I Don't throught my children Parties

Spa party is an awesome idea, coincidentially, I taught a botanicals class for kids where they had a spa day. They made their own beeswax lip balm and hand oil, too.

October 15 2011 at 7:48 PM Report abuse Permalink +6 rate up rate down ReplyWonderful, how have you been lately.
October 15 2011 at 7:44 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyAdorable. My next-in-line sister's birthday was six days before Christmas and my mother was always looking for ways to have a party for her that was special, but wouldn't break the Christmas bank.
One way is to have an ornament making party. Craft stores will supply blown glass ornaments cheaply by that time and the kids can swirl paint inside, or roll them in white glue and glitter, or paint them. Wooden ornaments can be decorated, too. Pincer clothespins can be made into reindeer. Push clothespins can be made into elves, Santas, and Mrs. Claus. Take-out containers can be made into sleighs and filled with peppermints, hard tack, etc. Kids can have hot chocolate and Christmas cookies which they can help bake.
I do so miss having small children to enjoy parties like these with!
What a great Idea...!! I have 4 granddaughters thank you!!!
October 15 2011 at 7:44 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replyabsolutely untrue about the ear infections-my sons, husband and I have not had an ear infection since we stopped dairy. dairy causes a huge build-up of mucus where bacteria breed. Allergy compounds the problem with inflammation. no more ruptured eardrums!
October 15 2011 at 5:26 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyAfter having two daughters I had a son......& the Pediatrician at the time my son was growing up....he said: Boys are usually prone to Ear Infections because their Ear Canal doesn't tilt till puberty....Very Interesting.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Federal and state investigators on Thursday dismissed a Massey Energy assertion that the Upper Big Branch Mine Disaster was caused by a freak flood of methane gas that the company could do nothing to control.
Massey officials launched a public relations blitz focused on mine ventilation data they said showed "a sudden inundation of unusually high levels of methane gas," probably from a crack in the floor near the mine's longwall machine.
Government investigators said Massey's version of events doesn't add up, and criticized the Richmond, Va.-based coal giant for trying to divert blame in the worst U.S. mining disaster in 40 years.
"The effort to place blame on God or another person is not an uncommon practice after disasters, particularly in the mining industry," said Davitt McAteer, Gov. Joe Manchin's special investigator for the disaster. "But investigations have almost always led to the conclusion that it wasn't God who did it."
The U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration issued a statement noting that high methane liberation like that at Upper Big Branch would be expected in the hours after a major explosion, and reminded that Massey had been repeatedly cited for mine ventilation and related violations at Upper Big Branch prior to the disaster.
Twenty-nine miners died in the April 5 explosion, which mine safety experts have said was likely caused by the ignition of methane gas and was made far worse -- blasting through 2 1/2 miles of mine tunnels -- by the buildup of highly explosive coal dust.
The disaster is the focus of multiple civil investigations, a congressional probe, and prompted federal prosecutors to begin their own examination, looking for possible criminal wrongdoing related to hundreds of Upper Big Branch safety violations dating back more than four years.
Over the last few months, nonunion Massey has engaged in an aggressive public relations campaign to point fingers at MSHA. Joe Main, the United Mine Workers' longtime safety director, currently runs MSHA. The Obama administration has repeatedly blasted Massey as a scofflaw that puts profits ahead of worker safety.
In the midst of Massey's media blitz Thursday, MSHA released to reporters a memo by Greg Wagner, the agency's deputy assistant secretary, alleging that Massey's campaign is meant to "deflect the blame" and avoid "multimillion judgments" in wrongful death cases.
Early Thursday, Massey issued a news release and then held a telephone press conference to promote its theory about the disaster's cause, all just hours before company CEO Don Blankenship was to deliver a highly anticipated talk at the National Press Club in Washington.
"The politicians will tell you we're going to do something so this never happens again, and you won't hear me say that," Blankenship told reporters at that event. "Because I believe that the physics of natural law and God trump whatever man tries to do.
"Whether you get earthquakes underground, whether you get broken floors, whether you get gas inundations, whether you get roof falls, oftentimes they are unavoidable, just as other accidents are in society," Blankenship said.
During the company's press conference, Christopher Schemel, an engineer hired as a Massey consultant, explained that MSHA sampling, which started more than five hours after the 3 p.m. explosion, showed methane liberation from Upper Big Branch's main exhaust fan was at that point double its typical rate.
Schemel also showed reporters photos of a crack in the mine floor that Massey had previously disclosed as having been found near the mine's longwall machine, a potential ignition source.
"Given its location and physical characteristics, this area is of interest as a potential entry point for the entry of methane into this mine," Schemel said.

