Tag: Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill 2021
December 15, 2022 Interfaith Diversity Network Of West Africa
Davis Mac-Iyalla, Executive Director of IDNOWA, talks about a recent investigation by CNN into how some western governments, who have pledged to support LGBTQI+ rights, have also funded supporters of a controversial bill in Ghana that would introduce harsh sentences for advocating for sexual and gender minorities' rights.
I think the Western culture that promotes equality and diversity should not compromise their standards. Why aren't these western governments looking at the groups they are funding to see if they share the same values.
I don't believe in giving funds conditionality but I am not in favour of bigots and hypocrites receiving foreign support while they report that it's only LGBT+ supporting groups that are getting support from foreign donors.

Accra, Ghana (CNN): An exclusive CNN investigation has found that some Western governments who pledged to support LGBTQI+ rights have also funded supporters of a controversial bill in Ghana that could introduce harsh sentences for advocating for sexual and gender minorities' rights.
In the five years up to 2021, at least $5 million in aid from Europe and the US went to projects run by or benefiting churches in Ghana whose leaders have backed this bill and have a long track-record of anti-LGBTQI+ statements and activities, according to CNN's analysis of financial data and communication with the donors.
There is no indication the funding identified went to any explicitly anti-LGBTQI+ activities. However, these religious organizations are now pushing for the anti-LGBTQI+ bill, introduced last year and officially known as the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, to be made law.
In one instance, CNN's analysis revealed that more than $140,000 of UK and US taxpayers' money in 2018-2020 went to the Christian Council of Ghana (CCG), an association of 29 churches and Christian organizations, which in 2020 said: "As we indicated in times past, our cultural norms and religious values as a nation do not support LGBTQ rights."
During that same period, the UK became co-chair of the international Equal Rights Coalition to "protect the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people" and promote "inclusive development" worldwide.
CNN's analysis also found that some other members of the Equal Rights Coalition — the US, Germany, and Italy — have funded projects by or for churches in Ghana that have similarly opposed LGBTQI+ rights before, during, and after they benefited from aid money.
Human rights advocates called Western donors' funding practices exposed by CNN "surprising" and "inconsistent."

IDNOWA and its members in Ghana are standing up against the so-called 'Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, 2021,' one of the most repressive and far-reaching anti-gay laws so far proposed on the African continent.
A Christian Prayer for LGBTQ People Who Face Persecution
Loving God, source of all creation,
you have endowed all people with inherent dignity and worth,
and you invite us to treat each other in ways that honour and value that worth.
Too often the lives, rights, and freedom of LGBTQ people
have not been valued in our communities and our society.
We pray that your justice will prevail on the earth.
Look with favour on your LGBTQ people around the world
who wait to see whether their rights will be protected.
Give all leaders a spirit of wisdom and understanding,
that they may discern what is right.
Give us the courage to reconcile
with those who have been harmed by religion.
Help us to build a world where people are free
from every form of oppression and violence.
We ask this through your Son Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever. Amen.
After Prayers for National Weekend of Prayer for LGBTQ Justice by The Religious Institute, Bridgeport CT, USA
A Muslim Prayer for LGBTQ People Who Face Persecution
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful,
the One who created us as a diverse people in diverse communities.
You teach us that diversity is a blessing
and invite us to come to know one another.
Help us to embody your teachings in our lives and our community.
Guide and strengthen us as we seek to answer your call
to resist all forms of injustice.
You teach us that there is no compulsion in religion.
We pray that the leaders of nations will not allow religious beliefs
to be used as a justification for discrimination.
We lament that too often the lives, rights, and freedom of LGBTQ people
Guide our community toward an enduring justice.
Grant us the courage to reach out
to those who have been harmed by religion.
Bless us as we seek to live in a world
where all people are free from injustice, violence, and discrimination.

