conservatives sponsored by National Review would resemble a wake mourn ing the White House loss Far from it The success in maintaining a Republican majority in Congress has given conservatives a confidence they have mostly lacked in the postReagan years Conservatives believe they have won the intel lectual arguments about the excessive size and cost of government and ate winning the battle over tax es welfare illegal immigration and the general cliltural rot Still left to conquer are the issues of entitlements racial and gender quotas and the role of America in the world The Christian Coalitions Ralph Reed made the most intriguing remark when he told me that we are going to have to invent a presidential candidate for the year By that he meant finding a per son who already subscribes to what most conserv atives believe rather than attempting to squeeze a moderatetoliberal Republican into an illuming ideological suit Perhaps this person would resemble former Wyoming Republican Sen Malcolm Wallop who presented a speech on the cruise that he had deliv ered the previous week to the economically con servative Cato Institute Wallop said that conservatives must not see themselves locked in a shotgun marriage to the Republican Parry He indicted the GOP leadership for tacitly accepting the liberals premise that the voters disapprove of the conservative vision of American society In their view piety propriety responsibility stand ing for the rights of citizens and families against bureaucratic encroachment are the hallmarks of and so the Republican leadership pressed upon candidates nationwide an agenda best characterized as Rockefeller Republicanism fiscal astringency combined with claims of superior com petence in management and guilty protestations of moderation Basically the Michael Dukakis campaign Meanwhile President Clinton and the Democrats baldly cast themselves as the defenders of families religion indeed our values against dark forces threatening According to exit polls about 25 percent of selfdescribed con servatives and a large majority of moderates most of whom share conservative cultural views voted to reelect the pres ident Wallop listed specifically how and why conservatives should extricate themselves from a par ty mentality There are too many to recount here but the first step is to stop viewing the party as the exclusive property of Rockefeller Republicans who have by default been setting the partys agenda Those Repub licans have lost the White House twice in the past two national elections compared to the threeinarow vic tories delivered by two Reagan administrations and one Bush administration Republican moderates have suckered the media and too many conservatives into believing conserv atives cant win without moderates and that conser Cal Thomas Syndicated Columnist vative views are political death The last 16 years prove the opposite Victories were delivered to con servative ideas not Rockefeller Republican ideas The Rockefeller bunch should be expected to follow the lead of conservatives which is the future of their par ty and to submit to that leadership As conservatives dominate the intellectual and political high seas Wallop had a word of caution My concern is with the character of American con servatism In Europe conservatives long ago gave up the principled battle against the welfare state became just another set of claimants and have taken up the antiimmigration cause not without racism If you want to see a conservatism more niggardly and with less of a future than Nixons Doles Pete Wil sons or Christine Whitmans just go to Europe The American conservative tradition which began with Washington and Adams is founded on a con cern for character No phrase came from Washington more often than we have a national character to Wallop correctly asserted that America with each passing year resembles less what the Founders intended and more like the countries our immigrant forefathers fled This is happening in large he said because the people who run our government our universities our media the entertainment indus try the arts and so forth have used the enormous powers of the government to make it Conservatism has many obstacles to overcome not the least of which is the stereotype of meanspirit edness and But like big ships great social movements take time to turn around Conservatives are on the right course The question is should they be on the Republican boat or abandon ship idontfneaniD Letter to the Editor Guadalupo is now getting Its

