A message from SNAPDFWs facilitator, Lisa Kendzior
Acknowledge your courage
It takes courage to acknowledge that weve been abused and it is not easy to even admit it to ourselves. Just browsing this website is a big step.
Know that you are not alone!
If youve been victimized by clergy, please know that you are not alone. You can get better. You can reach out to others whove been hurt just like you have.
Together, we can heal one another.
"Sexual relations between clergy and congregation members is an abuse of power." So says the Fact Sheet and Action Guide: Sexual Abuse of Women by Clergy published by the National Organization for Women (NOW).
Moreover, the fact sheet reports that sexual abuse of female parishioners by clergy is an extremely prevalent problem.
A study by Dr. Pamela Cooper-White of The Lutheran Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, estimates that more than 95% of clergy sexual abuse victims are women. ...
Most recent study, conducted by Baylor University researchers in 2008-2009, revealed that "one in every 33 women who attend worship services regularly has been the target of sexual advances by a religious leader" (source).
Get the facts, and what you can do about them on the NOW website: Fact Sheet and Action Guide ...

Dear Friends,
A fellow DFW SNAP member sent this to me today and I thought it was beautiful and worth sharing. It may touch you in some way as it touched me. I warn you, it may be a tear-jerker though.
Lisa Kendzior
For Someone Awakening to the Trauma of His or Her Past
For everything under the sun there is a time
This is the season of your awkward harvesting,
When pain takes you where you would rather not go,
Through the white curtain of yesterdays to a place
You had forgotten you knew from the inside out;
And a time when that bitter tree was planted.
That has grown always invisible beside you
And whose branches your awakened hands
Now long to disentangle from your heart.
You are coming to see how your looking often darkened
When you should have felt safe enough to fall toward love,
How deep down your eyes were always owned by something.
That faced them through a dark fester of thorns
Converting whoever came into a further figure of the wrong;
You could only see what touched you as already torn.
Now the act of seeing begins your work of mourning.
And your memory is ready to show you everything,
Having waited all these years for you to return and know.
Only you know where the casket of pain is interred.
You will have to scrape through all the layers of covering.
And according to your readiness, everything will open.
May you be blessed with a wise and compassionate guide
Who can accompany you through the fear and grief
Until your heart has wept its way to your true self.
As your tears fall over that wounded place,
May they wash away your hurt and free your heart.
May your forgiveness still the hunger of the wound.
So that for the first time you can walk away from that place,
Reunited with your banished heart, now healed and freed,
And feel the clear, free air bless your new face.
from: To Bless the Space Between Us by John O'Donohue, 2008.

This Week in Quotes: Medieval monarchy model of church allows no accountability, says catholic theologian
"As elite members of the last feudal system in the West and one of the last absolute monarchies in the world, we shouldn't be surprised if bishops, as princes of the realm, are answerable only to their sovereign, the bishop of Rome.
"If the hierarchy's royal accruements were simply vestiges of their medieval past, they might be harmless enough. But these episcopal conceits have forged a culture of privilege, secrecy, and exemption that is now exposed as a detriment to both their teaching and pastoral roles." -- Donald Cozzens, Jesuit university professor.

This Week in Quotes: Boston Globe columnist says clergy abuse directly tied to "inhuman asexuality" of priests
"Catholic scandal has laid bare an essential pathology that is unique to the culture of clericalism, and mandatory celibacy is essential to it. Immaturity, narcissism, misogyny, incapacity for intimacy, illusions about sexual morality such all-too-common characteristics of todays Catholic clergy are directly tied to the inhuman asexuality that is put before them as an ideal." -- Catholic author and Boston Globe columnist James Carroll - Boston Globe, May 16, 2010

Pope's defense: Official documents are no proof; bishops not on Vatican payroll; motives too complicated for courts
The Vatican is detailing its defense against the first U.S. case to reach the stage of determining whether victims actually have a claim against the Vatican itself for negligence for the failure of bishops to alert police or the public about Roman Catholic priests who molested children.Apparently grasping for legal straws, the pope's high-powered US defense lawyer is expected to detail a strategy crafted to shield the pope and his bureaucracy in Rome from prosecution for negligence in protecting victims of rape and abuse by their underlings.
According to an AP report filed yesterday, the defense, in effect, says:
- Official secret documents do not prove coverup;
- Vatican is not responsible for actions by US bishops, who are not paid by Rome;
- Pope/bishop relationship is too "complicated" for courts to use in legalities designed to protect victims of the Catholic priest system.

