SUPREME COURT AND NINTH CIRCUIT PRECEDENT FAVOR ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY 4 '''Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(f) provides a device for litigants to avoid summary 5 judgment when they have not had sufficient time to develop affirmative evidence.'" Burlington N. 6 Santa Fe R. Co. v. Assiniboine & Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Reservation, 323 F.3d 767, 773 (9th 7 Cir. 2003) (quoting United States v. Kitsap Physicians Serv., 314 F.3d 995, 1000 (9th Cir. 2002)). 8 Apple asks this Court to ignore the intended purpose of Rule 56(f) and grant its alternative motion 9 for summary judgment without affording Plaintiffs the opportunity to complete discovery bearing 10 directly on Apple's motion. 1 11 While Rule 56(f) is permissive in nature, "the Supreme Court has restated the rule as 12 requiring, rather than merely permitting, discovery 'where the nonmoving party has not had the 13 opportunity to discover information that is essential to its opposition.'" Metaboltfe Int'l. Inc. v. 14 Wornick, 264 F.3d 832,846 (9th Cir. 2001) (emphasis added) (quoting Anderson v. Liberty Lobby. 15 Inc., 477 U.S. 242 n.5 (1986)). Denial ofa Rule 56(f) motion "is especially inappropriate where the 16 material sought is also the subject of outstanding discovery requests." VISA Int'l Servs. Ass'n v. 17 Bankcard Holders of Am., 784 F.2d 1472,1475 (9th Cir. 1986). 18 Accordingly, where, as here, the party seeking Rule 56(f) discovery has: (l) specifically 19 identified the necessary discovery; (2) demonstrated that such discovery is essential to oppose a 20 21 Plaintiffs have not sought to apply "a more lenient standard" under Rule 56(f) as Apple claims. See Apple's Reply in Support of Motion to Dismiss or, Alternatively, for Summary 22 Judgment ("Apple's Reply") at 13. Despite Apple's attempts to distinguish the standards set forth in Barovich Assocs., Inc. v. Aura Sys., Inc., No. 96-55779, 1998 WL 10747 (9th Cir. Jan. 8, 1998), 23 Barovich is consistent with the law followed by the Ninth Circuit today. See id., at *2 (requiring 24 plaintiffto identify the information sought with "specificity" and demonstrate "that the discovery sought exists"). While a party seeking discovery pursuant to Rule 56(f) must "make clear what 25 information is sought and how it would preclude summary judgment," Garrett v. San Francisco, 818 F.2d 1515, 1518 (9th Cir. 1987), the information need only be "'potentially favorable.'" Clark v. 26 Cap.1475 ("The courts which have denied F.3d 1162, 1178 (9th Cir.for lack seesufficient showing to at Credit & Collection Servs., Inc., 460 a Rule 56(f) application 2006); of also VISA, 784 F.2d 27 supporttfurther discovery appearwashaveobject so where it was clear that the evidence sought was to the done of pure speculation."). almos certainly nonexistent or 28 520779_1 PLAINTIFFS' REPLY IN SUPPORT OF THEIR MOTION FOR ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY PURSUANT TO RULE 56(f) - C-05-00037-JW(HRL) -1- 1 summary judgment motion; and (3) the discovery needed is responsive to outstanding discovery 2 requests, the request should be granted. 3 II. 4 5 PLAINTIFFS HAVE DILIGENTLY PURSUED THE DISCOVERY THAT IS ESSENTIAL TO THEIR OPPOSITION Most of the discovery Plaintiffs seek in order to adequately respond to Apple's motion for summary judgment is responsive to requests served prior to Apple's filing. While this action has 6 been pending for over four years, it was not until October of2009 that Plaintiffs received Apple's 7 first substantive production of merits-related discovery. Declaration of Paula M. Roach Pursuant to 8 Rule 56(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in Support of Plaintiffs' Opposition to Apple's 9 Motion to Dismiss or, Alternatively, For Summary Judgment ("Roach Decl."), ~l 1. These 10 documents relate to Plaintiffs' Rule 30(b)(6) deposition notice and related document requests 11 concerning Apple's use of software and firmware updates. Id., ~~10, 11. Through these requests, 12 Plaintiffs sought discovery related to Apple's use of iTunes software and iPod firmware updates. 