ESPOO, Finland - Former U.S. figure skating champion Johnny Weir, a Coatesville native, returns to competition this weekend in the Finlandia Trophy.
Weir, a three-time winner at nationals (2004-06), has not competed since finishing sixth in the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. He also was fifth in the 2006 Games in Turin, Italy.
Weir has said he is coming back because he wants to skate in the Sochi Olympics in two years. He plans to skate in two Grand Prix series events this season.

Gen. David Jones: a legacy of efficiency, transformation
Retired Gen. David Jones, who passed away Aug. 10 at age 92 ["Jones a 'visionary' leader," Aug. 26 issue], was a transformational military leader of the post-Vietnam period. Without his efforts, our military today would be less efficient and effective.
Gen. Jones left college to join the Army Air Corps shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, served in Korea and Vietnam, and was a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1974 to 1982 — a longer term than anyone before or since, with four years as Air Force chief of staff and four years as JCS chairman.

Top 50 UK Blogs
Updated 30/09/2015.
Love him or fear him, Paul Staines is a powerful political blogger who strikes fear into Westminster and in his own words, 'whips journalists into shape.' We're taking no chances with this one – he is our #1.
With over 20 years of experience, Lisa Eldridge is one of the most highly regarded make-up artists on the international beauty and fashion circuits. She had her first big break when she was booked by ELLE Magazine to work with model Cindy Crawford. Today she's the publication's 'Beauty Guru' – a column where she shares her make-up know-how with readers. Her blog is busy but beautiful.
Looking for design inspiration? Then this blog is for you. Creative Bloq delivers a daily balance of creative tips and ideas across web design, graphic design, 3D and more. It has held on to the #3 spot on our ranking from last year.
4. Arse Blog
Arsenal fan? You're probably all over this blog; not a fan of the club – you're probably secretly reading it anyway. It's funny, it's informative, it's real. The immensely popular Arse Blog paved the way for football blogging, picking up loads of awards along the way.
5. Style Bubble
Author Susie Lau (aka Susie Bubble) is the Anna Wintour of the blogosphere and is, according to The Independent, 'the self-made queen of independent UK fashion blogging.' She reigns over Vuelio's Fashion Blog ranking and has moved up three spots on the UK Top 50s.
6. Pixiwoo
The blog may be 'stuck' with a name they wouldn't particularly go with today, but sisters Sam and Nic Chapman have risen to fame after a little make-up tip shared with a friend on YouTube had millions begging for more – over 200 million to be precise. Pixiwoo that.
That's exactly what it is – aspirations, dreams, wishes, bucket lists – all of it compiled beautifully (and enviably) to fit into a blog. Scrolling through the blog is much like taking a tour of the world – first class. What's not to love.
Founded in 2006 by Sasha Wilkins, the blog was written anonymously for three years until she came out as the author over a three page interview feature in British Grazia in February 2010. Sasha is one of The Evening Standard's Power 1000: London's Most Influential People (2012 & 2013), sits on the British Fashion Council's Digital Advisory Panel and is very much a part of the London fash-pack. LibertyLondonGirl.com 'covers subjects as diverse as architecture, food, fashion and philanthropy, as well as its author's thoughts on life, love and everything in between.'
9. Zoella
Brands love Zoe Sugg aka Zoella because when she recommends say a lipstick to her 9 million subscribers, they listen, they buy. She is a YouTube mega star, a style icon for teenagers, the face behind make-up brands and a bestselling (albeit controversial) author of the debut Girl Online. Her success all started right here with this blog – check it out.

Indians send RHP Rogers to Jays for Aviles, Gomes
TORONTO -- The Cleveland Indians traded right-hander Esmil Rogers to the Toronto Blue Jays for infielders Mike Aviles and Yan Gomes. The deal was announced Saturday.
Rogers split time last season with Cleveland and Colorado, going 3-3 with a 4.69 ERA in 67 combined games. The 27-year-old is 11-12 lifetime in the majors with a 5.95 ERA.
Aviles never played for Toronto. He was acquired on Oct. 21 in a deal that sent reliever David Carpenter to the Red Sox and allowed John Farrell to become Boston's new manager.
Aviles, 31, played in 136 games at shortstop for Boston last season, batting .250 with 13 homers and 60 RBIs.
Gomes played 43 games with Toronto last season, his first in the majors. He hit .204 with four home runs and 13 RBIs.
- Suspended pitcher Bartolo Colon is getting a second chance with the Oakland Athletics, agreeing to terms on a one-year contract. Colon (10-9, 3.43 ERA last season) was suspended for 50 games Aug. 22 after testing positive for testosterone. The ban will run five games into the 2013 season.

Vietnam lasted for years, it was backed by a foreign power (or powers) and Iraq is nothing like Vietnam.
I'm writing to a couple of kids over there and they are really making progress. What disturbs them most is that we're not hearing enough about it.
I believe that last Japanese soldier was found in the Phillipine Islands about 35 years after the end of the War. Japan sent a group to the Phillipines to convince him to come out. He returned to Japan but was unable to assimilate back into the culture which had changed so much. He migrated to Brazil I understand.
I should have put it another way. It's not that he's explicitly said that we have no business going after the training camps, it's just that he oppsed the Iraq war so vehemently, and nothing, not even Salman Pak has shaken him. Pretty much the same thing, but I wanted to be clear about it.
Do an In Forum on him sometime. It's quite a trip.
Here's how to do an In Forum:
1. Go to Austin's homepage by clicking his freeper name. He's over in this thread right now spewing a bunch of garbage.
2. Right under the name and sign up date on the upper-left is a series of links. "In Forum" is the third one over.
3. Clicking it gives you a kind of modified "My Comments" page that only includes comments made by that person.
Hope that helps.
"is located approximately 38 kilometers Southeast of downtown Baghdad," according to globalsecurity.org. Doesn't sound like Kurdish territory to me.
I don't understand the need to have exact numbers for casualties. It brings back the Vietnam body count and weekly total of Americans lost reported with glee by the TV Networks.
I think the point of this all, is that after the collapse of a country and it's military, you are still going to have resistance from remnants of the defeated military. After the fall of Saigon in 1975, there was still a guerilla resistance by the ARVN for a number of years in the southern part of the country. It wasn't reported by the media, of course...

