Omega-3 improves working memory in healthy young adults
October 31, 2012
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have determined that healthy young adults ages 18–25 can improve their working memory by increasing their Omega-3 fatty acid intake.
Before they began taking the supplements, all participants were asked to perform a working memory test in which they were shown a series of letters and numbers. The young adults had to keep track of what appeared one, two, and three times prior, known as a simple "n-back test."
After six months of taking Lovaza — an Omega-3 supplement approved by the FDA (and similar to over-the-counter fish oil supplements) — the participants were asked to complete this series of outpatient procedures again, which showed improved working memory of this population.

Beware Graphic Content Ahead!
This graphic image or word cloud was created using Wordle. It is derived from the subjects and authors of postings in PubLib for March 2011. The size of the graphics is directly related to the number of un-weighted unique occurrences each month of the individual words represented. Most automated graphic processes that generate these types of word clouds use additional weight for H1 – H6 tags through feeds. These graphics are not processed with H1 – H6 tags. The titles and authors were copied to Notepad and stripped of all HTML before being run through the Wordle Java platform. The process is case-sensitive so Library is not the same thing as library.
The most prominent word without employing filters would have been Publib. Publib and Fwd were deleted from the plaintext files before processing. In addition, the Wordle program automatically disregards articles, conjunctions, and prepositions.

Mobile device encryption: A best practice that no one uses
Experts and IT executives agree that mobile device encryption is the best way to protect data. But too few companies are actually deploying this critical technology.
Experts say encryption is the best way to protect sensitive data on laptops and other mobile devices. Most IT organizations say they know this. So why do so few companies actually do it?
"I'm concerned that a great number of companies are still not protecting their data," said John Girard, vice president and distinguished analyst at Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner Inc. "The sales of [encryption] products over the last number of years are still a small fraction of the laptops and mobile devices out there."
Credant Technologies Inc., an Addison, Texas-based vendor of mobile device encryption technology, recently surveyed 426 IT professionals worldwide. Eight-eight percent said they know large amounts of sensitive data are sitting on their employees' mobile devices. Seventy-two percent said the best way to protect that data is through encryption. But only 20% said they have actually deployed encryption on those devices.
"Those numbers make sense to me because most of the people we speak with are reporting that it hasn't even hit their radar screen yet," said Carmi Levy, a senor research analyst at Info-Tech Research Group Inc. in London, Ontario.
Levy said there seems to be a mental block among companies about the threat mobile devices present to data security.
"Traditionally, [mobile devices] have been seen as low-powered, low-capacity adjunct to the corporate tool set," Levy said.
However, anyone who reads the news knows that laptops with thousands of sensitive records on customers and employees are lost or stolen every month.
Levy compares the attitude toward unsecured mobile data to drunken driving. The message is clear to everyone: Drinking and driving is dangerous and can have serous legal consequences. Yet thousands continue to die every year in alcohol-related accidents.
"The same ethos applies to mobile data security," Levy said. "It's a known threat and an easy threat to understand, but most organizations don't allocate the resources necessary to bring it truly under control."
The Credant survey asked respondents to list reasons why their companies hadn't adopted mobile device encryption. Fifty-six percent said it was due to a lack of funding; 51% said encryption was not an executive priority; and 50% said they were impeded by limited IT resources.
"No one wants to pay for this," Girard said.
Randy Maib, senior IT consultant at Integris Health Inc., an Oklahoma City-based hospital chain, deployed Credant's mobile encryption to all of his organizations' mobile devices five years ago.
It's a known threat and an easy threat to understand, but most organizations don't allocate the resources necessary to bring it truly under control.
Carmi Levy, senor research analyst, Info-Tech Research Group
"From having conversations with [my peers] it seems more and more are aware that they need to be doing encryption, but a lot of them don't have a basis for where that encryption should take place and in what circumstances," Maib said. "But it's becoming more and more prominent, talk about security and HIPAA [The Health Information Portability and Accountability Act]. But a lot of them haven't heard about client-side encryption. They believe that if they've got a password it's good enough."
Maib said his company's former CIO was the key to putting Intregis on the leading edge with encryption.
"Our previous CIO was an extreme visionary," he said. "We started to go down the road to see who was ahead of the game [in encryption], find out what kind of practices the industry started doing."
"Before that, the bulk of security was physicians and administrative personnel who knew how to enable the security features of the Palm operation system," Maib said.
Maib said about 300 of his company's several thousand doctors are solely using mobile devices for their work, but that population is growing.
He said the physicians were resistant to adopting the encryption at first because they didn't want any impediments to getting patient data. But Maib said he has made it fairly simple for doctors to decrypt data with a PIN.
Girard said encryption is the simplest way to take care of mobile data, but many companies fear implementation.
"There's a lot of fear that encrypting a device will slow it down," Girard said. "There is also concern that an encrypted device is harder to recover, diagnose or repair. Both of these, under certain circumstances, are legitimate concerns. But most devices have more power now."
Girard said users will object to anything that makes it hard to use a mobile device.
"The device is supposed to be easy to use," Girard said. "You put something on here that makes it take more than 30 seconds to log onto a PDA, how am I going to feel? The whole idea is convenience. That's the expectation people have. Make sure any security you put into a device is not distracting to the user, but it can't be transparent."
Levy said IT needs to prioritize mobile encryption. He said mobile devices don't always get attention because companies haven't implemented a mobile security strategy. He said this is partly a legacy of the history of mobile devices being brought into organizations by end users who have connected surreptitiously.

