Knoxville (WVLT) - The collision was violent. The in-cruiser video proves that.
Officer Donnie McClendon was driving on Magnolia, responding to a call on April 18th, 2004. The police investigation showed his emergency lights were on, but not his siren.
At the intersection of Beamon Street, he collided with a car driven by 58-year-old Jennie Watts.
Mrs. Watts died, her two nephews were injured.
More than three years later, McClendon was in court, now retired.
McClendon pleaded no contest today to three charges including vehicular manslaughter.
If he stays out of trouble for three years, it will be erased from his record.
Watts' family says that's fine with them.
Nothing changed today for Jennie's husband, Leroy.
"Goin' on with my life, missing, wishing. Whatever. But that won't change things either," says Jennie Watts' husband Leroy Watts.
As Leroy deals with losing Jennie, Donald McClendon deals with living. "If it could have been me, absolutely. I preferred it to be. You know, because I gotta live with this."
"This" is that Sunday morning in April 2004, as Jennie was on her way to meet Leroy at church when the police cruiser driven by the on-duty officer crashed into her car.
"I don't hold any resentment or hatred or nothing like that towards him. So what's done is done," says Watts.
Jennie was also the mother to a forgiving daughter.
"I know he didn't do it on purpose. I know it wasn't intentional. He made a bad choice that cost my mother's life and could have possibly cost my cousins' their life," says Sherineta Morrison, Jennie's daughter.
Sherineta says she's fine with the plea deal but knows that the biggest sentence one can have is what we have to live with in our hearts and minds.
"I'm just really wanting peace out of the situation for both sides of our family. So, I'm fine with it," she says. "I've had several people tell me that he wanted to speak with me and my family. And we're very much open to it."
She'd no sooner told us that when she put her words into action as her open arms signaled the beginning of forgiving and healing all in one embrace.
The sight of that embrace would lead one to believe that Jennie Bell Watts, the mother, wife and grandmother who was on her way to church that Sunday morning, is also at peace with this decision.

Texas Commercial Real Estate Looking Up
Austin ranked fourth, Houston ranked eighth and Dallas 12th out of more than 50 U.S. cities listed in the Price Waterhouse Coopers and Urban Land Institute's report Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2011. This annual forecast identifies the nation's hottest prospects for commercial real estate investment.
The report cited Austin as one of the nation's "brainpower bastions," and noted Houston's "intellectual capital and talent in the global energy business." Despite sagging retail and a soft real estate market, Dallas "remains an important intersection for global commerce," with Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport tabbed as the area's most important asset.

