Libreville (AFP) Feb 10, 2011
Boys as young as 13 are still being used as soldiers by the Chadian national army and armed groups on the border with Sudan, Amnesty International said in a report.
"It is tragic that thousands of children are denied their childhood and are manipulated by adults into fighting their wars," the 55-page report quoted Erwin van der Borght, the rights group's Africa director, as saying.
"This scandalous child abuse must not be allowed to continue."
Up to half a million people live in refugee or displacement camps in eastern Chad after being forced to flee their homes by the violence in the region, including Darfur in western Sudan.
"These camps prove to be fertile recruiting grounds for children as the residents have little access to education, few employment opportunities and have often lost relatives and friends in the fighting," Amnesty said.
Well-dressed children are sent to camps with money and cigarettes to lure new recruits, offering between 20 and 500 dollars to those who join up, it said.
"Those aged between 13 and 17 are most likely to be used directly in combat while children as young as 10 are used as porters and messengers," added the report, based on interviews with more than 40 young recruits.
"Some children have been abducted and forced to join the armed forces or armed groups. Others have been motivated by poverty, lack of educational and work opportunities, revenge for killings of family members or pillage of livestock.
"Others told Amnesty International that they wanted to protect their family or ethnic group against attacks by other groups. Young boys often feel they have no choice other than to join armed forces and groups in the area.
A Chadian government programme launched with the assistance of UNICEF in 2007 to demobilise child soldiers and reintegrate them into civilian life has had little success, Amnnesty said.
It blamed underfunding, continued insecurity, extreme poverty and the reluctance of political and military officials to engage with the process.
Government officials deny any policy of recruiting children but do admit there are children in the ranks, it said.
"Amnesty International is particularly concerned about the lack of accountability for those suspected of committing human rights violations, including the recruitment of children," it said.
"There have been no prosecutions of members of the army and armed groups for recruiting and using children."
On January 20 Chadian President Idriss Deby Itno ordered an amnesty for crimes committed by members of the armed opposition, "effectively perpetuating impunity for the human rights abuses committed against children used in hostilities," the report noted.
"Instead of benefiting from amnesty, alleged perpetrators of human rights violations including the recruitment and use of child soldiers should be investigated," Amnesty International said.
"Individuals reasonably suspected of being involved in such crimes should be prosecuted in national courts in trials that meet international fair trial standards," it quoted van der Borght as saying.
"President Deby must issue clear orders to all army commanders not to recruit or use children and to cooperate with demobilisation programmes," he added.
"There is never an excuse to violate the rights of children."

I've not really liked the way that I look for years and years now. I only very recently realised what it is that I dont like. I don't know why but for the last few decades, i've not really been able to 'put my finger on it'. I thought that the problem was that my face was fat, so I exercised like a madman and got myself a rippling 6-pack, yet my face still looked fat to me(especially when I smiled) I know think that the problem may be that I have a small chin? maybe also a weak jawline?

I do not feel that you need a chin augmentation. You do however have the option of using an implant that makes your chin look broader and stronger and may compliment the rest of your facial feautres. You should schedule an consultation with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon.

About Intelligent Talk Television
Intelligent Talk Television is the result of a unique partnership among Iowa Public Television (IPTV), Iowa Public Radio (IPR) and the state's institutions of higher learner. Each year Iowa's colleges and universities bring speakers to their campuses as part of the academic calendar. Faculty, students and the general public in the communities near the college come to campus to hear well-known—and not so well-known—artists, authors, entrepreneurs, scientists, historians and others. Every day Iowa Public Radio brings guests into the studios to discuss relevant topics and issues that affect Iowans. Intelligent Talk Television extends the reach of these events.
Through a unique partnership funded by Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) IPTV, IPR and Iowa's colleges and universities collaborate to bring these speakers to more Iowans through statewide broadcasts on IPTV-Digital. Iowans in small towns and rural areas as well as those living in university communities have access to the same lively, provocative events once available only to those who are lucky enough to live near the campuses. Additionally, some programs are streamed on the Intelligent Talk Television Web site.
Students and faculty members play a crucial role in the Intelligent Talk Television project as faculty members provide supervision and guidance to students who record the events and edit the video for broadcast. IPTV production staff offer support to students through mentoring and internship opportunities.
Check this Web site for dates and times of Intelligent Talk Television programs.