Report by Colin Stewart – https://76crimes.com/2022/03/13/anti-gay-vs-gay-friendly-religion-go-head-to-head-in-ghana/
The Presbyterian Church of Ghana has come out in favor of harsh penalties for public displays of same-sex affection and for anyone who supports LGBTQ rights — harsher penalties than those in Ghana's controversial anti-LGBTQ bill currently awaiting action in Parliament. As soon as the church announced its position, it was promptly disputed by the LGBTQ-friendly Interfaith Diversity Network of West Africa (IDNOWA).
Dr. Rev. Benzies Isaac Adu-Okeree, chairman of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, testifies on March 10 before the Parliament's Committee on Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, which is studying the anti-LGBTQ bill. (Screen capture courtesy of My Joy Online)
Under Ghana's current laws, consensual same-sex intimacy is punishable by up to three years in prison. In addition to many other homophobic provisions, the anti-LGBTQ bill would increase that punishment to three to five years in prison.
The bill would also make it a crime to work to establish LGBTQ rights (in the words of the bill, "encouraging or promoting … any activity that undermines the proper human sexual rights and Ghanaian family values stipulated in the Bill." The punishment would be two to four months in prison.
Further, the bill would demand a six- to 12-month prison sentence for public displays of same-sex affection.
The Presbyterian Church argued for passage of the anti-LGBTQ bill, but said that some of its provisions are too lenient. In every case, the church says, the minimum sentence should be three years.
Davis Mac-Iyalla, chief executive of IDNOWA, testified against the bill at a previous hearing of the Committee on Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs.
In response to the Presbyterian Church's remarks on March 10, Mac-Iyalla said, "I still don't understand which God is leading the Ghana Presbyterian Church to believe that the far-reaching anti-LGBTIQ Bill is not bad enough and calls for hasher law."
Below are Mac-Iyalla's responses to the statements made to the committee by Dr. Rev. Benzies Isaac Adu-Okeree, chairman of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana.
Adu-Okeree told the committee that extended sentences are "needed to deter unacceptable behaviours that are injurious to the common good of society."
Mac-Iyalla said, "True religion calls us to love, mercy and compassion. Love does not dishonor others."
Adu-Okeree said that homosexuality is taboo both in Christianity and in traditional Ghanaian culture.
Mac-Iyalla said, "That is false. There are different beliefs about marriage, gender and sexual ethics among Christians, among Muslims and among traditional religious communities. This is true throughout Ghana, I believe straight or gay are made by God and none is taboo. Neither is homosexuality.
Adu-Okeree implied that homosexuality is like incest and bestiality.
Mac-Iyalla said, "Homosexuals are not created in labs, they are natural. It's only when you allow incestuous reproduction that you have actual moral issues."
Adu-Okeree said, "The practice and the promotion of [LGBTQ people] is in complete conflict of the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ and against the values and norms of the Ghanaian culture."
Mac-Iyalla said, "As a Bible-believing Christian, I disagree, Genesis Chapter 1 describes God's act of creation. I know from the Scriptures, and from scientific discovery, how endlessly diverse God's creation has been."
Adu-Okeree said that allowing the [LGBTQ] community's activities "to fester" … "puts the human race's natural existence in jeopardy."
Mac-Iyalla said, "The Book of Leviticus contains list of forbidden behaviors, some of which are called abominations. These are rules about what counts as kosher, similar to the Muslim laws of halal and haram, They should not be the basis for Ghanaian secular laws."
Reports about Adu-Okeree's testimony came from Freedom Radio GH and My Joy Online.

IDNOWA Presentation to Parliament, Thursday 17 February 2022
February 18, 2022 February 18, 2022 Interfaith Diversity Network Of West Africa
On Thursday 17th February, IDNOWA founder and Executive Director, Davis Mac-Iyalla, addressed the Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee of the Ghanaian Parliament about the proposed Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill 2021. You can watch the session via GBC youtube channel Davis starts his speech at 32 minutes.
Davis addressed the committee in a clear and appropriate manner. Pointing out the following:-
Violence against Ghanaian Citizens
This Bill codifies into law a spirit of mob violence and vigilantism that already stalks many parts of our land.
In recent years, sexual minorities in Ghana have been attacked by mobs, subjected to sexual assault, and subjected to intimidation and extortion. Human rights organizations have documented dozens of beatings, and arrests of sexual minority people in Ghana in the past seven years. Sexual minorities suffer entrapment and blackmail on social media. They are subjected to sexual assault, and subjected to intimidation and extortion.
For instance, "in August 2015 in Nima, Accra, a young man was allegedly brutally assaulted by members of a vigilante group known as Safety Empire, simply because they suspected he was gay. In May 2016 in a village outside Kumasi in the Ashanti region, the mother of a young woman organized a mob to beat up her daughter because she suspected the young woman was a lesbian. The girl and her friend were forced to flee from the village. … One woman said that when her family heard that she was associating with LGBT people, they chased her out of the house with a machete; since then, she has not been able to go back home to visit her two-year-old daughter. Another woman from Kumasi said that when her family suspected she was a lesbian, they took her to a prayer camp where she was severely beaten over a period of one month." A young man from Kumasi told human rights monitors "that in 2016 he was raped by a man he had met on social media, but did not report the rape to the police out of fear that he would be arrested for having 'gay sex'."[i]
Sexual minorities in Africa are no strangers to hatred and violence. For their human rights work with sexual minorities, David Kato was murdered in Uganda; Fanny Eddy was murdered in Sierra Leon. This Bill enshrines hatred into law. It will increase stigma towards those who are viewed as different or non-conforming. It will legitimize hatred from neighbours, strangers, and police officers, and even from people within one's own family. Meanwhile, the Ghanaian parents who I speak to are worried for their LGBTI children. They fear for the safety of their daughters and sons. Honourable Members, the law in Ghana already expresses the majority view of Ghanaians: that the sexual affection between males should be seen as a misdemeanour. This Bill only stigmatizes our fellow citizens and penalizes those who love and support them. It will instigate more violence. It will cause more social division when Ghanaians should be coming together to confront multiple crises: like COVID, debt, climate change, and regional instability. It will only inflame emotions, and deepen divisions.

