1. Wealden's Performance Management Framework "Strong, effective local organisations and local partnerships will be needed to deliver the outcomes that national government and local people want to see" - Strong and prosperous communities, Local Government White Paper November 2006 This paper maps out the components and principles of the practice of performance management in Wealden District Council. External Drivers Community Strategy Results of public consultation Government Priorities LAA LDF Corporate Corporate Corporate Corporate Objective: Objective: Objective: Objective : to protect and to promote a prosperous and striving for enhance a healthier and sustainable excellence sustainable safer local economy environment community Strategic Decisions of the Council and Cabinet Monitoring by Scrutiny Committees Service Area Targets Staff Appraisals 2
Why performance management? Robust performance management is at the heart of any drive to secure continuous improvement and delivery of high quality services. We can only serve the people and communities of Wealden effectively if we measure and monitor what we do to ensure we are meeting local needs and priorities. The Government and our partners in joint initiatives need to be confident that we can manage our performance effectively to meet targets. To have the best opportunities to speak up for Wealden and show that we are a sound investment for public money, we need to show that Wealden District Council is an efficient and effective organisation. Performance management is therefore key to demonstrating that we provide high quality services whilst securing value for money and the achievement of local and national objectives. What is performance management? Performance management is essentially about: being clear on objectives: how progress on objectives will be measured agreeing on specific actions to achieve them implementing those actions reviewing the result or impact continuous improvement based on outcomes and the findings of such reviews Effective performance management is the combination of systems and culture focussed on local residents' and customers' needs as well as national priorities 3
agreed between central and local government. In doing this we also need to co- ordinate our arrangements with those of our partners for delivery. Public expectations of the quality and value for money of public services rightly continue to rise. To make our contribution to innovation amongst public sector organisations, we must continuously improve what we do. The need for a performance management framework If we cannot see success we cannot learn from it and, equally, if we cannot recognise failure we cannot correct it. Also, local government is heavily dependent upon central government funding regimes which have become more and more performance orientated. If the authority is able to demonstrate how good it is and have that validated externally, it then benefits from being perceived as a sound investment for public money and can expect lighter touch regulation. This may take the form of additional funding or investment or it may be a reduction in requirem ents to produce plans and reports. A sound performance management framework needs to be in place to show how well the Council is achieving its objectives, contributing to national targets and to support sound corporate governance. The essential ingredients for a performance management framework for Wealden are: clear and strong local leadership clear priorities and ambitions having arrangements in place for the timely and accurate reporting of data to ensure that the information can be used effectively in making decisions about our services and activities, in particular rapid correction of underperformance 4
being able to recognise where a service is performing well and having the capability to apply those practices elsewhere in the organisation to raise performance in other areas being able to demonstrate that we have delivered results to gain public support and recognition anticipating and responding to changing environments driven by continually evolving political, economic, social, cultural and technological factors - in particular, anticipating and planning for the impact of these factors on the interests of the people Wealden learning from and applying best practice from outside of the organisation and benchmarking against top performers quality assurance – service managers, local people, Councillors and external bodies being confident that we measure and report our performance accurately and correctly Elements of Performance Management in Wealden The Corporate Plan Under existing arrangements, Best Value Authorities, including Wealden, are legally required to publish an annual Best Value Performance Plan by 30 th June each year. However, authorities judged good, such as Wealden, or excellent in their Comprehensive Performance Assessment are able to use their Corporate Plan to 5
