Pedophilia is an unnatural or abnormal attraction towards children of either or both sexes, usually aged thirteen years or younger. A pedophile's attraction towards adults varies. They fantasize and/or act on their fantasies with children who have not reached puberty. Pedophilia is one of the most common paraphilia (abnormal sexual desires). The DSM i. E. Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders has included pedophilia as a mental disorder.
Here are a few facts about the disorder:
1. Pedophilic disorder is when pedophiles approach children to sexually gratify themselves or if desires towards children make them feel guilty and anxious and so, they alienate themselves from the society and are unable to achieve their personal goals.
2. One very important fact that one must keep in mind is that not all pedophiles molest children and not all child molesters are pedophiles. When one desires children, they are pedophilic. But only when they act on their desires, and sexually assault children, they are child molesters.
3. Since most pedophiles do not come forward or admit to having sexual desires towards children, most of the studies have been conducted on the pedophilic child molesters. However, the number of pedophiles is vast considering that there are about 4 million websites in business catering to child pornography.
4. Opening up and seeking help from a psychologist or psychiatrist might help them in curbing and managing these desires and prevent them from acting on them and committing sexual offenses. In rare cases, pedophiles are also prescribed medications to lower their sex drive.
5. Male pedophiles are far more common than female ones.
6. Most of the child sex offenders are family and relatives.
7. Psychologists believe that children who are lonely and aloof, and feel neglected are at a higher risk of being sexually abused. The type of activities differs in each case, while some just undress and look at a child, others force the child to take part and perform oral sex and/or touch the genitals or more.
8. In most countries, it is mandatory to report a pedophile to the authorities even when there is no risk, which is why most pedophiles do not come forward and admit having this disorder. They refrain from seeking help.
However, there is a prevention project dunkelfeld in Germany that provides free of cost services to people who are attracted to children, but are dedicated to not to act on their desires and molest children. This program maintains its members' confidentiality. Such programs are essential for a healthy society.

One of the emerging psychiatric disorder that has significant medical and psychiatric consequences is compulsive sexual behaviour or hypersexuality, is an obsession with sexual thoughts in which people cannot manage their sexual behaviour. It may involve a commonly enjoyable sexual experience as self-stimulation which becomes an obsession. The person suffering from the condition may also get involved in sexual behaviours that are outside the bounds of commonly accepted conduct like paying for sex or having extramarital affairs.
Untreated compulsive sexual behaviour damages one's self-esteem, health, job, relationships and career. However, with treatment and self-help, one can manage compulsive sexual behaviour and learn to manage one's urge. Males are more likely to be unfaithful than females because they have stronger sexual impulses and weaker self-control. Compulsive sexual behaviour symptoms vary in type and severity. During intense sexual impulses, one feels as if they're beyond control. This is the first and the most common symptom as the patient uses compulsive sexual behaviour as an escape route for problems like loneliness, depression, anxiety and stress. One has trouble establishing and maintaining emotional closeness, even if one is married or in a committed relationship.
The treatment for compulsive sexual behaviour involves psychotherapy and medications. A primary goal of treatment is to help one manage urges and reduce excessive behaviours while maintaining healthy sexual activities. If one has compulsive sexual behaviour, one may need treatment for mental health condition. People with compulsive sexual behaviour often have alcohol or drug abuse problems or a mood disorder such as depression.
Counselling sessions can help one learn how to manage one's compulsive sexual behaviour. Intensive treatment programs for compulsive sexual behaviours focus on identification of core triggers and beliefs about sexual addiction. It assists in development of healthier choices and coping skills to minimize urges and deal with the preoccupation of sexual addiction. Psychodynamic psychotherapy can prove to be very useful as it focuses on increasing one's awareness of unconscious thoughts and behaviours, and developing new insights into their motivations. Resolving conflicts using this therapy is also recommended. The other kind of treatment program is cognitive behavioural therapy. This therapy helps one to identify unhealthy, negative beliefs and behaviours and replace them with healthy, positive ones. Family therapy and couples therapy may restore trust, minimize shame and guilt thus establishing a healthy sexual relationship between partners.
Medications include anti-depressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, mood stabilizers and anti-androgens have also been used to treat compulsive sexual behaviour. Anti-androgens are prescribed as it reduces the biological effects of sex hormones in men thus reducing sexual urges. Luteinizing hormone is also prescribed as it reduces obsessive sexual thoughts by reducing the production of testosterone. Anti-seizure medications, naltrexone, and medications which decrease male hormones have been found to decrease the compulsive urges and impulses associated with sexual addictions for some sufferers.
Every individual experiences anxiety in some form at some point of time. One suffers from an anxiety disorder if one experiences dogged, unrealistic worrying about everyday life. One is said to experience panic attack if the abrupt attacks have symptoms like racing heart, nausea, tremors and intense fear. A panic attack is a sudden rush of overwhelming anxiety and fear. The heart pounds and breathing becomes difficult. If ignored and untreated, panic attacks can lead to panic disorder and may cause one to withdraw from normal activities.
With a little mindful attention and practice, one can reduce or eliminate the symptoms of a panic attack, manage anxiety, and prevent attacks from occurring in the future and regain control of life. If one is having a panic attack, then the aim is to calm oneself at the moment by breathing deeply. This would reduce the stress and provide oxygen to the brain to help one focus. Hold your breath to start with and reduce the feeling of choking and then begin to breathe slowly. Inhale through nose and exhale through mouth till one notices a difference in muscle relaxation and clarity of thought.
During a panic attack, your thoughts are often jumbled up. This is due to the fact that one's heart rate has kicked off and breathing is in high gear, muscles are tensed and blood flow is constricted. One should try to focus on one's senses and should distract the mind from fear through different mental diversions. This can be as simple as reciting the lyrics to your favourite song or poem until one has calmed down a bit. It is important that one should make sure not to distract by leaving the situation that has caused the panic. One must ride out the panic attack at the same place else one will likely associate that place or situation with fear triggering future attacks.
Try to practice progressive muscle relaxation by slowly going through body and tensing and relaxing each muscle group. It relaxes muscles as well as forces one to concentrate on something other than fear. Although, if one want to reduce the anxiety, don't ignore it. One should try stop anxiety producing thoughts and replace them with images of something that brings you happiness or peace. Using guided image of a place where one feel at peace and relaxed, reduce one's experience of anxiety. Further, add details to the scene, so that one is focusing the entire mind on imagining it.
Taking care of one's physical health will help take care of mental health. Healthy exercise and diet habits will help you manage manage anxiety. Getting an body active, especially through aerobic exercise, releases chemicals that are responsible for increasing ones feelings of peace and happiness. Stimulants like as caffeine and nicotine worsen existing anxiety and dependence on them can increase feelings of stress and anxiety when one don't get enough of it. Eat a balanced diet with plenty of lean protein, complex carbohydrates like whole grains, and fresh fruits and vegetables and avoid processed and high-sugar foods. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a psychiatrist and ask a free question.
How to focus on studies? I am in depression and I am separate from my partner I am facing these problems while studying.

