History of Inclusion
Sex is a fundamental biological variable in biomedical research that must be considered from the very start. Rigorous science that produces key findings on the influence of sex in preclinical research can guide clinical studies and, ultimately inform clinical practice for women and men.
NIH has a rich history of inclusion. Factors such as sex/gender, race/ethnicity, age, and access to care all affect health. Including women and diverse populations in research (referred to as inclusion) is not just a matter of enrolling women and diverse populations in clinical studies but requires changing norms of how research is designed, long before a volunteer signs up for a study. Learn more about the history of inclusion at NIH.
- Background: A historical overview of the inclusion of women in clinical research at NIH
- Comprehensive Reports: Full reports on NIH's accomplishments and continuous efforts in monitoring the inclusion of women and minorities as participants in clinical research. The reports, beginning with the 1997 report, include narrative information, aggregate extramural and intramural data tables, as well as additional policy information.
- Policy Documents and Reference Materials: This listing provides current policy documents and references related to the inclusion of women in clinical research.
- Outreach Documents: Information on the inclusion, recruitment, and retention of women, men, and minorities as participants in clinical research. The documents help investigators to understand and comply with NIH's inclusion policies when planning clinical research studies and submitting an application for NIH funding.

Attraction Details :
When King Rama IV visited Amphoe Sao Hai , he ordered the renovation of this ancient temple and awarded it the distinction of being a royal temple. Legend says a bright crystal ball can be seen over the Wihan (or shrine hall) of Wat Khao Khaeo on some nights, a miraculous phenomenon produced by sacred objects entombed inside the Chedi or stupa.
Inside a small five-spired Chedi, situated between the bell tower and the main Chedi, resides an adorned Buddha image in the Palelai (Palilayaka) posture, as well as the Lord Buddha's footprint, both beautiful sights for locals and visitors.
The temple is located in Tambon Ton Tan , on the right side of the Pa Sak River, 6 kilometers from Sao Hai District Office.

The CHRISTUS Stehlin Foundation is hopeful about the results of these clinical trials, as CZ48 has been shown in pre-clinical studies to exhibit a broad spectrum of anticancer activity against a wide array of human cancers growing in nude mice with a striking lack of toxicity. CZ48 is also innovative in that it can be taken orally, and pre-clinical studies indicate that it has very few side effects. This makes its appeal even stronger for human cancer treatment.
"We have always felt that CZ48 holds tremendous promise as a cancer treatment, which is why we have worked so diligently to make it available," said Dr. Beppino Giovanella, laboratory director at the CHRISTUS Stehlin Foundation for Cancer Research. "It is our hope that CZ48 will continue the legacy of the foundation and bring renewed hope and life to people around the world who suffer from cancer."
About the CHRISTUS Stehlin Foundation for Cancer Research
The CHRISTUS Stehlin Foundation for Cancer Research has developed and supported many innovative and life-saving treatments for patients with cancer, including being some of the first to recommend a lumpectomy for women with breast cancer. The CHRISTUS Foundation also innovated the use of nude mice in cancer research. Nude mouse tests are now the final, non-human studies required by the National Cancer Institute for determining the effectiveness of potential anticancer agents. Many scientists around the world consider the nude mouse one of the 20th century's most significant breakthroughs in cancer research.
The foundation was established by Dr. John S. Stehlin Jr., a cancer
specialist and surgeon, with a specific and urgent mission: to find and
develop the most effective treatments for the patient who suffered from
cancer in the shortest period of time. In reaction to his mounting
frustration with the traditional approach to cancer treatment, he developed
a tripartnership concept between

PORTLAND -- After a long standoff with police overnight, Occupy Portland protesters retreated and began cleaning out their downtown encampments and leaving Sunday morning.
City dump trucks pulled up alongside Lownsdale Park and Chapman Square and protesters were filling them with tents, tarps and debris from their camps. By noon, city officials said enough trash to fill 46 dumpsters had been cleared from the parks.

Police helped clear out the parks and then installed tall fences around them, locking the public out.
Mayor Sam Adams said maintenance crews will work in the coming days to finish clearing and restoring the parks before they will be re-opened.

