they were able to identify the men when they attempted to steal textbooks again Aug. 30. The suspects failed to remove all of the loss prevention tags, which set off the alarm, and were asked to leave the store. Young said he believes there might be more incidents related to the investigation. Informational emails are sent when there is a series of related crimes and thats the case here, he said. Were not only looking to identify (the suspects), but we also dont want anyone else falling for this. Young said DPS is requesting information from anyone who has been approached and is asking students to report to DPS immediately if they are approached. The loss of the books is one thing, but to involve a student and endanger a student in some way is something were trying to prevent, Powell said. Sophomore Becka Brown said she thought Student Stores strict policies would deter shoplifters. Honestly, it seems like pretty tight security to me, she said. Theyve got the system down so that (thefts) are not a common thing. Freshman Samantha Elkins said if she were to be approached, she doesnt think she would fall for the scheme. Its kind of the same as when you have (homeless people) on Franklin trying to ask for money, she said. You just have to kind of brush it off and keep going. university@dailytarheel.com

happens and when you reach that number something magical happens. Sokal said Fredricksons paper is flawed because it lacks justification for the model created by Losada. A newcomer to the field of psychology and not an expert in math sees whats going on in this paper when the author didnt, the reviewers didnt, something happened, he said. And somehow over 300 people have cited this article in scholarly literature and it had over 25,000 Google hits. Despite the criticism, Losada stands by his methods. I have gathered data from hundreds of teams and my new and extensive data set unequivocally supports the Losada ratio (P/N = 3) in teams, as a threshold of high performance, he said in an email. Fredrickson published a paper in 2013 titled Updated Thinking on Positivity Ratios in response to one published by Brown, Sokal and Friedman criticizing her 2005 paper. But she said only the mathematics behind the 2.9013 tipping point was flawed, and every other element is valid. The value of a ratio and raising ones ratio for happiness isnt in question, she said. Fredrickson said she collaborated with Losada because of his expertise. His past work had been peer-reviewed and I accepted it as valid, she said. She said science relies on trusting the people youre collaborating with despite risk. If you fail to collaborate and learn from each other then youre keeping the reach of science very small. university@dailytarheel.com

intelligence about the NSA surveillance practices. The government has acknowledged since the Snowden leak that it is using the section to collect metadata about every phone call made or received at a residence in the United States, Preston said. We are challenging that as a violation of the Fourth Amendment. The Fourth Amendment guarantees that citizens have a right to be protected from unreasonable searches and seizures without a warrant. Preston said the lawsuit came after the ACLU learned Verizon was ordered by the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to turn over phone records for all users for a three-month period. The national ACLU is a Verizon customer. They believe that theres a violation of their employees privacy, of their customers privacy and (the privacy) of anyone else calling us to get information, she said. Duarte said some are concerned about the amount of information the NSA has been collecting. The problem is when the NSA collects data from Verizon customers, they collect all of it before they have any information about whether this person has done anything wrong or not, she said. Instead of showing they have a reason that someone has done something wrong, they are mass-collecting the data. Duarte said the impacts of mass collection could impact communications and the choices about what groups to associate with. Woolery said if privacy is threatened, there could be a chilling effect on what people choose to communicate and could compromise their First Amendment rights. The concern in this case is that if you are worried that someone, in this case the government, (is) reading your emails, then youll be more likely to censor yourself, she said. state@dailytarheel.com
