Only the Turkish-Islamic Union Can Halt the Bloodshed
Follow @harun_yahya
The persecution in East Turkestan over the last week is not the first that our Muslim brothers have been confronted by. Our East Turkestani brothers have been subjected to all kinds of maltreatment for the last 60 years and live under unbelievable repression. Muslims have been slaughtered in Palestine for some half a century. They live the lives of exiles in their own land. Reports of deaths flood in from Iraq on an almost daily basis. Our Kirkuk brothers live in constant fear of death. Muslims in Crimea are trying to survive under the harshest of conditions. The blood of Muslims is shed almost every day in Afghanistan, and thousands of Muslims have become refugees in their own country in Pakistan. Only recently, Bosnian Muslims were subjected to ruthless genocide in the heart of Europe, before the very eyes of the world. Prisons in many countries are full of Muslims arrested because of their ideas and faiths. These sufferings, killing, troubles and woes are nothing new. Muslims have been ruthlessly oppressed for around a century now.
This corruption and bloodshed can be brought to an end only by the establishment of the Turkish-Islamic Union. The Turkish-Islamic Union is the clear and certain solution, the salvation of Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, East Turkestan, the Crimea, Kirkuk and Moro.
Executioners of Uyghurs, The World in Horror (Sabah Daily, July 8, 2009), Here's the massacre, Massacre Headed to kill (Yenisafak Daily, July 8, 2009), Savagery (Yenisafak Daily, July 8, 2009), The massacre's photograph (Türkiye Daily, July 8, 2009)
It is essential for the Turkish-Islamic Union to be established for the shedding of Muslim blood to stop, for the poverty in Islamic countries to come to an end, for the disorder, anarchy and terror in the Turkish Islamic region to be completely eliminated and for a peaceful, secure, prosperous and enlightened civilization to be built.
It is impossible for a disunited Islamic world to protect Muslims from coming to harm. Only when the Muslim world, with its 1 billion or so population, will not a hair on the head of a single Muslim anywhere be harmed.
Only in Turkey is there any condemnation of the repression taking place in East Turkestan. But if the Turkish-Islamic Union is founded and the whole of this enormous region condemns Chinese persecution, then that persecution cannot continue.
It is not the burning of Chinese goods that will put a stop to Chinese repression. Experience shows that such measures produce no results. The only way to achieve results is the foundation of the Turkish-Islamic Union. A united Turkish-Islamic world will be an extremely deterrent and effective force.
Unity lies at the heart of Islamic moral values. Allah reveals in the Qur'an, in the words
"…If you do not act in this way (do not help one another and become friends) there will be turmoil in the land and great corruption." (Surat al-Anfal, 73)
that believers must be friends and allies, united and unified, for the corruption in the world to come to an end. The Turkish-Islamic world must demand this union. Failure to demand union means demanding division instead, and division is of no use to the Turkish-Islamic world. Muslims' strength, power and best interests all lie in unity.
The world needs peace, love, solidarity and justice
And that is the mission that the Turkish-Islamic Union will assume when it is set up. This union will exist to bring peace to the world, not to be an instrument of hostility, vengeance or menace. This union will not be one based on oppression and repression along the lines of "everyone must be subjects to us, and anyone who does not must be enslaved."
The Turkish-Islamic Union is a union of love
It is a union of affection, a union of hearts. The bases of this union are love, altruism, helping others, compassion, tolerance and understanding. The aim of the union is also to achieve the highest levels in respect for human beings and in art, science and technology. Once the union is established, not just Turkish societies and Muslims, but the whole world, will attain enlightenment.
The Turkish-Islamic Union will ensure full freedom of worship, belief, opinion and expression
Members of all faiths will be able to worship as they wish, to visit all the sacred sites of their faith, and the goods, lives and honor of people of whatever opinions or beliefs will be guaranteed by the Turkish-Islamic Union.
Unity will bestow a huge power on the Turkish-Islamic world
When the Turkish-Islamic world is united, there will be no possibility of Muslims being persecuted, denigrated, oppressed are slaughtered, and such things will never even cross anyone's mind.
With the founding of the Turkish-Islamic Union, America, Europe, China, Russia, Israel and in short the whole world will breathe easier
Terror will come to an end, distribution of raw materials will be guaranteed, the economic and social order will be protected and cultural conflicts will disappear entirely. America will no longer have to send troops to lands thousands of kilometers away, Israel will no longer live behind walls, the countries of the EU will encounter no economic barriers, Russia will have no more security concerns and China will have no trouble finding raw materials.
The Turkish-Islamic Union will cause regeneration throughout the Muslim world
Thanks to the Islamic common market to be set up, products from one country will be easily marketed in another, without becoming caught up in quotas or national frontiers. Trade zones will grow, all Muslim countries will enjoy an increase in market share, exports will rise, leading to an acceleration of industrialization in Muslim countries, and economic development will lead to technological advances.
A Turkish-Islamic world with a powerful economy will be a major cause of prosperity for the Western world and other societies.
These societies will find a power with which they can co-operate and engage in mutual trade with no feelings of concern. In addition, the funds that Western institutions and organizations constantly pour in for the region to regenerate will no longer be required, and these funds will be used to strengthen the global economy instead.
There is no obstacle to the establishment of the Turkish-Islamic Union. All that is needed is the will to unite. This union must be genuinely desired, and Muslims must treat one another with love, understanding, humility, affection and compassion, never forgetting the fact they are all brothers.