Several hurt in New York ferry accident
More News from Agence France-Presse
NEW YORK—A commuter ferry hit a pier in New York City on Wednesday, leaving "multiple" people injured, coast guard spokesman Charles Rowe said.
Rowe told the NY1 television network that the accident took place shortly before 9:00 am (1400 GMT) on Pier 11 in lower Manhattan, not far from Wall Street. "We don't know what the cause was," the spokesman said.
Police and firefighters were on the scene and evacuating the injured from the vessel on stretchers, television images showed.

NELLY SEEMED TO have come down, down baby, your street in a Range Rover from out of nowhere. In fact, his laid-back lope hailed from somewhere even more obscure than nowhere in the world atlas of bling-bling hip hop: St. Louis. And yet, even before his career received the official MTV imprimatur and Carson Daly finally started repeating the words Country Grammar to one of the nation's most powerful consumer groups of all time, Nelly's career arc already looked unmistakably like the waxing part of the Gateway Arch of his hometown.
But nobody comes from nowhere. Back in 1996, Nelly debuted like a young LL Cool J, his tough-but-cuddly persona soaking the independently released "Gimme What You Got" in both grit and charm. The single racked up regional sales of more than 5,000 units, many of whose owners would later dial the video to the MC's Universal-label debut, "Country Grammar (Hot Shit)," into near-constant rotation on The Box in the spring of 2000. (Either that, or Universal was springing for the calls--a common phenomenon on The Box.) And as Nelly slid in front of rows of parked Jeeps and Range Rovers and high-fived the biggest crowd of smiling Midwesterners since John Cougar Mellencamp celebrated his "Small Town" upbringing, that single bounced directly into urban-radio saturation.
Heard once, the call-and-response ode to smoking blunts outside with the crew sounds like a simple double-dutch chant ("Shimmy shimmy coco puff/Pass it all around"). Of course, no one with a radio has heard "Country Grammar" only once. Soon, the single reveals itself as a litany for living the good Southern life. Nelly's not just boasting about roaching for his own sake: He's lifting the chronic out of Snoop's tinted limo, out of Redman's Bricktown basement, and claiming spliff-passing as a down-home country tradition, as Southern as sipping mint juleps.
Okay, sure, Missouri has always seemed more Midwest than South to me, too. But cut the gung-ho tour guide some slack for trying to expand hip-hop's geography. For every hollow, heard-it-before boast that St. Louis is a city "where the gunplay ring all day," Nelly includes a thoughtful, heartfelt shout-out to someone as unexpected as fellow STL native Redd Foxx.
Crisply produced by Kevin Law and Fo' Reel's C-Love, the full-length Country Grammar, currently sitting atop the Billboard charts, doesn't stray too far from the title hit's good-thing-going. As Nelly bobs playfully between high and low cadences, musical partner Jason "Jay E" Epperson crafts pared-down Eighties-derived beats that give the MC the bed he needs to lay it down. "St. Louie" pops with a Eurosynth electro beat reminiscent of once-famous Norwegian popsters a-ha, while "Ride Wit Me" warps a DeBarge sample into a surprisingly fresh acoustic loop.
Nelly claims he's "not a solo artist," and posits St. Louis as a town with a viable hip-hop future. Performances from his hometown fellows St. Lunatics, certainly help make the case. ("Call the cops," they insist. "Lunatics about to steal the show.") Nelly's crew may not be a Wu-Tang in training, but they'll probably soon drop a second-string posse record that outclasses Tha Dogg Pound.
Still, as much as Nelly wants to spread the wealth, there's no denying the star quality of his effortless, graceful flow, or the charm of so guileless a newcomer to stardom that he sees fit to boast about having been seated next to Vanna White on an airplane. (Among the guests here, only at. Louis's own Cedric the Entertainer muscles his way into the spotlight, offering hilarious between-song skits.) Nelly's vision of St. Louis as the next vibrant hip-hop epicenter may not be entirely accurate. Hell, Nelly's vision of St. Louis as a Southern city may not even be entirely accurate. But even the most structured grammar sometimes finds it necessary to break its own rules.

