Research Portfolio Offers More Information, New Tools
NCI has launched a revamped version of the NCI-Funded Research Portfolio (NFRP) on Cancer.gov. The revision consolidates information that was previously available across various pages of NCI's Web site, including funding and data on NCI's intramural research program, and makes available information not previously found on Cancer.gov.
Users can search individual disease categories and specific conditions, or use a more overarching approach to search by year of funding or key words. The research project records yielded by the search include a link to the abstract that explains their methodology and goals.
Users can also select how they would like to view the output of their searches: either a detailed "coding" report that shows all of the codes NCI's expert indexers used to categorize each research project or grant, or a "budget" report that details the proportional relevance of that project to a given category and the prorated dollars to a given category. This information can be exported into an Excel spreadsheet.
The new NFRP site can be accessed from various points on Cancer.gov, including the "Research and Funding" tab along the top, or the "Science Serving People" or "Director's Corner" portals. The NFRP will continue to undergo refinements in the coming months. Users are encouraged to submit their comments to email@example.com.

The Filmmaker Celebrates the Founder of the World's Most Recognizable Luxury Label
Louis Vuitton's beginnings in 19th century Paris are vibrantly animated in Christian Borstlap's new short. Commissioned by NOWNESS for the Louis Vuitton Marc Jacobs exhibition that opens at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris on Friday, the film explores the brand's legacy of innovation through Borstlap's charming hand-drawn aesthetic. "We were challenged to showcase the heritage of Louis Vuitton as a piece of moving image but we didn't want a history lesson," explains Faye Mcleod, Louis Vuitton's visual creative director. Divided over two floors, the show analyzes the groundbreaking creativity of two men working a century apart, each of whom propelled fashion forward during eras of great change. While the second floor offers a Technicolor tour of Marc Jacobs's vision since he joined the house in 1997, the first floor examines the story of the brand synonymous with travel and the iconic trunks during Louis Vuitton's lifetime, as well as his surprising start as a packer of ready to wear. "It was a skill knowing how to pack these enormous dresses and all the different items in ladies' wardrobes. Some women traveled with 25 trunks," says Mcleod. The museum's Curator-in-Chief Pamela Golbin spoke to NOWNESS about the genesis of this unique fashion moment.
Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs were both men of their time. How is this expressed in the exhibition?
We used the most [at-the-time] contemporary way of expressing each personality. At the entrance to Louis's floor there's a zoetrope, a 19th century invention that displayed moving image for the first time before film, that playfully shows the woman of that time. To open up Marc's world there is an incredible multimedia display, like a giant Tumblr page, which shows through stills, moving image and objects, what makes up Marc's stylistic vocabulary.
Why is now the right moment for this show?
The idea was definitely not to do a retrospective, because Marc's career is in full swing. Just like contemporary art museums don't wait for an artist to pass away to exhibit their work, this is a mid-career exhibition that brings forth the incredible vocabulary that Marc has established at Louis Vuitton over 15 years.
What is Marc's ultimate contribution to the house of Louis Vuitton?
The brand was founded 143 years ago but there was no ready-to-wear line until 1997. What is so significant about Marc's approach is that he decided not to transform Louis Vuitton and its luxury heritage. On the contrary, he brought a new facet to the brand so now there are two universes that co-exist; there is the long-standing heritage [reflected in the classic luggage line] and there is the fashion aspect that Marc has created over 15 years. These are complimentary, and this is what has made the brand so rich.
How is the antique luggage relevant to visitors today?
We wanted to communicate the experience of traveling 150 years ago and contextualize these objects so that viewers can understand why they were so important at the time. These trunks were so well considered 150 years ago that their designs have stood the test of time. When you see a trunk that opens up and turns into a bed you understand how clever and innovative it was, and how it answered a traveler's needs. Louis Vuitton was such an innovator. He was working with the newest materials at that time and the objects tell that story.

