November 11, 2005
On Tuesday, voters decided to extend the penny sales tax to include another $160 million phase. But when can we expect to see some of the SPLOST projects actually started? News 12 explains why the city says everyone will be able to see progress from SPLOST right away.
It's been promoted as 'Pennies for Progress,' and while SPLOST V passed with an overwhelming majority, some voters who said no to SPLOST on Tuesday, and even some who said yes, are concerned about money from previous phases not being spent. But the city administrator told News that that money is being spent and new projects are underway.
"It's my job now to get that money spent and get those project built and on the ground and that's part of what I'm doing over the next several years is making sure I fulfill the promise that I made," Fred Russell said.
City Administrator Fred Russell says taxpayers can rest assured that money from the new SPLOST will be spent in a timely manner.
"Obviously you got to collect the dollar before you can spend them, but the planning processes are ongoing as we speak," Russell said.
He says projects building a new jail, new library, and judicial center are now underway. And says projects like renovating the Imperial Theatre, and building new fire stations are set to begin in the coming weeks.
"It's a very big gigantic puzzle that you have to put together to make sure the planning, dollars spending works out about the right time, so we'll be doing some meeting, next week talking about that," Russell said.
"This road has been torn up like this for 15 months," said John Cannon.
But John Cannon says he's concerned about incomplete SPLOST projects from previous phases, like construction where he lives along Warren Road. He says he was told construction would be complete more than a year ago.
"If they haven't used the other money to do this what do you think they are going to use the one money to do what they say they are going to do with that," Cannon said.
But Russell says that and other projects are now underway.
"The power company, Georgia Power, has got the poles down and they were down working on that last week," Russell said.

Thirteen months removed from his high school graduation, former Archbishop Mitty star Aaron Gordon is about to take part in basketball's version of a cap-and-gown ceremony.
He will be in New York on Thursday night to hear his name called in the NBA draft.
If the pundits are on target, the 6-foot-9 power forward should get chosen before the draft reaches double figures. Most have the 18-year-old going in the Nos. 6 to 8 range.
"I am kind of leaving it up to the unknown," Gordon told this newspaper last weekend. "I am going to go in there with no expectations, no prerequisites or anything like that. I am just going to go and enjoy it and really be in the moment."
Yahoo's mock draft has Gordon going sixth to Boston. USA Today and Fox slotted him eighth to Sacramento. The Los Angeles Times last week had Gordon going seventh to the Lakers.
Given that Gordon grew up idolizing Magic Johnson and once did a grade-school book report on the Lakers legend, he might have a Magic-sized smile if the Lakers take him.
"That would be incredible, man," Gordon said. "But just the fact that I am invited to the green room (on draft night) and get to be recognized in an elite group of individuals, it's going to mean a lot to me. Wherever I go or wherever I end up, I am going to do my best to stay true to who I am and be the best basketball player that I can be."
Gordon, the Pac-12's freshman of year while playing last season for Arizona, worked out for the Lakers (twice), Utah (twice), Sacramento, Boston and Orlando. Of those teams, Orlando has the highest pick at No. 4.
Most analysts praise Gordon's athleticism but note his shooting struggles, both from midrange and the free-throw line. Gordon shot just 42.2 percent on free throws last season and, according to draftexpress.com, 29.3 percent on jump shots.
"I had been playing at Mitty for four straight years and then to come and go to a different team and a different league, it was me feeling it out," Gordon said. "If I had more time to adjust, you would have seen the same Aaron Gordon. I was a little bit reluctant to shoot, but now there is no reluctancy. When I see the read, I make the read, and that's how my game is going to expand."
Gordon said he has done better in the predraft workouts.
"The consensus is I can shoot the ball a lot better than I have been given credit for," Gordon said. "But that's just in a few workouts, not in a game situation, so we'll see. But I have been working on my shot a lot."
Jabari Brown, an Oakland High product who played the past two seasons at Missouri after transferring from Oregon, is projected to go in the second round. The 6-5 shooting guard averaged 19.9 points per game last season.

Mary and Joseph lost their focus. We shouldn't be too harsh on them, I suppose. They were busy people, after all.
Following the shocking news of Mary's pregnancy, announced by an angel, the long trip to Bethlehem, and the stable-birth of their baby, they found themselves refugees in a foreign country, forced to flee for their lives in the middle of the night. Years later, things seemed to have settled down, as Mary and Joseph were able to move back to their hometown of Nazareth and raise their family. But, like most of us have experienced, life just seemed to get busier and busier. Mary had a very special child to care for (and, according to the Gospels, more children came later). Joseph had his carpentry business to tend to. There were bills to pay, children to feed, education to provide; there were family obligations, community obligations, and work obligations.
And so, 12 years after the birth of their miracle baby, Mary and Joseph seemed to have lost their focus. On their way back from their yearly Passover visit to Jerusalem, they lost track of Jesus. As they prepared to make camp that first night on their return journey, they looked and looked but couldn't find their son. They had assumed he had been walking with friends or relatives, but no one could remember seeing him that day.
Trying hard not to let panic take over, Mary and Joseph quickly retraced their steps all the way back to the big city. After searching for an entire day there, they finally found Jesus right where they had left him two days earlier: In the temple. Their initial joy at finding Jesus quickly gave way to anger, however. "How could you treat us this way?" Mary demanded. But Jesus respectfully but firmly turned the question around. "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" he asked.
Mary and Joseph had lost focus. They hadn't only lost sight of their firstborn, they lost sight of who he was and why he had come. They seemed to have forgotten that this adolescent was the Messiah, and that the angel had told them he came "to save his people from their sins."
What happened to Mary and Joseph happens to us. There are bills to pay, children to clothe and feed, appointments to keep and volunteer activities to see to. We make our busy-ness our business. And so we easily and frequently lose focus on what's important in life and why we're here. Worst of all, we take our eyes off our Savior, and lose track of him.
This new year, let's make a resolution not to let our busy lives distract us from our Father's business, and keep us from our Father's house. Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, look to the direction he gives us in his Word, remember the home in heaven he has prepared for us, and live to serve him and each other.
That's our business. That's our joy and our peace. That's our focus.
- Brent Merten is the pastor at Gracious Savior Lutheran Church in Eagle.

