News Section: Politics
Carpenter Routes Brunner in Manatee County School Board District 4 Race
BRADENTON – First-term incumbent Karen Carpenter easily turned down a challenge from former member Frank Brunner in Tuesday's two-candidate district 4 school board race, winning by 21 points in a countywide contest. . Carpenter was elected in 2010 and was a major force in exposing the district's deep financial problems that led to a complete overhaul of the school district's administration in 2013. Carpenter's vote total of 24,866 was the highest in all of Tuesday's races in Manatee County.
Brunner served on the MCSB from 1996 to 2006, when he left mid-term to run unsuccessfully against Carol Whitmore for the district 6 county commission seat that was being vacated by Pat Glass. He then took a position within the district. He is currently the director of Manatee County CrimeStoppers.
Throughout the campaign, Brunner tried unsuccessfully to tie Carpenter to the district's recent woes, recylcing the age-old political question as to whether the district was better off now than when she was first elected.
In reality, the district was a mess when Carpenter came on, and administrators under former Superintendent Tim McGonegal were able to shell game deep-rooted financial problems until the house of cards finally fell in late 2012 – in no small part because of Carpenter's efforts. Carpenter then went on to chair the board, providing leadership and stability through perhaps the most difficult and unstable year in the district's history.
The race was perhaps most notable for the whirlwind of criticism surrounding the fact that Brunner did not live in the district as required. Though he technically met the requirement by signing a 1-year lease on a 1-bedroom apartment in Bradenton, he and his wife are homesteaded north of the river in district 1.

Student Work Allotments
The Financial Aid Office awards students a work allotment at the start of each academic year, regardless of financial need. Students may print their Employment Eligibility Letter, as well as view their allotment and earnings-to-date, online at my.pomona.edu in the Financial Aid section of the Student Portal. Please refer to How to Access Your Student Employment Information on the Portal [pdf] for instructions.
When planning for your campus job, be sure to use our earnings calculator [xls] to estimate how much you will earn over the course of the semester or year.
Students who hold more than one job cannot receive an allotment increase, so please plan accordingly. Some exceptions do apply, but only those students who hold a pre-approved, "high need" position, such as Grader, Tutor, or Mentor.
Note: Your student work allotment is for the academic year only and does not apply to the summer break.
Allotment Increase Requests
The Office of Financial Aid will notify you and your supervisor(s) via email when you are within $300 of earning your annual allotment. Upon reaching your allotment, you will be terminated automatically within the College Payroll system. You and your supervisor(s) will receive an email notification of the termination. Prior to automatic termination, you may discuss with your campus employer whether additional funds are available to pay you wages in excess of your allotment. If funds are available in your employer's budget and your employer indicates that they need you to work additional hours, your employer will send an email to the Student Employment Coordinator to request an allotment increase.
If you are approved for an increase, you will be notified by email. If you exceed your allotment before an increase is approved and processed, and you are automatically terminated, you will need to be re-hired through Human Resources.
Please note that wages earned on campus during winter break are considered part of your total annual work study allotment. A work allotment increase for the winter break may be submitted by your supervisor prior to the break. Note: Your student work allotment is for the academic year only, and does not apply to the summer break.
** If you have any questions regarding the Student Employment program, please contact the Student Employment Coordinator at (909) 607-3867 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Edward Greene Malbone
Edward Greene Malbone's premature death at age twenty-nine cut short the brilliant career of a painter widely considered to be America's most accomplished miniaturist. He began life inauspiciously as an illegitimate son born to Patience Green and merchant John Malbone, whose fortune was depleted during the British occupation of Newport during the Revolutionary War. Malbone may have received limited, informal instruction from Samuel King (1748/9-1819), a Newport painter and instrument maker, but he was largely self-taught. At seventeen, Edward Greene, as he was then known, ran away to Providence to establish himself as a miniaturist. The young painter wrote to his father in October 1794 to announce that he wished to use the name "Malbone," which he promised "never to dishonor." A desire to appeal to an affluent, influential clientele probably motivated Malbone to add his father's prestigious surname to his own when he launched his career.
Malbone's talent, charm, and artistic skill contributed to his rapid entrepreneurial success, but the lot of an itinerant miniature was a difficult one, involving long periods of overwork and constant travel from city to city. Over the next several years, he painted in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Charleston, where he befriended Charles Fraser, a lawyer whose later work as a miniaturist he strongly influenced. In 1801, Malbone traveled to London, where he found affirmation of his stylistic sensibilities in the airy and elegant miniatures of Richard Cosway (1742-1821). Malbone returned to Charleston later that year and began his most prolific period, documented in his account book, which records only a portion of his prodigious output. The artist briefly returned to Newport in the fall of 1802 and spent the remainder of his brief life traveling between there and Boston, Providence, New York, Philadelphia, and Charleston.
Weakened by tuberculosis, Malbone found himself
unable to paint and journeyed to Jamaica for his health in December
1806. Five months later, he died at the home of his cousin in Savannah
on his way back to Newport. So great was his fame that nearly half a
century later, novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne invoked Malbone's name in The House of the Seven Gables to explain the uncommon power of a miniature to conjure the presence of an absent lover.