DOUGIE Freedman believes Wanderers finally showed their true worth in Saturday's stunning victory over Hull City.
Three goals inside the first eight minutes from Darren Pratley, Mark Davies and Craig Dawson, pictured celebrating, had Steve Bruce's Tigers reeling before Robbie Brady pulled one back with a deflected free-kick.
Dawson completed the rout to hand the Whites their first back-to-back home victories since March and extend the current unbeaten run to four games.
Freedman had faith that the goals would start to flow after frustrating trips to Nottingham Forest and Derby County, which brought only two points.
But after seeing his side move up to within 10 points of the play-off places, the Scot was hoping they could start to get a momentum going.
"This is a top team we have beaten," Freedman said. "And maybe sometimes when you see me disappointed it's because I know what the players are capable of.
"I understand the bigger picture, the expectations, but I have the privilege of working with these guys every day and that's why I knew somewhere down the line someone was going to take a tonking, and this time it was Hull. Hopefully we can continue that."
Freedman admits time is not on his side when it comes to making the long-awaited promotion push.
Just 13 games remain, with 39 points up for grabs, and there is likely to be little margin for error if Wanderers are to complete an unlikely smash and grab on the top six.
But the Wanderers boss has promised the club's fans he will be doing everything he can to keep the run going.
"It has been difficult for the fans because they have been in the Premiership for years and everyone wants it," he said. "We just feel that we're close.
"Is time running out? Yes, of course it is. I'm not ducking that question.
"But I can only turn up on Monday morning and put in my all in terms of coaching.
"These are good players and it is slowly turning for them because certain players are buying into it."

When we teach ChiRunning®, many people notice that good posture changes the line of their eyesight. Before lifting the crown of your head, your chin is most likely slightly lifted. Notice, right now, where your chin is, then gently lift through the back of the neck and lift your crown (the back of the top of your head) into the air. Don't push or force. Just a gentle lift. Your chin will come down slightly when you do this…and so will your line of vision.

Usually "fuel" is thought of in terms of nutrition…healthy food, supplements, power drinks, gels, and gu…they all promise high performance and lots of energy.

There is a good reason why the protagonist of many action-adventure movies are superb martial artists. When it comes to hand-to-hand engagement, no one can compete against those who are schooled in these ancient, powerful, lightning-fast movements.

None of us really want to feel pain when we walk or run. There are times when you might enjoy a satisfying burn during a workout, and perhaps a bit of an ache the next day. But pain that limits your ability to focus or enjoy life, can be scary. "What if this doesn't change?" "Do I need to see a doctor?" The fear makes us avoid pain, often at great cost.

It's like magic. One second you feel exhausted, as if every ounce of energy and life is drained from your body. Then, from out of no where comes a surge of energy; alive, new, and potent like a rising sun. You have much more energy in your body than you think. At your fingertips are sources of energy that are untapped, underutilized, or not fully activated. Here are a few ways to access that energy while you're running, walking, and living your life:

Health and fitness can sometimes feel like a lot of sacrifice and self-denial. But, a deep inner "YES" is much more impactful than saying no.

I often hear the question, "What do you want?"
What do you want for Christmas? What do you want to do this weekend? What do you want for dinner? What do you want to do for your next running event?
It's the number one question in most self help books. You can't get what you want unless you know what you're aiming for!

I'am willing to bet that King George, Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, and Hu Jintao are proud of President Obama and his current band of Stormtroopers.
In case you have not heard, certain people at the White House (lets call it the Red House, Red for shame and communism) wants to block access to certain internet sites – White House Asking Registrars To Voluntarily Censor 'Infringing' Sites.
Under the disguise of protecting people, the government wants to gain more power. Didn't we hear this once before, like when the government asked people to approve the income tax.
Lets say that internet service providers start blocking sites, whats next? If the owner of the ISP votes democrat, will he/she be block access to pro-Libertarian sites? If the owner of the ISP is Catholic, will he/she block religious sites that are not Catholic? What about Muslim sites, Jewish sites, Baptist sites,,,,,. Once the ball starts rolling, where does it stop?
Just say no to censorship, its just a bad deal all the way around.

