Chairman Biden, Senator Grassley, and Members of the Subcommittee: We thank you for the invitation and very much welcome the opportunity to appear before this Subcommittee today to discuss what this Administration has done, is doing, and intends to do to detect, punish and ultimately deter white collar crime. Just yesterday, President Bush called for a new ethic of corporate responsibility. Although most businesspeople play by the rules, some do not, and we are now seeing the serious damage to people's trust and confidence in our economy that this type of wrongdoing fosters. The President's initiative gives prosecutors important new weapons in the fight against white-collar crime and, as noted below, establishes a new Corporate Fraud Task Force within the Department of Justice. As you know, we have not hesitated to proceed with criminal cases against corporate executives, accountants, and others who have abused their positions of trust and authority for personal gain or for other improper purposes by breaking the existing laws. Some have called us too aggressive, but those voices seem to be growing more faint as ever more egregious business practices are exposed to public scrutiny. We are proud of the work we have done, and continue to do, both here in Washington and at the many United States Attorney's offices around the country where Justice Department prosecutors are going after corporate criminals every day. We have made considerable progress, but we have much yet to do. In the meantime, this Administration has sent a very clear message: that fraud, obstruction of justice, and other types of criminal activity in the business world will not go unpunished or receive merely a slap on the wrist, a nominal fine, and an admonition to "go forth and sin no more." To the contrary, robust enforcement of the law gives people both on Wall Street and Main Street confidence that the financial marketplace, and our economy in general, will continue to operate under principles of honesty, integrity, and trust. This message is one that most honest, hardworking people in the business community have welcomed, and it is one that we hope will give the American people a renewed faith in both our economic system and in our criminal justice system. Strong enforcement of our laws against white collar crime, and tough penalties for those who commit such crimes, has been this Administration's policy, and these principles form the cornerstones of the President's proposal. We believe that strong enforcement and tough penalties are especially important in the context of white collar crimes, because business criminals act with calculation rather than in a fit of anger or compulsion. Because white collar criminals act more rationally than most other criminals, they can more easily be deterred. In our experience, one thing is crystal clear: businessmen and women want to avoid jail at any cost. If their calculus includes a reasonable likelihood that they will be caught, and if caught, a reasonable likelihood that they will go to jail rather than get probation, home detention, or some other "alternative to incarceration," they will be much less willing to roll the dice and commit a fraud. Of course, white collar criminals also count on their misdeeds being difficult both to detect in the first instance and ultimately to prove in court beyond a reasonable doubt. Indeed, white collar cases are generally very complex, and take considerable time and resources to investigate and litigate. For that reason, it is all the more important that corporate criminals realize that meaningful punishment lies at the end of the road to conviction.The President's Proposal: A New Ethic of Corporate Responsibility The President's proposals would both increase the ability of federal agents and prosecutors to catch these types of criminals, and would stiffen the penalties for white collar offenders when they are convicted. Let me highlight some specific reforms, focusing on those most pertinent to federal criminal enforcement:
The Corporate Fraud Task Force As noted previously, the President has ordered the Attorney General to form a Corporate Fraud Task Force within the Justice Department in order to strengthen the efforts of the federal government in its investigation and prosecution of financial crimes. The Task Force will provide direction for the investigation and prosecution of white collar crimes, including significant cases of securities fraud, accounting fraud, and other financial and white-collar crimes. The Task Force will actively work to improve cooperation among other federal agencies and state authorities, and recommend policy and legislative changes as appropriate. We believe that this Task Force will significantly enhance the Department's existing ability to tackle those increasingly common cases that involve large, complex businesses where questionable practices, transactions or other activities are nationwide or even international in scope. The Deputy Attorney General will chair this Task Force. The Assistant Attorneys General for the Criminal and Tax Divisions will be members. The other members will include the FBI Director and U.S. Attorneys from major financial centers, including New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Houston.Increased White Collar Penalties, Including Prison Sentences As U.S. Attorney James Comey of the Southern District of New York told this Subcommittee last month, this Administration recognizes that the swift and certain punishment of financial crimes is vital, both to the prosperity of the United States and to people's faith in the criminal justice system the greater social life. We have attached a copy of Mr. Comey's statement for your reference. For this reason, another cornerstone of the President's proposal is an increase in the available penalties for mail fraud and wire fraud -- two statutes that govern basic forms of white collar crime. Too often the public perception has been that we do not punish people who commit business-related crimes receive punishment not based on the gravity of their offense, but according to their social or economic stature. In some cases we think that those concerns have been warranted. Not only are the maximum statutory penalties for fraud and other white collar-type offenses substantially less overall than those for violent offenders or drug cases, but it appears that judges in some