Diarmuid Martin, Ireland's archbishop, seems to have reassured some abuse victims by lashing out at the clerical caste system in the Roman church in Ireland this week.
Irish Times reports that in many meetings with abuse victims and their supporters, mostly in private, Martin has earned a unique degree of trust. That may have been dented last February when, on his return from meeting the pope with the other Irish bishops in Rome, it was felt by the abused that his wings had been clipped.
But that may change after his recent remarks.

Pope calls kettle black again, blaming Portugal's financial crisis on the country's need for "moral responsibility"
In yet another mind-boggling display of the pope calling the kettle black, pope Ratzinger, quoting himself, blamed the people of Portugal -- who, as all papal hosts countries are required to do, are underwriting his current trip there to the tune of millions of dollars -- saying that the current fiscal woes of the small catholic country demonstrated their need for "moral responsibility."In answering pre-screened questions from reporters, he also mentioned the church-threatening priest sexual abuse crisis, saying that the threat is due to sins "within" the church, failing yet again to admit in any way the sins "of" the church.
The comments appeared to repudiate the Vatican's initial response to the scandal, in which it blamed the media as well as pro-choice and pro-gay marriage advocates for mounting a campaign against the church and the pope in particular.
But the statements can easily be seen as merely more rhetoric, this time to say what the world seems to want to hear, rather than what the millions of catholic priesthood victims of power and sex abuse need to hear.

Austrian cardinal attacks former Vatican No. 2; Roman hierarchy needs reform urgently: "days of coverup are over"
Austria's Roman cardinal has said the former second-highest Vatican official blocked a probe into a sex abuse scandal that rocked the country's Catholic church 15 years ago.Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn also accused Cardinal Angelo Sodano, the retired Vatican secretary of state, of causing ''massive harm'' to victims when he dismissed claims of clerical abuse as ''petty gossip'' on Easter Sunday.
Schoenborn's recent comments to a select group of journalists were summarized by the Catholic news agency Kathpress.
Schoenborn also was quoted as saying that it was no secret the Curia was "in urgent need of reform."

Untold story of Roman Catholic hierarchy reassigning known pedophile priests to 3rd world, poverty striken nations
There is a huge story, yet to be told, of the Roman Catholic Church's track record for reassigning known priest rapists and sexually abusive clerics to 3rd world, Catholic dominated nations, where victims have minimal to no resources for defending themselves.A specific instance is the West African nation of Sierra Leone, where there is no electricity or piped water, and where the Roman Catholic Church twice reassigned the American pedophile priest, James Tully.
The Associated Press reports that a 40-year-old schoolteacher now charges that priest Tully abused him and others, giving palm wine to his teenage victims to make them more susceptible to his advances.
The teacher told The Associated Press that Tully abused him and other boys repeatedly during his first stint in Sierra Leone, from 1979 to 1985. After a conviction in the U.S. for giving minors alcohol and groping them, the church sent Tully back to Sierra Leone for a second stint from 1994 to 1998.
Tully's story is an example of how the church transferred abusive priests from country to country, in a scandal now emerging worldwide. But it also shows the deep reluctance to come out against a Catholic priest in many parts of Africa.
Catholic Archbishop Buti Tlhagale of Johannesburg cautioned this month that the scandals in the church were not particular to the United States and Europe.
"It simply means that the misbehaviour of priests in Africa has not been exposed to the same glare of the media as in other parts of the world," Tlhagale said.