Extremely impressed with portion
size and service. Will definitely come back for other special occassions"
Dined on 3/7/2014
My friend and I were there for
dinner prior to a presentation at the Epcor Centre and we had excellent service from Colin. He was attentive, made fabulous recommendations on both food and wine and made sure our timing was monitored to ensure we made it to the performance on time. The restaurant was busy and energetic for a chilly evening. Always a great place and enjoyable experience."

Today, I went to Saltik for the
first time, anticipating the Big Taste menu. I have heard mixed opinions about Saltik; and I confirm that mixed feeling right at my first visit. The staff are very professionally dressed with uniforms, which is something I appreciate from a well managed establishment. However, the food service lacks points from food quality, presentation, and the service itself. The sirloin was correctly cooked to my reference. However, the sirloin i received was cold, missing both the butter and ketchup. I had to ask for the butter, then the ketchup. Very friendly and accommodating staff. With limited lunch time, I had to pack both my salad and desert with me back to the office."

I enjoy going to the Saltlik for
business lunches. The service is friendly and efficient and the food has always been very good."
Dined on 3/4/2014
We've been to Saltlika number of
times and it has always been great and this most recent time was no different. The food was great and the service was awesome. I highly recommend it. I loved my French Onion soup and peppercorn striploin, and my wife's CAB serloin was perfect!"

Amazingly cooked steak - def go
for the Chicago style. Will most definitely come here again!"
Dined on 2/27/2014
Waitress was very nice, attentive
without interfering. In fact all the staff seemed cheerful and helpful. Steaks were done to perfection. We took our own wine and found the corkage charge very reasonable."

Our group had calamari, steak,
salmon, tuna and salad. All great."
Dined on 3/1/2014
My brother introduced me to this
restaurant and I've loved it ever since. However, I went there recently and the ribeye was under salted, and the fries over salted. It is not the most child friendly restaurant. No high chair or childrens menu, and The food isn't quite modifiable for a child, unless you want to pay a fairly large price for salt and pepper seasoned items."
Dined on 3/1/2014
Our meal took a little longer than
expected but without even asking the manager came to our table and appoligizes and gave us our lunch for free. The food was excellent. That is excellent customer service!"
Dined on 2/28/2014
There are many places to dine in
Calgary, and it is sometimes hard to upset routine and try a different place for a change. I have to admit that it took me a couple of years to actually make a reservation here but I am very pleased that I did! It was a friends birthday, and he loves steak so we decided to give the place a try. The service was certainly the highlight and we were fortunate enough to have a server (Jackie...) who made the evening and meal most enjoyable. The food was very good and the guest of honour enjoyed the Peppersteak. I enjoyed the Halibut but would likely have Salmon next time. The Chicken Penne was very good, with an added side of Cheese Toast. Desserts were outstanding, all of them!!"
Dined on 2/22/2014
Staff are friendly. Welcoming. The
wait wasn't more than a few Minutes. The food was awesome. Wine was chilled slightly To perfection. Very nice. Felt a little underdressed. But That was us in jeans. Love it."

Great spot for a good steak, at
not a huge price. Very attentive wait staff. Would definitely recommend this restaurant"
Dined on 2/22/2014
The restaurant is in a great spot
and very nice inside. Our waiter was great. Very helpful and very considerate. The problem is it is one of those restaurants where they use the team server system where whoever is there brings food out. I ordered a steak with two types of side orders of vegetables. The vegetables must have been sitting ready for a while because they were cold when they came out. When I sent them back our waiter said the new ones should be ready soon. I think the same thing happened because when they came out again (brought by someone else) they were cold again. The same thing happened when I ordered espresso. It must have been ready for a while before someone brought it out because it was cool when I got it."
Dined on 2/22/2014
My wife and I had very enjoyable
experience for our anniversary. I enjoyed the service, the atmosphere and the food. We had a nice romantic dinner while others were enjoying family meals and still others looked to be having a meal before going out on the town."
Dined on 2/15/2014
Great food. Pricey wine
list...estimated mark up on or wine 250%. Service was excellent, but on a couple of occasions they attempted to remove plates when we were still eating. Lobster mashed potatoes to die for...literally as they were so rich I could feel my arteries hardening with each swallow."
Dined on 2/21/2014
The steak was great, the carpaccio
amazing, and the lobster mashed potatoes sinful."
Dined on 2/20/2014
The Saltlik is a great steakhouse.
The staff is wonderful, the food excellent but for some reason they were playing top 40 music and 90's stuff. Why? What crowd are you trying to appeal to? I understand there is no dress code but if you are charging fine dining prices please complete the deal and give me some ambiance to match."

