Wants more Valley news in Valley section
Question: As I recall, the Section B in The Spokesman-Review had been called
"The Region" or "Region" for several years. Why was the heading for
this section changed to read "Valley", within the past couple of years?
This section does cover news for several counties in Idaho, Montana and Washington.
I am a resident of Spokane Valley. Renaming it "Spokane Valley"
would be more appropriate if it would contain news only for the City of
Spokane Valley and the surrounding area of Spokane County. -- Omer S. Olson, Spokane Valley
Answer: The Spokesman-Review Valley edition launched in September 2002. At that time, we added reporters and photographers to our Valley bureau and increased, substantially, the amount of daily news coming out of the Valley, particularly news of local government, public schools and public safety. The Valley editor is Jeff Jordan, a lifetime Valley resident.
The "Valley" designation on the top of the local news page doesn't suggest that the section will contain only Valley news. After all, Valley residents are citizens of the larger metro area, state and region, too, and want news from other places But we do "zone" into the section Valley stories that might not run in our Spokane city edition or our Idaho edition. There will be stories in those editions that do not run in the Valley. Some days the number of "swap" stories is low -- that's surely the case during the slow dog days of summer. But some days we swap several Valley only stories and news briefs into the Valley edition. Meanwhile, we continue to produce the two Valley Voice tabloids that appear each week, Thursdays and Saturdays. All in all, we produce more Valley-specific news than ever before. -- Steve Smith, editor

Tankersley Field (map it)
100 Stadium Dr
Prairie View, TX 77445
Prairie View A&M Panthers website
Year Opened: 1946
Capacity: 1,000
There are no tickets available at this time.
Official Review by Paul Derrick, Stadium Journey Regional Correspondent
Prairie View A&M was established in 1876 and currently has an enrollment of around 8,500 students. The historically black school is a member of the SWAC and lately has been known for having one of the better baseball teams in the conference. The school is situated in the small town of Prairie View, Texas which is in between Waller and Hempstead. The Prairie View A&M Panthers play their home baseball games at Panther Field, which has the capacity to hold 1,000 people. The field regularly gets good attendance numbers, and the fans and alumni on hand make their presence known.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
You won't see or get anything spectacular when you visit the concession trailer at Panther Field, but should be able to find something to snack on. You will find canned Coca-Cola products as well as water and Gatorade. As far as snacks, Panther Field does offer hot dogs from time to time as well as small bags of chips, an assortment of candies and peanuts. Overall not a great variety of options but they are all reasonably priced and should hold you over until after the game.
You won't see much more of a crowd than you are use to seeing at a high school game at Panther Field, but the fans that are in attendance are pretty good. Both SWAC schools I have attended a game at had raised dugouts which I thought was kind of interesting; maybe it's a SWAC thing. The fans that are in attendance cheer on the team pretty well and make sure to give the umpires a piece of their mind when they think he missed a call. The seats are nothing but two sets of bleachers and aren't covered so make sure you bring some sunscreen and an umbrella because that Texas heat can get pretty brutal in the summertime.
If you are looking for a bite to eat other than fast food restaurants your best bet is to go to Hempstead or Waller as Prairie View has very few options. In driving around the town and campus the only choices I saw for anything to eat were Sonic, McDonalds, and Frenchy's. Of course I guess this is to be expected in a town of only 4,400 people.
The fans in attendance at Panther Field are mostly faculty, alumni, family or fellow students but they do a great job of cheering on the Panthers. The only problem with the fans though is that there just aren't enough of them to warrant a bigger score. On a few of the games that I have been to I have yet to see more than 100 people at the game or in the bleachers even during some of their bigger rivalry games like Texas Southern. The fans are great and vocal. There just aren't enough of them to warrant a bigger score.
The parking access is kind of a two edged sword at Panther Field. Parking is free and available right up next to the field which is convenient for getting to and leaving the ballpark, but it can be a pain when you go out and see that one of the errant foul balls has made its way through your windshield, which happened to the lady who parked next to me. The parking is free which is always good though, you just might want to take the most outer spot. Bathrooms are a set of port-a-potties which in the middle of the Texas summer can be a little rough.
Watching a game at Panther Field is free which makes for a pretty good return on investment. Add the free ticket in with free parking and it is really hard to find a bad investment in going to Panther Field to watch a game. However though with no covered bleachers it can be pretty rough to watch in the heat of the summer, so make sure you bring the sunscreen.
One extra point goes for free parking, in today's economy it is always the little things that count.
My last extra point goes to the no admission charge. If you are looking for a great place to take your kid to show him the intricacies of baseball a game, then Panther Field is definitely a great option.
The Prairie View A&M baseball team is on the rise after winning the 2012 SWAC baseball tournament. I hope this continues to bring out more fans to the ballpark.
