It's difficult to believe that in the 50 years since Miranda there isn't case law addressing this very circumstance. Did the Oregon Supreme Court cite a precedent upon which it based its ruling? If not, then it seems the U.S. Supreme Court would have no choice but to review this decision. Not that it would, of course. | 0 | en |

Wheel warring
You have just involved yourself in the biggest bout of wheel warring I've seen on Wikipedia. That you have not discussed anything yourself, and yet tell other people to ""Please discuss before wheel warring"" really isn't helping things. I suggest you desist immediately, and familiarize yourself with the extensive discussion on the topic, e.g. at the admin board. >Radiant< " | 0 | en |

Arar did not commit treason. Khadr did.
From the Criminal Code of Canada:
High treason
46 (1) Every one commits high treason who, in Canada,
... (c) assists an enemy at war with Canada, or any armed forces against whom Canadian Forces are engaged in hostilities, whether or not a state of war exists between Canada and the country whose forces they are.
…….Canadian citizen
(3) Notwithstanding subsection (1) or (2), a Canadian citizen or a person who owes allegiance to Her Majesty in right of Canada,
.......(a) commits high treason if, while in or out of Canada, he does anything mentioned in subsection (1);
Khadr translated for the Taliban, built bombs for the Taliban, and fought for the Taliban, all while Canadian Forces were engaged in hostilities with the Taliban. Omar's activities sure sound like "assistance" for the Taliban to me | 0 | en |

Many people think it's funny to get their pets high, but marijuana is not a pleasant experience for dogs or cats, and can (rarely) result in death. Dogs will consume as much human food as they can, given the choice, and the presence of fats and oils is an attractant. An intoxicated Great Dane can and will deliver a truly dangerous bite, even to its owner. Pit bulls, double that.

4. In a lot of studies and international metrics, work is measured in terms of paid work and unpaid work. We all do work, things we have to do to maintain and advance our lives and society. Some of that work is paid employment, and some of that work is not compensated, such as cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, taking care of children, etc. This is considered unpaid work. Men do more paid work than women but less unpaid work, and the disparity in unpaid work is larger than that of paid work, resulting in women spending more time per week working than men, but less time in paid employment. | 0 | en |

For those who argue against this service, try this thought experiment.
Change "health-care system" with "legal system" and then comment on the need for defense lawyers.
Let's use D. G. Sinclair (below) as an example, "If we had a system, by definition its elements interconnected and working smoothly together, there would be no need for "navigators" at $90 to $150 an hour to help people find their way."
If we had a (legal) system, by definition its elements interconnected and working smoothly together, there would be no need for "navigators" (lawyers) at $90 to $150 an hour to help people find their way.
Yeah, that would work ...

A few thoughts:
Wont it be great when Republicans like Coghill lose their reelections when voters find out the republicans voted to give away our oil tax- free, AND voted to give away nearly one billion per year in corporate welfare AND then voted to raid the Permanent Fund?
Aaron Lojewski took a seat on the Interior Gas Utility to burnish his thin resume. And what did he accomplish? Did the IGU develop a business plan? No. Did it bring natural gas to Fairbanks at a price that could compete with firewood? No. Does Fairbanks still have the worst air quality in the United States? Yes. Big Failure.
All those politicians collecting per diem at the federal rate of over $200 per day are going to face the music with voters shortly.

No, NWS does not deserve a break. Look at the forecast discussions they post. They get lost in their models. They get lost in their geekdom. They should just look at radar maps and make an educated guess. That will be more accurate than their goofy models. NWS predictions used to be someone reliable, now they are pathetic. That can likely be attributed to overuse of questionable modeling software and under-use of common sense. | 0 | en |

It has been said that three drivers crashed into a boulder placed in the middle of an island in a parking lot in the city of Calgary, Canada. An employee mentioned that the rock was positioned there to prevent drivers from driving over the curb but it seemed to have an opposite effect.

