Your Child's Health & Safety
Helping your child avoid the dangers of drugs
Find out how to educate your child about the dangers of drugs and to recognise the signs that they may be using them. You should also know where you can go for help and information, and what to do in an emergency.
Talking to your child about the dangers of drugs
It's never too early to educate your child about the dangers of drugs. You should encourage discussion about them and make sure your child knows to tell you if they're ever offered anything.
Signs that your child may be using drugs
Possible signs of drug use can include changes in your child's:
- appearance
- choice of friends
- interests
- eating and sleeping habits
- mood
- openness with you
However, all these can be a natural part of growing up and a young person who is not using drugs could show the same changes. If you have suspicions, speak to your child but don't jump to any conclusions.
What to do if your child is taking drugs
If you do find out your child is taking drugs, your natural reaction may be to panic. However, it's important you stay calm, talk to them and reassure them. You should:
- Let them explain in their own words what they've done
- avoid asking them why they've taken drugs as it will make them defensive
- not get hung up on blame
- let them know exactly how you feel about the situation
If your child does have a drug problem it's important for them to know that you will be there for them. This could be in the form of answering simple questions or helping them through the difficult process of kicking the habit. Let them know you trust them, but at the same time feel free to show disappointment if this trust is broken.
Getting help from local services and your child's school
Your GP can refer you to local drugs counselling agencies. Your child's school should have a policy on drug education and managing drug-related incidents. The Community Liaison Department of your local police force will be able to answer your questions about the local drug scene and the law.
What to do in case of an emergency
If you find your child is having a bad reaction to something they've taken, there are things you can do to help. You should always try to calm them and be reassuring.
Drugs can be loosely put into two groups – 'stimulants' and 'depressant's'.
If your child has taken a 'stimulant'
If your child has taken amphetamines (speed), cocaine, cannabis, ecstasy, LSD (acid) or magic mushrooms, they might feel tense and panicky. If this happens you should:
- calm them down and be reassuring – try not to let them see if you feel scared or worried
- explain that the feelings will pass
- encourage them to settle in a quiet, dimly lit room
- tell them to take long, slow breaths if they start breathing very quickly
If your child has taken a 'depressant'
If your child has taken heroin or tranquillizers, or misused gases, glues or aerosols, they might start to feel very drowsy. If this happens you should:
- try not to frighten or startle them, or let them exert themselves
- never give them coffee or other caffeine-based products to wake them up
- lie them on their side in the recovery position if the symptoms persist, so their tongue can't fall back and prevent breathing
- call an ambulance if they don't start to become more alert
Keeping your child safe from knife crime
You can play an important role in stopping knife crime becoming a part of your child's life. Knowing the law, talking to your child about the dangers and looking out for changes in their behaviour can help keep them safe.
Know the law
Before talking to your child about knives, you need to know the facts:
- it is illegal for anyone to carry a knife if they intend to use it as a weapon – even in self-defence
- police can search anyone they suspect of carrying a knife
- carrying a knife could mean being arrested, going to court and getting a criminal record, or even a prison sentence
Knives in school
It is a criminal offence to have a knife or other weapon on school premises.
Schools are able to 'screen' all pupils for knives at any time, without consent; even if there is no obvious reason for suspicion (screening is when an electronic 'wand' or a screening arch is used to find metallic objects). They can also search any pupil for a knife without consent if they have reasonable grounds for suspicion, or call in the police to conduct a search.
If a pupil refuses to be searched or screened, the school can refuse to have the pupil on the premises. If this happens, it is seen as an 'unauthorized absence'. This can affect you, as all parents have a legal responsibility to make sure their child attends school.
If a knife or other weapon is found on a pupil, the police will be called and it is likely the pupil will be arrested.
Your responsibility
All parents are responsible for their child's behaviour. If a child is excluded from school for persistent bad behaviour, or criminal behaviour like carrying a knife, then the parents can be given a Parenting Order by the courts. This is designed to improve the child's behaviour and make the parents take responsibility for their child's behaviour.
Talking to your child about knives
The best way to stop your child getting involved with knives is to talk to them about the dangers. This may not be easy, as they may not want to talk about it, but keep trying as this is the first step to keeping your child safe. You should remind them that by carrying a knife they are:
- giving themselves a false sense of security
- potentially arming an attacker, increasing the risk of getting stabbed or injured
- breaking the law
Keep a look out
Sometimes there might be obvious reasons for you to think your child is carrying a knife – like a knife going missing from the kitchen. However there are other more subtle things that you and the parents of your child's friends can look out for:
- school's not going well, or they don't want to go in to school at all
- they've been a recent victim of theft, bullying or mugging
- they have a different network of friends who may be older than them
Teenagers and abusive relationships
If you're concerned that your teenager is involved in an abusive relationship, there is help available. Find out how to spot the warning signs, and see how best to talk to your teen about abusive relationships.
Abuse in teenage relationships
Abuse is surprisingly common in teenage relationships. In a recent Home Office study, one out of every three girls interviewed said they'd been sexually assaulted by a boyfriend.
In the same survey, 25 per cent of girls and 18 per cent of boys said they'd been hit or physically attacked by a partner.
Types of abuse teens often deal with
Abuse is not always physical – it can take any of the following forms:
Emotional abuse
In teen relationships, emotional abuse is the most common sort of abuse. Emotional abuse includes things such as insults, put-downs or humiliation in front of a teen's friends.
Verbal abuse
Verbal abuse (yelling, insulting and threatening) also often happens in teen relationships. In a recent survey, 75 per cent of teenage girls interviewed said they'd been verbally abused by their boyfriend.
Controlling behaviour
Controlling behaviour includes monitoring someone else's phone calls or controlling what they wear. This happens quite often in teen relationships, and can be damaging over time.
Other forms of abuse
Other types of abuse found in teen relationships include:
- violence and assault
- sexual assault
The warning signs of abuse
Look out for the warning signs that there are problems in your teenager's relationships.
If they stop hanging out with their friends, that could be an early sign of an abusive relationship. Overly jealous teenagers sometimes try to control their boyfriends or girlfriends by not letting them see close friends.
Other warning signs that your teenager is in an abusive relationship could include:
- getting into trouble at school – not going to class, falling grades
- wearing the same clothes day after day
- acting depressed, or more quiet than usual
- becoming angry if you ask how they are
- trying to hide scratches or bruises
- making excuses for a boyfriend or girlfriend
What you can do to help your teenager
Talking to your teen can be the best way to find out about their relationship. Even if you'be seen no signs of abuse, it's a good idea to chat with them. You can find out what they think makes a healthy relationship, and see what they're learning from their friends.
If you think your teen is being abused
If your teen is being abused, they may find it hard to talk about it with you. They may feel ashamed of what's happened to them or may be afraid of their partner.
Finding the right moment to talk with them is important. You could start by saying you have seen something about teen relationship abuse in the news. Ask them how things are going with their own relationship. Make sure they know that they should not put up with controlling or abusive behaviour.
Tell them they are not to blame if somebody is trying to make them do things they don't want to do.
If you think your teen is abusing somebody
If you think your teen is hurting their partner, it's important to talk about the issue with them. Try to help them understand the consequences of abusive, violent and controlling behaviour.
You could explain that abuse will turn them into someone they don't want to be. Abuse can become a habit, and it can lead to more violence and crime.
