The 'No' Stage: Toddler Power Struggles
Avoiding Power Struggles
However, children cannot feel hungry or not hungry, or sleepy or not sleepy, any time they need to—or want to. So the child's inside information is an unreliable advantage, and here's where a parent can steer away from the power struggle by offering some control back to the child:
Instead of: "Do you need to go to the toilet, Joshua?"
Offer a choice: "Do you want Daddy to take you or do you want me to take you to the bathroom?"
While this strategy doesn't always work, it has a good track record and gives the message that Joshua has some say in what happens to him and that his parents respect him as a person.
Meals are often another occasion for difficult power struggles, and it's important to pick your battles carefully here. Very strict food rules impose control that no adult would tolerate. The price of admission to the "clean plate club" may be too high for the child and the family.
Your best time for making family diet decisions is the time when you have the most control—at the supermarket. Instead of bringing home a gallon of ice cream and then practically needing a lock on the freezer to keep the kids from it, you're better off buying only a small amount of ice cream or none at all.
The long-term goal is for the child to recognize and satisfy his or her own hunger with what's available. The short-term goal may be just as important: to create a relaxed family atmosphere that everyone enjoys.
Left with the selection you provide, most children will select a good diet overall, deviating occasionally from what is good for them along the way—the same pattern you find in adults. To emphasize this area of behavior when no serious problem exists may influence eating habits in dangerous directions—toward eating too much or too little—and it interferes with the mealtime atmosphere.
Take control when you must, but give it away as often as you can.

Room was very dirty. Found used razor in drawer and pill on floor. Air conditioner smelled musty. Towels smelled like cigarette smoke in a non-smoking room.
Good 8.0
The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Check-in and out was very simple. The room was clean and well stocked with linens.
I do not believe there was an elevator to get to our room on the second floor. If there was, I didn't find it.We only were staying a single night for a wedding the following day so we didn't spend much time in the room at all. That said, this hotel met my expectations. It was a little difficult to navigate in and out of the parking lot due to the hotel's location in relation to the updated traffic patterns since the hotel was probably first built. There were only a couple of issues. As previously mentioned, if there was an elevator to the second floor, it wasn't well marked (or did not exist). Also, the parking lot was a little cramped so if you have a larger vehicle, you may have to park in an area on the other side of the building. The friendliness of the staff was the best reason I would recommend this hot...

The owner and staff were real horse people, not just living in horse country. Very friendly and helpful. Twilight Polo at Great Meadow was a blast on Saturday night. Loved the snacks and wine on the porch and the library.
Just a personal peeve. I hate too many pillows, and once we took off all the pillows and the quilt there was no room to move around the room.We were so lucky to come on a super moon weekend - the grounds were lovely for our late evening stroll around the grounds. The horses were very friendly and the innkeeper let us feed them some apple cookies. The house's remodeling is just beautiful. We spend most of our time on the back porch sipping wine, eating cheese and playing dice. We dragged ourselves away with a picnic dinner to the twilight polo, then had a great time chatting up a fellow next to us who was a polo player himself, as well as a steeple chaser. The breakfast was huge. I wish they had asked us about dietary nee...

Poor 2.0
Conveinence to what we were in town for.
Breakfast, bedsThe king sized beds were hard as rocks, woke up stiff and sore from them. The complimentary hot breakfast should be skipped by all. The eggs were dry and you could tell came from a powder, french toast sticks were cold and could not find syrup to use, coffee was weak (thank goodness for Starbucks close by). Our room was on the top floor and the A/C had been turned off on a 95 degree day the room was so hot when we arrived. It took the A/C overnight to completely cool the room. The hotel uses low flow shower heads which are so low flow its wasteful since it takes a lot of extra time to rinse off especially if you have any hair on your head. Not pleased at all with this hotel, definitely not worth the money they charge.