Nice food, nice place. Nice for
the kids as well. Very nice waitress."
Dined on 2/16/2014
From sitting down to being able to
getting a drink took 40 mins. We weren't able to order food until after an hour. We had a bottle of wine and had to serve ourselves. Our waitress was MIA for most of the night. They were playing 80s pop music all night which didn't really fit the decor."
Dined on 2/15/2014
A reservation for 2 ppl Tuesday at
1pm a very friendly online site. A very busy restaurant, and initally placed in a busy open area. A change in location, to the back room with ample sunlight and the lunch crowd and noise reduced shortly after. The selection of wine/drinks limited per glass, but i was interested in the bottle section (maybe next time for a dinner event). The fried chicken sandwich is very large, and complimented with a sub salad. The second entre was a kale salad, very mild dressing and a variety of topping created a great texture. I was only disapppointed by the lack of kale ratio to the romaine, after asking for the details prior to ordering. Service was great and would definitely return/recommend to friends and family."
Dined on 1/28/2014
This is our favourite steakhouse
in the city - by far, no contest. The steaks are always well seasoned and cooked perfectly. We have never had anything here that we did not enjoy. Our favourite side is the lobster mashed potatoes - if you haven't tried it, you have to. The service is always good and you are never hounded during your meal nor are you forgotten. The setting is beautiful - not too dark or too bright, neutral tones, crisp art, perfect temperature, not too loud and enough space between tables. We were greated with smiles and friendly personalities throughout the evening. Great atmosphere. I wouldn't change a thing."
Dined on 2/14/2014
the food is fine but nothing out
of the ordinary. the wine list is OK. it simply isn't worth the price tag though, for the moderately good steak. better to spend an extra $10 per steak and move up to one of the primo steak houses downtown."
Dined on 7/23/2013
One of our fondest memories in
Calgary was our dinner here!"
Dined on 2/7/2014
Not being a huge fan of steak
houses, (I can cook a pretty great steak on my BBQ at home) I was not expecting to love this place. But it was a very welcome surprise on a frosty Sunday night. Warm, welcoming and an outstanding waiter made for a very pleasant experience. The French Onion Soup was excellent, and all other dishes were very good. Would recommend."
Dined on 2/9/2014
Pulled pork sandwich was very
spicy and flavourless. Ahi Tuna Salad was decent. I was at a business lunch and could neither hear anyone that I was eating with, nor be heard."
Dined on 2/5/2014
I likes the music they were
playing (lots of old rock) but it was way too loud. Conversation with my guests was difficult. At the end of the dinner I was getting anxious to go. Rating above of "energenic" make it sound positive, but not for me."
Dined on 2/5/2014
This was our first time to Saltlik
and it was a true gem. We were seated near a fireplace which was very romantic. The service was wonderful and the wait for our food was not long. Food was delicious. Steaks were cooked exactly to order."

Our group had an enjoyable dinner
prior to the Theatre."
Dined on 1/23/2014
I have been dining at Saltlik for
quite a few years and I have always been pleased with the quality of food and level of service. The only disappointment was their debit / credit terminals would not accept American credit cards. Will be returning for my regular visit in the future."
Dined on 1/28/2014
Food great as usual. Third time I
ate there and the experience is always good. Was a birthday and accomodated 14. I have had a better rib steak there in the past. Keep the quality up and your a winner. staff was kept busy. thanks"
Dined on 1/25/2014
We have eaten here many times
before and have never been disappointed. The food was fresh and delicious. The service outstanding, our server was attentive, friendly and helpful. We were time restricted as we needed to be out for a concert. Our server kept the pace very nicely without rushing but keeping us on time. I would highly recommend this restaurant."

I found the steak really chewy and
my fish was extremely dry..."
Dined on 1/25/2014
We enjoyed our dinner at this
restaurant and three of us had meals that were very good. My wife and I had steak - a filet and the bodacious ribeye - which were both very good. The side of mushrooms was excellent and complemented the meal well. Our guests had some good ribs but an overcooked fish. It was dry, and unfortunately, never got finished. The biggest challenge though was the service on drinks. While two of us ordered soft drinks with our appetizer, one never got refilled until almost 2/3 of the way through dinner and only after asking for it twice. Indeed, when we asked for it, we got a little bit of attitude from the staff. That became the talking point for the evening and was quite unfortunate. It spoiled a nice evening."

