Academic Staff Representatives Council Meeting
March 16, 2006
Draft Procedures on Faculty Discipline Process (Proposed UWS 7)
UW System legal counsel Pat Brady discussed the proposed UWS 7. She said it is to address three issues: the need for a speedier process for discipline; a way for not paying individuals when they are incarcerated (suspension without pay); and spelling out what behaviors would be covered by the new policy. Brady said that the Provost was named as the person to pursue the investigation because the Chancellor is the one who can terminate employment. It would give the appearance of lack of fairness if the Chancellor brought the charges against the accused faculty member, investigated the charges, and then decided to terminate the individual's employment. The Provost is the one who does deal with unclassified personnel at campuses. Faculty groups have suggested that the Provost work with selected governance groups in investigating charges. Brady said that Provosts applying the proposed UWS 7 would receive legal advice.
In answer to questions from our group, Brady said that other state employees are terminated first and then grieve their termination. Brady said the Board of Regents committee writing the draft of the proposed UWS 7 decided to focus on class A felonies as crimes covered by this policy. She pointed out that bad behavior that is not a class A felony will follow the regular process already in the personnel rules.
The impact of the next draft disciplinary process will be on indefinite academic staff. Because fixed term and probationary academic staff do not have the same rights, the issues of timeliness of suspension from employment and of paying someone who has been convicted are not issues. Under existing personnel rules, indefinite academic staff could be terminated within 60-90 days because the Chancellor can make that decision at the campus level. (The Board of Regents makes the final decision to dismiss tenured faculty and the faculty member's salary-under UWS 4-continues until the Board makes its decision as to dismissal).
Update on Human Resources Issues
Al Crist reported that there will be no further discussion of a uniform policy on limited titles until the LAB audit has finished. Right now campuses can request exceptions to the current policies on which titles are limited titles but on a case by case basis.
Because the WSEU contract was approved, some additional money is available for unclassified salaries. More information will follow.
A representative raised the issue of pay plan raises for instructional academic staff whose contracts contain the words "no intent to renew". At one institution those IAS who were rehired, to teach the same classes as before, as they have been year after year, were not given the solid performance pay plan dollars last year in their contracts. Al Crist said that the pay plan dollars are based on the previous October pay roll (if you have ever wondered a percentage of what when a 2% pay raise is announced). Thus those IAS who are employed in October are having their salaries counted as part of the total payroll and they are being counted as part of the base. If they are not given the solid performance raise, then their salaries are contributing to funding raises for others, but they are getting no benefit for their hard work.
Growth Agenda
Campuses have been asked for their ideas about how they might participate in President Reilly's growth agenda. La Crosse presented a proposal at the last Board of Regents meeting and Green Bay will present its proposal at the April meeting.
Assembly bill 1120 is in committee but the proposal is that state employees could pay for long term care insurance using accrued sick days upon retirement. Right now one can only use those days to pay for health insurance.
Respectfully submitted,
Judy Blackstone, Academic Staff Representative

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Thanks for your question.
Do you have ringing in one ear or both?
MRI brain done or not?
Is there any associated vertigo ?
Thanks for your reply.
Ringing in one ear can be because of few problems like menieres disease, acoustic neuroma, inner ear infections etc.
If Hearing is normal then menieres is not a possibility but acoustic neuroma which is brain lesion(very slow growing and not dangerous) can only be picked by MRI. So any patient having ringing specially in one ear should undergo an MRI.
Sometime no cause is found , you should ask your doctor to give you betahistine(SERC) tablet to see if this helps . Moreover you can try hearing aid, sometime in ringing with no cause it helps. Even with no hearing loss it helps. Just a suggestion.
I hope this helps you.
please ask more if you want or click ACCEPT if you agree.

New Hampshire Families Feel Pain at the Pump
Shaheen Silent as Liberal War on American Energy
Hurts Middle Class
Yesterday Chris Plaushin, director of federal relations with AAA, told the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee that $3 per gallon gasoline is a "thing of the past."
The Hill reported that Plaushin explained: "'The days of a national pump price below $3 is probably a thing of the past,' he told the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee at a hearing on fuel prices. In his testimony, Plaushin noted that the national average price of gasoline on Jan. 1 was the highest ever to begin a year, at $3.29 per gallon."
Plaushin's news comes on the heels of the Obama-Reid plans that would impose more harmful regulations on domestic energy producers, in essence declaring war on American energy production, which Democrat Jeanne Shaheen supports. Under President Obama and Shaheen's watch, gas prices in New Hampshire have skyrocketed from about $1.78 per gallon (when Shaheen first took office) to $3.65 per gallon - more than doubling the cost at the pump for New Hampshire families and workers.
While two-thirds of Americans are demanding immediate action to reduce pain at the pump by building the Keystone XL Pipeline, the Obama-Reid-Landrieu liberal model is focused on making gas and electricity so expensive that Granite Staters use less of it - because they can't afford it.
Democrats want to empower the EPA to take an even MORE aggressive role than it has today, meaning more red tape regulation, more government headaches, more fees, higher gas prices, more taxes, and more costs that would destroy our economy.
"Gas prices have more than doubled under Jeanne Shaheen's watch, and while no single Senator can control the price at the pump, Shaheen supports a liberal Obama agenda that has in essence declared war on American energy production," said NRSC Press Secretary Brook Hougesen. "Jeanne Shaheen and her liberal allies actually want to raise the cost of electricity, oil and gas to crippling levels so that people use less of it, a misguided view which hurts middle class workers, families, and businesses but empowers the bureaucrats at the EPA. Higher taxes, higher energy costs, and higher health care costs are the hallmark of Jeanne Shaheen's time in Washington, which is why Granite Staters want someone new."
The Average Price Of Gas In New Hampshire Today Is $3.65 Per Gallon. (AAA Website, www.fuelgaugereport.aaa.com, Accessed 7/17/13)
When Shaheen Took Office In January 2009, The Average Price Of Gas Was About $1.78 Per Gallon In New Hampshire. (Gas Buddy, Accessed 7/17/13)