The location was excellent. We were minutes away from the town center and places to eat and sight-see.
Yes, the state of the room and logic of the hotel manager.We booked two rooms, one smoking and one non-smoking. I have stayed in smoking rooms before, but none quite like this. Firstly, the beds were covered with plastic lining, so even the slightest movement was loud and obnoxious. Then, the tub creaked in both rooms. We literally thought we might fall through the floor. Next door, you could hear some sort of domestic dispute (we almost called the police). There is no closet. Your clothes are hung in the room beside the TV, and there is a small lop-sided coat rack near the door. Aside from the shabby rooms, the manager argued with us and Priceline about the prepaid charges. We had to change our arrival date since there was a winter storm. They were not willing to just change the dates, so we cancelled the booking then rebooked on the correct dat...

The Gaits: A High Line Soundwalk
The Gaits: A High Line Soundwalk
Turn your footsteps into sound during an evening stroll on the High Line.
The Gaits: A High Line Soundwalk is a free, downloadable iPhone application that features a score of electric guitar chords, zen gongs, and more composed by Lainie Fefferman, Jascha Narveson, and Cameron Britt, produced by Friends of the High Line in association with MATA and Make Music New York, and developed by Daniel Iglesia.
As participants walk, footsteps are turned into instrumental sounds as they move through a series of composed spaces along the High Line.
To join the fun, download the iPhone application and arrive promptly at 3:30 PM on the High Line at the southern end, at Gansevoort and Washington Streets. Together the group will walk north along the mile-long park.
If you own a small portable speaker, bring it along to use during the soundwalk, or be one of the first 50 participants to arrive at the meeting location to borrow a free, wearable speaker for the duration of the event.
For those who need elevator access, enter the High Line via the elevator at West 16th Street and 10th Avenue, and walk south toward Gansevoort Street.
This High Line Program is free and open to visitors of all ages. No RSVP required. Rain or shine.
Make Music New York's second annual Make Music Winter features twelve participatory, musical parades throughout New York City on December 21st, the first night of winter. Inspired by composer Phil Kline's annual Unsilent Night, which has drawn thousands of participants since its launch in 1992, Make Music Winter includes innovative projects for bells, brass bands, electric guitars, iPhones, percussionists, singers, strings, and more. Like its summer counterpart, Make Music Winter is free, outdoors, and profoundly participatory. All are invited to join in. Details are available at makemusicny.org.
New York composer Lainie Fefferman has written music for voices, orchestral instruments, banjoes, bagpipes, shawms, car parts, and electronic media. Her music draws inspiration from the rigorous, the gorgeous, the nasty, and the zany. She began her studies as a math major, but ended up a composer at Yale and is now working toward a PhD in composition at Princeton. Her recent collaborators include Newspeak, JACK Quartet, So Percussion, and electric guitar quartet Dither. She has sung at the United Nations, been a rehearsal pianist at Westminster Choir College, and performed on kazoo with the Bang on a Can All-Stars.
Jascha Narveson was raised in a concert hall and put to sleep as a child with an old vinyl copy of the Bell Laboratories mainframe computer singing "Bicycle Built for Two." Awash in the sounds of chamber music recitals in his parents' house-concert series from an early age, he spent his high-school years playing in improvisatory un-music bands and listening to increasingly esoteric music from various corners of the globe and subcultural strata of the industrialized world. These influences mixed with intensive traditional training in North and South Indian rhythmic traditions, a summer residency with Bang On A Can, and degrees in acoustic and electronic composition from Wilfrid Laurier University, Wesleyan's MA in experimental and world music, and Princeton's doctoral program. His music is a vibrant testament to these influences, combining the Western composer's love of novelty with an unshakable devotion to rhythm, physicality and "flow" inherited from everywhere else. His music has been played in many places by many people, some of them famous, others deserving of fame, all of them deserving of thanks.
Composer, percussionist and electronic musician N. Cameron Britt is a PhD candidate in composition at Princeton University. As a percussionist he performs with Dithyramb, a free improvisation duo with cellist Tom Kraines, and he has performed extensively with the North Carolina Symphony and many other orchestras throughout the Southeast. His compositions have been performed by the Brentano String Quartet, So Percussion, Ensemble Klang, janus, NOW Ensemble and PLOrk. He is currently building an electromagnetically actuated vibraphone, which should be pretty cool.
Daniel Iglesia creates music and media for humans, computers, and broad interactions of the two. His works have taken the form of concert works for instruments and electronics, live audio and video performance, generative and interactive installations, and collaborations with many disciplines such as theater and dance. His work has been presented in such diverse venues as Lincoln Center, Eyebeam Gallery, the Kitchen, the Experimental Media Series at the Hirshhorn Museum (Washington D.C.), Art.Tech@The Lab (San Francisco), the Hamburger Klangwerktage (Hamburg) and the World Expo 2010 (Shanghai). His concert works have been performed by the California EAR Unit, So Percussion, the SEM Ensemble, the Talea Ensemble, the International Contemporary Ensemble, the Ostravska Banda, and many others. He has a doctorate from Columbia, and co-led PLOrk in 2010 and 2011. He recently gave a talk on PLOrk at TEDx Brooklyn.

