapointing loss last week but great chance for a big win coming up on
saturday. I think the Utes will win and get to 6-6 and hopefully get a bowl

Thanks, Johnny Triumph. You seem to be really on top of the college football scene in Utah. I think you are just as correct about how BYU would have beaten Utah if Hill would have played as you are with your comment about how Jon Hayes is killing the Utes with his QB play of late. They ought to think of maybe replacing him and---I don't know---maybe giving the frosh kid a start or two. Still--you could probably answer that one better than anyone. Anyways--thanks for chiming in. You really seem to be on top of things.

Utah fans need to be more reasonable with their expectations. You took a huge jump to a much better conference and expected to be competitive immediately. I have said it all along, Utah will not be truly competitive in the PAC-12 until 2015-2017. Although you do have some talent at a few positions, the depth of talent is not there. You have a young and inexperienced coaching staff, who is being challenged and often exposed by unfamiliar schemes and better talent. This is what happens when you join and play in an elite conference. There is a long learning curve, and it takes time to recruit the depth of athletes needed to compete week in and week out. Be patient, give your coaches time to develop. Give your program time to get it's footing.

RE: Fight on
News flash: If you don't win you don't recruit quality players. No one wants to play for a loser and it's as simple as that. The hard part is the winning. That's why Arizona and Arizona St. have played for a total of one Rose Bowl in twenty years. Sure their booster clubs are telling their fans to be patient and let them get thier footing. With a huge Sugar Bowl win the Utes made a national statment. However, it appears the last two years have erased all the gain.

I think utah has good enough talent to be a mid tier pac 12 team. I didn't
see a huge talenty gap between them and wahsington, or ucla, or asu, or any
other pac12 team they have played other than usc. I think saying they lack the
talent is a cop out. Other than usc and oregon no one in the pac 12 is
appreciably better than TCU or BYU have been the last 8 years or so. utah
competed just fine with BYU and TCU, utah fans falsely claim utah dominated but
the fact they won all of one conference championship proves otherwise.
There is just no reason at all why utah cannot compete with everyone but usc and oregon right now. They should not be losing 34-15 to washington. They should not be getting pounded by asu in the manner that they did.
My personal opinion is that it is the fault of the coaching staff, it is not a good staff. Whittingham is fine as a head coach but has proven himself to be poor at choosing quality assistants. Being a control freak and running out good assistants doesn't help.

David Cameron to miss controversial vote on car smoking ban 'because of the floods': Prime Minister will instead be 'leading Government response' to crisis
- Controversial plans will be subject to a free vote in the Commons
- But Prime Minister expected to miss vote as he leads response to flooding
- He has not stated position, but said he wanted to 'listen to the arguments'
David Cameron is expected to miss a vote on the controversial ban on people smoking in cars when they have children with them, because of the floods.
The proposal will be subject to a free vote in the Commons and is likely to highlight differences of opinion within the coalition - allowing MPs the opportunity to make a decision without following party orders.
But the Prime Minister is expected to miss the vote as he leads the Government's response to the flooding.
David Cameron is expected to miss a vote on the controversial ban on people smoking in cars when they have children with them, because of the floods
The proposal will be subject to a free vote in the Commons. But the Prime Minister is expected to miss the vote as he leads the Government's response to the flooding
Mr Cameron has not stated his position on the ban, with his spokesman previously insisting the PM wanted to 'listen to the arguments'.
But previously he has spoken on the subject, in 2011.
He said: 'Whatever people have done in the past, the facts show that they really
should change their behaviour.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, pictured last night in Mexico City, warned the ban was illiberal and unenforceable
Split: Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said he will back a call for parents to be banned from smoking in cars containing children but Lib Dem Business Secretary Vince Cable will vote against the law
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is to back a ban, after previously warning it was not the state's tole to dictate what people do in private
Nick Clegg, the cigarette-smoking Deputy Prime Minister:'A family speeding along the M4 and mum or dad are smoking, how on earth are you going to properly enforce that?'
Ken Clarke,
the cigar-smoking minister without portfolio: 'I don't think our
traffic police are going to be concentrating enormous efforts on racing
up and down the motorway peering into cars, trying to see whether
there's a child in.'
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles: 'My initial intention is to vote against it. We should make things criminal if we feel that they are enforceable.'
Public Health Minister Jane Ellison: 'We are not persuaded that legislation is the right way forward on that matter.' (November 2013)
Chief Whip Sir George Young: 'I see some difficulties in trying to enforce a ban on all smoking in cars.' (November 2011, when Commons leader)
Prime Minister David Cameron:
'Whatever people have done in the past, the facts show that they really
should change their behaviour. I am not sure whether it is possible to
legislate in that area - we need a change in attitudes.' (March 2011)
Defence Minister Anna Soubry, an ex-smoker: 'I would ban smoking in cars where children are present. I would see it as a child welfare issue. I think it is something we should at least consider as government.' (February 2013, when public health minister)
'I am not sure whether it is possible to legislate in that area - we need a change in attitudes.'
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg signalled he would not back the plan when he told his weekly phone-in show that 'laws and legislation are not always the solution'.
He said a ban would not be enforceable in practice, adding: 'We have to live in a society where we expect adults to behave like adults and we expect parents to behave like responsible parents.
'You can't sub-contract responsible parenting to the state. It is deeply irresponsible to smoke in an enclosed space with your kids - don't do it.'
It follows the House of Lords backing an amendment giving Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt power to make it a criminal offence in England, punishable by a £60 fine or points on a motorist's licence.
But Transport Minister Robert Goodwill told MPs last week he would vote in favour of the ban, having been forced to sit in the back of a car as a child while his father smoked.
David Nuttall, Tory MP for Bury North, told the Commons the ban could divert the attention of the police away from more important road offences.
Fellow Conservative Jacob Rees-Mogg said he would not back the plan, as he noted it could allow the Government to regulate other legal activities.
The MP for North East Somerset, was writing in the Mail on Sunday.
He said: 'Once it is admitted that the State can intrude on people's legal activities, then it is hard to establish the point at which it must stop.'
He went on: 'I am very fortunate in having a marvellous nanny, Miss Veronica Cook, who after 47 years is still looking after my family.
'Nothing is more reliable than nanny, nor more objectionable than the nanny state.'
Dr Penny Woods, British Lung Foundation chief executive, said a ban on smoking in cars carrying children is successfully enforced in several countries, including Canada and Australia.
She said: 'MPs have a real chance of making history by voting to give children in the UK the same protection.'
Dr Woods added she hoped 'common-sense will prevail'.

