Update on New Lawsuit Filed Against Hawaii Department of Health on Behalf of Virginia Sunahara's Brother, Duncan Sunahara
As reported here brother of Virginia Sunahara, Duncan Sunahara has filed suit against Hawaii to obtain access to Virginia's original long-form birth certificate. Dean Haskins of the Birth Summit lays out the details below. See the complaint here.
Early last year, Duncan had become aware of some possible issues surrounding his late sister Virginia's birth certificate, and had spent quite a bit of time on his own trying to get his questions answered. As he related to us, it seemed he was getting nothing but a "run around" from the Department of Health, and the area hospitals. Oddly, it had been reported in 2010 that DOH Director, Loretta Fuddy, had claimed that no records existed for Virginia Sunahara.
Duncan knew that his sister was born in the same hospital that he had been a few years earlier, and that she was transferred to another hospital, but he didn't know which one (and his elderly mother could not remember). He had visited the birth hospital, Wahiawa General, and both Queen's and Kapi'olani Medical Centers, but was not able to obtain any information from them. We were able to help him procure all of the medical records from the day Virginia spent in Wahiawa General, and found that she was transferred to Kapi'olani, but Kapi'olani insists they have no records on file. It does seem odd that Wahiawa would have the records, but Kapi'olani supposedly does not (how much room could it take to store a roll of microfilm?). This certainly seems "convenient" for them.
When we visited the Department of Health, we weren't quite sure what we would find, since Loretta Fuddy had insisted that Virginia's records didn't exist. However, we were pleasantly surprised that Duncan's application produced several certified copies of Hawaii's new short form birth certificate (which they now absurdly call their "long form"). Upon closer inspection, we learned that the number assigned to Virginia's birth certificate is 151-1961-01180, and realized that, statistically, that number simply cannot be legitimate.
Now, here's what's wrong with that number: we all know that the last group of numbers on the "certificate" Barack Obama claims is his official record is 10641, and his certificate was supposedly processed on August 8, 1961. We also know that the Nordyke twins were assigned the numbers 10637 and 10638, and their certificates were processed on August 11, 1961. Virginia Sunahara's birth certificate states that it was processed on August 10, 1961, but the number it was assigned is 443 higher than the Nordyke twin whose certificate was stamped with the number 10637.
We know that there were 17,616 births in Hawaii in 1961, which shows a statistical average of 48 births per day. To arrive at the number now assigned to Virginia's birth certificate, nine to ten days would have had to have lapsed after the Nordyke twins' certificates were processed, but Virginia's processing date was the day BEFORE the Nordyke's.
To refute the ridiculous argument that birth certificate worksheets were pre-numbered, and clerks kept small stacks of them on their desks for processing, that is not only patently false, but also, by federal law, would be illegal. Birth certificate "worksheets" (what they call blank birth certificate forms) are kept at the hospitals, and it is there where the information is entered onto them. Once all the information has been entered, they are sent to the DOH, where they are processed using a Bates machine, which enters certificate numbers sequentially, and then the date of processing is stamped onto them. Basement bloggers who suggest otherwise simply prove their lack of factual knowledge with that argument (as if any further proof of that were needed).
We went back to the DOH the next day to try to obtain a photocopy of Virginia's original birth certificate, but were told that Duncan was not allowed to receive that (according to DOH rules). When we pointed out to Supervisor Jesse Koike that their "rules" were illegal, according to Hawaiian statutes, he told us that Duncan would have to discuss that with Dr. Alvin Onaka. We spent four hours waiting to speak with Onaka, who eventually instructed the security guard to throw us out of the facility (which seems to be outrageous behavior from someone with nothing to hide). Duncan also made several phone calls trying to make an appointment to see Onaka, but could not get him even to return his calls.
We then sent a certified letter to Onaka requesting the photocopy, and also included the relevant statutory information, and were informed in writing that we would have to take the matter up with Hawaii's Attorney General, which we did. The response we received from the AG contained the same deceptive misinterpretation of the statute, so, as a final step toward filing a complaint with the court, Duncan sent a letter asking for an estimate of how much it would cost for the DOH to perform the necessary research to copy, and send, Virginia's original birth certificate. No response was ever received from the DOH.
Having attempted every administrative procedure to obtain that to which Duncan is statutorily entitled, a lawsuit was filed on Tuesday, January 3, 2012.
Here is a video interview of Duncan Sunahara.
It is still unbelievable that, in 2008, our so-called media dispatched teams to sift through Sarah Palin's trash looking for anything they could find to discredit her, but did nothing of the sort regarding an empty suit Marxist from Chicago who refused to provide any substantive documentation regarding his eligibility. When the media and the politicians refuse to do their jobs, it is up to "We the People" to do it for themand that is exactly what we are continuing to do. Please stay tuned, as we will keep you up to date on this case.