fulfil this duty. The duty may disappear if current proposals in the Local Government & Public Involvement in Health Bill are implemented but the Council will still need to report its performance under the new national performance framework and map its performance against objectives as well as demonstrating its arrangements to secure continuous improvement and value for money. Wealden's Corporate Plan functions to summarise the Council's achievements and targets and assess it direction of travel against its objectives and priorities. It is dynamic in that it plans the Council's future activity over a rolling three year programme and, being primarily web based, is regularly updated to reflect the Council's progress and response to new issues. Notwithstanding the current statutory deadline, the Council's Corporate Plan and associated Service Plans are designed to be used from the beginning of the financial year. The Plan itself is intended to be accessible to a relatively wide audience for this type of document. Detailed aspects are therefore contained in appendices for: Appendix A - Service Plans for each of the Council's 12 service areas Appendix B - Details of performance against Best Value Performance Indicators and local indicators Appendix C - Background information describing the key structures of the Council and the various partnership arrangements within which it operates Service Plans Each of the Council's 12 service areas produce annual Service Plans in conju nction with the Corporate Plan. Service Improvement Plans set out the key improvement actions for the service during the financial year. In managing their area's performance Service Heads also manage their budgets to enable delivery. 6
Service improvement planning in relation to initiatives coming out of Best Value or other service performance reviews is applied through Service Plans as well as implementation of adopted inspection recommendations. Performance Reporting Performance reporting in addition to statutory returns principally involves the submission of performance data each quarter to Cabinet which is subsequently considered with Cabinet's observations and recommendations, by the Scrutiny Committees with regard to performance indicators within their remit every six months. The Portfolio Holder for Performance Management makes recommendations in the report to Cabinet accompanied by the comments of Portfolio Holders on performance within their individual Portfolios. The Council's performance against performance indicators is updated in electronic performance indicator report sheets published around the same time as the report to Cabinet. In order that performance can be reported quarterly, Service Heads are responsible for providing data to the Policy and Review Service (Malcolm Harris - Ex 3744 is the current Policy Officer contact) by the seventh day of the month following the end of the quarter or the first working day thereafter should it fall on a weekend or bank holiday. Exceptions to this requirement are only made in respect of data not being available from external sources and in these instances data must be provided at the earliest opportunity. 7
In co-ordination with internal reporting arrangements, Best Value Performance Indicator data and other data required by Government Departments and the Audit Commission, such as Planning Statistics 2 and Housing Investment Programme returns, must be provided in good time to enable the Council to meet the relevant statutory deadlines. All returns should be copied at the time of submission to the Policy Officer dealing with performance management so that the Council has a full picture of its performance. Performance Indicators Performance indicators used by the Council to measure and report its performance fall into two broad categories of nationally prescribed indicators and local indicators. National performance indicators are largely prescribed by statute and the Council has a legal duty to collect and report them. They principally comprise Best Value Performance Indicators (BVPIs) but they also include indicators reported under various national monitoring regimes such as for planning, housing and benefits. Significantly, non-BVPI indicators featured in the external audit of indicators in the Summer of 2006. Because the Council is not assessed on BVPI data alone it is important that the Policy and Review Team are provided with timely copies of all data reported to Government departments and agencies (e.g. Housing Investment Programme data) and local partnerships (e.g. the East Sussex Local Area Agreement) to ensure that this is all captured within the Council's performance management data base. Also, relevant data can be fed into Cabinet and Scrutiny reports to provide the Council with a 3600 overview of key issues. A new statutory performance indicator regime can be expected from 2008/09. 8
Local performance indicators are those where there is not a national statutory requirement to collect them but where they have been adopted or devised by the Council to provide a more informed picture of performance in key areas. In some instances these will have been developed with partners in other authorities and organisations or through professional bodies. Local indicators often feature in reports to Members but in some instances may be so specialised or technically detailed to have significance only at service management level. These are sometimes referred to as 'management indicators'. The collation and reporting of data nationally and regionally has been developing not only on a statutory basis. For example, the Audit Commission's Area Profiles web- pages gather data from many sources to provide a data portrait of our District. On a more detailed level, East Sussex in Figures is growing as a data observatory for the County providing information for very precisely identified locations over a comprehensive range of subjects. The County wide perspective is increasing in significance with the implementation of the Local Area Agreement (LAA) and the reporting of performance, often using BVPIs, against the Agreement's targets. In addressing the Council's objectives and priorities, these multiple resources need to be taken into account. Their utilisation is evident in Cabinet's and Scrutiny Committee's use of performance information and CMT's application of the new service performance analysis tool introduced under new arrangements for Comprehensive Performance Assessment of district councils. Furthermore, performance reporting relating to LAAs is likely to be part of the statutory set up after 2009. 9
