Daytona International Speedway will push forward with a major redevelopment project despite the Florida legislature's decision not to assist with public funds.
International Speedway Corp., which owns Daytona and 12 other NASCAR tracks, announced approval Tuesday for a project that will dramatically overhaul the frontstretch at the "World Center of Racing." The construction will cost between $375 million and $400 million and is expected to be completed before the 2016 Daytona 500.
The redevelopment primarily focuses on creating a modern look and feel to the aging frontstretch grandstands. In February, Daytona unveiled a "complete reimagining" of the stands, which will appear more like a current NFL stadium with wide concourses featuring themed restaurants and gathering areas, a massive main entrance and the addition of 40 escalators.
When the project is done, Daytona will have reduced its capacity by 46,000 seats to 101,000. The backstretch stands will be removed and wider seats will be installed on the frontstretch.
Lesa France Kennedy, ISC's CEO, said the project would be "truly creating history with this unprecedented endeavor.
"I commend the board's decision to move forward on our plan to redevelop the company's signature motor sports facility, thereby shaping the vision of Daytona for the next 50 years," she said.
ISC will fund the project from its own pockets and use a majority of the $600 million capital expenditure budget it has for all of its tracks combined over a five-year period from 2013 to 2017. It originally had tried to create a public/private partnership with Florida, but the legislature chose not to bring the tax bill for a vote before its session closed in May.
Due to the lack of public funds, Daytona will not renovate its fan midway area outside the track. The focus will be on the frontstretch grandstands.
The track said the dates of its races — including all February Speedweeks activity and the July 4 race week — will be unaffected next year. It's unclear how construction could affect the track's events beyond next year.
"Obviously if we're going to do anything different than what we do (now), we'll let everybody know," DIS President Joie Chitwood III said. "Right now, we're just trying to get through '14."
In addition, there will be no capacity change for the 2014 Daytona 500; the capacity decrease "could occur in stages," the track said. Once the capacity is set at 101,000, there would be a potential to add 24,000 permanent seats if there was a demand.
"We will take great care of our loyal existing customers throughout this renovation," ISC President John Saunders said. "They can expect to receive additional direct communication as we proceed with construction."
The project will break ground July 5 before the Coke Zero 400 weekend.
Chitwood said ticket prices will not dramatically increase as a result of the reconstruction and some seats on the frontstretch will be repriced to be more affordable, which would replace the cheaper tickets offered on the Superstretch, which is going away.
"We're not going to turn around and leverage our ticket prices," Chitwood said. "We will have to reprice the mix so that we have good opportunities on the frontstretch."

Water issues are not new to South Florida. For years we've worked to restore the Everglades and sought to better understand the limitations of our water resources.
In the past, our region has taken water for granted. Today, we realize our economic vitality and way of life are linked to water — we realize we must change our ways and assume responsibility for protecting our water resources and providing for the future.
That's why Broward County is working with the region in developing sustainable water use practices and plans that protect our water resources. We understand that we must work together to create Working Water Solutions.

As the season gets near, you should have goals in mind for yourself and team. It is important to have goals because these goals are what drive you thru the hard times if you have a true passion for wanting to complete them. If you don't have the desire to set goals then I'm going to guess you don't want to improve as much as the opposition. But, then again if you are taking the time to read my blog then I bet you are trying to improve your game.
Setting goals is important. It is good to set short term goals so that you have something to focus on in the near future. But, these goals should all be aiming towards your long term goals. That way if you don't meet one of you short term goals then it should drive you to improve your game to make up for your long term goals. I think that is an important part of goal setting.
Your goals should be realist and apply to this lacrosse season only. If you are younger, you goals should be something like I want to improve my weak hand so that I can use it in the games. And your long term goal could be to score one goal with your weak hand in a game. But, if you are older you goal might want to be more team oriented, like if you are a defensemen. Your goal could be that you don't want to get any penalties in a game so you don't put your team in a bad spot. And you long term goal for the season could be to have the best man down unit in the state.
I think it is better to make goals that are about improving you game and not worried about numbers. That way if you don't meet your numbers it isn't such a disappointment. These goals without numbers are harder to gauge if you completed them. But these types of goals will make you happier if you do complete them.
So, here is your task for this season. Set five short term goals. One to be completed by the time the season starts and the other four divided though out the season. Then set three long term goals to be completed by the end of the season. WRITE THEM DOWN. Then give a copy to your coach if, he hasn't already talk to you about your goals. Put these put so you can see them everyday, even a place where others that care about you can see them. Like your school locker or bathroom mirror. Then try your hardest to complete your goals. If you do complete them, it will make feel so good about yourself and want more. Which is a great thing, because then you will want to apply the goal setting rules you learned here and apply them to your life.

