His Middle Name Really is Records
If you're not familiar with the name John "Records" Landecker, you're either too young or haven't really paid attention to the history of this business. Landecker, who still spins music and talks to listeners on WLS-FM in Chicago at the age of 65, produced some of the best radio on record back in the 70's at WLS-AM. The decade of the 70's was big for Landecker. WLS-AM was one of the most dominant stations in the country as big booming AM's still played a vital role in the radio landscape. He credits his big career break to the late Rick Buckley who once gave him a slot after Joey Reynolds. Landecker has written a book about his journey through radio. It's called Records Truly Is My Middle Name and we recently spoke to him about his successful radio life and why he's written this book.
Why did you decide to write this book?
Landecker: That's a very good question. That's a question I ask myself many times. I didn't have a job for a while there. I had attempted to segue into talk radio. That didn't seem to be panning out. Other attempts at employment didn't work out. I thought about this a lot. For somebody like me, who has spent his entire life going into a radio station and doing a show every day, and that being somewhat of a creative process, where you put yourself out there, if you stop doing that, you don't feel right. I think the book is actually one big show. It's a radio show, only it's on paper. Before, if I wrote something down, it became part of the radio show. It has elements in it that I think if I were in a certain type of format today, I would include as part of my show. I think other people who are in certain types of format include it in their shows
where they came from, who they are, their family, their foibles, sex, drugs, rock and roll. You know, that kind of thing.
RI: Why do you think people are going to want to read it?
Landecker: Because the stories are entertaining. That's it. It has nothing to do with the fact that I was on the radio or that my middle name is Records, which is all in there, of course. It's entertaining. I will just give you a small idea of what I'm talking about. My first wife and I were getting divorced. I had two small girls. I decided, as a responsible father, I should take them on a vacation to someplace secluded, where we could have quality time. I contacted a travel agent who booked the three of us on a small island in the Bahamas. They only had one dining room in the whole place. There weren't many other tourists there. However, there was a group from Playboy Enterprises shooting centerfolds for their Italian edition. I'll let you read the book and find out what happens after that.
RI: Many people got into radio because they used to listen to people like you and Lujack and others. Do you think that can still happen in radio today?
Landecker: Good question. Well, I'm not familiar with the talent on the air around the country, to be honest with you. I don't know. I just don't know. I hope so. But, I couldn't give you a definitive answer one way or another. I know that popular opinion is that no, it can't. I'm glad that I'm not trying to get into radio now, I can tell you that.
RI: At what point do you think the industry changed from being about the personalities, guys like you, names that made radio so strong?
Landecker: The 1990's, I think. When consolidation started. Huge ownership of stations. When programming was aimed more at the bottom line for stockholders than it was for the listeners. Initially, if my memory is correct, that really played havoc with on-air talent. Eventually it started playing havoc with management. When I saw it playing havoc with management, I thought "Uh oh. This really isn't good." All of a sudden you had one GM in charge of multiple stations, one Program Director programming multiple formats. Plus, they eliminated competition, because now former competitors could quite possibly be owned by the same people. That's where I think I noted things beginning to deteriorate. After that came voice tracking and syndication and all that other stuff. But, this is where I first felt something was happening.
RI: If you could give somebody some advice that cracks the mic and goes on music radio today, what would you tell them?
Landecker: Do what you believe in. Be willing to take constructive criticism. Be willing to work any shift in any city. I think it's like any job, if someone is actually really driven to do it, it will work out.

(3/18/2013 9:31:20 PM) I'd been in radio for a yr or so in South Jersey while still in h.s. My mom drove me to WIBG to meet Joey Reynolds (who I later worked with). Instead I got to meet "Scott Walker" who soon aftetwards began using his real name...JRL! The cross-overs between Joey & Landecker @ 10 p.m. (& that whole group of talented personalties encouraged by Rick Buckley) was the reason many of us pursued our careers in the art of radio~ I'm now in my 21st yr at WDRC-FM Hartford/Buckley Radio CT Jerry Kristafer |

(3/18/2013 6:00:44 PM) The suggestion that talent - the likes of all those icons - is no longer around is, of course, pure nonsense. The problems are at least two-fold: They (the talent) have to be found and hired, and they have to be trained - better trained than any of the guys we grew up admiring. Why? Because the competition from other media is greater, the audience is a lot better informed and fickle, and the stakes are higher. |