Performance Targets and Standards To measure our progress towards and attainment of local and national objectives, the Council needs to set targets for its performance indicators. Some targets are statutorily prescribed and others are at the Council's discretion. Targets show local people how we intend to improve in future and what service improvements it is reasonable to expect. At a wider level, central Government analyses national and regional targets to predict the future performance of local government. Targets are also used by auditors and inspectors as evidence of ambition and future priorities. They enable us to give auditors and inspectors a 'snapshot' to understand what expectations of Wealden would be reasonable given the resources available to us. 'Performance standards' are those standards in respect of BVPIs that must be met by the Council. Failure to meet a performance standard will normally be judged as a failure to achieve Best Value for the particular service involved. There are presently performance standards relating to recycling and composting, and planning. Top-quartile targets are those for which local authorities should aim to reach the performance level of the top quartile of performers nationally in the previous financial year's outturns. Top-quartile targets have been set for BVPIs measuring performance on Council Tax and Business Rate (NNDR) collection, staff sickness, early and ill health retirements. Top quartile statistics for these BVPIs are available on the Department for Local Government and Communities' Local Government Performance web-pages. Targets are also set for the payment of invoices and the benefits service. 10
As a Best Value Authority Wealden is required to set targets for all other BVPIs which do not have nationally-set targets. Targets need to be challenging but realistic given local circumstances and the resources available. With regard to both national and local indicators, targets should be set three years ahead and rolled forward when revising the Corporate Plan. Only setting targets one year in advance would suggest a lack of strategic thinking. It is acknowledged, however, that third year targets may have a 'blue sky' quality. Targets for indicators concerned with the cost of providing a service should allow for inflation and the Treasury's GDP deflator (sic) should be used. Reporting of financial BVPIs should be in accordance with the CIPFA Code of Practice in Best Value Accounting. Under the code, Best Value Authorities are required to account on the basis of 'total cost', rolling in capital charges. Data Quality The Council's values include conducting our business in the public interest with integrity, being even-handed, open and accountable. Performance indicators are an open measure of how we conduct that business and our integrity is undermined if we cannot demonstrate that we have collected data accurately and in compliance with prescribed definitions and guidance. Failure to deliver compliant data can have serious consequences such as the loss of central Government grant or not being able to benefit from freedoms and flexibilities which may be available to authorities which have demonstrated good performance through compliant systems. Data quality is also important within the Council itself. Clear decision making can only be done with clear information. The effective management of our business to 11
meet local needs with the limited resources available to us relies upon up to date accurate and compliant data. It is the responsibility of all Heads of Service to have arrangements in place to record and return the relevant data in accordance with prescribed requirements and ensure that they and their staff are up to date with current requirements. Directors and Portfolio Holders depend upon reliable data for strategic decision making and also seek to ensure the accuracy and compliance of the Council's reported data. Data quality procedural notes should be available in all departments and systems in place to record and demonstrate how data is produced and to provide audit trails. Checks on data quality are undertaken as part of a corporate review of indicators for preparation of the Corporate Plan and as part of the Audit Role. Having accurate data of a reliable quality will receive even greater emphasis in view of the Government's ambition, outlined in the White Paper, to report more up to date information nationally. Data Security and Freedom of Information Alongside the quality and timeliness of data must be placed arrangements for it to be held legally and securely and for it to be publicly accessible in accordance with relevant legislation. To maintain the integrity of data, Heads of Service should arrange for its secure retention and maintenance. Records of calculations should be retained to provi de a clear audit trail to explain, when required, how reported performance outturns are arrived at. Performance information used be the Council generally seeks to summarise trends in our performance. It should not be forgotten, however, that this information is collated from data referring to individual service users or residents. In 12
