Good morning my pick of the week is the following topic "Sex offender hangs himself in jail". This happened in Florence, Arizona. A registered sex offender who touched off a manhunt in January after a 6-year-old Maricopa girl was abducted and sexually molested was found dead in his cell. The Pinal County Sheriff's Office said 26-year-old George Horner III hanged himself. It said Horner was found hanging in his cell on Sunday and could not be revived. The little girl Horner abducted from her home January 26 was found several hours later walking down a rural road in Casa Grande, about 20 miles from where she lives. Horner was captured the following morning at the Coolidge airport.

The Quebec general election of 2007 was held in the Canadian province of Quebec on March 26, 2007 to elect members of the National Assembly of Quebec. Despite recording only a 33% share of the popular vote, the Quebec Liberal Party managed to win a plurality of seats. The Liberals were, however, reduced to a minority government, Quebec's first in 129 years, since the 1878 general election. The Action démocratique du Québec, in a major breakthrough, became the official opposition. The Parti Québécois was relegated to third-party status for the first time since the 1973 election. The Liberals won their lowest share of the popular vote since Confederation, and the PQ won their lowest share since 1973 and their second lowest ever. Each of the three major parties won nearly one-third of the popular vote, easily the closest three-way split in Quebec electoral history. Voter turnout among those eligible was 71.28%.

The pick of the week is "Man found stuck in grocery store ductwork". A man was rescued on the morning of March 27, 2007 after he was found stuck in the air-conditioning ductwork of a Glendale supermarket. They assume it was a burglary-gone-bad and Cole said when workers arrived at the Food City this morning at 59th Avenue and Bethany Home Road they saw debris on the floor, along with some gloves. When they looked up, Cole said, they saw a guy stuck in the ductwork. Cole said officers thought the man had been severely injured because he wasn't moving. Firefighters were brought to the scene and managed to rescue the man, who wasn't immediately identified.Cole said he wasn't as severely injured as thought, however.Police planned to question him once he had been treated for any injuries.

My pick of the week is "Arizona among top 10 states for mortgage fraud". Arizona has went up to No. 7 in a ranking of states with the greatest amount of mortgage fraud, passing the 23rd spot it held the previous year. They say this is the highest Arizona has placed on the Mortgage Asset Research Institute's annual fraud survey. The placement is based on the number of mortgage fraud cases per total of state home loans. Data from the nation's biggest lenders are used to compile the survey. In January, legislation is making mortgage fraud a felony and a bill to license loan officers were introduced. It is estimated that 18,000 unlicensed people are taking mortgage applications and loan commissions in Arizona. But both bills could die if they aren't heard this week.

A mirror neuron is a neuron which fires both when an animal performs an action and when the animal observes the same action performed by another animal. Thus, the neuron "mirrors" the behavior of another animal, as though the observer were himself performing the action. These neurons have been observed in primates, in some birds, and in humans. In humans, they have been found in Broca's area and the inferior parietal cortex of the brain. Some scientists consider mirror neurons one of the most important findings of neuroscience in the last decade. See for example, an essay by Ramachandran on their potential importance in imitation and language.