Bill Cleary, a Buffalo State College graduate who taught high school social studies at Lake Shore High before leaving for California to work in marketing for high-tech clients such as Apple and Amazon, is returning to Buffalo for a lecture Tuesday in the Burchfield Penney Art Center.
Cleary, who worked at Apple in the early 1980s and later started a marketing and advertising firm, will discuss "How Apple and Steve Jobs Changed Marketing."
The Northern California resident lived here for about a dozen years while studying anthropology and secondary education at Buffalo State and then teaching high school.
"I haven't been back in more than 30 years. I'm looking forward to it," Cleary said in an interview.
Cleary got his start in advertising as a freelance copywriter, making extra money in the summers, before leaving teaching in 1978 for a full-time job with Mainspring Advertising, where his clients included Welch's and Standard Brands.
In 1981, after a stint at an advertising firm in Syracuse where he worked on the "Pepsi Challenge" campaign, he applied for a job with Apple after reading a Time magazine cover story about the company and the charismatic Jobs, who died in 2011.
He started out in sales promotion and eventually headed up all of the marketing communications for the Apple II line of products, including the IIe and IIc computers and related software.
Apple sought to differentiate its products from the competition, Cleary said. "It was always about radical ease of use, and making computers accessible for the masses," he said.
Cleary said Jobs "Version 1.0" – he was in his first go-round with the company and not yet the legend of the iPod, iPhone and iPad – was a brilliant, self-assured young man who already was instrumental in Apple's rise as a corporation.
"He was certainly a spiritual and intellectual leader of the company," he said.
Cleary left Apple in 1985 to work at a startup, International Solutions, before launching Cleary Communications in 1987.
The company, later named CKS Group after he joined partners Mark Kvamme and Tom Suiter, went public in 1995.
"We were known as the Web company," said Cleary.
Their clients also included eBay and Yahoo, and CKS did pioneering work in the mid-1990s on building company websites.
Many of CKS employees were ex-Apple workers, and the agency's work for the tech giant included the marketing campaign for the Newton, an early PDA that was a rare flop for Apple. "The product wasn't successful, but the marketing was great," Cleary said dryly.
He left CKS in 1998 and later served as chairman of the board of Matchmaker.com. Most recently, the semiretired Cleary has consulted, volunteered, coached lacrosse and lectured at Santa Clara University.
He said he'll enjoy revisiting the Elmwood Strip, where he tended bar at J.P. Bullfeathers while in college, and seeing some former Lake Shore High School colleagues who plan to attend his lecture.
Cleary will speak at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Burchfield Penney's Tower Auditorium, 1300 Elmwood Ave. The lecture is free and open to the public.

A longtime hockey fan and Los Angeles Kings diehard, it was only a matter of time before Peck gathered some of his co-stars for a trip to see the Detroit Red Wings play at Joe Louis Arena. Peck enlisted two of his best friends on the set, neither of whom had been to a hockey game before.
But before witnessing his Kings' historic Stanley Cup win, Peck was just enjoying a fun night with two of his co-stars. After the Red Wings game, they were invited to a birthday party held by some of the local "Red Dawn" crew. With filming set to continue the following morning, the group wasn't planning on spending much time reveling. But the evening took an interesting turn when a group of Red Wings players suddenly arrived.

Do Bilateral Investment Treaties Promote Foreign Direct Investment? Some Hints from Alternative Evidence
Jason W. Yackee
University of Wisconsin Law School
March 22, 2010
University of Wisconsin Legal Studies Research Paper No. 1114
In this article I present a multi-method examination of whether bilateral investment treaties, or BITs, are likely to promote inflows of foreign direct investment. Using regression analysis I show that BITs are not meaningfully correlated with measures of political risk, and using survey evidence I show that providers of political risk insurance do not reliably take BITs into account when deciding the terms of insurance. Nor do in-house counsel in large U.S. corporations view BITs as playing a major role in their companies' foreign investment decisions. In contrast to existing empirical studies, which claim to prove that BITs can have massive positive impacts on FDI, my results suggest that such results are probably spurious. BITs are unlikely to be a significant driver of foreign investment.

Taylor Swift appears to be taking her love life in a new direction.
The "Never Ever Getting Back Together" singer is seemingly taking her lyrics to heart as she moves on from recent ex, Conor Kennedy, and enjoys the company of One Direction hottie Harry Styles.
"I had to literally do a double-take," an onlooker tells PEOPLE of finding Styles, 18, with Swift, 22, on the set of The X Factor Thursday morning.
Styles was on hand to watch Swift rehearse the debut of "State of Grace," which she performed later that night on the Fox reality show.
"He was smiling at her while she rehearsed. When she was done he jumped up on stage, picked her up, put her over his shoulder and carried her off stage," the onlooker says. "The whole crew was really surprised."
The young singers were also spotted by X Factor host Mario Lopez, who says he was slapped on the back by Styles during Swift's rehearsal.
"I said, 'What are you doing here,' " Lopez said on his 104.3 MY FM radio show Friday. "And he sort of [pointed] toward Taylor."
Lopez went on to say he later saw the two "hand-in-hand."
A telling sign of the budding relationship may have been a look Styles shared with his bandmate Niall Horan a week earlier after Horan told PEOPLE his favorite song of 2012 was Swift's "Never Ever Getting Back Together."
When asked if he would ever date Swift, Horan gave a small laugh, looked at Styles and answered with a succinct, "no."

