text: People Courtenay C. Brinckerhoff Industry Teams Manufacturing Practice Areas Chemical, Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical 17 January 2013PharmaPatents The Patent Prosecution Highway Pothole for Pharmaceutical Patents The USPTO promotes the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) as a way to "fast-track" a U.S. patent application when a corresponding foreign application has been allowed, or when a corresponding PCT application has received a favorable Written Opinion from a Searching Authority that participates in the PPH program. While a USPTO Examiner still will conduct an independent search and examination of the application, USPTO statistics indicate that PPH applications do enjoy a more compact patent prosecution process and a higher allowance rate. Applicants considering the PPH program for a pharmaceutical patent application should be aware of one pothole that could lead to an improper (in my view) denial of a Request to participate in the PPH. The PPH Requirements The USPTO has PPH agreements with a number of foreign patent offices. The most liberal PPH program is called "PPH 2.0″ or "MOTTAINAI" and is available when claims in a corresponding application have been allowed by IP Australia (IPAU), Canada (CIPO), Finland (NBPR), Japan (JPO), Russia (ROSPATENT), Spain (SPTO) and United Kingdom (UKIPO)). The requirements for PPH 2.0 include: (1) At least one claim was determined by a PPH 2.0 participating patent office to be allowable/patentable. (2) The U.S. application and the corresponding allowed application have the same priority/filing date, and the U.S. application: is an application that validly claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) and 37 CFR 1.55 to one or more applications filed with the PPH 2.0 participating office or is an application which is the basis of a valid priority claim under the Paris Convention for the allowed application or is an application which shares a common priority document with the allowed application or along with the allowed application is derived from/related to a PCT application having no priority claim. (3) The claims of the U.S. application, as originally filed or as amended, "sufficiently correspond" to one or more of the allowed claims. (4) Examination of the U.S. application has not yet begun. (5) A Request to participate in the PPH 2.0 program is filed in the U.S. application (6) The applicant submits a copy of the office action issued just prior to the "Decision to Grant a Patent" in the allowed application(e.g., the latest "Notification of Reasons for Refusal") and an English translation thereof. The Pharmaceutical Application Pothole The pothole for pharmaceutical applications arises from requirement (3), the requirement that the U.S. claims "sufficiently correspond" to the allowed claims. The USPTO provides the following additional guidance on this requirement: A claim is considered to "sufficiently correspond" where, accounting for differences due to translations and claim format, the claim in the U.S. application is of the same or similar scope as a claim indicated as allowable in the application filed in the PPH 2.0 participating office. A claim in the U.S. application which is narrower in scope than the claims indicated as allowable in the application filed in the PPH 2.0 participating office will also sufficiently correspond if presented as a claim dependent upon a claim which is of the same or similar scope as a claim indicated as allowable in the application filed in the PPH 2.0 participating office. The additional limitation that makes the claim in the U.S. application narrower in scope than the allowable/patentable claims in the application filed in the PPH 2.0 participating office must have support in the written description of the U.S. application. A claim in the U.S. application which introduces a new/different category of claims to those claims indicated as allowable in the application filed in the PPH 2.0 participating office is not considered to sufficiently correspond. For example, if the only allowable/patentable claims in the application filed in the PPH 2.0 participating office are claims to a process of manufacturing a product, then any product claims in the U.S. application are not considered to sufficiently correspond, even if the product claims are dependent on process claims which sufficiently correspond to allowable/patentable claims in the application filed in the PPH 2.0 participating office. The applicant is required to submit a claims correspondence table in English. The claims correspondence table must indicate how all the claims in the U.S. application correspond to the allowable/patentable claims in the application(s) filed in the PPH 2.0 participating office. Any dependent claims with additional limitations must be clearly identified in the claims correspondence table. The pothole arises in the context of therapeutic method claims, which are permitted in the U.S., Australia and Russia, but are not permitted in most other countries. Instead, most other countries permit "medical use" claims. While practitioners may view the differences between therapeutic method claims and medical use claims as differences in format, the USPTO Petitions Office considers therapeutic method claims and medical use claims to be different categories of claims. This means that if the allowed foreign application includes medical use claims, a U.S. claim set that includes corresponding therapeutic method claims may not be accepted into the PPH program. Instead, Applicants may be advised to present medical use claims for the purposes of the PPH program, even though such claims are rejected by Examiners as being directed to non-statutory subject matter. Presumably, Examiners will permit Applicants to amend the claims into therapeutic method claims without losing PPH status, because Examiners will understand that the claims do "sufficiently correspond" despite their different format. Who Can Pave Over This Pothole? It is frustrating to have to present claims that will trigger a rejection in order to be able to participate in a program intended to expedite prosecution. I am hopeful that someone at the USPTO who is involved with overseeing the PPH program understands that therapeutic method claims can, in principle, "sufficiently correspond" to medical use claims, and that their difference are, indeed, permissible differences in format. Until that person paves over this pothole, Applicants who would like to have pharmaceutical applications participate in the PPH may want to consider presenting non-statutory medical use claims if such claims were allowed in the corresponding foreign application.

