Perrigo Gains FDA Clearance To Manufacture Three Codex-Compliant Infant Formulas To Meet Growing Demand From International Markets
ALLEGAN, Mich., Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Perrigo Company (Nasdaq: PRGO; TASE) today announced that its infant formula division has gained FDA clearance to manufacture three new infant formula products. These new formulas are also compliant with the Codex Alimentarius Commission, established by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to set international food standards, guidelines and codes of practice to protect the health of consumers and ensuring fair trade practices globally. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120301/DE62255LOGO )Perrigo Nutritionals will be producing these FDA-cleared Codex Stage 1 milk-based infant formulas, Codex Stage 2 milk-based infant formula, and Codex Stage 2 milk-based infant formula with ethyl vanillin flavoring, in its ISO 9001:2008 certified infant formula facility in Vermont, U.S.A. Formerly owned by Wyeth and PBM Nutritionals, the facility has been producing infant formula for more than 25 years. Perrigo Nutritionals is the largest supplier of store brand infant formula in the world and currently supplies formulas to customers in 23 countries. Perrigo Chairman, President and CEO Joseph C. Papa stated, "Perrigo Nutritionals will be producing these three Codex formulas for existing customers and intends to sell them to future customers in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. Many international markets are requesting that infant formulas imported into their countries be cleared for the United States market by FDA and sold in the countries where they are manufactured. Our formulas have been nourishing millions of infants around the world and we are pleased to meet this emerging need with these three new Codex infant formulas." From its beginnings as a packager of generic home remedies in 1887, Allegan, Michigan-based Perrigo Company has grown to become a leading global provider of quality, affordable healthcare products. Perrigo develops, manufactures and distributes over-the-counter (OTC) and generic prescription (Rx) pharmaceuticals, infant formulas, nutritional products, dietary supplements and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API).

An accident at a church construction site has sent one worker to the hospital.
Martin County authorities say the accident happened around 1:00 p.m. at the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church in Hassell. The church is on Highway 142.
A captain with the Hamilton Fire Department tells WITN News that the crew was working inside the new church when the walls started to shake. A worker who was on top of one of the roof trusses jumped down and then the trusses fell on him. Co-workers were able to pull that person from the debris.
The fire captain says that man suffered non-life threatening injuries.
The new church, which is located behind the existing church, was framed up, but its roof had not been put on yet.
Previous Story
Martin County authorities say they are at a scene of a structural collapse at a church near Hamilton.
Initial reports said there were multiple injuries at the church on Highway 142, that's just off Highway 125 outside of Hamilton.
Rescue crews are on the scene and WITN has crews en route.

Self Taught MBA: Empowering Homeowners at ArmchairBuilder.comcomments (1) November 13th, 2012 in Blogs
There are two obstacles for the do-it-yourselfer: tools and know-how. The home-improvement center has made most tools available and inexpensive books and magazines provide how-to advice. But for the bigger projects, from a room addition to home building, a few tools and books won't suffice. Nonetheless, many homeowners would prefer to save money and enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes from acting as contractor and craftsman. A few builders have tried to mine this niche for a business opportunity, providing inexperienced do-it-yourselfers with expert advice. Most notably, the UBuildIt franchise promises local expertise and a little project management, holding your hand while pointing the way along the construction process for a fee ranging from 4% to 10%. I don't know how successful they are, given that many contractors assume full responsibility and do the whole job for about the same.
Recently, I found another approach to serving the DIY niche with expertise. This one provides expertise online and for free. Michael Luckado, a builder with 17 years on the front lines, created ArmchairBuilder.com to help owner-builders "save money and avoid the hassles that sometimes plague our industry," Luckado told me by email. Unlike UBuildIt, which charges a fee and boasts local connections, Luckado's web-based business makes money by offering advertising space. "We work with sponsors and relevant partnerships. We also sell products through our ESTORE," said Luckado. Those products are forms, such as a package of trade-by-trade scope of worksheets, bid sheets, budget sheets, and guides, such as "Build a New Home Process Overview" ($7.99) and "Troubleshooting Guide for Homes" ($14.99), just in case you make a mistake.
Luckado, who earned an MBA as well as degrees in engineering, project management, bases his approach to guiding homeowners on his experience as both a troubleshooter in the warranty department of a national homebuilder, and eventually as an executive in charge of hiring and training new employees. As he explains it, "Many of our eager employee candidates didn't necessarily come in with true construction experience. The good news was that throughout my career, I had created and refined systems and procedures to help get new employees up to speed quickly. The idea being, with the proper checklists and procedures, any bright, hardworking person can build a quality home."
On his website, Luckado provides help through blogs and videos for small and large DIY projects, such as installing a glass-tile backsplash or replacing a roof. On larger projects, such as whole-house construction, he recommends that homeowners hire out as much of the work as possible, acting as general contractors to save time and money, and picking only a few projects to handle personally. "I think homeowners can get the best price and outcome by choosing which projects they would like to do themselves either because of the savings or just because they like doing it and have the skills," said Luckado.
Based in Hawaii, ArmchairBuilder.com has a following throughout the United States, Canada and England. "The UK has a major push to get people to build their own home. They are coming up with ways to make it easier for people to tackle the home-building process, as it was in the old days. Hopefully the U.S. will see how successful this is and follow their lead," Luckado said. He no longer takes on projects personally. "We will give guidance, but we don't take on specific local projects," Luckado said. "We are too busy at the moment creating content for ArmchairBuilder.com. Our philosophy is that through the Internet, we can help thousands (or hopefully hundreds of thousands) of people versus just a handful working one-on-one."
