Now the real work begins, as FDA moves to implement new policies and prepare a host of required guidances and reports. As with most 300-page bills, FDASIA has something for everyone: patient advocates gained incentives for developing critical medicines; providers applauded policies to curb drug shortages; and FDA and industry cheered renewal of user fees that will keep the agency going for another five years.
Accepting riskOn the "spurring innovation" side, this fifth version of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFAV) offers assistance for sponsors and greater transparency in the application review process. An important theme is that FDA and pharma should consider patient willingness to accept risk in product development and regulation. Patient advocates played a prominent role in pressing for faster FDA approval of certain new treatments.
Specific provisions provide expedited review of fast-track products and clarification of evidence and endpoints to support accelerated approval of drugs for serious or life-threatening conditions. Grants for developing orphan products will continue, and revised conflict-of-interest rules will make it easier to bring in "knowledgeable experts" to serve on advisory committees, especially those dealing with rare diseases.
A less-noticed but important provision requires electronic submission of applications for drugs and biologics, once FDA establishes policies and standards for doing so. Here, FDA and the legislators take the unusual step of making agency guidance mandatory, a strategy that seeks to move this policy forward without a lengthy rulemaking process. And the final bill aims to reduce duplicative clinical studies by encouraging FDA to accept foreign clinical trial data that supports new drug applications.
FDASIA also allows manufacturers to make minor modifications in Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) programs. Generic drug makers lost out in their campaign to prevent brand companies from using REMS to block access to products needed to test and develop new generic competitors, an issue that could affect biosimilar development down the road. However, other changes in generic exclusivity policy and procedures for handling citizens' petitions promise to accelerate consumer access to generics.
Some Senators sought to add restrictions on the prescribing and sale of opioid painkillers to rein in the rampant abuse of these products, but ran into strong objections from pharmacists. Instead, FDA will hold a public meeting on this thorny topic. That could address whether FDA's long-awaited REMS for extended-release opioids, which was released last month, does enough to control abuse, in that it fails to require prescribers to meet certain educational requirements.

Great experience do not hesitate to buy from Wholwsale RV ClubWorking with Amy was an absolute pleasure. We saw what we wanted at an RV show and before buying I thought I would compare pricing (truth be told I over analyze everything) and I came upon Wholesale RV Club. I was somewhat skeptical but when trying to price a unit locally I couldn't get close to Wholesale Club's pricing. My local dealer gave up and he was still $1500 higher (including delivery costs ...

Whether you are considering the purchase of your first RV or your next RV, we are confident you will enjoy the following advantages of Prime Time Manufacturing:
Prime Time Manufacturing understands the critical elements of designing a winning recreational vehicle – floorplan, eye appeal, storage, and convenience. However, the true genius is in the details. Is every inch of storage space fully utilized? Is there adequate pantry space for both tall and short items? Where do you put your trash can? Does each feature maximize user comfort and convenience? Are the decors residential yet durable? We have spent years listening to customers talk about what they want in the "perfect" RV. Drawing on that feedback, countless hours are incorporated into dissecting every detail to fully maximize the enjoyment each of our models will provide. We are fanatical about design because we want to ensure that our RVs will EXCEED your expectations.
Prime Time Manufacturing chose to headquarter its operations in Wakarusa, Indiana, the center of northern Indiana's Amish community. This is an area where old world craftsmanship, traditional work ethics, and doing things the "right" way are still emphasized and valued. Our executive management team has over 100 years of manufacturing experience that allows Prime Time to engineer and build an RV that will withstand the test of time. Every unit we ship is put through a rigorous 65 point system inspection at our factory AND at your selling dealership to make sure your first camping adventure is memorable for all of the right reasons. Finally, we provide a comprehensive Emergency Roadside Assistance program for your additional safety, convenience, and peace of mind. For us, quality isn't just a slogan, it's our culture.
Prime Time Manufacturing is a division of Forest River, Inc, one of North America's largest producers of towable recreational products. Because of our tremendous corporate sales volume, we are able to leverage massive purchasing power to produce an RV with more features for the money than any other company in the industry. We also operate with extremely low overhead. You won't find Prime Time advertising in national trade magazines or traditional media sources – we rely on good old fashioned word of mouth advertising. Our dealers aren't rewarded with luxurious trips or outfitted with fancy wardrobes – they only get high quality, fast selling RVs that are priced lower than the competition. We understand that the purchase of your next RV is one of the most important decisions you will make and we are committed to giving you the best value for your hard earned dollar.

ntel has added a fifth desktop Core 2 Duo processor to the list of 45nm 'Penryn' CPUs it plans to release early next year.
The addition is the E8190, a version of the already scheduled E8200 that doesn't support virtualisation or Intel's Trusted Execution Technology, Taiwanese motherboard-maker moles claim by way of local newssite DigiTimes.
The part will run at 2.66GHz, contain 6MB of L2 cache and sit on a 1333MHz frontside bus (FSB). Like the similarly specced E8200, it will consume up to 65W of power.
January will also see the arrival of the Core 2 Duo E8300, E8400 and E8500, clocked at 2.83GHz, 3.0GHz and 3.16GHz, respectively, all with 6MB of L2 and a thermal envelope of 65W.
The New Year will also usher in 45nm Core 2 Quads: the 2.5GHz Q9300, the 2.66GHz Q9450 and the 2.83GHz Q9550, all with four cores and 1333MHz FSBs. The Q9300 will have 6MB of L2 cache; the Q9450 and Q9550, 12MB. All three consume up to 95W.
To these we can now add the April introduction of the Core 2 Duo E5000 series, low-end desktop chips that succeed today's E4000 line-up. They're likely to contain just 3MB of L2 and operate on a 1066MHz FSB, putting them under the current 4MB L2, 65nm Core 2 Duo E6000 range.