Yogyakarta. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is set to inaugurate Yogyakarta's Sultan Hamengkubowono X as governor for life following a landmark ruling recognizing monarch rule of the autonomous province.
The inauguration ceremony, scheduled for Oct. 9, will cost around Rp 1.6 billion ($168,000), according to Yogyakarta's Assistant of Administration and People's Welfare, Astungkoro, adding that the cost of the inauguration had been approved by the Regional Representatives Council in the province's revised budget.
Officials expect 1,500 guests to attend the inauguration, including Vice President Boediono, foreign ambassadors, other governors and regional leaders, as well as the business community.
Calling the inauguration "humble," Astungkoro said the majority of the budget is not spent on decor and entertaining guests, but for added security for the high-profile guests.
The main ceremony will be held at the Siti Hinggil hall of the Sultan's palace, traditionally used for official monarch ceremonies. But Astungkoro said the decision to use the main hall was "not political but more technical," adding that the local military command suggested it for security reasons.
The Sultan traditionally only uses the Siti Hinggil three times a year for traditional celebrations, aside from other major events like his own coronation. But it is unclear whether his inauguration as governor would be customarily accepted.
By law, a governor should be inaugurated by the president or vice president. "The presidential office has not given any confirmation, but let's just wait for it," the Sultan said.
Last month, the House of Representatives passed a law affirming the Sultan would automatically become the governor of the province.
The ongoing struggle among political parties to win the support of Sultan Hamengkubuwono X has also come to an end because a newly passed law on the special territory of Yogyakarta bars him from becoming a member of any party.
Gajah Mada University lecturer Pratikno said his university will supervise the implementation of the newly passed law.
"The framework to think comprehensively is important to [ensure] the implementation of one regulation is in line with another. Because in practice, laws on politics often contradict one another," he said. "We must formulate a comprehensive framework about the instrumentation to interpret the five pillars of the special autonomy law. We are ready to be involved in design policies so that each pillar results in regional regulations."
The national government had wanted the governor and deputy governor of the province to be elected, like in all other provinces, but locals pointed to the special status of the region awarded by founding President Sukarno in return for the region's services to the young Indonesian republic. They claim that the former president was adamant that the position should not be an elected one, adding that as part of the special status, the house of the Yogyakarta sultanate and the head of the Pakualam princedom should automatically become the governor and deputy governor, respectively.
At the peak of the tension, many Yogyakarta residents staged large rallies, demanding that the region break away from Indonesia. Realizing the strong resistance, the central government eventually softened its stance.
A breakthrough following almost 10 years of discussions on the draft came in last month's meeting between the president and the Sultan. A compromise was reached allowing the sultan to stay on as governor as long as he was not a part of any political party. Despite the regulation, the Sultan did not rule out possibility of running for president in 2014, saying that he would still be involved in politics. The Sultan is a Golkar member. However, other major parties claim to have received support from the monarch.
Analysts have praised the 66-year-old Sultan as an able governor, with the province of more than 3.5 million people increasing its economic prosperity and sociopolitical stability since he took office in 1998.
Under his rule, Yogyakarta remains one of the wealthiest and most religiously tolerant provinces, with Muslims, non-Muslims and other minority ethnic groups coexisting with little conflict. Muslim minority sects, such as Ahmadiyah, have felt protected inside the province.

Warner who?
I just caught this on the G&G blog. Which in itself is odd, because somehow I'd expect a bolt of lightning to come out and hit me over the head, along with a (James Masony) Jehovah voice bellowing
This is Big News. Also Turbine was the first games company I ever knew about (not counting the people who made King's Quest and Leisure Suit Larry) — okay, the first MMO company I ever knew about, because my first online game was Asheron's Call. I'm not even sure I'd heard about EverQuest at the time.
Have I ever mentioned I live under a rock?
The problem with news feeds, too, is that if you want to catch the one mighty nugget you have to sift through a metric freaking crapton of… lesser stuff. Value-judgement wise, I mean. It might be fascinating to some that Asian Game Studio X has decided to use mokeypokey sprites instead of sminkypinky ones, but it ain't to me. And the less time I have in real life — I do occasionally have to work, until someone chooses to fund my life of witty dilettante leisure — the quicker I hit that "Mark All As Read" button when I see 110010 articles in my Google reader box. All right, it's typically more like 80, but that's a lot of articles. So I read my blogging buddies more than I do the news, because for the most part I find them more interesting.
Hey, and they eventually carry the news anyway. Thanks Victor!
As for the acquisition itself… "Yay!" says Turbine talking head. "More money for us! Woohoo!"
They all say that. Mythic ++ EA, and all that.
Me, I dunno. I'm odd and ageing and hippyish and the larger a company gets, the less I trust it. Yeah, I do say "the Man" sometimes. I hope it's a good thing for Turbine and that they don't suddenly lose 75% of their staff next year when something fails to provide WB with the expected 0.0021% quarterly income growth.
Posted on April 21, 2010, in MMO and tagged big business, linkage, MMO, turbine. Bookmark the permalink. 11 Comments.
I already commented on BlueKae's blog, it could mean more money and us riding into Rohan way earlier.
But being owned by a bigger corporation also has drawbacks, oh well.
The latest rumor is the Harry Potter MMO. :)
I have my eye on this. I'm not sure if it is good or bad. I'm sure Legos LotR is in the future. I don't know what that has to do with the LotR lisence, but in my mind it does. Oooh, maybe we will see Lego guys in LotRO??
If it's any consolation being taken over did not turn Blizzard into a rubbish company.
I think this move is more inspired by a desire from Warner to acquire people who know how to sell things online than by some desire to mess with lotro and ddo.
Of course, if true, this makes the timing of the offerwall fiasco utterly hilarious. "You paid how much for these web marketing geniuses???"
The only way I could really see it as a positive thing is if Turbine were struggling on their own. So far as I know they were doing just fine.
The devs have effectively just gained several more tiers of management, and that isn't usually very helpful.
Gah! That's an exact quote of what I said when I saw this. I love Turbine and I just don't see how acquisition by Time Warner could be a good thing… We'll see.