jurisdictions are overly willing to depart downward from the mandated federal sentencing guideline range to sentence such offenders to minimal (if any) jail time, home detention, or even probation. We strongly disagree with this kind of lenient treatment for white collar criminals. The bottom line is that white collar criminals are just as much criminals as those who steal with a gun or knife. They do real harm to real people. They ruin lives. Jail time performs two functions: it holds white collar criminals accountable for their past misdeeds, and it prevents future misbehavior by those executives who might toy with the idea of beating the system. Greed will ultimately overcome reason in some cases - after all, no criminal ever starts out with the intention of getting caught -- but deterrence always works best at the margins of criminal behavior. The President believes in making the penalties for white collar crime tougher and especially in making real jail time more meaningful in business cases.Enhanced Investigative Tools The Administration's proposal also recognizes the considerable challenges that regulators, investigators and prosecutors face in detecting white collar crimes and preparing these cases for trial. Many, if not most, white collar crimes initially appear to be normal business transactions. Indeed, most of the names in the headlines in recent months have been those of legitimate, well-regarded corporations. The smart corporate criminal will conduct his affairs in a manner that seems perfectly above-board and legitimate. Like termites infesting a house, everything appears fine until the first shingle is pried loose. Then the task becomes even more difficult - assessing the extent of the activity, determining who was responsible, and preparing a case for indictment and trial. Here, too, the nature of the beast works against us - the very essence of these crimes is deception, conspiracy, and coverup. Thus, the President's proposal would give us an important new tool to fight obstruction of justice, particularly document shredding. As some courts have interpreted one of the current statutes, the government can only charge someone for persuading others to engage in obstruction of an anticipated official proceeding; if a person acts alone, no matter how egregiously, he or she cannot be prosecuted unless a proceeding has actually begun. The President has asked Congress to amend a different obstruction of justice statute - not subject these court-imposed limitations - to clarify unambiguously the government's ability to prosecute all individuals involved in obstructing justice in these circumstances. White Collar Enforcement As we mentioned before, this Administration is rightly proud of its record of vigorous enforcement of the laws against white collar criminals. We are sure the Subcommittee will understand that we are precluded from discussing pending cases in detail, and of course we cannot reveal information about any investigations which have not been publicly acknowledged by the Department. However, we are currently pursuing several investigations involving major corporations, as well as indictments and trials. We would like briefly to describe a few:? WorldCom: The Department is reviewing the facts behind WorldCom's June 25 disclosure that it had improperly accounted for $3.9 billion in expenses. The SEC has formally charged WorldCom with defrauding investors.? Enron: In January, the Department set up a Task Force to investigate the circumstances behind the collapse of Enron Corp. The Task Force is led by Leslie Caldwell, an experienced federal prosecutor from the San Francisco U.S. Attorney's Office. The investigation has so far led to the conviction of Arthur Andersen in June, and the filing of wire fraud charges on June 27 against three British bankers who engaged in transactions with Enron officials. The Enron Task Force's investigation is active and ongoing.? Arthur Andersen: On June 15, a federal jury in Houston convicted the accounting firm Arthur Andersen LLP of obstruction of justice, in a case arising out of the Enron investigation. The indictment charged, and the jury found, that Andersen obstructed an SEC investigation into the Enron collapse. David Duncan, the Global Managing Partner at Andersen in charge of the Enron Engagement Team, pled guilty to obstruction of justice in April.? AllFirst: On June 5, the U.S. Attorney for Maryland announced a seven-count indictment against a former AllFirst Bank currency trader, alleging bank fraud and making a false entry in bank records which resulted in the bank's losing more than $691 million.? ImClone: The U.S. Attorney in Manhattan is investigating allegations of insider trading with regard to ImClone Systems, Inc. Former ImClone Chief Executive Samuel Waksal was charged in June with insider trading for allegedly tipping off other investors about the FDA's pending rejection of the company's application for approval of a cancer drug.? Rite Aid: On June 21, the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced criminal charges including mail and wire fraud against five former and current officers of Rite Aid Corporation, the drug chain. One defendant has pled guilty. The charges involve an accounting scheme that led to a $1.6 billion restatement of income, one of the largest in U.S. history.? Republic Securities Corp.: In December 2001, Republic entered a guilty plea in the Southern District of New York to securities fraud and conspiracy, and agreed to pay $606 million in restitution to victims of the fraud. A Republic trader, Martin Armstrong, was indicted in 1999, and those charges are still pending.Conclusion In closing, we thank you, Mr. Chairman, Senator Grassley, and the Subcommittee, for your leadership and the spirit of bipartisan cooperation that you have brought to addressing the challenges of rooting out, punishing, and preventing white collar crime. The President's proposals in this area will greatly enhance the Department's ability to enforce fraud, obstruction, and other important statutes, and ensure that criminals who operate in the business community face stiff penalties which include jail time. We look forward to working with you as we enforce the laws and encourage a new ethic of corporate responsibility in this country. Mr. Chairman, that concludes our prepared remarks. We would be glad to answer any questions the Subcommittee may have.