How many unions does it take to make a movie?
MICHAEL KINSLEY delivers a persuasive plea against the now-common practice of states dangling subsidies in front of filmmakers to lure their glamourous creative efforts, and the substantial spending that comes with it, to their proud patch of America. In particular, Mr Kinsley sticks it to Bill Richardson, the former governor of New Mexico, for sticking up for this ludicrous form of regressive redistribution despite the lean times. Writes Mr Kinsley:
Richardson says that the film and TV subsidy has brought "nearly $4 billion into our economy over eight years" and has created 10,000 jobs. By "our," he means New Mexico. He says every state should emulate this success.
But of course every state cannot do that because it essentially is a "beggar thy neighbor" strategy. Some of the movies that have been bribed to locate in New Mexico would have been made in New Mexico anyway. That part of the subsidy is a total waste. Most of the movies that have come to New Mexico for the subsidy would otherwise have been made in other states. New Mexicans may not care if the citizens of those states lose out, but inevitably those other states respond with subsidies of their own and New Mexico gets beggared along with everybody else.
In any event, Richardson's statistical claims are suspect, to say the least. He would not win an Oscar for math. ...
Taking the whole zero-sum subsidy game into account, the only sure winners are Harvey Weinstein and his ilk, who need your money like you need 25 pounds. What's more, the film and TV incentives racket is a hotbed of corruption. Mr Kinsley points us to this report by Robert Tannewald, an economist at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which points out the scandalously dodgy accounting states use to justify their taxpayer-bilking incentive programmes. But the corruption doesn't end at cooking the books.
Here in the Hawkeye state, the state government's film office got itself into a bit of a pickle playing fast and loose with tax credits for filmmakers. As a consequence, the programme was shut down and "Cedar Rapids", a comedy about an insurance conference set in, yes, Cedar Rapids, was filmed in Michigan. As Ed Helms, the star of "Cedar Rapids", summarised the matter: "Some guy was making a shitty movie in Iowa and bought a Range Rover using their tax credits." Or something like that. Despite the dreadful chill that comes of seeing an ersatz City of Five Seasons on the silver screen, the Iowa film-office scandal had a happy ending—for Iowans at least. Iowa's once and current governor, Terry Branstad, seems to have no plans of restarting it. Anyway, downtrodden Michigan taxpayers are probably too numb by now to feel another kick.

Wow!! thank you,at last a point of view that does not believe that the film industry and the 'arts' have a God given right to subsidies and tax breaks just because they made films etc?
If you think subsidizing films is bad in America then take a trip across the pond.The European film industry is awash with tax €€ euro's for the film industry. Its simple,write a crappy film script that's considered 'arty' and you get a mountain of cash thrown at you?
very kinky oneaegis. question, can we bring in an asian midget?
Do be quite honest, I could really use £25.
I generally hate these subsidies too, but there is a kernel of rationale to them. It's not always a zero-sum game between the states. All too often, those states are competing with other countries, especially Canada, where much US entertainment production has migrated for cost reasons. So there may be a case for some American production subsidies, though they should be available uniformly anywhere in the US, not at the state level.
I'm waiting for a "The Producers" derivative to come out that demonstrates that film producers can earn more money making terrible movies, milking taxpayers and investors alike, than by actually making good films.
That's how you make money in today's America; put on a pretty dress and heels and dance for the oligarchs, hoping they'll dribble some gravy on the floor you can lap up later. But don't worry, in a hundred years or two the 3rd world will have grown to a similar level as us and we can finally reap the rewards.
Only the state legislatures would dangle cash - via subsidies - to attract crack addicts.
Makes me wonder if there are more addicts in Hollywood or the state legislatures.
This posting really needed more discussion about climate change and unions.
Actually @willwilkinson has more on state movies subsidies because @EconEconomics posted his this morning. #ModeledBehavior
RR, the more I think about it, the better I like this. I can't think of a better pro-growth levy than replacing the income tax with a duty on all the money you didn't make.
"Draw the curtain on ALL subsidies".
There, fixed it for you.
RR, brilliant. Kind of a Dorgan Amendment for Hollywood. I see a day coming when we'll be taxed only on the economic transactions we don't undertake.
Congress should permit states to tax out-of-state movies that received subsidies. The proceeds can be used to subsidize unsubsidized movies. The hope is that the threat of retaliatory taxes would be enough to prevent subsidies in the first place.
Now if Branstad can just keep his highway patrolcar purchasing above board, he'll be halfway to right.

Frankly I'm getting tired of the selection of the leader of the first cult of Christendom. It has gotten so far away from the original intent of the church Jesus Christ brought into being and founded by 12 apostles and many disciples of our Lord.
The Roman Catholic Church has adopted the worship of other persons is off the wall. The worship and veneration of Mary, the mother of Jesus. and other so-called saints was to give the early Romans who worshiped multiple gods a feeling of inclusiveness.
Why the Catholic Churck does not allow their priests to marry is beyond me. Many of the apostles were married (including Peter, the one the Catholic Church calls its first pope).
The Roman Catholic Churck and the Eastern Orthodox have many of the same failings in getting so far away from the way the early New Testament church operated.
The Catholic Church has many phony titles: pope, cardinal, archbishop, etc. Most of the titles in the New Testament times were not individual but one person sometimes fulfilled more than one role. For example, pastor and bishop meant nearly the same thing.
Real Christians are "born again," finding that they were lost and steeped in sin. When individuals found that Jesus had died to give them a new life, they repented, asked God's forgiveness, confessed their belief in Jesus Christ as their savior and were baptized for the forgiveness of their sinful way. They become "born again" into a new life and are filled with the Holy Spirit.

Business Summer Camp
Many high school students remain uncertain about what field of study they will pursue in college until last minute.
Especially, there is a general lack of knowledge about the career opportunities in business fields and what type of college education will prepare them for these opportunities. In order to help these students make better choices, the Widener University School of Business Administration is preparing four types of educational programs for high school students. Through these programs, we would like to introduce these students to the opportunities that lie ahead in the field of business while at the same time exposing them to some college learning experience.
Summer Business Camp Offered July 8-11, 2013
During last year's Summer Camp, Dr. Joe Hargadon and members of the SBA faculty conducted a highly interactive event. Each day the students learned how to start a business. They bought supplies, learned about income statements, and got a taste of what it was like to be a young entrepreneur.
Highlights of the week include:
- Learn about Financial Literacy
- Design a website
- Team work at dollar stores to buy supplies for sales at University Center
- Selling products at Widener University
- Bowling in Teams
- Tour of PPL Park to see where the Philadelphia Union MLS team plays
- Presentations to parents and quests
- Application
- Registration — Please RSVP by June 14th 2013
- Print the Agenda

Snowmaking Update
November 8, 2013 8:17am snowmakingwinteropeninghome
It's about to go down. Snowmaking is slated to start November 15th.
Don't know about you, but we're really excited for the 13/14 season to get started at Q Burke and that excitement is going to reach a whole new level once we start to fire up the snow guns. If Mother Nature cooperates, we're targeting November 15th to get going. We've been showing the love to our snowmaking system recently - last year we added more guns. This year? More power. Thanks to the recent approval of the interruptible service tariff by the Vermont Public Service Board in conjunction with the Lyndonville Electric Department, we've doubled our available power for snowmaking. We''ll spare you all the nuts and bolts details, but the bottom line is that more power + more guns = more snow. And we don't think we need to tell you that more snow is awesome.