Masterton police have appealed to people living in the vicinity of Dixon, Bannister and French streets to be vigilant about locking their cars and to report any suspicious behaviour, after several cars were broken into.
Senior Sergeant Warwick Burr said the break-ins on Tuesday night were the latest in a number of car break-ins in the town.
At 11.30pm on Tuesday, a person in French St heard noises and then discovered the front driver's side window of his vehicle had been smashed and the glovebox had been rummaged through.
Nothing was taken from the vehicle.
Mr Burr said that following the break-in the complainant saw two men wearing dark clothing running off.
Later, police received a report of another car break-in at the Warehouse Stationery carpark on the corner of Dixon St and Bannister St.
The driver's window was broken and a quantity of eggs were stolen.
Mr Burr said the Dixon St/Bannister St area in particular had seen a higher than usual number of car break-ins and he was advising people in the area to be aware of the threat.
Anyone who saw anything suspicious or heard unusual sounds like smashing glass should contact the police.

New Wine with More Functions
A new version of Wine, the program loader that lets Windows run on Linux, has been released.
Amongst the improvements are a Gecko engine update and better region support in GdiPlus. The library, introduced in 2001, incorporates Gdi32 and takes care of 2D support. Winegcc, Wine's GCC wrapper, with the inclusion of a "-b" option, now enables cross-compilation.
Wine 1.1.15 has also begun with the support of MS Text Framework and contains many fixes for regression tests on Windows. Other fixes prevent the Black & White demo crashing and have rectified an install fault in the VMware Infrastructure Client. Fixes for the Freenet SMS software and the DOSBox are also included.
A detailed list of changes and improvements can be found in the project announcement. A source code download is available here, with most of the large distributions having source packages ready for access which can be easily installed via the package manager. Information about how external packages can be integrated can be found in the download section of the Wine website.

Police scoured the area looking for a man who tried to break into a woman's house overnight.
The sound of a low-flying police helicopter was enough to wake even the soundest sleepers early Friday morning in north Charlotte.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police canine units were seen checking the woods behind a row of homes off of Cochrane Drive near Statesville Road.
Neighbors, dressed in bathrobes stood on their porches trying to get a glimpse of what was going on.
Officials said a man tried to break into a house through a side window just after midnight, when the homeowner confronted him.
The man turned around and took off, leaving the homeowner scrambling to call for help.
Crime Scene Investigators came out to collect evidence and talk to witnesses.
There are no reports of any arrests as of yet in this case.

