|A very special place in life : the history of juvenile justice in Missouri
|Abrams, Douglas E.
|Missouri Juvenile Justice Association
|Professor Abrams chronicles the nineteenth century struggle for a special court to rehabilitate delinquent and dependent children and their families. The leaders were dedicated reformers- the "child savers" who sought to remove children from poorhouses, prisons and other harsh institutions that left little hope for productive adulthood. A Very Special Place in Life traces the twentieth century growth of Missouri's juvenile courts. It discusses the profound changes wrought by the United States Supreme Court's Gault decision, which triggered the "due process revolution" in the nation's juvenile courts in 1967. The book examines efforts to reduce disparities between services available to rural and metropolitan children, and between treatment of minority children and others.

New Prenatal Screening by Natera
Hey, guys, this is another sponsored post. Things have been insane with the holidays, so my regular programming is on hold :)
Hey, guys, this is another sponsored post. Things have been insane with the holidays, so my regular programming is on hold :)
A few months ago, while nursing Lexi to sleep, I was on a Facebook Gentle Parenting group reading someone's post about their daughter. I think she was refering to her daughter being an extrovert and her being an introvert and the difficulty surrounding her parenting due to that.
After reading her post, something clicked in my mind. The way she was describing her daughter seemed very much like Lexi: high excitement, high energy, non-stop movement unless she is doing something that requires her attention, constantly needing attention, not playing on her own.
I had always thought Alexis was high needs in the best possible way when she was little but some things just didn't jive. She wasn't sensitive in a way high needs children tend to be, she just needed a lot of attention and was very specific in what she liked (which was not being constrained)
I have written about buying non-toxic rugs for the playroom.
I have shared with you about the play tents that aren't sprayed with fire retardants
I have opted for solid wood storage furniture from IKEA, rather than their better looking MDF counterpart.
I have tried to mostly use green play furniture by Hape and toddler table by Svan
But the hardest part about creating a relatively non-toxic playroom was bookshelves.
And surprisingly so. You would think that the number one item in a child's play area should be books. That could be my bias talking, of course. Or more precisely, Lexi's bias. She is a book worm. Beyond anything I have seen in a toddler. She LOVES books. She inhales books. On daily basis, all you could hear from her is "READ READ! MAMA READ! PLEASE READ!"
In honor of National Breastfeeding Awareness Month in August, we at Daily Mom are tasking ourselves to do our part by launching our very own Breastfeeding Awareness Campaign.
Lexi is 2.5 years old today, she has been potty trained since 22 months. She goes dry at night IF I make sure to put her on the potty before we go to bed and she doesn't breastfeed much at night. She has been solidly and reliably going on the potty on her own without a reminder since about 24 months. Like any toddler, she waits to pee till the last second because she doesn't want to stop playing, and then run run runs to the potty, but it's still amazing to me that she does it all on her own.
I wrote about how she got to be potty trained. I can't say we trained her, because we only introduced her to the concept and kept communicating it to her and then she just went when she was ready.
I never wrote about what happened next. She had a few accidents in the car while trying to figure out the whole concept of being out and holding. This quickly stopped after 1-2 trips. On long trips, she would communicate to us when she wanted to go. It was all pretty smooth with no regressions from the beginning. It wasn't without our involvement, but there was no forcing or prodding, just talking.
So that was that, awesomely uneventful, mind-blowingly fast and easy-peasy. Just goes to show you that kids will do what they will do as long as you create the right circumstances when they are ready and no amount of forcing will make it happen until they want it to happen.

