Walter Niedermayr was born in 1952 in Bolzano, Italy where he currently lives and works.
Since 1985 Walter Niedermayr has been developping projects where he investigated the space as a reality occupied and shaped by man, questioning the ephemerical realms between representation and imagination. This can be seen in the series of works Alpine Landschaften (Alpine Landscapes) started 1987, Raumfolgen (Space Con / Sequences) started 1991, Rohbauten (Shell Constructions) started 1997, Artefakte (Artifacts) started 1992, Bildraum (Image-Space) since 2001. The last one focusses on architecture in a way that uncovers space and ambience. Between 2005 and 2008 the series Iran was started. Hist latest work The Aspen Series is a project-based work with multi-sites installations and a publication (Hatje Cantz) Since 2011 Walter Niedermayr is professor for fine art photography at the Faculty of Design and Art, Free University of Bolzano/Bozen.
In 2010 he participated in the 12th Venice Biennial International Architecture Exhibition and in 2008 in MANIFESTA7 as well as exhibitions at Mori Art Museum, Tokyo, Louisiana Museum, Humlebæk and Kunsthalle Schirn, Frankfurt. His collaborative project with SANAA is published in the book "Walter Niedermayr / Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishiwaza / SANAA" (Hatje Cantz Verlag Ostfildern 2007). A major retrospective was traveled between the Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig, Kunsthalle Wien, Kunstverein Hannover, Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart and Museion - Museum für Moderne und Zeitgenössische Kunst, Bozen (all 2003). Other solo exhibitions include DeSingel Int. Arts Centre, Antwerpen, Arc en Rêve Centre d'architecture Bordeaux, together with Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa / SANAA Architects Tokyo (both 2007).

Archaeological destinations like the San Agustín Archaeological Park will undoubtedly be the most fascinating experience of your trip.
Archaeological parks are one of the most important and impressive cultural riches in Colombia.
This is why every year thousands of tourists travel to these destinations in search of the past, and as they do so, they come closer and closer to the magic of these magnificent sites.
Archaeological tourism in Colombia is a memorable experience for discovering the marks left by the pre-Hispanic societies that inhabited this territory, their way of life, social organization, degree of development, nourishment, beliefs, constructions…
San Agustín Archaeological Park
All of the following await to be discovered: fascinating gigantic monoliths from a culture that remains unknown to this day at Alto de los Ídolos and Alto de las Piedras, (historians gave the name "San Agustín" to the culture and the park); tombs of pre-Columbian societies in Tierradentro; cave paintings in Facatativá, the marvelous museum of the Calima Culture near Cali, with its huge archaeological exhibits; the magical Ciudad Perdida, or Lost City, of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta; and the Muisca Raft that reveals the secret of the legend of El Dorado.
You will find many answers to the questions you may have when you visit Colombia's marvelous archaeological sites:

Isaiah Austin scored 18 points and Baylor held on after blowing most of a 21-point lead for a 78-73 victory over No. 17 Oklahoma on Thursday night in the Big 12 tournament quarterfinals.
Cory Jefferson added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the No. 7 seed Bears (23-10), who became the first lower-seeded team to win in this year's tournament. They advanced to face the winner of Texas-West Virginia in the semifinals on Friday night.
Cameron Clark scored 19 points and Buddy Hield had 15 for the second-seeded Sooners (23-9), who spent most of the second half frantically rallying from a 52-31 deficit.
They got within 72-68 on Hield's 3-pointer with 1:27 left, and had a chance to get even closer when Royce O'Neale turned it over for Baylor. But a 3-pointer by Jordan Woodard with about a minute left was off the mark, and O'Neal came through with a pair of free throws.

So, I have to brag for a minute. Gloria Steinem is coming to speak at my school in March. Yes, the Gloria Steinem. Is coming to my school. To do a convocation speech. For free. If you can't tell, I'm super stoked about this. Really, anyone in my position with my points of view would be.
Anyway — there is a point to my proud boasting; that is to say, this is going somewhere. Whilst having a freak out because the illustrious Gloria Steinem is coming to Oberlin, my friend asked me "Who is this person that you speak of?!" and I was all, "Ohmigod Gloria Steinem is only the hugest feminist figure ever!!!!" And yes, I had all of those exclamation points in my voice, too. So you know.
Point is, Gloria Steinem is, to me, a really big deal. I have infinite amounts of respect for her — not just because she's a feminist, but because of how she has really made use of her immense passion for issues of equality to make and inspire social change. You can say what you will about controversial statements she has made (there are definitely some that I disagree with!), but you cannot deny the extent to which she has mobilized and extended the feminist movement.
Anyway, Steinem recently spoke at Franklin and Marshall College and said something that I think is extremely important when considering the progress made thus far in gender equality. She made the claim that though many people feel that there female individuals are now on an equal level to that of males, there is still a long way to go.
It is true that there has been a significant amount of progress in recent years (though sometimes I really question that), and some might even say that we've reached a point – in the "Western World" at least – where women have the same rights as men.
But Steinem makes an extremely interesting and valid point that might not come to mind when thinking of feminism:
From a Lancaster, PA news outlet:
After all, many people now believe that a woman can do what a man can do, she said. The problem is that they don't believe a man can do what a woman can do, such as raise children.
In fact, one of the biggest challenges facing future generations is that women still have two jobs: one inside the home and one outside the home, she said in an interview after her speech.
Female college students often ask her, "How can I combine a career and family?" but male college students don't, she noted.
This statement is not only true, but also something that is not often considered as a pertinent gender-equality. Feminism isn't just about making sure that women can achieve the same salaries as men. It's about erasing the lines that define one gender from the other, the ones that persist in separating us according to our genitalia. It's about making common concepts such as raising family pertinent to both women AND men. We can't have women's equality without having equality for the male gender as well.
Oh Gloria Steinem. I can't wait to hear you say revolutionary things in person. I'm excited, bottom line.

