Teaching Music through Compositionoffers a practical and fully multimedia curriculum of over 60 lesson plans in 29 units of study, including student assignments sheets, worksheets, handouts, and audio, MIDI, and video files on a companion website. Author and award-winning music educator Barbara Freedman presents classroom-tested ways of teaching a wide array of musical topics, including general/basic music theory, music appreciation and analysis, keyboarding, composing/arranging, even ear-training (aural theory) using technology that will directly engage students in the twenty first century. The larger curriculum objective of this book is to teach basic musical concepts through the creative process of music composition. The tool with which students create, edit, save, and reproduce music is the technology. As Freedman demonstrates, technology allows a musical experience for all skill levels in opportunities never before available to compose music without having to know much about traditional music theory or notation. All students can have meaningful hands-on applied learning experiences that will impact not only their music experience and learning but also their understanding and comfort with 21st century technology. Whether the primary focus of your class is to use technology to create music or to explore using technology as a unit or two, this book will show you how it can be done with practical, tried-and-true lesson plans and student activities.

I'm Back from 12-days in Europe
by Scott Kelby | 20 comments
Hi gang — if you were wondering why I pretty much ducked out of sight on social media in the past week or so, it's because the wifey and I, our friends Jim and Jean, and Kalebra's mom and dad all snuck off for a vacation that we've planning for over a year to celebrate Kalebra's mom's 73rd birthday.
Her mom had always dreamed of cruising down the Danube river in a "flatboat" so that's exactly what we did. We started out in Prague for 2-1/2 days, then made our way to Nuremberg, Germany to catch the boat that took us to some very charming towns along the Danube (like Passau and Rugnesberg), with overnight stops in Vienna Austria and ending up in Budapest for a day in the city and then the next day our flight home.
Anyway, I have lots to share, and lots of photos of course, but I've been flying for 17 hours so I'm going to do the full post tomorrow, so I hope you'll check back here then. Again, sorry for dropping out of sight on social like that, but I'm back in the saddle and ready to rock. Well, at least I hope to be tomorrow. ;-)
Cheers and I hope to see you back here tomorrow for the full trip report.

Rowing Machine
This exercise is public.
Browse Exercises → Rowing Machine
The rowing machine simulates the action performed while rowing a racing boat in the water. Rowing is a good cardiovascular exercise, but it also does a great job of working your legs, arms, and shoulders. Take the handle with both hands, starting with your knees tucked into your chest and push down on your legs, pulling the handle into your chest leaning back slightly at the finish (ensure your elbows finish tucked into your sides inline with your shoulders). Push your hands away from your body and over your knees, only bringing the knees into the chest after the handle has passed over in a smooth, continuous style.

Welcome the Children
The Journey Ministry is excited to partner with Welcome the Children to help children in poverty. 100% of the money donated through The Journey to Welcome the Children will go directly to supporting the needs of these little ones. Please read the following from Welcome the Children and consider how you can help today.
We have all been exposed to the tragedy of poverty, whether through the media or witnessing the effects first hand. There is no question of the graphic destruction caused by the lack of food, water, and other basic necessities. Witnessing such defeating circumstances often times leaves us feeling helpless and hopeless. If we allow ourselves to be overwhelmed or to become indifferent to this truth, the cycle will only continue, tearing into the lives of people who see no way out. Of all effected, children are left as the most devastated victims.
When a child is unable to receive proper and adequate nutrition, shelter, and education, the hope of a promising future diminishes. Instead of enjoying the innocence of childhood, they engage in a battle for their lives. How can we help?
Welcome the Children is a non-profit organization that recognizes the oppressive nature of poverty. Our mission is to obey Christ's call to sow abundantly into the lives of those in need. All of the funds we receive are utilized to break the vicious cycle and supply children with a means to defend their right to thrive; quite simply, what you give is what they get. Every child that we help is one less child bound by the chains of despair. By providing nourishment for the mind, body and soul, we give them the tools necessary to be future leaders who become catalysts for positive change. We are excited that today more than 450 children are able to receive an education and care, some of them for the very first time!
Through your prayers and financial contributions, you can empower lives and give children the opportunity to flourish! Please, help us give them a hand up.
"Anyone who welcomes a child on my behalf welcomes me…" – Matthew 18:5
Since 1992, Ron Moore and The Bible Chapel have partnered with Mirko and Traci Delabasich at their Word of Life (WOL) camp in Panama. A team of youth was sent to Panama in 2006 on a sponsored short-term trip to the camp. On this trip, they shared the gospel and spent time with more than 1,400 students. As this team returned home, their passion for this ministry became contagious and set the course for the relationship.
Since then, the church has sent several teams. Those teams participated in many different activities, including serving during the children and youth camp season at the WOL camp, performing drama and puppet ministries in public schools, completing construction projects, and hosting women's and leadership conferences.
The common thread with the trips is that Traci would take each of the teams to a local orphanage where she spent much of her free time. During these visits, the teams ministered to the abandoned and orphaned children through relationship, sport, crafts, and simply caring. The children started to become more than faces. They became names, stories and relationships that started to grow and bloom out of this loveless trap. God clearly was calling The Bible Chapel to do more. In 2010, the The Bible Chapel heeded God's calling and provided the funding and manpower to create a better environment for some of these forgotten children. Without help, most of them would be turned loose at the age of 18 into a life of drugs and prostitution in the hard streets of the toughest neighborhoods. Through much prayer and discussion, the cross-cultural team decided that the best way to serve them would be to provide a loving, Christ-filled home with parents that would love the children unconditionally.
In 2011, the Fundación ANA Panama, (Ayudando Niños Abandonados), was formally created in Panama, and Mario and Fernanda Herrera were called as the first set of house parents. By November, the first home was rented and the first children were in the care of the foundation. The year 2012 was a year of growth as eight boys between the ages of 7 -14 transitioned from the orphanage into the first home. A second home was rented in August, 2012 and eight more boys have been identified to start the transition from the orphanage by early 2013. Several girls have been identified as candidates and the hope is that a girls home will home will be opened in the first half of 2013.
The primary goal of ANA Panama is to help each child realize that they are wonderfully created and loved by God. As we grow with each one of them, they are led to find their unique gifting and how to use it as they mature. Each child is provided all of the basics necessities including housing, meals, clothing, recreation, schooling, tutoring, mentoring, friendship, and, most of all, love. We also want to equip them with the skills to successfully be integrated into society in a healthy, productive way.