13 Apple's policies and procedures concerning such updates, the genesis of each update, and the 14 unintended and intended effects of each update. See id., Ex. B. 15 Contrary to Apple's counsel's representations, the parties initially agreed that Apple would 16 produce a subset of documents responsive to the Rule 30(b)(6) requests. Roach Decl., ~10; Cf 17 Declaration of David C. Kiernan in Support of Apple's Reply in Support of Motion to Dismiss or, 18 Alternatively, for Summary Judgment ("Kiernan Decl."), ~2. This subset was intended to allow 19 Plaintiffs to evaluate what other relevant, responsive information was likely available. Plaintiffs did 20 not agree that this was all Apple had to produce. See id., ~2. Instead, Plaintiffs expressly reserved 21 their rights on two separate occasions to seek full discovery of the documents identified in their 22 30(b )(6) notice once Apple's production ofthe subset was complete. See Declaration of Thomas R. 23 Merrick in Support of Plaintiffs' Request for Additional Discovery Pursuant to Rule 56(f), filed 24 concurrently ("Merrick Decl."), Ex. A at 1; id., Ex. B; Roach Decl., ~10. 25 In total, Apple has produced just over 1,000 documents as part of the initial subset of 26 responsive documents. Kiernan Decl., ~2. On March 22, 2010 - the day Plaintiffs' opposition to 27 Apple's motion for summary judgment was due - Apple produced what it represented was the last 28 520779_1 PLAINTIFFS' REPLY IN SUPPORT OF THEIR MOTION FOR ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY PURSUANT TO RULE 56(f) - C-05-00037-JW(HRL) -2- 1 production related to the subset of requests. Id., ~17. However, just a few days ago, on April 22, 2 Apple produced an additional 147 pages of documents responsive to the Rule 30(b)(6) requests. 3 Merrick Decl., ~6. It is unclear when Apple's Rule 30(b)(6) related production will be completed. 4 As discussed more fully below, Plaintiffs have reviewed Apple's production to date and requested 5 additional documents responsive to the requests that directly relate to the factual issues in dispute. 6 Merrick Decl., ~7. 7 Additionally, most ofthe other relevant information was requested by Plaintiffs on December 8 28, 2009. See Roach Decl., ~13. Plaintiffs sought discovery related to, inter alia, Apple's 9 negotiations and contracts with the record labels, Apple's business relationships with Hewlett 10 Packard and Motorola, and Apple's response to RealNetworks. Id., ~~18-24. However, after the 11 Court decertified the plaintiff class in December of 2009, Apple took the position that merits 12 discovery was no longer open and refused, for two months, to produce discovery responsive to these 13 requests. See Roach Decl., ~14. Even after the Court reiterated that discovery was open (see Dkt. 14 No. 324 at 2), Apple made no effort to produce information responsive to these requests until 15 Plaintiffs specified which categories of information were immediately necessary to respond to 16 Apple's motion for summary judgment. Merrick Decl., ~4. Thus, it was by no fault of Plaintiffs that 17 discovery on these issues has been delayed. 18 In fact it was not until April 5, 2010, that Apple began producing documents responsive to 19 Plaintiffs' second set of requests. Id., ~8. Apple produced nine additional amendments to the 20 original contracts with the major labels and on April 8, 2010, produced two contracts with Motorola. 21 Id. Although Apple has agreed to produce the discovery responsive to Plaintiffs' remaining requests 22 as laid out in their supporting Rule 56(f) declaration (see Roach Decl., ~15), it has yet to do so. 23 Plaintiffs have met and conferred with Apple concerning the remaining requests and Apple has 24 promised production would be complete by the end of May. Merrick Decl., ~5. 25 Accordingly, Plaintiffs have been diligent in seeking discovery and should be permitted to 26 obtain the requested discovery in order to respond fully to Apple's motion. 