There were few surprises Tuesday as candidates filed for the nearly 400 elected jobs up for grabs this year in townships, boroughs, school districts and in county government. The primaries are scheduled for May 21.
The race promising to draw the most attention appears to be the one shaping up between Paula Francisco Ott and Samuel C. Stretton, West Chester lawyers running for the county's newly created judgeship. Gov. Casey approved the post late last year.
Ott, an attorney with Gawthrop, Greenwood & Halstead, is the first woman ever to be endorsed for judge by the county's dominant Republican Party. She also has filed on the Democratic line. Democrat Stretton, a criminal-defense lawyer, has made unsuccessful bids for district attorney and Congress. He announced his entry into the race just last week.

Disagreements and Complaints about Special Education
Dispute Resolution Options
When you and the school district are unable to resolve differences about the contents of your student's IEP, the first step is to try to resolve the issues informally by clearly communicating your concerns to the IEP team and to the school district's representative. It is the responsibility of the district to make a final offer of what they believe to be a Free Appropriate Public Educational (FAPE) for your student. The district is required to communicate their final offer with Prior Written Notice.
If you believe the district has failed to provide a service identified on your student's IEP, believe that the district has denied your student a FAPE, or believe the district has not met any other federal or state requirements related to special education, then you may consider using one of three more formal dispute resolution options in order to resolve your disagreement. Your options are:
Visit the Special Education Dispute Resolution page for further details on each of these options.
Questions about your dispute resolution options can be directed to the Special Education Parent Liaison

You could try this place, its not legal to sell raw milk in Scotland but apparently you can ship it here from England...
Hi everyone
I've spent my lunch today sourcing out a few local organic dairy farms to look into acquiring some raw milk. The problem in Scotland is that the sale of raw milk and cream is illegal, so the only way around this for me is to try and enter a cow share agreement so that I'm paying for the 'board' and looking after of the cow/herd in which I have a share, rather than paying for the milk itself. In return, I get raw milk.
But how on earth should I go about trying to do this??? Has anyone reading this done it before? Should I just send an email to the farm (if I can get an email address) enquiring if they might be willing to go through with something like this? I would imagine it's quite uncommon so they might not have even heard of it!
Would appreciate any advice, thank you!

Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate.
I do this in the US. Basically you just have to be comfortable with the owner. I personally knew people that were a part of this cow share for over 7 years. The one I belong to has even been checked out by the state and basically they were allowed to continue to operate as is. It aint cheap. I paid $100 for the share plus $32 a month for "boarding" and I get 4 gallons a month for that. But, organic milk is about $8 a gallon around me anyhow so not far off.
They call them "Condo Cows" in Alaska. Same idea. You buy a share of cow, and you get the raw milk. I also have a friend who does this with her goats. It's a common way to get around dumb laws.
You could check here, there apparently is a cow share scheme in Scotland but they dont do raw milk.. however its the only thing I could find Scotland - Weston A. Price Foundation - London Chapter (London, England) - Meetup
Looks like distribution of Raw milk is illegal here under any situation, so it wouldn't be legal to do through a cow share ether.

Best part about the farm we work with is, if you ever decide you don't want to do it anymore, the farmer buys his share back, so you're basically out nothing...

We are in a cow share here in NZ. We pay $100/yr to join the share and then $7 per liter of yogurt, $5 for cream, and $3 for whole milk. We have to make our own butter from the cream (and butter milk), which we haven't started yet (we buy the yogurt, and we buy ready-done butter from a local, non raw dairy). I suppose i could butter and then clarify. hmm. interesting idea.

Boom, Bust, or Prosperity? Managing Sub-Saharan Africa's Natural Resource Wealthby Alun H. Thomas Robert C. York Charlotte J. Lundgren
Sizeable natural resource endowments and potentially large financial inflows from their extraction provide an unparalleled opportunity for economic growth and development in a growing number of sub-Saharan African countries. Empirical evidence suggests, however, that translating this resource wealth into stronger economic performance and a higher standard of living has proven challenging. Much has been written about the resource curse. This publication focuses on solutions to the challenges and outlines the main policy considerations and options in managing natural resource wealth, drawing on experience within and outside sub-Saharan Africa and referring closely to the latest analysis and policy advice in this area by the IMF, the World Bank, and leading academic research. A key feature of each chapter is a recommended reading list for those who wish additional, more in-depth material on these issues to further inform policymakers and other stakeholders on the theoretical and analytical underpinnings of the policy advice.