Stress is a physical, mental and emotional response to a challenging event — not the event itself. Often referred to as the fight-or-flight response, the stress response occurs automatically when you feel threatened. Stress, whether positive or negative, is a normal part of everyone's life. Negative stress, however, diminishes your quality of life.
Stress management comprises a wide range of approaches to help you better deal with stress and adversity. Stress management might include problem-solving, prioritization and time management. Another approach includes enhancing skills to withstand adverse situations by improving emotional flexibility, finding greater meaning in life, increasing the sense of control and cultivating optimism. A third approach is to practice relaxing techniques, such as deep breathing, yoga, meditation, tai chi, exercise and prayer. Improving personal relationships is an important component of stress management.
Stress management can help you lead a more balanced, healthier life. When channeled positively, stress can lead to growth, action and change.

Stop Motion Of Papercraft Link Construction
This is a little stop motion video of a papercrafter constructing a Link model. The model is amazing, and so is the build, so you should check it out. But you shouldn't check out library books that will get you blacklisted. Or women on the street. BECAUSE I AM AGAINST THE OBJECTIFICATION OF WOMEN. Women are people too, you know. Except those crazy bodybuilding ones. They're wild animals.
Thanks to Jessica, who once made a papercraft model of the Geekologie Writer and then burn it as an effigy. Gee, thanks.

[Carter sneaks up behind Cate, wrapping his arms around her and leaning in towards her, his lips brushing her ear.]"Carter?""That's the name."[turns around in his arms, facing him and catches her breath as he leans in] "What are you doing?[Carter leans forward suddenly, pushing his lips into hers for a moment before pulling back slightly. Cate grabs his face and pulls him back into the kiss just as suddenly]
"now before you say anything—""josh, what the hell did you do back there?""i— i thought. i just had to tell you, that's all.""i don't think i've ever felt so many pairs of eyes on me before."

"carols, we have to talk.""okay, what about?""there's uh," [josh pauses, clenching his jaw and looking away for a moment] "there's no easy way to say this, but, i… haven't been entirely honest with you."[carols is silent for a moment] "did you cheat on me?""yes.""f— for how long?""well technically i was dating two other women wh—""two other women?"

This is alleged to be a voicemail left by "Lennay Kukua" (who we now are told is really a dude pretending to be the Notre Dame football player's fake girlfriend) on Manti Te'o's phone, which first appeared on Katie Couric's website.
Update: Katie Couric's website has pulled the audio down after originally hosting the three mp3 files this morning, so the above link is 404-ing. Hm.
Update 2: TMZ has them. This is weird.
Update 3: They're back on Katie's website. Looks like some web producer just wanted to make them video files instead of mp3's. OK, let's move on.

The greens are finally warming up and though many of you probably were able to play through the winter, we will soon be experiencing some awesome sunshining golf days. Shouldn't you tune up your best piece of sporting equipment? No — not getting new grips on your clubs or buffing your shoes! I'm talking about the true piece of equipment that will provide the longer drive or more precise putt ... your Golfer's Body!
Considering that you must be fit enough to be on the course for several hours and bend, twist, rotate and squat, what will you do before getting back on the course? Some things to consider are flexibility, strength and balance.
Since the distance you hit the ball depends on the rotation of your trunk and the ability to shift your weight from back to front as you swing, it makes sense to work on flexibility of the legs, hips back and shoulders to allow more range in which to develop your swing speed.
But what good is all that motion if you have no control of it? You need to work on core strength and balance too. What does this mean? You can do some basic exercises that target the muscles you use to swing your club with better rotation, control and speed.
Here is a great resource for golf related exercises: http://www.mytpi.com. Take a look and see how easily you can get your Golfer's Body back in great form.
On top of improving your swing, game and hopefully bragging rights you may well avoid back, hip and knee pain, golfers elbow, rotator cuff issues and many other maladies.
So try a few exercises, get your mobility and strength working for you. Then go on out there and hit 'em straight and far.
Preparing Your Golfer's Body
What you need to do to improve your your game on the greens.

