Kent State's Said Sewell Selected for Millennium Leadership Initiative Institute
Kent State University's Assistant Provost for Academic Affairs Said Sewell, Ph.D., has been selected as a protégé for the Class of 2014 Millennium Leadership Initiative Institute that is co-sponsored by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities. Sewell was nominated to attend the institute by Christopher Brown, Ph.D., past president of Alcorn State University in Lorman, Miss.; Walter Kimbrough, Ph.D., president of Dillard University in New Orleans; Belle Wheelan, president of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools; and F. Carl Walton, vice president of student services at Lincoln University in Chester County, Pa. Sewell will attend the institute from June 7-10 in Washington, D.C.
The American Association of State Colleges and Universities' Millennium Leadership Initiative is a premier leadership development program that provides individuals traditionally underrepresented in the highest ranks of higher education the opportunity to develop skills, gain a philosophical overview and build the network needed to advance to the presidency.
The Millennium Leadership Initiative prepares, enhances and advances the prospect of protégés to compete successfully for executive positions in higher education, such as president or chancellor at public or private universities or colleges. Protégés learn from an esteemed team that includes college presidents and chancellors, and other experts in media relations, advancement, financial management and more.
"I am humbled to have been nominated for the Millennium Leadership Institute," Sewell said. "I look forward to learning from and engaging with fellow protégés and senior leaders from various institutions across the country. This professional development opportunity is a way of expanding my understanding of issues in higher education. I fully intend to use that which I will learn to enhance the projects that I am involved with at Kent State."
Sewell, a native of Houston, Texas, joined Kent State in 2012 as dean of undergraduate studies and was appointed assistant provost for academic affairs that same year. He previously served as executive director of the Academic Success Center and associate professor of political science at Fort Valley State University in Fort Valley, Ga. Prior to that, Sewell was an associate professor of political science and planning at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, Ga.
He entered Morehouse College at the age of 16 in 1988, excelled academically and graduated with a bachelor's degree in political science. He received his Master of Public Administration in public policy from Texas Southern University at the age of 21, becoming the youngest person in the program's history to complete all the requirements for the degree in a year and a half. He continued his academic pursuits in Georgia by earning a Ph.D. in political science from Clark Atlanta University in 2001. Sewell also has done post-graduate work at the Harvard School of Divinity.
Sewell is the author of several articles on faith-based initiatives, community and economic development, religion and politics, and juvenile issues. He also is completing work on two forthcoming books titled "Empowering Black Males Students to Greatness" and "Let Us Make Man: A Conversation with Black Men on Saving Black Boys." He also is co-author of "Georgia State Politics" and the editor of two American government readers: "Conflicting Democracy: A Critical Analysis of America's Political Process" and "We the People: Reflections on American Politics." He is recipient of several awards that recognize his work as a scholar and exceptional professor.
Sewell, who has been mentioned as one of America's rising young leaders for the 21st century, is active in several professional, civic and social organizations. He is a life member and the former national chairman of Leadership Development Institute for his fraternity, the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and a member of the 100 Black Men of America.

This piece comes from Family Security Matters. I really can't add anything to this somber article.
The Wasteland: Israel and Iran after Nuclear War
Credo quia absurdum. "I believe because it is absurd." Now, years after the international community first blathered vainly about Iranian intentions, Tehran marches unhindered to full and final nuclear weapons status.
Perhaps there will not be a nuclear war between Israel and Iran. Maybe, fortuitously, some system of stable mutual deterrence will evolve in time. Maybe, a kind of protracted "Cold War" will emerge to keep the peace.
Still, there is no reliable way to ascertain the probability of unique events, and an Iranian leadership that slouches enthusiastically toward apocalypse is not out of the question.
What would happen if Tehran were to launch a nuclear Jihad against Israel, whether as an atomic "bolt from the blue," or as a result of escalation – either deliberate or inadvertent?
Thirty years ago, I published the first of 10 books that contained authoritative descriptions of the physical and medical consequences of nuclear war, any nuclear war. These descriptions were drawn largely from a 1975 report by the National Academy of Sciences, and included the following still valid outcomes: large temperature changes; contamination of food and water; disease epidemics in crops, domesticated animals, and humans due to ionizing radiation; shortening of growing seasons; irreversible injuries to aquatic species; widespread and long-term cancers due to inhalation of plutonium particles; radiation-induced abnormalities in persons in utero at the time of detonations; a vast growth in the number of skin cancers, and increasing genetic disease.
Overwhelming health problems would afflict the survivors of any Iranian nuclear attack upon Israel. These difficulties would extend beyond prompt burn injuries. Retinal burns would even occur in the eyes of persons very far from the actual explosions.
Tens of thousands of Israelis would be crushed by collapsing buildings and torn to shreds by flying glass. Others would fall victim to raging firestorms. Fallout injuries would include whole-body radiation injury, produced by penetrating, hard gamma radiations; superficial radiation burns produced by soft radiations; and injuries produced by deposits of radioactive substances within the body.
After an Iranian nuclear attack, even a "small" one, those few medical facilities that might still exist in Israel would be taxed beyond capacity. Water supplies would become unusable. Housing and shelter could be unavailable for hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions, of survivors. Transportation would break down to rudimentary levels. Food shortages would be critical and long-term.
Israel's normally complex network of exchange systems would be shattered. Virtually everyone would be deprived of the most basic means of livelihood. Emergency police and fire services would be decimated. All systems dependent upon electrical power could stop functioning. Severe trauma would occasion widespread disorientation and psychiatric disorders for which there would be no therapeutic services.
Normal human society would cease. The pestilence of unrestrained murder and banditry could soon augment plague and epidemics. Many of the survivors would expect an increase in serious degenerative diseases. They would also expect premature death; impaired vision, and sterility. An increased incidence of leukemia and cancers of the lung, stomach, breast, ovary and uterine cervix would be unavoidable.
Extensive fallout would upset many delicately balanced relationships in nature. Israelis who survive the nuclear attack would still have to deal with enlarged insect populations. Like the locusts of biblical times, mushrooming insect hordes would spread from the radiation-damaged areas in which they arose.
Insects are generally more resistant to radiation than humans. This fact, coupled with the prevalence of unburied corpses, uncontrolled waste and untreated sewage, would generate tens of trillions of flies and mosquitoes. Breeding in the dead bodies, these insects would make it impossible to control typhus, malaria, dengue fever and encephalitis. Throughout Israel, tens or even hundreds of thousands of rotting human corpses would pose the largest health threat.
All of these same effects, possibly more expansive and destructive, would, reciprocally, be visited upon Iran by Israel. Immediate massive retaliation for Iranian aggression would be inevitable. In Iran, therefore, survivors would envy the dead. Here, the expected joys of "martyrdom" would fade quickly before death's other kingdom.
Waste and void. Darkness visible. No lilacs to breed out of the dead land, the cactus land. Before anything could be born in such an Iranian-created necropolis, a gravedigger would need to wield the forceps.