A former Upstate college student accused of assaulting a sleeping woman in January is also facing a sexual battery charge in Florida, News 4 has learned.
Spartanburg Methodist College baseball player Taylor Childers, 19, is being held without bond in the Spartanburg County Detention Center on charges of burglary and assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct.
News 4 has learned that Panama City Beach police have a warrant for Childers arrest for a sexual battery he allegedly committed on June 1, 2012. In the state of Florida, sexual battery is used synonymously with rape.
According to Upstate authorities, Childers was denied bond based on the charge in Spartanburg County, not because of the charge in Florida.
The Bay County Sheriff's Office in Florida is working on the extradition process, but extradition won't happen until Childers' case in Spartanburg County is over.
In the Upstate case, the woman, who says Childers attacked her, said she was able to fight him off. Deputies said the woman scratched Childers, and he ran naked from her apartment.
Officials at Spartanburg Methodist said that Childers withdrew from school immediately after being charged.
According to SMC's president, Childers and his family had already removed his belongings from the residence hall where he lived before he withdrew from the school.

Student savors role as Otters mascot
Nick Fitzsimmons endured a hard hit in the Erie Otters' first home game of this season, and he isn't even on the team.
He wasn't even on the ice at Erie Insurance Arena when he crashed face first into the rink's glass. It's a good thing his huge head cushioned the fall.
"It wasn't too bad," said Fitzsimmons, 17, a senior at Central Career and Technical School who has served as Shooter, the Ontario Hockey League club's mascot, since late in the 2009-10 season. Along with the oversized mascot head, the outfit also includes protective hockey pants and shoulder pads. Besides, he wouldn't trade the experience for anything. "There's nothing like it in the world," Fitzsimmons said.
He has met great people on the ice, in the crowd and throughout the Erie community during his time as mascot. He has enjoyed memorable moments, like the time he took a broom from a Windsor Spitfires fan expecting to see his favorite team sweep the Otters out of the 2010 playoffs. The Spitfires ended Erie's season that night. While Fitzsimmons had that broom in hand, he said, "I had fans cheering for me."
Fitzsimmons often has been the center of attention at games. That's a key aspect of his job. "Shooter is just really, really excited about getting the crowd into it," Fitzsimmons said. "If you can get a 10-year-old to drop his parents' iPhone to watch a hockey game, you did your job."
He has evolved into an enthusiastic mascot, and club officials have asked him to be more visible on the ice and interact with fans more this season.
"Being a mascot is a challenge because you have to fill many roles," said John Frey, the club's director of operations. "To kids, you are a lovable character. To some fans, you help bring energy to the crowd. To the organization, you can be the face of the franchise at times. Nick is doing a good job of balancing those different parts of the position and learning to get better in each area."
Fitzsimmons evaluates the crowd while skating around the ice before games. "I gauge how many people are in each section, how the crowd is going to react if I go over to them," he said. "If I see a busy section or a lot of kids, I definitely (head over). I like to make it up and down each and every section."
Fitzsimmons said he enjoys "putting smiles on people's faces (so they know) they're getting a good product by being there."
Club officials asked Fitzsimmons to replace his sneakers with furry paws this season. Those paws caused him to smack into the glass during the Otters' home opener Oct. 5. But he conquered a larger challenge to become the mascot three years ago.
Fitzsimmons didn't know how to skate when he learned about the job opening. He attended a couple of public skating sessions before donning the costume for the first time. "I kind of learned skating with the mascot (outfit) on," he said.
He hopes to continue as the Otters' mascot after graduating from high school. Fitzsimmons, who earns $35 per game, also dreams of becoming a professional mascot.
"That would be the best job in the world," he said.