(3/18/2013 2:40:54 PM) You members of the NOSTALGIA club can eat my dust. "Remember When" radio was fun? Remember when...? Remember when...? One day you'll be saying "I remember when I HAD A JOB, but the business outgrew me while I was looking in the rearview mirror. |
- Dr. Donut |
(3/17/2013 2:25:24 PM) Sad that there is no new talent to compare with Landecker, not to mention Robert W Morgan, The Real Don Steele, Doctor Don Rose, et al. Tells you something about the state of radio these days. And that something isn't good. But, hey, in five years there'll be no car radios, either, so who cares, huh? |

Presidential Election and the Supreme Court: 'New-Rights' vs. Authentic Human Rights On the Ballot
Don't buy the nonsense that this election doesn't matter. It does - and we are responsible for our choices.
The current Supreme Court has marriage, the role of parents in the education of their children, religious and economic liberty - and many other matters which could determine the future of freedom on its docket. This fact alone should bring every Pro-Life, Family and Freedom American to the ballot box on November 6, 2012.
WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - On May 4, 2009, Pope Benedict XVI spoke to members of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences. He sounded a common theme of his papal Magisterium - that there is a Natural Law which can be known by all men and women through the exercise of reason. He explained that this Natural Law reveals to all men and women the existence of fundamental human rights which are binding upon all Nations and for all time.
"The Church has always affirmed that fundamental rights, above and beyond the different ways in which they are formulated and the different degrees of importance they may have in various cultural contexts, are to be upheld and accorded universal recognition because they are inherent in the very nature of man, who is created in the image and likeness of God. If all human beings are created in the image and likeness of God, then they share a common nature that binds them together and calls for universal respect."
Believing in the Natural Law as the source of fundamental human rights is absolutely critical in the light of the current decline of Western civilization. In the U.S. and much of Europe there is a denial of fundamental Human Rights which began with the denial of the foundation of all true human rights, the Right to Life. Rights are goods of the human person - not ethereal concepts floating around somewhere. When there is no human person there can be no rights for him or her to receive as an endowment from our Creator and exercise in civil society.
The Pope told the leaders: "Strictly speaking, these human rights are not truths of faith, even though they are discoverable - and indeed come to full light - in the message of Christ who "reveals man to man himself" (Gaudium et Spes, 22). They receive further confirmation from faith. The Church's action in promoting human rights is therefore supported by rational reflection, in such a way that these rights can be presented to all people of good will, independently of any religious affiliation they may have."
The Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church explains that the legitimate exercise of freedom requires Natural Law as a reference point: "The exercise of freedom implies a reference to a natural moral law, of a universal character, that precedes and unites all rights and duties. The natural law "is nothing other than the light of intellect infused within us by God."
"Thanks to this, we know what must be done and what must be avoided. This light or this law has been given by God to creation". It consists in the participation in his eternal law, which is identified with God himself. This law is called "natural" because the reason that promulgates it is proper to human nature. It is universal; it extends to all people insofar as it is established by reason." (Compendium #240)
In an Orwellian twist the denial of fundamental human rights now comes couched in counterfeit "rights talk" which substitutes judicially or legislatively manufactured "new-rights" in their place. It uses what Orwell called "newspeak". The most egregious example is labeling an intrinsically evil act, the taking of innocent human life in the womb, a "new-right" to abortion. Abortions do not have rights, human persons do. Every procured abortion takes away a child's Right to Life. One can never have a "right" take innocent human life. That is the case even if the positive law of a given State declares it to be "legal". Every procured abortion violates the Natural Law Right to Life.