producing, recording and reporting performance information the Council's duties under data protection and freedom of information legislation should be observed with reference to the following: Information Security Policy Wealden's Data Protection Registry Entry Staff Freedom of Information Handbook Common Sense Good quality data is the essential ingredient for reliable performance and financial information to support decision making. The data used to report on performance must be fit for purpose, and represent Wealden's activity in an accurate and timely manner. At the same time there must be a balance between the use and importance of the information as well as the cost of collecting the requested data to the specified level of accuracy. Multiple requests for the same data and evidence to support it sometimes appear to show a lack of joined up thinking on the part of the external bodies requesting it. Whilst the Council will always aim to be helpful in meeting requests for data it will be concerned where inordinate requests make unnecessary calls on what are public resources provided for the delivery of services to the public. 13
Joining it all up The Golden Thread The adoption of a Performance Management Framework is an academic exercise if it is not integrated within all levels of the Council's activity including working with partners. Management of performance must be co-ordinated from the strategic level of the Council's role in the Wealden Local Strategic Partnership and in playing its part in the East Sussex Local Area Agreement down to the day job for individual employees and embodied in the staff appraisal system. This integrated approach is commonly described as 'the golden thread'. 14
Performance Cycle To sustain continuous improvement the Council's Performance Management Framework tracks the process of planning, implementing and delivering priorities. Most importantly, it also assesses the outcomes of delivery both in terms of protecting and improving the quality of life in the District and how its performance is evaluated by the Government and the Audit Commission. Inputs: Wealden Outputs: Outcomes: Public District Services Improved satisfaction Council quality of life? Initiatives Cabinet Ward PRIORITIES Satisfaction CMT Local Members survey results targets District and met? Government County LSPs targets met? Public funding Scrutiny Delivery towards LAA Fee income targets Government. Internal Controls LDF delivery Departments Audit Commission e.g. DCLG Integration with partners The new Government White Paper on local government indicates that the Council will be closely assessed on its ability to perform a place shaping role. Crucial to this is the effective management of its relations with partners to deliver joint priorities for the District. This in turn is dependent upon performance management arrangements being carefully integrated between partners. The Council is already reporting and assessing its contribution to attaining LAA targets on a quarterly basis where practicable. 15
National monitoring The Council has evaluated its performance against national BVPI quartile data over a number of years. The District Council CPA framework requires us to be aware of how the individual elements of our service performance information contribute to the overall evaluation of the Council in comparison with all other district councils. Furthermore our stated performance provides the evidence of our direction of travel. Future Development Assessment of the Council's achievements and direction of travel needs to look at three factors: Progress towards corporate objectives and priorities Performance indicators Financial monitoring 16
The CPA framework integrates assessment of a council's use of its resources with assessment of its service performance. In performance monitoring and reporting, Wealden has worked to join up these factors, for example in featuring budgetary data in Service Plans and reporting on financial measures to the Internal Scrutiny Committee. The Council's performance management will seek to further integrate the assessment of outputs and outcomes alongside the financial resources used to achieve them within the Medium Term Financial Strategy as well as the delivery of value for money. A particular initiative will be combining quarterly financial monitoring with the reporting of performance. The Local Government White Paper Strong and Prosperous Communities points to the development of CPA into Comprehensive Area Assessment and the rationalisation of the national of performance regime from 2008/09. Wealden's future arrangements are therefore likely to tie in more closely with partnership reporting systems and the convergence of national and local priorities. 17

Meghan Linsey Announces 'Believer' EP
Meghan Linsey, formerly of Steel Magnolia and The Voice's Season 8 runner-up, has announced a new EP, Believer.
Meghan Linsey, formerly of Steel Magnolia and The Voice's Season 8 runner-up, has announced a new EP, Believer.
The wait for Kip Moore's sophomore project is almost over! Due to meager chart success with what were supposed to be the first two singles from the album, Moore decided to scrap his first attempt at the record and start over -- and what came from the long journey is a record that he's extremely proud of: Wild Ones.
Nine years ago today (July 18, 2006) was a significant day for Eric Church. It was on this day that Church's freshman album, Sinners Like Me, was released on Capitol Nashville.
Toby Keith has announced the release date for his new album, 35 MPH Town, which will be the follow-up to his Drinks After Work record.
If you follow Canada's country music scene, you may have heard Bobby Wills' name before: The Calgary, Alberta, native was the 2013 winner of both the Canadian Country Music Awards Rising Star trophy and the Alberta Country Music Association's Male Artist of the Year award, and his third album, Crazy Enough, dropped in Canada in January. In the United States, Wills is still relatively unknown, but like Terri Clark, Hank Snow and Carolyn Dawn Johnson before him, the singer-songwriter is now looking to expand his career south of the (Canadian) border.
