29 U.S. Code § 1343 - Reportable events
prev | next
(a) Notification that event has occurred
Within 30 days after the plan administrator or the contributing sponsor knows or has reason to know that a reportable event described in subsection (c) of this section has occurred, he shall notify the corporation that such event has occurred, unless a notice otherwise required under this subsection has already been provided with respect to such event. The corporation is authorized to waive the requirement of the preceding sentence with respect to any or all reportable events with respect to any plan, and to require the notification to be made by including the event in the annual report made by the plan.
(b) Notification that event is about to occur
(1) The requirements of this subsection shall be applicable to a contributing sponsor if, as of the close of the preceding plan year—
(A) the aggregate unfunded vested benefits (as determined under section 1306 (a)(3)(E)(iii) of this title) of plans subject to this subchapter which are maintained by such sponsor and members of such sponsor's controlled groups (disregarding plans with no unfunded vested benefits) exceed $50,000,000, and
For purposes of subparagraph (B), the funded vested benefit percentage means the percentage which the aggregate value of the assets of such plans bears to the aggregate vested benefits of such plans (determined in accordance with section 1306 (a)(3)(E)(iii) of this title).
(2) This subsection shall not apply to an event if the contributing sponsor, or the member of the contributing sponsor's controlled group to which the event relates, is—
(A) a person subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 [15 U.S.C. 78m, 78o (d)], or
(3) No later than 30 days prior to the effective date of an event described in paragraph (9), (10), (11), (12), or (13) of subsection (c) of this section, a contributing sponsor to which the requirements of this subsection apply shall notify the corporation that the event is about to occur.
(c) Enumeration of reportable events
For purposes of this section a reportable event occurs—
(1) when the Secretary of the Treasury issues notice that a plan has ceased to be a plan described in section 1321 (a)(2) of this title, or when the Secretary of Labor determines the plan is not in compliance with subchapter I of this chapter;
(2) when an amendment of the plan is adopted if, under the amendment, the benefit payable with respect to any participant may be decreased;
(3) when the number of active participants is less than 80 percent of the number of such participants at the beginning of the plan year, or is less than 75 percent of the number of such participants at the beginning of the previous plan year;
(4) when the Secretary of the Treasury determines that there has been a termination or partial termination of the plan within the meaning of section 411 (d)(3) of title 26, but the occurrence of such a termination or partial termination does not, by itself, constitute or require a termination of a plan under this subchapter;
(5) when the plan fails to meet the minimum funding standards under section 412 of title 26 (without regard to whether the plan is a plan described in section 1321 (a)(2) of this title) or under section 1082 of this title;
(7) when there is a distribution under the plan to a participant who is a substantial owner as defined in section 1321 (d) of this title if—
(8) when a plan merges, consolidates, or transfers its assets under section 1058 of this title, or when an alternative method of compliance is prescribed by the Secretary of Labor under section 1030 of this title;
(10) when a contributing sponsor or a member of a contributing sponsor's controlled group liquidates in a case under title 11, or under any similar Federal law or law of a State or political subdivision of a State;
(11) when a contributing sponsor or a member of a contributing sponsor's controlled group declares an extraordinary dividend (as defined in section 1059 (c) of title 26) or redeems, in any 12-month period, an aggregate of 10 percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote, or an aggregate of 10 percent or more of the total value of shares of all classes of stock, of a contributing sponsor and all members of its controlled group;
(12) when, in any 12-month period, an aggregate of 3 percent or more of the benefit liabilities of a plan covered by this subchapter and maintained by a contributing sponsor or a member of its controlled group are transferred to a person that is not a member of the controlled group or to a plan or plans maintained by a person or persons that are not such a contributing sponsor or a member of its controlled group; or
(13) when any other event occurs that may be indicative of a need to terminate the plan and that is prescribed by the corporation in regulations.
For purposes of paragraph (7), all distributions to a participant within any 24-month period are treated as a single distribution.
(d) Notification to corporation by Secretary of the Treasury
The Secretary of the Treasury shall notify the corporation—
(1) whenever a reportable event described in paragraph (1), (4), or (5) of subsection (c) of this section occurs, or
(e) Notification to corporation by Secretary of Labor
The Secretary of Labor shall notify the corporation—
(1) whenever a reportable event described in paragraph (1), (5), or (8) of subsection (c) of this section occurs, or
(f) Disclosure exemption

1. The War Needs Re-Branding
From This Story
Related Content
"The War of 1812" is an easy handle for students who struggle with dates. But the name is a misnomer that makes the conflict sound like a mere wisp of a war that began and ended the same year.
