Parenting in general can be overwhelming. Add Aspergers to the equation, and the job just got tougher! Taking care of a child with Aspergers or High-Functioning Autism can take up the vast majority of the parent's time and energy. From learning everything you can about the condition and what it entails ...to various doctor and specialist appointments ...to seeing about special accommodations both at home and at school, the list of things that must be done can seem endless. Fitting time and effort into more than cursory attention to your neurotypical kids who are also under your care can easily fall by the wayside without you realizing it.
Sibling relationships can be challenging when one child has Aspergers. Siblings often do not understand this disorder and the challenges that it creates. Also, the child with Aspergers may take attention away from the other children, and may even embarrass the other children because of his inappropriate behavior. The family as a whole will face challenges beyond those of the typical family.
Siblings of a child with Aspergers may:
- Be overly helpful to get attention
- Feel alone or jealous
- Feel angry towards their sibling
- Feel embarrassed or bitter when they have to include their sibling in social situations
- Feel guilty for not having the disorder
- Feel resentful for having to care for their sibling
Sometimes the jealousy and resentment comes not so much from the extra time or attention their Aspergers sibling gets, but from a lack of understanding about why he gets that extra time or attention. Siblings might understand that their Aspergers brother or sister has a developmental disorder, but not understand the full effects of what that means. So, have them help you care for their sibling. Maybe your neurotypical children can help with homework, or accompany you to a doctor visit or therapist appointment to see what really happens there. You certainly don't want to make any of this their full time responsibility, but by doing it once or twice, it can help open their eyes up to just why it is that you have to devote the extra time or attention to their Aspergers sibling. It can also make them more compassionate to autistic kids in general.
Being organized is essential. Keep track of your efforts. One of the best things any mother or father can do to is to schedule not only doctor and other appointments, but also certain events such as playtime. Be sure to set aside time for each child individually, at least once a week if not more, along with other family time. This does not mean you can't be spontaneous, but it does allow breaks in your busy pace to occur more often if you purposely pen them in between all the other appointments.
Don't be afraid to talk about Aspergers and the effects it is having on your family. Siblings need to understand this disorder to the extent that they can, based on their developmental stages.
Sibling rivalry can be a healthy sign, as it is common in all families and indicates that the child with Aspergers is being treated as any other sibling would. However, recognizing that this child can present some very real and challenging behaviors, it is important to prevent aggressive behaviors.
• Anonymous said... Finding balance is a difficult thing. I know that my 10 year old feels I give his younger brother (9 year old with ASD) much more of my time and its probably true. It's a tough situation to always be in. I've talked to my oldest about the challenges our youngest deals with and he'll give his brother a break for a liitle while, but before you know it...he's right back to pushing his brother's buttons. So wish I could have a day of peace.
• Anonymous said... If you find an answer Please, Please share it! I have a 16 year old that does not have ASD and a 15 year old with ASD
• Anonymous said... That is a tough job and it will wear you down real fast and in a hurry. My family has gotten a lot of help from ICM's and other therapists and still at times I want to pull my hair out but I do my best to be patient. It's hard being the only peace maker in the home and it's even harder when others do not want to understand. That's the case in my home anyway. Sometimes there's just not enough caring to go around. My oldest son has Aspergers and he's 14 and slowly I have learned to live with certain things and deal with things when it comes to him but when it comes to others in my home I almost have no tolerance for their actions and behaviors towards my oldest son. Sometimes I feel he is picked on just to get a rise out of him and if it wasn't for the help we get I would have already went crazy. I count on resources a lot and I am always looking for more ways to help my son and help my family.

When Mike Wilkinson was attending a boat show, he made sure to book a hotel room with a refrigerator. Wilkinson is a type 2 diabetic, and he needed to keep his insulin cool to preserve it. But when he arrived at the hotel, all the refrigerator rooms were taken – forcing him to spend the rest of the trip worrying if his insulin was overheating.
Situations like this are routine for diabetics, who constantly have to keep their insulin cool even on the go. Most resort to heavy coolers or ice packs, which aren't reliable, or large insulin cases.
Searching for a better solution, Wilkinson founded Kewl Innovations and created ClimaPak, a high-tech container that monitors and controls insulin temperature. It's designed to be portable – less than 2 pounds in weight and only 8 inches high – and the battery charge lasts for 3-5 days. The Dallas startup hopes to offer diabetics freedom of movement, freedom from worry, and the more active lifestyle they need:
"Insulin makes the body store more fat, requiring more activity to burn that fat. If you are chained to a refrigerator, it's difficult to take the steps you need to combat this unpopular side effect," explains community engagement specialist Shayne O'Sullivan.
With funding from the Houston Angel Network, ClimaPak will be available around late summer 2012, but you can meet the team at our Tech Cocktail Dallas mixer tonight.

