Staging Diva Shares 5 Top Tips To Get Your House Ready To Sell ...
GUEST POST BY DEBRA GOULD, THE STAGING DIVA?
Home stagers can make a number of small changes to a property that can dramatically shorten the time it spends on the real estate market while also increasing the final sales price. Home staging expert Debra Gould, also known as The Staging Diva, shares 5 top tips for getting a house ready to sell:
1. Make sure that showing appointment isn?t just a drive-by
Just because there?s a showing booked on your home doesn?t mean the potential buyer will actually go inside. Imagine you?re a home buyer and your real estate agent has 10 houses to show you today. When you drive up to what could be your dream home, you see a broken railing and children?s toys strewn across a weed-filled lawn. You don?t have any time to waste, so you?re probably going to say, ?Let?s move on,? skipping the showing appointment entirely.
Curb appeal not only attracts potential buyers who happen to be driving by, it also helps draw prospective buyers into your home once they already have a showing appointment booked with their agent. When a property looks unkempt, it scares off potential buyers (unless they?re looking for a tear-down at a rock bottom price). To enhance curb appeal:
??? ?Cut the lawn and ensure fallen leaves and weeds are removed. Keep walkways and driveways freshly swept.
??? ?Add planted urns or hanging plants to the entrance area.
??? ?Repair or replace any obvious defects to the front door/hardware, mailboxes, railings, address sign or lights.
??? ?Move garbage and recycling containers from the front of the house or tuck them neatly in a garage or shed.
??? ?Pressure wash the exterior and decks. If necessary touch-up up paint.
2. Stash your keepsakes and keep your home clutter-free
De-cluttering is essential, especially when you remember that many people move because they feel too crowded in their current homes. Your treasured collection of decorative plates, figurines or stuffed animals will look like clutter to most potential buyers. ?Tackle one area at a time so de-cluttering isn?t so overwhelming.
You?ll probably have to go through each closet more than once to get its contents down to the absolute essentials, but it?s worth the effort. Try setting a timer for 60 minutes and it will no longer seem like an endless task. Consider that any time you spend now on this task will make packing and moving that much easier.
Rent a storage locker so you can keep your beloved items while you?re selling the house, and then have them delivered to your new address after your move.
3. Avoid scaring buyers away with a To Do list
You don?t want potential buyers focusing on one flaw after another during a showing.?No one wants a list of projects or problems to deal with when they?re buying a home.?You want them to fall in love with your home and imagine themselves living there not thinking about how much less they should offer you because of everything they?ll have to do.
Try to be very objective and do a walk through to spot problems. You might want to ask a highly critical friend or relative to do this for you because when you live somewhere too long you become blind to the problems.
Look for chipped paint on the door frames or scuffs on walls that need touch ups. Glue down any peeling wallpaper. Ensure all electrical outlets and light switches have un-cracked covers. Repair or replace broken tiles, dripping taps and moldy caulking. These little things make a big difference in the buyer?s mind!
4. Color is your friend when it?s time to sell a house
White walls often look cold and sterile, unless you warm the room up with accent colors and patterns as shown in this living room. If you have to repaint a home?s interior or some rooms in a home, choose a pleasing color palette that allows each room to flow nicely into the next. All colors should go together.
Try to repeat one signature color throughout a home. A feature color in one room can be repeated as an accent in the others, through vases, artwork, throws or decorative pillows.
Bring life to a neutral decor with cut flowers or a potted orchid for example.
5. Make a big impact with a little art
By strategically using art, you can enhance a home?s perceived value, draw the eye away from tiny flaws, give an otherwise uninteresting space a focal point and replace personal memorabilia.
Don?t just hang something on the wall where an old picture hook happens to be. Position art so that the center is 60? up from the floor. Make sure the size of the piece is appropriate to the size of the wall. Art with a large frame on a small wall can make the entire area seem smaller. Avoid religious art or anything edgy that might offend potential buyers.
These are just a few of the many things that can be done to improve your home?s appearance and to make it more appealing to home buyers. While the steps can be time consuming, the results are worth it.