Title: An MDA Analysis of Settlers of Catan
Posted: April 17, 2006 (06:06 PM)
"Settlers of Catan" is a multiplayer board game where players must collect resources and build settlements to colonize the island of Catan. This is an MDA-analysis of the game, examining the Mechanics, Dynamics, and Aesthetic models of the game.
Mechanics: Long Setup – While I played the online version of Settles of Catan, I understand that the setup for the board game is quite elaborate. You have to arrange the land tile hexes, the island tiles around them, the numbers within the hexes, the robber, the ports, the appropriate resources and buildings to the respective players, and the exhaustive goes on and on…
Dynamics: Pre-Planning – After the elaborate setup, players will have to place two settlements and two roads on the board. They know that where they place them may make or break their chances at winning the game. So while the game is setup, players already begin to plan their strategies, paying careful attention to the prime locations on the board, places that have high probabilistic numbers, are on the borders of different land tiles, are near a port, and have wide open areas for expansion.
Aesthetics: Emotional and Time Pre-Investment – It takes about 10 minutes to coordinate and distribute all the units in the game. During that time, players will feel already invested, both time-wise (10 minutes) and emotionally (through pre-planning), even though the game hasn't started. Players begin to form their strategies - and intentions - before the dice are even rolled. Players are not only experience an ongoing emotional investment, but a pre-emotional investment.
Mechanics: Setup of Various Environmental Tiles – During setup, players must decide where to place, some randomly, each land tile and each water tile. The water and port tiles surround the land tiles, which are placed in the middle of the board and are comprised of forests, mountains, hills, plains, and pastures. Then, they place numbers on each land tile systematically using the special letter/number hex tiles.
Dynamics: Island Assembly - Players arrange tiles and numbers quite randomly onto the board. Players can achieve different layouts and actively assemble the island. In a way, player feel like they are a god, creating a different island for every game.
Aesthetics: Prologue & Freshness – Since there are so many ways to assemble the island, players will feel that each time they play the game is a unique experience. How the numbers and land tiles are arranged keep the strategies at least partially dependent on the layout of the board. This god-like feeling also initiates a prologue, the beginning of the narrative. Players feel like they are actually discovering a new island, with water surrounding a land with different environments, and they begin the make-believe of actually settling and colonizing the island of Catan.
Mechanics: Dice Roll – Players roll a pair of dice to determine player order and, more importantly, which resources are made at any one turn. Players who have settlements or cities that border a hex labeled with that rolled number gain appropriate resources from that hex.
Aesthetics: Odds-Centered Strategy - The random distribution of a 2D6 comes into effect. It invokes strategies that lead city and settlement placement, as hexes with numbers close to "7" (but not "7" due to the robber) have a higher resource-productivity rate. Players must take dice odds into consideration when expanding their territory, taking into account the quantity and variety of land tiles. The possibility of not gaining any goods during a round also provokes a "spend or save" decision. The choice to either save goods for a city or use them now for a road or a development card appears often. Also, since there are multiple hexes with the same numbers and there frequently are multiple settlements and cities that border a hex, production is shared amongst players. Often, more than one player produces goods on any given roll.
Aesthetics: Luck, Tension, Cooperation – Since resource production depends entirely on the fate of the roll, players never know whether they will receive the resources they need to attribute points. Some rounds will have them gain a wealth of goods while other rounds will have them produce nothing, and even possibly lose goods (if opponents use progress development cards against them). On top of the "spend and save" dynamic, the high and lows of the luck of the dice create tension throughout the game and players are always on edge, always emotionally invested in the game. Passive cooperation is also present, because most players gain resources at the same time. It serves as a constant reminder that players are all trying to reach the same goal.
Mechanics: Roads – Players must build roads, by trading one wood and one brick resource to the bank during their turn, in order to create additional settlements. To further induce players, a +2 bonus is given to the player that creates the longest road (which must be of at least length 5). Roads are placed in between hexes and cannot be built on top of another road – there can only be one road on each edge.
Dynamics: Territory – Players look for the best placement of roads so that they have enough open space for settlements (or future settlements), and long roads (if they are shooting for the +2 bonus). Since roads cannot overlap, placing roads play an important role in impeding the progress of another player's roads.
Aesthetics: Spatial Ownership and Awareness – Besides the flexibility in choice of how a player can gain points (the +2 bonus), players must become spatially aware of the board beyond just the hex tiles. Players must pay attention to the edges between hexes and translate clear or used edges into strategy. Roads are also a means of gaining land – ownership of the board, if you will – and serves a physical reference of the player's progress. The more roads the player has, the better off they are in general.
Mechanics: Variety of Resources and Buildings – Different land tiles produce different resources: hills produce brick, mountains produce ore, forests provide trees, fields provide wheat, and pastures have sheep. Similarly, different resources can make different buildings: 1 of each resource except for an ore can be turned into a settlement; 2 brick and 3 ore can turn a settlement into a city; 1 brick and 1 wood creates a road; and (oddly) 1 sheep, 1 ore, and 1 wheat can be exchanged for a development card.
Dynamics: Assortment and Trade - Players must shoot for specific goods to build specific buildings. While different strategies yield various ratios of goods that a player desires, all players generally want to have an assortment of goods. That way, they can build whatever they need at the appropriate time. Going with the odds, players won't have all the resources they need, especially at the beginning of the game, so there is an incentive to ask other players for goods; rather than trading 3:1 by way of a port or 4:1 by trading with the bank. The possibility of making a 1:1 deal with another player initiates trade.
Aesthetics: Unit Cohesion and Immersion – The fact that lands tiles produce resources that make sense – mountains don't produce sheep (unless they are really funky sheep) – and that buildings in real-life are made by those resources creates a sense of realism. Players bond with the gameplay on a basis of common knowledge. Furthermore, players feel like they are truly colonizing an island – cities are not made of steel but of more primitive materials. Settlers of Catan presents an islander culture that is believable.
Mechanics: Trade System with Players – During their turn after rolling the dice, players may offer a trade (must be public) between any amount and assortment of resources to selected players; that is, a player can open trade exclusively to other players and not to others. The offer can be rejected, however.
Dynamics: Socialization - Even though rejection occurs often, the tangible possibility of making a 1:1-resource deal with another player offers a welcoming alternative to the 3:1 port and 4:1 bank. Since players can selectively choose who they deal with, it also shows who that player is against and who that player is in allegiance with. In most cases, and especially when playing against robots online, cooperative competition comes into effect. If there is a substantial leader, then the other players usually exclude trade with the leader and reject offers made by the leader. Whatever the case, players converse with each other and can influence the outcome of a deal, whether it be their own offer or not.
Aesthetics: Real-Time Strategy, Personalization - This mechanic alone is what separates Settles of Catan from most other board games. In addition to the luck of the dice, it uses socialization as a way of creating a real-time strategy effect. Trade induces strategy, which in turn induces more trade, and coupled with dice-rolling and resource balancing acts, the game employs player interaction as a means of getting away from the tradition of turn-based board games. Moreover, a player's expression and personality translates into their actions. In general, a passive player won't offer as many trades, a loner won't trade altogether, a barterer will make many trades, and essentially, how a person trades reflects a part of their personality. There is a self-story that personalizes the game, because the outcome does not only depend directly on the dice, but also on the personalities of the players. At the same time, the game can be won whether a player trades or not, so while there may be an incentive to trade, players won't feel like their lack of trading immediately puts them out of the running to win. Settles of Catan is approachable to different kinds of players, if not all.
Mechanics: Development Cards – By trading one sheep, one grain, and one ore, players can draw a card from the top of the development deck, receiving either a Progress card, a Knight card, or a Victory Point card. Players hide their cards and cards can be played at any time during their turn, even before they roll dice. Progress cards are one-time effects that bolster their position, and one card in particular – Monopoly – takes all resources of one type from a player's opponents into his or her stock. Knight Cards instantly moves the robber piece when one is played, and a +2 bonus is given to a player with the largest army (of at least 3 Knight Cards). Victory Point cards are instant points that are used to fulfill the 10-point winning condition.
Dynamics: Secret Weapon – Since cards are concealed and players can use them at any time during their time, cards are used like daggers. They are secret weapons or last-ditch efforts that can turn the tide. Usually, players can tell how well other players are doing by the number of roads, cities, and settlements that player has. But with Victory Point cards and the +2 bonus for having the largest army, players can hide how many points they actually have.
Aesthetics: Surprise – Besides opening the possibilities of how to gain points, cards provide a sudden surprise. Bam! When a player plays a card, all attention focuses on that action and since it could happen during any time, it adds tension. Players also feel a sense of ownership and power when they hold cards like Monopoly, because they know that they have a back-up plan or some incredible force they can use - sort of like owning a nuclear bomb. Development cards keep players on the tip of their toes and fosters an uneasy feeling with other players that only enhances the sense of competition.
Mechanics: Robber – When a player rolls a "7" or when a player plays a Knight card, players must discard excess resources, and the robber moves from his square to a space of that player's choosing. The robber blocks production in the new hex and steals a resource card, at random, on behalf of the player who moved him from any one player who has a settlement or city touching the hex the robber is placed in.
Dynamics: Forced Conflict - Since the probability of rolling a "7" on a 2D6 is about a 20%, the robber will probably be moved more than enough times to see its effect. Since players can steal resources from opposing players and prevent production of any hex, a balancing act occurs. Further pursuing the cooperative competition dynamic, players naturally go after the person in the lead, by either preventing production of one of their hexes and/or stealing that lead player's goods.
Aesthetics: Revenge - First, the idea that the robber starts in the desert square in a purely aesthetic choice that makes the robber seem like a dervish, an Aladdin of sorts. The robber acts sort of like a neutral party, since anyone can employ his "services", and thereby fosters revenge all the more. (It wasn't me that stole your goods, it was the robber. I was forced.) Sure, revenge isn't the best of reasons to play a game, but forced conflict through the robber fuels cooperative competition, providing an unspoken competition between players that everyone knows exist.

