Listen to free advance stream of new Civil Wars album
The Civil Wars' much-anticipated self-titled sophomore album will be released Tuesday, but fans can take a free advance listen via iTunes at this link now. One of the most buzz-generating new groups of the past few years, Joy Williams and John Paul White dazzled critics and audiences alike with the stark, haunting and beautiful vocal harmonies from their 2011 debut, "Barton Hollow." Two Grammy Awards and a high-profile spot on the "Hunger Games" soundtrack later and the duo seemed on top of the music world. But it all seemed to crash down with the abrupt cancellation of a European tour and a quickly announced extended hiatus due to "internal discord and irreconcilable differences of ambition."
White and Williams still aren't talking to each other, but they did manage to harness the emotion from the split as they created this new album. We'll have a full review on Tap Milwaukee Tuesday afternoon. But, for now, you can explore the beautiful, yet heartbreaking results of The Civil Wars' own internal discord that is discussed by Williams in this extended NPR interview from today and also captured in the short behind-the-scenes video below from the making of the album's song, "The One That Got Away." »Read Full Blog Post

Were the opposition to be beaten by the Tories and Ukip, it would send shockwaves through the PLP.
The PM recognises how any hint that he could depart could galvanise the "No" campaign - but he is preparing for defeat.
A strong performance by Farage's party could signal to Scotland that England may vote to leave the EU in a future in/out referendum.
But Ukip is betting on a late surge.
The party's new campaign is designed to win votes by whipping up animosity against foreigners living and working and contributing to this country.
While the Tories, the Lib Dems and UKIP are silent, we are fighting for the health service to be protected from privatisation under the new EU-US trade treaty.
There are good grounds for believing we will succeed in ensuring the NHS is exempt from the transatlantic agreeement.
Eurosceptics harp on about the need for democracy. But the Swiss, like the Norwegians and the Icelanders, choose to eat food from a table at which they have no seat.
Conservative peer also says that Britain will join the euro, that UKIP is a "racist" party and that Boris Johnson shouldn't stand for parliament before 2016.
The Deputy PM's pragmatic case for the EU gave him the edge over the tetchy UKIP leader.

SCA just learned that the Massachusetts Senate recently voted to eliminate $750,000 in funding for the Massachusetts Service Alliance (MSA). This action would effectively shut down the MSA, the state agency that administers all AmeriCorps funding for Massachusetts.
Stripping the $750K for MSA puts at risk $10 million in federal funding, another $10 million in private matching funds, and nearly $5 million in post-service education awards for members. No matter how you add it up, it just doesn't make sense. And it would be a real blow to SCA's Mass Parks program.

PES1 promotes breast cancer by differentially regulating ERα and ERβ.
ABSTRACT The initiation of breast cancer is associated with increased expression of tumor-promoting estrogen receptor α (ERα) protein and decreased expression of tumor-suppressive ERβ protein. However, the mechanism underlying this process is unknown. Here we show that PES1 (also known as Pescadillo), an estrogen-inducible protein that is overexpressed in breast cancer, can regulate the balance between ERα and ERβ. We found that PES1 modulated many estrogen-responsive genes by enhancing the transcriptional activity of ERα while inhibiting transcriptional activity of ERβ. Consistent with this regulation of ERα and ERβ transcriptional activity, PES1 increased the stability of the ERα protein and decreased that of ERβ through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, mediated by the carboxyl terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP). Moreover, PES1 transformed normal human mammary epithelial cells and was required for estrogen-induced breast tumor growth in nude mice. Further analysis of clinical samples showed that expression of PES1 correlated positively with ERα expression and negatively with ERβ expression and predicted good clinical outcome in breast cancer. Our data demonstrate that PES1 contributes to breast tumor growth through regulating the balance between ERα and ERβ and may be a better target for the development of drugs that selectively regulate ERα and ERβ activities.

