NEW ORLEANS — At a national meeting of psychologists earlier this month, an audience packed the hall for a presentation on "Facebook: Friend or Foe? Effects of Online Social Networks on Close Relationships."
Several researchers from different universities presented findings, often surprising, about the ubiquitous Facebook lives so many people lead.
In October last year, Mark Zuckerberg, who established Facebook in 2004, announced that the social networking site had reached one billion users.
"Facebook's mission is to make the world open and connected," according to the social networking site.
Research shows that can be good and not so good.
Studies about Facebook were recently presented in a series of preconference meetings leading up to the annual meeting of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, held in New Orleans Jan. 17-19.
One group of researchers looked into whether a high disclosure of one's life online would have a negative effect on one's real-life romantic relationship.
And that was exactly the case, researchers said they learned through several studies.
One study found that higher online disclosure was a distinct downer on romantic relationships, but didn't bother friendships.
Another study that presented participants with two mock Facebook pages found the same negative effect on romance.
Study volunteers, looking at the fake Facebook pages, were told to "Try to imagine the following Facebook 'wall' is your partner's," said Juwon Lee, of the University of Kansas.
On one mock Facebook page, postings were innocuous — "I like beer!"
The postings on the second Facebook page were a bit more personal — "Pretty interesting training at work today."
It didn't matter if the postings were about the romantic partner or the relationship, if the viewer "perceived their partner revealing a lot, it lowers intimacy and satisfaction," Lee said.
"It would be better to be more discreet for your romance," she said.
Another study looked at how displaying one's relationship on Facebook affects that relationship.
Camilla Overup, of the University of Houston, began her presentation by showing her own Facebook page that featured a picture of her and her boyfriend, arm in arm, smiling.
She and fellow researchers undertook a study of 193 students, who had been in a relationship with the same person for about two years.
One telling result that showed up was that people who don't care much about what people, in general, think about them were made happier when their partner posted about their relationship together.
"They're more concerned about what their partner posts. They tend to think more about what this means for the relationship," Overup said.
On the other hand, people who are very concerned with their image in the broad Facebook world can be happy in their relationship, whether or not their partner posts about it.
It seems to be that their "focus is on the self and one's own behavior," Overup said.
The final speaker in the Facebook presentation, Diane Felmlee, of Pennsylvania State University, addressed the darker side of Facebook.
"Toxic Ties: A Social Network Analysis of School Cyber Aggression" was the name of the study Felmlee undertook with Robert Faris, of the University of California, Davis.
Today's Internet and phone texting technologies have unfortunately "provided a new way for youth to harass school mates," Felmlee said.
The study looked at the incidence of cyberagression at an elite prep school in Long Island and included 800 students, in the eighth through 12th grades.
The grim incidents of cyber-agression that researchers found among the students included Facebook identity theft, posting humiliating photos, texting mean and vicious rumors, a posting of a boy physically abusing his girlfriend, and someone pretending to befriend a lonely person, Felmlee said.
The study found that girls and gays are the most likely to be victimized, with gays being the group most likely to be affected.
Curiously, it was students who were most active in the various peer networks who "were more likely to be victimized," she said.
And much of the aggression came from former friends and romantic partners or rivals for romantic partners, Felmlee said.
Only highly popular young people seem to be protected from such cyberaggression, she said.
Victim and aggressor "are often located in the same social circles," Felmlee said.
The people who students become closest to know best how to hurt them, she said.
"One of the tragedies (of cyberaggression) is that young people are often harmed most by those to whom they are most closely and deeply connected," Felmlee said.

ISLAMABAD: In view of the enlarging magnitude of disaster caused by heavy rainfall and flash floods in Sindh, the government has decided in principle to launch an international appeal to cope with the enormous challenges it faces in providing relief to the affected people.
Official sources told Dawn on Wednesday that incessant rains were making the calamity worse. And an imminent resource gap had forced the authorities to think in terms of seeking international help.
They said a formal appeal was likely to be made within the next three days.
National Disaster Management Authority chairman Zafar Qadir said at a press conference that Mitthi area in Tharparkar district alone had received a rainfall of 300mm in 12 hours, posing a threat to the adjacent areas. Badin district also received considerable rainfall on Tuesday.
"The situation is alarming. It is an enormous challenge as the physical infrastructure to manage the draining of water has totally collapsed," he said.
He said the "de-watering" pumps had become useless because there was no dry patch to pump the water to. He said the absence of slopes had also made things difficult. Mr Qadir said a joint assessment team of the United Nations and NDMA would be going to the rain-affected areas to meet major stakeholders, including political leaders, lawmakers and social activists. The team would find out what sort of state intervention was required.
He said that in view of the gravity of the situation, extensive deliberations on the political and diplomatic fronts were taking place. He said a meeting between representatives of the economic affairs division and the UN officials took place on Wednesday.
Answering a question, the NDMA chief said that up to five million people had been affected and some 130,000 people were currently living in tents. He conceded that there were people living under open skies but said their number was negligible. He said these people were not ready to be evacuated to safe places.
Mr Qadir said there was no food shortage in the affected areas. He said besides utilising the full capacity of the Utility Stores Corporation and Canteen Stores Department the NDMA had started procuring 30,000 ration bags from private vendors and even striving to further boost the procurement drive.
He said the number of tents sent so far to the affected areas by the NDMA alone was 43,000 and another 18000 were in the pipeline. The NDMA chief said there were no complaints regarding distribution of tents among the rain-hit people. He also rejected the criticism over the alleged lack of preparedness on the part of the NDMA to deal with the calamity.

