Trial of Gaddafi's two sons, former officials gets underway
TRIPOLI: Saadi Gaddafi and Saif al-Islam, two of deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's sons, are expected to appear in court on Monday, facing charges of corruption and war crimes alongside more than 30 other Gaddafi-era officials.
The mass trial will be seen by the international community as a barometer for Libya's progress in establishing a democratic state after the chaotic 2011 revolution that ended four decades of Gaddafi's one-man rule.
Post-Gaddafi Libya has so far been defined by a weak interim government and growing unrest as former revolutionary fighters refuse to give up their weapons, and armed protesters blockade the country's crucial oil exports.
The North African state's nascent democracy is struggling to establish basic institutions and rule of law as Gaddafi left behind only a husk of a government after absorbing all the power into his own hands.
The trial will begin a day after interim prime minister Abdullah al-Thinni announced his resignation after an attack on his family and following the ousting of former prime minister barely one month ago.
"If they don't get fair trials then it casts doubt over whether the new Libya is not about selective justice," Hanan Salah, Libya researcher in the Middle East and North Africa division at Human Rights Watch said.
"So far, there have been problems with legal representation. Many of those on trial did not have a lawyer from the beginning – a cornerstone of a fair trial."
The International Criminal Court and other human rights organisations are concerned over the fairness of Libya's justice system although the government won the right last year to try Gaddafi's former spy chief domestically instead of at the ICC.
Saadi Gaddafi, known as a playboy with a brief career in professional soccer, was extradited to Libya from Niger in early March. He may appear in a Tripoli court for the first time to hear charges. But that may depend on whether investigators have finished gathering evidence.
The head of the government investigations could not confirm details about the trial.
"I think Saadi will not appear in court tomorrow, as investigations are still on-going," Libya's state prosecutor Abdelqadir Radwan told Reuters by phone late on Sunday.
Gaddafi's more prominent son, Saif al-Islam, long viewed as his heir, is expected to appear by video-link inside the courtroom. He is being held by the powerful western Zintan militia group, who have refused to hand him over to the central government they believe cannot provide a secure trial.
Gaddafi's ex-spy chief Abdullah al-Senussi will also appear in court on Monday along with the former foreign minister Abdul Ati al-Obeidi.
"We have had many cases where the defendants' lawyers were not allowed to review evidence and get access to court documents in the pre-trial phase (the pre-trial chamber)…" Salah said.
"In some other unrelated cases, judges and lawyers were harassed and there are allegations of forced confessions."
Libya's justice minister insisted that the trial was open the public who would ensure the process was fair and not turned into a "Mickey Mouse" show trial.
"I will not allow any crazy stuff, I will make sure it meets international standards … that is why we are having open trials," Salah al-Merghani, the justice minister told Reuters.
"We heard there were complaints from the lawyers… The court will see if the complaints are genuine or not." – Reuters

Feds: Ex-Fairfield Housing Authority director embezzled $30K
The case of the former Fairfield Housing Authority executive director who took a leave of absence, suddenly resigned and then turned up in a similar post in New Mexico took another twist last week when she was charged by federal authorities with embezzling at least $30,000 from the FHA.
Elizabeth Jo Gutierrez, 47, of Ridgefield, who oversaw the Fairfield Housing Authority for 19 months, pleaded not guilty Thursday at U.S. District Court in Hartford to a charge of theft from a program receiving federal funds. The charge carries a maximum 10-year sentence.
Before accepting the Fairfield job on Aug. 1, 2010, Gutierrez previously spent a dozen years employed at the Danbury Housing Authority. She also served on the Danbury Board of Education.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Donna Martinez granted Assistant U.S. Public Defender Paul Thomas' request to release Gutierrez on $50,000 bond, pending a trial before U.S. District Judge Robert Chatigny.
The single-count indictment obtained from a grand jury by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Beaty alleges that in July 2011, Gutierrez requested a quote for a data-entry project from an unidentified business. That business, however, was never actually hired, according to the indictment.
Gutierrez is accused of then issuing two Fairfield Housing Authority checks for $15,000 each made payable to the unidentified company, but depositing them into her own account instead.
"The town will be following this case closely," Fairfield First Selectman Michael Tetreau said.
Tetreau pointed out that the Fairfield Housing Authority, which helps low-income families, the disabled and senior citizens find apartments, is not part of town government, but a quasi-federal agency.
However, town officials said that as of December, the FHA still owed the town $65,000 out of what was a $165,000 shortfall in payroll processing. The other $100,000 had been repaid.
The authority, which manages 68 rental units in its Pine Tree Lane and Trefoil Court housing complexes, also has a $327,000 federal deficit, according to Fairfield officials.
Carol Martin, who succeeded Gutierrez, provided information to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development last spring about "some suspect transactions" at the Fairfield Housing Authority, which prompted an investigation.
Gutierrez took a leave of absence for six to eight weeks from her Fairfield post in December 2011 and then submitted a letter of resignation on Dec. 31, 2011.
Shortly afterward, she surfaced in Truth or Consequences, N.M., as the executive director of that community's housing authority.
However, Gutierrez was terminated from that job in November after Truth or Consequences Housing Authority Board Chairman Greg D'Amour said, "She didn't meet the expectations of the authority."
Prior to coming to Fairfield, Gutierrez also had been the director of four New York statewide housing programs. Gutierrez took the post in August 2010. She succeeded Marilyn McNee, who was hired to replace Charles Feld, and held the job three years.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 141 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
We are a growing real estate team in the Northern Virginia area (DC Metro area). We have been using video to attract, teach and facilitate home buyers in their buying process for some time now. However, we have not put all the pieces together on a web 2.0 website until now.
We want to be a dominate force in our market, rank in the top five in the search engines, and be the most visible team brand in our area.
This website could possible become the model for other real estate teams across America as we would later teach other agents how to dominate their markets with the use of video.
We are starting with our local real estate market.
Our audience consists of people that appreciate a new way of experiencing the home buying and selling process. Using videos to teach & communicate with visitors on the website, allowing buyers to save time and money, and offering our sellers more exposure for their homes.
The image part of the logo (meaning that which does not include the name 'Preview Homes') should be able to stand alone and be independently recognizable.....and should be able to denote the use of video. I would imagine that there could be some type of house outline/silhouette.
I also want the logo to highlight or bring attention to the fact that this is not a '.com' domain, but rather a '.tv' domain.
Initial thoughts have been to have a '.tv' inside a home outline at the tale end of the URL......***However, please don't let this statement limit your creativity***
A maximum of two (maybe three) colors should be used. Possible colors are: RED, GOLD, ORANGE, GREEN ...and of course BLACK. This is my current order of preference. Think of bright & bold colors that would stand out on a FOR SALE sign and/or sign rider. I have attached the RE/MAX for sale sign for you to see their use of color.
ALSO....I tend to lean towards horizontal designs. Compared to logo at top with domain below.