The Charleston Trident Association of Realtors released its February home sales figures last week, reporting another month of improved sales volume and prices.
That's been constant for more than a year, but the group's latest report added something new: a "watch" list highlighting particularly strong areas in the region.
In Charleston County, the upper Charleston peninsula is on the list because of less inventory and growing sales last year.
The area had 20 home sales last month, up from 11 in February 2012. Inventory remains low with roughly 100 homes on the market.
In Berkeley County, Daniel Island made the list with 19 homes sold for a median price of $573,300 in Feb-ruary.
That's 171 percent jump insales and a 28 percent price increase compared to the month a year ago.
The Summerville/Ridgeville area is on the list for Dorchester County. The area saw 74 homes sold in February, 25 more than the month a year ago.
The association also is looking for feedback from agents and homeowners who are affected by higher flood insurance premiums.

Let me rephrase this, just in case Alissa is reading this thread.
Let me rephrase this, just in case Alissa is reading this thread.
beginning. Who would have thought she would have come back to win the GP final? See you in Omaha....
I for one expected her to continue. I think she wants to be an Olympian. She has her work cut out for her. But she has as much right as anyone to try. Despite all her struggles, nationals would not be the same without her.
It's funny that Rachel Flatt said almost the same thing last year and people here were not nearly as supportive.
Even though Rachael was injured at Worlds she still manged to place 11th. As oppsoed to Alissa who placed 22nd.
Good for you Alissa, good for you!!
I watch figure skating because it is a vulnerable and unpredictable sport (removing politics and questionable judging aside). The beauty in the sport is not merely in the win, but the personal journey and the story each skaters brings on the day facing their own sets of odds and history, both the highs and lows.
US skating would certainly have lost a large part of its aesthetic beauty without Alissa these past years. It is strange considering fragility is a usually a natural characteristic of beauty, yet can be quite unforgiving in the face of national pride.
Amen to all this! So glad that Alissa will continue in the sport!
Re: Rachael, we were so thrilled for her that she skated very well in her Nationals free skate. It was great to see that happen too, and we loved her reaction afterwards.
That's good to hear. I wouldn't want Alissa to go out on a bad note.

New Parkland safety issue: Hospital police violated protocols, letting patients and visitors slip into ER with weapons
Federal safety monitors' latest report on Parkland Memorial Hospital finds that many familiar dangers remain despite a year of intensive oversight, as my colleagues Miles Moffeit and Sherry Jacobson report today.
The monitors also identified a new type of safety breakdown: Parkland's police department has been doing a poor job of screening incoming ER patients and visitors for weapons.
There were "a number of events in December and January with potentially dangerous objects not detected," the monitors wrote. "Checkpoint officers were not consistently adhering to Parkland protocols."
The officers' performance improved after retraining, the report says.
An investigation by The News recently identified another problem with the Parkland police force: poor investigation of allegations that caregivers sexually abused patients. No one was arrested in 25 cases the newspaper reviewed, and some people involved in the cases alleged cover-ups. Hospital officials say there has been no effort "to suppress or overlook incidents."

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. — Walk down any nature trail, field or patch of woods in the Fredericksburg area, and you pass by a veritable feast of edible plants.
But most people don't know the difference between the edible and tasty false nettle, and poison hemlock — both of which grow along the Rappahannock River.
So, Hal Wiggins, a local environmental scientist, and Lytton J. Musselman, a botanist and professor at Old Dominion University, spent three years researching not only which common plants along the East Coast are good, and safe, to eat, but also where to find them, and how to identify and cook them.
The result is their new book, "The Quick Guide to Wild Edible Plants," (Johns Hopkins University Press, $18).
"It's just the essentials for people who want to go out and forage," said Wiggins, who has spent much of his career prowling area forests and waterways as a scientist with the Army Corps of Engineers' field office in Fredericksburg.
The book includes more than 50 edible plants, separated by category: greens, starches, grains, flowers and sweets. There are pictures for easy reference and recipes.
For example, false nettle, a mild-tasting green, can be substituted for or mixed with spinach.
Orange day lilies are said to be especially good: The blossoms can be mixed with salad, pickled or fried, along with the small, tuberous roots, which, according to the book, have a "mild and crunchy texture."
Many of the edibles can be found in and around marshes and wetlands. Abundant American lotus in tidal creeks along the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers produce "delicious" seeds that can be eaten raw or roasted.
There's a chapter on a few common, easy-to-identify fungi, including oyster mushrooms and hen of the woods, and how to cook them. Giant puffballs can be cut into steaks and fried.
How to make your own condiments, wild garlic powder, for example, and herbs to flavor cocktails, aperitifs and cordials are included, along with a section on poisonous plants to avoid.
Wiggins says Musselman, one of his college professors and mentor, contacted him a few years ago about another project that ultimately led to the collaboration on this book.
"He asked me for help on a project identifying and documenting native plants of the Chesapeake Bay," Wiggins said in a recent interview. "Plants of the Chesapeake Bay," by Musselman and David A. Knepper, came out last year.
Musselman then asked Wiggins to work with him on a volume on wild edible plants.
Musselman "told me there's probably 50 books out there" on the topic, "but not one gives details on how to forage for it, and how to cook and eat it," Wiggins said.
Along with field research, they scoured available books, "and we found that a lot of these purportedly edible plants aren't worth the time."
For example, lichens, a combination fungus and algae, are edible, "but just try getting the sand out of the things."
Arrow arum, a prolific plant with arrowhead-like leaves found in area marshes, is said to be edible. Colonial English explorers described American Indians eating them.
"We tried five different ways to prepare them," Wiggins said. One was acceptable, "but it was just too time-intensive."
Wiggins says he and Musselman tried out recipes on each other and friends.
The authors note that the bounty from fields, forests, marshes and ponds is seasonal, though some are available most of the year.
An amateur historian, artist and avid paddler, Wiggins rents a small studio on a corner of the Friends of the Rappahannock building on Fall Hill Avenue to pursue his after-work interests.
He has written two other books on plants, "Virginia Wetland Plants," and "Virginia Native Plants." Wiggins is co-founder of the Fredericksburg chapter of the Native Plant Society.
Wiggins pointed out half-a-dozen edible plants on the forest trail winding through the FOR property.
He says he first got interested in eating wild plants in the early 1980s as a student at Old Dominion, "while getting the botany bug from (Musselman)."
One of Wiggins' favorite wild foods: white oak acorns. The nuts were an Indian staple, and have fed deer, turkeys and other wildlife for eons.
But before they can be eaten by humans, the acidic tannin must be mostly removed by boiling the acorns several times and draining off the water. Shells removed, the nuts are dried in a warm oven on a cookie sheet, then ground into flour.
Wiggins adds honey to the mixture, then spreads it on a brownie pan and bakes it.
"It's very tasty and nutritious, packed with carbohydrates and proteins. It tastes like brownies," he said.

