To Marry an Heiress
Michael Tremayne, the Marquess of Falconridge, is desperately in need of a fortune. Down to his last funds and barely keeping up appearances, he swallows his pride and invites several wealthy American businessmen to a private auction: his title is up for bid, and he'll marry the daughter of the man who wins.
New York banker James Rose tops the bidding, and for a moment Michael envisions marrying beautiful Jenny Rose, a well-known debutante. But it's his younger daughter, Kate, that Mr. Rose wants Michael to wed. However, Michael must make Kate happy, and to ensure that he does, James Rose puts Kate in charge of her own inheritance. Michael may hold a title, but Kate will hold the purse strings. To Michael, it's all a business arrangement anyway; he doesn't even bother to go visit Kate before the wedding. He'll do his best to make her as happy as he can, but love is not in the cards.
Two weeks later, they are married. Kate wanted a love match; she thought she'd found it by running off with the younger son of a viscount, but Kate's social-climbing mother saw to it that their hasty marriage was annulled, and he married another woman. Kate, heartbroken, knuckles under when faced with her domineering mother's insistence that she marry high up the aristocratic ladder. In a move that made me dislike her, Kate turns her frustration on Michael. She will decide when and if they consummate the marriage, and in the meantime, she'll dole out money as she sees fit.
Michael has a difficult family situation that he is dealing with: his mother has dementia and no longer recognizes him. It's very expensive to keep her in a private asylum, and it's this rather heartbreaking problem that has caused him to abandon all of his pride and auction himself off. As hard as it was for him, he tries to see Kate's side of things and knows it must have been equally difficult for her to abandon her dreams of a marriage based on love, an emotion he doesn't believe he possesses. When they move from London to Michael's country estate, and Kate sees for herself just how dire his situation is, her attitude begins to (thankfully) change. Gradually, they become friends, than find they are becoming much more than that to each other.
For the first half of the book, Kate holds the power in the relationship, and at times it feels as though she simply toys with Michael in fits of petulance. She won't consider sex until he can guess her favorite color, for instance. This becomes a running game, as Michael ends each evening with a guess. Yet, as the story progresses, Kate begins to see how childish this all is, and when she and Michael begin to trust one another, the story takes off.
Michael is by far the more intriguing character. His progression from a man going through the motions of pleasing his wife to a man who genuinely wants to make her happy is touching, and his strained relationship with his mother is especially poignant. Kate is more exasperating because she often speaks and acts in contradictions. First she says she genuinely loves her mother deeply; later she says she dislikes her intensely. She makes a big deal out of being sensible with money, but then tells Michael that she never wears a gown more than once. She's intrigued by Michael and recognizes his fine qualities, but when her smarmy ex-lover shows up (as readers know he inevitably must) she turns into an instant twit and can't tell him to shove off. I liked her, but at the same time, I wanted to slap some sense into her.
Just Wicked Enough was just enjoyable enough to keep me reading; any book I don't want to put down is Recommended by me. I believe this might be the second book in a series, and there are hints that Jenny Rose will star in her own story. I'll be looking for it.

► Diminished PTB expression is sufficient to trans-differentiate fibroblasts to neurons ► PTB plays a key role in a regulatory loop to suppress neuronal-specific genes ► PTB regulates gene expression at both the splicing and RNA stability levels ► PTB modulates microRNA targeting by competition or switching RNA structure
The induction of pluripotency or trans-differentiation of one cell type to another can be accomplished with cell-lineage-specific transcription factors. Here, we report that repression of a single RNA binding polypyrimidine-tract-binding (PTB) protein, which occurs during normal brain development via the action of miR-124, is sufficient to induce trans-differentiation of fibroblasts into functional neurons. Besides its traditional role in regulated splicing, we show that PTB has a previously undocumented function in the regulation of microRNA functions, suppressing or enhancing microRNA targeting by competitive binding on target mRNA or altering local RNA secondary structure. A key event during neuronal induction is the relief of PTB-mediated blockage of microRNA action on multiple components of the REST complex, thereby derepressing a large array of neuronal genes, including miR-124 and multiple neuronal-specific transcription factors, in nonneuronal cells. This converts a negative feedback loop to a positive one to elicit cellular reprogramming to the neuronal lineage.

I am writing in support of Richard Flarend for the 79th House seat. There are many reasons that Richard is the better choice for our area. The most important in my opinion is public education.
Richard will be a strong advocate for public education. He is a professor at Penn State Altoona, and his wife teaches for the Bellwood-Antis School District.
He understands that public education is a strong part of what makes the U.S. great. His opponent is in favor of dismantling public education, which I believe would be devastating to Pennsylvania as well as to our country. There is no evidence that charter schools are better than public schools.
Put our children and our future first; please vote for Richard Flarend on Nov. 6.