Another example is the enforcing of a legal equivalency between homosexual relationships and marriage in the civil law. This is done by relabeling opposition to true marriage as supporting a "new-right" to "marriage equivalency". This is a verbal subterfuge, calling homosexual partnerships what they can never be because they cannot fulfill the ends of marriage.
Those who support marriage as a lifelong committed relationship between one man and one woman are now recast as "opposing marriage rights". In an Orwellian spin, they are accused of excluding people from marrying, being "narrow minded" or trying to push "values" or, even worse "religion", on others. No matter where one stands on other current issues, if you support marriage as marriage you are a bigot in this age of moral relativism.
The oxymoron, "gay marriage" is now normative for the media as they recast efforts to defend and promote marriage as opposing "marriage equality". This effort to force equivalency between homosexual unions and marriage has gained ground through a sophisticated, intelligent, well funded and multi-faceted effort. The goal is clear - the total re-ordering of civil society in a cultural revolution.
They are led by groups with noble sounding names like the "Human Rights Campaign" and "Marriage Equality USA". Both are well funded and dedicated to convincing the public that there is a "new-right" to not only engage in homosexual sexual practices and live together, which has always existed in societies, but to have that lifestyle given an equivalent legal status to marriage which is then enforced by the police power of the State.
There is a growing misuse of the Police Power to enforce these counterfeit "new-rights" with an iron hand. It is ominous. There is a propaganda effort aimed at those who insist on the existence of a Natural Law. They are dismissed as taking a "religious" position which should be censored, or at least confined to the four walls of a Church. This sophistry is used to confuse people concerning the reasonableness of the Natural Law position.
As we approach the coming Presidential election we must ask where these two candidates stand on human rights and where they think such rights come from. Are they conferred by the government and subject to change? Or, are they endowed by a Creator and inalienable? Here we need to remove beyond the rhetoric and look to their positions. What do these candidates mean when they use the word rights? Are they speaking of true rights or "new-rights".
This has serious implications on how the next person to occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue will govern on many fronts. One aspect of that governance, one which is not being discussed mush, is the next President's choice of as many as four future Supreme Court Justices. There are four Justices who in their seventies, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer.
The Anti-Right to Life decisions of Roe and Doe are perennial reminders of why the choice of Supreme Court Justices matters. This is one of the most important aspects of the power of the Presidency. The majority opinion in Roe and Doe reached into what that Court called the "penumbra" of the Constitution and manufactured a "new-right", producing an indefensible judicial holding and unleashing license masquerading as liberty.
By Judicial Fiat the Roe Court "removed" the Right to Life from millions of our fellow human persons and first neighbors in the first home of the womb. They placed the Police Power of the State behind protecting their killers. Roe was grounded in faulty history, relied upon disproven junk "science" and rejected both the Natural Law and the Equal protection Clause of the US Constitution.
The current Supreme Court has marriage, the role of parents in the education of their children, religious and economic liberty - and many other matters which could determine the future of freedom on its docket. This fact alone should bring every Pro-Life, Family and Freedom American to the ballot box on November 6, 2012. 'New-Rights' and the Future of Authentic Human Rights Is On the Ballot. Don't buy the nonsense that this election doesn't matter. It does - and we are responsible for our choice.

