I wanted to write and tell you how much we enjoyed the Las Vegas Optic. I like to buy a local newspaper while traveling and look at the news and events of towns and cities we pass through. My sister and I traveled 2,000 miles in four days; your newspaper was the most informative and most interestingly written of all the papers we perused on our trip.

SANTA FE — Final resolution in the Michael Gallegos case will have to wait a while longer.
Gallegos, 19, had been scheduled for sentencing Friday morning in a Santa Fe district courtroom for his role in the August 2008 Robertson football hazing scandal. But a reported bout with kidney stones prevented Gallegos' lead attorney, Billy Blackburn, from attending the hearing, and a postponement was ordered by Judge Mark Macaron.
Both sides acknowledged that the delay was necessary, albeit an inconvenience to participants.
Thumbs UP to ... A SMOOTH WEEKEND FOR ROUGH RIDERS. Aside from the rain, last weekend's motorcycle rally went very smoothly, from its staffing to the schedule of events posted on the Internet. In fact, it was so smooth it begs the question — why couldn't the fiestas have run that well?
Hey, is it just me, or do you see our hard-earned tax dollars being wasted? First, we choke Mother Earth with street pavement. Then, we build speed bumps ("speed humps" in Old Town). Why don't we just leave dirt roads and streets? Dirt roads work very well in the country in slowing down drivers.
Think of all the taxpayers' money we'd save. Mother Earth wouldn't have as many freak storms and hurricanes, etc., just to breath.
Las Vegas City Schools officials say more state budget cuts will mean they'll have to further trim local spending.
Among the possibilities for reductions are closing a school and cutting travel for athletics, they said.
Some officials also said they wished local state legislators would have attended a school board meeting this week about the budget cuts. They said they invited the lawmakers.
Highlands University has a reputation as a school that doesn't cost much: The tuition is the lowest of any state university. Coupled with the low tuition is a high proportion of students who receive significant financial aid. For many, the tuition is irrelevant. They're not paying it anyway.
Young soccer players in the Meadow City area are being encouraged to sign up for the coming season of Las Vegas Youth Soccer League.
Through Monday, the fee for each player is $40, but after that deadline, the cost rises to $60. (Families with multiple players entered receive a $5 discount for each additional player.)
The league is open to anyone between 4 and 19 years old as of July 31.

Team Vegas overcame multiple forms of adversity this week to advance in the state Little League tournament for 11-12 baseball.
The short story: Las Vegas Little League's 11-12 All-Stars defeated Española 5-4.
The longer version:
• LVLL barely fielded enough players to make a minimum team, with two having left to join the Las Vegas Avalanche 14-and-under squad in the Triple Crown World Series.
Calling opinion the truth does not make it so! In David Giuliani's July 5 column, he opined that racial profiling will follow from the Arizona immigration law, in direct violation of that same law. Are some law enforcement officials criminals? Obviously some may be — it has been known to happen here in New Mexico, too. However, I believe that the vast majority of Arizona officers are honorable. (And my naturalized daughter's rights are riding upon this; she was born in Paraguay.)
Neighbors to the north, the Colfax County Fair organizers are inviting participation in its first sand volleyball tournament.
The tournament will carry a three-on-three co-ed format, with a maximum of four players per team, and it will be held beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 14, at Springer's POW Park. Team captains are asked to meet at 8:30 a.m.
Entry fee is $60 a team, and deadline for entry is 8 a.m. the day of the event. To register, or more more information, contact Miguel Vasquez at 429-9962.

70 Years of Academics and Community!
In 2009 we celebrated our 70th anniversary making Highland the oldest school in Stow and Munroe Falls. We are proud of our continued focus on student development and providing the best education to the children of our community.
The Highland Library has ungone big changes over the summer!
As a result of a multi-year committment by the PTA, we were able to purchase new shelving, carpet, and paint for our library. During the spring, several parent volunteers worked tirelessly to pack up our entire collection. This August about 20 SMF High School students representing the National Honor Society and Student Council, not only unpacked and reshelved the entire colection, but also worked with the librain to start to crosscheck the numbering system. We could not have accomplished this renovation without the support of the PTA, parent volunteers and the highschool volunteers.
Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen!
As a service project, Highland Troop 1015 donated books to the Highland Library. The girls each picked a book to be added to the library collection and presented them to Mr. Worcester, media specialist. Thank you to this troop for doing such a great job on this project!

A Miami Store Owner Installed Video Cameras To Protect Customers And Employees From The Police
Is it opposite day?
1. Quickstop store owner Alex Saleh recently installed 16 security cameras in his store in Miami, but it's not to catch criminals, it's to catch cops.
The problems began after Saleh agreed to participate in a "zero tolerance" program aimed at reducing crime. The Miami Herald reports that via the program, police are given "broad powers to stop and arrest people who appear to be loitering or trespassing at the participating business."
2. Saleh alleges that police officers constantly harass his customers and employees, in particluar store clerk Earl Sampson.
Sampson has been stopped by cops 258 times in the past four years and issued 62 citations for trespassing at the store where he works. Surveillance footage posted by the Miami Herald shows Sampson being arrested by police immediately after taking out the garbage during his shift.

