Cal Visits Arizona State
Nov. 1, 2002
Complete Release in PDF Format

This Week's Game
Cal returns to action after a much-needed bye week when the Golden Bears travel to Arizona State Saturday, Nov. 9.
With a victory in its final road game of the year, Cal would improve to 3-2 away from home this season, giving the Bears their first winning road mark since also going 3-2 outside Memorial Stadium in 1998. So far in 2002, Cal has defeated a pair of Top 15 teams on the road - No. 15 Michigan State and No. 12 Washington - and will have its hands full with the Sun Devils, who enter their Nov. 2 match-up at Washington State tied for the Pac-10 lead with a 4-0 record and a No. 16 national ranking.
For the Bears to notch their sixth overall triumph of the year, they need to revert to the formula that led to their five wins. In their most recent outing at Oregon State Oct. 26, the Bears lost the turnover battle (-1) and did not lead at the half for the first time all season.Overall, Cal still tops the Pac-10 in turnover margin at +15, recovering a conference-best 15 fumbles, and is led by CB Jemeel Powell's five interceptions.
Offensively, senior QB Kyle Boller, the Bears' all-time leader with 55 touchdown passes, has thrown for 19 scores with just six interceptions. In his fourth year as a starter, he has set personal highs for completions (171), completion percentage (55.2%) and touchdowns. And with 7,281 career passing yards, he needs just 80 more to leap over Pat Barnes (7,360 from 1993-96) for second place on Cal's career list.
Cal -Arizona State Series
After not playing each other in 2001, Cal and Arizona State resume their 27-year-old rivalry this season. ASU holds a 13-9 series edge, including five consecutive wins over the Bears in Tempe. Cal last won at ASU in 1990 when they built a 31-3 lead and had to hold on for a 31-24 decision. In 2000, Cal tailback Joe Igber rushed for 181 yards on only 15 carries, just missing his career high of 182 set against Washington in 1999. However, the Bears could only muster a lone touchdown on the day, as ASU prevailed, 30-10.
A Quick Look at Arizona State
Arizona State, which visits Washington State Saturday, most recently defeated Washington, 27-16, Oct. 26. The Sun Devils, at 4-0, are tied with WSU for first place in the Pac-10. QB Andrew Walter owns a league-leading 153.3 passing efficiency rating with 19 touchdowns. In a 45-42 win at Oregon, he set a Pac-10 single-game record with his 536 yards through the air. The defense is paced by end Terrell Suggs, the national leader in quarterback sacks with 17.5.
One of College Football's Cinderella Stories of '02, California Eyes First Winning Season in Nine Years
Not only has California rebounded dramatically from last year's 1-10 debacle, the Bears have established themselves as a nationally respected program almost overnight. In the Associated Press poll this year, they were ranked 23rd on Sept. 15, received 80 votes-29th most in the nation-Oct. 6, and ranked 30th (26 votes) Oct. 20. To add further credibility, the New York Times' Computer Rankings ranked Cal 12th in the country as the Pac-10's highest-rated school prior to the USC game (Oct. 12). In winning five games this season, California has registered more victories than it had in the previous two years combined (1-10 in '01 and 3-8 in '00). What's more, the Bears have come oh-so-close to being 8-1 through their first nine games. Three of their four losses have come by a combined total of 14 points to three nationally ranked teams that have posted a current aggregate record of 19-5 this year. In the 23-21 setback to Air Force (now 6-2) Sept. 21, a two-point conversion try went awry when a Kyle Boller to Joe Igber pass was batted away at the last second with only 31 seconds left on the clock-a play that probably would have sent the game into overtime if successful. Then a week later, Cal settled for a game-tying field goal (38-38) by Mark Jensen with 7:33 remaining in the game against then-nationally No. 16 ranked Washington State (now 7-1), the Pac-10 pre-season favorite (the Cougars rallied with 10 points down the stretch to avoid a Bear upset). And three Saturdays ago, the Bears bolted out to a 21-3 early advantage over USC (now 6-2), only to lose the lead in the second half before rallying in the late going. Trailing 27-21 with 3:23 left in the game, Cal forced a Trojan fumble and had a chance to go ahead before a Boller interception pass squelched any comeback notions.
Bears Ended 26-Year Washington Hex Earlier This Year, Now Try to Halt 12-Year Win Drought at Tempe
Under the direction of head coach Jeff Tedford, the 2002 Golden Bears squarely have stared history in the face and overcome many previous hurdles. The '02 Bears have beaten two Top 15 teams on the road in the same season for the first time in school history, and last month in Seattle, they applied the breaks to a 19-game losing streak to Washington that had spanned 26 years. This week, Cal journeys to the desert in an attempt to halt another long-running skein against Arizona State. Since the Bears edged them, 31-24, in 1990, the Sun Devils-who own a robust .740 all-time winning percentage at Sun Devil Stadium-have reeled off five straight victories over Cal in Tempe. And those five setbacks have been blowouts, with ASU outscoring California by a combined 189-51 points and the smallest margin of defeat during that stretch being 16 points in 1992 (28-12). Even the Bears' last victory at Sun Devil Stadium wasn't easy, as Cal built a 31-3 third-quarter lead in 1990 only to stave off a furious Arizona State rally to win, 31-24.
Boller Needs Only 80 Yards at Arizona State to Seize 2nd Place on School's Career Passing List
Senior Kyle Boller has ventured where very few Cal quarterbacks have ever gone. Not Craig Morton, not Joe Kapp, not Steve Bartkowski, not Joe Roth. With a 284-yard aerial display in Corvallis last weekend, Boller continued to climb up Cal's career statistical charts. Although his consecutive game TD pass streak was halted at 10 games by Oregon State, his 55 TD strikes are the most in school history and only three away from piercing the Pac-10's Top 10 list (former USC quarterback Rob Johnson is currently 10th with 58). Fast becoming one of the nation's premier quarterbacks, Boller has thrown for a Pac-10 leading 19 touchdowns (tied with ASU's Andrew Walter) this year and has orchestrated upset road wins over two Top 15 opponents-Michigan State (43-22) and Washington (34-27)-in the same season for the first time in school history. His 19 touchdown tosses are also just two shy of tying for second place on Cal's single season list, although he needs 13 TD passes to break the school's all-time record of 31 by Pat Barnes in 1996. Boller continues to zoom up Cal's all-time passing yardage chart, two weeks ago joining the exclusive 7,000-yard club in seizing third-place with his current 7,281 total. Boller, who leap-frogged Rich Campbell (7,174) Oct. 26, needs only 80 more yards to surpass Pat Barnes (7,360, 1993-96) and claim the No. 2 spot on the career list. In 2002, Boller has threaded 55.0% of his attempts (171-311) for 2,116 yards, a career-best 19 touchdowns and only six interceptions through nine games. The Bear signal-caller has also contributed to 23 TDs this year-an average of 2.56 per game-also rushing for three scores and catching a pass for another touchdown. His 15.33 points per game ranks second in the Pac-10 and tied for 10th nationally in Points Responsible For. Some of Boller's success should be credited to Cal's reconstructed offensive line, which has allowed 17 sacks (fourth-lowest in Pac-10) in nine games this year.
Two of Pac-10's Top Scoring Teams Square Off at Sun Devil Stadium This Weekend
On paper, this weekend's Cal-Arizona State clash figures to be a high-scoring affair. The Golden Bears are cranking out 33.4 points per game, which ranks third in the Pac-10 and 21st nationally. The Sun Devils, who have erupted for 65 (Stanford), 46 (Central Florida) and 45 (Oregon) points in games this year, are scoring at a 35.3 ppg clip to rank second to Oregon (37.5 ppg) in the conference and 12th nationally. Since being muzzled for only 10 points in its opener at Nebraska, ASU has averaged 38.5 points per game in the last eight games and has outscored its opponents by a jaw-dropping 308-172 points during that stretch. Cal has already outscored last year's team by 100 points, cashing in 37 touchdowns and 301 points in its first nine games of the season. In comparison, last year's Cal squad tallied 24 TDs and 201 points total over an 11-game schedule and ranked 104th nationally in scoring average (18.3 ppg). In fact, Jeff Tedford's club has rattled off 34 points or more five times this year. A season ago, the Bears didn't score 34 points even once all year (season high: 28 points twice, vs. Washington and at Stanford).