California dreaming?
I guess I don't know the NCAA requirements for Division I, but the lack of amenities, you itemize above, resemble junior college venues in California. Is it a regional thing?
The Division One label should bring more with it.

Update on PVAMU Stadium
FYI...Prairie View's baseball stadium was officially named Tankersley Field in 2014, after John W. "Tank" Tankersley, the Panther baseball coach from 1969 to1972 and 1974 to 2002.

Thank you

All of the dreams we built up from the ground They never believed them they just tore them down We will rebuild them from the start, we will rebuild them from the heart 'Cause once all we wanted seemed so far away But with everystep it was closer each day The more that we tried it was within our grasp The more that they told us that it wouldn't last And everyone said we were crazy for giving up everything....

Tampa Strip Clubs Gear Up For The Republican National Convention
TAMPA, Fla. — Over at the back door of the 2001 Odyssey, a limo-size tent with flaps — especially designed for discretion and camera-shy guests — is ready to go up. Déjà Vu is welcoming extra "talent" from around the country in its V.I.P. rooms. As Tampa gears up for the Republican National Convention, the biggest party it has ever held, the city and its businesses are primping and polishing for the August arrival of tens of thousands of visitors. Like it or not — mostly not, for city officials — Tampa's well-known strip clubs have joined the welcome wagon. Club owners here say they have schmoozed with their counterparts in former host cities, like Denver, and have been told that revenue pours in during conventions, sometimes quadrupling earnings from a Super Bowl week. As for party affiliation, this is one place where the country's caustic partisan differences fall away, owners say. Angelina Spencer, the executive director of the Association of Club Executives, which serves as a trade association for strip clubs, said an informal survey of convention business in New York and Denver had determined that Republicans dropped more money at clubs, by far. "Hands down, it was Republicans," she said. "The average was $150 for Republicans and $50 for Democrats."
Sounds like they're bracing for a fuckin hurricane or an invasion or something. Importing reinforcements from all around the country to handle these Viagra poppin grandpas. Like William Wallace rounding up all the Scottish in Braveheart. "Highlanders are coming down in droves of hundreds and thousands. Are ya ready for a WAR!!" Except in this case instead of men fighting against tyranny for their freedom its a bunch of sluts gearing up for creepy old white men who will give them money for over the pants hand jobs. Quick! Call in Candy from Denver! Get Misty from Miami! Jasmine from Georgia! We've got the GOP in town and these dicks aren't gonna ejaculate in their slacks on their own!
What a bunch of fucking squares the Democrats are huh? Probably have the Democratic National Convention in Portland or San Francisco or something. Spend the weekend talking about global warming and gay marriage or some bullshit. Meanwhile Rush Limbaugh and Michael Steele are busy fingering trailer park hos in the champagne room. Makin it rain with trashbags full of money while Pony by Ginuwine plays.

New perspectives in computational intelligence: nothing so intelligent as randomness, nothing so effective as asymmetry AbstractLeaving the Expert Systems framework of the eighties and the early connectionist paradigm of the nineties, the scientific community is now drawn by social computing paradigms, where a huge number of agents individually do an elementary job and jointly give rise to a sophisticated functionality. There is no doubt that the complexity of this functionality is connected to the randomness of the agents' work. What comes increasingly clear is that this randomness is a guarantee of success, not a drawback, provided we avoid falling in the ordinary Gaussian phenomenology in the province of the Central Limit Theorem. We envisage a jointly biased asymmetry of the agents' actions to be the main feature distinguishing them from the molecules of a gas in Brownian motion, and toss this idea in the paper

Mark Farley Head Coach UNI head coach Mark Farley, once known as the "walk on from Waukon", has led the UNI Panthers to a mark of 104-45 in his 12 years at the helm of the program. In Missouri Valley Football Conference play, Farley has guided the Panthers to a record of 64-24 for an impressive .727 winning percentage in league play. Farley is the MVFC's all-time coaching wins leader with 64 league victories. Included in that 12-year run for Farley and the Panthers are seven conference championships, seven playoff appearances, 10 top-25 final rankings, three national semifinal appearances and one national title game appearance in 2005. Farley holds the UNI record for postseason coaching victories with 10. He is 10-7 all-time in the FCS playoffs. It is safe to say, coach Farley has returned Panther football to its rightful home among the FCS elite. Heading into his 13th year as the Panther mentor, Farley never has felt more at home. Through his leadership, the Panthers have returned to the glory days when they won seven straight conference titles and made seven consecutive FCS playoff appearances in the decade of the '90s. In Farley's 12 years at the helm, UNI has won at least a share of seven Missouri Valley Football Conference titles. UNI has also advanced to the quarterfinals (2003, 2007, 2011), semifinals (2001, 2008) and the national title game (2005) in six of those seven playoff appearances. Ten of Farley's 12 previous Panther teams have finished the season ranked in the top 25. On October 18, 2013, Farley