At this year's EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration, Honda will return with the groundbreaking very light jet HondaJet, which was unveiled to the world in a brief appearance at AirVenture 2005. This year Honda will display the jet for the duration of the show inside the new Honda Pavilion, now located just north of AeroShell Square.
Members of the HondaJet development team, including Michimasa Fujino, HondaJet project leader and vice president of Honda R&D Americas, Inc., will be on hand throughout the week to talk about the innovative aircraft and answer questions.
"With HondaJet on display for the full week, aviation enthusiasts will have an excellent opportunity to get a closer look at the design characteristics and technologies that this aircraft brings to the very light jet community," said Tom Poberezny, EAA president and AirVenture chairman.
Honda has been a part of EAA AirVenture for many years with motorcycle and power equipment displays, in addition to last year's world debut of HondaJet. This year, together with HondaJet, the Honda Pavilion will highlight Honda Racing and feature two IndyCars, as well as an expansive display of motorcycles, generators, personal watercraft and marine engines.
The 54th annual EAA fly-in convention will be held July 24-30 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh. EAA, The Leader in Recreational Aviation, is an international association with 170,000 members and 1,000 local Chapters.

For transplant recipients, there are lots of pills to swallow — some people take 12 pills a day, some 40, depending on what their bodies need.
One of the primary roles these drugs play is immunosuppression. Your immune system is what protects your body from infection by recognizing and fighting foreign substances such as viruses and bacteria that enter your body.
Unfortunately, your immune system will recognize your new lung as a foreign object. Therefore, your doctors will give you medicines to keep your immune system from fighting (rejecting) your new lungs. The process of preventing your body's natural immune response is called immunosuppression. Regrettably, these immunosuppressive drugs will reduce your body's ability to fight off bad foreign substances. Thus, it is very important that you take precautions to avoid infection whenever possible. Such precautions are discussed in the fact sheet "Living as a Transplant Recipient."
The main immunosuppressive drugs used in lung transplant patients are Cyclosporine, Imuran, Mycophenolate, Tacrolimus and Prednisone. See the table below for an explanation of these drugs. One thing that you will notice about the medications on this list is that some of them have many unpleasant side effects. On first looking at this list, the side effects of immunosuppressive drugs can seem more overwhelming than they usually are in real life. Not every patient experiences every side effect. Other drugs and things as simple as increased exercise can counter some of the side effects. Doctors are also learning to use multiple drugs to get a maximum anti-rejection effect with minimum side effects.
In addition to the medications listed below, you may take a nystatin suspension to prevent fungus infections, Septra DS to prevent bacterial infections, Lasix to treat swelling and high blood pressure, Zantac to decrease the amount of acid in your stomach and metered dose inhalers such as albuterol and atrovent to help keep your airway open and make breathing easier.

BLM Enters into Agreement with Sierra Club to Advance Opportunities for Veterans and Military Families on Public Lands
Recognizing the enormous value in partnerships that encourage veterans and military families to enjoy public lands, the Bureau of Land Management and the Sierra Club today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that will enable both organizations to work more effectively together on programs, training, and recreational activities for veterans and military families.
"For those brave men and women returning from military service to our country, BLM-managed public lands provide not only opportunities for recreating in the great outdoors , but also venues for enhancing personal well-being while connecting more closely with some of the land they fought to protect," said BLM Acting Deputy Director Steve Ellis.
"The BLM is committed to helping those who have served in the Armed Forces enjoy the healing nature of their public lands," said Carl Rountree, BLM Assistant Director for National Landscape Conservation System. "This MOU reflects that commitment."
"The Sierra Club has a rich history protecting our country's wild places and the recreational opportunities they provide," said Dan Chu, Senior Campaign Director, Our Wild America. "Partnering with the Bureau of Land Management continues the tradition of connecting people with the outdoors by creating new opportunities for veterans to spend time in our country's public lands."
"It's essential that we give back to our nation's heroes who protected our country in uniform," said Joshua Brandon, Sierra Club Military and Community Outdoor Recreation Organizer. "The Sierra Club is well versed in the healing powers of time spent in the outdoors, and our growing partnership with the Bureau of Land Management ensures greater access for veterans and their families to explore and enjoy the public lands they risked their lives protecting."
Under the MOU, the BLM and the Sierra Club Mission Outdoors program will work together to provide veterans, active-duty military, and their families with opportunities to learn about and participate in conservation and recreation activities on public lands. The BLM and Sierra Club will identify partnership opportunities and jointly pursue projects that will enhance their their ability to provide service members and their families with information about and programs on BLM land, as well as improve communication and understanding between the military community and public agencies.
The MOU builds on a several successful partnership programs between the BLM and Sierra Club Mission Outdoors program. In October 2012, the Sierra Club hosted a military family outing at the Organ Mountains on BLM-managed land in New Mexico, during which service members and their families engaged in hikes, children's events, and educational workshops. In November 2012, the BLM and Sierra Club launched the first annual Veterans Day Essay and Photo Contest. This contest, centered on the theme "What My Public Lands Mean to Me," encouraged veterans, active-duty military, and their families to submit photos, essays and video about their experiences and memories of time spent outside on America's public lands.
