A tradition at the SRCD Biennial Meeting is the "Lunch with the Leaders" that provides a forum for students to interact with senior scholars who have central roles in the field of child development and the Society. Five students may reserve a seat to share lunch conversation with each leader. Approximately three weeks in advance of the Biennial Meeting, each person receives an introductory email message from the leader of his/her assigned table. We invite each young scholar to send one or two questions to the leader before the meeting and to exchange email correspondence with others who will be seated at his/her table.

The latest Lincoln MKC crossover now features a MyLincoln Touch system that has buttons and knobs, replacing the sliding touch controls of the MKZ sedan. Both the MyFord Touch and MyLIncoln Touch were the main reasons why Ford and its luxury brand have been at the bottom of customer satisfaction surveys.
Both consumers and critics say that the systems have been "confusing and balky." Lisa Drake, MKC chief engineer, remarked that they "heard feedback from MKZ customers" when designing the 2015 MKC a compact premium crossover.
While the MyLincoln Touch screen-based infotainment system remains, engineers placed buttons and knobs to make basic functions like increasing the volume, tuning the radio and setting the temperature. Lincoln is set to roll out the MKC compact premium crossover to dealers in late spring or early summer.
Lincoln is also revamping its launch process as well as its marketing strategy, partly due to the fact it had a hard time launching the redesigned MKZ, which the luxury brand has touted as the first car in its brand reinvention. Lincoln's launch of the 2013 MKZ was also considered a flop, after the sedan arrived over three months late due to quality problems.
The quality issues prompted the delivery of the vehicles from its Hermosillo site in Mexico, to its Flat Rock plant in Michigan for quality inspections and repairs because a new Lincoln Validation Center in Mexico wasn't prepared to manage the volume. Another issue that hounded the MKZ was that it was launched within a few months of the 2013 Ford Fusion. The launch made the MKZ issues more complicated.

Ukraine bans officials from govt criticism
Ukraine has banned government officials from publicly criticising the work of state institutions and their colleagues, after damaging disclosures last month that highlighted slow progress in fighting corruption.
The move on Tuesday immediately drew criticism from some civil servants who saw it as a blow to freedom of speech at odds with the embattled government's Western-backed reform drive.
The rule on "loyalty" is one of several outlined in a new ethics code that civil servants must follow or face disciplinary action, according to a decree posted on the government website.
"The government has decided to introduce standards of ethical conduct for civil servants to restore public faith in the work of the state bodies and officials," the decree said.
Government employees should "avoid any public criticisms of the work of state institutions and their officials," the code stipulates, alongside rules on the need for transparency and integrity.
The shock resignations in February of Economy Minister Aivaras Abromavicius and a top prosecutor shone a spotlight on the failure of the Kiev leadership to follow through on promises to eliminate the influence of vested interests on policymaking.
In a Facebook post about the new ethics code, Olena Minitch, a department head in the economy ministry, said the new rules appeared to have been "created hastily and adopted quickly" in the wake of Abromavicius's allegations about corrupt state practices.
"The little document ... is in the best traditions of the Communist period, more precisely in the traditions of Stalin and Beria," Minitch said, referring to repressive Soviet leader Josef Stalin and his security chief, Lavrenty Beria.
The future of the government itself is in doubt unless Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk can shore up the coalition and avoid snap elections, having barely survived a no-confidence motion in parliament in February.

About the Book
By the late 1960s serious opposition to the war in Vietnam had developed. Hundreds of thousands had already marched and demonstrated around the country before the afternoon of November 15, 1969 when the people of San Francisco took to the streets for the Vietnam War Moratorium Peace March.
As I walked along Geary Boullevard to Golden Gate Park with the crowd I photographed individuals, and groups with banners—it seemed like a cross-section of everyone in San Francisco. I used a 35mm Leicaflex SL camera with a semi-wide angle 35mm lens, and a standard 50mm lens. The film was Kodak Tri-X, and I developed it with a formula of Edwal FG7 and sodium sulfite that I learned from photo-grapher Pirkle Jones. Jones became well known for his photographs of the Black Panthers. The photos in this book are printed as they were composed in the camera.