As we head into the tail end of the winter, it should be no secret that we are enjoying the best conditions of the season right now. It is hard to believe that most of the winter is already behind us, which is even more reason to make a trip to Burke this month and enjoy the great snow conditions and weather. It has been a very busy season so far with a lot of ups and downs, coupled with news and excitement about the future of Burke Mountain. I will save my year in review post until after we close in mid April, but would like to take the opportunity now to introduce two new faces you have probably read about in local press and Burke media, seen around the mountain, and hopefully have had a chance to meet.

Local resident impressed with another Battle Days
Dear Editor,
I would like to applaud the efforts of the Battle Days Memorial Committee for a wonderful weekend of educational fun and history for the citizens of Point Pleasant.
I have been a resident of the city for many years now, and I have been to Battle Days many times. I am so amazed at the planning that went into the celebration and memorial of the battle and the new and different ways the event was portrayed to the general public. The committee took an old story, and told it in a new and different way that was so fresh and new.
The "Theater in the Round" was a great experience, and I hope they do it again next year. I also wanted to express my appreciation to the committee for donating all the straw bales they purchased to use for the celebration to our local animal shelter. Not only did they give to the public this weekend a wealth of knowledge and entertainment, they will also continue to give back to the community by helping our shelter care for our furry friends who cannot take care of themselves.
Wonderful people! Wonderful community service, and I, for one, thank you!
Cathy Neville,
Point Pleasant, W.Va.

Assessor/s: | Georgina Santos-Barrera, Marvalee Wake, John Measey, Mark Wilkinson |
Reviewer/s: | Global Amphibian Assessment Coordinating Team (Simon Stuart, Janice Chanson, Neil Cox and Bruce Young) |
Justification: Listed as Vulnerable because of a population decline, estimated to be possibly more than 30% over the last ten years, inferred from observed decline at known sites, shrinkage in distribution, and habitat destruction and degradation. |
Range Description: | This species is found on the Atlantic slope of southeastern Mexico and disjunctive in eastern Guatemala and northwestern Honduras. It also occurs patchily on the Pacific slope from Oaxaca, Mexico, through Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras to central Nicaragua. It ranges from near sea level to 1200m asl. |
Countries: | Native: El Salvador; Guatemala; Honduras; Mexico; Nicaragua |

Population: | This species was once common in parts of its range, it is now much diminished in areas of previous abundance (such as near San Marcos, Guatemala) (Marvalee Wake pers. comm., 2007). It is possible that this species may have declined considereably more than 30% over the past ten years or three generation, this is likley to be a conservative estimate (Marvalee Wake pers. comm., 2007). There have been no new records for in Veracruz and Tabasco since around the 1950s, although there has been limited collecting in these areas (Marvalee Wake pers. comm., 2007). |
Population Trend: | Decreasing |
Habitat and Ecology: | This species lives in humid to dry soils beneath leaf-litter, logs, banana or coffee leaves and hulls or similar ground cover. In El Salvador it is present in dry forest and savanna between sea level and 900m asl (Köhler et al., 2006). It is adaptable to secondary habitats. It is a viviparous species. |
Systems: | Terrestrial |
Major Threat(s): | It is an adaptable species but threatened by habitat loss, and changes in agricultural methods (such as the transformation of shaded coffee plantations to open plantations). It is confused with snakes in some areas, and so it persecuted locally. It sometimes appears in the international pet trade, but not at a level to constitute a threat to the species. |
Conservation Actions: | It occurs in many protected areas. This species is protected by Mexican law under the "Special Protection" category (Pr). |