As for Set II, it's strong all the way through. Wolfman-lovers will want to pay particular attention to this thrilling version, which plays funny games with the song's chord progression, climaxes with some oxygen-deprivation psychedelia, and segues into the best Piper of 2009. Piper recalls the transcendent Light from this summer at the Gorge - high praise.
Disease dissipates just when it's achieving liftoff; typical '09 Disease in that regard. And this fine Bowie nonetheless does nothing to dispel the sense that the best Bowies mostly happened 15 years ago. But the set climaxes powerfully with Hood. We've had some interesting times with Harry Hood this year, and the Indio jam magically transforms into something new, reminiscent of the classic Jones Beach Hood from this summer yet possessed of its own unique energy. Following the song's recent trend, this Hood ends a little oddly, with a weirdly tentative approach to the closing chords in place of the trilling guitar heroics of old. But by that point you won't be complaining. The jam is just that good.
This will be a very, very good weekend.

Individual personal injury suits are accumulating against DuPont for health conditions that have been linked to C8 exposure.
More than two dozen area residents have filed cases against the Washington, W.Va., manufacturing plant since an independent three-member science panel released its final findings three months ago, showing a connection between C8 used by the plant and seven ailments, said Charleston, W. Va., attorney Kathy Brown.
"These men and women have compelling stories to tell about how C8 has hurt them," said Brown, who has filed 18 cases on behalf of Ohio clients and seven on behalf of West Virginians. Eleven of those cases involve Washington County residents.
The individual suits differ from the class action lawsuit filed against DuPont in 2001, which resulted in the formation of the C8 science panel to further research causality between the chemical and a long list of ailments, said Marietta attorney Ethan Vessels.
"Each case is tailored to its own facts. Pursuing individual suits gives us the best shot at the best results for each individual," he said.
Though DuPont settled the class action case in 2005, there was an understanding in place that individual civil suits would be put on hold until the science panel released definitive health-related findings, said Akron attorney Greg Collins, who is working with Vessels to represent area residents.
Fact Box
At a glance
More than two dozen personal injury suits have been filed against DuPont, the Washington, W.Va., manufacturing plant accused of allowing hazardous C8 to leak into area water supplies.
The six affected districts include Little Hocking, Belpre, Pomeroy, and Tuppers Plains in Ohio, as well as Lubeck Public Service District and Mason County Public Service District in West Virginia.
An independent three-member science panel released its final findings in October, linking the chemical to seven diseases: kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, high cholesterol, ulcerated colitis, preeclampsia and pregnancy-induced hypertension.
Anyone who lived or worked in one of the affected districts for more than a year prior to 2004 and has experienced one of the seven health conditions could potentially file a claim.
DuPont, which has said it will vigorously defend against the lawsuits, has filed a motion for all of the suits to be heard by a single judge, either in an Ohio or West Virginia federal court.
The science panel released its final report in October, ultimately saying there were probable links between the chemical and seven ailments: kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, high cholesterol, ulcerated colitis, preeclampsia and pregnancy-induced hypertension.
"There is no longer an issue as to whether C8 causes kidney cancer. That's established now," said Collins.
But that probable connection was not established five years ago, when Vincent resident Linda Davis, 64, was diagnosed with kidney cancer. At the time, it did not even cross her mind that her illness could be related to C8 contamination, she said.
"I was just so shocked that nothing really occurred to me," recalled Davis.
Davis, who has also suffered from thyroid disease for several years, has since had her right kidney removed and is coping with third stage kidney failure in her left.
For a while Davis saw a kidney specialist, but when her husband lost his job, Davis no longer had insurance and couldn't see her doctor.
"It's been hard. It's kind of messed up my whole life," she said.
It was not until she read the science panel's final report, linking C8 to specific ailments, that Davis even speculated there might be a connection, she said.
"When they finally announced the things that were caused by C8 and I had two or three of them, it dawned on me - well it must have some connection to me," said Davis.
Davis reached out to Brown for advice, and now her case is one of 26 personal injury lawsuits filed against DuPont, said Brown.
And personal injury claims do not show any signs of slowing down, said attorneys.
"It's more than we had anticipated," said Vessels, citing the interest shown by potential plaintiffs against DuPont.
Brown, who has been holding town hall meetings in the affected areas, noted that there is no way to anticipate the number of potential plaintiffs because of the time frame and scope of the C8 contamination.
C8, also known as perfluorooctanoic acid or PFOA, has been used by DuPont since the 1950s in the manufacturing of products such as Teflon, oil-resistant paper packaging, and protective finishes on carpets.
Prior to the installation of filtration systems in 2004, the chemical had contaminated six area water supplies, including Little Hocking, Belpre, Pomeroy and Tuppers Plains in Ohio, as well as Lubeck Public Service District and Mason County Public Service District in West Virginia, said Brown.
"If someone's family member died 10 years ago from kidney cancer, they potentially still have a claim," she noted.
Brown is already representing one client in a wrongful death suit. The client lost her husband to kidney cancer in 2008, she said.
DuPont spokesman Dan Turner said in a statement DuPont would "vigorously defend against any and all such lawsuits not based upon valid science."
"Lawsuits such as these ignore family history and lifestyle choices as a primary cause of health issues and disease in specific individuals," he said.
DuPont has also filed a motion to establish a multi litigation venue, which would mean all of the cases are heard by the same judge in a federal court either in Ohio or West Virginia. That decision will not be ruled on until March, said Brown.