It is often surprising to clients to learn that bankruptcy is not as bad as they always thought. Bankruptcy should rightly be thought of as a last resort, as it is not something to be taken lightly. However, often clients mistakenly believe the myth that bankruptcy will ruin your credit for 7-10 years. There is usually some truth in myths, so let us explain. The fact of the matter is that bankruptcy will typically be reported on a credit file by the credit bureaus for 7 years. There are some credit bureaus which report it up to 10 years, but whether a bankruptcy displays on your credit file or not does not necessarily indicate the strength and level of your creditworthiness. The reason for this is that credit scores and a person's creditworthiness for a particular lender depends mainly on a two year running history. Reach out to a dallas bankruptcy lawyer for more information about specific details on bankruptcy.
Two Years of Credit History Used to Determine the Bulk of Your Creditworthiness
What that means is that once two years have passed since you filed bankruptcy, your credit score could begin to climb fairly steadily. Many bankruptcy clients also have the ability to get their credit scores to 720 within a year to two years after bankruptcy simply by paying all bills on time and being diligent and careful with managing their debt. The all important phrase "paid as agreed" or "pays as agreed" comes into play here. What that means is that if you pay your bill as agreed, then you will be given good marks by the credit bureaus. If you miss a payment for $5 or for $5,000, your credit will take a hit that is nearly identical because it will show a late payment and the late part is the part that will hit your credit.
Many people are also surprised to learn that many people have filed bankruptcy whom they never would have thought would have filed bankruptcy. People are all around us, neighbors, friends from church, social group and lifelong friends who have filed bankruptcy without us even realizing it. This is because when a person files bankruptcy, their name is not splashed across a billboard describing their financial troubles. Bankruptcy is typically a very private thing for people.

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
Positive ANA Titer: The prolonged administration of procainamide often leads to the development of a positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) test, with or without symptoms of a lupus erythematosus-like syndrome. If a positive ANA titer develops, the benefits versus risks of continued procainamide therapy should be assessed.
Procanbid®(Procainamide Hydrochloride Extended-Release Tablets*)
Procanbid® (Procainamide Hydrochloride Extended-Release Tablets), a Group 1A cardiac antiarrhythmic drug, is p-amino-N-[2-(diethylamino) ethyl] benzamide monohydrochloride, molecular weight 271.
Procanbid® tablets are indicated for the treatment of documented ventricular arrhythmias, such as sustained ventricular tachycardia, that in the judgment of the physician are life-threatening. Because of the proarrhythmic effects of procainamide, its use with lesser arrhythmias is generally not recommended. Treatment of patients with asymptomatic ventricular premature depolarizations should be avoided.
Initiation of procainamide treatment, as with other antiarrhythmic agents used to treat life-threatening arrhythmias, should be carried out in the hospital.
Antiarrhythmic drugs have not been shown to enhance survival in patients with ventricular arrhythmias.
Because procainamide has the potential to produce serious hematologic disorders (0.5%), particularly leukopenia or agranulocytosis (sometimes fatal), its use should be reserved for patients in whom, in the opinion of the physician, the benefits of treatment clearly outweigh the risks. (See WARNINGS and Boxed Warning.)
Levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin decrease procainamide and N-acetylprocainamide renal clearances. [2005.04]Ten healthy adults participated in a randomized, crossover drug interaction study testing procainamide only, procainamide plus levofloxacin, and procainamide plus ciprofloxacin.
Transesophageal pacemaker therapy in atrial flutter after procainamide pretreatment. [1999.09]Transesophageal atrial stimulation was applied in 56 patients to terminate atrial flutter. Extrastimulation and atrial burst techniques were applied using programmable stimulator (Medtronic 5328) and hexapolar esophageal electrode catheters...
Comparison of propafenone versus procainamide for the acute treatment of atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery. [1999.08.01]A prospective, randomized, double-blind study to compare the efficacy in terminating postoperative atrial fibrillation of the class Ic drug propafenone versus class Ia drug procainamide was conducted. Intravenous propafenone was superior to procainamide in achieving rapid cardioversion and a better rate control with a lower incidence of symptomatic hypotension..
Propafenone versus procainamide for conversion of atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm. [1998.10]BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS: Antiarrhythmic drugs are widely used for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) and restoration of sinus rhythm. This prospective, randomized, and controlled study compared the efficiency and safety of propafenone versus procainamide for the treatment of acute AF... CONCLUSION: In the present study, procainamide was more effective than propafenone for the treatment of AF of short duration.
Conversion efficacy and safety of intravenous ibutilide compared with intravenous procainamide in patients with atrial flutter or fibrillation. [1998.05]OBJECTIVES: This multicenter study compared the efficacy and safety of ibutilide versus procainamide for conversion of recent-onset atrial flutter or fibrillation. BACKGROUND: Ibutilide fumarate is an intravenous (IV) class III antiarrhythmic agent that has been shown to be significantly more effective than placebo in the pharmacologic conversion of atrial flutter and fibrillation to sinus rhythm. Procainamide is commonly used for conversion of recent-onset atrial fibrillation to normal sinus rhythm... CONCLUSIONS: This study establishes the superior efficacy of ibutilide over procainamide when administered to patients to convert either atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter to sinus rhythm. Hypotension was the major adverse effect seen with procainamide. A low incidence of serious proarrhythmia was seen with the administration of ibutilide occurring at the end of infusion.
Certain People With A Fib May Have Changes on Ecg When Given Procainamide That May be Related to a Genetic Difference [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to look for a similarity in people's genes that may help
understand which people could benefit from certain drugs for the treatment of atrial
Iv Amiodarone Versus Iv Procainamide to Treat Haemodynamically Well Tolerated Ventricular Tachycardia [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intravenous amiodarone has less cardiac
significant adverse events compared to intravenous procainamide in the acute treatment of
haemodynamically well tolerated wide QRS tachycardia, the majority of them of probably
ventricular origen.
Ajmaline Utilization in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Cardiac Arrhythmias [Recruiting]
The study evaluates 3 different populations:
It is an open, randomized, parallel-group study comparing the effectiveness of intravenous
(iv) ajmaline with currently used antiarrhythmic drugs in the acute treatment of :
1. recent-onset atrial fibrillation versus iv flecainide
2. sustained monomorphous ventricular tachycardia versus iv procainamide
The study also evaluates in an open, randomized, crossover study, the use of iv ajmaline
versus iv flecainide in the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome
Cardiac Arrest in Seattle: Conventional Versus Amiodarone Drug Evaluation (CASCADE) [Completed]
To compare the efficacy of amiodarone to conventional anti-arrhythmic therapy in individuals
who had survived one episode of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Electrophysiologic Study Versus Electrocardiographic Monitoring (ESVEM) [Completed]
To determine whether electrophysiologic study (EPS) or Holter monitoring (HM) was the better
method for selecting effective long-term antiarrhythmic drug therapy in patients with
sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or an episode of aborted sudden

