Men have harder time reading women's emotions: study

Men have harder time reading women's emotions: study
A new study finds that men have a harder time reading women's emotions than they do other men's -- because they use different parts of their brain when trying to identify feelings in women versus in men. In the study published in PLOS ONE, the researchers examined the brains of 22 male 

participants as they conducted a well-established empathy test called "Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test." Try it yourself here: questionwritertracker.com/quiz/61/Z4MK3TKB.html

The test consists of snapshots of sets of eyes, and subjects have to guess whether the eyes belong to a male or female, and then what emotional state the eyes are expressing, reports Discover magazine. While subjects performed the test, researchers examined their brain activity via MRI scans.

The male subjects did equally well at guessing the gender of the male and female eyes, but they did much worse at recognizing the emotions of the female eyes -- about twice as bad researchers said. Subjects correctly interpreted women's emotions 76 percent of the time, compared to 87 percent of the time for men's eyes, and also took longer to guess them.

As to why this happens, it could be evolutionary, reports Discover. The researchers say that, to aid in territorial battles for example, it may have been beneficial for men to accurately and rapidly interpret another man's facial expressions. But still, while there are differences in how men read male and female emotions, the scientists say that men still do a decent job at understanding women, most of the time.

Prior research has found that when compared to women, men are better at identifying facial expressions of anger, while women are better at recognizing fear and sadness.

Its official! Men with larger penises `more attractive` to women

Its official! Men with larger penises `more attractive` to women
A team of international scientists have said that women do find men with larger penises more attractive. They said that prehistoric women who could see the sex organs of their scantily clad male counterparts may have helped influence the evolution of larger genitals in men by choosing to 

mate with partners who had larger sex organs.

Researchers said that they decided to tackle the topic as past studies had offered conflicting answers, and may have been sullied by asking the women too directly.

Lead author Brian Mautz, a postdoctoral researcher in evolution and sexual selection at the University of Ottawa, used computer-generated images of generic male figures with varying heights, body shapes and flaccid penis lengths.

A sample of 105 Australian women were then asked to look at 53 of these life-sized robot-like pictures, which rotated so that they were visible at different angles.

The women - all heterosexual - were not told that they were taking part in a study about penis size and were simply asked to rate the figures according to sexual attractiveness.

Researchers found that the women rated tall men with long penises as the most attractive and they also tended to gaze longer at the larger men, Health24 reported.

The study has been published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

The top most dangerous websites for your PC enlisted

The top most dangerous websites for your PC enlisted
Internet security company Norton Symantec has come up with a list of Top 100 Dirtiest sites, which could infect your computer with malware.

Malware is a software that can damage or compromise a computer system without the owner's consent.

Natalie Connor, spokeswoman of the anti-virus company, said that even visiting any of the named websites could expose a computer to infection and put the personal information into the hands of unwanted people.

"What people don't realise is when you type in a website, you're bringing down information on a page and with it could be malware," News.com.au quoted her as saying.

The list was compiled with the help of global data collected on Norton Safe Web, a site that analysed websites' security risks.

The infected sites had on average 18,000 threats and 40 per cent of the sites had more than 20,000 threats, while 75 per cent of websites on the list were found to be spreading malware for over six months.

According to Connor, most websites in the list had adult content with unprintable names, suggesting they contained hardcore pornography.

Some others sites include those on ice skating, deer hunting, catering and legal services.

Hackers can apparently obtain personal information using keystroke-logging software from both PCs and Mac computers.he reps said that hackers are a force to reckon with as cyber crime is increasing rapidly.

She added: "The last thing we want to do is scare people, we want to educate them so they know how to protect themselves.

"It's not about the fame any more of creating viruses and getting in the media. They're making money."

