Cyberparenting and the Risk of T.M.I.

Cyberparenting and the Risk of T.M.I. It may be a timeless curse of parenthood to know simultaneously too much about one’s teenager and yet never access the information one actually wants. But the unruly morass of today’s social media and cellphone-infested landscape seems to have made both aspects of the curse worse. Nowadays, if you are the parent of a 14-year-old, you can see him guzzle beer, flirt with a girl who squeezes her bosom in every “selfie” she posts on Instagram, and describe a fellow ninth grader in language saltier than any you ever used at that age. Of course, your parents never even heard you swear. They had no idea where you went after you slammed the front door behind you. They couldn’t begin to fathom what you were really up to on a Saturday night.Today, parents are just one click away: buddied up on Facebook, logging on to Tumblr, peering over cryptic text messages and trying to get a glimpse of Snapchat images before they dissolve into the ether.   Parents who

Taking Time to Go Back to the Beginning

Taking Time to Go Back to the Beginning Shortly before Miho Walsh and Roy Prieb were married in early in 2008 they kicked their video game habit, which was composed mainly of World of Warcraft. Actually, it was Mr. Prieb’s die-hard habit. For Ms. Walsh, playing video games with her fiancé was more of an act of love.“I was impressed with Miho, because rather than poo-pooing the whole gaming experience when we were first dating, she dove in,” said Mr. Prieb, now 40, a founder of and partner in Saaspire, a technology consultancy in New York. “She dove in, not by creating her own character; she dove in by sitting next to me and playing with me. We both got into it, co-piloting one character around that world.”Then they stopped, cold turkey.“It was a bright spring day and we looked out the window and said, ‘Let’s quit,’ ” Mr. Prieb recalled.

300 Pakistanis lodged in Indian jails

Around 300 Pakistani prisoners are lodged in Indian jails, of which 260 are fishermen and 40 jailed for criminal activities, including terrorism, Union home ministry sources have told TOI.This is in contrast to nearly 535 Indians imprisoned in Pakistan's jails, of which 483 are fishermen, according to figures provided by the ministry of external affairs on Friday.While the data regarding Pakistani prisoners lodged in jails here is maintained by the home ministry, the corresponding figures for Indian prisoners held abroad is with the external affairs ministry.Meanwhile, the Union home ministry has taken the alleged assault on a Pakistani prisoner, Sanaullah, in Jammu's Kot Bhalwal jail very seriously. It asked for a report from the Jammu and Kashmir government soon after learning of the incident, besides issuing a fresh advisory to the states — the second after the fatal attack on Sarabjit Singh in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail last Saturday — asking them to ensure the safety o

Jharkhand assembly to be dissolved, polls likely in mid-June

Even as the Karnataka poll exercise nears completion, another Congress-BJP faceoff is on the horizon in Jharkhand. The Centre has initiated the exercise for dissolution of Jharkhand assembly, over three months after it went under President's rule, setting the stage for what could be a mid-June poll. A Cabinet note recommending dissolution of the House, followed by fresh elections before July 18, is being finalized by the Union home ministry and may be put for the Cabinet's approval soon, said ministry sources. According to sources in the Election Commission (EC), if the Presidential communication asking the EC to hold fresh polls is received over the next few days, state elections could be held in the second or third week of June. A July poll is not considered feasible as the state would then be in the thick of monsoon. Jharkhand was put under President's rule through an ordinance issued on January 18, and the assembly placed under suspended animation. This ordinance was

Madhya Pradesh judge goes by 'animal instinct'

Chief judicial magistrate in Khandwa district court, GC Dubey decided to rely upon "animal instinct" than the rule book to decide a custody issue. During the proceedings of a theft case lodged in Piplod police station last month, where parties charged each other with stealing a baby goat weighing about 16 kilograms, Dubey summoned two female goats to the court and delivered instant justice on Thursday by observing which one shared a better comfort-level with the little one.

Same-sex provision should not derail US immigration move: US President Obama

Same-sex provision should not derail US immigration move: US President ObamaObama has used the prospect of new immigration laws as a major selling point for stronger US relations with Latin America on a three-day tour of Mexico and Costa Rica that ends on Saturday. But a proposal by Democratic US Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont has cast uncertainty into the delicate process of reaching a compromise on immigration. Leahy plans to propose next week an amendment to the legislation that would let gay Americans sponsor their foreign-born partners for green cards, which confer permanent residency. If it were to be included in the final bill, opposition from social conservatives could doom to failure the biggest effort in decades to improve the US immigration system. Obama said he would support Leahy's move, but that the broader effort to reform US immigration must be kept in mind. "I can tell you I think that this provision is the right thing to do. I can also tell you I'm no

A rival channel is set to cast her in their new show. According to sources, Pratyusha and Vatsal Seth will be the lead pair.