I threw that idea out there a while back before I knew about Bates numbering of the certificates, merely as a possible explanation for the sequence problems, but I wasn't trying to claim it was THE explanation or that I had all the facts. This fellow seems unnecessarily snippy about it.
Here's my post from April 27, 2011:
Here's my post from April 27, 2011 about the "checkbook" notion:
Next thing you know, Virginia is actually a Charles Calthrop.
Dean sent out a call for this to be cross posted - so I did, also adding the rest of the story of the trip in July 2010 by "Researcher" to Honolulu, where she was the first to contact Duncan and his mother. She (Researcher) also did ALL of the original legwork on the Virgina Sunahara research.
"Most of you know/recall that the Post&Email, and this blog,(myveryownpointofview) did several posts/articles on the research that we did into the Virginia Sunahara angle in July of 2010.
Basically it had been suggested that obama may have usurped a birth certificate number from an infant that had been born, then passed away, within the same time frame that is obamas birthday. Ala Bill Ayers style. So we tried to look into it while Researcher was in Honolulu.
Long story short, back when our Researcher met Duncan, she did not tell Duncan that we were looking to determine if Virginias BC number had been usurped by obama. She had never actually planned to meet the Sunaharas, so that part of the research trip was spur-of-the-moment, and the decision to be overly-cautious was agreed to by all three of us. We felt the delicacy of the situation, and since Researcher was alone, we felt it best and safest to be very limited in the contact with Virginias family. And the line of questions.
We had tried several attempts afterwards to engage Duncan, and to have him consider a trip to the Honolulu Dept. of Health to request Virginias birth certificate, but he never responded. Because he had never responded, I felt it would be too risky for Researcher to travel back to Honolulu in an attempt to convince Duncan in person. Then WND made a call to Mrs. Sunahara (Duncans mother) in mid-May 2011, and she told him flatly that they had no interest in trying to obtain Virginias birth documents.
At that point I felt it was likely a lost cause to involve the family.
Then Dean met Duncan, and ......
Upon closer inspection, we learned that the number assigned to Virginia's birth certificate is 151-1961-01180, and realized that, statistically, that number simply cannot be legitimate.
Now, here's what's wrong with that number: we all know that the last group of numbers on the "certificate" Barack Obama claims is his official record is 10641, and his certificate was supposedly processed on August 8, 1961. We also know that the Nordyke twins were assigned the numbers 10637 and 10638, and their certificates were processed on August 11, 1961. Virginia Sunahara's birth certificate states that it was processed on August 10, 1961, but the number it was assigned is 443 higher than the Nordyke twin whose certificate was stamped with the number 10637.
Virginia's number, 01180, is not 443 higher than the twins number, it is 9457 LOWER. I can only assume the author is comparing 1180 to 637, which is actually a difference of 543, not 443. But in fact the comparison is between 1180 and 10637, a difference of 9457.
Then the "1" and the "0" are transposed.
Or "a difference of 9457" is even a more absurd difference in the document numbering by the state of Hawaii.
They had a typo - the actual number is 011080
And yes, I am certain that it is in fact 011080 - before anyone calls me names :)
If 151-1961-01180 can't be her real number, whose number is it? What time frame does this number indicate? Who has 151-1961-01179 and 151-1961-01181? When & where were they born?
With corrected numbers:
If 151-1961-011080 cant be her real number, whose number is it? What time frame does this number indicate? Who has 151-1961-011079 and 151-1961-011081? When & where were they born?
From the article:
"We know that there were 17,616 births in Hawaii in 1961, which shows a statistical average of 48 births per day. To arrive at the number now assigned to Virginia's birth certificate, nine to ten days would have had to have lapsed after the Nordyke twins' certificates were processed, but Virginia's processing date was the day BEFORE the Nordyke's."
151-1961-011080 could be:
a/ number of *another dead person*
b/ number of a trusted and politically reliable person.
c/ Obama's real number, having just swapped it with the Sunahara file number.
Option b/ would be safest, if a suitable person was born at the correct time.
This is what I am confused about. Could someone explain please? Let's say 10641 was really Virginia Sunahara's birth certificate number. She was born on the 4th. Her certificate was processed on the 10th. The Nordyke twins were born on the 5th (?). Their records were processed on the 11th. Why then are their numbers, 10637 and 10638, lower than the number processed on the 10th? Isn't this the same problem as with Obama? Am I missing something here?
Option D:
Virginia was in two hospitals in less than 24 hours of her birth. One in a billion chance of this happening.
Hospital A sends copy of vital records with patient to Hospital B.
Nurses are dilligent. Very diligent.
Nurse from Hospital A sends BC to HDOH on day 1.
Nurse from Hospital B sends same BC data on day 2, along with Death Certificate. Both are legit in every way.
HDOH processes first BC, the one Obama eventualy steals.
HDOH processes second BC, along with first, stamps second BC as filed, but is confused, sets it aside. 10 days later, it gets stamped with later number, total confusion at HDOH.
Obama has Phone it in "Junk" that sits in limbo. Never gets a BC. Filed but never accepted, and sent to the News papers.
PA-RIVER, I understood that 11081 was a fake number, assigned to Virginia later to cover up the switch, not her real number. But the real number was the one that initially appeared on Obama's birth certificate. And that was 10641.
If 10641 was not Virginia's number then it must belong to some other person. And this other person must have been born after the Nordyke twins, because it's a later number. Or am I confused?
It is possible that Virginia had two BC's.
One from the first hospital, one from the second.
After they filed the first, they realized they had it wrong and filed the second?
Or, maybe her death caused some delay. Autopsy and DC. Anyone who dies in a hospital gets an autopsy?
The microfilm would tell.
Maybe O was adopted and became an Indonesian citizen, and that caused his BC to get permanently sealed. Maybe he has a long form, but its not allowed to be seen because he's an Indonesian citizen and deserves that privacy that Indonesian citizens have come to expect.
The only explanation I can find is that HDOH was not following procedures when stamping the Certificate number and dates. If they got two BC's for same kid, same day, two hospitals, and then a DC, it may have thrown them for a loop and caused procedures to break down. Eventually they just pushed it all through to get it off the desk, yet all screwed up.
DC was received at HDOH from second Hospital before BC was received from first hospital. No BC is sent from second hospital.
DC is filed. HDOH sends Request to 2nd hospital for the BC.
They then receive BC from First Hospital, stamp it 10641. But they Must back date it, because it is greater than DC file date. This is the one instance where back dating would be logical and probably required.
Three weeks later, Second hospital submits a BC after the request is bounced from desk to desk at the hospital. It is stamped 11080. It is also back dated to precede the DC.
Thank you for your conjectures. Food for thought!
The above is from Dean Haskins. He commented that the birth number was hand written. Not sure of that is significant or not.
Where is that image from?
I was thinking....Because the child died one day after birth, is it possible that the BC was not processed, (numbered), until the date on the DC? That would account for a higher number....
Hmm. An 8pm death on Aug 5 doesn't exactly match the story that Clara gave, IIRC. The name was changed on 8/29/61. That doesn't make sense either, unless they also changed the name on the birth certificate. I thought Clara had said they had not changed any name on a birth certificate. It was a long time ago and she's elderly but if the name was wrong on the birth certificate they would have needed the parents to do something to change it.
Do you know when they processed the death certificate? Especially before or after they processed the birth certificate?
If the HDOH gave Duncan a copy of the original death certificate then it blows out of the water any reason they might give for withholding a copy of the original birth certificate.
That serial stamp on the death certificate seems weird. And the 151 must not mean it's a birth certificate; it must mean something else.
That's where seeing the long-form would be important. It would tell when the BC was ACCEPTED by the state registrar - which is the date that the number was given.
I should see what Haskins has up about this. I'm wondering if the birth certificate was sent along with Virginia to Kapiolani which then submitted it to the HDOH, or whether Wahiawa completed the BC and sent it to the HDOH.
I do not know when they processed the DC but it just looks like to me that the person who did process the DC went looking for the BC to write the correct BC number on the DC. He or she finds that it does not have a number yet or was not even in existence. Because you can't go back in time to retrieve a number that has already been assigned you are stuck recording the next available number.
Goes like this. The mother gives birth. There is an apparent problem with the health of the baby. She is rushed to Kapiolani where she dies the following day. The mother is grief stricken and does not sign the BC until sometime after the baby has been buried. She then signs the BC and it is pre-dated as if she signed it when she was supposed to. It is then that she discovers the wrong name. The name is corrected on the BC and the DC at same time.
Haskins says the BC was processed the day before the Nordykes', so it was processed on Aug 10th - 18 days before the name was changed on the death certificate.
The death certificate could take longer to complete because there could be autopsy results required and the name discrepancy could have caused a delay in matching it with a birth certificate. I wonder what the filing/acceptance date for the death certificate is.
I'm looking at my daughter's certificate of fetal death and see that it was signed by the delivering doctor on Thursday, 1-21-93, which is 8 days after she was stillborn, and filed by the state registrar the following Monday, on Jan 25, 1993. Because she was stillborn there was no certificate of live birth so they didn't have anything to match up that way. The doctor probably waited for the results of the autopsy before signing the death certificate. Wasn't able to put a cause of death because we never found out the cause.
The hospital handles the job of gathering signatures. The mom just does what she's told. Virginia was not buried until mid-September, IIRC. The law required that births be reported within a week so they would not have waited a couple weeks to get her signature. Hospital stays were longer then, and I'm sure they got her signature while she was at the hospital so she wouldn't have those technical things cutting into her grieving time at home.
Probably Wahiawa handled the birth certificate, which would be processed separately from the death certificate.
I have three children and four grand daughters. Even with three children and four grand children I cannot fathom what you have gone through, I can only imagine. God bless you for sticking with this. It is hard enough for me I can't imagine how hard it is for you.
I was at the birth of my last grand daughter and two days after the birth a hospital worker came in with all the paper work for the parents to sign, just before release actually. The certificate of live birth was already signed and dated by the doctor. So I am thinking that VS's mom just didn't sign anything until sometime later. It seems perfectly logical that the mother left the hospital without signing the COLB that the hospital just sent it to DOH anyway. They do their thing, "process it", but have to wait for the mom to come in and sign it and do not record a number.
You are correct the LF would be helpful.
Here's what we do know . . .
The BC would not have been transferred with Virginia to Kapi'olani, as Clara was not transferred with Virginia. The BC was signed by both mother and delivery doctor, so it would have been done at Wahiawa General and then sent to DOH. The DC would have been sent by Kapi'olani.
By law, the DC had to be processed within 3 days, and the BC had to be processed within 7 days.
All processing was done at the DOH in Honolulu—all numbers and dates are assigned there.
Dean Haskins
I just answered my own question. He is Dean.
Boy, there seem to be a lot more suits being filed. Is anyone or any website tracking these in an easy to read listing, and/or etc.? Obama must have increased the size of his legal team and expenses, I would think, to deal with the burgeoning number. Anyone have anything on this?
Signing the paperwork right before release from the hospital is standard procedure. The hospitals have employees whose only or main job is to make sure they have the paperwork handled before the patient leaves. In Hawaii the law says that the hospital is in charge of properly submitting the birth certificate and they are to do it within a week of the birth.
It's routine procedure regardless of the outcome of the delivery. Just like giving the pills to make sure the grieving mom doesn't lactate or signing an agreement for an autopsy. Or having the nurses leave you to go tend the crying baby down the hall, or the mother in labor with a live baby. Sitting alone in the hospital while your husband arranges the funeral. It all seems cold at the time, but it has to be done at the right time or else there will be more sorrow later. The mom is numb anyway; they tell her to sign, she signs. At that point everything is just doing what you have to do to get through it. You go home and take down the crib, try to figure out what to do with all the baby blankets that your friends and family gave you. The tiny diapers. And get ready for the letters from formula companies congratulating you on your baby's birth, wondering if you want coupons for their products.
Thanks for your warm thoughts. This stuff really does bring back a lot of painful memories. I'm always weepy this time of the year anyway. I wish I could give Clara and Duncan a great big hug. I think for anybody who's been through it, every time we hear of someone else's loss it makes us relive those wounds.
If that's you, Dean, and you have a chance to talk to Duncan or Clara, please tell them that I grieve with them and send them a big hug as one who has been through it myself. I've cried many times over their loss. When Researcher told me about their conversation I got off the phone and just had to cry for a while because it brought it all back.
My daughter was stillborn at 42 weeks on January 13, 1993. About a week later President Clinton gave executive orders pushing abortion. Every year about the time when we are remembering the Roe v Wade decision I am remembering my little daughter who is so precious to me.
I would dearly love it if January could be known as the time that Virginia Sunahara's short but precious life was given the respect it deserves.
This is all a bit hard to follow but I don't think that we can know for sure that the handwritten number 151-61-11080 is real.
I mean if Virginia's real BC number is 10641 and it was stolen then it's not too difficult to believe that all the documents BC and DC would be changed to accommodate the fraud.
It would be soooo sweet if Duncan could find the original BC somewhere in his family records. The one that was issued in 1961.
If they were different then the fraud would be obvious and a nice trap to boot.
thanks for the ping...it's got me tricked, her death announcement on 8th August is shown under the name TOMIYO SUNAHARA. On 29th August she's shown on the part-document released by Duncan as VIRGINIA. Does that mean TOMIYO was officially dead for two weeks?
And how long was she actually officially dead by the time she was given a name?
It could be construed that Virginia didn't exist until August 29, couldn't it?
So what's going on in Hawaii? Does this indicate they are idiots or something far more...?...interesting
It maybe idiots that lead to something far more interesting....
What is the possibility of a double switch...0 takes B number and B is given C's number, when someone catches on the 0 being given B's number?
Seems to me, you have some angels sitting on your shoulders and helping you keep at this issue.
I've actually had that thought in mind for a while now, particularly because of the way various entities have been handling the records of another potentially-involved person.
This is why the microfilm roll is so important, and why it is also imperative that the transaction logs and vital records history be examined. Those would show all the changes that anybody made to the various records.
Some of 'em might be right here at FR. We never know when we might be entertaining angels unawares.
The most important people in this battle right now are the prayer warriors; I'm convinced of that. Those who are in the middle of the battle have no hope of anything if they are not covered in prayer, and I know that some of the people who are in critical positions right now are fully aware of that and asking everyone to cloak them in prayer.
Today I was really feeling sad, dealing with a lot of painful memories. You can go so long remembering the good and keeping an even keel and then sometimes the grief hits you just like it was yesterday. I went to work at the after-school program and found myself tired and moody, with little things irritating me. Right before she left for the day one of the 5th-graders came up to me, wrapped her arms around my neck in a hug, and said, "Bye, Mrs R". It was just like a hug from the Lord. There must have been something in my voice when I said, "Thank you so much for that, Sabrina", because her brother also gave me a pat on the shoulder on the way past right after that. Seemingly little things but the Lord knows when we need something to give us strength.
Today it hit me like a rock when it was said on this thread that Clara didn't get to be transported with Virginia. It hurts just to think about that. I got to hold my baby, even though she had already died by then. I hope Clara got to hold her daughter. I can't imagine being in a hospital across town from where my daughter was dying. I ache and tear up just thinking about it. And especially coming after somebody was making fun of the Santorum family for allowing their other children to see their child who died, to let them hold the child. Dang, I'm losing it. To hold that child and send them Home with a name. That's all we can do. I can't imagine somebody wanting to take even that from us, or to mock us for that.
One of our parishioners called at suppertime; one of the other ladies in our church lost her husband to a heart attack today. Just like that, someone who meant so much can be Home and we're left to pick up the pieces. What a gift the people in our lives are. And what a gift the Wonderful Counselor is, the Prince of Peace, the Lion of Judah as your tag says.
Hmmm an external audit of the entire department seem on order!

