Sorry for all the questions it's just i would like to get as much scope on this as possible.
P.s. I am going ROTJ route just in case thats relevant.

Because Pulaski Technical College is a commuter campus, inclement weather has a greater adverse impact than on a residential campus. The effects fall unevenly on individual students as road conditions and circumstances vary. Thus, individual decisions are required when hazardous weather conditions exist but the college is officially open.
Additional information
If the college closes or changes hours of operation because of adverse weather conditions, the college will post the news to this website. In addition, the news will be posted to the college Facebook and Twitter accounts. The college also recommends that all students and employees sign up with the RAVE text alert system on the MyPTC Portal. When you sign up, all closures or changes in hours of operation will be delivered directly to your cell phone.

When life's complications get in the way of graduation, the University of Colorado Boulder offers CU Complete, an academic service designed to assist former CU-Boulder students in completing their bachelor's degrees.
Launched in 2009 by the CU-Boulder Division of Continuing Education, CU Complete provides academic, financial aid and career advising to support students in degree completion. To date, more than 400 former CU-Boulder students have worked with Continuing Education advisers and 78 students have graduated with assistance from CU Complete.
"When we started this project, we were surprised to learn that a number of students had not completed their degrees despite being in good academic standing and well along in their degree requirements," said Anne K. Heinz, dean of Continuing Education at CU-Boulder. "We wanted to reach out to these students, reassure them that it was not too late to finish their degree and that there are resources available to help them."
Various factors can influence a student's decision to leave school. Students cite family emergencies, health issues and employment opportunities as some of the reasons. But time and finances are the primary barriers that stand in the way of degree completion according to data gathered via CU Complete student surveys. In addition, work, family and geography — many former students no longer live in Boulder — make re-enrollment a challenge.
"We work closely with academic departments to offer flexible online and evening courses, which can help former students earn credit within their circumstances," Heinz said. "No matter their reasons for leaving, we find that former students have a strong desire to complete their degrees and enjoy a great sense of accomplishment when they graduate."
In 2008, CU-Boulder student Annie Barr walked with her class at spring commencement. She later discovered she needed to complete a few courses to graduate. Barr was working full-time in addition to completing a part-time internship. She attempted to finish her coursework, but her schedule and finances were a challenge and she quickly became preoccupied with her emerging career.
"My internship turned into a full-time position, and I began my career. With a busy schedule of late nights and travel, my priorities shifted away from completing my degree," she said. "I was a committed and involved student in college — I participated in a leadership program, student government and jobs on campus. Not completing my degree was not a matter of ability; it was a matter of priority."
Even with her career in progress, Barr continued to harbor hope for finishing her degree. Last year, she worked with a Continuing Education adviser and received a scholarship to enroll in her remaining course. In 2012, Barr graduated with bachelor's degrees in communication and Germanic Studies.
"I didn't realize how much the reality of not having my degree was really bothering me deep down," she said. "The burden was finally lifted when I earned my degree.
"I can rest assured that if I come across an opportunity in life that requires a degree, I can produce it. More importantly, I have a degree that validates all the incredible experiences I had at CU-Boulder and all my hard work."
Like Barr, many returning CU-Boulder students may be eligible for financial assistance and scholarships.
The CU Complete Scholarship, initially made possible with grant funding from the Colorado Department of Higher Education, Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education, and the Lumina Foundation, has been awarded to more than 100 students and funding is still available.

Hamburger, Michael 1924–
Hamburger is a German-born English poet, translator, and critic. Hamburger has achieved a solid reputation as a poet; in addition, he is the outstanding translator and interpreter of German poetry for English readers. His collected translations of Hölderlin and Hugo von Hofmannsthal are considered definitive. (See also CLC, Vol. 5, and Contemporary Authors, Vols. 5-8, rev, ed.)
[It] is the combination of poet and critic which makes the special interest of Mr. Hamburger's book [Reason and Energy]. Whether he is analysing Hölderlin's "Patmos" or the fifth Hymn of Novalis, Kleist's Die Marquise von O … or Büchner's Woyzeck, or the hysteria of the German Expressionists, it is a poet's preoccupation with their characteristic use of language which provides the insight and the illumination.
At first sight the poets assembled between these covers seem strange bedfellows, and one may well ask what they have in common. The answer is implied in the title—Reason and Energy—taken from an aphorism by Blake which states that "without Contraries there is no progression." All these German poets were the victims of—and were often obsessed with—contraries and contradictions, dichotomies and dualisms….
It is clear that none of these poets ever gets any farther by his "progression" through contraries. And from the Novalis motto which also stands sponsor to his book, it is doubtful whether Mr. Hamburger would have wished them to. He evidently has little liking for the real "progress" through contraries made by the one great German poet who, like Blake, knew this to be a law of existence and acted on the knowledge throughout his life and work—Goethe. From the essay on Hölderlin it might even seem that Mr. Hamburger envisages contraries being resolved, not by accepting them, but rather by denying or abandoning them. But in all fairness it should be noted that the unity of his book is "a theme discovered in retrospect, rather than a thesis driven towards a foregone conclusion," and this, as we know from similar collections of essays brought under a single head, does not always make for clarity of argument at every point….
An important contribution to Hölderlin scholarship is Mr. Hamburger's interpretation of "Friedensfeier," for the discovery and identification of which he was mainly responsible….
[Mr. Hamburger] is not only poet and critic but scholar as well, and these three often warring persons seem in him to live in harmony. The outward and visible signs of their fruitful collaboration are the accurate and poetic translations with which he is able to set the seal on his critical interpretations.

M. L. Rosenthal
Michael Hamburger is an English poet of recent German ancestry, a fact that makes it easy to understand the unhappy historical consciousness that marks his work. The title of his book, "Weather and Season," seems rather commonplace—until one realizes the importance in it of the two poems, "Homage to the Weather" and "In a Cold Season." The former of these is a beautiful evocation of remembered moments in many places, summoned up by the sudden appearance of bees—"a tide, high tide of golden air"—in a garden. The other is a poem about Eichmann, and about the poet's grandmother who perished in Nazi Germany. The range of Mr. Hamburger's work lies between these extremes.
He is an exquisitely...

John Fuller
Hamburger writes honestly, without fudging his feelings, but he has admitted into [Travelling] too many poems that are simply dull. His ironies tend either to lack sharpness (as in a poem on the erroneous bombing of friendly villages in Vietnam) or to be unconvincingly high-pitched (as in the pessimism about the consumer society in 'Report on a Supermarket'). The fact that his perception and criticism in these poems is so unfailingly right does not guarantee their impact on the reader. Yet Hamburger is a poet who blossoms marvellously when he has found the convincing images.
All is saved by those poems which show that he has found them, poems like 'Observer', 'The Cello' or 'For a Family...

M. B. Benn
The second edition [of Reason and Energy: Studies in German Literature] contains only one essay that is quite new: a comparative study of Milton and Hölderlin entitled 'The Sublime Art'….
'The Sublime Art' has the merit of dealing with two poets whose likenesses and differences are sufficiently interesting to make a comparative study worth while. And it has the further merit of focussing attention on Samson Agonistes and Empedocles, works which are genuinely comparable. But it is unfortunate that Hamburger should have chosen to base his interpretation on the second version of Empedocles. Few firm conclusions can be drawn from the extant brief fragments of this...