27 28 520779_1 PLAINTIFFS' REPLY IN SUPPORT OF THEIR MOTION FOR ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY PURSUANT TO RULE 56(f) - C-05-00037-JW(HRL) -3- 1 III. PLAINTIFFS HAVE SPECIFIED THE INFORMATION ESSENTIAL TO THEIR OPPOSITION 2 In their Rule 56(f) request and supporting declaration, Plaintiffs specifically identified 3 precisely what information is necessary to oppose Apple's motion and, as discussed above, even 4 sought most of this information prior to Apple's filing. However, Apple now asks that this Court 5 rule on its summary judgment motion without providing Plaintiffs with the necessary discovery 6 requested. See Apple's Reply at 12-13. 7 In its motion for summary judgment, Apple argues that the software and firmware "updates" 8 that disabled the interoperability developed by RealNetworks and potentially other competitors were 9 not anti-competitive. This argument rests on five factual premises: (l) Apple issued the relevant 10 updates in response to illegal "hacks"; (2) the record labels required Apple to issue these updates; (3) 11 the updates just "happened" to disable Harmony; (4) Apple's updates were product improvements; 12 and (5) Apple would have had to disclose secretive and potentially harmful information to 13 RealNetworks to keep Harmony going. See Apple's Motion to Dismiss or, Alternatively, for 14 Summary Judgment ("Apple's Motion") at 1 0-16. Plaintiffs have demonstrated that they are entitled 15 to discovery on all of these factual premises in order to adequately oppose Apple's motion. See 16 Roach Decl., ~4; Plaintiffs' Memorandum in Opposition to Apple's Motion to Dismiss or, 17 Alternatively, for Summary Judgment ("Opposition") at 23. 18 A. 19 Apple's Claim that It Issued the Relevant Updates in Response to Illegal "Hacks" 20 Apple claims that it issued the relevant updates in response to "hacks," or illegal reverse 21 engineering, to FairPlay that violated of the Digital Management Copyright Act ("DMCA"). 22 Apple's Motion at 1 O. However, whether the programs violated the DMCA is itself a factual issue 23 for which Plaintiffs require discovery to adequately respond. For example, as Plaintiffs explained in 24 their Opposition, such reverse engineering does not violate the DMCA where it enables 25 interoperability. Opposition at 17. If the "hacks" were intended for this purpose, then Apple's 26 contention that they were illegal would not stand. Thus, Plaintiffs are entitled to discovery to 27 determine "whether the alleged software programs intended to create interoperability violated the 28 DMCA." Roach Decl., ~~4, 26. 520779_1 PLAINTIFFS' REPLY IN SUPPORT OF THEIR MOTION FOR ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY PURSUANT TO RULE 56(f) - C-05-00037-JW(HRL) -4- 1 In order to determine how the programs worked and, thus, whether they indeed violated the 2 DMCA or were, for example, intended to create interoperability, Plaintiffs have requested that Apple 3 produce source code and other technical information concerning the manner in which Apple updated 4 FairPlay to stop the "hacks." Merrick Decl., ~7. Plaintiffs requested these documents in their 5 original Rule 30(b)(6) requests served in April 2009. Apple has stated at this time that it is not 6 willing to produce this information, but the parties continue to meet and confer on the issue. �d. 7 Plaintiffs may be required to move to compeL. 8 B. Apple's Claim that the Record Labels Required Apple to Issue the Relevant Updates 9 Apple also claims that the record labels required Apple to issue the relevant updates. In 10 December of 2009, Plaintiffs sought complete production concerning communications with all 11 record labels to determine which, if any, aspects of the updates were required by the labels and 12 which were created on Apple's own accord. See Roach Decl., ~~18, 19. If 13 this information reveals that Apple issued the relevant updates (or relevant portions of the updates) on its own and not 14 pursuant to any contractual requirements with the labels, then Apple's factual contention will be 15 rebutted. See Opposition at 11. Apple has produced additional contracts with the major record 16 labels, but no additional communications. Merrick Decl., ~8. Plaintiffs are entitled to complete 17 discovery on this issue before the Court makes a dispositive ruling. 