Sullivan's Island Elementary School students definitely woke up on the right side of the bed, that is the oyster bed, this year. Each grade cluster has been learning about the dynamic local coastal habitats by literally getting their feet wet. The kindergarten and first grade classes experienced dragging a seine net with Jim Koenig of Kingfish Environmental pulling in quite a variety of plant and animal life which lies just offshore. Students compared and contrasted animal adaptations as well as learned about a variety of niches occupied by these organisms.
The second and third grades experienced the multitude of life forms existing inshore in splendid marshes led by Barrier Island EcoTours naturalists; everything from the innumerable planktonic species in estuarine waters, to the blue and stone crabs pulled up in the very same pots fisherman have used for over a century, to bottlenose dolphin breaching before their very eyes. The concept of an ecosystem was introduced and reinforced and students were shown how they can impact the entire system in very positive ways.
The fourth and fifth grade cluster ventured into the interior of a pristine barrier island habitat with the naturalists from Coastal Expeditions, investigating further connections between the concepts that were learned by the kindergarten through third grade clusters. While doing so, they experienced the very specific, dynamic zones which comprise a barrier island and learned more about what it takes to survive in this beautiful, yet volatile, environment.
Bull Island, part of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge is a perfect example of an almost completely unaltered barrier island with extremely visible evidence of the natural processes these islands face seasonally, annually and even throughout decades and centuries. Students were able to begin to piece together the "life" of a barrier island and its inhabitants which allowed them to realize the importance of these ecosystems within our larger system.
SIES students are taught to think critically, logically and to make connections daily, while in the classroom. The experiences that teachers provide outside of the walls of the school help students to understand that there is relevance to what they are learning. Without students being able to connect themselves to a bigger picture and to realize their impact and influence on our natural world, with each decision they make, the school would not be doing its job to create fully-informed young people who will work to protect, sustain and enhance the parts of our world that we all feel the most connected to.

Maintain a Healthy State of Mind
Everyone has their own ways of dealing with stressful situations. Resilience—the ability to adapt well to life's ups and downs—can help manage stress and feelings of anxiety. Everyone can develop resilience. It involves thoughts and actions that can be learned and practiced over time.
Anyone who experiences a disaster is affected by it, whether directly or indirectly through location, family or friends, or exposure to media coverage of the event.
Even if a disaster, such as a terrorist act, produces little physical damage, it can bring fear, confusion, and uncertainty into daily life. Strong and varied emotional reactions to such an event are natural. People are resilient and able to recover from difficult experiences.
Given the uncontrollable nature of disasters, some people question whether they can take steps to plan for catastrophic events. Actually, we know that the more people prepare for the unexpected, the better they manage these situations.
The following sections explore common reactions to disasters and how people in different age groups can prepare for, respond to, and recover from their experiences.

Allegro Non Troppo
Almost all of us are familiar with Walt Disney's Fantasia. The premise of this movie was simple to state if not to carry out; turn a group of Disney animators loose interpreting classical music into a vibrate visual style. Walt Disney animators did this with elegance and style.
Enter Italian film producer Bruno Bozzetto. He gives us a fictional director who aspires to share with us his truly original idea; to take classical music and force an animator he has kept locked away for years upon classical music and interpret it into a vibrate visual style. As the films starts, the director finds that some little upstart of a company named "Prisney" or something close to it had done the same basic premise years before. Determined to outdo this upstart imitator, the director whips his animator into a frenzied pace.
This film is every bit as entertaining as Walt Disney's Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 though it is aimed at an older audience and contains some pointed social satire as well. I won't say the film is better or worse than Fantasia, just different. The musical scores are just as good as those that Disney made and the animation is... AHA! Wait, there is the difference. It is often funny, irreverent, over the top and runs the gamut from simple line animation to finely detailed work. If you liked Fantasia but found it at times a little "full of itself" you will most likely enjoy Allegro Non Troppo.