Childress-Parker Families F112 Copyright © 1990
The following sketch of James Childress, a citizen of Rusk County from 1845/1862, was excerpted from the book entitled Family Affair by Jimmie Ruth Childress Mounger.
James Childress descended from the Childers-Childress line of York, England. Born on a plant ation in upcountry South Carolina in 1802, James was removed by oxen drawn wagon to the newl y acquired Mississippi Territory, when his father and mother sought frontier pastures. He gre w up in what became Madison County, Alabama, and when Marshall County was carved out of Madis on in 1836, James became the County's first Commissioner of Roads, a Justice of the Peace, Post Master of Warrenton, Alabama, and one of the organizers of the new countyâ�¬™s first election . James' first love was his land and after his father died, he assumed the duties of his father 's plantation, with his mother's guidance, and married Sarah Parker. James appears to have gotten the fever of going west. He began by divesting his political re sponsibilities and his land for the move to Texas. The question naturally arises: Why thismo ve? The History of Marshall County renders one telling clue when it quotesan early citizen , "the jail is easier to get out of than to get into.â�¬ If Texas was also rugged, the famil y of James and Sarah Childress wouldsoon find out, for they landed in Rusk County in 1845, a nd began adapting to its culture by acquiring 320 acres of Texas farmland.
The Federal census of Rusk County in 1850 lists James and Sarah Parker Childress and their ch ildren,Sarah Jane, Rufus Green, Mary Agnes, Margaret, Frances, and Andrew John. Threeof their children listed in the 1840 census of Alabama, are not shown. Included in the 1850 census next to the Childress family are the members of the JamesSmith a nd Hannah Parker Smith family and their children: Wm. Jasper, Marian,and Bert.
That year and the following, marriage records reveal that Mary Agnes Childress was married t o Isaac Newton Smith, and Sarah Jane Childress was married to Wm. Jasper Smith.
At this point, it is necessary to make use of anold family story told by Fannie Childress, t he granddaughter of James and Sarah Parker Childress. She made this statement: "You are bloo d kin to Cynthia Ann Parkerâ€. After learning that my great grandfather married SarahParker , the answer struck home: Kin through you great grandmother, Sarah Parker; and today Cynthi a Ann's star shines down in spirit upon her descendants, in spite of her tragic life and th e strange circumstances of her Parkercousins.
The tragedy of Cynthia Ann's kidnapping by the redskins in 1836, was not ameliorated when th e Texas Rangers recaptured her after she had lived with her kidnappers, married their chief , produced his offspring, and virtually forgotten her white parentage. It had to have touche d the Parker and Childress descendants acutely, for among the Texas Rangers rescuing her tha t day was Sarah Parker Childress' son, Ruffus Green Childress, at the age ofsixteen. Cynthi a Ann went to an early grave gr

On November 27, 2007, the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit upheld a district court's dismissal of a lawsuit brought by illegal immigrant detainees over their transfer from Massachusetts to Texas holding centers following a factory raid in which 360 people were arrested. The plaintiffs had claimed that immigration officials had "violated ... petitioners' constitutional and statutory rights, including: (i) the right to be free from arbitrary, prolonged, and indefinite detention; (ii) the right to a prompt bond hearing ... ; (iii) the right to counsel; and (iv) the right of family integrity." The district court dismissed the lawsuit, finding that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the case. The First Circuit upheld the dismissal, but on the grounds that the plaintiffs had failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.

Around the county in 30 days
A daily spring preview of every football program in the county.
Tampa Bay Tech
Coach: C.C. Culpepper (second season, 6-4)
Last season: 6-4 (1-3 in district)
District: 4A-11 (Armwood, Freedom, Hillsborough, Middleton)
Key losses: WR/K Ryan Barnes, DL Antonio Hayes, OL Patrick Smoot, LB Delon Thomas, QB Mario Tucker
Who's back: OL Jordan Dean, OL Markeil Floyd, RB Maurice Hagens, WR C.J. Jackson, DB D.D. Johnson, LB Sam Jones, LB Marquise Mulkey, DB Jerome Speights, WB/DB Antonio Wallace
What's new: A winning attitude. The Titans entered the 2007 season with a 21-game losing streak. Now, people inside the program think TBT is ready to compete for a playoff spot. Participation during offseason weight training has been excellent. Last year, a typical day saw 50 athletes attend. This year, 85 to 90 regularly show up. Culpepper hopes the boost in numbers and conditioning will pay big dividends during the fall. It helps that the Titans appear to have lots of talent. TBT returns several quality players, but Hagens, a bruising junior fullback, might be the headliner. Only 15, he already has scholarship offers from LSU and Tennessee. Hagens rushed for 1,500-plus yards in 2007, and because TBT has a solid line, those stats could go up. A versatile player who is one of the county's fastest athletes, Wallace is another Titan to watch. He's not only a standout defensive back, but he plays multiple positions on offense and arguably is the top return man around.
Audible: "I like the way we're pulling together. Everybody knows how important it is to be working out during the offseason and being on the same page going into the regular season. Because of the district we play in, we've got to be on top of our game every night. We're probably in the toughest district in 4A." — Culpepper
Did you know? When Armwood won state titles in 2003 and '04, Culpepper was the Hawks' secondary coach.

