:: Contaminated seafood and government cover-up at Fukushima
+ 11.08.2011 + Our team of radiation experts has found high levels of radiation in seafood caught by Japanese fishermen off the coast of Japan.
This, along with the news that the Japanese government covered up the true extent of radiation releases from Fukushima and so put people in danger, shows it is long past time that urgent, transparent action was taken by officials.
At a press conference in Japan earlier today (video here and here), we explained how our radiation experts had visited ports in Iwaki prefecture between 22nd and 24th of July and conducted sampling of seafood with the help from local fishermen. The French laboratories ACRO and CRIIRAD analysed the radioactive contamination and detected high levels of radioactivity in a number of samples. This means that the contamination of the Fukushima coast is still very serious.
Greenpeace has therefore requested the Japanese government to make the labelling of seafood products mandatory and to indicate the radiation levels and fishing area, as supermarkets are not providing enough information to their customers. Radiation monitoring procedures should also be strengthened and food distribution regulations tightened.
All this should be done as urgently as possible. Trawl fishing season is about to begin in Fukushima and Ibaraki. This is now a race against time – seafood is a huge part of the Japanese diet. Unlike for beef, laws are not in place to trace the origin of fish and seafood. Relying on the government's inadequate monitoring does not guarantee people's safety if contaminated seafood reaches the market.
Meanwhile, it seems some government officials are more interested in saving their jobs than in the lives of the people they serve. According to the New York Times, government forecasts about the spread of airborne contamination in the initial aftermath of the Fukushima disaster…
…were left unpublicized by bureaucrats in Tokyo, operating in a culture that sought to avoid responsibility and, above all, criticism. Japan's political leaders at first did not know about the system and later played down the data, apparently fearful of having to significantly enlarge the evacuation zone — and acknowledge the accident's severity.
Not only that but evidence that at least one of the Fukushima reactors had suffered a potentially catastrophic meltdown was found by inspectors just one day after the March 11th tsunami but was kept secret for months.
This approach to the crisis cannot continue. The Japanese government's handling of this crisis has been extremely poor. It should now begin to make amends by ensuring public safety and restoring people's trust. Meaningful and transparent action is needed immediately.

Tatoo(own like text,shape) is allowed or not.
The question has been closed for the following reason "Duplicate Question" by Irfan Alam Dec 25 '13 at 15:04
Asalaam o alaikum,,,,,,,,,,NO........Tattoos for Muslims is considered a haram act, Narrated Aun bin Abu Juhaifa: I saw my father buying a slave whose profession was cupping, and ordered that his instruments (of cupping) be broken. I asked him the reason for doing so. He replied, "Allah's Apostle prohibited taking money for blood, the price of a dog, and the earnings of a slave-girl by prostitution; he cursed her who tattoos and her who gets tattooed, the eater of Riba (usury), and the maker of pictures."Book 34, Hadith 440bukhari Tattooing is considered "mutilating" the body, changing Allah's creation It inflicts unnecessary pain, and introduces the possibility of infection It covers the natural body, and is therefore a form of "deception" Non-believers often adorn themselves this way, so it is "imitating the kuffar" Henna can be seen as an exception, as it is only temporary. Noting also, if a person reverts to Islam, and has a tattoo, then this is a past sin, and does not affect the person reverting, and the sin is forgiven. |
Dec 25 '13 at 07:55
Thank you for your answer .but above answer is slave batch number or symbol.and also small injuries possible do any work.
(Dec 27 '13 at 06:18)
asalaam o alaikum, tattoos can be removed, if they are unwanted or unsightly. As for numbers, symbols, if they were inflicted by others against your will, then it is no fault of yours. Small injuries,like scarring is something of a healing process. Injuries themselves are not considered tattoos.But if inflicted by way of self mutilation, then this must cease immediately, it is a sign of Shatan present.

