Philadelphia Phillies – Year 4: Still in the first division, but finishing in 4th place with a better record.
With Harry Wright now entering his third year as the Phillies' manager, and with two 20 games winners in Charlie Ferguson and Ed Daily (although both pitchers were also 20 games losers), the Phillies would be positioned to improve on their third place finish of 1885.
The National League of 1886 would be a very much different league compared to the league at the end of 1885, as two franchises, the Providence Grays and the Buffalo Bisons, would both collapse during the off-season, leaving the league with only six teams for the '86 season, including the Phillies: the Beaneaters, the Giants, the Wolverines, the White Stockings and the Maroons being the other five. That situation would be corrected by the league early in 1886 by first admitting into the fold the Washington Nationals (aka Senators, the first NL team to play in the Nation's Capital) in January, and then in February by allowing the Kansas City Cowboys (the first NL team to play beyond the Mississippi River) into the league for a one-year trial. The Phillies would still play their home games at Recreation Park, although a new ballpark, the Philadelphia Base Ball Grounds, later known as Baker Bowl, would be built for them in 1887.
The Phillies' season would start on April 29, with a three-games series against the new Nationals in Washington. The Phillies would spilt the two games that they would play with the Nationals in April, losing the first game 6-3, then winning the second game on April 30, 12-3, before losing the first game played in May, 9-2, starting May off on a losing note, while going home with a 1-2 record. The Phillies would then play a short four-games home stand, with three games being against the Giants and one game against the Beaneaters. The Phillies would win two of their three games with their rivals from New York, before defeating the Beaneaters, ending their short home stand with a 3-1 record and leaving Philadelphia with an overall record of 4-3, as they would begin a nine-games western road trip against St. Louis, Detroit and Chicago. In St. Louis, after dropping the first game, they would win the next two games with the Maroons, but they would then end the road trip mired in a six games losing streak, being swept first by the Wolverines, than by their nemesis the White Stockings, ending the road trip with a record of 2-7. They would then come home for a fifteen-games home stand for the rest of May and the first days of June, facing the Cowboys for the first time for four games, including a doubleheader on the 29, two games with Chicago, three games with the Maroons, three with the Wolverines and three with the Nationals. The Phillies would begin the home stand by winning three of four games from Kansas City, including a sweep of the twinbill, winning the two games by the scores of 1-0 and 9-3. They would then lose the last game of May to the White Stockings by the score of 4-3, thus ending the month of May with a record of 8-11, with an overall record for the season of 9-12.
The Phillies would then win their first game in June, defeating Chicago 3-0, thus splitting the two games of the series. The Phillies would then proceed to sweep their series with the Maroons, lose their series with the Wolverines, going 1-2, and then sweep their series with the Nationals, ending their fifteen-games home stand with a record of 11-4. The Phillies would then conduct a sixteen-games road trip for the rest of June and the beginning of July, which would see them visit New York City for two, the Beaneaters for three, Detroit for a game, Chicago for three, visit Kansas City for the first time for three games, St. Louis for three, then visit Detroit again for another game, before going back home. The Phils would start the trip off by splitting their two-games series with New York, then sweeping the Beaneaters in Boston. The Phillies would then lose their game in Detroit, then the first two games in Chicago before defeating the White Stockings in the third game of the series, thus ending June with a winning record of 13-6 and an overall season record of 22-18. The Phillies would then begin July with a sweep of their next two series with the Cowboys and the Maroons, including their second doubleheader win of the year, this time over the Maroons on July 5 by the scores of 6-1 and 3-2, before leaving St. Louis with a seven-games winning streak. The streak would be broken in Detroit as they would lose to the Wolverines by the score of 2-0, ending their road trip with an 11-5 record. The Phillies would then return to Philadelphia to face their east coast rivals the Giants and the Beaneaters for a five-games home stand, three games with New York and two with Boston. The Phils would lose the first game of the home stand to New York, before winning the next four games against New York and Boston, ending the home stand with a 4-1 record. They would then conduct a three cities, eight-games, east coast road trip to Washington (3), New York (3) and Boston (2). In Washington, they would increase their winning streak to six games by winning their first two meetings with the Nationals, before losing the final game in the series. They would then go on to New York, where they would lose their first two meetings with the Giants, before winning the going away game. The Phillies would then split their two-games series with the Beaneaters, thus ending their east coast trip with a 4-4 record.
The Phils would then come back home for a twenty-games home stand for the rest of July and the balance of August, facing the Cowboys for three games, the Wolverines for three, St. Louis for three, Chicago for two, the Nationals for three, Boston for three and the Giants for three. The Phillies would start the home stand off by sweeping the Cowboys and then losing the first of three games to Detroit, ending July with a record of 17-7 and with an overall record of 39-25. The Phillies would then begin August on a winning note by sweeping their next two games with the Wolverines. They would then lose their three-games series with the Maroons, 1-2. They would then split their series with the White Stockings before sweeping their series with the Nationals, and then winnings both of their series with the Beaneaters and the Giants, both 2-1, thus ending their twenty-games home stand with a record of 14-6. The Phillies would then go back onto the road for the rest of August and most of September, going to Detroit (3), Chicago (3), Kansas City (4), St. Louis (3), Washington (3), Boston (2) and New York (3) for eighteen games. They would win their series with the Wolverines, winning it by going 2-1, before being swept by the White Stockings, ending August with a record of 13-9 and an overall record of 52-34.
The Phillies would start off September by winning their series in Kansas City, 3-1. They would then lose their series in St. Louis 1-2, thus ending the western half of their road trip with a 6-7 record. They would then start the eastern half of their long road trip by winning the first game of their series with the Nationals, then losing the second game, which would be the debut game of future hall of fame manager Connie Mack, before ending up in a 3-3 tie in the series' final game. The Phillies would then go on to Boston, where they would split the series, before heading on to New York, where they would end their road trip by losing the series 0-2-1, with the middle game of the series ending up as a 3-3 tie. The Phillies would end the eastern part of their road trip with a 2-4-2 record, ending the entire road trip with a somewhat respectible 10-11-2 record. The Phillies would then come home, where they would end their season with an eighteen-games home stand for the rest of September and October against the Nationals (3), the White Stockings (5), the Maroons (3), the Cowboys (3) and the Wolverines (4). The Phillies would start the home stand off by sweeping the Nationals, before defeating their western nemesis, the White Stockings in four of the five games they would play, with the other game, the third game in the five-games series, ending up as a 3-3 tie. The Phillies would then have their seven-games winning streak snapped by the Maroons in the first games of their three-games series, ending the month of September with a 13-8-3 record and with an overall season record of 65-42-3. The Phillies would then start off the month of October by winning the next two games with St. Louis, winning the series 2-1. They would then win their series with the Cowboys, going 2-0-1, with the final game of the series ending in a 6-6 tie. They would then start off their final series of the season with an 1-1 tie against the Wolverines, before losing the next game, and then ending the season with a two-games winning streak, ending the series with a 2-1-1 record, ending the home stand with a record of 13-1-2, ending October with a 6-1-2 record and ending the season with a combine record of 71-43-5, for a winning percentage of .623, finishing the 1886 season in fourth place, two and a half games behind the third place Giants and fourteen games behind the first place White Stockings.
In 1886, the Phillies would play 119 games, having winning records against all but three of their opponents, with their best record being a record of 14-2-1 against the Cowboys, followed by a record of 13-4-1 with the Nationals and a record of 10-3 against Boston. Their worst records would be against the second place Detroit Wolverines and the league winner Chicago White Stockings, both being records of 7-10-1. During the season, the Phillies would play 18 games apiece against four fellow NL teams (Nationals, Wolverines, White Stockings and Maroons), meet the Cowboys and the Giants for 17 games each and battle the Beaneaters only 13 times. The Phillies record in shut outs would be 10-5, 17-8 in 1-run games and 27-12 in blowouts. The Phillies home record would be 45-14-3, while their road record would be 26-29-2. Home Attendence for 1886 would be 175,623.
The Phillies' batters would go to bat 4072 times (8th) getting 976 hits (6th) for a team batting average of .240 (5th), a team slugging percentage of .327 (5th) and a team on-base percentage of .289 (5th). The batters would knock in 621 runs (5th) on 424 RBIs, while hitting 145 2Bs (7th), 66 3Bs (4th) and 26 HRs (4th), while receiving 282 walks (3rd) while striking out 516 times (5th). The team would lead the league in stolen bases with 226. The Phillies' pitchers would lead the league in team ERA with a 2.45 mark, as they would pitch a total of 1045 innings (6th), pitching 110 complete games (1st), while finishing 9 other games, having 10 shut outs (1st) and 2 saves (2nd). The pitchers would give up 498 runs (1st) of which 284 would be earned on 923 hits (1st). They would give up 29 home runs (4th), 264 walks (3rd) and 60 wild pitches, while striking out 540 batters (4th).
Among the team's batting leaders, Jim Fogarty would lead the team in batting average with a .293 mark, on-base percentage with .385, and 42 walks, while being tied with George Wood for the team lead in slugging percentage with a .407 mark. Wood would also lead the team in at-bats (450), total plate appearances (473), hits (123), total bases (183), triples (15) and strikeouts (75). Sid Farrar would lead the team in games played with 118, as well as in doubles (19) and home runs (5). Ed Andrews would lead in runs scored with 93, singles (88) and stolen bases (56), also being the league leader in that category in 1886. Joe Mulvey would be the team's RBI leader with 53. Among the pitchers, Charlie Ferguson would lead the team in most pitching categories. He would be the leader in ERA with a 1.98 mark, in wins with 30, becoming the team's first 30-games winner, win-lost percentage with .769, games pitched with 48, games started with 45, games completed with 43, games saved with 2, while also being the league leader in that category, innings pitched with 395.7, strikeouts with 212, batters faced with 1582 and home runs allowed with 11, while being tied with Dan Casey for the team lead in shut outs with 4. Casey, who would win 24 games that season for the team, would also be the team leader in walks with 104, hits allowed with 326, losses with 18, earned runs allowed with 99 and wild pitches with 25. Ed Daily would lead the team in games finished with 4.
The Phillies, while still in the first division, and having improved on their previous season record, are still looking for their first division title, while watching the American Association's St. Louis Browns defeat the National League winner, the White Stockings, in a seven-games post season contest, 4 games to 2.