Russell Davies
It is shameful to be curt with Michael Hamburger, but I feel his Real Estate suffers … from its travels. It is the fairly depressive constancy of Hamburger's personality that is emphasised by the movement, not the variousness of moods and worlds. The phrase 'Ah well' came somewhere in the book, but it could have come everywhere. A possible exception might have been the long philosophical poem 'Travelling', which Hamburger has been working up to this definitive length for some years; but by now, the title-term seems to me to have become over-loaded with meanings—and the one that suffers the worst damage is that condition of swishing weightlessness of spirit which I suspect the poet most highly prizes.

[The miscellaneous pieces about British and German authors contained in Art as Second Nature: Occasional Pieces 1950–74] are more than just crumbs of an intellectual banquet, and one remarkable trait is the extent to which they penetrate their respective topics in depth, within the generally very narrow compass allowed by literary journalism. Quick sharp probings they are, and it is no wonder that Hamburger should turn out to be so frequently quotable in a book that introduces itself to us in the demure guise of a miscellany. He is of course a poet, as the short unpretentious self-analysis called "A Writer on his Work" reminds us and as any reader of his translations from Hölderlin knows…. (p. 663)...

Anne Stevenson
[Reality] is Michael Hamburger's theme, and he seriously confronts it in his title poem [in Real Estate] about almost but not quite buying an old house where the 'pure idea of dwelling' seems 'too real for us to meddle with'. All through this book Hamburger explores the endemic dilemmas of the bourgeois poet: what to have, what to dream about, what to kill, what to keep in the garden? This is a thoughtful book by a poet who is more personal than philosophical. (p. 487)

The Ultimate Festival Travel Guide

Visiting a few music festivals this year? Here's where to stay to ensure your ultimate getaway.

There's more to the American festival scene than just Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo, but finding which festival to put your money into can be daunting, so we've done the work for you: we've broken down which cities, musicians, hotels and festivals are worthy of your presence.
Recently featured in Playboy Magazine for his impeccable style and his larger-than-life deejay career, Diplo is one act you just can't miss this summer. While he'll be touring all around the world for the better part of the season, our festival pick is Electric Zoo New York that takes place from August 20th to September 1st. While you're there, take a page out of Diplo's book and indulge your senses by checking into one of the hippest hotels in New York, the Paramount. Preserving its French Renaissance–inspired elements originally designed by a theater architect in 1928, the Paramount has melded the beauty of longstanding architecture with over-the-top lush modern-day amenities and design in their two-story living room lobby, famous Paramount Bar & Grill and, of course, rooms.
A festival favorite in every city, father of modern psychedelic rock Wayne Coyne and company will be making their way to Louisville, Kentucky for the Forecastle Fest on Saturday July 13th. Founded in 2002, Forecastle is quickly becoming one of the most talked about festivals in America by melding megagroups, local artists and awareness of important environmental issues. Don't let your creativity fade once you step off the festival grounds; check into one of the most stimulating boutique hotels around, the 21c Museum Hotel. "Born out of a desire to integrate contemporary art into everyday life, 21c launched in downtown Louisville, Kentucky in 2006" and has opened two more locations in Cincinnati and Bentonville. 21c mixes culture and couture in their beautifully curated rooms, in-house art museum and award-winning restaurant.
Canadian sweetheart Leslie Feist doesn't have many dates lined up for the summer (let's hope she's working on a new album), which means her show at the infamous Newport Folk Fest shouldn't be missed. Make it a romantic getaway by shacking up with a girl at the Attwater, a gorgeous boutique hotel known for its colorful "Newport Unconventional" designs. Pulling inspiration from the town's historical roots and seaside location, the Attwater makes for the perfect location for a trendy "coastal-chic" retreat from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
Originally formed under the guise of a "trashy, punky, grimy" band Karen O had seen in Oberlin, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have become one of the most important alt-rock bands of our time. With their soon-to-be-released album Mosquito on the horizon, Yeah Yeah Yeahs will be performing at one of our favorite festivals in L.A., FYF Fest, on Saturday August 24th. While hotels are a dime a dozen in L.A., we suggest leaving your party days behind you and checking in at the contemporary Palihotel. The quaint 32-room hotel is nestled in the heart of the Melrose shopping district and is home to the acclaimed Hart and the Hunter restaurant as well as Thai Thai Massage. Each room is curated beautifully to fit the individuality of the artistic guests that frequent the location and will quickly become one of your favorite places to stay when you're in the Creative Capital of the World.
Marching to the beat of her own drum since 1977, Iceland's Bjork is still going strong. Since catching her as a solo act can cost you an arm and a leg, seeing her at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago is probably the best way to go. Partying all day at Pitchfork is kind of a daunting task, so shacking up at Acme Hotel is the best way to go for many reasons: their hotel rooms are trendy but also incredibly affordable, they've got all the latest gadgets, nine-dollar breakfasts that come to your room and a $25 "Hair of the Dog" add-on that includes two bottles of Powerade, aspirin and a $10 gift certificate to Chicago's MBurger. You're going to need it!
If your mood mimics the music you listen to, you're going to need a pick-me-up after catching The National at San Francisco's Outside Lands. Enter the cheery, vibrant Hotel Triton. With design help from the iconic Grateful Dead singer Jerry Garcia and even a room intended for those with a sweet tooth for ice cream, each room is splashed with bold accents of color, kitsch and comfort.
One of our favorite musicians to rise to fame this year has been Charli XCX, who you can catch in Seattle at Bumbershoot on Sunday September 1st. While you're there, be sure to check in and throw your own Charli-inspired room party at Hotel Max, a place that's all about music, comfort and art. Currently Hotel Max has turned an entire floor into an homage to Seattle's own Sub Pop records. Each room is adorned with photographer Charles Peterson's shots of the iconic Seattle music scene of the late '80s and early '90s, Sub Pop records, a Crosley record player and a TV channel that plays nonstop Sub Pop music videos.
While you're probably going to Portland for other reasons, you should catch the post-rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor at this year's MFNW between trips to the food trucks and pints of Rogue Ale. Don't let the party stop once you check in; rest your feet at Ace Hotel located in downtown Portland. Did we mention it's next door to the infamous Stumptown? Because it is.
Queens of the Stone Age just released their sixth studio album, …Like Clockwork, to rave reviews and are set to play live at Made in America in Philadelphia this Labor Day weekend alongside the likes of Beyoncé, Deadmau5 and Nine Inch Nails. Don't leave your rock star attitude at the fest; keep the good times coming at the luxurious Hotel Monaco located in the Historic District. Whether you're grabbing a bite at the Red Owl Tavern, lazing at the rooftop lounge Stratus or catching up on some much-needed relaxation in their beautifully curated boutique rooms, you'll be feeling like the star you are.

Officer: Sir, you were speeding.
Bullseye Bill: Oh, I see.
Officer: Can I see your license please?
Bullseye Bill: I'd give it to you but I don't have one.