I was talking to a guy in my group last week at Shane's Throwdown and he said the course should be done last Thursday.
Has anyone been there yet to see if it's done??
#1 - Blind tee shot, 250'ish. Lefty dream hyzer. Pin sits on side hill.
Great Starter Hole, tough green
#2 - Righty options are a "pure" shot straight at it or big anhyzer downhill with ob lining the whole right side. 300"ish
Nice straight shot, OB and hill create a small window to park the hole
3# - Straight forward about 400'
Throws over creek with OB on the right, nice guardian trees by pin
4# - 150' straight ahead (boring)
I thought so too, until I looked closer at the green. Stay on the green, the rough is very thick with a sever drop 5' into the shule.
5# - Uphill, very low ceiling and a little over 400'
Nice shot with some more guardian trees
6# - Nice hole. Bomb slightly down hill with ob all down the right side. Large tree about 300' off tee can make the second shot a little rougher. 550'ish.
One of the best holes on IMO, this hole makes you work your arm for 3
7# - Poke and hope dinker. about 200'. One branch cut would make this hole decent.
I don't think it's a poke and hope for the D. It is a great shot, easy deuce or easy 4. Great score spread hole.
8# - Dinker. No more than 200'. Very tight fairway and low ceiling.
It is short, but makes you work your disc. A little trimming and it's solid, too much trimming and it's easy.
9# - Just like hole 18 at Pickard with it going uphill to start and then tapers back. 500'ish. Spotters needed. Tall prairie grass and 15' cut out fairways.
Awesome Hole!!! Wider fairways, especially near pin and this hole would be great.
10# - It's a lefty dream hyzer downhill.
Fun Hole. Some major trimming/clearing needed to the right of the pin/fairway.
11# - Up and over a hill. Nothing special. Could be the 420/ hole or close.
Easy 3, but very fun, great uphill tee shot.
12# - Empty your bag hole!! Way downhill 450'ish with an Island green!!
Fun Hole, Plays waaaaaaay shorter than it looks.
13# - 300' thru tree with the lowest ceiling on the course.
A few branches gone and this would be a great hole, roller hole for deuce (Heritage Style)
14# - 200'ish down hill between trees.
Fun putter hole.
15# - 250'. Righty hyzer. Ob road runs all the way along the right. Heavy crap on the left.
Tough green with thick shule
16# - Up hill thru trees 320'ish. Pin sits on a sidehill incline.
Great hole, low ceiling uphill fairway w/tough green
17# - Almost like hole 12, but no Island. Just OB road in front of pin.
Fun bomb
18# - Uphill bomb. Road on left and parking lot on right, but the lot should never get to be in play. Pin sits in the corner or the road and pool driveway. 500'+
fairway tightens near pin, length is only excitement.
Course has some potential IMOP, but needs some serious trimming.
i think we did the best we could with the land we had to work with.
Abe Froman wrote:i like this palce. good use of land. lots of different holes and shots. clean and visible fairways. good job, ill be back

Operation: Research Autism
This is a guest post by Shelley Hendrix, the Director of State Based Advocacy at Autism Speaks.
The military has a weapon in the war on autism that few people know about even in our own community – a Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program specifically focused on research of previously overlooked medical issues, including autism spectrum disorder.
As a taxpayer, you contribute your two cents to this program – literally – every year.
The Department of Defense Autism Research Program (ARP) was established in 2007 after parents lobbied Congress for years. Lucky enough to be selected as a stakeholder, I participated in shaping the vision and mission of the program in March 2007.The program has a two-tiered review process with proposal evaluation by both a Scientific Review Panel (SRP), which reviews scientific method and validity,and Integration Panel (IP), which primarily focuses on programmatic impact to the community and issues final recommendations for funding projects. My service on the IP has allowed me to be intrinsically involved in funding scientific proposals for projects ranging from those designed to gather preliminary data that may lead to new breakthroughs one day up to complex clinical trials for new treatments or therapy modalities.
Since its inception, ASDRP has funded 66 projects investing $31.9 million in autism research.
What makes this program unique is my ability to contribute my two cents in other ways. In this program, consumers participate throughout the entire process – shaping the program and reviewing the scientific proposals with an equal, respected voice regarding innovation and impact. More importantly to me, consumers fully participate in distribution of funds – advocating expenditure in areas the community wants to be researched – now. Furthermore, if the SRP that a member of the IP believes has promise of significant impact, an IP member can rescue and champion it.
While science keeps plodding along trying to determine the etiology of autism, many parents simply want to find basic answers the quality of our children's lives now by addressing their behavioral and physical health gastrointestinal, sleep and seizure issues can change the whole family's life.
Comprised of scientists, clinicians and consumers from a variety of backgrounds, the integration panel has a unique opportunity for candid, civil conversation about the research direction of this program. Everyone has learned to appreciate different perspectives. For example, robotic technology is cool. But most parents don't want precious research dollars expended on robots to work with our children – at least not while there are still humans around.
The main thing I've learned on this panel is that the march of scientific progress not only requires significant money – it also takes a lot of time.
On April 7, 2000, I attended a meeting at the National Institutes of Health with around 250 parents – most had very young children. Fifteen minutes into the presentation, a brave mom stood asking when we could expect some answers. The speaker proudly announced from the podium that we could expect some good answers in 25-30 years.
All 250 of us got up and walked out of the meeting. I walked out because my son Liam was four at the time. The fact that they would not have answers for him until he was 34 seemed ridiculous. They didn't need to waste time telling me what autism was. They needed to get back to work.
Eleven years later, after serving on the DOD panel, now I understand what she meant. Doesn't make it easier but now I know firsthand the grant funding process takes years. The actual research takes years after that and then potentially waits even longer for acceptance for publication.
ARP Funding Timeline – Fiscal Year 2010
Fall of 2009 – $7.1 Million allocated to the ARP by United States Congress.
December, 2009 – IP meets to review vision and mission of program, research area focus and funding mechanisms.
February, 2010 – Program announcements and requests for proposals posted.
Late April, 2010 – Pre-proposals received from investigators seeking funding.
Late May, 2010 – Pre-proposals screened by IP determining invitees for full proposal submission.
June, 2010 – Invitations for full grant submission mailed.
July, 2010 – Full grant proposals received, prepared by program staff for review by SRP.
September, 2010 – SRP meets to review grant applications.
Late October, 2010 – Program staff organizes and prepares SRP reviews for IP
November 30, 2010 – IP approves $7.1 Million in funding on accepted grant proposals.
January, 2011 – Grant recipients are notified of award and must advise program staff if they accept funding or another source was found. If recipients turn down grants, alternates are contacted in rank order for funding opportunities so every dollar is effectively spent.
February, 2011 – All money is invested. Grant recipients must then demonstrate that approval at their institutional levels to work with human subjects or on human tissues.
September, 2011 – Grantees are anticipated to receive their first funding – funding that was first allocated in 2009.
September 20** – **Wait two, three or four years for the research projects to conclude and another couple for researchers to publish their findings in a paper and it's easy to see why the process begun on that cold wintery day in Annapolis in December, 2009 might not finish until December 2015, or beyond.
As frustrating as this glacial pace is to parents watching their children suffer day in and day out, just because you cannot see it does not mean research isn't being done. It does not mean that researchers are not working every day to validate treatments and therapies that have come from your complaints or ideas you developed in your own homes.
I am very proud of the science that the ARP has funded. We have stayed true to areas of research initial stakeholders expressed interest in 76% of the time. Only 12% of funding approved is for scientific proposals replicated in other research programs and the remaining 12% of the funded proposals are highlynovel ideas that are not currently funded by governmental, private or non-profit agencies.
The CDMRP has a number of other research programs in it that have not only provided the world with cutting edge research but have grown exponentially since their inception. For example, Congress appropriates over $100 Million annually to the Breast Cancer Research program.
Congress appropriated another $6.4 Million to the ARP in April 2011. As a community, we could grow that figure for this innovative program if we just act. Learn more about the ARP and register at Autism Votes so you can be first to contact your Congressman and Senator to let them know we want their support to increase funding next year.