Dose some one have a proof...what is after death...or what do u guys think (i know that most of u,if not all,are rational people so...i know it will be only interesting thigs that i can 'hear').sorry if u talk about this in other posts..i am know..so please enlight me... :)

well, after death the chemical componentry of our bodies is recycled into the rest of the universe. no big deal. anything good you've done remains in terms of its influence on others and the wider world, and anything bad, likewise.
that's what i reckon. but if you're asking for proof, all i can offer is logic, reason and the strength they confer.
a dead animal decays. its vital organs are no longer functional or capable of being repaired. the entire science of medicine is based on understanding what is required for an individual to function and there is no phenomena classed as "life" that exists without meeting these criteria.
what people refer to as "life after death" is a belief that their subjective consciousness continues to exist. they are able to see without eyes, hear without ears and retain a sense of self without a brain.
many people have had near-death experiences where they experience leaving their body and looking down on the scene. this has convinced a lot of people but experiments have been made where a picture has been left face up on a cabinet in an operating theatre. patients experiening this phenomena have been asked to describe the picture, and failed. the brain, while functioning is capable of creating a very realistic virtual world but some function must exist.
people who have suffered brain damage that has causes loss of consciousness do not see or hear, they wake up wondering what happened because their brain wasn't functioning well enough for them to continue their conscious experience, jsut enough to keep the unconscious functions ticking over.
The idea of a "soul" is what leads otherwise intelligent people to believe that the immense complexity that has built up over the last 4 billion years to make their sense of self, is nothing but an aside to this nebulous idea of a "soul" which exists without any evidence or purpose. If life and consciousness could exist without biology, then biology was always superfluous.
in short, belief in the afterlife is solipsism. the proof of what happens after death exists to those who live on to study the remains, the believer is unable (understandibly given human limitations) to comprehend their own oblivion. we create our own universe and it dies with us, yet we know the universe continues.
there is no need of proof of what happens after death because by definition, death is the absence of life. as for ghosts or whatever; the very concept is laughable and of course breaks the second law of thermodynamics but everything that people believe might happen after death is explainable through an understanding of evolution, anthropology and neurology
Well said!
Just brilliant. Carl, you have heard of the fabulous Australian Tim Minchin - so clever, so funny, and soooo Atheist. And what a perfect answer from Tim to Ramulescu, with humour.
Nobody has proof of anything once they die - and it is up to them to prove life after death etc. not the other way around.
I think we all have a bit of a "man-crush" on Tim Minchin
Ok, now I have to see who this is, what with all the man crushing going on-lol
The evidence suggests that there is no 'after death' for our conscious selves, although it's not conclusive at this point. I wouldn't mind if there was 'something else' but I'm not holding out hope.
No proof but I am sure it will be the way it was before I was born.
@Daniel - good reply.
What is amazing to me is that everything that goes into making my body has been around for hundreds of millions of years in the case of the heavier elements and in the case of the light elements since the start of the universe in the Big Bang and that when I die the physical part of me will disassemble and go on to become parts of many, many wonderful things. I do not know what will become of the energy that buzzes about my brain or if it will retain any of what I consider my consciousness, there is simply no data to support any reasonable hypothesis so it remains a mystery, and perhaps that is where the beauty lays - perhaps we should learn to just let the mystery be.
Before I lost my hearing I recall a song my mother used to love by an american folk singer called Iris Dement called "Let The Mystery Be"
"Everybody's wonderin' what and where they all came from.
Everybody's worryin' 'bout where they're gonna go when the whole thing's done.
But no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me.
I think I'll just let the mystery be! "