ArmchairBuilder.com launched in August of last year, so it's impossible to know now just how successful the business model will prove, but the concept lines up with a trend toward consumer empowerment that has already altered the fields of financial investment, medicine, law, and real estate. In Luckado's view, "There is a huge need for good-quality, trustworthy information about building, remodeling, and repairing homes. The building business doesn't have the best reputation. Our goal is to provide good information so people can save money and get exactly what they want without unnecessary hassles. So, yes, I think this business model has huge potential to help people, and if we can accomplish that, we have a business."

This does not hurt my feelings one bit. I was doing cartwheels at the announcement of the USGP in Austin. I would love to see a second GP here but hey... I'm selfish like that. There are so many wonderful tracks here that could easily be brought to F1 standards if they aren't already. But another street circuit? In Jersey? Nah... I'm good. Then again I could certainly think of a few in the current roster that we could live without as well. Ahem... Bahrain!

This is the post where I announce the winners from the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway day. Slight problem, though. We're house sitting at a friend's, and the only computer I have access to has all sorts of parental blocks and controls on it (apparently, this blog of mine might be a bit too racy for the under 18 crowd.) Of course, I could just call my friend, ask for the secret code and get on with it, but she's in the middle of the wilderness, trying to get away from it all. It'd be rude of me to entice her back to her technology. So, please be patient, and I'll announce winners tomorrow afternoon, when I get back to civilization!

FOR RELEASE: November 7, 2012
CONTACT: Stephanie Niedringhaus, 202-347-9797 x224, firstname.lastname@example.com [1]
Washington DC: NETWORK, A National Catholic Social Justice lobby, today issued the following statement regarding yesterday's election:
First of all, we warmly congratulate President Obama and Vice President Biden, who will now spend four more years serving our nation at a time of both need and hope for the future. We plan to stand with this administration in supporting the continuation and strengthening of the Affordable Care Act, one of the most important laws passed in our nation's history. And we will mobilize our members to move forward with a common agenda of fairness and justice for all.
As our "Nuns on the Bus" traveled throughout the country in recent months, we have been struck time and again by the resilience of so many people dealing with economic hardship. We have also seen the hunger of our entire nation for messages of hope, along with the belief that we can work together to create our future. We are confident that the administration will respond to that hunger as we move forward together.
We also want to express our appreciation to all the newly elected Members of Congress and returning incumbents who will stand with the people by actively supporting legislation rooted in justice. We are once again hopeful that comprehensive immigration reform can be achieved, and we plan to do everything possible to ensure that it happens. We will also focus the efforts of thousands of our members on communicating the need for a fair and compassionate federal budget.
One of the most hopeful effects of yesterday's election is that so many communities are becoming visibly stronger in our richly diverse nation. The voices of large numbers of women, African Americans, Hispanic communities, and many other groups were heard loud and clear at the polls. We the People – ALL the People – are now more powerful than ever before.
We are praying today that concern for the good of our nation will overtake the polarized politics that recently drowned Capitol Hill in darkness and ineffectiveness. Our president and Congress have a new opportunity to

A Brief History of Muskie in Iowa When and Where to Fish Angling Techniques Tackle Selection Lure Selection Bait Selection Catch and Release
Fishing for Muskie
By Terry Jennings, Fish Hatcheries Supervisor, Iowa DNR
A Brief History of Muskie in Iowa
Throughout fishing history the muskellunge has been a trophy fish that is highly prized by any fisherman that is fortunate enough to land one. This species is native to many of the upper midwestern states and the central Canadian provinces. Until the 1960's muskie had been reported from only a few scattered locations around Iowa. At that time the decision was made by the Commission that muskellunge would make a positive contribution to angling in this state and had a high potential as a trophy fish for our fishermen, although it was realized that it would never become a "bread and butter" fish like catfish or crappie.
In 1960, 80 muskies, about 10-inches in length, were released into Clear Lake and West Lake Okoboji from the Decorah Trout Hatchery, where they had been reared from fry. Since that initial stocking muskie have been stocked in Spirit Lake, Big Creek Lake, and Rathbun Reservoir. They also inhabit East Lake Okoboji because of its common waters with the west lake.
Tiger muskie, which is a cultured hybridization of the female northern pike and male muskellunge, were initially introduced into Iowa waters in 1978. Because these fish are crossbred, they are sterile and incapable of reproducing. Yet the cultured offspring exhibits extraordinary hybrid vigor and grows much more rapidly than either parent, reaching trophy class size in a very short span of time. They are also more easily caught than purebred muskie. All of these attributes make this hybrid very desirable for stocking a trophy fish into waters that do not have the habitat conducive to the purebreds. Tiger muskie have been released in more than 20 Iowa man-made lakes and reservoirs. In water stocked with tiger muskie the rate is one fingerling fish for each 4 acres of surface area. A list of lakes that contain muskie and tiger muskie can be obtained at any Commission office.
When and Where to Fish
Like all species of fish certain periods of the year are more productive than others for fishing. The basis for this fact is that fish, particularly the predatory species, are more active during different seasons, and increased activity usually improves fishing success. Experience has shown that muskie and tiger muskie are most likely caught when the water temperature nears 70 degrees F. In the northern part of the state this usually coincides with late June or early July and again in late September or early October. Water temperature in the southern part of the state is at this level about two weeks earlier in the spring and about the same in autumn.
The best time of the day to fish, when muskie are most active, is in the early morning between daybreak and 1 1/2 hours after sunrise and in the late evening between one hour before sunset and darkness. Keep in mind that these time periods are usually the most productive. This is not to say that muskie can not be caught in other periods of the year or hours of the day. If for some reason you can not fish during the best periods but still want to catch a trophy muskie -- go fishing.
