State news agency: Egypt sets Mubarak retrial for April 13

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's Appeals Court has set April 13 as the date for a retrial of former president Hosni Mubarak, his interior minister and aides on charges of ordering the killing of protesters, MENA state news agency reported on Sunday.

Mubarak is in a military hospital. In January a Cairo court granted him the retrial after he was jailed for life over the killing of protesters in early 2011 by security forces trying to quell the uprising against him.

"Samir Abu el Maati, the head of the Appeals Court has set April 13 as the retrial date for former President Hosni Mubarak, his two sons Gamal and Alaa and his interior minister Habib el-Adly and six of his top aides ... on charges of killing of protesters during the January 25th revolution," MENA state news agency said.

Mubarak, 84, was ousted in February 2011 after 30 years in power and was the first Arab ruler to be brought to court by his own people.

For unemployment comp purposes, employee quits the day she ...

Workers receiving unemployment compensation benefits are encouraged to take available positions even if it looks like the job may be unsuitable. As incentive, taking the job and then quitting within 30 days won?t bar continued unemployment compensation benefits, as long as the worker can also show the job was unsuitable.

The date that counts isn?t the last day worked, but the day the worker gave notice.

Recent case: Ulanda, who was receiving unemployment benefits, took a job with a temp agency. She is a single mom and almost immediately had attendance problems related to child care. She received several warnings.

On her 30th day with the agency, she submitted notice that she was quitting. She ended up working an additional day and asking for accommodations for her child-care needs. Her request was rejected.

Ulanda then reapplied for benefits but was rejected. On appeal, the court considered whether she had quit on the 30th day?which would have allowed her to collect benefits based on her original job?or on the 31st day, the last day she worked.

The court concluded the day that counted was the day she announced she was quitting, not the last day she worked.

The judge sent the case back to the administrative law judge to determine whether the job she had held for 31 days was unsuitable for her. (Wiley v. Dolphin Staffing, No. A12-0383, Court of Appeals of Minnesota, 2012)

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.htmDifferential parenting found to negatively affect whole family, even the favored childhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130212100556.htm Parents act differently with different children -- for example, being more positive with one child and more negative with another. A new longitudinal study looking at almost 400 Canadian families has found that this behavior negatively affects not only the child who receives more negative feedback, but all the children in the family. The study also found that the more risks experienced by parents, the more likely they will treat their children differentially.Tue, 12 Feb 2013 10:05:05 ESThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130212100556.htmNegative stereotypes about boys hinder their academic achievementhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130212100554.htm Researchers investigated the role of gender stereotypes. They found that from a very young age, children think boys are academically inferior to girls, and they believe that adults think so, too. Each of the three studies (two of which were experimental) included 150+ participants. Findings suggest that negative academic stereotypes about boys are acquired in children's earliest years of primary education and have self-fulfilling consequences.Tue, 12 Feb 2013 10:05:05 ESThttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130212100554.htmYoung children may go above and beyond when helping adultshttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130212095738.htm Even very young children understand that adults don't always know best.

Small Call (for Android)


Small Call is an Android app designed to minimize app-interruption on Android when you receive a call or text?a? good idea, because some apps may not recover well from an incoming call or text message when they are running in the background. Small Call does not provide much benefit over the native Android OS capabilities overall, but if you have a particular background-running app that becomes unstable when you get a call or text, you may want to check out Small Call (.99 GooglePlay).

Configuring
After installing and launching the app, you get a couple of settings choices. A toggle slide switch lets you enable or disable Small Call. You can also adjust the opacity of a pop-up menu that the app displays?that is, the amount of contrast between the menu's icons and the background.

You can tell Small Call to prevent calls and texts from interrupting the main task you're doing with your device in a few ways. For incoming calls, you can choose to simply reject the call with no further action, send the call to voicemail, or pick up and then hang up on the caller?a rather extreme solution. These actions are performed via a pop-up overlay that Small Call displays when a call or text is received.

You can also opt to use Small Call to handle incoming texts. When you receive a text, the Small Call pop up overlay shows you the message, tells you who the message is from, and lets you ignore it or shoot a text back.? The default text message to send is set as "Can't talk now, what's up?" which encourages the person contacting you to text you again, further disturbing you when you don't want to be interrupted in the first place. Fortunately, you can set a custom message up to 250 characters.

Testing
I tested Small Call on my rather dated?Droid 3?with three apps running: a game called Stand o' Food 3, Spotify, and a stopwatch app.? I also tested writing a text message while getting an incoming call with Small Call enabled. I set Small Call to send ignored calls to VM.

With Small Call enabled and the Stand o' Food game running, I saw the app's overlay screen give me the option to Ignore, Text, or Answer. As was always the case before I installed Small Call, my game was interrupted with Small Call handling the call. My call was sent to VM as I configured the app to do. Although my game was interrupted, at least the game app was still open so I could quickly re-launch the game, but that's always the case.

Next I ran a critical stopwatch app I use to test device performance with Small Call enabled. This was where I find value in Small Call. Normally, when I get a call with my stopwatch app running, I get the Android phone call interface, which blocks my view of the stopwatch and sometimes stops the countdown. With Small Call handling incoming calls, I instead get a little pop-up window at the bottom of my screen so I can handle the call and keep an eye on my countdown.

With Spotify streaming music and Small Call enabled, I did get the Small Call screen and could choose to ignore the call and send it to VM. Enabling Small Call made no difference while using Spotify, because I can handle the calls pretty much the same way natively with Android and Spotify will go back to streaming music with or without Small Call.

Next, I tested what happens when I'm in the middle of writing a text message and the phone rings. This is one of the most annoying interruptions with an Android phone, because you are almost always guaranteed to lose your place typing the message (although my phone natively does a good job of saving a draft message, instantly). When I received an inbound call in the middle of typing a text, the Small Call pop-up overlay appeared, and I was able to ignore the call and send it to voicemail. The message was saved as a draft and I was able to go to creating the text. Again though, Android handles interrupted text messages like that, anyway.

Good Perhaps for Some Apps
Since I last tested Small Call, the developers have done a good job of fixing some bugs that caused the app to crash every once in a while. The value of Small Call really depends on the apps you have running in the background. With Spotify Small Call makes no difference, but for my stopwatch app, Small Call helps. If you run an app that acts flaky whenever you receive a call or text, give Small Call a try.
