10 Reasons Why Corporations Are NOT People
Just in case it isn't exceedingly obvious to you...
10. Corporations are made of people. To say that this makes corporations equal to people is to commit the fallacy of composition.
9. The Constitution says "We the People," not "We the Corporations."
8. Corporations are clearly soulless, and often corrupt and evil, entities.
7. Corporations can't step into a voting booth.
6. Corporations can't get cancer.
5. Corporations get more tax breaks than actual people. And people are actually forced to pay their taxes.
4. People don't get bailouts from the government after blowing up the economy.
3. Money ISN'T the same thing as speech.
2. Corporations cannot go to jail for their crimes.
1. Corporations cannot be executed for their crimes.
Remember...the Constitution says "We the People," not "We the Corporations."

Mitt Romney Narrowly Wins the Iowa Caucus By Just 8 Votes
It was the closest outcome in history. The previous record went to the 1936 primary in South Dakota, which was decided by just 257 votes. There was also very high turnout, with about 117,000 votes cast. Romney took 30,015 votes to Santorum's 30,007.
What does it say about Romney? He couldn't win in Iowa in 2008, and he can't win big now. If he can outspend his opponents by millions but come that close to losing, there is something to be said about the lack of enthusiasm he generates from his supporters. It says a lot if the latest GOP "Flavor of the Week" (AKA "not Romney") can make the race so close. Something tells me this might spell the eventual end of the Romney campaign, like his poor showing in Iowa did last time. But I can't see the future. We'll see, folks.
Ron Paul finished 3rd, Gingrich finished 4th, Rick Perry finished 5th, Bachmann finished 6th, and Jon Hunstman finished 7th. Perry said he'll head back to Texas to reassess his campaign, rather than continue to N.H. We'll wait and see who stays in the race, and who goes.
You can see the full results here.

God could not be reached for comment on why Perry and Bachmann did so poorly.

Romney Drops Out Of Race, Endorses Ron Paul
|A disappointed Romney addresses the press.
"I'm just not crazy enough," he said. "The people have shown us that they want a truly insane candidate, and since the media has been consistently ignoring me, I've decided it is my time to go. We've got to get behind what the people are showing us they want, and that is, according to the latest polls, Ron Paul."
"Believe me, I tried to get the nomination. I flipped. I flopped. I pandered. I told people I was unemployed, even though I'm a millionaire with several mansions. I wear magic underwear, for Pete's sake! Yet I couldn't take the lead from Paul, and I thought that said something, you know? So I am endorsing the craziest one of 'em all, Ron Paul. And it's not just because he's leading the polls."
Everyone knows Iowa picks the nominee and the President accurately. Remember President Pat Robertson? Yeah, me too. It's a smart move on Romney's part. Rumor has it that he might be on the ticket as V.P. You never know, Ron Paul is pretty crazy.
"I think I, I'd accept joining Mr. Paul on the ticket when he gets the nomination," Romney said "but don't get me wrong. I'm not doing this to look good, or to get on the V.P. ticket. I've really changed my mind."
Christine O'Donnell changed her endorsement to follow Romney. "That's one of the things that I like about him — because he's been consistent since he changed his mind," O'Donnell said, "but if he is endorsing Ron Paul, I'll have to agree.
You heard it here first, folks.

text: Josh Flint Blaming HFCS for the Obesity Epidemic Is Narrow Minded Prairie Gleanings Have you noticed the scientific articles on obesity never include anything about personal responsibility? Published on: October 27, 2010 I know this is a novel idea, but is it possible that Americans are overweight because they eat too much and don't get enough exercise? Not according to a new "scientific" article in Obesity (an actual research journal). The article places the blame on the shoulders of High Fructose Corn Syrup. It points the finger at soft drinks, saying HFCS is to blame for the country's obesity epidemic. As I investigate the HFCS debate for the December Prairie Farmer, I've realized there's one thing that HFCS detractors don't dare discuss in the obesity epidemic: personal responsibility. In fact, that seems to be a common theme in this country. Don't like your current situation? Blame everyone but yourself. Yesterday, I spent a couple hours sifting through Princeton University's recent study involving feeding HFCS vs. sugar to lab rats. Though I'm not a career scientist, the data seem to be filled with inconsistencies. I'll explain in detail in the December issue. Still, there's one big thing that bothers me about obesity tests involving rats. We don't know why they overeat. Over the past few years, my weight has gone up and down. If I examine it closely, it appears to go down when I'm happier, up when I'm depressed. With my son's recent diagnosis, I realized that sometimes food is the only thing you look forward too after a rough day. Point is, society has evolved a great deal from the days of the Depression. Food is plentiful and cheap. Additionally, the 8-hour work day has given us time to eat. I contend that obesity is not an HFCS-cause problem, it's a societal problem. To say HFCS has caused everyone in the country to get fat is too narrow-minded. I'll leave you with one last thought. If we were warped to another universe, where broccoli tasted like ice cream, would folks eat too much broccoli? In that same universe, ice cream would taste like broccoli. However, both foods would retain the same caloric content, i.e. broccoli would still be good for you, ice cream wouldn't. So what do you think, do we eat too much unhealthy food because it tastes good, or because we know we shouldn't? Registered users may comment on this blog.

