The FAA is awarding a contract to ITT Corp. and GE's Naverus to help accelerate the development of satellite-based procedures that will allow aircraft to fly more directly to their destinations. "NextGen will help deliver an environmentally friendly, more efficient traveling experience for the flying public," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
Under the $2.77 million contract, ITT Corp., the prime contractor, and GE's Naverus, the sub-contractor, will develop Required Navigation Performance (RNP) approach procedures into five airports: Ted Stevens Anchorage International, James M. Cox Dayton International, Kansas City International, General Mitchell International (Milwaukee) and Syracuse Hancock International. ITT Corp. and GE's Naverus will be responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining a total of 10 procedures – two for each airport. The FAA will closely monitor the work to make sure all safety and environmental steps are conducted properly. This effort will supplement the FAA's work to develop RNP procedures for airports across the country. The FAA has developed 305 RNP procedures.
"If you imagine highways in the sky, then these are high-speed off ramps," said Acting FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. "Aircraft using RNP approaches make a more direct and efficient approach into the airport, also decreasing fuel burn."
The FAA awarded the contract to ITT Corp. and GE's Naverus through a competitive process under the System Engineering 2020 contract, a portfolio of work designed to help the agency roll out NextGen. Fiscal year 2012 appropriations included funding for a contractor to develop and deliver NextGen procedures, and the FAA reauthorization bill called for the agency to demonstrate the ability of a contractor to design, implement and maintain these procedures.

Free Stuff Alert: Biddy Belly Giveaway
Tummy time has proven to be a great technique to help babies develop muscles and achieve gross motor skills. The only problem? Most babies just don't like it. Robin Tacchetti, a Jewish mother of three and a physical therapist, has invented a great item called The Biddy Belly to help encourage more happy tummy time.
The Biddy Belly not only helps take away the frustration of tummy time, but it is also cute and fun to play with. This tummy time mat is shaped like a giraffe and has many features for the baby to interact with including a "crinkle material" nose, a squeak and horn ears, and toys hanging off the side of the giraffes neck.

For anyone who wants to make money online you can do so with an affiliate marketing blog. Having a good attitude and finding your passion will get you on the right track to blogging. The next thing we need to do is to learn how to blog and learn all the techniques that lead to a successful blogger.
Online Marketing Expert
For anyone who wants to start making money blogging the most important thing to do is to find a good online marketing expert. I was lucky to be attending a seminar where I heard Sean Rasmussen speak and I was so impressed I purchased his Affiliate Marketing Mastery Program. This program is suitable for beginners and established bloggers. Sean is a highly successful Affiliate Marketer and one of the top online marketing experts in Australia, if not the world. Sean's program teaches you all the techniques he used to become an affiliate marketing success.
Getting Your Affiliate Marketing Blog Started
Once you have found your passion and chosen your niche you are ready to get started. The first thing you need to do is register and purchase a domain name, your domain name will be your website address – URL. There are different companies that you can purchase a domain name from, the one I use is Go Daddy.
Once you have purchased your domain name you are ready to set-up your website hosting. Website hosting is the platform/server where your website will be hosted. There are a number of companies that host websites. I like Hostgator because they have a selection of different hosting plans and you can upgrade your plan if needed further down the track
On Page SEO – Keyword Research
One of the most important steps to having a successful affiliate marketing blog are the keywords. Having the right keywords is critical in bringing traffic to your website. Keywords are a vital part of On Page SEO (search engine optimization). Before you start your blog it is essential to put time and effort into your keyword research. This is a step that should not be rushed and if you put the work into your research it will pay off.
Google have a free keyword research tool called Google Adwords. Another good keyword research tool which is a paid version is Market Samurai, you can also check out your SEO Competition, see how your site is ranking with rank tracker, plus more.
OFF Page SEO
Another way to gain traffic to your site is through Off Page SEO. Having backlinks to your site will help your sites ranking in Google, backlinks are when a website links to your site. There are a number of ways to get links to your site one way is to submit the site to RSS Directories and Web Directories. There are heaps of different off page SEO techniques you can use, Social Media is another one.
I am learning all these techniques through Sean Rasmussen's Affiliate Marketing Mastery Program. There are heaps of videos covering all these strategies, which will help build traffic to my affiliate marketing blog.
Once you have chosen the online marketing expert you wish to learn from. You need to work hard, take note of all the techniques and put them into action. This is the recipe to begin your journey to becoming a successful Affiliate Marketer.
My next post will be How to Find Keywords.

