The Modernization theory, which since the 1950's has remained a major framework of analysis of the problems of Third world societies, provides no explanation of underdevelopment per se. The core idea in Modernization is that underdevelopment in the Third World can be avoided through the development of capitalistic type of societies. But this significant assertion is not backed by any systematic analysis of the structure and dynamism of the system of capitalism itself. The Modernization theory has failed to integrate an analysis of underdevelopment within its explanatory domain because of its theoretical reliance on the ahistorical assumptions of the Structural-Functional model. The Dependency theory, on the other hand, by looking at the historical development of capitalism as a world system and attempting to locate some of the structural contradictions of capitalism as a system of economy, has opened up some significant possibilities for developing theories about underdevelopment. By making capitalism as a referent point of analysis, the Dependency theory has made it possible to look at development as a dynamic process and underdevelopment as a problem of transition between pre-capitalist and capitalist societies. Our study of colonial Bengal suggests that the assumptions of the Dependency theory have greater explanatory power.

Interactions between beta-catenin and LEF-1/TCF, APC and conductin/axin are essential for wnt-controlled stabilization of beta-catenin and transcriptional activation. The wnt signal transduction pathway is important in both embryonic development and tumor progression. We identify here amino acid residues in beta-catenin that distinctly affect its binding to LEF-1/TCF, APC and conductin. These residues form separate surface clusters, termed hot spots, along the armadillo superhelix of beta-catenin. We also show that complementary charged and hydrophobic amino acids are required for formation of the bipartite beta-catenin-LEF-1 transcription factor. Moreover, we demonstrate that conductin/axin binding to beta-catenin is essential for beta-catenin degradation, and that APC acts as a cofactor of conductin/axin in this process. Binding of APC to conductin/axin activates the latter and occurs between their SAMP and RGS domains, respectively.