Nerve Stimulation Device Approved to Restore Bowel Control
MONDAY, April 4 (HealthDay News) -- Medtronic's InterStim implanted electrical stimulation device has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to help restore bowel control in people with chronic fecal incontinence, the company said in a news release.
InterStim -- comprised of a thin wire lead and an implanted pacemaker-like device -- uses mild electrical stimulation of the sacral nerves to affect pelvic muscles and the bowel. It improved or restored bowel control in 80 percent of people who failed more conservative therapies or weren't candidates for those therapies, Medtronic said.
The device had already been approved by the FDA to treat symptoms of overactive bladder and non-obstructive urinary retention, the company said.
The most common side effects reported during clinical testing included implant site pain, a sensation of skin tingling or numbness, and implant site infection.
More than 18 million Americans have fecal incontinence, according to U.S. Government statistics cited by Medtronic, based in Minneapolis.

Cirrhosis is caused by scar tissue that forms in your liver in response to damage occurring over many years. Each time your liver is injured, it tries to repair itself. In the process, scar tissue forms. As the scar tissue builds up, liver function worsens. In advanced cirrhosis, the liver no longer works very well.
It's important to determine the cause of cirrhosis because treating that underlying cause can help prevent further liver damage. A wide range of diseases and conditions can damage the liver and lead to cirrhosis, including:
Some people may have more than one cause for cirrhosis, such as alcohol abuse and viral hepatitis. Up to 20 percent of people with cirrhosis don't have an identifiable cause for the condition (cryptogenic cirrhosis).

Your favorite children's books
No matter what your age, you probably smile fondly when you think about a line from a special book you've read, or had read to you, as a child.
Maybe is was the sing-song rhyme or the colorful drawings that came to life on the page that you loved.
Or maybe it was the voice your mother used for each of the animals.
Or maybe it was the adventure the characters had, the magical journey that took you away.
We ask readers to tell us about their favorite children's books, and we got lots of responses from children and adults, including several from Kimberly Parrish's third grade class at North Aiken Elementary.
Today, we print some of our favorites.
Happy reading!
This book, "1001 Things Every Teen Should Know Before They Leave Home (Or Else They Will Come Back)" is one of the best bookI have read in awhile. I got it for my daughter.— Vernon Taylor
"Arthur's Birthday" is my favorite book. My cousin and I read it together. We read it at my mom's house, and we ate pizza. I wonder if my cousin liked the book as much as I did. Have you read "Arthur's Birthday?"— Ishmel Walker, 3rd grade
My two year old grandson, Chandler Basile, has loved books since he was an infant, and he also loves trucks. A friend gave him a truck board book, and he wanted me to read it every day. Eventually, he learned to "read" the book "Roadwork" by Sally Sutton to me! The picture (to the left) shows what happened one day while he was "reading!"— Marion Mobley
My favorite children's book is "Biscuit Finds a Friend" because he's a cute little puppy, and he's really nice. He's funny, blonde and happy. That book is awesome. What would you think if you read this book?— Kyle Washington, 3rd grade
My favorite story is "Cat in the Hat" because when I was in kindergarden it was one of the first books I had read. It starts with two young kinds on a rainy day and they meet a festive cat. They mess up the house. What do you think they should do?— Tawanna Jackson, 3rd grade
My favorite children's book is "The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids: Sea Monsters Don't Ride Motorcycles." I like it because it has motorcycles, and they had a race. I can't wait to read the next book! Would you like to read this children's book?— Jay Richardson, 3rd grade
My favorite children's books are the beloved Betsy-Tacy stories by Maud Hart Lovelace, happily back in print. Set in early 19th century Minnesota, the series is about three best friends. One unique aspect of the books is that Betsy's father, ahead of his time, encourages her to become a writer, inspiring generations of readers.— Constance Martin
I am crazy about a basketball book called "The Million Dollar Shot." I enjoy reading about basketball. The story is illustrated and written by Dan Crutman and is about a character named Eddie. For example, it is a spectacular children's book which is also a chapter book. Have you ever read this story before?— Malachi Walker, 3rd grade
I enjoy the "Cat in the Hat" and other Dr. Seuss books. His books are special to me. They are funny, rhyming, and the pictures are colorful. The cat in the hat gets upset in the end, but he soon becomes pleasant again. Are these books special to you?— Aaliyah Hall, 3rd grade
My childhood favorite: "The Golden Egg Book." I have read it to all my grandchildren, and they have embraced it as I did, 60-plus years ago! The sweet story appeals to children ages 2 to 5 years. It was written by Margaret Wise Brown, with beautiful illustrations by L. Weisgard.— Paula Maxwell
My favorite book is "The Lorax." "The Lorax" is special to me because it's entertaining and it takes place in a beautiful forest. One of the characters is the Onceler. "The Lorax" is a picture book and a movie. It is about saving trees. What book is special to you?— Sydney Horn, 3rd grade
My favorite series is the "Scooby Doo" series by James Gelsy. It's special to me because I've been watching it since I was three. Scooby is adorable, and Velma and Daphne are lovely.— Kassie Emanuel, 3rd grade

