In case you needed another tale or set of tales to illuminate the data from various Pew studies on youth usage of email verses their use of other alternatives, Katrin Bennhold writes of her experience with a teen at Davos and various teens from her old high school, the Ratsgymnasium in Osnabrück, Germany,in "Generation FB" published both in the New York Times and in the International Herald Tribune on June 23.
Bennhold finds that even cool teachers are out of touch, kids are facile in when they cheat, teen girls can be mean girls, kids work hard on their presentations of self, teachers complain that students don't listen and can't sit still, and kids complain that teachers are boring and don't make their subject relevant. In other words (in Bennhold's words):
At my old school I was struck by how much teenagers have changed. But I was also struck by how little the school had changed, and I dont think its an exception. Teachers are right to fret about attention deficits and lazy thinking. But no fundamental rethink seems to have occurred about how teaching and learning should take place in the age of social networking.
The problem is with adults, says Leo.If they say were becoming more stupid, its perhaps because were in a school system they invented.
In the meantime, Emily Bazelon writing in the New York Times Magazine warns us not of the Nanny State but the "Ninny State." The Ninny State, says Bazelon is seized by juvenoia a specific kind of Moral Panic caused by an exaggerated fear about the influence of social change on children. (quoted texts from David Finkelhor who has changed his position from his 1988 stance). Bazelon likens the various instances of panics about sexting, abduction, and violent video games to the comic book panic of the late 1940s and early 50s.
Okay Bazelon's article isn't so much about email or #noemail as it is about our reactions to our technologies and our kids. It's a good companion piece to Bennhold's article describing the over-reactions to change that the teachers at the Ratsgymnasium are expressing.
[Is it just me or does the name Ratsgymnasium immediately bring hamster wheels to mind?]

Tory leader's stolen bicycle surfaces on eBay
'It leans oddly to the right'
Hours after Tory leader David Cameron told the world that someone had nicked his bicycle, the much-discussed two-wheeler has turned up on eBay. Or so it seems.
"This bike is not exactly new but it is nearly new because it has only been used for a couple of photo-opportunities," says the anonymous huckster offering Cameron's pride and joy to the highest bidder. "It is BIG and BLUE and despite looking quite well-balanced, it leans oddly to the right."
Mr. Cameron likes riding his bicycle to the House of Commons. In 2005, when he took over as Conservative Leader, the journey was broadcast live as TV news helicopters whirled above. He likes riding his bicycle so much, he's even been known to ride while a chauffeured car drives just behind him carrying his briefcase and papers.
A kind of reverie overtakes the Tory leader as he rides his "old friend." Not even red lights or street signs catch his eye.
So, when his bicycle was stolen from outside a Tesco grocery on Wednesday, he was "annoyed" and "pretty hacked off," according to his spokeswoman. "If anyone has seen this bicycle, I would like it back," he told The BBC. "I've reported it online...but I'm not holding my breath."
But perhaps there's hope. Over at eBay, bidding for Mr. Cameron's bicycle sits at 10.50 pounds - which we're guessing he's willing to spend. To him, his bike is "priceless." ®