I say stubborn because there were many situations where he should have hit a slice backhand when he was in a defensive position and instead chose to hit it flat and allowed his opponent to attack because it fell short in the middle of the court. Even when he was not on the defensive, he should have still changed up the pace a little so that his opponent doesnt get into a groove. There were other situations where his opponent was at the net, he was slighly on the run, and the best shot would have been a top spin cross court ball that would have given him more angle and either been a winner, or caused his opponent to dig down for the ball giving him plenty of time to recover. Instead, he hit flat with much less angle and ofcourse his opponent put it away.
There were also many occasions where he tried to be too tricky in his play. Instead of hitting it to the open court, he tried to hit it behind his opponent or wrong foot them, and they weren't fooled. A lot of these cases were when Alex was at the net or approaching the net, and not hitting it to the open court allowed his opponents to just stand there and hit passing shots or drill it at him for a weak volley.
I think something can be said for his fighting spirit though. He came back from being one set down in both matches. He won the second match and I think he probably could have won the first one if they played it out.
A little bit dissapointing to me since I was a big fan of his 2 years ago (especially his serve and forehand), but it seems like his level has been declining ever since.
Thanks for the analysis. I'm sure you're on the money with your observations. Maybe Feddie can get coach Whit to look at this.

In Cincinnati, chili is a tradition, a way of life, a member of the family. It's lunch and dinner and a first date.
The spicy, cinnamon-y smell causes the average Cincinnatian immediately to start salivating and tying on a bib.

The June 25th, 2013 edition of daily news for the Los Angeles Angels including Trout back in the MVP debate, Angels fans are not paying attention and much more... The Story: Mike Trout has re-inserted himself into the AL MVP debate against Miguel Cabrera... again. The Monkey Says: Trout, Cabrera and Chris Davis are all neck-and-neck in terms of WAR, but I have a hard time seeing the media supporting Trout for MVP when the Angels are playing so poorly. Whether you agree with it or not, the Angels are underachievers and the media writers will use that against him come voting time. The Story: LA Angels fans are reading and knitting at the Big A instead of watching games. The Monkey Says: Funny, but this happens at every stadium because for some reason people show up for the game even though they don't care about the game. This will all seem commonplace ten years from now when all ballparks have full wifi coverage and half the fans are staring at their phones and tablets the whole game. The Story: The Angels should be concerned about Jered Weaver. The Monkey Says: The concern is definitely cropping up, but there is no need to panic yet as we can still hide behind the excuse of Weaver being out for nearly two months with injury. The Story: Will the Angels be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline? The Monkey Says: They'd have to go on an amazing run to put themselves into a buying position at this point. The real question is will they sell and if so, how much will they sell? My hunch is they know they need to sell and will be rather aggressive in shopping guys going into free agency as well as any other guys they deem replaceable. The Story: The quietly excellent offensive season of Peter Bourjos. The Monkey Says: The regression is bound to come, but it seems like he has erased a lot of the doubt that his 2012 campaign created. Well, doubt related to performance. The doubt about him staying healthy is very much alive and kicking. [follow]

