Volume 19 Issue 9 | July 14- - 20, 2006
Banking on two new Chinatown hotels
An eight-story, 49,000-square-foot Best Western hotel is being built on the southwest side of Grand St. and Bowery in Chinatown. Ran Oron, founder of Roart, the architecture firm designing the building, said the hotel will be architecturally unique because its being built atop two existing banks, Chase and North Fork (soon to be Capital One).
The hotel should be completed in 2007, Oron said. The lobby will be on the second floor, and 102 rooms will be built from the third through eighth floors. The building formerly had four stories, with offices on the second through fourth floors. According to the Department of Buildings, the expansion is as of right.
The owner of the site is Philip Rudnick of Hanbee Realty, located in Flushing. Rudnick is also planning a 60-room Comfort Inn on Chrystie St. between Hester and Canal Sts.

Dear Members,
My dear friend Dr.Han Tun gave this article to me with Pali:
Here is another story about the sexual misconduct. It is the background story for Dhammapada Verse 60.
Meanwhile, King Pasenadii, obsessed with sexual desire, could not sleep, and kept thinking out how he would get rid of the husband in the morning and take his wife. At about midnight, he heard some eerie sounds; actually, these were the doleful voices of four persons suffering in Lohakumbhi Niraya . Hearing those weird voices, the king was terrified. Early in the morning, he went to the Buddha, as advised by Queen Mallikaa. When the Buddha was told about the four voices the king heard in the night, he explained to the king that those were the voices of four beings, who were the sons of rich men from Baaraa.nasii during the time of Kassapa Buddha, and that now they were suffering in Lohakumbhi Niraya because they had committed sexual misconduct with other peoples' wives.
Lohakumbhi Niraya is described in MN 130 Devaduuta sutta as follows:
"Next the wardens of hell take him feet up and head down and plunge him into a red-hot metal cauldron, burning, blazing and glowing. He is cooked there in a swirl of froth. And as he is being cooked there in a swirl of froth, he is swept now up, now down, and now across. There he feels painful, racking, piercing feelings. Yet he does not die so long as that evil action has not exhausted its result."
It took the four men from Baaraa.nasii who were suffering in Lohakumbhi Niraya, 30,000 years to be swept slowing in the swirl of froth of red-hot metal to reach the bottom of the cauldron, and another 30,000 years to be slowly swept up to the surface, where they could see each other for a fleeting moment. Each one wanted to speak a verse but before they could get past the first syllable they were sucked down gain. The four verses that the four men would like to speak started in Pali with "Du", "Sa", "Na" and "So". These four words were the ones heard by King Pasenadii.
The four verses that they wanted to speak were as follows:
(1) "Dujjiivitamajiivimha , ye sante na dadamhase;
Vijjamaanesu bhogesu, diipa.m naakamha attano."
[Although we had great wealth we did not give anything to other people. We did not do meritorious deeds that would have been our island of refuge. Instead, we had lived an evil live.]
Du: Dung-like life we lived,
No willingness to give,
Although we could have given much,
We did not make our refuge thus.
(2) "Sa.t.thivassasahassaani, paripu.n.naani sabbaso;
Niraye paccamaanaana.m, kadaa anto bhavissati."
[We have been suffering in this hell for sixty thousand years. Without respite we had suffered. When will we finish our suffering?]
Sa: Say, the end is near?
Already 60,000 years have gone
Without respite the torture is
In this hell realm.
(3) "Natthi anto kuto anto, na anto pa.tidissati;
Tadaa hi pakata.m papa.m, mama tuyha~nca maarisaa."
[O friends, for the evil things we had done, the sufferings have no end for you and me. When will it end? There is no end in sight for us.]
Na: Naught, no end near, Oh, would it end!
No end in sight for us.
Who once did misdeeds here
For me, for you, for both of us.
(4) "Soha.m nuuna ito gantvaa, yoni.m laddhaana maanusi.m;
Vada~n~nuu siilasampanno, kaahaami kusala.m bahu.m."
[When I am released from this hell and if I were to be reborn as a human being, I will listen to the wise people, and observe siila, and will do a lot of meritorious deeds.]
So: So, could I only leave this place
And raise myself to human realm,
I would be kind and moral too,
And do good deeds abundantly.
Then, King Pasenadii Kosala came to realize the depravity of the deed and the severity of the punishment. So, he decided then and there that he would no longer covet another man's wife. "After all, it was on account of my intense desire for another man's wife that I was tormented and could not sleep the whole of last night," he reflected. Then the king said to the Buddha, "Venerable Sir, now I know how long the night is for one who cannot sleep." The young man who was close at hand also said, "Venerable Sir, because I had travelled the full distance of a yojana yesterday, I, too, know how long the journey of a yojana is to one who is weary."
Combing their two statements, the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:
Dhammapada Verse 60.
Diighaa jaagarato ratti,
diigha.m santassa yojana.m.
Diigho baalaana sa.msaaro,
saddhamma.m avijaanata.m.
Long is the night to one who is wakeful;
long is (the journey of) one yojana to the traveller who is tired;
long is samsara (round of rebirths) to the fool;
who is ignorant of the true Dhamma (the Teaching of the Buddha).
******* Please read "The King's Bad Burning Love" if you want to know the complete story!*******
Love Buddha's dhamma,

Yes, a horrible story! It is one of the most memorably horrifying Buddhist stories I've ever heard.