The Hard Left's Undying Hatred For Maggie Thatcher: Union Selling Shirts Celebrating Iron Lady's 'Death'
T-shirts celebrating the prospects of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher dying have been withdrawn from a stall at conference of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) in Derbyshire.
According to a report in the Daily Telegraph newspaper, the shirts cost £10 each and featured a slogan declaring that union members will "dance on [Thatcher's] grave" when she passes away.
The spectacle was quickly condemned by both Brendan Barber, the TUC's general secretary (who called them "tasteless and totally inappropriate") and the leader of the Labour Party Ed Miliband (who reportedly "deplored these sentiments.")
Conservative MPs also attacked the shirts and the sentiments behind them.
Conor Burns told the Telegraph: "These sickening sentiments speak to something disordered in the human condition. It shows an ugly side to the hard left who cannot move on from their utter defeat at the hands of this remarkable, but now frail, lady. Not for the first time Lady [Thatcher] shows why she amounts to so much more than her opponents."
Another Tory MP, Aidan Burley, declared: "This sick merchandise tells you all you need to know about some in the union movement -- baseless, cowardly and utterly devoid of morality."
Colin Hampton, from the Derbyshire Unemployed Workers' Centre, who operated the stall, told the Telegraph that he had sold the anti-Thatcher memorabilia to purchasers from as far away as Singapore, Thailand, and Belgium.
"I am not wanting Thatcher to die," he said. "But when she dies, there will be a reaction."
Hampton added: "The TUC asked me to take the T-shirts down so I have said yes. I realize they are not to everyone's taste. We have merely tried to use Thatcher's entrepreneurial spirit to raise funding for unemployed workers who desperately need it."
Dan Hodges, a Labour Party supporter, also criticized the T-shirts in a column in the Telegraph.
"T-shirts glorying in the death of Mrs. Thatcher are sick," he wrote.
"Taking out your political frustrations on an ailing pensioner is cowardly. And the whole exercise is utterly devoid of any morality."
However The Telegraph noted that although the t-shirts were removed, other shops at the conference sold out of other items, including balloons and fireworks that are designed to be deployed when the 87-year-old Baroness dies.
Other t-shirts and coffee mugs bearing the slogan "I still hate Thatcher" are on display at the TUC annual conference in Brighton.
Thatcher earned the unending enmity of British trade unions and the far left during the 1980s when her government implemented harsh laws against strikes and tried to drastically reduce the power of unions.
Thatcher's most contentious battle against unions involved the coal miners – after the National Coal Board planned to close 20 mines and lay off 20,000 jobs, the National Union of Mineworkers called a massive strike.
The union eventually lost as Thatcher refused to meet any of their demands. Ultimately, 150 coal mines were closed and tens of thousands of jobs were lost.

Judge John Cleland Recuses Himself From Sandusky Case, Suggests Disciplinary Action
Judge John Cleland, who has specially presided over the Jerry Sandusky case since its initial presentment in 2011, filed a court order this morning officially recusing himself from the case.
Cleland attached his opinion to the order explaining his reasons for recusing himself from presiding over further rulings in the case. He says Sandusky's attorneys jeopardized the integrity of everyone associated with the grand jury investigation and subsequent trial and conviction. "Now [the defendant's attorneys] have chosen to impugn the integrity of the court itself," he said.
Sandusky attorneys requested Cleland's recusal in May 2016 after finding out he met "off-the-record" with Judge Robert Scott in December 2011. Cleland denied the motion for recusal at that time, but says he "left the door open."
Attorneys in Sandusky's Post Conviction Relief Act case were ordered to submit their final trial briefs by November 14. In their brief, Cleland said Sandusky's attorneys "had chosen to base their argument on what, because of my May 10, 2016 Memorandum and Order, they knew was an incomplete account of what happened at the meeting. Instead of asking me to revisit my recusal order and thereby obtain my testimony, they elected to rest on an a clearly misleading record."
On November 15, Cleland ordered Sandusky's attorneys to notify him if they planned to call him as a witness or to withdraw the footnote related to the meeting. Attorneys responded they would take neither action.
Cleland recused himself voluntarily, saying:
PCRA counsel have elected to call into question my fairness and impartiality without requesting my testimony and, by doing so, have created a cloud over these proceedings. It would be imprudent to allow such a cloud to linger and to permit it to cast a shadow on the legitimacy of the court, or any decision I would make on the merits of the defendant's PCRA petition, especially when that cloud can be so easily dissipated by my voluntary recusal and by presenting my testimony before a judge appointed in my stead.

Makeup Review: Tarte Pin Up Girl Amazonian Clay Blush Palette
Hey ladies! The holidays are upon us and as many of you probably know, a bunch of cosmetic companies have realeased stunning holiday gift sets and I am obsessed! This year Tarte released the limited edition Pin Up Girl Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush Palette. I've attached the pictures and swatches below!
This is the outside packaging. It is designed to look like a cute holiday clutch. It is a metallic gold pleather clutch with lavender print and it comes with two little bobby pins. They are cute but I would certainly get no use out of them. I personally am not that big of a fan of the clutch idea. I mean no one would actually carry around a clutch of blushes. If it had a pocket in the clutch for a lipgloss or lipstick and enough room for a little brush then it might be a bit more convenient. But as for right now, its not the most suitable packaging for storing neatly.
Tarte's 12 hour amazonian clay blushes are some of the best blushes on the market. Their colours are stunning and buttery to the touch. They are super pigmented and they blend really well. The best factor is that they are truly long lasting. Blush usually fade on me after a couple hours but these guys really held up the whole day!
This is a picture with flash.
Here are the swatches! They are so stunning, they are mostly satin finishes, some have more of a sheen than others. The colours names from left to right are: Breathless, Embraced, Whimsy, Bashful, and Irreplaceable. All new shades!
Overall I give this palette a 7/10
Blushes are absolutely phenominal but the packaging kinda ruins it for me. I would have preferred if it was in a slim cardboard type packaging instead.
That's all for this review, hopefully it was helpful for anyone interested in this palette!