Although breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American women, over 2.8 million breast cancer survivors are alive in America today thanks to improved screening, more informed diagnoses, and better treatments. Support from research organizations like the American Cancer Society has helped to make some of these treatment advances possible.
Breast cancer symptoms vary widely-from lumps to swelling to skin changes-and many breast cancers have no obvious symptoms at all. Breastcancer.org , whose mission is to provide information and community to those touched by this disease, recommends that monthly breast self-exams be part of your regular health care routine, and you should visit your doctor if you experience breast changes. If you're over 40 or at a high risk for the disease, you should also have an annual mammogram and physical exam by a doctor.
During Breast Cancer Awareness month in October, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM is supporting the fight against breast cancer by donating 15% from the purchases in this collection to the American Cancer Society. From pink plants to pink roses with pink ribbons, it's a beautiful gift for a beautiful cause: the fight for life.

How much of London 2012 did you actually watch live? Despite the awesome 'watch again' coverage on the BBC's website, didn't you wish you could have got home from work and watched Ennis, Farah, Tweddle or Ainslie (Ben, not Harriot) 'as live' on your TV instead of waiting for Gabby Logan's 10pm spoiler-saturated round-up show?
Well, you could have done just that simply by going backwards in the electronic programme guide and watching it on-demand. Welcome to YouView, the big terrestrial broadcaster's answer to the so-called smart TVs that rarely go beyond hosting BBC iPlayer.
Connected TVs have existed for a few years now, but have so far led a fractured existence. So for those frustrated by separate apps, missing services and stodgy user interfaces comes YouView, a service that's designed with catch-up TV at its core.
We tested the new service on the only YouView set-top box so far available – the Humax DTR-T1000, a Freeview HD recorder that costs £299. BT, one of YouView's owners, will likely make a less costly box available soon.
While it begins life purely as a catch-up & on demand service supplying fully integrated content only from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Five, YouView can develop beyond that. It's already started hosting its first major third-party app in the shape of Sky's Now TV, but what about Lovefilm or Netflix or Acetrax streaming? Could we see YouTube?
That all remains to be seen, though as it stands YouView is a smart upgrade on Freeview, and a subscription-free challenge to Sky and Virgin.
Although tuning-in Freeview HD channels and getting online (complete with a brief warning about data usage) is easy, we were slightly flummoxed by the appearance of a 'Before we go on…' page that insisted we accept the Terms of Use to 'make the most' of YouView.
They're 101 pages long and basically state that if you exceed your ISP's data cap it's your own fault (though there's no advice on how much data is used by, say, an hour's catch-up TV in HD quality. Clue: it's about 2GB), and that cookies are used to collect anonymous data from you, including your preferences and individual settings. Basically, YouView is watching you watching it.
With our YouView box switched on we're presented with a live TV channel with a blue-and black 'on now' panel along the bottom of the screen. It looks innocuous, but it's hugely powerful; scroll up and down to change the channel or – and this is the good part – move to the 'on now' panel and scroll back in time.
Delving back into the schedules earlier that day (it only goes back to midnight on this view), it's possible to watch anything that has a label underneath reading 'to watch on-demand, press OK'.
Plenty of programmes say 'not available' – anything from the US such as Family Guy or Frasier is a nailed-on 'not available' – but if you do find something on-demand, selecting it takes you straight to the relevant on-demand app.
For instance, we were watching the Olympics on BBC Three at midday and found Girl Power: Going For Gold back in the schedules at 5am; once selected, we're taken to the BBC iPlayer title page, but the programme then plays almost immediately. The whole process takes about 10 seconds.
Best Freeview HD TV
Similarly, skip to Channel 4 and delve back into early morning and Come Dine With Me can be loaded up via 4oD (albeit after OK-ing some more terms of use). The only differences here are that on 4oD you do get a short advert, and then 33 seconds of, err, more adverts.
A 'You're watching 4oD on YouView' audio message plays and, finally, a 'We are sorry this content is unavailable' message and, amusingly, an error code. Nice. OK, so we didn't actually want to watch Come Dine With Me, but, seriously? Why was it flagged as available in the EPG if it wasn't actually on 4oD?
Locating Born To Kill: Harold Shipman on Channel 5's early morning schedules, Demand 5 fires up in around a minute, plays an advert, then plays the programme with no problems, though it was the only title among dozens that was available (kids TV shows such as Peppa Pig or Bananas in Pyjamas didn't appear to be available).
ITV Player has a similar problem with rights: we found Jeremy Kyle: USA a few hours back in ITV2's schedules in among mostly US-based (and therefore not on-demand) shows. After a very brief advert the programme played quickly.
Although this generally works OK, we can't impress enough that delving back into TV schedules to peruse on-demand content only works on the terrestrial channels; BBC, ITV, Channel Four and Channel Five.
It's also worth remembering that it can take up to a day or so before something becomes available on catch-up.
Incidentally, moving forward in the schedules on all channels sees a 'To set reminder press OK' message appear beneath the programme title, though it's just as easy to press the red button to set a recording if you're using a YouView PVR (you get a choice between recording once or setting a series link).
This back-and-forthing is all well and good, but it's worth remembering that Virgin Media's TiVo set-top box has had an identical (and mostly successful, though frequently unreliable) feature for over a year.