The balanced scoring of North Harrison was simply too much for the Charlestown-led dynamic duo of Aaron Daniel and Chris Braun on Thursday night. The visiting Pirates nearly dug themselves out of a 21-point second-half hole, but in the end it was the Cougars who prevailed 83-74.
Daniel led all scorers with 34 points, including 20 in the fourth period alone, and Braun tallied 27. The senior combo scored all but 13 of Charlestown's points.
"They're phenomenal players and they're having a phenomenal senior year," Pirates' coach Sean Smith said of his two leading scorers. "They're the engine and we need the other parts around them to step up and make some plays. You can't ask for much more out of them."
North Harrison (12-4, 6-2 MSC) built a 51-30 lead midway through the third quarter. The Pirates (9-7, 4-4) staged a furious rally to claw within 63-59 on a Daniel steal and layup with 3:56 left in the game, but the visitors would get no closer.
"They turned up the pressure on us and got us out of whack for a bit," Cougars' coach Greg Walters said. "I'm proud of our kids for not panicking. I give our kids a lot of credit for staying the course and finishing the game."
In its previous game, Charlestown trailed Corydon by 18 points in the first half and scrambled back within one before falling to the Panthers. A similar script played out versus North.
"I give our kids a lot of credit for not giving up and fighting their way back into the game," Smith said. "It just takes so much energy to overcome a big deficit like that in a short amount of time. In the Corydon game, we chipped away at things over a few quarters. But this game we had to do it in just a four- or five-minute stretch."
North forced five Charlestown turnovers in the first period and rode Tyler Bement's 11 points to a 17-8 at the first stop. Bement finished with a team-high 25 points, pacing four Cougars in double figures on the night.
"We have four guys in double figures this year," Walters said. "We've been able to share the ball and we have several guys that can score. On any given night if you're going to take someone away, we're lucky enough to have other guys that can step up."
The hosts pushed their lead to 36-22 at halftime. The Pirates shot just 32 percent in the first half, including just 2-of-12 on 3-point attempts.
"We came out ready to play," Smith said. "The difference is they shot a very good percentage in that first half. They just lit it up. Part of that was we didn't do a good job of staying in front of guys and defending, but they also just knocked shots down. You have to give them credit. They have a lot of scoring options and kids that can really shoot the basketball. We also missed some points in the paint where guys just didn't finish."
After trailing by 17 points at the end of the third, the Pirates poured in 37 fourth-quarter points but fell just short to the high-scoring Cougars. North hit an impressive 17-of-19 fourth-quarter free throws to win its fifth straight and collect its 10th victory in its last 11 contests.
"We just talked about not giving up," Smith said of his team's fourth-quarter spurt. "There was a play where they missed a layup and we just gave up and let them get the putback. I called a timeout there and we told the guys that is something that's just not acceptable. We will not give up and our guys responded."
Charlestown didn't get a second-half point from someone not named Daniel or Braun until a Drew Reich bucket at the 6:04 mark of the fourth. Despite only getting 13 points out of players other than his main two guns, Smith was encouraged by what he saw from the rest of his team.
"We had some guys that haven't had a lot of opportunity on varsity step up tonight," Smith said. "I thought Gage Martin really played well for us. He defended well for us tonight. I thought Tristan Chester played well. He picked up some big charges for us. Drew Reich had a very good fourth quarter."
Charlestown will be back in action on Tuesday, hosting New Washington.

A memorial monument dedicated to the memory of Marine Cpl. Daniel Swaim and portions of the Veterans Memorial, both located at Yadkin County Park, have been defaced.
According to Jason Walker, Parks and Recreation Department Head, park officials found the damage while cleaning and maintaining the property earlier this week.
Pieces of Corporal Swaim's monument had been broken off, and scratches are covering the face of his picture.
Walker said that he believes the damage took place sometime last week.
Aaron Church, County Manager, said that the county park will be monitored very closely and anyone caught doing damage to county property or memorials will be dealt with firmly and swiftly and punished to the full extent of the law.
Anyone with information about this damage is asked to call Jason Walker at 679-4228.

OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Like many Colorado pioneers in the mid-to-late 1800s, George McIntosh Born in Ohio in 1837, came to the Rocky Mountains to improve his health and wealth. He headed to the Pike's Peak Region by wagon in the spring of 1860 during the height of the gold rush. Colorado's semi-arid climate immediately helped his asthma.
George McIntosh married a young widow from Iowa named Amanda Jane (Lee) Noble. They ran a cattle operation and grew feed. By 1877, they had four children: Mark, Walter, George Jr., and Minnie.
George Lohr, an early Hygiene postmaster, purchased the original homestead parcel from George McIntosh after marrying George's daughter, Minnie, in 1899. After the birth of their two sons, Neil R. 'Shorty' and Harry Galen, the Lohrs built the 1909 farmhouse on the site of their first log cabin. They raised chickens, kept pigs and sold eggs, milk and butter. Later, they raised produce and sugar beets, which they sold to local canning and sugar companies.
Shorty Lohr never married and continued to live and work on the farm. He worked as a scenic tour bus driver at Rock Mountain National Park and then took a position with the Boulder County Road Department, retiring in 1974.
In 1985, Shorty sold the family farm to Boulder County and donated $250,000 to establish an educational center on the property. Shorty Lohr died in 1991 at the age of 91.

what exactly is the purpose in Boba Fett's shoulder cape?
i mean it looks awsome and i love it but i was just comtemplateing as to its true purpose,so does anyone have an idea?
Discussion on might be a lil pointless but im curious... within the The Sarlacc Pit forum, part of the Community category; what exactly is the purpose in Boba Fett's shoulder cape?
what exactly is the purpose in Boba Fett's shoulder cape?
i mean it looks awsome and i love it but i was just comtemplateing as to its true purpose,so does anyone have an idea?
Its so if he needs to take a nap he's got a blanket to keep him warm. Duh.....
If but for no other purpose than what you just said, "It looks awesome and I love it" is all that matters to me!
If there was an actual purpose, that would be an interesting fact to know...
lmao nice xfettx
Funny enough it was supposed to be worn as a shawl type thing. He pulls it around front and attaches it to the other side.FYI
Purpose? I think it is part of his colors. Like wearing your flag.
Function: None
to hide whether he's pointing that rocket at a jedi's head?? Use to pop over someones head it he needed to take the alive? Wipe his nose? clean his gun? Improvised garrotte? Mando security blankie?
OH OH I know it's soaked in a special solution so if you suck on it it provides you with much needed vitamins and minerals ( so that's what happened to the ESB cape)
wow never thought fett the type to pull off the shawl lmao thanks Boomer!!!
lol this is spawning some very nice answers
His cape is actually a magic carpet for when his jet pack is out of order.
so thats how he got out of the sarlacc,his magic carpet!!!! lmao
Actually, when he was in the Supertrooper phase, it was made out of a towel. I think that says it all right there. A little sweaty? No problem. Need a shower? No problem.
It's his blankie(blanky?) from back when he lost his dad...
If it is indeed a towel it could go back to the thousands of uses for a towel from Hitchhikers Guide
O.o Boba...with a blankie?????? the most bad***** guy in the SW universe...uses a blankie!!!....well i guess the Slave1 might get a bit cold sometimes,its not exactly a pleasure yacht is it now? LMAO great responces ppl keep'em coming!
I think it looks awesome, but I always thought it was kinda dumb because it would catch on fire very easily. The material is pretty cruddy to have holes and what not in it so its probably not fire retardent. I may have to burn my shelter half and see
lmao lets us know how that goes hahaha
When he puts it over his head he turns invisible just like harry potter
so thats how he always sneaks up on bossk,hmm you think youd hear him clanking around in those spurs lmao
It's his pup tent, just in case he doesn't feel like sleeping out in the rain...
lmao im loving all these wonderful answers,some very creative minds here,and the images of fett they inspire are ridiulously funny
The cape is ancient Mandalorian Cellular phone, when used in conjunction with a campfire, one can send messages to other clans by displacing small pockets of smoke as it rises from the fire.
hahahaha nice,smoke signals now,well it was a long time ago lmao
I always suspected it was to hide the fact that he's wearing a thong. But I could be mistaken...
ok that one was good,random but good nice job everyone,keep'em coming we'll get to the bottom of this!
It can be used as a dress for royal parties.
In all seriousness, it was made to hook onto his right shoulder, as PPv1 does. This was to give him the Clint Eastwood look with the poncho.
when i made my version 1 fett my cape was huge! the way it attached it didn't hang longer than the cape actually does, but it was bunched from the center. i could wrap it around me as well as over my head. for practicality, i thought that it worked well. boba could be stuck out in the rain waiting for his prey and pull the cape over him to keep the wet off a little better.
then i found the shelter half and thought, well that doesn't do much.
lol thanx GCN lov the photos,and once again great responces everyone!
My guess would be that the cape could also serve as a form of camouflage; a dirty, ragged piece of clothing is much less conspicuous than his trademark Mandalorian armor, even with the obviously well-known helmet. In particular, his darker color tones would mesh well with a dark location (think the corners of the Mos Eisley cantina, for example.)
Not that Boba Fett really needed to hide, but the element of surprise is always helpful.
There´s just one simple use of his cape: It´s his iron reserve of toilet paper! muhahahaha
mmgraphics man thats hilario
It's his safety blanket, just like Linus on the Peanuts
lmoa maybe its a portable napkin for when he eats dinner,just chew,eat, and reach over and wipe lmao
this to me would be the best answer. Not necessarily to hide armor/helmet, but in order to distort his outlline in darker areas. The US military uses the same solution with their boonie caps etc... In darker areas or busy area (woods lots of buildings etc...) you tend to spot things not by seeing them right away, but by catching a glimpse of something from the corner of your eyes, you further catch it by it's harder outline against the background. Having the cape would distort Boba's outline making him blend more in with darkr areas, and giving him more time to snag you before you spot him.
Toilet paper reserve!
Good one mmgraphics!