Norton released a sample of the dirtiest websites:

9 Extraordinary almost Supernatural Human Abilities,We all Have at least one.

9 Extraordinary almost Supernatural Human Abilities,We all Have at least one.

Thinking about how some people are blessed (or cursed, depending on your point of view) with the ability to recall a scene as if they were looking at a photograph led to this post...
And how other people can recreate music from memory, such as Mozart’s famed reproduction of Gregorio Allegri’s Miserere after one hearing.

What other extraordinary abilities might we humans have 

I’ve listed nine of the most well understood (i.e. not paranormal or ‘fringe science’) and interesting abilities rated from most common to most interesting and rare. Bear in mind that most of these unusual abilities are genetic and cannot be controlled by the person affected but are an inherent quality of their physical self.

In no particular Order...


9 - Supertasters



People who experience taste with greater intensity than the rest of the population are called supertasters. Having extra fungiform papillae (the mushroom shaped bumps on the tongue that are covered in taste buds) is thought to be the reason why these people have a stronger response to the sensation of taste. Of the five types of taste, sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami, a supertaster generally finds bitterness to be the most perceptible.

Scientists first noticed the differing abilities of people to taste a known compound when a DuPont chemist called Arthur Fox asked people to taste Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC). Some people could taste its bitterness; some couldn’t – whether people could depended on their genetic make-up (a variant of this test is now one of the most common genetic tests on humans). While about 70% of people can taste PTC, two thirds of them are rated as medium and only one third (approximately 25% of the wider population) are supertasters.

Supertasters will often dislike certain foods, particularly bitter ones, such as brussel sprouts, cabbage, coffee, and grapefruit juice. Women, Asians, and Africans are most likely to have the increased number of fungiform papillae that make them supertasters.


Tongue colored with Blue food dye revealed the fungiform papillae.

Women are more likely to be supertasters, as are Asians and Africans. Among individuals of European descent, it is estimated that about 25% of the population are supertasters...
The cause of this heightened response is currently unknown, although it is thought to be, at least in part, due to an increased number of fungiform papillae. The evolutionary advantage to supertasting is unclear. In some environments, heightened taste response, particularly to bitterness, would represent an important advantage in avoiding potentially toxic plant alkaloids. However, in other environments, increased response to bitter may have limited the range of palatable foods. In a modern, energy-rich environment, supertasting may be cardioprotective, due to decreased liking and intake of fat, but may increase cancer risk via decreased vegetable intake. It may be a cause of picky eating, but picky eaters are not necessarily supertasters, and vice versa.




8 - Absolute pitch



People with absolute pitch are capable of identifying and reproducing a tone without needing a known reference. It is not simply a better ability to hear but the ability to mentally class sounds into remembered categories. Examples of this include identifying the pitch of everyday noises (e.g. horns, sirens, and engines), being able to sing a named note without hearing a reference, naming the tones of a chord, or naming the key signature of a song. Doing any of these is a cognitive act – it requires one to remember the frequency of each tone, be able to label it (e.g. ‘A’, ‘C#’, or ‘F-flat’), and sufficient exposure to the range of sound within each label. Opinions vary as to whether absolute pitch is genetic or a learned ability that is strongly influenced to one’s exposure to music at crucial developmental stages – much like how a child’s ability to identify colors by their frequency depends on the type and level of their exposure to it.

Estimates of the portion of the population having absolute pitch range from 3% of the general population in the US and Europe to 8% of those (from the same areas) who are semi-professional or professional musicians. In music conservatories in Japan however, about 70% of musicians have absolute pitch. Part of the reason for this significantly larger percentage may be because absolute pitch is more common among people who grew up in a tonal (Mandarin, Cantonese, and Vietnamese) or pitch accent (Japanese) language environment. Absolute pitch is also more common in those who are blind from birth, have William’s Syndrome, or have an autism spectrum disorder.