Henry Prince and Sarah Jane Elson are my 4x great grandparents, and I can't seem to get any further back than them, particularly on Sarah's side. So, I'm trying to find ways of gaining any bits of information about them I can, in hopes of one day having a breakthrough. So today, I focused on a woman named Mary, who I believe is Sarah's mother.
I have two censuses records for Sarah Jane Elson: 1871 and 1881. In the 1881 census, there's a 75 year old woman named Mary Elson living with Henry and Sarah and their family. It's very likely that this is Sarah's mother. Today, it occured to me that she is not living with Henry and Sarah in the 1871 census, so I decided to search for her there.
When I searched the 1871 census for Mary Elson, I found this person, who is about the right age. She is a widow, living with the Flint family (the wife's name is Ann). So I searched FamilySearch.org for Ann Elson with a spouse whose last name is Flint (because I couldn't quite make out his first name). Right away, I got a birth record for a girl whose parents are Perney Flint (which definitely appears to match the census record!) and Ann Elson. So, if this Mary Elson is Sarah Jane Elson's mother, Ann would most likely be her sister. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find a marriage record for either of the Elson girls, which might provide the names of the parents.
For some time, I've also had an 1852 census record sitting around that might be Sarah Jane and her family. It's starting to look more promising now. Her mother is Mary Elson, and she has a sister named Ann. One major downside to the 1852 census, is that it doesn't separate family groups, and doesn't state relationships between family members. The Elsons are listed right after a man named Thomas Gooderham, who is around the same age as Mary. So, he could be her husband, Sarah's father, but that would mean that for some reason the children were given their mother's name. Or, he could just be the guy next door, and Mary is a single mother. (She's awfully young to be a widow, but it is certainly possible.)
Update: I looked at the original image, and Mary Elson has a W in the residence field, which most likely means she was a widow, despite being only 29 years old. So Thomas Gooderham is probably unrelated. Imagine being 29 and widowed, with 4 children! :(
More to come on these two, since they frustrate me so!

Slight progress on Sarah Jane Elson

Another possibility is that Thomas Gooderham was Mary's brother, or a cousin. It wasn't uncommon for widows to go keep house for their unmarried male relatives, or to have their own household on a brother's land.ReplyDeleteReplies
I hadn't thought of that possibility. Thanks for the tip!Delete
I just wish they'd separated households on the 1852 census! It would have saved so much uncertainty.

Not impressed until they put every fucking thing back on text files you can edit on notepad++.
We don't need fancy map editors and mythical in-house Source engine-style tools, we need just the very *possibility* to fuck around with things in the first place. Leave it to the modders to fix your AI (as best they can), balance your factions, modify and prettify your maps, and even replicate Middle Earth as they did for M2TW. Modders are creative, they give games shelf life. Screw your expansions, I'm not paying anymore (and to think the first Shogun was the first game I ever bought for myself).
Yeah, I'm still pissed their so-called map editor for Shogun 2 was just for the battle map and they still locked off the campaign map and the AI.
It's great the games look better than ever and all, but wouldn't it look even better if people could use that magnificent, magnificent engine to recreate Minas Tirith or something? Not to mention, I'm wary because I'm on the historically accurate faction of CA's fanbase and had been on it since I encountered the chariot-racing Pharoahs and naked Celts in the first RTW, a game where shitty Roman equites was somehow a far better unit than proper Hellenistic hetairoi, until every big mod out there fixed it and made things right.

When Alexander the Great started his trek to the East, he came into contact with Asian Elephants and that's how they started getting integrated to various armies in the west.
Carthage and other nations used a sub-species of the African Elephant which were a lot smaller and as already stated they are now extinct.
On that matter CA just released a WORKSHOP for Total War Shogun II which pretty much puts it on par with Skyrim and TF2 where we can mod it and share with others.

If cities were that big based on your improvements for it. And you're able to build siege, and spend more time in the battle screen then you are in the campaign screen. Then this will just be a masterpiece.

