NACDS, NCPA sue federal agencies to block Medicaid reimbursement policy
ALEXANDRIA, Va. The two national organizations representing chain and independent pharmacy have once again joined forces—this time in a high-stakes, last-ditch legal effort to block the imposition of a new and potentially devastating round of cuts in Medicaid prescription reimbursements for generic drugs.
Those cuts are due to take effect Jan. 30, 2008, when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services implements a new payment policy for pharmacies dispensing generics to Medicaid patients. That new reimbursement formula—based on the average manufacturer's price [AMP] of the generic drug, plus a dispensing fee—will force pharmacies to dispense prescriptions at a loss and could lead to the disruption of service to Medicaid patients and even to the closing of many pharmacies, industry leaders assert.
In response, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores and the National Community Pharmacists Association today filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and CMS. Together, the groups' member pharmacies dispensed more than 294 million prescriptions for Medicaid patients in 2006, according to CMS.
The suit—which also names HHS Secretary Michael Leavitt and CMS acting administrator Kerry Weems—seeks to overturn the new reimbursement rule as a violation of laws governing Medicaid payments under the Social Security Act. The suit also asks the court to halt a plan by CMS to publish the "flawed" AMP-based generic drug prices on a public web site.
"We're asking the court to halt both the AMP website and the reimbursement cuts that are going to be implemented pursuant to this rule," NACDS president and chief executive officer Steven Anderson explained in a conference call today with reporters.
NACDS general counsel Don Bell said the pharmacy groups would also seek a preliminary injunction to halt implementation of the new rule.
"The AMP rule does not comply with the Social Security Act's definition of AMP," which "defines AMP as the prices paid to manufacturers by wholesalers for drugs distributed to retail pharmacies," noted a statement from NACDS and NCPA. "The AMP rule includes many transactions that have nothing to do with either the prices paid by wholesalers or drugs distributed to retail pharmacies."
In a joint statement, Anderson and NCPA executive vice president and chief executive officer Bruce Roberts noted, "The cuts to Medicaid pharmacy reimbursement rates which CMS wants to implement in January would force community pharmacies to sell Medicaid-reimbursed generic medicines at one-third below acquisition cost," they asserted. "Our members cannot do that and be able to purchase, stock, and dispense drugs in the low-income communities where Medicaid sales are a large percentage of the business. If unaddressed, small and independent pharmacies will be forced to close their doors or to drop out of Medicaid and further threaten low-income Americans' access to quality health care.
"Today, we are announcing legal action, as well as redoubled advocacy for a legislative remedy this year, to fix this problem," they added. "We are pursuing this two-pronged approach, and while we are hopeful to have a success in court, it is imperative to encourage Congress to work with community pharmacy to find more appropriate, cost-based models for reimbursement under Medicaid."
In line with that approach, the leaders of the two pharmacy groups sent a letter Nov. 7 to members of the Senate Finance Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee, as well as the co-sponsors of legislation to address the AMP payment issue. "This lawsuit was necessary at this time given the impending crisis on January 2008, but legislative action this year remains necessary to sufficiently remedy this problem," Anderson and Roberts told lawmakers. "Action by Congress is the only long-term solution."
During the conference call, Anderson, Roberts and other leaders of both pharmacy organizations spoke in urgent tones about the need to halt CMS' payment plan, and about a longer-term legislative solution in Congress.
"This really has galvanized the pharmacy industry," said Anderson.
His counterpart at NCPA agreed. "This is an issue that really has galvanized the pharmacy industry to work together," said Roberts. "It is troubling what's coming down the pike for pharmacy, and so unacceptable. We cannot let this stand; we've got to do everything we can to turn it around. If this goes forward … it will put a lot of pharmacies out of business, and ultimately access for these Medicaid beneficiaries will be jeopardized."
NACDS general counsel Bell, another conference-call participant, said chain and independent pharmacy groups "are absolutely not alone" in voicing alarm over the pending cuts. "The PBMs, the wholesalers and many other groups submitted comments to CMS regarding these rules, which were very much in line with the comments we filed … and with the arguments we made in our lawsuit," Bell told reporters.
With generics accounting for 50 to 60 percent of the drugs dispensed in U.S. pharmacies to Medicaid patients, the cost of the new payment formula to many pharmacies could be draconian, indicated Mary Ann Wagner, NACDS senior vice president of policy and pharmacy regulatory affairs.
"This will cost pharmacies $8.4 billion in just the first five years," added John Rector, NCPA's chief legal counsel.
Remicade usage hits 1 million mark
HORSHAM, Pa. Remicade, a drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, has become the first anti-TNF biologic therapy to treat one million patients worldwide, according to the Philadelphia Business Journal.
TNF-alpha is a naturally occurring protein produced by the body's immune system to fight infections. Remicade is a monoclonal antibody engineered to inhibit TNF-alpha. Monoclonal antibodies are engineered in a laboratory to target specific antigens, or substances that cause an immune response, responsible for a disease.
The drug is currently approved for 15 inflammatory disease indications including psoriasis, ulcerative colitis and ankylosing spondylitis. Remicade, which generated sales of $3.77 billion last year, is approved in 88 countries.