Fall color is peaking now on the deciduous trees and shrubs that color up in our area, adding great appeal to our autumn gardens. Individual plants can be stunners, and when massed, cause passers-by to slam on their brakes for a second look. However, there are some tricks to making those brilliantly colored leaves show-stoppers -- they don't necessarily display to perfection unless the background is right.
If you pay close attention, you'll notice that the colors are much more vibrant when displayed against a background of dark evergreens. If you are choosing plants to give you those autumn hues, consider where you might site them to best effect, and what you might plant around them to act as the backdrop.
If your garden is sunny, you can choose for background plants needled evergreens such as spruce, pine, cedar or cypress. If your garden is shady, fewer needled evergreens will thrive, though hemlock, yew and most false cedars will perform well. (Redwoods and Douglas firs will of course thrive but are soon too large for most gardens.) Many broadleaf evergreens will also work well, especially in bright shade or dappled light: holly, privet, Italian buckthorn, oleander, camellia and pittosporum are some of the tough, drought-tolerant and easy care possibilities. These plants are multitaskers, providing reliable green foliage throughout the year, adding structure and permanence to your garden design, giving you privacy and attracting birds by providing shelter and in some cases, food. Many of them even produce gorgeous flowers. In moist areas, among the best broad-leaved evergreen shrubs are rhododendrons and azaleas; their leaves and form are beautiful and their spring or summer blooms are unsurpassed.
The nurseries have received their fall stock of rhododendrons, with selection equal to spring shipments. While rhodys aren't considered bullet-proof in our climate, if their few specific needs are met, they are reliable shrubs. They require consistently moist but freely draining soil on the acid side, and protection from midday and early afternoon sun in summer. They have very shallow root systems, and definitely benefit from mulch spread over their root zones. As mulch and as a soil amendment, use any acid natural material, such as composted redwood or hardwood bark, pine needles, shredded oak or maple leaves. Many nurseries sell bagged compost specifically formulated for acid-loving shrubs and trees -- ask at your favorite garden center if you don't see it. Also ask your nursery person about selecting rhododendrons appropriate for your site. They come in many sizes, flower colors and sun/shade preferences. And good news for those who garden in deer country: rhododendrons usually do not appeal to those hungry herbivores.
Like roses, iris and other truly beautiful plants, rhododendrons inspire devotion to the point that an international association, the American Rhododendron Society, has attracted thousands of members. Saturday, the Monterey Bay chapter is offering an opportunity to create your own rhododendrons from cuttings, provided by the chapter, at a free propagation workshop. At 10 a.m. at ProBuild Garden Center, 235 River St. in Santa Cruz, experienced members will demonstrate the process and will be available to answer your questions about growing rhododendrons and about membership in the chapter. Contact them at firstname.lastname@example.com or 408-920-0884. For questions about the workshop, contact ProBuild at 423-0223.