SAN LEANDRO -- The switch from healing wounds to throwing punches came naturally for Joel Siapno, a nurse-in-training who debuts Friday as a professional boxer.
"I know a lot more about my body and what it can do," said the 22-year-old welterweight his coach calls "The Quiet Storm." "It's only made me a smarter, stronger fighter."
His professors considered Siapno one of their most promising future nurses when he graduated in May from Oakland's Samuel Merritt University, but a detour to the boxing ring has sent him on another path.
"I didn't have goals to become a professional," Siapno said of boxing. "It wasn't until I got in (the ring) with experienced veterans that I realized I could hold my own in the sport."
Now, as he studies for his nursing board exams, the affable East Bay boxer confronts a tough choice: become a healer or a fighter? How he does in a professional ring this year could show the way.
His mother works in a Kaiser Permanente laboratory and would prefer to see her son pursue his health care career. At the same time, she is nervously preparing to attend his four-round bout Friday night at the Longshoreman's Hall in San Francisco.
Other family members and friends have no qualms about rooting for Siapno's rise to boxing stardom.
"My dad's always saying he's going to be the next Manny Pacquiao," said cousin Harrison Overstreet, 17, of Tracy, as he watched a sweaty Siapno furiously sparring on Tuesday at The Kennel Boxing Gym in San Leandro.
The TV rooms of this extended Filipino-American family get crowded whenever Philippines champion Pacquiao enters the ring, Overstreet said. That enthusiasm is now shifting to their own family member as he readies for his first televised fight.
Raised in Hayward and San Leandro, Siapno graduated from St. Joseph Notre Dame High School in Alameda with an idealistic yearning to help people. He enrolled in Samuel Merritt's nursing school. He was a casual basketball player, not a boxer, until he began blowing steam on weekends at a gym.
Kennel Boxing Gym was so close to his family's San Leandro home that he biked there, returning after weekend sessions to study for his nursing classes.
Siapno did so well in his class on sizing up a patient's condition that his professor, Tamera Valenta, asked him to be a teaching assistant.
"He's a great guy. I think he'll be a really good nurse," Valenta said. "He's always got a good attitude, and he's a good teacher -- he's patient, he cares about what he's doing, he's thorough."
But as he was reading up on human anatomy and physiology, Siapno was also testing the limits of his own body and knocking out opponents during amateur fights at rowdy local bars. His coach trained him in an aggressive "pressure" style that always puts him on the offensive.
"I'd have to say boxing is tougher; it's a true test of character," Siapno said. "If I can make it in boxing, make it a living, I'd prefer to do that."
Some trainers would seize and immediately capitalize on a young boxer with Siapno's intrinsic talent and work ethic, but his coach, Arvin Jugarap, said he counseled Siapno to wait and finish his nursing degree before competing professionally.
Boxing is "a hard way to make a living," Jugarap said.
Of his turn toward professional boxing after graduation, Valenta said: "I'm a little surprised, especially when he understands what the injuries can mean. I suppose that will help him protect himself better."
It could also help whoever Siapno bloodies in the ring.
"He could look at the face, determine if the person was critically injured, how the person was acting mentally. He can look to see if their color is changing," Valenta said.
"He can tell if there's a traumatic brain injury," she added. "He can assess his own patient right in front of him, determine what's wrong and then fix it."
And then walk away, Siapno hopes, with a championship belt.

