New cancer resource opens in Green Bay area

HOWARD - After helping family members, sisters Jennifer Hickey and Kimberly Demeny knew they could fill a need for people dealing with cancer.

?There was a lot of advocacy they needed to help them get alternative therapies or to figure out ways of getting what they needed,? said Demeny.

In August, Demeny's husband Michael Hermes died because of a brain tumor. She says it was partly his idea to open a cancer concierge.

On Thursday, the sisters held the grand opening for Connect Inc, a non-profit cancer concierge.

?He wanted to do something more that was working with people one on one,? Demeny said of her husband. ?This was the vision that we all had together.?

?Our job is to bring resources together to empower people on their own journey,? said Hickey.

The sisters say Connect Inc, won't provide medical advice. They say the organization will help someone research their type of cancer, standards of care, treatments, clinical trials and second opinions.

?We know that once somebody hears those words "you have cancer" it's a completely life changing experience,? said Hickey.

?Knowing that you can get what you need, you can extend someone's life, you can give someone hope that might not have it, by advocating for them, if they can't do it for themselves, that's really exciting and really meaningful,? said Demeny.

Demney says through the concierge, she hopes to help to others with cancer, just as she did for her husband.

?If he didn't have a team of people....he wouldn't have even had the kind of time that he had,? said Demeny. ?He unfortunately would have died a lot earlier, but he remained hopeful and that's what we want to give someone else.?

President Obama Visited Damaged Malankara Orthodox Church on Staten Island: ?He Spoke to Us as If He Knew Us for a Long Time?

This is the damage to the present building of the parish? there?s a link below for the parish? click on it, and there are directions on how you can contribute to them. Send ?em a fin or two? repairs ain?t cheap and money doesn?t grow on trees.

When US President Barack Obama visited Staten Island on 15 November, the New York City borough devastated by Hurricane Sandy, he met with members of St George Malankara Orthodox Church, which suffered moderate damage. Sunny Konniyoor, a member of the church, told?India Abroad, ?We didn?t expect to meet the President. We stood near the church, hoping to see the President going that way. Instead of driving through, Obama walked in the New Dorp Beach neighbourhood, inspecting damage and interacting with residents. Only those who live in the area can remain there. Konniyoor said, ?Since we?re members of the church, the Secret Service allowed us to stand near the church?.

When the President saw the group, which included Vicar Fr Alex Joy, Dr Skaria Oommen, Konniyoor, and his son Martin, he walked towards them. Martin, an accountant, congratulated?Obama on his election victory. The president inquired about his work. The team described to the President the extent of damage to the church, which was the first Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church building in North America. The church didn?t have flood insurance. They didn?t expect much help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Konniyoor, an Obama supporter, said, ?He spoke to us as if he knew us for a long time?.

The President suggested they take a photograph. A state lawmaker took a camera from Martin and clicked a photograph. New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and several top officials accompanied Obama. After walking down a block that had been all-but-demolished in the storm, Obama said, ?We?re reminded that we?re bound together and have to look out for each other. We?re going to have to put some of the turf battles aside. We?re going to have to make sure everybody?s focused on doing the job, as opposed to worrying about who?s getting the credit, or, who?s getting the contracts, and all that stuff that sometimes goes into the rebuilding process?. Of 43 deaths attributed to the storm in New York City, 23 were on Staten Island.

Editor?s Note:

You hear much bloody noise from Paffhausen, Dahulich, Reardon, Freddie M-G, Dreher, and Mattingly about how the Church is allied to ?conservative? rightwing politics. Nothing could be further from the truth. The majority of real ethnic Orthodox (and converts in real parishes, as opposed to konvertsy conventicles) voted for the President. Don?t forget, ethnic Orthodox votes put the President over the top in the Valley. Real Orthodox came home? as for the loudmouthed konvertsy, they lie? there?s no kinder way of expressing it. St Aleksei Toth blessed the Wobblies? not the greedy bosses. HH blessed Hugo Ch?vez Fr?as? not the warmongering Republican Party.