PBS: NSA could have prevented 9/11 hijackings
Probably worth a watch to see how PBS spins this--especially given Scheuer's interview...hmm.
RELATED: Excellent interview of James Bamford about his book, The Spy Factory, on Democracy Now! from October 14, 2008. Links here.
– Ed.
Muriel Kane
The super-secretive National Security Agency has been quietly monitoring, decrypting, and interpreting foreign communications for decades, starting long before it came under criticism as a result of recent revelations about the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program. Now a forthcoming PBS documentary asks whether the NSA could have prevented 9/11 if it had been more willing to share its data with other agencies.
Author James Bamford looked into the performance of the NSA in his 2008 book, The Shadow Factory, and found that it had been closely monitoring the 9/11 hijackers as they moved freely around the United States and communicated with Osama bin Laden's operations center in Yemen. The NSA had even tapped bin Laden's satellite phone, starting in 1996.
"The NSA never alerted any other agency that the terrorists were in the United States and moving across the country towards Washington," Bamford told PBS.
PBS also found that "the 9/11 Commission never looked closely into NSA's role in the broad intelligence breakdown behind the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. If they had, they would have understood the full extent to which the agency had major pieces of the puzzle but never put them together or disclosed their entire body of knowledge to the CIA and the FBI."
In a review of Bamford's book, former senator and 9/11 Commission member Bob Kerrey wrote, "As the 9/11 Commission later established, U.S. intelligence officials knew that al-Qaeda had held a planning meeting in Malaysia, found out the names of two recruits who had been present -- Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi -- and suspected that one and maybe both of them had flown to Los Angeles. Bamford reveals that the NSA had been eavesdropping for months on their calls to Yemen, yet the agency 'never made the effort' to trace where the calls originated. 'At any time, had the FBI been notified, they could have found Hazmi in a matter of seconds.'"
Former CIA analyst Michael Scheuer told PBS, "None of this information that we're speaking about this evening's in the 9/11 Commission report. They simply ignored all of it."
Not only was then-Director Michael Hayden never held accountable for the NSA's alleged failure, but he went on to oversee the Bush administration's vast expansion of domestic surveillance. In 2006, he was appointed as director of the CIA.
When asked whether the NSA's warrantless eavesdropping violated FISA law, Hayden insisted, "I have an order whose lawfulness has been attested to by the attorney general, an order whose lawfulness has been attested to by NSA lawyers who do this for a living. No, we're not violating the law. ... I'm asserting that NSA is doing its job."
NSA's power to eavesdrop on ordinary Americans has vastly increased since 2001, and the government's secret watch list now includes over a half a million names. PBS raises serious questions about whether important clues are still being missed simply as a result of the sheer volume of data being collected.
The Spy Factory will be shown over most PBS stations on February 3, 2009 at 8 pm.

Fireworks & the Law
If you bought fireworks to set off for Independence Day and Pioneer Day, note that the last time you can set off fireworks this July is on July 27. Utah laws specifically state that certain Class C fireworks may be discharged in Utah three days before, on the day of, and three days after four specific holidays: July 4, July 24, January 1, and Chinese New Year.
The Department of Public Safety publishes an approved fireworks list each year. This year's list was last revised on July 1, 2009.
In addition to state law, many local ordinances list rules regarding fireworks. To find out if your city or county has a local ordinance about fireworks, locate the local municipality you want to check, and then determine if the local ordinance is available to search online. If it isn't, contact the local city or county clerk.