Back in February of 1997, Bill Clinton was having trouble sleeping. Already tarred by the most scandals in modern history, the president was worried about mounting GOP calls for yet another independent counsel, this one to investigate alleged fundraising irregularities. With evidence piling up that John Huang, Charlie Trie, and others had made illegal donations to the Clinton campaign, even Democrats were beginning to call for an outside investigation. Sen. Pat Moynihan, then the senior senator from New York, was the first Democrat to lower the boom, followed by Sen. Russ Feingold and former Sen. Bill Bradley.
The president had to stop the bleeding, and he knew just whom to call.
According to contemporary news reports, Tom Daschle's phone rang at 1 a.m. on a Monday. An angry Bill Clinton reminded the South Dakota senator how much money the president was raising for Democratic senators-and this was the thanks he got? The Democratic calls for an independent counsel had to stop, he told Mr. Daschle.
Fast forward to May of 2001. When Vermont Republican Jim Jeffords switched parties, giving Democrats a one-vote majority in the Senate, they needed a leader who could stop the flood of legislation coming from a Republican president and House of Representatives. Like Mr. Clinton, they knew just whom to call.
As senators prepared for a month-long recess on Aug. 2, Sen. Daschle, the majority leader, finally allowed his party to pass a flurry of bills and confirm a dozen presidential appointments. The White House got its wish for fast-track trade authority, and President Bush signed a law aimed at curbing corporate accounting fraud.
But those measures, passed just before the lights went out in Washington, were clearly the exception rather than the rule. GOP House leaders, who started their own recess a week earlier, complain bitterly that Sen. Daschle and his allies in the upper chamber have spent the entire year burying legislation sent over from the other side of the Hill. House Majority Leader Dick Armey singled out 50 bills passed by his colleagues that Sen. Daschle refused even to bring to a vote on the Senate floor. "The American people want action. They don't want political posturing," Mr. Armey said, urging the Senate to "Free the Daschle 50" from legislative limbo. "The Democrat-led Senate has a responsibility to vote on legislation. In fact, it's their job."
The question now, especially for the 34 members facing reelection, is: After seven months as a do-nothing Senate, what grade will their last-minute efforts earn them from voters?
Republicans learned the hard way that stonewalling in Washington can get you stoned back home. Back in 1995, when they let the federal government shut down rather than pass a controversial Clinton budget, the backlash from voters was fierce. By 1998, the GOP nearly lost the House majority it had secured just four years earlier, and Newt Gingrich was toppled from his perch as Speaker.
This year, clinging to a bare 11-vote margin, House leaders were determined to prove they were earning their paychecks. The tightly organized Republican caucus has moved quickly through the president's agenda, giving Mr. Bush nearly everything he asked for on issues ranging from human cloning to welfare reform to immigration reform. That kind of quick action hasn't gone unnoticed by the White House: "We have been pleased with how many of our initiatives have moved through the House of Representatives, and been frustrated by the fact they haven't moved through the Senate," President Bush said.
Admittedly, some of the work piling up at the Senate's door is the result of political posturing by the GOP. In attempting to make tax cuts permanent, for instance, the House leadership unbundled last year's cuts (income tax, estate tax, marriage penalty, etc.) and passed each as a separate bill. That forced Senate Democrats to vote repeatedly against extending the cuts, enabling GOP challengers to charge, "My opponent voted against tax cuts x number of times."
Nor are Democrats the only ones who can stall votes in the Senate. On July 30, Republican staffers browsing the Judiciary Committee website got quite a jolt: Priscilla Owen, President Bush's nominee to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, would get a committee vote the next day-after nearly 14 months of waiting. GOP strategists charged that Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) rushed the extra session-originally scheduled for early September-onto the calendar because he knew he had the votes to defeat the pro-life, pro-business judge.
Suddenly, it was the Republicans clamoring for more time. The Justice Department demanded that Ms. Owen be allowed to respond to the 75 follow-up questions she had received from Democrats after her committee hearing just a week earlier. "After 439 days without a hearing, what is the drive for scheduling a sudden vote?" wondered Assistant Attorney General Viet Dinh. Judiciary Committee Republicans wondered the same thing. They immediately announced they would employ a parliamentary device allowing them to put off the vote for a week. With the impending recess, that would move things back to early September, as originally planned.
Mr. Leahy isn't the only one in the Senate holding up President Bush's nominees. For months, Republican John McCain of Arizona has single-handedly blocked the chamber from voting on nominations by putting a "hold" on every Bush appointee. He vowed to halt the entire process until the president agreed to appoint a liberal Democrat to the Federal Election Commission, which has oversight of campaign-finance restrictions, Mr. McCain's signature issue. Mr. Bush relented on July 24, promising a recess appointment of Ellen Weintraub if the full Senate had not approved her by the time it adjourns in October. A mollified Mr. McCain ended his blockade, allowing confirmation of 15 nominees the next day.
Still, for all the caveats and the shared blame, it is clearly Mr. Daschle and his allies in the Senate leadership who have done the most to create the logjam in Washington. Here's a look at some of their unfinished business:
Republicans may want to delay what looks like a defeat for Priscilla Owen, but they wish the Judiciary Committee would at least give a hearing to the president's other nominees. By this point in President Clinton's first term, 128 of his judicial choices had already been confirmed, compared to just 59 for President Bush. Indeed, of the first 11 names sent to the Senate in May 2001, fewer than half have received a committee hearing, much less a floor vote.
Liberals would love to block Bush judges permanently, if they possibly could. Barry Lynn, the left-wing anti-religion activist, told one rally that the president should not be allowed to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. If one of the justices were to retire, Democrats should simply tell Mr. Bush that "eight is enough," Mr. Lynn said.
Senate Democrats can't actually say such things, of course, but they don't really need to. The Daschle-Leahy team has bottled up Bush nominees in the Judiciary Committee, fearing they would win confirmation before the full Senate. But even center-left organizations like the Brookings Institution have begun to criticize that strategy.
"The Bush administration is doing its best to stay on pace, but the Senate is clearly slowing down. It's time to end the drought," said Brookings scholar Paul Light, who noted that Mr. Bush has been quicker than Mr. Clinton to select his nominees, yet the Senate has been confirming them at a record slow pace.
Happily for Mr. Daschle, except at the Supreme Court level, judicial appointments aren't usually a big deal with voters, so the controversy will likely be confined to Republican activists and a few think tanks-unless the president makes a public issue of it (see sidebar below).
At the president's request, the House managed to pass the biggest government reorganization since the 1940s before its members left town for the summer. Their bill would create a new, cabinet-level Department of Homeland Security with 170,000 workers and a budget of $38 billion. The Senate, however, not only failed to act before it recessed, but also warned that it won't have its version of the bill completed by Sept. 11-a deadline originally proposed by Democrat Richard Gephardt.
Though Mr. Daschle stresses the need for further study of the massive reorganization, the main sticking point in the Senate appears to be political: President Bush insists that employees of the security-sensitive department should be exempted from union compacts that govern such issues as hiring, firing, and overtime. Democrats are afraid the House version of the bill, which mirrors the president's position, would weaken the labor movement, a key constituency.
The issue is fraught with peril for the Democrats, however. Since Sept. 11, Americans have shown they are willing to trade almost anything for a greater sense of security, so the fate of the labor movement is probably less important to the average voter than it is to the average Democratic senator.
By drawing out the debate over Homeland Security beyond next Sept. 11, the Democrats also play to the Republicans' strength in the closing days of the congressional elections. President Bush would like nothing better than to have public attention focused on the war on terrorism, where polls show that voters trust him by enormous margins. If the Senate is still absorbed with creating a new department to fight terrorism, Democrats will find it hard to focus voters' attention on corporate scandals and other issues that might hurt the GOP.
On Oct. 1, just when lawmakers want to focus on their reelection campaigns, they instead have to make sure the federal government has the money to keep its lights on. With the current fiscal year set to end Sept. 30, Congress has to come up with 13 separate appropriations bills for fiscal year 2003. The House has thus far delivered three of its bills, but the Senate has yet to get started.
Overall, the Senate wants to authorize $770 billion in discretionary spending, while the president and the House are drawing the line at $759 billion. But the devil is really in the details. The Senate, for instance, wants to keep Amtrak afloat with a $1.2 billion cash infusion, but the president is willing to commit only $521 million. The Energy Department bill would include an extra $475 million for water projects, while Interior would get hundreds of millions of extra dollars for fighting fires. Senate Democrats also plan to slip funding for international family planning into the State Department appropriation, likely forcing a showdown with the White House.
Much more than judicial appointments, unresolved budget issues create images of gridlock in the minds of voters. By waiting until the last minute to pass its appropriations bills, the Senate may try to play chicken with the White House, larding bills with excess spending, then daring the president to issue vetoes on the eve of an important election.
The House passed its bill extending welfare reform back in May, but the Senate has yet to act. It took nearly a year for the Senate to follow the House's lead on human cloning, and that debate went nowhere. Just two weeks ago, the House passed another version of a law to ban partial-birth abortion, but the Senate doesn't even have anything in the works.
On these and other social issues, the Senate is unlikely to move a single piece of legislation under its current leadership. With voters focused on terrorism and corporate corruption, there is simply no pressure on Mr. Daschle to move-or even debate-issues important to religious conservatives.
Republicans hope voter pressure will lead to a stepped-up legislative pace once the Senate reconvenes after Labor Day. To avoid the dreaded "do-nothing" charge, Mr. Daschle may allow a few more laws to squeeze through the pipeline. But no amount of pressure is going to loosen a logjam purposely created by a partisan Democrat with presidential ambitions of his own. That's why Republicans are working feverishly to pick up just one seat in the Senate, banishing Mr. Daschle to the minority. This time, it's the voters' call.