Roberts Research Labs Vitamin C Gel -- 7.5 fl oz
cheap but great
I was looking for cheap but good, and this is cheap but GREAT. I am not buying some of the more expensive stiff anymore! Love the smell too.
April 20, 2013
Very Drying
This product smells good, is oil-free and inexpensive. But I found it was drying (alcohol is the second ingredient), so I think it's better for people with oily skin. Also, it contains parabens.
February 7, 2013
Love this Gel!
As a sun worshiper I have tried different vitamin C products
to help with the ageing effects.This is now my favorite.
The gel is cool and clean and absorbs well. Using it right
after the shower before anything else. The price by far is
excellent and the results show.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Erin Silk, 518.782.9400, ext. 224
MOUNT KISCO, NY, NOVEMBER 21, 2012 — Douglas Kennedy, who was caught on camera kicking and pushing two Northern Westchester Hospital nurses, was acquitted by a Mount Kisco judge Tuesday. Nurses say this decision sends the wrong message to the public.
Under state law, it is a felony in New York State to assault a nurse while on duty– and the video in this case speaks for itself.
The nurses, who were following hospital protocol, tried to stop Kennedy from leaving the maternity unit with his two-day old son when he tried to take the child outside in January. In response, Kennedy can be seen on tape kicking one nurse and pushing the other to the ground.
"Justice was not served," said Eileen Letzeiser, Nurses Association member and RN at neighboring Westchester Medical Center who has followed the case and has been at each hearing in support of the nurses. "A powerful person who should be going to jail for assaulting nurses who were just trying to do their job, instead walks free without so much as a reprimand. What kind of message does that send?"
The New York State Nurses Association has stood with the two nurse victims since the case went to trial in June and has repeatedly dogged Kennedy with rallies outside the courtroom.
The New York State Nurses Association is the voice for nursing in the Empire State. With more than 37,000 members, it is New Yorks largest professional association and union for registered nurses. The association represents registered nurses, and some all-professional bargaining units, in New York and New Jersey. It supports nurses and nursing practice through education, research, legislative advocacy, and collective bargaining.

New York, 14 Feb 05 UN-HABITAT and the International Council for Caring Communities last week held a conference to address the problems facing older members of society.
At the opening of the conference, UN-HABITAT Executive Director Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka challenged the delegates to find innovative ways to ensure that senior citizens could be readily integrated into civic life. She also challenged the assembled audience to think about how better conditions for all ages could be constructed even in the most difficult of urban environments.
Statistics show that every month 1.2 million people turn 60 years old. Currently, only one in ten people are over 60 but by 2050, this figure will have doubled. The aging of the world's population has not been given due attention and it was to redress this balance that UN-HABITAT joined forces with the International Council for Caring Communities to organize the conference entitled Caring Communities for the 21st Century: Imagining the Possible.
Mr. Muni Akram, President of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and permanent representative of Pakistan, reinforced the call for innovations using computer-based technologies, pointing out that ECOSOC had been instrumental in establishing a task force to encourage ready community access to digital technologies. During the full day conference, delegates heard about how telecentres were helping to bring together communities in Ecuador and how information and communication technologies could be used to achieve socio-economic development for all ages.