Brooke Hogan might be best known as the daughter of professional wrestler Hulk Hogan and a reality TV show star (Hogan Knows Best, Brooke Knows Best), but she has also dabbled in music. After releasing two pop albums, 2006's Undiscovered and 2009's The Redemption, the 27-year-old says that she has moved to Nashville to work on a new project.
Jason Aldean's Old Boots, New Dirt album isn't even a year old yet, but the country music hitmaker is already back in the studio, working on what will be his seventh studio album.
Kenny Rogers has an early Christmas gift for his fans. The 76-year-old has announced he will release a new holiday-themed album, Once Again It's Christmas, marking his first Christmas record in 17 years.
Jerrod Niemann is putting the finishing touches on his upcoming new album, but he isn't worried about fitting into any of the current trends in country music. The singer-songwriter says that he is trying to find songs that resonate with him, regardless of if he thinks they have radio potential.
Daryle Singletary hasn't released a new album since 2009's Rockin' in the Country, but the singer is back with a new project.

The Santa Barbara International Film Festival will honor Jennifer Lawrence with its Outstanding Performer of the Year Award in February. With a special tribute celebrating the Oscar-nominated actress's performances in "The Hunger Games" and "Silver Linings Playbook," Sbiff will make particular note of the disparate roles Lawrence has played in films such as "Winter's Bone," "Like Crazy" and "The Beaver." "Ms. Lawrence impressed us earlier this year in 'The Hunger Games,'" said Sbiff executive director Roger Durling. "But has now left us moonstruck with her career-defining performance in 'Silver Linings Playbook.' Naming her our Outstanding Performer of the Year is an understatement."

I ordered about 40 of these knobs for our new home. I picked them out in the store, but then had to order the rest because the store didn't have the amount I needed. I waited quite a few weeks for them to come in and once we finally put them on our cabinets, I was so so happy. They are beautiful knobs! But days later, they began cracking/shattering and falling off! We even tried loosening them up on the cabinets, but it still didn't help. It's like they just aren't a strong enough material to withstand the pressure of being against the cabinet? They are a very thin link, hollow material. I was so sad and disappointed. I returned them all and now I'm trying to figure out another type of knob to purchase. These would be perfect if they were a stronger quality. P.S. I love Hobby Lobby. I've bought so much stuff for our new home from there. But they just need to know that these knobs are just a very poor quality.

Sister's generosity far cry from elder abuse
Wealthy sibling charges ill elderly mother $1,000 a month to live with her.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
I have a wealthy sister who charges my ill, elderly mother $1,000 a month to live with her. Mom is not wealthy, although she has a pension; the rent amounts to 25 per cent of her income. When my dad was alive, she even made my parents pay for a concrete driveway that went to the door that an ambulance could use if they became ill. My mother is upset as she has other adult children who rely on her for support. Am I out of line or is this elder abuse?
You are out of line. Way out.
Let me explain how households work. A bunch of people live in the same house, and everyone contributes to making the collective viable. Young kids and others with no financial resources should be expected to contribute in non-monetary ways: clean up dishes after supper, help with laundry, mow the lawn. Those with incomes put money into the pot, out of which rent or mortgages are funded, groceries purchased, utilities paid, and so on.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. The ancient Greeks called a household an oikos — from which we derive our word "economy." And like any other economy, households only work when everyone both contributes and benefits.
The fact that your sister is wealthy is irrelevant, except for the resentment her success has generated in you. Your mom has an income, and the amount she is putting into household expenses is reasonable and well within her means. Most people would be thrilled to get room and board for 25 per cent of their income.
Have you looked at what it would cost your mom to live in a decent seniors' residence? You'd be lucky to find anything for even four times what she's paying at your sister's house. So your sister isn't gouging her — far from it. All she's asking is a share of the cost of groceries and electricity, an amount far less than she'd pay anywhere else.
But you label your sister's generosity "elder abuse." There's nothing abusive here, except perhaps that your mom is being unfairly dragged into petty squabbling amongst siblings.
