Parenting Ups & Downs
By Rebecca Teti
Monday: Parenting
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Terrible toddlers? Trying teens? Something in between? This weekly forum is the spot to share your questions and struggles about all things related to parenthood.
Please join us!
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Sorry if this post looks a bit wonky --I assume it's due to impending site changes. Meanwhile, here's a question a reader left in Friday's discussion that might get more attention here. "Unknown" writes: "I have a daughter receiving her First Holy Communion this year and am interested in chatting with other parents who want to get involved in the preparation but her Catholic School has not been very communicative at all about the celebration of the sacrament and I want to outreach to other parents."
My oldest is 3 & I wasn't raised Catholic, so I have admittedly ZERO experience with this, but have you talked to your Priest? He may (hopefully) be more interested in/serious about the Sacraments than whoever is blowing you off at the school, and probably grateful for parental involvement!
is anyone familiar with how a child gets diagnosed with something like aspergers syndrome? what is the first step?
Josie -- I have a son who is on the Autism spectrum. Our first step was through the pediatrician. She noticed our son wasn't developing speech, gross motor and fine motor skills as quickly as neurotypical children. She put us in touch with our state's Birth to Three program where they did an evaluation. Our son wasn't actually "diagnosed" as being on the spectrum until after he transitioned in to the elementary school system. Meanwhile, the school district created an IEP for him and got him the necessary therapies. Sorry for the long story. Short answer: Talk to your child's pediatrician about your concerns.
Josie--There are many different professionals who may be involved in diagnosing aspergers. I would agree that your pediatrician is the best place to start along with your town's early intervention or special education department. Along the way you may be referred to a host of different specialists--neurologists, developmental pediatricians, neuropsychologists, speech pathologists, OT...The diagnosis itself would make your son qualify for services in the long term, but even without a diagnosis, the different specialists can help you along the way to make sure his needs are addressed. Good luck finding the right help for your son!
Josie, You can also refer your son to your state's birth to three program yourself. The best way to find out how to do that would be to call your local health department. If your child is of school age you can request the school psychologist evaluate your child.
Unknown, At our parish it is the Director of Religious Education who handles all the sacrament preparation logistics, even for those who go to the Catholic school. I know our DRE is always looking for ways to increase communication with the parents and amongst the parents. Perhaps you could talk to your DRE?
Unknown, thanks so much. I have an 8 year old boy that has been expressing certain types of behavior for a few years, it is wearing on us terribly at home lately-getting worse, more heightened, my heart is breaking as it disrupts our family life and my husband and I are at a loss as to how to get through to him and help him. Meanwhile his heart is really as sweet and sensitive as can be when these episodes don't happen. I have been praying for what feels like forever to unlock the key to his heart. It is very difficult to understand what makes him tick. But he has no social issues at school so far and is extremely bright, so it's hard to discern b/c there are so many difficulties with him at home, and so many oddities. It's not "just bad behavior" though, we don't let him get away with anything, but the struggle is just getting greater and greater lately. things can go on for hours, every weekend, problems every morning, every afternoon. He does not process life the way my other children do and he can fly off the handle about the strangest and tiniest of things. He wakes up screaming and yelling nearly every morning. He tells me-cries to me, yells at me, that he doesn't understand what I'm telling him when I ask him to do the simplest tasks. It never occurred to me until today how often he says that. I never believe him b/c it could be so simple like "take the garbage out". I think he's just being disobedient or lazy. But I just realized, he needs detailed written instruction on how to take the garbage out. He's not kidding when he says he doesn't understand. When things are very clear for him (like they are in his classroom b/c his teacher is super organized-I have loved her for my other kids for that reason), he can thrive and function. Oh I could go on and on, so many little things. I want so badly to help him. Thanks so much for the quick reply. I will check with the peds first then, when I gather enough courage. Sorry, that was super long. God bless.
Oh! And others, thank you! I took so long to write that I got more responses in the meantime:). Thanks so very much and God bless.
Josie, I had a thought. Maybe you could make some kind of "household book" , with tabs, that has instructions for procedures and chores that you normally do around the house? Maybe then he could find the correct tab, open the book and read the instructions. If you have a set method like that it might help him to process better. My husband has ADD symptoms and he has told me that when there is too much going on his brain just gets so scrambled that he can't process any more information. I wonder if something like that could be part of it? My husband is perfectly cheerful and easygoing but when things get to be too much he stops listening, or gets angry because things are just coming at him too fast! But when he has more structure, like at work, he does much better.
Hi Josie. I have a son on the autistic spectrum. He is now 21 yrs old and studying to animation at a college in Cape Town, South Africa. My first port of call when he was about 3 years old was the paediatrician and then to a child psychiatrist. He is very bright and a very loving son but he struggles socially is very anxious and obsessive about things. Also has lots of issues with taste and textures. My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com if you ever need a sympathetic ear and some prayer support.
Hi Josie - I'm a speech-language pathologist, and based on your description, it might be helpful to get an assessment of your son's communication skills as a first step - it sounds like it's hard for him when the verbal information isn't broken down into small steps for him. I'm in Canada, so I'm not as familiar with the system in the US for accessing services, but speaking with your child's teacher and/or pediatrician would be a great way to find out about accessing services. Good luck to you, your son, and the rest of your family!
My 10 year old son hates going to mass. He literally gets sick before mass and so sometimes he doesn't go. He doesn't fake being sick - he really gets sick to his stomach. When he was younger I let him read a children's Bible during mass and that kept him occupied. But now he doesn't want to read during mass and he's too old for that anyway. So he just stares into space and is really really bored. I know it would probably help if we sat in front instead of the back where he can't see but we have to sit near the back because my husband is an usher. We have a very small family and I don't want to split up for mass. He missed mass again yesterday because he was throwing up. Again, he does make himself throw up - he just gets so stressed about sitting for an hour.
For Anonymous: Does your son react this way to other situations in which he is required to sit still? What happens/how does he behave while he is at church? If this is the only place this happens, do you have any reason to suspect that something highly emotional happened at church at one time? I'm not talking specifically about some sort of abuse --- maybe another child was really mean, or a teacher he hates goes to your church? I'm not being alarmist; I know some kids are very anxious! But that is a pretty extreme reaction to what should be a pretty neutral situation --- boring, yes, but it should be emotionally neutral. If you really think this is just boredom, why not try sitting up front, even if that means your husband can't sit with you guys? I know that isn't the ideal, but neither is the throwing up.
Hi Andrea, my son does tend to dread boring situations although mass is the most extreme of the dreaded boredom. He is not ADD and he sits quietly. I think maybe it's partly my fault because as a homeschooling mom I am always trying to make everything interesting and fun. I never take him to anything where he has to sit still for an hour. I know nothing weird has happened at our church; he has never been out of our sight. He doesn't even know anyone at church which may also be part of the problem. At our old parish he had homeschool friends and looked forward to seeing them after mass. Now it's just go, be bored and go home. I guess I will have to try sitting up front as you said.
