Economics professor awarded grant to research how coalitions are formedUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Posted: Nov 24, 2010
What is behind the human tendency to vote for a candidate of the same race, gender or even religion? Can the consequences of people forming a coalition with those who have similar characteristics perhaps bring enlightenment as to how military wars are started?
UH Mānoa Assistant Professor of Economics Ruben Juarez, 28, will be conducting such research for the next three years, after being selected one of 43 participants in the prestigious Young Investigators Program of the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research.
He will receive a total of $360,000 from 2010-13 to design mathematical models that more accurately predict the outcomes of competitive models. His methodology takes into account the formation of coalitions when agents possess differing levels of power or attributes, such as cultural or ideological affinities.
The research will provide more accurate predictions on conditions under which coalitions are formed and sustained, and the implications that might result. Better predictions of equilibrium outcomes could have important applications, for instance, in everything from political contests to military wars.
Juarez obtained a PhD from Rice University in 2008 and has been teaching at UH Mānoa for two years. His main research is in microeconomics, especially game theory.
"I am excited about the project and the potential of advancing the state of knowledge in the field," says the Ala Moana area resident. "Understanding what cultural characteristics play a role when forming coalitions is a very difficult question, but I am confidently hopeful that I can contribute to a better understanding of this."
The U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research's Young Investigators Program fosters creative research in science and engineering, enhances early career development of outstanding young researchers, and increases opportunities for young researchers to recognize the Air Force mission and related challenges in science and engineering.
The awards are open to scientists and engineers, working at U.S. research institutions, who have earned doctorates or equivalent degrees in the last five years, and who show exceptional ability and promise for conducting research. Competition is intense, with success rates of only 13-19 percent in the past three years.

Windham Jaguars win second NHIAA Div. III lacrosse title, move up in class next year
HOOKSETT - The girls hugged, a few cried, the crowd cheered loudly. This was a fitting finale for the Windham girls lacrosse team.
They defeated Lebanon 21-12 at Southern New Hampshire University on Thursday, June 6, to repeat as NHIAA Division III champions.
And it will be their last game in Division III.
"We will be in Division II. It's a done deal," said Jaguar coach Jill Bartlett.
Her Windham squad dominated the last two seasons in Division III. They went undefeated in 2012 and beat every Division III opponent this season.
Their only losses this season were against Division II Portsmouth and Division I Londonderry.
The Jaguars powered through the tournament field, starting with a bye then beating Hopkinton, The Derryfield School and finally Lebanon.
Bartlett described winning their second title as almost surreal.
"The second time is unbelievable. The girls get better and better each year," said Bartlett.
Windham was led by players like Courney Sweeny, Alexandra Connors and Samantha Crichton.
Then there is captain Melissa Cino, who Bartlett describes as having a "lacrosse IQ" and tremendous vision of the field.
Fortunately for Windham, they will enter Division II next year with all of these players. They only lose four senior players.
So instead of being the team with the target on its back, as Bartlett described, they will be the new kids looking to prove themselves.
But Bartlett is confident of their chances.
"The girls are dedicated," she said. "I think we'll make a good run next year."

Charles Krauthammer and others have noted that, unlike Anthony Weiner, Eliot Spitzer shrewdly chose to seek a lesser office for his comeback than the one he held pre-scandal. But Spitzer also selected his "lesser office" shrewdly. The Comptroller of the City of New York job is an excellent fit for the self-described "f—ing steamroller," and he has big plans for this post. My conservative cousin from New York explains:
The antics of the Democratic candidate for Mayor may prove to be an amusing sideshow compared to what is in store for New York should Eliot Spitzer become Comptroller. To Spitzer the office of Comptroller is not limited to its traditional function of managing pension funds and auditing municipal operations. Instead, Spitzer will function as a Lone Ranger going after anyone who gets in his way.
To Spitzer the time is "ripe for greater and more exciting use of the office's jurisdiction." Just what he has in mind is laid out in a series of ads that are truly frightening to anyone who believes in limited government.
The overall theme of his campaign is that Spitzer will function as a kind of municipal Lone Ranger bringing his brand of justice to a town unburdened by traditional notions of legal procedure. Spitzer told Stephen Colbert that he aims to be "umpire of capitalism."
In one ad, Spitzer reintroduces himself as "an old friend" who has gone after evildoers – "if someone wanted to take advantage of you, then someone heard from him…loudly." The main villains in the Spitzer worldview are Wall Street money men.
In his crusade against Wall Street, Spitzer goes way beyond the traditional liberal hobby horses of fair executive compensation and socially responsible investing. Rather like the hero in an old Western flick, Eliot is going to drive the bad guys out of town. His latest ad portrays a deserted Financial District cleansed of evil doers by the City's new fighting Comptroller.