A bird’s range of hearing is similar to ours, although it is more sensitive.  They hear what we hear differently than and perceive it in different ways.
Birds recall absolute pitch.  If you try to teach your bird a song on a piano and always play it in the same octave, they will recognize the song.  If you play the same song, but in a higher or lower octave, they may not. Birds can hear shorter sounds than we can.  A human can hear a single sound, a musical note for instance,  that is 1/20th of a second long, whereas a bird can hear in increments of 1/200th of a second.  So this means that where we perceive one note, a bird could hear ten.

Do u have Absolute Pitch  Take The Pitch Test

Possessors of absolute pitch exhibit the ability in varying degrees. Generally, absolute pitch implies some or all of the following abilities when done without reference to an external standard:

    * Identify by name individual pitches (e.g. A, B, C?) played on various instruments
    * Name the key of a given piece of tonal music just by listening(without reference to an external
       -tone)
    * Identify and name all the tones of a given chord or other tonal mass
    * Accurately sing a given pitch without an external reference
    * Name the pitches of common everyday noises such as car horns
    * Identify the numerical value in hertz of a given note.

Individuals may possess both absolute pitch and relative pitch ability in varying degrees. Both relative and absolute pitch work together in actual musical listening and practice, although individuals exhibit preferred strategies in using each skill.

7 - Tetrachromacy


Featherly Colors


The color-detecting equipment inside an eye is called a "cone."

Tetrachromacy is the ability to see light from four distinct sources. An example of this in the animal kingdom is the zebrafish (Danio rerio), which can see light from the red, green, blue, and ultraviolet sections of the light spectrum. True tetrachromacy in humans is much rarer however – according to Wikipedia only two possible tetrachromats have been identified.


The color-detecting equipment inside an eye is called a "cone."


The number of visible colors is defined by the kinds of cones in the eye.
Humans are normally trichromats, having three types of cone cells that receive light from either the red, green, or blue part of the light spectrum.


A Cone Cell
 Each cone can pick up about 100 graduations of color and the brain combines colors and graduations so that there are about 1 million distinguishable hues coloring your world.


Are You a Tetrachromat?

If all you see are three circles filled with dots of the same color, you are normal. If you see something different (such as different colored letters inside each circle)
You may be a tetrachromat: very rare and super human.
A tetrachromat is sort of like being a super taster of color vision. To date, only two or three people have been identified as potential tetrachromats.
The most likely candidate for being a tetrachromat:
• You are a woman
• You have men with red/green colorblindness in your family.
• In particular, you have a son or father with red/green colorblindness. 
Test Link...
http://www.blogadilla.com/2008/06/08/are-you-a-tetrachromat/

A Tetrachromat is someone who can see additional colors that normal humans cannot. Regular people can see 3 primary colors and TetraChromats can see four, thus opening them up to an endless array of different shades of colors we've never seen at all. A true tetrachromat with an extra type of cone between red and green (in the orange range) would, theoretically, be able to perceive 100 million colors.

Like supertasting, tetrachromacy is thought to be much more common in women than men – estimates range from 2 – 3% to 50% of women. Interestingly, colour-blindness in men (much more common than in women) may be inherited from women with tetrachromacy.

Amazing, just to think of it. Unfortunately, in the future this great gift could turn out to be a challenge for them. For instance, in the future of 3D TV and 3D movies it could be problematic entirely, meaning they will not be able to enjoy what we see so well. Remember, 3D uses strategies which trick the eyes.

6 - Echolocation

Extraordinary People - The boy who sees without eyes


Echolocation is how bats fly around in dark forests – they emit a sound, wait for the echo to return, and use that sound of the echo in each ear plus the return time to work out where an object is and how far away. Surprisingly (well, maybe not on this list!), humans are also capable of using echolocation. Use of echolocation is probably restricted to blind people because it takes a long time to master and heightened sensitivity to reflected sound.

To navigate via echolocation a person actively creates a noise (e.g. tapping a cane or clicking the tongue) and determines from the echoes where objects are located around them. People skilled at this can often tell where an object is, what size it is, and its density. Because humans cannot make or hear the higher pitched frequencies that bats and dolphins use they can only picture objects that are comparatively larger than those ‘seen’ by echolocating animals.

