Child care programs, often referred to as early care and education programs, are vital to the Kentucky economy.
59% of Kentucky children under age 6 and |62% of children age 6 to 12 have all parents working. (Source: Kids Count State Level Data Online: Kentucky Profile).
As a result, children of these families need warm, nurturing environments in which to grow and learn.
The need for early care and education programs in the Barren River Area Development District (BRADD) served by the Western Kentucky University (WKU) Child Care Resource & Referral (CCR&R) varies from county to county. The WKU CCR&R works with individuals to explore opportunities for new programs in the BRADD area and provides support to those in the process of starting a child care business.

British marathon man misses London 2012 after failure to meet UKA's qualifying criteria, but his non-selection brings rules under renewed scrutiny
British marathon men aiming to run in the London Olympics knew exactly what they had to do. Either a sub-2:12 clocking or top 20 position at the 2011 IAAF World Championships was necessary – and only two athletes, Scott Overall and Dave Webb, managed it.
Still, strong feelings of sympathy, injustice and downright bemusement are swirling through the harrier houses of British athletics this week after Lee Merrien was left out of the team. The Guernsey runner, who turns 33 this week, is taking it on the chin, but there are many who feel he is a victim of an elitist and rigid selection policy that is about as flexible as your average marathoner runner's hamstring.
In its defence, UKA had to set up some kind of guidelines so athletes would know the score and the governing body stuck faithfully to its criteria when recommending its selections to the British Olympic Association after the Virgin London Marathon on Sunday. Head coach Charles van Commenee and head of endurance Ian Stewart were also in the capital to watch the final big act of the marathon selection period unfold.
Yet complicated criteria aside (with its A and B standards, Daegu footnotes and domestic/international discrepancies) the harsh fact is that most general punters simply cannot understand why Britain is not filling its third place in the men's marathon team for London 2012 with the No.1 British finisher in the world's premier 26-miler.
A bit like last year's Boston Marathon being the fastest on record but not a world record, it is one of many examples of the sport shooting itself in the foot with bizarre rules and procedures. It might all make perfect sense to athletics insiders with an administrative or statistical bent, but to Joe Public it is madness divine.
Consider this:
» The qualifying "A" standard set by the global governing body, the IAAF, is 2:15:00 (the B standard is 2:18:00). Merrien clocked 2:13:41 in London, so there will be plenty of slower athletes at the Games.
» Despite a lonely, solo effort from halfway onwards, Merrien smashed his PB by 46 seconds – with a time that is two minutes quicker than Webb's best of 2:15:42.
» There are three places to fill and these, let's not forget, are a host Olympics.
» Shouldn't ambitious (and struggling) British distance runners be rewarded after meeting realistic targets, rather than getting snubbed after dedicating their life to the sport to become No.1 domestic runner in the country's premier marathon? What message does this send out?
Not surprisingly, a Facebook campaign page has been launched, with well around 1500 'likes' within 24 hours of the BOA's selection announcement.
Notably, Jon Brown, who was fourth for Britain in the Olympic marathon in 2000 and 2004, has shown his support for Merrien. Brown, who also held the UK 10,000m record before Mo Farah, said: "I do think Lee Merrien's run merits selection. Running another PB in THE selection race in less than ideal conditions should be appreciated."
Even the comedian and endurance charity-raiser John Bishop has tweeted his support for the Guernsey Island athlete.
Athletics Weekly's mailbag has also been busy.
"Merrien has run inside the IAAF A standard twice within the qualifying period, so by the standard used by the rest of the world he is quick enough to run in the Olympics," says Jonathan Bean, who has also blogged about the controversy. "If he was from another country he would probably have been selected."
Brian Holden, a former Commonwealth Games marathoner for Guernsey, calls Merrien's omission a disgrace and adds: "Lee was first UK athlete in London last year in 2:14 and then selected for the World Championships where he had to finish in the top 20 to be sure of an Olympic place, but finished 22nd.
"This year, he found the conditions difficult over the latter stages, due to wind and no company, as the other UK athletes were not up for it. I am sure if given the third place he would not let his country down."
At Athletics Weekly, the debate has divided opinion, with some staff agreeing the rules were clear from the start and should not be bent for one athlete. However, a number of experienced marathoners and athletics writers/statisticians associated with AW, such as Will Cockerell and Tim Grose among others, have privately questioned the decision to omit Merrien.
It goes without saying that most athletes are supportive of Merrien's plight, too. Not that the sport has a tremendous history of actually listening to them.
Ultimately, UKA and the BOA have done nothing wrong other than apply the rules. Like a football referee who makes an unpopular decision, they are also inevitably going to get a few boos. In addition, this is hardly in the same league as previous selection controversies either – such as the 'Coe must go' campaign in 1988 when IOC present Juan Antonio Samaranch nearly intervened with a 'wild card' idea.
It is nevertheless disappointing, though, and I hope it is not a sign of things to come and merely the first of many similarly painful selection decisions in the run-up to the most important sporting event in the history of British athletics.
» See Athletics Weekly on Thursday April 26 for in-depth coverage of the Virgin London Marathon.
Interesting debate, and the powers that be will no doubt be criticised as they have in the past, but surely a selection policy has to be adhered to, else at what point do you draw the line? For example, if you select Lee on basis of being faster than Webb then what about Wickes and Lemoncello? Breaking a policy doesn't just involve the athlete everyone feels sorry for, but any other athlete in a similar position outside the original criteria. And last time I checked we don't have 5 places on offer?
but surely better to have three places filled than two
He deserves selection – Amen!!!
The support Lee is getting is amazing, and justly deserved. It would be criminal not to have 3 British athletes to support in one of the few non ticket events.