April 11, 1948 – May 22, 2013
John A. Busse, a former supervisory special agent for the criminal investigation division of the Rochester field office of the Internal Revenue Service, died Wednesday in Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital, Amherst, after a short illness. He was 65.
A Buffalo native, he was a graduate of Bishop Fallon High School
He was a cum laude graduate of the University at Buffalo.
Mr. Busse, an Amherst resident, retired in 2005 after a 33-year career with the IRS.
He was active through his professional career with the FBI and other federal and state agencies on task forces dealing with public corruption at all levels of government.
In 2001, Mr. Busse was selected to supervise a group of criminal investigation special agents for the IRS in Western New York, and he played a key role in the convictions of 227 people involved with 53 Western New York telemarketing companies in the 1990s, resulting in $9.6 million in court-ordered restitution and $1.1 million in business income forfeitures. In December 1999, U.S. Attorney Denise O'Donnell personally lauded Mr. Busse for his efforts in the telemarketing scam investigations.
A member of the Army National Guard, Mr. Busse was honorably discharged in 1974 as the chief of the communications section of Buffalo's 152nd Engineer Battalion.
He was a coach and manager of various levels of youth hockey teams in Amherst and Depew, and a former manager-coach in the Amherst Soccer Association and Amherst's Christy Mathewson/McCarthy Baseball Little League.
He also was an avid golfer and former vice president of the IRS Buffalo Golf League.
He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Adrienne; two sons, John and Brian; two daughters, Michelle and Nicole; his mother, Frances; two brothers, Joseph and James; and a sister, Judy.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 9 a.m. Tuesday in St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church on Maple Road in Amherst.

The Pennsylvania Dairy Futures Analysis was a joint project of the Center for Dairy Excellence, Penn State Extension Dairy Team, University of Pennsylvania New Bolton Center and Saint Joseph's University School of Food Marketing. It was funded in part by a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and was a year-long review of historical trends and future projections within Pennsylvania's dairy industry.
The study looks at trends in producer demographics, on-farm production, crop and land use, processing, marketing and consumption patterns. The analysis also offers twenty prescriptions for necessary interventions to foster growth and revitalization of the dairy industry in the commonwealth.
"This project was a unique effort to analyze our industry, gain a perspective on the future, and most importantly, identify those variables influencing our future success," said John Frey, executive director of the Center for Dairy Excellence. "We believe it offers a telling story on the Pennsylvania dairy industry's historical trends, its strengths, and the opportunities that exist for growth in all sectors of the industry."
Both dairy professionals and individual producers are invited to participate in upcoming webinars detailing the findings of the analysis, which will be held both as a conference call and in a webinar format. The webinars will also be recorded and will be available for later viewing.
A recording of the first webinar, "An Overview of the Analysis Objectives and Findings" is now available, with upcoming webinar dates listed below. All webinars begin at 2 p.m. To pre-register, email email@example.com.

It is deeply ironic that bitcoiners decry regulation without fully understanding that is exactly what large, monopolistic buisnesses want, or a magical free market thatwe technically had in the early 1900s and only led to massive worker and market abuses.

It is with even deeper irony that you decry government manipulation of markets, when the exact opposite led to massive and disastrous market fluctuations.

It is with the deepest irony that you decry manipulation of markets without realizing that studying and learning to manipulate markets is the ENTIRE point of economics.

Telecommunications & Wireless Market Research Reports & Industry Analysis
Wireless communication has the ability to be limited to small distances, like it's done with bluetooth communications, or also to thousand mile distances like with short wave radio communication.
Wireless communications can be found frequently within the telecommunication sector as a vehicle to transport data without the need to use wires. This transfer of data over large distances to communicate with complex, electrical products can be found in devices like telegraphs, teletypes, telephones, the use of microwave and radio waves, fiber optics and their corresponding electronics, in addition to its use in various orbiting satellites and the Internet.
While the focus of opportunity in the telecommunications industry continually changes from wired to wireless frameworks, the necessity to access a larger portion of the electromagnetic spectrum becomes increasingly valuable. There are many competing opinions of the best way to free up spectrum under the present power and control of the government bureaucracy's around the world.