A professional home stager makes the job much easier and can give you the specific steps you should take on your own. Stagers bring total objectivity and a creative eye to the process of decorating your house to sell. This increases your chance of selling your property faster and for more money.

Tebow lives Entourage life at pre-Oscars party
As you may or may not know, last week Tim Tebow signed with Hollywood super-agent Ari Emanuel, who was the inspiration for the Ari Gold character in the HBO series Entourage. So when Tebow showed up to a pre-Oscars party at Emanuel?s Brentwood mansion on Friday, it was like a scene out of the series ? only with a few more Hollywood stars. Make no mistake ? Linsanity may be the flavor of the month ? but we are still firmly gripped by Tebowmania.
While stars Robert Pattinson, Jack Black, Jonah Hill, Michael Douglas, Octavia Spencer, Rooney Mara and Ben Stiller mingled with moguls, including Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Les Moonves, Philippe Dauman, Jeff Bezos and Chris Albrecht, many of the A-list names at the event were most excited to meet Tebow.
?Glee? beauty Dianna Agron, Serena Williams, Taylor Lautner, Dwayne ?The Rock? Johnson, LL Cool J and Taylor Swift were all seen chatting up Tebow. And Larry David was caught wryly grinning as he witnessed a steady stream of wide-eyed women approach the handsome QB.
So finally, the Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Tim Tebow meeting we have all been waiting for. Are you on Team Jacob, Team Edward or Team Timothy?
Emanuel?s William Morris Endevour will handle Tebow?s personal endorsements and charity dealings, while rival CAA represents his on-field business, according the the New York Post.
Oh, and then there was Robert Downey Jr. Tebowing. Better late than never.

Light-emitting nanocrystal diodes go ultraviolet
Monday, February 27, 2012
A multinational team of scientists has developed a process for creating glass-based, inorganic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that produce light in the ultraviolet range. The work, reported this week in the online Nature Communications, is a step toward biomedical devices with active components made from nanostructured systems.
LEDs based on solution-processed inorganic nanocrystals have promise for use in environmental and biomedical diagnostics, because they are cheap to produce, robust, and chemically stable. But development has been hampered by the difficulty of achieving ultraviolet emission. In their paper, Los Alamos National Laboratory's Sergio Brovelli in collaboration with the research team lead by Alberto Paleari at the University of Milano-Bicocca in Italy describe a fabrication process that overcomes this problem and opens the way for integration in a variety of applications.
The world needs light-emitting devices that can be applied in biomedical diagnostics and medicine, Brovelli said, either as active lab-on-chip diagnostic platforms or as light sources that can be implanted into the body to trigger some photochemical reactions. Such devices could, for example, selectively activate light-sensitive drugs for better medical treatment or probe for the presence of fluorescent markers in medical diagnostics. These materials would need to be fabricated cheaply, on a large scale, and integrated into existing technology.
The paper describes a new glass-based material, able to emit light in the ultraviolet spectrum, and be integrated onto silicon chips that are the principal components of current electronic technologies.
The new devices are inorganic and combine the chemical inertness and mechanical stability of glass with the property of electric conductivity and electroluminescence (i.e. the ability of a material to emit light in response to the passage of an electric current).
As a result, they can be used in harsh environments, such as for immersion into physiologic solutions, or by implantation directly into the body. This was made possible by designing a new synthesis strategy that allows fabrication of all inorganic LEDs via a wet-chemistry approach, i.e. a series of simple chemical reactions in a beaker. Importantly, this approach is scalable to industrial quantities with a very low start-up cost. Finally, they emit in the ultraviolet region thanks to careful design of the nanocrystals embedded in the glass.
In traditional light-emitting diodes, light emission occurs at the sharp interface between two semiconductors. The oxide-in-oxide design used here is different, as it allows production of a material that behaves as an ensemble of semiconductor junctions distributed in the glass.
This new concept is based on a collection of the most advanced strategies in nanocrystal science, combining the advantages of nanometric materials consisting of more than one component. In this case the active part of the device consists of tin dioxide nanocrystals covered with a shell of tin monoxide embedded in standard glass: by tuning the shell thickness is it possible to control the electrical response of the whole material.

