Looking to get a bit of a feel for opinion out there over a difference of opinion between my partner and I.
Our 7 & 1/2 year old daughter left her cardigan at school (for the upteenth time) on thursday. This morning she was getting ready for school and could not find a replacement cardigan. I want to, as much as possible, make her responsible for her own actions so I explained to her it was cold outside and was really looking for her to
She said she did not have another school cardigan clean (which is not true but she couldnt find it at the time) and that 'Miss' wouldnt want her in a non-school cardigan. I left her to it thinking that I want to teach her responsibility for the cardigan so it should be her that faces the choice of 1. going to school in non-school uniform and facing the teacher's ire, 2. Taking the time to find the other cardigan, 3. getting cold on the way to school.
Now - For clarity, the temperature IS cold outside. It is above freezing but only just. With that said she had a winter coat, tights, vest, school polo shirt, school pinafore, etc, on. To my mind she may 'feel' cold without the cardigan but we are not talking 'dangerous' or illness-inducing by ANY stretch of the imagination! (correct me if i am wrong!)
My partner, however, vehemently disagrees with my decision. My partners view is that it was too cold to have her go outside without the cardigan regardless of the circumstances and that it was my responsibility to enforce this.
It is important the parent convey the lesson to the child that they must take initiative and learn to think for themselves. Teaching values to children is an important part of a parent's responsibility. But in situation like yours, you must not send your child outside without cardigan in this cold weather. She may fall ill.
Teaching responsibility for choice is an ongoing issue. We all have to account for our choices in ways we choose or ways other's choose FOR us. I agree that at the age your child is and the whether situation, she must have something to keep her warm. However, the accountability factor could be such that "because you didn't take the time to prepare your clothes in advance, I will give you an alternative choice: You may wear this jacket today, but when you get home, I will need you to give me 30 minutes of extra study time." That way she learns there are always consequences. Teaching honor,integrity and taking responsibility for choice is difficult to teach consistently because we want to solve their problems. BUT I learned of a great parenting program that seems to come with a built-in consistency factor and helps the parent teach just about any kind of behavior, social skill, and responsibility easily. It is called: The Happy Face Token System. You get step-by-step tips on how to set family rules and create accountabilty in ways the child understands. It helps the parent take charge in a positive and effective way that shows they mean what they say and the child learns self-motivation and wants to find ways to improve skills, talents and family relationships. This family program is made for those looking to find JOY in the JOurney of parenthood with all kinds of ideas, charts and concepts. Maybe something will click for you here

Teaching responsibility is very important. I think over-coddling children and failing to teach basic principles such as manners, responsibility, empathy, and common decency are current trends contributing to many societal problems. These early lessons make a huge difference later in life in areas including the ability to hold gainful employment, maintain relationships, and general productivity in the community. Many parents seem to take protectiveness to such extremes that the children's emotional and cognitive growth become stunted.
To answer your question, I would probably send her to school in a non-school cardigan to prevent illness. Let her face the teachers' wrath.... She will have to explain what happened and own-up to her (recurring) mistake. This will create some mild cognitive dissonance, which could psychologically motivate her to change her behavior (Unfortunately, it could also work the other way – to stop caring about what the teacher thinks; See http://psychology.about.com/od/cognitivepsychology
Second, I would have her clean her room properly, preferably that night, but at least by the following weekend. Have her do the laundry, or at least pile it together, organize her closets (because she has a spare that she could not find), and begin a routine of preparing her clothes/supplies for the next day the previous night.
This consequence will teach owning-up to your mistakes, help solve the disorganization problem, and help to prevent last minute searches for missing items on the way out the door. Hopefully, this lesson will prevent her from forgetting her cardigan at school in the first place (lest she need to reorganize her room again). Keeping the consequence closely tied to the behavioral problem seems to help the lesson sink in.
I recently had a problem with my five year old "forgetting" her homework. The first couple of times I figured that it was just her age. At least one of those times, the teacher was out sick and she had a substitute teacher. The third time, I saw a troublesome pattern forming. I notified the teacher of the issue and made sure the homework was made-up. I created homework in the area most in need of attention and put her on restriction from screen time for a week. It wasn't about the homework grade, because in kindergarten homework doesn't account for much of the grade. I suspected that after the first two times (Which I do believe were mistakes and mix-ups), she connected "no homework equals more free time, equals more screen time." To prevent an ongoing problem, I took away the motivator and made clear that "forgetting" is not an excuse for not doing the work. She ended up doing more work by forgetting to bring home the original work.
Hope this helps! Good luck on your parenting adventure.
*Edited to correct link
I would keep it simple and as natural as possible. If she actually has a cardigan at school, let her find it ( at school) and put in on at school. If she ends up wearing the same one everyday- so what? If she doesn't care, why should you? She is only 7, not 14. She will care one day, and it will be of her own choice and realization compared to your adult imposed one. That has much better impact in the end, and in the long term. Her learning, is not a race, it's a journey. Work with her. If the school punishes, she doesn't need it twice, she needs your support.

Oscar-winner Renee Zellweger has become one of Hollywood's mainstays over the years. Let's take a look back at her career so far.
One of Zellweger's first film appearances came as an uncredited role in 1993's "Dazed and Confused."
One of her "Dazed" co-stars, Matthew McConaughey, appeared with her in 1994's "The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre," which got new life on video once its stars made it big.
But her big breakout role was opposite Tom Cruise in 1996's "Jerry Maguire" as Dorothy "You Had Me At Hello" Boyd.
Zellweger in September 1998 as she arrives for the premiere of "One True Thing," which co-starred Meryl Streep and William Hurt.
Zellweger poses with Streep during the film's Los Angeles premiere. Zellweger played a young writer who moves home to care for her ailing mother, played by Streep.
Chris O'Donnell pauses on the red carpet with Zellweger at the Nov. 3, 1999, premiere of the duo's movie "The Bachelor."
Zellweger arrives at the premiere of "Man on the Moon" with then-boyfriend Jim Carrey on Dec. 20, 1999.