Juan Manuel Marquez-Mike Alvarado: Post-Report Card
by Cliff Rold
Greater mattered more.
In the pre-fight prediction, the thinking was youth and size could overcome an otherwise better fighter. There was a moment in the ninth, Mike Alvarado dropping Juan Manuel Marquez after being down the round before. The rest of the fight belonged to the future Hall of Famer. One could even have scored the fight 11-0-1, seeing as Marquez won most of the rest of the ninth, and fairly convincingly.
After seeing Alvarado, and before him Brandon Rios, lose decisively to Marquez and Manny Pacquiao respectively, it's clear that two of the elite talents of their time are still a cut above.
Will they take a fifth cut at each other?
Let's go the report card.
Pre-Fight: Speed – Alvarado B-; Marquez B/Post: C+; B+
Pre-Fight: Power – Alvarado B+; Marquez B+/Post: Same
Pre-Fight: Defense – Alvarado C; Marquez B+/Post: Same
Pre-Fight: Intangibles – Alvarado B+; Marquez A/Post: Same
Some will see Alvarado's tentative start as evidence of being gun-shy after a series of wars and a brutal loss to the human pit bull that is Ruslan Provodnikov. That may have been true but it was also not a bad strategy. Trying to box and force Marquez to lead is a good idea. It's where Marquez has always had a weakness.
The problem is, eventually, you have to throw. When it came to that, Marquez was able to throw more, land more, and land better. Alvarado answered with increasing intensity over the second half of the fight but he was already in a hole and his chance to use his size and youth was already ebbed.
Alvarado showed tremendous bottom in getting off the floor in the eighth. He was out on his feet and could have looked for the exits. He didn't, and made the fight more memorable by digging down and finding a glimmer of hope. His courage can't be denied.
Neither can Marquez's enduring quality. He's one of the best Mexico has ever produced and, at 40, still able to go. Where does he go from here? Despite his stated desire to win a belt in a fifth weight class, his outward projection is still lingering disinterest in a fifth fight with Pacquiao.
Maybe that's real.
Maybe that's a posture to get paid better than he ever has before.
Without Pacquiao, it's hard to see what big fights there are unless he goes back to 140 for Provodnikov. Marquez didn't seem to want anything to do with the Siberian for what ended up a date with Alvarado but things change. There really aren't many options for a big fight under the Top Rank umbrella right now.
The payday is Pacquiao.
Time will tell if money talks.
For Alvarado, he loses nothing more than a fight. He'll remain a crowd favorite and could look for fights with Rios (a third for them) or maybe even Timothy Bradley if he opts to stay at Welterweight. The way he takes shots, Alvarado might not last much longer but he'll entertain while he does. He's a tough man and proved it again Saturday night.

Basketball Coaching – Struggling Through a Losing SeasonBy James Gels, from the Coach's Clipboard Basketball Playbook, @ http://www.coachesclipboard.net
"We can't win at home. We can't win on the road. As general manager, I just can't figure out where else to play." - Orlando Magic GM Pat Williams when struggling through a tough season.
"Nothing is as good as it seems and nothing is as bad, but somewhere between reality falls." - Lou Holtz
It's hard to win without talent. Or as another coach explained to me, "You can't make chicken salad out of chicken s--t." A youth coach once emailed me, "We're playing a team this Saturday that is much bigger, stronger, faster, more athletic, with great ball-handlers, passers and shooters, and tough rebounders and defenders. What should I do?" My short answer... "Lose". My friend, Coach Sar's answer was "Score first and hit the fire alarm!"
But parents and fans may be laying the blame on you. This only natural, but is also usually unfair. But this all adds to your own frustration and anxiety as a coach. It's hard to have a thick skin and let this roll off your back... but that's what you have to do. Before you make a rash decision to quit, or make some other drastic decision, sleep on it, take a couple days before deciding.
Or was it because you love the game and like working with young people? And you want to help young people succeed? And you want to be a good example and role model? You want to help develop character, work ethic and good values in your players? OK then... let's hang in there!
Ask yourself again, "what's important?" Here are a few more relevant quotes from great leaders:
- "What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player." - John Wooden
- "Winning is overemphasized. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war." - Al McGuire
- "If you make every game a life-and-death thing, you're going to have problems. You'll be dead a lot." - Dean Smith
- "It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded." - Anne Morrow Lindbergh
- "It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed." - Theodore Roosevelt
So how are you going to get through the rest of this ugly season?
Don't forget those goals... teaching kids the value of teamwork, sportsmanship, hard work, etc. When kids are down in the dumps from losing, realize that this affords a great opportunity for teaching some life lessons. Usually I don't like to see coaches spending a lot of time talking during practices... just work, practice.
But if you really have no prayer of winning your next game against that really strong opponent, why not "step out of the box", and talk with your kids. Talk to them about how life at times can be a real struggle, but "you buck up and get through it". How life can be unfair... and how you can make the best of a bad situation... how you can make lemonade from lemons, etc.
Make it fun... find a way for your players to still have fun and enjoy themselves, and feel good about themselves. Get to know them, and show them that you are still interested in them and care about them as individuals, even if basketball is not their best attribute. Teach them that "you don't have to win a trophy to be a winner."
Focus on fundamentals, especially your younger players... ball-handling, dribbling, shooting drills, etc. Yes, with repetition, they can become better players. And they must become better players before you can consistently win. Razzle dazzle game-time coaching strategies may help a little, but you have to have good players.
Rebuilding. It's tempting in a losing season for a coach to decide to "rebuild" for next year. OK... but DON'T forget your seniors who have labored in the program for four years, and this was supposed to be their year. If you want to give your underclassmen more playing time... maybe let your seniors start the game, but then substitute liberally.
But don't just forget your seniors, assuming they are still working hard with good attitudes. Start the rebuilding with your youth program... be passionate with younger kids and get them interested early on.
Talk about your goals... be realistic. Maybe there's eight games left... let's look at the schedule. We have a good chance of winning 2 or 3... so let's win those games, and then see if we can win another game or two that nobody thinks we can win. The old upset! Nothing more fun than that.
A few years ago, we were conference champs but lost in the District tournament to a team that had won only 3 games the whole season! Yes, we had some illness and injuries, but mainly that underdog team just played harder than we did and they deserved to win. After my initial disappointment, I reflected back and had to give tremendous credit and respect to that coach and those kids, who, after a miserable season, could have just folded up for us and ended their season. They had the guts and persistence to come out and put it to us.
Talk about tough losses...
Another good friend of mine, coach Bob Sippell (aka "Sip") a former Central Michigan Univ coach, told me about one of his seasons, when he was coaching a boys varsity high schoool team that ended up 1-19. Last game of the season, playing the undefeated conference champs, a highly ranked team, Sip's underdogs are playing tough, and have just tied the game.
With 7 seconds left in the game, his team fouls and the opponent gets the 1-and-1. Sip calls time-out... he looks down the bench and sees a big tall kid who hardly ever gets to play, but can really jump and rebound. "Billy... you check in now. He's gonna miss the free-throw... you go up and get that rebound and we'll call another quick time-out, and then go down and score."
Sure enough, the kid misses the free-throw, Billy jumps up, grabs the rebound, jumps back up and dunks it! Sip loses by 2... Billy comes over to the sideline in tears when he realizes what just happened. Sip says, "It's OK Bill, you got the rebound like I asked you... I just didn't want you to shoot..."