Teenagers who abuse can be in denial about their actions, so it's possible that they won't see themselves as abusers. Talk to them about the pain they're causing their partner – teenagers are often shocked by the pain and damage their behaviour can cause.
Keeping young children and teens safe while out and about
All children can be vulnerable sometimes, and as a parent it is only natural to worry about their safety. If you are worried, you can help to protect your young children and teens with these common-sense tips.
Protecting young children
Statistics show that crime against young children by strangers is rare. Even so, these seven tips can help protect your child:
- tell your child to avoid talking to people they don't know when you're not around
- make sure your child knows never to walk away with anyone without first telling the person in charge
- make sure your child understands that they should always tell you if a stranger approaches, and never to keep this secret
- if your child is travelling alone, tell them to sit near other families on the train or bus
- if your child has to use a lift – tell them only to use lifts with friends, and not to feel worried about getting out if they are uncomfortable about someone else being in there
- if your child gets lost, they should ask for help from a police officer, another grown-up with children or someone working at a nearby shop
- have your children learn their address and telephone number by heart
While you are out with your children
Sometimes, young children can still be vulnerable even if you are with them. Following these simple precautions should give you peace of mind:
- try to keep your children within your sight or another adult's whom you trust
- use reins for your toddler – these will keep your child nearby even if you get distracted
- when out and about visiting places, always arrange a meeting point for you and your child, in case either of you get lost
- make sure you all travel together in the same train carriage, or have seats close together on a bus or coach
- always go with your child into public toilets
- remind your child never to talk to strangers, even if you are nearby
Keeping teenagers safe
More crimes are committed against teenagers than any other age group, but here are some things they can do to keep safe on the streets:
- stay alert, and keep personal stereos/MP3 players turned off, so they can hear what's going on around them
- stick to busy, well-lit roads, and avoid short cuts through alleyways
- if your child thinks someone is following them, they should cross the road or go to a place with lots of people around, like a bus stop or shop
- your child could carry a whistle or shrill alarm around their neck or on a key chain to warn off suspicious strangers
- when travelling by bus, your child should try to use bus stops on busy roads
- if someone tries to take something from your child, tell them never to fight
- tell them to keep mobile phones and other valuables out of sight, and to turn off their mobile phone ringer to avoid attracting attention
- don't let your child carry weapons because they are more likely to be used against them, and it's illegal
- encourage your child to speak up if they are being bullied or feel they might be in danger
Gangs and gang crime: advice for parents
Children and young people face all sorts of pressures and it may be that your child is feeling pressure to follow friends who are in a gang.
You can help your child make the right choice. By recognising the signs and seeking help, you could make a positive step towards changing the course of your child's life.
Know the facts
Before you talk to your child about gangs, you'll need to make sure you know what you're talking about. It's important to understand why young people are drawn towards gangs in the first place, and you'll need to know what the law says. There's also a big difference between the fantasy of being in a gang and the reality, which may seem obvious to you but will not be so obvious to your child.
Know the signs
There are a number of warning signs to look out for which could indicate that your child is involved with a gang. Things like a change of appearance, new slang words, new friends and even falling out with old friends could all be significant. Find out what to look out for by clicking the link the below.
What you can do
There are many things you can do to help prevent your child getting involved with a gang. The most important thing is to talk to and be open with your child, and be as involved in their life as possible. If you think your child is already in a gang, it may be harder to get them to talk about it but there are ways to approach the subject.
Talking to your child about sex and teenage pregnancy
Young people who can talk about sex with their parents tend to delay having sex and are more likely to use contraception when they do. However you may find the idea slightly awkward or you may not know where to start. Here are some tips to help you on your way.
Talking to children about sex
Talking about sex to your child doesn't mean you are encouraging them to have sex. The best way to start talking about sex is to:
- start when your child is young, as waiting until your child reaches puberty can make it awkward
- make talking about sex a part of everyday life, not just a one-off talk and keep the conversation going as they get older
- use everyday media to start conversations – soaps, adverts, TV programs, magazines – then you can talk about other people which is sometimes easier to start with
- use books, leaflets and websites (including those listed below) if you need information or ideas for how to start talking
- recognize that as your child grows, they need privacy and may not always want to talk to you
- talk to other parents about how they answer difficult questions and discuss difficult issues
Talking about sex and pregnancy with teenagers
You may want to talk to your teenager about a number of things to do with sex and pregnancy. These might include waiting to have sex, contraception, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and the effects of having a child while they are still at school. There are many ways you can help:
- find out what education they are getting in school about sex and relationships
- provide them with information and advice on the subjects not covered at school
- offer to go with your teenager to the doctor or sexual health clinic to discuss any issues about contraception
- make sure they know about STDs, and know how to stay safe
- support your teenager as they deal with the emotions of a first intimate relationship
- talk about the importance of considering the feelings of others in relationships, and not just the biology
You may find that your teenager does not have the same values as you when it comes to sex. Try not to let this bother you – it's just a normal part of them growing up.
If your child is pregnant
If your child tells you that they are pregnant or that their girlfriend is pregnant, the most important thing to do is stay calm. You will need to support the teenage mother in whatever decisions she makes.
The first step is for the teenager to see her doctor or young people's service. They will confirm the pregnancy and tell her about services in the area for pregnant teenagers. Hospitals and health visitors often have services for teenage mothers beyond the routine antenatal care that will be offered. Some services – like Brook – also have counsellors who will be able to explore how she feels about her pregnancy and give impartial information on her options.
There is no reason why your daughter cannot remain in school up until the birth and then return to school afterwards. A maximum of 18 weeks absence is allowed in the period immediately before and after the birth.
However, your daughter may not want to attend her school once she finds out that she is pregnant. There are alternative options, like attending a specialist unit for teenage mothers (if there is one in your area), home tuition, or studying in a further education college. The education department of your local council will be able to help.
If your child is under 20, they could also get help with childcare costs through the Care to Learn scheme to help them stay on in learning after they have given birth.
Your rights, and your child's rights
Health professionals will always encourage sexually active young people to talk to their parents about their situation. However, young people have the same rights as adults when it comes to confidentiality. This means that a doctor does not have to tell parents when a young person seeks contraception or sexual health advice and treatment.
In some cases, health professionals may decide to refer a case to social services. This might happen if there is a large age difference between the two people involved, or if there is evidence of abuse. When dealing with cases involving younger teenagers, it will often be decided that there is a risk of harm and social services will be called.
Rights of the father
According to current law, a mother always has parental responsibility for her child. A father, however, has this responsibility only if he is married to the mother or has acquired legal responsibility for his child. There are several different ways for a father to get legal responsibility for their child like registering or re-registering the birth, or applying through the courts.