< Return To Hearing
Ms. Kathleen Jaeger
President and CEO
Testimony Before the Chairman Gregg and Ranking Member Kennedy, Chairman Hatch and Ranking Member Leahy, I am Kathleen Jaeger, President and CEO of the Generic Pharmaceutical Association. On behalf of GPhA and its members, we thank you for this opportunity to testify on ways we can partner with you to strengthen our response to bioterrorism threats against America. I want to assure Members of both Committees, as well as all Americans, that the generic pharmaceutical industry stands ready to serve in any way to help our nation address the threat of terrorism. The members of the generic pharmaceutical industry represent a powerful production engine that can be - and is being -- brought to bear to respond to and defend against bioterrorism attacks. Our ability to manufacture and distribute safe and effective pharmaceutical products is unmatched. We are here to support the Administration, the Congress, first responders, and the American people in the preparation for an event or in response to biological, chemical, or nuclear assault. In my testimony today, I plan to talk briefly about the strong foundation program set forth in BioShield I and identify the provisions of S. 666 that could, if enacted, build on that strong foundation in a positive fashion. I also will address the four provisions of S. 666 which would have unfortunate negative spillover effects on the health care system as a whole, potentially resulting in tens of billions of dollars in needless spending. GPhA is committed to working with you to strengthen BioShield I in ways that will accelerate 1) reverse current law that enables the timely introduction of generic drugs; 2) create a "wild card exclusivity" that will unnecessarily cost healthcare providers and consumers billions of dollars; 1 The term "novel" as used throughout this document means new molecular entities and new and modified vaccines. 3) excessively and unnecessarily increase market exclusivity on nearly any drug that can be broadly defined as a "countermeasure" --- again adding unneeded and unsupportable costs; and 4) create open-ended patent extensions for broadly defined countermeasures - that may or not be developed and manufactured for the government. We believe that legislation to ensure that America is fully prepared for any threat must not become the vehicle for special interest proposals that will throw the competitive pharmaceutical market out of balance. We support efforts to strengthen BioShield I in a manner that meets the dual challenge our nation currently faces. First, we must preserve the security of our nation in a time of terrorist threat. Second, we must simultaneously ensure that America's healthcare system can meet the immediate need for more affordable medicine for all consumers. Both of these challenges must be kept in balance, as we seek to further strengthen BioShield I. A. Generic Industry Background To provide context to our testimony, GPhA represents manufacturers and distributors of generic pharmaceutical products, manufacturers and distributors of bulk active pharmaceutical chemicals, and suppliers of other goods and services to the generic pharmaceutical industry. In the 20 years since the enactment of the Hatch-Waxman Act, generic drugs have come to be widely accepted as the therapeutic equivalents of brand-name drugs, and the resultant savings have totaled hundreds of billions of dollars. More than 51% of the American prescriptions last year were filled with affordable generics; yet, generics represent less than 8% of the total pharmaceutical expenditures for last year. Patients rely on generics to improve their lives, and the nation relies on generics to help keep U.S. health care affordable. Among the many products that our members produce are generic antibiotics that CDC has identified as drugs of choice for treating many of the diseases listed as possible targets for countermeasures. And because we are leading producers of pharmaceutical products based on number of doses manufactured each year, our member companies can and should be considered as a valuable resource in responding to any widespread bioterrorist threat to Americans. I. Building on the Strengths of BioShield I Since the terrible events of September 11th three years ago, and the subsequent introduction of anthrax spores into the U.S. mail, the nation has been shocked into recognition of our vulnerability in the face of possible terrorist incidents involving biological, chemical, and nuclear materials or agents. There is general consensus that our arsenal of vaccines, diagnostic tools and other biomedical countermeasures to combat such threats is seriously deficient. 2 Generic pharmaceutical products are used to fill over one billion prescriptions each year, yielding savings The enactment of BioShield I (P.L. 108-276) in July of this year was a watershed event in the nation's preparation to meet such threats. This landmark legislation, proposed by the President and sponsored by Senator Gregg, gives the federal government many of the tools needed to stimulate research, research on, and development and production of novel biomedical countermeasures. It enables the Secretary of HHS to expedite the procurement and simplify the acquisition of countermeasures, and empowers the Secretary to declare emergencies and take steps to get needed countermeasures to affected members of the public. The new law enables the Secretary to make available during emergencies specific drugs and other biomedical countermeasures that have not yet been approved for general consumption. In many ways, Project BioShield exemplifies what can result when the federal legislative process works best. It is well crafted and carefully thought out. It establishes direct accountability to designated Congressional committees and mandates a follow-up GAO report. This legislation emphasizes the best features of government procurement and contracting in preparing the nation to meet biomedical threats. And, already, we are seeing representatives of the pharmaceutical industry, the federal government and academia responding to the new law's incentives and call for action. Nonetheless, even prior to the enactment of Bioshield I, questions arose about possible shortcomings, especially with respect to product liability concerns associated with necessary biomedical countermeasures. Fortunately, S. 666, the legislation before you today, includes several key provisions that could potentially strengthen Project BioShield. II. The Promising Provisions of S. 666 (Extension of Bioshield I) We believe that four provisions of S. 666 look promising in that they may offer significant incentives for enhancing our readiness as a nation. First, S. 666 responds to onerous product liability concerns that could hinder product development and production. The legislation as proposed would extend the protections of the Smallpox Emergency Personnel Protection Act of 2003 to the approved countermeasures under this legislation. Such a measure could help reassure both investors and manufacturers by reducing their legal risk from involvement at all stages in the development, production, and distribution of qualified biomedical countermeasures. Second, S. 666 provides additional tax credits and tax incentives to encourage investment in countermeasures. This provision could provide more attractive incentatives to small to medium size companies, as well as help attract the venture capital for smaller start-up firms who could research, develop and produce novel countermeasure agents. Third, S. 666 provides for FDA "fast track" review of countermeasures falling under the agency's jurisdiction. This provision will help expedite the review, approval and availability of needed countermeasures in a timely fashion. Finally, S. 666 establishes a Terror Weapon Countermeasures Purchase Fund with authorization for expanded funding for procurement of countermeasures. This provision could furnish pre-production payments to those developing countermeasures, yielding fiscal stability which is of a particular concern of smaller companies. Each of these provisions builds on the strong foundation laid by Project BioShield. Each is clearly linked to promoting the development and production of needed biomedical countermeasures. None of these has any apparent negative consequences for other actors in the health care or security arenas. It is important to note that when S. 666 was introduced, BioShield I had not yet been enacted. In the interim period, it has become clear that minor revisions will strengthen its implementation. GPhA encourages Congress to consider extending Bioshield I to include one or more of these promising concepts. II. The Harmful Provisions of S. 666 Four of the provisions contained in S. 666 as proposed would create substantial opportunities for special interests to game the system and would establish loopholes that will harm, rather than help, American consumers. In fact, many of these loopholes previously have been proposed by special interests over the past 20 years in an effort to delay or prevent generic competition for brand name drugs. Each time, these proposals have been defeated and the best interests of American consumers have prevailed. In addition, given that many barriers to the more timely introduction of generic drugs were closed as part of the Medicaid Reform Act of 2003, it is alarming that they now appear attached to legislation whose goal is and should be American preparedness. GPhA believes that Congress cannot allow the approval of S. 666 because the bill is overly broad in that fails to: (1) require research on, and development and manufacturing of novel countermeasure agents for purposes of receiving incentives under the bill; (2) set research, development and manufacturing priorities for countermeasure agents; and (3) require deliverables either in the form of disseminating the research or producing product for stockpiling. Moreover, S. 666 includes four seriously harmful provisions that will penalize consumers to the tune of billions of dollars in lost pharmaceutical savings, in the name of preparedness. These four provisions alone will create devastating effects on the current healthcare system by: undermining the balance of Hatch/Waxman Amendments; increasing the incentive for brand pharmaceutical manufacturers to participate marginally in bioterrorism research while reaping "wild card exclusivity" for any drug of their choosing, whether related to bioterrorism or not; and/or providing patent extensions and exclusivity that are ill-advised and open-ended. 3 GPhA is analyzing the antitrust provision and its implications as set forth in S. 666, and would be pleased There is no question that these four provisions will generate higher drug costs. They will impede access to affordable generics. They will pose major economic challenges to already overburdened private and public third party payers, including employers, insurers, consumers and such government programs as Medicare and Medicaid. The damage to an already fragile healthcare environment could hardly be more ill-timed, given growth in the number of uninsured Americans, serious deficits in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, soaring health insurance premiums, and the numerous other crises facing the healthcare system. Let me discuss each of these provisions individually. A. Generic Industry Penalty Provisions First, S. 666 contains two generic industry penalty provisions which strike at the heart of the Hatch-Waxman Act - legislation that created the generic pharmaceutical industry and permitted the generation of tens of billions of dollars in prescription drug savings every year. The first generic penalty that threatens our nation's healthcare system would grant a brand product a five-year market extension added to a patent term or other exclusivities when a generic company files an application containing the requisite patent certifications in accordance with the Hatch-Waxman Act. This provision essentially repeals the Bolar Amendment, which for two decades has enabled generic manufacturers to develop a generic in advance of the expiration of the patents on a brand product as long as this use is reasonably related to meeting FDA approval requirements. Bolar allows generic manufacturers to develop their product so that it can be marketed immediately upon the expiration of the brand product patents. If the filing of a generic product application is allowed to trigger an automatic market extension, the introduction of competitively priced generic drug will be delayed by five years. This generic penalty provision will condemn American consumers to the payment of higher brand prices with little benefit to bio-terrorism preparedness. Yet lost savings is not a prerequisite for ensuring America's safety against bio-terrorism threats. In addition, another penalty that would be imposed under S. 666 will penalize generic manufacturers who attempt to challenge the patents of brand-name manufacturers and fail. Today, if a patent challenge fails in court, the brand product continues to be patent protected. Under S. 666, the failure by a generic company to succeed in a patent challenge will have the additional effect of granting the brand company an unearned extension of five years of market exclusivity. The intent of the patent challenge component of Hatch/Waxman was to create a mechanism for challenging suspect patents, with consumers receiving the benefit of immediate savings if the generic company prevailed. Taxol is the best example of the value of the patent challenge process. By proving that the patents protecting this product were invalid, the generic industry delivered more than $11 billion in savings to American consumers. Not only would this penalty create a significant disincentive for generic patent challenges, it would penalize consumers. The following two examples clearly define the penalties generic companies will face, and for which the public will have to pay. It must be understood that the trigger, the filing of a generic application with patent certification, is required by