Deacon Fournier thanks for referring me to this article; it is far superior to the articles on Election Countdown. Rob's comment on this article is an important one. Catholic Social Doctrine, with its emphasis on Natural Law, is the guide for Catholics to enter into dialogue with others. The problem, Catholics say Natural Law is knowable by reasonable people, but it is not known or agreed upon by the majority of the world's population. Although Jesus was Asian, half the population of the world that is Asian does not understand Natural Law in the western philosophical tradition. Like it or not most people living in the Europe and the United States also do not understand Natural Law as the Catholic Social Doctrine states it. Making arguments from authority as Catholics does not help. What will help is living as St Francis of Assisi did. He did everything he could to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. People were attracted to Jesus because of his living witness. How do we get to a place where because of the way we Catholics lives, others will say see how they love one another and desire to follow the one savior of all human persons?

Deacon, great article. Thanks for pointing out the always 'over looked' fact when we elect a president we are in effect electing the judiciary. I hope many Catholics are reading Catholic Online. I read in another Catholic News site that posted a Pew Poll showing that a majority of Catholics are for Obama. The Obama Catholics where I live are oblivious to what is happening with the HHS Mandate. Once again there is a good reason for it. Nothing is said about it from the pulpit.

Kasoy, I don't disagree with you. But at some point I think we are going to have to seriously take a look at where this has gotten us. Every election cycle it's the same old thing. Vote the boogey man out so we can reverse all these bad laws. But no matter what happens all this crap remains. And even when you put folks in that you think will rule a certain way, sometimes they don't.
We focus so much on the government and what it's doing and I think for a lot of folks that gives them a pass on real person to person evangelization. No one has ever been converted by having something shoved down their throat. We people of faith are not becoming more secular merely because our society is (or are we?). And vice versa, those who don't believe are not going to do so because we happen to block a law etc. In fact I think given the nature of the discourse half the time, I think we actually cause more harm than good.
Today I was listening to a former GOP governor from CO basically dismiss the abortion issue as a wedge issue only that nothing has been done on for 30 years. He stated that it was a constitutional right and basically that it's old news. It is precisely this mentality that assures nothing will ever be done unless we turn up the heat on the pro-life legislators. -

Comment: True Catholics should seriously consider this major issue. This is probably the MOST IMPORTANT reason why we should vote out Obama and the Democrats.

Emergency workers wheel a patient into the emergency room at Bon Secours Hospital. (Amy Davis, Baltimore Sun / February 6, 2013) |
These illnesses will kill many of them and complications will disable others who may end up in wheelchairs or have limbs amputated because they didn't get the proper medical care.
This is the evidence the West Baltimore Primary Care Access Collaborative, a coalition of 16 hospitals and nonprofit organizations, gave state health officials as they sought to join a state program that provides financial incentives in an effort to curb health disparities in the state through the creation of special zones.
The argument was convincing. The coalition, made up of organizations that encompass some of the city's most impoverished neighborhoods, was one of five groups chosen by the state last month to create a health enterprise zone.
Maryland officials plan to allocate $4 million annually over the next four years to fund the zones. Each zone gets a pot of money that they can use to attract doctors, build clinics, buy buses to transport residents to the doctor and come up with other ways to better treat people with health problems.
The idea for the zones comes from a tool economic development officials have used for years to attract businesses by offering tax incentives for those that open in a certain area. The health zones can use the money to provide incentives such as loan repayment to doctors and income tax credits to lure medical talent.
Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, who has led the charge for the initiative, said that studies and statistics have documented health disparities in the state and that the zones, like health care reform, are an attempt to address the problem.
"This is part and parcel of a much larger effort to create a healthier Maryland," Brown said.
The coalition in West Baltimore plans to use the roughly $5 million it expects to receive over four years to curb health problems in four zip codes — 21216, 21217, 21223 and 21229 — that include some of the state's poorest neighborhoods.
Many residents in these neighborhoods don't have insurance, or are on Medicaid or Medicare. They often wait until they are very sick to seek care and end up in the emergency room, where it is costlier to treat them. A dearth of primary care workers in the community also makes it difficult for residents to access basic care.
Bon Secours spokeswoman Judith Carmichael described a current case that is exactly what the coalition hopes to prevent. Two weeks after the hospital first treated a transient man for ulcers on his feet, he showed back up in the emergency room, she said. Now he may face surgery. The condition should have been better managed, the spokeswoman said, but it's not clear what happened after he was discharged the first time.
Under the state program, the West Baltimore coalition hopes to reduce the number of preventable emergency room visits by 15 percent, cut the number of preventable hospitalizations by 10 percent and reduce the costs of caring for residents with cardiovascular disease by 10 percent.
"We want to get people the care they need so we can keep them out of the hospital," said Gregory Kearns, director of strategic management at Bon Secours Hospital in Southwest Baltimore. The hospital is leading the coordination of the enterprise zone for the coalition.
The coalition plans to use the state money to attract 48 primary care doctors and nurse practitioners to the zone by offering $25,000 toward repaying student loans. It also will hire 11 community workers and offer community grants to help put fitness equipment in churches.
"We need to make sure opportunities for fitness are accessible throughout the community," Kearns said.
The West Baltimore Primary Care coalition grew out of a crisis faced by Bon Secours several years ago when the cost of caring for the poor weighed down its finances and closure seemed a real risk. The hospital eventually turned itself around after management changes and with financial help from the state, but its problems focused attention on the lack of health care in the area.
The coalition organized to address that issue and plans to use the enterprise zone money to help fund some of the initiatives it devised.
"This is an area in Baltimore City that has not seen the type of attention it has needed for decades," said Sen. Verna Jones-Rodwell, who helped organize the coalition. "Now we can bring to reality some of the things that we put down on paper and address disparities that are sickening people."
Debbie Rock helps provide services to women and children who live in poverty or have HIV or substance abuse problems in West Baltimore. The executive director of Light Health and Wellness Comprehensive Services said the money from the enterprise zone will help address problems at the grassroots level. Intensive outreach is often the only way to reach troubled communities, she said.