Jobs lost…disappearing tax revenue… not a concern of the self-styled Sheriff of Wall Street. New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli soberly pointed out that "as we know when Wall Street slows, New York State and New York City budgets feel the impact and it's a concern." But hey, even though DiNapoli is a Democrat, in Spitzer world he's just another green eyeshade accountant who doesn't understand the more exciting powers of a Comptroller.
Spitzer's sordid record in power as Governor and Attorney General — and I'm not even talking about cavorting with prostitutes — should make voters cringe. A few samples of a man whose reckless use of power knows no bounds:
As Attorney General, he launched failed criminal prosecutions of NYSE head Dick Grasso and AIG Chief Hank Greenberg. Spitzer thought Grasso's salary was too high, maybe it was, but why is that a crime.
Spitzer bullied AIG into firing Hank Greenberg. Many observers say the loss of Greenberg's managerial skills was a major factor in the company's collapse. When former Goldman Sachs Chairman John Whitehead wrote a piece in The Wall Street Journal defending Greenberg, he received the following message from the Attorney General "I will be coming after you…you will pay the price. This is only the beginning and you will pay dearly for what you have done."
After his election as Governor, Spitzer treated GOP leaders as enemies who must be destroyed. He told State Assembly GOP leader James Tedisco "I'm a f—ing steamroller and I'll roll over you." Spitzer aides ordered the State Police to launch a criminal investigation of Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno.
Spitzer's ire is not limited to citizens of wealth and power. To gain headlines he'll go after the little guys he purports to champion. Once, in a phony scandal about fixing horse races, Spitzer brought actions against a man who weighed jockeys right before post time. The successful defense against these charges left this innocent man financially ruined and unemployable.
For sheer demagoguery, Spitzer's only serious rival among New York political figures is Al Sharpton.
More grim news: latest polls show Spitzer ahead of his primary rival Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer 48-36 among likely voters in the Wall Street-Journal-Marist poll, and 49-45 in the Quinnipiac poll. Stringer is a drab five & dime store liberal, but next to Spitzer he's a powerhouse of common sense.

The Session Store Location field specifies the directory where passivated beans and persisted HTTP sessions are stored on the file system.
Passivated beans are enterprise beans that have had their state written to a file on the file system. Passivated beans typically have been idle for a certain period of time, and are not currently being accessed by clients.
Similar to passivated beans, persisted HTTP sessions are individual web sessions that have had their state written to a file on the file system.
The Commit Option field specifies how the container caches passivated entity bean instances between transactions.
Option B caches entity bean instances between transactions, and is selected by default. Option C disables caching.

Joran van der Sloot's Jail Cell: Not So Nice
Want to know what it's like to spend a day in Joran van der Sloot's jailhouse slippers? He hangs his clothes on a rack and reads the Bible! He even sleeps on a mattress! CNN got an exclusive tour.
Van der Sloot—suspect in the murder of Natalee Holloway in Aruba and Stephanie Flores in Peru—is currently sitting in the Castro Castro prison, where In Session/CNN sent a reporter, Jean Casarez, for an exclusive inside look at his cell. The toilet is pretty disgusting, and it's a small space, but at least he's not in general population. Here is the video, where, besides being totally surprised there are actual prisoners inside a prison, Casarez says from inside van der Sloot's cell, "Here are his pants, and over here, here's his bed. It's a mattress."

Teaching online is no easy feat. It requires foresight, clear organization, in-depth preparation before the class begins, re-evaluation as the course develops and continual learning. To be a successful instructor in the virtual classroom it helps to keep these fundamental issues in mind:
Formal training in both the required technology and pedagogy specific to eLearning is fundamental.
Delivering content in a virtual classroom is more time consuming than delivering content in a face-to-face classroom.
You must be consistently present, because the virtual classroom does not teach itself (nor should it be like delivering a correspondence course).
Knowledge of online-specific pedagogy and continual updating on developments in instructional technology is imperative.
Knowledge about auditory, visual and kinesthetic learning styles is extremely helpful in designing and delivering courses (see the Univ of Illinois' "Learning Styles and the Online Environment").
It is essential to effectively manage time, plan, set and meet deadlines.
Most often, teaching and learning happen asynchronously.
You must be available for weekly scheduled synchronous office hours.
Be familiar with WVC's Distance Education Standards and Criteria .
Be familiar with WVC's support services for online students.
Be familiar with CA CC State Chancellor's Office Distance Education Guidelines .
Stay abreast of developments by attending conferences and completing additional training both at WVC and in other places such as CA CC Chancellor's Office @ONE.