Anonymous- Maybe you could try going to church once a week for shorter periods of time? Confession or adoration? 20-30 minutes, or less. Start off slow and build up. Maybe let him skip mass for a couple of weeks while you all are going at alternate time. Walk around the church and look at the stained glass, get familiar with mass. Meet your parish priest and get to know him. Maybe explain to the priest what's going on and make a special effort to talk to him so your son feels welcome in church. Maybe try to make some friends in the church with kids his age so he would look forward to it again? If things go well over the next couple of months, maybe he could be an alter server. Then he wouldn't be bored!
I have small kids at home but as I get to know more Catholic parents, I have realized that some of my most "holy" friends do not send their kids to RE. We always went to RE as kids so I always assumed my kids would go. I'm just wondering what you all do about religious ed in your families (and, we are thinking about sending our kids to Catholic school). Thanks!
re: 10 year old who hates Mass: would he be interested in ushering *with* your husband? Or singing in the choir?? (I love singing in the choir and it certainly is something to "do" during Mass, but is still participatory!) Serving at the altar might not be the perfect fit if he's afraid of throwing up while he's in the front (not sure if he throws up at church or just beforehand?) Or he could maybe lector, lead the psalm, or learn to play piano/organ or some other instrument they use/need at Mass. Perhaps he could be a greeter, if your parish has those. If all else fails, could he just hang around at the door and sort-of informally be a door-opener & say goodmorning to people? He might meet some people that way - even if they are not kids his own age. For what its worth, puking over stress makes me think more is going on here. Does he feel challenged in his life? Does he have venues for serving other people (real service like working in a soup kitchen, volunteering with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, doing yardwork for elderly family or parishoners, etc.)? I really think guys need to be worked - almost strenuously worked - as they enter their teen years. I don't mean they need to be put in any danger, of course, but I mean they need REAL causes to get dirty and sweaty about. Just entertainment and homework is going to leave a big void. Maybe he is yearning for more and the throwing up is his body reacting to the imbalance. Its amazing how many personal "problems" go away when you start serving people who REALLY have troubles in life!
To the other Jen who asked about RE: we are homeschooling it. It terrifies me, as its the hugest and most important part of my kids' education! But I'm creating my own blend of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd materials, a calander for the liturgical year, and traditional books. I'm not 100% pleased with what I'm using now, so this is a work in progress... but my husband really feels that if we homeschool nothing else, we should homeschool religious ed -- we are supposed to the the primary educators in this area (according to the baptismal vows, right??!)
For Anonymous, it's hard to tell in a combox what all the nuances are, so if I'm off base, feel free to ignore me. :-) But it seems to me that it could be pointed out to him that the sitting there being bored is his choice. He could choose to participate in the prayers and songs, listen to the readings, pay attention to the homily until he hears one thing that applies to him - or he can sit like a lump deciding that he hates the whole thing and won't even try to be interested. Certainly he wouldn't be the first kid ever to make himself throw up in order to get out of something he doesn't like. But given that he's over the age where he's expected to fulfill the Sunday obligation (and you said he doesn't have other issues with mental or physical health), I wouldn't just give him a pass until he decides that Mass is entertaining enough for him. You could try something like "Magnifikid" or Holy Heroes/Glory Stories so he has some activities and prior reading to increase his understanding and participation every week. You can sympathize with him that it's hard to be quiet and calm for an hour - but still insist that he make the sacrifice of an hour a week. You can present it as a challenge or some such as boys will often want to prove their abilities; it won't be the only time in life where he has to do something that he doesn't particularly like, but it has to be done anyway, so this is his "workout" for those times. Also, if he does miss Mass due to throwing up, I'd have him stay in bed - if he's too sick for Mass, he's too sick to be up playing - and just generally not make staying home the fun option. As I said, if you feel I'm way off base, ignore me, but I taught plenty of kids who were pretty talented at such shenanigans, so I'm inclined to take a tough stance on it. :-)
For Jen 1: My kids all go to RE and I homeschool religion class all week. For me going to classes is super important for them to get reenforced concepts from someone else and build friendships at church more than just "mom's friends". I do not expect 25 hours throughout 1 year to be adequate formation, but I do see it as an important way that my kids are involved in the life of the parish. I actually get very frustrated when families who are otherwise great examples don't participate in RE because then my kids really don't get a chance to build relationships. And in one case superiority/not good enough feelings get felt (unintentional, but still hurtful to my 8yr old) when one child's mom won't let her come to RE. That's my 2 cents - Parish RE is suposed to work with families not in the place of and it is great for us.
Hi Anna, I got my son a children's missal with pictures but he won't read it (just like he lost interest in reading the Bible during mass); he prefers to just zone out. I do make him stay in bed all day if he is too sick to go to mass which he also hates but still he gets all stressed before going to mass. However, you gave me an idea that if he actively participates in mass (following the missal and saying the responses and singing the songs loud enough for me to hear them) I can give him a reward at home. I am not usually one to give my kids rewards (if feels like bribing) but this may be one incidence where it is needed until he develops a good habit of participating. It IS hard to participate when all you see is people's back so i will probable also have to move up front. To Jen: My son is scared silly of being an altar server so that would just make him more sick I think. We don't have a children's choir and all the other jobs like usher or greeter you are required to have had the Sacrament of Confirmation (8th grade). I wish I knew how to find him friends in the parish but we don't use the school. We do like and know the pastor. I think it's a great idea to get him involved in some kind of service, esp. in the parish. I wonder if they would let him help out with the pancake breakfast or coffee and donuts? I see adults doing it but I could ask. I think if he knew more people at church and participated in the life of the parish it would be all mean more. I always tell him mass isn't supposed to be entertaining and he needs to force himself to participate but that has fallen on dear ears. But you all have given me some ideas so I thank you very much! I am not feeling much more positive we can lick this thing.
Ooops - I meant to say above I AM feeling more much positive we can lick this thing!
Jen- Could you ask those parents why they don't send their kids to the RE? I'm not sure what I will do; it will depend on the church that we are attending. I am a more traditional Catholic, and I wouldn't want my son to go to RE at a liberal church, but if we live in a town where I want him to meet other kids his age, I might send him anyway. I definitely don't feel superior, it's just that I don't want my son to be confused. Anonymous- A ten year old should be able to sit for 1 hour. Perhaps, he has done something that he is ashamed of and feels extreme anxiety to be in Church. Did you ask him if he believes?
To MMH: Yes, my son believes! No, I don't think it's anxiety over something he's done. I know how he acts when he's been naughty but overall he's a very good kid. This anxiety started when he stopped reading the Bible during mass which kept him occupied. I feel at 10 he shouldn't be doing something else during mass so I took the reading material away. It's the only time in the week where he has to sit for an hour staring at someone's back. But he's been too lazy to participate and I think if he would make the effort to participate he will find the hour goes quickly. Thus I will try rewarding him for participation, sitting in front where he can see, and getting him more involved in service for the parish, all great ideas.
To Jen: My kids go to Catholic schools and they do not attend religious education, but it is purely for convenience. They have religion at school every day and attend Mass there twice a week, so I don't see the need to take time out of our Sunday for relgious ed. I have considered it, because the school is at a different parish than our own and it would be a way to get to know some kids at our parish better, but there is a healthy number of kids from our parish at the school, so they have never felt alone at Church. Growing up, I attended the Catholic school attached to my parish, and religious ed was only for public school students. I think it is not very necessary in terms of religious instruction, but it could help you to feel more a part of your parish if the Catholic school you are thinking about isn't associated with the parish.

