colombia: The Colombian-inspired 'Ugly Betty' is cancelled
ABC has informed the series that its fourth season will be its final one, according to Entertainment Weekly.com.
Ugly Betty's ratings went into decline after its big opening season and accelerated when the show was assigned a Friday berth, a virtual death sentence, at the start of this season. A recent shift to Wednesday in an attempt to resuscitate ratings failed.
The producers were told of the cancellation early, EW reports, so that they could create a suitable final episode, which is likely to air in April or May.
But fear not, the Colombian presence in US sitcoms is not over. Sofia Vergara announced on 'Lopez Tonight' that her hit show 'Modern Family' has been picked up for a second season!

If the US show was even a little bit like the Colombian one it would probably still be going

The American one was awful.
I watched the original in Colombia when it first came out, and it was suprisingly funny.

Very true, Bill!
Posted on January 28, 2010
I think she is cute.
Posted on January 28, 2010
What really bothered me about the US version is that they made her character Mexican-American instead of Colombian-American. I found that to be very disrespectful since Betty is a Colombian creation, it's as if Colombians can't have any positive portrayal on US television!
But at least Sofia Vergara's character is Colombian on 'Modern Family' and not Mexican, Puerto Rican or Cuban which is what all hispanics are pigeonholed as in Hollywood... that was a pleasant surprise.

You need to call out the other countries that also copied Betty La Fea and made her of the local flavor as well.
Plus, you need to have a word with the Colombian owners that sold the rights to Betty La Fea without having a clause in the contract to maker her Colombia.
Then there is the fact there are more Mexicans in the states than Colombians, to insure a higher viewer count.

''You need to call out the other countries that also copied Betty La Fea and made her of the local flavor as well.''
The US is a country of immigrants with a sizable hispanic population, the other countries are not. I can see why a Colombian Betty would seem out of place in the Russian or Indian version. How many Colombians live in those countries?
And yes, Betty's creator Fernando Gaitan (he also wrote the hit telenovela 'Cafe con Aroma de Mujer') should have insisted that she be Colombian in the contract!
''Then there is the fact there are more Mexicans in the states than Colombians, to insure a higher viewer count.''
So do only Mexicans live in the US? Do the rest of us Latinos not count? No sea tan lambon! And it's not like this was a Univision show, I could see them doing that since they only cater to Mexicans....but this was on ABC, which means it's geared for a mainstream (Anglo) audience and I don't think that having her be Colombian instead of Mexican would hinder them from watching.
Posted on January 28, 2010
The Original Betty La Fea was shown in Univision.
The thing is Mexicans have a far larger population and have been in the country for a lot longer than Colombians.
Anglos relate a lot better to Mexicans, because there are more of them around.
Latinos do not view themselves as just Latinos. They are Colombians, Puerto Ricans, etc. So they simply catered to the larger demographic to insure the highest ratings they could.
It was simply a business decision and more than likely part of the contract.
Posted on January 28, 2010
She is the exex. producer. That is why the character is Mexican.
Posted on January 28, 2010
On the greener side of news, it would be one less show IôÇd have to try to keep on with... LOL
Episodes on Megavideo, and likes, are difficult to find