Angioplasty is a procedure used to treat patients with diseased coronary arteries (vessels that supply blood to the heart). Care You Should Expect to Receive - High quality surgical care such as angioplasty should restore good blood flow to the heart. The coronary arteries carry oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the heart muscles. They can become narrowed or blocked due to build-ups of fat and cholesterol. During this procedure a balloon is placed in the coronary artery then inflated, pushing blockages out of the way and allowing more blood to flow through. Angioplasty may be used to prevent a heart attack or to treat chest pain or other heart problems resulting from the blockages. Complications - Although angioplasty is relatively safe, as with any invasive procedure, patients who undergo this surgery are at risk for complications:
How Will This Help Me? When patients receive high quality care, they are more likely to achieve a good medical outcome (result). This can lower a patient's risk for complications. |
Our angioplasty report will tell you how successful Minnesota hospitals are in performing this procedure. Here we offer two pieces of information: 1) the number of times a hospital performed angioplasty and; 2) outcomes as measured by mortality (death) rates. Proficiency Ratings - Research suggests that patients who undergo complex procedures have better outcomes at hospitals where the procedure is performed more frequently (proficiency). Hospitals performing 400 or more angioplasty procedures have achieved proficiency – this signifies high-quality care. Hospitals performing less than 10 procedures may only do so on an emergency basis and their ratings are not included in this report. Mortality Ratings - A high mortality rate may not be due to medical errors. Some hospitals may experience a greater number of deaths because they see more sick patients. Our mortality rate information is shown as a comparison between a hospital's actual mortality rate and the rate expected for that hospital. A rate that is the "Same" or "Better" than expected signifies high-quality care. About Our Report - Our Care Results reports are based on quality measures developed by the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research (AHRQ), and made available on HealthScores by the Minnesota Hospital Association. This report is based on information from hospital patient medical records for services provided between October 2010 and September 2011. Your hospital's rating will vary depending on how many patients achieved a good medical outcome. Talk with your care team if you have questions or concerns. |

3 Tips on How To Become a Popular Music Artist
In today's fast paced music industry you are sure to run into the task of searching for a producer who can feed you HOT beats! It quickly becomes tiring when you have the job of looking for a good beat maker that has the style of instrumentals you are looking for. Thats why I am going to give you three tips on how to become a top selling arist in no time.
The first tip is to get to a computer and check out some producers online. There are several beat makers who post up their beats daily for you the artist to get your hands on. The beats are all of about $19.00 and if you find a professional producer, they will have a licsence agreement to go with the beats you buy. There are all kinds of beat makers who have huge arsinals of instrumentals online that you can go through.
Tip number two is to find a personal producer that you can get into contact with that can work with you individually. I know you are thinking how hard that seems but there are many producers and beat makers who make a living off of working with artists one on one for the artists next album or mixtape. You can also find these type of producers and beat makers right here online!
Tip number three is to go out to open mics in your local area! There is no greater way to get noticed locally then to go out and hit the town. Its so important for music artists to get up in front of crowds and perform so that they can not only get use to crowds, but they can slowly build up a fan base locally.
So there you have it! Find HOT beats, get yourself your own personal producer, and go perform locally! Becoming a top selling music artist has never been easier! Now of course there are more things you have to take care of as you become more and more popular, but by taking these steps and getting your feet wet is the first step to greatness!

The story Jimmy Goes Home, written by Susan Dobbie, follows a fictitious character, a young boy of mixed ancestry, as he and his family travel from a Hudson's Bay Company trading post in Northern BC to another in Southern BC. The story is based on the history of Hudson's Bay Company activities west of the Rocky Mountains in the 1850s, but much of the historical background of this story is applicable to the fur trade across North America.
The following lesson plans are designed to help students gain a better understanding of Aboriginal and European contributions to the development of Canada. Comprehension questions draw out some of the pertinent points of the story; a mapping exercise helps students with a spatial representation of the story, and a journal writing exercise gives students a chance to creatively empathize with the characters of the story. Additional activities contrast two different types of Aboriginal housing as well as compare bartering to a monetary system of exchange. The story and lesson plans are aimed at grades 4 through 6 and can be used as an integrated unit that incorporates Language Arts, Math, and Social Studies.