TUESDAY, Sept. 11 (HealthDay News) -- Nighttime noise pollution -- in particular the din of traffic -- in urban areas puts city residents at risk for disrupted sleep and annoyance, researchers report.
Such chronic sleep disturbance could lead to serious health consequences, including increased risk for heart attack and high blood pressure, according to the new study. In addition, nighttime noise can also lead to poor sleep quality, which can cause morning tiredness and insomnia.
In conducting the study, the researchers examined noise pollution in Atlanta, and the surrounding communities in Fulton County, Ga. This area has a high-density road network, which includes Interstate Highway 285.
The study utilized the U.S. Federal Highway Administration's Traffic Noise Model to produce road traffic noise maps for both day and night. The investigators also collected data on the speed and volume of traffic in the area to estimate traffic noise exposure and the percentages of the local population that would be highly annoyed or have high levels of sleep disturbance.
"Our research estimated that the percentage of the overall populations at risk of high annoyance is 9.5 percent, and highly disturbed sleep at 2.3 percent," study co-investigator James Holt, of the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a CDC news release.
The study revealed the most densely populated cities in Fulton County were most affected by noise. Atlanta, Sandy Springs and Alpharetta contributed to 79 percent of people annoyed by the noise in Fulton County. Meanwhile, Atlanta, Sandy Springs, and Roswell contributed to 78 percent of sleep disturbance.
The researchers also estimated that just over 11 percent of the daytime population and nearly 4 percent of the nighttime population of the smaller city of College Park were at risk for experiencing annoyance or sleep disturbance. Of those at risk, 68 percent of those at risk for annoyance and 64 percent of those at risk for sleep disturbance lived by I-285.
The researchers noted that noise could affect a greater number of people living in more densely populated cities.
"We believe it is time to begin extensive traffic-related noise research and establish up-to-date policies to control and abate noise problems for our communities," said Holt. "Adequate restful sleep and mental well-being are as essential to good health as adequate nutrition and physical activity. Assessing and alleviating environmental noise is an essential element for improving or creating healthy communities where adults and children can play, work and live."
The study was published in the October issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
While the study suggested an association between nighttime noise exposure and health risks, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.

Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. (RBXY), India's biggest drugmaker, won U.S. clearance to sell a generic version of Pfizer Inc. (PFE)'s $10.7 billion Lipitor cholesterol pill.
The Food and Drug Administration approved Ranbaxy's copy of the world's top-selling drug, which will be manufactured by Ohm Laboratories in New Brunswick, New Jersey, the agency said today in a statement. Watson Pharmaceuticals Inc. (WPI) today began selling a copy of Lipitor in the U.S. under an agreement with New York- based Pfizer. Watson's version didn't require FDA clearance because Pfizer is providing the drug to sell without the brand label in return for a share of the revenue.

Wonderful post... Very informational and educational as usual!
Best Rock Club Miami 2008 - Tobacco Road - CLOSED
626 S. Miami Ave.
Miami, FL 33130
This place is shady and a low quality establishment to visit.The property is in a shady place to visit especially if your a tourist. It is a rather small establishment, the pathway fills up with people and you can't walk through. And upstairs features many musicians that may hound you for a drink or to buy their music CDs. By the way the musicians are amateurs mostly. The music sucks! It is even uptight- you can barley drink and eat without the bartenders getting on your case. You are literally competing with the local riff for the space you are standing at. I expect a better service and establishment than that to spend my money and time!

Hey guys,
Wood ash acts as a PH buffer or nutrilizer. It's better to be applied to acidic soil that you need to be less acidic, such as directly on a future garden site. I'm not sure what it would do with a compost pile,do you know?
Any help?
To use it as a fertiliser, add it to a growing medium... put it in your compost mix once you've got it ready to plant things in (I make my mix out of loam, leafmould and compost), or add it to the top of the pot or soil where it will wash into the medium when it rains or when you water.
And sprinkle some around fruit trees, stone fruit likes it, and apples which suffer from 'bitter pit', a condition that some apples sometimes suffer from, especially Bramleys.
Compost Pile?
I really want a compost pile, how do you make them? I dont want to buy anything, and 2nd question , how do you make compost tea?? i heard its really good for the plants