urgent overarching issues
SDSN's Action Agenda for Sustainable Development & SDG's ?!?
2013-05-23: The U.N. Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon, announced the launch of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) on 9 August 2012.
UN SDSN is structured around 12 Thematic Groups of scientific and technical experts – from academia, civil society, and the private sector – who work in support of Sustainable Development Problem Solving at local, national, and global scales … and to identify and highlight best practices. They also provide technical support to the High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
The world has changed profoundly since the year 2000, when the UN Millennium Declaration and the Millennium Development Goals (MDG's) were adopted by the United Nations. Four critical shifts make the coming fifteen-year period, 2015-2030, different from the MDG period, 2000-2015: (i) a drastically higher human impact on the physical Earth; (ii) rapid technological change; (iii) increasing inequality; and (iv) a growing diffusion and complexity of governance.
These problems will expand, dangerously beyond our control, without an urgent and radical transformation in how we organize society. The world now needs an operational Sustainable Development Framework which can mobilize all key actors (national & local governments, civil society, business, science and academia) in every country to move away from the Business-as-Usual (BaU) Trajectory towards a Sustainable Development (SD) Path. This Framework and the SDG's identify the main objectives and strategies needed to transform from BaU to SD.
The purpose of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) is to help translate global aspirations into practical actions. In this regard, SDSN has subscribed to the 'Rio+20' Agreement that the SDG's should be 'action-oriented, concise and easy to communicate, limited in number, aspirational, global in nature and universally applicable to all countries while taking into account different national realities, capacities and levels of development, and respecting national policies and priorities'.
SDI's Comments on the Draft 'Action Agenda for Sustainable Development & Sustainable Development Goals' …
[ Submitted by e-mail, yesterday (2013-05-22), to the U.N. Sustainable Development Solutions Network.]
1. The problems with this Draft Document, dated 7 May 2013, are fundamental and profound. Our Organization will be happy to assist the Network (SDSN) in improving the text.
2. At this time, however, we would like to bring to your attention some urgent overarching issues:
- Amend the Title … refer directly to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's). See above.
- As drafted, the text does not show that … or explain how … there is a robust Interdependence between the different Sustainable Development Goals.
- Indeed, the scale and immediacy of the Sustainable Development Challenges are unprecedented. The Network (SDSN) must now, therefore, take the brave and difficult step of placing the Sustainable Development Goals in order of priority. Do not allow yourselves to be shackled by the approach taken in the earlier Millennium Development Goals !
- In this Document, All of the texts dealing with 'Governance' are ambiguous, weak and embarrassingly inadequate. References to the Institutional, Political, Legal and Judicial Aspects of 'Governance' are both necessary, and required.
- The word 'access' is used very often and very generally in the Document. BUT … in order for People with Activity Limitations (2001 WHO ICF) to 'access' facilities and services in the Built (including Virtual), Social and Economic Environments, and to be included and participate fully in their local communities … it is an ESSENTIAL prerequisite that those Environments are effectively ACCESSIBLE-FOR-ALL ! This concept is not mentioned once in the Document … a very serious omission.
Updates: 2013-06-07 & 2013-07-22 …
The SDSN Final Report is Fundamentally and Profoundly INADEQUATE !
Immediately below that … see Extracts from the Letter of Navanethem Pillay, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, dated 6 June 2013 … addressed to All Permanent Missions in New York and Geneva.

" Twenty years ago this June, the World Conference on Human Rights convened at Vienna to forge a new vision for our world, one founded on a recognition of the fundamental interdependence between democracy, development and human rights. In the tail of a blood-stained and deprived century, the whispered call was for dignity, equality, justice, rights. And what began as a murmur in Vienna grew in volume and force with each global conference: Copenhagen and Beijing in 1995, Durban in 2001, New York in 2005 and again in 2010, and Rio in 2012. In recent years, the murmur has become a roar, echoing across societies on all continents, from victims denied redress, older persons denied respect, youth denied hope, and activists demanding a better way. From this call, we have learned much about the imperatives of sustainable development. There will be no development without equality, no progress without freedom, no peace without justice, no sustainability without human rights."
"All that is required is the political will to move beyond the failed approaches of the past, to chart a fresh course, and to embrace a new paradigm of development built on the foundation of human rights, equality and sustainability."
1. The Post-2015 Agenda must be built on a human rights-based approach, in both process and substance.
2. The new agenda must address both sides of the development challenge – that is freedom from both fear and want.
3. The imperative of equality must underpin the entire framework.
4. Marginalized, disempowered and excluded groups, previously locked out of development, must have a place in the new agenda.
5. We must commit to ending poverty.
6. The new framework must advance a healthy environment, as an underlying determinant of internationally guaranteed human rights.
7. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights guarantees the right to an international order in which human rights can be fully realized. Similarly, the UN Declaration on the Right to Development mandates international reform to ensure human rights-based policy coherence at the international level. In the wake of the global financial, food, climate and energy crises, and in the context of growing disparities and historic governance failures at all levels, the credibility and effectiveness of the Post-2015 Agenda will therefore depend also on the degree to which it addresses this pressing need for human rights-based reforms at international level.
8. The Post-2015 Agenda should be universally applicable.
9. The Post-2015 Agenda must include a strong accountability framework.
10. In the wake of the devastating global financial crisis, and revelations of abusive business practices in all regions, it is clear that responsibility for human rights-based development in the Post-2015 period must extend to actors in the private sector, as well.