It's easy to get excited about the potential power of the internet to fight government impunity, curb human rights abuses, and induce democratic reforms in authoritarian states. New Media experts like see enormous potential in social media. Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube have all gotten a lot of attention for their roles in protests movements from Iran to Burma to Moldova, demonstrating that they can be powerful tools for change. But Evgeny Morozov, Yahoo! Fellow at Georgetown University and contributing editor at Foreign Policy, isn't so sure we should be celebrating such successes so soon. Morozov writes in the of
Dissent Magazine that the tools of Web 2.0 can just as easily be used to foment hatred and violence or secure government control in authoritarian states.
In the video below, Morozov discusses his ideas at a TED Conference:
Morozov's views touch upon a number of ethical issues that we here at WITNESS have been thinking and blogging about related to video advocacy in an open, socially-networked world. The broad point is that the internet is a neutral medium that can be used for good or ill. The key is to learn to use it in such a way that promotes positive change and human rights while minimizing the dangers that come along with it.
One important issue Morozov highlights is the danger posed by governments using social networking sites to spy on their own citizens, especially the politically and socially active. Says Morozov:
"[B]oth Facebook and Twitter give Iran's secret services superb platforms for gathering open source intelligence about the future revolutionaries, revealing how they are connected to each other. These details are now being shared voluntarily, without any external pressure. Once regimes used torture to get this kind of data; now it's freely available on Facebook." (Priscila Néri discusses this in her blog post on the Iran protests.)
Indeed, the Iranian government is moving forward along those lines. Last week, as reported in , Iran created a special task force to police the internet. The head of the task force, Colonel Mehrdad Omidi, was quoting as saying, "Given the spread of internet use, police must confront crimes taking place in the web atmosphere, a special committee has been set up to monitor the internet and deal with crimes... such as fraud... insults and the spreading of lies." He also pledged to intervene in "political matters... should there be an illegal act." Perhaps more worrisome are reports that the Iranian government this week began sending SMS messages to citizens warning them that they had been identified as past protesters and should stop participating in protest events. Iran is already listed by Reporters Without Borders as one of its 12 'internet enemies,' having blocked an estimated 10 million Web sites deemed politically or socially offensive. In the days after the contested June election, Iran reportedly purchased equipment used to monitor internet and e-mail communications. During last summer's election protests there were also reports of the Iranian security services using fake Twitter accounts to .
As WITNESS and the organizations it partners with begin to use more social networking and new media technology to produce and distribute videos, the ability of repressive governments to use that same technology against those involved with and featured in the videos will have to be weighed in along with more traditional security concerns. The structures of social networks mean that if one person's data or information is insecure, his or her connections' might be as well. Cyber-security risks will have to be taken into account and explained when seeking an individual's informed consent to use footage of them in a video.
While government censorship, monitoring, and infiltration are serious concerns, there are ways for human rights advocates and civil society members to defend against them. In Iran for example, members of the 'Twitterverse' such as outed government infiltrators on Twitter by . Other social platforms have built-in means of defense. for example features discussion, or , which offer the opportunity to discuss improvements to a particular Wikipedia page. As the demonstrates, such discussion can include whether misinformation is being spread on a page. The Talk pages model might be suitable for adaptation to networks in order to protect against infiltrators and misinformation. Perhaps the most impactful way for civil society to overcome government disruption is the use of online anonymity systems like . Borne out of a U.S. military project, Tor is an open source system that allows users in countries where certain sites are blocked or where online action is monitored to access blocked sites and to do so completely anonymously. That way, a pro-democracy blogger in China can keep his identity secret from the government and a user in Syria can access Web sites blocked by the government.
