ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) ? The former student behind an aborted attack plot at a Florida university was working off a checklist that included plans to get drunk, pull a fire alarm and then "give them hell," authorities said Tuesday.

James Oliver Seevakumaran was crossing items off his list ahead of his planned attack on classmates with guns and homemade explosives, University of Central Florida Police Chief Richard Beary said at a news conference.

The list found along with his dead body early Monday included drinking at a bar near campus and pulling the fire alarm ? which investigators believe was meant to flush out victims. Beary says the final item was "give them hell."

Instead, Seevakumaran shot and killed himself as police officers arrived in response to the fire alarm and a 911 call from a roommate. Beary says authorities confirmed he had gone earlier to the bar and drank.

At the time of the attack, packages were waiting for Seevakumaran at a campus mailroom containing two 22-round magazines and a sling for his rifle and a firearms training DVD, officials said Tuesday.

Investigators have also said that they found an assault rifle, handgun, high capacity ammunition drums, hundreds of bullets and four makeshift explosives in a backpack near his body.

Beary said authorities still aren't aware of a motive or significant circumstance that led Seevakumaran to plan for an attack. The chief said no written explanation was left.

More details emerged Tuesday about Seevakumaran's solitary lifestyle. Seevakumaran's family said he was a loner who didn't have a history of violence in a brief statement released by authorities. Beary told the news conference that he acted alone and didn't have any friends.

"He didn't like to talk to people," Beary said.

The roommate who called 911 said Seevakumaran rarely left the dorm apartment, according to a dispatcher's notes. The caller also said Seevakumaran had pulled a gun on him.

In an interview with student publication Knightly News, Arabo "BK" Babakhani identified himself as the roommate who called 911. He said he slammed the door on Seevakumaran after seeing the gun and hid behind furniture.

Babakhani said Seevakumaran avoided eye contact, never had visitors to the dorm and never was seen talking to anyone on a cellphone.

"Instead of walking by me, sometimes he'll walk around me," the roommate said in an interview posted on the Knightly News website. "The only time he made solid eye contact with me is when he was pointing the gun at me."

Babakhani didn't immediately respond to messages left by The Associated Press.

AP reporters have also knocked on the doors of his mother and sister's homes, but no one answered.

Freshman mechanical engineer student Spencer Renfrow said when he would see Seevakumaran in the dorm's hallways and elevator, he would wave and Seevakumaran would wave back.

"Everything would seem fine," Renfrow said.

The business major, who held a job at an on-campus sushi restaurant, had never been seen by university counselors and had no disciplinary problems with other students, said university spokesman Grant Heston. Heston said that the school had been in the process of removing Seevakumaran from the dormitory because he hadn't enrolled for the current semester. He had attended the university from 2010 through the fall semester.

Some 500 students were evacuated from the dorm just after midnight Monday, and morning classes were canceled at the 51,000-student campus.

When The Going Gets Tough, Why Do We Ditch Our Faith?Freefall ...

I launched my first 1 Day Empowerment Workshop in America last week and in the process of 8 hours of live facilitation I was present to the amount of people hurting out there with life circumstances that have just robbed them of any freedom. ?What is alarming to me, and this is not an American thing, it is a human thing, is the amount of people who write off their faith (whatever that is for them) at a time when they need it most. ?So I thought I would focus todays blog on speaking into some preconceptions around faith/spirituality/religion/woo woo from my perspective and would love to generate discussion on this subject.

As a generalization the term Woo Woo, has adverse reaction. ?Someone who talks their faith but does not walk it. ?Someone who is not grounded, abdicating responsibility to some ethereal being outside of themselves, expecting miracles to occur. ?I do not discredit why woo woo gets a bad rap. ?To me we are spiritual beings having a human experience. ?To be spiritual is to be woo woo, but in my context, someone who has transcended their ego and walks their faith. ?To do this means to live a fearless existence.

Faith, even, seems to for some, to have a connotation of meaning ?religion?. ?I am not discrediting those that are religious. ?There are many paths to the mountain, what you call your faith, is a personal choice in my opinion. ?All I question is the authenticity of those who state that they have a faith but do not walk it in their lives; this is the height of hypocrisy from my perspective.

So what?s all the fuss about? ?Is it easier to completely and utterly discount the possibility of something because one cannot tangibly comprehend it than trust it implicitly and in so doing experience the unquantifiable evidence of ROI. ?The more you trust it the more you gain the validation you need.

We cannot evolve as a race if we do not trust the unknown. ?That is a fact. ?If we stay in the known realm we will stagnate as a species and that serves no one. ?Growing spiritually means to evolve to new levels of consciousness. ? We seem to complicate the hell out of something that is our inherent birthright. ?I have written before on this subject, and I will say it again here today ? we were born intuitive, born connected, born fearless, that too is a fact. ?Then we learnt to not trust from a very young age. ?To re-experience the authentic self, and come home to experiencing being fearless, being connected and living intuitively takes one to heal that which severed them in the first place.