A seagull manager is an absent / occasional manager who wants to be seen to be doing something useful but realy has no contribution. To make up for this they turn up from time to time and flap around making sure they tell eveyone what a wonderful job they're doing while at the same time dengrating or undermining the real work being done by their happless underlings.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Susie Snags on the garment were disappointing My grandson was tickled, but both his mother and I were disappointed at the number of snags on a $100 Kane Premier Blackhawks jersey. My grandson's birthday was the next day, and his birthday was going to a Blackhawks game. Since he needed to wear the jersey immediately, we didn't have time to exchange it. I just wish someone would have checked out the garment more carefully before shipping. Otherwise he was impressed with the quality of the "real" emblem, etc. and loved the jersey. December 27, 2014

Candace Cameron Bure kicked off her career at age 10, starring in the popular series Full House. Since the series wrapped in '95, the actress got married, had three kids and wrote two books. She's been paired with two-time mirror ball winning champ Mark Ballas for season 18 of Dancing with the Stars, and she'll be sharing her experience with PEOPLE readers.
It's the finale!!
We've had so much drama the last few weeks, I haven't been able to keep up with my blog. I'm writing this Monday morning and I still have no idea what is going to happen tonight.
Mark's shoulder popped out during rehearsal on Sunday and he was taken to the hospital. They couldn't see exactly what happened from the x-ray, and Mark is getting an MRI this morning. It's still unclear at this point as to whether or not he'll be able to dance with me in the finale tonight.
Because of yesterday's events, I went back to our practice studio and rehearsed both dances with another pro, Artem (who is fantastic) just in case Mark is sidelined. The show must go on ... but I'm praying Mark will be okay. I can't imagine getting to the end of this journey and not being with my partner.
I also suffered a minor injury yesterday during the same trick Mark was hurt. After Mark went down, my back went into spasm and stopped me in my tracks. I had some therapy work on it yesterday, but it's in terrible pain and I also bruised my rib. I'm hoping it doesn't get worse during our camera blocking rehearsal this afternoon. We will take whatever precautions we can so I don't aggravate it more.
The last two weeks have been physically and mentally exhausting. The producers and pros told me how grueling the finale week would be, but it doesn't compare to what my definition of crazy is – it's totally insane. We're all exhausted, we've had no sleep and we're practicing about 12 hours a day – and that doesn't include all the press and life with family in between.
Our freestyle dance is filled with muscle moves, and the practice leading up to choreographing the routine burned my body out before it was even complete. At this point, it's all a mental game. The finish line is so close, our bodies are suffering, but it's no time to stop or look back.
I wouldn't change this experience for the world. It's been amazing and I want to thank everyone who has taken this journey with me. I know I am not the best technical dancer left in the race, but this mama of three with no prior experience has worked as hard as everyone else and I'm so proud of my progression along the way. Life's experiences are more often about the journey and not the prize.
I hope you enjoy tonight's show. If Mark and I are safe from elimination tonight, please vote for us! 1-800-VOTE4-07 and online at ABC.com and on the show's Facebook page. Online voting will be open for 24 hours and will determine the winner!! Don't forget that all countries are able to vote online!