The Residence Hall Council is all about community on the campus of St. Thomas University. No where is that community more important than in the residence halls. Of course, great community cannot come from outside of the halls—it must come from the inside. That is the purpose of Hall Council in a nutshell—provide a better community for the residents. This is done in several areas:
1) Voice the opinions of the residents on important student life issues
2) Provide entertaining and/or educational programs for the residents
3) Manage the community resources of the hall
4) Represent the halls in the SGA
The general membership of RHC consists of all students residing in residence halls at STU. The business assembly of RHC consists of an executive board, elected Residence Hall Senators (one from each floor), and an advisor.

Booka Shade & Pete Tong mix All Gone
It wouldn't be an Ibizan season without a slew of compilations from all the names in the game, trying to pin down on CD what they think the current season's sound is all about.
Making an early move with the opening parties barely underway, Pete Tong's All Gone brand is back in force with a two-disc set of major league house, tech house and techno. This time he's drafted in German champions Booka Shade to craft one half of the CD, while Tong resides over the other. If his own track selection is a prophecy for the sound of Tongy's residency at Pacha, then it should be quite a chunky, hard-edged house sound that he takes to the club this year. Meanwhile Booka Shade have unsurprisingly erred towards the deeper side of the dance, reflecting their roots in the minimal scene, albeit shot through with a fluffy melodic side.
The CD is released on June 11, with Booka Shade celebrating the event just ahead of time with a DJ set at All Gone... on June 8.

and the countdown is taking place…and libdems kicked into touch
It was not a surprise that the LibDems took a beating in the local authority elections, but an indicative 4% in London mayoral race was a slight surprise.
As we all knew, it is a Ken/Boris race – again.
The LibDems ran, locally, an appalling campaign. Not a single bit of publicity arrived through our mail box. Nothing. As in the last election, they where focusing on this supposed support base in Bayswater. Wrong, wrong, wrong. There is a good support base all across City of Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea, which is being ignored.
What now? Time to really look at where we are. Lots of local campaigning to do, all across London and try to distance ourselves from the Tories.

PROVIDENCE — Ed Cooley knew he was in store for some rough sledding the moment he signed up at Providence College last March.
The task is great, but even Cooley had shake his head in disbelief based on what went down prior to the Friars hitting the floor for their first exhibition game on Tuesday night. A thin roster was stretched even thinner as Cooley had just eight scholarship players available for his team's tuneup against Assumption College.
WOONSOCKET — It's been a long, difficult year for Woonsocket High, but on Tuesday afternoon, the one-win Villa Novans nearly came away with the highlight of their season and a big upset victory over their playoff-bound, crosstown rivals.
Down by a 2-0 score after a half of action, Mount St. Charles Academy battled back with three goals in the first 25 minutes of the second half and held on for a 3-2 victory before a large gathering at the Mounties' lower soccer field.
Some quick-hitting observations/notes to pass along …
It almost never fails. Every time a major sporting event fails to reel in the viewing public, there's some sort of announcement bemoaning how interest is down.
BURRILLVILLE – Over-confident? Thinking too far ahead?
Walking off the field, Burrillville high coach Amy Carbone couldn't come up with a reason why her talented squad was simply overpowered by its Division III opponent.
That game was more than a month ago – a 5-0 defeat to Middletown on Sept. 19.
Since that defeat and the three games before it, it has been nothing but smooth sailing for the Lady Broncos. After its latest victory, a 11-0 Senior Day rout of Davies Tech on Monday afternoon, Burrillville improved its league record to 14-1-0.
PAWTUCKET — Lincoln School's doubles team of Hayley Lough and Jamie Pine continued their mastery of Mount's Katherine Porcaro and Emily Cardosa in Saturday's state championship finals at Slater Park.
Mount won the first set 6-4 before the Lincoln School duo used a topspin lob technique to great advantage while winning the final two sets, 6-1 and 6-2. The Lynx team has won all three matches this season between the No. 1 doubles squads of the Division I powers.
BURRILLVILLE – It was a day that Kevin Deschamps and his Burrillville teammates soon won't forget.
Deschamps finished with 202 rushing yards on 14 attempts with four touchdowns as the Burrillville picked up its first win of the season, blowing past Scituate, 45-6, in a non-leaguer Saturday at Alumni Field.
"It was great to see the kids enjoy today," said Broncos head coach Gennaro Ferraro, whose team has absorbed more than its fair share of close setbacks. "It was nice to see all that hard work pay off."
FOSTER — Ponaganset High may have lost to division-leader Tolman High, 21-14, yet the loss hardly placed a damper on the Chieftains' playoff outlook.
NORTH SMITHFIELD — The Northmen took care of business on Friday night, outclassing the PCD Co-Op juggernaut by a 35-6 margin.
North Smithfield is now 2-2 in Division IV with three tough assignments left on its league schedule. The Northmen visit North Providence (2-2) next Friday, then host currently unbeaten Mount Pleasant (4-0) on Nov. 4 and then entertain a currently 4-1 Central Falls squad on Nov. 11.
LINCOLN — On paper, there's not much that separates the top two teams in Division II-North – Lincoln High and Mount St. Charles Academy.
On the field Friday afternoon, the numbers didn't lie.
The first-place Lions scored all of the offense it would need and then held off a very-determined Mount squad in the second half to post a 3-1 win at Manville Park.
With three games left on its schedule, the victory improved Lincoln's league record to 14-1-0 and all but secured it the II-North crown. The second-place Mounties dropped to 10-2-0 with still six games remaining.
BURRILLVILLE — Tom Kenwood gave a promise to his Cumberland High squad before competing at the annual Bronco Invitational. If four of his runners could crack 17 minutes on the event's five-kilometer course at Burrillville Middle School, he would shave off his beard.
Kenwood didn't have to get out his razor after Thursday's meet, but he almost did.