Lee is an inspiration to young athletes, and I have seen this myself. He has worked incredibly hard for this dream and is only JUST outside the standard time and his PB is better than an already selected athlete. Would it be the end of the world if you filled the third place with the ONLY person who deserves it and will work so hard to represent himself and GB?!
I don't think that it is about feeling sorry for Lee – he is an excellent athlete. Unfortunately the selectors set criteria that back-fired on them. This meant that only 2 of the 3 slots were filled. I for one want Team GB use all their allotted places, how often do we have the Olympics at home. There are 3 women competing, so enter 3 men. Lee is the best athlete for that 3rd slot. As a spectator the marathon is my one chance to see a UK athlete in action – for free ,no ticket. We have all paid a lot of money to stage the Olympics and deserve a full compliment of runners to watch at this special event. I don't think it is unreasonable to ask the selectors to have another think. It would not be weakness it would be wisdom and courage.
Wicks isn't quicker (2:15:xx) and Lemoncello is only one second quicker and that time was set two years ago, not at the selection race for the Olympics (although it was the same course – but there are many other factors to consider).
Lee Merrien should have a place for the Olympics. The only reason we aren't sending him is that our governing body sees fit to set higher standard than the international federation. Why?! It is only setting barriers to our athletes succeeding.
This is going to be one of the big issues of the summer for UK athletics in many events – where there are places available, should athletes be selected if they have met the IAAF criteria but not the UKA criteria? The theory behind the harsher UKA criteria is to push athletes to perform better, and the thinking may well be that if they are seen to relent now for the marathon, others may think they can "back off" in the next few months and still be selected.____I just wonder though if the situation might change after late June, early July when the rest of the team is selected – this precedent argument on criteria disappears and the clamour to select the biggest possible team is likely to be very loud indeed. I expect that there might be a few late additions to the team, so Merrien should keep training just in case…____Just to clarify one point, the London marathon wasn't a selection race – there was no selection race – it just happened to be the last race before they selected the team. I am surprised the UK athletes on the borderline didn't run Rotterdam
I, like you, thought that UKA standards across all events were stricter than IAAF but have since researched it and found that it is only for the marathon (both men and women). In all other events the UKA standard matches the IAAF. So we have a runner who is effectively the national champion(The race was the English Championship for the Jim Peters Trophy, I suppose the equivalent to the old AAA's) and who ran the IAAF 'A' standard whilst achieving that title but is not selected. It will not be a case of opening the floodgates as UKA cannot drop the standard for other events below the IAAF standard, they could however drop their standard for the marathon TO the IAAF standard and everyone is happy.
Merrien sacrificed the chance of faster courses to run his "home" Marathon in LONDON. The expected pacemakers did not materialise(why not?) but despite this he ran a brave solo race well within the IOC standard and was 3 minutes clear of the next Briton. His chamionship record places him amongst the top Europeans – 2010 Europeans: 8th/1st GB, 2011 Worlds 22nd/6th EU/2nd GB. He has been first Briton in London 2011&2012. Unlike many events he will not get the chance to "try again next week" though he is clearly good enough, arguably best Briton….and improving. Revisit the criteria, select Lee Merrien.
I've witnessed enough decisions by the selectors in the last few years to realise that they are essentially total muppets.
Only pick 2 athletes when you can have 3, and 1 of your athletes ran 2:13 is improving, has the B standard, it's our home Olympics, essentially ran the 2:13 largely on his todd, course goes from SE London, wind was from the East, etc, etc, etc. Makes no sense whatsoever, and sticks a big 2 fingers up at anyone who aspires to make it, when we have enough trouble getting people to take the sport up in the first place. Imbeciles.
For my money both Webb and Merrien should be picked along with Overall.
Oh hang on a minute, I didn't consider the costs. Would cost a fortune to transport Merrien from Guernsey to London, could run into millions easily. If I had a smilie character that displayed the image of a moron, I'd insert several just here >.
He does deserve a place was a great solo run, i think more could have been done with pacemakers. However the selection criteria probably cannot be changed now. As other athletes may say they are at a dissadvantage and did not attempt london as they were not in 2.12 shape. I think for future years a trials race like in the US should take place with sub 2.20 – 2.25 or 66 half brits. racing for the places top 3 go. This would be awesome and benifit the depth of british distance running.
Britain to host this years Olympics, so why don't we show the rest of the world how good we are and fill all three places rather than putting out a message that says we don't have three fantastic athletes??
The only vaguely logical reason I can see for the refusal of Merrien is the floodgates argument that choosing Merrien will open the case for more athletes who have not achieved the BOA standard. However, I do not believe that this would happen. As only two of the three positions have been filled it seems appropriate to fill the third by selecting the next fastest athlete within the international standard, which in this case is Merrien. This slight 'rule-bending' is exceptional as this year is a home Olympics and we do not have three athletes that have qualified to run. With most rules there are exceptions, such as in the judicial process where judgments may be made in the interest of public policy. Rules should never be completely rigid as sometimes common sense must prevail, and in this case, there is no compelling reason why it shouldn't.
Hi Will, hopefully a response to boselcta below will answer your query – there is not a floodgate argument., All other UKA standards are the same as IAAF – they have only set the marathon higher (why ?).
Let common sense prevail.
dandeville is right, it's true that maybe it's harsh on some other guys who blew up in other races trying to run 2:12, maybe they could've run somewhere between that and Lee Merrien's time. It is a tricky one.. thanks to AW for presenting all the arguments in a balanced way. Given all the information I'd still argue for them to fill the spot and select him though. Olympic stories, dreams and inspiration go way beyond just the medalists surely for a home Olympics UKA should make allowances when athletes have qualified under IOC/ IAAF standards. If GB have managed to conjure up a handball team for the Olympics handball competition surely they should allow the maximum possible qualified athletes to compete in the Olympic marathon?
