Study: 1/3 US students clueless about civics
Fewer than half of US eighth-graders knew the purpose of the Bill of Rights on the most recent national civics exam, and one in 10 demonstrated acceptable knowledge of the checks and balances between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, according to test results released yesterday.
Three-quarters of high school seniors who took the National Assessment of Educational Progress were unable to identify the effect of foreign policy on other nations or name a power granted to Congress.
The results "confirm that we have a crisis on our hands when it comes to civics education,'' said Sandra Day O'Connor, a former Supreme Court justice who last year founded icivics.org, a nonprofit group that teaches civics through Web-based games.
The Department of Education administered the tests to 27,000 fourth-, eighth-, and 12th-grade students last year.
Average fourth-grade scores on the test's 300-point scale rose slightly since the exam was last administered, in 2006, to 157 from 154. Average eighth-grade scores were virtually unchanged at 151. Scores of high school seniors — who are either eligible to vote or about to be — dropped to 148 from 151.
"The results confirm an alarming and continuing trend that civics in America is in decline,'' said Charles N. Quigley, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Civic Education.
One bright spot: Hispanic students, a growing proportion of the country's population and student body, narrowed the gap between their scores and those of non-Hispanic white students. On average, Hispanic eighth-graders scored 137 and non-Hispanic whites 160. That 23-point gap was down from 29 in 2006.
British Government to crackdown on the 'Mickey Mouse' High School courses introduced by the Labour Party
Hundreds of worthless qualifications face the axe under a Government shake-up of vocational education. Ministers believe too many 'Mickey Mouse' courses are failing teenagers as they do not lead to higher education or stable jobs.
In a major crackdown, ministers are expected to implement the findings of a review which found that up to a third of the non-academic GCSE courses introduced under Labour were pointless. Many of these 'soft' courses will be banned from counting towards schools' GCSE league table positions, while others will fail to be accredited in the first place.
The Government is set to urge regulator Ofqual to take a tougher stance and oversee a fall in the number of poor-quality, non-academic courses being accredited in schools and colleges. This will free more funding for work-based tuition, including apprenticeships.
The Government will announce plans to compile detailed guidance about which vocational qualifications will be allowed to count in school league tables. Many will no longer contribute towards the traditional five A* to C measure of GCSE performance – leading to their demise as schools start to shun them.
The overhaul comes amid an astonishing 3,800 per cent increase in uptake of non-academic GCSE-equivalent courses under Labour. Numbers soared to 575,000 last year – from just 15,000 in 2005.
This helped fuel a damaging collapse in the number of children taking academic courses, and enabled schools to 'play the system' by pushing pupils on to 'soft' courses that helped boost league rankings.
An independent review in March found up to a third of the soft, non-academic courses introduced under Labour and taken by up to 400,000 16 to 19-year-olds were pointless. They fail to lead directly to a job or other, more advanced courses at college or university, the report said.
One, the level two Certificate in Personal Effectiveness, worth a GCSE, was taken by 10,843 pupils last year. A sample paper asks students to 'find out what benefits you are entitled to if you are unemployed'. It also asks students to 'show you can obtain information on a topic you are interested in' using telephones, the internet, radio or TV and newspapers.
Another, among the most popular highlighted in the report included a Certificate in Preparation for Working Life, worth half a GCSE and taken by almost 30,000 young people last year. Material includes a compulsory section on 'hazard identification at home, on the roads and at work', such as 'storage, falling/ladders and the use of energy'. Students are also taught about emotions people experience including 'happiness, grief and envy'.
Professor Alison Wolfe of King's College London, who led the review, said the 'depth and breadth' of vocational courses as well as assessment arrangements should be considered when deciding should continue to contribute to Key Stage Four league tables.
Ofqual should also be 'strongly encouraged to expand and improve the ways in which it regulates awarding bodies and examines standards in vocational education'.
Education Secretary Michael Gove is expected to endorse Professor Wolfe's findings. A Coalition source said: 'Under Labour millions of children were pushed into dead end qualifications. 'The Wolfe Review gives us a blueprint for learning from the most successful countries and putting Labour's failure behind us.'
The good ol' generous taxpayer again
Incredible salaries of Australian university bosses
THE salary of University of Queensland vice-chancellor Paul Greenfield soared to $1,069,999 this week after he won a staggering $80,000 payrise. The rise alone is more than the Australian average wage of $66,200 and ahead of salaries paid to lecturers and tutors. Several other Queensland vice-chancellors are edging closer to the million-dollar mark, according to reports tabled in Parliament.
Are they worth it? While acknowledging their high-powered, high-stress jobs, many will conclude the salaries are excessive.
There is no doubt that university boffins who make it to the top in Australia climb aboard the ultimate gravy train. Perks include free cars and expense accounts and trips to exotic locations for "research" and important seminars and meetings.
University leaders become the chief executives of vast "companies". Unlike real-world companies, however, universities are topped up each year with billions in federal funding.
Peter Coaldrake, vice-chancellor of Queensland University of Technology, got a pay rise of $50,000, taking his salary to $759,999. Ian O'Connor, vice-chancellor of Griffith University, got a pay rise of $75,000, taking his salary to $714,999.
However, the academic world remains puzzled by the generous salaries paid to the heads of much smaller universities. The remuneration of Greg Hill, vice-chancellor of the University of Sunshine Coast, is believed to be on $489,999, with rises in the pipeline set to take his salary next year to $509,000. Hill succeeded vice-chancellor Paul Thomas, who left with a payout including superannuation of $859,999. Hill is also president of the university whose student numbers have jumped 15 per cent to 7276 since 2006.
In a note in the annual report Hill said: "Despite the rapid growth in student numbers the quality of learning and teaching has remained high. The university was the top-ranked public university in Queensland for teaching quality and graduate satisfaction in the most recent Good Universities Guide." He said the Australian Learning and Teaching Council awarded university staff six citations for excellence.
The remuneration of Scott Bowman, vice-chancellor of Central Queensland University, was listed as $479,999. The university has 12,733 full and part-time students. More than 8000 of them are international students. Sandra Harding, vice-chancellor of James Cook University, won a $60,000 pay rise, taking her salary to a high of $559,999. James Cook has 18,971 students.
By comparison, the University of Queensland has 44,000 full-time and part-time students including 10,465 international students. QUT has 40,563 enrolments, including 6000 from overseas and Griffith University said it has 43,000 students with 9007 from overseas.
A professor told me vice-chancellors of smaller universities had to be paid more to attract them to regional cities. Their pay had to compensate for a loss of prestige in accepting a job at a university of lower standing, he said.
Professor Bill Lovegrove, vice-chancellor at the University of Southern Queensland, accepted a more modest pay rise of $20,000, taking his salary to $509,999. USQ has 26,069 students, nearly 20,000 of them external or online students.
And salaries look set to soar as student numbers rise. Indeed, I was told some universities had already approved a fresh round of pay rises for their vice-chancellors for next year. The top 10 executives at the University of Queensland now earn in excess of $300,000 each. So do the top 10 at Griffith. The top seven executives at QUT earn $300,000 or better.
So why are vice-chancellors and executives paid like the CEOs of big companies?
No doubt universities have become big companies. International education is Australia's third-largest export industry, generating $18 billion in exports in 2009, the Australian Technology Network Universities reported. That amount is 50 per cent larger than tourism-related travel, and has grown by 94 per cent since 2004, according to Greenfield. Higher education generates about $9.3 billion or 57 per cent of this export income, he told the Canberra Press Club this week.
Melbourne University vice-chancellor Glyn Davis said recently that Melbourne's seven universities were the city's biggest employers and had been the largest contributor to state economic development during the past 25 years.
Greenfield said higher education's contribution to economic prosperity was rarely discussed, even though it was the largest service export industry in Australia. He said a total of 480,000 undergraduate places were being funded in 2011, which is 50,000 students more than in 2009. "Encouragingly offers to students from low socio-economic backgrounds have increased faster than for other groups."
The rise of an academic fat cat class comes at a time when Australia's 40,000 academics such as lecturers and tutors believe they are underpaid. It is estimated that an additional 40,000 academic staff will be needed in the next two decades to reduce student staff ratios from an average of 20:1 to 15:1. In addition, thousands of academics will be required to replace those who retire.
A dissenting professor told me there was no evidence academic workers were being underpaid. She pointed to an international comparison of academic salaries by Laura E. Rumbley and colleagues at Boston College's Centre for International Higher Education which found Australian wages for entry-level academic positions are the third highest in the world after Canada and the US.
They are more than three times those in India and more than five times those in China. Australian wages for senior academics are the fourth highest in the world.