All my DM girls have been asking for this post and here it is. I know many of my readers, busy moms, might love this concept too.
I have a post pending on 10 best tips for productivity and time management and a related post about my work out routine, but it all wouldn't be complete with an in-detail account of my main time management technique, POMODORO.
{ Glasses c/o David Kind }
Up until recently I have been struggling with fitting everything into a 24 hour day. With all the hobbies and projects, obligations and websites, desires and an active and engaged toddler, it seemed like there was no way to find extra time to be more productive, or accomplish nearly everything on my constantly growing to do list. It turns out there is. Or at least there is a way to make it a little bit more manageable. It's a several step process most of which I will give away in my 10 Tips for Time Management post, but the biggest concept that turned my life around is right here in this article.
For those unfamiliar with time management and GTD (Get Things Done) concepts, Pomodoro is a technique where you work in increments (pomodoros) and then take a break. Usually it's 25 minutes of work with a 5 minute break. That's one pomodoro. But in reality, you can adjust each pomodoro to be as long as works for you. It seems like a simple concept, but it works fabulously.
In an effort to be even more organized and efficient ( I didn't think it was possible), I downloaded a pomodoro app to see if I can make it work for me.
At first it seemed counter intuitive. What? I barely have time and now you want me to take a 5 minute break out of my already jam packed schedule? That's insane.
And then I made a change to it. Instead of actually "taking a break", I took a break from the activity I was doing (which is the goal in pomodoro). In my eternal chase for efficiency, I HAD to do something useful during the 5 minute breaks.
So the first 5 minute break, I sat there for a few seconds, completely NOT ok with wasting even five minute of my precious time on "rest" or something silly like that. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. Rest is subjective, too. I wasn't going to go surf the Internet when there were so many important things to be done and not enough time to do it all. So after a few seconds of sitting there, lost with what I am to do on this self-imposed break, I think I went and did some personal care: brushed my teeth, washed my face, actually moisturized. All the little things that I need to be doing anyways, but never have time to do. Hmmm, It felt good!
Five minutes went by really fast and I was back to working. This wasn't so bad. But again, I needed to have a more strict use of my extra 5 minutes to feel good about it. Prioritized use, so to say.
I had to find something better to do during those 5 minutes. The next five minute break I lay down on the floor to do some exercises. Just because I never get time to exercise.
I could work out during the 5 minute break! Duh!
{ Glasses c/o David Kind }
Of course!
I had been working out using Fit Star and their 12 minute a day program but I always seemed to prioritize other things over the work outs. Even with only 12 minutes.
It's well known that it's beneficial to do short exercises throughout the day to boost your metabolism so it seemed perfect. And it was.
In this new situation I didn't have a choice. I HAD to take a five minute break and Fit Star had to be it.
I think that's where it really worked for me. I am a very driven person, I don't take time to rest or chill out. Not often. I feel BEST when I am busy, working, maximizing every second, getting things done. I become depressed when I feel like my time is wasted on something low on the priorities list. So this was perfect. For the kind of personality that I have, I needed to be FORCED to take a break from the activity I was doing. And that's exactly what this technique did for me. Just like for a less intense person, the technique will force them to work, rather than do things they want to do.
You are also much less likely to skip out on it because it's just 5 minutes, no biggie. When I think of a half an hour work out, I'm like " I just don't have time or energy for that". But five minutes? Sure why not.
What a great way to be productive. The break gives you new energy to tackle your to do list but too short to be distracting. Five minutes turn into 30-60 by the end of the day depending on how much you work. It's amazing.
So nowadays after I finish two sets of fit star during my first five minute breaks, I do the 7MWO ( read work out post here), then I do some personal care stuff like shave, do my hair, floss, brush, moisturize, whatever needs to be done. And if I have any breaks left, I clean.
I haven't tried this concept on days where I'm with Lexi all day, only on my "working " days but I think it could be applied to those days too with some self discipline.
As a work at home mom, this concept works really fabulously, especially at nights when I only have 3-4 hours to work after Lexi goes to bed (if that) and need to maximize every minute of it.
You can use the pomodoro concept and apply it to everything. Define what your main goal is for the purposes of pomodoro for that moment and take 5 minute breaks from it to either do something else or rest.
So in case of SAHMs, the main job would be taking care of kids, so one could spend 25 minutes playing and interacting with them and then say "OK, mommy is going to go do so and so for 5 minutes". It's a short break for you to do what you need to do and your kid isn't upset because you're back to playing with them before they can say "Mommy!"
Since I am writing about it, I am going to try doing that with Lexi next week. We are out of the house all the time, so it only works if you stay in ( though can probably get adapted for outdoor time), that's why I haven't tried it yet on the SAHM side of things. But on the WAHM side, it is life changing.
{Maxi Dress by Garnet Hill. Check out their Sale of the Day}
After a day of using the Pomodoro technique, I feel like I have had a balanced productive day, rather than a day where I got something done for one aspect of my to-dos, but nothing for others.
In fact, as I am writing this, I have 8 minutes and 45 seconds left on my 5th pomodoro of the day, after which I will have to take a break and in my case it will be 7MWO, since I completed FitStar today already. Then the next breaks, I will get ready for bed, take a shower, etc etc.
The feeling of being efficient is what gives me the energy to do this, work without a real break. Every day, all day. Knowing that I am getting so much done is the best feeling in the world and is so much better than taking breaks and never feeling like you have enough time or accomplished, and realizing that it's also balanced makes it so much more rewarding. I still get to chill out when I feel like I need to. usually by Friday, I'm all "Baby, let's just watch a show tonight and go to bed". I still get on my computer and work half the time, but I am not chasing productivity at that time and just enjoy unproductive multitasking.
{ Sunglasses c/o See Saw Seen Eyewear }
Of course, one pomodoro technique isn't going to help if a person is disorganized to begin with, so that why I am working on a post about 10 time management tips for moms and 10 amazing apps that will make you an efficient mommy machine. These will include everything I have learned and tried in the years of working and the 3 years of being busier than I can ever imagine ( kids do that to you and so do new projects).
I feel I have a really good handle on things now. I spent the last two years trying everything in the world to see if it works, throwing it against the wall till it sticks. This has become my trifecta of productivity. I feel like I spend extra quality time with my daughter and my family, get work done without feeling too behind (though I know I will always BE behind until I find more ways of delegating my work or not take on new things), I take care of myself and my body and that results in a more relaxed mommy, wife and an individual who isn't constantly watching the clock and wondering when she can get to do all the things on her to do list, rather than playing with her kids and really being in the moment.