Our atoms, or protons, neutrons, and electrons - all the ones that make us up, were in the big bang, or condensed from it.
I'm really glad to meet others that understand this, and I gotta tell you, some days I really feel my age, LOL.
Just think, our protons are still very young and have lived only 1.3 x 10^10 years out of perhaps 10^32.
I would wish our minds continue after physical death, but I'm quite sure they don't.They only seem to be found in close proximity to functioning brains. Anyways, where would they go, and where did they come from if they aren't just products of our brains and metabolism?
Where did they come from, I like that, It should be considered just as much if our sou;s, or minds, continue after we snuff it. :)

Not All Bugs Are Random
Last week, I started discussing white-box testing, which I suggested was important because sometimes software misbehaves in ways that are not evident from the outside.
White-box testing is important for another reason: By looking at a program's structure, we can sometimes predict circumstances in which it is particularly likely to fail. Looking only at a program's externally visible behavior might not reveal those circumstances, which means that we might neglect to check whether the program behaves appropriately under those particular circumstances.
Of course, some such circumstances are easy to predict. For example, if a program deals with a collection of n items, two obvious cases to test are n = 0 and n = 1. However, other such cases may require looking inside the program. For example, any time a program decides to use one or two (or more) algorithms depending on an aspect of its input such as size, we should verify that it works properly as close as possible to the decision boundary on both sides. I've seen quite a few programs that impose arbitrary length limits on, say, the size of an input line or the length of a name. I've also seen far too many such programs that fail when they are presented with input that fits the limit exactly, or is one greater (or less) than the limit. If you know by inspecting the code what those limits are, it is much easier to test for cases near the limits.
Another kind of predictable error is when a program detects that something has gone wrong and retries the operation. What happens, for example, if the failure is permanent? Does the program keep retrying indefinitely? I remember one program, before the days of ubiquitous networking, that transmitted data from one computer to another by phone line. If the computer on the receiving end indicated a failure, the sending computer would terminate the connection, wait a while, then try to send the data again.
This scheme seemed like a useful and robust way to cope with transmission errors. However, its authors did not know that in the interest of conserving resources, a later release of the operating system would impose an arbitrary upper bound on the size of a file. This limit was settable, but its default value was small enough that people would sometimes want to transmit files larger than the default limit. If the file on the sending end was larger than the file size limit on the receiving end, the receiving program would fail when the file it was creating grew beyond the limit. This transgression would show up as an I/O error, which the receiving machine would duly report to the sending machine. The sender, in turn, would drop the connection, wait a while, and then try again. The receiver would create a new temporary file to hold the data, and the whole dance would repeat.
In other words, adding an operating-system feature to limit file lengths wound up consuming more resources. Trying to send a single file to a machine with a small file-size limit would result in an infinite loop of failed send attempts, blocking further communication between the two machines while it slowly consumed all of the disk space on the receiving end.
Serious as these problems may be, there is an even more important reason for white-box testing: security. Security bugs are even harder to detect during testing than performance bugs because one has to assume that security bugs will be exploited maliciously. Many security bugs are really failures to implement correctly a requirement of the form "No matter what the input to this program is, it must not do X." Black-box testing is generally able to verify only what a program does, not what it does not do. However, with a suitable combination of white-box testing and instrumentation, we can often be much more confident in the absence of at least certain kinds of security bugs. We'll discuss such techniques further next week.

Lady Gaga may be ruling the world, but Grace Jones isn't a fan.
"I really don't think of her at all. I go about my business," Grace told the UK's Guardian newspaper after the former Studio 54 star and one-time Andy Warhol muse was asked what she thought of the modern day headline grabbing pop singer.
The singer/model/actress and all around legend told the newspaper that the reports were true – Gaga had asked to collaborate with her — but Grace turned Gaga down.
"Yes, she did, but I said no," Grace said. "I'd just prefer to work with someone who is more original and someone who is not copying me, actually."
Grace, who has been hitting the stage across Europe recently in a host of eye-catching, outlandish stage outfits, was asked if she thinks Gaga borrowed style ideas from the icon, something the legend didn't say no to.
"Well, you know, I've seen some things she's worn that I've worn, and that does kind of piss me off," she told the newspaper.
Grace, who is in her 60's and was once a Bond girl, added that she likely wouldn't be checking Gaga out in concert.
"I wouldn't go to see her," she said.
While Grace may not be a fan, the cast of "Glee" adores the pint-sized blonde singer, who they are channeling for an upcoming episode
"We're doing our Lady Gaga episode right now, so we were dancing our butts off this morning," Lea Michele, who plays glee club standout Rachel Berry on the series, told Access Hollywood earlier this week.
"We're all different Lady Gagas," Lea added of the upcoming show. "All the girls have different Lady Gaga looks."

Remember when we looked at the tradition that Patrick Ferguson was keeping two mistresses called "Virginia" in his camp at King's Mountain, and that one of them died in in the battle and was buried with him?
Well, it seems that George Hofstalar, a veteran of the battle, referred to her in his pension application: "There was also a woman killed & lay by his side & said to [be] his kept mistress."
So there's an eyewitness account corroborating the archaeological evidence of a second burial in Ferguson's grave. Pretty neat!