My weekend away was great, it was so nice to get out of NYC, even though I just went to another city. Bad thing: at the train station before I left I couldn't find my debit card. I guess I lost it some where because I couldn't find it any where. Other bad thing: on the train ride down I sat next to some guy who looked like an Amish Crocodile Dundee who not only kept trying to talk to me (I ignored and put my music on louder), but took of his shoes!! His feet SMELLED! I can't even describe it. And it was a sold out train so I couldn't move.
So I got to Union Station:
And met my friend and we headed for dinner. I'm sorry for the lack of food pictures, I had planned to take pictures of all my food all weekend, but for some reason I just didn't feel like myself all weekend. I don't know if I still felt sick from my dizziness/nausea the days before or if it was the heat and lack of hydration that was an issue but I just felt very odd the entire time. I usually take nonstop pictures anywhere I go so this was odd for me.
The next day we went to the Portrait Gallery, I love the architecture on the 3rd floor:
Then we had lunch at Potbelly and saw a Segway tour:
I just think these things are so stupid. And I'm sorry if anyone loves them, but they're just silly. And it's super obnoxious that they're allowed to ride on the sidewalk. Ok, rant over.
After lunch we headed over to Georgetown to do some shopping. I got some great deals on bras in the Gap, $8.99 each! And they're my favorite kind.
We talked down to the harbor:
I just love being by the water, there's something so comforting about it.
Then we noticed the Swedish Embassy. I always make fun of my friend because her ancestors are from Sweden so I had to get a picture of her in front of it:
After that we headed back to Alexandria and relaxed at her house for a while, then went to dinner at this great Italian restaurant.
On Sunday we walked around Alexandria and went to this really cool art gallery called the Torpedo Factory. I've actually sold them books which was funny. Then we headed into DC, had some lunch, and it was time for me to go home.
Overall it was a really good weekend. I just wish I had eaten a little better and ben less uncomfortable in the heat, but that's life.

The Expo Line is a light-rail line which resumes former service between Downtown Los Angeles and Culver City, with service to Santa Monica (Phase 2) planned to begin in 2015.[4] The line is named "Expo" as Exposition Boulevard, named after Exposition Park (Los Angeles), runs alongside most of the route. The first portion of Phase 1 of the Expo Line opened in April 2012;[5] the remaining two stations of Phase 1 opened on June 20, 2012.[6]

Service description[edit]
The line is being built in two phases; the first phase comprises the 8.6-mile (13.8 km)[2][5] section between Downtown Los Angeles and Culver City. Construction began in early 2006 and most stations opened to the public on April 28, 2012.[5] The Culver City and Farmdale stations opened on June 20, 2012.[5][6]
Design and construction on the 6.6-mile (10.6 km)[2] portion between Culver City and Santa Monica started in September 2011, with opening anticipated in 2015.[4]
Hours of operation[edit]
The Expo Line operates from approximately 5 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. on weekdays and until 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.[7]
As of June 2013, trains run approximately every 12 minutes during the daytime, every 10 minutes during the evening, and every 20 minutes after midnight.[7][8][9]
Maximum speed on the route is 55 mph (89 km/h).
Steam railroad[edit]
The line was built in 1875 as the steam-powered Los Angeles and Independence Railroad to bring mining ore to ships in Santa Monica harbor and as a passenger excursion train to the beach—first independently and later after purchase by the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1877. When the Santa Monica harbor closed to shipping traffic in 1909 the line was leased to Pacific Electric who converted it to electric traction.
Early electric service[edit]
By 1920 the line was known as the Santa Monica Air Line[10] providing electric-powered freight and passenger service between Los Angeles and Santa Monica. Service was discontinued in 1953 but the tracks continued to be used sporadically for diesel-powered freight deliveries to warehouses along the route until March 11, 1988.[11]
From 1988, Southern Pacific maintained ownership of the right-of-way, but no longer used or maintained the rails. Portions of the right-of-way were leased for use as storage facilities, parking lots, impound lots, and various businesses, but no permanent structures were built.
Community rescue[edit]
The abandonment of the line spurred concerns within the community to prevent the line from being sold off piecemeal, destroying one of the few remaining intact rail corridors within Los Angeles County. Advocacy groups including Friends 4 Expo Transit[12] supported the successful passage of Proposition C in 1990, which allowed the purchase of the entire right-of-way from Southern Pacific by Metro (LACTC).
Metro successfully lobbied the federal government to use the remainder of Red Line funding for a different project to the Mid-City district of Los Angeles in 1998. That same year Los Angeles County voters approved Proposition A, another sales tax increase for transit, allowing Metro access to additional funds for transit projects. Metro then released a Major Investment Study in 2000 which compared bus rapid transit and light rail transit options along what was now known as the "Mid-City/Exposition Corridor".[13]
Proposed developments[edit]
Regional Connector Transit Corridor[edit]
The Regional Connector Transit Corridor (also known as the Regional Connector, Downtown Connector or Downtown Light-Rail Connector) is an under construction light rail subway corridor through Downtown Los Angeles that is designed to connect the current Blue and Expo Lines to the current Gold Line, and to allow a seamless one-seat ride between the Blue and Expo Lines' current terminus at 7th Street/Metro Center and Union Station.
Once the Regional Connector Transit Corridor is constructed, the Eastside leg of the Gold Line will be connected to the Expo Line, which by that time will include the completed Phase 2, and will be running between downtown Los Angeles and Santa Monica. At the same time, the northern leg of the Gold Line through the San Gabriel Valley will be joined with the current Blue Line connecting downtown Los Angeles and Long Beach, creating what will be the longest light rail transit line in the United States. Names and/or colors for these new lines have not yet been officially announced, but it seems likely that the current Expo Line-eastern leg of the Gold Line will become the new Gold Line, and the Blue Line-northern leg of the Gold Line will become the new Blue Line. The groundbreaking for the construction of the Regional Connector Transit Corridor took place on September 30, 2014, and it is expected to be in public service by 2020.

