Once upon a time, I thought, as did and still do many if not most people in my profession, that behavior modification was going to make the discipline of a child as simple and straightforward as teaching a rat to run a maze. I should have known better. As a graduate student in psychology, I had trained a rat to run a maze. Indeed, it was simple. At the same time, I was struggling to discipline our first child, then a toddler. That wasn't simple at all. Ignoring his misbehavior didn't work. Neither did punishing him; nor did rewarding him when he behaved properly. In fact, the more I tried to discipline him using behavior modification-based methods, the worse his behavior became.
Good grades and good behavior will earn Vista Ridge High School upperclass students a much coveted privilege this school year: off- campus lunch. And, they'll get an extra 15-20 minutes to enjoy it.
The Bureau of Prisons' formula for determining sentence credits for good behavior - which bases the credits on actual time served, not accounting for good time credits already accrued - is lawful, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled. The case involves a challenge by a group of prisoners serving long sentences in federal prisons. They claim that the way their good conduct time was calculated by the Bureau of Prisons was contrary to the provision in the Sentencing Reform Act pertaining to good-time sentence credits.
One of the surest ways to a stable and prosperous economy is to see that good behavior gets rewarded. People who pay their bills on time, save regularly and invest prudently should have a reasonable expectation that the government won't undermine them. Which makes the comments of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke this week curious.

What a pleasant Halloween this turned out to be. We could not be home for the first hour of trick-or-treating, so we decided to leave our candy at our front door with sign asking the children to take only two pieces of candy. They apparently did!
Consider the things your employees do that you wish they wouldn't. You can legislate good behavior -- and what's more, the vast majority of employees will be glad you did. Author Quint Studer recommends that organizations develop a "Standards of Behavior" contract and have everyone, from CEO to receptionist, sign it. If you're interested in creating a Standards of Behavior contract for your company, here are some of the tips that Studer offers: 1. Seek input from all employees in creating the document. 2. Hold a ceremonial "Standards of Behavior" roll out. 3. Hold people accountable when they violate a standard. 4. Create a designated "Standard of the Month.
A compromise proposal to create a responsible banking ordinance for the city of Los Angeles moved ahead on Monday, at the urging of labor unions, religious groups and members of Occupy L.A. The City Council's Budget and Finance Committee asked to create a working group to formally develop the proposal, with the hope they will get it back by mid-January to adopt as quickly as possible.
The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the Bureau of Prisons' method of calculating how much time off prisoners get for good behavior. In its ruling in Barber v. Thomas, the court held that the Bureau's admittedly "complicated" formula, which bases good time credits on actual time served no accounting for good time credits already accrued, was lawful. A group of prisoners had challenged the law, arguing that the calculation should have been made on a rolling basis, which would have resulted in an earlier release.
