LIVESTRONG inspired me to take action in the fight against cancer.
Bloomfield Hills, MI (PRWEB) December 12, 2012
The LIVESTRONG BLOG says the newly launched website takes direct action by providing information on emerging treatments, access to the researchers involved, and actual enrollment to over 500 breast cancer medical research trials. It also gives anyone a direct chance to get involved in funding this research through use of the "crowdfunding" model that has taken the startup world by storm.
Naveen writes "as some involved in the fight against cancer know all too well, one of the most complicated crossroads in the journey is the clinical trials process". At the recent MAGI Clinical Research Conference in San Diego, it was reported that of the 50,000 clinical trials that took place in the U.S. in 2009, 80 percent were delayed by at least a month due to low enrollment".
Stephen Goldner, cureLauncher's Founder and President, was a featured speaker at the Clinical Research conference. "Providing easy access for patients to connect with clinical trials is critical", said Goldner.
Only cureLauncher translates the complex, medical terminology into easy to understand English. It provides the entry questions to determine if a clinical trial is appropriate for anyone's specific condition. People can submit a Request Form to participate in the trial or call CureLauncher directly to see if they qualify. CureLauncher is free to all users and a concierge person is available to answer any questions.
CureLauncher is also supporting a new breast cancer treatment from esteemed cancer researcher Dr. Lee Roy Morgan. People can find information about this experimental treatment at cureLauncher and make a donation to advance the treatment. Ninety one percent of the donations go directly to advancing the new drug. Each person who donates $25 or more can email Dr. Morgan directly and receive his confidential reply.
CureLauncher's Vice President, David Fuehrer, spoke with Naveen. "My connection to the LIVESTRONG Foundation is both professional and very personal. "At 25, I was a natural bodybuilding champion in New York. Four months later, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer", said David.
"Lance Armstrong's book helped me cope with my transition from competitive athlete to cancer patient. Five years later, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer a second time. Throughout the past 10 years, the LIVESTRONG Foundation has helped me accept myself and take action. That inspiration is a big part of why I work with cureLauncher to fund new cancer treatments to save lives".

Sustainable investing, an approach that integrates environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria, is becoming a much sought-after strategy in the financial industry. Whether implemented through socially responsible investing (SRI) screening, ESG integration or impact investing, sustainable investing offers a growing number of options for investors interested in pursuing goals beyond financial growth when building their portfolios.
Through sustainable investing, not only can investors aim to make a positive impact on society and the environment, they can potentially improve the risk/return characteristics of their portfolios by factoring environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into their investment decisions.
While there is a common theme of pursuing a greater purpose, there is much variety within sustainable investment strategies, particularly in how they are implemented. Implementation generally takes the form of one or more of the following approaches:
Exclusionary screening:
Impact investing2
Other dimensions
1 CFA Institute, "ESG Issues in Investing: Investors Debunk the Myths." 2015
2 Global Impact Investing Network, "What You Need to Know About Impact Investing," https://thegiin.org/impact-investing/need-to-know/#s2
The paths to pursuing effective global stewardship and possible growth are coming together in the investor mindset. Sustainable investing, when incorporated into a well-defined, long-term investment plan, can be a powerful tool in addressing global challenges while achieving personal financial goals.
Investors may consider sustainable investing for a host of reasons:
There is no assurance that any investment strategy will be successful. Investing involves risk and investors may incur a profit or a loss.
Sustainable investing, an approach that integrates environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria, is becoming a much sought-after strategy in the financial industry.

Oh, it is ON between Google and Microsoft. A Google security engineer in Switzerland warned Microsoft of a vulnerability in Windows XP, but after they didn't fix it within five days, he went public with the hacker's wet dream.
Tavis Ormandy was the Google engineer who discovered the XP hole in the Help and Support centre of Windows, which normally allows people to download help documents from the internet if needed. The hole though (if you know what you're doing), actually lets you download more than just the help files - you could actually "execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the current user," according to the engineer, with PCs running Windows XP SP2 and SP3, and IE7 or IE8.
While going public before the flaw was fixed might not have been the smartest move, Ormandy believes it was the only way to make Microsoft sit up and pay attention, rather than shelve the problem for a later day: "If I had reported the...issue without a working exploit, I would have been ignored," he wrote in a blog post. Microsoft understandably hit back, with Jeff Bryant, the group manager at the Microsoft Security Response centre writing of his concern "about the public disclosure of this issue given we were only notified about it by this researcher on the 5th of June".
Security experts are now calling for a public hanging (well, dismissal) of Ormandy, with the CEO of SecTheory, Robert Hansen, wading in and saying that he should be fired. I think that's a little harsh personally, but what do you feel about Google publicly admonishing Microsoft about their security flaws - especially in light of ditching Windows as their HQ OS of choice?