Research and general acceptance
The carbohydrate addict's diet is an eating plan that emphasizes foods low in carbohydrates (carbs). It is based on the theory that some people develop unmanageable cravings for high-carb foods due to the pancreas producing too much insulin, leading to weight gain.
American research scientists Rachel Heller and Richard Heller developed the carbohydrate addict's diet in the early 1990s after the husband and wife lost a combined 200 lb (75 kg) on the diet. Both Hellers are professors and researchers specializing in biomedical sciences. They outlined their method in their first book, The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet, published in 1991. They have since expanded upon the diet in subsequent books and several updates of the original book. The term "carbohydrate addiction" was coined in 1963 by Robert Kemp, a biochemist at Yale University.
The carbohydrate addict's diet is a program based on the theory that balancing insulin levels in the body will lead to reduced insulin resistance and less cravings for foods high in carbohydrates. The diet has two steps: reduce the high-carbohydrate foods that are consumed, and regulate insulin levels by using dietary supplements Although the Hellers recommend an exercise program with the diet, there is not a major emphasis on exercise. The Hellers define carbohydrate addiction as a compelling hunger, craving, or desire for foods high in carbohydrates, or an escalating and recurring need for starchy foods, snack foods, junk foods, and sweets. These foods include breads, bagels, cakes, cereals, chocolate, cookies, crackers, pastry, fruit and fruit juices, ice cream, potato chips, pasta, potatoes, pretzels, rice, pies, popcorn, and sugar-sweetened beverages. The Hellers also advocate avoiding sugar substitutes (Equal, NutraSweet, Splenda), which they theorize causes the body to release insulin and the body to store fat.
Up to 75% of people who are overweight are addicted to carbohydrates, according to the Hellers. Carbohydrate addiction is caused by an over-production of the hormone insulin when foods high in carbohydrates are eaten. The insulin tells the body to take in more food and once the food is eaten, the insulin signals the body to store the extra food energy as fat, the Hellers hypothesize. When too much insulin is released after eating, it is called post-prandial reactive hyperinsulinemia. Over time, some people with this condition develop insulin resistance, where cells in tissue stop responding to insulin. The body continues to produce insulin but because the tissues do not respond to it, the body is unable to use the glucose (sugar) properly. Insulin resistance is often found with other health problems, including diabetes, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. When more than one of these diseases are found together, it may be termed "insulin resistance syndrome"
There is no medical test to indicate carbohydrate addiction so the Hellers developed a self-administered quiz to determine if a person is a carbohydrate addict. The quiz, which is available in their books and on their Website, asks ten "yes" or "no" questions. They are:
- Are you hungry before lunch even if you've had a full breakfast?
- Is it hard to stop eating starches, snack foods, junk food, or sweets?
- Do you feel unsatisfied despite having just finished a meal?
- Do you eat when you are not hungry?
- Do you snack at night?
- Are you lethargic after a big meal?
- Are you tired and/or hungry in the afternoon without a reason to be?
- Do you continue to eat even when you are full?
- Do you yo-yo diet?
Scoring of the quiz is based on the number of ";yes" answers. A score of 0–2 indicates no carbohydrate addiction. A score of 3–4 suggests a mild carbohydrate addiction. A score of5–7 suggests a moderate addiction. A score of 8–10 indicates a severe addiction to carbohydrates.
The carbohydrate addict's diet begins with the entry plan, which allows two complementary meals and one reward meal each day for the first week. In subsequent weeks, the diet is adjusted depending on a person's weight loss goal and amount of weight lost in the previous week. The diet also allows for a snack and salads. The complementary meal is composed of one serving of meat and two cups of low-carb vegetables or two cups of salad. There is an extensive list of meats and vegetables to choose from. The reward meal can be as large as the person wants but it must be composed of equal portions of protein, low-carb vegetables, and high-carb foods (including dessert). The reward meal must be eaten in an hour. A snack is the same as a complementary meal but half the size. The diet allows for an unlimited amount of water, diet drinks, and unsweetened coffee and tea.
Very few people need a morning breakfast to provide energy through the day, according to the Hellers. Since food takes several hours to clear the stomach and a few more hours to be processed in the small intestine, it is the food that is eaten the night before that gives a person energy for the first part of the next day, the Hellers say. For people who are not hungry in the morning, the Hellers recommend skipping breakfast and having just coffee or tea. Skipping breakfast is not a practice widely recommended among dieticians and nutritionists.
Children and teens
There are two different carbohydrate addict's diets for children and teenagers. Both are outlined in the Hellers" book, Carbohydrate-Addicted KidsCarbohydrate addiction affects up to 74% of children and teens, according to the Hellers. It is also a problem in adolescents with behavior, motivation, concentration, and learning problems, and mood swings. On the step-by-.
step carbohydrate addict"s diet, children go at a slower pace, and are offered additional food incentives besides the rewards meal. The jump-start carbohydrate addict's diet is designed for older children and teens. It offers foods high in fiber and protein for meals and snacks. Like the adult diet, it provides a reward meal in which dieters can eat anything they want, provided it is equal portions of protein, low-carb vegetables, and high-carb foods. The book also provides information on meals for special occasions, such as birthdays, holidays, vacations, and other celebrations. The diets for adolescents also have a vegetarian component.
The premise of the carbohydrate addict's diet is to correct the body's excess release of insulin, which occurs following consumption of foods high in carbohydrates. The excess release of insulin triggers an intense and recurring craving for more carbohydrate-rich foods. The diet, combined with exercise, is designed to correct the underlying cause of the cravings, the excess release of insulin.
Like any strict diet, the carbohydrate addict's diet should be undertaken with the supervision of a doctor. People with diabetes should consult an endocrinologist, who may recommend discussing the diet with a dietitian. Persons considering the carbohydrate addict's diet should ask their doctors if they need to take any vitamin, mineral, or nutritional supplements, based on their overall health and any specific medical conditions they may have.
There are no general health risks associated with the carbohydrate addict's diet. Critics of the diet claim it contains too much fat, is not nutritionally balanced, and is not a long-term solution for losing weight and keeping it off. It may be difficult for people to maintain a low-carb diet over the long-term. The diet is not recommended for women who are pregnant or nursing. Individuals who have a history of stroke, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, or kidney stones should talk to their doctor before starting any low-carb diet.
Research and general acceptance
There is mixed acceptance of the carbohydrate addict's diet and low-carb diets in general by the medical community and dietitians. Some studies have shown low-carb diets can be effective in controlling blood sugar levels in diabetics and in helping people lose weight. Other studies have contradicted these findings. No major studies or research has shown that low-carb diets are harmful to a person's health; however most professional organizations do not support low-carb diets.
A 2003 study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine found that a low-carb diet produced a greater weight loss than a conventional low-calorie, low-fat diet after six months. However, after one year, the two diets produced similar weight loss results. A 2004 study by the same medical center found that both a low-carb and conventional diet produced similar weight loss results.
after one year but that a low-carb diet improved the health of people with atherogenic dyslipidemia, a cholesterol disorder characterized by the elevation of triglycerides and a decrease in "good cholesterol" high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels in the blood. This lipid disorder is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Also, individuals participating in the study had better control of blood sugar levels.