''The Original Betty La Fea was shown in Univision.''
Flatline, if you going to attempt to argue any topic related to Colombian pop culture with me, make sure you have your facts straight first. The original Betty la Fea was first broadcast on Telemundo back in 2000. After Univision saw the ratings monster it became and the opportunity it missed, they regretted not having bought the rights for it so they bought the rights to make the sequel, Ecomoda. Unfortunately, the geniuses at Univision decided to remove much of the Colombian humor from it to make it more ''international'' by adding a Mexican lead character and removing our Colombian slang from the dialogue. Well, it justly bombed! Since then the original 'Yo Soy Betty la Fea' has been re-aired twice on Telefutura, which is owned by Univision but is a seperate channel. Univision only aired the awful Mexican version, 'La Fea MûÀs Bella'.
''Anglos relate a lot better to Mexicans, because there are more of them around.''
While (US)American's might have more knowledge of Mexico due to it being the next door neighbor, to state that they ''relate better'' to one group of latinos over another sounds almost racist. And you know very well that many Anglos do not even differentiate among Latinos...to them we're all the same.
Posted on January 28, 2010
I was in Colombia when Betty La Fea first aired and saw the entire run when it first shown. So there is little doubt I saw it before you did.
I should have remembered correctly, since it has been a decade, Telemundo aired Betty La Fea in the States. I get them confused as most latino tv is utter crap.
I have lived all over the US, I do not think you have. The majority of most Latinos are Mexican, and do to their great numbers, people tend to know more about the Mexican culture than they do all latins. It is not be being racist, it is stating a fact.
And when I said relate better, I should have said have a better understanding of Mexican culture than other Latins.
Maybe you should go after the creators of Pedro el Escamoso for having the lead of the show not being Colombian.
Posted on January 28, 2010
I think gringos relate better to Mexicans, because Mexican food is far superior compared to Colombian food.
Posted on January 28, 2010
''Maybe you should go after the creators of Pedro el Escamoso for having the lead of the show not being Colombian.''
Miguel Varoni may have been born in Argentina but he was raised in Colombia and has lived there most of his life. Once he opens his mouth you know he's Colombian and not an Argentine.
Posted on January 28, 2010
Robert Jorge, that's just your opinion. IMO it's the other way around.
Posted on January 28, 2010
It never had a chance ! I liked the show but the time slots killed it
Posted on January 28, 2010
I actually like Colombian food better also Simon. I just had to break your balls a little since Clavo isn't around much.
Posted on January 28, 2010
I thought you were getting on Monpirri's case.
Posted on January 28, 2010
He he Robert Jorge, pretty slick.
Posted on January 28, 2010
Monpirri and I are in agreement when it comes to Colombian food Des. I could live on various Colombian soups alone, and be quite content.
Posted on January 28, 2010
aaawwww too bad. I loved that show. So cute.
Posted on January 28, 2010
Simon.....I felt the same way when they gave the part of Selena to J-Lo, who can't act and personality-wise is the complete opposite of what Selena was.
Posted on January 28, 2010
I have to admit Robert Jorge you confused quite a bit with your first comment, but overall you have an epicurian taste and it has not being compromised yet, not even to please the political arena lol.
Colombian food rocks!
Posted on January 28, 2010
"Anglos relate a lot better to Mexicans, because there are more of them around."
You are dead wrong. Mexicans basically own all the Spanish TV networks in the USA so they feed the US with their biased programming and consequently every dumb viewer belief that there is only ONE Hispanic country in the world.
But thanks to the success of the Colombian novelas the major TV stations in the states began to allow Colombian soap operas to sporadically reach the US audience and mostly via Telemundo, although Telefutura has also joined the market to broadcast Colombian productions in the USA.
Thanks goodness to Direct TV I do not have to watch 24/7 Mexican novelas, the soccer matches and the other super boring stuff.
Anyway, Univision always wanted to be the leader of the TV industry in the state, at any cost, and since they turned down to show authentic Colombian programming in the states, they began to copy and change all the great scripts so they could continue to feed their audience with a new dish, ã??Colombianã? novelas with a high overdose of enchiladas on it.
The new and ã??brilliantã? contracts occasionally use Colombian actors to keep anyone from whining!
Posted on January 28, 2010
Telemundo, one of the largest latin networks is Puerto Rican owned.
Monpirri, my statement was that there are more Mexicans than any other latin group in the states. And that is the truth. And in the US people are more accustomed to Mexicans due to their large numbers.
The larger group, the better the understansding will be.
People in the US do not believe that that is just one Hispanic country in the world. Do not be absurd. But the US has Mexico on it's borders, and business do cater to the larger demographic. There is no Mexican television conspiracy, and no one has their foot on the Colombians neck.
Plus, to really undertand many of the jokes in Betty, you have to be Colombian.
It is simple business. Cater to the largest demograhic. If a station is Mexican owned, and they realize there largest customer base is Mexican, then they will cater to them.
The original Betty La Fea was an amusing soap opera without any real depth.
Telvesion and cinema have been retelling the story of the Ugly Duckling for years and Betty La Fea was hardly the first.
Posted on January 28, 2010
Dude, you love to move your jaws but do not have the facts! I can tell that you do not know the story of the Spanish Television in the US and I am not going to discuss this stuff with you because I do not have the time now. I however recommend that you do a thorough research on the subject.
Posted on January 28, 2010
''Telemundo, one of the largest latin networks is Puerto Rican owned.''
Telemundo is owned by NBC!
''and no one has their foot on the Colombians neck.''
You certainly try to do this every chance you get!
Posted on January 28, 2010
Monpirri and Simon,
Telemundo was started in San Juan Puerto Rico. It has changed hands several times over the years, but for many years was mostly Puerto Rican.
Are you saying that Mexicans are not the predominate latin group in the states? That has been my point this entire time.
I worked for two very large companies that did marketing feasibility studies on the latin populace, and the end result that the most profatibility in latin markets would be by catering to the Mexicans. Because they were the largest block and spent the most dollars.
Are you saying Betty La Fea is not an Ugly Duckling story?
I might not know all the details of the "history of latin TV" in the states. But I do know that marketing dollars are not going to be spent where the money isn't.
The money is marketing to the Mexicans, not the Colombians, Haitians, Ethopians, or whatever tiny group someone is a part of.
I could give a shit about Spanish TV history, but I do know marketing. Which you have avoided responding to.
Posted on January 28, 2010
I understand the economics reasons as to why Mexicans are catered to and I'm sure Monpirri does as well, but does that mean that everything that is Latin on US television has to be mexicanized?
Why don't you move to Mexico since you seem to think they're so much more important than Colombians?
Posted on January 28, 2010
Colombians always have a problem with Mexicans. Why? Mexico is the most important Spanish-speaking nation and Colombia is just another one of those countries somewhere down in South America. No one in the US knows anything about Colombia and they don't want to know anything about Colombia. Mexico is right on the doorstep like it or not and Mexicans are all over the US. Hell I used to think Colombian food was something like Mexican food but since then I've found out that it's tasteless and uninspiring.
Posted on January 28, 2010
If Mexico is so important, then what are you doing are on a forum about Colombia? Oh, that's right, you're just trying to be a troll and get a rise out of us. But we know you can't live without Colombia. Loser.
Posted on January 28, 2010
I never said I thought Mexico was more important than Colombia. That is just putting words in my mouth.
And when I was speaking of television, I was speaking of the Spanish channels. Not US television in general.
I would also venture to guess that in Colombia, the majority of novelas and shows are Mexican and Venezuelan. Because from what I see on TV here is exactly that.

Isn't Puerto Rico part of the US? Hence, Puerto Rican owned would be US owned?