Zellweger earned her first of three-straight Oscar nominations for 2001's "Bridget Jones's Diary."
Seen here arriving at the Oscars in March 2002, Zellweger lost the Best Actress Oscar that year to Halle Berry for "Monster's Ball."
She would again be nominated at the 2003 Oscars for her role as Roxie Hart in the musical "Chicago," this time losing out to Nicole Kidman in "The Hours."
However, she received other recognition for her work in the Best Picture Oscar winner, including a Golden Globe along with her co-star Richard Gere.
And she also won the award for Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture for her "Chicago" role at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on March 9, 2003.
Zellweger with her "Chicago" co-star Catherine Zeta-Jones during a news conference for "Chicago" at the Berlinale Film Festival in Berlin, Germany, in February 2003.
After two straight Best Actress Oscar nominations, Zellweger received a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her role in 2003's Civil War drama "Cold Mountain."
She went on to not only capture the Golden Globe for the role, as seen here with fellow winner Bill Murray ("Lost in Translation") ...
... but also finally broke through at the Academy Awards, winning her first Oscar on Feb. 29, 2004.

The actress lent her voice to her first big-screen animated film in 2007's "Bee Movie." She's seen here along her co-star Jerry Seinfeld, who also co-wrote and produced the film.
Zellweger tried her hand at Westerns in 2008, receiving good reviews for the role of Allison French in "Appaloosa" alongside Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen.
Zellweger touches her hair at the premiere of "Leatherheads" at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Calif., on March 31, 2008.