Last Aug. 18, USDA head Mike Johanns held a press conference to say a LibertyLink trait had been found in the U.S. rice supply. Besides sending markets downward, the news sent the rice industry scrambling to clean up its supply.
There were also questions about the timing of USDA's announcement. Count Dwight Roberts, U.S. Rice Producers Association (USRPA) president, among the perplexed. In retrospect, however, there was a big clue the news wouldn't be good.
"USDA made the announcement about GM rice late on Friday afternoon. When you hear the government is coming out with something major on a Friday, it's not going to be good. They don't want to face the heat. If it's good, they announce it on a Monday or Tuesday morning."
Following the USDA disclosure, Roberts immediately began working to keep foreign markets shored up and U.S. rice farmers in the information loop. And that work has continued since.
Recently, between trips abroad and meetings with rice industry officials, Roberts spoke with Delta Farm Press. Among his comments:
On the reaction to the USDA LL announcement…
"My first reaction to (hearing about the announced USDA press conference) was that Uruguay had formerly filed a WTO rice case.
"But it really wasn't surprising it was GMO-related. GMO problems have already happened — like with StarLink corn. We've probably been eating GMOs — and I'm not talking about rice — without realizing it for who knows how long?
"An example I point to is a Newsweek article years ago on Oaxaca (Mexico) farmers who noticed their corn was growing unusually large, with more ears. They figured out seasonal Mexican workers here in the United States took seed back home with them. 'That American corn looks good. I'm going to carry a pound of seed home.' So, all of a sudden, they were growing GM corn in Mexico.
What about the market reaction since? There's some conflicting data on how much this has actually hurt U.S. export markets.
"I'm sensitive to the problems this has caused. For the rice industry, Aug. 18, 2006, will go down in history. It's changed the rice world forever. But if this was going to happen, the best time was during tight stocks around the world. That's the situation we're in.
"I doubt many were surprised by the EU's reaction to this. Look at what they've done with beef imports. They've always been leery of GMO foods. Japan has the same mindset.
"But the EU is an important market. For some mills, Europe makes up a big percentage of their business.
"At the same time, the rest of the world hasn't really bucked against our long-grain rice. Knock on wood; we haven't seen any major disruption in trade.
"That's especially true of Mexico and Central America, the largest markets for long-grain rice. Close to half, maybe more, of the U.S. long-grain exports go there. That's something like 1.4 million to 1.5 million tons of U.S. rice."
On the importance of dialogue with trading partners…
"Of course, the GM discovery spurred a considerable amount of discussion in Mexico and Central America. One of the first things I did was travel to all the major rice-buying countries in the Western Hemisphere and sat down with both the buyers of U.S. rice and their producer organizations.
"These meetings were actually before USDA deregulation took place. We wanted them to know this wasn't Frankenfood, not mad cow disease.
"The important message was to the producer organizations. The concerns of those importing U.S. rice were largely that the producers would tell their governments, 'don't buy U.S. rice. It's GMO and that's bad.' There were concerns they'd hook up with environmental groups and hurt trade.
"So I spent a lot of time explaining this. They'd ask, 'How do U.S. farmers feel about GMOs?' I'd say, 'They know consumer perception must be kept at the forefront. If (you) don't buy our product, we've got a major problem.'
"But at the same time, farmers can't turn their back on this technology that allows them to keep farming and has a long list of benefits. Farmers can grow more on less land, there are conservation aspects of it, fewer insecticides and pesticides used and potential medical benefits. We can't turn our back on all that.
"I tell the farmers in these countries 'don't turn your back on GMOs. If you do, it will come back to haunt you.'
"Since those meetings, I haven't heard any big complaints by producer groups.
"Everyone was watching a rice shipment to Costa Rica in early December. There had been environmentalists and an opposition political leader complaining about GMOs. But that ship — which had a certificate saying the shipment was free of GMO rice — was unloaded without any disturbance. The rice was milled and is currently on the supermarket shelf.
"But let me be perfectly clear in regards to GE rice: we're on thin ice to a large degree without knowing what will surface or where it will surface. Unfortunately, I guess its normal for folks to take this situation and use it to their advantage in the marketplace. As usual, farmers are the ones caught in the middle many times and bear the brunt monetarily. An effort to present a clean and healthy rice supply must be shared by everyone and not have all of the liability placed on farmers as was attempted early on."
Some claim the Mexicans and Central Americans want the bullhorns put away on this.
"Yeah, they want us to shut up and stop making so much noise.
"Greenpeace and others are always going to stir things up. They always have — without regard to sound science.
"There have been some attempts at disruption in Costa Rica. I haven't seen anything like that in other Central American countries, though.
"In fact, when I was in El Salvador, I bought the major newspaper. One of the sections had a double-page agriculture feature. Much of it was on GM foods and the minister of agriculture was quoted saying it's a great technology that must be managed properly and will play an important role in El Salvador's future.
"We must be careful about treating what's considered a healthy, deregulated product as if it's poison.
"Latin American leaders have told me, 'Americans need to be quiet about this. You're the only ones making noise. We want to continue buying your rice and don't want you calling attention to this.'
"In Mexico, the only thing I've seen in print was in a smaller newspaper before Christmas. There was a sentence or two in there about Mexican rice producers had complained to the government about GMO rice being imported.
"Since then, I've talked to the president of the Mexican Rice Producers Association, Pedro Diaz Hartz. I've known him for years. Ironically, he said, 'Yeah, it happened. But the reason is we had a bunch of U.S. rice that was rejected in Europe and was dumped into the market and undercut everyone. It depressed prices, made Mexican mills upset and angered producers. Complaining about GMO rice was the farmers' reaction.'
"I said, 'Pedro, we've got to find another way for you to complain.' He agreed."
More on the environment and markets…
"If the environmentalists are gaining ground with this GM rice issue, it isn't very obvious. Maybe they don't have as much (cachet) as they used to. Maybe they're spread thin. To date I do not know of any scientific proof that GMO rice is detrimental to human health or the environment. In fact, everything indicated is that it will improve human life and the environment.
"Even after all this we continue to sell rice in the Middle East. There is tremendous potential for U.S. rice sales to Brazil this year. If you look at what is happening in countries such as China and Indonesia and other key markets around the world, both suppliers and importers a very promising picture is painted for the American rice farmer.
"However, we must weather this current GE storm. I'm hopeful that we are moving in a positive direction but I think that it will take much all of 2007, at a minimum, to resolve the crisis.
"Where would we have been without this GM problem? I think we'd have made a bit quicker, higher climb. But these tight world supplies are helping us weather the storm."
What about the different state plans to get rid of this GM trait? Your thoughts on what's been constructed?
"The one thing that really concerns me is we're treating a product that's perfectly healthy in a stand-offish way.
"I understand the need to have recommendations and plans in place. But I think the liability for it needs to be spread throughout the industry. There are so many different areas that could hold a presence of the GM material that could taint a shipment or seed. So it needs to be fair for all.
"I've heard from farmers that disagree with me. But I think this is actually a good opportunity to push the GM issue.
"The USDA hasn't really gotten a handle on it. They've come out and said it's healthy, but they haven't got a big program to get behind the technology. There's been no forcing of the debate and, sooner or later, that will have to happen.
"Let's get the truth out. Farmers need to get active on this. They need to give true producer organizations their backing. In the end it's up to all of the rice industry to resolve the problem with some strong support from the USDA.
"In the end I think this ordeal will be concluded with that famous phrase, 'we've made a mountain out of a mole hill.' But in the meantime, the beast is out of the bag."

