Venue Details
Shirin Ebadi, Ph.D., has not only been a powerful voice for the reformist movement in the Middle East, but also a champion for human rights and democracy. She served as Iran's first female judge until 1979, when religious authorities deemed women unfit to serve in such positions and demoted her to a court clerk.
Ebadi battled the oppressive regime by establishing an independent law practice and took on challenging cases that often resulted in political and professional persecution. For her relentless pursuit against political injustice and discrimination, Ebadi was arrested several times and endured an assassination attempt on her life.
In 2003, Ebadi became the first Iranian woman and the first Muslim woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. She still remains deeply committed to representing the oppressed and underserved and will share her vision of democracy for the Islamic world.

Whether it hastened his dismissal is debatable.
Whether it hindered forward progress is not.
In succeeding Tom Craft as San Diego State's football coach in 2005, Chuck Long, much to his chagrin, quickly discovered that his predecessor hadn't left the larder overly laden.
If there was one area where Craft left Long in the lurch it was across the offensive front, where the Aztecs had nary a single lineman in their sophomore class.
SDSU won't have one in its recruiting class of 2009, either.
Not that Aztecs coach Brady Hoke is terribly troubled by the notion.
If Long failed to win enough games to satisfy the suits, he nonetheless collected offensive linemen in bunches, signing nearly 20 during his three-year tenure.
"We've got 17 offensive linemen in the program and have brought 13 of them under scholarship in the past two years," said Hoke, who introduced his first recruiting class during national signing day yesterday. "One thing with offensive linemen, because of the uniqueness of the position, is that you've got to know what you're getting when you recruit an offensive lineman. If they can't play offensive line for you, they can't play any other position. It's not like a defensive lineman moving over to play on offense.
"We just didn't feel like we found anybody that was exactly what we wanted."
Of the 17 offensive linemen on the roster last season, no fewer than 10 were either true or redshirt freshmen, including Mike Matamua, who was scheduled to start at right tackle before suffering a broken leg before the season opener. Another freshman, center Tommie Draheim, also was penciled in to start before being redshirted because of a shoulder injury suffered before fall camp.
Whether Long's staff keenly did their homework or simply were trying to increase the numbers at a position of weakness remains to be seen. The Aztecs return three starting offensive linemen in senior center Trask Iosefa, senior left tackle Peter Nelson and senior right guard Ikaika Aken-Moleta. Among the youngsters, only two – sophomore guard Emilio Rivera and sophomore tackle Kurtis Gunther – made starts last year.

More is more at Feralmade Gallery, where the directors are serious about cranking out shows. The Northside gallery has been up and running for nearly eight months now, and the young directors have five exhibits under their belts.
This summer Grubbs spent many a muggy day in the gallery with his Boston Terrier, Braque, running at his heels. As one of original directors, Grubbs -- along with Josh Mattie, Scott Fitzpatrick, Laura Sjogren and Randy Glandorf -- opened the gallery almost by accident.
Their impetus was to run a print shop. So they purchased affordable printing equipment at flea markets and rummage sales and rented a space in the basement of the Northside Chop Shop. That's where they began pressing T-shirts and designing posters with the goal of serving Northside businesses and artists.
The Chop Shop gave them the boot, but it turned out to be a fruitful eviction.
"When we got kicked out our business plan had to change," Grubbs says, explaining that the unit right next door was vacant. "We were given three times the amount of space and a store front."
They moved the print shop into their new basement at 4573 Hamilton Ave.
And with a spacious store front on the first floor, it seemed only natural to open a gallery.
Feralmade's inaugural exhibition, Groundhog Day, opened appropriately on Feb. 4 and featured works by Dasha Gilliss, Jason Brunson and Scribe/D. Ross. Framed artwork synthesized beautifully with large wall murals. Images of dangling silverfish, puffy creatures and pixilated clouds transformed the environment of the gallery into something otherworldly.
The works of Michael Kellner, Aaron Oliver Wood, Arcane and Chris Gliebe arrived this summer. Each artist brought a fresh face to Feralmade but shared similar motifs. Alien robots, dysfunctional machines and playful caricatures appeared time and again in the gallery.
The small stretch of sidewalk on the 4500 block of Hamilton Avenue has become an eclectic business district. Glandorf calls it the "Comet Strip Mall" with Feralmade, Northside Chop Shop, Avante Garage and The Comet lined up side-by-side.
In August, Sjogren and Mattie left the operation to focus on their solo work. The remaining core members added Jack Boberg to the partnership, and he designed the gallery Web site (www.feralmade.com). There's been some concern about keeping the momentum going.
If the last seven months are any trend, the directors need not worry. The exhibits have been energizing and youthful up to this point. Likewise, the directors are energized and seem to be living up to their motto: "Never not workin."
Whether by accident or intent, Feralmade is building a niche as a graphic arts and illustration venue. Adding to all that the directors will tell you that feeling successful hinges upon keeping the print shop alive.
"As far as projects, we are just trying to get back in the print shop," Grubbs says. "Feralmade started out as a screen printing shop, but that got put to the back of the line to rehab our new space and gallery."
In the coming months perhaps the guys will power the printing press back up. Either way it appears the gallery will keep on chugging.
Their fifth exhibit, More Happy Than Sad, runs through Oct. 12. Artists Rob Warnick, Chris Dye and Keith Neltner take a sarcastic approach to describing the joint exhibit, saying in their joint artists statement, "When three dogmatic artistic minds come together, the results could be disastrous, or beautiful."
The same could be said for Feralmade in general.
In December, look for works by Chris Semer and Jeremy Nichols. ©
Q: What's the coolest thing about you?
Trevor Grubbs: "I have gnarley friends."
Q: What's the coolest thing about Northside?
Grubbs: "Not knowing what to expect when entering the UDF on Chase. The support system and the pride of community in Northside is the coolest thing. The people on the front line -- business owners, community activists and families -- have all invested everything in this community."
Q: Which cool Cincinnatian influences you?
Grubbs: "I think Charley Harper is pretty awesome. Cincinnati lost a great artist this summer."