Study: U.S. C-Section Rate Reaches All-Time High
July 19, 2011
© Veer
Feel like you know more and more women who have delivered babies via c-section? You're not mistaken; a new study finds that rates of cesarean section deliveries in the U.S. increased to 34 percent in 2009, an all-time high, reports MSNBC.
The study was performed by HealthGrades, which offers quality and cost information about doctors and hospitals. The researchers examined the rate c-section deliveries of single births from 2002 through 2009 in the 19 states with publicly available health data. During that period, the rate increased from 27 percent to 34 percent. When the U.S. c-section rate was first measured in 1965, it was just 4.5%, they note. As of 2009, the highest c-section rates were found in Florida (38.6%), New Jersey (38.0%) and Texas (35.9%), and the lowest in Utah (22.4%), Wisconsin (25.2%) and Colorado (27.3%).
Plus: Hospital Bans Elective C-Sections & Inductions
"In many cases of C?section in recent years, the benefits may be questionable and important healthcare organizations, including the Joint Commission and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, have endorsed safely reducing C?sections rates in certain types of pregnancies," the study researchers wrote. And the World Health Organization has suggested that the c-section rate should be 15 percent.
Plus: Mentally Preparing for a C-Section
The report lists a number of factors associated with the rise in c-sections:
- Common labor practices that can increase the likelihood of needing a C?section, such as induction of labor or having an epidural early in labor
- Convenience in delivery timing for the provider or the mother
- Increase in maternal age, which increases the risk for complications during pregnancy and delivery
- Increase in maternal risk factors, such as obesity and diabetes
- Increase in number of women who have multiple births (e.g., twins, triplets), sometimes due to the increase in fertility treatments associated with advancing age for first time mothers
- Increasing willingness of physicians to perform C?sections
- Limited understanding by the mother of the potentially serious complications of C?section
- Maternal?requested C?sections
- Physician fear of malpractice claims if they do not perform a C?section
- Established physician practice patterns
"Although C?sections are generally considered safe, it is important to understand that a C-section is still a major surgical procedure that includes serious risks to mothers and babies, including blood clots in the mother and respiratory complications in the newborn," the study authors wrote.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) - Officials at the Brunswick County Health Department say their supplies are running low.
Flu shot season started back in August, according to officials. They had more than 6,000 flu vaccines at that time, but as we head into 2013 the number of flu shots available is shrinking.
Health experts say this year they are seeing a more severe type of flu compared to past years.
Officials say contracting the flu is more than an inconvenience of missing work or school. It can also lead to severe complications and even death.
The US averages about 36,000 deaths caused by the flu. In NC, about 2,000 people die every year.
"The single best way to prevent getting the flu is to get a flu shot," said David Stanley, Health Services Director, "but practicing good health habits is also important."
The health department is currently handing out masks and sanitizers to those who come through the department.
If you do not get a shot, these recommendations may help prevent you from getting sick or spreading the germs:
The Brunswick County Health Department has multiple types of the vaccine available, including "High Dose" for people over the age of 65. They say this is a vaccine that contains four times the antigen of the standard dose and improves the antibody production in older patients.
The Brunswick County Health Department also offers a pediatric vaccine, preservative free vaccine, flu mist and a standard vaccine.
All shots are administered by trained Public Health Nurses and a record of the shot is entered into the North Carolina Immunization Registry for future reference.
No appointment is necessary this year.
Shots are available on a walk-in basis Monday thru Friday from 9 am until 4 pm.
The health department accepts most types of insurance.