Formed in 1969,[2] the team took part in international competitions from 1972 to 1984 and has recently been reformed with the aim of taking part in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, which it is automatically qualified for as the host.[3]
I totally agree with the comments above, especially Paul Ingrouille's point about Lee's championship record.
As it stands, for one of the few events which the general public will get to see, Britain has picked one runner who stopped after 15k on Sunday with a hamstring injury and another whose last race was just under 25mins for 5 miles. Scott Overall and Dave Webb both deserve to be selected because they met the selection criteria (and I hope they both have good runs) but if there is a risk that one or the other won't make the start line then having a third runner who we know to be in good form, and who we know performs well in championships, clearly makes sense.
If this were an overseas games there may be reasons for restricting the size of the team but there is no extra cost in selecting Lee, and DarkFishCake can rest assured that if the cost of his air fare from Guernsey was the issue the Island would find the money!
It's OK, because David Beckham will be at the Olympics. Despite effectively retiring from the top level of his sport in 2006.
If the Team GB officials can't see that putting in an improving athlete like Merrien (who might well run sub 2h12 at London) might have a longer term benefit, then they are myopic imbeciles.
Namely that he is young enough that he can reasonably be expected to improve further by the games of 2016, and the experience of having an Olympic marathon under his belt might be the critical factor in his success in Rio.
This decision has changed my opinion on the Olympics. Particularly, the point of us hosting it. The marathon is one of the favourite "go along to watch without any sport knowledge" events, because everyone just likes to watch the marathon. And here we are, team GB, hosting in GB itself…and we don't put one of our best athletes through despite his hard work, sacrifice, consistency and inspirational qualities. I think the teamGB decision-makers have let a good few THOUSAND of people down and probably dashed a few kids aspirations. Hosting the Olympics is not supposed to be be about these rules and regulations. It's supposed to be about bringing people together, increasing the patriotism among our country and inspiring the upcoming generations. If there are 3 GB spots for men, USE three GB spots. There is no easier time to do this than now….with the Olympics right down the road from us all! In the same way, drug bans are there so sport is fair. This decision is hardly fair, considering the actual times run by each picked athlete in comparison to Lee. It may sound like an exaggeration comparing these two, but it is simply to prove my point.
GB team pickers…you've disheartened a lot of people. Lee Merrien deserved…deserves that place!
Look at China in Beiging… They had every man and their dog out representing their country and pulled quite a few surprises. They bagged so many medals even from those who wasn't rated as highly to get one .We are a joke, doesnt matter what the rules state. We MUST fill all available places and Lee Merrien is the most worthy of that last place. We must back him and let him run.
Lee Merrien ran a superb Marathon and deserves to be at the Olympics. I struggle to see the logic in not letting him run when he has run a Olympic qualifying time and he is not taking anyone elses place. The selectors seem so bound up in rules and red tape they seem to have lost sight of what the Olympics is all about. What is to be the great legacy of the Olympics? That our best athletes miss out because of some narrow interpretation of some self imposed and self contradictory rules? I am sure that if Lee was a more high profile name then the rules would be bent to accommodate. I am delighted that Overall and Webb can take part, there is no reason why Lee Merrien cannot run alongside them.
I find it a bit weird there was no real explanation I have read as to why the brits chose to not go with the pacemakers. Thought Scott Overall's lack of sympathy was a bit unusual as well to be honest. You'd expect the marathon guys to be a close group but he doesn;t seem in the slightest sympathetic to Lee. I understand the reasons for having the standard but to me as host nation it is a bizarre decision to handicap ourselves and also deny Lee a chance of a lifetime.
There are a few points I would like to clear up here.
Firstly, Jonathan Robbins – It was reported on the BBC that I was "injured" and that was the reason for me stopping at 15km, this is not the case. My hamstring was getting tight and therefore I decided to stop rather than risk injury to myself. Seeing as there were no British guys with the pacemakers, and that is what I was there for it seemed silly to carry on.
Secondly, in response to Christian and my apparent lack of sympathy for Lee.
The London marathon got in three pace makers to pace the race at 2:12, we were told to come through half way in 65:30, which in my opinion would give the best possible chance to run the qualifying time. ALL the British guys knew this, and a few, including Lee, said they were going to come with the pace makers. As it turned out not one of them did, for reasons I don't know. If they thought the pace was going to be too quick and would rather have come through in 66mins then they could have said in the meeting before the race, after all we were there to pace them and would have done what they wanted. I am more disappointed and annoyed that none of the British guys gave it a go and came with us.
As for the selection policy, that came out over a year ago and the athletes knew what we had to do. Yes it is faster than the IAAF standard, but making the Olympics isn't going to be easy. The women's time was faster and six of them hit the standard, it just shows that the harder standards can push athletes to perform.
Myself and Lee are friends, and I would love to see him on the start line at the Olympics, but at the end of the day he hasn't got an A-standard. It might just be that athletes are used to this cut throat selection, but every athlete I have spoken to agrees with me. The argument needed to be made when the selection criteria was released not when athletes fail to make the standard.
Scott I am sorry but as a Team GB spectator I do not agree with the selection decision – there is flexibility in the UKA rules and as this is a home event I want to see all 3 of you run. The Olympics is not the time to "teach" lessons – you all 3 deserve a place. I will be there cheering you to the rafters but as we have paid handsomely for London 2012 the British people deserve at least a few crumbs at the table. This is the people race. The marathon has a special place in London and Lee been the fastest UK man twice. The London 2012 marathon is free and unticketed – it may be many peoples only chance of seeing a Team GB vest. So we should have a full compliment of runners to support. As I get older I find that the inability to change you mind shows weakness not strength.
