Learning by Teaching
Why do you like to teach?
The level of research and professionalism displayed by a recent class truly impressed me, and made me realize how wonderful it is to teach motivated students. I believe that ultimately the success of a class has as much to do, if not more, with the students, then with the teacher.
What do you learn from teaching?
At a certain point in your legal career you realize that you are practicing in a certain style, and doing things just because you "think" you know what you are doing. By teaching, you find you have to break down nearly every assumption and choice you routinely make, and re-evaluate it. While that process can sometimes be scary, it is ultimately beneficial. I approach teaching as a way to learn my field and legal area better, and hopefully impart knowledge to the students. As part of that process, I always welcome comments and criticism from students on how to better explain the course materials.
Where do you work?
I am an attorney at FrankGecker, LLP a seven-attorney firm focused primarily on corporate bankruptcy matters. My legal specialty areas are bankruptcy law, real estate law, and generally knotty-thorny legal problems that might encompass multiple areas of law. Prior to becoming a lawyer, I worked as a paralegal for a personal injury law firm handling asbestos-related lawsuits.

(WMC-TV) - A teenager shot in the neck outside the North Frayser Community Center is in non-critical condition as police continue to search for the shooting suspect.
The bullet ricocheted off of a wall and hit the 17-year-old man as he stepped outside to make a phone call.
One community leader says the shot was fired in a gang rift that need not have come to a head at the community center.
Joe Hunter operates a non-profit anti-gang initiative called Gang, Inc.
"I feel disrespected, that's how I feel. I'm from the streets and they disrespected me," said Joe Hunter, Gang Inc.
The shooting happened while a gang outreach program was going on inside.
Hunter says he had no idea they were coming to the community center and he feels he could have possibly stopped the violence by offering helpful advice if he had been alerted beforehand.
"Why leave me out? One of my friends put it this way, 'You got Michael Jordan and you put him on the bench on purpose. Something's wrong with that,'" said Hunter.
The anti-gang initiative is called the 901 Bloc Squad. It is funded by the City of Memphis.
"I mean, if our own children cannot go to a safe haven known as a community center where in the world can we go," said Memphis Mayor A C Wharton.
Mayor Wharton says Hunter and his organization may be part of a solution that requires input from many different angles.
"I know Mr. Hunter real well. There's enough for everybody to do," said Mayor Wharton. "We're gonna work with anybody who has a product or a service that will help us on this. We need all hands on deck."
Hunter says his hands have been firmly on deck for years at the North Frayser Community Center.
Police say at last check the teen remains hospitalized in non-critical condition.
No arrest have been made in the shooting.

"A very simple, classic design! I had 3 sets of photos that I was considering for the card...a sporting event, a black tie event and a graduation. I had a hard time deciding which to use as this design works with everything! I am very happy with the finished card and received great feedback."
"We were very happy with our order!! The quality of the card was fantastic!! The website is easy to use, there are a lot of choices in each category, the layout choices are good."
"I chose Tiny Prints because of their user friendly website, a variety of layout choices, and excellent reputation. I was not disappointed in my choice. The cards arrived quickly and the paper quality is excellent."
"This was such a lovely card! This year our family decided to send a new years card instead of a Christmas one. I'm so glad we did - we received lots of compliments - the faux glitter effect was fun and I loved being able to choose between different accent colors (Black or red). The card is a great weight, as are the envelopes. They arrived quickly - I couldn't be happier."
"This card is perfect if you have a super cute or sweet photo of babies, children, or pets. I used a closeup shot of my client's adorable bulldog puppy! The card was a big hit! I chose a semi gloss finish to give it an extra pop. I paid extra to print a return address on the envelopes to save time. My only suggestion when ordering would be to check the box for designer review. That takes a couple days to get it back so you can look at it before it is printed. I was in a hurry and opted to go straight to print but I was a little disappointed when the cards arrived. The photo was a little too dark. I am a photograher and had a quality image with good lighting but when it was printed it cane out darker than I expected. I've never had that problem before. I always choose tiny prints because the quality of paper and designs are simply the best!"