Five major forces are dramatically altering the pharmaceutical industry's revenue models and creating new notions of value. These forces are hastening the arrival of an outcomes-based world in which the value of a drug tracks more closely with its impact on patient health. Significant barriers remain, particularly between drug manufacturers and health insurers. This report explores possible paths for pharmaceutical companies to unlock value, improve clinical and economic evidence, and continue to build transparency with other health organizations.
Companies in the pharmaceutical and life sciences sector face a fundamental challenge in the United States: demonstrating the fully realized value of their therapies in the face of intense competition from generics and rising total medical costs.
Branded pharmaceutical companies spend about $50 billion per year in drug development. And while the next-generation therapies are more targeted, they're also more expensive. Health plans and providers, meanwhile, are becoming more sophisticated buyers and focusing on total cost of care, quality outcomes, and how drugs influence that.
Relationships among health insurers and pharmaceutical companies are as unsettled today as they've ever been. To determine insurers' views on topics such as quality of evidence submissions, contracting strategies, and relationships with pharmaceutical companies, HRI conducted interviews and surveyed US health insurers and pharmaceutical benefits managers (PBMs). One theme that emerged from the research is a broad consensus that drug manufacturers and health plans need to accelerate efforts to deliver better outcomes for patients.
This report explores possible paths for pharmaceutical companies to unlock value, improve clinical and economic evidence, and build trust with other health organizations and pharmaceutical companies.
Among the findings:
In this new environment, health plans and health systems may demand that a drug first demonstrate significantly more clinical benefit than existing treatment options, sometimes over a long period. Additionally, insurers and hospitals alike want to see how a drug reduces the total cost of care, reduces unnecessary or ineffective treatments, or improves quality of life. New ways to quantify these changes will impact how drugs are researched, marketed, manufactured, and priced.

Existing MetroPCS customers will migrate to T-Mobile's network
The merger of Richardson-based MetroPCS with T-Mobile USA will spell the end of the PCS brand and, eventually, its network.
The carrier's 9 million customers will be moved over to T-Mobile's LTE network as they upgrade their handsets, T-Mobile CEO John Legere said on a conference call today explaining the deal. Legere said he expects MetroPCS' high device turnover rate — 65 percent — will enable the new company to migrate existing customers onto a different network by 2015.
"We are not going to smash together two networks with differing technologies," Legere said. "T-Mobile's HSPA+ LTE network has capacity to begin to accomodate new and upgraded MetroPCS subscribers almost immediately."
"Because of how we are going to let customer lead this transition, we expect minimal customer losses during the transition," he said.
Post-2015, MetroPCS' spectrum will be repurposed to serve T-Mobile's LTE subscribers.
Yesterday, some analysts questioned how two companies with different network technologies would fuse the two. T-Mobile's message to investors and customers is the deal makes sense because it combines two companies that compete on price with the giant wireless carriers including Dallas-based AT&T.
"With this combination, we form the leading value carrier in the US wireless market," Deutsche Telekom CEO Rene Obermann said.

Business in brief
The new location combining the Toys 'R Us and Babies 'R Us brands will hold its grand opening Friday, Oct. 12 at 11801 W. Broad St. Giveaways, discounts, kid-friendly activities and visits from popular costumed characters will continue throughout the weekend, Oct. 12-14. In conjunction with the grand opening, the Toys 'R Us Children's Fund has awarded a $10,000 grant to Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia to support wish fulfillment in Richmond-area communities.
The Virginia Water Well Association (VWWA) recently donated a new water well to the ACE (Another Chance to Excel) Program. When ACE approached Curtis Drilling about the cost of a well for ACE's Urban Garden Program, owner Curtis Bordewyk decided to nominate ACE as the potential recipient of a new well gifted during the VWWA's Annual Training Day Event. The training day is designed to help the men and women engaged in the water well construction industry meet the challenges of the ever-changing technology used in well construction. On Sept. 28, at the Creighton Road campus of St. Paul's Baptist Church, 150 student drillers received instruction on well drilling and pump testing. VWWA then gifted the well, used in its demonstration, to ACE. The ACE Program is an organization that aids ex-offenders and disadvantaged youth with their transition back into the community.
On Saturday, Oct. 6, participating Southern States locations will offer specially marked "pink" items for sale, with a portion of the proceeds going to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Use the store locator at http://www.southerstates.com to find a participating location.

Well water tests positive for dirty bacteria
Published 10:39 AM EDT Mar 21, 2013
City officials in Sanford say a water well tested positive for possible fecal matter.
The well shows an unacceptable level of dirty bacteria. The water was not going directly to the public, according to city officials.
The well was taken out of service Wednesday. It will be replaced with a new one.
City managers said customers do not need to boil their water.