Three Hood River men spread goodwill around the world:
Mike Foss: Beasts and the burden of povert -- teaching vet skill in Haiti
By Kirby Neumann-Rea, News Editor
One cow at a time.
That was how Dr. Mike Foss tried to approach his recent work teaching veterinarian skills in Haiti.
The destitute Caribbean nation has very few resident veterinarians in a country whose subsistence population depends on livestock for food or transport to markets.
"If what I taught can help one family save one cow, the money they save may provide enough to educate one of their kids," Foss said.
Foss, who owns Alpine Veterinary Clinic in Hood River and White Salmon, has worked at equestrian events in lands as diverse as Australia, Argentina and Guatemala, in addition to the U.S. and Canada, teaching veterinary medicine and working with animals competing in endurance races.
Foss served as Japan's team veterinarian at the World Equestrian Games in one of the world's wealthiest countries - Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with its gold markets, exclusive hotels, and desert horse and camel races.
In late January, Foss took his skills to one of the poorest of nations - Haiti - living there for a week just before the first anniversary of the 2010 earthquake that devastated much of the nation.
"It was rewarding, yet the amount of poverty in the country is depressing," Foss said of the experience, his first mission work.
"I'd been interested in doing something like this, and it was a good time with my practice to get away," he said.
He taught basic veterinary practices to veterinary agents at an education facility named Carrefors, in a mountain village about a half hour from the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince, a city Foss said is only beginning to recover from the earthquake.
Though the area Foss served in had seen little physical damage, expansive tent cities, along with fallen buildings and debris, were visible reminders of the devastation elsewhere.
Foss taught students about diagnosing animals, birthing techniques, suturing, tooth care, first aid, healthful feeding and livery.
He mostly trained people but also worked on animals during his time in Haiti. His students combined morning lab work with afternoon trips to farms.
The odds seem stacked against the Haitians, given the apparently corrupt government and the lack of basic services, according to Foss. Sanitation is a serious issue, not just for human health, but also for livestock.
"I tried to communicate that if you want your animals to be healthy, you have to keep them out of the manure," he said.
Carrefors is similar to a technical college, where people are trained in nursing, veterinary medicine, plumbing mechanics, electronics, computers and other work.
"They try to teach Haitians some marketable skills," Foss said.
Carrefors has a partnership with a Wisconsin-based Rotary Club. Foss learned of their training program through a professional organization, Small Ruminant Association. (Ruminants are livestock including cows, goats, sheep and llamas).
Foss, who lives in Snowden, Wash., specializes in large animals in his practice, though he said Alpine predominately serves clients with dogs and cats. Foss has been a veterinarian for 32 years; he opened Alpine in White Salmon in 1984, and added the Hood River clinic in 1988.
For years, Foss served as staff veterinarian for the Classic Hunter Jumper Horse Show in Mt. Hood; the event disbanded in 2009. Foss's wife, Sharon, is office manager at Hood River Alpine, and a veterinary technician.
In Haiti, Foss encountered animal ailments that are rare in the U.S., such as rabies and hog cholera, and "a weird pig disease" peculiar to Haiti.
He also saw plenty of wear and tear on the working animals.
"There are lots of saddle sores. Horses are their cars," he said.
People depend on their animals for transportation as well as getting their food to market. Without the cow or horse, they must themselves carry their goods for miles, greatly reducing income potential.
At Carrefors, Foss said his students were highly motivated and worked hard, but the language barrier made teaching a lengthy, arduous process.
"For one thing, humor gets lost in the translation," he said. He had a translator, but few of his students had any more than a basic understanding of English.
Teaching Creole-speaking students how to properly mix medicine, from instructions written in English, was a major challenge. (There are no veterinary professional journals written in Creole, making the hands-on instruction by Foss and others all that more critical.)
"I taught them things they need to know about better help for their animals," Foss said. "They have a few more skills - a better understanding of what they're doing. They were very appreciative."
"The Haitians are friendly people. They just have so little opportunity," Foss said.
Mike Pendleton: Knowing the true heroes serving clinics in Botswana
2001: Afghanistan
2003: Iraq
2007: Darfur
2008: Botswana
The international resume of Dr. Mike Pendleton is a virtual atlas of assistance.
With Northwest Medical Teams, Medicins Sans Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders) and other aid groups, the longtime Hood River family physician has repeatedly taken his medical expertise and compassion to troubled or poor foreign lands, including Albania, Turkey and Kosovo.
Most recently, Pendleton and his wife, Lynne, a retired teacher, served nearly three years in the east African nation of Botswana. Mike taught at the country's national hospital and visited outlying clinics to help instruct doctors.
The Pendletons are now living in Hawaii, where their son, Forrest, 30, is stationed in the Navy. Their other children are Eli, 33, Bethany, 28, and Aven, 28.