Financial Reform Impacts the Farm
Jul 15, 2010
By Matt Bogard
From the Wall Street Journal :
Finance Overhaul Casts Long Shadow on the Plains
"Farmer Jim Kreutz uses derivatives to soften the blow should the price of feed corn drop before harvest. His brother-in-law, feedlot owner Jon Reeson, turns to them to hedge the price of his steer. The local farmers' co-op uses derivatives to finance fixed-price diesel for truckers who carry cattle to slaughter.…
The question for these farmers is whether such rules will make hedging more expensive. Some say new requirements on big players will create higher costs for small players, including the cash dealers will have to put aside to enter into private derivatives transactions. Some brokers think restrictions on big-money banks and investors will drain the amount of money available to the everyday deals farmers favor…
Mr. Gengenbach estimates that one quarter of his farm clients use derivatives".
One thing is, the financial reform bill does little to address the causes of the financial crisis (see the Posner and Becker blog for Five Major Defects of the Financial Reform Bill-
) and as the above points out, could have a negative impact on farms.Some bloggers and others have already attacked the Wall Street Journal article as being hack journalism, for example see:
Tries to Tie Farmers to Bank Reform, Fails
Ryan Chittum
'The paper wants you to get the impression that yeoman farmers are getting crushed under the wheel of the new bill. Or that they are afraid they will..' (
USDA research indicates that across the board as many as 25% of farmers utilize futures markets or hedges to manage their risk. The report indicated that it's not just the wealthiest farmers using these tools either. Data presented in that report indicated that in 1996 almost 20% of farmers earning below $50,000 utilized futures hedges. That's not everyone, but we are still talking about thousands of farms. Now not all of these are using products that may directly be affected by the legislation, but as the Journal points out,there are concerns that
'restrictions on big-money banks and investors'
could reduce capital and increase the costs of the products that every day farmers use.(or at least the 25% that currently may be utilizing these risk management tools). Besides the Wall Street Journal, as reported on
, agricultural economist Scot Irwin explains the number of ways that this legislation could impact farmers that don't directly use the kind of products specifically addressed by this legislation. Again, as many politicians and journalists ( like those critical of the WSJ article) fall prey to the fallacy of concentrating only on what is seen (vs. unseen) Irwin points out the
"law of unintended consequences may make it much more likely that a commercial enterprise will get caught up in these limits."
Some are critical that the Journal only pointed out 'potential worries' but never in fact talked to real farmers that had real concerns or (I guess they forgot about the farmer showcased in the article that hedges 70% of his crop). But the truth is, and the lesson we learned from the Great Depression is that it is worry and uncertainty that in fact prevent a market rebound and encourage prolonged stagnation as much as real direct impacts can.
"Businessmen came to ask themselves whether Roosevelt really understood a system where the hope of profit sparks expansion and investment. Or did he believe simply in centralizing decision and authority in boards and "planners" along the Patomac?"
-John Chamberlain
Chamberlain goes on to explain how many businesses during the great depression were developing the products that would fuel the economic growth we saw in the decades that followed. Only, during the depression, Roosevelt's reforms and policies created uncertainty that kept them from taking any action until after WWII.
"the magnitude of the response of U.S. business to the war is in itself refutation of the thesis that in the thirties businessmen simply sat on their hands..it simply would not have been able to produce the new type of goods when the war button was pressed"
The financial reform bill certainly has the potential to prolong the recession and have a negative impact on many sectors of the economy including agriculture. As quoted in the AgWeb story:
Scott Irwin, ag economist at the University of Illinois, says the impact on agriculture is a guessing game. Irwin, who has studied market players for many years, notes that the impacts on farmers and those with whom they do business will very much depend upon how the law is interpreted and enforced."
And that is an awful truth. When it comes to comprehensive reforms like these, (over 2,000 pages) it isn't what the bill says, it's not what your elected representative says it means, it's what some lawyer, bureaucrat, or judge interprets it to mean after it has passed. That isn't the kind of government our founders intended, but it does create the uncertainty that is dragging out this recession. Great reporting by the WSJ and AgWeb.