J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP) is a leading department store retailer of apparel, accessories and home furnishings. They produce their own private brands in addition to selling products from other companies.
The company has faced changing consumer tastes in the past years--consumer traffic is being drawn to Wal-Mart (WMT) and Target (TGT) at the expense of department stores such as J.C. Penney and Macy's Inc. (M). In addition, J.C. Penney relies heavily on private labels[1] Although private label products--in order to appeal to as many customers as possible--are not unique enough to compel fashion-conscious consumers to purchase them, they are still a viable option for customers who do not follow trends. JCP also faces lower profit margins in the due to rising commodity costs which will increase its clothing costs.
The company divides its merchandise into several categories which include: men's, women's and children's apparel, accessories and cosmetics; home furnishings; leisure and recreational equipment; jewelry and watches.[2]
Private label brands are produced exclusively for a particular store. For example, J.C. Penney has a number of private label brands including Arizona Jeans Co. and Stafford.[3] Retailers such as Macy's and J.C. Penney find private labels very attractive because the pieces often have higher margins than branded merchandise from other companies. However, the economic crisis of 2008-2009 has made people more reluctant to spend. When consumers have less money to spend, they will be more inclined to spend it on something that excites them. Private label brands, in an effort to appeal to as many consumers as possible, are less likely to spur a person to buy them when disposable income is already scarce.[4] Also, the proliferation of discount retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target and Kohl's (some with their own exclusive brands) means that consumers can trade down to another store if they can no longer afford prices at J.C. Penney. Private label merchandise, by its nature, is not differentiated enough to keep fashion-conscious consumers purchasing them in lieu of lower-priced alternatives.
Cheers pal. I do aprpceitae the writing.
J.C. Penney's main competition is mid-tier department stores such as Macy's Inc. (M) and Kohl's (KSS).

In another great RSA Animate YouTube film, Daniel Pink shares what really motivates us. It's not what we think. After watching this video, I wondered what schools might do with this information.
Currently, our schools use grades and privileges to both motivate and punish students. High grades and special privileges are supposed motivators, and poor grades and removal of privileges are punishments. But extrapolating from Daniel Pink's research, one wonders whether the incentive of good grades, or the fear of bad grades, and the incentive of greater privileges and the fear of removal of privileges, are really the motivators that we assume. Probably not. Not only does the goal of achieving a high grade often lead to rote memorization (often forgotten) and cheating, it also separates what should be the real goal: learning, from the real reward: learning!
Most of us love learning, and as this video describes, people are willing to learn a musical instrument on their own time with no external reward in sight. They're also willing to share their learning with others, again with no extrinsic reward. When learning becomes its own motivation and reward, we're golden, and when we realize this simple fact and hire engaging teachers who love to learn and love to share their learning, and abandon our carrot and stick approach in schools, we may find that our students astonish us with their capacity to learn, produce new ideas, and go on to teach what they know to others.

Corporate Resource Services is a recruiting and staffing agency that operates 205 staffing and on-site facilities in 37 states and the District of Columbia.
The deal is expected to close "once the customary approval requirements and closing conditions have been met," Corporate Resource Services said in a statement.
"With the acquisition of Summit Software, we are taking an important step in executing Corporate Resource Services' strategic plan," Corporate Resource Services Chief Executive Officer John Messina said in a statement. "Summit is one of the premier software companies focused on the PEO industry. Professional employer organizations (PEOs) enable clients to cost-effectively outsource the management of human resources, employee benefits, payroll and workers' compensation. With healthy profit margins and excellent opportunities for growth, Summit's technology touches millions of people through more than 270 PEO and other clients and their base of customers. While maintaining the privacy of those customers and all of their respective employees, we believe that we can partner with our clients to transform Summit's application into a predictable marketing channel and create another revenue stream."
Summit Software President Sean Flanagan said of the acquisition: "I am excited about CRS' strategic vision and the role Summit will play in its execution. We have begun our development efforts to refine the software and its demographic criteria as well as create the technology to send and track offers from our marketing partners. We are confident that we can have a working prototype of this system in the first half of 2013."
Summit Software is located at 9307 Maumelle Blvd. in North Little Rock.