Scott, Thanks for responding and clearing up your stance. I think the points you make around the pacing are spot on and can totally understand your frustration. I guess your view does come across as cut-throat but like you say maybe that is the culture and you guys are used to it so fair enough. I wasn't suggested there was anything ulterior in your comments it just looked harsh but understand your point.
Anyway good luck with the training and fingers crossed for London.
It's good to hear you aren't injured and hopefully you will have a good run at the Olympics. My point was not about you (or Dave Webb) it was about the fact that UKA should be filling as many places in the team as possible, especially when last minute withdrawals are possible from any team.
As others have pointed out below, the marathon is the only event where the UKA standard is different to the IAAF standard, so Lee does have an "A standard". What he doesn't have is the UKA standard which for some unknown reason has been set at a higher level.
Thankfully, whether as a result of this public outcry or not, Lee has now been added to the team and UK fans can look forward to supporting all three runners on the streets of London.
I can't believe that UKA are passing up the chance to have as many Olympians as possible to inspire children and young athletes. This is a wasted opportunity in so many ways.
Lee, it is a disgrace that you have not been selected but it does not surprise me in this modern day age of pc crap and red tape that we live in now. I think that you have proved to everybody that you deserve to represent your country beyond any doubt especially when GB are allowed to enter a third runner, it's not as if they have to kick another athlete out of the team to put you in. I am really sorry for you, with all the hard work you have put in but unfortunately once again the people who make the decisions are so blinkered they are blind to being able to make the right decision. In the meantime you can hold your head high and know that you were the number one british runner last Sunday and that the whole of Guernsey and prob GB general public are behind you as we're most of the other British runners last Sunday !!!! good luck for your future running mate, stick in there.
When can we expect a response from the powers that be? And please, make it the right response…..Merrien must be selected….rules are only guide lines….please stand up and be counted with common sense at the fore front of your minds.
By the way, it is very interesting to note that the Boston Marathon a week ago was WON in 2:12:41, going down to 2:14:56 for 5th. Yes, the weather conditions were very hot, but it illuminates the arbitrary nature of the 2:12 figure UKA set. What if it was very hot in London? As it was it was merely quite windy.
Also, they're taking Webb due to an IAAF ruling. Why use one set of guidelines for him, and not use another equally good set for Merrien?
Also, Overall states that six women made the target – implying that plenty of men should have too; but that's because the women's target was more straightforward: 14:35 off the world record compared to only 8:22 for the men.
It does appear that team GB is shooting itself in the foot. The guidelines are clear but they are guidelines they are not set in stone we are not breaking any laws if Lee is given the place. A place that is free and not stopping anyone else who has filled the criteria. Surely common sense can prevail and our guide lines should be closely looked at. The fact is Lee did run faster than Webb now if anyone was suggesting someone lose a place it would be a different argument but we are talking about a fit young man who has dedicated himself to a sport and he deserves a chance and the experience. We don't exactly support our athletes let not actually hinder and dishearten them! Be sensible give Lee Merrien the place he richly deserves!

Janelle Davis and Mark O'Connell join the Empire
THE Empire Theatre is set to welcome two new board members to the organisation.
The new appointments will fill a long-term vacancy on the board and a position made vacant by the resignation of Dr Kate Foy.
Council's environment and community committee unanimously agreed Janelle Davis and Mark O'Connell were the right people for the jobs.
Board chairman Professor Peter Swannell agreed.
"Janelle is a music teacher who has worked very closely with our foundation for a number of years," he said.
"She has worked on a number of our theatre productions and is a very knowledgeable person of the arts.
"She will make an excellent member of our board."
Prof Swannell's praise for Mark O'Connell was just as high.
"Mark was initially unknown to me, but I was incredibly impressed when I met him," he said.
"He has a background in business in the wine industry, but is now working at the Oakey Aviation Base where he manages support staff.
"He is a very astute and down-to-earth man.
"His experience in business and strategic planning will be very handy."
The decision still needs to be ratified at next Tuesday's full meeting of council.

Record number of Native Hawaiian students become medical doctors
University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa
On Saturday and Sunday, May 15 and 16, degrees will be awarded and convocation celebrated for the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa's John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM). Fifty-eight students will receive their medical degrees from the medical school this weekend, including a record number of Native Hawaiians in a single class.
Media interested in covering the MD graduation are encouraged to attend Sunday's convocation ceremony, which is the MD program's official celebration of graduation.
Twelve of this year's 58 new physicians are Native Hawaiians, the largest single class of students of Native Hawaiian ancestry to graduate from the medical school. They include Kamehameha Schools graduates Jordan Lee (JABSOM 2010 class president), and Marcus Iwane, the American Medical Association 2008 Minority Scholar.
Ninety percent of all students attending the medical school are Hawaiʻi residents, by school tradition. Physicians in the Class of 2010 will continue training in specialties they have chosen.
Fifteen of the class will perform that training in the Hawai'i Residency Program. Through the program, the medical school partners with major medical centers statewide to annually train more than 200 graduated MDs in internal medicine, general surgery, geriatric medicine, family practice, psychiatry (general, geriatric, child and adolescent and addictions), obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, pathology and orthopedic surgery.
According to preliminary research by the medical school that was reported to the 2010 state Legislature, Hawai'i is currently short by 500 practicing physicians, based on population. More than a quarter of the doctors who are in practice are already at retirement age.