Maintenance facilities[edit]
The light rail vehicles used on the Expo Line are maintained at the division 11 yard in Long Beach, California, the same maintenance facility that is used by the Blue Line. However, the new division 14 yard is slated to open in the vicinity of the 26th Street/Bergamot station in Santa Monica, with the completion of Phase 2 construction.
Rolling stock[edit]
Compatible with the rest of Metro's light-rail network, the Expo Line shares standard Metro light rail vehicles (Nippon Sharyo P865 and P2020, and Siemens P2000) with the Blue Line. Metro estimates that it has 47 light rail cars to provide service on the Expo Line under the peak-hour assumption of 3-car trains running at 6-minute headways.
Upon completion of Phase 2, it is expected that new P3010 light rail vehicles (LRVs) from Kinki Sharyo, that were ordered by the L.A. Metro board of directors in 2012, will begin operation, replacing the current LRVs in operation on the Expo Line. (See: Los Angeles Metro Rail rolling stock article.)

Our economy may still be pretty much in the gutter, but one industry is still going strong. If you glanced at what site you were reading this on and guessed "online gaming," congrats! You win a gold star. Here you go: ★.
Anyway, according to this industry report featured on GameSpot, online gaming overall (including MMOs, in turn including WoW) was up 22% year-over-year in May 2009. 87.1 million people were estimated to game online in the USA, an impressive 28% of our estimated total population.
Of course, a huge chunk of this is browser-based games (think Bejeweled or Yahoo! Games). WoW is apparently the 21st most popular "online locale," clocking in at 2.2 million US visitors. Still, I'd say 21st isn't bad for a game with a subscription fee; 2.2 million players at $15 a month is $33 million a month (assuming the each have exactly one account). The next-closest MMO, according to this report, is RuneScape, at 202,000 players. Really? Aren't there other MMOs with more than that?
Anyway, online gaming, like online everything else, is on the rise. Single-player, localized games are starting to feel positively quaint, although I still think Chrono Trigger is the best computer RPG of all time.

Climate Change: Patio Heaters
House of Lords
Lord Dykes (Spokesperson in the Lords (Europe), Foreign & Commonwealth Affairs, Spokesperson in the Lords (Cap Reform), Environment, Food & Rural Affairs; Liberal Democrat)
asked Her Majesty's Government:
What is their response to the outline proposals of the European Commission to prohibit the use of patio heaters by restaurants and bars as part of their emissions reduction programme.
Lord Rooker (Minister of State (Sustainable Farming, Food and Animal Welfare), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Labour)
The Government are committed to raising product standards and reducing energy wastage in consumer products. We have lobbied the EU to press for improvements in efficiency, particularly through directive 2005/32/EC on the eco-design of energy-using products.
We want the Commission to concentrate its initial efforts on the directive to drive improvements in the major energy using products such as lights, household appliances, consumer electronics, air conditioning and electric motors. While patio heaters are wasteful, they account for a relatively small amount of energy use in comparison.

Chapel property considered for cell tower
Date: May 5, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Longboat Key resident and Alpha-Omega Communications LLC Managing Director Jim Eatrides is interested in placing a cell-phone tower on the property of Longboat Island Chapel.
While speaking in favor of revising the town's telecommunications ordinance at the Longboat Key Town Commission's Monday, May 4 regular meeting, Eatrides said he flew a balloon on the church's steeple Friday, April 10 to simulate the visual impact that a tower would have on Longboat Key.
Eatrides, a communications engineer whose company develops tower sites, and J. Kevin Barile, president of Ridan Industries LLC, a company that owns and operates cell-phone towers, met with the church's congregation Sunday, April 19 to discuss the possibility of placing a tower on the chapel's property.
The town's current cell-phone ordinance has hindered cell-phone companies from placing towers on certain Longboat Key properties. According to the current ordinance, a cell-phone tower can only be placed on government or church property. The chapel and the Longboat Key Public Works facility are the only north-Key properties with that type of zoning, but both have been ruled to be insufficient parcels in the past.
Eatrides expressed disappointment at the meeting after the commission decided to workshop the ordinance again at a later date and explained that cell phones are especially important to tourists, seasonal residents and for emergency personnel.
Until the ordinance is revised, any potential plans for the property as a cell-tower site will be delayed. In the meantime, Eatrides said the chapel congregation is open to discussions in the future.
"Longboat Key is a pretty place, but it's not a good place to live and work in the modern information age," Eatrides said.

