The Second Judicial District Court would like recognize Judge Elizabeth Whitefield, who passed away on August 11, 2018.
Judge Whitefield retired from the Family Court bench in 2016, but she continued to serve the Court in a volunteer role—doing everything from presiding over hearings to processing paperwork—until just before her death.
Judge Whitefield displayed that level of commitment to service throughout a long and distinguished legal career that began with her graduation from the UNM School of Law in 1977.
While making her own mark in the legal profession, Judge Whitefield also helped open many doors for other women lawyers. She specialized in family for nearly thirty years, first with the late Willard F. ("Bill") Kitts and then with the law firm of Keleher & McLeod, where she became the first female shareholder and first female member of the Executive Committee. She also was one of three co-founders of the New Mexico Women's Bar Association.
Judge Whitefield's legal work and community service earned her many awards, including:
• The UNM School of Law Distinguished Achievement Award in 2015
• The Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce Spirit of Service Award in 2016
• The Albuquerque Bar Association Outstanding Judge of the Year Award in 2016
• The Justice Pamela B. Minzer Professionalism Award from the State Bar of New Mexico in 2017.
Gov. Bill Richardson appointed Judge Whitefield to the District Court bench in 2007. Her family law background served her well on the Family Court bench, as she looked for ways to improve the court's operations. Along those lines, Judge Whitefield was instrumental in establishing the court's Peter H. Johnstone Day, an annual event at which couples without legal representation can resolve their cases through free mediation sessions with volunteer attorneys. The Court launched Peter H. Johnstone Day in 2012, and just this year alone more than 50 couples resolved their cases at that event.
Current Family Court Judge Deborah Davis Walker said Judge Whitefield's legacy is that she "was always looking for a better way to help people get through the system without putting their kids in the middle. She was a proponent of mediation and facilitation and just resolving cases in a more reasonable way."
Chief Judge Nan Nash said of Judge Whitefield, "she loved the law, she loved being a judge and she loved the District Court."
The District Court staff also loved Judge Whitefield, and she will be sorely missed. A Memorial Service for Judge Whitefield will be on Friday August 31, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at Albuquerque Country Club 601 Laguna Blvd SW, Albuquerque, NM 87104.
(Denver, Colo.) – The Honorable John J. Romero, Jr. of the Second Judicial District Court, Children's Court Division in Albuquerque, N.M. was sworn in as 2018-2019 president of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ) at the NCJFCJ 81st Annual Conference. He is the first president representing New Mexico in the organization's 81 years.
"The NCJFCJ has been fortunate to have Judge Romero's active influence in addressing domestic child sex trafficking issues and the collaboration of Tribal and state courts," said Joey Orduna Hastings, NCJFCJ CEO. "Judge Romero's knowledge of the judiciary, his compassionate dedication to the children and families he serves and represents, and his ability to lead and engage his fellow judges makes him an exceptional leader of the organization."
Judge Romero has served as a member of the organization for 14 years, with six years on the Board of Directors. Judge Romero has served on numerous NCJFCJ committees including Governance; Military; Juvenile Law; and Family Violence and Domestic Relations. Judge Romero also served on the steering committee of the NCJFCJ's Enhanced Resource Guidelines: Improving Court Practice in Child Abuse and Neglect Cases. He is also the lead judge for the NCJFCJ's National Judicial Institute on Domestic Child Sex Trafficking, which has educated more than 425 judicial officers nationwide to better identify children at risk of child sex trafficking, and encourage judicial leadership to help improve outcomes for victims.
"The Second Judicial District Court is honored to have Judge John Romero serve as the President of the NCJFCJ," said Chief Judge Nan Nash, Second Judicial District Court, New Mexico. "Judge Romero's lifelong work, dedication and compassion have helped improve the lives of countless children and families in New Mexico. He will bring that same enthusiastic leadership to the NCJFCJ."
He was appointed to the National Advisory Committee on the Sex Trafficking of Children and Youth in the U.S. last year, a committee that advises the secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the attorney general on practical and general policies concerning improvements to the nation's response to the sex trafficking of children and youth in the U.S., as outlined in the Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act of 2014.
Judge Romero is Co-chair Emeritus of the Children's Court Improvement Commission, a past member of the New Mexico Tribal-State Judicial Consortium and remains involved with the Tribal-State Judicial Consortium. He is a national educator on issues related to juvenile justice and child welfare and was the first judge in the country to be recognized as a certified Child Welfare Law Specialist by the American Bar Association (ABA)-accredited National Association of Counsel for Children. In 2014, Judge Romero received the Alice King Public Service Award. Judge Romero is a graduate of the University of New Mexico School of Law.
"In leading the NCJFCJ, Judge Romero will bring the same compassion and commitment for improving juvenile justice courts that he has shown during his 15 years as a judge working tirelessly to do what is best for young people and families in our state," said New Mexico Supreme Court Chief Justice Judith Nakamura.
Four students recently gained invaluable experience through summer internships at the Second Judicial District Court—and they all said their positive experience at this Court convinced them to continue pursuing careers in the legal profession.
"Internships provide students with a tremendous opportunity to gain a broad understanding of the legal system and a front row seat to district court proceedings in civil, criminal, family and children's court cases. Working as a judicial extern can be very interesting, allow for a great deal of interaction with a district court judge and is highly beneficial to career development," said Chief Judge Nan Nash.
Two of the summer interns are University of New Mexico law students who said their judicial externship at the Court might have helped them decide what type of law they choose to practice after graduation.
"An externship at SJDC is ideal for law students looking to become familiar with all facets of a dynamic, bustling trial court. Externs will learn things not taught, or even mentioned, in the classroom, and will connect with mentors who are dedicated to students' success in the legal profession," said Brent Chapman, who is set to begin his second year at the University Of New Mexico School Of Law. Chapman worked on substantial research projects under the supervision of Elizabeth Garcia, General Counsel, that helped strengthen his writing skills, which has been demonstrated by Chapman's recent selection for UNM Law Review. Chapman said conversations with Presiding Family Court Judge Debra Ramirez inspired him to consider specializing in family law.
Other great opportunities include interacting one on one with judges and observing hearings in the various divisions of the Court. Hayden Wickens is also set to begin his second year at UNM Law School. He spent his summer interning in the Court's Criminal Division, specifically with the Hon. Cristina Jaramillo, where he did legal research and observed a number of significant trials and hearings. "I learned a great deal," he said. "When I started law school, I was thinking about civil and property law, but seeing the process in action really impressed me. Now, I am leaning toward practicing in criminal law."
A Career Road Map
The Court's other summer hires were Christa Street, who is entering her senior year at the University of Montana and Feliz Ruiz, who will soon begin her sophomore year at the New Mexico School for the Blind and Visually Impaired and Alamogordo High School. They both aspire to careers in the legal field as well.
Street, who is majoring in Political Science and Spanish, spent her summer working in the Court's Family Division. "This has been a great experience for me, seeing how the court functions," Street said. "It solidified my desire to go to law school. I hope to come home to attend UNM Law School, which has a great program for immigration law, which is the area in which I hope to practice."
Ruiz wants to be a court reporter upon finishing school. She spent the summer assisting the Court Reporters and Court Monitors Division. She said the experience has been positive, and has helped her understand what she needs to do to succeed in her chosen field. "In my sophomore year, I will be taking Spanish and starting my journey to becoming bilingual," she said. "I also will continue working on my typing and listening skills."
"Externships provide students an invaluable opportunity to get on the ground training and reconnect with the personal and professional purpose for pursuing a legal career," said Professor Quiana A. Salazar- King, Director of Career Strategies at UNM School of Law.