Elmont woman killed on LIRR tracks
Engineer says woman stood in front of train in apparent suicide
A 53-year-old Elmont woman was killed last Sunday afternoon in an apparent suicide at the New Hyde Park Long Island Rail Road station.
Salvatore Arena, an LIRR spokesman, told the Herald that the train engineer said he saw the woman walk around the crossing gate and stand facing the oncoming train at 3:25 p.m. Arena also said that a witness corroborated the engineer's account.
The woman's body, which had not been positively identified at press time, pending the results of an autopsy and a review of dental records, was found on the westbound tracks, approximately 100 feet west of the at-grade crossing near the intersection of South Sixth Street and Second Avenue. Nassau County police closed the Covert Avenue crossing, and service was suspended in both directions between Mineola and Jamaica until 4:45 p.m., when one track was returned to service. Full service was not restored until approximately 6:30 p.m. The incident caused 30 delays, according to Aerna.
The woman's vehicle was found in a parking space on Second Avenue, near the crossing.
The Nassau County Police Department had no comment, as is its policy in cases of apparent suicide.

The $28 minimum wage: one year on
It's been a year of swings and roundabouts for Hong Kong's lowest paid industries. Shirley Zhao looks at how the city's security guards, cleaners and restaurant staff have coped
It will have been a year since the implementation of the minimum wage law on May 1. Over that time, much of what economists had predicted, such as higher unemployment rates, did not happen. In fact, the unemployment rate remains just over three percent one year on, which equates as one of the lowest levels in the past 13 years. Yet other predictions such as higher inflation did occur – and that's believed to be more or less related to the minimum wage. This is why many people are now asking if $28 is too low for workers to cope. Many workers' unions, in fact, are suggesting an increase to between $33 and $35. And the debate will rage on for some time yet…
Concerns about unemployment and inflation are normal in Hong Kong, yet the real impact of the minimum wage has clearly affected the city's lowest paid industries.
According to a recent study by the Census and Statistics Department, under the minimum wage law, in May and June last year, the median monthly salary of the lowest paid industries saw an 18 percent raise. Among these industries, the median monthly salary of property management, security and cleaning was $8,700, amounting to a 25 percent increase. The median monthly salary of the food and drinks industry was $9,000, a 12.5 percent increase.
Meanwhile, inflation has been steadily rising. The inflation rate last year was 5.3 percent, compared to 1.7 percent in 2010. The inflation rate in May last year was 5.2 percent, a 13 percent hike from last April. Taking this increase into account, the salary rise to $28 per hour suddenly becomes much less impressive, especially when the highest inflation rate was recorded in the last quarter of 2011, reaching 6.4 percent.
From these statistics, industries like property management, security and cleaning look apparently better off. "It is highly competitive in the security industry these days," says Yu Mei-wan, a 56-year-old who has been a security guard for more than 10 years. "Even young people are looking to be a security guard. Many high-end shopping malls only hire Form 5 graduates as their security guards." Yu, who works for Fu Heng Shopping Centre in Tai Po, earns $7,500 a month. She works 8.5 hours a day and has four to five paid holidays a month, which makes her hourly wage around $29. Before the minimum wage law, she earned less than $6,000 a month, or around $23 per hour.
Yet Yu feels life was easier when she was earning less. "Although my salary is higher, the prices have also been rising even more," she says. "The $28 minimum wage standard was calculated according to the prices in 2009. It's completely out of date." Yu supports a 'reconsideration' on the minimum wage standard and thinks $33 to $35 per hour is sufficient enough for her family to survive. Her 60-year-old husband will retire in July this year, and she will be the only one supporting her three-member family.