'Sumo wrestlers' in 5km fun run
Dozens of fun runners have donned giant sumo wrestler suits to take part in a race around a park.
After a "mass inflation" which saw the eye-catching outfits be blown up, the runners jogged, walked or wobbled the 5km course in Battersea Park, south London.
Many accessorised their suits with masks - including some of members of the Royal Family.
The event previously set a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people running in sumo suits.
The race is raising money for the charity Link Community Development, which works with governments and communities to improve the quality of education for children in sub-Saharan Africa.

Rankin tops Baxter in HD 57 race
Post Independent Editor
Glenwood Springs, Colorado CO
GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colorado – Carbondale businessman Bob Rankin sailed to an early victory over retired educator Jo Ann Baxter, a Democrat, in the race for the open state House District 57 seat.
"Since the registration was in my favor, the campaign was about learning the job, learning the issues," Rankin, a Republican, said Tuesday evening.
"It's totally about jobs and the economy, and looking for ways to make our communities more prosperous," he said.
The newly drawn boundaries for House District 57 take in Garfield, Rio Blanco and Moffat counties, where registered Republicans far outnumber Democrats.
Rankin collected a total of 16,745 votes in the three counties, 57 percent of the vote, compared to 11,396 for Baxter, or 39 percent, and 1,239 votes, 4 percent, for Libertarian Dan Enright of Silt.
Rankin won in all three counties, collecting 52 percent in Garfield County, 78 percent in Rio Blanco County and 64 percent in Moffat County.
He spent Tuesday evening socializing with fellow Garfield County Republicans at a reception held at the Ramada Inn, with his wife and campaign manager, Joyce Rankin.
"I've had a knot in my stomach for days," Bob Rankin said. "Now I feel relaxed."
Today he will be headed off to Denver for a legislative caucus meeting, starting his pre-session duties as a representative-elect.
Baxter and her husband, Brian, were also in Glenwood Springs for election night results, attending a Democratic Party event at the Glenwood Canyon Brewpub that was a mix of national-level joy and local-level despair.
"We did give people a choice," Baxter said of her candidacy. "And we brought my opponent more to the center than if there hadn't been a race. We broadened the discussion, and made sure there was a discussion."
Baxter expressed appreciation for Democrats in the three counties who worked for her, and noted that her campaign was far outspent by Rankin's.
Rankin said voters supported him because of his experience.
"Most of these folks are worried about their future, about their savings, their jobs," he said. "They know I understand the business environment, and they trust me to do as much as can be done."
Rankin, 69, is a retired engineer, corporate executive and small business owner who lives on Missouri Heights. In his campaign, he cited as his top issues the need for jobs, education reform and an overhaul of the state Constitution to unload or reform its restrictive fiscal amendments.