Reasons to Love The Jefferson Hotel Richmond
September 6, 2006
By: Courtney W. May
I stayed at The Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Virginia on the night of July 15th in Guest Room 606 (a deluxe room). I admit I got an awesome rate last minute and because I have a travel agency IATA card (for full disclosure I must mention that), I got a nice rate, but it wasn't free and I made no promises about my reviews. Now I'll cut to the chase and just list for you all of the good (and maybe bad) things to consider on your trip to Richmond.
* The rooms (at least all of the ones I saw) are HUGE (ceilings are tall, windows are large, and the closest had tons of space).
* The city of Richmond is not the absolute greatest view to have -I am not saying it's not bad)- but most importantly - none of the rooms at The Jefferson have views that are into walls, parking garages, or anything like that.
* The hotel pool is indoors, which might be nice in the winter, but Richmond is incredibly hot and in the summer a nice outdoor pool would be really, really nice.
* The Sunday Brunch is everything, plus more, that you've heard about.
* Again, let me say, Richmond is really, really hot in the summer.
* The employees are some of the best I've ever come across (they couldn't have been more helpful).
* I was able to walk to all of the locations I wanted to visit while in Richmond, but if I didn't want to the hotel would have provided a town car free of charge.
* Although not associated with the hotel, the Shockoe Slip area of Richmond is a lot of fun and has great restaurants.
* The guest rooms have a strange layout and you can never expect two rooms in the same room category to be exactly equal - but that is because the hotel was built in 1895.
* It is really hard to get reservations for the Sunday morning brunch - so make sure you reserve early.
* Make sure to ask for a non-smoking room if you don't smoke - you're in tobacco country.
The end result is that I definitely want to go back. I traveled from the DC area (which prices for everything are much, much higher) and wouldn't mind spending two or three weekends in the fall, winter and spring in the Richmond area. Rates for this five star hotel are lower then you will find in more places - yet provide you with some of the best services I have experienced. You may not think you have a reason to visit Richmond, but The Jefferson is it.

It's Here: Wynn's New Hotel Casino Debuts in Macau, China
At midnight today, Steve Wynn opened his new hotel and gaming complex in the former-Portuguese colony of Macau, an island known as much for its casinos as for its rich cultural tradition. (Macau is also the biggest gambling city in the world now, surpassing Las Vegas when its casinos raked in $6.8 billion last year.) The $1.2 billion casino resort was showered with an impressive fireworks display. Wynn is taking a gamble with this ultra-luxurious property, as Macau's focus has been exclusively on gambling, and most visitors day-trip from Hong Kong (just a short jet boat ride away) rather than check into hotels. As explained by Reuters:
The Wynn Macau will be closely watched as an indicator of the viability of a planned $24 billion "neon alley" of hotels, conference centres, theatres, shopping centres and casinos being built on reclaimed land. The "Cotai Strip", where Wynn Resorts has a 50-acre plot and its rival, Las Vegas Sands Corp., is building a complex and luring several five-star hotel operators, aims to persuade people from gambling-mad China to stay a couple of days.
With 600 sleek, sophisticated guestrooms, Wynn Macau also boasts six gourmet restaurants, Las Vegas-style entertainment, plenty of meeting space, a health club, pool and luxurious spa. Let the good times roll.

(The Huffington Post) - One man is training to trek across Antartica in record time -- with only skis, kite power, and a 400 lb boob sled.
That second "o" in "Boob" is no typo. Just check out the sled.
Geoff Wilson, "extreme traveler," plans to embark on a "Pink Polar Expedition" in November, where he'll drag a fiberglass boob-shaped sled, filled with survival supplies, to raise money and awareness for breast cancer, Gold Coast News reports.
And these aren't just any boobs -- according to Pink Polar's Facebook page, the knockers are moulded in the shape of Wilson's wife's bust.
Those breasts, along with Wilson, must complete the 1,675 mile trip in less than 64 days to break the Guinness World Record for fastest solo and unsupported crossing of Antartica.
Related Story: Guinness Recognizes Nepali Woman Everest Climber
To prepare for the extreme conditions, Wilson, an Australian veterinarian and "avid adventurer," recently left for the Arctic Circle in Canada, according to the Courier-Mail.
On Sunday, Wilson posted to his blog that current temperatures ranged from -22 to -4 degrees Fahrenheit.
But Antartica will be more difficult -- USA Today reports that the continent's average temperature in November (when Wilson will be there), is -40 degrees Fahrenheit.

"I'm going to be the laughing stock of the penguins down there," Wilson told Gold Coast News.
Still, the booby traveler remains optimistic. The planners of his Pink Polar Expedition hope to raise $1 million for the McGrath Foundation, an organization that works to place breast cancer nurses across Australia.
Inspiring the cause is Wilson's longtime friend, Kate Carlyle -- a journalist and two-time breast cancer survivor. Carlyle assists the Pink Polar Expedition through promoting breast cancer awareness and encouraging women to get themselves checked, according to Gold Coast News.
"She is halfway through her expedition and I'm just about to start," Wilson told the Courier-Mail. "Her bravery will carry me through."