Post subject: A Lannister Mock
Hey guys, its been a long time since Ive posted on here but I wanted to post a mock and see what you guys thought. I do read the threads on the site everyday though, to keep up on news and get the overall consensus on our beloved Lions. And sorry about the corny name. I couldnt think of anything and I had just put down the 4th Game of Thrones book.
*The numbers Ive used are from TheNetRat
Lions Free Agent re-signings
26.85 million cap spent
-Jason Fox Original Round tender 1.3 million
-Willie Young 2nd Round tender 2 million
-Amari Speivey Original Round tender 1.3 million
Joique Bell, Shaun Chapas, Kris Durham, and Ricardo Silva are all eRFA and resigned. Im not positive on the #s for this but Im going to assume 2 million for the year for all four of them.
-Chris Houston 4 years, 26 million 4 million cap hit
(he is our # 1 priority this year)
-Louis Delmas 3 year, 11 million 2 million cap hit
(this contract would have low guaranteed money, and have a team option next year)
-DeAndre Levy 5 year, 18 million 2 million cap hit
-Justin Durant 3 year, 9 million 2 million cap hit
-Sammie Hill 3 year, 8 million 2 million cap hit
-Lawrence Jackson 3 year, 8 million 2 million cap hit
-Corey Williams 3 year, 8 million 2 million cap hit
-Jason Hanson 1 year, 2 million
-Kassim Osgood 1 year, 750k
-Will Heller 1 year, 750k
-Don Mulbach 1 year, 750k
Players with expiring contracts not re-signed
Keiland Williams, Kevin Smith, Stefan Logan, Dylan Gandy, Gosder Cherilus, Corey Hilliard, Andre Fluellen, Cliff Avril, Erik Coleman, Jacob Lacey, Drayton Florence, Pat Lee, Nick Harris
Player Extension/Restructure
saves 26.5 million in cap
(not positive on whether the restructures would be allowed or not)
-Matt Stafford 3 year, 40 million dollar extension - saves 12 million in cap
-allows us to realocate his salary into the later years of his contract, also has a team option
-Ndamukong Suh restructures 2013 salary into bonus saves 11 million
-the hopes is that he will do an extension during next offseason, if not, restructure again to move part of $20 million dollar cap hit into his final year.
- Stephen Tulloch restructure 2013 salary into bonus saves 3.5 million
-he has a pretty cap friendly contract to start, so adding 1 million a year to each of his bonuses for the last 3 years shouldnt hurt us terribly
Current Players Released
saves 17.75 million in cap
-Dominic Raiola saves 4 million
-Jeff Backus saves 2.75 million
-Stephen Peterman saves 3.25 million
- Shaun Hill saves 2.75 million
-Kyle Vanden Bosch saves 5 million
NFL Free Agency
leaves us with about 10.5 million (with 5 million allocated to rookies)
-Darrius Heyward-Bey 3 years, 12 million 3 million cap hit
-I know its cheating because he isnt a free agent yet but his release is almost guaranteed. He adds size and speed and would be a nice addition to the outside.
-Bradley Fletcher 2 year, 5 million 2 million cap hit
-Bradley is a larger, physical corner and played well in STL before being replaced by Trumaine Johnson.
-Glenn Dorsey 1 year, 1.5 million
-Jake Scott 1 year, 1.5 million
-Lydon Murtha 1 year, 1.5 million
-Drew Stanton 1 year, 1 million