Re: Pali: Du Sa Na So
Many thanks, yawares.
This is a very disturbing story but I am grateful for the context to the Dhammapada verses. We should all be grateful that we have the opportunity to learn from other people's mistakes, rather than learning from our own mistakes.

Child dead, mother's boyfriend charged
Prosecutors say a young girl has died at the hands of her mother's abusive live-in boyfriend.
Stephen Demond Odom was indicted by a Jefferson County grand jury March 14 on two counts of injury to a child, one a first-degree and the other a second-degree felony.
According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by The Examiner, on Jan. 15, 3-year-old Jakyra Leatrice Henderson died while in the custody of Odom, who was living with the young girl's mother at the time.
"Subsequent autopsy revealed the child died as a result of complications of blunt force trauma of the abdomen," the affidavit said. "Dr. Brown observed a laceration of the liver and severe injuries about the organs of the stomach."
The doctor also noted some of the child's injuries were older with a small amount of "fresh hemorrhage" around the child's older stomach injuries.
"Dr. Brown stated the injuries were consistent with a blow to the stomach, a blow with a twisting of the fist, or a pressing in of the abdomen with a forceful twisting of the fist. The manner of death was ruled a homicide," the affidavit said.
At least one witness — a young child — told police he was in his bedroom when he heard Jakyra crying and said he peeked into the bathroom to check on the young girl, and that is when he saw Odom punch Jakyra in the stomach, according to the affidavit.
Odom was arrested April 3 and is awaiting trial in the Jefferson County Jail on a $250,000 bond. He has requested a trial by jury, which has been set for Jan. 13 in Judge John Stevens' Criminal District Court.

Yale Topped Blue Devils In Overtime Last Year
- Yale-CCSU Live Stats
- Yale Statistics
- Central Connecticut Statistics
- Reese Stadium Information
- WTNH NewsChannel 8 Weather Forecast
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Are you ready for some soccer? It isn't often that the Yale women's soccer team plays on a Monday, but tonight is the exception. The Bulldogs host Central Connecticut at 7 p.m. at Reese Stadium, and it looks like the weather will cooperate.
Persistent thunderstorms in the New Haven area forced Saturday's game with Harvard to be postponed after the teams had played a scoreless first half. The game has been rescheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 3 p.m. at Reese Stadium and the teams will start over. As a result of the postponement, the Bulldogs have not played an official game since a 2-0 victory over Princeton in the Ivy League opener on Sept. 26.
Yale (5-3) has won two straight games, and all five of its victories this season have come by shutout. Becky Brown leads the Bulldogs with 18 points (7 goals, 4 assists). Freshman Kristen Forster has a team-high five assists. Ayana Sumiyasu has posted three shutouts in goal and has a 0.60 goals against average.
The Blue Devils (4-5-1) bring a two-game winning streak to New Haven. CCSU blanked Bryant 2-0 on Friday. Beth Lloyd and Brittany Emin scored in the win. Leah Blayney leads the Blue Devils in goals (5) and assists (4).
Yale edged CCSU 3-2 in overtime last year at Reese Stadium. Natalia Mann scored the winning goal on a penalty kick late in the second overtime period. The Bulldogs have won all 12 meetings with the Blue Devils.