The Thunder's leading men quieted the Kings with near-flawless basketball. Serge Ibaka shut down Cousins, Westbrook orchestrated the offense and Durant often finished in spectacular fashion during the 28-10 spurt to start the second half that gave Oklahoma City an 86-61 lead and put the game away.
"That's what got us to the top of the West right now," Westbrook said. "That's what got us to the record we have now."
NOTES: Brooks, who grew up in nearby Manteca, declined to discuss the possibility that Sacramento could lose its NBA franchise but said Kings fans "have supported the team for many years. There's probably a few years in there they shouldn't have supported them." ... Westbrook had 13 assists two other times this season. ... Kings rookie Thomas Robinson was called for a technical foul for slapping away Hasheem Thabeet's hand in frustration in the fourth quarter. ... Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker, who lives in Northern California in the offseason, also attended the game.

1998 Ford Taurus Repair Question
1998 Ford Taurus EGR Valve Asst
I went to get my inspection sticker and was told there was a problem with my EGR valve. He said it may be a vacum problem. What other problems could there be with the EGR valve (i was reading over some of the messages youd previously recievd and saw where one man thought the valve may be dirty)? Secondly, where exactly is my EGR valve located and how would i go about changing it out myself? Should it be left up to a professional?
what code did you have? 401? i find in most all situations that the problem is not the valve at all, it is the sensor that detects exhaust pressure that fails. this is call the dpfe sensor and is very simple to install, unscrew 2 eight mm bolts unhook 2 vacuum lines then install new part. hope this helps
it was 401. so its probably the sensor? great i'll look into changing that out. where is it located? near the egr valve or in a different area alltogether?
i was reading your mind. purchase the new sensor first it cost about 30 -40 bucks, then look at engine and try to match it up, this should be fairly easy. look for 2 gray rubber hoses they will connect to it, there are only 2 gray hoses under the hood so this makes it even easier and you will be surprised how easy it is to replace.