Having a more self-sufficient 2 year old rather than a baby is helpful, too, but that's another story for another time.
10 time management tips for busy moms
10 amazing apps that will make you an efficient mommy machine.
Can I start this post with UGH?
I really didn't think I'd be here at this point, but whatever.
Let me start from the beginning. Or actually let me start with this phrase:
Bam! That blows! It took 3 years (pregnancy and 2 toddler years) to UNDO all the work I had done prior to pregnancy.
People often ask me how I stayed so fit and "skinny" after birth. Before, I could have told them something worthwhile. Now I just chuckle. I looked good after birth because I was REALLY fit going INTO pregnancy.

LSTN Headphones Are Built From Wood, And Built For Charity
Wood is more a novelty than a commonplace material in headphones, but if you think about it, it really shouldn't be. Quite a few instruments involve the use of wood in their construction, from pianos to guitars; wood is a naturally renewable resource; and we have centuries of experience manufacturing with wood, as a species. It seems a no-brainer, but apparently the crew at LSTN are the first to really make a go of it beyond some novelty headsets. And they're also aiming to make them a way to give back, as well, by working with a deaf charity.
LSTN headphones are encased in ebony, cherry and beech wood. No worries on the ebony; they're using scraps from woodworkers, not having trees cut down. In turn, the wood is carved into three types of headphones: Bowerys, the earbuds; Fillmores, the folding headphones; and Troubadours, their full-size closed-cup headphones. Each model also has an in-line microphone, so you can use them to take calls as well as listen to tunes. The natural grain of wood means that no two sets of LSTN headphones are alike, and they're also helpfully engineered to be good for any genre of music.
As for the charity part, a portion of the proceeds from LSTN are donated to the Starkey Hearing Foundation, which is dedicated to providing hearing aids to those who need them, especially in the Third World. You hear the word "charity" you automatically wonder if the charity is any good, and the Starkey Foundation actually does pretty well on Charity Navigator. So you can probably feel good about your purchase, which is nice.
As for the cost of that purchase, LSTN's products start at $50 for their earbuds and go all the way up to $150 for the closed-cups. Not a bad price, considering what a share of the money ultimately goes to.