Gene therapy using a novel Tet-regulatory adenoviral vector system expressing single-chain Interleukin-12 improves survival in an intracranial glioma model
Testung einer Interleukin-12 Gentherapie mit einem neuartigen Tet-regulierbaren adenoviralen Vektorsystem in einem präklinischen Gliommodell
Search Medline for
|May 30, 2008
Objective: Interleukin-12 (IL12) has shown to have potent anti-tumor activity by stimulation of the glioma-suppressed cytotoxic T-cell system. However, systemic therapy is limited by severe side effects. Local adenoviral-mediated gene transfer has the potential to overcome this obstacle but vector systems are needed which result in a high and controllable transgene expression with minimized viral toxicity.
Methods: Therapeutic efficiency of local interleukin-12 gene therapy was evaluated by intratumoral injection of adenoviral vectors in the well-established syngenic orthotopic glioma xenograft model (GL261 - C56/BL6). The adenoviral IL12 transgene was under the control of a bi-directional promoter and a tetracycline-suppressible transactivator which was cloned into the E1-region of a E1-deleted recombinant adenoviral vector (Ad.3rmIL12). This vector system was compared to a conventional CMV-promoter controlled IL12-expressing adenoviral vector system.
Results: One week after intratumoral injection of Ad.3rmIL12 glioma growth was inhibited by 73% (p<0.05) as assessed by T1-Gd-enhanced MRI when compared to tumors injected with NaCl or control adenovirus (n=12/group). Survival was significantly prolonged in Ad.3rmIL12 treated animals and CD3-immunohistochemistry demonstrated a significantly higher intratumoral T-cell infiltration (>4-fold, p<0.001). Transgene expression in vivo was localized in close vincinity to the viral injection site as demonstrated by eGFP staining. In vitro expression of IL12 by GL261 glioma cells was significantly higher after infection with Ad.3rmIL12 when compared to an adenoviral vector with transgene expression under the control of a conventional CMV-promoter (Ad.CMV-IL12) and highly suppressed in the presence of tetracyclin. Local in vivo gene therapy with Ad.3rmIL12 resulted in a higher reduction of tumor burden when compared to Ad.CMV-IL12 at the same dosage (6x107 pfu) (n=5/group, not significant). In vivo treatment with tetracyclin led to reduction of glioma growth inhibition due to the in vivo suppression of IL12.
Conclusions: Here, we demonstrated that local interleukin-12 gene therapy is counterbalancing the glioma-induced immunosupression by inducing intratumoral T-cell infiltration which results in a significant reduction of tumor growth. This new adenoviral vector system can contribute to the safety of viral gene therapy by controllable and higher transgene expression than conventional CMV-promoter driven vectors.

Jon Stewart Was Close to Quitting The Daily Show
"What I did not realize is, a lot of the people who worked there were assholes."
Jon Stewart's first few years on The Daily Show were not so nice, turns out. In a lengthy onstage interview with Stephen Colbert at Montclair, New Jersey's Wellmont Theater on Friday, Stewart recounted his near-quitting experience. "What I did not realize is, a lot of the people who worked there were assholes," Stewart said of a serious creative deadlock that exploded on day one. Stewart called his agent, saying, "Get me the fuck out of this. These people are insane." After two and a half years and a "natural winnowing process," everything turned out okay. The end.

Farewell to U.S. Airways
October 18, 2015
ON FRIDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER 16th, a U.S. Airways Airbus A321 took off from San Francisco and flew to Philadelphia. What was an otherwise routine red-eye to some of those on board was also the last-ever flight under the U.S. Airways name, bringing down the curtain on a company that traced its roots back more than three-quarters of a century.
When flight 1939, numbered in tribute to the year the airline was founded as All American Aviation, touched down a little before 6 a.m. on Saturday morning, the U.S. Airways brand officially ceased to exist, now fully and formally subsumed by American Airlines — a merger that has created what is for now the largest airline in the world (Emirates is knocking and knocking loudly).
You'll be seeing jets in the U.S. Airways livery for a little while longer. The superficial parts of the change-over take some time. On the legal side, though, the deal is done.
All American changed its name to Allegheny Airlines in 1953. Later the company was known as USAir. It was never quite the biggest airline, and neither was it the best. Its international network, for example, was never more than a fraction of what United, American, or Delta have assembled, and the company's passenger service reputation was mixed at best. Nonetheless, what originally was little more than a regional carrier in time became one of nation's largest, gobbling up or otherwise combining with smaller players as it went along: Lake Central, Mohawk, Piedmont, Pacific Southwest (PSA), America West. (The carrier always had a big presence here in Boston. When I was a kid, Allegheny's DC-9s and Bac One-Elevens swarmed noisily in and out of Logan by the dozens every day.)
Thus, U.S. Airways was itself quite an amalgamation of prior, call them "classic" carriers. In some ways the airline seemed to feel guilty in having taken over some of those classic older brands, a sentiment for which it rather awkwardly over-compensated: When USAir, as it was called at the time, purchased Piedmont and PSA in 1987, these brands had been so admired that a decision was made to keep the names alive. They were assigned to a pair of USAir Express affiliates. Suddenly, PSA, a name associated mainly with Southern California, found itself based in Ohio, while at airports along the Eastern Seaboard passengers could once again step aboard Piedmont. Sort of. As it were. The Allegheny name was assigned to yet a third Express division.
It's hard to feel overly sentimental for a name that was really just a bunch of other names. Still, it's sad to see them go.
There's been a lot of this in recent years. The vanishing of the Northwest, TWA and Continental names come to mind, to say nothing of the many post-Deregulation knockouts, from Eastern to Braniff to Pan Am. What other brands, we wonder, are destined for that big tarmac in the sky?
Addendum: As I type this, it's Tuesday morning and I'm sitting in the U.S. Airways — er, American Airlines — terminal at Boston-Logan, boarding an "American Shuttle" flight to Washington-Reagan. How strange that sounds: American Shuttle. We'll need to get used to it.
Here in the Northeast, the various "shuttles" have been operating for decades, connecting Boston, La Guardia, and Washington. Their histories can be confusing: U.S. Airways Shuttle was a hand-me-down from Donald Trump. The Trump Shuttle, as it was called, was the famous Eastern Shuttle before that.
One terminal over, meanwhile, is the Delta Shuttle (now operated by both mainline Delta and contractor "Connection" carriers). Delta's Shuttle had previously been the Pan Am Shuttle, parted out to Delta as Pan Am dismantled itself back in the early 1990s.