I'm trying to build ps3mediaserver for my Raspberry Pi running with the offcial Debian image and OpenJDK6.
I checked out the ps3mediaserver project files from github and built the binaries with the scripts download and build scripts from the contrib folder. Had some little errors, but was manageable. I've built everything directly on the pi, avoided a cross compiler.
Also the two mvn dependency building steps worked seamlessly.
Now, I'm stuck at the last building step, ps3mediaserver itself.
I'm getting errors on PMSUtils.java, that com.apple.eawt is missing. I searched a little bit on the web and found it at the Maven Repository (http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.a ... nsions/1.4) and installed it with
- Code: Select all
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.apple -DartifactId=AppleJavaExtensions -Dversion=1.4 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/home/pi/AppleJavaExtensions-1.4.jar
This worked, but the build process of ps3mediaserver fails with the same error.
I have to say, that I'm a completely java noob, that means I need your help tosolve this problem. Does someone know, how I can get rid of this error?

Richard Eikelenboom
Richard is a forensic scientist specializing in trace evidence recovery and bloodstain pattern analysis.
Like Selma Eikelenboom, Richard worked for the Netherlands Forensic Institute Department of Biology.
Independent Forensic Services
In 2005, he joined his wife Selma as a partner at Independent Forensic Services, a private laboratory in the Netherlands that specializes in recovery of trace evidence and Touch DNA testing. Their work in the Masters case led to the first Touch DNA exoneration in the United States.
Touch DNA and the Masters case
In the Masters case, Selma and Richard were successful in the recovery of full DNA profiles in three areas of the victim, Peggy Hettrick's clothing. All three profiles matched an individual who was on the short list of suspects in the original investigation. In January of 2008, prosecutors agreed to vacate the conviction of Masters after the results of the DNA testing came back.
Jon Benet Ramsey Case
Since the Masters case, Colorado law enforcement authorities consulted with the Eikelenbooms and decided to use Touch DNA in the unsolved case of Jon Benet Ramsey. Boulder police had wrongly suspected Jon Benet's parents of her murder ten years ago. The Eikelenbooms identified full DNA profiles from the areas of her clothing where the crime perpetrator gradded hold of her. The DNA profiles eliminated the Ramseys as suspects. The test results may someday lead to the identification of her real killer.

I am often asked, when should I prune my trees? In the case of deciduous trees (those that lose leaves each winter) for best results, late winter is optimal. If it's a safety issue however, anytime is a good time and a healthy tree will normally recover without problems. If you have evergreens or flowering trees contact the office and obtain Fact Sheet # 6409. These plants require a little more special care so the fact sheet will be helpful. I now want to discuss something I see way too often in the pruning of deciduous trees, the practice of topping trees.
To many people, topped trees look pruned. In contrast, a properly pruned tree looks so natural that most people may not realize it has been pruned at all. Pruning a tree the right way requires about 30 percent more labor than topping. However, the advantages of good pruning practices are well worth the extra effort. Properly pruned trees live longer and are healthier than topped trees. Fear is often used to sell topping. It seems easy to convince someone that a large tree is apt to fall on their house and kill someone. Many other questionable reasons are also given for such radical butchery.
Unfortunately, almost anyone can top trees. It takes no special training to use a chain saw to remove all the limbs from a tree but most people don't realize the harm this causes. Trees store food in twigs and limbs. Removing them depletes a tree's food reserves. This weakens and stresses the tree. As a result, topped trees are more susceptible to disease and insect attack, and sunscald of the bark.
New shoots produced at the large stub cuts, use sparse food reserves to grow back. These long, straight shoots are weakly attached and break off easily. Branches formed from these shoots will be hazardous throughout the life of the tree. Limbs that regrow on topped trees are more apt to break than those on trees that have been properly pruned.
The large wounds created by topping seldom heal completely. Exposed wood often rots causing weak, hollow limbs. Consequently, previously topped trees often have dead or dying limbs that need to be removed. Topping actually costs more in the long run than proper pruning.
Topping is rarely justified. The best advice is to prune trees only if you have a good reason for doing so. Good reasons include: removal of broken, damaged, diseased, or dead limbs; clearance for safety; or, correction of a structural deformity. Topping should be completely unnecessary if the tree has received early and proper pruning or if the right tree has been planted in the first place.
For large trees near buildings or other targets, it is often safer and less expensive to cut down and replace them with low growing trees. Hazard trees that are in danger of falling and damaging property or injuring people should be removed as soon as possible.
Page 2 of 2 - Research has shown that when a tree is pruned correctly and at the right time, nothing needs to be applied to the cut.

Comes out March 11 - game is pretty hyped. Blend of various shooter types, with jetpacks and mechs.
I'm curious about the no campaign mode / 'blurred' into multiplayer. I agree with the developers that single-player is somewhat wasted effort, although that argument only sticks if the multiplayer mode is higher quality as a result. I like campaign mode at first, since it's not always fun getting lit up by a Dakota repeatedly five seconds after respawn. Plus, being the first time developers are using Xbox Live Cloud (Azure) for dedicated servers (welcome, consoles, to PC gaming of the late 90's), there's a high risk of connectivity issues at release. If so, campaign would be a nice fallback. I probably won't find much time to play, but do plan on giving this one a shot on 360. Anybody preordering?

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – The seventh-ranked Kentucky women's basketball team finds itself in a familiar territory when it meets third-ranked Connecticut on Monday, April 1 in the Bridgeport Regional Finals. Game time in the Webster Bank Arena is 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN and UK IMG Sports Radio Network.
For the second straight season, the second-seeded Wildcats will meet the top-seeded Huskies with a trip to the Final Four on the line. Last year, UK fell 80-65 in the Elite Eight as UConn shot 51.1 percent from the floor, compared to UK's 31.1 percent, and outrebounded the Cats 40-26.
"It is really, really exciting to have a chance to go to the Final Four," UK Hoops Coach Matthew Mitchell said. "I think the opponent in the NCAA Tournament for us has been for us to try and play our best. That's who we've been trying to measure it against, and now our opponent tomorrow is outstanding and excellent. You should be playing somebody like that to go to the Final Four. I think anybody we would play in this round was going to be really good, have our respect. Connecticut certainly has our respect. We think they are a terrific team. I think the focus still needs to remain on us and we need to try and play our very best tomorrow, give our very best effort, and that's what we've tried to do through this tournament."

The Wildcats (30-5) earned their second straight and third trip to the Elite Eight in the last four years after an impressive team effort over one of the nation's best players in senior Elena Delle Donne and the No. 15/16 Blue Hens. Ten players scored at least two points, led by redshirt sophomore point guard Jennifer O'Neill (Bronx, N.Y.) with 19 points and senior All-America candidate A'dia Mathies (Louisville, Ky.) with 16 points and season-high tying nine rebounds. Delle Donne led all scorers with 33 points on 11-of-23 shooting and a perfect 11-of-11 from the free-throw line.
With the Wildcats clinging to a two-point lead after Delaware had fought all the way back from 16 points down, junior guard Kastine Evans, a native of Salem, Conn., located just 65 miles from Bridgeport, nailed a wide open 3-pointer at the top of the key with 2:21 to play, giving the Cats the cushion they needed. UK withstood the Blue Hens' pressure the rest of the way and held on for the 69-62 win.
UK has compiled an outstanding resume en route to one the most successful seasons in school history. The Wildcats have won a school-record 30 games and have advanced to the NCAA Tournament for a school-record fourth consecutive season. UK, now 14-9 all-time in the Big Dance, looks to earn its first trip to the Final Four in school history.
Mathies, the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year and candidate for every major national player of the year award, has once again paced UK to its record-breaking season. The 5-foot-9 senior guard leads the Wildcats in scoring (16.1 points per game), 3-point field goals made (71) and 3-point field goal percentage (.418). She is second on the team in steals (66) and assists (79). She has reached double-figure scoring in 33-of-35 games this season and is just the fifth player in UK history, men or women, to chart 2,000 or more career points. She joins Valerie Still (2,763, 1979-83), Dan Issel (2,138, 1967-70), Kenny "Sky" Walker (2,080, 1982-86), and Jack "Goose" Givens (2,038, 1974-78) on that elite list.
Following Mathies is 6-3 center DeNesha Stallworth (Richmond, Calif.) with 12.3 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. Despite playing just 13 minutes vs. Delaware with foul trouble, the junior averages 12.0 points and 5.3 rebounds in three career NCAA Tournament games. Also playing well in the Big Dance is O'Neill who averages 9.0 points in five career games and has netted double digits in all three this season.
Standing in the way of UK's first Final Four is top-seeded Connecticut. The Huskies (32-4) enter Monday's game coming off a 76-50 win over Maryland on Saturday. Freshmen Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson and Morgan Tuck combined for 35 points as the Huskies are participating in their eighth straight regional final.
UConn has four players who average 10 or more points per game, led by Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis' 17.7 points per game. She currently leads the nation in 3-point field goal percentage at .489 (109-223) and holds the school record for 3-pointers made in a single season.
Following Mosqueda-Lewis is 6-5 center Stefanie Dolson with 14.1 points per game and a team-high 7.1 rebounds per contest. She currently ranks second nationally in field goal percentage, shooting .596 percent (205-of-344). Freshman forward Breanna Stewart and senior guard Kelly Faris round out the double-digit scoring with 12.8 and 10.0 ppg, respectively.
This marks the fifth meeting between Kentucky and Connecticut, the second in the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats are 1-3 all-time vs. the Huskies after falling last season in the Elite Eight to UConn, 80-65.