Now that the lake and time of year to go muskie hunting has been selected, the next consideration is to determine what locations in the lake are most likely to contain fish. Muskie are not scattered at random in a lake, and only the best habitats will contain the fish. In fact, poor habitat probably contains no muskie at all. Prior to arriving to fish, the best suggestion is to obtain a topographic map which will locate water depths and indicate the location of different types of bottom structure. Study the map, looking especially for 8 to 20 foot contours near drop-offs. This depth is most likely to have submergent vegetation beds, particularly in the natural lakes. Most muskie fishermen theorize that the fish spend much of their time in deep water but move into shallow, weedy areas to forage. Thus, the chances of catching a muskie are greatest.
If possible, before you wet a line, thoroughly scout the lake with a depth finder to sound out sites that you have targeted on the map as most promising. Reconnaissance of a lake prior to fishing will also reveal at what depth the weedline occurs, and you will want to spend most of your time fishing along the vegetation beds, especially in natural lakes. This activity will also allow you to look for irregular points of vegetaton that extend out into the lake. Pay particular attention to places where the weeds come within 5 or 6 feet of the water surface. If you locate a large weed-free hole within the mass of vegetation -- mark it for fishing. All of these sites are excellent places to begin your quest for a trophy muskie or tiger muskie.
Most of the tiger muskie fishing occurs in man-made lakes. Weedy areas in the lake will also hold fish, but do not ignore brushy structures that extend into the lake from the shoreline or that were inundated when the lake was flooded. Sharp drop-offs adjacent to deep water will contain tiger muskie. Rock rip-rap armoring along the dam face or prominent land points are also productive locations for these fish. In general, look for locations where you might catch largemouth bass; chances are good that it will also hold tiger muskies.
Water clarity varies markedly in our man-made lakes between individual lakes and within seasons. Keep this in mind when deciding where to fish for tiger muskie. As a rule you should fish the shallower waters as they become more turbid. Muskies are rather secretive and reclusive in their behavior and they infrequently inhabit waters where they will be visible.
Angling Techniques
There are two methods most often used to fish for muskie -- trolling and casting. Among the muskie fishing fraternity there seems to be no clear cut consensus of opinion as to which method may be superior. Both have distinct advantages and disadvantages. The best recommendation is probably to do what you feel most confident and comfortable with -- or use both.
While a muskie fisherman can cover much more area and put the lure near more fish by trolling, the precision of lure or bait presentation is considerably less with this method. Muskies follow most lures before they strike, and it is nearly impossible to see what follows and take enticing actions while trolling. Fish that are following a lure that has been cast are easily detected, and once located, they can be fished for in subsequent trips as well.
The main disadvantage of casting for muskie mainly is that it is hard work and tiring; muskie have been called the fish of ten thousand casts. Anyone that has fished for these trophies will quickly verify that truer words were never uttered.
Tackle Selection
Fishing tackle and equipment used for muskie are some of the most specialized available for angling, mostly because of the size of this noble beast. Whether you troll or cast, the rod and reel that most muskie fishermen prefer is a heavy duty graphite model bait-casting rod, from 5 to 5 1/2 feet in length, fitted with a matched and balanced reel that has a star-drag brake. Graphite material is preferred over others because it is lighter in weight, a factor which causes less fatigue, and it is far more sensitive than other types of rods. If the cost is a concern, fiberglass is less expensive and will, of course, catch muskie. One of the better suggestions is to purchase a high quality reel -- muskies are fierce fighters and have been known to completely strip the gears of poorly made reels before getting away. The reel should have a retrieve ratio of at least 5:1, because the lure is usually retrieved as fast as the angler can crank.
Most muskie enthusiasts fill their reel with monofilament or braided dacron line of 20 to 40 pound-test. Color does not seem to be important. The line must be fitted with a solid steel leader with a sure-lock clasp. Leader length is an individual choice; some fishermen use 6-inch leaders while others swear by 18-inch leaders. A steel leader is essential because both muskie and tiger muskie have razor sharp teeth and many sharp bones around their mouth and jaws that can cut or fray the line while fighting.
Lure Selection
Lures for muskie fishing fall into three basic types -- crank-baits, spinner-baits and jerk-baits (see Chapter 15 for an example of these lures). There are many different models and colors available in most tackle shops and mail order houses that specialize in fishing equipment.
Crank-baits come in a wide variety, but all are fitted with a metal or plastic lip-spoon that causes them to dive to a depth of 10 or 12 feet during the retrieve. The lures are large, 7 to 10 inches in length, and weigh up to 2 1/2 ounces. Lure color is important, but no color is effective all the time. It is very important for an angler to know what the fish are consuming for forage and then use a lure color that resembles that prey.
Crank-baits are astonishingly easy for a novice muskie fisherman to learn proper presentation. They are equally effective for fishing by either trolling or casting. The method used in trolling is simply to locate the lure about 100 feet behind the boat at a speed of about 7 or 8 miles per hour, which will place the lure at about its maximum depth. Some fishermen adhere closely to the philosophy that you can troll too slowly for muskie -- but not too fast. Using a depth finder while trolling has definite advantages for locating submerged weed lines and then trolling just along the outside edge.
Crank-baits are equally simple lures to use for casting. The best technique is to find a likely spot, let the boat drift with the prevailing wind or move it slowly with an electric trolling motor, and cast the lure as far as possible using a steady retrieve, reeling as fast as you can.
One common trick of muskie anglers is at the end of a retrieve: before the lure is removed from the water, perform a "figure 8" motion with about 3 to 4 feet of line between the lure and the rod tip. Execute this motion at the end of all casts or trolling runs. Often muskies are caught right beside the boat after following the lure and striking only when there is a sudden change in the speed or direction of the lure.
