Genetic test to find out what sport junior should pursue?

New genetic test asks which sport a child was born to play - International Herald Tribune

E like baseball from the start. Age four, tee ball. Bat, glove - no idea what to do, but E and a team of preschoolers were figuring it out together. Abby hit the ball better than many of the boys. The garbage man's son did cartwheels in the outfield; he had way too much energy just to stand there. E did all he could to follow the coaches word. He liked baseball and continues playing to this day...and he is good at it.

Basketball for E started in the first grade. He played for the "Y". Dribbling the ball up and down the floor looks easy, but watching kids learn it is priceless. It's not that easy to start, but as they learn and practice, their moves become smoother and more natural.

Indoor soccer did not go well. A bunch of kindergartners running every which way. Confusion! Fun to watch, but E did not care for it.

Eric played football in the 3rd, 4th, and 6th grades. Football was hard for E. He does not like to get hit. Even so, E worked hard to succeed at it. He was a lineman and a kicker. He did well, but he just didn't like it. I liked the discipline of football - every player has a role, and every role needs to be executed for the team to have success. He skipped the fifth grade football. He was the one getting hit. We left the decision to him. He played football again in the 6th grade, but decided to take a pass on it this year.

The ugly part of kids sports is that kids want to have fun, but parents want their kid to be the best. The sports camps start at a young age anymore. We have striven to only have E participate in sports and sport camps when he wants to. Sometimes he is not sure, and we have to be "parents" and nudge them.

The thought of genetically testing kids to see what sport they would be best inclined for frightens me. I can see parents forcing their kids to do only that sport. I overheard a boy's father (E recently played baseball with him) say that his son played in two baseball leagues at once. Perhaps the boy liked it, but did he like it for himself, or for his parents?

The line is hard to figure out. Kids want to like what we like. Sometimes they will force themselves to "like" something to not disappoint us.

Trial and error seems to be the best way to figure out what your kid likes to do. The process of struggle and achievement teaches a valuable lesson of life. Genetic testing to circumvent such lesson seems like it could lead to disappointed parents and resentful kids.

Lesson from Down Under - child care collapse

Working parents finding decent child care for their kids at a price they can afford is a struggle.

It appears that Australia's government somehow helps parents afford day care by contracting with a private company, ABC Learning  Centers.  But now ABC is in trouble.

ABC has more debt now than they can repay.  The company cares for a quarter of Aussie kids in day care.   The government now must consider bailing them out.

The clamor is always to privatize government services as a was to improve effectiveness and save money -- a win-win.

Now the pendulum is swinging the other way.  Government stability trumps private boom and bust?

Bush to blame?

I've been trying to explain to E that President Bush is not to blame for everything that has gone wrong in the past eight years, and then Leanard Pitts goes and writes this:

For my money, of all the things he has done that have damaged this nation -- we're talking lies and alibis, torture, the loss of American prestige, watching passively as New Orleans drowned, censoring science, politicizing the Justice Department, a ruinous war of choice in Iraq, spending with all the discipline of an 8-year-old in a candy store -- arguably the most damaging legacy this president leaves is that he has undermined truth itself. After eight years of Bush/Rove politics, we live now in a nation where fact doesn't mean a whole lot, where it is OK to believe the ''truth'' that serves your political ends and jettison any that does not.

Because these days, truth comes in two flavors. We have red truth and blue truth, but we are fresh out ofthe truth, the facts, unimpeachable and inarguable. Instead, Bush has overseen a government of legendary intellectual incoherence, where ideology is valued above competence, accountability is valued not at all and one is daily dared to believe the evidence of one's lying eyes. Bush seems to agree with Stephen Colbert: Reality has a liberal bias.

It happened again...

In 1989, I wrote a column for the Oregonian about a grandpa who took his two year old grandson, who had significant disabilities, for a ride in the car. Grandpa took the boys life and his own. For whatever reason, grandpa did not see much hope for the boy.

I was eight months old when doctors diagnosed me with cerebral palsy. Doctors did not know what hope to give my mom as to what my life would be like.

At first, when I read this story out of Wisconsin, I saw similarities with the story I wrote about in 1989. Instead of a grandpa taking the life of his two-year-old grandson and his own, this was a father taking the life of his twelve year old high needs, severely disabled son.

This has been a difficult post for me to write. Back in 1989 when I wrote about the grandpa and the two year old, I had a three inch news brief to go off. Without the internet around to let me dig, I made assumptions. The biggest was thinking that grandpa took his grandson's life and his own to save family and society the hassle. I related to the story that I was once that two year old with disabilities and an unsure future.

Before I write about Ryan and Kyle Dutter, I just want to say that I have no doubt the grandpa loved his grandson and wanted the best for him.

Ryan Dutter loved his son, Kyle. He created a website about his son.

Last week, the unthinkable happened in Madison. According to police, a father shot and killed his 12-year-old son, then himself. The father, Ryan Dutter, 36, was under financial strain after periods of unemployment and a bankruptcy filing. His son, Kyle, had severe disabilities that included autism.