text: The youngest girl group ever to notch a number one single on the UK pop charts, Ireland's teen quartet B*Witched comprised vocalist Edele Lynch, her guitar-playing twin sister Keavy, keyboardist Sinead O'Caroll and guitarist Lindsay Armaou. Drawing inspiration from the success of the Lynch sisters' brother Shane -- a member of Boyzone -- the group took to extensive rehearsal and writing sessions before signing with the Glow Worm label, headed by producer Ray Hedges (known for his work with Boyzone as well as Bros). Heavily hyped even prior to its release, B*Witched's first single, "C'Est La Vie," topped the British charts upon its release in late May of 1998; the follow-up, "Rollercoaster," also debuted at number one upon its release in mid-September. B*Witched's self-titled debut LP followed a month later, and in the fall of 1999 the group returned with Awake and Breathe. ~ Jason Ankeny

Steps will be taken to encourage fresh points of view, such as establishing staggered membership terms and limiting the number of renewed memberships. Federal employee members will not be subject to term limits.
- The Secretary of Agriculture will appoint the membership of the Committee after consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The Secretary may consult with other Federal Agencies such as the Department of Commerce's National Marine Fisheries Service, the Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency, and the Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding appointments.
Membership will consist of not more than 30 individuals. Members of the Committee will be chosen based on their expertise in microbiology, risk assessment, epidemiology, public health, food science, and other relevant disciplines. Non-Federal Government employee members will be appointed as Special Government Employees (SGEs). One individual affiliated with a consumer group will be included in the membership of the Committee to serve in a representational capacity. Members will serve at the discretion of the Secretary of Agriculture.
- The Secretary of Agriculture or designee will appoint the NACMCF Chairperson who is recognized for his or her ability to lead a group in a fair and focused manner and who has been briefed on the mission of this Committee. The Secretary of Agriculture or designee will assign the Committee Vice-chairperson after consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
- Ethics Statement
To maintain the highest levels of honesty, integrity and ethical conduct, no Committee or subcommittee member shall participate in any "specific party matters" (i.e., matters are narrowly focused and typically involve specific transactions between identified parties) such as a lease, license, permit, contract, claim, grant, agreement, or related litigation with the Department in which the member has a direct or indirect financial interest. This includes the requirement for Committee or Subcommittee members to disclose immediately to the DFO any specific party matter in which the member's immediate family, relatives, business partners, or employer would be directly seeking to benefit financially from the Committee's recommendations.
All members will receive ethics training to identify and avoid any actions that would cause the public to question the integrity of the Committee's advice and recommendations. Members who are appointed as "Representatives" are not subject to Federal ethics laws because such appointment allows them to represent the point of view of a particular group, business sector, or segment of the public.
Members appointed as "Special Government Employees" (SGEs) are considered intermittent Federal employees and are subject to Federal ethics laws. SGEs are appointed due to their personal knowledge, academic scholarship, background, or expertise. No SGE may participate in any activity in which the member has a prohibited financial interest. Appointees who are SGEs are required to complete and submit a Confidential Financial Disclosure Report (OGE-450 form); upon request, USDA will assist SGEs in preparing these financial reports. To ensure the highest level of compliance with applicable ethical standards, USDA will provide ethics training to SGEs on an annual basis. The provisions of these paragraphs are not meant to cover all Federal ethics laws exhaustively and do not affect any other statutory or regulatory obligations to which advisory committee members are subject.
- Equal Opportunity Statement
Equal opportunity practices, in line with USDA policies, will be followed in all membership appointments to the Committee. To ensure that the recommendations of the Committee have taken into account the needs of the diverse groups served by the Department, membership shall include, to the extent practicable, individuals with demonstrated ability to represent minorities, women, and persons with disabilities.
- This Committee will be fairly balanced in its membership in terms of the points of view represented and the functions to be performed. Steps will be taken to encourage fresh points of view, such as establishing staggered membership terms and limiting the number of renewed memberships. Federal employee members will not be subject to term limits.
- Subcommittees
FSIS has the authority to create subcommittees. Subcommittees must report back to the parent committee, and must not provide advice or work products directly to the Agency or Secretary.
- Recordkeeping
The records of this Committee, formally and informally established subcommittees, or other subgroups of the Committee, shall be handled in accordance with General Records Schedule (GRS) 6.2 or other approved agency records disposition schedule. These records shall be available for public inspection and copying, subject to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552. Information about this Committee is available online at: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/nacmcf
- Filing Date
February 3, 2017