Egyptian police shoot man attempting to enter Israel
Police in Egypt said they shot and wounded a man trying to climb over the border fence into Israel on Sunday.
They named him as Bedouin Moussa Eid, aged 25, from the Sinai area, who was taken to hospital at El Arish suffering from a wound in the thigh, saying they opened fire because he ignored warnings, AFP said. The police added that they did not know his motives.
Several Egyptians, male and female, have tried to enter the Gaza Strip to join the Palestinian uprising or Intifada, however cross-border smuggling is also common. (Albawaba.com)

Recipe by Shadowhawk
"I created this delicious cheesy pasta sauce with chicken and mushrooms one day when trying to think of a simple meal. Since then, everyone I serve it to LOVES it!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, chopped
1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound small shell pasta
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/8 cup heavy cream
5 teaspoons ground black pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons paprika
1 pinch salt
3 cups shredded Medium Cheddar cheese
2 cups chicken breasts, cooked and chopped
Great recipe! It was pretty quick and easy and very good. There were a couple major adjustments however that I made. I ended up using about 1/2 cup half and half, since I didnt have heavy cream on hand. Either way 1/8 would not have been enough. Also 1 pound of mushrooms seemed like a bit much, I ended up using 2 small cans of mushrooms instead. I just didnt saute them. Thirdly 5 teaspoons seemed a bit outrageous, and this is from someone who loves pepper. I used about 1 1/2 teaspoons of pepper instead. Fourthly, insyead of using 2 tablespoons of Paprika, I started with one teaspoon and from there added a little more to taste. And lastly, had I added 3 cups of cheddar cheese, we may as well have had nachos, so I just added about 1 1/2 cups. It turned out great!
I honestly thought there was a mistake w/the measurements in this recipe. WAY too much pepper, paprika and cheese. Not nearly enough cream. I followed the recipe exact.
49 Ratings
I hadn't read any of the reviews before I made this dish and found it to be absolutely amazing that people would actually use 5 tsps. of pepper and then complain that there was too much pepper in this recipe! I used about 3/4 of a tsp. and it was delicious. Thanks shadowhawk!
Delicious! I added a bit more soup than it called for and to cut down on the calories and fat I used a fat free mushroom soup and instead of cream I used 1% milk. It was really good and I WILL make it again!
It's a good recipe. As other reviewers, i didn't use pepper as much. I modified the recipe to my taste and ingredients i had at the time. I used penne pasta, used evaporated milk instead of heavy cream. I didn't have condensed cream of mushroom, so i used condensed cream of potato and pureed it. I also used the can of breast chicken which already salty, so i didn't use any salt for seasoning. Added some mozarella cheese instead of cheddar cheese. and seasoned with pinch of herbs for final touch. And it turned out really good!!
First, make sure you add the pepper to taste! If you dump in the whole amount I think you will be rather disappointed! I also added the paprika to taste. Instead of canned cream of mushroom soup, I made my own to avoid all the additives: sauteed some chopped 'shrooms in butter, added some garlic and sauteed a few minutes more. Then added some flour, cooked out the starchy flavor a bit, then added some milk, and then some chicken stock (which I boiled and strained after I poached and cubed the chicken for this recipe), and a dollop of sour cream. Seasoned with salt, pepper and added some parsley. Tasted WAY better than the canned stuff, YUM! Unfortunately, the final result of the overall recipe was nothing that made us say "wow." Seemed as though it was missing something but couldn't put a finger on it. Was alright but I don't know that I would make it again.
I lowered the calories in this recipe by using half the cheese, skim milk, and 2 tbsp of nonfat yogurt, no margarine and spraying my pan with olive oil! And still great on taste!
We had leftover roast chicken from Christmas and I had a can of mushroom soup sitting in the cupboard so I randomly searched for a recipe using both ingredients. I had the rest of the ingredients so I decided to give it a try. It was creamy and delicious! Easy meal to prepare! :)

