Adamek firstname.lastname@example.com Open Journal Systems Advances in Social Work is committed to enhancing the linkage among social work practice, research, and education. Accordingly, the journal addresses current issues, challenges, and responses facing social work practice and education. http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/18305 Thank You and Good Night 2014-12-11T13:38:02-05:00 William H. Barton firstname.lastname@example.com 2014-12-08T15:57:02-05:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/16430 Ethics Do Matter, But Where? 2014-12-11T13:38:03-05:00 Peter J. O'Brien email@example.com The implications of social work being an ethics-based profession are explored. Conduct toward colleagues in the discharge of ethical practices is a focus of this article. The author's view is that other disciplines involved in mental health, for example, psychiatry, family physicians, psychology, nursing, pastoral services, education, and rehabilitation therapy, share these values. As such, these themes are relevant across many professional disciplines. The article's intent is to promote discussion as to how we cultivate a collective demeanor as social workers that is congruent with our most hallowed values and principles, namely, social justice, ethical practice, fairness and respect for all people. An examination of daily practices in the workplace and suggested remedies to enhance ethical conduct, including a series of questions we can ask ourselves, are offered. 2014-08-01T09:24:05-04:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/12063 Social Workers as Civic-Minded Professionals 2014-12-11T13:38:04-05:00 Sarah E. Twill email@example.com Laura A. Lowe email@example.com This study examined civic-mindedness among a sample of social work educators, community practitioners and new graduates. Using a web-based survey, researchers administered Hatcher's (2008) Civic-Minded Professional scale. Results indicated that traditional and field faculty were more civic-minded than new graduates and other practitioners. Social work educators who focused on raising civic awareness in courses were more civic-minded than colleagues. New graduates who had participated in club service events were more civic-minded; however, there was no significant differences between groups based on number of community service courses completed. Social workers, whether faculty or not, who had participated in collaborative research were more civic-minded. The authors conclude that how social workers view their commitment to civic engagement has implications. Social workers need to be vigilant in our commitment to well-being in society. Intentional practices could be implemented to strengthen the partnership among groups. 2014-01-14T15:20:39-05:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/17679 Are Empathy and Compassion Bad for the Professional Social Worker? 2014-12-11T13:38:06-05:00 Peter Nilsson email@example.com Recent studies have shown that social workers and other professional helpers who work with traumatized individuals run a risk of developing compassion fatigue or secondary traumatic stress. Some researchers have hypothesized that helpers do this as a result of feeling too much empathy or too much compassion for their clients, thereby implying that empathy and compassion may be bad for the professional social worker. This paper investigates these hypotheses. Based on a review of current research about empathy and compassion it is argued that these states are not the causes of compassion fatigue. Hence, it is argued that empathy and compassion are not bad for the professional social worker in the sense that too much of one or the other will lead to compassion fatigue. 2014-11-10T10:13:00-05:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/8766 Engaging Families, Building Relationships: Strategies for Working Across Systems from a Social Exchange Perspective 2014-12-11T13:38:07-05:00 Karen Rice email@example.com Heather Girvin firstname.lastname@example.com In child welfare, the relationship between worker and client is viewed as the mechanism through which families may be engaged. Certain settings may complicate the development of a helping relationship and require workers to counter these pressures by developing more effective means of engaging families. Utilizing a social exchange framework, this qualitative study was conducted to explore interactions among parents and professionals in dependency court hearings. Findings revealed that a lack of reciprocity hinders the development of collaborative relationships that could support and assist families. Implications for social work practice are examined. 2014-07-28T11:28:36-04:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/12140 Self-Efficacy in Newly-Hired Child Welfare Workers 2014-12-11T13:38:08-05:00 Donna Cherry email@example.com Bruce Dalton firstname.lastname@example.com Angela Dugan email@example.com Child abuse and neglect in the United States resulted in 676,569 reports in 2011 (U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, 2012). Workers in this field struggle with low pay, high caseloads, inadequate training and supervision, and risk of violence, all of which contribute to worker burnout and poor worker retention rates. Worker self-efficacy is predictive of worker retention, job performance, and persistence in this difficult field. This paper reports the development of a new measure of self-efficacy from a sample of 395 child welfare workers. Factor analysis revealed two domains of self-efficacy, direct practice and indirect practice, which can be modestly predicted by worker characteristics upon hire and the training program the workers attend. Worker self-efficacy can be used to identify vulnerable workers who may be especially in need of strong supervisory support as well as understand who to target for recruitment. A review of the literature of self-efficacy in child welfare workers is included. 