Officer: You what?
Bullseye Bill: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see
The Officer looks at Bullseye Bill and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.
Officer 2: Sir, could you step out of your vehicle please! Bill steps out of his vehicle.
Bullseye Bill: Is there a problem sir?
Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.
Bullseye Bill: Murdered the owner?

Bullseye Bill: Yes, here are the registration papers.
The officer is quite stunned.
Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.
Bullseye Bill digs into his european carry all and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer.
The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.
Officer 2: Thank you Bill, one of my officers told me you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.
Bullseye Bill: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too!!!!

A professional woodworker shares basic, time-tested tips that will help you work faster and get better results on your furniture projects.
Our latest search for tips from professional woodworkers led us to Dave Munkittrick's shop in Wisconsin.
"Years ago we left the big city and bought this old farmstead," Dave said. "With a little bit of remodeling, the hog barn became my woodworking shop, and it's been a great place to build, repair and finish furniture for the last 20 years."
Dave's repair and finishing tips are the fruit of careful thought blended with ingenious thriftiness. Translation: Let Dave help you get the job done well—and cheap!
Dave showed us how to tell a quality paintbrush from a cheap one—good to know when you're at the hardware store. First, he stroked a cheap plastic-bristle brush against a table edge; the bristles split apart. When he stroked an expensive ox-hair brush on the edge, the bristles wrapped around and covered the corner.
Dave's advice: "If you're serious about finishing, invest in high-quality brushes. If you clean them well, they'll last a lifetime, minimize brush marks and hold more finish, so you don't have to reload the brush as often. I'll spend up to $50 for a good brush."
Dave's mallet for tapping furniture parts together—and apart—is pretty simple. "My rubber mallet was too big to get into small spaces, so I slipped a 1-in. rubber foot from the hardware store onto a ball peen hammer. It fits in tight spots and focuses the hammer blow more accurately during disassembly and glue-ups."
The rubber feet are inexpensive and come in various diameters (3/4 in. to 1-1/2 in.). Take your hammer to the store to be sure you get one that fits.
If you force the lids of your finish cans closed when there's finish filling the rim, the can won't seal and the contents will dry out.
"It only takes a few seconds after you're done to rub the can rim with a cotton cloth, which guarantees a clean and tight seal, and makes it easier to open the can next time."
"This may seem like an obvious idea," Dave said while slipping on a pair of plastic gloves. "But if you apply finishes bare-handed and then clean your hands with solvents, they go through your skin and into your system. So I keep a jumbo box of gloves handy and always pull on a new pair when finishing furniture, cleaning brushes or working with any kind of adhesive."
Boxes of 100 vinyl gloves are sold at home centers.
"Loose bristles coming out of the brush and drying on your project are a headache you can prevent," Dave said. Just smack a clean, dry brush several times against the palm of your hand. Loose bristles stick out from the end of the brush and are easily plucked before you dip the brush in the can.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Airbus' first A350 XWB moved another step closer to its maiden takeoff with installation of this widebody jetliner's 50-metre-long electrical harness for flight test measurements, which – together with 35 electrical cabinets – forms an advanced "supercomputer" known as METRO.
Outfitted with 40,000 electrical links, the METRO system allows a range of parameters to be measured and recorded during the aircraft's flight test campaign, with data collected to be used for the A350 XWB's certification process. METRO will be powered up as soon as the no. 1 airframe's join-up is completed, and will allow 4,500-5,000 measurements to be made.
The system's electrical harness, which weighs 900 kg., was installed earlier this month by more than 40 employees from Airbus and the Safran group's Labinal. Its placement was completed over a weekend to ensure the A350 XWB industrial timetable was not impacted.
For the first time, the harness – with its 67 km. of cables – was installed in high-level raceways. This approach differs from previous programmes where harnesses were run along the floor, and it will eliminate the risk of electrical equipment damage during final assembly line activities.
The METRO system's circuit also is more flexible. Electrical cut-offs, which are possible at each of the 35 cabinets, allow them to be disconnected and moved in an easier and faster process. The cabinets – which weigh a combined nine tonnes – will be used by flight test engineers to display parameters being tested and recorded during the flight campaign.
Airbus' no. 1 A350 XWB will be joined by four additional development aircraft in the flight test campaign, each equipped with different instrumentation to gather the range of information required for certification.

Universal eye health: a global action plan 2014–2019
The global eye health action plan 2014–2019 aims to reduce avoidable visual impairment as a global public health problem and to secure access to rehabilitation services for the visually impaired. This should be achieved by expanding current efforts by Member States, the WHO Secretariat and international partners, improved coordination, efficient monitoring, focusing the use of resources towards the most cost-effective interventions, and developing innovative approaches to prevent and cure eye diseases.
Definition and Causes
Blindness is the inability to see. The leading causes of chronic blindness include cataract, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, corneal opacities, diabetic retinopathy and eye conditions in children (e.g. caused by vitamin A deficiency). Age-related blindness is increasing throughout the world, as is blindness due to uncontrolled diabetes. On the other hand, blindness caused by infection is decreasing, as a result of public health action. Three-quarters of all blindness can be prevented or treated.
Global data
The magnitude of visual impairment and blindness and their causes have been estimated, globally and by WHO region from recent data. For countries without data estimates were based on newly developed model. Globally the number of people of all ages visually impaired is estimated to be 285 million, of whom 39 million are blind. People 50 years and older are 82% of all blind. The major causes of visual impairment are uncorrected refractive errors (43%) and cataract (33%); the first cause of blindness is cataract (51%). Visual impairment in 2010 is a major global health issue: the preventable causes are as high as 80% of the total global burden.
10 facts about blindness and visual impairment
Visual impairment often limits people's ability to perform everyday tasks and affects their quality of life. Blindness, the most severe form of visual impairment, reduces people's ability to move about unaided unless properly trained.