Coogler begins the film with grainy cell-phone footage of what appear to be cops lording over a group of handcuffed men, and the antagonism between the groups grows violent. Immediately after that, we are introduced to Oscar in bed with Sophina as the two have a conversation about how committed he is to her. With this one intimate scene, Coogler establishes his lead character's emotional makeup. He's volatile, both quick to anger and quick to love, but not in a cartoonish way. Jordan has the ability to turn on a dime emotionally and then turn back within a single scene, and it's a riveting performance. He's helped greatly by the rest of the cast, who all act as if they are used to this behavior from Oscar. When he gets mad, he's not threatening; he's just upset and they know he will cool down.
Not much happens during the movie's first hour aside from a nearly documentary-like presentation of a day in Oscar's life, during which he helps throw a birthday party for his mother, tries to convince his ex-boss to rehire him, and goes to San Francisco with his girlfriend for a fun New Year's Eve. However, the last act of the film returns us to the scene presented in the opening images, and as those moments play out, Coogler's achievement becomes apparent.
Fruitvale Station feels like Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing, if Lee's major influence had been John Cassavetes instead of Vincente Minnelli. In 60 minutes we get a full portrait of what Oscar's life is like, and we understand what he has to overcome -- both internally and externally -- in order to become the person he wants to be. The events at the end of the movie remind us that tragedies happen on a daily basis, and they can happen to anyone at any time. It's a picture that could easily and rightfully dwell in righteous anger, but Coogler has much deeper goals. He's made a film that, with a low-key style that gets under your skin, poignantly affirms the difficulty, beauty, and preciousness of life. leave a comment --Perry Seibert

Entrepreneur Hopes to Make Digital Media Marilyn Monroe's Best Friend
Having recently paid in the neighborhood of $50 million for the rights to the image of Marilyn Monroe, Toronto businessman Jamie Salter has big posthumous plans for the one-time star of Some Like It Hot and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
He tells Canadian Press reporter Victoria Ahearn that he has no doubt Monroe will, within the next couple of years, magically re-materialize on screen to star in a Hollywood movie:
Salter said his company is talking with Creative Artists Agency to represent them as they try to incorporate Monroe's likeness into digital media. He wouldn't divulge names but confirmed that he's "had conversations with some pretty big movie people in the last couple of months and there's definitely an interest."
"We really felt strongly that the digital game is going to change these dead celebrities," said Salter.
Salter's New York based firm Authentic Brands Group is partnered on the Monroe front with Anna Strasberg, widow of Monroe's late acting coach Lee. He intends to keep Monroe's likeness away from the tacky souvenirs world, just as he has for the creative licensing of another property, Bob Marley.

The City of Lakewood Sustainability Plan will guide our community in our effort to integrate economic prosperity, social equity, and environmental health. Last fall the City of Lakewood hosted five public open houses. We gathered ideas, shared information and learned about a variety of sustainability related topics from guest speakers and educators. The second phase of the planning process involves a series of work groups on 6 different topic areas meeting between February and October of 2014. The work groups will be comprised of City staff, industry experts, interested citizens, and other community stakeholders. The work groups will be asked to develop goals and action steps including identifying key community partnerships, potential programs, and policies.
Please be aware there are two separate processes for the Comprehensive and Sustainability Plans.

Just my helpful hint of the day
JBean - thank you for this tip. I'm still learning my way around here
OKAY - back to chloroform. I read in the other thread much discussion about whether or not the maggots and flys would survive under chloroform and it seems the general consenus it that they would not. BUT would they survive if they were in the plastic trash bag? It seems to me that the maggots were in the trash bag that was thrown away.
I think this is a key issue as to when the chloroform was used.
I'm pretty sure it was said there were flies in the trunk, that escaped when trunk was opened at the tow lot. I did a forum search and there are many references, but I don't have a link the original statement.
Probably not release by LE, however, I wonder what context CA's computer searches took.
When conducting an online search, wouldn't most people try to limit the results by narrowing the search parameters? If so, her queries would indicate how she intended to use it, for instance, in some specific manner: sex, cleaning, incapacitating, etc.
So - if bugs would not have survived the chloroform, then the chloroform was put in the car after the tow yard, right? This would lead one to believe that there was chloroform at the Anthony home and that GA &/or CA used it to try to clean the trunk stain?
Interesting and thank you both, Friptzap and treeseeker for responding.
If the flies and maggots were alive and Chloroform kills flies, maggots and bugs, then wouldn't that mean that the Chloroform was introduced to the trunk after it was picked up? Bug spray/insect repellent contains Chloroform, I think GA sprayed it in the trunk to kill the maggots, flies, etc...
Chloroform has been an "illegal" substance since 1978ish. Doesn't store well. So the chance of anyone having this 'sitting' around is slim to none.
Thank you my WS family for everything you do, everyday. You are loved and appreciated.