2014-02-12T14:12:45-05:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/16429 Special Needs Adoption and Foster Exigencies (SAFE): A Model for Case Managers 2014-12-11T13:38:09-05:00 Kristen Linton email@example.com Andrea Birmingham firstname.lastname@example.com Loren Case firstname.lastname@example.com Laura Ezzy email@example.com Jandee Ferguson email@example.com Courtney Harrison email@example.com Leina'ala Launiu firstname.lastname@example.com Children with special needs disproportionately receive child welfare services in out-of-home placements, such as foster and adoptive homes. This theoretical model has been developed to describe or explain exigencies of adoptive and foster families of children with special needs (n = 82). A web content analysis, including theme, feature, link, exchange, and language analyses, of online discussion forums of adoptive and foster parents of children with special needs using a phenomenological framework was conducted. Inductive and quantitative web content analyses were conducted on themes. Parenting concerns were clustered into two main themes, disability and placement issues, and focused on children's pre and post placement needs. A phenomenological analysis resulted in the development of the Special Needs Adoption and Foster Exigencies (SAFE), which outlines exigencies of adoptive and foster parents of children with special needs during engagement, assessment, and intervention phases of case management. 2014-05-12T10:32:34-04:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/16686 Influences on Interdisciplinary Collaboration among Social Work and Health Sciences Students 2014-12-11T13:38:11-05:00 Sang Jung Lee firstname.lastname@example.com Stacey L. Shipe firstname.lastname@example.com Interdisciplinary collaboration is an effective and satisfying way to provide health care services and learning across professions. This study aimed to explore interdisciplinary collaboration experiences amongst social work and allied health sciences graduate students and examined factors that contributed to their interdisciplinary collaboration. An interdisciplinary survey was conducted in a Mid-Atlantic public university. Analysis was conducted using hierarchical regressions from 112 health sciences and social work students. Students with positive attitudes toward interdisciplinary health care teams and part-time students compared to full-time students presented higher flexibility of interdisciplinary collaboration. Students with positive experiences of interdisciplinary collaboration demonstrated higher levels of interdependence, compared to those with no and negative experiences of interdisciplinary collaboration. Students in medicine were less likely to show interdependence, compared to those in social work. Professional disciplines and educators should put efforts in offering opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration practice and building curricula to promote positive attitudes toward interdisciplinary teamwork. 2014-10-28T12:36:23-04:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/15089 Collaborative Approaches to Undergraduate Research Training: Information Literacy and Data Management 2014-12-11T13:38:12-05:00 Hailey Mooney email@example.com W. Aaron Collie email@example.com Shawn Nicholson email@example.com Marya R. Sosulski firstname.lastname@example.com The undergraduate research experience (URE) provides an opportunity for students to engage in meaningful work with faculty mentors on research projects. An increasingly important component of scholarly research is the application of research data management best practices, yet this often falls out of the scope of URE programs. This article presents a case study of faculty and librarian collaboration in the integration of a library and research data management curriculum into a social work URE research team. Discussion includes reflections on the content and learning outcomes, benefits of a holistic approach to introducing undergraduate students to research practice, and challenges of scale. 2014-03-26T14:29:08-04:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/15692 The Effectiveness of Writing Across the Curriculum in a Baccalaureate Social Work Program: Students' Perceptions 2014-12-11T13:38:13-05:00 Naelys Luna email@example.com E. Gail Horton firstname.lastname@example.com Jeffrey R. Galin firstname.lastname@example.com Effective social work practice requires strong writing and communication skills; however, social work students often experience difficulties performing academically at expected levels. This article presents findings from a student survey that was collected for two years to assess perceptions of the effectiveness of Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) strategies on writing skills and social work knowledge acquisition in an introductory social work class that is taught every semester at a school of social work located in southeastern Florida. Students reported that WAC strategies substantially improved their abilities to write in the discipline and learn course content. Based on our findings, it is recommended that schools of social work infuse WAC throughout their curriculum, a process that requires cross curricular collaboration, intra-departmental support, and faculty commitment to course development and implementation. 