Internet, phones cut in parts of Syrian capital

BEIRUT (AP) ? Syrian activists say authorities have blocked Internet and cell phone signals in parts of the nation's capital, where rebels and government troops are engaged in fierce clashes.

An activist near Damascus who gave his name as Abu Sham says the government cut the Internet in the southern neighborhoods of the capital on Thursday.

Another activist, Abu Qais al-Shami, who lives outside the country, also says land lines, mobile phone signals and the Internet were cut in several of the capital's southern neighborhoods, including Yarmouk and Tadamon, around noon.

He says he has been able to communicate with contacts in Syria by using satellite telephones.

The government has previously cut phone lines and Internet access in areas where regime forces are conducting major military operations.

Europe sees US debt crisis as dire as its own

5 hrs.

Now it?s Europe?s turn to worry about U.S. economy.

American officials have been wringing their hands for the past two years about the heavy burden of government debt piling up in Europe. On Tuesday, Europe?s Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development warned that the U.S. "fiscal cliff" threatens prospects for the eurozone?s economic recovery.

?We?re talking here about the medium and long-term viability of the United States economy,? OECD Secretary General Angel Gurria told CNBC. ?Not only to avoid the fiscal cliff but then get to a moment where (U.S.) debt stops rising and the debt to GDP starts coming down to an area where we call all breathe more comfortably.?

In its latest Economic Outlook, the influential Paris-based think tank said that?with the eurozone?s economy already headed in reverse, the United States faces the same fate if lawmakers fail to agree a deal to avoid a combination of tax hikes and budget cuts that will otherwise take effect next year.

?The US ?fiscal cliff,' if it materializes, could tip an already weak economy into recession, while failure to solve the euro-area crisis could lead to a major financial shock and global downturn,? Gurria told reporters in Paris.

Even if a deal is reached, the OECD joined other forecasters calling for a continued global economic slowdown in 2013. For the U.S., that means expansion of just 2.0 percent, versus the OECD's 2.6 percent forecast in May.

The eurozone economy is expected to shrink by 0.4 percent this year and another 0.1 percent next year, before recovering at a weak 1.3 percent growth rate in 2014, the forecasters said.

Negotiations in Washington continued this week on a broad range of alternatives to the current budget law, which would impose roughly half a billion dollars in government spending cuts and tax increases starting Jan. 1. Uncertainty over the outcome has depressed hiring and investment by businesses, some economists say.

On Monday, White House economists estimated that the budget measure, unless altered or postponed, would carve some $200 billion out of consumer spending, which accounts for about two thirds of the U.S. economy. Together with deep cuts in government spending, the package would wipe out the current weaker recovery and shrink the U.S. economy by about 0.5 percent in 2013, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.

Congress and the White House have been deadlocked on solutions since the law was enacted after a bitter battle in July 2011 over increasing the government?s legal borrowing authority. Though President Barack?Obama and Republican leaders have made conciliatory comments since the November election, there has been little in the way of concessions needed to reach a compromise.

Most observers believe that the worst of the tax hikes will be avoided ? if only because they would be so politically unpopular. The so-called Alternative Minimum Tax, for example, would ensnare some 28 million households with new taxes next year unless Congress once again agrees to a ?patch.?

But broad compromise on reforming the thicket of deductions, exemptions and other breaks in the tax code, along with restructuring the massive Medicare and Social Security entitlement programs, will be much harder to pull off.

?I think it is a romantic hope that to believe that these politicians can agree to a grand bargain that will fundamentally fix our budget deficit issue,? said Richard Hoey, chief economist at BNY Mellon. ? I think that is totally unrealistic.?

That kind of sweeping fundamental reform has eluded European governments for years.

On Monday, facing the latest precipice in their two-year saga trying to head off a Greek debt default, European leaders hammered out yet another bailout package that calls on the Greek government to pare down its debt in the coming decade.

But while the latest plan appeared to buy more time, the threat of the longer-term crisis remains.

?Athens? cash reserves must be down to vapors,? said Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics. ?Any interruption in implementation of this scheme could cause an ugly default, with little or no warning.?

The details of the latest ?solution? are murky, and the plan still faces opposition from both individual eurozone governments and potential legal challenges.