Autism bill would greatly aid families
Published: Sunday, June 2, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 31, 2013 at 4:30 p.m.
State senators should get behind legislation sponsored by N.C. Rep Chuck McGrady, R-Hendersonville, to require health insurance plans to cover the treatment of autism spectrum disorders.
Autism spectrum disorders are characterized by behaviors such as insistence on routines, repetitive use of language and an apparent lack of empathy for or connection with peers. As staff writer Nathaniel Axtell reported last Sunday, this legislation will make a profound difference for families struggling to get their children the care they need.
Axtells report focused on Alicia Ballard-Westbrook, whose son receives individualized, one-on-one therapy called applied behavior analysis through St. Gerard House, a Hendersonville nonprofit for children with autism spectrum disorders. The treatment has changed his life, enabling him to communicate better and have better control over tantrums, his mother says. Staff and fellow students at St. Gerard House have become like a second family.
ABA therapy is the only empirically proven method of treating behaviors associated with autism, according to the U.S. surgeon general. It can cost a family between $30,000 and $50,000 annually. North Carolina is among only 16 states that dont require employer-based health care plans to cover behavioral therapies for autism. Almost 60,000 young people and their families face unfair financial hardship as a result, Tracey Sheriff of the Autism Society of North Carolina said in a recent op-ed piece in the News & Observer of Raleigh.
McGradys legislation would change that. It would require health care plans to cover the screening, diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders up to age 23 and provide up to $36,000 a year in coverage for behavioral treatments such as ABA.
Its long overdue in our state, said Caroline Long, executive director of St. Gerard House. People are mortgaging their homes for a second time because this (ABA) therapy is the only thing that has been working for their child. They have been moving out of the state to get this therapy.
Long has two children with autism. After eight years of intensive therapy, both of them now attend mainstream classes at Immaculata Catholic School, with varying degrees of help from tutors and therapists.
If you get to them early, with 30 to 40 hours a week of intensive ABA therapy, 47 percent will be indistinguishable from their peers, meaning theyll be able to learn like their peers, she said.
McGrady said a visit with Long at St. Gerards convinced him something had to be done. Previous bills similar to his had gone nowhere, in part because of worries about how autism coverage could burden small businesses that pay for group health care plans. To address that concern, a provision was added so businesses can get a waiver from having to provide autism coverage if they demonstrate that compliance over a 12-month period increased their plans premiums by 1 percent or more.
We put that in the bill to ensure a range of insurance carriers that this thing wasnt going to blow right through the premiums they were charging, McGrady said. And based on the experiences in other states, nobody has gotten anywhere near that 1 percent number.
New figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention put the number of children ages 6 to 17 diagnosed with autism at one in 50. Thats a significant increase from the estimate of one in 88 reported last year. The reason for the increase, as reported in a recent Forbes article by Emily Willingham, has to do with a more comprehensive study. The one in 88 number came from a study based on only 8-year-olds.
The number of children reported with autism has been steadily growing, but the reason has more to do with more accurate diagnosis rather than a surge in cases. If you look at the numbers and the report itself, youll see that overall, the numbers of people born with autism arent necessarily increasing dramatically, Willingham reported. Its just that were getting better and better at counting them. The next step is getting better at accepting autistic people, seeing their potential, and ensuring the supports and resources they need to fulfill that potential.
Thats exactly what McGradys legislation attempts to do. The bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Chris Whitmire of Rosman, passed the N.C. House on April 15 by a vote of 105-7. The N.C. Senate should now make sure that this compassionate, common-sense legislation becomes law.

Tuscaloosa panel OKs $1.6 million in contracts, fees
Published: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 11:26 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | A City Council committee on Tuesday approved almost $1.6 million in contract work and engineering fees.
The final expenses won't be approved until next week by the full City Council, but the council's Public Projects Committee signed off on a slate of work that department heads said was necessary for future work or to clear up projects that already have been completed.
Largest among the expenditures was $210,425 for a project to examine the city's sanitary sewer lines via closed-circuit television and $756,110 for rehabilitation and repairs to the city's aging sewer infrastructure.
The latter contract, on the recommendation of Water and Sewer Department Director Jimmy Junkin, is going to REV Construction, a Tuscaloosa-based company incorporated in 2005 by Grady Pugh Jr.
Pugh spent five months in a South Carolina federal prison after admitting in 2007 to a role in the Jefferson County sewer bribery scandal.
His father, Grady "Roland" Pugh Sr., was convicted in 2007 on public corruption charges stemming from the scandal that erupted over the repair and expansion of the Jefferson County sewer system.
Junkin said REV Construction offered the lowest bid for the work, which is required to comply with state and federal mandates regarding the improvement of the city's sanitary sewer system.
Burk-Kleinpeter Inc. was awarded a $298,023 contract for engineering and design work for the improvements of 15th Street and McFarland Boulevard on the recommendation of acting City Engineer David Griffin.
The project is being conducted with the assistance of the Alabama Department of Transportation. As a result, the city will be reimbursed 80 percent of the engineering and design work, once complete, Griffin said.
The estimated $5.4 million project calls for adding several right- and left-turn lanes and upgrading street alignments at the intersection. Officials said the project will require a wider right of way along both sides of McFarland Boulevard, from 13th Street East to beyond 15th Street.
Burk-Kleinpeter also was granted an additional $19,727 for the McFarland Boulevard sidewalks project and $21,392 the Greensboro Avenue streetscape improvement, both of which were completed last year.
These additional payments were for extra engineering work needed as a result of project delays, Griffin said.
For the $3.6 million Greensboro Avenue project, the delays were caused by City Hall requests, Griffin said.
But Griffin said the contractor who performed the $373,000 McFarland Boulevard sidewalk work was responsible for those delays and has since agreed to a $19,800 reduction in order to offset the additional engineering costs.
For improvements to Juanita Drive in Alberta, which also will include upgrades to the roadway as well as the city's water, sewer and stormwater infrastructure, Griffin recommended Almon Associates for a $237,800 contract to handle the design and engineering.
Each recommendation posed by Griffin and Junkin was unanimously adopted by the committee.

