Dear Ms. Weil:
This letter is in response to a warning letter for CTS# G070098/E001 dated May 22, 2012 from the FDA, which I received at my office on May 24, 2012. I want to respond to the issues raised in the warning letter, in order to provide clear information on corrective actions and any appropriate preventative actions we have taken or will undertake in the future. We remain very committed to maintaining the safety of research participants and to limit all study-related risks to the greatest possible extent. Importantly, this study is closed to enrollment and we are now in the process of data dissemination. Accordingly, some requests for future planning and preventative actions will not be applicable. I would like to request that this response to the warning letter is posted on the FDA website.
1. Failure to ensure that informed consent was obtained in accordance with 21 CFR Part 50 [21 CFR 50.25(a)(2) and 812.100].
FDA COMMENT: "Your response is inadequate in that you do not fully explain your procedure for ensuring that site staff will access the correct lCD version in future situations. Please provide a description of this procedure and documentation of staff training on the procedure."
RESPONSE: As previously mentioned, we have not enrolled any participants within the last year and have closed the study to future enrollment. Accordingly, staff training on ICD procedures is not applicable for this investigation. In future studies, however, we will ensure proper procedures, training, and documentation for correct ICD use.
FDA COMMENT: "…since hearing risks were not provided to subjects as a result of receiving the wrong lCD. Please provide us with copies of any communications to subjects and the results of your follow-up attempts."
RESPONSE: We want to address two points raised in this issue. First, we agree that insufficient written information was provided in the original ICD regarding our methods to protect hearing. However, even though the most current version of the ICD was mistakenly not used, subjects were provided with the exact same information regarding hearing risks in both the original and revised ICD's. The below sections of the original and revised ICDs describe hearing risks and methods around this.
The original ICD stated the following:
Other risks that could occur with TMS include dental pain and mild hearing loss (we will have you where ear plugs to limit this risk).
The revised, FDA-approved ICD indicates the same information regarding hearing-related risks, but explicates our methods for protecting hearing in written form as follows:
Other risks that could occur with TMS include dental pain and mild hearing loss. To limit the risk of hearing loss, we will provide you with earplugs which we will ask you to wear during delivery of TMS. We will frequently re-check the earplugs to make sure they are staying in your ears. If you feel the earplugs become loose or fall out, please let us know immediately. We will stop TMS to correct the earplug placement. We will also stop TMS if we notice that the earplugs become loose.
CORRECTIVE ACTION: In regards to the second point raised, i.e., follow-up attempts with subjects, we have documented recent follow-up phone conversations with subjects regarding any hearing changes. This information has been recorded on the Case Report Form (copies of these forms are provided in Appendix). We have spoken with 12 of the 16 subjects. We learned that one subject had since passed away sometime around (b)(6). In the case of the remaining three subjects, we were unable to reach two after three phone attempts and another individual's phone has been disconnected. All three of these individuals were sent a letter by certified mail to their last known address requesting them to contact the PI. These letters specifically ask that the subjects provide contact information with a request for the individual to contact the PI by mail or phone. Copies of these letters are included in the Appendix.
During these post-study follow-up phone calls, we noted four reportable (non-adverse) events that we deem as unrelated to study procedures. One subject had an episode of internal bleeding related to being on a blood thinner. One subject had apparent bladder problems. One subject passed away. One subject had a traumatic liver injury. In each of these cases, the health event occurred 2 to 3 years following their participation in the study. Each of these events were reported to the local IRB on June 4, 2012. We have included a an expanded summary of information obtained in these and the 'unremarkable' phone calls in the Appendix.
2. Failure to maintain accurate, complete, and current records relating to all relevant observations, including anticipated and unanticipated adverse events [21 CFR 812.140(a)(3)(ii)].
FDA COMMENT: "In your response letter, pg. 8, Corrective action for Observation 5i and ii, you stated that you will report adverse events to the IRB and FDA in accordance with reporting requirements. Your response is inadequate in that you did not tell us how you rectified the adverse event deficiencies listed above, or provide us with your future process for obtaining and reviewing adverse events and with documentation of staff training. Please provide this information in writing."
RESPONSE: We agree that information consisting of potential adverse events should be appropriately reported. At the time, these occurrences were viewed as completely unrelated to study activities that had occurred one or more months prior. Additionally, most of these are of a nature that does not relate to any of the known risks in our protocol. On the other hand, we understand that some unknown risks may occur and therefore there exists some possibility that health-related events may somehow be related to participation in the study. Further, we also appreciate that documenting individual events that appear unrelated to the study may establish a pattern of adverse effects that were unanticipated. In the case of the events raised by the FDA, we do not believe that the health-related issues were resultant from participation in the study.
CORRECTIVE ACTION: We submitted the events and observations noted by the FDA reviewers to the local IRB for review on May 29, 2012. We have also reviewed the remaining phone logs for any additional adverse events or health-related observations. We found no new adverse or problematic health events in any additional phone logs. We did, however, note two health improvements in a subject who had been identified by the FDA reviewers on Form 483. Specifically, subject BS001 reported during a 1/25/08 phone call that she no longer needed an eye patch and had not had headaches for the previous two weeks. We want to bring this to the attention of the FDA, because as the FDA reviewers noted in their Form 483 report, there had been some negative health issues with the subject post-study intervention. A copy of this phone log is provided in the Appendix.
PREVENTATIVE ACTION: Because all subjects enrolled have finished the study protocol and no further subjects will be enrolled, we generally do not anticipate any further adverse events or health-related observations. As reported under item #1 above, we are in the process of contacting these past subjects to follow up. The four reportable events have been submitted to the IRB for review (on 6/4/12). We are awaiting responses back for three past participants who were mailed a certified letter requesting them to contact us. For these remaining three individuals, if we learn of any changes in health or adverse events, we will immediately report to the IRB.
3. Failure to maintain accurate, complete, and current records relating to each subject's case history and all relevant observations, including records showing the dates and reasons for each deviation from the protocol [21 CFR 812.140(a)(3) and 812.140(a)(4)].
FDA COMMENT: "In your response letter, Appendices 1, 2, 4, and 7, you provided copies of your revised Screening procedure, General Study procedure, Neurology Screen form, and your newly-created Case Report Form for documenting events not otherwise captured in the study documents. We also request that you provide documentation of staff training on these procedures and the use of these forms."
RESPONSE: As previously mentioned, we have not enrolled any participants within the last year and have closed the study to future enrollment. Accordingly, staff training on these forms currently is not applicable for this investigation. In future studies, however, we will use these forms (or something very similar) to ensure proper procedures, and will conduct and document training on the use of the forms.
4. Failure to prepare and submit progress reports to FDA at regular intervals and at least yearly [21 CFR 812.150(b)(5)].
FDA COMMENT: "In your response letter, pg. 9, Corrective action for Observation 7, you stated that you had incorrectly assumed that progress reports were no longer necessary because the study was no longer enrolling subjects. You sent a letter, dated February 24, 2012, to the FDA Document Mail Center explaining this situation, stating that you are now in the process of drafting the progress report. Please provide us with an update on the status of this progress report and an expected completion date."
CORRECTIVE ACTION: A progress report was sent to the FDA on May 3rd 2012 and received by the FDA on May 7th 2012 (verification of receipt of the progress report is included in the Appendix, i.e., in a letter from the FDA dated May 7th 2012). Through email communications with the scientific reviewer, Dr. Bernard Berne, at the FDA, I and the reviewer determined that a termination of the investigation was appropriate given that we are done enrolling subjects. Dr. Berne indicated in his email dated May 15th 2012 that the "FDA's response to your submission will acknowledge the termination of your investigation". Copies of the email communications are included in the Appendix. After a teleconference with FDA representatives Adam Donat and Kathy Weil (meeting minutes in Appendix), I understand that I should also send a letter to the FDA to explicitly indicate our intention to close the investigation. A copy of said letter is included in the Appendix and will be mailed the week of June 4, 2012.
FDA COMMENT: "In your response, pg. 9, Corrective action for Observation 8i, ii, and iii, you stated that you plan to expand the DSMC responsibilities to include review of all study forms and procedures to ensure compliance with the written protocol and Standard Operating Procedures, and reporting of all findings. Please provide us with a complete monitoring plan including your proposed expanded procedures for monitoring."
RESPONSE: As previously mentioned, we have not enrolled any participants within the last year and have closed the study to future enrollment. Accordingly, we will not be convening another DMSC meeting. In future studies, however, we will form a DSMC with duties and procedures that align with the FDA's Guidance for Clinical Trial Sponsors: Establishment and Operation of Clinical Trial Data Monitoring Committees.
I am happy to provide additional information as the FDA may require. I will also send a copy of this report to the FDA's Denver District Office as requested in the warning letter. I am the contact person for this application. I authorize the FDA to contact me by email or fax regarding this application.