Through direct programming, public education and advocacy, Sierra Club's Mission Outdoors program combats the growing divide between America and the outdoors by increasing opportunities for all to improve their overall well-being by exploring and enjoying the natural world. Over the last few years the Sierra Club has worked with over 50,000 service members, veterans, and family members from all over the country to help ease the stresses of service and coming home by helping them get outside.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2012, activities on public lands generated $4.6 billion in revenue, much of which was shared with the States where the activities occurred. In addition, public lands contributed more than $112 billion to the U.S. economy and helped support more than 500,000 jobs.
The Sierra Club is America's largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization, with more than 2.1 million members and supporters nationwide. In addition to creating opportunities for people of all ages, levels and locations to have meaningful outdoor experiences, the Sierra Club works to safeguard the health of our communities, protect wildlife, and preserve our remaining wild places through grassroots activism, public education, lobbying, and litigation.

A spinnerbait is a spinnerbait; that is until River2Sea's Hula Shad came along. At the heart of the Crystal Spin is a revolutionary head design that encases the bismuth and tin alloyl head with a polycarbonate that allows for some truly unique finishes never before seen within the industry. The new head design has not one but two hand tied skirts. The Hula Shads are all constructed with the highest quality components; premium hook, ball bearing swivel and high quality blades with a swooped wire frame for ultimate vibration.
Crystal Spin's design and components create a spinnerbait that tracks true throughout the speed spectrum; it is equally effective at high speed burns in shallow water, and slow rolling for deeper presentations.

Customer Reviews
From: Dillon: Redding, CA
Comments: These spinnerbaits are the most brittle I have ever seen. I am not sure what material they make their wire out of but it breaks in no time if you are actually catching fish on them. Broke 2 in one day right where the bend is at the first blade on the wire. Will never buy again.
From: John: NC
Comments: Tried one out at the Lake Okeechobee and tore them up. However, after every fish I had to re-tune the thing since the wire got all bent out. Then the thing broke. Pretty expensive spinner bait to break so easy. The skirt was also pretty much gone by the 5th fish. Not worth the price they are asking.
Comments: Broke both of mine within the same week. One on a 3 pounder the other as i was fixing the wire just after catching a fish. They have a big profile which is nice on windy days but they will break on you in no time. Not worth the money.
From: Kevin: NC
Comments: Be very careful with this lure. I have had about 5 or 6 of them break on me. A few with fish and a few on the cast. After talking with River2Sea, the customer service was subpar and they did not seem to care that their crystal spins were breaking. No replacements and no sympathy. Hopefully they fix this issue, but at least I am not the only one.
From: Bill: MA
Comments: Good bait, realistic and unique body shape. Runs true and gets bit. To the guy who commented about RS2's new eye pattern...do you think a bass really cares about the eyes when its hits something like a spinnerbait with all its flash and bulk? Nope lol
Comments: I recently lost my crystal spinnerbait fishing in heavy cover and forgot to retie my line. Long story short, I got two new one and it have a "2" in the eye. It look retarded and don't know if it will produce the same. On the picture it doesn't have a number 2.
From: Pao: Fresno, CA
Comments: This is one of the best spinnerbaits I have ever used. They were definitely one of my go to lures last year. I had a similar problem with two breaking in one day though. I contacted River2sea and they said that a few had slipped through quality control and that the problem was fixed. They promptly sent me 4 new baits free of charge and they have worked beautifully. Chartreuse Shad in 3/8oz has been my favorite.
From: Greg: Clarkston, UT
Comments: Need to report back AGAIN, with an APOLOGY! Used these today for standard windy day bass fishing, water temp 68F, and got a two pounder, which BROKE OFF AT THE BOAT BECAUSE THE CRYSTAL SPIN BROKE AT THE JIG HEAD CONNECTION, still in the bass. Thought, wow, that sucks, must be a defect. Then less than 20 minutes later another broke while I was just bending the pin back a bit, right behind the wire bend. Two spinnerbaits breaking on the SAME TRIP?? Something is WRONG with these. Sadly the bass were going crazy for them, wish they could solve the wire issue. Going to try to contact river 2 sea.. until then I won't buy any more.
From: Craig: Sunrise, FL
Comments: OK, reporting back after at least a four pound snakehead mauled this thing today. Basically it hit, fought hard on the way back, then of course started spinning uncontrollably about a foot from shore. Let it calm down, then again the snakehead twist. Anyone out there know what I mean??? I call this the spinnerbait test, because if it still works after this it's a durable lure. I have had some lures absolutely destroyed after one large snakehead to the point of being thrown out. They can be expensive fish... So- bent the wire but not too bad twisting, a few scratches to the plastic coating. took a few minutes to re-shape everything and it basically runs true again. The skirt didn't rip either. Grade: A- very good lure.
Comments: Got two colors of this today and decided to throw the bluegill to see how it fared. Pretty breezy day, blue skies and very warm water and 2:00 in the afternoon. Got two-1 pound size bass in under an hour, not great, but it was 2:00.
Pros- great finish, casts very well, little wind resistance. Seems built very well, and made to last.
Cons- I like to fish deeper in summer mid day, and this thing doesn't want to stay down.