A 30-year-old man confessed today to being the subway psycho who "launched" an innocent straphanger into tracks, where he was killed by an oncoming Q train, law enforcement sources told The Post.
The suspect, Naeem Davis, was being questioned today in Manhattan, in connection to the grisly death of Ki Suk Han, 58, yesterday afternoon. The man was picked up on 50th Street near Seventh Avenue by a transit police captain, who was on a coffee break at 1:30 p.m. and ran over to grab him.
Davis confessed to shoving Han into tracks, though he's not been formally charged yet, law enforcement sources said.
Han, of Elmherst, Queens, desperately tried to scramble back to the platform as onlookers screamed, shouted and frantically waved their hands and bags in a bid to get the downtown Q train to stop at around 12:30 p.m.
The man being questioned by cops was identified as a 30-year-old street vendor from Queens, according to law enforcement sources.
Post freelance photographer R. Umar Abbasi -- who had been waiting on the platform of the 49th Street station -- ran toward the train, repeatedly firing off his flash to warn the operator.
"I just started running, running, hoping that the driver could see my flash," said Abbasi, whose camera captured chilling shots of Suk's tragic fight for his life.
The train slowed, but a dazed and bruised Han still wound up hopelessly caught between it and the platform as it came to a halt.
A shaken Abbasi said the train "crushed him like a rag doll."
"It's one of those great tragedies, it's a blot on all of us," Mayor Bloomberg said today. "And if you could do anything to stop it, you would. But the good news is it happens phenomenally rarely."
Dr. Laura Kaplan, a second-year resident at Beth Israel Medical Center who was also on the platform, sprang into action, taking off her coat, grabbing her stethoscope and rushing over to try an administer CPR with the help of a nearby security guard.
"It was terrifying, but you run on adrenaline," Kaplan told The Post. "There was no pulse, never, no reflexes."
"I heard what I thought were heart sounds," she added. "We started compressions, which is half of CPR. We were unable to perform rescue breathing [the other half of CPR] because there was blood coming out of his mouth. He wasn't in the right position [for full CPR] and there was just no way to get him out of there."

Picking a comfortable chair for work protects your body and improves work efficiency. Besides the soft-touch leather back and padded sloped armrests, this chair combines mid-range knee tilt and a high back to provide all day, relaxed comfort. Height and tilt are both controllable for the best fit. The five-point base with casters makes this chair a stable and durable choice for daily use.

Its a chair.This review is from: Alera MA41LS10M Madaris High-Back Swivel/Tilt Leather Chair w/Wood Trim, Black/Mahogany Pros: Sturdy and somewhat comfortable, although I see myself buying a cushion sometime soon. Cons: Arm rests could be more comfortable, but its not as bad as the plastic chair I was using before Other Thoughts: A little expensive but it is a nice chair, nothing too fancy though.

had a great time – my fiance and i went to frans the other night and had a good time. my waiter was fun and got whatever i needed. the food was great but the portions were to big, i left there really full. i would definatly go back.
LOVE this place!! – This was my fourth visit to Fran's... I heard they had the best fries in the city so I had to put them to the test! We had the "secret spicy sprinkle fries" and I would have to agree they were damn good. Our food was exceptional as well... we had the rosemary chicken, meatballs, and the ribs. Also "Chad's tropical sangria" hit the spot! I'm glad I found this place... it's my new favorite in Charlotte!!
Will never go back to Fran's – The service we received for Friday-night dinner -- in a restaurant only half full -- was the worst I ever have had in a Charlotte restaurant... or perhaps anywhere. At one point, the waitress came over and just said, "Oh, I forgot you all"; no apology, no nothing. One of our appetizers was not brought, I had to go TO the waitress to ask for something after being unable to get her attention for a long time, and it was MORE THAN AN HOUR before we got our entrees. I would have left, but both of us were very tired and decided just to wait it out.
I am surprised at the raves about the food, because ours -- the roast beef, shrimp, polenta and snow peas -- was unmarkable. Only the mashed potatoes were worth mentioning.
Terrible service – My husband and I were so excited to check out this place. We'd heard good things. We went early last night (Friday), so the place wasn't too busy at that point. The hostess sat us and brought us water. No one ever came to our table after that. We made obvious eye contact with all of the servers (some were just standing around chatting), but still no one ever came. After 10 minutes, maybe more, we just left. The hostess didn't even acknowledge us as we walked out the door. It was very disappointing, and that's definitely behavior that will cause us to never return.
Can't wait to go back! – I visited Fran's for lunch a few weeks ago and was very happy with my meal. They have a great assortment of sandwiches made with fresh ingredients, not to mention the soup was fantastic. Our waiter Chad was spot on with every recommendation he made. Before I left, Chad told me about a few things on the dinner menu (totally different) which gave me no choice but to come back. That weekend I returned with my wife and son on a Saturday night to find a full house, after about a 30 minute wait we sat down and were pleased to find out Chad would be taking care of us. Once again all of his recommendations were incredible. He set us up with a bottle of Old Vine red blend and started us out with bacon wrapped tater tots and fried pickles. We then had rosemary chicken, slow roasted beef, and thanksgiving on a plate. And for desert we had tuxedo cake. I look forward to coming back very soon!
Casual and relaxed – My friend and I went here for lunch and had the yummy cheese/beer soup and greek wedge. We really enjoyed the wimsical atmosphere and relaxed staff. We will go back and take more friends with us.
good meatballs!! – It was my firt time to go there (obviously I am not from NC) and the location was difficult to find. (I was taking the neighborhood roads and it was dark and bad directions) anyways, so much of complaining, the food was good. The meatball was stuffed with garlic and other seasoning, not like any other regular meat balls. At first, I thought 2 meatballs ain't enough for me, but as soon as I dig'in, the flavor and the temperature along with other rich and fresh ingridients, by the time I finished the dish, I found the protion of the food was just right. The cons after all, was the long wait in after order the dish to the time when the dish to the table. I will revisit this place next time, and trying not to get lost again.
Dinner special was truly special – I like a place where the dinner specials are truly special. Tonight I had a lamb burger with a creamy feta spread, marinated cucumbers and roasted tomatoes with harissa fried potatoes.
It was dinner like mama used to make, well maybe if you mama is from Morocco.
Bursting with flavor and juicy. Just plain delicious.
Cute, local restaurant with great food – My boyfriend and I went to Fran's on a Friday night. The atmosphere was really homey and the servers very nice. At first, we were a little confused with the menu, but the server explained it to us. We ended up getting a variety of foods, including the bacon wrapped tater tots, the Japanese ribs, the teriyaki wings, the shrimp, and a glass of wine. The flavors of the food were amazing with lots of spices and herbs...you could really taste the effort put into the food. We'll definitely be back...gotta try the Thanksgiving on a Plate...we hear it's the best!
Great menu/Great specials – I learned about Fran's Filing Station from a friend who knew I was more interested in good food and interesting flavors than fine china and silver service. I was not disappointed. The slow roasted tomatoes had a rich and rustic taste. The hand cut french fries w/spicy sprinkle were as good as I have ever had. The server suggested their homemade Russian dressing with the fries and it was the bomb.
My guest had what she described as the best burger in town. I had a special which was a short rib sandwich with homemade tomato jam. Succulent, moist short rib meat on a roll with a sweet, tangy tomato jam with a very slight bite. It was delicious.
The place was friendly, efficient, and attended by the owner.
It ALL worked.

