Time Capsules
On January 13th, 20011, memorabilia hidden inside two Hurley Medical Center time capsules, buried 84 and 104 years ago, were unveiled to the public at a Sloan Museum fundraiser entitled "A Moment in Time." The special evening event was attended by hundreds of Hurley employees, family members, Board Members, physicians, and elected officials, including U.S. Congressman Dale Kildee and Mayor Dayne Walling. Family members of Paul F. Reinhart also attended. All proceeds from "A Moment in Time" benefited the Paul F. Reinhart Emergency Trauma Center.
Sharon Williams, Hurley Medical Center's Medical Library Director, in consultation with Jane McIntosh, Sloan Museum Curator of Collections, oversaw the formal opening of the two sealed boxes. "We are touching the past and the past is touching the future," remarked McIntosh. "It's a way of seeing what people in the past thought was important for us to know of them."
Discovered by construction crews
Discovered by construction crews working on Hurley Medical Center's Emergency Department expansion project, the time capsules from 1907 and 1927 were unearthed near Hurley's original West Tower hospital entrance in July, 2010, encased in cornerstones approximately two feet under the surface. One cornerstone is dated 1907, just before Hurley Hospital first opened its doors to the public in 1908. The other cornerstone is dated 1907-1927, when Hurley was building two additional wings to meet Flint's increased demand for healthcare in the 1920s.
Inside the time capsules were several important paper items including financial documents, the City of Flint's City Charter, newspapers, and the will of James J. Hurley, whose estate in 1905 gave land and $55,000 to establish Hurley Hospital. The items focused on the hospital's early years and subsequent development.
"None of the papers ripped; they aged well," observed Williams. "One cornerstone had been recorded, but finding the other one was a surprise," she said. Williams will be responsible for maintaining and displaying the contents of the time capsules as part of the Medical Library's growing historical collection.
The older time capsule, from 1907, was a copper box approximately 10 inches long and 6 inches wide; the more recent one from 1927 had a wax covering over the box, believed to be copper, and measured 18 inches long and 5 inches wide. Both were originally opened two weeks before the unveiling ceremony to inspect and catalogue the items. The boxes had been welded shut and officials did not know if harmful chemicals such as iron or mercury were inside.
"The practice of encasing time capsules is not as prevalent today because the construction of buildings isn't as socially important," McIntosh said. Nevertheless, Hurley Medical Center created a new time capsule in 2008 to commemorate its 100-year anniversary, placing items such as scalpels and pacemakers inside.

Clements had been chief of Colorado's prison system for a little over two years. He took the job in January 2011 after working for 31 years as part of Missouri's Department of Corrections.
In his time in Colorado, he'd made a big impression.
"He was an amazing man, an amazing man," Alison Morgan, spokeswoman for Colorado's Department of Corrections, said Thursday. "An inspirational leader."
He was killed around 8:45 p.m. MT (10:45 p.m. ET) Tuesday, as he answered the door of his Monument, Colorado, home.
Since then, investigators had said they knew very little about who might have pulled the trigger.
Some witnesses, though, said they saw a man driving a vehicle -- possibly a Lincoln Continental or a two-door Cadillac -- away from the neighborhood a short time after the shooting. Others reported seeing a black, boxy vehicle with its engine running but no one inside on Clements' street.
Asked Thursday whether the prison chief's killing may have been a professional hit, Presley from the El Paso County, Colorado, Sheriff's Office said, "We don't have any specific information that would lead us to that."
The central Colorado county sheriff office's major crimes unit has received more than 100 solid tips about the incident, including a growing number of witnesses describing a black car then in the area.
Meanwhile, the mourning continues for Clements. His funeral will be held Sunday, Gov. John Hickenlooper's office said, and he'll be remembered at a public memorial service in Colorado Springs the next day.