Andy Cohen In The Morning appears every Monday through Friday until the end of the season, except for the bye week. The column is posted each day at 6 a.m.
Have a question for A.C.? Submit your questions to Andy Cohen on Twitter at @ACohenFins. Andy will answer questions every other Wednesday throughout the season.
Before the build-up begins toward Sunday against Atlanta, before we start talking about the real possibility of a 3-0 start for the first time in more than a decade, let's re-visit Indy and a victory as important as any in Joe Philbin's 18 games as Dolphins coach.
• Speaking of Philbin, it should not go unnoticed that he coached an excellent game. From preserving timeouts at the close of the first half, the end result a Caleb Sturgis field goal, to challenging a bad call at just the right moment, Philbin was clearly on top of his game. His statement to the team in the locker room — "We've got a helluva team in the making" – could have also applied to the head coach.
• Finish the first half strong. Finish the game strong. The message has been delivered over and over. It seems to have gotten through. The Dolphins won the Indy game in the fourth quarter, the defense coming up big against Andrew Luck. A year ago, this defense struggled to finish games. Now it's a different defense and a different mindset. Very encouraging.
• There should be no doubt at this juncture that the Dolphins made the right decision keeping rookie placekicker Caleb Sturgis. I truthfully wasn't sold until he nailed back-to-back 54-yard field goals – the first one negated by a timeout – to close the first half at Indy. Sturgis' kicks aren't merely good; they are dead center good. And his kickoffs are something special.
• The Dolphins appeared to have found a play-making tight end and it is molded out of Clay. That's Charles Clay, who in two games has now caught 10 passes for 163 yards and showed his versatility last Sunday by also scoring on a 1-yard run. I was deeply concerned when Dustin Keller went down with a season-ending knee injury. The concern has clearly been lessened by the performance of Clay.
• The only real negative in the Indy game was the pass protection, which has now given up 9 sacks in two games. Part of this is because Ryan Tannehill, at times, holds the ball too long. But there are too many breakdowns on the line and too many times when a running back misses an important block. This, I know, will be addressed heavily over the next few days.
• You should try to check out a replay of the bubble screen that resulted in Mike Wallace's first touchdown of the season. Talk about perfect execution, this was it. Why, center Mike Pouncey was 15 yards downfield blocking for Wallace. It's a great way to get Wallace the ball in a hurry.
• In case you missed it, that was former Dolphin Vontae Davis who failed to secure the outside on Lamar Miller's touchdown run.
• As each game goes by, I'm becoming more and more impressed with the contributions of little known defensive end Derrick Shelby. There is a reason he is entrenched in the defensive line rotation; the young man can play.
• Brent Grimes is the best pure athlete the Dolphins have had at cornerback in years. His interception of a Andrew Luck pass was just one example of that. Here's a guy who is small in size, but big in ability. Has already proven to be a very important free agent signing.
• Dion Jordan, next time wrap-up Luck with both arms. He's too big to try to merely push to the ground. I'm quite certain that's a play he'll learn from.
• Now to Sunday's game against the Falcons and the potential of a 3-0 start for the first time since the 2002 season. Interesting historical oddity to that season. The second win of that 3-0 start was at Indy.
• I'm already looking forward to seeing Grimes, playing against his old team, matched up against either Julio Jones or Roddy White. Keep your binoculars focused on that one.
• My Tuesday morning question: How is a defense that has struggled against tight ends in the first two games going to contain Atlanta's Tony Gonzalez? "A big, big challenge," said defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle.
• Bottom Line: The Colts were an important obstacle to clear. But the Falcons are a notch above and a chance for this Dolphins team to put a nice exclamation point on their early season run of success. In the big picture, this is about as important a non-divisional regular season home game as this team has had in a long time.
On Wednesday, AC in the AM wonders how five starters on this year's team could have gone undrafted.

Atlanta is 1-1. The match up of unbeatens will be next week in New Orleans.
Falcons are little banged up. Their OL is not very good especially the left side. They also are not getting pressure on the QB. They are very deep. I have never thought their coach was very good. I truly think the Fins take this game with the home field advantage – should be loud.
Roddy has hurt ankle and will be used as a decoy. We should be able to mark Julio with Grimes. Our DL should be able to get to Ryan. He is smart enough to get rid of the ball but they aren't going deep. Gonzales also is banged up a bit but I'm pretty sure he will shake it off and he will be their best weapon. As for the Fins O. They should be able to run the ball and they will need to because the Falcons have a very good secondary.
andy as always great read……yes will b a great test…..we need week3…..as a fan i wanna see it win or lose…..hell next 3 really……as they say contend or pretend……but i will say man it feels great 2b2ando
At home if the Miami fans can step up, this defense has the best chance, if they can put pressure on QB and even somewhat contain TE's this can be a good test.
everybody GO TO THE GAME!!! And scream loud! .. this team really needs the 12th man against the Falcons.
everybody GO TO THE GAME!!! And scream loud! .. this team really needs the 12th man against the Falcons.
Will the mighty Dolphins go undefeated in 2013?
I'm feeling pretty good about what I saw Sunday. Defense stay the course and give the offense a chance on Sunday. Offense use your weapons and the offensive line has to protect the QB if you expect to be in the game. Atlanta will be tuff! Go Fins!!
miami dolphins is number 1

A Hamilton supermarket worker went beyond his job description by chasing a wallet thief for several kilometres and helping in his arrest.
Senior Sergeant Dave Litton, said police were called by the Pak'N Save worker while he was chasing the offender who had fled from the Clarence St store about 7pm yesterday.
The man had been "lingering" around shopping trolleys near the supermarket entrance when he managed to steal a woman's wallet and cell-phone from her trolley.
"Our victim gave chase and caught up with the thief but he pushed her to the ground before charging over a supermarket employee and running out the store exit."
Mr Litton said a second supermarket worker saw what was going on and chased the offender through a number of properties and streets.
"The offender eventually doubled back and started heading north all the while being chased by the worker who not only had sufficient breath, but the presence of mind to phone 111 enabling us to coordinate our response and capture the offender by Waikato Hospital.
"Though we're yet to locate her cellphone we were able to return the wallet to the victim.
"This is a timely reminder to shoppers not to leave your valuables unattended, even for an instant, as you never know whose watching,'' Mr Litton said.
"This man really has gone above and beyond what could reasonably be expected from a person in regards to customer care and he deserves all the accolades possible for his efforts."

Halloween Trick-or-Treat Safety
COLORADO - Halloween is right around the corner and trick-or-treating, parties, haunted houses or other types of get-togethers can be great fun. Everyone needs to enjoy these activities safely, so please make sure you and your children follow these simple tips:
- Children should always be accompanied by a trusted adult, and no one should trick-or-treat alone. Trick-or-treaters should do a head-count for their group after leaving each house.
- Make sure children know to not get in a vehicle with a stranger or person they don't trust, and to never enter a vehicle or home for a treat. They should only approach homes that are well-illuminated and that appear welcoming for treat-or-treaters.
- Trick-or-treaters should try to stay on the sidewalks and out of the roadway.
- Specify a time at which your children should return home, and make sure they carry a cell phone so that you can check in on them from time to time, and make sure they know to call 911 in case of an emergency.
- Look for costumes that won't make it difficult for the trick-or-treater to walk or run and if the costume has a mask, make sure it doesn't block their vision.
- Have trick-or-treaters carry flashlights or glow sticks for when they are out and about, and add reflective tape to costumes or candy bags to increase visibility in the dark
- Inspect all candy before allowing your children to eat it. Toss out anything that looks suspicious, is unwrapped, or appears to have been tampered with.
- Notify the Police immediately if you witness any suspicious activity or unsafe conditions.

