The Change to Parent For
Your child understands the value of honesty and effort and adopts those virtues in her daily behavior
Question: "Last night my twelve-year-old son showed me the A on his math test. I was really proud of him, figuring he had studied so hard. Then I noticed that he'd printed the answers on his hand. When I confronted him, he said that everybody else was doing the same thing and that it's no big deal so I shouldn't get so work up about it. Well, I happen to think it is a big deal—he cheated! So now what?"
Answer: My strongest piece of advice to parents on cheating is often the hardest one for them to follow through on: if you catch your kid cheating, don't let him take the good grade, blame his school, or excuse it as "something everyone else does." Instead, call the teacher and make your kid face the consequences. The short-term pain will be worth the long-term benefit to his character. Believe me, that one lesson is far more memorable and powerful than all the lectures and punishments. Let your child know you are serious about being honest, and then back up your words with your actions.
Why Change?
Concerned about your kid cheating? Well, you are not alone. Data clearly confirm that cheating is on the rise. Since 1969, the percentage of high school students who admitted to cheating on a test increased from 34 percent to 68 percent.5 The 2002 Ethics of American Youth survey discovered that three of four high school students admitted to cheating on at least one test during the previous year, and 37 percent admitted they would lie to perspective employers in order to get a good job.6 Cheating in school has also reached sophisticated new levels. Gone are the days when students tucked meticulously written crib notes inside their pants legs and coughed specially designed codes to peers. Pagers and cell phone text messages instantly transmit test answers without the hassle of note passing (and getting caught!). Plagiarism from the Internet has become so rampant that many teachers have to rely on a specially designed Web site to scan their students' papers to validate originality.
Make no mistake: cheating goes against the grain of integrity and solid character. After all, cheaters aren't concerned about whether their conduct was fair or how it affected others. Usually their biggest fret is worrying about whether they will get caught. Cheating is all about cutting corners and taking the easy way out. The good news is that parents do play a significant role in nurturing the virtues of honesty, integrity, and accountability in their kids. Let's just make sure we use that role wisely so that our kids do turn out right and this epidemic of cheating is stopped.
Late-Breaking News
Watch Out for Organized Sports!
Those sports teams we hope are helping our kids become better people may not be doing the job. A two-year study of 5,275 high school athletes by the Los Angeles–based Josephson Institute of Ethics found rather shocking results.7 Two-thirds of the athletes confessed to cheating on a test at least once in the previous school year (compared with 60 percent of the rest of the student population). Boys cheated more, and football players were the worst. Most also felt that it was okay for their coach to teach them ways to cut corners and cheat so that the referees couldn't detect their illegal moves and their team would have a better chance of winning. Another study found that hockey coaches in particular encouraged aggressive, bully-like behavior in the players and taught kids to challenge a referee's call if they were losing the game. The lesson here: don't just drop your kid off at practice without turning up your honesty radar and tuning in to what the coach is emphasizing. And while you're at it, make sure your own expectations for your child emphasize honesty, fairness, and teamwork and not a win-at-any-cost (including cheating) mentality.
Signs and Symptoms
Here are possible signs of cheating in kids. Of course, there always could be another explanation, so listen, but keep a watchful eye on your child.
- Your child has no test recall. She can't tell you what questions were on the test from that morning.
- There's a discrepancy between homework and grades. Your child does little studying but receives exemplary marks; she performs poorly on in-class assignments but does superior work on homework assignments.
- Your child nevver seeks help for schoolwork. She brings home little or no homework, claiming that she finished it already or that teacher doesn't give it. Might be cutting corners and not doing the work. (Of course, she also may be brilliant, or the work is far too easy. Find out the facts.)
- The teacher reports your child cheating. Don't be too quick to dismiss an adult's complaint.
- Your child can't explain content. She has no understanding of the details in the paper she "wrote."
- The work is just not her style. Uses words that are too sophisticated and that she can't define; there's a large disparity between the child's writing style and the paper: this just isn't your child's writing.
- Your child can't locate resources. She's unable to find or describe the resources used for the report.
