<p>In recent days, a battle over renewal of the Violence Against Women Act has become increasingly partisan and increasingly heated.</p>
<p>There are two competing versions of a bill to renew the 1994 federal law. One, approved by the Senate, would expand some ways in which immigrants and other abuse victims are protected. The opposing House version, approved this week, proposes rolling back protections for several groups, including gay, lesbian and transgender victims, as well as immigrants.</p>
<p>And while proponents of the House bill say their goal is to prevent fraud, it?s the rollbacks that have caused the biggest outcry in recent days, with advocates for women, immigrants, LGBT victims and others saying such changes will only make victims more vulnerable.</p>
<p>It?s a broad piece of legislation, but here are two of the critical aspects of VAWA that apply to immigrants and which are being challenged:</p>
<p><strong>The self-petition process:</strong> As it stands, a key component of The Violence Against Women Act allows battered immigrants to petition for legal status without having to rely on an abusive U.S. citizen or legal resident spouse or other relative to sponsor them. ?For many immigrant victims of domestic violence, battery and extreme cruelty, the?U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family members who would sponsor their applications will threaten to withhold legal immigration sponsorship as a tool of abuse,? read the guidelines from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. ?The purpose of the VAWA program is to allow victims the opportunity to ?self-petition? or independently seek legal immigration status in the?U.S.?</p>
<p>The House Republican sponsored reauthorization bill proposes a more public approach, in which immigration agents would contact the alleged abusers to provide evidence. The adjudication process for the victim?s immigration case would also change, with the resolution of these cases tied to the investigation into or prosecution of the abuser. Critics say this not only strips away the protection of confidentiality for abuse victims, but hands more power to the abuser while putting the victims at risk for further abuse.</p>
<p><strong>The U-Visa:</strong> Victims of certain crimes, including those who have endured substantial physical or mental abuse as a result, are eligible for a special victims? visa called the?U-Visa. The visa grants these individuals protection and temporary legal status in the United States. Only 10,000 visas are granted a year, although people can remain on a waiting lists if the cap is met. As it stands now, the visa only lasts four years, but by the third, the person can seek permanent legal status.</p>
<p>The House version of the VAWA reauthorization would restrict the the permanent legal status aspect, keeping the visa temporary. The permanent status component is a key incentive for many undocumented crime victims, already fearful of authorities, to step forward and report a crime.</p>
<p>There are other wrinkles to the immigration-related battle over VAWA, including the involvement of a so-called ?mail order bride? company involved in the lobbying.</p>
<p>The next step is for the House and Senate to reconcile the two bills? dramatically different provision; for its part, the White House has threatened to veto the House version if it wins out.</p>

<p>In the gaming world, there are many options to choose from when it comes to the platform the sport is becoming performed on. There are Pc video games, and there are console games. The difference lies within the way in which the sport is played.</p>
<p>Gaming is literally a lifestyle option so each person prefers a slightly various method when it comes to the way they perform a game. Some like pc video games, simply because computer systems permit them to personalize the way they perform the game together with certain tweaks in visible details and controls.</p>
<p>Consoles don?t demand which you make this kind of tweaks, since they are constructed with only games in thoughts. So whenever a game comes out and it is destined for PlayStation, then, if you personal this kind of a console, you?re certain you are able to play that sport.</p>
<p>But whenever a sport comes out and it?s produced for PCs, you then need to verify on exactly what the system requirements that sport has in order to be performed properly. Because video games depend seriously on the specs, or components from the ?console? they?re operate, for Pc users this could imply there?s a constant struggle to stay forward from the gaming developer world and construct or buy the ultimate gaming computer.</p>
<p>In particular cases, it is a great deal simpler to escape this struggle by purchasing a console rather than needing to worry in case your system meets the necessary minimum components to be able to run a sport.</p>
<p>The downside to consoles is, in my view, the insufficient accuracy in movements and manage. For instance, in the event you were to play a shooter sport or FPS for short, it would be truly hard to aim in the opponents using a game pad.</p>