Being someone who specializes in the area of linguistics, language as a coach intuitive, I am intrigued how words relating to spirituality and or religion can evoke such a strong response from people. ?I appreciate evolving to new levels of consciousness is not everyone?s trip but why the need to denigrate what others choose to believe? ?There is a lot of hypocrisy in the area of religion and or spirituality, I am the first to admit, however, there are those that walk it and for those who do they lead the way for what?s possible.

People tend to fall into 4 categories where spirituality/religion is concerned:-

Do not believe in anything
Believe in it but do not walk it ? espouse the virtues of their faith/religion but avoid at all costs living it
Believe in it, do their version of walking it when it suits, getting their version of results
Believe in it, walk it and experience a transcended existence as a result

I believe, and again this is only my belief based on my own life journey and those that I have had the privilege to coach, we have a choice to lead a connected existence or a disconnected existence. ?Life as a result will be experienced differently. ?Just because something is not tangible does not mean it does not exist. ?The disconnected realm is limited by design. ?The connected realm, which we were born into, is limitless in design.

Back to my opening statement. ?Why does ones faith/religion automatically, at a time of trauma in ones life bare the brunt of being written off? ?It is at these times that it is needed more than any other. ?Why, because we as human beings fundamentally feel justified to be a victim, feeling powerless to change a situation and have to blame somebody/something to abdicate taking responsibility for viewing things from a higher perspective. ?All of human suffering comes from the place of disconnection. ?Disconnection from self, disconnection from source. ?I completely understand why people do not wish to re-associate ? why would someone want to revisit the pain of what had them disassociate in the first place ? why, because until one does, one cannot lead an empowered life.

I will leave you in the inquiry today about what your resistance is to the terms ?spirituality and or religion?. ?I personally am not religious, however I respect those who walk their religion. ?I am however spiritual and I know what it takes to walk it, which is even more reason why people would shun even conceiving believing in it given what it would call you to do in this lifetime?

House Speaker urges for scrutiny on rights violations in Tindouf camps

Madrid -March 19, 2013 (MAP)

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Karim Ghellab, called for emergently scrutinizing human rights violations perpetrated by the Polisario against the population it is sequestering in the Tindouf camps (southern Algeria).

In an interview published Tuesday by the electronic site of Spanish daily ?La Razon?, the official stressed ?the emergency of examining the Polisario?s abuses and embezzlement of humanitarian aid sent to the population held forcibly in the camps.

He also called the UNHCR to conduct a population census and guarantee freedom of movement in these camps, stressing that Morocco has always been for dialogue to settle the artificial conflict around the Moroccan Sahara.

Morocco has spared no effort to reach a political consensus-based solution, he went on citing the Moroccan proposal to grant a large autonomy to the southern provinces that was labeled by the United Nations as a ?serious and credible? proposal.

ALMA telescope, the world's largest, will go deeper and farther than ever before

Scientists and politicians inaugurated a new telescope array, known as ALMA, on Wednesday. The equipment should shed light on planet formation, according to researchers. It is located in Chile where skies are clean and dry, optimal for astronomy.

By Clara Moskowitz,?SPACE.com / March 13, 2013

ALMA, a new radio telescope array, is built high up in the Chilean Atacama desert, at an altitude of 16,400 feet (5,000 meters).

SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMA, Chile

High up in the Chilean desert, on a plateau so dry and red it looks like it could be Mars, dozens of giant telescope antennas stare at the sky in unison.

They are?ALMA radio telescope???the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array ? and together they can see deeper and farther in long-wavelength millimeter light than any instrument before. The $1.3 billion observatory, the product of 30 years of planning and 10 years of construction, is already sighting new planets in the process of forming around stars, and some of the most distant, ancient galaxies known.

To celebrate the?inauguration of ALMA, officials and scientists gathered today (March 13) here at the observatory's Operations Support Facility, base camp for the telescope, which, at 5,000 meters (16,400 feet), is so high that scientists must breathe supplemental oxygen to work there.

"We are very proud to inaugurate this great project in which so many people have worked so hard for so long," said the president of Chile, Sebastian Pinera, who visited ALMA for the occasion. "ALMA will allow us to get deeper into the universe, but also into our own nature and our own lives."

To close the ceremony, Pinera gave an ALMA scientist permission to direct all of the radio dishes to rotate in unison to face the center of the galaxy. The great white bowls swiveled together in a huge arc, against a backdrop of swelling music, to the applause and cheers of the scientists watching via video from the Operations Support Facility. [8 Cool Facts About the ALMA Telescope]

Earlier, astronauts Tom Marshburn of NASA and Chris Hadfield of the Canadian Space Agency called into the ceremony from the International Space Station to wish the ALMA project good luck. "Enjoy your new discoveries!" Hadfield told the scientists.

Telescope teamwork

ALMA is an array of 66 radio dishes ? most 40 feet (12 meters) in diameter ? that work together to create images as detailed as if they were made by a single telescope 10 miles (16 kilometers) wide.