Terms of a proposed buyback of Greek debt that would leave some bond holders with losses haven?t been worked out. And the 44 billion euro ($53 billion) bailout payments over the next two months will be made in stages ? with each new payment conditioned on Athens meeting milestones called for by its European benefactors.?

The longer term solution to Europe's debt crisis is even murkier - a possible portent of what U.S. lawmakers face if they can't work out a broad tax and spending compromise soon.?

Major breakthrough in deciphering bread wheat's genetic code

ScienceDaily (Nov. 28, 2012) ? Scientists, including Professor Keith Edwards and Dr Gary Barker from the University of Bristol, have unlocked key components of the genetic code of one of the world's most important crops. The first analysis of the complex and exceptionally large bread wheat genome, published today in Nature, is a major breakthrough in breeding wheat varieties that are more productive and better able to cope with disease, drought and other stresses that cause crop losses.

The identification of around 96,000 wheat genes, and insights into the links between them, lays strong foundations for accelerating wheat improvement through advanced molecular breeding and genetic engineering. The research contributes to directly improving food security by facilitating new approaches to wheat crop improvement that will accelerate the production of new wheat varieties and stimulate new research. The analysis comes just two years after UK researchers finished generating the sequence.

The project was led by Neil Hall, Mike Bevan, Keith Edwards, Klaus Mayer, from the University of Liverpool, the John Innes Centre, the University of Bristol, and the Institute of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, Helmholtz-Zentrum, Munich, respectively, and Anthony Hall at the University of Liverpool. W. Richard McCombie at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and Jan Dvorak at the Univerisity of California, Davis, led the US contribution to the project.

The team sifted through vast amounts of DNA sequence data, effectively translating the sequence into something that scientists and plant breeders can use effectively. All of their data and analyses were freely available to users world-wide.

Professor Keith Edwards said: "Since 1980, the rate of increase in wheat yields has declined. Analysis of the wheat genome sequence data provides a new and very powerful foundation for breeding future generations of wheat more quickly and more precisely, to help address this problem."

The analysis is already being used in research funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) to introduce a wider range of genetic variation into commercial cultivars and make use of wild wheat's untapped genetic reservoirs that could help improve tolerance to diseases and the effects of climate change. The wheat breeding community and seed suppliers have welcomed the research.

The sequence data has been deposited at the European Nucleotide Archive and is also available from databases in the UK and Germany.

Researchers from the European Bioinformatics Institute, Kansas State University, and the United Sates Department of Agriculture were also vital to the project's success. The research was possible thanks to major funding was form the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), the EU and the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Professor Douglas Kell, BBSRC Chief Executive, said: "In the face of this year's wheat crop losses, and worries over the impact on prices for consumers, this breakthrough in our understanding of the bread wheat genome could not have come at a better time. This modern strategy is a key component to supporting food security and gives breeders the tools to produce more robust varieties with higher yields. It will help to identify the best genetic sequences for use in breeding programmes."

David Willetts, Minister for Universities and Science said: "This groundbreaking research is testament to the excellence of Britain's science base and demonstrates the capability we want to build on through the agri-tech strategy currently being developed. The findings will help us feed a growing global population by speeding up the development of new varieties of wheat able to cope with the challenges faced by farmers worldwide."

Credit Expert Completely Destroys Occupy Wall Street's Financial

A couple of months ago, Occupy Wall Street quietly published its own version of a personal finance manifesto.

In a nutshell, "The Debt Resistor's Operations Manual" is 122 pages of some of the dodgiest financial advice we've ever seen.

Though there are a few decent pieces of information, it's all lost as soon as they start encouraging cash-strapped consumers to lie, cheat, and steal their way to a debt-free lifestyle.

In one particular passage, Occupy hashes out several steps to living credit-free. We ran them by credit expert John Ulzheimer, President of Consumer Education at?SmartCredit.com and blogger for?Mint.com.?

And he found it all quite amusing.

Below, we list a few parts of Occupy's strategy, along with Ulzheimer's reaction.

Occupy Wall Street:? For housing utilities, if you have a roommate, you can ask them to put the accounts in their name. If you live alone, ask a relative or friend.