25 to LiFE - Sentenced 6/17/11
jmho as always
I remember it being reported that Cindy asked LE if they wanted anything before she got in the car.
I don't remember any reports about anything other than the decomp smell which was reported by Cindy, the Tow Guy and LE.
But if maggots and flys could not live in chloroform, then when and how did it get in the car? AND who would try to clean the car with such chemicals knowing they have basically been outlawed to the general public. AND when did Casey do the searches on her computer. Really skews the timeline.....
If I understand the timeline, CA called police late at night on July 15th. It was after hours and after the local police station was essentially closed for the night. Part of her call was asking for an alternate location to bring her daughter to. The car and everything was seized as evidence later in the day on July 16th (I think). I assume the earlier part of the day was when LE were driving KC around as she lied to them about Zanny and Universal, etc.
Now there seems to be a bigger block of time between when George abd Cindy picked up the car, and the initial 911 calls. Somewhere in there they found Casey, She and Mom were online. George was out? Lee was called in. Just a bit confusing and muddled. Also somewhere in that block of time is when G and C supposedly moved and looked under the playhouse themselves. So who knows what they did to the car during that period?
I think LE rushed to judgement in the JonBenet case and I think they are making too many assumptions on this one. Leave no stone unturned and keep an open mind. Caylee must be found----either dead or alive. We all need to know what happened.
Chloroform fumes can be created by mixing bleach with an antibacterial soap/detergent. Back when this was first being discussed I did a search on harmful reactions of cleaning agents to see if it could possibly be an answer to the cholorform presense.
To me, it is a strong possibility that CA could have been trying to clean the trunk to get rid of the smell/stain. It also would be the answer to why the maggots/flies were not affected since it happened afterwards. It may also be an answer to the search that was done on the computer. If the reaction was noticable to whoever tried to clean the trunk they may have looked up the reaction of mixing the cleaning agents and chloroform showed up in the ANSWER to this research.
I once mixed bleach and ammonia together and it like to have knocked me out. I looked up what the reaction was and found out it was harmful and to never, ever do it again.
Just throwing out a possibility.

If anyone has doubts that someone would actually drug a child, they should read the link in this article. The two women that were raising this child drugged this child while the were looking at a time share property in Kissimmee, near Orlando.

Are We Living in a Police State?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
What does a police state really look like in practice in America? Is it the cartoonish dystopia of sci-fi books? Is it like 1998′s "The Siege" which predicted a wholesale instatement of martial law? Or in the age of the drone-wielding police department, is it something more mundane and subtle yet nonetheless pernicious? From this city in the middle of middle America, it looks like the latter.
When people think of Denver, many think of skiing and, since the last election, marijuana. But from here in the Mile High City, things seem a bit different. In the day to day operation of the city, we aren't as much defined by snow and pot as we are by the fact that we live under the rule of an increasingly brutal police force. It is a police force that our political leaders are more than happy to deploy to punish undesirables, and worse, that the most powerful media organ is more than happy to defend.
We have become, in short, a national cautionary tale – one that no doubt epitomizes similar trends throughout the country.
This sad situation has been long in the making. Over the last decade, while then-mayor John Hickenlooper was gaining national plaudits for his geek-scientist charm, he was overseeing a police department that has become so violent toward citizens, that the U.S. Department of Justice is now considering a formal civil rights investigation. In all, a Cato Institute studyshows that in terms of official misconduct, Denver's police force is the sixth worst in the entire country.
The highest profile incidents tell the bigger story.
For instance, after the 2008 Democratic Convention, Hickenlooper's administration was forced to settle a lawsuit showing evidence that he ordered his police force to engage in "indiscriminate arrests."
In 2011, new mayor Michael Hancock joined with now-Gov. Hickenlooper to become the first government officials to sic riot-gear-clad police on peaceful Occupy Denver protestors, thus turning the State Capitol grounds into the visual definition of the term "police state."The episode included firing tear gas and rubber bullets at unarmed citizens.
As a followup, rather than initiating a formal investigation into the police, the Denver City Council then passed an ordinance empowering police to arrest homeless people, effectively criminalizing poverty in the middle of a recession and foreclosure crisis. Meanwhile, as the police department continues to reinstate officers who have been caught brutally beating citizens, the department's independent oversight office is so flooded with brutality charges that it cannot even process them all.
Considering this, you might think that the state's largest newspaper, The Denver Post, would be sounding the alarm. But quite the opposite has happened – it has used its monopoly power to cheer on the police state.
That's not entirely surprising, of course. The paper is owned by archconservative Dean Singleton who, as I showed in a recent Harper's magazine report, is a 21st century caricature of Citizen Kane. In recent years, his editorial page has been so over the top in its vilification of his political enemies that an outsider couldn't be faulted for assuming the paper is an Onion-esque satire.
For instance, there was the infamous front-page editorial vilifying then-Gov. Bill Ritter as Jimmy Hoffa for merely allowing public employees to unionize. There was the editorial insisting that the criminalization of homelessness was designed to help the homeless. And there was the constant attacks on Occupy movement culminating in one editorial praising police for forcibly crushing the protest and then another telling those who want to protest government policy to simply "go home."

It has rained, literally every day for over a week. It's Summer
time in Florida. I guess that's to be expected. Personally, I find
the rain a little bit depressing. BUT, the temperature has dropped
and that has been absolutely lovely. Autumn in Florida is always a
little touch and go. I say we have 2 seasons here: Summer, and not
quite Summer. While the leaves don't change, sometimes the
temperature does shift, and it eventually stops raining.