How U.S. Soldiers Are Fueling the Endangered Species Trade (Time.com)
Dennis Flaherty
Endangered snow leopards are found throughout Central Asia, and they've become a popular item for the illegal wildlife trade.
You?re a U.S. soldier, abroad on your first deployment in Afghanistan. Like any world traveler, you want to bring a souvenir back home to the family, something they could never get at home. So you visit the local market on base, where Afghan vendors sell carpets, trinkets and clothing. And you pick out something really cool: a white spotted pelt, perfect for a rug. What could possibly be wrong with that purchase?
As it turns out, quite a lot?at least for endangered species. According to a study from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS)?an environmental non-profit that runs the Bronx Zoo in New York?a significant number of U.S. soldiers deployed?overseas have purchased products made from wildlife. And in many cases, that wildlife is threatened?like the endangered snow leopard of Central Asia, which could have been killed to make that fine white pelt. Most soldiers aren?t knowingly purchasing products made from endangered species, but they are inadvertently supporting that trade, which can have serious consequences for conservation. ?The wildlife trade is highly problematic,? says Heidi Kretser, the coordinator of the WCS North America Programs Livelihood. ?There needs to be awareness raising in the military.?
(PHOTOS:?10 Species Near Extinction)
The WCS research began back in 2007 when staff in Afghanistan noticed products?made from threatened species being sold on military bases near Kabul. That led to a survey of nearly 400 soldiers at Fort Drum in upstate New York, one of the biggest military bases in the U.S., sending some 80,000 troops a year to Iraq and Afghanistan during the height of the conflicts. WCS found that more than 40% of the soldiers surveyed had either purchased wildlife products or had seen a fellow service member buy one. They reported seeing wildlife items for sale one or off bases in 40 countries, with the greatest number by far in Afghanistan?a fact that makes sense, given that the Central Asian country is home to a number of endangered species, including the snow leopard. (The sheer number of U.S. troops stationed in Afghanistan played a role in the numbers as well.) ?The most popular items were fur coat and rugs,? says Kretser. ?And there you?re talking about species that do tend to be threatened.?
The problem isn?t just that U.S. service members are buying wildlife products?it?s that their presence in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq helps create a market for poaching and hunting that might otherwise not exist. American soldiers?and even more so, the contractors and other international personnel who follow in their wake?can bring developed world purchasing power to bear in a developing world. Suddenly an Afghan who ?might have no one to sell that snow leopard pelt to?and therefore, no reason to participate in the trade in the first place?suddenly has a ready market with well-off customers. ?You can sell a snow leopard pelt for $1000,? says Kretser. ?That?s far more than the average Afghan person could make in a year.?
(MORE: Virus Hunter)
You can?t blame a poor person for trying to earn that kind of money?which is why it falls to the customers more than anyone else to halt the wildlife trade. There are international and military regulations that prohibit the purchase and transport of products made from endangered wildlife, That?s why Krester and the WCS have been working with the Department of Defense?s Legacy Program on educational courses for personnel who are about to be deployed overseas. The programs underscores the illegality of purchasing endangered wildlife products, as well as the potential health threats that can come with them. (Wildlife?especially primates?are a major source of zoonotic disease, and the international trade can spread those diseases around the world.) The hope is that by educating service members early, they?ll be that much less likely to pick up a wildlife souvenir to take home with them.

Why You Should Shout It From The Rooftops - Carnival of Personal ...
Chatting with a friend the other day, I learned that he was on a quest to lose weight and had been for some time. He?d been slowly modifying his lifestyle, diet and exercise, and was making some progress but was a little frustrated by what seemed like a bit of plateau in previously steady progress.
I complimented him on his weight loss to date, and asked after the details of his diet. ?It?s not a diet, he?d said, it?s a project.? Spoken like a true techie.
He?s managing it through modifying his food intake against his calorie burn, and exercising more regularly.
Most importantly, he said, he?s telling people about it. It keeps him accountable. In fact, the key to his success thus far was making sure that people knew about his quest because it meant that he really couldn?t fail. He was trusting in the need to protect his ego and his ever loving friends to keep him in check.