First off, does anyone want a cat? His name is Crum and he is the best cat in the world. He belongs to my neighbor, Kim. But she can't keep him. He's been staying at my apartment for the last couple days. But at some point I'm gonna need to leave for an extended period, and then do that over and over and over again. So this isn't gonna last for long.
This cat is so sweet it's unreal. This is a photo of him keeping me company this morning while I wrote what you're reading now.
Oh. And someone find me a teaching gig in Southern California. Thanks.
Oh! And doesn't anyone out there want me to come speak anywhere? It's weird. I was getting so many offers I couldn't handle them last year and now here in 2012 -- nothing! Did I do something that offended everyone?
Now onto the main topic.
The nice folks over at Counterpoint Books sent me a review copy of Red Pine's The Lankavatara Sutra: Translation and Commentary. Thank you, Counterpoint Books!
I gotta say that I was kind of intimidated at first. I don't do sutras very well. I managed to dig through Dogen's Shobogenzo and even write a book about it. But that doesn't mean I'm one of those guys who sits around reading ancient Buddhist texts for fun. Generally speaking ancient Buddhist writings baffle me about as much as they baffle everybody else.
Take the Lotus Sutra -- please! I mean, I know I'm supposed to love the thing. I know that Dogen loved it. People I know have read it and said it's the greatest thing since sliced cheese. But I have never been able to get through the confounded thing. I can't get past the part where the author is telling you the names of all the Bodhisattvas and their uncles and how many Buddha realms they've conquered and where they shop for shoes and why you should definitely copy the sutra a thousand times and how many dragon kings were sitting around while Buddha impressed everyone by shooting rays out of his forehead... and so on and on and on and on.
You think I'm making this up? Have a look for yourself.
So when I saw this book in my mailbox, I thought, "Good gosh, now I gotta read the thing!"
It turns out that the Lankavatara Sutra is much easier going than the Lotus Sutra. At least for me. It doesn't take nearly as long to get to the point. And its philosophical doctrines aren't expressed in extended metaphors or stories. In many ways it's a much more modern sounding piece. The author of the sutra frames it as a long Q&A session between a guy named Mahamati and Buddha. Of course, Buddha was long since dead by the time this sutra was composed. But the literary device works to express a lot of the then-developing theories in Buddhism that would later become the basis for much of what is taught in Zen Buddhist temples even today.
What really makes this book work for me is Red Pine's (aka Bill Porter) introduction. It's a very honest essay. The author even says that it was his need for the advance money from his publishers that really tipped the scales and finally got him working on the translation in earnest. Apparently he'd had it on the back burner for years. But when he ran out of other sutras to translate, he reluctantly went back to the Lankavatara.
I'm happy he did because it's a very good book. It's not an easy book to read. Nor would I recommend it to someone just starting out with Buddhist philosophy. Stick to Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind or even Hardcore Zen if you want that. Or you can try one of the books on my Zen Books That Don't Suck page.
But if you've already got a foundation of basic Buddhist philosophy and you want to know where some of the peculiarly Zen stuff comes from, this is a pretty interesting and valuable book. It's a fine resource for some of the earliest manifestations of what coalesced into the Zen approach to Buddhist teaching and practice.
For example, you know how I'm always ranting against people who try to sell the idea of instant enlightenment? Remember how I compared thinking you could get enlightened right away to thinking you could learn to play Eruption by Eddie Van Halen after a single guitar lesson? Some of you assumed I just pulled that out of my ass. Well, in fact, I did. But in the Lankavatara Sutra, Mahamati asks, "How is the stream of perceptions of beings' minds purified?" Buddha answers, "By degrees and not all at once... like when people become proficient in such arts as music or writing or painting." So there!
On the matter of God, Mahamati asks, "In the sutras the Bhagavan (aka Buddha) says that the tathagatha-garbgha (womb of the Buddhas) is intrinsically pure, endowed with thirty-two attributes and present in the bodies of all beings, and that, like a precious jewel wrapped in soiled clothing, the ever-present unchanging tathagatha-garbha is likewise wrapped in the soiled clothing of the skandhas, dhatus and ayantas and stained with the stains of erroneous projections of greed, anger and delusion. How is it that what the Bhagavan says about the tathagatha-garbha is the same as what followers of other paths say about a self? Bhagavan, followers of other paths also speak of an immortal creator without attributes, omnipresent and indestructible. And they say this is the self."
Buddha says, among other things that, "The tathagatha-garbha is taught to attract those members of other paths who are attached to a self so that they will give up their projection of an unreal self and will enter the threefold gate of liberation." This doesn't mean there is no tathagatha-garbha. Just that Buddha considers it a better way to describe reality than to describe it as self.
Like I said, I'm working on a whole book to explain why I think it makes sense to use the word "God" in the context of contemporary Buddhism. And it's not just to play nice with religious folks. But I'm not gonna try and get into that here. It's just nice to see that this question goes back a very long way.
In any case, the foregoing quotes ought to give you an idea what to expect from a book like this. If you don't know what a skandha or a dhatu is you're going to have a tough time. Red Pine assumes his readers know at least the basic terms. However, he provides copious footnotes which are presented such that the sutra itself is on the page on your right and the footnotes are on the page on your left. This makes it very easy to go from one to the other. You don't have to skip to the back of the book or even to the bottom of the page to find them. This is very nice for people like me with short attention spans who forget what the term they're looking up even was by the time we manage to find the footnote explaining it. And there's a glossary of terms at the end in case you really do need to know what a skandha is.
I highly recommend this book for people who want to deepen their understanding of Zen Buddhist philosophy.

I am coaching a summer league team (non USA Swimming) next year and would like to have a professional liability policy to cover me. This is proving difficult. My homeowners umbrella won't cover it. The various companies out there that insure "fitness" professionals specifically exclude coaching of a competitive team. The HOA policy for the pool wants $700 to add me, which is pretty high.
I am wondering if anyone out there can provide direction on this matter for me?