FF5 loads a bit then black screen
Terranigma says it can't be played on US hardware
Any ideas? :)
FF5 loads a bit then black screen
Terranigma says it can't be played on US hardware
Any ideas? :)
Final Fantasy 5 with the translation patch? If so, the internal rom info is likely still claiming the game is 16mbit when infact the translation expanded it to 24mbit. EverDrive may rely on this information to be valid (other copiers do) and so it black screens when it trys to access ROM that isn't there.
Terranigma requires a patch. UCON64 might be able to patch it. I have a patched version around so it's out there.
How could I go about changing that description so it reads it properly?
Easily. Goto $FFD7 in a hex editor in the file. You should see the value $0B. Change it to $0C. If you do not see that value, check the start of the file for a whole bunch of $00 bytes. If from $0000 to $01FF is mostly zeroes that means there is a copier header. So instead goto $101D7 and check for $0B to change to $0C.
Let us know if it works after that. If you cannot make this change on your own let me know and I'll try to help you with that.
For Terranigma (E), with no header, goto $797CC and you should see $89. Change to $A9. It will now run on NTSC systems.
Thank you! :)
They both work, you've been a major help...thanks again! :D
Last edited by Delirious17; 05-17-2011 at 12:55 AM.
Thanks Mottz !
i tried my rom for Terranigma and it didn't work on my SNES. (from another thread)
and now work like a charm.
Seems like the game is optimized to run even in 60hz.
I didn't notice any problem with audio and music.
hey would you take a look into some BS games too ?(from the Shubibinman thread)
I would but I don't own a Super EverDrive. So it's hard to guess what the problem is.
But here is one thing to try, please report if it works or not.
Open BS Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman Zero (J) in your hex editor. Verify that it doesn't have a 512byte copier header. Goto $FFD5. Write these values: $31,$00,$0A,$00. Save and try loading it on the Super EverDrive.
No wait.
If you look at the Shubibinman thread i already managed to get it work by changing the rom size.
I was referring to the others BS's
You'll have to be specific. There are a ton of BS-X roms. Any fix is going to be goto to the imbedded info sector and fixing (or overwriting) data with what is needed to load the game. If that doesn't fix it, and it doesn't run on older emulators that don't try to run BS games differently than regular cartridges, then it may of other problems that would need specific hacking.
you 're right,
narrowing it down to just two games
would you look just into Out of Bounds and Sutte hakkun 2? :redface:
I thought the Out of Bounds Golf had already been fixed for SED or PowerPAK?
Out of Bounds is LoROM so you goto the $7FFF area to change the type to LoROM and the size to 8 megabits and it should work. For Sutte it's HiROM so you goto the $FFFF area to change it.
For Sutte goto $FFD5 and put in $31,$01,$0A,$03
For Golf goto $7FD5 and put in $30,$01,$0A,$03
Tell us if that works.
Yeah they works ^_^ ! thank you very much.
i wasn't sure if the correct thing to do was to change the sequence values or just start form 00ffd5 (or 007fd5) and add the values you suggest'd, that way the existing value moved to the right...
proof :
just Sutte Hakkun has something wrong.
There's a strange score for each save and when you go to the map you can obv choose level 1 - 2 or 3 and the practice but can't jump in.. whatever button you press
actually it's unplayable. O_O
Edit: tried in bsnes and it has the same behaviour
Last edited by Pannolino; 05-20-2011 at 04:56 PM.
BS-X roms often behave incorrectly because you are playing them without the BS-X hardware or without the PSRAM some games stored data in. BS-Zelda didn't behave well initially but after much interest in getting it to work it was hacked to work quite well.
it needs some extra hacking job to work properly, i guess
there's no way to use the buttons so must be something heavy
at least i saw the title screen :-/
The game had a version related on cartridge in Japan that works just fine. Have you played that?
I own both.
The normal release (which is the NP version without the tutorial if i remember correctly)
and this particular BS version.
Both cleared. (i played trough the BS version and except for the BS-X adapter it doesn't need the satella attached to the system)
that was just to not take the games from the shelf if i wanted to play 'em again. (yeah i'm a freak é_é)
if i'd own Shubibinman i won't play it for sure in any case. O_______O

Sorry to get this thread up again, but I just found this on google so I deemed it unnecessary to open another one...
As you, MottZilla, described, you can change the headers of Games to make them playable on the Everdrive. I have encountered Problems with BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 Dai-1-Shuu and Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie. Both of them just give me a black screen after booting them and I was hoping to maybe change the header to make it work then, perhaps you (or someone else with the knowledge) can help?

Hey , thanks for getting this sticky , useful for many people.

Former Fort Sill Soldier Pleads Guilty to Starving 10-year-old
By: Melissa Foy
Updated: February 25, 2013
The Army private accused of the starvation death of a 10-year-old boy at Fort Sill has pleaded guilty.
Thirty-three year-old Pvt. Connell C. Williams was charged with first-degree murder.
Federal prosecutors were seeking the death penalty but the plea means he will receive life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Williams is charged for the May 5, 2011, death of Marcus Holloway, the son of Williams' girlfriend, Candice Holloway, at Fort Sill. He had originally pleaded not guilty.
Holloway previously told authorities that Williams fed her son only rice cakes, cereal bars, and water most days, and was punished if he tried to sneak any other types of food.