About the Couples Course
Posted September 2, 2011on:
In order to explain the Couples Course, and how it was developed, I am going to tell you a story; the story of me.
I was doing everything I was told to do. I went to the right schools. I had the right job. I dated the right people. I had acquired all the right stuff, and I had the right life. So why did I not feel "right?" In fact, why did I feel so profoundly wrong?
Surrounded by people, I felt alone. In the midst of the vibrance and the color of life, I felt grey. Not only that, but I resented those who seemed more colorful. This was not a healthy way to live.
Even though I couldn't touch it, I knew that there was something else, another way to live, even if I didn't feel I could have it, I knew it was there. If only because the alternative was too depressing to think about.
I began a journey to discover what was missing, and in the midst of that journey, in all of my research, in the years of studying intimacy, one thing kept emerging; Touch.
Those who felt connected to those around them were free with their touch, whereas to those who felt disconnected, touch seemed confusing, and in some ways annoying to them. They pulled away from it, sometimes subtly, other times violently. Their hugs were two taps on the back and separate. Their physical boundaries were rigid.
And I… was one of those people.
And so, I started to practice how to touch others around me; to see how it changed me. And then, there was an opening, and then another, and another. I shut down after some, and some were so expansive I felt I was lost. Throughout the process, in through those openings, feeling flooded into me. I felt at this deep instinctual level what it was be to HUMAN. HAPPY. ALIVE.
We have been taught by society to believe in logic over feeling, to believe thoughts of sensual pleasure are wrong and we are deviant for having them, and to believe that love is some mystical force you cannot understand. These beliefs have been taught to us because the society that teaches us has shame around them. But we are not a society, we are people, we are human.
The good news is that you can not only learn to eliminate the guilt of sensual pleasure, but do it in a way that is in integrity with who you are. Granted, it took me 5 years, intense inquiry, and a boatload of missteps and pain to not only find that out, but to develop a way others could follow without having to step in all the thorn bushes I did along the way.
When it comes to intimacy and relationships, regardless of our fear or bravado, there is a process you can learn that helps you create the life, and the relationships you desire.
Designed to address various levels of resistance to intimacy, I developed a fivefold framework, and created the Couples Course to walk you through that process, step-by-step. This framework, Focus IN, Attention OUT, Cleary Communicate, Touch, and Play! facilitates connecting with others in a way that is pleasurable, and provide you experiences to use as a basis for further exploration and inquiry.
In the Couples Course you will learn how to:
- center yourself, notice and identify sensations in your body, and elevate your self-care
- develop meaningful relationships outside of your partnership, and why that is healthy for both of you
- notice what is really happening in your relationship, as opposed to the judgements you have
- cleanly and clearly communicate with your partner without blame or agenda,
- express your desires without shame, and pursue those desires without becoming slave or addicted to them
- tap into your inner-child and learn to play with each other freely

2002 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Susan R. Ogrinc, RRT, James E. Martin, RRT, Departments of Pulmonary Services, and Pediatrics, MetroHealth Medical Center, Cleveland, OH
BACKGROUND: Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) devices are used for secretion mobilization, and prevention and treatment of atelectasis. The EzPAPTM Positive Airway Pressure Therapy System provides positive pressure during the total respiratory cycle. Administering 5-15 L/m of compressed gas into the gas inlet port is amplified fourfold by the coanda effect, which produces the desired therapeutic pressure level. The purpose of this study was to see if positive pressure was maintained throughout the respiratory cycle during simulated spontaneous breathing.
METHOD: A two-section test lung (2600I; Michigan Instruments) was used to simulate spontaneous breathing. A Puritan Bennett 7200 ventilator in volume mode powered the driving chamber. The EzPAP was attached to the distal port of the test chamber. A coupler was attached between the two compartments of the test lung. Peak Inspiratory Flow Rates (PIFR) of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, and 60L/m were achieved by varying the ventilator tidal volume and peak flow rates. The resistance (RP5) on the test chamber remained constant. An airway monitoring device (Bicore CP 100) was placed between the EzPAP and test chamber and used to set spontaneous PIFR and measure pressures. An anoid manometer was attached to the pressure port of the EzPAP. During simulated spontaneous breathing, the lowest inspiratory pressures were recorded using 5,10 and 15 L\m of Oxygen. Two additional devices were randomly checked at various PIFR to ensure reproducibility of results (+1 cm H2O).
RESULTS: The lowest inspiratory pressure levels are recorded in the chart below. PIFR from 0-30 L\m maintained positive pressures for all three-oxygen settings. At 40 L\m the 5 L\m oxygen setting resulted in an ambient pressure reading. Only 15L\m oxygen maintained a positive pressure during inspiration at all flowrates tested.
CONCLUSION: EzPAP provides positive pressure throughout the respiratory cycle except for extreme inspiratory flow rates making it a suitable PAP adjunct. Use of a pressure manometer and the continual reinforcement of correct breathing can ensure the desired pressures.