News: 50 Cent Rates Jay-Z's 'Magna Carta' LP, Reacts To Hov Changing RIAA's Certification
Tuesday, Jul 9, 2013 3:05PM
G-Unit head 50 Cent is the latest hip-hop artist to give his two cents on rap mogul Jay-Z's new Magna Carta Holy Grail solo album and applauded Jigga's decision to push boundaries.
In Fif's perspective, Jay had no choice but to take his music up a notch and not resort to his old style of tunes.
"You can't be afraid of change. I think the old way of doing things is not gonna work, but then you gotta create a plan for a new way. How are you gonna do it?" The RIAA changed their rules and says they will immediately count those sales toward the album's platinum certification, while it will appear that Billboard will not count those "bulk" Samsung sales toward their albums chart -- meaning that if Jay is to eventually earn a #1 spot for MCHG he can't do it off the back of those first 1 million sales. Fif, who has built a reputation as a shrewd business man and successful mogul himself, doesn't side with Jay or Billboard, but suggests that the main thing that matters is the financial gain behind the deal. "I don't think you can take anything away from it -- that idea," he said. "If you can take something away from it, the money was still made." (MTV)
A few days ago, Jay's former business partner Dame Dash reacted to the new release.
"In the barber shop listening to jays new album....I can't front... I still like hearing him pop shit cause I know he's telling the truth...proud to be be a part of that..#bittersweet," Dash wrote on Instagram July 5. (Dame Dash's Instagram)
Contributing producer Timbaland has even crowned this LP Jay's best work to date.
"This is the best Jay-Z album thus far... I told [Jay-Z], all The Blueprint albums, those were good, but this is your first big album for the new millennium," Tim said in a video. "This is hip-hop at its finest -- it's gonna change hip-hop. Y'all gonna get in your car and be like, 'This is a good a** album.'" (Revolt TV)
Last month, 50 Cent could not fully ride behind Kanye West's new Yeezus album.
"Some of the joints on the new joint that Yeezy made, I wasn't into all that," 50 admitted in an interview with DJ Whoo Kid. "One time, the beat didn't come on. [The screaming on there], it was creative. He came out of nowhere with that. If you see something that looks like it's foreign -- we'll see if people can adjust to it and really enjoy it or if it's too different. There's a point where creative is well past your mark. You did something that's so far out that your audience can't hear it. Be careful what you say because it might work." (Shade 45)