What to Do When Jesus is Hungry: A Practical Guide to the Works of Mercy
Available on backorder
"The works of mercy provide us with the opportunity to let every person know he is a child of God and a brother in Christ. From the works of mercy will emerge a community of love and peace centered on Christ."
–Fr. Andrew Apostoli
According to the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus will judge us on the basis of whether or not we fed him when he was hungry, gave him drink when he was thirsty, welcomed him when he was a stranger, clothed him when he was naked, and visited him when he was sick or in prison. What we have done for others, he will tell us, we have done for him.
The Catholic Church has traditionally called these six acts of kindness-along with a seventh, burying the dead — the "Corporal Works of Mercy." In this down-to-earth yet inspiring guide, Father Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R., explains the Corporal Works of Mercy and illustrates multiple ways we can do them in our modern everyday life.
Father Apostoli also outlines the lesser-known but equally important "Spiritual Works of Mercy": counseling the doubtful, teaching the ignorant, admonishing the sinner, consoling the afflicted, forgiving offenses, bearing wrongs patiently, and praying for the living and the dead. And he offers many creative ways these too can be made part of our lives.
As a founding member of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, Father Apostoli knows firsthand about the challenges and rewards of caring for those in physical or spiritual need. His order is dedicated to the works of mercy, and Father Apostoli brings to his subject a great wealth of spiritual and practical wisdom gained from personal experience.
Fr. Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R., is a widely known and loved teacher and retreat master. A frequent presence on EWTN television, he is an expert on Our Lady of Fatima and Archbishop Fulton Sheen. He is the author of numerous articles and books, including Fatima for Today: The Urgent Marian Message of Hope (Ignatius, 2010).