NEW CUMBERLAND - The Hancock County school board must decide Monday whether to accept a bid for Newell Memorial Field that is $200,000 below the minimum bid.
Superintendent Suzan Smith said she likely will recommend that the board not accept the $50,000 bid from the Chester Volunteer Fire Department, the only bidder.
"I really can't recommend (approval) when the minimum bid is $250,000," Smith said. "(The bid) is less than that, so I really cannot recommend the sale of the property."

Newell Memorial Field hosted its first home game in 1950 and its last on Oct. 14, 2011. The football stadium was auctioned off on Thursday to the Chester Volunteer Fire Department for $50,000. The Hancock County school board will decide whether to accept that bid on Monday. (Photo by Stephen Huba)
The board meets in special session at 6:30 p.m. Monday to consider the sale.
Thursday's auction of Newell Memorial Field unfolded in a way that surprised some observers and puzzled others-both in the fact that there was only one bidder and that the bid was only one-fifth of the minimum bid.
School board President Jerry Durante said he doesn't know why other interested parties, of whom there were several, did not attend the auction or bid on the property.
"I was a little disappointed in that. I thought we'd have a resolution by now," Durante said. "The board has a great interest in seeing that the right thing is done."
Chester fire Chief John Hissam said he was prepared to bid more but felt that $50,000 was a "reputable" bid. "The reason I bid what I bid was because the gentleman running the auction said they would accept any bid, since there was only one bidder," he said.
Weirton attorney Bill Fahey, Smith's designated representative at the auction, said he opened the bidding to any bid "so the board could get a feel for what value the community was placing on the property. ... Just because there's a minimum bid doesn't mean it has to start at the minimum bid."
The legal advertisement placed by the school board in area newspapers said the 4.25-acre property will be sold at public auction to the highest responsible bidder "whose bid meets or exceeds the minimum advertised price herein."
Regardless, Hissam was exultant about the auction results. "It's a win for everybody," he said. "Our plan is that the football field will be there forever as a community piece of property."
Beverly Enochs, president of the Newell Community Improvement Coalition, described the community as "ecstatic. We're very happy to have the field back in the community, to be used for what it is intended, and we hope it stands."
Although anticlimactic, the auction culminates a sometimes contentious process that began in June with the board's declaration of the Newell stadium and Jimmy Carey Stadium in Weirton as surplus property. The stadiums are no longer needed now that Weirton and Oak Glen high schools have new multi-sports complexes.
The board's decision to sell the Newell stadium at public auction angered some residents who feared that a private owner would develop the property for purposes at odds with the public good.
In July, the fire department approached the school district with an offer - first $150,000, then $300,000 - to buy and maintain the field for community use. Smith declined that offer, saying the district could not negotiate with non-governmental organizations.
Earlier this month, the city of Chester offered to use privately-donated money to buy the stadium, but the offer died for lack of board interest. The city's offer included the fire department taking ownership of the property and reimbursing the anonymous donor.
Bidding at Thursday's auction began at 10 a.m., and it soon became apparent that Hissam was the only bidder. Hissam asked Fahey if he could bid any amount, even below the minimum, and Fahey replied, "I think that would be a fair way to proceed."
After Hissam's bid, Fahey closed the bidding. Hissam said he gave Smith a check for $7,500, which is 15 percent of the winning bid. The balance will be given to the district if the board approves the bid at its Monday meeting.