1. Evo Morales and Socialism
"Evo, what do you and the MAS understand by 'socialism,'" I asked him, when I was invited by the Executive Committee of the Bolivian Labor Central (COB). "To live in community and equality," he answered. "Fundamentally, in the peasant communities they have socialism. For example, if we speak of land. I come from the ayllu of the Department of Oruro. Clearly, where I live at this moment, in the East in Chapare, there are no ayllus. It is individual parceling, and there arise very serious problems, because it leads to small holdings, which you don't see in a peasant community where the land is communal."
"Does the socio-economic model of the MAS resemble more that of Lula, Cuba, or Hugo Chávez?" I insisted. "I believe it is something much deeper," he answered. "It is an economic model based on solidarity, reciprocity, community, and consensus. Because, for us, democracy is a consensus. In the community there is consensus, in the trade union there are majorities and minorities.
"Inside this official democracy of Bolivia they do not respect the thought, sentiments, and the sufferings of the national majorities. And within this framework we are seeking a communitarian socialism based on the community. A socialism, let's say, based on reciprocity and solidarity. And beyond that, respecting Mother Earth, the Pacha Mama. It is not possible within that model to convert Mother Earth to merchandise. In Bolivia with the agrarian reform it is better to be a vaccinated cow than a human being. For a vaccinated cow there are 25 hectares and for a human being there is nothing."
2. Indigenous Peoples, Workers, and Change of the Vanguard
Evo's differences with the indigenous leader Felipe Quispe are well known, therefore I asked him: "Are there discrepancies with the Indigenous Movement Pachakutik (MIP)?" "No," he said, "there are no discrepancies. It is clear they demonize the whites a little. They tell us that we deputies are 'faces' (the whites — H.D.), but no, the relations are good."
I came from an event of the Movement for Participatory Democracy, from Peru, a long debate with Major (ret.) Antauro Humala and his etnocacerista movement, on the possibility of transformation of the Andean countries. Antauro, at present in prison for the failed uprising against Toledo, could regain liberty if his brother, Lieutenant-Colonel (ret.) Ollanta Humala — second in the electoral preferences — wins the presidential elections in April this year. He had spoken positively of Evo and of the incipient contacts with the MAS. Evo confirmed that "they invited us to bring the message of this movement of peasant communities. Because the MAS, as a political instrument of liberation, had not been created by political ideologues or a group of intellectuals, but by peasant congresses to solve the problems of the people."
In this context, he makes an interesting comment on the transition of the vanguard in the Bolivian struggle. "The workers of COB always said in their congresses that the Indians would carry the workers to power on their shoulders. We were the builders of the revolution and they were the masters of the revolution. Now things have changed and intellectuals and workers are joining us."
3. The Socialist Roots of the MAS
To understand the political character — or "class", as they said in the seventies — of "Movement to Socialism," it is necessary to take seriously Evo's definition that the MAS, as a political instrument of liberation, "was not created by political ideologues or by a group of intellectuals, but by peasant congresses to solve the problems of the people." It is not a question of the Bolshevik Party of Lenin or the Communist Party of Peru of Mariátegui (1928), with a clear socialist — that is, anti-capitalist — program and intention.
In fact, the letterhead of the Movement to Socialism was adopted not for ideological motives but for practical reasons of electoral registry. Worse for the purists, the letterhead comes from the political Right, from a split from the Bolivian Socialist Falange, the Unzaquista Movement to Socialism (MAS-U) which had joined with the incipient cocalero movement. When, under the pressure of electoral facts, a registered Party was required, the first part of the letterhead of MAS-U was used.
In these circumstances, without socialist genesis, without socialist theory, what remains as socialist potential in the Bolivian transformation and its leader Evo? The answer is simple: the ethical roots of socialism: solidarity with the masses, the fervor of social justice, and the honesty of political praxis.
4. The MAS and Historic Bolivian Socialism
Historic Bolivian socialism reached its maximum splendor with the famous Thesis of Pulacayo (1946), in which class-conscious trade unionism defined the proletariat (miners) as the vanguard of an anti-capitalist revolution in pursuit of the dictatorship of the proletariat. This historic project of the Trade Union Federation of Mine Workers of Bolivia (FSTMB) counterposed itself not only to the "cooperation of classes," which the Bolivarian Socialist Falange (FSB, 1937) proclaimed, but also to the petty bourgeois nationalism of Paz Estenssoro and the National Revolutionary Movement (MNR) and the diverse variations of developmentalism and military socialism of David Toro, Germán Busch, and Gualberto Villaroel who were born from the cradle of Bolivarian modernity, the disaster of the Chaco War (1932-1935)
Facing this defeat, the Armed Forces took political power and the Joint General Staff convoked the formation of a Junta to "orient the nation toward a prudent and gradual state of socialism . . . which would establish a regime of social justice in Bolivia." Colonel David Toro (1936-1937), first de facto military president, named his government "Military Socialist Revolution" and believed — like Perón, later, in 1943 — the Ministry of Labor and Social Planning decreed the termination of the concessions to Standard Oil in Bolivia and founded state-owned gas and oil company Yacimientos PetrolÃferos Fiscales Bolivianos, as Yrigoyen had done in Argentina in 1928.
Major Bosch, who followed him in government, declared that, "I did not arrive at the presidency to serve the capitalists. They must serve the country, and if they do not do so voluntarily, they shall be made to do so by force."
Evo Morales is not part of this Latin American developmentalist or "socialist" colonelism — which includes Prestes and Vargas in Brazil, Perón in Argentina, Torrijos in Panama, Arbenz in Guatemala, Velasco Alvarado in Peru, Torres in Bolivia, and, in a certain sense, Hugo Chávez in Venezuela — whose significance is even less understood in Latin American history than civil deveopmentism (Yrigoyen, Prebish, Arévalo. Allende, etc.).
Nor does it have roots in the Bolivian Stalinism of the Party of the Revolutionary Left (PIR) and its "revolution by stages" — "it is necessary now to work for a bourgeois-democratic Bolivia, for a progressive Bolivia, and then, gradually, we will arrive within some twenty years at socialism, and within fifty or a hundred years at the dictatorship of the proletariat" (1946) — nor the Trotskyism of the Revolutionary Workers Party (POR), nor in the great achievement of the mining proletariat, the Thesis of Pulacayo.
5. Advantages of Being an Orphan of Socialist History