The best piece of advice he?d received, he said, was to plaster your intentions across the front page of the Times, and shine the spotlight on your goals. With that many eyes on your waistline, or anything else you chose to make public, you really couldn?t afford the embarrassment of failure.
As blogging?s explosion across the internet has demonstrated in the last several years, people naturally gravitate to sharing and discussing their lives, hopes and aspirations in more public spaces, albeit, not necessarily with the intent of holding themselves up for ridicule. Many people are simply looking for validation or feedback, or keeping a public journal, in some way.
Whatever the motivation, this propensity to make once-private aspirations more public has given rise to companies like SmartyPig where users can also choose to share their savings goals with their family and friends, both incentivizing the savings behavior and the social aspect.
Research indicates that there are benefits to actually committing goals to paper, as it were, that the act of writing it down is a form of reinforcing the desire to achieve.
The additional public sharing of those goals gives you access to a supportive community around something that only you cared about before.
There?s a lot of truth in this and readers will see that in the personal finance blogging community. That?s why there is so much emphasis on the setting of concrete goals, S.M.A.R.T. goals. Socially and intellectually, blogging about money gives bloggers and non-blogging readers a forum to discuss the world of finance, learn about money, and talk about how other people are finding ways to solve similar problems. Built into that support network is knowledge sharing ? both things that would help in the achievement of those goals.
Even though the same topics typically revolve around the ?sphere, the voices of experience range across life stages and resonate uniquely across writers and readers to present a vibrant patchwork of resources.
And there are certainly ways to set goals in equally supportive communities offline as well, through mentorships, professional associations, friends of a similar mindset. Like my friend, relying on the good old fashioned peer pressure, redirected to work for him.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama says there is no easy answer to the problem of rising energy prices and he's dismissing Republican solutions as little more than gimmicks.
"We know there's no silver bullet that will bring down gas prices or reduce our dependence on foreign oil overnight," Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address. "But what we can do is get our priorities straight and make a sustained, serious effort to tackle this problem."
Oil prices are approaching last year's highs as tensions increase over Iran's nuclear program. The rise pushed gasoline prices Friday to a national average of $3.65 a gallon, the highest ever for this time of year. A spike in gas prices is normal in spring, but it came earlier than usual this year in large part because of world fears that the growing confrontation with Iran will crimp oil supplies. Iran is the world's third-largest crude supplier.
Rising oil prices weigh on the economy, pushing leisure and business travel costs higher. Every 1-cent increase in the price of gasoline costs the economy $1.4 billon, analysts say.
Obama said Republicans have one answer to the oil pinch: drill.
"You know that's not a plan, especially since we're already drilling," Obama said, echoing his remarks earlier in the week. "It's a bumper sticker."
Obama is pushing what he calls an "all-of-the-above" approach to the problem of limited energy resources, meaning an attempt to seek out alternative energy sources while reducing consumption of traditional fuels.
In the Republican address, Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison blamed the rise in gasoline prices partly on the Obama administration, which she said has blocked some potential new sources of oil and gas.
"We can't slow down global demand for oil and gas, but we can do a lot more here at home to assure that we have the energy we need and to halt skyrocketing costs," she said. "President Obama's policy has resulted in an unprecedented slowdown in new exploration and production of oil and gas."
For all the political claims, economists say there's not much a president of either party can do about gasoline prices. Certainly not in the short term. But it's clear that people are concerned ? a new Associated Press-GfK poll says 7 in 10 Americans find the issue deeply important ? so it's sure to be a political issue through the summer.
The price of gasoline, which is made from crude oil, has soared with oil prices. The national average jumped by nearly 12 cents per gallon in a week, with state averages above $4 per gallon in California, Alaska and Hawaii.
At $3.65 per gallon, gasoline is still below last year's high of $3.98 and the record $4.11 set in 2008.

The Turkish Healthcare System
Question: A Turkish friend of mine asked me for money because his baby was born in the hospital, and he didn?t have any money. I thought Turkey had a national healthcare system. Could you explain the Turkish healthcare system?