Judge Nancy Gertner to present 21st Annual Coffin Lecture at Maine Law
September 19, 2013
PORTLAND, Maine – Judge Nancy Gertner, a Professor of Practice at Harvard Law School and a retired federal judge, will present the 21st Annual Frank M. Coffin Lecture on Law and Public Service this fall. The Lecture will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 21, at the Abromson Community Education Center.
The lecture series, sponsored by the University of Maine School of Law, honors the late Judge Frank M. Coffin, longtime federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, former member of Congress, and renowned leader and mentor in public service.
A champion of civil rights and women's rights, Judge Gertner is a teacher, an author and a former defense lawyer. She was nominated to the federal bench by President Bill Clinton, and she served as U.S. District Court Judge in Massachusetts from 1994 to 2011. Judge Gertner reflects on a storied career in her 2011 autobiography, entitled In Defense of Women: Memoirs of an Unrepentant Advocate.
Judge Gertner teaches criminal law, criminal procedure, forensic science and sentencing at Harvard Law School. She is a graduate of Barnard College and Yale Law School, and received her M.A. in Political Science at Yale University. She has been an instructor at Yale Law School, teaching sentencing and comparative sentencing institutions, since 1998. In 2008, Judge Gertner became only the second woman (U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was first) to receive the Thurgood Marshall Award from the American Bar Association Section of Individual Rights and Responsibilities.
Admission to the event is free, but seating is limited. Please register before Oct. 11 by calling (207) 780-4344, or via email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Makes about six 4-inch pancakes, serving 2
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup cranberries, picked over
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted lightly and chopped fine
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted, plus addition melted butter for brushing the griddle
In a small saucepan combine the syrup with the cranberries, simmer the mixture, covered for 5 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst, and keep the syrup warm, covered. In a bowl stir together the flour, the sugar, the baking soda, the salt, the cinnamon, and the walnuts. In a small bowl stir together the buttermilk, the egg, and 1 tablespoon of the butter, add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, and stir the batter until it is just combined.
Preheat the oven to 200°F. Heat a griddle over moderate heat until it is hot enough to make drops of water scatter over its surface and brush it with the additional butter. Spoon 1/4-cup measures of the batter onto the griddle and cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden. Transfer the pancakes as they are cooked to a heatproof plate and keep them warm in the oven. Serve the pancakes with the syrup.

Let me tell you something on this Tuesday afternoon — this young lady has changed my entire week for the better. Mary J. Blige and her crusty wraps can sashay away, because Logan McWilliams has a true chicken symphony for the streets.
To hell with stereotypes. I'm telling you that chicken will just make you wanna sing and dance. Not only did Logan have me shouting empathetic words of praise, but I am still tempted to shimmy around this room as I type. Just get your life. You just do that.
Thanks @itsallDonn.

the Collective Age
We are entering the Collective Age. Connections are circumventing traditional systems. An age of horizontal eco systems that disrupt the top down Industrial era. An age we're we will not be governed for long. An age where the owners of the factors of production are desperate for our input and use of these idle resources. An age where we don't vote and hope, rather where we collaborate and create. An age where every garage will become a factory – via innovations like 3D printing and sharing designs of stuff on-line. An age where National Government data is being handed back to us so we can mash it up and create software applications to run our cities and countries better than they ever could. An era were we can use digital communications to organise ourselves in real time…. and change our landscape before the bureaucrats have time to realise what has happened.
Technology is facilitating emergence, we are finally becoming one organism that serves the collective.
In fact, this hasn't happened yet. And it may not happen if we let it pass us by – the question for entrepreneurs is how will we embrace this opportunity for revolution to create the actual world we want to live in?
One Response
it is happening, all over the world people are connecting. What is exciting is the different ways in which it is happening, and how people are adopting these methods. watching the collaboration of ideas world wide is scary and so quickly changing the way we live. The trick is, don't be a scared little bitch.

The New York Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that the state can use eminent domain to force the sale of businesses and residential properties to make way for the long-delayed Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn.
A group consisting of tenants and owners against the plan was quick to call the ruling unconstitutional, claiming it benefits private interests instead of the public, as eminent domain requires.
The 6-1 decision paves the way for developer Bruce Ratner to move ahead with his nearly-$5 billion project.
"Once again the courts have made it clear that this project represents a significant public benefit for the people of Brooklyn and the entire city," said Ratner in a statement.
But the opposing group Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn says it will not give up.
"The fight against the Atlantic Yards project is far from over," said the group in a statement. "The community has four outstanding lawsuits against the project and, meanwhile, the arena bond financing clock ticks louder and louder for Ratner."
"It's never been about affordable housing. It has never been about new jobs. This is a scam," said Brooklyn resident and plaintiff David Sheets.
The plan calls for office space, apartments and a new 18,000-seat basketball arena for the Nets.
"We're very happy that this project will be going forward," said Peter Davidson of the Empire State Development Corporation. "We just had a meeting right now which affirmed the right to issue bonds, to fund the project, and we are looking forward to a groundbreaking early next year."
The Empire State Development Corporation and Mayor Michael Bloomberg agreed that the court decision will benefit the city.
"This is the beauty of development in New York City, a significant issue like this is contentious. People have different opinions, that's part of the process," said Davidson. "We're happy the court made this decision, we're very happy this project will be going forward."
"The state court rules in favor of the city because this is a project the city really needs," said Bloomberg. "It will help Brooklyn, it will help all of New York, it will give us another great venue for the big events that define New York."
The developer has an end-of-the-year deadline to receive a final go-ahead, in order to ensure tax-exempt financing.