There is much more to this story than I will ever grasp.  Unemployment, bankruptcy, and custody issues...not really our  business to consider.

Take a look at this page from the website Ryan made for Kyle.  It is a lengthy list of specialists who were caring for Kyle's needs:

Psychiatrist – (behaviors, issues still 
ongoing, but significantly better)
Endocrinologist- (puberty, monthly shot being 
administered to control heavy onset of 
puberty naturally produced at my age)
Ear-Nose-Throat-(drooling, minor surgery 
completed..no more drooling!!!)
Pediatrician- (now have one, and this one 
specializes in Autism)
Orthopedist-(Half leg braces for feet and legs 
being used to help me walk better)
Neurologist- (Seizures under control at 
present time)
Dentist- (minor surgery completed, all dental 
problems solved)
Sleep Study- (sleeps 14 hours a day with 
naps included, hoping to know if I am not 
obtaining REM sleep)
Occupational therapy- (helping him move, 
especially lower body so there is no falling or 
tripping.  Right foot is severely turned inward.  
This is in addition to his school therapies)
Rehabilitation M.D.-(Oversees coordination 
of all my care)

There are too many details about this tragedy that I don't feel qualified to comment on  any of the speicifics here.

In general, high needs kids should be the responsibility of society, the "village" if you will.  Too much or too little money should not prevent families from having a child's high needs met.

When I use to process applications for medical assistance for the state, I will never forget talking to a lady who had a teenage daughter with cerebral palsy.  Mom was a few bucks over income from qualifying for assistance.  I felt so bad that I apologized to the lady.  She was crying, but she said "It's not your fault, sir."  I still felt bad.

I know there is a reason for eligibility specialist who make these difficult decisions.   We don't have unlimited resources to cover all the needs that exist.  

If we can bankroll the Iraq war, Wall Street, Citibank, Detroit automakers (?), it seems to me that high needs kids and their families deserve more support from society -- medical coverage, 

case management, whatever support is needed.

Why don't we honor Kyle Dutter by making a law that provides support for high needs kids and their family regardless of their means?

We need a Kyle Dutter law.

Didn't Bush Sr. usher in the ADA?

Jr. is snubbing it:

The Americans with Disabilities Act would be weakened by permitting state and local governments to make only a fraction of their public facilities accessible to the handicapped.

I think it's a wonderful attempt to reach kids where they are at.

E is really into James Bond these days. We currently have the 007 movies OnDemand and he has seen several of them.

Last week, we got E's report card. Straight A's. To celebrate, he wanted to go see "Quantum of Solace". On the radio yesterday morning we heard a reviewer give the movie a thumbs down.

"I still want to see it, Dad."

Today, after the morning basketball camp, we went and saw it.

We both liked it. E nudged me a few times during the movie to let me know what different characters had done in previous Bond installments.

In the past I have gone to see "guy movies" with my friend Brad.

This was the first such movie E and I have taken in, just the two of us.

It was a big deal to him. It was a big deal to me.

Newspaper irony

I like reading Leonard Pitts' columns. He writes for the Miami Herald, but I use to read it in The Oregonian. Since I know longer have time or patience, and I stopped subscribing to, The Oregonian, I catch Leonard's column online, more specifically, as a RSS feed through Google Reader.

Herein lies a problem, the death of the local paper, according to Pitts' recent column. I read the column online, discussing how online news is killing the local newspaper. Irony.

I don't wish to see the local paper die, but reading papers online is much easier for me. I peruse the New York Times, The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and many others. Interesting headlines catch my eyes. Another thing I have against the paper newspaper is that the news is at least six hours old.

Here is news I can hardly believe, the eminent demise of the New York Times.

I know we need to put up with ads to support online news sites, but please stay away from the annoying popup ads, and the long intro screens that force you to watch or read an ad.

There probably is not the online ad revenue available to support the local newspaper staffs of the past. Then again, there are now bloggers on every corner to provide more localized news than ever before, if you know how to dig for it.

"'I remember the conversation I had with my predecessor Bill Clinton,' Bush said. As a matter of fact, [I] called him yesterday and said, 'Bill, I'm getting ready to meet with the new president, and I remember how gracious you were to me. I hope I can be as gracious to President-elect Obama as you were to me.' ''"

I have trouble thinking that kids come up with this stuff alone. I wonder what they hear at home and in their circle of friends.

I know the frustration that the Republicans must feel right now. They lost...bad. The last eight years have been that way for me, when the Democrats could not find a message or a win.

Turning to slurs does not turn a loss into a win.

We need to remain faithful to our message and prayerful for our leaders.

We need to teach our kids to do the same.

Water bombed?

Last Friday after work I was driving nortn on SE 148th, approaching Stark St. in Portland.  I heard a explosion, and my windshield was covered with water, as if a barrel of water had been shot it Jet White.

I was frightened by the noise and by the amount of water.

It was loud like a firecracker; very startling.  

It was a huge amount of water that came from the front, driver's side, and the direct hit was my front line of vision.

I saw police headed that direction when I turned off 148th, but then I saw police everywhere that night.

It had to be more than a water balloon.