federal law for all generic applications. Therefore, the mere filing of a generic product application under current law is an automatic trigger for exclusivity extensions. In the first scenario, under S. 666, a patent on a brand product has expired. When the generic company files its application with FDA for this product, which is no longer has patent protection, it must certify that the patent has expired. This certification will trigger a five-year exclusivity extension. Brand companies will be able to resurrect exclusivity on drugs no longer under patent protection. Under the second scenario, the filing of an application for a generic version of a brand product with a certification that provides that the generic company is waiting to market its product until after patent expiry results in a five year exclusivity extension for the brand product. In other words, this filing, part of the current generic application process and required by federal law, automatically triggers additional five years of exclusivity under S. 666. Unless these penalties are removed from S. 666, the effort by Congress to strengthen our nation's responsiveness to bioterrorism will in effect create a mechanism that resurrects exclusivity or extends patents. We will, in the name of preparedness, have dismantled any opportunity to continue to provide American consumers with drugs they can afford in a timely manner. B. Wild Card Exclusivity The second negative provision of S. 666 is the so-called wild card exclusivity. Under this provision, a brand name manufacturer that conducts research on a possible biomedical countermeasure--or acquires such research more than one year before certification -- receives an incentive of two years of additional market exclusivity on any drug it chooses. There are two significant problems with this provision. First, the bill offers no benchmark on the dollar magnitude of the investment in research or acquisition of research. A de minimis investment in research could buy a brand company billions of dollars in unearned revenue on any of its blockbuster drug products. Second, this "wild card" exclusivity adds significant uncertainty regarding access to affordable medicines for our nation's healthcare system. An example makes this clear. Patent 1 for blockbuster drug L is scheduled to expire in two years and the product itself is not eligible for any patent extensions or marketing exclusivity. In preparation for the patent expiry, generic companies invest in the research, development, FDA approval and production of generic versions of Product L. They receive FDA approval and are prepared to launch generic product L upon the patent's expiration. Two weeks prior to launch, the innovator applies its "wild card," gained as a result of perhaps a minimal investment in development of a countermeasure on a totally different product. Consumers, government, and private insurers will unexpectedly and unnecessarily have to continue to pay high monopoly prices for the expensive, brand name product, which has no relation to bioterrorism protection. This wild card exclusivity represents the worst sort of cross-subsidy, essentially taking money from those who must pay for the drug, in the form of higher out-of-pocket costs, higher copayments, increased health insurance premiums or higher costs to government purchasers. This provision hurts all Americans with little benefit to national safety. Thus, the wild card concept must be removed, because it creates an unbalanced incentive for insubstantial investments in counterterrorism measures. If we do not remove this wild card from S. 666, we will be giving a blank check to brand phrma payable against the American public. C. Extended Market Exclusivity The third negative provision of S. 666 increases brand product market exclusivity in three instances for most of today's commercially marketed drug products. One component of this provision would increase the period of market exclusivity from five to 10 years for any new molecular entity with as little as one identified use as a biomedical countermeasure. The second component grants an additional 7 years of market exclusivity (up to 10 years) for a new use or dosage form of an existing marketed drug that can be used as a broad countermeasure agent. Further, it extends orphan drug exclusivity for broad countermeasures from 7 to 10 years. Finally, this component of S.666 extends the period during which generic manufacturers would be prevented from filing abbreviated drug applications from 4 to 9 years after the period of market exclusivity began. It is important to understand that market exclusivity is independent of the term of a drug's patent. These extensions of market exclusivity could thus work to lengthen the period of monopolistic pricing by these brand drugs and obstruct the entry of lower cost generics into the market for longer periods. While it may seem ridiculous, the case can be made that any product could be granted additional exclusivity for something as simple as the conversion from a tablet to capsule dosage form, or liquid to solid dosage form. Or, if it could be shown that chemicals widely used, such as Zoloft® for depression, Plavix® for hear attacks, Effex® for anxiety, and Imitrex® for migraines, could play a role in treating the symptoms of a bioterrorism attack, additional exclusivity would be automatic under S. 666. D. Patent Extensions Fourth and finally, S. 666 provides open-ended patent extensions for broadly defined countermeasure agents for the full period of regulatory review, which is defined as the time from when the patent is issued to the date of FDA product approval. As drafted, the bill sets no limitations on the number of years for such patent extensions, nor are there any limitations on the number of patent extensions per product. In extreme cases, this provision could be used for drugs that have long been off patent but for which their use as a bioterrorism countermeasure has subsequently been identified. In such cases, these provisions of S. 666 could be used to reinstate patents for drugs, forcing generic alternatives off the market for unlimited number of years - which would equal the time in which the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) granted the patent until the time FDA approved a countermeasure use. This provision also duplicates patent extensions already granted by PTO to compensate for time spent in PTO review, effectively giving brand manufacturers "double indemnity." Lastly, extended monopolies of currently marketed products can serve as a disincentive to brand companies to perform new research and development, including research and development on novel countermeasure agents. Again, as we always point out, competition - not indefinite product monopolies -- spurs innovation and presents a win-win situation for all. In summary, the two provisions of S. 666 - the two penalties for generic manufacturers and the wild card exclusivity provision - that can harm consumers and delay access to more affordable generic medicines clearly have at best a tenuous linkage to the development and production of a novel countermeasure agent. The other two provisions--extensions of market exclusivity and patent extensions for the full period of regulatory review--are insufficiently defined under S. 666 and are so overly broad in that they apply to today's commercial marketed pharmaceuticals that they are ripe for widespread abuse. Clearly, all four of these provisions would inflate drug prices, impose major obstacles to the entry of generic drugs into the market, and worsen the crisis faced by every American who must pay for all or a substantial portion of his or her prescription drugs, including millions of the uninsured and older Americans. They serve little sound purpose for strengthening BioShield I, and in fact, exact an exorbitant price from American consumers for no additional protection from terrorism. These provisions should once again be left on the cutting room floor as Congress recognized when it passed Bioshield I the first IV. Appropriate Authority GPhA believes that certain provisions of S. 666 have the potential to strengthen the research on, and development and production of novel countermeasure agents. However, we question whether establishing authority for these provisions within Homeland Security is wholly appropriate. We suggest that the Department of Health and Human Services, which already has direct authority over such important agencies as CDC, FDA, NIH, and the Public Health Service, may be better equipped to execute the objectives of BioShield I and extension thereto. Similar to Bioshield I, S. 666 directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop a list of biological, chemical, and radiological agents that can be used as weapons of mass destruction and against which the development of new countermeasures is in the national security interest. Yet, the bill defines countermeasure agent as any drug product to treat, diagnose or prevent illness or conditions that are caused by being exposed to 55 overly broad possible target agents. Some of the identified agents are so ubiquitous that they are responsible for common infections found in tens of thousands of patients across this country each year, such as E.coli, Salmonella, etc. The bill needs substantial refinement if we are to adequately prepare this country for a potential bioterrorism event; rather, than providing a substantial windfall to the special interest of brand pharmaceutical companies. Again, Bioshield I sets forth sufficient criteria to establish what are novel countermeasure agents and the means of researching, developing, manufacturing and procuring novel countermeasure agents, as well as needed diagnostic and environmental detection and warning systems. Moreover, HHS, not Homeland Security, is the agency designated under Bioshield I to oversee this worthy and vitally important program. Certainly, more of the needed expertise and experience for developing countermeasures would seem to reside in HHS. We believe that the development of an appropriate definition of bioterrorism threats, and appropriate countermeasures, is a scientific one. We believe that the expertise to answer these questions, and develop an appropriate list of applicable countermeasures is unique to the Department of HHS and its agencies. Not placing this authority in the realm of science invites special interests to potentially "game the system" at the expense of Americans. We would propose that the responsibility for aligning America's brand and generic pharmaceutical industries to potential bioterrorism needs should remain with HHS. V. Future Role of Generic Biologics As an ancillary issue, we note with interest the provisions of S. 666 related to expansion of the nation's capacity to produce biologics. S. 666 directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct surveys of biologics manufacturing facilities and to determine whether additional facilities are needed. It also charges the Secretary with determining whether technical advances might boost the nation's biologics output capacity and lower the costs of biologics. In addition, the bill establishes a biologics manufacturing investment credit, and would even preempt state and local zoning laws to facilitate the location of biologics manufacturing facilities. GPhA shares the sponsors' concern about the nation's biologics manufacturing capacity and the costs of biologics. GPhA firmly believes that the time has come for the nation to actively explore ways in which generic firms might enter the biopharmaceutical field with similar price reductions to those which have accompanied the introduction of generic drugs. As Senator Hatch and members of the Judiciary Committee will recall, they held a hearing in June on the topic of "The Law of Biologic Medicine." Only last month, FDA held a public forum to discuss the science supporting generic biopharmaceuticals. Aggressively pursuing the creation of a regulatory process for generic biologics will address issues of manufacturing capacity and cost. GPhA believes that our members have the scientific, development and manufacturing expertise necessary assure the nation of a supply of affordable generic biologics to address the need for countermeasures against agents used by terrorists. VI. Summary GPhA and its member companies strongly support the common overarching goal of both Bioshield I and S. 666, namely: to ensure that America has an adequate supply of drugs and other products that would serve as countermeasures to attacks by terrorists using biological, Specifically, GPhA strongly supports exploring the concept of extending Bioshield I to include three features of S. 666: (1) reducing product liability exposure of pharmaceutical manufacturers, (2) providing additional incentives in the form of tax credits and public funding, and (3) "fast tracking" the approval by FDA of countermeasure drugs and other agents. GPhA also supports additional funding for federal countermeasure research for novel drugs, vaccines, diagnostic tools and environmental detection devices. GPhA, however, has grave concerns about four provisions of S. 666 that extend current patents, offer wild card exclusivity, penalize new generic drug development, and create unearned and unnecessary market exclusivity. These four provisions are extremely threatening to the economic viability of our nation's health care system. GPhA respectfully urges the joint committees, as Congress did the first time around, to drop these four anti-consumer, anti-competitive provisions from the debate relating to extension of Bioshield I. The responsibility of the Congress to protect American consumers extends beyond ensuring countermeasures for bioterrorism. It also includes ensuring that bioterrorism does not become the mechanism for economic disaster that rescinds the billions of dollars in savings this industry has created for American consumers. We must keep America safe from threat. But we must also ensure we do not threaten the health of consumers by placing life-saving prescription drugs once again out of their economic reach. Thank you. |