Bears Boast +15 Turnover Margin After 9 Weeks to Rank Fourth Nationally
The Golden Bears, despite allowing 387.9 yards per game to rank ninth in Pac-10 defense, continue to be one of the nation's best in the all-important turnover department. Thus far in 2002, Cal has forced 26 turnovers and committed only 11 for a conference-leading TO margin of +15-the nation's fourth-best figure (+1.67 per game). In fact, that +15 figure is the school's best turnover margin since 1951, when Pappy Waldorf's 8-2 Bears finished with a +21 differential. The Bears lived on the other side of the turnover ledger in 2001, finishing 114th out of 115 Division 1-A schools with a woeful -17 margin. The club's 26 takeaways (4th in NCAA) this fall are already eight more than Cal managed all of last season. Included in that total are 15 fumble recoveries this year-tied for second most in the nation (one behind leader Virginia)-which also is five more than last season's entire output. What's more, Cal has scored no less than 91 points off turnovers this season. The TO wars have been particularly telling in first halves this year, when the bend-but-don't-break Bears have coughed up only four turnovers all year in posting a collective +14 mark during the first 30 minutes of their games. Cal ranks second in the conference in turnovers gained with its 26 total. Who ranks first? The Sun Devils with 28 takeaways.
Divine Intervention: Powell's Next Interception Will Tie Him for 5th Place on Cal's All-Time List
Senior cornerback Jemeel Powell is destined to finish his collegiate career as one of the greatest interception artists in Cal football history. Powell, who ranks second among Pac-10 leaders and 18th nationally with five interceptions (0.56) this year, has made 10 career picks, which ties him for seventh place on the school's all-time list. His next interception will catapult him into a three-way tie for fifth place with Deltha O'Neal and Ron Coccimiglio. Powell has also broken up 11 passes in 2002, giving him 30 for his career to rank second on Cal's all-time list (Chidi Iwuoma leads with 35 passes broken up from 1997-2000).
Igber Continues His Ascent into Cal's Top 10 Lists
Joe Igber was impressive in a losing effort in Cal's last meeting with Arizona State in 2000. He averaged 12.1 yards per carry in squirting loose for 181 yards on 15 attempts at Sun Devil Stadium. By doing so, Igber joined Paul Jones and Russell White as the only Bears to ever rush for 180 yards or more twice in a career (he also churned out 182 vs. Washington as a freshman in '99). Although he has been harnessed to only 133 yards on 45 carries in his last three games against USC (45), UCLA (55) and Oregon State (33), the Nigerian native has rushed for 670 yards on 166 attempts through nine games this year, inching upwards on the Bears' all-time rushing and all-purpose charts. Igber has cranked out eight 100-yard rushing performances in his career-the fourth most in Cal history-trailing only White and Chuck Muncie, who both rushed for 100 yards 15 times, and the late John Olszewski, who accomplished the feat on 10 occasions. Averaging 74.4 ground yards per game this season-the fourth-best figure in the Pac-10 to date-Igber has increased his career rushing total to 2,664 yards. His 670 yards this season eclipses his entire output of last year, when he rushed for only 399 yards on 94 carries before missing the Bears' final four games with a fractured clavicle. He needs 269 yards to surpass No. 3 Paul Jones (2,930). In addition, the diminutive Igber has shot into Cal's career Top 10 in all-purpose yardage with 3,339, the sixth-highest total in school annuals. With 387 more all-purpose yards, he will zip ahead of Jones (3,726, 1975, 1977-79) into No. 5.
Tedford's Club Eyeing One of Biggest Turnarounds Ever
When you finished last season with the worst record (1-10) by a Cal team in 104 years, you know there's only one way to go ... up. But with their impressive 5-4 start, Tedford's Bears have a chance to produce one of the biggest one-year turnarounds in school history. They have already bettered last year's mark by four games, which is the best one-year turnaround at Cal since Keith Gilbertson's 1993 team posted a 9-4 mark following a 4-7 record the following year. The greatest one-year flip by a Cal team came in 1947, when a man named Lynn 'Pappy' Waldorf assumed the head coaching reins and promptly led his Golden Bears to a 9-1 record-a six-and-a-half game improvement from the previous season (2-7 in '46 under Frank Wickhorst).
Jensen Emerges as One of Pac-10's Top Kickers
Always a consistent performer, Cal's senior Mark Jensen has emerged as one of the country's most prolific kickers in 2002. The Pac-10 Special Teams Player of the Week five weeks ago when he reeled off a school-record five field goals in a 23-21 loss to Air Force, the Bears' senior currently ranks fourth in the Pac-10 and 27th nationally in scoring with 77 points (8.56 per game). He has nailed 14 of 18 FG attempts and 35-for-35 in PATs, and has boomed career-best 51-yard (at Michigan State) and 50-yard (at Oregon State) field goals. He is one of only seven kickers in Cal history to convert two field goals from 50 yards or beyond in their career, and is one of only five kickers to accomplish that feat in the same season. Jensen's 40 career FGs also rank fourth all-time at Cal, trailing only Doug Brien (56), Jim Breech (50) and Robbie Keen (47). With his scoring onslaught this year, Jensen has moved into the school's career Top 10 in scoring. His current 214 points rank seventh on the list, with former Heisman Trophy runner-up Chuck Muncie (224 points, 1973-75) his next target.
Led by Special Teams, Bears Uncorking a Bushel of Big Plays This Season
Another contributing factor to Cal's mercurial start has been the big play. In their first nine games, the Bears have unleashed no less than 16 plays that have measured 50 yards and beyond. Special teams have paved the way, churning out significant chunks of yardage with regularity. Cal currently ranks first in kickoff return average (25.0, 9th in the NCAA) and fifth in punt return average (10.8) in the Pac-10. Kick returner LaShawn Ward, who has sprung loose for 56 (at Michigan State) and 55 (at Oregon State) yard returns this year, owns a 28.8-yard average to date (1st in the Pac-10, 6th in the NCAA), while Jemeel Powell-the school's No. 3 all-time punt returner (11.9 avg.)-averages 10.1 yards per punt return (6th in the Pac-10). Ward's 28.8 average ranks fourth in school annals for a single season, trailing only Frank Brunk (29.5 in 1949), Tom Blanchfield (29.4 in '63) and Deltha O'Neal (29.2 in '99). Powell's 90-yard TD punt return in the first quarter at Michigan State Sept. 14 was the longest punt return by a Cal player in 43 years. Meanwhile, Cal's coverage units have been very respectable, limiting their foes to a 17.8-yard kickoff return average (1st in Pac-10) and 10.7 punt return figure. The Bears' kicking game has also been solid, with placekicker Mark Jensen already setting his all-time high for FGs in a season with 14, including the fifth (51) and sixth (50) longest in Cal history.
The One-Year Switcheroo: Cal Changes for the Better in '02
Very few college football programs have undergone such positive one-year transformations the likes of California. After nine games last year, the Bears were saddled with an 0-9 record and were being outdistanced by an average score of 42.9 points to 17.0 points. Nine games into this season, Cal sports its best start (5-4) since 1998 and is outscoring its opponents by a margin 9.8 points (33.4 to 24.6)
Arizona State's Shaun McDonald the Latest in Long Line of Great Receivers Cal has Faced This Year