"I'm worried about the future," she says. Unemployment is certainly not included in her vision of the future, despite concerns that the unemployment rate might rise if there is a hike in the minimum wage threshold. "Everybody knows you can find a job in this industry, thanks to the developers – although they are the ones who also make everything expensive," says Yu. "Old security guards can work for single buildings, while younger guards can work for malls and larger estates. They [the developers] just keep hiring people because now every building needs security guards."
Lee Lok Ting, executive secretary of the Hong Kong Buildings Management and Security Workers General Union, says employers have their own methods of coping with the increasing payment. "For old, single buildings, the employers tend to cut the working hours of the security guards," he tells Time Out. "While for buildings aimed at the middle classes, they tend to raise the property management fee."
In the food and drinks industry the minimum wage law has made employers of small and medium restaurants less competitive against the larger restaurant chains, according to Simon Wong Ka-wo, chairman of the Hong Kong Food Council. "People tend to choose large restaurant corporations for better welfare since the salary is more or less the same," says Wong. "At the same time, more manpower is going to the security and retail industries, so smaller restaurants find it very hard to hire people."
If smaller restaurants do not have enough staff, the quality of food and service will eventually suffer. To hire more staff, they need to raise the salary higher than the minimum wage standard which, mixed with rising rent, could force them to raise the prices of their products to cover the cost. For restaurants, higher prices could further weaken their competitiveness. "They [the smaller restaurants] are thrown into a dilemma," says Wong.
Although Wong admits that rising rent, the appreciation of the yuan and a 'murky' economic environment are the major causes of rising prices, he still believes the minimum wage law 'indirectly caused higher inflation' and imposed pressure on small and medium companies.
"I'm definitely against an increase in the minimum wage [right now]," says Wong. "I think a revision of the minimum wage standard every two years is more reasonable."
Wong Pit-man, general secretary of the Eating Establishment Employees General Union, tells Time Out how the smaller restaurants deal with the dilemma. "Many of them cut staff and make the rest do more work in shorter working hours," he says. "It's also common practice for a restaurant to close a few months after it opens, and then re-open again in another place. It makes them easier to operate because the previous accounting records can be cancelled and they can start new records again."
The cleaning industry, dominated by outsourcing companies, is a different story. Mickey Yan Wai-kiu, managing director of Li Hing Cleaning Services, complains that since the implementation of the minimum wage law, his company has suffered a sharp 70 percent decrease in profit. "You need to offer relatively low prices to your clients to get contracts, and you need to offer relatively high wages to employees to keep them," says Yan. "You can't fire a lot of staff because you need enough people to do so much work. The workers have more choices too. Many of them choose to be security guards. It's really difficult."
Yan says increasing the minimum wage to $33 an hour would mean that his 1,500-strong company pays an additional $10 to each employee per hour – which amounts to more than HK$3 million every month – and that his firm has to subsidise the bulk of the extra cost because many of its private sector contracts were signed before the minimum wage raise.
The workers, however, often find their workload is much heavier.
Chau Kam-sheung, a new immigrant earning $7,280 a month for cleaning, needs to support her four-member family with her husband, who is a security guard. "Life gets more and more difficult these days," says Chau. "We need to spend a lot for our children's education and the prices are so high everywhere. We're not saving any money; we are just surviving." Chau has a 19-year-old son and a 17-year-old daughter. She wants to see an increase in the minimum wage but feels it will help very little, given that prices will keep on rising.
Chau works eight hours a day but says she has a heavier workload now because her company has cut cleaners for each contract so that it can pay more for the rest – but the workload remains the same.
"I don't know where the cleaners [who were cut from the contracts] went," she says. "When you can gain about the same everywhere, who wants to do cleaning?"