- Your child is reluctant to show you her work. She hides her work or doesn't want you to read it.
The Solution
Step 1. Early Intervention
- Identify the reason. Reflect on why your kid might be cheating (or thinking she should be allowed to get away it) so that you can create the best solutions. The following is a list of common reasons. Check those that apply to your child or situation:
- Is overscheduled and overwhelmed, leaving not enough study time
- Fears failing; is perfectionistic, insecure about abilities; hates to lose, appear to be a loser, or fail in front of others
- Is incapable of doing the work, struggling to keep up; has a learning disability; academic expectations are set too high
- Fears getting in trouble or punished for poor grades
- Doesn't want to disappoint you; cheats to get the grade to make parents happy
- Is taking the easy way out, cutting corners by not studying or putting out the effort
- Has an "Everyone else does it" attitude; cheating is rampant, putting your kid at an unfair disadvantage if she does not cheat; cheating is easy to get away with; no one holds her or other students accountable
- Is bullied or caving into pressure from another student to give her homework or answers
- Doesn't understand that cheating is wrong; honesty has never been emphasized
- Has poor study skills, or doesn't know how to write that paper
- Don't ignore reality. Don McCabe, a professor at Rutgers University, studied cheating over two decades. He found that 64 percent of twelve- and thirteen-year-olds admitted they "collaborated" with other students when they were supposed to be working alone; 48 percent confessed they copied homework from someone else, and 87 percent said they had let someone else copy their homework.8
- Don't take a "not my kid" attitude—recognize that cheating is rampant. Open up the dialogue with your kid and acknowledge the pressure: "I know you're worried about your grades, and cheating must be enticing, but it's still not right." You can let your child know you're aware of her stress, but she needs to get the message that cheating isn't acceptable. This is also an opportunity to assess if your child feels too overwhelmed; perhaps something needs to give to relieve that pressure. Is there one activity your child can give up?
- Be an example. Your kids need to know that everyone is tempted to cheat, but honesty and hard work are always the better policy. Refrain from telling your kids how you cheated on your taxes or in your tennis game, or exaggerated a bit on your resume. Your child will interpret those actions as signs that cheating is acceptable. Make sure your example stresses the values you want your kids to copy.
- Step back! A study by Public Agenda found that one in five adults say they've done part of a child's homework assignment and think doing so is fair.9 Halt that urge to do—or redo—your kid's homework. Half of middle school kids think the practice is wrong.10 Those everyday little behaviors you do send moral messages to your kids.
- Emphasize effort. The biggest reason kids cheat is to get a better grade. So switch your emphasis to the effort she puts into her practice, chore, or report instead of offering a reward simply for a good grade. Recognize your child for working hard and maintaining positive study habits. Rewarding effort has long-term benefits: the child understands that success is the result of effort and honesty and that the process of learning is as enjoyable as its result.
- Get savvy about the Internet. A growing number of Web sites such as Schoolsucks.com provide free term papers on any subject; other sites offer them for a fee. One study found that almost half of all kids engage in "cut-and-paste plagiarism," and most parents are clueless.11 So monitor your child's online experience. Keep the computer in a central place and track the sites your child is visiting. Watch your credit card for any unexplained Web site costs. And if your child does write a report, read it! Check the vocabulary; if her word choice is too sophisticated, it's a possible red flag. Ask her to define the words as well as show you her sources (books, encyclopedias). If she can't provide them or describe the topic without the paper, chances are she cheated.
- Discuss the cons of cheating. Thirty-four percent of parents don't talk to their kids about cheating because they believe their child would never cheat.12 Don't make that mistake! Talk to your kid about the negative results of cheating. Here are a few important points to cover:
What is your best guess as to why your kid cheats? Is there one thing you can do to change this behavior?
Cheating can get you in serious trouble: probation, suspension, expulsion, or even criminal penalties, such as fines, tickets, and incarceration.
People won't trust you, and you get a bad reputation. No one will want to be your friend or do business with you.
It can become a habit, and you can reach the point where you feel you can't do anything without cheating both among your friends and in school.
It hurts other people and isn't fair to other students or people who play fair and stick to the rules.