Respect for Sexual Diversity
Respect for gender diversity and sexual diversity has been part of our African heritage since long before European culture was imposed on the peoples of Western Africa. For example, among the Igbo, women have taken on male leadership roles for many centuries; they can even become 'male daughters' and 'female husbands' if the need should arise. Among the Ashanti, men did not used to be stigmatized for dressing as women or for being intimate with each other. Among the Fante, one might desire women or men, according to the type of soul one was born with. Among the Nzima, same-gender attraction was unremarkable, and 'friendship-marriages' included dowries and festival banquets. To this day, the Nankani practice woman-to-woman marriage; and Dagaaba spiritual leaders respect same-sex attraction. Scholars and theologians from across the world, and from right here in Ghana, have documented these cultural norms.[i]
Respect for gender diversity and sexual diversity remains hotly debated among Christian and Muslim scholars. There are arguments over monogamy and polygamy. There are arguments over the correct interpretation of Scripture, tradition, and Hadith. Many Christians argue in favour of accepting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex people on the basis of Biblical texts; others quote the Bible to condemn them. Many Muslims argue in favour of accepting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex people on the basis of Islamic principles and of numerous fatwas; others claim that Islam condemns sexual minorities.
We propose that respect for gender diversity and sexual diversity is the real family value that we must defend. Many family members believe that their children are a gift. One mother said to me, "Should I hang my son because he looks feminine? My child is a gift from God, and I accept my child in whichever way he turns out."
African cultures value love and connection; we used to hold hands, we used to walk arm-in-arm. Today, friends and family think twice about expressing affection, for fear of being called lesbian or gay. This Bill seeks to impose a narrow vision of family and of gender-correctness that is neither African, nor Ghanaian, nor universally recognized by Christians and Muslims. It is a vision that came to us in the colonial era, and that conservative Christians have decided to embrace. Perhaps it is God's vision, and perhaps it is not.
Is this a question for Parliament to decide?
[i] These include Marc Epprecht, an award-winning Canadian scholar who writes about ecology, economic development, and sexual health in former British colonies on the African continent; Rose Mary Amenga-Etego, Associate Professor in Religious Studies at the University of Ghana; and Mercy Amba Oduyoye, a Ghanaian Methodist scholar who is the current director of the Institute of African Women in Religion and Culture at Trinity Theological Seminary in Ghana, and is considered to be one of the leading Protestant theologians in Africa.
The Dignity of LGBTI Persons
The LGBTI citizens of Ghana insist that "there should be nothing about us, decided without us." LGBTI persons deserve to be heard as this law is discussed and debated.
Some who advocate persecuting LGBTI people claim that sexual minorities are sexual predators, or that there is a link between LGBTI identity and paedophilia. This kind of lie must be called out as false. LGBTI people are not sexual predators. For example, the latest data from Ghana, in 2019, show that over 90% of cases of gang rape, incest, and sexual abuse perpetrated by male ministers of religion, were perpetrated on females by males. Sexual abuse in Ghana is a heterosexual problem.[1]
True religion calls us to love, mercy, and compassion. As St. Paul teaches us, 'Love is patient, [and] love is kind. … It does not dishonour others, … it is not easily angered, … it rejoices in the truth.' As the Holy Qur'an teaches us, Allah is first and foremost 'Compassionate' and 'Merciful.'
We believe that "every person is precious," and that "the measure of every" law must be "whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity" of each person within the society.
[2] We believe that everyone should love their neighbour – no exceptions for LGBTI.