Responsible Tourist Profile
The responsible tourist is of no specific age, occupation, race, class, religion or other demographic. The responsible tourist comes to the country armed with background knowledge and understanding of the complexities surrounding the political climate and social issues. The responsible tourist supports human and animal rights. The responsible tourist supports the local community and economy in every way possible. The responsible tourist views travel as an educational experience for themselves and for their host communities and as an opportunity to share information and engage in a true cultural exchange. The responsible tourist doesn't support any form oftourism – especially childtourism, instead the responsible tourist speaks out against it. The responsible tourist has a firm commitment to the environment. The responsible tourist supports the value of local customs and cultures, which includes being sensitive in their own actions and dress code. The responsible tourist tries to make a positive impact in each and every action.
Negative Influences of Tourism
Tourism is the fastest growing industry in the world, but it is also one of the most destructive. Contextualised to Burma where possible, the below bullet points give an overview of the problems tourism is often responsible for.
Conflicts over resources: According to the United Nations, the average tourist uses as much water in 24 hours as a third-world villager would use to produce rice for 100 days[1]. This water is used for drinking, baths and showers, in some cases swimming pools and golf courses, fountains and landscaping. In the context of Burma, this is a major developmental issue. According to the UNDP, most areas of Burma lack access to a year-round supply of clean drinking water and domestic water, due to distance, the dry season or pollution. Water quality is generally not tested or assured, which leads to widespread water-borne diseases. In addition, sanitation awareness is generally low, and hygienic latrines are not common.

Positive Influences of Tourism
On the flip side, tourism as a development tool can have good potential. Contextualised to Burma where possible, the below bullet points give an overview of some positives of tourism.
Creating employment opportunities: Direct employment opportunities include ownership, management and employment in tourist hotels, restaurants, guided activities, providing transport, porter services, selling of handicrafts andsouvenirs. Indirect employment opportunities refer to the supply of goods and services that support tourism establishments, for example the food and suppliers for restaurants; the furniture to outfit guesthouses and hotels; the fuel used for transportation.

Making Sense of Responsible Tourism
The examples of the positive and negative impacts on tourism , as shown in the previous pages, differed in two main regards. The positive impacts were generally based around actions by individual, responsible tourists. The negative impacts were generally based upon lack of forward planning in areas frequented predominantly by mass-tourists, or at least by tourists in large numbers. However, those statements are generalizations as both forms of tourism can have their unique and situational impacts, both positive and negative, upon the communities, culture and environment.
Tourism Quotes
". . . your excuses will no longer be accepted. I count on you as ambassadors for sustainable tourism and as responsible individual tourists to give tourism and the destinations the future they deserve."
– Nico Visser (promoter of the concept "destination for generations")
Responsible Tourism
Voices for Burma feels that it is not enough to purely consider the political front when deciding whether or not to visit Burma. With climate change a reality and globalisation making the world more interconnected, the debate on tourism to Burma needs to be turned up a notch. In your decision whether or not to visit Burma, we feel that you also need to take into account the environment, and social and cultural responsibility. This section arms you with facts about responsible tourism, so you can decide whether or not your visit to Burma will be a positive one – not only for the Burmese people, but also for the environment and culture.
Burma promotes tourism as critics urge protest
source : CNN February 20.
YANGON, Myanmar (AP) – The tourism industry thinks it can make the magic of Myanmar – golden pagodas, ancient cities, sarong-clad people – a more potent lure than the calls for a protest of this military-ruled nation.
Business people maintain that lackluster marketing, few international air links and bureaucratic hassles rather than political activists have held Myanmar back from becoming one of Asia's top tourist destinations.

The Burma dilemma
By GARY WALSH Thursday 26 April, The Age
The issue of travelling to Myanmar is fraught with complexities – merely using the name Myanmar instead of Burma is sometimes construed as a political statement.
In the same way that the Khmer Rouge renamed Cambodia as Kampuchea during their reign of terror, SLORC (the State Law and Order Restoration Council) changed Burma's name to Myanmar in 1989.