Hot answers tagged video-games
I would take another approach, and ask what's the underlying problem that you're trying to solve? That is, why is playing video games a problem? Is it the lack of other physical activities? Is it a concern that they could be learning rather than playing? Is it a concern about the lack of socialization?
I was definitely into video games in a big way as a ...
Ask him to write you a list of:
things that he likes doing
things he would like to do someday
things he has seen on television that he would like to learn more about
things he would like to do with you alone
things he would like to do with his other parent and/or siblings
Then see what you can do to help get him the information, tools, and time to do ...
YES! Not only is it reasonable, it is IMHO parental malpractice not to limit video games, the internet, and telephone usage.
Clearly, the video games have tremendous value to him. Among other things, that gives you powerful leverage! Use it well.
My practice with video games, movies, texting, and any other similar amusement was:
A daily limit is ...
My suggestions are:
Check out your local community college pre-teen and kids' non-credit courses. Sit down with your daughter to see if any spark her interest.
Check out your park district classes. See if any interest her.
Check out your local library; ours has monthly anime/manga fan meetups and people come in routinely to teach how to draw in various ...
The American Association of Pediatrics suggests 1-2 hours of all screen time--regardless of content. The following link sites some of the effects it can have: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/children-and-tv/MY00522
Also, beginning more than 1-2 hours of screen time at age 3 makes it more difficult to limit it when they are older-as it becomes something ...
LEGO! There never was any cooler toy :-)
It comes in so many varieties that there's something for him regardless if he fancies technics, cartoon robots, pirates, movie heroes, whatever.
Plus, if your son insists on computer interaction, then go with LEGO Mindstorm (which lets him build a machine that must be programmed on the computer before it will run).
Well, my experience is different (up to now), as our son, who is "only" nearly 4 years old,
does not have access to TV or video games etc. yet and
is very, very interested in spending time with us (his parents)
For older children I wonder:
What about the parents, you're talking about? Do they really want to spend more time with their children?
Many ...
You should definitely focus on providing better alternatives. Think about activities involving whole family, like playing boardgames, hiking, some sports, etc.
Also what kind of computer games does he play? Try to show him strategy games, like Starcraft, Civilization, Total War series (if he's old enough), or quality puzzle games, like World of Goo, Cogs, ...
Smartphones are part of the environment these days, and just like lacking basic computer skills now can be a handicap to many careers lacking familiarity with operating touchscreen devices could easily be a future handicap.
Personally, I allow and even occasionally encourage my 4 year old to play games on my phone. We're in the range of brief daily usage ...
are there any peer reviewed studies showing the benefits of video games for kids (especially girls)?
A recent study by a group of researchers from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden claims that gamers not only learn to cooperate but also to understand complex contexts, understand how skills can be improved, and think through cause and effect relationships.
They focused on complex games with portrayals of violence and aggressive action where the ...
We addressed the "addiction" part of your question previously, but I wanted to talk about the behavior part. First, you shouldn't expect it to be as easy for your five year-old as it is for your nine year-old. Nine year-olds live a lot less "in the moment" compared to five year-olds, have developed more interests, and have learned more coping strategies ...
Good old fashioned taking the computer away is my first thought. Just be consistent with a time limit. Kids hate never knowing when a parent is going to come in and say it seems like they've been on the computer "long enough." The guarantee of a minimum helps them accept an enforced maximum.
As for what to do instead, kids usually figure that out for ...
It's just like anything else. You set limits and you enforce them. Being a video game enthusiast myself, I wanted to point out a few things you might want to consider in setting those limits.
Some games are very easy to set down at any time, and some aren't. Some games can only be saved at fixed checkpoints. Some have cut scenes that can't be paused or ...
One strategy is to stop buying your child computer games, at least for a while. Once he has completed the games he has, he'll be more open to doing something else, since he has exhausted the games. This is one reason to pre-select which games your child plays as some can be played 'infinitely' (e.g. Farmville) since there isn't necessarily an end.
To fill ...
"Apparently we are the ONLY parents who set limits. Everybody else's
mom and dad lets them play as much as they want. That's what my son