Clearplay: Watching movies on your own terms
There's a rich irony in Hollywood today. If you look at where Hollywood makes the most money, the vast majority of its cash comes from PG-13, PG, and G-rated films. R-rated films? It's hard to find any in a list of Hollywood's all-time highest grossing films at the box office.
Indeed, within the top-25 highest grossing films of all time, only one rated-R film even makes the list, The Matrix: Reloaded at number 28. If you include the top 50, only one other R-rated movie (two total) makes the list. In the top 100? Only 11 R-rated films.
So why are more and more movies (perhaps intentionally) laced with content that guarantees an R rating and poor attendance?
I don't know. I can't imagine it being anything other than a cynical, smug Hollywood attitude that insists on adding "that one scene" in the name of art, pretending that it knows what audiences really want.
For those interested in watching movies on their own terms, or who have children that you'd really like to see Saving Private Ryan, for example, but you think the gritty violence may be too much, you now have a choice.
It's called Clearplay, a 100-percent legal DVD player and software service that edits movies on the fly without actually altering the physical DVD. As such, it gets a free (but begrudging) free pass from the Directors Guild of America, which successfully sued into oblivion Cleanflicks and other DVD editing services (though it's still possible to buy edited DVDs online).
How does Clearplay work, and why would you want to use it?… Read more