Young Archie Bradley resolved to listen, learn from D-backs' veterans
"He never wanted to listen," the Arizona Diamondbacks catcher and clubhouse leader said of departed pitching prospect Trevor Bauer while a guest on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM's Burns and Gambo last spring training.
The oft-outspoken Bauer quickly became known for his stubbornness within the Diamondbacks' organization, reportedly refusing to alter his quirky, pageant-like warm-up routine while frequently opting to dictate his own pitch-calling and game plan.
Naturally, he and Montero butted heads during Bauer's short-lived time as a big leaguer with the D-backs in 2012.
Bauer, a Diamondbacks' first-round draft pick in 2011, quickly received an uncanny amount of attention, both locally and nationally.
By Spring Training 2012, he had single-handedly drawn a media mob to his workouts at Salt River Fields, featuring a 450-foot foul-pole-to-foul-pole long toss, yoga-like stretching, medicine balls, a wiggle stick and sundry other unorthodox patterns.
But as his spectacle grew in fame, his organization's amusement was dwindling. They soon soured, repulsed by his cockiness and lack of teachability.
Two years removed from the circus that was Bauer, another Diamondbacks first-rounder from the 2011 draft, is bringing a dose of de ja vu to camp.
Non-roster invitee Archie Bradley, drafted four spots after Bauer at seventh overall in 2011, reported to Salt River Fields on Thursday as baseball's top pitching prospect. On Friday, at least five television cameras and more than a dozen reporters surrounded his locker, which was notably situated between Montero's and veteran catcher Henry Blanco's.
As the youngest player in the Diamondbacks' camp, the media was curious to know -- had he gleaned anything from the big leaguers he was joining?
"I'm just trying to pick up every bit that I can and use it to my advantage," he told the mix.
"Anything they say, you try to pick up and see how you can put it in to what you do every day and you just listen.
"That's what I'm trying to do more than anything."
This attitude from this big a pitching prospect sounds unfamiliar, at least in that particular facility, to that particular roster.
While locker neighbor Montero admits, "(This is) what happened here a couple of years ago," there's a different dynamic this time around.
"I knew what I was going to deal with after catching him," he said.
"(But) he's a pretty mature kid for 21 years old. And I think he knows how to handle himself in front of cameras."
The references and contrasts were subtly drawn, but they're materializing in an awfully stark fashion.
"When you bring guys to the big leagues, I think you're hoping that physically they're ready and emotionally they're ready," general manager Kevin Towers said when talking about Bradley on Friday.
"The physical skills set is definitely there and I think emotionally, he's pretty strong."
He seems ready to learn -- pleased to be between a pair of pitch callers who have been around the block.
"Being next to Miggy over here and Blanco, you know, getting their information (is great)," Bradley said, humbly smiling.
The Broken Arrow, Okla. native entered camp with 55 professional appearances under his belt. He's 26-11 with a 2.76 earned run average and a 9.9 strikeout-per-nine rate in his minor league career. In 2013, he logged a 1.84 ERA between two lower levels (High-A Visalia and Double-A Mobile) while going 14-5 in 152.0 innings pitched, striking out 162 of the batters he faced.
But it may be the emotional preparedness, the ability to adapt and the willingness to learn that prove his best assets in winning over his organization as he competes for a spot in the rotation.
"We're not holding him back with the reins by any means," Towers said.
"I think he's been preparing for this for some time."