With a lack of offense, Julien gets defensive
|02.04.10 at 10:55 pm ET
Claude Julien just watched his team take 47 shots on net and score twice in 65 minutes, including a 4-on-3 power play in overtime and a scoreless shootout. All of this on top of 42 shots on Tuesday night that resulted in just one goal in a 4-1 loss to the Washington Capitals.
The Bruins coach was had seen enough. And when he was asked whether three goals in 89 shots and nine straight losses means his team was no better than average, Julien responded.
"We believe we have a better-than-average hockey team," Julien said. "I think our team was pretty good tonight. I'm not going to stand here and say we're a bad team. Absolutely not."

An interview with talkhealth's Deborah Wyatt, on Channel 5 midday News discussing eczema and allergies.
talkhealth is a team of like-minded individuals, who are keen to provide the latest health information and support that is currently available. The teams primary aim is to make health support easily accessible to everyone, offering interactivity between health professionals, charities and fellow patients and their carers'.
Such a lack of support back in 2000 prompted the idea of talkhealth, following the birth of Deborah Wyatt's daughter with a chronic eczema condition. The talkhealth team are very aware of how time consuming it is piecing together all the disparate information that is available across the internet, plus most importantly understanding its trustworthiness. Secondly they also understand the wish for people to be able to easily communicate directly with others in a similar position. Chronic health conditions can be very alienating and there is only so much you can repeatedly discuss with family and friends. Talking openly with others who fully understand health issues is a very important part of the talkhealth community experience.
The talkhealth team are all actively involved within the communities' membership and talk openly in the forums and regularly on the blogs. They are always on the lookout for anything that they feel would be of interest to visitors and therefore openly encourage anyone to contact with news and information that they feel will be of genuine benefit to the community.

PRLog - Sep. 13, 2009 - SALT LAKE CITY -- The LifeSpan TR4000i treadmill was awarded Best Treadmill in Health magazine's America's Healthiest Fitness Buys for 2009! The LifeSpan TR4000i treadmill was rated #1 over all other treadmills! Treadmills were reviewed and judged by a panel led by Lynn Allen, consultant for the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA). Judges were impressed by the TR4000i's innovative console, most notably its ability to save exercise data, including time, distance, calories, steps and heart rate, and transfer results to a personal online health and fitness management account to track progress.
Best Treadmill! LifeSpan TR4000i is America's Healthiest Treadmill
The Best Treadmill award praised the TR4000i's USB feature which integrates with the Lifespan Fitness Club, an exclusive online health and fitness management solution that tracks physical activity and vital stats uploaded from a USB device or entered manually. A LifeSpan Fitness Club membership is included with each purchase of a TR4000i treadmill.
Users access their accounts from the internet, which is like having a virtual personal trainer with you at all times. Users also use the LifeSpan Fitness Club to set goals, create a customized exercise plan, and compare progress to their goals.

"We are dedicated to being a leader in this behavioral shift driving the integration of fitness equipment with the internet and developing features that make our equipment more effective, engaging and entertaining."
The USB feature on the LifeSpan TR4000i treadmill is an integral feature of the LifeSpan i family of products, which includes LifeSpan treadmills, elliptical trainers and health monitors such as the Lifespan blood pressure monitor. Each product includes a membership in the LifeSpan Fitness Club.
The Best Treadmill award also recognized many of the features of the fully-loaded LifeSpan TR4000i treadmill, which makes it ideal for casual walkers to serious runners. A powerful motor, spacious running belt with cushioned deck suspension, and handlebar controls for speed and incline make it ideal for any type of user up to 350 pounds. A colorful console displays Steps Taken, Time, Distance, Calories, Speed, and Incline, and has programs for Weight Loss, Health Living, Sports Training, and Heart Rate Control. Premium quality professional audio sound lets users listen to their favorite mp3 tunes as they exercise.

Really nice place to stay. The only comment I have is that we got a appartement nearbij the beachtclub 'neighbours' which made a lot of noise /loud music (bass beat). Not really quiet. The staff helped us out by calling them, which helped.

the hotel would be suitable for a wide range of clientele: couples,old and young and families with children. Would perhaps be a little quiet for young singles. We particularly liked the beach area with spaced out comfortable sunloungers and plenty of shade. This is one of the best locations in the town. Dinners were average,but lunch which was an alternative option was excellent,as were the a la carte breakfasts, all in very pleasant surroundings. The staff were very friendly and helpful.It was nice to be able to walk into the town for shops and restaurants. It was a pleasant and restful experience