We love AirPlay. Audyssey's consistently put out some really solid compact speakers. But the former was frustratingly absent from the latter. Not anymore! The LES dock sounds as great as we'd expect, with the (overdue) bonus of AirPlay wireless.
The thing even looks pretty damn good too, with a minimalist form, understated colouring, and a slim enough body to wedge onto a bookshelf or desk. Even though it's diminutive, it's still got enough oomph to fill a room with sound that's decently rich given its source, even in the far less than acoustically ideal room in which I first heard it. I wouldn't say this will replace anyone's home theatre by any means, but it'll probably be great for any room you want your music in, pushing two 1-inch tweeters, two 3-inch mid woofers, and two 4-inch passive radiators, from any device you're carrying. Check for it next month at $US350—a hell of a lot less than the B&W Zeppelin. [Audyssey]

U.S. Deportees to Haiti, Jailed Without Cause, Face Severe Health Risks
November 13, 2011 · by Jacob Kushner · in California Watch, Center for Public Integrity, Florida Center for Investigative Reporting, Haiti, Haiti & Dominican Republic, Huffington Post, Miami Herald, The Nation & The Nation Institute Investigative Fund, United States, Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The United States has deported more than 250 Haitians since January knowing that one in two will be jailed without charges in facilities so filthy they pose life-threatening health risks.
An investigation by the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting found that the Obama administration has not followed its own policy of seeking alternatives to deportation when there are serious medical and humanitarian concerns.

The Unarchiver 2.3
The Unarchiver is a much more capable replacement for "BOMArchiveHelper.app", the built-in archive unpacker program in Mac OS X.
The Unarchiver is designed to handle many more formats than BOMArchiveHelper, and to better fit in with the design of the Finder. It can also handle filenames in foreign character sets, created with non-English versions of other operating systems. I personally find it useful for opening Japanese archives, but it should handle many other languages just as well.
It is very simple to use and install - simply copy it into your Applications folder or whereever you prefer, and then set archive filetypes to open using it. This can either be done the usual way, or by double-clicking the icon to show The Unarchiver's preferences.
Supported file formats include Zip, Tar-GZip, Tar-BZip2, RAR, 7-zip, LhA, StuffIt and many other more and less obscure formats. The goal is to make The Unarchiver able to extract anything you give it. The Unarchiver uses the libxad unarchiving library to support many older, obscure formats.
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher.

Typical sleep at this age
Most 3- to 6-month-olds sleep a total of 15 to 16 hours a day, including nighttime sleep and naps.
Sleep training opportunity
Typically, by age 4 months or so, babies have started to develop more of a regular sleep/wake pattern and have dropped most of their night feedings.
This doesn't mean you should suddenly impose a rigid sleep program on your 4- or 5-month-old. In fact, your baby may already have developed sleep patterns that fit in well with your family life. But if you'd like to help your baby sleep longer at a stretch and keep more regular hours, now might be a good time to try some type of sleep training.
Keep in mind that every baby is on a unique developmental schedule. Observe how your child reacts to sleep training, and if she doesn't seem ready, slow down and try again in a few weeks.
Sleeping through the night
At some point between 4 and 6 months, most babies are capable of sleeping for several hours at a stretch at night. Once this happens, you'll be able to get through a few sleep cycles and feel more rested in the morning.
If your baby isn't yet sleeping through the night, you're not alone. Many babies still wake up more than once at night for feedings in the 4- to 6-month stage. But by 6 months, if not before, your baby's likely to be ready for night weaning, if that's what you choose.
Waking up again
If your baby already sleeps for long periods at night, enjoy it. But babies who've slept through the night for weeks or months may start to wake up – so don't be surprised if you're suddenly getting up every couple of hours again.
These "sleep regressions" are common during spurts in development and are usually temporary. She may be increasingly socially aware and wake up crying for your company. Or she may be working so hard to master new skills, like rolling over or sitting up, that she practices in her sleep and wakes herself up.
How you can establish healthy sleep habits
Here are some tips for helping your baby sleep well at this age:
Establish a set bedtime and regular nap times – and stick to them.
When your baby was a newborn, you knew it was bedtime when you started noticing signs of sleepiness (eye-rubbing, ear-pulling, and so on). Now that she's a little older, you should establish a regular bedtime, as well as consistent nap times, to regulate her sleep patterns.
Some babies naturally nod off by 6 every night. Others still seem wide awake at 8 or later. And of course your household routine will influence her sleep schedule, too.
Choose a reasonable bedtime that suits your family's schedule and stick to it as much as possible. If your baby seems to want to stay up past bedtime, consider this: Energetic behavior late at night can be a sign that a child is tired.
You can start to plan naps for a specific time every day, too, such as at 9 a.m., noon, and 3 p.m. Or you can just put your baby down about two hours after she last woke up. As long as she's getting enough opportunities to sleep, either approach is fine.
If your baby's having a hard time getting to sleep or staying asleep, whether during naps or at night, try putting her down sooner. Being too tired can make it hard to settle down and get restful sleep.
Begin to develop a bedtime routine.
If you haven't already done so, now's a good time to start a bedtime routine. Your ritual can include any or all of the following: giving your baby a bath, getting her changed for bed, reading a bedtime story or two, singing a lullaby, and giving her a kiss goodnight.
Whatever routine works for your family is fine, as long as you do it in the same order and at the same time every night. Babies thrive on consistency.
Wake your child in the morning to set her daily clock.
It's fine to wake your baby up in the morning if she's sleeping past her usual waking time, to help set her daily clock. Your baby needs to follow a regular sleep/wake pattern and recharge with naps during the day. Waking her up at the same time every morning will help keep her on a predictable sleep schedule.
Encourage your child to fall asleep independently.
All of us, babies and adults alike, wake up several times every night for brief periods (anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes). As adults, we put ourselves back to sleep each time – and we don't even remember doing it.
The ability to get back to sleep is key when it comes to snoozing through the night. Some babies seem to do this naturally. But if your baby doesn't, it's a skill she'll have to master. One way to get her started is to put her down when she's drowsy but awake. If you hear her wake up at night, wait a few minutes before you get up to comfort or feed her. Give her a chance to settle back down by herself.
If your baby needs more help and you think she's ready, you can try a more involved method of sleep training. Your options include various no-cry, cry-it-out, and fading techniques. What will work best for you depends on your parenting style, your personal beliefs, and your child's particular needs.