Kindergarten Student Collapses, Dies in Ruskin
Published: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 4:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 4:30 p.m.
RUSKIN | A kindergartner who got sick during lunch at Cypress Creek Elementary collapsed Wednesday and later died, authorities said.
The 6-year-old, whose name has not been released, was in the lunch room about 11 a.m. when he started to complain of being sick. A school employee walked the boy to the nurse's office, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
After being in the clinic several minutes, the boy collapsed and school officials called 911, the Sheriff's Office said.
Fire Rescue crews transported the child to South Bay Hospital in Sun City, where he died shortly after he arrived, the Sheriff's Office said.
According to investigators, the boy's parents said he was feeling fine when he left for school and suffered only from allergies. Authorities said they do not believe the child had the flu or any illness that was contagious.
Homicide detectives were conducting a death investigation, obtaining a medical history of the boy and interviewing family members and staff members of the school at 4040 19th Ave. NE.
The Sheriff's Office said that preliminary information didn't uncover any sign of foul play and that the child's death may be a result of medical issues.
The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner's Office will conduct an autopsy.

Spatchcocked fowl. Plump, luscious breasts. Creamy, basted ...
After picking up a copy of F.L. Fowler's new culinary parody, "Fifty Shades of Chicken," we can't look at trussing twine without blushing.
The book was inspired, of course, by "Fifty Shades of Grey," E.L. James' now-famous steamy story about the sadomasochistic romance between naive, young Anastasia Steele and her kinky lover, Christian Grey. The book was the first in a trilogy; the series may have ejected wizards and vampires from the best- seller lists forever.
Fowler, the anonymous author behind "Fifty Shades of Chicken" (Clarkson Potter, $19.99, 160 pages), has managed to pen a parody that's lewd, hilarious and epicurean all at the same time. It's the tale of Miss Hen, an innocent chicken introduced to the more erotic side of life by a chef who leaves her battered, buttered, trussed and, yes, spatchcocked in a series of scenarios that may send readers straight to the walk-in freezer for a cool down.
X-rated scenes are interspersed with witty allusions to Chicken Little, the chicken who crossed the road and other famous fowl, as well as references to inner goddesses and other E.L. Jamesian motifs.
There are 50 recipes, too, although the titles and photos are so fraught with double entendres, you may want to hide the tome when the in-laws come to dinner. They don't need to know that you're serving them Inner Green Goddess Chicken or Chicken Thighs, Stirred Up and Fried Hard.
Naturally, we had questions.
Q Most writers who are inspired by "Fifty Shades" turn their pens to steamy romance. What on earth made you think of chickens?
A "Fifty Shades of Grey" must have been inspired by a trussed chicken. There's no other way to explain Chapter 18. Deep inside every romance writer lies the secret longing for a snack.
Q What can you tell us about your culinary and/or literary background?
A I have extensive culinary training, and I've worked in the food business for decades. But this is my first foray into food romance.
Q Let's talk about the book itself. What is it about Miss Hen that fascinates a radish-loving gastronome like chef "Shifty Blades"? And why would he pick a supermarket chicken over the voluptuous musculature of, say, a free-ranger?
A Well, the ambitious foodie in the book works only with pliant ingredients, until one day a sassy chicken makes him see that cooking is hotter when the food resists a little. The chicken is organic and free-range -- a factory-farmed chicken would have been tasteless, not to mention too hormonal to work with.
Q Clearly there are elements of certain other fictional characters in this torrid chicken and chef duo. Any real-life chefs, too?
A Apart from the funny hat, it's hard to tell a chef from a BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism role play) dominant. I strongly suspect E.L. James ghostwrote Thomas Keller's books. Anastasia is obviously an unseasoned spring chicken. And James' "Mrs. Robinson" is a dead ringer for that culinary cougar, Julia Child, who seduced young chefs everywhere into thinking that tying up your dinner is perfectly normal. From there, the kinky cookery pretty much wrote itself.
Q Has Hollywood come calling? Who would you cast in the film version of this masterpiece?
A You (will be able to) actually see our film version at fiftyshadesofchicken.com. We considered all the obvious candidates -- Matt Bomer, Ian Somerhalder, Patton Oswalt -- before settling on ... Well, you can watch for yourself. We cast a young unknown as the chicken. There ought to be an award for best supporting protein.
Q Were these 50 recipes dishes you already had in your arsenal? Or were they inspired by the desire to use words like "trussing," "spatchcocked" and "desire" in recipe form?
A Once I found the theme, the recipes were a lot of fun to develop and test. All the recipes were new to me, but even the racy techniques like trussing and spatchcocking are more common than you'd think. "Fifty Shades" is happening right now behind closed doors in a restaurant kitchen near you.
Q What's your favorite? Recipe, we mean.
A It's hard to pick a favorite, but if forced, I'd have to say Dripping Thighs -- tasty, succulent and fun to announce to your family.
Q Any plans for a sequel?
A Fifty Shades of Gravy? Fifty Shades Beefier? Oh jeez, once you get started, it's just so hard to stop.