Excerpt Only This is a shortened version or summary of the article you requested. To view the complete article, please log in or create an account. Registration is Free!
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 and Executive Order 12866 require the publication of a semiannual inventory of the rulemaking under development, and the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) publishes this wish list for the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The latest, as of this publication, came out on Dec. 7, 2009. This author always notices when the list comes out since the questions begin regarding the dates on the list, especially those asking whether the dates are for real. Like all wishes and dreams, sometimes they do come true, but the FDA's batting average is well below the Mendoza Line—i.e., less than 200, or 1 in 5 (which, of course, is poor).
Most of the trouble with the Unified Agenda is caused when someone from the FDA speaks publically and is asked far-reaching questions such as, "When will the Final Monograph on insect drugs be issued?" to which the speaker responds with what items are included in the Unified Agenda. Once audience members hear the agenda, they expect those items to be acted upon and when they are not, like the children, they are disappointed. Therefore, please note that the following items are listed in the Unified Agenda but this should not be used as a basis for marketing or sales plans; while on the agenda, they are rarely completed, as will be shown.
The Latest Unified Agenda
Of all the agenda items, following are the four that are relevant to personal care, in the order in which they appear. With regard to the FDA's language throughout, it should be noted that a final action refers to issuing a Final Rule on a given topic; anything else is merely proposed.
1. Prerule stage: Item one on the Unified Agenda, in the "prerule stage," addresses OTC drug labeling requirements. In 1999, the FDA published its final rule stating that a standardized labeling format would significantly improve the readability of OTC labels by familiarizing consumers with the information included and the location of the information. In addition, a standardized appearance with standardized content, including user-friendly visual cues, would help consumers to locate important health and safety information, thus allowing them to quickly and effectively compare and select products. This became known as the "Drug Facts" box, which is required for all OTC drugs with the exception of the current stay for new sunscreens.

Leicester City appoint Chinese businessman to board of directors
Posted: November 16, 2012|
Leicester City have confirmed the appointment of Liu Shillai to its board of directors.
The 40-year-old Chinese entrepreneur and businessman Mr Liu will take up the position of vice-chairman alongside Aiyawatt Raksriaksorn, son of chairman Vichai Raksriaksorn.
Mr Liu's appointment to the board of directors has been fully ratified by the Football League and he will take up his position from December 1.
There will be no change to the ownership structure of the club, which remains wholly owned by King Power International.
"Mr Liu's extensive experience and knowledge will be of great value to the club, along with a great sense of sportsmanship," said a club spokesman.
"His appointment reflects the vision of Leicester City chairman Vichai Raksriaksorn to strengthen the club's highly-valued domestic fan-base with an international following, recognising China as the largest potential fan-base in Asia.
Vichai Raksriaksorn said: "I am delighted that Mr Shillai has accepted our invitation to join the Leicester City board of directors."
Mr Liu said: "I am extremely proud to be joining an ambitious, progressive club with the heritage and tradition of Leicester City and it is my intention to play a role in the club's further development and growth."

nVidia driver 1.0-96xx causes glitches, artifacts and crashes on Ubuntu Edgy/Feisty

nVidia driver 1.0-96xx causes glitches, artifacts and crashes on Ubuntu Edgy/Feisty
I tried using the nVidia 1.0-96xx graphics driver on Ubuntu Edgy/Feisty with a GeForce2 MX Integrated Graphics Card. However, the driver is completely unusable on my system, it messes up the entire screen with graphical noise and a lot of glitches, for example:
1) When scrolling up or down in any widget, the lines get mixed up. This applies to lists as well as textboxes and every other control that has scrollbars. I observed it in Gedit, Gnome Control Center, Synaptic, Gnome Terminal etc. pp.
2) Using the 1.0-96xx driver causes the System to crash withaut any apparent cause. I haven't been able to find any steps to reproduce these crashes, they seem to happen randomly.
3) The area that was obscured by a window or menu is not properly redrawn when the window is moved or the menu is closed. The formerly-obscured area is filled with graphical noise, every now and then mixing in what seems to be distorted pixmaps from some kind of cache.
4) The pixmaps that show up in these areas seem to originate from some kind of cache. For instance, on one occasion i spotted the background image from a website which i visited with firefox some minutes earlier. On another occasion, it showed what looked like a distorted screenshot of Evolution, probably cached by the X server.
5) Most interesting observation: This "screenshot" of evolution was actually from Evolution run by *another user * on *another Ubuntu installation* installed on *another partition* of the same machine. Both installations share a swap partition; My guess is that Ubuntu's X server cached the pixmap of evolution, that the cached pixmap got stored in the swap partition, and that the graphics driver for some unknown reason reads the cached X data from the swap partition and uses it to render my desktop.
This behaviour makes the nVidia 1.0-96xx driver unusable for me. The 1.0-8776 driver, the latest version to work correctly on my machine, is not buildable on Ubuntu Feisty, i think it has problems with Feisty's 2.6.20 kernels. The free/open-source nv driver works flawlessly, but its usage entails sacrificing any and all 3D applications. However, given the above, the nv driver is all I get on Feisty.
I noticed these things in every 1.0-96xx version of nvidia's driver that i have tried, including the driver currently included in ubuntu's repository (1.0.9631+22.214.171.124-8.6). The 1.0-8xxx drivers worked flawlessly. Compiling the drivers from source doesn't work on Feisty, and didn't solve the problem on Edgy: Same effects.
Painting random pixmaps from some X cache is also a serious security breach; showing a "screenshot" of evolution, with emails recently received by a different user running a different operating system installed in a different partition is clearly unacceptable.
I have added my xorg.conf and two screenshots to give you an impression of this bug. For more information, please see:
Help is very much appreciated. At the very least, I'd like to have instructions on how to install the 1.0-8776 version on Feisty's 2.6.20 kernels. A bugfix or workaround would be even better, of course.

Romney can not win, will not win. He can not articulate conservativism because he is not a conservative. Also we need someone that can articulate conservative vision. That's exact what Reagan did. That's what I see in Newt. Is he perfect no but he's the closest we have. Wait until the main stream media gets thru with Romney. I think you will see specials on mormonism, wait until it comes out his great grandfather had 4 wives. The left will definitely get that out. I have nothing against…Continue