U.S. Department of Education: Source of Research
But, First, a Little Background.
Remember when people talked about the "3-Rs," reading, writing, and 'rithmetic, as the basic ingredients of a sound education? Well, there's every reason to add a fourth "R" to this list an 8-letter word that is frequently the focus of controversy, confusion, and even anxiety, for educators, as well as for parents. That word is research!
By itself, and without mention of how it is being used, this "R" word commands a sense of authority, and causes us to stop and think and listen. After all, what could be better than making decisions based on the systematic investigation of a particular question and getting at the truth about a particular problem? Indeed, we live in a society that is driven by all kinds of data, from the nutritional data on food packages to financial data to data derived from medical tests that report on such things as levels of cholesterol. And we have all come to expect that experts around us are making recommendations and decisions based on factual information that has been organized for analysis so that meaningful conclusions may be drawn.
Even though most of us are not intimately familiar with the types of research done by the biomedical community (tissue samples, test tubes, microscopes, and such), we trust (or at least hope) that it is "cutting edge" and that it translates directly into results that are used by our doctors. Research-based practices in medicine are the best offense and defense when it comes to staying healthy. The same argument can be made for research in the educational community. After all, don't we want colleges of education to prepare teachers who are versed in the most effective, research-based practices? Shouldn't we depend upon classroom educators to be experts in the delivery of instruction that is based upon carefully researched, tested and proven strategies?
There is much that we still do not know about how best to teach and support children, adolescents, and adults with (and without) learning disabilities. And unfortunately, less than 0.01% of our nation's overall annual education budget is spent on research, compared with 5-15% typically spent by corporations. The good news, however, is that there is much that we do know that has not yet found its way into the hands of parents and educators.
We are confident that this column will help teachers to expand their repertoire of research-based practices. And we are sure that parents will use this column to arm themselves with information about proven practices, so they can be powerful and successful advocates and partners with school personnel.

Controlled drugs legislationThe management of controlled drugs is governed by the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and its associated regulations (In England, Scotland and Wales). Additional Statutory measures are laid down in the Health Act 2006 and its associated regulations.
Legislative framework
The management of controlled drugs is governed by the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and its associated regulations (In England, Scotland and Wales). Additional Statutory measures are laid down in the Health Act 2006 and its associated regulations.
The existing legislation and guidance surrounding controlled drugs is shared between a variety of government departments and other agencies. For example, the Misuse of Drugs Act and associated regulations fall within the remit of the Home Office but some drugs may also be subject to the Medicines Act, managed by the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency).
A list of drugs controlled under the misuse of drugs legislation, showing each drug's classifications under both the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 is held on the Home Office website.
Sector specific guides based on legislation and good practice can be accessed via the guidance section.
Misuse of Drugs Act 1971
The Misuse of Drugs Act controls the export, import, supply and possession of dangerous or otherwise harmful drugs. In effect the Act largely renders unlawful all activities in the drugs controlled under the act except provided for under the regulations made under the Act. The drugs which are subject to the control of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and are listed in Schedule 2 of the Act and are termed Controlled Drugs. Drugs controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 are divided into three classes A, B and C for the purposes of establishing the maximum penalties which can be imposed.
Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 (201 Regulations)
The use of CDs in medicine is permitted by the Misuse of Drugs Regulations (MDR). The current version of the Regulations made under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 are the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 (2001 Regulations) which came into operation in February 2002. The MDR are periodically amended and revised and the 2001 regulations have been subject to a number of amendments. The MDR currently in force and its amendments can be found at the website of the Office for Public Sector information. For details of the more recent amendments, links to the Home Office Circulars — which set out summaries of the changes are available from: www.knowledgenetwork.gov.uk/HO/circular.nsf/
The Office for Public Sector information website should be checked on a regular basis for the most up-to-date amendments.
The 2001 Regulations divide CDs into five Schedules, which dictate the degree to which a CD's use is regulated. The Schedule in which a CD is placed depends upon its medicinal or therapeutic benefit balanced against its harm when misused. Schedule 1 CDs are subject to the highest level of control, whereas Schedule 5 CDs are subject to a much lower level of control. A comprehensive list of drugs included within the Schedules is given in the Misuse of Drug Regulations 2001 and can be accessed at: www.opsi.gov.uk
Misuse of Drugs (Safe Custody) Regulations 1973
The Misuse of Drugs (Safe Custody) Regulations 1973 (the Safe Custody Regulations) imposes controls on the storage of CDs. The degree of control depends on the premises within which the drugs are being stored. Particularly stringent requirements apply to retail premises and certain care homes.
Misuse of Drugs and Misuse of Drugs (Safe Custody) (amendment) Regulations 2007
This regulation amends the Misuse of Drugs 2001 AND the Misuse of Drugs(Safe Custody) Regulations to:
- Give authority to Accountable Officers, within their organisations to nominate persons or groups of persons to witness the destruction of CDs.
- Allow ODPs to order, possess and supply CDs
- Remove the requirement to maintain a Controlled Drug Register in a prescribed format
- Change the record keeping requirements for CDs
- Reschedule Midazolam from Schedule 4 to Schedule 3 of the 2001 Regulations
Misuse of Drugs (Supply to Addicts) Regulations 1997
The 1997 Regulations prohibited doctors from prescribing, administering or supplying diamorphine, cocaine or dipipanone for the treatment of addiction or suspected addiction except under Home Office licence. However an amendment was introduced in June 2007. Doctors no longer need individual home office licences to prescribe diamorphine, cocaine, dipipanone see: www.drugs.homeoffice.gov.uk/drugs-laws/licensing/domestic-licences/doctors.
A general licence has been issued to cover those doctors who have been approved by the Department of Health.
Medicines Act 1968
This Act and regulations made under the Act sets out the requirements for the legal sale, supply and administration of medicines. It also allows certain exemptions for the general restrictions on the sale, supply and administration of medicines which, for example, enable midwives to supply and /or administer diamorphine, morphine, pethidine or pentazocine.
A number of health care professionals are permitted to supply and/or administer medicines generally in accordance with a Patient Group Direction (PGD). Some of these professional groups, but not all, are permitted to possess, supply or administer CDs in accordance with a PGD under Misuse of Drugs legislation.
The Health Act 2006
The Health Act 2006 provided for regulations to be laid relating to strengthened governance and monitoring arrangements for controlled drugs. The Health Act is primary legislation and applies to the whole of the UK.
The Key provisions of the act are:
- All designated bodies such as healthcare organisations and independent hospitals are required to appoint an Accountable Officer.
- A duty of collaboration placed on responsible bodies, healthcare organisations and other local and national agencies including professional regulatory bodies, police forces, the Healthcare Commission and the Commission for Social Care and inspection to share intelligence on controlled drug issues.
- A power of entry and inspection for the Police and other nominated people to enter premised to inspect stocks and records of controlled drugs.
The Controlled Drugs (Supervision of Management and Use) Regulations 2006
The Controlled Drugs (Supervision of Management and Use) Regulations 2006 came into effect in England on the 1st January 2007. These Regulations set out the requirements for certain NHS bodies and independent health care bodies to appoint an accountable officer and describe the duties and responsibilities of accountable officers to improve the safe management and use of CDs. The regulations also require bodies to co-operate with each other, including with regard to sharing information, about concerns about use and management of controlled drugs and set out arrangements relating to powers of entry and inspection.

