DLLRs Division of Financial Regulation Eliminates Paper Licenses and Registrations
BALTIMORE, MD (December 14, 2011) The Maryland Department of Labors (DLLR) Division of Financial Regulation, led by Commissioner Mark Kaufman, announced today that it will eliminate the printing and mailing of licenses and registrations for most applicants and will instead issue approved licenses and registrations in PDF form through a secure license portal.
Shifting to electronic distribution is not only more environmentally friendly, but will save money and improve service, said Commissioner Kaufman. Many of our licensees and registrants require proof of approval to conduct business on a daily basis and improving delivery will eliminate delays which may otherwise be not only frustrating, but costly.
The change affects all licenses and registrations issued by the Commissioner of Financial Regulation. The electronic distribution system will dramatically reduce the time frame between approval and receipt of the license, thereby allowing licensees to provide proof of licensure and authorization to conduct Maryland business without delay. At the same time, the Division estimates that electronic distribution will save approximately $20,000 annually in printing and mailing costs and reduce associated staff burdens.
This change supports the goals of Governor Martin OMalleys Maryland Made Easy initiative, an interagency effort to advance Marylands business climate by streamlining licensing processes, simplifying regulations and improving communication.
Users must have Adobe Acrobat Reader to open PDF files. It is available for free download.
The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation protects and empowers Marylanders by safeguarding workers, protecting consumers, providing a safety net and cultivating a thriving workforce that can meet the demands of Marylands dynamic economy. Follow DLLR on Twitter (@MD_DLLR) and Facebook.

It wasn't always pretty, but it was a win and a big one for the College of Charleston.
Andrew Lawrence hit two free throws with 0.6 seconds left to play to lift the College of Charleston over Western Carolina, 67-65, Wednesday night at the Ramsey Center in Cullowhee, N.C.
The Cougars (20-8, 12-4 SoCon) have won 20 games for the fourth time in five seasons, and with the victory and assured themselves of a first-round bye in next month's Southern Conference tournament in Asheville, N.C. The Catamounts fell to 11-17 and 8-8.
The Cougars, who won at the Ramsey Center for the first time since the 2007-08 season, led by as many as 12 points late in the second half. With 80 seconds left to play, Charleston appeared to have the game in hand after Lawrence sank two free throws to give the Cougars a 65-56 advantage.
But, Western Carolina's Trey Sumler, who finished with a game-high 24 points, scored nine answered points, including a driving layup with 4.6 seconds to play to tie the game, 65-65.
"For most of the game, we did a good job on Sumler," said College of Charleston coach Doug Wojcik. "Give Sumler credit, down the stretch he hit some tough shots and got them back into the game."
Instead of calling a timeout, the Cougars inbounded the ball to Lawrence, who raced down the floor and caught the Catamounts' defense unprepared. Lawrence's running one-handed shot missed, but the senior was fouled and sent to the free-throw line with under a second to play.
Lawrence made the first free throw and then intentionally missed three straight times. But each time Lawrence attempted a free throw, Sumler was called for a lane violation, forcing the Cougars captain to shoot again.
"With under a second left, we wanted Andrew to miss the free throw," Wojcik said. "Making a full-court shot is a lot tougher than having a set play out of bounds after a made free throw."
Charleston trailed by as many as nine points in the first half, but used a 24-6 run to take a 37-28 advantage on Lawrence's 15-footer with 18:18 left in the game.
The Cougars took their largest lead, 63-51, on Trent Wiedeman's jumper with 3:08 to go.
Wiedeman finished with a team-high 16 points and 10 rebounds in just 20 minutes of action. Adjehi Baru added 13 points and nine rebounds, while Lawrence and Anthony Stitt had 12 points each.
The Cougars will face Gardner-Webb at TD Arena Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m.

I'm willing to bet $$$ that it's NOT Steuben /Blair
David thank you for the ATG booklet. But, Oh dear, it has quite a few errors and also has a wrongly attributed piece on - Page 33 Blue/yellow stripey.See http://www.ysartglass.com/Ysart/NotYsart.htm 3rd row.If that was at a Lyon & Turnbull sale, they were told. But at frequently happens at that sale room they ignore identifications. They have sold many fakes as genuine.Who is Roland Arkell?
I heartily concur with the last remark, you wouldn't believe the basic errors in some of the stuff that comes through my hands. There are a lot of cowboy journalists out there

We Don't Quite Know What We are Talking About When We Talk About Volatility

Finance professionals, who are regularly exposed to notions of volatility, seem to confuse mean absolute deviation with standard deviation, causing an underestimation of 25% with theoretical Gaussian variables. In some fat tailed markets the underestimation can be up to 90%. The mental substitution of the two measures is consequential for decision making and the perception of market variability.