Mass Revision
This Advent, big changes are coming to the Mass.
Some experts say you aren't ready for them.
Find out the truth (and the experts' real motives)
in Jimmy Akin's newest book.
[Donate now and receive a free copy of Jimmy's newest book Mass Revision]
Dear Friend of Catholic Answers:
If you're "of a certain age" (as I am), you remember when the language of the Mass changed from Latin to English. At the time, the "experts" told us the change wouldn't be as hard as some people feared.
You know what? They were right.
Although the Mass had been celebrated in Latin all our lives, most of us knew the English version that appeared on the facing pages of our missals. The new English translation was quite a bit different from that one, but it was still English. Yes, the first few Sundays were awkward, but soon we had everything memorized. Piece of cake.
This time, the "experts" say we're incompetent.
That was about forty years ago. Starting this Advent, the Mass is undergoing another language change, but this time it's from English to English—that is, from the somewhat flat and sometimes inaccurate translation we've been using to one that's a bit more stately and a lot more accurate.
And guess what? Now many "experts" are claiming that the transition will be so confusing that either we shouldn't go to the new version at all or, at the very least, we should delay the changes until everyone has been "properly catechized" (which means: someday in the distant future).
Why this strange attitude? I think it's because the new translation brings back the "vertical" sense of the Mass—and because it reduces the chances for liturgical abuses.
One of the problems with the translation we've been using is that it has emphasized the "horizontal" to the detriment of the "vertical." Yes, it's important to keep in mind our relationship to one another, but the key point of the Mass should be our relationship to God, right?
After all, the Mass is the re-presentation (the "presenting again") of the sacrifice of Our Lord on Calvary. This basic fact has been obscured, in the minds of many, by a translation that uses "horizontal" language when "vertical" language would be more accurate or fuzzy language when precise language is needed.
Let me give you my favorite example.
Now you see me. Now you don't.
For forty years, as we recite the Creed, we've been saying that we believe in "all things seen and unseen." The underlying Latin is "visibilium omnium et invisibilium." The proper translation of this really is "all things visible and invisible."
Does it make a difference? It sure does. Here's how I explain it to audiences when I'm standing on a stage in front of a curtain. I say,
"If I duck behind this curtain, you can't see me. That means I'm 'unseen.' But none of you will think I've become 'invisible. '" The two words just don't mean the same thing.
"In the Creed, the phrase 'all things visible and invisible' means, for example, that we believe in angels, which are spirits and therefore are invisible. It doesn't mean we are testifying to our belief in the far side of the Moon, which is 'unseen' but is hardly 'invisible.'"
Words matter—not just because accurate words help us understand our faith accurately but because inaccurate words leave wiggle room for people who want to tinker with the Mass.
So it's no surprise that 22,000 people—including lots of liturgical "experts"—have signed an online petition protesting the new translation. The petition appears at a web site called, appropriately, whatifwejustsaidwait.org.
These same people can be counted on to undermine the new translation as it is implemented in parishes around the country. Why would they try to do that—and why do they think you and I aren't ready for a new translation?
Because the new translation undermines their agenda. It works against the liturgical abuses that so many of these people endorse.
But Pope Benedict sees through all this. He knows they're wrong—and he knows their motives. He envisions the new translation "as a springboard for a renewal and a deepening of Eucharistic devotion all over the English-speaking world."
Your essential handbook to the revised Mass
To help cut through the confusion concerning the new translation of the Mass, Catholic Answers is introducing a new book by best-selling author Jimmy Akin. The title is Mass Revision.
In this new book Jimmy guides you step-by-step through the revised Mass, making sure you understand what is changing and what is remaining the same. He explains how the new translation is superior to the existing one and how it brings out better the sense of the official Latin text.
But Mass Revision isn't just about the changes to the language of the Mass. It's also about the Church's rules governing the Mass: How should it (and how shouldn't it) be celebrated? Who should—and who shouldn't—serve at Mass? Which liturgical postures are proper, and which aren't? Which furnishings and vestments are permissible, and which aren't?
Jimmy's book also lets you know exactly what counts as a liturgical abuse and what doesn't—and what you can do when you discover an authentic abuse.
Mass Revision contains lots of bonus material, such as:
- A guide to the Church's liturgical documents
- A timeline of how the Mass has changed over the last half century
- The Vatican's norms regarding "inclusive language"
- Guidelines for receiving Communion—who can, who can't, and how to receive
- Cardinal Ratzinger's memo on Communion for politicians who support abortion
- The Holy See's list of liturgical abuses classified by severity
- An index of commonly questioned practices and which are permitted or prohibited
- An extensive glossary that demystifies liturgical terms
Mass Revision will be a one-stop information source about the new translation of the Mass and about what is allowed and what isn't. It summarizes information found in dozens of official documents, all in one handy volume.
Jimmy's new book will do immense good for a lot of people.
I've been involved in writing and publishing for a long time, so I know that bringing a book to fruition and getting it noticed (and sold!) is no easy thing.
Each year more than 40,000 titles are published in the U.S., and it takes savvy and, alas, cash to get a worthwhile book "noticed" and reviewed and (as I think this one will be) praised, but that's what needs to be done if Mass Revision is to have the influence I think it ought to have.
In publishing, as in other areas, there's a "window of opportunity." And for us that "window" is closing soon, since the new translation will go into effect this Advent—just a short time away. That's why I wanted to have a large first-run printing and an extensive right-out-of-the-gate marketing campaign.
I want this book to "go viral"—because every Catholic in the pew needs it.
To use a term common on the Internet, I want this book to "go viral," which means to have publicity about it be self-sustaining so that more and more people can learn about—and learn from—this important book.
I hope you might be one of those willing to help with a gift of $500 or $1,000 or even more. Or maybe you can afford to send us $100 or $200 toward this effort. Whatever you send, you have our thanks.
If you're able to help us with a donation of at least $40, as a thank-you, we'll send you in return two things:
- A copy of the book itself, of course, autographed by Jimmy Akin.
- An exclusive audio interview with Jimmy about the changes to the Mass. This interview will not be made available in the future and is available only as a thank-you to those who help with this project.
The value of these two gifts is over $26.
Perhaps you can tell from this letter that I'm excited about this project. I think Jimmy's new book will do a lot of good for a lot of people—in fact, for everyone who goes to Mass.
Mass Revision not only will clear up confusions that people might have (including confusions they might be given by "experts"), but it will help bring the whole experience of the Mass to a higher, more spiritual, and more fruitful level for everyone who reads it.
Won't you help us prepare the way for the big changes that are coming this Advent?
Many thanks for your help!
Sincerely in Christ,
Karl Keating
President, Catholic Answers