Wednesday's letters: Logical viewpoint
Published: Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 8, 2013 at 6:16 p.m.
To the editor: The recent editorial column by Ron Kauffman was refreshing. It was accurate in clarifying the assault weapon issue based on fact, not emotion.
The media, as a general rule, continue to classify any weapon as an assault weapon based simply on its appearance rather than on its functionality. Assault (appearance) and automatic are not synonymous. Permits for automatic weapons are allowed in the U.S. by private citizens, but only under limited circumstances and with very lengthy background checks. They are scarce. Using scare tactics to change gun laws is despicable.
Thankfully, the general public has always seen past certain political ploys to change the Constitution regarding Americans right to bear arms.
With well-written editorial comment such as Mr. Kauffmans, we are able to look at these issues logically. I hope the Times-News will continue to publish his insights.
Mark Haines
To the editor: The Bible contains many secular lessons. Consider Joseph (Genesis 39-50) and his legacy (Exodus 1-16).
Horatio Alger values are taught when Josephs perseverance propels him from innocent jailbird to deputy pharaoh. The Pharaohs seven fat, seven lean years dream introduces the business cycle. When Josephs government banks grain for the lean years, we learn Keynesian economics of save now, spend later, instead of progressive economics of spend everything now, then borrow.
We learn power corrupts. Josephs nepotism delivers prime Egyptian land to his father (Jacob). During the lean years, Joseph sells the peoples previously confiscated grain back to them. Crony capitalism emerges when the priest class gets free grain. Money gone, the people hand over their livestock and land in order to eat. After surrendering all opportunity to feed themselves, they sell themselves into government bondage. Thus, collectivism begets tyranny.
Fast-forward 400 years to Exodus. Jacobs Faustian pact with Josephs progressive government has backfired into slavery. Jacobs progeny head for the Promised Land. But liberty demands responsibility. Unaccustomed to either, they seek a return to Egypt. Such is the allure and destructiveness of big-government dependency. Fortunately, Moses sets them straight.
Where is our Moses?

Food Month
To the editor: Looking through my calendar of national observances, it appears that October is turning into Food Month, and it began with World Vegetarian Day and World Day for Farm Animals on Oct. 1 and 2, continuing with National School Lunch Week Oct. 14-18 and World Food Day on Oct. 16, and culminating with Food Day on Oct. 24.
World Day for Farm Animals Day (www.WFAD.org) is perhaps the most dramatic of these. It celebrates the lives, exposes the abuses and memorializes the slaughter of billions of sentient animals raised for food.
Recent undercover investigations showed male baby chicks suffocated in plastic garbage bags or ground to death, pigs clobbered with metal pipes, and cows skinned and dismembered while still conscious.
Moreover, a recent Harvard study of more than 120,000 people confirmed once again that meat consumption raises mortality from cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Animal agriculture accounts for more water pollution than all other human activities. A 2011 United Nations report recommends eating less meat to reduce greenhouse gases.
The good news is that our meat consumption has been dropping by nearly 4 percent annually! Entering live vegan in a search engine brings lots of useful transition tips.

Bryant didn't attempt a shot in the first half and scored his first basket with 2:13 to play, finishing 1 for 8 with eight turnovers in one of the oddest games of his 17-year career.
Yet the Lakers survived against the Suns, getting 17 points from Metta World Peace and maintaining a small lead down the stretch of their 12th win in Phoenix's last 13 visits to Staples Center.
Michael Beasley scored 18 points and Luis Scola had 15 for the Suns, who have lost eight of 10. Phoenix is 5-23 on the road.
In a Lakers season jam-packed with ugly losses, statistical improbabilities and general weirdness, this victory will rank among the biggest curiosities. Along with Bryant's disappearing act, they won despite managing just nine points in the third quarter, their lowest-scoring period of the season.
Los Angeles returned from its longest road trip of the season with its fourth straight home win, but Bryant—the NBA's third-leading scorer this season—contributed little to the Lakers' win over the Suns, who beat the Lakers in Phoenix to start the trip last month.
Bryant took his recent propensity for playmaking to an uncomfortable extreme in the first half, accumulating eight assists without taking a shot.
Bryant finally started shooting in the third quarter, but was just as inept as his teammates, missing all five of his attempts. The Lakers didn't make a basket in the third quarter after World Peace's 3-pointer with 8:58 left, and Phoenix took its first lead late in the period despite its own poor shooting while the Lakers missed 16 of their 19 shots and went 9:21 without a basket.
Los Angeles fell behind by six points before finally mounting a comeback led by World Peace and Jodie Meeks, whose layup reclaimed the lead with 8:40 to play. The Lakers kept that small lead down the stretch, and Bryant finally got a bucket, an 8-foot leaner in the waning minutes.
The Lakers finally got home after being displaced by the Grammy Awards during a seven-game trip. Although the cross-country jaunt was fraught with injuries, poor performances and the usual drama surrounding this team, Los Angeles went 4-3 and built a little momentum for the first time in weeks.
The Lakers began that trip with a 92-86 loss at Phoenix on Jan. 30, blowing a big second-half lead and losing Howard to the shoulder injury that still dogs him.
NOTES: F Earl Clark played the Lakers' entire road trip with pain in his right foot, with the Lakers attributing it to inflammation or tendinitis. Clark says the pain reminded him of a stress fracture from his college career at Louisville, but he intends to play through it. ... The Lakers were home for the first time since losing Pau Gasol for at least six weeks with a foot injury.... Will Ferrell and Shaquille O'Neal watched the game from courtside seats underneath the basket on the Lakers' end of the floor. During a third-quarter timeout, Ferrell donned the red blazer worn by Staples Center security personnel and stood on the court. Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis also sat courtside.