News Release
Wednesday, November 16, 2011
Media contact: Amanda Nalley, 850-410-4943
(Back to Commission meeting news)
Two fishing associations honored six employees of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Wednesday for their efforts to conserve marine life. One is the new head of the FWC's Division of Marine Fisheries Management, and the other five are with the FWC's Division of Law Enforcement.
The Florida Guides Association presented the FWC's Jessica McCawley with its Phil Chapman award at the FWC's commission meeting in Key Largo. The award is given annually to someone who demonstrates a commitment to the conservation of Florida's natural resources.
Before becoming division director in late September, McCawley was administrator of its Analysis and Rulemaking Subsection, analyzing stock assessments and reports, gathering public opinions and creating management options for marine fisheries rule promulgation. She joined the FWC in 2003.
McCawley received her B.S. in Marine Biology from Spring Hill College and her M.S. in Marine Science from the University of South Alabama. Her experience includes work with red snapper and artificial reef communities, predator-prey relationships in fish populations, and human dimensions of fisheries management.
The Florida Keys Commercial Fishermen's Association honored five FWC officers who have made significant contributions to apprehend, investigate or deter lobster-trap robbing in the Florida Keys. Bill Kelly, the association's executive director, presented the award to the officers at Wednesday's Commission meeting.
Officers Aaron Smith and Jason Rafter worked several plainclothes details in Marathon. They worked day and night, targeting areas where illegal activity was suspected.
"They made several cases in which they apprehended individuals with undersized lobster, out of season lobster, speared lobster and wrung lobster tails," Kelly said.
Lt. David Dipre and officers Josh Peters and Bryan Fugate also were recognized. They have also worked plainclothes details to apprehend individuals suspected of trap robbing. They have worked six cases involving trap robbing, possession of undersize lobster and possession of wrung lobster tails. All cases were directly related to the illegal commercial harvest of Florida spiny lobster, and each case led to the apprehension and arrest of the individuals involved.
"All five men consistently do what is necessary to target enforcement when and where it is necessary to prevent the illegal harvest of marine fisheries in the Keys," said Maj. Alfredo Escanio, commander for the FWC's South Region.
FWC Facts:Numerous marine species, like blue crabs, redfish, white shrimp, stingrays, tarpon, are found more than 100 miles upstream in the freshwater portions of the St. Johns River.

These women have had their previous business shut down for the same violation, which states that the practice of wrapping the infants tightly is prohibited in this state. It's one thing if they do it to their own kids, but not to the kids entrusted to their care. Bottom line, it's against the law, they knew it and they persisted in practicing this method of trrying to keep the kids quiet. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but in our country this practice is not legal......

34 ways to motivate kids to learn
Motivation is the single biggest determinant of how well children will learn. Find out how to help. more
Do you always have trouble making ends meet, or seem to wake up tired after a long night's sleep? Maybe your family can't stop squabbling? Some rooms in your house may not feel right, but it's impossible to put your finger on what may be wrong? By applying some easy-to-use Feng Shui tips you can transform uncomfortable spaces in your home into areas that encourage harmony, relaxation or stimulation - whatever energy you are looking for.
Brigitte Seum from SoulSpace, a Feng Shui consultancy in Melbourne, says there's nothing psychic or supernatural about the art of Feng Shui - it's all about common sense and creating space around you that feels right. "Feng Shui is all about placement and aligning your environment to the forces of nature - in short, it can help you function to your full potential."
If you're serious about making improvements in your life, the first thing you should do is clear your home of clutter. Too much clutter scattered around can leave you stuck in the past and stop you from moving forward. "Keep only things around you that you find uplifting and try to eliminate features that you find ugly or you just keep out of a sense of duty."
These Feng Shui tips are simple, quick and easy to organise and implement. Try a few and see what happens. But remember, Feng Shui is all about common sense and what feels right when you walk into a room.

I taught the Gospel of Mark this past school year for a men's Bible study here on campus. As we worked our way through the Passion narrative, I was struck with how little Mark dwelled on the physical aspects of the crucifixion, focusing more, rather, on the social degradation and shame of the events of Passion Week. The mockery, the shame, the betrayal, the abandonment, the scandalous accusations—these dominate Mark's narrative. Given Peter's likely relationship with Mark, I often reflected on 1 Peter 2:23 during my study. "When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly." (NIV)
Certainly one of the more severe tests we face as leaders in ministry is responding with the humility and faith of the Lord Jesus to criticism, slander and insults, however unjust and malevolent they may be. The desire to lash back, to fabricate some sense of justice, often overwhelms our desire to be Christlike. But be like Christ we must. If the eternal Son of God, when slandered and demeaned, entrusted Himself to the eternal Father who judges all justly, how much more must we do the same.

Jim Blankenbaker (M.A. Old Testament 1986)Hello friends from long ago! I am still alive! But not 100% well; I have MS. But at least I am not in a wheel chair! I served for 12 years as a United Methodist pastor before I came down with the disease. My typing skills are terrible because of the disease, but I would love to hear from some of you. Phone calls would be welcomed (540)948-4233.
Gary Elkins (M.A. PR, 1982)We have added a granddaughter to the family ("Madi" Phoenix Elkins) as of September 2010, who was born to our daughter and husband Mark and Jackie Elkins (Atlanta, GA). I recently received (December 2010) an M.A. in bioethics from Trinity Graduate School. Finally, I am completing my 12th year as professor of philosophy at Toccoa Falls College.
Dave Falconer (1963-1968)While attending Denver Seminary I served as pastor of the Bethany Baptist Church in Denver, CO. In 1963 I moved to Mesa, AZ to be the founding pastor of Trinity Baptist Church. After serving 26 years Joyce and I started Networking4Missions and began serving with Missions Door. We continue to serve as Special Representatives in the Southwest for Missions Door. We have completed 60 years in active ministry and recently honored with Pastor Emeritus of Trinity Baptist. In 1986 our partners (Dr. Ken Stephens & Myra Falconer) were called home and God has given us a second chapter in our lives filled with new challenges for the past 23 years. We will always be thankful for our years in Denver, many friends and lessons learned that have carried us through an exciting journey.
Roger E. Hedlund (BD 1963)After many long delays, the book, Indian and Christian: The Life and Legacy of Pandita Ramabai, was released on March 26, 2011 in New Delhi (published by ISPCK (Delhi) on behalf of MIIS (Chennai) and CMS/UBS (Pune). The book is an outcome of an international consultation held in 2005 at Pune, India, on the theme "Indian and Christian: the life and contributions of Pandita Ramabai" of which I was but one among the 15 contributors of essays. I eventually became one of the editors. The volume is edited by Roger E. Hedlund, Sebastian Kim, and Rajkumar Boaz Johnson.
Peter Heim (M.Div. 2009) & Erin Heim (M.A. Biblical Studies, New Testament 2009)Peter and Erin recently moved to Dunedin, New Zealand.