ALBUQUERQUE – Anyone with questions about how to get a REAL ID driver's license should attend the free legal fair on Saturday, July 21, 2018.
A host of professionals—from attorneys and judges to representatives from the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division and the Bureau of Vital Records—will be on hand to help visitors navigate the REAL ID process.
By October 1, 2020, anyone wishing to board an aircraft or enter a federal facility where an ID is required must have a driver's license or ID card that complies with provisions of the Federal REAL ID Act of 2005. Obtaining a REAL ID requires presenting a specific set of documents verifying one's identity.
The REAL ID Legal Fair will run from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturday July 21, at the Barelas Community Center, 801 Barelas Rd., SW, Albuquerque, NM 87102. Anyone seeking help should bring the appropriate identification documents. A list of acceptable documents is available on the Motor Vehicle Division's website.
The event's primary sponsors are:
"We're hosting this fair because we know people are still having trouble understanding what is required to obtain a REAL ID," said Shannon Bacon, Presiding Judge of Second District Court's Civil Division, and Chair of the Pro Bono Committee. "The required documents must meet certain specifications, such as all listing names exactly the same way. That can present problems for many people, such as women who changed their names when they married. In New Mexico, this also affects a number of older citizens of Hispanic descent who were forced to Anglicize their names as school children, and now do not have documents that match the names on their birth certificates."
Some people in these situations either need to go through the process of legally changing their names or having a new birth certificate issued. Experts at the REAL ID Legal Fair can help determine if any of those steps are necessary. They also will be able to provide assistance in completing those steps.
The professionals at the fair will provide the following services:
For individuals who have all of the required documents, New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division staff will be able to issue REAL IDs on the spot. Others should leave the fair with a clear understanding of what steps they need to take to obtain a REAL ID within a reasonable amount of time.
"We know this process can be complicated. As members of the Court, we are trying to make it easier," said District Court Judge Clay Campbell, who also is on the Pro Bono Committee. "We are grateful to all of the organizations that are partnering with us for this REAL ID Legal Fair. This is a valuable community service, and we encourage anyone who has not yet secured a REAL ID to come out on July 21. That October 2020 deadline is getting closer every day."
On Tuesday, May 22, 2018, members of the Second Judicial District's Specialty Court Programs participated in Mental Health Awareness Day on Civic Plaza, sponsored by Bernalillo County, the City of Albuquerque, and the Bernalillo County Government Commission in recognition of May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
Approximately 1 in 5 Americans live with a mental health condition. "Our specialty courts make a difference in the quality of life of its participants by providing a coordinated systems approach that protects public safety through the use of supervision, treatment and accountability," said Chief Judge Nan Nash. "These programs are effective, improve access to appropriate services within the mental health system, and have greatly reduced recidivism across the county and the State of New Mexico."
Kelly Bradford, Director of SJDC Judicial Supervision and Diversion Programs, highlighted the importance of this event: "It provided an opportunity for the general public and community providers to connect with our specialty court programs that serve to help people overcome issues that may be barriers to success in the community."
The Second Judicial District's Speciality Court Programs have an outstanding record of providing support, supervision and accountability to participants. The following Specialty Treatment Courts are offered:
"This event has grown over time since it started three years ago with over 60 organizations participating, and demonstrates that our community is dedicated to increasing awareness of mental health and to working collaboratively with partners on solutions that benefit us all," Bradford said.
Later this summer, the Second Judicial District Court will be launching its first civil specialty court – Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) in partnership with the City of Albuquerque, University of New Mexico Hospital and Bernalillo County. AOT is court-ordered treatment for individuals with serious mental illness who are experiencing repeated hospitalizations or incarcerations, and who have had difficulty with adhering to their treatment. According to Lisa Schatz-Vance, AOT Program Manager, the new court will begin as a pilot program with the University of New Mexico's Psychiatric Center.
"The AOT Court will focus on early intervention to improve outcomes for individuals with critical mental health issues and provides a less restrictive opportunity to ensure individuals with serious mental illness do not suffer a break in their continuity of care," said Ms. Schatz-Vance.

Jerome Sanchez and Zachary Apodaca graduated from the Second Judicial District DWI Court Program on April 11, 2018, and based on the program's track record, there's almost no chance either of them will face DWI charges again.
"Since its inception in 2013, our program has had 35 graduates—counting Jerome and Zachary—and not a single one of them has re-offended," said Anthony Rudulfo, the Court's DWI program manager.
That statistic is especially impressive considering all of the defendants referred to the program are facing felony charges as repeat DWI offenders. Once they have been screened and approved, all participants must agree to adhere to rules of the program, which takes a minimum of 24 months to complete.
Judge Jaqueline Flores presides over all DWI Court cases. She said the program works because it requires participants to undergo intense treatment that "gets to the emotional root of their drinking problem."
The treatment includes a heavy dose of group therapy that starts with each participant writing a story about their relationship with alcohol and reading that story aloud to the rest of the group. Judge Flores believes this type of therapy helps program participants develop a sense of community and accountability that makes them want to stick with their individualized treatment plans.
"Most of our participants are good people," Judge Flores said. "They just happen to have a problem with alcohol. Once they get a handle on the alcohol problem, they can become the people they were meant to be." That seems to have been true for Apodaca and Sanchez.
Apodaca said his drinking was a way of self-medicating to deal with anxiety issues he had battled since childhood. A car accident led to the DWI charge that landed him in the program, where he finally discovered he could manage his anxiety without relying on alcohol or any other substance. Having completed the program, Apodaca is looking forward to life with a new wife and daughter.
Sanchez credited the program with saving his life. "I hated the program when I started, but it has been the best thing for me," he said. "I slowly started to trust the process, and one day something in me changed. I realized that I didn't have to identify with being a screw up anymore, and I made a promise to myself that I would do whatever it took to make it through."
Sanchez and Apodaca both thanked people who started the program before them for serving as peer mentors, and encouraged those still in the program to do the same for any newcomers.
The Second Judicial District Court kicked off Mother's Day weekend by celebrating adoption proceedings that produced 31 new families.
The event took place on Friday, May 11, 2018, marking the second year the district court has kicked of Mother's Day weekend by celebrating adoptions.
"We have always held these events on National Adoption Day in November, and we will continue to do so, but we thought we should do more to promote the idea of moving children out of foster care and into permanent homes," said Marie Ward, Presiding Judge of the Second District Court's Children's Division. "The Friday before Mother's Day is the perfect time to make that statement."
The district court adoption celebration took place at the John E. Brown Juvenile Justice Center, 5100 Second St. NW, Albuquerque, NM 87107.
The families had completed all the paperwork to make their adoptions legal before arriving at the courthouse on May 11. These families were truly celebrating what for them had long been a dream in the making.
The day started with remarks from Secretary Monique Jacobson of the New Mexico Children's Youth and Families Department, who said she wanted to be there because CYFD shares the court's goal of finding ways of getting more foster children into the "forever homes."
The formal adoption proceedings followed those remarks. Then, it was time for family activities like making arts and crafts, having cake and refreshments—and of course sharing hugs and smiles.