Killer whales and dolphins can't be kept for show in South Carolina, so the tragedies shown in the recent CNN documentary "Blackfish" aren't likely to happen here — so far.
But the wording of the law banning the practice in the state was changed from "marine mammals" to "cetaceans," or dolphins and whales, in 2011, because Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia plans a sea lion exhibit. That revision raises some concern.
"We will work very hard to defend the law if there's any attempt to change it further," said Mark Berman, of Earth Island Institute, who helped write it in 1992 before joining Earth Island.
The law was the first of its kind in the nation, and the original intent was to cover cetaceans, Berman said. He doesn't like keeping sea lions for show either, but that animal can breed in captivity, he said.
"Blackfish" investigated the 2010 death of SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau, pulled underwater by a performance orca named Tilikum that she worked with.
The report chronicles the four decades of keeping the 6-ton whales for show, which began with the death of the mother of Shamu when the popular performing orca was captured young. The documentary details trainer deaths and captive-animal horrors.
The 1992 law in South Carolina originally prohibited "the display of dolphins and porpoises." It was approved after pressure by the South Carolina Humane Society to stop a dolphin park in Myrtle Beach.
After the 1992 law was passed, marine park developers pressured legislators to rescind it, unsuccessfully. Those interests are much better financed now, he said.
In 2000, the law was expanded to include all sea mammals because of jurisdiction conflicts between federal agencies.
Riverbanks Zoo declined to comment when asked about the 2011 change and the proposed exhibit.
Staffers of the South Carolina Aquarium toe the line when asked about marine mammals.
"That's not something we're debating or have any plans for," said Jason Crichton, husbandry and facilities director. The aquarium stresses education and conservation.
"One of the best parts of the aquarium is you can look off the harbor terrace and see wild dolphins," said Whit McMillan, education director. He saw one recently swimming upside down in circles, he said.
As for keeping creatures in captivity, aquarium staffers stress "an enriched environment," in other words, providing opportunities for the animals to behave naturally, said curator Rachel Kalisperis. That includes such techniques as putting food for a lobster in a location where it must be sought out.
They counter visitor concerns about keeping animals in captivity by pointing out that the displays allow visitors to make a connection with the animal that "hopefully leads them up the ladder toward conservation," McMillan said. "I can describe the giant spider crab all you want, but until you interact with the animal, you can't experience it."
Staffers are careful to stress that the aquarium belongs to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, and must keep up a high level of care to be accredited. Riverbanks Zoo also belongs to the AZA, as does SeaWorld.
Public response to "Blackfish" was so strong that SeaWorld responded by saying in part that the marine mammal park in Florida is "one of the world's most respected zoological institutions" that "rescues, rehabilitates and returns to the wild hundreds of wild animals every year," commits millions of dollars to research and is committed to the safety and welfare of the audience, handlers and animals.
The Riverbanks sea lion project is a long-term renovation that would expand a former exhibit to an exhibit facility, including stadium seating and a platform over the pool, as well as a glass wall for underwater viewing, according to the zoo website.

This past week I went back up to the North Conway area for the last of the New Hampshire get aways for this year. Typical stuff like kayaking, swimming, blueberry picking, and Storyland was done, but really the beer was the most important of it all.
�Our first night there I picked up a six pack of Sam Adam's Porch Rocker. I normally don't buy six packs due to their price, but it was being sold for $7.50, and at that price a six pack made sense to buy. I had never had this before, and Norm (editor's note: That's me) raves about it all the time, and it did not disappoint. We had some friends over too, and one of them who doesn't like beer said "Why do I hate beer, and really like this?" If you can impress a person like that you got a winner. In my opinion I'd like to see this replace their Summer Ale as its far superior to it.
I also picked up Squam's Halcyon Steamer Stout, and drank it later that night warm. A stout in my opinion is best warm, and this is a great one warm. Perfect head, nice roasted smell, and easy to drink. I really like Squam, and can't wait to get more next year.
We finished off our vacation with a celebration dinner at Moat Mountain. I had their Scottie IPA, and it was awesome. I was so in the mood for an IPA, and this was the right beer for the right moment. I then had their Matlida's Red Ale to finish the night off. I love their red ale. Great color, smell, and wonderful malt taste, and smell. I also picked up a growler of their Weiss Ale to take back home. It didn't last long once it got back to Massachusetts.
On another note they currently have a bunch of tanks outside as they're making another off site brewery down the road. They couldn't keep up with the demand, so they needed to expand. Hopefully, that means we'll be seeing them in Massachusetts soon.
All in all New Hampshire has been a pleasant experience this year beer wise. From the consistently good Tuckerman's, which wowed me with their Altitude this year, to Portsmouth Brewing Company's Barley Wine, and Great Rhythm's Pale Ale I have been very impressed with New Hampshire beer. Cheers to all the New Hampshire brewers, and beers you make!