The blush colours look really nice! and i have to agree with you on the packaging, they could have done something better lolReplyDeleteReplies
They did such a great job on the colours and formula that its a shame the packaging sucks so much! But it looks nice ony my makeup counter!Delete
I love that it's in a clutch! Probably because I love clutches but I agree if it was lipsticks I'd be able to carry it! ;)Delete
I wish it had a little extra pocket to carry a lipstick in! It would be more convenient! But its still pretty!Delete
I have this too! The Blushes are pretty! aww I like the packaging :) Thanks for stopping by my blog.ReplyDelete

140. As a long experienced backbencher, I warm
to the discussion which seems to suggest that the higher up you
go, minister or chairman, the more likely you are to be found
corrupt rather than a mere backbencher who has no influence at
all on taking his seat. This gives me some encouragement to remain
on the backbenches! One point I would like to go back to is that
on treating MPs differently to local councillors, the point that
Sir Patrick raised. I was not quite sure which way we were going
to go on that. Were we going to treat MPs the same as councillors
or councillors the same as MPs, and how far down the line does
this go? Does it just go for corruption or does it go for any
fiduciary problem that you may find by a councillor, for instance,
misuse of public funds or misuse of taxpayers' money? Can MPs
who are on the Defence Committee, for instance, be accused of
wasting taxpayers' money by the defence budget being three times
over that which was estimated or agreed? How far down the line
do we go?
(Mr Straw) I think you may be raising the issue of
surcharge there. The Nolan Committee have made recommendations
about surcharges and proposed that surcharge of councillors should
be removed and in place there should be an offence of misuse of
public office, which should apply to any holder of public office.
We are considering that recommendation, but I obviously understand
the arguments in its favour. On the wider issue, Mr Williams certainly
was a long-standing Member of the Public Accounts Committee and,
indeed, still is, and I am sure he could advise you on the various
sanctions which are available to the Public Accounts Committee
if there has been waste by ministers, permanent secretaries or
Members of Parliament, but I think that is a wider issue and I
am not sure we ought to get into that.
141. Just to pursue for a moment the consistency
with other holders of public office, you have made a number of
references to the common law offence of misuse of public office
in your paper, and again today. I wonder if you could give us
a slightly more full explanation of where you see the Government's
position as of now on this, because this does seem to provide
quite a substantial way forward. I am very sympathetic to your
point about consistency. I do not take Sir Patrick's view. I think
all holders of public office have common duties and responsibilities,
but I am not clear precisely where you see this fitting within
the overall package?
(Mr Straw) We raised in this document, and it was
also raised in the report of Lord Nolan's Committee, that, as
I say, this new offence of misuse of public office should replace
surcharging and, indeed, expand the criminal law more generally.
We are still considering that in the light of representations
made to this document and to the Nolan Committee report, but if
it appears that there is pretty substantial support for such a
change, obviously we will take account of the extent of support
for change if we are going to propose one.
142. You would anticipate that Members of both
Houses could fall fairly and squarely within the categories of
people who could be considered under this?
(Mr Straw) There is an issue about who is an office-holder.
143. Exactly. That is why I am asking.
(Mr Straw) There is much to be said on that point.
Miss Stewart is writing me a note. She may want to speak for herself.
(Miss Stewart) The whole question of misuse of public
office obviously is quite a difficult one in determining the precise
definition of "public office", as the Home Secretary
was just saying. It was an issue on which the Nolan Committee
asked for views. There is the question of whether it should apply
more generally, for example to education authorities, as well
as the question of how it should apply to Members of the House.
The Nolan Committee in its paper drew specific attention to ministers
and I think implied that ministers clearly would be covered but
raised a more general question about whether it should go further.
That is an issue on which we have not yet reached any final view
and we need to consider the comments that people make, indeed
some of the views that are being discussed here.
144. But from what the Home Secretary said this
morning, for example, the chairman of a select committee would
seem to be only in a matter of degree a step away from the power
of a minister, so there would be logic?
(Mr Straw) Yes, there would be logic. You may see
the way my mind is working. These are always, as ever, matters
of degree. Where do you draw the line?
145. How much do you mind a constitutional change
which would oblige somebody who was not a defendant MP but somebody
who was subpoenaed to give evidencehow much do you mind
a constitutional change which obliges somebody who has always
been recognised to owe a duty to his constituents and to Parliament
to come before a court in criminal proceedings and be cross-examined
as to why he exercised his judgement in a particular way? Do you
see that as something simply as a matter of gradationyou
have more than once referred to the changes which have been made
in the scope of parliamentary privilege, freedom from arrest and
so forthor do you see this as something considerably more
substantial than that?
(Mr Straw) I think I see it as a matter of gradation.
I know there is a prior issue of principle but I think we can
take comfort in the fact that it would happen very rarely indeed.
I also go back to the analogy, which I think is a fair one in
this area, with local government. We have elected local councillors
who owe similarnot the same but similarduties to
Members of Parliament to their constituents and who are supposed
to speak and act without fear or favour. I believe that where
allegations of corruption against members of local authorities
have been made, as they have beenthere has been a series
of convictions over the yearsissues have arisen as to not