Richard,
To address the issue of disproportionate police shootings of African Americans, shouldn't one also address the issue that African Americans' criminal activity rate is far disproportionate to their representation overall in our population? To bemoan the former but forget the latter (which would certainly skew the former's statistical impact) seems rather imprudent. Perhaps both should be equally scrutinized and addressed to improve our national condition.
Another interesting statistic...roughly 95% of those suspects in which lethal force was used by police were armed. How would you propose our "amateurish and trigger-happy police" (another fallacy not supported factually given the number of police contacts annually versus their use of lethal force in those contacts) respond? Do you also have any peer reviewed statistics to support your assertion that lethal force is utilized systemically by the police against POC in circumstances that they would not do the same to Caucasians? | 0 | en |

This has to stop, do we have a judiciary and government who have some strange connections and therefore these actions allow ridiculous amounts of money to be paid to questionable people?
It is time these laws are changed and groups who are borderline to begin with should be given $1.00 and that they may have suffered something. Maybe we all should start class action and sue these groups since it is our money being thrown away. Time to reverse this but in the mean time lets elect qualified people who believe Canadians first and give control back to the voters including the means to remove elected people who do not perform in the interest of their constituents. Also voting should become a legal responsibility. | 0 | en |
Wavemaker nailed it. I see this type of "code" all the time. Our republic needs and thrives on debate, discussion, and intelligent disagreement. But all too often political differences get conflated with a sort of bigotry. Note terms like "fearless", "elites" and accusing Obama of being a racist. Bigotry covered up the lazy way instead of the hard word of analysis and intelligent criticism. Both sides of the issue often (mostly) use innuendos instead of informed commentary. IMHO.. | 0 | en |

At the centre of the dispute is the to date insistence by the Palestinians of the "right of return"....and in the meantime Jordan strips Palestinians of citizenship ( the TRUE state of the Palestinians ), and no Arab country really lifts a single finger to help the Palestinians...one could argue Israel does more for them than their brethren. The insistence, to date, of the "right of return" is tantamount to the USA giving back all of its land to the First Nations......neither is going to happen. Israel is no saint in the negotiations, neither are the Palestinians....BUT, as under Bill Clinton with Arafat, the Palestinians got 99% of what they asked for ( Clinton's words not mine) and they turned it down. One has to ask oneself...why? I can tell you, they don't want a two state solution, they want Israel gone! | 0 | en |

Comment
=======
Normal long-chain aliphatic compounds, such are n-alkanes have been studied to elucidate the principles of a crystallization for long-chain organic compounds, because the molecular skeleton consists of a simple *trans* zigzag straight hydrocarbon chain. The molecular shape of these compounds can be regarded as a rod-like one, and the molecules in the crystalline state form a layered structure similar to those of the smectic liquid crystalline phase. Moreover, some of these long-chain compounds exhibited a high-temperature rotator phase just below their melting points, in which molecules have some degree of motional freedom, comparable with that in liquid crystals. Thus, these long-chain compounds have been studied as model compounds for smectic liquid crystals.
In order to perform the investigations of mechanism of phase transition, it is important to obtain detailed crystallographic data. Many researchers have been analyzed the crystal structure of many different kinds of normal long-chain aliphatic compounds. Recently we have systematically analyzed the crystal structures of the alkane-α,ω-diols containing 10--24 C atoms using single-crystal X-ray diffraction (Nakamura *et al.*, 2001; Uno & Nakamura, 2003), and one of the present authors has studied the phase transition phenomena of the series of the alkane-α,ω-diols containing 13--24 C atoms (Ogawa & Nakamura, 1999). In the present paper, we report a result of the crystal structure analysis of the title compound, (I), in order to clarify an effect of the terminal groups in the normal long-chain compounds on a construction of the layered structure. The molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. The molecule is centrosymmetric and all torsion angles are close to ±180°, that is, the molecular structure including both terminal I atoms has an all-*trans* conformation. Figure 2 shows the projection of the crystal structure of (I) along the *b* axis. The molecules form layers with a thickness of *a*. In the layers, the long axes of all molecules are inclined to the *bc* plane. The layers are arranged in parallel manner between the neighboring layers, forming a bookshelf motif, as shown in Fig. 3. The molecular arrangement of (I) is similar to that of the smectic C phase of liquid crystals. In the crystal structure, the shortest I···I distance is 3.9095 (14) Å. In addition, it is attributed to the fact that the van der Waals radius of I atoms are longer than those of Cl and Br atoms, and I atoms cause strongest steric hindrance.
The results of structure analysis of 1,16-dichlorohexadecane (Nakamura & Shimizu, 2004) and 1,16-dibromohexadecane (Kobayashi *et al.*, 1995) have been reported. These compounds are arranged in a zigzag manner between adjacent layers, forming a herring-bone motif. These molecular arrangement are similar to that of the tilt smectic C phase of liquid crystals. Therefore, it is elucidated that features of the structure of (I) is differ from those of 1,16-dichlorohexadecane and 1,16-dibromohexadecane. It is considered that this difference in the crystal structure are caused by the difference of the steric hindrance of atoms located in both ends.