Article: The RNA-binding protein RBPMS1 represses AP-1 signaling and regulates breast cancer cell proliferation and migration[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The activator protein-1 (AP-1) transcription factor complex plays a crucial role in tumor growth and progression. However, how AP-1 transcriptional activity is repressed is not fully understood. Here, we show that RNA-binding protein with multiple splicing 1 (RBPMS1) physically and functionally interacts with AP-1 in vitro and in vivo. The RNA-recognition motif (RRM) and C-terminus of the RBPMS1 isoforms RBPMS1A and RBPMS1C, but not RBPMS1B, interacted with cFos, a member of the AP-1 family that dimerizes with cJun to stimulate AP-1 transcriptional activity. RBPMS1 did not associate with Jun proteins. RBPMS1A and RBPMS1C bound to the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain of cFos that mediates dimerization of AP-1 proteins. In addition, RBPMS1A-C interacted with the transcription factor Smad3, which was shown to interact with cJun and increase AP-1 transcriptional activity. RBPMS1 inhibited c-Fos or Smad3-mediated AP-1 transactivation and the expression of AP-1 target genes known to be the key regulators of cancer growth and progression, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and cyclin D1. Mechanistically, RBPMS1 blocks the formation of the cFos/cJun or Smad3/cJun complex as well as the recruitment of cFos or Smad3 to the promoters of AP-1 target genes. In cultured cells and a mouse xenograft model, RBPMS1 inhibited the growth and migration of breast cancer cells through c-Fos or Smad3. These data suggest that RBPMS1 is a critical repressor of AP-1 signaling and RBPMS1 activation may be a useful strategy for cancer treatment.Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research 09/2014; 1853(1).

Article: Tongshu Capsule Down-Regulates the Expression of Estrogen Receptor α and Suppresses Human Breast Cancer Cell Proliferation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Tongshu Capsule (TSC) is a prevalent form of traditional Chinese medicine widely used for its purported effects in treating mammary gland hyperplasia and inflammation. Though successful in several clinical studies, there is no clear evidence as to why TSC has a positive treatment effect, and little known about underlying mechanism that may account for it. In this study, we examined the effects of TSC and found that it has a comparatively strong growth inhibition on ERα positive breast cancer cells. TSC seems to cause G1 cell cycle arrest instead of apoptosis. Interestingly, TSC also down-regulated the expression of ERα and Cyclin D1. Consistently, TSC suppressed E2 mediated ERα downstream gene expression and cell proliferation in ERα positive breast cancer cell lines MCF7 and T47D. Depletion of ERα partially abolished the effects of TSC on the decrease of Cyclin D1 and cell viability. Our findings suggest that TSC may have therapeutic effects on ERα positive breast cancers and moreover that TSC may suppress breast epithelial cell proliferation by inhibiting the estrogen pathway.PLoS ONE 08/2014; 9(8):e104261.

[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes (ERα and ERβ) on breast cancer development and progression. The expression level of ERα and ERβ in breast cancer tissues and paired normal breast tissues were detected by Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. The features of ERα and ERβ status in cancer tissues or normal breast tissues and the correlations between clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis were analyzed. The expression levels of ERα and ERβ in breast cancer tissues are significantly lower than those in the paired normal tissues. The expression of ERβ is decreased more than that of ERα. ERα expression levels in cancer tissues are associated with tumor diameter, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, and progesterone receptor (PR) status. However, ERβ expression levels in cancer tissues are not correlated with clinicopathological factors of patients with breast cancer. In conclusion, ER subtypes might play different roles in the development of breast cancer.Tumor Biology 06/2014; 35(9). DOI:10.1007/s13277-014-2152-1 · 2.84 Impact Factor

of the electrolyte react with the oxide (azelaic acid, poly(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP), and phosphoric acid); the others act as pH or conductivity buffers (boric acid, ammonia, and water). The adsorption
of azelaic acid and PVP from the electrolyte was studied as a function of temperature, pH, and time, and the result was compared to the adsorption from model solutions of simpler composition. The influence
of other components such as phosphoric acid both in the electrolyte and on the aluminum oxide was also investigated, as was the presence of water. At low pH and high temperature (T ≥ 105 °C)
the acid formed an ester with EG and this product adsorbed on the oxide surface. The PVP was attached to the adsorbed azelaic acid by hydrophobic interaction, which is pH independent. Ester formation was
found to be catalyzed by other electrolyte ingredients like boric acid. At high pH, surface adsorption of azelaic acid occurs through a deprotonated species, which is mainly coordinated through outer-sphere
complexation. At high temperature or after a long equilibration time, the surface of the alumina changed, resulting in less adsorption of the organic substances, independent of pH. This change is due to
a selective adsorption of phosphate species from the electrolyte, which block active surface sites.