"Boys, follow me.... I smell cameras."
Can we take up a collection to get Mike Lang a new sweater?
Surprised that this has not yet been posted here:
This article makes some great points about Davis' credibility in denying that he coached Tomaselli....
So, knowing what we now know (that Tomaselli lied)... when will we hear some form of retraction/apology from this opportunist? After all, he used the false allegations of Tomaselli and Van Housen to draw attention and support for his clause. When will we hear him decry the dangers of false accusations of abuse? When will we hear more details of the other victims that he has supposedly been counseling?
I'm guessing the answer to this question is "never"....
So wait a minute..... we're expected to believe that Davis did not find Tomaselli believable? Hmmmm.... that raises some questions about ESPN's role in this whole affair:
Take a look at this quick clip of ESPN's Vince Doria on CNN's "Reliable Sources" (ignoring the irony, of course): http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/bestoftv/2011/12/02/exp-espns-vince-doria-on-reliable-sources.cnn
He makes some very important statements here:
1) It is not common practice for reporters to put two sources in touch with one another.
2) Mark Schwarz did so because "he wanted to get Bobby Davis' take on Tomaselli, to see if his description of his relationship with Bernie Fine offered more credibility"
3) He (Doria) indicates that, in retrospect, they regret having done this in this case, even knowing that they knew then (keep in mind that this was back in December, long before today's revelations from Tomaselli).
So, with all that in mind, let's look at a few facts:
Schwarz ran with the story... ergo, one could conclude that they felt that Tomaselli's accusations added credibility to the story (based on Doria's comments).
Now today, Tomaselli tells us that Davis coached him... but Davis says that they only spoke for a few minutes and that he never believed Tomaselli.
So now the question is this: who is lying here? I will grant that it is hard to believe anything Tomaselli says (and I never did).... But someone is still lying... is it ESPN or Bobby Davis? Due to the inconsistencies pointed out here, they cannot both be telling the truth....
Here is ESPN's Vince Doria admitting that it is not common for reporters to put accusers in touch with each other.... yet they did....
And he also says that they did so because Schwarz wanted to Bobby Davis to tell him whether he found Zach Tomaelli credible....
So, we are now expected to believe that Bobby Davis did not find him credible, and yet Schwarz still ran with the story?!?!?!
One thing is certain: Scoop Jardine has more character and class than his detractors (like fmolly) and will likely enjoy more success in his life than many of them could ever hope for. Way to go, Scoop. Thank you for all that you've given to us fans and to this program!
Let's not forget that Syracuse was the victim of a game-changing call last year versus Marquette in the Sweet 16 that absolutely cost us the game. Anyone remember the back court violation that wasn't really a violation? Look it up....
As for the "controversial call" Brandon was mugged and, because SU was in the bonus, he would've been shooting 1-1. That doesn't mean he would've made them (especially the way he's shooting FTs the last few games).... The refs made the wrong call, but it also would've been wrong to not call the foul and give the ball to UNCA.
Hmmmm..... how does "Steve Clymer" know what Zach's grandmother witnessed? Is he related to Zach, too?
Hmmmm.... were you lying on February 6th when you posted that you were/are Zach, or are you lying now? Either way, there is no reason that anyone here should believe you.
"Ryan" = Zach Tomaselli. Click on his name and check his posting history. He admits as much. Plus, his profile links to a FB page for "Zach Ryan", which has a picture.
"Steve Clymer" is most likely another sock-puppet created by Zach, as well. After all, he admitted in an interview that all of the things being said on the message boards were hurting his feelings and that was why he tampered with communications.
Dear P-S: Please stop giving this guy the attention that he craves.
"Two of Bernie Fine's accusers"..... shouldn't that say "Bernie Fine's two accusers (one of which previously denied any molestation)"? After all, the other two accusers have either recanted their stories entirely (FVH) or have been caught in a web of lies (ZT).
BTW, did anyone see how many news outlets actually picked up this story? This is clearly another attempt by Allred in using her 380 media contacts to keep this story in the news.
Catslave sounds like quite the character.... Click on his name and check out his previous posts.....
He made up his mind about Bernie's guilt and called for everyone to be fired literally on Day 1, yet he has never previously mentioned his "friend's" alleged encounter with a Syracuse player "thug" (which supposedly took place nearly 40 years ago) until just now.
He ridicules a woman who very likely saved the life of a suicidal teenager (while simultaneously promising to take the easy way out if his life ever became threatened by illness).
He claims to have lived all over the country (and now resides in South Carolina, the bastion of open-mindedness), yet he still seems strangely obsessed with what goes on in CNY.
He calls for justice, yet it seems he does not think he has any obligation to fulfill his civic duty in the judicial process (check out his tale in which he boasts about evading jury duty).
He sympathizes with Iran and the Taliban (members of which he claims to have known, although he probably wouldn't want them to know that he mocks their "Religion of Peas" or that he keeps a 1920's era KKK figure displayed "prominently on [his] desk at work".) but does not support a US citizen's Constitutional right to keep and bear arms for purposes of self-defense (even going so far as to declare that a store clerk who recently defended himself from an armed robber should be charged with attempted murder!)
He thinks that the world would be better if there were fewer people and forced sterilization, yet he won't remove himself from the gene pool until a terminal illness threatens his health.... Sounds pretty cowardly to me....
Yup.... He strikes me as precisely the kind of Internet troll who would fabricate a story about unnamed basketball players, 40 years after the alleged incidents, to help fan the flames of public outcries in this sordid case.
Oops..... My correction was incorrect! My bad.....
He was out for 3 games and 1 was a loss.
He was out for 3 games and 2 of them were losses.
Welcome back, Fab! Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!
That's only true if the attempt to file the complaint (and the subsequent denial) happens to fall within the Statute of Limitations period. That is not the case here.
But you keep on giving your advise to the DA, the SPD, and the NYS AG.... they'll give it the attention it merits.
Okay, let me get this straight.... is this the same Bobby Davis that was quoted in another Post Standard article (just yesterday) saying "I avoid the public as much as I can,".
So, did the Associated Press force this adult into yet another on-camera interview??
You know who did have all the facts ( or, at least, knew as much as we know today) and did nothing? ESPN and the Post Standard! Where is your outrage at the way that they have (mis)handled this sordid affair?
If you really "stand by everything you write", then sign your real name to your posts.
You can search "The Q Morning Show" on Facebook and find the comment on their wall.

New season, new coach
Southern Lee students still have a few more weeks of summer vacation before heading back to class. Nonetheless, there was a lot of teaching going on as the Cavalier football team, under new head coach Don Simon, had its first official practice Thursday morning.
As with hundreds of football practices across the state, as Aug. 1 was the first date for all fall sports practices starting for NCHSAA schools, Simon and his staff were coaching conditioning, agility, discipline and proper techniques.
Doing everything the right way, no matter how seemingly small, down to how to clap during stretching, and getting it right every single clap, is part of improving a program which went 6-6 and made the 3A state playoffs two seasons ago, but went 2-9 overall and 1-5 in the Cape Fear Valley Conference last fall.
"Everyone rowing the boat together," was the main idea Simon gave his charges between getting loose, on an unseasonably mild, bordering on cool for August, morning, and starting on a series of mobility drills. "Quick," "drive" and "burst" were popular demands given by Simon and his assistants during those drills.
Simon accepted the Southern Lee job in February, coming from South Florida and six years as head coach at Flanagan High School in Broward County. He led Flanagan to its first winning season in 18 years as a program and was 25-15 in his last four seasons there. Prior to Flanagan, Simon started a football program from scratch at Miami's Ronald Reagan High School.
While making sure practices will be done his way, there was some positive motivation, too.
"That's not bad for a kicker," said Simon to kicker Ethan Helsman as he cut and accelerated around a tractor tire. Simon was a kicker and punter collegiately at Dakota State in South Dakota.
Per NCHSAA rules, football programs must use the first five days of the official preseason for physical conditioning. The first two days, players are in helmets, shorts and no pads. Shoulder pads are allowed, but no full contact isn't allowed, for days three through five of practice.
The practice rules leave a few days of full-contact workouts before scrimmages get going. Southern Lee will travel to Orange for a scrimmage at 6 p.m. on Aug. 12, then play in the Harnett County Jamboree at 6 p.m. Aug. 16 at Triton. The Cavaliers will kickoff their regular season at Western Harnett on Friday, Aug. 23.
The Cavs and Eagles are no longer Cape Fear Valley rivals, thanks to NCHSAA realignment for 2013-17. Southern Lee will play five non-conference games in a row prepping for six CFVC games. The new Cape Fear Valley is Southern Lee, Lee County, Douglas Byrd, Gray's Creek, Terry Sanford, Union Pines and Westover.

