INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) announced today that it received a complete response letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for olanzapine long-acting injection (LAI) for acute and maintenance treatment of schizophrenia in adults. Lilly is continuing to work with the agency on the new drug application (NDA).
The FDA does not require any additional clinical trials for the continued review of the NDA. Per the agency's request, Lilly is preparing a proposed Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS), which will be submitted in the near future.
"We cannot speculate on the timing of a potential decision, but remain confident that, if approved, the long-acting depot formulation of olanzapine will offer an important option for treating this devastating and chronic illness," said Todd Durell, M.D., associate medical director for U.S. neuroscience for Lilly.
This treatment has been approved for use in the European Union and New Zealand under the trade name Zypadhera(TM). Independent regulatory reviews are ongoing in other countries.
Notes for editors:
About Long-acting Injectable Antipsychotic Medications
The World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry (WFSBP) guidelines state that poor or partial treatment compliance is a major problem in the long-term treatment of schizophrenia. Depot formulations should be considered as a treatment option if it is determined that a depot formulation is necessary to help with compliance.(1)
By administering long-acting medications, healthcare professionals know
when patients have received their medication and can immediately detect non-
adherence when a patient fails to return for a scheduled injection.(2)

The City of Clinton's proposed 2014-15 budget comes in at roughly $1 million less than the current year's amended budget, factoring in slight utility rate increases, a 1 percent cost of living adjustment for employees and large capital projects, all while keeping the tax rate the same.
The 2014-15 recommended budget totals $13,686,150 for all city operations, capital improvements and debt service requirements. This is $1,141,241, or 7.7 percent, less than the 2013-14 amended budget. The fiscal plan is balanced with no increase in the city's 40 cent per $100 valuation tax rate, a 1.5 percent increase in water and sewer fees and $150,000 from General Fund reserves.
The recommended General Fund totals $8,728,150, which is 2.68 percent less than the 2013-14 amended budget of $8,968,391 as of May 19, 2014. The 2014-15 recommended Water and Sewer Fund totals $4,789,000, a 15.5 percent decrease from the 2013-14 amended budget of $5,668,200 as of May 19, 2014.
"The budget is fiscally sound, and although it does not fund all the requests made by departments or external agencies, it does address the top priority needs of the city and will allow us to maintain a high level of service for Clinton citizens," city manager Shawn Purvis stated.
The Water and Sewer Fund includes the recommendation for a 1.5 percent hike in water and sewer rates, proposing an increase in water base rates from $12.19 to $12.37 and sewer base rates from $12.70 to $12.89. Water and sewer consumption rates would rise from $1.83 to $1.86 and from $1.78 to $1.80 per 100 cubic feet, respectively.
Purvis noted that the recommended new rates represent nominal increases, and the fees are still among the lowest in towns across the state.
"It is important to note that the rate increases for water and sewer are nominal and should have a minimal affect on the average user. For example, an average family of four or five that uses 5,000 gallons (668 cubic feet) a month will see an increase of $0.62 on their monthly water and sewer bill."
The recommended budget includes $150,000 from fund balance for capital expenditures, specifically $50,000 for a new fire engine and the remaining $100,000 for other vehicles and equipment.
The City of Clinton's estimated unassigned fund balance as of June 30, 2014 is just shy of $4 million, or 45 percent of expenditures. The city's formal policy establishes a goal between 35-40 percent, with funds in excess of 40 percent to be assigned for capital purchases.
There will be no health insurance premium increases and a 1 percent COLA, totaling $19,000, is factored in the fiscal plan. Potential merit increases could also total $28,500.
As part of the recommended budget, the city is proposing to add an engineer position in the Public Works and Utilities Department. The position, involving primary responsibilities with water and sewer utility activities, "will prove beneficial as the city begins multiple, large water and sewer projects during fiscal year 2014-15."
In his budget message, Purvis said a city engineer will relieve the city of having to employ engineering services for smaller projects that can be performed in-house. "The position is also part of the succession plan for the Public Works and Utilities Department, which anticipates the retirement of several key positions in the next three to four years, including the director," the city manager noted.
For 2014-15, the City Council has also requested the Sampson Board of Commissioners raise the fire tax rate by a half-cent, from 9.5 to 10 cents per $100 valuation, which would increase revenues by $21,000. Those revenues would be used to offset costs associated with service to the rural district and beyond.
About one-third of the Clinton Fire Department's calls for service are outside the city limits. To that end, the city maintains two stations, of which the Beaman Street station would not be necessary if the department did not serve the rural district. The city is also requesting $40,000 from the rural district reserves to use for a down payment for a new pumper to serve that rural district.
In addition to vehicle requests to update the citywide fleet, other budget highlights include:
• $171,500 for street resurfacing, $30,000 less than the previous two years.
• $50,000 to construct sidewalks along Barden Street that will connect homes to the Sampson Center and connect with the existing sidewalk system that stretches toward downtown and Sunset Avenue School.
• $1.7 million to replace water lines throughout various city neighborhoods as part of a Community Development Block Grant project.
• $20,000 for a materials shelter for Utility Line Maintenance and $32,000 for a metal storage and work building at the wastewater treatment plant.
• $78,000 for an aluminum enclosure of the influent headworks and splitter box as part of odor mitigation work at the wastewater plant, which has already cost an initial $25,000.
• $2.4 million (USDA loan) for the water plant and well site expansion, half the entire $5 million project cost. The entire project will take about 18 months to complete and will be over the course of two budget cycles. The Southwood elevated tank will be constructed at the same time as the water production expansion project. The city previously received a zero percent interest $1.77 million loan from the N.C. Division of Water Infrastructure.
Recovery is 'evident'
The N.C. 24 widening project has already meant positive growth locally, as a subdivision and an apartment complex along N.C. 24 have been approved for construction.
"Evidence of economic recovery and potential growth is gradually becoming evident in Clinton," Purvis stated in his budget message, his first as city manager.
Nearly all vacant industrial buildings are now occupied, two local metalworking industries are expanding and a third has expressed its intent to expand. Additionally, Clinton is on the verge of seeing a $160 million investment by biofuels company Chemtex. The city has received many inquiries from similar industrial endeavors and N.C. 24 will only mean more growth and opportunities, the fruits of which are expected to be seen starting in 2017.
"We need to prepare ourselves to capture and take advantage of as much of that growth as possible," Purvis stated. "Our tax base has experienced little to no growth since 2008, and it was on a downward trend until revaluation in 2011."
The city manager said it was crucial to evaluate every service and program and its effect on the city's financial sustainability in order to position Clinton in the best way to bring in new jobs, support business and industry and provide housing opportunities.
Realizing growth, and capturing revenue from it, is key.
"We will continue to explore opportunities to improve efficiency," Purvis stated, "but we also need growth to generate more revenue if we want to continue to offer our citizens the highest level of services."
A public hearing on the proposed budget will be held at the Tuesday, June 3, City Council meeting, to begin at 7 p.m. in the City Hall Auditorium. The budget is available for public inspection in the office of the city clerk during regular business hours and those wishing to speak at the hearing can contact the city clerk at 910-592-1961 in advance of Tuesday's meeting.