Sun Devil junior Shaun McDonald is yet another extraordinary wide receiver that Cal must confront during the 2002 season. Thus far this year, the Bears' secondary has been tested by such All-America candidates as Michigan State's Charles Rogers, Washington State's Devard Darling, Washington's Reggie Williams, and USC's Mike Williams. McDonald has been a TD machine for Arizona State, hauling in a Pac-10 leading nine scoring passes this years and 20 for his career. He currently ranks second in the conference behind Arizona's Bobby Wade-another super wideout Cal will face Nov. 16-in both catches (6.88, 55 total) and yardage (117.6, 941 total) per game. McDonald needs six more TD catches to set ASU's career mark, currently held at 25 by Keith Poole and Doug Allen. He also needs only four more catches to surpass the great John Jefferson (1977) for the fourth-most receptions in ASU's single season history. It would be appropriate that Jefferson's name be mentioned this year, as the former consensus All-America and long-time NFL star will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Ind., this December.
Swoboda Tied for First in Receptions, TD Catches among Pac-10 Tight Ends
The Bears' Tom Swoboda, who has snared six or more passes in a game four times this season, plays a key role in Cal's passing offense. He has caught 29 passes for 301 yards and tied for first on the team with five TDs this season. His 29 grabs rank first among Pac-10 tight ends (tied with Washington's Kevin Ware) and are 11 more receptions than the entire tight end corps snagged all last season at Cal. His five TD grabs are tied with Oregon's George Wrighster for most by a conference tight end. And talk about a personal turnaround, Swoboda had caught only a combined eight passes for 89 yards and no TDs during his three previous seasons in Berkeley.
Nine ASU Players Hail from NorCal, including Three from Sacramento's Valley HS
The Arizona State football program certainly has dipped into Northern California to field its 2002 roster, as no less than nine Northern Californians dot the Sun Devils' media guide. Three of those NorCal products-linebacker Ishmael Thrower, who also attended Sacramento City College, center Grayling Love and offensive lineman Zach Krula-graduated from the same high school, Valley High in Sacramento. The others include guards Gino Benedetti (San Francisco, St. Ignatius College Prep), Drew Hodgdon (Palo Alto HS) and Tim Fa'aita (Daly City, Jefferson HS, San Francisco City College), tight end Matt Cooper (Pleasanton, Amador Valley HS), and defensive tackle Shane Jones (Antelope, Center HS, Sacramento City College).
Passing Through the Night: Many ASU & Cal Coaches Have Similar Backgrounds
While none of worked together on the same staffs, several Arizona State and Cal coaches have worked at the same schools in their past. ASU head coach Dick Koetter served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Oregon in 1996-97, the same position that current Cal head coach Jeff Tedford filled from 1998-2001. The Golden Bears' defensive coordinator Bob Gregory, who coached the Ducks' defensive backs from 1998-2000, served last season as defensive coordinator at Boise State-the same school that Koetter held the head coaching post from 1998-2000 before accepting the ASU job last year. Other Cal coaches who joined Oregon's staff just as Koetter left for Boise State include linebacker coach Bob Foster (defensive coordinator at Oregon) and wide receiver coach Eric Kiesau (teamwork coordinator). One current member of the ASU staff, assistant head coach/special teams coach Tom Osorne, did serve three years with Tedford on the Oregon staff as special teams and tight end coach from 1998-2000. And a final twist to this saga of coaches crossing in the night, it should be noted that Sun Devils' cornerbacks coach Ron English, who played strong safety at Cal from 1987-90, coached at San Diego State in 1996-97-a period when Cal defensive line coach Ken Delgado was serving as the Aztecs' D-line coach.
Bear Bytes
Stephen Jackson's 239-yard rushing effort Oct. 26 for Oregon State was the most by an opposing player in 21 years. USC's Marcus Allen gained 244-yards on 46 carries against Cal in 1981Cal's 13 points scored in Corvallis last week was its lowest output of the season ... Throwing a career-high 52 passes at Oregon State, Boller has now set a Cal all-time mark of 1,190 pass attempts during his four-year tenure in Berkeley ... Bear wideout Jonathan Makonnen's eight receptions against the Beavers are the most by a Cal player this year ... There's a significant difference in age between ASU's and Cal's starting lineups. According to their most recent depth charts, the Sun Devils feature two freshmen and seven sophomores among their 22 starters while the Bears are starting only one freshman and two sophomores. In fact, Cal features 14 seniors among its 22 regulars ... This is Arizona State's final home game of the season, as the Devils finish with three of their last four games on the road ... Cal's Boller (at Washington, 10/5/02) and Arizona State's Andrew Walter (vs. Stanford, 9/28/02) join Oregon State's Derek Anderson (vs. UNLV, 9/14/02) as the only Pac-10 quarterbacks to throw five touchdown passes in a game this year ... While Powell ranks second in the Pac-10 in interceptions, it is Arizona State that leads the conference in team picks with 16. Oregon State is second with 15 INTs, followed by Oregon (14) and Stanford (13). The Bears have corralled 11 interceptions this season ... With Suggs and Banta-Cain on center stage, sacks are sure to play a factor in next Saturday's contest. As teams, the Sun Devils (40) and Bears (27) rank one and three, respectively, in sacks among Pac-10 schools. Perhaps the key matchup is ASU's offensive line vs. Cal's defensive line, as the Sun Devils allow the eighth-most sacks (24) in the league ... While Cal's special teams have been very good in '02, Arizona State's units may be near its equal. As a team, the Sun Devils rank third in both kickoff returns (22.4) and kickoff coverage (18.3), and tied for second in field goals (14, with Cal) among Pac-10 schools. In addition, ASU's Tim Parker leads the circuit in punting (42.4 avg., tied with USC's Tom Malone) and Sun Devil K Mike Barth ranks third in scoring (8.7 ppg) ... Prior to their current five-game losing streak in Tempe, the Bears and Sun Devils had split their previous eight meetings in the desert from 1976-90 ... The all-time ASU-Cal series has been full of lopsided verdicts, as only four of the 22 meetings have been decided by less than a touchdown ... Under the tutelage of Tedford, Boller is completing almost 10% more of his passes this year over his career percentage entering this season. Boller owned a 45.1% figure through his first three years in Berkeley, but this season, he's connecting at a 55.0% clip ... Cal head man Jeff Tedford has been associated with teams that have carved out a 26-7 record since the start of the 2000 season, as Oregon reeled off 11-1 and 10-2 marks in 2000 and '01 with Tedford serving as offensive coordinator, while Cal has posted a 5-4 record thus far in '02 ... Coincidence or not? Cal is 4-1 in games that are televised this year, 1-3 when there's no live TV ... Cal has scored on its first possession of the game in six of its nine games this year (4 TDs, 2 FGs). The only times the Bears failed to score on their first possession have been road games at Michigan State, Washington and Oregon State ... Thus far this season (prior to Monday's selections this week), Cal has landed five Pac-10 Players of the Week, tied for second most in the conference. QB Kyle Boller has won the award twice this year, following road upset victories Michigan State and Washington, while K Mark Jensen boomed a school-record five field goals in the Air Force loss to win the award, and PR Jemeel Powell was cited after the Michigan State game for his 90-yard TD punt return. Most recently, LB Tom Canada earned the award vs. UCLA Oct. 19, following his two-sack, two-forced-fumble effort ... Notable Arizona State alumni: the Giants' Barry Bonds, MLB's single season home run king; Warriors' owner Christopher Cohan; baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson; Stephen Knott, former managing partner of Knott's Berry Farm; ABC Monday Night Football broadcaster Al Michaels; Barry Rosenblum, president of Time Warner Cable; and comedian/actor of television's 'Just Shoot Me' fame, David Spade.