To help meet the need demonstrated by that data, JABSOM has announced it will increase its incoming class size to 64 students, beginning with the class enrolling in medical school in July 2010. The school is also increasing its Imi Hoʻola ("Those Who Seek to Heal") Post-Baccalaureate Program from its current 10 to 12 students. Each year, successful graduates of the one-year "medical boot camp" at Imi Ho'ola are admitted into the incoming class of medical students. The program helps boost medical school enrollment by students from socially, culturally or economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
In addition to the 58 medical doctors graduating this weekend, JABSOM is pleased to announce the following additional degrees being awarded at UH Manoa's Commencement ceremony at the Stan Sheriff Center on Saturday, May 15:
* Six Doctors of Philosophy (PhD)
* Two Doctors of Public Health (DPH)
* 18 Master's of Public Health (MPH)
* Seven Master's in Biomedical Sciences (MBS)
* 10 Bachelor of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders (BS)
* 10 Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lawmakers pounded U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday with questions about the Justice Department's secret seizure of Associated Press telephone records, and grew frustrated when he said he had limited answers.
Holder noted to the House Judiciary Committee that he had recused himself from the leak investigation that prompted the phone records seizure, so the decision was not his.
But lawmakers still pushed him on why the subpoena for the two months of phone records last year was so broad and why the Justice Department did not first try to negotiate with AP to obtain information.
"We don't know where the buck stops," said U.S. Representative Jim Sensenbrenner, a Wisconsin Republican.
The seizure, denounced by critics as a gross intrusion into freedom of the press, has created a backlash in Washington and led to questions over how the Obama administration is balancing the need for national security with privacy rights.
The phone records issue erupted on Monday when the AP publicly complained about the seizure. The AP said it was informed last Friday that the Justice Department had gathered records for more than 20 phone lines assigned to the news agency and its reporters, covering April and May of last year.
The subpoena was part of an investigation into whether an unauthorized leak led to an AP report in May last year about an operation, conducted by the CIA and allied intelligence agencies, that stopped a Yemen-based al Qaeda plot to bomb a U.S.-bound airplane.
Holder said on Tuesday that he recused himself from the matter to avoid a potential conflict of interest because he was interviewed by the FBI as part of the same leak investigation.
Responding to lawmakers' questions on Wednesday, Holder said he did not have specific knowledge about how the subpoena was formulated, and added that it was Deputy Attorney General Jim Cole who authorized the document.
When asked why the Justice Department did not first try to obtain the information voluntarily from the AP, as required by law in most cases, Holder noted there are exceptions to that requirement.
But he declined to elaborate.
"Recusals are such that I don't have any interaction with the people who are involved in the case," Holder said.
The AP issue came as President Barack Obama faces a barrage of criticism over his administration's handling of other issues - notably the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups for extra scrutiny.
The White House sought on Wednesday to express its commitment to press freedom. Spokesman Jay Carney said the administration is seeking to revive legislation that would give journalists legal protection when guarding their sources.
The White House has been in contact with Democratic Senator Charles Schumer of New York to reintroduce a 2009 bill, Carney said. Known as the Free Flow of Information Act, the bill would give federal protection to reporters who decline to release information about their sources because of a promise of confidentiality.

Bark park
Spirit of Halloween alive at Hudson's 'Bark in the Park'By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
October 20. 2013 8:37PM
HUDSON — The spirit of Halloween was alive and well at the Hudson Dog Park on Saturday, where there were plenty of treats (and tricks) for the four-legged as well as the two-legged at the third annual Bark in the Park event, a major fundraiser for the local dog park.
The day featured a doggie costume contest, pet photos, a bake sale, raffles, and an assortment of goodies for pets and the people who love them.
The dog park opened inside Benson Park several years ago and operates entirely on the efforts of volunteers for its constant upkeep, said board secretary Cheryl Wheeler.
Park officials are hoping to purchase some much-needed maintenance equipment and also install additional benches within the park.
Local pet supply store America's Pets and Hudson-based dog treat bakery Casey Jones Bones donated 100 percent of the proceeds from Saturday's sales to the dog park.
Lill Marks, co-owner of America's Pets, said the store has been a strong supporter of the dog park since its beginning.
"We'd start by having bake sales at the store before the park was even built," Marks said.Photos of this year's doggie costume contest contestants are posted on the Friends of Hudson Dog Park Facebook page, where visitors can "like" their favorite costumed canines from now through Halloween.The most "likeable" pooch will win a special goody basket, Wheeler said.
Formed in 2010, the Friends of the Hudson Dog Park initially raised $26,000 to construct the two-section, off-leash dog park.
The park opened to the public last fall.

The University of Tennessee Health Science Center hosted a public information session on the development of its new campus plan last week at the Student-Alumni Center Dining Hall on its Midtown campus at 800 Madison Ave.
Perkins-Will principal and director of campus planning Krisan Osterby talked about what makes growth at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center campus unique.
(Daily News/Andrew J. Breig)
The Tuesday, Nov. 5, gathering outlined a flexible roadmap for the urban campus over the next 10 to 15 years, including a detailed 24-month schedule for the development of the new master plan.
"We are optimistic, excited and enthusiastic about what the culmination of this process will mean for the university," said Dr. Ken Brown, UTHSC executive vice chancellor and chief operations officer.
Chicago-based architecture firm Perkins-Will, which developed UT Chattanooga's campus master plan, recently won the bid to draft the new vision for the 102-year-old campus.
"Development of this particular health science center is a robust and complicated enterprise that is (located) in a very interesting part of the city, at a nexus between the medical district, Downtown and all of the evolving activity that happens through the corridors of the freeways," said Krisan Osterby, Perkins-Will principal and director of campus planning.