Rome Total War is probably one of the best game i ever played. But i hope that Creative Assembly are not digging their heel again this time, with their flagship game, RTW finally is revived for their 25th year Anniversary
What i means is: since RTW, every game after that has almost the case of same game with different skins. Medieval 2, admittedly i didn't play much, but Empire and Shogun 2..... almost all units was the same without historical feature that make them special in the first place. And hence you can easily pick out a game breaker selection to roll through the map without oppositions. Empire was by massing large number with cannon. Shogun was by having medium-size archer groups and hole into castles to lure enemy into eliminating themselves.
I really hopes that they will consider these 3 points for this new RTW2, and actually evolve the Total War Series, rather than just another RTW with more stunning graphic skins:

From Windowsill Herbs to Garden Plots: Gardening Inspiration From Our Tours
How do you make things grow? Some cooks are blessed to have full-on backyard gardens, while others tend a small herb pot or two on their kitchen windowsill. To see the many varied ways gardening takes shape in our kitchens, I went back through our Kitchen Tour archives for inspiration. From porch pots to a courtyard grape vine (yes!), here are 10 ways real cooks have brought a little green into their kitchen life:
- Victor and Rajiv's Colorful, Collected Kitchen (and Garden!)
- Linsay's Vegan Garden-to-Table Kitchen
- Amy and Christian's Neat and Tidy Kitchen
- Orvin and Donna's Cabin in the City Kitchen
- Americans in The Hague: Sonia's Warm and Welcoming International Kitchen
- Shawna's Glamorous Custom Kitchen
- Claire Cottrell's Sweet Silver Lake Kitchen
- Lauren Scott's Charming Petaluma Kitchen
- Tara's Hardworking Writer's Kitchen

by Aloisio Assis and Zoe Hogan, ChildFund Timor-Leste
Rosita is no stranger to the difficulty of feeding a family. For more than 20 years, she has been farming a small plot of land, growing what vegetables and crops she can, to support her 10 children. A few months of each year, Rosita and her family experience the "hungry time," when harvests are sparse. During this time, some families sell a pig or some chickens to buy enough rice to eat, while others struggle to make do.
"Sometimes we didn't have enough food," Rosita says. "Normally, the children would eat three times a day, but when we didn't have enough food they had to eat less. Sometimes we didn't have very nutritious food, but we just had to eat what we could find."
Rosita has been farming for decades but just recently learned about new farming techniques that could help her feed her children throughout the year. In 2011, she joined a farmer's group assisted through ChildFund Korea's food security program. Since then, ChildFund Timor-Leste has worked closely with that group to facilitate training sessions on horticulture and coffee production and has provided farming tools.
For Rosita, the training sessions have already had an impact – she now sorts through her coffee harvest, dividing the beans in terms of quality. As a result, she can sell her high-quality coffee beans for a better price and increase her overall income.
Rosita is also now able to grow enough vegetables to feed her family and sell the extras. Twice a year, at the end of each harvest, she earns an estimated US$200 from selling her surplus crops. She uses the additional income to cover school costs for her children and other basic needs of her family. "With the money from vegetable harvests, I can buy uniforms, books, pens and bags," she says.
Through the provision of seeds, vegetable cuttings and a new water tank, ChildFund Timor-Leste is also helping to establish a small aquaculture enterprise in Rosita's community. Farmers are able to grow more, which increases farm productivity and enhances the nutritional value of families' meals.
"During the hungry time from January to March, we usually just eat cassava, maize, jackfruit and bananas. We had to conserve foods so we'd have enough to eat at that time of year," says Rosita. "The project is supporting us with seeds and cuttings to plant in our farm."
After school, Rosita's 9-year-old daughter Elia sometimes helps her mother by watering the vegetables. She says her favorite vegetable from her family's farm is black mustard. If the farm continues to improve, Elia will have the opportunity to pursue an education, an accomplishment Rosita has experienced with only one of her children.

All I Want Lyrics
I'm always screaming my lungs out
'til my head starts spinning.
Playing my songs is the way I cope with life.
Won't keep my voice down,
Know the words I speak are the thoughts I think out loud.
I like to keep things honest;
I'm a safe bet like your life's staked on it, for real.
I'd hate to keep, keep you all wondering.
I'm a constant like the seasons,
And I will never be a forgotten man.
Let's leave no words unspoken
And save regrets for the broken.
Will you even look back when you think of me?
All I want is a place to call my own,
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone.
You know to keep you hopes up high and your head down low.
Still got something left to prove.
It tends to keep things moving,
While everyone around me says my last days are looming overhead.
But just what the hell do they know?
I keep my head above the water while they drown in the undertow.
If you take it from me,
Live your life for yourself,
'cause when it's all said and done, you don't need anyone else.
So let's get back to when everything seemed perfect,
Not a worry in the world, so tell me was it all worth it?
I get what I want, so everyone's always judging me,
I'm not afraid of anything and I've got the whole world in front of me.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) team ranking that was released on Thursday evening, the MIT men's tennis team remained 20th in the nation for Division III. The Engineers remain undefeated with a record of 10-0, having blanked exactly half of their opponents.
MIT are sixth in the Northeast regional ranking, having moved up two spots from the start of the season. For the first time this season, two individuals and one doubles team are also ranked: junior Edwin Zhang (Falls Church, Va.), who is 6-2 at No.1, is sixth and senior Larry Pang (Torrance, Calif.), who is 3-2 at No.2, is 22nd. Zhang and fellow junior Curtis Wu (Yorba Linda, Calif.) are 12th with their record of 6-2 in the top spot.
In their match last Saturday against Stevens Institute of Technology, who are 14th in the Northeast region, the Engineers came from behind after trailing 2-1 following doubles to win the match, 6-3.
After hosting ten consecutive matches in the past month, MIT will travel to Norton, Mass. on Saturday, March 30 to face NEWMAC rival, Wheaton College for a 1:00 p.m. match.