Whooping cough, or pertussis, is a bacterial infection that still affects thousands of Americans - in spite of the whooping cough vaccine.
Is the whooping cough vaccine enough to protect your child from pertussis? The fact is that most kids who contract whooping cough have already been vaccinated against the condition.
The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) tells us that the best way to prevent whooping cough is through vaccinations.
Reports and media both speculate that the hysteria surrounding vaccinations is the reason why whooping cough rates continue to escalate.
What these reports fail to mention is that most of the children who contract whooping cough have also been vaccinated against whooping cough.
For example, in 2009 The Star-Ledger reported an outbreak of whooping cough that occurred in 21 fully vaccinated children in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. (1)
In 2010, a team of journalists came together and spent four months investigating the nine California counties most affected by whooping cough. They found that 44 to 83 percent of those who had contracted the infection had been fully vaccinated. Also, in Ohio and Texas, two states that are reported as having record numbers of whooping cough cases, 75 and 67.5 percent respectively of these cases had been vaccinated.
Health officials recommend that children receive vaccinations against whooping cough in five doses, with the first shot at age two months and the final shot between four and six years. The vaccine is not fully effective until all five doses are given. At around 11 or 12, a booster shot is recommended.
The California state legislature recently passed a law in September 2010 in response to the whooping cough outbreak. The new law targets children in grades 7 to 12. Starting with the 2012 - 2013 school year, parents have been told that incoming seventh graders will need to provide proof of vaccination.
It's now recommended that we vaccinate ourselves in order to protect others.
At this point, the CDC recommends that:
Regardless of your choice to vaccinate for the whooping cough or not, it is essential to focus on strengthening the immune system naturally.
A diet that is low in sugar and high in immune-boosting foods like fermented foods and probiotic beverages will naturally protect your child from any infection, including whooping cough. A low-sugar diet also means limiting refined grains and complex carbohydrates.
If you have an infant, diet applies here as well: Infants do best with breast milk, period. Adding formula to an infant's diet for extra nutrition may create more stress for a still-developing system.
Try giving your infant or your child a little juice from a batch of fermented vegetables or a teaspoon of InnergyBiotic. This can safely and gently inoculate the gut with friendly and immune-boosting bacteria.
Other tips:
Pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, is a bacterial infection that continues to plague thousands of Americans, even after being vaccinated. In fact, most children who contract the condition have already been vaccinated against whooping cough.
Although physicians recommend that children receive whooping cough vaccinations in five different doses from ages two months to up to six years, many parents don't realize that they have the right to refuse vaccination.
Whether you choose to vaccinate or not, you can start out on the right foot by strengthening your child's immune system naturally.