Who Are You? The Survey Results
In addition, in the section where I asked you what you would like to see more of on Mommy Maestra, you guys are all over the place. Some love the science aspect and want to see more about that. Others want to know more about how to teach your children Spanish. Or for me to share quality books/materials that are written in Spanish-only. Some of you want more resources for preschoolers, while others want more information for older children.
My work is cut out for me, no? Mommy Maestra has blossomed and grown quickly, which shows me how much you all love your children. I mean, why else would you be reading all about lesson plans, activities, crafts, books, and games – para niños?
So my goal for the next few months is to begin organizing the blog in a manner that will hopefully address many (if not all) of these issues about which you have asked. In addition, I am going to add a button to the sidebar for the survey, so that you may continue to request specific topics. I also want to continue to learn more about you, and filling out the survey helps me understand you better so that I can tailor the content of this blog.
Before I close, I went through and picked out a few of the requests that I have received in the survey so far, to give you an idea of who your fellow readers are...
"I'd like to see something about parents trying to teach their children Spanish, traditions, culture, but they are not home schooling. More like after-schooling :)"
"Maybe more step by step articles with pictures that go with text. It's just a suggestion cause I do love the content already."
"I would love to see more resources, such as how to teach reading and math, in Spanish."
"I am looking for ways to incorporate teaching a toddler Spanish in the home as a second language."
"As I said above, love the science, love the resource recommendations - only thing I would change is more!"
"More bilingual ideas for kids 5 and older. There are a lot of toys and resources for todllers and younger kids, but for bigger kids there is a huge need of more."
"I have a preschooler and a baby on the way, so some of the lessons are not quite for us, yet. Perhaps some more info relevant to preK/Kindergarten level?"
"Curriculum/teaching ideas for second generation bilingual families - my children are familiar with Spanish, but the conversation aspect is the most challenging. Tips on how to make that easier for them/us..."
"Language acquisition, brain development, research information..."
By the start of the new year, I hope to have started incorporating posts on all of these subjects. So when you see me jumping around between English and Spanish resources, toys for babies and word games for older children, you'll understand that we are one big community of parents.
And I hope you will share your own experiences or discoveries with us, as well. If you would like to contribute a post about one of these, please contact me via email or on Facebook.
Con mucho cariño….

Do you know of any good computer games in Spanish for kids? I would prefer them to be completely in Spanish.ReplyDelete
I love your blog and you are such a great resource to me! Thank you!
Hi, Tati!ReplyDelete
Do you mean interactive websites or software that you can purchase or download? Or both? And what ages would you like to target?
Have you tried BrainPop Español?
Or maybe Kokone out of Mexico?
And you might also try Pequenet from Spain.
Take a look at those and see if they are what you are looking for. If not, come back and we'll hunt down the answer for you...
Thanks for the links! I would love to get a computer game that I could buy, something that I could leave my kids playing and not worry that they would click on ads or other online games. I know Caillou has some preschool games in Spanish and English (we like them, but they are a bit elementary). Do you know of anything more advanced like a 1st grade BrainPop in Spanish?ReplyDelete

Stylist and Fashion Editors gathered at the beautiful Hudson hotel for the debut of designer Laquan Smith's Spring 2013 collection. The sprawling garden rooftop consisted of lush greenery and plush cabana chairs that set the stage for the highly anticipated debut. Most would consider Laquan Smith a budding designer with only two years in the industry; however, he has managed to solidify his position as a talented designer with celebrity clientele.
The attendees included Celebrity Stylist / TV Personality June Ambrose, Urban Video Model / Beauty Entrepreneur Keyshia Ka'oir and "A Belle in Brooklyn" Author Demetria Lucas.
Known for flamboyant, bold and feminine pieces, the SS/2013 presentation remained true to the brands identity. Models appeared wearing brightly colored dresses in jersey knit and two piece pairings that were exotic yet edgy.
The body conscious garments ranged from swimsuits, peek-a-boo lace, high-waist pencil skirts, hot pants and trendy torso-baring tops in vibrant neon colors.
This season Smith used his travels for inspiration. "This collection is like a rebirth for me. I have traveled to Botswana, Lagos, Nigeria, the British Virgin Islands and Jamaica all in the past few months. Traveling always inspires me from the people I meet to the food to the scenery. The collection is honoring those tranquil places around the world that we often take for granted." Moved by landscaping he named the collection "Beau Jardin" which means "beautiful garden" in French.
His globetrotting adventures and time spent in Jamaica were evident in the colors of the garments that were reminiscent of underwater coral.
There is no denying that Smith creates garments for the self-assured woman that is courageously sexy and bold in her fashion decisions.