This show was part of the "1994 Summer Tour."
And yet here I am, talking about a show that's probably more beloved than any of the Tweezerfests I mentioned, a show sporting one of the healthiest ratings on .net, and a show that people still talk about fondly to this day. When people talk about 1994 as one of Phish's great years, they are most assuredly including this show in that opinion. It's a classic show, it always has been, and it always will be.
The main reason for this? It's so damn *fun*. I mean, it's one thing to read the reviews about how upbeat and energetic this show is, but it's another thing to *hear* the show, the snarky OJ references already populating the 2001, the wild first draft of Simple that leaks into IAH, and the melodic firepower of both Mike's and Weekapaug (to say nothing of the Gamehendge-inflected Harpua), and be amazed at how much power the band put into their performances back then, before they properly harnessed it in 1995 and then dispersed it in new and exciting ways in 1997. There's still a lot of early 90s in this show (particularly Gamehendge), but with even more skill and ability than even a year ago, as the band were continuing to mature on stage. Once you get past the OJ stuff, that's what really remains - a band having as much fun as they ever had on stage, while showing just how far they'd come in such a short period of time. I'd say that makes this show worthy of its reputation.
Also, try not to laugh at "Run, OJ, run!"
From the completely random OJ references (which nobody in the audience knew what was going on at the time), to the great set list and encore, to the condensation pouring down from the ceilings in the restroom during intermission. This was truly an awesome show.
I must have been taking care of one of them during the second set- I did not see the big ball jam.
Oh yeah- why are these guys talking about OJ?
Fun stuff.

Grand Theft Auto V Delivers On All Eight Cylinders
Grand Theft Auto V has finally arrived. So many games promise, but don't deliver, a superlative, over-the-top experience, that I've gotten used to being skeptical and underwhelmed in my reviews.
It's a pleasant surprise to play a game that actually does the opposite. Before it hit stores Tuesday, Grand Theft Auto V from Rockstar Games promised only a "bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer." In an industry that spends millions on warping our perceptions with hyperbole, that qualifies as virtual understatement.
We all had an inkling of how grand GTA V would be from its August trailer, but I wasn't prepared to be blown away by the game the way I have after my first half-dozen hours of gameplay. This isn't just the best game in the 15-year-old franchise. It's already my top candidate for best game of 2013, and while it's still a bit too early for me to tell, it may bump The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim from my list of favorite console games.
GTA V isn't just the sandbox you've gotten used to from earlier versions of the game. Its map, which covers the fictional city of Los Santos and the much bigger surrounding landscape of San Andreas, is absolutely huge. My PlayStation 3 version of the game (which came on a Blu-ray disc) included a double-sided massive paper map, which points to many corners I want to explore and many tens of hours-to-come of gaming fun in the coming weeks. The game also comes on two discs for the Xbox 360.
I've always found the storylines in GTA games stilted and stupid. I've also never been able to identify with the "protagonist," if that's what you can call someone who often maims and kills his way to successful missions. This time, though, developer Rockstar North has offered a wrinkle, letting you play as and switch between three main characters, two of whom — Michael and Franklin — have already displayed enough warmth and humanity for me to feel some empathy toward them. The third — Trevor — is a total psychotic knob, and is more what we've come to expect from GTA anti-heroes over the years.
I don't want to spoil the game, but the premise is that the three main characters — kind of like in a Steven Soderbergh movie — are interconnected. Michael is a former criminal who got out and now lives the high life on the proceeds of his past life. Trevor cooks meth and goes on binges of violence. Franklin does repo work for a car dealer and skirts around the edges of a criminal world. The three come together to pull off heists.
For those new to GTA, entering its world will be daunting. You're expected, through a combination of fighting (armed and unarmed), driving vehicles and stealth to complete a series of missions. Your characters each have multiple skills, which can get built up over the course of the game by completing missions.
You are, of course, free to veer from missions and accept one-off mini-tasks that pop up on the screen as you're playing. Or, you can just explore and cause your own, unscripted brand of mayhem through theft of any car or other vehicle you want. You can start fights, shoot or run over innocent civilians. Beware the cops, though. Hurt too many innocents or scratch one of their cars, and they will relentlessly come after you, ramming your car and shooting you if you try to flee on foot.
For returnees and aficionados of GTA, it's not just the bigger maps that make this game great. The graphics must be making current-generation consoles groan, testing their very limits. I had to clear space on my hard drive to allow the install of around 8.5GB of data before I could play. People and buildings cast realistic shadows.
The early-morning sun actually blinds you as you drive east, the highway roads look pebbly, trees and scrub are incredibly detailed. I found myself stopping by the side of the road just to marvel at stone arches and monuments that were designed with precision I haven't previously seen in games. Everywhere you look, there are people walking or driving. There's stuff going on. It's unlike the aimless walking and drone-driving of earlier GTA games.
Most-impressive to me was that Rockstar seems to have solved the "grey-teeth syndrome" that seems to plague most virtual humans in current-generation consoles. Teeth look more realistic when characters' mouths move.
I only had one dropped-frames experience in a parking garage, in the middle of a fight with a security guard. My car disappeared, as did the guard, and everything turned grey until I dispatched the guy. But that was all. This game makes GTA IV look like kindergarten.
The handling of cars in GTA IV was mushy, slow and more like driving a boat or a 1970's Detroit special. That is no longer an issue in GTA V, unless you actually are handling something like a boat. High-performance cars you rip off scream tighly around corners, and I had fingertip control of every vehicle I drove.
The patter between characters in GTA V is profane, vulgar and totally in-character with the game, though it gets extremely tiresome and repetitive after you've tried to complete the same mission for the third or fourth time. I am happy to say that there are actual checkpoints in GTA V, so you don't have to go too far back or restart missions, as you did in previous versions.
Heists, though, are the biggest addition to this game, and the choices you have to make planning them make for a nail-biting experience. You can either meticulously plan for a more-stealthy takedown, or you can go in violently, guns-blazing. It's amazing to me how this one, simple element suddenly gives the game more meaning than a linear series of missions you need to complete.
As well, allowing the main character to play the stock market — and influence prices by his actions before buying or selling — adds a new wrinkle and level of depth and reality to a game that is more surreal than real. Another thing that impressed me, apart from the again wonderful selection of tunes on car radio stations, was the ability to watch TV programs on the main character's television. You can change channels and actually watch the different loops on different channels. That sets this game apart from others I've played this year.
And there's absolutely irreverent, snarky social commentary over car radios and between characters on everything from the American Dream to social-media networks. GTA V radio commentary on the all-pervasive and intrusive "LifeInvader," should make Facebook cringe.
I look forward to going to back to this game after this review to try more of the over-the-top weapons and vehicles and stunts, including flying a helicopter, jumping from a plane and riding a jet ski. I played the other GTA games all the way through and look forward to doing that with GTA V, though I suspect it will take me far longer than GTA IV did.
I have to say I was disappointed that GTA V remains misogynistic to the nth degree. Women in this game are floozies, skanks, hos or whatever nasty generalization or stereotype you can associate women with. I don't write this to be politically correct, but why can't there be a kick-ass, fantastic, Angela Jolie-type female main character in a GTA game? It's 2013, and it's not all about big boobs and tramp stamps in video-gaming.
I will recommend GTA V to anyone who asks me what game they should consider buying for their current-generation console and think it just all fits together very well. The eye for detail, the plot, the characters, the gameplay. They just work and feel big and celebratory of the genre.
Let's be clear. It's a nasty, violent genre. There's absolutely nothing redeeming about GTA V, no uplifting Christian tales of redemption or pink bunnies or unicorns. If you're a parent or grandparent eyeing something fun for your under-13 kids or grandkids, this absolutely isn't the right game.
But if you want to drive, shoot and wreak havoc, GTA V delivers.
The game retails for just under $60.