Children Youth and Families Department Secretary Monique Jacobson will be on hand for Second Judicial District Court's Pre-Mother's Day Adoption Event on Friday, May 11, 2018.
This is the second year that Second Judicial District Court has kicked off Mother's Day weekend by celebrating adoptions. This is part of the court's ongoing effort to focus attention on the more than 100,000 children in the state's foster care system who would prefer being in permanent loving homes.
"We have always held these events on National Adoption Day in November, and we will continue to do so, but we thought we should do more to promote the idea of moving children out of foster care and into permanent homes," said Judge Marie Ward, Presiding Judge of the Second District Court's Children's Division. "The Friday before Mother's Day is the perfect time to make that statement. We are pleased that Secretary Jacobson has agreed to join us this year. "
Twenty-two children were adopted at the first Pre-Mother's Day event in 2017. Most of those children had spent time in foster care; some had lived in multiple homes and attended several different schools.
An adoption is the creation of a legal relationship between a new parent and a child, similar to that of a biological parent and child. Children in foster care who cannot be safely reunified with their biological families are adopted after the parents' rights are voluntarily or involuntarily terminated. Adoptees who have not been involved in the child protection system are adopted by a step-parent, a relative or other appropriate family carefully selected by birth parents prior to a voluntary adoptive placement.
All of the paperwork to make an adoption legal will have been completed by the time the children and their new parents arrive at the courthouse on May 11. A judge will then issue an order declaring the process complete. The families will then celebrate the occasion. The deadline for submitting paperwork to the court is Friday, April 27, 2018.
For information on submitting paperwork, contact the following individuals:
• For Judge Marie Ward, contact Marisa Salazar at 841-7392
• For Judge John Romero, contact Daniel Sanchez-Saenz at 841-7311
• For Judge William Parnall, contact Julie Parras at 841-7602.
The celebration will include a short ceremony that will include remarks from Secretary Jacobson and other dignitaries. There also is sure to be a lot of hugging and picture taking.
The festivities will take place at the John E. Brown Juvenile Justice Center, 5100 Second St. NW, Albuquerque, NM 87107.
Couples facing family law issues—such as s divorce, child custody and timesharing—without the assistance of attorneys have a chance to settle their cases free of charge at the Second Judicial District Court's Peter H. Johnstone Pro Se Pro Bono Mediation Day.
On Friday, April 20, 2018, roughly 65 to 70 family law attorneys will be at the Second District Courthouse serving as volunteer mediators for couples who want to resolve their difference through negotiation rather than litigation.
The Second District Court has been hosting Pro Se Pro Bono Family Law Mediation Days since at least 2012. Peter H. Johnstone, a family law attorney in Albuquerque, was one of the early organizers, and the events were named in his honor following his death in 2013.
On average, 65% of the couples participating in these events reach a full settlement of their cases by the end of the mediation session. Typically, an additional 10% to 15% reach at least a partial settlement.
"It's always better—especially when children are involved—for couples to resolve issues on their own terms, rather than have solutions forced on them by the court," said Judge Debra Ramirez, Presiding Judge of Family Court. "We are fortunate to have attorneys in our community who are willing to help couples who cannot afford legal representation find creative ways of resolving their cases."
"Our goal is to resolve these cases on Peter Johnstone Day, and we usually do. A few cases get reset, but even with some of those we find this process helps get them on the path to a solution," said Torri Jacobus, Director of the Court's Center for Self Help and Dispute Resolution.
There two requirements for couples wishing to participate in a Peter H. Johnstone Pro Se Pro Bono Mediation event:
• Neither party can be represented by an attorney.
• They must be referred by the Family Court.
Couples can be referred to the event by submitting a request to the judge presiding over a current case, or by making the request when opening a new case. The Court's Center for Self Help and Dispute Resolution can provide information for how to submit those requests.
The Center for Self Help and Dispute Resolution is located on the first floor of the Second Judicial District Courthouse at 400 Lomas Blvd. NW, in Albuquerque. The Center is open 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday.
The Center for Self Help and Dispute Resolution can be reached by telephone at 505-841-6702.
"A View from Gold Mountain" is the name of the sculpture to be installed on the west side of the Second Judicial District Courthouse to recognize the Asian American community's historical relationship with the justice system.
The Asian American Monument Committee unanimously chose this work by the artistic team of Cheryll Leo-Gwin and Stewart Wong after a final round of judging this past January. The Bernalillo County Commission, which is overseeing funding for the project, gave its approval for the county manager to execute a contract with the artists in late March.
The monument committee had put out a nationwide call for a piece of art to reflect the Asian American community's experiences interacting with the legal system, starting with the landmark case of the Territory of New Mexico v. Yee Shun. That 1882 case was the first in which testimony from an Asian American was considered valid in a United States court of law.
The ruling was somewhat bittersweet for members of the Asian community. On one hand, the ruling by New Mexico Supreme Court acknowledged that Asian Americans could take and abide by an oath to tell the truth when testifying in court—even if they adhered to a non-Christian religion. Previously, U.S. courts had only recognized oaths taken by practicing Christians as valid for giving legal testimony.
On the other hand, the testimony given by an Asian American was the most important piece of evidence leading to the murder conviction of Yee Shun, who many historians now believe was innocent. Yee Shun was sentenced to life in prison for a murder that took place in Las Vegas, New Mexico on February 24, 1882. Shortly after hearing the appeal of his conviction had been denied, Yee Shun committed suicide in his cell in Leavenworth, Kansas, where he had been transported to serve his sentence.
The monument committee asked artists to consider this historical context when creating the work they would propose installing outside the district courthouse. The winning team said they considered this history in not only creating their work, but in naming it as well.
Seeking the Pot of Gold
"During the Gold Rush, people in China called America the Gold Mountain. They came to America to seek their fortunes and find the pot of gold to send or take home," the artists wrote in the proposal accompanying a model of their work. "Immigrants from other regions also came to that Gold Mountain for similar reasons. Instead, like Yee Shun and the Chinese, because of their skin color, culture or other differences, they found hardship, starvation, death and disillusionment. The pot of gold was more often than not only an elusive dream."
Since its selection for installation outside the courthouse, Leo-Gwin and Wong's sculpture has garnered much positive attention, including recognition in a national online magazine dedicated to the arts.
Despite these hardships, immigrants from Asia and elsewhere persisted and built lives for themselves and their families. Over time, the judiciary and other branches of government came together to offer these citizens a measure of justice and equality.
The New Mexico Supreme Court has appointed Second Judicial District Court Judge C. Shannon Bacon, Chair, and Judge Nancy Franchini, Vice-Chair, of a committee charged with implementing steps for improving the state's adult guardianship system.
The committee is comprised of members from all three branches of state government, including Sen. James White of Albuquerque, who sponsored the newly enacted legislation, and Rep. Damon Ely of Corrales, the bill's co-sponsor.
The new law, Senate Bill 19, was passed during the 2018 legislative session and takes effect on July 1, 2018. It will revamp the state's guardianship system by opening court hearings that historically have been closed and giving family members more access to court records in guardianship cases.
In addition to making the guardianship process more transparent, the new law allocates $1 million for the courts to develop processes for better tracking and management of guardianship cases. The steering committee will advise the New Mexico Supreme Court on priorities for funds appropriated by the Legislature for guardianship reforms.
"Judge Bacon and Judge Franchini are natural choices for leadership roles on this committee," said Chief Judge Nan Nash of the Second Judicial District Court. "When legislation for reforming the guardianship system was introduced, Judge Bacon and Judge Franchini took the lead in helping legislators understand how changes to the law would impact New Mexicans and the judiciary's role in the guardianship process."
"I am honored to be a part of a team tasked with the very important job of reforming our state's guardianship system," said Judge Bacon. "The new law is aimed at increasing transparency, establishing safeguards for protected persons, and allowing greater involvement of family members in guardianship proceedings. This committee will put together concrete, actionable recommendations to the Supreme Court on establishing priorities for guardianship reforms, statewide review of guardianship and conservatorship cases, and ensuring comprehensive oversight of the guardianship system."
"I am pleased about this appointment and looking forward to meeting with the representatives of the three branches of government, implementing the key objectives of this new legislation and evaluating the recommendations of the New Mexico Adult Guardianship Study Commission," said Judge Franchini.
The New Mexico Supreme Court also appointed Judge Bacon and Judge Franchini to serve on a separate committee to recommend changes in rules governing court procedures in guardianship and conservatorship cases.
One of the most recognizable faces at the Bernalillo County Juvenile Justice Center belongs to Cassie, a 6-year-old Labrador retriever.
Cassie interacts with families, especially those with children, who need her friendship. When a girl is called to testify about traumatic abuse or neglect, Cassie might sit at her feet to provide solace. Or Cassie might stay with a sobbing boy who has just been separated from his parents after being placed into protective custody.
"Cassie provides great comfort in the courtroom and gets smiles from everyone she meets when she is in the building," Children's Court Judge Marie Ward said. "She is a silent companion who has a way of removing the edge from very difficult situations."
Cassie has been a presence at the Juvenile Justice Center since late 2013. She is a specially-trained Courthouse CASA dog, a name that is derived from the acronym for Court Appointed Special Advocates.
Cassie was purchased using a grant by New Mexico Kids Matter, the CASA program in Albuquerque. CASA believes that every child who has been abused, neglected or is in foster care deserves to have a dedicated volunteer advocate speaking up for them in court.
"We are very fortunate to have Cassie, both as a resource and as a friend," Judge Ward said. "She brings a lift to everyone she meets and she is especially valuable to the children who need her most."
Cassie was trained by Assistance Dogs of the West, a Santa Fe-based accredited service dog organization that also provides service dogs for the Veterans Court program. Courthouse dogs have been used around the country since 2003.