The people are corrected, Jerusalem is destroyed. (1-11) The captives suffer in a foreign land. (12-22) God's loving-kindness, He threatens the enemies of his people. (23-26)
Verses 1-11 Jeremiah wept much, yet wished he could weep more, that he might rouse the people to a due sense of the hand of God. But even the desert, without communion with God, through Christ Jesus, and the influences of the Holy Spirit, must be a place for temptation and evil; while, with these blessings, we may live in holiness in crowded cities. The people accustomed their tongues to lies. So false were they, that a brother could not be trusted. In trading and bargaining they said any thing for their own advantage, though they knew it to be false. But God marked their sin. Where no knowledge of God is, what good can be expected? He has many ways of turning a fruitful land into barrenness for the wickedness of those that dwell therein.
Verses 12-22 In Zion the voice of joy and praise used to be heard, while the people kept close to God; but sin has altered the sound, it is now the voice of lamentation. Unhumbled hearts lament their calamity, but not their sin, which is the cause of it. Let the doors be shut ever so fast, death steals upon us. It enters the palaces of princes and great men, though stately, strongly built, and guarded. Nor are those more safe that are abroad; death cuts off even the children from without, and the young men from the streets. Hearken to the word of the Lord, and mourn with godly sorrow. This alone can bring true comfort; and it can turn the heaviest afflictions into precious mercies.
Verses 23-26 In this world of sin and sorrow, ending soon in death and judgement, how foolish for men to glory in their knowledge, health, strength, riches, or in any thing which leaves them under the dominion of sin and the wrath of God! and of which an account must hereafter be rendered; it will but increase their misery. Those are the true Israel who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. Let us prize the distinction which comes from God, and will last for ever. Let us seek it diligently.
Jeremiah 9:1-26 . JEREMIAH'S LAMENTATION FOR THE JEWS' SINS AND CONSEQUENT PUNISHMENT.
1. This verse is more fitly joined to the last chapter, as Jeremiah 9:23 in the Hebrew (compare Isaiah 22:4 , Lamentations 2:11 , 3:48 ).
2. lodging-place--a caravanseral for caravans, or companies travelling in the desert, remote from towns. It was a square building enclosing an open court. Though a lonely and often filthy dwelling, Jeremiah would prefer even it to the comforts of Jerusalem, so as to be removed from the pollutions of the capital ( Psalms 55:7 Psalms 55:8 ).
3. bend . . . tongues . . . for lies--that is, with lies as their arrows; they direct lies on their tongue as their bow ( Psalms 64:3 Psalms 64:4 ).
not valiant for . . . truth--( Jeremiah 7:28 ). MAURER translates, "They do not prevail by truth" or faith ( Psalms 12:4 ). Their tongue, not faith, is their weapon.
upon . . . earth--rather, "in the land."
know not me--( Hosea 4:1 ).
4. supplant--literally, "trip up by the heel" ( Hosea 12:3 ).
walk with slanders--( Jeremiah 6:28 ).
5. weary themselves--are at laborious pains to act perversely [MAURER]. Sin is a hard bondage ( Habakkuk 2:13 ).
6. Thine--God addresses Jeremiah, who dwelt in the midst of deceitful men.
refuse to know me--Their ignorance of God is wilful ( Jeremiah 9:3 , Jeremiah 5:4 Jeremiah 5:5 ).
7. melt . . . try them--by sending calamities on them.
for how shall I do--"What else can I do for the sake of the daughter of My people?" [MAURER], ( Isaiah 1:25 , Malachi 3:3 ).
8. tongue . . . arrow shot out--rather, "a murdering arrow" [MAURER] ( Jeremiah 9:3 ).
speaketh peaceably . . . in heart . . . layeth . . . wait--layeth his ambush [HENDERSON], ( Psalms 55:21 ).
9. ( Jeremiah 5:9 Jeremiah 5:29 ).
10. Jeremiah breaks in upon Jehovah's threats of wrath with lamentation for his desolated country.
mountains--once cultivated and fruitful: the hillsides were cultivated in terraces between the rocks.
habitations of . . . wilderness--rather, "the pleasant herbage (literally, 'the choice parts' of any thing) of the pasture plain." The Hebrew for "wilderness" expresses not a barren desert, but an untilled plain, fit for pasture.
burned up--because no one waters them, the inhabitants being all gone.
none can pass through them--much less inhabit them.
fowl--( Jeremiah 4:25 ).
11. And--omit "And." Jehovah here resumes His speech from Jeremiah 9:9 .
12. Rather, "Who is a wise man? (that is, Whosoever has inspired wisdom, 2 Peter 3:15 ); let him understand this (weigh well the evils impending, and the causes of their being sent); and he to whom the mouth of the Lord hath spoken (that is, whosoever is prophetically inspired), let him declare it to his fellow countrymen," if haply they may be roused to repentance, the only hope of safety.
13. Answer to the "for what the land perisheth" ( Jeremiah 9:12 ).
14. ( Jeremiah 7:24 ).
Baalim--plural of Baal, to express his supposed manifold powers.
fathers taught them--( Galatians 1:14 , 1 Peter 1:18 ). We are not to follow the errors of the fathers, but the authority of Scripture and of God [JEROME].
15. feed--( Jeremiah 8:14 , 23:15 , Psalms 80:5 ).
16. nor their fathers have known--alluding to Jeremiah 9:14 , "Their fathers taught them" idolatry; therefore the children shall be scattered to a land which neither their fathers nor they have known.
send a sword after them--Not even in flight shall they be safe.
17. mourning women--hired to heighten lamentation by plaintive cries baring the breast, beating the arms, and suffering the hair to flow dishevelled ( 2 Chronicles 35:25 , Ecclesiastes 12:5 , Matthew 9:23 ).
cunning--skilled in wailing.
18. ( Jeremiah 14:17 ).
19. The cry of "the mourning women."
spoiled--laid waste.
dwellings cast us out--fulfilling Leviticus 18:28 , 20:22 . CALVIN translates, "The enemy have cast down our habitations."
20. Yet--rather, "Only" [HENDERSON]. This particle calls attention to what follows.
teach . . . daughters wailing--The deaths will be so many that there will be a lack of mourning women to bewail them. The mothers, therefore, must teach their daughters the science to supply the want.
21. death . . . windows--The death-inflicting soldiery, finding the doors closed, burst in by the windows.
to cut off . . . children from . . . streets--Death cannot be said to enter the windows to cut off the children in the streets, but to cut them off, so as no more to play in the streets without ( Zechariah 8:5 ).
22. saith the Lord--continuing the thread of discourse from Jeremiah 9:20 .
dung--( Jeremiah 8:2 ).
handful . . . none . . . gather them--implying that the handful has been so trodden as to be not worth even the poor gleaner's effort to gather it. Or the Eastern custom may be referred to: the reaper cuts the grain and is followed by another who gathers it. This grain shall not be worth gathering. How galling to the pride of the Jews to hear that so shall their carcasses be trodden contemptuously under foot!
23. wisdom--political sagacity; as if it could rescue from the impending calamities.
might--military prowess.
24. Nothing but an experimental knowledge of God will save the nation.
understandeth--theoretically; in the intellect.
knoweth--practically: so as to walk in My ways ( Jeremiah 22:16 , Job 22:21 , 1 Corinthians 1:31 ).
loving kindness--God's mercy is put in the first and highest place, because without it we should flee from God in fear and despair.
judgment . . . righteousness--loving-kindness towards the godly; judgment towards the ungodly; righteousness the most perfect fairness in all cases [GROTIUS]. Faithfulness to His promises to preserve the godly, as well as stern execution of judgment on the ungodly, is included in "righteousness."
in the earth--contrary to the dogma of some philosophers, that God does not interfere in terrestrial concerns ( Psalms 58:11 ).
in these . . . I delight--as well in doing them as in seeing them done by others ( Micah 6:8 , 7:18 ).
25. with the uncircumcised--rather, "all that are circumcised in uncircumcision" [HENDERSON]. The Hebrew is an abstract term, not a concrete, as English Version translates, and as the pious "circumcised" is. The nations specified, Egypt, Judah, &c., were outwardly "circumcised," but in heart were "uncircumcised." The heathen nations were defiled, in spite of their literal circumcision, by idolatry. The Jews, with all their glorying in their spiritual privileges, were no better ( Jeremiah 4:4 , Deuteronomy 10:16 , 30:6 , Romans 2:28 Romans 2:29 , Colossians 2:11 ). However, Ezekiel 31:18 , 32:19 , may imply that the Egyptians were uncircumcised; and it is uncertain as to the other nations specified whether they were at that early time circumcised. HERODOTUS says the Egyptians were so; but others think this applies only to the priests and others having a sacred character, not to the mass of the nation; so English Version may be fight ( Romans 2:28 Romans 2:29 ).
26. Egypt--put first to degrade Judah, who, though in privileges above the Gentiles, by unfaithfulness sank below them . . . Egypt, too, was the power in which the Jews were so prone to trust, and by whose instigation they, as well as the other peoples specified, revolted from Babylon.
in the utmost corners--rather, "having the hair shaven (or clipped) in angles," that is, having the beard on the cheek narrowed or cut: a Canaanitish custom, forbidden to the Israelites ( Leviticus 19:27 , 21:5 ). The Arabs are hereby referred to (compare Jeremiah 25:23 , 49:32 ), as the words in apposition show, "that dwell in the wilderness."
uncircumcised . . . uncircumcised in the heart--The addition of "in the heart" in Israel's case marks its greater guilt in proportion to its greater privileges, as compared with the rest.