only the conduct of those individuals who have been charged but
also of their colleagues who have not been charged and some have
ended up in the witness box. That is what happens with criminal
trials and I think there are consequences which go with the changes
which I am proposing which, as I say, I do not resile from. This
is one of them. It will not happen very often. I think it will
be a matter for the judge to ensure that the evidence which is
sought is relevant, that it does not turn into the kind of excursion
that Lord Archer was worried about, and I think that, although
it will represent a departure in terms of potential obligations
of being a Member of this House, there is a greater good achieved
by it, namely, that Members of Parliament are no longer, as it
were, above the law when it comes to corruption.
146. Do you recognise as a practical distinction
or not what was put to you by the Chairman some time ago, that
a particular change might be one which was limited to the actions
of a Member of Parliament which did not constitute the proceedings
in Parliament, and we have all of us been referring to the case
of Mr Greenway? I suspect that Mr Bramley would be able to give
us the answer whether there was an acquittal at the direction
of the judge or not. I am sorry to say that although I was Attorney
at the moment I cannot remember exactly whether that was the case
or not. But while he is thinking, that was a case, was it not,
where there was no added-on factor of a question asked in Parliament?
These were specific actions which you yourself, Home Secretary,
have characterised, though without, of course, being held to the
detail, which are outside any parliamentary proceeding. Would
there be, for example, in your view, a practical halfway house
in which the anxieties which have been voiced round this table
about letting the courts examine why persons not defendant MPs
acted as they did in parliamentary proceedings, could be excluded,
where, as part of the prosecution case, there was no element of,
"Oh well, you asked a question," or where no question
had been asked and, therefore, it could not be part of the defence
case? Do you see it as a kind of dividing line? It would not give
you everything you wanted but it would make the point which you
wish to make that corruption or corrupt behaviour has to be subject
to the same sanctions, notwithstanding the defendant is a Member
of Parliament, as are loaded on everybody else and you will be
able to say it is only out of the special circumstances that affect
a Member of Parliament as the legislature in this country that
we do not enable the courts to go further than the Bill of Rights
(Mr Straw) Lord Mayhew, I understand the case, and
as I said earlier, this was raised in the consultation document
published by the previous administration in December 1996. I really
think there are quite severe practical problems about drawing
this kind of distinction between what happens in Parliament itself
and what happens outside, and aside from the practical problems
there is an issue of principle, which is that I think it would
make for really quite severe difficulties in terms of the reputation
of Parliament if members of the public saw a situation where someone
was able to evade conviction when he or she could have been convicted
if evidence which is on the public record anyway by definition
could have been adduced before the court, and I think the public
would regard that as a very odd situation. I would also say that
I find persuasive one of the arguments used in this consultation
document. It is in paragraph 16. They recite the arguments against
making MPs subject to the criminal law and then go on to say:
"But the contrary view is that disapplication of Article
9 of the Bill of Rights is unnecessary since the corruption is
complete when the bribe is given and accepted for a corrupt purpose;
what happens thereafter in Parliament is nothing to the point."
It then says: "However, it may be necessary to consider the
conduct of the Member in question, in Parliament, as evidence
to prove that the offence was committed." I think if one
is searching for a way through these theological thickets, then
what is said in paragraph 16 provides a quite useful route.
147. Home Secretary, may I raise with you another
possible implication of criminal legislation. Under the Scotland
Bill Members of the Scottish Parliament would appear to be subject
to the Prevention of Corruption Acts without qualification, and
the Scotland Bill also adopts something very similar to the advocacy
rules contained in the House of Commons Code of Conduct but treats
breaches of the rule as criminal conduct rather than as a matter
for parliamentary discipline. If MPs and Peers are made subject
to the criminal law in relation to bribery, will the next step
be that paid advocacy would become a criminal offence?
(Mr Straw) The Westminster Parliament is sui generis,
as I think everybody here knows. There is a profound distinction
which is reflected in the text of the Scotland Bill, which is
that it is the Westminster Parliament which is sovereign and the
Scottish Parliament which is being made by the Westminster Parliament.
I am not going to talk about parish councils on this occasion
but what is the case is that whenever Parliament itself has set
up new institutions, including institutions a million miles away
from parish councils, like a Scottish Parliament, and very august
and dignified bodies like the Scottish Parliament, it is duty
bound to lay down schemes of arrangement for the conduct of Members
and in that particular there is a parallel to be drawn between
what Parliament over the years has done in respect of other public
bodies like local authorities and health authorities and what
it is now doing in respect of the Scottish Parliament. This is
a new institution. It does not have a thousand years of history
to rely on and all the conventions that go with it, nor does it
have Erskine May, and I say that in a very serious way,
which amounts to the nearest statement we have of constitutional
principle and practice and which is regarded as authoritative.
So we are starting from scratch and it is, therefore, very important
that rules of probity should be laid down from scratch. Different
considerations may apply to Parliament, although I have given
the Committee the benefit of my opinions this morning.
148. Can I next seek your help on one aspect
of the substantive definition of the criminal offence. There are,