The cell e.s.d.\'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.\'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.\'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.\'s is used for estimating e.s.d.\'s involving l.s. planes.

Race to the Top
When the LA Clippers owner chose “Sterling” as his last name, it is clear he didn’t have his character in mind. We can stipulate that his infamous statements were racist and repugnant. Frankly, they were also stupid, in large part unintelligible, such that one can easily conclude that he suffers from a form of dementia. (Judging by the way the franchise has been run for thirty years Clippers fans might assume that dementia beset him long ago.)
Nonetheless, there are a number of troubling aspects about this episode, Sterling’s proposed lifetime ban from the NBA and the forced sale of his team, beyond his foolish and odious comments. For one, it is worrisome the way the right of free speech – which in America once protected even detestable speech – is being whittled down to practical insignificance. Just several weeks ago, the new CEO of Mozilla Firefox was hounded from his position because he opposes same-sex marriage. Apparently, the historically liberal position protecting all forms of speech is waning. As noted here in the past, modern liberal elites, to paraphrase Voltaire, will defend to the death your right to agree with them. If an NBA owner – religious Christian or Jew – publicly advocated traditional marriage (between a man and a woman, if you have forgotten), will that owner also be subject to sanctions and public pillorying?
The correct answer to that question is “not yet,” but we are certainly heading down that road. Of course, there is a difference in kind and degree between opposition to same sex marriage and racism, but clearly the consequences are the same. In some circles the former attitude is unacceptable and akin to racism (so they would have us believe) and in all circles the latter sentiment is offensive. The common denominator, though, is that both men have been stripped of their livelihoods. That can’t bode well for the future, as this will become the new and only acceptable standard for the expression of undesirable speech. (Well, there is another standard as well: the IRS can harass you into silence if your politics offend the authorities.)
From my vantage point, I would much prefer that the marketplace decide a person’s fate for deplorable conduct or speech, along with appropriate social ostracism. If, for example, a storeowner or company were found to be Jew haters, I would cease to patronize that establishment and would expect all decent people to do the same (like all decent people should boycott Firefox). I would not want the government or the society of merchants to pound the offender into submission. Intolerant speakers should also be ostracized socially and feel the scorn of polite society. Let the marketplace, rather than the “man,” ruin the business of a bigot. As such, I am fully supportive of the Clippers sponsors dropping the team, as I would be of fans refusing to attend the team’s games until there was new ownership or players refusing to sign with the team. It just seems a fairer way to repudiate Sterling; let him be forced to sell the team because the revenue stream has dried up, not because the “man” has decided that this individual does not have the right of free speech because he has exercised that right so disgracefully.
It is true that NBA ownership rights are limited by league by-laws, and owners can be sanctioned for conduct detrimental to the league. In a sense, the marketplace in which Sterling conducts his business does control his future. But is private speech “conduct”? Indeed, his public conduct in relation to the team would seem to be fairly conventional – a longtime black general manager (granted, a relationship that did not end well, but, truth be told, Elgin Baylor, great player that he was, was not much of a GM), a black head coach, and mostly black players. In any event, someone who allegedly hates blacks and still buys an NBA franchise makes as much sense as a Jew hater owning a seforim store.
It is also disconcerting that Sterling’s lamentable comments were taped in private and released by a “girlfriend” to the public. For sure, Jews are on permanent notice to watch what we say and what we do: “know what is Above you. There is an Eye that sees, an Ear that hears, and all one’s deeds are recorded in a [Heavenly] book” (Avot 2:1). She, too, is a despicable person, indeed, perfectly matched with her ex-oldmanfriend. There is an expectation of privacy that facilitates normal social and familial relations. When that is breached – and for the worst reasons; she is a gold digger looking to squeeze more money out of him and his family – we all suffer.
Indeed, it would be wonderful if the NBA morals clause for its owners and players considered public adultery a violation as well. One should cringe in reading any sentence that includes the incongruous phrases “his wife,” and “his girlfriend.” That he is a lowlife on multiple counts is clear, but I suspect that applying the morals clause to morality would denude the NBA of many of its owners and players. But, you might ask, isn’t adultery private conduct? Yes, but so was the racist speech.
Is there a broader lesson here, some deeper message that can resonate and reform the society? No. Hatred is often as inexcusable as it is often bizarre, but it is an emotion that has its proper uses and, like all emotions, cannot be legislated out of the human psyche. Its worst consequences come not through speech but through action, notwithstanding that even hateful speech sullies the society.
Yet, there is also an appalling hypocrisy that should be obvious to all. Sterling was already honored once by the NAACP (he was to be honored again), which doesn’t mean that his remarks were spontaneous and original but that the NAACP – like other race hustlers – routinely extorts money for its leftist political causes and its leadership from whites who donate out of guilt or fear and from white racists looking to purchase respectability. Look no further that the guest-of-honor at the dinner from which Sterling was now banned, one Al Sharpton, one of the primary race hucksters in America today. How does an organization that seeks to be mainstream and reputable honor (well, Sterling, but also) Sharpton, who made his career impugning the character of various white people and provoked a riot in New York City with an anti-Jewish screed that resulted in the death of seven people, even calling the Jewish storeowner in Harlem a “white interloper?” Sharpton led a protest in front of Lubavitch headquarters after Yankel Rosenbaum hy”d was stabbed to death in a black race riot in 1991, crying “No justice, no peace.” Of course, that quest for justice was not for justice for the murdered Jewish yeshiva student, whose confessed murderer was acquitted of homicide by a mostly black jury. Nevertheless, Sharpton has been rehabilitated, is regularly feted by President Obama and is even featured on cable television. It is impossible to imagine a white with identical racist views as those of Sharpton or Jesse Jackson achieving the same sort of mainstream credibility that they possess.
For that matter, how does Charles Barkley get away with calling the NBA a “black league”? Sure, the entertainers are mostly black, but most of the owners, fans, and sponsors are white. The revenue that has created thousands of black millionaires primarily comes from whites. Should that not be acknowledged? (It needs to be said that those black millionaires earn their money fairly, by monetizing their talents and providing a service that people want.)
Racists in America today are outliers and not tolerated in polite society, so Sterling will get his just desserts and warrants no sympathy. For sure, no NBA owner will vote against forcing him to sell or that owner will face the wrath of the public and players. The vote is a foregone conclusion. But peculiar and atypical events such as this one distort the reality of racism in the United States. It is a fringe phenomenon that is kept alive by people who profit from it. When Chief Justice John Roberts had the gall to write in 2007 (in PICS, the last affirmative action case before the Schuette decision two weeks ago) that the best “way to stop discrimination based on race is to stop discriminating based on race,” he was roundly condemned by the liberal media and the usual suspects. But those who endorse favorable, special treatment based on race should not be surprised to encounter maltreatment based on race. Both forms of discrimination are absurd. Color of skin, hair, eyes, and the like should play no role in assessing the worth of a human being or in assigning his place in schools or the business world.
We are far from that situation not because racism is prevalent but because too many people benefit from the frequent accusations of racism routinely lodged against, well, anyone, even, for example, opponents of Obamacare. That is not to say that Sterling was motivated by anything more than sheer bigotry, and perhaps the onset of senility, but one thing is obvious: the stridency of his public putdown will pale before the shrillness of the commentariat that will keep this incident in the public eye far longer than it deserves. Of course, the likelihood that Sterling will not go quietly into the night means that he will be a ubiquitous presence in the culture until and even after he is tarred and feathered.
And, as if we didn’t know it already, file this away as further confirmation that there is no correlation between wealth, on the one hand, and intelligence or morality on the other.

