A new study shows that college students with overcontroling parents are more likely to be depressed and less satisfied with their lives. This so-called helicopter parenting style negatively affects students' well-being by violating their need to feel both autonomous and competent. Parental overinvolvement may lead to negative outcomes in children, including higher levels of depression and anxiety. Studies also suggest that children of overinvolved or overcontroling parents may feel less competent and less able to manage life and its stressors. In contrast, evidence suggests that some parental involvement in children's lives facilitates healthy development, both emotionally and socially.Tue, 12 Feb 2013 11:18:18 ESThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130212111803.htm

Unprotected Equipment Can Fall Prey to Brownouts, Over-Voltage and Line Noise

There?s clearly nothing inconspicuous about a blackout: lights are killed, equipment grinds to a halt, and a variety of alarms sound. But other power problems ? such as brownouts, over-voltages and line noise ? may go unnoticed, giving the sometimes-silent power delinquents the potential to cause significant equipment damage or premature failure.

?

A brownout, also referred to as an under-voltage condition, occurs when line voltage is reduced for a period ranging from a few minutes to a few days. The anomaly is characterized by a decrease in voltage below 90% of its nominal value, and can result from an intentional utility voltage reduction to conserve power during peak demand periods or other heavy loads that exceed supply capacity. It?s possible for a brownout to go unnoticed until new equipment is installed or the existing electrical system is otherwise changed, with the new combined load depressing the voltage to a point where symptoms become apparent. Besides the obvious malfunction of equipment, chronic brownouts can cause excess wear on devices such as motors, since low voltage causes them to run hot. ?

?

Have your electronics ever run hotter than normal and failed prematurely? Or perhaps you?ve encountered unexplained system malfunctions? Maybe your devices simply shut down? All of these consequences are symptoms of a power disease known as an over-voltage. Characterized by increased line voltage for periods ranging from a few minutes to a few days, an over-voltage is usually triggered by a rapid reduction in power loads, heavy equipment being turned off, or by utility switching. Not surprisingly, these conditions often result in costly hardware damage.

?

Line noise is another invisible predator ? yet one that can wreak havoc on sensitive electronic equipment. This often mysterious anomaly originates from power line disturbances, externally conducted noise, transmitted noise, or ground loops. Defined as a high frequency waveform caused by EMI interference, line noise is generated by interference generally emitted from transmitters, welding devices, SCR driven printers and lightning, among other sources.? Sparking or arcing across power-line related hardware causes virtually all power-line noise that originates from utility equipment. Noise-related difficulties can range in severity from minor positioning errors to damaged equipment.

?

To avoid the potentially devastating consequences of brownouts, over-voltages and line noise, make sure your critical equipment is safeguarded by an online uninterruptible power system (UPS).? The double-conversion technology converts incoming AC power into filtered DC power, and then resynthesizes it back into AC power with a pure sine wave. Because the technology completely isolates sensitive equipment from all nine common power problems, the online UPS delivers the highest level of protection available.

PFT: Progress in talks between Welker, Patriots

AP

The Chiefs did a lot of business in the hours before the franchise tag deadline, signing wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and punter Dustin Colquitt to long-term deals, and tagging left tackle Branden Albert.

Now they have something even more valuable than good players ? they have options.

While many will immediately assume this takes them out of the market for a left tackle (specifically Luke Joeckel) with the first pick in a quarterback-less draft, that doesn?t seem wise.

First, they should create the full impression that it?s still a possibility, if only to create a trade market that might not otherwise exist.

But the realities of their line wouldn?t preclude drafting him anyway.

Even though they just tagged Albert (keeping him there for a year, at $9.828 million), there?s no reason they can?t draft Joeckel, and have one of them play right tackle. While Eric Winson has been solid, he?s also entering his 30-year-old season, and isn?t so good that you?d bypass a potential left tackle because of him.

And Albert?s back injury, which coach Andy Reid referred to as a ?fairly significant injury? at the Combine, might also give them pause. At the very least, the uncertainty over Albert?s long-term health or contract status would make it wise to keep Joeckel as an option. Many also thought Albert was better suited to play guard when he entered the league, which creates another layer of possibility.

With the chance at a solid offensive line in front of an average quarterback (the recently acquired Alex Smith), along with a good run game, a solid receiving threat in Bowe and a coaching staff that knows how to move the ball, it gives the Chiefs the chance at a new look on offense.

And it gives them more options for the first pick, which makes it more valuable by definition.

Iraq shuts border post after Syrian rebels seize frontier

MOSUL (Reuters) - Iraq shut a border crossing with Syria on Sunday after rebels battling to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad seized the other side of the frontier post from his army, Iraqi military sources said.

The Iraqi army fired warning shots into the air late on Friday as Syrian insurgents fought government forces in the Syrian town of Yaarabiya and eventually seized the border post.

The fighting so close to Iraq illustrates how Syria's near-two-year conflict could spill over its borders, dragging in neighboring countries and further destabilizing the region.

"Iraqi authorities were ordered to shut off Rabia border crossing until further notice because of the Syrian government's lack of control over the other side of the post," police said.

Syria's insurgents are predominantly Sunni Muslim and are supported by mainly Sunni regional powers such as Turkey and Gulf Arab countries, while Assad belongs to the minority Alawite sect and is backed by Shi'ite Iran.

The conflict has put pressure on the already precarious sectarian and ethnic balance in Iraq. Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, a Shi'ite Muslim, says his government has a policy of non-interference in Syria, even though his interests are aligned with those of Iran.

Military sources said blast walls now blocked off the border crossing and employees had been evacuated, though both sides of the crossing were calm and there was no sign of Syrian troops or the rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) forces across the border.

More than 20 Syrian soldiers who fled the fighting into Iraq have been handed over to military intelligence and sent to Baghdad, a military official said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? A judge refused Friday to delay Lindsay Lohan's trial on reckless driving and other charges and admonished her attorney, saying the lawyer needs help on the case.

Superior Court Judge James R. Dabney advised New York lawyer Mark Heller that his pleadings weren't appropriate under California law.

Heller was told to get assistance from another attorney or Lohan would be required to attend hearings to gauge his ability to represent her.

The actress wasn't obligated to attend Friday's hearing. Heller said after the hearing that while his motions didn't conform to California law, he was simply trying to protect Lohan's rights and would continue to do so.

Dabney also said there was no good reason to delay the March 18 trial, noting that he was skeptical that more time would allow Lohan to demonstrate she had changed after years of run-ins with the law.

"I don't know how the next two weeks is suddenly going to change the history of this case, these cases," Dabney said.

Lohan has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges of reckless driving, lying to police and obstructing officers after her sports car crashed in June as she and a passenger headed to a movie shoot.

Lohan was on probation in a theft case at the time.

Heller had sought a delay as he works with prosecutors to reach a plea deal that could allow Lohan to pursue inspirational speaking or other community service.

The attorney rejected the notion that the actress needs rehab, noting that she has been sentenced to treatment several times before and she still ends up in trouble. "This is not what she needs ? rehab," Heller said.

He said Lohan is engaged on one-on-one psychotherapy.

"Lindsay doesn't have a problem with alcohol and drugs," he said. "Lindsay's issues are different," he said, declining to elaborate further.

Lohan could face a return to jail if she is convicted, or if a judge determines she violated the terms of her sentence in the 2011 necklace theft case.