text: Home Politics How Racism Tainted Women's Fight to Vote An 1894 showdown between anti-lynching crusader Ida B. Wells and temperance leader Frances E. Willard revealed the grip that racial resentment had over the American suffrage movement. By: Monée Fields-White Posted: March 25 2011 12:21 AM 0 Ida B. Wells and Frances E. Willard (Courtesy of the National Women's History Museum) "I am in Great Britain today because I believe that the silent indifference with which she has received the charge that human beings are burned alive in Christian Anglo-Saxon communities is born of ignorance of the true situation. America cannot and will not ignore the voice of a nation that is her superior in civilization." In 1893, journalist and early civil rights pioneer Ida B. Wells crossed the Atlantic for the first time to deliver that sobering message to Great Britain. She had hoped to sway public opinion about the racial violence that plagued the U.S. The lynching of black men and women seemed to have become a sport among Southern white mobs -- reaching a peak of 161 deaths in 1892. That included the hanging of three black businessmen, one a close friend of Wells, during that year in her former home of Memphis, Tenn. She called for blacks to leave the city "which will neither protect our lives and property." More than 6,000 black residents left, and many others boycotted white businesses; Wells was exiled. But the Memphis murders sparked the beginning of Wells' anti-lynching crusade. Combing through statistics and interviewing eyewitnesses, she conducted the first in-depth investigation into the real reasons behind the lynching of these black men -- and many others who were mostly accused of allegedly raping a white woman. She wrote about her tragic findings in a column for the New York Age newspaper and forged the modern-day civil rights movement. "Wells was one of those driven people, who never looked to the left or to the right. If something needed to be said or done, she just goes and does it," said Paula Giddings, the Elizabeth A. Woodson 1922 Professor in Afro-American Studies at Smith College, in an interview with The Root. "She doesn't worry about the consequences." Civil Rights, Temperance and Suffrage: An Uneasy Mix As the nation approached the 20th century, Wells saw that the spate of racial injustice needed to be addressed in a new and direct manner -- through outright protest and self-defense. That challenged the nation's moralistic Victorian attitudes at the time. Such a grounded stance also pitted her against one of the most formidable American leaders within the movement to gain women the vote, or suffrage: Frances E. Willard, national president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Throughout much of the 1800s, the women's alcohol temperance movement was a powerful force in the greater push toward women's suffrage. Meanwhile, many suffrage leaders -- such as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton -- had also championed black equality. Yet in 1870, the suffragists found themselves on opposing ends of the equal-rights battle when Congress passed the 15th Amendment, enabling black men to vote (at least, in theory) -- and not women. That measure engendered resentment among some white suffragists, especially in the South. She was even willing to court white Southern women, at the expense of blacks, even though her parents had been abolitionists. " 'Better whiskey and more of it' is the rallying cry of great, dark-faced mobs," Willard said in an 1890 interview with the New York Voice. "The safety of [white] women, of childhood, of the home, is menaced in a thousand localities." That statement and others incensed Wells. She was angered even more by the fact that Willard was considered to be a friend within the black community, in part because some of the WCTU chapters had accepted black women as members. But the WCTU president "unhesitatingly slandered the entire Negro race in order to gain favor with those who are hanging, shooting and burning Negroes alive," Wells said in her autobiography, Crusade for Justice.

We're getting deep into July, and with still more quick Summer getaways on the docket, we're prepping with a refresher in minimalist packing. Because as much as we love feeling ready for any dress code, it's not exactly fun lugging around an overpacked bag, either. Cutting down on what makes it inside your weekender bag has everything to do with staying calm, cool, and collected. Ask yourself: What's the weather going to be like? Are there any formal evening events involved? Is there room to recycle outfit pieces? Those answers should help shape the contents of your packing strategy, along with employing a level of self-restraint, of course. Read on for our quick tips for packing (light) like a pro. Have one to share? Do so below!
- Don't underestimate the power of making a list. Write down the bare essentials of what you'll need for your trip, wherever the final destination may be. Key word here is basic: bras, underwear, socks, a pair of jeans, a warmer layer for the evenings, a chic go-with-everything dress, and so on. Then, follow your list without exception — it'll help you to not go overboard when you start digging into your wardrobe.
- Do be reasonable. Override that voice in your head trying to convince you that you absolutely need six tops for a three-day trip. You don't . . . and the practical you knows that.
- Don't skimp too much. If you know that you're going to a wedding with formal dinners planned every night, then yes pack a few extra dresses. The trade-off? Include a neutral-toned pair of ankle-strap sandals that go with each outfit, so you don't have to overload on the shoe front.