The NBA is a private business, which Sterling damaged. Their response to Sterling was a market driven response. Players were going to boycott, fans were threatening to stop coming to games and sponsors were withdrawing. I don’t understand why this isn’t exactly how things should work. Free speech under the first amendment is a limitation on government, not a private body like the NBA or Mozilla.
Yes, but free speech as an American value extends beyond the government. E.g., universities are expected to allow free speech (except for Brandeis), even though they are not the government.
And, do you really believe the players and fans would boycott the NBA? I doubt that even in the case of the Clippers, much less the rest of the league.
Americans need sports as a diversion. They therefore tolerate a lot of miscreants as players, not just owners.

Thought question:
A doctor with Sterling views that are shared in private, or a lawyer with similar views: should the doctor’s license to practice medicine be revoked by the state authorities or his peers; should the lawyer be disbarred because a lawyer is obligated to act morally?
If not, why not?
Assume, for a moment, that the doctor practices with distinction in an inner city hospital, and the lawyer services minority clients competently.

[Al] Sharpton, who made his career impugning the character of various white people and provoked a riot in New York City with an anti-Jewish screed that resulted in the death of seven people, even calling the Jewish storeowner in Harlem a “white interloper?” Sharpton led a protest in front of Lubavitch headquarters after Yankel Rosenbaum hy”d was stabbed to death in a black race riot in 1991, crying “No justice, no peace.”
Of course, that quest for justice was not for justice for the murdered Jewish yeshiva student, whose confessed murderer was acquitted of homicide by a mostly black jury. Nevertheless, [Al] Sharpton has been rehabilitated, is regularly feted by President Obama and is even featured on cable television. It is impossible to imagine a white with identical racist views as those of [Al] Sharpton or Jesse Jackson achieving the same sort of mainstream credibility that they possess.
Why are the private conversations of one man the major national/international news story for several days (at least according to CNN and TMZ)? Aren’t there enough economic problems and political scandals for the media to report on? Also, apparently, there are no consequences for illegally recording and making public private intimate conversations (which are possibly edited or manipulated). I’m reluctant to defend Sterling, but his now ex-mistress isn’t a married woman, so is it fair to accuse him of adultery?
My impression is that this has little to do with free speech or morality. If Sterling thinks that 75% or so of the players of the league are lesser human beings, then he is probably not suited to be a member of the NBA. Yes, had he been recorded making similar comments about people from Greenland, that would have been equally as offensive, but that would only be grounds to kick him out of a club that comprises a significant number of Greenlanders or where being anti-Greenland completely destroys the potential for the organization to function properly (as does Sterling’s presence to the Clippers and the NBA).
The issue here is context and meaning. In America, where racism is still a powerful force in our collective memory, these types of comments carry much more weight, as they do in the NBA. If a person at home in America says “I am starving,” it isn’t as bad as making the same comment while on a trip to a third-world country. Although in a vacuum there might be no difference, we don’t live in a vacuum.
Additionally, the impact of words depends on how they are taken by those involved. Insulting a group of people is bad, but not as bad as insulting the people who work for you – how do you expect them to work for you if you hate them? To then place the burden on the players to ignore or get past Sterlings comments and play for him is not fair; if he was the one who was offensive, he has to live with the impact.
Granted, this creates problems in terms of definition – how many people need to be insulted? How bad must it be? How do we measure “impact?” Sometimes intuition is enough to decide whether something crosses a threshold- as in this situation.
In the end, Donald Sterling is not being punished for being immoral (hence, I would not use the analogy to adultery), nor is his freedom of speech being taken away. The NBA is making a statement that someone who has little respect for a large percentage of the players in the NBA does not belong. This is a show of empathy for the players in the league, and most importantly, the current and future players on the Clippers.
But deeds should matter more than words. And racism is immoral, so the analogy holds.
There are also blacks who argue that all whites are racists; if so, perhaps there should be no white owners in the NBA, or as former Knick Larry Johnson said the other day, all the black players should quit and form their own black league.
Isn’t that also racist?
-RSP
The point I was making is that Donald Sterling is not being punished for immorality, he is being expelled from a group that he should not belong to. The correct analogy would be to an adulterer being removed from the board of directors of the Faithful Husbands Club. I would call that a natural outcome, not a punishment.
R’ Pruzansky, perhaps you aren’t too familiar with the NBA (to your credit), but your general comments are off base for two reasons.