Is GMO Free the Next Ford Pinto
Jul 10, 2010
By Matt Bogard
Does corporate greed put our lives and environment at risk? Some believe so, and as this naïve college student in the 1970's points out, (see video via
) the Ford Pinto is a prime example. However, as Milton keenly corrects him, risk is just one more tradeoff that we make in our everyday lives. Sometimes it is between risk vs. convenience (an easier to use product that comes with more risk) or risk vs. value ( a riskier but more affordable product). Profit maximizing companies try to produce goods and services that match as closely as possible consumer preferences, including preferences related to risk. Now it is true that if a firm is grossly negligent, they should be liable. But as Friedman points out, producing a product that simply factors in consumer's risk preferences is not the same thing as negligence.
In agriculture we see that many people voluntarily take risks that may seem absurd to others- for example consuming medium or rare ground beef, raw milk (where legal) , or even organic vegetables where it has been found that 'the use of animal wastes for fertilization of produce plants increased the risk of
E. coli
contamination in and semi-organic produce significantly.' (organic produce was found to make E.coli contamination 13 times more likely with a 95% confidence interval) It's not just organic, but conventional non-GMO foods also have increased health risks. Foods made with GMO-free corn have been shown to have increased levels of fusarium infestation and higher levels of the toxin fumonisin.
Besides personal risks, there are also environmental risks related to food choices. When Kroger (and other retailers) decided to remove all milk containing Monsanto's green technology rbST ( recombinant bovine somatotropin) they immediately increased their carbon footprint in their dairy supply chain, noting that the use of rbST in the dairy industry has resulted in the equivalent of removing '400,000 family cars from the road or planting 300 million trees.' Biotech (GMO) crops in general have lead to reduced fossil fuel use, reduced carbon footprint, and reduced use of toxic chemicals. In general, the decision to buy GMO free or organic has attached with it, environmental risks.
Of course consumers should be given choices. At least with the Ford Pinto, to my knowledge, it was not marketed as the world's safest and most environmentally friendly car. But, unlike the Pinto, many food products, especially non-GMO lines, are marketed as or at least give many the impression of having reduced personal and environmental risk. This could be misleading.
As Conko, Miller and Kersh point out:
'Companies that insist upon farmers' using production techniques that involve foreseeable harms to the environment and humans may be held legally accountable for that decision. If agricultural processors and food companies manage to avoid legal liability for their insistence on nonbiotech crops, they will be 'guilty' at least of externalizing their environmental costs onto the farmers, the environment and society at large.'
Which leads me to ask, is GMO free going to be the next Ford Pinto?

Re-imagining Democracy, Rebuilding Tunisia
In all the conversations and manifestos that have ever been, or will ever be, on the benefits of democracy, never has the word 'easy' come up.
No, I haven't checked sources to be able to make such an absolute statement. There's no need. It's self-evident.
Being a born and bred American, and having visited the motherland - Tunisia - yearly and lived here for nearly the entirety of 2011, I've seen democracy in various stages of its life. The United States has nearly 240 years under its belt, so it's problems are more developed, yet less critical, I'd say, than those with which Tunisia is struggling at present. The Tunisian democracy is on a ledge; any mis-step can doom the whole experiment to failure.
The bickering, whether in the halls of government buildings or in cafés lining avenues across the country, is constant and never-ending; the social and economic divisions are ever-present and expanding. It seems the minute you solve one problem, a hundred more emerge.
It's a matter of immeasurable pride to be Tunisian. In no one's wildest dreams just one year ago would we have accomplished half of what we're seeing manifest today.
Various Commissions to Protect and Sustain Revolutionary Goals.
Kasbah Protests to Exert Pressure for True Reforms.
Independent Electoral Commission (ISIE).
Successful Elections of National Constituent Assembly (NCA) on October 23, 2011.
And now, Forming a Coalition Government.
Admittedly, everyone knew it would be difficult to form a government characterized by national consensus and unity. Negotiations over who would be President of the Republic, Prime Minister, President of the NCA dragged on for around 10 days after the preliminary results of the elections were released by the ISIE. The country found itself, once again, in a state of limbo, motionless, anxious, confused, waiting..
Desperate, there were even reports that my father, Dr. Radwan (sometimes spelled 'Radhouane') Masmoudi, was to be Prime Minister! Imagine my shock, and dismissive chuckles. Here's a Business News article, correcting an earlier article on the subject: http://www.businessnews.com.tn/Accords-conclus—Marzouki-prĆ©sident,-Ben-JĆ¢afar-Ć%C2%A0-lĀ'AssemblĆ©e-et-Djebali-Premier-ministre,520,27720,1
More than one month after the elections, and final decisions about these and other key positions have yet to be confirmed by the Assembly. In truth, the NCA is still quarreling over its internal voting rules and procedures, so hopes for decisions about government positions, let alone ones involving a new Constitution, are so far pending.
Thus is democracy. As a friend aptly put it, "It's messy, but I'd choose democracy over [a benevolent dictator] any day."
So we move forward. We keep working. Struggling. Protesting. Demanding. Amending. Forming, and reforming, until we get it right.
تونسية، و راسي عالي — I'm Tunisian, and I hold my head up high.