-- Kirby Neumann-Rea
In a Feb. 15 e-mail, Mike wrote: "We lived in the capital of Gaborone, but I traveled to many district hospitals, clinics and outposts throughout the south and in an arc around to the northwest. We flew once a month to remote hospitals out in the bush: Tsabong, Hukuntsi, Ghanzi and surrounding remote villages."
Speaking of which, Lynne said in a June 18, 2008, Hood River News article about their departure for Botswana: "We will always consider Hood River our home. This is the village that raised our kids."
Here is more from Mike:
"After the experience in Botswana and other places I am reminded, again, that we are indeed fortunate.
I loved the pathology and medicine on Botswana. It was amazing and I'll always have some great stories. I have a lot of pics if you'd like.
One of the highlights of our time there was volunteering in an AIDS orphanage. Botswana has the second-highest rate of HIV in the world and as a result thousands of kids have been orphaned. The SOS Children's Village where we volunteered is the placement of last resort for these kids. We would play with, read with, mediate with, etc. They were incredible with life stories that are extraordinary for us but were related in a matter-of-fact voice.
I had visited numerous remote villages from which they hailed and knew the nurses and docs there as well as the situation. That these kids were alive was a testament to their fortitude.
A third of the SOS kids are HIV-positive and SOS is very matter-of-fact about it. Each child takes his or her medication under direct supervision or doesn't go to school. Those that game the system regret it. These kids and those with HIV are the true heroes to me. I get to leave at the end of the stay in the village, or country. They stay and live or die with HIV, or from one or more of the coexisting diseases, and at the very least have an insecure future. Like any "village," some graduate from university while others fall below the radar.
I'm still in denial at some level; bereavement if you will. While I am fortunate indeed to have an extraordinary family that missed me (well, Lynne mostly) I dearly miss the medicine of that region. I know it sounds melodramatic but when it's just you between an extremely sick kid and death, it focuses you, steels you, makes you realize that THIS is why I'm a physician!
To save the life of a person that is dying fast is as simple as it is incredibly empowering. In the end it is self-serving to think that I made any real difference there as much it did to me. All I did was make relationships where scared docs and nurses could contact me and get medical or collegial support.
I gave case-based presentations on various manifestations of HIV or other primary care topics. There isn't a disease process that isn't accelerated by HIV and the docs there need all the help they can get. For most western physicians, it isn't the medicine that is so fatiguing. Many of the docs are on call almost 100 percent of the time. Again, the true heroes.
The experience was like teaching; no one thanks you in real time. You run into someone 10 years later and they thank you.
On my departure I can't say that any real difference was made in delivery of health care. Sure I made some clean saves and those folks have me to thank for it. But thanking isn't part of the Botswana culture and that took a while to get used to.
The medicine was average or below on a good day when I got there and was unchanged when I left. It won't be for another generation before we find out if the aid we gave Botswana had any real and sustainable impact. For now I have some great friends and memories."
Randal Lee: Opening doors as ambassadors of love in Belize
By Adam Lapierre, News staff writer
Edward (no known last name) lost his mother to cancer and his father to a bullet.
An orphan; the now 14-year-old boy struggled with school, bouncing around from one to another until none would take him. He was on a dangerous path.
Fortunately for Edward, a couple members of his local government had similar, difficult childhoods. And when they were young and in need, a small school and orphanage in the jungle was their savior.
So they referred Edward to that same school, hoping he could be rescued from a future aimed at crime, life on the streets or worse, in the Belize prison system.
When he entered the school, Edward couldn't read, he had anger and behavior issues and was in need of personal care. He was cold; hardened by a childhood of pain and loss.
That was about a year ago.
"When he came in, he needed a lot of care and attention," said Randal Lee, who traveled to the Central American country this month with a group of ten other Hood River residents. "After a few months of showing great progress, he asked if he could have a puppy. I tell you, it was about the ugliest dog I've seen, but that little puppy nearly brought him to tears. It broke the hardness in him; it has shown him a tenderness that he hasn't experienced in a long time."
For now, it appears, Edward is well on his way to recovery.
Lee has literally circled the world helping people. From Central America to Scotland; in poverty-stricken villages in Kenya to jungles in Belize, he has dedicated much of his life to connecting with distant communities and helping them build foundations for better futures.
The Hood River native's most recent journey was one he has taken several times. With roots dating back more than 30 years to when his brother, Alvin, was a bush pilot in Central America, the small orphanage and school sits surrounded by jungle along the Belize River. With ten people from the Hood River area and 11 others from around the U.S., Lee guided a work party down to the school to build a new staff dormitory to accommodate for the continued growth of the school over the years.