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Despite a thick veneer of solemn, biblical exegesis, Beast has a distinct, uptempo charm thanks to the slapstick-like distance director and coscreenwriter Álex de la Iglesia keeps from his apocalyptic premise. Father Ángel's vague plan to cozy up to Satan by learning "to do evil" unfolds with a wacky but sinister earnestness that's as comfortable with the possibility that he's a fruitcake as with the more standard proposition that he's a legit, albeit overmatched, seer. From his early, baby-step crimes (the padre pushes a mime down a flight of stairs) to his haphazard pursuit of virgin's blood (it's needed to invoke the devil), Ángel is more sympathetic bumbler than hardcore spiritual warrior, theoretically astute but lacking in practical know-how. He does get help, first in the form of a burly, gun-toting record store clerk, then in the incredulous company of a fraudulent TV psychic, but it's a typical with-friends-like-these setup, with the trio adding up to less than half a Hollywood exorcist. Beast is laden with wisecracks and concisely drawn, comic bit players, but you're never sure exactly who the joke is on. Even the money shot that should push the proceedings firmly into the camp of the supernatural thriller has a jokily ambiguous qualitythe unexpected appearance of a low-budget goat-devil sends Father Ángel and his assistants screaming like Stooges, but only after they've dropped a few tabs of acid.
On the F/X front Beast lacks digital polish, but that's no loss; the kitschy stop-motion demons manage to come off as thematic choices as opposed to financial necessities. Reminiscent of the nasty fun of Evil Deadera Sam Raimi, Beast is hardly a genre buster but de la Iglesia clearly understood the particular strengths of his story, working overtime to make his various aesthetic ends meet while serving up familiar yuks and frights in consistently inventive ways.

Second Part of Alzheimer's Toxic Two Identified
(Ivanhoe Newswire) — Like two brothers wrestling fighting who need to be put in separate corners, a pair of protein molecules work together to speed up the toxic events of Alzheimer's disease. The second molecule was identified and could lead to novel drugs that slow or even prevent the disease.
Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disease marked by deterioration of nerve cells and eventual complete loss of cognitive functioning "" thinking, memory, and reason. Many Alzheimer's patients have brain lesions called amyloid plaques, which consist of protein fragments called amyloid-beta. Small aggregates of amyloid-beta are thought to contribute prominently to the degeneration of brain cells in Alzheimer's.
The discovery involves an amyloid beta fragment called AICD. Scientists have known that AICD controls expression of genes that contribute to Alzheimer's, but how it did so was unclear "" until now. "We discovered a protein molecule that communicates with AICD to turn on target genes," Thomas G. Boyer, Ph.D., professor of molecular medicine at the Health Science Center, was quoted as saying. "We hope to exploit this knowledge to identify compounds or drugs that can disrupt these signals, leading to a novel and effective treatment for this disease."
Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia among older people, and estimates indicate that as many as 5.3 million Americans suffer from it. While several drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration can temporarily slow worsening symptoms, no treatment is currently available to slow or stop the degeneration of nerve cells that lies at the root of the disease.

Call of Duty: Ghosts single player campaign trailer with more dogs10 Sep 2013
Activision continue to ramp up the hype for Call of Duty: Ghosts with another trailer, this one focusing on the single player campaign. As you'd expect there's lots of shooting, manly narration and dogs! Watch out for the dog hanging out the chopper at 1:28. I hope he was OK.
Have the barf bags ready for some of the dialogue; it's quite cringeworthy.Related to this story

Alright! I'll take your word for it. In comparison to the F5 and F4 34,000 does seem a realistic number and low in comparison.
I did manage to shoot a roll with the F6, rattled off a roll in record time, Kodachrome 200 I seem to recall! He offered me the body with the MB-40 for 1200.00 US which was a great price, and the other one I saw was with the MB-40 as well for 1600 so deals abound (at least at that time).
I do think the F6 is more in use in other areas like Germany. At least here in Hawaii most shooters are too taken with the digital.