History of the SRC
In 2008 Provost Barbara Burch created the Student Research Council, a university-wide committee charged with promoting student scholarly activity on campus and organizing the annual student conference. Since that year, the Student Research Council has organized the annual Student Research Conference, with financial support provided by the WKU chapter of Sigma Xi, the Office of the Provost, the Office of Research, and other university units.
In 2011-2012 the Student Research Council initiated an exciting new program. With support from the Office of the Provost and the Office of Research, the Student Research Council developed a weeklong celebration of student and faculty scholarship. REACH (Research Experiences and Creative Heights) Week spanned March 17-24, 2012 and featured a keynote address by archaeologist and author Dr. Brian Fagan, as well as research showcases hosted by nine colleges and programs. The culminating activity of REACH Week was the annual Student Research Conference. REACH Week has continued to evolve and now includes showcases by the Gatton Academy and the Honors College, and the Student Research Conference continues to be a marquee yearly event at WKU.
Prior to the creation of the Student Research Council in 2008, the annual Student Research Conference was organized by the WKU chapter of Sigma Xi, which is an international research society. Between 1970 and 2002, Sigma Xi organized and funded the WKU Student Research Conference, including keynote speakers and a banquet honoring conference session winners. For the next three years, the conference was jointly sponsored and organized by Sigma Xi and the University Honors Program. In 2006, WKU hosted a weekend-long celebration of student scholarship that included the Potter College Undergraduate Conference on Friday and the annual WKU Student Research Conference on Saturday, the latter again sponsored by Sigma Xi and the University Honors Program. The following year, a special committee comprised of representatives of each college, the University Honors Program, and Sigma Xi organized the conference. In 2006-2007 Sigma Xi and the Office of the Provost provided financial support for the conference.

With a total of 10 nominations for this year's upcoming Academy Awards, The Artist has largely proven to be a hit amongst both audiences and critics. Taking its inspiration from Hollywood's silent era, the film's fictional narrative focuses on George (Jean Dujardin), an actor who falls from popularity with the advent of the 'talkies'. His loss of stardom takes on an added poignancy alongside the presence of Peppy (Bérénice Bejo), a young, glamorous actress who becomes a rising star with the coming of sound. But it's not only the story of the film and its setting that are rooted in the past, The Artist is in itself a (mostly) silent film and uses various recognisable tropes of the time period in addition to its lack of dialogue.
Filmed on colour stock and converted into monochrome in post-production, the clarity of the images are as good as any contemporary film, with the black-and-white cinematography helping to recreate the glamour and romance associated with old Hollywood. Use of archaic screen transitions (such as the iris wipe, a common feature at the end of cartoons like the Looney Tunes), occasional intertitles and an old-fashioned, box-y aspect ratio also contribute to the period feel of the piece. While some viewers may find it difficult to sit through a film without speech, the plot is relatively simplistic and the performances are exaggerated just enough to aid the viewers' understanding of events. A brilliant score accompanies the film and helps to prevent the mood from lagging, yet in some places it is the complete absence of sound that proves to be the most effective. The film's introduction places us in the environment of a late-1920s cinema, with a silent film playing accompanied by live musicians. This film-within-the-film then ends, but rather than going straight into the next section of the soundtrack, director Hazanavicius chooses to provide us with a complete absence of sound accompanying shots of the crowd breaking into rapturous applause. This technique is used again at the film's climax and is greatly effective in defying the audience's expectations. Music is typically used in film-making during moments of heightened emotion or tension in order to signal to the audience how they ought to be feeling at that moment. Removing sound altogether implies that the emotion of the scene is powerful enough to be capable of standing alone.
Similarly to fellow best picture nominee Midnight in Paris, The Artist features a protagonist who seems unable to move on from the past into the present. The film also plays on the feelings of sentimentality and nostalgia that many of us feel for a bygone age. While the silent era is romanticized, the film also plays tribute to many other past eras of cinema, referencing works that in the context of the film's early-1930s setting haven't even been made yet. One scene towards the end of the film borrows music from Bernard Herrmann's soundtrack to Vertigo (a decision greatly condemned by one of the film's stars, Kim Novak) to accompany a shot depicting George looking into a shop window. This references a similar moment in Vertigo where Scotty, equally unable to let go of the past, is seen gazing into the window of a florist's shop. While The Artist seems in many ways like an ode to great cinema of the past, these references are subtle enough and the film light-hearted enough to still appeal to viewers who don't share Hazanavicius' great passion and knowledge of film.
In many ways the film's greatest appeal is in managing to recreate the silent era in a sufficiently sentimental way to keep the nostalgic among us satisfied. While this film has been hugely successful, I have to wonder whether silent cinema would remain as popular if contemporary directors left, right and centre started using this technique once again. We tend to romanticize the past, deeming the present to be unsatisfactory in comparison to 'the good old days'. If silent film-making was to become a commonplace technique once more we would probably just find ourselves in a constant state of nostalgia for the 'good old days' of meaningless action films about giant robots that can turn into cars. In reality, no period of cinema has been without its fair share of bad films, but we tend to forget about this when looking back through a pair of rose-tinted glasses at it all.
The Artist's sentimentality comes close to being cheesy, but manages to remain more of an homage to the genre than a crude pastiche. If you have the patience to sit through a film without dialogue (and I feel very sorry for anybody who lacks the attention span to do that), this film is very rewarding. You can't help but leave the cinema with a huge smile on your face.