Democrats Have Tentative Deal To Drop Public Option (UPDATED)
In an effort to get moderates on board, Democrats have dropped the public option from the health care bill, reports the Associated Press.
But liberals and moderates have been discussing an alternative, including a private insurance arrangement to be supervised by the federal agency that oversees the system through which lawmakers purchase coverage.
Additionally, talks centered on opening up Medicare to uninsured Americans beginning at age 55, a significant expansion of the large government health care program that currently serves the over-65 population.
UPDATE: Reuters is reporting that Harry Reid says reports the public option have been dropped are "not true."Click here for reuse options!

The U.S.'s top intelligence official has greatly expanded the range of federal and local authorities who can get access to information from the nation's vast network of spy satellites in the U.S.
The decision, made three months ago by Director of National Intelligence Michael McConnell, places for the first time some of the U.S.'s most powerful intelligence-gathering tools at the disposal of domestic security officials. The move was authorized in a May 25 memo sent to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff asking his department to facilitate access to the spy network on behalf of civilian agencies and law enforcement.

Customer reviews on the Amazon website are divided on Kate Grenville's 2001 Orange Prize-winning novel The Idea of Perfection. As always with books that have won prizes, there are readers struggling to grasp the special factor that raised the work above the competition: why, in this case, the tale of a mature and unlikely love affair set in a small town in New South Wales saw off shortlisted novels by Margaret Atwood and Ali Smith.
But for every customer who didn't find enough "happened" in Grenville's book, it seems there is another who felt "bereft" on concluding it. For myself, I wouldn't go so far as bereft, but I would say that I missed the fictional, flyblown town of Karakook once I'd closed a final, cold cover on it. It seemed to me that the romance was not so much between Grenville's ornery characters as between the author and an Australia whose searing heat, as one Amazon reader wrote, "can be felt in every page and everything just moves slowly to accommodate it".
Now, in The Secret River, Grenville has written a book that will satisfy her critics' craving for more action, while seeking the bloody source of her relationship with Australia. Its hero, William Thornhill, is based on one of her ancestors. The opening chapters are murkily atmospheric of late-18th-century London: so dark, so damp, so cold and so cramped. In his family's grubby accommodation, "no one could move an elbow without hitting the wall or the table or a sister or a brother".
The only place with any space is the church, where young Thornhill "had never seen such a vault of ceiling and such light. God had so much space it could frighten a boy from Tanner's Lane… It was a void into which his being expanded without finding a boundary, all in the merciless light that blasted down from the huge windows and left everything cold, with no kindly shadows anywhere. It was a place with no charity in its grey stones for a boy with the seat out of his britches. He could not understand any of it, knew only that God was as foreign as a fish."
Just when it looks like our hero is working himself out of the muck, as a champion-oared lighterman on the River Thames, a series of unfortunate events plucks him from those grey London streets (with which Grenville has as much fun as Sarah Waters did in Fingersmith) and sets him and his wife Sal on course for a continent as light-blasted, ungaugeably spacious and spiritually foreign as that urban church.
The couple and their children must attempt to make a life in this new place, where a convict might become a king - or end up a headline in the Sydney Gazette as a victim of one of those "depredations" committed by the shadowy indigenous peoples.
From our modern standpoint, it's easy to stand in blanket judgment of the settlers who pushed the Aborigines from their land and oppressed the wilderness with their crops, fences, trading posts and gin joints. But, in Thornhill, Grenville has created an essentially good man whose hunger for total possession of a piece of land is absolutely understandable.
His pioneer craving to captain his own destiny after so much oppression yanks at the reader to the extent you initially feel you'd be up early with him, felling the trees, turning over the forest floor to plant corn and building a homely shelter for the long-suffering Sal. Grenville, as ever, describes an Australia so overwhelmingly beautiful that readers will lust after a slice of its sunbaked soul, too.
But as faces emerge from the twisted, silver tree, we question, with Thornhill, our contextually absurd claim to ownership of this place. We're embarrassed for him as he lashes out in anger. We want him to do something about those other settlers, downriver, who are loading their guns. In a stark passage, our struggling farmer realises that the strange people he fears have by birth the leisure he is toiling so hard to attain by the standards of his own culture: "In the world of these naked savages, it seemed everyone was gentry."
As the corn rises, relations between the two tribes come to a bloody, tragic climax that leaves the blaze of gold in Thornhill's valley fading to dusk. Although the cliffs by the secret river retain a foreign heat, the final view is as dark and unsettled as the mud at the bottom of the Thames.

We had to wait an agonizing three months to finally hear Charlie Puth's new album, Nine Track Mind after its November release was pushed back, but now it's here…and it's every bit worth the wait.
Charlie, who trained at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, has managed to blend throwback vibes with hip-hop and R&B — and of course, a healthy dose of pop — to create a sound that's all his own. His previous releases featured a mix of covers and songs that relied heavily on the vintage influences of his childhood, but he's grown as an artist in a way that is remarkable. This may be his first mainstream release, but it's a fully polished product, one where almost every single song is infectious, gorgeous, and totally wonderful.
He left off two songs that had originally been included on *Nine Track Mind'*s tracklist, as well as one of the songs that he'd released on the Some Type of Love EP. But we have a feeling those lost tracks will surface some way, somehow. At least, we desperately hope so. Until then, we have these 12 perfect songs to hold us over — and they more than do the trick.
1. "One Call Away"
We were instantly smitten with this track when we premiered it in August 2015 — you heard it on Teen Vogue first! — and we've been playing it nonstop ever since. It's soft and sweet, talking about the things you do for the people you love when they're feeling at their lowest. It makes sense that it resonates, too, because Charlie told us that he loves that moment in a relationship when "you're just hanging out and are so insanely comfortable with that person and you can literally talk about anything." Calling someone when you're upset about something definitely counts.
2. "Dangerously"
A fast-paced piano ballad, this showcases Charlie's talents as a singer, songwriter, and musician. (Is there anything he can't do?) Plus, who hasn't been in a relationship where you feel a little too in over your head? In the grand tradition of songs about doomed romances, this one is definitely something to sing along to in the aftermath of a breakup.
3. "Marvin Gaye" feat. Meghan Trainor
If you haven't heard this song in the past year, where on earth have you been? It's been inescapable in the best way, and the throwback vibe is so refreshingly different from almost every other song on the radio. Plus, you have to admire a guy who can make that many puns about the legendary singer Marvin Gaye and his music.
4. "Losing My Mind"
Charlie told Teen Vogue that he wrote this song because "I thought I was going crazy because I couldn't think of a song to write, and I wrote a song about not being able to write a song." It's kind of meta, but rather than dwell in the irony, Charlie channeled this into a gorgeously understated track. This perfectly showcases his soothing vocals, while the tricks and percussion add an unexpected yet welcome dimension to the song. If you've ever felt the pressure of a deadline, you'll definitely relate.
5. "We Don't Talk Anymore" feat. Selena Gomez
Raise your hands if you've ever described a breakup with those four simple words: "we don't talk anymore." We thought so. This is one of the most relatable breakup duets ever, sung from the perspective of two exes who are ironically thinking about the same thing in the month after their split. The guitar keeps it upbeat, but the lyrics will hit you right in the feelings — just don't go texting that person with whom you don't talk anymore.
6. "My Gospel"
Here is a list of what Charlie Puth would do for your love: rob a bank; burn the money; gamble all of his worldly possessions away; make out with you in a limo; whisk you away to Paris on a first-class ticket; make out with you on top of the Eiffel Tower; make a fool of himself singing karaoke; propose to you. And he does all of this with the most toe-tappingly, hand-clappingly infectious rhythm. This is a total earworm of a song, with ebbs and flows in all the right places.
7. "Up All Night"
Another song that feels all at once like a throwback and a totally modern jam, this is about how you can't quite get over that one person who keeps stringing you along…and you don't quite want to, either. It's a perfect "walk in the crisp early-night air as you think about your life" song, sort of like if your life was a movie and this was the soundtrack that played during a montage.
8. "Left Right Left"
If "One Call Away" and "Losing My Mind" had a motivational baby, this song would be it. Sure, your life might feel difficult sometimes, but you just have to take everything one step at a time. Put this on your study playlist. It's got a vibe like Jackson 5 and other doo-wop groups of old, and will perk you right up when you feel like you can't finish that assignment.
9. "Then There's You"
One of the more modern songs on the track, this fuses pop and R&B in a totally unique way. And that chorus? It features a line so perfect, you'd wish somebody would tell you that directly. (Or you can just pretend that Charlie is singing to you. We're doing just that.)
10. "Suffer"
This is one of the songs rom Charlie's Some Type of Love EP that made the cut. It's all at once frustrated, angry, and stunningly relatable. If you've ever been on the short end of a relationship, you'll instantly relate. (Why is it that we blame ourselves for unfairness in our relationships?) Plus, the plucky piano and finger snaps turn this into something that would make you weak in the knees, even if you tried to resist.
11. "As You Are" feat. Shy Carter
If there's one thing Charlie's great at, it's a love song that makes you feel downright wonderful. Remember that one line in Bridget Jones where Mark Darcy tells our heroine he likes her "just as you are"? This is the musical equivalent of that. And while your relationship might have gone through its ups and downs, isn't it nice to know that someone loves you, faults and all? Of course it is. Newcomer Shy Carter's rap verse is more playful than what Wiz Khalifa or Lil Wayne — two artists with whom Charlie has collaborated in the past — are known for, which adds a new layer of intrigue to the song.
12. "Some Type of Love"
The moody harmonizing immediately sets the tone here: this is a slow jam, and one that builds on the vocals that will sweep you away. Charlie's great at playing around with the tempo of songs, so if you do take a spin on the dance floor to this track, be prepared to dip just as much as you sway.