Student found dead at Grand Valley State U. was freshman
ALLENDALE, Mich. (AP) — A young woman whose body was found outdoors at Grand Valley State University was a first-year student from the Detroit area, authorities said Tuesday.
The cause of Taylor DeRosa's death remains under investigation, though there's no immediate threat to the public, GVSU said.
"We have a moral obligation not to spread misinformation that fuels unhelpful suppositions and may hamper the investigation," President Philomena Mantella said.
DeRosa's body was found Saturday near campus sports fields. She attended Royal Oak High School, according to a GoFundMe page.
"We lost our beautiful, strong, courageous, smart and sweet Taylor far too soon," the page says. "Taylor lived a passionate, involved life as an advocate for gun control, Black Lives Matter, women's rights and a host of other organizations and movements that supported human equality, fairness and truth."

Travelling to Palestine to join a movement whose objective is to protest against a 57 year old military occupation using non-violent direct action sounds like a crazy thing to explain. But more and more people are travelling to Palestine each year to support the continuous civil resistance against the Israeli occupation. ISM is one of the groups working in Palestine to support the Palestinian non-violent resistance. Internationals in Palestine is a documentary that shows how ISM activists, together with Palestinians, lift road blocks, occupy military checkpoints, stop jeeps and bulldozers, chase soldiers who occupy houses in a city under curfew and intervene unarmed facing of the most powerful armies in the world. Their example is one of compromise with human rights and joint action between Palestinians, Israeli and international activists against the continuous violence of the Israeli army. Nothing better than watching it, live and without filters.

The government last year enlarged the scope of adjustments permitted in processing of I-T returns and also made processing of I-T returns a mandatory step, even before scrutiny assessment is initiated in case of a taxpayer.
The government has taken a number of steps to make the income tax (I-T) return filing and assessment proceedings more automated and system-driven, instead of personal interaction between the tax authorities and the taxpayer. The main idea of such steps is to make the process more efficient and taxpayer friendly and reduce corruption.
The government last year enlarged the scope of adjustments permitted in processing of I-T returns and also made processing of I-T returns a mandatory step, even before scrutiny assessment is initiated in case of a taxpayer. The revised law relating to processing of I-T returns has taken effect from April 1, 2017 and is applicable for all I-T filed on/ after April 1, 2017. Sub-section (1) of Section 143 of the Income Tax Act deals with processing of I-T returns. Earlier, scope of this provision was very limited and tax authorities were allowed to correct merely certain prima facie errors or arithmetic mistakes, without getting into issues which require detailed explanations or debatable issues. Vide Finance Act, 2016, the Government enlarged scope of corrections permitted under Sub-section (1) of Section 143. Apart from correction of arithmetic errors and a prima-facie incorrect claim, certain other adjustments will also be allowed in processing of an I-T tax return, such as disallowance of loss claimed if the return of the year is furnished beyond the due date of filing income tax return.
Where income reported by a taxpayer does not match with income reported in TDS certificate/ tax credit statement based on TDS returns filed by various payers, tax authorities were permitted to make an adjustment to the extent of such difference. However, this created hardship for taxpayers, who reported taxable income on net basis after claiming deduction for permitted expenses, but TDS certificates/ tax credit statement issued to them reflected gross amount of payments without taking into account deduction for permitted expenses. This resulted into unnecessary tax demands being raised in cases of such tax payers and increased unnecessary correspondence with tax department for correction of these tax demands raised on processing of I-T returns.
Vide order issued on October 11, 2017, the CBDT has sought to correct this anomaly and give relief to taxpayers liable to income tax on their net profits after deduction of permitted expenses and who are bound to have difference between gross revenues as per TDS certificates/ tax credit statements issued to them vis-à-vis net profit reported by them for income tax purposes. At the same time, for taxpayers who are liable to pay income tax on their gross revenues (more specifically foreign entities not having taxable presence in India but earning passive income such as royalty, FTS Interest, etc., from India), such correction will be applicable. Also, while processing their I-T returns, tax authorities are likely to match their gross revenues with TDS certificates/ tax credit statements and any differences may result in additional tax demand for such taxpayers. So, all entities (including foreign companies), which are liable to income tax on their gross revenues, will need to reconcile their taxable income with income reported by various payers in their TDS returns and in case of any mismatch, they will need to communicate with respective payers for correction in their TDS returns.

DJ Khaled has gone from working in a Champs Sports store and sneaking his mixtapes into shoe boxes, to owning a Champs Sports of his very own. And after speaking on the acquisition a few months ago, the Snapchat mogul and Jordan collaborator has finally opened his doors to show it off.
The 'store' resides next to Khaled's Miami studio and won't function like a typical retailer. Only members of Khaled's inner circle will be allowed to enter, and everything inside is free. In that regard it could be thought of more as a permanent show room, with a steady rotation of Champs stock – much like his infamous sneaker closet.
'My sneaker room inspired me' Khaled told Hypetrak of the endeavor. 'I would walk in like, "this is Champs Sports." We got a store: Champs and We The Best'.
Inside the space boasts 525-square-foot of sneaker heaven, with 'We The Best' and 'We Know Game' slogans on the walls and gold keys hanging from the roof. A testament to hard work, the store shows Khaled is well and truly enjoying his success – as opposed to suffering from it.