Bites: Craft beer and gourmet pub grub
Beer heads prayed for it, and Christian Burns answered.
Cask Republic -- the region's newest craft beer bar and a cousin of The Gingerman, which Burns also owns -- is a beer lover's dream. Featuring 60 taps -- 60! -- along with a wide selection of gourmet pub grub, the Stamford hot spot is a must-visit for a bite and a beer.
The place: Cask Republic, 191 Summer St,, Stamford.
The vibe: An open, low-lit space furnished with armchairs, sofas and communal high-top tables, Cask makes you feel like you're in your very own living room. Not one, but two fireplaces add to the warm, cozy atmosphere.
The crowd: It varies, but generally, the evening sees an influx of noisy young professionals, while the daytime sees a smattering of business people from nearby office buildings. Serious beer drinkers are ever-present.
Best seats: If you're feeling social, take a seat at one of the high-top tables, where you can survey the scene or strike up a conversation with a total stranger. If you're looking for a more private setting, plop yourself down in a big arm chair and lounge by the fireplace. Just be careful -- your butt might stick to the seat.
Must-try apps: The Short Rib Meatballs ($13), a delicate meatball tossed in a unique IPA barbecue glaze and topped with crumbled Maytag bleu cheese; soy glazed wings with ginger-lime sauce ($11), a highly shareable app that strikes just the right balance of spicy and sweet; and Kale Salad ($11), a generous dish packed with radicchio, lentils, cranberries, walnuts and tossed in a creamy ginger vinaigrette.
Signature cocktail: Cask boasts more than 60 spirits (single malt scotches, whiskies, bourbons and ryes) and a generous craft cocktail menu. With so much to choose from, Burns recommends the old fashioned. It's a pretty straightforward drink. But when it's made well -- in this case, with Luxardo Gourmet Maraschino Cherries, Maker's Mark, oranges and simple syrup -- it's incredibly tasty.
What's brewing: Beer geeks will go gaga over Cask's 60 taps reflecting all of the popular American craft beer styles (stouts, pale ales, IPAs, ambers, wheat beers, barley wines), along with a robust selection of European brews. In high demand are beers from Two Roads Brewery in Stratford, session IPAs (Founders All Day IPA and Bluepoint Mosaic are big sellers) and sour beers (make sure to try the Rodenbach Grand Cru, a staple of Cask's beer menu).
Bonus: Tap takeovers. Cask periodically features multiple beers by a single brewery. It's already hosted takeovers of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and Founders Brewing Co.
Other places for craft beer and gourmet pub grub: Plan B Burger Bar, 230 Tresser Blvd., Stamford, and 1638 Boston Post Road, Milford (wide selection of beer, bourbon and certified humane burgers); The Gingerman, 90 Washington St., Norwalk, and 64 Greenwich Ave., Greenwich (Cask's slightly swankier older cousin); Barnum Publick House, 1020 Broad St., Bridgeport (specialty cocktails, wine, craft beer and creative pub food); Widow Brown's Cafe, 128 Federal Road, Danbury (14 taps, and even more cans and bottles; serves elegant bar food to boot).

A Massachusetts State Police sergeant will be on desk duty pending the outcome of an internal investigation over his unauthorized release of photos showing the hunt and capture of one of the Boston bombing suspects.
Boston magazine published the images Thursday, along with a story quoting Sgt. Sean Murphy.
The sergeant said that a recent cover on Rolling Stone was "an insult" to the victims of the April terror attack because, in his view, it didn't portray Dzhokhar Tsarnaev the right way.
Murphy was "furious" with the Rolling Stone cover photo of Tsarnaev, the Boston magazine story said, so the sergeant, a tactical photographer, provided the publication with grittier pictures from the harrowing hours after the bombing. These included an image of Tsarnaev during his capture with his face buried in his arm and what appears to be a red laser trained from afar on his head.
Hours after the Boston magazine story appeared online, Murphy was relieved of duty with pay for a day, and State Police spokesman David Procopio told reporters that a hearing Tuesday before three state police commissioned officers would determine the sergeant's status.
After the hearing Tuesday, attorney Leonard Kesten stood beside Murphy along with Dana Pullman, president of the State Police Association of Massachusetts.
Pullman told reporters that Murphy had been placed on restricted duty, which he explained meant desk duty. Murphy is no longer a photographer, Procopio said.
Kesten said that after the internal investigation into the release of the image is complete, "terminating" Murphy "would be the wrong message to send to everyone."
There's little chance of that happening, according to Massachusetts State Police Superintendent Col. Timothy Alben who also spoke to reporters Tuesday.
"I don't see Sgt. Murphy being terminated for this particular set of circumstances," he said.
A 25-year veteran of the state police, Murphy had worked most recently in the agency's public information office, covering many major operations, Alben said.
The sergeant has been an "exemplary" employee with no disciplinary record. "There no blemish there," Alben continued. "He's a man of character. He's a man of honor."
Alben said he had no reason to doubt that Murphy was "motivated by his own conscious and his own feelings about what occurred."
Kesten said that Murphy's actions would not affect the prosecution of Tsarnaev. "The guy was captured live on TV -- helicopter shots," the lawyer said.
But Alben was firm.
"If we get into a situation where we allow employees to cherry-pick and to choose what confidential information can be shared with the public or the media, impeding investigations or prosecutions, then we've lost integrity of the Massachusetts State Police," he said.
The sergeant's teenage son also stepped in front of microphones to tell reporters that he was fully behind his father.
"My dad's kind of always been a huge hero to me, and throughout this process he's shown the characteristics that I hope to some day model myself after," Connor Patrick Murphy said. "If I could be one-fourth the man he is now, then I could be happy with my life. Couldn't be prouder."
Different images and portrayals
The Rolling Stone cover showed Tsarnaev with tousled hair and a peaceful-looking face.
An image Boston magazine said that Murphy provided showed the bombing suspect bloody, looking down, his shirt raised.
"This guy is evil," Murphy was quoted in the magazine. "This is the real Boston bomber. Not someone fluffed and buffed for the cover of Rolling Stone magazine."
In the span of five days, more than 58,000 people have "liked" a Facebook page supporting Murphy, calling him a hero and lambasting the idea that his bosses would harshly discipline him.
A message about the outcome of the hearing Tuesday got more than 700 "likes" within a couple of hours.
"If the powers that be do the right thing, they'll give Sgt. Murphy a medal, a long weekend off with pay, a new camera, and an apology," Richard C. Martin posted on the Facebook page. His comment alone garnered 160 likes.
"I support Sgt. Murphy for standing up for the victims," posted John W. Patterson, calling him "a true hero for doing what he thinks is right."
But there were a few people who understood why the trooper is in trouble.
Darin Vance, a 16-year-old from West Virginia, posted, "I hate to see him lose his job, but what he did really was illegal; those pictures were not his, since he took them for his employer. Therefore, legally speaking, he stole the picture, and published it. I guess it depends how his contract was set up, but I think all copyrights would have been given over to the state."
Vance reiterated his support for the trooper to CNN on Monday and said he worried the Rolling Stone cover might inspire someone to commit an act of terror hoping to land on the front of a legendary magazine.
Page organizer surprised
On Monday, CNN reached a woman who said she was the organizer of the page but would only give a first name -- Lisa. She said she felt compelled to create the page because her father was a Massachusetts State Police trooper.
"I thought this page would only be popular among my friends, but I'm getting private messages from people across the country, in Germany and in England, all over, who believe this trooper did the right thing," she said. "I was so angry when I heard that Sgt. Murphy was going to suffer for trying to stand up for victims."
Before quoting Murphy in several long passages, Boston magazine wrote: "Here, in his own words, Murphy shares his thoughts on the Rolling Stone cover. He stresses that he is speaking strictly for himself and not as a representative of the Massachusetts State Police."
John Wolfson, Boston magazine's editor-in-chief, said the magazine has hundreds of photos similar to the ones Murphy provided and will publish more in its September issue.
He said Murphy was "conflicted on some level" about releasing the photos but "genuinely worried" about how the Rolling Stone cover will affect the victims' families.
The Rolling Stone cover unleashed a wave of intense reaction on social media that played out in brick-and-mortar stores. Three prominent New England-based businesses -- CVS pharmacies, Stop & Shop and Tedeschi Food Shops -- were among those that heard the public outcry and announced they would not sell the print edition of the magazine.
Some have defended the cover, arguing it draws much needed attention to a young man who seemed an unlikely terrorist. Rolling Stone issued a statement saying the story "falls within the traditions of journalism and Rolling Stone's long-standing commitment to serious and thoughtful coverage."
"The fact that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is young, and in the same age group as many of our readers," the statement read, "makes it all the more important for us to examine the complexities of this issue and gain a more complete understanding of how a tragedy like this happens."
Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to federal charges in connection with bombings and is awaiting trial. His brother Tamerlan, suspected to have helped carry out the attack, was killed during a gunbattle with police.
CNN's Lawrence Crook contributed to this report.