March Roll Call.....
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 03-02-2014 - 8:57am
There is an old weather saying that goes, "When March comes in like a lion it goes out like a lamb". Well it should be good an confused here in MI then! Yesterday was a bit of both. It was cold and wavered betewen sunny and calm to overcast and blustery! Guess we'll have to wait for March 31 to know how it will 'go out'!
What's it like where you are? Are you as fed up with the winter weather as I am?! Do you have anything fun planned for the month?
I have a couple of meetings (VD - that's Victorian Day, for those of you unfamiliar with my 'VD' term!!) and VFW Ladies Auxiliary. I will be going out to my friend Syl's house a few times as I need to make a new corset and she has the pattern I want to use. Besides we really enjoy doing our sewing together - helps keep us both focused! No big parties or dinners or anything like that planned and no birthdays or anniversarys to celebrate. Sure do wish I could say I was headed South for a few weeks tho!!! LOL
How about you? Any plans to share?
|Thu, 03-06-2014 - 7:37am
Aaaaiiii Karrrramba. Sorry, I couldn't resist. I now fit into this category! Where did the time go? YES, I am tired of the snow. I am in Chicago, and it's crazy how much snow we are getting! You love to sew?! I love to quilt, but I rarely find time for it. I still have a "one block wonder" to quilt...the piecing is all done. Plans?! Work is really busy this month, so I haven't made any significant plans, other than linedancing, a west coast swing class, and a hustle class. I LOVE dance, and it's about time that I learn it, as I am not getting any younger! I have been neglecting my dogtraining pursuits because work leaves me too exhausted at night. :( In another month, perhaps I will take that back up.

I would like to welcome all the new people who have come in and the newly 50 somethings......funny but you probably don't feel much different than you did when you were forty nine....but fifty sounds really adult don't it?
We have had a different winter. Very little snow but some very cold temps....and it is different from day to day.....the last couple days have been rain,snow, sleet, wind and rain. And this afternoon the sun came out......We are ready for some days when you at least want to think about a garden even if you don't put one in anymore..I still plant some herbs at the camper ,plants have always been my thing. Love them, but mostly now just take pictures of them.
We are finally getting our bathroom done. Del has taken out the shower and the vanity, tomorrow the plumber comes and then the toilet comes out. And I will tell you that is the scary part......because if you don't know now you will probably find out that older ladies HAVE to have the bathroom ready cause there is no option to hold it anymore....lol........But he says that they will put the floor down and put the toilet in right away........and I hope he knows what he is talking about......
I am not a fan of the flooring options we have anymore. If you don't like tile(I am not a fan) and can't afford hardwood.....the only other option is this stuff they use now that has the feel of leather which is ok I suppose but you can't get it in patent leather.....so you are left with this stuff that looks like river rock or something it is dark, ruff and ugly......my opinion sorry if I like nice shine and pretty...........
I think we are going to paint the walls white over the paneling and if we hate it when we are done we will pull the paneling out and put up sheetrock.......
But first the bathroom then we will run away to the camper for the summer..........and think about the house later.....lol

Written by:
by Joan Cole Duffell, Executive Director, Committee for Children
As the trial and sentencing of Jerry Sandusky come to an end, I can honestly say that I am relieved. The details of this case have been spread across front pages, sports pages, magazines, radio, and television and through all forms of social media. The image of his face is now seared across my imagination. I feel ready to move on.
But in good conscience, I can't do that.
The courage these young men evidenced in coming forward with the details of Sandusky's crimes demands that we match their courage with our own. What does that mean? We can pass laws that require every youth-serving organization to establish clear policies that will better protect children and youth. We can make sure every organization working with children and teens—as well as parents themselves—know how and where to report a suspicion or allegation of abuse.
To that end, Committee for Children, in partnership with the Raynier Institute & Foundation, is bringing the nation's top experts in child sexual abuse prevention to the University of Washington on October 10. Why? We want to open a discussion about ways to transform the very latest research into the most effective practices that will help keep the children of our community safe. Drs. David Finkelhor, Charol Shakeshaft, and Keith Kaufman will share their expertise with over 200 professionals from across Washington State, representing a unique gathering of top leaders in this critically important field. Our goal is to let research inform and catalyze improvements to sexual abuse prevention policies and procedures in our state, including those that guide the actions of schools and other youth-serving systems.
The Sandusky sentencing marks the end of the case, but it can also be a beginning for all of us to transform the pain this one man has caused into actions that will make our communities safer for all of our children.