Reid v. Ingerman Smith LLP, No. 12-CV-0307(ILG-MDG) (E.D.N.Y. Dec. 27, 2012): In a sexual harassment lawsuit where the plaintiff sought emotional damages, the defendant filed a motion to compel discovery concerning the plaintiff's social media accounts. The defendant argued that public postings on the plaintiff's Facebook account contradicted her claim of mental anguish, and therefore any private postings and photographs might contain information relevant to the plaintiff's state of mind. The plaintiff argued that she had an expectation of privacy with respect to her social media accounts and that the court should not require her to produce private information. While the court agreed that the plaintiff had some expectation of privacy, it explained that this expectation did not shield relevant communications from discovery. The court therefore ordered that the plaintiff disclose all communications and photographs that "reveal, refer, or relate to any emotion, feeling, or mental state . . . [and] that reveal, refer, or relate to events that could reasonably [be] expected to produce a significant emotion, feeling[,] or mental state." However, the court held that the plaintiff need not disclose her private postings in full, and could withhold postings that have no bearing on her emotional state, such as posts of events concerning others. This decision reinforces the growing impact of social media on employment litigation and the importance for employers to incorporate social media communications into discovery requests.

There's a pretty good chance the Super Bowl XLI performance of a player with the surname Manning will determine the fate of the Chicago Bears in Sunday night's championship game.
The twist: The game might be as much about Ricky Manning as Peyton.
Yep, if you're looking for a player who is crucial to the Chicago game plan but who might still be flying a tad below the radar in terms of public consciousness, Manning is a defender worthy of close attention. There is considerable speculation that the Bears will lean heavily on a nickel scheme to try to counter tight end Dallas Clark, who has become a go-to receiver for Peyton Manning in the playoffs, and leads the Colts with 17 postseason catches.
And a big part of that speculation is that Ricky Manning, and not middle linebacker Brian Urlacher, will draw the assignment of shadowing Clark. In fact, Manning has done nothing this week to dispel the rumor that he often will be locked up on the Colts' tight end.
"My role is going to be very important," said Manning, one of the NFL's premier nickel cornerbacks. "It's important against any offense that uses a lot of three-wide receiver sets, and they use Dallas Clark as the third wide receiver."
Indeed, with standout slot receiver Brandon Stokley on injured reserve with a ruptured Achilles, and venerable Ricky Proehl having done little to replace him adequately, versatile Clark essentially has become Indianapolis' third wideout. The four-year veteran is flexible enough to align in-line as a conventional tight end, can move out into the slot and even can flank 15-20 yards wide to the sideline.
It could be a gamble for Chicago to rely too much on a nickel look. That would mean having to stop the Indianapolis running game without strongside linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer on the field. It also would leave Manning covering the much bigger Clark. But the Bears might not have much choice against Clark, who has a league-best 281 receiving yards in the playoffs.
Manning, though, also has enjoyed some success in postseason play. The three-year veteran, signed by the Bears as a restricted free agent last spring, has five playoff interceptions in his career. That includes one pickoff this year and four in 2003, three of them in that year's NFC Championship Game, when Manning was with the Carolina Panthers.
No one is counting on Manning repeating that feat Sunday, but if he can control Clark in the middle of the field, the former UCLA standout will provide the Bears an opportunity for an upset victory.
Beyond the performance of Ricky Manning, the Bears will win if …
1. The Chicago cornerback tandem of Nathan Vasher and Charles Tillman can keep Colts wide receivers Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne from making big plays, which could be a daunting task. Despite their reputation as a Cover 2 defense, the Bears played roughly 45 percent man coverage in the second half of the season and in the playoffs. That means Chicago could have a couple of Cover 2 cornerbacks, guys who don't run especially well and are known to overreact to double moves, playing one-on-one on the outside. If the Chicago cornerbacks bite on the play fakes from Peyton Manning, the NFL's best sleight-of-hand artist, it could be a long day. So Tillman and Vasher, who love to move up on the ball in front of them, have to maintain position and get a bit physical with the Colts' wideouts.