Web-based Installation
Web-based installation from Linux is not yet supported.
If you are running Windows, you are in luck. Replacment of your existing Windows installation with Coyotos takes only a few minutes, but be aware that the desktop edition of Coyotos is still a development operating system that is not yet fully complete. Simply click install to run the installer straight from your web browser.
Setting Up A Coyotos Development Environment
The Coyotos tree is approaching the point where intrepid developers can start to experiment with it. For those of you who are curiosity junkies, here is how to go about obtaining it.
Host Operating System
The Coyotos development environment is currently supported on Fedora Core 6, Fedora 7, and Fedora 8. Some users are using other versions of Linux or BSD, but this involves some extra work and we do not actively support it. This page describes how to set yourself up on Fedora Core.
Step one: join the coyotos-dev mailing list. If you want to be notified when the source base is updated, you should also subscribe to the coyotos-commits mailing list.
Installing the Cross Compilers
The first thing to do is to install the RPM package that adds the Coyotos tool repository to your environment. To do this, you should (as root):
rpm -ivh http://www.eros-os.com/YUM/coyotos/fc8/Coyotos-Repository.fc8.noarch.rpm
If you are running Fedora Core 6 or Fedora 7, change the fc8 to either fc6 or fc7, accordingly.
Once this package is installed, you will be able to install the Coyotos cross tools. We currently provide cross compilation kits for IA-32, Coldfire, and ARM/StrongArm targets [the ARM tools are not tested by us, but are actively used by the CapROS team. Depending on your target of interest, you should run one or more of:
yum install coyotos-i386-xenv yum install coyotos-m68k-xenv yum install coyotos-arm-xenv
That may take a while. Be patient. The advantage to installing this way is that you will automatically receive updates. Occasionally we have been known to make changes to the source tree that rely on an update in the cross tools. This is happening less and less often over time, but it still happens once in a while.
If we don't supply packaged tools for your platform, the alternative is to build them yourself. Instructions for this can be found here.
Check Out the Source Code
If you don't already have it, you will need to install mercurial. We use mercurial for our source code management. You can find information about how to use mercurial at the mecurial wiki. There is a pre-packaged version of mercurial in the Fedora repository for all recent versions of Fedora. While you are installing mercurial, you may also find the colordiff package useful.
We recommend enabling the Mercurial "fetch" extension. You can do this by creating a file $HOME/.hgrc, and adding:
[extensions] hgext.fetch=
Checking out the base Coyotos tree can be done with the following command. You may wish to consider doing this within an empty directory:
hg clone http://dev.eros-os.com/hg/coyotos/trunk coyotos
Once you have the main tree checked out, you may also want to consider checking out the tutorial subtree:
cd coyotos/src hg clone http://dev.eros-os.com/hg/tutorial/trunk tutorial
The other package that is currently available is the ccs-xenv package. It should also be cloned under coyotos/src if you choose to check it out. You don't need it unless you are actively working on the cross tools (e.g. you are porting to a new target or building for a non-Fedora platform).
Building the Tree
With a bit of luck, you should now be able to build the tree with:
cd coyotos/src ./configure i386-unknown-coyotos make
Building the Documents
The default build process does not build the documentation tree. If you want that built:
cd coyotos/src ./configure --enable=docs i386-unknown-coyotos make
If you have already configured a target platform, it is sufficient to use:
cd coyotos/src ./configure --enable=docs
You can see the current state of your configuration by:
cd coyotos/src ./configure
Documentation probably will not build correctly unless you have a live connection to the internet. The culprit is xsltproc, which will be using the connection to fetch the OSDoc DTD from its canonical location. The current release of OSDoc does not provide a good solution to work around this problem. The next release of OSDoc will include an XML catalog file that will allow local access to the DTD.