Patting themselves and others on the back for progress made over the last six years in the city schools, Mayor Nutter and Gov. Rendell nevertheless announced that it was time for a change in the leadership of the School Reform Commission.
At a Saturday press conference held at School of the Future, the mayor and governor unveiled their new appointees – chair Robert Archie, a distinguished attorney and Philadelphia public school graduate; Joseph Dworetzky, a former city solicitor; and Johnny Irizarry, a community activist and director of the Center for Hispanic Excellence at the University of Pennsylvania. Gov. Rendell re-appointed Heidi Ramirez, whom he first named in 2007 to fill an unexpired term.
Archie and Irizarry, appointed by Nutter, will be able to take their seats at the April board meeting, in time to make important decisions regarding Superintendent Arlene Ackerman's strategic plan, called Imagine 2014, and the School District's 2009-10 budget – which will have more than $325 million in additional funds due largely to the federal stimulus money and the governor's plan for distributing it.
Dworetzky and Ramirez, Rendell's appointees, require confirmation by the state Senate, a process that often takes months. But Ramirez can continue to serve in the interim. Only Dworetzky's seating will be delayed.
Chairwoman Sandra Dungee Glenn and commissioner Martin Bednarek, whose terms expired, were not reappointed. Rendell announced that he was appointing Dungee Glenn, whom he praised lavishly, to the State Board of Education. The fifth - and now the senior - member of the SRC, Denise McGregor Armbrister, has served for two years on the body, which was created in 2001 after the state took over the city schools.
Reconfiguring the commission's membership, which was done entirely behind closed doors, took months of negotiation between the mayor and governor. They both said that it was because they were busy with other things, but the process is one of the least transparent in the city and the subject of intense political jockeying. In other Pennsylvania school districts, the boards of education are elected.
While community activists and others who attended the announcement seemed happy with the quality of the new appointees, others said the process itself still leaves a lot to be desired.
"Even if they are good people, they deserve a better process than they got," said Helen Gym, a founder of Parents United for Public Education. "The governor and the mayor had a unique opportunity to show that the SRC had a chance to shed its political vestiges and instead they reverted back to the same backdoor political jockeying that reinforces the disconnect between the public and the leadership of the School District."
With many controversial decisions in the offing, including what to prioritize among the elements of the 30-page laundry list of initiatives in Imagine 2014, the public really has little sense of exactly what the role of the SRC should be and how deeply it should delve into details while setting policy. While there have been community meetings around town on the plan, there is still little sense of how the input will affect the final product.
Lori Shorr, Mayor Nutter's chief education officer, said that there are plans to orient the new members with a "serious on-boarding process, to go over all sorts of things, what's the role of the SRC, all of this.
"If they understand their roles, they can focus their energies," Shorr said. She acknowledged that the SRC and the District's operations need to align their processes for community engagement and function less like two parallel organizations.
Nutter said that he regarded the SRC as a "policy-making body within broad parameters," while the superintendent does "day to day management" and "implementation." Nutter said that he had been briefed on Imagine 2014 and said it has "some exciting, dynamic elements," but that flexibility would be key to real change.
Both Nutter and Rendell said that he notwithstanding the SRC's accomplishments, it was time for a change in leadership.
"It's no reflection on Sandra or Marty (Bednarek)," said Nutter. "I looked around and decided it was time for a change and putting in my own appointments."
Rendell said that he felt the new members were better positioned to work more closely with the business community, which he said is crucial to improving the system.
"We wanted a fresh look," he said.
Archie is a partner at Duane Morris, LLP and has worked primarily in municipal finance, real estate and corporate law for nonprofit corporations. A resident of Mount Airy, he has represented both the city and School District in the past.
He said he will resign from the board of the Universal Institute Charter School and possibly from the board of trustees at Lincoln University, his alma mater. "I have an obligation to give back," he said in explaining why he agreed to take on what some consider a thankless job.
Dworetzky said he expected the position to be "overwhelming." As city solicitor when Rendell was mayor, he represented Philadelphia in the long-running school desegregation case, which in the mid-1990s had devolved into a case about providing more resources to racially isolated schools. Commonwealth Court Judge Doris Smith had ordered all kinds of reforms and programs, and the state and city tussled over who should foot the bill. Dworetzky argued that under the state constitution to provide all children with a "thorough and efficient" education, it was Harrisburg's responsibility. Smith agreed, but higher courts removed her jurisdiction in the case.
Irizarry, who grew up in East Harlem and said he entered kindergarten not speaking a word of English, said that "education is my passion." He holds a Master's Degree in Urban Education from Temple and worked as a curriculum developer for the School District.
A former nonprofit executive director and official in two charter schools that primarily serve the Latino community, Irizarry said he wanted to study more closely Ackerman's plans for turning over some low-performing schools to charter management organizations or other entities for "turnaround."
"I want to see what's really being proposed," he said.

hi tim,this is a great read and gives hope to many people with a disability, some great ideas here,
hopefully this recession wont render them to the dust shelves regards paul----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Culhane" <tim.culhane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
To: <vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 13, 2009 1:27 PM Subject: [vicsireland] Designers address challenge of getting from A to B From Today's Irish Times. Engineering and designer teams were challenged to come up with ideas to allow disabled people to get around Dublin city, writes JOHN REYNOLDS STRONG COFFEE, intense collaboration and a wide range of ideas and opinions fuelled Dublin's first 24-hour Universal Design Challenge last Friday and Saturday, and the capital's streets might soon become a little easier to navigate as a result. Five diverse teams of web and product designers, architects, engineers, design students and partners discovered that the city presents a surprising number of obstacles to those with disabilities who are simply trying to get from A to B. They were presented with a design brief last Friday morning and asked to examine various routes in the city centre, several of which took in the Millennium, Ha'penny and Grattan Bridges, then to design something that would make the route, environment, space or journey more accessible. Urged by renowned British designer Michael Wolff - who has worked on branding and logos for Audi, Apple Records, BP, British Airways and the Labour Party - not to plagiarise from other designs or imitate them, challenge organiser Julia Cassim also spoke about the growing market for products for people over the age of 50. "In western Europe, spending by the over-50s has increased three times faster than spending by the under-50s during the past 20 years. Thirty per cent of Japan's population will be over 65 by 2030. "Disabled people are another key group because, by understanding the extreme, you can innovate for the mainstream. If you can address the requirements of these two groups of people, universal design principles dictate that you can create something that can be used by everyone, regardless of their age, size or ability," she said. With these guidelines in mind, the overall winner of the challenge was What A Load of Bollards, a simple but effective mapping system designed with the needs of the visually impaired in mind. The system consists of a navigation unit that sits on top of the ordinary bollards that are found in many of the capital's streets with arrows that point in the direction of well-known landmarks such as St Stephen's Green, Connolly station and the Guinness Storehouse. It features a slider that revolves around the unit and increases the size of the text displaying directions to the landmarks, a backlit display for night-time use and a button that can be pressed to activate spoken directions as well. Led by architect and PAC Studio director Peter Crowley, the design team suggested that bollards be coated in rubber to reduce injury in the event of a visually impaired person colliding with them and suggested that they be painted in a fluorescent colour for the same reason. Bollards could also be painted in order to show a route that users could follow. Justin Knecht, programme manager at Sligo IT's Centre for Design Innovation, led the team which won the People's Choice Award. With the help of their visually disabled partner Genny Carraro and their experience of walking with her along Abbey Street between Capel Street and Liffey Street, they designed a navigation system based on the route with the least obstacles for someone with a disability. The system consists of a website, where registered users would record the routes they found easiest to travel, and it could also make full use of the navigation capabilities of many mobile phones. Silicon Valley native Chris Kurjan, a co-founder of consultancy Innovation Delivery, who has worked on innovation systems with BMW, Pepsi and Procter Gamble, led a team who designed Green Leaf, a logo-based signposting system for highlighting how accessible a location is for wheelchair users. The information would also be accessible via a website, public information points and through mobile phones. A fourth team led by architect Viktoria Kavanagh designed Ground Control, an illuminated plate attached to the footpath that houses a spring-activated button, which in turn activates traffic light buttons, wheelchair ramps or requests a bus to stop by sending a radio frequency signal. The team of design consultant and NCAD industrial design lecturer Frank Long faced what initially seemed like an impossible challenge in coming up with an idea, given that their design partner Nick Corish (85), a former school principal now working in outdoor education - and who enjoys windsurfing and rock-climbing in his spare time - lacked any obvious problems in getting around the city centre. After learning about his wife, Pheny, who suffers from osteoperosis, and on hearing a tale about how Nick and Pheny enjoyed a memorable motorbike trip from Dublin to Rome when they were younger, the designers had an idea. The result is Plus One, a pod-like trailer designed to be compatible with bikes of the popular Dublin City Bikes scheme. It can be used to carry a passenger, to carry shopping, or to carry a child in relative safety and has power-assisted wheels so it can be used with minimal effort by a cyclist. In a closing speech, Prof Mark Dyer, head of TrinityHaus at Trinity College - which co-hosted the event with the National Disability Authority's Centre for Excellence in Universal Design in association with the British Royal College of Art's Helen Hamlyn Centre - urged each of the five teams to apply to Enterprise Ireland for funding in order to take their ideas to proof of concept stage with a view to commercialising them. "These inspiring ideas, that have been developed in such a short period of time, can be turned into something tangible, showing at least one path that can help to take us forward out of this recession," he added. ------------------------- Tim Culhane, Critical Path Ireland, 42-47 Lower Mount Street, Dublin 2.