We're getting back into the swing of things after boards, and
settling into the tri. It's so weird not having classes. Part of me
feels like I must be skipping things, or somehow not showing up --
that I should be studying for a quiz or doing a project or
presentation -- but I don't have any to do. It's just bizarre.
Of course I still have work to do for the Master's program, but
that's a lot less involved than going to classes all day, every
day. Speaking of the Master's...I just finished finals for another
quarter there. I have only 2 left; 2 quarters left, and less than 2
trimesters left here. I honestly can't believe it. I'm not sure
whether I believed it would never happen, or that it just seemed so
far away that it was out of my realm of comprehension.
Our 10th trimester mentor, Jen, is making plans for graduation.
Yesterday we were talking about hotels and plane tickets and how
soon graduation is. It was a bit of a wake-up call.
A bunch of us have been doing some outreach with the clinic. SPC
has had a blood pressure initiative going. They're installing
automated blood pressure cuffs in many of their facilities. It's
helpful for people to keep track of their blood pressure. We've
been explaining normal ranges and what people can do to not only
keep track, but also to improve.
Julia, Dave, Ricky, Leslie, and Jen have gone, some twice, and
given a talk and been on hand to help. I'm excited. I get to go in
2 weeks. We'll see what happens. There's been some good
Everyone is talking about where we go from here. People are

I'm recovering from near brain-death. In case you missed it,
last weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) a group of us took
boards: Physiotherapy, Part II, and Part III. I wish I could say it
was 3 days full of fun-filled magical awesomeness, but I think you
guys know me well enough to know I'd be lying through my teeth.
We all survived the weekend, in large part due to the support we
gave each other. Julia was my right-hand this weekend. She made me
study when I didn't want to, go over questions, and made sure I got
out of the hotel room on time (and didn't get lost too badly
getting back and forth from the hotel). Ricky and Alid were the
humor for the weekend. The four of us (including Julia) and two of
Alid's friends from Palmer, went for dinner after PT. I honestly
thought we would be kicked out of the restaurant, we were laughing
so hard. It was just what I needed to keep me going another
It was great to see the smiling faces of people we've taken
tests with before from other schools, and also of each other. Kind
words of encouragement were given by so many. Leslie, Bryan, Julia,
Alid, Theresa, Ricky, Roshaun, and Dave: My huge thanks to you guys
for keeping me going this past weekend -- even if you didn't
realize that's what you were doing.

It was a weekend fueled by caffeine and lack of sleep. We
learned how little sleep we could survive on, how many questions we
could answer in a short period of time, and how much caffeine was
required to take an exam at 7:00 a.m. We were laughing at each
other and our test-taking strategies, how long it took to finish
certain exams, and how much we were stressing about something
really and truly out of our control.
Boards are interesting, because you've been studying for them
all along. There's really nothing to "cram" for, and yet we cram
every time. Of course, it doesn't hurt to refresh memory on what
we've not seen for a couple of years even. Part I, last year, was a
test of the basic sciences. While these were more clinical, the
basic science stuff just doesn't go away. There's always something
that didn't get covered, that we haven't heard before, or that
we've never seen. There are questions on every test that make no
sense, and like all standardized test, more than enough
opportunities to overthink something. I've always been baffled at
how any exam in medicine can be made into a "Multiple Guess" test
-- when everything we do in medicine is completely essay.
But, we survive. No! We endure. And however the scores come out,
they come out. We'll take them as they come.

In other news, clinic is in full swing. At the HEC NUHS Student
Clinic, we are BUSY. We've been seeing sports physicals and regular
patients -- several every day. As the term gets underway for the
SPC students, we'll be seeing less of some sports physicals, and
more of others. I believe we're serving at least 3 different sports
teams now -- so there will be no shortage there.
I'm finishing up a quarter for the Master's program at UWS.
Finals are this week. Hard to come back and tackle that after last
week. But I'm SO looking forward to two weeks off with no pressing
studies. Next quarter with them starts in a few weeks with Sports
Nutrition and Fitness, Gastrointestinal Imbalances, and
Oxidative/Reductive Dynamics and Energy Production. Sounds like a
Have a Great week, Everybody!!!!
"Don't you
love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I
would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your
name and address. On the other hand, this not knowing has its
charms." -- You've Got Mail
I always loved this quote. It reminds me of growing up and going
to get school supplies in the fall. Things were a WHOLE lot
different then. The seasons changed; things got a little crisper, a
little clearer, and somehow a bit calmer.
Welcome Back, Everyone!!!!
I must admit, the last 5+ weeks have absolutely flown by. I
honestly don't know where the time went. Between break and the
first two weeks of clinic, it just kind of vanished. *poof!* I
learned something new over break: singular tasking. I know; you
must be asking yourselves. "What is she talking about?" I am a
notorious multi-tasker. It annoys people to no end how I'm always
doing multiple things at once. But, I made a concerted effort, to
simply sit and do one thing at a time over break. It was weird; I
will admit. But it was also interesting. I tried to relax, focus on
what I was doing (or not focus on what I was doing), and it almost
became meditative for me -- no matter what task I was involved in.
I'm hoping to do more of that in the future.
We're back in clinic and we've got a new classmate that's joined
us from Lombard. (Your loss, Lombard -- Leslie is great!) And we've
also been joined by a new crop of now 8th trimester students --
some of which started out in our original class, but have been
5-track students. It's good to be back together again. I'd
forgotten what a good crew we were. Next week will be the first
week that we're all seeing patients together, but during the
preliminary workshops and orientation, I can tell that they're all
going to be amazing!
Our students have separated into the two different clinics. For
those that aren't familiar, we have two clinics in Florida -- a
more student-based clinic at the
Caruth Health Education Center, and a more public-based clinic
in Pinellas
Park. Our student-based clinic treats students, faculty, and
staff for NUHS and St. Pete College. Our public-based clinic treats
people from the public, but also some faculty from NUHS and
students and faculty from St. Pete College. We're BUSY!!!!! It's
been really odd having lost half of our classmates. It's a lot
quieter when the 8th trimester students aren't in the office, but
also, everyone that we've been around, every day for the last 2+
years (depending on when they joined us), isn't around any longer.
It's been very different.
That having been said, I LOVE the crew that's I'm at the clinic
with now. Everyone is fantastic. They work VERY hard, and we all
seem to work very well together. Even though we've already been
here for 4 months, it's still a period of adjustment, especially as
we get more and more responsibility. I'm looking forward to seeing
how things go.