--Results from AbbVie's first quarter as independent company top expectations
--Continued strong sales growth for arthritis drug Humira
--AbbVie lost exclusivity for heart drug TriCor
(Adds details throughout; CEO comment in 9th paragraph.)
By Peter Loftus
AbbVie Inc. (ABBV) reported a 9.6% rise in profit for its first quarter as an independent company, helped by continued strong sales growth for arthritis drug Humira.
AbbVie is the pharmaceutical business spun off from Abbott Laboratories (ABT) at the beginning of this year. AbbVie has pegged its near-term growth prospects to Humira, a drug to treat rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions, while hoping to bring other drugs to market in coming years including a treatment regimen for hepatitis C.
AbbVie's quarterly results topped Wall Street expectations, and the company reiterated its prior forecast of full-year 2013 earnings. AbbVie shares have risen nearly 30% year-to-date, closing Thursday at $44.24.
For the first quarter ended March 31, the North Chicago, Ill., company earned $968 million, or 60 cents a share, versus $883 million, or 56 cents a share, a year earlier. The prior-year figure was based on the number of AbbVie share distributed by Abbott Labs on Jan. 1.
The latest quarter included amortization of intangible assets, separation and other costs; excluding these, earnings were 68 cents a share.
First-quarter sales rose 3.7% to $4.33 billion. Unfavorable foreign-exchange reduced sales by 1.4%.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were expecting earnings of 67 cents a share on revenue of $4.3 billion.
Global sales of Humira increased 16% to $2.24 billion. AbbVie said U.S. sales of the drug rose 23.7% due to increased use for dermatology and gastroenterology conditions.
"We continue to see strong momentum from Humira," AbbVie Chief Executive Richard A. Gonzalez said on a conference call with analysts Friday.
AbbVie also posted sales growth for testosterone-replacement drug AndroGel.
But AbbVie saw declines for several of its drugs. Sales declined for the drugs Niaspan, TriCor and Trilipix, which treat cholesterol and abnormal lipid levels. Generic versions of TriCor became available last year, and generic competition is expected to begin for Niaspan and Trilipix by early 2014.
Mr. Gonzalez called 2013 "a year of transition as we absorb the impact from loss of exclusivity" for these heart drugs.
AbbVie said late-stage, phase 3 clinical trials for its experimental hepatitis C drug regimen are underway and "rapidly advancing." The company expects to submit the regimen for regulatory approval in mid-2014, with possible market entry in early 2015.

In 2011-2012, Texas students were introduced to a new state mandated test known as STAAR End-of-Course (EOC). The EOC examinations replaced the old state mandated test, TAKS. Students are now required to acheive a level 2 on five EOC's to graduate. The EOCs that students must take for graduation are; English I, English II, Algebra I, Biology and US History. EOC retesting will be held on the Lamar campus on December 01-05, 2014 and again in May. Notifications will go out to all students that need to test via parent call out and parent letter (to be brought home by the student). Scores will be available in early January. For more information please contact Ms. Thomas in the Testing Office 682-867-8336.

Lamar High School IB Diploma
CAS is an integral part of the Lamar High School IB Diploma for the two years of the program. Participation in each of the three areas (creativity, action, and service) is required each year. The IB Organization requires that important educational experiences also take place outside of the classroom. The willingness to be of service to the community is seen as an important complement to the intellectual development of the student.
Dallas and Jada chose as one of their activities to volunteer for the North Texas Basset Rescue's Annual Basset Shuffle by drawing pictures of Basset Hounds. They raised and donated close to $300 by selling each picture for $5. That comes out to 60 custom sketches in about 4 hours.
Thank you for your hard work and compassion for this rescue group!

I trust everyone is staying warm as colder temperatures have taken over much of the country. But, things are heating up here at K-State both on the playing field and in the classroom as the fall semester is nearing completion. Let's get right to the updates this week starting with our 2015 football schedule and a look at this weekend's NCAA Cross Country Championships.
Laura Galvan Selected to NCAA Cross Country Championships
A big congratulations is in order for senior Laura Galvan and new head cross country coach Ryun Godfrey as Laura recently earned an at-large selection to this year's NCAA Cross Country Championships which will be held Saturday in Indiana. She earned the at-large bid by being the fifth-place non-championship team individual in the Midwest Regional last weekend and finishing higher than any other fifth place finisher across the regional championship competition. Congrats to Laura and we wish her the best this weekend.
2015 Football Schedule to be Announced Later Today
Later this afternoon, the Big 12 Conference will release the full conference schedule for the 2015 football season, and we will follow the Big 12 release with our own complete schedule. Once again we are excited to have seven home games in the friendly confines of Bill Snyder Family Stadium including five Big 12 games in MHK! I also want to share the news with you first that several weeks ago the Big 12 staff asked K-State to host another special Thursday night primetime game in early November 2015 to enable the conference to fulfill its contractual obligation with our television partners. Commissioner Bowlsby has assured President Schulz and me that we will not be asked to host a Thursday night match-up in 2016 and 2017 since we will have hosted such games in consecutive seasons. As we have discussed over the last several years a Thursday game does provide unparalleled national exposure and excitement, but we do know that it creates a challenge for some of our fans. The environment and atmosphere at the Auburn game earlier this season was absolutely terrific - one of the best I have ever witnessed in person - and I know our fans will do their part in making the 2015 season even more special as we look to continue our current home sellout streak which will reach 20 games next weekend against KU! Stay tuned to k-statesports.com later today for our full release regarding the 2015 schedule.

Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- The European Union should close a loophole in bank capital rules that rates sovereign debt as risk-free and allows lenders to escape holding reserves against possible losses, the Finance Watch lobby group said.
"The existence of zero-risk weights is fundamentally flawed and misleading, as there is no such thing as risk-free assets," said the research, published yesterday.
Losses on European sovereign debt have grown since the onset of the Euro area financial crisis that may threaten the survival of the euro. Greece is in discussions with private creditors to sign a debt-swap deal three months after private bondholders agreed to a 50 percent cut in the face value of more than 200 billion euros ($262 billion) of debt.
"Risk weights penalize non-rated exposures," including some corporate and retail investments that have a 100 percent risk-weight attributed to them, Finance Watch said.
The Brussels-based group, whose members include labor unions and housing associations, also called for regulators to impose a so-called leverage ratio on banks that would force them to hold a minimum amount of capital against their assets without taking account of risk.

November 26, 2014
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - Olympic swimmer Amy Van Dyken-Rouen is being released from a Denver-area hospital to continue her rehabilitation after an all-terrain vehicle crash left the 41-year-old paralyzed just below the waist.
Van Dyken-Rouen is leaving Craig Hospital on Thursday, just over two months after the accident in Arizona on June 6.
The six-time Olympic gold medalist will speak to media after her release. She has been keeping fans informed about her recovery on social media, including boasting on Twitter earlier this month that she had finally graduated from a hospital bed to a regular bed. She also posted a photo of her new wheelchair.
The odds of her ever walking again are long but she has impressed her doctors and fans with her positive attitude.

The handling of Green's departure could scarcely have been worse
Dominic Walsh
Britain's attempts to rebalance the economy suffered a setback in the three months to September as exports and business investment fell, leaving Britain's indebted consumers propping up growth once again. Revised estimates of GDP growth in the third quarter were unchanged, at 0.7 per cent, but the detail in the Office for National Statistics' latest figures raised concerns. Exports shrank by 0.4 per cent, while imports increased by 1.4 per cent, widening the trade deficit to £11.2 billion, its largest in a year. The shortfall acted as an economic drag, knocking 0.5 percentage points off third-quarter growth. Business investment also disappointed, shrinking 0.7 per cent in the three-month period, after a strong rebound over the past year. It was the first decline since the second quarter of 2013. The weakness in the areas of the economy that the government hoped to see expand was offset by a 0.8 per cent increase in household spending – the strongest performance in four years. Consumer spending has now grown for 13 consecutive quarters, and a separate retail sales survey by the CBI suggested the pace of growth should "accelerate". At the same time, government consumption rose 1.1 per cent, helping to support the overall 0.7 per cent GDP expansion. Government spending contributed 0.2 percentage points to GDP growth and household consumption 0.5 percentage points. Economists pointed out that the state's contribution wo
The owners of Britain's largest mobile network have confirmed that they have entered talks with BT regarding a potential acquisition. EE, which was formed via the 2010 merger of Orange and T-Mobile, is owned by Orange of France and Deutsche Telekom. Both companies are willing sellers of the UK network and have previously considered a float of the company. BT, which on Monday said it had been approached by Telefonica about a sale of its O2 network in the UK, had already intimated that it was in talks with another company, widely understood to be EE. The talks were described as "highly preliminary exploratory discussions with BT" and that the Continental telecoms companies were exploring "various strategic options". Analysts have argued that O2 is a more logical acquisition for BT, which demerged the mobile network in 2001 as part of a rescue rights issu
Hopes that a weak and divided Opec could arrest the dramatic slump in oil prices when the cartel meets in Vienna tomorrow were fading last night. The price of Brent crude fell by more than $1 a barrel in an hour yesterday to $78.41, close to a four-year low, after a fruitless day of frantic shuttle diplomacy to work towards an agreement before the summit. Opec members Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and Mexico held talks with Russia, which is a leading producer but not part of the cartel of oil-producing nations, about possible co-ordinated production cuts. However, Rafael Ramírez, the foreign minister of Venezuela, admitted that no progress had been made. "We discussed the situation in the market, we shared our points of view, we need to keep in contact and we agreed to meet again in three months," he said. The cartel is deeply divided over how to respond to the 30 per cent slump in prices

Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT) announced on Wednesday that it plans to split into two separate companies. The first company, retaining the Abbott name, will be a diversified medical products company. The second will focus on research-based pharmaceuticals. Wall Street clearly liked the move as evidenced by the roughly 6% jump in Abbott stock between the close on Tuesday and open on Wednesday. But will this move unlock shareholder value and be profitable for individual holders of Abbott stock?
Pharmaceutical companies have faced declining P/Es for years as excitement for new products has waned and the looming threat of patent expirations has neared. Companies have responded in one of two ways. First, companies like Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY) and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) have sought to diversify their businesses to mitigate the loss of revenues due to a single product. Second, companies like Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) have sought to shed off business units to refocus the company one what it perceives as its core strength. Abbott follows this second model, and the fact that the name will remain with the medical products company suggests that it sees its strength there.
Diversified Medical Products
The new Abbott will have about $22 billion in annual revenue, or about 56% of the pre-split amount. About 28% of this revenue will come from nutritional products such as Similac and Isomil infant formulae, the fiber supplement Ensure, and Prosure, a nutritional supplement designed to reverse weight loss associated with cancer. A fourth of the revenue is from Abbott's "Established Pharmaceuticals" division, which markets generic pharmaceutical products internationally. About 19% of revenue will come from a diversified diagnostics product line. Another 16% of the new Abbott will come from Abbott Vascular, which manufacturers or markets coronary stents and catheters. The remainder of revenue comes from Medical Optics Devices (5% of revenue) and Diabetes products (7% of revenue).
The new Abbott is primarily an international company, with about two-thirds of revenues coming from international markets, and 40% from emerging markets. This leads to a high growth profile. Each segment described above had double-digit international revenue growth compared to the third quarter of 2010, and a blended year over year growth rate of 13%.
These divisions also have promising products in the pipeline. The Nutrition division is currently conducting 30 clinical trials across the areas of immunity, cognition, inflammation, lean body mass, metabolism, and tolerances. Recent new products in this division include Ensure® with Revigor, PediaSure SideKicks, ZonePerfect® Sweet & Salty nutrition bars and Glucerna® Hunger Smart shakes and bars. New diagnostic products introduced in 2011 include tests for leukemia, hepatitis C, cytomegalovirus, ovarian cancer, and HIV. Abbott plans to release 20 new vascular products over the next 5 years with a mix of incremental upgrades and brand-new technologies. Recently released or about to be released products include the ABSORB Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold, MitraClip, and several products in the XIENCE drug-eluting stent line. Abbott's other divisions have similar strong innovation records and growth prospects.
Research-Based Pharmaceuticals
What about Abbott's research-based pharmaceuticals spinoff? This company will have about 45% of the pre-split revenues, but perhaps 60% of profits. About half of the sales of this spinoff will be due to Humira, Abbott's drug to relieve the symptoms (generally pain and swelling) of various autoimmune disorders including rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease. Abbott has been successful in expanding the number of indications that Humira has been approved for, leading to a high growth rate (23% over the past year). Other major products in this new company will be the anti-HIV treatment Kaletra with about 7% of sales and the cholesterol treatments TriCor and Trilipix responsible for a combined 10% of sales.
Analysts differ on the quality and depth of Abbott's pharmaceutical pipeline, but there are a number of treatments currently in Phase 3 clinical trials. Elotuzumab is a monoclonal antibody treatment for multiple myeloma. Bardoxolone is being investigated for treatment of chronic kidney disease. Daclizumab, previously approved in Europe to prevent rejection of organ transplants, is in a Phase 3 trial to examine its efficacy as a multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment. Abbott has three compounds in Phase 2 trials for the treatment of hepatitis C, as well as 11 compounds in clinical trials for cancer and more than a dozen compounds in clinical trials for neurscience and pain indications. The market potential of these compounds is beyond the scope of this article, but Abbott's commitment to research and many compounds in clinical trials suggest continued growth in research-based pharmaceuticals.
Valuing Each Spinoff Company
The diversified medical products company will have a product profile similar to companies such as Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Medtronic (NYSE:MDT), and Boston Scientific (NYSE:BSX). These companies trade at P/Es of 13, 10, and 12, giving us a nice range of P/Es for the new Abbott labs of 10-13, or a stock price range of perhaps $19 - 24 per share. The new Abbott should have significantly stronger growth prospects than any of these competitors, however, and so may have P/E expansion potential. Applying a PEG ratio of 1.5 to this segment would give a stock price of $37.
The drug spinoff will derive nearly half of its revenues from the single product Humira. Although Humira maintains its patent through 2016, the focus on a single product has been a concern for analysts and investors. A worst-case valuation would rank it with other pharmaceutical companies who have steep patent cliffs, such as Pfizer (PFE) and Eli Lilly (LLY), which have recently been trading at P/Es of 8-9. This would suggest a valuation of perhaps $22 - 25. An aggressive valuation would take into account the 26% year over year sales growth of Humira, and 13% of the Proprietary Pharmaceuticals division overall, as well as a promising pipeline, and assign a PEG ratio of 1.5 to give a stock price of $55 per share. A more conservative valuation would assign a PEG ratio of 1.0, for a PE ratio of 13, to give a stock price of $36.
Combining the valuation estimates for the two segments suggest a conservative valuation of $60 per pre-split share, which is a modest increase from the current stock price that shows Abbott stock is already undervalued. The upside potential of each segment is significant, with a long-term 13% growth rate giving a potential near term value of perhaps $90. The downside would be to apply the low P/Es of companies facing severe patent cliffs to Abbott (which does not face a near-term patent cliff) giving a combined valuation of $45. With a current stock price of ~$54, the upside/downside ratio of 4:1, combined with a 13% growth rate and 3.6% yield, makes Abbott a very attractive investment - whether one company or two.
Frankly, the two companies will not appear much different from the parent company. Both spinoffs will be nicely profitable, with significant sales in international markets including emerging markets. Both companies have strong growth rates (including identical 13% year over year revenue growth) with promising products in the pipeline. And Abbott has committed to the total dividend of the two companies equaling the current dividend. Abbott's best hope for this split unlocking shareholder value is changing investor psychology, but both halves are attractive long-term investments.