Stunning Reversal: Drug Company Turned Away Dying Child Then Changed Its MindAlice Gomstyn
Update 3/11/14, 9:57 p.m.: In a stunning reversal, Chimerix has announced that it has found a way to provide seven-year-old Josh Hardy the drug brincidofovir. The company has said that it has reached an agreement with the FDA to immediately initiate "a pilot trial of open-label brincidofovir for the treatment of adenovirus infections in immunocompromised patients," including Josh, who will be enrolled tomorrow.
"Josh Hardy's story brought to public attention the often-devastating impact of adenovirus infection, and helped accelerate a discussion between the FDA and Chimerix regarding the need for additional clinical development to assess brincidofovir's potential in adenovirus infection," the company said in a statement.
Chimerix CEO Kenneth I. Moch said that being unable to fulfill requests for the drug earlier was "excruciating," while the company's clinical research vice president, Hervé Momméja-Marin, M.D., explained that the new trial will still allow the company to pursue FDA approval for the drug.
NYU bioethicist Arthur Caplan praised the pilot trial as "a good compromise."
It "looks like the pressure to find a regulatory solution that did not set the drug development back worked — (the) FDA now has a pilot study going at (Josh's hospital) only which gets the drug to Josh but does not open the floodgates to all uses at all institutions," he said. Still, he cautioned, "another child with adenovirus could appear (at another hospital) and the whole scenario will be recreated. Still, it is a good outcome for now."
To understand what initially prevented the company from releasing the drug to Josh, read below.
If doctors told you that a trial drug could save your child's life, but a pharmaceutical company refused to provide it, would you take "no" for an answer?
The parents of seven-year-old Josh Hardy certainly didn't. Last week, Aimee and Tom Hardy mounted what's since become a viral social media campaign urging anyone sympathetic to their cause to reach out to Chimerix, a small North Carolina pharmaceutical company, and pressure them to provide the drug brincidofovir to their son under what's often known as "compassionate use" — the lawful release of a drug that has yet to win FDA approval for use by a patient with a serious or life-threatening condition.
Josh, a cancer survivor, is now suffering from adenovirus after a bone marrow transplant. The doctors at St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in Tennessee are confident that oral brincidofovir is his best chance at staging a recovery, CNN reports. The St. Jude's doctors themselves have seen the drug in action in clinical studies.
As a parent, I couldn't help but view this as a nightmare scenario — a drug could save a child's life, and some bean counters said no? WHAT?
But as a reporter, this fascinated me: why on earth would any company — especially a pharmaceutical start-up that few have heard of — willingly endure such terrible publicity? Who would court infamy as the business that turned away a dying child?
If the company is to be believed, it's not just about Josh — it's about the greater good.
In a local newspaper's early report of the Josh Hardy story, Chimerix said that while they had provided the drug for compassionate use to some patients earlier (CNN later pegged the number of patients affected at more than 400), they ultimately decided to stop and "focus resources on earning FDA approval."
I read the word "resources" to mean money and, in fact, CNN later reported that it costs Chimerix $50,000 to fulfill a single compassionate use request. Josh Hardy's family told me they have access to the funds and would pay Chimerix, which reportedly receives millions in government funding, if that's what it takes to save Josh's life.
So what's the problem? I reached out to the company to find out.
A spokesman told me "there has been no discussion of the cost of this medicine" and also provided me with a statement similar to what ran in the local newspaper. He suggested I get in touch with bioethicist Dr. Arthur Caplan of NYU Langone Medical Center. Caplan said he has no ties to Chimerix but has followed the case closely.
Caplan elaborated on the risks facing Chimerix. He explained that if a patient receives a drug through a "compassionate use" request but still dies not long afterward, it'll be up to Chimerix to prove to the FDA that the drug wasn't what killed him. Doing so might take days or it could take months, derailing their efforts to win final approval for the drug. It's the sort of setback that a small company might not survive … and if it doesn't survive, the drug definitely wouldn't hit store shelves in 2016, to the detriment of "all the Joshes down the road," Caplan said.
"All the Joshes down the road, of which there could be many more, they want to be benefited," Caplan said. "There are some really tough trade-offs here."
Josh Hardy's uncle, William Burns, told me his doctors are confident the drug would work for Josh. But Caplan said that the fact that Chimerix's current clinical trials aren't targeting adenovirus — the disease now ravaging Josh — indicates that the company isn't as confident about the drug's efficacy for that condition.
Even if Josh had a great outcome, many others could lodge compassionate use requests on the heels of his. Satisfying those would open up the company and the drug to even more risk.
Caplan said that, in general, compassionate use of drugs can endanger future clinical trials. If patients all clamor to receive a drug through compassionate use requests, researchers might have trouble finding enough people to participate in clinical trials (where participants risk being given just a placebo instead of the actual drug.) No clinical trials, no FDA approval. No FDA approval, no widespread distribution of potentially game-changing drugs.
Caplan isn't the only expert defending Chimerix.
"This is a very sticky situation for both Chimerix and the Hardy family," said Dave Dragoo, a physician who practices in Colorado. "The fact of the matter is that without some form of regulation, drug developmentwould become like the 'wild west' where drugs come to market without having gone through the rigors of determining there safety. The bottom line for Chimerix, despite the fact that its drug may save this one child's life, is that they have a huge amount of liability at stake."
Caplan argues that there needs to be a government-organized systematic approach to the distribution of trial drugs under compassionate use — one that takes into account that patients often can't afford to pay for experimental drugs that insurance companies refuse to cover.
That system doesn't exist right now. What does exist is a very sick little boy who has thousands in his corner praying for his recovery and for Chimerix executives to change their mind.
For now, they've haven't. The execs have apparently decided that they'd rather take a hit to the company's reputation than, as Caplan suggests, risk the survival of their company and, by extension, their much sought-after drug.
Understandably, Josh Hardy's family isn't thinking about where Chimerix and its drug might be two years from now.
"We're not talking about the future," William Burns told me. "With this particular case, if he doesn't get this drug, he's going to die."
Given the greater good argument, would you take "no" for an answer? I still can't think of a single parent, including myself, who would. There will be future Joshes out there, but right now, it's hard to see past this one.