What inspires you to write?
I breathe – I write.
Even before I open my eyes I can see my characters and the see what they are doing, I can hear them talking and know what they are worried about. I have carried the story inside me for such a long time. I have to write it down.
There is no other passion for except this one.
Tell us about your writing process.
I like to write longhand, I get too distracted from using computers and do not touch type well.
I use dictation to transfer my books into computers. I am currently on my first draft of my second novel. I think there are at least two stages:
I have a background in performance storytelling and sometimes I like to visualise a fidgety audience in order to figure how to tell my story.
- writing the story down
- figuring about the best way to tell the story to your audience.
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born in the UK but age 12 emigrated to France, and found myself in the peculiar position of learning English as a second language. I was to sit at the back and be quiet. My mother suggested I practice writing in French.
I found myself with the perfect excuse to spend 3 hours each week writing fiction. I have never looked back.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Guy Erma and the Son of Empire is a YA Science Fiction Thriller adventure. It was not inspired by any one incident, except there was the fascinating story of Mark Thatcher who while Mrs Thatcher was Prime Minister went missing while racing the Paris Dakkar car rally. There were rumours that MI5 was despatched to find him in the Sahara desert and at the same time terrorists from Algeria and other places were also looking for him. When he was found three days later any real danger was played down, and the actual facts never revealed. What is true is that during this brief period news journalists and politicians again and again whether Mrs Thatcher step down, that she could not rule while her only son was in so much danger.
The kidnapping of Prince Teodor leaving his mother with a tenuous grip on power is a retelling of sorts of that story.
What's next up on your writing sleeves? Please tell us briefly about it.
I have currently published:
Aliens in Paris which is a short novella cum travel guide featuring two Aliens in Paris. I wrote this when I was practising working with CreateSpace and Amazon. It's only a ditty really.
Guy Erma and the Son of Empire is a 440pp ebook, paperback and hardback, and can be ordered for independent bookstores through Ingram.
Readers now prefer to read shorter books, so I am re-releasing Guy Erma and the Son of Empire as a serialisation in May 2015. The new three part series has the following titles:
- Kidnap. Part 1 of Guy Erma and the Son of Empire (186pp)
- Hunted. Part 2 of Guy Erma and the Son of Empire (162pp)
- Exile. Part 3 of Guy Erma and the Son of Empire (150pp)
I am working with another writer to create a small art book: The artwork of Guy Erma and the Son of Empire, which is due for release in June 2015.
I am currently writing and editing the second part of the trilogy: Guy Erma and the Araneidae Dome which is due in November 2015.
I have an outline of the third part of the trilogy, and I am hoping for an early date in 2016, but we will wait and see.
I am pleasantly surprised with Guy Erma and the Son of Empire because it is such a good story that gets you on-board the moment you set eyes on the first page. The cover is attractive too (a great bonus and push to begin reading!). I was sucked into the story right from the start.
My favorite character in the story is, of course, Guy Erma, the thirteen-year-old orphan boy. He has such a strong drive for success and works hard at perfecting his skills to realize his ambition to join the Dome Elite for space warriors. This part reminded me of Jon Snow from the Game of Thrones who aspires to join the Night's Watch, a military order dedicated to holding the Wall... Guy Erma has a challenge, though, and that is he is an unregistered child and therefore, (almost) impossible for him to get in. Unless he does what Chart Segat says.
I also like Teodor, Prince of Freyne. Guy and Teodor are like opposites but they both have similar drives. Teodor's passion is at taking care of feline creatures called gorans, but he also wants to master the art of blades, which is something that Guy excels in. However, at this point their paths have not crossed.
On one fateful day at the Dome, Teodor is kidnapped and many innocent children are killed or injured. Guy who is Teodor's understudy could have been the victim but he is spared by double math! Readers can now expect lots of action from this moment on. I particularly like the half human half cyborg creatures, shape shifters and cy-wolves.
This YA novel, although a lengthy one at 440 pages, has a host of well-developed, interesting characters. Despite its thickness, please do not be intimidated by it because you will be flipping pages and not realize how fast time flies when you embark on this adventure.
The story starts with a boy:
"I don't want to go, mum."
"You must..."
How long can a mother regret the last words to her son?
This story is a space opera adventure and a kidnap thriller… A young prince is kidnapped, a galactic Empire in peril for the Prince has fallen into the hands of the ruthless yet charismatic Chart Segat, a populist politician, he is also head of the crack space warriors: the Dome Elite.
Teodor's mother, Regent Sayginn of Freyne 2 will use every resource at her disposal: military might, security surveillance, battle cyborgs and insider intelligence to find her son. She will call on the Valvanchi, the telepathic shape shifting aliens to free him … The only question is can they get to the Prince in time?
Meanwhile in the shadow of the Dome, living a life of desperate poverty is another boy: 13-year-old Guy Erma. His only dream is to join the Dome Elite, and the only way he can do that is by 'doing whatever Chart Segat says.' 'Whatever he says!'
A tightly plotted thriller, Guy Erma and the Son of Empire is a complex space opera with a cracking science fiction storyline, told with verve and pace.
The book will delight those who love • Science Fiction • Space Operas • Star Wars style Adventures • Galactic Empire stories • Young Adult Science Fiction • Young Adult Space Opera • Young Adult Thrillers • Young Adult Action Adventure.
The author was born in Wallasey, England, in 1964, and moved to the South of France when she was eleven. She spent her teenage years living in the cosmopolitan city state of Monaco and became immersed in its many languages and cultures. An English girl in a French school, for three hours each week she would sit at the back of the class as her colleagues learnt English. To pass the time, she wrote stories. This led to a lifetime of writing novels, scripts, stories and articles.
In her working life, Sally writes marketing communications and manages large international websites.