Well see how this hold up when a five pound snakehead hits it, then I'll report back!
From: Craig: Sunrise, FL
Comments: I've been pretty pleased with these baits, the body holds up nicely and the blades don't tarnish. the swivels and mechanics on this spinnerbait are up to par and I've been pretty pleased with the results, they've held up well after lots of fish.
From: David: California, USA

|In response to Re: Clawfoot tub drain configuration
If the beam is parallel to the tub then it should also be under the drain opening in the tub. There are several drain configurations and the one you want would be a "3 way elbow" at the bottom of the overflow with the outlet coming out the side with a bent tube dropping into your trap. They are called "side outlet" waste and overflows and you may have to do an Internet search for it. I think I found my last one at a company in Kansas, Missouri, or somewhere in that region.
: Well, the drain line and P-trap are in, running right up to the beam, because I can't see how I could improve the situation under the floor. But...
: Is there any reason that I should not put the hole in the floor midway between the overflow and the tub drain, or even directly under the tub drain? If so, should the T be of a special design? (I'm thinking of the assemblies for 2-drain sinks where the T has a baffle inside.)
: As far as I can tell, no one makes a tail piece for the tub drain that would allow the "under drain" option. But I'm pretty sure I could construct the "midway" option in the space between the tub bottom and the floor.

Learning Through the Eyes of Others
When I first lived in the upper Great Plains, I did so as a freshman at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota. I still remember the day when my parents' car pulled away and I was standing by my dorm wondering why I had decided to move almost 800 miles from my home in Montana. While I would miss my parents and friends, I began to miss the mountains almost immediately.
I felt like Beret, the female protagonist in Giants in the Earth who left her home in Norway and moved to Dakota Territory. The vast grasslands and harsh climate nearly drove her mad. When I would look outward, I would think, "There's nothing to see." Flat land seemed to stretch everywhere and yet nowhere. Corn fields and soy beans.
Almost 15 years later, I moved back to the Dakotas, this time as a professor in a small Lutheran college in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Once again, I found myself reading Giants in the Earth, wondering if I would go insane from looking at "nothing." The prairie winds blew hot air all summer long, and in the winter I found it difficult to ski or be outdoors because as soon as it snowed the snow was blown into crusted ice piles.
Then, bit by bit, we became acquainted with new friends whose love for the prairie challenged my notion that it was "full of nothing." My husband and I began to walk the prairie landscapes with our friends Janet and Ross, who is an environmental biologist and knows the names of every plant, bird, and tree.
I learned about the mating dances of prairie chickens, about the oak stands in Beaver Creek Nature area, and how to listen to the multiple calls of cardinals. Naming the multiplicity and buzzing life forms on the Dakota prairies drew me into what I now see as a change of view. "Nothing" has become "something." And that something has slowly become a perspective on the Dakotas that has me calling this landscape "home." It's a different home than the mountains. But it's home.
My eyesight has changed — thanks also to my friend Sheila. She's an artist whose recent works feature the upper Great Plains. I have several of her paintings in our house, including two large prairie landscapes in my home office. When I write or prepare for teaching, I need to have "space" — openness where ideas can move around, where I can take a deep breath.
Since the actual office space isn't very large, I find that her paintings create that space for me. The painting right above my computer is my favorite of hers. Large boulders are in the foreground of a prairie horizon. Two tree trunks frame the view through which I look into a receding horizon. I have always thought it was late summer or early fall when the ground is browned by the sun and the sky is dotted by a few white clouds. I always want to enter that place, sit on one of the rocks, and look into the spacious expanse of prairie. The view begs one to take ample time, time that is as plentiful and full as the panorama. When my life gets full of too much — iPods, voicemails, emails — then I come to this view to redesign my life, to change my surroundings.
Sheila's views have become my spiritual lens for a geographical restructuring and transformation of my life. I hope that while on sabbatical I can find more views, and maybe even offer to others what Sheila has offered me.
Who we are is where we are. Or at least where we have been and where we are going. I think about time: When? How long? I have been thinking a lot about the boundaries, borders, situations, dimensions, and locations of our lives. When and where are interrelated. When and where is a complicated plot between local and global, then and now, over and under. What are the maps that we take through these journeys? What does it mean to map the human genome? What are the cartographies of our culture? What are the maps that bypass the "underground" places? Recently, I drove to such a place.
It's true that you "have to see it to believe it." Or in other words, to step into this place is to step into the stories it tells. A few months ago, I drove to the golf course in Canton, South Dakota. Between the third and fourth hole on the Hiawatha Golf Club is a small cemetery with the bodies of those who had been kept as inmates in the Hiawatha Asylum for Insane Indians.
I've read a lot about this place, but still had not been to the site. It's not easy to find. Surrounded by a split rail fence is a large grave marker with the names of dozens of American Indians who died at the asylum. There are 121 bodies buried in the graveyard — in the middle of a golf course — on the outskirts of Canton, which is the seat of Lincoln county. In 1899, a local U.S. senator, Richard Pettigrew, brought the federal funds to start this institution. A large historic district in Sioux Falls is named after Pettigrew. When the newly developing field of eugenics was coming of age, many people in the United States believed that one way to rid the country of "troublesome Indians" was to claim that they were "insane" and could be sent to the asylum. Hundreds of American Indians from around the U.S. were sent to the Canton asylum.