Human echolocation is the ability of humans to sense objects in their environment by hearing echoes from those objects. This ability is used by some blind people to navigate within their environment. They actively create sounds, such as by tapping their canes, lightly stomping their foot or by making clicking noises with their mouths. Human echolocation is similar in principle to active sonar and to the animal echolocation employed by some animals, including bats and dolphins.


Time waveform (a) and spectrogram (b) of a typical echolocation pulse of an big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus). Echolocation pulses are brief in time (1-5ms) and between 20 kHz and 100 kHz in frequency.
By interpreting the sound waves reflected by nearby objects, a person trained to navigate by echolocation can identify the location and sometimes size of nearby objects and use this information to steer around obstacles and travel from place to place. However, since humans make sounds with much lower frequencies and slower rates, human echolocation can only picture comparatively much larger objects than other echolocating animals.


Tuning In - Some blind people have developed their own personal sonar technique by using echolocation to locate objects and navigate their surroundings

People with the ability to echolocate include James Holman, Daniel Kish, and Ben Underwood. Perhaps the most remarkable and well-documented of cases is the story of Ben Underwood, who lost both his eyes to retinal cancer at the age of three. He is shown in the video above (warning: the scene where he puts in his prosthetic eyeballs may be a bit disturbing for some).

5 - Genetic Chimerism


Dna 500

In the Iliad Homer described a creature having body parts from different animals, a chimera, from this mythological monster comes the name of the genetic equivalent – chimerism. Genetic chimerism, or tetragametism, in humans and other animals happens when two fertilized eggs or embryos fuse together early in pregnancy. Each zygote carries a copy of its parents DNA and thus a distinct genetic profile. When these merge, each population of cells retains its genetic character and the resulting embryo becomes a mixture of both. Essentially, a human chimera is their own twin.




Protein Data Bank (PDB) 3-D Structure
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGene?org=Human&hgg_gene=uc001mae.1&hgg_chrom=none&db=hg18

Chimerism in humans is very rare; Wikipedia states that there are only about 40 reported cases. DNA testing is often used to establish whether a person is biologically related to their parents or children and can uncover cases of chimerism when DNA results show that children are not biologically related to their mothers – because the child inherited a different DNA profile to the one shown by a blood test. This is what happened in the case of Lydia Fairchild: DNA tests of herself and her children led the state to think that she was not actually their mother.

People born with chimerism typically have immune systems that make them tolerant to both genetically distinct populations of cells in their body. This means that a chimera has a much wider array of people to choose from should they need an organ transplant.

4 - Synesthesia



Imagine consistently associating numbers or letters with certain colours, or hearing a specific word which triggers a particular sensation of taste on your tongue. These are two forms of a neurological condition called synesthesia. Synesthesia is when stimulation of a particular sensory or cognitive pathway leads to an involuntary (i.e. synesthesia is not learnt) response in other sensory or cognitive pathways.


Reaction times for answers that are congruent with a synesthete’s automatic colors are faster than those whose answer is incongruent.

Synesthesia is most often genetic and the grapheme (letters, numbers, or other symbols) to colour form of synesthesia is the commonest. Other synesthetes can experience special-sequence synesthesia (e.g. where dates have a precise location in space), ordinal linguistic personification (when numbers have personalities), or sound to colour synesthesia (where tones are perceived as colours).


Regions thought to be cross-activated in grapheme-color synesthesia (green=grapheme recognition area, red=V4 color area)
Possible neural basis for grapheme-color synesthesia. The region of the visual pathway involved in recognizing letters and numbers (graphemes) is indicated in green, while one a region involved in color processing (hV4) is indicated in red. Due to the adjacency of these regions, there is an increased probability of connections being retained, leading to cross-activation between the grapheme area and hV4.