-The overall goal along the defensive line is to test/use Suh more as a DE. I think he would be a good asset out there and he would produce heavily. First, we have the interior line depth to do it. Corey Williams is still a staple player on our team and produces and Sammie Hill is a good player as well. Moving Suh outside would allow us to give Sammie some more reps in a rotation with Williams (Fairley as the starter). Add in a free agent such as Dorsey and his presence wont be missed. Second, Suh played outside some during the Green Bay game and manhandled Marshall Newhouse. His bull rush would be too much for a good chunk of tackles. Third, it would be harder to double team him, as youd have to use a TE. A guard could kick over but if he is playing in a Wide 9 stance, that would be pretty hard to do. Plus it would leave a large gap for a LB blitz or enough room for an agile DT to penetrate. I do have him listed as a DT though so it seems like we are very weak at DE. Wed use a heavy rotation at DE, with Lo Jack being the #1 starter. At some point we are going to have to test these players we acquired in starting roles.
-Linebackers were kept the same and I wouldnt doubt it if Travis Lewis started pushing for playing time.
- Secondary is improved by the additions of Phillip Thomas and Bradley Fletcher. Ron Bartell played well for us in the last Chicago game and him and Fletcher bring a bigger physicality to the corner position, allowing us to play closer to the receiver (that and the addition of Phillip Thomas). Im not ready to write off our secondary yet, as we drafted 3 CB last year who had some promise before getting injured. Phillip Thomas should add a ball-hawking safety to the mix and should become an instant starter. The biggest risk I see is the uncertainty of Speiveys concussion stuff. Another fringe starter should be added if he is unable to go.
-The QB position I took a risk on by releasing Shaun Hill. Matt Stafford has been healthy for two years now and is obviously the future. I would mind us starting to try to develop QBs under him.
-RBs, WRs and TEs see a few additions to the ranks, giving the offense and Stafford more weapons to turn this into a high powered offense.
-The offensive received a major overhaul and a youth movement. Rob Sims is the only remaining starter. There are going to be a few position battles for starting roles in the interior part of the line. Reiff, Fisher, and Sims are for sure starters but the C and RG positions are up in the air. We have 2 in-house prospects in Bill Nagy and Rodney Austin who have received praise. Add in Schwenke to compete for the starting C position and Jake Scott as a veteran back-up, we should be able to fill 2 positions. It also would be an option to bring back Raiola, Peterman, Backus, Hilliard, or Gandy at much cheaper prices.

I may be wrong but with the cap allocations haven't you just pushed a significant part of the hit to later years?
If true it simply delays the problem.
I'm no cap expert but the Lions continue to have cap issues and they implement solutions year by year. I would certainly like to see them implement a solution that's doesn't handcuff the team every year.

I'm no cap expert either, otherwise I'd be making a lot more money. From what TheNetRat says, Suh is only owed 3.5 million in salary for the last year of his contract. Moving his salary around is more of evening out his price rather than dodging his owed monies. We are kind of hamstrung cap wise this year, hence no major free agent signings.
As for Stafford's extension, the cap hit would be defered until later but a large amount could be allocated toward the end in a salary or a roster bonus, which would allow us to cut him/ trade him with no penalty. Best case scenario is that we would renegotiate another contract (ala Calvin Johnson's last year). I just said 12 million saved because that was his salary for this year, to make it easy.
And Tulloch's price isn't to detrimental to the team (only guaranteed 1.3 million per year) so adding 1.2 million per year to the guaranteed money wont hurt too much. I assume we are going to re-evaluate his worth by 2015 and 2016 where his cost increases past 5 million per year. Either he's worth it or he is cuttable. As long as they don't keep doing it every year they should be ok.
No matter what though, we need to figure out something out cap-wise if we are going to field any kind of proper team.

The cap is suppose to explode with the new TV money coming in over the next couple years. Thus pushing money won't be as big of an issue once that kicks in and the cap goes up.

Drew Stanton won't be coming back. I talked with him in person the year before he became a FA and he hinted at wanting to see the field, and I don't see him taking a pay cut. The Lions also won't carry 4 QB's.
I think you overpaid for Delmas and underpaid for Houston, but that's getting picky.

After being passed around a few times, do you think Stanton still feels that way. He did get passed up for Tebow but who knows, I don't know him personally. He wasn't a big part of the mock anyway, as you could replace him with a number of guys who could manage an offense enough.
And I know we won't roll with 4 QB's. It wasn't really a depth chart but more of a list of guys who could make the 53 at each position (I stated that below the 2013 Detroit Lions Roster headline). I don't think we'd carry 6 safeties or 7 WR's either.
I figured Delmas' contract would be more incentive bonus-filled due to his injury history and you're probably right on Houston. Who knows how much they'll actually ask for. There are some big named CBs coming into free agency this year (most likely) so maybe he'll sign a bit cheaper with supply being up.