First of all, saying ” I would much prefer that the marketplace decide a person’s fate for deplorable conduct or speech, along with appropriate social ostracism.” The marketplace did dictate Mr. Sterling’s fate. The NBA is a collective of individual owners, but a collective nonetheless. Teams share certain parts of their revenue and the league’s salary cap is set by overall revenue. When advertisers jumped ship from the Clippers, it didn’t just hurt Mr. Sterling, it hurt the NBA as a whole. Mr. Sterling’s actions hurt the NBA as a whole, so the market dictated that the NBA act in such draconian fashion.
Second, you talk about the right of free speech. The 1st amendment refers only to the government not taking action against hate speech. This is private matter, not a matter of the government. It is important to recognize the difference and let the market, as you suggested, dictate this man’s punishment.
Finally, you talk about hypocrisy of other individuals giving free passes after promoting hate. But as Kohelet (10:2) says, “a wise person takes the correct path, the foolish one chooses the wrong path.” No matter the circumstances or other people, the fact remains that Mr. Sterling has created a huge chilul Hashem, and we as Yidden should be backing as far away from this man as possible, not looking for opportunity to defend him.
All things considered, Mr. Sterling will end up making hundreds of millions of dollars in profit from being “forced” to sell his basketball team. I can think of worse punishments, ones that he most certainly will endure when his 120 years are up on this Earth.
Thank you. I did allude to the marketplace in which he operates as a limitation on his tights, although there is some dispute as to whether or not he can be forced to sell.
Note also I didn’t refer to the First Amendment or governmental pressure. There is rather a growing tendency for the media and others to attempt to suppress certain offensive speech from some but not from others. I heard one fellow was fired from his job just for suggesting that it was no big deal. That’s worrisome.
Also, I don’t think Sterling is that identified as a Jew. If so, his general behavior is as contemptible as his speech.
-RSP
I hope Sterling sells the team to a Saudi (or equivalent), especially one that would require women to be fully covered to attend a game. I’d like to see how the NBA deals sorts out the politically correct response.
The NBA, right now, is in standing violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII.) Jointly and severally, every team in the league has hiring practices that have a disparate impact on whites. By current Supreme Court interpretation of the law, it doesn’t matter if blacks are BETTER; as long as there is no bona fide job qualification (BFJQ) that makes it impossible for whites to do it, then they have to be proportionately represented. Obviously whites have the BFJQ’s to play basketball. And yet all NBA teams draft far more black players than whites. Motive is not necessary. This is a textbook violation of the law under current theory. I say this as a practitioner of labor and employment law. I have ran this theory past several law professors and colleagues, who, after thinking about it, conceded I was right.
Any lawyer want to make some money? Find a white player from a Division I school that wasn’t drafted, and have him be the name plaintiff in a reverse discrimination class action on behalf of all other white draft-eligible players. There may have to be some appeals, but the case will win. At minimum, it will shine a light on the joke of what currently passes for “civil rights” in America today.
[Everything else the Rabbi said is 100% right, and frankly, he did go not go far enough.]
As an addendum to the above, I just heard at a CLE event yesterday that the whole concept of “disparate impact” will be before the Supreme Court this term. Intressante.
Should have noted also, as related to the above, that though we hear calls for affirmative action/reverse racism in every sector of the workforce, those calling for it are strangely silent when it comes to professional sports, where the salaries are the highest by far of all American industries. The hypocrisy makes me sick. That so much of the public-school educated electorate is so stupid so as not to even notice, makes it worse. (Of course, no one calling for affirmative action, including judges who allow it to go on, is ever willing to give up his OWN job in the holy name of affirmative action.) | 1 | en |
The main stream media, following orders from the DNC, and at the head of media the NYT, has successfully taken the real issues out of the limelight. HRC is the choice of media, the DNC, and of course the blind loyal party voters. HRC will lead us into war, she has failed miserably with her foreign policy's but the media says lets only look at any dirt we can find on DT. The NYT has gone as far as contacting every woman they can find just to dig up dirt that the loyalist in the dem. party lap up. Our political leaders from both sides do not want the voters to think on their own, they want, and have succeeded in getting, a voting bloc who like thirsty dogs lap up what they are told is important. DT is hated by both parties leaders, that in and of itself should open folks eyes but no, you voters have been told what to focus on and you like puppets on a string have danced to the party leaders. By the way dems., you all said character did not matter when you had BC as president.