Quality Awards V: EMC and IBM top NAS field
Record-breaking scores highlight EMC's big win in the enterprise NAS group and IBM's stunning performance among midrange NAS systems.
Record-breaking scores highlight EMC's sweep of the enterprise NAS group and IBM's stunning performance among midrange NAS systems.
Over the years, we've seen fairly high satisfaction levels reported by users on the Storage magazine/SearchStorage.com Quality Awards for network-attached storage (NAS) systems. But the latest Quality Awards survey -- our fifth for this product class -- suggests that NAS vendors haven't been sitting on their laurels, as scores were higher than ever. In fact, overall average scores and category scores for both the midrange and enterprise NAS groups were all record highs. And given the unchecked growth of file storage at most companies, it's a good thing respondents are so pleased with their choices for file storage.
In five rounds of Quality Awards surveying, we've had five different winners in the enterprise group, with first-time victor EMC Corp. at the head of the class this time. EMC's previous best showing was a second-place finish, but the current survey results put the firm atop an abbreviated but strong field with an impressive overall average of 6.80 -- the highest enterprise NAS score to date (albeit by a mere 0.04 points over BlueArc Corp.'s score from a few years ago). Only two other vendors made the final cut and both registered commendable scores: NetApp Inc. with an overall 6.66, followed by Dell Inc. at 6.41.
About the survey
The Storage magazine/SearchStorage.com Quality Awards are designed to identify and recognize products that have proven their quality and reliability in actual use. The results are derived from a survey of qualified Storage/SearchStorage.com readers who assessed products in five main categories: sales-force competence, product features, initial product quality, product reliability and technical support. Products are rated on a 1.00-8.00 scale, where 8.00 is the most favorable score. This is the fifth edition of the Quality Award for NAS systems; there were 254 responses to the survey with ratings of 453 products/ product lines.
The midrange NAS group also had a first-time winner, as IBM users poured on the praise to give Big Blue a resounding 7.15 overall score. That's the highest overall score we've ever recorded for either midrange or enterprise NAS systems, and the second highest across all product categories and five rounds of surveying. Noted one IBM user: "IBM is great."
IBM emerged from a particularly strong (and high scoring) field of midrange NAS vendors. In our last survey, Hewlett-Packard (HP) Co. broke NetApp's string of three straight wins in the midrange group but dropped back in the field this time. EMC (6.70) bolstered its enterprise win with a solid second-place showing in the midrange group, followed by NetApp (6.63), HP (6.42) and Dell (6.09).

The NAS buying experience
When Billy Joel sang "Get it right the first time, that's the main thing" it's unlikely he was shopping for a NAS system, but for system vendors Joel's line could be an anthem. Getting off on the right foot -- which for users means working with a knowledgeable and prepared sales team -- will often set the tone for the user's experience with the product. Judging by the improving scores in the sales-force competence rating category, vendors continue to improve their sales support efforts.
In the enterprise group, EMC launched its sweep of all categories with an overall 6.67 score for sales-force competence. EMC's highest scores were for the statements "My sales rep is knowledgeable about my industry" (6.78) and "The vendor's sales support team is knowledgeable" (6.73), but its scoring was very consistent for all statements in the category. NetApp's 6.48 placed it second, followed by Dell (6.33); both of those firms received their top marks for the knowledgeable sales support team item.
Among midrange systems, IBM made a clean sweep of the rating categories, matching EMC's enterprise-winning 6.67 score in the sales-force competence category. IBM's performance was highlighted by the only 7.00-plus score for sales-force competence statements, snagging a 7.08 for its knowledgeable sales support team. EMC's midrange entry finished just behind IBM with a 6.63 average tally; NetApp (6.29), HP (6.21) and Dell (5.76) filled out the field.
Lasting impressions
The sales effort may be the first step in the NAS deployment process, but the most lasting impression may be formed when the system is uncrated and cranked up for the first time. The initial product quality rating category endeavors to capture those impressions.
EMC topped off its excellent initial product quality ratings in the enterprise group with a 7.02 for "I am satisfied with the level of professional services this product requires" and came within a hair of the 7.00 mark with a 6.98 for "This product was installed without any defects." NetApp and Dell also showed strength in this category, scoring 6.70 and 6.64, respectively. NetApp's top mark (6.89) was for the statement about installing without defects; Dell's 6.82 for "This product was easy to get up and running" was second to only EMC's 6.90, which seems appropriate as Dell resells many EMC NAS models.
Among midrange systems, IBM obviously made some good first impressions as it scored over 7.00 for all statements in the initial product quality category for a record-breaking average of 7.32. IBM's best statement rating was a staggering 7.52 for "This product was installed without any defects." Kudos to IBM and all the vendors represented here, as the average category scores were all very good, ranging from Dell's 6.41 to NetApp's 6.71.

Specs, speeds and feeds
Once past first impressions, the bottom line for any storage system is whether it does what you need it to do. In the product features category, we ask users to consider the functionality of their systems and whether the features meet their needs.
EMC's win in the enterprise group was by the slimmest of margins: 6.86 vs. NetApp's 6.85 -- essentially a dead heat. Both vendors notched 7.00-plus statement scores: EMC (7.05) for "This product's capacity scales to meet my needs" and NetApp (7.03) for "This product's snapshot features meet my needs" (a traditional NetApp strength). "The technology is very feature-rich and impressive," commented one NetApp user.
In the feature battle of these behemoths, it might be easy to overlook Dell, but the company fared quite well in this category with a noteworthy overall average of 6.41.
Among midrange NAS products, IBM was once again a formidable force with statement scores ranging from a "low" of 7.14 up to 7.36. It all added up to a stunning 7.25 features category average and a relatively easy win over EMC (6.84) and NetApp (6.59) with scores that would have ranked first in previous Quality Awards iterations. EMC's score received a boost from a 7.11 for the "This product's capacity scales to meet my needs."