Although I have never been a fan of Soulja Boy's music, I have been an enthusiastic supporter of the infectious entrepreneurial, "do-it-yourself" spirit he has instilled amongst his legion of fans – the majority of which belong to Generation Z, "The Net Generation." With fame, and the rapid rise of DeAndre Way's career, however, he has had to face a considerable amount of scrutiny and condemnation, in regards to a series of imprudent personal decisions that have been revealed under a bright, public spotlight.
On October 18, 2011, the 21-year rapper and four others were charged with felony possession of marijuana and guns – of a "substantial amount" – after being pulled over by police for a traffic violation in Temple, Georgia. The arrest fell exactly a week before the DVD release of his mini-documentary, Soulja Boy: The Movie, which was directed by Academy Award™ nominated director Peter Spirer (Notorious B.I.G. Bigger than Life, Tupac Shakur: Thug Angel). Unfortunately, in response to the arrest, all pending press activities were postponed indefinitely.
What disturbs me the most about DeAndre's recent arrest lay not in his decision to travel (and apparently carry) illegal drugs and weapons consciously, but rather the implied "normalcy" – as a bonafide member of America's economic "upper crust" – to engage in such actions. On the other hand, from a purely legalistic perspective, I am dismayed by the disproportionate search of vehicles owned by Black drivers during traffic stops by law enforcement officers, which ultimately leads to racially-imbalanced percentages in arrests and rates of incarceration.
[SIDENOTE: Contacts Between Police and the Public, 2008, a special report by the Bureau of Justice Statistics: (1) "Black drivers were about three times as likely as white drivers and about two times as likely as Hispanic drivers to be searched during a traffic stop." (2)"During traffic stops in 2008, about 57.7% of searches of the driver only and 60.0% of searches of the vehicle only were conducted with the driver's consent." (3)"About 36.1% of drivers who were only physically searched and 20.7% of drivers who only had their vehicle searched believed police had a legitimate reason to do so."]
According to Temple Police spokeswoman officer Dana Rampy, five ounces of marijuana were found in DeAndre's transport vehicle. Considering the quantity cited by law enforcement officials, this unfortunate incident alludes to more than simple possession for "recreational" usage and instead a spotlight on frequent "illicit" usage by the artist and members of his entourage.
Above and beyond these concerns, I am deeply troubled by the felony record that has also been attached to Soulja Boy's "permanent record." (Historically, he is simply an addendum to a long list of fellow rappers – from DMX to T.I. to Wiz Khlaifa, and Big Boi - all of whom have been charged for the possession of controlled substances or related paraphernalia.) In light of this nagging legacy and its enduring presence in contemporary times, what does the Hip-Hop community – whether membership be defined as a producer or consumer of the culture – have to say about the ever-increasing number of its visible "role models" – even if they do not see themselves as such – being disenfranchised within socio-political frameworks?
If Hip-Hop aims to be an active and powerful agent of "undefined" change, then what steps its community take to safeguard and empower its young men who serve as "mainstream" representatives for countless millions? Who, pray-tell, is guiding and mentoring the current generation of entertainers?

PRINCETON — The financial picture is bleak for the Princeton Elementary School District and getting bleaker, according to PES Superintendent Tim Smith.
The PES Board met in special session Monday evening to hear an update from Smith on the growing financial needs within the district and what can be done about it.
On Tuesday, Smith said the purpose of Monday's committee-as-a-whole meeting was to "put everything out on the table" concerning the district's financial condition. The problem of failed revenue for the district is something he's talked about for months, and things aren't getting better, he said.
Smith said the primary problem is state funding, or rather the lack of it. Since 2008, PES has lost $2.7 million in general state aid and state grants. Not only is the state late in its payments, which is a problem in itself, but the amount received from the state when the payments are received is reduced from what the district has received in earlier years.
If things play out as it could on the state level, PES could lose another $240,000 in general state aid next year.
In addition to the problem of reduced state aid, local property tax revenue has also dropped, Smith said. Though the substantial cause of the drop for this year was the removal of Perry Memorial Hospital from the tax rolls, Smith said local property taxes have basically flat-lined for the last couple years, basically showing no growth other than in farmland.
As he told the school board at Monday's meeting, Smith said there have been other outstanding issues, like pending pension reform, the new health care law, and the PARCC test assessments, which also make it hard for the district to plan ahead.
In addition, special education continues to be a financial strain because of increasing mandates and a lack of reimbursements for those mandates, Smith said, adding another concern is continuing cuts to transportation funding from the state.
Several cost-saving measures have already been made in recent years. The number of administrators in the district has been cut in half since he began as principal. The Junior First program has been cut. Some certified and non-certified staff have not been replaced when they retired. There have been cuts in technology expenditures, text book purchases and testing costs.
Looking ahead to next year, Smith said he wants to have a planned approach to capture savings for the district. The board will need to look at building use and the transportation program. The board will need to consider replacing retiring teachers with less expensive new teachers or not replacing the retirees at all.
However, not replacing retiring teachers would result in fewer class sections and higher enrollments in each class. That situation, with fewer sections and larger class enrollments, is something that is coming to PES, he said.
The school board has some tough decisions ahead of it, Smith said.

Wainwright set to oppose Gonzalez in series opener
ST. LOUIS -- Adam Wainwright was a glorified spectator last fall, cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals from the bench as they rose from wild card to World Series champions.
It's a lot more fun being part of the action.
Every fan in in long-suffering Washington, D.C., anticipating the first postseason appearance for the nation's capital since 1933, has to feel that way, too.
Wainwright, a 14-game winner in his first year back from elbow reconstruction, successfully fought against restricting his innings and starts Sunday in the NL division series opener. The Nationals, who led the league with 97 wins despite sitting down Stephen Strasburg in early September after 159 1-3 innings, will go with 21-game winner Gio Gonzalez.
The Nationals have one of the youngest rosters in the majors and won 98 games as they overcame injuries to Jayson Werth, Ryan Zimmerman, Michael Morse and Ian Desmond. Davey Johnson is a seasoned hand, though, joining Billy Martin as the lone managers to win division titles with four franchises.