California's Tough-Guy Controller
Chiang Tussles With Schwarzenegger, Warns of Urgent Need to Resolve Budget Crisis
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- It's hard to upstage Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in the theater of California politics. But as the state-budget impasse drags into its 14th week, California's chief accountant is doing just that.
John Chiang, the state's heretofore low-profile controller, has grabbed Californians' attention by delaying tax refunds and welfare checks while engaging in increasingly snippy feuds with Gov. Schwarzenegger and Republican lawmakers, berating their inaction in speeches and news releases.
The 46-year-old Mr. Chiang (pronounced CHUNG), a Democrat elected in 2006 to a four-year term, oversees the state's nearly depleted reserves, which need an infusion of money through a revamped budget. Gov. Schwarzenegger and state legislators have missed a self-imposed Feb. 1 deadline to balance the budget, which is expected to have a $42 billion shortfall by mid-2010.
Mr. Chiang has dealt with this while recuperating from a mild heart attack in late December. He said it wasn't stress-related and that he has since recovered. "I certainly wouldn't be doing this [job] if it was going to endanger my health," he said.
In an interview last week, Mr. Chiang stepped up his rhetoric, saying that if negotiations drag on much longer, the state may issue IOUs for tax refunds and paychecks for state workers, or -- in a worst-case scenario -- default, resulting in "massive litigation."
"I have my faith in the governor and the Legislature to do the right thing," he said. "But they have to understand that every delay continues to hurt people to a significant degree."
Gov. Schwarzenegger declared a fiscal emergency in early November, but budget talks have stalled because of a three-way clash: Democratic legislators want new taxes and moderate cuts; Republican lawmakers want deep cuts but no new taxes; and the Republican governor wants a balance of new taxes and deep spending cuts, as well as relaxation of environmental rules to hasten public-works projects.
Mr. Chiang's profile has risen as lawmakers haggle. Last week he delayed, for 30 days, more than $3 billion in tax refunds, welfare checks and other payments to keep the state from running out of cash this month.
California's options are limited if the impasse continues, he said in the interview. By law, the state can't file for bankruptcy, and "if we issued IOUs or if we went into default, individuals would not lend money to the state of California," he said. "And if people think it's difficult today, where we're talking about drastic cuts in spending, or talking about increases in taxes, they haven't seen it at its worst yet."
Mr. Chiang blames the governor for creating this fiscal crisis by signing an 85-day-late budget in October that the controller says immediately put the state $15 billion in debt. "One of the strong material weaknesses that governor could have done better was to not sign a budget that created the deficiencies and problems that we have today," he said.
Mr. Chiang wouldn't say how he thinks the budget should be resolved, saying that is the job of the governor and Legislature. But he has supported changing the requirement of a two-thirds-majority vote for passing budgets in the Legislature, which has allowed minority GOP lawmakers to hold up budget votes.
"In these challenging times, Californians expect their elected officials to step up to special interests and lead in the best interests of the state," Gov. Schwarzenegger's spokesman said in a statement. "It is very disappointing that the controller has been unable to do that."
The boyish-looking son of Taiwanese immigrants, and a suburban-Chicago native, Mr. Chiang said he was toughened by racial taunts and fights during childhood. After graduating from the University of South Florida and Georgetown Law School, he worked for the Internal Revenue Service and California politicians before becoming controller in 2007.
Mr. Chiang thrust himself into the news last summer by challenging Gov. Schwarzenegger during another budget impasse. To save money, the governor ordered the controller to pay state workers the federal minimum wage until a budget was passed. Mr. Chiang refused, saying the state had the money to pay them. Gov. Schwarzenegger sued Mr. Chiang in a county Superior Court. Lawmakers made the dispute moot by approving a budget shortly thereafter.
Mr. Chiang sparred with Gov. Schwarzenegger again last month, after the governor ordered him to furlough about 200,000 state workers two days a month. Mr. Chiang refused. "We thought the governor was incorrect," Mr. Chiang said, citing an early-1990s court ruling.
Since Mr. Chiang's challenge, the governor's press staff has accused him of being politically opportunistic. It sent reporters links to a column calling Mr. Chiang a "union tool" and to a six-second video clip in which the controller states, "I would love to be governor." Gov. Schwarzenegger himself has jabbed at Mr. Chiang in news conferences.
Mr. Chiang has also angered Republican legislators. Last week, several assemblymen and a taxpayer group demanded that Mr. Chiang return tax refunds.
"The state is actually holding on to money that belongs to the taxpayer," said Roger Niello, a Republican assemblyman. "That is why I call it the ultimate injustice."
Mr. Chiang said he wants to issue tax refunds, but that laws compel him to pay debt service and education first. He returned the assemblymen's criticism, saying "they need to do their job and get a budget in place [to] give me and the state money so we can give the money back…. In essence, they've given me $6 to pay $10 worth of bills."