Star Wars: Namitha vs. Mumaith Khan
Item bombs
Namitha is a conventional actress, who drives up the ticket sales of her ventures with glam-studded characters. She rarely picks up a film to only appear in an item number. If a film has her in an item song, there will be a scripted plot, which leads her to it.

Brad Pitt is now on China's version of Twitter, and it's going pretty well.
The actor's verified Sina Weibo account sent the message Monday: "It is the truth. Yup, I'm coming." That was forwarded more than 31,000 times and netted over 14,000 comments, many expressing surprise. He gathered more than 100,000 followers. As per IMDb.com, Pitt was banned from entering China because of his role in 1997's Seven Years in Tibet. The government was upset about the film's portrayal of harsh Chinese rule in Tibet.
Damage control
Justin Bieber is scrambling to turn around his image. The 18-year-old singer paid a special visit to a leukemia patient at Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City Saturday the day after pictures of him smoking what looked like pot hit the Web, according to Deseret News.
TMZ published pictures of the teen sensation smoking something resembling a marijuana cigarette in a Newport Beach, Calif., hotel room. Though the singer has yet to address the incident, he tweeted about "growing and learning" and bettering himself.
A source told Us Weekly Bieber's reps aren't "happy about how those photos were leaked" and are investigating.
Among those with Bieber in the hotel room was JB Twist. The Young Money rapper was reportedly behind the wheel of Justin's Ferrari when a paparazzo tailing the vehicle was hit by a car and killed last week.
On the tube
Jenny McCarthy says she's looking to Hugh Hefner's old Playboy After Dark as an inspiration for her new gig. The onetime Playmate will host a late-night talk show Fridays on VH1 starting Feb. 8. A party atmosphere is key. E.g., one segment she plans is the "groundbreaking interview," which is talking to guests while both are lying on the ground.
For the first time in 40 years, the host of the Academy Awards will help announce the Oscar nominations. Seth MacFarlane (along with Emma Stone) will reveal the nominees Thursday morning.
On his upcoming NBC family comedy, Michael J. Fox will play a newscaster who had quit his job due to Parkinson's Disease but returns to work in the show's first episode due to a new medical regimen. It mirrors the life of the former Family Ties star. Fox is meeting with actresses who may be cast as his wife.
One too many?
Thomas Gibson didn't end his weekend on a high note. LAPD Officer Cleon Joseph told the Associated Press the 50-year-old actor was arrested early Sunday after he drove through a barricade set up to keep cars off the course of a night run through downtown. Gibson was booked on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI; bail was set at $15,000.
Never-ending story
Lindsay Lohan's attorney predicts there will be no case against the actress in connection with an alleged fight at a NYC nightclub in November when she allegedly smacked Palm Beach psychic Tiffany "Ava" Mitchell. Attorney Mark Jay Heller spoke after signing paperwork at the courthouse Monday. Office of Court Administration spokesman David Bookstaver confirmed that a criminal complaint has not been drawn up at this time.

Mr. Lewis,
I walked the entire Brookeland Cemetery and found only one A. Hooks. I will post the picture of you wish, however, I don't know if this is her grave or not. It had no dates on it and was next to a larger stone with a Wlm. Hooks. Can't remember the entire name but will go back and double check now that I have the name Lakey attached to it. I did see a lot of those. Just let me know. Respectfully, ldo

Lewis graves on 712
I have searched the road up one side and down the other and have not found these graves. Some areas are very overgrown and apparently so since Mr. Pilson read the graves. I had someone else with me as well looking. Sorry. These are my ancestors as well.