That's a summary of what Chris Jones says in the Tribune.
The play in question is A True Story of the Johnstown Flood, which is running at the Goodman Theatre and is directed by Goodman artistic director Robert Falls. Chris Jones wasn't too thrilled with the production in his first review. None of the critics were enthusiastic about the show.
But in this piece, Jones says:
I think "A True History of the Johnstown Flood," which deals with the horrific events of 1889 when a man-made lake washed away an entire town, has some significant flaws. But I also think some of the people who don't like this play haven't understood it. It's not easy to understand. And as one of my shrewder correspondents observed, you have to sleep on it a bit. And now that I've stared at the ceiling for a few nights, well … I suggest you go and see what all the fuss is about. I'm not sure I made that clear enough in my review.
My immediate question from this is how is the average theatergoer in Chicago supposed to understand this play if the mighty Chris Jones says that "It's not easy to understand" and that he had to reflect on the show? Yes, I like it if the theater challenges people's minds, but if the most influential, most read and best known theater critic in Chicago has a hard time understanding a show that either says something about the play or about the critic.
I have other problems with what Jones wrote, like that he says that the Goodman is "our [Chicago's] flagship theater" and that "Falls is Chicago's most essential director. It is inconceivable that this town would be without his work."
Wait? The Goodman is Chicago's flagship theater? Not that theater on the North Side that uses mostly Chicago actors, has Tracy Letts and many others in their ensemble and doesn't open plays intending to transfer to Broadway? You know, Steppenwolf?
And Robert Falls is Chicago's most essential director?! Not Amy Morton, Charles Newell, David Cromer, Mary Zimmerman, Sean Graney or Nathan Allen, but Robert Falls? (p.s., that was a shortlist of Chicago directors that are probably more essential that Falls).
I also find it interesting that he discusses the accusations of historical inaccuracy in a work of fiction. The only one that I'm immediately aware of is from Chicago Magazine (which is part of the Tribune Company), where it is discussed that an actor uses a zipper on his pants when the zipper wasn't in existence at the time. I don't care that it's a work of fiction; that's an error that a costume designer or a dramaturge, if it was in the stage directions, should have taken care of beforehand.
But ultimately my annoyance goes back to my original point: a critic should not need to write about a play a second time to clarify his point. And when clarifying a point, it is insulting to your readers and to your colleagues to say that they didn't enjoy a play because they didn't understand it. It is also baffling to say that a play is difficult to comprehend, that the critic had to think harder on it, and then suggest it.

This jelly cake is pretty and delicious – simple to make and easy to eat, leaving a really fresh taste in your mouth afterwards. What I like best about it is that it can be a really delightful addition to the menu for a child's birthday party. Jelly that everyone can eat! No artificial colours, no chemical flavours, no animal products, no sugar.
It's a dream come true for me, and with a five-year-old's birthday party to plan in a few weeks I know I'll be making this again. Today was a tester for my daughter's actual birthday. Success! It's just real fruit, juice and water with a swoosh of maple syrup. It is set with agar agar powder, which I found in a health food store. It is a bit expensive but definitely worth it for such a special treat. The powder keeps too, but mine is quickly getting used up as I experiment with lots of fun jellies!
Vegan Fruit Jelly Cake
2 cups apple juice
3 cups water
4 heaped tsp agar agar powder
swoosh of maple syrup
LOTS of chopped fresh fruit
Chop up your fruit first and arrange it in your dish. I used two glass Pyrex dishes and filled the bottom of each with chopped fruit to about an inch and a half depth. Consider how best to slice your fruit: for example strawberries are prettiest when sliced lengthways where as a cross-section of a kiwi displays a beautiful mandala on the inside. Plop smaller fruits like blueberries and raspberries in whole. Slice grapes in half (they tend to fall out when cut!)
Use one colour fruit or random fruit salad or to make a rainbow jelly cake then try this combination:
red: strawberries/ raspberries
orange: mango/pawpaw
Yellow: pineapple/banana
green: kiwi fruit/grapes
blue: blueberries
purple: mulberries/blackberries/dark grapes
Next, put 4 heaped tsp of agar agar powder into a jar and mix with some water. Allow this to soak while you start to bring your apple juice and water to a boil. Stir constantly and when it is boiling then reduce the heat, add the soaked agar powder and a swoosh of maple syrup then continue to cook, stirring, for another 10 minutes. I think this cooking process is what makes or breaks the agar jelly – if it isn't cooked long enough it doesn't set firm.
Take juice/water/agar mixture away from the heat and allow to cool then pour over the arranged fruit. Cover the containers lightly and allow to cool. The mixture should set to a firm jelly at room temperature. It can also be chilled in the fridge. When set, run a knife around the edge of the dish and gently ease the jelly away. Turn the dish upside down and turn the jelly out. You can then slice it into bars. I stacked mine up like a cake and displayed it with flowers and mint from my garden. For individual serves you could set it into glasses, or little plastic containers. I set some into a plastic container with a lid for a school morning tea treat.
Variations: I have made this jelly without the juice but with a bit of rosewater essence – it smelled so pretty! I put edible flowers from my garden inside and it was so delightful. Two out of three children were suspicious of eating flowers so this one wasn't popular. Will have to start adding flowers to our salads again so that I can make fruit and flower jelly again! I'd also like to try it with coconut milk …white jelly and red fruit – wouldn't that make a lovely valentines day treat?