ClassicsOnline Home » PROKOFIEV: Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2 / Dreams, Op. 6
Sergey Prokofiev (1891 - 1953)
The precociously brilliant Prokofiev, high-priest of the ultra-modern, abrasive, pungent, witty, "wrong-note" pre-war avant-garde, had lessons as a child from Glière before going to the St Petersburg Conservatoire in 1904, aged thirteen, to study composition and other subjects with Rimsky-Korsakov, Lyadov and Nikolay Tcherepnin, and piano with Anna Esipova. Graduating ten years later, he visited London where he met Dyagilev; left revolutionary Russia for America in May 1918 (via Japan); and made Paris his base in 1922, becoming a focal point of the city's cultural ferment. Unable to strike lasting roots in the West, he returned with his family to Soviet Russia in 1936, at a time when Stalin's "social realism" reforms were directly opposing, censoring, and obliterating those very progressive and imaginative values for which he had for so long stood. Even compromising his style and vocabularly, modulating his condescending haughtiness, and producing such unquestionable masterworks of "new clarity" as Alexander Nevsky, War and Peace, Romeo and Juliet and the wartime Fifth Symphony, was insufficient to save him in 1948 from being accused (with Shostakovich, Khachaturian, Shebalin, Miaskovsky and others) of bourgeois "formalism": "the cult of atonality, dissonance, and disharmony ...[of] confused neo-pathological combinations that transform music into a cacophony, into a chaotic conglomeration of sounds ...[the] total negation of musical art". Prokofiev's last years were a quiet coda of apologia and ill health, his death (from a brain haemorrhage) overshadowed by that on the same day, 5th March 1953, of Stalin. Not until the cultural honeymoon of the Khruschev era, in a resolution from the Central Committee of the Party (28th May 1958), was he officially rehabilitated.
"In the field of instrumental or symphonic music," Prokofiev told Olin Downes of the New York Times in 1930, "I want nothing better, nothing more flexible or complete than the sonata form, which contains everything necessary for my structural purpose". The traditional rigours of symphony and sonata attracted him from childhood, many of his early sketches being usefully mined for later works. He wrote a Symphony in G Major in 1902, another, in E Minor, six years later; and at least seven apprentice piano or duo sonatas (1903-09). His First Symphony proper, however - the fresh, balletic D Major, Op. 25 - was a later manifestation, from 1916-17. In the shorter of his two autobiographies (up to 1937, written 1941, published 1956), we read: "I spent the summer of [post-February Revolution] 1917 in the country near Petrograd all alone, reading Kant and working a great deal. I deliberately did not take my piano with me, for I wished to try composing without it. Until this time I had always composed at the piano, but I noticed that thematic material composed without the piano was often better... I had been toying with the idea of writing a whole symphony without the piano. I believed that the orchestra would sound more natural. That is how the project for a symphony in the Haydn style came into being: I had learned a great deal about Haydn's technique from Tcherepnin, and hence felt myself on sufficiently familiar ground to venture forth on this difficult journey without the piano. It seemed to me that had Haydn lived to our day he would have retained his own style while accepting something of the new at the same time. That was the kind of symphony I wanted to write: a symphony in the classical style. And when I saw that my idea was beginning to work I called it the Classical Symphony: in the first place because that was simpler, and secondly for the fun of it, to 'tease the geese', and in the secret hope that it would prove me right if the symphony really did turn out to be a piece of classical music. I composed [it] in my head during my walks in the country ...the Gavotte had ...been written earlier, and later on, in 1916, I sketched the first and second movements. But a good deal of work still remained to be done when I returned to it in the summer of 1917. I crossed out the first version of the finale and wrote a completely new one, endeavouring, among other things, to avoid all minor chords ..." Scored for the same classical double wind / brass, string and timpani forces of Haydn's D Major Clock Symphony, with a triple-time minuet-Larghetto in A Major (the influence of Beethoven's Second?), the first performance was conducted by the composer in Petrograd on 21st April 1918, with members of the former Court orchestra who a decade earlier (under Glazunov's watchful eye) had rehearsed his youthful E minor effort. Some years later the popular Gavotte was re-worked for the first act of Romeo and Juliet: Prokofiev, like the baroque masters, was never one to waste a good tune.
At the opposite extreme of the emotional / expressive / dynamic scale, the "modernistic", urban-constructivist, mechanically-motoric, aggressively-climaxed two-part D Minor Second, Op. 40 (Paris 1924-25), is a work "made of iron and steel", brilliantly imaged for large orchestra. "Somewhat similar in outline to that of Beethoven's Sonata Op. III," this, according to Prokofiev, "turned out to be a long and complicated piece ... After an energetic [angular] first movement I wanted to relieve the tension at least in the beginning of the second movement which I had conceived as a [Dorian-type] theme with [six] variations [and coda, a reprise of the melody] and for this I chose a quiet theme [given to oboe] I had composed in Japan [June / July 1918]. But on the whole [it was among] the most chromatic of all my compositions. This was the effect of the Parisian atmosphere where complex patterns and dissonances were the accepted thing, and which fostered my predilection for complex thinking [e.g. the apotheosis of the sixth variation where the principal themes of both movements are cyclically unified] ... The Second Symphony," he goes on, "was performed on 6th June 1925, in Paris [conducted by Koussevitzky]. It was too densely woven in texture, too heavily laden with contrapuntal lines changing to figuration to be successful, and although one critic did comment admiringly on the septuple counterpoint, my friends preserved an embarrassed silence. This was perhaps the first time it occurred to me that I might perhaps be destined to be a second-rate composer. Paris as the undisputed dictator of fashion has a tendency to pose as the arbiter in other fields as well. In music the refinement of French tastes has its reverse side - the public are apt to be too easily bored. Having taken up with one composer they quickly tire of him and in a year or two are searching for a new sensation. I was evidently no longer a sensation". "If I could not make head or tail of it, what could you expect from the audience?" he wrote to Myaskovsky (4th August). "Schluss ! It will be a long while before they hear another complicated work from me... And yet somewhere deep in my heart I nurse a hope that in a few years it will suddenly become clear that the symphony is well constructed. Could it be possible that in my old age [sic, he was only thirty-four] and equipped with my technique in composition I have made such a mess of it, and this after nine months of the most gruelling labour?". Towards the very end of his life, he still thought well enough of the music to consider revising it (in three movements). But he never did. Its huge-limbed structure and frightening decibellic level is how he first conceived it.
Dreams, Op. 6, a symphonic tableau, and Autumnal, Op. 8, a symphonic poem for small orchestra, both date from 1910, between the composition of the A major Sinfonietta and the First Piano Concerto. Dreams "was intended for full orchestra. This was a 'pensive' opus, and rather limp. 'Such unsuccessful music can only be composed in one's sleep, quipped the critic of the Theatre and Sport magazine. Dreams was dedicated 'to the author who began with Reverie', an allusion to Scriabin's first orchestral composition. I had a great admiration for Scriabin at this period, especially for his Third Symphony, the first part of which I even arranged for the piano. However, there is no Scriabin influence in the music of Dreams. Autumnal is also written in a pensive mood, more sombre than Dreams. This can be traced to some Rachmaninov moods, mainly to his Isle of the Dead and the Second Symphony, to which it is related in key [E minor] as well. Like the Sinfonietta, Autumnal was revised twice [1915, 1934] and took final shape only twenty [sic] years later". The first performances of both works were given in 1911 in Moscow's Sokolniki summer park -"but with little success" Prokofiev tells us.