18 Moreover, Apple has yet to produce contracts and negotiations with content providers other 19 than the major labels (i.e., Sony, BMG, EMI, Universal and Warner), which documents were also 20 requested by Plaintiffs in December of2009. Roach Decl., ~19. Apple claims that these contracts 21 and communications are irrelevant because Apple had a contractual obligation to the other labels to 22 update FairPlay. Apple Reply at 5. However, Apple issued updates to FairPlay for all music sold on 23 iTS and not just the music sold by Sony, BMG, EMI, Universal and Warner. If the contracts and 24 communications with the other content providers reveal that Apple was not required to have any 25 DRM on the music files sold by the content providers in the first place, and thus was not required to 26 update the DRM, then this would rebut Apple's contention that it was required to update the DRM 27 on all music. See Roach Decl., ~19. Accordingly, Plaintiffs are entitled to this information. 28 520779_1 PLAINTIFFS' REPLY IN SUPPORT OF THEIR MOTION FOR ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY PURSUANT TO RULE 56(f) - C-05-00037-JW(HRL) -5- 1 2 3 Apple's Motion at 11. To 4 rebut this contention, Plaintiffs need discovery concerning the different technical aspects of the 5 6 7 8 9 10 Thus, discovery on all of these facets is necessary. 11 Plaintiffs sought this discovery in April, 2009 in conjunction with their Rule 30(b)(6) 12 document requests. See Roach Decl., ~1 O. 13 14 Accordingly, Plaintiffs 15 have requested, pursuant to their Rule 30(b)( 6) document requests, information concerning Apple's 16 understanding of how Harmony works technically; specifications, design documents and diagrams 17 regarding those changes in FairPlay that broke Harmony; documents that describe the relationship 18 between iTunes software updates and iPod firmware updates; documents that indicate how certain of 19 Apple's observations concerning Harmony affected the FairPlay redesign; source code related to 20 iTunes software updates 4.6 and 4.7; and source code related to iTunes software updates (other than 21 4.6 and 4.7) and iPod firmware updates that addressed "hacks." See Merrick Decl., ~7, id., Ex. C; 22 see also Roach Decl., ~~4, 26. 23 The parties met and conferred on these requests on April 22, 2010. Merrick Decl., ~7. 24 Apple's counsel stated that it may be willing to produce some technical information related to the 25 FairPlay redesign in iTunes 4.7. Id. Plaintiffs requested a greater scope of documents and have 26 proposed this production to Apple. Id. If Apple does not agree to production, Plaintiffs will need to 27 move to compel as this information is necessary to adequately oppose Apple's Motion. 28 520779_1 PLAINTIFFS' REPLY IN SUPPORT OF THEIR MOTION FOR ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY PURSUANT TO RULE 56(f) - C-05-00037-JW(HRL) -6- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Nonetheless, Plaintiffs are entitled to this discovery before the Court can decide whether a 14 factual dispute exists. 15 D. Apple's Claim that the Updates Were Product Improvements 16 Apple also asserts that the updates were product improvements. Apple's Motion at 13-14; 17 Apple's Reply at 7. In support, Apple contends that the updates helped ensure that Apple remained 18 in compliance with its contractual obligations to the labels. Id.; Apple's Motion at 13. First, this 19 contention presumes that the updates were only issued in response to the record labels' requests to 20 stop "hacks." As Plaintiffs' evidence in their Opposition indicates, the record labels did not require 21 Apple to issue updates to address Harmony. See Opposition at 11. Thus, if the updates targeted 22 Harmony, at least in part, then Apple's contention that the updates were product improvements will 23 be rebutted. Accordingly, Plaintiffs are entitled to discovery on this issue sought in conjunction with 24 Plaintiffs' Rule 30(b)(6) document requests. See Roach Decl., ~26. 25 Additionally, as discussed above and in Plaintiffs' Rule 56(f) motion, Plaintiffs sought 26 production of Apple's communications and contracts with the record labels in December of2009. 