The Dallas Cowboys will start the regular season without running back Ezekiel Elliott. ESPN reports he will be suspended six games for violating the league's personal conduct policy. Elliott was caught up in allegations of domestic violence more than a year ago in Columbus, Ohio, but charges were not pursued due to conflicting information. Elliott is expected to appeal the suspension. He rushed for more than 16-hundred yards and 15 touchdowns for Dallas as a rookie last season.

Did you catch the Gossip Girl finale? I loved it! I now want to rewatch all the seasons. Also: Nashville! I love how over the top it is, and the music, and Connie Britton, who is such a babe. I've been listening to the soundtrack while I work and am especially drawn to the slower, more classic songs. They remind me a lot of the collaboration between Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris from a few years back, All the Road Running, which is excellent and highly recommended.
Thinking about:
After writing a little bit about yoga, stress, and meditation last week, I received a couple of questions about how it works for me. Granted, I've only recently started a semi-regular practice, taking advantage of the two free classes offered in my office each week, but I've really fallen in love with it, which I didn't expect. It takes a lot for me to quiet my mind, while I may be a relatively quiet person on the outside, my brain is usually running a mile a minute. I've always chosen pretty action-y sports- snowboarding, skateboarding, and more recently running and lifting- so yoga was a little intimidating in it's solitude and quiet. Turns out, it's freaking awesome. After sitting at a desk all day, taking an hour to stretch myself out- especially my poor back- is the best thing ever. I also realized the other day that the meditation, breath, and concentration that comes with practicing yoga is essential for me to reconnect with my sense of self and body. As someone who works with clothes and photography, and so many visuals, I often feel as if my life revolves around clothes, and the body is merely a place to put them. Taking that time to concentrate solely on the movement and strength of my body has allowed me to reconnect with myself, quiet my brain, and just relax.
Excited about:
Exchanging gifts. Chris and I haven't exchanged Christmas gifts for the past three years or so, but this year we decided to and I can't wait to give him the gifts I bought him. We also did stockings- which is kind of my favorite part, I love putting together stockings! Also excited about: It's snowing!

Release Date: November 12, 2013
BUFFALO, N.Y. – The University at Buffalo won two awards from BUILDINGS magazine's eighth-annual America's Best Buildings of the Year (ABBY), a contest for commercial and institutional facilities.
William R. Greiner Hall, a residential hall for sophomores on the university's North Campus, won the grand prize for new construction, while the UB-Kaleida Health building on the Downtown Campus won a merit award in the same category. The latter edifice houses Kaleida Health's Gates Vascular Institute and UB's Clinical Translational Research Center (CTRC).
ABBY award-winners "exemplify innovative performance standards for renovation and new construction projects including: energy efficiency; streamlined facility operations; sustainability measures; forward-looking designs; purposeful renovation; and community engagement," according to the magazine.
Greiner Hall creates a new standard for student living in Buffalo and beyond, said Don Erb, director of residential facilities at UB. He said the building provides an eco-friendly and mentally stimulating environment where students can live, learn and thrive.
Many structural components, including flooring, wall paneling and counters, were developed from rapidly renewable resources. Ninety percent of the interior, which hosts student housing, offices and classrooms, is bathed in natural light.
Additionally, Erb said Greiner Hall is being recognized for the community collaboration and input that went into its innovative design.
UB units including Campus Living, University Facilities Planning and Design and the Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access (IDeA Center) worked with Grand Island's Cannon Design to develop the building and open it for the fall semester of 2011 in memory of UB's 13th president.
With guidance from the IDeA Center, the design team integrated features that make the building accessible for students with a much wider range of physical and cognitive abilities than traditional residence halls can typically accommodate. Amenities include roll-in showers that wheelchair users can access easily, and ground level entrances that allow residents to enter without the use of stairs or ramps.
Erb said Greiner Hall and the CTRC exemplify the goals of UB's Physical Plan, part of the UB 2020 strategic plan, which calls for developing facilities to support the growth of research and improve the student experience in state-of-the-art classrooms, labs, libraries, dining halls, dormitories and recreational facilities.
The UB-Kaleida Health building received the merit award for its "cutting edge, 10-story 'vertical campus,'" which "ties together advanced research with state-of-the-art medicine in neurovascular, cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, and electrophysiological disciplines, according to Buildings Magazine.
The structure is divided into two sections – clinical and research centers – separated by a common space that encourages cooperation between the disciplines.
The building, which includes colorful LED lighting, warm woods and artistic wall fixtures, also features a floor plan that allows for more efficient and economical installations of medical equipment and basic utilities.
The facility was designed by Cannon Design with significant input from UB researchers to maximize collaborations that could lead to medical breakthroughs and inventive treatments.
UB has received a variety of awards for innovative and eco-friendly facilities. The CTRC, along with Greiner Hall and Davis Hall on UB's North Campus, are certified gold under the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. Kapoor Hall, on UB's South Campus, is certified silver under LEED.
In 2019, the SUNY Board of Trustees revoked the naming of John and Editha Kapoor Hall as well as John Kapoor's honorary degree. More information is available in the university's News Center.

First two ingredients are named meat products
Insufficient meat content, controversial filler
The first two ingredients in the food are named meat products. The second of these is in meal form and the sole significant meat product in the food. The first is chicken - inclusive of its water content. Once this is removed, as it must be to make a dry food, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. It is thus unlikely that it is the true first ingredient in the food, and it is likely to be more accurately placed much further down the ingredient list and is unlikely to make any significant contribution to the overall meat content of the food. There is a further meat meal ingredient 12th on the ingredient list. This is a fish meal, however, and we fail to find any assurance on the manufacturer's website that the ingredient is not treated with Ethoxyquin. Ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative, banned or heavily regulated in human food, and believed to be carcinogenic (and is commonly added to fish meal ingredients).
The main grains in the food are barley and rice, both of which are decent quality. We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than egg product in the food. Beet pulp is controversial filler. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
Overall, this product appears better than many produced under the Diamond label, although the ingredients overall are of mixed quality and we have limited confidence in the meat content of the food.