A teacher shares his experience about how he involves his students in science research
I am a science teacher at Sullivan South High School in Kingsport, Tenneessee, where I have taught Chemistry for the past 23 years and Astronomy for the past fifteen years. South is one of the very few schools in Tennessee to offer astronomy as a science course.
I first became interested in student research in 2003, when I participated in a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded variable star workshop put on by East Tennessee State University (ETSU). I realized that it was the sort of project that I could do with my students, if only I had the necessary equipment (I already had the content knowledge that I needed). I set about acquiring the needed materials by writing two grant proposals—a Tennessee Space Week grant, offered by the Tennessee Education Association (TEA) and a Putting Children First grant, offered by Eastman Chemical Company. I was successful in both cases, receiving $1000 from the TEA and $500 from Eastman Chemical. These funds were used to purchase a laptop (a big deal in those days), a CCD camera, and a couple of other items that were required for the project—the school already had a telescope that I was planning on using—a local college (now King University) provided a photometric "v" filter.
The title of the project was "Using Small Telescopes for Variable Star Photometry." Most of the students in my Astronomy class that year were involved with the project and it was successful—we did manage to acquire data on two variable stars and submit it to the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) for archiving in their database. However, even though there was a great deal of student involvement, this was not a research-based project—it was merely a "hands-on" opportunity for students to gain some insight into photometry.

We need more bloggers in West Allis
(Picture me waving my finger at each of you in the international symbol of "shame on you".)
I have posted 11 blog entries since Aaron's last post. 12 entries since Steve posted last.
My Veal Schnitzel is gone!
Doyle's Milwaukee Inn (on 74th & Greenfield) closed over the weekend, and in its place will be an Italian restaurant.
Doyle's had quickly become one of my favorite restaurants since my family moved to West Allis. In addition to their Veal Schnitzel, I liked their Hungarian Goulash. But most of all, I was a big fan of the casual pace of the meal (never feeling rushed, and with each course being brought out separately), and the wide array of steaks, seafood and European dishes offered.
Do you want to see me with my 42" waist in a Speedo?
You must be kidding. There is no way I would try to squeeze myself into a Speedo, much less get a photo taken of such an event, much less post it.
So why did you look?
I went YouTubing again
Some days are just made for surfing the internet. With the Bears/Oakland tied 3-3, and Cinti beating Balto 6-0, this was the day.
Believe it! A community that freezes spending in mid-year.
Since I've been to Reno five times (and Reno isn't really that big) I know the city well enough to occasionally glance at the Reno Gazette Journal and read some of the local news. For example, when the Mitzpah hotel burned down in October 2006 and killed 12 people, I knew exactly where that hotel was located. This past summer when fires threatened Lake Tahoe's southern shore, again, I knew the affected area and now check in on the reconstruction of the area.
Today, trying to kill off the last five minutes at work, I surfed over there and read the headlines. I was intrigued by one, titled Washoe board freezes 5% of budget spending. I read it, because earlier in the day I had read on JSOnline that the Milwaukee County board overrode most of County Executive Scott Walker's vetoes.
Oh, craps
As much as I would hate to turn away readers, if you don't know much about craps, this entry might be hard to understand. But please, try to follow along.
For years, I've wanted to learn how to play craps at a casino. Pre-Potowatomi, one of my best friends, I'll call him Pete, would drive to the Chicago riverboats every week for a game. Pete was pretty cool about it, too. He would crow about his wins, but he would also tell about his sometimes huge losses. When I asked him how to play, he would always say that he would show me "the next time we were at a casino". Invariably, the next time we would be in a casino together, he would start throwing $5 cheques all over the place and I couldn't keep up with him. I would try to interrupt with a "why did you do that?", but before he could answer, the dice were rolled and he was either collecting or making another bet that I didn't understand.
What's your M/$?
As we all know, everybody goes mental over the "miles per gallon" of his or her car. Car companies tout their mileage estimates. Consumer Reports and various other websites say that by keeping your car tuned up and tires inflated, you can increase your gas mileage.
Great. But I don't have gas mileage in my wallet (Side note, I don't actually carry a wallet. My duff is big enough without another two protruding inches.)
Did you notice the lack of an explosion around State Fair on Thanksgiving Day?
I successfully deep fried my first turkey Thursday... ON MY FIRST TRY!!!!
First the disclaimer. I don't like the taste of turkey. I don't know when I decided that, but it was sometime in my early adulthood, probably when eating a sub sandwich, thinking "I could be eating real meat". (Side note; I could start my own lsit of culinary no-nos - turkey, the looks/smells/taste of ketchup, margarine, milk, eggs, baked chicken and a host of others.) Anyhoo, at some point I decided that I didn't have to eat turkey, and so I've made first the Devil Reincarnate, and now My-Sugar-Na, make a ham for me on Thanksgiving to go with the traditional turkey.
The 14th Commandment
Moses appeared on Mt. Sinai with - not two - but THREE stone tablets. Unfortunatley, as accurately depicted in Mel Brooks' "History of the World, Part I", as Moses descended the mountain, he dropped one of the tablets, and watched in shock as the tablet broke into pieces.
Recently archeologists have uncovered numerous pieces of this third tablet. Erosion has not been kind to the stone and biblical scholars are trying to decipher God's thoughts as they relate to four of the five newfound commandments. Amazingly, the part of the stone that contained the 14th commandment has been found completely intact.