Kore Swim 'Heatwave'
31st January 2014
I remember seeing KORE Swim on sale in one of my favourite East Village boutiques, AzaleasNYC. Athletic, strong and alluring, KORE do a great job of creating swimwear that is friendly to both lounging on the beach and taking a dip in the pool as well as ocean-based sports.
'From its ancient goddess origins to its modern interpretation, KORE stands for strength, power and allure. A woman's "core" is her most fundamental, defining asset, and KORE swimwear is designed to enhance it – allowing her natural beauty to show from the inside out.'
For 2014 KORE bring us 'Heatwave' ~ a 1950s Hollywood glamour meets Flashdance meets 1990s colour-blocking inspired collection of swim and surf separates and one-pieces. Never one to ignore any collection with reference to Flashdance, my favourites for 2014 are firstly a KORE signature style – the Maillot in onyx with high neck, cut out back and full brief. This is a sexy but substantial style. I also adore the strappy additions to Heatwave – the Bond Girl-esque bikini in peach never fails to amaze (the sheer aesthetical power of that one beach outfit that was enough to ensure Honey Ryder won't ever be forgotten.)
KORE swim brings together the essential elements of quality, fit, fashion and function. Shop online via their website or Free People. For a full list of retailers click here.

Here, the Dance Your Ass Off host, 36, dishes about why family time with her husband Judah and 1-year-old son Zev took priority over "me time" – and why there's nothing a great new pair of shoes can't fix.
Sorry I skipped out on my PEOPLE.com blog last week. I called in fat – I figured I had about 10 days saved up, so decided to use seven of them and take the whole week off! I saved three days for a long fat weekend in the fall with the family.
Seriously, don't you wish it worked that way? You could wake up one morning and start getting ready for work and then look in the mirror and say, "Forget it, I'm calling in fat." Or you're about to be heading out for a date and your jeans are too tight and instead of freaking out and putting on a pair of sweats, you could call the guy up and say, "Sorry, can't make the movies. I'm just too fat."
It all seems seems silly, the "calling in fat" theory. But I think we do that in different ways. Sometimes we do stay home or we don't go to a party because we don't like the way we look. Or, like me, I just didn't do my blog because I had nothing good to say! I had a really busy family week – my amazing wonderful 1-year-old son is acting like a 4 year old and into everything and needs all my attention. And my husband is off from work for a few weeks and he also needs all my attention.
So, do the math: It was a lot of fun family time this past two weeks, but not good me time. I love my boys and am not complaining. I am just saying I had no time to exercise and I didn't count a single calorie. But I wouldn't give any of my son's sweet kisses away even if it would help me lose weight! My husband, on the other hand, would take one for the team … LOL.
Marissa Jaret Winokur
My biggest challenge this week: getting back to "work" after calling in fat for a week.
I am most proud of: enjoying my family and not beating myself up. I'm not throwing in the towel, but I needed a break from the madness!
Read Marissa's last PEOPLE.com blog!

No one is publically forced to believe anything, at least in this country. Now Saudi Arabia, that's another story. Or North Korea, uffda, talk about force. But we in this country can believe what we want. BTW, if it's Christmas you don't like then don't exchange gifts, send cards, attend church, or cook a special meal. After all, it's a tad hypocritical to celebrate a holiday you don't believe in.Originally posted by Broca:
So without proof of the existence of this god these beliefs should be publicly forced on the rest of the population?

Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
GlaxoSmithKline hit the proverbial trifecta yesterday, as FDA approved two of its melanoma drug candidates, Tafinlar (dabrafenib) and Mekinist (trametinib), as well as a companion diagnostic designed to detect the gene mutations expressed by the tumors each treatment is designed to fight.
Both drugs are oral therapies approved for one indication, metastatic or unresectable melanoma in adult patients with the BRAF V600E mutation, which accounts for about 85% of all BRAF V600 mutations in metastatic melanoma, according to a study published last year in Clinical Cancer Research. Mekinist, a MEK inhinitor, is additionally approved for adults with the BRAF V600K mutation, accounting for another 10% of BRAF V600 mutations.
However, Mekinist is not indicated for patients who have received a prior BRAF inhibitor therapy, while Tafinlar, a BRAF inhibitor, is not indicated for patients with wild-type BRAF melanoma.
"GSK can now offer two new single-agent therapies to selected patients who have metastatic melanoma, a devastating disease with very low survival rates and few treatment options," Paolo Paoletti, M.D., president of GlaxoSmithKline Oncology, said in a statement.
GSK said Tafinlar and Mekinist will be available for prescription by early third quarter of this year.
Tafinlar and Mekinist are the third and fourth drugs approved in the past two years by FDA for metastatic or unresectable melanoma, with the earlier two treatments being Zelboraf (vemurafenib) and Yervoy (ipilimumab), both approved in 2011. Last year, Bristol-Myers Squibb generated $706 million in worldwide sales from Yervoy, compared with the CHF 234 million ($245.4 million) Roche racked up from Zelboraf.
The agency approved the drugs as well as the diagnostic THxID™-BRAF, developed by bioMérieux through a collaboration with GSK that began in 2010, based on data from clinical studies that supported the Tafinlar and Mekinist approvals.
Tafinlar was approved following Phase III clinical data showing a near doubling of the primary endpoint of progression-free survival—a median of 5.1 months compared to 2.7 months with dacarbazine—in the open-label BREAK-3 study. A total 250 previously untreated adult patients with BRAF V600E mutation-positive unresectable or metastatic melanoma were randomized to either drug.
Mekinist was approved after Phase III data showed a statistically significant increase in PFS, to a median 4.8 months compared with 1.5 months for chemotherapy. The open-label international METRIC study randomized to either treatment 322 unresectable or metastatic melanoma adult patients with a BRAF V600E or V600K mutation, who had no more than one prior chemotherapy regimen for advanced or metastatic disease and no prior BRAF or MEK inhibitor treatment.

Today's world has lost sight of many qualities
February 28, 2013
As a former 101 Airborne veteran, I read many military books. One of the best is the one I am reading now, The Archbishop Wore Combat Boots....
The letter quotes a story about an old woman who had an abortion when she was 20:
"Can you imagine what this woman had to deal with her entire life? It is an absolute lie that a woman will 'get over it' or 'forget' her abortion. Abortion is not health care. It's a death sentence."
My comments:
- Can you imagine how much worse this woman's whole life had been for being under the perverse influence of the Catholic Church where contraception was evil, sex was a defective weakness, and celibacy was the unrealistic ideal.
- Can you imagine how this woman, denied the option of contraception, shamed at having had sex, surrounded by judgmental Catholics and kept ignorant of her options, put off having an abortion until the mental and physical trauma were worse?
- Can you imagine this woman on death row for this abortion (as the Edgars would have it), receiving useless absolution from the church that made her life miserable, before being put to death?

More longing for the good ol' days when illicit sex was covered up and priests were reassigned rather than exposed and prosecuted for diddling among the lambs. When archbishops in their flowing red capes were adored as superheros rather than co-conspirators and over-stuffed leeches. Ah, those were the days.

- Linda Scott, of Guy Road, reported at 12:07 p.m. Tuesday that she parked in the Walmart parking lot on East State Street and returned to find the rear window of her van broken out.
- Anthony Cleveland, 21, of Girard, and Louis Burley, 25, of Youngstown, were each charged with minor misdemeanors for possession of marijuana after police were called for a suspicious vehicle at Monroe apartments at 10:26 a.m. Tuesday in the 2100 block of Monroe Street. A man reported a white Dodge Ram truck was parked in a parking space in the open garage area with a male inside and no one knew who he was and he had been there awhile. An officer found two males sleeping in the truck with the seats reclined back and woke them up. They said they were going to an apartment in the building facing the lot/garage in which they were parked for the spot for that apartment. The officer saw what appeared to be marijuana sitting in plain view on the center console between the two males and charged them for possession. Under a listing of property items taken from the car was marijuana and a semi-automatic Glock pistol, for which there allegedly was a conceal/carry permit, according to an officer. The vehicle was titled to a rental company in Chardon.
- Martin Roth IV, 16, of East Third Street, was cited for failure to yield after the northbound vehicle he was driving on North Union Avenue attempted to turn left onto Ninth Street, into the path of a southbound vehicle driven by Gina Powell, of Canfield, which struck the right front side of the Roth vehicle at 7:47 a.m. Tuesday.
- Police were called at 3:23 a.m. Tuesday to the 900 block of Highland Avenue where an unlocked vehicle had been entered and a red portable air tank and a wallet containing credit cards, a driver's license, bank debit card and $30 cash were removed, along with two packs of cigarettes and miscellaneous change.