The Lincoln Continental is offered with a choice of three powerful V6 engines. The base engine is a 3.7L V6 making 305 hp, all-wheel drive is optional, though by default power is sent to the front wheels via a 6-speed automatic. A smaller 2.7L V6 makes 335 hp, the bigger power number coming courtesy of a turbocharger. Though horsepower only jumps by about 30, the 2.7L makes far more torque than the naturally aspirated but bigger 3.7L engine, with 100 lb-ft more on tap. The top of the line engine is a 3.0L V6, this time with two turbochargers, making an even 400 hp; while still making more torque than any other engine in the lineup. Opting for the most powerful engine necessitates all-wheel drive, with the only transmission option being a 6-speed auto.

House priorities: Where is the economy?
During the 2012 election, New Hampshire Democrats called New Hampshire Republicans "reckless," "irresponsible" and "extreme" and claimed that they had their priorities backwards. Democrats said they would focus on the economy and jobs, unlike Republicans, who focused on pet political issues. Well, let's take a look.
In the 2011-12 legislative session, House Speaker Bill O'Brien arranged the House calendar so that the first year of the session focused primarily on repealing previous tax increases, reducing regulations and passing a state budget without new tax hikes.He often delayed votes on bills regarding controversial social issues - abortion, gay marriage, etc. - until near the end of the two-year legislative session. That actually played into the Democrats' hands because those hot-button issues were in the news during the election year. New Hampshire Democrats have been in charge of the House for more than a year now. Three weeks into the second half of the 2013-14 legislative session, we can get a pretty good sense of their priorities. Those priorities are not exactly what voters were told they would be.The start of Democratic House rule in 2013 saw very little in the way of job-creating or economy-stimulating votes. Speaker Terie Norelli did manage to see that the House voted on bills to name the white potato the official state vegetable, allow assisted suicide and let legislators accept free lift tickets to Cannon Mountain. Once the governor's budget was released, the session was consumed with raising more state revenue and "restoring" cuts made by the previous Legislature, as promised during the campaign.
But that effort largely failed. Senate Republicans managed to keep spending down, and the House killed Gov. Hassan's top priority, expanded gambling.
So a lot was left for the second year of the session. What have been the priorities so far this year?
The 2014 session thus far has been consumed with bills to establish a state Obamacare exchange, expand Medicaid, allow license plate readers, legalize marijuana, let illegal aliens qualify for in-state college tuition rates, regulate title loan rates and label GMO foods.
This is hardly the job-creating, economy-stimulating agenda voters were told they would get.
House Democrats certainly have kept their promise to work hard to undo Republican tax and spending cuts and implement Obamacare. But they seem to have entirely forgotten about stimulating the economy and creating jobs.