So please prescribe or recommend me any good medicine for permanent cureness of this disorder.
I want gain more concentration in my studies. Can you please recommend me that which food will help me to do so.
According to most experts, depression and diabetes have been intricately connected in a vicious cycle. While the prolonged and sustaining nature of diabetes directly makes one vulnerable to the bouts of depression, doctors tend to locate traces of depression in the family history of an individual in order to diagnose the roots of diabetes. It won't be too far-fetched to state that both causes as well as affects the other.
If you have diabetes, either type 1 or type 2, you have an increased risk of developing depression. And if you're depressed, you may have a greater chance of developing type 2 diabetes. The good news is that diabetes and depression can be treated together. And effectively managing one can have a positive effect on the other.
How Diabetes and Depression Correlated?
There are myriad ways in which diabetes affects depression and vice versa.
Firstly, tackling such a long drawn disease and its various pitfalls might cause a lot of anxiety to one and lead to depression. Whereas on the other hand, depression reduces the zeal to live and thus results in poor lifestyle choices which in turn causes weight gain, unhealthy food habits, physical inactivity. As we are well aware, all these have the potential to wreak havoc for any patient of diabetes.
Similarly, diabetes ushers in various other health complications, adversely impacting one's productivity. This may cause depression in a lot of people.
On the flipside, depression impedes one's ability and enthusiasm to work or communicate, this in turn intervenes with one's monitoring of diabetes. Since these two extremely malevolent diseases have such close connections, medical science recommends ways to grapple with both. The rigors of managing diabetes can be stressful and lead to symptoms of depression.
Diabetes can cause complications and health problems that may worsen symptoms of depression.
Depression affects your ability to perform tasks, communicate and think clearly. This can interfere with your ability to successfully manage diabetes.
Treatment: Depression is just like any other illness, it can be treated. Treatment can lift the depression and improve diabetes control.
Looking after your diabetes will help decrease the risk of getting depression. If you already have depression, good diabetes management will help lessen the negative impacts it can have. Depression is no different to any of the other complication of diabetes. It is a genuine illness for which you need to seek help and support from health professionals.
The treatment for depression and diabetes involves a coordinated approach that monitors both diabetes control and the symptoms of depression. It is about finding the treatment that works best for each person. For example, people with diabetes and mild depression may find that regular physical activity improves depressed moods and also helps control blood glucose levels.
Helping Yourself.
If you suspect you might have depression, take control of your health by:
- Going to a doctor or other health professional
- Getting involved in social activities
- Engaging in regular moderate physical activity
- Learning about depression and diabetes
- Very particular about medicines prescribed for Diabetes
- Eating healthily and including a wide variety of nutritious foods
- Achieving and maintaining healthy weight
- Limiting your alcohol intake
- Getting help, support and encouragement from family and friends
- Asking your doctor to check your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose levels
The word epilepsy brings to mind visions of people frothing at the mouth and rolling on the ground. However, epilepsy affects each patient in a different way. This can make it hard to recognize at times. In the more serious cases of epilepsy, an epileptic attack can make a patient injure himself or develop other life threatening conditions. In rare cases, epilepsy can even cause death. Thus it becomes imperative to understand how to deal with epilepsy.
Treatment options for epilepsy can be categorized as medication, surgical procedures and dietary changes.
Medication for epilepsy is prescribed on the basis of the symptoms presented and the type of epilepsy the patient is suffering from. In most cases, seizures can be controlled with a single type of medication, but in others, the doctor may need to prescribe a combination of medicines to control epilepsy. These forms of medication do have side effects and hence any reactions to the medication must be immediately brought to the doctor's notice. The dosage for epilepsy medication may need to be varied with time. An epileptic patient should never discontinue medication on their own.
Depending on the type of seizures and the area of the brain affected, a doctor may advise surgery in cases of severe epilepsy. Surgery can help reduce the number of seizures experienced or completely stop them. Surgery to treat epilepsy is of many types. Some of the common procedures are:
1. Surgery to remove tumor of any such conditions that may be triggering the epileptic attacks
2. Surgery to remove a small section of the brain from where a seizure originates. This may also be referred to as a lobectomy.
3. Multiple subpial transaction or a surgery that involves making a series of cuts in the brain to prevent the seizures from spreading to other parts of the brain.
4. Surgery to sever the neural connections between the right and left hemispheres of the brain.
5. Surgery to remove half the brain's cortex or outer layer
Dietary changes