of course, a number of material differences which distinguish
the position of a Member of Parliament from the public officers
to whom the Prevention of Corruption Acts apply, for example the
independence of their position, their accountability to their
constituents, duty to exercise free speech and to call the executive
to account, and there may properly be thought to be even more
differences when the unique position of Peers is considered. In
both Canada and Australia this has been recognised by specifying
an offence relating only to bribery of Members and Senators. In
Australia, for example, there is a provision that a Member who
receives a benefit of any kind for himself or anybody else on
the understanding that the exercise by him of his duty or authority
as a Member will be influenced or affected is guilty of an offence.
If this Committee were minded to suggest that if there is to be
criminal legislation Members of the two Houses should be specially
provided for in legislation rather than made subject to a general
offence of bribery, would this encounter any fundamental objection?
(Mr Straw) I do not think so, my Lord. It is, frankly,
as you have indicated, a complicated issue and it requires a lot
of further thought. As I have indicated, I have had a good deal
of clarity of many of the issues here but this is one on which
for me I am still thinking.
149. You will have seen the evidence given on
this question of bribery by the Clerk and the Clerk Assistant
of the House of Commons to this Committee in December. The thrust
of parts of their evidence is different from the course you are
now currently favouring. Are there any particular comments you
would like to make on any parts of their evidence?
(Mr Straw) I confess I did not read every word of
their evidence but I have read a pretty thorough summary of their
evidence. I would say, with respect to them, that I think they
were pointing out, as they are duty-bound to do, the difficulties
in making any change in each case and there are always reasons
for not doing things and usually only one reason for doing something.
As I have indicated, my Lord Chairman, my own view is that although
there are plainly disadvantages in making Members of Parliament
subject to the general criminal law, those disadvantages are overridden
by the advantages of so doing.
150. I would like to pass for a moment from
the particular topic of bribery and ask for your assistance more
generally on the question of parliamentary privilege. Have you
any view on whether Members should be immune from prosecution
under the Official Secrets Act in relation to statements made
in the House?
(Mr Straw) I do not believe we should be immune from
prosecution, because otherwise one could envisage situations in
which Members of Parliament and presumably accomplices outside
could subvert wholly the purpose of Parliament in passing the
Official Secrets Act, namely, to preserve information which ought
necessarily to remain secret. So I do not think there is any good
reason whatever for that.
151. Would the incorporation of the European
Convention on Human Rights into United Kingdom domestic law as
presently proposed have any implications for parliamentary privilege?
(Mr Straw) I do not think directly, my Lord. There
are greater experts around the table here than I am and it is
worth repeating always that, as is known, what we are proposing
is not new substantive rights in respect of British citizens,
British residents, but simply to make those rights more accessible,
and these are rights which technically have been available to
institutions and individuals in this country for 50 years and
sometimes are available to them if they are willing to take the
long, tortuous and expensive route to the European Court of Human
Rights in Strasbourg. So we do not anticipate it. I am open to
correction by my better informed colleagues.
152. I think more than once you have mentioned
the need for accessibility. Have you a view on whether parliamentary
privilege should now be codified into a single statute?
(Mr Straw) No, I am sorry, I am going to bat that
one back. I think it is a matter for your Committee, not for me.
I am here to give advice on a narrow issue of the law on corruption
and bribery. I think it would be pretty difficult to codify parliamentary
privilege into a single statute, would it not? There would be
the question of how that would help, but anyway, there are many
distinguished lawyers, my Lord, on your Committee and maybe you
will come to this view.
153. Can I, as we finish, return to the question
for a moment of timetable. As you appreciate, the Committee wholly
understands and sympathises with the Government's wish to make
progress as soon as possible. The Committee is also conscious
that if Members of Parliament and Peers are brought within the
scope of criminal legislation, as you are currently favouring,
this would represent an incursion into the protection of Article
9 of the Bill of Rights and the Committee has in mind that it
might be unwise for it to make a recommendation relating to the
particular incursion represented by the proposed criminal legislation
for bribery without considering the problem in the round in relation
to all other issues where questions of that type arise. That is
the difficulty that is facing us, that it might be undesirable
for us to express a view on one aspect in advance of and separately
from the other respects in which Article 9 would have to figure
in our recommendations. You mentioned a deadline of four to six
months. We shall have that in mind. If we are not able to attain
it and if we are not able to accede to your invitation to produce
a separate report in advance, I am sure you will accept it is
not through lack of sympathy or willingness to assist?
(Mr Straw) I am very grateful to you, Lord Nicholls,
for putting it in that way. I said what we would find desirable
from our point of view, but obviously on this issue I am very
much in the Committee's hands. I have already made it clear that
I think it would be an unwise Home Secretary who went to the House
of Commons with proposals for change in this area without the
benefit of your Committee's advice but I understand the argument
that you have advanced. I think that it is very much a matter
for you and the Members of your Committee and not for me.
154. If there are no other questions, may I
thank you, Home Secretary. We are grateful to you and to the members
of your team for your assistance.
(Mr Straw) Thank you very much.