The Nonprescription Drugs Advisory Committee was established under 15 U.S.C. 1451 et seq.; 21 U.S.C. 321, 341, 342, 343, 343-1, 344, 345, 346, 348, 349, 350, 350a, 351, 352, 353(f), 355, 360b, 360c-j, 371, 375, 376, 378, 379e, 381, 393, 394, 881(b); 42 U.S.C. 217a, 241, 242, 242a, 262, 264; 21 CFR Part 14, 330.10(a); Pub. L. 92-463 (5 U.S.C. App.), the Federal Advisory Committee Act, which sets forth standards for the formation and use of advisory committees.
Objectives and Scope of Activities
The Nonprescription Drugs Advisory Committee advises the Commissioner or designee in discharging responsibilities as they relate to helping to ensure safe and effective drugs for human use and, as required, any other product for which the Food and Drug Administration has regulatory responsibility.
Description of Duties
The Committee reviews and evaluates available data concerning the safety and effectiveness of over-the-counter (nonprescription) human drug products, or any other FDA-regulated product, for use in the treatment of a broad spectrum of human symptoms and diseases and advises the Commissioner either on the promulgation of monographs establishing conditions under which these drugs are generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded or on the approval of new drug applications for such drugs. The Committee serves as a forum for the exchange of views regarding the prescription and nonprescription status, including switches from one status to another, of these various drug products and combinations thereof. The Committee may also conduct peer review of agency sponsored intramural and extramural scientific biomedical programs in support of FDA's mission and regulatory responsibilities.
Agency or Official to Whom the Committee Reports
The Committee provides advice to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs.
Management and support services shall be provided by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration.
Estimated Annual Operating Costs and Staff Years
The estimated annual cost for operating the Committee, including compensation and travel expenses for members but excluding staff support, is $149,881. The estimated person years of staff support required is 1.10, at an estimated annual cost of $93,575.
Designated Federal Officer
FDA will select a full-time or permanent part-time Federal employee to serve as the Designated Federal Officer (DFO) to attend each Committee meeting and ensure that all procedures are within applicable statutory, regulatory, and HHS General Administration Manual directives. The DFO will approve and prepare all meeting agendas, call all of the Committee and subcommittee meetings, adjourn any meeting when the DFO determines adjournment to be in the public interest and chair meetings when directed to do so by the official to whom the Committee reports. The DFO shall be present at all meetings of the full committee and subcommittees.
Estimated Number and Frequency of Meetings
Meetings shall be held approximately four times a year. Meetings shall be open to the public except as determined otherwise by the Commissioner or designee in accordance with the Government in the Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)) and the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Notice of all meetings shall be given to the public. A report will be prepared which will contain, as a minimum, a list of members and their business addresses, the Committee's functions, the dates and places of meetings, and a summary of the Committee's activities and recommendations made during the fiscal year. A copy of this report will be provided to the Department Committee Management Officer.
Unless renewed by appropriate action prior to its expiration, the Nonprescription Drugs Advisory Committee will terminate two years from the date the charter is filed.
Membership and Designation
The Committee shall consist of a core of 14 voting members including the Chair. Members and the Chair are selected by the Commissioner or designee from among authorities knowledgeable in the fields of internal medicine, family practice, clinical toxicology, clinical pharmacology, pharmacy, dentistry, and related specialties. Almost all non-Federal members of this committee serve as Special Government Employees. The core of voting members may include one technically qualified member, selected by the Commissioner or designee, who is identified with consumer interests and is recommended by either a consortium of consumer-oriented organizations or other interested persons. In addition to the voting members, the Committee may include one non-voting member who is identified with industry interests.
The Commissioner or designee shall have the authority to select members of other scientific and technical FDA advisory committees (normally not to exceed 10 members) to serve temporarily as voting members and to designate consultants to serve temporarily as voting members when: (1) expertise is required that is not available among current voting standing members of the Committee (when additional voting members are added to the Committee to provide needed expertise, a quorum will be based on the combined total of regular and added members), or (2) to comprise a quorum when, because of unforeseen circumstances, a quorum is or will be lacking. Because of the size of the Committee and the variety in the types of issues that it will consider, FDA may, in connection with a particular committee meeting, specify a quorum that is less than a majority of the current voting members. The Agency's regulations (21 CFR §14.22(d)) authorize a committee charter to specify quorum requirements.
If functioning as a medical device panel, a non-voting representative of consumer interests and a non-voting representative of industry interests will be included in addition to the voting members.
Temporary subcommittees consisting of two or more Committee members may be established by the Commissioner or designee as needed to address specific issues within their respective areas of expertise.
Subcommittees make preliminary recommendations regarding specific issues for subsequent action by the full Committee. The Department Committee Management Officer shall be notified upon establishment of each subcommittee, and shall be provided information on its name, membership, function, and estimated frequency of meetings.
The records of the Committee, established subcommittees, or other subgroups of the committee, shall be handled in accordance with General Records Schedule 26, Item 2 or other approved agency records disposition schedule. The records shall be available for public inspection and copying, subject to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552.
Filing Date
August 27, 2013