- A traffic crash was reported at 11:52 a.m. Monday in the 2200 block of East State Street, but was not found after an officer checked the entire parking lot and waited for someone to come out of the business, which no one apparently did.
- A resident in the 1300 block of South Lincoln Avenue wanted her nephew out of the residence at 11:51 a.m. Monday and he would not leave. The nephew told police he was leaving and would find a ride to go elsewhere. About 15 minutes later, police were called again and told the nephew was back at the residence demanding money. He told police he was told he could wait outside for his ride and denied asking for money, claiming he was trying to leave money for the aunt, but it was refused. He was brought to the police station to wait for his ride.
- A woman in the 500 block of Franklin Avenue at 9:49 a.m. Monday reported a matter between her and the landlord regarding eviction and a gas shut off. She was told to contact the landlord since it was civil in nature.

After battling alcohol abuse, singer and actor Frank Stallone entered rehab at the Betty Ford Center over the weekend, his manager reveals to PEOPLE exclusively.
"With the support of his friends and family, Frank is taking a much needed break from his professional activities to regroup and focus on his health and well-being," his manager Randi Siegel tells PEOPLE in a statement. "This opportunity will enable him to move forward in his career from a solid foundation."
Stallone, 63, the younger brother of action star Sylvester Stallone, is perhaps best known for his Grammy-nominated contributions to the Staying Alive soundtrack. Most recently, he voiced a character in the HUB Network's series Transformers Prime.
He is expected to undergo a standard course of treatment at Betty Ford.
Says a rep for his brother: "Sylvester Stallone supports his brother's decision and this process."

Legally Speaking - Can't we all just get along?
If you're one of those readers who reads a book from cover to cover, you may have noticed that in the acknowledgements for Bicycling & the Law, I thanked Cronometro, the Madison, Wisconsin shop owned by Colin O'Brien. I first met Colin back in our college days, when we were in the same Latin class. I noticed that his legs were shaved, and we struck up a conversation about that. He said he was a bicycle racer, and worked for Andy Muzzi at Yellow Jersey. Colin suggested that I come down to the shop and check out the bikes. I did, and with his help, I got into racing myself. Colin went on to set the national hour record in 1981, and later joined the national team.
I'd like to thank everybody who has contacted me to request my appearance at their event. I will be speaking as extensively on "Bicycling & the Law" this year as my practice will allow, and will make plans to appear before any club, bike shop, or other engagement that is interested in hosting me. If you would like me to appear to speak at your event or shop, or to your club or group, please drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com (and if you would like to contact me with a question or comment not related to my speaking tour, please drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com). I'm looking forward to meeting as many of my readers as possible this year.

Ohio Obituary Index
More libraries have joined the Obit Index this Fall and will be importing some large quantities of data, along with manually entering obits daily. Our newest members are Massillon (Stark County) Public Library and Holmes County District Library in Millersburg. In January, Akron-Summit County will be joining us with their large holdings, bringing the number of libraries in the partnership to 55. Northeast Ohio is looking better and better. Counties in red have libraries which are partners in the Obit Index.
A repeat caution: When you find a reference to the Ohio Obituary Index on Ancestry.com or Archives.com, always be sure to click through and go to our site directly for the most complete information. Although these are great gateways to our data they are quite incomplete. Ancestry only displays 1.2 million names and we are now up to 2.2 million on our website. Also any corrections or additions to the original information given to them does not show up at this time.