SANTA FE, N.M. — Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson, poised to sign a bill making New Mexico the 12th state to legalize medical marijuana, said Thursday he realizes his action could become an issue in the presidential race.
"So what if it's risky? It's the right thing to do," said Richardson, one of the candidates in the crowded 2008 field. "What we're talking about is 160 people in deep pain. It only affects them."
The legislation would create a program under which some patients - with a doctor's recommendation - could use marijuana provided by the state health department. Lawmakers approved the bill Wednesday. The governor is expected to sign it in the next few weeks.
The proposal and the presidency
Richardson has supported the proposal since he first ran in 2002. But he pushed especially hard for it this year, leaning on some Democrats to change their votes after the bill initially failed.
"Give him credit. It's not something you do because you're going to garner great political support for it. It is a bit controversial," said Thomas Mann, a political analyst at the Brookings Institution in Washington. By the same token, Mann says, it is not likely to hurt him in the Democratic contests.
"If he were to surprise us all and actually win the Democratic nomination, he's got an interesting mix of positions" that would not be undercut by his support of medical marijuana, Mann said.
"It's an interesting risk," added Lonna Atkeson, professor of political science at the University of New Mexico. "I'm somewhat surprised, because I think he's sort of cautious, usually."
A majority of the states that have legalized medical marijuana are in the West, and Atkeson suggested his position could play well in the region. But it could also give Richardson's rivals a potential issue to focus on.
'My God, let's be reasonable'
Drug Policy Alliance New Mexico said Richardson will be the first presidential candidate ever to advocate medical marijuana "by vocally supporting and signing legislation."
In signing the measure, Richardson "will be sending a strong message that states can and should exercise their right to do what is in the best interest of their citizens free from intrusion from the Federal government," said Reena Szczepanski of the advocacy group.
Richardson said he has been asked about the issue by only a few voters while campaigning in Iowa. He said the White House had urged him not to sign the bill.

Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill

- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
"I don't see it as being a big issue," he said. "This is for medicinal purpose, for ... people that are suffering. My God, let's be reasonable," he said.
The federal government declares marijuana an illegal controlled substance with no medical value.
A federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled on Wednesday that a woman whose doctor says marijuana is the only medicine keeping her alive can face federal prosecution on drug charges.
The Supreme Court ruled against the woman two years ago, saying medical marijuana users and their suppliers could be prosecuted for breaching federal drug laws even if they lived in a state such as California where medical pot is legal.

I was preparing for exam and I came across this question, sorry it may not be suitable to ask in this forum but I need a little help.
UCLES 03 O level Bio. 5093/2 Dec. Q.5
Suggest an explanation for the fact that the chemicals produced by endocrine glands are usually in the form of small molecules.
In fact, I don't even know what does it mean by small molecules. Insulin is a hormone, but it is also a protein. If it's a protein, then is it a small molecule? I can't interpret this question very well, can somebody help me please?
Hi WilliamY,
I am no expert on the Endocrine system, this seems like a oddly worded question. The first thing I would think of though is relative molecule size, for example Insulin is gigantic when compared to the size of considerably small molecules such as water. Is Insulin a relatively small protein? I don't know the answer to that, but I would assume due to the question that the molecules produced by the Endocrine system are small.
Some possibilities are that small Hydrophilic that are produced molecules also help solubility through plasma membranes, which is sometimes a requirement for Endocrine molecules and assisting with diffusion through blood vessels which is always a requirement. – Due to it being a O-level question it is probably to do with diffusion or so (I would assume).
Depending if it's a Neuroendocrine molecule it will need to reach a minimum threshold or exceed that threshold of receptor-molecule complexes in order to produce a response, small physical size makes it more probable for them to bind with ease.
One other possibility is that Endocrine molecules tend to be cell-signalling molecules (as far as I know), therefore there's no real need for the molecules to be excessively big as long as they can attach to the specific active site.
I hope this all helps, as I said, I am no expert in this field these are just my first thoughts on the situation. Probably best to check out the Endocrine system for a biological book, Campbell Biology is a good overview of Biology.

Considering Abortion? Consider your 'First Step'…
— By Guest Contributor Sarah Prill —
How often do you hear the phrase "my body, my choice"? Indeed it is. Abortion is legal in this country. But how often do you see the choices clearly laid out, and the consequences of either choice presented plainly. So many young women are left feeling alone, hopeless, judged; and as though they have no choice.
Regardless of your circumstances, there are choices if you are considering an abortion. And not only could the life of an unborn child be saved, but your life could be saved and spared traumatic heartbreak, too.
While Planned Parenthood has been in the news a lot as of late, and is often cited as the agency for women to seek assistance when considering abortion, the Bangor area is blessed to offer an alternative- First Step Pregnancy Resource Center. This alternative receives no government funding and exists solely from private donations, and all the services they offer are FREE.

Manufactured in Philadelphia: Paintings by Chuck Connelly
Artist's Reception: December 1, 6-9pm
Exhibit: December 1-22
Chuck Connelly received international acclaim for his work almost immediately after his graduation from the Tyler School of Art in 1977. After refining his work for two years in Germany, Connelly became one of the top contemporary artists of his time, exhibiting at the leading galleries in New York, including the Annina Nosei, Serra di Felice, and Lennon, Weinberg, as well as in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Rome, and Dusseldorf, West Germany.
His work was highly coveted and was sold into public and private collections across the country and internationally, Connelly himself becoming an icon of the 80's and 90's art scene. His rapid rise to fame was followed by a dramatic and controversial downfall, which was documented in the HBO feature "Art of Failure: Chuck Connelly Not For Sale" in 2008. Since then, Chuck has adamantly continued painting, producing volumes of cutting-edge works against the odds. Connelly's vivid life story and dramatic career are matched only by the pure brilliance of his work as an artist. Regardless of his success or failure in the public eye, Connelly has persistently produced remarkable paintings of the quality that earned him such avid acclaim in the early part of his career.
The Chestnut Hill Gallery had the honor of exhibiting Connelly's works in 2011, in a quartet show including the works of Harry Anderson, Ted Victoria, and Hal Hirshorn, curated by Connelly himself. This month, Connelly will return for a solo show featuring a selection of his works from his personal collection. Bold, dramatic, and emotionally charged, Connelly's selection exposes the artist's defined talent and experience, as well as his unfailingly innovative style as he moves forward in his painting career.

A friend mentioned maxing out pushups as a challenge for ten days in a row. To me, this does not sound particularly healthy since it all but guarantees torn up muscles and they need time to rest. His response?
Actually certain forms of exercise are fine to do everyday bc its functional movement. Push ups are such a movement as well as pull ups, squats, and lunges.
I would imagine exercises--functional or not--are okay everyday to an extent (certainly not maxing out.) However, since that's just me talking, I was hoping for something more concrete. I was also wondering how much his examples truly do classify as "functional movements" since the terminology is new do me.
Please help set things straight for me.