The Penmen improved to 6-3 on the season, while the Bears now stand at 6-4.
For Cardarelli, it marked a season-high as he drained four of his five three-point attempts and finished 5-for-8 from the field overall, while Sanders was 7-for-12 and also grabbed five rebounds.
Mike Stys of Hooksett and Aleksandar Dobrovic each added 10 points, while CJ Marriro dished out six assists.
Azel Prather, Jr. was the lone NYIT player in double figures as he totaled 12 points. Kayvon Roberts finished with eight points and 12 rebounds.

The Penmen eventually staged a 19-2 run capped by a Kostas Mantalvanos layup with 1:49 left before intermission to open a 21-point cushion, 41-20.

Lyndon State 69, Plymouth State 68: At Lyndonville, Vt., Kevin Eisenberg of Moultonborough and Alex Burt of Dover scored 18 and 15 points apiece for the Panthers, but Jose Fortunato's pair of free throws with 14 seconds left in regulation provided Lyndon State with its margin of victory. Plymouth's Petey Skevas (14 points) sank a three-point field goal with two seconds left to account for the final score.

Sorrell, who is sixth on the SNHU career scoring list with 1,207 points, registered her sixth double-double of the season with12 rebounds.
Florida International 61, Dartmouth 57: At Miami, Fla., Dartmouth squandered a seven-point, 32-25 halftime lead and fell to 1-8. Abbey Schmidt scored 13 points while Kamala Thompson and Milica Toskovic tallied 11 each for the Big Green.

Today's teachers are often challenged by the wide variety of student's ability levels and backgrounds in inclusive elementary classrooms. Many educators strive to differentiate instruction to address their students' individual interests, ability levels, and learning profiles. They attempt to adapt their content (what will be taught), process (how it will be taught), and the product (the assessment of the content through culminating projects). Teachers who differentiate instruction engage in curriculum and instruction which considers each student's learning strengths and needs in order to maximize the learning capacity of all the students (Tomlinson, 1999; Tomlinson & Eidson, 2003). This course will teach practical strategies for aspiring classroom teachers to differentiate lessons in order to meet the needs of all students which includes students with exceptional needs to students who are English Language Learners (ELL students). Some of the differentiated instruction strategies that will be taught will include: flexible grouping, RAFTS, WebQuests, anchor activities, tiered instruction, and learning contracts. The current special education legislation, utilizing the Individualized Education Plan (IEP), technology for differentiating, and techniques to make modifications in specific content area classes will be taught as well.

Lydia Ronnekamp, 90 - March 05, 2008
Lydia Clara Anna Schliebe Ronnekamp, 90, of Gothenburg died Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2008, at Hilltop Estates of Gothenburg.
Services were held Saturday, March 1, at the American Lutheran Church of Gothenburg with the Rev. Matthew Groenke and Lonna Grabenstien, PMA, officiating. Burial took place at the Gothenburg Cemetery.
Ronnekamp was born on Sept. 17, 1917, to Julius and Minna (Frentz) Schliebe at the family farm home near Columbia, SD.
She grew up attending a one-room country school house through eighth grade and then graduated from Columbia High School.
Her first job was working at a drug store and, after high school, she worked at the post office before meeting Vern John Ronnekamp, who was her sister's parochial school teacher.
On Nov. 27, 1938, she was united in marriage to Vern Ronnekamp at St. John's Lutheran Church in Columbia. To this union, four sons and a daughter were born. The couple began their life together in Amherst, CO, then moved to Hastings and McCook, until they settled in Gothenburg.
Ronnekamp and her husband co-managed the Frontier Truck Stop & Oasis Cafe for 13 years. She then went to work for Schriver's Market, where she worked for 30 years and retired when she was 78 years old.
She was a member of the American Lutheran Church in Gothenburg where she had been active. She also taught Sunday school and confirmation for a number of years, and was a member of the American Lutheran Quilters and the Prayer Circle.
?Ronnekamp's favorite hobby was baking and she enjoyed miniatures, playing pinochle, bridge and kings in the corner, according to family members. Her life revolved around her family and she was happiest when together sharing memories.
?She was preceded in death by: her husband, Vern; four brothers—Herb, John, Heinz and Kurt; a sister, Erica.
Survivors include: her four sons—Arlan (Tip) Ronnekamp and Bob Ronnekamp, all of Gothenburg, Curt (Carolyn) Ronnekamp of Towanda, IL, and David (Donna) Ronnekamp of Jacksonville, FL; her daughter, Denie (Bryan Nordin) Ronnekamp of Denver, CO; 10 grandchildren—Tracy (Barry), Kurt (Susan), Chad, Carmen, Andy (Tabbatha), Stephanie, Amber, Whitney, Geoffrey and Jayme; six great-grandchildren—Halie, Reilly, Cameron, Jacob, Colby and Zoey; sister, Ellie Poe of Sioux Falls, SD; sister-in-law, June Schliebe of Aberdeen, SD; numerous nephews, nieces and a multitude of friends.
Memorials are suggested to the American Lutheran Church.
Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.blase strauser.com. Arrangements have been placed in the care of Blase-Strauser Memorial Chapel of Gothenburg.