Your babysitting experience could make you stand out to employers in certain areas such as education, childcare or even medical fields.
Babysitting, ringing groceries, waiting tables and selling ice cream; as a college student, most of my jobs had nothing to do with my English degree-in-progress or career goals. Many college students work part-time jobs for the sole reason of earning cash for spending money, paying bills, funding tuition or saving for post-graduate life. Sadly, a lot of jobs for which a nametag or hairnet is standard attire never make it onto a resume because they are seemingly unrelated to students' coursework or employment ambitions.
However, with a little work and some creativity, part-time gigs can bolster a fledgling resume. Below is a list of jobs that are commonly held by college students, and suggestions for how to fit them into your resume for use when applying to real-world jobs.
Retail: Retail is a common choice for college students. Flexible scheduling and merchandise discounts are just some of the perks, but the experience can lend some mileage to a graduate's resume, too. Customer service, scheduling, training new employees, cash management, record keeping and marketing tasks are all great skills that you can show off to prospective employers.
Childcare: While chasing toddlers and changing diapers don't seem to be special skills, babysitting and nannying positions are the ultimate training grounds for students who wish to work in the education, childcare or even medical fields after graduation. Time management, adaptability, emergency preparedness, allergy awareness and knowledge of behavioral issues are common skills that will really stand out to future employers.
Restaurant: Restaurant workers must be fast-paced, think-on-their-feet multitaskers with excellent memories and great people skills. Servers, cooks and hosts have lots to brag about on their resumes, even when they're looking to trade the dining room setting for something more corporate.
RA: RAs are unique among on-campus workers. Charged with upholding a school's reputation and regulations 24/7, RAs are carefully selected and screened, and often the compensation is stellar (room and board plus a stipend). The competition for these positions is fierce. As such, being an RA is very prestigious. It is an especially good idea to highlight leadership experience, program coordination, working under pressure, record-keeping responsibilities and any special RA training received.
Entry administrative: Front-desk jobs and answering phones may not be glamorous or garner much respect, but they do force workers to develop skills that will benefit a future business leader; courtesy, attention to detail and light office management are just a few of the skills that administrative workers develop.
Work study: Many work study positions are great first jobs for students, offering initial exposure to general office procedures and equipment. Filing and faxing, though basic duties, are the building blocks to a successful office presence and are skills that future employers will be grateful they won't need to train you on. Such familiarity is definitely worth mentioning.
It's important to remember that you should tailor your resume and cover letter for each job you apply to. In some cases, that will mean completely eliminating a past position that won't make sense to prospective employers. A summer job as a nanny will make more sense in a resume for a prospective preschool teacher than for someone looking for a job in finance. Before considering whether or not to keep a position listed, determine whether or not it has any relevance or relationship to the prospective employer and how the strengths you cultivated during that experience could be highlighted to fortify your candidacy.

The Ottawa Senators announced on Friday that they have agreed to a one-year contract extension with general manager Bryan Murray.
Murray, who was a former coach of the club, has been the Senators' general manager since June 18, 2007, when he took over from John Muckler shortly after Ottawa lost to the Anaheim Ducks in the Stanley Cup final.
"When I signed originally, I signed for three years plus an option," said Murray on Friday. "It could have been the team's option, or my willingness to stay on and work. I'm not a spring chicken at this point in time by any means, but I feel very comfortable in being able to work for a while longer."
"Bryan has proven that he is the right man to lead this team," Senators owner Eugene Melnyk said in a news release. "Our team is now in a position to not only be competitive each season, but also to contend for the Stanley Cup.
"Bryan and his staff have worked hard to build an organization that now has the depth at the National Hockey League level and in our farm system that should allow us to be competitive for many years to come. As we approach the trade deadline, playoffs and entry draft, we wanted to demonstrate our confidence in Bryan by extending his contract."
Murray also took the opportunity to tell the media that the club would not be trading Anton Volchenkov, who will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, and indicated that the club had already made the defenceman a contract offer.
This season is Murray's 15th as a general manager, after serving four years with the Detroit Red Wings from 1990-94, six-plus seasons with the Florida Panthers from 1994-2000 and two seasons with Anaheim from 2002-04.
Murray is the sixth general manager in the Senators' new era history. The club has a 113-88-23 record under Murray.

Strong quakes rattle remote Antarctica
Two strong earthquakes 40 minutes apart rocked the remote South Orkney Islands in Antarctica on Sunday, experts from the US Geological Survey said.
Two strong earthquakes 40 minutes apart rocked the remote South Orkney Islands in Antarctica on Sunday, experts from the US Geological Survey said.
Australia holds the largest claim to Antarctica but risks losing it in any race to unlock the frozen continent's potentially vast mineral and energy resources, an influential thinktank said Monday.
A Chinese research vessel's escape from pack ice after evacuating 52 people from a Russian ship trapped in Antarctica has shone a spotlight on the Asian power's growing polar ambitions at both ends of the ...
Australia said Monday it will spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a new icebreaker ship to bolster its claim over large areas of Antarctica and replace an ageing vessel.
Across most of Earth, a tourist attraction that sees 35,000 visitors a year can safely be labeled sleepy. But when it's Antarctica, every footstep matters.
China is to build two extra research stations in Antarctica, where it currently has three facilities, the State Oceanic Administration confirmed on Friday.
Japan is looking at building a new base on Antarctica so scientists can study air trapped in ice a million years ago, in a bid to better understand climate change, an official said Monday.
An international team of scientists have published the first continent-wide assessment of the Antarctic's biogeography, and propose that the landmass should be divided into 15 distinct conservation regions ...
(AP) -- The Obama administration is pushing to protect Antarctica's fragile environment by imposing mandatory limits on the size of cruise ships sailing there and the number of passengers they bring ashore.

pendulum One method of divination uses a pendulum. A weight of any kind, the bob, is suspended at the end of a string or chain: crystals, real or fake, are currently popular. The device is held over a map or other object, and various movements of the bob are interpreted in different ways by different operators. Most pendulum swingers say that the bob swings clockwise over a person's right hand and counterclockwise over the left. They say that it swings to and fro over a male's body and in a circular pattern over a female's. But some of them say exactly the opposite.
In this phenomenon, it can always be seen that the subject moves his or her hand to set the pendulum swinging, though this will be vehemently denied. The event is a perfect example of ideomotor reaction. To-and-fro motions and circles are produced, often in answer to questions directed by the dowser at the pendulum itself. The operator speaks to the pendulum. Really.
The bob of the pendulum is often hollow so that diverse substances——solid or liquid——can be retained inside, the idea being that the device with thereby become more sensitive to the contained substance. The French, who dignify the process with by term radioaesthesia, produce a wide selection of screw-together pendulums in various colors made of metal, wood, or plastic.