Skip Navigation | For immediate assistance call the National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-HOPE
Jump to a section on this page
Sexual violence is never the victim's fault. It doesn't matter where you were, the time of day, what you were wearing, or if you were drinking – sex without consent is rape. Most sexual assaults are committed by someone known to the victim. Rape is a crime of power and control.
Any form of sexual violence can be a traumatic experience. It will be important for you to address emotional trauma in addition to any physical injuries resulting from an assault. Although the following information may answer many questions you may have, please utilize the free and confidential services of an advocate from the rape crisis center in your area by calling 1-800-656-HOPE.
Victim support and advocacy may be needed at many different stages, from immediately after the crime occurs to days, weeks, or even months or years later.
A victim advocate from a local rape crisis center can provide free and confidential information, referrals and emotional support after a sexual assault. These services include helping you identify any immediate concerns related to your safety and medical care, as well as support at the hospital during a forensic medical exam and throughout any criminal justice proceedings. An advocate's role is to provide information (on such issues as preserving evidence, reporting options, the forensic medical examinations, HIV risk, etc.) so that you can make informed decisions and to support you in those decisions. Additionally, an advocate can connect you with other services, including support groups and supportive resources for close friends and family members.1
Again, these services are free and confidential and can be accessed 24/7.
Safety planning is a thoughtful, deliberate process in which an advocate and a victim together create a plan to enhance safety for the victim. Each victim's circumstances, safety needs and concerns are unique.
If you feel that you are in imminent danger:
If you feel unsafe and are not in imminent danger:
If you were physically injured from the assault, seek medical assistance. Sometimes injuries are not visible, so it is best to seek treatment if you are unsure. While the risk of pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDs from a sexual assault is low, these are major concerns that a health care professional can help you address. You may be eligible for compensation for any medical expenses incurred if the assault is reported to law enforcement within 72 hours after it occurred. (See Crime Victim Compensation Fund information below.)
In addition to possibly requiring medical attention for injuries and addressing other health concerns after a sexual assault, there may be evidence on your body that could be collected and information that could be gathered about the assault if you are considering reporting the assault to law enforcement. Since your body is the actual crime scene and evidence is time-sensitive, it may only be present until you bathe, wash and/or urinate.
The purpose of the sexual assault forensic medical exam is to assess your health care needs and to collect evidence for potential use during case investigation and prosecution.6
An examination by a health care provider is still recommended even if:
In West Virginia there is no statute of limitations on sexual assault – meaning that 5, 10, or even 50 years later a case could be prosecuted. But there is a limit on how long evidence may remain on the body. Today you may feel that you don't want to get your offender in trouble, that it was somehow your fault (but remember the victim is never at fault!), that you just want to get on with your life and therefore do not want to have a forensic medical exam. However, you may feel differently next week or even next year. In West Virginia, you can have a forensic medical exam without reporting the assault to law enforcement (as long as you are not a minor or an adult who has been deemed by the courts as incapacitated). Evidence will be collected and stored, giving you additional time to consider your options. Advocates and law enforcement officers can assist you if you later decide to initiate a criminal investigation of the assault.
Sex crime evidence collection kits collected as part of investigations will be sent to the West Virginia State Police Forensic Lab for processing.
Sex crime evidence collection kits collected from victims who choose not to report the assault to law enforcement will be sent to Marshall University Forensic Science Center, where the collected evidence will be stored for potential future use. It is important to note that if liquid samples were collected as a part of the toxicology kit (blood and urine), the samples will have a limited life span and will degrade over time. All samples collected as a part of the rest of the examination (swabs, etc) will have an unlimited lifespan if collected and dried properly.
Should the decision be made later to initiate an investigation in a non-reported case, you would need to contact law enforcement and provide the kit tracking number for law enforcement to be able to secure the sex crime evidence collection kit from MUFSC.
If an investigation has not been initiated within 18 months from its time of collection, the evidence collection kit will be categorized as "non-active." Samples collected as part of the forensic medical examination in "non-active" kits may be used for training purposes once all identifying information has been removed. After the 18 month time period, if the "non-active" sex crime evidence collection kit has not been used for training purposes, a victim can still request that an investigation be initiated. There is no statute of limitations on reporting a sexual assault in West Virginia.
The exam usually should take place at a licensed medical facility (e.g., hospital Emergency Department) within about 96 hours of the assault and would include:
There is no cost for a forensic medical exam. Licensed medical facilities only charge for any medical treatment you may receive. (See the Forensic Medical Examination section of the website for additional information.)
Forensic nurses (including Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners or SANEs) as well as law enforcement officers are specially trained in collecting evidence. Depending on what occurred during the assault, the DNA of your offender might be obtained from a variety of sources, from body hair, saliva, bite marks, semen or vaginal discharge, debris under your fingernails, etc.
To preserve evidence, it is best to go to the hospital in the clothing you were wearing at the time of the assault and refrain from bathing, brushing your teeth, washing your hands, and urinating/defecating.
If you believed that you were drugged, the collection of the first voided urine should be collected and taken with you to the hospital. Traces of the drug may remain in your blood or urine. (See the Drug Facilitated Sexual Assault section of the website for additional information.) Take a change of clothing with you in case your clothes are kept to test for DNA evidence.
Reporting a sexual assault to law enforcement initiates a criminal investigation. The local prosecuting attorney makes the final decision regarding what charges, if any, to bring against an offender.
There is no statute of limitations on reporting sexual assault in West Virginia. Although reports can be made at any time, evidence may be destroyed or deteriorate over time. Victims who have had a forensic medical exam but did not initially report the assault to law enforcement may still be able to initiate an investigation months or years later (see above section on the Forensic Medical Exam) by contacting law enforcement. But to qualify for payment of any medical or other expenses incurred, the assault usually needs to have been reported to law enforcement within 72 hours. (See section below on Crime Victims Compensation Fund.)
The West Virginia Crime Victims Compensation Fund provides compensation to victims of crime who have suffered personal injury and have incurred out-of-pocket losses as a result of a criminal act.
West Virginia residents are eligible to file a claim with the Crime Victims Compensation Fund if they are: victims of a crime that caused personal injury and out-of-pocket losses; dependents of a deceased victim of a crime; victims of terrorism overseas; or victims of crime in another state that does not have a compensation program. To be eligible, the crime must be reported to law enforcement within 72 hours (with possible exceptions). The victim must document expenses from the injury inflicted by the crime and fully cooperate with law enforcement. A claim must be filed within two years.
To file a claim, an application must be completed and submitted to the Crime Victims Compensation Fund. There is no fee to file and an attorney is not required. Victim advocates at rape crisis centers are trained to assist victims in filing claims.
Once a claim has been filed, a claim investigator reviews the case, creates a Finding of Fact and Recommendation (FFR) and sends a copy to the victim. The victim may file a response to the FFR within 30 days. A judge then reviews the FFR, all case documents and the victim's response, if any, and makes a decision. A copy of the decision is sent to the victim. If the victim or claim investigator disagrees with the decision, they have 30 days to file an appeal. The case will then be transferred to another judge and the victim has 21 days to request a hearing. At the hearing, the victim and other parties may have the opportunity to testify and initial findings are discussed. The court then determines if there is sufficient evidence to award the victim benefits or if the claim will be denied.
Sexual assault victims can have a forensic medical exam conducted without immediately reporting the crime to law enforcement. If they choose not to report, they will probably not be eligible for compensation through the Crime Victims Compensation Fund. Because there is no statute of limitations on sexual assault, they can later report the crime to law enforcement. If they then file a claim and a judge finds that the victim can provide good cause as to why there was a delay in reporting past the 72 hour eligibility time period, the claim could be approved. The determination is left to the discretion of the judge under the parameters of the state statute.8
Sexual assault affects not only the victim, but also family and friends. Family members and friends often struggle to help their loved one deal with the effects of the assault because of their own struggle with what has happened.
It is critical for victims that the people they talk to about the assault show that they believe them. Provide comfort and support. Listen without judging; try not to interrupt or ask a lot of questions. Let them make the decisions, and be supportive of those decisions. Without the victim's permission, do not tell others what happened. Remind them that it was not their fault.
Let them know that whatever they did to prevent further harm was the right thing to do. Encourage them to talk about the assault(s) with an advocate, mental health professional or someone they trust. Remember that healing takes time; be patient and supportive for as long as it takes.