Dame Judy Dench is one talented and tough lady, so news this weekend that she's battling blindness due to macular degeneration is especially sad to hear. Her positive outlook and determination to not let it slow her down, however, are both encouraging and inspirational.
In a poignant interview with the Daily Mirror, the Oscar-winning actress said it's the same disease that her mother had. She has wet macular degeneration in one eye and dry macular degeneration in the other. While she is undergoing treatment that she hopes stops the progression of the disease, it has taken a severe toll on her sight already.
She told the paper that the disease has progressed so far that she can't see the faces of friends and family even when they're right in front of her. She can no longer read scripts, but she says that hasn't stopped her so far from continuing her acting career (she's currently filming the James Bond film "Skyfall"), and she doesn't intend to let it stop her anytime in the near future either.
To learn her lines, she has people read them to her. She says she actually likes it that way, because she can then sit there and imagine the story in her mind.
She told the paper:
As long as there is a possibility of working I'm not going to retire because if I retire nothing will work any more and it's hard enough as it is. I'm very conscious that I'm in the minority in that I love what I do. How big is the number of people who are running to work to do a job that they like? And how lucky to be employed at it – how incredibly lucky.
She is such an amazing and inspirational woman from whom all of young Hollywood's actresses could learn a great deal. So many of them are presented with incredible opportunities only to waste them and their lives with bad choices instead of recognizing just how lucky they are. Judy has always shown strength of character both on screen and off, and whether she can see or not, we want to see her on the big screen for as long as possible.
Have you known anyone with macular degeneration? Are you a fan of Dame Judy Dench?

Miss Snark:
just to clarify about authors and the BEA (yes, hit with with a clue stick if you wish!): I have a book coming out next week with a NY house--I made a commitment for the weekend of the BEA this year--should I click my heels, forget the BEA, enjoy my weekend, and continue writing and flaking the new book that's come out?
If I get your drift, it's my agent who should be there, working her list, and yes, talking about my book if the opportunity presents itself?
You got it. Your agent will be merrily selling your book to Andorra through Zoroastria while you are off lollygagging about in the sunshine. Enjoy it. There are other places where your presence will be the one needed but BEA isn't it.
BEA is a zoo. The regional bookseller trade shows are MUCH more efficient and inexpensive places to meet booksellers. I'm a huge fan of the regionals and haunt them regularly.

Musings on my family, work and things I find interesting. Mainly, this was / is intended to record things for my kids so that they can get an insight into how I feel about them, plus I haven't done any writing for a long time, so would like to get some skill in that sphere again.
Very Helpful! Thanks James.
thanks a lot..it was great
Will you please post the import section of this code too. Like I am getting compilation exception for these PLAIN_TEXT Hex CIPHER_TEXT SHARED_KEY.
@Tahir: Hex is from Apache Commons Codec.
The constants will vary according to your needs. SHARED_KEY is what you and the 3rd party that you are exchanging data with have agreed. PLAIN_TEXT and CIPHER_TEXT are hopefully tests that have been similarly agreed / defined in sample documentation. If you don't have any, then I would suggest defining some, so that with the common shared key, the String "Hello World" results in the cipher text ????.
I must try to encrypt a password: 888888 by 3DES.
Key is a String like : 256EE615CB64085E0E1386895E5E6BC28A621F7C314016DC
and then after encrypting password with this key is : D2C9AA1103116499
But I search and try many times, but don't have any associated with it. Can u help me ?
Great job dude! This was exactly what I was looking for.
@jundat: I get a different result. In your case, do you know whether you should be using a particular initialization vector?

Is it the same algorithm as "DESede" in Java?
I think not.. Could you help me with algorithm id in Java that is exactly the same as ALG_SID_3DES_112?
@Oleksandr: does the code as is not work on Windows for you? I don't have access to a Windows machine myself, but I think it should work?
Many thanks, really.
I feel so thankful, that if you had the Starbucks plugin, I would give you a coffee, pal.
I am facing some problem while encoding and decoding the data. The requirement is Triple DES algorithm in CBC mode and right padding with '0'. I was developed the Code based in the CBC algorithm base.
My Code :
private static Key genarateKey() throws Exception {
final Key key;
final String UNICODE_FORMAT = "UTF8";
final String DESEDE_ENCRYPTION_SCHEME = "DESede";
final String myEncryptionKey = "CF54F07BF324646BC5D3D62A651B21D20BD322EBAE238985";
key = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance(DESEDE_ENCRYPTION_SCHEME).generateSecret(new DESedeKeySpec(myEncryptionKey.getBytes(UNICODE_FORMAT)));
return key;
public static byte[] encryptData(String message,byte cipherIv[]) throws Exception {
final Key key = genarateKey();
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
//final IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec(new byte[8]);
final IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec(cipherIv);
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key, iv);
byte[] bytesData = message.getBytes("UTF8");
byte[] raw = cipher.doFinal(bytesData);
/*BASE64Encoder encoder = new BASE64Encoder();
String encryptData = encoder.encode(raw);
return encryptData;*/
return raw;
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
String dec = "2#2#purchase##1#1";
System.out.println("Before padding:"+dec);
int count = dec.length()%8;
if(count != 0 ){
while(count != 8)
System.out.println("After padding:"+dec);
int j = 0;
byte [] cipherIv = new byte[8];
for(int i =0;i<dec.length()/8;i++){
String blockMsg = dec.substring(j, (j+=8)-1);
cipherIv = TripleDSE.encryptData(blockMsg,cipherIv);
System.out.println("Encrypted data:"+cipherIv);
String hexValue = new String(Hex.encodeHex(cipherIv));
System.out.println("Hexadecimal Value:"+hexValue);
Please give the Solution for this.
Hi I am new to Cryptography, I have question in triple des(3des): encryption is done in Oracle function DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.DES3Encrypt , is that possible I can decrypt same in using java API.
I have only key and encrypted password to decrypt. I have tried couple of examples, when I decrypt in java , Ii am getting different value.
Is that possible if something is encrypted in oracle and can be decrypt in java
I wanna doing 3DES using keying option 1.What bits this program used and what keying option it used?please reply me.thanks u.