An exile group says the new Uyghur-language news portal is a Chinese government propaganda tool.
A screenshot taken from the Uyghur.news.cn homepage. RFA
China's state media has launched a Uyghur language news website which it says has become an "instant" hit, but an exile group feels it's another Beijing propaganda machine aimed at "brainwashing" the ethnic minority in the restrictive Xinjiang region who lack access to information from the outside world.
Uyghur.news.cn, a web portal launched by the official Xinhua News Agency on Sept. 15, "aims to provide authoritative, precise and timely information for Uyghur people around the world," Xinhua said in a dispatch Tuesday.
Since the web portal's launch, it had "proved an instant hit, attracting thousands of visitors so far" to view news, classifieds, and services sections, Xinhua said. The portal features "breaking news," a photo section, and articles on the region's culture.
Nur Bekri, Xinjiang's ruling Chinese Communist Party chairman, said that the portal would "bridge the gap" between the region and the world, and help protect the "unique culture" of the Uyghurs.
But the Munich-based World Uyghur Congress (WUC), which speaks out on issues affecting Uyghurs inside Xinjiang and the large Uyghur exile community, said the Xinhua move was part of a government propaganda blitz.
"Now Xinhua has launched a website in the Uyghur language – that is very good. But, this agency belongs to the [ruling Chinese] Communist Party, which does not allow freedom of expression. It is just for brainwashing the Uyghur people," WUC head Dolkun Isa told RFA in an interview.
It is also part of an effort by the Chinese government to gloss over the "persecution" of ethnic Uyghurs in Xinjiang to the international community, he said.
"And it also wants to show that the Chinese government has not stopped the Uyghur language, which is one of the reasons it draws condemnation from international organizations and other countries – because the Chinese government has banned the Uyghur language in university schools," he said.
"Maybe that is why the Chinese government just wants to show to the international community, 'Look, we have never banned the Uyghur language. Even Xinhua has the Uyghur language.' I think this is just propaganda."
Chinese authorities in the troubled northwestern region of Xinjiang tightened Internet restrictions after the regional capital Urumqi was rocked in July 2009 by deadly ethnic clashes between Uyghurs and Han Chinese that left some 200 people dead, according to official figures.
Uyghurs in Xinjiang often complain of policies favoring Han Chinese migration into the region and the unfair allocation of resources to Chinese residents.
Failed policies
Nury Turkel, a Uyghur American attorney based in Washington, said that Uyghurs in China are unlikely to embrace the new website.
"The Uyghurs generally don't believe in what the Chinese government says. They tend to believe the opposite of what the Chinese government says," he said.
"People still continue to look for alternative sources of information ... because [these] provide accurate information."
He said that official restrictions on China's vastly growing community of netizens, particularly those on Uyghur Internet users, will "eventually backfire."
The Chinese government had been ineffective in influencing global opinion on its policies in Xinjiang, which have come under frequent criticism from rights groups, he said.
"Whatever the Chinese government is doing – perhaps even setting up five or six different websites – I think the world will be and has been very skeptical about their statements and propaganda campaigns," he said.
"The Chinese government's statements – even on the most important economic issues – do not have credibility, let alone on political and social issues. The world community has come to the conclusion that the Uyghurs ... are not being fairly treated."
Nur Bekri's statement contains "an illogical gap," he said, adding that whether Chinese officials try to "paint a rosy picture" of the situation in Xinjiang or portray Uyghur dissidents within China as troublemakers, "as long as they continue their propaganda campaign and oppression it's not going to help [them] achieve so-called social stability."
"They need to look at the policy. The policy has been a miserable failure."
According to Isa, the government has banned a number of Uyghur websites and charged more than 130 site administrators and content contributors with "endangering state security" and other forms of "subversion" since the violence three years ago.
He said the official Uyghur-language portal was meant to replace the homegrown sites which had often carried information on issues deemed "sensitive" to Chinese authorities.
He said that the Chinese government also sought to influence the younger generation of Uyghurs in Xinjiang by targeting them through more popular media channels.
Information crackdown
Chinese authorities commonly target websites and netizens reporting on news in Xinjiang to the outside world or which disseminate information within the region on issues of vital importance to the Uyghur community.
In August, 20 people, all believed to be Uyghurs, were jailed for using the Internet to "spread separatism," according to official media.
The 20 were accused of being involved in five terrorist groups and attempting to "incite ethnic hatred and provoke a so-called 'holy war' against the nation," according to the People's Daily.
At the time, the WUC said the harsh sentences were intended to further prevent Uyghurs from speaking out.
"China is meting out heavy sentences to Uyghurs who use the Internet to access information that is not controlled by the authorities and who are expressing opposing political views," the group said.
That same month, Chinese authorities interrogated outspoken Uyghur economist Ilham Tohti, warning him not to speak to the foreign media or discuss religion online, after his website Uyghur Online alleged that authorities had sent armed forces to mosques in Xinjiang to monitor Muslims during Ramadan.
Ilham Tohti had founded Uyghur Online in 2006 as a moderate, intellectual website addressing social issues, but authorities shut it down in 2009.
A new version of the site, which reports Xinjiang news and discusses Uyghur social issues, reopened earlier this year. It is hosted overseas and blocked by censors in China.