So I took my 2003 Civic Hybrid into the shop this morning because the indicators on the dashboard were lighting up like a Christmas tree. It started with the DRL indicator, then came the SRS one, then Maintenance Required then yesterday, the engine light. Ugh, this will no doubt mean money out of my pocket today.
But it got me thinking. What if I just ignored the dashboard. I mean, yes the indicators are on but the car sounds fine to me. In the old days (yeah, when I drove a 1978 Delta 88 to university) there wasn't a collage of sensors on the dashboard. You just drove the car until, well, it broke down on the side of the road – and trust me I got more than my share of that back in "the old days". But today's cars, especially hybrid versions, are fine-tuned machines with computer controls and lots of whirlygigs that make sure I brake to a stop faster, I don't get as injured in a crash, I get way better fuel mileage and so on. Yes, I probably still could go it old school and drive like a cowboy of days gone by and ignore the dashboard, but at what cost
What's the cost of breaking down on the way to the airport and missing that flight to give a presentation on the other side of the country? What's the cost of an inefficient engine burning more expensive fuel? What's the cost of me flying through the windshield because my airbag system is turned off because of a malfunction or my ABS breaks are disengaged? You get the picture.
So what's the cost of a brand driving it "old school" in today's high speed, quick to react, snowballing-crises-friendly, twisty-turny social media world that we all live in today? This isn't the 1978 Delta 88 world of our youth.
What dashboard indicators should brands be paying more attention to today?

What Are ACS and RACES?
Founded in 1952, the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) is a public service provided by an auxiliary (volunteer) communications unit within government agencies in times of extraordinary need. That government unit is often referred to as its Auxiliary Communications Service (ACS) or RACES unit. During periods of ACS or RACES activation, certified unpaid personnel are called upon to perform many tasks for the government agencies they serve. Although the exact nature of each activation will be different, the common thread is communications.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is responsible for the regulation of RACES operations. RACES is administrated by a local, county, or state civil defense agency responsible for disaster services. This civil defense agency is typically an emergency management agency or bureau, sometimes within another agency such as sheriff, police, or fire. RACES is within an agency's auxiliary communications function, sometimes known as ACS (Auxiliary Communications Service), DCS (Disaster Communications Service), ECS (Emergency Communications Service), etc.
The Amateur Radio Regulations, Part 97, Subpart E, §97.407, were created by the FCC to describe RACES operations in detail. Although no longer issued or renewable, RACES station licenses were issued in the past by the FCC to government agencies for RACES operations. The agencies may continue to conduct RACES operations without these licenses, using primary or club call signs.
ACS/RACES provides a pool of emergency communications personnel that can be called upon in time of need. ACS/RACES units across the country prepare themselves for the inevitable day when they will be called upon. When a local, county, or state government agency activates its ACS or RACES unit, that unit will use its communications resources to meet whatever need that agency has.
Traditional ACS/RACES operations involve emergency message handling on Amateur Radio Service frequencies. These operations typically involve messages between critical locations such as hospitals, emergency services, emergency shelters, and any other locations where communication is needed. These communications are handled in any mode available, with 2 meters FM being the most prevalent. During time of war, when the President exercises his War Emergency Powers, RACES might become the only communications allowed via amateur radio. ACS/RACES personnel also might become involved in non-amateur public-safety or other government communications, Emergency Operations Center (EOC) staffing, and emergency equipment repair.
Stations in a RACES net may communicate only with stations registered with a civil defense (emergency management) organization--in other words, only with RACES members or with members of an organization having a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the civil defense (emergency management) agency for RACES communications.. Stations in an ACS net may communicate with any amateur radio station permitted by the ACS net control.
Whatever need arises, trained ACS/RACES personnel are ready and prepared to help. ACS/RACES units develop and maintain their communications ability by training throughout the year with special exercises and public-service events. When that fateful day occurs, ACS/RACES will be there to meet the challenge.
If you want to become an ACS or RACES member and be able to participate in ACS/RACES and other government emergency communications activities, contact your county or city ACS/RACES Radio Officer or Coordinator.