Although I don't claim expertise in the subject, there appear to be two functional sides to the debate between violent behavior and violent video games, with varying amounts of evidence to support either side.
Side saying video games causes aggression
It has been demonstrated in many experimental psychological studies that even brief exposure to violent ...
The child is 7, so the parent should still assert a strong influence on him.
Assuming you are talking about home video games (xbox and such) or handhelp (DS and such):
If the child can play a game and stop after half an hour, I do not think they have a problem.
If they are asked to stop after half an hour and refuse to or throws a tantrum, then there ...
There are a couple of different sub-topics I have found to be the focus of research on video game and computer use by children.
The topic which has received the most attention is violence, particularly the perceived correlation between violent media and violent behavior in those who view violent programming/play violent video games.
As Andy W ...
Avoid watching the television yourself and make the effort to play with/interact with your child. Do things you find fun with them.
That way you become a great role model for the behaviours you want.
If you tend to sit and watch TV without talking, that is exactly what they will end up doing.
Automated parental control.
you define:
X hours a day max
Range for those allowable hours a day (e.g. after 9am before 7pm)
Kids understand the system is automated
No "begging" to parents for "more time". PC cannot be persuaded to stray from protocol
Kids find other things to occupy themselves with
I have teenagers. If you want to de-emphasize gaming, you have to provide a compelling alternative that your child will be satisfied participating in. The bad news is, you are going to have to participate actively as well, which means you have to make time away from work or other commitments to devote to your child. At least until your child is old enough ...
Is he upset because his friend has a different set of rules, or is he upset because he's not allowed to play these video games?
At this age, your son is able to understand that different households have different rules. I would approach it from the standpoint of, "We love Johnny and we love Johnny's parents, but we have different rules in this house than ...
I already mentioned reading together, but really doing anything together as a family should be helpful. Families today are so busy that this rarely happens. The family activity doesn't need to be structured or even necessarily constructive--they can be, but unstructured "fun" activities can be just as enriching. Shooting hoops together or doing a service ...
We limit video game time to the weekends (Fri/Sat/Sun). Even so, it was still hard to get our kids to put the controllers down/limit the hours they spent on those days.
I recently instituted a system of rewards so my kids can earn credits they can redeem for Wii time. They can earn one Wii buck for helping around the house during the week, complying with ...
I went and looked at your original question, and it was pretty specific but it was a solid and answerable question. It's unfortunate that it doesn't follow the technical rules of this forum.
What factors make a computer game collaborative?
Specifically, for cooperative factors in games, you should look for games that disregard individualism, and for ...
I thought I'd expand my comment into an answer:
Whether or not media is considered educational is a bit of a red herring. If a kid is going to watch TV or play a game, yes, it might as well be educational, but the fact that it is educational isn't going to change whether or not it's a good idea to be doing that activity for extended periods of time.
The ...
I agree that once you get past a certain point, content is irrelevant and that 5 hours of edu games has less to do with the content and everything to do with the lack of varied activity for a 3 yr old. i think even 2 hrs at a crack is too long, and i'm a pretty big tech advocate.
Now here's something that hasn't been mentioned... I'll bet that if she's ...
are there any peer reviewed studies showing the benefits of video games for kids (especially girls)?
The most important thing to remember is that games are often very social activities, especially at that age and at this time. Even single-player games are played "with" people, in the sense of discussing them, watching someone else play them, talking about them. With MMO's, this problem is doubled. One important thing about a lot of studies is that the ...
The main feedback I can provide here is to model the behavior you want to see in your child. If your child sees you playing video games a lot, they'll see it as acceptable behavior and try to copy it. Note - even if you don't play video games a lot, it's what they see and remember that leaves an impression as well.
Video games can be "easier" for younger ...
I think everyone's definition of 'reasonable' will be different--not to mention every child's situation would be different.
I think as a general rule, the best would be:
Is the amount of time playing video games interfering with the child's other important life tasks? If so, add a limit to lessen the amount of time they are playing.