Everything was perfect at Julie´s place. The apartement was perfectly clean, and she had left some papers with practical information which was very helpful. A very quiet area - you coyld even sleep on the terras during the night without a single car disturbing. And only two stops by tram from the railway station. Quite some shops on the boulevard but not many local restaurants - one tram-stop away though. The photoes didn´t promise more than they could fullfill
Great apartment and great hosts, both Julie and her mother.
Thank you for the lovely time in Nice you made possible!
Very nice and well located apartment with all amenities. We would come back anytime!
Sehr schöne und gut gelegene Wohnung mit allen Annehmlichkeiten. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!
Great hospitality from Julie and her mother - both were so polite and helpful!!! The apartment is such a beautiful place to stay! We felt immediately at home and loved the daily breakfast and the sunset on the balkony. Nothing to complain - everything was perfect. Thank you!
all the best!!! Super accommodation, apartment chic, bakery around the corner, and the tram and some supermarkets. Simply class.
What else you have to say to the apartment there is a steep upwards, so for people with mobility problems or slightly older people who are not so good on foot, it is rather cumbersome.
Alles bestens!!! Super Unterkunft, Wohnung schick, Bäckerei um die Ecke sowie die Tram und einige Supermärkte. Einfach Klasse.
Was man noch sagen muss, zur Wohnung geht es steil nach oben, also für Menschen mit Gehbehinderung oder etwas ältere Menschen, die nicht so gut zu Fuss sind, wird es eher beschwerlich.
Very nice flat, with great ausblick.sehr nice vermieterin.jeder time again :)

The University at Buffalo positioned itself for a marketing victory this evening by announcing former Duke great Bobby Hurley as its new basketball coach. Hurley replaces Reggie Witherspoon, who was dismissed March 15 after 14 years on the job.
It's an intriguing hire in that Hurley is part of one of the most renowned basketball families in the country. At the same time, he never has been a head coach, only returned to the basketball scene three years ago and declined a lower level head job at the end of last season.
Hurley, one of the most distinguished players in the illustrious history of Duke basketball, spent the last three seasons as an assistant/associate head coach for his brother Danny. The two were together for two seasons at Wagner College, and Bobby turned down the head job with the Seahawks when Danny accepted the head job at Rhode Island, replacing current Canisius coach Jim Baron. Instead, Bobby followed his brother and spent this last season as associate head coach with the Rams. Rhode Island went 8-21 and 3-13 in the Atlantic 10.
"After reviewing a large and highly qualified national pool and following my conversations with some of the most respected figures in college athletics, Coach Hurley was clearly the choice to lead the next era of UB basketball," Athletic Director Danny White said in a news release.
Hurley, the son of Basketball Hall of Famer Bob Hurley – the coach of St. Anthony's in Jersey City, N.J. – has ties to Western New York in the personage of Nichols graduate Christian Laettner. The two were teammates on the Duke team that went to three Final Fours and won back-to-back national titles beginning in 1991.
Hurley was selected seventh overall by Sacramento in the 1993 NBA draft but had his early career derailed by a car accident that inflicted life-threatening injuries. He missed the final four months of his rookie season but returned the following year and played another four seasons.
Following his NBA career, Hurley immersed himself in thoroughbred horse racing.

This is an absolutely ridiculous comparison. So, in effect, you're saying the Wings are "cheap" for not paying a player $24-million for these players when they did for a team in another sport they own? Or it'd be "cheap" if they didn't spend $30-million per year on a player because someone did with Joe Johnson in the NBA?
Ownership offered, and will pay, two-hundred-and-fourteen million to one player, paid over a shorter period of time. No difference whatsoever.
This is ludicrous on all fronts and I feel dumber having to even respond to it. What the Tigers do in baseball has had nothing to do with the Red Wings spending habits in hockey. Nothing.

Dr. Maria Serrat, Assistant Professor of Anatomy, presented "Multiphoton imaging offers new insights into growth plate regulation" at the Gordon Research Conference: Cartilage Biology and Pathology, held March 6-11, 2011, in Ventura, California. Dr. Serrat studies the regulation of postnatal bone elongation in growth plates, the regions of cartilage where bone lengthening occurs. She investigates the environmental component of bone growth, specifically the facilitative role of warm temperature and physical activity on limb lengthening. Dr. Serrat's long-term goal is to identify the physiological mechanisms underlying temperature- and exercise-enhanced bone elongation in the growth plate in order to develop more effective treatments for childhood growth disorders.