Great Cruise NB Alaska June 19, 2013: Coral Princess Cruise Review by fishin' musician
Overall Member Rating
Great Cruise NB Alaska June 19, 2013
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Vancouver
June 18 – Flew to Seattle, 10:40 p.m. arrival, overnight at the Best Western Executel. The hotel offered 24hr shuttle service and a decent enough breakfast. We found it to be a fine place to lay our heads down for a few hours.
June 19 – Following breakfast we took the shuttle back to the airport for a Princess Motorcoach transfer to Vancouver. Had a bit of delay at the border as some crazy, screaming pedestrian woman attempted to board our bus and was pursued and detained by the customs officers. We arrived at the cruise terminal about 1:30 p.m. and were on the ship about 20min later. We enjoyed a very nice sail-away, although it was More cool and cloudy.
June 20 – Cold and drizzle forced us to pursue indoor activities today. Although I did spot some whales as we were coming off the north end of Vancouver Island. Our routing went east of Vancouver Island whereas Seattle departures go out in the ocean (west of Vancouver Island).
June 21 – A short stay in Ketchikan; 6:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. We had a great time with friends from Ketchikan. We got the local perspective of this small rain forest area. There was a great sense of community here. He is a commercial fisherman by trade and I am an avid sport fisherman. We were treated to a great lunch with succulent black cod, king salmon and dungeness crab dip! As we dined we watched the Celebrity Century sail in from their beautiful waterfront home on the Inside Passage. It was interesting to note that homes in this area rely on rainwater collected in basement cisterns for non-potable water. They do not have wells. There was a 1500-gallon cistern in this house, which I'm told is on the smallish side. After a tour of the fishing boat (45ft steel vessel), we are back at the dock to board the ship at 1:30. The ship's naturalist provided commentary late this afternoon as we came into an area known for sea mammals. We saw several humpback whales and some sea lions on a buoy .
June 22 – Today we are celebrating our 28th anniversary. We get off the ship around 10:00 and browse a few shops before boarding a local bus for the Lumber and Mining competition/festival out on Douglas Island. We dined on pulled pork from a roasted pig. Back in Juneau, we shopped for souvenirs and then decided to take the tram up Mt. Roberts. Once on the mountain we set off on some of the hiking trails and almost made it to the next peak. We got some great photos… my wife kept singing, "The hills are alive…" Back at the tram terminal we checked out the restaurant, decided to try it, and are glad we did, it was fantastic! The fresh seafood combined with the mountain top view was a great way to cap off our anniversary! Also, tonight was the first night it never got dark.
June 23 – Fishing is my primary focus today. Last night I purchased a one-day license online and printed it at the internet café. DW and I head off around 9:00. After two days of clouds and drizzle, today we are greeted with bluebird skies! She heads to the shops and I head to Pullen Creek that flows between the mountain and the bay. I found some great looking spots, but no takers. I meet up with DW and we go back to the ship for lunch. Following lunch, we head back out to hike the trail up to Lower Dewey Lake. It's probably about a 30min hike to the lake. The lake is absolutely stunning, however we failed to consider the mosquitos and thus were without repellent. This forced DW to head back, however I continued my attempts to land a fish. I was encouraged when I had some followers of my Mepps spinner on the first couple of casts… but after losing the spinner to a tree and having to cast alternative offerings the followers were no longer interested. So, I shed my shoes and socks to brave the icy waters in an attempt to retrieve my spinner… I could not hack it, even though the water was only knee deep, it was just too painful, so my spinner remains in the tree. I worked my way south and when almost to the spillway at the south end I had a good solid hit, the subsequent cast produced a beautiful 8" dolly varden trout, first one I'd ever seen. The coloration is very similar to a brook trout. I continued to fish for another hour or so working my way around the end of the lake, over to a creek on the south east side that flowed into the lake. By now, it was about 7:00, I thought I'd better head back to make sure I was aboard the ship by 8:00.
It was a beautiful sail-away and as the skies turned to twilight and we turned west, a bright full moon hovered over the southern horizon.
June 24 – Today is a sea day/ Glacier Bay. Several (4?) National Park Rangers boarded around 7:00 a.m. with commentary starting at 8:00. They set up a table and displays in the covered pool areal on deck 12. It was another beautiful blue-sky day. The commentating ranger pointed out mountain goats and later a brown/grizzly bear on the beach. We visited several glaciers and witnessed calving with the accompanying thunder. As we were sailing toward the bottom of the bay, we saw whales and dolphins as well as numerous sea otters and a few puffins. The Sapphire Princess passed us as they were coming in a few miles to the east. The rangers exited the ship around 3:00 and the naturalist started her commentary about 4:00. Soon we were literally surrounded by humpback whales. My wife saw one breech. We lost track of how many, but it was dozens. As we sailed out of the bay and headed for the ocean the winds picked up but the ship remained quite steady (even in our far aft balcony).
Our other Alaska cruise included Tracy Arm Fjord/Sawyer Glaciers and there seems to be an ongoing debate about which is better, Tracy Arm or Glacier Bay. Most give the nod to Glacier Bay, I'm not sure I agree. They are very different experiences. I think I need to do them both again!
June 25 – Today is at sea. College Fjord is scheduled around 5:00 p.m. We packed in the afternoon and by late afternoon were beginning to see the glaciers of College Fjord. It was very scenic with lots of sea otters. Around midnight it was still daylight and we were pulling into Whittier. The next day we would take a transfer to the Anchorage airport, rent a car, lunch at Humpy's (as featured on Man vs Food) and spend two nights at the Princess McKinley Lodge (about halfway between Anchorage and Denali). The following day we would head up to Denali, return for night two at the lodge and then a leisurely drive back to Anchorage to catch our 9:00 p.m. flight on Friday (including some fishing stops).
All in all it was a fantastic cruise. The crewmembers without exception were upbeat and personable. The food was at least OK. The ship was sparkling. The coffee and production shows were lousy as ever. This was our first experience on this class of ship and I really liked the layout, but found the showers to be the smallest I've ever had. Nevertheless, after straying to Royal Caribbean and Celebrity for our last two cruises it was great to be home again! Less