John Ulzheimer: And as far as turning your family into lenders, family members don't want to lose money any more than lenders want to lose money. They'll know after the first "default" that you're not worthy of borrowing money. So technically, you're still being assessed, just by family members. Further, nothing tears a family apart faster than lending money to other family members. ?Suggesting that people borrow money from family members is step one toward family disharmony.

OWS: Opt for services that don?t require credit checks. If a company requires a check, try to talk them out of it. Build up an old-fashioned trusting relationship by spending time?talking with the person. They may choose to bypass the?credit check.?

JU: The problem is that most lenders and service providers pre-determine their underwriting standards so talking to someone or building the trust of one person in a large bank is meaningless because the decision to let you have the service has already been made by someone else you'll never meet in a city you'll never visit.

OWS: Create your own credit report: put together a portfolio showing you are a trustworthy person (reference letters,?job history, life narrative).

JU: That's as worthless as the paper it's written on. ?Lenders and service providers don't consider self made credit reports because of the chances that they're not honest...The only way to reject the system, other than ceremonially, is to never, ever borrow money for any reason from any company. Otherwise, you're in the system. You may not like it, but you're in the system.

OWS: Build networks of mutual support in your community so you?rely less on outside services.

JU: I'm sorry but I'm laughing reading this. ?There are over 100,000,000 people in this country (part of the 99%) that have great credit and don't have any issues getting loans or services at great rates and terms. Again, like their letter to the CFPB, it appears that whomever is in charge of OWS's "credit strategy" doesn't understand credit. And you can quote me on that one.

HBT: Seems like everyone is interested in Stanton

The Marlins have stated that they?re not shopping young slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who is still inexpensive and the last consistent source of offensive production on their active roster.

Of course, that hasn?t stopped teams from calling.

A major league source told Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe this weekend that ?the Phillies, Red Sox, Yankees, Orioles, Cubs and many more? have inquired about Stanton since that blockbuster trade with the Blue Jays was made public. But Cafardo notes that?commissioner?Bud Selig is ?watching the Marlins closely? and ?may not look to fondly upon a deal for the Marlins? biggest draw.?

Stanton, who just turned 23 years old, batted .290/.361/.608 with 37 home runs and 86 RBI in 123 games this past season for Miami. If the Fish do deal him, they?ll want a loaded package of prospects in return.

ZTE pushes its first Android 4.2 update to mid-range device

ZTE Logo

In a rather quick turn-around since the code has gone live, ZTE has just announced that it is pushing an Android 4.2 update to one of its devices. Interestingly enough, this update is pushing to a mid-range device only being sold in the Chinese market, the N880E. This device has a 4-inch WVGA screen, 1GHz processor and just 512MB of RAM, but ZTE has still given the green light to push the update. The N880E was one of the first devices in the world to ship with Android 4.1 (which was nearly stock as well), so in that regard it's fitting that this was the device chosen to receive the first 4.2 update as well.

This is an astonishingly quick update cycle that ZTE is operating on considering that even Nexus devices just received the update a couple of weeks ago, some of which likely still haven't pulled it down. We really wish more manufacturers out there could operate this quickly when it comes to software updates.

What's all the Hype about Self Esteem? | LifeScape

Share via email

?It seems there is way too much talk about self esteem but despite all the discussion and well intended efforts to bolster it, healthy self esteem remains mysterious and elusive for many.

The more I learn about ?and work with people the more I believe a healthy self esteem is the foundation a of a healthy happy life.

That being said I can recall, especially when I had school age children, lots of odd ideas about what it was, how to instill it and in particular how to avoid squashing it. Some of this information was good, ?some really missed the mark and did not foster real self esteem and may have done the opposite.