From my first day at Strike Martial Arts in 2004; I was surrounded by encouragement, support and enthusiasm. I was welcomed with open arms and that sentiment continued throughout the years I trained at Strike. The calibre of the people at Strike is immeasurable, Master Shane and Ms Nicole are two of the most dedicated, passionate and supportive people I have been lucky enough to meet. The relaxed and friendly nature of the club creates an overriding sense of community; which made my journey to become a Black Belt an unforgettable and gratifying experience.
Strike became like a second family, not only a place to which I came to train, but rather, somewhere which encouraged me to reach my goals. The dedication, respect and humility which I learnt throughout my training; I believe, contributed to my success in my studies and career path as a medical practitioner. The skills and techniques which I acquired throughout studying martial arts were only one aspect of what was learnt during my time at Strike Martial Arts; I learnt the value of determination, self-respect, commitment and friendship.
Strike Martial Arts provided me with so much, but I hold nothing more dear than the time I was blessed to share with a group of truly astonishing people – the memories gained will forever be held close. The training experience provided by Strike is unique, in that it offers a friendly and encouraging atmosphere; whilst ensuring you are pushed to reach your full potential. For that, I will forever be grateful.

Donald Sterling: A dreadful old racist gets what he deserves
Christie Blatchford, Postmedia NewsPublished: Tuesday, April 29, 2014
So rare is it in the modern world to see a leader - in government, business, public or private sector or anywhere in between - do the right thing with conviction that it is almost unrecognizable when it happens.
Enter Adam Silver, the new NBA commissioner, who Tuesday announced that the disgraced Los Angeles Clippers' owner, Donald Sterling, is immediately banned for life from any association with the team he owns and the NBA - banned from games, practices, buildings, team meetings and decisions and board of governor activities. He also fined Sterling the maximum $2.5 million allowable under league rules and pledged to do everything he can to convince the board of governors to force a sale of the team.
And, Silver said, "I fully expect to get the support I need."
Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling sits with V. Stiviano at a Clippers game.
Danny Moloshok/The Associated Press/FileMore pictures: < Prev | Next >Email to a friendPrinter friendly
Given that this story broke only last weekend, when Sterling's ghastly ramblings were first released to a couple of gossip websites, and that the NBA first had to conduct at least a semblance of an investigation, chiefly to confirm that it was indeed Sterling's voice heard on the tape excerpts, this is a speedy and harsh reaction to the storm of outrage wrought by Sterling's remarks.
Now, outrage is the mother's milk of social media and the wired planet, true, but this time it was warranted.
The notion that those who love basketball, which is more than any other black America's (yes the league is multi-racial and diverse, as are the fans, but basketball isn't as cool as it is because of, say, the Croatian players), should have had to suffer the presence of this dreadful old man at one more game even one more minute was unpalatable.
As Silver said of the Clippers' players, "They've been through an incredibly difficult incident in their lives," and indeed they had. It was a lovely bit of empathy for the black players of the NBA.
Imagine how they felt to learn that the guy sitting courtside, the guy at least figuratively if not literally signing their cheques, so loathed just the colour of their skin that he asked his girlfriend not to bring black guests to the games and to remove a picture of herself on Instagram with Magic Johnson, one of the legends of the game?
As for the question of whether Sterling should be punished for remarks made in private, Silver's curt reply was perfect, and ought to stand as fair warning of the new rules for all those in anything approaching public life: "Whether or not these remarks are private, they are now public, and they represent his views."
So then, thanks to a commissioner who appeared to genuinely share the upset and anger of the players, coaches and sponsors who already had spoken out, and who has done the right thing, the old racist gets precisely what he deserves.
Mind you, given the company he has kept for the past four years - the self-named V. Stiviano, his 31-year-old "archivist"-cum-mistress - Sterling already was getting it.
He is still married, to Rochelle (Shelly) Sterling, but since 2010, has been having a sexual relationship (out, damned image!) with Stiviano, Mrs. Sterling alleges.
As her lawsuit against Stiviano says repeatedly, Mrs. Sterling is "a married woman" and for more than 50 years too, which just happens to be the approximate age gap between archivist and Mr. Sterling, who turned 80 last Saturday.
She is suing Stiviano, in essence claiming that she's an opportunistic gold digger who has wheedled a ton of money and property from "wealthy older men," including Mrs. Sterling's, money and property that Mrs. Sterling says under California law was rightly partly hers.
These would not qualify as shocking revelations to anyone who has even perused Stiviano's Instagram pictures, wherein she is invariably scantily clad and pouting, or had a listen to the excerpts of the taped chats she certainly didn't leak to the websites.
If there is a more vacuous conversation that has ever been in the public domain than the vapid and cloying exchange between these two, it doesn't come immediately to mind.
"A little bit of juice for you honey?" Stiviano offers, tape recorder chugging merrily away (where, I wonder, could she ever have stashed it given her wardrobe?), as her sugar daddy babbles on about her alleged need to "promote" or "broadcast" herself in the company of black people.
He tells her she's supposed to be a delicate white or Latina girl; she reminds him she's "mixed" (Mexican and black) and that he's supposed to be in love with her; he tells her she promised to remove all the pictures of black people from her "the Instagram" and hasn't done it; she replies that she did, except for a couple of people, including Magic, whom she admires, and another fellow she describes as "lighter, whiter than me."
Sterling isn't the only one in that party of two who is acutely, weirdly race-conscious.
On and on it goes, he whinging and mewling ("Everything you say to me is so painful!") and sounding frankly a bit addled, she pushing that juice ("Juice for you honey?" and "How can I make you feel better?") in that voice alternately flat and hard or syrupy.
I know it's a story as old as the hills that unpleasant, old, rich men and vacant, young, luscious dames hook up in these ghastly affairs. I've just never understood it, for either party: The --ing you get invariably ain't worth the --ing you're going to get.
In bygone eras, that said, the privates stayed private. Now there is no such animal, as Silver noted. If only it were all banned for life, mine anyway.