"At the end we will have a telescope that has an angular resolution better than the Hubble Space Telescope, but now at millimeter/submillimeter wavelengths," said ALMA's director, Thijs de Graauw.

By observing in this wavelength range of light, ALMA can probe cosmic phenomena that are invisible in optical light because they are shrouded in gas and dust. Dust particles in space absorb visual light and re-emit it in the millimeter and submillimeter range, so ALMA can see into, for example, the clouds of gas and dust where new stars are born, and the disks of debris that enshroud stars, from which planets are formed.

"ALMA will really unravel the physics of?how stars are born?and how they die," said Ewine van Dishoeck, an astronomer at Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands who is a member of the ALMA board. "ALMA will see planet formation in action, and it sees it at the locations also where terrestrial planets are made."

The project is a collaboration between North America, Europe and East Asia, with the cooperation of Chile. The three contributing regions each built about a third of ALMA's antennas, and split the other work as well. Scientists from the three partner regions will be awarded most of the telescope's observing time, with 10 percent being reserved for Chilean astronomers.?

Why you shouldn't tell stores your ZIP code

A. Pawlowski , NBC News contributor ? ? ? 8 hrs.

When it comes to paying with plastic at the cash register, you know the drill. A quick swipe, a signature and the contents of your shopping cart are yours. But sometimes the cashier asks for one more thing:

?May I have your ZIP code, please??

You may think it?s necessary to complete the transaction or it may seem like a harmless piece of information to give out, so you go ahead and reveal it.

But that simple decision can result in more junk mail heading your way and more telemarketers disrupting your day, said Paul Stephens, director of policy and advocacy for Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, a nonprofit watchdog group based in San Diego, Calif.

So what?s a credit card customer to do when a merchant asks for a ZIP code at the cash register?

?Just say no,? Stephens advised.

Two states have now declared that the practice violates their privacy laws. Last week, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts ruled that a ZIP code amounts to ?personal identification information.? The California Supreme Court made a similar ruling in 2011.

Here?s why privacy advocates are concerned.

Some stores gather ZIP codes for benign reasons, like trying to figure out where to open a new location based on where their customers live, but the overall trend is for companies to use the data to find out more about you and market directly to you, Stephens said.

When you swipe a credit card at the cash register, the merchant receives your name, card number and expiration date, but little else, Stephens said. Give the store your ZIP code, however, and you?re providing a valuable piece of the puzzle.

When paired with your name, it can help the merchant figure out your mailing address, phone number and specific demographic information, Stephens noted.

Now, the store can send you a catalog or even sell your profile to a data broker. It happens all the time, but most people have no idea of the implications of revealing their ZIP, he said.

?Obviously, if I go into a store and I make a purchase, I don?t expect ? unless I sign up for a mailing list ? that I?m going to start receiving catalogs from the store,? Stephens said.

The Massachusetts ruling last week followed a complaint brought against Michaels Stores by a customer who said she received marketing materials from the craft store chain after employees asked her to provide her ZIP code during purchases.

The California decision involved a Williams-Sonoma customer who alleged the company used her ZIP code to locate her home address.

Merchant trade associations counter that collecting such data is beneficial to consumers.

?Asking for generic information helps retailers tailor merchandise, customize advertising and marketing -- promotions, deals and coupons -- and individualizes services,? said Stephen Schatz, a spokesman for the National Retail Federation, in a statement .

?Thus, retailers may ask for general info such as ZIP codes in order to better know and serve their customers.?

In a brief filed in the Massachusetts case, the Retail Litigation Center also argued that stores collect ZIP codes for important business purposes, like analyzing demographics.

Still, Stephens said there should be no need to provide a ZIP code when asked by a clerk in a brick-and-mortar store.

But be aware that a credit card issuer sometimes asks for that information. American Express, for example, may prompt you to key in your ZIP code at some stores for security purposes. The information is not kept by the merchant and not used for marketing, the company says.

And you do still need to provide your ZIP when shopping online, whether to indicate where to ship your stuff or as part of the Address Verification System (AVS) online merchants use to fight fraud. Many gas stations use a similar method during pay-at-the-pump purchases.

In all other cases, proceed with caution.

Louisville top overall seed in NCAA tournament

Louisville earned the top overall seed in the NCAA tournament Sunday, while Kansas, Indiana and Gonzaga also received No. 1s after a topsy-turvy regular season and another round of weekend upsets.

Then there's that other team from the Bluegrass State. Kentucky won't even get a chance to defend its 2012 national title, denied a spot in the 68-team field when the brackets came out thanks to an up-and-down season.

The selection committee had its work cut out after five teams swapped the top ranking in The Associated Press poll, capped by the West Coast Conference champion Zags (30-2) moving to the lead spot for the first time in school history. Committee chairman Mike Bobinski said last week he thought as many as seven teams could be in the running for No. 1 seeds.