Have you tried focusing a 28mm lens on a techno ground glass?Not my idea of fun.....IMO, lenses below 40mm (and a 40mm is difficult to focus on a GG) is what pancake cameras like the Arca, Alpa and Cambo are built for.
Actually for magnifiers, i saw on the internet a Hasselblad shade goes on the linhof sliding back (matt glass) is that correct ?.. as it might be handy in real life..
With the ground glass and wides, as light conditions get worse at some point one need to shoot partly in the blind. If you get experienced with the system you'll be able to nail those images too, and you can use tricks like strong flashlights, laser pointers or hyperfocal rail stops. If you unlike me use retrofocus lenses for the wides I would not worry much about it, I find it hard to believe that they would be as difficult to focus as some say. However, the ground glass image is small, the movements on the focusing rail must be precise, so if you have poor eyesight or are not so precise in hand movements it can be difficult. It is one of those things that some say is impossible and some say there is no problem whatsoever, so one cannot really know before trying out oneself. I took a chance and got my system without testing in advance, and I haven't regretted it.
Well the thing of pancake camera's, although they are great quality, i still like to see exactly what i compose, some times a bit afraid of the " charts " game, ...
There is no doubt that it is totally possible to focus very wide lenses on a GG but its always a worry and soon become a burden.
I am constantly doubting, between the pancake camera's and the Linhof techno types..That's why i now chose the Techno by Linhof, As it has a extreamly high build quality, and it is versatile. NO doubt a bout it i will buy an Alpa or so within 2 years or 3.. to add to my kit, ( to eventually have also wide angles).But now i don't know, i am continuously doubting, is a Alpa versatile enough for THIS moment in my career ...
I still wonder why it would not be a good idea to order the wide lens, 23, 28, or 32mm in a focusing mount, a la Arca or Calumet, then through experimentation, find infinity on the rail and mark it. From there, use the helical focus on the lens and a laser rangefinder just like the pancake boys do.
If you ask a user that changed to a pancake camera there will be a different answer than if you ask a user that still uses it.
The only problem with the Arca Swiss product line (other than $$$$) seems to be dealing with Arca Swiss.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald M. Rothberg, a versatile and respected reporter who covered politics, the Watergate scandal and foreign affairs during a 40-year career with The Associated Press, died on Friday after a brief illness.
Rothberg, 79, cut an impressive swath through the capital landscape, blending a reporter's need-to-know instincts with an easy-to-follow writing style that minced few words, laying bare his deep understanding of the corridors of power and the people who wielded it.
Born in Dorchester, Mass., and a graduate of Boston University, Rothberg was a journalistic frequent-flyer, whose writing and reporting pursuits took him across the United States with presidents and presidential candidates and to the four corners of the world with secretaries of state James A. Baker III and Warren Christopher.
He donned many hats in the Washington newsroom — chief political reporter, special investigative team member, diplomatic correspondent, enterprise writer, columnist, news editor. His reputation often made him the go-to man on breaking stories.
"Don loved covering smoke-filled-backroom politics and wanted his stories to give readers a chair in that room," said Kathleen Carroll, AP's executive editor. "No backslapper, he sometimes presented a crusty exterior, the tough news guy, but the barking burst of his laugh was always one of the best sounds in the newsroom."
Rothberg had a smooth but unrelenting journalistic style, and he wrapped his talent around some of the most eye-catching and history-making stories of the 20th century, including the Watergate scandal that toppled Richard M. Nixon's presidency. He was among a handful of seasoned newsroom veterans who could rightfully claim the aura of mentor without ever having to say it.
"Don was an unerring witness to the machinery of Congress in an era when great lawmakers knew when and how to cut a deal," said Jonathan P. Wolman, editor of The Detroit News and a former Washington AP chief of bureau. "He had an instinctive feel for politics — not just inside the Beltway but across the 50 states. He had an unabashed affection for the characters of public life and shared their stories generously with readers."
Rothberg's mastery of the special brand of journalism that is indispensable to covering Washington was obvious in his writing.
"Americans returned to their bullet-scarred Capitol less than 24 hours after a gunman fatally shot two policemen and sent a wave of fear through the national monument to freedom and democracy," he wrote in his account of a shooting rampage at Congress in July 1998.
After college and a tour of duty in the Army, he went to work in 1959 at The Daily Astorian in Astoria, Ore. Rothberg joined AP in Boston in 1961, covering politics and state government. He transferred to Washington in 1966 and was a member of the special assignment team when it won the Worth Bingham award for a series of investigative reports.
He covered Watergate from its early stages through Nixon's resignation in August 1974 and the cover-up trial. Rothberg also covered four presidential campaigns.
Rothberg demonstrated his versatility when he pitched in on AP's coverage of the stock market crash of Oct. 19, 1987 — Black Monday as it became known. And for his efforts, he shared in John Hancock Award for Excellence in Business and Financial Journalism and the Top Performance Award of the Associated Press Managing Editors association.
Although he officially retired from AP at the end of 1999, he wasn't through with news.
"Several years after his retirement, terrorists attacked Washington and New York on 9/11. Unbidden, Don showed up in the bureau and asked me simply, 'What can I do to help?'" said Sandy Johnson, AP's former Washington bureau chief.
Rothberg subsequently returned a second time to serve as news editor for national security coverage during the Iraq war, mentoring younger journalists and lending his wealth of experience to the news report.
Rothberg is survived by his wife, Lynn; their daughter, Jennifer Rothberg Tanzi; and her husband, Brian; grandsons Connor and Landon; and his sister, Charlotte Kaufman of Boston.

Under Nelson's direction, Suffolk University Law School has seen its percentage of students of color grow from 20 percent in 2010 to 30 percent in 2012, a notable advance during a time period when applications to law schools were declining.
The Power 100 listing cited Nelson's writings and lectures, which have focused on the intersection of critical race theory and cultural studies, with particular emphasis on criminal law and procedure. She is widely published internationally and domestically, and she has appeared in the media, lectured and presented in many countries, most recently in Jamaica, Lebanon, Sweden and France.
Nelson has been a professor of law at Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University and Saint Louis University School of Law and served as a distinguished scholar in residence at Washington University in Saint Louis School of Law.