Soaring egg, chicken prices put a spoke in Christmas festivities, shortage in supply blamed
HYDERABAD: The usual season discounts and price cuts that mark Christmas sales are missing in one particular sector of the city market, one that adds quite a few wings to the festivity.
Chicken and egg prices are soaring in the twin cities, and both being crucial ingredients of household Christmas menu, this has stung the celebrations badly. While chicken prices have shot up from Rs.35-40 to Rs.80-90 in the last two months, egg prices have gone up from Rs.1.15 to Rs.1.75 apiece and in some places, up to Rs.2 as well.
The turnaround in the poultry sector has led to this contrasting scenario, compared to the situation five months ago when the bird flu scare had sent chicken prices in retail markets across the city plummeting to as low as Rs.25-35 per kg.
However, this is not being attributed to the season, and neither is it a result of the bird flu blues being forgotten. "Chicken feed costs have shot up from Rs.550-600 per quintal to Rs.800 per quintal and above. The industry is under a crisis as many have sold off their farms, unable to recover from the bird flu effect," Andhra Pradesh Poultry Federation president K. Narayan Reddy says.
The `breaking cost' of chicken at the farms is Rs.35, which has translated into double that rate in the retail market, more so because of the shortage in supply, Mr. Reddy observes.
Slight dip in sales
Traders are not sure as to when the high prices will come down, according to Sambasiva Rao, who runs three retail outlets in Lothkunta, Alwal and Bowenpally. However, he says sales, in spite of a slight dip, are not doing bad.
"That, perhaps, is because both chicken and eggs are almost indispensable for Christmas menu ," he says.