Spinner-baits consist of a metal spinner, either in a single or tandem configuration, followed by a series of weights that are attached to either one or two treble hooks that are partially hidden with hair or soft plastic body dressings. They come in many colors and patterns.
The spinner acts as a fish attractor and is usually highly polished or finished in a fluorescent paint. The hook-hair portion of the lure serves as the body, and they are dyed in dull colors that simulate natural food items. Some fishermen attach soft plastic body dressings to spinner baits which add color and incease the action of the lure.
Spinner-baits are good lures for both trolling and casting. The method used for fishing with these lures is similar to those with crank-baits, except spinner-baits sink and the retrieve must be delayed for enough time to allow the lure to achieve the correct fishing depth. First-time muskie fishermen should make crank-baits and spinners their lures of choice. These lures are easy to use because a high degree of manual skill is not required to make the proper presentation to a fish.
Jerk-baits are constructed of wood and imitate a bait-fish that has been injured and is distressed. The name for them is derived from the method used in the retrieve. The lure floats on the surface until it is retrieved; then it dives sharply and darts side-to-side. Some jerk-baits have a metal tail that can be adjusted by bending it to change the action. Otherwise it is the fisherman that must supply a great deal of the erratic action. Jerk-baits come in a variety of colors and styles, but no pattern is superior at all times.
Since these lures do not dive as deeply as crank-baits, they are best for fishing shallow water, especially over submerged vegetation or other structures that are near the surface. They are usually fished in 6 to 8 feet of depth. These lures are used only by casting. A cast is made as far as possible, while the retrieve is made in a rapid fashion, jerking the lure in a zig-zag motion. It is a very physical and tiring way to fish and not one for a novice.
Bait Selection
In some localities, in the traditional northern muskie range, live bait, particularly large suckers, are used for muskie fishing. However, in Iowa live bait is seldom the choice, and for this reason the method is not included in this article.
Catch and Release
Muskie are not, nor will they ever be, an abundant game fish in this state. Avid muskie fishermen, those individuals that fish regularly for these trophies, realize this fact. They are also very aware that true trophy fish, those exceeding 30 pounds in size, are even more rare. For this reason most muskie fishermen are staunch advocates of a fish-for-fun philosophy and release unharmed the fish that they catch, except for exceptionally large specimens. One muskie fishing club recently reported with pride that of the 150 muskies that fish club members landed in one season, 148 were released.

AOPA Pilot staff
In a recent survey, eight of the top 10 AOPA member concerns regarding general aviation were issues relating to government entities. The number-one concern among AOPA members is the closure of general aviation airports. While the rate of airport closures is slowing, each field plays an important part in the nation's aviation infrastructure. The possibility of federal user fees, taxes and user fees at the state level, the quality and availability of air traffic services, and airspace restrictions are just a few of the other member concerns that are impacted by governments. Whether it's Washington, D.C., or Wellington, Kansas, governments and their actions affect how, where, and when we can fly.
In that same survey, nearly two out of three members rated the political environment for general aviation as "not so good." One in three called it "good" and just 1 percent ranked it "excellent."
Airport issues for the most part have their roots at the local level, which is the reason that AOPA launched its Airport Support Network in 1998. Today, some 1,700 volunteers around the country act as local eyes and ears, alerting AOPA headquarters staff to issues that could jeopardize an airport.
53 percent of AOPA members surveyed said they believe Congress views general aviation negatively.
Andy Cebula, AOPA's senior vice president of government and technical affairs, reports that land use is a significant issue facing airports — such as improper zoning that allows residential communities to creep up to airport perimeters. Such zoning then leads to the next most common problem — noise. Finally, a newer issue has become more prevalent in the past few years: local community ballot issues. In these cases, local communities, usually out of ignorance about the importance of their local airports, attempt to pass ordinances that close the airports or restrict general aviation and the businesses that support it. For example, at Concord, California's Buchanan Field, which is located on some of the nation's most desirable and expensive real estate, a lone county supervisor carrying the water for a single real estate developer has proposed closing one of the nation's premier general aviation airports. It has taken the unified efforts of AOPA, local pilot groups, Concord's business community, and unprecedented bipartisan congressional support to shore up FAA's opposition to closing the airport.
Similarly, across the country near Tampa, the community surrounding Albert Whitted Airport attempted to pass local laws that would have closed the airport, turning half of it into a park and building high-rise apartments on the other half. AOPA and its Airport Support Network volunteer for the airport weighed in and ultimately won as the community voted to keep the airport open in perpetuity.
At Horace William Airport in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the threat was internal as the University of North Carolina sought to close its airport in favor of other development. Here it took AOPA working not only with local pilots but also the school's own medical emergency flight squad to convince state lawmakers to pass special legislation preventing the airport's closing.
A rift in the general aviation family is the newest phenomena affecting general aviation airport operations. Some larger general aviation facilities have decided they would rather exclusively serve turbine corporate operators — to the detriment of lighter airplanes. At locations such as Van Nuys, Santa Monica, and Palomar, California; Teterboro, New Jersey; and Stuart, Florida, piston-powered airplanes are being given the cold shoulder while the fixed-base operators roll out the red carpet for the jet set. Expansive new ramps and facilities for jets leave no room for light airplanes. AOPA, with support from the FAA, often has to remind airport operators about the fair and equal access requirements for publicly funded airports. At Van Nuys, the community finally recognized the value of general aviation and is setting aside parts of the airport just for light airplanes.
While airport issues tend to be local, the FAA, as the ultimate holder of the purse strings for airport improvements, holds much sway at least when it comes to airports that accept federal funding, as most public-use airports do.