Harlingen, Texas, April 9, 2011: We all know the old gag line. "What is the difference between Congress and the Boy Scouts?" The answer -- "Boy Scouts have adult leadership." If ever there was a true example of that joke, it can be found filling the leadership ranks in both bodies of Congress.
After playing the "Chicken" game with each other up to the final ticking of the clock triggering a government shutdown, the legislators of this nation finally reached an agreement on how to keep the engine of government running. This did not happen in a logical and thoughtful business-like manner, but came to pass behind the veil of demonizing, name-calling, distortion, plus a trainload of out-and-out lies belched out to the American public. It was a disgusting display of juvenile jabber that is far removed from the type of conduct we expect from our national leadership.
America has already told Congress what it expects of our government. This happened last November in a landmark election. Still, they don't seem to grasp their orders from the people.... Stop Spending!
This message was sent to everyone in national government. The citizenry knows both parties are to blame for the fiscal mess we all must now suffer our way through to some form of resolution. The Democrats are responsible for the largest deficit in our more than two centuries of existence. The Republicans are responsible for the second highest deficit in our history. So, nobody can claim clean hands while attempting to deal with our serious debt.
In March 2011 alone we increased our national debt by $65 billion more than we had the previous year. This means the small change $38 billion in budget cuts everyone in Washington is bragging about today is still $27 billion short of the debt we incurred for just this past month.
Most of us manage to live within our means. When my wife and I started our lives together I was a $110 a month Marine Corporal. She was a $125 a month bank teller. For some time we both held down extra jobs just to make our finances end up in the black each month. I worked at night selling television sets. She was an usher in a movie theater. We had an old used car, went without meat for dinner several nights a week, bought day old bread at the bakery and had no entertainment that had a price tag attached to admission. We saved a few dollars and we never ran a deficit budget. That was our life and it was how millions of level-headed families conducted their business then...and today.
These same Americans who cut expenses and try to advance themselves through wise spending and thrifty utilization of their personal wealth, are also the people who bankroll a place called the United States of America. They are the same people who send individuals to Congress with the expectation that this is still a representative government and those elected officials will be diligent in their pursuit of keeping the cost of governance within the means of the national purse.
Instead of displaying the diligence expected by those voters who placed them in positions of power, our members of Congress have treated us to massive over-spending, financial mismanagement and hateful language directed at their opponents to explain their malfeasance. Now they congratulate themselves on slashing pennies from a budget deficit that will make paupers of our grandchildren and try to imply they are responsible leaders. As my mother used to say... Balderdash!

Its obvious we need to reform the tax system and cut entitlements. Unfortunately you lose elections trying to cut entitlements, but we cant afford them.
I can save us TONS of money by just tightening up the rules on entitlements. Social Security disability is BS- get rid of it. Medicaid? Gone. Widows benefits- sorry, they do sell life insurance.
You get benefits when you reach retirement age, if youve contributed- all these exceptions are insane. Weve created a welfare state. We have to charge taxes to everyone, incent everyone to be productive by plucking them off the government nipple.

Even with entirely justifiable concern over his health, considering he has played just 99 of 212 regular season games over the last three seasons, Sidney Crosby is the player I've projected to finish atop the NHL scoring race in 2013-2014.
Last season, Crosby was in the lead when he suffered a broken jaw, costing him the last 12 games of the regular season and he finished four points behind Tampa Bay's Martin St. Louis, who finished with 60 points in 48 games.
If there is a positive to be taken from the injury that shortened Crosby's 2013 campaign, it's that his injury was a broken jaw and not additional concussion troubles that have plagued him in previous seasons. If that means that Crosby might, possibly, be a little further removed from his latest concussion, then that could provide some reason to be optimistic about his health going into this season.
Of course, when a player misses 113 of 212 games, any optimism over health needs to be tempered, but even with Crosby projected to play 64 games, his 102-point projection is good enough to rank at the top, ahead of St. Louis and St. Louis' centre, Steven Stamkos.
Though he's only led the league in scoring once, in 2006-2007, over the last three seasons, Crosby has scored 159 points in 99 games, his 1.61 points per game far-and-away the best in the league. His teammate, Evgeni Malkin, ranks second at 1.20 points per game, in that time frame.
While Crosby is the pick at the top of the scoring race, when it comes to position-by-position Fantasy rankings, Steven Stamkos gets the nod at centre, for his off-the-charts goal-scoring and the fact that he's been much, much healthier than Crosby.
In the last three years, Stamkos has 134 goals, 32 more than Alex Ovechkin and Corey Perry, who are tied for second. Injuries are unpredictable and, given the nature of the game, can hit a player at any time, but it sure feels safer to peg Stamkos at the top of the centre rankings when he's missed only three games in five NHL seasons (and they were all in his rookie year).
Other position leaders in the Fantasy Projections (which incorporate goals, assists, plus-minus, power play points, hits and shots on goal) include Ovechkin at right wing, Daniel Sedin on left wing, Erik Karlsson on defence and Henrik Lundqvist in goal.
This is just the beginning of TSN's Fantasy Hockey coverage for this season, as we prepare to launch the Fantasy Hockey League Manager and I'll have many more articles and updated rankings in preparation for October 1, when the puck drops on the 2013-2014 NHL regular season.