Notice to Authors: CJPP is now accepting submissions to be published during 2015. As of Jan. 1, 2015, the Journal will transition to an open-access platform provided by the University of California. Thus, new submissions should NOT be submitted to the DeGruyter system, and instead should be sent via email to CJPP Managing Editor Jerry Lubenow, at firstname.lastname@example.com
Aims and Scope
The California Journal of Politics and Policy (CJPP) is an online journal of original scholarship, cutting edge research, and informed commentary regarding all aspects of national, state, and local government, electoral politics, and public policy formation and implementation. As was its late founding editor James Q. Wilson, the Journal's current editors are based in California, Jack Citrin at the University of California, Berkeley, and Bruce Cain and Roger Noll at Stanford. Its editorial board and contributors are leading scholars and professional experts from across the nation and around the world.
Drawing on its editors, its diverse editorial board, and an international network of scholars, practitioners, journalists, policymakers, and officeholders, CJPP provides timely insights and historical and comparative perspective on issues ranging from legislative and electoral concerns to tax and social welfare policy, the courts, campaign finance, and the changing role and character of political media.
The journal welcomes submissions drawn from academic research, as well as general interest articles, essays, book reviews and commentary. CJPP is divided into three sections: Research Articles, Commentary, and Book Reviews.
Research Articles are peer-reviewed articles such as appear in traditional academic journals.
Commentary includes analytical essays designed to bring fresh perspective and thinking to the full range of American politics and policy. These essays may relate to articles in the Research section or address separate topics. These articles are closely edited but not peer-reviewed and address a broader audience than might be reached by traditional academic journals.
Book Reviews alert our readers to important new books on national, state, and local politics and policy.

- Readership:
As a political bellwether and policy innovator, California has long been a testing ground for emerging trends in policy and politics. California provides a lens through which readers can view issues that confront governmental institutions regardless of size or location. Founded by James Q. Wilson, the Journal is edited by Jack Citrin (The Institute of Governmental Studies, University of California, Berkeley), Bruce Cain (The Bill Lane Center for the American West at Stanford), and Roger Noll (The Stanford Center for International Development). Its editorial board includes some of the nation's leading scholars in political science, and it is closely followed by academics, students, journalists, policymakers, and officeholders, as well as informed individuals. CJPP academic articles are widely cited in scholarly research, and quoted in the media. CJPP research findings and commentary have become an integral part of political and policy conversations on blogs and in personal email exchanges and social media. CJPP's research-based findings have influenced the debate on a range of major public issues. A CJPP article on redistricting, for example, was recently cited in a major California State Supreme Court decision on the issue.

Instructions for Authors
Final Manuscript Preparation Guidelines
Please find here details on copyediting, typesetting, and layout requirements pertaining to final manuscript submission to this journal. All manuscripts must have correct formatting to be considered ready for publication.
The EdiKit system has been designed to improve the scholarly publication process for authors. Among the many improvements we offer over traditional journals, the most significant is that we have dramatically shortened the period between the initial submission and the final publication of a peer-reviewed article. Much of this time savings is due to the innovative use of electronic publication. These innovations, however, require certain changes in the way authors need to prepare accepted manuscripts for electronic publication.
De Gruyter does not copyedit manuscripts for this journal until further notice. However, De Gruyter does offer support to authors during the process. Authors are their own copyeditors and typesetters. This means that authors need to pay greater attention to the editing and look of their manuscripts than is typically required by print journals. If you have reasons to doubt your proficiency with respect to spelling, grammar, etc. (e.g., because English is not your native language), then you may wish to employ—at your expense—the services of a professional copyeditor.
Please get in touch with the copyeditors directly to discuss details.