Guide to Fishing Kites and Equipment
Fishing Kites and Accessories
Kite fishing isn't as difficult as it may seem at first. With the right equipment, patience, and steady winds in the 10- to 15-knot range, a beginner should have little trouble getting a bait splashing attractively under a fishing kite. Experts can handle all sorts of wind and current conditions, and may fly two kites with as many as three baits under each one.
But like a lot of things, it's best to start simple.
The basic rig consists of a specially designed square kite that is connected to a line attached to a stubby rod and reel. Strung at intervals along the kite line are one or more release clips; these hold your fishing line but let go when a fish strikes.
There are many ways to customize the elements comprising the kite outfit, but novice anglers looking for a quick and proven system can find all that's needed in many tackle shops and catalogues around the state.
There are three main companies making fishing kites: Bob Lewis, Aftco and SFE. They differ primarily in how they compensate for various wind strengths. The Lewis kites come in various cloth weights; the Aftco uses interchangeable spars; and the SFE kite has a bridle adjustment feature.
Bob Lewis kites generally retail in the $60 range, depending on where you look. The Aftco, with complete spar kit, usually sells for a little over $70; the SFE for just over $100. If you choose a Lewis kite as your first, it's probably best to start with a Light or Medium model; one is rated for winds of 6 to 10 mph, the other 10 to 15 mph, but either will accommodate somewhat higher winds. The key is to keep the kite aloft; if it falls in the water, performance will suffer until the kite has fully dried.
Kite Reels
For a kite reel, which holds the line tethering the kite, a high-speed revolving spool reel—such as the Penn Senator 113H–is best, generally spooled up with 50-pound Dacron line or 80-pound braided Spectra, such as Power Pro. Some anglers use 50-pound mono. Levelwind reels, like the Penn 345 GTi and similar, are especially nice if you're using an electric reel—the line comes in pretty quick, and the levelwind ensures it doesn't get bunched up.
The ideal kite rod is short and stout, about 3 feet long. It does nothing but hold the kite reel, guide the line, and stay out of the road. You can make your own, but for $50 or so you can have a specialized kite rod, with a gimbal butt and single ring tip ring—a good buy. A complete kite-fishing kit, with rod, reel, kite line, kite, release clips and instructional video, sells for $269.95 in one catalogue. Also a good buy.
Remember, of course, the kite rod just holds the kite—you'll be using other fishing rods for your baits.
An electric reel may seem like a substantial investment when you're just getting started, but it can really simplify the whole process. You'll do quite a bit of reeling in of kites while learning and fishing new waters. Units such as these can be connected to a battery with alligator clips, or better yet, plugged into a marine receptacle hard-wired to your 12-volt system.
Elec-Tra-Mate (www.elec-tra-mate.com) makes electric-assist devices compatible with various reels; a 400-series model with 4/0 size reel, such as the Penn 113 Senator, or 600-series models for 114 Senator, are popular combos–expect to pay a bit over $300 for the electric. Fish-Ng (www.fish-ng.com) makes a Precision Auto Reel that works with many Penn reels, for about $390. Kristal (www.kristalusa.com) makes a unitized electric reel—the XL601—that's often used by kite-fishers. We found one combo by a major catalog retailer with the XL601, a rod, plus kite line, for about $700. Dolphin Electric Reel (www.dolphinelectricreel.com) makes power assist systems for lots of reels, with the bonus of a manual hand-crank override; for reference, the 6/0 series with Penn 114H Senator sells for around $510.
These are inexpensive. There are lots of release devices sold for outriggers and downriggers; the ones you want for kite fishing are the pin-style, such as the Black's Marine or Aftco Goldfinger. A pair of Black's clips for kite fishing, with pre-drilled holes, swivels and snap, sells for around $20; the Aftco set is about the same price. Both models are adjustable for tension. The nice thing about the kits is that you don't have to sort out which size swivel is needed for which clip. You just assemble the kite outfit and go fishing.
A recent twist among kite pros is the use of rigging floss half-hitches to build up appropriately sized release clip-stoppers on the kite line. This eliminates the need for swivels and knotted connections, making it less likely that you'll break off a kite down the road.
For general day-to-day work, though, the clip/swivel kit systems are fine.
Other Stuff
Ceramic rings or hooks, like the Aftco Kite Hook, help minimize chafing of the fishing line through the metal release clip. These sell for about 50 cents a pop. You thread one the fishing line first, then add a fluorescent marker float, generally positioned cup-side down, followed by a swivel, then your leader. The rings aren't really necessary, but they could add an edge if you're fishing lots of days.
Marker floats, weighted or unweighted, are also cheap, about a dollar each. These help you identify your line when it's way out there under a kite. Cigar-shaped and popping cork styles are available; if you use the latter, make sure to position it cup-side down for ease of retrieval. Some anglers dispense with the floats and use surveyors' tape tied above the leader instead. Your decision.
Three-way rodholder: You have to have rodholders to kite fish, and it's best to have them very close together. For kite-fishing with two fishing lines, nothing beats a triad of rodholders in the same area—you can put the kite rod in one, and the two fishing rods right next to it, simplifying adjustments and keeping the boat clear of overhead lines. The Tigress Trident (about $150) is a one such three-way rodholder; it has a gimbal mount, turning a single gunnel-mount rodholder into an effective kite-fishing station.
Sea anchor: It's generally easiest to fish kite lines with your beam to the drift—and drifting as slowly as possible. If your boat doesn't do this automatically with power off, a collapsible sea anchor tied to the bow or a mid-ship cleat can help. Lots of 36- and 48-inch sea anchors on the market for under $50. The Cadillac of sea anchors is the Para-Tech (www.para-tech.com), selling for a couple of hundred dollars, but adding a greater level of drift control.
Where, When to Kite Fish
Kites have long been a tool-of-the-trade for sailfish anglers along the windy southeast Atlantic coast of Florida, particularly from October through April. But there are loads of other possibilities for this effective livebait fishing system.