In reality, it lasted 32 months following the U.S. declaration of war on Britain in June 1812. That's longer than the Mexican-American War, Spanish-American War, and U.S. involvement in World War I.
Also confusing is the Battle of New Orleans, the largest of the war and a resounding U.S. victory. The battle occurred in January, 1815—two weeks after U.S. and British envoys signed a peace treaty in Ghent, Belgium. News traveled slowly then. Even so, it's technically incorrect to say that the Battle of New Orleans was fought after the war, which didn't officially end until February 16, 1815, when the Senate and President James Madison ratified the peace treaty.
For roughly a century, the conflict didn't merit so much as a capital W in its name and was often called "the war of 1812." The British were even more dismissive. They termed it "the American War of 1812," to distinguish the conflict from the much great Napoleonic War in progress at the same time.
The War of 1812 may never merit a Tchaikovsky overture, but perhaps a new name would help rescue it from obscurity.
2. Impressment May Have Been a Trumped-Up Charge
One of the strongest impetuses for declaring war against Great Britain was the impressment of American seamen into the Royal Navy, a not uncommon act among navies at the time but one that incensed Americans nonetheless. President James Madison's State Department reported that 6,257 Americans were pressed into service from 1807 through 1812. But how big a threat was impressment, really?
"The number of cases which are alleged to have occurred, is both extremely erroneous and exaggerated," wrote Massachusetts Sen. James Lloyd, a Federalist and political rival of Madison's. Lloyd argued that the president's allies used impressment as "a theme of party clamour [sic], and party odium," and that those citing as a casus belli were "those who have the least knowledge and the smallest interest in the subject."
Other New England leaders, especially those with ties to the shipping industry, also doubted the severity of the problem. Timothy Pickering, the Bay State's other senator, commissioned a study that counted the total number of impressed seamen from Massachusetts at slightly more than 100 and the total number of Americans at just a few hundred.
Yet the Britons' support for Native Americans in conflicts with the United States, as well as their own designs on the North American frontier, pushed Southern and Western senators toward war, and they needed more support to declare it. An issue that could place the young nation as the aggrieved party could help; of the 19 senators who passed the declaration of war, only three were from New England and none of them were Federalists.

Essiac/Flor Essence (PDQ®): Complementary and alternative medicine - Patient Information [NCI]
This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Essiac/Flor Essence
- Essiac and Flor Essence are herbal tea mixtures that are sold worldwide as health tonics or herbal dietary supplements (see Question 1).
- Essiac was first promoted as a cancer treatment in the 1920s. Flor Essence was created a number of years later (see Question 2).
- Supporters of Essiac and Flor Essence say that these products make the immune system stronger, have anti-inflammatory effects, and show anticancer activity (see Question 3).
- Laboratory, animal, and clinical (human) studies with Essiac and Flor Essence have not reported clear evidence of an anticancer effect (see Question 5 and Question 6).
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved Essiac or Flor Essence as a cancer treatment (see Question 8).
Questions and Answers About Essiac and Flor Essence
Essiac and Flor Essence are herbal tea mixtures that have been used as anticancer treatments. They have been used to treat other health conditions also, including diabetes, AIDS, and gastrointestinal diseases.
Essiac is reported to contain 4 herbs:
- Burdock root.
- Indian rhubarb root.
- Sheep sorrel.
- Slippery elm (the inner bark).
Flor Essence is reported to contain the same 4 herbs found in Essiac plus these 4 other herbs:
- Watercress.
- Blessed thistle.
- Red clover.
- Kelp.
Different batches of these mixtures may contain different ingredients or amounts and the effects may not always be the same.
Essiac and Flor Essence are sold worldwide as health tonics or herbal dietary supplements. One company sells Flor Essence and several companies make and sell mixtures called Essiac. This summary refers to the trademarked (brand name) mixtures only.What is the history of the discovery and use of Essiac and Flor Essence as complementary or alternative treatments for cancer?