BlouInsight, November 2011
November 2011
Vol. 4, No. 8
This will be my last newsletter of 2011 so I want to take this opportunity to wish all of you a safe and happy holiday season and hope that you are all able to spend time with those you love and reflect on those things in life that are most important.
This past year has certainly not been without its challenges, but 2011 has also brought more than its share of great achievements. Most of them have been chronicled in this newsletter, and I would like to highlight one more before the year ends.
This past summer, we hired Chris Davidson as director of educational technology research and development. His position was to be the nucleus of an instructional innovation team that would grow over time. However, as the semester got underway, we were presented with an unique opportunity: The University announced the dissolution of ITS Teaching and Learning due to this year's severe budget cuts, which suddenly made an incredible pool of talent available to us—but we had to act quickly.
, PhD, former vice chancellor of teaching and learning for the University, agreed to join us as a research associate professor and special adviser to the dean on instructional innovation along with Charles GreenCatherine MacAllister and Jason Whitley, two new instructional designers. We are actively recruiting a computer programmer to round out the team.
Initiative one of the School's strategic plan is the educational renaissance, our plan to transform the education of our students by creatively and thoughtfully changing the way we teach. The creation of new instructional technologies is an important aspect of that initiative. This will not happen without a careful allocation of resources in order to ensure long-term benefits for the School, our faculty, and our students. I am confident that the significant investment we have made in instructional innovation will pay the dividends that we seek.
Green will lead our educational renaissance initiative along with vice dean Russ Mumper, PhD, and will work closely with faculty to create, develop, and integrate new educational offerings into the curriculum. We have an ambitious agenda that will break new ground in pharmacy education.
And much like our research program, we have a policy in place to encourage School employees to develop innovative instructional materials and to allow the School to commercialize and distribute those materials to the mutual benefit of the School and the creator. Faculty and staff with an idea they would like to develop can find the Instructional Innovation Participation Agreement outlining the terms of the program on our website.
The School has received its first grant in support of instructional innovation. Echo360 is providing $10,000 to examine the effectiveness of the company's capture technology in facilitating successful lecture replacement and helping the School achieve the type of advanced teaching and learning experiences.
The Division of Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics has made some recent enhancements to its administrative structure. Herb Patterson, PharmD, has been named the division's first executive vice chair. He will be responsible for overseeing budgetary and personnel matters. Angela Kashuba, PharmD, has assumed the post of vice chair for research and graduate education. The division has also appointed Tim Wiltshire, PhD, to succeed Roy Hawke, PhD, as the division's director of graduate studies. Jo Ellen Rodgers, PharmD, fills the new post of associate director of clinical fellowship programs.
Amanda Corbett, PharmD, has been elected as our 2012 AACP Alternate Delegate. Corbett is a clinical assistant professor in the Division of Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics.
Preceptors Sara Dawson, PharmD, and Dana Petri, PharmD, have each been elected to a three-year term as a member-at-large for the NCAP Community Care Practice Forum executive committee.
Tasha Michaels, PharmD, is the new chair-elect of the NCAP Community Care Practice Forum executive committee. Michaels is a preceptor with our PGY1 and PGY2 community pharmacy residency program and an adjunct assistant professor in the Division of Pharmacy Practice and Experiential Education.
Abby Caplan Reynolds, PharmD, has been elected to a two-year term as a member-at-large for the NCAP Community Care Practice Forum executive committee. Reynolds is a PGY2 community pharmacy residency preceptor at Kerr Drug and an adjunct assistant professor in PPEE.
Jennifer Robertson, PharmD, has been certified as a clinical pharmacist practitioner by the NC Board of Pharmacy and NC Board of Medicine. She is a clinical assistant professor in PPEE and pharmaceutical care lab coordinator at the School's Elizabeth City site.
Michelle Wannemuehler, PharmD, has joined the School as an adjunct assistant professor in PPEE. She is a board-certified pharmacotherapy specialist and practices at Pitt County Memorial Hospital in Greenville. She will precept students on her inpatient medicine service and mentor students during the seminar course offered in the Eastern AHEC. Wannemuehler received her PharmD from the University of Iowa and completed a PGY1 residency in family medicine at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center in South Bend, Indiana. She comes to us from Deaconess Hospital in Evansville, Indiana, where she was a clinical oncology pharmacist.
|Congratulations to our faculty in the Department of Pharmacy at UNC Hospitals. Rowell Daniels, PharmD; Stephen Eckel, PharmD; Brett Crisp, PharmD; and Robert Granko, PharmD, are all part of the group recognized by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists with a National Best Practices Award. Read the full story here.
PGY1 resident Andria Eker, PharmD, won the Know Pain, Know Gain patient-counseling competition during the NCAP Annual Convention in Greensboro on October 25.
Liz Pempe and Weichen Xu, graduate students in the Division of Chemical Biology and Medicinal Chemistry, will receive Graduate Education Advancement Board Impact Award this spring. This competition recognizes outstanding graduate student research of particular benefit to North Carolina. They will be honored at The Graduate School's Annual Student Recognition Celebration on April 4 in the Carolina Club of the George Watts Hill Alumni Center. They and the other awardees will showcase their research to the campus community, state legislators, and others who will be attending.
The latest issue of CAPSule, the newsletter of the Carolina Association of Pharmacy Students, is available online. This issue features the PY2's video created for the APhA-ASP Pharmflix contest, Cameron Jordan's rotation experience at St. Jude Children's Hospital, and student activities here at the School.
Hyosung Lee, PhD, is a new postdoctoral research associate in the lab of Hal Kohn, PhD, in the Division of Chemical Biology and Medicinal Chemistry. Lee received his doctorate from the University of Kentucky and comes to UNC after a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago.
Catherine MacAllister, MEd, has joined the School's instructional innovation team as an instructional designer. MacAllister has been with the University for eight years as an instructional designer, first for the Institute for Science Learning and then for ITS Teaching and Learning. She also served a stint as Science 360 coordinator for the Morehead Planetarium. She received her master's degree in educational media and instructional design, as well as her bachelor's degree, from UNC-Chapel Hill and has more than ten years' experience in the instructional design field.
Geri Middleton was honored at a banquet on October 14 as a nominee for the UNC Human Resources Facilitator of the Year.
Randall Roberts is the new director of communications for the Office of Advancement, where she is responsible for Carolina Pharmacy, PharmacE-news, the School's annual report, and other alumni and advancement publications. She comes to us from Des Moines, Iowa, where she worked as editor and graphic designer at the Lexicon Group after graduating from Drake University.
Craig Sykes, MS, has joined the Clinical Pharmacology/Analytical Chemistry Core of the UNC Center for AIDS Research as a bioanalytical assay development scientist. Sykes has worked as a scientist at a number of RTP companies over nearly ten years, including Triangle Laboratories, Enthalpy Analytical, and Tandem Labs. He received his master's degree in analytical chemistry from UNC-Chapel Hill and his BS from UNC-Wilmington.
Brian Teng, PhD, is a new postdoctoral research associate in the Division of Chemical Biology and Medicinal Chemistry. Teng received his PhD in pharmacology from Duke University and did his undergraduate work at the University of Arizona.
Jason Whitley is another new member of the School's instructional innovation group. Whitley spent nearly ten years creating infographics and illustrations for newspapers in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and Charlotte before coming to the University in 2008. He has worked for the past three years for ITS Teaching and Learning, first as an animator and multimedia specialist and then as creative lead. He holds a bachelor of fine arts from the University of Georgia.
Staff Profile: Dave Maldonado
Dave Maldonado, the School's director of information technology, first arrived at the School as a temporary employee in January 1998 and moved into a full-time position in September 1999. He was put in charge of IT in January 2004 as the School was in the early stages of implementing the UNC/ECSU Doctor of Pharmacy Partnership Program.
Maldonado earned a bachelor's degree in education from Tusculum College in Greeneville, Tenn., and after a stint in the Air Force and an honorable discharge, he went to work for Rite-Aid in 1989. For the next ten years, he got an up-close look at pharmacy operations as a district manager tasked with implementing new data systems. His career path eventually led him to Sanford, North Carolina. He was there when he met his wife, a UNC grad and Campbell Law School student at the time. That meeting led him to drop anchor in Chapel Hill and think about a career change that focused more on computers and IT, which led him to the School.
When he arrived, Maldonado was part of an operation that only had to cover Beard Hall and manage a wired network. Now he is responsible for Beard, Kerr Hall, and the Genetic Medicine building, and he points to the installation of the School's wireless network as the most significant technological advance of his tenure, especially considering that there are many buildings on campus that still do not have wireless access.
Maldonado brings a great deal of enthusiasm to his job as he has seen firsthand the importance of what we do here from his time at Rite-Aid. Not to mention his legendary love of the Tar Heels.
Faculty Spotlight: Herb Patterson, PharmD
There hasn't been a class of drugs developed to fight heart failure in the past thirty years that doesn't bear the imprint of J. Herbert Patterson, PharmD, professor, new executive vice chair of DPET, and research professor of medicine.
Patterson's contributions have taken many forms from ground-breaking research and clinical care to teaching and inspiring the next generation of pharmacy leaders. In addition to his teaching and administrative duties with the School, he currently serves as cochair of the University's Biomedical Institutional Review Board. Since joining the faculty in 1981, Patterson has coauthored more than 120 publications and has served as an investigator on more than eighty heart-related clinical trials.
Patterson entered East Tennessee State University in 1971 with his sights set on engineering but soon changed his major to prepharmacy and began working part-time at a local community pharmacy. He received his BS in pharmacy in 1977 and his PharmD in 1979, both from the University of Tennessee Center for Health Sciences in Memphis. Throughout his academic career, he worked part-time in community pharmacies. His intention was to return to his hometown as a community pharmacist following graduation. However, during his clinical rotation, Patterson discovered the attraction of what he calls the front end of pharmacy care: working directly with doctors to jointly determine what was best for their patients.
After completing a residency, Patterson practiced for a year in the City of Memphis Hospital as a clinical specialist before joining the School as an assistant professor of pharmacy.
Since 1984 Patterson has collaborated with Kirk Adams, MD, a cardiologist at the UNC School of Medicine, and their current research interests are directed at individualizing drug therapy for heart failure patients. He has also been active in the Heart Failure Society of America since its formation in 1994, serving on the Clinical Practice Guidelines Committee from 1998 to 2006.