From Goya to Google, the Impact of Immigrant Entrepreneurs in Spurring Job Creation
National Entrepreneurship Month is a perfect time to celebrate the immigrant innovators who have always played a major role in growing the American economy - from the Russian-born Sergey Brin (founder of technology giant Google in a California garage) to the Spanish-born Prudencio and Carolina Unanue (founders of Goya, the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the US).
When I attended business school a few years ago, over 35% of my classmates were international. Many of us were back in graduate school with a goal of pursuing entrepreneurship. Not only were my international classmates coming to the U.S. because they knew we offered the best graduate school education, many also had dreams of starting a company in the U.S.
Today, many are doing just that.
Hamdi Ulukaya, founder of Agro Farma, Inc. and producer of Chobani yogurt – now a $700 million business – is one success story and example of an SBA loan recipient. With an SBA 504 loan, Hamdi was able to purchase a Kraft Foods plant in August 2005 and by 2007 he had shipped his first order of Chobani yogurt. Less than four years later, Agro Farma has grown to 670 employees running three full-time shifts and producing 1.2 million cases of Chobani weekly.
Hamdi's story is like many others. From Austin to Boston, immigrants are overcoming barriers in order to stay here and create good jobs across industry sectors and across geographies.
An SBA Office of Advocacy report from November 2008 cites that immigrants made up 12.2 percent of the total U.S. workforce and owned 10.8 percent of all businesses with employees. The total business income generated by immigrant business owners was $67 billion, representing 11.6 percent of all business income in the United States. Also, immigrants are nearly 30 percent more likely to start a business than are non-immigrants.
As part of the White House Startup America initiative, the Obama Administration has taken action to reduce barriers facing immigrant entrepreneurs, from allowing more talented science and math graduates to stay in the country longer to making it easier to start a company in the U.S. Just last month, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a new "Entrepreneurs in Residence" initiative that will draw on the skills of business experts to fully realize the job-creating potential of current immigration law in order to strengthen USCIS policies and practices surrounding immigrant investors and entrepreneurs.
That's because we need more stories of risk-takers like Hamdi Ulukaya. I know that there are international students – and immigrants throughout the U.S. – who are ready to follow in their footsteps. Let's continue to take the steps to support all entrepreneurs who want to build a business and create good American jobs.