Zunino (UF) | 5 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 |
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Surrendering four runs in the bottom of the first inning proved to be too much as the FGCU baseball team dropped game two of the three-game weekend series with No. 1 Florida, 8-3, at McKethan Stadium in Gainesville, Fla. on Saturday.
With the game two loss, the Eagles move to 6-7 on the year, while the Gators extend their winning streak to 12 games and sit at 14-1 on the season.
The top-ranked Gators opened the ballgame with four runs in their first chance at the plate. A pair of walks and a hit-by-pitch loaded the bases for Mike Zunino, who sent a single through the left side for a 2-0 lead. The Gators plated two more in the inning on an RBI single from Taylor Gushue and a sacrifice fly off the bat of Austin Maddox.
In the second inning, Florida added another run to the scoring column on a base loaded sacrifice fly to right field by Preston Tucker, giving the Gators a 5-0 lead.
FGCU cut the deficit to 5-1 in the visitor's side of the fourth. Senior Ryan Gebhart (Waco, Texas/Midway HS/Missouri) opened the inning with a standup double on a sharp liner down the left field line. A groundout to second base by sophomore Andrew Valencia (Miami, Fla./Gulliver Prep) advanced Gebhart to third, and another slow roller groundout to third base from classmate Sean Dwyer (Tavares, Fla./Tavares HS) brought the speedy centerfielder across the plate.
Responding with a run in the home half of the fourth, the Gators took a 6-1 advantage on a very uncommon play. With the bases loaded and one out, a routine pop up to freshman Zack Tillery (Naples, Fla./Barron Collier HS) at third base looked to be simply the second out of the inning, however as junior catcher Mike Reeves (Peterborough, Ontario/St. Peter's Secondary) jogged out for a mound visit, the runner from third came home to score as the plate umpire never issued a timeout following the out at third.
With his second homerun of the series, Valencia made it a 6-3 game in the top of the sixth inning with a two-run opposite field shot. Following a one-out single by Gebhart into centerfield, Valencia roped a 2-2 pitch just over the fence in right field for his team-leading second home run of the season.
After junior lefty Andrew Polly (Broken Arrow, Okla./Tulsa Union HS/Cowley County CC) picked up his second strikeout of the game in the eighth, a bloop single by Josh Tobias dropped into right field and was followed with a two-run home run by leadoff hitter Nolan Fontana, pushing the Gators lead to five runs, 8-3. Florida then worked a 1-2-3 top of the ninth to come away with the five-run victory.
Sophomore lefty starter Brandon Bixler (Oviedo, Fla./Hagerty HS) dropped to 2-2 after throwing four innings and allowing six runs on three hits, adding six walks and one strikeout. Polly tossed the final four innings for the Green and Blue, allowing two runs on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts.
At the plate the Eagles scored three runs on six hits. Gebhart led the offensive effort, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored, while Valencia drove in two RBI and scored once in a 1-for-4 night. Bednar (1-for-4), Reeves (1-for-4) and freshman Michael Suchy (Bradenton, Fla./Southeast HS) (1-for-2) added the Eagles' other three hits in the contest.
Florida plated eight runs on seven hits and one FGCU error, while matching a season-high eight walks. Starting the game for the Gators, Brian Johnson improved to 2-0 after hurling six innings and allowing three runs on five hits, while registering six strikeouts.
The two squads will return to McKethan Stadium for the series finale on Sunday beginning at 1 p.m. Senior right-hander Jason Forjet (Pembroke Pines, Fla./Nova HS) will start the contest on the mound for the Eagles, while sophomore righty Jonathon Crawford is slated to start for the Gators. The Sunday afternoon contest will be aired live on Fox Sun Sports, channels 653 on Directv and 402 on Comcast Xfinity, in Southwest Florida.
Sunday, Mar. 11 – 1:00 p.m.
FGCU – RHP Jason Forjet, Sr. (0-1, 2.50 ERA, 18.0 IP, 16 SO, 4 BB, .260 B/Avg.)
UF – RHP Jonathon Crawford, So. (1-1, 6.94 ERA, 11.2 IP, 16 SO, 5 BB, .333 B/Avg.)

After previously adding the DZone.com voting buttons manually to each post (which you really don't want to do every time as you need to set the post URL manually for the index page) I have modified the JavaScript provided by DZone and integrated some code into the WordPress files so that a button is added automatically on each post now just like the button to the left of this text.
Uploading The Modified JavaScript File
I noticed that DZone isn't currently sending a cache header on every JavaScript request and that the snippet you are given to integrate into your post redirects via a 302 header to the real file. If you have 5 DZone buttons on your blog's homepage (if you are displaying 5 posts) that means 10 additional HTTP requests to DZone.com that take time and delay the page loading process.
If you have already integrated the JavaScript snippet provided by DZone you should remove it now otherwise you will get two buttons per post. Just download this file and upload it to a directory of your choice on your server. You may even use the WordPress uploader but write down the final path to the JavaScript file as you need to enter it in the next step.
Now open Appearance > Editor in the WordPress Admin Panel on the left hand side and click on header.php on the right hand side. Add the following line somewhere within the  of the document:
1 |
 |
Replace "/js/dzone.js" by the path where you have uploaded the dzone.js file before. Then click on "Update File".
Adding The Button To Every Post
After saving click on the link "single.php" on the right side just as you did before with the header.php file. Depending on your chosen WordPress theme the HTML code may look more or less like this:
1 2 |

 <?php the_content('
Read the rest of this entry »
'); ?> |
Just between the opened
 tag and the following <?php tag insert the snippet code:
1 |
 |
Thus the modified code will look like this:
1 |

<?php the_content('
Read the rest of this entry »
'); ?> |
Save the file by clicking on "Update File" afterwards.
Repeat this step for the index.php file and you're done.
If you are using the WP Super Cache plugin or any other caching plugin you may need to clear the cache otherwise you won't see the modified pages. When using WP Super Cache select Settings > WP Super Cache on the left side and then on the "Delete Cache" button on the page.
After reloading your blog's homepage or any article page you will now see a DZone button just like this article does.