Bo Horlen (M.A. Church Education, 1975)Cynthia and I are in Ankara, Turkey visiting our youngest daughter Beth, her husband Mark Prochaska, and our granddaughter Lucy Kahle, born on March 8, 2011.

Mark is an electrical engineer (A S U) and an M B A (Bilkent University, Ankara). Beth is a Communication grad of Arizona State University.
We served 33 years as church planters in Davao City and Cebu City, Philippine, where there are now more than 140 churches. We were colleagues with Bob and Marge Skivington, pioneers of the Davao work and our mentors. Bill and Karen Mutchler, Lee and Dottie Wanak, and Frank and Rosa Pardue, all Denver grads, joined the ministry between 1981-84. In Cebu City we worked with Brent Ralston, who married our eldest daughter Christine in 1992. They are still there carrying on the work.
Our second daughter Aileen and her husband Darren Zink, a high school math teacher in Gilbert, AZ, have allowed us to build a 1 bedroom/kitchen/living room/bathroom addition to their home in Mesa, AZ, enabling our retirement. I serve with no salary at Mesa B C and with WorldVenture as a 'church coach' in AZ.
Our third daughter Debbie and her husband Adam La Bell are in Portland, OR preparing to move to Israel in September. Adam is a chemical engineer with Intel who is transferring him for the second time to Israel. They went through Training Ordinary Apprentices to Go for the past 5 months in Chandler, AZ as a part of their prep to go this time.