will be inducted into UNI's HPELS Hall of Excellence as part of the 2004-2013 inductees. During the "Walk of Excellence" President Ruud, Provost Gibson, Dean Watson, Dr. Corbett and Dr. Crawford will be congratulate Farley on his professional accomplishments. During the 2012 season, Farley led a young Panther squad through a rough schedule, finishing 5-6 overall and 4-4 in the MVFC. Farley put confidence in a young quarterback from Oklahoma as Sawyer Kollmorgen guided UNI through the season, eventually picking up MVFC Freshman of the Year and MVFC Newcomer of the Year awards. The Panthers faced two BCS opponents and four ranked FCS opponents during the season. UNI now has 69 wins over top-25 opponents. UNI won back-to-back MVFC titles in 2011 following a 7-1 run through the league. UNI clinched a share of the MVFC title with a 23-20 double-overtime win at Illinois State to close the regular season. The Panthers also achieved Farley's sixth 10-plus win season since taking over in 2001. The Panthers posted a mark of 4-2 against ranked foes in 2011, including a 28-21 win over No. 12-ranked Wofford in the second round of the FCS playoffs. The Panthers won their third MVFC title in four years in 2010. The Panthers started slow at 2-3 following an overtime loss at Southern Illinois, but rallied to win five games in a row and clinched the regular season conference title with a week remaining in the regular season. UNI eventually dropped a 14-7 opening round NCAA Playoff game to Lehigh to end the 2010 campaign. UNI led the MVFC in rushing offense (216.58 yards/game), rushing defense (104.42 yards/game), sacks (3.08/game) and tackles-for-loss (6.92/game). UNI ranked No. 9 in the nation in sacks, No. 9 in rushing offense and No. 10 in rushing defense. In 2009, the Panthers rose to No. 2 in the national polls following a 5-1 start to the season. Included in that run was a near-upset of the Iowa Hawkeyes at Kinnick Stadium. In 2008, Farley directed the Panthers to back-to-back conference championships for the first time since the 1995-1996 seasons. The Panthers posted a mark of 12-3 overall and earned a No. 3 seed in the NCAA FCS Playoffs. UNI scored a pair of playoff wins over Maine and New Hampshire. The Panthers' 2007 season will go down in the books as one of the finest ever. UNI became the first team in the history of the Missouri Valley Football Conference to post a perfect 11-0 regular season. UNI also became the first MVFC team to record a perfect 6-0 mark in road games. The Panthers attained the No. 1 ranking in the Sports Network poll and held the top spot for the final six weeks of the regular season. As a result of the Panthers' success in 2007, fans came out in droves to the UNI-Dome. UNI set a single-season average attendance record by drawing 16,118 fans per game. Also, for the first time in school history UNI sold out three straight games in the Dome beginning with a Homecoming crowd of 17,074 vs. Southern Illinois, followed by Youngstown State with 16,528 and Indiana State with 16,624. When the year was done the accolades rolled in with Farley earning National Coach of the Year honors in winning the Eddie Robinson Award, an honor given to the top FCS coach by The Sports Network. Farley was also named the 2007 Bruce Craddock MVFC Coach of the Year. In 2006, Farley guided the Panthers to another top-25 ranking and a second-place finish in the ultra-competitive Missouri Valley Football Conference. UNI's offense finished the year ranked No. 4 in the nation and senior defensive back Dre Dokes led the nation with seven interceptions. Farley's 2005 Panthers made school history by reaching the first NCAA FCS national championship game in the program's history. The Panthers reached the final by edging out No. 15 Eastern Washington (38-35), No. 1-ranked New Hampshire (24-21) and No. 4 Texas State (40-37) in overtime. UNI's 2005 Missouri Valley Football Conference title run is one that will stick in the memory banks of all Panther fans. UNI dropped to 2-2 in the league and 4-3 overall after a disappointing 38-3 loss to Illinois State. "We talked after that game that our goal was to go from worst to first - and not just first in the conference," Farley said. The Panthers then pulled off the unthinkable as they knocked off three-ranked opponents in three weeks to capture a share of the conference title. UNI scored a 21-7 home win over No. 11-ranked Youngstown State. UNI followed it up with an amazing 23-20 double-overtime win at No. 6 Western Kentucky. Western Kentucky was set to win the game on the final play, but UNI's Everette Pedescleaux blocked the field goal and the Panthers eventually won the game on a 20-yard touchdown strike from Eric Sanders to Justin Surrency. The Panthers concluded their conference run with a dramatic, come-from-behind thriller with No. 4-ranked Southern Illinois in a raucous UNI-Dome in front of 15,536 fans. The Panthers trailed 24-10 entering the fourth quarter but responded with 15 points in the final 15 minutes to score a 25-24 win. UNI scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 4th-and-2 when Sanders hooked up with Jamie Goodwin for a 35-yard score. UNI then held the Salukis when senior linebacker Darin Heideman nabbed SIU running back Arkee Whitlock short of the first down marker and the celebration was on. "I think it's the most quality team you could put together," Farley said. "When I say a team, it was 56 guys who stepped up, put together a run and beat many teams, and we had to do it on the road. It's hard to put together a team like this without any superstars, but with guys who were always there for you and believed in each other. It's a special group." Farley earned Northwest Region Coach of the Year honors from Don