The 2009 season is finally getting underway. After a long winter of over 10 feet of snow, it is time to get the boathouse jacket out, the grill cleaned off, and head out to watch some great lacrosse.
This valentine's weekend tell her you lover her with tickets to the UMBC/Delaware game.
It is my game of the week pick, and will be a great challenge to both teams right from the gate.
UMBC at Delaware
Saturday 1:00pm
UMBC is carrying a heavy load of expectation this year. The Retrievers had their best season ever last year posting a 12-4 record (undefeated in conference play), and falling just 1 goal short against UVA in the 1st round of the NCAA playoffs.
They look to continue their success this year and go even farther, as they returned 9 of 10 starters…that was until top defenseman Bobby Atwell went down with an ACL injury, and their top attackman Smith is rehabbing his knee. Smith might not be as effective due to his injury, however, his supporting cast should be able to pick up any slack. Linemates Matt Latham, and either Chris Jones scored 38 goals last year, and are joined by a very promising freshman in Rob Grimm. UMBC's first midfield looks solid with Wimer, Hopmann, and transfer Poillon who combined for 64 goals last season. UMBC's starting defense and goalie all return this year, looking stronger than before.
The only weakness for UMBC is mental. They have a habit of playing up or down to their opponents. Last year, UMBC looked a bit overrated as they were blown out by Delaware (7-15), and Rutgers (4-13). They also struggled against teams they should have easily handled in close wins over Yale (11-9), Binghamton (6-5 in OT), and Vermont (8-6). On the flipside, they beat Maryland, OSU, Albany twice, and lost to Hopkins by 2 and UVA by 1.
The Blue Hens of Delaware return 19 players from last years squad including standout attackman Curtis Dickson who posted 46 goals last season. Dickson will need to lead an inexperienced unit that aside from his numbers, combined for 5 goals last season. Delaware also has the ability to score from midfield with Martin Cahill and Beau Davis a duo that put up 52 points last year. On Defense, the hens have a very strong close unit with Pat Dowling and Tim Langmaid. What hurts their defense is the loss of goalie Tommy Scherr. Noah Fossner steps between the pipes this season. In his first start last week against St. Josephs, he allowed only 2 goals on 11 shots.
It is this unknown of Fossner that is Delaware's weakness this year. If he can step in seamlessly to the vacancy between the pipes, Delaware looks to have a solid year.
This game should be an excellent match up with no blowout this year. It is going to come down to UMBC's defense. Can they stop the Hens' figure out how to stop Dickson and Cahill who single-handedly scored more than all of UMBC last year?
I think UMBC is a solid team this year, but I think Delaware still pulls out a marginal win 10-8.
Tell me what you think? Who is going to win this game? What is YOUR pick for the best game to watch?
Every Thursday night I will be posting previews of the best games to watch. Stay tuned and follow me through the season.

To most, dancing on Valentine's Day means swaying cheek to cheek with a sweetheart or two-stepping nervously with a first crush in a middle school gymnasium.
For a group at the University of Northern Colorado, dancing this Valentine's Day means something different: putting a stop to violence against women.
Led by UNC senior Cassie Williams , the group will break out a flash mob dance at noon at the University Center, 10th Avenue and 20th Street, on campus as part of a global effort to end violence against women. Williams said a day when people are thinking about love sets the perfect stage to remind people that anything less than love is unacceptable.
"By dancing and moving we're taking control of our bodies and showing we refuse to accept violence," said Williams, 22.
The UNC event is part of V-Day's One Billion Rising, taking place today in more than 200 countries to raise awareness about efforts to end violence against women. This Valentine's Day marks the 15th anniversary of the nonprofit organization, headed by "The Vagina Monologues" playwright Eve Ensler.
The nonprofit's One Billion Rising campaign states that one in three women will be raped or beaten in her lifetime.
"One billion women violated is an atrocity; one billion women dancing is a revolution," the site states.
Williams said she learned that a friend in San Francisco, who is organizing a massive One Billion Rising flash mob, is a sexual assault victim. Williams considered flying out to join her friend's event, but she decided to start an event here to honor her friend's strength.
"She's picked herself up," Williams said. "She's worked to move forward."
Sarah Witty, administrative assistant at UNC's Women's Resource Center, said the school has participated in V-Day-sponsored events before, including putting on productions of "The Vagina Monologues," but this is the first time they've participated in a One Billion Rising event. When Williams proposed having the event on campus for the first time, Witty said her office was immediately supportive.
"People are going to stop. They're going to look, and it'll raise awareness," Witty said.
Men and women across the world will perform the same flash mob routine to the same song, "Break The Chain." Williams said she's been heading up workshops to help participants learn the steps, and others have been learning the dance on their own via YouTube. Williams is hopeful that about 100 people will participate.
Williams said it's not too late to participate, and she encourages "anyone who wants to empower themselves or anyone who wants to dance for someone" to join in.
Emily Hedstrom Lieser, assistant director of prevention education and advocacy services at UNC's Assault Survivors Advocacy Program, said her organization will continue participating in V-Day events with a production of "The Vagina Monologues" April 5-6. She said One Billion Rising provides a way for people to take a public stand against gender violence, which also affects men.
"The significance of that is having one billion shake the Earth and rise up against gender violence," Hedstrom Lieser said.