Have you ever refashioned something and think "Is this cute? Do I like this? Can I make this cuter?" I took a nice light purple T-shirt and made an asymmetrical cut. I absolutely fell in the love with a bright multi-color table runner found at a consignment store. At first, I thought about using the table runner in a future quillow, but when I accidentally laid it next to a couple of T-shirts, the table runner perfectly matched several different shirts! Awesome!
I cut a 4-inch wide strip from the table runner and sewed it lengthwise, creating a long tube. After turning the tube to the right side, I simply sewed the tube to the shirt's hem. Because the T-shirt is knit and won't fray, I didn't bother making a new hem and covered the raw edge with the tube. Before trying on the shirt, I slimmed down the sleeves. I love the new look of the shirt — it's simple but super cute. I love the pop of color on the hem, and the sleeves are perfectly slim.
But a few questions kind of nagged me. "Is this kind of plain?" "Does the shirt need something more?" If I added matching bias to the sleeves would that be too much? Way too cutesy? What about a matching pan collar? Too much? Should I do something the collar? Argh! So many questions, and no answers! I'll wear the shirt a couple of times and hope inspiration hits me. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please share in the comment section. Thanks!
Honestly, I like the shirt just the way it is. Simple is best. That's my opinion but I'm not a fashion expert either.
Hmmmmm. I kind of like that idea drawing a bit of attention to the back of the shirt. Thanks so much!
That table runner is bright and vibrant and adds POP to the shirt. I was thinking of that bright colour at the shoulders – cap sleeves instead of or over top the purple ones. You could make cap sleeves and tack them on until you see if they speak to you. Or a strip between the shoulders and sleeves. Then again (or as well?) maybe along the bottom edge of the sleeves. What about a V in the back; the point could go up or down.
Whatever you decide, let me know OK?
Thank you so much for all your great ideas! I will definitely let you know what will happen next.

Notice of Pre-Application Webinar (RFA-CA-15-021, RFA-CA-15-022, RFA-CA-15-023)
The National Cancer Institute will hold a public pre-application webinar on Friday, December 11 at 12:00 p.m. (EST) for the Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) RFA-CA-15-021 entitled "Proteome Characterization Centers for Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (U24), RFA-CA-15-022 entitled "Proteogenomic Translational Research Centers for Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (U01)", and RFA-CA-15-023 entitled "Proteogenomic Data Analysis Centers for Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (U24)".
New Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs): Reissuance of Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC)
The National Cancer Institute is soliciting applications for the reissuance of its Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) program. CPTAC will support broad efforts focused on several cancer types to explore further the complexities of cancer proteomes and their connections to abnormalities in cancer genomes. In addition, the potential of proteomic and proteo-genomic approaches will be explored in translational research focused on clinically-relevant problems, such as the ability to predict which treatments are likely to be effective against a specific patient's tumor.
Submissions will be accepted through February 5, 2016.
NCI Blog Post: CPTAC, the Complementary Sibling of TCGA (An Interview with Dr. Henry Rodriguez about NCI's Proteomics Program)
What is proteomics? Proteomics is a highly automated and rapid method for measuring all the proteins in a biological sample. Proteins are the molecules that actually do most of the work inside a cell. When researchers develop cancer drugs, those drugs typically target proteins, so scientists and clinicians really have to understand what the proteins are doing. Proteomics researchers are now able to measure up to 10,000 proteins per tumor sample.
CPTAC Establishes Formal Relationships with Two Academic Institutions in Taiwan
The National Cancer Institute's Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) has entered into memorandum of understandings (MOUs) with Chang Gung University and Academia Sinica, in Taipei, Taiwan.
New Funding Opportunity: Tissue Purchase Order Acquisitions
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is expanding its basic and translational research programs that rely heavily on sufficient availability of high quality, well annotated biospecimens suitable for use in genomic and proteomic studies. The NCI's overarching goal with such programs is to improve the ability to diagnose, treat, and prevent cancer.
New Funding Opportunity: Biospecimen Core Resource
The purpose of this notice is to notify the community that the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) Office of Cancer Clinical Proteomics Research (OCCPR) is seeking sources to establish a Biospecimen Core Resource (BCR), capable of receiving, qualifying, processing, and distributing annotated biospecimens.
Pharmacodynamic Assay Panel for Monitoring Phospho-Signaling Networks
The DNA damage response (DDR) is a highly regulated signal transduction network that orchestrates the temporal and spatial organization of protein complexes required to repair (or tolerate) DNA damage (e.g., nucleotide excision repair, base excision repair, homologous recombination, non-homologous end joining, post-replication repair).
CPTAC Accelerates Precision Proteomics Biomedical Research
The accurate quantitation of proteins or peptides using Mass Spectrometry (MS) is gaining prominence in the biomedical research community as an alternative method for analyte measurement. The Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) investigators have been at the forefront in the promotion of reproducible MS techniques, through the development and application of standardized proteomic methods for protein quantitation on biologically relevant samples.