Aoki was born in 1957 in Tokyo, Japan into an artisan family called TOYOAKI MOTO, traditionally categorized as OKIYA, meaning a booking and training agent for Geisha ladies in downtown Tokyo's designated area. While the economy and social environment forced many of those traditional artisan family business to close down in the 60s, Aoki was luckily able to receive some of the important essence of traditional Tokyo Geisha cultural training and studies at age 4, and became a part of the performing crew in early childhood. After his grandmother died, he had kept the Tokyo music training until early teen, and shifted his musical focus to American pop music and experimental music. Since his biological father was a movie producer at Shin Toho Studio, he had also began working in small gage films and started to produce experimental films. Aoki was active performer during the early 70's in the mist of Tokyo Underground Arts movement. Became a member of Japanese Experimental Music ensemble, GINTENKAI presenting mixture of traditional music and new western music.
After coming to U.S. in 1977, Aoki studied experimental filmmaking at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He is currently an adjunct Associate Professor at the Film, Video and New Media Department, and teaches film production and history courses. During the late 80's, Aoki has become a leading advocate for Chicago's Asian American community and one of Chicago's most in-demand musicians on both contrabass, taiko (Japanese drums) and shamisen (Japanese lute). Working in film and music.
Under those environments of his childhood, Aoki has inherited historical and traditional essence of Tokyo Entertainment district's musical concepts, basics and value of flexible creations and applications. With the fall of these special districts in the late 60's and early 70's, the Tokyo's regional Entertainment musical concepts also disappears and as many other art form did, Tokyo Geisha music had institutionalized.
For Aoki, one of the most important goal is to preserve the original essence of fluidity and flexibility and perform rawness of REAL sound. He has adopted this idea to newer works as well.
To this date, Aoki has produced more than 60 recording projects and over 30 experimental films and working internationally. He is one of the most recorded artists in Chicago music scene. Among many of recordings, he has worked with musical masters and legends and produced remarkable duets works with bassist, Malachi Favors, multi instrumentalists such as Roscoe Mitchell, Don Moye and world renowned Pipa virtuoso, Wu Man and another Chicago legend, Fred Anderson.
Using Taiko drumming as a signature, Aoki's solo bass performances project BASSE LIVE and recordings are known for one of the most innovative approaches to the instrument internationally.
Aoki's most important ensemble work, ROOTED: Origins of Now, a 50 minute 4 movement suite, was performed at the Chicago Jazz Festival in September 2001. Because of this work, the Chicago Tribute recognized Tatsu Aoki as "Chicagoans of the Year.", one of the group of Chicagoans who has contributed to the vitality and culture of Chicago by the Chicago Tribune or the City. The Chicago Tribune stated that Rooted had "come into its own as an eloquent, often dramatic merger of ancient Japanese music and experimental American jazz." JAZZIZ, magazine, recognized Aoki one of one of many artists who has changed jazz since 1980." For his contribution to Chicago area arts, Asian American Institute has given Mile Stone Award in 2007.
As an Executive Director of AIRMW, Aoki has initiated and managed several programs to advance the understanding of Asian American culture and community through the arts, including the Annual Chicago Asian American Jazz Festival and the JASC Tsukasa Taiko Legacy arts residency project. His work as an artist and educator in the cultural arts and as a leader in the Asian American community address as well as define the issues facing the community, including the need for quality artistic programs that reflect the Asian American experience.

Meggings are the new phenomena! That's right it has already started, a new fashion trend apparel no man should be without! The ladies will be at awe when they see how ridiculous you look in one of these.
I read this on the yahoo news site when i came across this article called "Meggings (male leggings) are here" apparently it is not enough that leggings are worn by women it is now worn by men as well. I have not seen it out here in NYC as of yet but give it time and some fucking fool will be rocking a pair of those shits and us fellas making fun of them.
In the article they asked popular magazine fashion editors who are male about this so called "Meggins" almost all of them gave the Meggings a thumbs down. I was really surprised about this because these people most of the time never really say what they
think about a certain trend. But i guess the fashion trend "Megging" might have pushed them over the side.
Even this chick is criticizing this fashion as it makes men look for feminized. Article here
Why would a man would wear something like this? Or what type of man would? I mean this is so attacking the masculinity of men that even Gay guys would probably beat up the guy wearing a pair of these.
I never would have believed in the past that in the future society will make men feminized and not be comfortable with their masculinity. Little by little society is pounding down on our heads to let go of our masculine.
First it was the Metro Sexual, Rappers wearing lipstick and kissing each other in the mouth and now Meggings? What's next high heels for men?? What about a male brassiere while we are at it!
I don't know if its me or that the older i get the more i see the bullshit for what it is. Or has stupidity become so blatant that its to big to hide anymore?
My fellow brothers and i mean all of you! Please! do not buy these ridiculous "Meggings" do not follow this trend as it will make you and the rest of us a mockery to the feminists. This goes to both Alphas and Betas even though i think there will be more betas wearing the "Megging"
Buy a "megging" and be a bitch might as well buy yourself some makeup. Men do not wear "Meggings" unless you're Justin Bieber then there is no hope for you!