Bummis Swimmi Reusable Swim Diaper ... the best swim diaper option around.
What's the most important feature parents want in a swim diaper? Reliability! The Bummis Swimmi has your baby covered (pun intended). The trouble with most disposable swim diapers is that as soon as they hit the water, they no longer contain solids as well as we would like. You don't want your baby to be the reason everyone has to leave the pool, so an effective, reliable swim diaper is a must. Not to mention all the money you'll save because you'll no longer be throwing out single-use diapers! These reusable swim diapers work great in a home pool, public pool, lake or while on vacation. This is by far one of our favourite and most popular products. You won't be disappointed!
Why parents love Bummis Reusable Swimmi Diapers:
- Save money on disposable swim pants. The Swimmi can be washed & reused!
- A reliable way to contain solids when swimming in a pool or at the beach.
- An interior mesh lining increases the flow of air and aids in holding the cover (and messes!) in place.
- The SMALL size is modified with an innovative overlapping Velcro closure design to ensure super softness and a fit that really works on the average newborn.
- Perfect for travel! These pack way better than disposable swim diapers ever will. With 2 swim diapers (one for use on baby, and a backup just in case) you won't need to bring anything else for swimming.
- A super adjustable three inch tummy panel of Velcro that's dependable and durable.
- Soft and stretchy lycra bindings around tummy and legs.
- Lightweight waterproof fabric will not harden, crack or yellow over time.
- Easy care. Machine washable in warm water and hang to dry.
- Made in Canada and designed & created by Canadian moms.
Bummis Swimmi reusable swim diapers are a trim-fitting diaper cover that hugs a baby's bottom like a glove without looking baggy. The cotton exterior is soft to the touch for both caregivers and baby. These diaper covers are not the rough or scratchy nature of a cover constructed with vinyl. Absorbency is not required in a swim pant, which is something a disposable swim diaper manufacturer might lead you to believe.
The perfect Baby Swim Diapers! The Swimmi is constructed of an exterior layer of cotton laminate in fun prints. It has a cool mesh lining which helps to contain messes inside the diaper cover. The Bummis Swimmis is a reusable, super lightweight and breathable swim diaper with the same legendary fit and stretchy, comfortable lycra bindings that have made Bummis diaper covers world-renowned. We love the cute prints which make for a styling poolside impression at home, at the beach or on vacation.
Effective, environmentally-friendly, economical, chemical-free and cute.
What more could you ask for? A Swimmi will hold waste much better than a disposable swim diaper. The Swimmi is highly adjustable and you can easily tighten the swim diaper, as with any cloth diaper cover, around the waist and thigh area. The soft, gentle elastic will contain any mess from leaking around the legs or out the back of the swim diaper. The Swimmi reusable swim diaper is a much more effective, environmentally-friendly and attractive option to disposable swim pants. Most importantly, the Swimmi reusable swim diaper is chemical-free keeping baby's bottom, the pool and our waterways free of questionable ingredients.
How do you use a Bummis Cotton Diaper Cover as a swim diaper? Easy! Choose a size based on your little ones weight range, and use just like a swimsuit. Nothing is needed under or over this swim diaper. When paired with a t-shirt on a hot summer day, there is no need to put your baby in anything else. Perfect for the beach, the pool or just hanging out in the backyard, when used as a swim diaper, the Bummis Cotton cover will keep your baby cool and comfortable.
Can the Swimmi be used in a public pool setting?
Yes! If your public pool won't allow a reusable swim diaper, we would love the opportunity to challenge their thinking. Many public pools are under the assumption that a disposable swim diaper is more absorbent or hygienic than a reusable swim diaper because the absorbency is "built-in". However many are unaware of how the absorbency of a disposable diaper actually works.
A disposable swim diaper instantly absorbs liquid, which means the moment your baby or child goes in the pool, the diaper will quickly reach it's maximum absorbency level. Have you ever seen a toddler with a disposable swim diaper come out of the pool and walk around? The diaper almost always looks soggy, droopy and hangs lower than when the diaper was first put on (dry). As soon as a disposable swim diaper is wet it becomes LESS effective at containing waste!
If your public pool is under the assumption that a disposable product is better for their environment, ask them where they think the waste and urine will go as soon as a baby or child is put in the pool. Chances are, they haven't actually considered this. A simple experiment using a disposable swim diaper immersed in water will show how quickly it "fills" with water and becomes ineffective. We won't even mention the chemical gels that are used inside disposable swim diapers, causing the massive absorption rates. We're actually surprised public pools don't insist on reusable swim diapers. Who wants to be swimming around with that?!?
Functional and fun, this diaper cover/swim diaper is available in a variety of unisex prints.
Can you believe it's also made in Canada? Perfection in a swim diaper!