Development of Best practices document for Peptide Standards
The Assay Development Working Group (ADWG) of the CPTAC Program is currently drafting a document to propose best practices for generation, quantification, storage, and handling of peptide standards used for mass spectrometry-based assays, as well as interpretation of quantitative proteomic data based on peptide standards. The ADWG is seeking input from commercial entities that provide peptide standards for mass spectrometry-based assays or that perform amino acid analysis.
CPTAC Proteomics Data on UCSC Genome Browser
The National Cancer Institute's Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium scientists are working together with the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) Genomics Institute to provide public access to cancer proteomics data via the UCSC Genome Browser. This effort extends accessibility of the CPTAC data to more researchers and provides an additional level of analysis to assist the cancer biology community.
Investigating RAS Signaling in Cancer
CPTAC expertise has been charged to develop RAS specific targeted proteomic assays to study the important pathways of human cancer.
The oncogene RAS is linked to 30 percent of human cancers, but the search for a targeted therapy for RAS has remained elusive. To advance our understanding of this oncogene and to develop improved targeted therapies against RAS pathway, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) has launched a RAS Initiative.
Computational Omics Pre-Awardees
The National Cancer Institute's Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) is pleased to announce the pre-awardees of the Computational Omics solicitation. Working with NVIDIA Foundation's Compute the Cure initiative and Leidos Biomedical Research Inc., the NCI, through this solicitation, seeks to leverage computational efforts to provide tools for the mining and interpretation of large-scale publicly available 'omics' datasets.
CPTAC Investigators Discuss Research Insights and Perspectives as part of ASBMB Journal Club - 12 Nov
On Wednesday, November 12, 2014 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM EST, Daniel Liebler, PhD (Vanderbilt University) and Karin Rodland, PhD (Pacific Northwestern National Laboratory) and Ruedi Aebersold, PhD (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) will share their research insight as part of the ASBMB Journal Club. Both Doctors Liebler and Rodland are Principal Investigators in the NCI's Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium.
Proteomic Research Funding Opportunity
To expand the understanding of how cells sense and respond to changes in their physical environment, the NCI is seeking to perform proteomic assays on the panel of cell lines grown on a variety of substrates. These assays will provide insight into changes in protein levels or phosphorylation changes that could reflect the activity of mechano-transduction pathways.
PODCAST: From Lost in Translation to Paradise Found: Enabling Protein Biomarker Method Transfer by Mass Spectrometry
Translation of novel biomarkers into clinical care for the evaluation of therapeutic safety and efficacy has been slow, partly attributable to the cost and complexity of immunoassay development. The potential for liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to streamline the translation of novel protein biomarkers is profound. Drs. Henry Rodriguez and Andrew Hoofnagle discuss what the future may be for clinical proteomics. This is an American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) podcast.

Each organization has launched a request for proposals (RFP) that will collectively fund up to $2 million to help to develop a new generation of data-intensive scientific tools to find new ways to treat cancer.