Store Review: Chinatown Food Market
- Location: Kansas City, Missouri
Store History
- Headquarters: Kansas City, Missouri
Although Kansas City is known for its abundance of meat and potatoes, we also have a hidden gem of an Asian grocery store. Although it smells a little strange and unfamiliar when you first walk in (hey, we're honest), they have tastes and flavors that can't be found anywhere else in the city. We brought our camera along for our last visit to give you a peek inside!
The Chinatown Market in Kansas City, Missouri is located in the River District along the edge of the Missouri River. It lays next to our largest Farmer's Market in the Rivermarket neighborhood and has become a staple in our ethnic cooking supplies.
Many other local grocers are doing good to carry a rice wrapper or pre-made pad thai sauce, but this small market (compared to mega-marts) carries a high volume of Asian fare, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Filipino, Malaysian, and Indian. If you want Asian ingredients and products — you'll find it here! Aside from carrying a vast array of ethnic specialties, they have the most extensive seafood departments this side of the Mississippi (in the Midwest that is).
Usually we have a rule that if you don't live near a large body of water, that seafood is usually off the menu. The idea of frozen and cross-country shipped seafood kinda weirds us out. It's one thing if you live in a large metropolitan area on the ocean, or even within a days drive of the ocean, but out here in Cow Town, unless it's catfish or crawdads, it probably isn't fresh. This market is our only exception to that rule. The selection is so vast we're almost nervous to share this little secret with you, because if there's a new rush on clams and eel — we could be out of luck.
Along with regular pantry fare you'll also find fresh produce, eggs, tofu and all sorts of Asian specialties. They have a modest freezer section filled with pre-mdae goods. There's dumplings, desserts and durian — and anything else that starts with the letter "d." You're all set for any noodle or tea you could desire as there's a ridiculous amount to choose from. There's dishes and a few home accessories to decorate with, but for the most part, you're there for the food. Make sure to check it out if you're in town, it's a great place to find all 23 ingredients for your next Asian dish you thought you couldn't track down otherwise!

For a number of years plant breeders have been introducing yellow- or light green-leafed varieties of popular shrubs. The goal has been to select plants with attractive foliage that complements the flowers. An outstanding new selection is the 2003 Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Gold Medal winner Spirea thunbergii 'Ogon' Mellow Yellow.
Like other Spirea thunbergii varieties, Mellow Yellow is loaded with pure white flowers in spring before the leaves emerge. After the flowers fade, the yellow-to-chartreuse leaves give this bush a golden, healthy glow that brightens any landscape. The color show doesn't end with summer. In fall the leaves turn orange, red, pink, or salmon.
Mellow Yellow grows 4 feet wide and tall and prefers partial to full sun and well-drained soil in USDA Hardiness zones 5 to 9. It makes a dynamic statement when planted near purple-leafed shrubs, such as 'Royal Purple' smokebush and 'Rose Glow' barberry. Check local nurseries in spring for sources of Mellow Yellow.

With two strong players in the mobile security industry, this partnership recognizes the future is in both location-based and context-aware computing.
Rob Smith, co-founder and CTO of Mobile Active Defense, added, "Enterprises should be able to secure their mobile population with the same level of assurance they do their fixed enterprise. Both MAD and AirPatrol are real security companies, not just MDM vendors. Our partnership with AirPatrol brings unique and unprecedented control to mobile device administrators."

All of my work is a spiritual connection with my life, which has gone through many changes and looks like a patchwork. It is always an attempt to combine imagery and abstraction, an ongoing striving to communicate while going deeper. My curret work reflects this, beginning with abstract lines and evolving usually into tree forms. I will be showing the drawings iand some paintings n July and August at the Spotlight Gallery in Anaconda, Montana, owned by my sister, Kathy Carlson.
Since June 1 am no longer be in my studio at the ELWright building, as we were all evicted to make way for residential usits.
I have downsized amd moved my studio into my house at 1100 Hill Street, Hancock, MI 49930.
Last year I sent my remaining oil paintings to the Stoplight Gallery They will remain there, as I can no longer use oil paint due to allergies to the paint. However, many are still for sale. Contact the gallery.
I have decided that one way I can share my work is to have giclee prints made. Many of the images that are of interest could possibly be made into an archival print, about 15x17", for $150. Please email me if you are interested. firstname.lastname@example.com.