My search for the best reusable swim diaper is over!! Review by Nicole
Price Value Quality
I bought one of these swim diapers for each of my children, one small, one medium, and one large. I love the different designs and don't even bother to put swim trunks over top on my 4 month old, I just don't want to cover up the cute swim diaper. The designs are all gender neutral too so my youngest will eventually wear all of them. You can get a package of [disposable] swim diapers for a little less than the price of a Swimmi but these last way longer than 10 uses and is better for the environment. The most important thing to remember with using a Swimmi is that they don't hold in the pee so don't put it on until it's needed. I've tried a few different reusable swim diapers and this is the only one that has held in the really loose newborn poop, which saves me from a lot of embarrassment!! We go swimming often and it's nice to know that my kids are keeping the water clean.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!

I really like this swim diaper. Bummis is a great, quality brand. The velcro is super strong, and I like the wide area to fasten it to. The prints are cute! Great fit. I wish it had laundry tabs though. (Posted on 1/1/11)
My favourite swim diaper Review by Nikki
Price Value Quality
These fit well, are easy to get on and off a wet, squirmy baby, and look adorable. I've tried other swim diapers but I'm now a Swimmi devotee. I was concerned that the velcro would stick to my swimsuit, but it's not a problem at all - and I wash them with our swimsuits with no problems. Just stick the tabs onto the diaper as if you were putting it on the baby before washing.
Of course, different pools have different rules, but reusable cloth diapers haven't been a problem at the city-owned pools in Ottawa. (Posted on 1/1/11)
Love the Swimmi! Review by Barbara

My in-laws have a swimming pool, so we spend lots of time in the water. The Swimmi is perfect - it holds in the poop, and is completely adorable. The only problem is that the velcro can pull on your swimsuit. (Posted on 1/1/11)

Buy a pair of these for the price of a package of disposables!Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
The wide velcro makes for a custom fit and I can assure you, based on experience that this diaper holds in even the nastiest of accidents! LOL.
Because of the weight range, I was actually able to get two summers our of my Swimmi. Of course they demonstrate the Bummi's quality and I'll be using one of our pair for a third child this summer! (Posted on 1/2/11)
Super cute! Review by Casey

This swim diaper is super cute! I love it. The fit is really nice, great fabric and nicely made. The velcro tabs seem really durable. My little one can get out of bumGenius diapers no problem but hasn't managed to undo her Swimmi.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
I haven't yet had a poop to deal with so I can't comment on that. But, you do have to remember that the diaper doesn't hold pee so you can't put in on until you're at the beach, pool, or where ever.
My only critique of the Swimmi is that it doesn't have laundry tabs. I would prefer to launder it flat but then the velcro sticks to everything. (Posted on 7/14/10)

So cute, but fades in chlorine Review by Toniette
Value Quality Price
I bought this to take my son swimming at the local pool over the winter, and it really works great! Haven't had a poop to contend with, just pee. It's so cute! The only thing I was disappointed in is that the colours faded severely after just 1 swim.
A message from the bynature.ca team: Unfortunately some fading should be expected when using the Swimmi (or any clothing) in a chlorinated pool, since chlorine is like a bleach. Clothing will fade to varying degrees, depending on the level of chlorine in a particular pool, so fading to this extent likely indicates a heavily chlorinated pool (the case with many public pools). In a salt-water pool or open water (beach), fading should be less evident.