CONTENT and STRUCTURE
- Copyedit your manuscript.
- Do not include a title page or abstract. (Begin the document with the introduction. The title page and abstract will be added to your paper by the EdiKit system.)
- Do not include page numbers, headers, or footers. (The EdiKit system will add the appropriate header with page numbers).
- Do not identify author names in the actual text of your manuscript; all such information is discarded when we receive your submission. To add or edit co-authors, you must use the "revise submission" form.
- Make sure all author and co-author information is complete. Click on "Preview submission" to make sure that all your co-authors' names and affiliations appear correctly.
- Do not include acknowledgments in your manuscript. Instead, enter acknowledgments in the coverpage footnote section on the "revise submission" form, so that they may be incorporated into the title page produced for publication.
- Write your article in English (unless the journal expressly permits non-English submissions).
- Submit your manuscript, including tables, figures, appendices, etc., as a single file (Word, RTF, or PDF files are accepted).
- Use the following document structure (keep in mind that there is no title page):
- Introduction (titling this section is optional)
- Subsequent sections which include all tables, figures, and footnotes referenced in the text
- Appendices (if any)
- References - Include a proper bibliography following the guidelines in the References section below.
- Book reviews must start with the citation of the book at the top of the first page.
LaTeX TEMPLATE
For authors working with LaTeX files, please use the De Gruyter related LaTeX-template. Please download it here. For authors using word processing software such as Word or Word Perfect, please continue to follow the formatting requirements below.
PAGE LAYOUT and SPACING
- Page size must be 8.5 x 11-inches ("letter" size). Do not use A4.
- All margins (left, right, top and bottom) must be 1.5 inches (3.8 cm), including your tables and figures.
- Single space your text.
- Use a single column layout with both left and right margins justified. (Footnotes and references must be both left- and right- justified as well.)
- Indent all paragraphs except those following a section heading.
- An indent should be at least 10 em-spaces.
- Equations, long quotations, theorems, propositions, special remarks, tables, figures, etc. should be set off from the surrounding text by additional space above and below. Otherwise, do not insert an extra space between paragraphs of text.
- Do not "widow" or "orphan" text; make sure that headings are on the same page as the text that follows them, and do not begin a page with the last line of a paragraph. This also applies to titles or notes attached to tables.
- There should be no pages where more than a quarter of the page is empty space, unless it is absolutely impossible to do so.
- All text should be fully justified, left and right (i.e., flush with the left and right margins).
TYPE and SIZE
We cannot accept Type3 fonts. The following is a brief guide to fonts with respect to layout.
- Font:
- Main Body—12 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Equations—12 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Footnotes—10 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Tables, graphs & figures—Text accompanying graphs, figures and tables should be no smaller than 8 pt.
Use Times or the closest comparable font available, except, possibly, where special symbols are needed. If you desire a second font, for instance for headings, use a sans serif font (e.g., Arial or Computer Modern Sans Serif).
- Set the font color to black for the majority of the text. De Gruyter encourages authors to take advantage of the ability to use color in the production of figures, maps, images, and graphs. However, you need to appreciate that this will cause some of your readers problems when they print the document on a black and white printer. For this reason, you are advised to avoid the use of colors in situations where their translation to black and white would render the material illegible or incomprehensible.
- Please ensure that there are no colored mark-ups or comments in the final version, unless they are meant to be part of the final text. (You may need to "accept all changes" in track changes or set your document to "normal" in final markup.)
EMPHASIZED TEXT, TITLES, and FOREIGN TERMS
- To indicate text you wish to emphasize, use italics rather than underlining. The use of color to emphasize text is discouraged.
- Foreign terms should be set in italics rather than underlined.
- Titles of books, movies, etc., should be set in italics rather than underlined.
Headings (e.g., title of sections) should be distinguished from the main body text by their fonts or by using small caps.
- Use the same font face for all headings and indicate the hierarchy by reducing the font size.
- Put space above and below headings. Spacing must be consistent around all headings.
- Be consistent in whether or not you use headline case, or you capitalize the first word and leave the rest in lower-case.
- Footnotes must appear at the bottom of the page on which they are referenced rather than at the end of the paper.
- Footnotes must be in 10 pt. Times or closest comparable font available.
- They must be single spaced, and there must be a footnote separator rule (line).
- Please make sure there is no excess blank space above or below the footnote line divider.
- Footnote numbers or symbols in the text must follow, rather than precede, punctuation.
- Excessively long footnotes are better handled in an appendix.
- All footnotes should be fully justified, left and right (i.e., flush with the left and right margins).
- If figures are included, use high-resolution figures, preferably encoded as encapsulated * PostScript (eps).
- To the extent possible, tables and figures should appear in the document near where they are referenced in the text.
- Large tables or figures should be put on pages by themselves.
- Make sure to use at least 8 pt. font size in tables, figures and graphs.
- Everything must be easily readable when viewed on a computer screen at 100% and when physically printed.
- In no case should tables or figures be in a separate document or file. All tables and figures must fit within 1.5" margins on all sides (top, bottom, left and right) in both portrait and landscape view.
MATHEMATICS and EQUATIONS
- Roman letters used in mathematical expressions as variables must be italicized. Roman letters used as part of multi-letter function names should not be italicized. Subscripts and superscripts must be a smaller font size than the main text.
- Use 12 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Type short mathematical expressions inline.
- Longer expressions must appear as display math, as must expressions using many different levels (e.g., such as fractions).
- Important definitions or concepts can also be set off as display math.
- Number your equations sequentially.
- Insert a blank line before and after each equation.
- Whether equation numbers are on the right or left is the choice of the author(s). However, make sure to be consistent in this.
- Avoid symbols and notation in unusual fonts. This will not only enhance the clarity of the manuscript, but it will also help ensure that it displays correctly on the reader's screen and prints correctly.
- When proofing your document, pay particular attention to the rendering of the mathematics, especially symbols and notation drawn from other-than-standard fonts.
- Within the text of your manuscript, use the author-date method of citation. For instance, "As noted by Smith (1776)."
- When there are two authors, use both last names. For instance, "Edlin and Reichelstein (1996) claim … "
- If there are three or more authors give the last name of the first author and append et al. For instance, a 1987 work by Abel, Baker, and Charley, would be cited as "Abel et al. (1987)."
- If two or more cited works share the same authors and dates, use "a," "b," and so on to distinguish among them. For instance, "Jones (1994b) provides a more general analysis of the model introduced in Example 3 of Jones (1994a)."
- After the first cite in the text using the author-date method, subsequent cites can use just the last names if that would be unambiguous. For example, Edlin and Reichelstein (1996) can be followed by just Edlin and Reichelstein provided no other Edlin and Reichelstein article is referenced; if one is, then the date must always be attached.
- When citations appear within parentheses, use commas—rather than parentheses or brackets—to separate the date from the surrounding text. For instance, " … (see Smith, 1776, for an early discussion of this)."
It is the author's obligation to provide complete references with the necessary information. Our editors do not check this.
- After the last sentence of your submission (text or appendix), please insert a line break—not a page break—and begin your references on the same page.
- Do not split an individual reference between two pages. If the entirety of the reference does not fit on the page it starts on, then move the entire reference to start on the following page.
- References must be in alphabetical order and have margins that are both left- and right- justified. You may choose not to right-justify the margin of individual references if the spacing looks too awkward.
- Use hanging indents for citations (i.e., the first line of the citation should be flush with the left margin and all other lines should be indented from the left margin by a set amount). Citations should be single-spaced with extra space between citations.
- Within the references section, the citations can be formatted as you like, provided (i) the formatting is consistent and (ii) each citation begins with the last name of the first author. That is, the following would all be acceptable:
Smith, Adam (1776) The Wealth of Nations, …
Smith, A., The Wealth of Nations, … , 1776.
Smith, Adam: The Wealth of Nations, 1776, …