A reported issued Tuesday by Republicans heading up five different committees concludes that Secretary Clinton's involvement in Libyan security "do not reconcile" with statements she made a public hearings in January.
In her January 23, 2013 testimony before the House Foreign Affair Committee, Secretary Clinton said the following with regard to Libyan security:
You know, Congressman, it was very disappointing to me that the [Accountability Review Board] concluded there were inadequacies and problems in the responsiveness of our team here in Washington to the security requests that were made by our team in Libya. And I was not aware of that going on, it was not brought to my attention, but obviously it's something we're fixing and intend to put into place protocols and systems to make sure it doesn't happen again. … Well if I could – 1.43 million cables a year come to the State Department. They are all addressed to me. They do not all come to me. They are reported through the bureaucracy.
However, the House report published today provides evidence that suggests Sec. Clinton was in fact aware of security requests from Libya. On March 28, 2012 Ambassador Gene Cretz sent a cable to Secretary Clinton requesting "continued deployment of both Mobile Security Detachment (MSD) teams, or at least additional DS agents to replace them, as well as the full five DS agents which the December 2011 memorandum claimed would be stationed in Benghazi." DS stands for Diplomatic Security.
According to the report, a response cable signed by Sec. Clinton on April 19, 2012 "acknowledges Ambassador Cretz's request for additional security but instead articulates a plan to scale back security." The same cable recommended a "joint reassessment of the number of DS agents requested for Benghazi." It was clear to at least one diplomatic staffer in Tripoli what reassessment meant, "looks like no movement on the full complement of [five DS] personnel for Benghazi, but rather a reassessment to bring the numbers lower."
In between the request by Ambassador Cretz and the response from Sec. Clinton, there was an attack on the Benghazi compound. The attack which took place on April 6, 2012 used a "small IED" which caused no casualties.
The House Republican report goes on to note that after Ambassador Stevens took over as Ambassador to Libya in May, he also asked repeatedly for additional security. A June 7, 2012 request was denied. The following month Regional Security Officer Eric Nordstrom "alerted" officials in Washington that he would be filing a formal request for "SST and MSD teams" to remain in Tripoli. But when she became aware of Nordstrom's intent, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Diplomatic Security Charlene Lamb sent an email to State Dept. personnel saying "NO, I do not [I repeat] not want them to ask for the MSD team to stay!"

September 2, 2013 (CHICAGO) --A 22-year-old nightclub security guard was hurt in a hit-and-run in the River North area early Monday.
The security guard was hit while directing traffic in front of the Boardroom Nightclub shortly before 4 a.m.
Chicago police say bar patrons were leaving the nightclub on Erie and Orleans when a dark-colored, possibly gray, BMW traveling eastbound on Erie hit the guard.
No one else was injured in the incident.
There was no immediate description of the driver and no license plate number was released.
The security guard was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital where he was in stable condition and was expected to be OK.
There was no word on if there were any security cameras in the area that caught the hit-and-run on video.

It's with a heavy heart that many of us received the news late Monday that our friend and colleague, Maralee Johnson, has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Maralee is Executive Vice President of the Illinois Beef Association, and has served its members for some 20 years.
Maralee was diagnosed just this past Friday, and the tumor is located in an inner area of the brain where it can't be removed.
As I sit here thinking of Maralee and her family – I went to college with her son, Brent, who now works with Wyffels – I'm thinking of our family, too, and of my own mother struggling with pancreatic cancer.
And of hearing Jennifer Rothschild, who became blind as a teenager, say last spring that "there are words that sink to the bottom of your soul and scrape everything on the way down: Blind. Cancer. Autism."
She is absolutely right. There are no words to convey the sinking, reeling of your heart when you hear that kind of a diagnosis.
And so for Maralee, we will pray. She is a woman of faith and knows that while the doctors place their hopes in radiation and chemotherapy, her fate lies in the hands of the Lord. And as IBA president and Williamson County cattleman Jeff Beasley says, "It is certainly a plus that she is a positive thinking person, and also a strong-willed individual so I am confident that will help her chances of success."
If you've had the pleasure of working with Maralee, you know her to be a warm, caring person. I believe she graced our cover, once upon a time, as well. Like me, she is a 4-H House alumni. And she has done as much as anybody to make the Illinois beef community feel like a family. So like a family, we'll cover her in prayer and know that we serve a God who is both still God and still good, despite our circumstances. On that day last spring, Jennifer Rothschild went on to share that life happens and it is not well with our circumstances but it can be well with our soul. That sounds like a pretty good prayer, too.