A diet rich in fats and low in carbohydrates can help reduce seizures. This is known as a ketogenic diet and aims at making the body break down fats instead of carbohydrates. It can cause a buildup of uric acid in the body and thus should be practiced only under the guidance of a dietician. In cases where epileptic attacks are triggered by malnutrition and birth defects, taking vitamin supplements can help lower the frequency of seizures.
Anyone can get shoulder pain, and the cause might be simple to serious. You may get shoulder pain because of minor injury, carrying too much weight on the shoulders, poor posture, and any underlying health condition. Sometimes the pain comes and goes on its own without any need of taking medicines, but at times, it becomes difficult to treat them.
Conditions which may lead to shoulder pain may include rotator cuff disorders, instability of shoulders, frozen shoulder, broken arm, broken collarbone, and acromioclavicular joint problems.
The following are a few common causes-
1. Rotator cuff disorder:
A rotator cuff is a group of tendons and muscles which surround the shoulder joint. Tendons are hard and rubbery cords that link muscles to bones. The rotator cuff holds the joint in the right position so that it can move in a desired and controlled way. There are different types of rotator cuff disorder, and each of them leads to various symptoms. But common aspects of the problem include:
- Pain which starts worsening during activities involving the arm above shoulder level. This may include brushing the hair.
- Pain occurring on the front side of the shoulder which tends to worsen during the night
- Ache that occurs on the front and side of the shoulder
Different types of rotator cuff disorders and their characteristics are as follows:
- Tendonitis and bursitis- Tendonitis refers to the swelling of tendon while bursitis is inflammation of the bursa. Bursa is the fluid-filled sacs that are typically placed on the joints and in between bones and tendons.
- Tears- A torn tendon or muscle cause possible weakness and severe pain in the arm and shoulder. Some people also feel a popping sensation when they move the shoulder.
2. Shoulder instability
The shoulder is a type of ball and socket joint and shoulder instability takes place when the ball part of the shoulder fails to fit in correctly in the socket. It can range from catching or slipping feeling to total shoulder dislocation where the ball entirely comes out of the socket.
3. Frozen shoulder
Also referred to as adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder is a painful and persistent stiffness present in the shoulder joint. This makes it very difficult for carrying out the full range of normal shoulder movements. Frozen shoulder takes place when there is swallowing, thickening, and tightening of the flexible tissue which surrounds the shoulder joint. This doesn't allow enough space for the upper arm bone or humerus in the shoulder joint and makes shoulder movement painful and stiff. A person affected with frozen shoulder may find it difficult to carry out the daily chores such as driving, exercising, and sleeping in a comfortable position. Some people may find it absolutely impossible to move their shoulders at all. The symptoms of frozen shoulder can vary to a great extent, but it starts advancing at a gradual pace.
When left untreated, shoulder pain may or may not worsen. When it does worsen it is important to see your doctor.
My board exams are there I am felling very stress. And I have so much burden on my head. It is 10 it's to hard for me to do.
Every packet of cigarette comes with the warning 'Smoking is injurious to health'. With every national budget plan, the prices of nicotine based additives are hiked. Yet, you cannot quit smoking because you find it extremely difficult to resist the nicotine urge. Ayurveda says that the root cause of addiction is mental stress due to one of the 3 Doshas that are Vata, Pitta, Kapha. People try to terminate them through temporary, addictive methods rather than a bit more natural, holistic methods. Here's how it can be easier for you to quit smoking by adopting Ayurvedic remedies.
Ayurvedic remedies:
- Drink adequate amount of water, especially from a copper vessel. This helps to accumulate the wastes and release them.
- Perform the Neti Kriya (inhaling saline water through one nostril and releasing it through the other and then reversing the procedure).
- Performing the Bhastrika Pranayama twice every day, both in the morning and at night.
- Consume 3 tablets or 1 teaspoon of triphala everyday before going to bed, to eliminate the deposited nicotine tar in your system.
- Consumption of a measured mixture of ashwagandha, bala, shatavari and ginseng every day, or a chyawanprash containing these help in detoxification.
Changes in diet:
- Avoid consumption of alcohol and other addictive drugs, such as coffee, sugar, etc. because they increase the urge to smoke.
- Decrease intake of fatty foods because your metabolism rate is lower than at most other times, so you might risk gaining weight during this period.
- Try a vegetarian diet because it increases the Sattvik quality of your mind. Every fresh food item contains prana or life which rejuvenates both your body and mind.
- Chew anti-nicotine gums or suck on cinnamon sticks which curb your urge to smoke.
- Keep eating low-calorie food items like carrots, apples or celery.
- Incorporating regular exercise in your routine may help you to quit smoking more easily. It controls weight gain, which is a side-effect of quitting, and also offers you a fit and healthy lifestyle.
- Meditating and doing yoga regularly helps in relaxing your mind. Yogic postures like Sabasan help attain internal peace and divert your mind from craving to smoke.
Besides these techniques, there are various other ways like taking help from a professional ayurvedic counselor, which will help you quit smoking, socializing with friends or spending quality time with your family, will keep your mind diverted from the stress of quitting.