27 See Roach Decl., ~~18, 19. If this discovery reveals that the record labels did not communicate to 28 Apple that other relevant software updates were required, then Apple's contention will be rebutted. 520779_1 PLAINTIFFS' REPLY IN SUPPORT OF THEIR MOTION FOR ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY PURSUANT TO RULE 56(f) - C-05-00037-JW(HRL) -7- 1 Moreover, Apple has not provided any evidence to support its contention that Harmony made 2 FairPlay less secure. See Opposition at 12. If discovery concerning the technical aspects of 3 Harmony and FairPlay contradict Apple's contentions then Apple's Motion must be denied. �d. 4 Plaintiffs are entitled to this discovery - requested in conjunction with their Rule 30(b)( 6) requests- 5 before the Court can determine if a factual dispute exists. See Merrick Decl., ~7. 6 7 E. Apple's Claim that It Would Have Had to Disclose Secret and Potentially Harmful Information to RealNetworks Finally, Apple claims that Harmony could only continue to work if Apple disclosed highly 8 confidential information to RealNetworks that was potentially harmful to Apple. Apple's Motion at 9 14; Apple's Reply at 8. As Plaintiffs previously stated, discovery concerning Apple's business 10 relationships with Hewlett Packard and Motorola are necessary because such discovery will reveal 11 information concerning the type of information Apple shared with competitors and the level of 12 cooperation required. See Opposition at 13; Roach Decl., ~~20, 26. 13 Indeed, Apple's belated production of documents responsive to Plaintiffs' December 2009 14 requests, has revealed additional information that supports Plaintiffs' position. For example, Apple's 15 contracts with Motorola, produced by Apple just a few weeks ago, on April 8, 2010, suggest two 16 things: (l) Apple was engaged in cooperative agreements with competitors that encouraged use of 17 Apple's products; and (2) the level of cooperation Apple claims would be necessary to keep 18 RealNetworks going is grossly overstated. See Merrick Decl., ~9. 19 20 21 22 Accordingly, Plaintiffs are entitled to full 23 discovery on this issue. 24 IV. CONCLUSION 25 For the reasons stated above and in Plaintiffs' request for Rule 56(f) discovery and 26 supporting declaration, if the Court is inclined to hear Apple's Motion for summary judgment at this 27 28 520779 1 PLAINTIFFS' REPLY IN SUPPORT OF THEIR MOTION FOR ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY PURSUANT TO RULE 56(f) - C-05-00037-JW(HRL) -8- 1 time, then the Court should permit Plaintiffs to obtain additional discovery pursuant to Rule 56(f) in 2 order to adequately oppose Apple's Motion. 3 DATED: April 26, 2010 4 5 Respectfully submitted, 6 7 8 ROBBINS GELLER RUDMAN DOWDLLP & JOHN 1.

Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists may collaborate with the pharmaceutical or medical device industries to help develop medical breakthroughs or provide medical expertise or education. Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit. In order for the discoveries of Cleveland Clinic physicians' and scientists' laboratories and investigations to benefit the public, these discoveries must be commercialized in partnership with industry. As experts in their fields, Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists are often sought after by industry to consult, provide expertise and education.
To assure professional and commercial integrity in such matters, Cleveland Clinic maintains a program that reviews these collaborations and, when appropriate, puts measures in place to minimize bias that may result from ties to industry. The Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses the names of companies when (i) its physicians/scientists receive $5,000 or more per year (or, in rare cases, equity or stock options) for speaking and consulting, (ii) its physicians/scientists serve as a fiduciary, (iii) its physicians/scientists
receive or have the right to receive royalties or (iv) its physicians/scientists hold any equity interest for the physician's/scientist's role as inventor, discoverer, developer, founder or consultant.* In publicly disclosing this information, the Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.