Bill Gates invests $50 million of his own money to fight Alzheimer's Disease
LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) - Bill Gates announced he's investing $50 million of his own money to fight Alzheimer's Disease.
According to the Alzheimer's Association, people have a 50 percent chance of developing the disease after the age of 85.
Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer's.
Gates wrote on his website he has personal experience with the disease, as several men in his family have had it.
"I know how awful it is to watch people you love struggle as the disease robs them of their mental capacity, and there is nothing you can do about it. It feels a lot like you're experiencing a gradual death of the person that you knew," he wrote.
Gates says he's spent time with academics, researchers, funders, and industry experts and believes progress can be made in the following five areas:
- Understanding how Alzheimer's unfolds
- Early detection and diagnosis
- More approaches to stopping the disease
- Making it easier for people to get involved in clinical trials
- Using available data more efficiently
He believes that by improving in those areas, there can be an "intervention that drastically reduces the impact of Alzheimer's."
Gates' money will be going to the Dementia Discovery Fund, a private fund that works "to diversify the clinical pipeline and identify new targets for treatment."
The Alzheimer's Assocation says Gates' multidemensional approach to the disease is crucial.
Officials say they're learning more about the brain, and how it changes throughout a person's life.
The assocation is leading the following initiatives:
- Data sharing through the Global Alzheimer's Assocation Interactive Network
- Clinical trials examining the impact of lifestyle interventions through the U.S. Study to Protect Brain Health Through Lifestyle Intervention to Reduce Risk
- Large-scale early detection efforts such as the World Wide Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative and Imaging Dementia - Evidence for Amyloid Scanning
The association says these are just a few examples of their efforts to accelerate progress and increase the nation's federal commitment to Alzheimer's research.
According to the Alzheimer's Association, research funding at the National Institutes of Health has nearly tripled and yet, "this amount is still not suffiecient to create the progress needed to achieve the bipartisan, federal commitment to prevent and effectively treat Alzheimer's by 2025."
"Having Bill Gates declare his dedication to making an impact on accelerating progress is great for the cause. We extend our deep thanks to Bill Gates for his commitment to moving the Alzheimer's cause forward even faster, and extend our open arms in working together to achieve a world without Alzheimer's," the association wrote.

The state's congressional delegation is requesting that the Federal Emergency Management Agency suspend and amend new flood maps state-wide after the town of Rockport successfully argued that the wave methodology used across the region is flawed.
QUINCY – The state's congressional delegation has requested that the Federal Emergency Management Agency suspend and amend new flood maps across the state after Rockport successfully argued that the wave methodology used for the region is flawed.Two coastal scientists who U.S. Rep. William Keating, D-Bourne, asked to analyze Marshfield's new flood maps, found that FEMA developed the maps for all of Massachusetts using outdated wave methodology better suited to the Pacific coast. This finding was the basis for Rockport's appeal, which FEMA accepted.
"The appeal proves that FEMA used the incorrect models, just as the UMass Dartmouth report indicated, and it's one more verification that those findings are on target," Keating said in a phone interview from Washington D.C. Monday night.
The new flood maps expand flood zones and drastically increase the water elevation in many communities, meaning higher insurance premiums for thousands of property owners. Others would be required to pay flood insurance for the first time.
FEMA announced several weeks ago a delay in the implementation of Plymouth County's maps for at least a year while it answers appeals from Marshfield and Scituate. But new maps for Norfolk County that include Quincy, Weymouth and Cohasset, are still scheduled to take effect in June.
John Ramsey, a coastal engineer from Applied Coastal Research Inc. in Mashpee, and Brian Howes, director of the Coastal Systems Program at UMass-Dartmouth's School for Marine Science and Technology, found that FEMA used a mapping method fit for the Pacific coast, where the wave periods are much longer and the beaches are straighter, instead of developing a correct approach for New England.
The weakness of the Pacific model is that it's based only on empirical data, rather than site-specific physics, Ramsey said. As a result, he said FEMA likely over-predicted flooding that would occur during a 100-year storm for much of the state.
Keating presented the findings to FEMA in a letter sent Dec. 20 requesting a delay of the implementation of the maps. In response, FEMA said communities had to demonstrate the methodology was incorrect.
Rockport did just that, proving in an appeal that there is a better model to reflect the Atlantic coast wave pattern. FEMA approved the findings and agreed to amend Rockport's maps.
Keating said the size of Rockport's flood plain at Long Beach was significantly reduced by the appeal.
In a letter sent to FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate on Monday, all 11 members of the state's congressional delegation argue that, by accepting the Rockport appeal, FEMA set a precedent that the so-called SWAN model is more accurate for the state that the methodology used on the new maps.
"We believe that the Commonwealth's remaining counties should be held to the same standard," the letter states.
According to the letter, FEMA funded a study for the mid-Atlantic coast that used the rigorous, physics-based approach, resulting in lower wave setup values than what the method used for Massachusetts predicted.
Keating attributed FEMA's failure to consistently use the more accurate approach to the tight timetable it had to work within.
"As an agency, they didn't have the resources to do this correctly," Keating said. "It takes time, and they need to get it right."
The delegation is asking FEMA to suspend the new flood maps and work on a plan to amend them using the appropriate physics-based modeling. The letter requests that FEMA inform the delegation in writing by March 7 of it's proposed plan to correct the maps.