PHOTOGRAPHY – 2nd year -02/ 2018
The 250th anniversary of the birth of François-Joseph Bosio
AIMS : By confronting the work of François-Joseph Bosio and contemporary photography, the students make staged photographs in the perspective of an exhibition in the cityscape of Monaco. METHOD : Divided in 3 or 4 groups, the students will make series of photographs based on given themes. The latter concern the artist as a person, his work, the 19th century period and the model. Alongside, as the students make the pictures they will explore plastic choices concerning the staging, the set, and the techniques of studio portraiture. CONTENT : Depending on the themes they broach, the students will have to mark and choose existing elements for their sets such as the museum, including its exhibition space and its stock, and the urban space. They will make photographic backdrops (paintings, drawings, photographs) for their studio shooting. They will propose an answer related to the sculptural work of François-Joseph Bosio regarding the questions of the costume, the accessory and the posture of the bodies. The realisation of these projects will be fostered by a work on lighting and shooting techniques. Finally, with the outcome of an exhibition, they will work on the choices and editing of pictures.
PRACTICES OF THE EXHIBITION – 3rd year – 03/2018
Building the exhibition : practical aspects
QUAI ANTOINE 1er EXHIBITION ROOM TEACHERS Renaud Layrac, Damien Sorrentino, Mathilde Roman AIMS The students' personal work is laid out and tested in the exhibition space, with an individual and collective eye. METHOD Plastic experimentations and critical analysis. CONTENT As an extension to the theory seminars on exhibitions, alongside visits, the students develop their plastic propositions and confront them to the public's gaze within the 800 m2 of the Quai Antoine 1er exhibition room.
PRINTMAKING SPECIAL – 3rd year – 01/2018
Printmaking/editing : Like Animals
TEACHER Frederic Pohl Assistant Sophie Sederi « Like animals » was the title of a four day long studio during which the students made eight small bound editions comprising ten prints each. The students were to tap in the iconography of animal kingdom to collect simple and aestheticizing visual elements. The aim of the studio was indeed to concentrate on learning the techniques required to make a micro edition.
SCENOGRAPHY FOR STAGE AND LIVE PERFORMANCE – 3rd year – 01/2018
Studio : Odd Thoughts : On Stage, Back Stage/practicing