General Information
Highland Community College, the first college in Kansas, provides lifelong learning opportunities and contributes to economic development to enhance the quality of life in the communities we serve.
The College also exists to serve each student. It provides educational leadership to help each individual become a well-informed, responsible citizen and a productive member of society.
Highland Community College began as Highland University in 1858, making it the first college in Kansas. After eight name changes, the College has been providing higher education opportunities to the people of Northeast Kansas for over 150 years. The College has traditionally prepared students to continue their studies at baccalaureate institutions. Studies conducted at the Regents universities in Kansas show that students who begin their college careers at HCC and then transfer do as well or better academically as all other students who transfer to those universities and those who start there.
Approximately 3,200 students are enrolled on the main campus or at our 33 regional locations in our nine county service area. The 33 locations are coordinated by six regional centers. HCC offers Associate degrees in 50 concentration areas and has 15 programs that are technical education degrees. The main campus is located in a small, rural Northeast Kansas community surrounded by agricultural land, and has 39 bulidings, including 18 apartment-style residence halls, one being a living/learning center for Fine Arts students.
The history and mission of the College can be described best as providing opportunities for higher education that citizens in the region would not have otherwise. Whether as a conduit to a four-year degree, entry to a technical trade, for professional enhancement, or personal development, the College has provided affordable access to higher education for thousands of proud alumni from Northeast Kansas.
Today, the College is financially sound and serving more students than any time in its history. The College is governed by a six member Board of Trustees elected from Doniphan County and is coordinated by the Kansas Board of Regents.

Fairborn —
A civil rights leader who was one of nine students in 1957 to integrate an all-white Arkansas high school will appear Thursday at Wright State University.
Minnijean Brown Trickey, one of the Little Rock Nine, will speak at noon in the Student Union. The free event, hosted by the university's Bolinga Black Cultural Resources Center, is open to the public.
"When we look at uncommon heroes, I think she is definitely one," said Bryce Hudson, the center's assistant director and relative of Brown Trickey. "When you talk about human rights, you talk about respect for life and respecting all. During that critical time period the Little Rock Nine, Dr. King, all these uncommon unsung heroes, set the platform for which diversity and inclusion stand on today."
In 1957, a federal court ordered Central High School officials to comply with the Supreme Court's 1954-55 Brown vs. Board of Education decision that ended public school segregation. Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus defied the court's orders at first, but eventually agreed to use the National Guard to protect Brown Trickey and eight other black students as they entered Central High School, accordng to the U.S. Department of the Interior.
Faubus did this only after a meeting with President Dwight D. Eisenhower. However, Faubus changed his mind again and dismissed the troops, leaving the black students exposed to an angry white mob. When Faubus refused to restore the National Guard's protection, Eisenhower dispatched 101st Airborne Division paratroopers to Little Rock and put the National Guard under federal command.
"Students should know that after the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling things did not change immediately because it also did not change the hearts of people," said Patricia Day, history teacher at Thurgood Marshall High School. "Young people should pay attention and many others about what happened in the segregated south because it is American history and not black history."
Margaret Peters, a local historian and retired Dayton Public School teacher, agrees.
"They don't know how hard the dominant society has worked for generations to make sure that black kids did not get an education," Peters said. "If you have one group that is allowed to and encouraged to get as much education as possible and then you have another group that is denied that opportunity, what it does is keep them from making the same strides economically. They can't get the jobs that make the good salaries."
WHAT: The Bolinga Black Cultural Resources Center presents Taking a stance, making a change event with guest speaker Minnijean Brown Trickey, one of the Little Rock Nine.
WHEN: Noon, Thursday
WHERE: Apollo Room inside Wright State University's Student Union, 3640 Colonel Glenn Highway, Fairborn.

The vote marked the first major act of Congress' lame-duck session, with Democrats and Republicans alike hopeful that it would set the stage for members working together more.
"I hope that some of this rubs off on some of the bills that we're going to be considering in the days and weeks to come, but this really is how this House of Representatives should be run," said Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass.
"Bipartisanship is breaking out all over around here," observed Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash. Like most others, he dismissed the threats of Russian retaliation, saying, "If that's the policy of their government, that will be the policy of their government."
The deal comes after Russia formally joined the World Trade Organization this summer.
Backers said the pact would allow the United States to capitalize on reduced tariffs for many goods, including airplanes. With duties on commercial planes set to be slashed in half, Boeing, which has its largest manufacturing plants in Washington state, said in a statement that it expected to compete for more business: Russian airlines are gearing up to buy nearly 900 commercial airplanes valued at about $100 billion during the next 20 years, the company said.
Republican Rep. Dave Reichert, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, called the legislation "a no-cost job creator" and said it would be a boon to his home state of Washington, which ranked fifth among the states in exports to Russia last year.
Republican Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan, the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, predicted that the agreement would double, or perhaps even triple, U.S. exports to Russia within five years. Last year, U.S. exports to Russia hit $11 billion, with the state of Texas leading the way.
Some were pessimistic, however.
Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., who voted against the bill, predicted the biggest export will be U.S. jobs and that the same trade abuses the United States is experiencing in China will be replicated in Russia.
"This is a recipe for more job losses," he said.