In effect, the playoffs have already begun for the Creston/O-M football team.
Coming off last week's 34-7 loss that stretched over two days at Harlan after Friday's suspension for severe weather, the Panthers stand in fourth place at 2-2 in Class 3A District 1, and 4-2 overall.
To hold on to one of those four postseason qualifying spots, a win at home this week over Glenwood is crucial. The Rams are just behind the Panthers at 1-2 in the district, and 3-3 overall. Creston/O-M still has Lewis Central left as a district foe, with the Titans and Harlan sharing the top position at 3-0 going into their meeting this week.
Glenwood finishes with district games against Lewis Central and Atlantic, but would own the head-to-head tiebreaker over Creston/O-M with a win Friday.
"This is an elimination game," declared Panther coach Brian Morrison. "It would be very difficult to get it done if we aren't successful this week."
ADM is the third-place team at 3-1, and also owns a victory over the Panthers.
However, on the positive side, a victory over Glenwood and finishing the district season with another win over Lewis Central could propel the Panthers into the top three mix.
"We still have a lot to play for," Morrison said. "We just need to come out and perform Friday night."
The Panthers will probably have to do that without a two-way starter. Sophomore Seth Maitlen, starter at left guard and weak side inside linebacker, suffered a high ankle sprain Saturday at Harlan and is considered "doubtful" by Morrison.
Cory Rathe, a starting defensive lineman, will take Maitlen's spot in the offensive line. Tight end Levi Eblen, who has been a backup at outside linebacker, will move to Maitlen's inside linebacker position. Wyatt Thompson becomes the backup for both outside linebacker spots, in relief of Gavin Leith or Jesse Rathe.
This will be the second week for Bryce Briley to spell Alex Nielsen at free safety, as Nielsen has not been able to practice yet with a sprained ankle.
Up and down
It's been difficult to get an accurate read on this Glenwood team, coached by 1997 Nodaway Valley graduate Cory Faust. The 3-3 Rams owned a lead over Harlan until the final seconds of a 28-24 loss, but fell 40-17 last week to 3-3 Sergeant Bluff-Luton.
"They had a lot of weather up there and the field was really wet and slick," Morrison said. "I think that had a lot to do with slowing Glenwood down last week. They have a lot of speed, probably as much as a group as anyone we'll see."
The primary playmakers are 6-5, 191-pound senior quarterback Corey Bertini and running back Spencer Smith, a 161-pound senior. Receivers Gage Shatava and Brogan Weddum have been dangerous as pass receivers and flankers in motion for misdirection running plays.
In the loss at SB-L last week, Bertini kept the ball 23 times for 93 yards rushing and a touchdown. Smith was held to 46 yards on 14 carries. Shatava had five catches for 54 yards as Bertini was 10-of-22 passing for 110 yards.
Brandon Bichel, another receiver, is one of the top kickers in the district along with Conner Pals of Creston/O-M and Lewis Central's Caleb Shudak, Morrison said.
"We'll be starting on the 20 all night," Morrison said. "He puts it in the end zone."
For the season, Smith had 689 yards rushing in six games with eight touchdowns, including an 80-yarder. Bertini has nine TDs running with 299 yards and Weddum averages 7.9 yard per attempt with three TDs.
Weddum averages 26 yards per catch on four receptions, including an 88-yard touchdown completion. Bichel is the leading receiver at 17 catches for 228 yards and a touchdown.
Bertini completes 51 percent of his passes (47-of-92) for 605 yards and four TDs with only one interception.
To date, Panther quarterback Brandon Phipps is 64-115 for 917 yards and nine TDs with four interceptions. Adam Baker is just behind Smith in rushing at 642 yards and three TDs in 117 carries. Trevor Frain has scored six TDs with 206 yards. Phipps has a net of 94 yards rushing.
Maxx Walters, Jesse Rathe, Leith and Briley each have two touchdown receptions as Phipps has used a variety of targets in the Panther passing game this season.
The Panther defense loses a leading tackler in Maitlen, who stands second behind Frain's 78 tackles with 63 total stops to date.
Close call
Two weeks ago, Glenwood nearly posted the upset of the district season, leading Harlan 24-21 in the fourth quarter. Late in the fourth quarter, Harlan quarterback Adam Juhl scrambled for a first down on a fourth-down play, and then found 6-7 tight end Trey Lansman on a fade route in the end zone.
Glenwood cornerback Scout Crow appeared to have joint possession of the ball as they fell to the turf, but officials ruled it a touchdown. That was the fourth and final lead change of the fourth quarter.
"We need to control the football and not put their offense in position where they can make plays," Morrison said. "When they've had trouble, they've been put in second-and-long situations instead of short down and distance after a good gain on first down."
Last year
Last year, the Panthers shut out Glenwood at Ram Memorial Field, 14-0, with touchdown runs by Luke Neitzel and Bryce McIlravy. The game was costly, however, as McIlravy suffered a broken ankle. The Panther defense made a goal-line stand in the fourth quarter. Smith ran for 51 hard-earned yards in the game for Glenwood, and Bertini completed 8-of-20 passes for 67 yards.
Around the district this week, Perry is at Atlantic, Lewis Central hosts Harlan and ADM travels to Newton in a non-district game.


text: DENVER — Carlos Gonzalez homered and drove in two runs, Jorge De La Rosa pitched effectively into the sixth and the Colorado Rockies beat Arizona 4-1 on Wednesday to take two of three from the Diamondbacks. Dexter Fowler had two hits in his first start in the cleanup spot and Nolan Arenado added an RBI double as the Rockies caught Arizona in the standings. The Diamondbacks entered the day tied with San Francisco for first in the NL West.

June 20th Filing Deadline Accomplishments
Custopharm, Inc. is proud to announce that after a very busy two months our regulatory group submitted 38 ANDAs before the June 20th cutoff. This does not include the numerous amendments, supplements, annual reports, drug listings, labeler codes, self-identifications and establishment registration filings. This was accomplished with a team of 10 dedicated employees.
We are extremely thankful and proud of the entire regulatory team, how they worked together to accomplish what seemed to be an impossible task. This accomplishment would not have been possible without each employee stepping up and performing to their maximum capabilities. During the entire process Custopharm didn't miss any deadline for any customer and everything was submitted on time as has come to be expected of Custopharm.
To fully describe the significance of the team's accomplishment, we determined there were at least 600 filings between April and June and Custopharm did 38 of them. If you take out the larger companies, we predict we submitted between 15% and 20% of all of the generic ANDAs.
Using the Aspire eCTD software was a major help in accomplishing this goal, Aspire is simple to use and affordable. Aspire allows you to build hyperlinks and bookmarking into the documents prior to validating and publishing, this feature helped us achieve our goals.
We want to thank our customers for putting their trust in Custopharm.