If you get away with cheating, you can find yourself in a situation you are completely unqualified and unable to handle. Not only will you be in over your head, but you'll also know in your heart that you're a fraud.
If you don't learn the work now, you'll have even more trouble at the next grade level.
Please don't make the mistake of thinking that a one-time talk on such a serious subject will convince your kid that honesty really is the best policy. State your views over and over and look for teachable day-to-day moments to review why cheating is wrong.

Knife is a difficult weapon to find in GTA: SA. Usually it can be found on prostitutes near CJ's home or during a mission when CJ needs to steal Madd Dogg's rhyme book. More than just a simple melee weapon, if CJ sneaks behind someone and they don't notice him, he will execute a stealth kill, slitting the victim's throat. Useful when the player is trying to avoid detection and doesn't have a silened 9mm.

The Green Team
For Vice Presidents of Education re: Green Team Through Community Outreach
Several years ago, the National Hadassah Organization requested that the Regions, followed by the chapters develop a program devoted to conservation of our environment. Under the tutelage of past Regional president, Myrna Rodkin, the Green Team was initiated.
To date the regional group has held many events: 3 Tu B'Shevat celebrations, nature walk at Green Cay, Sunset Reflections, brunch and tour of Loxachatchee National Wildlife Preserve, a wildlife and nature art contest, and much more.
We NEED more representation from the chapters. We meet monthly at the Regional Office in Delray.
Could you recruit somebody from your chapter to join us? We are looking to develop small and simple programs that chapters can carry out.
We also have a program of about 35-40 minutes that is available to all chapters to use for a chapter program

Before I start... I apologize for the language!
My f#%king ex boyfriend, James, broke up with me over facebook. This is exact message I received.
Ok I hate telling you this at the time that you are having but my ex wife and I are working things out and are getting back together. I love the time we had together but we live too far away and you are twice as pushy a woman as I have ever seen or met. I hope you find everything you are looking for and I hope you understand that this is not just about me or you or her. It's mainly about the kids that I have. I'm very sorry! And hope you understand.
So being a woman that I am... I need to vent because I didn't and I am not planning on responding to such an asshole!
When we had our first date I asked him if there was any possibilities that the ex wife and him would get back together.
His responses, "No, I can't trust her. She is a cheat. We were dealing with each other 10 years and it didn't work out."
Next thing, Yes we live a little bit farther that I would like. I thought it was ok for now. If you like someone it shouldn't matter the distant. I was wrong.
PUSHY! Hmmm... how can I be pushy if we only see each other once every 7 to 10 days! PUSHY MY ASS! HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH AN INDEPENDENT WOMAN! F@CK HIM! We had to plan to see each other because we lived so far away! What the F@CK? We both have kids, jobs and responsibilities! Planning is necessary it is not pushy!
Then to end it all...its about the kids! What the f@ck?!!! Was he looking for a babysitter? I am a woman that wants a real relationship! F@ck him. F@ck this!
Yes I am hurt but this was b@llsh!t!
This is my first day back to work. I ended up going to NY over the weekend. It was a horrible trip. On the way it wasn't so bad, however, on the way back it was the worst trip ever.
first: My tire blows
Second: Where my tire blow was very dangerous so I had to call a tow truck.
Third: Got to a garage and they didn't have an exact match for a tire so I had to get a slightly larger width.
Fourth: I couldn't get my car started to get tire fixed so I had to plead for a jump
Fifth: I am back on the road and we stop an hour away to get the kids something to eat and my battery died again.
Sixth: Once I got my car started again everything was peachy until I got to VA where my engine blow. I was stuck at a truck stop at 2:30 am. I was 5 1/2 hours from home with 2 adults (not including myself), 2 children and a caged cat.
Seven: I called everyone I could and the last resort was my parents. I had to hear them bitch to me because I am so irresponsible. Even if the engine blowing was not my fault which I found out once we got home with the car.
That was just the trip. I had issues once I got home. I will probably will be getting bitched at for at least a couple more weeks. One of the only good things besides my best friend actually being here now is that I lost several pounds from being stressed.