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
Severe local tissue necrosis will occur if there is extravasation during administration (See PRECAUTIONS). Epirubicin must not be given by the intramuscular or subcutaneous route.
Myocardial toxicity, manifested in its most severe form by potentially fatal congestive heart failure (CHF), may occur either during therapy with epirubicin or months to years after termination of therapy. The probability of developing clinically evident CHF is estimated as approximately 0.9% at a cumulative dose of 550 mg/m2, 1.6% at 700 mg/m2, and 3.3% at 900 mg/m2. In the adjuvant treatment of breast cancer, the maximum cumulative dose used in clinical trials was 720 mg/m2. The risk of developing CHF increases rapidly with increasing total cumulative doses of epirubicin in excess of 900 mg/m2; this cumulative dose should only be exceeded with extreme caution. Active or dormant cardiovascular disease, prior or concomitant radiotherapy to the mediastinal/pericardial area, previous therapy with other anthracyclines or anthracenediones, or concomitant use of other cardiotoxic drugs may increase the risk of cardiac toxicity. Cardiac toxicity with Epirubicin Hydrochloride Injection may occur at lower cumulative doses whether or not cardiac risk factors are present.
Secondary acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) has been reported in patients with breast cancer treated with anthracyclines, including epirubicin. The occurrence of refractory secondary leukemia is more common when such drugs are given in combination with DNA-damaging antineoplastic agents, when patients have been heavily pretreated with cytotoxic drugs, or when doses of anthracyclines have been escalated. The cumulative risk of developing treatment-related AML or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), in 7110 patients with breast cancer who received adjuvant treatment with epirubicin-containing regimens, was estimated as 0.27% at 3 years, 0.46% at 5 years and 0.55% at 8 years.
Dosage should be reduced in patients with impaired hepatic function (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
Severe myelosuppression may occur.
Epirubicin should be administered only under the supervision of a physician who is experienced in the use of cancer chemotherapeutic agents.
EPIRUBICIN HYDROCHLORIDE INJECTION Rx only
Epirubicin is an anthracycline cytotoxic agent, intended for intravenous administration.
Epirubicin Injection is indicated as a component of adjuvant therapy in patients with evidence of axillary node tumor involvement following resection of primary breast cancer.

Randomized, phase III trial of sequential epirubicin and docetaxel versus epirubicin alone in postmenopausal patients with node-positive breast cancer. [2011.08.20]PURPOSE: The Docetaxel Epirubicin Adjuvant (DEVA) trial evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of incorporating docetaxel after epirubicin to create a sequential anthracycline-taxane regimen in early breast cancer... CONCLUSION: These results suggest, within a relatively small trial, that substitution of docetaxel for epirubicin for the last three cycles of chemotherapy results in improved outcome in postmenopausal women with node-positive, early breast cancer compared with six cycles of epirubicin monotherapy.
Epirubicin and paclitaxel with G-CSF support in first line metastatic breast cancer: a randomized phase II study of dose-dense and dose-escalated chemotherapy. [2011.07]An increased dose-intensity can be achieved by either higher dose of chemotherapy per cycle (dose-escalation) or by shortening the interval between cycles (dose-dense). This multicenter randomized phase II study assessed the efficacy and safety of two different approaches: epirubicin 110 mg/m(2) combined with paclitaxel 200 mg/m(2) every 21 days and epirubicin 75 mg/m(2) combined with paclitaxel 175 mg/m(2) every 10 days, both supported with G-CSF...
Predictive and prognostic impact of TP53 mutations and MDM2 promoter genotype in primary breast cancer patients treated with epirubicin or paclitaxel. [2011.04.27]CONCLUSION: TP53 and CHEK2 mutations were associated with lack of response to epirubicin monotherapy. In contrast, TP53 mutations and MDM2 309G allele status conferred poor disease-specific survival among patients treated with primary paclitaxel but not epirubicin monotherapy.
A multicenter prospective phase II randomized trial of epirubicin/vinorelbine versus pegylated liposomal doxorubicin/vinorelbine as first-line treatment in advanced breast cancer. A GOIM study. [2011.04.12]BACKGROUND: To evaluate activity and tolerability of two anthracycline-containing regimens as first-line treatment for anthracycline-naive relapsed breast cancer patients... CONCLUSIONS: Both anthracycline- containing regimens evaluated in the present study seem to be active and with a satisfactory tolerability in anthracycline-naive relapsed breast cancer patients.
Docetaxel and epirubicin compared with docetaxel and prednisone in advanced castrate-resistant prostate cancer: a randomised phase II study. [2011.02.15]BACKGROUND: This randomised phase II study compared the activity and safety of the combination docetaxel (D)/epirubicin (EPI) with the conventional treatment D/prednisone (P) in advanced castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients... CONCLUSION: The treatment of advanced CRPC with weekly D combined with weekly EPI was feasible and tolerable, and led to superior PFS than the treatment with 3-weekly D and oral P.
Adjuvant Epirubicin/Cytoxan Followed By A Taxane VS. Epirubicin/Taxane As Treatment For Node-Positive Breast Cancer [Terminated]
The purpose of this study is to compare two combinations of drugs, epirubicin given with a
taxane (ET) or epirubicin given with cyclophosphamide (cytoxan) and followed by a taxane to
see if one of the combinations is better at preventing or delaying the time for breast cancer
recurrence and death after 3 years. The study will also evaluate the side effects of both
treatment combinations.
A Phase I, Open-label, Study of Pazopanib in Combination With Epirubicin or Doxorubicin for Advanced Solid Tumors [Recruiting]
This is an open-label, four-arm, Phase I, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and
tolerability and to determine the optimal tolerated regimen (OTR) of pazopanib in
combination with epirubicin or doxorubicin in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients
will be enrolled in cohorts of 3 to receive escalating doses of pazopanib and epirubicin or
doxorubicin. Dose escalation schemas for each study arm are described in the protocol. For
each arm, the OTR will be defined as the highest dose combination of the agents where no
more than one out of six patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity. Six to twelve
additional patients in each arm will be studied with the OTR to evaluate toxicity and
pharmacokinetics. This will allow an assessment of potential drug-drug interactions.
Antitumor activity will be assessed using RECIST criteria.
Epirubicin and Docetaxel Combination (ET) or Epirubicin Followed by Docetaxel (E/T) for Node Negative (N0) High Risk Breast Cancer Patients [Recruiting]
The combination of taxanes, and especially docetaxel, with an anthracycline seems to be an
important part of the chemotherapy regimens used in the adjuvant setting of patients with
early-stage node-positive breast cancer patients. Whether sequential or concurrent
administration of these drugs is preferable is not yet known, especially in patients with
node-negative high risk tumors.
Study of Docetaxel in Breast Cancer Patients [Completed]
Primary objectives:
- To compare the disease free survival (DFS) in patients treated with the sequential
epidoxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil (CMF) regimen to that
in patients treated with the same treatment plus docetaxel given sequentially after
Secondary objectives:
- To compare the DFS in patients treated with the sequential epidoxorubicin, docetaxel and
CMF (only patients with > or = 4 lymph nodes) regimen to that in patients treated with
sequential intensified epidoxorubicin/docetaxel/high dose (HD) cyclophosphamide regimen
- To evaluate the overall survival in each arm
- To evaluate the tolerability of a sequential intensified
epidoxorubicin/docetaxel/HD-cyclophosphamide (arm C)
- To compare the safety of a sequential epidoxorubicin/docetaxel/CMF (arm B) regimen
versus a standard sequential epidoxorubicin/CMF regimen (arm A)
Panther: A Study Comparing Biweekly and Tailored EC-T Versus Three Weekly FEC-T in Breast Cancer Patients [Recruiting]
This is an adjuvant, open, prospective, randomized study to compare:
A. Individually tailored and two weekly dosed epirubicin + cyclophosphamide followed by a
three weeks break followed by biweekly and tailored docetaxel (dtEC→dtT) given every second
week, to
B. Fixed dosed and three weekly epirubicin, cyclophosphamide and 5-fluorouracil, followed by
fixed dosed and three weekly docetaxel (FEC→T).
Patients with primary node-positive or high risk lymph node negative breast cancer will be
eligible for the study.
The primary objective of the phase 3 study is to compare breast cancer relapse-free survival
(BCRFS) between the dtEC→dtT and FE100C→T. To detect a five-year BCRFS difference of 0. 710
to 0. 790 about 762 patients per arm will be needed. They will be recruited during three
years and followed another two years for breast cancer events.
Secondary objectives are to compare
1. Distant disease-free survival (DDFS)
2. Event-free survival and
3. Overall survival
4. Health-related quality of life
5. Outcome in relation to tumour biological factors and polymorphism patterns
Tumour tissue will be obtained and stored for studies of prognostication and therapy