2014-05-29T10:33:30-04:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/16672 Human Sexuality as a Critical Subfield in Social Work 2015-04-14T15:55:55-04:00 Emily McCave email@example.com Benjamin Shepard email@example.com Virginia Ramseyer Winter firstname.lastname@example.com Human sexuality is of vital importance to social work practitioners, educators, and scholars. Yet historically, the profession's leadership around it has waxed and waned, impacting practice. This article discusses the importance of human sexuality as a critical subfield within social work. It suggests that the mechanisms, namely textbooks, journals, and national conferences, for stimulating human sexuality social work scholarship are limited. The authors assert that the taboo of human sexuality limits the advancement of a cohesive professional discourse and contributes to the continued oppression of marginalized populations. Recommendations for providing better support for those who study, teach, and practice in the arena of human sexuality are offered. 2014-09-03T11:57:36-04:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/17162 Age Differences in LGBT Attitudes Toward Marriage Equality 2014-12-11T13:38:15-05:00 Elaine M. Maccio email@example.com Sara Mateer DeRosa email@example.com Scott E. Wilks email@example.com Amy L. Wright firstname.lastname@example.com The purpose of this study was to compare attitudes of older versus younger lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals regarding marriage equality. Data were collected via self-report questionnaires from 350 LGBT adults in a mid-size city in the southern United States. Older and younger LGBT cohorts did not differ significantly in voter registration, political party affiliation, awareness of LGBT political issues, or voting on social issues. Older LGBT adults were less likely to find same-sex marriage important. Yet, age cohorts did not differ significantly on legalizing same-sex marriage. Social work implications are discussed regarding this policy area. 2014-10-07T14:03:10-04:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/16139 Attitudes Toward Same-Gender Adoption and Parenting: An Analysis of Surveys from 16 Countries 2014-12-11T13:38:17-05:00 Darrel Montero email@example.com Globally, little progress has been made toward the legalization of same-gender adoption. Of the nearly 200 United Nations members, only 15 countries with populations of 3 million or more have approved LGBT adoption without restrictions. The objectives of this paper are, first, to provide a brief background of the obstacles confronting same-gender adoption including the role of adoption agencies and parenting issues; second, to discuss the current legal status of the 15 countries which have approved same-gender adoption without restrictions; third, to report on recent public opinion regarding the legalization of same-gender adoption and parenting, drawing from previously published surveys conducted in 16 countries; and, fourth, to explore the implications for social work practice including social advocacy and social policy implementation. 2014-05-20T09:32:03-04:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/16627 Waiting to be Cinderella'd?: Attitudes on Class Differences Among Women 2014-12-11T13:38:18-05:00 Leila Wood firstname.lastname@example.com Carol Hostetter email@example.com Sabrina W. Sullenberger email@example.com This article explores the way in which college students construct attitudes about class differences among women. Social work student researchers interviewed 30 college students at a Midwestern public university and asked them to tell stories about women in two different social class positions. The results revealed that social class differences are constructed based on factors related to family of origin, personality, structural inequities, personal choices and relationships, as well as other intersecting experiences. In addition, participant stories highlighted gendered attitudes towards women in poverty. Implications for social science teaching, practice, and research are discussed. 2014-11-07T11:55:33-05:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/16477 Social Distancing of Depressive and Panic Disorders in an International Sample of Social Work Students 2014-12-11T13:38:19-05:00 Donna S. Wang email@example.com Scott Smith firstname.lastname@example.com Chris R. Locke email@example.com : Using an international sample, this study examined what variables were associated with social distancing among social work students. A total of 1,042 students from seven universities in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia participated in a cross-sectional paper and pencil survey that applied the Social Distancing Scale to case vignettes describing an individual with panic disorder or major depressive disorder. The results show that levels of social distancing were related to age, knowing someone with a mental illness, type of disorder, level of conservatism, race, country, professional interest in mental health, level of student, and sex. Overall, 16.8% of the variance was accounted for with these significant variables. Implications for social work education and future research are discussed. 