Teen health program fights obesity, depression
A skills-building program offered as part of high school health classes may help prevent obesity, depression and drinking among teenagers, a new study suggests.
"Our hope is that schools after seeing these outcomes will say, 'Hey, we want to implement this in our curriculum,'" Bernadette Melnyk, from The Ohio State University in Columbus, told Reuters Health.
"We're talking about 15 hours in a high schooler's education that can have some pretty profound positive (outcomes)."
Melnyk developed the COPE (Creating Opportunities for Personal Empowerment) Healthy Lifestyles TEEN (Thinking, Emotions, Exercise, Nutrition) program, and is the lead author of the new study.
One-third of young people in the U.S. are overweight or obese, she and her team note. Obese teens are at higher risk of depression and are more likely to perform poorly in school.
However, most programs targeting youth obesity don't also address mental health, Melnyk said.
"Unless we change the way that people are thinking, there's less likelihood that any behavioral change is going to sustain," she added.
The COPE program is designed to help teenagers recognize and change irrational and negative thoughts.
"We teach the teens that how they think directly relates to how they feel and how they behave," Melnyk said.
Other components include education on healthy lifestyles, self-esteem building, goal-setting and problem-solving, coping with stress and regulating emotion and behavior. Each of the 15 weekly sessions also includes 20 minutes of walking, dancing or other exercise.
To investigate the effects of the program, the researchers enrolled 14- to 16-year-olds taking health education classes at 11 high schools in the southwestern U.S.
Students at one set of randomly-selected schools participated in the COPE program and others were assigned to a program called Healthy Teens, which focused on topics like road safety and skin care.
In total, 374 teenagers were chosen to take part in COPE and 433 in Healthy Teens.
Immediately after the 15-week program, teens who participated in COPE were taking more steps per day - 13,681 versus 9,619 - based on pedometer readings.
They also had a lower average body mass index, a measure of weight in relation to height, than their peers who participated in Healthy Teens. The effect was small, however - equivalent to about a one-pound difference in weight.
Thirteen percent of the students in COPE reported having had at least one alcoholic drink in the past month, versus 20 percent of those enrolled in Healthy Teens.
Six months later, the proportion of teens that were overweight had fallen in the COPE group - from 44 percent before the program to 41 percent after. The opposite trend was seen among the Healthy Teens group, the researchers wrote in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
According to the students, the most helpful aspects of the program were the sections on stress and coping and nutrition and exercise.
Deborah Gonzalez was working as the assistant superintendent at one of the school districts included in the study. She has since joined ASU Preparatory Academies in Tempe, Arizona, as chief academic officer, and has helped the school expand COPE into a year-long program.
"We've been using it now for the past three years as a required course for all freshmen," Gonzalez told Reuters Health.
"The anecdotal feedback that we get from the students is that they are much more aware and conscious of being healthy and making healthy choices."
Gonzalez said teachers have also observed that students have more positive attitudes after taking part in the course.
"It's less about not being negative in their thinking and more about being empowered," she added.
"They truly feel like they can come up with solutions to problems, and they can be the people who positively and proactively decide what's going to happen ... they see themselves as students who are smart and capable and students who can help one another."

A variant of this post first appeared on my Psychology Today blog on November 16, 2010.
Why is the story of Harry Potter so appealing? The success of the series depends on engaging characters and compelling storytelling-it's a classic tale of good vs. evil and a coming of age story. That's true, but many stories have those qualities. I think there's a deeper magic at work here, one that capitalizes on a pervasive cognitive illusion. It's a cognitive illusion that underlies almost all fantasy (and much science fiction) writing and that contributes to the success of countless movies and television shows. It involves a sort of wish fulfillment.
As a child, I fantasized about how my life would change if I suddenly discovered my "Spiderman" powers and could scale buildings. Or, I envisioned how radically my life would change if I could figure out how to teleport myself instantly from one location to another (most of that fantasizing emerged when I was trudging home from school). Perhaps you have had similar fantasies, or maybe yours were more mundane: imagining discovering you had tremendous athletic prowess at a sport you had never tried or that you would be a virtuoso musician if you just found the right instrument.
We all, at times, fall prey to the illusion of potential-the belief that we can acquire skills or abilities with minimal effort or practice. The illusion of potential relies on the corollary belief that we have vast pools of untapped brain power just waiting to be released. The myth that we only use 10% of our brain is a direct statement of this idea. Hucksters use the belief in untapped potential to sell everything from miracle exercise regimens (great results with minimal effort) to ultra-fast speed reading. Self-claimed psychics argue that they discovered their abilities. Mentalists and magicians know that their audiences are likely to find appeals to untapped potential compelling and use them liberally in their patter.
Not surprisingly, popular culture gives people what they want. The idea of untapped potential is a staple of fantasy books and movies. In fact, it might well be the defining feature of classic fantasy writing; the central character discovers a hidden ability they didn't know they had. One of the common features of science fiction writing involves changing one element of how the universe works and then playing out the consequences. In many cases, that defining characteristic involves untapped potential (e.g., Verner Vinge's brilliantly conceived idea of "Focus" in his award-winning novels A Fire Upon The Deep and A Deepness In The Sky).
The theme of untapped potential pervades television dramas. The subtitle of NBC's hit series Heroes actually restates the definition of untapped potential: "ordinary people discovering extraordinary abilities." The success of Heroes inspired a slew of shows with the same theme: CBS's The Mentalist features a detective with "unusual powers of observation," ABC's Section 8 was about "especially brainy individuals," and Fox's Lie to Me centers on "a man who uses his preternatural skill at reading body language to help solve mysteries." (Note that Lie to Me is based loosely on Paul Ekman, a prominent psychologist and expert on face perception. If Ekman has exceptional skill in reading faces, it's because he spent decades studying and training, not because he had some secret talent.) The "untapped potential" plotline is one of the oldest forms of narrative, the rags-to-riches story in which a character finds themselves suddenly transformed, revealing the princess hidden in the lowly servant.
The illusion of potential and the fantasy of discovering hidden powers helps explain the exceptional popularity of Harry Potter. In the books, some people have magical abilities waiting to be revealed and other people are "muggles." Yes, they hone those skills, but the abilities are there waiting to be discovered and released. That one element-the discovery of a previously unknown ability that reveals itself with little effort or work-is central to the story's success. It taps our fantasies and cognitive illusions. The Harry Potter stories allow us to vicariously experience the ability to teleport ourselves home from school. It's cognitive illusion wish fulfillment at its best.