Teen in custody in connection with shooting
Updated On: Sep 10 2013 12:42:57 PM CDT
Police said a Madison teen is in custody in connection with a north side shooting that injured two men.
The Madison Police Department said Algernon Caldwell Jr., 18, turned himself in to police Tuesday morning. He was charged with first-degree reckless endangering safety and carrying a concealed weapon stemming from a shooting Friday night.
Police had said at about 11:35 p.m., a shooting involving a shotgun occurred in the 1700 block of Northport Drive. Police believe there was a fight in an apartment complex prior to the shooting.
Police said two adults were unintended targets and sustained non-life-threatening injuries as a result and have since been treated and released from an area hospital.
Police said they have probable cause to arrest Algernon Caldwell on suspicion of first-degree recklessly endangering safety and carrying a concealed weapon. Caldwell is at large and should be considered armed and dangerous, according to police.
According to police, officers do not believe that the Northport Drive shooting and a shooting on Theresa Terrace are related.

Written by Judith A. Burgess Friday, 14 January 2011 00:00
As we commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King's 82nd birthday this weekend, it is important to remember what he stood for: correcting past injustices, giving the voiceless a voice, righting the wrongs and making the invisible visible. In this spirit, I share some of the results of my research, which shows that African Americans have lived in Westbury since the 18th century and helped to build the village we know today.
My family moved to Westbury in the early 1980s and it was our impression that African Americans were fairly recent arrivals to the quiet suburban village of Westbury. Yet this perception changed dramatically one day at Columbia University as I came across an article that mentioned a group of African American women, who were trying to raise funds in 1892 to establish an institution in Westbury, Long Island.
Among the organizers of the fundraising event were African-American women from Westbury, Flushing, Brooklyn and Manhattan in New York and Jersey City, New Jersey. These women organized as the Afro American Union were soliciting donations to help meet the cost of erecting a building. Their plan was to open a Fresh Air Home in Westbury for working women and girls, a place where they could "resort and find rest, quiet and a fresh invigorating atmosphere." The article went on to state that the institution was being established in memory of Henry Highland Garnet. Reverend Garnet was an outstanding African-American abolitionist and religious leader, who died in 1882 while serving as the United States Minister to Liberia.
When I first read the article at Columbia, I was more than surprised. I had not come across such a memorial institution to Reverend Garnet in the early history of all of New York. In fact, I had researched the activities of early free black communities in New York, such as Weeksville in Brooklyn and Little Africa in Manhattan and wondered what could have made Westbury an appropriate site for such an undertaking in the late nineteenth century.
Immediately, I wanted to know more about this effort. Who were these women? Did they ever succeed in building this institution in Westbury? Where is it today? Once I started raising these questions, I was driven to search for the answers. My research took a new direction and revealed a significant African-American presence in Westbury that had been hidden until now.
The Search
In 2006, I started the quest to find the "Garnet House" by talking with people I knew in Westbury and the surrounding area. The moment I began asking about this African-American institution, I was directed to New Cassel, the unincorporated neighboring area to Westbury that has an African American majority. While many New Cassel residents gave me invaluable leads, none of these early contacts knew of the "Garnet House."
In Westbury, although they could not recall anything about the "Garnet House," local history buffs and long time residents directed me to the Historical Society of the Westburys. At the Historical Society, I discovered that no one knew of the place and, in fact, the Society's walking tour of Westbury at the time only included two African-American institutions, the AME Zion Church on Grand Boulevard (est. 1834) and the Bethel AME Church on Maple Ave (est. 1887).
However, the society's collection of loosely organized material was a treasure trove. For months, I sifted and sorted through their materials, including large boxes of mostly unlabeled and unclassified documents, as I tried to piece together the puzzle as to the whereabouts of the Garnet House. This labor-intensive process was made even more so because the Society's materials could be used for only a few hours per week and there were no funding aids.
Finding the Garnet House
The first step I took to find the "Garnet House" was to look for evidence of the building. In addition to the resources at the Historical Society that I had been examining, I began by looking at maps, census data and property records from a number of archives and libraries that I had used in past research.
After about six months, the clues started falling in place. I was guided by the conviction that if the "Garnet House" was in Westbury, it would have some linkage to Westbury's African American residents or community. I traced the African American presence in Westbury from the 18th to the 20th century. In essence, using primary and secondary historical resources, I documented how people of African descent came to Westbury in the late 1600s and early 1700s as enslaved people. They worked for Quaker farmers, who subsequently freed them, many by 1776, due to their religious beliefs and the persuasion of their leaders.
My research also revealed that Native American inhabitants, who preceded both Quakers and African Americans – were by and large displaced by the influx of these newcomers, except where they joined with African Americans and continued to live in the area. As I followed African American progress in Westbury, I discovered evidence of their struggles to live as free people before emancipation and as freedom seekers fleeing the South to find refuge here.