Old reliable
Whether it's measured by four-nines, five-nines or some other yardstick, there's one thing a storage shop expects its NAS system to do: run and run. The product reliability rating section collects responses on just how satisfied users are with the reliability of their NAS boxes -- and they seem to be quite satisfied indeed.
EMC led a trio of solid enterprise NAS scores with a 6.86 for the product reliability category, highlighted by its two 7.00 statement scores for "The product meets my service-level requirement" and "This product requires very few unplanned patches." One survey respondent whose company has "several dozen" EMC boxes installed noted he was "extremely pleased and always [has] been regarding the reliability and scalability of EMC systems."
NetApp, with its 6.70 category average, posted statement ratings mostly in the mid- to high 6.00 range, while Dell was nearly as good, averaging 6.49.
IBM continued its mastery of the midrange with another solid performance across the board and a category score of 7.32. NetApp was well behind but with an outstanding 6.88, which would have been enough to cop top honors for reliability in any of our previous NAS Quality Awards. EMC wasn't far behind NetApp with a very sturdy 6.79.
When help is needed
Crossed fingers, a rabbit's foot or a four-leaf clover might help deter the downtime demons, but a dependable support team is usually a better bet. Inadequate technical support can turn an otherwise good product experience bad in no time, but this crop of NAS vendors seems intent on delivering good products backed by good support.
EMC's enterprise-leading technical support category score of 6.76 was also the highest we've ever seen for enterprise NAS. EMC pulled itself up by its bootstraps in this category, improving on its past middle-of-the-pack finishes in tech support ratings. A user needs to know what to expect, and EMC is apparently doing a good job of delivering on expectations, with a 7.08 for "Vendor supplies support as contractually specified." Once again, NetApp notched an impressive average score of 6.57 for the category; Dell also did well, posting a 6.16.
The big news in the midrange NAS group is that IBM didn't score more than 7.00 on every statement, although its two sub-7.00 scores were hardly bumps on its road to a 7.18 technical support score. That's another record for IBM, as it's the highest support score ever achieved by a NAS vendor (midrange or enterprise). NetApp was next with a 6.69, which would have been good enough to lead most of the previous midrange NAS packs, while EMC copped another third-place finish with an excellent 6.57.
Repeat performance?
As usual, we followed up our category statements with a basic question: All things considered, would you buy this product again? The results don't always match up with other scores, but they're still good indicators of loyalty and satisfaction.
Nine out of 10 of our enterprise NAS evaluators who have EMC systems would go the same route again; not surprising considering how happy they appear to be with the products. On the midrange side, IBM backed up its impressive category scores with a 93% "buy again" response.
Over the course of five NAS Quality Awards surveys, we've seen user satisfaction -- as reflected by their product ratings -- rise. With so much focus on file storage growth, it'll be interesting to see how well the vendors can respond to new and more demanding needs.

After rumors swirled about who would headline Wrigley Field's popular concert series, officials on Thursday confirmed that country music lovers will be able to take the Night Train as it rolls through Chicago.
The 2013 Night Train Tour, headlined by Country Music Association Entertain of the Year Jason Aldean, will visit The Windy City on July 20, 2013. The show will also feature Kelly Clarkson, Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett.
"We've been lucky enough to sell out the amphitheater in Chicago a few times, and I'm excited to take this next step up to Wrigley Field," said Aldean. "This has always been an awesome city for us, and we're going to pay the Chicago fans back by throwing the biggest party of the summer."
Aldean, a Georgia native, released his fifth album last week. His last album sold 2.5 million copies.
The Rolling Stones and Pearl Jam circulated as other potential artists to hit the Friendly Confines, but the Tribune's Greg Kot said music insiders told him Wrigley could be too small for the Stones.
Tickets for the Night Train Tour will go on sale Saturday, Nov. 3 at 10 a.m. and will be available on LiveNation.com, Tickets.com or by calling 800-THE-CUBS.
Tickets for the first Bruce Springsteen concert in September sold out in less than an hour, and a second show was added. Other big names to grace the field have included Dave Matthews Band, Elton John and Billy Joel.

So right after my post last month about my apparent underlying quest to be busy and innundated with chaos at all times, apparently I decide it's the perfect time to move. (Huh???) And move, like, now. And, of course it's just me and I'm in school so I have to work around all that. So I spend 2 full weeks arranging for a mover, and packing a little each night and on weekends. Move one weekend. Then unpack a little at a time and on a weekend. So that brings me up to March. Who know's what I'll decide to do this month. Your guess is as good as mine.
Anyway, I think it was a good choice. Decided to move from the spacious 2 bedroom to a 1 bedroom. Since I hadn't yet bought any furniture since living in my studio apartment in St. Louis, well, it was kind of empty. And I had too much time to come home to an empty apartment to think about what it would take to fill it up. Not necessarily buying the stuff. But the fact that I would HAVE the stuff. And if I HAVE stuff, when I move again, I'd have to move stuff. And I guarantee you, I will be moving again. It's gonna happen. Then I got to thinking that with the economy the way it is, now would be the perfect time for me to organize and get funds together for my FINAL move. Meaning, the next move will be the purchase of a permanent location. It will definitely be here in Georgia. I'm feeling that. So I decided to downsize now to prepare for that final move later.
Even before doing everything, I missed reading. Don't have time to do it at the moment. I'd always listened to audio books here and there, but I decided to do it more since I have no time for reading. Got my library card and I go faithfully every two weeks for new "reads." Couple of weeks ago, I decided to pick up a lecture series on Plato and Aristotle and now, I'm hooked on revisiting Greek literature. I haven't read or studied since high school and even then, I don't remember it being as interesting as I'm finding it now. I don't know if it's just because I'm older and have more of an appreciation for it now. Or if it's because since high school, I've become a writer and I'm now more interested in the early works of literature. In any respect, my mind feels like it's drinking. Like it's been thirsty and it finally found something satisfying enough to qwench its thirst. I can't wait to get in my car and drive to work every morning or on the weekends because I'm ready to listen to more.
I finished Plato and Aristotle and just picked up another lecture series on the Epics. Greek and Roman, and others. And I also picked up the first epic being discussed, Odyssey by Homer. Listening, somehow I feel like I'm learning something about me. It's like getting an understanding of early writers and what made them write. That's the question people ask writers all the time: Why do you write? Although writers will have an answer, if they're like me, the real answer is "I have no earthly idea at all." Honestly, it freaks me out that I can't answer that honestly when asked. It's like there has to me an understandable reason that I can convey to people and they can understand. But truthfully, how can I do that when I don't.
All I can say is that it has nothing to do with being published or making money or being famous for writing. Just like now, I don't get a chance to write much and I miss it so dearly. I still think about my story. I think about writing all the time. I think how much I'm going to write when I finish school. I don't think about publishing or making money. I don't care. Don't get me wrong, when it comes time to promote and sell, I'll do what it takes. It's just that that's not the motivation. I don't think about publishing and money. It is truly like and urge within. It feels like anxiety. And it feels personal. Nothing I want to wear on my chest to announce to the world. I want to write for my own satisfaction. And why that is, especially when there could be nothing to gain, I honestly cannot truthfully explain to anyone. Listening to these lectures feels like a path to understanding myself, because I'm understanding the ancient works of some of the earliest writers. And I feel like I'm reading in between the lines, trying to find and understand me.