Elizabeth Hedges, RNSt. Catherine of Siena Core ValuesHuman Dignity Award
Whether it's a patient she'll see for only 30 minutes — as they prepare for or recover from surgery — or a co-worker, Elizabeth "Betty" Hedges, RN, tries to treat all those around her at Via Christi Hospital on St. Francis as if they are members of her family.
"Betty greets each patient with a smile, kind word or hug, most of the time all three," said Ann Price, RN.
"She's just as nice and generous with her hugs and kind words to all our staff," said Sarah Truman, RN.
Over the course of her 35-year career, Hedges has worked in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit, Trauma and now in Pre-Op/Recovery.
For many patients, her colleagues say, Hedges' simple touch or soothing words relieve anxiety, provide reassurance and leave a lasting impression.
"She is one of the most compassionate nurses I have ever met," said Price, a sentiment repeated in the half-dozen letters nominating Hedges. "She makes me want to be a better nurse."

I'm not sure photos do this place justice. I loved the how all of the rooms were different. The funishings, all antiques, were just lovely. We opted for the dinner, which was seemingly never ending, and delicious. Our hostess was charming and spoke English very well. I would, without a doubt, stay here again.

Stinson SR Reliant
The new 1933 Stinson SR was a bargain at the rock-bottom price of $3,995. It combined the best parts of earlier Stinson designs with a "man-sized" four-passenger cabin seen only in aircraft of twice the price and a Lycoming R-680 engine. Months after its appearance, the Reliant was outselling all other two, four, and six-place cabin planes combined. During World War II, modified and more powerful Reliants flew with the British Royal Navy as the AT-19 while civilian ones were pressed into Army, Navy, and Royal Air Force service. After the war, Stinson SRs again became popular with American and Canadian sportsmen, businessmen, and bush pilots.
The Museum's Stinson was built in 1933. It flew as a landplane with many pilots in the Northeast before being switched to twin-floats for water landings. Beginning in 1979, it flew in Alaska -- sometimes equipped with skis.

Agnes matched her sister in devotion to prayer and in willingness to endure the strict penances which characterized their lives at San Damiano. In 1221 a group of Benedictine nuns in Monticelli (near Florence) asked to become Poor Clares. St. Clare sent Agnes to become abbess of that monastery. Agnes soon wrote a rather sad letter about how much she missed Clare and the other nuns at San Damiano. After establishing other Poor Clare monasteries in northern Italy, Agnes was recalled to San Damiano in 1253 when Clare was dying.
Agnes followed Clare in death three months later. Agnes was canonized in 1753.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
What a turn around in my child!!! Not only are they excited to go to school every day, they talk to me about their day almost every evening. Their faculty is second to none and my child's AP scores show they are ready for college. Truly a Great School!
Harding Fine Arts, the teachers and the principal are excellent. They did a great job educating our daughter by effectively combing the arts with a traditonal academic curriculum.
Harding is an amazing school! Its the best high school ive been to. Art is everywhere and the teachers are able to give students the knowledge they need.
We have been wonderfully impressed with Harding Fine Arts Academy. We feel very fortunate that our child is getting an outstanding education, while truly enjoying his high school years. From the administration to the faculty to the student body, HFAA is a very special place. The principal, Dr. Rowan, genuinely cares about the students. The teachers are committed and ready to go the extra mile for the kids. And the students support and accept each other! Again, we feel lucky to get the opportunity to be a part of HFAA.
I love Harding Fine Arts Academy. The leadership is excellent. The faculty is second to none. They still need to add to the faculty -- develop the drama and dance departments more. However, the people there are very responsive, responsible, knowledgeable, caring, and professional. The small class sizes are wonderful for my son who has some special needs. I am thrilled to have stumbled upon this school!
Absolutely horrible! Administration cares more about money and passing students than educating them. Teachers are great! But cannot fulfill their duties with the useless administration that has been put in place. I am part of the first graduating and have been there through it all. This school is headed down hill if something isn't done soon. Don't get me wrong, the idea that this school had in the beginning is a great one, now they just need to stick to their mission statement and DO IT!
Amazing art school, performing and visual. we go from 9th grade to 12th grade, and 2009 will be our first graduating class. ( I am part of this class, I have been there from the beginning.) We are fairly new, but we grow each year. Just check it out.
this school is a great school to go to! Very enriched in the arts progam. Its an excellent choice for dancers, artists, musicians, and more! As a student, there isn't a better school to go to!

More Gold
So a couple of days later it appears to have held. Well that is nice but what is next? The trend line I have pointed to in both charts seems to have some relevance. If so, it makes sense to think it can be relevant a little while longer.
If you are looking for a quick trade I don't have much to offer. If you buy into the idea of gold as portfolio diversifier and you don't have any exposure, I think this may be a good point to enter.