"A voice that pulled me away from my work."
That's how Kris Sabel describes the first time he heard Jaimee Paul sing. It was Feb.17, 2011, a Thursday afternoon, and Sabel was sitting in his office when he heard the sound check for Wynonna Judd. Paul, one of Judd's backup singers, was singing on stage, filling the Vilar Center with her trademark sultry sound.
"While Wynonna Judd is an incredible performer, it was immediately evident to me that Jaimee Paul had the talent and presence to be in her own spotlight," Sabel said.
And so Sabel booked the Illinois native.
"I knew I was leaving the Wynonna team soon, so I asked Kris what it took to perform there," Paul said. "He actually needed entertainment for a donor dinner a couple weeks later, and hired me and my band to come and play. That was awesome."
On Sunday, the rest of the valley will have a chance to see Paul in the spotlight when she performs as part of the Underground Sound concert series. Her show was supposed to finish up the series, but an additional concert has been added. Ska and reggae favorites Toots and the Maytals will perform Nov. 11. Anders Osborne will open.
Steeped in jazz, gospel and blues
Growing up in Southern Illinois, Paul was steeped in gospel and blues, and was a member of her church's choir. And she's always held a special place in her heart for jazz.
So which jazz greats influenced her sound?
"Definitely Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Billy Holiday and Etta James," she lists off.
And if you're a fan of any of those artists, chances are you'll like Paul's show.
On Sunday evening, she will feature hits from her three albums, including original tunes and her own take on classics like "Ain't No Sunshine." Among her accomplishments, Paul has performed with Jim Brickman, provided concert background vocals for Barry Manilow and Dolly Parton, completed studio work for Radney Foster and for Lyle Lovett for the movie score for "Dr. T and the Women," and was selected for Belmont University's Best of the Best showcase, held at the historic Ryman Auditorium when she was first launching her career.
It was while touring with Wynonna, which she did from 2009 to 2011, that Paul learned some key lessons about being a full-time musician.
"It was a fantastic learning experience of how I need my team to operate in order to run a smooth sailing ship," she said.
A team, through and through
On Sunday, Paul's husband, Leif Shires, a trumpet player, will also be on stage. The two met at a studio session that took place in the basement of the band drummer, Jared Ribble.
"Leif had been hired to do a trumpet part on the same song that I had been hired to do the background vocals on," Paul said, "and when I was sitting on the couch learning my part, Leif walked through the door to listen to the song, and at that moment, I knew he was the one."
The couple have a 1-year-old son, Solomon. The little guy hasn't joined the touring circuit quite yet - he's home with grandma and grandma at the moment.
"Since Leif and I are both self employed, it's actually been a really great time being a mom and focusing on my career," Paul said. "Leif and I seem to tag team, and we really work well together."
So well that despite living and working together, which is balancing act for most couples who attempt it, Paul said the arrangement works out quite well.
"I may be a little weird on this one, but I would rather spend as much time as possible with Leif than not," Paul said. "I really don't have to have 'alone time.' I find that I'm more balanced and driven when Leif is around than when I'm alone."

No one has ever insulted a president to his face quite like comedian Zach Galifianakis.
President Obama appeared on the wonderfully awkward "Between Two Ferns" web series Tuesday, and for every insult Galifianakis threw his way, the president gave it right back.
"I read somewhere that you'd be sending Hulk Hogan to Syria," Galifianakis said, after bringing up "Ambassador" Dennis Rodman's recent trips to North Korea, which Galifianakis called "North Ikea." "What's it like to be the last black president?"
Obama responded, "Seriously? What's it like for this to be the last time you ever talk to a president?"
"It must kind of stink, though, that you can't run (for office) three times," Galifianakis said.
Obama came back with probably the interview's best line: "If I ran for a third time, it'd be sort of like doing a third 'Hangover' movie. Didn't really work out very well, did it?"
Obama was appearing on the show to urge young people to get on board with his health care plan. But, clearly, that was secondary to the deadpan verbal jousting.
"I have to say, when I heard that people actually watch this show, I was actually surprised," Obama said to Galifianakis, who then started asking about pardoning turkeys, birth certificates and Kenya. Obama didn't even blink.
"We'll probably pardon another turkey. We do that every Thanksgiving. Was that depressing to you -- seeing one turkey taken out of circulation, a turkey you couldn't eat?" Obama said.
Obama also mentioned how much he enjoyed seeing Galifianakis' "The Hangover" castmate Bradley Cooper on the show.
"Bradley Cooper ..." mumbled Galifianakis under his breath. "Everybody loves Bradley. Being like that in Hollywood, that's easy. Be short, fat, and smell like Doritos and try to make it in Hollywood."
The president replied, "He kind of carried that movie, didn't he?"
Galifianakis also asked about the president saying if he had a son, he would not let him play football. "What makes you think he would want to play football?" the comedian said. "What if he was nerd like you?
"Do you think a woman like Michelle would marry a nerd?" the president responded.

La. woman gets probation for collecting dead mom's Social Security
Published: Thursday, November 22, 2012 at 10:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 22, 2012 at 10:40 p.m.
NEW ORLEANS — A 76-year-old Gretna woman has been sentenced to three years of probation for theft of government funds.
U.S. District Judge Susie Morgan sentenced Shirley A. Bunda on Wednesday and ordered her to pay restitution to the Social Security Administration in the amount of $133,297.
U.S. Attorney Jim Letten's office said in a news release that Bunda shared a joint checking account with her mother, who was receiving Social Security benefits. Prosecutors say Bunda failed to inform the agency of her mother's death on Feb. 15, 1998, and the agency continued to send monthly benefits to the checking account via direct deposit.
Bunda received $173,297 in benefits to which she was not entitled from the date of her mother's death through Aug. 3, 2011. Bunda has since repaid the agency $40,000.

Old NH carriages on display in renovated Long Island museum
Across the aisle is the 1867 Crawford House coach, a large stagecoach that brought well-to-do summer visitors from a train station to the Crawford House, a resort in New Hampshire's White Mountains. A period photograph shows about 20 passengers perched precariously in and atop the coach, which had an early shock absorber system that allowed it to sway with the terrain.

We've had plenty of time with BioShock Infinite—enough to write a 10-step guide to the game's first few hours, not to mention a list of the 10 biggest changes to the series.
So it was a great pleasure to sit down with Irrational Games' Drew Holmes, one of the talented writers crafting Infinite's multi-layered story. There was plenty we wanted to pick his brain about, and thankfully he was more than forthcoming, even—no, especially—about potentially sticky topics like racism.
Or how most companion characters in games are, unlike BioShock Infinite's Elizabeth, hopelessly irritating, and the challenges of making sure Irrational didn't commit the same fallacies that countless developers have before them.
There's plenty more, so read on and enjoy.