药物信息为PHOTOFRIN (porfimer sodium) for Injection (Axcan Scandipharm Inc.): DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
- Description
- Clinical Studies
- 外部链接相关的PHOTOFRIN (porfimer sodium) for Injection (Axcan Scandipharm Inc.)
Photodynamic therapy with PHOTOFRIN® is a two-stage process requiring administration of both drug and light. The first stage of PDT is the intravenous injection of PHOTOFRIN® at 2 mg/kg. Illumination with laser light 40−50 hours following injection with PHOTOFRIN® constitutes the second stage of therapy. A second laser light application may be given 96-120 hours after injection, preceded by gentle debridement of residual tumor (see Administration of Laser Light). In clinical studies on esophageal and endobronchial cancers, debridement via endoscopy was required 2-3 days after the initial light application. Standard endoscopic techniques are used for light administration and debridement. Practitioners should be fully familiar with the patient's condition and trained in the safe and efficacious treatment of esophageal or endobronchial cancer, or high-grade dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus using photodynamic therapy with PHOTOFRIN® and associated light delivery devices.
For the treatment of esophageal and endobronchial cancer, patients may receive a second course of PDT a minimum of 30 days after the initial therapy; up to three courses of PDT (each separated by a minimum of 30 days) can be given. Before each course of treatment, patients with esophageal cancer should be evaluated for the presence of a tracheoesophageal or bronchoesophageal fistula (see CONTRAINDICATIONS). In patients with endobronchial lesions who have recently undergone radiotherapy, sufficient time (approximately 4 weeks) should be allowed between the therapies to ensure that the acute inflammation produced by radiotherapy has subsided prior to PDT (see PRECAUTIONS, Use Before or After Radiotherapy). All patients should be evaluated for the possibility that the tumor may be eroding into a major blood vessel (see CONTRAINDICATIONS).
For the ablation of high-grade dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus, patients may receive an additional course of PDT at a minimum of 90 days after the initial therapy; up to three courses of PDT (each injection separated by a minimum of 90 days) can be given to a previously treated segment which still shows high-grade dysplasia, low-grade dysplasia, or Barrett's metaplasia, or to a new segment if the initial Barrett's segment was >7 cm in length. Both residual and additional segments may be treated in the same light session(s) provided that the total length of the segments treated with the balloon/diffuser combination is not greater than 7 cm. In the case of a previously treated esophageal segment, if it has not sufficiently healed and/or histological assessment of biopsies is not clear, the subsequent course of PDT may be delayed for an additional 1-2 months.
PHOTOFRIN® Administration
PHOTOFRIN® should be administered as a single slow intravenous injection over 3 to 5 minutes at 2 mg/kg body weight. Reconstitute each vial of PHOTOFRIN® with 31.8 mL of either 5% Dextrose Injection (USP) or 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection (USP), resulting in a final concentration of 2.5 mg/mL. Shake well until dissolved. Do not mix PHOTOFRIN® with other drugs in the same solution. PHOTOFRIN®, reconstituted with 5% Dextrose Injection (USP) or with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection (USP), has a pH in the range of 7 to 8. PHOTOFRIN® has been formulated with an overage to deliver the 75 mg labeled quantity. The reconstituted product should be protected from bright light and used immediately. Reconstituted PHOTOFRIN® is an opaque solution, in which detection of particulate matter by visual inspection is extremely difficult. Reconstituted PHOTOFRIN®, however, like all parenteral drug products, should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration whenever solution and container permit.
Precautions should be taken to prevent extravasation at the injection site. If extravasation occurs, care must be taken to protect the area from light. There is no known benefit from injecting the extravasation site with another substance.
Administration of Laser Light
Esophageal and Endobronchial Cancer
Initiate 630 nm wavelength laser light delivery to the patient 40−50 hours following injection with PHOTOFRIN®. A second laser light treatment may be given as early as 96 hours or as late as 120 hours after the initial injection with PHOTOFRIN®. No further injection of PHOTOFRIN® should be given for such retreatment with laser light. Before providing a second laser light treatment, the residual tumor should be debrided. Vigorous debridement may cause tumor bleeding. For endobronchial tumors, debridement of necrotic tissue should be discontinued when the volume of bleeding increases, as this may indicate that debridement has gone beyond the zone of the PDT treatment effect.
The laser system must be approved for delivery of a stable power output at a wavelength of 630 ± 3 nm. Light is delivered to the tumor by cylindrical OPTIGUIDE™ fiber optic diffusers passed through the operating channel of an endoscope/bronchoscope. Instructions for use of the fiber optic and the selected laser system should be read carefully before use. OPTIGUIDE™ cylindrical diffusers are available in several lengths. The choice of diffuser tip length depends on the length of the tumor. Diffuser length should be sized to avoid exposure of nonmalignant tissue to light and to prevent overlapping of previously treated malignant tissue.
Photoactivation of PHOTOFRIN® is controlled by the total light dose delivered:
- In the treatment of esophageal cancer, a light dose of 300 J/cm of diffuser length should be delivered. The total power output at the fiber tip is set to deliver the appropriate light dose using exposure times of 12 minutes and 30 seconds.
- In the treatment of endobronchial cancer, the light dose should be 200 J/cm of diffuser length. The total power output at the fiber tip is set to deliver the appropriate light dose using exposure times of 8 minutes and 20 seconds. For noncircumferential endobronchial tumors that are soft enough to penetrate, interstitial fiber placement is preferred to intraluminal activation, since this method produces better efficacy and results in less exposure of the normal bronchial mucosa to light. It is important to perform a debridement 2 to 3 days after each light administration to minimize the potential for obstruction caused by necrotic debris (see PRECAUTIONS).
Refer to the OPTIGUIDE™ instructions for use for complete instructions concerning the fiber optic diffuser.
High-Grade Dysplasia (HGD) in Barrett's Esophagus (BE)
Approximately 40-50 hours after PHOTOFRIN® administration light should be delivered by a X-Cell Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) Balloon with Fiber Optic Diffuser. The choice of fiber optic/balloon diffuser combination will depend on the length of Barrett's mucosa to be treated (Table 11).
TABLE 11. Fiber Optic Diffuser/Balloon CombinationWhenever possible, the BE segment selected for treatment should include normal tissue margins of a few millimeters at the proximal and distal ends. Treated Barrett's Mucosa Length (cm) Fiber Optic Diffuser Size (cm) Balloon Window Size (cm) 6-7 9 7 4-5 7 5 1-3 5 3
Light Doses: Photoactivation is controlled by the total light dose delivered. The objective is to expose and treat all areas of HGD and the entire length of BE. The light dose administered will be 130 J/cm of diffuser length using a centering balloon. Based on the pivotal clinical study, acceptable light intensity for the balloon/diffuser combinations range from 200-270 mW/cm of diffuser.
To calculate the light dose, the following specific light dosimetry equation applies for all fiber optic diffusers:
Table 12 provides the settings that will be used to deliver the dose within the shortest time (light intensity of 270 mW/cm). A second option (light intensity of 200 mW/cm) has also been included where necessary to accommodate lasers with a total capacity that does not exceed 2.5 W.