Lincoln Financial to offer iGO e-App for Term and UL and Electronic Policy Delivery.
Karen Nixon's not only helping Lincoln Financial Group roll out
Although the carrier has offered iGO e-App for its MoneyGuard line for some time, Nixon, the VP of Strategic Development of Underwrting & New Business, says now is the right time to expand Lincoln's electronic application offerings.
"Our producers have been waiting for this for a long time," she said. "In the end, it would have cost us more not to move to the next generation of electronic processing…which is how we view the iGO e-App.
The Radnor, PA-based company first signed their contract for iGO e-App back in 2008. According to Nixon, iPipeline was on their minds as a vendor to work with from the beginning. She says the iPipeline team was adept at helping Lincoln anticipate needs that had yet to materialize.
"Right off the bat, there was a level of comfort," she says. "iPipeline's people really knew our business and our needs."
The company had already offered its MoneyGuard product via iGO e-App. But as the years went on, agencies began contacting Nixon's team to find out how they could use it for the other products.
"Once you start to hear that from the field, it really hits home," she says.
The projected increase in speed and volume of business is still yet to be determined, but one thing is clear, Nixon says. People are excited.
"Everyone is jumping onboard quickly," she says of the iPipeline tools. "They want to start using them as soon as they can."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I wonder how much RL damage has occured because of this event, how many computer screens have been smashed, how many doors have been unhinged, how many holes have been put into walls. I'd wager it's dollar cost would be in the thousands, perhaps even in the six figure range by now. And how many family members and significant others have been struck or even beaten. Nerd rage IS stupid, and to let yourself go and become destructive/abusive is just wrong. But it does happen because of events like this, and I sometimes wonder if there is some sort of Sadist in charge at Blizzard who absolutely LOVES this holiday and will NEVER let it change because he enjoys thinking of all the mayhem he's causing.