The Hiawatha Asylum for Insane Indians was intended to be a hospital dedicated solely to the "mental illness problem" among Native Americans. What it became was a kind of warehouse for storing "problem" Indians. When the asylum was visited in its later years, the following was noted in a report from Minnesota Public Radio: "The Indian affairs commissioner under President Roosevelt called reports of the asylum reminiscent of the terrible indictments Charles Dickens leveled against English poorhouses and schools."
More information about the asylum's operations came from the writings of Dr. Samuel Silk, the clinical director of the country's premier psychiatric hospital, St. Elizabeth's in Washington, D.C. He wrote that children were abused; adults were secluded in isolation for years. The asylum did not even meet minimum standards of care.
On the fairway between the third and fourth holes on this golf course, I wondered how my ancestors (Norwegian Lutherans) could live nearby and not know what happened to all these people at the asylum. "Good Norwegian Lutherans." A "good South Dakota senator." A history that is painful, ominous, and only 30 miles or so from where I live.
Where do I walk today, in these times that I don't want to know about? That I turn a blind eye to? Shame won't do me any good. But a guilt that is confessed, that motivates me to tell this story might help me to do something about all of those whose lives are hidden, not made visible, covered by those in power who don't want to know. Maybe this wound on the South Dakota landscape can somehow become an anchorage — a reminder of where we are, who has lived here, and most importantly, the suffering of those who went before and whose stories need to be told. I'm learning a lot about the stories that this prairie landscape is telling me.

Gorgeous and Super Comfy !!!!
"I have so many black shoes but still never happy with them. My search has really come to an end with the purchase of these shoes. I am glad because this pump can be worn at office, party or club ! I have worn it for over 12 hours together and they are still comfortable. The material is very soft with a very elegant luster, heel is great, peep toe to show off your pedi and the sole is cushioned well to keep you running all day through. I wear size 9 and fits me perfectly as if it's made for me.Same shoe was in blue color as well, however it doesn't look as great because the material has no luster. NO COMPLAINTS so far . Did I mention I wear them almost everyday just to get compliments ;) ??!!?"

Pros: Excellent performance at the price
Cons: Does not outperform very high end DACs
REVIEW: Schiit Audio "Bifrost" DAC
By now, Schiit probably needs no head-fi introduction, and so I will not be providing one. I will also not be making any jokes about the name. Sorry. That was so last review
I had asked to be sent a review loaner of the Bifrost when the announcement was made about its existence. Schiit was nice enough to oblige – unfortunately it arrived at a very bad time for me at work, and I was able to spend a good amount of time casually listening to it, but not much time really evaluating it, or writing about it. I have finally been able to do some of that, although this review isn't going to be quite as complete as I had hoped.
For this review I fed the Bifrost either the toslink output of a Pure i20 digital iPod dock, or USB from my Sony Vaio. The audio out from the Bifrost was in turn sent to either a Meier Corda Classic, a vintage Marantz 2285 receiver, or the Leben CS-300. Headphones used were the Beyer T1, Audeze LCD-3, Hifiman HE-6, and Audio Technica W3000ANV. The Marantz also drove B&W N805 speakers, and I spent quite a bit of time listening to the Bifrost via speakers. I compared the Bifrost briefly to the MHDT Havana, the Audio by Van Alstine Vision Hybrid DAC, the Red Wine Audio Isabellina Pro DAC, and the HRT iStreamer.
There is not much to discuss in terms of the operation. I'm glad the power supply is onboard; I hate wall warts. Coax, toslink, and USB inputs; single pair analog outputs. In the traditional Schiit chassis:
The Sound
There have been some "robust" discussions lately about headphone FR, and what measurements of them mean in terms of what we hear. In stark contrast to that is something like a DAC: Any well designed, modern DAC will measure completely flat in the audible domain, and as such, any differences we hear in sonics really cannot be directly attributed to measured frequency response, as the measured frequency response of a modern DAC is, in almost every case, going to look identical to any other DAC.
And yet, if you read this or any other audio site or magazine, people clearly hear differences in DACs. I certainly do. But I cannot point to a frequency response chart and say "this is why it sounds this way". Outside of the frequency response, there are things like jitter rejection that can be measured and have an impact on things like transparency.
All that said, I do in fact find the Schiit to be very neutral in the frequency domain. The Bifrost comes across as essentially uncolored. Nothing jumps out as being out of balance, even over extended listening. I would say this is what we should expect from a modern, solid state DAC, and the Bifrost delivers it. I consider this high praise for a DAC. Certainly bass drum and guitar from Dream Theater's "On the Backs of Angels" were plenty full and deep, and very subtle percussion on Steely Dan's "Aja" was easily discerned, so there is good presence at the frequency extremes.
The Bifrost does a very good job of detail retrieval – better than I expected, in terms of what I have heard from other DACs in this price range. It is also very good in terms of being transparent and grain free, although it doesn't set any benchmarks here versus higher end DACs (about which, more later). On its own, it comes across as being pretty free from grain, and being very transparent. I think it performs well for its price class in this regard, and even beat another more expensive but popular DAC in this regard.