Hansen's Football Gazette, and he finished 15th in the Eddie Robinson Award balloting. "This is home to me," he said at the time of his selection as UNI's head coach. "Through football, I've been presented with great opportunities in my life and this is by far the best experience. I am so excited for this opportunity." In his first season, Farley led the Panthers back to the FCS elite. UNI finished 11-3 overall in 2001, placed first in the Gateway Football Conference with a 6-1 mark, and advanced to the FCS national semifinals for the fifth time in school history. It was the Panthers' first conference title and playoff appearance since 1996. During the season, UNI defeated five ranked FCS opponents and FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) opponent Ball State, which went on to defeat Motor City Bowl-bound Toledo later in the year. The Panthers finished the season ranked fourth in both The Sports Network and ESPN/USA Today final FCS polls. The conference and the nation took notice. Farley was named the league's Bruce Craddock Coach of the Year and American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Region 4 Coach of the Year. He placed third in the Eddie Robinson Award balloting. He received 16 first-place votes, the most of any candidate. He still sits atop the conference with the best record for rookie coaches. The following year did not live up to pre-season expectations following the success of 2001 as the Panthers finished 5-6 overall. Injuries, graduation and inexperience on defense took a toll. The Panthers re-grouped in 2003 to claim a share of the conference title when it won a hard-fought, come-from-behind contest against previously undefeated and No. 2-ranked Southern Illinois in the final regular season game. UNI went on to defeat No. 24-ranked Montana State in the UNI-Dome in the first round of the playoffs, then was sent on the road to No. 3 and eventual national champion Delaware, where it fell 37-7 on a cold and snowy afternoon to finish 10-3 overall. The Panthers were ranked fifth in The Sports Network/CSTV final Top 25. Throughout the season, UNI defeated four ranked teams and appeared on television five times. Farley again was a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award. When all was said and done in 2004, the Panthers were judged on their first five games, and not their final six. Despite six consecutive victories by an average margin of 23.7 points, UNI couldn't overcome a 1-4 start to begin the year. As a result, the Panthers were passed over for the FCS playoffs but finished on a high with a 7-4 record, including a 5-2 mark in the always tough MVFC to place third behind post-season selections Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky. Their strong finish earned them a No. 25 ranking in both The Sports Network and ESPN/USA Today final polls. Farley grew up not far from Cedar Falls, and the UNI-Dome, in a small community called Waukon. He was a three-sport standout at Waukon High School. He played quarterback his junior year and tailback his senior year, while also seeing time at strong safety. He was a forward on the basketball team (all-conference two years) and a pitcher and short stop for the baseball team (all-conference three years). Despite his success, he wasn't highly recruited and he took a year off before pursuing his college degree. His job as a truck driver brought him through Cedar Falls each Monday. He would drop into the UNI-Dome to check out the Panther football team. In the fall of 1982, he walked on to the team, redshirting that first season. He received the Special Team Award his second year, then became a starting inside linebacker three years. He earned honorable mention all-America honors twice, was named MVFC co-Defensive Player of the Year, was selected a team co-captain, and was named a two-time academic all-American. He led the team in tackles three consecutive years. During Farley's three years as a starter, UNI compiled a 27-7-1 record and advanced to the 1985 FCS semifinals. "When I came (for the interview), I wanted to stop back (in the Dome)," Farley said. "I came to the doors and I stood on that balcony on the concourse. I just wanted to get that energy from the Dome, because there's still something about this place. I looked at the banners and remembered the players that were here. We can be proud of this university in football." Farley went straight from a player to a graduate assistant for two years under Coach Darrell Mudra and then was elevated to a full-time assistant. Between 1987-96, he was the position coach for such former UNI stars as Bryce Paup, James Jones, William Freeney and Andre Allen. Paup and Jones went on to play in the NFL, of course, while Allen and Freeney played in the Arena League and CFL. Four times Farley's players were named league Defensive Players of the Year. In total, he coached five UNI all-Americans and 22 all-conference selections the first time around on staff. He also was the punt return specialist. That segment had a NCAA average ranking of sixth from 1989-1993, with two second-place statistical rankings. He also served as the team's Strength and Speed Coordinator. He was a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and a Certified Level 1 Coach of the U.S. Weightlifting Federation. He designed and coordinated the reconstruction of UNI's strength facility and implemented individualized computer weight training programs. With the success of individual players, the Panther program grew into a national power under Mudra and then, Terry Allen. As previously mentioned, UNI won seven consecutive MVFC titles, made seven straight FCS playoff appearances between 1990-1996, eight total, including advancing to two semifinal