Self Improvement | How The Online World Helps Self Development ...
By: Marie Felipe -
The online world plays a major role in today?s self development. It forms a surrogate reality for some, allows them to play interactive multiplayer games, browse the World Wide Web to get information on anything they wish, connect and message anyone across the world, and even enroll at online schools. Last but not the least, the online world also created online communities that unite people of different cultures and social classes together.
Those are just some of the proofs that the online world had allowed so many people to grow and be a better version of them. I know because I?ve witnessed a few. Let me share with you some of my friend?s story that had been affected greatly by the online world.
The Social Media Celebrity
I have a friend who is a loner when we are in high school, she cant even look people straight to the eye. Now, she had like 4000 friends in Facebook, 10,000 followers in twitter and the top 5 most visited Linkedin. Indeed social media had helped her become her true self. She always had trouble communicating with other people face to face due to insecurity within herself. Facebook, My Space, Twitter, Linkedin and many other social media outlets allow people to communicate with family, friends and business associates by allowing them to post their daily routines and announcements to everyone reading their postings. It is easier for her this way to make friends and build her confidence. And now she is a social media celebrity. Doesn?t stop there too, she just used social media and the online world as a stepping stone, now she can freely meet with other people whether it is for business or for fun.
YouTuber
YouTube is another social media outlet that allows people to upload videos of themselves online. People like to be the star of their own 10 minute reality show and thanks to YouTube, now they can. I love watching Kevjumba ? one of the most famous YouTuber out there. And in his videos, he always say that he used to be a shy freak. YouTube became his avenue of expressing himself. Shy people along with anyone in general public use this technology to showcase themselves without any form of ridicule or immediate feedback. Plus These videos can be monetized and depending upon traffic it can be a money making outlet like Kevjumba is doing right now.
From Being Shy To Being A Speaker
Shy people do not initiate conversations easily with new people, or tend to speak in public forums. The online world has allowed shy people to use these outlets to lose their fears and inhibitions of speaking out on a specific issue or communicating to the public. This I can vow to be true as I witness this with my best friend. She?s not shy when talking and having fun with people, but when it comes to public speaking and voicing out her opinions, she always stutter. And boy it?s such a waste. Because she is so intelligent that she is our valedictorian. The online world helped her voice out her opinions, first by blogging. Then she went unto podcast and online streaming. The online world had become her blanket or support to voice out her opinions and now she is working as a campaign manager for one of the running senators in our country.
None of these great things would have happened without the help of the online world. Without a great internet service provider like the ones you can get here http://www.internetserviceprovidersbyzipcode.com their voices or their true selves would forever be silent. So if you are one shy dude or girl out there, use the power of internet today to develop self confidence and be on the road for a new you.
Author Bio: Marie Felipe is a web content writer for more than 6 years now. The online world had done so many major things in her life including it being her source of income for her only daughter.

Government Loan Backed Fisker Automotive Furloughs Employees ...
Ruh-roh! Looks like another government-backed ?green manufacturer? may be headed for bankruptcy. Fisker Automotive, a government loan recipient that produces electric/hybrid cars, has furloughed ?its employees just weeks after its founder resigned following a management fight. From CBS Los Angeles:
Anaheim-based Fisker?Automotive?Inc. has furloughed its employees two weeks after the company?s founder, Henrik Fisker, resigned as executive chairman during a management dispute.
The office has been closed since Friday, March 22, and will remain closed through Sunday, March 31.
The company is attempting to?cut costs?as it faces an April 22 deadline to make a payment on a loan from the U.S. government, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The car-maker stopped manufacturing its electric-gas?hybrids?last July and has faced recalls associated with its lithium-ion batteries, according to the Orange County Register.
The company, which once employed roughly 600 workers, says 220 workers will return to work on Monday.
Another government-backed green energy company is about to go under? Imagine that.
Fisker is about to end up like Solyndra, Satcon,?A123 Systems, and the other 30 or so Obama-backed ?green energy? failures. Who saw that coming? Oh, wait? everyone.