Issued at 945 AM CDT Thu Sep 22 2016 Current forecast looks to be in good shape. Made a few minoradjustments to bump up sky cover in the far south and increaseclouds gradually from the west during the day. Otherwise no changeswere needed. UPDATE Issued at 623 AM CDT Thu Sep 22 2016 No update needed at this time. Forecast on track with Canadian SFC high pressure airmass advecting across the FA on northeast winds. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 352 AM CDT Thu Sep 22 2016 Models in fair agreement with the forecast especially in the first 24 to 36 hours. 500mb ridging will strengthen today across the northern plains in response to strong upper low over the western US. At the surface northeast winds from a SFC high pressure moving across Manitoba today will be advecting drier air across the FA. This will bring plenty of sun with temps in the mid to upper 60s with some high clouds in the west and south. A rather tight pressure gradient will help keep winds mixing overnight with some clouds in the south causing temps to range from upper 40s north to low 50s south by Friday morning. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 352 AM CDT Thu Sep 22 2016 Models continue to come into better agreement with the timing and evolution of the upper low and subsequent precipitation potential. Have delayed PoPs some for Friday as drier low easterly flow will Hinder eastward and northward progression of rain. Once 850mb flow becomes more southerly late Friday into Saturday morning PWats will increase to 1.5 to 1.75 inches, which is 3 to 4 standard deviations above normal for the end of Sept, precip is more likely as mid level q-vector divergence provides the needed lift. First round of precip Friday night associated with lead impulse will bring the higher chances to the Devils Lake basin. The next round will bring a band of likely PoPs oriented south southeast to the north northwest advancing east during the day Saturday. Timing of the dry slot and how far east it pushes will continue to be evaluated as there remains potential that eastern zones may see a more prolonged period of rain if the dry slot lifts more north and allows the rain band to stall Saturday night. Current ensemble means from the 00Z model runs give the area between a half to an inch of rainfall for the FA. This is a widespread average with some locally higher amounts expected and some locally lesser amounts expected. The higher amounts from model QPFs continue to be across the Devils Lake basin across the northern valley and into the far northeastern zones of the FA. Long wave trough over the Intermountain West weakens through the period. Long wave ridge over central Canada shifts east and flattens through the period. The ECMWF was trending faster and farther north while the GFS was also trending slower and farther south. The two models diverge after 84 hours with the GFS slower and the ECMWF faster. Will blend the two models. Little change to high temperatures for Sun, Mon and Wed. High temps were decreased a degree or two for Tue. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning) Issued at 945 AM CDT Thu Sep 22 2016 VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period. High pressure toour north moves slowly east through 12Z Friday. this will maintain anortheast to east surface flow through the period.