The phrase -- "Hail to the Chief" -- originated in Scotland in 1810 as part of a poem by Sir Walter Scott. The poem, "The Lady of the Lake," had nothing to do with the United States, or with the presidency.
But the story told in the poem's plot became a British stage play that made it across the ocean within a few years. Among the songs that came to the United States as part of the play was "Hail to the Chief," written by James Sanderson.
It was given new lyrics to honor the presidency, and reportedly was used in that context for the first time at an 1815 ceremony to commemorate the birthday of George Washington. It was played at the inaugurations of Presidents Martin Van Buren in 1837 and John Tyler in 1841, according to historians, and during the administration of President James Polk from 1845 to 1849 it became routinely played any time the president entered a room during public occasions.
Not everyone was in love with the song. President Chester A. Arthur, who served from 1881 to 1885, directed the leader of the Marine Band to compose a new one to replace it.
Fortunately for Arthur, the leader of the Marine Band at the time was a pretty fair songwriter -- a young Marine sergeant major by the name of John Philip Sousa. He came up with a new tune called "Presidential Polonaise."
Unfortunately for "Presidential Polonaise," it never caught on, and "Hail to the Chief" made a return. Sousa was undeterred; he would go on to write, among other patriotic classics, "The Stars and Stripes Forever."
President Jimmy Carter, in seeking to make the trappings of his presidency a little less regal, asked that "Hail to the Chief" not be played when he made public entrances. This turned out to be a highly unpopular decision. Carter would later tell CBS News: "One of the most unpleasant things that surprised me was when I quit having 'Hail to the Chief' every time I entered a room, but there was an outcry of condemnation." Before long, "Hail to the Chief" was back.
The Marine Band continues to play it as presidents make their entrances. The words, however, continue to mostly go unsung, and that will almost certainly be the case during the inaugural festivities these next few days.
In the spirit of the history of this -- and as a nod to what might have been -- we leave you with a parting gift of music.
On behalf of Chester A. Arthur, please click and enjoy the song you never got the chance to tap your feet to. Ladies and gentlemen, the Mount Prospect, Illinois, Community Band performs, for your listening pleasure, "Presidential Polonaise."

Cellar/Tasting Notes "A distinctly toasty nose exhibits a touch of mint on the very ripe black fruit liqueur scented aromas. There is excellent volume to the very rich and full-bodied flavors that brim with an abundance of dry extract that pushes the otherwise very firm tannins to the background..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Pinot Noir is a juicy, silky wine laced with expressive dark red fruit, flowers and spices. Higher-toned hints of mint and rose petals add lift and freshness throughout. This is an especially gracious, refined Pinot from L'Angevin and proprietors Alan Peirson and Robbie Meyer. I love..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Bright saline notes frame expressive fruit in the 2010 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast. A beautifully layered wine, the 2010 impresses for its length, finesse and balance.

The new Yokogawa SL1000 is the only data acquisition system that delivers independent, isolated channel hardware at 100MS/ch rates, with no compromise in bit resolution, memory depth, or streaming performance.
page links
section links
Selecting a data acquisition platform for electronics or mechatronics applications has always been a balancing act. High speed digitizers lack the isolation, attenuation, or bit resolution necessary for power electronics testing. PC-based platforms with fast streaming throughput sacrifice noise immunity, signal conditioning, and hardware integrity.
Until now. The new Yokogawa SL1000 is the only data acquisition system that delivers independent, isolated channel hardware at 100MS/ch rates, with no compromise in bit resolution, memory depth, or streaming performance.
Speed of managing and acquiring data is the highlight of the SL1000.
- Fast Acquisition
- Up to 100 MS/s on all channels (10 ns sampling interval)
- New 100 MS/s 12-Bit 1 kV¹ isolation module with 20 MHz bandwidth
- Supports parallel testing: Perform measurements with up to four simultaneously independent sample rates
- Fast Transfer and Storage
- Stream data to PC via high speed USB 2.0 or 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet²
- Real time display on a PC (GIGAZoom engine)³
- Stream data to a PC hard disk or the SL1000's internal hard disk² in real time (at speeds of 1.6 MS/s = 100 kS/s x 16ch)³
- Easy to use
- Easy to use Standard Acquisition Software
- Quick and Intuitive operation means that you can start measuring immediately
- Setup Wizard guides you through detailed settings
- Can operate "Standalone"
- Store data directly on the SL1000