The top two students at Greenwood Community High School won't know until just before they graduate who has the highest grade-point average, but that isn't their top concern.
Seniors John Irons and Austin Montgomery have spent the past four years taking advanced, college-level courses, often alongside each other. Montgomery had the highest grade-point average in the high school until last year, and right now Irons has a slight edge.
The students are waiting for their final grades, and whoever has the higher GPA by the end of the week will be their class's valedictorian, while the other will be named salutatorian.
Montgomery, who will attend the United States Military Academy at West Point, has been working to attain the high school's top spot since he was in middle school. He's a competitive person and still wants to achieve that goal, but he also knows there will be more to compete for after graduation.
"We're both going to do good things after high school," Montgomery said. "It'd be cool to me to be No. 1, but if I'm going to lose it to someone, John's a good guy. So I'm not really worried about it either way."
Irons, who will attend Purdue University after he graduates to study aerospace engineering, is also more focused on life after graduation than he is on his GPA.
"Personally, I don't really care," he said. "After this year, you won't ever think of it again. In the long run, it's just something really tiny."
Irons and Montgomery both started taking college-level courses early in high school.
Greenwood offers primarily dual-credit courses, which aren't as widely accepted at colleges and universities across the country as Advanced Placement courses, and won't earn Montgomery any college credits from West Point. But both students wanted to take courses that would prepare them for what they'd have to take in college.
"I wasn't going to get anything out of a regular course anyway, so they definitely helped me push myself and learn more," Montgomery said.
One of the most useful courses for both Irons and Montgomery was an advanced science research course, where a small group of students worked on their own to identify science projects, conduct experiments and then write and present the results.
Two of Montgomery's experiments included tracking the effects of nicotine on the memory, and then tracking the effects of adrenaline on the memory. Gaining the experience of conducting an experiment and then publicly presenting the results will prepare him for the kind of work he'll be expected to do in college, he said.
Irons, who has always been interested in flying, built two rockets in the science course and then tried to create rocket fuel to propel them.
Unfortunately the fuel doesn't work — at least not yet. So part of his experiment was to find out what went wrong.
Irons may work with a friend over the summer to create a new kind of fuel that will launch the two rockets, which he's named Ostrich and Pelican after flightless birds.
"That part did not work out as well as it was supposed to," Irons said. "So we just have two rockets sitting in the back room upstairs. It happens."