"Never regret a day in your life: good days give happiness, bad days give experience, worst days give lessons, and best days give memories."
As I begin the last quarter of my presidency, I cannot believe how fast the time has flown by. July, in particular, was busy with professional meetings and travel. One meeting stood out: I was able to participate with the ASCP team at a breakfast meeting with Senator Charles E. Schumer (D-NY). Though the time with the senator was brief, it impressed on me the importance of our professional lobbyists, Crowell and Moring, LLP, who accompanied us, helping to bring our message to Congress.
After that meeting, I had the opportunity to represent ASCP at the SNOMED Cross-Walk Development Meeting coordinated by Pharmacy HealthIT Collaborative, Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy and Pharmacy Quality Alliance on July 12-13. This was a fantastic opportunity for ASCP to help inform and create definitions and value sets which will ultimately impact medication therapy management services in the future.
From that meeting, I then flew out to Carmel, Indiana where we had 2 days of Board meetings prior to ASCP's MidWest regional meeting. Once again your elected volunteer leaders worked tirelessly to address the mounting changes and opportunities facing ASCP and its members. We have approved the strategic plan which will help us to uphold and move forward the vision and mission of ASCP.
Empowering pharmacists to promote healthy aging through the appropriate use of medications.
Achieving safe, effective, and appropriate use of medications by all older adults.
Every time, I read these two statements it empowers me that ASCP, a member driven organization, exists to help us have a larger voice to meet the needs of the patients we serve. ASCP is only as strong as its members that is why we need EVERYONE to be involved and engaged on a local, state, national and international basis. Take a moment to ask yourself, how can you be more involved.
What I have truly appreciated during my travels are the memories created, such as the Bub's Burger outing, where Hedva, a fellow board member, introduced us to a local burger place. What a great Elk burger, and even better yet the company and memories created. In a culture where we are constantly running, it is imperative to hit pause and treasure these opportunities.
I am hopeful to see you at the 2016 Annual Meeting & Exhibition in Dallas or at an upcoming local meeting such as ASCP's MidAtlantic regional meeting in August.
Enjoy your remaining summer and remember to take a time to pause and enjoy the beauty around you. I did while I was in Hilton Head, South Carolina conducting a 4-day training program for primary care providers on geriatric principles and prescribing for older adults with my family.
Till the next time…
I hope you are getting a moment to take in these beautiful summer days and spend time with friends and family to recharge your batteries. This June I was able to meet some of you at the Senior Care Conference and Exhibition 2016 in Florida. I enjoyed meeting all of you and would like to thank Brad Kile, Rick Foley, and the entire of the conference planning team for doing an outstanding job on the conference.
There was a whole day dedicated to Medication Therapy Management and opportunities for pharmacists to learn more about opportunities and exchange ideas on practice opportunities.
I particularly enjoyed the day dedicated to Medication Therapy Management. It was a great opportunity for pharmacists to learn and exchange ideas on the new practice opportunities open to them.
Regional meetings like this give us the time to network and get to know each other. I got the chance to meet Wendy Stearns, Task Chair for the ASCP Consultant Pharmacists Workgroup, Angela M. Hill, Pharm.D., BCPP, CPh Professor and Chair, Department of Pharmacotherapeutics
And Clinical Research & Associate Dean for Clinical Practice at USF College of Pharmacy and Carol Fox, PharmD Associate Professor, USF College of Pharmacy while I was in Florida.
As president, I have been fortunate enough to see the great work pharmacists are doing and have been able to join them in celebrating the opportunities for the future. One celebration I want to share with all of you is that my daughter, Sarah Brandt, completed middle school and will be heading off to high school next year. I am so proud of her! I would also like to celebrate the graduation of Dr. Stephanie Walters from PGY2 in Geriatrics Residency at the University of Maryland and welcome Dr. Jazmin Turner to the program!
It is truly rewarding to see the development of our future practitioners. Good luck to all in this transitional stage. Hope to see some of you on my travels to the Mid-West Conference in July.
Keep in touch,
Nicki Brandt, PharmD, MBA

Hopefully you are enjoying reading this column as much as I do putting it together.
Quite a few things have happened since my last update. ASCP's 2nd Annual Forum took place April 11-12, in Baltimore, Maryland. It featured a dynamic program that attracted a diverse audience of practitioners, business owners, and administrators. The goal was to increase awareness to how care delivery is changing, with a focus on the post-acute long-term care setting and the impact on pharmacists and pharmacy operators. One of the many outstanding presenters, Dr. Paul McGann, challenged our members to get involved in the Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network, which is one part of a larger effort by the Department of Health and Human Services to improve the way care is delivered, the way providers are paid, and the way information is shared to support decision-making. I encourage you to find out more information about the Forum.
The Board of Directors met after the Forum and worked on revising ASCP's strategic plan. Part of the plan is to provide education to consultant pharmacists to support members' expertise and skills to provide optimal medication management for all aging adults.
Increasing attention is being paid to antimicrobial stewardship in nursing facilities. ASCP has been partnering with the Society of Infectious Disease Pharmacists to promote stewardship activities in the post-acute long-term care setting; consultant pharmacists will play a pivotal role to improving antimicrobial stewardship. Stay tuned; there will be more to come focusing on this important clinical and public health issue, including cutting-edge education.
I was able to attend the College of Psychiatric and Neurologic Pharmacists meeting in Colorado Springs. (https://cpnp.org/ed/meeting/2016) The educational sessions were outstanding, and the collaborative meeting with their leadership was very productive. Advocacy as well as awareness to behavioral health care and the opioid epidemic were just some of the topics discussed. It was also my honor to be present to recognize Dr. Ray Love as the outgoing President for CPNP, who has been a mentor and friend through the years. I was also able to catch up with Dr. Cynthia Boyle, current president of American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy.
I look forward to seeing you at one of the upcoming national or regional/state meetings. As always, I love to hear from you so feel free to contact me at any time.