In a Glass Cage (US - BD RA)
Gabe revisits the best pedophile Nazi war criminal revenge movie ever made...
A one time Nazi doctor, Klaus (Günter Meisner) continued his horrific torture and murder habits during his exile in a remote village in Catalonia. His final victim is a young boy, who he murders following an assumed bout of torture and likely rape. Overwhelmed with guilt, Klaus attempts suicide by jumping from a high tower. He survives the fall and, unable to breathe, is confined to a glass-windowed iron lung. Years later, Klaus is cared for by his wife Griselda (Marisa Paredes), and their young daughter Rena (Gisèle Echevarría). Depressed by her lot, Griselda hesitantly accepts help from a young man named Angelo (David Sust) after Klaus sees him and demands he be allowed to stay. What she doesn't know is that Angelo is the now-adult witness to Klaus' final crime, who as a boy endured a grueling sadomasochism relationship with the ex-Nazi.
In the early days of the internet I was still a burgeoning horror fanatic, and spent a lot of my web-time in search of suggestions from more knowledgeable horror fanatics. This led me to a Geocities-style website (if you don't remember those you are so young) I believe was entitled 'Losman's Lair of Horror', or something along those lines (I can't actually find it anymore, so I assume it has gone the way of the dodo). This site housed a subsite that listed particularly disturbing movies from different genres, not just straight horror, and briefly described what made them worthy of disturbing note. These included mainstream psychological thrillers like Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, avant garde art house oddities like Alejandro Jodorowsky's El Topo, splatter favourites like Jackson's Meet the Feebles, independent, cheapo trash like Leif Jonker's Darkness, and truly hardcore filth like Mou Tun-fei's Men Behind the Sun. I wrote myself a list, stuck it in my wallet, and whittled my way through it over a period of probably three years. Only a handful of films eluded me in the pre-DVD era, including Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood, which eventually hit DVD in 2002, Dusan Makavejev's Sweet Movie, which got a Criterion release (!) in 2007, and Agustín Villaronga's In a Glass Cage (aka: Tras el Cristal), which Cult Epics originally released on DVD in 2004.
In a Glass Cage is exactly the kind of controversy-stirring, art house horror film you expect it to be based on its plot description and reputation. It moves at a hypnotizing, deliberate pace, is edited with a strange rhythm that creates psychological dissonance, and its studious, steel photography disturbs on a subtle, almost clandestine level. Despite the years of controversy that surround it, the film isn't actually all that explicit, which isn't surprising based on its enduring critical popularity (the most brutally violent movies are usually only acclaimed in incredibly specific circles). The imagery is unmistakably grotesque, and the concepts are plenty perverse, but the real depravity is meticulously obscured from view, and our imaginations are left to fill out the remainder. The unrest isn't found in viscera, but ideas, and the inescapable atmosphere that is populated by deviant villains. Villaronga's cool visuals recall Pupi Avati's House with Laughing Windows, and the passive perversions of Pier Paolo Pasolini's even more notorious Salo: 120 Days of Sodom. There's a sense that the director took some inspiration from Mario Bava as well, but he's not as interested in lavish colours or baroque decorative elements. He experiments with gothic sensibilities towards the climax, but is more focused on creating a more subtly eerie atmosphere for the bulk of the film, which in turn sees him better earning the more straight-laced horror.
In a Glass Cage works as an organic and subtle descent into a psychological abyss, but in experiencing the film a second time I'm actually more interested in approaching it as a puzzle in three parts. Early assets are found in a sense of worrisome ambiguity. It's difficult to assume anything for the first 20 or 30 minutes. Griselda and Angelo trade off roles as Klaus' protector and attacker, giving the audience the vague impression that perhaps she'll be a willing participant in future violence, or that perhaps he isn't after the same retribution we assume he will be. This is all arguably moot, and our allegiances are reset at the onset of the second act, but it preps the audience to sit on edge as the story moves into the more traditional middle section. Villaronga takes the second act into Italian giallo territory, as Angelo menaces Griselda from the dark corners of the villa. Here he ratchets tension with German Expressionist shadows, and calculated camera movement, then releases it in the form of flashy, stylized (though still not bloody) violence. Initially, I remember feeling like Villaronga is just throwing his audience a bone to keep them holding on as he drags them further into oddity and perversion, but this time I found myself respecting the break in style. The last act is a mix of existential loathing, the most upsetting, boundary-pushing, horror-show moments, and the aforementioned Bava/James Whale gothic elements.
Rena also becomes a more central character as the story progresses. She's a particularly compelling character I sort of missed out on the first time around, and yet another plucky kid in a long line of Spanish-made horror/thrillers that treat children as stronger, cannier, and sometimes more frightening creatures than adults, including Narciso Ibáñez Serrador's Who Can Kill a Child, Paco Plaza's The Christmas Tale, Isidro Ortiz' Shiver, J.A. Bayona's The Orphanage, and Guillermo del Toro's Cronos, The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth. Actually, outside the absence of some his favourite visual motifs, there's a lot here to assume that del Toro was a fan, and was perhaps at least somewhat inspired by In a Glass Cage when he made The Devil's Backbone. At the very least he snagged composer Javier Navarrete, and worked with him on both The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth.
This represents the first Cult Epics release I've reviewed (since most of the stuff they've sent me in the past has been too porny for DVDActive), and I'm already looking forward to more (assuming they aren't of the porny variety, of course). The studio's original DVD release was fine and dandy, but the film was so dark it was hard to discern the actions of certain scenes. This new transfer exhibits the usual signs of age, and features some basic film based artefacts, including grain, small white flecks, frame wobble, and some strobing effects, but is otherwise incredibly well maintained and cleaned. The wobble and strobe are easily the most noticeable issues outside the overall darkness (which cannot be avoided given the source material), but neither are they particularly overwhelming. Digital artefacts are minor, and don't appear to be the effect of DNR or any other artificial means of covering up inherit impurities. The darkest scenes tend to be grainier, but even at their worst these still feature discernable basic details, and sharp enough black separation. The sharpness of the image isn't a huge factor in the wide shots based on the stark, sterile nature of the backgrounds. There are a few layered set pieces and complexly textured wall decorations (Griselda's room is easily the most complex set in the entire film), and these appear basically clean, if not a bit rough. The extreme close-ups fare a bit better, appearing quite sharp, and about as lifelike as one can expect from such a stylized presentation. The bulk of the film is coated in steely blue hues that pervert skin tones, backgrounds, props and wardrobes, turning them either greenish or purple. Even the costumes are largely made up of black, white and blue. Only the brightest and most vibrant highlights (a red robe, a yellow clock, a green apple) are able to pop out from the wash, which gives them all the more power. Black levels are well represented, and contrast levels appear to be accurate without more than a hint of edge enhancement. The contrast balance is especially successful during the more plainly gothic, smoke-laced moments that finish out the film.
With this new transfer comes a new 5.1 remix, though Cult Epics also includes the original 2.0 mix, and both mixes are presented in the form of uncompressed DTS-HD Master Audio tracks (both in the original Castilian Spanish). First the bad news. The dialogue, which is a bit mushy and slightly distorted on both mixes (distortion largely occurs on heavily aspirated consonants), is slathered over the stereo speakers, rather than being appropriately centered. Often incidental effects that are appropriately ghost-centered on the 2.0 track are also spread inappropriately over the front channels. Though the 5.1 track better presents Javier Navarrete's mellow musical (including a wider spread and all around bassier warmth), the echo effect of the spread dialogue and effects became so distracting I changed over to the 2.0 track pretty early in the process, and didn't turn back. The 2.0 track features more overall sharp distortion, and doesn't spread some of the spookier ambience over the rear channels in the same manner, but is a generally more effective experience. The key thing here is to understand the diabolical way Villaronga plays with sound, juxtaposing natural sounds, specifically birds chirping, with the omnipresent hiss of the iron lung (when the lung stops working nature becomes louder), and this is plenty obvious on both tracks. It's unfortunate that fans are left to choose between Navarrete's music and natural dialogue, but I suppose it could be worse.
The extras on this and the matching DVD release appear to be all-new, and start with 'Exorcism of Agusti Villaronga' (35:20, HD), a 2011 interview with writer/director Agusti Villaronga, and actors Lluis Homar and Marina Gatell. Villaronga discusses his inspiration, his research into Nazi war crimes, writing the screenplay, themes, controversy, the trials and tribulations of casting, photography and colour, music, and his newer film Black Bread, which won him a Goya for best picture and director, and was selected as the Spanish entry for best foreign film at the 2011 Oscars. Homar discusses the basics of dubbing Günter Meisner, whose German accent was apparently too thick, and his thoughts on the film's power. Gatell, who doesn't appear in the film at all, talks a bit about working with Villaronga on Black Bread. The interviews are padded substantially with footage from In a Glass Cage and Black Bread. This is followed by more chatting from Villaronga in the form of a 2010 Q & A session (13:40, HD). This one is a little frustrating to watch, as a question is asked, Villaronga speaks, and then a translator re-speaks everything. Much of the same ground is covered.
Next up are three short films from Villaronga. Anta Mujer, from 1976 (22:30, HD encoded, but VHS quality), is an almost indecipherable art film that seems to be based on a legend or myth. Laberint, from 1980 (11:30, HD encoded, but VHS quality), is also demandingly arty, but more visually interesting, appearing somewhere between H.R. Giger and Jodorowsky. Al Mayurca, also from 1980 (23:30, HD encoded, but VHS quality), features something closer to a narrative, but still gives off a healthy Jodorowsky vibe in telling the pseudo-stories of about motherhood and religion(?). The extras are completed with a trailer.
In a Glass Cage certainly isn't for everyone, but its dark and disturbing material isn't treated as sensationalistic or exploitative as the synopsis, and might actually appeal to viewers that normally turn away from such stuff. It's certainly disturbing and art house, but it's also intriguing and impacting. Cult Epics has done right by this transfer. It's probably not going to win any awards, but it is quite true to the heavily stylized source material, and looks better than the already decent looking original DVD release. The soundtrack features some pretty big problems, unfortunately, but not enough to recommend against purchasing the disc, and fans are likely going to love the new extras.