Caffè e cornetto (coffee and a croissant) is the typical morning order placed at the local bar for almost every Italian, in every Italian street, in every Italian city I have ever visited. I love this time of day; there is a busy, bustling, convivial atmosphere in a small room crowded with freshly scrubbed Italians smelling of aftershave and perfume, with freshly applied make-up, chatting, laughing and getting their first fix of sugar and caffeine for the day ahead. But life wasn't and isn't always like this.
For our countryside-dwelling friends, who have animals to feed before themselves, breakfast is taken later. It is more substantial and perhaps more in line with my savoury tooth. In times past, colazione in the countryside was an array of bread, meats and cheeses always served with a jug of homemade wine. In time, the wine was replaced by a cup of milky coffee.
So, in this chapter, we have covered all the bases and included breakfasts from urban bars to rural farmhouse kitchens. We also have friends who, like many Italians, have realised they (like Giancarlo) can no longer tolerate gluten, and those who have been advised to cut sugar or carbohydrate out of their diet. Yes, diabetes and obesity are problems that face many Italians, too. For a healthier breakfast we suggest Babbo's Eggs, a slice of the erbolata or a vegetable timbale.
Firstly, a little about coffee, an essential drug to every Italian I know. It was introduced to Italy through Venice from the Middle East. Initially it was thought to be an Islamic threat to the Christian world, a demon of a drink. However, after Pope Clement VIII drank a cup he proclaimed it Christian and the first coffee house or caffè was opened in 1683, named for the drink it sold. Fourteen billion cups of espresso are consumed each year in Italy. Each adult Italian will drink an average of four shots of coffee in a day. Coffee taken standing at the bar costs less than when it is drunk at a table as there is no clearing or service involved. Most Italians are in and out of a bar quickly, hence the lukewarm temperature of a cappuccino so you can drink and go. Ask for caldo if you want yours hot.
Coffee-making by experienced baristas is taken seriously. As every Italian seems to be a coffee expert it is not surprising that the art of making the perfect espresso, cappuccino or macchiato time after time is treated with respect. Apparently, over 57 per cent of baristas have 10 or more years of experience and the majority are therefore of an older age. Scalded milk, a cappuccino served too hot to drink in a hurry, or an espresso without the thin layer of pale brown foam (crema) is not appreciated. Baristas have to observe the weather and adjust the grinding of the coffee appropriately. They have to constantly clean and brush away any used coffee grounds and maintain the machines which are their livelihood. The milk should ideally be served at 70°C for a drink to be drunk straight away, and coffee cups should always be warm.
The most concentrated shot of coffee, taken before the water has finished dripping through the filter.
Singolo or doppio (single or double) shots of the dark elixir ground to order from a mixture of Robusta and Arabica beans.
A longer espresso, where water is allowed to drip through the filter for longer than normal.
The barrista's mix of a single shot of espresso in a small round cup with roughly four times the amount of milk steamed to 70°C, with foam filling the rest of the cup (the foam should be creamy and marshmallowy, with bubbles so small they're pretty much invisible).
The name comes from the 19th century kapuziner, a small Viennese coffee mixed with cream or milk until it resembled the colour of the Capuchin friars' habits.
Drink it before 11 am and never with or after a meal. Do dunk a biscuit into it for breakfast. Some Italians pour cereal into the cup – weird!
Do say the 'caffè' with the 'latte' or you will be served a glass of warm milk. Like cappuccino, caffè latte is only permissible in the mornings.
A single espresso 'marked' with a swirl of foam.
Iced coffee served in summer, shaken over ice and usually sweetened (unless you specify senza zucchero), boosted with a shot of liqueur such as Frangelico, if you wish.
An espresso 'corrected' by alcohol, usually grappa, sambuca (Giancarlo's favourite) or brandy.
Pronounced 'ponchay', this beverage, a sweet and powerful mixture of espresso, rum, sugar and lemon zest, is found in the Livorno area and is named after punch brought there by the British.
Decaffeinated coffee used to be frowned upon but is now more widely accepted.
A barley coffee with a gentle taste and no caffeine, which used to be drunk in times of poverty and by the elderly, and is now popular with many young people.
A pleasing mixture of hot chocolate and coffee. Confusingly pronounced in the same way as the Moka pots, the little aluminum coffee makers that bubble away on stoves in every household.
Between our friends, breakfast in the country ranges from yoghurt with fruit, toasted Tuscan saltless bread with a tomato and green Tuscan olive oil, or, for Giancarlo's father, it was bread with a ripe jammy fig or a wedge of fresh melon. Antonella Secciani prepares a spread of salami, finnochiona, cheese, fresh broad beans, raw artichokes in pinzimonio (an oil dressing), leftover pappa al pomodoro and a jug of homemade red wine for the owners and staff at the agriturismo (farm B&B). It is eaten between 9 and 10 am after sorting out the animals on the farm and taking the kids to school.