Is the Electoral Count Act Unconstitutional?
Vasan Kesavan
North Carolina Law Review, Vol. 80, 2002
This Article takes on one of the most unasked questions of Bush v. Gore - whether the Electoral Count Act, the federal statutory scheme at issue in that case, is constitutional. Enacted in 1887 and hardly discussed for the past 114 years, the Electoral Count Act sets forth complicated regulations for counting (and not counting) electoral votes. This Article argues that Section 15 of Title 3 of the United States Code, the heart of the Electoral Count Act, is unconstitutional.
Since 1800, Congress has attempted to enact legislation regulating the electoral count, finally succeeding in 1887. This Article traces these principal congressional efforts to regulate the electoral count and the surrounding constitutional text and structure to show why the Electoral Count Act is unconstitutional. The Electoral Count Act may seem like a good statutory scheme to deal with the problems of the electoral count, but not every good statutory scheme is a constitutional one. Some problems may only be remedied by constitutional amendment, not by statute. Anyone who wishes to argue that the Electoral Count Act is constitutional bears a very high burden of proof.

A computer problem grounded American Airlines flights across the country for several hours Tuesday afternoon, canceling two flights and delaying others at Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
The systemwide outage, which caused cancellation of more than 750 American and American Eagle flights across the nation, started around midday and lasted until about 4:30 p.m.
In Buffalo, where American flies 50-seat aircraft back and forth from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, one departing flight and one arriving flight were canceled, according to C. Douglas Hartmayer, spokesman for the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority.
Hartmayer noted that two evening arrivals and one departure were delayed.
"Customer-wise, the impact was not that great," Hartmayer said.
American said the computer problem prevented it from accessing Sabre, its reservations system. In addition to reservations, the system handles a multitude of other functions, including printing boarding passes, online check-ins, ticketing and tracking baggage.
The cause was not immediately identified, but American said it was not related to the bombings Monday at the Boston Marathon. Other airlines using Sabre reported that they had no problems.
American officials said they would waive fees for passengers who wanted to change their reservations Tuesday and give refunds to those who decided to cancel their flights.

Tear gas and stun grenades in the hands of Avraham Reiss? Are you kidding me?
Not every criticism of nor opposition to Israel, be it policy, legislation, or act is anti-Semitic. Hiding behind that guise impedes the introspection the State of Israel needs, to develop into the western style democracy it so wants to become.
A theocratic democracy is a contradiction
Please tell me this isn't real. Does Israel know it's the 21st century or does it still think it's the Dark Ages?
It'll be a cold day in hell before Greece gets any of my tourist dollars. Excuse me while I go look for Ambassador Smith. He seems to be missing.
It pains me to know that this is what my tax dollars are funding.
I see that some changes have been made and applaud the Moderators for the actions taken. I think these changes will solve the problems the site has been experiencing, and I do not think pre-moderation is necessary and a good idea. This invariably leads to stunted and impeded debate.
The JC has an extremely strange administration policy. The most foul mouthed, disgusting, intemperate bullies have complete license spew their bile. But now seemingly,all semblance of debate is,coincidently with the arrival of a new Chairman of The Board, who, I have learned, specializes in suppressing discussion of Israel,is to be eliminated.
In particular anyone who expresses any views not to the liking of a few dominant idiots is terminated.
I am absolutely appalled at the impression of Jews this blog site gives to the world.

The man told police that he met a woman named Amber at a casino in Pocola, Okla., before they both went to a motel room in Van Buren.
During the night, the woman took the man's pants, which contained his identification cards, credit cards and keys, and left in his 2011 Black Ford Edge, according to a police news release. Police later found the vehicle near Raleigh Street in Fort Smith.
Police were still searching for the woman. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Van Buren Police Department at 479-474-1234.