America's Best State Fairs
Ferris wheels, 4-H, even fine winesthese five all-American state fairs rank above the rest.
By Sara Morrow
Minnesota State Fair | Best Educational Exhibits
Among the most family-friendly of all fairs, Minnesota claims an astonishing variety of activities sure to delight children. Along with the usual 4-H contests and FFA shows, visit the Miracle of Birth Center, where some 200 animals are born during the 12-day fair; human kids can watch as calves, lambs, and tiny piglets take their first steps. The All-You-Can-Drink-Milk booth, where a buck buys unlimited moo-juice, proves a crowd-pleaser for all ages. "Other fairs might sells cups of milk for a quarter, but this deal is one of a kind," Kopel says.

Pictures That Don't Exactly Portray the Proper Image of Spiderman
Sometimes you don't exactly get your friendly "neighborhood Spiderman." In fact many times you wind up seeing images of the comic book hero in instances one would hardly expect a superhero to be in.
For a guy that can virtually fly, have superhuman strength, and save entire cities, I doubt the true creators of the comic book envisioned seeing Spiderman in some of the ways we've managed to find him.
Real or fake (well they're all fake) these are some pretty funny and disturbing views of Spiderman.

Message From the Dean
Welcome to the UAB School of Optometry – a small school with a big impact!
The UAB School of Optometry (UABSO) was established by the Alabama legislature in 1969 and admitted its first class of eight students on September 27, 1969. The School's first Doctor of Optometry (O.D.) degrees were awarded on June 4, 1973. Since that time, the School has grown to include graduate degrees (M.S., Ph.D.) in Vision Science and post-doctoral residency education. However, the optometry classes still average only 40 – 45 students. This makes us one of the smaller optometry schools in the country – a fact that we feel benefits the educational experience of our students.
When UABSO was founded it was located in central Alabama as part of the University of Alabama at Birmingham academic health center. This affords our students an opportunity to be surrounded with other health professionals and researchers. It also offers students the many benefits of a small school within a large urban university. UABSO students may take advantage of the same university sponsored events and programs as those available to undergraduate students. In addition, Birmingham is a vibrant metropolitan community that retains considerable small-town charm. There is something for everyone including hiking, museums, golf, the symphony, football, concerts and much more.
UABSO has a world-class reputation for educating optometrists and vision scientists. Our faculty is among the best known in the country through their lectures, research and publications including many textbooks. Our students and faculty perform community service in multiple venues from local neighborhoods to third-world countries. Perhaps our best known service is the excellent patient care provided in the recently renovated clinic "UAB Eye Care," a 34,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility that covers everything from primary eye care, including the dispensing of glasses and contacts, to the treatment of ocular disease, as well as low vision rehabilitation and pediatric vision care.
We now have more than 1,200 graduates of the School who form one of the most involved and caring group of alumni of any school in the country. They offer their support whenever and wherever asked. They sponsor many of our student programs, serve as student mentors, assist with recruiting of new students, serve on optometric association and legislative committees, and most recently generously provided financial support to help complete the UAB Eye Care renovation. Our graduates represent the best of what UABSO is all about. We produce highly skilled and compassionate optometrists who care about the patients they serve, the communities in which they practice and the School.
Please take a few moments to browse this website and learn more about us – our programs, faculty, facilities, history, and the reasons why UABSO is so special. Be sure to contact us if you have any questions or would like to visit the School.