Obama, Peace Prizes, and Reciprocity
Funny story: I was singing in the shower this morning, and Robert Gibbs called to tell me I'd won a Grammy. It was actually a little embarrassing, though, since all I've ever really done when it comes to music is tool around with a four track and some barely competent guitar playing. Still, I may have done more to deserve my Grammy than President Obama has done to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.
This, of course, isn't to slag on the president. Maybe at the end of four or eight years we'll have a disarmed Iran and North Korea, a final status agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinian Arabs, and free cone day every day at Ben & Jerrys worldwide. For now, though, all we've had is some pretty talk.
In fact, it seems pretty clear no one is more surprised by this prize than the president himself.
No one's really taken the peace prize terribly seriously since it was awarded to noted terrorist murderer scumbag Yasser Arafat in 1994. Still, it's an interesting move by a certain element of the international community, and it leads to the question: Why'd they do it?
Here's the official explanation:
Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama's initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened.
Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population.
Pretty weak brew. You'd have to think this would have been Bill Clinton's year, with the Clinton Global Initiative and his North Korean babe run. So, what's the real agenda?
One answer making the rounds is that this is yet another anti-Bush statement. A thumb in Dubya's eye. A "don't let the door hit you on the way out" from the folks who think Bush and Cheney should be on trial at The Hague.
It could be that.
The explanation that makes more sense to me is that it's something closer to the old salesman's free-pen trick on a grand scale. A free pen from, say, a pharmaceutical rep to a doctor seems harmless enough. But it triggers a strong reaction in people: reciprocity. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. Social science experiments have consistently shown that giving people thing — even tiny little trinkets — can make them reciprocate in substantial ways. There's a reason this free-pen trick exists, and that's because it works.
President Obama has just received the biggest free pen in the world. I'm not sure what happens to the substantial cash attached to the award, but the prestige is a big free pen in itself. And the intent seems clear enough to me. We, the international community, have bestowed our highest honor upon you. Now, you feel at least a little more inclined to lean in our direction on: global warming, Israel-Palestine, etc.
Will it work? This is too aberrant a situation to pretend that social science gives us any answers. Perhaps it was a mistake on the part of the Nobel committee: Now what high honor does President Obama have to chase? It certainly doesn't strengthen the president's hand domestically. In fact, it's a bit embarrassing here at home.
Still, if you had to guess what the Nobel committee was up to, I'd say reciprocity is as good a guess as any.

Whenever i accelerate a little hard, it has this knocking noise coming from the front right side that can be felt in the floor. Also sometimes when im turning it will make the same noise but not as loud or with as much force as before it used to only do it every once in a while but now it does it almost all the time when i accelerate and about half the time when turning. From what ive seen with problems like this before its best to fix immediately rather than later. I really want help with this one cause i cant narrow down what it could be. Help?

Just Pondering Part 625
by Renard Moreau
I have always believed that blogging is one of the great mediums for self-expression and that everyone is entitled to their point of view.
If you have ever surfed the blogosphere, you would have encountered views that you are in agreement with and of course, those views that you are not in agreement with.
Unfortunately, some bloggers have felt the brunt from other bloggers who are not in agreement with their message.
From a logical perspective, if a person doesn't understand something, they can have a peaceful debate (instead of one designed with warlike hatred) with the blog's author.
I would never insult the living daylights out of someone if I wasn't in agreement with what they wrote.
Firstly, it is there blog.
Secondly, they are entitled to post anything that they like on their blog.
Some people may like war while others make like peace and everyone has the right to express themselves via their blog.
If you enjoyed this article and you would like to read more posts of this nature, please feel free to follow this blog of mine.