Why Cherry-Picking Programs to Fund is No Way to Govern
October 09, 2013 | Olivia Golden
Head Start and WIC (formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children) are among the most crucial public programs for young children's wellbeing and long-term success. Both target vulnerable young children and their parents, with Head Start providing early childhood education along with comprehensive family support and WIC providing nutritious food, counseling on healthy eating, and health care referrals to low-income pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and children under age 5.
Yet CLASP rejects attempts to provide temporary funding for these programs while continuing to leave most federal government programs and services unfunded and shut down. Piecemeal solutions to the federal government shutdown just won't work, because families that use Head Start and WIC also need what all the rest of us need – USDA inspectors on the job to make sure food is safe, CDC public health experts monitoring flu infections, scientists finding the next breakthrough in health, worker safety experts at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration protecting us on-the-job, and all the rest of the work of the federal government. The effort by the leadership in the House to cherry-pick certain programs for funding while neglecting to act on the overall budget is a dangerous precedent and an ineffective way to govern.
It is particularly important that the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which is crucial to all families but above all to the vulnerable families using Head Start and WIC, is not bargained away. The millions of people who will for the first time have health insurance on January 1 under the ACA include parents like the mother I shared a podium with at the National Head Start conference last week, who will at last be able to get medical treatment she needs through the ACA. Having a healthy parent is important to young children's development just like having an early childhood program and enough to eat. We should not force families to choose by holding programs hostage and offering to reopen the government piece by piece. That is why we need an approved budget – and why the piecemeal approach to restoring politically sensitive programs is a nonstarter.
Piecemeal solutions are not only cynical and unfair; they also have hidden costs and inefficiencies. When staff are laid off or furloughed, whether at the national level or in states or local programs, they lose momentum and take time to start up again when they come back. Piecemeal, start-and-stop approaches to opening the government undercut morale and commitment even among the most dedicated staff.
Congress should allow all government programs to resume while it returns to work on a budget for the entirety of FY 2014. Congress should also raise the debt ceiling immediately, removing the threat of an economic shutdown that the U.S. Treasury finds would cost millions of jobs, disrupt government payments, and raise the cost of borrowing for years to come. And Congress should let the ACA stand as the law of the land, as millions of Americans are in need of health coverage. It's time to set aside the cherry-picking, the brinksmanship, and the hostage taking, and get to work.

An announcement regarding Temple's return to the Big East could come as soon as Monday.
The school has given a verbal agreement to join league this fall, according to CBSSports.com. And the conference would like the announcement to come on the eve of the start of the Big East basketball tournament Tuesday.
Adding Temple would give the conference eight football schools for 2012 after West Virginia was permitted to enter the Big 12. The addition would help other teams in the league that were looking at playing six non-conference games this season.
Temple was a football member of the Big East from 1991-2004. The Owls didn't win more than four games during any of those 14 seasons before the conference cited poor attendance as the reason for removing the school.
Still left to be resolved is how Temple sorts out its departure from the Mid-American Conference for football. That league requires two years notice and a $2.5 million buyout. Temple also must sort out an exit from Atlantic 10 for other sports.
The logistics of doing both of those deals in time for this fall could see Temple leave the MAC for football and delay entry for all sports until 2013.
Both Big East commissioner John Marinatto and MAC commissioner John Steinbrecher declined comment to CBSSports.com.
Steinbrecher said last month he was aware of Temple having discussions with the Big East.

Bird Veterinary
Have Bird Questions? Ask a Bird Specialist.
Your birds may be suffering from a bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic problem, all of which need to be properly diagnosed by a vet. professional to be correctly treated. Although the initial outlay will be costly, if you wish to have and maintain a flock, it is sort of a necessity to get help until you have a feel for what's going on.
Here is a site for UK poultry vets: http://poultrykeeper.com/poultry-vets-uk/poultry-veterinary-practices-services-uk/.
If you do lose another one, it might be less costly to have a post-mortem exam performed to protect the rest of your flock.
Until you can get to a vet, please isolate all those who look sick - even mildly so - and put them in a secure, warmed clean environment with pure water, and lots of tasty treats, such as a mash, chopped greens, and juicy pieces of fruit (in addition to their regular food).
I hope this helps and answers your question. If you are satisfied with this answer, please press the green ACCEPT icon. If you have more questions about this problem, please press 'reply'. Bonuses and feedback are always appreciated. Thank-you.
Dr. Lisa
Dr. Lisa,
Thank you for your well-intentioned advice, however I have to say that basically telling me to go to a vet kind of defeats the object of Just Answer. It's like an online mechanic telling me to go to a garage to sort my car problem out if you are with me.
Unfortunately I have now had to dispatch the chicken.
Dear Mr. Smith:
I am sorry that the purpose of this site was not made clear: it is purely an informational one. I cannot tell you what is wrong with your bird because I have never seen her; I can tell you my best guesses and offer you suggestions on what you should do next, but I can in no way, replace the need for an exam.
Please accept my sympathy for your loss,
Dr. Lisa

Mad Men season four review
Slick and audacious as ever despite unwelcome dose of ham as Don, the most handsome man in New York adjusts surprisingly badly to bachelorhood
Warning: contains spoilers
Manhattan's extreme meteorological fits of the past forty-eight hours — wilting humidity followed by fierce storms and finally something close to temperatures possible to function in — mirrored the fevered lead-up to season four of Mad Men.
How would the show's creator Matthew Weiner, who wrote this premiere episode, refresh his beloved, lavishly adored show? The heat was on, please let the show meet it, but for heaven's sake also cool us down.
Much as we love the glowering, the silences, the anti-plot engine that perversely powers Mad Men, some perspective was required to offset the all-consuming Mad Men love preceding the main event: it was getting oppressive.
Thankfully, Weiner orchestrated a slickly audacious, and welcome, cold front — despite a sudden, unwelcome…

5 Pros
- The Infiniti M Hybrid version: Nearly as fast as a A$400k Aston Martin in a straight line (with a claimed 5.5 second time from 0-100km/h) and more efficient than a Toyota Corolla. This is the peach of the Infiniti range and worthy of its world record
- 16 speaker Bose sound system: Not standard on all cars, but this surround system is epic
- Interior: A few cheap touches, but generally pretty good – think business rather than first class
- Speed: All the models are very quick in a straight line (although not as composed over bumps or around corners as some competitors)
- Service: 4 year warranty and a strong focus by the new distributors on customer satisfaction. Take advantage of this while volumes are still small
5 Cons
- Badge image: Younger than Lexus, but without the same prestige (yet…)
- Boot space: Awkward in most models (with no folding rear seats) and non-existent in the Hybrid
- Looks: Think seagull – graceful, but hardly head turning
- Fuel efficiency: Poor in the petrol models
- Expensive: Cheaper than BMW but about the same as Lexus. Infinti will be worth this much in five years but probably not now
Concluding personality type: Kyoto: Not Berlin, Not London, Not Tokyo, but still worth a visit