The master plan design is expected to be fully completed by September 2015. Critical drivers of the plan will be the design of research centers, student life and housing, open spaces and parking.
In addition to a revitalization of the campus historic core, Osterby feels the campus' current surface parking lots are prime targets for future redevelopment.
"Memphis is a distinct urban community with a distinct demographic and organizational structure," said Osterby, who noted that design concepts would focus on community health and interdisciplinary teaching and practices.
Over the past three to five years, UTHSC has received between $250 million and $300 million in capital improvement funds. Several construction projects are already underway, including a multi-disciplinary simulation center and a translational research building, which is in the final stages of completion and is expected to be finished in the next three to six months.
The $5 million demolition of five older buildings on the campus, including the Beale building built in 1925, is in the final stages. The Feurt, Randolph, Hyde and Goodman buildings (all built between 1961 and 1988) are also being torn down.
–Dr. Ken Brown, UTHSC
"We are having a pre-demolition meeting … and there's a good chance one of the demolitions will be an implosion," said Janet Smith-Haltom, principal with Hnedak Bobo Group Inc., which is handling the demolition of four of the buildings. "The buildings are functionally obsolete. The first thing to happen will be the removal of any hazardous materials (such as lead paint or asbestos) before any demolition can start."
The demolition is contractually obligated to be completed in the next 120 days.
Next up for the campus and Hnedak Bobo will be a $68.4 million renovation of the school's historic quadrangle.
"We will have the kickoff meeting for that project in the next few weeks," said Smith-Haltom, whose firm is also leading the current construction of the school's translational research facility.
Other ongoing work on the campus includes Brg3s Architects designing a pharmaceutical compounding facility. The Plough Foundation donated approximately $4 million to support the project, and UTHSC is likely to contribute another $5 million.
The university also wants to design a building for the College of Medicine, is in the process of designing a second building for the College of Dentistry, and it hopes to acquire some properties owned by Bioworks Foundation, where there are future plans for demolition and construction.
The fifth and sixth floors of the college's new pharmacy building are now in the process of being built out with wet lab space for pharmaceutical research. The first four floors of the $70 million building came online last year.
UTHSC will maintain an interactive website to inform the community and stakeholders about the progress of the project, as well as to elicit any feedback and concerns.

Two men escaped injury Friday afternoon after their boat began to take on water on High Rock Lake.
Two men escaped injury Friday afternoon after their boat began to take on water on High Rock Lake.
Tyler Nance, 21, and Nick Brisson, 21, both of Thomasville, were fishing between the Wildlife Access area and the High Rock dam when their boat began to fill with water. Nance alerted his mother, Nancy, by phone that his boat was beginning to turn over. The mother immediately called 911.
First responders were dispatched at about 4 p.m. to a call that a small jon boat had capsized. Davidson County Rescue Squad Chief Reggie Lookabill said the Southmont Volunteer Fire Department, the rescue squad, sheriff's deputies and Davidson County EMS searched for about 40 minutes until the men were found. A firefighter located the men, who were uninjured, and their boat, which had been tied up to land.
The boat, according to the SVFD, did not fully capsize. A SVFD firefighter also reported the wind caused the incident to happen as the waters were up.
Lookabill said the waves were rough and pushed the boat to the bank where the boat began to fill with water. He said the men abandoned the boat and swam to shore.
"The water was really rough and the wind was blowing," the chief said. "I think they were overwhelmed by the waves and the rough water."
Lookabill said Wanda Nance made the initial call. Once she heard the boat was sinking, she told her son and his friend to swim.
The mother told The Dispatch that her son had just got the boat about a month ago. She said it was the first time he had taken the boat out and it was equipped with life jackets. Wanda Nance said she heard from her son about 3 p.m., and he was excited that he and his friend had caught a lot of fish.
"As long as he is alive, it's OK," she said about two hours after the incident. "They go fishing all the time, every weekend. This is just a freak accident. I think it was because it's so windy and (they are) not used to it."

By Toni Clarke
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The nominee to lead a key healthcare agency said on Tuesday that the agency was investigating events surrounding a decision on Medicare Advantage payment rates that sent shares of insurance companies soaring.
Marilyn Tavenner was asked about the April 1 rate decision at a Senate confirmation hearing by Republican Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa, who has said the rate decision might have been leaked to Height Securities, an investment research firm.
"We have initiated an internal review. And it will be extensive," Tavenner said. "I've also asked that the Office of the Inspector General be brought in on this issue as well."
Tavenner was nominated by President Barack Obama to become administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. She has been acting administrator since 2011.
The CMS is a federal agency that administers the Medicare program and works with state governments to administer Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program.
Grassley's queries were based on an April 3 Wall Street Journal report that stock market gains on April 1 were due to a report by Height Securities, saying the announcement would favor insurers.
The firm sent an advisory to its clients 18 minutes before the close of trading on April 1, and before CMS released its decision publicly, Grassley said.
In those 18 minutes, he said the share prices and traded volumes of insurers Humana Inc, UnitedHealth Group Inc and Aetna Inc soared.
"The consequence of a political intelligence firm having access to this information 18 minutes before the market closed is astonishing," Grassley said.
"I hope you'll agree that ultimately, you're responsible. What are you going to do to hold somebody accountable for this leak?" Grassley asked Tavenner, who responded, "I do not consider this a small issue. I consider this a huge issue."
Height Securities did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Darrell Hazell spent most of his coaching career telling others to "be great." Now he'll try to live up to that mantra in his new job at Purdue.