Keeping the Faith
I remember 9-11

I was in the hardware store when I first heard the news, though I did not know what I was hearing. As the cashier tallied my purchase, I overheard a reporter on the store's radio make the peculiar announcement that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. At the time, I thought of it as little more than a curiosity. How wrong I was.
It's been 10 years since that September morning, and still I can recall the horror and heroics of that day. The pancaking towers, the daring and duty-bound firefighters, the dust-soaked city of New York, and the ash-covered-walking-wounded, stumbling like ghosts through Manhattan.
Each September since 9/11, when the proper and solemn remembrance ceremonies begin, I am tempted to believe the now faded bumper stickers that were so common in the months following the tragedy: The stickers read, "We Will Never Forget." Not true. We will forget.
No, those who lived in the cities directly attacked will never forget. Those who huddled around television sets as bewildered and confused witnesses will never forget. And of course, those who buried their loved ones murdered in the attacks would easier forget their own names as forget that Tuesday morning.
But those following us will forget. They are not calloused or forgetful. They are simply too young. Most of the students who entered college this fall were in elementary school ten years ago, and many of this generation (including my own children), were even younger or not yet born.
This is more than a generation that thinks Starbucks and cell phones were created shortly after Adam and Eve; that can text eighty words a minute, but can't write in cursive; that has never known the limitation of having only three network television channels, and can't imagine life without Google and YouTube. This is a generation that will come to maturity in the shadow of a dreadful event not even in their collective memory.
Yes, I want my children (and the generations to come) to remember and reflect upon these events. I want them to forever hold in their memory the suffering and injustice of that day and the days that have followed. But I do not want them to cloud their memories with the notion that the "world was changed forever on 9/11," for it was not.
Violence, retaliation, the suffering of the innocent, and the struggle for power have been around for all of human history. 9/11, rather than changing that status quo, was another brutal, heart-rending chapter in the same narrative. To say that 9/11 is the defining, irreversible mark on human history is to give evil and injustice far too much credit; and for followers of Jesus to say such a thing, it is a loss faith.
Consider, that whenever Christians gather, they gather to remember, celebrate, and hopefully integrate into their lives a profound event from the past, an event to which the Eucharist and the Creeds point: "Jesus Christ was crucified, dead, and was buried; but on the third day he rose again."
Our faith informs us that Jesus took all the hate, evil, retaliation, death, and rejection the world could muster, and when the world had done its worst, he responded with his best. He overcame all of these with resurrected life, goodness, and hope. This is the defining event of our past, the memory we will never forget, and the trajectory for our future.
Yes, I will bow my head and say a prayer for those taken away from us a decade ago. I will give thanks for the rescue workers, the firefighters, and those who tried to save and serve the hurt and dying. I will ask God to assuage the sorrow of the families and friends left to grieve.
But when I am finished praying, I will work for peace; I will seek to overcome evil with good; I will pursue the example of Jesus; and I will teach my children to remember properly. Remember that grace, not hate, will have the final word.

Standby power is the term commonly used to describe the low power mode(s) which many electrical and electronic products use when not performing their "usual" operation but when still connected to a power supply. The consumption of small amounts of power in this mode has becoming ubiquitous in appliances and equipment as electronic controls become standard and, in most countries, there is evidence that energy consumption by products in standby mode is increasing in some product types.
Since the issue became apparent more than a decade ago, the subject has attracted significant attention and as a result, policies have been developed in a number of markets to tackle excessive standby. However, the understanding of trends in standby power at an individual product level as well as the overall energy consumption trend remains poor. This lack of information is hampering effective policy development to address the issue.
Thus, despite commendable efforts, there are some limitations in the current policy approaches in terms of ensuring that excessive standby power is adequately tackled into the future for all future product types and their associated functions. These limitations are generally understood and acknowledged, and as a response, various countries are conducting studies to examine specific aspects of standby and issues such as networked products. The Standby Power Annex, using current work as a foundation, will further develop an understanding of the technical and policy issues and in doing so, provide a vehicle through which better global policy outcomes for standby can be developed.
To monitor and report the extent of, and changes in, energy consumption by electrical appliances in low-power modes (standby power); and support the development of policies which seek to minimise excessive energy consumption by products in standby power modes.
Tracking of the current and future consumption by products when in standby, and the aggregate associated current and projected consumption at the national/international level;
Tracking of the impact of policy actions on standby within the marketplace.