ISI's safe hideout in Nepal for terrorists
By Express News Service - NEW DELHI
Published: 30th August 2013 07:42 AM
Last Updated: 30th August 2013 07:42 AM
The capture of Indian Mujahideen co-founder Yasin Bhatkal and an IM operative Assadullah Akhtar shows that the home-grown terrorist outfit's Nepal setup is intact, according to a senior intelligence official Express spoke with.
The official said Bhatkal and other operatives were provided a safe hideout and cover by ISI through its Karachi project, (details of which were first revealed by Mumbai terror attack accused David Headley, who confirmed that the ISI had put together a team of jihadis from India in the Pakistani port city, calling it the Karachi Project. With the project, Pakistan's aim is to use militant groups as strategic arsenal to counter the military and economic advantage that India possesses by making the operatives plant bombs in Indian cities).
The official also said Bhatkal and Haddi were planning a trip to Bangladesh to meet IM's modules active in the neighbouring country to carry out next terror strike.
"Karachi project or Karachi setup is controlled by ISI and Lashkar-e-Taiyaba involving terror modules recruited from Maharashtra, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh. ISI had set up a special base in Nepal in 2005 to provide hideout to Indian home-grown terrorists. It is clear that Bhatkal was protected by the Karachi setup and had a free run between India and Nepal," he said.
Complimenting the spy agencies for a well-coordinated operation, Minister of State for Home RPN Singh said they had done a remarkable job by arresting one of India's most wanted terrorists.
"We got some kind of success with the arrest of Tunda, but today is a great day since we have arrested IM co-founder Bhatkal. His arrest is very important for us because he was involved in bomb blasts around the country," Singh said.
Bihar Additional Director General of Police (Headquarters) Ravindra Kumar said NIA has taken custody of Bhatkal and Haddi and they would be brought to New Delhi on Friday for further interrogation.
With the arrest of Yasin Bhatkal, various states' security agencies are hoping to crack the terror cases and arrest sleeper cells that have aided IM's planner to carry out terror strikes. Word is already out that states including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra and Gujarat have expressed interest in interrogating terror mastermind Bhatkal. "He will also be able to reveal the details about absconding IM operatives, including Riyaz Bhatkal, Iqbal Bhatkal, Mohsin Chaudhary, Amir Reza Khan, Dr Shahnawaz Alam, Ariz Khan, Mohd Khalid, Mirza Shadab Beg and Mohd Sajid," sources said.

--Principles Emphasize the Three "R's" of Health Care: Research, Reimbursement and Resources-- --Federal Legislation to Require Equitable Insurance Coverage for All Treatments, Oral and I.V. , Gains Bi-Partisan Support in the House--
New Orleans, LA, December 3, 2009 – A coalition of cancer patient advocacy organizations led by the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) and the MDS Foundation (MDSF), will bring its cancer patient "Statement of Principles" to the 2009 Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) in New Orleans December 5th through 8th. The Principles emphasize equal insurance coverage, prevention research, continued innovation, early approvals, and expanded access to experimental drugs, all vitally important to patients with incurable-but-treatable cancers. The "Statement of Principles," first launched at the ASCO cancer conference this spring, comes to ASH with the support of patients nationwide, an active legislative campaign, and bi-partisan support for state and federal initiatives that address the issues raised by this program.
"Together we must work to see that orally-administered cancer pills are covered at the same rate as intravenous and injectable drugs," said Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-27), who introduced H.R. 2366, the Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act of 2009. "It surprises many people to learn patients pay more out of pocket for a pill they take home than for an I.V. infusion at a medical setting. Cancer patients should be able to focus on fighting the disease rather than fighting the insurance company for parity reimbursement on a treatment that could alleviate suffering and improve outcomes. "
Beyond fighting for insurance reimbursement based on medical need, the Principles call for an expedited drug approval system for patients with life-threatening conditions, and call for easier access to new drugs while they are still in the approval process.
"When I developed an infection, my cancer drug stopped working," said former NFL linebacker Elijah Alexander, a myeloma patient and founder of the Tackle Cancer Foundation. "A new drug, pomalidomide, was waiting in the wings, but for me to get pomalidomide, I had to travel out of state to take part in a clinical trial. I'm fortunate to have the strength and resources to do that, but it's a burden that many cancer patients cannot and should not have to face. "
The Principles are timed to continue the momentum in research and treatment that have improved patients' lives. This year a study confirmed that for the first time an innovative drug (VIDAZA®) extends survival for patients with higher-risk MDS. With multiple myeloma, the novel therapies have extended survival from 3 years to 5, 8, 10 years and beyond. "In short we are fighting for the three R's," said Susie Novis, president and co-founder of the IMF. "We need Research, Reimbursement and Resources, because with these changes we can improve care, save money by streamlining drug access and approvals, and give patients the chance for the rich, full lives they deserve. "
Supporters can visit the "Statement of Principles" booth at ASH, or learn more at the advocacy page on the IMF Website, advocacy.myeloma.org, and Twitter CP4EA (cancer patients 4 equal access).