Of course, only four spots were available. It was No. 4-ranked Louisville (29-5) that was picked to lead the field after sharing the Big East regular-season title, then pulling off a stunning turnaround to beat Syracuse in the final of the conference tournament for its 10th straight victory. The Cardinals came back from a 16-point deficit early in the second half for a 78-61 romp.

No. 7 Kansas (29-5) moved up to take the second overall seed after an impressive run through the Big 12 tournament, capped by a 70-54 victory over rival Kansas State in the title game. No. 3 Indiana (28-6) is third overall in the field despite falling to Wisconsin in the Big Ten semifinals. The Zags claimed the last of the coveted No. 1 seeds, edging out Atlantic Coast Conference champion Miami.

The Hurricanes, who became the first ACC team to be denied a top seed after winning both the regular season and the conference tournament, were among the No. 2 seeds with ACC rival Duke, Georgetown from the Big East, and Big Ten tournament champion Ohio State.

"Miami had a tremendous year. They are a great basketball team," Bobinski said. "If we had five spots, Miami would be there with us. We have great appreciation for the year Miami has had. In the final analysis, we put Gonzaga just ahead of them. But it was very, very close."

The tournament begins Tuesday with a pair of games in Dayton. Everyone is trying to get to Atlanta for the Final Four, which begins April 6 at the Georgia Dome.

On Thursday in the Midwest Regional, Louisville gets to rub salt in Kentucky's wounds by playing at Rupp Arena against either Liberty or North Carolina A&T, who meet in one of the "First Four" games in Dayton. That same day, Gonzaga takes on Southern in the second round of the West Regional at Salt Lake City.

On Friday, Kansas will stay close to home in Kansas City, Mo., to face Western Kentucky in a South Regional second-round game. Indiana, meanwhile, opens in Dayton, Ohio, at the East Regional against either LIU Brooklyn or James Madison, another of the First Four contests.

One thing is for sure in this most uncertain season: There won't be a repeat champion.

A year after taking its eighth national title ? only UCLA has won more ? Kentucky's success in restocking each year with the best one-and-done prospects hit a roadblock. The Wildcats never meshed as a unit, then lost the best of the freshmen when Nerlens Noel went down with a season-ending knee injury.

An upset over Florida boosted their stock heading to the SEC tournament. But the Wildcats turned in a miserable performance in Nashville, Tenn., losing to Vanderbilt 64-48 in the quarterfinals, and will have to settle for a bid from the second-tier National Invitation Tournament.

On March 17, 2013, at 1:28 a.m. EDT, the coronal mass ejection (CME) from March 15 passed by NASA's Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) as it approached Earth. Upon interacting with the giant magnetic bubble surrounding Earth, the magnetosphere, the CME caused a kind of solar storm known as a geomagnetic storm. The storm initially caused a mild storm rated on NOAA's geomagnetic storm scales as a G2 on a scale from G1 to G5, and subsequently subsided to a G1. In the past, storms of this strength have caused auroras near the poles but have not disrupted electrical systems on Earth or interfered with GPS or satellite-based communications systems.

NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (http://swpc.noaa.gov) is the United States Government official source for space weather forecasts. For this storm, they predict:

"Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 60 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Weak power grid fluctuations can occur.
Spacecraft - Minor impact on satellite operations possible.
Aurora - Aurora may be visible at high latitudes, i.e., northern tier of the U.S. such as northern Michigan and Maine."

RBS India to cut staff; winds down retail, commercial ops | Firstpost

REUTERS ? Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) (RBS.L) is to lay off staff in India as a part of its plan to wind down its retail and commercial operations in the country, it said in a statement, without specifying how many employees would be affected.

The announcement comes after British Prime Minister David Cameron last week said that he wants the state-controlled bank to speed its restructuring, making it clear he is keen to return it to private ownership as soon as possible.

The British government owns 82 percent of RBS, having pumped in 45 billion pounds of capital when the bank neared collapse in 2008.

A plan by RBS to sell the Indian businesses to HSBC Holdings (HSBA.L) fell through in November last year, more than two years after the two banks began negotiations.

RBS is scaling back its international operations after the 2008 bailout and has been urged by Britain?s Finance Minister George Osborne to focus on domestic activities.

?There is no impact on RBS?s markets, international banking and private banking businesses in India,? the bank said. (Reporting by Aradhana Aravindan and Sumeet Chatterjee in Mumbai; Editing by David Goodman)

Guest Blogger: 5 Garden Shed Transformation Ideas

?Guest Blogger #849, Entry #2034, January 22, 2012

If you are someone who is fortunate enough to have a garden shed in your backyard, congratulations! Sure, to you, it might initially seem like nothing more than a small place to put your gardening tools, but with a bit of creativity and a few dollars (plus a bit of patience and perhaps a hired contractor in some cases), it can be a lot more to you and your family than just where the lawn mower goes. Don?t believe us?

Garden shed renovation idea ? peaceful retreat

Just check out these awesome uses for a garden shed:

Guest room.