Matt Kemp had two hits and his third-inning infield single extended his hitting streak to 14 straight games. Juan Pierre added two hits in the Dodgers' fifth win in their last seven games.
Nomar Garciaparra left in the sixth with left knee irritation.
Wil Nieves had two of the five hits for the Nationals, losers of six in a row.
Losing pitcher Jason Bergmann (1-8) allowed two earned runs and six hits in six innings.

The Season of the Spirit
The Book of Acts show us how to get ready for Pentecost
Fifty days. That's only 14 percent of one year. One and three-quarters of a month. Just over one-half of a season like spring or summer. That's how long the Easter season is. That's how much time we have between Easter, when we celebrate Jesus' resurrection, and Pentecost, when we are invited to receive a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
That's not a lot of time. So it's a good thing that we will spend the next fifty days reading through the Acts of the Apostles...

Great learning can only happen with great content. But, how that content is written, really matters! We love this thought: Great writing equals great learning!
We got inspired by this article from The Association for Talent Development:
In the current landscape of compressed language—text messaging replacing emails, emojis replacing text messages—it has become a guessing game to navigate the minefield of contemporary communication styles. In instructional design and training delivery, our ability to communicate effectively and efficiently is imperative to ensuring our learners walk away with new skills. — Carrie Addington
You know that if you want your content to make a lasting impact, you have to deliver it in the right platform in a variety of mediums. That's what modern learning is all about. But, before that can even happen, you have to make sure the quality of the content and the way it is written has to be right. So, what considerations should you think about when writing your content?
What types of language and writing will my team best absorb?
Am I speaking their language based on their understanding of the concepts I want to communicate?
Am I being consistent in my writing?
Am I being clear in my writing?
Once your writing is clear and content is ready to go, it's time to find the best way to communicate it. You can learn more how on how to do just that right here.

Molten Chocolate Cake with Godiva Hot Fudge Sauce
Makes 6 servings
Chocolate, how we adore thee.
1 pound bittersweet chocolate
1 pound butter
8 whole eggs
8 yolks
3⁄4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
8 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
Godiva Hot Fudge Sauce
1⁄2 cup heavy cream
1⁄3 cup chocolate liquor
1⁄2 cup sugar
1⁄2 teaspoon fine salt
1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 to 5 cups Godiva dark chocolate chips
3 1⁄2 tablespoons butter
Thom's Tips: In my kitchen, I don't have a fancy double boiler. Instead, I use the homemade version. First, I place a large pot on the stove and fill about 2⁄3 of it with boiling water. Then, I take a smaller soup pot with a long handle and float it on the boiling water in the larger pot. The ingredients, like chocolate, that I don't want to scorch with direct heat, go in the soup pot and are gently heated with the boiling water.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.Gently melt chocolate and butter together in double boiler over medium heat. Beat together the whole eggs, yolks, sugar and vanilla. Add the flour and salt. Now beat the melted chocolate and butter with the eggs and sugar. Place in small buttered molds and bake for 7 minutes.
Godiva Hot Fudge Sauce:
In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, chocolate liquor, sugar, salt and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil. Slowly stir in the chocolate and butter until smooth.
Allow cakes to cool enough to remove molds. Ladle fudge sauce over cakes.
Wine Pairing:
Mia's Playground—Old Vine Zinfandel
Aris's Wine Notes: Dark purple in color, this old-vine Zinfandel has a nose layered with jammy fruit, white pepper, licorice and vanilla. Old Vine Zin is one of the few table wines that can do dual service with dessert. The super-ripe, jammy fruit combine with soft tannins and high alcohol to give the wine a sense of sweetness and port-like richness that goes quite well with chocolate.

Five Downfalls of Property Investment
1. Limited to one property
Most buy-to-let investors will spend a long time saving-up to buy a sole property, or maybe even a flat. With all their eggs in one proverbial basket, comes the danger that the property could be out of service for a while due to repair work needed. Even worse, the neighbourhood could take a turn for the worst resulting in rental rates dropping. Yielders makes it easier to spread your risk, as you can invest across multiple properties with our platform. We also only use pre-funded assets, so they already meet legal landlord requirements and don't require any immediate remedial work.
2. Problem Tenants
One of the biggest stresses in being a landlord is worrying how long your tenants will stay, where the next tenants are coming from and most worryingly, how long will you be out of pocket whilst in your search for the next tenant. Problem tenants can also cause damage to your property, default on rental payments or leave without any notice. Yielders provide a worry-free lettings management service with all the properties having pre-arranged tenants, so you can start earning almost immediately from the moment you invest.
3. Doing your research
When investing your savings into a property, you need to make sure you are investing in an area that is right for you and has the potential to generate the maximum returns. Often, investors stick to what they know and invest locally, and that means they are not getting the best returns on offer through property investment. Yielders has a team that has been involved with property investment for decades, who identify assets that have the potential to yield the best returns available.
4. When to sell, and early exits
We know that sometimes the savings that people invested are needed elsewhere. Property investment usually means it takes time to release these funds, but Yielders has a secondary market where shares can be sold at a fair market value, giving investors that peace of mind that there is always an exit available.
5. Stress and uncertainty
Buying your first home is considerably stressful but many buy-to-let landlords would argue that purchasing your first buy-to-let property is more stressful. One small thing missed can mean that your investment might not perform the way you want it, so for most, it's probably more hassle than it's worth. At Yielders, we keep you informed every step of the way through a secure and online platform, that works across mobile devices and anywhere in the world that has an internet connection. We also take care of the tenants, legal issues and registration, all for a management fee that is smaller in comparison to normal estate agents. Our platform is directly regulated by the FCA and investors have the added peace of mind that the assets are proportionally owned, through shares in a holding company, by only the investors. This means there is no mortgage and no risk of the property being taken away by a financial institution.