The soundstage thrown by the Bifrost was also good, especially in terms of image stability and specificity. It was not as holographic as my higher end references, nor was it either as deep, or wide. But again, taken on its own, it performed well. The very holographic soundstage on the Porcupine Tree song "Stars Die" was very satisfying, and I didn't feel like I was missing anything via the Bifrost. It was very well fleshed out, and Steven Wilson's voice was well defined and centered, versus the much more spread out harmony vocals.
I did level-matched comparisons with three DACs, as mentioned above.
Let's get two things out of the way with ease. First, the Bifrost absolutely stomps the iStreamer. The iStreamer seems grainy, veiled, threadbare, and thin sounding by comparison. It's not even close. It's funny, because taken on its own, I always thought the iStreamer was decent enough, but on the comparison to the Bifrost, if does not fare well. Granted, it's 40% of the cost of the Bifrost.
On the other hand, the Bifrost was noticeably outclassed by both the AVA Vision Hybrid and the RedWineAudio Isabellina Pro DACs. In this case, the Bifrost is less than 25% of the cost of the either of these DACs, and it shows. I found the AVA to be better to some degree in every single respect. More transparent, less apparent edge and grain, better microdetail, better microdynamics, more natural ease in terms of musical flow, better bass slam and extension, and a smoother and more extended treble. Midrange on the AVA is drop-dead, breathtakingly beautiful without being at all colored – on the Bifrost, the mids sound thin by comparison. The Isabellina was pretty much the same story. The Bifrost was a little closer to the performance of the RWA DAC than it was in the case of the AVA, but still, it was clearly not in the same performance league.
But again – that is only by direct comparison. I don't think of the Bifrost as grainy or thin. It is just more that way than the higher-end (and at $2K somewhat expensive) AVA and RWA DACs. It really isn't a fair comparison, either, especially knowing Schiit has a much more advanced (and expensive) DAC in the works.
The comparison to the MHDT Havana was more interesting. The Havana is NOT neutral sounding. It's a NOS DAC with a tube output. I like the sound, but the sound is, well, kind of "vintage" – warm and woolly. And boy was this apparent when compared to the Bifrost. The Schiit DAC sounds MUCH more neutral than the Havana. And yes, compared to the very warm Havana, the Bifrost sounds thin. But it also sounded more open and transparent, has better treble detail, and had more apparent midrange resolution. Frankly, the Bifrost turned me off so much to the Havana that I sold it. It's just too colored, in the end. Pretty sounding, but untruthful. The Bifrost is more truthful, even if sometimes there is less beauty in the truth.
So where does that leave the Bifrost? At its price, it is a very nice piece of kit, and a good value. I don't think it is setting any performance benchmarks in absolute terms, but it provides very solid performance at its price point, and I think Schiit has packed a lot of performance in this DAC at $450. I regret that I no longer had my similarly priced Music Hall to compare it to, but I was not that impressed with the Music Hall (which is why I sold it). The Bifrost isn't going to slay a pile of $2K+ DACs anytime soon, but I don't think that was Schiit's goal for it. For a DAC in the $500 price range, it gets the job done very nicely. While I may have become "spoiled" by my reference DACs, Schiit should be commended for providing a high performance product at this price. In the current world we live in, a DAC has become the focal point of the majority of music playback systems. It's THE source for most people. Given that, having a good quality DAC like the Bifrost available at this price point is a very good thing.

How many people does a disease affect to be considered orphan?
According to the FDA, an orphan disease is one that affects fewer than 200,000 Americans.
25 million
Question 3 of 30
More than 25 million Americans are affected by how many rare diseases?
There are 8,000 known orphan diseases affecting people in the U.S.
Question 4 of 30
True or false: Out of about 7,000 diseases, only about 400 have an effective drug therapy.
Of the 7,000 or so rare diseases affecting Americans, drug therapy is available for about 400.
Question 5 of 30
True or false: The plot of two "Quincy, M.E." episodes focused on rare disease awareness.
Both "Seldom Silent, Never Heard" (1981) and "Give Me Your Weak" (1982) focused on rare and orphan diseases.
Question 6 of 30
True or false: Actor Jack Klugman testified before Congress in an effort to draw attention to orphan diseases and treatments.
Yes, it's true. Reagan went on to sign the Orphan Drug Act of 1983.
Question 7 of 30
What does the Orphan Drug Act of 1983 provide to pharmaceutical companies?
It provides incentives for the pharmaceutical industry to invest in developing treatments for rare diseases.
Question 8 of 30
Which of the following is NOT considered an orphan disease?
Crohn's disease
cystic fibrosis
Parkinson's disease
All of these are rare diseases.
All of these are considered orphan diseases.
None of these are rare diseases.

Most of these rare diseases are inherited. The remaining are associated with environmental conditions.
Question 13 of 30
How is an orphan disease defined under the Orphan Drug Act?
rare or neglected diseases
only inheritable diseases
diseases for which the cost of developing treatment isn't expected be recovered in sales
They're diseases for which "there is no reasonable expectation that the cost of developing and making available in the U.S. a drug for such disease or condition will [be] recovered from sales in the United States of such drug."