Not content with what had become an institution, American Bandstand, anchoring ABC's Saturday lineup, Dick Clark added a 2nd series, Happening '68, as a companion piece. As noted last time, Mark Lindsay, lead singer of Paul Revere & the Raiders, was tapped to host the series. While Happening was cancelled after 1 season, in effect folded into Bandstand to signal the end of Clark's little experiment, Lindsay would forge a solo career of his own before rejoining the Raiders for 1971's "Indian Reservation". Here's Mark, introducing a performance by Sundown Connection:
Regrettably, this is the only other clip of the series I can find, after posting "Proud Mary" by Creedence Clearwater Revival last time. A pity, considering that it represents a footnote in musical history as it relates to television.

Update on the contest - Buccura Seifert's submission won and is now officially in-game
I kind of liked the idea and thinking of making it an ongoing thing - maybe like a weekly rotation of the most popular user-submitted article?
I'm just looking at that and wondering if "Parish Agreement" is an intentional fictionalisation/reference for the Paris Agreement, or if it's a typo.
Yea one of the stipulations was no real-world references, so I just added the extra h to let it slide ;p

OXFORD An Oxford woman has pleaded guilty to failing to provide for a pig, a pony and a horse that were seized by the Chenango County Sheriffs Office in March.
Lida Cassata appeared in court Monday without an attorney and agreed to pay $3,000 in restitution to the SPCA, which has been overseeing the care of the seized animals. For pleading to the misdemeanor, Cassata will also be placed on three years of probation.
We have an agreement, judge, to satisfy both the criminal and the civil ends, said attorney Michael Ferrarese, who represents the SPCA on a pro bono basis.
Cassata had little to say during the eight-minute proceeding, other than to state she waived her right to an attorney and to plead guilty to the charge. Prior to the appearance, Cassata met with both First Assistant District Attorney Stephen M. Dunshee and Ferrarese in a closed-door conference, saying her primary concern was getting her animals returned to her.

CHEYENNE — The Wyoming Supreme Court has reversed a Campbell County man's conviction on a felony stalking charge.
The court issued a ruling Wednesday sending Daniel Brian Walker's case back to Campbell County District Court for a new trial.
Justice Barton R. Voigt wrote the court ruling. Voigt stated that District Judge Michael N. Deegan gave the jury conflicting and misleading instructions on the elements of the crime that prosecutors had to prove.
According to the court ruling, Walker was charged with stalking after his ex-wife reported he had approached her and made a remark while she was shopping at a store in March 2010. She had secured an earlier protective order against him.

Many Hindus believe that if you are suffering, it must be because you created some bad karma by doing some bad thing(s) in this or a prior life. They also believe that the only way to work off bad karma is to accept the resulting suffering. So, they often ignore those who are suffering, lest they interfere with their karmic conditioning.
In contrast, the Buddha taught that one should help the suffering. However, the primary motivation should be to help shed your own ego, and so progress toward your own enlightenment. Is this true compassion in action or rational self-interest?
Buddhists do not have a reputation of being major participants in the providing of humanitarian aid. One such Buddhist humanitarian group, the Dai no Shin Ji Buddhists, notes on its website: "Unfortunately Buddhist organizations do not often have a name for being able or operating Humanitarian projects or relief projects. It is sad but true." A stated purpose of the group is to "provide training to Buddhist temples and humanitarian agencies to improve their skills and productivity."
The Dalai Lama talks a lot about compassion. When he does, does it mean the same thing that it does to Westerners? Perhaps not. There are various reasons for the limited activity of Buddhists in humanitarian efforts. Each of these is inherent in Buddhist beliefs and practices.
First, if you believe this world is an illusion, then your goal is to escape it, via becoming enlightened. So, it is more noble to meditate intensively for weeks on end than it is to bring a meal to a shut-in. And if this world is an illusion, what is the point of working hard and earning a good living? It may not be a coincidence that most Buddhist countries are less developed economically. Because of this, they generally do not have the financial wherewithal to give generously to humanitarian relief efforts.
Second, if you believe that doing good deeds generates good karma, and that creating any kind of karma, whether good or bad, retards your advancement toward enlightenment, then it is better not to do good deeds. Instead, your focus will be on watch guarding your thoughts to avoid anything negative.
Third, if you believe that your thoughts and words can radically change the world, then you would tend to focus on just thinking good thoughts. That is much easier than providing tangible help to the suffering.
Fourth, when a Buddhist is being compassionate they are usually wishing that all conscious beings would progress toward enlightenment. They might also be coaching someone in how to make such progress. But usually there is little thought of meeting their material needs.
The Bible teaches that thinking good thoughts, without helping the hurting in real ways, has only limited value. James, the brother of Jesus, put it this way: "What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, 'Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." (James 2:14-17, NIV).
What did Jesus teach about the need to help the suffering? His most dramatic words on this are highlighted in his Parable of the Sheep and the Goats in Matthew 25:31-45:
When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
Then the King will say to those on his right, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."
Then the righteous will answer him, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?"
The King will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
Then he will say to those on his left, "Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me."
They also will answer, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?"
He will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me." (NIV)
These are heavy, dramatic words. And yet they strongly emphasize the importance of helping the suffering in substantive ways, and not just of empathizing with them and wishing them well.
In reality Christians are often lacking in compassionate thoughts or deeds. And yet throughout history the church has spearheaded efforts to tangibly help the needy, the injured and the sick and to establish and maintain educational institutions that teach practical skills as well as spiritual values. The history of Buddhism has a different flavor, as well as one might expect, given its emphasis on focusing within.
Jesus taught, "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." (John 15:13, NIV) He was a model servant to others, as exemplified by His humbly washing the feet of His disciples (John 13:3-5). As the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats emphasizes, real compassion includes providing drink to the thirsty, food to the hungry, clothing to those in rags and medical assistance to the sick. Without these, however deep one's feelings of compassion are, they have little substance.