Short fiber diffusers (≤ 2.5 cm) are to be used to pretreat nodules with 50 J/cm of diffuser length prior to regular balloon treatment in the first laser light session or for the treatment of "skip" areas (i.e., an area that does not show sufficient mucosal response) after the first light session. For this treatment, the fiber optic diffuser is used without a centering balloon, and a light intensity of 400 mW/cm should be used. For nodule pre-treatment and treatment of skipped areas, care should be taken to minimize exposure to normal tissue as it is also sensitized. Table 13 lists appropriate fiber optic power outputs and treatment times using a light intensity of 400 mW/cm.

A maximum of 7 cm of esophageal mucosa is treated at the first light session using an appropriate size of centering balloon and fiber optic diffuser (Table 11). Whenever possible, the segment selected for the first light application should contain all the areas of HGD. Also, whenever possible, the Barrett's esophagus (BE) segment selected for the first light application should include normal tissue margin of a few millimeters at the proximal and distal ends.
Nodules are to be pretreated at a light dose of 50 J/cm of diffuser length with a short (≤ 2.5 cm) fiber optic diffuser placed directly against the nodule followed by standard balloon application as described above.
Repeat Light Application
A second laser light application may be given to a previously treated segment that shows a "skip" area, using a short, ≤ 2.5 cm fiber optic diffuser at the light dose of 50 J/cm of the diffuser length. Patients with BE >7 cm, should have the remaining untreated length of Barrett's epithelium treated with a second PDT course at least 90 days later.
The treatment regimen is summarized in Table 14.

Jane E. Ryan's "The Boarder," starring Andy Scott Harris, Leslie Stevens, Carlton Wilborn and Dee Wallace, opens the lid on the realities of living with children traumatized in early life.
The Boarder is a heartbreaking story about Carl (Andy Scott Harris, 'House'), a homeless boy with a sketchy past, who is taken in by a loving pastor Zeb Williams (Carlton Wilborn, 'The Mentalist') and his beautiful wife Annika Williams (Leslie Stevens, 'Private Practice') and Dee Wallace, ET, as Elizabeth. Inspired by true-life events, this is the sobering story of the Williams family and their process of coping with an adopted child suffering from an unknown malady, Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD).
The Boarder is set in a middle class suburb. A loving and determined mother Annika left a career in dancing to care full-time for her children, Jarren (Patrick J. Nicholas) and Lexi (Mckenzie Clayton). But life has more in store for her when her husband, Pastor Zeb, introduces her to Carl who he wants to save from a chaotic life on the streets by adopting him. Annika soon realizes that Carl is emotionally unstable, along with altercations with the police and his sneaky behaviors, the boy almost destroys her family and even drives her to question her own sanity.
Will God guide her through? Will Annika ever reconnect with her family or feel right again? Is there any chance left for Carl to become part of a real family?
The eye-opening story is directed by Jolene Adams and written by Jane E. Ryan. This film is the first of its kind to tackle a fairly common issue resulting from trauma in early childhood, Reactive Attachment Disorder. The Boarder is inspired by Jane E. Ryan's own personal experiences and from other real families across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom whose children suffer from this unexpected and sometimes dangerous disorder. Reactive Attachment Disorder is usually caused by trauma that can include significant interruptions in relationship with mother, neglect and/or abuse from many sources. The disorder occurs in degrees, from mild to its most severe form, RAD.