2014-06-30T09:40:29-04:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/16441 What is the Role of Social Work in China? A Multi-Dimensional Analysis 2014-12-11T13:38:20-05:00 Jieru Bai email@example.com This article analyzes the role of social work in the context of the special political, economic, cultural, and historical background in China. A historical perspective is used to understand the evolution of the Chinese welfare system and explain the timing of reintroducing the social work profession. A pluralistic perspective is adopted to define social work relating to different stakeholders in social welfare and services. The government starts to diminish its role as a direct service provider. The traditional family and community have less capacity to take care of people. Yet, the social work profession is not ready to take over. Finally, a social development perspective is used to illustrate why economic growth is prioritized by the Chinese government and social work as profession is supposed to work to promote social stability and prosperity. Implications for social work research and practice are discussed. 2014-07-02T14:44:12-04:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/16845 The Impact of an Indiana (United States) Drug Court on Criminal Recidivism 2014-12-11T13:38:22-05:00 John R. Gallagher email@example.com Eric Ivory firstname.lastname@example.com Jesse Carlton firstname.lastname@example.com Hon. Jane Woodward Miller email@example.com This study evaluated a drug court located in a metropolitan area of Indiana (United States), focusing specifically on identifying variables that predicted recidivism among drug court participants and comparing criminal recidivism patterns among drug court and probation participants. Drug court participants were most likely to recidivate if they were younger, had a violation within the first 30 days of the program, had a previous criminal record, and were terminated unsuccessfully from the program. Furthermore, drug court participants were less likely to recidivate than probationers who had similar offense and demographic characteristics. Implications for drug court practice, policy advocacy, and future research are discussed. 2014-07-15T09:45:39-04:00 Copyright (c) http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/advancesinsocialwork/article/view/17059 Aging in Rural Appalachia: Perspectives from Geriatric Social Service Professionals 2014-12-11T13:38:23-05:00 Natalie D. Pope firstname.lastname@example.com Diane N. Loeffler email@example.com D. Lee Ferrell email@example.com This paper uses qualitative methodology to explore the experience of growing old in rural Appalachia. Given the growing population of older adults seeking and utilizing services, it is important to understand the challenges and specific needs related to aging. Within the context of rural Appalachia, these challenges and needs may be different than those in urban areas or areas outside of the region itself. From interviews with 14 geriatric service providers in rural southeast Ohio, the authors were able to identity three prevalent themes associated with aging in rural North Central Appalachia: scarcity of resources, valuing neighbors and family, and the prevalence of drug use. These findings suggest that preparation and ongoing training of rural geriatric social workers should include attention to topics such as substance abuse and strengthening social support networks that often exist in these regions. 2014-09-23T09:57:56-04:00 Copyright (c)

- Genitive quantifiers in Japanese as reverse partitives (2004)
- Quantificational determiners in Japanese can be marked with genitive case. Current analyses (for example by Watanabe, Natural Language and Linguistic Theory, to appear) treat the genetive case marker in these cases as semantically vacuous, but we show that it has semantic effects. We propose a new analysis as reverse partitives. Following Jackendoff (MIT-Press, 1977), we assume that partitives always contain two NPs one of which is phonologically deleted. We claim that, while in normal partitives the higher noun is deleted, in reverse partitives the lower noun is deleted.

- Blocking resultative secondary predication in Russian (2004)
- The paper explains the absence of resultative secondary predication in Russian as arising from a conflict of inferential interpretations. It formalises the framework necessary to express this proposal in terms of abductive reasoning with Poole systems in Gricean contexts. The conflict is shown to arise for default rules regulating alternative realisation of verb-internally specified consequent states. The paper thus indicates that typological variation may be due not only to different parameter values but to general inferential properties of the syntax-semantics mapping. The proposed theory also contradicts some widespread proposals that the absence of resultative secondary predication is due to the absence of some particular language feature.