I stumbled upon Better Whey of Life Yogurt while in Whole Foods the other day, and I had to buy some. With 15 mg of "complete protein," how could I resist? Although here were several fruit flavors, I decided to try the Better Whey of Life Plain 'n Tart Protein Yogurt, and bought a 6-ounce container for $1.59. I wondered whether to add sweetener, but decided to forgo that for at least the first bite. I found that this yogurt, unsweetened, had a hint of lemony taste, much like that of other plain nonfat yogurts (like Stonyfield Farm).
It was good without the added sweet flavor, but I decided to add some sweetener to see how that spruced things up. I found that the sweetener made the yogurt taste even better to me (and my sweet tooth), but, that said, the unsweetened flavor isn't as sour as something like Fage Fat Free Yogurt. The texture was interesting too. It's thicker and more pudding-like than most other regular yogurts, but not as thick as Greek yogurt. It really reminded me of a tart pudding.
Each 6 ounce cup of Better Whey of Life Plain 'n Tart Protein Yogurt provides 130 calories, 0.5 grams of total fat, 12% of the daily value for fiber, 7 grams of sugar, 17 grams of protein, and a whopping 35% of the RDA for calcium. The ingredients are, cultured pasteurized Grade A nonfat milk, whey protein concentrate, inulin, natural corn starch, Kosher gelatin, pectin and vitamin D.
I love the combination of protein, fiber and calcium for a reasonable number of calories. This will go into my yogurt rotation for sure.

Lance Jungmeyer, Fresh Produce Association of the AmericasFlorida has showed once again that politics trumps the needs of U.S. consumers and buying organizations.
On Sept. 27, the Department of Commerce announced its intention to scuttle the 16-year tomato suspension agreement that has provided stability to the marketplace.
In a flurry of letters in mid-September, congressmen from the important swing state of Florida demanded that the Department of Commerce immediately terminate the agreement and anti-dumping investigation.
Florida didn't get all it wanted, but it has set the stage to get what it wants.
While the suspension agreement has been in place, Mexico's tomato industry has made great strides in producing tomatoes that consumers want and crave.
Supermarket shelves have abundant varieties, from cocktail tomatoes to tomatoes on the vine, from multicolored heirlooms to pear-shaped varieties.
Using sophisticated seeds from U.S., Israeli and Dutch seed breeders, Mexico has even been able to improve the shelf life and flavor of standards such as romas and round field tomatoes.
Meanwhile, Florida largely relies on old technology — picking tomatoes green, storing them for long periods and gassing them with ethylene to turn them red, but not really ripe.
Shoppers are wise to this and have been bypassing Florida tomatoes, which is the real reason for the amazing growth in Mexican tomato volumes.
The announcement by the Department of Commerce potentially paves the way for Florida growers to achieve their goal — to file a new anti-dumping suit and effectively block Mexican tomatoes from the market.
These growers stand to reap huge financial gains by cornering the winter and early spring tomato market — at the expense of U.S. consumers.
Florida claims that 80 U.S. growers represent 90% of the U.S. production, and that this is basis enough for terminating the agreement. The Department of Commerce decided to ignore refuting evidence from the Mexican growers, and rushed its decision.
What this whole case boils down to is a select group of U.S. growers using protectionism to cut their competitors' throats.
The building pressure from the Florida industry and its congressional delegation the closer we get to election day has been wholly inappropriate.
The Fresh Produce Association of the Americas sent a letter to President Obama stating as much, but unfortunately we were ignored.
So were the 370 other letters from U.S. entities stating that they preferred the stability that the tomato trade pact has brought to U.S.-Mexico relations.

The city of Meservey in Cerro Gordo County lifted a boil advisory this morning after test results showed the water was safe to drink.
The city issued the advisory Sunday after losing water pressure following a fire and power loss. When water pressure drops, it creates the potential for bacteria or other contaminants to enter the water distribution system.
The city has restored pressure, tested water in several locations and refilled the water tower.

I think it is ridiculous for somebody to set up a computer program to watch a auction but wait till the very end and have the program bid for you. My point is if you want something. Do it yourself and place a bid whether its early or late in the auction. People can't place bids in milliseconds but computers can, therefore in my opinion making it completely unfair. Either way I have moved on a while ago, just wanted to give my point of view.

Ok travis heres how it works. say for example you got this really cool card on the bay.. its set at no reserve its worth a bunch of money and you know this.. the card is currently going for 30 bucks it's got maybe an hr left and you know in your head its worth a bill or two.. so instead of you driving up the price on the auction and getting into a pissing match with someone else that really wants it. you just go to an off website and tell it Im willing to spend atleast lets say 100 bucks..and within 5ms when the auction your about to win is over. it goes BLAM!! outbids the other people and thats if the other bidders didnt put there price over what you told the website.. ta da! Its all yours. You also have options to give it a lead or bid increment so u wont lose. I probably just touched on the overall concept that you said you already know, but hopefully not. PM me if you got any questions

"Over the years, I have seen Mound Bayou at its best and at its worst. Now is the time for us to move forward together. One may ask how do we move forward – we move forwardly by implementing: a city-wide clean up, improving our infrastructure, paving our streets, promoting economic development, creating jobs for our citizens, improving housing with emphasis on creating opportunities for home ownership, promoting quality education, crime prevention, tourism attraction, and improving the overall quality of life for our citizens.