Cammie Croft muses on the Energy Department's new blog and social media presence
There is more than meets the eye to the Energy Department's new Energy Blog. What is different about the Energy Blog is that it was created using Drupal open-source software, according to Cammie Croft, DOE's director of new media and citizen engagement. Croft adds that the rest of DOE's Web site likely will be reconfigured using Drupal in the future.
DOE's current information technology infrastructure was not dynamic enough to handle certain Web 2.0 technologies, so Drupal was a "common-sense" and inexpensive solution for providing the needed capabilities, Croft said in an interview.
The White House's Web site converted to Drupal in November 2009, giving a boost to the open-source movement. Croft previously served as deputy new media director in the White House and was involved with that transition.
"We were very happy with the transition to Drupal," Croft told Federal Computer Week. "It gave us a lot more flexibility."

"There is a significant advantage to utilizing a content management system with government precedent," Croft added. "One of the nice things [about] open-source development is that others are using Drupal and developing code specific for government space. It is nice to type into those existing platforms and add to it."
DOE debuted the Energy Blog, along with new presences on Facebook and Twitter, on July 20. And DOE's new Facebook page has already weathered its first public debate.
A team of new media staff members are monitoring the new Facebook page and responding to comments from the public there. On July 20, visitors raised the question of whether DOE ought to disclose the names of those staffers.
"Who are the members of your new media team?" wrote a visitor to the DOE Facebook page July 20. "Your salaries are funded by We the People, so can you shed any light in the name of that transparency?"
"Don't think we need to know their names," wrote another visitor. "It's cool if they want to tell us, but I don't think it's necessary."
To date, those DOE employees have not been identified. Often, more than one person is involved in preparing a response, Croft said. Even so, she acknowledged that such policies may spark debate.
"I think communicating in this space is still very new for everyone across government, and there is going to be a significant learning curve," Croft said. "Of course, we want to be as cognizant as possible, and as transparent as possible, and do our due diligence to protect the public. There is going to be a learning curve, and we may not get it 100 percent right out of the gate."

"We figured out that that program was a great situation for Taylor," Jean said.
Jean had no reservations about sending Taylor off to live with a host family like so many Canadian prospects do at that age.
"He's very independent," she said. "He was a kid who would go to camp for six weeks and he'd be all right."
Aronson was quite all right on the ice. A 6-foot, 196-pounder who models his game after Brian Rafalski of the Detroit Red Wings, Aronson had five goals and 25 assists in 71 games.
Those aren't gaudy numbers, but Aronson made himself known with his skating. He is ranked 88th among North American skaters by the NHL's Central Scouting Service.
"If he probably scored more, he'd be higher," said E.J. McGuire, NHL central scouting director.
"Usually statistics grab your eye, but 30 points in 71 games in this major junior league is pretty darn good. He's got good composure and he passes well."
Aronson also grades well off the ice. L.A. Junior Kings coach Jack Bowkus said the quiet and reserved Aronson is "a kid you want in your dressing room."
Johnston said Ducks and Kings personnel have been to Portland to scout Aronson, who said he has spoken with the Ducks.
No matter who picks him, Aronson will still be in disbelief. He never thought it possible to grow up in Southern California and get drafted, and the local angle of this weekend also makes it special.
"Not very many kids get the draft in their hometown when they're draft eligible," he said.
Aronson actually wouldn't be the first Placentia product to get drafted. T.J. Miller was chosen by New Jersey in 2006, and Aronson says he owes a debt of gratitude to players like him.
"You see all these (local) guys getting drafted and you think you have a chance," Aronson said. "They're paving the way for us."