RE: Edward Lewis Cemetery
Road #712 is Heidelback School Road. The road runs between Union Bridge Road and Iron Bridge Road near Elamsville. I was photographing cemeteries on this road in the last month and was unable to find the Lewis graves. Mr. Pilson stated that they were 1/2 mile north of the road near the old Billy Via home. I will be out there looking again the week of April 15th. It was bitter cold when I looked a few weeks ago. Your friend should beware of dogs in the area.

Just one other note, Elizabeth Groover's Archer children from first husband lived with her and Groover mother and siblings in 1850 and 1860. If you have info that Elizabeth Nelms also married an Archer first and had kids before marrying Cunningham, please let me know.

RE: Possible Mistaken Reading of 1880 Census
Who married James Cunningham, Elizabeth Nelms or Elizabeth Groover?
In 1880, a sister to head of house, the widow Elizabeth Cunningham was living with Sarah Groover Nelms and husband Elias Nelms. So can we automaticaly assume she was Elias' sister? We have to examine all other facts to make sure she wasn't Sarah's sister.
Elizabeth Nelms was born in 1833; she married Andrew Jackson Ricks in 1850 in Baker Co. GA. She lived with her parents the Nelms after her husband died.
Elizabeth Groover was born in 1820 like the woman on the census. There is a marriage record for James Cunningham to Elizabeth Archer for 1869 which was her name after her first marriage. Additionally James and Elizabeth Cunningham lived with Elizabeth Groover's mom in 1870. That would be odd if it wasn't her mom wouldn't it?
We have to look at more than just one record to verify relationships but I can see how that one census could be misleading if you hadn't looked further.
Thanks for your time.
Here is. great page for Nelms researchers in Georgia.

Frances Spurlock @ Forest Park Cemetery in Houston
I see you added a picture request for Frances Spurlock @ Forest Park Cemetery in Houston. If you would call the cemetery at 713-928-5141 and get a "SECTION" and "LOT" I will try to get the picture you want. This is a very large (225+) acre cemetery and without a location would be very hard to find.
Thank you,

I walked the whole cemetery down and couldn't find it. I asked a groundskeeper who happened to be there and she didn't know the name. I'll try again the next pretty day I get.
I did add to FindAGrave a Fred & Jennie McAllister that I ran across. If you would like for me to transfer them to you, let me know.

What is hepatitis?
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver. Inflammation causes soreness and swelling. Hepatitis can be caused by many things. Hepatitis is most commonly caused by one of the 5 hepatitis viruses (A, B, C, D or E). All types of hepatitis cause inflammation of the liver, which interferes with its ability to function. Lack of blood supply to the liver, poison, autoimmune disorders, excessive alcohol use, an injury to the liver and taking certain medicines can also cause hepatitis. Less commonly, viral infections such as mononucleosis or cytomegalovirus can cause hepatitis.
There are 2 main kinds of hepatitis, acute hepatitis (short-lived) and chronic hepatitis (lasting at least 6 months). If you have acute hepatitis, the liver might become inflamed very suddenly and you might have nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever and body aches. Or you may not experience any symptoms. Most people get over the acute inflammation in a few days or a few weeks.
Sometimes, however, the inflammation doesn't go away. When the inflammation doesn't go away in 6 months, the person has chronic hepatitis.
How does hepatitis affect the liver?
The liver breaks down waste products in your blood. When the liver is inflamed, it doesn't do a good job of getting rid of waste products. One waste product in the blood, called bilirubin (say "billy-roo-bin"), begins to build up in the blood and tissues when the liver isn't working properly. The bilirubin makes the skin of a person who has hepatitis turn a yellow-orange color. This is called jaundice (say "john-dis"). Bilirubin and other waste products may also cause itching, nausea, fever and body aches.
What is hepatitis C?
There are 5 viruses that cause hepatitis. Each hepatitis virus is named with a letter of the alphabet: hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D and hepatitis E. Hepatitis C is usually spread through contact with blood products. People who use intravenous (IV) drugs can get hepatitis C when they share needles with someone who has the virus. Health care workers (such as nurses, lab technicians and doctors) can get these infections if they are accidentally stuck with a needle that was used on an infected patient. You are also at a higher risk if you got a blood transfusion or an organ transplant before 1992 (improvements in blood-screening technology were made in 1992).
Most people don't feel sick when they are first infected with hepatitis C. Instead, the virus stays in their liver and causes chronic liver inflammation.
Most people who are infected with hepatitis C don't experience any symptoms for years. However, hepatitis C is a chronic illness (which means it doesn't go away). If you have hepatitis C, you need to be watched carefully by a doctor because it can lead to cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) and liver cancer.

Yesterday was a big day for UCLA football with a new commit, seniors showing off at Pro Day and Bruin alums in the NFL getting love (and $$)
Football's national signing day is now in the books and with UCLA's newest recruiting class locked in, BN takes a look at the class, the general feeling around the program, and asks whether Mora is ready to take the leap to the national elite.
On the final weekend of the drama that is college football recruiting, 3 student athletes from Louisiana are traveling to Westwood. There appears to be an questionable passenger making the same trip.
In the wacky world of college football recruiting, the Bruins are ready to host some big names on the final recruiting weekend. Meanwhile, Bruin linebackers are making names for themselves both on the playing field and the political/advocacy field.
BOOM! UCLA gets its most important recruit for the 2014 season as Quarterback Brett Hundley announces that he will return to Westwood for his redshirt junior season. Welcome - back - to Westwood, Brett!
Brought to you by "Bitch, Be Cool" body spray.
Musings for your weekend.
TCU previews, Huggs presser, women beat Kansas, WVU Pros updates, Big 12 roundup, weekend viewing guide & more.
The Texas coaching search is heating up seemingly by the minute and there's a new coach who has been in contact with Texas and a silly name brought back up again.
A happy Coach Mora speaks on the day before the Sun Bowl. He compliments the host city and Va Tech and Coach Beamer, and speaks of the "ton of respect" the Bruins have for the Hokie's players and coach. He also has some thoughts on Hundley's future with U.C.L.A.