FDA Issues Proposed Regulations for MUMS Designation
September 27, 2005
The Minor Use and Minor Species (MUMS) Animal Health Act of 2004 amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to authorize the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to establish new regulatory procedures intended to make more medications legally available to veterinarians and animal owners for the treatment of minor animal species as well as uncommon diseases in major animal species. FDA is issuing proposed regulations to implement the "Designation" provisions of the MUMS Act.
Minor use drugs are drugs for use in major species (cattle, horses, swine, chickens, turkeys, dogs, and cats) that are needed for diseases that occur in only a small number of animals either because they occur infrequently or in limited geographic areas. Minor species are all animals other than the major species, for example, zoo animals, ornamental fish, parrots, ferrets, and guinea pigs. Some animals of agricultural importance are also minor species. These include animals such as sheep, goats, catfish, and honey bees.
The "Designation" section of the MUMS Act has been incorporated into the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) as Section 573. This Section of the Act is similar to the "Orphan Drug Act" for humans, which provides incentives to pharmaceutical firms that develop drugs for rare diseases or conditions. The proposed rule provides the functional requirements for drug sponsors requesting MUMS designation for proposed new animal drugs. The rule also describes "exclusive marketing rights" which is one of the primary incentives for MUMS designation. Companies who gain approval for designated new animal drugs will be granted seven years of exclusive marketing rights.
The proposed rule was published in the September 27, 2005, Federal Register. Written comments on the proposed rule may be submitted to Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Room 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. Comments may be faxed to 301-827-6870. Electronic comments may be submitted to the Federal eRulemaking Portal or the FDA web site. All comments on the draft rules should be submitted by December 12, 2005 and should be identified with the full title of the guidance, the Agency name (FDA), and Docket Number 2005N-0329.
Additional information is included in the September 27, Federal Register.Questions may be directed to Dr. Andrew Beaulieu, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV-50), 7519 Standish Place, Rockville, MD 20855, 240-276-9090, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dáil Éireann - Volume 550 - 20 March, 2002
Written Answers. - School Transport.
Mr. U. Burke Mr. U. Burke
864. Mr. U. Burke asked the Minister for Education and Science the steps he will take to address the problem of school transport to Seamount College, Kinvara for the Gort area for the families who want their daughters to travel to this all girls second level school; the reason for the delay of five years in making a decision on the matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9258/02]
Dr. Woods Dr. Woods
Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods): The question of the provision of a school transport service for girls from the Gort catchment area to Seamount secondary school, Kinvara, has been examined in my Department on a number of occasions. The key issue in this case is that the Deputy's proposal would be a clear infringement of the catchment boundary unless both schools agree to a single catchment area. This was explained by my predecessor for almost three years and by myself for the last two years.
As the Deputy is aware, in 1998 a small number of girls from the Kinvara catchment area, who would not ordinarily qualify for transport to another catchment area, were allowed board the bus at the same point as their brothers who had a full transport entitlement to the Gort school, provided no extra State cost was involved. This was done in the unusual circumstances where members of the same household were appropriate to separate catchment areas on the basis of their gender.
A similar circumstance did not exist in respect of girls from the Gort area who wished to travel to the Kinvara school. In their case there was no question of members of the same household being appropriate to different catchment areas. In addition, there was no existing service to accommodate such pupils. The establishment of a new service would have been an extra cost to the [1480] State. It would also have been a clear infringement of the catchment boundary system, in the absence of the agreement of both schools to a single catchment area. In these circumstances, the most that could be offered to these pupils was catchment boundary facilities from the nearest pick up point in the Kinvara area, provided there was spare accommodation on the bus.
The management authorities of the Gort school have again been asked to consider the question of having a single catchment area to include post-primary schools in Kinvara and Gort. The result of this would be to allow pupils enrol in either school and once they were three miles from the school of attendance, they would be eligible for school transport. This would resolve the transport problem for pupils who wish to attend either centre under the school transport scheme. The matter will be examined again in the light of the response from the Gort school.

Aly Raisman shined when teammates Gabby Douglas and Jordyn Wieber could not
American gymnast Aly Raisman stole the show from her more well-known teammates.
After her performance on floor and the beam, winning two medals when Gabby Douglas flopped in both of her events, Raisman made sure that people knew who she was.
Raisman, the 18-year-old U.S. captain, won gold on the floor with a score of 15.6, and after much debate with a little hint of protest, she won a bronze medal on the beams.
Just five days earlier, where Raisman failed to get a single medal in the all-around event and it seemed like some may have forgotten her, with the popularity of Douglas and Jordyn Wieber on the rise.
As great as Douglas has been in these Olympics, she has been off these last couple of days, which gave Raisman an opportunity to capture the moment and outshine her teammates.
This is exactly what she did, as she knocked out the competition on the floor, and than she willed herself to win a medal on the beams.
On the beam, Raisman was originally placed into fourth place, but after a protest that argued her level of difficulty was greater, the judges moved her into third place for a tie-breaker.
Later, the judges awarded her third place, with the decision coming down to execution. This gave Raisman two gold medals and a bronze medal, giving her the most medals of any American gymnast.
She is also the first gymnast to get gold on the floor exercise for the U.S. women, and ensuring that Raisman left her mark on the Olympics like her teammates did.