To add insult to injury... somehow I got bedbugs! I haven't been anywhere and I dont know how I would have gotten them. My life is so flipping frustrating.
I am so disappointed. Since the weather is so crappy out, my trip to New York is postponed. Instead of seeing Pete and moving my friend down.
I am home for a three day weekend. I tried making plans with James. He has to work.
Honestly... I just want to crawl into bed and cry.
This is the first weekend that I was suppose to be baby free since he was born. I was very much looking forward to it.
My sister had her baby yesterday at 12:11 pm. She is 7 pounds 14.75 oz and 19 inches long. She has brown hair and eyes. After I was told about her having the baby, my amazing boss let me leave early paid to be an Auntie! I was the third person to hold the little one.
What an visit I had!
I am going to the gym after work tonight instead of going to the gym yesterday because of all the excitement. I have to get at least two strength training days in a week. Today will be the only day to do that.
Tomorrow, after work I am going to NY to help my best friend and her family move. Since I will be heading that way anyways I will also stop and see my biological father, Pete. He is in hospice but at least I can see him one last time.
So far...things just have been perfect time. I thank God for it!
Last night, James and I went out to pickup my modular shelving units. I got spend 4 hours with him. I loved it. I sat in the truck and he held my hand.
We talked and talked. I found out that he use to run. He use to play football. He is at his heaviest weight which I think it bothers him a great deal. I don't think he is a big guy. I think he is very handsome.
This is my moment.
I have inspired him to go to the doctor to figure out why he is having pain in this side all the time. He wants to start exercising. I have inspired him to start eating more veggies. The proudest moment is went he told me he went out to lunch yesterday and he only ate half of what he ordered. He started to drink more water as well.
This relationship we have is wonderful. I feel very comfortable discussing my own struggles with weight. Actually, I talk a lot about my goals. What I do. Why I do it. The fact that I am very passionate went I speak about my journey and I can share it with James I think this might make us be even closer.
It was a wonderful night. I cannot wait to really get to know him better. He has a lot of aspirations. For me, that is the biggest turn on ever! I am so happy, blessed and lucky!

More casting news has been revealed on The Lincoln Lawyer , and it's looking like shaping into a pretty solid ensemble.
Following hot on the heels of
last week's announcement that Marisa Tomei is on board
comes the news that Ryan Phillippe and William H Macy have also signed on for the courtroom drama.
Filling out the rest of the supporting cast will be John Leguizamo and Michael Pena, whilst The Take 's Brad Furman will occupy the director's chair previously vacated by Tommy Lee Jones.
Furman will be working with an adapted script from Intolerable Cruelty scribe John Romano, with production tipped to kick-off in July.
All of which suggests the wheels are finally in motion on a project that had been grounded since last year by Jones' decision to jump ship due to those pesky "creative differences".
Lionsgate clearly think its hot property anyway, with the studio announcing it has shelled out for US distribution rights for the Michael Connolly adaptation.
The film stars Matthew McConaughey as a shabby defence attorney working out of the back of his car. A small-time lawyer by trade, he soon finds himself in over his head when he lands the defence of a Beverly Hills playboy (Phillippe?) accused of murder.
Excited by the new cast? Or is the McConaughey factor too much?

Faux Suede Ankle Boots
Average Customer Rating:
(7 out of 10)
After a month having these shoes they have been absolutely great. Though these shoes need to be taken care of well in order to maintain its clean, new look. The shoe is made of Suede which means that this is not advised to wear in rainy/snowy weather although I personally have been through heavy snow and these shoes have suffered minor damage to its Suede texture/color but still looks nice and clean. Awesome shoes, very comfortable due to the "slip on" properties it has. The bands are durable, this shoe is far from cheap. They are great!
The shoes are made of very nice material and are really cool looking. I had to return them because the width is only 3 inches and my foot is NOT that small. I was really upset.