I first met Jacob in 6th grade. Until middle school, we had attended different elementary schools even though we lived right next to each other. I never knew he lived behind me until 6th grade when I began catching the bus from my house instead of my grandmas. The first time we talked, we had a bond and quickly became best friends. Every night, he was at my house after school, and after homework was done, of course. We were inseparable. As we grew up, we grew closer. Once we started high school, we didn't have any classes together, so we kind of drifted apart. We still talked on the phone and saw each other in school, but quickly became immersed in different activities. He was in band, and I was in choir. Between those activities and our homework, we started only seeing each other on the bus before and after school. I missed my closest friend, but couldn't find a time when we both weren't busy with something. So, as old friends tend to do at times, we drifted apart. But, if I ever needed him, I knew he was there for me. In 6th grade, he told his dad he was going to marry me. Of course, I never knew about this until a much later date. Now, fast forward a couple of years to our junior year of high school. We saw each other a little more, and began talking more again since our busy schedules with school had began to slow down. We never became as close as when we were in middle school though. Until our senior year. He joined the DEP program to continue on to the United States Navy after graduation. In the 6 months before he left for boot camp, he really began opening up about his true feelings for me. Now, everyone saw those feelings, but me. I was clueless. I saw him as my best friend, someone who was always there for me, and honestly, kind of a brother figure. I never assumed it was anything more than that. When I heard he had joined the Navy, my heart sank. I remember thinking, "Wow, the guy who has always been just a minute away, is now going to be 8 hours away, and then possibly farther than that." I had a rough time coming to terms with how I truly felt about Jacob. Going from, "oh, he's just my friend" to, "oh wow...I think I love him" was a complete and total shock. He had always known how he felt about me. It took me a little longer to come to terms with it. The 6 months before he left for boot camp was a tough time for me and him both. I was still trying to sort my feelings out, and he was right there always reminding me of how he felt. I kept thinking, "I'm only 17...there's no way I can possibly be considering settling down already. We are to young." But, I was considering it. Finally, a month before he left for boot camp, it really hit me just how much I loved him. Once I let myself realize how I felt about him, things moved quickly. We spent every waking moment together because we both knew our time was short. The day he left, he came to my house at around 7 in the morning to say goodbye. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. He left me with a kiss and an envelope of notes, with strict orders not to open them until he was gone. When he left, I sat in my room and opened that envelope. Inside was 3 letters, one had a necklace with a ring on it. That was his promise to me. He has loved me since 6th grade and always knew that someday, I would come around and realize what he meant to me. He never gave up on me, and I'm glad he didn't. This man who spent a good 6 years chasing me in hopes of being with me for the rest of his life, is now my husband. We got married February 6th, 2010, and he left for Yokosuka, Japan February 13th, 2010 for 3 years. He has been gone for almost a year, and I have seen him once. In November, me and his dad went to visit him for a week and a half while the ship was in port. A week after we left, the George Washington deployed to South Korea for training exercises. He is due to come home sometime in January, and I would love for us to have a couple of nights just for ourselves. He deserves some relaxation time while he is home because he doesn't get much on a day to day basis on the ship. I know there are a lot of other military couples who deserve this just as much as we do, I just wanted to let our story be known. I love you Jacob and am very proud of you. To all the other military service members and their families, I am proud of the service you provide for your country and hope you know you have the full support of myself, and all of your family members. Thank you all for what you do for us.