games. The Dome was packed with several sellouts. In an interview following Farley's hiring, Mudra, a former head coach at Florida State, now retired and living in Florida, said, "I had three helpers who went on to become NFL head coaches. Farley is as good as any coaching prospect I worked with. I just feel like (UNI) couldn't have hired a better guy. He's a perfect fit for that situation. I think he's bright - real bright. Probably the most important thing is, he's really involved in football. If you cut his head open, nothing would come out but footballs. He's real intense." Jones, a 1991 NFL third-round pick by the Cleveland Browns, said of Farley in a post-hire interview, "He makes athletes get the most out of themselves. One thing all of us under him did was work hard. That's the way he coached it, and that's what he expected out of you. He was just one of those coaches you wanted to go out there and play your hardest for. He'll probably still have (that) energy when he's 65. That's just Coach Farley." When Terry Allen left the Panthers in 1997 to become head coach at the University of Kansas, Farley was one of UNI's assistants to follow. Farley was the Jayhawks' inside and outside linebacker coach. In Lawrence, he coached two all-Big 12 players, one all-American and five Players of the Week. He produced the KU all-time sack leader for season and career and recruited the 1999 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year. He was rated one of the top recruiters in the Midwest by MoKan Recruiting Service. He also assisted with the punt return and block specialists. His players blocked or returned a punt for a touchdown against 11 of the league teams at least once. Having worked under, or played for, three of the best football minds in Mudra, Earle Bruce and Allen, there's little doubt Farley knows football. However, it is also his passion, not only for the game, but for the University of Northern Iowa, that has helped carry the Panthers back to the top of FCS football. "This program is not broken," Farley said upon his appointment. "(The previous staff did) a good job...We just want to take it a step higher, raise the bar to our expectations at the University of Northern Iowa. We want to win the Gateway - we WILL win the Gateway ... people are scared to come in (the UNI-Dome). We want to fill this place. You don't know how exciting it was as a player and as a coach with 16,000 people, keys ringing all the time on kickoffs. That's neat. I love it when the opposing team stands at that doorway down there and that is all happening. "I want our players to feel that because that is a special feeling, and that is why we're here and that's what we're after to achieve, because if you win the Gateway, you can win the national championship. That's how tough this conference is." Farley also is a players' coach, a coach willing to listen to his players, but who also sets high standards for his team. He set the tone in his first meeting with the squad. "The first thing that we talked about was this program," he said. "This program is the most important thing. It was here before we were here, and it will be here after we leave. Right now, we represent this program and this university. We represent the community, we represent the state, and we will do everything that we can to put UNI football at the level we're proud of and always have been at this university. This place is important to alumni, just as it is to me." Farley served as UNI's interim Director of Athletics from Feb. 1, 2008 until July 1, 2008.

Public Abstract:
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and in California. Normal heart functions require a high-degree of coordination of at least two major properties of heart cells, namely electrical and contractile functions. Since heart cells have limited ability to regenerate, their malfunction or significant loss due to aging or disease processes can lead to lethal consequences including heart failure and life-threatening rhythm disturbances. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are pluripotent and have the ability to self-renew, hence, offer an enormous potential for providing an unlimited source of cells for heart therapies. On the other hand, despite the promise, we have identified one MAJOR GAP in the field of regenerative therapy for cardiovascular diseases. The assessment and prevention of heart rhythms disturbances after transplantation of stem-cell grafts remain poorly understood. We have obtained data showing that the electrical, contractile and structural properties of hESC-derived heart cells are immature. Moreover, in vivo transplantation of the immature cells can result in life-threatening rhythm disturbances. Taken together, the central hypothesis for the proposal is that directed cardiac differentiation and maturation of hESCs will result in mature heart cells which are more suitable for therapeutic cell transplantation by facilitating optimal integration of transplanted cells into recipient hearts. To directly test the central hypothesis, we will utilize a multidisciplinary disease team approach with collaborators from diverse disciplines. We will use multidisciplinary state-of-the-art approaches to direct differentiation and facilitate stem cells maturation into human heart cells to a therapeutic scale to facilitate optimal integration of transplanted cells into recipient hearts. In vivo safety and long-term functional efficacy will be tested in a pre-clinical large animal models. Based on our existing platform and ongoing strong on-campus collaborative efforts, we anticipate to successfully translate our findings into novel approaches for treating heart diseases using cell-based therapies, at the pre-clinical or clinical level, in 5 years.