²: Optional
³: Speed depends on PC performance and measuring conditions.
High-Speed Capture
In the pursuit of isolated high-speed waveform measurements, Yokogawa has achieved a maximum sample rate of 100 MS/s (10 ns sampling interval). The SL1000 can accurately capture high-speed and high-voltage phenomena by using the newly developed 100 MS/s, 12-Bit resolution, 20 MHz frequency range and 1-kV * Isolation Module (model 720210).
Furthermore, you can combine modules that support measurements of a variety of signals, giving you solutions for an extensive range of applications.
*: In combination with 10:1 probe (for isolated BNC input ) model 700929
Saving Data over Long Periods of Time
Data can be saved to the SL1000's internal acquisition memory over long durations, or it can also be streamed in real-time to a PC's hard disk or the SL1000's internal hard disk ¹ ².
¹: with the /HD1 Option
²: Maximum speed of real time hard disk recording depends on measuring conditions.
³: Trigger mode: Single, measuring on 1 module, 2 channels.
Supports parallel testing
Perform measurements with up to four simultaneously independent sample rates. The amount of data saved on hard disk can be reduced by optimizing the sample rate for the DUT on a module by module basis.
High-Speed Data Transfer & GIGAZoom Function
You can transfer data to the PC at high speeds via USB 2.0 or Ethernet 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet¹. The SL1000's high-speed data compression engine (GIGAZoom engine) displays waveforms on the PC in real time² (even with massive amounts of data at high sample rates). It offers the same display updating and zooming performance as standalone measuring instruments.
¹: with the /C10 Option
²: The number of channels from which waveforms can be displayed during measurement may be limited depending on the PC performance and measuring conditions.
Real Time Saving to Hard Disk
Continuously measured data can be saved in real time to a PC's hard disk and/or the SL1000's internal hard disk ¹. File names are assigned automatically, freeing you from time consuming file operations. Data can be saved simultaneously - and in real time - to both the PC's and SL1000's hard disks ¹. This bolsters the reliability of your data storage system, protecting your vital data. You can access the SL1000's internal hard disk ¹ with Xviewer waveform viewer software, or through an FTP client over Ethernet ².

Previous posts would perhaps lend notion and weight to the idea that I am, probably, quite likely, the sort of chap that is always late. You may then be surprised to learn that I am, in truth, by and large, when all is said and done, nearly always on time. Or there abouts. Rarely early I concede, but prompt.
I try my best.
I think some things are best served late though: tea for example. Afternoon tea specifically. That's nice late - a late afternoon tea. 'Bout 5:30p.m. Cup of Earl Grey maybe. Beaker of squash more likely… With a pink wafer. Additive smash.
I also like my music served late… CAN YOU SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING YET?... not too late, but later. Later than late afternoon tea, like, at around say, ten. Like at around the same time they screen Later with Jools Holland. Like about the time Mumford & Sons played Later with Jools Holland. Sort of like THIS!
Amazing scenes! Literally, amazing scenes!
Whoomp! There It Is, A little Later, Say 'Whoomp', There It Is!

fantastic, just watched it, its only got 2 hours to go then its being taken off, so lucky me for catching it on time :) I just do not get fed up of you guys at all, could have watched and listened to the whole album and all your new stuff too, that's a good idea film your gigs and sell it, I would buy it, p.s still loving my Mumford and Sons tour t shirt that I got in Edinburgh xxxx
On Fri, May 14, 2010 - 11:55:10 by pamela1977
Lovely performance!!!! And I think Marcus did very well even with a really bad throat!!!
I think the goat on the keyboard was a nice touch aswell, a wacky and cool unique style such as Mumford & sons! xxx

Same here, but I saw one clip already on youtube :) I should have known from the title where the announcement was going, but the personal bits at the beginning always distract me – love it! Then again, maybe I'm just confused in general … I drink my Earl Grey in the morning and put lemon inside instead of milk :)
On Thu, May 06, 2010 - 11:26:26 by Beka
not available in my area. Curiosity is eating me alive, I'll wait for youtube :)
On Thu, May 06, 2010 - 8:27:21 by letizzzia
hm, I would say: a bit too late, as many already saw it yesterday live. :)
None of the clips can be watched by the fans NOT living in the UK, so for these poor unfortunate souls: Friday night, 12h30 European time, BBC 2. Hope you at least can watch that… and otherwise: I'm sure someone will put it on youtube! :)