I've had the pleasure of working on a series called Bowlopolis for the BPAA recently, and through the first couple of episodes it became apparent that I needed to go out and record some fresh bowling sounds. SFX libraries were getting me by, but I felt the level of sound design could just go up a couple of notches.
So the gentlemen at the BPAA and the proprietors of Alley Cats in Arlington made thier facility available to me earlier this week. First and foremost, Alley Cats is a top-class facility that is much more than just a bowling center, and I'd recommend it highly.
Also, the staff was remarkably gracious and more than accomodating. They allowed me to come into thier facility more than an hour before opening, allowed me unfettered access to set mics up all over the place, and did a whole series of cool things like turning the lanes on and off while my mics were rolling, leaving lanes off while I chased balls with a mic, leaving lanes off while I poked the pins over with a boom pole, and even bowling a few games for me to record.
I didn't take enough pictures, but here's one of the generic setup:
The overall setup was a Sure KSM-32 there by the lane where the ball makes its initial impact, a stereo Sure VP-88 in front of the pins and aimed at them, a Sure SM-57 back behind that backstop aimed down at the pins for the up-close-and-personal perspective, and of course my trusty Zoom H4 positioned about 8 feet behind that camera angle for ambience.
I also chased a couple of balls down the lane (while running along that side track there) with a Sennheiser MKH-60 shotgun mic.
In the end the recordings were fantastic, and as a happy accident I realized that I had captured an excellent surround setup as well. Back in the studio, I panned the mic on the lane and the one close to the pins hard center, the stereo mic hard left and right, and the ambient mics hard back. The result was some serious reality, and I just loved it.
The whole mess folded down to stereo very well, and i'll post a sample or two later on.
The best thing of it all though, was the fact that I was given the opportunity to do my job on the same level as the most elite and accomplished in my field. The good recordings that are hard to get require good projects, good equipment, and oftentimes exclusive access. This isn't the first time I've taken an ensemble of mics out to the world for recording, but I really do love it every time I do.
I have a really cool job.

Yesterday's Disunion blog in the New York Times has a piece by Steve Hahn, "What Lincoln Meant to the Slaves," which provides a fine perspective on what the slaves were thinking and doing in the period leading up the Civil War. Hahn states, "Slaves' response to the election of 1860 and their ideas about Lincoln's intentions suggest that they, too, were important actors in the country's drama of secession and war, and that they may have had an unappreciated influence on its outcome." Steve Hahn is one the best scholars of slavery and emancipation in the United States and his Disunion blog is not to be missed.
It should also be mentioned that on February 13, 1861, two noteworthy events occurred in the story of Civil War Emancipation. On that date, the Speaker of the Maine's House of Representatives, James G. Blaine, wrote a letter to state Supreme Court asking for their opinion about whether Maine's personal liberty law was constitutional. Like Rhode Island and other northern states during the secession winter, Maine's leaders contemplated repeal of its personal liberty law in a desperate effort to forestall secession in the South. In Republican Maine, Blaine obviously wanted the Supreme Court to provide political cover for repeal. To learn more about Blaine's efforts and what became of them, <click here>.
Also on February 13, 1861, Leonidas W. Spratt, editor of the Charleston Mercury, and a leading advocate of re-legalizing the African slave trade, published an essay critical of the Montgomery convention. He called for the South to embrace its identity as a "Slave Republic." He stated, "There are many contented to believe that the South as a geographical section is in mere assertion of its independence." Spratt strong disagreed with sentiment, stating "this Union has been disrupted in the effort of slave society to emancipate itself." He also was troubled by the inroads free immigrant labor had made in Charleston, as South Carolina sold its slaves west as part of the internal slave trade, making the city uncomfortably like northern cities with their "hireling labor." Spratt saw resumption of the African slave trade as integral to the South embracing its identity as a slave republic and wanted to put pressure on the Montgomery Convention to include re-legalization in the permanent Confederate constitution which was then being debated. While a zealot in the Southern context, his essay is further evidence of the slavery's centrality in secession. For the full text of Leonidas W. Spratt's essay, please <click here>.

Interrupted childhoods: Over-representation of Indigenous and Black children in Ontario child welfare
When child welfare authorities remove children from their caregivers because of concerns about abuse or neglect, it can be traumatic and tragic for everyone involved – children, their families and even their communities. Being admitted into care comes with far-reaching consequences that can have a negative impact on children's future ability to thrive. It is an unfortunate reality that some children need to be placed in care to keep them safe. But too often, for First Nations, Métis, Inuit, Black and other racialized families, being involved with the child welfare system and having a child removed is fraught with concerns that the system is not meeting their or their children's needs, is harmful, and may be discriminatory.

I am very touched by these stories I have read about these MIA
bracelets. I too am trying to find any family belonging to the soldier
of the MIA bracelet that I have. His name is Gordon C Hall.
I went to
the Vietnam Wall last week and penciled a sketch of his name and left a
letter thanking him for his service. (my father was in Vietnam). My
mother has kept this bracelet all these years and I wanted to leave it

Case #14: MIA bracelet for Gordon C. Hall - Help Find Family
1 comment:
- Denise Barrett Olson said...
This bracelet probably doesn't belong to a family member. MIA bracelets were quite common during and immediately after the Vietnam war. POW/MIA associations used them as fund-raising tools much like the Live Strong bracelets of today. The one difference was you could often choose a bracelet for a specific person.

Returning a Loss Up in the Clouds
"Mazal Tov and best wishes for your future."
Thus responded the venerable rabbi to the young man who approached his seat on the flight from New York to Israel and informed him that he had become engaged in the States and was now returning home.
After giving him this blessing the rabbi asked him if by any chance he or anyone in the family accompanying him had lost some keys. The ring of keys had fallen from someone during the passport checking upon arrival in New York and was picked up by the rabbi without knowing to whom it belonged. Anxious to fulfill the mitzvah of returning a lost object, he fervently prayed for Heaven's help in locating the loser.
The young man, who had been on the same flight with the rabbi both coming and going, suddenly realized that he had indeed lost his keys. Imagining the trouble his family would have had by coming home late at night after an exhausting trip only to find a locked door, he profusely thanked the rabbi and expressed gratitude to Heaven for this providential experience.

Donald Trump Live at MoneyFest!
Trade Shows and Expos have always been an important way of marketing for new companies and for all kinds of companies who want to reach very specific markets. The reason for that is because everyone who attends an Expo has very special interest in the subject of the show itself. In this case, for MoneyFest, everyone who attends is looking for new and better ways to make money. So, everyone who has a business opportunity, a product or service useful to a new or growing business, will want to have an exhibit space for MoneyFest at the New York Hilton. This is especially true during this slow economy because Trade Show and Expo marketing pinpoints a target audience so exactly that no advertising dollars are wasted.
Donald Trump will
take the stage to share his insights and advice on how to make money during this new economy. He has a different perspective than Suze
Orman does on how to grow your money. Trump was in financial trouble in
the early 1990s. So, he understands what it's like to be in trouble and
to be broke and he knows and will share with MoneyFest attendees what
to do about it.