Question 14 of 30

Day-after, afternoon headshots - May 8th
Patrick Johnston
May 08 2013 05:06PM
It wasn't supposed to end quite like this.
(photo Christian Petersen/Getty)
Post-mortem day. Yes, that one.
Yes last night was not a dream. The Canucks are done. Everyone's looking to explain why.
Here at home, we've got Drance writing about the irony of how the Canucks lost, Filipovic with last night's gamer and a quick hit on the Sedins and Alex Edler (hint: world championships).
Lots more after the jump. Believe me, you'll get your fill.
He's amazing fellow, that Wyatt Arndt. Let's start with his positive spin on things. Can you believe there are FIVE silver linings to the Canucks' loss? Atta boy. [Legion of Blog]
Fire everybody? Actually, no, Greg Wyshynski doesn't think it's everybody that needs to move out, but he does look at the various solutions that have already been bandied about...have a look. "What a disappointment. What a conundrum. What a mess," he concludes. [Puck Daddy]
A curmudgeounly comment at Pass it to Bulis becomes an entire post, ponders blowing the team up and provides a fantastic twist at the end. [Pass it to Bulis]
Oh look - a window. Is it open or closed? Zanstorm at Nucks Misconduct has a look. [Nucks Misconduct]
About that penalty - Cam Cole didn't like it, and neither did Henrik Sedin. Sedin was colourfully concise; Cole when deeper. Have a read. [The Vancouver Sun]
Is it depth? Is it coaching? Is it prospects? All questions asked by the Canadian Press. [Via The Hockey News]
Eric Duhatschek wonders about where the Canucks have ended up. It was an intriguing start that Mike Gillis and Laurence Gilman made, but where are they now? It's hard to say, but it's not a bad attempt. [The Globe and Mail]
This team was never good enough, writes Tony Gallagher. The era is over, he says. At least AV made a good goaltending choice in the end, he says. [The Province]
It may have been a poor call - that's what The Score's Justin Bourne figures - but the rebound given up by Cory Schneider was pretty ugly too. Sigh. [The Score]
Gifs, gifs, gifs. SB Nation has assembled a great stack of 'em; not all from the Canucks, but if you really want to re-visit the ugly moments, go nuts. [SB Nation]
Ed Willes saw the Canucks get old before his very eyes. Is he right? Age is always a worry. He also mentions O.J. Simpson [The Province]
Depth and health were the problems, says No Pucks Given's Chase Ruttig. Certainly a problem that was identified on this blog, though did anyone think it would be this bad? [No Pucks Given]
Apparently the Canucks lost because Joe Thornton actually shot. [San Jose Mercury News]
More from San Jose: the Sharks best players were their best players. [San Jose Mercury News]
Slight side-note - many talked about faceoffs this season, about how the Canucks were far from good at draws. It's been written about here before, but Cam Charron has penned another piece looking at the question of 'how importanta are they? over at Leafs Nation. [Leafs Nation]
May 08 2013, 06:11PM
You didnt have to be a hockey person to know that the loss and sweep was inevitable. Even an accountant or gambler could have predicted the Canucks demise.
Seems like this franchise is built on hope and illusions, nothing more. Gillis and Av should get the sack, followed by half the players. Acountability should be the word going forward. This is supposed to be a hockey team, not a country club. Captains are supposed to lead, not go invisible and make excuses after the game. the guy playing next to the captain should perform, not go invisible as well. The defense is supposed to defend against goals, not play for the other teams. Anyone and all who make mistakes should be benched , not given more icetime. Coaches should coach and teach, not juggle lines in order to kill chemistry. Gm's should make deal to better the team, not the opposite. Fans should demand accountability and support winners, not losers.
What the Canucks are doing wrong? EVERYTHING.
May 09 2013, 12:00AM
The biggest problem is that the Canucks core have proven they CAN'T win in the post season...where it counts. How many more years does one have to have in order to confirm this. The Sedins are better offf going to join the X-Men, as I'm sure they can use his power of invisibility to fight Magneto.
it's like when a kid takes a math test. He doesnt know the answer in the fisrt five minutes. Then he decides to wait another five minutes and maybe the answer will come to him. It doesn't, he waits for 15 minutes. Then 20, then 30, then 40, on and on. At what point do we and the kid realize that the kid doesnt have the answer and call it a day? This team has not won anything in 44 years, and that means the cup. They can NOT keep going on that path. If they keep this up, it'll be 100 years and nothing. So why even bother, why not just pack it up and cal it a day, cause that would be less cruel. At least they moved the Grizzlies. And I dont hear anyone saying how they hoped the Grizzlies would come back.
When the team loses to a team in 4 that is probably less chokey than they are, you know theyre done. You could have put the farm team there and the results would have been the same if not better.the only thing that franchise really cares about is the bottom line...but seeing as how much they spent this year and still choked, we can also conclude that they could care less about winning. And the paying fans of course come last. If I were them I wouldnt care either, if folks are dumb enough to come watch such a over rated useless team, than I'll take their money cause they deserve what they get. |How can the fans who enable such a team deserve anything other then what they get?