"You can totally score red-carpet-worthy hair at home—you just have to take care of it!" says Adir Abergel, who tends to Blake Lively's golden tresses. Abergel recommends using a deep-conditioning treatment once a week. "Rub a generous amount through hair before you go to sleep, and rinse it out in the morning," explains the celebrity ambassador for Frédéric Fekkai. "When you're constantly styling with a hot tool, the weekly TLC of a treatment will protect your hair from being damaged." To get Blake's coveted old-Hollywood waves, Abergel suggests using a round brush to blow out your hair, then putting Velcro rollers on the ends. Spritz on some hairspray before taking the rollers out, and rake your hands through the ends for an ultraglam look.
"Thick, voluminous lashes are so glam!" says makeup artist Fiona Stiles, who works with Selena Gomez and Chloë Grace Moretz. "I layer different mascaras. Each does a distinct job." For a lush look, prep lashes with an eyelash curler, as the weight of mascara can make lashes droop. "Then, push black eyeliner into the lash line. Try not to get any on the lid; focus on filling the space between the lashes," advises Stiles. "Using volumizing mascara, really work the brush into the lash line to build the product at the root of the lash for two coats. Follow with one coat of a lengthening formula."
"Celebrities love nail art because it's a nonpermanent way to make a statement," says manicurist Elle, who regularly decorates the fingers of Zooey Deschanel. Her top tip? Make sure your nails are completely dry before applying polish. "Wet nails are like a sponge, and polish won't adhere as well when wet," she notes. Finally, if your manicure chips, don't delay: "Take off color with remover as soon as you can. Every chip peels away a layer of your natural nail," explains Elle.
"There's a simple formula for achieving and maintaining a perfect complexion," says aesthetician Kate Somerville, a favorite of Lea Michele. "Wear SPF under makeup, drink eight to ten glasses of water a day, and avoid food with a lot of saturated fat." To get that pretty, L.A. glow, "look for an eoliator with fruit enzymes or glycolic or lactic acids for a deep removal of dead skin cells," advises Somerville. "Follow with a serum to add moisture back to skin. This process will make you have a natural radiance."