Icing accidents persist even for experienced IFR pilots
Accretion vulnerabilities pose dangers that require awareness both on ground and aloft.
|Remote sensing systems that map aircraft icing conditions in the flightpath would allow icing to be avoided and exited. However, airborne systems to display conditions with icing potential are currently only vaguely promising.
|NASA proposes the use of advanced ground radars to remotely-sense icing conditions and then broadcast their location so that pilots would have the same display as the ground operator.
Structural icing must be removed before flight. While failing to deice when mandated is regrettable, it happens.
In Siberia recently, an ATR72 crashed minutes after takeoff from TJM (Tyumen, Russia), the cause being an alleged failure to deice.
Even aircraft equipped for flight into icing conditions are affected by structural icing on unprotected areas.
A NASA study showed that nearly 30% of the total drag associated with an ice encounter remained after clearing all protected surfaces.
(Nonprotected surfaces may include antennas, flap hinges, control horns, fuselage frontal area, windshield wipers, wing struts, fixed landing gear, etc.)
Given the same structural icing conditions, one cannot assume that accretion rates and aerodynamic effects are the same for all aircraft types.
It is equally imprudent to rely on pneumatic deicing systems for protection in exceptional icing conditions.
Propulsion system icing becomes more likely by failing to blend a fuel system icing inhibitor (FSII) correctly with jet fuel to stop ice crystal formation in the fuel tank.
Also, delayed activation of ice protection systems in flight can cause large pieces of ice to enter and damage the engine.
Threat and error management
Icing threats can only cause deviation or harm if, through errors, they are allowed to cause an undesired aircraft state. Returning to a desired aircraft state requires mitigation plans (in this case, through evolving technology and sound decisionmaking) meeting the needs of threat and error management.
Ground icing
The absence of consistent runway condition descriptors prompted the University of Waterloo (Ontario, Canada) to develop a braking availability tester (BAT) to validate using braking action in preference to friction measurement. The system provides pilots with a meaningful indication of the least available braking when maximum braking is applied (as during a rejected takeoff).
Similarly, the FAA Takeoff and Landing Performance Aviation Assessment Rulemaking Committee (TALPA ARC) developed a reporting matrix which improves correlating reported runway condition with airplane performance (ukfsc.co.uk/files /External%20Meetings/ Specialist%20Subject/Int%20Winter%20Ops%20Conference%20C%20Collett %20presentation%20Oct%202011.pdf).
Related rulemaking will be rolled out over the next 3 years. The pilot version of the runway condition matrix is one of the TALPA ARC products that represent a significant improvement over current practices.
The main strategy for countering ground icing is the "clean airplane concept," which prohibits takeoff during conditions conducive to airplane icing when ice, snow, slush or frost is present or adhering to the wings, propellers, control surfaces, engine inlets or other critical surfaces.
Although specific regulations vary from country to country, all are founded on ICAO standards and recommended practices (SARPs) which require the following:
• A flight to be operated in known or expected icing conditions shall not be commenced unless the airplane is certified and equipped to cope with such conditions, and
• A flight to be planned or expected to operate in suspected or known ground icing conditions shall not take off unless the airplane has been inspected for icing and, if necessary, has been given appropriate deicing/anti-icing treatment.
NASA offers a free online course intended primarily for pilots who make their own operational deicing and anti-icing decisions. The website is icebox.grc.nasa.gov/education/products.html.
Structural icing
Battelle dispersed nanotubes into a coating solution to make it conductive. When power is applied, it heats up like a resistor. The coating has been tested in an icing tunnel using a scrap UAV wing.
The Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) has 2 current goals to make airplanes more icing tolerant. The first regards basic airplane design (SE039), setting icing criteria to reduce fatal loss-of-control accidents by recommending amended icing certification criteria for new airplane designs not equipped with evaporative (ie, hot wing) systems.
The criteria would include performance and handling quality requirements for residual ice, intercycle ice, delayed anti-icing/deicing system activation, and anti-icing/ deicing system malfunction.
The 2nd related CAST initiative improves situational awareness during low-visibility operations and flight in icing conditions through the development and use of smart-pitch guidance systems (SE134) on all new type design airplanes to help prevent over-rotation in conjunction with a low-energy state or aerodynamic degradation due to the presence of ice on critical flight surfaces.
Detection refers to sensing the presence or potential of icing as well as assessing its severity and rate of accretion in order that appropriate avoiding action can be taken. Areas of icing activity are hidden from most detection systems because ice is a poor radar target above the freezing level, especially in precipitating clouds.
NASA has a mission to develop real-time, inflight, remote sensing of hazardous icing conditions, characterized by an SLW droplet environment several miles ahead of the aircraft. Two methods are currently in review. The first uses ground-based polarimetric radars optimized to detect SLW in cloud. The returns are suitably processed and broadcast to receiving aircraft as shown in the upper right illustration on this page.

I read the article on eczema bleach bath treatment. During my youth I had a severe problem and the ointments prescribed drove me crazy. After I went into a chlorinated swimming pool on several occasions, the problem finally went away. This was 50 years ago. I think this, in a small way, reaffirms your study.

Lil Jon Narrates American Eagle Commercial
National clothing retailer American Eagle Outfitters announced today that Atlanta producer Lil Jon will be narrating a promotional animated short on the company's website. The clip, titled "Snowman," is part of their ongoing "AE Winter Tales" series, which is comprised of five stop-motion animated shorts that use claymation to tell humorous holiday-themed stories. "Snowman," which puts a dark twist on the classic 1969 children's cartoon Frosty The Snowman, follows the story of a snowman who comes to life after putting on a magical hat. While the clip won't be released on the American Eagle website until December 11, a trailer for the series features Lil Jon saying, "A talking snowman?! This was some messed-up sh*t!!"

Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corporation (WMC)
First up is Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corporation (WMC), a mortgage real estate investment trust, or mREIT. These entities invest in mortgage-backed securities.
The great thing about Western is that the mortgages that it invests in are often secured by the federal government. WMC, however, buys some securities that are not guaranteed. The risk with mREITs are that they borrow money at low rates over the short term to finance long-term purchases. If near-term rates rise, that squeezes the company's margins.
WMC also declared an unexpected dividend bonus at year-end because the company had hedged interest rates with various derivatives that resulted in additional net income.
The issue with Western's dividend yield is simple: Is it sustainable? I think so, because WMC always reports funds from operations that allow the company to make good on its dividends. And that's great, because right now, the dividend yield is a whopping 20%.
As long as we don't get a massive increase in interest rates — which doesn't appear to be in the offing — WMC should be safe for at least the next year.