<p>On the other hand, when using a pc, it?s really simple to aim using your mouse in the opponents since you can fine tune the mouse sensitivity and really get the mouse to work at what speed you require.</p>
<p>Some peripherals allow you to modify that sensitivity correct within the gaming atmosphere and those are known as gaming peripherals. They are built only with PCs in thoughts.</p>
<p>Consoles however have created in recent years to create a more participating environment for your participant.</p>
<p>We have observed a great deal of latest advancements in this area in the Wii remote, allowing you to bodily ?swing? a golfing club, or within the Kinect globe, really detecting the body movements to interact within the gaming world. This implies that a console user might obtain a bit much more physical exercise than the usual regular Computer gamer.</p>
<p>Also, there are certain video games which might not work on consoles, like technique video games. These video games rely seriously on the utilization of a computer mouse for device choice and issuing commands.</p>
<p>There are a lot of benefits to Computer gaming in addition to console gaming, and you will find particular video games that can be performed on both platforms, with out the potential for moving from one kind towards the other. It?s a make a difference of level of engagement or immersion that every gamer demands that he get from the sport itself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google goes cancer: Researchers use search engine algorithm to find cancer biomarkers</p>
<p><i> &#13; Friday, May 18, 2012</i>
<p>The strategy used by Google to decide which pages are relevant for a search query can also be used to determine which proteins in a patient&#8217;s cancer are relevant for the disease progression. Researchers from Dresden University of Technology, Germany, have used a modified version of Google&#8217;s PageRank algorithm to rank about 20,000 proteins by their genetic relevance to the progression of pancreatic cancer. In their study, <span id="vocabhighlighter802" class="vh-Default-pen" title="publish">publish</span>ed in <em>PLoS Computational Biology</em>, they found seven proteins that can help to assess how aggressive a patient&#8217;s tumor is and guide the clinician to decide if that patient should receive chemotherapy or not.</p>
<p>The researcher&#8217;s own version of the Google algorithm has been used in this study to find new cancer biomarkers, which are molecules produced by cancer cells. Biomarkers can help to detect cancer earlier in body fluids or directly in the cancer tissue obtained in an operation or biopsy. Finding these biomarkers is often difficult and time consuming. Another problem is that markers found in different studies for the same types of cancer almost never overlap.</p>
<p>This problem has been circumvented using the Google strategy, which takes into account the content of a web page and also how these pages are connected via hyperlinks. With this strategy as the model, the authors made use of the fact that proteins in a cell are connected through a network of physical and regulatory interactions; the &#8216;protein Facebook&#8217; so to speak.</p>
<p>&#8220;Once we added the network information in our analysis, our biomarkers became more reproducible,&#8221; said Christof Winter, the <span id="vocabhighlighter803" class="vh-Default-pen" title="paper">paper</span>&#8216;s first author. Using this network information and the Google Algorithm, a significant overlap was found with an earlier study from the University of North Carolina. There, a connection was made with a protein which can assess aggressiveness in pancreatic cancer.</p>
<p>Although the new biomarkers seem to mark an improvement over currently used diagnostic tools, they are far from perfect and still need to be validated in a larger follow-up study before they can be used in clinical practice. It remains an open problem to turn these insights into novel drugs which slow down cancer progression. A first step in this direction is the group&#8217;s cooperation with the Dresden-based biotech company RESprotect, who are running a clinical trial on a pancreas cancer drug.</p>
<p>TU Dresden is a leading German university, whose Center for Regenerative Therapies was awarded excellence status in the national excellence initiative. The work was a cooperation between the bioinformatics group of Prof. Dr. Michael Schroeder and the medical groups of Dr. Christian Pilarsky and Prof. Robert Gr?tzmann.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- article-content --> 	                    NEW YORK, NY, May 17, 2012 &#8212; New York civil rights violation lawyers at The Perecman Firm join the New York Civil Liberties Union and a number of other civil rights advocacy organizations in their call to outlaw discrimination in New York State based on gender expression or identity.
