My wife is a doctoral student in child and adolescent physchology, writing her dissertation on the ways parents use technology to monitor their child's activities. It would be an enormous help if you could visit and take a short survey to assist us all in understanding how to best cope with and monitor our technology-savvy children.

Use cell phone text spy software to gain peace of mind. Every parent finds themselves concerned over their child’s activities at some point or another. It’s a difficult time for parents: as their children learn how to be more independent, they are left in the strange vacuum of not having quite as much control over their children as before.

SENT: Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 1:08 PMDr. Greer,I think that it is great that you were able to take the time to look at my blog. I am sorry that my opinion of the situation seemedspecious and self-serving to you, please to not think that I had intended to insult the integrity of anyone on your council. If anything, I had hoped that my piece would inspire you to be a little clearer about the Advisory Council's project. Please feel free to write the Hall Institute an Op-Ed and spend perhaps 750 words or more explaining the project of the Advisory Council in a concise way that New Jerseyans will understand–I think letting people know what you are proposing and why you are proposing it is very important. We at the Hall Institute welcome all view points and because of your direct involvement with the deeper issues of higher education I think it would be great to have yours represented on our site. Also, this week there is sort of a higher education theme on the Institute's main site. Please feel free to respond to any of our higher education articles that are up this week or any that you find in our archives.All the best,Jarrett

My daughter was raised on "gender neutral" toys for the most part, and I think it actually helped her later.

Don't forget legos, once the baby is old enough not eat them!

Building sets help a child's spatial skill development.

If someone gave her a "girl's toy", she kept it…but her interest in traditional girl toys wasn't very keen. She grew into a "gamer chick" (a girl who plays RPG video games) and is now a senior in high school who was just inducted in the National Honor Society.

normalize your child's development. I believe that we can optimize a child's development by intervening in ways that respect their autism.

It is possible to find rational arguments for and against both our positions. But to argue that all interventions are futile is plain wrong.]]>

so I guess, like me, he believed also that the wealthy should pay their fair share of tax.

But hey don't do they, what with their tax avoidance and minimisation schemes and even the tax churn to the middle classes leaves out a number of taxpayers like singles etc.

Misguided middle-class moaners:

The classic example was the 30 per cent rebate for people with private health insurance. Then there was the baby bonus, the greatly increased grants to private schools, part B of the family tax benefit and, for that matter, part A, which was means-tested only lightly.

Or, take child care. For a long time, the subsidy for the cost of child care was the means-tested child-care benefit. But Howard added a 30 per cent child-care rebate that wasn't means-tested.

Next, take the self-proclaimed “self-funded retirees”. By definition, these are people whose means disqualify them for eligibility for the age pension; they don't need help from the taxpayer.]]>

S.E. Hinton

•Born: 22 July 1948

•Birthplace: Tulsa, Oklahoma

•Best Known As: Author of The Outsiders

Name at birth: Susan Eloise Hinton

S.E. Hinton was just 17 years old when she sold her first novel, The Outsiders, a modern classic of teen literature which has been alternately praised and condemned since it was first published in 1967. The story of the struggle between two groups of teens — Greasers and Socs (pronounced "soashes") — the novel gained popularity among readers and educators in the 1970s for its frank depiction of violence and cruelty in the social structure of American high schools. Some groups found it too frank, however, and into the 1990s the book was still considered controversial enough to make the American Library Association's list of "most frequently challenged books." Hinton is also the author of That Was Then, This Is Now (1971), Rumble Fish (1975), Tex (1979) and Hawkes Harbor (2004), as well as books for younger readers, including Big David, Little David (1985) and The Puppy Sister (1995).

Hinton's early novels have been made into popular films, and The Outsiders (1983) and Rumble Fish (1983) were both directed by Francis Ford Coppola… She is especially cagey about her age, and some sources list her birth year as 1950 (or 1949). About The Outsiders she has said in interviews, "I was actually fifteen when I first began it. It was the year I was sixteen and a junior in high school that I did the majority of work." She graduated from Tulsa's Will Rogers High School in 1966, which would mean she turned 18 in the summer of 1966 (the book came out in the spring of 1967, while Hinton was a freshman at the University of Tulsa).