Trouble attaching to other People
06-16-2008, 07:08 PM
My dd is 2 1/2 months old and use to love being passed around, & would often sleep through it. Now as she's gotten older she'll only allow to be passed around for a little bit before she starts to carry on and want only me. She won't even allow her father to hold her for more than 15 min. If we've had a busy day (and lot of people holding her) nobody can hold her without her starting to cry, for about 24 hrs. I make sure to take her regularly and encourage her to nap so she doesn't become over tired. when i say she's upset it's red faced, screaming at the top of her lungs. She'll only do that with me if she's gassy. how do i encourage her that she's safe with others?? and help her spend longer periods with her dad?
she's a little young yet, but she may be experiencing "stranger anxiety". it's a normal, developmental stage. respecting her fears is the best way to help her. if she wants you, then be there for her. w/dad, can you hold her together? nurse next to him while he talks to her? when she's alert and happy, both of you playing w/her and talking to eachother? she will take your cues that this is a safe person and you trust him.
The first thing I'd say is what a smart baby, she knows what feels best for her and will only accept the best - thats YOU. And what an understanding mom you are for recognizing her needs and respecting that.
All 4 of my children have gone through wanting ONLY me at different stages in their life. My youngest has always been a little bit more reserved of people than her oldest siblings, and I did my best to accept that and realize if I kept meeting her need for safety, security and trust (without allowing others to push themselves upon her) she would eventually warm up on her own terms. That didn't always mean she would run up to grandma with her arms outstretched or go into grandpa's arms when he wanted a kiss, but interact from the safety of my arms (or now dadd's arms also) with them. I really believe that the baby has an intense need for mama and vice versa (as much as their need for food) in the first year of life. In other cultures mothers and babies are referred to as the mamatoto (translation mama/baby). As one.
The other thing I hear in your post is a need for a break for yourself. Sometimes you need some down time from holding and caring for your child so you would like her to be comfortable with daddy. Some of the things we have done is involving daddy in everything we do; so if we go for a walk, we offer daddys chest (in a baby carrier) first, we read a book together with daddy's voice narrating it, we take a bath, with daddy helping out. So we involve daddy in all our activities when he is home so she can interact with him while still feeling close (physically too) to me. When she would fall asleep we would transfer her over t him in the baby carrier , they'd go for a walk, and I would get a few minutes here and there.
This time is so intense, those first 4 months. YOu can feel confident that she will attach to other people because you are giving her the gift of trust by respecting her attachment for you!
I agree with Marianne... babies like the safety of whom they need most, and know best. I don't like strangers, and prefer only to be around my closest family... so why would/should we expect an infant to do any better?
Give the child time. Give yourself time; slow down and enjoy this very short period, though it can be trying and exhausting...
There is a very interesting piece in the back of Mothering Magazine; a father's look at mothering and his job of fathering... it might give you and your DH some perspective and ideas.
Comment
Babies form their primary attachment bond first - and it sounds like your baby has a strong attachment to you. This is healthy. Lots of babies don't like to be "passed around" - every baby has a different tolerance. Right now, your baby sees herself as "part of" you. She depends on you completely for food, warmth, and safety. As she grows she will begin to form secondary attachments, likely to her father first, but this can take time. Try not to push, or she will become insecure and cling more.
My daughter was (and is) sensitive to new people. Remember, even though they are "family", they are complete strangers to her. It made those infant months challenging, but it was worth it! Hang in there. | 0 | en |