Domaine_Pinnacle avait besoin d'un nouveau design de Autre et a lancé un concours sur 99designs.
Un gagnant a été sélectionné de 95 designs proposés par 28 designers freelance.
Domaine Pinnacle (http://www.domainepinnacle.com) is a leading producer of cider products in Canada. We are launching a new line of still and sparkling (alcoholic) table ciders under the brand name "CID''. This cider is a new brand that will be sold in large grocery stores and will NOT be directly associated with our main brands, which are sold in a different sales channel (SAQ government-owned liquor stores). Initially the product line will have two SKUs (still and sparkling) but eventually we may extend the product line to include other types of ciders.
CID is a semi-dry, refreshing table cider that has a fresh, fruity character, balanced with a crisp acidity. This is a product that can be consumed much like a white or rosé wine. Both the still and sparkling versions are packaged in clear 750 ml. bottles. The product will be priced at approximately $10 retail, a good value and competitive in the market.
The brand name "CID" is a commonly used slang pronunciation of the word ''Cidre'' (French for "cider") in the French-speaking province of Quebec. We are looking to create a design and image that is fun, trendy and that could create a "buzz". For example, the CID graphic could, when the letter "c" is elongated, show a stylized foot or step that could be used in advertising. This is just one example for illustration (that can be used in your visuals) but we are open to new ideas and concepts. We ALSO want to convey the image that the product is of quality and is authentic – that is to say made from 100% locally picked Quebec apples and natural. The product must be attractive and stand out on the shelf from the hundreds of wine and cider products in this market.
Target market is(18-35 years), social and urban with an interest in local food and drinks. The market has moderate and above income, including both males and females but slightly weighted to females.
The main cider products in the market currently are listed below:
Still Ciders
"Degel" http://www.cidredeglace.com/degel_en/
"Legende d'Automne" http://www.lesvergerslafrance.com
''Michel Jodoin'' http://www.cidrerie-michel-jodoin.qc.ca
Sparkling Ciders:
"Bulle #1" http://www.cidredeglace.com/bulle_en/
"Domaine Lafrance" http://www.lesvergerslafrance.com
"Cremant de Pomme, Du Minot" http://www.duminot.com
Label design for two products - still cider and sparkling cider; both must be submitted together with both capsules.
The labels must fit on the flat portion of the bottles (paper or transparent film). The still cider is finished with a BVS twist cap, which can be printed any design. The sparkling cider will be finished with a cork, wirehood and foil and will use a typical champagne style bottle. Diagrams of the two bottles are attached. The product (liquid) color resembles the competitive product Degel referred to above.
• Presentation of 2D concept boards with front and back labels and a visual with the labels/capsules on both bottles shown in color
• Revisions and fine tuning as necessary to finalize design
• Realization of fully finalized ready to print AS Adobe Illustrator CS3 files.

Lemon-Cream Pasta Toss
There's nothing quite as comforting as a big bowl of cream-laced pasta. When television chef and cookbook author Nigella Lawson added fresh lemon juice and rind to the classic creamy Alfredo sauce, I was definitely hooked.
While linguine cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until chicken is cooked through, and no pink remains in the center. Add lemon juice to the chicken and simmer 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Sonata by Steelcase
Sonata modular casegoods define personal space within healthcare treatment settings, providing important amenities to patients and families with easy access for clinicians.
Personal Space
In treatment areas, comfort, control and connection are highly important. Sonata modular casegoods define personal space to provide just enough privacy – while maintaining clear sightlines and access to clinicians.
Sonata emphasizes comfort, both physical and emotional. Open storage makes room for personal items in sight, where they won't be forgotten.
The Challenge
A healthcare environment should consider the needs and activities of clinicians, patients, and their families.
Limitations of conventional treatment spaces:
- Patients are separated from clinicians.
- Clinical supplies compete with belongings at the patient's side.
- Privacy and personal space are not addressed in an environment where people regularly contend
- with fear, discomfort and a lack of control.
For more product details about Sonata, please visit steelcase.com

The event: Hosted by Kathy Griffin and bursting with stars, "TrevorLive L.A." raised funds for the Trevor Project, which provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth.
The event on Dec. 8 at the Hollywood Palladium included a show produced by "So You Think You Can Dance" judge Adam Shankman, and honored "Trevor Hero" Jane Lynch, "Youth Innovator" Adam White and "20/20 Visionary" Toyota. (The latter award was accepted by Chief Executive Mike Groff of Toyota Financial Services.)
The performers: Recording artists Adam Lambert, Sia and Cheyenne Jackson; Megan Hilty of "Smash"; Beth Behrs of "2 Broke Girls"; and "Dancing With the Stars" winner Amber Riley of "Glee" performed. So did an ensemble from "Glee" that included Chris Colfer, Darren Criss, Mark Salling, Naya Rivera, Alex Newell, Melissa Benoist, Becca Tobin, Jenna Ushkowitz, Dot-Marie Jones, Kevin McHale, Blake Jenner, Jacob Artist and Harry Shum Jr.
Yet more stars: There to present awards, introduce performers or simply lend support were Paula Abdul, Ricki Lake, Mandy Moore, Big Sean, Candice Accola, Samantha Ronson, Dermot Mulroney, Lisa Kudrow, NBA star Jason Collins, Jennifer Coolidge of "American Pie"; "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy; "Sex and the City" director Michael Patrick King; Brant Daugherty of "Pretty Little Liars"; Sarah Michelle Gellar ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") and James Wolk of "The Crazy Ones"; Andrew Rannells of "Girls"; Allison Janney of "Masters of Sex;" Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas; Josh Duhamel of "Las Vegas"; Hannah Simone of "New Girl"; Laura Vandervoort of "Bitten"; and Mike C. Manning of the upcoming "Cloud 9."
The scene: Inside the ballroom, as nearly 1,200 guests caught up over dinner, Abdul showed off snapshots of herself floating in the Dead Sea and meeting with Israel's President Shimon Peres during a month-long trip to Israel and Australia. She said she celebrated a belated bat mitzvah in Israel. "At age 51," she added.
Quotes of note: In leading up to Lynch's award, "Glee" cast members ticked off insults hurled at them by the honoree's TV persona, Sue Sylvester. First up at the microphone, Colfer named "porcelain," "gay kid," "Eddie Munster," "dough face" and "twinkle tush," before adding, "Frankly, I'm proud of that last one."
Accepting her award with characteristic humor, Lynch said, "I'd love at this moment to be falsely modest and say that I am no hero… I'd love to be able to say what I do is not extraordinary, but I can't -- I deserve this frigging award." She then enumerated all she doesn't do for the cause, finally calling herself lucky for appearing on "Glee," which she said portrays "how people are when they have each other's back and when people are celebrated for who they are."
The numbers: Tickets ranged from $200 to $2,500. Total proceeds, which also included on-site donations, a silent auction and live auction sales, are yet to be tabulated.