A nurse in Canada first began to promote Essiac as a cancer treatment in the 1920s. Today, Essiac and Flor Essence may be sold as herbal supplements as long as they do not claim to treat or cure cancer.
- In 1922, a breast cancer patient gave the Essiac formula to the nurse and said it had cured her disease. The patient said the formula came from an Ontario Ojibwa Native American medicine man.
- In 1934, the nurse opened a cancer clinic in Ontario and gave Essiac to patients free of charge. In 1938, the Royal Cancer Commission of Canada visited the clinic but found little evidence that Essiac was effective. The nurse closed the clinic in 1942 but continued to give Essiac to patients until the late 1970s.
- Between 1959 and the late 1970s, the nurse worked with an American doctor to study Essiac in the laboratory and in people and to promote its use. They also created the formula now called Flor Essence. The results of their studies were not reported in any peer-reviewed scientific journals. Most scientific journals have experts who review research reports before they are published, to make sure that the evidence and conclusions are sound. This is called peer review. Studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals are considered to be better evidence.
- In 1977, the nurse gave the formula for Essiac to a company in Canada. In 1978, the government of Canada allowed this company to do clinical studies (research studies with people) on the safety and effectiveness of Essiac. In 1982, it withdrew its permission (see Question 6). This company tried to have Essiac approved as a drug by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but did not get approval.
- In the 1980s, companies making Essiac-like products began to sell the mixtures as health tonics. Because these companies did not make claims that it would treat or cure certain diseases, Essiac did not come under laws that regulate it as a drug.
Supporters of Essiac and Flor Essence say that when the herbs they contain are mixed in exact amounts, the mixtures make the immune system stronger, have anti-inflammatory effects (decrease swelling, redness, and pain), and show anticancer activity. Individual herbs in the Essiac and Flor Essence formulas have been shown to have these effects, but some of these herbs also have been shown to help cancer grow. No results from controlled trials have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals on the effect of the exact formulas of Essiac and Flor Essence in patients with cancer or other health conditions. See the PDQ health professional summary on Essiac/Flor Essence for more information on theory.How are Essiac and Flor Essence administered?
Essiac and Flor Essence are taken orally (by mouth) as herbal teas. According to the companies that make the teas, the proper dose of Essiac depends on why a person is taking it. The maker recommends that Essiac be taken for 12 weeks in a row. The maker of Flor Essence states that adults may take between 30 and 360 milliliters (1 to 12 fluid ounces) of Flor Essence tea a day, depending on individual needs, and may take it on an ongoing basis.
The makers of Essiac and Flor Essence state that the products can be used with other therapies. Some supporters of Essiac, however, recommend that patients avoid any other anticancer therapy (such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy) when taking Essiac, because it may interfere with immune system function and prevent Essiac from working effectively.Have any preclinical (laboratory or animal) studies been conducted using Essiac or Flor Essence?
Research in a laboratory or using animals is done to find out if a drug, procedure, or treatment is likely to be useful in humans. Animal tumor models are used to learn how a cancer may progress and to test new treatments. These preclinical studies are done before any testing in humans is begun. The following laboratory and animal studies of Essiac have been reported:
- In the mid 1970s, the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in New York City tested dried and liquid samples of Essiac in 8 experiments involving the S–180 mouse sarcoma tumor model (a type of animal model used to study treatment). Researchers found that Essiac did not make the immune system more active and did not act as an anticancer drug.
- In the early 1980s, researchers at MSKCC tested Essiac again. They found no anticancer activity after doing 17 studies that used a variety of animal leukemia models and other tumor models.
- In 1983, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) tested a liquid sample of Essiac in the mouse P388 lymphocytic leukemia tumor system but found no anticancer activity. Very high doses of Essiac killed the test animals. Scientists, however, do not know how this finding applies to people who take more than the maker's recommended doses of Essiac.
- In 2004, a laboratory study at Indiana University-Purdue University reported that Essiac slowed the growth of prostate cancer cells.
Studies of Flor Essence have shown differing results:
- Two laboratory studies reported that Flor Essence made tumor cells grow.
- Another laboratory study reported that high doses of both Flor Essence and Essiac herbal teas reduced the growth of cancer cells.
- A 2004 animal study of Flor Essence found that it increased breast tumor growth in rats.