<p>&#8220;The Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act, known as GENDA, is a bill that explicitly bans discrimination against transgender and gender non-conforming people in New York,&#8221; civil rights violation lawyer David Perecman explained.</p>
<p>GENDA passed the New York State Assembly on April 30, said the New York Civil Liberties Union. The bill now goes to the Senate Investigations and Government Operations Committee.</p>
<p>http://www.nyclu.org/issues/lgbt-rights/transgender-rights</p>
<p>&#8220;As a strong advocates of civil rights, we are calling on the governor and the New York State Legislature to pass this anti-discrimination law,&#8221; said David Perecman, founder of The Perecman Firm, one of New York&#8217;s civil rights violation law firms. &#8220;Transgender people are being treated unfairly and they need the law on their side.&#8221;</p>
<p>Currently, New York State civil rights laws prohibit discrimination based on a number of personal characteristics, including age, sex, religion, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity and disability. Transgender people are not protected from discrimination under current state law. New York civil rights lawyers at The Perecman Firm understand GENDA would change this, adding gender identity and expression to New York State&#8217;s existing human rights laws, and prohibiting discrimination against transgender and gender non-conforming people in employment, education, housing, credit and public accommodations.</p>
<p>To advance their message, the New York Civil Liberties Union released a report titled &#8220;Advancing Transgender Civil Rights and Equality in New York: The Need for GENDA,&#8221; that documents discrimination and harassment against transgender people.</p>
<p>The NYCLU report was released in advance of Equality &amp; Justice Day on May 8. According to the NYCLU, sixteen states and a number of localities including Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo, Ithaca, New York City, Rochester and Suffolk counties, have passed anti-discrimination laws covering gender expression and identity. </p>
<p>New York civil rights violation lawyers at The Perecman Firm represent victims of discrimination and hate crime in New York. For more information, please contact The Perecman Firm at http://www.perecman.com.</p>

<p>&#8220;Lawyer Advertising&#8221;<br />&#13; &#8220;Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.&#8221;</p>
<p>What GENDA Will Do</p>
<p>New York State human rights, civil rights and education laws currently prohibit discrimination on the basis of &#8220;age, race, creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation, military status, sex, disability, predisposing genetic characteristics, marital status, or domestic violence victim status.&#8221;39 GENDA will amend these laws to bar &#8220;unlawful discriminatory practices&#8221; on the basis of &#8220;gender identity or expression.&#8221;40 GENDA will also add &#8220;gender identity and expression&#8221; to the list of biases that can lead to enhanced sentencing as enumerated in the Hate Crimes Act of 2000.41. This section of the report describes in more detail the specific discriminatory actions prohibited by current anti-discrimination law, and the impact GENDA will have on these laws. It also briefly considers the effect GENDA will have on existing hate crimes law.</p>
<p>Civil Provisions<br />&#13; &#8211; Employment: The Human Rights Law&#8217;s sections on &#8220;Unlawful Discriminatory Practices&#8221; prohibit employers, employment agencies and unions from discriminating in their hiring, firing, promotions, training and advertising, among other things.42 Thus, when GENDA is enacted, an employer could not legally fire, refuse to hire or decline to promote an employee because that person identifies as, or is perceived as, being transgender or gender non-conforming.43 <br />&#13; &#8211; Housing and Real Estate: Landlords, lessees and sellers of real estate, including public or subsidized housing and commercial real estate, may not refuse access to housing or property to anyone based on characteristics listed in the Human Rights Law, which, when GENDA is enacted, will include gender identity and expression.44 Similarly, real estate agents will not be able to legally refuse service to anyone based on their gender identity or expression.45 Prohibitions on discrimination in housing do not apply to buildings with only one or two units or if the owner also lives on the premises; this exemption will remain <br />&#13; &#8211; Public Accommodations: Most for-profit businesses, service providers, non-profit organizations and public areas are considered &#8220;public accommodations&#8221; under New York State law.47 Shops, parks, professional offices, restaurants, bus stations and entertainment centers, among