At first glance it seems obvious, submit your ANDA(s) before June 20, 2014, when the FDA increases the stability requirement from one batch to three batches to save money. However, there are other things to consider. This scenario is similar to what happened in September 2012 right before GDUFA started.
In September 2012, everyone rushed to get their submission filed before the full ANDA fee (approximately $51,000 at that time) came into effect by submitting their application before October 1, 2012. This way a company only had to pay the backlog fee (approximately $17,000). This essentially saved companies about $35,000. However, in looking back what is the true cost of this action. Yes, the filing fee was less but in looking at the GDUFA legislation. It states 90% of the backlog applications will be acted on by the end of FY2017. Think about this for a moment, the FDA operates with a First In First Out approach. Which means those applications submitted in September 2012 are at the tail end of the backlog applications and should hear back sometime in 2017 or later. This is much longer than typical approval times and will cost years on the market. All in the name of saving $35,000.
Jumping to today, industry is repeating this same short sighted savings. Let's summarize what we know.
FDA will require 3 batches and six month stability.
GDUFA time lines come into effect for the first time October 1, 2014 which a target date of 15 months.
All submissions (excluding priority or Paragraph IV submissions) have no required time lines for review.
The FDA has heavily advertised how they have met or exceeded all GDUFA requirements.
There will be essentially zero ANDA filings between June 20, 2014 and October 1, 2015.
In looking at the aforementioned facts, we can easily see that there will be extra costs in the manufacture of the three batches and time lost in the acquisition of the extra three months of stability data. The extra costs translates comes from extra API cost, manufacturing costs and stability costs. However, in many cases there is some reduction in costs due to the use of bracketing and matrixing which can be employed with the three batch approach. That being said there is an extra cost which is substantial.
All applications currently filed have no review time frame associated with them, we have seen variability in receiving responses between 20-30 months from the time of filing. Obviously, there are many factors that cause this variation and many products are outside of this variation both longer and shorter. In any event, it much longer than the 15 months promised by the FDA starting October 1, 2014. Additionally, with essentially no submissions being submitted between June and October, the FDA will be able to get organized for the new submissions that will have target dates associated with them. Based on this, you lose three to four months waiting for the stability data but gain on average 9-12 months in review time. Doing simple math, the time savings are about half a year (6 months).
This obviously assumes that the FDA will achieve their time frames but based on the most recent FDA presentations they will do what they can and considering it is the first time target dates are in effect. I am sure at least initially they will. Other target dates, related to amendments will affect both submission types equally.
The final consideration is the status of your facility. If you have a facility that is filing a generic application for the first time, then there are establishment fee savings. The FDA has stated that facility fees are due whenever a facility for the first time has a referencing application active, submitted or pending on the due date. This means, if you submit in October 2, 2014 then your first establishment fee is due October 1, 2015. This with the shortened review time will result in the removal of one or two establishment fees prior to you approval. Currently the establishment fee is about $220,000 for domestic facilities and $235,000 for foreign facilities. This fee is an annual fee subject to change yearly. For facilities filing an ANDA for the first time the savings are significant.
In conclusion, there are several factors that define a companies path forward with respect to the timing of the filings. Many companies as pressing very hard to meet the June 19, 2014 filing time frame with the goal of saving money and time. Companies should evaluate the big picture to determine what is best long term as opposed to just looking at today. If you are pressing too hard complete a filing, the odds of having mistakes in that submission and therefore receiving a Refuse to Receive increase drastically. This has enormous consequences in lost fees, API costs, manufacturing costs, testing costs and most importantly time.

I would like to start by stating these are the observances we have seen and by no means do I have a definitive solution for the problem. I believe GDUFA (Generic Drug User Fee Amendments of 2012) and the overall system can be effective as it was with PDUFA (Prescription Drug User Fee Act) however I believe the system will require some tweaking.
With the recently announced and rapidly approaching deadline for GDUFA Establishment fees on March 4, 2013, the smaller companies and frequent users of contract manufacturers organizations (CMOs) are quickly realizing that this is completely changing the industry and the competitive landscape for Generic products especially small contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) that are quickly deciding that the extra fees is too great to spend. This creates difficult situations between ANDA applicants and the potential CMOs. In the current system for Fiscal Year 2013 an ANDA filer spends $51,520 as a one-time ANDA fee, however the CMO if there is one spends $175,389 if domestic and $190,389 if foreign per year. With the current average approval timelines that is between $500,000 and $600,000 in fees assuming the fees do not change. Looking at a small CMO that has one ANDA submitted, the facility fees are 10x the ANDA fee. This is not insignificant by any means.
This fee structure creates a huge burden on a small CMO especially one that is entering generic drug manufacturing for the first time. We are finding that many small CMOs that are currently not manufacturing generic products today are refusing to pay the fees as it will be very difficult to recoup the fees since there is no manufacturing going on during these years. Also this situation is very scary for a generic company that uses a CMO because if the CMO refuses to pay at any time in the review process the ANDA will be killed. This can create many sleepless nights.
There are many similarities in the structure between PDUFA and GDUFA and there are some striking differences as shown in the table below. Here we are focusing on the Drug product side and not the API side. Also we acknowledge that the review of an ANDA is nowhere near the same as the review of a NDA.
PDUFA Fee
GDUFA Fee
$1,958,800 (with clinicals)
$979,400 (without clinicals)
$979,400 (with clinicals
$ 526,500
$175,389 if domestic
$190,389 if foreign
In looking at the fees above for an application the fees for NDAs are much larger. Also in looking at the fees at first glance you would say the same holds true for Establishments, however when you take into account these fees are yearly and there are currently significant differences between PDUFA and GDUFA timelines these fees quickly become almost the same and in some instances higher for generic products. Finally you will notice that GDUFA has no yearly fee for approved products.
Looking at this, the primary difference between PDUFA and GDUFA is that PDUFA allocates the fees based on the number of submissions and products you are currently selling while GDUFA does not take into account the number of applications a company has approved as there is no fee for the product. However each ANDA requires yearly submissions such as Annual Reports, Safety Reporting, CBE's, each of these require FDA resources with no collection mechanism. GDUFA fees are predominately paid by companies that utilize numerous manufacturing sites at different locations and gives benefits to companies that have large campuses, as with the current set up a campus has only one fee. This fee is the same as a small manufacturing facility with one product. I will agree that both facilities require Agency resources however the amount of resources are not on the same level.
I believe that the fees should be weighted based similar to PDUFA with a product based yearly fee. This would create equality among the various sized companies relating the fees to not only the number of products filed but also the number of products approved.
Please feel free to provide your comments. This way we can see if we can possibly change the system.
Regulatory Timelines are critical!!
Don't try to cut corners when choosing your regulatory service provider, you may be able to save a few bucks upfront but it could end up costing you millions, see below
Average ANDA approval times are approaching 31 months
The cost of hiring a service provider with less experience can create significant delays
Many companies we deal with chooses interesting generic products with expected profits in the millions; each business day these product approvals are delayed will cost you significant dollars
$1,000,000 product will cost you $5,000 per business day
$5,000,000 product will cost you $25,000 per business day
$10,000,000 product will cost you $50,000 per business day
$20,000,000 product will cost you $100,000 per business day
Custopharm filed the first eCTD ANDA in 2004 and we have filed well over 150 since, we respond to over 100 deficiencies each year