Being outside these historic currents, however, could be more advantageous than detrimental for Evo Morales, because all have shown in practice that they did not serve to transform the country. The Stalinists of the PIR conspired with the oligarchy and imperialism against the developmentalism of Lieutenant Colonel Villaroel, as they did in Argentina against Perón, and they hanged him in Plaza Murillo. The Trotskyists, who had 70 years proclaiming to be the legitimate heirs of Lenin and Marxism, had their great opportunity to demonstrate it in the revolution of 1952, and failed ignominiously. And the national small bourgeoisie, the MNR. which capitalized on the popular revolution, quickly turned it over to the gringos, to make a pact with the putchist Banzer afterward and convert themselves into the neoliberal hangmen.
6. The MAS: Bourgeois Democracy or Socialism?
The MAS is not a vanguard party but an alliance of heterogeneous groups, reminiscent of certain "Amerindian," anti-Leninist, and anti-imperialist groupings of the American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA), founded in 1924 in Mexico by Haya de la Torre, of the "spiritual socialism" of Arévalo, of the "Christian socialism" of Hugo Chávez, and of the anthropological-philosophical nucleus of the "third position" of Perón.
Alvaro Garcia Linera, ex-guerilla, prisoner, and Evo's vice-president, expresses it with clarity: "We are not against the free market. We are partisans of a socialist model with a Bolivian capitalism, where the earnings of the hydrocarbons would be transferred to other sectors, like the rural, where our people still work with the Egyptian plow that the Spaniards brought.
If we translate the formulation to a more precise language, we have to say that we are treating with a model of third-worldist Keynesian developmentalism, that is, a market economy with a strong developmentalist and protectionist function of the State, within a bourgeois political superstructure and an environment of abysmal neocolonial socio-economic destruction.
Evo and the MAS do not inject, at this moment, a new socialist dynamic to the Regional Power Block (BRP) of the Patria Grande [Latin America], but they contribute to the integration of the BRP the most combative popular, proletarian, and indigenous and element of Latin America. This is a counterweight of enormous importance against the white-elitist societies of Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Brazil and their respective governments. In his personality profile, Evo is close to Hugo Chávez, particularly in his honesty, anti-imperialism, and organic link with the masses and indigenous peoples. In this sense, the meetings of MERCOSUR, like those of OAS, will not be the same from now on, because the Venezuelan president will no longer be the only active force which pushes the other presidents.
7. Evo, the Candidate of MERCOSUR
Evo as President is an "endogenous product" of the struggle of classes in Bolivia. But, some years ago, he was detected by the political radar of President Castro. It is known that the clinical eye of President Castro tirelessly scans the horizon of the Patria Grande to detect who might be the future leaders of its nations. Hugo Chávez, hardly released from prison, appeared on the monitor of the Caribbean leader, who received him with the honors befitting a statesman. Lula, Jose Dirceu, and Evo were detected early, and they successfully proved the foresight of the Comandante.
In the last year and a half, Evo has already converted himself into the de facto presidential candidate of MERCOSUR of the Regional Power Block (BRP). To be presidential candidate of MERCOSUR has important advantages of protection and promotion, but also profound implications for Latin American politics. One of the implications is the following.
8. MERCOSUR, Electoral Path, and Revolution
The presidential candidates who have the support of the BRP respond to the conviction of all the Presidents of this block, that the time of armed revolutionary struggle and of worker-peasant governments is past. The commentaries of Fidel in reference to the FARC have been very clear, like the position of Commandante Chávez, who said in a recent encounter with Alvaro Uribe in Santa Marta: "we want the armed movements to pacify themselves."
Lula, Kirchner, Tabaré, and Duarte, of course, are completely in agreement with this position of support for bourgeois legality and the seizure of power by institutional paths. To be more precise: they would not support any other path, and without the support of Brazil, Argentina, and Venezuela, no national popular Latin American revolution today could consolidate itself. In this case, Perón's celebrated phrase is fitting: "United, we are unconquerable; divided, we are indefensible."
The strategic decision of all the Presidents of the BRP for the nstitutional path — which generates a serious problem for the FARC — played a key role in the great dilemma of 2005 in Bolivia: an armed uprising in the style of the 1952 revolution or the taking of power by the electoral path. The new (post-miner) leadership of the COB, headed by Jaime Solares, and some popular sectors, for example from El Alto, together with the traditionally obscure and sectarian positions of the Mallku [Prince] Quispe, want the popular uprising. All the presidents of the BRP insist on the institutional road. Evo went by this road and triumphed. There weren't the objective conditions to defeat the military and consolidate themselves in government. To try to repeat the exploit of 1952 would have brought a senseless slaughter. It would have been an operation of adventurism or something worse.
The great significance of the triumph of Evo is the Regional Block of Power. A decade ago, his victory would have changed nothing in the Andean nation. Today, with the implementation of certain social programs of Cuba and Venezuela, the solid economic support of Venezuela, the political protection which the BRP provides, the riches of gas, and the support of the majorities for the project of the MAS and its leader, there exists the possibility of breaking the cycle of fifty years of exploitation and misery.
9. The MAS and the Future of Socialism in the BRP
In all ways, the position of Evo and Garcia reflects the political and economic status quo in the Patria Grande. The BRP is a confederation of bourgeois states (superstructures), with the exception of Cuba, with different types of market economy and a historic project of Latin American developmentalism, within the ideology of Bolivar. Within this bourgeois macro system exists the Venezuelan aspiration to create a socialist civilization of the twenty-first century and a vigorous discussion in Cuba on the possible future of historic Cuban socialism. What doesn't exist is a socialist economy. Neither is there a socialist superstructure. Nor the "socialist will" of Lula, Kirchner, Tabare, and Duarte, nor mass movements, nor socialist structures.
In such a situation it would be preposterous to hope or ask that the MAS convert itself into a socialist vanguard which would pull Latin America to post-capitalism. The concept of Latin American socialism today, with the exceptional paths of Cuba and Venezuela, is an evolutionary idea which provides the strategic horizon of the mass struggles and of the progressive leaders of the Patria Grande.
To endow this evolutionary idea with a solid scientific and popular base for the Latin American nation, as President Chávez has done with his insistence on the economy of equivalences and participatory democracy, is the fundamental task of all real and potential anti-capitalists. Among them are Evo and the MAS.