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and in California. Every 34 seconds, a person in the United States dies from heart disease and more than 2,500 Americans die from heart disease each day. Heart failure, in particular, is associated with a very high mortality rate and once heart failure develops, the condition is irreversible. However, recent studies have provided exciting evidence to support the notion that stem cells may offer an enormous potential for regenerative therapy for heart failure by replacing heart cells, which are lost during heart attack or other types of heart disease processes. On the other hand, despite the promise, we have identified one MAJOR GAP in the field of regenerative therapy for heart diseases. The assessment and prevention of heart rhythm abnormalities after transplantation of stem-cell grafts remain poorly understood. Motivated by the magnitude and severity of the problems, we propose to use state-of-the-art multidisciplinary approaches to engineer human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and to test the new customized stem cells in different clinically relevant experimental models with heart failure or rhythm abnormalities. Indeed, we and others have obtained compelling data that strongly suggest that specific hESCs may be a potential source to derive new heart cells for "biological implantation" in humans in future. Specifically, the proposed research will aim to identify innovative techniques to drive the maturation of hESCs which are suitable for transplantation. We will directly assess the proper integration of the engineered hESC-derived heart cells in the experimental models. Based on our existing platform and ongoing on-campus collaborative efforts, we anticipate to successfully translate our findings into novel approaches for the development of mature human heart cells capable of proper integration and replacement of abnormal heart cells for patients with heart failure or rhythm abnormalities in California.

Slaughter Wins F.J. Lee Award
Tuesday, April 29, 2014
By Mary Beth Callahan
Lee University recently recognized Shylah Slaughter as the recipient of the 2014 F. J. Lee Award. Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Debbie Murray presented Slaughter with this award during the Honors Chapel on April 10.
Established in 1968 and named in honor of the second president of Lee University, this annual award is presented to a senior at Lee who has demonstrated high standards of integrity, leadership, service, broad campus involvement, and academic excellence. Each department may nominate one student for the award, and from these nominees a winner is selected by a faculty vote.
"Winning this award has been such an honor mostly because of the awareness that the faculty voted on it," said Slaughter. "I respect my professors here at Lee so much and to know that they chose me for this award is not only incredibly rewarding, but also very humbling."
While at Lee Slaughter has served as an advancement force worker, an admissions office worker, a member and officer of Sigma Nu Sigma, a member and officer of Sigma Tau Delta, and editor of the Lee Review.
Slaughter has volunteered with The Refuge in Cleveland, spent summer 2012 in Haiti teaching English as a second language, planned a 5K for sex trafficking awareness, planned a book drive and writer's workshop for Ocoee Middle School, and planned service events for Lee freshman classes.
Slaughter presented creative writing pieces at the 2014 Sigma Tau Delta International Convention and the 2013 Lee University Symposium.
"Shylah's work in the classroom has been outstanding," said Dr. Kevin Brown, professor of English at Lee. "She is one of the rare students who can excel at both academic and creative work, which led her to present her fiction at an international convention and wrote one of the best academic papers in her literature class."
Slaughter will graduate summa cum laude from Lee in August 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts in English and a minor in TESOL.
After graduation, Slaughter plans to get married and start her career as the events coordinator at South Dakota State University where her husband will be attending school. In the near future, she plans to pursue a masters and doctorate in either linguistics or creative writing.

MEDFORD, Ore. — For drivers stuck in hot cars on the drive home from work, the heat wave in southern Oregon this week can put a big hurt on their car's air conditioning system.
Mechanics say too many people don't take care of their A/C system, and that can lead to costly repairs. But there are things drivers can do to avoid a big mechanic's bill.
Mechanics at Southern Oregon Auto Care said air conditioning problems are one of their most common repairs when temperatures start to go up, and their shops gets busy. They said some cars can lose Freon in the air conditioner, which prevents the A/C from cooling the car.
If the air isn't blowing cool enough, it could also be time to replace the air filter. Doing so could also prevent other costly repairs, because a clogged air filter can lead to a sluggish engine.
"Sometimes the air flow coming out of the air conditioning doesn't blow quite as hard as it should. And the cabin air filter is a common problem," said owner Ron Shubin. "Just pull that air filter, a lot of consumers can do that themselves. If it gets plugged up, it doesn't flow and doesn't cool as well."
Using the A/C can also put a strain on engine belts. Shubin recommends checking under the hood to make sure the belts aren't cracked or frayed.

Translate this page Jury deliberations to resume in trial of ex-cop who blinded womanMonday, May 12th, 2014 Issue 20, Volume 18.