National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine
The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, known under several different names in the present century, has long had a special relationship with the music of Prokofiev. Once his international reputation was established, he often returned to his native Ukraine, whether as soloist or conductor or as a musician whose works formed the principal repertoire of a concert. There are those who still recall his return in 1927 as an accomplished composer, now sitting in the audience and listening to young David Oistrakh perform his Violin Concerto No. 1 for the first time. So upset was the composer by what he heard that he immediately went on stage, when the work was finished, and spent several hours sitting at the orchestra piano, criticizing the minutest details of the performance by both soloist and orchestra. In spite of this, Prokofiev returned again to Kiev until the circumstances of the Second World War and his final illness prevented him from doing so. Nevertheless musicians who were responsible for the first performances of many of Prokofiev's works during the final ten years of his life often travelled to Kiev to work with the orchestra. Mravinsky came with the Sixth Symphony, as did Samosoud with the Seventh. Other conductors and soloists involved in first performances of music by Prokofiev and who worked with the Kiev orchestra include Gauk, Malko, Neuhaus, Oistrakh, Rachlin, Richter and Rozhdestvensky.
The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine and Theodore Kuchar have continued the long association with the orchestral works of Prokofiev both in concert in Kiev and on tour. In addition to recording the complete cycle of Prokofiev symphonies, the orchestra has given the first performance in Kiev of a number of works by the composer that remained rarely performed under the Soviet régime as a result of their "Western" origins, works that include the Second, Third and Fourth Symphonies and the ballets The Prodigal Son and On the Dnieper, all of which have subsequently been recorded for Naxos.
Theodore Kuchar
The Ukrainian conductor Theodore Kuchar is currently artistic director and principal conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, continuing an association that began in 1992 with his appointment as principal guest conductor of the then Ukrainian State Symphony Orchestra. He is also artistic director of the Australian Festival of Chamber Music, a position he has held since 1990. His professional career began as a principal violist in leading orchestras of Cleveland and Helsinki, followed by appearances as a soloist and chamber musician in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the United States of America and the former Soviet Union. In 1980, at the age of twenty, Theodore Kuchar was awarded the Boston Symphony Orchestra Paul Fromm Fellowship, allowing study at Tanglewood with Leonard Bernstein, Colin Davis, Seiji Ozawa and André Previn. After international appearances as a guest conductor, he was appointed, soon after his Australian début in 1987, music director of the Queensland Philharmonic Orchestra in Brisbane, while also serving until 1993 as music director of the West Australian Ballet in Perth. In 1989 he was awarded a bronze medal by the Finnish government for services to Finnish music, while in 1994 he played in the world première of Penderecki's String Trio in New York. His recordings as a conductor include a number of important works for Naxos and Marco Polo, among which his recording of the second and third symphonies of Lyatoshynsky for Marco Polo was declared International Record of the Year in 1994 by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Under his direction the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine has become one of the most frequently recorded of the former Soviet Union, with recordings of the complete symphonies of Kalinnikov and Prokofiev, in addition to those of Lyatoshynsky and of major works by de Bériot, Dvorák, Glazunov, Ippolitov-Ivanov, Shchedrin, Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky, as well as the symphonies and orchestral works of Ukraine's leading contemporary symphonist, Yevhen Stankovytch.