1998 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class CL500 2dr Coupe
The looks never get old. These are well put together, drive like a dream and are huge, particularly on the inside. Plenty of headroom all around for total comfort. With some tweaks they can be made to like the corners, though they are not race toys by any means. Tear and wear repairs are astronomical so please do the car a favor and do not buy it if you cannot afford to keep it up proper. If you value style and comfort along with refinement, this is it. They no longer make them like that. These cars do have personality and you can read them after a while.
the full review
Great car! The body style is classic and sleek. Functionally well designed. Handles extremely well. However as with all Mercedes, the maintenance costs are very high. This car has lots of power options and with time these things will need attention. Purchased used, so my dealer had added some larger wheels and tires. I would not suggest doing this.
the full review
This is my third Benz and the best so far. It is smooth, powerful and feels very safe. When driving often look at other performance luxury cars and ask myself "swap?" The honest answer so far is "no". Long trips are effortless. Fuel comsuption is moderate but I'd rather pay a little more at the pump than pay life insurance that only pay out to my estate. I think I will get my wife one as the price, safety, performance, comfort, and fun equation is unbeatable
the full review
My CL500 is not only a beautiful car, but it handles and performs great! The seats are very comfortable and it has a lot of power - or "git up". Although it is a coupe, the back seat is very large and comfortable. Also it is easy to get in & out of the back seat. Repairs can be expensive, but I have not had to do much - other than change the oil and filters.
the full review
My 1998 Mercedes-Benz CL500 is a gorgeous car
and it drives as nicely as its looks. The faster one
drives, the better it feels. On the highway my fuel
economy is 24mpg+. I had to repair the headlights and it was very
expensive though.

Can I play? I think it'll be really fun!
.................................................. .......................................
siap aku suka inuyasha
fdhdfndfsnmfmnsn sgwhwhw hw w
Could I join, sorry if I suck, I'm new to this website. ^^
Name: Kumori Aika.
Age: Appears: 14, acutally: 106
Gender: Female.
Race:Half Demon cat.
Weapon: A black katana with many powers.
Family: Her older brother who will show up much later, the rest of her family died trying to protect them.
Bio: Naraku was after her, and her brother when they were young. As they strolled through the village Naraku appeared, everyone managed to get away except for her parents. They had been shot with one of Naraku's tenticles, once she finds out Naraku's dead she was somewhat relieved although Kumori didn't get the revenge she was determined to get. She raised herself out on the streets, managing not to get very dirty or sick. After all theres not much you can do when you're, only 6 years old. She'd cry herself to sleep everynight, until she got older, she grew stronger. Well, the only thing that weakened, was her emotions, and her lungs. She'd have coughing fits every now and then, but it never got to bad. Not many people take her seriously, because of her being a half demon. But this doesn't bother her, she likes who she is and is glad she isn't a dog. She never liked dogs, they always picked on her. For some reason, when she was 12 years old. She had been travleing through the far north side of Inuyasha's land and came across some penguins. Strangely enough, she took one home and named it. Ridiculous I know, but, it felt calm to have someone-ermm something to talk to. For years she studied forgeign lands, and hopes to make friends with others, even though she's rather quiet she doesn't speak up much. It's the affect from the fight with Naraku, and the fact her brother is away most the time. Now she wants to take over Inuyasha's land, so she can prove that she wasn't just some weak half demon.
Personality: Shy, quiet, intelligent, fiesty, cocky, mature, somewhat annoying, a little to depressed, strong, powerful, friendly, defensive, protective, and kinda lonely.
Appearence: about 5'4", weighs around 103 lbs. Medium length silver hair, black cat ears, and a tail to match. Wears a blue outfit that's easy to fight in, but still tells people she's polite, and won't harm them unless you mess with her. Her trusty companion always at her side, sparkly dark blue eyes, with a hint of a very light blue in her hair. A black case for her katana hanging to her back, a small black ribbon ties around her bangs to keep them to the side. Has a necklace with a locket, inside is a picture of her brother.
This should be fun, I'm looking foward to it. ^^ I sure do hope I make friends on this website.
When words fail to be heard, music speaks to be heard.