The NDAR research portal has been developed for the autism research community. The NDAR Policies, however, have multiple stakeholders with differing needs. The policies and procedures defined here address the needs of all NDAR stakeholders. They are reviewed and approved by the NDAR Leadership Team periodically, at a minimum of once per year.
The NDAR Policy is the primary overarching policy of NDAR addressing considerations for providing data to NDAR, outlining the requirements for data submission and the protection of research subjects. The Ongoing Study Policy is for the purpose of using NDAR as a collaborative space for an investigator determined period of time, subject to <NDAR Data Access Committee> approval.
As defined by the NDAR Policy, the NDAR Data Access Committee (DAC) has been established to objectively and systematically review data access and submission requests. Collectively, the DAC has overall responsibility for ensuring compliance with the NDAR Policy. Specifically, the DAC's responsibilities include the following:
The DAC consists of a minimum of three federal employees appointed by the NDAR Director. The DAC comprises the following individuals with expertise in science, policy, or bioinformatics resources:
NDAR is a protected resource for autism data contributed by investigators, funded by the NIH and other organizations. Contained in the NDAR Central Repository are detailed research data derived from consenting human subjects. Operational procedures have been established to ensure that the data contained in NDAR are efficiently made available to qualified researchers according to the protections defined in NDAR and other federal policies.
The SOPs described below are to be followed by NIH, their designees, and NDAR users. Note that these procedures often require an investigator to upload a document into their NDAR profile and possibly associate these documents with an NDAR Collection or NDAR Study. Only the investigator and NDAR staff will have access to these documents. For any other questions or feedback, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Revision 1
Effective 9/27/12
The purpose of this SOP is to define the steps necessary to create a new NDAR portal account. This includes account initiation, review, approval, and validation.
This procedure applies to all account requests and the investigators and data managers at research sites who request them. This procedure requires 1-3 business days for accounts. Accounts with shared data access to NDAR or data submission privileges will take longer.
Revision 1
Effective 9/27/12
The purpose of this SOP is to define the steps necessary to request, review, and approve data submission privileges in NDAR.
This procedure applies to all investigators and data managers who will submit descriptive data, analyzed data, and supporting documentation associated with a research study to an NDAR Collection. This procedure typically requires 5-7 business days.
As a Federal Information System, NDAR will follow NIH Security Certification and Accreditation. NDAR is rated at a Security Objective of Confidentiality and a Potential Impact Level of Moderate. This level of security is defined by NIST publication 800-18 Guide for Developing Security Plans for Federal Information Systems:
"The unauthorized disclosure of information could be expected to have a serious adverse effect on organizational operations, organizational assets, or individuals."
Effective 1/7/2013
The purpose of this SOP is to establish the steps for accessing and querying the shared data stored in the NDAR Central Repository in addition to multiple autism-relevant data sources (e.g., AGRE, ATN, IAN and the Pediatric MRI Data Repository).
This procedure applies to all individuals interested in gaining access to data to NDAR. Procedures for requesting access to specific federated data sources will be made available as these data sources come online. Until then, contact the NDAR Help Desk with any questions.
Revision 1
Effective 9/27/12
The high quality of data within NDAR is crucial for ensuring its usefulness and reliability for research. Therefore, the NIH has implemented a multi-tiered quality control procedure for data contributed to NDAR.
Prior to a Data Dictionary release or the establishment of a federated data resource, NDAR Staff will certify that the fields defined do not include any information that can be reasonably used to identify a research subject or those associated with the research. Although not applicable to NDAR, the HIPAA Limited Dataset definition will be used as the basis for this certification. Specifically, NDAR Staff will ensure that the following direct identifiers of the research subject or of relatives, employers, or household members associated with the research subject are removed:
Any potential discrepancies to this privacy rule (e.g., genomics data or images that could be transformed) will be documented and approved/denied by the NDAR Data Access Committee (DAC).
Investigators may create an NDAR Collection or Study many months prior to submitting data to them. As containers empty of research data, Collections and Studies contain only general information such as the project title, contributing investigators and funding source. These containers may be shared either to specific individuals through NDAR's Ongoing Study capability or broadly with other researchers. The decision to share a Collection or Study is based solely upon the discretion of the owner. No additional review is necessary.
Sharing a Collection or Study only makes general information available to others. Documentation contained in the Collection or Study or data contained in the Collection must follow specific data sharing procedures, defined below.
For documentation uploaded to NDAR, the following procedure will be followed.
Datasets contributed to the NDAR Central Repository are shared with those that have appropriate access. The same process is followed for data shared broadly and data shared through NDAR's Ongoing Study capability.
Revision 1
Effective 9/27/12
The purpose of this SOP is to outline the steps required to establish a federated resource. The data federation provides investigators with a single point of access to multiple autism-related data sources in addition to the shared data stored in the NDAR Central Repository.
This procedure applies to NDAR Staff and the NDAR Data Access Committee (DAC).
