The Self-improvement Myth: 9 Reasons We Don' Posted By: Gary Jordan, Ph.D.
What do you do when you"re confronted with something you"re not good at?
Some people get discouraged and quit. Others keep doggedly working to get better at it, and in the process become more "well-rounded" human beings.
Conventional wisdom says that the second response is the healthy one. But the empirical evidence suggests that it"s people who specialize in an area of aptitude who are successful and happy, not those who focus their energies on becoming "well rounded."

Review: 7 password managers for Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, and Android
I hate passwords. I hate coming up with them. I hate remembering them. I hate mistyping them four times in a row. And I hate getting locked out of whatever I'm trying to log into in the process.
That said, I hate being hacked only slightly more, so I've done my part to use passwords that aren't "password123" or something equally foolish. The hard part is keeping them straight, which I could do by writing them down -- but isn't that a security hole all over again? Heck, I've known that since I was a kid. I saw "WarGames."

Fans rejoice over Magic Johnson's role with Dodgers
They profess a renewed interest in the team and apparently it's not all talk because the club's director of ticket sales says that 'the phones have been ringing 'literally off the hook.'
The first day of the Magic Johnson era was an unqualified success for the Dodgers, who not only sold out next month's home opener but did a brisk business in season-ticket sales as well.

Court Poised to Defeat Law with Echo of Obama
Toby Harnden, Daily Mail
It is a tad unfortunate that just days after the White House embraced the term "Obamacare" - previously regarded on the Left as a pejorative label - a majority of the nine Supreme Court justices have given strong indications they will rule it unconstitutional.Even more ironic is that the justices, or five of them at least, look like they might force President Barack Obama back to the drawing board partly on the basis of the argument one Senator Obama made against then Senator Hillary Clinton in 2008.

Senna considering two-stop strategy
Bruno Senna believes that anybody making proper use of a two-stop strategy during Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix will have a big advantage over those stopping three times. Formula 1 tyre supplier Pirelli is expecting most drivers make three stops during the race , with the heat and humidity at Sepang causing high levels of degradation to the medium compound rubber. But after qualifying, Williams driver Senna said that if a car can be set up to look after its tyres well, then the time gained through not making a third stop will more than off-set any pace loss during a stint.

Fees introduced on boules court and speedway track
AN emergency meeting of Filton Town Council has been held to discuss controversial charges for its boules court and cycle speedway track.
A row had erupted because the council was increasing charges for other sports facilities by five per cent but not for the little-used boules court or cycle track.
Some residents claimed it was unfair that there was a charging structure for other sports facilities, such as the tennis courts and football pitches but not for the two minority sports.
At the special finance meeting, held at the Pavilion in Elm Park last night, councillors voted to implement charges.
Filton Leisure Centre manager Lisa Timbrell recommended the council charge at least £4.20 per person for two hours on the boules courts and charge £15.40 per hour for group bookings of the cycle speedway track.
It was the third time Ms Timbrell has recommended charges – when she first did so in February councillors rejected her proposed costings as too high and then at a subsequent meeting deemed new costings too low.
This caused confusion among residents, who claimed at an earlier meeting that the reason behind delaying a decision for a charging structure was due to some Labour councillors' interests in the two sports, including South Gloucestershire ward councillor for Filton, Roger Hutchinson.
They also claimed at the same meeting that the council was discriminating against football teams and other sports by charging for them to use its facilities.
But Mr Hutchinson, a former member of the town council, told the Post it was "ridiculous" for residents to think that his links to the cycle speedway club and boules club had any effect on the town council's charging structure.
"There are no charges for the boules court because it is a pub game and as far as I know no other pubs charge users to play this sport," he said at the time.
Mr Hutchinson, who is treasurer of Filton Cycle Speedway Club, added: "There is a charge for competitions at the cycle track, just as there is for football matches. To train on the track is currently free and any large charge that the council imposes would make it impossible for our club to continue. Anyone can use the track, and at the moment lots of kids use it to ride and run round – would they have to be charged too?"
The new charges mean that group bookings, including cycle speedway events, will be charged at £15.40 per hour, with all day bookings being charged at £123.20. Filton Cycle Speedway Club currently trains at the track for 28 two-hour sessions per year, and will be charged £7.70 per hour, totalling £431.20 for the year.
Ms Timbrell's report recommended that the public be charged £1.10 per hour's use, but she pointed out that this would need to be enforced in some way.
She also recommended that the boules court charges were in line with those for the tennis or five-a-side courts at £15.40 per hour, but that people pay per player.
It means that two players would be charged £4.20 each, four players charged £4 each and six players charged £3.80 each.
Dave Mikkelson, who lives in Ferndale Road, was one of the residents who felt that the council's reluctance to agree a pricing structure for the two sports was unfair.
After last night's meeting he told the Post: "I think Lisa Timbrell came up with a really good pricing structure.
"It was fair because it fits in with what is charged for other sports."