Free example essay on Racism:
The texts Mississippi Burning directed by Alan Parker, A Time To Kill by Joel Schumacher and Ghosts Of Mississippi by Rob Reiner explore the mistreatment of Negroes living in America`s South with a non-racist view. The three tests all explore the theme of racism and Negroes trying to reach the equilibrium with the white communities of Mississippi.
Parker`s Mississippi Burning is based on the Ku Klux Klan`s murders of three civil rights workers in 1964. A Time To Kill by Joel Schumacher is about a Negro Father who takes the law into his own hands after the legal system fails to condemn the two white men who raped and beat his daughter. Rob Reiner`s Ghost Of Mississippi is a true story about a white supremacist accused of the murder of NAACP officer Medgar Evers, 30 years after he was shot down in his driveway. Racism, Negroes gaining power and cinematic symbolism are all evident in the three texts, which made the films entertaining and also made the viewer feel quite empathetic towards the Negro`s.

If you want the perfect combination of glamour and sex appeal for your Halloween costume this year, then the sexy angel costume is exactly what you should be! The very best part about dressing up as an angel for Halloween is that there really are no rules at all. Of course the typical angel is all white and sparkle, but we have definitely seen some other interpretations of this sexy costume. However I am a sucker for the traditional sexy white angel complete with feather angel wings and halo. As far as the rest of the costume goes the possibilities are endless!
So maybe your angel wings won't be quite as large and gorgeous as a Victoria's Secret Angel on the runway, but that doesn't mean you can't pull off a just as stunning version of this sexy look. No matter what model or celeb is rocking angel wings, there is always some sparkle! Rhinestones and glitter will always compliment a heavenly angel costume and as far as I am concerned there is no such thing as too much sparkle. Mariah Carey chose a sexy white corset for her angel costume with hubby Nick Cannon and this works perfect for her sexy curvy shape. If you want to show a little more skin, we always love an angel in a cute white bikini!
There are so many angel costumes out there, but if you really want to stand out, then pair those angel wings with some sexy designer swimwear. The Rich Girl White Bikini is a dreamy white swimsuit with rhinestone hardware that will give you that glam look for your angel costume. Of course a hot little number like this one isn't only for playing dress up, every girl needs a little white bikini in their collection! You can shop the Lady Lux boutique online for white designer bikinis and other sexy swimsuits to complete your Halloween look.

The white-nosed coati is similar to its relative. Head-body length ranges from 46-69 cm, the tail from 49-62 cm, the hind foot from 9-15 cm, and the body-weight is around 4.5 kg. The narrow, elongated head ends in a very flexible snout which the coati pokes under rocks and into crevices in search for food. The ears are short and rounded, the tail is thick-furred but not bushy and tapering at the end.
The colour of the upper parts is dark brown, on the shoulders or entire fore quarters are grizzled grey. The head is sometimes rusty brown, muzzle and chin are white, extending as white stripes above the eyes, and there are other white spots above and behind the eyes. The ears are lined with white. Tail and feet are dark brown. There may be inconspicuous lighter rings on the tail. Throat and chest are frosted white, the belly may be dark brown or frosted white. Specimens from more arid areas may be paler.
Coatis are diurnal terrestrial and arboreal. Males are often solitary, females and young travel in groups of up to 30 animals. Members of active groups emit constant soft whining sounds. Alarm calls consist of explosive woofs and clicks. When alarmed, all members of a group climb halfway up a tree to look. After a few moments they drop down and disperse in the undergrowth. At night, coatis sleep in a tree top.
Coatis are opportunistic omnivorous feeders eating fruit, invertebrates, like beetles, grubs, ants, termites, spiders and scorpions, and small vertebrates, including lizards, snakes, and rodents. They also take carrion One of its favorite fruits is prickly pear.
Did you know?
That coatis are hunted for their meat by local people, who sometimes have dogs trained for this purpose? If cornered on the ground by a dog, a coati can inflict serious woulds with its large an sharp canine teet.

hmmm..looks just like that linux/opera screenshot on my IE6/PC and FF1.5/PC.
i'd echo martin's comment: the fact that unstyled blockquotes do not get quotes by default is on par with IE's lack of quotes around the Q element…a shortcoming in the browser default stylesheets and thus not my personal concern. but yeah, if i had to do it, this would be an interesting way around the issue.