Laboratory and animal studies have reported on the effects of some of the chemicals found in the different herbs used to make Essiac and Flor Essence. These studies report that certain chemicals may:
- Prevent cell damage that can lead to cancer.
- Reduce swelling, redness, and pain.
- Have an effect on the body similar to the hormone estrogen.
- Kill cancer cells.
It is not known if taking Essiac and Flor Essence products can give humans enough of the chemicals that produce these effects.Have any clinical trials (research studies with people) of Essiac or Flor Essence been conducted?
No results of clinical studies (research studies with people) of Flor Essence have been reported. In addition, no reports of clinical trials of Essiac have been reported in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Brief descriptions of one incomplete clinical trial and one review of reports on cancer patients who took Essiac have been published, however.
- In 1978, the Canadian government gave permission to a Canadian company to begin studying Essiac for safety and effectiveness. In 1982, the government withdrew its permission after it found that the company was not keeping all batches of Essiac exactly the same and was not following the proper rules for clinical trials. A review of data from this incomplete study showed no clear evidence of improved survival in cancer patients who took Essiac. Findings also showed that Essiac was not toxic (harmful).
- In the early 1980s, the Canadian government reviewed information on 86 cancer patients who had taken Essiac. This was a review of case summaries written by the doctors; the original patient records were not reviewed. The researchers reported that it was not clear if changes in the patients' conditions were caused by Essiac or something else.
The only reported side effects caused by Essiac are nausea and vomiting. According to the company making Flor Essence, side effects may include increased bowel movements, frequent urination, swollen glands, skin blemishes, flu-like symptoms, and slight headaches.Is Essiac or Flor Essence approved by the FDA for use as a cancer treatment in the United States?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved Essiac or Flor Essence to treat cancer or any other medical condition.
Companies sell Essiac and Flor Essence as health tonics or herbal dietary supplements, which the FDA regulates as foods, not drugs. Essiac or Flor Essence would have to be approved by the FDA as a drug for companies to claim that the products treat or prevent a disease.
Changes To This Summary (02 / 19 / 2013)
The PDQ cancer information summaries are reviewed regularly and updated as new information becomes available. This section describes the latest changes made to this summary as of the date above.
Editorial changes were made to this summary.
General CAM Information
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)—also referred to as integrative medicine—includes a broad range of healing philosophies, approaches, and therapies. A therapy is generally called complementary when it is used in addition to conventional treatments; it is often called alternative when it is used instead of conventional treatment. (Conventional treatments are those that are widely accepted and practiced by the mainstream medical community.) Depending on how they are used, some therapies can be considered either complementary or alternative. Complementary and alternative therapies are used in an effort to prevent illness, reduce stress, prevent or reduce side effects and symptoms, or control or cure disease.
Unlike conventional treatments for cancer, complementary and alternative therapies are often not covered by insurance companies. Patients should check with their insurance provider to find out about coverage for complementary and alternative therapies.
Cancer patients considering complementary and alternative therapies should discuss this decision with their doctor, nurse, or pharmacist as they would any therapeutic approach, because some complementary and alternative therapies may interfere with their standard treatment or may be harmful when used with conventional treatment.
Evaluation of CAM Approaches
It is important that the same rigorous scientific evaluation used to assess conventional approaches be used to evaluate CAM therapies. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) are sponsoring a number of clinical trials (research studies) at medical centers to evaluate CAM therapies for cancer.
Conventional approaches to cancer treatment have generally been studied for safety and effectiveness through a rigorous scientific process that includes clinical trials with large numbers of patients. Less is known about the safety and effectiveness of complementary and alternative methods. Few CAM therapies have undergone rigorous evaluation. A small number of CAM therapies originally considered to be purely alternative approaches are finding a place in cancer treatment—not as cures, but as complementary therapies that may help patients feel better and recover faster. One example is acupuncture. According to a panel of experts at a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Conference in November 1997, acupuncture has been found to be effective in the management of chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting and in controlling pain associated with surgery. In contrast, some approaches, such as the use of laetrile, have been studied and found ineffective or potentially harmful.
The NCI Best Case Series Program, which was started in 1991, is one way CAM approaches that are being used in practice are being investigated. The program is overseen by the NCI's Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM). Health care professionals who offer alternative cancer therapies submit their patients' medical records and related materials to OCCAM. OCCAM conducts a critical review of the materials and develops follow-up research strategies for approaches deemed to warrant NCI-initiated research.