Castellani: A Long-term Vision for Innovative Biopharmaceutical Research Sector Needed
John Castellani's 2013 Annual Meeting Remarks
04.11.13 | By
John Castellani, PhRMA's president & CEO, opened today's afternoon session of PhRMA's Annual Meeting in San Diego in a speech calling on policymakers, healthcare stakeholders, biopharmaceutical industry critics and sector allies alike to recognize and leverage the value of innovative medicines.
Castellani focused on the need for cooperation and vision to find innovative healthcare solutions – solutions that both address our short-term cost issues but that also encompass a pathway to meeting the long-term healthcare challenges we face. He specifically invited :
"Our critics and allies alike to join with us to search for solutions that work in the real world and for real patients…[This] means solutions that help patients get innovative medicines faster. Solutions that stimulate and fund more R&D. Solutions that foster risky investment. [And] solutions that help us meet and overcome the enormous healthcare challenges ahead."
One solution in particular – recognizing the short- and long-term value of innovative medicines – is critically important. Castellani specifically pointed to the evolution of diabetes treatments as an example.
"Uncontrolled diabetes… can lead to many complications including amputations, kidney failure, heart attack and stroke. These complications are bad for patients and costly. The average cost of amputation surgery is $40,000. A single year of kidney dialysis runs about $83,000. But a year's supply of medicine that can help control diabetes averages around $2,400.
"More than the cost, however, I hope we can all agree that it is unquestionably better for patients to treat and control their diabetes, than to amputate or endure endless dialysis."
Castellani believes that important progress is finally being made in recognizing the long-term value of innovative medicines and their power to help bend the healthcare cost arc. He noted that after years of work, the U.S. Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is now recognizing the role innovative medicines plan in limiting healthcare costs and that they have changed the cost and value of medicines are calculates.
"This is big. For the first time, CBO is specifically accounting for the savings from medicines that reduce the need for other costly medical services, like hospitalizations, acute and long-term care.
"The new methodology incorporates a 0.2 percent decrease in spending on medical services for every one percent increase in the number of prescriptions. And, while this may seem small, it represents a sea-change in government thinking. CBO has come around, in a small way, to recognizing what all governments must face if we are to avoid pushing the cost of untreated, un-managed disease down the road.
"The bottom-line is that no nation, no matter how wealthy, can provide innovative health care for its citizens unless it values wellness, prevention and disease management at least as much as it values acute care.
"Similarly, no nation can afford to ignore the looming costs of chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension and Alzheimer's disease by dis-incentivizing investment in the innovative therapies that can help reduce those costs."
Understanding the potential power of innovation and the value of medicines, Castellani believes, has driven biopharmaceutical research companies to make critical R&D investments. In fact, since 2000, PhRMA member companies have invested more than half a trillion dollars in innovative biopharmaceutical R&D. This is an investment that continues to grow highlighted by the announcement that last year PhRMA member companies invested an additional $48 billion in new R&D and in a difficult economy.
Concluding his remarks, Castellani proposed a test for measuring the value, utility and the pragmatism of any healthcare policy proposal:
"At the end of the day, whether a proposed [healthcare] policy makes things better for patients – meets their needs and fulfills their hopes for a healthier future and longer life – is the only test that counts.
"…does a proposal help an HIV/AIDS patient get access to medicines needed to manage the disease? Will it foster the R&D needed to tackle the looming Alzheimer's disease crisis? Will it help reduce the enormous cost of treating chronic diseases by providing innovative solutions and treatments?
"…In other words: will a proposed policy 'solve' a short-term problem by undermining long-term and on-going progress?"
Vision and a clear focus on fostering the research needed to provide the innovative medicines we will require to meet the healthcare challenges ahead are essential. The biopharmaceutical research sector is committed to the on-going search for solutions that work for patients but it doesn't operate in a vacuum. The sector's ability to succeed requires policymakers create a scientific, regulatory, investment and economic eco-system that fosters innovation and R&D.