Understanding Farmers Information Communication Strategies for Managing Climate Risks in Rural Semi-Arid Areas, Tanzania
Crop production risk caused by climate variability cannot be managed in the absence of climate information. Despite the use of various communication strategies by rural communities in Tanzania, access and use of agricultural information is inadequate to cope with challenges in crop production. This study aims at assessing farmers information needs, examine communication strategies used and hence recommend information and knowledge sharing strategies for improved decision making. In addition, the study examined how modern ICT used together with tradition methods can reduce risks and improve crop productivity of small-holder farmers. A cross-sectional research design and simple random sampling techniques were used for the study. Interviews using structured questionnaires and focus group discussion were conducted to collect primary data from farmers and extension workers.

CRISIL Research has come out with its report on Dewan Housing Finance Corporation. According to the research firm, the company has received the approval for merger with First Blue from Mumbai and Delhi courts. First Blue's book grew 4.2% q-o-q to Rs 67 bn with stable asset quality.
CRISIL Research has come out with its report on Dewan Housing Finance Corporation. According to the research firm, the company has received the approval for merger with First Blue from Mumbai and Delhi courts. First Blue's book grew 4.2% q-o-q to Rs 67 bn with stable asset quality.
Dewan Housing's Q3FY13 results were broadly in line with CRISIL Research's expectations. Consolidated book grew 5% q-o-q to Rs 310 bn. Standalone PAT grew 6.3% q-o-q to Rs 912 mn. Due to the challenging economic environment, the company witnessed asset quality pressures but it fully provided for default loans, leading to nil net NPAs (non-performing assets). We retain the fundamental grade of 4/5.
Loan book growth leads to higher processing fees and boosts operating income
Standalone book grew 4.7% q-o-q (up 31% y-o-y) to Rs 243 bn with 84% contribution from mortgage book (up 8% q-o-q to Rs 205 bn). Project loans increased 5% q-o-q while loans against property (LAP) declined 21% q-o-q. The company is well capitalised with a capital adequacy ratio of 16.5% and tier I capital of 11.5%.
Net interest income grew 4.6% q-o-q led by loan book growth and stable NIM of 2.87%.
NIM is stable as yields were intact q-o-q (despite yield pressure on prepayments) and borrowing cost was flat at 10.7%. Although third party distribution fees were muted, noninterest income increased 10.7% q-o-q to Rs 576 mn led by growth in processing fees.
Prepayment pressure and competition up in home loans
Though standalone disbursements were up 22% to Rs 30 mn, standalone loans grew 4.7% due to higher repayments / prepayments. To arrest prepayments, the company has faced yield pressure. Standalone sanctions grew 20% q-o-q to Rs 39 mn as expected.
Our channel checks suggest that competition in home loans has intensified from banks
as their corporate book is drying up and their focus is shifting to secured loans (page 4). Hence, we forecast yield pressure in our estimates for Dewan Housing. Its ability to combat competition will be a monitorable.
Fully provided for default loans, resulting in nil net NPAs
Dewan Housing has provision coverage ratio of 112% but it made provisions of Rs 150 mn (flat q-o-q) - higher than mandatory as a prudent provision measure. Conservative loan-to-cost of 65.5% and low instalment-to-income of 42% cushions against defaults. As a percentage of loan book, gross NPAs grew to 0.73% from 0.69% in Q2 in a challenging environment. Gross NPAs grew 11% q-o-q to Rs 1.8 bn but net NPAs were nil as gross NPAs are fully provided for.
First Blue Home Finance to get merged as courts give approval
Dewan Housing has received the approval for merger with First Blue from Mumbai and Delhi courts. First Blue's book grew 4.2% q-o-q to Rs 67 bn with stable asset quality (gross NPAs flat q-o-q at 0.8%). It reported RoE of 19.4% and RoA of 1.85% in 9MFY13.
Fair value raised to Rs 284 from Rs 276 per share
Though we lower our earnings estimates, our fair value estimate is raised to Rs 284 from Rs 276 per share (1.3x FY15E adjusted book value) as we roll forward our discounting year to FY15. At the current market price of Rs 190, our valuation grade is 5/5.