Amazon on Monday announced the immediate availability of version 4.1.0 of the software that runs on the $79 Kindle--the non-touch screen version with no keyboard referred to as the Kindle With Special Offers (4th generation). The free update will install automatically via Wi-Fi over the next few weeks, but you can download it directly from Amazon and install it now instead.
The update includes an "improved" font that Amazon says is "higher contrast and crisper" for a better reading experience. Also new are parental controls for restricting access to features like the Web browser, archived items, and the Kindle Store.
The software update also brings support for new book types: Books with complex layouts, books using Kindle Format 8, children's books with Kindle Text Pop-Up, and comic books with Kindle Panel View will all work with the 4.1.0 update installed.
Rounding out the updates are better dictionary organization and improved table and image viewing (with panning and zooming) on support titles.

Author Notes: There is a dish at Fonda, a fantastic Mexican restaurant that opened up near our apartment last year, that I order every time we go there. It's called fish salpicon. It's basically a cooked ceviche, served with homemade corn tortillas (I like to add a dollop of their homemade guacamole and make my own taco). I decided to try to recreate it. I used tilapia, which I thought would flake nicely, and I lightly coated the fish in Wondra before sautéing it, which gave it a nice crisp crust. Mine didn't turn out exactly like Fonda's, but I liked it anyway: it's an easy dish to whip up as an hors d'oeuvre (serve it with chips instead of tortillas), or as a light supper for one. —Merrill Stubbs
Serves: 2 for dinner, 4 as an hors d'oeurve
cup Wondra
Salt and pepper
pound tilapia (2 fillets)
Vegetable oil
small hot chili (Serrano, bird chili, etc.), seeded and finely chopped
scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
Large handful cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
Corn tortillas or chips
Sliced avocado (optional)
- Put the Wondra in a shallow dish and season generously with salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Dredge the tilapia in the Wondra, patting gently to remove any excess.
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add a thin film of oil. Add the fish to the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown on one side, and then flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the fish to a cutting board and let it cool for a few minutes. Flake the fish with two forks, or chop it roughly with a sharp knife.
- In a medium bowl, combine the fish with the chili, scallions and cilantro. Squeeze one lime over the top and fold gently to combine. Taste and add more lime and salt if necessary. Serve in a pretty bowl with the tortillas and chips, and avocado if you like.

ELGIN, Ill., Feb. 21 (UPI) -- An Illinois woman said a 1980 class ring she returned to its owner apparently spent 25 years in the dirt in her yard.
Melissa Patterson of Elgin said she was raking her yard in the fall when she discovered the ring with an inscription that read "Schaumburg High School" and "Class of 1980," the year she was born, the Elgin Courier-News reported Thursday.
"I was curious to find out how this got in my yard," she said. "I was curious about it, and I've always been really good with the Internet. It just so happened everything clicked together."
Patterson said she followed a Facebook trail to find Beth Orticelli, whose last name had changed multiple times since her maiden name was engraved on the ring in high school.
Patterson said she sent Orticelli an email at her listed St. Charles Community Unit School District 303 address, but months went by without a response. She said she eventually decided the email must have ended up in a junk folder and sent the other woman a Facebook message.
"It was so shocking when I read the messages to me, and then it was so exciting to go over to meet her," Orticelli said. "It was such a great act of kindness you don't see every day."
Orticelli said she and a friend traded rings decades ago, and Patterson said the friend was one of the previous residents of her house.