Since the last update, a great deal has been happening on a regional and national level. After attending the APhA meeting, I attended the AMDA meeting and was able to connect with members as well as AMDA leaders. Furthermore, I was able to give two presentations: one focusing on the importance of the Consultant Pharmacist with respect to working with medical directors and the other highlighting the collaboration between ASCP and AMDA over the last year. This partnership is important and more work will need to continue as those of us who practice in the PA-LTC setting are faced with increasing challenges and opportunities.
On a regional level, there have been several meetings that have occurred. Maryland had their Spring Spectacular (March 17th); New York Downstate Meeting (April 4th); Connecticut (CT) Chapter Schwarting Senior Symposium (April 7th) and Texas Chapter Meeting (April 9th). It is exciting to learn about the great work that the various chapters and regions are involved with and a shout out to the leaders for all of their hours of dedication to organize these meetings. A special acknowledgement to Dr. Amy Huie-Li, recipient of the CT Consultant Pharmacist of the Year, for her years of service to Connecticut Chapter as well as National ASCP. Furthermore, a special thank you to our industry sponsors for their regional and national support, we could not offer these continuing educational programs without your support.
As you can tell this is a busy time of year not only professionally but also personally. I have been fortunate that two of the recent meetings in March and April have been in Baltimore so I can try to balance work and family. Furthermore, I am grateful to the support of all of you and proud to be President of this amazing organization.
"Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress & working together is success." -Henry Ford
February was a busy month legislatively for ASCP's state chapters, and I am encouraged to learn about all of the advocacy that the states have been involved with. I continue to encourage all state leaders to participate in the monthly Chapter Council Calls on the 2nd Tuesday from 12-1pm (EST). Our incoming President-Elect, Joe Marek, has been leading this group, and I applaud all of the activities. At this time, I would like to recognize all of our volunteer leaders for their hard work and commitment to ASCP. Without your dedication and involvement, ASCP would not be the organization it is.
Those of you who are basketball fans, know about "March madness". March affords the opportunity for me to network at national meetings and represent all of you. During the American Pharmacists Association in Baltimore, Maryland, thankfully my home town. I was able to not only catch up on initiatives to further Provider Status but also catch up with past Presidents and members.
There has been a great deal of advocacy going on to represent you from working with the DEA to reviewing and commenting on the Medicare Call Letter for 2017.
I will be on the road again for the American Medical Director's Meeting in Orlando, Florida. Please let me know if you will be there, I will be presenting and always to love to catch up with ASCP member. Follow my travels and reflections at: https://www.ascp.com/articles/ascp-president.
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started" -Mark Twain
During the month of January, the presidency for ASCP really launched. I started 2016 with some time out in the Pacific Northwest in ASCP Region 5. While the east coast was dealing with a record snowfall, I was able to visit the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle and Washington State University in Spokane and Bend, Oregon. During my time at UW, I presented to the students, ASCP student leadership, faculty and met with school and ASCP leadership.
A special thank you for Drs. Joy Plein, Kitty Anderson, Judi Mac-Burbridge and Annie Lam for orchestrating the visit. Additionally, I would like to thank Drs. Sean Sullivan, Andy Stegachis, Zachery Marcum and Peggy Odegard plus others who met with me to share their vision for geriatrics at the School of Pharmacy. Furthermore, I was very impressed by the student leaders especially Chris Andrews the current ASCP-UW Chapter President who wrote my biosketch and led a wonderful student program. In addition, the evening was spent at the UW club with over 35 ASCP members and guest discussion national and state legislative and regulatory activities.
After the visit at UW, I headed out to Spokane to visit the faculty, students as well as practitioners from WSU. Once again, the hospitality and time spent there was fantastic. A special thank you to Drs. Brian Gates and Josh Neumiller as well as Sue Lutz and the student leaders for orchestrating the successful visit. Spending time with future and current practitioners was insightful. I love the idea of having a Student Leader Council to cultivate idea sharing among the student chapters.
The last leg of my trip was spent in Bend, Oregon with the Oregon State Pharmacy Association leadership, members and students from Pacific University Pharmacy School. In addition, past president William "Si" Simonson was present and not only did we enjoy CE but also some cross country skiing. The time spent out in the Pacific Northwest recharged my battery for the upcoming opportunities in 2016. Thank you all. I look forward to seeing you during 2016.

Seems the Lamestream Media is scared stiff that Texas Governor Rick Perry may run for President. Jennifer Rubin (the "conservative" blogger at the Washington Post) initially writes a piece rightfully decrying the New York Times Op-Ed about Perry speaking at the Prayer Response Event last week, then had an unfortunate piece criticizing Perry for not being inclusive:
In his comments at the event, Perry specifically disclaimed partisanship. He kept his comments generic: "His agenda is not a political agenda, his agenda is a salvation agenda. . . . He's a wise, wise God, and he's wise enough to not be affiliated with any political party, or for that matter, he's wise enough to not be affiliated with any man-made institutions. He's calling all Americans, of all walks of life, to seek him, to return to him, to experience his love and his grace and his acceptance, experience a fulfilled life regardless of the circumstances. I want you to join with me as I share his word with you."
However, this is not to say there weren't problems with the event.
For starters, Perry had previously insisted that the event welcomed persons of all faiths. But this is what he said on Saturday: "Like all of you, I love this country deeply, and thank you for being here. The only thing you love more is the living Christ." Not so pluralistic after all.
Why is this "conservative" Jennifer Rubin attacking Rick Perry for expressing his faith at a Christian event? Rubin is basically stating that because this non-denominational Christian event welcomed non-Christians, Perry shouldn't be mentioning God or Jesus at all. And it gets worse:
So to recap, his words at the event were restrained but not ecumenical. And his use of public office to promote the Christian event was, to me, inappropriate.
A a practical matter, the event suggests that Perry, a man of considerable confidence, is not accustomed to operating on a national, rather than Texan, stage. One of his key problems is the degree to which he can expand beyond a base of Christian conservative supporters. This will make the task somewhat more difficult.
However, the most unfortunate aspect to this entire matter is that he has given a club to the left-wing contingent that thinks religion should not be discussed in the public square and that reference to one's faith as the basis for public-policy positions is somehow illegitimate. In that sense, Perry has done more harm than good to those who believe, that with appropriate modesty and restraint, religious values and viewpoints have a place in the great national debates of our time.
So in other words, because he might upset the fringe Left (who'd never vote for him anyway) by publicly displaying his religion, Perry isn't qualified to be a Presidential candidate. Instead of defending Perry's right to be a Christian and express his faith openly, even as a public official, Rubin suggests that Perry is in fact not qualified to be a candidate because he actually embraces his Constitutional rights!
Wait, this woman claims to be a conservative? Never mind the fact that Presidents have since the founding of this nation called for national days of prayer and even (gasp!) openly prayed at events and even during broadcasts!
The United States was founded, at least partly, on the ideal of religious freedom; the concept that people can practice whatever religion they so choose, so long as they're not harming someone else by doing so (human sacrifice, after all, is just a notch or two too far). Rubin seems to think that all's just fine, as long as you're not running for national political office. Then you might upset those guys on the Left who seem to think that "religion" is a dirty word and expressing a personal belief in God is morally equivalent to extinguishing a cigarette on another person's body. Then you're unelectable.
So, what? We pick an "electable" candidate like we got with John McCain in 2008?
Honestly, it reminds me of what I've read about Reagan's GOP detractors prior to his 1980 presidential campaign. He was "too far to the right" to win, wasn't he? He didn't play the game. He'd upset the wrong people. He'd never win an election being like that.
Right now, that kind of criticism is just fine with me.
As a side note, Governor Perry gave an amazing speech at a side event to the RedState Gathering last year, and he didn't even have a teleprompter! He'll be speaking again this year. If you didn't register, it's too late, but I understand it'll be on TV.

Good For Rush!... Limbaugh Lashes Out at Conservative Jindal-Bashers (Video)
Good For Rush!
Limbaugh Lashes Out at Jindal-Bashers! "Style is not going to take this country back."
Think Progress posted the video:
LIMBAUGH: [T]he people on our side are really making a mistake if they go after Bobby Jindal on the basis of style. Because if you think people on our side Im talking to you those of you who think Jindal was horrible, you think in fact, I dont ever want to hear from you ever again. Ive spoken to him numerous times, hes brilliant. Hes the real deal. Some of us in flyover country are getting sick of the East Coast elites bashing our conservative leaders.
This morning the local talk radio hosts were even talking about this. Jindal may not have rays of sunshine shooting from his a-- but the content of his speech was exceptional... And, he didn't lie.
Some of us were very impressed with Jindal and were upset to see other conservatives pile on the popular governor.
(Excerpt) Read more at gatewaypundit.blogspot.com ...
He is right Bobby spoke to what I wanted to hear.
Good for Rush...as usual.
One thing Republicans can learn from the Libs is do not attack your own in public. You just give them ammunition to use at a later date.
Conservatives need to stick together.
I keep sayin. He was trying to reach obamabot voters. He had to speak in small words and halting tones so they could understand him. Mr. Rogers tone was the only way they could follow him. Did everyone ever listen to Barak speak?
Liberals don't have the thought processes that conservatives have and it takes them longer to understand. He sounded like he was speaking to a third grader because he WAS! Let us not forget how well Howard Stern proved that when he did his obama man on the street interviews.......
I stand by my "Jindal was terrible" comments. That was NOT the time to "try someone out". Like it or not, someone who looked like they could lead from the Right was needed and Jindal failed. I don't have anything against the good Gov. I don't even "know" him that well. But this was a disaster.
We need both.
That ship sailed after the Nixon-Kennedy debate.
Bravo, Rush.
I was nearly jumping out of my chair on Jindal's speech. He is what we have been looking for for a while. Does anybody think the Establishment media attack machine was going to give him a chance?? Those racist hated the color of his skin more than what he said.
Love how the FReepers who always complain about RINOs were outraged at his style. Do we want to be a mirror of the fraud?
Pray for America
Don't disagree entirely. It was not great. It was a pretty run of the mill rebuttal by the opposition party. We were hoping for more and expecting to see the next big thing for the GOP. He underwhelmed, but it is not something that prevents him from a strong future.
Indeed. I mean I certainly hope he recovers and it was just a bad first game, as it were. I mean even Brett Favre's first completion was just to himself. =)
they keep listening to the crap the TV newsmedia is spewing. Until we cancel cable and sat TV enmasse - we will remain serfs.
Jindal is very good but conservatives are also making him out to be a messiah or the anti-Obama.
No matter what Obama and his running dog lackeys might say about Katrina, the people of Louisiana know that it was Obama's side of the aisle that hurt them the most.
Interesting comments by Rush and posters. Thanks. (I did not hear it)
I hate Leftwingtards and their enablers.
Well . . . if he wasn't being "tried out" on the National stage then his performance is even more worrisome. Just because you are smart and may be fantastic as a Governor, etc. doesn't make you a National leader. However, I am hoping it was a one night blip. =) I just think it was a bad time for a blip.
On the other hand, looking at your January entry date, aren't you a bit young to be in here criticizing your elders?
We need some bonafides from you, OK?
That was my reaction, although I only was able to see part of his presentation. Perhaps, as a radio commentator remarked today, he was "overproduced" by his media aides. This morning, when he appeared on TV for an interview, he came across better, probably because he was "being himself.".
How is this a disaster? This was one appearence. The attention span of the people he was trying to reach (not the chorus as such) are as short as a gnat.
People live and learn. I've seen Jindal several times and he has always been a clear, concise kind of guy. Not a lot of "uh's" and um's". For some conservatives this was a test for their hopes and dreams. Need for improvement when jumping from one level to another is nothing new so let's just presume that this is a lesson learned.
Jindal has plenty of time to hone his appearence but he needs to simply reduce his audience size in his mind as being a bayou town and he will come across as intelligent, informed and genuine. We've got 2010 before we even shoot for 2012 so let's keep our gunpowder dry.
Didn't watch but did listen to Rush....so what if he didn't hit a home run...How many times did Babe Ruth strike out. Still didn't make him a bad baseball hitter..
Good for Rush, it was nasty last night, it was dejavu Palin attacks and it made me sick. Especially from the group on Fox
I'm confused about the January entry date. And I almost double Jindal's age. And I am certainly in the majority, among conservatives, criticizing him.
Once again, the media is applying the Dick Button School of Critcism on something that has here to fore used the Paula Abdul School. Making something out of nothing.
Who remembers a memorable rebuttal?
I apologize. I am missing the point.
No Rush, but when "Substance" is backed by "Style," the Presentation is usually far more Inspirational.
Style and presentation count, maybe these days more than ever. Jindal needs to improve. I think he will.
We are all exceedingly subtle around here.
I wasn't being subtle?
Can you imagine what HDTV is going to do to most of the Democrat politicians?
Hahahah! GREAT point!
Shall we jump off the cliff together as well?
Consider the criticism of Jindal "constructive." Hopefully.
As I think about it, I guess I get it. I had been a lurker here for a couple years as I am not a "poster" on the Internet. I really thought this was kind of a conservative give and take place. I apologize for being wrong but I can see I don't belong as I like the back and forth discussion of conservative issues as "what those are" will vary from person to person. I also thought I was on solid ground about Jindal when there is no conservative out there that thought he did well. It went from "not very good" to "insane disaster" . . . and that was just the Conservatives.
Anyway . . . moving on. I leave your legal questions to the other conservative lawyers here. Good luck and take care all. Was fun while it lasted.
As far as anybody here knows you're just a Democrat, and we do have such people come through here for discussion, but more frequently for punishment ~ lord do those ol'boys like their punishment ~ and to think they used to blame that on public boarding schools in England.
I have very little reason to believe you are a Conservative. Besides, if you're double Bobby's age, you're too old to be anything but a RINO ~ we are all young, buff, well-oiled, and well-armed.
Give me a break ... Rush makes us look like a bunch of doped up, freaked out, extremist weirdos to the rest of the country.
We are not. We need to get back on message/principle and cut ourselves loose from those who only use us to perpetuate their own agendas (aka Rush and others like him).
Not what I am saying. What I am saying is don't feed your own to the enemy. They will use every single negative word said by one Republican about another against them at some point in time. They thrive on this kind of infighting. I would venture to say they are instigating some of what is going on right now.
It is good to see Rush once again stress the importance of substance over style and come to the defense of Jindal. After all, he was the one who, years ago, coined the phrase "symbolism over substance" to describe liberals...
However, it is curious that Rush couldn't seem to find it within himself during the last election cycle to afford the same consideration and make similarly spirited efforts on behalf of some other "real deal" conservatives, e.g. Duncan Hunter, who were equally as strong and knowledgeable as Jindal on conservative and Constitutional principles and positions.
It's been that way ever since the televised Nixon/Kennedy debates.
I understand. But I don't consider the honest critiquing of Republicans to be "infighting."
In fact, it's a good thing - especially if RINOs keep running the RNC and running the GOP into icebergs.
Good on Rush for calling off the attack dogs.
Time to start a Rebel Conservative movement with Jindal and Palin. Who cares what the DC snobocracy thinks of them. Lets elect a real American.
Pray for America, Our Troops and Govs Palin/Jindal
Let me spell it out. New people tend to be DNC plants trying to destroy Republicans from the inside. You have no history and this is the first place plants tend to go. Being thin skinned isn't exactly a Conservative trait, so if you are a plant, see ya.
Pray for America
Rush is dead wrong on this. As a conservative, I can say that Rush is disconnected from reality.
He is intelligent and continues to be a great spokesman for conservative ideas, but WAKE UP PEOPLE!
It's 2009! We Do, in fact, live in an age where style does count.
It's not the only thing, but it's important
Jindal is the man...he will do better and better. Reagan was not outstanding every time out. Try out a little patience my friend, it works wonders.
Your dead wrong on this. If we are going to give up our principles to be like the Dems then what are we? Do you really think that we are going to ever get a fair shake in the press??
Being a better phony is not going to fix anything. We need people like Jindal who will clean the snakes out of the swamp.
Pray for America
We are now in the era of style over substance. Past leaders such as Washington, Adams and Jefferson were not good speakers. By their own and other accounts. Great leaders but not speakers.
Teddy Roosevelt had a high annoying voice. A great leader by almost any accounts.
General Patton did not sound anything like George C. Scott.
This performance thing is annoying and is really driven by the left. Because it is based on one's own perception.
People that listened to the Nixon debate on the radio said Nixon won.
Hitler was a pretty good speaker.
Leadership should be judged on ideas and results. Jindal has been a pretty good leader so far.