other public venues, all fall under the Human Rights Law&#8217;s definition of public accommodations.48 When enacted, GENDA will prohibit such places from denying services or access to facilities, or from otherwise treating people differently because of their gender identity or expression. GENDA will additionally ban businesses or public venues from indicating that they are not open to some people because of their gender identity or expression.49 Many transgender and gender non-conforming people face particular discrimination in access to health care. As clinics and hospitals fall within the definition of public accommodations, they will be required to treat patients for routine and specialized care regardless of gender identity or expression under GENDA (unless, of course, the patient&#8217;s medical needs fall outside the medical professionals&#8217; areas of expertise).50 Health care professionals without training in health care specifically related to the medical and/or surgical transition process may refer patients with transition-related health needs to more qualified practitioners, but will not be allowed to refuse to provide routine care merely out of bias against transgender patients.51<br />&#13; &#8211; Education: State Human Rights Law bars discrimination in admissions to schools, colleges and universities or access to their classes or facilities.52 Thus, when GENDA is enacted, New York schools will not be allowed to deny admissions and<br />&#13; access on the basis of gender identity or expression. Similarly, GENDA&#8217;s protections will prohibit all schools, public and private, from permitting the harassment of any student (by other students or by staff ) on the basis of gender identity or<br />&#13; expression.53 The Human Rights Law does, however, allow private religious schools to limit admission to students who share their religious denomination or faith.54 GENDA will not change this exemption.55<br />&#13; &#8211; Credit: Two separate sections of GENDA prohibit discrimination in financial matters and credit, including an outright ban on discrimination in the extension of credit.56 Invasive questions intended to reveal a person&#8217;s gender identity in the<br />&#13; mortgage application process, and discrimination in lending and in considering sources of income for credit eligibility, also will be illegal under GENDA.57<br />&#13; &#8211; Other Civil Provisions: Emergency Workers: GENDA will require fire departments and related authorities to allow all qualified personnel to serve as volunteer firefighters without regard to their gender identity or expression.58 Civil Rights Law: GENDA will amend the general civil rights law to add a blanket prohibition on the infringement of one&#8217;s civil rights and to ban the harassment of anyone based on gender identity or expression.59 GENDA&#8217;s protections will prevent all schools, public and private, from permitting the harassment of any student on the basis of gender identity or expression.<br />&#13; The Need for GENDA &#8211; 13 unique nor unprecedented; news stories abound of attacks against transgender and gender non-conforming people in restrooms, regardless of whether the victim used a men&#8217;s room or a women&#8217;s room.93<br />&#13; Sadly, to avoid the discomfort and threats of harassment that too often follow transgender people to the bathroom, many routinely limit their fluid intake and the time they spend in public spaces altogether.94 It is not acceptable for anyone in our state to have to suffer such physical and emotional discomfort because others harbor myths and baseless fears about them.</p>
<p>GENDA will provide vital protection for transgender and gender non-conforming New Yorkers who face severe discrimination and harassment in their daily lives. Extending the same protections against discrimination in housing, employment, credit, education and access to public accommodations that other New Yorkers already enjoy will help to correct this injustice. We ask legislators to consider the following points as they work towards a decision about passing this comprehensive anti-discrimination law to address the epidemic of prejudice against transgender and gender non-conforming people. Transgender and Gender Non-conforming People Deserve Freedom from Harassment and Exclusion Based on Gender Identity and Expression. A person&#8217;s gender is both intimate and central to individual identity, but it does not alter an individual&#8217;s character, worthiness or right to live free from discrimination.</p>