2 men are dead due to blunt force trauma after a 2 vehicle crash on the I-90 Indiana Toll Road this morning. LaPorte County Coroner John Sullivan says 51 year old Daniel J. Miller, of Heston, Indiana, a 16 year veteran of the Indiana Toll Road's Maintenance Department, was pronounced dead at the scene, near mile marker 40, by Holmesville Road, east of the Michigan City exit. Sullivan says Miller was stepping out the passenger side of a parked maintenance vehicle, around 10:30, when he was struck by a westbound S-U-V. Sullivan says the driver of the S-U-V, whose name has not yet been released pending notification of family, was pinned in and had to be extracted by the Westville Fire Department, and was airlifted to a Sound Bend hospital where he later died. State Police say the driver of the vehicle Miller was in, a 49 year old LaPorte man, and 12 year employee of the Toll Road, was taken to St. Anthony's in Michigan City for non-life threatening injuries. Authorities report the westbound toll road was closed for approximately two hours, and that all lanes have reopened.

I got an idea for the enhancement screen for weapons, a "forge". There you can improve your weapons. I think that's a good idea, isn't it?
There's a problem with santasssnake's skill…
wich is….
DrZomboss, what a problem?
The game is a l m o s t crashing when he enters the game. I play on Mozilla Firefox.
DrZomboss, it was fixed with the last update. Thanks for the report.
It is annoying for some cards that already have a skill like Kolobok with the Soul Catcher 1 skill, a equipment with the same skill – Blood Sphere does nothing. Is it possible to make this effect cumulative?
DrZomboss, creature can't have two same effect on itself, so it's ok.
Yes, but that's irritating.
Maybe the equipment could skip creatures with the same skill as the equipment
b'cos Phoenix with Seven-league boots (Flying) doesn't have any sense
It's also strange when equipment has a worse ability than the creature ability, and it supersedes the creature ability. For example, Magic Crystal (Back Off) on Butcher (Killer) – the back off effect takes place, not the killer effect, when it should be the other way around. Haven't checked to see if killer equipment supersedes back off creature ability – but it should.

Britney Spears looked fresh and full of excitement as she arrived at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards. It's so great to see Britney doing so well. I know she's not a "junior celeb" anymore but we still love her, right? I thought she looked great (maybe even a little overdressed) on the red carpet in her sparkly black mini dress.