Online about filming with the actress, "What a diva! She was pathetic, she couldn't remember her lines, and she didn't even have that many. I thought to myself 'why are we all being held hostage by this brat?" Doesn't that seem a bit harsh coming from a 57-year-old?
Tim goes on to say he wanted to tell Taylor, "there are hundreds of thousands of girls who are just as attractive and even smarter than you!" Isn't he supposed to be a mentor?
Tim's rage was not just confined to Taylor either as he also attacked the Real Housewives, calling them wild animals! He offers them this tip however, "My advice is to take the high road."
Maybe you should have taken you own advice before this interview pal!
What do you think HollywoodLifers, did Tim cross the line when he attacked teenager Taylor Momsen?

Red Bull said Dan Fallows has been appointed head of aerodynamics, replacing McLaren-bound Peter Prodromou who is now on 'gardening leave'.
The statement drew a swift response from McLaren, who announced at their car launch in January that Fallows had joined along with Prodromou.
"Dan Fallows has a legally binding contract with McLaren, and the matter is now in the hands of our lawyers," said a spokesman for the Woking team.
Red Bull said Fallows had left them last year after working as aerodynamics team leader but had returned and was starting his new job with immediate effect.
McLaren announced last October that Prodromou would be joining them but Red Bull, constructors' champions for the past four years, were determined to hold the much sought-after Briton to his contract.
They did not say when his leave would formally end.
Prodromou was McLaren's head of aerodynamics until 2006, having joined that team in 1991, when he followed Adrian Newey to Red Bull.
McLaren have changed their leadership since Fallows agreed to join, with Ron Dennis retaking overall control and Eric Boullier appointed racing director in place of departed principal Martin Whitmarsh.
The team started the season with a second and third place in Australia for Danish rookie Kevin Magnussen and Jenson Button, pending an appeal by Red Bull who had Australian Daniel Ricciardo disqualified.
Red Bull have won the last four constructors' and drivers' championships, with Sebastian Vettel triumphant in the last nine races of 2013, but have started the season chasing dominant Mercedes.
McLaren failed to finish on the podium last year.

rosenz needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 86 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
AskAny is a question and answer site. Some users sign up and create a page about any topic they like. It could be what they are an expert at, or their job, or a hobby, or anything. Then other users can go to that page and ask them questions. Target audience is very broad. Users will be generally more outgoing and open to sharing than the average.
You can see my current (engineer-created) design. I like the logo and have had no complaints about that. But I have had many people tell me the design "needs to be better." When I ask for specifics, I get few responses. People don't like it, but they can't tell me what they would like better.
I need something that looks 2016 and professional. Keep the logo, but forget about the banner image and colors as I don't care about those.
Give me a front page design (https://askany.com) and a topic page design (https://askany.com/macmost/ or https://askany.com/corgilover/ or https://askany.com/GetOutOfHellFree/ as examples). The rest of the pages would be just settings and forms that would be derived from the topic page design.
I like the current design. But no one else seems to. So I don't think I can help much here. I will be putting the best designs in front of other eyes for feedback.
I do not want html/css. I just want a design. I will implement the html/css. So just work in Photoshop or whatever you like. Hopefully that makes it much easier for you. Stick to standard fonts or Google's Open web fonts for text.

Dutch producer Kees Kasander has angrily dismissed reports from Italy that his latest production, Jan Terlouw adaptation To Be King (Koning van Katoren), has been impounded by an Amsterdam court because of unpaid bills in Italy.
The film, by director Ben Sombogaart, is a family adventure. It is due to be released on over 100 screens in the Netherlands by Benelux Film Distributors on Dec 5. A representative from BFD has confirmed the release will go ahead as planned.
Recent reports from Italy have claimed that an organisation called 'Pay Kasander Pay' had been founded by the unpaid cast and crew on the film.
"The truth of the matter is that the people behind the service producing company Cornelius Cinema hide financial information," Kasander said. "They have failed to raise the guaranteed financing and have according to an audit report not used all the cash flow Kasander sent to pay the creditors of the film."
The producer suggested the campaigning group should really be called Pay Cornelius Cinema Pay.'
"(The) fact is that this is part of a smear campaign set up from Italy. This has been going on now for a week. We have now our lawyer working to stop this smear campaign."
Kasander insisted his company had "honoured" their obligations toward Cornelius Cinema.
The Kasander Company wasn't able to provide contact details for Cornelius Cinema but a company representative said Cornelius was based in Rome. The representative also denied the allegation that Cornelius was owned by Kasander.
There was no comment on the controversy from The Netherlands Film Fund, which has backed the film, or from the London office of the completion bonds company EFB (European Film Bonds).
Kasander said that he had been trying to reach the Cornelius Cinema creditors.
"We have been waiting for four months for that creditor's list. Up till today we don't know who has been paid and who has not been paid. And this group of people are still anonymous. We, EFB and Kasander, want to help, but we need to talk to a person," the producer said.
He has published as statement online at www.kasanderfilm.nl.