"There is an increasing gap between the operating costs of the FAA, our capital needs, our funding for airports, and trust fund revenue," says FAA Administrator Marion Blakey.
But, like many government entities, the FAA is facing a funding challenge of its own. While general aviation supports FAA operations through the federal excise tax we pay on fuel, the airlines primarily support the system through a tax on tickets passed on to the consumer. With the rock-bottom airline ticket prices of the past few years, the revenue from the ticket tax has plummeted. As a result, revenue flowing into the aviation trust fund — which is used to fund the majority of FAA operations and capital improvements — has not grown at projected levels at the same time the agency is attempting to modernize and improve its services.
In an exclusive interview with AOPA Pilot for this article, FAA Administrator Marion Blakey made it clear that a change in funding must occur. "There is an increasing gap between the operating costs of the FAA, our capital needs, our funding for airports, and trust fund revenue," said the administrator. "The way the trust fund is set up, of course, it relies very heavily on ticket taxes, and as time has gone on and the price of a ticket has fallen, which is a great benefit to consumers, it obviously has taken its toll on the aviation trust fund, and we think all of that has to be looked at now."
Noting that the current legislation outlining FAA funding expires in 2007, Blakey acknowledges that something must be done soon. "We all need to pull together to look at the way the system is funded now and determine if that is the best way going forward. Certainly we feel very strongly that it only makes sense to look at the actual costs of the system and to assure that there is a stable and responsible revenue stream coming to support those actual costs."
Acknowledging general aviation's role in funding the system, the administrator could not rule out a change. "As you know, the general aviation community provides support to the aviation trust fund through fuel taxes, as do other parts of the aviation community, and I think we have to look at it and see if that is the best way to support the services that are being required."
"We have thousands of small airports all around the country. I don't think that sealing these off, putting fences around them, and mandating extreme security measures are the solution," says chairman of the House aviation subcommittee Rep. John Mica.
Blakey in the past has said that pilots should not be charged user fees to access the flight service system, but the possibility of user fees for other air traffic services is a threat that AOPA continually works against. (See " AOPA Action: AOPA Prepares for Battle Over User Fees," page 16.) AOPA worked closely with the FAA to assure that FSS modernization would include metrics that promise performance standards. In a study completed early this year, the FAA determined that the best way to lower costs and improve service in the flight service system was to outsource it to a private company. Lockheed Martin won the contract and during the next year or so will be consolidating today's 58 stations in the Lower 48 states down to about 20 while it also installs modern systems that will allow pilots and briefers to share information over the Internet. The change in FSS operations could save some $2.2 billion over the next decade.
AOPA is also working with the FAA to help it reduce expenses in other ways, such as decommissioning underutilized ground-based navaids and looking at the feasibility of closing some control towers at night when traffic is low. "I'll say this, AOPA has been a good partner and very supportive of understanding that we absolutely have to bring the FAA's costs under control," said Blakey.
Concerns about funding the FAA are not confined to Blakey's office at 800 Independence Avenue. Up on Capitol Hill, Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.), who is chairman of the House aviation subcommittee, worries about that issue too. Like Blakey, he is looking for other ways to fund the agency. No one wants to say "user fees," but the threat of such fees is very much alive.
"In general aviation we really have to look at how we finance both the infrastructure and the services provided to GA. Some of our financing may be out of date," said Mica during a recent interview with AOPA Pilot. "One of the things we want to do is to make sure those who use these systems and facilities help pay for them. We also have to balance that with our federal requirements to have a sound aviation system as opposed to individual pieces. It's a dual responsibility. In an era of tight budgets as we've seen, with huge record deficits, we've got to look at who pays for what and how it is paid for. We need to modernize those fee systems...and pinch our pennies, but not to the detriment of safety or to the defiance of a good American aviation system.
"We have basically a user-financed system and we're going to have to continue that. Do I see the federal government taking on a larger share — probably not. Again, given the tremendous budget pressure we're under here in Washington."
Both Blakey and Mica agree that investments in technology, such as the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), will make the air traffic system more efficient, improve access, and potentially improve safety. But it comes at a cost, reminds the FAA administrator.
"I think the general aviation community should take stock of the fact that the satellite-based Wide Area Augmentation System is the most costly of the FAA's capital investments," said Blakey. "It's been a huge investment on the taxpayers' part that will, we believe, provide very substantial benefits to the general aviation community. Obviously we want to see that investment through so that in fact the approaches are out there and everyone is able to use those procedures well. We think it has huge safety benefits, as well as obviously access for pilots all over the country. So we believe Congress will continue to support it and we will certainly continue to see that investment through."
"We've got to assist in this transition and help people get to the new technology and make certain we stay on this course together," said Mica. "The transition is difficult. It can be costly for some in the short term. In the long term it makes a lot of sense. We have to stay on course for those changes."
Meanwhile, another threat to general aviation is overburdening it with unnecessary security regulations. Some have advocated for airline-level security for all general aviation airports — despite the fact that even the security agencies have said that general aviation airports do not need that level of security. Mica agrees. "We have thousands of small airports all around the country. I don't think that sealing these off, putting fences around them, and mandating extreme security measures are the solution," said the chairman. "I think everyone knows that you can probably load in an SUV or a U-Haul a much more dangerous quantity of explosives or biological or dangerous materials than you can in a small aircraft. We've got to look at a risk-based system, spend our money where it makes the most sense. We can't close off general and civil aviation in this country. We've got to focus back on what President Bush says. We've got to be able to go after terrorists and people who pose a threat. Let the rest of the country go about its normal way of life and let us continue to exercise our freedoms to fly, freedoms to get around our great country without becoming captives of terrorist threats. It's a risk-based system — a balanced system that we should see."