I'm comfortable with sexy image of mine: Sophie Choudhry

You enjoyed doing this item number in Shootout At Wadala, isn't it? I won't call Aala Re an item number. It is the anthem of the movie — and when a filmmaker like Sanjay Gupta calls you for a dance number as grand as this, that too with John Abraham — you'd have to be a fool to reject it. But you have been missing from action for sometime now. Why is that? I have been performing across the globe and making good money doing that, which is the whole purpose after all. And since the money part is taken care of, I don't want to compromise on my passion, that is acting, by taking up ordinary roles. I was offered the song Tinku Jiya, I was also offered a role in Delhi Belly. But, I want to do better work. I'm waiting for Alibag to release this year and am keeping my fingers crossed for that as people will see a different Sophie in it. What do you mean when you say 'different'? I seriously don't understand why we think that to take up a different image wo

Sunny Deol's 'Mohalla Assi' in dues row

While the Sunny Deol-Sakshi Tanwar-starrer Mohalla Assi might finally see the light of day in July, the issue of non-payment of dues to Italian translator Dr Michela Gemito continues to surround the film and has reached the Embassy of Italy in New Delhi.The Embassy has written a letter dated April 24, 2013 (a copy of which is with PT), asking producer Vinay Tiwari's production house to apprise them of the reasons for non-payment of the sum of `4 lakh as per the contract agreement.Michela, a PhD scholar of Indian literature and culture, had translated author Kashinath Singh's book Kashi Ka Assi on which the film is based. "Due to non-payment of the fees, a legal notice was sent by my lawyer last year but it produced only a denial from the production house that I was never employed or involved with the film," she said in a statement.Thus Michela has now approached the Embassy. Producer Tiwari said, "Yes, we have received a letter and my legal team will reply to it

Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms did not disclose Rs 30-cr income: I-T

"After investigation, we found that Balaji Telefilms did not disclose Rs 30 crore income. By not disclosing the amount, it has evaded tax," a senior Income Tax officer told. "Now, the production house has agreed to pay tax and penalty on the Rs 30 crore income. We will receive 30 per cent tax on this amount and also the penalty," the officer said. The officer further said that when Ekta Kapoor, the joint managing director of the company, was asked about tax evasion, she claimed that she is only involved in the making of films and television serials. "Hence, persons involved in the financial matters of the production house have been grilled," he added. During the search operation on April 30, a team of over 100 officials from the department swooped down on seven locations across the city, including that of producer Ekta Kapoor and her actor-father Jeetendra's residence in suburban Juhu. Balaji Telefilms' office and studio were among the seven prem

After Salman, Aamir Khan plans to shift home

Bandra may lose one of its stars to SoBo. Now that he has a growing baby, Aamir Khan has been planning to shift to a bigger house. With the deals in and around Bandra not workign out to his liking, the actor is focused on Parel and Worli.

However, it will take

My chemistry with Kareena goes a bit flat on screen: Saif

When two Bollywood stars tie the knot, there's increasing speculation about them being seen together on screen. But Saif Ali Khan, who's paired up with Ilean D'Cruz for his next film, isn't too keen to appear with his wife of six months in movies. "It's something that happens to me when I'm working with her, I'm not as interesting on screen," admits Saif, "I become like how I am when I am with her, which is not interesting. Normally, an actor is competitive, and that makes for good chemistry on screen. The chemistry goes a bit flat when you're too comfortable."The last time Kareena and Saif came together for a film was in 2009, for Kurbaan. Before that, they were seen in Tashan, but their first film together was JP Dutta's LOC: Kargil. Now, however, Saif and Kareena are maintaining a studied approach towards working together. Or let's say not working together. It's not like they aren't offers for endorsements, especia

Wildfire on Southern California coast threatens 4,000 homes

A fierce, wind-whipped wildfire spread on Friday along the California coast northwest of Los Angeles, threatening 4,000 homes and a military base as residents were evacuated ahead of the flames and a university campus was closed. More than 950 firefighters had built containment lines by late afternoon around about 20 percent of the inferno, which has blackened 18,000 acres of dry, dense brush and chaparral since erupting on Thursday morning. More firefighters were said to be on the way. Reuters reports Fire managers said they expected it would take until next Monday to achieve full containment of the blaze, which sent a pall of thick smoke drifting over the beach community of Malibu and farther inland across Los Angeles County. Several farm buildings and recreational vehicles were engulfed and fire officials said 15 homes were damaged, along with five commercial properties. While 25 outbuildings were destroyed, no residential structures were lost and no injuries had been reported to f

MSNBC forced apology: Egregiously Taking Quotes Out of Context for Gun Control Segment

MSNBC forced apology after egregiously taking quotes out of context for gun control segment. MSNBC host Thomas Roberts on Friday aired a portion of Vice President Joe Biden’s speech given at a plaque dedication remembering the Americans lost in the Benghazi terror attack and falsely claimed he was mourning “children as the victims of gun violence.” Roberts was discussing Biden’s reported plans to make a second push for gun control after losing in the first round. Theblaze reports In the selectively edited clip of Biden’s remarks, the vice president was talking about the serious risks that State Department employees and their families face as part of their service. “No child should predecease their parents. And I wish I could tell you we aren’t going to add anymore names with this wall…but the truth of the matter is, there will be more.” Biden said. After playing the video, Roberts falsely claimed that the vice president was talking about the children of gun violence before announcing h