text: GamesBeat Scoreloop to provide social platform for mobile games on Taiwanese carrier August 17, 2010 7:00 AM Dean Takahashi 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Scoreloop has scored an interesting deal for its social platform for mobile games. The Munich-based company is announcing today that it will provide a social gaming hub to Taiwanese phone carrier Chunghwa Telecom. That will help Scoreloop's mobile social game platform reach millions of users in the fast-growing Asian mobile game market. The deal with Chungwha's Spring House Entertainment division is the first where Scoreloop is licensing its platform to a mobile carrier, which wants gamers to flock to its mobile gaming site and then stay there because of social networking features that are built into it. Scoreloop provides the social game platform, akin to a white-label technology provider, that Spring House Entertainment can market as its own branded social hub. "We're uniting users with one social gaming platform," said Spring House Entertainment executive vice president Leo Lee. "Scoreloop's solution surpasses similar initiatives such as Apple's Game Center both in features and reach, as they let us bring this to users across multiple platforms. We're thrilled to bring these features to developers and users alike." Chungwha's Spring House Entertainment is the first of a number of potential customers for Scoreloop in the Asian mobile market, said Marc Gumpinger, chief executive of Scoreloop, in an interview. Scoreloop's platform lets game developers build social features into their games. Those features include leaderboards, multiplayer challenges, and cross promotions. It's often easier for developers to "socialize" their games with Scoreloop than it is to build the functionality themselves. So many game developers have adopted the Scoreloop platform on the iPhone and Android that the company says it is getting more than 100,000 new players per day. Game developers wanting their games to be represented in the Spring House Entertainment hub, will have to use Scoreloop's software development kit, which will be customized for Spring House Entertainment. "Everyone wants to have a Game Center like Apple," Gumpinger said. "This relationship is the blueprint for that." The whole point is to take the inherent virality of a platform such as Facebook and bring it into social games. The first group of games that will enter Spring House Entertainment's Taiwan App Market with Scoreloop social features will be from game developers Dreamsky Technology, Boolba Labs and Goodteam Studio. When users play games from those studios, the games will be able to suggest other games in the Scoreloop platform. In this fashion, Scoreloop is attacking the fundamental problem of app discovery: it's becoming harder and harder to get noticed when there are hundreds of thousands of competing apps. One of the best ways to cut through the noise is through social recommendations. That's the topic at our upcoming DiscoveryBeat conference in San Francisco on Oct. 18. Scoreloop has 35 employees and has raised more than $3 million in funding. Rivals include Aurora Feint, Ngmoco, and PapayaMobile. More than 2,500 developers are using Scoreloop's technology. VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

Don't judge a book by its cover
Hello everyone. My name is Jason and I'm a laid back, sweet, honest, loyal Christian man. I have no drama in my life. I'm a family oriented man and would like to settle down some day with the right girl and start a family with her. I'm a strong believe in God and I go to church. I believe that true happiness is not based on how much money someone makes or what they look like physically. True happiness is when two people love each other for the kind of person they are and how they treat each other. I'm looking for a sweet Christian girl who believes these same things. The girl I'm looking for must be able to be contempt with the simple things in life. Life is too short to worry about materialistic things. I don't have a lot of money to offer in a relationship, but I promise to treat the girl I'm in a relationship with with respect and let her know every day how much I love her. If you're the kind of girl who is reading my profile and believes all these things too, then I would like to get to know you and see where things go.

Make your destiny, don't let it make you.
I would have to describe myself as honest, outgoing, upfront, and easy going person who lives life to the fullest. I don't take anything for granted because life is too short, and I have worked extremely hard to get were I am today so I appreciate the little things and enjoy every moment. I am super grateful for having the most amazing loving family I could ever ask for. Family is definitely one of the most important things in my life so It is a must that a girl has the same outlook on family.I like to do just about anything either it be going bowling, playing pool, seeing movie , going to dinner or even just relaxing home on the couch cuddling. I am looking to meet a girl with similar interests and goals in life like myself. A person who is very affectionate is a must, has a positive outlook on life,also a girl who has goals and is motivated and knows what she wants for the future. I am a very passionate person with everything I do, I do not half ass anything. I am serious about being healthy and physically fit as well. I am looking for a person who I can just mesh with and be myself around. If you want to know more about me just send me an e mail :)

One of the world's funniest people is also one of the world's biggest baseball fans.