So what is self esteem? I like this definition I found on wikipedia:

Self-esteem, is a term in?psychology?to reflect a?person?s overall emotional evaluation of his or her own worth. It is a judgement of oneself as well as an attitude toward the self. Self-esteem encompasses?beliefs?(for example, ?I am competent?, ?I am worthy?) and?emotions?such as triumph,?despair,?pride?and?shame.[1]??The self-concept is?what we thinkabout the self;?self-esteem, is the positive or negative evaluations of the self, as inhow we feel?about it?.[2]

Self-esteem is a disposition that a person has which represents their judgements of their own worthiness.[3]?In the mid 1960s,?Morris Rosenberg?and social-learning theorists defined self-esteem in terms of a stable sense of personal worth or worthiness.[4]?Nathaniel Branden?in 1969 defined self-esteem as ??the experience of being competent to cope with the basic challenges of life and being worthy of happiness?. According to Branden, self-esteem is the sum of?self-confidence?(a feeling of personal capacity) and?self-respect(a feeling of personal worth). It exists as a consequence of the implicit judgement that every person has of their ability to face life?s challenges,to understand and solve problems, and, their right to achieve?happiness, and be given respect.[5]

Self esteem then is your self regard or perception. High, good or healthy self esteem is what we are after.

This is not ego, arrogance or superficial. It is not based on deeds or accomplishments. It is not fragile, dependent on others or defensive.

It is a quiet confidence, acceptance and a comfortable feeling that is lasting.

I believe that is what we need as our foundation to be our best. This acceptance and appreciation of who we are , a clear understanding of ours as well as others intrinsic worth and value and a belief in our capability to manage our lives.

How does it feel to have that?

If you do not, how much of a difference might you experience in your life if you did?

For me it has been impactful although late coming.

An unstable tumultuous childhood did little to develop a sense of self esteem in my childhood, in fact quite the contrary.

I was in my late thirties with many self help books, classes, religious studies and philosophies under my belt before I came to realize my own self acceptance, worth and esteem.

A workshop by Debbie Ford provide the impetus to bring everything together for me. A moment of transformation where I saw things and saw myself differently? permanently and completely.

It is a life changer; not that one still does not have moments of doubt and absolute idiocy,(many), ?just that those moments do no damage and the sense that all is well remains intact. It is a knowing that you are more than what you do or how you appear. It changes how you look at yourself of course but also it is the truest route to acceptance of others and that is such a pleasure as well.

If you are the fortunate minority that have healthy self esteem enjoy it. It will support and propel you in all your pursuits.

However, if this has been a struggle for you, know that you may count yourself with the majority but need not remain that way.

With an open mind and some effort this can be improved and when it is everything in life improves with it.

What do you think are the top 3 things that make you valuable?

What if those things were gone?

Are you dependent on the good opinion or praise of others for a sense of pride or accomplishment?

Do you become angry or hurt when someone criticizes you?

What might it be worth to discover your worth and find real acceptance and healthy self esteem?

You are worth the effort? believe me

Nintendo Stops Development of Games for Wii Game Console - X ...

While Nintendo plans to continue selling its original Wii game console for a while, as it believes that it still has value even after the Wii U launch, the company itself does not have any new games for Wii in development, which clearly signals the end of the platform when it comes to core gamers. At the same time, Nintendo Wii will remain on the market as a cost-efficient option.

?Wii itself is really interesting because there are so many people who have that system and know what that system is that there's still a lot of opportunity for software sales on Wii. [?] I think there is also the potential for a lot of people who still have not purchased Wii, who might be interested at the right price. [?] There are [no new Wii games in the development pipeline] right now,? said Bill Trinen, the director of product marketing at Nintendo of America, in an interview with GameSpot web-site.

Nintendo Wii is Nintendo?s most successful home console ever with life-to-date sales of around 100 million units over the last six years. Without doubts, there will be a lot more games developed for Wii sold, however, core gamers will now have to migrate to Wii U as very few new titles will be released exclusively for Wii.

At present, Nintendo sells Wii console with Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort titles on a single game disc, as well as a Wii Remote Plus and a Nunchuk controller at a suggested retail price of $129.99.

It kind of makes sense. With a huge installed base, other software houses will continue to make software for the Wii, at least to some extent.

Nintendo needs to make sure the Wii U takes off and picks up momentum. Putting all their resources into is sensible, because it won't sell without good games, and if it doesn't sell no one will make games for it.