MAKING AND CONSTRUCTING – 1rst year – 09/2017
"Make me a piano"
Teacher : Frédéric Pohl Technician : Jean-Sylvain Marchessou Michaël Lorenzi Sophie Sediri AIMS : To conceive shapes and objects with the help of scaled plans. Acquire knowledge of the tools along with their use and learn about the techniques adapted to the making of volumes. To learn the security rules related to the use of cutting and making material. Take notice of the up keeping and storage of the tools. CONTENT : Blue prints are drawn using Illustrator and Sketchup in the perspective of making a piano. In that aim, identifying and experimenting the different tools and materials within a construction workshop. Making of a model. Assembling techniques, resistance and choice of material.
PHOTOGRAPHY – 1rst year – 2017
The students develop a reflection upon the history of portraits in studio photography, within a period that goes from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. They analyse more specifically the use of different elements of scenery to understand the setting in a picture. They later make studio portraits, using the large format paintings made during the "Paint/ Color" studio as backdrops. Bridges between scenography and photography are built in order to question the represented spaces and the suggested ones. During this step, the students learn different means of lighting and flash techniques in a studio.
AESTHETIC PHOTOGRAPHY – 2nd year – 2017
In the beginning of the century, painter Louis Tinayre was part of the Sptizberg expeditions led by Prince Albert the Irst. How can we interpret these canvases nowadays ? How can we make them the support for a narration that interrogates both the story of the expedition and its supposedly documentary pictures ? A presentation of the painter's work and a meeting with explorer and Greenland specialist Philippe Geslin allowed a comparison of the end of 19th and beginning of 20th century explorations. Hence, their contemporary versions, their different scientific reports and their pictorial and photographic representations were confronted. Later on, a selection of Tynaire's paintings was used to work on setting for photography.
PAINTING AND COLOR – 1rst year – 2017
"Scenic space / public space"
Upon invitation of the Ballets de Monte-Carlo, a visual work is lead to illustrate the event "F(ê)aites de la danse", in honor of its 30th anniversary. After experiences in the workshop and the analysis of specific techniques related to large size painting, se veral projects are selected for the final production phase.
SCENOGRAPHY FOR LIVE PERFORMANCE – 3rd year – 2016/2017
"Walden" first stage
After reading Walden or the Life in the Woods by Henry David Thoreau, the 3rd year students have to imagine a dramaturgy within a scenography that interrogates the relationship to words and scenic space. The students analyse and cut Henry David Thoreau's text, and consequently imagine its translation within a scenic device. The different projects were first conceived in several steps : drawings, 3D and scaled modelling to give birth to the creation of personal and then collective propositions. A coherent common project is finally brought to stage and in the house in its entirety for a public presentation.
PHOTO STUDIO – 2nd year – 2017
"The body"
The 2nd year students are invited to make several series of pictures on the theme of the « body » which is the topic of reflection of the Colloque International des Rencontres Philosophiques de Monaco 2017. How can one give an account of the question of the body through philosophy ? The studios constitute specific moments dedicated to the discussion, conception, later on, to the production and editing of pictures around this theme. The reading of philosophical texts about the body and examples of works related to this topic will augment the work.
CONSTRUCTION – 3rd year – 10/2016
The technical issues that come out of the production of a model from its scaled drawing will be examined. A reflection on responsible architecture, within our political context where 75 % of humanity lives in cities or megalopolises, will accompany the achievements. Method The Conception of a building through a series of sketches, followed by the drawing of blueprints will lead to the cutting and assembly of material within the workshop. Aims Producing a more or less complex volume to acquire the technical knowledge for the conception and construction of models will question contemporary architecture and allow the students to assimilate the logics of assembling.
BUILT SPACE – 2nd year – 10/2016
CONSTRUCTION STUDIO – 3rd year – 10/2016
A historical and theoretical course on the conception of a space, based on Frederick Kiesler's work, from design to volume. Production of drawings, objects and models. Lay out of the objects depending on different protocols. Lighting, critical analysis of the exercise's potentialities. A series of exercises is proposed in order to engage experimentation by following a precise process : making of models _ cutting, re-mounting, collage. Each exercise will lead to the production of objects, drawings, pictures or installations. The propositions will then be analysed, as well as the effects of light and colour on the objects.
SPACE DESIGN – 2nd year – 06/2016
"Built space 1"
SPACE DESIGN – 2ND year - BUILT SPACE 1 An array of exercises is given in order to incite experimentations by following the precise indications of each lesson (making of models : cutting, covering, pasting). Each exercise will lead to propositions of objects, drawings, photographs or installations that will be analysed by exploring the influences of colour and light on space.
EXPERIMENTAL SCENOGRAPHY – 2nd year – 12/2015
Following the last scenography colloquium, the reflection upon the apparatus of speech is continued. What influence can devices have on the body and its expressions ?
SCENOGRAPHY FOR LIVING ART – 3rd year – 11/2015
"First stage / on stage"
PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO – 1rst year – 10/2015
"Spirit photography"
Techniques of the photographic image. After it appeared at the end of the 19th century, with William Howard Mumler, "spirit photography"_ also called paranormal photography_ was the starting point of this studio. With the intention of making pictures of ghosts and levitation, the idea was to work on the photographic process without using post-production (Photoshop). The point was to work on the shutter speed, whether rapid or slow along with the super-imposition of pictures.
MODEL MAKING – 3rd year – 10/2015
This studio develops the technical skills of conceiving and building models along with questioning volume and architecture. It proposes a reflection upon social architecture based on Pruitt-Igoe, a city conceived by architect Minoru Yamazaki. Pruitt-Igoe is a textbook case known for having been the biggest social housing area built in the 1950's in Saint Louis (Missouri) in the United States, and destroyed twenty years after its construction.
RESTORING AVIGNON – 4th year – 10/2015
Public presentation
The 4th year course opens on a cultural field trip to Avignon's Theatre Festival. The students attend the shows and the press conferences of the artists, read specialized reviews and analyse the performances they saw. Back to school, they present a collective feedback of their past experience to the entire school. Using means and ways specific to theatre and performance, they offer a critical analysis of the spectacles seen on that occasion. In this restitution exercise, the issues of scenography are privileged.
PHOTOGRAPHY – 2nd year – 02/2015

Workshop 4: Yes we shoulds, police, set design & communication.
SCÉNO DES MOTS – 3rd year – 04/2011
"Phaedra's Love"
Teacher: Dominique Drillot "We find in Sarah Kane plays and Phaedra's Love is no exception - an explosive theatricality, a poetry of ruins with a strong emotional impact, black humor, perversion or sadism. The flesh is raw, unprotected; violence and suffering are naked; ultimately, death is inevitable. "William Astre Black humor and scathing piece carries a bitter look at modern society. A reading of this play by Sarah Kane, each student has created a drama that questions the relationship of words to the space of the stage. He then translated his proposal of Intent text, drawings, models costumes, set design ... that he developed into a first phase. We then set a goal to achieve in all its components of a piece of text section in a studio. While it is obviously difficult to perform on stage made a satisfactory one week, students are lent to this delicate game where they could be aware of all the questions necessary for a production approach. The intentions of space, costumes, lights, props, effects, as far as the acting are found today in the pictures they have achieved and are given to see today. The scene was taken, these images are authentic, varied approaches are now lying on these pages and testify without a net of our "love of Phaedra."

Studio outside the walls
Objectives: Analysis and construction of photographic images and graphic video from a ground intervention in a specific place. Awareness of the presence and plastic material. Methods: theoretical and technical courses, in situ experiments. Contents: the student is faced with a place, a material and a maturity of realization. He will design a photographic or videographic project. Students were instructed to use the specific properties of the material and take account of the location / environment to build their images. They realized video images and / or photographs from three ingredients: action, the earth and the camera. The studios have started around a reflection on how the manufacture of articles or handling of a material that energizes images; on the question of the object between sculpture and accessories in building a stage image; on the body, not shown but acting in the creative process.

Ajisen Ramen originated from Kumamoto of Kyushu, Japan in 1968. The famous chewy, straight and thin ramen coupled with the secret recipe of our tonkotsu soup base has been widely commended in Japan, and has been introduced to the rest of the world since 1995. Today, Ajisen Ramen totals over 600 branches all over the world.
"Tontotsu" is a broth derived from the essence of pork. It takes hours to be emulsified. So, it tastes very rich and deep, and free of the usual pork smell. Our flagship ramen is "Paiku Ramen" (Premium Tender Ribs Ramen.)