Butternut Squash and Roasted Garlic Galette
Author Notes: I love butternut squash in any form, but it takes a lot of work to cut so I don't cook with it nearly enough. When I do, it has to be a special recipe. This one is worth it. I've served this as an appetizer and as a main course. It could travel well for holiday potlucks. - lorinarlock - lorinarlock
Food52 Review: Lorinarlock's butternut squash galette may just be our go-to first course for autumn dinner parties from now on. Rustic yet full of nuance, it coaxes sweetness from the winter squash and roasted garlic, complementing them with the right blend of salty creamy cheese, fragrant thyme and a delicate, buttery crust we're sure to adapt to many other recipes. There's no excess here: a touch of semolina gives the crust a sandy crunch, and the modest layer of ricotta and roasted garlic serves as a subtle, creamy bed for the melting squash. - A&M - A&M
Serves 4 to 6
- 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup semolina flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 to 4 tablespoons ice water
- 1 butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 10 cloves, garlic whole and unpeeled
- 1/2 cup fresh ricotta
- 1 cup grated fontina
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan
- To make the dough: Put the flour, semolina, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse to form a mixture that looks like small peas. Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough sticks together (to test, remove the top and gather the dough in your fingers. If it sticks together without crumbling, it's ready). Add the ice water while pulsing, until the dough comes together, being careful not to over mix. Transfer to a lightly floured board and shape the dough into a disk. Wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- To make the filling: Cut the squash into two pieces to separate the rounder part from the narrower section. Peel the entire squash, cut both parts in half and remove any seeds. Cut all four pieces into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Put in a large bowl and add the olive oil, chopped garlic and thyme. Toss to coat evenly. Spread out on one of the prepared baking sheets. Set the bowl aside. Sprinkle the squash with the salt and pepper. Put the garlic on the baking sheet and bake until the squash and garlic are tender, about 25-30 minutes. Let cool.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll out the dough into a large circle about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to parchment paper–lined baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to use.
- When the garlic is cool enough to handle, peel and put in the reserved bowl. Mash with the back of a wooden spoon until smooth. Stir in the ricotta.
- Remove the pastry from the fridge and spread the garlic-cheese mixture over the top, leaving a 1-inch border. Spread the squash over the garlic-cheese mixture and fold the edges toward the center of the galette. Sprinkle the fontina over the center of the galette. Sprinkle the edges of the crust with the parmesan and bake until the crust is crisp and golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Please use a butternut squash between 2.5 and 3 pounds before it is peeled, seeded and cut.

I enjoyed this recipe and didn't find it overly heavy. I used 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 regular flour, so there was a nice nuttiness to the crust. Next time I think I'll make it with assorted roasted root vegetables!

Oh, funny I came this close to buying a butternut squash yesterday to make this and didn't . I'll do it today and add the weight. I'll also rejigger it a little to see if I can make a "lite" version for everyone who thought it was a little too indulgent.

Sorry, this is not a good recipe, this is a FABULOUS recipe. Congratulations lorinarlock, this is an amazing recipe. It tastes so good, simple ingredients, not overdone. An absolute joy to make - very good recipe - and delicious - delicate and balanced taste (light ricotta, roasted garlic). Your crust is now my "best of". I could go on and on enumerating the qualities of your recipe but I've got a Butternut Squash Galette to attend to. Congratulations again.
about 2 years ago ubs2007
Wow....the flavors in this galette worked perfectly together! What an orchestra in my mouth! Only issue: the crust was raw after baking for 50 min. I had to take it out of the oven; otherwise, the squash and cheese would have been over-crisped. Suggestions: should I bake the crust for 20 min prior to adding the cheese and squash?
about 2 years ago lorinarlock
Hi there,
I'm surprised to hear this about the crust. I haven't had that happen. It has to be a difference in ovens or temperature. I'll make it again soon and let you know if I can think of any ways to prevent this.