Despite the threat of closed airports, user fees, and a funding crisis, general aviation has seen growth in the past few years. Some of that growth can be attributed to accelerated-depreciation regulations that have allowed those who use aircraft for business purposes to write off an aircraft purchase expense over a much shorter period of time than they normally can. Under current law, the accelerated depreciation is available only on aircraft ordered before the end of 2004 and placed into service by the end of 2005. Some in the industry believe it should be extended — including Mica.
"I supported the accelerated depreciation. We should look at extension and expansion of some of those tax benefits," said Mica. "The U.S. isn't competing in a vacuum anymore. We've lost large segments of our aviation manufacturing capacity when we've had excessive liability, excessive taxation, excessive regulation. So we've got to look at the setting, the global market we're competing in. I strongly support any incentive we can provide to the manufacturing industry, and we'll continue to do that in the subcommittee and work to get the attention of other committees and jurisdictions in the Congress."
More than 90 percent of AOPA members surveyed said they voted in the most recent elections.
General aviation manufacturers say that nuisance liability lawsuits and the associated high products liability insurance costs have stifled their business. The General Aviation Revitalization Act of 1994 set an 18-year statute of repose on general aviation manufacturers. Such efforts to limit the liability of manufacturers did spur manufacturing and increase employment, but high liability awards and nuisance lawsuits persist. Mica and others involved in aviation would like to see that change. "We've got to do an even better job on all of these areas of tort and liability reform," said Mica. "Even in health care, which we hope to tackle also, we've seen dramatic increases for the costs of those individuals trying to find health coverage — those small businesses, and many people in aviation are small-business people. Cutting back on the benefits of health care is becoming routine. Part of the huge increase is because of liability.... I think we can help the industry across the board by some very significant and continued liability reform."
"This is one of the fastest major transitions that the aviation industry has accepted," says Dan Schwinn, president of Avidyne. "I thought it would take north of five years."
"General aviation is in a good and healthy place. Obviously 9/11 rocked us all back on our heels. And general aviation still has progress to make in terms of overall volume in traffic these days, but it's definitely coming back and that's a very exciting thing," said Blakey.
While general aviation faces numerous threats, there is encouraging news on the safety front, which Blakey is quick to acknowledge: "The terrific fact that I don't think is as recognized by the public as it should be is that we are in the safest period in aviation history, and that is across the board from commercial aviation right through the general aviation community. We have a great deal to be proud of," reminded Blakey. "That said, of course, we want to continue to drive that accident rate down and certainly drive down the number of fatalities. And I'm glad that we partner with AOPA and the [Air] Safety Foundation because there are areas that we can improve as well. One of the terrific areas that AOPA has made great strides on is runway incursions and the kinds of education campaign that you have mounted. That has been very important and I think it has contributed substantially, as has work on CFIT [controlled flight into terrain] accidents, as has work on aeronautical decision making, weather. So there are a number of areas that we are working on in partnership with the general aviation joint steering committee and AOPA's safety foundation. And again we've got some work in front of us and there's more to be done, but we need to stay on it and recognize that we're making great progress."
From Blakey's view at FAA headquarters, general aviation is well positioned to grow and thrive, despite current difficulties. "General aviation is in a good and healthy place. Obviously 9/11 rocked us all back on our heels. And general aviation still has progress to make in terms of overall volume in traffic these days, but it's definitely coming back and that's a very exciting thing," said Blakey. "Another thing that I think is exciting is the technology that is coming into play for the general aviation pilot. Not only the safety technologies that can be very helpful in the cockpit, but also GPS and the ability to now use the Wide Area Augmentation System — we want to see the GA community move robustly into using that because it's a huge asset and advantage. And then, of course, new aircraft are coming into play — the microjets that some parts of the general aviation community are going to begin to take advantage of potentially as early as the end of next year. So there are exciting developments for GA that I think in the long run are going to change the face of it and all for the better."

Assessing College Teaching and Learning: A Message From the Editors
Wentzell, G. W., Richlin, L., & Cox. M. D.
Assessment, or the evaluation of educational methods and outcomes with the goal of improving practice, plays a key role in the learning-centered paradigm of 21st-century higher education. In her book Assessing Student Learning: A Common Sense Guide (2004), Linda Suskie points out several benefits and beneficiaries of assessment. Students benefit because they understand better their strengths and weaknesses and thereby can work to improve their prospects in school or the professional world. Faculty benefit because assessment allows them to focus on teaching objectives and outcomes and to offer concrete evidence for the quality of their teaching. Administrators benefit because assessment can document the effectiveness of courses, programs, or the institution itself and help them make better-informed decisions. In short, assessment provides the feedback faculty and institutions need to improve teaching and learning.
Cultural Barriers to Change in Assessment Practices in Higher Education
Jenkins, D. B.
The culture at the authors' institution raised barriers to changing from traditional assessment to portfolio assessment in the doctoral program. A Culture of Independence presented barriers of time and functional inadequacy. A Culture of Compliance raised trust, group process, and membership issues. These barriers were managed and overcome using appropriate group-process strategies, thus moving the institutional culture toward collaboration and innovation. The author emphasizes the importance of attending to the higher education culture if programmatic or structural change is to endure.
Defining Intellectual Safety in the College Classroom
Call, C. M.
The author investigated college students' perceptions of intellectual safety by posing research questions designed to elicit a definition of intellectual safety and the elements needed to create an intellectually safe environment. Participants included undergraduate and graduate students drawn from three institutions. All students filled out a questionnaire designed for the study, with what they perceived to be an intellectually safe or threatening environment providing the basis for a definition of intellectual safety. Implications for education are presented, including an emphasis on relationships in the classroom and instructors' self-reflective practices. The author concludes that further study of this topic with a more diverse sample is warranted.