As expected, Electronic Arts has extended its tender offer for outstanding shares of Take-Two Interactive.
EA issued a press release this morning announcing that yesterday's deadline has been extended to July 18th. EA exec Owen Mahoney is quoted in the press release:
Our offer price remains unchanged at $25.74 per share, which is a substantial premium to where Take-Two's stock was trading prior to our offer. We congratulate Rockstar on the successful launch of GTA IV but believe our offer reflects a full and fair price based on the long-term value of Take-Two's entire operation.
EA also noted that extending the deadline will permit the Federal Trade Commission's review of the proposed merger to continue. Based on the number of shares reported tendered, EA has made no progress since the last extension.
UPDATE: Not unexpectedly, Take-Two has issued a press release urging sharholders to reject EA's offer.

South Florida had a special 2011-12, reaching the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1992.
But without Anthony Collins, an unheralded recruit from Houston, the Bulls wouldn't have come close to dancing.
A freshman point guard is vulnerable to mistakes. The college game, especially at the Big East's level, is much different than in high school. And, yes, Collins did struggle at times with decisions, turning the ball over 3.4 times per game.
But he more than compensated for his blunders — just imagine, if you can, how the offensively challenge Bulls would have put points on the board without their frosh.
With great quickness and court vision, Collins gave some sort of semblance of fluidity to Stan Heath's offense. He averaged nine points per game and 5.2 dimes per game, and he shot 50.8 percent from the floor for a team that ranked No. 153 in Kenpom's adjusted offensive efficiency rankings, a team whose top-two scorers shot below 40 percent.
Though he recorded just one assist in South Florida's first round win over California, Collins averaged 4 assists throughout the Big Dance. He also turned the ball over a total of six times while averaging 14 points.
In fact, over the last 13 games of the year — including the tournament — Collins showed signs of becoming more than just a distributor, averaging 13.5 points.
Defensively, Collins fits into Heath's gameplan. He's quicker than most guards, giving him the ability to stay in front, and he averaged 1.6 swipes per game last year.
With the void left upfront by Augustus Gilchrist's graduation and Waverly Austin's ineligibility and subsequent transfer to Oregon, you can't say that the Bulls will only go as far as Anthony Collins takes them. That would be unfair, considering Collins can't do much to help out down low.
But, once again, Collins will play a major role in leading this South Florida team back to the NCAA tournament.

Craven County deputies say have uncovered a Pit Bull ring during their investigation into a shooting Wednesday night. They believe that shooting is connected to the dog ring ring.
It happened on Mile Road, that's just inside the Craven County line, along Highway 17 North of New Bern.
Today deputies brought animal control officers to the property. There they found five Pit Bulls and one Beagle dog alive and another Beagle dead. Investigators are still trying to determine exactly who owns the property.
Deputies tell WITN News that Kevin Eure was shot in the face outside of his car. Investigators had originally thought Eure was shot in his car.
We're told the shooting happened during a gathering with some 20 to 30 people.
Deputies brought in tracking dogs to search for the gunman Wednesday night, but so far there have been no arrests.
Eure was transported to Pitt County Memorial Hospital where he is in stable condition.

I found your blog accidentaly while i was researching about constructivism, and i really enjoyed reading your texts!
It's very interesting the way you look into things! great work, i'll keep reading your stuffs!
Airport runway graphics
I've always loved the entirely utilitarian, but accidentally beautiful, random graphic compositions that exist on airport runways and the asphalt roadways leading here and there. Lines and letters, numbers and lights, grays and whites, reds and yellows, shadows and skid marks. Isolated (and particularly in black and white) they become quite interesting, abstract typographic/graphic compositions. One day, I'd love to have free access to wander around an airport (not likely!) and take some carefully composed photos, or better yet, from a helicopter where the vantage point would allow even more interesting views of all the lines, numbers and lights.
I finally had my camera with me during a series of recent flights, and here are a few of my airport runway photographs.

Excellent items from you, man. I have consider your stuff previous to and you're simply too excellent. I really like what you have acquired here, really like what you're saying and the way during which you say it. You make it entertaining and you still care for to keep it smart.

As the winter starts to roll into spring, leg warmers start to become a hassle. Sure, you may need them for the first few minutes of your ride, but after that, it's just more stuff to put into your already overloaded pockets. The Capo Modena Donna Knickers are an ideal cool-weather option when all you want is a little more coverage on your knees.
The Modena Donna Knickers are constructed from Power Lycra, a comfortable and supportive fabric that breathes and moves with you. The material is cut into anatomically contoured panels that are sewn together with flatlock seams. Capo uses its signature crossover waistband to keep the knickers snug around your waist without digging or pinching. Additionally, gripper dots around the hem of the legs hold the knickers in place on your lower leg.
Capo used a chamois that is an Italian-sourced, women's-specific Veloce HD EIT insert. This multi-density pad has been shaped so that it provides support for your sit bones and padding for soft tissue. The central channel provides maximum airflow and is designed to stretch and move with you. This level of comfort and support is as ideal for an all-day century ride as it is for a quick power-hour in spin class.
The Capo Modena Donna Knickers come in Black and in the sizes X-Small through Large.

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Scandinavia is a historical, cultural, and linguistic region in Northern Europe. It is characterized by a common ethno-cultural North Germanic heritage and related language. Scandinavian nations share cultural traits and many related languages. The region itself is known for its natural beauty and most recently, its liberalism.
What Countries Comprise The Scandinavian Region?
Countries in the Scandinavian region are Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. Denmark is the smallest, flattest and the most continental of all Scandinavian countries. It is famous for having the best beaches of Northern Europe, a unique Viking heritage and royal palaces. Norway is in turn famous for its steep mountains, fjords, and wooden churches. It also has a rich and interesting culture with deep roots in farming and fishing, and irrigation systems. It may be said as the most rural and traditional of these countries. Sweden is the largest of Scandinavia's countries by area and population with tens of thousands of islands around the coastline. The Archipelago of Sweden is the second largest archipelago in the Baltic Sea. Finland is the most remote and perhaps the most conservative of the Nordic countries and its language is unlike the other Scandinavian languages. There are hundreds of thousands of islands and lakes to explore in the area. Iceland has spectacular scenery of glaciers, volcanoes, geysers, and waterfalls.
Why Should You Explore Scandinavia?
Scandinavia countries has unsurpassed natural phenomenon. It also has different interesting city destinations, countless outdoor events, and great attractions. The capitals of Scandinavia offer history, metropolitan atmosphere that is combined with tradition and an open minded welcome to all visitors. People in Scandinavian countries also are easier to communicate with as they are mostly able to speak English. It is cheaper to travel there than many people tend to think, has short distances for travel and good transportation.