After slavery came to an end in New York (1827), African Americans in Westbury formed their own free black community, called Guinea Woods, in an area of what is now known as Old Westbury. I also found evidence to show how, a few years after the Civil War, these African Americans had established another community called Grantville, which was located in and around Union Avenue, all of which was part of Westbury at that time.
I continued to document the presence of Westbury's African American citizens through the "Jim Crow" era and up to the 1930s when the Village of Westbury eventually became incorporated. This historical research gave me the backdrop as well as some of the specific information about key people, events and places in Westbury's history, black and white, that led to the development of the "Garnet House." After uncovering this information, I concluded that this approach was the right one. For out of searching for the African American communities of Westbury's past, I found evidence that the Garnet House was more than an idea. It was a reality.
The Garnet House
I first found the Garnet House on a 1914 map of Westbury. It was located in Grantville on the corner of Union and Grant Street, the street that marked the name of this historic black community. The women who organized the Afro American Union had begun solidifying their plans to develop the Fresh Air Home in 1892, when they purchased land from Mr. Charles Levi, a prominent African American resident of Westbury. Levi was a farmer, businessman, landowner, manager of the Hick's Coal Yard and a descendant of one of Westbury's most high achieving families.
In a good will gesture or perhaps to show support for the women's cause, Mr. Levi donated some of the land to the Afro American Union for the building of the Fresh Air Home. By September 1895, newspapers carried the story announcing the groundbreaking ceremony and the laying of the cornerstone of the Fresh Air Home. In addition to the funds they raised among their over three hundred members, the women also took out a mortgage and completed the payment with "a jubilee reception and mortgage burning" ceremony in 1902.
After locating the house on various maps, my next goal was to see if I could find any photographs of it. The archives at the Historical Society proved to be an invaluable resource. Working with the librarian, I found the first photo of the house. It was among a large collection of photos marked "Westbury Small Houses" and it had been donated by a former resident of Westbury. The very brief notation on the back of the photo noted: "A vacation home for Negroes."
Since that time, other photos have emerged from subsequent owners of the house and from descendants of the original Grantville residents who came forward to talk with me after one of the PowerPoint presentations I made (in 2007 and 2008) at the Westbury Memorial Public Library. In addition, a local Scout Master and avid Westbury history buff downloaded an image of the house that appeared on Ebay – he did this precisely because it was identified as a house in Westbury, even though he could not identify it. He subsequently learned of its identity from my research and gave me a copy of that image.
The "Garnet House," locally known as the Fresh Air Home, remained in operation up to 1954. It was then sold to a prominent local resident whose family has been very helpful in providing me with useful information. The house passed through a number of subsequent owners and tenants including the Mother Goose Nursery School, the Westbury Day Care Center, the North Shore Child Guidance Center, a dentist office and finally it became an overcrowded boarding house.
The old cornerstone of the "Garnet House" and the records of the Afro American Union have never been located. However, former residents of Grantville who agreed to be interviewed provided their recollections of the building to give insight into what it was like to be a part of this community.
The house was described as very beautiful by Grantville community members. According to architects, with whom I have consulted, it appeared to be a simplified "Folk Victoria" style house. One former Grantville resident remembered entering the house when she was a child. She said it had a large front porch and swings in the yard for families to use. The elegant dining and living rooms were located downstairs, the bedrooms were upstairs. The house had 11 rooms in all.
I was told that the house was managed by two women who came out each spring to open up the house and get it ready for the fresh air vacationers from the city. Another Westbury resident remembered seeing the women as they came off the train at Westbury Station of the Long Island Rail Road and made their way down to the Garnet House. These female vacationers were seen wearing white airy dresses and appeared to be happy to come to Westbury for their holiday in the countryside – right up to the 1950s Westbury still maintained some vestiges of its former farm identity.
By 2002, the "Garnet House" was demolished in order to erect the Apex I affordable housing complex established by the Kimmel Foundation. Today the Apex I building is located where the Garnet House once stood. With no fanfare or historical marker to commemorate this lost 117-year-old African American institution, the "Garnet House" became a footnote in Westbury's history, until my journey to find it brought it forth.
The Aftermath of the House & Its History
Since I started my research on the Garnet House, I have had many opportunities to share it with the Historical Society of the Westburys and others. This year, I also plan to reach more people with the story and perhaps win the house and its organizers some recognition and visibility. Recently, I noted that the walking tour for Westbury now includes most of the African American sites I detailed in my analysis and presentations to the Westbury Historical Society in 2007 and 2008. Westbury's hidden history is gradually being revealed.