You say mom is upset because other children rely on her for support? Well, I suspect that you and your sibs, resentful of the one sister who has "made it," are feeding that upset. None of you is willing and/or able to take care of mom, yet you think it appropriate for your sister to do it for nothing, while other siblings dip into the gravy train called "mom" — all because they are unable or unwilling to take care of themselves.
I'm sorry this sounds harsh. But too many so-called-adult "children" these days are still sucking on mommy's financial teats, all because they refuse to take responsibility for their own well-being. Your one sister has done well, and now she's doing good: she's providing your mom with a comfortable home, meals and care in return for a modest contribution to the family budget. That seems like a perfectly reasonable adult arrangement.
Instead of criticizing, your energy would be better spent helping mom understand what a good deal she's getting, and encouraging your siblings to take care of themselves.

Finest Certified 1823 Half Dollar, O-107, MS67
1823 50C MS67 NGC. Ex: Eliasberg/Kaufman. O-107. R.2. The
obverse of this piece is perfect without die cracks, clash marks,
or other defects. The reverse has a crack from the border below the
5, curving up to the left through the olive leaves, wing tip, and
bottoms of UNITED, continuing faintly through STATES to the border
over O. Overton described this as a late die state, but does not
distinguish between the different states in his reference,
currently in its fourth edition through the work of Donald
Ex: Eliasberg/Kaufman
In Stephen Herrman's Auction & Mail Bid Prices Realized for Bust Half Dollars, three recent auction appearances are recorded, all for MS64 examples, including this Superb Gem that was graded MS64 in the 1997 Eliasberg catalog. It is far and away the finest known example of the die combination.
Light golden-brown toning does little to hide the incredible mint frost that covers the obverse and reverse surfaces. Both sides have delicate blue toning at the borders, with hints of lighter gold. The strike is exceptional, with every individual detail fully impressed, and with excellent centering as evidenced by the complete obverse and reverse borders. Pristine surfaces have only the slightest marks, none that are obvious to the naked eye. This piece is the only 1823 half dollar that NGC or PCGS has certified MS67, regardless of variety.

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.

Parents who want a way to talk so little ears can't hear have moved beyond s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g in favor of a new kid-proof system: the text message.
E-mail, text and instant messaging have become the go-to technology for parents on family outings or at the end of a long day, when mom's chilling on the couch in front of the TV and dad's reading in the bedroom more than a whisper away.
"There was a time when I would get really upset if I was IMed from another room in the house. Now it's a complete parental survival tool," says KellyAnn Bonnell, whose kids are 10 and 15.
Tammy Gold, a parenting coach in Short Hills, N.J., says phones and online tools are particularly important in tight spaces like apartments, where there are fewer secluded spots, and especially with older kids who stay up as late or later than the grown-ups.
"I've had parents who say it's weeks before they can speak," she says. "Parents these days put `sex' into each other's phones or else it won't happen."
Parents in a two-BlackBerry household can use the company's free text service or rely on the messaging features on Facebook since they're logging on frequently anyway. Others have come up with languages all their own.
"Should we partake in a visit to the place with aluminum obstacles or cages containing mammals?" Greg Abel and his wife value their synonyms — that's the playground and zoo — when their kids are listening, especially when more open discussion would likely lead to a sibling spat or major disappointment.
"We have a bright 5-year-old who can spell, so we can't spell out words in front of him," said Abel, from Baltimore, Md. "If we're trying to decide if we should give him ice cream, but only after his younger brother has gone to bed, we might say, `Should we give the elder a frozen confection?'"
With a 2-year-old, Melissa Kaupke in Nashville, Tenn., can still spell that and lots of other things, but she wishes her husband was on board with her own parents' secret language of "Ob." You know the one — http://bit.ly/az19n4 — it sounds like you've got rocks in your mouth.
"My parents always used Ob," she says. "My dad's parents did the same thing when he was little. Unfortunately, my husband thinks it's too silly to do, because it works really well."
Mom-of-three Amy Wilson, who wrote the off-Broadway hit "Mother Load" and has a new book out about mothering called "When Did I Get Like This?" relies on e-mail in tight spots, especially when her pack — ages 2,5 and 7 — was younger.