Martin Fennelly Columns
Stamkos' stick, shoulders carry Bolts' burden
TAMPA - Last Saturday in Carolina, the Lightning were dead, down two goals near the end of the second period. Then Steven Stamkos said no they weren't. He picked up the puck in his zone, swooped down ice, fired a wrist shot home, unassisted — and there was life. Later, Stamkos won it in overtime, off a pass from linemate Teddy Purcell. "It was a great pass. It's about wanting the pass sometimes, wanting it to come to you," Stamkos said. It's coming to No. 91. When it isn't, he is going to get it. He has helped the Bolts rally late in this season, though Tuesday they lost to Ottawa at the Forum. And goaltender Mathieu Garon was injured early and left the game. There might be even more on Stamkos' stick and shoulders this morning. He won't shy away. "He's hungry and he wants to be the guy," Marty St. Louis said Tuesday morning.Oh, is the kid hungry. He scored his 48th goal Tuesday night. He is tied for the league scoring lead and has 11 goals and 19 points in his past 11 games. His 48 goals are 10 more than anyone else. He is 22 years, 30 days old. I'm not sure even Lightning fans completely understand what Stamkos is doing. With two more goals, he'll become just the sixth player in NHL history to have two 50-goal seasons by age 23. Here are the others: Mike Bossy, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Joe Nieuwendyk, Alex Ovechkin. Steven Stamkos is 22 years, 30 days old. It's more than that blinding speed or that thundering shot. There's growing leadership, there's a charge-through attitude. Stamkos is tied for the league lead with 10 game-winning goals, four in overtime. New York Islanders Hall of Fame defenseman Denis Potvin, now an Ottawa broadcaster, says Stamkos would have been a handful for him or anyone else. "If I'm playing against him, he's screwing me up, because he changes, he gets better, he gets stronger," Potvin said. "He was a 50-goal scorer two years ago, but he's going to score 50 goals differently this time. Why couldn't they stop Mike Bossy? He scored 50 goals nine years in a row, because Boss didn't always do the same thing." Consider that when Stamkos scored 51 goals two seasons ago, 24 came on power plays. This season, only 10 have come off a man advantage. He's overpowering even at even strength, he's more than finesse, he's finding space when there isn't as much, he's in at the net, he's paying prices in front, between the faceoff dots. Stamkos seemed a sure bet to get 50 goals last season but went into a prolonged slump the last two months of the season, and didn't light many lamps despite the Lightning's playoff run. But he learned a lot about himself, about managing frustrations, about concentrating on the other end when the goals didn't come — on charging through. "It was finding a way to be a winner," Stamkos said. "That's what I learned last year." And at the end of games, when the Lightning have the lead, but it's tight, Stamkos is out there for defense, something you would have never seen last season. Did we mention he plays offense, too? "This kid here is too smart," Potvin said. "I know him a little. I've talked to his dad. Just watching him play, he's too smart and he wants it too much for you to be able to stop him for too long. Look at the way he's coming at the net, different angles, he's behind the net making plays, he's always looking for that open ice, he's everywhere, not one place. "I see the great ones, saw them, and what makes them great is you're never sure what they're going to do. What the hell is he going to do to me this time?"

The Debacle (I mean debate) in Denver, the Confrontation in Colorado, the Ruckus in the Rockies or whatever colorful moniker you want to apply to the first in a series of presidential debates, they will be getting it on in Denver tonight.
It is a lot like a premiere of a movie destined for an Oscar in many ways – for instance there will be star power, the dialogue will abound with metaphors, clichés and with the exception of Jim Lehrer the actors will be speaking rehearsed lines from works of fiction and fantasy.
There will be a lot of finger pointing, accusations of misdeeds, failures and misanthropic intentions to paint the opponent as a failure or potential disaster as leader of the country.
The two candidates have prepared for the debate against "stand ins" for their opponents, and though it is hard to picture Senator Rob Portman as a body double for Pres Obama, one can easily picture Senator Kerry as a mega-rich conservative running for president.
An objective analysis would likely reveal that the moderator is more in tune with the issues facing the nation and the truth about the positions of the candidates than either of the candidates are about themselves or their opponents. A highly respected journalist, it will be interesting to see if Jim Lehrer is able to maintain control of the flow of the debate and coax some honest and specific answers out of the President Obama and Governor Romney.
The candidates have been rigorously rehearsed on what to say and what not to say on all issues that might come up in the debate, so it is unlikely that we will actually get any insight into the truth about what they will or will not do if they are elected.
The image of marionettes or finger puppets will flash through the minds of many watchers as the debate unfolds as the candidates try to paint their opponent as wrong without actually proving why they are right.
Perhaps the most beneficial aspect of the debate will be to those citizens in all parts of the country glued to their televisions and engaged in various types of drinking games based on campaign speak, bumper sticker slogans and clichéd rhetoric.
Of course we might all be surprised and a meaningful, educational and illuminating exchange of policy information and plans for the country's future might be exchanged and debated by the candidates
Probably not, but what are you expecting from the debate tonight.

Sir Tasker, who has died at 88, was given the honour for gallantry in France in 1944 for his assault on a German machine-gun post in Normandy.
The miner's son, who was a top judge and WRU president, was always modest and reticent to talk about his heroism.
One historian said it was typical of the reaction of many VC holders.
When Sir Tasker's feelings were made known to John Dart, curator of the Museum of the Welch Regiment of the Royal Regiment of Wales the picture was immediately removed from public view.
The oil painting, which depicts Sir Tasker in his battle uniform, running with his machine gun at the enemy, is now kept in the museum's archives in Cardiff Castle.
Mr Dart said: "The picture basically shows him taking (someone's) life. Although there's no-one dead, it's him in the act of killing someone who's trying to kill him.
"As far as I'm aware, he didn't want his grandchildren to know what their granddad did. I was told that he disliked it intensely."
Mr Dart believes Sir Tasker's reaction to the painting is typical of that of war heroes.
"Nobody likes to glorify war," he said. "Sir Tasker simply did his duty. He just got on with it and in doing that he won a VC."
Sir Tasker was known for his modesty by all who knew him.
Julie Morgan, MP for Cardiff North and wife of First Minister Rhodri Morgan, was a family friend of Sir Tasker's.
Her late father, Jack Edwards, shared lodgings with him in London when they were both teachers and the pair played rugby for London Welsh.
She said she had been aware of the painting but said Sir Tasker had never talked about his war days with her.
Queen Mother
"He was a very private person," said Mrs Morgan, whose father came from Senghenydd, not far from Sir Tasker's native Nelson.
"He didn't regard what he did to get the VC as anything other than a day's work."
With Sir Tasker's death, there are only 12 living holders of the VC worldwide.
Those who are left are just as modest as Sir Tasker, according to John Glanfield, a military historian and author of The Bravest of the Brave: The Story of the Victoria Cross.
Mr Glanfield said: "I had lunch with a dozen or so VC holders and the Queen Mother in about 1993 or '94.
"I was amazed at the reticence of all of them to talk about what happened to them. Their attitude was 'it's just a job.'"
Although he never met Sir Tasker, Mr Glanfield believes his attitude to his painting reflects that of many VC holders.
"Many of them feel that their mates on other occasions were equally as gallant but were not honoured. The honour went to them," he said.
"They feel that there's a lack of justice in a way that others weren't honoured in the same way.
"I can imagine that's what was going through Sir Tasker's mind as he was being recorded as a hero."