Hello everyone,
I got a free spotify premium trial for a month about and that one is finished now, but my dad has bought me at that same time premium for a year. I do not know how to fix my premium now, because my account is on free again. I have a mail from spotify with the confirmation of the payment. How can I put the account on premium again? Spotify is on my laptop (windows) and on my phone (android).
Thank you very much.
Hi there,
If your Premium Payment did successfully go through and your Status is showing as free, it's possible that your dad may have activated it on another account.
If it's the case you can learn how to find it here.
Thanks :)

This article was sent to me by Dr Aubrey Blumsohn over at Scientific Misconduct
It shows clearly that GSK ... or then known as SmithKline have quite a habit of hiding data.
The article appeared in the New York Times in 27 February 1985.
The following is just a summary but it speaks volumes of the kind of people we are dealing with.
Federal District Judge Edward Cahn ordered SmithKline Beckman Corp topay $100,000 to a Child Abuse Program as a penalty for withholding word of dangerous side effects of a drug, Selacryn, designed to control blood pressure. Three physicians who were working for SmithKline in 1979 (when the data were withheld) were sentenced to five years' probation and ordered to perform 200 hours of public service in response to their pleas of no contest.
The firm had been charged with false labeling and with failing to file promptly evidence of the side effects. However, the judge is happy with his sentence because it is three times larger than what hecould have imposed as a fine ($34,000). The company does not argue with the
Further research shows even more. I found this article from the NY TImes 1984
Published: December 14, 1984
The SmithKline Bekman Corporation has pleaded guilty and two of its medical officials have pleaded no contest to charges of failing to report to the Food and Drug Administration the lethal side effects of the blood-pressure drug Selacryn.
In June the Philadelphia-based pharmaceutical giant and the three officers were charged with 14 counts of failing to file reports with the drug agency of adverse reactions to Selacryn and 20 counts of falsely labeling the drug with a statement that there was no known cause-and-effect relationship between Selacryn and liver damage.
Doctors across the country have reported 36 deaths and at least 500 severe cases of liver and kidney damage linked to Selacryn.
Two top officials of SmithKline's medical affairs department, Dr. Ralph M. Myerson of Merion, Pa., and Dr. Philip J. Tannenbaum of Broomall, and Dr. Theodore Selby of Haverford, a former official, pleaded no contest Wednesday in Federal District Court here to 14 counts of failing to file reports. The Government indicated it would drop charges against a fourth company official, Dr. Thomas G. Davis. Company's Guilty Plea
The company pleaded guilty to all 34 charges filed this summer.
Judge Edward Cahn, who heard the pleas at a two-hour hearing, set no date for sentencing.
J.Peter Smith, an assistant United States attorney, said part of the plea- bargain agreement was that the Government would make no recommendation on sentences.
Donald J. Goldberg, Dr. Selby's attorney, said the individual defendants would withdraw no-contest pleas and go to trial if Judge Cahn decided their sentences would include jail time.
SmithKline faces up to $34,000 in fines, and the individual doctors could receive up to 14 years in jail and $14,000 in fines. But Judge Cahn said community service could be part of whatever sentence he would impose.
The defendants were charged with failure to report to the drug agency within 15 days any unusual adverse effects of a drug.
Selacryn was developed 15 years ago by Anphar Laboratories, a subsidiary of Albert Rolland S. A., a French pharmaceutical company. In 1973, SmithKline obtained a license to develop and sell the drug in the United States.
Drug Won Quick Approval
The drug was introduced on May 2, 1979, after an unusually speedy review by the F.D.A. Typically the agency's approval of new drugs follows clinical tests on up to 1,500 patients. But in April 1979, after Selacryn had been tested on 533 patients, officials of the agency concluded that no further tests were required.
That same month, SmithKline and the three physician-defendants received reports from Anphar Laboratories that Selacryn had damaged patients' livers. The information was translated from French to English at SmithKline headquarters in Philadelphia in May 1979.
The information was never reported to the drug agency but ''dropped through the cracks,'' Mr. Goldberg told Judge Cahn Wednesday. ''There was a very human error here, and there was damage that resulted from it.''
The company and the drug agency removed Selacryn, which was sold from May 1979 to January 1980, from the market after the Federal agency learned of deaths among its users.
Jeremy Heymsfeld, a SmithKline spokesman in Philadelphia, said the company was now involved in 13 outstanding lawsuits involving the drug and had settled numerous other legal cases.
Dr. Sidney Wolfe, executive director of the Public Citizen Health Research Group, founded by Ralph Nader, said SmithKline had already paid $100,000 to $500,000 in out-of-court settlements in numerous cases.
Any High Court Judges reading this?
If a person has a history of murder he/she is locked up.
If a food company has a history of manufacturing food that makes people violently ill, they are closed down.
If a drugs giant have a history of hiding data thus causing death among patients - they are left to their own devices.