"My brother is the one who started it all," he said. "He was a pilot in Central America for about 40 years. He was delivering medical supplies to refugee camps when he and a friend purchased 19 acres of jungle on the Belize River. They cleared the land and built a boys' home and bible and trade school. The goal was to teach the boys about God's love for them, while giving them the education they need to do a trade. Since then over 100 boys have lived in the home and attended this small school in the jungle."
Some of the boys, Lee explained, passed through the school and have since gone on to work with the local government, which has turned to the school to help with troubled boys who would likely otherwise be headed into the prison system.
"As more boys attend the school, the government has given funds to help it expand," Lee said. "Due to additional students coming in, more staff is needed, and that's what our last trip went down to help with."
At lickety-split speed, the group arrived, set up camp and constructed the new staff building, complete with insulation, drywall, plumbing and electricity. From the Hood River area, Ralph and David VanDyke, Stanley and Gaylea Lee, John McCarty, Michael Walton, Charle Johnston, Peter and Susan Dufault accompanied Lee on the trip. Aside from a couple experienced builders/contractors on the trip, those who went were more or less grunt workers.
"Alvin went down a couple weeks early to get materials in order and lay a foundation," Lee said. "Once we got there, it was amazing how fast we were able to get the building up.
"The trips are about compassion for people of other cultures," Lee said. "We minister and spread the love of Jesus Christ, but our number-one goal is to build things that will directly help people in need. We are trying to teach the people we help, and ourselves, acceptance, tolerance and compassion for other human beings. The world is ours and all its people are our brothers and sisters."
Lee guides what he calls mercy-trips on a regular basis through Hood River-based Open Door Ministry, which is a non-denominational Christian group, not a church. Participants pay for airfare, which is usually discounted, and for food, which is purchased at local markets and cooked on site by one of the group members. The task of shopping for fresh ingredients at a local market is, for some who go along, a completely new experience in itself.
"One of our goals is to help bring people out of their comfort zones; to get them out in the world, helping other people and experiencing other ways of life," Lee said. "When we are on a trip, we always take the time explore the surrounding area and see what kind of activities are available to the locals. We try to make the trips educational, not just to build something. We are there to share, to work together, to minister, to teach and to learn; we are there as ambassadors of love."
Whether through Open Door Ministry or another program, Lee says opportunities are always available for people interested in traveling abroad to help with similar projects. Anyone interested in getting involved can contact Lee at email@example.com for information.

For many civilian and military employees, having access to secure voice communications is essential. While voice encryption is available via a software solution, only the combination of hardware- and software-based encryption delivers the most secure connection. In fact, the National Institutes of Standards and Technology recommends that all federal users implement hardware-based security.
TrustCall from Maryland-based company KoolSpan is the first hardware-based mobile security solution made for the Apple iPhone 4 series phones, according to the company. It uses TrustChip, a FIPS 140-2 validated MicroSD chip that was already available for Android phones. It actually supports key management, authentication and, of course, encryption for various applications, but it is designed to work with the TrustCall software.
We found it quite easy to install the TrustChip onto an iPhone 4S. The TrustChip comes already installed in a TrustSleeve (which is a Device Fidelity iCaisse4X sleeve), so users can just dock the iPhone onto the 30-pin connector and snap the sleeve cover on to keep it all in place. The 1200 mAh battery mitigates the extra juice needed to make encrypted calls and can extend the phone's battery life to up to 12 hours of talking. The TrustSleeve weighs 2.6 ounces, which is about half again what the iPhone itself weighs. This makes the phone noticeably heavier, but seven and a half ounces is not too cumbersome.
The software is easy enough to install and configure. Before it can be used, however, users will need to enter the KoolSpan Notification Service account info. This service is provided by KoolSpan for those using its management servers; if the management server is in-house, the management software will generate it. Once the account is set up it is ready to start making calls.
A phone's contacts can be imported into TrustCall, or users can enter them manually or even dial up a number on the keypad. If the call recipient has a TrustChip and TrustCall installed, it will let him answer the call. At this point the connection is authenticated and encrypted by the server, and after about 40 seconds the call can proceed. We found the sound quality to be equivalent to an unsecured call over the same network.
If the sleeve is removed, a call cannot be initiated through TrustCall. It merely displays an error message and notes the call attempt in the history. If another phone with everything in place tries to TrustCall the sleeveless phone, the call just never gets answered, though it would be helpful if the caller got a message stating why the call didn't go through.
We only found one potential issue with TrustCall, in fact. A user who calls a contact using the phone's regular contacts app will initiate an unsecure call that the recipient will answer on his unencrypted phone. The danger here is that if a user isn't accustomed to opening TrustCall to make encrypted calls, then he may assume his call is secure when it really isn't. Although this potential user error shouldn't be held against TrustCall, we felt it was worth pointing out.