Asia Pacific Economic Outlook, October 2014: Weekend Reading
The latest edition of the Asia Pacific Economic Outlook from Deloitte University Press provides a near-term outlook for Cambodia, China, Japan and Taiwan. According to the report authors, Cambodia is set to reap the benefits of political reconciliation and China's economy continues to sputter. Japan's government is in a dilemma over raising taxes again and Taiwan's growth outlook remains positive.
Following is an excerpt from the October 2014 edition of the Asia Pacific Economic Outlook.
Cambodia: Set to reap the benefits of political reconciliation. Cambodia's political troubles, which had threatened to affect the economy, seem to have abated. In a deal in July, the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) announced its decision to join parliament, which it had boycotted since disputed election results last year. The government agreed to a number of concessions, including a relatively more independent election commission. The current patch-up between opposing political parties augurs well for stability in Cambodia. It is yet another step toward a more stable democracy. Both parties can now get back to the business of reforming the economy and tackling the myriad challenges it faces.
Latest data from the National Institute of Statistics reveal that the economy grew 7.5% in 2013, up from 7.3% in 2012. The uptick in growth was in spite of floods in September and October, which affected agriculture, and political unrest that had threatened to spill to the garments and footwear sector. According to the revised data, industries grew by a stellar 11% in 2013, aided by a strong exports sector. Services growth also picked up (8.7%), aided by tourism (a 17.5% rise in arrivals), real estate services, and wholesale and retail trade. Interestingly, the NIS's growth figure for 2013 is higher than the 7.0% rise estimated by the International Monetary Fund and the Asian Development Bank.¹ Both had expected growth to slow last year due to political uncertainty and floods.
China: Economy continues to sputter. China's economy is exhibiting weakness. Several indicators point to slower growth. These include retail sales, industrial production, investment spending and bank lending. The latter was especially notable. The central bank reports that aggregate financing, the broadest measure of new credit, was just 273.1 billion Chinese yuan in July, the lowest figure since October 2008 and far lower than investors had anticipated. The broad money supply, M2, was up 13.5% from a year earlier, also less than expected. As for nonfinancial indicators of economic activity, the government reported that retail sales were up 12.2% in July versus a year earlier, industrial production was up 9.2%, and fixed asset investment decelerated in July. In addition, the purchasing managers' index (PMI) for Chinese manufacturing fell in August to 50.2, indicating that the sector is just barely growing.
What does all of this mean? It indicates that the economy continues to sputter relative to past performance. On the other hand, in the critical trade sector, Chinese exports increased 14.5% in July and 9.4% in August versus a year earlier. It appears that an improvement in global demand is benefiting China's economy.
Japan: Government in Dilemma over raising taxes again. The increase in the national sales tax that went into effect in April 2014 aimed to improve the long-term health of the nation's pension system. However, it was feared that the tax increase could drag down economic growth. The GDP data for the second quarter confirm that, as feared, the economy has contracted at an annual rate of 7.1%. The recent data revisions show a contraction of 0.3 points more than the government's first estimate published in mid-August. This is the steepest fall in growth since the first quarter of 2009, during the global financial crisis.
The downward revision was largely due to a fall in business investment that was sharper than previously estimated. Real private nonresidential investment fell 5.1% quarter over quarter during April–June, more than double of what the government initially had estimated. The increase in the sales tax affected private consumption expenditure, which accounts for approximately 60% of economic activity. Real private consumption expenditure fell 5.1% quarter over quarter due to a significant fall in spending on durable goods, such as furniture and household utensils, and on housing. The latest retail sales and factory output figures indicate a negative impact on sales due to the fall in consumption. Consumers held back on spending because they had already stocked up ahead of the tax hike. The rise in prices due to an easy monetary policy and the tax increase squeezed their spending budget as well. In addition, real wages fell 3.2% year over year in Q2 2014; this was the steepest drop in 18 quarters. Real wages have continued to fall despite the government's effort to persuade companies to increase wages.
Taiwan: Still Going Strong. Taiwan's economic recovery gained momentum in the first half of 2014 and recorded growth of 3.1% and 3.8% year over year in Q1 and Q2 2014, respectively. Growth was primarily boosted by a strong revival in private consumption demand and exports. Private consumption expenditure grew 2.7% in the first half of 2014, supported by a lower unemployment rate and rising wages. Taiwan's exports registered positive annual growth for the sixth consecutive month in July and grew 4.3% in the first half of 2014 due to the mild recovery of global demand. Growth in imports remained low, and the economy recorded a double-digit current account surplus during this period.
The Taiwan business indicator compiled by the National Development Council showed that the domestic economy is steadily recovering.² The overall monitoring indicator suggested steady growth for the next six months. Taiwan's manufacturing sector too signaled an improvement in overall business conditions. According to data released by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the industrial production (IP) index increased 6.1% year over in July 2014, while the manufacturing index rose 6.8%.³ The IP index moved up 4.5% year over year in the first half of 2014. The HSBC Taiwan purchasing managers' index rose from 54 in June to 55.8 in July, marking the largest rise since April 2011. The IP rise was supported by an all-round increase in total output, total new orders, and new export orders. Taiwanese manufacturers raised production levels for 11 consecutive months, and in July output grew at its fastest rate since January 2014. Improvement in the industry sector indicates sustained growth in production activities that began last year.