This strange-looking machine is the one-off 1934 Ford Model 40 Special Speedster built for Edsel Ford. After Edsel passed away in 1943, the car disappeared. A US Navy sailor had reportedly bought it for $603 in 1958. It didn't reappear until 1999. In 2008, a collector bought it for $1.76 million.

Sabadosa: Alsip woman shares story to promote ovarian cancer awareness
Karen Curtin with Fannie May Bouquet | Supplied photo
Updated: August 29, 2013 3:53PM
September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Ovarian cancer is one of most difficult types of cancer to diagnose, resulting in most women being undiagnosed until its late stages.
Alsip's Karen Curtin is an ovarian cancer survivor. She recently completed her final round of 16 months of chemotherapy. She was diagnosed in March 2012, when the cancer already had advanced to Stage 3C — meaning it had traveled to three places in her body.
In July, Curtin traveled to Washington, D.C., to attend the 16th annual conference of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, having won a scholarship contest by telling her story of fighting her way through ovarian cancer. According to those judging the entries, Curtin's story "touched their hearts."
They invited her to come to the conference to meet more than 200 other women who successfully beat this disease and are encouraging her to be an advocate for the early detection of ovarian cancer.
The early signs of ovarian cancer follow a pattern identified by the acronym BEAT: Bloating that is persistent, Eating less and feeling fuller, Abdominal pain or Trouble with your bladder or bowels, according to the alliance's website www.ovariancancer.org.
In Curtin's case, she had persistent stomach discomfort that went undiagnosed until an ER physician (Dr. Penny Hutchinson at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park) ordered a CAT scan on a hunch.
Curtin refers to Hutchinson as her "angel on my shoulder" because the doctor's actions likely saved her life — the cancer likely would have advanced quickly if it had been missed that day.
Curtin was admitted to Rush University Medical Center, where she had a hysterectomy. Within five days of the surgery, she began six rounds of an aggressive type of chemotherapy known as carboplatin taxotere. For the past 16 months, Curtin has undergone Avastin chemotherapy maintenance.
She is happy to report that her cancer markers have gone from 2200 to 12.3 (0 to 35 being in the normal range). She has nothing but thanks and praise for her oncologist, Dr. Prabodh Shah, at Little Company of Mary Hospital.
While her scans look good and her blood tests are within the normal range, she will remain vigilant and go for frequent checkups.
Curtin now knows, and wants to share, that there is not one definitive test for ovarian cancer. If symptoms similar to those listed above begin, doctors should order a CAT scan, an ultrasound or a special blood test called CA-125.
At the conference, Curtin said she and the other survivors got a strong "booster shot of hope." While some of the women reported recurrences of the disease, all were optimistic, in part because they learned the medical field is coming out with new treatments for ovarian cancer.
While funding for and awareness of ovarian cancer is nowhere near what is in place for breast cancer, large strides have been made, she said.
While in Washington, Curtin and the others visited the offices of Illinois' U.S. senators Mark Kirk and Dick Durbin, asking for the government's help in pushing for funding for ovarian cancer research.
During the conference, Curtin spoke at a session called "Clinical Trials — from Patient to Implementation." During her five-minute speech, she shared her experience with chemotherapy and its side effects.
The theme for this year's ovarian cancer conference was "teal is personal." All participants wore the color teal throughout the conference and were encouraged to consider how overcoming ovarian cancer had affected, if not changed, their lives.
Curtin stressed that maintaining a positive outlook was key to her recovery.
"I never left the house without my earrings or lipstick — even after losing my hair," she said. "I reminded myself each day to get up, get dressed, push and fight."
Evidently, her plan worked.
When she returned home from her trip to Washington and visited her favorite Oak Lawn candy store, Fannie May, at 107th Street and Cicero Avenue, the employees presented a bouquet of candies to their "happiest customer."
Store employees Stacy, Rachel and Bobbi said they never suspected that Curtin was battling ovarian cancer during the past year. She always came in with a smile and kind word, they said, and it wasn't until just before she left for D.C. that they learned of her illness.
Curtin hopes to begin a speaking circuit at local hospitals, relaying her story to spur ovarian cancer awareness and early detection. She said her message will stress surrounding yourself with positive, prayerful and faith-filled people.
She recalled how the late Rev. Patrick Henry, pastor of St. Catherine of Alexandria Parish in Oak Lawn, was ready to pray with her, and over her, each time she went in for another test. As he would bless her, he would remind her to, "Be not afraid."
As Curtin reflects, "I have cancer, but cancer doesn't have me."