As of 8/11/2014, Dr. Mehra has reported no financial relationship with industry that is applicable to this listing. In general, patients should feel free to contact their doctor about any of the relationships and how the relationships are overseen by the Cleveland Clinic. To learn more about the Cleveland Clinic's policies on collaborations with industry and innovation management, go to our Integrity in Innovation page.
Public Health Service-Reportable Financial Conflicts of Interest. Cleveland Clinic scientists and physicians engage in basic, translational and clinical research activities, working to solve health problems, enhance patient care and improve quality of life for patients. Interactions with industry are essential to bringing the researchers' discoveries to the public, but can present the potential for conflicts of interest related to their research activities. Click here to view a listing of instances where Cleveland Clinic has identified a Public Health Service (PHS)-Reportable Financial Conflict of Interest and has put measures in place to ensure that, to the extent possible, the design, conduct and reporting of the research is free from bias.

24rd Annual Georgia BikeFest 2015
Columbus, GA
October 9 - 11, 2015
More details for 2015 coming soon, but here's what we did in 2014.
Come and enjoy the warm days and cool evenings of Georgia in October. Ride the scenic terrain of Muscogee, Chattahoochee, and Harris counties and surrounding areas. This will be the fourth year Georgia BikeFest has been held in Columbus, GA. The town is looking forward to our visit and planning entertainment activities. Uptown Columbus, only a couple of blocks from BRAG's overnight location, is planning activities for Friday and Saturday nights. Georgia BikeFest is an opportunity to rekindle BRAG friendships and enjoy the fellowship of other cyclists.
This year's ride headquarters will be located again in downtown Columbus at Woodruff Park, located next to the Chattahoochee River and the Riverwalk Path. Uptown restaurants are a block away. Routes will have various mileage options each day with a fully-supported Century Ride on Saturday, in Georgia! If you haven't had your fill of exercise, you can go kayaking or rafting on the Chattahoochee River. This is your chance to try out the longest urban whitewater rafting trip in the world! Located in the heart of downtown Columbus is the Chattahoochee Whitewater Park. This course offers over 10 class III rapids during the low water release (8am to 4pm) and after 4pm these rapids become class IV, when the water level increases to over 11,000 cubic feet per second.

Medicine 3.0's 25 Essential BlackBerry Apps For Health And Fitness
Thanks to Jimmy from Medicine 3.0 who gave us a heads up on a great article, "25 Essential BlackBerry Apps For Health And Fitness". I know with health and fitness being very important, you can never find enough health apps to download, but where can you start? This article gives you a place to begin.
The list is mostly taken from the BlackBerry App World. I am going to list them in order, but also going to list some apps that are in the BlackBerry Sync Store that are similar.

Living Learning Communities
Living Learning Communities are organized around a shared academic major, a shared interest, or shared classification. No matter which Living Learning Community you select, you'll be surrounded by other students who share your interests!
- Strengthen the ethos of scholarship within residential environments
- Strengthen residents' abilities and skills relating to faculty with an outcome of improved academic performance
- Strengthen residents' engagement in campus life with an outcome of improved meaningful social connections
- Strengthen residents' ability to manage their time, money, relationships, and health
How it Works
- Living Learning Communities are organized around a shared academic major, a shared interest, or shared classification.
- The communities fill on a first-come, first-served basis. Incoming students can select a Living Learning Community on the online residence hall and dining contract.
Take your pick and get the additional advantages of living in a Living Learning Community.
Academic Living Learning Communities:
Business Learning Community (Rider Hall):
The Princeton Review has recognized the College of Business Administration as a Best Business School for six consecutive years. Students living in this learning community can expect to find a focus on skill development in the areas of management, business administration, and entrepreneurship in an environment that focuses on exploring various majors, careers, and opportunities in the business world.