Revision 1
Effective 9/27/12
The purpose of this SOP is to outline the steps for adding a data structure in NDAR's Data Dictionary.
This procedure applies to all investigators and data managers submitting data who wish to create a data structure. Duplication of data structures is to be avoided as much as possible. However, if no data structure exists for a given type of assessment or measure, we encourage the community to define the data structure.
Investigators are encouraged to extend the autism data dictionary available at http://ndar.nih.gov/ndar_data_dictionary.html?type=All&source=NDAR&category=All. To change a definition or use an existing one as a template, simply select the definition from the website and then select download definition, which will allow you to save your definition in csv format, which can be opened in Excel. Make your changes indicating the type of changes you have made and email the updated spreadsheet to the NDAR Help Desk. NDAR will then curate the definition and if no changes are needed, have it applied to the NDAR Data Dictionary. Please note that for all NDAR data definitions, subjectkey, src_subject_id, interview_age, interview_date, and gender are required.
Revision 1
Effective 9/27/12
The purpose of this SOP is to define the steps for installing the free GUID Tool software. This includes GUID Tool request initiation, review, approval, and verification.
This procedure applies to all investigators and data managers who are required to generate GUIDs and pseudo-GUIDs for data submission.
Revision 1
Effective 9/27/12
The purpose of this SOP is to outline the steps for receiving the Ongoing Study capability. This includes request initiation, review, and approval.
The procedure applies to the Principal Investigators, Co-Investigators, and collaborators interested in this capability. This procedure typically requires 10 business days.
The PI sends the reason they would like to use NDAR's ongoing study capability including a description of the data that will be held by NDAR, the Co-Investigators, and the duration the data will be available only to the group. Note that the Principal Investigator must have a current Data Submission Agreement uploaded to their account.
Revision 1
Effective 9/27/12
The purpose of this SOP is to outline the steps for requesting a time extension for data sharing. These requests may be made if there are reasons for which the release of data would be considered premature. Extensions are not granted for the sole purpose of delaying QA/QC activities.
This procedure applies to investigators who have submitted data and only the data contained in the NDAR Central Repository. This procedure typically requires 10 business days.
Revision 1
Effective 9/27/12
The purpose of this SOP is to outline the steps necessary to change the data-sharing terms associated with NIH-funded research. Over the course of research, circumstances may arise that necessitate a change in the terms.
This procedure applies to all investigators who are required to submit data to NDAR.
The purpose of this SOP is to outline the steps for receiving administrative access to NDAR.
This procedure applies to all NDAR technical staff, NDAR operational staff, and extramural program staff who must have the ability to query and review data within NDAR in order to perform their job. Intramural staff who wish to request access to NDAR should follow SOP-04 Data Access Permission Request.
The NDAR Director is responsible for granting individual access to those administering NDAR. The Director may choose to delegate the responsibility of granting access to other NDAR Staff.
Requests for such access will be approved by the Data Access Committee (DAC). The procedure for requesting such access generally follows the procedure detailed in SOP-04 Data Access Permission Request, however, the request can be submitted by email in lieu of completing and submitting the NDAR Data Use Certification. Requests should be addressed to firstname.lastname@example.com and must provide the reason that access to data in NDAR is needed.
Beginning in fiscal year 2012, all NIH-funded human subject research data related to autism is expected to be shared through NDAR. For new projects, the data sharing terms will be included in the Notice of Grant Award (NGA) which will also include expected timelines for data submission. For projects enrolling new research subjects and collecting new data on those subjects, both descriptive and analyzed data are expected to be deposited into NDAR. When experimental results are obtained from a dataset originating from an NDAR federated source (e.g. ATP, AGRE), only the newly derived analyzed data are expected to be submitted to NDAR in an effort to avoid duplication. While most data are expected to be submitted directly into NDAR, there may be valid scientific and/or operational reasons for submitting data, either descriptive and/or experimental, into another repository and not NDAR. However, to ensure that data remains available to the research community, only repositories that are federated with NDAR, make the data generally available to the autism research community, and have a memo of understanding (MOU) in place with NDAR ensuring such data deposited remain available to the community in perpetuity, will be considered.
The following procedure should be followed for such cases.
An investigator who wishes to use another repository for data sharing should first consult with his/her Program Officer. If the Program Officer believes that it is appropriate for the investigator to submit to another repository, the investigator should provide the following information to the NDAR Help Desk:
NDAR Staff will provide the request to submit and share data through a federated repository and any related information to the NDAR Data Access Committee (DAC) for a decision. The DAC meets twice a month to review these requests. NDAR Staff may contact investigators and/or the Program Officer for additional information if required. The DAC reviews the request and makes a decision based on the information provided in the request. Final approval of the request to submit to another repository instead of NDAR is contingent upon approval from both the Program Officer and the DAC. Once approved, NDAR Staff will send an email to the lead investigator with the decision. The entire procedure typically requires 10 business days.