Ideological polarization, however, eviscerates the center by treating compromise as a sellout.
Last weekend, it played midnight screenings in 33 locations to sellout crowds.
The contention was that a sellout was taking place led by, of all people, Richard Nixon, who originally exposed Alger Hiss.
His new book about the financial crisis, The sellout , was published by HarperBusiness.
One can imagine an authentic Maoist radical condemning Jones as a sellout.
If one is a person of color and a conservative, one must then be an Uncle Tom, a sellout to his or her race.
His forthcoming book about the financial crisis, The sellout, is scheduled to be published later in 2009.
If he chose to team up with the administration, some in the party would deem him a sellout.
His book about the financial crisis, The sellout, is scheduled to be published later in 2009.
Just study the last 30 years of risk-taking on Wall Street as I did in my book The sellout.
also sell-out, "corrupt bargain," 1862 (in Mary Chesnut's diary), from the verbal phrase (at that time often meaning "dispose of one's interests" in a company, etc.), from sell (v.) + out (adv.). Meaning "event for which all tickets have been sold" is attested from 1923. The verbal phrase sell out "prostitute one's ideals or talents" is attested from 1888.

According to the IDC (International Data Corporation), the smartphone market will witness a CAGR of around 18% till 2016. Also, the tablet market will grow at a CAGR of about 23% during the same period. With this tremendous growth, the mobile chipset industry remains an interesting area for the investors to focus on. Let's discuss some of the big names in the industry, and find out where exists an opportunity to cash-in.
Digging the numbers
In January, QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM), reported its first-quarter results for the fiscal year 2013. The company not only surpassed the street's estimates, it even raised its guidance and targets for 2013. The revenue stood at $6.02 billion, which was up by 29% and 24% on yearly and quarterly basis respectively. The net income of $1.9 billion for the fourth quarter, increased by around 36% year-on-year and by 50% quarter-on-quarter. Its net income growth actually blew off all its earlier reported positive numbers. These figures clearly depict that Qualcomm is benefiting from a huge demand of smartphones. Expecting this trend to continue in the future, the company increased its EPS guidance to $4.25-$4.45 from the previous range of $4.12-$4.32.
With every passing quarter like this, I feel all the more optimistic about Qualcomm. Especially when the other competitors like Broadcom Corp (BRCM) posted in-line results along with a softer guidance. However, the stock reacted contrarily and was up following the results. This may be due to the revised guidance of the company in December, 2012, which had no high-hopes. Broadcom posted net revenue of $2.08 billion for its fourth quarter of 2012, which was up by around 14% on a year-on-year basis. But its decline of about 2% from the previous quarter was a concern area. The company even lost around 1% in revenue from its last quarter, in its most important segment - mobile & wireless, which contributes about 50% to its revenue.
LTE market getting intense
For these chip-makers, the Long Term Evolution (LTE) high-speed wireless technology remains a highly challenging segment to dominate the market. Currently, Qualcomm is leading this segment, with around 86% of total LTE chipsets supplied last year. Moving forward, the market for LTE wireless chips is going to get intense with a lot of chip-makers venturing in with possible alternatives to Qualcomm. Likewise, Broadcom recently launched its first LTE chip with production to start in 2014. The key differentiating aspects of this chip will be its smaller size, it consumes up to 35% less space which means, it is cheaper and efficient.
Last month, NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) also marked its presence in this market by announcing its first Tegra 4i mobile LTE chip. The company is challenging Qualcomm Snapdragon S800 in terms of efficiency and battery life. Its production is expected somewhere around late 2013 or the first quarter of 2014. The company has already carved out a significant amount of market share for tablets with its Tegra SoC. But it would be interesting to see, whether it is able to create the same space in the LTE segment or not.
Even after these launches, I feel both the companies will have a tough time in grabbing some market share from Qualcomm. The company is the biggest supplier in the smartphone industry, and remains a top choice among the leading smartphone makers such as Apple and Samsung. Also, the company enjoys its dominance in the 4G LTE solutions, with no major competition for at least the next one year.
To further continue its dominance in this market, Qualcomm came up with its next generation of processors. It introduced the latest Snapdragon- 800 and 600 processors, which are targeting at the premium mobile and computing devices. The main advantage of the 800 processor is that it is fully coordinated with the 4G LTE modem, enhancing the performance. The 800 and 600 processors will arrive in the market in the mid and second quarter of 2013 respectively. Qualcomm has already secured around 50 different products that will be using these chips. Based on its previous success of Snapdragon S4, the company is hoping for a lot more. And, if rumours are to be believed, Samsung (OTC:SSNLF) is also considering Qualcomm processors for its upcoming Galaxy S4.
The investing opportunity
Qualcomm has the lowest P/E ratio of 17.94 and the highest P/S ratio of 5.60 as compared to the industry averages. This is mainly due to the high profit margins of around 32%, which is driven by its premium high-end products and the big clients in its portfolio. Another reason to love this stock is its improved guidance numbers from the management, which shows 2013 to be a better year for the shareholders. I feel, the stock will continue to gain the momentum until it is enjoying its supremacy in the market. For an investor making an entry into this industry, Qualcomm is the safest and sure bet at this moment. I recommend a buy on this stock.
Turning on to Broadcom, the company has better chances compared with Nvidia to mark its presence in the LTE market based on its advantages in scale. Also, considering the forward P/E ratio, Broadcom is more attractive and cheap among its competitors, and this supports the upside potential in the stock. However, the long-term growth of both Broadcom and NVIDIA is highly dependent on to how well they plan their strategies to capture market share in the LTE segment.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

This is a response to John Lucas' letter "The extremely rich are the moochers," Jan. 8, where he apparently blames the rich (specifically Mitt Romney) for paying a lesser percentage of their income than the middle class. The reality is that it is not the rich person's fault for this never ending cry of inequality. They are merely taking deductions that the law prescribes through the Internal Revenue Code.
Early in President Barack Obama's first term, the Democrats had the authority of all three branches of government. They could have passed laws relative to the Internal Revenue Code to rectify this inequality in the tax laws, but they chose to pass the Affordable Care Act instead.
I grow tired of hearing liberals, and even the president, constantly complaining about the rich not paying their fair share of taxes. They (the so-called rich) are only following the law as it is written and published.