Elementary / Early Childhood Education Learning Community (Hagemann Hall):
UNI's College of Education (COE) is known for having some of the most innovative teacher education programs in the country. Students in this learning community can expect to see a focus on educational topics related to elementary and early childhood education.
Music Learning Community (Noehren Hall):
The music learning community's philosophy is to promote an understanding of music as a universal language. The community will support students in their development of an appreciation of music in a culturally diverse world. Students living in this community will participate in activities to prepare them for productive lives as teachers, performers, composers, scholars, and citizens.
Honors Learning Community (Campbell Hall):
The honors learning community strives to provide outstanding educational, social, and leadership opportunities outside of the classroom. Acceptance into the honors college is required.

The most commonly reported side effects of sitagliptin were stuffy or runny nose and sore throat, headache, diarrhea, and joint pain. The most common side effect of vildagliptin is hypoglycemia if a person has missed a meal or exercised strenuously. Fluid retention has occurred with vildagliptin in some people, but nausea has not been reported. Neither sitagliptin nor vildagliptin has been associated with weight gain. People who have taken vildagliptin while participating in research studies have experienced an average decrease in HbA1c of 0.6%. Large studies will help in evaluating the long-term safety information of DPP-IV inhibition.
Changing with the times
In 2004, despite the availability of numerous options for treating diabetes, studies showed that only 33% of people with Type 2 diabetes were meeting established targets for blood glucose control. Optimal blood glucose control is important to prevent or minimize the chronic complications that can be caused by diabetes, including nerve, kidney, eye, and heart disease.
If you are unable to keep your blood glucose levels in target range with your current diabetes plan, talk to your diabetes care team about other available treatment options, including those newly on the market. Work together with your team to achieve the best possible blood glucose control for you.

Here is some information about the ballot initiative (defeated) compiled by Arlette Ballew. Here is some additional information on the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority Land Use Commission Study. SANDAG has published an Airport Economic Analysis Final Report describing options for airport relocation in San Diego County including discussion of relocating to MCAS Miramar. Nine sites around the region were still in the running to become San Diego County's new international airport, following an earlier screening of 32 locations, according to the recommendations contained in a 2002 48-page report prepared by the consulting firm of Landrum & Brown. However, the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority has recommended only Miramar as a proposed location.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

CLEAT Press Conference
Thank you Ron. I am honored to stand with the men and women of law enforcement, and to receive this recognition.
However, I think the real heroes in America worthy of recognition are you: the peace officers who protect our neighborhoods and communities. Along with other emergency personnel, you march headlong into danger as others try to escape it.
Our safety as Texans depends on the courage and commitment of officers who wear the law enforcement badge.
As Texans and Americans, we owe a debt of gratitude to you for your service. And we are especially grateful for the service of those CLEAT members who are responding to President Bush's call to duty as members of the Guard and Reserves.
The Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas is an effective voice for Texas peace officers. It has been my honor to work with CLEAT on numerous issues that effect the livelihood of law enforcement personnel.
This last session was a tremendous session for Texas peace officers. I was proud to sign numerous bills aimed at recognizing the service of law enforcement personnel.
We now provide state disability benefits for officers permanently disabled in the line of duty with a new law named after Waco police officer Bill Biles who will depend on a cane for the rest of his life after being shot in the line of duty.
We increased the death benefit to $250,000 for the families of officers killed in the line of duty. The new Aubrey Hawkins Act establishes a database of individuals who threaten a peace officer. We also strengthened privacy laws for peace officers and their families to reduce the probability that they would be targeted at home through an act of vengeance.
And I proudly stood with law enforcement personnel by vetoing Senate Bill 730, which would have hampered the ability of peace officers to make arrests for Class C misdemeanors.