The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.

Couple left waiting months for telephone connection
11:10am Wednesday 6th February 2013 in News
A COUPLE living in a new housing development in Droitwich Spa have been left without telephone and internet connection since they moved in.
Ann and Richard Hunt, who live at the Bovis Homes development at Harrison Park, off Worcester Road, have still not been connected by BT despite requesting a landline installation in October last year.
Mr Hunt, who moved into the estate with his wife on December 14, 2012, said he contacted BT on October 26 in order to arrange for the landline to be set up.
However, after a delay, the couple were then told the service could not be installed because no lines were available. BT also advised Mr Hunt that there is an on-going problem with the telecom ducts along Worcester Road.
He said: "Despite being without either a telephone line or broadband connection BT has still a managed to bill us.
"As we were expecting BT to connect us on December 21, 2012, we included this telephone number when sending out our Christmas cards. The number was also provided to several other organisations, including banks, doctor and dentist when we notified them of our change of address.
"What has made it even worse is that BT has managed to connect the telephone number at the exchange, along with the 1571 service included in our order. Since that date, numerous friends and family have advised that they have left messages. As these cannot be accessed by us, we were unaware that they had tried to telephone us."
Despite numerous visits from contractors to try and resolve the issue, the pair are still without a connection nearly four months after their original request.
A spokesman from BT said: "It has taken much longer than we would normally expect to connect Mr Hunt due to a number of factors.
"As it's a new line, around 100 metres of new underground cable is required to provide telephone service at this address.
The first stage of this work has taken longer than normal to complete. Engineers encountered a number of technical issues which have caused further delays, including underground blockages in the ducting that serves Mr Hunt, as well as delays caused by the recent bad weather.
"The next stage in the digging process is due to start later this week, and we hope to have the new cable in and connected soon afterwards."

Even after taking into account Christmas, New Year, recent poor weather and now saturated ground? Oh and the several issues BT engineers have faced laying the 100 metres of new line?
Surely, with BT having such a bad reputation, Mr Hunt would have waited until he knew the phone was connected before giving the number out. Or, as Guy suggested, have it diverted. Mr Hunt could have bought a cheap mobile for under £20.

I really don't understand why people feel the need to run to the WN when things go a little wrong in their lives.
At least we were spared the 'stare at the camera and look glum' picture this time.
Small mercies, I suppose.

We already know Frank Martin is one of the most, if not the most, animated college basketball coaches in the land. On Saturday, Martin and Texas head coach Rick Barnes were snapped in moments of emotions, and when the two shots are combined they create a hilarious scene.
And Barnes returns fire.
Just for fun...

Our family loved this, yum! Has the right amount of salt to no overpower the flavor of the onion. We also used this batter to deep fry fresh green beans, also excellent, seriously!

My family loves this recipe. We use milk or beer instead of water for a richer flavor. We also use it for our fried chicken over breading the chicken. This is a wonderful recipe.

Left out the baking powder...didn't have any. Turned out fast and pretty good too.

Six months ago on September 2, I posted a blog here titled "Locked Out Denver Bronco Football Addict". There were some excellent responses on the article then. I am re-posting that article now that the dreaded event has happened and hope many of you will update your thoughts and feelings on the issue. Here is the re-post:Locked Out Denver Bronco Football Addict Tweet
I am primarily an Denver Bronco FOOTBALL ADDICT. I spend hours searching for and reading all that I can find about my mountain mustangs. I keep stats on my favorite players. My weekly NFL television time catches everything the standard TV channels broadcast. Have thought about signing up to get all the games on the NFL Channel. I wear my "colors" if I go to a local sports bar to catch the Sunday action. I use to own three season tickets in the nose bleed zone in the North stands at the old Mile High Stadium. Almost died when I lost them around a divorce. I repeat, I AM AN DENVER BRONCO FOOTBALL ADDICT.
Sounds like an open confession from one of those anonymous substance abuse groups. But, like any junkie, I put my self in a place of subservience to my supplier. In this case the NFL.
What's the point you ask? Here are a number of them:
1. Will the NFL lockout the players next year and produce a season manned by second class ability players and force myself and my fellow NFL addicts to accept a "fix" that has been "stepped on" but with the fix still carrying a full "pure" product price?
2. With this year being free of salary cap rules,you would have expected rich teams to go on a spending spree to bring in free agents and nail down their existing premium players. For the most part it didn't happen.
3. If regular players are financially squeezed by a non payday lockout 2011 season, they might just be tempted to jump out of the NFLPA and bargain individually with the teams to play for a pittance of a re-negotiated salary just to keep the roof over their families heads.
4. Next year, will the NFL blame the players union for a "hard nosed" attitude in negotiations as reason for the lock out season? And will that be the precursor to a NFL team united front to "break" the NFLPA and thus increasing their "bottom line" through payment of lower player benefits,pensions, and salaries across the board? And in an inflationary time like now, the owners profits will multiply while applying a financial headlock on the players.
As a DENVER BRONCO ADDICT I understand that the owners and management sit at the top of and currently control the issue. I also understand that the owners would not be where they are WITHOUT the class players who have put them there over the many seasons. Class players equaled a first class football product over the years. Who paid for it? I did, and all my fellow pro-football addicts.
I hope the gloomy scenario doesn't happen, but if it does, please support those that make the game we love possible; the players. Help support the NFLPA financially next year and boycott the games as a message to the owners to be open to a fair sharing of the profits and openness in negotiations. Bronco addicts are you with me on this issue?