Simply put, sports has a way of connecting people. When you throw on your team colours, you're no longer a Sikh, Jew, Christian, White, or Black. You're simply a fan. And the only thing that matters in that moment is realizing the dream of seeing your team lift up the trophy one day and host a parade on your home streets.
They were using their talents and resources to pursue their passions. We often celebrate young people (think Bill Gates for instance) for doing this in other businesses and personal pursuits, but it takes on a very different tone when young black men from stigmatized areas take an unconventional path and invest their energies into it.
This is a model that Toronto's exports have seemed to follow for years -- when one artist breaks, so do the communities that have birthed them. While not entirely unique to Toronto, it's certainly a trend that has planted roots there and helped grow Canada's music scene immensely, one [Broken Social] scene at a time.

AVON – Sammy, with his shiny white-and-black fur, is about to make his online debut. The 4-month-old kitten will be the first feline to be highlighted on Petfinder.com by Marty's Cat Rescue, a fledgling group aiming to place homeless cats into loving homes.
"This is going to be our real first pet for adoption going up (on the site). I'm really excited," said Peggy Geyer of Avon, co-founder of Marty's Cat Rescue.
The group, formed in March, is named for Geyer's late cat, Marty, a white feline that died in 2009. The group is working to obtain nonprofit status, Geyer said.
Geyer is among eight volunteers from Randolph, Brockton, Holbrook and West Roxbury who are fostering homeless cats awaiting adoption.
To date, the cat rescue group has trapped and spayed or neutered 27 area cats with the goal of reducing cat overpopulation. The group has taken area cats to be spayed or neutered at feral cat clinics organized through Commonwealth Cats, Geyer said.
Across the region, dozens of cats are surrendered each day and most are euthanized as local shelters try to cope with an uncontrolled cat population.
Close to two million cats are euthanized each year in shelters and animal control facilities nationwide, according to the Humane Society of the United States.
Geyer is among animal advocates urging local pet owners to spay or neuter their cats to reduce unwanted litters.
"We're trying to help curb the overpopulation," Geyer said. "We'd love to be able to find a forever home for all of them."
Another goal of the group is to begin a pet food pantry, she said. For more information or to volunteer, visit Martyscatrescue.org.

I use the Analysis Board/Game Editor on this site to analyse my own positions & games that other members post.It's a really useful tool but in Game Editor mode, if you have a sequence of moves that's too long to fit in the moves-pane, it always displays the final set of moves instead of the move that you are at. I'm often trying to switch between variations I've set up but can't see any of them most of the time.
Adjusting the view in the moves-pane only works until I click on the up or down button & then the view changes again to show only the final set of moves - it's driving me to distraction !
Is there anything I can do to ensure that the move I'm on is always displayed in the pane ?
Come to that, does anyone else have the same problem or could it be some obscure fault with my PC ?
No help. Havn't experienced that particular problem.
Hmm.. 274 views so far but only one (not very helpful) comment !
I've reported this to tech-support & they accept that it's a site problem (it's in hand with the coders) but I don't understand why this doesn't seem to affect more people. So for those of you with a little time to spare, would you help me out by opening Game Editor (it opens in Analysis mode so you'll need to click on the Game Editor tab !) & either making moves until the list overflows the moves-pane or load a game or sequence of moves so that it overflows (needs to be at least 15 moves on my machine).
Then click on the 'back to start' button to return to the first move & click on the forward button (to make the first move) - do you lose sight of that first move in the moves-pane ?
I'd appreciate it if you would try what I describe above & post your results (perhaps with details of the browser/OS you're running). If you have any problems loading a game into the editor etc., I'll be happy to help...
{ I'm running Chrome on Windows 7 OS but I have the same problem on my desktop PC running Chrome on Windows XP (SP 3) }
Just tried it and I seem to get the same issue:
Windows 7 64-bit
Browsers tested:
Chrome: 21.0.1180.75 (Up-to date)
Firefox: 12.0 (Not up-to-date)
Thanks for that - interesting that it also happens in Firefox because it & chrome seem to be the preferred browsers on this site.