While we've been working in clinic, we've also been trying to
study for boards. Most of us are taking Parts II, III, and
Physiotherapy this coming weekend. It's a LOT to study. This is the
first time that I've felt extremely unprepared for boards. I think
it's because too much of a good thing is just too much. I've got
more board study materials than I had for Part I -- probably triple
the amount of materials. We were told that there is such a thing as
over-studying for boards. I don't feel like I'm there yet; I have
quite a ways to go. Here's hoping I make more headway before
Friday. I'm pretty nervous.
But, we will go, and we will fill in bubbles and say prayers and
hopefully things will work out.
As things get closer and more boxes are checked and things
crossed out, I get more excited, and a little bit more scared. But
it's all a great adventure.
Have a great week, everyone!
Do not go gentle into that good
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end
know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they

Good men, the last wave by,

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the

Boy, did the end of this tri sneak up on me. I'm not kidding. I
looked up and it was Week 13 and I had to start scrambling to get
everything done. Now, here we are in Week 14 and the scrambling
continues. It's the end of Tri 8. The End. Of Tri 8. These are the
last finals that I have to take for this program. We're all to the
point where we're fed up, tired, and so over all of the projects
and papers and quizzes and exams and practicals. I've heard talk
from a few people about giving up. I really have. It's not out of
the realm of comprehension to just throw your hands up in the air,
take a different path, and just go quietly into the night. But we
won't, because we've come too far and done too much work. We can't
quit now. It's just not an option.
In Doctor-Patient Relationship class today, we were talking
about lobbying, the ACA, the ACC, and a few other organizations. We
were talking, not just about what we're doing here, but what we're
hoping to accomplish -- the bigger picture. We've been tasked with
writing down where we want to be in 5 years -- not just what we
want to be doing professionally, but personally. I can't imagine
what life will be like in 5 years -- where I'll be, what I'll be
doing. It seems so far away, and yet I know time will fly (just
like this Tri did). I wonder if the face of medicine will change --
whether our scope will change across the board, whether we'll have
prescribing rights in more states, or whether we'll continue to be
segregated like we have been. A lot can change in 5 years -- 5
years ago my life looked dramatically different. I never thought
I'd be where I am now, doing what I'm doing. It's pretty amazing
how things can change.
I know, though, what I'll be doing for the next 9 days:
studying. So with that in mind, I'll keep this brief and to the
point. Study hard, boys and girls. Get your work done; finish your
projects. Check the check boxes and fill in those dots. Share some
gratitude and compassion with your classmates and even your
instructors. This is the last time we go down this Path.
As a "going away" for this Tri, I found another little park
tucked back somewhere in Gulfport while Grey and I were driving
around. Photos in this post courtesy of Grey.
Good luck on exams everyone. Have an amazing and restful
The trimester is coming to a close, and I can honestly say it's
flown by. We're all scrambling to meet deadlines in the clinic:
this many of this, that many of that. It hardly seems that about 12
weeks ago we were terrified we'd be horrible at this. Truth be
told, I didn't think anything about deadlines and numbers and
paperwork (OK, well I did think about paperwork a little bit).
That's probably why I'm scrambling now.
The last couple of weeks have been discussions about who is
transitioning to the other clinic, and some talks about where we'll
end up. Half of our crew is moving to the other clinic. It's
unlikely that I'll see them very often. Perhaps we'll have seminars
or training sessions of some sort, or get together outside of
school (although we don't do that now). But in a few weeks, there
will be another big transition for all of us. Some of us have been
together, nearly every day, for about 3 years. This will be
something really new.
Newness. It reminds me of my theory about Maslow's Hierarchy
from last week. Incidentally, I've been working some more on that,
but I'll spare you all the details. I had the pleasure to discuss
it with two of my fellow interns today, the concept of new ideas.
We were talking about my theory, and about other theories -- things
in medicine and science that seem to have been left behind. We were
discussing the idea that there are no new ideas.

"There is no such thing as a new
idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put

I grew up not far from good ol' Mark Twain's stomping grounds,
but between you and me, his writing always made me crazy. No matter
how much I tried, I couldn't understand the dialect he wrote. I'm
not sure that I agree with Mark; it seems we're discovering new
things all the time. From god particles to medicines, we strive and
learn how to change, adapt, and understand the world around us.
If the last 12 weeks in the clinic have taught me anything, it's
that we have no standard approach to treating anything. We have to
be willing to come up with new ideas, or at the very least, new
applications for old ideas. For every patient that comes in, even
if they have the "same" diagnosis, what works for each one of them
is likely to be something completely different.
I'm fairly certain that our discussion today came to the
conclusion that there has to be something new. There has to be a
pursuit of Science that crosses boundaries into new territories,
that bypasses the need for a randomized controlled trial of
everything, and simply embraces discovery for the sake of
discovery, and implementation for the benefit of the whole. Perhaps
we're all idealists. I see no problem with that. Being idealistic
just promotes my love of the field and my hope for making a

It takes a lot to make a new country your home. For someone who helps people with relationships, it can be bittersweet even when pursuing your profession with a passion.
In the Profiles Series, we look at another one of the fascinating people who make up the University of Louisiana at Monroe -- Dr. Jana Sutton.
Dr. Sutton is a native of Bishop Auckland in England, but has been living and working in the United States since 1994. She's now the director of Clinical Services for Marriage and Family Therapy at ULM.
She speaks of loving her work, the contrasts between living in the U.S. and England, and why both countries and their traditions are important to her.