Greystone Research Associates is pleased to announce the publication of a new market study. Injectable Drug Delivery to 2016: Drugs, Devices, Therapies, Markets and Forecasts is a comprehensive evaluation and analysis of the technology, products and participants providing the driving force behind this evolving segment of the drug delivery sector. The study is designed to provide drug company decision makers, drug delivery developers, device designers, healthcare marketers, and supply chain participants with a detailed understanding of the economics, technologies, disease segments, and commercial opportunities for injectable drugs. Provider organization business managers, healthcare administrators and investors will also benefit from this study.
The past decade has seen a dramatic shift in terms of the types of approved injectable drugs, the diseases they target, and the devices used to deliver them. This shift has fostered change on several levels of the healthcare sector. The injectable drug segment has seen a marked increase in the level of drug/device integration, as prefilled syringes and specialized injection devices proliferate in response to safety and economic challenges posed by recombinant protein drugs, while administration of injectables has moved increasingly from practitioner offices and healthcare facilities to patient homes. This report examines the key therapeutic, product, market and regulatory factors for injectable drugs across ten major disease and therapeutic classes, providing essential insight and forecasts into the implications of this evolving landscape.

Dana Thomas started her career on the other end of the educational spectrum--she worked with college students.
"But then I felt like God kind of called me into teaching the younger ones. For years I worked with a children's choir at our church and just really developed a passion and a love for that age group", she says.
That love lead her back to school for more degrees and more tools to teach. Now she gets to watch her first graders here at Euchee Creek change every day.
She says, "It's a lot of routine and you have to have a good work ethic. So we have seen them grow just tremendously. "
Today they're growing their reading skills with a lesson on blending.
"It's where we have students identify letter sounds. And not only say that this sound is whatever this sound is, but have them blend those sounds together in order to form words and that is the foundation for good reading for students, they have to be able to blend those sounds together and create and form words and be able to read words."
Congratulations Dana Thomas. A bright light in a world that, in light of recent headlines, she will never take for granted.
"It just makes me thankful and appreciative of the responsibility that I have with these young lives. Each and every one of them, they are precious. This is a job that I absolutely cherish and love."

Sunitinib or Cediranib for Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma

- How to Read a Study Record
- Alveolar soft part sarcoma is a rare type of tumor that has a lot of blood vessel growth. Cediranib and sunitinib are two cancer treatment drugs that work by blocking the growth of new blood vessels. This may help to stop tumor growth. Some patients with alveolar soft part sarcoma treated with cediranib or sunitinib had tumors that either decreased in size or remained stable without growth for a long time. More research is needed to see whether these drugs can be approved as a standard treatment for alveolar soft part sarcoma.
- To test the safety and effectiveness of cediranib and sunitinib to treat alveolar soft part sarcoma.
- To determine the objective response rate of cediranib and sunitinib in patients with alveolar soft part sarcoma.
- Individuals at least 16 years of age who have alveolar soft part sarcoma.
- Individuals who have not received prior cediranib or sunitinib.
- All participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. They will also have blood and urine tests, tumor imaging studies, and biopsies.
- Participants will be divided into two groups: one group will start with cediranib and the other will start with sunitinib.
- During Part I of the study, participants will take cediranib or sunitinib by mouth once a day. They will continue this routine every day for 28 days (one cycle of treatment). They will stop taking the drug if the side effects become too severe or the tumor starts growing again.
- Participants will not have any cancer treatment for 2 weeks before starting Part II.
- During Part II, participants will receive the other study drug (cediranib or sunitinib). However, if one of the drugs is not effective or its side effects are too severe, participants will not receive the drug and will stop being in the study.
- Participants will be monitored with frequent blood and urine tests. They will also have tumor imaging studies and other tests.