In other words, if you figure out a way to make money investing in goats and hamsters, then do it. If you don't stay on a goat farm, then probably you will need to try out gold!
You might be wondering why you can't just sell it to a local jeweler. Well, most jewelers do not buy up gold to melt down and make into other things. Nor are most of them in the business of investing in gold. If your jewelry is not outdated and is stylish enough to resell, a jeweler may actually give you a better price.
The counter balance for paper financial assets such as the Dollar and Bonds is real tangible assets. Preferably one's that are not debt financed (Real Estate) and not economically sensitive (Oil and Industrial Metals) and that leaves our favourite – Gold!
I can't reply that dilemma. But what I do know is that gold will hold its value in the in the vicinity of long run. With the entire world as technologically innovative as it is, we are additional prone to assault than at any time ahead of. As a result, gold has plateaued at over the 00 every ounce mark. Historically, gold has gone up in appeal as the earth destabilizes.
As a family we left South Africa and bought the world famous coin the gold Kruger Rand. I did not ask a mentor for guidance. No one told me NOT to put all my money in one basket, especially when the gold price soared from 0 to 1 per ounce then I obtained it at this high price. It is because there was a prediction that it will reach the 00 mark before long. It took nearly 30 years to get back my investment. Needles to say, I am suspicious of gold bullion or silver for that matter.
While carrying out bullion trading, you can trade as per the gold price today at that point of time. You will earn profits depending on the current and latest gold price. You can check out the live gold price and buy or sell gold. The gold price changes every day. The gold price in Mumbai or India changes daily. Depending on various factors, price of gold goes on varying. Factors like demand for gold, international economy and rate of dollar all influence the price of gold. A person interested in bullion trading should know the factors which can influence gold prices as it will help him to earn profits.
Do you know how pricing on precious metals works? Metal prices fluctuate constantly, so you need to know the price on any given day for a transaction. Watching the market can help you to buy or sell your gold at a great price.
Old gold jewelry and gold electronics can be changed to cash easily through the myriad of gold traders in the market. There are many professional and reliable gold trading companies in the market that would offer a fair price for the gold regardless of the quantum if the quality is high.

Doctorate Programs Online – Could One Maintain Your Future?
The doctorate degree, the greatest degree offered in lots of countries such as the U . s . States, has become offered online. The result is a bachelors or masters degree. How long come to complete the doctorate degree depends upon when the bachelors or masters degree is incorporated in the same section of study. Two distinct kinds of doctorate levels incorporate a professional degree, needed to rehearse inside a specific profession, along with a research degree. Research degree candidates are needed to understand understanding inside a broad field and methods of scholarly research.
Within the U . s . States, a minumum of one to 3 many years of study past the masters degree is needed for that research doctoral. Around the average the study doctoral is most frequently achieved after 5 years of study and research past the masters degree in on campus doctorate programs. Furthermore, doctorate candidates must pass dental examinations and offer an itemized dissertation based on their research. The doctorate dissertation is associated with an authentic contribution to some body of understanding. The doctorate candidate completes an in depth study of the research problem and presents individuals findings inside a dissertation.
The most crucial research doctoral may be the Physician of Philosophy which might include specialization in any academic field of study. Doctorate levels representing advanced professional training include doctorate levels for example Physician of drugs, Pharmacy Doctoral, Physician of your practice and Physician of Dental Surgery. Undergraduate levels can differ for individuals acquiring a doctoral in advanced medical training. For those who have considered acquiring a doctorate degree still pursue the practicality from it. Earning a doctorate degree might be fairly simple for you personally. The practicality of acquiring a doctorate degree has broadened using the chance of internet education. There are lots of institutions that provide doctorate levels any partly online. Just like online education is promoting in may other segments of society, doctorate programs online are actually a real possibility.
Many educational facilities have walked to the requirements of working professionals who aren't capable of leave their positions to operate on the doctorate program. They're offering many if not completely from the courses online. Some programs require face-to-face conferences in the institution with faculty included in the progression toward planning coursework, research development or writing the dissertation. Course work, including exams, could be completed online in the ease of a student. This enables job and put bound potential students to pursue their objective of acquiring a doctorate degree without departing their position or moving. Frequently the restricting factors in search of a diploma are cost so when it's possible to keep working and draw a paycheck in addition to avoid moving expenses, in some way the daunting task appears more reachable.
Doctorate programs online or perhaps in residence do have a price, there's without doubt. This program of labor is just for individuals ready to plan for this type of degree. Price varies from institution to institution so it's best to look around. It's useful when the section of study they wish to pursue within the earning of the doctoral degree could be narrowed lower. In so doing after that you can better narrow your research of institutions to individuals that provide a doctoral in your town of great interest. Then, specific tracks within regions of interest could be looked for availability from various institutions. Next consider cost variance, faculty, along with other areas which may be worth focusing on. All these steps can help rule in or eliminate real interest and also the practicality of going after a doctorate program online or perhaps in the classroom. This allows focusing and growth and development of an objective or goals that warrant effort and time and, I would add, bloodstream, sweat and tears. Since you may have observed in other parts of your existence, it's important to throw yourself to your lengthy-term goals with a lot of energy and excitement because the goal, obviously, it to achieve the aim. A doctorate degree goal, online or perhaps in the classroom, isn't any exception.