Full-time: Bristol Rovers 1, Southend United 0
Bristol Rovers have extended their recent unbeaten run at the Memorial Stadium to seven games after Matt Harrold converted a late penalty to see off the challenge of promotion-chasing Southend United.
Harrold sent Southend goalkeeper Cameron Belford the wrong way by sending his spot-kick straight down the middle four minutes from time after Mustapha Carayol had been upended when trying to find a route through to goal.
It was no more than Rovers deserved after enjoying the better chances during what was largely a cagey and uninspiring first 45 minutes – before promotion-chasing Southend made a much better fist of the second-half.
Craig Stanley went close with a swerved effort from just outside of the penalty area as early as the sixth minute in what was Rovers first attack following a bright start from Paul Sturrock's side.
Chris Zebroski was the next to trouble the Southend goal with an angled drive that flew across the face of goal and wide of the far post in the 12th minute.
Zebroski was at the heart of Rovers' next opportunity when producing some clever link-up play to tee strike partner Harrold up with a shooting chance that was tamely struck into the body of Belford from all of 12 yards out.
Belford was made to work a bit harder to repel Matthew Lund's dipping volley soon after before Mustapha Carayol side-footed an attempt high and wide 10 minutes before the break.
There was still time, however, for left-back Jim Paterson to maraud down the left and unleash a vicious effort that Belford was forced to push out of harm's way before the referee brought the first half to a close.
Rovers started the second-half in much the same way and should have probably been ahead in the 55th minute; Zebroski racing to the byline and cutting back for Carayol, whose scuffed shot towards goal was blocked by a defender.
Southend had to wait until a minute later for their first real chance of the game – but debutant Freddy Eastwood failed to make any contact with what would have been a free header less than six yards from goal following a delicious set-piece delivery.
Eastwood, who was signed on loan from Coventry City on Thursday afternoon, almost made amends a minute later when an audacious shot from distance took everybody in the ground by surprise before it dipped and swerved over the crossbar.
The striker was involved again seconds later when directing a long ball into the path of on-rushing Michael Timlin. The Southend midfielder could only arrow a powerful effort wide of the post whilst on the run to give Rovers the opportunity to nick all three points following Harrold's late intervention.
Rovers: Bevan; Woodards, Bolger, Parkes, Paterson; Lund (Richards, 78) Gill (Dorman 82), Stanley, Carayol, Zebroski (Brown, 60), Harrold. Subs: Smith, Anyinsah.
Southend United: Belford; Clohessy, Phillips (Mohsni, 72) Barker, Prosser; Dailly (Hills, 60), Hall, Timlin, Grant, Eastwood, Benyon (Harris, 82). Subs: Ferdinand, Martin.

Exhibition of plans for derelict site hailed success
AN EXHIBITION showcasing a public consultation on the development of one of Bristol's biggest eyesores ends today.
Westmoreland House and the Carriageworks on Stokes Croft have been derelict for more than 25 years.
Action groups, working with Bristol City Council, have been presenting the public's ideas for the site's regeneration at an exhibition on Jamaica Street over the last two weeks.
Lori Streich, of the Carriageway Action Group, said: "The exhibition has been a success and we're moving in the right direction by bringing the future of the building out into the public.
"The whole aim has been to present the project's vision and launch it into the community, highlighting the ideas that people have contributed."
The consultation showed support for a mixed development of homes (53 per cent in favour), businesses (50 per cent in favour) and community spaces (75 per cent in favour) on the site. But regeneration of the site is subject to an agreement between prospective developers and the current owner, Comer Homes.
If a solution to the current deadlock can not be found, then the council may move for a Compulsory Purchase Order – forcing Comer to sell the site at market value.
Chris Chalkley, chairman of the People's Republic of Stokes Croft, which hosted the exhibition, said: "It's a step by step process and it's beginning to get people in the community believing that a solution which benefits the city and the local community is achievable."

Sony Xperia S headed to Canada, will run on Rogers [updated]
Update: The reference to Rogers on Sony Mobile Canada's Facebook page has been removed, and the network has contacted MobileSyrup? to clarify its plans for the device. The carrier says that while the Xperia S will run on its HSPA+ network, it won't be offered directly. This most likely means Canadians hoping to pick up an Xperia S will have to buy one outright from Sony.
Original story: Looks like Sony's new Xperia S will be arriving on North American shores in the near future, as Sony Mobile Canada has revealed that its high-end phone for early 2012 will be hitting the Rogers network. No release or pricing info is available just yet -- Sony just says the Rogers Xperia S is "coming soon."
The Xperia S is out now in Europe, and we recently got our hands on the finished article. While we were disappointed to see a flagship smartphone launching in Spring 2012 with Gingerbread, we were impressed with the Xperia S's build quality, HD Reality Display screen and 12MP EXMOR R camera. The phone's due an update to Ice Cream Sandwich during Q2, though, so depending on when Rogers launches it, Canadians may find their version comes pre-loaded with the latest version of Android.
For more on the Xperia S, check out our full review.