I've been bothering the developers at PopCap Games for months. "When will I be able to play Peggle on my iPhone?" I'd breathlessly pant while shoving my Apple-branded status symbol in the face of whoever was tasked with listening to my whining that day.
"Soon," they'd tell me. "Soon."
A tear would form on the edge of my eye, threatening to roll haphazardly down my reddened cheek, but my contact would have walked away by then, leaving me to morosely contemplate suicide as an alternative to the interminable wait.
And then one day (yesterday to be specific) the clouds rolled away, angels from the heavens blasted a resounding trumpet call and Peggle finally came to the iPhone.
I don't want to oversell it, but Jesus himself never crafted a better shoot-balls-at-pegs-to-appease-ironically-cartoonish-animals portable game. And even if he had, it would have been way more expensive than $5.

DANIELSVILLE - Jamey Rice could not fight back the tears any longer.

The Madison County running back scored two overtime touchdowns, including the game-winning 2-yarder in the second extra period, to defeat visiting Loganville 23-20 on Friday night.
Just a day removed from the death of cheerleader Jodi Torres, Madison County came out distraught - but also inspired - and overcame an early 10-point deficit to improve to 3-1 overall and 2-1 in Region 8-AAAA.
"As football games go, this is a huge win," Rice said. "But this does not take way the pain."
Rice and the rest of the Red Raiders got word of Torres' death late Thursday night. The well-loved cheerleader was killed in a car crash.
"By the time this game began, all of us were just flat numb (over the news)," Madison County coach Randell Owens said. "We got the news at 11 last night, and most of the guys were up half the night."
Obviously distracted early, the Red Raiders committed 10 penalties for 75 yards in the first half.
In the game's opening series, Madison County drove 36 yards on eight plays before quarterback Jarrod Owens fumbled on a handoff to Marcus Shivers.
The Red Devils responded with a nine-play, 66-yard drive that ended in Michael Sparks' 27-yard field goal. Following a Madison County three-and-out, the Red Devils drove back down the field and went ahead 10-0 on Drew Scheie's 3-yard run.
Madison County got on the scoreboard late in the first half when kicker Jack Orr booted through a 39-yard field goal to make it 10-3 at the half.
The Red Raiders tied it at 10 early in the fourth quarter when Owens tossed a 7-yard fade to Shivers in the right corner of the end zone. Owens connected with Shivers on the exact same play in the first half, only to see it negated by a holding penalty.
Madison County struck first in the first overtime when Rice drove through the Loganville defensive line from 1 yard out for a touchdown. The 17-10 lead was the Red Raiders' first of the night.
The Red Devils responded with a 5-yard touchdown run from running back Garett Vaughan.
Loganville (3-1, 2-1 in Region 8-AAAA) got the ball first in the second overtime. This time, the Red Devils could not make the 15-yard journey to the end zone. They settled for a Sparks field goal and a 20-17 lead.
Enter Rice.
Following a 14-yard end-around rush by Metric Shivers, Madison County had a first down at the Loganville 1-yard line. After Owens failed to sneak in the score, Rice pushed through again and ended the emotional evening.
"There was no way to prepare for this," Owens said. "We had some help from above to pull it out."
Torres was honored prior to Friday's game in a ceremony that featured an address by coach Owens, a prayer by junior tight end Caleb Cronic, a moment of silence and the lowering of the flag to half mast.
"We just got down on our knees and asked for a way to fight through," Owens said.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The wife of an ex-Vikings star appeared in court Thursday morning to face a second felony charge for a hit-and-run that killed a man.
Last fall, prosecutors charged Amy Senser with one count of criminal vehicular operation in the death of 38-year-old Anousone Phathavong.
On Monday, a second count was added because prosecutors say Senser did not contact police quickly enough. She admitted hitting Phathavong a week after the crash.
Senser appeared in a Hennepin County courtroom Thursday morning for only a few minutes. Several of the victim's relatives were in court Thursday, as well.
A judge did not let Senser enter a plea because her defense attorneys filed a new brief with the court. The judge needed time to review it before allowing her to enter the plea.
The attorney for Phanthavong's family says Senser's lack of cooperation is slowing down the process.
"We're disappointed in how Miss Senser has handled this. From what we can tell she's done the absolute minimum in cooperating with police and the investigation," said Jim Ballentine, the family's attorney.
The defendant's husband Joe Senser was with her in court Thursday morning. However, the couple was able to avoid the media. According to the Senser's attorney Eric Nelson, they were escorted out of the building through a private entrance.
This is extremely rare. Nearly everyone leaves through one of two exits.
But their attorney says it's because the family's been threatened and they're concerned about Amy Senser's safety.
Senser's attorney said we'll learn a lot more about the circumstances in this case in a few weeks.
Amy Senser is due back in court in March. The judge set a trial date for April.

Two new TV spots for Ryan Reynold's "The Green Lantern". Granted, they're not nearly as awesome as the four-minute WonderCon footage, and mostly they just re-use the stuff we've already seen, but still worth a gander. The first spot, curiously enough, reuses the siren beats from Michael Bay's "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" Superbowl spot if you can believe it, while the second TV spot features more of Blake Lively as Carol Ferris, GL's love interest.
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan. Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.
Starring Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Temuera Morrison, Jenna Craig, Jon Tenney, Tim Robbins, Angela Bassett, Taika Cohen, Jeff Wolfe and directed by Martin Campbell.

Good one, Chickie. Thanks, Jan. And this cow is real friendly because she is separated from the others and they feed her 'special stuff'. Probably to increase her weight so I expected she will be leaving soon.
A wonderful picture! If you slowly went over to the fence would she run away?
Love it JC!
It's no Bullwinckle either.
Thanks, Pat. Sue says my humor is an "acquired taste" or something similar. LOL!