Although I think there may be more pain to come in terms of their stock prices I can't believe the magnitude of profits the miners are reporting, in some cases triple or even quadruple same quarter a year ago. Base metals too. Some beautiful value plays shaping up here once things calm down a bit.
If I was a betting man I'd also wager there are going to be fewer hedge funds a year from now too -- looks like some of that speculation in metals derivatives is unwinding fast -- but if a gold, sliver, aluminum, copper or zinc producer can make a good profit at one third current prices I'd say there's room for error on the equity side. - 1:04 PM

I think Silver might show a higher rate of appreciation than Gold. Gold is already too expensive to keep going the way it has. I am not suggesting the Silver ETF, but buying stocks with exposure to both silver and gold might be a good way to go.

Roger I have to disagree with you here on gold. I am looking for gold to come back down to March lows before a good entry point will be in play.. This is a short lived bounce and not a longer term entry...
- Roger Nusbaum said...
to anon,
I could easily be wrong. Its technical analysis, you could probably get five different opinions from five different people and they could all be wrong. - 3:17 PM
- Anonymous said...
I do not recognize that line you drew as a "support line"! It's ON TOP of ascending highs so that is the side to show RESISTANCE not support. Trendline support is off the lows of the cycle.
It's true that technical analysts could come up with different answers as to the meaning of momentum, oscillator readings, etc but you won't get any disagreement on this kind of thing. - 12:28 PM

One day Maharaji came out of the ashram holding my hand. Both of us sat in the ashram jeep, and Baba asked the driver, Ramanand, to take us to Bhumiadhar. When we arrived, Brahmachari Baba, who looked after the temple, was not there, so Baba asked me to break open the lock. I broke open the outer lock, and Baba said, "Break open the locks of all the rooms." I found a bunch of keys inside, so I opened all the doors. He then asked me to spread a mat on the veranda by the roadside.
Baba sat there, and after some time he said, "Tewari, make tea. Everything will be inside." I was surprised at this because he was not fond of having tea. I thought that a devotee or someone he wanted to give darshan to might be about to arrive, so I put water on to boil. Just then a Punjabi couple, who were traveling by car, saw Baba and stopped. They got out of the car, bowed at his feet with reverence, and started crying. Since both of them had a few grey hairs, I thought they were about fifty to fifty-five years of age. Baba said, "Hush, don't cry. I say there will be a son." I prepared the tea and took it to them. Baba soothed their emotions by making them drink tea. The thought, What is this madness that he is blessing this elderly couple with a child, came into my mind. Then I thought that he was probably evading their desire. When they left, Baba said to me in a stern voice, "Am I a liar?" He repeated the question again and again, and I felt ashamed of my thoughts and feelings. I held the lobes of my ears in both hands and begging his pardon said, "Sarkar, you can never be a liar." Just then Brahmachari Baba returned. Baba reprimanded him, and we returned to Kainchi.
About fifteen months after this incident, Baba again took me to Bhumiadhar in the ashram jeep. Maharaji got his mat spread on the side of the road and sat there. After a short while the same couple arrived. They brought a can of ghee and some money as an offering. The woman held a child in her arms, and I remembered the whole incident from the previous year.
~ Purnanand Tewari, Kainchi

Fight Fat with Fiber For every 10 grams of fiber you eat daily, your belly will carry almost 4% less fat. Thankfully, there are more enjoyable ways to increase your fiber than scarfing down a box of bran flakes: Two apples, ½ cup of pinto beans, one artichoke, or two cups of broccoli will all give you 10 grams of belly-flattening fiber.
Be Pushy at Restaurants Saying, "I'll go last" when the waiter comes around could be adding bulk to your belly. A recent study showed that a normal-weight woman was more likely to mimic a thin woman's eating habits than an obese woman's. So when you're out for girl's night, order first. You'll keep yourself, and maybe even a friend or two, on track to a flatter tummy.
Try This Tummy-Tightening Move Do the Windshield Wiper. Lie face up with arms out to your sides, palms down, and legs bent at 90 degrees so feet are off the floor. Keep abs tight and slowly lower legs to the left as far as possible, keeping shoulders on the floor. Pause, then return to start. Repeat to the right. Do 20 reps, alternating sides.
Clean Your House One more reason to start your spring-cleaning: Vacuuming is a great ab workout. Tighten your abdominal muscles while you push back and forth for a tighter tummy while you clean.