MUMBAI, India — At 5:30 p.m. on that Thursday, four young men were playing cards, as usual, when Mohammed Kasim Sheikh's cellphone rang and he announced that it was time to go hunting. Prey had been spotted, he told a friend. When the host asked what they were going to hunt, he said, "A beautiful deer."
As two men rushed out, the host smirked, figuring they did not like losing at cards.
Two hours later, a 22-year-old photojournalist limped out of a ruined building. She had been raped repeatedly by five men, asked by one to re-enact pornographic acts displayed on a cellphone. After she left, the men dispersed to their wives or mothers, if they had them; it was dinnertime. None of their previous victims had gone to the police. Why should this one?
The trial in the Mumbai gang-rape case has opened to a drowsy and ill-attended courtroom, without the crush of reporters who documented every twist in a similar case in New Delhi in which a woman died after being gang-raped on a private bus. The accused, barefoot, sit on a bench at the back of the courtroom, observing the arguments with blank expressions, as if they were being conducted in Mandarin. All have pleaded not guilty. They are slight men with ordinary faces, nothing imposing, the kind one might see at any bus stop or tea stall.
But the Mumbai case provides an unusual glimpse into a group of bored young men who had committed the same crime often enough to develop a routine. The police say the men had committed at least five rapes in the same spot. Their casual confidence reinforces the notion that rape has been a largely invisible crime here, where convictions are infrequent and victims silently go away. Not until their arrest, at a moment when sexual violence has grabbed headlines and risen to the top of the state's agenda, did the seriousness of the crime sink in.
An editor at the photographer's publication, who was present when a witness identified the first of the five suspects, a juvenile, said the teenager dissolved in tears as soon as he was accused.
"It was exactly like watching a kid in school who has been caught doing something," said the editor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect the identity of the victim, who cannot be identified according to Indian law. "It's like a bunch of kids who found a dog and tied a bunch of firecrackers to its tail, just to see what would happen. Only in this case it was far more egregious. It was malevolent, what happened."
In spots Mumbai is an anarchic jumble, its high-rise buildings flanked by vest-pocket slums and vacant properties that have reverted to near-wilderness. One such place is the Shakti Mills, a ruin from the prosperous days of Mumbai's textile industry. When night falls, it is a treacherous span of darkness lined with sinkholes and debris, but still in the middle of the city, still close enough to look up and watch the lights flicker on in the Shangri-La Hotel.
The photographer and her colleague, a 21-year-old man, were interns at an English-language publication and had decided to include this spot — the backdrop for any number of fashion shoots — as part of a photo essay on the city's abandoned buildings, the editor said. On that Thursday last August, they reached the ruined mill about an hour before sunset.
The five men they encountered there later came from slums near the mill complex, claustrophobic concrete warrens where electrical wires tangle at one's head and acrid water flows in open gutters around one's feet.
None of the men worked regularly. There were jobs chicken-plucking at a neighborhood stand — a hot, stinking eight-hour shift that paid 250 rupees, or $4. The men told their families they wanted something better, something indoors, but that thing never seemed to come. They passed time playing cards and drinking. Luxury was pressed in their faces in the sinuous form of the Lodha Bellissimo, a 48-story apartment building rising from an adjacent lot.
"Every boy in this neighborhood, including myself, would look at those buildings and say, 'One day, I will own a flat in that building,' " said Yasin Sheikh, 22, who knew two of the accused men from the neighborhood. Because of his work helping find slum locations for film crews, he sometimes has a chance to interact with wealthy people, he said, and it fills him with yearning.
"I feel really sad around them, because I want to sit at the table with them," he said.
Only Kasim Sheikh, 20, the card player who took the call, seemed to have shaken off the drag of poverty. A plump man in a neighborhood of the half-starved, he wore flashy shirts and hooked up his friends with catering jobs at weddings. He had been convicted of theft — iron, steel and other scrap from a railroad site — and occasionally provided information to the police, according to Mumbai's joint police commissioner, Himanshu Roy.
Some people steered clear of Mr. Sheikh. The grandmother of one of the accused men, a 16-year-old whose name is being withheld because of his age, had forbidden Mr. Sheikh to cross their threshold. But her grandson craved nice things; that was his weakness, his grandmother said. Mr. Sheikh "wore good clothes, he had a nice mobile, obviously he would, because he was a thief," said Yasin Sheikh, the neighbor.
When another of their friends, a 27-year-old father of two named Salim Ansari, spotted the interns in the mill that day, the first thing he did was call Kasim Sheikh to tell him that their prey had arrived.
Nothing to Lose
During the year since the Delhi gang rape, sexual violence has been discussed endlessly in India, but there are few clear answers to the questions of how much is it happening or why.
One problem is that perpetrators may not view their actions as a grave crime, but something closer to mischief. A survey of more than 10,000 men carried out in six Asian countries — India not among them — and published in The Lancet Global Health journal in September came up with startling data. It found that, when the word "rape" was not used as part of a questionnaire, more than one in 10 men in the region admitted to forcing sex on a woman who was not their partner.
Asked why, 73 percent said the reason was "entitlement." Fifty-nine percent said their motivation was "entertainment seeking," agreeing with the statements "I wanted to have fun" or "I was bored." Flavia Agnes, a Mumbai women's rights lawyer who has been working on rape cases since the 1970s, said the findings rang true to her experience.
"It's just frivolous; they just do it casually," she said. "There is so much abject poverty. They just want to have a little fun on the side. That's it. See, they have nothing to lose."
The photographer and her colleague reached the mill but, visually, it was not what they wanted. That is when two men approached them, the victim told the police later, offering to show them a route farther in. There the images were better, and the two had been working for half an hour when the two men returned.
'The Prey Is Here'