Features:I am usually not a fan of bras that don't have underwire. I feel more confident in a bra that has molded cups and underwire so that the nursing pads are a little more discreet. I adore the fact that the Sublime Nursing Bra has the lace that makes me feel more feminine and I was surprised by the amount of support that it provided even without underwire. The fabric is very thin and has lace, so I can't wear this with a thin shirt. You can see my breast pads and the lace through some shirts, but it has become my favorite to wear around the house(which I'm at most of the time).
- Nursing Lingerie: go ahead, show off your radiant style with soft delicate lace, and a beautiful fabric design
- Cotton Lining: we've thought of everything such as breathable and comfortable cotton lining inside the cups and against your skin keeping you comfortable all day long
- Soft Lace Nursing Bra: the fabric is soft to the touch and stretchy enough to fit your changing size so that you can wear as a nursing or maternity bra. Purchase your size in Sublime while pregnant and experience the enjoyment of continuing to wear it while nursing your new born baby.
- Bra fits up to a K Cup: This nursing bra is available in fashionable colors that fit up to a J/K cup.
- Full Access: Cups unclip at the shoulder and drop down and away from your body to give baby full access to your breast, providing you and your baby with skin-to-skin contact which is essential, specially when establishing a breastfeeding rhythm.
- Nursing clips that stay closed: proprietary clips lie flat under close-fitting clothing and easily open and close with one hand.
Bravado Designs also sent me the matching Sublime Bikini that fits perfectly. I love having a matching set that makes me feel even more confident even though no one knows that what I'm wearing matches.

Rep. Adam Schroadter: Penalties for marijuana use in NH should fit the crimeBY REP. ADAM SCHROADTER

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE House generated national media attention in January when it approved a bill that would have legalized and regulated marijuana for adult use. That bill was supported by 60 percent of voters, according to an October 2013 poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, but it was strongly opposed by Gov. Maggie Hassan and many state senators. Accepting political reality, in March the House decided against sending this bill to the Senate.
Fortunately for Granite Staters who would like to see New Hampshire reform its antiquated marijuana laws, the House overwhelmingly passed a more modest bill that would do so. House Bill 1625 would not make marijuana legal for anybody, but it would at least bring New Hampshire's penalties into line with the penalties found in other New England states.
As the prime sponsor of HB 1625, I was very pleased when it passed the House 215-92, and I'm confident that the Senate will be willing to give this bill the serious consideration it deserves.
The best argument for passing HB 1625 comes straight out of our New Hampshire Constitution. Part I, Article 18 says "all penalties ought to be proportioned to the nature of the offense." In other words, the punishment ought to fit the crime.
So I ask, what would be an appropriate penalty for possessing a small amount of marijuana?
If we as legislators ask the people who voted us into office, then according to several polls, the answer is that there should be no penalty at all. Polls have consistently found majority support for legalization, with opposition dwindling.
While HB 1625 doesn't make marijuana possession legal, it at least takes jail and criminal penalties off the table for personal use amounts. HB 1625 simply reduces the penalty for possession of one ounce or less of marijuana to a violation punishable by a fine of up to $100.
Under current law, possessing even a tiny amount of marijuana is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $2,000.
The bill also reduces other maximum penalties for amounts above one ounce, again, consistent with Article 18. Possession of up to six plants would remain a criminal offense, but it would be reduced from a felony to a Class A misdemeanor, which can still be punished by up to a year in jail. And although felony penalties would be maintained for the crime of selling marijuana, the maximum prison sentences would be reduced.
If we look at what other states are doing, I think we'll see that this approach isn't the least bit radical. In fact, now that Vermont decriminalized marijuana possession last year, New Hampshire is the only state left in New England that still maintains a criminal penalty with a possibility of jail time for marijuana possession.
In Maine, marijuana possession hasn't been a criminal offense since 1976. Have there been any bad outcomes associated with this policy in Maine? Not according to any data I've seen. In fact, according to surveys conducted by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, Maine has a lower rate of teen marijuana use than New Hampshire.
Given the experience of Maine and other states, I see no reason that we should hesitate to pass this reform. We in the New Hampshire House all understand that marijuana isn't a harmless substance — that it can be abused, as can alcohol, and that it should be kept away from young people — but a strong majority of the House believes the harms associated with this plant are not sufficient to justify a criminal penalty.
I'm confident that senators of both political parties will agree it makes sense to reduce marijuana penalties and apply our limited law enforcement resources more sensibly. We are all truly concerned about violent crime, property crime, and the abuse of truly dangerous drugs like heroin, cocaine, Oxycontin, and meth, so why would we want to continue wasting our limited resources on cases involving simple possession of marijuana?
Regardless of what readers might think about marijuana legalization, I hope we can all agree that our current penalties are excessively harsh and at least ought to be reduced. We should pass HB 1625 so we can allow police and prosecutors to focus their limited resources on more serious crimes.
For offenses involving simple marijuana possession, a fine would be just fine for New Hampshire.
Adam Schroadter is a Republican state representative from Newmarket.