Background: Studies in the United States (US) have identified variation in incidence and survival of multiple myeloma (MM) patients of different races, and noted that MM is the most common hematologic cancer among African Americans. This analysis evaluated whether health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients in the US varies by race as they initiate treatment having been newly diagnosed with active, symptomatic MM.
Methods: Data were collected in Connect MM, a prospective US observational registry begun in September 2009. Data on patient demographics and clinical characteristics were provided by clinicians. HRQOL was reported by patients at enrollment within 2 months of diagnosis. Patients completed the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), EQ-5D, and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Multiple Myeloma (FACT-MM). Mean reported scores for BPI, EQ-5D and FACT-MM were analyzed by patient race. Statistical significance was ascertained by ANOVA using SAS 9.1.
Results: Baseline HRQOL data were reported by 1144 patients (enrolled in 228 centers) of whom 82% were White, 13% Black, and 6% Other race. The cohorts did not differ statistically by ECOG status or by multiple myeloma stage (assessed by either the International Staging System or the Durie and Salmon system). Compared to non-Blacks, Black patients reported less anxiety/depression on the EQ-5D (p=0.030) and better emotional well-being on the FACT-MM (p=0.003). No other statistically significant differences were noted between cohorts on the BPI, other EQ-5D domains (mobility, self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort), or other FACT-MM domains (physical, social/family, functional, and MM-specific considerations).
Conclusions: Initial results from the Connect MM Registry indicate that baseline HRQOL prior to initiation of treatment may vary by patient race with respect to emotional well-being, and specifically anxiety/depression. These results serve as a baseline reference for future analyses. As patients in the Connect MM Registry proceed through therapy, analyses should be conducted of patients by race, among other characteristics and factors, to determine whether it may be associated with subsequent clinical outcomes and HRQOL over time.

A FedEx truck crossed a median and slammed head-on into a bus carrying students in Northern California on Thursday night, killing 10 people.
The collision killed both drivers, five students and three chaperones.
At least 31 people were taken to local hospitals.
The reason the FedEx truck crossed the median remains under investigation, a probe that could take months.
The bus was taking students from various Los Angeles-area schools to visit Humboldt State University in Arcata. The collision occurred in Orland, about 100 miles north of Sacramento.
One of the survivors chronicled his experience through Twitter. "i was asleep and next thing you know i was jumping out for my life," Jonathan Gutierrez wrote, saying he couldn't believe what just happened.
The Sacramento County Coroner's Office identified one of the adult victims as Arthur Arzola, an admissions counselor at Humboldt. The 26-year-old was based in the Los Angeles area and considered the university like family, according to his profile on the school's website.

Can Buffalo secede? Not from New York State, mind you, just from Western New York.
At least then the city wouldn't have to share an identity with the very suburbs whose history of robbing and pillaging the urban core make Gov. Andrew Cuomo's IDA "reform" plan all the more galling because Buffalo would pay again.
Worthwhile projects to redevelop downtown and breathe life into one of the nation's poorest big cities would suffer under Cuomo's effort to stem the silliness that suburban industrial development agencies have tried to pawn off as "economic development."
The governor's proposal has development officials on edge, arguing that new limits on sales tax exemptions could mean no more downtown redevelopment like the Hotel @ the Lafayette or the office-apartments project at mostly vacant 298 Main St.
Such projects would be casualties in the effort to prevent more tax breaks for retail shops that skip town for a nearby locale, contributing nothing to the region's overall health or wealth while letting municipalities cannibalize one another.
These moves are abetted by tax breaks from suburban IDAs that already have done their share of damage to Buffalo, with little regard for how weakening the central city drags down the entire region.
The move against IDAs follows a history of Buffalo building owners having to go to court to stop suburban IDAs from pirating their tenants by using tax breaks to lure them to suburban office parks.
Now the harm is more indirect, but just as real. The end result is a sweeping Cuomo proposal targeting IDAs that critics insist would turn Buffalo into collateral damage.
It makes you long for the days when we at least gave lip service to "regionalism."
Remember that? It's the long-dormant idea that the urban core is the heart of Western New York and that everyone should be pulling together to strengthen it.
That concept, viable elsewhere, died an ignoble death here. But suburban IDAs have been like body snatchers, digging up the corpse and killing it all over again.
Yet reform proposals have gained little traction. While Cuomo's bill targets state tax incentives, another from Buffalo Assemblyman Sean Ryan would stop suburban IDAs from unilaterally giving away county money, as well.
Ryan, however, scoffs at much of the hand-wringing, noting that some city projects also have received questionable tax incentives while no one checks to see whether any of these projects meet their job goals. Still, he recognizes the need to aid projects in the urban core.
"I think we need to develop a program just for that. But right now, we've been unable to separate the baby from the bath water," Ryan said.
He's right. There has to be a way of blocking aid to traveling liquor stores, doughnut shops and car dealerships without hamstringing redevelopment critical to our central city.
But even if state lawmakers can modify Cuomo's proposal to mitigate the harm to downtown, it wouldn't solve the larger problem.
The real solution is to tear down the boundaries – on maps and in mindsets – that separate Buffalo from its suburbs and prevent Western New York from thriving as a region.