Author Jim Burns believes the key to instilling in children a healthy, values-centered view of sexuality is to start the discussion early--being open and honest at every stage. The Pure Foundations series is already guiding parents of preteens and teens through potentially awkward conversations. Now two fully illustrated books--one for pre-readers and one for early readers--complete the series.
God Made Your Body provides the basic foundation that God created our bodies and wants us to honor Him with our bodies. Through engaging text and eye-catching, kid-friendly illustrations, children ages 3 to 5 will learn that boys' and girls' bodies are different--and those differences mean boys and girls can grow up to become daddies and mommies.

Nordic Acquires Rights to Trasylol from Bayer
Nordic Group announced today that it has reached an agreement with Bayer HealthCare in which Nordic will acquire Trasylol (aprotinin injection) worldwide excluding the United States. Under this agreement, Nordic will become the Marketing Authorization Holder for aprotinin in the relevant Territories. This follows the opinion of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) from February 2012, recommending that the marketing authorisation for aprotinin should be reinstated in the European Union. The recommendation took into account a full review of the benefits and risks of all antifibrinolytic medicines, which found that the results of the study on which the suspension of aprotinin was based were unreliable. This positive opinion is expected to be ratified by the European Commission later in 2012.
Nordic will be managing global supplies of aprotinin in the relevant Territories.

UM School of Pharmacy Hosts Successful Korean/FDA Workshop
Getting more and better drugs to market for patients was the ultimate goal of the University of Maryland
School of Pharmacy'
s (SOP) first Korean/U.S. workshop on drug regulation and marketing from March 18 to 22.
In the meantime, each participating group--pharmaceutical company executives, faculty, students, and food and drug regulators from both countries--said they benefited greatly from the unique opportunity of the workshop, which was largely made possible by a new Korea-U.S.
Free Trade Agreement reached a year ago.
Visiting executives from six South Korean companies--each with a top-10 share of the pharmaceutical market in that country--and several leading professors from that country, became more familiar with the U.S. drug regulatory system and approval processes, plus key elements of the workings of clinical trials in this country, through the workshop.
They attended 13 lectures by SOP professors on topics ranging from U.S. medication regulatory laws to clinical trial design in this country. And they heard lectures from three U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials, two University of Maryland
School of Medicine
professors, and executives of two U.S. companies.
The SOP faculty--those presenting and others in attendance--got their own firsthand 'course' on the South Korean pharmaceutical industry by fielding questions and comments from the visitors in session and socially.
Natalie D. Eddington, PhD, FAAPS, FCP
, dean and professor of the School of Pharmacy, said, "We are really excited about the opportunities and the partnership possibilities. I hope that every spring we will bring a contingent from South Korea so this becomes an annual conference."
Wonro Lee, (pictured with Eddington) executive director of the State of Maryland Business Office for South Korea located at the JG Business Link International in Gaithersburg, Md., said, "The workshop was like a course in U.S. regulatory processes with topics that matched well with the diversity of expertise represented by the Koreans' interests."
The workshop was scheduled during the School's spring break. Yet, 10 South Korean and Korean-American students--many fluent in the Korean language--took opportunities throughout the week to converse with South Korean company executives, thus enhancing their future career options.
Third-year SOP student
Hae Jin Cho
said "though I had learned the workshop contents in class through my pharmacy education, the Korean delegation visit has provided me an opportunity to learn the similarities and differences of the U.S. and the Korean FDA regulations and their drug development processes."
Regulatory comparisons were also a keen interest of South Korean businesswoman Bo-Ram Lee of the department of clinical operations management at Celltrion Inc. Three months ago, the company marketed in South Korea a biosimilar version of the Johnson & Johnson medication Remicade, which is indicated for rheumatoid arthritis. Lee and company colleague Kyungmin Park said they are planning to apply to the FDA to start the process for marketing the biologic product in this country.
Lee said, "The lectures were very informative and beneficial, especially from the FDA officials." She appreciated the direct communication with FDA officials and her interaction with Frank Palumbo, PhD, JD, executive director of the SOP's Center on Drugs and Public Policy, and with other faculty, "considering the more complex development process necessary for a generic biologic medication than for [marketing] a pill composed of a molecular compound," she said.
Wonro Lee commented that because Bo-Ram Lee's Celltrion is one of the leading edge companies in South Korea in the biologics field, "Other [South Korean] companies are waiting with bated breath to see how they do [with the FDA]. They have had more international experience in biologics than most in Korea."
Fourth-year SOP student from Korea,
Seojin Yang
, who volunteered as a special liaison to communicate announcements and other information in the Korean language, said she had been excited to see Dean Eddington's email request for student volunteers. "Wow, I can do something for my country, too," said Yang. "It is good to know the regulatory information in both Korea and the U.S. When there is a drug to market in Korea, it will help [U.S. drug makers] to know the Korean system and for the Koreans it will help them to know the FDA regulation process to market in the U.S."
Her central role in the workshop may have changed Yang's career plans also, she said. She has applied for a pharmacy residency after earning her PharmD degree in May. However, she said, "Now, because of the workshop and particularly from Dr. Polli's influence [workshop lecturer
James Polli, PhD
, an SOP professor] about regulatory science, I may want to go into that area."
The South Korean delegation included employees of Green Cross Corp., Dong-A Pharm Co. Ltd., Daewoong Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd, GL Pharm. Tech. Corp., Celltrion Inc., HanAll BioPharma Co. Ltd.; three professors from South Korea's Chonbuk National University Medical School; and a physician from the Kyungpook National University Hospital Clinical Trial Center.
Professor Soo-Wan Chae, MD, PhD, of Chonbuk University attended the workshop with a strong interest in locating "a presence" for his university at the
University of Maryland BioPark
. Chonbuk University officials visited the BioPark last year and again last month, meeting with
Jane Shaab
, UM assistant vice president for economic development.
Chae said, "We plan to enter the Park after ironing out some legal and financial regulations. We will also bring employees and will want to work with the School of Pharmacy students. Being at the BioPark will support our business relations, and the students will help in translating and liaison with the School."
Mohamed Al-Ibrahim, MB, ChB, FACP, president and chief medical officer for SNBL Clinical Pharmacology Center at the BioPark, met with several of the companies. "The Koreans benefited with a look at the drug development process in the United States for two reasons," he said. "First, we are still the biggest market in the world for pharmaceuticals. Second, a number of Korean pharmaceutical companies now have a footprint in this country." There are seven South Korean-owned pharm or biopharma companies in Maryland, according to Bradley Gillenwater, Asia regional manager at the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development.
Al-Ibrahim said that the visitors took an interest in SNBL's clinical trial capabilities. "They are also interested in exchange of drugs; there are a number of U.S. companies, CROs [contract research organizations], that are in South Korea doing early-stage clinical trials." Al-Ibrahim said the SNBL business development group is reviewing collaborative possibilities raised by the South Korean delegation visit.
"This effort was just great. I take my hat off to the School for the conference," he said.