Pop Star: Leah Lizarondo of The Brazen Kitchen
Brett Murphy
Wednesday, May 01, 2013

Leah Lizarondo is enjoying an iced coffee at Lawrenceville's Espresso a Mano, the loft-style, rustic coffee shop where your dog can nap underfoot and artwork by tattoo artists Jason and Cara Lambert lines the brick walls. It serves as Leah's "office away from home."
A colorful silk headscarf wraps around her head, tucking back her dark hair. There's a tattoo—that roughly translates into her older kids' names in Philippine—swirling around her left shoulder. At five-foot-nothing, with a calm walk that's more like glide, Leah takes time to stop and talk to several patrons in the coffee shop. They may or may not know that she happens to be one of Pittsburgh's busiest writers and most fervent food activists. And her journey to the kitchen was anything but expected.
"By all accounts, I'm a business person," the former tech marketer and venture capitalist says of her New York City background. "I was good at it and liked it, but it was getting stressful. It was getting unhealthy."
Leah was just in her twenties, but already "popping pills for some autoimmune disease doctors couldn't diagnose." She attributes what thought might have been fibromyalgia to the work-first lifestyle of New York.
While living in Brooklyn, she heard about people curing themselves by changing their eating habits. Since she was a young girl in the Philippines, Leah had an indiscriminate palate. "My father would bring us everywhere and we'd eat everything." And like most people, she was a big meat eater—"breakfast, lunch and dinner, I had meat." She thinks it began to catch up with her.
She and her husband, Bill Shannon, a skateboard phenom and artist (see Pop City article on him
returned to Pittsburgh just when she was having her second child.
Now the mother of three, Leah has been at the forefront of the food revolution in Pittsburgh. She chronicles her work every step of the way at the heavily trafficked
, a food blog she started with a simple question: Why can't healthy food taste great?
"Everything was either grilled vegetables or hummus," Leah says of her early struggles with diet transformation. "[Brazen Kitchen] is about food—good food, that's good for you—with no qualifications." She doesn't like labeling her recipes as vegan, vegetarian or any other "an." Although, she adds, vegetables are indeed the healthiest source of caloric intake. Mom was right after all.
Leah says she's weary to categorize her cooking because "good food is good food." Her dishes like
mashed potato quinoa puffs with sriracha mayo
or the
cereal milk panna cotta with caramelized cornflakes and strawberry puree
do all the talking. She says her health dishes are inspired by that same kind of sexy appeal that makes a bacon cheeseburger irresistible to so many. The self-proclaimed omnivore describes her food as "shamelessly good for you."
And she's finding that there are plenty of shameless readers out there, as the blog has gained a huge local and national audience. She sees the attention as "validation, affirmation, and encouragement" for what she's trying to do.
Here's more validation: Brazen Kitchen was one of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating's Top 50 Vegetarian Blogs of 2012 and it was a finalist for 2013 National City and Regional Magazine Awards. Her writing's also been featured on Oprah.com, NPR, MSN and Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. Recognition, whether it be from a friend or a national publication, "lets me know I'm not talking to a wall," she says.
Following in the mold of kitchen legends like Jamie Oliver and Mark Bittman, Leah says food advocacy is really the backbone of everything she does here in Pittsburgh. BrazenKitchen's tag line? "Food Porn. Food Policy. All in One."
Good food writers like the New York Times columnist Mark Bittman, "reel you in with their recipes and then give you a side of awareness."
"You vote with your fork three times a day," Leah says of the democratic process of eating. "You should care about what you eat and you should care about where your food comes from."
She tries to weave bigger messages about food policy, sustainability and healthy eating for everyone—not just those who can afford to go to Whole Foods.
"Food deserts are urban areas, mostly lower socioeconomic spots, where there is no access to healthy food and they only have places like 7-11 to buy groceries," Leah says with no small degree of frustration. Resources like urban farms, like the one her husband have in their backyard—literally, they own an urban farm in their backyard— keep food local and seasonal, helping alleviate some issues associated with hunger and accessibility.
On top of being an original trustee for Awesome Pittsburgh, Leah is also a Pittsburgh ambassador for Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. Her main role with Oliver's foundation is chronicling all the food initiatives happening here in Pittsburgh, one of which is a cooking class at Obama High School in East Liberty. When she saw chefs from around the city coming to teach kids how to cook with an ear to responsibility and sustainability, Leah knew she wanted to contribute.
"Unlike most of the other food initiatives, the program has no corporate funding," she says of the shoestring budget the cooking class has to stretch. Recently, Leah held a fundraiser at Bar Marco's "No Menu Monday" in the Strip District, where she was the cook of honor. "It was amazing, and the response was great," she says of the black-eyed pea fritters that served as the meal of the night. "Righteous junk food," as she calls it.
Since arriving in Pittsburgh, Leah has cultivated a sense of food awareness, giving new appreciation to the tired idea of "authentic cuisine." Some of her favorite spots to chow down:
in Shadyside ("very artistic and detail-oriented"),
Quiet Storm
in the East End ("your down-and-dirty vegetarian food"), and
in Bloomfield ("a tiny place that reminds me of Brooklyn; the food is very personal to them").
It's the personal connection to the food you eat that is important to her. "Everyone should be aware of the food they are eating in a macro and a micro sense. There's sustainability issues, environmental issues and also personal issues with eating things like processed meat."
On the ground level, she teaches cooking classes and, for a very select few, has a health counseling practice. "I like working with individuals who have heart disease, Type II diabetes, and other 'lifestyle diseases' that are ready to take charge of their health," she says.
"I believe that food, health, sustainability are all connected. A triangle can't exist without one of the points. The BrazenKitchen blog features food as a gateway to the other two points," Leah says. "And people don't want to hear preaching."
The last thing she wants to be is the friend at dinner with their nose in the air who asks the waitress if all the fruit is organic and locally grown. She's far too down-to-earth to nag, but Leah—an abiding lover of food—certainly wants people to question what's at the end of their fork.
"I want to make the message—and the food—palatable."