Uncovering Students' Perceptions of Rubrics
Saam, J., Sorgman, M., & Calhoon, S. K.
Research regarding rubrics in K-12 classrooms and in higher education has focused on teachers' perceptions and use of them. Rubrics have been found to objectify subjective assignments, ensure accountability, and improve student understanding of teacher expectations (Andrade, 2000; Hall & Salmon, 2003; Walvoord & Anderson, 1998). This study focuses on students' perceptions of a rubric and its use. After surveying students in an elementary social studies and science methods course, the authors found that, when they compared it to other elements of the course, students perceived the rubric as being most beneficial in helping them to complete course assignments successfully. More than half of the students gave the rubric the highest rating, and most students perceived the rubric as empowering.
Midterm Student Feedback: Results of a Pilot Study
Snooks, M. K., Neeley, S. E., & Revere, L.
The authors investigated the effect of midterm student feedback on final ratings of college teaching and courses. Five classes including 142 students participated in pre- and posttests with the intervention of a midterm group feedback process known in the literature as Bare Bones Questions (or BBQ). Three of the four hypotheses tested were supported. Students reported increases in both their learning and satisfaction, and their ratings of both instructors and courses increased. This research expands current knowledge by demonstrating quantitatively that midterm student feedback is likely to have a positive effect on students' evaluations and is a beneficial addition to other types of evaluations of teaching performance.
Are We Just Giving Credit for Time Served? Assessment and Reflection in Service-Learning Courses
Messineo, M.
The author discusses findings from a content analysis of a national sample of 127 service-learning course syllabi to illustrate assessment strategies. Although the results demonstrate the influence of Campus Compact's recommendation to use reflective assessment in service-learning courses, the use of reflection in the syllabi varies widely. Approximately one third of the syllabi use the "grade-credit-for-service-hours" approach that is less-favored by Campus Compact. The author presents and discusses a number of elements tied to assessment. She makes recommendations for improving service-learning courses.
Lessons Learned in The Faculty Room
Burgstahler, S.
A collaboration of postsecondary institutions nationwide undertook a project to apply research in developing methods and materials to help instructors more fully include students with disabilities in their courses. These institutions conducted a needs assessment; developed content and delivery modes; undertook a rigorous formative evaluation; delivered professional development presentations to faculty, administrators, and teaching assistants; and evaluated results. Participants reported that, as a result of the presentations, they were better able to find resources on their campuses to accommodate students with disabilities, they gained knowledge about legal obligations, and they learned specific teaching strategies and accommodations that benefit students with different types of disabilities. The author shares lessons learned from this project that can be applied on any postsecondary campus to improve teaching and assessment.
Teaching Project-Based Assessment in 12 Days in a Developing Country
Hargis, J.
Through a partnership between the University of North Florida (UNF) and the University of Belize (UB), faculty members from UNF taught a graduate course on Assessment and Measurement at UB to train in-service teachers and principals in the area of educational leadership. Two classes totalling 71 graduate students were taught during a three-week period that included four hours of instruction four times a week. The author presents a project-based learning (PrjBL) approach to teaching assessment at the graduate level in a highly diverse, multicultural setting, in a limited amount of time, with minimal resources, and under less than ideal conditions. The author introduces PrjBL, provides a review of the literature, shares an instructional approach, and provides survey data on students' perceptions of PrjBL. Finally, he describes one student case study of the culminating PrjBL project that encompasses test-building techniques, data collection, data manipulation, reliability coefficients, and interpretation of results.

Standardized Assays Are Driving Preemptive Genotyping...
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation said today it will spend up to $58 million over six years to expand its drug development with Pfizer to hasten development of drugs for the most common mutation associated with the disease, Delta F508.
The collaboration's goal is to advance one or more drug candidates into the clinic to start clinical trials by the end of the six-year effort. The drug candidate or candidates will be designed to help restore normal function of a defective protein in people with the Delta F508 mutation.
In people with Delta F508, CFTR does not fold correctly and is unable to reach the cell surface, where it is needed to help maintain the proper flow of salt and fluids into the airways. Thick secretions form in the airways, leading to serious lung infections and lung damage. About 90% of people with CF have at least one copy of Delta F508.
Pfizer's pipeline has no cystic fibrosis drug candidates at present. However, the pharma giant is set to benefit from the collaboration through development and commercialization milestone payments. "Pfizer brings impressive technical and scientific expertise, along with its commitment to improving the lives of people with cystic fibrosis," Robert J. Beall, Ph.D., president and CEO of the CF Foundation, said in a statement.
Dr. Beall told Xconomy that if Pfizer decides not to pursue development of any molecule it discovers, the foundation can walk away from the collaboration, taking with it the drug candidate.
Pfizer and the foundation announced last December they would continue the CF research collaboration launched in 2007 by the nonprofit group and FoldRx Pharmaceuticals, at a value back then of up to $22 million. Three years later, Pfizer acquired FoldRx, buying with the company its yeast-based, high-throughput screening platform designed to detect new compounds that could improve the function of a misfolded CFTR protein.