I'm probably the only person left who hadn't tried out ice cube coffee. The concept is simply enough: brew some really strong coffee, let it cool, pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze it to use in homemade ice coffee or fancy treats. This morning I made an easy Mocha Chip Frappe by blending together: 4 coffee ice cubes, 2 scoops chocolate ice cream, a small handful of chocolate chips and 1/3 cup milk. Next I'm going to try a vanilla version with caramel! Do you like making your own homemade coffee treats? Have a favorite you'd like to share? xo. Emma

Police are searching for the suspect who sexually assaulted a woman and stole her cell phone so that she couldn't call for help.
Authorities have surveillance video that shows the suspect dragging the victim into a Brooklyn alley, where he raped her and stole her phone so that she couldn't call anyone.
The suspect approached the 22-year-old victim around 9:45 a.m. Saturday near East 27th Street and Glenwood Road in the Midwood section. The suspect then forced the victim to walk through a building alley, where he assaulted her, according to police.
The crime took place about a block from Brooklyn College. The suspect told the victim he had a gun, but she never saw one.
The suspect also took the woman's cell phone and can be seen throwing what appears to be the phone over a cement wall moments after the attack.
The suspect is a Black man believed to be in his mid-20s, about 5'6" – 5'7" with a medium build and a bald head. He was last seen wearing a dark gray jacket, a white t-shirt, jeans and a blue New York Yankees cap.
Anyone with information in regards is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).

You remember how it was. Compliments, excitement, adoration, gifts, trips and fun. Now those are fewer and fewer and the anger is more often. You brace yourself when you go home. You never know what to expect.
Your partner tells you their goal in arguing is understanding, resolution or compromise, but their words are shaming, blaming and said with the express intention of changing your perception to theirs. The conversation becomes circular always coming back to what you did wrong. You're probably in an emotionally abusive relationship.
The goal of verbal abuse is one-upmanship, control and humiliation not real compromise or understanding. Often an abused partner will spend inordinate energy and time trying to explain their ideas and motives to the abuser, only to be met with disqualifications and humiliation. If someone is scolding you for not loving them correctly or telling you that you are responsible for their anger, loneliness, rage, or behavior you are experiencing emotional abuse.
No one can shame another person into loving them or feeling emotionally safe. An abuser is not after intimacy or transparency, they are trying to get undivided emotionally charged attention from you. They want your undivided attention, control and for you to subjugate yourself to their perceptions.
Abusers accuse and shame. They don't take responsibility for their own feelings, outbursts or threats.
They don't exhibit real curiosity for others' emotions or hopes. They do not show respect for ideas differing from their own.
They are unable to clam themselves down when upset and take their frustrations about life out on those close to them. Their own reality and perceptions are the only "right" ones. Black and white thinking is a sign of low psychological sophistication and immaturity. This all or none approach to life is often targeted at those nearest the abuser.
Situations (things that happen, things others do) reveal a person (expose their motives/feelings, what they are capable of, etc.) circumstances don't make a person (mad, sad, retaliatory, aggressive, blaming, etc.). Circumstances do not dictate how a person will respond, they are opportunities that expose what is really inside a person. An abuser will tell a partner that he/she is responsible (or work, finances, relatives or other drivers are responsible) for the abuser's reactions, feelings and acting out behaviors. This is as mature as a child telling a sibling across the table, "You looked at me and made me spill my milk!"
Adults are responsible to develop self-soothing activities (hobbies, friends, creative outlets, physical exercises, relaxation techniques, etc.) to handle uncomfortable feelings. Abusers do not take responsibility for their uncomfortable feelings, they blame the person closest to them who is often trying to make the relationship work by acquiescing and not making waves.
Victims of abuse often become depressed and/or anxious. They try over and over to use compromise, explanations and avoidance to please the abuser. This only leads to the abuse victim feeling invisible, alienated, helpless and often out of touch with what they feel, want and believe. The victim's attention becomes more and more focused on what the abuser feels, what the abuser wants or the beliefs held by the emotionally abusive partner.
Once this painful pattern is recognized it can take a lot of time and effort to reclaim the lost aspects of oneself. If you feel you may be the victim of emotional abuse begin by being gentle with yourself. Say kind things to yourself. You didn't get into this situation over night and it may take some time to change it.
Begin by learning to identify abuse.
Abusers say things like:
"If you were really sorry you wouldn't have done it in the first place."
"Your apology wasn't sincere."
"I do everything for you, what do you do for me?"
"You're so gullible/naive."
"I didn't mean anything by it. Why can't you just take a joke?"
"That's not what I meant. Can't you ever listen? I love you more than anyone ever will."
"You don't understand love, you came from a dysfunctional family."
"Your'e going to wear that!?"
"If you don't understand (behave) I'm just going to leave."
"You're just trying to make me mad, aren't you?"
"Women are to subjugate themselves to their husband in all ways."
"Husbands have to love their wives."
"Your friends wouldn't talk to you if they knew how you really are."
"Why are you so defensive all the time? You always think I'm mad when I'm not."
"You're always making excuses. I don't care what you meant to do, it's what you do that matters."
"No one else is going to love you/do for you what I do."
"Don't walk away from me I'm not done talking." (This can go on into early hours of the morning.)
"You know what you did."
"You can't support yourself. I put up with you. How do you make my life better?"
"If you leave I will take the kids away."
"You know what you did (years ago) and you deserve what you get."
If you think you may be in an emotionally abusive relationship gather as much information as you can. Breaking free of emotional, verbal, financial or physical abuse is very difficult. Surround yourself with friends and family who are caring and see you for the wonderful person you are. Develop a sense of yourself. Don't isolate. Follow your dreams. Join groups of positive inspirational people. Take care of yourself physically, eat and sleep well. Give yourself credit everyday for the things you accomplish. Remember you are responsible for handling your feelings and your partner is responsible to handle theirs. Individual therapy and group support can be helpful.