This time they came back with a third, Mr. Sheikh, who told them something odd — "Our boss has seen you, and you have to come with us now" — and insisted they take a path deeper into the complex. As they walked, she called an editor, who said to leave immediately, but it was too late for that. "Come inside, the prey is here," Mr. Sheikh called out, and two more men joined them.
The men said that the woman's colleague was a murder suspect, asked the pair to remove their belts and used them to tie the man up. After that, the woman told the police, "the third person and a person who had a mustache took me to a place that was like a broken room."
The men had done the same thing a month before, said Mr. Roy, the police commissioner, taking turns raping an 18-year-old call-center worker who, accompanied by her boyfriend, had sprained her ankle and was trying to take a shortcut through the mill. They had done the same thing with a woman who worked as a scavenger in a garbage dump, and a sex worker, and a transvestite, Mr. Roy said.
Mr. Sheikh took the broken neck of a beer bottle out of his shirt pocket and thrust it at the young woman, telling her: "You don't know what a bastard I am. You're not the first girl I've raped," she told the police later, according to the charge sheet filed in the case.
On the other side of the wall, her friend heard the woman cry out. "An inquiry is going on," the man guarding him said. They went in to her and returned, one by one.
"Did you inquire properly?" Mr. Sheikh said to one as he came out.
"No, she's not talking," he replied.
So Mr. Sheikh said he would "go inquire again," and the rest of them laughed.
At last they brought her out, weeping, and told the two to leave along the railroad tracks. Before releasing her, they threatened to upload video of the attack onto the Internet if she reported the crime, a strategy that had worked with previous victims.
But this one did not hesitate. The two caught a cab to the nearest hospital. There they reported the crime, and the woman's mother arrived. "I went inside. I saw her there crying," her mother told the police later. "She told me in English, 'Mummy, I'm vanished.' "
The woman did not respond to a request for an interview.
Mr. Sheikh, too, saw his mother for a few moments that night. He discussed the rape with her, she said, and tried to explain why it had happened.
"I asked Kasim, 'Son, why did you do this to her? If it happened to your sister, would you come here and tell me or would you beat him?' " said his mother, Chandbibi Sheikh. He told her that his friends had come upon the couple embracing in the mill, and "they thought: 'What is she doing with this boy here? She must be loose.' "
She related this exchange from the family's home, a sort of shelf wedged between a gas station and a garbage dump; as she spoke, a rat the size of a kitten clambered over containers stacked in a corner. She said far too much onus was being put on the men.
"Obviously, the fault is the girl's," she said. "Why did she have to go to that jungle? It's her fault, too. Also, she was wearing skimpy clothes."
She did not deny that he had done it. "He must have," she said. "He told me that they tied up the boy who was doing bad things to her and said, 'Madam, let us also do it.' The madam said, 'Don't do it to me, take my mobile, take my camera, but don't do it to me.' Her body was uncovered. How could he control himself? And so it happened."
High-Level Response
Though the men in the mill may not have known it, rape had become a matter of great public import in India, a gauge of a city's identity. Mumbai's top officials, who had told themselves that the Delhi gang rape could not have happened here, were horrified and initiated a broad, high-level response, as if an act of terrorism had taken place.
The police lighted up their networks of slum informants and all five were arrested and gave confessions in quick succession. Several made pitiful attempts to escape. Mr. Sheikh went to the visitor's room of a nearby hospital and covered himself with a blanket, trying to blend in with a crowd of relatives. He was caught with 50 rupees, or about 81 cents, in his pocket. When the police asked him to sign his confession, he told them he could not write, so he signed it with a thumbprint.
"It is incredible how quickly the whole thing unraveled," said the editor, who was present when the photographer's colleague picked the first of the five men out of a lineup. A second victim, the call-center worker, came forward, inspired by the first, and said she was ready to testify. The suspects confessed to the other rapes under questioning, the police said.
The public prosecutor selected for the case is famous for prosecuting terrorists, with a résumé of 628 life sentences, 30 death sentences and 12 men, as he put it, "sent to the gallows."
Much news coverage over the next days zeroed in on the defendants' poverty, but Mr. Roy shrugged off that line of inquiry. After interrogating the five accused men personally, he said they were "social outcasts," not indicative of any deeper tensions in the city.
"They were deviants, sociopaths, predators," he said in an interview. "If there was a larger socioeconomic framework, these crimes would be happening again and again. It was only these guys. I'm 100 percent sure that this kind of crime doesn't happen in Mumbai. I've been here all my life and have been born and brought up here."
But in a constellation of neighborhoods around Mumbai, people are still trying to match up the crime with the ordinary men they knew.
Shahjahan Ansari, the wife of the oldest accused man, Salim Ansari, looked terrified when a stranger appeared at her door, at a hulking, trash-strewn public housing complex beside a petroleum refinery on a distant edge of the city. The neighbors had started to shun the family since Salim's arrest became public, and she dreaded the extra attention.
"We can't even walk on the street. You don't understand," she said. Inside the apartment, she calmed down a little. The whole story baffled her; she said she had no idea who her husband's friends were or what he did during the day when she went to work cleaning houses. All she knew was that until his arrest, he came home for dinner every night, "He was to me like any husband is to his wife," she said.
"How do I know how he got into this mess? It must be the Devil," murmured Salim's mother, who was sitting on the floor, one eye blind, cloudy white.
Ms. Ansari was remembering better days before her husband lost his job, at a factory that made cardboard boxes. He was so proud of the factory, with its big machines, that he brought his sons to watch him on Sunday shifts. Tonight the younger one was streaked with dust; the older one watched from a cot, glassy-eyed and much smaller than his 10 years, bony limbs folded under his chin. She would try, Ms. Ansari said, to move them somewhere else, to a place where no one knew who their father was.
"I want my children to grow up to be good human beings, that's all," the mother said.