Despite the dedication and hard work of many medical professionals, mistakes are sometimes made, resulting in pain, heartache and frustration for patients and their families.
On the whole, the earlier the diagnosis of an illness is made, the greater the chance of a successful outcome. Unfortunately, some illnesses are missed or diagnosed late, when they should not have been.
There is delay in diagnosis of diseases and medical conditions for all kinds of reasons; carelessness, de-skilled, overworked or incompetent doctors, overstretched laboratory staff, or GPs who fail to recognise a particular problem perhaps (but not always) because they come across it so rarely. Sometimes the reverse happens and a diagnosis of disease is wrongly made. This can result in psychological harm as well as unnecessary and unpleasant treatment and/or surgery.
Cancer misdiagnosis is often widely reported in the press and in the past there have been some high profile cases where cervical cancer has been missed and breast cancer wrongly diagnosed. Many of these victims have quite rightly recovered considerable compensation.
The most common mistakes resulting in a delay in diagnosis of disease or medical condition are:

Pac-Man The Movie: Hollywood Should Take Notice
Pac-Man Brought to Life in Awesome Fan Made Movie
By Nick Schneider on 4/11/2012
There are movies based off of video games with incredible plots, deep characters, and complete worlds, and yet they hardly ever seem to get the ideas or themes nailed down well. If you're old enough to remember the ill fated Super Mario Bros. movie, then you understand exactly how far off Hollywood can go, although in today's world we normally just thank Uwe Boll for any terrible movie adaptation. Steelhouse Productions began "Project Yellow Sphere" a year ago, and have recently released onto the world a short movie based off of Pac-Man. After watching the film version of this Namco Bandai arcade classic, as well as one of the first true video game icons, you may discover a new found understanding for that little yellow sphere.As expected ghosts, cherries, and of course enough energy balls to consume all tie up nicely to turn Pac-Man into one of the military's most competent weapon. Pac-Man is a game with very little plot, and the fact that Steelhouse Productions managed to find a way to make all of the series icons work cohesively and coherently is a sight to behold in of itself. Now if only we could get a crew that could truly understand the Max Payne franchise, what a waste of an already great plot and narrative that turned out to become.

This was very well done. Always been a Pacman fan and now I really want to play the game again. Good Job!

Who is the Health Resource Center? The Health Resource Center (HRC) is the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) national call center that provides customer service and support to Veterans, caregivers, other government agencies and the general public regarding VA health benefits, eligibility, and billing questions. Confused about a co-payment charge? Need assistance paying a bill? Require more information regarding eligibility for VA benefits? The professional staff of the Health Resource Center answers questions to topics like these and more every day. The toll-free phone number listed at the top of Veteran Patient Statements and HRC's national 1-877-222-VETS (8387) toll-free number connects callers to Health Resource Center Contact Representatives who can assist with a variety of inquiries. HRC aims to honor Veterans by providing World Class Customer Service. They do this through innovation, compassion, and persistence.
The Health Resource Center not only provides support for everyday healthcare-related questions, but also lends its quality customer service to a variety of interests within the Department of Veterans Affairs. The HRC Disaster Response Contact Center offers services in times of disaster for both Veterans and VA employees who are unable to contact their primary VA facility, or require additional assistance in times of wide-spread adversity. During Hurricane Sandy in Novemeber 2012, HRC quickly jumped into action to assist Veterans and VA employees from the affected area. HRC assisted with medication concerns, employee disaster guidance, and various other needs that local facilities were not able to provide due to power outages, building damage, and other storm related disruptions.
In collaboration with VA health care providers and pharmacists, HRC's full time pharmacists and pharmacy staff assist Veterans and caregivers with pharmacy-related inquiries. This service allows health care providers and pharmacists the opportunity to better assist Veterans during in-person facility consultations without the added distraction of routine pharmacy questions or concerns.
The Health Resource Center has served as a national point of contact for the Department of Veterans Affairs in support of Veterans and related administrative initiatives since 2002. HRC Contact Representatives provide service to Veterans by way of telephone, email, secure messaging or web support. More than eight hundred HRC staff members directly or indirectly provide support for Veteran-related affairs including technical support for users of VA websites and applications.
Aside from the direct support to Veterans, the Health Resource Center provides payroll administration services to select Veterans Health Administration (VHA) organizations. HRC's payroll department services approximately 6,000 VA employees and 17 stations including the Consolidated Mail Out Pharmacies (CMOPs), Health Eligibility Center (HEC), Consolidated Patient Account Centers (CPACs), Chief Business Office-Workforce Management (Human Resources), and the Health Resource Center. Although the payroll staff is located in Topeka, Kansas they support VA employees in all 50 states.
The Health Resource Center continues to innovate and dedicate resources and knowledge to help Veterans navigate the ever-changing healthcare world. The HRC considers its role as Veteran supporter a significant component in honoring Servicemen and women.