Most people think of surfing as something that's done on water, but the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) is trying to use vortex surfing -- a technique similar to what bicycle racers and migrating birds do when they cluster in groups to draft off one another -- to help aircraft conserve fuel by flying close together in formation.
Using C-17 aircraft in tests on Sept. 6 and Oct. 2, the AFRL determined that it can save 10 percent on fuel on long-haul flights by allowing two or more aircraft to fly together for a reduced drag effect.
The Air Force is formally calling the concept Surfing Aircraft Vortices for Energy ($AVE), Dr. Donald Erbschloe, chief scientist for the Air Mobility Command, said in a press release.
The tests involved two C-17s, one of which trailed the other, surfing its vortex and staying in position on its updraft to maintain lift without burning extra fuel. Flying this way also reduces wind resistance on the aircraft. This method could save the Air Mobility Command -- which flies an average of 80,000 flights a year -- millions of dollars in fuel costs, Erbschloe said.
The Air Force used C-17s because their size and mobility make it easier to maintain formations, and they don't need to trail too closely behind another plane to achieve vortex surfing, according to the AFRL. "The test flights were flown at longitudinal separations of 4,000 or greater," William Blake, one of the developers of the program, said in the release.
Engineers were able to modify the C-17s' formation flight system software to maintain proper flight position using the auto-pilot and auto-throttle systems. This allowed the planes to hold their position "extremely well -- even close to the vortex," Capt. Zachary Schaffer, one of the test pilots, said in the release. "The flight conditions were very safe; this was as hands-off as any current formation flying we do." However, pilots reported different levels of ride quality, leaving room for improvement, according to the AFRL.
Another test pilot, Maj. Eric Bippert, said in the press release that the lab will continue to analyze data from the flights to try to find the correct balance between a smooth ride and optimized fuel efficiency before employing vortex surfing in missions.
The US military has been exploring numerous ways to make its vessels -- especially those running on fossil fuels -- more efficient. For example, the Navy recently said it was exploring a way to turn seawater into jet fuel. And the Army is working on a number of ways to use alternative energy sources.

African Biography and Historiography
Heather Hughes
Biography in the African context can take many forms, from brief entries in a biographical dictionary or obituary in a newspaper to multivolume studies of single individuals. It can encompass one or many subjects and serves both to celebrate the famous and illuminate obscure lives. Biographies can be instructional as well as inspirational. Sometimes, it is hard to draw a line between biography and autobiography because of the way a work has been compiled. An attempt is made to understand this vast range of forms, with reference to social and political biography. The main focus is on work produced since the 1970s, with examples drawn from all regions of sub-Saharan Africa (although Southern Africa is better represented than others, as is English-medium material). Matters that preoccupy biographers everywhere, such as the relationship between writer and subject and the larger relationship between biography and history, are raised. Biography can be an excellent entry point into the complexities of African history.
Ethnicity in Africa
Gabrielle Lynch
Among today's scholars there is a near consensus that precolonial African identities were relatively fluid, permeable, overlapping, and complex; that ethnic identities are socially constructed; and that a colonial order of delineated control encouraged Africans to rethink group identities and heightened a sense of socioeconomic and political competition along ethnic lines. There is also growing consensus that ethnic identities are nevertheless the subject of ongoing (re)negotiation and that, to find resonance, the politicization of ethnicity, while instrumental in motivation and opportunistic in character, must be rooted in linguistic, cultural, and socioeconomic similarities and communal experiences of marginalization, neglect, injustice, and achievement. Many scholars also emphasize how the realities of ethnically delineated political support reflect pragmatism and expectations of patronage in the context of difficult and unequal socioeconomic contexts, as well as the significance of remembered pasts and associated narratives of justice and strategies of acquisition. Such realities and discursive repertoires provide a list of grievances that elites can use to foster a sense of difference and mobilize local support bases, but that also provide nonelites with a means to question and counter intra- and intercommunal differences and thus social and spatial inequalities. Ethnic support then strengthened by a reinforcing cycle of ethnic bias and expectations of greater levels of assistance from co-ethnics. According to such arguments, ethnic identification and political support are rational, but not for the simple reasons that classic primordial, instrumental or neo-patrimonial accounts suggest.

