  • If passed, Senate bill S. 344 would require U.S. Supreme Court proceedings to be televised except in cases where it is deemed harmful.

  • This legislation would increase the public's awareness and understanding of how the nation's highest court works
  • It decides by 5-to-4 decisions so many vital cases, including partial-birth or late-term abortion, deciding who will live. It decides the question of who will be elected, controlling the constitutional decision on campaign contributions. It decides the constitutionality—
  • The Supreme Court of the United States, again in a series of 5-to-4 decisions, has decided what is the power of Congress, declaring in U.S. v. Morrison [2000] the legislation to protect women against violence unconstitutional because the Court questioned our "method of reasoning," raising a fundamental question as to where is the superiority of the Court's method of reasoning over that of the Congress. But that kind of decision, simply stated, is not understood.
  • Justice Stevens has been quoted recently stating his favorable disposition to televising the Supreme Court. Justice Breyer, during his confirmation hearings in 1994, indicated support for televising Supreme Court proceedings. He has since equivocated, but has also noted that it would be a wonderful teaching device. In a December 13, 2006, article by David Pereira, Justice Scalia said he favored cameras in the Supreme Court to show the public that a majority of the caseload involves dull stuff. In December of 2000, an article by Marjorie Cohn noted Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's support of camera coverage, so long as it is gavel to gavel—which can be arranged.

Your Child's Nutrition: The Power of Parents - 0 views

  • "Families who eat together tend to eat healthier. They learn portion control, since there's only so much food put out for everybody. It also reinforces time limits on eating."
  • Difficult as it may be, limiting TV time is absolutely a must, Kleinman says. "You should be outside with your kids, walking or running, modeling what a healthy lifestyle is all about -- or your kids will not take it seriously."
  • Studies show that when parents make the effort be model good nutrition for their children, it really does work. One study focused on 114 overweight families, with kids aged 6-12 years old. Like their parents, the kids were overweight. As parents took measures to get into shape, so did their overweight kids.

  • Make breakfast a priority. Eating breakfast fuels body and brain and is a big part of good nutrition for children. Kids who eat breakfast daily get more nutrients overall. They are also less likely to be overweight, and fare better at school. If growing kids don't get that first meal of the day, they miss out on protein, calcium, fiber, a little fat to help them feel full, plus important vitamins
  •  
    This shows how parents can influence their children, either positively or negatively, to have good nutrition. Ultimately, this effects their future lifestyle and that of their family in the future. This relates to my research topic because it shows another potential family decline, and another way that children are influenced greatly by their parent's decisions and actions.

John W. Whitehead: The Breakdown of the Traditional Family - 0 views

  • According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the number of unmarried-couple households with children has risen to more than 1.7 million -- up from under 200,000 in 1970. Moreover, there are 9.8 million single mothers versus 1.8 million single fathers.
  • nearly 40 percent of all U.S. children are now born out of wedlock.
  • Thus, it stands to reason that without stable families, we can have no hope of producing self-reliant, responsible citizens.

  • Since 1974, about 1 million children per year have seen their parents divorce -- and children who are exposed to divorce are two to three times more likely than their peers in intact marriages to suffer from serious social or psychological pathologies. In their book Growing Up with a Single Parent: What Hurts, What Helps, sociologists Sara McLanahan and Gary Sandefur found that 31% of adolescents with divorced parents dropped out of high school, compared to 13% of children from intact families. They also concluded that 33% of adolescent girls whose parents divorced became teen mothers, compared to 11% of girls from continuously married families. And McLanahan and her colleagues have found that 11% of boys who come from divorced families end up spending time in prison before the age of 32, compared to 5% of boys who come from intact homes. ... Sociologist Paul Amato estimates that if the United States enjoyed the same level of family stability today as it did in 1960, the nation would have 750,000 fewer children repeating grades, 1.2 million fewer school suspensions, approximately 500,000 fewer acts of teenage delinquency, about 600,000 fewer kids receiving therapy, and approximately 70,000 fewer suicides every year.
  • The solution, if there is one, is to be found where the problems start: with each man, woman and child taking responsibility for keeping their family together
  • look around at what's left of our neighborhoods, our communities and our families, and put our children first.
  •  
    In this article I am focusing only on the things I have highlighted. I am simply exploring different areas in which the decline of the traditional family structure is having an effect on us as a whole, us as individuals, and us as a future nation.

Gina Rinehart, world's richest woman, makes case for $2-a-day pay - latimes.com - 1 views

  • And now she's back with some more helpful advice.
  • , well, she wouldn't have to spend so much money on things like workers' salaries and benefits.
  • Yep, it's getting harder and harder to be a job creator.

  • Rinehart knows what it means to pull yourself up by the bootstraps.
  • That's a heavy burden to bear.
  • Yet, inexplicably , Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard didn't take Rinehart's advice in the generous spirit with which it was offered.
  • inexplicably
  • Socialist.
  • And, apparently, you should be happy with whatever table scraps you receive by way of compensation.
  • This Jabba the Hut look-a-like inherited all of her money. I would like to see how she would recover if all of it were gone in one fell swoop. She also needs to eat less.

A focus of care for neonatal nursing: The relationship between neonatal nursing practic... - 0 views

  • A regional referral centre for NIC was chosen for the study. Sampling of nurses was both purposive and stratified in relation to grade and responsibility, via job description analysis. Nurses chosen for interview were qualified in speciality (QIS). QIS is defined by both Redshaw et al (1993) and by the British Association of Perinatal Medicine (BAPM 1996) as being nurses who have received post-basic training and hold a nationally recognised neonatal qualification. The majority (four out of seven) were 'F' grade junior sisters as their role was seen to have the most direct influence on the developmental outcomes of babies, through both direct clinical care and learner responsibility.

the Courtroom Camera Debate legal definition of the Courtroom Camera Debate. the Courtr... - 0 views

  • In 1934, nearly 700 reporters and photographers descended on the New Jersey town where Bruno Hauptmann was on trial for Kidnapping and murdering the baby of famous aviator Charles A. Lindbergh and author Anne Morrow Lindbergh. The trial judge allowed still photography, but was unprepared for the barrage of flashbulbs and the presence of a newsreel camera that was smuggled inside the court. Decrying the media circus that resulted, the ABA in 1937 called for prohibiting photography in its Canons of Professional and Judicial Ethics. At the same time the U.S. Congress amended the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure to ban cameras and any form of broadcasting from federal courts. All but two states—Texas and Colorado—gradually adopted the ABA ban. Later, Texas permitted television cameras and it was a Texas criminal case that led to the next stage of development in this area of U.S. law.