Protestors outside a county courthouse in Clayton, Missouri, on Wednesday.
Several dozen protesters gathered and chanted Wednesday in front of a county courthouse near Ferguson, Missouri, where a grand jury was expected to begin hearing evidence in the police killing of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager.
More than a dozen police officers formed a line to prevent the protesters from entering the courthouse in the city of Clayton, about nine miles from Ferguson. Police tape blocked the entrance. The protesters were peaceful. They yelled, "Hands up! Don't shoot!" — a refrain from the 11 nights of demonstrations against the killing of Brown. Protesters have demanded that the officer, Darren Wilson, be prosecuted.
A protester supporting Wilson was escorted away by police when media and the protesters supporting the Brown family crowded around her.

Furniture Design: The Oddbod Chair
Furniture Design: The Oddbod Chair
Javier Alejandre exhibited his chair, Oddbod, at the Spanish Design Awards INJUVE 2010. The product designer and student from Madrid designed Oddbod to play at the boundary between inert objects and living creatures by using shapes that call to mind extraterrestrial bodies (and it is a pretty cute, alien-like chair).
Oddbod Chair - Javier Alejandre Design from Javier Alejandre on Vimeo.
The formal inspirations for the design stem from sci-fi movies of the mid-twentieth century and retrofuturistic organic design tendencies. The body is rotomoulded PE and the legs are pine.

I've run into a strange (and very frustrating) problem with my iPod Touch.
All of a sudden, as soon as it's turned on, it's selecting apps and then clicking on options within those apps even though the screen is not being touched. For instance, I'll turn it on and the Mail app will launch by itself, then it'll select inbox, then it'll open the message at the top of the screen. Just now, I clicked on the Facebook app myself, but then took my finger off the screen -- it opened the box to update my status. It's happening with other apps too.
I restored the iPod to factory settings, hoping that would help, but the problem remains. As it stands, my iPod is basically useless, since it keeps doing its own thing even when I'm trying to use it.
Has anyone else seen this happen? Is there anything else I can do?
(And yes, I know, it's hilarious that my iPod has become possessed on Halloween. But, actually, it started doing this last night.)

Although this is my theory, your iPod Touch could be getting hacked, but I highly doubt that. Unless it's jailbroken. Is it under warranty? I would take a trip to the Apple Store with it and have them figure out what's wrong with it.

Same problem!!
ok so i have the same problem. i got a first generation ipod when it first came out and it worked great. two months after i had it, i had fried it when my friend thru me in a snowbank with it in my back pocket. i put it in a jar of rice and it worked fine. about 6 months later my wifi button greyed out and wouldnt work...so i restored it like 5 times and it hasnt done that since. it is now about a year and 3 months since i friend my ipod. it had worked fine til now. now only the bottom section of my screen is messed up. it will open things and touch things on its own. ive learned to keep my finger on the screen til i click something then put my finger back on the screen to stop it from touching anything. this is really annoying and i wish to fix this problem. restoring it doesnt work. i even talked to my tech teacher at school and he hasnt a clue. i had a warranty but that only lasted a year and so my warranty is up. i tried to call the apple store and since my warranty is up they wont even try to help me. i wish i could help you solve the problem but i cant. im looking for a sloution too. just know that people out there are having the same problem. but damn its so frustrating

Research details: Petty and her team studied normal and cancerous human breast tissue samples in cell culture to find out how CHFR affects certain proteins. They focused on proteins that regulate how spindles form and how chromosomes divide and form along the spindle. The team found that CHFR interacts with alpha tubulin, a protein important in forming mitotic spindles, and with a key mitotic spindle checkpoint regulator, MAD2, previously implicated in breast cancer. They found that when CHFR is absent, MAD2 does not do its job.
"Cells without CHFR not only have problems creating the structure or apparatus necessary to separate the chromosomes between the two daughter cells during cell division. They also have an impaired ability to detect and correct the problem before the chromosomes separate," says Privette.
"Prior to our findings, we knew that breast cancer cells often had the wrong number of chromosomes, but no one had identified any gene, or group of genes, that could account for the high frequency of this problem," says Privette.
The new study, she says, "provides one reason why the majority of breast cancer cells have too many chromosomes, which is a major hallmark of malignant cancers. Although a lot of work remains, and other genes are likely involved, our work on the role of CHFR in breast cancer development is an interesting and important piece of a very large puzzle."