Nora Does It Again!
Anxious Noraholics will be pleased to learn that the prolific New York Times bestseller has come up with her most stirring and memorable story yet in her latest romantic thriller. Carolina Moon tackles that age-old question: Can we go home again? And Roberts complicates the answer by throwing several difficult issues into the mix, pitting the tender mercies of childhood innocence against the evil of a deranged killer, and the grace of southern living against the pettiness of small-town attitudes.
As an eight-year-old child, Tory Bodeen's life in the small town of Progress isn't easy. Her family is dirt-poor, and they live on the wrong side of the tracks. Her father regularly preaches fire and brimstone, driving the lesson home with the end of his belt while Tory's mother does nothing to interfere. Plus, Tory was born with a strange gift, a sort of second sight that enables her to touch the minds of others and see their private thoughts, an oddity that serves to make her feel like even more of an outcast.
The only source of happiness in young Tory's life is her friendship with Hope Lavelle, one of the twin daughters of the rich Lavelle family, who own most of Progress, including the land and the house where Tory and her family live. When Tory and Hope make arrangements for a secret late-night meeting in the marsh, Tory is unable to make it after yet another round with her father. Hope, who does go, ends up dead, raped and strangled by a vicious killer.
Come morning, Tory is able to "see" what happened to her best friend the night before and leads the Lavelle family to Hope's body. Several people end up blaming Tory for Hope's death, claiming she abandoned her friend and left her alone to die. Tory blames herself, as well, so when her family moves away a short while later, it's almost a relief.
Sixteen years later, Tory decides to return to her hometown in hopes of laying to rest several ghosts and coming to grips with her past. Amid the curious stares and whispers of the townsfolk, some of whom still blame her for Hope's death, Tory opens up a gift shop and moves into the same home where she lived at the time of Hope's murder. Although Tory's reasons for returning home were to lay some ghosts to rest, what she does instead is resurrect several new ones.
Once again a member of the Lavelle family is Tory's only source for salvation, but this time it comes from Hope's older brother, Cade. And it seems he is the only one in the family who is willing to give Tory so much as the time of day. Faith, Hope's twin sister, has long resented Tory's closeness to Hope. Cade's mother, Margaret, not only blames Tory for Hope's death, she finds Tory's white-trash background offensive to her genteel sensibilities. When Margaret discovers the romantic interest developing between Tory and Cade, she pulls out all the stops to tear the two apart. But that is only a small part of Tory's worries, for she soon realizes that Hope's killer is still in Progress, watching, waiting, and killing again. And Tory may well be his next victim.
Roberts spins this tale of romance and suspense with her usual magic, weaving passion and pleasure with pain and depravity. For Noraholics, this one won't disappoint. For the handful of people on this earth who haven't yet sampled the Roberts magic, Carolina Moon would make the perfect introduction, an unforgettable tale that pulls no punches.

Gujarat is one of the richest areas on earth, with the highest GDP per capita in India, and one of the highest in the world. Throughout history, Gujarat has had a major influence on India and the rest of the world. Mohandas Gandhi, one of the most influential people of modern times, was from Gujarat, for example.
The Majority of Gujaratis are of the Jain religion, with Hindus and "Freethinkers" being the largest minorities. Gujarat is the only state in India with a Jain majority. Partially owing to that majority, most of the settlements are highly urbanized, with farming accounting for less of the Gujarati economy than in most other Indian states. Karnavati is the traditional capital of Gujarat, but in the 20th century, a settlement named Gandhi Nagar (after Mohandas Gandhi) and located just a few tens of km away from Karnavati, officially became the new capital. Gandhi Nagar was built on traditional Indian principles, and many of the buildings in the city are built entirely from stone, without any steel. Even though the majority of the buildings do, actually, have steel skeletons, they are constructed with attention to detail in mind. Gujarat is known for its large number of universities, as well.
Many Gujaratis are employed in academic, artistic, and computer science fields.
Besides Jains, another major religious group - seen as a sect of Hinduism - is Swaminarayanism, which is the religion of 10% of Gujaratis. Contributing significantly to the architecture of India and many other countries, numerous mandirs have been constructed by those of Swaminarayanism. The sub-sect, BAPS, in particular, is known for its Akshardham temples, which are built completely in a traditional manner to this day.
Gujarat was the first political entity in modern times to declare itself fully vegetarian (banning all forms of meat and other products made from animals that had to be killed). This later had a hand in persuading the entire nation of India (as well as Sundarapore) to consider and eventually implement the same law.
- 100% Vegetarian
- 0% Non-Vegetarian

Bahrain: Official inauguration of Foulath
Under the patronage of Prince Salman Bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Chairman of the Economic Development Board of the Kingdom of Bahrain, Gulf United Steel Holding Company ("Foulath"), a leading global steel investment vehicle and holding company and the world's first fully integrated steel producer, today marked the official inauguration of Foulath and three of its major investments, which together with the existing facilities, comprise the Company's manufacturing complex in the Kingdom of Bahrain with a total investment value of approximately $3.5 billion.
The inaugural event was held at Foulath's Steel Complex, located in Bahrain's Hidd Industrial Area in Salman Industrial City, stretching across 1.3 million square metres. It is the world's first fully integrated steel manufacturing facility and home to Foulath's investee companies: Gulf Industrial Investment Company (GIIC), a world-class pelletizing company, which is one of three merchant plants in the world and the only one located in the Middle East, United Stainless Steel Company (USCO), the region's first manufacturer of stainless steel, and United Steel Company (SULB), which will be the region's only producer of beams and medium and heavy structural steel sections. Together these companies are the only in the world that start with the manufacturing of pellets through to final product at the same site. Established in June 2008, Foulath has recently launched its new corporate identity, concluded the consolidation of key administrative functions of its investee companies at its fully integrated steel complex and commenced efforts to further articulate its vision and execute its strategy, which aims to see Foulath drive further development in the region's steel industry, add value to the regional economies and become one of the world's most competitive steel manufacturers through investments across the entire steel value chain from "Mine to Metal."
The event further served to underscore Foulath's commitment to making ongoing investments across the region, with additional pelletizing projects planned in Egypt and Oman, whilst also highlighting a number of recent developments at Foulath's existing investee companies. This included:
- The inauguration of the second pelletizing plant at GIIC, with a production capacity of 6.0 million tons per annum, making it the largest grate-kiln pelletizing plant in the world, and just adjacent to GIIC's first pelletizing plant which has been operating in Bahrain since 1984;
- The inauguration of USCO's stainless steel cold rolling plant, with the capacity to produce 100,000 tons of cold rolled stainless steel per year. This is the first plant of its kind in the Middle East.
- The establishment of the $1.2 billion SULB project, with a production capacity of 1.5 million tons per year from its Direct Reduction Iron Plant, production capacity of 1.2 million tons per year at its Steel Melt Shop and production capacity of 1.0 million tons per year at its Heavy and Medium Section Rolling Mill, which is expected to replace about 14% of the current imports of medium and heavy sections into the region.
Commenting on the occasion, Dr. Hassan Fakhro, Minister of Industry and Commerce of the Kingdom of Bahrain, said: "Bahrain is a mature and well-established business hub with the largest financial institutions in the entire MENA Region. Bahrain is committed to free market and democratic principles, the rule of law and serving the needs of businesses and individuals. I am gratified that in selecting the Kingdom of Bahrain to base these projects, Foulath and its Shareholders have extended a significant vote of confidence in our country, its long-term economic strength as well as its vision 2030 and economic policies, which have been developed under the guidance of His Majesty King Hamad Bin Issa Al Khalifa, His Royal Highness Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Prime Minister, and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa and implemented by the government of the Kingdom of Bahrain".
Mr. Hisham A. Al-Razzuqi, Chairman of Foulath and Chief Executive Officer of Gulf Investment Corporation (GIC), Foulath's 50% shareholder, added: "On behalf of the board members and shareholders of Foulath, we are delighted to mark the official launch of the Foulath brand and the inauguration of these projects, which together create the world's first fully integrated steel manufacturing facility at the same site. The benefits of these projects are not only significant for Bahrain, where the facility has been established, but for the entire region. Together these projects will help to reduce dependence on steel imports and enhance the security of supplies to the Middle East markets, where steel is a critical building block of growth.
"The success of Foulath is in no small part due to the support extended to the Company by the Kingdom of Bahrain headed by His Majesty, the King, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, His Royal Highness Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Prime Minister, and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, who we commend and thank for the creation of an optimal investment environment in the Kingdom. It is also a result of the vision of the Company's shareholders, who are comprised of some of the region's most prominent investors, each of whom has played a leading role in the development of the private sector and the overall economic development of the Middle East." Mr. Al-Razzuqi concluded, "As Foulath moves forward, the Company intends to further reinforce its market leading role by supporting the ongoing development of the region's steel industry as well as through the strengthening of its industrial base. This will be achieved through additional investments in projects of regional significance, the development of local talent and, importantly, through the transfer of technical know-how and expertise to the Middle East markets leveraging the 25 year track record of its subsidiary GIIC and its partnerships with world leading steel industry players."
More than 300 people were in attendance at the event including key government representatives of the Kingdom of Bahrain and dignitaries from across the region and beyond. Also in attendance were the Company's Board Members and other representatives of its shareholders. Foulath's shareholders are Gulf Investment Corporation (GIC), Kuwait, which is the Company's 50% shareholder and is owned equally by the six governments of the GCC. They also include Qatar Steel Company, Qatar, Mohammed Abdulmohsin Al-Kharafi & Sons Company, Kuwait, National Industries Holding Group, Kuwait and Kuwait Foundry Company, Kuwait. Additional guests included Foulath's international steel industry and other technical partners such as Japan's Yamato Kogyo, Nippon Steel, JFE Steel and Kobe Steel, Germany's SMS Group and South Korea's Samsung Engineering. Key customers and suppliers from around the world and senior management and employees of Foulath and its investee companies were also in attendance.