Highlights: Hispanics and Tobacco
Health Effects
- Smoking is responsible for 87% of the lung cancer deaths in the United States. Overall, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among Hispanics.
- Lung cancer deaths are about three times higher for Hispanic men (23.1 per 100,000) than for Hispanic women (7.7 per 100,000). The rate of lung cancer deaths per 100,000 were higher among Cuban-American men (33.7) than among Puerto-Rican (28.3) and Mexican-American (21.9) men.
- Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death for Hispanics living in the United States. Among Hispanic subgroups in 1992–1994, death rates for coronary heart disease were 82 per 100,000 for Mexican-American men and 44.2 per 100,000 for Mexican-American women, 118.6 per 100,000 for Puerto-Rican men and 67.3 per 100,000 for Puerto-Rican women, and 95.2 per 100,000 for Cuban men and 42.4 per 100,000 for Cuban women.
Prevalence of Other Forms of Tobacco Use
- Aggregated National Health Interview Survey data from 1987 and 1991 show that more Cuban-American men (2.5%) smoked cigars than Mexican-American (1.5%) and Puerto-Rican (1.3%) men.
Tobacco Industry Influence
- Tobacco products are advertised and promoted disproportionately to racial/ethnic minority communities. Examples of target promotions include the introduction of a cigarette product with the brand name "Rio" and an earlier cigarette product named "Dorado," which was advertised and marketed to the Hispanic-American community.
- To increase its credibility in the Hispanic community, the tobacco industry has contributed to programs that aim to enhance the primary and secondary education of children, has funded universities and colleges, and has supported scholarship programs targeting Hispanics. Tobacco companies have also placed advertising in many Hispanic publications. The industry also contributed to cultural Hispanic events and provide significant support to the Hispanic art community.

How to Craft the Perfect Offer - and Weed Out the Bad Ones!
There are a lot of moving parts that go into creating an effective postcard campaign. Make sure you are addressing the ten elements of successful postcard design. Specifically, however, I want to address one of the most important components on the list: the offer. It may seem counter intuitive to give your customers a price break when you are struggling with your revenue, and it may seem crazier to give them one when they are lining up to pay your normal rates, but there is more to it than meets the eye. Allow me to explain... There are two major functions that an offer (special rate, sale, discount, etc.) plays in your marketing campaign:
In a successful marketing plan, these are your two main goals. Neglect new prospects, and your business will plateau. Ignore your current customers, and your business will see high customer turnover, and plateau – right before it drops off a cliff! Here are some tips you can use to reinforce your marketing. Marketing to New Prospects The offer you present to prospects will be different from what you offer to your customers. It needs to have the following attributes:
Do your homework. Come up with something that would be considered a great value in your industry.
The prospect needs to feel as if they are getting a steal, especially if they're trying something for the first time. Don't be afraid to offer a product or service for free. The profit you gain from a lifelong customer far outweighs the price of a free promotion.
Our results manger tracks successful offers based on industry. Here are a few examples that were great successes for my clients:
These were successful for our clients because they offered something that had a high perceived value — for free! Free is great because it has automatic value for consumers. But as long as your prospect feels they are getting a great value, it will work. Remember! Price differs in many industries. A free massage at Benson Chiropractic is worth $260, while a free dinner at The Grotto restaurant may be worth $15, but both were successful deals because the offer was valuable within their respective industries. Marketing to Current Customers To tailor an offer to your customers, you need to follow the same basic principles as a new prospects offer, but with an added condition. The offer must have:
Your customers need to know they are getting this deal as an exclusive reward for their loyalty, and because you value their business. This is not an attempt to draw them in — you've already done that! Here are some examples of what reward offers look like:
It's important to reward your customers and continue the relationship. Even a small gesture can go a long way. Consider what you can offer and make sure your bottom line isn't taking a huge hit. If you can't offer a free product or service (e.g. free dinner), scale down your offer to something that still offers value, for example, free appetizer with any 2 entrees. Follow these simple tips and you'll see your offer will do the work to bring in more sales and build loyalty! Remember, if you give a little, you'll get back a lot! We track the offers that work in every industry — call one of our marketing consultants at 1(800)628-1804 to find out what's working now in your industry.