<p>The discrimination experienced by transgender and gender non-conforming people causes very high rates of homelessness and unemployment, and limits access to health care. GENDA, like other civil rights laws, seeks to protect individuals from discrimination and to provide people who are subjected to discrimination with legal redress. Under this law, transgender and gender non-conforming people would have the same equal rights as all other New Yorkers. Like existing anti-discrimination laws, GENDA will only protect people against mistreatment. GENDA will not confer &#8220;special rights&#8221; on anyone, but would simply extend essential human rights protections to all New Yorkers. Ending Discrimination Is an Essential Civil and Human Right &#8211; An Issue that Merits the Support of Every Elected Leader in New York State. There can be no excuse for protecting some, but not all, New Yorkers from discrimination. Democrats and Republicans alike can recognize the need for basic human rights and equal opportunity in order to permit all New Yorkers to function as productive members of their communities.107 Codifying the rights of all people to work, find homes, use transportation and conduct business regardless of gender identity or expression ultimately benefits all New Yorkers. Both parties can and should unite in support of these much-needed civil rights protections.</p>
<p>Dialogue about GENDA has shown that there are many ways in which New York law can better ensure the safety and well-being of all of its citizens. Enacting protections for transgender and gender non-conforming people in the vital areas of employment, housing, public accommodations and education will help to correct a grave injustice. It is the responsibility of elected officials to correct injustices wherever they exist in our civil and criminal laws. Enacting GENDA will communicate that New York&#8217;s leaders no longer tolerate the use of discriminatory animus to interfere with the ability of transgender and gender non-conforming people to live, work and contribute to our state.</p>
<p>There can be no excuse for protecting some, but not all, New Yorkers from discrimination.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-238295" title="Colorectal Cancer Beta Blockers" src="http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2012/05/Colorectal-Cancer-Beta-Blockers.png" alt="" width="475" height="275"/></p>
<p>Colorectal cancer risk is not reduced by taking blood pressure medications called beta blockers, according to a new study published online on May 14th.</p>
<p>According to MSN Health, Dr. David Robbins, associate chief of the Center for Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopy at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, explained that:</p>
<blockquote readability="9"><p>?One of the holy grails in the war on cancer is preventing angiogenesis, which is the growth of new blood vessels to feed tumor cells?Some investigators have speculated that an indirect benefit of certain blood pressure medicines may be to help curb the growth of new blood vessels in breast and perhaps colon cancer.?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Online reports that the study was published in the journal <em>Cancer</em>, and was led by Michael Hoffmeister, who works at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg. The study compared beta blocker use in more than 1,700 colorectal cancer patients to its use in the same number of people who are cancer free.</p>
<p>They also took into account other factors, such as weight, smoking status, and other patient factors. The result was that the researchers found no link between using beta blockers and reduced risk of colon cancer.</p>
<p>The results did not surprise Robbins, who stated:</p>
<blockquote readability="8"><p>??The few studies on this matter have been contradictory and it?s unlikely that we?ll ever see this sort of protective effect, since cancer is an incredibly complex disease driven by a myriad of unique biologic pathways.?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Dr. Mark Pochapin, director of the division of gastroenterology at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City is also not surprised. He said of the study, and cancer that:</p>
<blockquote readability="9"><p>?Men and women at average risk should start getting screened at age 50. Those with certain risk factors, such as a family history of colorectal polyps or cancer, should talk to their doctors about screening at a younger age.?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>He went on to say that, instead of taking beta blockers to reduce risk, that making lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking and maintaining a health body weight, will be more beneficial in reducing the risk for colorectal cancer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> 	J.P. Morgan has hired Citi?s Jing Zhao to head up its financial institutions group (FIG) for emerging Asia, according to an internal announcement yesterday. Emerging Asia is J.P. Morgan?s name for Asia ex-Japan, which means Zhao will take over part of Olivier de Grivel?s former job. De Grivel was head of FIG for Asia-Pacific before he retired from the firm earlier this year.</p>