Voluntary Guidelines for States: Development and Implementation of a School Environmental Health Program
This month, EPA will release its Voluntary Guidelines for States: Development and Implementation of a School Environmental Health Program. The guidelines were mandated by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 and were developed in consultation with other federal agencies, states, school officials, and non-profit organizations. School environments play an important role in the health and academic success of children. Children spend 90% of their time indoors and much of that time is spent in school. Unhealthy school environments can affect children's health, attendance, concentration, and performance, as well as lead to expensive, time-consuming cleanup and remediation activities. These voluntary guidelines recommend six steps states can take to build or enhance a school environmental health program. The guidelines also include a model K-12 school environmental health program as a resource that states can customize and share with schools and school districts to help them establish, or enhance an existing, school environmental health program. The model program incorporates EPA's unique school health programs such as Tools for Schools, ENERGY Star for K-12 Schools and others, to help schools and school districts begin or enhance a comprehensive school environmental health program. To learn more about the guidelines, please visit: www.epa.gov/schools. If you have questions or are interested in working with us to promote healthy schools, please contact Cyndy Merse at (202)566-2970 or email@example.com.

Weak Revenge
Strong Forgive
Intelligent Ignore
Sorry, I swear the guy said trx 300k was ordered lol... Dad hooked me up w/that calc, 2 to 1 should get me close to 300k, but wondering if I should just put the 500k in to start with and thin it out as needed?
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
I think I may want to pick up these rtr kyosho rear tires for their new 1/7 buggy on 17mm adapters:
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
I did not forget about this... Just handling some financial issues, updates as soon a as possible...
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
Good i am looking forward to see the end product but like they say rome was not built in a day.keep up the good work rag and keep us posted......peace
Famous last words...watch this!!!!
I have it sitting on my coffee table, along with the body for my eventual rally that I am supposed to send to kwitty for paint, to remind me that my current financial obligations, as soon as they are resolved, are backed up by my rc financial obligations... Its tax time now. I pay taxes, not get a refund. Trying to come up with Christmas, and taxes, during the slowest time of the year for my business= 100 hr work weeks. The light is at the end of the tunnel, and I am 1/2 way thru...

By the way, those kyosho tires suck and I wont be getting them. Made out of hard plastic or something..
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
Yeah dude times are hard with me as well with christmas and my 2 girls birthdays at the start of feb and only 3 days apart so no treats of me until thats all done.and it sucks that the kyosho wheels are not very good but i know you will find something better....peace
Famous last words...watch this!!!!
The wheels may be usable, but the tires are horrible. They were horrible in Jangs review and were like driving on ice. I may still get the 17 mm wheels and cut some masher 2.8's to fit them as I likethe look of them.
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
Those wheels with the mashers on with look so awesome and grip like dog poo to a blanket sorted ....peace
Famous last words...watch this!!!!
^^^^^^^ lolz
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
Interesting build rag! Cant wait to see more!
Build, Bash, Clean, Repair, Repeat..
Maybe start a thread about it???
Well I spent 3 hrs re oiling the 3 diffs, and rebuilding the shocks last night.
60wt/50wt oil in the rear/ft shocks respectively.
I mixed 100k/50k/500k wts to get 150k ft/ 75k rear/ and 350k center. Wont know how that will work till I get to run it.
About 1 to 2 wks till I have parts money so just doing what I can with what I have.
A bud down at yellow has some stock parts he is gonna give me, hope I get to see him. I may be able to put this thing together enough that it looks like something. My camera is bored.
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
Watching this build rag!! Cant wait to see it take shape.
Build, Bash, Clean, Repair, Repeat..
I picked up some towers, arms, and assembled it into a roller shape. Have the electronics laid out also. Have decided to use a lexan chassis cover. I wont have to worry about heat with that motor on 3s, and my trucks dont see water... And I can paint it!
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
I sorta got a roller!
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
Heres the layout of the 'lectrics:
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
Now its starting to come together! That castle motor looks big when the rest of the electronics are in. Is there any reason why you aren't using the receiver box? Also, where is that rear body mount from, some traxxas nitro? Your build is looking good so far.
Anza Slash VXL
Rustler VXL
Now the driveline
I had some steel outdrives from my evil bandit build. I used the old style 2wd female 1/2 shafts, and used the male hd 4wd half shafts on the front:
A guy at my small carpet track was running a tekin 550 system with all 4 drive shafts this way and never had problems. I figure I will try these on the front, and if they fail, just upgrade the other parts to hd 4wd shafts.
The rear are stock 4wd shafts:
Now to restate that I will be running 4-6s 1/8 scale 1800 castle motor on 3s. A milder than stock power curve with 25-30 mph speed, with no gearing/temp issues is my goal. The stock shafts should be able to handle this power no problem.
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
My trucks dont see water. The electronics fit so nice, no room for the box. The chassis will use a lexan chassis cover. My only issue will be sealing the receivers open ports to keep dust out. Think I can smash some modeling clay into the unused servo ports to keep dirt out of it.
I like the mmp on its side. That fan may never come on, but at least there should be a "bit" of clean air under the cover for it to pull from.
EDIT: That motor is the same size as the 2650 kv castle. Same size can.
Last edited by rag6; 01-21-2013 at 11:54 PM. Reason: Missed another ?
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
One other pic... I am not limited to this power system. I have more choices:
Its a 4pole 4600 castle for 2s, and a 3000kv for 3s if I want to run a faster truck. I have to solder on the 6.5mm bullets to the installed mmp, but have the other mmp with the 4mm bullets to try the other motors if the planned powerplant does not work out for some reason.
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
Nice to see some progress dude its going to be one fine machine rag and have you made your mind up on wheels and tyres???....peace
Famous last words...watch this!!!!
not yet, but leaning toward the new mashers and those 3.2 kyosho wheels
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
Dude that paint job is sick and after a few weeks tell us what you think of that body......peace
Famous last words...watch this!!!!
This is one of my best. All I did was apply the window masks, and spray lol. I was lazy on a hot day. I am really starting to dig it. It looks like its re-entering the atmosphere.
The body it self has many sharp edges and crisp 90° angles. These will be crack points and will need some attention over time.
I had the checker stripes left over from my Taxi sprint car, and the AVID decals from my last purchase. I found some old school trx stickers in my box also. My only regret is not putting silver in the bed.
I know only use Tamiya spray cans. Gave up on Pactra. The nozzles "spit" too much.