If God was prepared to intervene in South Africa's judicial system once before, it may now be time for him to do so again. The last time he intervened, as many will recall, was when the Judicial Services Commission interviewed candidates to head the Constitutional Court.
Although we only have Mogoeng Mogoeng's word for it, God's intervention did appear to be quite decisive. When he was asked last September whether the Almighty wanted him to be chief justice, Mogoeng assured the JSC that this was indeed the case.
"I prayed and got a signal it was the right thing to do when I was approached," he told the JSC.
"When a position comes like this one, I wouldn't take it unless I had prayed and satisfied myself that God wants me to take it."
He got the job.
It may now once again be necessary for divine intervention in the affairs of the Constitutional Court. Advocate Jeremy Gauntlett has been nominated for a position as a judge in the highest court of the land.
However, just a few weeks ago he was turned down for a position on the Western Cape High Court by the same JSC. The problem, it seems, was not his lack of legal experience but his lack of humility and temperament.
As the JSC explained when puzzled colleagues asked for the reasons behind the decision: "Strong reservations were… expressed about whether, as part of his attributes, he has the humility and the appropriate temperament that a judicial officer should display."
At this stage, it is not yet clear whether the JSC will also include these attributes among its requirements for a Constitutional Court position. But, just in case, it may be appropriate for them to invite God to intervene in deliberations again this time. After all, matters of character usually fall within his domain.
However, even for him things may be a little more complicated than when he selected Mogoeng last year.
The reason is that Gauntlett does not appear to believe God will be an impartial arbiter in the process this time round.
In an interview last weekend, he suggested that God has in fact already taken a view on his appointment to the judiciary. After he failed to make it on to the Western Court bench, a disappointed Gauntlett confessed: "Unlike other candidates, I have not thought that God has called me to be a judge."
Nor can God rely on his local representative, Jacob Zuma, to make an objective call on the matter.
After all, the president is an honorary priest of the Full Gospel Community Church, and has long ago made it known – presumably with God's blessing – that the ANC will rule until the Second Coming.
So he, too, will be tempted to give preference to those who are perfect beings, with access to a direct hotline to heaven.
However, last year's appointment of Mogoeng Mogoeng set a hopelessly unrealistic precedent. The likes of our Constitutional Court president are a rarity.
For better or for worse, the JSC needs to return to criteria such as legal experience and expertise when it considers candidates for our judiciary. If it does, it will be able to appoint Gauntlett in good conscience.

Best of Total Beauty: All Our Best Beauty Product Stories in One Place
It's a weeknight at 2am and you can't sleep. You turn on the TV and see commercials for random beauty products that do everything from "remove calluses" to "automatically tweeze your 'stache." They always claim to be miracles, and they never cease to amuse. See products
From LED teeth whiteners to diamond-infused concealers -- see the hot-off-the-press technologies in beauty products See products
"Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's Maybelline." Sorry, we couldn't help ourselves -- that ubiquitous adage is forever embedded into our brains. But beyond a catchy ad campaign are exceptional beauty products to back it up. And the proof is in the pudding because our readers give high marks to tons of Maybelline products from powders and polishes to lip and eye makeup. See products

Ah Facebook, perhaps one of the greatest websites ever created, well besides TotalBeauty.com (of course) -- shameless, we know. Started by some computer science nerds at Harvard, the little-social-networking-site-that-could quickly expanded to become everyone's favorite destination for distraction. People love it for a variety of reasons, which is probably why it has been such a huge cultural phenomenon. Where else can you keep up with friends and family, spy on ex-boyfriends, network or even see how many pounds the prom queen gained since high school? Whether you joined to build virtual farms (no judgment), or if you're like us and just wanted another place to gab about beauty products and makeup trends; you aren't alone in your obsessive adoration of the site.