+ Angry encounter shocks teen cyclist
Dear Editor:
My eyes lay fixed on the road as it moved quickly beneath my bike. I was tired, focused and thirsty, finishing up the last leg of my quick afternoon ride.
I was speeding through the Country Club of Lakewood Ranch, when a loud car horn came from behind me, nearly knocking me off of my bike from the jolt I received. To my left, I was greeted by an elderly couple: a woman in the driver's seat, glaring at me as her husband probably yelled obscenities at me.
Needless to say, I was livid. I did what most naïve, stupid teenagers do: I acted on impulse and performed a certain inappropriate gesture with my free hand in his direction. I thought to myself as he sped off, soon to be slowed by a crossing golf cart, "Why is it that he was so irritated by my riding on the side of the road, when a golf cart is actually slowing this poor sap down." I ignored this man and continued my exercise.
About two minutes later, I met up with him at a Country Club entrance and waved to him as I sarcastically yelled, "Thank you, sir! That was extremely kind of you!" I waited as he struggled opening his car window — I think his better half locked the window on him — and eventually opened the car door as he exclaimed that I should not have been riding on this road; I was not allowed, because those roads are private, and it's not permitted for one to ride his or her bike on those roads. As I heard these words spew from his mouth, I was extremely shocked: It seems this man knew more about my bicycling rights than I did.
Florida law states every car must give a bicyclist three feet of leeway on any public road. It also seems to be that many people in the Country Club believe the roads they live on are private. They are not. The Lake Club, adjacent to the Country Club, is private, and I do respect the rights of those residents. The roads of the Country Club are paid for, and maintained by, the Manatee County government. Everybody who lives in Manatee County and pays taxes owns a piece of Arnold Palmer Green.
I realize that as a 17-year-old, I don't pay taxes, but my parents do. I know my rights as a bicyclist and I feel that many people in Manatee don't respect these rights. I also believe that many people in the Country Club feel that they live in an extremely exclusive, private community. Just because there's a gate on the border doesn't mean the roads that lie behind it are private.