King: Hearings will help US-Muslim cooperation
The GOP congressman believes his incendiary hearings on domestic terrorism will reconcile Muslims to the police
By Justin ElliottTopics: Islam, Peter King, R-N.Y., War Room, Politics News
On Thursday, Rep. Peter King (R-NY) will hold his much-anticipated first hearing on terrorism and U.S. Muslims, or, as it's officially titled, "The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community's Response."
In advance of the hearing, King is making the media rounds, and he made a telling comment to the New York Daily News over the weekend:
Muslims, he said, have a "misguided" belief that they were victimized by a backlash of hatred after the Sept. 11 attacks. The congressman argues the hate they feel is imagined, and Muslims need to put aside any fears they have towards official America and police.
"I think a lot of that is a self-imposed fear they have, and that seemed to put them underground, put then in a sense of non-cooperation," King said. "I'm hoping that the hearing will bring this out, and encourage people in the Muslim community to come forward and realize that they should cooperate."
The notion that "radicalization" hearings led by King — who has a lengthy history of making inflammatory and bogus accusations about Muslims — are going to encourage better cooperation between police and this community is a fantasy.
King is a man who has repeatedly cited the baseless "statistic" that "80 percent" of mosques in America are controlled by "radical imams." He also once told Politico that "there are too many mosques in this country" — the type of statement that, if it had been made about a different religious group, would have ended King's career. Meanwhile, the names of a few anti-Muslim activists have been floated as witnesses for the hearing — though the final composition of the witness list is not clear.
All of this suggests that most American Muslims will not see in King a reason to have cozier feelings about the government or law enforcement (which, the Washington Monthly recently reported, often gets bigoted and ignorant training about Islam).

The Costume Box: Dress-Up for Holiday and Every Day »
Category: Sewing
Type of item: Costume
For: Girls
Style: Cute, Whimsical
The material for the cloak is satin. For the crown I used pelmet vilene and covered it with gold lame and used felt for the jewels, ( our 2yr old would remove beads ) and the skirt is made from a sheer polyester.
What was your inspiration?
I needed a costume for the jubilee celebrations. Our local playgroup asked if they could be dressed in red white and blue or as a princess hence the colour scheme.
What are you most proud of?
My 2 year old grandaughter loved it and is still wearing the crown constantly.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
The course is good fun and has a lot of great ideas. Velcro is a great fastener for dressing up clothes for small children.