Answer: The healthcare system goes along with the retirement system in Turkey. There are three healthcare-retirement systems in Turkey. All three systems are similar in that they are a part of the Social Insurance Institution (SSK), and each group pays a percentage of their monthly income, usually matched by their employers to the system in return for free doctor visits and low-cost medicine
The three divisions are for workers hired by the state, companies and factories; workers hired by the government; and people who are self-employed like businessmen, shop-owners, farmers, and others.
People who do not fall into any of these three categories above, like a gardener or maid, could go to the state-run hospitals for treatment, but they pay for some of the additional expenses at the hospital.
Although there are three systems, there are not enough doctors and beds in the insurance and state hospitals.
There are always long lines to see a doctor or get medicine from the hospital pharmacy. In order to receive better medical treatment, nearly everyone prefers to go to private doctors and private hospitals, which cost more.
Regardless of those three categories and who the patient is, some diseases like tuberculosis, AIDS, malaria and other contageous diseases are subject to be reported and treated free of charge by the state hospital.

China open to U.S. religious envoy visit: White House (Reuters)
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) ? Chinese officials have told the White House they are working on dates for a U.S. envoy for religious freedoms to visit China, White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Wednesday.
The Washington Post reported that Suzan Johnson Cook, the U.S. ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom, was denied a visa to visit China earlier this month.
Carney told reporters in Los Angeles, where President Barack Obama is attending fundraiser events, that the White House raised the issue during a visit by China's leader-in-waiting, Xi Jinping, to the United States and stressed the importance of ensuring that Cook's intended trip takes place.
"The Chinese noted that Ambassador Cook's predecessors, as well as the Assistant Secretary for Human Rights, have visited China on numerous occasions for discussion on religious freedom and related issues, and they are working on dates for Ambassador Cook's future visit," Carney said.

Nigerian underwear bomber to be sentenced in Detroit (Reuters)
DETROIT (Reuters) ? A federal judge is set to decide on Thursday if the Nigerian man who pleaded guilty to trying to blow up a U.S. airliner bound for Detroit in 2009 will spend the rest of his life in prison.
A bomb hidden in the underwear of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, now 25, caused a fire but failed to explode on a Delta Airlines flight carrying 289 people on December 25, 2009.
U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds will decide whether Abdulmutallab should be sentenced to life in prison as called for under existing sentencing guidelines.
Abdulmutallab's lawyer, Anthony Chambers, earlier this week asked for a lighter sentence, saying the mandatory life sentence was too harsh for an attempted bombing that killed no one.
"Given the circumstances and what did NOT occur in the instant matter it is fair to say that the mandatory minimum sentence of life imprisonment is excessive and grossly disproportionate to the conduct," Chambers said in a court filing, emphasizing the word "not."
While not making a specific request, he asked on Abdulmutallab's behalf that the judge impose a sentence below the advisory guideline range because a life sentence would be a "misinterpretation of justice."
Prosecutors have urged the judge to give Abdulmutallab the maximum sentence - consecutive terms of life in prison.
In October, Abdulmutallab pleaded guilty days after his trial began, saying he had wanted to avenge the killing of innocent Muslims by the United States.
Court officials said that Abdulmutallab's parents and one of his sisters will be in the Detroit courtroom on Thursday. Six victims are scheduled to speak before Edmunds declares sentencing.
Abdulmutallab, who has been held at a federal prison in Milan, Michigan since 2009, will also be given a chance to address the court before sentencing.
Prosecutors also last week offered new details about how Abdulmutallab's plot was directed by U.S.-born Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who had become an al Qaeda leader in Yemen.
Awlaki was killed in a drone attack in Yemen last September. In court papers, the FBI identified Awlaki as "chief of external operations" for al Qaeda's Yemen branch as well as an Internet-savvy propagandist and recruiter.
When the bomb caused a fire but failed to explode, Abdulmutallab was quickly subdued by passengers and crew. The incident led U.S. officials to bolster airport security, deploying full-body scanners to try to detect hidden explosives.