Police: Man put dog shock collar on boy
A central Iowa man has been accused of disciplining his 12-year-old son with a dog shock collar.
An affidavit by Knoxville police says 35-year-old Daniel Hardwick put the shock collar on his son's neck to motivate him to do chores. He's also accused of putting the child in a high chair by a street curb with a sign that said the boy refused to eat his "big boy food."
Knoxville Police Chief Daniel Losada says Hardwick was arrested Thursday after the state Department of Human Services contacted authorities. The department says it's not commenting on the investigation.
Hardwick has been charged with neglect or abandonment of a dependent person. Records show he was released from jail Monday after posting bond.
His attorney did not immediately return a message Monday.

At NASA Space Launch Complex 2 on Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, the interstage for the Boeing Delta II rocket is lifted up the mobile service tower, or gantry. Then it will be mated with the first stage already there. The Delta is the launch vehicle for the CALIPSO/CloudSat spacecraft. CALIPSO stands for Cloud-Aerosol Lidar & Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation. CALIPSO and CloudSat are highly complementary satellites and together will provide never-before-seen 3-D perspectives of how clouds and aerosols form, evolve, and affect weather and climate. CALIPSO and CloudSat will fly in formation with three other satellites in the A-train constellation to enhance understanding of our climate system. Launch of CALIPSO/CloudSat aboard a Boeing Delta II rocket is scheduled for 3:01 a.m. Sept. 29.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - In a game where David met Goliath, the Santa Clara women's soccer team took on Goliath in the form of No. 2 UCLA, to a 0-0 double overtime draw. The Broncos played aggressively, adapted to all of the Bruins attacks and kept the second ranked team in the nation out of the box. Goal keeper Meagan McCray had a standout game posting four saves on the Southern California squad's 16 shots. Not only did McCray play in her second straight game that lasted 110 minutes, but also through serious injury.
At the beginning of the second half a Bruin attacker slammed her foot into McCray's nose stopping time for several minutes. Backup keeper Lisa Lahman began to warm up because McCray looked to have broken her nose and would not be able to stay in the game. Remarkably, the senior goalie not only stayed in the game, but led the defense to keep UCLA off the board for the rest of the half and two overtime periods.
Head coach Jerry Smith adjusted his lineup going into the game and played a four-three-three, which proved to match up well against a talented Bruin team, who is undefeated on the season. Rejoining the team at midfield was redshirt junior Courtney Lewis, who battled back from a knee injury that plagued her last season. Lewis, who had only been able to practice with the team for one day after being cleared to play at the beginning of the week, had an immediate impact. She had three shots, one of which was on goal.
Tri-captain Kiki Bosio also had strong performance and was able to move the ball around the field easily. She not only had several free kick opportunities that looked like they potentially could translate to a Bronco score, but also had eight shots, three of which were on goal.
Moving to defender was freshman Margueritte Aozasa, who played right back. She helped hold a strong SCU backline along side veterans Maxine Goynes, Dani Potts and Katherine Reynolds. Santa Clara worked seamlessly to connect with each other and to try to create chances to get their first win in three games. This is the third overtime game in a row for the Broncos and the second where they have gone through two extra time periods to scoreless draws.
Looking forward, Santa Clara will face another ranked Pac-10 opponent on Sunday, Sept. 28, when they travel to Berkeley, Calif. to take on the No. 23 Golden Bears of California.

A bust-up between Google and Amazon will mean that Amazon Fire and Amazon Echo Show users will be unable to watch YouTube on their TV - via their Amazon devices - from 1 January 2018.
It's the latest twist in a to-ing and fro-ing between the tech giants which has seen Amazon pulling the Chromecast and Nexus Player from its online store in 2015, Google dropping - and then partially restoring - functionality for Amazon Prime on their Chromecast device earlier this year, and a lack of support for Amazon Prime on Chromecast and most Android TV devices.
A Google spokesperson told tech site ENGadget: "We've been trying to reach agreement with Amazon to give consumers access to each other's products and services, but Amazon doesn't carry Google products like Chromecast and Google Home, doesn't make Prime Video available for Google Cast users, and last month stopped selling some of Nest's latest products.
"Given this lack of reciprocity, we are no longer supporting YouTube on Echo Show and FireTV. We hope we can reach an agreement to resolve these issues soon."
On Amazon's side, the company has indicated that they are looking to resolve the dispute as soon as they can.
Amazon issued a statement on Monday which read: "Echo Show and Fire TV now display a standard web view of YouTube.com and point customers directly to YouTube's existing website. Google is setting a disappointing precedent by selectively blocking customer access to an open website. We hope to resolve this with Google as soon as possible."
Amazon are gearing up for the launch of the Grand Tour series 2 tomorrow (8 December) and in positive news they announced announced yesterday that the Prime Video app is now available on Apple TV and Apple TV 4k.
Whether this dispute between Google and Amazon will be resolved before the January cut-off remains to be seen, but if it isn't it's consumers who will losing out as the companies flex their muscles.