Sirengate: My Two Cents
I've not wanted to say anything about Sirengate (which, despite happening in January, has only come to light recently) because, although it saddens me, it doesn't affect me directly. I don't follow the Story Siren (because I don't enjoy her reviews) and I've kept to a small section of the book blogging world (Goodreads) until recently.
But now I'm breaking my silence, for what it's worth. Not much, I know, but still.
Not to talk about the Story Siren. Well, not directly. More to talk about her fanbase.
Let me clarify: there are people who have lost respect for the Story Siren and have dropped all ties. There are people who have forgiven her for her transgression and moved on. And there's a third group, who have taken it upon themselves to attack the original victims of the Siren's crime. The people who run the blogs she plagiarised. The victims whose words she copied, knowing full well what plagiarism is.
I'm clarifying again, because it took me a few moments to realise myself: the plagiarist's fans are sending hate mail to the victims of the plagiarism.
I don't know what the hate mail is saying, but I can guess. It'll be along the same lines as Cassandra Clare's fans when they conveniently forget her fanfiction was deleted off Fanfiction.net for plagiarism. Clare never confessed to her plagiarism, spinning a story that it was a game between her friends. The Story Siren has spun another story that takes the blame off her: that she didn't realise, that it was a mistake or wasn't deliberate, that she was confused, that she's sorry and she doesn't expect anyone to understand.
The similarities between the two events are somewhat similar, but the overwhelming similarity is how the fans who love her have reacted.
I'm not saying the Siren's a criminal, but it's similar to the family of a thief going to arms against the police when the thief is arrested. Someone has been wronged, and it's not the Siren.
I don't agree with going after the Siren with pitchforks, because everyone screws up every now and then. I don't want this swept under the rug. But I certainly must condemn the fan reaction and backlash against the innocent bloggers who 'dared' to reveal the plagiarism. They didn't even name her. It was the book bloggers who revealed who the plagiarist was.
It makes me terribly sad, and a little angry.
Since when has popularity been a replacement for integrity?

I'm amazed by the ignorance I've seen by The Story Siren fangirls.
Very well said!
When I heard about this, I stayed away from Twitter for a while, not wanting to get into the craziness I knew would be directed towards Kristi…and then I saw a majority of it was directed at the victims, instead. I was speechless. While I don't condone the bullying that went on towards Kristi, there definitely shouldn't have been any towards the bloggers whose content she stole. None at all.
I am so utterly disappointed in how this all went down.
For people defending her "mistake" and bullying the victims, look what I found for you: http://web.archive.org/web/20110103164916/http://www.thestorysiren.com/2010/04/my-one-piece-of-advice.html THERE IS NO EXCUSE, The Siren herself said so.
Thanks for this post, Lissa. I completely agree with you!