With new polls showing the damage accumulating from last week's debate, President Obama took refuge in California Monday: He revved up supporters at a San Francisco rally after making a significant gesture in the Central Valley to the Latino voters he needs to win re-election.
While placing a single red rose on Cesar Chavez's grave near Bakersfield, Obama announced a new national monument to the civil rights and United Farm Workers leader whose motto "Si se puede" -- or "Yes we can" -- was the unifying slogan of Obama's first campaign.
"Cesar worked for 25 years without a major victory, but he never gave up," Obama told gatherers -- including Chavez' widow, Helen, and son, Paul -- at the property in Keene known as Nuestra Señora Reina de la Paz, which served as the UFW's national headquarters and the iconic leader's home. "Our world is a better place because Cesar Chavez chose to change it."
Afterward, he flew to the Bay Area for fundraisers and a big concert-rally at San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. . He planned to stay in San Francisco overnight before departing Tuesday morning for the crucial battleground state of Ohio.
The president's announcement of the Chavez monument comes at a vital time in his re-election campaign, with his edge over Republican nominee Mitt Romney eroding after what many believed to be a lackluster performance in the candidates' first debate last Wednesday. Real Clear Politics' average of seven national polls conducted in the past two weeks shows him leading Romney by only half a percentage point.
After entering the San Francisco rally to cheering applause and a blinding wall of camera flashes, Obama quickly addressed the debate.
"What was being presented (by Romney) was not leadership, it was salesmanship." he said, noting that the centerpiece of Romney's plan is a $5 trillion tax cut geared toward the wealthy.
"Suddenly a guy pretending to be Mitt Romney stood on a stage next to me a few days ago in Denver and pretended that such a tax cut isn't his plan..." Obama said. "You didn't know this but for all you moms and kids out there you should have confidence that finally, someone is cracking down on Big Bird. Elmo has been seen in a white Suburban, he's headed for the border.... Gov. Romney's plan is to let Wall Street run wild again, but he's going to bring the hammer down on Sesame Street."
The latest poll, conducted Thursday through Sunday by Pew Research, shows Obama trailing Romney by four points among likely voters -- a huge swing from mid-September, when he led Romney in the same poll by eight points. The new Pew poll found Romney has made sizable gains over the past month among women voters, white non-Hispanics and those younger than 50.
"It's a surge, and it definitely is more than I thought it would be," said Samuel Popkin, a presidential campaign and polling expert at UC San Diego. "Romney is very well set up for the next debate, because if Obama comes out saying 'Liar, liar liar,' then he looks desperate and not like he has a plan."
But both Popkin and UC Berkeley political science professor Henry Brady, dean of the Goldman School of Public Policy, said Obama's next debate performance might be helped by last week's news that the nation's unemployment rate has dropped to 7.8 percent.
Citing that new figure, Obama said, "Manufacturers are coming back to America, home values are on the rise, but we are not there yet, we are not where we need to be yet.
"We have come too far to turn back now. The last thing we can afford now, California, is four years of the very same policies that led us into the mess in the first place."
Latinos are considered a vital voting bloc in several states -- including Nevada, Colorado and Florida -- that could decide whether Obama gets four more years.
Obama's use of the UFW's motto underscores the populist parallels he's tried to draw between his candidacies and Latinos' struggles for labor, civil and immigration rights. Service Employees International Union Secretary-Treasurer Eliseo Medina, who worked with Chavez as a UFW board member from 1973 to 1978, said Obama's announcement of the Chavez monument "is a recognition of the fact that we are becoming a critical part of the electorate."
Medina on Monday was helping to launch a weeklong drive with the Mi Familia Vota Education Fund to register Latino voters, with events from Stockton to Los Angeles. The Chavez event will resonate with many of those potential voters, he said.
"To court the support of this demographic, you need to be aware of the history and show respect to this community," Medina said. "The president is doing that, and I hope it leads to many, many more public officials understanding that the way to win our support and our hearts and our votes is through recognition and respect rather than attacks and ignoring us."
The president had two exclusive fundraisers and one bigger event scheduled Monday afternoon and evening in San Francisco. The first was closed to the media; the second, a $20,000-per-person dinner with food prepared by celebrity chefs Alice Waters and Tyler Florence, was held at¿ the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium before the big rally and concert featuring musicians Michael Franti and John Legend.
At the fundraising dinner in the auditorium, the president noted that only 29 days remained in his campaign and urged supporters to be "almost obsessive" over the next month by talking to family and friends in battleground states.
"I am very competitive. And I very much intend to win this election," he said.
He briefly referenced the polls as he recalled a waiter who recently thanked him for the health care law that helped his ill mother get insurance and pay for her medicine.
"It reminds me that what we do is not sport, it's not simply about who's up and who's down in the polls," Obama said. "Ultimately, it's about that young man and his mom ... and the belief that in this great country of ours, we're going to make sure that every single person is treated with dignity and with respect. That's why we do this. That's what these events are about."
At the rally later, Obama told the crowd that "Change takes time. We always said it would take more than one term or even one president. We said it would take more than one party. And by the way, no, it doesn't just take me. That is not the deal. The deal is, it takes all of us," as he finished speaking to thunderous applause and Bruce Springsteen's "We Take Care of Our Own."

VOLUME 13 NUMBER 10 THE MONTH OF THE CHOKECHERRIES SEPTEMBER 18, 1984 Judge may dismiss Tribes' The federal judge in charge of deciding who gets the Kerr Dam license wants to dismiss the Tribes' application because he isn't convinced that the Tribes can find a buyer for Kerr's power. The Tribes, says Teresa Wall, finds itself in a "Catch 22" situation "We can't The name Char-Koosta is derived from Chief Charlo's and Chief Koostatah's names. They were the Tribes' last traditional chiefs._ application; negotiations get the license unless we can market the power, but we can't market the power without the license" Foster DeReitzes, the Tribes' Washington, D.C., counsel for Kerr, told the Tribal Council Sept 4 that Judge Bruce Birch-man would throw out the Tribes' application unless they could "show cause" -provide good reasons ~ why he shouldn't, at a Sept 6 hearing in D.C. Wall, Poison's Council representative and Kerr expert, was nominated to attend the hearing and report the results to the Council Sept 7.

Later, though, they said they didn't believe the letter meant too much, she said, Thanks, in part, to Interior's long-sought-after support, Birchman agreed to delay any action for about ten days so the competing parties could try to reach a settlement "The BIA [which is a division of the Interior Dept] was brilliant" Wall said.

Wood County school system to cut 29 positions
January 31, 2013
PARKERSBURG — About 29 positions will be cut from Wood County Schools next year, according to officials. The school system is looking at a net reduction of 14....
WOW Remington! Congrats! You're nottelling me anything I don't already know. Because of your special needs you were able to have special programs that because of funding issues took away opportunities from non-special needs kids to help you achieve your goals!That's how our world works today. Disabilities aren't disadvantages anymore.

Wow! Jane it's been over 48 hours, and your still running your mouth. Well, who can't let up now? Huh? Well HOMEGIRL, ya know what they say... Ignorance is bliss! You have proved that all to well.

Wow Janeey, you really have issues. I am going to be exposing who I am by saying his but I am a product of special needs all of my life because I could not hear very well. These programs helped me get 2 bachelors from WV and a Masters degree from Japan. With the support from these programs that you dispise so much has helped me become a Vice President of a major corporation that earns more then a quarter of a million dollars a year here in Orange County. Bragging? Not at all, these programs helped me be prepared for the real world and many can do better then I if given the tools and support. Seems to me that you are the one that maybe fell through the cracks along your journey to success.

Why isn't anyone calling out Mack76? She portrayed herself as a poor struggling mom of special needs kids who had nothing to gain by supporting Beth Dean. Then-thanks to Aaron we find out that her daughter took the picture that got this scandal brewing? And according to Aaron she will benefit if Dean follows through with her law suit threats! Sounds like ya'll have been betrayed and used to further her agenda! Homegirl feels so bad for ya'll! Be careful who trust homies!

You have absolutely NO proof the cuts were because of "special needs" children. So put a sock in it already. Starting to think the Shield has a female persona now. The schools do this every year. The ultimate teachers of a child are the parents. Many sit back and expect the teachers to do it all. If you feel you child is being neglected, pick up the slack at home.

But I am am interested in what AaronL has to say! Dish My Friend! I want to hear more about the connection between Mack and Beth Dean. Are the stories of a "reward" for her child's picture true? If girlfriend is expecting to get an undisclosed out of court settlement should tell her peeps to keep their beeks shut. Tell us more!

Dear Babyonboard-if you disagree with me so much and think my comments are so terrible why do you keep sturring the pot! Girlfriend it's been over 24 hours and you are still trash talking me. Get over it.I have my opinions-based on facts I have seen myself-and you are not going to change my mind. Clearly you need a hobby! I am glad your kids don't have any special needs. You should be very grateful. And having kids with special needs are just as valuable and are deserving of love and attention and an education.But when your kids grow up and go to public school and programs have to be cut, teachers and staff have to be laid off because the school's money had to be sepent to accommodate special needs kids and tp train teachers to accommodate them-I don't think yo have any right to complain. What if your child needs a question answered but the teacher does not have time for them-because a kid with ADD or Asperger's Disorder is causing a disturbance how will you react?