Welcome back to BracketRacket, your one-stop shopping place for all things NCAA.
It's our first edition for the regional finals, with Syracuse and Wichita State having secured the first spots in the Final Four. Stops along our tour include: the bracket-busting Shockers, Coach K's ever-present concerns about conference realignment, former Georgia Tech star John Salley's excitement at having the Final Four in Atlanta, a heartwarming tale of sportsmanship and a farewell to tournament darling Florida Gulf Coast.

THE SHOCKING SHOCKERS
Wichita State has gone from a ninth-seeded mid-major aiming to win an NCAA game to an unexpected arrival in the Final Four.
Just how unexpected?
According to ESPN, less than 1 percent ? 0.24 percent, to be exact ? of 8.15 million brackets submitted in ESPN's Fantasy Tournament Challenge had the Shockers reaching the national semifinals.
Head over to Yahoo! for its Tourney Pick 'Em contest, and only 32 percent of more than 3.3 million brackets had the Shockers even winning their opener against Pittsburgh, much less beating top seed Gonzaga and No. 2 seed Ohio State on the way to the West Region title.
___
WICHITA STATE 101
Since Wichita State isn't a household name, here's a quick primer to impress friends with your Missouri Valley Conference knowledge:
The school opened in 1895 as Fairmount College, then became the Municipal University of Wichita in 1926 on the way to becoming a state university in 1964. It has an enrollment of 14,893 students.
The "Shockers" mascot is short for "Wheatshockers" and recalls when students shocked wheat to earn money during the harvest season, according to the school's web site.
While the Shockers reached the Final Four in 1965 and won the College World Series in 1989, the most successful athletic program has been ? surprise! ? bowling. Wichita State has 19 national championships between its men's and women's programs since 1975.
Among the school's biggest sports names: former NFL coach Bill Parcells, a former Shockers football player; former NBA player Xavier "The X-Man" McDaniel; and former big leaguer Joe Carter, who hit the World Series-clinching home run for Toronto in 1993 against Philadelphia.

K, THE ACC AND THE FUTURE
AP Sports Writer Michael Marot reports from Indianapolis that Duke's Mike Krzyzewski is thinking about more than just Sunday's regional final against future Atlantic Coast Conference member Louisville.
"For all these schools that have joined, it makes (the ACC) the most powerful basketball conference, I think ever," Krzyzewski said Saturday of the latest round of conference realignment. "I hope our league is able to understand the assets that we've accumulated and what it does to the assets we already have. I think if positioned properly, it sets us apart from anybody, and we should look at where football is or whatever."
Next year, the league will add Syracuse ? which beat Marquette in a Big East matchup for the East Regional title Saturday ? along with Pittsburgh and Notre Dame. The Cardinals are scheduled to join in 2014 when Maryland bolts for the Big Ten.
Krzyzewski is already urging ACC officials to start contemplating what they need to do to avoid other leagues from poaching ACC schools. He said the best way is to rethink how the ACC does business ? down to developing its own TV network or where it holds its tournament.
"In other words, to take a real close look at our league with the new members and say: Why are we different, why are we better and how can we be the top league?" Krzyzewski said. "If we don't do that, then we're negligent, to be quite frank with you."
___
CIVIC PRIDE
John Salley says he'll feel like a proud host when the Final Four returns to Atlanta.
"I cannot wait," Salley told AP Sports Writer Charles Odum. "Ever since last year, I've been talking about this to all my friends. I get to show all the people in Atlanta what I do, my hosting technique."
Atlanta was Salley's home from 1982-86 when he played for Bobby Cremins at Georgia Tech. The 6-foot-11 Salley helped lead the Yellow Jackets to their first ACC championship in 1985, though that team fell a game short of the Final Four.
"That school is where I grew up," he said. "That city is where I became a man."
For the Final Four, the former NBA player is joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as celebrity hosts for the NCAA official VIP pregame hospitality event hosted by PrimeSport. For one price, fans can attend the VIP pregame events at the Georgia World Congress Center and then attend the games next door at the Georgia Dome.
The packages can include food, drinks, entertainment, tickets and even travel to Atlanta.
"It's the party of all parties," Salley said. "I put on a good show, so I've been told."
More information about the packages can be found at www.ncaa.com/hospitality .