Windows Phone 8.1 is the follow up to Windows Phone 8, which rolled out to devices rather quickly. Despite it's strengths, Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 platform is not without its flaws. In this roundup, we take a look at common WP8 issues that have been reported by users, and we try to find workarounds and solutions to quickly deal with them. If you've encountered any of these Windows Phone 8 problems and you know of a good solution that hasn't been mentioned, then please post a comment and we'll add it as soon as we can.
Problem: Black screen during calls
A lot of few people have encountered persistent problems with their screen going black whenever they make or receive a call on their Windows Phone 8 device. This makes it unresponsive, so it's difficult to cancel or end the call.
- If you tap the Power button twice the screen should blink back to life, but you may have to act quickly to end the call.
Potential fixes:
- This is likely an issue with the proximity sensor. Make sure that you don't have a screen protector covering it. It's located next to the front-facing camera at the top of the phone.
- You should also make sure there's no dirt covering it. Give it a wipe or try using compressed air on the top edge to blast any dust away.
- Some people have reported success by pushing on the screen where the proximity sensor is located.
- You could ask for a replacement unit, although some people have encountered the same issue on more than one device.
Glitch: Camera not working
Some people have had problems with their camera on their Windows Phone 8 device. In some cases, the camera button and camera app icon simply don't seem to trigger anything. In other cases, a message will appear about the camera failing to initialize.
- Try pressing and holding the camera button for a couple of seconds and see if that starts it.
- Press and hold the volume down button and the power button together for 10 seconds. Your phone will restart and the camera should be working again, but the problem might reoccur.
Potential fixes:
- Make sure that your software is up to date; check your device manufacturer's website.
- Back up any important files and reset your phone via Settings > About > Reset your phone.
- If the problem persists, then it's time to talk to your retailer, carrier, or manufacturer about a replacement handset.
Problem: Duplicate songs
A lot of people have run into issues with their music collections on Windows Phone 8 devices. Sometimes songs appear twice, or even three times. If you look in the folder on your phone there will only be one track, but in the music app you'll see multiple copies. Unfortunately, this can be a tricky problem to solve.
- A few people have found that turning off Xbox Music cloud collection helps. Go to Start > Music + Videos > More > Settings and turn off Xbox Music cloud collection.
Potential fix:
- Make sure that you have a complete back up of your music collection.
- Now delete all of the music on your phone and on your SD card.
- Make sure that you back up anything precious on your phone and reset it via Settings > About > Reset your phone.
- Put the SD card into your PC and reformat it.
- Create a folder called Music on the blank card and manually drag and drop all the music you want into that folder.
- Now put the SD card back into your phone and wait for it to update.
- When you want to add new tracks take the SD card out of the phone and put it in your computer and drag and drop the new track into the folder, then put the card back in your phone.
Bug: 'Other' storage filling up
A lot of people suffer from a flaw in the WP8 system which caused the available storage to gradually fill up. Go into Settings > Phone storage and tap on the bar to get a breakdown of categories and see how much space your music and videos, pictures, apps, and system are taking up. There's also an 'other' category which covers attachments from emails, app & game data, and other temporary files. Unfortunately, this category fills up and there is no way of clearing it out without wiping the phone.
Potential solutions:
- Microsoft's GDR2 update addressed this bug. The "other" category will still fill up, but it should be automatically cleared out when the storage reaches capacity.
- Nokia released a Storage Check tool which can help you gain an insight into what is eating up space and clear away temporary files.
- There is also a free app called Shrink Storage which enables you to fill your storage and then restart your device and trigger the clear up to empty it out.
Problem: Push notifications not working
It's fairly common to encounter issues with push notifications. Sometimes updates do not come through to your device like they should. This can result in issues with apps like Facebook or WhatsApp where no notifications come through, but when you open the app there are a ton of updates queued up. Many Windows Phone 8 users have been complaining about push notifications not working properly on the platform with a number of popular apps. There are some things you can try.
- Try restarting your device by holding down the Power button for 10 seconds then tapping to turn it on again.
Potential solutions:
- Check your Wi-Fi or data connection. Poor coverage will impact on push notifications. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced and tick the box next to Keep WiFi on when screen times out.
- Go to Settings and make sure that Battery saver isn't turned on as it can disconnect you in order to save power.
- If you are using your network, then make sure that your data limit hasn't been exceeded. You should also check your limits in the Data Sense app and make sure it isn't restricting you.
- Uninstall the app you are having a problem with, restart your device, then reinstall the app to see if that helps.
- Some people reported success by turning Location and Find my phone in Settings off or on and then restarting the device.

As a homeowner, taxpayer and senior citizen in Onslow County, I am concerned about the passage of the requested $75 million school bond.
To the editor:
As a homeowner, taxpayer and senior citizen in Onslow County, I am concerned about the passage of the requested $75 million school bond.
I read in The Daily News that, when polled, most of school board and administration preferred someone with the ability to raise money for the school system as superintendent.
After seeing how Onslow County Schools rated when compared to most local, state and national school systems, one would think they would prefer someone with the ability, experience, knowledge and desire to change our failing schools and educate our kids to compete for jobs or college. Surely the school board and school administrators know why our schools fail year after year with more money.
If the problem is mandates or other rules coming from Raleigh, call our legislators; they are not in bed with teachers union and are really concerned with our children�s education. Find out how Carteret County schools meet and exceed state and national standards with property-tax rates half of what ours are now.
I saw nothing in the request for the bond that would improve one student�s reading, writing or math scores.
I would like to ask school board members and administrators their advice to seniors on fixed incomes where they should cut to pay for this bond. Seniors are seeing increases in costs of food, gas, electricity, drugs, medical care, home insurance, flood insurance, car insurance and every necessity they must have to survive. These are people that have worked to support themselves, no government check. They do not qualify nor do they want one.
Please explain to them why they should shut up and vote for this bond. Suzie Ulbrich said meeting attendance was like it had been in previous years when the bonds passed. I have little doubt it will pass this time, too.
May I suggest one possible solution to our county commissioners? If the homeowner is 65 years old or older and has lived in the house 10 years, lock the tax rate in at that date. It could decrease if rates fall but not increase.
They have paid to educate their children. Now their children are paying to educate their children. They have earned the right to have a decent life without being taxed out of their home.

'Jimmy Kimmel Live' Heading to SXSW
Jimmy Kimmel is taking his late-night show to Texas for the South by Southwest festival.
ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" said Thursday it will air five shows in March from Austin. The Texas city hosts the international showcase for music, film and interactive projects that's in its 28th year.
Kimmel's guests will include celebrities and musical performers from South by Southwest. Comedy segments shot at the festival and around Texas also will be part of the shows.
"Jimmy Kimmel Live" will air from Austin beginning March 10. Kimmel quipped that he'll be the guy "covered in barbeque sauce."
His show's visit to South by Southwest comes just weeks after NBC's "Tonight Show" passes in February from host Jay Leno in Los Angeles to Jimmy Fallon in New York.
A year ago, Kimmel moved his show back a half-hour, to 11:35 p.m. Eastern, in direct competition with "Tonight" and David Letterman's show on CBS.
The road trip is Kimmel's first since his time slot change. In 2012, the show visited New York for a week and posted one of its top-rated weeks in its nearly 11-year run.