Central Park
James Marion Sims
This bronze, larger-than-life sculpture depicts Dr. James Marion Sims (1813–1883), who founded the Woman's Hospital of New York at 83 Madison Avenue (1855) and who has been referred to as the "father of modern gynecology." Sims is depicted by German artist Ferdinand von Miller II (1842-1929) in surgical wear; the monument sits opposite the Academy of Medicine at Fifth Avenue and 103rd Street. It was cast in Munich, Germany in 1892 and dedicated at Reservoir Square, now known as Bryant Park, two years later. Von Miller also sculpted Confederate memorials in North and South Carolina.
Raised in the South and beginning his medical career in Alabama before moving to New York in 1853, Sims left the divided United States for Europe during the Civil War (1861–65). After returning, Sims served as president of the American Medical Association in 1876. Sims's groundbreaking surgical methods and inventions, including a silver wire for sutures, earned him worldwide notoriety. After his death, thousands of Sims's medical peers and many of his own patients pledged money towards the monument's erection. The statue was removed to storage in 1928 in preparation for a major restoration of Bryant Park in the 1930s. In 1934 it was reinstalled on a new stone pedestal designed by Parks Chief Consulting Architect Aymar Embury II (1880–1966) at its current location. In 1993 the Central Park Conservancy conserved the monument.
A companion to this piece is John Massey Rhind's (1860–1936) bronze portrait bust of Alexander Skene (1838–1900) in Brooklyn's Grand Army Plaza. Skene, a colleague of Sims, founded the American Gynecological Society (1886–1887), was a Professor of Gynecology at the New York Post-Graduate Medical School (1883–1886), and a Consulting Gynecologist at the Kings County Hospital (1893–1900). His most notable medical discovery was of the para-urethral glands, later named Skene glands. Dr. Skene, an amateur sculptor, fashioned a marble bust of Sims that stood for many years in his parlor and which was later bequeathed to the Kings County Medical Society.

Sotomayor's Record Sets Off Few Ideological Alarm Bells
Lecturer in Law for the Supreme Court Litigation Clinic Kevin Russell and Lecturer in Law Thomas Goldstein are quoted in the Los Angeles Times in an article about President Obama's Supreme Court pick Sonia Sotomayor:
In nominating Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court on Tuesday, President Obama tapped a veteran jurist whose humble upbringing and moderate-to-liberal record is unlikely to trigger an ideological battle in the Senate.
Sotomayor, 54, would be the first Latino on the court. Legal experts said that her narrowly written opinions resembled those of the justice she would replace, David H. Souter. She has not ruled squarely on controversial issues such as gay rights or abortion.
"She is a moderate liberal who often rules in favor of corporations and against civil rights plaintiffs," said Kevin Russell, a Washington lawyer who has studied her writings in recent weeks.
Washington lawyer Thomas Goldstein, who appears regularly before the high court, predicted that Sotomayor would not be the outspoken liberal some on the left had hoped for.
"On the modern court, she's on the center left, pretty much right in line with Justice Souter," he said, based on an analysis of her opinions. "Back in the day of the Warren court, she certainly would have been regarded as a moderate."

Title Fight 7
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is Sony's first foray into the brawler-style fighting genre. With its focus on the company's various characters and mascots, the comparisons to Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. series are inevitable. While All-Stars shares a number of obvious similarities with Nintendo's popular franchise, it differentiates itself with the depth of its combo system and a unique scoring method.Do you remember Sir Dan?All-Stars features a roster of twenty characters and, despite som...12 out of 15 found this review helpful.
PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale is a cool, if limited, way to celebrate the history of Sony's time in videogames 0
From its first announcement, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale was always going to have an uphill struggle against the waves of gamers calling it out as a Super Smash Bros. clone. Even the official PlayStation YouTube channel had put the words "Super Smash Brothers" in its tags, which I guess would mean Sony's PR team just assumed it was a replica of Nintendo's smash-hit fighter. The industry is full of copycat games, so I am fine with Sony trying their own take on the formula, but with some s...1 out of 1 found this review helpful.
All-star Brawlin' 0
PlayStation All-stars Battle Royale pits many classic Sony characters and others that have made an impact on Sony's consoles against one another as they duke it out on various levels, using super moves and items based on the games the characters are from. The way that you play this game is the main differentiating factor between Nintendo's Smash Bros. titles because performing supers is the only way to win. Even still, there are many similarities between the title, but All-Stars is fun enough to...1 out of 1 found this review helpful.
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Review 0
At first glance, most might write off this game as a Sony-branded Super Smash Bros. clone. While in some ways that may be true, that would be unfair to the game since it does a lot to differ itself from its competitor's counterpart thanks to its many tweaks and own unique style to various parts of the game.More importantly, who doesn't want to play as any of the multiple iconic characters of Sony's past franchises?

Sony Smash Bros. Tries Something new but Ultimately Falls Flat. 0
Going into this game i didn't know what to think. It seems like a blatant copy of the popular Super Smash Bros. series, however they do some things that make it unique, perhaps too unique. The main problem with this game is that most of its ads has been positioning this game as a party game. This is false advertising. What is the main thing to having a party game?