Comedian Jerry Seinfeld says he thinks about baseball all the time and that he's fascinated by almost anything related to the sport and to his favorite team -- the New York Mets.
Seinfeld is currently preparing for the fifth season of his popular web series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, and producing "single-shot" mini-episodes on various topics, the next of which, on marriage, will be on the site Thursday afternoon.
We talked to Jerry on Wednesday and got his thoughts on all things baseball.
What was your first baseball memory?
It's a cliché, but walking through the tunnel at Shea Stadium of a night game, seeing that color -- the green and the seats and the lights. My cousin, who was much older than me, took me. My dad wasn't a sports fan. I was probably 10 or 11, and when those lights hit you and you see the green grass -- that's my first really powerful baseball moment. I remember getting a new pair of sneakers and saving them for that day, because I wanted a new pair of sneakers for my first time going to see a baseball game. They were white Keds.
When did you get really into it?
I was 11 or 12 years old. We had a huge orange La-Z-Boy recliner downstairs in my house on Long Island, and I just started watching the Mets. I fell in love with them instantly. I never liked the American League. The Yankees weren't my kind of team. I loved the Mets, the players they had and the way they played. I still love them.
How did you gravitate to having Tommie Agee as a favorite player?
Believe it or not, I was very fast when I was a kid. And I still love anyone that's fast. I love speed. He was one of the great ball hawks of his time. He had a great running style. I also like stylish guys. Also, 1969 with those two catches in the World Series -- he was fun to watch.
Who are some of your other favorite players?
I'm a huge [Curtis] Granderson fan right now. I love [Jacob] deGrom and [Matt] Harvey. I'm hoping Harvey comes back fully. He seems like a great competitor, which I like.
What was your evolution as a fan like as the rest of your life evolved?
There was a period of time in which I really immersed myself in the world of nightclub comedy. When I descended to that world -- there's a line in "The Producers" where Max Bialystock says to Leo Bloom, "In the days to come, you'll see very little of me." That's what happened to me as a stand-up. I just wanted to learn this and be this. I left baseball for most of the '70s and early '80s, and in the mid '80s once I was a real touring act, I really liked that '85 World Series -- Kansas City and the Cardinals. A great series.
Then I started relating my life to their life. The life of a stand-up comic is very similar to that of a baseball player. You perform on this 85 to 93 percent level on a daily basis. You can't give 100 because you've gotta do it every day. When you're that road comic and doing it twice a night or three times a night, the obvious analogy to the season of a baseball player. It's an everyday thing and an up and down thing. It's all about having a short memory and being in the moment of that game.

Ah, the boob. Between the Time Magazine story and my blog, I'm now actually sick of my breasts. In light of that, I thought I should post some of the positive comments from my controversial post (ie: Why The Boob Rocks).
In all seriousness, I got to thinking that while I'm opinionated, I also like to consider myself fair. And in my rebuttal post, (My Boobs Are Taking a Hit. Ouch!) I only singled out the negative comments. My hypnotherapist would be disappointed.
Here are some of my favorites from you guys.
(#1) Breastfeeding rocks !! It helps and makes things easier & it goes even better if you have a husband that helps out & don't see it as a job but as team work! I love my Boobs & Husband!
(#2) It forced me to stop and sit down, rest and think. That was priceless for my sanity. Now that I have #2, same story.
(#3) I'm breastfeeding #4 and feel exactly the same way as the author. Sometimes I feel like it's the only one on one time I get with him! So I AM going to enjoy nursing him, even if that means my three other boys have to learn patience and my husband has to get up to make breakfast.