Truth is, there is not ONE person in that franchise from Gillis to AV to scouting to the players that are untouchable. I seriously hope AV goes to another team just to bring them the same misery and excuses. Hope he also take the Sedins and luu and his fave pets with him as well.
Canuck fans are crazy. The had their chance to win the cup for 3 yrs, window shut now they are a playoff team. Why don't fans understand this is a cycle. The core of the Canucks are older so it will take longer before they are a contender for the cup. Unlike Chicago whose core is young.
Window has shut get over it.
May 08 2013, 07:30PM
So true. any team on any sport should have a succession plan. Youth will always replace age. In other pro sports in other parts of the world, players are considered old once they reach the age of 25. the Canucks have never been one to waste time with young talent. It's the Cam Neely syndrome. In fact they are lousy at drafting talent as well.
They don't bother wasting time developing young players from BC who want to play here, electing for over rated cast-aways from other teams. When their core has done nothing and gotten old, they'll keep them longer or trade them away for a bag of peanuts, then bring in more of the same league rejects and heartless players form no hit European leagues.
The problem is not the the understanding that it's a cycle, it's the fact that for four decades, the team has been doing nothing but selling a pipe dream, by over rating the average players they have and clever marketing to lure in the delusional fan. You need a world class marketing team to sell that crap team year after year...hats off to them. The fact is that this franchise has no more room or leeway for excuses. 4 decades of futility buys them no more time and excuses. There is no more get out of jail cards, but I suspect the fans would love another 4 decades of the same.
They say that in Vancouver, there are hockey fans and then there are Canuck fans. The hockey fans don't watch Canucks games while the Canucks fans watch Canucks games. Their fans have been nothing more then ENABLERS for a lousy team to survive. Who needs to kick a bad habit when you have other who will support that bad habit? hockey and the cup in Canada is dead, no Canadian owner or the league wants to win the cup here...there's no need, when the fans keep coming to give them profit. Pretty soon even fans will walk away and take up something that has more credibility and transparency...like curling.
Mike Gillis could learn a thing or two from Doug Wilson.
DW swapped out Clowe & Murray for Torres, Hannan and draft picks. This was an excellent way to maintain their chances at winning playoff games in 2013 while adding futures to the organization.
Cancel out Thornton, Marleau & Pavelski with the Sedins and Kesler. The Sharks can add Couture & Burns to their forward core and, in theory, Havlat.
Who do the Canucks have to add to their core forwards? Burrows and some secondary guys.
And the Sharks don't necessarily have an elite level forward group. But that's the price for continual success sometimes.
The Canucks don't need to rebuild (yet). But they definitely need to retool the forward group.
Unfortunately the only NHL regular drafted by the Gillis regime is playing in Buffalo.
It's getting harder and harder to trust Gillis when it looks like all he has done is extended the majority of core players he inherited.
Which isn't really a skill since most players are willing to extend with big market cap teams irrespective of the GM.

Pest Alerts
The most effective method of protection from an invasive pest is early detection and rapid response, a technique that requires public awareness and involvement.
This Pest Alerts page allows Clemson University - Department of Plant Industry to provide accurate and timely information regarding emerging and recurring invasive pests that threaten South Carolina's agricultural and natural resources. An invasive pest can be an insect, plant or pathogen that harms our crops or native plants. While many of these pests are regulated by state or federal agencies, some of them are not. As the state regulatory agency, Clemson University is active in the prevention, detection and eradication of invasive pests in South Carolina and recognizes the importance of educating the public on both regulated and non-regulated pests of concern. However, this is not a complete list of all pests that are established or are threatening the southeast.
Click here for the SC Plant Pest List.
If you suspect you have found a regulated plant pest, please contact the Invasive Species Program at firstname.lastname@example.com or 864.646.2140.
If you would like a weed, disease, or insect identification for a non-regulated pest, please contact the Plant Problem Clinic for information on how to submit a sample.

Posted on 06/24/2013 7:54:43 PM PDT by kristinn
A Reuters reporter at the palace said the attack began soon after 6.30 a.m. (0200 GMT) on the building's east gate. Reporters were gathering for a press event with President Hamid Karzai.
(Excerpt) Read more at in.reuters.com ...
It would bea real shame if something happened to Karzai.
Taliban claim attack on presidential palace and say also targeting nearby Afghanistan defence ministry, other buildings
It would be one less thorn in obama's side . . . .
Well, those peace talks with the Taliban are underway I see.
Karzai's opposition to the peace talks with the Taliban may not matter much longer.
Kabul attack update: CIA HQ office building in front of Presidential Palace is on fire. Guns are silent now: @1TVNewsAF
Kabul attack update: Likely 2 insurgents in stand-off with security forces. Over 15 blasts happened, gunfire still underway.
This changes my indifference to the whole thing: According to the BBC, US personnel from "a nearby CIA station" are involved in the firefight.
Is this Kabul '13 or Tet '68?
AQ/Taliban are giving Obama a bloody nose for the road.
Any Muslims killed?
A BBC correspondent says the assailants are embroiled in clashes with President Hamid Karzai's bodyguards, as well as US personnel from the nearby CIA station.
Just a few days ago, it was reported that the Obama administration was negotiating directly with Karzai's opposition and cutting him out of the loop.