Winter Party Festival draws record attendance
Roberta Sklar, Communications Director
(Office) 646.358.1465
(Cell) 917.704.6358
LGBT festival draws huge crowds and awareness of Task Force work
MIAMI, March 19 — The 2008 Winter Party Festival was an extraordinary success with record attendance at its signature event, the 15th Annual Beach Party. Held from Feb. 23 to March 3, this year's festival drew more than 10,000 total attendees across more than two dozen events. Produced by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, it featured an expanded lineup of cultural events and programming for specific segments of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community as well as world-class dance events at some of the most popular nightclubs in South Beach and Miami. The festival culminated in the famous Winter Party Beach Party, which attracted approximately 6,000 guests. The increase in attendance was fueled by significantly more attendees from Western Europe and the United Kingdom.
In May, when final reconciliations are competed, the Task Force will donate two-thirds of the festival's proceeds to the Dade Community Foundation to support LGBT organizations in Miami-Dade, with the remaining one-third going to support the Task Force's actions nationwide.
"We're proud to be continuing to grow the Winter Party Festival into a world-class event that draws guests from around the globe and remains 100 percent of, by and for the LGBT community," said Executive Director Matt Foreman. "The broad program of events demonstrates our commitment to inclusion and diversity as well as raising awareness of the valuable work of the Task Force in communities across America."
This year's lineup included new events for women, a dinner dance for the transgender community, an art exhibit, a gathering for youth, another for people of faith, and a family picnic. Record-breaking highlights include more than 450 guests at the Showtime Departure Lounge event, 2,700 attendees at the Doubletree Surfcomber pool party, 2,000 spectators at Winter Party Runway, a fashion show sponsored by aussieBum, and more than 60 journalists from countries as far afield as Turkey, France, Ireland, Germany, Brazil and the U.K.
To support the organization's pro-LGBT actions, Task Force field organizers identified nearly 3,000 people interested in helping defeat the anti-marriage constitutional amendment that will be on November's Florida ballot, and staff from the Movement Building department pushed a healthy safer-sex message.

The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the grassroots power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. We do this by training activists, equipping state and local organizations with the skills needed to organize broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all.

My question is related to the base of cosmology science and theories.
If all what we know about cosmology science is based on our observation from sky and whatever we observe goes back to thousand and million and billion years ago, how can we be sure about some theories like universe expansion. Maybe universe is back to contraction as we talking now?

Jan 5 2014: Fortunately, there may be far more to learn than what we have learnt so far, or at least deduced, inferred or concluded. Much of what is yet to unfold may seriously undermine our past and present thinking, but one thing is likely: some day our party may be over, but the road, most likely, will never end.

Jimmy Strobl 50+Jan 6 2014: There will always be more to learn, but for me there's no reason to believe in things that I don't have significant evidence to believe in.
Usually when people say that there's more to learn they think (not saying that you are doing this Don) that they have the answers and that people should listen to them and not the "close-minded sciences". What they often don't understand is that science is always looking to prove itself wrong. If someone would provide proof against the Theory of Relativity or Evolution a Nobel prize and instant fame is theirs.
We can choose to believe in whatever but it does not make it true, and there's a real danger in thinking that you know better (again not saying you do this Don) then the smartest people in each scientific field, that people criticizing often have a very limited understanding of.

Do you have a home project like a home theater or multiroom audio system installation in mind? A new study by CEDIA (Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association) and prepared by research firm Parks Associates shows the hot trends in custom installation, as well as some emerging technologies you may want to consider for your home.
Some 770 custom electronics (CE) pros, electricians, IT (information technology) and security specialists were surveyed on the types of projects they perform, the cost of those projects, and the projects they expect to do in the next two years. Key findings were unveiled at the CEDIA Expo in Indianapolis.
Retrofit is red hot—73 percent of projects from custom electronics (CE) pros are in existing homes, up from about 50 percent in 2007, before the real estate crash.
Entertainment still rules—Home theater and multiroom (or distributed) audio systems remain the most popular installations, followed by video distribution and media rooms. Home control systems rank a close fifth. The average cost of a home theater install is about $20,000, while the average audio system cost is $11,000.
So does mobile device control—90 percent of CE pros are integrating at least one mobile device, like an iPhone or iPad, in home control installations. Of that 90 percent, 33 percent say the mobile device is being used as the primary control. Some 86 percent of them offer docking stations as well.
Get out—Outdoor entertainment systems and home networking are hot, with respondents saying installs are up about 40 percent for each.
Efficiency will grow—Energy management systems that allow people to be more efficient is poised to be an area of growth, with more respondents reporting they plan to offer energy management or monitoring, climate controls and motorized window treatments that can help lower heating and cooling costs, than almost every other category.
High-tech health is next—Digital home health care will also be offered, but energy management systems appear to be further along.