(#4) Thank you for this article. My husband and I are trying for baby #2 and this helps me to put everything in perspective. I was worried that I would drown in extra childcare duties but maybe it won't be so bad after all! LOL. And I SO miss nursing. Excited to continue with the next child.
What's funny is my blog became a huge debate on a) how the husband should or shouldn't help and b) my selfishness in pushing for my husband to help/wanting to have alone time with my infant and c) breastfeeding while having a glass of wine.
Alcohol is always a controversial topic when it comes to the boob. You already know where I stand. But here are a few more commenters who feel the same as I do. And let's all be grateful we live in a country where we CAN speak our minds, as opposed to a place like, say, Iran (where I would clearly be dead by now). So cheers ladies!
(#5) While pregnant at a nursing class at NY Presbyterian Hospital in NYC I happily learned–As long as you don't pass out, drinking while nursing is fine! Breasts are filters. Placentas are sieves. Drink Up!
(#6) Omg ladies, get a grip! Yes sometimes the toddler has to run amok a bit while I nurse #2 but he hasn't burnt the house down or eaten the dog yet. A glass of wine isn't going to hurt anyone- moms and docs around the world agree. This is my life too- but husband travels so I do a lot of juggling. It was meant to be funny- not as a "everyone do as I do or you're a failure"! Lighten up!
(#7) Get a grip ladies! I found the humor in this article, so should you all. My husband was deployed for the first 8 months of our daughter's life and I'm finally getting a 36 hour break while he takes her to a family wedding and I stay home. Am I selfish? Probably. Am I ecstatic that I'm finally getting a break? Hell yes. I also have a drink while or before or even after I breast feed my daughter (yes we are still breast feeding at 13 months) and she is perfectly healthy, happy, and active. Relax, have a glass of wine yourself, and find the humor.
(#8) Geez girls some of us seem to have our negativity hats on today.Instead of thinking she's being selfish try thinking she's teaching her daughter to be more patient, more self soothing and self sufficient (skills she'll need as she get older) as for her husband…let's see…ummm…she's letting him be a dad! Raising kids is frustrating even for us Mom's and 80% of the time someones not going to step in for us and take over as she clearly says she does for her husband. If this was a piece written by a father who admitted he took a little quite time every day under the guise of doing something else (honestly do you think their "guy stuff" is all work and no play? My husband has admitted it's not and he does some of it to get away from the kids too). Your comments would be quite different and I'm pretty sure the word selfish wouldn't have been uttered.
(#9) Being a mom IS a JOB. Regardless is he works or not, he should help. That's the problem with a lot of dads, they thing they can just push the children off on the mothers because most women fall into that "oh well my husband works" crap. Even if moms do work the men still get a get-out-of-jail-free card simply because they're men. Did any of you ever think that…hmmm…before baby #2 she did spend time with child #1 and now she wants to give baby #2 as much as attention as she can to bond with it more while giving the dad and their daughter time to bond? Didn't you read where she said while her husband goes back to sleep she plays with THEM (being BOTH her children). And drinking ONE GLASS of wine is harmless!
(#10) How dare you call her a "Lazy mom" just because she likes spending one-on-one time with her children, and yes she may be getting a break but she is still bonding with her new child while giving dad and daughter a chance to bond.
(#11) Last feeding happens, then wine time! Best time of the night.Add a Comment

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
This recipe for colcannon is thought to have come to the New World in the 1800s, carried by the great waves of Irish immigration.
YIELD: Serves 2
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch pieces. In a saucepan cover the potatoes with salted water and simmer them, covered, for 15 minutes, or until they are tender. While the potatoes are simmering, in a steamer set over boiling water steam the cabbage for 5 minutes, or until it is tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander, force them through a ricer or the medium disk of a food mill into a bowl, and stir in the milk, the butter, the cabbage, and salt and pepper to taste.