They should send Kerry out to talk to the insurgent attackers. It's probably just a misunderstanding on their part. He'll sit down with them and straighten things out.
the palace is literally around a corner from the embassy and ISAF hq...and an allegedly 'secret' CIA compound...how the hell they got in as far as the gate of the palace is beyond me
(well, actually I've been saying since 2010 when DoS supported Karzai kicking out the ex-pat security contractors that all it was going to take was a family member kidnapping and the TB would be able to drive a VBIED right past the checkpoints at Massoud circle since they were all manned by LN's)
Karzai not invited to participate by Obama = signal to Taliban that he wouldn't be against an attack on him.
[light bulb over head]
Obama is on the side of the people who we have fought for 11 years.
Dead betrayed seals, support for al Queda, withdrawals without victory. Kind of makes you wonder what our military is being asked to honor.
I'm still waiting to see Obama sit down with them without preconditions.
I'm still waiting to see Obama sit down with them without preconditions.
Karzai is a thorn in all our sides.Corrupt,two faced SOB.
obama is stuck. can't blow the place to pieces with a drone, he can't get the TelePrompTer in there in time to give a big speech, and he can't vote "present".
He's all out of options.
Taliban spokesman says suicide bombers attacked presidential palace, Min of Defense and Ariana Hotel (which is CIA's HQ)
Seems like the domestic enemy within is allied with foreign muslims looking to reestablish a caliphate in Damascus.
Sounds like treason and a waste of American troops lives is in progress.
It is remarkable - and sad - how much Afghanistan today is like Vietnam then.
And it will end the same way. The US will declare a face-saving "victory", and pull out. The insurgents will then overrun the demoralized government forces. Then we'll see helicopters taking off from the embassy rooftop again.
It's almost unbearably sad.
What difference does it make!
I wonder what YouTube video pissed them off
The White House has released a statement insisting that they found out about the attack on television, like everyone else.
Further proof that unless they are spying on Americans, the NSA can't find their own butt with both hands.
The bbc is reporting that the Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack.
"They should send Kerry out to talk to the insurgent attackers. Its probably just a misunderstanding on their part. Hell sit down with them and straighten things out."
"Do you like ketchup on your yak?"
-John Kerry
BO has another dilemma but AF One will still fly off for the African vacation tomorrow after he taxes us on energy use.
Yes but will Kerry still give the taliban their office space he promised?
I think it's further proof that *because* the NSA is so obsessed with spying on Americans, they can't deflect threats overseas anymore.
They're too busy building the world's largest data repository of Youtube cat videos.
Oh I get it. We can send people to backup a corrupt mooslime POS but we won't send anyone to help our own ambassador.
I am amazed that I am still amazed by the utter corruption, incompetence and malfeasance of this govt.
Multiple reports the attack is ended with all attackers dead.
Regular NVA divisions backed by tanks, artillery and MiG's overran Saigon, not Vietcong insurgents, who were wiped out during the Tet Offensive back in 1968.
O has been undercutting Karzai since he took office.
Tonight's attack, with us negotiating with the Talibs behind his back, will let Karzai know he must to see to his own survival.
He has known that since soon after O took office, but this will give it an exclamation point.
O is knocking over governments all over the middle east and replacing them with Muslim Brotherhood, and using Al Qaeda gunmen to do the dirty work. He is in the process of handing Afghanistan over to the Talibs. This shouldn't be that difficult to figure out. I think Karzai figured it out a long time ago.
Yup, Hiroshima ended up the same way....all attackers dead of course there was no city left either.
I think Barry should hop onto his yak and head over there and sit down and eat a little goat with these guys and talk out their problems one on one. They would probably even let him bring his teleprompter.
He has not yet quite gotten the full hitler thing down yet as he does not flail his arms about while giving one of his speeches....he does point and make this idiotic pointing upward of a finger like an exclamation point to highlight some point in one of his meandering diatrobes. When he gets to the full flailing of the arms level, perhaps then, someone will recognize this guy is Hitler II.
Yes, you're right. And I know that many RVN units performed admirably during those terrible final days. But IMHO, the analogy still holds. Afghanistan will end up exactly like Vietnam did.
Well, not exactly. After taking South Vietnam, the North did not then use it as a base to attack the US. After taking Afghanistan, radical islam WILL use it as a base to attack the US (again).
must be his african hotel room has dish network?
I am amazed Karzai has held out this long.
right after he gets a purple heart for the hangnail he got while typing the requisition!
Could get ugly real fast.
It's not Tet 68, I know that one.
I'm actually cautiously optimistic. Because of Kashmir and Central Asia, both the Indians and the Russians have a reason to keep the Afghan government standing. It all comes down to funding. The Soviets sent billions in brand-new equipment on credit* to the North Vietnamese just prior to the end in 1975. Russia alone has a bigger economy than the Soviet Union, thanks to free market reform and skyrocketing commodity prices. Bottom line is that Russia + India > any combination of private Gulf state donors.
* The mammoth scale of this loan was such that it never paid back in full and was written off against rent payments for Soviet bases in Communist Vietnam.
How you doin' bro? Hope all is well.
Bravo Zulu.
Dear Obama, WTF are you doing?