STRUTHERS - Seventeen points separated Wellsville junior Nate Scott from career point number 1,000 entering Saturday night's Division IV sectional final.
With a basket at 6:09 of the fourth quarter, Scott eclipsed the milestone in leading the top-seeded Tigers past Western Reserve, 62-46, at the Struthers Fieldhouse.
"I had no clue and then the referee stopped the game and told me, 'You just scored your 1,000th point,'" said Scott, who finished with 23 points. "I couldn't do it without my teammates and coaches. My teammates get hot and that helps me."
The junior guard is averaging 21.5 points a game this season, and in his last outing against Western Reserve, torched the Blue Devils for 30 points.
"They're a good team, but my teammates just kick it out to me," Scott said. "I never want to get frustrated out there because if I do, then I won't play as well. I just want to keep my head in the game and once I see one go through it just builds confidence."
Wellsville improves to 20-3 and will take on third-seeded Lowellville at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in a district semifinal. Lowellville defeated Lake Center Christian, 50-41, in Saturday's nightcap.
Fact Box
W. RESERVE SCORING: Cole Smith 1-0-3, Tim Cooper 1-0-2,Payton Snyder 1-0-2, Joe Falasca 3-2-8, Dalton Korda 5-0-11, Joe Wisniewski 3-0-9, Kyle Hilles 0-0-0, Nick Tobin 3-0-6, Nolan Snyder 2-0-5. TOTALS: 20: 2-7: 46
WELLSVILLE: Camden Douglas 4-0-9, Nate Scott 9-3-23, Antonio Fultz 2-2-7, Seth Bradford 2-0-4, Brendan Carr 2-1-5, Jantsen Stoakes 0-0-0, Mitchell Reiner 0-0-0, Jordan Sloan 3-1-9, Sam McIntosh 1-0-2, Nick Bayer 1-0-3, Nick Fellure 0-0-0, Tyshawn Franklin 0-0-0. TOTALS: 24, 7-12: 62
Three-pointers: Western Reserve 6 (Wisniewski 3, Smith, Korda, N. Snyder), Wellsville 7 (Scott 2, Sloan 2, Douglas, Fultz, Bayer)
"We've played both of them and beat them," Wellsville coach Dave Thompson said. "We played Lake Center in the tournament and beat them. We beat Lowellville twice this year."
Western Reserve wanted to come into Saturday's game slow things down against a high-octane Wellsville offense. The Blue Devils' venture proved unsuccessful.
"We are sending three people back in transition and they're still beating us down the floor," Western Reserve coach Tim King said. "We are running to the paint and they're spotting up for three-point shots. They are a really good offense of team and you know what, they are a good defensive team too."
Wellsville's defense set the tone early for the rest of the night. The Tigers forced six turnovers in the first quarter alone. Offensively, the Tigers pushed the issue and maximized the Blue Devils' mistakes by running the floor.
"That's what we wanted to do, push the tempo and not get into a half court game," Thompson said. "We wanted to push the issue. Nate got out and ran the floor tonight and played well."
If there was an Achilles' heel for the Tigers, it came on the offensive glass. Wellsville allowed Western Reserve's first six points to come on second chance opportunities.
"We just got on a couple guys about not boxing out because they were standing there watching instead of putting a body on them," Thompson said. "Once we started getting a body on them we were fine. We didn't rebound in the first quarter."
Jordan Sloan and Camden Douglas each tallied nine points for the Tigers. Douglas also had six rebounds.
The Tigers' season sweep of Western Reserve comes on the heels of the Blue Devils' opening round victory over Heartland Christian. Despite two wins against Western Reserve earlier this year, Thompson knew what he could expect from King's group.
"It's hard when you're playing against a coach (Tim King) like that because you never know what he's going to do, he has a lot of experience," Thompson said. "They have more confidence I think the kids think they already beat them so they know they can beat them. They weren't worried but I was. The kids came out and played though."
Dalton Korda paced the Blue Devils with 11 points. Joe Wisniewski added nine points and Joe Falasca eight.
"I'm very pleased with my four seniors they have played hard all year long, they were in some tough circumstances we weren't winning a lot of games," King said. "And a lot of times, you tend to lose your senior kids. But my four seniors stuck it out and played hard the whole year and I'm very happy about that."
After Wellsville secured its first Inter-Tri County League lower tier title in five years, the junior-laden group sets it's sights on continuing to move on in the tournament with no intention on letting off the gas.
"We just run in practice so we have the ability to run with anyone," Scott said. "Our best offense is our defense; fast break, get the rebound and go. That's our best offense."
Game Notes
Michael Johnston was the last player to surpass the 1,000-point mark for the Tigers in 2011.
Western Reserve finished the season at 9-15, including three losses to Wellsville.
Wellsville defeated Lowellville 57-48 and 54-47 in ITCL play this season.
Ticket's for Tuesday night's game will be on sale Monday and Tuesday in the Wellsville High School office.