Rachel Maddow, in strong opening segment last night on candidates getting away with racist statements this year—no "macaca" downfalls—kept mentioning a Nixon architect of the Southern Strategy, and quoted him twice. She even put his blunt words from 1970, urging the GOP to ignore blacks and focus strictly on white voters, up on the screen, but oddly failed to name him.
This led some, in online comments, to presume it was former Nixon aide Pat Buchanan, who certainly seems capable of this in the past, perhaps even the present. Was Rachel protecting an MSNBC colleague?
That's wrong. The former GOP strategist was Kevin Phillips. So why did Maddow choose not to name him?
I can only imagine that she was kindly avoiding tarring someone who has gone to harshly criticize the GOP, appear often on Bill Moyers' PBS show, and write several valuable books, the latest American Theocracy. Still, made for an awkward moment.
Phillips did not invent the term "southern strategy" for the successful drive by the GOP to wrest control of the region from the Democrats, but became most associated with it, after he was interviewed for an article with that phrase in its headline on May 17, 1970. Phillips in that piece said, and Maddow quoted it, "From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that... but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats."
In fact, Phillips, in his influential book from that era, The Emerging Republican Majority, urged the politics of polarization in the north as well.
Bob Herbert in a New York Times column later observed, "The truth is that there was very little that was subconscious about the GOP's relentless appeal to racist whites. Tired of losing elections, it saw an opportunity to renew itself by opening its arms wide to white voters who could never forgive the Democratic Party for its support of civil rights and voting rights for blacks."
A new edition of Greg Mitchell's book, "The Campaign of the Century: Upton Sinclair's Race for Governor of California and the Birth of Media Politics, winner of the Goldsmith Book Prize, has just been published.

Exactly. Like elections. The majority shouldn't be the deciding factor. What SHOULD matter is the concensus of people who care enough to participate and how strongly they feel.
If a minority cares enough about something to be active about it and the majority is apathetic, then the minority opinion is what counts on that point.
That's how the world works and IMHO that's the ideal way for it to work.

Duncan's recovery still unknown after ankle sprain
SAN ANTONIO Tim Duncan is on crutches and the San Antonio Spurs don't know when he'll be back.
Duncan passed an MRI test Tuesday with no signs of structural damage in his sprained left ankle. The Spurs won't know how long the 34-year-old might be out until later this week, but Duncan will miss at least the next three games as the NBA's winningest team tries to clinch the West's No. 1 seed.
"It structurally looks good," general manager R.C. Buford said Tuesday. "We will have a better idea of what the timeline is in the next 48 hours."
Duncan sprained the ankle Monday night in a win over Golden State. Four minutes had barely passed in the game when Duncan, after making a short jumper, landed awkwardly on his left foot and collapsed beneath the basket.
The two-time MVP lay clutching the foot for more than a minute in the scariest moment for the Spurs all season. San Antonio has reclaimed its place atop the NBA behind the durability of Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili after injuries derailed the four-time champions the last few years.
Duncan will not travel with the Spurs on a three-game road trip that begins Wednesday in Denver. The Spurs (57-13) have a seven-game lead over the Los Angeles Lakers for the top seed in the West with 12 games remaining.
Only one of San Antonio's remaining dozen opponents - Sacramento - are out of the playoff chase.
Buford said Duncan's ankle is between a grade 1 and 2 sprain. He said team doctors are waiting for the swelling to subside to see how the ankle responds to early treatment.
"There's a lot of frustration," Buford said. "But I think he's pretty tough and you guys saw him on the court."
Buford and the rest of San Antonio's front office left their box at the AT&T Center and went to the locker room after Duncan limped off the court Monday night, steadying himself with the help of trainers.
Duncan is averaging career lows (13.3 points, 9 rebounds) and the Spurs no longer revolve their offense around the two-time MVP. But the Spurs are quick to say Duncan is still what makes them tick.
After stumbling into the playoffs as the No. 7 seed a year ago, San Antonio is on pace to surpass its franchise-record 63 wins set in 2005-06. Observers have chalked up the surprise resurgence on everything from pushing a faster tempo to a deeper bench.
But Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has said it just boils down to health. Ginobili missed the 2009 postseason with a bad right ankle. Last season, the Spurs upset Dallas in the first round, but withered against Phoenix in the semifinals as Duncan wore down and Parker recovered from a broken hand.
The Spurs likely had the past in mind when Duncan - who turns 35 in April - earned his first night off all season Saturday against Charlotte. Before that, Duncan had been the only Spurs player to start the first 68 games.