Whitney's career a saga of highs and lows
Her career as a touring artist began in San Diego in 1985
More on Whitney Houston
Whitney Houston, superstar of records, films, dies
Hudson to honor Houston at Grammys
Interactive: Troubled life of Whitney Houston
Hear it: "I Will Always Love You"
In its prime, and when armed with the right song, Whitney Houston's glorious voice could elevate her listeners like few others, conveying life-affirming emotions with gospel music-fueled fire and impeccable dynamic control. Alas, as her stardom grew, Houston's control of her own life became increasingly shaky and her descent into drug abuse robbed her of that glorious voice.
Her death Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles occurred just hours before a Pre-Grammy Gala that she was scheduled to attend (and possibly perform at). Her passing, at the age of 48, brought to an end a tumultuous career that soared early on, then skidded into a series of debilitating, soul-depleting travails that affirmed how little control even the once most glamorous of stars can exert.
Saturday's Pre-Grammy Gala was hosted by record industry legend Clive Davis, the man who signed Houston to Arista Records and spent more two years grooming her for stardom and helping her hone her 1985 debut album. That album, the self-titled "Whitney Houston," quickly yielded two hit singles "You Give Good Love" and "Saving All My Love for You." The album went on to sell 10 million copies within the first year of its release, buoyed by three chart-topping singles, "The Greatest Love of All," "How Will I Know?" and "Saving All My Love for You."
Then again, if ever a singer had music in her blood, it was Houston.
Her mother, Cissy Houston, was the leader of the Sweet Inspirations, the highly acclaimed vocal group prominent in the 1960s for backing Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin. Her first cousin is Grammy Award-winning singer Dionne Warwick. By age 13, Whitney had joined the musician's union and was performing on records by Lou Rawls, Chaka Khan and, periodically, her mother. The precocious teenager then sang on albums by artists as varied as the Neville Brothers and the avant-garde New York funk group, Material.
"I was 11 or 12 when I decided I wanted to be a professional singer, but I had been singing gospel music in church long before that," Houston told me in a 1985 San Diego Union interview. "My parents were basically happy about my decision to pursue singing. My mother said, 'Oh, my god. I don't believe it!' But she was very supportive. I learned so much from my mother. She's not with me when I'm on stage, but I feel her presence in the wings." (The elder Houston candidly acknowledged her influence on her daughter. "She rips me off right in front of my face," Cissy Houston said. "But that's all right. She does it so well.")
The first two concerts on Whitney Houston's first tour took place in San Diego, at Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay, on Aug. 29, 1985. Her singing was as electrifying and visceral as her album was safe and slick, but her sense of stage craft was minimal at best. Arista honcho Davis had apparently focused on polishing Houston's debut album to an overly fine sheen, overlooking the fact that she had little stage experience.