Playing to Learn
Playing with our kids—and their toys—is one of parenting's top perks. Better yet, playtime boosts little ones' physical, cognitive, and emotional development. Read on for expert advice on choosing the best toys for baby, at every stage of play.
Safe and Simple
For infants: "The best infant toys are simple, colorful, and made from natural, untreated material such as wood," says Jan Hunt, the Asheville, Oregon-based author of The Natural Child: Parenting from the Heart and A Gift for Baby. "Above all, infants' toys should be safe," Hunt continues. "Babies put everything into their mouths, so their toys should contain no small parts that could be swallowed."
Choose Soft Objects
For infants: "Objects an infant can hold will help develop her coordination," says Patricia Lucas, a parenting expert and family therapist in Golden Valley, Minnesota. "But remember, it's very likely an infant will hit herself in the face many times as she learns to coordinate her reflexes … so stick with softer toys that are easy for sweet little hands to grasp."
Rattle Within Reason
For infants: "It's OK to try distracting a crying baby with a rattle, but be ready to drop this approach if it doesn't work on the first couple attempts," Lucas says. "Shaking a rattle right in a baby's face can be overwhelming for an infant's highly tuned senses, too. Instead, hold the toy at a distance, and if your baby isn't calmed by its sound, put it down and reassure him with your present, loving contact."
Ease Teething Pain
For infants: "Teething objects can really help to ease the discomfort of new teeth coming in," says Lucas. "Choose firm, but not hard, objects a baby can easily hold, but not reach too far into their mouths." "Teethers with liquid inside can present a safety hazard," cautions Hunt, who's also a mom of two. "A damp washcloth that has been put in the freezer is a safe alternative that works just as well … and it's free!"
Hit the Gym
For infants: "Sturdy, simple play mats and 'gyms' are excellent for stimulating your curious, alert baby's senses," Hunt says. "They're ideal for tummy time, and babies who can sit up often still enjoy playing with the mirrors, plush shapes and rattles that hang from these types of toys."
What Interests Baby
For bigger babies: "A great way to select toys for your baby or toddler is to go to the toy store together, and notice what captures your child's attention," suggests Lucas. "You'll want to make sure the toy is safe and age-appropriate, of course, but letting your baby lead the way will mean she'll select toys that stimulate her."
Have a Ball
For bigger babies: "Balls are wonderful toys, as they help develop balanced, healthy brain structure through repetitive movement in play," says Lucas. " It also helps teach toddlers how to handle excitement, as well as developing both gross and fine motor skills. Even rolling a ball back and forth with your baby who's just learned to sit up will aid his development in this way."
Block It
For bigger babies: "Stacking blocks, letter blocks, and building block sets enable a child to build endless structures—these aren't toys children will become bored with. Blocks also 'grow' with children; your baby may love to hold and chew on her alphabet blocks at 6 months, and then enjoy building towers with the same toy at a year old," Hunt says.
Hello, Dolly
For bigger babies: "Toddlers, even those who aren't yet talking, can tell you a lot by how they play with dolls," Lucas says. "For clues about what makes your child feel most comforted and safe, pay attention to how he cares for his dolls."
"The best dolls are those that leave the most to the child's imagination," says Hunt. "Simple facial features allow toddlers to ascribe different emotions to the doll."
Puzzle Them
For toddlers: "Toddlers will often first be drawn to puzzles around 16 or 18 months old," Lucas says. "I think puzzles are one of the most developmentally helpful toys for these early ages, when they begin to take an interest in problem-solving. As parents, we should remember to offer only gentle guidance as our child works on fitting a puzzle's pieces into place; the puzzle's process is what counts for our kids, rather than the finished product."
Push and Pull
For toddlers: "Tots who are beginning to walk just love push and pull toys!" says Hunt. "These toys come in countless styles, and are a preferred alternative to baby walkers, which have caused injuries to babies."
Splish Splash
For toddlers: "Being in water will often bring back the experiences of the womb for infants and toddlers. This can be particularly creative, imaginative play time for them," says Lucas.
"The best bath toys, such as water wheels, help children explore how water behaves in various situations," Hunt says. "Even pouring water from one cup into another will fascinate a toddler in the tub!"
Make Noise
For toddlers: "Acting out musical movements and dancing with your toddler is fabulous play. And while infants are highly sensitive and will prefer soft, soothing music, toddlers can handle more volume, and will have fun with energetic music from time to time," Lucas says. "Playing simple instruments with our children gives them the experience of a safe and beautiful world."
Cultivate Creativity
For toddlers: "In general, the best toys are those that put no limit on the child's creativity," says Hunt. "For example, a pad of unlined paper and a set of crayons is infinitely better than a coloring book. We should always ask ourselves how much of the play expresses the child's ideas and intentions, and how much expresses the toy designer's ideas. The more we maximize the child's input, the more fun he'll have with the toy."