Questions to Ask Your Health Care Provider About CAM
When considering complementary and alternative therapies, patients should ask their health care provider the following questions:
- What side effects can be expected?
- What are the risks associated with this therapy?
- Do the known benefits outweigh the risks?
- What benefits can be expected from this therapy?
- Will the therapy interfere with conventional treatment?
- Is this therapy part of a clinical trial?
- If so, who is sponsoring the trial?
- Will the therapy be covered by health insurance?

About PDQ
PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
Images in the PDQ summaries are used with permission of the author(s), artist, and/or publisher for use within the PDQ summaries only. Permission to use images outside the context of PDQ information must be obtained from the owner(s) and cannot be granted by the National Cancer Institute. Information about using the illustrations in the PDQ summaries, along with many other cancer-related images, are available in Visuals Online, a collection of over 2,000 scientific images.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).
Last Revised: 2013-02-19
If you want to know more about cancer and how it is treated, or if you wish to know about clinical trials for your type of cancer, you can call the NCI's Cancer Information Service at 1-800-422-6237, toll free. A trained information specialist can talk with you and answer your questions.

|Sargon's species (extinct)
|Alpha Quadrant
Arret was a formerly inhabited planet of the Alpha Quadrant. This was the homeworld for an extinct warp capable humanoid species.
This planet was located hundreds of light years past the limits of Federation exploration in 2268. The location of the planet in the Milky Way Galaxy was depicted on a Federation star chart in 2293. (TOS: "Return to Tomorrow", Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, production art)
Originally Earth-like (though much older), its atmosphere was ripped away by a cataclysmic war fought half a million years before the USS Enterprise arrived in orbit. Its surface was devoid of life.
Eleven survivors of that great war created a shelter 112.37 miles below the surface. This vault was constructed of material harder and stronger than anything Commander Spock had measured at that time; its atmosphere (perhaps arranged especially for the landing party) was "a fraction richer in oxygen than usual".
Originally humanoid, the eleven surviving specimens of Sargon's species placed the essence of their minds into spheroid receptacles. In 2268, only two spheres besides Sargon's still contained a living mind: that of Thalassa, Sargon's wife, among the five spheres kept on the lower tier, and that of Henoch, a member of the conflict's "other side", on the upper. (TOS: "Return to Tomorrow")

Wet Weather Golf Tips
This past spring has been unseasonally wet for most of the Pacific Northwest. Our PGA professional and Director of Golf, Guy Puddefoot, has a couple tips to help any golfer play on the softer ground.
"With the exceptionally wet spring/ early summer, most courses in the Northwest are much wetter and softer than usual for this time of year. Sometimes, it can be helpful to remember a few tips for hitting shots in the fairway in these conditions. The most common mis-hit is the "fat" or "heavy" shot, which occurs when contact is made with the ground before the ball, and we all know it's supposed to be the other way around!
A couple of things that may help you:
1. Play the ball a little further back in your stance than normal to help ensure the ball is the first contact. Any water/moisture that gets between the ball and the face of the club will affect the shot, so you must make clean contact. Even a little thin is better than a little fat.
2. At address, try feeling like you are standing a little "taller" than normal. With softer turf, we actually will tend to sink just enough to cause us to hit the ground first.
Hopefully, with our sudden turn in weather, you won't need these tips again until this fall!
Fairways and Greens,
-Guy Puddefoot"

On Tuesday we reported on the major graffiti spree that resulted in more than $8,000 worth of damage at Gasworks Park. At the time, police indicated that up to 40-50 youths were likely involved in the vandalism.
Today, at least one youth has been taken into custody for the crime.
Here's the official account from SPD:
A man arrested today in connection with a massive vandalism spree at Gasworks Park told police he began spray painting walls in the park early Monday after his 19th birthday party "got out of hand."
After vandals caused more than $8,000 of damage at Gasworks this week, SPD Graffiti Detective Chris Young received a tip that a large group spotted fleeing from the park early Monday morning had gathered there to celebrate the 19-year-old man's birthday.
Det. Young contacted the man at his home near Gasworks today and took him into custody.
The man, who has a history of vandalism, admitted he had tagged walls at Gasworks and will now be booked into the King County Jail for Investigation of Malicious Mischief.