For a quick lesson in how Tor works, watch this video:
Morozov also highlights the rise of internet companies dedicated to removing or burying complaints against other companies so that they do not show up on internet searches. These companies frequently target sites like The Consumerist, but could easily target rights groups as well. On the less legal side of things, distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks can be used to shut down sites containing harmful content. It is not too hard to imagine that a government might use similar tactics and technology to bury Web sites and web-based videos alleging that it was committing human rights violations. Indeed, Russia has been thescene of many such attacks. have been launched against the Web sites of , , and the newspaper , to name a few. In Burma, pro-democracy Web sites were attacked leading up to the first anniversary of the monks' uprising. Morozov highlights the story of Georgian blogger CYXYMU, who in 2008 was pushed off numerous blogging platforms by persistent DDOS attacks. Morozov calls him a "."
Another problem identified by Morozov, which has important implications for video advocacy, is how to ensure that relevant - and authentic - videos and images rise above the din of extraneous and sometimes fraudulent videos that flood the internet. (See my previous for one example.) How do rights groups and advocates separate the digital wheat from the digital chaff? Morozov illustrates this issue using the example of YouTube videos that support false findings about vaccine safety. In the human rights world, governments, NGOs, and civil society groups must face the problem of verifying footage shot by anonymous third-parties. Locating and debunking fraudulent or doctored video is paramount. Regarding his example, Morozov asks "whether a technology company such as YouTube (and ultimately its parent company, Google) should verify scientific claims made in the videos uploaded to the site; if yes, how should they go about it?" (YouTube recently introduced YouTube Direct, which allows media organizations to "request, review, and rebroadcast" video directly from users, providing a level of editorial oversight.) This question can easily be applied to human rights organizations and claims of rights abuses. Morozov is optimistic that algorithms and programs will be created to form an "electronic lie detector" that will be able to differentiate between the two.
Perhaps another option would be to create a Web site in the model of Snopes.com that investigates the veracity of human rights-related videos and images that arise on the internet. Such a site could bring to bear the focused expertise of the human rights community to separate verifiable from fraudulent data. Wikipedia's Talk pages model could also be applied here. Indeed, the bulk of the discussion on Talk pages consists of debate over whether information is false or misleading.
As Shirky argues, the social platforms of Web 2.0 offer unprecedented opportunities to create positive change. But such opportunities will not realize themselves. In Morozov's words, "[c]yberspace politics is a zero-sum game." While initiatives like Ushahidi have been used to garner real-time data about conflicts and rights abuses that can be used to save lives and promote positive change, similar initiatives, according to Morozov, are used for ill by xenophobic Russian nationalist groups to identify the locations of ethnic populations in that country. Rights groups can post videos documenting human rights abuses, but hostile groups can flood the web with remixed videos in order to discredit the originals and disrupt advocacy efforts.
The dilemma posed by Web 2.0 is perhaps best framed as an economic equation that encapsulates each of the issues discussed above. On the supply side is the issue of how to ensure access to accurate, authentic data while weeding out bogus information and keeping data providers secure. Morozov is reasonably certain that this side of the equation will ultimately be solved. More problematic is the demand side - how do we use verifiable documentation of human rights violations safely, ethically, and effectively once we have access to it? That, hopefully, is an issue that WITNESS, by empowering human rights groups to use video for change, can help to solve.
We'd like to hear your thoughts on these issues:
Do you agree with Morozov or is he too pessimistic about Web 2.0 and social media?
How can we use social media platforms more securely?
How do we bring order and a standard of veracity social media platforms while maintaining the freedom of Web 2.0?