IT by its nature has various conflicting goals which can occasionally cause stress and conflict within IT.
IT by its nature has various conflicting goals which can occasionally cause stress and conflict within IT. As an example, people working in the datacenter are often judged on cost reduction, efficiency, and server consolidation while software developers often push for the maximum computer resources for their development and production environments. Both groups are right, but their jobs have different priorities.
Resolving a conflict with a fellow employee can be difficult, even under the best of circumstances. Imagine how difficult it can be if this fellow employee is in another country, in another time zone, reporting into a different management structure, have not previously established any real personal relationship, and you have never met face-to-face. This is the scenario facing individual contributors, managers, and senior executives that work on virtual teams for companies with international reach.
While many of the techniques discussed in this column can help resolve conflicts of all types, they are primarily designed to deal with conflicts that have the increased complication of physical distance.
Develop a relationship first This suggestion takes two forms, pre and post conflict. In the pre-conflict form my suggestion is that when you are first asked to work with people in other physical locations, try to get to know them. This could be via a "let's get acquainted" type introductory phone call under the auspices of "since we will be working together, we should get to know each other". A twenty minute phone call of this type can pay great dividends when a conflict arises, because you have previously established a relationship with the person that hopefully created a little trust and goodwill.
In the post-conflict format, this assumes that either the conflict has caused you to reach out to the person for the first time or that you have been working together in some cursory way but never spoke by phone or Skype. In either case, rather than start your conversation in a confrontational way, begin with something such as:
• "Hi, my name's Eric, I work in the XYZ department. Sorry that my first call to you is related to solving a problem we're having, rather than something more interesting. Is now a good time for you to talk for a minute?" • If he/she say's "Yes", continue with the conversation. If he/she says "No", set up a specific time that is convenient both of you.
Then, continue with a little small talk with the hope of quickly establishing the beginnings of a positive business relationship by asking one or two easy to answer, non-confrontational questions such as:
• Have you ever been to our location in Boston, that's where I'm currently located? • How long have you been with the company, I've been here about five years?
Then, with the conversation off to a good start, ask for his/her help and describe the problem in a factual, non-emotional way.
This may seem like a lot of up-front work and time just to get your problem fixed, but as the old saying goes, "you get more bees with honey than vinegar". In essence, you are building good will between you and the other person with the goal of getting him/her to want to help you.
As a note of caution when using this technique, be genuine and not just self-serving. You should want to develop a good working relationship with this person. After all, you both work for the same company, so at some point in the organization chart you both report to the same person. Also, if you're not genuine with your fellow employees, you will eventually build a poor professional reputation which could have a long term negative impact on your career at the company.

Roger Federer says he was unsure if he'd won a key point after a double bounce in his stirring Australian Open quarter-final victory over Andy Murray, but Murray was convinced.
''I think he knew it had bounced twice,'' said the Scot.
An agitated Murray questioned whether Federer had reached the ball before it bounced twice before breaking him to claim a 5-4 advantage and an opportunity to serve out the match in straight sets on Wednesday night.
Television replays proved inconclusive, with former world No.1 players Jim Courier and Lleyton Hewitt initially both unsure.
But after taking several more looks, Courier said it was ''60-40 that it hit the ground first'' – and 70 per cent of TV viewers on a Channel Seven poll agreed when the fans were initially asked to vote.
''But it's impossible for [umpire] Pascal Maria to know and for Roger to know,'' Courier said.
Federer, who was unable to serve the match out the very next game after the incident before going on to win 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (6-8), 6-3, said he ''honestly'' didn't know if it was a double hop or not.
''I thought I probably got it, especially the way it bounced on the other side,'' he said after booking a semi-final on Friday night with world No.1 Rafael Nadal.
''It felt like I got under it. At that point, I might even have my eyes closed. It's like it's so extreme that I really don't know.
''We'll have to check the replay time and time again.''
But the Swiss superstar, a nine-times winner of the ATP's Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award, said he was disappointed the shot was immediately replayed twice on the big screen at Rod Laver Arena.
''I just told the umpire: 'How can they show this and create this controversial moment potentially?' It's not really what you want to do,'' Federer said.
''I hope it was played the right way. If it wasn't, I'm sorry.
''But it's an umpire's call. I've been burnt by these calls before.
''I can't remember the score, but clearly it was a big one. I think I ended up breaking him in the game.''
Murray faces demotion from the position he's held for the past six years as a top-four player.
When the latest revision of world rankings is released on Monday, Murray will fall from No.4 to sixth or seventh.
The back surgery he had last September meant Murray came to the Open with more hope than expectation – so he'll be more disappointed than devastated by his quarter-final loss to Federer.
If there is one thing he took from the loss, it is that the surgery has been a success.

Michigan Teens Among Better Drivers
Michigan ranks 14th on the list of the best teenage drivers in America.
The list was compiled by WalletHub.com, which ranks New York at the top and the state of South Dakota at the bottom.
At Jungle Survival Drivers Training in Grand Rapids, Randy Rand tells WOOD Radio that our state government focuses on training new drivers, but he says parents have the biggest influence on how our kids drive.
He says young drivers learn and participate in the bad habits they are exposed to, like texting behind the wheel, speeding, and not paying attention to everything on the road.