Little Berlin is a cooperative exhibition space run by approximately 10 people who curate the space using a collaborative, do-it-yourself ethic. Located in Kensington, Philadelphia, members actively pursue community outreach through ongoing projects such as the Philadelphia Public History Truck, The Fairgrounds community garden as well as monthly exhibitions. As opposed to an artist cooperative, we do not usually show our own artwork. Instead, we feature emerging and established artists from the neighborhood, from around Philadelphia, and from across the country.

Tim Blake Nelson honored by Tulsa Awards for Theatre Excellence
TULSA – Tim Blake Nelson's first exposure to live theater performance came as an 8-year-old boy in his native Tulsa, when his grandmother treated him to evenings at the Tulsa Opera.
It was a wondrous thing for the young boy, Nelson remembers – a bonding experience with his grandmother and a chance to experience the grandeur of live performers on stage.
"I can't promise that I always stayed awake," Nelson said in a recent telephone interview, "but it certainly left a powerful impression on me."
Those memories seem particularly relevant this weekend as the very busy actor, director, writer and producer returns to his hometown for the 2012 Tulsa Awards for Theatre Excellence, where he will receive the Distinguished Artist Award for his body of work thus far.
At the 6 p.m. Sunday gala, Nelson – known for his work in films such as "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and directing his own screenplays for "Eye of God" and "Leaves of Grass" – will become the fourth artist to receive the award (after playwright Joe Sears and native Tulsa actresses Mary Kay Place and Kristen Chenoweth).
The TATE awards, underwritten by the George Kaiser Family Foundation, will also present $20,000 in grants to the outstanding play productions from local theater companies.
Nelson said his first exposure to theater as a performer also came at age 8,
when his mother enrolled him in child acting classes at Harwelden. With fellow students he took a backstage tour of a Theatre Tulsa production and was duly fascinated by the scurrying around of stage technicians.
"But it really wasn't until high school at Holland Hall that I took acting seriously at all," he said. "I had a teacher named Karen Clark who recruited me to be in a production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' which I really enjoyed."
Still, the acting bug didn't bite permanently until much later.
After high school, Nelson attended college at Brown University where he majored in Classics and intended to pursue a career in academia. During one summer break his mother encouraged him to stay busy working in summer stage theater.
At one point in college, Nelson said, he also spend on summer in Los Angeles, trying to catch on as a standup comic during open mic nights at The Improv, the Laugh Factory and other venues.
"From that I learned that stand-up comedy was not where my talents lay," he said. "My sense of comedy was far more character-driven than conceptual."
Back at Brown, Nelson said he stuck to his studies and earned his Classics degree. But again, his mother encouraged him to try his hand at other things before he buckled down to a life in the classroom.
"She told me that while I was young should take a chance and pursue something I really loved, and that was acting," Nelson said.
So he enrolled at Julliard School in New York to study acting, and the rest is history. Since breaking into film acting with a small role in 1992's "This Is My Life," Nelson has worked steadily as a character actor in films ranging from "The Thin Red Line" to "Minority Report" and from "The Incredible Hulk" to "Meet the Fockers." And he's directed four films, three of which he wrote – "Eye of God," "The Grey Zone" and "Leaves of Grass." He's currently working to set up financing for his latest screenplay, "The Gyre," a fantasy film which he hopes to also direct.
At Sunday's TATE Awards, longtime Tulsa community theater leader Julie Tattershall will receive the 2012 Mary Kay Place Legacy Award.

I often use the pole/zero analysis in Virtuoso GXL (6.1.3), and it works great, but the way to plot the poles and zeros is quite inconvenient. After each simulation, I have to click somewhere in the Results tab, select "Direct plot -> Main form", click "pz", set options, and click "Plot" before the results appear.
Obviously, it's quite annoying to do all this after each simulation run, while the normal AC analysis just pops right up. Is there a way to make the pole/zero plot appear automatically?
(perhaps equally annoying, is that Virtuoso also always opens another copy of my schematic. I usually work with ADE in one window and the schematic in another, but when I click "Main form", it opens another copy of the schematic in a new tab in ADE. Is there a way to stop this? This also happens when I choose "Print", e.g. for a pole/zero list or detailed operating points.)
Use the "add to outputs" button on the direct plot form - this will add it into your ADE outputs, and then you can choose for that to be plotted automatically after each simulation.
Are you using ADE XL? Or ADE L - your post wasn't that clear.
In reply to Andrew Beckett:
I'm using ADE XL. But the problem is that this "add to outputs" button doesn't exist for the pole/zero plot. It's there when you choose "ac", but not when you choose "pz".
In reply to Grover:
Well, I'd never noticed that before...
If you create an output expression which is:
{ pzPlot() 0}
{pzPlot(?plot 'zeros ?freqfilter 1e12 ?realfilter 0.001) 0}
The ?plot argument can be 'zeros, 'poles or 'polesZeros (default is 'polesZeros). Note that pzPlot is documented, so you can find out more details in the documentation.
Surrounding in curly parentheses is because the function returns t, and an expression needs to return a number - so it has been made to return 0 in this case.
I found there is a CCR, 83212, asking for Add to Outputs to be added for pz analysis, and also CCR 129416 is relevant here. If you want this, please contact Cadence Customer Support and request that a duplicate CCR is filed to increase the demand for this enhancement.
Wow, thanks! This makes my life a lot easier :-)
But still, do you have a solution for the second issue I mentioned? Now that I can automatically plot poles and zeros this is less important, but it still happens when I want to check e.g. the detailed operating point. Is it because I have one window with ADE and another with Schematic, and they are not aware of each other?
What subversion are you using? I was just checking with 18.104.22.1680.17, and if I have the schematic open already - either in another window or another tab, it automatically switches to it when I use direct plot.
If the schematic is not already open, it opens it in a new tab and switches to it, when I use direct plot.
So I've not been able to reproduce it - maybe I've not go the scenario the same as you?
I'm using 184.108.40.2060.13. In detail, this is what I do:
The first time I do step 5, the Schematic window (on monitor 2) returns right to the top of the stack, so I have to descend my way back down to the component I want to measure. Everything else is just fine.
Then I run the simulation again, and do step 5 again. Now the Schematic window stays the way it is, and the ADE XL window (on monitor 1) opens a second tab with the schematic (at top level). When I keep repeating steps 4 and 5, it just switches to this schematic tab each time.
OK, I see - I've reproduced that. I found existing CCR 597896 which talks about this too - I appended your description to it.
It appears to be proposed to be fixed in IC615.