The Los Angeles Lakers is undeniably one of the most admired and followed teams in the entire NBA league. It is most probably because of the team's numerous championship winnings and long winning streaks. Of course, a huge factor for that is the popularity of the LA Lakers players like Kobe Bryant who have inspired a lot of aspiring basketball players all over the globe. This team has indeed captured the hearts of many and has been considered a tough competitor by other NBA teams. The huge number of followers on social media sites and the players' appearances on TV shows, live events magazines, and online programs are just among the few obvious proofs for that.
To date, the LA Lakers team has a total of 15 players in its roster. The team's guards are Steve Blake (#5), Jordan Farmar (#1), Xavier Henry (#7), Jodie Meeks (#20), Steve Nash (#10), and Kobe Bryant (#24). Wesley Johnson (#11) and Nick Young (#0) serve as guard-forward players while Pau Gasol (#16) is the forward-center player of the team. Other forward players are Elias Harris (#2), Ryan Kelly (#4), and Shawne Williams (#3). Lastly, the team's center players are Jordan Hill (#27), Chris Kaman (#9), and Robert Sacre (#50). Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant are currently the oldest members of the team. They have been with the team in the last 17 years. Meanwhile, the team's rookies are Elias Harris and Ryan Kelly. There are three 7-footers in the team. They are Pau Gasol, Chris Kaman, and Robert Sacre. When it comes to age, Steve Nash (39 years old) is the eldest while Ryan Kelly and Xavier Henry (22 years old) are the youngest ones.
Perhaps, Kobe Bryant is the most remarkable and talked about player in the team. One reason for that is his excellent collaboration with the team's former superstar Shaquille O'Neal that led the team to earn three consecutive NBA titles in the 2000 to 2002 NBA seasons. Another is the fact that he is today's highest paid player in the NBA, rating at $30,453,805 for the 2013-14 season. His fellow LA Lakers player Pau Gasol is also in the list, ranking at the seventh spot with a rating of $19,285,850. Moreover, it has been a big buzz in the NBA scene for Kobe Bryant's injury in his Achilles' heel tendon. He has been absent in the recent several games, which is considered by many as a huge challenge for the team. According to some news reports, he still needs a couple of weeks or more for his full recovery before he could get back into the game.
Several reports state that LA Lakers tickets are among the most sold-out tickets in the entire NBA league. This is most probably because of the fact that the team includes Kobe Bryant remains among the greatest NBA superstars of this generation.

The Hobby-Eberly Telescope will be equipped with a state-of-the-art fiber-coupled high resolution spectrograph (HRS). In this talk we summarize briefly the technical and astronomical performance characteristics of the HRS, and outline several major research efforts to be undertaken with it. For example, direct study of the kinematical and chemical evolution of the interstellar medium in galaxies of all types out to redshift~4 will be accomplished with HRS absorption line spectra of bright background quasars; the maximum HRS spectral resolving power (R~q120,000) will permit more detailed ISM studies than has heretofore been possible with very-large-aperture telescopes. The HRS will provide a superb opportunity to extend the current searches for extra-solar-system planets to a wider, more carefully selected stellar sample; queue scheduling and a highly stable HRS will make the HET ideal for a new high-precision radial velocity survey. The HRS will be employed in very-large-sample studies of the chemical evolution of the Galactic halo and thick disk populations; recently published and ongoing photometric and objective prism surveys have yielded huge target object lists spread over large sky area, well matched to HET's unique operating characteristics. Finally, the HRS will be used to intensively monitor time-variable astronomical phenomena (e.g. active stars, novae/supernovae, and circumstellar ejecta); the key advantage here will be the ability to use the HET's queue scheduling to tailor the observational samples to mesh with the targets' variability timescales.