I'm new to this site, and this is the first recipe I've tried. What a little winner! I'm not very experience with dough, so I was nervous about that part, but it came together just like in the slide show, and I used the trick of rolling it out between two sheets of plastic wrap. Somewhere between the grocery store and my house, the fresh thyme I bought disappeared, so I substituted some chopped fresh sage and rosemary. I made it for my mother and I for dinner and paired it with a green salad. I was in squash heaven, and you deserved to be a contest winner for this one. The crust, which is maybe the second one I ever made, had such a wonderful texture--crunchy yet delicate--and how can the marriage of squash and cheese be anything but savory wonderfulness. I do wish it wasn't so high in calories, because I could eat this very often. I used fat free ricotta, and maybe I'll try some reduced fat cheese for the topping next time to cut some of the fat out. We had the leftover half for lunch today, and it tasted even better after everything had melded together further. If this is an example of the quality of the recipes on this site, I will become a frequent follower of the chefs/cooks who share their culinary creativity here. Thanks to you, lorinarlock, for being responsible for my receiving the highest compliment I ever get from my mother for anything I cook--which is "not bad". Translation: she loved it.
over 2 years ago lorinarlock
Hi there! Thank you so much for your note. I'm glad your mom liked this recipe. It's such a fun dish and while it's pretty decadent, I console myself with the fact that butternut squash is full of good stuff. I'll have to try it with the herbs you used. That sounds like a great combo.

I made this last night and the whole family, including 3 kids, loved it, even my daughter who turned her nose up when I said I was making butternut squash for dinner (she had the most of anyone). I note that after about 25 minutes cooking time, the fontina was browning, but the crust, while very tasty, was not particularly crisp or golden brown, which appears to be the case in the photo accompanying the recipe as well. A&M, if you are making this galette as a first course for a dinner party, you have a lot more energy than I do---while it was not at all difficult to make, it did take a fair amount of time for something that would only be one course. We paired it with a salad and had plenty for everyone for dinner.
over 2 years ago lorinarlock
Hi there, Thanks so much for your note. As a mother of a six-year-old I've seen that upturned nose! I'm so glad everyone liked it. It does take a bit of work, but it's worth it and it's not a recipe I make everyday, but when I do I'm really happy I did. If you do want to serve it as a first course, all of the components could be prepped a day or two in advance and then finished and assembled the day of. I've often had leftovers the next day and while it still tasted delish, the crust was not as crisp.
about 3 years ago bottomupfood
We made this for dinner, but really, it should have been dessert! This dish is delicious, but it's about 80% unhealthy and 20% healthy (that's the squash and garlic).
We were only about to use about 1/4 of our butternut. It would have been helpful to know how many pounds of squash we would need so that we could do a better job determining how many to spice and then cook. The leftover was great pureed and then used as a pizza topping, but it's annoying to have no idea how much you'll really need.
about 3 years ago lorinarlock
Hi Carey, Around here we subscribe the adage, Life is short, eat dessert first. And honestly, we rarely eat sweets after dinner--my one big downfall even when we entertain I rarely serve dessert. I make this galette a few times a year and when I do, I balance it with something like roasted chicken breasts over arugula with roasted vegetables on the side. Once in a while, something decadent is necessary and I'd rather have this than a pie or cake any day!
Thank you so much for your tip about including the weight of the squash. I typically use an entire small to medium squash, piling it on. I'll weigh it next time.

Finally got around to making this. Recipe calls for a "clove" of garlic but I think it should read "head" or unpeeled or similar..later specifies to unpeel etc. A little confused but just played with it.

hardlikearmour is a trusted home cook.
I've made your galette as directed and it was delicious. It's also ridiculously versatile, and the crust is perfect. I was clearing out my fridge today, and roasted up a bunch of veggies (carrot, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, yellow pepper, red pepper, golden beets, radishes, and red onion). I made the crust, mixed some dried onion with ricotta spread it on, then piled on veggies & cubes of brie, grated up the rest of my fontina, and sprinkled the edges with pecorino. It came out beautifully. Thanks for such a wonderful recipe!

This was amazing. A delicious dish that is now a staple. I'm actually trying to think of what to substitute the squash for. Just to mix it up. Any suggestions?