Although synesthesia is a neurological condition it shouldn’t be thought of as a disorder, because generally it does not interfere with a person’s ability to function. Most people are not even aware that their experiences of life elicit more sensory responses than other peoples might and the ones that are rarely consider synesthesia to have a negative impact on their lives.


The automaticity of synesthetic experience. The panel on the left is how a non-synesthete perceives the matrix, while a given synesthete might perceive it like the panel on the right.
This image demonstrates the logic of one test used to demonstrate the reality of synesthesia. On the left is the image presented to participants, in which a triangle composed of 2s is embedded among a field of 5s. For non-synesthetes this triangle would be hard to identify (displays were presented for one second). However, for someone who experiences 2s as red and 5s as green, the triangle should be more easily identified

Predictions of the percentage of people with synesthesia vary widely, from 1 in 20 to 1 in 20,000. Studies from 2005 and 2006, using a random population sample, suggested 1 in about 23 people have synesthesia. Examples of people with synesthesia include the author Vladimir Nabokov, composer Olivier Messiaen, and scientist Richard Feynman. Daniel Tammet, who is mentioned in the next section of this list, is a synesthete (in addition to being a mental calculator) who sees numbers with shapes and texture.

3 - Mental calculators


04 03 10---Calculator Web

The most extraordinary group of people adept at performing complex mental calculations is those who are also autistic savants. While there are many trained people who can work out multiplications of large numbers (among other calculations) in their head extremely fast – mostly mathematicians, writers, and linguists – the untrained ability of autistic savants is the most interesting. The majority of these people are born with savant syndrome (only an estimated 50% of people with savantism are also autistic), which is still poorly understood, few develop it later in life, usually due to a head injury.


BrainScan during Complex Mathematical Calculations

There are less than 100 recognised prodigious savants in the world and of the savants with autism who are capable of using mental calculation techniques there are even less. Recent research has suggested that a blood flow to the part of the brain responsible for mathematical calculations of six to seven times the normal rate is one of the factors that enables mental calculators to work out math much faster than the average person.


Mathematicians and scientists reportedly used beauty as a cue for truth in mathematical judgment. People with mental math abilities can visualize as above, a result of complex fractal calculations

Examples of people with extraordinary calculation skills include Daniel McCartney, Salo Finkelstein, and Alexander Aitken. Daniel Tammet is one of few who are also autistic savants.

2 - Eidetic memory

When a person has photographic memory or total recall this is called eidetic memory.


Camera Man - The miracle of the brain

It is the ability to recall sounds, images, or objects from one’s memory with extreme accuracy. Examples of eidetic memory include the effort of Akira Haraguchi who recited from memory the first 100,000 decimal places of pi and the drawings of Stephen Wiltshire (who is also an autistic savant) – his recreation of Rome is shown in the video above. Kim Peek, the inspiration for the autistic (Peek is not actually autistic though) character of Raymond Babbit in the movie Rainman, also possesses eidetic memory – among other things he can recall some 12,000 books from memory.


Photographic memory Brain Areas


Photographic memories can be so exact that they allow someone to recite poetry in languages that they couldn’t even understand several years after seeing the poem in written form.  Other ways that people demonstrate their memorizing capabilities is by attempting to recall the order of a randomly shuffled deck of cards or a random string of numbers that are shown for a short period of time. However, photographic memories are more than just a means of memorizing lots of irrelevant data.  One person that has put his photographic memory to good use is Robert Evans, a super tight Australian astronomer who currently holds the record for visual discoveries of supernovae with 42 discoveries (nobody has even come close to his mark).  Over the course of his life, he has memorized the positions of around 1500 galaxies, and he can notice changes simply by looking at the sky through his telescope.  Absolutely incredible.


Daniel Temmet , True Eidetic Memory

Whether true photographic memory exists in adults is still a controversial issue, but it is accepted that eidetic abilities are distributed evenly between men and women. One also cannot become an eidetiker through practice.