We are engaged in manufacturing and supplying superior quality plastic products. These are used in an array of application like plastic bags and plastic films etc. The products that we offer are a rugged material that has high resistance to certain chemicals and can be easily molded. This high temperature thermoplastic product is also tremendously strong and available in durable finish standards.
We are offering our clients Shrink Films/Wrap that are widely used in several industries like food, beverage, automobile and chemical for packaging purposes. At the time of wrapping-packaging the products, the stretchable plastic sheets are spread over under a reel tension for obtaining a series of elastic strips that are self adhered immobilizing. In addition to this, these films are 100% tested by quality controllers to ensure zero manufacturing defect.
Our clients can avail from us HDPE Rolls that are just similar to LDPE, but have higher tensile strength, higher impact and puncture resistance. These bags are manufactured using high grade lower thickness films that can be blown than LDPE and have with better environmental stress cracking resistance. As compare to LDPE, these films are difficult to process and have lower gloss as well as narrower range for heat sealing. Moreover, our bags are widely used in different industrial packaging, blown film applications, food & retail packaging and geomembrane.

Ex-DA Who Sent Exoneree Anthony Graves to Death Row Is Disbarred
It's been nine long years since the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals found that Charles Sebesta, the Burleson County DA who prosecuted Anthony Graves for capital murder, had withheld favorable evidence and used false testimony to secure a conviction—a conviction that sent Graves to death row. Graves spent eighteen years in prison, most of it in solitary confinement.
Today, finally, a small measure of justice was served when the State Bar of Texas stripped Sebesta of his law license and formally disbarred him.

Ostomy Belt Videos
The protective shield of the stoma guard on this ostomy belt is held away from the stoma by a U-shaped pad. This stoma guard is secured in place by a detachable elastic ostomy belt. The stoma shield protects the stoma from inadvertent contact and from waistband and belts from your clothing. The pad applies pressure on the ostomy appliance assisting in its securement, thus reducing the risk of leaks from under the wafer. The guard and ostomy belt also provide parastomal hernia prevention.
This stoma guard is intended to protect the stoma from external contact caused by things like clothing and seatbelts. It also allows patients to live a more active lifestyle without needing to be concerned about damaging the stoma through impacts that occur during daily activities and sports. It prevents leaks that can be caused by physical activity, sweating, or spending time in the water. Since it applies direct pressure to the appliance, it extends the wear-time of the wafer and can be used as a parastomal hernia belt.
The Stomaplex Ostomy Belt & Stoma Guard
All of these stoma guards allow you to go about all your daily activities with total confidence. Before I designed these Stoma Guards, I tried other ostomy protection systems on the market, but I had too many accidents to count. Since I couldn't get the accidents under control, I just wanted to hide in my house and not do anything at all. But ever since I started wearing these STOMAPLEX Stoma-Guards and Ostomy Belts, I haven't had a single accident. This has given me complete confidence to resume my full range of normal daily activities (tennis, swimming, running, and bicycling). I no long feel nervous at all when I go out in public!
With these Ostomy Clothing Belts and Stoma-Guards in place, you will be so incredibly confident about doing even the simplest things. I work as an engineer during the day, and when I'm sitting at my desk, I sometimes slide my chair up so fast that my belly hits the edge of the desk. This is no longer something I need to worry about. And now when I fold my arms or pick up a heavy box, I no longer even think about whether I'm going to bump my stoma.
Another reason I decided I needed to figure out how to make an ostomy protection product like these Stoma-Guards is that I discovered that a lot of other ostomates choose not to wear seatbelts because the seatbelts cross their stomas or pinch off the flow to their bag. With the STOMAPLEX Stoma-Guard, you will never again put yourself in the dangerous situation of riding in a car without basic seatbelt protection! Put on your Stoma-Guard, snap your seatbelt into place, and away you go!
Keep an Active Lifesytle with an Ostomy
Are you interested in resuming a more active lifestyle but concerned about the need to protect your stoma and appliance? The Freedom-Guard Stoma-Guard and Ostomy Clothing Belt makes an ideal ostomy sports guard because it is strong enough to keep your stoma protected from impact, but it is light-weight and flexible enough that you'll forget you have it on. It is also easily washable after a hard work-out, and the neoprene pad allows it to dry within minutes.
Each Pure-Comfort™ and Freedom-Guard™ Stoma-Guard and Ostomy Belt is made to the highest standards of quality. Not only are the materials that go into the guard premium grade, but the workmanship is top notch. You will not be disappointed. The moment you put it on, you will agree with our clients who say that this is a very high quality product.
The ostomy belt is performance-grade material, which allows you to customize the pressure with its two straps for the most comfortable fit.
Wear the ostomy belt & under your clothing for a discrete appearance and feel totally protected.
Comfort is a necessary feature of any Stoma-Guard. After all, having an ostomy is not the most comfortable thing to begin with, so it is very important to wear a stoma protector that will make you more comfortable as you go about all your daily activities!
Pamper your skin with our 100% premium-grade calfskin on the Pure-Comfort ATX Stoma-Guard. What could feel better! The soft cloth belt secures with Velcro tabs so you will be able to comfortably wear either Stoma-Guard in public, and no will ever be able to tell you have it on! Also, the cloth belt lies flush with your skin and there is no bulky padding on your back, so you won't feel any pressure when you're sitting in a car seat, relaxing after a hard day at the office, or recuperating after a hard work-out.
Lastly, each of these Stoma-Guards has a built in stoma silencer. As a mechanical engineer, I have learned how to minimize sounds. The key is to have them pass through multiple layers to dissipate their vibrational energies. This allows you to enjoy everything you do with your friends and family without needing to worry about being interrupted by embarrassing noises!