I spent some time reading. Additive colour printing uses the sharp cutting filters. I guess #29,47b and 59? It wouldn't suprise me if the combination of red,blue and green leds with some sort of filter in the head would work. The same thing could be used for high contrast with sticking a blue filter in the head.
Did Huw use 1w leds then? Makes me feel a little better-)) Those 5w ones are expensive if you need 200 of them. Plus the cost of a heat sink.

SEPANG: It's better late than never – that's what Ronhazli Adam, 42, was thinking about when he finally flew back home.
"I was originally supposed to fly back from Cologne, Germany, last Sunday but because of the flight disruptions I was told to go to Frankfurt where the Malaysian Airlines (MAS) office is located," the telco company worker said yesterday.
After spending two nights in Frankfurt, he said he began to feel desperate.
"We were told that we may have to travel to Rome where flights were not affected.
"But luckily I managed to board this flight back,'' Rohanzli added.
Ronhazli was among hundreds of passengers on Flight MH001S from Frankfurt to KLIA.
MAS was the first Asean carrier to fly out of Frankfurt since the volcanic ash eruption. The flight landed at KLIA at 5.52pm.
Passengers who disembarked looked tired but relief was written all over their face.
Dr Sharifah Fauziah, who was in Geneva for a medical conference, was also delayed on her return trip. She commended MAS for managing to arrange a flight out of Frankfurt so quickly.
"MAS had rounded up Malaysian passengers stranded all across Europe and made arrangements for us accordingly.
"It even arranged a bus to Rome to pick up stranded passengers there," she added.
Malaysian Rubber Export Promotion Council chief executive officer Datuk Teo Suat Cheng, who had been in Copenhagen for a trade show with her colleagues, was also beaming upon arrival.
"We are very grateful to MAS,'' said Teo, who was supposed to have returned home on Friday.
Flight Captain Mohd Qabil Ismail, who was at the controls of MH001S, said the flight had received special clearance to take off.
Having 37 years of experience under his belt, Mohd Qabil described the delay as his "longest wait."
"We took off at night and the weather was okay.
"It was smooth-sailing all the way," he said.
It wasn't the same feeling though for foreign tourists who are still stranded here.
Many were at the airport trying to find out when they could leave. Dutch tourist Helen Kools has been stranded in Kuala Lumpur since April 15 and is anxious to get home.
"Many of us are broke and cannot afford to stay here any longer,'' she lamented, saying that MAS had only funded one night's stay at a hotel for its passengers.
"Now, we are on our own," said the 44-year-old.
Husband and wife team Michael and Julie Drewry who were in Kuala Lumpur on transit from Hanoi have been waiting for a flight since last Thursday.
"There has been a lack of information from the airlines," said the Drewrys, who have already spent more than £1,000 (RM4,900) on their extended stay here.
MAS managing director/CEO Tengku Datuk Azmil Zahruddin told reporters at the airport that stranded passengers could check their flight status by contacting the call centre at 03-7884 1234.

WALLA WALLA — The Walla Walla Police Department wants you — at least 300 of you and in a big, pink way.
The agency has joined with Walla Walla's J.U.G.S. — Just Us Girls Sharing — to try to create the prize-winning video for the "Pink Glove Dance" competition, sponsored by Medline, a medical-supply company. The video will be shot at the track at Borleske Stadium on Thursday at 6 p.m.
The Pink Glove Dance debuted in 2009 when 200 employees of a Portland hospital danced to "Down," by Jay Sean, for a choreographed video. Every dancer wore pink gloves to signal support of breast cancer charities. The video went viral and spawned a national movement, according to Medline's website.
Now it's Walla Walla's turn, said Chalese Rabidue with the Walla Walla Department's Domestic Violence Services.
"We need 300 people to show up in pink shirts," she said. "Any shade of pink is fine. And we'll supply the pink gloves. We want to make a human pink ribbon."
Local police officers have already been busy, waving pink-gloved hands for the camera in clips that will go into the final video, she added.
The annual competition comes with a $25,000 prize for the winning video submission this year. If all goes according to plan, that money will land at Providence St. Mary Medical Center's special needs fund for those battling breast cancer. The fund helps pay transportation and lodging costs for patients, buy wigs for chemo patients, cover drugs for symptom control and pay for other associated expenses not covered by insurance.
Second prize is $10,000 and third is $5,000.
The contest goes live Oct. 17 when people can vote for their favorite. For more information contact Rabidue at 524-4400 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) in its investigations into the multi-crore National Spot Exchange Ltd. (NSEL) scam has conducted raids and searches on offices of the Aastha Group and Juggernaut Projects. It is alleged that these two companies are among the biggest defaulters in the NSEL scam and reportedly owe the investors more than Rs250 crore. After the Economic Offences Wing of Mumbai police registered a case against NSEL, the ED also filed a separate case under the stringent Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and started its investigations into the scam, which is believed to be more than Rs5,600 crore.
The ED has reportedly raided premises of Aastha group of companies located in Mumbai and Bangalore in the past few days and found incriminating documents. Evidence of diversion of funds and money laundering too has been unearthed, sources said.
During its investigations so far, ED has been able to unearth the money trail of how funds were laundered by the two companies. "Funds received from NSEL were diverted for investments in real estate, plant capacity expansion, repayment of loans and purchase of high end vehicles," an officer said.
According to ED, director of the group has reportedly admitted that contracts were launched on NSEL portal without the delivery of any physical stock of TMT bars in the NSEL warehouses and money that was received from this was diverted.
In the next step of investigations, ED is likely to attach properties of the two companies under PMLA and is conducting investigations against other defaulters and brokers as well.