Crafting Your Business Strategy by Knowing Your End Game
One of the biggest arguments I hear from clients and readers is:
"What do I need a plan for anyway? ______(insert famous name here) did it and had no clue what they were doing. And look how successful they are..."
Usually, my answer to this is: "Well, is _____'s version of success and fame yours as well?"
Then things get quiet.
And then, my friends, we get to the heart of the planning issue. I know you hate the idea of planning...it's scary, it's intimidating, and it reeks of the business elements you like least - namely, numbers and analytics. I'd also venture to bet that in the back of your mind, you're maybe a little afraid that planning might somehow kill your creativity. It will limit your ability to flow with your craft, your inspiration, and your intuition.
Know what else might kill your creativity? Freaking out over how to cover your monthly expenses. Wondering when your next sale will be. Having your latest product fail. (Are we on the same page yet?)
Let's avoid this at all costs, shall we? The most important thing to learn about your strategy is that it should always be crafted to serve you. It isn't there to limit you or put parameters on the way you run your business. Really, it's there to provide you with a clear path to success. Your success.
There are only two things you absolutely need to know to craft a spectacular business strategy. Yep, that's it. Only two.
First, Know Your End Game. That is to say: know what you want from your business. Your success is just that: Yours. You may want to have a biz that supports you so you can quit your day job. You may want to use your biz as a stepping stone to something bigger. You may want a part-time biz that allows you to make a little extra money & have a creative outlet. Whatever you want, state it. Then, quantify it. If you know you need to make $3,000 a month to support yourself and quit your job, a great goal might be:
- My business will make $3000 per month by this time next year, and I will quit my job on April 16, 2013.
Now, a few of you may already be freaking out by the strength of such a statement, and the accountability associated with it. You may be having a strong flight-or-fight reaction or hear those little voices of doubt, limitation, and resistance creeping into your mind.
Let's shut those voices up by breaking down our second strategy element, Start With The Smallest, Easiest Goal.
Try to get to the end game too fast & it's a recipe for disappointment. If the pressure doesn't get to you, the (perceived) lack of positive results might. If you're barely making $500 a month, the $3000 goal might seem very, very far away. What if you just tried to increase your sales by 50% (to $750) in one month? That's just about $8 extra dollars per day. If you do it again the second month, you've cracked $1000. Now $3000 doesn't seem quite as inconceivable, right? The point here is, whatever your goal, start small. Give yourself an opportunity to win. That feeling of accomplishment will carry you to the next goal.
You can totally do this!

Police in Brooklyn are investigating after a man was found shot inside a stairwell at the Coney Island Houses Thursday night and comes just two days after a 17-year-old was fatally gunned down in the lobby of another building in the complex.
Investigators say they found the body of Shawn White, 25, around 9:30 p.m. in the fourth floor stairwell of a building located at 2925 West 27th Street.
He had been shot three times in the head, torso, and leg.
Community members say it's time to put end to gun violence and are calling on whoever is responsible to come forward.
"If you're watching this guy, then you know that we know. So, it's best that you reach out and let us bring you in safely. So that there will be no more violence. The families don't want anymore violence," said Reverend Vernon Williams.
"Our grandmothers, our aunts, out uncles, the elderly, the children. They are going to start feeling like hostages in their own apartments and they're not going to want to come out into the community," said Keith Suber, a community activist.
On Wednesday, Yaquin English, 17, was found shot to death in the lobby of another Coney Island building.
A relative tells NY1 he was simply walking his dog when the gunfire erupted.
"Who feels safe around here? Who feels safe? Nobody. Anything can happen at any time," said one Brooklyn resident.
"You just got to look over your shoulders that's it. I've been working here for a long time and I've never had any problems," said another Brooklyn resident.
Police have not linked the two shootings together and no arrests have been made.
Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com

Etiwan, Etwan, Etowah, Etowan or Hetiwan, was built at Charleston, S.C., in 1834. She operated in Charleston Harbor throughout the Civil War as a transport and cargo ship between the forts and city. She was damaged by striking a torpedo in the harbor in the spring of 1863 and was run ashore to prevent her sinking. She resumed her transport duties in the fall of 1863. Etiwan was said to be the steamer moored at the wharf at Fort Johnson on 29 August 1863 when Confederate Submarine Torpedo Boat H. L. Hunley came alongside and attached mooring lines to her. Etiwan unexpectedly moved away from the wharf, drawing the submarine over on her side, and the H. L. Hunley filled and went down, drowning five seamen of CSS Chicora who formed a part of her volunteer crew. At the close of the Civil War Etiwan was found wrecked in Charleston Harbor. She was fitted for service to the Army Quartermaster Department engaged in clearing the harbor after the Civil War and was documented in April 1867 as the merchant steamer St. Helena.