I am in love with chard sauteed with garlic and crushed red pepper, which would be a great substitute for the squash. Just be sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. You could use fontina or something a little sharper like Parm or Gruyere. Roasted zucchini would also be good.

USAGE OF EXPIRED DRUGS: When paramedics ran out of a critical drug used to treat irregular heartbeats, the Bend Fire Department in Central Oregon resorted to using expired medications. Medications are only guaranteed to work as intended until their expiration date. When stored properly, most expired drugs won't be harmful to patients but will become less effective with time, according to medical professionals and according to the Associated Press, Oregon health officials began allowing ambulances to carry expired drugs, and southern Nevada has extended the expiration dates for drugs in short supply. Arizona has stopped penalizing ambulance crews for running out of mandated medications.
THE PROGRESS: While there are still drug shortages in affect, the United States government and the FDA has begun to play an active role in trying to help the drug shortage problem. New acts signed into law by Barack Obama will speed up the review process of new drugs that could be used in the place of others not currently available. The act will also increase the communication between the drug manufacturing companies and the FDA so that the FDA is ready to help these companies avoid shortages. Furthermore, the FDA has begun to import drugs from abroad that were not yet available in the United States. With these continued efforts it is hoped that the drug shortages will begin to lower. (Source: www.cnn.com)
PRESCRIPTION USER FEE ACT: The Prescription User Fee Act was first passed in 1992 and has been renewed several times and was renewed most recently this year in the hopes that it would help to alleviate the drug shortage problem in the United States. The act allows the Food and Drug Administration to collect fees from companies that produce particular drugs and biological products in the hopes that it will speed up reviews of new drugs and therapies. In 2012 the act was renewed for another five years and an early warning system for possible drug shortages was also added to the legislation. Under the early warning system, manufacturing companies will have to notify the FDA at least six months before discontinuing a drug or if there are any foreseeable disruptions in the manufacturing process that might make a particular drug be in short supply. Hopefully with warning the FDA will be able to prevent a drug shortage by either helping the company rectify the issue or finding another source of the drug. (Source: www.ama-assn.org)
Real Admiral, Sandra Kweder, M.D., Deputy Director of FDA Office of New Drugs, discusses the current drug shortage problem and what is being done to help the issue.
What is the current situation with the drug shortage problem?
Dr. Kweder: The current situation is that we are in the midst of what we see as a crisis of drug shortages in this country. We have been in the thick of this for about three years now. The drugs that are in shortage change on an almost daily basis, but the volume really isn't changing; it's pretty constant.
This is a really loaded question but, why is this problem happening? What's behind it?
Dr. Kweder: There are a lot of people who are trying to understand why this is happening now and a lot of people smarter than me who've looked at things like economic factors, the industry that makes drugs, as well as pricing for generics and Medicare. From our perspective at FDA what we see is the problem rooted in the manufacturing sector. Really drugs go in to shortage because companies have difficulty making them pure and simple.
Why are they having difficulty?
Dr. Kweder: Again that's something that remains a question, but what we see when we look at why and as we work with companies is they are mostly having problems with maintaining quality of the production of these drugs themselves. There are a variety of reasons for that. One of the things that is pretty clear is that most of the drugs that have been in storage, not all of them but most of them are in the generic sector, they're often older drugs. The majority of these drugs are sterile injectables and sterile injectables require very specific, meticulous, controlled manufacturing systems. When plants and production facilities are not well maintained and updated they start to break down. That's what we're seeing with that sector of the market today.
Can you talk about the quality issue with the product?
Dr. Kweder: The cause of quality issues with the products that we have seen is the kinds of things that are serious concerns to doctors and patients. So for example, we have seen fungus growing in IV bags, we've seen bacterial contamination, antitoxin contamination. We have examples of metal shards in IV solution and with glass shards in IV solution; we have precipitate forming in the IV bags or the vials for injection, in one case because the actual active ingredient in the product was reacting to the rubber stopper in the vile. Those are the kind of things that when we say quality problems are some of the most concerning. We have other examples that are on a more systemic nature in companies where they are getting reports of adverse effects with their products related to quality and they have no system for following up to figure out whether or not this is a continuous problem; they just have nothing in place. Those raised big red flags, and those are the kinds of products that I as a physician do not want my patients getting and I as a patient would never want to be put in position of receiving.
I wonder why in the last few years it seems like those issues are more common than maybe what they were up here, though we didn't have a drug shortage.
Dr. Kweder: We're trying to understand why there has been a change. As we see the change, the real slope in the curve probably started around 2006-2007 and it's really unclear. One of the things that the ASPE (Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation) report did show was 2007 seems to be a banner year for sudden surge in generics, in products turning generic. So there seems to have been at that point in time a real increase in the generic market, so that plants were operating more and more continuously. If you have a plant and the American public is counting on you to make an important product, one of the things that you need to be able to do is make sure that you have built into your operating schedule enough downtime for idle capacity time in order to institute important repairs, routine maintenance, and really maintaining meticulously quality. That is especially important in facilities that manufacture sterile injectable products. These facilities are amazing to see; every little tiny step needs to be meticulously controlled and it takes time to do that kind of upkeep. If you're in production mode all of the time, when are you going to do that? That's one of the things that we've seen. Now, is that the cause? It's certainly an association that we're seeing.