Pop quiz, readers! You're smooching hard with a new lover/an old flame/the guy who reads the meter, and you want to heat things up/increase the sizzle/toss more kerosene on the flaming abattoir that is your social life. What kind of song do you play on your stereo system/desktop speakers/gramophone?
A) Something obscure and artsy
Yes, this record existed.
B) Something classy and refined
45 Cat
She looks very talented. I bet she played for the Boston Pops.
C) The Addicts Sing again (Because that title is totally fucking amazing.)
Do note the Addicts-Mobile on the right.
The answer? Trick question! Trick options! Trick everything! You clicked on this article, so you're implicitly communicating to me -- one of Cracked's least helpful lifestyle gurus -- that you need my advice on deep-sixing your chances of ever getting laid. Here are the seven sexiest songs for the discerning individual whose life is one never-ending awkward silence.
#7. Tortura: The Sounds of Pain and Pleasure
The two volumes of this 1965 LP set are brimming -- from start to finish -- with the orgiastic groans of people getting throttled by whips and chains. Imagine a haunted house sound effects compilation wherein the Mummy tickles Dracula's bare bottom with a peacock plume dusted in garlic salt.
Tortura purports to be "a factual living record of pain and punishment," but it seems just as likely that this record was the work of a few blotto studio technicians armed with a spatula and an empty hatbox. The best cuts incorporate jaunty piano into the beatings, so at least you can fantasize that you've stumbled upon your grandparents' secret S&M parties.
"Well, my boy, on Sundays your grandma and I whip up some sarsaparilla sours and I drub her caboose with a rolled-up copy of Parade magazine."
#6. The Disco Songs of Barbara Markay
At the tail end of the disco era, singer Barbara Markay released two singular singles. In the opening 30 seconds of her first track -- "It's All Rite" -- Markay airily insists, "It's all right to fuck all night!" and "It's OK to suck all day!" After that, a mariachi band crashes through the eardrum of the listener, whose libido then promptly commits suicide. This song will cause your pheromones to transubstantiate into the tears of a fallen angel.
Upon listening to this, your gonads will detach from your body and buy a one-way ticket to an Alpine monastery.
To perform "It's All Rite" for television, Markay changed the lyrics to "It's all right to truck all night." Sadly, Markay abandoned this rhyme scheme for her second single, the trumpet-drunk "Give Your Dick to Me." It was redubbed as "Give Your Flesh to Me" (the label clearly should've gone with the superior bowdlerization that is "Give Your Duck to Me").
If abstinence-only crusaders were savvy, they'd tap this for a theme song.
#5. "No Sex" by the Still Trill Christians featuring P. Dub
If you're looking for the ultimate passive-aggressive way to not hook up with someone, invite that person to your bedroom, toss this on the stereo, and wordlessly dance like Mase circa 1997 until he or she goes home.
WARNING: This video contains wholesome scenes of shuffleboard.
Harlots-be-gone lyrics aside, "No Sex" has the sonic trappings of your modern rap single. If I were a strip club DJ, I'd drop this at midnight on a Friday, mash it up with some DC Talk, and see how long it takes for the bottles to begin flying. (And if nobody noticed, I'd spin Barbara Markay until I lost my job.)
It's worth mentioning that the music video for "No Sex" is pretty clutch, too. Its unglamorous visuals are in keeping with the song's themes of modesty. For example, the viewer is treated to several chaste shots of the Still Trill Christians enjoying canned ravioli.
In a regular rap video, that ravioli would be filled with champagne and $100 bills.
#4. "All I Have to Do Is Dream" by the Elm Street Group
I feel a smidge bad for razzing on the Still Trill Christians, as they seem like sincere dudes who just want to rap about keeping their doodles crisp. Let's follow it up with some unapologetic crapola.
Back in 1987, somebody got the bang-up notion to release Freddy's Greatest Hits, a cover album of rock-and-roll standards featuring Freddy Krueger on backup vocals. Well, that's not entirely accurate -- Freddy interjected vague orgasm noises every 20 seconds, over such tunes as "Wooly Bully" and the Everly Brothers' 1958 sock-hop staple "All I Have to Do Is Dream."
I know that "All I Have to Do Is Dream" isn't explicitly sexual, but hear me out. The song starts out innocuous (if cheesy) with Freddy just sort of mumbling some shit in the background. By the time you hit 1:29, he's moved on to a full-blown cackle that'll register with even the most distracted listener.
Now, imagine you're making out with someone for the first time. Demand to play this song on a loop all night. About 89 seconds in, any sane person will notice something's horrifically amiss, so you'll have to impassively bark, "I NEED THIS PLEASE THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I FEEL NORMAL." If you somehow get to third base, congratulations! You've found true love.