Front Page Quotations Other Quotes Week of 10 March, 2008
Quotations about Liberty and PowerAbout this Quotation:Like Adam Smith, a fellow member of the Scottish enlightenment, Lord Kames believes that the "hoarding instinct" is innate and that even children and bees (compare Bernard Mandeville) have a sense of "mine and thine". This is the powerful natural origin of property rights in human society. Other quotes from this week:
Other quotes about Property Rights:

Read the full quote in context here. Henry Home, Lord Kames, a leading figure of the Scottish Enlightenment, argued in Essays on the Principles of Morality and Natural Religion (1779) that the "hoarding appetitie" was universal among mankind and that it was the basis of the idea of property rights: The full passage from which this quotation was taken can be be viewed below (front page quote in bold):

We are putting on a production of "The Wiz" to show the Lehigh Valley that The Arts are Color Blind!
Last year we, The Gilbert Family, started our own production company and produced two full scale musicals.
This Summer we are producing the musical "The Wiz!" We chose The Wiz this summer in order to expose a larger number of minorities to the world of theatre in the Lehigh Valley, and in the process to make the Lehigh Valley aware that our minority community has much to offer. Our shows do not stick to traditional casting, but the casting is truly color blind! We are bringing together people of all ages, colors, and backgrounds. Our cast shows all ends of the spectrum..from kids with little to no theater experience, to an American Idol finalist, to gospel singers and preachers, to a Broadway performer!
We view our productions as our mission. We have had teenagers and people involved in our last two shows who were completely new to the theatre experience and often have families who are uninvolved. We do not charge tuition or participation fees, and though we try our best for parent involvement, it is not required in order to be a part of our show.
If you are not familiar with theater there are many costs that go into producing a musical. There are start-up costs, lighting, sound, costumes, venue fees, advertising, and the rights to perform the show.

Hi: 12° Lo:2° 7 day
SOLIHULL Council has criticised Tudor Grange Academy's proposed changes to its admissions policy.
The school wants to give priority for places to pupils from two primary schools - St James and St Alphege - ahead of those youngsters living in the catchment area.
The council will discuss its response to the academy's consultation at a meeting on Monday when it is expected to formally object to the proposals.
A meeting for parents concerned about the changes was due to take place tonight (Thursday) at Widney School from 6.30pm. It has been organised by MP Lorely Burt.
A report prepared for councillors says: "The council is concerned that this could destabilise the present arrangements and could ultimately result in some children in the future being unable to secure a place in a local school.
"Children living in the Hockley Heath, Blythe and Tidbury Green areas should be noted as particularly at risk.
"The council is also concerned about the possible impact on other secondary schools who might seek to introduce feeder schools into their admission arrangements.
"The Local Authority's overriding responsibility is fairness to every single child in the borough when it comes to their admission to a secondary school, whether or not the school involved is an academy."
According to the council, based on 2012 figures all children in the catchment area would have got into Tudor Grange under the new proposal, as would those children with siblings at the school, but some from outside the catchment area would not have been given a place.
But the council said it is concerned about future population changes.
The report adds: "As the catchment cohorts increase there is a risk that siblings could not be offered places.
"There could also be a risk to those catchment children living furthest away from the school."
A statement from Tudor Grange Academy's principal Jennifer Bexon-Smith said the data predictions up to 2019 indicate the school will comfortably cater for children in the catchment area as well those from the two primary schools.
She said: "There are plans for further housing developments in the south of the borough and the academy has been approached by the council to increase the intake to 270 to cope with this.
"This fits with stated Government policy which encourages successful schools to expand."
The council will also comment on proposals for changes to admissions at Park Hall Academy and Arden Academy.
While the council said it has no objection to Park Hall's plan to have a list of four priorities, they would like to see a slight alteration to Arden's proposal.
The academy wants to give children of teachers priority ahead of those from the catchment area.
The final decision on whether to change the admissions policy rests with each academy,