Detailed Description:
- Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare, highly vascular tumor accounting for less than 1% of soft tissue sarcomas. There is no effective systemic treatment for patients with metastatic ASPS. Little is known with regards to relevant molecular markers as potential therapeutic targets.
- Cediranib (AZD2171) and sunitinib (SU011248), oral small molecule inhibitors of VEGF receptor tyrosine kinases, are showing preliminary evidence of activity in patients with ASPS.
- Part I: Determine the objective response rate (ORR) of single-agent cediranib and single-agent sunitinib malate in patients with advanced ASPS.
- Part II: Determine the ORR of cediranib in patients who progress on the sunitinib arm, and determine the ORR of sunitinib in patients who progress on the cediranib arm.
- Determine the progression-free survival (PFS) at 24 weeks for single-agent cediranib and
single-agent sunitinib malate in patients with advanced ASPS.
- Patients age greater than or equal to 16 years with histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic ASPS.
- Patients must show evidence of objective disease progression per RECIST 1 on scans within the 3-month period immediately preceding enrollment. Both scans used to determine disease progression should have been obtained within this 6-month period.
- Patients must not have received treatment with any VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (e.g., cediranib, sunitinib, pazopanib, sorafenib); however, prior treatment with bevacizumab is allowed.
- Part I: Patients will be randomized to receive cediranib (30 mg) or sunitinib malate (37.5 mg) orally, once a day in 28-day cycles.
- Part II: At the time of disease progression, patients will cross over to the other treatment arm after a 2-week wash-out period.
- Appropriate anatomic imaging studies will be performed at baseline and every 2 cycles for restaging.
- The study will be conducted using an optimal two-stage design to rule out an unacceptably low 15% clinical response rate (PR+CR) in favor of a modestly high response rate of 40%.
The study will initially enroll 10 evaluable patients in each arm. If 0 or 1 of the 10 patients has a clinical response, then no further patients will be accrued. If 2 or more the first 10 patients have a response, then accrual continues to a total of 22 patients in each arm.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|16 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Status Update: Patients enrolled after Amendment G (version dated 08/16/2013), will be evaluated and compared to the first 13 patients by the study statistician and the Principal Investigator.
- Patients must have histologically confirmed metastatic alveolar soft part sarcoma that is not curable by surgery. Diagnosis of malignancy must be confirmed by the department of pathology at the institution where the patient is enrolled prior to patient enrollment.
- Patients must show evidence of objective disease progression per RECIST 1 on scans at least 6 weeks apart within the 3-month period immediately preceding enrollment.
- Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as greater than or equal to 20 mm with conventional techniques or as greater than or equal to 10 mm with spiral CT scan.
- Any prior therapy must have been completed greater than or equal to 4 weeks prior to enrollment on protocol and the participant must have recovered to eligibility levels from prior toxicity. Patients should be at least 6 weeks out from nitrosoureas and mitomycin C. Prior radiation should have been completed greater than or equal to 4 weeks prior to study enrollment and all associated toxicities resolved to eligibility levels. Patients who have had prior monoclonal antibody therapy must have completed that therapy at least 3 half-lives of the antibody or 6 weeks ago. Patients who have received more than a cumulative dose of 350 mg/m(2) of doxorubicin may be enrolled at the discretion of the Coordinating Center PI after consultation with a cardiologist and if screening echocardiogram is normal.
- Patients must be greater than or equal to 2 weeks since any investigational agent administered as part of a Phase 0 study (also referred to as an early Phase I study or pre-Phase I study where a sub-therapeutic dose of drug is administered) at the Coordinating Center PI s discretion, and should have recovered to eligibility levels from any toxicities.
- Patients with no prior therapy are eligible, provided they have metastatic disease that is not curable by surgery.
- Age greater than or equal to 16 years. Patients age 16-17 years are eligible only if they have a BSA greater than or equal to 1.7 m(2) or weigh greater than or equal to 60 kg.
- ECOG performance status less than or equal to 2.
- Life expectancy of greater than 3 months.
Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
- leukocytes greater than or equal to 3,000/mcL
- absolute neutrophil count greater than or equal to 1,500/mcL
- platelets greater than or equal to 100,000/mcL
- hemoglobin greater than or equal to 9 g/dL
- total serum bilirubin within normal institutional limits
- AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) less than or equal to 2.5 times institutional upper limit of normal
- creatinine within normal institutional limits
creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 60 mL/min for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal
- QTc < 480 msec (with Bazett s correction) in screening electrocardiogram.
- The following groups of patients are eligible after consultation with a cardiologist and at the Coordinating Center PI s discretion, provided they have New York Heart Association Class II (NYHA) cardiac function on baseline ECHO/MUGA:
- those with a history of Class II heart failure who are asymptomatic on treatment
- those with prior anthracycline exposure greater than a cumulative dose of 350 mg/m(2)
those who have received central thoracic radiation that included the heart in the radiotherapy port.
- Patients must have blood pressure (BP) no greater than 140 mmHg (systolic) and 90 mmHg (diastolic) for eligibility. Initiation or adjustment of BP medication is permitted prior to study entry provided that the BP reading prior to enrollment is no greater than 140/90 mmHg.
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) greater than or equal to institutional lower limit of normal.
- Because sunitinib is metabolized primarily by the CYP3A4 liver enzyme, strong CYP3A4 inhibitors are not permitted within 7 days before and during the study, and strong CYP3A4 inducers are not permitted within 12 days before and during the study. Every effort should be made to switch patients taking such agents or substances to other medications 1 week prior to starting therapy, particularly patients with brain metastases who are taking enzyme-inducing anticonvulsant agents. Patients who require potent CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors and cannot switch medications must have their case reviewed by the Coordinating Center PI and may be enrolled only after discussion with, and agreement from the Coordinating Center PI. Current clinical studies with cediranib have not found clinically significant effects on cediranib PK with coadministration of CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors. Eligibility of patients receiving any medications or substances known to affect or with the potential to affect the activity or pharmacokinetics (PK) of cediranib will be determined following review of their case by the Coordinating Center PI.
- Both study agents have been shown to terminate fetal development in the rat, as expected for a process dependent on VEGF signaling. For this reason, women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to study entry. Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use two reliable forms of contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 2 months following study drug discontinuation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
- Patients who are nursing infants: because there is an unknown but potential risk for AEs in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with study agents, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with the study agents.
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
- Patients must be able to swallow whole tablets and capsules.
- Patients must not have received prior treatment with any VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (e.g., cediranib, sunitinib, pazopanib, sorafenib); however, prior treatment with bevacizumab is allowed.
- Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents.
- Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to entry into the study, or a surgical incision that is not fully healed.
- History of familial long QT syndrome, or use of medications that may cause QTc interval prolongation.
- Patients with a pre-existing thyroid abnormality who are unable to maintain thyroid function in the normal range with medication are ineligible.
- Warfarin and its derivatives are not allowed. Patient can be receiving low molecular weight heparin if clinically indicated.
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to hypertension, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- Patients with any condition (e.g., gastrointestinal tract disease resulting in an inability to take oral medication or a requirement for IV alimentation, prior surgical procedures affecting absorption, or active peptic ulcer disease) that impairs their ability to swallow, retain, and/or absorb the drug are excluded.
- Patients with any of the following conditions are excluded: serious or non-healing wound, ulcer; history of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra -abdominal abscess within 28 days of treatment; coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft or stenting within the past 12 months; or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack within the past 12 months.
- Greater than 2+ proteinuria on two consecutive dipsticks taken no less than 1 week apart or 24-hour urine protein of > 1 g. Patients with < 2+ proteinuria are eligible following initial determination by urinalysis within 1 week prior to enrollment and do not need the urinalysis repeated.
- HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for PK interactions with cediranib or sunitinib. Appropriate studies will be undertaken in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Sept. 20, 2010
Residents advised about wastewater bypasses in the Northland
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Water Services Department reports that due to storm related issues and mechanical failures more than 13 million gallons of wastewater was discharged into Todd Creek, First Creek, Shoal Creek and Second Creek Watersheds this past weekend.
Bypasses occurred at:
Todd Creek Wastewater Plant, 7600 NW 114th St.
Tiffany Lakes Pump Station, NW 108th Street, west of Skyview
Birmingham Pump Station, located at 11011 Birmingham Road
First Creek Pump Station, located at 10990 N. Wyandotte
The bypasses have been stopped.
"More than 5-inches of rain was recorded at our flood monitoring station at I-35 and Chouteau Trafficway Saturday night, " said Acting Water Services Director Terry Leeds. "This amount of rain and the large electrical storm may have contributed to the bypasses. Water Services staff will work to identify the issues that caused these overflows and make any necessary repairs or improvements."
The release of untreated sewage from sewer systems, such as this, is known as a sanitary sewer overflow and represents a potential threat to public health and the environment. Most of the overflows occur during wet weather events.
For more information, contact Colleen Doctorian, public information officer for the Water Services Department at (816) 513-0232.
The Kansas City, Mo., Water Services Department maintains and operates water collection, processing and distribution systems, stormwater management and control systems, and waste water collection and processing systems for residential and business customers in Kansas City and for wholesale customers in the Kansas City region. Operation is funded entirely by fees charged to customers based on their use of products and services, not by taxes.