When did cops become so cowardly and pathetic?
Paul Joseph Watson
Tuesday, April 17, 2012
Police in Milledgeville, Georgia handcuffed and charged a 6-year-old girl with assault for throwing a tantrum in school but instead of apologizing for such unnecessary treatment, the chief of police praised his officers for their actions.
After kindergartner Salecia Johnson knocked over a shelf that injured the principal, cops were called, Johnson was handcuffed and taken to the police station where she was charged with assault.
Milledgeville's acting police chief Dray Swicord praised the actions of the arresting officer for dealing with the deadly threat posed by the girl.
"Our policy is that any detainee transported to our station in a patrol vehicle is to be handcuffed in the back. There is no age discrimination on that rule," Swicord told 13WMAZ.
"A 6-year-old in kindergarten. They don't have no business calling the police and handcuffing my child," said Earnest Johnson, Salecia's father.
This is just the latest example in a growing trend of police officers treating young children as dangerous criminals. Zero tolerance has obliterated common sense and the routine arrest of children is another symptom that America is now a police state.
– Back in December a 13-year-old middle school student in Albuquerque, New Mexico was handcuffed and hauled off to juvenile detention for "burping audibly" in class.
– In January, 12-year-old Sarah Bustamantes was arrested by police in Austin, Texas for spraying perfume on herself.
– Also in January, cops in Charlton, Massachusetts were dispatched to collect an overdue library book from a 5-year-old girl.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:74}
– A 6-year-old San Francisco boy was detained for 2 hours by the principal and forced to confess to "sexual assault" for brushing the leg of his friend during a game of tag. The boy was later charged with "sexual battery".
– A similar overreaction ensued when an Orange River Elementary School assistant principal called cops after seeing a girl kiss a boy during PE class, labeling it a possible sex crime.
– In Stockton, California, a 5-year-old boy with ADHD was "handcuffed with zip ties on his hands and feet, forced to go to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and was charged with battery on a police officer," after the cop claimed the boy had kicked him in the knee.
– In Florida, 6-year-old girl weighing 40 pounds was handcuffed and then sent to a mental health facility for screaming and throwing objects in class.
These are just a handful of the cases that have occurred recently and there are probably scores more that don't even get reported by the media.
How on earth can we expect police officers to deal with real crime and actual dangerous criminals when a significant number of them seem to be intimidated by children who throw temper tantrums?
When did cops become so pathetic?
While the federal government is training law enforcement that Americans who express grievances against the state or who are engaged in political activists represent a threat akin to terrorists, cops are presumably becoming so terrified by this prospect that they are even treating little kids as violent criminals.
The fact that elementary school children are being arrested for misbehaving or being charged with sexual assault for overenthusiastic games of tag serves as another urgent warning that both law enforcement and the school system in America are rotten to the core and run by complete morons who have dispensed with all semblance of common sense.

"The 'Bush Doctrine': Can Preventive War Be Justified?"
Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, Vol. 32, 2009
U of St. Thomas Legal Studies Research Paper No. 09-08
ROBERT J. DELAHUNTY, University of St. Thomas School of Law (Minnesota)
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
JOHN YOO, University of California at Berkeley School of Law
Email: email@example.com
We continue to live in a dangerous world. We are exposed to the risk that hostile states or terrorist groups with global reach might attack our civilian population or those of our allies using weapons of mass destruction. In such circumstances, it might seem natural for U.S. policymakers to consider preventive war as a possible tool for countering such threats. Yet in the current climate of opinion, such thinking would be controversial – in large part, no doubt, because of the continuing disputes over the normative, strategic, and legal wisdom of what has been called the ?Bush Doctrine.?
Preventive war, in appropriate circumstances, can be justified for reasons that are closely analogous to those usually offered to justify humanitarian intervention. The key difference is that in preventive war the intervenors protect their own populations, whereas in humanitarian intervention the intervenors protect the target state?s population. Although critics of preventive war tend to be sympathetic to humanitarian intervention, the underlying logic for both uses of force is substantially the same.
In this Essay, we first explain what we mean by ?preventive? war, and how it is distinguishable from ?preemptive? war. Then we briefly consider whether, as critics of the Bush Doctrine allege, the War in Iraq was virtually unprecedented in the Nation?s history or was, instead, one of several major conflicts fought by the United States that could fairly be described as preventive wars. Finally, we shall recommend certain normative guidelines and criteria for policymakers to follow in deciding whether to initiate a ?preventive? war.
Journal of Conflict Security Law, Vol. 13, pp. 393-400, Winter 2008
Notre Dame Legal Studies Paper No. 09-09
MARY ELLEN O'CONNELL, Notre Dame Law School
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Within hours of the 9/11 attacks in the United States, President George W. Bush declared ?a global war on terrorism?. Experts around the world assumed this declaration was a rallying cry, a rhetorical device to galvanize the nation to serious action. By November 2001, however, the evidence began to mount that the President was ordering actions that could only be lawful in a de jure armed conflict: targeting to kill without warning, indefinite detention without trial, and search and seizure on the high seas without consent. It was difficult to criticize these actions on the basis of international law, however, given that international law contained no widely accepted definition of armed conflict. By May 2005, the International Law Association determined that there was a pressing need for a report on the meaning of armed conflict supported by international law. The Use of Force Committee presented its Initial Report on the Meaning of Armed Conflict in International Law at the Rio de Janeiro biennial meeting of the ILA. The Report concludes that all armed conflicts have as minimum two necessary characteristics: 1.) the presence of organized groups 2.) engaged in intense armed fighting. The Report indicates that while the United States has been engaged in an armed conflict in Afghanistan and in Iraq since 9/11, it has not been engaged in a global armed conflict. The Initial Report will be expanded for presentation in final form in 2010 at The Hague biennial meeting.
"Australian Terror Laws and Academic Freedom"
FREE SPEECH IN FEARFUL TIMES: AFTER 9/11 IN CANADA, THE U.S., AUSTRALIA & EUROPE, Turk J. & Mason A., eds., pp. 234-244, Canada: James Lorimer & Company Limited
U of Melbourne Legal Studies Research Paper No. 391
JOO-CHEONG THAM, University of Melbourne
Email: email@example.com
In Australia, the domestic ?War on Terror? has been waged through a multitude of laws with at least 26 separate pieces of anti-terrorism laws passed since the September 11 attacks.1 More disturbing than the pace of legislative enactment is the character of the laws passed. These laws mean that Australian security and police agencies now have the power to detain without trial. Broad discretion has also been conferred upon the government to ban so-called ?terrorist organisations?.
These laws also cloak the operations of police and security organisations with greater secrecy, criminalise speech and heighten the risk of political and religious persecution. It is these features of the ?War on Terror? that particularly threaten academic freedom in Australia.
"Warrantless Wiretapping, FISA Reform, and the Lessons of Public Liberty: A Comment on Holmes' Jorde Lecture"
California Law Review, Vol. 97, No. 407, 2009
PAUL M. SCHWARTZ, UC Berkeley School of Law
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
This Essay responds to Stephen Holmes? Jorde Lecture, which was delivered at Boalt Hall on November 5, 2007. It builds on his model of ?public liberty? by discussing how private liberty, and information privacy in particular, is a precondition for public liberty. For Holmes, private liberty is largely a negative right – a right to be free from governmental interference. In contrast, this Essay considers privacy to be an element of public rights. Participation in a democracy requires individuals to have an underlying capacity for self-determination, which requires some personal privacy.
This Essay analyzes a number of Holmesian concepts through the lens of the recent amendment of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). In Part I, I describe the background of FISA, the National Security Agency?s (NSA) warrantless surveillance program in violation of this statute, and the amendments to this law in the Protect America Act of 2007, a short term statutory ?fix? that has expired, and the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, which remains in effect.
In Part II, I turn to an analysis of the challenges to private and public liberty posed by the NSA?s surveillance. I organize this Part around three topics: (1) past wisdom as codified in law; (2) the impact of secrecy on government behavior; and (3) institutional lessons. As we shall see, a Holmesian search for the wisdom previously collected in law proves quite difficult. FISA regulated some aspects of intelligence gathering and left the intelligence community entirely free to engage in others. Over time, moreover, technological innovations and altered national security concerns transformed the implications of the past policy landscape. As a result, the toughest questions, which concern surveillance of foreign-to-domestic communications, do not receive an easy answer from the past.
Regarding the impact of secrecy on government behavior, the analysis is, at least initially, more straightforward. As Holmes discusses, the Bush administration was adept at keeping secrets not only from the public and other branches of government, but from itself. It is also striking how little Congress knew about NSA activities while amending FISA. The larger lessons, however, prove yet more complicated: strong structural and political factors are likely to limit the involvement of Congress and courts in this area. This Essay concludes by confronting these institutional lessons and evaluating elements of a response that would improve the government?s performance by crafting new informational and deliberative structures for it.
"The Dilemma of Direct Participation in Hostilities"
ERIC CHRISTENSEN, affiliation not provided to SSRN
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
A universal and comprehensive definition of direct participation in hostilities (DPH) does not exist. Furthermore, modern warfare?s tendency to blur the distinction between combatant and civilian necessitates some revision of DPH. However, States have incentives to pursue narrow or broad interpretations of DPH, or even both. These contradictory strategies create a dilemma for policymakers who seek to revise the concept of DPH. Any revision is likely to put some group of individuals at risk; there is not a simple answer to the question of how best to revise DPH. Instead, a radical revision of DPH is needed. This report will briefly examine the law of war and then explore the relative merits of the U.S., Israeli, and the International Committee of the Red Cross?s interpretations of DPH. Lastly, this report will recommend potential solutions to the dilemma of DPH interpretation, most notably a membership-based approach.
"Towards Military Rule?: A Critique of Executive Discretion to Use the Military in Domestic Emergencies"
Marquette Law Review, Vol. 91, No. 3, 2008
Vermont Law School Research Paper No. 09-01
JACKIE GARDINA, Vermont Law School
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Following 9/11 and in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the Bush Administration called for an increased role for the Department of Defense and the federal armed forces in responding to domestic emergencies. Through a variety of statutory measures, Congress answered the President's request for enhanced authority, increasing the Executive Branch's already enormous discretionary power to deploy the federal armed forces domestically. But some members of Congress have begun to question the propriety of such authority housed almost exclusively in the Executive Branch. By increasing the military's presence in the domestic sphere the federal government is obscuring the traditional lines between military and civilian roles. Even when sanctioned by civil leaders, the increased role of the armed forces in the domestic life endangers civil liberties and the democratic process.
The central purpose of this Article is to expose the erosion of the structural checks on the Executive's power to deploy the military domestically to execute the laws and quash public disorder. It begins by briefly describing the historical bases for the founding generation's mistrust of an executive with unbridled access to a military force. Next, it identifies the structural protections that were placed in the Constitution in response to these concerns, placing special emphasis on congressional control. In Part III, it describes the erosion of the structural checks, focusing first on the division of power between Congress and the Executive and then turning to the federalism issues. It offers a startling picture of how, over the last two plus centuries, excessive discretionary power has been delegated to the Executive Branch. Finally, Part IV offers a modest proposal that recognizes the dangers inherent in the introduction of military force into civilian society and attempts to restore the checks originally envisioned by the Founders while still providing adequate flexibility to respond to modern day exigencies.
"Justifying the Political Question in War: The Natural Source, Substance, and Scope of Political Power"
MATTHEW JORDAN COCHRAN, Campbell University School of Law
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Attempts by plaintiffs to avoid induction into the armed forces, to enjoin the President's military orders, and to contest war taxing and spending – each claim asserting the "unconstitutionality" of military actions then underway – have been thwarted by justiciability doctrines. The most persuasive of these doctrines, but for reasons distinct from and more compelling than its traditional justifications, is the political question doctrine.
The traditional political question doctrine rubric, as shown by its application during and following the Vietnam War, has proven misleading and largely incomplete. It becomes important to understand that social contract principles – and not doctrinal slight of hand – forbid unelected judges from answering war questions. The "political question result" should be seen as our government's sensitivity (whether innate, learned, or bitter) to the natural boundaries within which it may operate legitimately.