Juana Capuchino is passionate about helping people. It's why the longtime San Onofre nuclear plant employee spent a decade as a volunteer making sure homeless children had shelter and nutritious meals.
So it came naturally to her to reach out to Orange County churches, schools and nonprofits when she learned San Onofre had roomfuls of surplus items to donate after the nuclear plant closed last year.
Capo Beach Christian School in Capistrano Beach was among the 50 nonprofits that leapt at the chance to acquire San Onofre's surplus chairs, desks, white boards, carpet and cabinets for the small school serving kindergarten through eighth grade.
"I'm thrilled that Capo Beach will be able to put our donations to good use," Capuchino said. "Because we provided so many desks and chairs, the school will have more money to spend on books and laptops that directly help students learn."
The school's principal, Nicky Magnuson, said the donations also mean the school can grow, fulfilling a dream to offer high school courses and become a K-12 curriculum by 2018.
"These generous donations are changing a generation," she said. "This school has been here for 30 years and now we can take a huge step forward because of what Southern California Edison (SCE) has done for us."
Magnuson, armed with a doctorate in organizational leadership and education, has already honed in on a larger building about 10 miles south of the school in San Clemente that will be closer to many of the students' families.
She credits Capuchino with the care, persistence and knowledge to make it all happen. "She's got a huge heart, and she's a hard worker who goes above and beyond what is needed to get the job done."
For her part, Capuchino said the Capo Beach project has been rewarding for the entire SCE team. "We watched as the parents and volunteers pitched in and hauled all the chairs and materials to the school and we saw firsthand the school's generosity."
One of the volunteers is a homeless man whose endeavors inspired the school to buy him a surplus San Onofre trailer to live in. His new home is now parked by the school.
"Juana's connections in the community were the key reason San Onofre was able to help so many organizations," said Bob Allen, manager of the investment recovery team which oversees San Onofre inventory reductions and charitable donations. "She is a valued employee who makes a difference every day."
Capuchino's community work and strong performance at San Onofre have earned her numerous accolades. She was an SCE Chairman's Award winner in 2013 and received the Chief Nuclear Officer Award in 2012. She has been recognized several times for her work with homeless children, including the National Leader of the Year for Stand Up for Kids in 2005.
The community outreach by Capuchino and her San Onofre co-workers is a brief snapshot of the more than 250,000 volunteer hours donated by SCE employees each year. Their civic engagement aims to improve quality of life by increasing access to education, promoting public safety and environmental stewardship.

Annexin V-PE Apoptosis Staining / Detection Kit (ab14155) is based on the observation that soon after initiating apoptosis, most cell types translocate the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylserine (PS) from the inner face of the plasma membrane to the cell surface. Once on the cell surface, PS can be easily detected by staining with a fluorescent conjugate of Annexin V, a protein that has a strong natural affinity for PS. The one-step staining procedure takes only 10 minutes. In addition, the assay can be directly performed on live cells, without the need for fixation.

These FIFA 15 defensive formation tips will help you to set your team up with the best defending formations which will lead to you scoring more goals on FIFA 15 with our original tips. Please read on to explore a couple of our favourite formations we use when looking to make our teams strong defensively.
This formation is extremely useful when you want to make your team very compact and give the opposition little time on the ball in your final third. Use this formation in conjunction with pressing left on your direction pad to make your team defensive or ultra defensive. This will force your wingbacks to hold their position and will encourage your midfield 3 to drop in to defensive midfield positions also. Therefore you have 8 players guarding the goal in your final third. Unless they are a magician or score a screamer from 35+ yards then they won't be troubling your goalkeeper. We use this from time-to-time to close out games in the final 10/15 minutes. When you get the ball you have so many options because of how compact your team will be that keeping possession should also become easier and help you see out the game.
Below is a more detailed defensive formation breakdown and is an extract from our FIFA 15 Tactical Guide which is a purchasable PDF file available for just £2.99 English Sterling or you can purchase our bundle packages and get big discounts on all three or two, if you prefer. Read more here. The tactical guide features 21 different formationsas well as custom tactics tips and help. More information can be found on this guides by clicking here.
Strengths: As with any 5 at the back formation you're strengths are going to be a solid defensive set-up. This is probably one of the best counter attacking formation in the game. The reason for this is the 5 defenders allow for your midfielders to push on a support the front 3 and forget about their defensive responsibilities as such. The CF can work brilliantly by dropping into 'the hole' behind the 2 STs which would hopefully see the defensive structure of the other team fragment a bit so you can then use the CFs passing ability to get one of your STs a good chance on goal.
Weaknesses: This formation can leave you chasing the ball for the vast majority of the game if you come up against a good passing player. It is very weak against teams that pass about the midfield because you will likely be outnumbered 2 against 3 sometimes even against 4 or 5. If you aren't comfortable soaking up pressure and like to be on the ball more than your opponent then avoid using this formation.
Key player/position: We have selected the CF for this particular formation for one very good reason. Pick a CF with a medium/high defensive work rate as well as a high attacking work rate and they're going to be a real asset to your team. If they can drop in to help the 2 CMs but also work forward to find space in behind the two STs then you're going to have a very difficult CF to contain. Bad news for your opponents.
Most suited style of play: Defensive set-up with strong possibilities for counter attacking.