What are some of the drugs that are experiencing the most shortages now?
Dr. Kweder: It's been interesting to watch, we've seen shortages seem to affect certain sectors of the market in succession. For about a year and a half one of the biggest clinical errors that were affected was oncology. It stands to reason because cancer treatments are most often intravenous; they're sterile injectable products. There seems to be in some of the biggest producers of the sterile injectables we're having for cancer are having problems. That seems to have abated somewhat and things have improved. We've been able to identify alternate sources of product by working with alternate companies to increase production. Antimicrobials also have been pretty heavily affected, but that seems to have been in smaller periods of time. I would say currently one of the biggest areas where I've seen problems is with anesthetic drugs; drugs used in operating rooms and emergency rooms, including some of the parental intravenous pain products.
What is the FDA's role in remedying this problem?
Dr. Kweder: Our role is to do as much as we can to understand when there is a problem or even more importantly a potential problem so that we can try to prevent shortages in the first place; that is number one. If we can't prevent the shortage we take many steps to try and mitigate the shortage by working with other companies and helping the original company that may be having a production problem resolve that so they can resume business as usual. So our work comes in several stages, and in order to do that we need companies to tell us when they're running in to difficulties. Getting companies to do that has been something that we've spent a lot of time building relationships with the industry over the past five years to do. So if you're a company and you think you're going to have a little problem on the production line, you are not required to tell FDA about that. There's no regulation that requires that except in very narrow circumstances and your instinct is probably not to call FDA. It's kind of not intuitive that that's what a company would want to do, but as we've built relationships with these companies through our drug shortage program they've begun to do that because they know that the public is counting on their production of a particular product. So, they've learned that if they contact us we may be able to help them not go in to a shortage in the first place, and if there is going to be a shortage, help them get out of it; so early notification has been key. The one question is, well what can we do to help a company address a problem they're having? One thing we can do is they may call us and tell us that they foresee a problem getting raw materials. They have an application and it's becoming critical and if they can't get that raw material they're going to have to stop production. However, they have an application in house with FDA in the generic drugs office where they applied six months ago to be able to utilize an alternative supplier from another part of the world for that active ingredient and it's sitting in the queue in the back lot. If we know that we will immediately pull that application and put it to the front of the queue and it will get addressed expeditiously so there may never be a shortage. So that's a simple example. The other thing that we can do is if they tell us, look we're having problems and whatever the problem is we think we're going to have to do x, y, and z we may be down for a while. FDA knows who all the alternate manufacturers are who have the other parts of the market and we will go to them and ask if they have the capacity to increase their production and how much lead time do they need in order to increase production. Often if they can they will. What they want to know is how long do I need to do this for and I'll say we'll keep you posted. And we'll look at what the market is and how much they need to make to be able to supply the market readily. That's another example of something that we can do.
So it sounds like it's just good communication.
Dr. Kweder: Communication is critical, but we also need other companies who are willing to step in and help and we've had great success with that. All of these companies have their own challenges and they've been really good about stepping in when asked if they can, but they can't always do it. For example, some of them can't produce certain products; they don't have an approved application to produce it or they don't have the appropriate facility to do it. A good example of that would be a cytotoxic agent. Chemotherapy agents have to be made on a really separate part of the plant and you can't make other products on those production lines. So a company that isn't in the cytotoxic business can't step in and help produce cancer drugs probably, at least not easily and without a lot of lead time and investment in equipment. The other things that we've been able to do is we work with our regulatory counterparts in other countries to see if there are alternative sources of product that we could import. Sometimes U.S. companies make product here for shipment overseas that for whatever reason they've never bothered to have approved here, but they have it approved in another country and it's essentially the same. We will look at what the inspections for that have been and they might be able to ramp up production of that product. Or we look to alternative suppliers of product in other countries and we allow temporary importation of that product until the producer here can come back on line.
You mentioned that a drug company doesn't have to tell you if they foresee a drug shortage, do you think they should have to tell you?
Dr. Kweder: Today certain companies are required to tell FDA. If they make a product that is to treat a serious and life threatening condition they are required to report potential for a shortage to FDA. That's new and that is a law that was passed by the Congress just this past summer, and that is really going to help us greatly. Since late 2011 we've seen a great increase in the number of companies reporting to us voluntarily. That occurred because of an executive order issued by President Obama encouraging that and it's been great. We've seen a six fold increase in reports to us about potential shortages, but now the new law requires companies to do that.
The FDA cannot force a company to make a medication?
Dr. Kweder: That's right. We cannot force anyone to make anything.
So how does reducing profit margins on certain drugs effect the shortage situation?

Soil temperatures were not warm enough for most warm-season veggies three weeks ago, and are still not warm enough for plants like okra and sweet potatoes in our area of the world. Some gardeners have already planted their veggies, and I know a few who are starting this weekend. When you get ready to plant, remember the veggie garden basics.
Crop rotation is an essential part of gardening. Simply put, this means not planting vegetables in the same location they were planted the year before. Vegetables are grouped by family. Tomatoes, peppers, potatoes and eggplants are all in the same family, so tomatoes should not be planted where peppers were planted the year before. Likewise, squash, cucumbers, watermelon and cantaloupe are in the same family. Corn is in the grass family. By rotating crops, the life cycle of diseases and insects that live in the soil are interrupted.
A healthy garden depends on full sun — at the very least, six hours a day, though eight is better. Healthy plants in full sun are less likely to have problems with insects and disease. If you have to choose a location based on morning or afternoon sun, go with morning sun. Morning sun will dry the plants off quickly, reducing wet canopies and diseases. Late afternoon sun is more brutal.
Of course, vegetables need water — anywhere from 1 to 2 inches a week. In the absence of rain, water must be supplemented. The best way to water the garden is by drip hoses or soaker hoses, which deliver water to the plant, not the surrounding weeds. It also keeps the foliage dry (as opposed to overhead watering). Diseases are more prevalent when overhead irrigation is used as a lot of fungal diseases are spread by wet, humid conditions. Water in the early morning hours; less water is lost to evaporation. If plant foliage does get wet, the early morning sun will dry the leaves of the plants quickly.
Soil testing
I test my garden soil every three years. Soil test results will give you the pH (soil alkalinity) of the soil as well as recommendations if it needs to be corrected. A soil pH that is not in the recommended range results in nutrient deficiencies in the plant, and a stressed plant is more likely to develop insects and disease problems.
Adding organic matter when preparing the garden will improve the health of the soil, improving the health of vegetable plants. After tilling, remove as much of the weeds brought to the surface as possible. Some use a broad-spectrum herbicide to kill or suppress all weed species growing in the plot before preparing the soil. This must be done before the vegetable garden is planted. After years of adding organic matter and creating well-drained, loose gardening soil, you may not need that tiller anymore. Over tilling damages the soil creating a hard pan inches below the soil surface.
Mulching your garden will conserve soil moisture and keep weeds at bay. There are a lot of options out there. Organic mulches (like pinestraw) can be worked into the garden at the end of the season. Plastic mulches can also be used to keep weeds from popping up. When plastic mulches are used around the vegetables, a soaker hose or drip hose needs to be used to water the veggies under the plastic.
Alabama Cooperative Extension System has a great publication, The Alabama Vegetable Gardener. It is free to download and has great information for home gardeners. You can find the publication on the website at www.aces.edu.

In 1984, Richard Galanti was a young investment banker at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette when a Seattle-area start-up retailer invited him to become its vice president of finance. He is now starting his 27th year as finance chief of Costco Wholesale Corp., which has become the nation's third-largest retailer, with fiscal 2009 revenues of $71.4 billion. Costco is a warehouse club; some 55 million people pay an annual fee to shop at its 566 locations in the United States and abroad. They buy goods, frequently in bulk, ranging from apparel and appliances to food, electronics, jewelry, and more.
But Galanti, who turns 54 in March, isn't the only old-timer at Costco. Co-founders Jim Sinegal and Jeff Brotman, for example, are still at the helm as CEO and chairman, respectively. Indeed, turnover is generally low among Costco's 147,000 employees. That's because the company's compensation and benefits are far more generous than those of its main rivals, Sam's Club and BJ's Wholesale Club. Costco's shoppers are loyal, too: the member renewal rate in 2009 was 87%. (That loyalty pays dividends: in 2009, membership fees contributed just 2% of total revenue but 86% of operating income.)
Thanks to Costco's concern for the welfare of its employees — and, increasingly, for the health of the environment — many people regard the company as the good guys of retail. Is Costco too good to be true? We recently talked with CFO Galanti to find out.
In December Costco reported growth in same-store sales for the first quarter of its fiscal year. How did the business hold up during the recession?
There were two questions for us at the beginning of the downturn. One, were customers still willing to pay a fee to shop? Two, would they still come to Costco, which is a little farther away from the local supermarket, discount store, or drugstore? In fact, the one thing that increased dramatically over the last 12 or 14 months was the frequency of shoppers. Were people spending less? Yes. Were they more discriminating in terms of what they were buying? Yes. Were categories like jewelry, home furnishings, and bigger-ticket discretionary items the weakest? Absolutely. But whatever the level of sales decline, it was less than it was for traditional retailers. As apparel stores at the mall were down 10%, 20%, and 30%, we were down 5%. As jewelry chains were down 20%, 30%, or 40%, we were down 10% and 15%.
Given that success, do you plan to expand from your current 40-state base?
Yes, but I doubt if we will ever be in all 50 states, at least not in the next five years. First of all, there are three players in our industry. While there are many cities around the country where there are two or three players and we profitably coexist, it's always good to be first, because once the second guy comes in, customers may say, "I've already joined one of those clubs and I don't need another one." There are some states that are smaller, where if somebody else is already there, there's not a whole lot of opportunity left. We're not rushing to go to Arkansas, where Wal-Mart is headquartered.

Soft Structured Carriers
Boba Carrier 3G
" I started using the Boba about a month ago when my son was 14 months old. It has been a wonderful carrier for us!

The Boba 3G just has such a great fit for a toddler. He is well supported, and I can tell that there is room to grow. I..." --TalkToMeNow
BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Original
" This is the carrier I used for small infants. It is the easiest to get them into and out of. I own two of the same ones, one for in the house and one for the car.

Russell takes jockey title; Vazquez wins trainer crown
The Pimlico Race Course spring meeting ended Saturday with jockey Sheldon Russell and trainer Juan Vazquez winning individual titles. The 36-day stand began April 4. Russell topped the jockey standings for the second time in three years with 28 first-place finishes, two more than Xavier Perez and apprentice Victor Carrasco. The 25-year-old had six multiple-win days during the meet, including three wins May 4. "I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to ride for who I ride for," Russell said. "I am lucky to hang on. The last two days have been nerve racking though it hasn't stopped me from riding my own race. It has been close but I am proud to be on top at the home of the second leg of the Triple Crown." Forest Boyce and Yomar Ortiz tied for fourth in the standings. Each rode 22 winners. Vazquez earned his first training title in Maryland by winning 22 races, six more than Scott Lake. Dane Kobiskie and King Leatherbury each had 14. PTK LLC topped the owner standings with 14 victories, three more than the Jim Stable. There will not be live racing at the major Maryland tracks for the next 14 weeks. The Laurel Park fall meeting begins Sept. 19.

Winchester MP Steve Brine silent over big pay rise
5:26pm Thursday 12th December 2013 in Winchester
WINCHESTER MP, Steve Brine, has declined to discuss whether he would accept the 11 per cent increase for MPs, which will see their pay up from £66,000 a year to £74,000 in 2015.
In a statement, he said: "With overwhelming support from the public, Parliament agreed in 2009 to set up an independent body so MPs would rightly no longer have a say in setting pay and pensions.
"There are no final recommendations from the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority and there will be a further statutory review after the election, when they will hopefully bring forward proposals that see the cost of politics go down and not up."

Actually I think he and the other MPs should get more money. If Prof Carter at King Alfred's teacher training college, whoops, Winchester University, is 'worth' £222k then our MPs should get more.
Actually Prof Carter is not worth £222k but MPs should be paid more!

I'm with ERIE
Renowned poet, her life with words
April 3, 2008Nikki Giovanni, American poet
Policyholder with Carper Insurance Associates, Blacksburg, Va.
Hometown: Knoxville, Tenn.
Occupation: Poet and University Distinguished Professor at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va.
Where you've heard her name: Nikki Giovanni is one of the most widely-read contemporary American poets. She has long attracted attention as a champion of truth, experience and human rights through her poetry, activism and writing. Over the past 27 years, she's received numerous honors, including being named Woman of the Year by Mademoiselle magazine, The Ladies Home Journal and Ebony magazine. Most recently, she was the recipient of the 2007 Carl Sandburg Literary Award, which pays tribute to a writer whose work has helped enhance the public's awareness of the written word.
Where else: In 2006, she was one of the African American women honored in Oprah Winfrey's "25 Living Legends."
Her words, her work: "We are better than we think, not quite what we want to be. We are alive to the imagination and the possibility we will continue to invent the future through our blood and tears, through all this sadness." —from a memorial speech Giovanni gave following the April 2007 tragic shooting at Virginia Tech.
Why Erie Insurance? "ERIE has been able to handle all my services with a personal, small-town touch. I have a great insurance agent in Danny Carper. Dan has always looked out for me and my late mother, and he makes it so that I don't have to worry."