Found November 02, 2011 on
The Jets Blog:
The New York Jets have announced the signing of WR Michael Campbell back to the practice squad after about a week's absence. The team placed WR Scotty McKnight on practice squad injured reserve with a torn ACL in his left knee.
It will be interesting to see what the team does with Scotty McKnight long-term … do they foresee a Danny Woodhead role for him down the road? Woodhead of course wasn't the right fit for the team at the time, their between the tackles running didn't support his skillset … something that Brady's spread offense is much better suited at doing.
Kerley seems to be making a strong statement that he'll be the slot receiver for many years to come, so where does McKnight fit? Will he be able to carve out a role on specials in 2012? That seems to be where he'd need to start.

Did you see the previews for next week? Beth will feed him!
Did you see the previews for next week? Beth will feed him!
I know!! I think I am jealous!!! He gets cuter every week.
Cave ab homine unius libre
Crazy member of the SSMKA
What did I miss? I didn't get to see it!
A professor vampire got hit by a car, a doctor stopped to help him and was turned by the professor. The doctor vampire went rogue, since he didn't have anyone to help him through the transition. He killed three people before they figured out who he was and Mick had to finish him off. In the mean time, Beth asked a lot of questions about being a vampire and Mick finally admitted he trusted her with the story of his life and turning. They are becoming closer each week.
Tonight was the first night I've been able to watch it, and I'm glad I did. He is so hot.
I can't wait for next week...I think Beth letting him feed on her will take their relationship to another level.
I missed last weeks episode though and I can't seem to watch it online.
Tonite's episode was great -- and I am soo excited about next week and the Beth feeding thing -- I wonder how long it will take for her to dump her boyfriend for him? (Not that I am rooting for the guys heartbreak, but Mick is hot!)
I missed the 1st episode, and can't wait to go home and try to watch it online.
This is much more fun than schoolwork.
viva la SSMKA!
Just a thought, now that I am awake this morning. What if Beth is willing to feed him, but at the last moment our tortured hero refuses to feed from her and makes her go to the blood bank he uses and get the blood for him? Would that cause her to think he doesn't want her?