Speech by Dr. Hamburg to the Food and Drug Law Institute (FDLI) 2014 Annual Conference
Speech by Margaret A. Hamburg, MD
Commissioner of Food and Drugs
2014 Food and Drug Law Institute (FDLI) Annual Conference
April 23, 2014
Washington, DC
Good morning. Thank you Philip [Katz] for that kind introduction. It is a pleasure to be back with all of you again this year for your annual conference. It is hard to believe that it is my fifth time here.
But this is an important meeting and an important organization and we share so much, including efforts to ensure informed conversation and problem-solving in critical areas of food and drug law, policy and regulation.
This is not insignificant. Success today in the world of regulation cannot be accomplished alone. It requires developing new ways of thinking and working that involve unprecedented partnerships and collaborative ventures across disciplines, experiences, and sectors. And the relationship between FDLI and FDA is a prime example of the benefits of partnership and cooperation.
This morning I want to begin my remarks by paying tribute to someone who really has helped solidify and expand this long and vibrant relationship – while helping FDLI advance and broaden your own mission -- your fine executive director, Susan Winckler.
I'm sure there is great disappointment that Susan has announced she is leaving FDLI. Hers will be big and elegant shoes to fill. But she leaves behind a legacy of important and lasting contributions.
Working closely with FDLI's excellent leadership and quality staff, Susan has helped to enhance the value of membership in FDLI, reinforcing it as a go-to place for information and substantive discussion on all sectors of food and drug law by a wide range of voices.
Susan's achievements to strengthen FDLI's reputation include the unglamorous and often painstaking work of building from within -- revitalizing committees, engaging more members, and expanding the use of technology to enhance the availability and effectiveness of FDLI publications and conference materials so that they align even better with members' interests and needs.
But she also has made sure that this organization continues to be an essential resource by ensuring that your work embraces the constant developments in food and drug law. She has integrated tobacco within the Institute's work and reenergized and strengthened your work in the international sector to address the growing issue of globalization.
Needless to say, FDLI … and FDA … will miss Susan. It has been a pleasure working with her, which I have had the honor of doing, truly since I started at FDA.
In fact, next month marks my five year anniversary as Commissioner of Food and Drugs – a length of time that sounds longer than it feels – at least on most days. And since our society tends to pay special attention to multiples of five, it seemed like today might be a good opportunity to talk about the some of the big picture goals I have embraced in this job, particularly our efforts to reposition FDA to be a stronger, smarter agency for the 21st century.
When I was first appointed, more than a few people – some of whom were quite well informed in the ways of Washington offered me the advice – unsolicited, of course -- that I should plan to limit the expectations of what I could accomplish in terms of change or reform.
The agency is just too big, the Washington bureaucracy too difficult and intractable, and I was further reminded that I would also have to deal with Congress.
They suggested that I pick a few issues or initiatives I thought were really important and where I might be able to get something accomplished in a couple years' time. Now there was nothing especially wrong with that advice. But, as someone who had spent my professional life committed to strengthening structures and mechanisms to improve public health, it went against my basic nature and experience.
More significantly, as I took stock of the agency, its vast responsibilities, and its enormously talented and committed workforce -- I came to the conclusion that if FDA was truly to fulfill its mission in the modern era, this was a critical time to reposition in several fairly fundamental ways, addressing substantive issues as well as structural changes. And so, the priority areas I have focused on have involved underlying institutional change and have revolved around three main themes: engagement, science and globalization.
Perhaps most importantly, I felt it was critical that we open ourselves up as an agency. To ensure that our vital work at FDA is done with the best possible input from stakeholders, and with the trust and confidence of the public we serve, it was imperative that we increase transparency, enhance stakeholder engagement, and strengthen partnerships across sectors, disciplines and components of government. This is essential to ensuring that we make the best possible decisions, extend our reach and impact, and make the most efficient use of resources possible.
We've been approaching this in many ways. Through the transparency initiative launched soon after my arrival as Commissioner, we sought to bring new clarity and understanding to what we do, how we do it and why—for the general public, industry and other key stakeholders. We have embarked on important new public-private partnerships in many domains of activity. And we have upgraded our communications including a far more accessible web site, with more timely and useful postings, and more recent ventures with social media, from blogs to Facebook to Twitter.
We also have been undertaking regular listening sessions, hearing from various leaders, experts, and advocates, seeking ideas and feedback, as well as our recent efforts on patient-centered medicine, including holding dozens of public meetings with patient advocacy groups for specific diseases.
If you look across our many accomplishments in the past year, and there were many--they all build on this model. Our ongoing conversations with stakeholders informed the rollout of these important initiatives. With strong stakeholder engagement and being very clear and transparent about what we wanted to do and why, there was better information flow and fewer surprises. Just a few of the more recent initiatives include:
• Our final rule for a unique device identification system (UDI) that, once implemented, will provide a consistent way to identify medical devices.
• Our final guidance for mobile medical apps focusing FDA oversight on a narrow group of apps, provides developers with the needed clarity that they asked for.
• The proposed strategy and recommendations for a risk-based regulatory framework for health information technology that we released just a few weeks ago with HHS's Office of the National Coordinator for Heath IT (ONC) and the Federal Communications Commission reflects the many comments we heard in public meetings about how to best promote innovation, protect patient safety and avoid regulatory duplication.
• Our work on food safety has involved enormous outreach and engagement. Since January 2013, we have proposed 7 major foundational proposed rules to implement the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, or FSMA. This is a huge effort and will transform our food safety system in meaningful ways. To get these rules right, Mike Taylor and his staff have fanned out across the country to hear from farmers, producers and others in the community who are affected by these changes. The input and exchange continues to be an invaluable part of the policy making process.
• And in just the past couple of months a number of other efforts featured significant stakeholder engagement, including our proposal of a new nutrition facts label and our launch of groundbreaking education campaigns to prevent young people from starting to smoke.
I've also sought to identify and modify Agency functions and processes in a way that will help us better achieve critical objectives. For example, we are working to strengthen and align programs and operation with more coherent policy and strategic development, and to better integrate the work of the centers with field programs so that instead of duplicating efforts we are strengthening the connections and the underlying work on these issues.
We have also worked to improve communications and collaboration within the Agency, with greater training to ensure the necessary levels of scientific and technical competence at a time when we are dealing with the reality of much more complex products in a more complex world.
While we still have much to do, I believe many of the changes we already have put in place, both in terms of strengthening our internal organization and the ways we work with industry and others, are making a difference, both in the quality of our work and in the support we are receiving for what we do.
One measure of that support comes from Congress. At a time of incredible partisan bickering, Congress has given FDA repeated votes of confidence, coming together to enact a series of landmark bills. The Food Safety and MOdernization ACt (FSMA) fundamentally shifted the paradigm for food safety from responding to contamination to preventing it. The Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA), not only reauthorized our important user fee programs but promoted innovation and enhanced the safety of the drug supply chain.
And last year Congress passed the Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA), designed to improve the safety of drug compounding and further protect the drug supply by building an electronic, interoperable system to identify and trace certain prescription drugs as they are distributed in the United States.
Now some degree of compromise is necessary for a bill to be enacted and we certainly don't get everything we might want in these important pieces of legislation - as happened with the DQSA. But at a time of fundamental disagreement – even disagreement about FDA's role - it is remarkable that Congress ultimately decided to put its trust in FDA to fix these public health issues...and the bill passed without objection in both the House and the Senate.
Congress has also voiced its confidence in FDA through its budget process.
Five years ago, FDA's annual budget was about $2.7 billion. It's currently about $4.4 billion dollars or 63 percent greater, which is remarkable at a time when our nation has been faced with huge fiscal challenges. Of course, our funding ballooned after the passage of the Tobacco Control Act, but nevertheless, FDA's budget has actually increased every year for the last seven years.
I must underscore that this does not mean that we have all the funding that we need to fulfill the many responsibilities placed on us and what the public expects. Nor does it mean that we aren't still working to recover from the sequester and other budgetary challenges of the last few years that hampered our work. But it does indicate that Congress understands that the responsibilities we have – including new ones that they have given us in recent years -- are critical to the health and safety of this nation and also that we are responsible stewards for the resources we do receive.
One way that I think we have built this trust and support for the Agency's work is by focusing our attention on the central importance of science and evidence-based decision-making. And importantly, we have brought new attention to the role and value of regulatory science.
Regulatory science allows us to combine greater understanding of the underlying mechanisms of disease and human biology with new technologies and scientific advances to inform both more efficient product development and new tools and strategies for smarter regulatory decision-making. This in turn helps us create and support meaningful and lasting innovation for the public good.
As a field, regulatory science has been underappreciated, underdeveloped and underfunded, but it is, in fact, vital to our work at FDA and well beyond.
A robust field of regulatory science can help us leverage opportunities for innovation and more quickly bridge the gap between scientific discovery and real-world products and processes that make a meaningful difference in people's lives.
And to be successful, regulatory science must bring together the best minds wherever they are found across industry, academia, government and elsewhere. It is through collaboration that we can truly advance this science and its applications.
FDA plays a critical role because we more fully understand what it takes to translate a good idea into a product with demonstrated safety, efficacy and quality and a product that can be scaled up and reliably manufactured.
FDA also is uniquely situated to examine important unmet medical and public health needs and how they match up with what is in the development pipeline. Part of my focus has been to support better alignment and incentives to address the gaps we see, and to foster the kinds of innovation that will make a real difference.
Simply waiting until we see what comes through our doors for review cannot be the going model. By advancing new and more efficient regulatory processes and bringing a higher level of collaboration, scientific engagement, oversight, and innovation to the table, we can encourage and enable new solutions and processes to bloom.
As an example, consider our collaboration with the Medical Device Innovation Consortium, which aims to advance regulatory science in the medical device industry. One of the consortium's major projects is to develop and validate computational modeling and simulations which could be used in lieu of clinical studies in certain circumstances to generate data on a product's safety and effectiveness, reducing the time and cost of development.
We have also established several Centers of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation – one at the University of Maryland, another at Georgetown University, and more are planned.
Another approach involves the many ways we have streamlined the drug review process and are using a range of strategies and pathways to help speed product development and review as appropriate. Most recently, we are implementing the new "Breakthrough Therapy Designation" that was part of FDASIA. As of the end of March, we had received more than 166 requests for this designation; some 42 drugs have received the breakthrough designation and five have been approved.
I think we all have been surprised by the level of interest in this new pathway and its emerging value. But in fact, nearly half of the new molecular entities or NMEs approved by FDA last year took advantage of at least one of the available expedited drug review pathways. And some of these drugs were approved in as little as 4.5 months and three quarters of these NMEs were approved in the U.S. before anywhere else.
The success of these pathways has been possible because of our evolving approaches to both regulatory science and enhanced opportunities for product sponsors to engage with FDA reviewers and high-level FDA scientists and managers during earlier stages of drug development. We are finding that this kind of engagement can reduce the overall time for both development and review, as well as lead to better and more innovative products. I am pleased that we are now looking at creating a new expedited access program for devices that address unmet public health needs for patients with serious illnesses – modeled in part after these successful efforts in pharmaceuticals.
However, in keeping with the mantra that FDA has only two-speeds of approval—"too fast and too slow"--some have suggested that we are moving too quickly or sacrificing standards and consistency — for speed — in the review process. Yet I think this misconstrues the mandate to add flexibility and tailor clinical trial requirements for each drug and the disease area for which it is being studied.
Certainly when Congress created the "breakthrough" designation, it recognized that the responsibility to help translate the newest discoveries and research into treatments for patients who are critically in need as the goal of drugs developed through the accelerated approval process. And that means a rigid, "one size fits all" approach is not the answer.
It is important to understand that no matter what approval pathway is used, the Agency consistently applies the same statutory approval standards of safety and efficacy to all drugs in order to be marketed in the United States. Increased flexibility does not mean abandoning standards…and it certainly does not mean abandoning science. Just the opposite. We need to employ the best science in ways that will increase our efficiency, productivity, and our shared ability to find creative solutions to the challenges that confront us.
I've had a lot to say about the importance of regulatory science to medical products, but it also provides transformative opportunities to strengthen food safety. Cutting edge regulatory science is also critical to our efforts to combat food-borne illnesses.
For example, we continue to develop new technologies that are helping us strengthen our response to food-borne outbreaks. The Whole Genome sequencing program, being developed by FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN), for instance, will allow us to quickly and accurately identify specific strains of pathogens in the foods that are making people ill and help us rapidly trace back foodborne illnesses to the source of contamination. These are developments that just a few decades ago might have seemed more like science fiction, than science.
And regulatory science applies to the historic work we are doing in the realm of tobacco. Our charge from Congress is an enormous one – to reduce the harm from tobacco products across the population.
One important aspect of this is to ensure that we have a thorough scientific research base that will allow us to make informed regulatory decisions. That's why we are funding groundbreaking research with NIH, CDC and partners in academia, on a range of critical concerns including patterns of behaviors and tobacco use, including e-cigarettes, as well as on the chemical components and possible toxins in tobacco products. And it is also why we are establishing 14 Tobacco Centers for Excellence at academic institutions throughout the country to focus on key research questions in this area.
Although FDA currently regulates cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, and smokeless tobacco, as part of the Tobacco Control Act, however, Congress also gave FDA the authority to deem other tobacco products to be subject to the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). As you probably know, we have been working on a "deeming" rule to potentially extend our authority to regulate additional products meeting the legal definition of a tobacco product.
This has been a long time in development but I can say today with some certainty that the proposed rule will be available for discussion and comment imminently.
We have a lot on our plate, but across all of our domains of activity, the challenges get ever more complex as we must also grapple with our dramatically changing global marketplace. This change, in which the foods we eat and the medicines and medical devices we use increasingly come – in whole or part - from countries other than our own, has enormous ramifications for the work FDA does, and the people we work to protect.
And the numbers are astounding. Fifty percent of fresh fruits and nuts, 20 percent of vegetables, and over 80 percent of seafood consumed in America comes from abroad. Similarly, 40 percent of finished drugs come from outside our borders, and 80 percent of active ingredients manufacturers are located outside the US. Further, half of all medical devices are imported. And the volume of imports only continues to rise.
The fundamental shifts that are taking place as a result of globalization have huge implications for our ability to ensure the safety and quality of products manufactured elsewhere and the integrity of supply chains as those products move through an increasingly complex network of producers, manufacturers, packagers, distributors, exporters and importers. I would argue that this transformation also comes with huge economic and national security challenges as well.
As for FDA, we have already begun to reorganize our structure and transform from a domestic agency operating in a globalized world to a truly global agency fully prepared for a complex regulatory environment that takes into account the risks across a product's life. This requires new reliance on enhanced intelligence, information and workload sharing with the help of regulatory partners, data-driven risk analytics, and allocation of resources achieved through public and private partnerships.
Most importantly, our job requires greater coordination of regulatory standards and practices across nations to ensure safety and quality, regardless of where a product is produced. We are working through bilateral and multilateral agreements, as well as through international organizations, specialized partnerships and various coordinating bodies. And at the highest levels, we have embarked on creating a new model or framework for global governance.
But specifically with respect to our work at FDA, much has happened in recent years. We have greatly enhanced our ability to do targeted border screening as products come in, using a computer driven, risk-based program (called PREDICT) to identify imports that need fuller examination versus those commodities at low risk that can proceed through. But that alone is not enough. We must work to enhance safety and quality long before these products reach our shores. We have enhanced overseas inspections and now have FDA offices in many parts of the world. This is proving very beneficial, but again, we must do more. We cannot inspect our way to safety with some 300,000 facilities in about 150 countries making products for export to the United States that we must oversee.
That is why the collaboration with both industry and our regulatory counterparts is increasingly vital. The rapid and profound rise of global commerce and trade requires that continue to evolve and meet new demands. We can take comfort in the knowledge that we have significantly strengthened our ability to respond to these challenges and know where and how we must do more.
Similarly, the rapid advances in science and technology offer great opportunity but place new and evolving demands on us and the products we regulate.
Understanding the seriousness of these challenges – structural, scientific, economic, and global – is one reason why, when I took over as Commissioner, I could not settle for incremental changes in how FDA intends to conduct business for the 21st century. I am confident that the changes we are putting in place are sufficiently important and on track to survive well into the future. I believe that they are, in fact, absolutely essential.
And so we will continue to implement changes that fundamentally transform how we address these challenges before us, how our agency interacts with regulated industry and other stakeholders, and how the public understands and supports the mission of this important and unique agency.
It will require the work not just of the FDA, but of partners such as FDLI, to ensure the continuing alignment of our public health and medical care mission with the important regulatory and legal framework. I look forward to our ongoing work together, with continuity of purpose, renewed commitment to key principles, and a sense of the dynamic and changing world we live in that demands flexibility, resilience and an eye to the future.
Thank you.