During college she was actively involved with Young Life, a ministry outreach directed toward non-churched high school students. This love for literature and students led her to complete a certification in secondary education in the areas of English and history. Her courses often draw together her passions for literature, ministry, and biblical studies. Her desire is that students grow in their knowledge of the biblical texts and in their love for the God they reveal.
During 2011 graduation ceremonies, she was awarded "Professor of the Year" at Simpson. This award is voted on by the student body with regards to a professor's teaching excellence and contribution to the institution. Michelle has been recently accepted by both Trinity and the University of Bristol, England where she plans to study for the fall semester.
Ted Travis (M.Div. 1983)Ted is now the Associate Pastor at Lawndale Community Church in Chicago, IL.
Clay Warren (M.A. Christian Ed, 1989)I attended Denver Seminary from 1986 - 1989 and graduated with an M.A. in Christian Education. At the time I was a full time youth pastor at the Arvada Church of God. Both of my children, Danielle and Chad, were born while I was in seminary. I recall with great gratitude the warmth that my children received from the faculty, as they often tagged along with me at the school. In 1991 I moved to Puyallup Washington where I still live.
I continue to serve as a youth pastor at the Tacoma Christian Reformed Community Church. This year marks the completion of my 13th year in that church and my 30th year in youth ministry. I am pleased to announce that this year we will be celebrating my daughter's wedding on June 25th. In addition to being an Occupational Therapist, Danielle has a passion to serve youth and has worked alongside me as a volunteer youth leader for the past 4 years. Her future husband Jake also volunteers with the youth.
For the past 20 years my family and I have been serving the El Sauzal Orphanage in San Antonio de las Minas, Mexico. Both Danielle and I serve on the board of directors for the El Sauzal Foundation which is a California based non-profit organization that exists for the support of the orphanage. www.elsauzal.org. My son Chad is a senior at Washington State University and is receiving his Civil Engineering degree with an emphasis in water resources which he hopes to use on the mission field. He is currently a Young Life leader serving the campus of WSU.
In June my wife Naomi and I will celebrate our 26th year of partnering in both marriage and ministry. Serving Christ and His church has been a blessing far beyond what I ever thought possible. I am very thankful for the preparation for ministry I received at Denver Seminary as well as the personal support I received from the faculty and staff.
Ken Webb (M.A. Chaplaincy, 2006)Ken is currently the track chaplain at Bandimere Speedway. In September he will be stepping down from one job as the West Central Regional Director for Team RFC (Racers for Christ) with the desire to serve as a fire department chaplain as well as chaplain with national disaster relief agencies.
Gordon & Becki West (M.Div. 1984)Gordon & Becki West co-founded KidZ At Heart International (www.kidZatheart.org) in 2003. They now lead this mission organization with projects in 25 countries around the world and a virtual office staff that spans North America and South Africa. In partnership with several international organizations including Walk Thru the Bible, KidZ At Heart equips people to reach and teach kids for Christ within their own culture.They'd love to help Denver grads equip and send short-term teams to conduct intensive children's ministry training for nationals or church planters that your church may support, or to offer training for your church's children's and family workers.
Gordon & Becki were recently named by Group's Children's Ministry Magazine as two of the top twenty influencers in children's ministry over the past twenty years. Since seminary, they have had several books published, including The Discipline Guide for Children's Ministry, QuickGuide to Discipline for Children's Ministry, Dynamic Preteen Ministry, Preteen Ministry Smart Pages and Devotions for People Who Love Kids.
In June, the Wests will celebrate their 30th anniversary. They have two adult children, Ashley (22) who teaches in a low-income public school in Phoenix and pilots her own hot air balloon and Emily (18) who is a student at the University of Arizona, a dancer and going on a Campus Crusade project this summer.
Charles Walter Wooten (M.Div.,1978)Charles has had a varied career as a minister, wilderness camp director for teens, university English instructor in China, short-term missionary in Taiwan, public school teacher and administrator, and an author of Christian novels based upon his experiences. He is the published author of Letters From A Chinese Angel and the sequel to this book is entitled Mission to Moscow (Mystery on the Trans-Siberia Express). He and his wife Millie celebrated their 52nd Anniversary in December 2010.
They have three adult children and five grandchildren. They live in Colorado where Chuck earned his Master's degree in Education ('65) from Colorado University-Boulder, and where he has enjoyed such outdoor activities as skiing, hiking, and climbing "fourteeners" in the Colorado Rockies. They are members of a dynamic congregation at the Crossroads ABC Church in the Denver area. They have participated in various Go-Serve ministries of this church. Charles still keeps in touch with his former students in China, one of whom recently earned her Doctorate in Education from Sydney University in Australia, and credits him for his encouragement to persevere. She and her son are both his friends on Facebook. Small world, isn't it?! Praise the Lord! Feel free to contact Chuck at .

On May 13 we enjoyed hosting over 35 alumni on campus for a reception with President Mark Young and Pastor Gordon MacDonald. It was an encouraging time to meet and greet among friends and hear what the Lord has been doing in the lives and ministries of our grads.
Following the reception, over 90 alumni and local pastors joined us for a special lunch where Pastor MacDonald was the keynote speaker sharing his thoughts on the profound transformation that has occurred in American pastoral ministry since the 1950s. One alum had this to say about the day's events:"Thank you for all of your planning and work to put together the reception & luncheon. It was an event unlike anything I have experienced at the seminary before. The whole tone of the day made it clear that you all were serving us alumni and pastors in the community. Thank you for your initiative and GENEROUS investment into our lives!"

Denver Seminary recently hosted a Career Search Seminar, presented by Packard N. Brown M.Div., CEC, RCC. We will be sharing tips from the seminar over the next few months in a effort to help those searching for a job.
Networking ExerciseHere is a great networking exercise so you can see where you need to tighten up your personal story so you are prepared to put your best foot forward when you make a new connection about a job or when a hiring manager says, "So tell me about yourself."With an acquaintance, practice answering these questions out loud:• What's your background?• What can you do? (i.e. What you have done. What you can do. What you would like to do. Translate your skills and experiences into what you can do for THEM.)• Why are you here?Practicing these answers aloud will show you how well-prepared (or not prepared) you are to give coherent, clear and effective examples of what you can do to help move a company forward.
Did You Know?The most used "routes to employment" utilized by job seekers are job boards, company websites, social media and recruiters. Yet the "routes to employment" that have proven most effective are personal networking and contacting corporate managers directly.