The Arab Awakening: America and the Transformation of the Middle Eastby Kenneth M. Pollack Daniel L. Byman Bruce Jones Ibrahim Sharqieh Suzanne Maloney Khaled Elgindy Michael S. Doran Jonathan D. Pollack Sarah E. Yerkes Shibley Telhami Stephen R. Grand Pavel Baev Mer Taspinar Salman Shaikh Akram Al-Turk Shadi Hamid Bruce O. Riedel Ruth Hanau Santini
Even the most seasoned Middle East observers were taken aback by the events of early 2011. Protests born of oppression and socioeconomic frustration erupted throughout the streets; public unrest provoked violent police backlash; long-established dictatorships fell. How did this all happen? What might the future look like, and what are the likely ramifications for the United States and the rest of the world? In The Arab Awakening, experts from the Brookings Institution tackle such questions to make sense of this tumultuous region that remains at the heart of U.S. national interests.The first portion of The Arab Awakening offers broad lessons by analyzing key aspects of the Mideast turmoil, such as public opinion trends within the "Arab Street"; the role of social media and technology; socioeconomic and demographic conditions; the influence of Islamists; and the impact of the new political order on the Arab-Israeli peace process.The next section looks at the countries themselves, finding commonalties and grouping them according to the political evolutions that have (or have not) occurred in each country. The section offers insight into the current situation, and possible trajectory of each group of countries, followed by individual nation studies. The Arab Awakening brings the full resources of Brookings to bear on making sense of what may turn out to be the most significant geopolitical movement of this generation. It is essential reading for anyone looking to understand these developments and their consequences.

The tougher the competition during the regular season, the better prepared the Wolverines will be come playoff time.
That's Truckee volleyball coach Erika Murphy's philosophy when it comes to scheduling tournaments against schools several times the size of Truckee. And that was the case again this past weekend as the Wolverines competed in the Davis High Tournament in California, where they finished 1-3.
"The tournament afforded us quite a bit of learning about our stamina and communication on the court in a stressful situation — something that will stick longer in our minds as we prepare for the league season," Murphy said.
Truckee opened the tournament with a win against Kennedy from the Sacramento area, 25-8, 25-13, then followed with a loss to Ponderosa (Shingle Springs), 18-25, 24-26, and another to Rodriguez (Fairfield), 25-13, 13-25, 13-15.
That placed the Wolverines in the silver division for the afternoon, with a match against International from San Francisco. After Truckee won the first game, 25-21, International took the second game, 25-22, to force a third game playoff. Taxed from their previous matches, the Wolverines fell in the deciding set, 13-15.
Senior libero Kestlie Stefanelli was Truckee's Player of the Match against Kennedy, recording 11 digs. Mackenzie Redner tallied nine kills as Becca Berelson and Gabby Moretti each had two. Nichole Riofrio had three service aces and 12 points, while Moretti had 16 assists.
Against Ponderosa, Redner had 10 kills, Riofrio had two service aces and six service points, Moretti had 13 assists, and Stefanelli and Moretti each had eight digs. Redner was Truckee's Player of the Match.
Redner finished with eight kills against Rodriguez and Mel Jones had three, while Redner had 10 service points, Moretti had 16 assists, and Redner and Stefanelli each had 13 digs.
In Truckee's final match against International, Redner smashed 15 kills, Jones had six kills and Lauren Peak four kills. Moretti had two service aces to go along with her 26 assists, and Stefanelli had 12 digs.
Truckee is now 9-9 overall.
UP NEXT: The Wolverines play at Sparks on Friday at 6 p.m.

Time Passages
The coincidences of life never cease to amaze me. After working in Dallas for over 27 years, I've known people who I had photographed when they were a child, and then again after they had grown. Other circumstances have arisen that have made me marvel at how our lives are intertwined with others.
My first job in Dallas was at the Dallas Times Herald. I started there in 1984, thanks in large part to Wayne Herdlicka, who ran the department there with Ray Adler in the late 1970s. Wayne took an interest in me as I worked at the Marshall (TX) News-Messenger, which was my first job after college. He took the time to look at my portfolio, stayed in touch and encouraged me to submit some of my feature photos for the Times Herald's "State" page that ran every day at that time. Several of my East Texas slice-of-life photos were published in the Dallas paper, which really encouraged me as a young photographer looking to "climb the ladder" to larger publications.
The Herald went out of business in 1991. Wayne had already moved on to another paper long before that.
So imagine my surprise when not long ago I was assigned at the Dallas Morning News to photograph a young, up-and-coming Broadway star who was headed to Dallas to perform at the Wyly Theatre. His name: Hunter Herdlicka.
Hunter is Wayne's son. The last time I saw Hunter was when he was about 6 months old, in a stroller in the photo department at the Times Herald offices in downtown Dallas. Now he is a handsome, talented Broadway actor who has received critical acclaim for his work, especially in playing the role of Henrik Egerman in Broadway's first-ever revival of Stephen Sondheim's "A Little Night Music," sharing the bill with acclaimed actresses Catherine Zeta Jones and Angela Lansbury.
Hunter couldn't have been nicer at the photo shoot, and we spent most of the time there catching up. I told him the last time I saw him he was in diapers. He laughed and shared several stories about his life's journey, and how much it meant to him to come back to his hometown to perform.
I told him how much his dad had helped me out early in my career, and how influential he had been in my life as I started my photojournalistic journey. Hunter seemed touched that I would remember his father so affectionately.
I left the Wyly Theatre that day feeling thankful…but old. Thankful that I had gotten a chance to meet Hunter. Old because I realized several decades had passed since I had talked with Wayne, and I don't think I ever thanked him for helping me get started in a great profession. I hope he feels his investment in me was worthwhile.