Since we are all supposed to be equal in the eyes of the law, let's set up special courts for people with jobs to be open on weekends and in the evening in the neighborhoods where working people live so they don't have to take off work or pay to park to appear in court. There should also be public defenders for everyone since the attorneys will be paid with tax money already paid in by the working folks. Guarantee no jail and leniency in fines, and that should work well. | 0 | en |

Typical Lefty response - raise taxes! There isn't a revenue problem but there is a spending problem. How is this run rate of $20Billion/year deficit benefiting you?

Mental health advocates serve a valuable purpose. A mentally ill person (and the accompanying family) often find themselves in a confusing matrix of doctors and courts. I give my appreciation to Dorrance Collins and Faith Myers for their willingness to give aid and take on responsibility. Thank you to both. | 0 | en |

Mr. Sussman: Your letter reminds us all that, indeed, mental illness (and substance/alcohol abuse) are diseases and too often we simply blame the individual for not being "strong" enough to avoid or "defeat" them. Mr. Alison's death, like other (likely) suicides are all too common among the large mentally ill and/or substance abusing population. As a society we need to do far more to help these very troubled individuals. Your letter reads like you knew Mr. Alison and may I offer my sympathy for the loss of your friend. Gary Crum | 0 | en |

Well there you have it. It's none of our business. Maybe. Maybe however, we , as voters should, use facts to evaluate candidates and clearly Bill repeatedly cheated on HIllary, was accused of sexual harassment in the workplace as well as rape. Those are facts. Also. a fact, HIllary is presenting herself a champion of women and women's rights. Her defenders continually accuse Hillary's detractors of "misogyny" for criticizing her record all while completely ignoring Bill and the aforementioned facts. Whether HRC supporters like it or not, Bill and Hillary are a package and each and every time Hillary or her supporters open their mouths about Trump and his misogyny, the finger will and should be pointed right back at Bill and consequently at Hillary for enabling him. | 0 | en |