Arnold Iron Mass Reviews
Muscle Pharm is releasing a new line of bodybuilding supplements inspired by the iconic Arnold Schwarzenegger. One of the new products is Arnold Iron Mass, a weight gainer designed to pack on pounds of muscle without adding fat.
Let's take a look at the ingredients in Arnold Iron Mass to see if they measure up to expectations.
Inside a Tub of Arnold Iron Mass
Of course, the amount of nutrients needed to build muscle varies depending on your workout intensity, but we can evaluate the quality of some of the ingredients here.
Sweet potato powder is about 20% carbs, 3% fiber, and 4% sugar. It is a good source of vitamin C, magnesium, and phosphorous, which contribute to immune health and muscle bulk. It also has no fat or cholesterol content. [1]
Hydrolyzed beef protein. Beef protein is considered one of the highest quality protein sources because of the "completeness" of the proteins. Since these proteins are hydrolyzed, there is a high protein concentration per gram. [2]
Lactoferrin regulates iron absorption. It also can be used as an antioxidant, to prevent bacterial infection, and to stimulate the immune system. [3]
Sunflower oil powder is rich in unsaturated fat, the healthiest form of fat. There is some evidence it lowers cholesterol and prevents constipation. [4]
Creatine monohydrate is a common supplement used to improve athletic performance and enhance muscle size. Most supplements provide 2-5 grams creatine as a constant daily dose, while others recommend creatine loading with a higher dose. Since this product contains creatine, it is likely it contains a lower creatine dose. [5]
BCAAs are amino acids that work together to build muscle mass and prevent muscle breakdown during vigorous exercise. This is especially important in a weight gainer since sometimes the body tries to use muscle as fuel rather than fat during exercise. [6]
The BCAAs are present in a patent pending 3:1:2 ratio rather than the more traditional 2:1:1 ratio of leucine, isoleucine, and valine. [7]
Protease is an enzyme that catalyzes protein peptide breakdown. It aids in digesting the many proteins contained in Iron Mass. [8]
Price and Availability
The entire Arnold line is very popular, and it's available from most retailers. I looked for the best prices and deals for Iron Mass:
• HardSupplements.com – $42.99
• eSupplements.com – $48.95 with free shipping
• Bodybuilding.com – $48.99
• Supplementing.com – $53.99
Is Arnold Iron Mass Worth it?
I know many athletes choose a lower-quality protein powder when bulking, so they consume a lot without worrying about price. However, for those conscious of what they put in their body, Arnold Iron Mass seems like a quality option.
Before I start singing praises of Arnold's namesake supplement, I recommend checking out other customer reviews. Right now, some of the Arnold Schwarzenegger series are not released to the public, so there is little consumer feedback. I recommend waiting until more information is available before investing in Arnold products.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/5/2014 (1154 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A fire that destroyed St. Georges' pioneer museum last Saturday has been confirmed as arson, RCMP said Friday.
And the news has shocked local museum volunteers.
"It's a lot harder to take when it's intentional because you have to wonder why," said Le Musée St.-Georges secretary-treasurer Diane Dubé. "The founding families are heartbroken. It's all their hard work and collectables. The memories they still have, but...
"When it's arson, it's disbelief," Dubé added. "Who would burn down a museum? If it had been neglect or we failed to do something that would be sad. (But) I think a lot of people in the community are shaking their heads."
Dubé acknowledged rumours had been swirling around the community of about 500, located off Highway 11 near Pine Falls, that foul play may have been involved.
"There was no doubt in my mind it wasn't electrical," Dubé said. "Everything was fine."
In fact, Dubé had been in the main museum building on the Friday prior to the fire doing inventory. Artifacts included desks from old schools, mannequins displaying the dress of the day and exhibits recreating an old general school and kitchen.
Now? "There's not very much left," she said, adding volunteers will be holding a salvage workshop next week.
In announcing the arson confirmation, RCMP did not release further details on the fire. The incident is still under investigation.
Witnesses first reported flames shooting six metres into the sky shortly after 3:30 a.m. last Saturday. The centre building of the three museum buildings was fully engulfed when police officers arrived at the scene.
Anyone with information about the arson is asked to call Powerview RCMP at 204-367-8728, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477, submit a secure tip online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com or text "TIPMAN" plus your message to CRIMES (274637).