A cursed camera leads to sheer terror for a group of students on vacation in Morocco. Amateur photographer Clarissa (Harriet MacMasters) is traveling through the remote villages of Morocco with friends when her camera is suddenly stolen. Luck appears to shine on the weary victimized shutterbug, however, when mysterious curio shop owner Tollinger (Armand Assante) gives her an incredible deal on a vintage camera. But soon thereafter, the members of Clarissa's group begin to die off in the most horrible ways imaginable. When a frightened hunter reveals to the group that whoever is photographed by the camera is doomed to die, the few remaining survivors race to solve the deadly mystery before it's too late. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Gold stabilized after four days of losses amid concern that Greece may stumble in its last-ditch bid to avoid default, boosting demand for a refuge as stocks fell.
Bullion for immediate delivery increased as much as 0.3 percent to USSU78.47 an ounce, and traded at Sl.176.32 at 250 p.m. in Singapore, according to Bloomberg generic pricing. The metal dropped to Sl.171.04 on Wednesday, the lowest level since June 8, and the losing run was the longest since March.
Gold fell in the opening days of this week as European leaders sought again to break the deadlock over funding Greece and investors assessed when US rates will start to rise.
A report on Wednesday showed the worlds largest economy shrank at just a 0-2 percent annualized rate, revised from a 0.7 percent drop. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and creditors will meet again Thursday to try to break the impasse after another day of negotiations ended without a breakthrough.
"It's not looking pretty", Howie Lee. an investment analyst at Phillip Futures Pte. in Singapore, wrote in a note. Theres a "seemingly high probability of Greece defaulting on their IMF payments", he said.
Times running out for Greece, which needs to resolve aid distribution before the European portion of its bailout expires June 30, and about €1.5 billion (US$1.7 billion) in payments come due to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) the same day.
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index was little changed on Thursday after climbing to the highest level in more than a week the day before. The Federal Reserve signaled a pickup in the economy will keep them on track to raise interest rates this year, though subsequent increases will probably be gradual.
Futures for August delivery rose 0.2 percent to $1,175.20 an ounce on the Comex in New York after falling for four days. Billion of 99.99 percent purity dropped as much as 0.3 percent to ¥234,40 a gram ($1,174-28 an ounce) on the ShanghaiGold Exchange, the lowest since June 9, and was at ¥235,45.
Silver for immediate delivery was at $15,898 an ounce from $15,895 on Wednesday. Platinum was 0.1 percent higher at $1,077 an ounce, extending a rebound from a six-year low of $1,058 on Monday.
Palladium advanced 0.2 percent to $698 an ounce. The metal tumbled into a bear market last week amid ample global- supplies and fell to $691 on Monday, the lowest since 2013.
Meanwhile, copper rose for the second time in three days as China proposed removing a rule that caps lending by commercial banks, seen as another step to maintain growth in the worlds largest metals consumer.
Copper climbed as much as 0.8 percent. The Chinese government intends to scrap a ratio that limits banks loans to 75 percent of deposits, it said in a draft amendment to the countrys banking law on Wednesday. China has pledged to reform the financial system to boost growth as the economy slows.
Prices have risen 1.8 percent since hitting a four-month low on Monday amid signs that Chinas stimulus ef-
forts are helping sustain growth. A private gauge of manufacturing for June released this week beat expectations, following official data showing stabili2ation in industrial production, credit growth and property sales in May.
Copper for delivery in three months on the London Metal Exchange (LME) advanced 0.3 percent to S5.757 a metric ton (S2.61 a pound) at 3 p.m. in Hong Kong. Prices rose 22. percent Tuesday, the most since April.
The metal for September in New York was little changed at $2.6205 a pound, while in Shanghai, futures slid 0.6 percent to close at ¥41.920 ($6,752) a ton.