The Breakers have achieved so much over the past three seasons another club record beckons without barely a mention.
Tomorrow night they are chasing an eighth-straight win, when they host the Sydney Kings, which would equal the club's best winning streak set in the 2010-11 season. A win would also see them notch 100 home wins since entering the Australian league in 2003-04.
"It means it's one more than seven," coach Andrej Lemanis said matter-of-factly of the prospect of equalling the club record. "We don't get too fussed about those things."
Lemanis is not trying to downplay his side's achievements or brush off milestones. It's just only one thing really motivates the Breakers - and that's winning a third consecutive championship.
Forward Mika Vukona was unaware of the impending milestone and, while he said it was "special", explained the side had other aims.
"We want to create the North Shore Events Centre as a fortress and, going away [from home], we pride ourselves on having the best road record," he said. "Those are the two aspects we really focus on. What comes from that is a by-product of those two things."
Incredibly, the Breakers haven't really hit their straps this season. They have established a record of 15 wins and three losses and seem destined to meet Perth (12-4) in the grand final. But they have often had to grind out results after falling asleep at various times during matches. It might appear like they enjoy digging themselves out of a hole but, in reality, they would prefer to win more comfortably.
Their 84-66 defeat of Adelaide in their last match was one of their best all season but they face another challenging double-header considering they travel to face Wollongong on Saturday.
They have played six games in 23 days, five on the road, but there is no better elixir than winning. They are also blessed with the best and deepest roster in the league.
"There's no doubt fatigue is something we are dealing with but that's where our depth is really helping us get through this period" Lemanis said. "People have stepped up and carried the load in different ways and we need to again with another Thursday/Saturday schedule. We will need to spread that load across all 10 players.
"Obviously we are in a good mental space at the moment with the way we are playing and getting wins in this period and we are confident we can continue playing that way.
"We have always spoken about our depth and said we can play 10-deep but this year I truly feel it's the first time we are absolutely 10-guys deep and everyone can actually carry more minutes."
Alex Pledger's role against Sydney might be limited with the big centre still struggling with the ankle injury that saw him sit out the Adelaide game but Vukona has overcome his back complaint.
Sydney are the last team to beat the Breakers, when they prevailed 75-62 at Homebush last month, and they are third on the ANBL ladder with 10 wins and nine defeats. They come into the match on the back of three-straight defeats, including two to Melbourne, and won't want their own streak to continue.

Can't afford a vacation? Afraid to step foot in the sun? Eidos brings
the party to your PC
San Francisco, CA (October 18, 2001) - Eidos Interactive (NASDAQ:
EIDSY), a leading developer and publisher of interactive entertainment
for the PC and console gaming systems, today announced that its party
simulator Spring Break is currently in development by Deep Red. Based
on a game concept by Eidos' executive chairman Ian Livingstone, the
Spring Break bash will begin in Spring 2002.
"A spring break vacation is the perfect experience to bring to the PC.
Eidos has combined everything we love about partying on an exotic island
- live music, romance, beach activities, water sports, bikinis, beautiful
people and hot sun - to create island adventures at their best," said
Ian Livingstone, Executive Chairman at Eidos Interactive. "It's up to
the players to decide what kind of spring break resort they want to
create and the type of people they want to attract to it. Players will
know instinctively how to play it."
Set on a chain of exotic tropical islands, players compete to create
the most successful vacation experience. Gamers build all-inclusive
resorts featuring beautiful hotels, bars, night clubs, restaurants,
water sports, a variety of spring break activities, and more. Once the
party is created, players sit back and watch all the self-indulgent
visitors' fun in the sun. Gamers reap all the joys and the headaches
of running a typical vacation resort, from romance and unruly guests
to food poisoning and inclement weather.
Clive Robert, managing director of Deep Red said, "Spring Break's objective
is to be fun, light-hearted and exotic. It appeals to both males and
females and plays on everyone's desire to head out on a wild, spring
break get-away."
Every scenario in Spring Break is based on a different island. Each
island features different types of guests, unique hazards, various attractions,
and more. In addition, each island has its own set of objectives, which
players must achieve in order to create a successful, thriving resort.
For example, one island objective might require players to focus on
water activities; another may require players to create the ultimate
night club experience. If you manage to accomplish the scenario goals,
you will unlock additional islands and game features.

Refraining from quoting your original post, but thank you, Mrs. P for that well thought-out response.
I think that, in the past, USFSA has made some mistakes w.r.t. team selection. That said, this year is just one of those years where they were faced with very talented candidates and unfortunate circumstances, and they chose what they thought to be the best decision (which I agree with, after having a moment to think over the entire season and what ought to be USFSA's mission instead of reacting purely based on my excitement over Mirai's performance). Whether one agrees with that or not, I don't think anybody can make a definitive case against any subset of 2 out of the 3 top US ladies' skaters right now.
Unfortunate that Mirai can't make World's? Very.
The wrong decision not to send her? A much harder point to prove.

Aluminum is used in many architectural elements in construction.
The Aluminum Anodizers Council has issued a "Call To Action" for its members and others in the aluminum anodizing sector to help thwart an effort by an environmental group that could reduce the use of the materials on extrusions.
The AAC joined with the Aluminum Association to report that a non-profit environmental group called Earthsure is developing on behalf of several window and glazing trade associations a Window Product Category Rule (PCR) that would completely overlook (and therefore penalize) the recyclability properties of certain building materials, including aluminum extrusions.
From the AAC:
A PCR governs how to get an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which is a life cycle analysis "nutrition label" for products. A PCR is a set of specific rules, requirements and guidelines for developing environmental declarations for one or more product categories. The PCRs define the type of data that should be collected, measured and reported in a life cycle analysis. They include instructions for gathering data about the consumption of resources, including energy, water and renewable resources, and emission to air, water and soil. Because data collection methods are standardized, the PCR allows for comparison of different environmental product attributes among products in a defined category. By disregarding the material's recyclability properties, not only would the PCR overlook what makes aluminum one of (if not) the most sustainable and recyclable materials, but would encourage the use of materials that are not recyclable at the end-of-life, and would simply end up being disposed into landfills.
We completely agree with the Aluminum Association that Earthsure has a long and successful history in developing PCRs for various products. However, the proposed rules under this Window PCR would not give credit for recycling and would wrongly assess the estimation of life cycle energy use.
Action: Please visit www.aluminum.org/WindowsPCR and send a message to Earthsure and the sponsoring trade associations, requesting that they change course. The message is pre-written and automated to be delivered to the organizations listed. All you have to do is put in your name, email address and company and press the submit button at the bottom of the page.

I have been looking at both myself, and I like them both. The XD fits my hand better. I have shot the XD and shot it well, but I have not had the chance to shoot an M&P yet. The slide on the XD is slightly more narrow, but I don't think that it is enough to make a lot of difference for CCW.
I should also add that the XD usually sells for less and has more stuff with it.
You probably won't go wrong with either.

DTS is an established digital multichannel audio format that is used in many movie theaters. Only recently has DTS moved into the home theater front. Like Dolby Digital, it uses the 5.1 channel audio output, which includes the left and right front, the center, and the seperate left and right surround. It also adds a low current subwoofer output. DTS differs from Dolby Digital in the fact that they only use about one-fourth the data reduction of Dolby Digital. DTS also uses a 20-bit digital audio signal. The DTS comittment is to deliver an uncompromised reproduction of the original multi-track masters.