To mark World Diabetes Day, The New York Times published an opinion piece examining the challenges to treating the disease in Haiti.
The authors of the piece, Palav Babaria and Aisling O'Riordan, know Partners In Health and our Haitian sister organization, Zanmi Lasante, well. Babaria, now a primary care physician at Highland Hospital in Oakland, worked with PIH in Hinche, Haiti, from 2012-2013 through the University of California, San Francisco's Global Health-Hospital Medicine Fellowship. Similarly, O'Riordan, who graduated in 2011 from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, volunteered with PIH and worked with the pediatrics team in Hinche during the same period.
Babaria and O'Riordan draw lessons from a specific patient encounter during their time in Haiti. The piece weaves an anecdote about the needless death of a 12-year-old boy, Jean-Paul, with a critical discussion of the factors that contributed to it.
The story of Jean-Paul illuminates the supply chain challenges that persist not only in Haiti, but in nearly all resource-poor countries. It also showcases how woefully inadequate public infrastructure impedes the delivery of quality health care. This is why PIH is committed to forging enduring partnerships with a variety of stakeholders that strengthen the entire health system. As rates of noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes climb, PIH will continue to work to make medications and diagnostics cheaper and easier to access for the world's poor.
In the op-ed, Babaria and O'Riordan write:
Jean-Paul was 12 when he died. A diabetic, he might well have lived if not for a tragically simple problem, common in rural Haiti: the glucose test strips available did not match the only glucometer we had access to in our rudimentary district hospital.
We are doctors—one American, one Irish—who worked as volunteers at the town hospital in Haiti's desperately poor central plateau last spring. On the storm-drenched night that Jean-Paul arrived at the emergency room, we rushed to him through corridors clattering as if glass were breaking, as rain pelted down and leaked through the tin roof, forming puddles and muddy rivulets on the floor.