Aberavon 32 Pontypridd 11
PONTYPRIDD failed when the chips were down during this Welsh Premiership clash at third-placed Aberavon.
The Sardis Road side, who had won their last four league matches, posed their biggest threat early in the second half when only trailing 17-6.
"We took play through up to 10 phases at times, but in fairness to Aberavon we couldn't break them down when it mattered most," said Pontypridd team manager Wayne Cullen.
"In the end it was a case of us being outmuscled by some old hands, but our youngsters will learn from the experience - and hopefully become better players."
A first win over Pontypridd since December 1992 kept the Wizards in the forefront of the championship race. But they will have to maintain a high-tempo game if they are to trouble leaders Newport on Saturday
Flanker Dean Thomas and prop Greg Dix were the Aberavon forwards who caught the eye as the Wizards got home on a 6-1 try-count.
Aberavon: Tries - David Hawkins, D Thomas, D Griffiths, H Merrett, J Jones, A James; con - J Davies.
Pontypridd: Try - M Nuthall; pen ? L Thomas; drop-goal - Thomas.

Drug addiction can be an everyday struggle for people in Louisiana who can't put an end to the cycle of addiction on their own. Addicted people can lose hope that there will actually be an end to addiction, which is the source of so many social, economic and health consequences in the state. Louisiana in particular has a several serious drug problems because of its proximity to Mexico, making it a gateway for the illegal smuggling of drugs into the U.S.. Significant quantities of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, and marijuana are smuggled into and through Louisiana each day; so drug addicted people have no problem obtaining their drug of choice. According to a recent survey, an estimated 6% of Louisiana citizens report use of some form of illegal drug within the past 30 days, so it is a widespread dilemma. Countless numbers of men and women in Louisiana lose their lives to addiction each and every year as a result.
Louisiana drug treatment and alcohol rehab centers are the answer to this dilemma, and countless numbers of people have been helped and rehabilitated as a result of the support provided at a variety of different types of drug treatment and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Louisiana. Louisiana drug treatment and alcohol rehabilitation centers are offered to treat just about every type of substance abuse addiction, and every degree of addiction from hardcore addicts who have been on drugs for many years to youth and teens. It is vital to fully grasp the different drugs of abuse and the challenges that Louisiana drug rehab and alcohol treatment facilities are faced up against in the treatment of addiction to these drugs. With these challenges, drug rehab and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Louisiana make breakthroughs on an everyday basis in the treatment of addiction to a variety of drugs using a variety of different types of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs.
All illicit drugs are easily accessible in Louisiana, but methamphetamine is of specific concern and is a significant drug threat to the state. Drug traffickers are delivering in meth which is highly potent and low cost to the consumer, supplying Louisiana citizens a powerfully addictive substance which is simple to acquire and produces a nearly unrivaled high. Without treatment, people who are addicted to meth will normally not be capable of quitting one their own. There are drug rehab and alcohol rehabilitation programs readily available in Louisiana which handle meth addiction, which are specifically tailored programs which address the problems that meth addicted people will need to resolve to get better and become rehabilitated.
Alcoholism and alcohol addiction are also of specific concern in Louisiana, where there had been 1,235 alcohol-impaired driving fatalities in 2009. Treating alcoholism can come with a vast range of challenges as well. Individuals who are detoxing from alcohol are at risk of certain complications which need to be medically supervised such as seizures and other severe health dangers, some of which can result in death. It is not advisable to attempt an alcohol detox on one's own, and drug detox and drug treatment and alcohol rehab centers in Louisiana which deal with alcohol addiction know how to make this process as safe and smooth as possible. Louisiana drug treatment and alcohol rehabilitation programs which treat alcoholism are prepared to utilize every tool at their disposal to discover and tackle all underlying addiction issues with the particular person once detox is complete, and with long-term inpatient and residential programs having the maximum success rates.
Prescription drug addiction has come forward in recent years as a serious drug problem nationwide, and Louisiana is no exception. Prescription drugs which are frequently diverted and abused are sedatives, tranquilizers, pain killers, stimulants, benzodiazepines, and muscle relaxants. Abuse of alprazolam (Xanax) and carisoprodol (a muscle relaxant and analgesic) has experienced a recent rise in Louisiana. There were 87 deaths in the state in 2004 as a result of carisoprodol overdose, but the drug wasn't the only drug observed in the vast majority of these instances. 84 of these deaths were also caused by the individual combining powerful prescription pain killers and other prescription drugs with the muscle relaxant, with hyrdocodone (narcotic analgesic) and the anti-anxiety benzodiazepine alprazolam being the primary culprits. Abuse of the opioid narcotic hydrocodone is also of particular concern, as is abuse of opioid cough syrups which contain codeine.
Since popular culture doesn't place the same social stigmas on prescription drug abuse as is put on abuse of typical street drugs, getting individuals to admit they have a problem and getting them into treatment can be a challenge. However, there are varieties of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Louisiana which focus on the treatment of prescription drug addiction. There are both physical and psychological hurdles to overcome when dealing with prescription drug addiction, but the drug treatment and alcohol rehab centers in Louisiana which handle prescription drug addiction tailor their techniques to the needs of the individual so that they can receive the full benefits of treatment.
Treatment for other types of abuse in Louisiana has existed for many years, and drug and alcohol rehab programs in the state know very well how touchy it can be to deal with addiction, but also how satisfying it can be to rehabilitate an addicted person. It isn't unusual for a Louisiana resident who is struggling with any type of addiction to be required to take part in an inpatient or residential program of at least 90 days if they desire to get the best chance at a full recovery. There are a wide variety of distinct types of inpatient and outpatient drug rehab and alcohol rehabilitation centers available in Louisiana, however an outpatient drug and alcohol treatment program is not going to offer the most productive treatment technique for addicted people or Louisiana residents are battling long-term addiction. There is no shortage of effective drug treatment and alcohol rehabilitation centers offered in Louisiana, and there is certainly one appropriate for every type of addiction. Every community in Louisiana has thousands of people having issues with addiction who need to fully grasp what types of addiction treatment choices exist in the state so they can get the help they need. Drug and alcohol treatment experts are offered to help answer any questions and get them started on their road to recovery today.