'Tis the season for de-cluttering, so as you start to clear out closets and drawers, think about spring cleaning your beauty products too. (And while you're at it, take this quiz to see if your makeup bag is a mess -- it may be time to give your stash of goodies a total overhaul.) While some beauty products might have served you well in colder months, as the temperatures rise and trends shift, there are certainly items that you should repurpose -- and some hot, must-have beauty products you should buy.

Everyone loves when Oprah does her annual "Favorite Things" episode, which is exactly why it has become the talk show queen's most-watched show. The gift-packed hour that airs during the holiday season (with an occasional bonus summer segment) showcases an assortment of things from high-end refrigerators equipped with LCD TVs to expensive beauty products that make great gifts for loved ones -- if you're fortunate enough to have Oprah's paycheck, that is. See favorite things
Every self-respecting beauty junkie knows the feeling. You hear or read about the latest "must-have" beauty product and suddenly you're making excuses to leave the office, the house, the bar exam to hightail it to the nearest CVS or Sephora. It's an addiction people! But hey, at least it's legal. See products
Contrary to popular belief or what the scandalous coverage of MTV Spring Break might imply, a week of fun in the sun is a necessary indulgence for everyone after a tedious winter -- not just those lucky college students. With that mature and responsible (note the slightly bitter tone) comment stated -- get ready party people: it's vacation time! See travel products
Finding beauty products that perfectly match your skin type could end up being a long and expensive process. What makes it even more complicated is the consistent launch of a host of new products. With every brand investing millions of dollars in marketing and promotion asserting that it's the best, it is easy to be misguided. However, for consumers who act smart before investing in skin care, Total Beauty presents its comprehensive skin care guide. Access to reliable and dependable information from a panel of experts on Total Beauty can help you make informed decisions on which brand and product you can trust for your skin.

How women can make it easier to ask for what they want
How and why women underprice themselves and what to do about it

Hebrews 12:1-3King James Version (KJV)
12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Hebrews 12:22-29King James Version (KJV)
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Nebraska's chief medical officer says it's time for overweight children in Nebraska to get moving.
Doctor Richard Raymond says kids are sitting and eating themselves into a lifetime of pain and misery.
His comments come in a report released Monday by the state's Health and Human Services System titled "Overweight Among Nebraska Youth."
The report uses height and weight data from more than 40 thousand Nebraska children in kindergarten through 12th grade to reach its conclusions.
The report found that 16 percent of children are overweight, while an additional 17-percent are at risk of being overweight.
Those at greater risk of being overweight are boys, students in grades 4-6, Hispanics, American Indians, and those living in south-central Nebraska.
Raymond says he hopes the report serves as a wake-up call to reverse the trends that lead to overweight children.

Bikers encouraged to be vigilant after two attempted thefts of motorbikes in Norwich
PUBLISHED: 15:59 16 October 2013 | UPDATED: 15:59 16 October 2013
Archant Norfolk Photographic © 2011
Police in the north of Norwich are urging motorcyclists to be vigilant following two thefts last weekend.
The first theft happened at the back of an address on Wodehouse Street, off Silver Road, between 11.30pm on Saturday and 8.45am on Sunday.
A Kawasaki motorbike was stolen from a garden after a gate had been forced, but was found abandoned in a nearby alleyway with damage to its trip computer, wing mirror and steering rack.
The second theft happened between 3am and 3.30am on Sunday, when a moped was taken from outside a home in Gertrude Road.
The moped was also found dumped in a nearby alleyway, which leads to Dibden Road, with substantial damage to its bodywork around the steering lock and ignition.
Police are now encouraging bikers to take steps, such as:
- Get a security device, use it and make sure you keep your keys with you.
- Always put the steering lock on.
- Try to use a designated motorcycle parking place with a stand and security loop. If you have a garage, fit strong locks and invest in a ground anchor.
- Mark the main areas of the motorcycle with either the registration number or your postcode, and keep a record of what you have marked.
- Purchase a good immobilizer, preferably one that is approved by your insurance company and is either Thatcham or Sold Secure approved.
- Cover your motorcycle if at all possible.
- Do not leave items such as helmets or other possessions with your bike.
- Register your vehicle at www.immobilise.com
Anyone with information about the attempted thefts should call PC Craig Bidwell at Hurricane Way Police Station on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Man Facing Sexual Imposition Charges Never Applied For Ohio Teaching License
Bond was set at $10,000 for the theater director at The Wellington School, one day after he was charged with gross sexual imposition.
A former Wellington School student claimed that Lawrence Dibble had inappropriate contact with her, 10TV's Tanisha Mallett reported.
Dibble, 41, was arrested Wednesday. He pleaded not guilty.
SLIDESHOW: Images From Report | WEB EXTRA: Letter Sent Home To Parents
Dibble allegedly fondled a student on school property last year.
The alleged victim was 18 at the time, Mallett reported.
The alleged contact happened last year between April and May. Prosecutors put a wire on the woman and sent her into school, where Dibble was accused of touching her again, Mallett reported.
Dibble has been a staff member at the Wellington school since 1998, but according to the Ohio Department of Education, Dibble never applied for a teaching license in Ohio but instead worked as a staff member at the school.
He passed all necessary background checks, school officials said.
"All Wellington employees go through the standard Ohio Department of Education FBI criminal background checks and Mr. Dibble was no exception," said Wellington's Assistant Head for Finance & Marketing Laura Cooke.
Those background checks would have picked up on any prior convictions.
Dibble had a revocation hearing in 1997 in Minnesota where he was employed as a licensed teacher, but no charges were ever filed, Mallett reported.
The Minnesota Board of Teaching hearing centered on accusations that Dibble had engaged in an improper relationship with a student.
Documents from the board show that Dibble did not admit guilt, but agreed to have his right to apply for a teaching license revoked for four years, Mallett reported.
Dibble never re-applied for a teaching license in Minnesota.
He also accompanied the Bexley High School theatre ensemble's 2003 trip to Scotland, Mallett reported.
Bexley's superintendent said Dibble was good friends with the drama director then and assisted with the productions.