The pool was open except for two mornings from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. while they did some repair work on the surfacing around the pool.
They are building a new convention area, and when it is completed, they will use the old convention area for new spa facilities (hopefully complete by Feb. 2002), which will make the hotel even nicer.
Our time here was great. Our favorite restaurants in the area were Pairs (Japanese with a California flair) and Bistro Don Giovanni. If you've booked a room here through Priceline, go with realistic expectations, keep in mind the great deal you got, and have a great time!


text: HYDERABAD- Unknown armed men gunned down three cops and injured a passerby during the night falling between Sunday and Monday. The funeral prayers of the three police officers Ishtiaq, Rashid and Maqsood were offered at Police Headquarters in Hyderabad today. Deputy Inspector General Sanaullah Abbasi, SSP Pir Farid Jan Sarhandi, police officers and families of the deceased cops were present in the funeral prayers. SSP Farid Jan Sarhandi, while speaking to journalists after the prayers, said that 12 cops have been targeted in Hyderabad since the past six months by outlawed groups and local gangs. "The investigation of the incident is underway and the culprits will be arrested soon," Sarhandi added. According to details, the firing by the gunmen led to the injury to four cops and a passerby. They were rushed to Civil Hospital where three injured police personnel succumbed to their wounds. The heirs of the deceased held protest demonstration outside the hospital against the incident and also stopped media from coverage. Speaking to media persons DIG Sanaullah said that the firing on police mobile van could be backlash of ongoing military operation against militants in North Waziristan Agency (NWA). He said that only police is not responsible to stop terrorism and all sections of society would have to play their role in this regard. Chief Minister Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah has also expressed his sympathies with the bereaved family and vowed to bring the culprits to book. He has also sought report of the incident from DIG Hyderabad. Meanwhile, Muttahida Qaumi Movement's (MQM) Rabita Committee has also condemned the firing on policemen and demanded to arrest the culprits involved in the firing.

Guy 'Cell Phone Crashes' Fellow Travelers At Airport [VIDEO]
When I first read the description of this video, it didn't sound all that interesting but I clicked on it anyway and man, was I wrong.
This guy hangs out at the airport and searches for people on their phones. He sits down next to them, pretends to be on his phone, listens to their conversations and responds to what they're talking about.
I'm assuming he's not really talking to anyone but if he is, this takes some skill. Check out the video — it will give you a good laugh for sure.

Our lovely Emma Watson, who of course plays Hermione, was attending Brown University before taking a leave to promote the last Harry Potter movie. Lately, there's been rumors floating around that part of the reason Emma left was because she was bullied at the Ivy League University! Could it be??
The short answer is no. Emma Watson laid the rumors to rest by stating that she loved Brown and no one bullied her.
On her official website: "I felt the need to let you all know the reason I took a semester off from Brown had nothing to do with bullying as the media have been suggesting recently.
The rumors come from an incident where a student yelled out, "10 points to Gryffindor" when Emma answered a question in class...which apparently never happened at all. She states that students at Brown were gracious and made her feel comfortable, never singling her out.
"I feel the need to say this because accusing Brown students of something as serious as bullying and this causing me to leave seems beyond unfair," she continues. As for next year, "Please don't try and speculate about what I might do in September—no one can possibly know because I don't even know yet!"

By Mark Halpern - The danger for the Romney campaign right now is the congealing conventional wisdom that the Republican emerged from Tampa and Charlotte meaningfully behind and facing some tough electoral college reality.
This CW is driven by the post-convention polls showing a bump for President Obama; prominent Politico and New York Times stories citing key Republicans acknowledging that Boston is behind in Ohio and other must-win states; Obama outraising Romney in August; and weak Romney and Paul Ryan answers in interviews, on such topics as health care, the US military, and the budget. The "Fox News Sunday" round table yesterday sounded like a postmortem explaining a Romney loss.
The Romney Campaign Is in Trouble

Obama fans probably loved Obama's half-hour show Wednesday night. McCain voters either hated it or turned it off. And undecided voters – who are usually low-information voters anyway – probably didn't watch it.
So it may not make any difference for all the money it cost.
But I had a reaction that may be in the minority of Obama supporters: I thought the program was too downbeat, too pessimistic.
Yes, people are hurting. Obama clearly gets that better than McCain does. And Obama gave us mind-numbing detail about what he plans to do.
But his production was missing the optimistic, can-do note that voters yearn for this year, especially in the final days.
I think Obama missed a big – and expensive – opportunity.

ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain information by the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA), Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the notice. This notice solicits comments on focus groups as used by FDA to gauge public opinion. Policymakers can use focus group results to test and refine their ideas so they can conduct further research, as well as, adopt new policies and to allocate or redirect significant resources to support these policies. DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of information by January 23, 2004. ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information to: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.html&log=linklog&to=http://www.fda.gov/dockets/ecomments. Submit written comments on the collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: JonnaLynn P. Capezzuto, Office of Management Programs (HFA-250), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers [[Page 65939]] Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-827-4659. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology. Focus Groups as Used by the Food and Drug Administration--(OMB Control Number 0910-0497) FDA will collect and use information gathered through the focus group vehicle. This information will be used to develop programmatic proposals, and as such, compliments other important research findings to develop these proposals. Focus groups do provide an important role in gathering information because they allow for a more indepth understanding of consumers' attitudes, beliefs, motivations, and feelings than do quantitative studies. Also, information from these focus groups will be used to develop policy and redirect resources, when necessary, to our constituents. If this information is not collected, a vital link in information gathering by FDA to develop policy and programmatic proposals will be missed causing further delays in policy and program development. FDA estimates the burden for completing the forms for this collection of information in table 1 of this document . The total annual estimated burden imposed by this collection of information is 2,830 hours annually.

Annually, FDA projects about 28 focus group studies using 186 focus groups lasting an average of 1.78 hours each. FDA has allowed burden for unplanned focus groups to be completed so as not to restrict the agency's ability to gather information on public sentiment for its proposals in its regulatory as well as other programs.

LomoAmigo Update: A Calendar of Tales by Neil Gaiman and You2013-02-20 5 Share Tweet
Want a chance to have your artwork or photograph illustrate one of Neil Gaiman's short stories? Well, this might be the perfect chance for you!
Earlier this month, the prolific author (as well as one-time LomoAmigo) Neil Gaiman revealed his role as an ambassador for the mobile company Blackberry, as well as his new writing project, A Calendar of Tales.
Ever the collaborator, Gaiman asked a series of twelve questions (representing the twelve months) on his Twitter account, and encouraged everyone to answer them. He then chose one corresponding answer for each that will serve as the inspiration for the stories in A Calendar of Tales.
And now that he is done writing all twelve fictions, he is now on the lookout for the perfect artwork or photo to illustrate them.
To give you an idea, here are some of the questions that he asked, as well as the answers that inspired him:
Why is January so dangerous?
"Because an aging veteran just retired, to be replaced by a dangerously unqualified youth, no more than a babe in arms." – @zyblonius
Where would you spend a perfect June?
"A refrigerator. Summertime always makes me wish they'd make large refrigerators that people could squeeze in." – @DKSakar
What would you burn in November, if you could?
"My medical records, but only if that would make it all go away." – @MeiLinMiranda
You can read the full details as well as the whole Calendar of Tales here.

Music and recordings from Max Roach, one of the creators of modern jazz drumming, will be preserved at the Library of Congress, curators and his family announced Monday.
Over the past year, the library has been preparing and organizing Roach's personal collection from his body of work over several decades. The collection includes more than 100,000 items, including 80,000 manuscripts and papers, as well as photographs, music manuscripts and hundreds of sound and video recordings.
Roach worked with other such jazz greats as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk to develop the jazz style known as bebop. And beyond the confines of music, Roach was engaged with the civil rights movement.