You wouldn't think a T55AM2 battle tank could get bogged in a crop field, but it looks like some British blokes at "The Tank School" managed to break one in an inch of mud. The recovery effort took two more armored vehicles, a heavy truck, an excavator and probably about 1,000 gallons of fuel.
"The Tank School" is an open-to-the-public mobile armor playground at a place called Little Trostrey Farm in England. Civilians can show up, pay their money, and play around a field under the watchful eyes of knowledgable instructors.
That explains the "casual attire" of these individuals larking about with military vehicles. It also sounds like a lot of fun.
Despite the tank being in what looks like just a few inches of mud, it seems to have experienced a catastrophic breakdown resulting in an extraction that's quite an ordeal to behold.
The rescue rigs involved are an FV432 APC, FV439 APC, Scammel Pioneer truck and JCB Fastrac construction unit. It's a good thing that tan armored personnel carrier has an orange warning light too, those massive clattering things can really sneak up on you.

and it's only march ...
ml/nj: there were three isolated events on march 1st: joe arpaio detailed fraud committed on behalf of barack obama, we learned of the death of andrew breitbart, and there was a "bomb-scare" at the limbaugh compound in palm beach.
or maybe they weren't so isolated at all?johnnyP: WWBBD? (what would breitbart do?
do you think he would have remained silent about the BC after arpaio's press conference?
what did he mean when he said "wait 'til march 1st"?ml/nj: breitbart gave an interview to jerome corsi the night before his passing. the march 1st comment was for the arpaio press conference revealing fraud and forgery of birth certificate/selective service. also there were other revelations of a witness that heard of bill ayers mother saying obama being a foreign student, there is a "person of interest", there is a criminal investigation ongoing etc.butterdezillion: [the media has] been threatened. i feel like a broken record because i keep saying this, but the claims of doug hagmann have been corroborated. the only reason it hasn't broken into full view is because the story IS real and the witnesses thus far, while willing to give their evidence to PI's and LEO's, are still in danger if their identities are known.
the very fact that "conservatives" have not mentioned [joe arpaio and worldnetdaily's march 1 birther press conference] — even though this report is by a sconstitutionally-assembled law-enforcement body that originally intended to put the "birther nonsense" to rest — tells you that their refusal to report it has nothing to do with the credibility or authority of either the claims or the people making them. the reason they are not reporting it is because they were told by the head of their media company (fox and the radio companies) that if they or any of their guests discussed this issue, their career would be over and their lives and the lives of their family members were questionable.
the death of andrew breitbart the same day as the [arpaio] press conference was not lost on the media members. and [jerome] corsi's revelation at the press conference, that the last interview breitbart did was with sheriff joe just hours before breitbart died, is not wasted on any of them either, i'd bet money.armourup: LOOK.....
brietbart took down ACORN, BeHO's baby.
ACORN was BeHO's own private army.
there is a lot of high tech ways to make someone "die of natural causes".
today BeHO killed 3 birds with one stone.
1. killed the guy who killed ACORN.
2 took sheriff joe's BC new conference out of the press.
3. sent a message to sheriff joe.
i am too much of a conspiracy nut to not think the two were connected.
joe arpaio is old enough i don't think he could be intimidated by threats to HIS life... but he has family.
... BeHO's startin' to play HARD BALL boys and girls....
chrisnj: i bet hannity will be ordered NOT to air breitbart's [alleged obama college] tape!
they are getting desperate and onto a killing spree!kjo: i still think it's more than strange that brietbart died just as he announced at CPAC that he was going to vet obama. maybe it's a coincidence...but don't think the government doesn't have ways to make people suddenly die. we'll never know for sure.
d'oh! of course the gov't has ways to "make people suddenly die" — just ask osama or terry mcveigh. but breitbart? not my idea of a "high-value" target ... but maybe that's just me.
andy from chapel hill: as far as threats of assassination go, i doubt that the [intelligence community] told anyone that the IC might kill a blabbermouth. more likely, the IC has told folks that there are other countries involved and these countries have agents here in the USA who have orders from home to kill anyone who gets too close. i would be much more afraid of the KGB or mossad that i would be of the IC.butterdezillion: i suspect that the death of andrew breitbart right after he dared to interview arpaio - as if he was actually entertaining the idea of reporting on this issue - is not coincidence but a reminder to the rest of the media that soros' threats are not in vain.w.w. smith: this go's beyond fear of being called names or losing advertisers. this is in the realm of "you talk and you and yours all die and there is not enough security to prevent those deaths.
we must remember that the hard line leftists will lie, cheat, steal or murder to advance their agenda. for those of us that think "no way, they couldn't manage that", there are more than enough like van jones, jarrett, the sunstiens, and the names just keep coming. there are at least one million of these dead philosophy zombies perfectly willing to threaten someone with death and carry it out when the threat does not work.
i fully believe that the time has come to kill or be killed.bluebird singing: we shall see, if and when the breitbart video of obama/ayers/college days are released. the domestic terrorists put on suits and infiltrated our governmental institutions. the obama/ayers connection is an example. i disagree with you, i think obama was groomed for exactly what is happening now.butterdezillion: the media have just had a reminder that young reporters in their prime of life who have just interviewed joe arpaio can all of a sudden have a heart attack and die.
expect them to hysterically try to silence the facts. the "threats" theory predicts that to happen. now everybody observe what happens. one of the big measures of a theory is whether it accurately predicts what will happen.
hmm ... i have a feeling that whatever happens, butter's gonna be sticking with that so-called "theory".
kjo: anybody that brings up obama's phoney LFBC/draft card...will be history.
the only guy who would not back down from the threats was brietbart. his death is a cautionary tale...think tucker carlson and others who were close to andrew haven't noticed?
tapes of obama in college were to emerge on march 1, the day of brietbart's death...today's the 3rd...nothing yet...think folks arent' thinking about the implications?flotsam_jetsome: the breitbart death serves the "obama" team on several levels:
1. it disrupts the news cycle (as did the bomb scare at limbaugh's house) so that the media talking heads have something, anything to report other than the findings of sheriff joe's cold case possse.
2. gets rid of a (from their perspective) persistent threat.
3. sends a very clear and chilling message to any journalists out there contemplating reporting on the issue of "obama"'s background, including eligibility ramifications, with the seriousness it surely merits.
a colleague of mine and i were discussing the day before the press conference what big news event would take place that would distract from reporting on the cold case posse investigation results. bam! right on schedule.little jeremiah: and the fluke/slut nonsense has absorbed limbaugh for days, no mention whatsoever of arpaio's report.