Thank you Kristin Nelson for your informative blog, Pub Rants
and your monthly newsletter. From today's newletter:
WHAT'S HOT by Kristin Nelson:
"If you write for the adult market, you might want to consider if your voice and talent will work for the children's market. Seriously. With the announcement at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt that they are suspending acquisitions, there's a lot of volatility in the adult book trade market."However, the children's realm is holding steady (although, according to the children's booksellers, the shelves are getting a little crowded). What do editors want? Every single editor I talked to would love to see a middle grade fiction project. And if it's something that will appeal to boys, well, that's one hot ticket.

Introducing Governor Romney, Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of CEA, remarked, "If we tasked headhunters with selecting a president based on relevant management and government experience, financial and budgeting acumen, leadership and integrity, they would identify Mitt as a top candidate. Mitt has a vision and a passion for the nation. And it revolves around excellence, innovation, technology and tapping into what makes us great as Americans."
Romney repeatedly spoke to the need for an economic and governmental climate that supports and promotes innovation. If elected president, Romney stated, he would make important changes to grow America's innovation economy including changing government regulation to encourage risk, opening markets for American goods abroad, and improving immigration policies so that foreign-born, American-educated individuals can stay in America and contribute to the U.S. economy.
"Governor Romney's vision for American competitiveness and a culture of innovation reflect that of CEA's own Innovation Movement," said Shapiro. To join CEA's Innovation Movement for free, visit DeclareInnovation.com. "Technology and innovation, and their role in spurring the nation's economic growth, will be important issues in the 2012 presidential election, and today we heard from one candidate who understands what entrepreneurs and businesses need."
NVTC and CEA have extended invitations to all of the presidential candidates to address the region's technology community as part of the Presidential Series. For more information about the series, visit nvtc.org.
The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) is the preeminent trade association promoting growth in the $195 billion U.S. consumer electronics industry.

|Ugh... iPhone photos. :(
This is a size 36, sewn with 3/8" seams rather than the 5/8" called for. I prefer 3/8" on knits, and I was between sizes so this gave me the extra room I needed. I do wish the sleeves were a little bit more fitted, so I think I'll try either altering the pattern to fit the sleeves from my beloved Jalie 2921, or sewing with the intended 5/8" SA for a closer fit. I also definitely need a forward shoulder adjustment on this... the shoulder seam moves back a good 1/2-3/4" while I'm wearing it.
As for future versions, I'm definitely making one with this fox print from Girl Charlee:
I've also got a sweater knit & chiffon combo idea, and a white tee with some fabric paint embellishment. Anyone else making a Plantain?
Fabric: Rayon/poly knit (I think) from Fabric.com
Pattern: Plantain t-shirt from Deer & Doe
Mods: 3/8" SA

Dean McDermott has entered rehab.
"I am truly sorry for the mistakes I have made and for the pain I've caused my family," he tellsPeople
in a statement. "I take full responsibility for my actions and have
voluntarily checked myself into a treatment center to address some
health and personal issues. I am grateful to be getting the help I need
so I can become the husband and father my family deserves."
The exact nature of McDermott's rehab was not given, but the Chopped Canada host and wife Tori Spelling have been plagued with rumors of McDermott's infidelity since the holidays. People reports
that the 47-year-old is receiving "intense treatment," but is allowed
to leave to visit his and Spelling's four children at their house. The
couple, married since 2006, are parents to Liam, 6, Stella, 5, Hattie, 2, and Finn, 15 months.

Lake Conner - Fishing Opportunities
Largemouth bass
For years, largemouth bass in Lake Conner were overabundant, but DGIF changed the regulation to a 16-22 inch protected slot limit. This limit was designed to increase harvest on younger largemouth bass to maintain good growth rates. Additionally, this limit would protect adult largemouth bass until they reached trophy or citation size. Sampling indicates that the regulation has accomplished its objective. The abundance of largemouth bass below the slot limit (less than 16 inches) has been slightly reduced and the number of trophy fish in the lake appears to be relatively high. Biologists will continue to monitor this new trophy regulation to assure that it is meeting the objectives of the fishery.
Bluegill, redear sunfish, and crappie in Lake Conner are similar to other southside lakes. Bluegill and redear sunfish are abundant and redear's tend to be larger. Anglers can expect to catch bluegill up to 8 inches and redear up to 11 inches. Beginning in late April, anglers should be able to catch a lot of fish as they begin to move shallow to spawn. Live bait such as crickets and worms work great on panfish but fly anglers can also be successful throwing popping bugs. Crappie are also fairly abundant in the lake but fish rarely exceed 11 inches. Yellow perch rarely exceed 10 inches.
There is a limited catfish fishery at Lake Conner even though it is stocked every other year. However, lake Conner has an excellent bullhead fishery with many 2-3 pound fish.