Kids with a water cannon?   Were they trying to cause me to crash?  Any ideas?

Arnold Schwarzenegger urges GOP to move beyond ideology - Los Angeles Times

Great sense of humor:

The governor deflected a question about whether McCain had displayed bad judgment in selecting Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate.

He also said that California First Lady Maria Shriver, a Democrat and a member of the Kennedy family, had been running around their house since Tuesday with a cardboard cutout of President-elect Barack Obama, gloating over his victory.

Schwarzenegger, who joked about Obama's "scrawny" physique while campaigning with McCain, said he was "proud" to see the American people elect their first African American president.

"I was touched by it," he said. "Democrats and Republicans should do everything they can to help this man and his administration to be successful."

But he said rumors that he would leave his post as governor to work in the Obama administration were not valid.

"In the name of no father"

Interesting title to an article in the Gresham Outlook.

A T shirt they sport says "Your Friendly Neighborhood Atheist".

Morality does not depend on there being God, or a god.

I can see the attraction.  I am good because I am good, not because God is going to pound me if I am not good.

By equating religion to guilt, I suppose that not believing in God is freedom.

“As a Unitarian, I think we would not ridicule somebody else for their beliefs,” Knox says. “We’re humanitarian. We believe in compassion.”

Which is one reason why Tuppman, for example, says she’s never liked the Christian story of a loving God sending Jesus to die on the cross for our sins, nor for that matter, the doctrine of original sin, the idea humans are conceived in a state lacking holiness resulting from Adam and Eve’s fall.

“I didn’t ask to be born, and I thought why should I have guilt on top of it,” Tuppman says.

I don't have enough faith to believe that God does not exist.  I am not comfortable enough to believe that my own personal morality is all I need.

God loves me.  God loves you.  

I don't have enough faith to believe otherwise.

Happy 90th Billy!

He did not have to mention the disabled (yes, us!) in his acceptance speech, but he did:

"It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America."

Prayers for Obama

I have talked with people who fear with me the "Kennedy" feel of this being too perfect...that something bad might happen.

One of E's classmates even had the gall to hope that someone "just gets it over."

Obama will fail if he is alone.

I have always prayed for President Bush. Please join me in praying for President Elect Obama...you are not alone...and you will succeed!

Leonard Pitts: 'We' are finally part of `We the people'

Leonard says it so well:

There was something bittersweet in watching Michelle Obama lectured on American pride this year, in seeing African Americans asked to prove their Americanness when our ancestors were in this country before this country was. There was something in it that was hard to take, knowing that we have loved America when America did not love us, defended America when it would not defend us, believed in American ideals that were larger than skies, yet never large enough to include us.

We did this. For years unto centuries, we did this. Because our love for this country is deep and profound. And complicated and contradictory. And cynical and hard.

Now it has delivered us to this singular moment. Barack Obama is president-elect of the United States.

And we the people should be proud.

26 mile smile

Update on the New York marathon run by Nadine and Tyler McNeil.

EARLY FINISH Nadine McNeil, 42, who had a stroke when she was 8 and lost the use of her right arm and right leg, competed in the handcycle division of the marathon and finished in an unofficial time of 3 hours 54 minutes 59 seconds. Her 18-year-old son, Tyler, who is autistic, made his marathon debut, running a time of 5:07:48.

But McNeil missed her son’s finish. She said she thought his time would be about six hours, so she was nervously waiting in a finishers’ tent at 72nd Street and Central Park West. As she was about to head back to the finish line, Tyler arrived with his guide.

“My friends said he had a smile on his face for all 26 miles,” McNeil said. “I couldn’t be prouder of him. I would have been proud of him if he had run 50 feet and stopped.”

Portland delays disabled-parking decision

Tough issue. Needs of business versus needs of disabled.

Limiting disabled parking to four hours would help business.

Charge disabled workers a fee they can afford.

For disabled shoppers and visitors - sprinkle disabled spots around downtown. Pay once, lower the price, 4 hours.

Making anything free leads to abuse.

I know this is not the solution, but it is the kind of thinking we need to reach one.

Changes to the ADA

Americans with Disabilities Act will implement changes | www.azstarnet.com ®

I confess, I am not as educated on the Americans with Disabilities Act as I should be, but some of the changes are interesting:

• "Disability" will be defined as "Physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a record of such impairment, or being regarded as having such impairment."
• "Physical" disability will be defined to include disfigurement, loss of function (reproductive, cardiovascular, skin disorders, endocrine system, urinary).
• "Major life activity" will be defined to include: walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, learning, performing manual tasks, sitting, standing, lifting, caring for oneself and working.
• A qualifying "mental disability" will include psychological disorder, organic brain syndrome, emotional or mental illness and learning disabilities.
• The term "substantially limits" means "unable to perform a major life activity that the average person in the general population can perform."
• "Being regarded as having an impairment" has been defined to mean an "employee is subjected to an action illegal under the act" and "because of an actual or perceived physical or mental impairment" and "whether or not it limits a major life activity."
• "Major life functions" will include: eating, standing, lifting, bending, reading, concentrating, thinking and communicating.