Meet these Santana High School students — and Shaqbot — in St. Louis.
The school's Engineering and Robotics Club, winners of the Rookie All-Star Award at last month's three-day San Diego Regional FIRST Robotics Competition at Valley View Casino Center, is headed for the world championships in Missouri this week with its 36-inch by 32-inch mini basketball shooting robot the team named after Shaquille O'Neal.
Team 3965's motto: "Just like Shaq, we don't shoot, but we can lay it up."
Six other San Diego County schools will send teams: Madison, San Diego High Tech, Poway, San Pasqual, San Dieguito and Canyon Crest.
Fifteen Santana students worked with professional mentors and engineers since January, using a kit and standardized rules to design and build a robot in less than two months. This year's FIRST game was called "Rebound Rumble," in which robots were involved in a basketball-style game in which they shot into a trio of small hoops along a flat, 27-foot by 54-foot field.
Fifty-six teams competed in the event locally, including a dozen rookie teams in it for the first time like Santana. The Sultans were in 10 qualifying matches and finished 17th overall, taking top status for rookies.
"This was the first time for Santana," said the team's leader, Jon Karanopoulos, in his first year teaching at Santana after 15 years at San Diego High. "We have some extremely bright kids here in Santee. A lot of engineers live in this area. Parents of some of these kids work at SAIC and Qualcomm. This is turning into a little secret powerhouse in the East County."
One Santana senior, six juniors, four sophomores and four freshmen are flying out to the event, which will go from Wednesday to Saturday at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. It is among three robotics competitions for what backers call "the ultimate sport for the mind."
FIRST is a 20-year-old not-for-profit organization that encourages kids to develop passion for science, engineering, technology and math. Its website notes that the current season has attracted nearly 300,000 youths and more than 100,000 mentors, coaches and volunteers from more than 60 countries. All students participating in FIRST are eligible to apply for more than $14 million dollars in scholarships from both colleges and companies.
In Santee, fundraisers, a state grant of $2,500 and donations will pay for the students' trips. Among the donors: A person who wished to remain anonymous contributed $10,000, SAIC donated $2,000, JC Penney $6,500, and Qualcomm $3,000.
"We didn't use all of the money, some will be used for next year; we want to be self-sustaining," Karanopoulos said.
He said the idea behind the robot competition is to expose students to ideas and to help them make better decisions.
"The majority of these kids have a 4.2 grade-point average and above," Karanopoulos said. "They are bright. And they are on the swim team, the water polo team. They're fantastic kids. They are what you want your kids to be. You ask for something to get done and it gets done."

The future looks bright for the Division as it enters its 50th year. It appears that we will begin the 2012–2013 Bar Year as the third-largest Division or Section in the American Bar Association. This is quite an accomplishment, and it is the result in large part to all 50 of my predecessors who have paved the way, and in particular to our current Chair, Laura V. Farber. As a result of their hard work, initiative, and foresight, the stature and good works of the Division have grown. We will continue to build on these successes. As I prepare to take the helm, I want thank all my predecessors, the member volunteers, and the staff for sharing their talent, energy, and leadership in helping the Division come one step closer to becoming the premier national organization for solo and small firm practitioners. With everyone's help, we can transform this vision into reality in the years ahead, beginning in 2012–2013.
So, what's ahead for the coming Bar Year? We will "Think Forward!" What does this mean? It means we will embrace and drive change. We will be passionate and determined. We will think outside the box. We will be creative and open-minded. We will connect with our members. It means that in our continuing efforts to provide our members valuable benefits to help them become better practitioners and make the profession better, we will take time to strategically reflect on who we are as a Division. To this end, I have asked the Long Range Planning Committee to go beyond dusting off our three-year plan and really look into developing a strategic vision, mission, and objectives that will position our Division to effectively serve our members and be their voice in the profession.
The focus areas for the upcoming year may best be described as the 4Gs:
- Grow the Division. We will continue to find ways to recruit and retain members by demonstrating the value of GPSolo membership. We will examine who we are, what we do, and what we can do better to serve our members, including taking a hard look at our organizational structure.
- Grow Better Lawyers. Building on our efforts in 2011–2012, we will continue to innovate how we deliver relevant and useful content to improve the practices and businesses of our members, whether it's through our monthly CLEs or our award-winning publications. We will transform our annual National Solo & Small Firm Conference into the country's premier forum for solo and small firm practitioners, where they will be educated, inspired, and empowered. In particular, the Conference will focus on programming that assists young and especially new solos to build a successful practice.
- Grow Partnerships. We can't do it alone; we need partners in order to succeed. We will strengthen our relationships with all the Sections in the ABA and as a Division fulfill our role as a portal for them. We will establish formal and sustained relations with state and local bar associations that have solo and small firm sections. We will continue our outreach and collaboration with the national minority bar associations: Hispanic National Bar Association, National Asian Pacific American Bar Association, National Bar Association, and National Native American Bar Association.
- Grow the Profession. As lawyers, it's in our DNA to want to make a difference not only for our clients but for our profession and our community. In collaboration with the ABA Leadership Coalition for Solo and Small Firm Lawyers and the ABA Standing Committee on Amicus Curiae Briefs, we will be more engaged in advocating the position of our members on issues affecting their practices. We will continue to devote our efforts in promoting the Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) project and train attorneys and advocates, with a special emphasis this year on those representing human trafficking victims. Additionally, we will actively promote and support the ABA Military Pro Bono Project, and at our National Solo & Small Firm Conference this fall in Seattle, Washington, we will convene a roundtable on meeting the legal needs of military families and youth.
When we think forward, we invest not only in the future of the Division and the ABA, but in the future of the legal profession. On behalf of my fellow officers Jennifer A. Rymell, Amy Lin Meyerson, Kathleen J. Hopkins, Joseph A. DeWoskin, and Laura V. Farber, I invite you to join us on this journey today!