DON'T LOOK AWAY
News flash: people like to watch NCAA tournament games on television, especially when upstarts and big-name programs are involved.
CBS Sports and Turner Sports reported Saturday that Friday's round of 16 games on CBS and TBS ? featuring 15-seed Florida Gulf Coast along with perennial heavyweights Duke, Kansas, Louisville and Michigan State ? earned an 8.2 household rating and 16 share. That was up 22 percent from last year and the highest for a Friday regional semifinal since 1994.
Overall, the tournament is averaging a 6.1 household rating and a 13 share for its highest ratings since 1998.

A FAREWELL TO DUNK CITY
In honor of Florida Gulf Coast's NCAA run, check out this compilation of moments that captured why "Dunk City" was just so much fun this March (check out the 1:25 mark against Georgetown): http://deadsp.in/ZKT5dw
___
STAT OF THE DAY
Kansas' loss to Michigan on Friday night left Louisville as the last No. 1 seed in the tournament.
This is only the third time in the 29 years since the tournament expanded to 64 teams that only one No. 1 seed reached the regional finals, according to STATS. The only other times that a single No. 1 made it to the round of eight came in 2000 with eventual champion Michigan State and 2011 with Kansas ? which fell to VCU to miss the Final Four.
___
QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I don't think we're Cinderella at all. Cinderellas usually are done by this stage. If you get to this point, you can win the whole thing. You beat a No. 1 seed and a No. 2 seed. I think Cinderella just found one glass slipper. I don't think she found four. So that's just the way it is." ? Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall after Saturday's win against Ohio State.

Crowdsourcing the WUWT Paleoclimate Reference Page ? Continued

By WUWT regular ?Just The Facts?
During the first crowdsourcing thread for the under construction WUWT Paleoclimate Reference Page, we had a number solid recommendations and WUWT moderator D.B. Stealey dropped a virtual mountain of links into comments here and here. The result is that the original WUWT Paleoclimate Reference Page has more than doubled in size and continues to grow as more comments from the prior crowdsourcing thread are added. Given the large number of additions and the fact that we now have a number of near-duplicate graphs, it seemed prudent to continue this crowdsourcing exercise to gain further input on the validity and value of each and all of the graphs.
There?will likely be at least one more crowdsourcing thread for the?WUWT Paleoclimate Reference Page, in order to assess a number of the currently disputed, questionable and falsified graphs, including Briffa et al., 1998, Jones et al., 1998, Mann et al., 1998, Pollack et al., 1998, Jones et al., 1998, Mann et al., 1999, Mann et al., 2000, Briffa et al., 2001, Esper et al., 2002 and Jones and Mann 2004, AR4 section 6.6.1.1 2007 and Marcott et al. 2013. Note that two (1, 2) of the graphs currently on the Paleoclimate page have a Disputed label, as per this comment and Alley?s own graph, the x axis label should read Years Before Present (1950 AD) not (2000 AD)
However, disputes aside, a gigantic thank you to D.B. Stealey, and all of those who have contributed to the WUWT Paleoclimate Reference Page. The following are some of the new additions to the WUWT Paleoclimate Reference Page:

Emails Show Ex-Deutsche Trader Lippmann Wanted Lehman ...
By Patrick Fitzgerald
Former Deutsche Bank star trader Greg Lippmann considered taking on some of Lehman Brothers? derivatives positions in the days following the investment bank?s September 2008 collapse, a deal that could have been worth more than $500 million to the investment bank?s creditors, according to newly released emails.
Lippmann, who made more than $1 billion for the German bank when he bet against subprime mortgage debt during the housing bubble, wanted to ?step into? the in-the-money credit default swaps of Lehman Brothers Specialty Finance, the heart of Lehman?s derivatives operations.
The trader, known on Wall Street for handing out T-shirts emblazoned with ?I?m Short Your House? in 2006 at the height of the bubble, was keen to strike a deal.
?I do think this is a value for Lehman?s creditors (and for me) that could suddenly evaporate,? said Mr. Lippmann in a Sept. 29, 2008, email to a Lehman executive, two weeks after Lehman?s holding company filed for Chapter 11.
Lippmann, who left Deutsche Bank in 2010 when he co-founded the hedge fund LibreMax, wasn?t the only one interested in Lehman. In a Sept. 18 email exchange between various Lehman executives Morgan Stanley also expressed interest in stepping into Lehman?s positions.
The emails, which were filed as part of lawsuit involving Lehman and Barclays PLC over a failed collateralized debt obligation called Ballyrock, bring into focus how some on Wall Street looked to capitalize from Lehman?s collapse as the bankruptcy filing and the subsequent bailout of American International Group was roiling financial markets. You can read them here and here.
Representatives for Lehman, Deutsche Bank and Lippmann declined to comment. A Morgan Stanley spokesman couldn?t immediately comment.