P.S. What made my day Saturday was on Saturday...This was kinda freaky, but me and my sister was sitting by the wall by the consession area, and we're talking about all the cool cosplay we've seen so far. So all the sudden I say, "What would make my day would be someone doing a Jareth cosplay. *sighs wishfully*" All the sudden my sister gasps, and points to the left, and there was a Jareth cosplayer! He was so awesome he was even able to do the crystal ball trick!
For those that don't know who jareth is, he's from the Labyrinth movie. He's the Goblin King, and David Bowie plays him!~
THAT WAS ME! it was so much fun to do jareth. i love the looks on peoples faces when they say "well can you do the ball trick" and i do it. this was the first time coming to acen and the first time ive done jareth but after the reaction i got here its certainly not going to be the last

The con itself is just a medium its the people and how they put the con on or treat you that make the con good, and just remember just because its over and some of us no most of us are geeks that can at times have trouble in the social world that dont understand us, does not mean we have to say goodbye we live in a world ruled by twitter and the internet and do forget instant messaging where people are only a click away though not all relationships or friendships last for long times but its the thought that counts and carrying on friendships after the con can help wean you off of it and ease the pain of leaving.
I too met lots of you people out there but I wont remember your names I will remember what you looked like and where I met and talked with you though so if you can remember what we talked about I can remember you all much more easy.
and who was the old guy teaching go in the game room, as well as the guy that was doing cosplay photos for free so he could have stuff for his portfolio on friday night, he was really nice.
O and suku I saw you sitting in the chair by the redbar, and asked if it was a real glass orb approaching you from your right side, if you remember yea that was me in the black shirt and jeans.

Big Four accounting firm Deloitte & Touche has lost its bid for dismissal of a class-action lawsuit by investors in Parmalat, the now-bankrupt dairy giant based in Parma, Italy.
Deloitte had asked a federal court judge in New York to dismiss the suit brought against its U.S. and international arms, arguing that the firm's global affiliates cannot be responsible for the actions of other arms. Even though Deloitte organized itself as networks of legally separate and independent partnerships in various countries, Judge Lewis Kaplan on Tuesday agreed with the investors' attorneys that the firm acted as one entity, the Wall Street Journal reported.
An attorney for Parmalat shareholders, Stuart Grant, called the ruling âdevastatingâ for Deloitte. Robert Roseman, a partner at Spector, Roseman & Kodroff, who is representing Parmalat bondholders, said of Kaplan's decision, âHe accepted our one-firm argument.â
A spokeswoman for the Deloitte's international arm, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, said attorneys were still examining the ruling and declined further comment.
Deloitte & Touch SpA, the Italian arm of the firm, was Parmalat's official auditor, but work was also done by Deloitte affiliates in about 30 countries.
A judge in Milan has also ruled that the Italian office of Bank of America Corp. will go to trial as a civil party, as the employer of three people who were indicted in connection with Parmalat's collapse, Reuters reported.
The judge also formally charged Parmalat founder Calisto Tanzi, 15 other executives, auditors Deloitte & Touche and Grant Thornton's former Italian affiliate with helping Parmalat hide a true picture of its finances. Three Bank of America employees and two Deloitte partners were also indicted as individuals.
Parmalat filed for bankruptcy in December 2003 after one of the biggest frauds in Europe's history was revealed â a $17 billion hole in the books allegedly devised by former executives and hidden for 10 years.

If you have played, "The Secret of Grisly Manor" then rest assure that The Lost City is also from the same developer. But there is no need to be worried at all. We know that there was a problem of length in first game but I tell you as far as this part is concerned you will not have any problems. Those of you who are hesitant in purchasing this game by having an idea in mind of previous one, they should not worry and just go for it.
Looking at the name of this game got my attention and I like playing such games in which some kind of exploration is involved. Now this game has got an excellent gameplay where you have to make your escape through a lost area. There are many items which need attention and exploration including solving of some puzzles in to the game. Best thing about this game is easy to use controls. This is a kind of game which has the ability of immersion to a great extent. Plus if you have been playing games of adventure genre then this can become your favorite app.
Once there are puzzles to solve everywhere which require keen attention then game response and loading time of screen should not be a problem which also does not exist makes the game more wonderful to play. At times you need to go back but it seems like a smooth process to switch between the various scenes. You would love to roam around in the beautiful area which is enhanced with good graphical standards, while solving these puzzles at the same time. Some of you who do not like games like Tomb Raider in which exploration is a basic unit, may not like the game. Otherwise such a smooth gameplay has already made this frustrating job simple for most of the people. For new players there is a system of hints to get some acquaintance from the game and also a journal for players which records all the events, so you do not need to memorize a lot many things.
As I have already mentioned that graphics and scenery of the game is ultimate part of it. Secondly the breathtaking Lost City areas are designed so clearly that they make me feel in a real fantasy World. It really becomes very difficult to find the flaw in sharpness of images which are close to nature. Even rain and snowfall also seem to be crystal clear. The most important thing which you can do with the game is to change season easily.
The worst part of this game was that there was almost no story at all which makes it a completely puzzle type of game with no interactions with outer world. Another thing is that despite the fact, it is a good game, you may not like to play it more than once. The major reason is more puzzles than game which may make it boring in second round. Also the series of events will be exactly the same in second play so there maybe no fun as there is no action at all which can change the things.
In comparison with the other game from the same developer, you will find it really hard to get rid of this game. Once the game will be more than half of its life, you would never like it to end. Of the game is of such a great quality about which I do not even like to end then it must be given 4.8 out of 5 stars from my side. The Lost City doesn't cost you much but is not a universal app for iPad but is only compatible with it.