FIs Can Convert 22 Million Americans to Their Bill Pay Model
FIs Can Convert 22 Million Americans to Their Bill Pay Model
Javelin's Strategic Report Identifies Three Key Investments to Jolt Flat-Lining Bill-Payment Growth
San Francisco, CA, September 12, 2012 – The banking industry can jolt online banking and online bill pay back to life by converting 22 million Americans who already pay bills online at biller websites, according to a report released by Javelin Strategy & Research. Javelin's "how-to" report recommends three top-priority investments and five marketing messages that will best tempt consumers to break their habit of paying bills at biller websites, and assesses the return on investment for FIs.
FIs can Spur Adoption by Converting Consumers
Building on Javelin's 2012 Online Banking and Bill-Payment Forecast report last month, Javelin's current report details how FIs can reposition their bill pay offerings as part of a broader -- and smarter -- money management set of tools. Consumer preference for paying bills online at their FIs outweighs their preference for paying bills at biller sites, with consumers opting to pay 4 of 7 common bills online at FI sites. However, billers retain a strong lead for payment of other bill types. FIs can rejuvenate their offerings in three critical areas to meet consumers' needs and convert customers who are "one step away" from establishing the habit of paying bills at their primary FI.
"The future of banking is going to evolve rapidly from "view + do" to a mindset of providing "view + do + advice," said Mark Schwanhausser, Director of Multichannel Financial Services at Javelin. "It's time for banks and credit unions to raise their aspirations beyond being an efficient pipeline for paying bills to instead become a place where customers gain control, oversight and insight into their bills, spending, cash flow and overall finances."
Javelin's How to Convert 22 Million Americans to FI Bill Pay report is based on an online survey of more than 5,000 consumers. The report compares the attitudes and preferences of consumer who use of FI bill pay and biller-direct, profiles key consumer segments that FIs need to target, and recommends the steps FIs need to take to succeed. Companies mentioned include Bank of America, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo

The hot and humid breeze of summer is upon us all. For teachers and administrators it is a time to reflect and think about what changes we will make next year. Throughout the year you probably have read some blog posts and articles that may have resonated with you, and now summer presents an opportunity to reflect on ways to implement those ideas for next year.
I like the way Moss, Brookeheart, and Long explain the idea of shared learning targets:
"They convey to students the destination for the lesson—what to learn, how deeply to learn it, and exactly how to demonstrate their new learning. In our estimation (Moss & Brookhart, 2009) and that of others (Seidle, Rimmele, & Prenzel, 2005; Stiggins, Arter, Chappuis, & Chappuis, 2009), the intention for the lesson is one of the most important things students should learn. Without a precise description of where they are headed, too many students are 'flying blind.' (Moss, Brookhart, Long – 2011)"
How often are you setting clear learning targets for students, and are those visible for every lesson? Are your days designed to truly promote critical thinking and constructive learning, while working toward a clear and meaningful shared goal/target? How can you plan this summer so that you effectively create and display shared learning targets in your classroom? As an administrator one of the most telling gauges I have for classrooms in which I observe is asking students what they are doing and why they are doing it.
I encourage you to read the full article here: Knowing Your Learning Target, and also to check out the chart on constructing student learning targets.
Below are some resources I created for you to use and share:

Want to buy Pol Pot's toilet?
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating is associate editor at Foreign Policy and the editor of the Passport blog. He has worked as a researcher, editorial assistant, and deputy Web editor since joining the FP staff in 2007. In addition to being featured in Foreign Policy, his writing has been published by the Washington Post, Newsweek International, Radio Prague, the Center for Defense Information, and Romania's Adevarul newspaper. He has appeared as a commentator on CNN International, C-Span, ABC News, Al Jazeera, NPR, BBC radio, and others. A native of Brooklyn, New York, he studied comparative politics at Oberlin College.
As Tyler Cowen says, there really are markets in everything:
A former Khmer Rouge official photographer has put on sale for 1.5 million dollars what he claims to be Pol Pot's clothes, sandals and toilet, along with thousands of photographs and other artifacts he collected during the genocidal regime's 1975-79 rule. "I will sell Pol Pot's sandals, toilet, his uniform and cap, thousands of photographs and the two cameras I used during the Khmer Rouge period," said Nhem En, who was recruited to take photographs of detainees when they arrived at Tuol Sleng torture prison in Phnom Penh.
"I am asking for 1.5 million dollars, but the price is negotiable," he added.
Interestingly, he tried to sell just the shoes and toilet for $500,000 in April but didn't get any takers.