Judge rejects divorce for transgender pregnant man
PHOENIX (AP) ? An Arizona judge on Friday refused to grant a divorce for a transgender Arizona man who gave birth to three children after beginning to change his sex from female.
Maricopa County Family Court Judge Douglas Gerlach ruled that Arizona's ban on same-sex marriages prevents Thomas Beatie's 9-year union from being recognized as valid.
Thomas Beatie was born a woman and later underwent a double-mastectomy, and began testosterone hormone therapy and psychological treatment to become a man, but he retained female reproductive organs and gave birth to three children.
Gerlach said he had no jurisdiction to approve a divorce because there's insufficient evidence that Beatie was a man when he married Nancy Beatie in Hawaii. He said the Beaties never provided records to fully explain what Thomas Beatie actually had done and not done to become a man.
"The decision here is not based on the conclusion that this case involves a same-sex marriage merely because one of the parties is a transsexual male, but instead, the decision is compelled by the fact that the parties failed to prove that (Thomas Beatie) was a transsexual male when they were issued their marriage license," he wrote in Friday's ruling.
A spokesman for Beatie, Ryan Gordon, said the judge's comments came as a shock and that Beatie plans to appeal the ruling. He said Beatie legally was married as a man and never was required to disclose that he retained female reproductive organs when applying for and being granted a new birth certificate in Hawaii as a man. He said Beatie halted testosterone treatments so that he could give birth to his children.
"It's unfortunate that the judge out here doesn't recognize marriage in another state," Gordon said.
Beatie is eager to end his marriage, but the couple's divorce plans stalled last summer when Gerlach said he was unable to find legal authority defining a man as someone who can give birth.
Gerlach's ruling didn't address whether Arizona law allows a person who was born female to marry another female after undergoing a sex change operation.
A separate ruling issued Friday by Gerlach sets guidelines on how the Beaties will co-parent their three children and grants them joint authority in making legal decisions. Thomas Beatie is required to pay nearly $240 a month to Nancy Beatie for child support, but she won't get alimony because the marriage was declared invalid.
Nancy Beatie's attorney, David Higgins, praised Gerlach for the thoroughness of the decision on the marriage, although it wasn't the one she had hoped for.
"He still sees a same-sex marriage, but he gave us all the rulings that we're asking for as far as the children," Higgins said.
The National Center for Lesbian Rights, which isn't involved in the Beatie divorce case, has said courts have declared marriages involving a transgender person invalid in a handful of cases across the country, but that those cases had different factual and legal issues than those in the Beatie case.
Thomas Beatie, known as "The Pregnant Man," was born Tracy Lehuanani Lagondino in Oahu, Hawaii. He began testosterone treatments in 1997 and underwent double mastectomy and chest reconstruction surgery in 2002. He changed his Hawaii driver's license to say he was a man and had a Hawaiian court approve his name change to Thomas.
Gerlach's ruling noted that Thomas Beatie halted the testosterone treatments and that he didn't provide documentation for any additional non-surgical efforts.
Thomas Beatie married his partner Nancy in early 2003 in Honolulu and became pregnant because Nancy was unable to have children. Thomas Beatie conceived with donated sperm and gave birth to children who are now 4, 3 and 2 years old. The couple eventually moved to Arizona.
Beatie has garnered a range of media attention, making the rounds on talk shows such as Larry King and Oprah Winfrey and winning a spot on Barbara Walters' list of "10 Most Fascinating People" in 2008, alongside President Barack Obama, conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh and swimmer Michael Phelps. He also published a book, "Labor Of Love: The Story of One Man's Extraordinary Pregnancy," the cover displaying an image of a shirtless Thomas sporting facial hair and holding a hand over his bare pregnant belly.