@babyonboard i was not directing that at you dear, it was meant for those on here who post these things without ever thinking about the circumstances surrounding the med use. i also never like to state details not even to my own family members but maybe it will make these people think for just a second

I was not saying anything about people who take meds. I was calling Jane out on her stupid comments. She was saying we are only getting pissy cause we are all on meds and can't get a man or keep a man. I was simply letting her no she shouldn't be running her mouth about things she knows nothing about. I know plenty of people on meds and they are some of the best people a person could grateful o know. So in know way do I have any criticisms to say about therapy or meds or any of that. I do apologize if you felt that's what I was saying. Jane has just said a bunch of horrible things and they are all touchy subjects to be talking about anyway, but when you have a women being so vile about her opinions, it just irritates me to know end. I'm not saying I know everything, but I will Devi agley speak up against her unethical way of being hateful. I think I speak for all parents when I say that know matter what the medical circumstances children have they should be treated equal.

i am on medication and see a therapist regularly. does this make me a bad person? i thank god for the help i receive. i had to hold one of my best friends in my arms while he bled out as the rest of our platoon had to search for both his arms and one of his legs. why dont some of you think about the reasons some people have to be medicated before you spew your ingnorant vile ramblings about it. every circumstance is different dont ever forget that. sorry to be so graphic but if it makes even one of you hate-mongers think for even a second before you type then it was worth it

I have been married for years, and I work my butt off all day everyday and just completed my 4th year of college studying Law. I am not on any medications nor do I see a shrink for anything. I generally don't post blogs or really care what the blogs are about but was very offended by what was being said yesterday. The reality is, this argument about children regardless of their short comings has nothing to do with the originated topic at hand. You all went off on a ridiculous tangent about these special needs kids and there will be no winners in this discussion. Opinions are like ********, everybody has one!

AaronL-You hit the nail on the head? Since you mentioned it-I would love to know what deals Beth Dean made. This board has taught me that there are way too many single mom's out there on medication for "anxiety" with too much time of their hands who love da drama. Newflash; just because you reproduce does not give you a heightened sense of awareness, insight or make you any kind of a better person. Sounds like many of ya'll needto learn how to keep a man and or get a hobby, and stop trying to fill the void in your emepty lives with kids-most of whom ya'll love to be in the middle of a crisis.

Where did ALL of these ****** up kids come from all of a sudden? Gimmmee,gimmmeeee gimmee,since I can't be right with the world.That Mack76 has been a drum beater for Beth Dean ever since she put her kid on the hot seat with BOE. What did she promise YOU when she sues,since it was your kid who took the picture,d sit on the hot seat?Single mother of 3??? Didn't you learn of the 1st one? Maybe you,Mack, Ought to be throwing more out of ER beds,because YOUR messed up kids MAY need one. Remember that statement?

Seleah, you sound like a very smart women, but talking to Jane is like talking to a brick wall. People have tried talking sense into this women, and for some reason she has trouble getting past her own crazy ideas. My theory is that something traumatic has happened in her life to make her feel this way or she genuinely is heartless to the plight of others. I spoke very nasty to her earlier, because I finally had enough of her nonsense, if she has children I kinda feel sorry for them if this is how she truly feels. Shame, shame on her. Wonder how her kids would feel if she told them she would have aborted them if some doctor told her there was a 50/50 chance something would be wrong. I doubt she has kids or she wouldn't feel as strongly about these subjects as she does. No mother who loves her babies could say the nasty things she has said.

Jane: Your last post seemed like it came from an entirely different person. I will assume it is sarcasm. I have read your posts. I have pondered them. I do not agree with most of what you say, and I'm sure the feeling is mutual. I will ask you this. I knew early on in my pregnancy that my son had a 50/50 shot at survival. That he would be born early. That even if he did survive he stood a good chance of having severe problems. My health was compromised as well. Do you think I should have had an abortion? Be honest. Believe me there were times when I felt I was being selfish to continue the pregnancy and subject him to an unknown life of hardships. There is not a day that goes by that I am not thankful that I made the decision to have him. He is an amazing young man. He knows the obstacles he faced. That makes him work even harder. People are against abortion. You should have your baby no matter what. Then when that child is born and needs help, they are against that too. Perplexing.

Okay! Janeeyre1, when I posted my comment I was talking about you. You posted all your negative crap talking about all these parents children and yet you expect no negative response to come your way. WOW! It's interesting how you flatter yourself by thinking we spend are whole day worrying about you, and yet your ignorance eludes you. If you really process why everyone is calling you out then you would realize we are all just saying you sound like an ignorant uneducated bitter Bi**h! Forget class at this point I'm over trying to not be rude. The point is some people just don't have the brains god gave a goose. Your a bully and you are so full of crap.

Lord Have Mercy! All you trash talkin' moms have brought a tear to this homegirl's eye. Ya'll raised a fit to not have you special needs kids in special schools because becuase you didn't want them to feel or be treated like they're different. Then when you got them in public school all you do is fight for them to get special attention and priviledges that take away non special needs kids and hurt school budgets. But I am flattered. All ya'll have apparently done all day is talk about little old me! For someone ya'll don't claim to agree with-ya'll have sure been givin this homegirl plenty of attention!

Also, not all IEP children take medication, some are in the gifted program. I guess according to Jane they should just be left to languish and be bored. Keeping kids busy keeps them out of trouble. I thank God my kids are ok - and I truly feel for the ones who need help. I can't fathom the hate for children who didn't ask to be born the way they are. If you are so sure all these IEP kids are taking away from your perfectly "normal" kid, why not spend some time going over their homework and seeing if they are behind or not. Spend some time helping to teach them at home, I would bet most IEP parents already do that.

Thanks gunsrock! I never asked for the role of being the parent of a special needs child, no parent does. I was just grateful to be a parent. Those of us who have children that require a little more attention or accomodation due to issues they were born with do the best we can with what we have. The things that have been said by some on these forums regarding these children has been absolutely vile. Every child deserves to have a shot at a happy, healthy life, and every parent wants this for their child (or darn well should). Special needs children and their parents are no different.

For what it is worth, I have to give props for Mack 76. You touch on the subject with great affection, and I am sure your children are cared for to the highest standard. For Janeeye to come out and say things like this, it ranks her right above hinesight and just below whale crap. While I do agree with Jane that way to many parents over medicate that only makes it hard on parents like yourself. But this forum is not about that. The school systems are always one step away from being broke so every year they have to make cuts where they can and add where they have to. That is how it is. I beleive that there are way to many lawsuits allowed to go on by our judical system and that drains these schools just as much as anything. The only thing I disagree that the schooling does is how seniority at the top. Other than that I am ok with it. By the way the argument between you two has keep the spot light off the unions for once. So, thanks Mack76 for being brave

I just read all of you comments and I must say, I am very disappointed in you lack of respect and common moral ethics. I am 19 weeks pregnant and have a 12 year old son whom I am blessed to say not special needs. I worry everyday about my unborn child, but there is nothing I can do to prevent him from being born without special needs. My point is people do not wish for special needs children, but press on and move forward trying their best to give their children every opportunity they can as parents. Some of you make it sound like special needs children are just big inconveniences and a waist of good resources that normal kids should get. BS! What are you suggesting, put them to sleep like old sick pets or something. Not trying to be rude or ignorant, but your coming off this way. Think before you get type crazy, and maybe people won't feel so disappointed with your nasty remarks.