LANSING (WKZO) -- Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette is resuming his push to unseat seven members of the Detroit Board of Education.
The AG is hoping to persuade a judge to order their removal. Schuette sued the board in August, accusing them of illegally holding office because they were elected by district, not at-large as state law required.
A Wayne County judge dismissed the suit, citing concerns over the impact of legislation that was being debated, at the time, to replace Michigan's emergency manager law. Schuette says that since the law was repealed by voters in November, it no longer affects the case and he wants the board members removed.

|Dead witch walking
by Harrison, Kim
Wonderful series. Harrison has carved out a great niche for herself with this series. Who knew such things were going on in Cincinatti? posted May 8, 2007 at 5:22PM
|Tall, dark & dead
by Hallaway, Tate
Not marked towards my demographic, but I read the book and enjoyed it immensely. The sequel just came out, Dead Sexy. posted May 8, 2007 at 5:21PM
|Storm front
by Jim Butcher
Harry Dresden is a hero who's having trouble paying his rent and keeping his car in repair. Butcher's sense of humor keeps Dresden a classic character. Much better than the Sci Fi channel series. posted May 8, 2007 at 5:20PM
|A Feast for crows
by George R. R. Martin
Martin is the master. No one is writing better fantasy today. posted May 8, 2007 at 5:18PM
|Shaman's crossing
by Hobb, Robin
A very unique main character, especially for genre fiction. Hobb is always great at character development and this middle book of her latest series doesn't disappoint. posted May 8, 2007 at 5:17PM
|Anansi boys
by Neil Gaiman
I found it to be a stronger book than American Gods. Gaimain's sense of humor and his love for his characters shines through. posted May 8, 2007 at 5:15PM
|The Ghost brigades
by John Scalzi
Fantastic book. Lots of action and interesting ideas. It's a quick read. Science Fiction at it's best. posted May 8, 2007 at 5:13PM