Piano tuner piano tuning grand piano tuning
How well a piano takes a transport and associated climate changes depends above all on quality and age or preservation of the instrument. Finding out which pitch makes sense for your instrument is essential for the right tuning. Very varied tuning levels were found even far into the 20th century. The reason was that the instrument makers made different designs and specifications - but also because the quality of the tuning forks for a1 could still deviate by more than 10 hertz. In 1834, a1 with 440 beats per second was uniformly suggested on the meeting of German naturalists and physicians. In 1858, the diapason normal, - the "concert pitch a1" - was established by the Paris Academy at 435 hertz. The pitch (440 hertz = concert pitch a1) was established as late as 1939 during an international tuning tone conference. The "Paris tuning" of 409 hertz was often used as a reference about 1900, it may be found, for example, on the pin block of early Blüthner instruments. Pianos and grand pianos from about 1910 were mostly tuned to 410-435 Hz - these should not be tuned higher today, because some of them were not designed for 440 hertz. New pianos are tuned rather higher, to 442-444 Hz, esp. if the instrument is used to accompany voice and chorus. Provided that the transport was professionally carried out (instrument protected in transport covers, no significant climate variations, no edging or heavy setting down etc.), allow at least two weeks for the instrument to acclimatize. Then it may be more firmly regulated and the tuning will be more stable. If the ambient conditions of old and new site are much different, expect several tuning sessions within the first year.
A piano tuning will cost between 60 and 140 euros in Germany, we found, that also depends on whether the tuner tunes by hearing or tuning device. We appreciate the tuning by hearing, because we found that the result will be significantly better. Ask acquaintances and friends for a skilled tuner. According to skill and hearing, you may have your own expectations of piano tuning (e. g., well-tempered versus uniform tuning etc.). Not all piano tuners are able to realize these subtle differences. Many piano tuners are listed on the website of the Federation of German Piano-makers at http://www.bdk-piano.de - but you will also find numerous others in your area.
If you have acquired an older piano, it is recommended to choose a piano tuner who is familiar with older instruments and has a certain affinity to these. Modern piano houses are sometimes less enthusiastic about such ancient instruments - that attitude may reflect in higher tuning costs or restoration offers.
A piano should be tuned at least once per year. It may be required more often if either the piano's structure prevents stable tuning or the climatic conditions in the room are unfavorable. Then maybe a replacement of the tuning pins or other repairs will be recommendable. Basically, your hearing decides - you (or your neighbors) will learn to hear when tuning is necessary.
A lesser regulation of a piano will be included by a piano tuner immediately and bills this - if at all – per hour. Regulation means that touch, damping power etc. are adjusted so that you will take pleasure in the piano and the potential of the instrument is exploited. A further overhaul of the piano makes sense only if you are not content with the sound any more - or if a lesser regulation does not produce satisfactory results. A piano has approx. 6000 individual parts and most of them are in the action, so that many wearing parts have to be adjusted or exchanged, according to demand and quality/preservation. You will see - it is worth to have this regulation or overhaul made, because touch and sound and thus joy in playing increase very clearly.

Im working on a project for a company im employed with and I am having some difficulties with dynamic text. I have a dynamic leaderboard that reads an array of names, scores etc from a local file. When it does that , I am creating a horizontal panel with a few graphics and 5 dynamic text fields where I put player name, score rank etc. The problem is that when I scroll those names, and when I have lots of names then the resource consumtion peaks 100%. I cannot allow that because we have other equipment hooked up to the PC and it gets messed up when Flash hits 100% in resource consumption.
I have tested this leaderboard with different data/fonts etc. These are the conclusions:
- If i scroll the leaderboard without any text (dynamic text fields are there, I just disabled the action script assigning value to it), then I peak out at 35% resources
- If i only show 1 field with only 1 number/character, I peak out at 38%. Each additional character adds approximately 2% to the total resource consumtion.
Embed Font Outline is set to ALL CHARACTERS everywhere - that seem to be taking least resources. If I change Embed Font Outline to NONE - it doesnt show anything at all, if i change it to certain characters, it uses even more resources then ALL CHARACTERS.
My question is:
Is there any way I can lower teh resource consumtion related to the number of characters displayed at one time on the screen on a fixed amount of dynamic textboxes?
I am using Flash MX version 6, I recompiled my source file using flash MX 2004 and played it on newest flash player 7 with no visible improvements.
My system specs:
Intel P4 2.4Ghz
ALLINWONDER 9000 Video Card with 64Mb memory
All drivers are up-to-date.
Thanks for any help.