It's all chemistry
Technology can be a double-edged sword in education. Mostly, the proliferation of computers and software in schools has lead to increased proficiency and more learning opportunities. Occasionally, however, technology implemented for its own sake leads to frustration and decreased learning.

College tours: What you don't want to see
Here is my print column from Aug. 28.
Searching for the right college or university is like looking for the perfect used car.
I say "used" because colleges, like "pre-owned automobiles," have had many previous owners, some stretching back to medieval times when presidents ordered deans to lower drawbridges and allowed young squires and ladies safe passage across moats to attend Heraldry 101, Jousting for Dummies, and Feminist Studies in Falconry.
In both used cars and colleges, you're looking for the perfect "fit" — how it looks (does my kid like it?), how

Small assassin
A teaching colleague and friend came across an extra copy of The Stories of Ray Bradbury at a used book sale this summer. Knowing that I drool over Bradbury's work and that I was missing this particular collection — which I check out of the Rodman Library at least once a year — he gave me the copy. It is like Christmas in August, with 100 of the master fantasist's best stories bundled under one cover.
My schedule is a little hectic to dive into too much free reading, but I couldn't resist revisiting one of my particular favorites, "Small Assassin." Readers who know Bradbury only from his wistful sci-fi and fantasy may be

What kind of learner are you?
Every year, I have my freshman classes take a short inventory test to determine how they learn best. Some people are primarily visual learners, some auditory learners, and some kinesthetic-tactile. This last means they learn by touching and doing.
Most instruction in school is auditory; the teacher tells the class what to do. But most learners are visual; they absorb information best when they see it. The poor kinesthetic-tactile learners are really hung out to dry; teachers don't often plan enough lessons that allow for movement around the room

End of the Internet
Jan Harold Brunvand, author of the Encyclopedia of Urban Legends, has a page on his Web site that is especially appropriate in our Internet-drive age. Check it out.
Unfortunately, the page has changed since the last time I visited, and it now includes links, something that undercuts the author's argument. Still, on this beautiful Sunday, which signals the end of summer for many students and teachers heading back to class tomorrow, we should follow Brunvand's advice and get outside. That's where I'm heading. See you there.

Throwing out an unwelcome visitor
Here is my print column from Aug. 21. Again, regular blog readers received a preview in an earlier entry.
I had an unwelcome visitor this summer. It didn't come calling at the door, but crawling on my body.
For about three weeks, I had a spot on the back of my leg, behind my knee, which itched like mad. I tried hard not to scratch, but it was like putting a junkie in a room with a bunch of white powder and telling him not to snort. Wasn't happening.

The EC Archives: Crime SuspensStories
I've loved EC Comics ever since I discovered three reprint issues back in middle school. They were much different — and better — than what passed for horror anthologies in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but having gone belly up in the 1950s, they were hard to come by.
Sometime in the '90s, various companies began to reprint the books, first as standalone issues and later in double-sized editions that combined one horror issue with one sci-fi title. I bought as many as I could get my

I'm a complete sucker for the little digest versions of Complete Idiot's Guides sold at checkout counters. If I'm waiting in line for more than 30 seconds, I'm scanning the aisles for these impulse buys. Recently, I added The Complete Idiot's Guide Dream Dictionary to my cart. It's the best entertainment around for three bucks.
The digest has a dream dictionary and a dream interpretation checklist. The dictionary has entries on virtually everything you might ever see in the Land of Nod, including buses (it matters if you're driving or

Ace, the Bat-Hound, originally appeared in 1955 in the pages of Batman #92. He was one of the wackier Bat-concepts, but an obvious one, nonetheless. Kids were the primary Batman readers, kids love dogs, ergo Batman should have a dog.