Who would have thought that people could actually live in a home that is only 1 square meter (just under 11 square feet). With a philosophy that "Everybody should have their own house, with a window and a door. And it should stand wherever you want," Le-Mentzel created the One SQM House.
The square meter of space is at the bottom (so it doesn't include the vertical space); but the makeshift home has wheels and can be towed along with you through to train stations and carried along on the go. To work as a nap shelter of sorts, a small business or lo and behold: a home. Fitting in with Van Bo's vision of setting up shop wherever you please, there are several Berlin based hostels that rent out lawn space for a euro each night.
The best part about the One SQM house? You can build it out yourself, and Le-Mentzel spells it out via his website.

The patience of the "embattled" Hazel O'Leary is a clear reason to cheer and award her many "Thank you's" before her December departure.
I was the head of an office in the now defunct Energy office in Washington about 35 years ago. She came in as my replacement. We talked some and she left impressions of her leadership and thinking within me ever since. Her diversified career and achievements since then have been an interest of mine ever since.

Plus I like how they spliced in footage from his documentary at the end.

Miguel Malvar
(1865 - 1911)
Miguel Malvar was remembered in history as the last Filipino general who surrendered to the Americans. He was born in San Miguel, Sto, Tomas, Batangas on September 7, 1865. His parents were Maximo Malvar and Tiburcia Carpio. Miguel was the eldest among three children.
Malvar came from a wealthy family. He could have studied in Manila but he had to help his parents managed their properties and workers. He even had to stop schooling to concentrate on the family business. He was only able to finish second year high school.
In 1885, he married Maula Maloles, a childhood friend.
He was attending some business transaction in Manila when he learned of the secret society founded by Andres Bonifacio. He joined organization because he believed in what it was fighting for.
When the revolution started off and reached Sto. Tomas, Batangas in August 1896, Malvar gallantly led a group of men who fought with the Spaniards. They attacked and took over Spanish garrisons.
He directed the uprisings in Indang, Bailen, Magallanes and Alfonso at Cavite. He was appointed Commandaing General in Batangas on March 31, 1897 because of his skill and bravery.
The signing of the Pact of Biak-na-Bato ended the hostility between the Spaniards and the Filipinos. The Spaniards surrendered Manila to the Americans on August 13, 1898.
However, the attained peace was short lived. Another uprising threatened the freedom of the Filipinos had just started to enjoy. Malvar once again gathered men who were willing to offer their for the country.
In May 1899, the Malvar Batangas bridge was directed to attack an American garrison in Muntinlupa. They succeeded.
It was only in January 1900 when Malvar's Army suffered defeat from the Americans. They endured continuous defeats, hunger, fatigue, ailments and lack of arms. His men started to get sick. Being a humble leader, Malvar, his loyal followers and their families laid down their arms together and surrendered to the Americans for the sake of his men. This was April 16, 1902.
Since then, Malvar lived as an ordinary farmer with his family. He died on October 13, 1911.

Flags can be useful communication tools for sailors
Updated On: Feb 21 2013 12:31:30 PM EST
Flags are useful tools for sailors. They can be used to signal for help if needed.
Signal flags are used to communicate messages between boats when they are unable to radio each other. Each flag has a specific meaning. The position of the flag can also alter the meaning of the flag.
Some flags can let other boats know if they have a diver in the water to let them know to use caution in the area. Some flags can also let sailors know if they boat is distressed or in need of help.