i think it is clear to all of us that the education system is busted. i know less staff is certainly not the answer but since i have no ideas to offer i accept the budget reasons for this. i have no idea how this article has turned into the heated debate in this forum about disorders and doctors perscribing drugs. some people seem to have a go to default position when it comes to education discussions rather than rational thought taking precedence. i do not have a medical degree and i did not spend 8 years of my life learning in great detail the art of medicine so i defer to the people that have. i do not repeat what i have "heard" about these things and immediately start trashing the proffesionals who take an oath to do no harm. nor do i accuse them of malpractice in order to line their pockets. i believe they make enough $ without having to do that. if your beef is with pharm. reps then do something about it unless you would rather just talk about it

Hi guys,
I'm compiling best training practices that real runners like you have done or experience which have greatly helped your running performance. Maybe you are still in your early days just like me or have been running for a while now and you have discovered effective running training method or technique along the way that you'd be prepare to share?
Thank you all very much.
Just one piece of advice to a newbie? Assuming we're talking about a true newbie (i.e., couch potato looking to get into running): Don't equate running with going fast.
Trying to go fast is the surest way to get demoralized and possibly injured when you're first starting out. It takes a fair bit of time for your body to adapt to the new stresses that you're placing on it. As you log more time-on-feet going slowly, you'll find that you'll be able to go faster over shorter distances. After you've built a nice endurance base (ability to run about 20 miles per week), then you can start thinking about speed.
If I were to give one piece of advice to a newbie starting out with the Couch to 5k program: Don't aim for 5k in 30 minutes. The plan is built to get you to 5k OR 30 minutes of non-stop running. Not a lot of folks who start on the couch are able to pull off a 9:39 average pace.
Okay, that's two pieces of advice. Sorry.
2012 Race Schedule
Providence Marathon (4:48:55)
Buffalo Half-Marathon (2:03:16)
Chicago Marathon (October 7)
+1 to Slow Down. Too much, too fast, too soon is almost a sure route to injury. Work up slowly, build a good base. Speed will come.
I was lucky as a beginner, because my focus was on getting in better shape for other sports. So speed and long distance didn't matter until I had been running for a couple years.
Awesome thread!!!!! Thanks so much for creating it, as a newbie I'd like to the first to say, that I APPRECIATE the advice, and APPRECIATE all you experienced runners taking the time to share it with us!
Keep it coming!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with the advice so far. The C25K is based on time, not distance, and certainly not speed. Just keep moving, no matter how slow, that is what is important. When I started, I couldn't jog for a minute without being out of breath. It wasn't until I learned to slow down that I started to be able to run longer times. I just finished C25K yesterday and feeling great, and if I can do it, so can you. I'm not at a 30 minute 5K yet, but yesterday I did a 32 minute 5K, so that's a start. Good luck to all.

Agree with previous posts and I'll add a couple more thoughts -
Running is a patient sport demanding patience. Yes you have to run slow first before you run fast, but it is more than that. You have to realize improvement sometimes takes awhile. You need to take the rest days so your body can rest and adjust to the new activities you ask of it.
The biggest challenge for a new runner is learning how to listen to your body. There is comfortable and that is where you want to be - running comfortably and slow enough so that you can hold a conversation while running. Now this is not possible for most folks in the firs 4-6 weeks of the program because simply running is extremely stressful, but that is a place you want to get to as soon as you can. It is when running gets to be fun.
Maybe the biggest challenge to new runners is learning how to listen to their bodies. This is important. Sometimes there is discomfort and even some transient pain. This is normal and insignificant, simply the body complaining about you putting it through unaccustomed work - like a teenager complaining about having to clean her room. You have to recognize this and push through. Other times the pain is enough to cause you to change the way you run - favoring a different part of the body. This is serious and means you need to stop running, take care of the problem. Runners need to listen to their body and learn when they can push it, and when they need to ease off.
Learn RICE - you are an athlete now and sometimes athletes get little nicks and pains. - REST, ICE, COMPRESSION and ELEVATION will cure many problems IF you use it promptly. Push through the wrong pains without treating the problem and you'll end up really injured and in a doctor's office, your running career derailed before it begins.
Finally you've done the first thing right - ask lots of questions. But realize your body is yours and what works for me may not work for you. One program may work for others and not for you. A runner needs to develop the confidence to sift through programs and advice, to experiment, to use what works and discard what doesn't.
Good luck - and have fun!

I agree with all the things people have been saying so far. The only other thing I can think to add is this.....Give yourself daily affirmations as you run. Tell yourself you're a runner, tell yourself it's just one foot in front of the other, and tell yourself you'll always make it to the finish.
I've found that doing this (especially the first one) more often helps your mental training which in turn helps you get through the physical training. If you truly believe you're a runner than it's sometimes even a bad run doesn't seem so bad because you believe in yourself as an athlete and you believe you'll make it through.
I'm over 50, overweight, a newbie and a penguin and I have to agree with everything said so far. I also have to add...don't compare yourself to others...espeically if you tend to be self critical.
First I couldn't breathe...until I learned to slow down.
Next I figured out that the 30 minutes for the C25K program didn't get me a complete 5K...what a shock!!!
Finally I learned that sometimes reading forums I tend to compare my times to other newbies or over 50's etc...and I want to quit. What makes me THINK I am a runner?!?!?!
Now I run at a comfortable pace...for me. I can run and carry on a conversation at the same time. I can also do a complete 5K (and lots more)...at a much faster pace than sitting on a couch. I am by no means fast, but I listen to those that are and try new things at my pace, within my financial range. I have learned how to dress appropriately, run at the best time of the day, accept that I run in the middle of the pack, and make positive changes. I have also learned that I LIKE TO RUN.
So...my newbie advice is to never make it so competative or all consuming that you lose the feeling of LIKE TO RUN. Good luck and many miles to you.
Run4Sue, very well said! Thanks for that excellent reminder.

I am *very new* to all of this, just completed W #3, and I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU!!!! To all of you who have posted in this thread. Last night I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and discouraged and I came into this thread to see what wisdom I could glean from you all. This morning I woke up and went out to do W3D3 and I kept the great tips in mind. I focused hard on my breathing (after using Lamaze breathing to birth 3 three babies, it kind of made sense to me!) And you know, it worked great! I tried to find a tempo with my stride and my breathing and I was able to stop thinking about my legs being tired or my next set of running. Now I know I have ways to go, but I feel like I have a strategy now. I also liked hearing that it may be 4-6 weeks before my body gets used to what I'm doing. I was just feeling so bad, like maybe I was actually *too* out of shape to run. Maybe there is no such thing as that. Thank you all again, you are the Pro's!!
Keep Pushing, Always.
My #1 piece of advice would be that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do, but to the best YOU can do. Especially if you run with others, and even more so if you race.
And one more...SMILE. If you don't enjoy running, the odds are very high that you will not stick with it for the long haul.

Proper running shoes really helped me out.
When I first started running, I thought I was too flatfooted for neutral shoes so I bought a pair of motion control. I determined that that was the reason behind my aching feet after every run. So I went to my local running shoe store, Skinny Raven in Anchorage at the time, and they worked with me to determine I can actually go to a stability shoe and they worked fine. Since then I have lost about 20 lbs and have worked my way into neutral shoes. Thanks to the guys at the Red Rock Running Co. In Las Vegas for that.
So my piece of advice is to get the right shoes. And slow down!