We tried hard to reduce its thickness from 10cm to 7cm first, and then from 7cm to 5cm, which took a lot of time and effort. Moreover, the size and amount of reserved holes have a significant impact on the forming and turning model of the L-shape structure.We made the turning model success by puttingPVC tubes into the holes in the formwork, which ensure that the formwork can be easily removedand is in good condition. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?.

Envy and Jealousy - A disease for heart and mind
- Details
- Written by Super User
- Category: Islam
Jealousy is a disease of the heart and mind, it is one of the oldest evils of human beings. Some Islamic scholars say that this is the first sin that was committed.
When Allah ordered the angels to bow down to Adam, Iblis refused to bow because he was jealous of the honor that Allah gave to Adam. He said to Allah,
[Iblees] said, "Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy his descendants, except for a few." (Surah Al-Isra; 62).
Possibly jealousy is one of the fatal illnesses of ethics which cannot be cured. A jealous person grieves when he discovers any goodness and positivity in other people's lives. It is believed that jealousy is such an illness of soul that no doctor can find the cure for it. For this reason, jealousy is a disgusting moral quality which invalidates and destroys a person's good deeds.
However it is generally jealousy that causes fights between people and conflicts between colleagues and friends. Indeed, jealousy, as a result of extreme egoism, is the thought of "How can they have something which I do not have"!
Those who live in jealousy live under stress and grief. They often ruin their own health and live a miserable life. They also intend to harm others. Jealous people have never reached their desires and they have never been respected by anyone and anywhere. In addition, jealousy causes despair, hopelessness and shortens lifespan.
According to Bertrand Russell "jealousy was one of the most strong causes of unhappiness. Not only is the jealous person rendered unhappy by his envy, but they also wish to inflict misfortune on others".
Jealous persons live in constant state of being sad and dejected. It ruins one's character before it is built on ethics and principles.
Imam al-Ghazali, who was a great thinker, philosopher and scholar, said that jealousy is often caused by various acts like; hatred, ambition, superiority and arrogance, astonishment, craving for power and prestige.
Whether it is money, power, fame or lust, all material things are finite. It is for this reason people generally get jealous by each other. Obviously everybody imagines himself to be superior and reflects that his thoughts and manners are better than others.
The Prophet (pbuh) warned against jealousy by comparing it to fire that completely burns the wood. He (pbuh) said: "Beware of jealousy, for verily it destroys good deeds the way fire destroys wood." (Abu Dawood)
A jealous person is annoyed because of the blessings other people have got. He is angry with Allah's way of distributing bounties to individuals. Allah through His absolute wisdom has given some people more prosperity, children, intelligence, beauty and strength than others. The believing Muslim should be pleased with what Allah has destined for him.
Allah (SWT) mentions in the Quran:
"Allah favored some of you over others with wealth and properties do they deny the favors of Allah?" (Surah Al-Nahl; 71)
However being jealous does not change Allah's decision. Therefore, a jealous person grieves and troubles in vain because of his jealousy. Besides, he earns sins which are a burden on him. In truth jealousy affects more damage to the jealous himself than to one whom he is jealous of.
A Muslim must always have in mind that jealousy is forbidden. The Prophet (pbuh) said:
"Do not be jealous of each other, do not boycott each other, do not hate each other, do not contrive against each other. Be all of you brothers to each other, O Servants of Allah". (Dawood :14 )
Envy and jealousy are sources of dissatisfaction and self-torture, therefore, we are advised in the Holy Quran to seek refuge from the serious effects of such kinds of hateful social evils.
Jealousy is such a dangerous characteristic that Allah revealed verses of the Quran to be recited as a protection from the jealous:
"Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn… from the evil of envious when he envies." [Surah Al-Falaq :113)