Lisa Price, Founder and President of Carol's Daughter will be teaching a women only workshop on How To Start Your Own Business.
border="0" alt="Photobucket">
Suze Orman, internationally acclaimed finance expert and host of CNBC's "The Suze Orman Show is going to give people an Action Plan on what to do about their money.

In addition to these amazing speakers, MoneyFest extends this intensive learning environment into a full day of simultaneous workshops, seminars, interactive events, sampling and contests with fabulous prizes and opportunities to meet exhibitors and other like-minded individuals. For example:
Bill Zanker's PITCHFEST!! – Some lucky person is going to go home with $10,000 that very day!!
ANYBODY can come to Bill Zanker, the Founder of all the Learning Annex Expos, and five other venture capitalists, pitch their idea or business for one minute and one lucky person will walk away THAT DAY with a check for $10,000 – ON THE SPOT to grow their idea or business!! WHOA! $10,000 in ONE MINUTE?!! Now, THAT'S what I call MAKING MONEY!!!
But what's really cool about PitchFest is, not only do you pitch your idea to the 6 venture capitalist panel, but you're pitching to a huge crowd – so, even if you don't win that $10,000, there is a good chance some people will be approached by an investor or angel in the crowd of spectators, many who came to MoneyFest specifically looking for promising ventures to invest in, or invite you to join their business.
MoneyFest will also have a "Speed Dating for Business," segment, where you get 30 seconds to sit across from an investor and pitch your business, and when the bell rings, you move along to the next investor and pitch. Have your business cards ready in hand, because those who participate will get to meet 50 new people to talk with about your idea or business in less than 20 minutes.
This powerful Expo, the MoneyFest, challenges and encourages attendees to begin a comprehensive game plan for launching or growing their own businesses. This premiere event is transformational for aspiring entrepreneurs featuring a "Who's Who" of celebrity presenters and topics in a fun, fast paced daylong experience.

Jemez Historic Site
A short drive from Albuquerque and Bernalillo, the Jemez National Historic Landmark is one of the most beautiful prehistoric and historic sites in the Southwest. It includes the stone ruins of a 700 year old village and the San José de los Jemez church dating to 1621/2. The village of Giusewa was built in the narrow San Diego Canyon by the ancestors of the present-day people of Jemez Pueblo (Walatowa). The name Giusewa refers to the natural springs in the area.
In the 17th century, the Spanish established a Catholic mission at the village. The mission was short-lived, and, in time, the people abandoned the site and moved to the current location of Jemez Pueblo. The massive stonewalls were constructed about the same time the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. The heritage center contains exhibitions that tell the story of the site through the words of the Jemez people. A 1,400-foot interpretive trail winds through the impressive site ruins.