Of the new anime series airing this season, one that really caught my eye was Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka or Danmachi for short. The title for the English version is: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? I really like how the anime takes standard RPG tropes and applies them to their world, like how an adventurer can 'view' their stats similar to the status menu in an RPG or there is a level system to indicate overall growth. As a child I grew up playing JRPGs (My blog name is a good indicator of that) and today it still remains my favorite gaming genre, although shmups and 2D fighting games are coming close. This anime has been a blast to watch so far, and I'm really liking the characters, especially Hestia; she is adorable and a really supportive goddess. <3
I was so impressed with the 4 episodes I've seen so far, I went and picked up the English versions of the first two light novels!
Here's the synopsis lifted straight from MAL:
Commonly known as the "Dungeon," the city of Orario possesses a huge labyrinth in the underground. Its strange name attracts excitement, illusions of honor, and hopes of romance with a pretty girl. In this city of dreams and desires, new adventurer Bell Cranel has his fateful encounter with the tiny Goddess Hestia.
Thus begins the story of a boy striving to become the best adventurer and a lonely goddess searching for followers both hoping to reach their goals and perhaps have some romance on the side.
If you're interested you can watch the anime over at Crunchyroll!
Volume 1 of the Light Novel can be purchased here from Amazon.

Andy Murray survived a nervy fifth-set decider against Czech veteran Radek Stepanek to complete a 3-6 3-6 6-0 6-3 7-5 comeback win and scrape into the French Open second round.
But number one seed Novak Djokovic advanced a lot more easily, beating Lu Yen-hsun of Taiwan 6-4 6-1 6-1 to open his campaign.
Murray had been tormented by his 37-year-old opponent in the previous evening's gloom, being outplayed in the opening two sets before repairing some of the damage by the time bad light intervened with him leading 4-2 in the fourth set.
If he hoped things would be less complicated when the match resumed on Philippe Chatrier Court, he was sadly mistaken as a reinvigorated and inspired Stepanek came within two points of an unlikely upset.
There was plenty of respect from Murray after the match, as he warmly consoled the 128th-ranked Czech and applauded him off court.
"It is unbelievable what he is doing. He had a bad injury last year yet at 37 is still coming out and fighting like he is," said Murray.
"He has always been extremely difficult to play. He hardly missed any volleys – until the one on match point and even that nearly got over – hit a lot of drop shots and hit the ball very flat and that made it very hard for me.
"I don't expect to be doing that at his age! I am just pleased to have got through."
Murray won 10 of the last 12 games on Monday to seize the momentum and sealed victory when Stepanek netted an attempted drop-volley.
With a kind-looking draw, Murray can now look forward to another deep run at a venue where he has reached the semis three times.
"I had a bit of momentum yesterday. But I had to fight extremely hard today," Murray said.
He'll now play French wildcard Mathias Bourge in the next round.
Djokovic, who is trying to win the only grand slam he has never won, had his only blip when he dropped serve in the eighth game of the opening set.
But having levelled for 4-4, the wheels came off for Lu and the 32-year-old only won two more games before Djokovic safely secured a second-round clash with Belgian Steve Darcis.

Yet-Peace Will Come
Strolling the meadow in the dew lit morn
To the edge of the river, pine tree crowned.
Pondering life's many strange ways.
Listen to the birds call,
Listen to the water run,
Listen to the wind blow
Through the tree tops that sway.
The sun dappled down on my face,
Quiet bathes the world with peace.
Later, hiking along the well traveled path,
Cooled, as afternoon traffic races by.
Horn honking, diesel rumbling, music blaring,
People blather and jabber, cackle and chatter,
Cacophony assaults my ears.
When will this wandering end?
Pandemonium wraps the world in disarray.
Yet, meandering through twilight speckled with stars.
The four o'clocks open, hummingbird whirring
In the soft breeze. Four o'clocks getting sleepy and
Closing their eyes. Soft breeze, cool stars, warm home,
Sitting on the porch swing gazing outward
Four o'clocks and I close our eyes together.
Calm embraces the world with tenderness.
You get us all dreamy and relaxed and then yuck, but you save us in the end :) Nice.
Your poetry is exceptional! I appreciate your thoughtful title. I'm seeing a book containing poetry and artwork--by k@ri.
That's awesome! I think that title selection with poetry is one of the most important things. I love that you spent that much time giving thought to it. I'm impressed :) And now the poem is even that much more meaningful to read.
Beautiful photos to go with this beautiful poem. How do you have time to be so good at so many things???
Poetry about paths and wandering are some of my all time favorites. This one has a great mood and was very fun to read with all the various pictures. Excellent poem. A question though. Why did you pick the word "Yet" as the title?
Romantic... Very nice work K@ri
Thumbs up here
k@ri that was beautiful - the words and the pictures. I think one part provided a great foil to the other!
I especially loved the first section, one sound building upon another. So peaceful and beautiful. It's why I love good old fashioned camping so much. The second section was just nasty. Culture shock. I can't even believe that we endure that everyday, most of us anyway. The third section was relieving.
this one fits too, probably more...
"Horn honking, diesel rumbling, music blaring,
People blather and jabber, cackle and chatter,
Cacophony assaults my ears."
Exactly. My youtube video of the night:
The words and the images collide in a perfect duet. You've done it nicely, YET again! Need I say we want more? :D
Great ! images and wonderful poetry, I especially love the sunset over the ocean picture, did you take that?
Beautiful and relaxing poem K@ri, I enjoyed the imagery.
Loved the way you interspersed your photos with your poetry, great imagery K@ri.