Btw,I'm not gonna gloat cuz there's nothing to brag about
;it was kind of a no-win situation for Petra b/c it's an embarrassment for a top player to lose to the Mannequin/Fraud...yet there's no reward--other than moving on--if you win.It's sorta like if actors Russell Crowe or Wesley Snipes,who have masqueraded as boxers in the movies,challenged Vitali Klitschko to a match.If either actor even caused a cut on Vitali's face,then all the boxing fans would snicker at him...so he'd have to completely annihilate his foe to get due credit...and even THEN he wouldn't get much
For the record,I've decided to support Caro if she and Petra meet in the final...w/o ANY rancor towards Petra,of course....I just feel that the title would be much more important for Sunshine

Day, Farrell Connect For Overtime Winner; Women's Soccer Defeats Niagara
Oct. 24, 2008
BALTIMORE - elly Farrell beat two Niagara defenders in the corner and sent a hard cross across the box where Lea Day put a head on the ball, driving it into the back of the net, and the Loyola women's soccer team beat the Purple Eagles, 2-1, less than three minutes into overtime in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference game on Friday afternoon.
The Greyhounds (6-5-4 overall, 4-0-2 MAAC) maintained possession in the first few minutes of overtime, but Niagara (11-5-1, 4-3-0) had an opportunity to clear the ball to midfield.
Theresa Ferraina, however, stepped to the Purple Eagles' clear and held the ball in. After maneuvering free of a defender, she sent the ball to Farrell in the far right corner.
Niagara sisters Jennifer and Laura Kimoto pinned down Farrell, but she slipped one and then eluded the other. Dribbling along the endline, she struck a hard, waist-high pass across the box to a waiting Day.
Day's strong header went well past of a diving Ashleigh Bowers and into the right side of the net 2:56 into overtime.
"We had a great team effort on offense in overtime," Head Coach Katherine Vettori said. "We battled for balls, and then Kelly Farrell made a great play in the corner to get around two defenders and send a perfect cross to Lea. She made a great play to leave no doubt about her header going in."
Niagara put the Greyhounds at an early disadvantage, as Erin Baker served a long pass that went past the Loyola defense. Stephanie Gartley ran onto the ball and beat Loyola goalkeeper Brittany Henderson one-on-one with a shot into the upper right portion of the goal, giving the Purple Eagles a 1-0 lead 8:55 into the match.
Loyola responded, however, holding off further Niagara advances in the first half.
With under five minutes remaining before halftime, Ferraina played a ball down the left side of the 18-yard box only to have it knocked over the endline by a Niagara defender.
Ferraina took the corner kick and sent it just outside the six. Keri Iheagwara made a play on the ball for Loyola, but it was deflected out to the top of the 18 by a Purple Eagles' defender.
Kelly Thomas settled the ball and took two touches before blasting a shot on goal. Bowers got her fingers on the ball, but Thomas' shot was too hard, and it went into the top left-corner of the net, tying the match at 1-1 41:35 into the contest.
The goal was the first of Thomas' career.
" `K-Tom' played a great game today," Vettori said. "Not only with her goal, but she was outstanding on defense. Niagara's two forwards are very difficult to defend, but our defense did a good job of slowing them down."
After a Emily McElroy header off a Niagara corner kick went just over the goal and away from harm, Loyola began to take the majority of the opportunities in the second half.
Bowers made saves on shots by Thomas and Ferraina, and Farrell took a bending shot from the top of the 18 that Bowers slid right to stop.
McElroy had another chance for the Purple Eagles in the 77th minute, but her shot slid just left of the goal.
With under a minute to play in regulation, Loyola had one of its best offensive chances of the match.
Ferraina beat her defender and started in one-on-one against Bowers. Her touch slid just out of reach, and Bowers was able to make a sliding stop of the ball before Ferraina could take a shot.
Loyola outshot Niagara, 14-5, and the Greyhounds put nine on goal to the Purple Eagles' two. Henderson made one save, while Bowers had seven.
"Our offense played well today, keeping a fairly constant amount of pressure on Niagara, especially in the second half," Vettori said. "Rachel Shuck and `T' (Ferraina) did a good job up top of making things happen."
The Greyhounds continue MAAC play on Sunday when they host Canisius at 1 p.m. Loyola will also honor its Class of 2009 - Kristina Balfoort, Day, Ferraina, Ashley Lunemann, Sarra Moller and Amanda Piccirilli - prior to the match.