1 - Immortal cells



Hela

There is only one known case of a person having immortal cells (cells that can divide indefinitely outside of the human body, defying the Hayflick Limit) and that is of a woman named Henrietta Lacks. In 1951, 31 year old Henrietta Lacks was diagnosed with cervical cancer, which she died from within the year. Unknown to her and her family (i.e. without informed consent) a surgeon took a tissue sample from her tumor that was passed on to a Dr. George Gey. A scientist for the John Hopkins University Tissue Culture Laboratory, Gey propagated Lacks’ tissue sample into an immortal cell line – the HeLa cell line (pictured above). The cells from Lacks’ tumour have an active version of the telomerase enzyme (telomerase is the mechanism by which cells age or are aged) and proliferate abnormally fast. On the day of Henrietta Lacks’ death, Dr. Gey announced to the world that a new age in medical research had begun – one that might provide a cure for cancer.


HeLa cells stained with Hoechst 33258 stain.

HeLa cells were utilised in 1954 by Jonas Salk to develop the cure for polio. Since then they’ve been used in researching cancer, AIDS, the effects of radiation and toxic substances, and for mapping genes, among other things.


The cells are called HeLa cells because they were taken from Henrietta Lacks, she died from her cancer on October 4, 1951.
Henrietta’s cells were the first immortal human cells ever grown in culture. They were essential to developing the polio vaccine. They went up in the first space missions to see what would happen to cells in zero gravity. Many scientific landmarks since then have used her cells, including cloning, gene mapping and in vitro fertilization. Read more here.


Hela cells
These Hela cells were prepared for undergraduate students to learn how to take digital images on fluorescence microscopes and to overlay the images into different color channels. We were also discussing and observing the changes that take place to the cytoskeleton (tubulin and actin) and DNA (DAPI) during the various phases of mitosis that were present in the preparation.

Today, the HeLa cells are so common in laboratories that they contaminate many other cell cultures and have rendered some biological studies invalid through their presence. There are also more HeLa cells alive today than when Henrietta Lacks was alive – they outweigh her physical mass by many times. Tragically, Lacks was never told of the immensely valuable contribution her cells made to science and her family was not informed until many years later that her cells were being used for research purposes (a 1990 court ruling later verified Lacks’ hospital
as the owner of her discarded tissue and cells). I highly recommend reading this story for a better picture of Henrietta Lacks’ life and the consequences of her cancer.

Infographic: After effects of Porn ban

Recently, there have been reports about the film Censor Board's severe censorship guidelines over item numbers and violence shown against women in films. And now close to its heels, is the Indian Government which has proposed the idea of banning porn to help curb the rising crimes against women in the country.

While there is a huge debate going on over whether such a ban will really help reduce crime in the society, we at Bollywood Hungama decided to take a quirky look at how the 'Porn Ban' would affect the film business. Take a look:

Pakistan: Pervez Musharraf on the run after court orders arrest

Former Pakistani military ruler Pervez Musharraf and his security team pushed past policemen and sped away from a court in the country's capital on Thursday to avoid arrest after his bail was revoked in a case in which he is accused of treason.

Local TV broadcast footage of the

• Musharraf to appeal against his arrest
• Musharraf becomes the butt of twitterati's jokes after he flees court

dramatic scene in which Musharraf jumped into a black SUV and escaped as a member of his security team hung to the side of the vehicle. He sped away to his large compound on the outskirts of Islamabad that is protected by high walls, razor wire and guard towers.

This week has gone from bad to worse for Musharraf, who seized power in a coup in 1999 when he was serving as army chief and spent nearly a decade in power before being forced to step down in 2008. He returned last month after four years in self-imposed exile to make a political comeback despite legal challenges and Taliban death threats, but has since faced paltry public support.

A court in the northwestern city of Peshawar on Tuesday disqualified Musharraf from running in the parliamentary election scheduled for May 11, likely squashing his hopes for political comeback.