I think the black in the bed gives it more depth but still its an awesome job dude I need to do a bright colour instead of dark ones all the time........peace
Famous last words...watch this!!!!
Being that the bed is painted on the outside. I can still change that part to silver. I will decide once I get wheels for it.
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
I ordered strc c-blocks, rear carriers and center bearing support.
I was looking at some tekno stuff:
and this dusty cover:
How good is the cover, and how durable are the tekno plastic parts?
EDIT: Also ordered these:

Love those wheels rag what make and size are they dude ????......peace

J concepts tense sct rims.
I think I am gonna put a set of tires from the helion invictus 4wd mt on them. They got a good review from Jang. At Hobbytown, I checked them out. Not as hard as talons and not as soft as my 2.8 mashers. These may be just what I am looking for for a more track basher/on road basher mt tire. Now the tire beads should match up with the different inner and outer rim diameters. I have to wait till the rims come in at the shop to match them up to make sure. I think this will give a great look.
For our little friendly races at our Greenwood track, I have sct badlands, and want to try gladiators also for a medium pin.
spenniepoos, the rims are 3.0 outer and 2.2 inner on the helion rims according to Hobbytown. If these helion tires dont fit, I will find a cool 2.2 tire and just cut the inner bead to fit the tense rims.

Ya can't polish fertilizer...
Sounds like a plan rag please keep me updated with this cool idea......peace
Famous last words...watch this!!!!
Subbed. I want to see a wing with that Bulldog body
Me too. Have no idea how to get it to bolt on yet. With the short wb, any rear downforce will help in backyard racer mode(sct tires). It may hurt with the mt tires(too much wheelie).
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
I think a black wing would set the truck off dude and go with the bed at the back .......peace
Famous last words...watch this!!!!
If I could sandwich the body between the rear shock tower and wing using the body mounts somehow....
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
I just looked at jangs shapeshifter, and the plate with wing mount idea is cool, but I will have to cut up the rear of the body. I dont want to do that.
Ya can't polish fertilizer...
I like where this build is going!
Can't wait to see more.
So far so good man!
I want an avatar... 3000 posts here we go!

In Search of the Novel: Workshops
Workshop 8
Am I Getting Through?
In this summary, teachers examine their own effectiveness in helping students comprehend and appreciate novels and in setting them on the road to become lifelong readers.
Goals and Objectives
Upon completion of this workshop lesson, teachers will be able to:
- Develop strategies for measuring student work.
- Develop activities that allow students to demonstrate their understandings and insights without depriving them of the pure joy of reading.
Participants Comments and Observations:
Arthur Golden: You can be sure that the things that concerned me as a novelist wont be the things that concern an English teacher and thats as it should be. I also think theres such a thing as right and wrong interpretations. I mean that some interpretations really cant be justifiedyou know, you can say it, but you cant support it. If you can support it, then its a good interpretation. And I think a good novel opens itself to a number of them.
You know, testing and grading is something that I think is antithetical to teaching creative writing and is problematic when teaching English. Now Im not going say that English teachers are responsible if they grade. First of all they have no choice; they have to grade. But its a difficult proposition, you know, in a way. I think in some sense its almost better to grade on effort, perhaps.
Katherine Paterson: I remember this man who was a supervisor of reading in Canada and he went around telling the people that he supervised that children should enjoy what theyre reading, and the teachers were scandalized by the idea. They said, "But how can we test it?" And he said, "Does everything have to be tested? Why cant they just enjoy it?" And he said, "I couldnt get anywhere with them because they didnt know how they were going to measure it." I mean how can you measure the giggle, you know? Well, its so sad. What is learning about except learning to enjoy the riches of the ages and sometimes they wont be funny, but sometimes there should be a deep joy about it anyhow.
Orson Scott Card: I get an awful lot of email from students who are asking me, "Well, what is the theme of Ender's Game?" I have a form reply which says, "Your teacher did not assign you this so you could ask the author. The teacher assigned you this so you could ask the book by reading it. So I would suggest that you go back to the book and discover a theme."
Teacher: You shouldnt walk into an English test, a literature
test, feeling tense about it. If you know the vocabulary, know how
to talk about character and what makes a character come alive in a
book, you can talk about setting or plot or theme. Then if youve
done the reading, you can answer the questions. Just think about it.
How was the character developed in this book? How was the theme developed
in this book? You can answer those questions. You know the vocabulary;
you know the story; answer the questions. And I love that. I think
its very liberating for the way it offers students opportunities
to think, instead of trying to memorize or worry about what page the
quote identification was on.
Teacher: The test is not going to measure how well you fail. If we have some measure of students involvement with the book, it will be not just an intellectual measure.
Teacher: Its feeling like a test. Thats where kidsafter you have all this great discussion and great exchanges and creative lessonstheyll always come down to. But I need a grade and I also know I want to know how Im being evaluated. And I guess for teachers, that is ultimately something that weve got to pass on in some concrete way. How do we bring all these elements together? Ive been teaching plot, character, and setting. What kind of a test, what kind of a measurement will help us know whether students have brought these different elements together in a way that weve all been talking about, that is humanizing, that is integrating, and that allows them to think critically on higher levels? And I will have some great concrete things that Ill ask kids to do. And once Ive had them do that, I look for repetitions. Anytime there is a pattern; there is a motif.