Good info! Thanks jmm.
Being a spaniard myself, I got to see this movie when it was first released in Spain, and it left a mark on me, not so much for the material (I have never been easily shocked) but because of how solid and different this was for Spanish cinema.
I would love to add it to my collection, but the audio flaw seems to be quite serious and distracting, so I guess I'll give it a rental spin first; I am afraid all of the audiovisual issues stem from the fact that this is owned by dreadful spanish Filmax studios, that has one of the most terrible record in the whole world when it comes to DVD/BD releases.

KENNESAW, Ga. (Jan. 6, 2010) - Coming off a stunning seven-point loss at USC Upstate, the ETSU women's basketball team looks to regroup and snap a three-game losing skid when the Lady Bucs take on Kennesaw State on Thursday afternoon. Tip is set for 3 p.m. inside the KSU Convocation Center.
The Lady Bucs carry a 4-7, 2-1 mark into Atlantic Sun action, and are led by conference scoring leader TaRonda Wiles (Danville, Va.). Wiles, who has scored 20-plus points in the last five games and eight total, is averaging 21.4 points through 11 contests. In addition to Wiles, fellow senior and preseason player of the year selection Siarre Evans (Griffin, Ga.) has given ETSU a lift. Evans is one of three players in the A-Sun to be averaging a double-double (17.7pts/11.0rebs) and ranks fourth in the country with her eight double-doubles on the year.
ETSU has never lost to the Owls in its seven prior meetings, including a most recent 73-66 victory back on Feb. 26, 2008 in Johnson City. Evans finished the game with 26 points, 12 rebounds and six steals, and Wiles chipped in with 10 rebounds, eight boards, two assists and two steals in the seven-point conference win.
Kennesaw State enters Thursday's match-up with a 4-9, 1-3 record, and the Owls have lost five straight games. The Owls are led by the strong guard play of sophomore Angie Smith and senior Gia Lockett. Smith leads the team with 12.8 points per game and Locket is posting 11.6 and 3.0 steals.
As a team, Kennesaw State ranks ninth in scoring offense (59.2) and eighth in defense (71.0).
Fans unable to make the trip to Georgia can listen to all the action live, as "Voice of the Bucs" Jay Sandos will handle the play-by-play duties. Fans in Johnson City should tune into WKPT-AM (1590), WOPI-AM (1490) in Bristol, WKPT-AM (1400) in Kingsport. In addition, 94.3-FM in Kingsport, 97.9-FM in Bristol, and 97.7-FM in Johnson City will carry the game. Live video streaming is also available through ASun.TV and live stats will be offered through Kennesaw State athletics.

"Mainstream Linux distributions typically default to one of two desktop environments, KDE or GNOME. Both of these environments provide users with an intuitive and attractive desktop, as well as offering a large raft of multimedia software, games, administration programs, network tools, educational applications, utilities, artwork, web development tools and more. However, these two desktops focus more on providing users with a modern computing environment with all the bells and whistles featured in Windows Vista, rather than minimising the amount of system resources they need. For users and developers who want to run an attractive Linux desktop on older hardware, netbooks, or mobile internet devices, neither KDE or GNOME may be a viable option, as they run too slowly on low spec machines (such as less than 256MB RAM and a 1 GHz processor). This article seeks to identify the best lean desktops for Linux, for users that have old or even ancient hardware."