"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." James 5:16 (NIV)
It is our honor and privledge to pray for you and we want to give you the same opportunity to pray for us also.
Please pray for:• God to open doors of ministry for our recent grads, and that they will be willing to go and serve wherever God leads.• Dr. Mark and Priscilla Young as they travel this summer, that God will open many opportunities to share the mission of Denver Seminary and encourage others to step out in faith and become a part of what God is doing here.• Thank God for the Board Members who faithfully serve Denver Seminary, for their sacrifice and commitment.• Continue to pray for Dr. Hélène Dallaire, Associate Professor of Old Testament. Dr. Dallaire is originally from Canada and is in the process of receiving permanent residency in the U.S. Recently she has experienced some challenges with the U.S. residency process and if it doesn't get resolved quickly, it will require her to return to Canada. Specific requests for Dr. Dallaire:
• The CACREP re-accreditation process for our Counseling Program. Our major report is due at the end of July. Pray for wisdom and endurance to finish well.• The $2.4 million capital campaign which will fund the campus expansion for more classroom space, a larger student center, improved classroom technology and extra parking. The Lord has blessed us with a great kickoff to the campaign as $1.8 million remains to be funded. Pray specifically that God would raise up givers to help us reach this goal.

Longtime friend and alumnus of Denver Seminary, Gordon MacDonald, was appointed Chancellor of Denver Seminary by the Board of Trustees, effective August 1, 2011. MacDonald follows in the footsteps of Dr. Vernon Grounds, who held the title of Chancellor from 1979 until his death in September 2010.
Gordon MacDonald has a long history with Denver Seminary, having graduated with an M.Div. in 1966. He served as Interim President of the Seminary during the 2008-2009 academic year and was awarded the Doctor of Divinity degree at the 2011 Denver Seminary Spring Commencement. In his letter to the Board of Trustees nominating MacDonald for the honorary doctoral degree, Seminary President Mark Young wrote,
"Gordon MacDonald has served the local church, the global Church, and Denver Seminary with distinction during his forty plus years of ministry as a pastor, speaker, author, and leader. His ministry embodies the core commitments of the seminary—biblical authority, vigorous scholarship, charitable orthodoxy, redemptive relationships, and global concern. His ability to communicate the truth of Scripture with clarity and compassion models what we desire for our graduates."
Pastor MacDonald may be best known for the numerous books he has written or co-authored with his wife, Gail. His best known book is Ordering Your Private World which won the Gold Medallion and the Platinum Awards from the Evangelical Christian Publishing Association. Among his other books are The Resilient Life, Building Below the Waterline, Who Stole My Church?, which was nominated as a finalist for The Christian Book Award by the Evangelical Christian Press Association and received a starred review from Publishers' Weekly, and the soon to be released Going Deeper (October 2011). In addition, he serves as editor-at-large with Leadership Journal, a publication of Christianity Today, Inc.
Pastor MacDonald brings a wealth of experience to Denver Seminary, having served as president of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and chairman of the board of World Relief Corporation, an NAE-associated relief and development organization committed to the alleviation of suffering and poverty in the areas of HIV/AIDS, micro-enterprise development, refugee resettlement, and disaster assistance. He has been a pastor for over 40 years, serving most recently as senior minister at Grace Chapel in Lexington, Massachusetts. He also mentors leaders in business and ministry from all over the globe.
Pastor MacDonald states, "My connection to Denver Seminary is almost sixty years in duration. When I was a boy, my home church enthusiastically supported the seminary. That made an impression on me. As a student, I followed Dr. Vernon Grounds into seminary life, and he changed me. As a pastor, I sent more than a few students the seminary's way and I was never disappointed. Now, I have the privilege of associating with Dr. Mark Young's team to see what I can do to encourage and support him and the Seminary's great faculty. It's a very special day for my wife, Gail, and me."
Pastor MacDonald's academic background includes a B.A. from the University of Colorado (1962), and as stated before, an M.Div. from Denver Seminary (1966). Barrington College (which later merged with Gordon College) awarded him an honorary Doctor of Divinity Degree in 1979. Gordon and his wife Gail MacDonald have been married 50 years; they have two married children and five grandchildren.
Denver Seminary is pleased to announce that Debbie Kellar has accepted the position of Vice President of Finance at Denver Seminary, following the retirement of Jack Heimbichner. Debbie brings to the position the knowledge, experience, character, and leadership that it demands. Debbie has been at the Seminary for 11 years, most recently in the position of Associate Vice President of Finance. She has a B.A. in Accounting from New Mexico State and a M.B.A. from University of Kansas. We are thrilled that she has agreed to take on this challenging role.
Denver Seminary's 60th commencement ceremony was held Saturday, May 14, 2011 at Southeast Christian Church in Parker, Colo. The graduates, commissioned by President Mark Young and the board of trustees, included 161 master's level candidates, nine doctoral candidates and 15 certificate candidates. The ceremony was attended by numerous family members and friends. Pastor Gordon MacDonald was the keynote speaker exhorting the graduates to grow deeper in their faith, surround themselves with those of deep faith and help disciple others to grow in the same.
Numerous awards were presented, including the Raymond McLaughlin Preaching Award, given to Anthony D. Grimes, Jr.; the Richard S. Beal Missions Award, presented to Glenn Cameron Pieters; and the Carey S. Thomas Award for Excellence presented to Robert Matthew Read. The training and mentoring department awarded Excellence in Mentoring medallions to Steve and Darlene Thulson and Wes Roberts in recognition of their outstanding and continued service as mentors. Adrienne Mary Johnson was the student recipient of the Excellence in Mentoring medallion. Thirteen students were named to the Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities list. Join us in congratulating the class of 2010 and praying for them as they begin the next chapter of their lives and ministry.