Samuel T. Cogley, Come On Down!
Meet Texas' surprise Democratic primary winner, congressional nominee Kesha Rogers. What could go wrong?
South Carolina's unexpected Democratic nominee for the US Senate, mystery man Alvin Greene, says he wants to play golf with Barack Obama. But in Texas, another surprise Democratic primary winner, congressional nominee Kesha Rogers, wants to impeach the President. So while South Carolina party officials are still unsure of what to do about Greene's success at the ballot box, Texas Democrats have no such reservations – they wasted little time in casting Rogers into exile and offering no support or recognition of her campaign to win what once was Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay's old seat.
Rogers, 33, told TIME she is a "full time political activist" in the Lyndon LaRouche Youth Movement, a recruiting arm of the LaRouche political organization that is active on many college campuses. The LYM espouses LaRouche opposition to free trade and "globalism" (the UN, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund) and it also calls for a return to a humanist classical education, emphasizing the works of Plato and Leibnitz. On her professional looking campaign website, kesharogers.com, she touts the LaRouche political philosophy – a mix of support for the economic policies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the impeachment of President Obama – and calls Obama a "London and Wall Street backed puppet" whose policies will destroy the Democratic Party. During the campaign, she was photographed carrying an oversized portrait of the President with a Hitler-style moustache penciled on his lip. [You mean it wasn't a Tea Partier? Alert MSNBC! — Ed]
* * *
Another major LaRouche-inspired plank in Rogers' platform is support for the colonization of Mars. "Help send me to Congress, and we can send our grandchildren to Mars!" was a Rogers' slogan during the campaign.
Can we hold the impeachment hearings on Mars using the Fundamental Declarations of the Martian colonies as their legal basis? If so, I know just the attorney to represent the president!

Author(s): Noll, Mark A.

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Religion has been a powerful political force throughout American history. When race enters the mix the results have been some of our greatest triumphs as a nation--and some of our most shameful failures. In this important book, Mark Noll, one of the most influential historians of American religion writing today, traces the explosive political effects of the religious intermingling with race.
Noll demonstrates how supporters and opponents of slavery and segregation drew equally on the Bible to justify the morality of their positions. He shows how a common evangelical heritage supported Jim Crow discrimination and contributed powerfully to the black theology of liberation preached by Martin Luther King Jr. In probing such connections, Noll takes readers from the 1830 slave revolt of Nat Turner through Reconstruction and the long Jim Crow era, from the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s to "values" voting in recent presidential elections. He argues that the greatest transformations in American political history, from the Civil War through the civil rights revolution and beyond, constitute an interconnected narrative in which opposing appeals to Biblical truth gave rise to often-contradictory religious and moral complexities. And he shows how this heritage remains alive today in controversies surrounding stem-cell research and abortion as well as civil rights reform.
God and Race in American Politics is a panoramic history that reveals the profound role of religion in American political history and in American discourse on race and social justice.

Welcome to the Rare Kidney Stone Consortium
Our Mission
The Consortium facilitates cooperative exchange of information and resources among investigators, clinicians, and patients, and researchers in order to improve care and outcomes for patients with rare stone diseases. The consortium promotes ready availability of diagnostic testing, pooling of clinical experiences, and availability of tissue banks in order to advance the science. Our goals are to:
- Establish and expand registries and collaborate with patient organizations for the rapid dissemination of knowledge
- Stimulate generation of testable hypotheses regarding mechanisms of renal injury in these diseases through registry findings, tissue resources, and pilot projects
- Develop cohorts of well-characterized patients for future clinical studies
- Attract and train investigators to rare diseases research in nephrology
News and Upcoming Events
The Rare Kidney Stone Contortium hosts and supports a number of events related to our core disease focus groups. Please check frequently for news and updated information.
- Request for Applications - Pilot Study
The Rare Kidney Stone Consortium is accepting applications for Pilot Projects in research in rare kidney stone disease. Projects that explore promising or novel treatments, develop new diagnostic tests or laboratory assays, or those that identify new markers of disease activity are encouraged. Applicants can come from Consortium participant institutions or elsewhere as long as the PI collaborates in a direct and meaningful fashion with a RARE KIDNEY STONE CONSORTIUM affiliated investigator.
- Request for Applications - Training Programs The Rare Kidney Stone Consortium is accepting applications for Career Development Fellowship awards for individuals interested in training to do translational or clinical research in the field of kidney stone disease. Applicants can come from Consortium participant institutions or elsewhere as long as the trainee is supervised in a direct and meaningful fashion by a RARE KIDNEY STONE CONSORTIUM affiliated mentor.