BERLIN — With the shadow of billionaire Haim Saban looming over the proceedings, German publisher Heinrich Bauer is looking to speed up its takeover of bankrupt TV giant Kirch Media.
Company confirmed reports that it wants to finalize negotiations for the acquisition of Kirch Media's multi-channel broadcasting group ProSiebenSat.1 and its vast film library as soon as possible.
Bauer has agreed to buy the Kirch assets for some $2 billion, including $700 million for ProSiebenSat.1 and part of the $1.3 billion in debt attached to the library. Negotiations had snagged on the details of how to structure the new ownership of the library, which is to be a separate holding owned by Bauer and the creditor banks.
However, a deal is in the works to guarantee the film rights shingle a long-term contract to serve as ProSiebenSat.1's main content provider for a fixed period of time; the setup, which would also make the rights firm the main buyer of Hollywood fare for the broadcaster, was a condition for the takeover of Kirch Media and mirrors the structure that existed under Kirch Media's former management. Bauer is expected to end up with 51% of the film licensing operation, although negotiations with creditors continue. Bauer declined to say how long talks would last.
Sources close to the negotiations said Bauer has not decided how much it wants to invest in the new licensing firm. Company's original plan was simply to take over some of the library's debt, although Kirch creditors have been adamant that Bauer inject money into the library in order to keep it up and running.
Meanwhile, Adam Chesnoff, head of Saban Capital Group, met with Kirch Media's management and creditors Tuesday and Wednesday to reportedly present a detailed offer which more or less matched the Bauer bid. Saban is said to be looking to take over the Kirch business with U.S. and European partners.
A Bauer spokesman said the company is not worried about the Saban offer, adding that it would not affect its ongoing negotiations with Kirch's creditors.
Similarly, sources close to Kirch considered it doubtful that Saban had a real chance to upset Bauer's acquisition, although observers did note that Saban's persistence would well have alarmed Bauer execs.

Each year, in a space with lovely views of the city and its setting, the Northwest Film Center presents a cheekily curated selection of entertainments high and low, familiar and eye-opening, meaty and cheesy, with live entertainment beforehand, food and beverages on sale, and a Portland summer evening as the ventilating system and backdrop.
It all sounds like a perfect moment from a Drifters song -- save for the fact that it's held on Thursday nights.
The 2010 "Top Down" series begins tonight with a truly special event: a screening of Alfred Hitchcock's 1929 "Blackmail" with a live musical accompaniment by the Alloy Orchestra, the Massachusetts trio who've made a specialty of composing and performing new scores to silent movies.
There's a bit of a trick here, actually: Hitchcock shot "Blackmail" as a silent film but then turned it into a "talkie" (many people cite it as the first British sound film); the Alloy boys will be playing along to the rarely seen silent version of the film. So even Hitchcock veterans will have something new to see.
The remainder of the "Top Down" schedule is a deliciously varied bit of business: a low-budget crime drama starring Johnny Cash as a killer ("Door-to-Door Maniac"); the pre-teen sex comedy "Little Darlings" with Tatum O'Neal and Kristy McNichol; Fritz Lang's noirish thriller about journalism and justice, "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt"; the so-bad-it's-(supposed-to-be)-good cult classic "Troll 2"; and (my favorite of the bunch), Gus Van Sant's splashy, comic "To Die For," the screening of which also will serve as a reunion night for alumni of the Film Center's School of Film.
The rules for "Top Down" are pretty straightforward: You arrive at 8 p.m.-ish, with, if you're clever, a portable chair or a blanket (otherwise you sit on concrete for a couple of hours: NOT FUN). No pets or outside food and drink are permitted. Stake out a space, then grab a bite or a bevvy and mingle as the music plays. When it's dark enough (usually between 9 and 9:30), the show begins.
It's always a treat to see an older film with a crowd, and the setting of "Top Down" is aces. So don't be surprised if you leave with a smile on your face. And if you hear somebody whistling Drifters tunes on the staircase heading out, be sure to say hello.

(EIC) is pleased to announce that it has extended its deadline for the Generation Next Competition and allow additional film and television, journalism and social media students and classes in Winter/Spring terms to participate. Entrants must apply on or before February 14, 2014, for their opportunity to play leading roles in changing the way people view mental health.
"Many of the students who applied to the competition were introduced to Generation Next in the classroom. Extending the deadline gives faculty who expressed an interest in participating in Generation Next's curricular support program an opportunity to share our mental health resources in the spring semester, and, therefore, to encourage more students in all three tracks of the competition to enroll," said Marie Gallo Dyak, Executive Vice President Program Services & Government Relations.
"I've been looking for an opportunity like [Generation Next] for sometime now and I am very excited to be a part of this competition. I've been personally struggling with my own mental health challenges for sometime now, as well as becoming whole with my identity as a Latino and someone who is looking for his place in the LGBTQ community," said one participant from Cal State Long Beach.
Generation Next, a program of the EIC, is facilitated by TEAM Up (Tools for Entertainment and Media) and supported by the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA), an organization of county governments working to improve mental health among Californians. The purpose of this competition is to empower the next generation of content creators to use the power and influence of media to promote accurate and authentic portrayals of mental health in storytelling, news reporting and social media campaigns, by recognizing their immense talent.
Schools that are participating in Generation Next to date include Chapman University, UCI, UCLA, Cal State Long Beach, Cal State Northridge, Sacramento State, Brooks Institute, Humboldt State, Chico State, Loyola Marymount University, Cal State Fullerton, San Luis Obispo, San Diego State, Cal State Bakersfield, and community colleges across California.
"Mental illness can be a difficult topic to cover and one that is sometimes stereotyped in mass media such as film and television, in addition to the news media. People are so influenced by what they read, see and hear that it is our duty as journalists and filmmakers (aka storytellers) to present the topic of mental illness in a fair and accurate manner. It's time that more information is made available to storytellers so that they can make a positive impact on society," said Stephanie Blumstein, Journalism Professor at California State University, Northridge.
The Generation Next competition will feature three winners – one from each of the three categories (film and television, journalism and social media). Each winner will be rewarded with a $4,000 cash prize and will receive recognition at the 2014 PRISM Awards Ceremony along with mentoring sessions with entertainment, journalism and social media professionals, as well as mental health experts. In addition to this, winners will have their student productions aired on EICnetwork.tv, a global internet television network and be given the opportunity to take part in a collaborative program with Active Minds, a mental health organization led by college students.