You think your Christmas is hard? Try sharing it with Aryan - possibly alien - twins, a pottery-making lesbian life-partner, a brain-damaged supermodel, a perpetually unloved stoner son and a needy neighbour.
So goes The Outfit Theatre Company's description of its end-of-year farce, An Awkward Family Christmas, written by Tom Sainsbury. The cast, made up of Outfit regulars, also includes Chris Tempest, who's taking some time away from Shortland Street to perform with his old friends.
Producer Ema Barton doesn't think it's too much silly for the season, saying it's all part of the company's willingness to push the boundaries. "Our sense of humour meets Tom Sainsbury's writing. We've always had quite a dark sense of humour, but it's definitely a black comedy where we stick to the farce genre with lots of crazy goings-on. I think Tom is a writer who is not afraid to go where other people won't and that works for us."
Fans of The Outfit's fast-paced ensemble works may want to get along regardless, because it could be a few months before they see the company again.
Barton says they want to take a break to consolidate gains they've made, particularly during the last 18 months, and determine a more definite direction and administrative structure.
"We can't take the step back that we need to in order to get to the next level when we're constantly rehearsing and going into production for the next show."
But she promises they'll be back in the second half of next year.
Meanwhile, change is afoot at The Basement, as detailed in last week's arts section by columnist Janet McAllister. The venue is introducing a "risk-sharing" model, which will help new and small companies develop, experiment and generally get themselves established.
It's also fundraising to transform its foyer into a gallery space for emerging visual artists. In Basement tradition, that means a Christmas show with proceeds going toward the renovations. This year, Nic Sampson and Barnaby Fredrick (who wrote the award-winning Short'n'Sweet show Bombs Away) are penning the script described as a Christmas pantomime not for the whole family.
MegaChristmas downloads when Santa's elves and reindeer discover the jolly fat guy has gone missing right in the middle of their busiest time of year.
The race is on to follow a series of clues around the world to find Santa before it's too late.
Like past Basement Christmas productions, it features a revolving cast. So far, Mia Blake, Michael Hurst, Kimberley Crossman, Fern Sutherland, Beth Allen, Fasitua Amosa, Millen Baird, Nic Sampson, Jennifer Ward Lealand, Dave Fane, Bronwyn Bradley, Oliver Driver, Cameron Rhodes, Ash Jones, Yvette Parsons and Sam Bunkall have signed up to take part.
And Tim Bray Productions continues its festive season tradition of staging The Santa Claus Show at the PumpHouse.
Bray and his players have been delighting kids every year with the tale - written 20 years ago for his nieces - of a little girl with the longest Christmas wishlist Santa has ever seen, so he flies her to the North Pole so she can learn what Christmas really means.
This year the cast features Pipiajna Tui Jane as Kelly, Kayne Peters as Elfie and Jon Tamihere-Kemeys as Santa.

Idaho Criminal Rule 29.1. Motion for Mistrial.
At any time during a trial, the court may declare a mistrial and order a new trial of the indictment, information or complaint under the following circumstances:
(a) Upon motion of defendant. A mistrial may be declared upon motion of the defendant, when there occurs during the trial an error or legal defect in the proceedings, or conduct inside or outside the courtroom, which is prejudicial to the defendant and deprives the defendant of a fair trial. When such an error, defect or conduct occurs during the joint trial of two (2) or more defendants, and a mistrial motion is made by one or more, but not by all, the court must declare a mistrial only as to the defendant or defendants making or joining in the motion, and the trial of the other defendant or defendants must proceed.
(b) Upon motion of state. A mistrial may be declared upon motion of the state, when there occurs during the trial, either inside or outside the courtroom, misconduct by the defendant, the defendant's attorney or attorneys, or some other person acting on defendant's behalf, resulting in substantial prejudice to the state's case. When such misconduct occurs during a joint trial of two (2) or more defendants, and when the court is satisfied that it did not result in substantial prejudice to the state's case as against a particular defendant, and that such defendant was in no way responsible for the misconduct, it may proceed with the trial with respect to that defendant.
(c) When verdict not possible. A mistrial may be declared upon motion of either party or upon the court's own motion when it is impossible to proceed with the trial in conformity with law, or when, after jury advice, the court is convinced that the jury cannot reach a verdict.

Thankyou! Watch y-wingfighters thread with his build up for more!
Thankyou! Watch y-wingfighters thread with his build up for more!
Hi, here's a quick update of my second run of vac-formed goggles.
I did a bit of revision on my former and these are Orange or as orange as I could get them!
I'd have preferred them a little darker, but the Acrylic doesn't seem to take anymore colour...
I've got another 2 done and ready to go. I think better start my own build up soon!!
Thanks! I'll be checking my list and hope to sell a couple soon! Helmets, goggles and greeblie kits that is!
Looking good!
Still interested
looken good man Im also working on a y-wing helm, hopefully mine will turn out as good.
Your helmet is looking really good, im looking forward to seeing the end. Did you say Dalek... Awesome!
Thanks! At least I know roughly what the end result is going to look like. Here's the link to ywingfighters build (which you've already probably seen)
Yes my Dalek is a 70's Genesis of the Daleks build. All the hemisphere's are built and he's well on his way!
Hi all,
After the priming and a good flatting I tested out my new paint gun this weekend and gave it 2 coats of silver as a ground. Then I'll get an idea for where I want the scratches and work my way out (like a Fett lid build up) with a grey next.
I got a cheap Airbrush as well as my touch-up paint gun so I shall see how I go!
Very clean work,Rich!Looking forward to your paintjob.
Thanks! Just waiting on some Maskol now and I'm off!
I thought I'd post a quick update of the progress so far. After the silver, I applied a light coat of grey primer, some light brown on top of that. Followed by some white with masking up of areas for chips and scratches.
It's going to get one more of white then its on to the top section for maroon and grey.
Some of the chips will probably get hidden, I'll see how I feel. While it will be pretty close to the Y-Wing lid in Jedi I don't feel I have to follow the distress to the exact letter. I really like some of the chips on the edges! Looks like it's been bouncing around in a cockpit!
Nice work,Rich! Looking forward to your paintjob!
Thanks! Here's a little more progress...
Instead of me using an airbrush for the red (and white) I used a touch-up gun. Just thought I'd mention it incase anyone was wondering!
Masking up and adding red (in 2-3 attempts until the colour looked right!)
Masking removed and the addition of the silver/grey band on the top.
Next up (later hopefully) I'll be breaking out my airbrush and adding matte black to the lower areas and where the buttons go.
The whole thing will of course be getting a lot of "carbon scoring" later!
After a bit of masking up it was time for the addition of some matte black in the lower back area and grooved section...
...after plenty of reference checking I masked the front area for the yellow band.
The yellow covered better than I thought it would actually!
Without the masking it looks something like this...
It's still wet in this picture so the masking fluid is still yet to be removed. I'll do that tomorrow when it's dry.
That's where I'm up to for now!
Hi all,
Still following? Good!
With the yellow band done it was time to plan and mask the green.
A 50/50 mix of greens here running diagonally. Although not 100% screen perfect, it looks pretty good I think.
Next to the green (decal) logo on the right (as you wear it)
The strange thing is, and I shouldn't be surprised at this, but it's really feeling like its seen a lot of action already!
Weird, but that's the effect we're all trying for with the Fett lids too...
Hi Rich,
looking forward to your cool paintjob!
Thanks! I think its going pretty well...
After a look at some reference I thought I'd get the side insignias in blue and green done...
I find it easier to slice some masking tape than buy some "go faster tape" (stripes)!
With 'em about in the right place it was time to commit with paint.
I can see why all 6 Fett lids from ESB and ROTJ are different! Trying to exactly replicate scratches and marks is time consuming!
Stay tuned!
After a moderate amount of painting it was time to add the greeblies. With some trial fitting they looked OK and didn't need too much preparation.
I did decide to epoxy the audio knob (Yamaha engine cover) to a bolt and drill the disc. This way I could avoid the blob of epoxy that appears on the real thing!
The other side was pretty straight forward too...
Next up? The red text I think!
I'm blown away at the level of detail in all these builds.
WOW! That helmet is awesome!
Thanks a lot guys! It's getting there, I've just been a bit busy with other projects otherwise this would be long finished by now!
Soon though!
Hi all!
In between my 2nd oil painting of Dumbledore, I've got on the case with the helmet again!
The text was the next section. I was mulling the creation of the front and side texts.
Either using a transfer, painting it freehand, a stencil or just plain masking up again.
In the end I went with masking up with strips of tape.
There's a couple of minor spots to touch up by brush, but in all looking OK!
I've still some paint mixed for the blue/red winged logo on the other side.
I'm also considering a run of decals for the front "Radio Bolinas" sticker.
Once that's done its a dusting over to grubby the whole thing up...
Feeling quite happy with the progress!
Only another small update but I figured I'd upload! Especially as I'm trying the goggles in it for the first time since I've started painting it!
I'm trying with the idea of some Radio Bolinas decals for the front too..
My first y-wing helmet has just landed in the US, so that's another one out there!
Until next time,