The foundation has successfully collaborated with other drug developers. With Vertex Pharmaceuticals, the foundation persuaded FDA in January to approve ivacaftor (Kalydeco), the first drug for the genetic cause of a rare form of CF. The nonprofit also maintains a partnership with Sanofi's Genzyme subsidiary, and overall is actively supporting nearly 30 potential new treatments.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

The Daily Agenda for Tuesday, October 2
Jim Burroway
October 2nd, 2012
Baltimore Police Arrest 162 in Bar Raid: 1955. At 200 N. Gay Street — an appropriate address if there ever was one — stood the Pepper Hill Club, a nightclub popular with gay people. Because of its reputation, the Pepper Hill Club quickly became a target for the city's vice squad. At 11:00 p.m., Lt.Byrne and officer Edgar Kirby stopped in to check on the club, looked around, then left. Less than an hour later, police descended on the club and arrested all 162 patrons, employees and owners for "lewd behavior," which consisted of male couples hugging, dancing and kissing. "We were met by a human wall," Sgt. Hyman Goldstein later testified. "We found complete disorder, and in the rear of the place there was no light at all. Back there we found several couples." He also testified that most of those arrested were from Washington. "We have received word that Washington police are conducting a drive on homosexuals; apparently some of them are coming to Baltimore for their entertainment."
The raid, which was billed as "the largest night club raid ever conducted in Baltimore," took place in direct contravention of police policy. Just a few weeks earlier, police had conducted a mass raid at a straight nightclub, and outrage over that raid led police commissioner James Hepbron to ban mass raids. And so when the courts acquitted nearly everyone in the Pepper Hill case — only five were convicted of disorderly conduct — Circuit Judge James K. Cullen sharply reprimanded the police department for the mass arrests. Commissioner Hepbron agreed with the judge and promised that it wouldn't happen again, saying that the department's policy against wholesale arrests would be "reiterated, re-emphasized and, if necessary, re-enforced." The following year, the state legislature passed what became known as the "Pepper Hill Law" which formally outlawed mass arrests during bar raids.
Federal Panel Urges Decriminalizing Homosexuality:1969. A fourteen-member panel of doctors, lawers, and social and behavioral scientists led by UCLA's Evelyn Hooker released a report urging the United States abolish all laws forbidding private same-sex relationships among consenting adults. The panel found, "Homosexuality presents a major problem for our society largely because of the amount of injustice and suffering entailed in it not only for the homosexual but also for those concerned about him."
About existing anti-gay laws on the books, the panel noted, "There is evidence to indicate that entrapment is not uncommon, that existing laws are selectively enforced, and that serious injustice often results." The report added, "Many homosexuals are good citizens, holding regular jobs and leading productive lives. The existence of legal penalties relating to homosexual acts means that the mental health problems of homosexuals are exacerbated by the need for concealment and the emotional stresses arising from this need and from the opprobrium of being in violation of the law."
At the time the report was issued, homosexuality was a criminal offense in every state except Illinois. Between 1971 and 1980, twenty-two more states would descriminalize homosexuality. But progress slowed with the onset of the AIDS hysteria, when only fifteen states and the District of Columbia removed their anti-homosexuality statutes from the books between 1981 and 2003, when Lawrence v. Texas finally struck down anti-gay laws nationwide.
Annie Leibovitz: 1949. "My mother and father took photographs and made eight-millimeter home movies when I was growing up, but I didn't start taking pictures myself until the late Sixties when I was studying at the San Francisco Art Institute," she explained in her 2006 monograph, A Photographer's Life: 1990-2005. She further developed her photography skills while on a kibbutz in Israel in 1969, When she returned to the U.S. in 1970, she became staff photographer for Rolling Stone, quickly rising to chief photographer from 1973 to 1983. While she is known as a portraiture artist, she took her favorite photos while doing reportage, particularly when she was concert-tour photographer for the Rolling Stones in 1975.
While she liked that work, her personal style of reportage was distinct from photo-journalism. "I'm not a journalist," she wrote. "A journalist doesn't take sides, and I don't want to go through life like that." Her point of view took her all over the world, including the Sarajevo siege in 1993 and the world's capitals to photograph kings, queens and celebrities. It's hard to pick one photo as a perfect example of her intimate style — the touching photos that she took of her lover Susan Sontag on her death bed are particularly poignant — but the most iconic photo perhaps is the 1980 portrait of John Lennon and Yoko Ono that appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone. It turned out that Leibovitz would be the last person to professionally photograph John Lennon on that fateful December day: Lennon was murdered five hours later outside his apartment building in New York City.
In 2001, Leibovitz became a mother for the first time at the age of 52, but the years following would prove to be difficult for her. She spent most of 2004 taking care of Sontag, who was dying of myelodysplastic syndrome which evolved into leukemia. Sontag died the following December. Leibovitz's father died six weeks later. Editing the photos for A Photographer's Life: 1990-2005 was an important part of her grieving process. "I would go into (her workshop) every morning and cry for ten minutes or so and then start working, editing the pictures. I cried for a month. I didn't realize until later how far the work on the book had taken me through the grieving process."
Her grieving wasn't over: her mother died in 2008, and in 2009 Leibovitz fell into serious financial difficulties. She borrowed $15.5 million, using the rights to all of her photographs as collateral. The New York Times< tried to figure out how an artist of such renown could be in such financial trouble. It cited several personal issues, including the recent loss of her father, mother, and Sontag, who died in 2004, and a costly renovation of her townhouses in Greenwich Village. Eventually she was able to negotiate her way through her financial problems and retain control of her work.
In 2011, she published her latest book Pilgrimage, which probably represents her most personal work to date, even though there are no people in the book. She began photographing the pictures for it while dealing with her financial struggles in 2009. She decided to go to places where she had no agenda, no assignment, no requirements from clients. Instead, she chose locations and subjects that meant something to her: Emily Dickinson's house, Niagara Falls, Sigmund Freud's couch. "I have a bit of a feeling that I've had it with people," she told The New York Times. "But you don't ever get away from people, really. And these are pictures of people to me. It's all we have left to represent them. I'm dealing with things that are going away, disappearing, crumbling. How do we hold on to stuff?"