Watch The Vampire Diaries
The Vampire Diaries follows the life of a young seventeen-year-old girl, Elena Gilbert, as she falls in love with an older vampire named Stefan Salvatore. Perhaps one of the most common issues that arise between the couple is Elena's growing attraction to Stefan's older brother, Damon Salvatore. The first series of the show focuses on the growing relationship between Stefan and Elena, and the complication Damon presents. As the series progresses, it is revealed that the brothers' attraction to Elena is based in part to the resemblance to their mutual past love, Katherine Pierce, the vampire who turned the brothers into the vampires they are. Elena's resemblance isn't just a slight resemblance either, but identical. This turns out to be due to the fact that Elena is the doppelganger of Katherine and is part of a mystical vampire curse.
Throughout the series the viewer watches as Elena deals with the issues that supernatural creatures cause in her life and the danger that can result from being in a relationship with one. In addition to Elena, the series focuses on her group of friends and families as they come to know the hidden secrets of the town and the existence of supernatural creatures. Most notably, the series focuses on the lives of Elena's younger brother, Jeremy Gilbert, her best friends, Bonnie Bennett and Caroline Forbes, and other friends, Matt Donovan and Tyler Lockwood.
The story is set in a small fictional town in Virginia called Mystic Falls. Throughout the course of the series the viewer learns that Mystic Falls has long been home to various supernatural creatures since it was founded in the late 17th century. These supernatural creatures are not limited to just vampires. The series includes witches, werewolves, ghosts and special hybrid creatures. The city of Mystic Falls has a long founded system of politics that centers among the founders of the town. This Founder's Council includes the Gilbert family, the Salvatore family, the Forbes family, the Lockwood family, and the Fells family. The heads of these families are all aware of the town's supernatural inhabitants and often do what they can to protect their small town from the threats these supernatural beings represent.
As the series progresses, the focus shifts from Elena learning about supernatural creatures and events and begins to focus on the role Elena plays as a doppelganger in a mythic quest that can break the restrictions that vampires face. Additional story lines develop that introduce the most powerful vampires ever created, called the Original Family. This Original Family is made up of the first humans ever to be turned into vampires and is the source of all vampires that exist in the show's world.
Starring in the series are Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder as the main love triangle. The supporting cast features Katerina Graham, Candice Accola, Michael Trevino, Zach Roerig, and Steven R. McQueen. Later in the series Joseph Morgan, Matt Davis, and Claire Holt all became prominent characters on the series. The show itself is mainly filmed in Georgia with the town of Covington, Georgia, serving as Mystic Falls. However, the pilot episode was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Vampire Diaries first aired on The CW and remains one of its most popular and watched shows.

The Vampire Diaries News
The distance between New Orleans and Mystic Falls is pretty great, but at least one character is going to make the trip later this month, as a crossover between "The Vampire Diaries" and its spin-off, "The Originals," begins.
Fans of "The Vampire Diaries" had much to be happy about last week, as the series returned for its fifth season had a new sibling series, "The Originals," in tow, as well. Between the two shows, the CW had a decent Thursday night against extremely tough competition.
Season 4 of the "The Vampire Diaries" ended with some events that promised to cause turmoil in Mystic Falls at the beginning of season 5. A new promo clip released last week makes it clear that the turmoil might be even more explosive than we imagined.
At the conclusion of season 4 of "The Vampire Diaries," things looked bleak for Stefan. As hints about the direction of season 5 begin to emerge, it looks as if Stefan's troubles have only just begun. Elena and Damon, however, may have some good times ahead.
What's new tonight? "The Vampire Diaries", "Project Runway", "American Idol", and more! Which of these shows are you most looking forward to watching?
Fans of the three shows can relax... The CW has already picked up the next season order for "Vampire Diaries," "Arrow," and "Supernatural," ahead of schedule. What show may not make it?