Each day The Genealogy Center is fortunate enough to receive donations of all kinds to be added to our collection, but many of you might be curious about what happens to donations before they are available on the shelves for patrons to use.
Every item that is added to the collection is carefully analyzed to determine where it would be best placed and a corresponding call number is assigned. A record is then created in our catalog, which includes a description of the physical piece as well as prominent subjects and family names. These subject headings are what relate the books to one another and are incredibly useful in locating similar materials in our collection. Because this is the first step in the process, it is possible for a record to display in the catalog before the book is on the shelf. Once the record in the catalog, the book is then labeled with the assigned call number and with a unique bar code. At this point hardcover books are ready to go up to the shelves.
Donations that are unbound or softcover will need to be sent to the bindery to be bound in hardcover. All of the books in our collection are bound in hardcover to better preserve them for continued use. However, many materials need to have preservation steps taken before they can be bound. Books in poor condition, materials with variable sizes or items that contain acidic paper (usually newspaper clippings) are preservation photocopied on acid-free paper, and then the photocopies are sent to be bound. This step ensures that the piece is a standard size, and that the information contained is not lost due to wear from use or discoloration from acidic paper.
We are also fortunate to receive many manuscript collections that have been researched and compiled by researchers like you. Manuscript collections are the most time consuming materials that we handle, as they usually require a great deal of organization before they can be bound and placed on the shelves. Each manuscript is unique and must be organized in the most appropriate way according to the information that it contains. Once the lengthy organization and preservation process is completed, a catalog record is created and then the books are sent to be bound before being placed on the shelves.
Although the whole process can take quite a bit of time, our donations are a big part of what makes our collection special. We want to ensure that all of the books that go on our shelves are not only discoverable in the catalog, but also able to endure another generation of use.
If you have history, yearbooks, church directories, published genealogies, or personal research that you would like to donate to our collection, we would love to hear from you. Please send us an email.

New Holland's experimental hydrogen-powered tractor is a key element in a project that hopes to free farmers from the cost of purchased fossil-fuel and allow them to achieve fuel autonomy.
The concept is a natural fit with New Holland's Clean Energy Leader position, which saw the company lead the industry with its support for 100 percent biodiesel without complicated servicing programs or reduced machine performance.
Based on the popular New Holland T6000 Series tractor, the experimental NH tractor replaces the traditional combustion engine with hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity. Compressed hydrogen drawn from a tank on the tractor reacts in the fuel cell with oxygen, drawn from the air, to produce water and electrons.
The electrons are harnessed in the form of an electric current, which drives electric motors to power the tractor's drivetrain and auxiliary systems.
Working prototype
More than just an idea, the NH tractor is a 106 hp working prototype able to perform all the tasks of a T6000 tractor, while operating virtually silently and emitting only heat, vapor and water. The fuel cell generates less heat than an internal combustion engine, offers a consistent output of power and does not produce polluting nitrogen oxides, soot particles or carbon dioxide.
The clean operation of the tractor brings added health benefits when working in confined areas, such as barns or greenhouses.
Offer benefits
Hydrogen-powered vehicles have been in development for several years, offering many benefits over battery-driven vehicles, which are efficient only in a stop-and-start cycle and take a long time to recharge.
The working cycle of agricultural vehicles is similar to a car running on the highway at a constant speed.
Vehicles powered by hydrogen overcome these obstacles by using a compressed-hydrogen fuel to feed automotive fuel cells to generate electricity.
Fuel cells have a long working life and avoid the environmental issues of disposing of batteries, which lose their accumulation capacity during their life. Energy-dense compressed hydrogen can be stored conveniently in a tank, allowing the energy to be stored for an extremely long period and the vehicle to be refuelled quickly.

GOMEZ PALACIO, Mexico (AP) — Twenty-one members of a drug gang linked to the Sinaloa cartel have been detained in connection with as many as 30 killings and the abduction of five non-editorial employees of a newspaper who were later released, Mexican authorities said Thursday.
Prosecutors in the northern state of Durango said the kidnap-killing of a local politician in February was among the gang's alleged crimes. The victim, Mario Alberto Landeros, had been planning to run for mayor of a city in the state.
A statement from the state prosecutor's office said the suspects included at least six females; all were arrested in the northern city of Gomez Palacio and surrounding areas. Police said they recovered 20 rifles and bags of drugs in making the 21 arrests.
State Attorney General Sonia de la Garza said the gang dealt drugs, but also acted as an enforcement wing for the Sinaloa cartel led by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
Prosecutors' spokesman Raymundo Enriquez Partida said the suspects were being investigated in as many as 30 killings, and they were apparently responsible for arson attacks against businesses owned by the mayor of Gomez Palacio, a large city in Durango.
The newspaper employees worked at the Siglo de Torreon, a newspaper in the neighboring state of Coahuila. Abductors snatched two people who operated its online services, two employees of the advertising department and one administrative employee in February; they were released hours later.
Also in February, the Siglo de Torreon's building was the target of shooting attacks for three consecutive days.
The third attack killed a bystander and wounded two federal police officers guarding the building. The newspaper's offices have been attacked periodically by gunmen since 2009. No one had been hurt until March. The newspaper decided after the first attack in 2009 to stop all investigative journalism.