PIERRE, S.D. – Gov. Dennis Daugaard has requested a Presidential Disaster Declaration to help South Dakota recover from a late-May weather pattern that produced severe thunderstorms, a tornado and flooding.
The request is for public assistance in five counties, including part of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Preliminary assessments show that the series of storms from May 24 through May 31 brought heavy rainfall and flash flooding that caused damages to public property estimated at more than $1.4 million.
Rushing water from the rainfall created an immediate public health and safety threat with some roads, bridges and culverts washed out and debris covering other roadways in four counties. A tornado of EF-1 magnitude that struck the small Pine Ridge Indian Reservation community of Allen in Bennett County destroyed three tribal homes, damaged seven others and damaged a church that serves as the epicenter of community functions in the tribal village. The damage occurred in Lincoln, Union, Lawrence, Corson and Bennett counties.
In a letter to President Barack Obama, Gov. Daugaard said Lincoln County was especially hard hit, with more than 10 inches of rain over two days in Harrisburg. "Streets were flooded, and the elementary school had water inundating the hallways and gymnasium,'' Gov. Daugaard said. He also reminded the President that South Dakota is still recovering from a record seven presidentially declared disasters in 2010 and the devastating 2011 Missouri River flooding, as well as an April, 2013, ice and snow storm that resulted in a presidential disaster declaration.
The Standing Rock Indian Reservation, which encompasses counties on both sides of the North Dakota-South Dakota border, requested its own presidential disaster declaration on June 18 for damages caused by the late-May storm system. About $800,000 of the estimated $1.2 million in damages occurred on reservation land on the South Dakota side of the state border.
"The state did not include their damage in this request,'' the Governor said. "However, it should be recognized that both this disaster request and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's request should be viewed together to understand the full impact to the entire state.''
The request is a necessary step for federal disaster funds to be made available to South Dakota. If the President grants the declaration, up to 75 percent of eligible costs could be reimbursed by the federal government. The Governor's request does not guarantee federal funding will be made available to South Dakota. The Federal Emergency Management Agency participated earlier this week in the preliminary damage assessments.

UNC Softball Squad Drops a Pair of Extra-Inning Contests at Regis
Box Score - Game 1 | Box Score - Game 2
DENVER, Colo. -- The University of Northern Colorado softball team fell victim to a pair of late-inning rallies from the host Regis Rangers on Thursday afternoon. The Rangers scored a pair of extra-inning wins at UNC's expense. Regis won game one, 7-6, and then took game two, 5-4.
The Bears' Whitney Platten did everything she could do at the plate and set a UNC single-game record with five hits in five at-bats.
Platten guided the Bears to a 4-2 advantage heading into the bottom of the seventh inning. However, the Bears could not stop the Rangers and Regis posted two runs to force extra innings.
Still the Bears appeared to be in good shape by plating two runs in the top of the ninth to take a 6-4 lead into the bottom of the ninth.
But the Rangers would not be denied and rallied for two runs off of starter Stephani Miller to tie the game at 6-6. UNC reliever Danelle Sayler could not slow down the Rangers' offense. Sayler gave up a bases loaded single with two outs in the ninth to allow the Rangers to take the contest.
Platten was also credited with two RBI in the contest to tie for the team lead with senior transfer Brooke Boyer. Boyer netted two hits and Nicole Martinez also tallied two base knocks.
Sayler dropped to 0-6 with the loss.
The Bears tried to forget about game one and moved onto game two where the UNC squad took a 3-1 lead into the bottom of the seventh.
However, just like game one, the Rangers rallied for a pair of runs off starter Stacey Moon to knot the game at 3-3 and force extra innings.
UNC added a single run in the top of the eighth on back-to-back doubles from Stephani Miller and Erin Peterson. But the Rangers refused to give the Bears any ground and rallied again with a single run to force the game into the ninth inning.
The Rangers stymied the Bears in the top of the ninth and had a chance to win the game in the bottom stanza. Regis was able to get a run off UNC reliever Danelle Sayler in the ninth with a one-out single that plated the winning run.
UNC's offense was led by Miller (2-3, 3 runs, 1 RBI) and Peterson (2-4, 2 RBI, 1 run). Sayler took the loss to drop to 0-7 on the season.
NOTES: The Bears will now travel to Colorado State next Tuesday for a doubleheader with the Rams at 1 p.m. in Fort Collins ... Peterson extended her hitting streak to eight straight games with hits in both ends of the doubleheader ... Regis extended its winning streak over the Bears to six straight contests ... With the two losses, UNC dropped to 4-17 on the season ... Regis moved to 18-10 on the year.