Checking in on… the Sun BeltPosted by Brian Goodman on December 10th, 2010
Daniel Spewak is the RTC correspondent for the Sun Belt Conference.
A Look Back
- According to the beat writer for Western Kentucky's hometown newspaper, star forward Sergio Kerusch was benched for much of Wednesday night's 59-52 victory at Bowling Green. Coach Ken McDonald played the Sun Belt pre-season Player of the Year for only six minutes, citing a general lack of focus. In a similar move, McDonald also benched guard Khalil McDonald in a December 4 loss to Memphis because of on-court issues. The personnel changes opened an opportunity for freshman forward Stephon Drane the past two games, who has finally cracked the rotation.
- Bob Marlin's first season at Louisiana-Lafayette hasn't started so smoothly with a 1-6 record. Clearly frustrated with his new team, Marlin called out his squad for a lack of competitiveness and even a subpar performance in the classroom. He's got even bigger problems, though, after learning in late November that guard Josh Brown may miss three or four weeks after injuring his knee in practice. He's expected to return for conference play. Brown led the team in scoring before his injury, and ULL has lost both contests without him.
- Brandon Peterson, who started at forward for Arkansas State's first six games, did not dress against Memphis last Wednesday because of an illness—and his team still battled the #14 Tigers to overtime without him. He returned to the court five days later in a win over Lyon College, scoring seven points in 20 minutes off the bench.
Shoutout Section
- Tristan Thompson had a masterful four-game stretch for North Texas recently, averaging 26.5 points per game against Rice, Texas State, Texas Arlington and Grambling. Although Josh White and George Odufuwa are also All-Conference performers, nobody's been better than Thompson. The senior is averaging 20 points per game and has taken the reigns offensively for the Mean Green. It should be noted that Thompson's past two outings have been a bit rough—he shot 3-11 from the field at Texas Southern and scored only seven points against Sam Houston State. But don't expect that to continue very long.
- Tim Williams led South Alabama in scoring last year, but Martino Brock has that title right now as a sophomore. Brock doesn't appear intimidated by USA's big-time competition. He looked perfectly comfortable scoring 27 points against Louisville and also scored 15 against LSU. If the Jaguars want to rebound from last year's injury-riddled nightmare, Brock will need to be a big part of it.
Quote of the Week
"We didn't expect to wear red, so it was a surprise…that just set it off; we knew we had to perform."
—FAU forward Kore White, after his team beat South Florida wearing new red uniforms
Power Rankings
East Division
1. Western Kentucky (4-5): After ending a four-game losing streak with Wednesday's ugly road win at Bowling Green, WKU still holds the top spot in the East—just barely. The Hilltoppers' record is deceiving because of the murderer's row schedule they've played, which has included games against Minnesota, South Carolina, Vanderbilt and Memphis. Still, Western Kentucky is having a serious identity crisis early in the season, no matter the competition. Even in Wednesday's victory, WKU turned the ball over 29 times while at the same time had its best defensive effort of the season. Ken Brown, who's battling for minutes at the point guard position, committed seven of the turnovers, and sophomore Jamal Crook played only seven minutes at the point. Coach Ken McDonald has said he's looking for more consistency out of his inexperienced point guards, and the growth of Brown, Crook, Snap Peters and Khalil McDonald could shape the rest of the season for Western Kentucky.
Up Next: Dec. 11 vs. Southern Illinois, Dec. 18 at Murray State, Dec. 24 vs. Louisville
2. Florida Atlantic (5-4): The Owls are living up to the pre-season hype. In the span of five days last week, FAU won at Mississippi State and beat South Florida at home, bringing its record to 5-4, tops in the East. Interestingly, the high-octane Owls slowed the tempo and ground out their last two wins, even playing a zone against South Florida to combat the Bulls' size and athletic advantage. Florida Atlantic's defensive struggles hurt it last season, but Mike Jarvis has to be pleased with his team's progress on that end of the floor after holding USF to 32 percent shooting. The most astonishing part about FAU's marquee wins is that point guard Ray Taylor has largely been a non-factor. After dealing with disciplinary issues early in the season, Jarvis is still bringing Taylor off the bench. He scored just seven points against Mississippi State and did not score against South Florida. After averaging more than 32 minutes per game last season, Taylor has logged more than 30 minutes just once. Thanks to Alex Tucker, who exploded for 18 points against USF, Taylor's struggles haven't made a difference. The emergence of forward Kore White, a transfer from Marshall, has also helped. There are still questions about consistency with this group—it lost to American and George Mason by double-digits in November—and center Brett Royster can't seem to stay out of foul trouble. If the young Owls continue to grow, however, Western Kentucky will be in for a fight this winter.
Up Next: Dec. 11 at Hofstra, Dec. 13 at Siena, Dec. 16 at Troy
3. South Alabama (2-5): Much like WKU, it's hard to get a gauge on this team right now because of its schedule. South Alabama has lost four straight to UAB, LSU, Alabama and Louisville—and it has looked downright bad throughout that stretch. The Jaguars' opponents get a bit easier in the next few weeks, so we'll see if they can hang with teams of similar caliber. With as well as sophomore Martino Brock has played lately and the established scoring of guard Tim Williams, this team appears to have enough talent to at least stay competitive with Western Kentucky and Florida Atlantic.
Up Next: Dec. 12 vs. Houston Baptist, Dec. 18 at Georgia Southern, Dec. 21. vs. Alcorn State
4. Middle Tennessee (4-5): 95 minutes. That's how many minutes of basketball the Blue Raiders played in a December 4 overtime win against SIU-Edwardsville and a double-overtime loss at Belmont Dec. 7. Belmont, an Atlantic Sun favorite that beat Arkansas State by 33 points, needed eight three-pointers from senior Jordan Campbell to edge Middle Tennessee at home. After losing three starters from last year's 20-win team, this is an encouraging December loss.
Up Next: Dec. 12 vs. Furman, Dec. 18 at Evansville, Dec. 21 vs. Vanderbilt
5. Florida International (4-4): Two weeks ago, we urged you to hold off on evaluating FIU, despite a 3-1 record. Two of those wins came against non-Division-I schools, while the other was Utah Valley. Well, the Golden Panthers responded by blasting Chattanooga 80-59. Since then, Florida International has lost at Marshall, Louisville and Jackson State, so there's nothing to suggest that this team will make much noise in the East Division right now. However, the win over Chattanooga, a team that currently owns a 2-0 record in the Southern Conference and has a recent NCAA Tournament appearance to its name, boosts it ahead of Troy. But that's not saying much. If high-profile freshman Dominique Ferguson gains eligibility for the second semester, coach Isiah Thomas might have something to work with, especially since he's already getting Illinois transfer Alex Legion in a few weeks. For now, it's juco transfer Eric Frederick doing the scoring. Although he hasn't started a game in a month, he's averaged around 30 minutes per game during the past three contests and went for 26 against Marshall. With a combination of its famous head coach and the possible arrival of Ferguson, Florida International may have the most compelling team in the Sun Belt.
Up Next: Dec. 12 at Bowling Green, Dec. 18 vs. Sam Houston State, Dec. 22 vs. Florida A&M
6. Troy (1-6): The Trojans may be replacing five starters, but they're not giving up. Despite a 1-6 record, there are positives for legendary coach Don Maestri's squad. Troy took Mississippi State to overtime Nov. 26, trailed by just two at halftime against UAB and scared Arkansas by getting within seven points late in the second half. Nobody's going to hang a banner for any of those "accomplishments." But it's a sign that Troy won't roll over in Sun Belt play. Maestri still has an experienced core of three seniors in the starting lineup in Vernon Taylor, Levan Patsatsia and Bernard Toombs, all of whom came off the bench for a team that won 20 games and reached the SBC title game last season.
Up Next: Dec. 11 at Miami OH, Dec. 16 vs. Florida Atlantic, Dec. 18 vs. Belmont
West Division
1. North Texas (7-2): The first eight games—besides a loss at Kansas—were mostly a breeze for the senior-laden Mean Green. At 7-1, North Texas looked primed for another Sun Belt title and NCAA Tournament appearance. And then came Sam Houston State, which exposed every flaw of Johnny Jones' team Wednesday night in a 92-74 win. First, there are issues of depth with this team right now. After the first six or seven in the rotation, there's an obvious drop-off. This team looks like it could use Eric Tramiel, the graduated forward who received looks from NBA squads. Although Kendrick Hogans appears to be an adequate replacement for him, neither Jacob Holmen nor Nebraska transfer Alonzo Edwards have shown too much in backup roles. It's only December, though, and Holmen and Edwards aren't logging serious minutes yet. The other issue for North Texas is the defensive end. UNT hid this deficiency against inferior opponents, but Sam Houston State torched it from the field and seemed to have little trouble with North Texas' athletic defenders. One road loss at SHS doesn't change a thing for this team's expectations, however. North Texas is still the clear front-runner in the conference.
Up Next: Dec. 11 vs. Jackson State, Dec. 19 vs. Texas State, Dec. 22 at LSU
2. Arkansas State (2-6): In our last SBC check-in, we didn't panic at Arkansas State's winless record. Luckily, the Red Wolves made us look smart by winning two games and taking Memphis to overtime during the past two weeks, which keeps them slotted at number two in the West. Sure, the two wins were at Southeast Missouri State and against Lyon at home. That Memphis game should be enough to convince you of the talent level on this team, though. ASU fell behind 23-5 but slowly chipped away, trailing throughout the entire game before tying it in the final minute of regulation. Arkansas State had no business hanging that close with Memphis, but it even held a four-point lead in overtime. The Tigers didn't play especially well, but John Brady's guys clearly outplayed them. Even more impressively, the Red Wolves played harder than Memphis, staying in contention with second-chance points and a strong effort on the offensive glass. Consider this: Arkansas State shot about 39 percent from the floor, missed 13 of 18 three-point attempts and didn't get a stellar performance from any of its scorers (leading scorer Daniel Bryant finished with 16 on just 5-17 from the field). Somehow, it took the 14th-ranked team in America to overtime on its home floor.
Up Next: Dec. 11 vs. Alabama State, Dec. 18 at Georgia, Dec. 20 vs. Savannah State
3. Arkansas-Little Rock (6-3): So the team that won zero road games in 2009-10 still can't win on the road. Big deal. Arkansas-Little Rock is at least playing well at home, having knocked off both Louisiana Tech and Tulsa in recent weeks. The latter is an especially impressive win over a team that's already beaten Oral Roberts, Missouri State and Stanford. UALR's 34-point road loss to Missouri State looks ugly, especially since it has also lost by 26 to Oral Roberts and 13 to Saint Bonaventure. But coach Steve Shields appears to have found a starting point guard in D'Andre Williams, who got the majority of the minutes over freshman Daylon Guy against Tulsa and dished out six assists. And Shields also has a road win under his belt—a season-opening win at SMU—so he's got to be thrilled with his team's 6-3 start.
Up Next: Dec. 11 vs. Mississippi, Dec. 16 at Rice, Dec. 21 at Akron
4. Denver (2-6): The Pioneers haven't played the kind of schedule Western Kentucky has, but they've still challenged themselves outside of the conference here in the first two months. That has resulted in an ugly loss to St. Mary's this week, as well as a competitive loss at home to Utah State. Sandwiched in between those losses was a home win against CSU-Northridge, in which budding star Brian Stafford scored 18 points. Denver is trying to find other options outside of Stafford and forward Chase Hallam. Case in point: those two combined for 12 points against St. Mary's, and their team lost by 30 points.
Up next: Dec. 11 vs. Portland, Dec. 14 at Wyoming, Dec. 18 vs. Northern Colorado
5. Louisiana-Lafayette (1-6): ULL got off to a blazing start at McNeese State Dec. 1 but couldn't finish the game, falling by three points. And three days later, the Rajun Cajuns were deadlocked with Tulane in the second half… and couldn't finish the game, falling 63-52. It's a work in progress for Bob Marlin, who has lost guard Josh Brown until conference play due to a knee injury. All kinds of injuries and sicknesses have affected Louisiana-Lafayette during this discouraging 1-6 start. The squad hasn't been horrendously bad in any of the losses, so there's hope for conference play if Brown returns fully healthy.
Up Next: Dec. 12 vs. Texas College, Dec. 15 at UCF, Dec. 19 vs. Lamar
6. Louisiana-Monroe (2-7): Fred Brown scored 18 points in a loss to Louisiana Tech. That doesn't seem too peculiar, until you read the rest of his stat line: Brown took 28 shots and missed 11 three-point attempts. He did tally seven assists, but the point is clear: he's relied upon to do everything for this team. He's averaging about 17 shot attempts per game, but the pressure might be getting to Brown, whose assist-to-turnover ratio is less than 1:1. It's been a rough start to the season for ULM, which also lost by double-digits to South Dakota and Kent State the past month.