If you are someone who has visitors come on a fairly regular basis, but you find yourself putting them on an air mattress or the couch, your garden shed could serve as a nice alternative. Now, if you have no electricity in there, to a certain extent, it could end up being a bit of a project but websites like HGTV and Network can easily walk you through what?s required (along with providing recommendations on where to go if it?s more than you can do alone).

Home office.

Do you work from home but sometimes due to all of the ?family traffic?, you find that it can be hard to concentrate? While you could certainly sound proof a room in your home, don?t overlook the garden shed out back. If you clean it out, add a coat of paint and install some nice lighting, it could be the perfect ?office away from home? solution.

Greenroom.

People with ?green thumbs? not only enjoy planting and pruning, but they usually want to do it in a space that?s quiet so that they concentrate without any distractions. In coming to a decision about if the garden shed is an ideal spot for your flowers and plants, just remember to keep in mind that the main thing that plants need (as it relates to a green room) are humidity, protection from extreme weather and plenty of sunlight. If that is the kind of environment that your garden shed can provide, then you?ve just found yourself your own little greenroom.

Kid?s playhouse.

What parent hasn?t found themselves wishing that their children had a place where they could be (basically) as loud as they want without being too far away from the house? If you live in a safe neighborhood with a fenced-in yard, that is a great atmosphere for converting a garden shed into a child?s playhouse. To make it even more fun, you can tell your child that it?s like having one of their own?portable buildings?where they can even help to decorate by picking out the paint they would like, bringing some of their toys into the shed and perhaps even making a sign that says ?open? and ?closed? so that it can serve as their own little hideout.

Bathroom (or outdoor shower).

While we don?t live in The Little House on the Prairie days (which means we don?t need an outhouse), there are still many people who will change their garden shed into either an outdoor (which is basically just an additional bathroom) or outdoor shower spot. For more information on how to do make one, visit YouTube or Do It Yourself and put ?how to make an outdoor bathroom? in the search field.

Hubble image: The galaxy puzzle in the constellation of Centaurus

Jan. 7, 2013 ? The Universe loves to fool our eyes, giving the impression that celestial objects are located at the same distance from Earth. A good example can be seen in a new spectacular image produced by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The galaxies NGC 5011B and NGC 5011C are imaged against a starry background.

Located in the constellation of Centaurus, the nature of these galaxies has puzzled astronomers. NGC 5011B (on the right) is a spiral galaxy belonging to the Centaurus Cluster of galaxies lying 156 million light-years away from Earth. Long considered part of the faraway cluster of galaxies as well, NGC 5011C (the bluish galaxy at the center of the image) is a peculiar object, with the faintness typical of a nearby dwarf galaxy, and the size of an early-type spiral.

Astronomers were curious about the appearance of NGC 5011C. If the two galaxies were at roughly the same distance from Earth, they would expect the pair to show signs of interactions between them. However, there was no visual sign of interaction between the two. How could this be possible?

To solve this problem, astronomers studied the velocity at which these galaxies are receding from the Milky Way and found that NGC 5011C is moving away far more slowly than its apparent neighbor, and its motion is more consistent with that of the nearby Centaurus A group at a distance of 13 million light-years. Thus, NGC 5011C, with only about ten million times the mass of the sun in its stars, must indeed be a nearby dwarf galaxy rather than a member of the distant Centaurus Cluster as was believed for many years.

Problem solved.

This image was taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys using visual and infrared filters.

How U.S. states decide which child receives early intervention for developmental problems

Jan. 7, 2013 ? A new study by researchers at the University of Colorado School of Medicine has found large differences in the criteria that U.S. states use to determine eligibility for Medicare Part C early intervention services for infants and toddlers who have developmental delays. A developmental delay is any significant lag in a child's development as compared with typical child development.

Current eligibility criteria for Part C services vary from state to state. With their colleagues, Steven Rosenberg, PhD, associate professor, University of Colorado Department of Psychiatry and Cordelia Robinson, PhD, RN, professor of Pediatrics and director of JFK Partners have found that many states make too many children candidates for Part C early intervention. This is a problem because although states make many children with mild problem candidates for services no state serves enough children to cover all those who have moderate or severe delays.

"States need to look at the criteria they use to determine which infants and toddlers are eligible for early intervention. They need to ask themselves why they have such broad criteria when they can't serve all children under 3 years who have severe developmental delays. It may help for states to adopt more uniform eligibility criteria," said Rosenberg.

The article "Part C Early Intervention for Infants and Toddlers: Percentage Eligible Versus Served" was published January 2013 in the journal Pediatrics.

OnBlog: 5 new digital buyer insights from NAR/Google

By Jackie Berg, Marketing Manager

Have you read the joint report from NAR and Google on the digital house hunt? It?s chock full of exploration and Google-provided insights on how consumers are using different combinations of web, mobile, and tablet to find their new homes. Some of the report echoes what we have been saying for years: today?s digital consumer (which includes 90% of those buying homes today) does their homework ahead of time.