< Return To Hearing
Jay P. McCloskeyJuly 31, 2007
STATEMENT OF JAY P. McCLOSKEY I thank you for allowing me to testify in connection with this Hearing. I served as the United States Attorney for the District of Maine from 1993 to 2001 and, prior to that, as an Assistant United States Attorney in that office from 1980 to 1993. During the course of my career as a prosecutor, I handled many drug cases as an Assistant United States Attorney and I continued to take a very active role in drug prosecutions as United States Attorney. In late 1999 and early 2000, I became aware of a growing problem in Maine involving the abuse of prescription drugs that included, but was not limited to, OxyContin. I was deeply concerned with this disturbing development. So, in February 2000, I sent a letter to all of Maine's practicing physicians warning them about increasing problems with the illegal diversion and abuse of OxyContin and other opiate-based prescription medications. Shortly thereafter, in March 2000, I received a call from Purdue Pharma's Medical Director, who asked me about the level of OxyContin abuse in Maine. He asked whether I would be willing to meet with him and other Purdue Pharma executives in order to discuss and better understand the problem, but I deferred his request. Purdue Pharma's initial contact with me occurred at a time when Maine law enforcement officials were just discovering the extent of the opiate abuse problem, and I found it difficult to envision how the manufacturer could help stop the illegal diversion and abuse of OxyContin. As I became more knowledgeable about the nature and extent of the problem, I realized that traditional law enforcement techniques alone would have very little impact on the fast-growing abuse of prescription opiates. As a consequence, my office began to develop a broad-based public education initiative to combat prescription drug abuse as a supplement to the more traditional law enforcement response. I also began to give more thought to the possibility that Purdue Pharma could help me and other law enforcement officials reach an audience of health care providers to whom law enforcement generally did not have access. As a consequence, in September 2000 I organized a meeting attended by federal prosecutors, state and federal drug enforcement agents, local police chiefs and their investigators, and Purdue Pharma executives. Rather than sending lower level executives, Michael Friedman, then Chief Operating Officer, Howard Udell, the Chief Legal Officer, and the company's Medical Director attended this meeting themselves. The Purdue Pharma executives expressed surprise at the extent of the diversion of OxyContin in Maine. They said that Purdue Pharma had a similar product, MS Contin, on the market for some years and they had not experienced any significant diversion problems with that product. However, once I explained the basis for our knowledge about OxyContin abuse, which included both numerous undercover purchases of OxyContin and other information about the availability of OxyContin "on the street" that was derived from informant debriefings, the Purdue Pharma executives responded positively. They pledged that they would do whatever they could to assist the efforts of law enforcement officials to address the illegal diversion of OxyContin. Howard Udell specifically said to me, "We want to do what is right." I remember these words very distinctly, and although I did not give any special weight to them at the time, I later recalled them on several occasions as I observed all that Purdue Pharma later did, and offered to do, in an effort to reduce OxyContin abuse. Let me provide some examples of the extraordinary programs and assistance provided. Beyond educating healthcare professionals and law enforcement and disseminating important tools to address the problems of abuse and diversion, Purdue Pharma also took steps that negatively affected their commercial interests. In April of 2001, I told Purdue Pharma executives that drug agents in Maine had made an undercover "street" purchase of a 160-milligram OxyContin tablet that could be very dangerous if abused. I told Purdue Pharma that I was worried that this high strength could present an overdose danger to a teenager who made the mistake of abusing OxyContin on even one occasion. Approximately two weeks later, a Purdue Pharma executive told me that the company would voluntarily take the 160-milligram OxyContin product off the market in an effort to prevent the health risks that might come from abuse of that particular strength. Many pain advocates criticized Purdue Pharma for taking this legitimate product off the market. In my opinion, Purdue Pharma's decision to do this was an extraordinary example of corporate responsibility. It should not be forgotten that these efforts by Purdue Pharma occurred in 2000, 2001 and 2002. This is significant because in those years we, meaning law enforcement officials, were all first grappling with the evolving problem of increasing prescription drug abuse that was first noted in Maine and shortly thereafter in southern Virginia, West Virginia and eastern Kentucky. I further point out that what might seem to be an obvious example of "corporate responsibility" today was not so clear when the OxyContin abuse problem initially emerged. It is important to note the time frame because Purdue took the steps that I described long before it became aware of the investigation in the Western District of Virginia in December 2002. After I left the government and entered private law practice in 2001, Purdue Pharma consulted with me about its continuing efforts to reduce the diversion and abuse of OxyContin. In my capacity as a consultant, I worked on several projects to combat OxyContin abuse in close conjunction with Purdue Pharma executives from approximately July 2001 through early 2004. In the interest of full disclosure, I was paid for the consulting services that I provided to Purdue Pharma during this period. Except for travel expenses, I am not being compensated for my testimony here today. During that time, I worked closely with several Purdue Pharma executives, and I came to know them and to understand the company's corporate culture. I was deeply impressed by the unmistakable interest in the public welfare that emanated from the executives with whom I worked. In every instance, Purdue Pharma executives not only fully supported my public interest-oriented recommendations, but they also ensured that they were implemented in a thorough and meaningful fashion. They did so even when the recommended initiatives ran counter to the company's economic interests and when the programs exposed Purdue Pharma to potential criticism from the pharmaceutical industry or from the pain patient advocate community. Let me provide a few examples. Contrary to the pharmaceutical industry's position at the time, as well as that of some leading physician and patient advocacy groups, Purdue Pharma championed the adoption of Prescription Monitoring Programs ("PMPs"). In that connection, Purdue Pharma released a document in October 2001 outlining the attributes of an appropriately designed state electronic PMP, and announced its support of such programs. Purdue then became involved in the legislative debate concerning such programs, meeting with state legislators and state healthcare professional associations to convince them that a prescription monitoring