I was graduated from West Virginia University of Law in 1958 and have enjoyed the many years since then practicing law in Wood County. As a life-long moderate Democrat, I have, from time to time, been involved in politics and election campaigns, including six years as an administrative aide to a United States congressman, four years as a West Virginia deputy general and four years as a member of the Wood County Board of Education.
I have never been a straight-ticket voter, and I have frequently cast my ballot for Republican candidates, particularly at the local and county levels, and have always been far more interested in their ability to perform the duties of the office they were seeking than their national political viewpoints.
At this time, I have an even greater interest in a Republican candidate for re-election as a Wood County commissioner. David Blair Couch is married to my daughter Kimberley, who is executive director of the Camden Clark Medical Center Foundation. Blair was born and raised in Wood County and remains a full-time resident. More importantly, he is an outstanding and totally honest young man who, like his father before him, has done an excellent job on behalf of all the citizens of Wood County during his present term as commissioner. Blair has always kept in his mind, heart and actions as commissioner, the best interests of this community and its people. I have absolutely no doubt that if re-elected he would continue to do so.
I respectfully encourage you to vote on Nov. 6, and hopefully to favorably consider David Blair Couch for re-election to the Wood County Commission.
George E. Lantz

The McCall Realty sponsor volunteer crew on Sept. 24 consisted of Cynde Cain, Beatte Miering, Jill Moffett and Mike Yagi. One of McCall's volunteers provided this comment regarding their sponsorship of an Adopt A Day: "At McCall, we are committed to helping our community. The Bread & Broth program provides to those who are in need and it was our pleasure to sponsor this event and take part." This was the first time McCall Realty has sponsored an Adopt A Day and is looking forward to continuing their support and involvement in this program.Bread & Broth would not be able to continue this vital service to the Lake Tahoe community without the support of businesses like McCall Realty and is very thankful for their monetary and sponsor volunteer crew contribution.Carol GerardBread & Broth

I had to return it because I needed a bigger size. I would order this again because I have looked for a long nightgown with chantilly lace & they are hard to find. The fit would have been perfect if I had a thinner mid section. I do believe it is true to size

Wild Style | |
30th anniversary screening of THE classic hip-hop film, w/filmmaker Charles Ahearn. |
Wild Style (Charles Ahearn, United States, 82 min.) Legendary New York graffiti artist Lee Quinones plays the part of Zoro, the city's hottest and most elusive graffiti writer. The actual story of the movie concerns the tension between Zoro's passion for his art and his personal life, particularly his strained relationship with fellow artist Rose. But this isn't why one watches Wild Style--this movie is *the* classic hip-hop flick, full of great subway shots, breakdancing, freestyle MCing and rare footage of one of the godfathers of hip-hop, Grandmaster Flash, pulling off an awesome scratch-mix set on a pair of ancient turntables. A must-see for anyone interested in hip-hop music and culture.
Friday, April 5, 9:00 PM.

If you didn't know any better, you might say we're a country that preaches optimism. But some 30 to 35 percent of Americans employ a calculated form of negative thinking—called defensive pessimism—that can lead to very positive results, according to Julie K. Norem, PhD, a professor of psychology at Wellesley College. We're not talking about a general disposition to see the glass half-empty: "Defensive pessimism is a strategy used in specific situations to manage anxiety, fear, and worry," says Norem, who has conducted seminal research on the subject. "Defensive pessimists," she says, "prepare for a situation by setting low expectations for themselves, then follow up with a very detailed assessment of everything that may go wrong." Once they've imagined the full range of bad outcomes, they start figuring out how they'll handle them, and that gives them a sense of control. "What's intriguing about defensive pessimists," adds Lawrence Sanna, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who has also studied the phenomenon, "is that they tend to be very successful people, and so their low opinion of the outcome isn't realistic; they use it to motivate themselves to perform better." For example, an executive is getting ready to pitch a project, and she thinks beforehand, "The client is going to be really difficult; he's not going to like my proposal. I have to make sure I explain things very clearly." "She uses defensive pessimism as a tool to work through all the possibilities so she's prepared for everything, even failure," Sanna says. "And if she does fail, she's ready for it, so it's not so catastrophic." If all this sounds familiar (take the quiz to see if you use defensive pessimism), a piece of advice from the experts may give you a lift: Don't listen to appeals from friends or family to look on the bright side. "Research shows that if you pressure defensive pessimists into being optimistic, or try to manipulate their mood, their performance deteriorates," says Andrew J. Elliot, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Rochester. One of the most frequent comments Norem got after publishing The Positive Power of Negative Thinking in 2001 was "Thank you. I can finally tell my mother to shut up." From the March 2009 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine
