As the Northern Hemisphere goes through the motions of fall and prepares for freezing winter months, the Southern Hemisphere enjoys the opposite as we lather on the coconut oil hoping to brown in the heat of the rays. But it is in these few months that both hemispheres, and their trends, collide. At this present moment, one of those trends happens to relate very well to our feet.
Loafers. Plain loafers. Velvet Loafers. Jewelled Loafers. Embroided Loafers. Patterned loafers. Leather loafers. All kinds of loafers you could think of under the sun. If you're wearing a pair - you are on trend and too hot to trot! Net-a-Porter listed Loafers as one of their 25 key Fall Edit trends - to be honest I think I may have looked at this page alone 10 times today already. It's difficult to be diverted
One of the greatest benefits that come to mind with this footwear is the comfort of a loafer - it's almost too hard to resist! You don't need to worry about blisters from your pointed-toe pumps, nor Party Feet gel pads to help you bear your 6 inch heels. Loafers, just like slippers, are bliss; heaven for your feet. And let's not forget to mention that loafers no longer look like your grandpa's bedroom slippers from the 1960's - they are , in fact, seriously stylish!
Versatility is an enormous asset. Team your loafers with just about everything - skinny jeans, boyfriend jeans, chinos, shorts, skirts, shift dresses, party dresses - the list is endless. Additionally, loafers lend themselves to multiple styles - preppy, corporate, manstyle, nautical, polished, grungy - and on and on!
And of course, unlike other trends based around coats, boots and gloves, we don't have to wait another 7 months or so to be able to wear these beauties! The time is now! xx

About the TODS Program
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT)
administers a Tourist Oriented Directional Signing Program (TODS)
along various highways. This program involves installing
blue-background signs at intersections in rural areas to advise
tourists of businesses or attractions not visible from a
State-maintained highway.
The program includes all sections of rural
non-freeways except those passing through urban areas with populations
of 5,000 or more where the number of businesses would make such signing
impractical. It does not apply to Interstate routes or other full
freeways or highways under the jurisdiction of the Illinois State Toll
Highway Authority.
How the Program Works
Where space is available at a rural State-maintained
highway intersection with a crossroad, IDOT will make, install and
maintain one TODS sign in each direction. Each sign may identify up to
four businesses/attractions.
To be eligible for signing, a business/attraction
cannot have an entrance along a State highway where they could have
their own signing. Where they are not located on the crossroad,
additional signs known as "trailblazers" may be necessary to direct
tourists to their location.
There is a $100 nonrefundable processing fee. In addition,
there is a $70 annual fee for each sign. The total fee for an individual
business/attraction depends upon how many TODS signs are installed.
What Businesses are Eligible
Businesses/attractions must be oriented toward
tourism with the major portion of their income or visitors derived
during their normal operating season from motorists not residing within
25 air miles.
Eligible businesses/attractions include, but are
not necessarily limited to, those offering gas, food and lodging,
campgrounds, orchards/tree farms, produce stands, wineries, marinas,
fishing/bait facilities, stage theaters, amusement parks, riding
stables, antique and craft stores, museums, golf courses, facilities
offering aircraft, boat, or train rides, and historic villages.
Ineligible businesses/attractions include, but are
not limited to, shopping malls, furniture stores, drug stores, movie
theaters, community business districts, appliance stores,
automobile/truck dealerships or garages, houses of worship, real-estate
offices, livestock sales facilities, sand and gravel facilities, and
grocery stores.
For Further Illinois TODS Information
If additional information is needed or if you wish to submit an application, contact the IDOT district TODS coordinator for your county. Please do not send a processing fee without the official application form.

TN News Notes on Legislature and State Government, 3/8/10
Shrinking TennCare
TennCare would shrink by $1.2 billion from last fiscal year's spending under Gov. Phil Bredesen's proposal for the next fiscal year, including some cuts covered in the current year by federal stimulus money. The News Sentinel's Nashville reporter made an attempt at outlining the situation, which ranges from hospitals ready to tax themselves (actually, they prefer the term 'enhanced coverage fee') to a 14-year-old quadriplegic who is indirectly impacted. The story is .
Blasting the Barrett Bill
Gail Kerr has taken a swat at legislation (SB94, as amended) that would grant an easement on state property along Interstate 24 in Rutherford County to Barrett Firearms - over the objections of the state Department of Transportation. The company's owner, Ronnie Barrett, has donated legislators in the past (though not to sponsor Sen. Doug Jackson, D-Dickson). A previous post HERE.
A couple of excerpt lines:
Seriously, have they no shame? Instead of an all-you-can-eat buffet, it's a help-yourself road project.
... The issue is not this road, or what the company manufactures. Once again, it's state lawmakers who appear willing to grant a single constituent a favor in exchange for a campaign donation. It's also about setting a bad precedent. If this passes, every business with enough money will expect the same treatment.
A Pregnant Pause?
A bill on the posting of signs in hospitals that declare women cannot be coerced into having an abortion aroused some concern in a House sub last week, reports Josh Nelson. Rep. Susan Lynn's bill would allow lawsuits for failing to post the signs and for failure to follow special informed consent procedures involving minors.
A Tennessee Hospital Association spokeswoman said the bill could cause difficulties:
"We could be in an emergent situation with a comatose minor but be forced to choose between ignoring the informed consent portion of the bill and treating the minor to save the life," she said.
No vote yet on the bill (HB3301).
Yes, Nathan Vaughn Is Running
As expected since the results of the November, 2008, election were certified, Democrat Nathan Vaughn has declared he is going for a rematch against Republican Tony Shipley for the right to represent Kingsport in that state House. The Times-News reports on the official kickoff, with commentary from Shipley as well.
Wanna Buy a President's Home?
The University of Tennessee is offering for sale the Georgian-style brick mansion that has historically been the residence of six UT presidents. The listed price is $5 million, but, as the News Sentinel reports, that really doesn't matter. The 11,416-square-foot, three story mansion in Knoxville's upscale Sequoyah Hills will be sold by sealed bid auction. You have until April 30 to submit a bid.

I saw a post in my VIP Challengers Team that prompted me to share with you! I found this information very helpful as I always knew that our cravings were in place to signal us to get nutrients our bodies wanted and needed, BUT did my body REALLY want Ice cream? Is there really something in there that my body NEEDED? One thing I would like to point out is , many of our cravings are based in a psychological desire. Ice cream may be a craving from a memory of feeling good that we wish to bring into our perspective for one reason or another. With that being said, we also crave things because our body sends a signal to our brains in order for us to satisfy a depletion of a mineral or vitamin our body is craving for it's best function. What we do with that signal can lead us to poor choices to fulfill those physiological needs leading to other problems like poor health and all that comes with it.
So, here I am going to show you the information I found, and it is my hope that you get value from it.
Chocolate Magnesium Nuts, Seeds, Legumes
Sweets Chromium Broccoli, grapes, cheese,
Carbon Fresh Fruits
Phosphorous Chicken, Beef, Fish, Eggs,
dairy, nuts, legumes, grain
Sulphur Cranberries, horseradish,
Cauliflower, Broccoli,
Tryptophan Cheese, Lamb, Liver,
Raisins, Sweet Potato,
Bread, Toast, Pasta ETC Nitrogen High Protein Foods:
Nuts, Legumes, Beans,
Fish, Meat, Soy Protein
Oily, Fatty Foods Calcium Spinach, Collards, Kale,
Broccoli, Milk, Cheese,
One thing I would like to point out, especially for those that have been thinking about or are Vegetarian: Most of our meat sources are VEGETARIAN. They get their protein and calcium from PLANTS. Plants are always a better choice when eating, they deliver MORE nutrients than meats. And for you Meat eaters (Like Me) JUST KNOW THIS, Meat in our diets is more of a flavor and preference. Eat LOCAL free range meat when ever possible to enjoy the nutrients it does have. When you purchase meat in a grocery store, you are not getting healthy meat.
To Our Finest Life,

Oxfam and TWN Africa challenge the EU to extend market access in the absence of an EPA
Published: 27 April 2007
The European Commission has threatened some of the world's poorest countries with lower access to the EU market if they fail to sign new free trade deals known as Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) by the end of 2007, when their current market access preferences expire. But according to a new report launched today by Oxfam International and Third World Network Africa, African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) countries have more options than the European Commission has suggested.
In the event that ACP nations are not ready to sign by the end of the year, the EU could still provide them with a high level of market access, using the so-called GSP-plus scheme, without breaching World Trade Organization (WTO) rules.
Tetteh Hormeku of Third World Network Africa said: "The European Union has been cranking up the pressure and presenting poor countries with a stark choice: either sign up to free trade deals which will be devastating for the economy and for the vast majority of people, or accept less advantageous market access terms overnight, which will lead to massive income losses and economic instability.
"This research shows that there is a third way: with some improvements Europe could use GSP-plus to continue current levels of market access for ACP countries, even if EPA negotiations are not concluded by the end of the year. It's just a matter of political will. They are, in fact, obliged to do this under the terms of the Cotonou Agreement, signed in 2001."
The joint Oxfam-TWN report focuses on countries in the East and Southern Africa (ESA) negotiating bloc, and Papua New Guinea in the Pacific bloc, and demonstrates that for these countries GSP-plus would offer a level of market access very similar to that currently enjoyed, including for key sectors such as horticulture, fisheries and wood. For example, Kenya would have 99.61% duty-free, quota free market access under GSP-plus, compared to 99.63% currently. Mauritius, Papua New Guinea and Ghana would retain exactly the same access. The study predicts that the same would apply in other ACP countries.
Many ACP countries have expressed concern that they have not had time to carry out impact studies or consult with people who will be affected. Commentators fear that current EU proposals, which include deep liberalisation and new rules on services and investment, would destroy livelihoods and hamper future industrial development.
Luis Morago, Head of Oxfam International's Brussels office said: "The EU is being disingenuous, claiming they must either force free trade deals on poor countries, or re-impose punitive duties that will destroy jobs and businesses. However, they could also offer the same level of market access, economic stability, and time to negotiate good deals that realise the potential of trade to boost development and reduce poverty. This would require some ACP countries to ratify, or commit to ratifying, international conventions in order to be eligible for GSP-plus but if the EU is serious about helping poor countries, it should open this possibility.
The report recognizes that GSP-plus has a number of limitations but that these could be addressed given sufficient political will by all parties. It is important that rules of origin are improved and the scope of coverage is extended. In addition, neither GSP-plus nor EPAs resolve issues for exporters of bananas, sugar, beef, veal or rum – currently administered under the EU's Commodity Protocols. The report calls for the EU and ACP to separate discussions on the future of the Protocols from the current EPA negotiations and seek long/term measures to support ACP countries that are highly dependent on commodity exports

Help is on the way! A Plague of Biblical Proportions!
by QTG, Tue Jun 23, 2009 at 12:54:50 PM EDT
A crop-borne fungus that targets wheat, named Ug99 because it was first identified in Uganda in 1999, has become one of the primary threats to global food security. Newfound virulence in the evolving stem-rust strain suggests the fungus could destroy as much as 80% of the world's most widely grown crop: wheat.
Science! Once again we hear that 'the Sky is Falling!'
the increased virulence seen in East African samples of Ug99 has caused concern the fungus could cause a global collapse of the human food supply.
These people. When will they stop?
Besides. Elisabeth Hasselbeck, in her new blockbuster book on eating Gluten free (and we all thought she was just a dumb Republican echo with yellow hair), will teach the world to eat non-wheat!
And those who are savvy can even make a buck on this. Ain't American free enterprise great?
Fear that the fungus will cause widespread damage has caused short-term price spikes on world wheat markets. Famine has been averted thus far, but experts say it's only a matter of time.

Jessie J has launched an almighty Twitter rant this afternoon - slamming people's use of the social networking site.
Jessie went on a rant about Twitter this afternoon. Copyright [Instagram/ Jessie J]
Seemingly prompted by an abusive tweet received, Jessie kick-started her rant by using a light hearted approach.
She wrote: "You send a nasty comment yet you follow me?... Lol. Will always baffle me!"
Returning to the site twenty minutes later, Jessie J then got serious, addressing her fans who she claimed tweet her everyday asking for social help.
She wrote: "I have always been honest with my fans. And a few of you tweet me constantly everyday saying "Jessie help me I have no friends".

The singer had previously tweeted six hours before: "If your whole life is twitter. Sadly you don't have a life. You have twitter. Only you can change that."
That's a lot of Twitter use coming from a person who clearly doesn't like Twitter.

Meanwhile in Jessie J land, The Voice judge showed off the latest in a long line of hairdos.
Ditching her trademark fringe but also getting rid of her long wavy locks of recent weeks, the 'Domino' star Instagrammed a snap of herself with the new barnet.
And it seems that this time around she's going for the sultry look, as she added a sweeping fringe to her ongoing collection of differing 'dos.

Not Lying Down
by WeDemocrats, Mon Jan 01, 2007 at 12:18:07 AM EST
As 2006 ends and 2007 begins, each of us must not only make the traditional resolutions, but resolve that we have had enough (remember our cry during the election), that we are not going to take it lying down any longer.
Six long years end, as we begin a run of the last two years of the Bush administration. An administration rote with abuse, corruption and intimidation.
Most of the American people have set back and watched as Bush and his cohorts have did their best to tear up the Constitution, leaving it frayed and bruised. Set back and watched as Diebold has disenfranchised their vote. Set back as our elected Representatives in Congress have been corrupted, and intimidated into allowing this destruction of our Constitution.

Stark was tackled inside the Omni Hotel in Charlottesville on October 31st after shouting a question to Allen about his ex-wife. Police are investigating that incident.
"The Young Turks" issued a statement saying they hired Stark because he "has shown an ability to ask questions others are not willing to ask."

Tragicomic insider stories about the trials, tribulations, and just plain weird stuff that happens when you run a restaurant.
Before Toki Underground's chef-owner Erik Bruner-Yang knew that he was going to open a ramen shop, he took a trip back to his homeland of Taiwan. While he was visiting, he stopped in at the flagship store of vinyl toy company C.I. Boys. "They're Taiwan's equivalent of Kidrobot," he explains.
The shop was having a massive sale on their colorful collectible figurines, so Bruner-Yang promptly bought nearly 2,000 of them. It ended up costing him more than $3,000, not including the giant suitcase he had to purchase to carry them all.
To return to the States, Bruner-Yang and his mother had to fly through Japan. As they were going through security, officials pulled him aside. They wanted to see inside his big bag. When they unzipped it, they were confronted with hundreds of small, unopened boxes.
Politely, but "super seriously," they asked Bruner-Yang to take a seat, because they were going to have to open every single box. "If I was a toy collector, that would have been my freak out moment," he says.
It took over an hour and a half to go through the hundreds and hundreds of boxes. "My mom was more pissed than me," he says, "because I was holding her up." Finally, officials determined that none of the toys were stuffed with drugs, explosives, or whatever they thought they might find. They helped Bruner-Yang repack his suitcase and sent him on his way.
Now you can see a number of the fantastical figurines displayed along the wall at Toki Underground. Some people just stare at them, some take Hipstamatic pics, and others feel the need to play with them. There's one problem: they're inside glass cases glued to the walls.
"People like to touch and steal things," says Bruner-Yang. "I like to touch and steal things. I'm not going to act like I never took a fork from a restaurant." It doesn't usually happen with drunks at midnight though. Think sober people early in the evening on a weeknight.
One woman managed to rip the case off the wall before the staff could stop her. "She told me, 'I thought they were here to play with,'" says Bruner-Yang, who chose to not kick her out. "It's like dealing with a kid. You can't get mad, but you have to be stern."

For this week's PROMPTuesday Exercise #7, San Diego Momma generated a random prompt to give a starting phrase, the setting, and two items to include in the story.
Here they are:
First sentence for the story: "Dear Diary,"
Setting: In a limousine
Two words that must be included while writing: "Missile" and "Hearth"
And here are the "rules according to Deb":
- You must write your entry in 10 minutes. This encourages top-of-mind, primal thinking before the ego and judgmental brain kicks in. Just set a timer, make your kid count to 600 slowly, whatever. It's an honor system. And I trust you.
- Keep to 250 words or less.
Here's my entry:
The Key to Miss Illeen
Dear Diary,
Just last Sunday, Miss Ileen showed up at church in a limousine. A limousine! She was dressed all fancy-like and wore too much lipstick and rouge, if you ask me. Miss Ileen was in the company of a gentleman who looked like he was no gentleman at all, if you catch my meaning. The ladies of the Tied Together Quilting Group and I just shook our heads, which we could not help doing, of course. Who rides to church in a limousine unless she's going to a wedding or a funeral? Well, the smile on Miss Ileen's Maybelline-covered mouth as she exited that limousine answered any question about what was going on inside! Why, Miss Ileen was downright glowing! And I know it wasn't the Holy Spirit that had been in her, no sir. On Judgment Day, when the good Lord looks into Miss Ileen's heart He's going to be surprised. But not me, and not the ladies of the quilting group; we won't be surprised at all. We know just what Miss Ileen's heart holds, and it is most certainly not the key to salvation. The key to a limousine is more like it.
Until next week, dear Diary,

Class 5A football playoff bids won't come easy
Athletic directors at the Class 5A level have proven to be the most invested in controlling their own playoff destiny since a switch to the...
In a record year of voting for starters in the sixth annual Mail Tribune All-Star Basketball Classic, no one's name popped up on more ballots than Cascade Christian's Alex Miller.
On Saturday night, Miller repaid those who found him worthy with a top-notch effort in leading the Siskiyous to an 81-68 victory over the host Rogues in the Olsrud Gymnasium at Kids Unlimited.
The senior leader for the Challengers dropped in a game-high 17 points behind three 3-pointers and added three rebounds en route to MVP honors in the all-star game that features the top boys in the Rogue Valley from Class 6A to 1A.
The margin of victory was the second-most in event history, trailing only last year's 102-82 win by the Siskiyous in an all-star game that had been decided by a combined 15 points over the first four years.
"I was just coming out here trying to have fun and that's what we accomplished tonight," said the 6-foot Miller, who was the lead vote-getter among the boys with 3,775 votes. "Coming out here playing a great game of basketball with a lot of old friends was fun."
A record 22,472 ballots were cast to select starters for the boys and girls games, with all proceeds from the event going to support Kids Unlimited. Since the MT All-Star Classic began in 2008, more than $25,000 has been raised to support the local organization develop resources for kids of poverty to play basketball.
"It's always good to see a bunch of people come out to support something like this," said Phoenix junior Tyson Morris, who finished with 12 points, four assists and three rebounds for the black-clad Siskiyous. "It's also very cool to get to play with a bunch of players from higher levels like 6A with the North and South guys, so it was a pretty good experience for me."
While winning the MVP trophy was a nice gesture, Miller said the best part was knowing that his team won out over Cascade Christian teammate David Sellers, who was the leading vote-getter for the Rogues with 3,401 votes. Sellers, a 6-7 junior, finished with a double-double after notching 10 points and 10 rebounds.
"It is immense," Miller said of the magnitude of Saturday's outcome. "It was so great to beat him. He would've never let me hear the end of it if it was the other way."
The game appeared to be destined for another fantastic finish as the teams played to a 21-all tie through one quarter and the Rogues took a slim 39-36 lead into halftime on the heels of a 3-pointer by Grants Pass senior Dylan Strempel, who finished with eight points.
The third quarter, however, belonged almost entirely to the Siskiyous, who heeded the instructions of their coach — Oregon Tech assistant coach Justin Parnell — and took their play up a notch to start the second half.
"It stops becoming about you and it starts becoming about the team, which is kind of weird for an all-star game," Miller said of the Siskiyous' inspired third-quarter play. "Coach (Parnell) was just like, 'Put it away right now,' and that's what we were able to do."
The Siskiyous opened the third quarter on a 12-2 run that eventually surged to 20-4 before the Rogues finally clawed back to make their deficit 59-50 heading to the fourth. Miller had seven points in that span, with four points coming from Crater junior Connor Lane to go with baskets by Morris, Illinois Valley senior Mack Epple, North Valley senior JJ Chirnside and Eagle Point junior Cesar Chavez.
"It was weird because I hadn't shot a basketball in a while so it felt good to come out here and play well," added Miller, who was 7-for-10 from the field.
The Siskiyous kept the pressure on in the fourth quarter, matching anything the Rogues could throw at them to secure the victory. While there's no standard set on which school's athletes play on certain teams — and often teammates are pitted against each other — Saturday's win marked the fourth straight for the Siskiyous after the Rogues won the first two boys games.
Ashland sophomore Gabe Stanley paced the Rogues with 14 points and grabbed seven rebounds, while Crater senior Cody Dismukes had 10 points and three rebounds and was part of the highlight moment for the boys game. After the Siskiyous failed to score on their first possession of the second quarter, North Medford junior Julian Gray hooked up with Dismukes for a crowd-friendly alley-oop dunk.

No one knows how Claire ended up wandering up down the 100 block of Orange Avenue. But there she was and a cat caring person saw that she was lost and brought her in.
Claire obviously had a home before this. She came to us already spayed and is extremely social.
At first glance you would think she was a brown tabby, but upon closer inspection you see the warm golden colors of her fawn tabby coat. In addition to her wonderful markings, Claire is tall and quite regal with a lot of poise and confidence.
She is very interested in anyone who comes into the cat room and comes down to say hello and solicit pets. Claire is affectionate and friendly – truly a cat that loves people.
If you are interested in adopting Claire, you must first complete a Cat Adoption Application and meet with a PAWS of Coronado Cat Adoption Counselor.
Claire's Stats: Female, 4 years old, domestic short hair, Fawn Tabby, 11 lbs 8 oz, shots Up to date, spayed, microchipped, adoption fee, $50.00.

Maternal Metabolism and Obesity
Principal Investigators: Professor Dena Towner, M.D., Clinical Science Lead Ratna Mukherjea, Ph.D., Associate Professor Frederic Chedin, Ph.D., Professor John Rutledge, M.D., Assistant Professor Anita Moon-Grady, M.D.
- The "Walnut Study" is evaluating the hypothesis that women consuming 1 oz of walnuts/day, and therefore having a higher intake of the omega-3 fatty acids, during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy and the first 6 weeks of lactation will have lower serum insulin concentrations, lower glucose response to an oral glucose load, lower free fatty acids and triglyceride levels, lower biomarkers of inflammation, and higher levels of n3 and n6 fatty acids in maternal serum during pregnancy and lactation and higher breast milk levels of these essential fatty acids. This study will be the first to evaluate the beneficial effects of walnut intake during pregnancy and thus the effects of omega 3 fatty acids in the diet.
- We are investigating the effects of maternal serum lipids on placental vascular function. The hypothesis being that the increased lipids and triglyceride rich lipoproteins (TRGL) that are present in obese women can lead to vascular changes in utero to the fetus which have live long imprinted effects and thus the adult health of the offspring.
- We are investigating if there are different methylation patterns of genes in fetuses born to normal weigh women versus obese women. Again investigating the impact on fetal imprinting and ramification for later adult life.
- With Anita Grady, we are proposing a study to look at fetal cardiac function (diastolic and systolic function) in utero comparing obese and non-obese patients in conjunction with the above studies.

Pupils meet famous broadcaster and author
8:40am Friday 18th May 2012 in Local
BOOK-loving pupils from Droitwich Spa High School have met a popular broadcaster and author.
Fourteen science students from the town visited Stourport High School on Tuesday, May 8 to see Simon Mayo.
The event saw youngsters from across the county convene to hear the famous Radio Two presenter talk about reading and writing and to have copies of his first novel, called 'Itch', signed.
Mr Mayo's novel is about:Itchingham Lofte - known as Itch – who is fourteen and loves science, especially chemistry. He's also an element-hunter: he's decided to collect all the elements in the periodic table. Which has some interesting and rather destructive results in his bedroom.
Heather Evans, librarian at Droitwich Spa High School, said: "Simon was a great speaker and his book is well written and makes science fun."

The ISCPA Board of Directors has declared September 19, 2013, as ISCPA Community
Service Day. It is their hope that all member firms, companies and organizations
will participate in some type of volunteerism within their community on this
Please note that if September 19th doesn't work for your firm, ISCPA still wants to know what you are up to in your Communities. We realize that a single day can be difficult - so shoot for the month of September and keep us posted!
Studies show that company volunteering can bolster team spirit among participating employees and increase company morale. In addition, studies have shown that companies that participate in service days or more formal volunteer programs are likely to have lower turnover rates because employees see community service as an attractive company benefit.

Backers of the Universal City expansion plan have had a relationship with Villaraigosa since he was elected mayor in 2005. Days before he took office, NBC Universal spent $25,000 to attend his inaugural gala, as did KNBC-TV, Channel 4, the company's local affiliate. NBC Universal's Spanish-language stations, Telemundo-52 and KWHY-TV, Channel 22, spent a combined $10,000.
Villaraigosa will have considerable sway over the development project, which will go before his appointees at the citywide Planning Commission and require considerable oversight from Gail Goldberg, the Planning Department general manager whom he hired last year. Villaraigosa has met at least twice with LaBonge to discuss it.

No injuries reported in four-unit apartment blaze in Belmont
A four-unit apartment building on Young Road in Belmont was struck by a three-alarm fire Wednesday night. (DAN SEUFERT/Union Leader Correspondent)
Fire broke out at 149 Young Road, Belmont, at 6:30 p.m., according to Gilford Fire Chief Stephen Carrier. The fire was originally thought to be in Gilford, but was found to be in Belmont, Carrier said.
Firefighters from Gilford and Laconia were dispatched to the fire. While responding, they were told there was an occupant trapped on the second floor, Carrier said.
Before they got to the scene, another phone call indicated that the occupant had been able to jump from the second floor and was out of the building.
"Obviously, the occupant that jumped was extremely lucky to get out of the building," Carrier said. "His only exit to the ground was completely engulfed in flames. He jumped from a deck onto a dump truck parked below to escape the flames and smoke."
Carrier said there were no other occupants in the building at the time of the fire.
Belmont Fire Department Lt. Greg Bavis said authorities were working Thursday to identify the man who jumped. He was an adult male who jumped from a second story rear deck.
He fell about 24 feet and landed in a dump truck, Bavis said.
"He apparently was in one of the units and fled when the fire spread," he said.
The fire is not considered suspicious in nature, as it started in a second floor egress in the wall of the building, he said.
When firefighters arrived, a first alarm was called for, as fire was showing from the roof, the right side, and rear of the large, four-unit apartment building with garages underneath. A second alarm was requested, and then a third alarm was called at 7:08 p.m. for additional manpower and water supply help.
Firefighters knocked down the fire on the exterior of the building and in the attic and roof areas with outside streams, and then advanced hand lines into the second and third floors to extinguish the remaining fire in the walls, floors, and attic. Water was shuttled to the scene from a cistern on Cotton Hill Road, Carrier said.
After the fire was knocked down, when it was determined that the building was in Belmont, the Belmont Fire Department assumed control of the incident. Three engines, a tanker, a rescue truck, an ambulance and a utility truck from Gilford responded to the scene along with an engine and ladder from Laconia.
Apparatus and crews from Belmont, Sanbornton, Tilton-Northfield, Franklin, Holderness, Meredith and Alton assisted at the scene. Engines from Center Harbor and New Hampton covered the Gilford station, along with an ambulance from Gilmanton.
Also assisting on scene were a number of officers from local departments, Lake Region Mutual Fire Aid, Lakes Region Community Emergency Response Team, Gilford police, and the Red Cross.
The house was badly damaged, but firefighters managed to save much of it, Carrier said.
"All of the crews worked extremely well together, as usual," Carrier said. "This was a tremendous stop considering the amount of fire we had showing when we arrived, the remote location, and the size of the building."
The American Red Cross Disaster Action Team assisted four adults who were displaced after the fire. The residents have been offered financial assistance for food, lodging, clothing, shoes and bedding, according to the Red Cross.

Part 2 Consents
Case Summary
On 7/16/2012, the FTC required drug supplier Novartis AG to give up its marketing rights to four topical skin care medications, under a proposed settlement resolving charges that Novartis' acquisition of pharmaceutical firm Fougera Holdings, Inc. would harm competition in the market for these topical drugs. The settlement order requires Novartis to end a marketing agreement that allows it to sell three topically-applied generic drugs and return all rights to a fourth generic drug in development to its manufacturer, Tolmar, Inc. According to the FTC's complaint, Novartis' acquisition of Fougera would violate Section 5 of the FTC Act and Section 7 of the Clayton Act by reducing competition in the generic drug markets for three skin care drugs: 1) generic calcipotriene topical solution, 2) generic lidocaine-prilocaine cream, and 3) generic metronidazole topical gel. The complaint also alleges that the acquisition would eliminate potential competition in the market for the sale of diclofenac sodium gel. On 9/5/2012, the FTC approved a final order settling charges that Novartis AG's proposed acquisition of Fougera Holdings, Inc. was anticompetitive in the markets for the marketing rights to four topical skin care medications. The final order resolving the charges preserves competition in the markets by requiring Novartis, a drug supplier, to end a marketing agreement that allows it to sell three of the products and return the rights to the fourth product to its manufacturer.

Senator Ted Kennedy's Health Care Legacy
by JohnGaramendi, Wed Aug 26, 2009 at 12:47:11 PM EDT
Last night, our country lost one of the most important public servants in U.S. history, Senator Ted Kennedy. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Vickie, his children, First Lady Maria Shriver, the Governor and the entire Kennedy family. The nation and the world have lost a leader with unparalleled passion for social justice and equality, and his legacy will live on in the many lives and hearts he touched. They will carry the flame of justice and service forward.
Senator Kennedy fought for health care access for every American. In the 1990s, he was one of the lead architects of S-CHIP, which has provided millions of low-income children with the health care they deserve, and he tirelessly promoted universal coverage throughout his career. As Kennedy said during his riveting address at the Democratic National Convention in Denver last year:
"This is the cause of my life - new hope, that we will break the old gridlock and guarantee that every American - north, south, east, west, young, old - will have decent quality health care as a fundamental right and not as a privilege."
More over the flip...
To honor Senator Kennedy, Senator Robert Byrd has proposed naming the health care reform package after Kennedy. As we mourn the loss of a great man, we must continue the work that is required to make sure his lifelong cause is accomplished. Senator Kennedy's passing gives renewed focus to the need to pass meaningful health care reform that includes the public option. If he were still with us today, he would agree that there is no more fitting a tribute to his legacy. As Dr. Howard Dean said today, "When President Obama signs a healthcare reform bill late this year, Ted Kennedy may not be standing there next to him, but his presence will be deeply apparent in the Oval Office as the President's pen moves across the page."
John Garamendi is the Lieutenant Governor of California. He was California's first elected State Insurance Commissioner.

SEATTLE — It was as if dice-rolling Coach Mike Martz were calling plays from his St. Louis-area home Sunday.
The Rams, under the direction of assistant head coach Joe Vitt while Martz recovers from a heart virus, were lining up for a field goal in the second quarter to add to a 3-0 lead against first-place Seattle. A third consecutive win and an improbable restart of the NFC West race was in sight.

The Cullman Times
A massive water main break forced the closure of West Point intermediate and middle schools Tuesday morning, sending roughly 800 students home.
A 6-inch pipe burst overnight and flooded an area near the high school baseball field, leaving the two other schools without running water early this morning, said West Point High School Principal Heith Yearwood. The elementary and high school did not close and continued with regularly scheduled classes.
"We began calling notifying parents around 6:45 and 7 a.m., but some of the buses had already run and had students," Yearwood said. "The elementary and intermediate schools did not having working bathrooms and couldn't serve breakfast, so that's why they had to let students out."
Repairs on the burst main were completed by Tuesday morning at a cost of about $300 for materials, said VAW Water Department Superintendent Shawn Whittle.
"We got the first call around 5:30 a.m.," Whittle said. "The pipe was installed sometime in the late 1980s, so the age and the amount of pressure — 100 pounds of pressure — were mostly likely factors in the break."