Kobe Bryant, mom in court battle

Kobe Bryant is in a court battle to try to keep his mother from auctioning off mementos from his high school days in Pennsylvania and his early years with the Los Angeles Lakers. A New Jersey auction house filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Camden on Thursday for the right to sell the stuff after the NBA star's lawyers wrote the firm telling it to cancel a planned June auction. The disagreement is a high-value, high-profile version of a question many families face: Can Mom get rid of the stuff a grown child left at home? Espn reports Pamela Bryant intends to sell: the NBA star's jerseys, practice gear and sweatsuits from Lower Merion High School; varsity letters; a trophy for being the outstanding player at the 1995 Adidas ABCD basketball camp; and a signed basketball from the 2000 NBA championship game. And then there are rings, for the 1996 Pennsylvania high school championship, a pair that the Lakers made for Bryant's parents for the 2000 NBA championship and one

Guantanamo camp cost $900,000 a year per inmate

It's been dubbed the most expensive prison on Earth and President Barack Obama cited the cost this week as one of many reasons to shut down the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, which burns through some $900,000 per prisoner annually. The Pentagon estimates it spends about $150 million each year to operate the prison and military court system at the U.S. Naval Base in Cuba, which was set up 11 years ago to house foreign terrorism suspects. With 166 inmates currently in custody, that amounts to an annual cost of $903,614 per prisoner. By comparison, super-maximum security prisons in the United States spend about $60,000 to $70,000 at most to house their inmates, analysts say. And the average cost across all federal prisons is about $30,000, they say. Latimes reports The high cost was just one reason Obama cited when he returned this week to an unfulfilled promise to close the prison and said he would try again. Obama also said that the prison, set up under his Republican pre

Opposition says Syrian forces rounding up people in Tartus region

Syrian opposition groups charged Friday that government forces were continuing to round up people in a village near Syria's Mediterranean coast where an alleged massacre left scores dead. A major opposition umbrella group, known as the Syrian National Coalition, said troops and pro-government militia executed at least 150 people, including women and children, Thursday in the village of Bayda, in the coastal region of Tartus. The coalition labeled the killings “genocide” and said corpses had been burned. Other opposition accounts spoke of heavy bombardment and mass arrests. Latimes reports The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a pro-opposition group, said government sweeps continued in the area on Friday and that loyalist forces were taking away many residents. Opposition activists called for the Red Cross and other international organizations to head to the area in a bid to stop the violence. United Nations observers who once responded to reports of mass killings i

Google recognises Palestine

Google has recognised the Palestinians' upgraded UN status, placing the name "Palestine" on its search engine instead of "Palestinian Territories". The domain name www.google.ps, Google's search engine for the territories, now brings up a homepage with "Palestine" written underneath the Google logo. The change took effect on Wednesday, Google spokesman Nathan Tyler said in a statement. Smh reported "We're changing the name 'Palestinian Territories' to 'Palestine' across our products. We consult a number of sources and authorities when naming countries. In this case, we are following the lead of the UN ... and other international organisations," he said.

U.S. believes Israel has conducted an airstrike into Syria

United States believes Israel has conducted an airstrike into Syria, CNN reported on Friday, citing two unnamed U.S. officials. CNN quoted the officials as saying Israel most likely conducted the strike "in the Thursday-Friday time frame" and that Israel's warplanes did not enter Syrian airspace. Reuters reported It said the officials did not believe Israel had targeted a chemical weapons facility. There was no immediate confirmation. A White House spokeswoman referred questions on the CNN report to the Israeli government. In Jerusalem, an Israeli defense official declined comment, and a military spokeswoman said, "We do not comment on reports of this kind." The CNN report said that during the time frame of the attack, the United States had collected information showing Israeli warplanes overflying Lebanon. Israel has made clear in the past that it might intervene to prevent Syrian advanced weapons falling into the hands of militant groups, including Lebanon'

The move comes after a student from Kazakhstan - who did not have a valid visa - was accused by police of hiding evidence for one of the bomb suspects.

California wildfire grows to 18,000 acres; 20% contained

The Springs fire has scorched at least 18,000 acres between Pacific Coast Highway and the 101 Freeway, damage worsened by a harrowing about-face shift in winds that sent the fire roaring back to the north. The latest estimate from the Ventura County Fire Department said the blaze was only 20% contained as of 4:15 p.m. Officials said flames have crept within 100 feet of homes in Hidden Valley as the fire veered dangerously close to luxury homes and ranches in the area.

Tsarnaev wife refuses to talk

Tsarnaev wife refuses to talk to authorities and is communicating through Lawyer. Ever since Boston police identified the Boston Marathon bombing suspects as Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, authorities have been digging into the brothers’ pasts to learn why they wanted to hurt people at the finish line of the marathon.

Now, The New York Times is reporting that Dzhokhar has revealed some of the bombing plot to the F.B.I. From his hospital bed, the alleged bomber told police that he and Tamerlan had originally planned to plant their bombs on the Fourth of July.