Please allow The Bus Blog to introduce a group called Cedar Rapids Bus Party and its founder, Samantha (@busparty).
Rest assured, these "bus parties" aren't what you might imagine them to be. They have quite a different mission than providing designated drivers to the masses. Rather, Samantha organizes monthly bus parties to raise awareness of public transportation in Cedar Rapids. Click here to check out her website.
Hers is a cool concept for introducing potential new riders to public transit: Meet downtown on a Saturday morning, hop a bus, and tour a portion of the city you might not visit otherwise, all the while learning how easy it is to ride the bus, in a fun, social setting.
Samantha took this project upon herself independently, and is not employed by nor officially affiliated with Cedar Rapids Transit, though it seems safe to assume she's someone the agency would like having in town. Definitely a transit advocate, she is.
So when Samantha visited Des Moines this weekend, your editor at The Bus Blog was happy to meet up with her, along with Alexander Grgurich (@alexanderdsm), the chair of the Transit Riders Advisory Committee. She kicked around ideas with us, and discussed the possibility of such "bus parties" happening here in Des Moines.
Low barrier to entry means that you don't have to deal with the confusion of riding the local public transit system for the first time. I have been riding the Cedar Rapids buses since 2006, and I still think the information hunt necessary to find where routes go, bus stops closest to your departure and destination sites, and stop times is ridiculous. If you haven't seen what I'm talking about, pop over to the transit site and just find the closest stop to your house. Most people that don't have to ride the bus stop trying at this point, but bus parties are meant to get past this hurdle. They are also meant to familiarize people with the process of getting on, paying, and making the bus stop. No big issues for sure, but these are concerns that first time riders have and excuses that prevent potential riders from starting.
Tour your town! You would pay $10-$20 to ride a bus tour in a foreign city, so why not pay $1.25 to see where you already live? I don't have a reason to ride all of the bus routes because my daily activities don't take me everywhere in town, but I still want to see what it's like in different neighborhoods and scope out new places to visit. Let someone else do the driving and take the opportunity to gaze out the window. You may find a park you didn't know about, a restaurant to try out next weekend, or a neighborhood with your dream house for sale.
Meet new people or bring friends you already have. It's a cheap way to get out and have an experience. While you can't drink on the buses (sorry, not that kind of party), you can stay downtown after the route ride and support one of the local establishments for lunch.

Merrick Has Faith in Kiwi Youth
Ernie Merrick continued to slash the average age of his Wellington Phoenix squad today when he confirmed that 17-year-old New Zealander Alex Rufer had been signed on a three-year professional contract.
On taking over the coaching reins Merrick inherited an experienced bunch of players and immediately set about injecting some youth while also acquiring the likes of Costa Rican international Kenny Cunningham.
"It is good management to ensure you have a blend of experienced players who can cope with the rigours of professional football," Merrick said.
"If you also have a group of talented young players alongside them they can learn so much from those older guys."
Merrick was enthusiastic when talking about his latest recruit and made it plain that he believes the youngster is capable of challenging for a first team spot this season.
A graduate of Christchurch-based Asia Pacific Football Academy attending 2010 and 2012, Merrick was enthusiactic about Rufer's future.
"The Phoenix is a work in progress and it is not going to happen overnight, but I wouldn-t have given him a contract if I didn-t think he could play now," Merrick said.
"Alex is just turned 17 but he is physically mature enough to cope with senior football as he-s proved by playing regionally and nationally with Wests and Manawatu.
"I see him as a very impressive young talent; the type of player we can mould into the Phoenix style of play.
"I already see him as a contender to play in the A-League, so it was important I bring him in now to work on his technical and tactical development, and of course he will develop physically under the programme.
"Alex-s signing adds to our stock of high quality young up and coming players."
Asked where he saw Rufer challenging for a place in the side, Merrick said he didn-t want to pigeon hole the lad but acknowledged he was very much an attacking player who could also be creative, and therefore could play as a striker or attacking midfielder.
"He has very good all-round technical skills, good ball control, a range of passes and an ability to dribble and score goals as he showed at Petone on Thursday night," Merrick said.
"The modern game demands versatility. Look at Ryan Giggs; there is hardly a position he hasn-t played.
"With our philosophy and style of play Alex fits the mould perfectly."
Rufer is still coming to terms with what has happened to him over the past couple of weeks.
Invited to trial with the Phoenix, probably first and foremost as a prospective Football School of Excellence candidate, Rufer could hardly believe what he was hearing when Merrick offered him the chance to become a professional footballer a week ago.
"I am absolutely stoked," Rufer said after helping a Phoenix side stacked with young trialists beat Petone 6-1 on Thursday night.
"I was over the moon when Ernie told me what was happening.
"Everything has happened so quickly it is hard to take it all in.
"I found it difficult to keep quiet while we were sorting the contract out. I wanted to tell everyone I was going to be a professional footballer."
Rufer has settled quickly into the Phoenix set up though he found it completely different to what he was accustomed to.
"The pro environment is so much more competitive and challenges you to be better," he said.
"It has been good working with Ernie. He is a good coach and I think I will learn a lot from him. I like the way he wants the team to play."
Rufer may have had his head in the clouds for the past seven days but he is quickly coming back to earth.
"Getting a contract is great but now the hard work begins to get better and stronger," he said.
"I-ve taken the first step and now the goal is to earn a place in the team."