Waterford High School special education teacher Christopher Johnson died unexpectedly Saturday evening, according to Principal Don Macrino.
The cause of death is not yet known, although it appears it was a natural death, Macrino said. Johnson appeared healthy Friday, he said.
"The reaction is shock and sadness," Macrino said. "You leave school Friday and everything is fine. This isn't what you expect to hear."
Macrino said Johnson was in his early- to mid-40s, and he was, "a very, very caring guy." Macrino said he notified the staff at , and he and the staff will deal with the students first thing Monday morning.
"At a time like this our responsibility is with the students and to make sure they grieve responsibly and look out for each other," Macrino said. "Not unlike a family would."
Macrino said this is the first time in his career he experienced the unexpected death of a teacher as young as Johnson. He said Johnson had strong relationships with several students and teachers.
"He was a teacher who really related well to kids," Macrino said. "He looked out for students who didn't always have somebody to look out for them."

Another sign of the apocalypse!
Drinkable donuts. Drinkable donuts. Drinkable donuts! I was tired at having to expend all of those calories on chewing--this just made it easier!
WOW! Did you see those calorie and carb counts for those drinks!!! No wonder we're the fattest country on the planet :)
I'll tell you though, I ordered milk one time at a Krispy Kreme to go with my doughnuts and I had them put a shot of flavoring in it. I chose the original Krispy Kreme flavoring (you know, so the milk would taste like a doughnut). Disgusting. Way too sweet. I couldn't finish it. I envision the frozen version to be jsut as bad.
Based on the calorie and carb counts for one of those frozen drinks, I could throw down a six pack of Sam Adams Light (best bottled beer in the USA by the way) and some nachos. Hmmm, that's not even a close choice!
I know! I was wondering how much fat, carbs and cals those things pack and when I saw it, I was amazed. What always kills me is to see the teenagers/college kids taking one of those things down and not gaining a pound. You know, there has to be some way to harvest their metabolism for the greater good.
As far as your last paragraph is concerned, I will just quote Homer and say "Mmmmmmmmm, nachos and imports."

The study involved dogs brought to Penn's Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital with newly diagnosed NHL that had reached clinical
remission following induction chemotherapy. Nineteen of the dogs were given a vaccination of autologous CD40-activated B cells
(every other week resulting in three intradermal injections in the flank) that were loaded with RNA previously isolated from
autologous lymphoma cells. Another 64 dogs were selected from a group of 130 to remain unvaccinated in a control group.
The experimental vaccine was produced by culturing B cells from the blood taken from dogs with NHL. The cells were loaded
with RNA isolated from the patients' own tumors.
The research team hypothesized that B cells—which can be grown from a small blood sample, removing the requirement for patients
to go through the lengthy process required to separate the dendritic cells from blood—could work just as well as dendritic
cells, under the right conditions.
"Though vaccinated and unvaccinated dogs relapsed with clinical disease at the same time, 40 percent of vaccinated dogs that
relapsed experienced long-term survival after a second round of chemotherapy; only 7 percent of unvaccinated dogs that relapsed
and were treated with the same rescue chemotherapy protocol survived long term," says lead author Nicola Mason, PhD, assistant
professor of medicine at Penn Vet. "Furthermore, when the vaccinated long-term survivors did eventually die, they showed no
evidence of lymphoma on full necropsy."
Mason says she believes that the vaccine-primed immune system may be boosted by the effects of rescue chemotherapy leading
to long-term second remissions.
"We found that although the vaccinated dogs still relapsed with clinical disease when they were treated with rescue chemotherapy,
they had significantly increased overall survival times when compared to an unvaccinated control group. Some of these dogs
are still alive and cancer-free more than three years later," Mason says. "The results with these dogs indicate that our immunotherapy
and rescue chemotherapy appear to act synergistically to prevent a second relapse—a phenomenon that has been previously recognized
in human patients treated with other types of immunotherapy."
The concept for B cell-based cancer vaccines is already a step forward in cell-based vaccine development, but the study indicates
that future research could take the concept a step further.
"These dogs just received three doses of vaccine, three weeks apart. If we kept boosting the immune system in this way by
vaccination, perhaps the dogs would not relapse in the first place," Mason says.
Work is now underway to streamline B cell vaccine generation and initiate further clinical trials aimed at optimizing this
novel cell-based approach, according to Penn.
Led by Mason; Karin U. Sorenmo, DVM, associate professor of oncology at Penn Vet; and Robert H. Vonderheide, associate professor
of hematology and oncology at the Perelman School of Medicine, the study was published in the online journal, PLoS One. Erika Krick, Beth Overley and Thomas P. Gregor of Penn Vet and Christina M. Coughlin of the School of Medicine also contributed
to the research. The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health, Alliance for Cancer Gene Therapy, Onyx and Breezy

Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania and Oncology Research Fund at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of