KoolSpan is selling the TrustCall for iPhone 4 package, which includes the TrustSleeve with TrustChip installed for $119. There is also a $45 per month fee to use KoolSpan's servers for encrypted calls. This isn't too expensive for a few users, but for more than that, the monthly fee route is probably not the way to go. KoolSpan also sells its management software, which might make more sense for an agency with a large number of users.

2012 is not being kind to kith and kin. Suzanne's fractured her poor leg and knee. Another friend just sent me rather distressing news. I won't reveal anything about it until I have her leave, but I figured another installment of flowers was in order. She and Suzanne both could use a little beauty right now.
We'll have some lovely lilies, accompanied by one of the most beautiful piano pieces I've heard lately, "Tip-Toe Dancer" by Karen Marie Garrett.
The lilies are from the North Creek area. This first one reminds me very much of my friend: its near-translucent purple looks delicate, but it's tough as well as gorgeous.
This white lily is an early spring delight. I love how the little bits of green in its petals give it some pizazz.
In the summer, orange lilies bloom nearly everywhere. Sometimes, it's just a bloom or two on a single stalk; elsewhere, banks of them blaze out. They seem to pick up where the rhododendrons leave off, and leaven the endless green quite admirably.
These scarlet lilies are from a park near the river. Not a common color, and all the more gorgeous for that.
We'll finish with flowers found in the blast zone at Mt. St. Helens. They're a wonderful reminder that no matter how bad the damage, given a bit of time, beauty can return.
And now, I'd like a word with 2012: stop fucking with my friends, or I will hurt you in the face. Well, I would, if you had a face, which you don't. You're not even a you. Bugger. Still, you're on notice, 2012. Behave.

Helen Flanagan gun pic row
I'M A CELEBRITY babe Helen Flanagan has caused outrage by sharing a picture of herself posing with a gun - just days after the Sandy Hook massacre.
Anyone who knows me knows I have the biggest heart.... I feel really chocked up that's so cruel
Although the 22-year-old deleted the Twitter post, the picture is still visible on another of her photo-sharing accounts.
Helen, who is seen posing in a black bra, added the caption "Head F**k" along with the photo.
The image is thought to come from a shoot Helen originally posed for in October.
The actress today hit back at criticism that she had been insensitive in posting the photo so soon after the horrific events in Connecticut.
"Anyone who knows me knows I have the biggest heart.... I feel really chocked up that's so cruel," she wrote on Twitter.
"I've just been crying to my bf before he left for work.... Now I am just absolutely livid. I am really worried about my mum," she added.

Peeking over the 'fiscal cliff': What's down there?By ANITA KUMAR and KEVIN G. HALL
McClatchy Newspapers
December 08. 2012 8:33PM
WASHINGTON - Now just weeks away, a crisis looms that might touch every paycheck in the land, and government services from the border to national parks.
President Barack Obama and a divided Congress are trying to avert a series of end-of-the-year spending cuts and tax increases that's been dubbed the fiscal cliff. They still disagree on how to do that.
Failure would mean that $500 billion in tax increases take effect early next year, coupled with $109 billion in spending reductions, the first installment toward $1.2 trillion in cuts over two years. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has said that might raise the unemployment rate to 9 percent or higher and push us back into a recession.
What is the fiscal cliff? How did we get to the edge? And what does it mean for Americans if the government goes over it?
Here are some answers:
The Beginning
The failure of Congress to reach a bipartisan deal last year to reduce projected budget deficits led to today's predicament.
Congress agreed that if a 12-member committee failed to reduce projected deficits by $1.2 trillion over the next decade, spending would be cut automatically. The committee did fail, and the first round of automatic reductions is set to start in January.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke coined the term "fiscal cliff" in February testimony to Congress, where he warned that under current law "there's going to be a massive fiscal cliff of large spending cuts and tax increases."
Absent a deal, the 2011 law will cut nearly 10 percent of the nation's defense and domestic spending. The cuts, known as sequestration, might lead to fewer FBI and Border Patrol agents, air traffic controllers and park rangers. Housing for low-income families would be cut, and medical research would suffer. New equipment and repairs for the military would be delayed.
The Indian Health Service faces a cut of $356 million, leading to less care for a Native American population that already has a life span that's five years shorter than any other racial group's in the United States.
The list goes on and on: The agricultural disaster-relief fund, which was in the news during the brutal summer drought, stands to lose $104 million in funding. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would be cut by $464 million; the National Institutes of Health, $2.5 billion; the Transportation Security Administration, $429 million for airport security measures. The fund that doles out money to the families of Sept. 11 victims would shrink by $24 million.