New Quantum Of Solace Trailer Online
More bangs, more babes, more Bond...
007.com has unveiled the exclusive first look at the latest trailer for Quantum Of Solace and, colour us excited if you must, but this is shaping up to be a bloody brilliant Bond adventure. You can watch it by clicking here (or see it in glorious hi-def here).
And now for the outpouring of excitement... Whoever thought of continuing the story where Casino Royale left off (the first time such a trick has been employed in a Bond movie) deserves a medal. 007's all-consuming revenge mission allows for Daniel Craig to employ his very best pissed-off expression while blowing all manner of things up in new and ever-more thrilling ways.
Our favourite bit? Bond and opponent falling through a glass ceiling, followed by the bit with the flying bike, then the bullet-ridden car chase, then... Oh hell, bring it all on.
The October 31 release date just can't come soon enough.

Why do I still have so much pain in my nose & upper jaw after 5 months of my rhinoplasty? I) The pain is constant II) my nose is swollen
Still in Pain 5 Months After Rhinoplasty
Doctor Answers 2
Pain after Rhinoplasty
5 months after Rhinoplasty, it is unusual to have constant pain. There may be some inflammation in your sinuses causing discomfort. Regardless, this situation needs to be evaluated by your Surgeon as soon as possible.
Pain 5 Months after Rhinoplasty
It is not normal to have pain in your nose and jaw 5 months after rhinoplasty. Schedule an examination by your surgeon. I'm sure he/she will injvestigate to your problems, but if you're not satisfied, get a second opinion.

|Now, every route is different than every other, and every area likewise, but if we're opting to call the Johnson Route .10d, then the grade given to this route might be re-investigated. To me, it felt vastly easier than the Johnson route, to the point where I'd even opt to call it a .9+. In saying this, I realize how many people that climb hard .9 who might think otherwise of this climb, and in fact so would I. What I mean in labelling this climb as a hard .9 is that it is at least a grade under The Johnson Route. Therefore (thus, ergot,...), if The Johnson Route is labelled in some guidebooks as .11a then I have no problem calling this route .10a/b. Of course, routes here all felt harder than most at the same grade. I think this might owe itself to the polished nature of slab climbing in this area: fun, but funky...boy are my calves tired!

NEW YORK (Dec. 6)
Ira Guilden, noted industrialist and Jewish communal leader, has been appointed chairman of the National Council of the Foundation for the Jewish National Fund, it was announced here today by Albert Schiff, president of the JNF of America. The Foundation for the JNF devotes itself to setting up a pool of funds through wills, bequests and insurance assignments for the purpose of establishing projects in Israel bearing the names of the donors. Since its inception six years ago, a potential of more than $12,000,000 has been mobilized through the Foundation.
Announcing Mr. Guilden's appointment, Mr. Schiff said: "I know there are hundreds of thousands of Jews throughout the United States, who, through their wills, bequests and assignments of insurance, could link their names forever with the land of Israel. And I also know that Mr. Guilden can influence them, if anybody can. His acceptance as chairman of the National Council of the Foundation for the Jewish National Fund is a tremendous gain for our cause and the cause of Israel."

Outrageously Healthy Deep Chocolate Brownies
Recipe by TaterBug
Rich and chocolatey to the max! These are also a healthier version but the taste is amazing! This recipe makes 8 big crazy good healthy brownies! As another option you can add 1 cup of chopped walnuts to the batter at the end of mixing.
Top Review by Annacia
No doubt about the chocolate impact. In fact I cut the unsweetened chocolate back to 3 ounces and I stopped weighing the cocoa at 3.5 ounces when it reached 2 cups! If I make these again I'll certainly use more Splenda I included chopped hazelnuts which are lovely. I love bittersweet chocolate and this amount of unsweetened chocolate and cocoa was stronger than even I loved (and I didn't use all that was ask for). I was truly surprised that with all of the oil and egg that they are quite dry and I recommend that you plan to have milk or coffee at hand. The coffee addition is wonderful. Made for Comfort Cafe, Summer 09.

About 200 children and parents bid farewell to the winter blues Friday at the annual Spring Fling at Fort Hood's Casey Memorial Library.
Jessica Marchik's 2-year-old daughter, Kiley, pulled a plastic yellow duck out of the duck pond to see what prize she earned.
"I think it's really neat and fantastic that the library does all this work and provides so many activities for the kids," Marchik said.
A bounce house in front of the library greeted the excited crowd. Booths filled the library's courtyard and each child received a goodie bag and blank sheet that quickly filled up with stickers after completing an activity, such as the football or basketball toss.
"It's all about enjoyment and giving kids something to do during spring break," said Jennifer Hauschildt, public services librarian. "We also want the children and their parents to see that the library isn't just about books, because we have science Saturday, storytime and monthly crafts and our big summer reading program."
The library's children's section offers two computers for educational games, a reading area with puppets and a Little Tykes computer for children younger than 5, plus study areas for homework.
Linda Perez, library program manager, helped for the first time at the craft table giving out multicolor foam picture frames for children to decorate.
"I'm excited to see how it works out because I've heard it is one of the biggest events at the library each year," Perez said.
"It's nice to have activities like this to keep us busy when our husbands are deployed," Nicole Ousley said. "It's exciting for the kids because it fills up their spring break in a fun way."
The annual Spring Fling also gave families a chance to chat with representatives from on-post facilities, such as Financial Readiness and the Exceptional Family Member Program.
The variety of free family friendly events at Fort Hood is what attracts Beth Satterwhite, mother of two children, to attend as many events as possible.
"We do everything the military offers for free because it keeps the kids busy and safe."

President Barack Obama has this afternoon signed an executive order ending the ban on federal funds for international groups that promote or perform abortions, the Associated Press reports.
Earlier, the wire service noted that:
The move, long expected in the Democratic president's first week in office, will be welcomed by liberals and criticized by abortion rights foes.
The policy bans U.S. taxpayer money, usually in the form of U.S. Agency for International Development funds, from going to international family planning groups that either offer abortions or provide information, counseling or referrals about abortion. It is also known as the "global gag rule," because it prohibits taxpayer funding for groups that even talk about abortion if there is an unplanned pregnancy.
Update at 4:52 p.m. ET. Early reactions.
From the conservative side, Concerned Women for America President Wendy Wright has issued a statement condemning Obama's decision:
"Barack Obama begins his presidency by increasing the number of abortions worldwide with his order to fund abortion groups. The U.S. spends over $450 million each year on international family planning. Obama's order would funnel money away from legitimate health organizations to political allies that promote or commit abortions, in some cases in countries where abortion is illegal."
From the liberal side, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., has issued a statement praising the president's action:
"I am glad that President Obama has moved so swiftly to lift the global gag rule which has too long handcuffed our ability to provide aid around the world. Today's announcement is a very powerful signal to our neighbors around the world that the United States is once again back in the business of good public policy and ideology no longer blunts our ability to save lives around the globe.
"For too long, the Mexico City policy isolated the United States and limited our leadership. By tying the hands of global health providers, ideology trumped our capacity to provide effective family planning services and limited the scope of partners we could work with in the international community. It hindered the ability of NGOs to halt the spread of HIV/AIDS and denied contraceptives to families in the world's poorest countries."