What did surprise me from the report was just how much real estate-related local searches have grown. Consumers ?switch devices to suit their needs at any given moment? and search carelessly, bouncing back and forth ?to look at ratings and reviews, styles and prices, and then search[ing] again.?

Here are 5 insights you don?t want to miss:

Real estate related searches on Google have grown 253% in the past 4 years.
69% of home shoppers who take action on a real estate brand website begin their research with a local term.
89% of new home shoppers use a mobile search engine at the onset and throughout their research ? wow!
It?s not just Gen Y: 75% of senior home buyers go online to search for a home.
52% of actions on a real estate brand site directly from a local search on a search engine.

Another point that stuck out is that most internet browsers use multiple sources while researching a home. Is it because they?re not getting what they need from the brand sites? Ask yourself: do you have Community, School, Points of Interest, Neighborhood-level Content, and Home Sales Trends buyers demand? Are they engaged on mobile and tablet with continuity?

Read on below for a great depiction of why you should be thinking about enhancing your brand experience across devices. It might be the best 5 minutes you invest today.

Helicopter crashes in Peru, killing all seven aboard

LIMA (Reuters) - A helicopter carrying seven people crashed in Peru's Amazon jungle on Monday and all aboard perished, a judicial official said on Monday.

Corpac, Peru's air transport agency, said the helicopter was operated by the local unit of U.S.-based Columbia Helicopters. Columbia is known for its tandem rotor heavy-lift aircraft used in logging and oil exploration work. Columbia's Lima office declined to comment.

Marco Ochoa, the judicial official, said five U.S. citizens and two Peruvians were on the helicopter and that rescue crews were recovering their bodies.

Local media reports said the people on board worked for Petrominerales Ltd, a Canadian-based oil exploration firm focused on Latin America. Petrominerales' Lima office declined to comment.

German state of Schleswig-Holstein orders Facebook to allow pseudonyms

While some countries are insisting that web users hand over their real names, a German state has ordered Facebook to start letting people use fake handles online "immediately." The office of the Data Protection Commissioner in the state of Schleswig-Holstein said that Facebook's real name policy violates the German Telemedia Act and promised to fine the company $26,000 if it fails to allow pseudonyms within two weeks. The decree doesn't hold water in other German regions, but Schleswig-Holstein's commissioner said that colleagues elsewhere agree with the order, and that his state is being used a pilot to test the law. Facebook said it'll fight the order "vigorously," calling it "a waste of German taxpayer's money," and added that its policy already complies with European laws. We'll have to see whether this turns into yet another privacy tiff with the nation, or if it's just a lot of sturm & drang in a teapot.

Amy Winehouse inquest to be heard again

LONDON (AP) ? Officials in London say the inquest into the death of soul singer Amy Winehouse was overseen by a coroner who lacked the proper qualifications and will be re-heard next month.

Camden Council says a new hearing will take place on Jan. 8.

Winehouse was found dead in her London home in July 2011 at age 27. An inquest in October 2011 found the "Back to Black" singer had died of accidental alcohol poisoning.

Assistant deputy coroner Suzanne Greenaway, who oversaw the inquest, resigned the next month after her qualifications were questioned. She had been appointed by her husband, Andrew Reid, the coroner for inner north London.

Reid was suspended, and resigned earlier this month.

Winehouse family spokesman Chris Goodman said Monday that family had not requested a new hearing.

Feet do actually affect all of these. Consider this: over grown toe nails, ingrown toe nails, plantar warts, athletes foot skin rash, corns, blisters, or anything that causes pain and imbalance will affect the way you stand, walk, and feel.

Gift ideas: ? Make a foot health gift basket with fancy wrapping. Include the following:

A toenail clipper set which should include an emery board or file.

Comfortable gel inserts for your shoes.

Packages of aromatherapy foot soak mix or make your own with bath salts and Epsom salts. Add your favorite essential oil for the scent and sit back for a long foot soak.

Bright colored nail polish, nail polish remover, and the foam forms that seperate the toes for painting.

Soft footie socks

Foot lotion

Soft slippers with a rubber sole for support.

Wooden massage roller, can easily be found in department stores. Roll your foot over the movable wooden balls for a great foot massage that increases circulation to the toes.

Calus stone for removing dry skin

A foot bath tub

Buy yourself a good fitting pair of shoes.

A first aid kit for feet to include band-aids, corn pads, wart remover, cuticle cream, or anything else you can think of that will make your feet feel their best.

The above suggestions may not seem glamorous to some but if you shop around you can find some really cool items for foot health. Many of the foot health ideas suggested can also be found at home among the items you already own. Just gather them in a cute basket to give yourself a foot spa during the holidays. Foot health matters and your overall well being and fitness depends on it.

The ?Psychic Being? in Savitri ? An Initial Exploration - edgardo4s ...