I had been trying to figure out a good way to hold my necklaces and earrings. I don't have a huge amount of either so I didn't need a big earring tree or anything like that, just something fairly simple that would keep the stuff off my dresser, nightstand, etc. and could be a nice decorative touch to my room. So I came up with this.
I found a two-pack of corkboard at the dollar store that seemed to be a perfect size for my needs. It doesn't really matter what size or shape it is, that's totally up to you! Cut the fabric to be a bit larger than the corkboard, enough larger to be able to fold it over on each side.
Fold two sides over and glue them with regular old Elmer's school glue.
After letting it dry, cut the corners of the other sides so they won't bunch up at the corners and do the same folding/gluing again.
Since that a) looks horrible and b) would probably not be very secure, then glue some cardstock to the back and attach some picture hangers to the top with thumbtacks.
And, finally, use some masking tape to attach a line of lace ribbon along the bottom to put earrings in, and pushpins on the front to hang the necklaces on (which you can see in the finished pic above).
That's it! =) The only adjustment I'd make if I did it again would be to use both corkboards that came in the pack, because, as you can see, the pushpins actually went all the way through! It doesn't really matter because it's against the wall, but still, I'd check the depth of the corkboard against the depth of the pushpins if I were doing it again.
This is a brilliant idea. My jewellery is always getting tangled and it's so annoying! I have two corkboards kicking around and I kept thinking I should do something with them so this is the perfect way to "kill two birds with one stone" as they say :)
I used a corkboard for my jewelry already, but just a plain old one. But this is much better looking! Think mine needs a makeover soon :-)
This is wickeedd
Cool idea! I have some old sheets that I can cut up for fabric and match my room still :-) yay!
Great timing! I have been using my dreamcatcher as my earring holder! Maybe thats why I can't sleep lol
Great project and I agree with the others, the lace is a cool idea for the earrings :D
You saved my life !!! Ive been after something like this for years *hyperness* lol <3
Yeah, using lace is a very clever idea, well done!
I like the idea of lace for the earrings :)

Tulane Energy Expert Says Opening Oil Reserves Will Drop Gas Prices Temporarily
By Eileen Fleming
New Orleans, La. – Eric Smith says tapping the reserve for 30 days at a million barrels a day will likely lower prices, but the effect will be temporary.
"Probably a month from now you could expect to see some effect on gasoline prices, but it will only last for a month because everyone who deals in oil and gas knows it's only a 30-day program."
The White House notes the move comes as demand peaks in summer months, and high gasoline prices are gutting household budgets. Smith says the government will also be making money from the sale.
"The good news is, it'll generate about $3 billion in income for the federal government, which is about half of what they get via royalties and lease sales in a given year. They can use the money."
The last time the reserve was tapped was after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
For WWNO, I'm Eileen Fleming

INSPIRATION. I think I have a thing with photographing (my) hands. Not because they're especially pretty ones but because I just love the daintiness they add to a picture composition; how they tell the story sometimes better than a face.
Tomorrow's outfit post might or might not include some material to feed
my your passion for hand-related photography. Who knows?

Title: Investigating spatio-temporal randomness of large earthquakes
Primary supervisor: Prof Peter Sammonds (IRDR)
Source(s) of funding: Aon Benfield
Address: UCL Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction, University College London, Gower Street, London, WC1E 6BT

Project description: There has been increasing interest in the distribution of large earthquakes - both temporally and spatially - particularly in the commercial sector, where numerical models are based on Poissonian assumptions. Statistical investigation of the distribution of large earthquakes, however, has been restricted by the limited historical record available. This project uses proxies such as sub-marine deposits as a method by which earthquake records at subduction zones can be extended. Upon exploration of the statistical and physical links, the eventual aim will be to suggest alternative distributions that better reflect the behaviour of these extreme events, where Poissonian assumptions might be inappropriate

FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas A man was recovering from a robbery and beating after four suspects barged into his Katy home with weapons early Thursday.
Brian Washington said he was pistol-whipped and beaten with a chair after being ambushed by the four bandits who followed his girlfriend home around 3 a.m.
The robbers busted down doors and ransacked rooms, taking $8,000 Washington had stored in a shoebox. They also put a gun to his girlfriend s head.
Four other people who were home at the time managed to get away and call for help.
Washington, who works in the entertainment industry, was on the kitchen floor when deputies arrived.
I definitely think this was an inside job. Someone knew, someone tipped them off to where they might be able to find me thinking that I have something that I don t, he said. You know, thinking that it may be drugs or money or anything like that, but it s surely not.
The four suspects ran out the back of the house and through a neighbor s yard to get away. Several of the homes have surveillance cameras in the area, but it is still not clear if any clear images were captured.