Primary objective:
- To evaluate the effect of lixisenatide versus placebo over a period of 24 weeks on glycemic control, as evaluated by HbA1c reduction, in older type 2 diabetes patients (T2DM) who are inadequately controlled with their current anti-diabetic treatment regimen.
Main secondary objective:
- To assess the safety and tolerability of lixisenatide compared to placebo in older T2DM patients (including occurrence of documented (Plasma Glucose PG < 60 mg/dL) symptomatic hypoglycemia and gastrointestinal side effects).
Other secondary objectives:
To assess the effect of lixisenatide compared to placebo after 24-week treatment on:
- Fasting plasma glucose (FPG)
- During liquid standardized breakfast meal challenge test : 2 hour- PPG and Plasma Glucose Excursion
- 7-point Self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) profile
- Body weight
- Change in total daily dose of basal insulin (if taken)
- Percentage of patients requiring rescue therapy
- Safety and tolerability
- To assess lixisenatide pharmacokinetic profile
- To assess anti-lixisenatide antibody development.

The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) was amended in 1996 to require states to develop and implement source water assessment programs for existing and potential threats to the quality of public drinking water, and to include a summary of that assessment in the water system's annual consumer confidence report. Specifically, states are required to delineate the sources of public drinking water, identify potential contamination sources within the delineated area, assess the water system's susceptibility to contamination and inform the public of the results. These results are summarized below:
The Searchlight Water System service area is supplied by two wells in Piute Valley. The wells in Searchlight are recharged by precipitation and snowmelt runoff from the Lucy Gray Range, the Castle Mountains and the McCullough Mountains, as well as from groundwater flows from the adjacent upgradient valley.
The wells supplying water to the Searchlight service area were assessed for potential vulnerability to volatile organic (VOC), synthetic organic (SOC), inorganic (IOC), radiological and microbiological contaminants. One well is considered to be highly vulnerable to contamination from nearby above-ground storage tanks. The wells are also considered to be moderately to highly vulnerable to VOC and SOC contamination based upon previous detections of di(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate, toluene, p-dichlorobenzene and xylenes; however, concentrations of these contaminants were well within federal health-based standards. VOCs are typically associated with gasoline stations and dry cleaners; SOCs are generally associated with herbicides and insecticides.
Water from the Searchlight Water System meets or surpasses all state and federal drinking-water standards.
Detailed information pertaining to the findings of the source water assessment is available for viewing in person weekdays, by appointment, at the Las Vegas Valley Water District, 1001 S. Valley View Blvd. Please call (702) 258-3215 for an appointment. Additional information about the Nevada Source Water Assessment Program may be found at ndep.nv.gov/bsdw.

To the Editor
The Annals of Internal Medicine recently published a piece I wrote for the On Being A Doctor series titled "Deflection of a Diagnosis" wherein I described the difficulty a physician experienced informing a terminally ill patient that he was dying""in fact, the physician was unable to tell the patient, instead, deferring the discussion until a follow-up visit scheduled a week later. I have since received a few e-mails critical of my management of the case, however, I was not the physician in the scenario, I was merely an observer detailing this physician's angst in delivering bad news to a fellow human being. My hope was that select physicians would objectively look at their behaviors after reading this narrative and change their patterns of practice to preclude such conduct in future encounters with terminally ill patients. That said, it is nevertheless hard to provide a "death sentence" to patients, particularly for young physicians who are still absorbing the art and wisdom of medicine that accrues with time and age. And certain patients are just not ready to hear the diagnosis the first time, and may require a second, or even third visit. But irrespective of the time frame involved, unless we are totally honest with patients, the physician-patient bond will shatter, and with that, hope for healing.

GUNS N' ROSES - Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan, Steven Adler, Matt Sorum and Dizzy Reed - will be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame on April 14th in Cleveland, Ohio. Vocalist and sole remaining original member Axl Rose has issued an open letter (found here) declining his part in the induction:
"I won't be attending The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction 2012 Ceremony and I respectfully decline my induction as a member of Guns N' Roses to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
I strongly request that I not be inducted in absentia and please know that no one is authorized nor may anyone be permitted to accept any induction for me or speak on my behalf. Neither former members, label representatives nor the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame should imply whether directly, indirectly or by omission that I am included in any purported induction of Guns N' Roses."
A follow-up report issued by AP indicates that the Hall isn't listening to Rose's request:
The Hall said in a statement that it still plans to induct Rose with the rest of the group. "We are sorry he will not be able to accept his induction in person," it said.
The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame kicked off the civic celebration and concerts leading up to its April 14th inductions with the unveiling recently of sidewalk "Walk of Fame" plaques honouring the newest inductees. The initial 14 round plaques were unveiled in a windswept ceremony outside the auditorium where the inductions will be held.