The widespread availability of potent combination anti-HIV therapy (commonly called ART or HAART) in Canada and other high-income countries has had a tremendous impact on the health of HIV-positive people. Deaths from AIDS-related infections are now less common. Furthermore, a young adult diagnosed with HIV today is expected to have a near-normal life span, provided that he or she is engaged in care and treatment and has minimal pre-existing health conditions.
Unfortunately, deaths continue to occur among HIV-positive people because of complications affecting different organ-systems. Some complications arise from co-infection with other viruses. For instance, because hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are spread in ways similar to HIV, a significant proportion of HIV-positive people are co-infected with these viruses.
Both HBV and HCV attack the liver, causing inflammation and the gradual replacement of healthy tissue with useless scar tissue. As the liver is slowly destroyed, serious complications affecting quality of life and the rest of the body occur. Infection with HBV or HCV can ultimately result in liver cancer and death. Being co-infected with HIV speeds up the pace of liver damage.
Reports from high-income countries - Canada, Denmark, France, Spain, Switzerland and the U.S. - suggest that complications arising from hepatitis co-infection are responsible for an increasing proportion of illness and death in the present era.
People with liver cancer may not have symptoms in the early stages. However, as the tumour grows, affected people may notice the following:
These symptoms are similar to those in people with other illnesses, so by themselves they are not definitive for liver cancer and medical investigation is necessary for people at high risk for liver cancer.
Therapy for liver cancer varies depending on the size and spread of the tumour(s). Potential interventions include the following:
In experiments with cells in the lab, the drug sorafenib (Nexavar) can block the growth and development of tumours. In Phase III trials in HIV-negative people with liver cancer, sorafenib was able to extend survival by an average of three months compared to placebo.
Researchers have found that people of Asian ethnicity do not respond as well to sorafenib as people of European descent.
There have been no large-scale clinical trials of sorafenib in people co-infected with HIV and HCV. In an attempt to partially remedy this situation, researchers in several Italian cancer centres collaborated in an analysis of sorafenib in HIV-positive people with liver cancer who were co-infected with HBV and/or HCV. They found that out of 27 participants, 50% were still alive a year after the initiation of sorafenib.
Researchers reviewed health-related data collected from 27 participants between 2003 and 2010. The average profile of participants when they began therapy with sorafenib was as follows:
The diagnosis of liver cancer was based on one of the following:
Sorafenib was prescribed at a dose of 400 mg taken orally twice daily. Treatment continued until the tumours grew or spread or until severe side effects occurred.
On average, the time between diagnosis of liver cancer and initiation of sorafenib was 31 months.
Participants were monitored for at least eight months after receiving sorafenib or until they died.
On average, 50% of participants survived for 13 months after initiation of sorafenib therapy.
Initially, 15 patients had tumours that responded to therapy. Specifically, in three cases the tumours shrank, while in 12 others they did not grow or spread to new locations.
However, tumours usually resumed growing or spreading an average of five months after sorafenib had been initiated.
Common side effects were as follows:
Severe side effects occurred in the following numbers of participants:
To manage side effects, doctors temporarily reduced the dose of sorafenib or temporarily suspended therapy.
Skin reactions were more likely to occur in participants with mild or moderate liver dysfunction.
There were no significant changes or even small increases (so-called blips) in viral load among participants. This suggests that exposure to sorafenib did not significantly decrease the concentration of ART in the body. There was a small decrease in CD4+ counts during therapy with sorafenib.
As formal drug-drug interaction studies were not done, researchers cannot be certain that such interactions did not occur. For instance, it is unclear if side effects were intensified because the concentration of either HIV medicines (such as protease inhibitors) or sorafenib increased.
The present study is retrospective in design, and such studies looking back at data are prone to potential biases when researchers attempt to interpret the data. Also, there was no control or comparison group. However, this study is the largest report to date of sorafenib in HIV-positive people co-infected with HBV and/or HCV. It provides a foundation on which a more robust study can be designed to assess the impact of sorafenib or similar anti-cancer drugs in HIV-positive people. Hopefully, in such future studies, earlier administration of sorafenib after a diagnosis of liver cancer will occur.
