Doin’ the Ipod Shuffle
I got an Ipod Shuffle for a Christmas present last year, but I never bothered to activate it until now. This is pretty neat. About the size of a pack of chewing gum, it’s one of the smaller Ipods, so it doesn’t hold as many songs as the standard-sized ones. Still, better not to look a gift horse in the mouth—or a gift Ipod in the headphones port or whatever applies here.
So far, what I’ve got uploaded:

Lowdown- Ground Zero. Great, funky indie hip-hop from my peeps C-Doc and Tirade.

Booker T & the MG’s- Stax Profiles. Beyond their standards, a set of sides personally chosen by Elvis Costello.

Four Brothers soundtrack- 1970’s Motown tunes selected for the John Singleton action film.

Children’s physical (including brain development), intellectual, emotional and social development are all impacted by abuse and neglect. Adults who were abused or neglected as children are more likely as parents to abuse or neglect their children. The economic and social health of communities are impacted when abused and neglected children perform poorly in school and do not graduate from high school and who as adults have mental health problems and/or are unemployed and incarcerated.