"I have used it while my husband is driving," she said. "I'm in the passenger seat, and the baby is asleep in back. All of my kids were so attuned to my voice that if I talked at all, they would wake up. So I would sit and look out the window, and as the married couple to-dos occurred to me I would e-mail them to my husband, sitting not even an arm's length away."
Foreign languages, made up or the regular kind, are not only handy but can whip up interest in kids who want in on the secret.
"My wife and I were both French instructors, so we spoke French around our two children," says Robert Magnan of Madison, Wis., of his now grown kids. "Since they didn't understand French, the system worked well. It also motivated them both to learn French and become fluent in it."
Jessica Gottleib, the mother of an 11-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old son in Los Angeles, grew up with elders who spoke German when they didn't want the kids to hear.
"As soon as we heard `der kinder' we'd start listening," she says. "I still can't speak it, but I know when my dad is talking about me, and I know exactly what he's saying. I wish we spoke another language."
Instead, she and her husband text at home for ears-only chats and aren't above a little incentive to keep their confabs confidential.
"We usually just send them out of the room and then whisper, though we've been known to give them a dollar if they scat faster."
Not everyone's on board the technology train in excluding kids. Sharon Hirsch, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at the University of Chicago Medical Center, thinks parents lose a lot when they rely too much on instant technology.
"Texting or e-mailing is fine for brief informational exchanges like I'm picking up Jimmy at 7," she said. "But the best way to communicate complex ideas, issues and concepts is directly, face to face. You don't do that in an IM."

Sacramento Kings: Team Is Much Better Than Record Suggests
The Sacramento Kings are 4-10 on the season. That's something Kings fans have, unfortunately, grown accustomed to the past few seasons. This team is also fighting through the adversity without pointing fingers, that's a new wrinkle in the format because past Kings teams would have folded. Analysts say this team a year off from playoff contention, the Kings are hoping to reverse that this season.
DeMarcus Cousins has been a standout in what should lead to an All-Star caliber season. Cousins leads the team in four categories including scoring averaging 21.6 points per game while also leading the team in rebounds at 10.4 per game steals and blocks per game. He's the only player in the NBA to hit those marks this season. Cousins joins Kevin Love and Blake Griffin as the only players averaging at least 21 points and 10 rebounds per game, not bad company.
You could also factor in the solid Western Conference powers the Kings have faced to start to season. The Kings rank 1st in strength of schedule according to ESPN. Unfortunately, going toe to toe with some of the giants in the West has done damage as the team sits last in the loaded Pacific division.
But the numbers and the current record tell you that the Kings aren't too far off the mark here. And that's the truth. This team still has its shortcomings, case in point are the 13 turnovers per game the Kings average, tops in the association. Sacramento can turn that around in one fell swoop by first beating their regional rivals, the Golden State Warriors Sunday. Couple that with some deadline day trades and Sacramento could be flirting with playoff contention a year ahead of schedule.

What a Girl Needs From Her Father
Giving Unconditional Love
Giving Unconditional Love
Maybe more than anything else, a daughter needs her father's unconditional love. Love covers a multitude of sins and mistakes. I asked a good friend of mine how her father influenced her regarding dating and boys. She told me she never really had a very strong desire to date all that much. She said, "I was celebrated as a child and showered with unconditional love by my father. Consequently, I wasn't hungry for male love because I had it growing up."Our daughters need to know that we would literally give our lives for them if necessary. We express our love to them in two ways: telling them and then showing them by our actions. If you haven't already told your daughter that you love her so much you would be willing to die for her, I would encourage you to do so. That is an important thing to know, and you (and her mother) might be the only people in the world who would be willing to make that sacrifice for her.

Omar Cummings' goal in second-half stoppage time has secured Houston Dynamo a 2-2 draw with New York Red Bulls in the MLS playoffs.
In the Eastern Conference semi-final first leg, the Red Bulls led 2-0 at half-time at Houston's BBVA Compass Stadium but the home side fought back after the break, helped by a red card to New York defender Jamison Olave, to snatch a draw.
With the away goals rule not used in the playoffs, Houston will start level with the Red Bulls when the second leg kicks off in New York on Wednesday.
The Red Bulls hit the front in the 22nd minute on Sunday when Thierry Henry's cross to the back post found Tim Cahill and the Australian forward powered his header into the top corner.