If you've ever been walking or driving in New Orleans on a Saturday near the end of summer, you may have spotted an odd sight: a group of men and women all dolled up in red dresses, strutting their stuff down a French Quarter street like Rampart or Bourbon. You may have shrugged it off as one of those "only-in-New Orleans-type things," and you wouldn't be wrong. But then you see another gaggle of red dresses on men and women alike. And then another. And soon you realize that something must be going on today or the city's denizens are losing their minds.
It is something going on—it's the Red Dress Run.
Held this year on August 10th from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the Red Dress Run is "the biggest little Red Dress event in the world." The premise is simple: don yourself with your best red dress—man or woman—and join the throng of other red dressers in the French Quarter. If you want to actually participate in the race aspect of the event, register ahead of time, and enjoy even more Red Dress Run fun as you attend the after-party in Armstrong Park on N. Rampart, complete with food and music from Cowboy Mouth and Dash Rip Rock. But many people do not register for the race, and they are the ones you will see cramming the streets after the actual race is over for the rest of the day.

Lucy Schofield, 6, plays at the Lurie Children's Hospital on Thursday, December 13, 2012. I Stacie Scott~Sun-Times Media
Can you mend a child's ailing heart with bamboo? Would a real fire truck help? And how effective are small anthropomorphic birds in the healing process?
When the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago opened last June, attention focused on its staggering specifics -- the $855 million price tag, its 23 stories, the tallest children's hospital in the world, built from scratch steps from the old Water Tower.
But if you walk through, floor by floor, the hospital reveals a hidden world -- both of small details, tiny figures tucked inside box dioramas a foot off the floor, to huge displays, such as an enormous mother whale and her calf suspended from the 40-foot-tall entrance ceiling. Elements you might not notice at first, like that real door off a Norwegian submarine just to the left of the aquarium, to things you can't miss, like the grove of living bamboo -- all designed to distract, amuse, comfort and, just possibly, help heal the sick children receiving treatment here.
With a miniscule art budget -- $900,000, about 1/10 of one percent of the hospital's cost -- from the start, Lurie realized it had to do something unconventional. What it did was enlist Chicago's great cultural institutions to help create an environment different than any other hospital's.
"Most hospitals have an art budget and get prints and posters and frame stuff and put it on the wall," said Lisa Mulvaney, coordinator, creative arts program at Lurie. "We said, let's take that small budget and see if these partners will work with us. We engaged the 23 different organizations and divided them up."
Each floor has a theme, built around an animal host -- birds, zebras, lions, bears -- and an welcoming tableau when you step off the elevators, such as a computerized screen where children can have virtual butterflies cluster upon them, or a mural of stars, or animals, plus places to play -- giant climbing eggs, the cab from a fire truck. The themes extend throughout the corridors, augmented by "discovery boxes," little 3D scene set at the level of a crawling toddler.
Their community partners are a who's who of the Chicago cultural community, each volunteering their efforts: The Art Institute and the Adler Planetarium, the Chicago Botanic Garden and the Chicago Symphony, the Field Museum and the Joffrey.
"It seemed like an incredible project, an oportunity to collaborate with another arts organization," said Jon Weber, director of learning programs at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, which worked with Lookingglass Theatre to create the visual version of "Peter and the Wolf" on the hospital's 15th floor.
"What we did with 'Peter and the Wolf' that we're really proud of is that it features a child hero confronting fear and anxiety and triumphing," said Weber. "Bravery is Peter's guide."
During planning, the CSO went so far as to mount a performance of "Peter and the Wolf," with Lookingglass to help generate ideas.
The life-sized whales -- the mother is 31 feet long, the calf 13 -- offered their own challenge, because the Shedd wanted to donate them several years before Lurie was ready to receive them. Another local institution stepped in.
"We hadn't even broke ground yet and they wanted us to take these whales," said Mulvaney. "The Field Museum said that they would store them in one of their vaults for three years. We saved the whales, because they would have been destroyed."
It's a hospital, so infection is a concern -- that's why, if you go to the bamboo grove in the two-story atrium on the 11th floor lobby, the water which looks like its circulating around each hand-placed colored marble is actually sealed behind them, to avoid the chance of Legionaire's disease, which propagates in water.
The hospital also deliberately doesn't have artwork in its 288 privage rooms, because it wouldn't do to have a bear in the room of a child who's afraid of bears. Instead, there are three round cubbies intend to display comforting treasures brought from home, like Mimi, the stuffed penguin who is helping Gareth Everett, 4, battle cystic fibrosis.
"That's his best friend, Mimi," says his mother, Annie Everett, standing above the sleeping boy in his room. "Mimi goes everywhere. She goes into surgery with him."
Everett can't say enough about the hospital.
"Isn't it awesome?" she says. "I was overwhelmed. I think we walked around on every floor with our jaw dropped. It was so much color." Having animal-themed floors lets the kids know where they belong. "He can't count to 21, but he knows he's the zebra floor. You can touch everything. The elevators make sounds."
In what is perhaps the single masterstroke of genius in the entire hospital, some elevators are studded with low buttons that honk horns and make other noises, or light up lights, for children who universallly love to push buttons in elevators anyway. Other elevators have colorful growth charts that -- in the runner up grace note -- err on the side of making sick children taller.
No detail was too small. The air vents feature schools of fish and sinuous plants, designed by Aquamoon, a local interior design firm formed by former Shedd employees.
"The prior ones looked like prison bars," said Bryan Schuetze, the owner of Aquamoon, part of an overall aquatic theme.
The hospital is beautiful and perks up the patients, parents and staff, is without question. But does it help the kids get better? That's something Jenifer Cartland, who runs the child health data lab, is looking into.
"There's been a lot of research in the past 15 years looking into the role of nature and just the physical design of spaces in promoting healing and health for patients in hospitals," she says.
"Our design team was very aware of that."
Next month she begins a three part study that examines how the Lurie environment helps patients, and whether they in fact heal quicker and have a more pleasant experience because of it.
"Now we know, when it comes to children's hospitals, we need spaces for parents to get away, to gather themselves and be ready to make more decisions in the care of their children," she says. "And we need spaces for children to get away from it all and engage and play and get distracted."
That certainly is the case for Gareth Everett.
"We come here every eight or nine weeks," says his mother Annie. "We're here a lot. And we have to promise a before and after visit to the fire truck."