Judge Julia S. Gibbons, of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Tennessee, told Congress that the courts would have to downsize, implement furloughs, delay civil trials and lay off court security officers to cope with the cuts.
Defense programs
Most defense programs would be cut by 9.4 percent, while domestic programs would see an 8.2 percent reduction. Administration officials couldn't say how many federal employees would lose their jobs, but they said the cuts would have a "significant impact on the federal workforce."
Medicare benefits wouldn't be touched. Nor would veterans' benefits and food stamps, under the law. Medicare providers would take a 2 percent hit.
If the temporary George W. Bush-era tax cuts are allowed to expire, the income tax code would revert to tax brackets from 2000.
The current top rate of 35 percent would rise to one of two rates, either 36 percent or 39.6 percent.
The 25 percent tax bracket would rise to 28 percent, while the 31 percent bracket would rise to 33 percent.
On the low end, the current bottom tax bracket of 10 percent would disappear, reverting to a 15 percent bracket.
A married couple without children who have taxable income of $57,462 would see their income taxes go up by $2,262, according to a tax calculator created by the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan research center.
A couple with $106,059 in taxable income would pay $4,218 more to Uncle Sam, and couples earning $415,687 would pay an extra $20,841.
High-income taxpayers would see their personal exemptions phased out, and their itemized deductions subjected to more limits.
For married couples filing jointly, the standard deduction on their 1040 tax forms would shrink in size relative to single filers.
Investors' dividends would be taxed at the rate of ordinary income taxes, instead of the current 15 percent.
Capital gains would increase from 15 percent to 20 percent.

Terrible news out of Toronto: Former Flyer Peter Zezel has died in a hospital as a result of a rare blood disorder.
Multiple reports indicate that Zezel had fought the disorder, hemolytic anemia, for the last decade, but that he was thought to be coping well in recent years. His family made the decision to turn off life support this afternoon.
Zezel was drafted by the Flyers in 1983 and was a very popular player, especially among the females in the stands, when he played here from 1984 to 1989. In that time, he and his young teammates made two trips to the Stanley Cup finals under coach Mike Keenan. He was one of the faces of that popular young group that never was quite able to knock down the door.
The end of Zezel's career told you something about the man. He was in Vancouver and requested a deadline trade to the East so that he could be near a young niece who was dying of cancer. Instead, he was traded to Anaheim and promptly retired.
Now, this. Zezel was only 44 years old.

The Amreican Enterprise Institute has made available Mark Falcoff's important contribution to the literature on the fall of Salvador Allende: "Kissinger and Chile." Falcoff's piece is the lead article in the November issue of Commentary magazine and is otherwise unavailable.
You won't want to miss Falcoff's consideration of the evidence, some of it previously unreleased, but here is his conclusion: "The United States did play a role in Chile, though not precisely the one ascribed to it. It attempted–unsuccessfully–to forestall Allende's confirmation by the Chilean congress. But once he was in office, the thrust of U.S. policy shifted to sustaining a democratic opposition and an independent press until Allende could be defeated in the presidential elections scheduled for 1976. To the extent that this opposition was able to survive under extraordinarily difficult economic circumstances–winning control of the Chilean congress in March 1973–one might even credit the Nixon administration with preventing the consolidation of Allende's "totalitarian project" (to use the apt expression of Eduardo Frei).
"What then followed–a right-wing dictatorship that crushed not merely the Allende regime but Chilean democracy itself–was not and could not have been predicted, partly because of the military's own apolitical traditions and partly because, by mid-1973, the opposition to Allende was dominated by forces of proved democratic provenance. To the contrary, Washington's presumption–that in the 1976 elections, if they were allowed to take place, the opposition would win decisively–was amply supported by the facts. It was only the savagery of the subsequent Pinochet dictatorship that in hindsight altered the historical picture."

January 31, 2013 15:13 ET
COLONIA, NJ--(Marketwire - Jan 31, 2013) - The brick-and-mortar retail jewelry industry is an industry of grand luxury goods that sparkle and dazzle the eye. The jewelry industry is also vast enough to feature beautiful designs at a wide variety of price points. Yet with all the care, crafting and time spent dedicated to making particular designs to appeal to jewelry consumers at all levels, one overall aspect seems to be lagging behind the times -- jewelry marketing.