Detectives continue to work to identify other suspects in the case. If you have any information which could help identify other suspects, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 206-684-5534.

CHERRY HILL, NJ (COURIER POST ONLINE) - A father who sent his 10-year-old autistic son to school with a digital tape recorder released a video Monday in which he alleges verbal abuse by the boy's teacher and other adult staff.
Stuart Chaifetz contends what he heard on the six and a half hours of audio recorded Feb. 17 at Horace Mann Elementary School includes an adult he can't identify calling his son, Akian, "a bastard."
In a YouTube video in which he references audio portions of his son's day, Chaifetz describes "disgusting and vile" bullying of Akian, saying the boy at one point is brought to tears.
Chaifetz says he took the audio to school officials in February, and "to their credit, they took immediate action and fired one aide" the same month.
But Chaifetz says on the video he wants an apology from school staff and legislative action regarding student bullying. And in an interview Monday, he questioned why his son's teacher still works in the district.
"I thought this would be enough to get a teacher fired, but apparently not," said Chaifetz, 44, an investigator for an animal protections group.
District spokeswoman Susan Bastnagel described the incident Monday as "a personnel matter that the district took seriously and handled quickly and appropriately." Bastnagel, who had no further comment, did not confirm anyone was fired or that the teacher remains with the district.
Chaifetz is no stranger to Cherry Hill schools. He once went on a hunger strike to protest cuts in special ed and twice ran unsuccessfully for a school board seat.
Chaifetz said his son's "negative behaviors that no one could explain" in the first six months of the school year led him to send Akian to school with a digital recorder attached to his clothing. Chaifetz said the school was reporting uncharacteristic outbursts by Akian that included hitting a teacher and aide.
Chaifetz said Akian can talk but that his communication is impaired, and he was unable to describe to his father what was upsetting him.
"When I heard the audio, my life was forever changed," Chaifetz wrote in a press release Monday.
"As a father and an activist and a human being, I could not stay quiet," he said.
Chaifetz says he sent a letter to the district earlier this month again asking why the teacher wasn't fired and got no response. That's when he decided to go public. He says if the district doesn't take further action, he will release the names of the aide and teacher.
In another case last December, Gloucester County Special Services District teacher Steven Roth was seen in a secretly recorded cellphone video berating a 15-year-old special needs student and apparently calling him a "tard."
Roth was immediately suspended without pay from Bankbridge Regional School.
Meanwhile, Chaifetz insisted, "I didn't want this to be an attack against the school. They did everything they could, but they seem to have hit a wall.
"And it's that wall I'm against."

text: Home Culture All Hail the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul With the sequel to My Life, Mary J. Blige reminds us why her throne is really the one to watch. By: Akoto Ofori-Atta Posted: Nov. 18 2011 12:27 AM 0 Getty Images As the last performer at BET's 2011 Black Girls Rock! awards show last month, Mary J. Blige took the stage, donning her classic look: a black wool fedora, tucked low and cocked to the side, revealing one eye heavy with a premature wisdom that comes only with singing through a lifetime's worth of pain. She roared into "My Life," the title track from her sophomore album, which marked a breakthrough in her career and for hip-hop soul. The song, a bluesy call to tackle adversity head on, brought the multigenerational crowd -- from 17-year-old new urban songstress Elle Varner to the iconic Angela Davis -- to their feet. "I love you ladies to death," Blige told the audience over howling applause at the end of the performance. But her devotees already knew that. Her till-death-do-us-part affinity for her fans is reciprocal, evidenced by her ability to stay relevant for nearly two decades. It's also proof positive that they are eagerly anticipating her 10th studio album, My Life II: The Journey Continues, set for release on Nov. 21. The encore is only fitting, since her life's journey is worth documenting. Blige's rise from a talented but troubled around-the-way girl to an R&B icon might baffle critics who remember her from the '90s. Ironically, the life experiences -- substance abuse, depression and a tumultuous romance with K-Ci from Jodeci -- that gave birth to her deep, endlessly relatable lyrics were the same experiences that caused many missed appearances and botched live performances. It was those moments that colored her career after the release of My Life in 1994, resulting in the overblown and widely circulated perception of Blige as a horrible singer. Her fans seemed to care not: My Life sold more than 3 million copies. Certified triple platinum. It was clear that what Blige gave her fans was more valuable to them than a pretty voice and perfect pitch. For black women in the inner city who knew Blige's