I am reading anything and everything on the Lockout, so here is an interesting take from a former lawyer who thinks there will be a full season. Not as optimistic for the players. I am only hoping that he is right about a full season. "Here is why I think we will have a season — a full season. Most of the owners and most of the players want to settle, and the makings of a deal are there. The owners want to have the 2011 season, but they lose much less than the players do if the season is canceled. They can more easily bear the financial losses and outrage from the fans — after all, the fans don't much like the owners in the best of times; their passion is about the players. So the owners might as well drive as hard a bargain as they can if this season is lost. By contrast, the players have a short window for making the kind of money they make (just ask Plaxico Burress, released from prison after 20 months today). If this season is lost, there's no guarantee there will be a 2012 season either — if the owners' position hardens, careers will be ended prematurely (see, e.g., Plaxico, supra), opportunities for off-field earnings will be slashed … and the owners have much more wherewithal to stick out protracted litigation over these matters than do the players. The players of today make lots of money from the pot of gold as it exists now, and they don't need to worry about future income streams — most will not be around anymore by the time those kick in. They will want to preserve as much as they can of what they have now. The settlement premium they can get from the owners lies in making a deal that saves this season — the owners will almost surely be happy to pay something extra for that, as long as it happens soon. The premium diminishes as weeks of the season start being canceled."
I know it is the Bleacher Report but I thought it gave a good overview and history of the Labor Dispute. The author is actually a sports radio guy. It also has extensive footnotes. Give it a look.

Double Platinum (1999)
directed by
Robert Allan Ackerman
Diana Ross, Brandy, Allen Payne, Christine Ebersole, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Roger Rees, Samantha Brown, Ed Lover
Two generations of R&B superstars -- legendary Motown diva Diana Ross and teen hitmaker (and star of the TV series Moesha) Brandy -- share top billing in this made-for-TV drama about the troubled relationship between a mother and daughter. Olivia King (played by Diana Ross) is an aspiring vocalist who gives up her only child in the pursuit of her career. Years later, Olivia is a major star in pop music, and the daughter she left behind, Kayla (Brandy), is a gifted young singer on the rise. Can Olivia win back the daughter she left behind years ago, and can Kayla find it in her heart to forgive her mother? The supporting cast includes Allen Payne, Christine Ebersole and former Yo! MTV Raps host Ed Lover. Produced for ABC Television, Double Platinum was first aired in May of 1999, and was released on home video two months later. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Hide synopsis

McCLURE - A Decatur Township man is in critical condition, according to a nursing supervisor at Lehigh Valley Hospital, after an incident involving a propane tank caused an explosion just before noon on Tuesday inside his garage in Decatur Township.
Fire Investigator Mike Force said Harry Bleyer, of 4116 U.S. 522, suffered second or third degree burns over 70 to 80 percent of his body. Force said Bleyer was taken to the Decatur Fire Co. grounds via a Fame EMS ambulance, where a medical helicopter landed to transport him to Lehigh Valley Hospital.
"It appears that Mr. Bleyer was trying to remove a valve from a propane cylinder," Force said.

A firefighter observes the shell of a garage where a propane tank explosion injured Harry Bleyer Tuesday, in Decatur Township, Fire Investigator Mike Force said.
Bleyer is a scrap-hauler and had several cylinders in the garage, Force said, but propane cylinders cannot be sold as scrap if they still have valves in them. In order to remove the valves, the tanks must be completely empty. In this case, Force said the cylinder was not completely empty, and an "explosion and flash fire ensued."
"The garage was closed up," Force said. "The force of the explosion blew the overhead door off the building, blew off the man door and caused (one) side of the garage to buckle out about eight inches."
Bleyer ran out of the garage and was assisted by neighbor Kathy Nace, Force said.
Force said the ignition source has not yet been identified and the fire is under investigation.
Decatur Fire Co. also was assisted at the scene by East Derry, Yeagertown, Junction, Granville and West Granville fire companies, Highland Park and Brooklyn hose companies, United Fire and Rescue and City Hook and Ladder.

Wrong brushes for my motor
by Linda L - Woodstock, Illinois
September 15, 2011
Your description of this brush kit says that it will work on 7.5 HP Mercury Motor with serial numberxxxxxx and beyond. The serial number of my motor is 6507461 which is higher than your listed number....the brush kit does not fit. I sent it back but have not yet received credit. Product may be ok but not for my motor

This image, taken Jan. 4, 1998, shows Saturn's reflected infrared light. The blue colors indicate a clear atmosphere down to a main cloud layer. The green and yellow colors indicate a haze above the main cloud layer. The red and orange colors indicate clouds reaching up high into the atmosphere.
Two of Saturn's satellites are also seen — Dione on the lower left and Tethys on the upper right. They appear in different colors, yellow and green, indicating different conditions on their icy surfaces.