Do you really believe that?
Such are the pitfalls of hanging out in nooks like ours here at OSNews. Surrounded by others holding the same strong opinions on the same niche topics, in a community mostly disconnected from mainstream concerns, we can actually start seriously believing stuff like that. I'm thankful for the splash of cold water that I get each day from administering my XDMCP servers and supporting real business desktop users. We run Gnome on X terminals over 100 mbit lans. And none of my users have, at any time, said anything about screen updates being slow or that they don't like the file manager. They call me when they run into an actual problem that impedes their work flow, like a site's javascript not working with Firefox. Meanwhile, on OSNews, supposedly tech-savvy people complain that their work flow and creativity are impeded because:
- GTK+ redraws are allegedly sometimes perceptible
- X is network transparent
- Desktop Q isn't configurable enough and they can't use the keystrokes they learned in Word Star.
- Compiz doesn't work with their video chipset
- There aren't enough selections in the menus
- There are too many selections in the menus
- Their fonts aren't antialiased quite right
- Their power supply makes too much noise
- Someone put something in their Fitt's area
The list goes on. I'm thankful that my users are real people. I'd go nuts if they were OSNews readers. ;-)

So what are these ratings numbers? And what do they mean?
It's a great question. Ratings in disc golf are in many ways best thought of as a performance rating. They can be for a single event - or ratings can be combined over time to assess the performance trends of a player. For example a score of 65 may mean different levels of performance when gained at two different courses, and are thus non-comparable. However a round rating from each could be fairly compared and contrasted.
Personally, for most they can be used to gauge your progress over time, and are used many times for special events that make adjustments after scores are entered to provide a more even playing field in "handicapped" or "ratings based" events.
The real short answer is that a higher rating is better than a lower one. A number of 1005, for example, is very very good, and rarely achieved. 1000 is not an upper limit as there is no set limit on performance levels that are achievable.
The numbers listed for this event appear consistent for the variety of skillsets one would expect for this fun centered event.
If you are really interested in ratings and their use, the PDGA website (Professional Disc Golf Association) has all the details about how ratings work listed here.
**Note: Ratings gained at WestSound Challenge events are not reported or sanctioned by the PDGA as official player ratings. They are calculated and offered after our events as a benefit for personal skills evaluation.

Rep. Tom Reed, Camp Good Days Team up to Strengthen Cancer Research Reporting Requirements
Rep. Tom Reed and Gary Mervis, Chairman and Founder of Camp Good Days and Special Times announced Monday at the Falck Cancer Center at Arnot Health the reintroduction of Reed's legislation to strengthen cancer research reporting requirements to make research data more available and ensure taxpayer dollars are not being spent on duplicative studies.
"We are here today to make sure important clinical trial results are made available to all researchers so that we might improve care, increase the chances of finding a cure, and safeguard taxpayer dollars from funding redundant research," Reed said. "We are very happy to be here with Gary to continue our commitment to Cancer Mission 2020 and announce the reintroduction of the Clinical Trial Cancer Mission 2020 legislation my good friend Gary and I worked to compile last Congress. We're working together to help give patients a fair chance at beating cancer."
Gary Mervis of Camp Good Days said, "On behalf of all the children and families at Camp Good Days and the thousands who have supported and been involved with the progress of CANCER MISSION 2020 since we launched the effort in December 2010, we are so pleased that Congressman Reed is reintroducing this very important legislation. The reintroduction of this legislation enables us to move to the second phase of CANCER MISSION 2020, with a call to action, urging citizens, and our leaders, that finding the answers to cancer needs to be a priority and on the front burner. This legislation will also bring us closer to creating a much-needed collaborative and coordinated effort in the fight against cancer, so that the left hand knows what the right hand is doing."
The lack of enforcement in reporting clinical trial results led Reed to draft and reintroduce legislation that makes it mandatory for researchers to publish all data from clinical studies, whether the results are positive or negative. The bill establishes a national clearinghouse, under the auspices of the National Institute of Health (NIH) and includes penalties for researchers who do not comply.
"Knowing if a clinical trial failed is just as important as knowing if a trial is successful so millions of dollars are not wasted by other researchers attempting the same research efforts," Reed continued. "It's vitally important all trial results are shared so that we might better understand the results to provide better care and advance our shared goal of finding a cure."
Treating cancer costs the United States over $130 billion each year. Reed's bill ensures taxpayer dollars are being spent effectively and efficiently, preventing duplicative or redundant research and withholding future government support from those who fail to report their research findings. Grantees who receive federal funds to conduct research must submit clinical trial outcomes within 30 days of their discovery or face possible ineligibility to apply for future funding.

Ave Maria, FL – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, will be the celebrant and homilist at the Annual National Mass for Terri's Day Wednesday night, March 31 at the Ave Maria Oratory of Ave Maria University in Naples, Florida.
"On March 31, five years ago, Terri Schiavo died a court mandated and government enforced death," said Fr. Pavone. "I saw for myself, as I held her hand and prayed at her bedside, that this death was not 'peaceful' and 'beautiful' as euthanasia advocates want us to think. Moreover, as health care is placed more and more in the hands of the government, we have to be more vigilant than ever to protect the Terris of today and tomorrow."
"Terri's Day" was established by Terri's family and Priests for Life to foster education, prayer, and activism to counter discrimination against the disabled. We urge Churches, schools, organizations, families, and individuals to observe this day. Suggested prayers and activities are at www.TerrisDay.org.
The National Mass for Terri's Day will be held on March 31 at 5:00 pm, at 5040 Ave Maria Boulevard, Ave Maria, FL 34142. A light reception will follow.