A Few Days Of Plenty In Paris
By EDWARD SCHNEIDER
Published: February 16, 2003
TIME is supposed to fly when you're having a good time. But like so much else your parents taught you, that is little more than a generalization, and it seems to apply not at all to short vacations.
Over the last few years, my wife, Jackie, and I have been taking long weekend breaks, leaving after work on Wednesday and returning on Sunday night. We've discovered that time slows up --three days can seem like a full week of cultural and gastronomic activities, and even relaxation.
The first thing that occurs to most people planning a long weekend is not to go too far afield: a few hours' drive at most. But we've taken another tack: Europe. This doesn't have to be expensive. For a weekend late last October, we bought round-trip tickets to Paris for a hair over $400 each, and hotel-air fare packages can also be good value: say, $500 a person for a bare-bones hotel and $600 for nicer accommodations.
We also have a few rules for a successful weekend break:
One: Travel lighter than usual. You want to manage with just hand luggage. No one will care that you are wearing the same jacket every day.
Two: Book the best hotel you can afford. This time, we were feeling flush and eased ourselves into the lap of luxe at the Meurice.
Three: Sleep late, eat late and go to bed late. I am convinced that this minimizes jet lag. Even if it doesn't, you still get to sleep late -- a treat in itself.
Four: Do some planning. Many restaurants require reservations.
Five: Don't overplan, and don't feel guilty if you spend a couple of afternoon hours napping; you will still cover a lot of ground.
Six: Fly home in the late afternoon or the evening. This will add a solid half-day to your jaunt.
We left on a Wednesday night; Thursday morning, we were in a taxi 25 minutes after touchdown and at the hotel 40 minutes later.
And what a hotel. The Meurice was completely renovated a couple of years ago and is both splendid and welcoming. I cannot help mentioning the bathroom. Our digs were not among the hotel's grandest, but the bathroom alone was larger than most of the Paris hotel rooms we've stayed in, with an enormous claw-foot tub and Penhaligon's toiletries. The bedroom was blessedly quiet and beautifully decorated -- the French are so good at upholstery, tassels and whatnot.
Lunch was at Market, Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Paris outpost. The scene was diverse: women enjoying a long lunch, bankers, art dealers and a young couple with a baby in a stroller, who was served buttered noodles and was cooed over by the staff.
The outstanding food covers a lot of ground, too: in addition to more substantial choices, there's a raw bar and a short list of pizzas, including one of the best things I'd eaten in a while, a mini-pie topped with fontina cheese and black truffles. Great desserts, too. And Market is open on Sunday for brunch as well as dinner, a real plus on a three-day weekend.
The afternoon was spent on the best activity Paris has to offer apart from eating: strolling and getting reacquainted with the beauties of the city, which seem to be greater every time we visit. The latest initiative is a dog-mess campaign with explicit posters that seem to be startling the Parisians into picking up after their pets. In general, you can safely look up at the city now, rather than down at the sidewalk.
Dinner was at ever-crowded Astier, one of the best bargains we know: it offers a very good prix-fixe dinner for about $26.50. Appetizers include tiny cheese ravioli in a bright winter-squash sauce, various pâtés, herring with potato salad, and sautéed wild mushrooms with garlic. Main courses range from tender braised pork cheeks, to rabbit in mustard sauce, to fish in crisp brik pastry.
What sets Astier apart from other 25-buck restaurants, besides quality, is its cheese tray of about 20 choices, which is included in the price. Dessert will probably seem superfluous, but there's always room for the citrus terrine: grapefruit and orange segments bound with lightly jelled citrus juice.
We took the Métro halfway back from the Place de la République to Châtelet, walking the rest of the way in the wee-hours quiet, past the Louvre, where a banner caught our eye: the Museum of Decorative Arts was featuring Chinese posters from throughout the 20th century. We would return.
Friday morning, we were up and at 'em by 11 (see Rule 3), just in time to get in before the lunchtime rush at Ladurée's pastry palace on the Champs-Élysées. We sat in one of the lavishly decorated upstairs rooms (again, lots of tassels), but not before we'd ogled the vast marble counter and chosen our pastries: there's no getting away without eating at least two, plus perhaps a few of their famous macaroons.
After a stop at the Maille shop on the Place de la Madeleine for a jar of freshly made Dijon mustard, filled from a spigot, we made our way to the Marais. We spent two hours in the Museum of Jewish Art and History, a wide-ranging collection of objects dating as far back as the Middle Ages.