Savitri, the book of revelations, is Sri Aurobindo?s magnum opus, the book of secrets into inner worlds and worlds above, holding the key to their discovery, to self-mastery and more. The Psychic Being, a central being within, whose discovery in life is pivotal to self-growth and discovery, a widening of consciousness which embraces all, is a ever-recurring theme in Sri Aurobindo?s philosophy. Does Sri Aurobindo mention the term ?Psychic Being? in Savitri? Does he describe it? If so where and how? These questions led to this initial exploration in Savitri, seeking the ?Psychic Being?. An idea of the ?Psychic Being? as glimpsed from literature on Integral Yoga is presented, followed by an examination of part of Canto 5, Book 7: ?Finding of the Soul? for reference to the Psychic Being. Some conclusions are then drawn from the brief study.

The Psychic Being and the Soul - Some Explanations

The Psychic Being is one of the central themes in Sri Aurobindo?s Integral Yoga which seeks the transformation of matter such that it would be capable of revealing the face of the Divine immanent in all of creation and beyond. The agent whose task it is to bring about that transformation of nature - the physical, vital and mental - is the Psychic being, which is a portion of the divine put into all life, and in man being given the opportunity to express itself and take over his nature, effecting a gradual transformation of all of his nature such that Divinity may express itself through the ?divinised mud?.

What is the relationship between the soul and the psychic being? Is there any essential difference between them? Further reading reveals an essential difference between the Soul and the Psychic Being. In Integral Yoga, the soul state is differentiated into two states, namely ?the soul in its essence? and ?the soul in its evolved, individualised form?. The soul in its essence is what is referred to in various terms in this yoga as ?psyche, psychic essence, soul spark or soul element? (Sri Aurobindo, 1989, p. iii). It is by this soul spark or soul element that ?we exist and persist as individual beings in Nature? (Aurobindo, 1970a, p. 891). The soul in its evolved, individualized form is referred to variously as ?psychic being, psychic personality, soul-form? or soul personality? (Sri Aurobindo, 1989, p. iii). This is the soul personality that evolves with the growth of consciousness during each life-time. The Psychic Being then is the evolving soul.

The term ?Psychic? is derived from the Greek term, ?psukhe?, which means the soul. In the many layers that make up the being, the Psychic Being is the innermost being which lends its support to all the other parts of the being, both inner and outer, the layers belonging to both the Purusha (Self) and Prakriti (nature or manifested self). It is described as a ?spark or portion of the Divine? present in all forms of creation. The Psychic Being is a flowering of what is called the Psyche or Psychic entity or soul. This psyche grows, in the course of its evolution and through its various experiences in life-times into an individual psychic personality in the human. This individualized personality is termed the Psychic Being (Dalal, 2007, p. 204).

Here is an extract of Sri Aurobindo?s description of these terms in ?Synthesis of Yoga? (Aurobindo, 1997, p. 141):

?But the true soul of man is not there; (heart of desire) it is in the true invisible heart hidden in some luminous cave of the nature: there under some infiltration of the divine Light is our soul, a silent inmost being of which few are even aware; for if all have a soul, few are conscious of their true soul or feel its direct impulse. There dwells the little spark of the Divine which supports this obscure mass of our nature and around it grows the psychic being, the formed soul or the real Man within us. It is as this psychic being in him grows and the movements of the heart reflect its divinations and impulsions that man becomes more and more aware of his soul, ceases to be a superior animal, and, awakened to the glimpses of the godhead within him, admits more and more its intimations of a deeper life and consciousness and an impulse towards things divine. It is one of the decisive moments of the integral Yoga when this psychic being liberated, brought out from the veil to the front, can pour the full flood of its divinations, seeings and impulsions on the mind, life and body of man and begin to prepare the upbuilding of divinity in the earthly nature.?

The Psychic Being in Savitri

We have a sense of the significance of the Psychic Being and its emergence in man as a decisive action in the course of individual evolution. However, in ?Savitri?, Sri Aurobindo?s magnum opus, it is quite a wonder that the term psychic being occurs nowhere in the 24,000 odd lines that constitute this epic poem, as revealed by a word search. However, its closest root, the term ?Psyche? occurs once, as described below (Aurobindo, 1970b, p. 487).

But for such vast spiritual change to be,

Out of the mystic cavern in man?s heart

The heavenly Psyche must put off her veil

And step into common nature?s crowded rooms

And stand uncovered in that nature?s front

And rule its thoughts and fill the body and life.

The Psyche, in Sri Aurobindo?s yoga is a direct reference to the ?soul? or ?innermost part of the being?(Sri Aurobindo, 1989, p. iii) as opposed to the psychic being. In other words, it is ?the soul; the essence of the soul; spark of the Divine which is there in all things.?

Going through the first 201 lines (in the first 5 pages, from pg. 522-527) of Canto 5; Book 7, there is some indication that Sri Aurobindo was referring to the Psychic Being, although the term psychic being was never used. These following lines especially hold the clue to the fact that Sri Aurobindo was referring to the Psychic Being (Aurobindo, 1970b, pp. 526, 527):

But since she knows the toil of mind and life

As a mother feels and shares her children?s lives,

She puts forth a small portion of herself,

A being no bigger than the thumb of man

Into a hidden region of the heart

To face the pang and to forget the bliss,

To share the suffering and endure earth?s wounds

And labour mid the labour of the stars.