Boilermakers athletic director Morgan Burke hired the 48-year-old Kent State coach on Wednesday to lead the school dubbed as the Cradle of Quarterbacks out of mediocrity, back into national prominence and presumably back to a Rose Bowl.
"I'm extremely excited to work with the players at Purdue, and I look forward to experiencing a lot of success in the future," Hazell said in a release issued by the school. "It's a wonderful opportunity."
Hazell broke the news to his players during a Wednesday morning meeting after a day of speculation about Hazell's future. Purdue has scheduled a 7 p.m. news conference to introduce Hazell.
Hazell won this season's Mid-American Conference coach of the year award after leading Kent State to its first winning season since 2001, first bowl appearance in more than four decades and the brink of a BCS bowl game.
The 48-year-old Hazell grew up in New Jersey, but played football at Muskingum College in Ohio. He has strong ties to the Buckeye State, including a seven-year stint on the staff of former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel.
Kent State hired Hazell in December 2010 and led the Golden Flashes to a 5-7 mark (4-4 MAC) and a third-place finish in his first season as a head coach. This year, Hazell's squad went 11-2 (8-0) and won the MAC East.
He fits the mold of coach Burke outlined during a Nov. 25 news conference to announce the firing of Danny Hope.
"We are an offensive-minded program. That's where we've made our mark over the years. I don't see that under the circumstances changing," Burke said during the news conference. "We're not going to move into a coach that has a dramatically different scheme because we've built this team to play a certain kind of football. We've seen other institutions that made a coaching change, then they changed their style of play. It took two or three years to adjust. We're not going to do that. We've got talent in this program, we know we have talent in this program. We want it to be nurtured."
Hazell rebuilt Kent State's program in just two years, largely on the strength of a strong ground game spearheaded by star Dri Archer. Purdue has preferred the up-tempo, fast-break style offense Joe Tiller brought to West Lafayette and that Hope kept.
He spent seven seasons coaching Ohio State's receivers under Jim Tressel, has a reputation as a strong recruiter and players have spoken glowingly about the passion and excitement he's brought to the locker room.
The question is whether Hazell is a big enough name to fill the other area Burke wanted to shore up — attendance, which has steadily declined over the last five years, the last four under Hope.
"We've lost a third of the fan base. We've gone from about 54,000 paid attendance in 2007-08 to 37,000 this past year," Burke said. "We can't do what we need to do resource-wise with losing a third of the fan base, OK? Everybody has all kinds of ideas and rationales on what we can do. But at the end of the day, obviously, we've got some work to do to both thank the people who have been with us and stayed with us, but also encourage those who jumped off the boat to get back in."
Fans initially were clamoring for another MAC coach with Big Ten experience, Northern Illinois' Dave Doeren, who took the North Carolina State job after beating Kent State in the MAC championship game.
Burke also brought Cincinnati coach Butch Jones to campus Sunday afternoon, the day after the Bearcats clinched a share of a second straight Big East title. The next day, Jones flew to Colorado and was reportedly offered a five-year deal worth $13.5 million. Hope earned a Big Ten-low $950,000 in guaranteed compensation last year, though Burke acknowledged he was willing to spend more on his next coach.
Details of Hazell's contract were not immediately available. He made a base salary of $300,000 with the Golden Flashes.
"We're prepared to compete," Burke said when he announced Hope's firing. "We know in the Big Ten and nationally what you have to do to compete. We're prepared to do that."
As word leaked of Colorado's offer, Burke and a contingent of Purdue officials reportedly flew to northeastern Ohio, where they met with Hazell.
Hazell is the first black coach in Boilermakers history and will take over fulltime duties later this month. The Boilermakers (6-6, 3-5) are scheduled to play Jan. 1.
Hazell also has been an assistant at Rutgers, West Virginia, Army, Western Michigan, Penn, Eastern Illinois and Oberlin College in Ohio. He was inducted into the Muskingum College hall of fame in 1993.
Burke had already said receivers coach Patrick Higgins will coach the Boilermakers in their bowl game.

Otonomy Presents Positive New Findings From Phase 1b Study of OTO-104 in Meniere's Disease at International Conference
Observed Clinical Activity Suggests OTO-104 Provides Clinically Meaningful Reduction in Vertigo Frequency and Improvement in Tinnitus
Sep 29, 2011, 07:30 ET
SAN DIEGO, Calif., Sept. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Otonomy, Inc., a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapeutics for diseases and disorders of the inner and middle ear, today announced that researchers presented positive new data from a Phase 1b study of the company's lead product candidate, OTO-104, in patients with Meniere's disease. The presented data showed that patients treated with OTO-104 experienced clinically meaningful reductions in vertigo frequency and improvements in tinnitus as compared to placebo. These results were presented today in an oral presentation at the 28th Politzer Society Meeting in Athens, Greece.
Researchers presented findings showing clinically meaningful reductions in vertigo frequency at three months with the 12 mg OTO-104 dose as compared to placebo. Prior to treatment, patients in both the 12 mg OTO-104 and placebo groups experienced an average of eight days with definitive vertigo episodes during a baseline period of one month. Following a single intratympanic (IT) injection, patients in the 12 mg OTO-104 group experienced a month-over-month reduction in vertigo frequency throughout the three month follow-up period, and achieved an approximate six day reduction in the number of definitive vertigo days in the third month versus baseline. When compared to placebo, at three months following treatment, the 12 mg study group experienced a 70 percent greater reduction from baseline in the number of days with definitive vertigo episodes. There was no clinically meaningful difference in vertigo frequency between the 3 mg OTO-104 and placebo groups at three months following treatment.