Amyloid and Alzheimer's Disease: Inside and Out The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences. Le Journal Canadien Des Sciences Neurologiques. May, 2012 | Pubmed ID: 22547507 Alzheimer's disease (AD) is poised to become the most serious healthcare issue of our generation. The leading theory of AD pathophysiology is the Amyloid Cascade Hypothesis, and clinical trials are now proceeding based on this hypothesis. Here, we review the original evidence for the Amyloid Hypothesis, which was originally focused on the extracellular deposition of beta amyloid peptides (Aβ) in large fibrillar aggregates, as well as how this theory has been extended in recent years to focus on highly toxic small soluble amyloid oligomers. We will also examine emerging evidence that Aβ may actually begin to accumulate intracellularly in lysosomes, and the role for intracellular Aβ and lysosomal dysfunction may play in AD pathophysiology. Finally, we will review the clinical implications of these findings.
A Dual Magnetic Resonance Imaging/fluorescent Contrast Agent for Cathepsin-D Detection Contrast Media & Molecular Imaging. Mar-Apr, 2013 | Pubmed ID: 23281285 Currently there are no approved biomarkers for the pre-symptomatic diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cathepsin-D (Cat-D) is a lysosomal protease that is present at elevated levels in amyloid plaques and neurons in patients with AD and is also elevated in some cancers. We have developed a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/fluorescent contrast agent to detect Cat-D enzymatic activity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cellular and tissue uptake of this MRI/fluorescent contrast agent. The agent consists of an MRI probe [DOTA-caged metal ion (Gd³⁺ or Tm³⁺)] and a fluorescent probe coupled to a cell-penetrating-peptide sequence by a Cat-D recognition site. The relaxivity of Gd³⁺-DOTA-CAT(cleaved) was measured in 10% heat-treated bovine serum albumin (BSA) phantoms to assess contrast efficacy at magnetic fields ranging from 0.24 mT to 9.4 T. In vitro, Tm³⁺-DOTA-CAT was added to neuronal SN56 cells over-expressing Cat-D and live-cell confocal microscropy was performed at 30 min. Tm³⁺-DOTA-CAT was also intravenously injected into APP/PS1-dE9 Alzheimer's disease mice (n = 9) and controls (n = 8). Cortical and hippocampal uptake was quantified at 30, 60 and 120 min post-injection using confocal microscopy. The liver and kidneys were also evaluated for contrast agent uptake. The relaxivity of Gd³⁺-DOTA-CAT(cleaved) was 3.3 (mM s)⁻¹ in 10% BSA at 9.4 T. In vitro, cells over-expressing Cat-D preferentially took up the contrast agent in a concentration-dependent manner. In vivo, the contrast agent effectively crossed the blood-brain barrier and exhibited a distinct time course of uptake and retention in APP/PS1-dE9 transgenic mice compared with age-matched controls. At clinical and high magnetic field strengths, Gd³⁺-DOTA-CAT produced greater T₁ relaxivity than Gd³⁺-DTPA. Tm³⁺-DOTA-CAT was taken up in a dose-dependent manner in cells over-expressing Cathepsin-D and was shown to transit the blood-brain barrier in vivo. This strategy may be useful for the in vivo detection of enzyme activity and for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
The Amyloid Precursor Protein is Rapidly Transported from the Golgi Apparatus to the Lysosome and Where It is Processed into Beta-amyloid Molecular Brain. 2014 | Pubmed ID: 25085554 Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by cerebral deposition of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ). Aβ is produced by sequential cleavage of the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) by β- and γ-secretases. Many studies have demonstrated that the internalization of APP from the cell surface can regulate Aβ production, although the exact organelle in which Aβ is produced remains contentious. A number of recent studies suggest that intracellular trafficking also plays a role in regulating Aβ production, but these pathways are relatively under-studied. The goal of this study was to elucidate the intracellular trafficking of APP, and to examine the site of intracellular APP processing.
Arf6 Controls Beta-amyloid Production by Regulating Macropinocytosis of the Amyloid Precursor Protein to Lysosomes Molecular Brain. 2015 | Pubmed ID: 26170135 Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the deposition of Beta-Amyloid (Aβ) peptides in the brain. Aβ peptides are generated by cleavage of the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) by the β - and γ - secretase enzymes. Although this process is tightly linked to the internalization of cell surface APP, the compartments responsible are not well defined. We have found that APP can be rapidly internalized from the cell surface to lysosomes, bypassing early and late endosomes. Here we show by confocal microscopy and electron microscopy that this pathway is mediated by macropinocytosis. APP internalization is enhanced by antibody binding/crosslinking of APP suggesting that APP may function as a receptor. Furthermore, a dominant negative mutant of Arf6 blocks direct transport of APP to lysosomes, but does not affect classical endocytosis to endosomes. Arf6 expression increases through the hippocampus with the development of Alzheimer's disease, being expressed mostly in the CA1 and CA2 regions in normal individuals but spreading through the CA3 and CA4 regions in individuals with pathologically diagnosed AD. Disruption of lysosomal transport of APP reduces both Aβ40 and Aβ42 production by more than 30 %. Our findings suggest that the lysosome is an important site for Aβ production and that altering APP trafficking represents a viable strategy to reduce Aβ production.

Meat Puppets – Mirage lyrics
Scanning all around
Nothing there to see
Suddenly from nowhere
Things that shouldn't be
Big gunpowder falls
Tumbles underground
Drops of cardboard water
Ancient blocks of sound
Mirage ...
Water sets the fire
Spinning on its tail
Shade grows to night-time
Pleasures there for sale
Nobody sees
The way it goes
Timeless land
Nobody knows

Faculty of Education, University of Waikato was established in 1960, more than 50 years ago to provide initial teacher education programs. They were the first institute in the Waikato to do this. Their first program was a two-year diploma in primary school teaching. Later programs in secondary school teaching and early childhood followed. In later years they also provided training to youth police officers and qualifications for Maori Medium teachers.
Originally the Faculty was called Hamilton Teachers' Training College. In 1991 the name changed to the School of Education, after merging with the University of Waikato. The merger was a historic moment in the institute's history, as it allowed for higher education opportunities for its students and staff. In 2010 the name changed to Faculty of Education to align with the University's policy. In 2010 they also celebrated 50 years of teacher education with a reunion.
Today the role of the Faculty is more than just delivering initial teacher education programs. Since its inception the Faculty of Education has introduced a diverse range of postgraduate and undergraduate programs. In addition to their programs, their strong research networks cater for the national and international educational researcher and those completing research degrees. As leaders in their field they annually attract significant research contracts that are committed to making a difference to teaching and learning.

One of the leading sports supplement retailer Bodybuilding.com is now latest to suspend sales of the pre-workout powder Craze in the wake of a USA TODAY investigation of the product's maker.
"The main message is there are too many questions, and my view on this is the responsible thing is to investigate it and hold off on sales until we get a definitive answer," Carter said.
GNC and other online retailers, including Amazon.com, continue to sell Craze. "With third-party products, GNC is simply the retailer and, like all retailers, relies upon the representations and contractual warranties made by the vendor that the products are safe and compliant with all applicable laws and regulations," GNC said in a recent statement to USA TODAY. Amazon did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

Media Release: Local Democracy the True Winner on the Day
11 September 2017
Counting is expected to continue for a number of days before the result is known from all 46 council elections held in NSW yesterday, the local government sector said today.
Local Government NSW (LGNSW) President Keith Rhoades said some pundits were suggesting there had been significant swings, illustrating the community's feelings about the State Government's council amalgamation policies.
Around 2.8 million people were expected to vote in polls fo 20 amalgamated councils previously under administration, and a range of councils given a reprieve after launching court challenges.
"It's a well-known cliché, but that doesn't make it untrue: democracy was the winner on the day," Clr Rhoades said.
"There's always a lot of debate and soul-searching after every election, as political parties and candidates seek to parse where they went wrong – or where they went right.
"The reality is that the voters never get it wrong.
"Australian voters are more than capable of indicating who they want to serve as their voice in government.
"The most important takeout from the results of yesterday's elections is that local democracy matters … both for those communities whose councils were amalgamated and those granted a reprieve."
Most NSW councils held their elections in 2016, but elections for these remaining 46 were held over until the amalgamation process was complete, or the decision made that a merger would not proceed.
The split-election delay between councils who ran elections in 2016 and the 46 holding elections yesterday, along with the introduction of wards in some LGAs, may have been a factor in lower than expected voter turnout.
Also relevant is the lack of absentee voting, except for a single multi-council polling place at Sydney's Town Hall.
Clr Rhoades said local councils remained the sphere of government most likely directly impact the day-to-day lives of local communities.
But he stressed that the responsibilities and operations of modern councils extend far beyond the old outmoded 'roads, rates and rubbish' model.
"Local Government employs some 45,000 people across the state, and has an annual spend of $10 billion – as a sector we're active almost every sphere of daily life," he said.
"Today's councillors come from a wide variety of backgrounds and they operate at the strategic level to deliver the services and infrastructure that communities need.
"That's why council elections and local democracy are so important.
"It's the best way residents and ratepayers can help shape the future of their neighbourhoods and towns."