program was consistent with the public interest. By November 2006, 33 states had enacted legislation establishing prescription monitoring programs. Purdue also supported congressional legislation designed to authorize federal funding for states that would implement prescription monitoring programs. Purdue Pharma's support for the passage of these statutes was praised by several elected leaders. In the summer and fall of 2002, before Purdue Pharma was aware of any criminal investigation of its activities, Purdue Pharma developed and implemented a procedure to advise law enforcement and state medical boards concerning suspicious OxyContin prescribing practices by medical professionals. In that connection, Purdue Pharma required its sales force to report to the company's Office of General Counsel any unusual prescribing activity or troubling observations made in connection with their sales calls. In those circumstances, Purdue Pharma's policy foreclosed sales personnel from having further contact with the suspicious prescriber until the General Counsel's Office had reviewed the situation. When appropriate, the General Counsel's Office forwarded relevant information to government officials. In establishing this program, Purdue Pharma sought my advice as to what might constitute suspicious activity in a physician's office so that this information could be passed on to its sales representative in the form of a Standard Operating Procedure. After this program had been in operation for some time, Purdue Pharma called on me to review the company's files and decisions as to whether or not the observed conduct should be reported to law enforcement or medical licensure authorities. As part of that process, I met with members of Purdue Pharma's Office of General Counsel who were working on this anti-diversion program, and we spent hours together reviewing these files. Purdue Pharma wanted a law enforcement perspective on whether its lawyers were appropriately evaluating the data that they received after implementing the suspicious prescribing practice program. This experience underscored my view that Purdue Pharma was undertaking these programs with sincere commitment and for the best of motives. I am aware of no other pharmaceutical company that has undertaken such extraordinary efforts. After Purdue Pharma became aware that there were concerns about international diversion of OxyContin, Purdue Pharma created unique markings for OxyContin tablets in order to assist law enforcement in determining whether tablets that were seized "on the street" originated from the company's facilities in the United States, Canada or Mexico. After concerns surfaced about diversion from its manufacturing facility in Mexico, Purdue Pharma stopped the manufacturing of OxyContin in Mexico at great cost to the company, and despite severe criticism from the Mexican distributor, who, incidentally, later sued Purdue Pharma after the company took this anti-diversion action. Some individuals have criticized Purdue Pharma's efforts as nothing more than public relations. I think that this sort of commentary is extremely unfair. I am convinced that Purdue Pharma made real contributions to suppress the abuse of OxyContin, and I believe that the company went well beyond what any pharmaceutical company, even others that market scheduled opioids, has ever done. In my opinion, Purdue Pharma is a company that tried very hard to make a difference. It is clear that drug abuse and related prescription medication diversion are daunting problems. With billions of dollars in financing, the Drug Enforcement Administration and other law enforcement agencies have strived for decades to have a meaningful impact on the widespread problem of drug abuse. Yet, when law enforcement suppresses the availability of an abused drug, another quickly takes its place as the drug of choice amongst substance abusers. Purdue Pharma executives were not hanging window-dressing. They embraced each of the company's anti-diversion initiatives, and many others I have not detailed today, without any hesitation whatsoever. Purdue Pharma executives tried to treat the public welfare as their first priority at every step without hurting legitimate pain patients. I can think of no better way to measure a corporate culture. Since September of 2000, I have had an opportunity to observe Purdue Pharma and its executives in a variety of different contexts: as United States Attorney, in meetings with dozens of attorneys who were handling OxyContin civil litigation, at Congressional hearings, at meetings with DEA officials and in private. In all of my dealings, I do not recall even one instance in which a Purdue Pharma executive favored the company's business interests over efforts to curb OxyContin diversion and abuse. In fact, just the opposite is true, which is obvious from what I have already described. Although Purdue Pharma executives are advocates for legitimate pain patients not being denied access to OxyContin, they have spent considerable personal and professional time in a genuine effort to reduce OxyContin diversion and abuse. Although I do not in any way condone the misstatements by sales representatives that formed the basis for Purdue Pharma's plea to misbranding, I can state unequivocally that I never observed any instance in which such activity was approved. Further, I have never heard any suggestion made by a Purdue Pharma executive, or any other Purdue Pharma employee for that matter, that OxyContin was less addictive, less subject to diversion and abuse, or less likely to cause tolerance or withdrawal than other opiates. I have no doubt that the Purdue Pharma executives would have stopped any Purdue Pharma employee from making these improper claims had they known about them. Because the executives pleaded guilty to a strict liability offense, knowledge or criminal intent was not at issue. Indeed, Judge Jones found that the government had not presented any evidence that the accused executives had knowledge of the wrongdoing in the case, and I understand that there was no such evidence. In my experience, bringing a criminal case in these circumstances against individuals is highly unusual. While, by definition, strict liability offenses do not require knowledge or intent, to the best of my knowledge in every other case where the government has brought this charge, the individuals actually knew of or had been warned about the misconduct that was the subject of the prosecution in those cases. Indeed, the government's use of the statute in the circumstances surrounding the prosecution of Purdue Pharma and its top executives is strikingly contrary to the position that the United States took before the Supreme Court in the seminal case on this issue, United States v. Park.1 In the Park case, government prosecutors assured the United States Supreme Court that corporate officials who are technically deemed by statute to be "responsible corporate agents" would ordinarily not be prosecuted without some further evidence of culpability. This element was lacking in the Purdue Pharma case. For that reason, the criminal prosecution of the executives in this case, was, in my opinion, unprecedented and a regrettable choice of prosecutorial discretion. In conclusion, I want to thank the Committee for hearing my statement and I will be happy to answer any questions the Committee may have. 1 United States v. Park, 421 U.S. 658 (1975). |