I would like to join so here is my character
Name:Kirmoi Ranku
Age: Almost 1,000 years old, he appears to be early twenties
Gender: Male
Race: Dragon Demon
Weapon: He usualy uses his dragon claws or dragon breath but when he is around demon or dragon haters he then finds what he can to fight with.
No family
Bio: Kirmoi is almost never talks, but when he does eveyone shuts-up and listens he doesn't know why it just happens. Despite being a full demon he protects the humans even though he has an urge to kill them for not being able to protect themselves but he fights the urge and ignores. Once he came across Naraku but he had no interest in proving his power to the half demon but still Naraku attacked but when he saw Kirmoi's true form he stoppend dead in his tracks, paralyzed with utter fear that he was out of his league but then Kirmoi transformed back and walked away. Thar was the first and last time he saw Naraku after that, he continued to protect the humans from demons and half demons that threatned them. He travels alone exploring both Inuyasha's land as well as Sesshomaru's helping in anyway he can. He also has powers in controlling lightning and darkness as well as crossing the two.
Personality: Determined, Calm, Confident, and is Extremely difficult to get surprised.
Appearance: In human form he is 6'5", In demon form he is 50' 2" tall, Human he has black hair and black eyes, Same for his demon form, He is very muscular so when he lifts a tree to fight a demon, people can actually believe it he mainly wears samari armor but with out the sword.
[FONT=Garamond]No matter what you call it, it is still Chaos, And it is apart of everyone regardless if want it there or not.

race:half human half demon
Weapon:Special katana passed down by his family for generations

The teenage winger joined Portsmouth on a month's loan from Reading on Tuesday and started the League One encounter at Colchester on the bench.
He made an almost immediate impact after being introduced on 84 minutes by earning Pompey a 2-2 draw and he is looking forward to the chance to play first-team football.
"You can learn something from every squad that you play in and there are some fantastic players here," Obita told Portsmouth's official website.
"I found out about this loan a couple of weeks ago and I'm glad we could get it sorted. I didn't have to think twice - it's Portsmouth. This is a great club."
Obita had loan spells at Barnet and Gillingham last season, and Pompey boss Michael Appleton is happy to have brought in the 18-year-old.
Appleton said: "He can play in numerous positions and is a quick lad. He's really lively and will add a youthful edge to our side.
"He's very highly thought of at Reading and there have been a few clubs wanting to take him on loan."

Kodak Alleges Patent Infringement Against Apple, HTC
Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) announced today that it has filed lawsuits against Apple Inc. and HTC Corporation, alleging the infringement of certain Kodak patents relating to digital imaging technology.
A complaint filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) specifically claims that certain of Apple's iPhones, iPads, and iPods, and certain of HTC's smartphones and tablets infringe Kodak patents that relate to technology for transmitting images. Kodak also alleges that certain of HTC's smartphones infringe a patent that covers technology related to a method for previewing images which is already the subject of pending actions against Apple. Separately, Kodak filed suits today against Apple and HTC in U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York alleging the same infringement.
"As we have stated before, Kodak is the leader in digital imaging innovation and we have invested hundreds of millions of dollars creating our pioneering patent portfolio," said Laura G. Quatela, President and Chief Operating Officer, Eastman Kodak Company. "We've had numerous discussions with both companies in an attempt to resolve this issue, and we have not been able to reach a satisfactory agreement."
"Our primary interest is not to disrupt the availability of any product but to obtain fair compensation for the unauthorized use of our technology," Quatela said. "There's a basic issue of fairness that needs to be addressed. The failure of companies to appropriately compensate Kodak for the unauthorized use of our patented technology impedes our ability to continue to innovate and introduce new products."Kodak has licensed patents related to digital imaging technology to more than 30 companies, including such leading mobile-device companies as LG, Motorola, Samsung and Nokia, all of which are royalty bearing to Kodak. In the complaint against Apple and HTC, Kodak is seeking from the ITC an exclusion order preventing the importation of infringing devices, including mobile telephones and wireless communication devices featuring digital cameras. In the suits against Apple and HTC in U.S. District Court, Kodak alleges infringement of the same patents and is seeking to permanently enjoin Apple and HTC from further infringement, as well as the recovery of damages.