Tyranny/Police State
As NYC Pot Busts Continue, New York Punts on Marijuana Reform
by Phillip Smith
People -- almost all of them young people of color -- are being arrested at the rate of a thousand a week in New York City for marijuana possession "in public view," but although a legislative fix was in sight this week, the state's political establishment couldn't come to an agreement on it. Instead, the legislature is going on vacation.
The New York City "in public view" arrests violate the spirit of the Empire State's 1977 marijuana decriminalization law, which made possession of small amounts of marijuana a civil offense, not a criminal one. They typically occur when the NYPD stops and frisks someone, then either reaches into their pockets or belongings or intimidates the detainee into pulling out his biggie himself and then charges him with the criminal misdemeanor of possession "in public view."
Through-out the legislative session, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and Senate and Assembly leaders talked about fixing the situation as part of the budget process. During his State of the State address, Cuomo had called for decriminalizing the possession of up to 15 grams "in public view," but with smoking in public remaining a misdemeanor. But on Thursday, Cuomo and the legislative leadership announced they had reached a final deal on the budget, one that didn't include marijuana law reform.
That doesn't mean decriminalization reform is dead this year -- the session will resume after a three-week hiatus -- but it is certainly delayed and possibly derailed without having the impetus of the budget agreement behind it. In either case, legislators and community activists blasted the leadership for punting on the issue while the arrests (and the costs) mount by the day.
"I am gravely disappointed that this budget failed to enact justice for the more than 44,000 individuals arrested last year based on a flawed law. Not only does allowing these arrests directly impact the lives of individuals and their communities, they are a gross misappropriation of city and state resources, and a waste of officer manpower that can be spent on more pressing law enforcement matters," said Assemblyman Karim Camara, Chair of the New York State Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic and Asian Legislative Caucus. "Changing this flawed law has the support of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, NYC Police Commissioner Kelly, the District Attorneys of the five boroughs, and Buffalo and Nassau and Albany counties, the Police Benevolent Association and major law enforcement agencies throughout the state. Yet politics trumped the policy that would be best for New York City and our state."
"This is an issue that cannot wait. Our tens of thousands of youth arrested annually under unfair practices shouldn't have to wait," said Assemblymember Robert Rodriguez. "They deserve better -- they deserve justice and equality. And they deserve it now. We need to end this policy that has plagued our communities for too long and make public view possession a violation."
"Why is it acceptable to kick the can down the road when it comes to protecting the constitutional rights of young Black and Latino New Yorkers?" asked Alfredo Carrasquillo, civil rights community organizer for
. "Getting this done is a test for the political leadership in Albany that right now they are failing. It's time to stop delaying justice when it comes to ending racially biased and costly marijuana arrests."
Since 2002, nearly 500,000 thousand people have been arrested in New York for marijuana possession -- the vast majority of those arrests, 440,000, took place in New York City. Last year alone in the City, there were nearly 40,000 such arrests, far exceeding the total marijuana arrests in the city between 1981 and 1995. The cost to taxpayers is $75 million a year, and over $600 million in the last decade. A
report released earlier
this week found that the NYPD had spent one million hours making these arrests over the past decade.
"Behind the one million police hours spent arresting young Black and Latino men is the shameful truth of 21st Century racism. These are unlawful, racially biased arrests, plain and simple. We need our elected officials to stand up for civil rights for all people" said Chino Hardin, Field Coordinator and Trainer with the

Pendleton x Nike N7 Collection
October 22nd, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 17 comments
This year's Nike N7 collection will see the company link up with another Oregonian brand-Pendleton. That source of woolen goods created a special blanket for this year's collection, with sales of the item benefiting the American Indian College Fund. The blanket's patterns are used throughout the collection-even hitting on the Nike Air Force 1 High and WMNS Nike Roshe Run pairs that make up the footwear end of the capsule. Continue reading to get a complete look at the Pendleton x Nike N7 Collection, release date October 26th, as well as break downs of the charity set up and each of the items included.
Nike has gone in direct competition against Adidas' new Aztec print range, but I like this, those AF1's are dope.
@schopes no competition! adidas hell ugly. this isn't Aztec either its Pendleton wool inspired by Indians from oregan...no where close to mexico.
@SockandSole Good thing I only wear a men's size 9, fortunately there's a women's 10.5
@SockandSole because originally roshe runs were designed as womens running shoes and gained popularity with men.
Hey @maxbags I'm gonna let you finish, but the designer of the Roshe Run never said anything about it being a women's only shoe at the beginning. http://www.howtomakeit.com/2012/04/exclusive-the-story-behind-the-nike-roshe-run/
And while I'm on a researching role... If you go to: http://sneakernews.com/tag/nike-roshe-run/page/22/ here on sneaker news it shows that the first designs of the Roshe Run were created for both Men & Women.