This section will explain what each skill does, and why I have added points in the skills that I have.
Passive skills:
Combo Training
No question, you'll want this maxed. At max level, it gives you a 15% chance for your skills to give you an additional point toward your combo bar. For example, when CT activates, Double Attack will give you 2 points towards your combo bar instead of just one.
Combo Mastery
Another great passive skill you'll want to max out. Once it activates, you'll be able to use any skill that uses combo points without actually using any combo points (free skill use). You'll also notice a flashing skill button next to your combo bar, once this passive activates. Ignore the icon that shows up, as you don't need to press the 'F' key to use it (you can simply just press your normal hotkey), and you don't need to use the skill that the icon shows.
If you have the skill 'Moonlight Dance', you also do not need a full 5 combo points to use it (as long as Moonlight Dance is not on cool down). This can be a little confusing, so let me give you an example; I notice that Combo Mastery just activated (with around 4 combo points), and my Moonlight Dance is not on cool down. The icon is showing Deadly Blow can be used, but I ignore that and just use Moonlight Dance anyway. It works, and I still have 4 combo points left.
Buff skills:
Mark of Genocide
For 30 minutes, it gives both you and your party a critical rate boost of 2% (level 5). 2% may not seem like a lot, but it is helpful. Even if you don't believe this skill to be that helpful, most people that you will party with will expect you to have this skill maxed anyway, so you might as well max it. If they're jerks, they may even kick you from the party/raid if it is not maxed.
Poisoning Weapon
For 30 minutes, each attack has a 30% chance to poison the enemy equal to 10% of the damage dealt, every 2 seconds for 20 seconds (level 1). This is a decent skill to have maxed, but due to lack of points, we'll just leave this at level 1. Level 1 is still useful however, so keep this buff active alongside Mark of Genocide.
Unstable Doping
While using an attack skill, you have a 20% chance at max level (level 1 is 4%) to gain an attack or critical rate boost of 20%. That is nice in itself, but what we really want from this skill is the Adrenaline Rush effect. To enable this effect while Unstable Doping is active, simply use the strongest HP potion you have available.
For 2 minutes, 10% (at max level [level 1 is 2%]) of your HP recovered will convert to attack power. Each time you use a HP potion, the timer will refresh on Adrenaline Rush. To abuse this effect, simply use the strongest HP potion you have on you as a base for this effect; as the time is about to wear out, use a really cheap HP potion to refresh the timer. The original attack boost from the strong HP potion will remain intact, while refreshing the timer. Have fun!
Utility skills:
An all around great skill for both PvP and PvE alike. While you are not active in a battle state, you can use this skill; it makes you undetectable to monsters, people outside of your party, and people in PvP.
I mainly use it for gathering materials in an area where monsters are auto aggro, and for opening up with Dark Illusion. It is a great skill to have maxed (level 1 gives you a 40% reduction in speed [maxed gives no reduction at all]), but since we have other important skills to invest in, we'll leave this at level 1.
Another thing to note is that the first attack you deal out of hide will have double the damage. When you have Smoke Bomb, you'll love that fact.
Dagger Throwing
This is your only ranged attack. The purpose of this skill is to lure monsters in a field of other monsters that have auto aggro, so you won't be swarmed when you go to attack. Let the monster come to you. Using Hide is also great tactic with this skill if you don't want to attract the attention of other monsters that have auto aggro (it is also useful for hitting running targets in PvP).
Since we're mainly using this skill for utility rather than damage, leave it at level 1.
Smoke Bomb
This skill is just excellent, you'll be using it a lot in PvP and dungeons, which is why it is maxed. Basically, it allows you to use Hide even while in battle state. Each level of this skill reduces the cool down (120 seconds at maxed level [compared to 240 seconds at level 1]), which is why this skill is important to max.
The idea in PvP is to use Smoke Bomb and then Dark Illusion (or Moonlight Dance if Combo Mastery procs it [or you can just simply hide if you're #1 in colo at last round, right before the timer is set to 0]). In dungeons, it can help get the aggro of the adds off on you if the healer can't keep up (don't let them kill the healer though), or if you need to deal extra damage to the boss.
One thing to note though, is that skills like DoT will still affect you while hidden, so be careful.
Dirty Plan
One of the best skills in the Rogue tree, this will reset all the cool down on your skills, and give you an instant full combo bar. At max level, the cool down for this skill is 120 seconds, and at level 1 the cool down is 200 seconds. This is VERY useful in both PvP and PvE, as it allows you to use Gangster's Paradise and Smoke Bomb more often, which is why we want this bad boy maxed.
Gangster's Paradise