The judge is also due to rule on Thursday whether the prosecution can show a video that the FBI created to simulate the bomb Abdulmutallab tried to detonate.

More Chinese cities seize iPads over trademark (AP)
BEIJING ? Authorities have seized iPads from more Chinese retailers in an escalating trademark dispute between Apple Inc. and a struggling local company that could disrupt global sales of the popular tablet computer.
Shenzhen Proview Technology claims it owns the iPad name in China, and a court ruled in its favor last year. This week, the Chinese company said it will ask customs officials to stop imports and exports of iPads, which are made in China.
A website run by newspaper China Business News said Thursday iPads were seized in the central city of Zhengzhou and the eastern port of Qingdao. Seizures were reported earlier in Shijiazhuang and Xuzhou.
Proview said it has asked regulators in more than 40 cities to investigate possible trademark violations.
Chinese media say Proview is deeply in debt, and observers have suggested the company needs a large settlement to repay creditors.
"We've appealed to Apple through its agents to have a settlement, but so far we haven't received any response from them," said a Proview lawyer, Xie Xianghui. He declined to say how much Proview wants.
An employee of the press office of Zhengzhou's Administration of Industry and Commerce confirmed some iPads were seized there.
"One of our local offices seized iPads from a shop and sealed them off based on the Chinese Trademark Law, although we did not carry out a city-wide seizure," said the employee, who would give only his surname, Jiang.
A spokesman for Qingdao's Administration of Industry and Commerce said he knew of no order to seize iPads but said the agency was monitoring the legal process.
"We're investigating iPad sales in the city and will move quickly once there is a final legal judgment," said the spokesman, who would give only his surname, He.
A spokesman for Weihai's commerce agency said he knew of no citywide seizures but said local offices might be investigating sales or collecting evidence. He refused to give his name.
Shenzhen Proview Technology is a subsidiary of LCD screen maker Proview International Holdings Ltd., headquartered in Hong Kong.
Proview registered the iPad trademark in China in 2001. Apple bought rights to the name from a Taiwanese affiliate, but the mainland company says it still owns the name in China. A Chinese court rejected Apple's claim to the name in China last year. Apple has appealed.
Apple, based in Cupertino, California, insists it owns the iPad name and has accused Proview of failing to honor its agreement.
Apple has cited a Hong Kong court ruling last year that concluded Proview and the Taiwan company both were controlled by the same Taiwanese businessman, Yang Long-san.
The judge said the companies acted together "with the common intention of injuring Apple" and granted a temporary order barring Proview from transferring rights to the iPad name in China.
Proview also has filed suit against Apple in Shanghai and the cities of Shenzhen and Huizhou, according to Xie.

UN Security Council visits Haiti to review mandate (AP)
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti ? The U.N. Security Council began a four-day mission in Haiti on Monday to review the terms of its mandate and evaluate earthquake reconstruction efforts in the Caribbean country.
The 15-member delegation led by U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice plans to meet with senior Haitian officials, tour the future site of a job-generating industrial park and visit a police academy in the capital.
"We will see how the United Nations supports Haitian government institutions in security and governance," Rice said as she read from a prepared statement. "We will examine economic development efforts and we will look at the ongoing humanitarian challenges."
In its first mission since 2009, the delegation also aims to evaluate reconstruction efforts following the massive earthquake in 2010 that displaced more than a million people. It plans to see how it can help strengthen the national police force, which has only 8,000 officers in a country of 10 million.
The delegation will venture outside its area of expertise in security and visit a treatment center for patients who have fallen ill to cholera. Now an epidemic, the disease has been a source of tension between Haitians and peacekeepers after several studies showed that a unit from Nepal, where the disease is endemic, likely brought the disease.
Haiti now has the world's highest cholera rate and the disease has killed more than 7,000 people and sickened more than 526,000 others, Haitian officials say.
The Haitian firm Bureau of International Lawyers and its Boston-based partner, Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti, issued a statement Monday urging the Security Council to evaluate the cost of the U.N.'s failure to take responsibility for the epidemic. The groups filed a complaint last year againt the world body that seeks reparations on behalf of the cholera victims.