This mission relies on providing resource information to the creative community and culminates in recognition of the industry through the national television special PRISM Showcase that addresses accurate portrayals of substance use issues and mental health concerns.

Residents from the B'nai B'rith Homecrest House in Silver Spring, Md., and St. Mary's Court in Washington, D.C., gathered at St. Mary's Court to receive advocacy training from B'nai B'rith professionals, teaching residents how they can speak up for the programs and services that keep millions of seniors healthy at home.
B'nai B'rith Director of Aging and Health Policy Rachel Goldberg spoke to attendees about the importance of federally-funded programs and informed them of the adversity facing many seniors, with 1.47 million elderly households below the poverty line and elderly homelessness expected to rise 33 percent by 2020.
"Our residents know first-hand how important the subsidized housing program is," Associate Director of the B'nai B'rith Center for Senior Services Janel Doughten said. "And they also know how programs throughout the aging network make it possible for them to age in their own homes. We wanted to paint a bigger picture of the problems facing low-income seniors and give them the tools to keep these programs alive. I think we've accomplished that here today."
Following lunch, residents travelled across town to the Rayburn House Office Building for a briefing on the role of supportive housing in the nation's long-term care system. The briefing highlighted the shift in national policy as it moves in the direction of consumer choice and aging-in-place, as well as the dwindling number of supportive housing options for seniors and persons with disabilities.
"We hope this briefing will raise awareness about the critical role affordable housing for older adults plays in creating a successful, cost-effective long-term care delivery system in which people can age in place," Goldberg said.
At the briefing, Homecrest House resident Trudi Addison addressed attendees, as did Morgan Gable, president of the Board of Directors of St. Mary's Court; Kathleen Whalen, policy analyst for the Public Housing Directors Association (PHDA); Joe Belden, deputy executive director of the Housing Assistance Council (HAC); and Sarah Tribe, director of the Information and Referral/Assistance Support Center at the National Association of States United for Aging and Disabilities (NASUAD).

This morning I was able to verify that the migration of waders is in full process in El Abra. If last week it seemed that even the step appeared timidly in the form of 2 or 3 species, the current diversity is high for what is usually common in the area.
There are still at least 2 of the 3 needles I have seen last week, one of them ringed in Holland whose code Iñaki and Egoitz Ikaza read.
Numenius phaeopus In the very beach of La Bola continues the curling antler Numenius phaeopus ., one of my favorite shorebirds, feeding on the little sea crabs that swarm among the rocks. Numerius phaeopus . Next to them were a mixed flock of 2 large plovers Charadrius hiaticula and 8 common correlates Calidris alpina < / i>, most of the specimens with the nuptial plumage. Calidris alpina .
Another species that has increased its numbers is the common archibebe Tringa totanus , with 2 species in La Bola and 9 in Lamiako . They are precious with the nuptial plumage, although the difference with the winter livery is certainly subtle, but with more nuances.
Common Archibebe Tringa totanus .
Having seen its plumage is very beautiful, together with the contrast of the legs and orange oranges make it a beautiful limicola < This is the group of common archibebes that rested in Lamiako in the few rocks that were discovered almost at the high tide.In Lamiako also I could see with Iñaki Ikaza a mixed side of 9 big puffs and 6 common correlates, usual species but that give much vidilla to the Abra. Now the bird is very entertaining for this part of the coast of Biscay.
Charadrius hiaticula .
However, it is the Arriluce dock that could offer me potentially greater satisfactions because last week we saw two fat nuptial correlates, species that I have little sight; however, they were not there today. Those who did not miss their appointment were the Calidris alba tridactyls, of which there were 2 specimens scurrying along the quay blocks accompanied by a common solitary correlation.
March 2015 - Views from Alongside a Border
Then the sister put us to work: loading the large drums, several jugs of water a gallon, and some stretches of pipe to a van. As the wind whined through this lonely place, I realized how the Red Cross flag was exposing against the blue sky.
Calidris alba .
Calidris alba coridactyl Corresponding Author Contact Information E-mail The Corresponding Author Calidris alba .
We have been living in the area of Aridia, a gray pluvial pluvialis squatarola adorned with an intermediate plumage was fed while trying to avoid the waves. Even 2 moths Phalacrocorax aristotelis rested near the shore of Ereaga beach.
Gray plover Pluvialis squatarola .
Dusty Cormorants Phalacrocorax aristotelis (it seems that the one on the left is a 2 c and the one on the right one adult).One that does not abandon us is the dark correi Calidris maritima that has been around for some time, perhaps it is the same one that has passed the winter on the pier; it will not be long before he leaves for his breeding regions in Scandinavia.
Dark coridries Calidris maritima .The Arenaria interpres stone stones do not leave us either, having counted today 7 specimens with winter, intermediate and nuptial plumage.
Finally, note that last week was seen a cobweb correlated by José Ángel in La Bola, a limicola that is not easy to observe in Bizkaia.
Yellow-legged gull Larus michahellis lusitanius .Until next entry!