Wine Maker Notes
Vibrant aromas and flavors of red and black berries, black tea, cedar, earth, vanilla, blackberry and cassis, combine with a full mid-palate with considerable, round tannins. Lingering sweet oak notes and dark chocolate add great depth. This wine's upfront silkiness and roundness make for a delicious selection now and will drink well for 15 - 20 years.

Merry Christmas From The Wrecking Yard! [VIDEO]
Yup, another Christmas has came and also is almost in the books and we survived!
Yup, another Christmas has came and also is almost in the books and we survived!
When it comes to the holidays there are the all time classic Christmas movies and I think it's time to add "Bad Santa" to add to that list.
Checkout this funny video of Megadeth performing on The Jimmy Kimmel Live! Show and showing off their new Christmas album.
Newsflash. "Christmas" has not always been "Christmas". It started out as "Saturnalia" and "Yule" WAY before the time of Christ. One of the highlights of the festival of Saturnalia is that the slaves were treated to a banquet of the type that was usually reserved for their owners. This, is the true reason behind the season, giving to those who aren't as fortunate as you.
With Halloween falling on a Thursday it just didn't make sense to close Nightmare On 19th Street on a Friday or Saturday. We are open both nights at a discounted rate.
Who-hoo! We've got a couple hundred pounds of sugar and we're going to use it! Tonight at Nightmare we have our free Trick Or Treat for the kids at 6 p.m. We've got some great people helping us out with this event tonight.
This Wednesday night we give kids a chance to dress up and trick or treat at Nightmare On Nineteenth Street. It's a free event that we've put together with our friends at Ashley Furniture Homestore. Now the reason we put this event together was we felt that Halloween is an experience that ever kid should get to enjoy.
I guess there's no other way to drop this kind of bomb, but Nightmare On 19th Street has signed a one year exclusive production deal. Now, you probably don't know much about how behind the scenes t.v. works, so I'll explain it to you.
Well Fall is in full swing, so we thought we'd give you the lowdown on Nightmare On 19th Street, presented by our very own RockShow. We've got a poster for you to check out, some random facts and links to where you can ask questions or get more information.
Gakk! I think the scariest thing about this video is me! Seriously, there's a reason why I avoid cameras at all costs. Anyways, try to get over the mean looking man in the video and check out just a few video highlights of new stuff at Nightmare on 19th Street.
Nightmare On 19th Street is becoming one of the biggest "draws" in Lubbock. We are pleased to offer a relatively new form of entertainment, the modern day "haunted attraction" (or in our case FOUR haunted attractions).
This Friday and Saturday nights are "Preview Weekend" at Nightmare On 19th Street. Now "Preview Weekend" doesn't mean anything else other than it seemed like if we we're going to start in September, they should have a special significance. You're still going to get the full on experience.

The Female Physique: Motives Guiding Self-Evaluation
Strache, Carolyn Vos, Strong, Alana, Peterson, Cheree, Women in Sport & Physical Activity Journal
The omnipresent physical self remains for young adult females a significant measure of self-worth. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that coping strategies are as complex as they are pervasive as young women strive to maintain positive psychological outlooks despite negatively-perceived physical attributes. Self-presentational concerns may affect one's activity choice.
This study expands on the work of Taylor, Neter, and Wayment (1995) to determine which motives guide the self-evaluation processes of the physical self. An examination of structured interviews identifies which motives direct women in the self-evaluation of their bodies, and concurrently examines whether different motives determine individual response when appraising a "good" versus "not good" physical aspect. Motives, as defined by Taylor et al. (1995), were self-enhancement, self-verification, self-improvement and self-assessment. Interviews were conducted with 30 female, Southern California, undergraduate college students from Southern California, ranging in age from 19-22.
A chi-square analysis revealed that women employed different motives in "good" versus "not good" body aspect comparisons (Enhancement: [X.sup.2] = 21.78 p< .01; Verification: [X.sup.2] = 10.05 p< .01; Improvement: [X.sup.2] = 5.15 p< .05). When describing a "good" aspect, women employed the enhancement motive 92 percent of the time, verification 80 percent of the time, and improvement 15 percent of the time. For "not good" aspects, women used enhancement motive 53 percent of the time, verification 98 percent of the time, and improvement 33 percent of the time. Women used more than one motive 74 percent of the time and single motives only 26 percent of the time in the evaluation process.
Direct quotes reveal that almost all the women sought out information about themselves when they thought it would reflect favorably. However, when they reported on a "not good" aspect, coping mechanisms included redirecting their attention to more positive characteristics or mentally cordoning off an area of weakness to prevent that attribute from permeating all aspects of their identity. Understanding how we think in the self-evaluation process may offer an explanation why some people are motivated to exercise and why others are not.
Self-evaluation is a fundamental task of self-regulation and provides feedback about where one stands and how one is doing compared to one's goals (Taylor, Neter, & Wayment, 1995; Tesser, 2003). People do not think of themselves as one-dimensional constructs; the general self is divided instead into social, physical, and academic domains (Shavelson, Hubner, & Stanton, 1976) and correspondingly, individuals may possess different self-profiles across different domains. People have a range of self-conceptions--schemas that represent their core views--as well as more tentative images based on recent self-perceptions or reflected appraisals. These link to form a general self-concept, but at any given time only one impression will be active in thought and memory (Markus & Kunda, 1986; Markus, 1999.) The factors that determine which self-aspects become activated for different people at different times, and to what effect, is the subject of great interest to researchers.
The current study is limited to judgments of attributes in the physical domain. Harter (2000) found that, at every developmental level, the evaluation of one's appearance takes precedence as the primary predictor of self-esteem. Why should one's outer physical appearance be so tied to one's inner psychological self? Harter suggests that physical appearance is qualitatively different from other domains. The physical self is omnipresent, on obvious display for observation, unlike qualities such as academic performance, peer like-ability, behavioral conduct or morality, over which the individual has more revelation control. …