sounds like too much friction between the first and second rounds.
have you tried not topping off the mags (read fill up to one less than capacity) and see how that works? spring tension in the mags might just be a bit too stiff, the should settle and the problem go away after some use. I know some folks fill their mags and leave them loaded for upwards of a couple weeks to decrease tension.

The Tenderloin (otherwise known as the "TL") neighborhood in San Francisco covers roughly 50 blocks and is perhaps the most densely populated part of the city. The area itself is bounded by Van Ness Avenue to the west, Market Street to the southeast, Taylor Street to the east, and Geary Boulevard to the north. Drugs, street prostitution, homelessness, and poverty are everyday realities which define this neglected neighborhood. Although the neighborhood itself is fiercely steeped in degradation the surrounding areas boast the highest rents in the entire city. You have Nob Hill to the Tenderloin's north, the Pacific Heights neighborhood to the west, and the Financial District directly to the east. The Tenderloin has historically been the gateway to more affordable housing for immigrants and other downtrodden types, but typically is a haven for the dispossessed. The origin of the name "Tenderloin" stems from the graft collected by the vice squad who patrolled the area, and who were thus able to buy the choicest cuts of beef. There are many other ideas for why the neighborhood was given this peculiar moniker, but regardless of the explanation they invariably tend to emphasize the neighborhood's seediness and depravity. Supposedly the neighborhood today is undergoing gentrification, but tell that to the crack dealers on the corner and they'll give you a befuddled look because they're mostly Spanish-speaking immigrants from South and Central American countries. But organizations--like rental kingpins Skyline Realty and their subsidiary Citiapartments--are attempting to "improve" the Tenderloin by buying out old apartment buildings, driving out the tenants, and raising the rents astronomically so that only people who can afford pure uncut cocaine can live in them. If this trend persists then the Tenderloin's boundaries may eventually contract to those 10 blocks that radiate from Market street and include St. Anthony's, Boedekker Park, Chez Paree, and the public toilet across from the New Century. God bless America.

text: Here is the full story. Two weeks ago, I took the truck, 2009 Silverado Crew Cab 4x4, when i went fishing. Truck started and ran fine all day. At the end of the day, I drove it down to my friends house which is about 200 yards from my house. When we went to leave that night, the truck was dead, would not start. In the morning, went down, jumped it, and drove it home. The next day, we took it to AutoZone, they checked it and said it was good. They put a load on it and I came back later and they said it checks out as good as a brand new battery (the battery is 8 months old). So, I thought maybe I left something on in the truck. Took the battery home, started the truck, checked everything in the truck to make sure nothing was on, and left it at that. The next day, I checked the voltage to see if the alternator was working correctly, negative lead to the battery, positive to the alternator and it was showing over 15v. I assumed that is correct. Last week, I drove the truck several times and it worked perfectly. However, on Sunday, we went to go get groceries and I noticed about half way there that the battery gauge was well below the 14V mark. I guess the gauge was on about 12 or 13. As we got closer to home, it was down to about 10 or 11. I set there before turning it off and checked to make sure everything was off and then turned it off. I figured it would not start and just left it. Yesterday, I went out to jump it, tried starting it first, and it started right up with no hesitation. Can someone tell me what could possibly have caused all of this? I am at a loss and not really wanting to drive it. The truck is out of warranty, but only has around 54k miles on it. Again, the battery is 8 months old, and have had no battery issues before this.

We woke up and checked out of Kokoro and had Filico and Luca join us at the butterfly observatory. The workers at the observatory showed us how they preserve and maintain the butterflies and how they keep the eggs, larva, pupas and the butterflies. They number each butterflies wings so that when they die and they find them on t he grounds they can approximate their life span.
We went in the different caged areas and saw the butterflies feeding on fermented fruit. they landed on us and we took many videos and pictures (see below)
After seeing the different butterflies, we went and saw the different frogs and learned about their life cycle and saw the tadpoles etc....
We left the observatory and stopped in Nuevo Arenal and had the best burgers ever at this little cafe
We got back on the road and stopped at CooCafe for Cappacuino again and got back to our drive back to the coast. as we circled around the lake there was a rainbow that went from one side to the other. first time i ever saw a complete rainbow. It was amazing.
We made it to the Milagro rental office with 2 minutes til 6. We got out key and went and dropped our stuff off at the villa. We changed real quick and decided we wanted to drive about 45 minutes out to the Rui Resort and Casino. Oh my was it out in the middle of no where!
We finally made it out there and it was definitely like a little city and grande vegas style. we walked around the hotel and the grounds trying to decide if we wanted to eat there. we didnt want to spend the money on their ridiculous buffet so we opted to go in one of the sports bars to get something quick and easy. well as we walked in this man came up behind us and was like " um excuse me you cant be in here you are not guests"
We had no idea
We walked over to the casino and it was tiny for the size of everything else and no one was there and their dealers were so rude....
We decided if we were gonna gamble at a tiny casino we might as well go back to the one in Coco and be close to home.
When we got to Coco we ate at the restaurant at the Casino over looking the pool and had a very yummy dinner. Afterwards we went inside to the blackjack table. There were a few old men in there that we had seen the night before when we popped in and some scantily dressed girls in the corner who had been there the night before. they werent playing so we could tell why they were really there. we were cracking a few jokes about that.
We played blackjack for a long time and we were all up. we had a little system going of taking turns in and out of hands. Later in the evening some guys from denmark that were staying in Coco came and played with us. one of the made a ton of money and kept telling me he loved me since i was cutting all night. Their casino was alittle different where the dealer doesnt deal its last card until everyone else has finished hitting cus they dont have the little machine to slide the corner of the card into it to read if its a face card on potential blackjacks. i wonder how that effects our odds.
They closed the casino early and we were the only ones gambling so i guess we werent enough to keep it open. we went across the street to meet up with the guys from Denmark and their other classmates and i danced a bit with some of their chic friends.
We left and went home and i was having so much fun i stayed up a bit and swam in our infinity pool under the stars. great way to end a great day.