Privately Devout Romney Worships With His Family
Posted: 12:39 PM Jul 2, 2012
Reporter: Associated Press
WOLFEBORO, N.H. (AP) - Every year, Mitt Romney and his family spend a week at his estate on a picturesque lake in New Hampshire.
They go boating, play games - and attend church, an expression of the faith that's fundamentally shaped the Republican presidential candidate.
Romney, the first Mormon to clinch the presidential nomination of a major party, attended services Sunday with his wife, Ann, five sons, five daughters-in-law and eighteen grandchildren.
They made up nearly a third of the congregation at Wolfeboro's branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Romney clan has attended the church there many times before - only now the family patriarch carries the distinction of being President Barack Obama's challenger.
Romney plans to spend the week in Wolfeboro.

Kevin Bankston will speak on a panel entitled Journalism "Ethics in Transitional Situations" at the World Press Freedom Day Conference
Event Information
Description: Changing mindsets is essential in times of transition. Journalists in transitional situations,who were used to deliver government-friendly information and were accustomed to self-censorship, are faced with the challenge of changing their editorial habits. Holding governments and powerful institutions accountable, and adopting the methods of investigative journalism are essential tasks in a new media context. Media must develop their role of watchdogs respecting ethical principles in accordance with international standards.
- How can journalists help counter corruption within media (such as "brown envelopes") and transform professional attitudes in the media sector and develop trust among the audience?
- What measures need to be implemented both by the public authorities and by media organizationsin order to promote independent quality journalism?
- How ensure that changes in editorial practices in a new media landscape are actually taking place?
- Ethics and covering sensitive subject matter (sexuality, religion)

[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] heard oral arguments [day call, PDF; merit briefs] Monday in two cases. In Hamilton, Chapter 13 Trustee v. Lanning [oral arguments transcript, PDF; JURIST report], the court heard arguments on whether, in calculating a debtor's "projected disposable income," a bankruptcy court may consider evidence suggesting that the debtor's income or expenses will differ from her prior income or expenses. The US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit found [opinion, PDF] that a debtor's current monthly income is the appropriate income to use in this analysis. Counsel for the petitioner, the bankruptcy trustee, argued:
The Tenth Circuit and Stephanie Lanning were wrong in ignoring the new Chapter 13 means test contained in the 2005 amendments to the Bankruptcy Code. The amendments to the 2005 Bankruptcy Code were intended to reduce judicial discretion by inserting a formula rather than the judicial discretion that had previously been accorded to judges and to the litigants.
Respondents are natural gas suppliers who object to the way Ohio taxes them. Their suit belongs in State court rather than Federal court for two independent reasons. First, principles of comity and federalism dictate that the State court should resolve challenges to the validity of their own tax laws. And second, the Tax Injunction Act squarely prohibits Federal courts from issuing declaratory judgments holding State tax laws unconstitutional.