For me, Ted seems to be for all of the kids who grew up in the 80's. Kids like me who loved films like ET and The Boy who could Fly etc. Instead of trying to recapture those films for a new audience, this film is made for us 80's kids who have now grown up. For that, I thank you ... read more

High profile comedy (due to McFarlane's name on it) interestingly/ironically about a man/boy choosing to grow up. There's a problem though when the technical reality of Wahlberg and Kunis relating to a animation (which they really do quite well) is more interesting than the stor... read more

This is one of those either you love it, or hate it kind of movies. I LOVE Seth MacFarlane, so this was a no brainer for me. I found this really funny, and really entertaining. I had many laugh out loud moments....:)
March 31, 2013
A very funny film if you like Family guy sense of humour. I did wonder about the whole talking teddy bear thing and if they could pull it off, but it looks great....must have put a lot of detail into the animation for Ted. The film is very funny, although very close to crossing t... read more

I can deal with the humor on 'Family Guy', and sometimes it's actually quite funny, but this directorial effort from Seth McFarlane was pretty painful. A few good jokes, but a whole lot of nonsense. I'm glad the rental was free.

Seth MacFarlane does a good job at disguising Ted from what it really is.
Hidden beneath all the layers, the story for Ted really is a romantic comedy; however, the 100 minutes don't necessarily play out like one. The idea of a living teddy bear and the comedic w... read more
Critic Reviews
Sure, MacFarlane, you can make us laugh, but it's time to grow up. Seriously. Full Review
Everything goes on too long -- Ted's carousing, Lori's watchful waiting, John's wistful indecision. Full Review
It's a goofy premise pursued with crass -- as well as sentimental -- relish. Full Review
You'll feel the warmth and camaraderie of a Bostonian and his little sentient bear. Full Review
I tried to resist but couldn't. Full Review
The idea of a toy that comes to life - and then won't go away - isn't a bad one. Too bad that "Ted" manages to overstay its welcome without ever really coming to life itself. Full Review
As unabashedly idiotic movie comedies go, Ted goes fairly well. Full Review
"Ted" is so lazy you want to kick the stuffing out of it. Full Review
Underneath the matted fur of the movie's foul-mouthed bear beats a very real heart. Full Review
The plot is simply a shaky frame on which to hang drug and sex jokes and numerous pop-culture references. Full Review

Food TV Round Up: Week of December 18, 2006
Tuesday on The Martha Stewart Show, Miss Piggy joins Martha to make Chocolate Peppermint Cookies. Believe it or not, but Martha and Miss Piggy have really good chemistry. And if that isn't enough, Seattle chef, Thomas Douglas, demonstrates his recipe for Crab Cakes.
Wednesday on Molto Mario, the big man in the orange clogs makes a Sauerkraut and Bean Soup, Potato Ravioli, and Lamb with Horseradish and Vinegar.
Friday on Take Home Chef, Curtis whips up tuna ceviche with coconut, palm sugar and soy sauce followed by mussels in white wine and thyme.
Saturday on a new episode of Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello, Michael does his take on traditional American comfort foods such as Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, and Pancakes.
Check Your Local Listings for the next episode of Diary of a Foodie, which explores the hot new trend/fad of molecular gastronomy. Recipes include Bacon and Egg Ice Cream. Breakfast and dessert all rolled into one. I like.

I've always been a big fan of Miss Piggy's. But don't we all think that dress is a bit plungy for a Muppet? (Role model to children after all) Who does she think she is, Jlo?
Or maybe I'm just jealous because her cutlets are bigger than mine!