The Patriots are no stranger to a shared backfield. Last season was a bit of an anomaly, as only two running backs were involved in the offense, and one of them rushed for more than 1,000 yards, the first time a Patriot did so since 2004.
BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead were revelations last season, combining for more than 2,000 total yards. Woodhead replaced Kevin Faulk as the team's third-down back and receiving specialist and Green-Ellis was a predominantly two-down back who excelled near the goal line en route to 13 TDs.
With Sammy Morris and Kevin Faulk nearing the end of their careers, the Patriots addressed the RB position in the draft, as expected, selecting Shane Vereen in the second round and Stevan Ridley in the third.
Vereen and Ridley complement one another the way Green-Ellis and Woodhead do. Vereen has similar skills to Woodhead with good receiving skills and Ridley is a slashing, inside runner.
The question will be, assuming Vereen and Ridley prove they are ready for the pro game, how Bill Belichick balances the backfield. He won't want to ruin a good thing, which is what we saw last season from Green-Ellis and Woodhead and the league's ninth-ranked rushing attack, but Vereen and Ridley give him options to keep defenses on their toes.
I expect each to spell the veteran they are most similar to. Ridley can give a different look in short-yardage and goal-line situations, and Vereen can appear on third downs. One thing you could see is both Woodhead and Vereen being on the field in certain situations, giving Brady an extra receiving weapon.
Belichick is a big fan of both the "The Law Firm" and Woodhead, and it's going to be a guessing game early on in the season how to best shuffle through his backs.
In a perfect world, one of two things could happen. Belichick could stick with what worked last season and give Vereen, Ridley and Faulk very few touches during the season, allowing the rookies to develop. He also might find niches that Vereen and Ridley possess, allowing them to work into the offense and give the Patriots more weapons than they already have. In 2008 and '09, the Patriots had at least four players rush for 269 yards or more. If the rookies are ready to go, there could be a similar type of split in production in 2011.
Belichick hopes he has one of those "good problems to have," in which Vereen and Ridley show they are serviceable rookies who deserve to be on the field. He would have no problem if the team didn't have a 1,000-yard rusher, there's a reason it had been six seasons since that occurred. In a best-case scenario, the Patriots have a very effective rushing attack to open the door for Tom Brady that can utilize all the talents Belichick has on his RB depth chart.