May 8, 2007, 12:00 am ET - Amendment SA 1047 proposed by Senator Brown for Senator Roberts.

Full Text of this Amendment
Strike subparagraphs (E) and (F) of section 505(o)(5) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as added by this Act, and insert the following:
``(i) SERIOUS RISK; SAFETY PROTOCOL.--If the Secretary determines that advertisements lacking a specific disclosure about a serious risk listed in the labeling of a drug or about a protocol to ensure safe use described in the labeling of the drug would be false or misleading, the risk evaluation and mitigation strategy for the drug may require that the applicant include in advertisements of the drug such disclosure.
``(ii) DATE OF APPROVAL.--If the Secretary determines that advertisements lacking a specific disclosure of the date a drug was approved and disclosure of a serious risk would be false or misleading, the risk evaluation and mitigation strategy for the drug may require that the applicant include in advertisements of the drug such disclosure.
``(iii) SPECIFICATION OF ADVERTISEMENTS.--The Secretary may specify the advertisements required to include a specific disclosure under clause (i) or (ii).
``(iv) REQUIRED SAFETY SURVEILLANCE.--If the approved risk evaluation and mitigation strategy for a drug requires the specific disclosure under clause (ii), the Secretary shall--
``(I) consider identifying and assessing all serious risks of using the drug to be a priority safety question under subsection (k)(3)(B);
``(II) not less frequently than every 3 months, evaluate the reports under subsection (k)(1) and the routine active surveillance as available under subsection (k)(3) with respect to such priority drug safety question to determine whether serious risks that might occur among patients expected to be treated with the drug have been adequately identified and assessed;
``(III) remove such specific disclosure requirement as an element of such strategy if such serious risks have been adequately identified and assessed; and
``(IV) consider whether a specific disclosure under clause (i) should be required.
On page 101, strike lines 7 through 9.
At the end of the bill, add the following:
(a) Civil Penalties.--Section 303 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 333) is amended by adding at the end the following:
``(g)(1) Any applicant (as such term is used in section 505(o)) who disseminates a direct-to-consumer advertisement for a prescription drug that is false or misleading and a violation of section 502(n) shall be liable to the United States for a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed $150,000 for the first such violation in any 3-year period, and not to exceed $300,000 for each subsequent violation committed after the applicant has been penalized under this paragraph any time in the preceding
3-year period. For the purposes of this paragraph, repeated dissemination of the same or similar advertisement prior to the receipt of the written notice referred to in paragraph (2) for such advertisements shall be considered as 1 violation.
``(2) A civil penalty under paragraph (1) shall be assessed by the Secretary by an order made on the record after providing written notice to the applicant to be assessed a civil penalty and an opportunity for a hearing in accordance with this paragraph and section 554 of title 5, United States Code. If upon receipt of the written notice, the applicant to be assessed a civil penalty objects and requests a hearing, then in the course of any investigation related to such hearing, the Secretary
may issue subpoenas requiring the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of evidence that relates to the matter under investigation, including information pertaining to the factors described in paragraph (3).
``(3) Upon the request of the applicant to be assessed a civil penalty, the Secretary, in determining the amount of a civil penalty, shall take into account the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation or violations, including the following factors:
``(A) Whether the applicant submitted the advertisement or a similar advertisement for review under section 736A.
``(B) Whether the applicant submitted the advertisement for prereview if required under section 505(o)(5)(D).
``(C) Whether, after submission of the advertisement as described in subparagraph (A) or (B), the applicant disseminated the advertisement before the end of the 45-day comment period.
``(D) Whether the applicant failed to incorporate any comments made by the Secretary with regard to the advertisement or a similar advertisement into the advertisement prior to its dissemination.
``(E) Whether the applicant ceased distribution of the advertisement upon receipt of the written notice referred to in paragraph (2) for such advertisement.
``(F) Whether the applicant had the advertisement reviewed by qualified medical, regulatory, and legal reviewers prior to its dissemination.
``(G) Whether the violations were material.
``(H) Whether the applicant who created the advertisement acted in good faith.
``(I) Whether the applicant who created the advertisement has been assessed a civil penalty under this provision within the previous 1-year period.
``(J) The scope and extent of any voluntary, subsequent remedial action by the applicant.
``(K) Such other matters, as justice may require.
``(4)(A) Subject to subparagraph (B), no applicant shall be required to pay a civil penalty under paragraph (1) if the applicant submitted the advertisement to the Secretary and disseminated such advertisement after incorporating any comment received from the Secretary.
``(B) The Secretary may retract or modify any prior comments the Secretary has provided to an advertisement submitted to the Secretary based on new information or changed circumstances, so long as the Secretary provides written notice to the applicant of the new views of the Secretary on the advertisement and provides a reasonable time for modification or correction of the advertisement prior to seeking any civil penalty under paragraph (1).
``(5) The Secretary may compromise, modify, remit, with or without conditions, any civil penalty which may be assessed under paragraph (1). The amount of such penalty, when finally determined, or the amount charged upon in compromise, may be deducted from any sums owned by the United States to the applicant charged.
``(6) Any applicant who requested, in accordance with paragraph (2), a hearing with respect to the assessment of a civil penalty and who is aggrieved by an order assessing a civil penalty, may file a petition for de novo judicial review of such order with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit or for any other circuit in which such applicant resides or transacts business. Such a petition may only be filed within the 60-day period beginning on the date the order
making such assessments was issued.
``(7) If any applicant fails to pay an assessment of a civil penalty--
``(A) after the order making the assessment becomes final, and if such applicant does not file a petition for judicial review of the order in accordance with paragraph (6); or
``(B) after a court in an action brought under paragraph (6) has entered a final judgment in favor of the Secretary,
the Attorney General shall recover the amount assessed (plus interest at currently prevailing rates from the date of the expiration of the 60-day period referred to in paragraph (6) or date of such final judgment, as the case may be) in an action brought in any appropriate district court of the United States. In such an action, the validity, amount, and appropriateness of such penalty shall not be subject to review.''.
(b) Direct-to-Consumer Advertisement.--
(1) IN GENERAL.--Section 502(n) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 352(n)) is amended by inserting after the first sentence the following: ``In the case of an advertisement for a prescription drug presented directly to consumers in television or radio format that states the name of the drug and its conditions of use, the major statement relating to side effects, contraindications, and effectiveness referred to in the previous sentence shall be stated in a clear and
conspicuous (neutral) manner.''.
(2) REGULATIONS TO DETERMINE NEUTRAL MANNER.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall by regulation establish standards for determining whether a major statement, relating to side effects, contraindications, and effectiveness of a drug, described in section 502(n) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 352(n)) (as amended by paragraph (1)) is presented in the manner required under such section.