On FDA's Simvistatin 80 mg Tablet "Label Change"
Now what I find interesting is not the recommendation, but the background for it.
This recommendation comes for a drug (ahem, the ONLY) generically-available statin (read, "cheap") for our patients who don't have the cadillac drug benefits many folks still have. It also heralds not from a late-breaking clinical trial, but a clinical trial from.... (drum roll, please) ... two-thousand and EIGHT. (What the *$%^#$*?) Yep, that's when the SEARCH Trial on 12,000 patients comparing the LDL-lowering effects of simvistatin with high- (80mg) versus low-dose (20mg) doses of simvastatin was published.
Realize that the SEARCH Trial showed a trend toward reduced heart attacks and death from higher dose simvastatin but did not reach statistical significance, yet had a higher incidence of rhabdomyolysis in patients on the high-dose simvastatin therapy.
So where has the FDA been the past three years? Why now? Why not a similar advisory on the 80-mg dose of Liptor? Or high-dose Crestor? Might it be because higher-dose statins might actually save more lives and reduce stroke? Or should we be more concerned about rare side effects like rhabdomyolysis which, last time I checked, while can be life threatening, is often reversible when recognized.
Further, this is on one of our most widely prescribed statins out there. The recommendations proposed have impacts that span far and wide for our patients. The FDA recommendations go beyond the results of the SEARCH trial to include additional recommendations regarding dosage adjustments for other well-recognized simvastatin-drug interactions. Worse, their recommendations conflict with their earlier drug-adjustment recommendations and are far more restrictive. (Data, please?)
For instance, earlier, the FDA wanted us not to use more than 20 mg simvastatin for our patients on Amiodarone. These new recommendations tacitly cut the recommended maximum dose in half to 10 mg. Why? Just because? Or are they now more concerned about rare side effects than they are about the number of heart attacks and strokes our patients might have on the lower dose of medication?
Additionally, where are the recommendations and compensation for making changes to our patient's medication regimens? Our electronic medical records do not have the ability to query medication dosages, time taken, interactions readily available. Oh sure, someone can probably build one at great expense, but does that mean we need to contact all of these patients and make the changes? Are we negligent for not doing so now?
Merck has published a website called "simvastatininfocenter.com" where patients can get more information so the company can to cover their derrières.
Doctors have no such means for a mea culpa.
Won't be long before we see the website MuscleAchingOnSimvastatinSoSueYourDoctor.com.
Thanks, FDA.

If you can't get your patient to goal, just change to Crestor.
(This announcement brought to you by Crestor and our new sponsor, the FDA.)

I beg to differ, as I was one of the misfortunate ones.
Just after the FDA warning, I was prescribed 20mg Zocor (generic) even thought i was also taking Cardizem, and the new guidelines also applied to this interaction, as the Cardizem can increase the serum concentration of Zocor by manyfold in some people.
Well, I was one of those "some people" and developed a severe rash, trouble breathing, vertigo, dizzy spells, etc after 3 weeks. I was then switched to the 10mg, but it was too late, and we finally got off of the 10mg as well. It took almost 2 weeks to get back to normal. Ironically to almost nothing, my cholesterol numbers plummeted, and the doctor said "but you can't be feeling bad, your numbers look great".
So much for my great statin experiment(s) after having bad reactions to them twice before. diet and exercise will do it for me from now on. I've done pretty darn well with that alone.
Now I'm on Multaq for the afib, and have lost all of the aerobic gains i'd made. I can't exercise hardly at all anymore, even after just one week on that poison.
I'm getting pretty fed up with meds in general. I felt great before being put on all these meds to make my "numbers" look good. I wish no-one had ever found that tiny little irregular beat and decided I needed fixing.
Sorry to rant, but I do enjoy your blogs.