In less than a month, our favorite dysfunctional couple makes their return. Entwined with You, the third book of Sylvia Day's Crossfire series, will be released on June 4th. Entwined with You is highly anticipated in that the ending of Reflected in You left us reeling. As we patiently wait for release date to get here, I've been thinking about what I want to see happen with Gideon and Eva. I love them because they are so dysfunctional but I also hate the dysfunction—if that makes any sense.
Now that the Crossfire series will consist of 5 books instead of 3, what do we want to see/not see in the next 3 books?
• Co-dependency—Gideon is SO dependent on Eva for everything. He wants to be with her 24/7 and she allows this. There are times where Eva puts her foot down and tells Gideon to go away, but she inevitably gives in. Their relationship is already unhealthy with both of them having abuse issues so adding clinginess isn't going to make it any healthier.
• More information about Gideon's past—The story is told from Eva's first person POV so we are not privy to Gideon's inner thoughts. Bared to You provided some insight to Gideon's past and what possible abuse he suffered but I need more! I don't think I will full be Team Gideon until I find out what he has been through and why he's such a crazy, yet sexy, stalker!
• More communication, less sex—The sex scenes in this series are HOT! BUT Gideon and Eva use sex to 'fix' their relationship when there's conflict. I'm tired of them using sex to fix things. Their relationship is never going to get better if they continue to do this.
• Eva needs to grow some balls—She needs to stand firm when Gideon bulldozes her with his high-handed ways. She half-asses it and it really frustrated me in Reflected in You. She's taking Krav Maga for self-defense. She needs self-defense (emotionally) to protect herself from Gideon's manipulation.
• Maturity—Gideon and Eva need to grow up. The games they play are exhausting. It's amazing how Gideon is this amazing businessman but resorts to an adolescent when he doesn't get his way.
• Cary—Eva's roommate and best friend, I need him to get HIS life together. Eva is surrounded by dysfunction (the only stable person in her life is her boss), so I need Cary to straighten up. Eva can't help him and bail him out while she's dealing with her own issues.
• Eva's dad—I want him to find out what happened to Eva when she was a kid. I think by him knowing, it will help Eva heal and the burdened of keeping this secret from her father will be lifted.
• Eva's mom—She needs to go to therapy with Eva. Maybe then she'll cut the umbilical cord, relieve herself of the guilt and let Eva live her life.
• Gideon's little sister Ireland—She obviously loves her big brother and wants a relationship with him. By staying away from his family, Gideon is hurting Ireland. He has taken baby steps towards being in Ireland's life. I want to see Gideon continue to be a brother to Ireland.
• Progression, progression, progression—The relationship needs to progress! I'm hoping Entwined with You doesn't start the day after Reflected in You ended. As much as the jealousy and dysfunction is highly entertaining, I think at this point, there needs to be progression in the relationship and the characters. I don't want the recycled jealousy, rage, whininess, and possessive manipulation that have been the basis of Eva and Gideon since book one.
What makes this series so addictive is the fact that the characters are a hot mess. Gideon and Eva are dysfunction at its best. You think it's best if they break up but then you think, you don't want to make someone else suffer having to deal with all that crazy. The Crossfire Series is cracktastic but I need some growth in the next three books in order to fully root for Gideon, Eva and their HEA.

WikiLeaks Haiti Cables Paint Stark Picture of U.S. Priorities
In 1,918 new cables released by WikiLeaks, the United States' relationship to Haiti is laid bare—the maneuvering, the pressure, and the arrogance. The Nationis partnering with the Haitian weekly newspaper Haïti Libertéto produce several reports based on these cables, illuminating some of the many facets of this complex geopolitical struggle.
In the two pieces published today, journalists dig into Big Oil's losing fight in Haiti and the U.S. state department's support for sweatshop wages in the Haitian textile factories.
Despite acknowledgement of Haiti's "desperate" situation, the U.S. government, along with oil companies ExxonMobil and Texaco/Chevron, tried to sabotage a deal for Haiti to join Venezuela's oil alliance, PetroCaribe, and receive Venezuelan oil at lowered prices. The deal would've laid groundwork for Haitian energy independence—something the U.S. didn't want.
Meanwhile, contractors for companies like Fruit of the Loom, Hanes and Levi's fought aggressively against a raise to 62 cents an hour—or $5 a day—for factory workers. And they had the backing of the State Department, which argued for intervention by President Rene Preval in favor of the factory owners' preferred wage, just $3 a day.
Greg Mitchellnotes that WikiLeaks' new strategy of partnering with disparate media outlets around the globe has made headline news in many countries but seen those same stories ignored here at home. The Nation hopes to bring some focus to the Haiti story with these reports, which will keep coming over the next few weeks.