Enoch "Jeremy" Clark, 38, could face more than 20 years behind bars if convicted of assault by a peace officer causing injury, assault with a less lethal weapon, battery causing serious injury and assault resulting in great bodily injury. Clark is accused of shooting a pepper spray pistol at point-blank range, directly into the eyes of 32-year-old Monique Hernandez on the night of Feb. 21, 2012. Jury deliberations began Wednesday morning. Deputy District Attorney Mike Carney told jurors in his closing statement that instead of behaving like a professional law enforcement officer, Clark got "annoyed" with Hernandez as she bucked his attempts to handcuff her. "And look at what happened," Carney said. "Monique Hernandez will never see again." The prosecutor condemned the Clark for firing a JPX pepper spray gun, which discharges propellant at 400 mph, 10 inches from Hernandez's face while arresting her for misdemeanor DUI, characterizing all of the defendant's statements to investigators regarding what happened as "bull----." "There was no imminent threat to his life. He wasn't slipping off balance when he pulled that trigger," the prosecutor said. "Any option was better than what he did. He goes from a little bit of effort to inflicting a brutal injury." "She has her hands behind her back. Yes, she's mouthy and drunk, but there is no way to justify his response," Carney said. Defense attorney Steve Sanchez faulted his client's superiors, inadequate training on the weapon, unclear instructions on how to use it and other factors for what transpired. Sanchez said the JPX manufacturer's warnings on the minimum safe distance to fire the pepper pistol were confusing. He pointed to errors in the instruction manual, including a misplaced comma that suggested the weapon could be fired from one meter -- three feet -- away, instead of the 1.5 meters actually required. The attorney said that because the Beaumont Police Department was "too cheap" to purchase practice cartridges, officers were deployed with the JPX devices without ever having had an opportunity to fire them. Sanchez said his client's decision to fire the pepper spray gun was "made in a split second, and you can't second-guess the officer." A dash-cam videotape taken from Clark's patrol car on the night of the confrontation showed a drunken Hernandez with her hands behind her back, jostling as Clark attempts to handcuff her. The lawman repeatedly tells the woman to "stop resisting" and "get your hands behind your back," while Hernandez answers, "I'm not resisting" and demands to know why she's being taken into custody. The grainy black-and-white video clip runs two to three minutes, at the end of which Clark reaches toward his duty belt and unholsters a device, firing it into Hernandez's face. Clark is free on $50,000 bail. Closing statements set in trial of ex-cop who blinded woman RIVERSIDE - Closing arguments are scheduled tomorrow in the trial of a former Beaumont cop who fired a pepper spray pistol into a woman's eyes, permanently blinding her, in what the prosecution argues was a criminal act of violence and the defense contends was a mistake due to insufficient training. Enoch "Jeremy" Clark, 38, could face more than 20 years in prison if convicted of assault resulting in great bodily injury, as well as assault by a peace officer, unnecessary force causing injury and related felonies connected to the Feb. 21, 2012, arrest of 32-year-old Monique Hernandez. The defense called its final witness Friday, after which the prosecution commenced Advertisement Clark's attorneys have relied on experts in law enforcement tactics to counter the prosecution's contention that the ex-cop engaged in a deliberate act of violence to subdue Hernandez. A defense witness last week testified that the user manual for the JPX pepper spray gun in Clark's possession was riddled with ambiguous information, including the minimum safe distance to fire the non-lethal weapon. The manual states 1.5 meters -- about 5 feet -- but the defense questioned how a law enforcement officer with only a couple hours training with the device would know whether that's five feet from a subject with his arm extended or holding the device close to his vest. Clark fired the pistol, which resembles a Star Trek Phaser and ejects propellant at 400 mph, about 10 inches from Hernandez's face, according to the prosecution. A dash-cam videotape taken from Clark's patrol car on the night of the confrontation showed a drunken Hernandez with her hands behind her back, struggling against Clark as he attempts to handcuff her. The lawman repeatedly tells the woman to "stop resisting" and "get your hands behind your back," while Hernandez answers, "I'm not resisting" and demands to know why she's being taken into custody. A fellow patrolman is nearby, facing a half-dozen members of Hernandez's family, who are shouting at the officers not to "rough her up." The poorly illuminated, black-and-white video clip runs two to three minutes, at the end of which Clark reaches toward his duty belt and unholsters the pepper spray pistol, firing it inches away from Hernandez's face. "Officer Clark was not having to fight her off," said Deputy District Attorney Mike Carney. "He was losing patience with her. He was getting annoyed with this woman because she would not submit to his will." Carney scoffed at the statements Clark later made to sheriff's detectives, who handled the investigation. "He tells them she was trying to get away from him, that he was afraid for his life, afraid that she might gouge his eyes out," Carney said. Carney alleged the officer's decision to fire the JPX pepper spray gun into Hernandez's eyes went against everything he'd been trained to do. Defense attorney Steve