With filming now well underway and a few glossy images appearing in a recent issue of EW, one would think that the cast has been pretty much nailed down for Quentin Tarantino's latest, "Django Unchained." But that appears not to be the case with Kurt Russell joining the ever-growing list of actors to have left the project. The Playlist have confirmed with the reps for the actor that Russell has indeed left the film though no reason has been given. According to the (only occasionally reliable) IMDB boards (via The Film Stage) the actor was "unhappy with his role" and left the set because the film wasn't "western enough." Seems unlikely that an actor as professional as Russell would storm off the set of a director he'd previously worked with, but whatever the case it's certainly a loss for his fan base, which should be, uh, everyone who grew up in the '80s.
As we mentioned, Russell isn't the first actor to have left the project, as scheduling and other woes have already seen Joseph Gordon Levitt, Jonah Hill, Sacha Baron Cohen and Kevin Costner (who had originally been earmarked for Russell's part) have all come and gone. This means that the role of Ace Woody, the mandingo trainer that serves as villain Calvin Candie (DiCaprio)'s right hand man, still needs to be filled. We'd originally thought of Josh Brolin, but AICN suggests that he won't be replaced at all, instead the role will be cut and the part absorbed by Walton Goggins' character Billy Crash. Not a bad idea to cut down some of the characters in the sprawling script but we should know for certain soon enough. The cast members who have been locked in for Tarantino's slavery epic are Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz, Kerry Washington, James Remar, Don Johnson, John Jarratt, RZA and Walton Goggins among others.
"Django Unchained" is scheduled to hit theaters Christmas day.

A Year in the Life: TEC Blog
February 2010: Last Two Weeks of School
Unbelievable! We have two weeks left of class and everything is falling into place. Interviews started last week for the occasional teachers list for the Waterloo Region District School Board and classmates have been sneaking out of class, not so inconspicuously, wearing suits and grinning nervously. School projects are coming to a climax and tapering off right before March break, when we all start planning furiously for our 6-week practicums.
This week is no less momentous as the Junior/Intermediate students are being placed in high schools and the Primary/Junior students are shadowing at different elementary schools. I, for one, am grateful for this high school experience as Im hoping it will make my grade 8 class, whom I m spending my last practicum with, seem like little kids. Actually, thats not too hard to do as there are still boys who have barely cracked the 5-foot mark.
I went trolling The Dollar Store this weekend looking for props for my integers unit and came home with a lot of pens and some fake money. Didnt find exactly what I was looking for, but still managed to spend more money than I was planning on.
Its hard to believe that a mere 6 months ago we were all just starting out on this journey. I can still remember my first lesson. I had no idea how to plan at that stage and it was a disaster. I wanted to teach the students everything I knew in one lesson; I stood at the front and spewed forth my wisdom. Now, I understand that the best learning comes when the lesson has one strong focus and the students are actively engaged, not passive recipients.
My second practicum was much better than my first, in terms of my teaching ability. However, I was finishing up projects on Sunday night and starting teaching on Monday morning, so my planning was not quite what I wanted it to be. Going into practicum three, I will have a whole week to prepare and already, Ive been dreaming about fun activities and performance tasks to do with my classes. Who says integers cant be fun? Not me!
On a personal note, I am also still amazed at the amount of planning teachers do on a daily basis. I honestly think people in the business world would be shocked at the day-to-day planning involved in teaching. I am embarrassed to say that even I was clueless to the fact that teachers prepare all of their own lessons and units and my sister is a teacher! As a new teacher, this is definitely the most difficult part of the job for me, that is. I love the actual teaching part. Actually, I love coming up with cool lessons too, it just takes a little longer to master teaching from the curriculum.
In contrast, work days in the corporate world were quite a bit longer, but much less intense because you had a lot more "me" time time sitting at your computer checking email, going for coffee, or chit-chatting to cube mates. They were also much less personally rewarding, which is why I am here at school. However, I do think there are some lessons to be learned from the corporate world; they are great at sharing resources and working in teams. Dont get me wrong, the school Im at does an amazing job of group planning, however, there are 155,000 teachers in Ontario, all working off of the same curriculum. Why, oh why, do we not do a better job of sharing resources and lessons? I have heard that some boards are better than others for this, but in this digital age there really is no excuse for not being more systematic about it.
Obviously, part of the problem is a lack of technology at the schools. Teachers just dont have enough projectors and Smart Boards to go around, meaning that most lessons are not digital, and therefore, not easily shared. Hopefully in the next 10 years someone (Minister of Education?) will find some money to make this a priority. Hmm, Im got more political than I was planning. I dont think you can talk about education without talking politics, can you?