<p> 	J.P. Morgan will no longer have someone to oversee FIG for the entire region, but the division is now part of the responsibilities of the two co-heads of investment banking. FIG was not part of investment banking before the firm introduced the co-head structure during the fourth quarter last year.</p>
<p> 	The FIG business in Australia is headed by Andrew Best, while FIG in Tokyo is led by Katsuyuki Kuki, the firm?s co-head of investment banking for Japan.</p>
<p> 	Zhao joined Citi in 2006 and was most recently co-head of FIG for Asia ex-Japan as well as chairman of China global investment banking. Titles aside though, she was essentially Citi?s head of FIG for China, while fellow co-head Simon Yoo was responsible for the rest of the Asia-Pacific region.</p>
<p> 	According to sources, she resigned from Citi a couple of weeks ago and is currently on gardening leave. She is expected to join J.P. Morgan sometime in July.</p>
<p> 	In her new job, she will work closely with her colleagues in the bank?s global and regional product groups to provide FIG clients with ?innovative strategic ideas and effective market solutions,? the announcement said. She was described as having ?deep industry experience?.</p>
<p> 	Citi has not been one of the most prominent banks with regard to China FIG in recent years, however. It did not have a role on the IPOs for either Agricultural Bank of China, China Pacific Insurance (CPIC) or New China Life Insurance, which are three of the sector?s biggest deals in recent years, though it was a joint global coordinator on Haitong Securities? $1.67 billion Hong Kong IPO in April this year, as was J.P. Morgan.</p>
<p> 	Zhao will be based in Hong Kong and will report to Todd Marin and Therese Esperdy, the bank?s co-heads of investment banking for Asia-Pacific. Esperdy, who was previously head of global debt capital markets, transferred to Asia to take up this joint role in October last year. Prior to her arrival, Marin was the sole head of investment banking in the region.</p>
<p> 	Before joining Citi, Zhao spent more than a decade at Morgan Stanley where she held various investment banking roles in New York, Hong Kong and Beijing with a strong focus on FIG clients.</p>

		Paint improves the value of your home while enhancing the look and design of your interior. Regardless of mixture and adherence, the paint on your walls and ceiling will eventually fade away and repainting must be done before surfaces begin to corrode. Painting can be an expensive task, but with proper estimate, you can surely avoid overspending.
<p>  Because walls and ceilings of residential buildings are often four-sided figures, it is easy to compute for surface area, especially when rooms in the house have equal heights. Multiply the length and width of each face and add the results together to get the total surface area that needs repainting. If some fixed furniture or architectural elements are obstructing a portion of the wall, subtract their area from the initial value, unless their size is negligible. Use &#8220;square foot&#8221; as unit of measure in all your computations to avoid making complex conversions.    </p>
<p>  1 gallon of commercially available paint can cover a surface area of around 400 to 450 square feet depending on the smoothness of the surface. Rough surfaces require more strokes and therefore consume twice as much amount of paint as smooth surfaces. Check the surfaces of your wall to accurately measure how much paint you need to apply.    </p>
<p>  Aside from paint, you also need to compute for the amount of primer required. A primer improves the adherence between the paint and the wall, eventually prolonging the life of the paint. Most experts in home painting estimate the amount of primer needed to be the same with the amount of paint, which is 1 gallon per 400 to 450 square feet.    </p>
<p>  To deal with rough surfaces without smoothing the concrete wall with pure cement, some home builders in cities like Rome, Georgia apply more primer. They do this in such a way that for every 400 to 450 square feet of rough wall and ceiling, the amount of primer should be twice as much as that of paint without necessarily reducing the amount of paint. This makes the entire Rome painting task less expensive since primer is cheaper than paint.    </p>
<p>  Commercially available paint and primer are placed in cans with labels containing their specific amount. The price of each gallon of paint or primer may vary depending on the brand or mixture best for Rome painting endeavors that would involve different types of surfaces. Compute the number of gallons of paint and primer needed by dividing the total area with 400 square feet (minimum).    </p>