Referencing Greek mythology and Ariadne's thread that helped Theseus overcome the Minotaur and find his way out of the labyrinth, Emson's installation invites viewers to make their own path through the space, following Emson having cut the threads that tie each panel together. Emson continues, "The strange jungle like overflow of threads, and digested capsules refer to the neuroplasticity of the brain, and how the map of our brain is constantly adapting and changing depending on our environment". Research suggests the more novel, unpredictable or rich the environment, the more our brain alters. Emson aims to display this plastic nature in a jungle form, where audiences can use their instincts to guide themselves through the space. The colours add to this rich environment and speak to different energy points of the body, evoking various senses, associations and memories giving each participant a unique journey through the installation.
ART BARTER DUBAI aims to make works more accessible to the public while questioning the notion of the art market. Having to barter also motivates the viewer to think about what they have to offer the artists that is unique. It then prods the artists to value their own work via non-monetary mechanisms as they ultimately decide which barter to accept.
The Dubai edition will feature emerging and established artists from the UAE alongside a range of international artists.
To date, Art Barter exhibitions have taken place across the world including London, Berlin, New York, Madrid, Istanbul and Mexico City, with more than 130 of all exhibited artworks (over 70%) exchanged at the end of each show.
Since its inception, Art Barter has seen over 3,600 offers made on works exhibited. Previous exchanges that have taken place include: a Tracey Emin monoprint for 30 hours of French tutoring; a Jason Dodge neon work for a week in a Scottish castle; and the shipping of artworks to Venice in exchange for a Gavin Turk screen-print.
Other offers included web design, three months of psychotherapy, a retreat in South of France, the artist's weight in chocolate, a goldsmith's skills, web design, three months of psychotherapy, a retreat in France, a mixtape, a bespoke piece of furniture, tickets to a Patti Smith concert and a gallop on a white horse.
The exhibition opens on the same day as Alserkal Avenue's popular Galleries Night and will coincide with Art Week 2016, which includes Art Dubai, Design Days Dubai, the artist-led festival Sikka and a roster of other art and design events; a time when the local, regional and international arts community will be fully engaged with the city.
In London, a recurrent topic at every social gathering of young Artists, revolves around the need to find spaces that will inspire us to create new rituals and prosperous creative processes. Today we are confronted by a series of obstacles that are for everyone, at the heart of our social and spiritual crisis. High property prices, and the lack of free communal spaces, are intrinsically linked to the impulse of encouraging a major shift in our current values. Finding these spaces, will lead to a reawakening of lost consciousness. We are moving towards the need to create strong local communities and to turn our view towards The Natural World. This is what a group of 14 Artists set out to discover at our residency, under the Algarvian sun.
The Cob Gallery and The Beekeepers in association with Mia Pfeifer invited an esteemed group of creators to explore these themes. Representing diverse artistic disciplines, including photography, performance, sculpture, painting, poetic studies and visual arts. We took them on a journey back to the land, to create a community where departing from each of their individual, creative practices, they became part of a collective project. The resulting exhibition is a joyous reflection of our environment and an ecstatic reimagining of our time together.
Bordering one of Europe's largest nature reserves, lies thirty hectares of terrain, boasting mature olives and fruit trees. There are two houses and several multifunctional structures built with the sole purpose to host creative minds. The Beekeepers located in Portugal is the brainchild of Tom Leamon, Jennifer MT White and local artist Pedro Leitao.
Pauliana Valente Pimemtel, Adeline de Monseignat, Becky Allen, Tom Leamon, Camilla Emson, Pedro Leitao, Cat Roissetter, Bea Bonafini, Paola De Ramos, Jennifer MT White, Oliver KingHeadSwim, Ben Westley Clarke and Laura Adamson.

Rook & Raven will be presenting an exhibition examining the importance of painting within the prevailing contemporary art scene; drawing together the work of 9 emerging international artists. Predominantly working within the medium of paint, there is a sense of abstraction which appears in various manifestations constantly throughout these selected works.
Participating artists include:
Camilla Emson, Corinne Felgate, Dale Marshall, Laurence Owen, Lucia Vera, Lucy Farley, Manuel Larralde, Tahnee Lonsdale and Vanessa Jackson.
Shapeshifters is a group exhibition examining the human condition and the different formulas of diverse concepts and ideals our contemporary culture use in search; and to ultimately reach, their perceived life enhancing strategy. The three artists shown are from three different parts of the world, each examining, through their varying practices' the mediums ideas on the physical, the self, loss of faith and alternative forms in achieving the sublime.
Slyzmud Gallery
To coincide with Frieze Art Week 2014, Rook & Raven exhibited the work of acclaimed Colombian artist, Olga de Amaral, alongside four young, female artists; Emilie Pugh, Camilla Emson, Yun-Kyung Jeong and Adeline de Monseignat. This group of emerging young artists each produced works inspired by the Colombian matriarch, exploring cultural identity and femininity through their material practise.
Material Identity is an introspective journey through the multidisciplinary practise of the artists in the exhibition, whose works explore the varied and changing cultural landscape of identity. The inherent delicacy of their works evokes a sense of balance between what is material and immaterial, between form and composition, and the physical and metaphysical.

'Bodies never lie' – Agnes de Miller
Visual Art and Performance. Presence and Absence. Though seemingly unrelated pairs of words, there is an intrinsic undercurrent of rhythm which connects practice based disciplines towards each other - this often brings out various connections, connotations, and inferences. All 12 artists exhibiting engage with this very undissolved threshold - a careful precipice on the edge of two disciplines (visual and performative) presenting a very subtle exchange between the various models of exaggerated expression. This kind of creative articulation which navigates between these two modes, also moves towards the masked broader question of what is real construction and what is not - what is perceived as a model of truth and what is not (in both a materialistic, philosophical and theoretical climate).
UNDISSOLVED explores this terrain which is both the point of departure and the portal of arrival - with performances, Live art, installations, sculptures, and video works which explore the subject either with the presence or the absence of the human body in them, which then becomes the 'object' of exploration."

Future Flesh, curated by artists Jack Spencer Ashworth and Katrine Roberts, will look at how different contemporary artists are exploring the role of the physical body in the contemporary context. Using a myriad of mediums and approaches, all the work shares a concern for Flesh - the physical stuff of the body - and each piece uses material to describe flesh directly. The exhibition wishes to show how our contemporary experiences of living in the 21st Century have changed and informed the way artists have responded to art's oldest subject matter: the body; and how rapid developments in science and technology have changed our reality and, therefore, our relationship with our bodies.