I'm in love with a book I'm reading and think you might like it too. In many ways it encapsulates my dream job: interviewing artists and designers about their practice over many decades.
'Artists in Conversation' by Australian journalist Janet Hawley has just been published and is well worth a read.
Hawley interviews many interesting (mostly Australian) artists and presents the book as a series of essays about each one. As this review points out "Spanning continents and decades, Artists in Conversation brings to life the creative talents of more than 30 artists including Brett Whiteley, Ben Quilty, Margaret Olley, Bill Henson, John Brack, Sidney Nolan, Arthur Boyd, Adam Cullen, John Wolseley, John Olsen and Albert Tucker, among others."
I've read about 7 chapters so far and was moved to tears by one in particular where Hawley reprints letters between the then dying Lloyd Rees and Brett Whiteley. So poignant.
What's quite special about this collection of artist portraits is the way in which Hawley has developed quite intimate friendships with each of them over long periods of time. Often holidaying with the artists and their families, and always being invited for studio visits and meals and long, interesting, thoroughly-worth-reading conversations. She has the inside scoop on what plagues them, what stirs and motivates them and what fame has meant for their lives and their creative work.
You can listen to an interview with Janet about her book here recorded 15 November on ABC Radio National Books and Arts Daily.
Fascinating, I tell you!
Dream job indeed. So I'm putting it out there. I'm available to do this kind of project for printmakers if anyone has funding. Just saying.....

Malaria vaccine development is aimed at preventing
malaria infection by helping the body develop immunity
against the malaria parasite.
Scientists who are developing new
malaria vaccines have several challenges to overcome, such as:
Finding a vaccine is vital to decreasing the illness and
death caused by malaria infection. More study is needed before people can rely
on vaccines to protect them from malaria infection. Until a more effective
vaccine is available, avoiding mosquito bites and using medicines are the only
ways to prevent malaria infection. (For more information, see the Prevention
and Medications sections of the topic Malaria.)
Blood-stage vaccines prevent or
contain the malaria infection by limiting the growth of the malaria parasite in
the bloodstream. Some vaccines are showing promise in clinical trials.1, 2, 3 But no blood-stage vaccine that can
prevent malaria is available to the public yet.
are being tested that prevent the spread of malaria.4
The vaccine works by preventing the malaria parasites from developing inside a
mosquito. So a mosquito that bites a person infected with malaria cannot pass
the infection on to another person. The vaccine does not prevent or treat
malaria in a person already infected.