This is one of the other best skills you have available in the Rogue tree. Depending on the combo points you have, Gangster's Paradise's duration is varied. At one combo point, you are healed 12% of your total HP every 2 seconds, for a 2 second duration. At a full combo bar, you are healed for 12% of your total HP every 2 seconds, for a 10 second duration. The healing amount doesn't increase per level, the main reason we want this maxed is because of the cool down. Level 1 has a cool down of 120 seconds, while maxed level has a cool down of 40 seconds.
Crescent Moon
This skill kicks a target to the ground while stunning the target, and the stun duration is dependent on how many combo points you have. For one combo point, you get a 1 second stun. For 5 combo points, you get a 5 second stun. Personally, I don't believe this skill to be worth the waste of your precious combo points, especially since 5 seconds is not that long. There is a cool down decrease for each level of this skill, but level 1 is sufficient enough. We need level 1 anyway as a prerequisite for other skills.
Mark of Death
This skill can be quite useful, but since we have other important skills we need to put points into, you're just going to have to sacrifice Mark of Death. What this skill does is give you a damage increase of 2% (level 1), against a target marked for 30 seconds; a damage increase of 10% (level 5), when a target is marked. As you can see, it can be useful.
However, this skill is pretty misleading. In the skill description, it states that the damage is increased for everybody in your party, but this is NOT true. It only buffs the damage of you and any other Rogues that are in your party; making this skill a lot less useful than it may originally seem. If you do happen to be partied with another Rogue, you can simply leech off that person's Mark of Death anyway, since most Rogues tend to max it.
Attacking skills:
Double Attack
Your basic spamming skill for racking up those combo points. Max it.
Deadly Blow
This is your first skill that utilizes combo points. Each combo point you have available will deal additional damage when using this skill; generally you want to have obtained at least 4 combo points before using this skill. This is also your main attacking skill when the other skills that utilize combo points are on cool down. Since you'll be using it quite a lot, max it for sure.
Dark Illusion
A great skill, but we'll leave this at level 1 to preserve points for other important skills. This skill teleports you behind the enemy to deal damage, and it is always a critical hit. What I usually do before I enter a battle with a monster is use Hide, and then open with Dark Illusion. Since the first skill used after being in hide is always double damage, you'll get a guaranteed double damage critical.
Note that there is a glitch with this skill, where after you activate it, you'll sometimes be positioned wrong and won't be able to use it. There is an easy (but annoying) fix to this, where you just keep on mashing the Dark Illusion button until the game automatically positions you correctly.
Meteor Assault
An AoE, but it is really bad. We just need this at level 1, as it is a prerequisite for Smoke Bomb. It isn't completely useless (mainly used for farming on low level monsters for materials), but the damage really is pretty horrible.
Cross Impact
Honestly, this skill stinks. We are only getting it to level 1 because its a prerequisite for other skills. I wouldn't even recommend to put this on your skill bar.
Dual Stab
There are two uses for this skill. One use is that it is a prerequisite for many of the other Rogue skills, and two, it provides a definite 2 combo points (if Combo Training procs, you'll get 4 combo points).
The damage is pretty decent on this skill, but since it has a cool down, it won't be replacing Double Attack.
Rolling Cutter
An AoE even worse than Meteor Assault. Don't bother with it.
Moonlight Dance
This is your main attacking skill when you have 5 combo points. There is a moderately long animation to accompany it, so if you know an AoE is coming from a dungeon boss, just use Deadly Blow until it is safe. If you read my description about Combo Mastery, you'll know about some good tips with this skill. Since we are a DPS class, we'll want to max this skill for overall more DPS.

Knight's Armament (KAC) URX 4 5.56 IBN 14.5" Rail Assembly - Keymod
(Average score of 5 with 1 reviews.) Add Review
The URX 4 is a free-floating, continuous top rail is manufactured with the Keymod mounting system and is built stronger and more stable than previous designs due to the absence of a removable bottom rail. Another key feature to the URX 4 is the Integrated Barrel Nut (IBN). The IBN system torques the rail onto the weapon and allows the rail to act as the barrel nut. This design was developed to increase stabilization and provide a simpler solution that requires less specialized tools to install and maintain. A full array of modular accessories, iron sights, and panel kits utilizing the Keymod mounting brackets have been developed specifically to accompany this rail system. With the introduction of the URX 4, Knight's Armament Co. demonstrates its continuing determination to intelligently design effective products.

|Knight's Armament (KAC) URX 4 5.56 IBN 14.5" Rail Assembly - Keymod - Rating: ★★★★★ 5/5
|Posted: 2016-04-08
|Title: Best Rail
Best rail out there -- integrated barrel nut is awesome, the ergonomics and weight are superior, and fully modular with keymod (or the MLOK version too). Have had this and another URX 4 for a while now, and it's all I want.