JMU Nation, get a load of this
Bridgeforth Stadium expansion phase one complete
By Katie Rahme ('11)
Sept. 4, 2010, marked a new era in JMU athletics history when Bridgeforth Stadium, home of the football Dukes, opened its gates after the first phase of expansion, allowing alumni, friends and fans to gather and make lasting memories. Excitement around the football program has been building for many years and is giving alumni a reason to reconnect with the university.
Donna Harper ('77, '81M, '86Ed.S), a former student-athlete and current executive assistant to JMU President Linwood H. Rose, feels the momentum building. "The new stadium creates a wonderful element of excitement and anticipation for JMU sports," she says. "The opportunity to support athletics through membership in the Duke Club and attending games strengthens our commitment to student-athletes — their success and learning — and our commitment to JMU, so students might have the best education and experience."
A premier facility
Bridgeforth Stadium and Zane Showker Field is one of the premier facilities in the Football Championship Subdivision. In 2010, fans will be treated to an elevated main concourse, which includes additional restrooms, easier access to concessions, a new merchandise area and an overall improved fan experience for game days. The new grandstand was erected 40 feet closer to the field of play, providing a better view of the action for all.
Wider range of experiences to choose from
At the conclusion of the season, the expansion will move full steam ahead to add an additional 10,000 seats above the existing structure on the west side. For fans looking to experience the ultimate luxuries, the club level will feature an 8,000-square-feet climate-controlled club lounge with access to high-end food and beverages. Club seat holders will have exclusive access to the club lounge, and seats are being reserved now for the 2011 season.
Finally, the suite level will feature a private game experience with indoor and outdoor viewing capabilities along with full hospitality and catering for each suite.Don Parr ('84) adds, "There is no question that the whole game-day experience with the club room and club seats will be the ultimate experience for many Dukes fans. JMU can now offer a wider range of experiences to accommodate those fans who want a higher-end package."
High-level college football in a top-notch venue
With all of the upgrades to Bridgeforth Stadium, coming to a game will still be affordable for all. Michael Carpenter, assistant athletics director for tickets and customer relations, says, "The expansion of Bridgeforth is going to allow more fans to experience high-level college football in a top-notch venue. We're excited to offer a full variety of season-ticket packages for any budget. Options range from affordable family-plan packages to club seating with full hospitality. Season tickets include some great incentives for folks who reserve by Dec. 31, 2010."
Alumni support for athletics does not go unnoticed, especially in the eyes of Coach Mickey Matthews. "I look forward to the JMU fans rallying around the expansion of Bridgeforth Stadium and filling the seats in 2010, 2011 and the years to come. The JMU Nation has something to really be proud of, and our team feeds off the enthusiasm of our loyal fans."
Join fellow fans each week to cheer the Dukes to victory. Get your tickets now at JMUSports.com

How Romney Lost Despite Business Support
WSJ's John Bussey discusses how Mitt Romney lost the presidential election despite having large support from the business sector. (Photo: Getty Images)

Bob Strauss ... the late Bob Strauss elder statesman the Democratic Party usage of Democratic candidates ... then ... God ... you did business will never be with you ... that you cannot win if business is United against you ... I would say that this this was ... pretty closely United against Brock Obama ... what he wanted to was that tell us about the stated the name but then it was United against at the end or ever at getting administration diverse a lot of this is just four times for very different for years and I think that the two businesses looking at this and they're thinking about it ... exactly as you describe which is that here we are ... on the US seem to be a day after the election ... very much in same position as it were a day before the election ... they're deeply concerned about gridlock the fact that the Senate is probably more Democrats in the house is probably more Republican in the sale of a Democrat in the in the oven ... in the presidency ... the word about all the things she laid out before with Neil up to the deficit on the job Medicare are ... Sosa Security you just go down the mass immigration ... the ... regulation ... if all these concerns are still on the table ... with the concerned about is that ... it had ... been to succeed ... as of the beginning of ... not the solution ... to the beginning of the presidential campaign in twenty sixteen ... I when you're not to get the kind ... of compromise ... the result is that ... we also hoping ... that maybe President Obama takes another page that opened the campaign will ... buy into the center is as has put it in and after is ... that midterm election ... yet to experience ... it wants a better person to put that on to something else there ... this would take a break here and save it for the word we're getting is that while ... we have to clear the race for Brock Obama ... did Romney does not get conceding either Ohio or the present system wouldn't have to hang on for Wireless test run into it and then the concerns of those as a spokeswoman from the county and in Ohio and even entire it's a ... lot more to come and Republican and Democrat but I think that ... pretty much all the calculations ... are that the trajectory on number of books that are coming in from those areas to the Cuyahoga County in an all-time decaf ... so that's about fifteen percent out ... in Florida ... will come in the ... Democrat let's take a look at the Oeil numbers we had eighty two percent of the state ... the state's folks have now been counted ... and actually Romney is slightly ahead so this is no doubt what giving them was ... a little water concede Ohio you can see the presidency ... but when he's reading ... reading ahead in the boat ... would have to watch this one for a while to get into killer you're is the reason the AP in the other networks have called this race ... is because they know which precincts had not yet reported ... and near calculation is those precincts will bring the rates ... towards Brock a bomb and you can see ... not exactly a celebration going on and on the headquarters ... but there no doubt watching these Ohio numbers recklessly but let's go back to what we're talking about um because it's a very interesting point ... about what business is expected that the other lesson here is the reason I mention that Bob Strauss quote ... is that business is not in good over with ... the American public to be Mitt Romney was that they are God and yet he lost the election ... yes ... if you look it up public ... opinion surveys business is in a statement with the public that CEOs are not quite typically in certain industries the financial sector ... banks ... being the primary one of those ... and this administration alienated water is a snippet of ... the fat cat ... bankers ... comments of Obama set the end of two thousandnine ... at them particularly populist movements ... lie in ... it in his in his presidency ... he alienated a lot of business and ... never seem to have um ... a mechanism by which to increase business decision making in the White said in ... an outreach program to salaried Geritz ALM ... that was in its unit so we cover bought the cousins in coverage the business when you think that ... such a huge constituency that you have some kind of position within your ministrations ... more formal ... and this may be seventy on on the cap yes oh one other things we are are going to see in the next couple of months is a bunch of big business is a bunch of CEOs ... plane a much more active role in the public to pay increase of money they're going to get out there and really engage in this ... in this fiscal argument that we're about to happen ... but the effect ... yet ... um ... I think that well and I think it's enough to get the to do this to some degree ... the ministrations learning that lesson that businesses can step in ... to do in an organized way they're doing it by signing petitions by being more outspoken ...