Rome, Italy, Jan 10, 2014 / 02:30 pm ().- As the Legionaries meet in Rome for their General Chapter, spokesman Fr. Benjamin Clariond voiced the congregation's hopes for a stronger apostolate with a more keen awareness of their challenges.
"After this period of renewal and purification, we would like to continue serving the Church and offering our ministries with a renewed enthusiasm, and also with a greater awareness of our limitations," the spokesman said in his Jan. 10 interview with CNA.
Fr. Clariond also expressed the importance of recognizing "the beautiful reality of working together in a spirit of communion in the local and universal Church."
However, he emphasized that "we also have to be realistic," explaining that "the process of reform, renewal, etc. is not a one-time thing, but an ongoing effort to confront and, with God's grace, configure ourselves with the Gospel and our mission."
On Jan. 8 the Legionaries of Christ opened their first Extraordinary General Chapter with a Mass celebrated by the congregation's Delegate from the Vatican, Cardinal Velasio De Paolis.
The Chapter, which aims specifically to approve the Legion's new constitutions and to elect a new governing body, began its official meetings the morning of Jan. 9, and will continue for the next six weeks.
Retired pontiff Benedict XVI originally mandated the Chapter in wake of the revelation of the double-life led by the congregation's founder, Fr. Marcial Maciel, who is since deceased.
An official investigation into the life and conduct of Fr. Maciel was launched by the Vatican, and in 2006 Benedict XVI stripped him of his duties and role of leadership within the congregation, ordering him to a life of prayer and penance.
The goal of the Papal Delegate, appointed by Benedict in June of 2010, "was to walk a path of renewal and revision of our charism, our way of life," Fr. Clariond noted, highlighting how "this process entailed the main task of writing our new constitutions which are set to express, protect and help develop the charism of any religious congregation."
During their meetings, "the constitutions," observed the spokesman, "will be approved by the General Chapter and subsequently submitted for the approval of Pope Francis."
Along with the primary tasks of approving their constitutions and electing new leadership, the Chapter will also make an analysis of "the Legion's path of renewal, our opportunities, our frailties," he revealed, "and discern together, in a spirit of prayer and communion, what the Holy Spirit is asking of us in this moment."
"It is the Chapter itself which will mark the guidelines and priorities for the new leadership."
The Chapter began "with a draft of the Constitutions in which every Legionary has had a chance to speak his opinions," Fr. Clarion explained, noting that he was the secretary of the Central Commission for the Review of the Constitutions last year.
Explaining the process of writing of the constitutions, the priest recalled that the Central Commission issued an initial proposal, which was read, studied, discussed and voted on by all the Legionaries.
"It implied a lot of work," the spokesman noted, emphasizing that "the Central Commission would read every single suggestion," some of the texts including over 500 recommendations, "and identify the different consensus as well as divergences."
Fr. Clarion also voiced his belief that the Chapter will address "the issue of the founder," which "in a sense" has already been addressed, "but is likely that it will be revisited."
"It will also set the guidelines and priorities for the new leadership," he said, emphasizing that although these are his thoughts, "as spokesman of the Legion of Christ," he is "not in a position" to determine the topics that will be discussed.
The spokesman also expressed his appreciation of the appointment the Delegate by Benedict XVI, because it "had to do with a future" that the retired pontiff "considered possible for the Legion."
"Trust in the voice of Peter's successor, which comes from faith, has been a source of hope and confidence for the future," he expressed.
In a Jan. 9 interview with Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi, the Legion-Delegate Cardinal De Paolis emphasized that his duties have not been "the beginning of the story of the Legion and Regnum Christi, but it is one stage of it."
"The first stage is the story of the Founder; the second is the visitation by the five bishops sent by the Holy Father to get to know this reality; and the third stage, in fact, is the appointment of the papal delegate."
When Benedict issued the delegation, the cardinal explained, "he had already issued a severe judgment" regarding the founder's actions, but "this judgment was not so severe as to destroy the congregation."
"If the Pope appoints a Delegate," he explained, "he is implicitly denying that a substantially negative judgment of the Legion itself should be made."
Benedict XVI's goal, observed Cardinal De Paolis, was to "restart the journey alongside the Legionaries, so as to guide them through a period of reflection and renewal, which was also penitential."
This was done in hopes of reviewing "their charism, to rewrite their Constitutions and then to resume their positive position within the Church."
In addition to his work within the Legionaries of Christ and their leadership, the cardinal also spoke of the congregation's lay movement, Regnum Christi, explaining that it will not be discussed during the Chapter, but that "a new path" must be traced.
"Before," Cardinal De Paolis noted, "Regnum Christi was like an extension of the Legion. Instead, we have come to realize that each group has its own autonomy, identity and discipline."
"However, together they form a 'movement,'" and "therefore, there is a great unity among laity, consecrated lay persons and religious priests, who are dedicated to working together closely."
"These are things that still have to be defined further," he said, noting that it is "important to point out that what has, in a way, overwhelmed the Legion regarding its scandals has not touched this great Regnum Christi Movement."
"Thus, there is a big 'slice,' a great ecclesiastical reality that remains intact and has been serving the Church, especially in the area of religious education and Catholic and Pontifical universities. That is promising."
Cardinal De Paolis also emphasized the interest of Pope Francis in the current state of the Legion recalling that once Benedict had resigned, he presented a new report on the Chapter's preparation once Francis was elected, stating that the pontiff "immediately called me."
"After a few days he wrote me a letter, in which he confirmed me in my work and approved the program I presented," the cardinal continued, adding that Pope Francis has been "very attentive, very close, and he rightly wants to follow the journey we are undertaking taking."
Using the pontiff's own words, Cardinal De Paolis stated that "he feels a great responsibility, as the Successor of Peter, to accompany religious and consecrated life."
Although there was no specific time limit set for the Vatican's delegation to the Legionaries of Christ, the cardinal explained that the "term was linked to the celebration of the Extraordinary General Chapter."
Thus, "once the Extraordinary Chapter has been celebrated, the mandate will be over."