Chapter 19: The Theory of Strategy Summary and Analysis
This chapter brings together what has been previously introduced into a new whole. This time, the author educates the reader for the first time in the theory of strategy per se. The first step applied is to provide definitions of strategy and policy and to describe the basics of how and why the present world and democracy especially is not designed to cultivate the superior military political leader. In democratic and other free nations, the military is always subservient to the civilian "body politic", which separates policy from strategy as least as much as Americans have sought some kind of separation of Church and state even when religion figures heavily in the politics of the people and the government.
Next, the writer explains "limited aim", or the strategic goals most often used by...

Personal finance — we all love to hate it. After paying for the essentials, how much do you have left to spend? And an even better question — how much do you have to spend today?
Thanks to TruBalance, your questions are answered. In fact, your budget is your friend. Users simply enter in their recurring bill amounts, income, bank balance, and the minimum buffer. Through their app, TruBalance aggregates this information and sets one maximum amount you can spend each day.
The idea was born out of a frustration with existing tools that analyzed recent spending habits. "What didn't exist was a 30-, 60-, 90-day forecast into the future that tells you how you can spend everyday," explains Jana Harper, co-founder and developer of TruBalance. Users can make sure they don't dip below their lowest comfortable balance.
"We are trying to position ourselves as the anti-budget," said Keith Harper, TruBalance designer. "Most people are more passive and don't keep up with their initial budget goals because it's a lot of details to manage." TruBalance solves this problem by giving them the information without daily maintenance.
Jana and Keith founded TruBalance after participating in a 54-hour StartupWeekend event in Seattle. The team launched the beta version and is currently gathering feedback. Future plans include integrating with banks so that users can link their accounts to the app. Keith explains, "There's so much negativity around bank fees that are imposed on people who are also bombarded with credit cards. TruBalance is pro-giving people the information they deserve."

Marian University inducted Hulman & Company CEO Mark Miles and Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano into its Clayton Family Circle of Honor during a fundraiser dinner April 22 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The Catholic liberal arts university also honored its 1973 baseball team with a M-Club Wall of Fame induction.
The fifth annual Clayton Family Circle of Honor Dinner drew a record 550 people to the Pavilion at IMS, where guests had an opportunity to pose for photos with the Indianapolis 500's famous Borg-Warner Trophy, as well as the Indianapolis Colts' Lombardi Trophy from Super Bowl XLI. Marian University President Daniel J. Elsener announced during the event that the university has already raised nearly $800,000 toward its $1 million annual goal for Marian University athletics.
The Clayton Family Circle of Honor, named for Joe Clayton and his wife Jan, honors individuals who have made an impact on the central Indiana community through athletics. The Claytons believe in the character-building qualities associated with athletics in a university community, including respect, fair play, and teamwork. Past honorees include Bob Knight, Bill Polian, Katie Douglas, Jim Morris and Carl Erskine, among others.
This is the first year that the Clayton Family Circle of Honor Dinner was combined with the Marian University athletics department's annual M-Club Wall of Fame induction ceremony. This year's inductee, the 1973 Marian College baseball team, finished that season 22-8 and District 21 champions. A team led by great pitching and defense all season, the Knights scored 50 runs in the four-game playoffs to win the district championship. Fifteen members of the team, including its head coach, were on hand for the festivities.
This also marks the first year that either event was held at a location other than the university's campus. "Not many people realize that three of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's four founders settled on property that is now part of the Marian University campus," President Elsener said. "In fact, my office is located in the mansion once owned by James A. Allison. Given our shared history, and our mutual desire to assist with the redevelopment of the city's west side, it makes sense for Marian University and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to continue seeking additional partnership opportunities. We're grateful that they've opened their doors and allowed us to use this wonderful facility for our event."
Marian University has worked diligently in recent years to bolster its athletics programs. In 2011, the university hired Indiana University basketball legend Steve Downing to serve as its director of athletics. Downing has since hired 2009 NCAA Coach of the Year Todd Lickliter to head Marian's basketball program, and former Indiana Miss Basketball, Purdue University all-American and WNBA player Katie Gearlds to lead the women's program. In 2012, the university captured the NAIA national championship in football in just the program's sixth year of existence. And, earlier this month, the university's cycling team earned its 25th national championship.
"Marian University is on the rise," President Elsener said. "We've recently opened the state's first new medical school in 110 years, we've risen higher in the U.S. News & World Report rankings than any other college in our category since 2011, and our enrollment numbers are at an all-time high. The success we've seen within our athletics programs really mirrors the overall success of the university, and is an essential component in our mission to educate the next generation of leaders for service to the world."

From St.Cloud, Florida, USA:
My three year old granddaughter who weighs 25 pounds has always been a unhealthy child, and for no reason she gets sick. She has no energy, is lifeless, has fever, vomiting, and a craving for chocolate. The problem is the doctors are not really addressing my questions nor my daughter's.
My daughter took her to the hospital where they told her she needed to get a second opinion and suggested she take her to another hospital. When my daughter ask what they thought was wrong, they said they found sugar in her urine. Could that mean she has diabetes? They did not explain anything to my daughter. How do we find a doctor to take the time to answer our questions in layman's terms? We are very dissatisfied with most doctors we have met.
I regret that you haven't gotten satisfactory responses from the various doctors that you have talked with. I can address some ideas to help you and your granddaughter's doctors to better communicate, and then I will address your specific question about your granddaughter having sugar in the urine.
First of all, despite our efforts and hopes, doctors are not magicians and don't always know what is wrong. Sometimes, unfortunately, it takes several visits to look and study a patient, ask for a few special blood tests or x-rays to see if we can come up with an answer. And sometimes we just don't know. From the doctor's perspective, we often feel that there is a lot of good that comes from that because we can tell you what it's not, although we may not be able to tell you what it is. So, we can help by trying to exclude bad things that might be immediately life threatening.
Another hurdle for families is that for a variety of reasons, people can't or don't make a relationship with the same doctor -- someone who learns to know you and the child. Far too often, people go the emergency room for a non-emergency issue or they go to the local walk-in clinic and see a new person each time. Not all doctors are trained to understand all things. Emergency room doctors have the perspective of emergencies, and they don't have the time or facilities to establish long-term relationships and follow up. Certainly, some family practice and pediatrician offices are busy, too. However, if you call in for a "sick visit" appointment (with, for example, a complaint of stomachache), your doctor's office will devote a relatively fixed time for that issue. If you think you will need more time, let them know, when you make the appointment, that you have lots of questions and would like to have the doctor reserve more time for you. This may delay the appointment, or you may have to schedule a couple of visits, but most primary care doctors have many folks, just like you, who have questions and concerns. By all means, I want you to have your questions answered, and I would hope that your granddaughter's doctor will take as much time as he or she can, but then you can't really complain the next time you are at the doctor's office that you have to wait, and wait.
So to your question -- yes, sugar in the urine can be a signal of diabetes, But several other things can cause the kidneys to spill sugar. The best way to define if your granddaughter has diabetes is with blood tests, some of which may be done first thing in the morning before a meal, others may be done at other times, and some may have to go to special laboratories and won't give an answer for several days. I would still encourage you and her mom to have on-going discussions with the doctors.