The Unexpected Influences of Musical Giants – Tupac, Nirvana, Kanye and More
Collaboration across genres is nothing new in the world of popular music although the results often run the gamut. One of the earliest examples of blending seemingly radically different genres together is Run-D.M.C.'s collaboration with Aerosmith in 1986. Public Enemy followed suit in 1991 recording a new version of "Bring the Noise" full of pounding double bass and abrasive distortion with thrash metal outfit Anthrax. The newfound genre known as rap rock continued to flourish through the early 90s with acts like Rage Against the Machine and Faith No More becoming both commercially and critically successful.
Most artists, however, chose to remain closer to their own genre and style and keep their influences to themselves or as inspiration. It's no surprise then the amount of influence or inspiration artists that are associated with their own genre can exude upon the next generation. Some influences though seem so juxtaposed with a newer artist's style that it warrants a closer look.
Below are 5 artists whose influences are as unexpected as their talent is wide.
Lil' Wayne – Smells like Teen Spirit
Before Weezy was blowing up radios across the world with hits like "Lollipop" and "Got Money," he was putting on performances as part of the drama club at Eleanor McMain Secondary School and listening to Generation X's most beloved band, Nirvana. The grunge band's rebellious nature and videos full of kids throwing themselves around out of apathy led Tunechi to say the following about "Smells Like Teen Spirit's" influence on him:
"Because I was young and I actually listened to the lyrics, and I probably felt at that time that I was rebelling and I could associate myself with that and relate to the things [Cobain] was talking about and speaking about in the song. I probably couldn't, but I thought I could."
While it's hard to directly detect Nirvana's influence in the New Orleans rapper's music, Weezy can always be found swinging his dreads around much like the young Seattle natives before him.
Tupac Shakur – To be or not to be?
Long before causing suburban kids to scrawl the words "Thug Life" across their knuckles, Shakur was performing in Shakespeare's plays at the Baltimore School of the Arts. Although existing nearly 400 years apart, the East coast rapper acknowledged the Shakespearian psychology of inter-gang wars and inter-cultural conflict during a 1995 interview where he said:
"… I love Shakespeare. He wrote some of the rawest stories, man. I mean look at Romeo and Juliet. That's some serious ghetto shit. You got this guy Romeo from the Bloods who falls for Juliet, a female from the Crips, and everybody in both gangs are against them. So they have to sneak out and they end up dead for nothing. Real tragic stuff.
And look how Shakespeare busts it up with Macbeth. He creates a tale about this king's wife who convinces a happy man to chase after her and kill her husband so he can take over the country. After he commits the murder, the dude starts having delusions just like in a Scarface song. I mean the king's wife just screws this guy's whole life up for nothing…"
The list doesn't stop there though. Laying deeper in the vaults of historical figures who have influenced Makavelli is, of course, Niccolo Machiavelli, along with numerous others like Sun Tzu and Mikhail Bakunin.
Tyler, The Creator – Love Will Tear Us Apart
Odd Future's charismatic frontman has been steadily creating since the ripe young age of 7 when he would take out the cover from an album's case and imagine his own with a track list that included song times far before having written anything. By the age of 14 Tyler had taught himself how to play piano and was working on what is now his unique mix of outrageous, depraved, and rebellious music. His tastes and influences run wide as heard on the song "Fin" from The Odd Future Tape where he mentions Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP and Radiohead's Kid A as being 2 of of many favorite albums.
What may come as a surprise to many though is his love for the English post-punk band Joy Division. In the song "Leather Head" for instance, Tyler begins, "Fucking modern day Ian Curtis I oughta been" and continues, "How can he move on Waka Flocka and back to Joy Division?" In retrospect, the influence can be heard through the Los Angeles native's dark, intensely personal, and oftentimes, suicidal lyrics.
Nirvana – Bring the Noise
Nirvana's influence on the world of music at large is undeniable and can still be heard today. The artists that influenced the Northwesterners include easily identifiable ones like Led Zeppelin, the Pixies, and The Stooges whose album, Raw Power, Kurt Cobain labeled his favorite album of all time.
Another one of Cobain's favorites, scribbled in the notes of his journal, is Public Enemy's seminal album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. In 1991, 3 years after the album's release Cobain stated,
"Rap music is the only vital form of music introduced since punk rock."
The 2 groups co-headlined Reading Festival the next year and Chuck D continued to reciprocate the gesture as late as 1999 in the song "Do You Wanna Go Our Way???" where he raps, "Figure I smashed the pumpkin / So I parallel the brains of Cobain."
Kanye West – Lost in the Woods
Easily the most recognizable and reciprocal set of influences on this list is between clean-cut, fashionable Kanye West and bearded indie musician Bon Iver.
Those following the path of auto-tune throughout the last decade will recall T-Pain's unrivaled used of the effect. The pitch-perfecting effect remained as a pop staple for some time when Bon Iver's Justin Vernon began to experiment with it in what culminated as the track "Woods" from 2009's Blood Bank. Mr. West caught wind of it and invited Vernon to his studio in Hawaii to work on 2010's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. While only 2 of the 10 songs they worked on made the cut, those 2 include some of the most innovative and original in the likes of "Monster" and "Lost in the World."
The collaboration paid off during a memorable concert at the Bowery Ballroom where the Wisconsin native joined the Louis Vuitton Don along with Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, and John Legend for what was an intimate and star-studded event. The self-described, "introspective, emotional country kid" went on to defend Yeezy's onstage rant at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards by agreeing that Beyonce really did have the best video of the decade.