The case is under review by the U.N.'s legal department.
Tensions have been further strained because of several abuse allegations involving peacekeepers, which are under investigation.
The U.N. set up the peacekeeping force in Haiti known by its French acronym Minustah in 2004 to provide stability following the overthrow of then-President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
Haitian President Michel Martelly hopes to replace the U.N. peacekeeping mission of 11,000 troops by restoring the national army, which was disbanded in 1995 because of its involvement in coups and history of abuse, and turning it into a "professional" force.
The Security Council would need to revise its mandate if the Haitian government took concrete steps to restore the army. The existing agreement, which focuses on developing Haiti's police force, has no provision to allow peacekeepers to work with a Haitian military.
The plan to restore the army has met opposition from the United States, Canada and other nations that believe the government should devote its limited resources toward the police department or toward reconstruction.
The Security Council's arrival this week coincides with that of two other delegations.
The Caribbean Community landed in Port-au-Prince Monday for a two-day mission that will look at ways to help Haiti recover from the earthquake and try to engage the country more in the regional bloc.
Legal experts from the U.S. State Department are expected to arrive Wednesday to help strengthen the country's beleaguered judiciary. They also want to support the justice system as it weighs evidence to prosecute former strongman Jean-Claude Duvalier on corruption charges instead of the human rights abuses synonymous with his 15-year rule.

Intel settles antitrust lawsuit with New York attorney general, pays hardly anything
According to Reuters, the $6.5 million sum represents just five hours worth of profit for the company, which reported a net income of nearly $13 billion last year. Intel was pleased with the news, pointing out that the agreement doesn't require it to admit any wrongdoing. Schneiderman, on the other hand, seemed notably less enthusiastic, with office spokeswoman Jennifer Givner telling reporters that the state's lawyers still think they have a case against Intel, but "in light of the court's decision believe that no purpose is served by pursuing the matter further."

State of Affairs ? My Sexual Choices Now Are Making a Difference ...
Today, the Love and Fidelity Network is pleased to introduce an intercollegiate advertising campaign with the prominent tagline ?My sexual choices now are making a difference.? This campaign?presented by 19 colleges and universities (including five Ivy Leagues) through 9,000 posters?sends the message that college students? current sexual choices can increase their confidence in achieving other desirable life goals (higher income and better physical and mental health, in addition to greater marital sexual quality, relationship satisfaction and stability). Specifically, that is, when their sexual choices counter the hook-up culture and the predominant mentality of testing sexual compatibility.
The five ads in the campaign advancing this message, along with the research supporting them, can be viewed here. This blog will also feature an ad per day on February 10-14.
(LFN-supported events are also occurring on 10 campuses throughout the country during National Marriage Week, February 7-14. See a list of these events here).
We would especially like to thank Love and Fidelity Network supporter and former national conference speaker Dr. Jason Carroll for this blog post, presenting theoretical and statistical support for this campaign and providing answers for some of the questions that are often asked in response to such a counter-cultural message.
SOWING YOUR WILD OATS: IS IT HELPING OR HURTING YOUR FUTURE MARRIAGE? by Jason S. Carroll, Ph.D., School of Family Life, Brigham Young University
For years, the phrase ?sowing wild oats? has been used to describe the sexual activity of single adults?particularly young men. However, what exactly does the phrase mean? And more importantly, does having multiple sexual partners help or hurt you when you eventually get married? These are important questions to ask since most young people in the United States today desire to have a successful, lifelong marriage. However, they also report desiring to have multiple sexual partners before they get married. Studies show that most college students would like to have multiple sexual partners each year1 and that college men, on average, desire to have ten sexual partners before getting married; while women, on average, desire to have four sexual partners before they marry.2 Are these desires for ?sowing wild oats? in the single years compatible with the desire to have a loving and lasting marriage later? Let?s take a look at these questions.