The key to the fact that Sir Aurobindo was indeed referring to the Psychic Being appears in the line, ?A being no bigger than the thumb?. This line is a direct reference to the Upanishadic principle of the caitya purusa (Sri Aurobindo, 1989). It is in the ?Katho Upanishad?, that the Caitya Purusa is described as a being no bigger than the thumb. The subsequent lines give ample description of the being that is no bigger than the thumb is an out flowering or the putting out of this being in question by ?The Spirit?s conscious representative?, referred to in the feminine in order to bear nature?s pangs and toil with her. The Soul-Psychic being relationship echoed in these lines above are taken up again in ?Synthesis of Yoga?. Sri Aurobindo points out (Aurobindo, 1997, pp. 153-154) that even when a semblance of the Psychic Being is present, ?it is still in all but a few a smaller portion of the being??no bigger in the mass of the body than the thumb of a man? was the image used by the ancient seers..? He is referring here to the Caitya Purusa pointed out by the ancient seers, referred to him as the Psychic Being in later works.

Elsewhere too, in ?Synthesis of Yoga?, Sri Aurobindo makes a direct reference to the Psychic Being as the Caitya Purusa (Aurobindo, 1997, p. 238 - 239) as in :

? ??this veiled psychic entity is the flame of the Godhead always alight within us, inextinguishable even by that dense unconsciousness of any spiritual self within which obscures our outward nature. It is a flame born out of the Divine and, luminous inhabitant of the Ignorance, grows in it till it is able to turn it towards the Knowledge. It is the concealed Witness and Control, the hidden Guide, the Daemon of Socrates, the inner light or inner voice of the mystic. It is that which endures and is imperishable in us from birth to birth, untouched by death, decay or corruption, an indestructible spark of the Divine. Not the unborn Self or Atman, for the Self even in presiding over the existence of the individual is aware always of its universality and transcendence, it is yet its deputy in the forms of Nature, the individual soul, caitya purusa, supporting mind, life and body, standing behind the mental, the vital, the subtle-physical being in us and watching and profiting by their development and experience.?

We can be quite assured that Sri Aurobindo was referring to the Psychic Being through these cross-references. A further confirmation of this can also be drawn by analyzing the content in the following lines (Aurobindo, 1970b, pp. 526 -527) as follows:

A being stood immortal in transience,

Deathless dallying with momentary things,

In whose wide eyes of tranquil happiness

Which pity and sorrow could not abrogate

Infinity turned its gaze on finite shapes:

This being is the soul, transcendent, ?Observer of the silent steps of the hours, Eternity upheld the minute?s acts And the passing scenes of the Everlasting?s play?.. The Spirit?s conscious representative,..? However, to help the natural portion of man to receive and bear the impacts of life,

She puts forth a small portion of herself,

A being no bigger than the thumb of man

Into a hidden region of the heart

To face the pang and to forget the bliss,

To share the suffering and endure earth?s wounds

And labour mid the labour of the stars.

This being, ?no bigger than the thumb of man? is an out-flowering of the Soul entity or soul element, as described in these lines, something put forth by the Soul. Savitri gains proximity with The Soul through her Psychic Being. It is likely that in Savitri, her Psychic Being was fully formed and therefore eventually opened the gateway to the Soul, with which she merges, as the forthcoming lines depict.

Here in this chamber of flame and light they met;

They looked upon each other, knew themselves,

The secret deity and its human part,

The calm immortal and the struggling soul.

Then with a magic transformation?s speed

They rushed into each other and grew one.

It is to be understood that the soul spark or psychic spark is present in life forms, but in the more evolved human nature it is given a chance to step forward, influence at first the development of the nature - the physical, mental and vital - and eventually, use perfected nature as its means of self-expression which is a crucial step leading to the divine manifestation upon earth. The mental mind perceives this in a somewhat crude chronological order. It appears that soul states flow over each other, although there is apparent an evolutionary development. In this canto, it appears that Sri Aurobindo describes the psychic being as something that is encountered on the way to the Soul, something that aids the eventual soul contact.

The experience of diving into these few lines of Savitri cannot be described in words. It was a momentary dip into an ocean of delight and wonder, something in one knowing fully well that the best and brightest treasures were far, far away, beyond the clutches of this mind or this intellect. There was a sense of silence in the lines that continuously led and also trailed behind the search, there were deeper voices that hummed the secret of the route and the surface being knew itself ill equipped for that journey. A surrender total was demanded, nothing more, nothing less, to open oneself and wait in silent aspiration. One perhaps never finishes with Savitri. Fresh windows open each time something within us reaches out to Savitri. So it is with this initial exploration. It continues.