Texans, like all Americans, are very concerned about security in the aftermath of the September 11th attack on America. I want all of our citizens to know that this state is doing everything it can to keep our citizens safe, and taking every measure we can to improve security.
Earlier this week I formed a 21-member Task Force on Homeland Security that will assess potential threats to this state, analyze our readiness to deter attacks and respond to one if ever a tragedy occurs on Texas soil, and that will make recommendations on additional measures that can be taken.
Members of the law enforcement community will play a critical role in that process.
Texas has always been a law and order state, and I will always be a law and order governor.
In 1999 we passed a number of measures to crack down on juvenile gang activity, including increasing penalties for gang leaders who require prospective members to commit a criminal act to gain initiation into their gang.
We have increased penalties for convicted sex offenders who fail to register with the state, and we have given law enforcement the authority to confiscate a driver's license while making a DWI arrest. We also sent a signal in 1999 that drunk driving will not be tolerated by lowering the blood-alcohol limit to .08.
Lastly, we recently made it clear that criminals should not profit from their crimes, causing additional harm to the victims of a violent crime. We now have new laws to prohibit the disgusting practice known as murderabilia.
The safety of Texans is in the hands of the officers standing by my side. I am grateful for their tireless service…service that comes at a very high cost. Each time they put on that uniform, and kiss their spouse and children goodbye, may be the last time they ever see them.
Texas is a better place because of peace officers who protect us, and preserve our freedom. Thank you. We will be happy to take any questions you may have.

Norma Dean "Deanie" Hill Williams
HIGH POINT — Norma Dean "Deanie" Hill Williams (Deanie) passed away March 5, 2013, at the Hospice Home at High Point after 22 years battling cancer.
Norma was born in High Point January 13, 1937, a daughter of the late Norman A. and Jewel Dean Hill. She lived in High Point her entire life except when she went to school. She was a 1955 graduate of High Point Central High School. Her dream her entire childhood was to become a nurse. After graduating from High Point Central, she attended N.C. Baptist Hospital School of Nursing where she graduated in 1958 and was vice president of her senior class. Norma later attended N.C. A&T State University to obtain her BSN1.
Her life was devoted to her profession and her late husband, Donnie, who preceded her in death April 4, 2010, after 49 wonderful years of marriage. She worked at High Point Regional Hospital for thirty-seven and a half years. Thirty of those as a nurse manager and the last six as a case manager, seeing only stroke patients.
She loved her work and worked more than the required eight hours for her job. Norma loved the people with whom she worked and was a mentor to many young NA's and RN's.
Norma had a quick wit and always enjoyed people. All who knew her were never in doubt as to how she felt about any subject.
Florence Nightingale wrote what she summed up as being a nurse and what Norma followed: "If I could give you information of my life – it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in a strange and unaccustomed path to do in his service what he had done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all and I nothing. I have worked hard, very hard – that is all. And have never refused God anything." - Florence Nightingale.
Norma worked at N.C. Baptist Hospital, Winston-Salem, NC, Baptist Memorial Hospital, Kansas City, Missouri, and High Point Regional Hospital, where she retired. Dr. Otis Tillman wrote a poem for her retirement that she cherished.
Surviving Norma is a step-son Donald Lee Williams Jr; step-grandson Brandon Lee Williams; brother, Larry Hill of Charlotte; two nephews, Michael Hill of Florida and Scott Hill of Charlotte.
Funeral services and entombment will be held 1:00 p.m. Friday March 8, 2013, in the Mausoleum Chapel at Floral Garden Memorial Park with the Reverend Jeanette Robertson officiating. The family will greet friends Thursday evening from 6:00 until 8:00 p.m. at Cumby Family Funeral Service, High Point.
The family would like to thank the staff of the Hospice Home at High Point for the wonderful care Norma received. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to Hospice of the Piedmont, 1801 Westchester Drive, High Point, NC 27262. Online condolences may be made at www.cumbyfuneral.com Arrangements by Cumby Family Funeral Service, High Point.