Jerime Anderson was wiped out and taking inventory a couple nights ago: His back ached. His knees and ankles were sore. His hamstrings and calves throbbed like they were about to buckle and cramp. Even his shoes hurt.
This is the toll that July — playing in three showcase basketball camps and finishing off a 45-game AAU schedule in front of top college basketball coaches and scouts — takes on an elite player.
It wears him out and leaves him begging for "a weeklong bath in a tub of ice," said Anderson, the Canyon High All-CIF point guard who committed to UCLA in September.
Especially because Anderson did heavy lifting. He needed to raise his profile as one of the nation's top point guards and to swat away any doubts about his Bruin worthiness.
Game No. 45 for Anderson's AAU Pump-N-Run Elite team ended with Tuesday afternoon's silver-division final victory in the Best of the Summer Tournament at Cal State Dominguez Hills. Won and done while performing for the NCAA summer evaluation period, an exhausted Anderson finally felt respected.
"I had a great summer to prove myself," said Anderson, 17, on Tuesday night, resting at home in Anaheim before his Friday flight to the adidas Basketball Experience in New Orleans. "A lot of people were questioning why UCLA would want me and whether I was really that good. Now, I don't think there's any doubt."
Now Bruins coach Ben Howland looks like a genius again. He was the first to jump on Anderson last fall, when only Cal had offered a scholarship and USC, Gonzaga, Illinois and Connecticut had yet to make their pitches to the 6-foot-2, 170-pounder.
During an unofficial visit to Westwood on Sept. 7, Howland met with Anderson and his parents, Mark and Delana, offered the full ride and said, "I'd like you to lead us to our next national championship." Anderson, who considered UCLA his dream school since picking up basketball at the local YMCA at age 4, immediately accepted.
But after news emerged about Anderson's commitment, the recruiting analysts wondered whether Howland had been hoodwinked into locking up an unhyped player so early in the game.
His parents, who helped guide their son toward becoming a top-flight prospect since they convened for a kitchen table meeting when Anderson was 13, had interviewed the parents of NBA star Gilbert Arenas, knew the recruiting pitfalls and steered him toward the best camps and traveling teams. But they weren't prepared for the pundits.
"My parents tried to protect me from everything that people were saying and writing about on the Internet," Anderson recalled. "They (critics) said that I was too inconsistent, that I forced the ball and my shot too much and didn't seem UCLA caliber. That hurt me."
That is why Anderson went into this summer "with a chip on my shoulders," he said, eager to establish himself as a promising heir to run the Bruins offense should Darren Collison depart early for the NBA.
Anderson's Pump-N-Run Elite teammate Jrue Holiday, a top-10 prospect out of North Hollywood's Campbell Hall High, also has committed to UCLA. Their backcourt showcase led Pump-N-Run Elite to win 42 of 45 games and previewed a Bruins future that already has Howland grinning.
"Coach Howland was at all my games and told me I made him proud," Anderson said. "That meant everything to me. He's taking a chance on me, and I don't want to let him down."
Anderson excelled at UCLA's Advanced Skills Development Camp and at the Steve Nash/Nike Point Guard Skills Camp in New Jersey. He went to Colorado Springs, Colo., for USA Basketball and bounced around with his AAU team, stopping everywhere from Ohio to Texas to Arkansas and California to become an undisputed top-10 point guard in the recruiting class of 2008 (No. 3 in Scout.com, No. 8 in Rivals.com).

Tomorrow, a family in Chula Vista will enjoy an American Christmas dinner blended with a small taste of Mexican tradition.
In charge of the kitchen and the turkey will be Lilia Lappinga, the matron of the house. Around the table will be her husband, three children and four grandchildren. What will be especially joyous this year will be the absence of a dreaded burden that has shadowed her every other Christmas.
This is not a traditional Christmas story of the "Deck the Halls" variety, but I like it because it's about friendship, love and sacrifice — what we should want Christmas to be about.
It's a story of a woman giving the gift of herself — right down to the scalpel and the blood of the operating table — so that her friend, Lilia of the paragraph above, could enjoy her family without the weight of a creeping disease on her mind.
There are two women involved here: Lilia and Laura Backe, her benefactor, friend and co-worker. They are social workers for the San Diego Regional Center for the Developmentally Disabled and have been friends for 22 years.
Lilia, now 62, knew from childhood that a genetic condition called PKD (polycystic kidney disease) might be in her future. Sure enough, that future arrived 23 years ago. Since that time, Lilia's health became increasingly precarious. This year, her doctor told her to get ready for dialysis.
Faced with the prospect of unending blood-cleansing treatments, her only other solution was a kidney transplant. She first had to find a willing donor in good health, then the donated kidney had to match, and then her body had to accept the foreign kidney. A lot of things could go wrong or fail to happen.
Enter pal Laura. She stepped up, was tested and declared a match, and then it was nonstop to the operating room. That was in September. Today, each woman is walking around with one healthy kidney: Laura's is her own, and Lilia's is a gift.
"Laura is a lovely woman, a funny, loyal friend and a sincere social worker. I will be forever thankful to her," Lilia says.
Now, it's time to get to know Laura, one of the more compelling people I've met in a long time. If you don't find Laura interesting, you're either too narrow or I can't write to do her justice. If candor means life as an open book, then Laura's is an overhead projector. She not only will tell you how it is, but what it has been and what it should be. She's as upfront as a headlight.
She's the type who will disarm with a quip or a laser observation. And if she's on her game, it'll be dry as week-old bread. I can't imagine anyone more fun to have a beer with, but I get ahead of the story because beer is a big part of it.
Laura, now 44, was raised in Chula Vista, the only daughter of four children, with a mother she was close to and a father with whom she was not. "He was a quiet man, very closed in. I never felt he would open to me. I never felt I had his approval." Her father died when she was 16, which meant the tie could never bind.

American Political Activism At Its Finest!!!
This video represents the future of Obama's Campaign 2012 re-election trail, because it's only just the beginning of things to come.
Watch an angry and extremely disappointed group of Liberal demonstrators publicly list their grievances and demands directly to President Obama, which is all going on right outside an important 'Chicago' fundraiser in front of the University of Illinois.
It's all about a Senator back in 2008 who promised the moon and then for the last 3.2 years has delivered nothing but Epic Failure through perpetual gridlock.
I'm definitely not the only one who sees and admits his presidential defeat and there are more existing mainstream articles that substantiate my opinion and perception!

Rebranding the concept of food play, artists utilize organic materials for effect
PRO Trend Implications - As the market becomes saturated with heavily manufactured artistic endeavours, a growing movement that utilizes simple, familiar mediums is gaining momentum. Using food as a medium, the artwork and marketing campaigns rework the basic into something far more beautiful. Rebranding the childish act of playing with one's food into an art form, the works bridge the mature with the juvenile for enhanced brand perception. [More]