The Dos and Don’ts of Unemployment: An Expert’s Guide
If I have one specialty in life, it’s choosing the most transient and financially unprofitable professions available to me. Part of this has to do with the fact that God has graced me with only useless talents. I tried to learn HTML and couldn’t, but I have won every limbo contest I have ever entered. I have never successfully run a copy machine by myself, but the speed and accuracy with which I can internet stalk a person could get me into the CIA if only I weren’t so chatty. I’m not that good at anything useful, but because of this, I’ve gotten really really good at being unemployed. Between working as a visual artist for most of my adult life, and then abandoning that endeavor for the infinitely more stable title of a writer, I’ve had the time to learn about navigating the mentally and emotionally draining adventure that is unemployment. And I decided to share with you because, um, I have some time on my hands.
Let me be clear—this list is not intended to help you get a job, or impress friends and family with your proactive outlook on a terribly unfortunate situation. I’m simply offering my advice on being the best non-contributing member of society that you can possibly be. Stick to this list, and you’ll never feel better about being a lazy piece of shit.
DO:
Day Drinking
Day drinking is the most superior form of drinking for a bunch of obvious reasons. The bars aren’t crowded because everyone is at work, Uber fares are never at surge pricing, and if you time it right, you sleep right through your hangover. Being unemployed gives you both the time and a perfectly acceptable reason to day drink, so you’d have to be an idiot not to. Note: when discussing your day drinking plans, it’s best to call it “networking.” People are way less worried about you that way.
Unemployment Yoga
This is just a fancy term for that thing when you do not eat, drink, or do anything that you can’t reach from your bed. You can get really good at it after a while. This may seem like a strange item on the Do list, but when you’re unemployed, everything you do should offer you some much needed perspective. As an unemployed person, you’re probably a little down on yourself, and let me tell you from experience, if you’ve laid in bed for four days, a task as menial as walking out to the mailbox makes you feel positively euphoric. You will walk back inside feeling how Oprah must feel at the end of the day. Also, when your mom calls, you can tell her you’ve been doing yoga and she’ll think she raised a really well-adjusted human being, and it feels good to make your mom feel good.
Netflix
Netflix is the Bible of the unemployed, so this is kind of a no-brainer. But aside from filling hours of free time, there is a serious component of accomplishment to spending time with your Netflix account. It’s also a great way to get back into the good graces of all your friends who have been bugging you to watch shit forever, but you haven’t done it because you’re “busy” when really you just don’t care.
Wikipedia
For the duration of your unemployment, you should always have a Wikipedia tab open. Without the pesky obligations a job imposes, you can look up all the stuff you wonder about on a daily basis but would normally forget to Google later. It’s good because when you’re home alone doing nothing all day, you’re not much of a conversationalist. Except now, when you run into friends later, you know everything there is to know about Tippi Hedren. And the Stephen King novel The Tommyknockers. And Seth Macfarlane’s sister.
DON’T:
Daytime TV
I know a LOT about the dangers of daytime TV. You may be asking yourself how this is any different from parking yourself in front of Netflix, and why one is on the Do list while the other is on the Don’t list. And the answer is simply conviction. Daytime TV is fine for the occasional day off, and a great backdrop for folding laundry or painting your nails. But subscribing to Daytime TV day in and day out means that you have stopped caring. You don’t enjoy it, it just happens to you. Flipping through the channels and stopping when something catches your eye is a slippery slope. Did you know Bones is on four hours a day!? Nothing is as alienating as being three months into an unemployment stint and caring about season five of Bones more than anything else in your life. You don’t even have the satisfaction of finishing a binge because you are prisoner to syndication schedules. Becoming addicted to daytime TV is the same thing as giving up.
Target
Target is the most dangerous place for a poor person to be, especially if you’re like me and Biore Pore Strips and scented candles are the only effective prescription for a bad mood. Stay miles away from Target, even if you need something from Target. Instead, spend your time at retailers that are so expensive you’d never shop there even if you were gainfully employed. Try things on and ask a bunch of questions like you’re completely planning on buying something, and then shrug and leave. Normally I wouldn’t condone this kind of behavior, but you’ve had a rough go of things, and the power trip will make you feel better. Also the sales people are employed and you’re not. No matter how nice they are, you’re allowed to lead them on, because their life is better than yours. It’s your pity party and you can lie if you want to. Lie if you want to. Lie if you want to.
Pinterest
Everyone knows Pinterest is just a list of things that you want to do, but don’t do because you just don’t have the time. When you’re unemployed, Pinterest becomes a list of things you want to do, but don’t do for no reason at all. You’ve got nothing but time, and I can guarantee you that no matter how hard you try, you will still never do anything on your Pinterest page. It’s depressing, but it’s the truth. In your delicate emotional state, just steer clear of that complicated and completely unnecessary to do list you’ve been compiling for months.
Home Improvement/Self Improvement/Any Kind of Improvement
Yes, arguably you have all this time to handle things you were putting off because you had a full time job and a social life and expendable income, but I am telling you, this is not the time to do it. Making the most of your unemployment means giving yourself a nice low bar with which to measure your future successes. If you spend your time training for half marathons, deep cleaning your closet, and developing new hobbies, your life is going to feel staggeringly empty when you’ve gone back to the grind. You’ll only appreciate a new job if your life was shit before it came along.
Now that I’ve helped you navigate the utter shittiness that is life, I am confident that you will ultimately come out on top. But before I leave you, I pose this question: | 1 | en |