Prize to the first winner of "The Quadruple"
A couple of months ago, we added some new achievements to the game:
- The Double: Win a country's top league and primary cup in the same season
- The Tripple: Win a country's top league, primary cup and The Super Cup in the same season
- The Quadruple: Win a country's top league, primary cup, The Super Cup, and Virtual Manager World Cup in the same season
(To see a manager's achievements, click "Achievements" in the left navigation of the manager profile)
The Double was won for the first time December 11th when FC Innova triumphed in both Die Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal. Since then, The Double has been won an additional 21 times. Among the winners, you find some of the heavy clubs: Silkeborg IF (current #1 on the vifa rank list), Græsted United, and FC Kvædeparken.
The Triple was won for the first time January 15th by Team Svumpukkel (current #2 on vifa rank list) when he succeeded in come out victorious in both Portuguese League, Cup of Portugal, and Virtual Super Cup - all in the same season. What a performance!
Since then, only two clubs have been able to do the same: liverpools year (Feb 5th) and FC Innova (Feb 12th).
And how many how won the amazing Quadruple? No one! We need to change that!
The manager to achieve The Quadruple will get one year of free VM Premium.
Who do you think it'll be? :)
And have a nice weekend :D

What do you mean by 'nonduality'?
Think of the word 'nonduality' as a 'finger pointing to the moon' (as they say in Zen) directing your attention to the wholeness of all life, to the Oneness which exists here and now. It points to an intimacy, a love beyond words, a completeness right at the heart of present experience. It points to where you already are. It points back Home.
It is beyond comprehension, yet it is as obvious as breathing, as familiar as the feeling of your heart beating in your chest, as ordinary as the sights and sounds and smells appearing in this room.

<i>PC Magazine</i>'s Top 7 Viral Videos of the Week
Viral videos are a hilarious paradox. Your boss frowns upon you watching them in the office, but will just as quickly click on a link sent to him by an old college friend. A good viral video can cost a company time and money in lost productivity, but it can also make an office drone rich; just ask the South Park guys. There really is no rhyme or reason to a good viral videothe best run the gamut from hilarious to down-right horrifying. These are the videos that have slowed down our production at PCMag.com this week.
1) A NES Controller Coffee Table
At first we weren't sure if this was an actual working project or an early Michel Gondry video. This guy has fabricated a NES controller the size of a coffee table, and it works!
2) "The Emmy for Best Use of a Mac in a Video goes to
Sure, this tune is catchy and the girl is cute, but the real star here is the Mac and the Leopard OS.
3) Homeless James Bond
If you can't wait for the new James Bond flick to come out, this should hold you over.
4) Best. Bartender. Ever.
Do you think he knows how to make a banana daiquiri?
5) Mexican Drum
How many times do I have to tell you people "You don't mess with a marching band!"
6) Love in the Time of Text Messaging
Omg, this vid had us rotfl. ;-)
7) Worst. Weekend. Ever.
The security camera footage of a dude stuck in an elevator for 41 hours. (It's been sped up to 3 minutes.)

Europe's battered financial sector is showing further signs of healing and conditions for bank loans are stabilising while demand for loans is picking up, a key ECB survey showed today.
Consumers are showing more appetite for buying homes and consumer goods on credit, and loans are more easily available, the data showed.
The European Central Bank said that its quarterly bank lending survey "confirmed the stabilisation in bank credit conditions for euro area enterprises and households."
A note from the Irish Central Bank said that loan demand increased from overall enterprises and from SMEs.
It added that credit standards for both loans for house purchases and consumer credit and other lending were unchanged in the first three months of 2014.
It said that access to retail funding was also unchanged, while an easing in market access was reported in respect of wholesale funding.
In today's report, the ECB said that credit standards on loans to businesses "remained broadly unchanged in the first quarter of 2014. And for loans to households, credit standards were eased in net terms".
"Across all loan categories, the net tightening of credit standards in the first quarter of 2014 remained well below historical averages calculated over the period since the start of the survey in 2003," the ECB said.
And looking ahead, credit standards were expect to ease in the second quarter," the ECB continued.
At the same time, net loan demand "turned positive for all loan categories in the first quarter," the survey showed.
The net demand for loans to businesses increased in the first quarter of 2014, "making it positive for the first time since the second quarter of 2011."
For housing loans, "banks indicated a considerable net increase in demand, bringing it markedly above its historical average.
The net demand for consumer credit also increased, standing above its historical average," the survey found.
"Looking ahead, banks expect in net terms an increase in demand across all loan categories for the second quarter of 2014," the ECB added.

Fabregas targets Rovers tie
Cesc Fabregas is hopeful he will be able to overcome his latest fitness problem and return to the Arsenal side for their home game against Blackburn Rovers after the international break.
Fabregas suffered a hamstring injury in the Champions League defeat at Barcelona at the start of March and has missed the FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester United and Saturday's disappointing 2-2 draw against West Brom in the Premier League.
However, the midfielder, who has had persistent injury problems this season, has started running again and now hopes to return to captain Arsene Wenger's team.
"My injury is getting better," Fabregas said in a video broadcast for his Twitter followers. "I started running on Monday and everything is getting better.
"I needed time, because it has been a weird season for me with injuries and I just want to make it right. I want to come back stronger than ever and hopefully fitter than ever so it won't happen again. Hopefully you will see me play against Blackburn if I am fit."
Meanwhile, Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner suffered an ankle injury in training with Denmark on Wednesday and required an ice pack. It is not known how serious the problem is.