Sowing Wild Oats
What does the phrase ?sowing wild oats? actually mean? A careful look at this question reveals that there are some contradictions in how people use this phrase. Traditionally, the phrase is referring to a European grass species with the formal name Avena fatua, which is often called ?wild oats.? Farmers for centuries have hated this plant because it is a useless weed whose seeds are difficult to separate from those of useful cereal crops, so the seeds tend to survive from year to year and ruin the harvest. Thus the phrase sowing wild oats ?was applied figuratively to young men who frittered away their time in stupid or idle pastimes.?3
However, modern uses of the phrase often cast the saying in a positive light. The term is now commonly used to refer to a useful, and perhaps even needed, part of the young adult development where a young man gets out all of his promiscuous and impulsive sexual desires before ?settling down? and getting married. The thought process is that if ?he got all the sex out of his system before he settled down he would be more likely to remain faithful to his wife? later in marriage.4 The same perspective is now applied to young adult women too.
These two uses of the phrase ?sowing wild oats? seem to be based on very different views of healthy sexual development. The current use of the term implies a ?get it out of your system? hypothesis that contends that having multiple sexual partners helps young adults gain greater appreciation of the range of possibilities in a sexual partnership. By experimenting with these possibilities, individuals will discover their personal sexual preferences and be better able to form an eventual marriage with ?sexual chemistry.? This way of thinking views premarital sex like ?test driving a car? and having multiple sexual partners is simply the process of ?shopping around.?
However, the traditional use of the term ?sowing wild oats? implies that sexual promiscuity creates unrecognized problems, like a field full of weeds, that will emerge later in committed marriage relationships. This perspective implies a ?get it into your system? hypothesis that suggests that numerous sexual experiences might produce ?wild attitudes? that separate sex from emotional intimacy in a relationship that might make staying in a committed relationship less likely.
Research Perspectives
Until recently, studies on the effect of ?sowing wild oats? before marriage have been limited. However, several recent studies provided some evidence that having multiple sexual partners before marriage inhibits healthy relationship formation and leads to higher rates of divorce.5 In a just-completed study of nearly 2,700 married individuals, my colleagues and I found that spouses who had multiple sexual partners before marriage had lower levels of sexual quality, communication, and relationship stability in their current marriage, even when controlling for a wide range of variables including education, religiosity and relationship length. These findings were similar for husbands and wives. We found no evidence that increasing the number of sexual partners before marriage benefitted later marital outcomes.6
These research findings also suggest that the negative consequences associated with ?sowing wild oats? may reach beyond just marriage outcomes. Numerous studies have shown that getting married and staying married is linked to several aspects of individual health and well-being, such as better financial status7, improved physical health8, enhanced mental health 9, and higher sexual satisfaction10. Therefore, if sexual experimentation before marriage increases marital instability and the likelihood of divorce, it may also cause people to miss out on these other benefits of marriage as well.
Why Doesn?t Sexual Experience Help?
We need more studies to confirm exactly why having multiple sexual partners before marriage is associated with poorer marriage outcomes. However, there are some likely explanations for why sexual restraint and abstinence increases young people?s chances of forming loving and lasting marriages. A primary reason why sexual restraint benefits couples is that it facilitates intentional partner selection. Simply put, you have a better chance of making good decisions in dating whey you have not become sexually involved with your dating partner. Proper partner selection is often skewed for sexually involved couples who experience strong physical rewards with each other, thereby causing them to ignore or minimize deeper incompatibilities in the relationship.
Sexual restraint also benefits couples because it requires partners to prioritize communication and commitment as the foundation of their attraction to each other. This gives couples a different type of foundation than couples who build their relationship on physical attraction and sexual gratification. This difference becomes particularly critical as couples naturally move past an initial period of intense attraction and excitement into a relationship more characterized by companionship and partnership.
Ultimately, loving marriages are ones where sexual intimacy is a meaningful physical symbol of the emotional intimacy shared between the spouses. Without this, sex is just physical and lacks the meaning needed to be truly satisfying and lasting. In dating, couples should focus on developing a foundation of friendship and communication that will serve as the ongoing foundation for sexual intimacy in their marriage. By practicing sexual restraint, couples allow themselves to focus on a true foundation of intimacy ? acceptance, understanding, partnership, and love.