8 Fun Facts About Octopi — Or Is It Octopuses?
Editor's note: This Care2 favorite was originally posted on May 2, 2014. Enjoy!
The octopus is one of nature's most delightful oddities: an eight-armed, wildly intelligent, oddly graceful creature that's fascinated storytellers, chefs and cephalopod fans for generations. How much do you know about my favorite sea citizen? Find out with these fun octopus facts.
1. They're arms, not tentacles
Despite what you've heard, the extremities of an octopus really are arms. An octopus has four pairs of them, and they all move independently, with a highly sophisticated nervous system — two thirds of an octopus' neurons are in its arms. This allows them to grasp and grapple potential prey and objects they want to manipulate much more easily, and it makes for a great dinner table story.
2. Octopi can fit through almost anything
As long as an aperture is large enough for an octopus' beak, it's on. Watch this amazing video of an octopus moving through a series of plexiglass tubes, which showcase the animal's incredible muscles as it slips through quarter-sized openings. That trait comes in handy for octopi living in captivity, who have been known to confound zookeepers with their escape skills.
3. My, what tasty suckers you have, dear
Octopi have a pretty impressive set of incredibly strong suckers, but did you know that they can taste objects through their suckers? This helps them get a better sense of their surroundings, discriminate between friend and foe, and, you know, get a preview of dinner.
4. Octopi use tools
Tool use is extremely rare among animals, and it's kind of a big deal. So when octopi were observed building shelters for themselves out of coconut shells, their tiki style made humans sit up and take notice. The animals are clearly making a conscious decision to carry and use the shells, illustrating that they understand tool use and know how to use the environment around them to their advantage.
5. Octopi can regrow their arms — but arms can't grow into octopi
You might already know this, but it bears repeating: if an octopus loses an arm, she can regrow it, which is a pretty nifty trick. Octopi can actually drop their arms to confuse predators, although this is a plan of last resort since growing new ones takes a while. Thanks to the concentration of neurons in their arms, the detached arm can keep wriggling in a rather convincing way while the octopus escapes to safety.
6. The more to love you with
Octopui have a grand total of three hearts. Seem like too many to you? Two of them are devoted exclusively to circulation throughout the body, and the third circulates oxygen through the organs. While octopi swim, this third heart doesn't beat, which cuts down on their stamina, which explains why crawling through the water is preferred to cruising.
7. Octopus ink is an irritant
While cooks use octopus ink — along with inks from other cephalopods like cuttlefish — and it's by no means toxic, it is an irritant. It's designed to confuse enemies not just by clouding the waters, but also mangling the vision, sense of taste, and smell of predators so the octopus has time to get away.
8. Octopuses, octopi or octopodes?
Ah, the great debate. "Octopus" comes from Ancient Greek, which had a perfectly acceptable plural form: "octopodes." English speakers (via Latin) turned it into "octopi" but many authorities generally agree that "octopuses" is the most reasonable pluralization. Where in the heck did "octopi" come from? In Latin, the "-us" ending would be pluralized with an "-i," but since this word isn't Latin, the point is moot. Unless, of course, you just really like saying "octopi."

Division of Business holds meeting of the minds
PLAINVIEW – More than 20 full-time faculty members representing Wayland Baptist University's Division of Business met in Plainview last week. The meeting, a first of its kind for business professors, brought together most of the full-time business faculty from Wayland's 13 campuses.
This type of meeting, which has been encouraged by Wayland's administration, has taken place in the divisions of religion and education for several years, giving professors system wide a voice in providing a better educational product.
"I was very pleased with the interaction and level of discussion," said Dr. Otto Schacht, Chairman of the Division of Business. "This really could have gone either way. I feel much more confident now of what we can do in the Division of Business."
The major topics of discussion included setting system-wide course competencies, curriculum, syllabi and textbooks in order to streamline and standardize course offerings throughout the system.
Dr. Schacht said communication within the group will be ongoing and they plan to meet once a year.