purpose. To measure retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in normal Latinos using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
methods. Three hundred twelve Latino participants, aged 40 years or more, underwent a detailed ophthalmic examination, including measurement of visual acuity, intraocular pressure, visual field perimetry, and stereoscopic optic disc photography. None of the participants had any evidence of ocular hypertension, glaucoma, or other ocular disease. Nine scans were performed on one eye of each participant by optical coherence tomography (OCT Model 2000; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA, software version A 6.1): three circumferential peripapillary scans and six radial scans of the macula. The average RNFL thicknesses in the peripapillary region and macula were measured. A paired t-test and linear regression analyses were used to analyze the data.
results. The mean age of the participants was 52 years (range, 40–79 years). The average peripapillary RNFL thickness 1.74 mm from the center of the disc was 132.7 ± 14.4 μm, and the average macular RNFL thickness was 44.8 ± 14.8 μm. The average macular retinal thickness was 173 ± 28.5 μm. The average peripapillary RNFL thickness in the four quadrants was as follows: superior 157.7 ± 17.8 μm, nasal 109.3 ± 19.1 μm, inferior 159.8 ± 18.9 μm, and temporal 102.5 ± 19.0 μm. There were no gender-related differences in macular or peripapillary RNFL thickness (P = 0.12 and P = 0.35, respectively). The average macular and peripapillary RNFL thickness was thinner in older Latinos than in younger Latinos (P = 0.04 and P = 0.0001, respectively).
conclusions. Regional and age-related differences in the peripapillary and macular RNFL thickness should be considered when diagnosing and monitoring individuals with diseases that affect the RNFL.

From Syracuse, New York, USA:
Could you please explain "rebounding?" My daughter's glucose levels will occasionally drop during the night. She does not wake up. The only signal we have is her DexCom alarm. Two nights ago, she alarmed at 40 mg/dl [2.8 mmol/L]. She never woke up and felt nothing. This has happened only four times in the past three years, however, I am terrified that she NEVER has had a rebound. Any insight as to why this is happening would be appreciated.
Frankly, I don't know if I have ever read anything "official" about "rebounding" yet it is a term that clinicians in endocrinology/diabetology use all the time.
"Rebounding" would be essentially the same as the "Somogyi effect," [A swing to a high level of glucose (sugar) in the blood from an extremely low level, usually occurring after an untreated insulin reaction during the night. The swing is caused by the release of stress hormones to counter low glucose levels. People who experience high levels of blood glucose in the morning may need to test their blood glucose levels in the middle of the night. If blood glucose levels are falling or low, adjustments in evening snacks or insulin doses may be recommended. This condition is named after Dr. Michael Somogyi, the man who first wrote about it. Also called "rebound."(from the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Disease dictionary)]. Essentially, it is the "rebound" of an overly compensated higher serum glucose following a low glucose.
When the glucose drops (both in patients with diabetes mellitus and in unaffected individuals in good health), a number of normal, physiologic processes kick into play to return the serum glucose to normal. Such processes include (but are not limited to) increased production of cortisol and adrenaline from the adrenal glands, increased growth hormone from the pituitary gland, increased glucagon production from the pancreas, increased new glucose synthesis from the liver, and others. In a normal individual, the increase in glucose stabilizes after the serum glucose reaches the normal range. But, in the individual with insulin deficiency, there is no insulin to keep the glucose from continuing to rise to super high levels following the low glucose. This is the "rebound," "bounce," or Somogyi effect.
I wouldn't be "terrified of not having a rebound." It probably means that your child still had some insulin on board. Sometimes a child's insulin will be one that "peaks" later and might prevent a rebound. Since you indicated that your child uses an insulin pump, then I'd postulate that the basal rates go down in the middle of the night. The higher rate led to a lower reading; there were the natural compensating mechanisms to bring up the glucose, and the continued infusion of insulin at a lower rate kept the glucose in check. I suppose there might be other explanations as well.
I am assuming that the glucose readings do not stay low for your child?

If you've been trying to lose weight but is still unsuccessful? Why don't you try the Medifast Weight Loss Center's program?
Medifast is one of the many centers in the US right now that offers a weight loss program promising to deliver great results. What makes it 'unique' is that it offers different diet plans for different people.
Weight Loss Plan for Women
This plan was specifically designed to meet the special dietary needs of women and is guaranteed to be a safe and effective program for losing weight. The plan involves a very low-calorie diet that when taken with the center's specially formulated shakes results to a weight loss of 3 to 5 pounds a week.
Weight Loss Plan for Men
need to lose weight, weight loss diets, fastest weight loss,
This plan is developed especially for men but can also be used by sporty and very active women who engage in daily strenuous exercise. Compared with the women's plan, this plan provides more protein and a modestly higher calorie count.
Medifast Weight Loss Plan for Diabetics
Diabetics have special dietary concerns which makes it important for them to have a diet plan that's meant just for them. This plans not only helps in controlling blood sugar but can also help Type II diabetics lose unwanted pounds. Meanwhile, the Medifast Weight Loss Center recommends Type I diabetics use Medifast products as an occasional meal replacement only, unless prescribed by their doctor.
Other weight loss plans in the Medifast' product line includes the Medifast Plus for Appetite Suppression, Medifast Plus for Joint Health, and Woman's Wellbeing Menopause Relief.
To speed up their client's progress, the center recommends them to combine exercise with their diet plans and drink 8-oz glasses each day.
As with any other diet plan, you must consult first with your doctor.

The world of celebrities wasn't built in a day and it wasn't built by one person. Even in a modern world where we live in, people rely on one another to reach their business goals in the glamorous industry. Business owners affiliated to entertainment industry have based their relationships on communication, internet and of course real-world encounters. In recent years, relationship between this industry and the virtual world is being recognized as prominent, personable and expressive bonds as well. There is a new type of bonding arising on the internet where the industry is giving big opportunities for talented actors, artists and impersonators.
Sergio Cortes was introduced to the entertainment world through his employer on the internet. He went on to become the most famous Michael Jackson impersonator in a short period of time. The story is often told about him who joined the list of well-known public figures in the recent years. After talking with his employer, many producers can't help but be inspired and excited about the opportunities they will have by hiring him. Rather than pose for cameras in different angles, Sergio Cortes is one such impersonators who has given many music and dance shows throughout the world and participated in a wide range of performance oriented programs as well.
Compatibility is an important component of the success of any impersonator and no impersonator is a close match to the King of Pop like Sergio Cortes. Whether it is in the real world or television, popularity comes from acceptance and trust. Sergio Cortes has consistently delivered high quality shows throughout his career as MJ impersonator. His employers are happy, fans are happy and many other producers doing business with him are eager to have him as a client. These deals have worked so well that many see him as a person with great future. In the real and virtual world, Sergio Cortes has chosen who he wanted to present himself and his fans have accepted him to be the best so far. In fact, Cortes often wears the same outfit Michael Jackson used to wear, even in public. He has been experimenting with his appearance and altering at will for various shows as well. The way he represents himself reminds his fans that he can go beyond physical appearance and express his comprehensive personality like Michael Jackson. In essence, Sergio Cortes is the best MJ impersonator alive.