Sanchez said that his client's use of force was "proper and correct." Sanchez played the tape from Clark's patrol unit, but also from the pocket tape recorders that both Clark and his partner had on them while taking Hernandez into custody. The audio mix presented a picture of "confusion, chaos and tension" that the two officers experienced while attempting to make a "simple DUI arrest," the attorney said. Sanchez dismissed Clark's training on the JPX pistol as "terrible, deplorable," noting that the weapon is manufactured in Switzerland, and the instruction manual and video are fraught with misspellings and obscure directions. "Officer Clark gave 17 commands for the suspect to stop resisting," Sanchez said. "At what point does he have to put his safety at risk?" According to the prosecution, Clark went to arrest Hernandez after she had gotten into a scuffle with her sister's boyfriend at another location and drove back to her family's residence. The pepper spray propellant split a cornea in one of her eyes and severely damaged the optical nerve, leaving her blind, according to Los Angeles attorney Milton Grimes, who is representing Hernandez in a federal lawsuit against Clark and Beaumont. The defendant is free on $50,000 bail. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

- 1/4 cup(s) raisins
- 1/4 cup(s) honey

SodaStream Can Help Your Thanksgiving Planning
Ms. Fizz | Friday, November 5th, 2010 |1. To enhance your main dishes: Whether glazed or braised, cola has been a longstanding accent to some sweet, juicy Thanksgiving hams and other pork dishes. From uber-simple recipes such as this cola-braised pork stew from Epicurious to a more technical cola-braised pot roast courtesy of Emeril Legasse, there's something for every level of culinary keenness. So what about cola makes it so perfect for pork? According to Marc of the cooking blog "No Recipes," braising ham in cola not only adds a complementary sweet flavor but it also reduces the salt content and softens the meat. [Also check out Marc's delicious-looking cherry cola bacon!] So this Thanksgiving, try adding some fizzy flavor to that flank.
2. To enhance your desserts: There are cakes and then there are cakes that are extra fluffy and even fat free. For the brave dieter of the season, diet soda can act as a stand-in for the egg/water you typically are instructed to add to cake mixes. There is a fabulous list of combinations living over on Food.com; we're especially intrigued by the yellow-cake and lemon-lime combo as well as white cake mix with ginger ale. Hungry for more dessert recipes? Check out some of our earlier SodaStream posts.
3. To keep your guests entertained: You're running late with the dinner preparations, but family members and guests are already drinking. Punctuate those glasses of wine with some sobering, but just as fancy, sparkling water from your SodaStream. It adds variety and isn't as boring as plain ole' tap. Plus they can be entertained as they make their own sparkly!
4. To keep the kids involved: Everyone loves to feel fancy at dinner for an event as important as Thanksgiving. Rather than give your underage guests sparkling apple cider (which is typically chock full of unhealthy sugars), how about serving them sparkling water with a spritz of white grape or apple juice instead?

All You Need Is Love and Other Lies About Marriage: How to Save Your Marriage Before It's Too Late (Paperback)$15.99
Usually Ships in 1-5 days from Our Distributor
DescriptionWhy is it so difficult to remain married in the twenty-first century, and what can you do about it? We all know that half of today's marriages end in divorce, but we tend to believe that our own marriages are safe. As psychiatrist John Jacobs explains in this fresh and impassioned book, marriages today are incredibly fragile, and unless a couple understands what is making contemporary marriage so vulnerable to dissolution, the marriage is at risk. Part of the problem is that people refuse to see how social and historical forces have changed the very meaning of marriage, causing serious interpersonal unhappiness. Because of increased longevity, married people live together longer than at any time in history. There's been an erosion of the social and cultural forces that traditionally kept marriages together. Confusion over gender-role responsibilities, increased expectations of sexual satisfaction, and intense time pressures on couples to work and be successful all create marital stress. And yet, most people don't acknowledge the problems in their marriage until it is too late. We tend to believe in the "lies of marriage" -- such concepts as soul mates, unconditional love, that children improve a relationship, that the sexual revolution has made marital sex more pleasurable, or that egalitarian marriage offers couples easy solutions -- and forget to engage in the constant hardwork required to keep our marriages alive. Dr. Jacobs believes that most marriages have significant problems at some time, but until we recognize the new realities of marriage and develop the skills required to sustain a loving, intimate relationship, marriages are at risk. Of course marriage is about love. But that's just the beginning. About the AuthorJohn W. Jacobs, M.D., is a psychiatrist in private practice in Manhattan. He is a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the New York University School of Medicine where he teaches couples and family therapy to psychiatric residents. He lives in New York City with his wife and children. Praise for All You Need Is Love and Other Lies About Marriage: How to Save Your Marriage Before It's Too Late…"This particularly thoughtful and articulate volume marks the arrival of a major new voice in couple's psychology." |