MATLAB® and Simulink® products for Model-Based Design and technical computing are the industry-standard tools for designing, implementing, and testing air, space, naval, and land systems. Aerospace and defense companies worldwide rely on these products in major programs, such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and Mars Exploration Rover, as well as for unmanned aerial vehicles and advanced wireless systems, such as software defined radio (SDR).
Model-Based Design with MATLAB and Simulink is a modular development approach that enables engineering teams to move from internal research and development (IRAD) to design and implementation in a single environment. Companies are using this approach to:
- Mitigate program risk by sharing system specifications, analysis, and test data
- Reduce costly rework through early simulation of design
- Promote reuse by interfacing with existing tools, simulations, and legacy software
- Leverage new technologies by moving directly from IRAD to production
- Research emerging technologies such as cyber-physical systems

Home Page Chess Life Online 2014 October A Weekend of Chess Fun: US Amateur Teams
|A Weekend of Chess Fun: US Amateur Teams
|February 15, 2013
Over President's Day weekend (February 16-18) the "chess party of the year", the US Amateur Team Championships, begin in four locations.
The US Amateur Team East, also known as the World Amateur Team is set in Parsippany, New Jersey. CLO coverage will include tidbits from Texas Tech Program director Al Lawrence, who will also be contributing an article for the magazine. We'll also have US Chess Scoop coverage, featuring another video by Jason Smiles, a chess afficiando who stopped by the Amateur East for the past two years to learn about structured tournament competition and preparation.
Betsy Dynako will cover the US Amateur Team North in Schaumburg, IL for CLO and Chess Life Magazine. Find event details at the registration page and at chessweekend.com.
Advance entries include WI Chess Academy led by GM Josh Friedel and strong youth teams such as the The Illini Schmakelers with Eric Rosen, Sam Schmakel, Michael Auger and Akshay Indusekar. The Schmakelers includes three students at The University of Illinois (Pan-American co-champs) as well as Sam Schmakel, who was just featured in a Chicago Tribune article. Darrian Robinson will lead the U of Chicago A team. Lindenwood University will also bring two teams, while GMs Andre Diamant and Anatoly Bykhovsky of Webster University lead two teams.
The US Amateur Team South will be held in Sunrise, Florida. Organizer Jon Haskel said, "The Presidents are waiting for the players. No rain in the forecast, but the highs will "only" be in the 70's." See a list of preregistered teams here.
CLO coverage of the South will include a piece by award-winning writer and chess Mom Melinda J. Matthews, whose son Nicky Rosenthal is participating in the fourth-seeded team.
The U.S. Amateur Team West will be held near San Francisco in Pleasanton. Organizer Salman Azhar said, "Festivities include a scholastic one-day event as well as 2-day and 3-day schedules for the open event. There are many other teams still registering but the juniors have shown clear intentions to send a clear message to the adults in the area."
Last year Berkeley Chess's Forfeit by Disconnection won the event. This year the two top-rated teams, Bay Area Chess BAC Attack (Wheeler, Viswanadha, Lu, Virtanen) and Sicilian Mafia (Panchanatham, Beilin, Vasudeva, Jangle), are composed of the top juniors in the area. See links to advance entries, online registration, and more info at Bay Area Chess.
If you plan to play in a US Amateur Team event, good luck! Send games and memories to [email protected] or share with us on twitter and facebook.

Ameren Holds Exercise for Emergency Responders
LAKE OZARK - Representatives of nine counties along the Osage River met with federal, state, and local emergency response units for a functional exercise Wednesday.
Click here to see photo gallery.
The exercise was a simulation a flood of Truman Dam leading to a failure of Bagnell Dam. The emergency units created responses to the simulation, and then critiqued their performances.
Alan Sullivan, a consulting engineer for Ameren at Bagnell Dam, said there is nothing to worry about with the dams.
"We do not expect any problems with the dams," Sullivan said. "All of our inspections and testing show that Bagnell Dam is very safe and Truman Dam is very safe. But it's always good to have emergency plans that would be in place in case...the unthinkable ever happens."
This type of exercise happens every five years. The nine counties present were represented by their emergency management directors.

Ron Paul appeared on Larry King Live on CNN this evening along with Ben Stein and Sheila Jackson Lee to discuss the recent thwarted terrorist attack. After Paul gives his now famous view that they "attack us because we are over there" Ben Stein calls Paul antisemitic which solicits a demand for an apology by Paul. Paul characterizes it as a "vicious attack".
Stein's reaction is quite reminiscent of Rudy Giuliani's reaction during that first debate back in 2007.
The two continue arguing over one another for nearly the rest of the entire segment. King ends by saying they will all be back for tomorrow evening's show.