Boxlight BumbleBee
The 1.1-pound Boxlight BumbleBee is among the most portable projectors available.
Whoever named the Boxlight BumbleBee ($799 list) should have remembered Muhammad Ali's famous description of his fighting stylefloat like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The Boxlight entry is much more butterfly than beequiet in operation, light in weight, and pretty to look at. Add it to the short but growing list of projectors that pair a DLP chip with an LED light source to shrink the machine down to a small size that was unprecedented until recently.

Perils of missing prescription info
A recent study conducted by a UB pharmacy researcher found that information missing from prescription forms costs pharmacies an average of $6,084 annually.
"Our study shows that clarifying missing information from prescriptions is a time-consuming and expensive task for pharmacists," said Rose Mary J. Madejski, clinical assistant professor of pharmacy at UB who conducted the study.
Madejski noted that the problem also creates a cost for the physicians who fail to provide the information, since staff in their office must take the time to obtain the correct information and relay it to the pharmacist before he or she can fill the prescription.
The objective of the study, presented at the annual meeting of the American Pharmaceutical Association, was to examine what it costs pharmacies each time a physician's office must be contacted for additional information to correctly fill a prescription.

"Hey make no mistake the real killer is the gluten and sugar overexposure. If it were not for that you could likely eat more vegetable oil without reprocussions!"
Surely its true but it leaves much to be desired.... just like the converse argument does.
I can't claim to follow Robb's posts and such to know his history, but I did find a relevant pod cast.
From the podcast....
"Are they still going to benefit from that relative to just eating whatever
they and then again, relative to being 100 percent gluten free, 100 percent of the time. Like is it still better to have less gluten, less
frequently or you still just kind of screwing yourself over if you're got any at all. I think decreasing the exposure is definitely for -- some people
they notice that they actually get a little more vigorous of a GI response when they do have gluten and part of that is the gut liking has actually
sealed and so what happening with a gluten exposure for reactive people
is that obviously not everybody is reactive it's just a surprising amount of people are reactive.8
[0:15:00] And so this why a lot of the skeptic community, they get all up and arms about this stuff. But my only story with all this is that I think more problems than we've ever thought might be traced back to gluten and
gluten like proteins and that doing some sort of an elimination diet will allow us to figure that stuff out in pretty quick order. And that's the whole crazy controversial used car assessment pitch that I have on this thing. It's like there may be some really big problems. We might figure them out by doing an elimination diet. And if it's not a
concern for you then go for it, do whatever you want. But it's interesting
for me. I was not gluten sensitive in the way that I am in my youth but I am now. There's good data to indicate that people can become gluten sensitive as
they age. More people tend to become gluten sensitive as they age. There may be some breakdown in the immune response, maybe chemo
distress, who knows what. But in general minimizing that exposure is going to definitely in my opinion be better than not unless you're just one of this people who states pain and then you can eat anything and it just really doesn't matter."

Dons goalkeeper Ryan Esson had to make a smart save to deny Livi striker Paul Dalglish in the first half.
Stevie Crawford came agonisingly close for the home side when his 67th-minute shot cannoned off the woodwork.
Aberdeen were awarded a penalty when Allan Walker handled but Lovell blasted the spot-kick high over the crossbar.
The visitors remain rooted at the bottom of the league but have now doubled their points tally after eight games.
Aberdeen remain in mid-table but will be disappointed not to have taken maximum points after a good display at Dunfermline last weekend.
Jimmy Calderwood's side failed to find any early rhythm but created a chance after 12 minutes when Kevin McNaughton found space to deliver a delightful cross to the back post.
Jamie Smith comfortably beat Jason Dair in the air, but could only direct his header straight at Roddy McKenzie in the Livingston goal.
With the Dons struggling to pass the ball effectively Livingston nearly snatched an unlikely lead.
Dalglish shrugged off the attention of Chris Clark and Esson did well to block his shot from the edge of the box, before Zander Diamond cleared the follow-up off the line.
The Dons continued to struggle and there was a scare for the home fans when McNaughton headed just over his own crossbar from a corner.
At the other end McNaughton was narrowly wide of the mark with a shot after a neat Crawford lay-off.
As the first half came to a close, Livi's Derek Adams saw his chip from 18 yards well gathered by Esson, before McKenzie beat away a stinging Scott Severin free-kick from 25 yards out.
Aberdeen continued to huff and puff after the break and Livingston were able to repel their advances without too much trouble.
However, Livi were fortunate when Crawford latched on to a Smith pass, cut inside Greg Strong and hit a shot with the outside of his right foot against McKenzie's post.
A minute later and Aberdeen were presented with an even better chance to open the scoring when Walker conceded a penalty after handling the ball in the box, but Lovell blazed the spot-kick too high.
Crawford later tested McKenzie with a low effort from the edge of the box, as the away side restricted Aberdeen to efforts from distance.
But delightful link-up play between Walker and substitute James McPake almost led to a Livi winner against the run of play.
McPake fired a shot across goal from 16 yards out, but Esson plunged low to his right to steer the effort wide of goal.
Aberdeen: Esson, Clark (Byrne 54), Anderson, Diamond, McNaughton, Smith, Severin, Dempsey (Muirhead 45), Nicholson, Lovell, Crawford. Subs Not Used: Langfield, Winter, Foster, Considine, Kiely.

Bees Reach Agreement with the Angels09/25/2012 3:56 PM ET
Burlington, IA (September 25, 2012) - The Burlington Bees opened a new chapter in their storied history on Tuesday when they agreed to a two-year player development contract with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The Angels come to Burlington after spending the past 20 years in Cedar Rapids.
"The Angels have long viewed Scouting and Player Development as the backbone of our organization," said Angels General Manager Jerry Dipoto. "We maintain an organizational commitment to building excellence at both the Major and minor league levels, while placing a high value on strong communities and affiliations in the process. With this in mind we are excited to welcome the good people of Burlington to the Angels family, while looking forward to a long and successful partnership."
Many current Angels played in Cedar Rapids including Howie Kendrick, 2012 Home Run Derby participant Mark Trumbo, and rookie sensation Mike Trout. Three of the top four Angels prospects from the 2012 MLB draft played in the Midwest League this past season; R.J. Alvarez (3rd round), Alex Yarbrough (4th round), and Eric Stamets (6th round).
"We are extremely excited about our new relationship with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim," said Bees General Manager Chuck Brockett. "Jerry Dipoto and Scott Servais (Assistant General Manager) have a great reputation around baseball. Not only do they develop top-notch minor league systems, but they also strive to develop a long-lasting relationship in their minor league communities."
The Angels become the 14th different Major League affiliation for the Bees since 1962.