Additionally, the presented study data demonstrated that both the 3 mg and 12 mg OTO-104 doses were associated with improvement in tinnitus as measured by the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI-25). THI is a clinically validated patient-reported measure that can be used to quantify the impact of tinnitus on activities of daily living. Both OTO-104 doses resulted in reductions in THI Total Score from baseline as early as one month following treatment. Furthermore, these THI Total Scores continued to decrease throughout the entire three month follow-up period, suggesting continued improvement in tinnitus symptoms experienced by patients treated with OTO-104. By contrast, the study's placebo group demonstrated little change in THI Total Score from baseline during the three month follow-up period.
As previously reported, results from this study showed OTO-104 to be safe and well-tolerated at both doses tested when delivered via a single IT injection. It is important to note that despite demonstrating meaningful clinical activity in the areas of vertigo and tinnitus, this study was not powered to demonstrate statistical significance. Based on these study results, Otonomy will initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial of OTO-104 in Meniere's disease during the fourth quarter of 2011.
"These new results provide the first demonstration of OTO-104's clinical activity in a cohort of Meniere's disease patients experiencing frequent vertigo episodes," stated Paul R. Lambert, M.D., professor and chair of the department of otolaryngology – head and neck surgery, Medical University of South Carolina, and the study's lead investigator. "Furthermore, the continued reduction in vertigo frequency and improvement in tinnitus symptoms for the 12 mg OTO-104 group observed through three months of follow-up provides a strong rationale for initiating broader clinical evaluations of this sustained release product."
A total of 44 patients with unilateral Meniere's disease were enrolled in this prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter study. Patients participated in a one-month baseline period to characterize disease status, followed by randomization to receive a single IT injection of OTO-104 (3 mg or 12 mg) or placebo. Patients were monitored over a three-month observation period following injection. The study's primary objective was the evaluation of the safety and tolerability of OTO-104. Additionally, the study evaluated various indicators of OTO-104 clinical activity including changes in vertigo, tinnitus, hearing function and patient quality of life.
"Following a meeting with the United States Food and Drug Administration regarding these Phase 1b results and our proposed plans for continued clinical development of OTO-104, we are now in a strong position to move this program forward," said David A. Weber, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Otonomy. "Importantly, our upcoming Phase 2 study will include a much greater number of patients and be powered to deliver statistically significant findings with regard to clinical efficacy. As such, we look forward to the initiation of this study as we seek to establish the therapeutic potential of OTO-104 to help patients suffering from the debilitating symptoms of Meniere's disease."
About OTO-104
OTO-104 is a sustained release formulation of the steroid dexamethasone that has been designed for intratympanic (IT) injection into the middle ear for the potential treatment of a broad range of inner ear disorders including vertigo, hearing loss and tinnitus. OTO-104 is based on Otonomy's proprietary formulation technology which is intended to overcome the limitations associated with the use of unapproved short acting solutions in the ear. These include limited drug exposure, large variability of delivered dose and the need for multiple IT injections.
About Meniere's Disease
Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear characterized by acute episodes of vertigo, fluctuations in hearing, tinnitus and aural fullness. The underlying cause of Meniere's disease is unknown and there are currently no FDA-approved drug treatments. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), approximately 615,000 individuals have been diagnosed with Meniere's disease in the United States.
About Otonomy
Otonomy is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapeutics for diseases and disorders of the inner and middle ear. There are currently no FDA-approved drug treatments for the nearly 30 million Americans that are affected by debilitating hearing and balance diseases and disorders such as Meniere's disease, sudden sensorineural hearing loss, noise-induced hearing loss, age-related hearing impairment and tinnitus. Otonomy's core technology is a sustained release formulation developed for optimal delivery of drugs to the middle and inner ear with a single IT injection. This technology has broad applicability across a range of therapeutic classes and two products based on this platform are in active development.
Otonomy's lead product candidate, OTO-104, is a sustained release formulation of the steroid dexamethasone. The company has finalized plans for a Phase 2 clinical trial in Meniere's disease patients and plans to initiate the study during the fourth quarter of 2011. Additional future studies of OTO-104 are being planned in other inner ear disorders. OTO-201, the company's second product candidate, is a novel sustained release antibiotic being developed in the field of otitis media. OTO-201 clinical trials are expected to begin in 2011. Additional product candidates are expected to target acute and chronic forms of hearing loss, balance disorders, and tinnitus.

" ... In 1986 an offer to share a workshop with an antique restorer friend started me thinking about using some of my enthusiasm and interest in wood to real benefit. I restored musical instruments for a time - but I soon decided I wanted to actually make something.
I was fascinated by boxes, and still am. Isn't everyone? ... boxes contain things and, more importantly, HIDE things from view. Human nature being what it is one naturally wants to know what is inside a closed box - so a natural reflex is to open it, and if it's locked you really want to open it. What is it that is being so carefully protected, or hidden - what can it be that justifies this special treatment, particularly if it is an elaborate and valuable box.
I wanted to create these 'precious' and fascinating items -the 'jewellery' of the cabinet makers art - and this also suited the logistics of being in a small, shared workshop surrounded by chests of drawers, tables, chairs and partner's desks. Actually I had made my first box around the time I moved into the workshop [click here] and this was so well received that I decided to phase out the musical instrument work to concentrate on the box making. Things just took off from there and I have been making boxes ever since. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

The Early Music Shop was formed in 1968 at a time when early music, as we now know it, was in its infancy. We were encouraged in our early years by the late David Munrow and many of his pioneering contemporaries, and it's almost true to say that The Early Music Shop is as old as the early music revival itself. It has certainly contributed to the continuing interest there has been in the field, making early music and its performance on original instruments accessible to a growing number of people.