XBMC 12 Frodo Review – One HTPC to rule them all
When XBMC 11 came out last year, it was the first release of the HTPC software after Boxee decided to exit the market that they themselves helped to build. This release of XBMC may have contained few new additions to the overall system, but it served as a reminder of Boxee's own roots as an XBMC fork, and that XBMC was still a great piece of software. Since then we've had the release of the Raspberry Pi, and thanks to distros like RaspBMC and OpenELEC working on the mini-computer, XBMC has come back into the limelight as the open source media centre of choice.
Now we finally have the release of XBMC 12, and this time there's a lot of new functionality in the release. While there's the minor codec updates such as Hi10p/10-bit video playback (somewhat important for those keeping up with anime), the major changes come in the form of specific Raspberry Pi support and Live TV/PVR functionality. If you've been using the aforementioned RPi distros, you've already been using some of the compatibility code from the development versions, however the final version makes it easier for anyone to use it.

Supporters, foes debate marijuana initiative
If there's one thing Washington state residents can agree on when it comes to marijuana it's this: Marijuana regulation is hazy, at best.
However, a panel of law enforcement and public health experts was divided in how to clarify, or fix, regulation in a debate held April 26 at Mukilteo City Hall on Initiative 502, which would regulate and tax marijuana similarly to liquor. About 70 people attended the debate.
John McKay, a sponsor of the initiative, said that after serving as a U.S. attorney in Seattle for several years, he sees marijuana legalization as a better solution to the "complete failure" of prohibition. He said marijuana prohibition has not only failed – it's dangerous.
"Mexican drug cartels and other gangs… are profiting from this marijuana black market created by our failed policy on prohibition," he said. "It's directly related to killings, to death, to the use of those funds to manufacture seriously dangerous drugs.
"If we're going to attack this black market, we have to change the way that we look at it."
The state Liquor Control Board and Department of Revenue – which would license and regulate marijuana under I-502 – estimate that if the initiative passes, the state would make $2 billion in tax revenue by 2018, according to a recent fiscal note.
"Let's capture the tax benefits and use the funds to teach young people of the risks of marijuana," McKay said.
Pat Slack, commander of the Snohomish County Regional Task Force, disagreed with McKay's argument that regulating marijuana would end the black market.
"If you create a sin tax, you're still going to create a black market," he said. "We're still going to have people out there producing it and selling it for less than what the government does."
His greatest concern – although he is concerned that law enforcement will continue to waste its time and taxpayers dollars with I-502 – is the "young people" McKay said the initiative would help.
He said marijuana is the most abused drug in local high schools and that, if this initiative passes, it will only become more available to kids.
"Those kids are our future," Slack said. "We can't control our demand, so we legalize it? If we can't control prostitution, do we legalize it? If we're giving up on the battle, we're giving up on our youth."
I-502 removes state criminal and civil penalties for the possession, sale and cultivation of marijuana. It would tax marijuana sales and set a legal driving limit of 5 nanograms of THC – the main active chemical compound – in the bloodstream.
Under the initiative, residents 21 years and older could buy up to an ounce of dried marijuana, one pound of marijuana-infused food, such as brownies, or 72 ounces of marijuana-infused drinks, such as tea.
Marijuana is an illegal drug under federal law. Currently in Washington state, it is a misdemeanor to possess 40 grams or less of marijuana.
Washington's initiative was the first in the nation to be approved. Colorado is the only other state with an initiative to legalize marijuana on its November ballot. No state has fully legalized marijuana.
Joining McKay in support of I-502 was Roger Roffman, a professor of social work and marijuana researcher at the University of Washington. Also debating the cons of I-502 with Slack was Jim Teverbaugh of the Snohomish County Health and Safety Network.
"We know that prohibition is not working well enough for three key factors," Roffman said.
"One of them is the number of people who go astray and get derailed from healthy development, a second is the ease of access that young people acknowledge that they have, and a third is the gross amount of misinformation of marijuana and under acknowledgement of its risks."

All families are creating traditions and rituals even without trying. Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving all lend themselves to family traditions, so you may as well be intentional about it. Even going to a family baby shower can be a great time to establish a special tradition.
Children are great at remembering what the family did last year and they want to do it again and again. So setting a plate of cookies out for Santa becomes a "have to" in some families, just as making name place markers for the Thanksgiving meal may be a ritual embraced by another family. The grown ups enjoy keeping important traditions also.
When there is a family baby shower coming up it is wonderful to have a unique gift that has become your personal tradition to provide. The adorable and practical Diaper Cakes here at Doodlebuckets would make the perfect traditional baby shower gift!
Another great gift to present again and again are the great personalized blankets and bib sets at Doodlebuckets. There are also gift baskets with baby's first spoon and dish set.
Now that most families want to know the sex of the coming baby, there are lots of fun and creative ways to announce the gender to the family. What better way to let everyone know if they are welcoming a baby boy or a baby girl than to deliver a huge pink or blue filled baby gift basket?
It would be a crazy and long anticipated tradition to gather your family and make the "big reveal" by uncovering one of Doodlebuckets' huge themed baby gift baskets designed for boys or girls!