As a whole, the jewelry industry utilizes many tried and true but antiquated methods for marketing and advertising. To raise awareness for their store event or sale, a retailer may rely on a physical mailing which can be time consuming, untargeted and expensive. Manufacturers spend time putting together catalogs, brochures and other handouts with high hopes that their retailers keep them accessible on their counters. Print advertisements can be pricey not just related to design costs but with purchasing space in the right publications for effective placement. Stores and manufacturers alike try giveaways and discount promotions to peak consumer interest. The phrase "it's all about social media" can be heard at trade shows of all sizes from coast-to-coast, yet many stores and manufacturers struggle to reach just a few hundred fans on Facebook, or even five hundred followers on Twitter. Over the course of a year, perhaps thousands of conversations are started about the "next big thing" for jewelry marketing, yet so many in the jewelry industry promote themselves as if it was still 1999. However, one New Jersey-based company, SolarCure, has introduced a new marketing method for the retail jewelry industry at large.
SolarCure offers any jewelry store, jewelry manufacturer or jewelry designer in the world a way to set their message apart from the rest of their competitors with their brand new Adopt-A-Solar-Panel™ program. Generous organizations sponsor a portion of a solar panel designed and installed for a specific non-profit organization. The non-profit organization will use energy generated through solar panels and the money saved through decreased energy bills can be put to better use towards their mission. A key component of Adopt-A-Solar-Panel™ is the distribution of an expertly crafted online press release to hundreds of online news portals, which generates SolarCure's unique concept of Solar Powered SEO™. Solar Powered SEO™ extends online reach easily and inexpensively. These nationally distributed press releases contain targeted keyword phrases related to a specific jewelry-related keyword phrase; search engines then index each article. A Solar Powered SEO™ press release has greater importance as far as the content and potential audience. A distributed article, which may be featured on over 100 quality news websites and social media portals, helps improve corporate image by announcing Adopt-A-Solar-Panel™ program participation on a broad scale, as well as strengthen brand appeal.
When considering the Adopt-A-Solar-Panel™ with its Solar Powered SEO™ component as part of your jewelry marketing plan, consider the following benefits this initiative brings to your jewelry brand:
For more information about how a jewelry retailer, manufacturer or designer can extend its overall awareness and help the environment with SolarCure's assistance, please visit www.solarcure.us or email your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also call 908-642-3029. Let SolarCure show you how to improve your Internet reach and search engine visibility while assisting a local non-profit organization's solar energy efforts and helping the environment in general. There are only winning attributes to the Adopt-a-Solar-Panel™ program and Solar Powered SEO™. Pricing starts at $995. Larger and smaller packages can be designed to fit any budget. Because of all of its outstanding marketing and social-related attributes, SolarCure promises that you'll never feel as good as when you write a check for participating in the Adopt-A-Solar-Panel™ program.

**1/2 (out of four)
I'd say I'm of two minds about "Disconnect," but I think it's more like my mind and my heart don't agree on this one. For starters: IMDB plot summaries don't get much drier than, "A drama centered on a group of people searching for human connections in today's wired world."
Come on, you don't want to see that movie. Especially when the poster says "look up" and features a bunch of people milling about. We know we're disconnected—you may have read a story about it earlier today, gazing at your phone/iPad/tiny screen reflected on the back of someone's head—and the last thing moviegoers need is another "everyone is connected" story a la Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu ("Babel") or the superficial "Cloud Atlas."
Yet the film unfolds with ever-poignant anguish that's at war with familiar messages delivered in alternately affecting and melodramatic ways. A couple (Alexander Skarsgard, Paula Patton) torn apart by the loss of a child copes with identity theft; a reporter (Andrea Riseborough) attempts to write a feature on a boy (Max Theriot) who makes money by masturbating on a Web cam service (he's offended when she just wants to talk); busy parents (Jason Bateman, Hope Davis) struggle to connect with their teenage daughter and son Ben (Jonah Bobo), the latter finding comfort in a girl who contacts him via Facebook but actually is two male classmates whose idea of a prank inevitably goes too far.
Besides sneaking in a cameo for his previous subject Mark Zupan, "Murderball" director Henry-Alex Rubin helms "Disconnect" with a sleek patience that doesn't overemphasize the interconnectedness of the storylines. Andrew Stern's script gets tangled up with the reporter, Nina Dunham (no relation to Lena Dunham), who generates attention to her story that doesn't make sense on a large or small journalistic scale. (The Internet wasn't invented yesterday.)
Anyone who's seen or even heard of "Crash" or "Catfish" or David Schwimmer's unexpectedly strong sophomore directorial effort "Trust" will see redundancies and outdated characterizations in "Disconnect."
The movie hits home in honest ways, though, in its portrait of struggling families, and through the sympathetic turns by Bateman and Colin Ford, who plays one of the boys perpetrating the cruel joke on Ben. Friendless and quiet, Ben seeks refuge in the music of Sigur Ros, the Icelandic band whose music often features words in a made-up language. How beautiful and sad that it could ever feel like respite from the actual words anyone uses, or doesn't.