Dear Tammy - THANK YOU for your blogs this year! As a hopeful, prospective TEC I have to say that you've covered just about any topic that we applicants could have wondered about! I've been following since August - it's helped to keep me both excited and realistic. (...and very glad to hear there are so many of us 'mature' students on the same journey.) Thanks for your humour and for 'shooting straight from the hip'!
2 Tammy G - 5 May 2010
Thanks Victoria. It's been a cathartic process for me. I always worry that I don't censor myself enough, but a little too late for that now, isn't it?! lol Best of luck to you!

Last Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug administration proposed a major new rule that could upend recent Supreme Court decisions limiting the liability of generic-drug manufacturers. The rule would eliminate current prohibitions that prevent generic-drug makers from revising safety information until the brand-name counterpart has received agency approval for similar changes. Under the proposed regime, generic-drug makers could unilaterally update product labels with newly discovered drug safety information without waiting for the brand-name counterpart to take action. The new rule could have a profound effect on SCOTUS' decisions in Pliva Inc. v. Mensing and Wyeth v. Levine and potentially increase failure-to-warn risks for generic-drug makers.
Let's start with a quick recap. In Mensing, the Supremes held that federal law requiring generic labels to match brand-name products prohibits unilateral revision of those labels. Mensing thus shielded generics makers from failure-to-warn suits because they cannot control the safety information they provide. In Wyeth, by contrast, SCOTUS held that federal law does not preempt a state law failure-to-warn claim that a brand name drug's labeling did not contain an adequate warning because it was not impossible for the manufacturer to comply with both federal and state requirements. And from a regulatory perspective, under the current regime, generic-drug makers who wish to update drug labeling when new safety information becomes available must first notify the FDA and the brand-name manufacturer and wait until the brand name label change has been approved.
All this could change under the new rule, which proposes allowing generic-drug makers to independently revise drug labels by submitting a "changes being effected" (CBE) supplement, to FDA for review. (The rule also would require the generic-drug maker to provide a copy of the CBE to the brand-name drug maker.) Upon receiving a CBE from a generic-drug maker, the FDA would examine the proposed update and issue a decision applying to both the generic- and brand-name forms of the drug to ensure that both forms of the products have identical FDA-approved prescribing information. And to improve transparency, the rule would require FDA to promptly post information regarding the proposed labeling changes on FDA's website, to which members of the public could subscribe to receive updates.
The takeaway here is that the new rule would likely eliminate preemption of failure-to-warn claims against generics makers, and thus increase liability exposure of generic-drug makers for not timely or sufficiently updating drug label warnings.. From a policy standpoint, the proposed rule would place the onus on generic drug companies to become more actively engaged in ensuring that drug safety information is accurate and up to date.
It goes without saying that the rule is likely to spark a lively debate and elicit comments from industry and consumer groups, not the least because FDA has proposed this new rule after receiving a petition from a public interest group to revise current regulations in response to Mensing. A notice of the proposed rule will be published in the Federal Register on Nov. 13, and interested parties will have 60 days to weigh in. We'll keep you posted about developments.

Accused child pornographer, PFC. NASSER JASON ABDO who went AWOL, was busted with bomb-making materials near Fort Hood, Feds revealed.
Abdo faces federal charges after the FBI recovered guns and "bomb-making components, including gunpowder" in his room near the base.
Abdo, a practicing Muslim who comes from Texas had been fighting for conscientious objector status, disappeared from Fort Campbell in Kentucky where he was facing child pornography charges.
The 21-year-old raised eyebrows when he entered Guns Galore, LLC. the very same gun store near Ft. Hood where crazed killer Major Nidal Hassan purchased the weapons arsenal he used to slay 13 soldiers in 2009.
Store owners contacted feds after Abdo asked about 40-caliber bullets.
He then bought three boxes of 12-gauge shotgun shells and a magazine for a pistol.
Abdo paid cash and took off in a cab. He then went to a surplus ARMY store where he allegedly bought a military uniform emblazoned with Fort Hood patches.
The suspect was arrested by local PD and the case was quickly turned over to feds.
The FBI searched Abdo's hotel room and found gunpowder, shotgun shells, a pressure cooker, 18 pounds of sugar, four magazines and ammunition, CNN reported.
ABC News reported that during questioning, Abdo allegedly admitted he was planning some sort of attack at the base because he wanted to "get even."
The FBI plans to charge Abdo with possessing bomb-making components, at which time he would be transferred into federal custody.
Feds said there was nothing to suggest Abdo was "working with others."