The Wamps could not hold a 4-0 lead Wednesday night and lost to Needham, 5-4, in the Div. 1 South semifinals.
QUINCY -- All good things come to an end.
That includes the Braintree High baseball team's 2018 season, which came to a close Wednesday night at Adams Field. The Wamps, who led 4-0, wound up losing to Bay State Conference rival Needham, 5-4, on a walk-off infield single that sent the Rockets on to the Division 1 South final.
No. 8 Needham (15-8) will play No. 3 Wellesley (18-5) in an all-BSC title game (details TBA).
Braintree, seeded 12th, finished with a 13-10 record.
"It was definitely a turbulent season -- we've had a lot of ups and downs. We caught some fire in the tournament and it looked pretty good to start tonight, but at the end of the day they just flat out beat us," said Braintree coach Bill O'Connell. "We had opportunities and jumped out to a good lead. We had our chances to open it up. We just couldn't capitalize."
The Wamps took a 4-0 lead after three innings, but couldn't cash in on late-game opportunities, notably leaving the bases loaded in the fifth inning.
The Rockets got to Braintree reliever Kyle Roche late, scoring all five runs over the last four innings, including the the game-winner in the bottom of the seventh. With the bases loaded and no one out, Needham's Alec Sharton delivered the walk-off RBI, hitting a ball in the hole between the shortstop and third baseman. The Wamps could not make a play as Steven Donovan raced home.
"I thought we had a good approach in the first half of the game. Their pitcher was throwing a lot of offspeed pitches, so our plan was to try to go the other way," said O'Connell. "Their pitcher settled in a little bit toward the middle innings, but when you have a 4-0 lead that late into the game you should be able to close it, and we weren't able to do so."
Despite the loss, Braintree pitcher Jack Collins was fantastic, throwing four innings due to a pitch limit, allowing one earned run on three hits, while striking out seven.
"Jack Collins pitched really well; he pitched a little bit on Monday, so we had a plan going into the game that four innings was going to be his max," O'Connell said. "We got to the fifth and stuck Kyle Roche in there, who threw strikes. Needham just strung hits together when they needed to."
The Wamps went ahead 2-0 in the second inning, thanks to DH Brendan Danahy (RBI triple) and second basemen Marco Carnes (RBI single).
Braintree struck again for two more runs in the third as outfielder Billy Silvia plated Collins with a sacrifice fly and Danahy added an RBI single.
Braintree had a fine tournament run, upsetting No. 5 Silver Lake and No. 4 Brookline en route to the Div. 1 South semifinals.
The Wamps graduate standout senior catcher Alex Kennedy, who helped Braintree win a Super 8 title back in 2016. Kennedy, a Div. II Southern New Hampshire commit, collected 37 hits on the season, while reaching over 100 hits for his career.
"Alex Kennedy is arguably one of the best hitters I've ever coached," O'Connell mentioned. "Back when he was a sophomore he hit a walk-off base hit to win us the state championship. He's an extremely talented offensive player. Southern New Hampshire is getting a terrific ballplayer."
Braintree will look to improve in 2019 as much of the roster will be back.
"We have our entire pitching staff coming back and some returning position players, so this is a great learning tool heading into next season," O'Connell said. "These competitive games are the reason why you play the game, to have this intensity and this feeling. At the end of the day we finished 13-10, we rebounded well after a shaky regular season. This end result will be a great learning experience heading into next year."

Making God a presence in a child's life is a geeky concept. And geeky is good, according to author Marybeth Hicks, who wrote "Bringing Up Geeks: Genuine, Enthusiastic Empowered Kids," a parental guidebook on "how to protect your kid's childhood in a grow-up-too-fast world."
Making God a presence in a child's life is a geeky concept. And geeky is good, according to author Marybeth Hicks, who wrote "Bringing Up Geeks: Genuine, Enthusiastic Empowered Kids," a parental guidebook on "how to protect your kid's childhood in a grow-up-too-fast world." Geeks are not outcasts. They are children who have the confidence to run counter to the "culture of cool." They are the kids who read, who speak intelligently. Healthy interests, self-respect and having fun is very cool. But parents face a David vs. Goliath battle against peer pressure (from adults and kids), the Internet and the sexualization of children at younger and younger ages. "Bringing Up Geeks" is a how-to for besieged parents who value raising wholesome children above fitting in with the status quo. Preserving childhood innocence requires setting limits, follow-through and prizing good character over great gadgets. The role of religion is one aspect of a child's wholeness. An active spiritual life is empowering to children, according to Hicks, a practicing Catholic and mother of four. How to create a relationship with God is found in the tenets of all religions. "In fact, when it comes to children and religion, my geek-parenting experience convinces me that it's not which religion we practice and teach our children, but that we teach them one," wrote Hicks in the chapter titled "Raising a Faithful Child." Kids have a natural yearning for spirituality. She shared the findings of Dr. Robert Coles, a psychiatrist, who wrote "The Spiritual Life of Children" and concluded that all children have an innate curiosity about spirituality, and soul-searching begins at a very early age. The Harvard professor's book is based on 30 years of interviews and research into children's psyches. Faith can help kids get through the painful hurdles of childhood from which no one is exempt. "Bringing Up Geeks" shared findings such as there is a strong correlation between religious practice and overall happiness in family life. Kids of parents who engage in regular religious practice are better behaved and more well-adjusted than other kids. Children whose parents regularly attended church and talked at home about their religious beliefs showed better self-control, social skills and approaches to learning than kids of nonreligious parents. Religious teens engage less often in high-risk behavior than their nonreligious peers. How to promote a more spiritual and religious outlook with kids? Hicks had three suggestions. Look up toward a Godly perspective. Even when we don't understand what's going on, God has a plan and we benefit from his rules. Look out at others. Giving and serving reap the rewards of friendship and a healthy community Look in to develop self-reflection, prayer and meditation, which strengthen the heart in times of trouble. Each year, Hicks' family of six sets out on a ritual walk in the autumnal twilight. Their four children are now ages 18, 16, 14 and 10. With Scotty the dog in tow, the kids share their hopes for the coming school year, such as sports goals, better grades or a personal best. It is a time for recalling memories and looking ahead to changes. Parenting is a stewardship. To be raised toward independence and responsibility, kids are better prepared someday to use their unique talents for the good of all. It's not just about achievements yet to be reached. "Somewhere in the planning, we have to set a goal about being the person God wants us each to be – a person who may be asked to suffer, to sacrifice, and to search for meaning not only in our accomplishments but in our failures," Hicks wrote. Another school year brings on pressures to fit in, and Hicks encourages parents to view "geek" and other not-so-cool words to be worn as badges of honor, when she wrote: To be a brainiac is to accept God's gift of intellect; to use our abilities to discover and enjoy God's awesome creation – our universe. To be sheltered is to accept God's gift of innocence; to see the world through unspoiled eyes and to appreciate life with a sense of wonder. To be uncommon is to accept God's gift of uniqueness; to claim our own interests and passions and follow our own paths, not just follow others. To be a late bloomer is to accept God's gift of dignity; to refuse to be exploited by others. Geeks in progress – it's never too late to raise a Genuine, Enthusiastic and Empowered Kid.