Custopharm provides a ''turn-key" solution to Foreign companies interested in selling their products in the US Market, we have supported companies from every continent. Many companies have interest in expanding markets for their generic products, especially the US market.
It is not necessary to open a US office, this can cost millions of $ before you have FDA approval on your first generic product.
Custopharm has a great deal of experience, we have supported more than 50 companies around the world. (Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Poland, Portugul, Spain, Turkey, and others.
We have assisted our overseas customers by serving as the US Agent, reviewing their documentation prior to manufacturing the stability batch, then submitting the eCTD ESG ANDA and responding to deficiencies.
Also have a program where we review the documentation that will be used for the qualification batch, perform a gap analysis as to what the FDA regulations require, this helps reduce the number of unnecessary deficiencies.
Custopharm can also provide the regulatory maintenance function once the product is approved.
Custopharm filed the first eCTD ANDA in 2004, have filed well over 100 since. We have 9 years of experience with eCTD filings. Currently filing 2 eCTD ESG ANDA's per month. We have a staff of 12 qualified individuals assisting with the effort.
Our fees are 'all inclusive' until the application is approved by the FDA. The beauty of the 'all inclusive' pricing is that our goal is to get your approval as soon as possible, we are not focused on billable hours. Our companies share the same goal, both make more money by moving the application through the process quicker. You will never have to go to your owners/board and tell them there are additional fees/add-ons, a budget you can depend on.
Custopharm provides a reliable service, we have a great deal of interaction with the FDA reviewers during the approval process. The applications we 'fully write' are approved sooner than the ANDA's we publish, in many cases there is a significant improvement in approval times. The deficiency responses are all written in a way that is acceptable to the FDA, we filed over 100 deficiency responses in 2010, over 100 deficiency responses in 2011, this provides a valuable benefit to your company. Minimizing the severity of the first round of deficiencies and reducing the number of review cycles is 'paramount' to Custopharm.
ANDA approval times for our customers are significantly quicker than the industry average.
Custopharm can also connect you with US Marketing companies that can distribute your products.