After meeting with private sector business leaders at the White House on Wednesday, President Obama told reporters that "everyone is looking to America" for a long-term agenda for prosperity. However, the president also made it clear that what's "holding us back" is the rigid position of House Republicans and their defense of expensive tax cuts for the wealthy.
While House Republicans have not even agreed to a compromise that would avoid pushing the country off the fiscal cliff, there is already the suggestion that Republicans would deliberately crash global financial markets by taking the debt ceiling vote hostage in two months, as they did in 2011.
House Speaker John Boehner told reporters on Wednesday morning that the current proposals to head-off a fiscal cliff disaster, "couldn't pass either house." But that may not be entirely true. In recent days, some Republicans have suggested that they would break party ranks and vote to extend the Bush tax cuts for the middle-class. They also recognize the inevitability of raising top tax rates if the deficit is to be brought under control.
Center for American Progress fiscal reform director Seth Hanlon said in the New York Times:
"As we confront these fiscal challenges, the highest income Americans, who have seen their incomes grow much faster than the middle class, are paying much lower taxes than they were only a decade ago. The top 1 percent, which brought home 17 percent of all income over the last five years, has seen its overall federal tax rates cut by about one-fifth since the mid-1990s. We can achieve significant deficit reduction simply by asking as much of people at the top as we did during the 1990s."
Boehner has so far refused to allow members of the House to vote on an extension of the Bush tax cuts for the middle class because it does not also extend them for the top 2 percent. Therefore, the primary stumbling block in fiscal cliff negotiations remains Republican insistence on extending lower tax rates for Americans earning more than $250,000 a year.
However, it's not an increase in taxes that economists fear would cause another recession. The super-committee sequester deal that set up the fiscal cliff scenario last year also includes deep spending cuts that would cause about 277,000 government worker layoffs in 2013 and more in 2014 as the ripple-effect spread throughout the economy.
It is crystal-clear that the Republican Party, which suffered significant losses in the 2012 elections running on tax cuts for the rich and austerity for everyone else, has an agenda that has nothing whatsoever to do with serving the American public responsibly.
The American economy is directly tied to global financial markets. If Republicans continue to demonstrate reckless behavior by substituting hostage negotiations for responsible governing, businesses will look for more politically stable countries to invest in. That is bad for the economy and bad for America's global stature.
The world is watching, but Republicans do not seem to care how they disgrace and discredit America in the eyes of the world. Their political gamesmanship in refusing to compromise on a fiscal cliff deal is an embarrassment to every American.
A recent Pew Research poll showed that only 27 percent of Americans would blame Obama for causing America to fall over the fiscal cliff on Jan. 1, 2013, while 53% say it will be the Republicans' fault.