life experiences -- growing up in the projects without a father, and everything that circumstance can bring with it -- My Life offered them therapy. It gave them the kind of comfort that comes only with knowing they weren't alone. Blige sang of the hard-to-digest reality of black womanhood and brilliantly laced it with the possibility of healing. It was the perfect cocktail of hope, and her fans drank it up. For other black women, My Life was an outlet for collective sympathy. Blige gave them the means to connect to a sisterhood that they knew but couldn't always see. She told her story with such authenticity that those who didn't have the same personal hardships still knew that her struggles could easily have been their own. And women aren't her only fans. To celebrate the 15-year anniversary of the album in 2009, My Life producer Chucky Thompson hosted Men Love Mary: A Tribute to My Life, an all-male EP that covered songs from the album. And if, in Blige, black men didn't always see their mothers, sisters, daughters, girlfriends or wives, their favorite rappers did. To Jay-Z, Nas, Method Man, Ghostface Killah, the Notorious B.I.G., Common and a host of other emcees she's collaborated with, Blige was their undisputed queen. Since My Life, she has kicked her drug habit -- and K-Ci -- to the curb and married her manager, Kendu Isaacs, a turning point in her evolution as an artist. Today, gone are the critiques of Blige as an awful crooner and a less-than-stellar performer. A performance of "No More Drama" at the 2002 Grammys quelled those reports, and there's been no trace of them since. Now, with My Life II, Blige is poised to re-energize longtime fans and bring newer fans into the fold. The album is not short on megastars -- Beyoncé, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Drake are only a few of the big names on the track listing. With all-star production from Diddy, Jermaine Dupri and Swizz Beatz, it's likely that My Life II will be her 10th No. 1 album on the Billboard Hip-Hop/R&B chart. But to her fans and to the legacy she has already established, the numbers don't matter. Her importance to a generation of young black people can't be measured. We can thank Blige for what is arguably R&B's most shining run in the '90s: SWV, Xscape, Faith Evans and countless others who followed in her footsteps. She popularized the melding of R&B and hip-hop, and there is no other soul singer more important to rap than Blige. She gave the hip-hop generation what Aretha Franklin gave the civil rights generation: a sound track and a voice. For that, she is indeed the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul. Here's to a continued reign.

The government is reviewing the National Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Policy of 2003 to make it match with changes in the ICT sector and ensure equitable access to opportunities.
The policy review process has come at an opportune time when ICT is increasingly becoming an important ingredient and tool in all facets of socio-economic activities, as demonstrated by the importance that the mushrooming initiatives are occupying in our society, including government, schools, economy and health.
This was said yesterday in Dar es Salaam by Minister for Communication, Science and Technology Prof Makame Mbarawa at the ICT stakeholders' forum convened to kick-start the policy review.
"The policy review approached, as implementation of the National ICT Broadband Backbone, is moving into the second phase that is opening vast opportunities in the use and application of ICT, which in turn requires new and improved coordination mechanisms of national IT systems such as the making of the growing number of databases in the country to talk to each other," he noted.
Prof Mbarawa said the need for rapid growth of economic activities in the ICT sector to be matched with indicators of its contribution to the national gross domestic product (GDP).
The minister's expectations is to include a thorough evaluation of past efforts and build on the national agendas and priorities as stipulated in the various policies, strategies and development plan instruments, including the Tanzania Development Vision 2025, National Strategy for Poverty Reduction and Growth Phase II (Mkukuta).
He acknowledged the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (Uneca) for agreeing to work with Tanzania in the project to support and facilitate the policy review process and its implementation.
For his part, Forum Chairperson and permanent secretary in the Ministry of Communication, Science and Technology Dr Florens Turuka said the updated policy would guide the sector in the coming years.
He said the review would incorporate views of different stakeholders, including journalists.

One thing I love about vintage styles as well as older gentlemen is the use of hats. I remember finding all these old pictures of my late great grand-dad years ago and thinking he had to have been my most elegant relative ever because he always had on hats. good work!

The skirt garment also features an attached heavy belt that is not unlike championship wrestling belts of today. You may add more items to this order so that you may look more manly and dangerous. A novelty sword and shield would be excellent choices to add to this order.