Industry average ANDA approval times are approximately 33 months, industry has done an excellent job converting to electronic ANDA filings from paper.
The focus for industry remains to provide the FDA 'well written' ANDA applications, this will assist the FDA with more efficient review times.
Custopharm filed the 1st eCTD ANDA in 2004, have filed over 100 since. Custopharm assists companies by through Regulatory assistance, when we fully write eCTD ESG ANDA's the average approval time is significantly faster than the industry average.
On September 19th, 2011 the FDA announced a revision to its 2006 guidance titled "Marketed Unapproved Drugs-- Compliance Policy Guide Sec. 440.100, Marketed New Drugs Without Approved NDAs or ANDAs" (CPG 440.100). This revised guidance clarifies that any unapproved new drug introduced onto the market after September 19, 2011 will be subject to immediate enforcement action, without prior notice and without regard to the enforcement priorities set out in CPG 440.100.
Custopharm can assist with filing ANDA's and NDA's. We filed the 1st eCTD ANDA in 2004, have filed over 100 ANDA's since, approved for the Electronic Submission Gateway (ESG) in 2008, responded to over 100 deficiencies in 2010. Custopharm will make you feel comfortable knowing that your submission is of the highest quality.
Custopharm can also assist with Drug Listings, Establishment Registrations, and SPL filings.
Consider these points:
Compliance has 192 foreign inspections scheduled, resources to complete 62 in 2011. The number of facilities that require inspections has increased in the last 5 years. Consider only 6 years ago there were less than 20 Chinese facilities inspected and approved for API, now there are over 200. A wave of Chinese Dosage facilities have filed ANDA's which will require inspections and additional effort. Numbers in India have also grown with API manufacturers and Dosage facilities over the last 6 years. The additional overseas work created for the Compliance group is significant.
Most likely Federal funding will be cut back in 2012, talks of up to 10%.
Assuming a reduction in the number of inspections and headcount in 2012, the average ANDA approval time could continue to increase.
The possibility of User Fees for Generic applications can generate additional revenue, but will these fees be channeled directly to CDER or will a portion go to the General Accounting Fund? Additional dollars could potentially reduce the average ANDA approval times, or these fees could balance out the potential cuts to the budget.
None of us know how this will balance out next year, companies must think of ways to be most effective and efficient in order to manage the change ahead.
A key to success will be the Regulatory strategy, a 'well written' eCTD ESG ANDA will minimize the efforts of the reviewer.
Don't try to 'save money' with a low cost Regulatory Consultant, now is the time to work with an experienced company that knows what they are doing. A poorly written, poorly managed ANDA can cost a company in excess of 24 months of review time, not to mention creating an unnecessary burden on the reviewer.
Custopharm filed the first eCTD ANDA in March 2004. We have filed over 100 eCTD ANDA's, over 500 ESG filings. We file 'well written' eCTD ESG ANDA's, you can be confident that a quality application has been filed with the reviewer's needs in mind.
Regulatory approval time lines should be a key focus for all Generic companies, even more important than development time lines. Companies must understand a poorly written application could potentially cost them 12-18 months of time on the market.
Average ANDA approval times are approaching 34 months, most blame the FDA. But is this the case? We don't think so.
The FDA receives applications from a vast array of companies, many from overseas. Custopharm has reviewed documents from over 35 companies, many of the applications we see are 'data dumps' to the FDA. Too much information is submitted to the FDA reviewers which clogs up the system and wastes the reviewers time. Another critical issue is how the ANDA is written, every company has a different style of formatting the application, this also adds time to the review. Language barriers can create confusion to the reviewer, this adds additional questions to the sponsor of the application. Last but not least, many applications are not complete which creates additional cycles of review adding to the work load of the FDA reviewer.
Custopharm can assist with review of the development to assure the ANDA is complete, we can then write a 'well written' application with the FDA reviewer in mind, we also assist with deficiency responses. Custopharm has filed over 100 eCTD ANDA's and over 500 ESG filings, we filed the 1st eCTD ANDA in March 2004. We are good at what we do and are fair to our customers.
Having just returned from the DCAT meeting in New York City, all the buzz was about the seemingly imminent "Generic Drug User Fees." Everyone had questions, opinions, suggestions and speculated about the upcoming fees. The main questions were how big the fees would be (especially from smaller companies with limited resources), the impact the fees would have on ANDA approval times and when they would start. It seems everyone had a different answer or idea for the various questions. I heard people discuss feels as small as $20,000 per ANDA to upwards of $100,000 per ANDA. Timelines seemed to range from sometime during the second quarter of 2011 to sometime in 2012. Nobody had an answer to the impact that the fees would have on approval timelines but consensus seemed to be that a target of 18 month approvals would be ideal. The only thing that wasn't in question was whether or not the fees would happen. Everyone agreed that they would happen and most were optimistic to their success.
User fees have been implemented with varying success at the difference divisions at FDA. CDER has implemented PDUFA fees for NDA submissions with success in sticking to the review times in most instances. However, if you read the statistics regarding the decreasing number of new drugs being approved, the real question revolves around the cause of the timelines being kept is it due to the number of filings or due to the fees. Additionally, PDUFA fees for NDA are very large and have created a secondary issue. The FDA would love to remove all unapproved "Grandfathered" products from the market, however the large PDUFA fees make it cost prohibitive to submit an NDA for these products.
On the other side of the coin, CVM has issued reasonably sized filing fees for veterinary drug products but has placed the money in the general reserve fund (or at least so I have been told) and therefore approval times have not improved since implementing the fees. From what I hear, CVM makes OGD look good with the 30 month ANDA approval times.
One other question that poses itself is how do you address, the more than 2,000 ANDA that are currently backlogged once the fees start. Do they keep their place in line or do the get bumped for "priority" paid submissions.A definite concern on industry is if the fees are used to supplement or replace the current Federal Government's funding for OGD. If it replaces, I do not think things will get better quickly if ever. If it supplements the fees, then I think eventually we will get to a much better system wherein timely approvals are possible and to be expected.
In conclusion, it seems not matter what the FDA does, the problem will not be solved overnight. And if you read my previous blog; in Custopharm's opinion one of the primary reason for much of this backlog is poorly written applications that recirculate through the FDA over and over again.

neering design. For this, teachers must either have appropriate background in mathematics, science, and technology, or they must collaborate with teachers who have this background. We held two data-gathering workshops to explore the professional-development situation for K–12 engineering educators. Information from those workshops is also included in this chapter.
Although the emphasis in this report is on engineering education in this country, the charge to the committee included a directive to find examples of pre-college engineering education in other nations, on the grounds that efforts elsewhere to introduce pre-college students to engineering might influence decisions here. The few initiatives we found are described briefly in an annex to this chapter.
Finally, we recognize that numerous efforts have been made to introduce engineering to K–12 students outside of formal school settings, through websites, contests, after-school programs, and summer programs. The committee charge did not require us to examine these informal K–12 activities. We note, however, that some of these initiatives appear to have increased students' awareness of and stimulated their interest in engineering (e.g., Melchior et al., 2005; TexPREP, 2003).
To identify K–12 engineering curricula, the committee relied on the joint efforts of committee members, Prof. Kenneth Welty,1 University of Wisconsin-Stout, and project staff. The methods included reviews of websites of professional organizations, government agencies, and corporations with an interest in engineering education; searches of online curriculum clearinghouses and libraries; and direct communication with engineering educators, technology teachers, supervisors of state departments of education, and principal investigators of known K–12 engineering education programs and projects. In May 2008, the committee solicited public comments on a project summary, which brought several additional curricula to our attention.
Overall, the committee collected more than 10,000 pages of material, including lengthy narratives downloaded off the Web, material stored on compact disks, material assembled in three-ring binders, and material bound into textbooks. The materials ranged from 425 pages on a single
The committee chose Prof. Welty because of his expertise in curriculum analysis, as well as his capacity as a co-principal investigator at the National Center for Engineering and Technology Education (NCETE) funded by the National Science Foundation. NCETE's research agenda complements the overall goals of this project.