Riverside County Democrats have recalled their committee chairwoman, Sue Ann Young of Palm Springs, barely a half year into a two-year term.
She was removed Monday night in a vote by the Riverside County Democratic Central Committee in Moreno Valley, according to committee member Paul Clay of Murrieta. He said two-thirds of members present voted to oust her, meeting the minimum margin required for a recall.
Clay said the removal was effective immediately. And the committee's website lists the office of chair as "open."
However, Young's attorney maintains the vote was controversial and is weighing a legal challenge.
Attorney Mike Williamson of Mission Viejo, who was an unsuccessful challenger for Rep. Ken Calvert's congressional seat last year, said 47 members attended and 32 votes were needed to boot Young out.
"They received 32 votes right on the nose," he said, in a telephone interview Tuesday.
But Williamson said one of those votes was cast by Paul Marchand, the parliamentarian, who defended her in a speech to the committee. Moments later, Williamson said, Marchand said he had been distracted and wrongly marked his ballot.
But Williamson said he was denied the opportunity to vote again.
"So there is controversy as to whether or not they have the required ballots," the attorney said. "One ballot is in question."
Clay said he himself cast a vote for recall.
"I had my reasons," he said.
Clay said those reasons centered on how the local party was being managed, but he declined to elaborate.
A petition to recall Young alleges she fostered an "atmosphere of chaos, confusion and turmoil" that prevented the party from moving forward.
The document maintains Young failed to enforce bylaws, conducted disorganized meetings, harassed committee members and threatened people with lawsuits and district attorney investigations.
"The allegations, at least on their face, appear to be rather vague," Williamson said. "They appear to be more about attacks on her personality than anything substantive. I don't know what they mean by moving the committee forward. I believe the allegations in the petition have absolutely no merit, none whatsoever."
Clay said no timetable was set for Young's replacement.
"There were no nominations or any move toward that," Clay said.
But he said he anticipated the panel would move fairly fast to fill the slot.
Williamson said Young was selected last summer to serve a two-year term as chairwoman.
As for recalling a party committee chair, he said, "It's my understanding that it is incredibly unusual."

Twin Cities (Minneapolis & St. Paul) 7 County Metro Info On Sheriff's Sales. Hennepin, Carver, Ramsey, Dakota, Scott, Washington and Anoka CountiesSunday, October 24th, 2010
Have you ever wondered how the foreclosure process works in Minnesota?
Information sourced from http://www.realtytrac.com/foreclosure-laws/minnesota-foreclosure-laws.asp
Pre-foreclosure Period
In Minnesota, a court foreclosure begins when a lender notifies the borrower of the default. The lender then files a court action against the borrower. If the court rules against the borrower, a sale is scheduled. The majority of Minnesota foreclosures are handled out of court through a power-of-sale clause contained in the mortgage. Under most mortgages, a lender must mail a default notice to the borrower before scheduling the sale.With both types of foreclosure proceedings, the borrower can stop the foreclosure any time before the foreclosure sale by paying the default amount, plus fees and allowable costs.
Notice of Sale / Auction
The notice must include the borrower, owner, and lender names; the original loan amount; the mortgage date; recording information; the default amount due; a property description; the time and location of the sale; and the redemption period. The notice must be published for six weeks, and the occupants of the property must be given the notice in person at least four weeks prior to the sale. The county sheriff or sheriff's deputy conducts the foreclosure sale between 9:00 a.m. and sundown at a public place, usually the sheriff's office. Anyone may bid at the sale, and the property is sold to the winning bidder. If not the lender, the winning bidder must be prepared to pay the full amount in cash or cashier's check. The sheriff may postpone the sale by publishing a notice in the newspaper where the original notice of sale was published. After the sale, the sheriff gives a certificate of sale to the winning bidder. The certificate of sale effectively transfers ownership and possession rights to the winning bidder after the redemption period. In Minnesota, a borrower usually has a six-month redemption period, but some property types and mortgages allow for a 12-month redemption period. During this time, the borrower can redeem the property by paying the total amount of the bid plus interest and any applicable costs.

Indian Monsoon Among Risks From Rapid Climate Change
Date: 12-Jul-09
Country: SINGAPORE
Author: David Fogarty, Climate Change Correspondent, Asia
SINGAPORE - Rising seas, a rapid weakening of the Indian monsoon and spiraling costs of adapting to a warmer, drier world are just some of the looming risks from rapid climate change, a report for the Australian government says.
The report, "Climate change 2009, faster change and more serious risks," examines the rapid progress of climate change science in recent years and the growing threats that face billions of people around the planet.
Rising temperatures, drought and long-term drying out of farmlands in Australia, Africa, the United States, acidifying oceans and rapid switches in weather patterns all threaten to undermine societies and cost billions in damage.
"Part of the reason for suggesting that the risks are higher than we thought is that the climate system appears to be changing faster than we thought likely a decade ago," the report's author Will Steffen told Reuters on Friday from Canberra, Australia.
The report was written for the Department of Climate Change and comes five months before a major U.N. meeting that aims to seal a broader pact to fight global warming.
(The report is available here)
Many scientists have revised upwards their projections for the pace of global warming since United Nation's Climate Panel issued a major report in 2007, underscoring the increased focus on understanding the risks from climate change.
Steffen, executive director of the Climate Change Institute at the Australian National University, said drought and long-term drying out of farmlands and water catchment areas will likely cause costs to spiral as societies try to adapt.
"I think there are risks that are potentially more important. One is drought and drying risk and not just in Australia but in other parts of the world where that appears to be linked to climate change. That's going to affect water resources, it's affecting it now," he said.
He said there was now evidence of climate change being linked to the drying trends in major agricultural regions of Victoria state and southern South Australia. Evidence was much stronger for the grain-growing area of south-west of Western Australia.
Sea level was less of a risk in the medium-term.
"Whereas sea level rise, unless there is a really fast, catastrophic event in West Antarctica, we're not going to see huge changes till the second half of the century at least," he said referring to a major collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet.
Potentially greater threats were abrupt changes to the ocean and atmosphere that led to irreversible switches in weather or ocean patterns, so-called "tipping points."
"An example is the Indian monsoon. According to some models, that could switch into a drier mode in a matter of years," he said. More than a billion people in South Asia rely on the monsoon for agriculture and water supplies.
Steffen pointed to the accumulation of carbon-dioxide, the main gas blamed for global warming, in the atmosphere that is now near the upper range of scenarios by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its 2007 report.
Sea level rise of more than 3 millimeters per year was also tracking near the upper range of the panel's projections. The rate at which global ocean temperatures have been rising had also been revised up by 15 percent, he said.
"I think the reports coming out at various fora are clear the system seems to moving at the upper range of IPCC projections," he said.
"That in itself is a major change in thinking. What it says is there's a sense of urgency to getting on top of this issue."