Wolves, distant cousins of dogs, played a pivotal role in the 1990 film Dances With Wolves.
Delving into the story of a lieutenant who was posted in a remote Civil War outpost, the movie starring and directed by Kevin Costner told the tale of how a lone soldier made friends with the local Native Americans settling within the area, along with how he managed to befriend another group of locals – the wolves.
The movie stands to be one of Costner's more praised titles, and it generally garnered the appreciation and acceptance of audiences, which is generally opposite to how audiences accepted Costner's later movies and features.
Short answer - yes, but not really like how dogs are kept as pets.
Wolves may be related to dogs, but they do not bear the same tractability as dogs. They may look like dogs, but their natural temperament and disposition calls for differences in how they can be ideally kept as pets.
For one, they require a lot of space. By a lot, an area that's around 10 to 15 square miles would be good for wolves.
Also, as pups or cubs, wolves require more social interaction compared to dog pups. This is because after a certain time, wolf pups are liable not to interact or socialize with human beings well, which could cause problems for wolf pet owners. Care in terms of their interaction with adult wolves will require some monitoring, maximizing human interaction with wolf cubs within the first four months of its life.
Doing away with adult wolf interaction would be difficult, since wolf pups require milk coming from a mother wolf. With wolf milk rich in arginine, milk substitutes won't suffice for wolf cubs, and the lack of wolf milk is known to lead to the progress of problems such as cataracts.
In terms of their temperament and trainability, both wolf traits are not on equal grounds with domestic dogs, with wolves being more hot headed and more fickle to train. As pack animals, wolf instincts are bound by a feudalistic-like structure of alphas and betas too, and pet owners need to stay on top, or at least on equal grounds with a pack's alpha.
Given all that, Dances With Wolves may have been popular, but is the movie's popularity motivation enough to drive you to go out and get your own pet wolf?

My parents didn't smack me and I turned out fine too!
I saw this article recently that said 80% of parents smack their kids. I was pretty shocked, I never imagined it would be so high. I read some of the comments- NEVER read the comments! It was ugly! Some people blaming the other 20% for not smacking their kids, saying this is the reason kids these days have no respect or manners. But with the kids not being smacked being the minority that doesn't really make sense. The most common statement being "my parents smacked me all the time and I turned out fine" while that may be the case I fail to see how be smacked by your parents can benefit you in any way and maybe you turned out ok in spite of your parents smacking you not because of it.
I grew up with 2 young single parents, low income all the rest of it. My parent's both worked full time, my mum also studied full time and had me to look after day to day. My parents didn't use smacking as a form of punishment and I turned out ok too! I learnt to solve problems by communicating, learnt to deal with anger by walking away and learnt to deal with feeling overwhelmed by asking for help.
I do not smack my child, I never will. I fail to see how I can teach my daughter the consequences of her actions by smacking her, no matter what her actions are. My daughter has to deal with consequences of each of her actions depending on the choices she makes, just like life. You show up late to work, your boss isn't going to bend you over their knee are they? No you will get a warning and if you continue to do so you will lose your job. That is the consequence. Consequences are different depending on the action.
I will not teach my child violence, there is enough of that in the world. I do not have the right to hurt her. I do not own her or her body. If I was to do the same to my husband, mother or any other adult, it would be assault. So why would I do this to my child? The rate of child abuse and domestic violence in this country is appalling and something we all need to take responsibility for.
I will not teach my child to fear me, I want to be the one person in the entire world my daughter can rely on, no matter what. I will not teach her to be scared of my reaction if she breaks something as a child, or gets herself in a bad situation as a teen. My child will never think I will physically harm her if she does something wrong. To me my parents disapproval or feeling like I had disappointed them was far more frighting that getting smacked!
To those people who think a child needs to be smacked in order to learn how to behave or be respectful, I will tell you about my peaceful home, there is no fighting, their are no tantrums, there is no hitting or kicking or damaging of property. My child understands there are rules to keep her safe and to help our family. Every morning my daughter gets up, makes her bed, gets dressed and opens her curtains without prompting, without tantrums and without tears. She does it because it is her room and if she wants to enjoy it she has to look after it. If she trashes her room, leaves toys laying around or doesn't look after her things she won't be able to enjoy them. I do not replace things that have been broken because they have been left lying around, she has to deal with the fact that it is broken because she didn't take care of it.
I will not teach my daughter the hypocrisy of me being allowed to smack her but for her getting in trouble (or smacked) because she has hit, smacked, bit, pushed someone else. I will teach her that we use our words not our hands to settle disagreements and if our words aren't working we ask someone else for help. I will not teach her that because I am bigger and stronger than her that I have more rights than she does or that I have the right to hurt her.
I am not a perfect mother, I get cross, I get frustrated and overwhelmed. I raise my voice sometimes when I shouldn't and then feel bad about it and apologise. My daughter feels all the same emotions as I do, sometimes she does things she shouldn't. She feels bad about it and then apologises. I am teaching my daughter to see me as a person with thoughts, feelings and emotions, which is just how I see her.

Should Koncision Maintain a List of Koncision-Friendly Lawyers?
Koncision's confidentiality-agreement template is intended for sophisticated users. No surprise there—contracts can get complicated. So any nonlawyer who wants to use Koncision might well benefit from a lawyer's input. In this 2011 post I describe how a lawyer might help a nonlawyer with the template process. Koncision could facilitate such cooperation by maintaining a list of lawyers … [Read more...]

Frank Costello On The Witness Stands
Here is a picture of Frank Costello on the Witness Stand.
Frank Costello, named the Prime Minister of the Underworld, was one of the most powerful and influential mafia bosses.