"Brad's strong track record of growing businesses while making them more effective and efficient, coupled with his passion for serving colleges and their students make him a terrific fit for these roles," said Craig V. Carroll, Rezolve's Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "Brad's record of innovation and customer focus, especially in education and career development, brings Rezolve subsidiaries a tremendous advantage as they continue to create advanced, student-centric services and technologies."
Baker will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of Rezolve Group, which employs more than 300 people, as well as leading its two primary subsidiaries; Student Financial Aid Services, Inc., the nation's oldest and largest student aid advisory and preparation service, and Student Aid Services, Inc., the leading provider of custom net price calculators and enrollment enhancement services serving nearly 700 campuses.
"The Rezolve team and their sophisticated technology offer a unique opportunity to help colleges communicate value and affordability, while helping students identify schools most affordable for them and understand how to best pay for their education," Baker said.
Track Record to Leading Growth and Innovation
As COO for NRCCUA, Baker drove revenue increases by developing new technologies and services and by expanding outreach programs, such as My College Options®, to become one of the nation's largest college-planning programs for students, families and educators.
Prior to NRCCUA, Baker served in top executive roles for the employment and career-and-college-planning online service Monster Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: MWW). While at Monster, Baker held several top positions including President of Monster Technology, Product and Service where he was responsible for product management, technology development and operations, and for directing the overall design, development, implementation and service of Monster's wide breadth of products and services across the globe. Prior to that role, he was Monster's Chief Product and Marketing Officer and helped drive Monster to be among the most widely recognized and respected brands on the planet. Prior to that Baker was a Senior Vice President responsible for their campus and consumer businesses including Making It Count!, FastWeb, MonsterTrak and Military.com.
As an entrepreneur, Baker co-founded the advisory organization, Making It Count!, which was acquired by Monster in June 2001. By making thousands of presentations in schools each year, the program educates high school students and their families about how to maximize their high school and college experiences. Since its inception, Making It Count! has reached more than 25 million students in thousands of high schools and colleges across the country.
Early in his career, Baker served in marketing and general management positions with Procter & Gamble, Kraft Foods, and SFI. A Wisconsin native, Baker earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Harvard University.

Current Record: lookupThe Lookup Widget[Permalink]Return to widget:type page to see list of all widget types. Back to fields.ini file to see other fields.ini directives. SynopsisThe lookup widget allows users to look a record from another table to insert into the field. It is like a select widget except that it doesn't use a vocabulary. Instead you just specify a table on which it should search using the widget:table directive. In order to use the lookup widget to edit a field, you should set the widget:type directive of the fields.ini file for the field to lookup''. I.e.
Note that the lookup widget requires the widget:table? directive to be set to the target table of the lookup or it will not work properly.''' Required DirectivesThe following fields.ini file directives are required to accompany the field definition if a lookup widget is used:
Optional DirectivesThe following additional optional directives may be used to customize the behaviour of the lookup widget:
See URL Conventions for an overview of the types of GET parameters Xataface can take. Any GET parameters that manipulate a query can be used with the widget:filters:* directive to modify the query results that are shown in the lookup widget. ExampleIn this example we have a field named appointee that is supposed to reference the contacts table. So in the fields.ini file we would have: [appointee] widget:type=lookup widget:table=contacts Initially we just have a little find icon next to the field. If the user clicks it, a dialog pops up enabling them to search for the contact that they want: Additional TipsAlthough the lookup widget does not use a vocabulary as indicated in the Synopsis above, it is still useful to define a vocabulary in the fields.ini file for this field. The reason is because the lookup widget is only used with the edit action, where you are inserting or editing data into the field. However, it is not used to the display the data in the view or list actions. Therefore, you must still have a vocabulary defined to properly display these values. In order to customize the display of the lookup widget's select list, you must edit the delegate class for the table which is referenced by the widget:table directive. There are two important points to note:

SOURCE Sweet'N Low
NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sweet'N Low, America's iconic zero-calorie sweetener has partnered with Emmy Award winning physician, Dr. Luis Pacheco, to help raise awareness of the growing obesity and diabetes epidemic in the United States. Obesity and diabetes affect the entire United States, with 1 in 3 adults being obese, and more than 26 million American children and adults suffering from diabetes.
Together, Sweet'N Low and Dr. Pacheco will produce two informative videos, one in English and one in Spanish, with the goal of teaching audiences about healthy alternatives to a sugary diet. Dr. Pacheco will be working as a spokesperson on behalf of Sweet'N Low for six months and will participate in a radio media tour in November during Diabetes Awareness Month.
"Sweet'N Low has been a trusted zero calorie alternative to sugar for more than 56 years. By using it as a replacement for sugar, it allows consumers to cut calories and manage their sugar intake while still enjoying their favorite sweet foods and beverages. I'm delighted to partner with a brand that offers products with the ability to help Americans make better dietary choices which affect their overall health," said Dr. Pacheco.
Based in Los Angeles, Dr. Pacheco is Board Certified in Family Medicine and focuses on the obesity and diabetes epidemic. In addition to his medical practice, this Emmy Award winning family physician was the medical expert for Univision's flagship station KMEX TV Los Angeles-Channel 34, where he had a daily health segment called "Ask the Doctor." Dr. Pacheco has also served on the faculty at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California (USC) and was the Director of Pre-Doctoral Education for the Department of Family Medicine. He is currently the Medical Director for the Transitional Care Unit (TCU) at California Hospital Medical Center.
According to the American Diabetes Association, there are 1.9 million new cases of diabetes diagnosed each year. Through their efforts, Sweet'N Low and Dr. Pacheco will increase awareness on this epidemic and make recommendations on lifestyle and dietary changes geared at prevention.
"We are thrilled to partner with Dr. Pacheco as his goals align so well with those of Sweet'N Low," said Steven Eisenstadt, President and CEO of Cumberland Packing Corp., the manufacturer of Sweet'N Low. "Dr. Pacheco's expertise, commitment, and extensive work in the diabetes and obesity arena make him the perfect fit for our campaign."
The partnership between Sweet'N Low and Dr. Pacheco will run from August 1, 2013, through January 31, 2014.

Interview – Vanquish's Atsushi Inaba
Platinum Games doesn't make normal things. It just doesn't. Hair-clad butterfly witches, a game show about wanton murder, and all kinds of other kooky ideas are just another day at the office for Platinum's intrepid crew of oddballs.
And in a world full of gray, stoic, gray shooters, the kind of zaniness that Platinum peddles is a welcome injection of color. Tired of trudging from cover-to-cover, taking a couple potshots, and then repeating the process until the act of blasting a person in the face automatically triggers your yawn reflex? Then Vanquish is for you. We're talking about a game where your primary means of transportation is a rocket-powered knee-slide here. Also, you're fighting space Russians. Platinum Games doesn't make normal things. And thank God for that.
After resisting the urge to tackle producer Atsushi Inaba and wrestle the controller from his hands, we got the chance to ask him a few post-demo session questions at E3.

By Michael Futch Staff writer
Construction has started on an Affordable Suites of America extended stay hotel on the largely undeveloped Lake Valley Drive.
The 50-room, two-story hotel will be about 26,000 square feet on 1.8 acres not far from Embassy Suites. When completed, the hotel would become the second project on the four-lane road that opened in 2005 to connect Yadkin and Skibo roads.
Tony Free, part of the ownership group Suite Development of FNC LLC, said construction should be completed in August.
"We'll be pouring the concrete slab next week," he said Thursday.
Free also owns the New Bern-based United Suites Construction LLC, which is building the hotel.
After submitting building plans last summer, the Suite Development owners expected construction to begin by last August.
"We were waiting on the plan approval," Free said.
City inspectors issued the building permit Feb. 26.
Arthur Jordan of Summerfield is another partner in the eight-person ownership group. Free declined to name the other six.
Free and Jordan will be managing members of the limited liability company, he said, meaning they'll be more involved in day-to-day activities of the operation.
Three years ago, the ownership group tried to build a 50-room Affordable Suites on Cliffdale Road. That proposal died when the City Council deadlocked twice on a request to rezone 2 acres on Cliffdale near Skibo Road. Residents had fought the project over concerns of congestion and property values.
The Affordable Suites of America being built on Lake Valley Drive is a newer prototype under development, according to Free. The first was constructed a year ago in Augusta, Ga.
The newer design features rooms that open onto an interior courtyard and gas grills in a picnic area in a park-like setting. Each unit is a one-bedroom suite with a full kitchen.
"It's got all the amenities you expect from an apartment," Free said. "It's more of a residential lifestyle than hotel. It is an extended stay. It fills the gap between an extended stay and apartments."
The hotel is going up on the same side of Lake Valley Drive as Embassy Suites. The site is a few blocks from Cross Creek Mall near the All American Expressway, which provides fast access to Fort Bragg.
"I think it's going to do very good in that location," Free said. "We've had other government markets. Right now, everybody is chasing government dollars. Assuming there's not a lot of hotel development in the next few years, all the hotels (in Fayetteville) will do well. We've got a very specific clientele. We will do very well here. We're certain of that."