After a two month consultation period, the WIA was officially launched on 14th February 2013. Certainly an association that attempts to offer guidance and confidence to investors, who are all too often misled, or at worst defrauded by unscrupulous 'wine investment companies', should be a very welcome development. Sadly this new initiative has to date been a missed opportunity.
The cold calling – an unsolicited phone call – of potential investors is one of the main curses of alternative investments such as wine, carbon credits and land banking. Having followed dubious drinks investments since 1996, cold calling is the principal way that investors have been persuaded to buy either inappropriate wine investments, which in some instances have never existed. Quite rightly there is a widespread distrust of companies that use cold calls. I certainly would not consider buying anything from a cold caller. I get rid of cold callers with various degrees of politeness or abuse depending upon my mood.
Details here of a BBC Panoramic programme showing how cold calling rules are flouted. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18600525)
It is, thus, very disappointing that the WIA' code permits unsolicited cold calling. It has been suggested to me that permitting cold calls should not be 'a deal-breaker' with respect to cold calls. Rather that what really counts is important is having a code in place. This is not my view nor, much more importantly, the view of the UK's Financial Services Authority (FSA), which bans unsolicited cold calls for investments purposes. Under FSA Guidelines only cold calls can only be made to customers who are anticipating a call. See the FSA's one-minute guide to cold calling here: (http://www.fsa.gov.uk/smallfirms/resources/one_minute_guides/advice_sales/cold_calling.shtml)
'How do we define cold calling?
Cold calling is where a financial promotion is made during any dealings with a customer which the customer did not begin.
However customers can be approached if they expressly request it. Failing to tick a box to say that they do not want to be contacted, or relying on standard terms that you may contact them again is not sufficient to allow you to cold call a customer.
What are the specific rules for investment business?
Investment rules allow for three scenarios where cold calls could be made:
the promotion is to an existing customer who anticipates receiving a cold call;
the promotion relates to packaged products that do not contain higher volatility funds, or to life policies not connected to higher volatility funds; or
the promotion only relates to readily realisable securities (but not warrants) or generally marketable non-geared packaged products.
(Les 5 comment: for investment purposes a cold call can only be made to someone who is expecting such a call. Instances two and three are not relevant to wine investment)
Apart from the type of product being promoted, we also have rules about how the call must be conducted. Regardless of whether a call is a 'cold call' or expected by the customer, the caller must:
only make contact at an appropriate time of day;
identify themselves and the firm they represent at the start and make clear why they are calling;
ask whether the client would like to continue or terminate the call, ending the call if asked to do so; and
give a contact point to any client who they arrange an appointment with.
In contrast here is the WIA's rather different definition of a permitted investment cold call (the bold is my addition):
The Association defines a cold-contact as a telephone call (or other communication) made to a private individual where there has been no previous communication with that individual, and where the individual has not provided his telephone number and/or given prior permission for the telephone call. Private individuals are able to opt out of receiving cold-calls by registering with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). The Association will carry this advice on its own website, together with a link to the website of the TPS.
I am registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). Being registered with TPS certainly does not prevent me from receiving numerous cold calls, although of course many of these calls may originate from outside the UK.
Had the WIA banned its members from making cold calls they would have made a very clear statement. A position that would have been clear and easy to promote – we don't cold call. If you get a cold call from someone trying to sell you wine investments you will know that they are not a member of the WIA. As it now stands a cold caller may or may not be a member of the WIA. A confusing position for the old and vulnerable, who are especially at risk from cold calling.
Members of the WIA have told me that their strategy is to construct a big tent and that once they have a sizeable number of members 'we can tighten up the rules once we get everyone in'. I am not convinced that this is a strategy that will work. Permitting cold calls is likely to put off companies who do not approve cold calls from joining the WIA, while encouraging those who do use cold calls to join. Much better to have been clear from the outset that the new Wine Investment Association would ensure that its code was in-line with that of the FSA.
Indeed Albany Portfolio Management Ltd, one of the WIA's founders, does not use cold calls because they find them counterproductive and alienate potential customers. A pity they were unable to persuade the other three founding companies – Culver Street Trading, Provenance Fine Wines and Vin-ex – of the wisdom of their approach.
The WIA has also claimed that a ban on cold calling is unenforceable and that you 'cannot stop cold calling'. It is obvious that the WIA has no regulatory powers and that given modern communications it is impossible to prevent all cold calling but that shouldn't prevent an investment association taking a stand. After most of us disapprove of crimes like burglary and murder, even though we know there is no way we can stop them from continuing to happen.
The National Fraud Investigations Bureau has welcomed the creation of the WIA as reported in harpers here (http://www.harpers.co.uk/news/news-headlines/13486-wia-launches-wine-fraud-initiative):
Director of the NFIB, Det Supt Dave Clarke, said: « Fraudsters will always follow the money, with wine investment just the latest in a long line of investment opportunities that are being exploited and corrupted to the detriment of the industry.
« The NFIB sees an auditable framework of self regulation as a real and positive step towards maintaining and increasing consumer confidence, and assisting us to highlight those who do not operate to the necessary high standards. »
Although I understand why the police welcome organisations that attempt to provide self-regulation in alternative investments not covered by the UK Financial Authorities, in this instance the WIA has set the bar too low and, in allowing cold calling' they have not adopted 'the necessary high standards' cited by Det Supt Clarke.
The WIA code concludes thus: 'in the course of its commercial activity no Member shall act permit any action to be carried out on its behalf, which, in any way:' 'brings, or may bring, the Association into disrepute'.
Permitting cold calling will bring the WIA into 'disrepute'.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
The family Solenostomidae includes a single genus (Solenostomus) with four or five currently recognized species: S. paradoxus, S. armatus, S. cyanopterus, S. halimeda, and possibly S. leptosoma (Orr et al. 2002; Nelson 2006). The distribution of the genus ranges from the Red Sea and South Africa east to the Maldives, Indonesia, China, southern Japan, Papua New Guinea, and the Marshall Islands and Fiji. Ghost pipefishes are often associated with the marine plant Halophila or the seaweeds Cystoseira or Sargassum and are believed to be limited to depths between ~30 to 40 m, although pairs of S. cyanopterus have been reported from just 3 m. Ghost pipefish look like truncated true pipefish. They have laterally compressed bodies, two separate dorsal fins, a large anal fin that is similar in shape to the second dorsal fin, and a large ventral fin. The head resembles that of true pipefishes, but in Solenostomus the head represents over a third of the total body length, whereas in syngnathid pipefishes the head accounts for at most an eighth of total length. Solenostomids lack scales, but instead develop a dermal skeleton of plates. In females, the ventral fin is enlarged and continuous with the ventral body surface to form a pouch or brood sac for holding eggs (possibly as many as 350). (Fishelson 1966; Orr and Fritzsche 1993; Wetzel and Wourms 1995 and references therein; Orr et al. 2002)
External skin brooding has evolved independently in several groups of fishes. Among these, Solenostomus and certain South American catfishes share the development of cotylephores, which are special sites for the attachment of developing embryos (within the fused pelvic fins of Solenostomus and on the ventral surface of Platystacus catfishes and other aspredinid cattfishes of the tribe Aspredini). Cotylephores are transient outgrowths of tissue that occur only on brooding fish. Wetzel et al. (1997) analyze this striking example of convergent evolution.
Ghost pipefishes are ambush predators. At birth, juveniles must immediately find suitable shelter to begin feeding and hide from predators. (Werzel and Wourms 1995)
The Robust Ghost Pipefish (Solenostomus cyanopterus) has a relatively deep snout; a deep, short caudal peduncle, with a mode of eight caudal peduncle plates; an absence of abdominal spinules; and males with premaxillary spines. It is distributed from South Africa and the Red Sea to the Maldives, Indonesia, southern Japan, Guam, New Guinea, Australia, and Fiji. Orr and Fritzsche (1993) and Orr et al. (2002) should be consulted for detailed descriptions of the morphology and geographic distributions of the recognized ghost pipefish species.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said Wednesday he'll begin hearings in two weeks on gun control proposals.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said he doesn't know if an assault weapons ban can pass the Senate but he said there are some measures that can, such as improved background checks.
"There are some who say nothing will pass. I disagree with that," Leahy told students at Georgetown University Law Center. "What I'm interested in is what we can get."
Leahy spoke as President Barack Obama prepared to unveil sweeping proposals to curb gun violence a month after the slaughter in Newtown, Conn., of 20 young students and six adults. Obama is proposing reinstating a ban on assault weapons, limiting ammunition magazines to 10 rounds, tightening background checks, and cracking down on gun trafficking, among other steps.
Leahy said his committee would consider Obama's proposals but he declined to commit to any timetable for voting on a bill.
Leahy, a gun owner, said he envisions a series of hearings examining violence in popular media and how to keep guns safe, among other topics.
His plan could point to a slower process in Congress than gun control advocates would like. The White House sees a need for fast action before memories of Newtown fade. Leahy disputed any suggestion that his approach would stand in the way of quick movement.
"I think it is an urgent situation and that's why the first hearings held by anybody, House or Senate, is going to be by me," he said.
Leahy said he thought Congress could act to close the "gun show loophole" that allows sales by private sellers at gun shows and elsewhere — including over the Internet — to proceed without background checks. Advocates say some 40 percent or more of gun sales are completed in that fashion.
But Leahy said "I don't know" when asked whether a new assault weapons ban could pass the Senate.

Auburn – The Gus Malzahn era started Friday as the Auburn Tigers held their first practice session of the 2013 preseason. The Tigers worked two hours and 30 minutes in a late afternoon session at the Auburn Athletics Complex Practice Fields.
"It was really great to be out there on the practice field with our players," said first-year head coach Gus Malzahn about the opening practice. "The coaches were extremely excited and our players were too. They've worked extremely hard to get to this point and it was a good atmosphere."
"We divided up the first part of practice with the emphasis on the older guys. We really let them get out there and show the younger guys the pace and expectations."
Auburn returns to the practice field Saturday afternoon. The Tigers' season opener is Saturday, August 31, at Jordan-Hare Stadium versus Washington State. That game has a 6 p.m. Central kickoff.