The case before the Islamabad High Court on Thursday involved Musharraf's decision in 2007 to detain senior judges, including the chief justice of the Supreme Court, when he declared a state of emergency and suspended the constitution.

Reactions:
The decision outraged many Pakistanis, and further fueled a nationwide protest movement by lawyers that eventually resulted in Musharraf stepping down under the threat of impeachment.

Lawyers shouted, "Look who is running, Musharraf is running!" as Musharraf fled the court Thursday.

Before he returned to the country, Musharraf obtained pre-arrest bail for the judges' case and two others, meaning he could not be arrested when he landed — a feature of Pakistan's legal system.

The Islamabad High Court refused to extend that bail on Thursday and ordered his arrest, said police officer Ali Asghar.

The court previously agreed to extend his bail in the case for six days on April 12. It's unclear why they chose to reject it this time.

Policemen were deployed at the court who could have detained the former military ruler, but he managed to escape, said Asghar. Read: Musharraf becomes the butt of twitterati's jokes after he flees court

Many of the policemen and paramilitary soldiers at the court did not seem to try to prevent Musharraf from leaving as he pushed past them.

Musharraf's lawyer, Ahmad Raza Kasuri, complained that the court didn't listen to their arguments.

"It is a one-sided decision," said Kasuri.

The former military ruler's legal team will contact the Supreme Court on Thursday to challenge the decision, said the secretary general of Musharraf's party, Muhammad Amjad.

Musharraf's decision to flee the court could put the Pakistani army in an awkward situation. The former general is protected by paramilitary soldiers who officially report to the Interior Ministry, but are headed by senior army officers.

Ali Dayan Hasan, the director of Human Rights Watch in Pakistan, called on the military authorities protecting Musharraf to comply with the court's order and ensure that he presents himself for arrest.

"General Musharraf's act today underscores his disregard for due legal process and indicates his assumption that as a former army chief and military dictator he can evade accountability for abuses," said Hasan in a statement sent to reporters.

"Continued military protection for general Musharraf will make a mockery of claims that Pakistan's armed forces support the rule of law and bring the military further disrepute that it can ill afford," Hasan said.

Pakistan has a long history of the army seizing power in military coups, and the service is considered the most powerful institution in the country.

If convicted of treason, Musharraf could face the death penalty or life in prison. But the federal government would have to file charges against the former military ruler, which it has not yet done. The petitions in Islamabad High Court accusing Musharraf of treason were all filed by individuals.

Musharraf faces similar accusations from petitions filed before the Supreme Court. He also faces legal charges in two other cases. One involves allegations that Musharraf didn't provide adequate security to former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who was killed in a gun and suicide attack in 2007. The other relates to the death of a nationalist leader in Baluchistan in 2006.

Given the legal challenges and Taliban threats against Musharraf, many experts have been left scratching their heads as to why he returned. Some have speculated he misjudged the level of public backing he would get, while others guessed he was simply homesick.

Musharraf's return to Pakistan
Musharraf flew to the southern city of Karachi from Dubai on March 24. He was only met by a couple thousand people at the airport, a sign of how little support analysts say he enjoys in the country. A few days later, an angry lawyer threw a shoe at Musharraf as he was walking through a court building in Karachi.

The former military ruler applied to run for parliament from four different districts in Pakistan, which is allowed by the country's political system. Judges initially rejected three of his applications, but an official in the remote, northern district of Chitral gave him approval to run.

That changed Tuesday when the High Court in the northwestern city of Peshawar disqualified Musharraf in Chitral. He can appeal the decision to the Supreme Court, but legal experts speculated that chances the decision would be overturned were remote.

Dozens of police and elite commandos blocked the main road leading to the compound where Musharraf was holed up on the outskirts of Islamabad on Thursday and residents were asked to use another route to go to their homes.

About 20 Musharraf supporters who gathered near the compound held banners and shouted slogans in favor of the former military ruler.