"It was a way that I thought we could implement a fundraiser to help raise money for the schools and to give back to the communities that we serve," said Neal Anderson, franchisee. "Every pizza that is ordered (on a particular) day, we donate a $1 to whatever school (that day) is designated for.
"The customer doesn't have to request it or even have to have any idea that we're having it, even though we are marketing it through the schools," said Anderson. "Most of the parents and teachers know that we're having a dough raising that day though. This is our third year doing this and it has been successful.
"This year, we still have about two or three (dough raising days) left but it will be right around about $20,000 that we've given back through this fundraiser," he said. "I think it has been very successful.
"The schools have been very accepting to this fundraiser," said Anderson. "They have just as much fun as we do. They are very active in helping us get the word out and creating awareness and making sure that the students and all their parents know about it. They all have been very supportive. It's been great."
Anderson said he understands the importance of engaging with and giving back to the community as well as trying to sell a product when a businessman is running a business.
"We donate about 10 pizzas to any non-profit organization a year," he said. "We donate a lot to the schools. We just donated 20 pizzas to East Side in support of one of their activities.
"We also have fundraiser cards where the schools can buy them for a dollar each and resell them for $10 so we're used that for fundraisers too," said Anderson.
Domino's has been in Cleveland a little over three years.
"We've been doing well," said Anderson. "We're still here.
"We've made enough pizza to still be here," he said, with a chuckle.
The dough fundraiser is something the company plans to do often.
"Last year, we implemented it in the fall and spring semesters and we're going to do that again this year," said Anderson. "We're just finishing up and I think we're got only two more. Then we're going to line them all up again in the spring."
The fundraiser is done for every school in the Cleveland School District.
"I haven't approached any schools outside of Cleveland but we would certainly be open to doing other schools," said Anderson.
"I would like to say thanks to everyone — to all the customers that have supported us because without them and them being so great to us we wouldn't have the opportunity to do these kinds of things and give back like this. I would also like to thank all our teams' members for working so hard — without them we really couldn't do it. They have been such a huge help."

During the next three weeks CalTrans anticipates building fences and removing trees and other vegetation all along the bypass route, according to CalTrans spokesman Phil Frisbie. Residents will see some gravel and culverts to facilitate ingress and egress areas for different segments near roadways.
Workers also will be installing silt fencing as needed along future planned work areas to reduce the amount of sediment entering local creeks from CalTrans' activities.
Flatiron Construction, one of two main contractors on the project, is expected to begin bringing in steel and timber needed for some of the work anticipated later in the summer.
CalTrans is still working through the details of the anticipated haul road design, said Frisbie.
The gravel roadway installed in the south end of the bypass footprint was not the anticipated haul road, but was needed to allow California Highway Patrol equipment to access the tree-sitter locations.
The bypass route has between eight and 12 biologists along the route, conducting surveys and monitoring activity, says Frisbie. CalTrans has been harvesting wild seeds along the route for the past two years to be used in reseeding disturbed locations. Semaphore grasses are only identifiable in the spring and early summer. These are being identified now to allow them to be transplanted in the winter when dormant.
Two new tree-sitters have taken up residence along the route.
"Spotted Owl" said she is 27 years old and grew up in Southern California. She attended college in Boston.
"Owl" says she knew someone working with the Willits protest group and wanted to come and help.
Neither CalTrans nor CHP has paid much attention to her tree so far.
CalTrans' Frisbie says they are not working in this area during this summer.
Earth First! Wagner said Owl is in the same area as one of the other tree-sitters removed April 2, and his tree was cut down. She wondered why he and his tree were removed if CalTrans was not planning to work at that location.

Stottlemeyer explains that it just means the police plan to call in ''sick'' until they get a better contract.The good news is the labor dispute will give Monk a chance to get back on the force.The bad news is it means he'll be a ''scab''-and he doesn't like the sound of that either.

The Venta SV jacket is ideal for cold, windy, alpine environments, delivering the highest level of protection in our Softshell category. Constructed with three distinctly different WINDSTOPPER® Soft Shell textiles to enhance comfort and performance characteristics, this alternative to a Hardshell, blocks wind while providing increased breathability for active use on frigid days.
Windstopper® fabric is a softshell textile that blocks wind and has an exceptionally high level of water resistance. The three different weights of Windstopper® fabric used in the Venta SV are strategically placed to provide combinations of durability and warmth where they are most needed.
There are advantages to managing wet weather other than with the use of hardshell. Windstopper® fabric is warm, it has stretch and it's quiet, in addition to being highly water resistant. For lower output activities in cold, wet, windy weather, the Venta SV is a solid softshell option.
When the weather is primarily cold and wind can be expected, a Venta SV maintains body temperature during activity without overheating. Lower aerobic output requires an outer layer that is thermally efficient, blocks wind and yet remains breathable.
Within in the range of softshells – see Gamma series – the Venta SV is a severe weather piece with the highest degree of wind resistance and warmth, with less breathability and air permeability.