I really liked this book because it had a mystery. Also, one of the characters, Dan, is like me. Dan is silly, and he's good at solving codes and that is like me. I don't think you could ever find a book like this, unless you're looking at the other nine books in this series.I think this a fun book to read because it is exciting. My favorite part was when they went into the Amber Room and they found a bunch of files about their parents.
I would recommend this book to middle-school readers. I'm only a 4th grader, so I like reading this book with my mom. It's fine for a 3rd grader, but it could just get a little tricky. Well, I hope you read this book.

Cameron Maybin was standing in front of a full length mirror in his hotel room in Phoenix earlier this week when he began practicing his swing.
He took a look at himself using the high leg kick.
Then he looked at himself with his feet planted on the ground.
"What I noticed was how much my head was moving with the leg kick," said Maybin. "Up and down. Maybe too much for me to see the pitch as good as I needed."
It was not the first time that Cameron had thought about his leg kick. The center fielder and Padres batting coaches Phil Plantier and Alonzo Powell had discussed Maybin's approach and stance since spring training.
But Maybin has always had a fall-back position that got him out of trouble.
"I am blessed by a tremendous amount of athletic ability," said Maybin.
That athletic ability had always bailed Maybin out in the past. But when the 25-year-old's batting average dipped below .200 last week, he decided to study some options.
"I haven't always used a leg kick," he said. "I didn't have it at the start of the season. Then I did. I tried changing things. I went back and forth. But it wasn't until I was standing in front of that mirror and saw my head bouncing that I really gave it much thought.
"I started thinking about the ways I had changed over the years. In 2007, my stance was spread out. I've gone heel up and heel down. When I first got here, I was standing straight up. I'm probably better not moving as much as I was . . . that 'keep it simple, stupid' approach."
Maybin went 4-for-13 with a double and a homer in three games in Arizona and singled in his first at-bat Thursday night. The extra-base hits Monday were Maybin's first two since he homered back on June 8.
Akerfelds honored
Padres bullpen coach Darrell Akerfelds, who died of pancreatic cancer June 24, was memorialized Thursday night with a video tribute during pregame ceremonies.
Tributes from Padres managers Bud Black and Bruce Bochy as well as current and former Padres players and coach were shown on the video board.
The club announced that the Padres Foundation was donating $48,000 in Akerfelds' memory to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (pancan.com). Akerfelds wore No. 48.
The club also announced a plaque would be added to the Padres bullpen at Petco Park in Akerfeld's honor. The team will be wearing "48" patches for the remainder of the season.
Akerfelds, 50, the longest tenured Padres coach, battled pancreatic cancer for 19 months before passing away. Services for Akerfelds will be held Monday in Littleton, Colo.
Padres Notes
--Black said the Padres are undecided about who will start Sunday's final game before the All-Star break. The options are long reliever Ross Ohlendorf or starter Jason Marquis, who would be working on three days rest for the seventh time in his career.
--Micah Owings isn't calling it a career change, but the pitcher is getting ready to play first, left and possibly DH for the rest of the season with Triple-A Tucson. Black said Owings might not pitch again this season due to the right forearm strain that has had him on the disabled list since April 26. The 29-year-old Owings is a career .283 hitter in the major leagues with nine homers and 35 RBI in 205 at-bats.
--Right-handed starter Anthony Bass, who has been on the disabled since June 24 with shoulder inflammation, is on a throwing program although no date has been set for a possible return.
--Meanwhile, right-hander Joe Wieland has been shut down a second time in his rehab as soreness returned to his elbow while working from the mound. He was in San Diego to have the injury reviewed. Wieland has been out since May 7.
--Needing a fresh arm in the bullpen, the Padres recalled right-handed reliever Miles Mikolas from Triple-A Tucson and optioned Nick Vincent to the T-Padres. Mikolas was 1-1 with a 3.29 ERA in 13 appearances with the Padres earlier this season. Vincent, a Ramona High product, allowed runs in three of his four outings.

How would you go about selling your business without a business broker?
If you assume you pay 6% for a business broker, then if you get more than 7% more by going through a broker, you're better off. Just make sure you're working with a professional. Get references of past deals, happy sellers, and call them. Check the broker out well.
That's just my opinion.

A screenshot of the PSA
Testicular cancer is the most common solid cancer in men between the ages of 15 and 35. To promote awareness about the disease and the importance of self-exams, the MGH and CBS Cares are collaborating on a fun, informative public service announcement (PSA). The MGH has worked with CBS Cares on similar health campaigns since 2005, when Matthew Margo, CBS Cares executive producer, and Isaac Schiff, MD, chief of MGH Vincent Obstetrics and Gynecology, first partnered on a PSA about menopause.
In this latest PSA, Chris Beetem, a former cast member of the soap opera "One Life to Live," encourages male viewers to show their loved ones they care this Valentine's Day by performing a testicular self-exam to check for any abnormalities. The announcement prompts the audience to visit the CBS Cares website, which features an essay about testicular cancer and self-examination techniques by Adam S. Feldman, MD, MPH, of the MGH Department of Urology.
The PSA first aired Jan. 16 during "60 Minutes." Since then, Margo estimates that between 60 and 70 million viewers have seen it. "Credibility is critical to the success of our campaign, and with the MGH's support, we were able to make sure the PSA is accurate and effective," says Margo. "All of our efforts are geared toward getting viewers to visit the website and read Dr. Feldman's essay and the important information it offers."
"Early diagnosis and prompt treatment remain critical," advises Feldman in the essay. "For this reason I urge all men to perform regular monthly self-testicular exams and if you feel anything abnormal, see your physician right away. There is no reason to be embarrassed or ashamed about something you feel. Your role in identifying these tumors early is invaluable!"
Feldman also has provided an essay about prostate cancer for CBS Cares' website.