EAST GREENWICH — The jobs are there. Rhode Islanders with the necessary skills aren't.
U.S. Rep. James Langevin (D-R.I., 2nd District) and two local business leaders brought that message to New England Institute of Technology Monday as they promoted President Barack Obama's latest job initiative, to provide two million people with training leading directly to new jobs.
"I was pleased that the president challenged our country to close the skills gap," said Langevin, who brought Erin Flynn, NEIT's director of admissions outreach, to Washington, D.C., last week as his guest for Obama's State of the Union address.
"But I'm disappointed when I hear we hire people but struggle to find Rhode Islanders to fill those jobs," Langevin said.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEDATE: February 3, 2005 CONTACT: Don T. Forse, Jr. (512) 463-0102
The following is an op-ed piece by State Senator Robert F. Deuell, M.D. (R-Greenville) and James Grotta, M.D. Professor of Neurology, University of Texas-Houston Medical School Director of Stroke Program, Memorial Hermann Hospital, Houston Chair, Stroke (TexAS) Force
Imagine waking up tomorrow morning, and not being able to speak or take care of yourself. You are unable to communicate with your spouse, children and friends. Simple tasks like driving, dressing yourself and walking are difficult or impossible. Imagine all of these skills suddenly gone, with no warning.
You have had a stroke, and in addition to your routine daily activities, perhaps a piece of your dignity has been taken from you. Your life has changed drastically - that is, if you survived. For close to 70,000 Texans each year, this is their reality.
A stroke is a blockage of blood flow to the brain, the result of either a clogged or ruptured blood vessel. Stroke is not only the No. 3 cause of death in Texas, but also the leading cause of serious long-term disability in Texas. Stroke survivors experience paralysis, muscle weakness, difficulty speaking and swallowing, blindness and memory loss.
In addition to the terrible toll strokes take on individuals and their families, strokes place a huge financial burden on our state and nation. In 2002, hospital charges in Texas totaled more than $1.5 billion, with about two-thirds of those charges being paid by Medicaid and Medicare. Strokes cost Americans more than $51 billion annually, in both medical expenses and lost productivity. The taxpayers are the ones who pick up the tab for these and many ongoing expenses related to necessary rehabilitation and nursing home costs.
Receiving timely emergency care is absolutely critical to stroke survival and recovery. Earlier this week, State Sen. Robert Deuell filed Senate Bill 330, the Texas Stroke Act.
The Texas Stroke Act will encourage the creation and designation of primary stroke centers, dedicated hospital units that have the available resources, personnel and equipment to effectively diagnose, evaluate and treat strokes and any associated complications 24 hours a day. Stroke facilities should be designated in accordance with national standards approved by the Joint Commission on Accredited Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). Considered the "gold standard" of stroke care, JCAHO evaluates stroke care provided by hospitals using criteria developed in conjunction with the American Stroke Association. Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston is one of the first hospitals in Texas to receive JCAHO certification, and the stroke team looks forward to continuing to offer consistent, quality care to stroke patients.
In addition, the Texas Stroke Act will strengthen local emergency triage and EMS training. Once a hospital receives JCAHO certification, the local EMS Regional Advisory Council chair should develop a stroke triage plan that includes treatment and transportation protocols. Training certification and continuing education requirements should be enhanced for EMS personnel regarding stroke treatment procedures.
The American public does not recognize stroke as an acute emergency event, and this lack of awareness presents a major obstacle to fighting stroke, disability and death. Upon experiencing stroke warning signs, taking immediate action is critical. For instance, if given within three hours of the start of symptoms, a clot-busting drug can reduce long-term disability for the most common type of stroke. In addition, controlling high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, not smoking, regular physical activity and controlling diabetes can help reduce an individual's risk of stroke. To increase public awareness of stroke risk factors and prevention, warning signs, diagnosis and treatment, the Texas Stroke Act encourages the creation of a public awareness and education campaign.
A grants program to help provide incentives to hospitals to become primary stroke centers is included in the Texas Stroke Act. The Rural/Underserved Needs Grant will support hospitals in rural areas seeking JCAHO certification. In addition, the Primary Stroke Center Grant will provide resources to hospitals preparing to pursue certification and will encourage the mentoring of other hospitals.
Prevention, detection and quality care are key weapons to be used in the fight against stroke in Texas, and the Texas Stroke Act would go a long way toward achieving these goals. Training medical professionals on how to best treat stroke victims and educating the public about the importance of preventing and recognizing stroke will reduce deaths and improve outcomes for stroke victims across the state.
Chances are, you or someone you love has had a stroke. If not, consider yourself fortunate. Let's hope that, if that day comes, you have access to rapid response and the best in stroke care that the Texas Stroke Act seeks to provide.

RELEASED: April 9, 2008
EAU CLAIRE — "The Wizard of Oz" (U.S. 1939) will screen April 17-20 at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
Each day's 6 p.m. presentation will feature the original soundtrack of the MGM Technicolor film. The reprise screening at 8:30 p.m. will present "The Dark Side of Oz," with the original soundtrack replaced by Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon." The film will be shown in Davies Theatre.
Judy Garland stars as Dorothy Gale, a young Kansas girl who, with her dog Toto, is whisked by a tornado into the magical land of Oz. Directed by Victor Fleming, the adaptation of L. Frank Baum's children's classic won Academy Awards for its original score (Herbert Stothart) and Harold Arlen's song "Over the Rainbow." The 101-minute film is rated G.
"The Dark Side of Oz" (also known as "The Dark Side of the Rainbow" or "The Wizard of Floyd") is the effect of watching "The Wizard of Oz" while listening to Pink Floyd's 1973 concept album, "The Dark Side of the Moon." Since the synchronicity was noted in the early 1990s, fans have compiled dozens of instances of perceived interplay between the film and the album.
In July 2000, Turner Classic Movies broadcast "The Wizard of Oz" with "The Dark Side of the Moon" simulcast on the SAP audio channel.
"Why is this being done?" asked the Boston Globe. "The eerie matches between soundtrack and film are said to be mind-blowing, with more than 80 coincidences, including: the swells of the tornado match the ebb and flow of the music; 'Brain Damage' plays as the Scarecrow sings 'If I Only Had a Brain'; a heartbeat sounds as Dorothy tries to hear the Tin Man's heartbeat; the cash register sounds that begin 'Money' signal the movie's change from black and white to color. Oooo! Former Pink Floyd bassist-writer Roger Waters has called all this rubbish."
Admission is $2 for International Film Society members and UW-Eau Claire faculty and staff and $1 for UW-Eau Claire students. Tickets are available at the Service Center (715-836-3727) in Davies Center's east lobby and will be sold at the door.
The screenings are sponsored by the University Activities Commission of the Student Senate.