The Department of Justice and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) signed an agreement today to strengthen coordination on fair lending enforcement and avoid duplication of their respective federal law enforcement efforts.
"The Department of Justice welcomes the new tools and resources the CFPB can bring to the fight against lending discrimination," said Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. "Cooperation between our two agencies promotes strong and effective civil rights enforcement, and today's agreement will further our ongoing collaborative efforts."
"Discrimination undermines equal access to credit," said Richard Cordray, Director of the CFPB. "Today's agreement is a critical step to better protecting consumers from illegal and discriminatory lending practices. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Justice Department under this new framework."
The memorandum of understanding (MOU) can be found at: http://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/201212_cfpb_doj-fair-lending-mou.pdf.
Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the CFPB works with the department and other regulators to promote consistent, efficient and effective enforcement of federal fair lending laws. The Dodd-Frank Act also expressly authorizes the CFPB to conduct joint investigations with the department in matters relating to fair lending.
Both the CFPB and the Justice Department have authority to protect against discriminatory lending under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA). The ECOA makes it illegal for creditors to discriminate against applicants in credit transactions because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, income coming from a public assistance program or an applicant's exercise of certain consumer protection rights.
The department has the authority to bring federal lawsuits to enforce the ECOA against any creditor that engages in a pattern or practice in violation of the ECOA or based on referrals of ECOA violations from federal bank regulators including the CFPB. The CFPB is authorized to bring public enforcement actions against any person subject to the CFPB's supervisory or enforcement authority for violations of the ECOA. The CFPB is also required to refer certain violations of the ECOA to the department for possible enforcement actions.
The agencies are committed to cooperation and avoiding duplicative efforts. Today's MOU outlines the general framework for:
The agencies will periodically assess the implementation of this agreement and are committed to finding ways to further strengthen their coordination efforts.
The CFPB's Office of Fair Lending and Equal Opportunity, together with the bureau's Office of Enforcement, leads the bureau's enforcement of fair lending laws, including the ECOA and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA). Today, the CFPB published its first annual Fair Lending Report, which highlights the Bureau's recent accomplishments in fair lending. The report discusses the bureau's efforts to fulfill its mandate to ensure fair, equitable, and nondiscriminatory access to credit for American consumers. Additionally, the report fulfills the Bureau's congressional reporting requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act, the ECOA and HMDA.
A copy of this report is available at: http://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/201212_cfpb_fair-lending-report.pdf
The Justice Department's enforcement of fair lending laws is conducted by the Fair Lending Unit of the Housing and Civil Enforcement Section in the Civil Right Division. Since the Fair Lending Unit was established in February 2010, it has filed or resolved 22 lending matters under the Fair Housing Act, the ECOA and the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. The settlements in these matters provide for a minimum of $500 million in monetary relief for more than 300,000 individual borrowers. The attorney general's annual reports to Congress subject to the ECOA highlight the department's accomplishments in fair lending and are available at www.justice.gov/crt/publications/ .
The fair lending enforcement work of the CFPB and the Justice Department is part of efforts underway by the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force (FFETF) which was created to wage an aggressive, coordinated and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. The CFPB and the department's Civil Rights Division are among the co-chairs of the FFETF's Non-Discrimination Working Group. With more than 20 federal agencies, 94 U.S. attorneys' offices and state and local partners, it's the broadest coalition of law enforcement, investigatory and regulatory agencies ever assembled to combat fraud. The task force has established financial fraud coordinators in every U.S. attorney's office around the country to help make these broad mandates a reality on the ground. Since its formation, the task force has made great strides in facilitating increased investigation and prosecution of financial crimes; enhancing coordination and cooperation among federal, state and local authorities; addressing discrimination in the lending and financial markets and conducting outreach to the public, victims, financial institutions and other organizations.

Is it any at all possible that a van could have a higher top speed than most sports cars you see around the streets these days?
Normally, a question like that would be treated with such ridicule that it's not even sane to ask something like it. But when you're dealing with a German tuner like MTM , then things like this become not only possible, but real in every sense of the word.
In addition to the modified Q3 MTM is bringing to the 2012 Geneva Motor Show , they've also prepared a heavily tuned Volkswagen T5. Despite being classified as a van, the MTM-tuned T5 doesn't perform like one.
All that is due to a ridiculously modified 2.5-liter inline-five engine that is able to crank out an impressive 470 horsepower at 6,900rpm and 461 lb/ft of peak torque at 4,100rpm. Thanks to the upgrades, the T5 is now capable of hitting a maximum top speed of 174 mph. Pretty crazy, right?
Apart from the performance modifications, the T5 also gets the benefit of new components added in by MTM, including the same three-tone vinyl wrap that honors the colors of the German national flag. MTM also fitted in a new set of 20" Bimoto rims wrapped in Michelin Supersport tires.
About the only thing that made us cringe with this program is the astronomical cost of one. According to MTM, their program for the Volkswagen T5 will cost €160,000 or about to US$215,000 based on current exchange rates.