In common with all the work in Verging is a potency of materials. All three artists, in different ways, use the tactile engagement with materials to arouse our senses.
This work is about discovering the wisdom or depth of the body. I am interested in our own internal alchemic potential: the transformative potential or happening that occurs inside the body. Hillman speaks of acquiring a 'taste for salt and blood,' which becomes the seat of meaningful experience. For him, the salt of the body is what amplifies soulfulness. I have photographed tear ducts using macro-lenses to expose a rare view of a common intimate part of the body. I consider this one rare view of many common places we share as humans.
To coincide with the MA exhibition the students collaborated with Art Below to install a satellite exhibition in Kennington's Underground station. For two weeks all 18 students have work presented in 20 x A1 sized panels inside the two passenger lifts normally used for advertising thereby creating a compelling alternative gallery space.

Nurses know that without proper planning, the costs of long-term care provided services can wipe out a lifetime of savings. Many may feel uncomfortable relying on their children or family members for support and find that Long-Term Care (LTC) insurance would significantly cover these expenses and help to keep them personally in control. Securing quality LTC insurance protection is a serious undertaking; that is why proper planning for ourselves and our families is increasingly critical to us all. ANA has teamed up with Anchor Health Administrators to access special LTC rates through a company that for almost 20 years has only worked with nurses and their families. ANA members will receive a 5% discount on top of any other available discounts, and will have personal access to specialized licensed advocates who help nurse's every day with their LTC needs.
For more information on ANA's Long-Term Care insurance for yourself or your immediate family, and to receive a free no obligation consultation with a licensed advocate, click here.
Do you have enough term life insurance to help ensure that your family is covered if you were to pass away? Would there be enough to provide for your children, your mortgage and save for college, not to mention unpaid medical bills and funeral expenses? To help, ANA has partnered with AmWINS Group Benefits administrators to offer term life insurance with Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company. With this plan you can receive term life insurance at competitive group rates, negotiated just for nurses by ANA. Because you are a member, you can apply for a plan with up to $250,000 in coverage at economical rates.2
To access detailed information or request an application for this valuable term life insurance, click here.
It is never too early to start financial planning — especially if retirement is in the not-too-distant future. Have you developed a detailed financial plan that ensures you have the income you need for retirement and your children's education?

To help you get started, ANA has partnered with Edelman Financial Services (EFS) to offer ANA members the resources they need to take care of their financial planning needs. EFS offers each ANA member a free individualized financial plan (an $800 value) and access to excellent education and resources — all with absolutely no cost and no obligation. EFS was founded by Ric Edelman4, acclaimed financial advisor, bestselling author, award-winning radio talk-show host and benefactor of the Inova Edelman Center for Nursing at Inova Health Foundation.

Working with Layers of Pictures in Office 2011 for Mac
Everything you see in Office for Mac is on a layer, where some layers are closer to you than others. Farthest away from you is the background layer. The next layer is the text layer. Any additional objects, such as pictures, WordArt, shapes, or text boxes that are added, are placed in layers closer to you with each additional object. With Office 2011's tools, you can format the background, group objects together into a single layer, control the order of the layers of selected objects, and even rotate or flip objects.
Formatting the background layer in Office
The layer that's farthest to the back is the background layer. You can access the background by the following three methods:
Word: Follow these steps:
1. Click the Ribbon's Layout Tab. In the Page Background group, click Color. In the pop-up menu, choose Fill Effect.
2. In the Resulting Fill Effects dialog, click the Picture option.
3. Click the Select Picture button to display the Choose a Picture dialog.
4. Choose a picture to use as the document background.
Excel: Choose Format→Sheet→Background. In the resulting Choose a Picture dialog, choose a picture to use as the worksheet's background.
PowerPoint: Choose Format→Slide Background to display the Format Background dialog.
Arranging the layers in Office files
Until Office 2011, to arrange the order of objects in the layers above the text layer, you would right-click an object and choose one of four Arrange options:
Bring to Front
Send to Back
Bring Forward (one layer)
Send Backward (one layer)
Of course, you can still do this in Office 2011, and these options are now available on the Format tab of the Ribbon.
Word's Publishing Layout view and PowerPoint's Normal view have the new Dynamic Reorder objects feature that relieves you of the burden of keeping track of the order of your objects. A simple, intuitive interface displays your objects in order, numbered beginning with the number 1 as the layer on top, the one that's closest to you. You can simply drag any layer to a new position in the order.
If you want, you can restrict the objects being reordered to only those objects that overlap each other: In the Arrange group of the Format tab, click Reorder Overlapping Objects.
Rotating and flipping layers in Office 2011
The Rotate button (found in the Format tab's Arrange group) offers options that allow for rotation in specified increments:
Rotate Right 90 Degrees
Rotate Left 90 Degrees
Flip Vertical
Flip Horizontal
Grouped objects behave unpredictably with these controls. You may need to ungroup the objects, use the controls, and then regroup everything.

Moving won't do any good if Bamma follows the CA model on a national level. There will simply be nowhere to hide.
California contemplates ultimate reform - no welfare
Could California become the first state in the nation to do away with welfare?
That doomsday scenario is on the table as lawmakers wrestle with a staggering $24.3 billion budget deficit.
County welfare directors are "in shock" at the very idea of getting rid of CalWORKs, which has been widely viewed as one of the most successful social programs in the state's history, said Bruce Wagstaff, director of the Department of Human Assistance in Sacramento.
"It's difficult to come up with the right adjective to react to this," Wagstaff said. "It would be devastating to the people we serve."
H.D. Palmer, a spokesman for the state Department of Finance, said California is in an unprecedented fiscal situation that has made all programs, from education to human services, vulnerable to deep and painful reductions.
"I don't wish for a moment to minimize the profound impact" that eliminating CalWORKs would have, Palmer said. "But the easy decisions are way past being in the rearview mirror for us. We face the specter of California not having cash on hand to pay its bills in July."
Wagstaff and other administrators are betting that the state will rescue the "welfare to work" program. But they are bracing for cuts that would slash benefits to the lowest levels since the late 1990s, when CalWORKs began as part of the federal government's bold reform of the welfare system.