Yes, but Kotoura's family, by all indications appears to be loaded and very rich. Which makes me wonder whether her Father is a typical Salaryman, or more than an ordinary Salaryman. For all we know, he could well be in the Executive suite - though perhaps things are only slightly better at that level in Japan.I don't think that Middle Class concerns are applicable to Kotoura's situation.

If he were very rich, he wouldn't have to go to work/never be in a suit/and would be taking his daughter to the doctors office/and able to help her out.
it obvious that they are well off because he WORKS HIS ASS OFF to get and maintain that...
There are a lot of things you are missing and assuming that they are well off because they aren't living in a dump lol, but to have that kind of place the man would have had to work his ass off for YEARS, and at that level would have to work 2-3 times as hard to keep that standard of living for his family period. With all the taxes levied on the Japanese, crap economy that's been going on for 40 years there, business culture that he has to deal with, all of the stress and crap that he has to deal with to keep his family in a "well off" apartment there is more than enough to give him a pass.
The mother could have just spent 20-30 minutes sitting with her daughter at home, figure that esp shit out, and tell her to shut the hell up in a nice way. . .then problem solved(well not really, as it would have to be an ongoing thing). But she was a bad mother. When kids have mental issues in Japan such as asbergers or autism, the MOTHER takes care of that and the kid because the father is working.
But yeah, even if he were at a "high level" he still has to work his ass off, and much more so than an "ordinary salaryman." it's just that simple. Can't really expect him to stretch himself that thin, when his mother is just sitting around, telling her daughter she should have never been born wtf.

A very impressive entry episode, as many have already said. Strangely, I find the design and animation very fitting with the story this show was trying to tell. Sure it is not the prettiest thing animated. However, with that style of animation, I think we won't find it odd when the transition between comedy and drama taking place later.
In fact, I think it served the intention of the depressing drama very well, it is indeed very ugly when it's bad. Nn contrast, it's surprisingly fluffy and cute when things are brighter. The difference was shown brilliantly and for me that's the best thing that happened this first week of the new season.

Poor Haruka, what awful parents.
The whole mind reading thing ruined her childhood.
First half was depressing, but then everything changed.
Manabe sure was a clingy friend, but also funny.
I thought this would be stupid and boring, I was wrong.
Will be watching this one!

A stalker is usually a bad thing (more so in real life than in anime, I admit) but since she could read his mind she would know that he was not some yandere creep. Just a normal creep. ^_^
Having someone read your mind is a good thing when you are really honest, but as the anime shows, most people aren't, and that's why they reacted so badly. I assume the supernatural club or whatever we see next episode will also feature such simpleminded people, although it would be interesting if they were not all like that.

I just want to add that the BGM in the 1st half of the episode was antonishingly touching, especially at that screaming moment, to mute her voice right as the track reacj its highest note was very clever and emotional. I haven't seen this particular use of sound directing for awhile now.
Spoiler for YT reation:

What a surprise! I didn't expect Kotoura-san to be like this after seeing some PVs several weeks ago. This anime is pretty well done and actually remind me of School Rumble's Yakumo who also has a similar psychic skill to read people's mind. I guess Yakumo is an introvert girl and that kinda saves her, while Haruka is extravert (basing this on her personality when she's still happy as a little girl) and her mind-reading skill caused her troubles. Ironically (is it the right word?), all the people, who called Haruka a liar, are lying to themselves. Haruka only told the truths and being a little girl telling the truths can be that bad, can't it? So I really can't blame Haruka.

Have to say that this was incredibly good given how often the same setup is played strictly for laughs.

Came for mind-reading ESP girl, stayed for the surprise of the season!
The first half of the episode was brilliant directed in the same way the opening minutes of "UP" was. That dramatic prologue/montage of Kotoura's life, that slow deconstruction of her life and the change from her cheerful nature to that cynical personality was one of the most heartbreaking things I've seen in recent memory.
Which made her interactions with Manabe in the second half so amazingly heartwarming as he wormed his way into her heart. The interactions between the two of them are just so charming.
Definitely going to stick around for a couple more episodes and see if this will deliver. This first episode showed a lot of promise.

Well it was a depressing back story for sure, but something at the back of my mind just scoffs at this forced drama. I get the idea that she knew she had these powers, but to just continuously run her mouth without realising the constant consequences just makes me less caring of the drama or the situation she puts herself into. At least the mood changed half-way thru, but I expect the drama would be back.

Pretty strong first episode, especially the transition from the first half to the 2nd half. Although the humor portions are a lot more typical. The imagination sections could really use some SHAFTing though. In fact, the series seems like a prime target for some Shinbo antics.
I actually didn't know this was supposed to be a love comedy so the transition really caught me by surprise. Although had they decided to Urobutcher it up I also wouldn't have minded.

whoo! that was something, I almost felt trolled on that first part thought it was some heavy stuff like Elfen Lied coming into the show without any prior knowledge or even previews. but damn I really liked that, especially that first meeting between manabe and kotourawhere the world literally broke apart for Kotoura.
in terms of the art don't really have much of a problem, proportion wise I think it's kinda average for Anime, so all's well for me. Kotoura-san so cute , really did feel sorry for her in the beginning.
for music waii!! it's Megumi Nakajima ? nice :Heh:
I can't help wonder though , the parents & grandparents kinda lacking in "common sense" or would that be pragmatism, I mean they should have just taught her how to be discreet about her powers. Albeit it would really be hard for those who have something to hide, to be around Kotura, ( and almost everyone does) , still they for me really are sucky parents to give up like that.