Answer by Ian McCullough, Armchair Political Analyst, on Quora,
There are huge changes going on in the South – and that's part of the reason that Conservatives from that region have become so incredibly strident in their efforts to conserve the way things were.
U.S. Census Briefs – Population Distribution and Change: 2000 to 2010
That's a lot of new people – and that's an extension of trends from previous decades. The politics will be shifting as new people keep coming there.
We can also look at commerce and trade activity in the U.S. Per the American Association of Port Authorities, here's the top ten U.S. seaports for 2012 ranked by total trade value (in millions of dollars):
- Los Angeles, CA $399,656
- Houston-Galveston, TX $249,840
- New York City, NY $210,568
- New Orleans, LA $155,147
- Seattle, WA $95,638
- Savannah, GA $92,990
- San Francisco, CA $69,888
- Charleston, SC $63,645
- Norfolk, VA $63,247
- Baltimore, MD $53,960
Here's the list when you rank those ports by metric tonnage (listed here in thousands of tons):
- New Orleans, LA 255,358
- Houston-Galveston, TX 247,337
- Los Angeles, CA 123,073
- New York City, NY 80,802
- Norfolk, VA 64,279
- Port Arthur, TX 64,168
- Mobile, AL 52,050
- San Francisco, CA 49,490
- Philadelphia, PA 48,175
- Seattle, WA 47,686
That's a staggering amount of cargo and commerce along the I-10 corridor from Southern California through to Georgia. The dominance of the South has a lot to do with both the explosion of Pacific trade; the completion of the Panama Canal expansion project in 2015 will accelerate it even more. Also notable is Warren Buffet's strategic investment in railroads (specifically the acquisition of BNSF); along with that, he has been putting money into Southern rail infrastructure to boost cargo capacity.
How about auto manufacturing? Here are America's 15 busiest auto plants for 2011:
- Ford (Kansas City Assembly Plant in Claycomo, MO) – 460,338
- Ford (Dearborn Truck Plant, Dearborn, MI) – 342,162
- Hyundai (Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Plant, Montgomery, AL) – 342,162
- Nissan (Nissan North America, Smyrna, TN) – 333,392
- Toyota (Georgetown, KY) – 315,889
- General Motors (Fort Wayne, Roanoke, IN) – 307,454
- Honda (Marysville Auto Plant, Marysville, OH) – 285,258
- Kia/Hyundai – (Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia, West Point, GA) – 282,316
- General Motors – (Lordstown Complex, Warren, OH) – 279,674
- General Motors – (Fairfax Assembly Plant, Kansas City, KS) – 279,250
- General Motors – (Lansing Delta Township, Lansing, MI) – 277,277
- BMW (BMW Manufacturing Co., Spartanburg, SC) – 277,074
- General Motors (Arlington, TX) – 269,624
- Honda – (Honda Manufacturing of Alabama, Lincoln, AL) – 264,324
- Ford – (Chicago Assembly Plant, Chicago) – 262,730
I don't know about the Ford and GM plants, but all of the foreign plants are new – and they're predominantly being built n the South. It's also worth being aware that Boeing has been relocating operations away from Seattle more and more to Missouri and South Carolina.
Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport is the busiest airport in the United States. Charlotte, North Carolina is the second largest U.S. financial center (behind New York) when ranked by assets. Austin, Texas is a major technology hub and the Dallas/Ft.Worth/Arlington Metroplex is rather stunning in terms of the global companies that have decided to set themselves up there.
The South – at long last – is industrializing. It's going to continue to be a painful and noisy transition for awhile yet, and that's hard for the rest of the country to understand since a lot of the fundamental changes happened decades ago elsewhere. The "Old South" is holding on and screaming, but the "New South" is a big part of America's future.

D.C. Police Officer Rewards Two MSSD Students with the Ride of a Lifetime
D.C. Police Officer Myra Wheeler-Jordan of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Unit (DHHU) knows teenagers well and believes in positive behavior supports. She wanted to reward two outstanding Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD) by recognizing them in a way that they would remember, and would impress their peers. Wheeler-Jordan asked the school to identify two seniors, one with the highest grade point average and the other with the most improved grade point average. The school nominated Oliver Lee as the student with the highest GPA and Marquita Whitfield as having the most improved GPA.
"Oliver Lee and Marquita Whitfield were honored for their hard work and motivation this year with a reward unlike any I've seen in my 15 years as an educator," said manager of student climate Charlene Ward, who accompanied the students on their journey on May 27. Officer Jordan arrived at the school in her squad car to escort the students and Ward to the D.C. Police helioport, located on the Anacostia River near the Nationals Stadium. Pilot Jeff McCormick had the Eurocopter Astar helicopter ready and waiting to take the students and Ward for a sightseeing tour of Washington, D.C. from the air! Prior to the ride, the officers reviewed safety rules and responded to the students' questions.
The helicopter lifted off and headed up and over the Nationals Stadium. The route took Lee and Whitfield to the National Monuments, the White House, the zoo, Arlington National Cemetery, Gallaudet and MSSD, and many more landmarks. The students took turns taking aerial photos.
On the ground, one more surprise awaited the students, courtesy of Officer Jordan. After the students landed and had a few minutes to de-brief with the officers, Officer Jordan whisked them off to the Marine Barracks in southeast D.C. for a ride in one of their high-speed patrol boats, a Zodiac Hurricane. The students and Ward headed down the Washington Channel and out into the Potomac River, with a larger police patrol boat with Officer Jordan and fellow officers following behind. The students picked up some nautical knowledge and on the return journey back into the "no wake" zone of the channel, the pilot gave each of them an opportunity to steer the boat.
The students loved the adventure. Whitfield said the helicopter ride was amazing and that it was "beautiful to see the scale of things from the air. It was really cool to see Ronald Reagan [Washington National] Airport." Lee liked driving the Zodiac and feeling the speed of the boat when the officer went full speed. Officer Jordan, with the support of the D.C. Police Department, was thrilled to be able to offer these hard working students the reward of a lifetime and they were thrilled to experience it.

Test Drive: Sony HVR-HD1000U, Part 2
Jan 28, 2008 12:00 PM
Back again with the new $1,900 shoulder-mount Sony HVR-HD1000U. In the previous installment, I provided a brief overview of specs and features, and evaluated the camera's Smooth Slow Rec feature. In a review you can read here, I provide more technical background and focus on usability. In this segment, I analyze image quality and low-light performance.
Quality Tests
In all tests presented in this segment, I compared the HD1000 with the Canon XH A1, which costs twice as much and has 3CCDs rather than one. It's unfair, but the Canon is the only camcorder I have that matches the HD1000's pixel count, which is relevant for the resolution comparisons I discuss below. It's also the other camcorder that I used in my real-world shoot. As you'll see, in the laboratory tests, I also include results from the Sony HDR-FX1, which also costs considerably more than the HD1000, and has 3 CCDs, but less total pixel resolution.
For the record, in all laboratory tests, I captured directly to disk using Adobe OnLocation, which not only saved the capture step, but provided two levels of zebra striping and a live waveform monitor to fine-tune my videos before capture. The real-world tests I shot to tape and then captured as normal. I shot and performed all quality and low-light tests in 1080i HDV mode.
I color corrected all videosboth real world and laboratory testingin Adobe Premiere Pro, which has pluses and minuses from a comparison and evaluation standpoint. On the plus side, I color correct most videos that I shootespecially in multiple-camera shoots, where the colors are never close enough without tweakingso color correcting reflects real-world usage. The obvious negative is that if I criticize the color reproduced by a camcorder, is it the color correction or the camera that's at fault?
On the other hand, if I don't color correct, and I criticize the camera's color handling, is it the camera or the operator that produced bad color? Given that I have more confidence in my ability to tweak the colors in post rather than perfecting it while on location, especially with a new camcorder, I decided to go ahead and color correct.