The visitors doubled their lead 10 minutes later when Cahill fed Eric Alexander in the right-hand channel and the midfielder burst forward, before cutting inside his marker and beating Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall at his near post.
New York were deserved leaders at the break but six minutes into the second half, the Dynamo hit back when Ricardo Clarke controlled a under-hit clearance on the edge of the box and volleyed through a sea of legs into the back of the net.
The goal gave the home fans some voice and lifted Houston, while Olave's straight red for a two-footed challenge into the back of Cummings saw the Dynamo step up another gear.
After failing to convert a number of chances in the final half hour, the Dynamo finally levelled in the 91st minute when Brad Davis' corner was headed towards the bottom corner by Bob Boswell and although New York's goalkeeper Luis Robles made the initial save, he only managed to parry the ball onto Cummings' foot for the equaliser.
In the Western Conference semi-final first leg on Sunday, Los Angeles Galaxy overcame Real Salt Lake 1-0 thanks to a thunderbolt from Sean Franklin.
The reigning MLS Cup champions dominated Real in the first half with seven corners to zero and 73 passes in their attacking third to Salt Lake's 31.
But despite a number of one-on-one opportunities, LA were unable to break the deadlock before half-time with both Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane failing to convert decent chances.
It took just two minutes of the second half for Franklin to give the Galaxy the lead in front of their home crowd with Keane's cut-back finding the full-back, who unleashed a thumping 30-yard strike past Nick Rimando in the visitors' goal.
While Real took more control of the match after going behind, they failed to produce enough quality goal-scoring opportunities and will face a one-goal deficit when they host the Galaxy in the second leg on Wednesday.

Fischer Laments that 'We Have Feminized Public Policy'
The American Family Association's Bryan Fischer was excited today to read about a Public Library of Science One Journal study that finds distinct differences in personality traits between men and women. Although the study did not explore to what extent those differences are due to nature or nurture, and other researchers are already questioning the results, Fischer took the opportunity to expound on his views on the proper role of women in the public sphere.
Two years ago, Fischer provoked national controversy when he said that the United States had "feminized" the Medal of Honor by granting it to those who who have saved lives, not just those who have killed enemy troops. Today he goes back to the theme, claiming that America is in trouble because we have "feminized public policy":
If these differences are as profound as this study suggests, could that be the explanation for why God has designed men to be leaders in the home, leaders in the church and leaders in society? And I would suggest that the answer to that question is, "Yes."
In fact, I'll tell you how we have gotten into trouble in our public policy, is – I don't know how to say this without getting myself in big trouble here – but the way we have gotten in trouble in our public policy is we have gotten away from masculine characteristics of public policy. We have feminized our public policy. Our public policy ought to be about stability, it ought to be about rule consciousness -- that's the rule of law, the same rules apply to everybody, that's what it ought to be about -- and vigilance. Instead, so much of our public policy has been driven by what? Sensitivity, warmth and fear. These are female characteristics, they're feminine characteristics, they should not be the things that guide and control public policy.
So anyway, I probably just got myself in a big mess there, but again that's not me saying it. That's not me saying that men and women have distinct personalities and it's inate, that's a secular outfit, the Public Library of Science One Journal.

On January 1, 2013 one third of Republican congressmen, following their leaders, joined with nearly all Democrats to legislate higher taxes and more subsidies for Democratic constituencies. Two thirds voted no, following the people who had elected them. For generations, the Republican Party had presented itself as the political vehicle for Americans whose opposition to ever-bigger government financed by ever-higher taxes makes them a "country class." Yet modern Republican leaders, with the exception of the Reagan Administration, have been partners in the expansion of government, indeed in the growth of a government-based "ruling class." They have relished that role despite their voters. Thus these leaders gradually solidified their choice to no longer represent what had been their constituency, but to openly adopt the identity of junior partners in that ruling class. By repeatedly passing bills that contradict the identity of Republican voters and of the majority of Republican elected representatives, the Republican leadership has made political orphans of millions of Americans. In short, at the outset of 2013 a substantial portion of America finds itself un-represented, while Republican leaders increasingly represent only themselves. Continue Reading