Mar 25, 2013 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff WriterCentral Wyoming College administrators have requested more time to develop next year's budget due to unanticipated losses of funding.
"We thought we had a good budget and were in pretty good shape," Ron Granger, CWC's vice president for administrative services, said Wednesday during a CWC Board of Trustees meeting. "But we're actually in a bit of a deficit we need to try and correct."
Granger said the cuts came down recently from the state and county levels. First, he said, the 6 percent reduction in funding approved during the most recent state legislative session actually amounts to a 6.8 percent cut.
"Because of the way it's calculated, it uses your local funds to consider your local cut," Granger said. "So that was a little more than I expected. I'm learning as I go along."
The "big hit" was related to Fremont County's assessed valuation, however. Granger said property values are down 6.5 percent.
"For us that means (a loss of) $230,000," Granger said. "We just found that out on Monday."
More time
He asked for an extra couple of weeks to "find some money" and solidify CWC's budget for fiscal year 2014 so it is as accurate as possible when he presents it to the board. CWC President Jo Anne McFarland suggested the board move its budget study session, which currently is scheduled for April 10, to May 7.
"In May I'll have better figures," Granger said.
"We'll make sure what the assessed valuation will be (and) expense-wise with utilities we'll be able to predict that better. Same with tuition (revenue)."
He will give the board a budget overview and update during its April 17 meeting.

TUSTIN – Santa Ana winds stole the show at Friday's kickoff of Tustin Tiller Days, delaying at least one carnival ride in the family friendly festival, organizers said.
Organizers at Columbus Tustin Park used 20 55-gallon water tubs and orange barriers to weigh down the tents in preparation for strong winds this weekend, Parks and Recreation supervisor and Tiller Days liaison Christine Zepeda said.
A red-flag warning of critical fire conditions was issued Friday by the National Weather Service, with wind gusts that could reach 60 mph through Saturday morning.
Tiller Days, which runs through Sunday, includes rides, carnival games, two stages of live entertainment and an assortment of foods. Lines of more than 100 people quickly grew when the gates opened at 4 p.m., but at least a few rides were not open until after 5:30 p.m., including the ferris wheel and some of the smaller rides. Tiller Days festival committee Chairwoman Donna Marsh Perry said that at least one ride was delayed because of the wind.
"I think the wind threw everything for a loop," Perry said. "We had to go back and shore everything up."
Aside from the winds, organizers said the event started smoothly and that vendor booths were sold out. The festival, which began in 1957 as a celebration of the city's agricultural history, is held annually at the park and school grounds of Columbus Tustin Middle School. This year's event includes two roller coasters and a new mini auto show from local dealers, according to Tiller Days organizers.
Despite the delays, rides were a big draw for residents, who came in droves with their children to explore the fun house, swings, roller coasters and games.
"If (Tiller Days) wasn't here, the kids would notice," said Tustin resident Judy Zimmerman, 49, who was watching over her 10-year-old son and his friends. "This isn't something that shows up in every town."
About 65,000 people are expected to attend over the course of the weekend, and more than 2,000 presale wristbands were sold, Zepeda said.
A total of 75 vendors showed off unique crafts and goods, including granola, fudge and outdoor furniture. An additional 28 nonprofits and school groups are fundraising by selling favorite carnival foods, including funnel cake, burgers, gyros and Caribbean meals.
While Tustin resident Kim Patrick's young charges were excited about the "swings" and "big rides," she said she preferred the Saturday parade to the carnival festivities.
"I like celebrating the fall and the harvest, the small-town atmosphere of it" said Patrick, 45.
Tomorrow, the parade will start at 10 a.m. at the corner of Main Street and Pacific Avenue, and move down Main to end at Prospect Avenue and Beneta Way. About 130 groups will perform in this year's parade, including antique tractors, ROTC, sports teams and Boy Scouts. Wahoo's Fish Tacos co-founder Wing Lam is this year's grand marshal, and voice actor Terri Douglas and teen star Michael Grant are two of the featured celebrities.
Friday included performances from Caribbean/reggae band Upstream and Journey tribute group DSB on the main stage, in front of the sports zone. The community stage, on the right when entering the festival grounds, hosted bands from Columbus Tustin Middle School, Pioneer Middle School and Orange Lutheran High School, as well as Pioneer's orchestra, the Smrf Kids Dance Crew and singer TyRon Jackson.
