The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new drug for treating breast cancer that effectively targets tumors, thus minimizing damage to other cells in the body.
The drug Kadcyla (kad-SY'-luh) from Roche combines the established drug Herceptin with a powerful chemotherapy drug and a third chemical linking the medicines together. According to an AP report, the chemical keeps the drug combination intact until it binds to a cancer cell and delivers its anti-tumor cocktail.
Regular chemotherapy works like an indiscriminate nuclear weapon -- it destroys a massive amount of healthy cells along with cancerous cells. Targeted cancer treatment is more akin to a cruise missile that's programmed to detonate only when it reaches a specified target.
The FDA approved the new treatment for about 20 percent of breast cancer patients with a form of the disease that is typically more aggressive and less responsive to hormone therapy. These patients have tumors that overproduce a protein known as HER-2.
The FDA approved the drug based on company studies showing Kadcyla delayed the progression of breast cancer by several months. Patients treated with the drug lived 9.6 months before death or the spread of their disease, compared with a little more than six months for patients treated with two other standard drugs.
At $9,800 per month, Kadcyla treatment will initially run more than double the cost of Herceptin (roughly $4,500 per month). Roche estimates a full course of Kadcyla, about nine months of medicine, will cost $94,000.
The concept of "delivering" anti-cancer drugs to targeted tumors has been in development for more than two decades, but the last few years have seen exceptional progress. The next phase of targeted treatment will likely involve nanoparticles -- smaller-than-microscopic transport vehicles that are injected into the body and deliver their devastating payload only to a cancerous tumor.
Researchers have been experimenting with different materials to create nanoparticles since the 1990s. The first promising candidates were lipids--naturally occurring molecules that include fats and waxes--but they are generally too large to penetrate tumors effectively and are quickly removed from the body.
The latest candidates are polymers--synthetic molecules that can be tailored to the type of medication they are meant to deliver.
According to Juntao Luo, PhD, a researcher working on polymer nanoparticles at the Upstate Medical University of New York: "The general concept is that one nanoparticle may not be able to deliver different types of medications. You may need to design a nanoparticle for each medication." He adds that nanoparticles may need to be further tailored to individual patients, who may respond differently to medications depending on the stage and markers of their cancer.
"Polymer nanoparticles carry the medication to the tumor site within 24 hours. Remnants of the nanoparticles are flushed from the body through the kidneys. While they are designed to work most effectively in solid tumors, nanoparticles may also help fight some cancers of the blood," Luo says.
Other nanoparticle treatments are also being explored, including the use of metals like gold to serve as the payload vehicle. Pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca recently announced that it has made significant advances in using gold as a means to piggyback cancer drugs targeted for tumors. Gold flecks are durable enough to carry a large amount of a given drug, and 5,000 flecks can fit on the width of a human hair.
The big takeaway is that we may be approaching a turning point in cancer treatment. With FDA approval of new drugs like Kadcyla, and human trials of nanoparticle cancer therapy in the offing, it is possible that humanity is finally gaining the upper hand on a disease that once seemed invulnerable.

14 General Information An Introduction to Pharmacy As a profession, pharmacy exists to serve the needs of society, most often represented as the needs of individual patients. Pharmacy s ultimate goal is to render pharmaceutical care. Pharmaceutical care encompasses the full range of pharmacists skills, knowledge and abilities in providing medication services to patients. The principal goal of pharmaceutical care is to achieve definite outcomes from medication use that improve patients quality of life. These outcomes include: 1) cure of a disease; 2) elimination or reduction of symptoms; 3) arresting or slowing a disease process; 4) prevention of disease; 5) diagnosis of disease; and 6) desired alterations in physiological processes, all with minimum risk to patients. Pharmacists are professionals, uniquely prepared and available, committed to public service and to the achievement of this goal. Historically, the functions of the pharmacist centered on the preparation and provision of a drug product to a patient. However, in recent times, the scope of the pharmacist s activities has expanded to include consultation with physicians and other health professionals in the process of pharmacotherapeutic decision making; selecting an appropriate dosage form for a given patient; determining the dose and dosage schedule; preparing the medication for administration to the patient; providing information about the medication to the patient; advising the patient to assure the medication is used correctly for maximum effectiveness; and monitoring the patient to prevent or detect harmful side effects. Pharmacists, in collaboration with other health professionals, have the responsibility of assuring optimal outcomes from drug therapy for their patients. An expanding need for pharmacists is shown by examining some of society s significant social and health issues. These issues include increases in average life span, the percentage of elderly in the population, and the increased incidence of chronic diseases; the increased complexity, number and sophistication of medications and related products and devices; increased emphasis on primary and preventive health services, home health care, and long-term care; and concerns about improving patients access to health care, controlling its cost, and assuring its quality. The role of medications and their proper use is found throughout these issues and pharmacists are at the center of the system addressing them. The pharmacist is the most accessible member of the health care team. A pharmacist is often the first health professional with whom patients will confer regarding a health question and is likely to be the final one with whom patients consult about their medications and their use. Today s pharmacist must not only dispense prescriptions, but also communicate information and provide medication-related primary health care. Accredited Professional Programs of Colleges and Schools of Pharmacy The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) is the sole accreditation agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to accredit professional degree programs in pharmacy. Therefore, ACPE s directory is the only directory of accredited professional degree programs in pharmacy recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. For students and prospective students, accreditation assists in the transfer of credits among institutions and provides an assurance that a program has been found to provide satisfactory educational preparation for licensure and practice. The types of accreditation include initial or continued accreditation and preaccreditation, which is broken down to Precandidate status and Candidate status. The professional degree program of a college or school of pharmacy is granted initial or continued accreditation if it has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of ACPE that the program complies with accreditation standards. This includes the appropriateness of the program s mission and goals, the adequacy of resources and organization to meet the mission and goals, outcomes which indicate that the mission and goals are being met, and the reasonable assurance of the continued compliance with standards. In the event that the ACPE Board of Directors determines a program is not in compliance with a standard or standards, the program will be notified in writing of its non-compliance and given a period not longer than two years to bring all aspects of non-compliance into compliance with ACPE accreditation standards. Generally, if after one year of notification of non-compliance, the program fails to demonstrate adequate progress towards achieving compliance with ACPE standards, ACPE will place the program on probation. A newly instituted Doctor of Pharmacy program of a college or school of pharmacy must be granted each of the two preaccreditation statuses at the appropriate stage of its development. The standards are the same as those employed for accredited status. However, preaccreditation involves, in large measure, planning in accord with standards and provision of reasonable assurances for a quality outcome. It should be noted that a new program must achieve precandidate accreditation status prior to the enrollment of students. Failure to do so will preclude consideration for ACPE accreditation until after graduates have been produced, at which time a program could be considered for full accreditation status. As these first graduates would emerge from a program with no accreditation status, they may not be eligible for licensure as pharmacists. A new program that has no students enrolled but that meets the eligibility criteria for accreditation may be granted Precandidate accreditation status. The granting of Precandidate status indicates that a college or school s planning for the Doctor of Pharmacy program has taken into account ACPE standards and guidelines and suggests reasonable assurances of moving to the next step, that of Candidate status. Granting of Precandidate status brings no rights or privileges of accreditation. Full public disclosure by the college or school of pharmacy of the terms and conditions of this accreditation status is required. xiv Pharmacy School Admission Requirements,
15 Once students have enrolled in a new program, but the program has not had a graduating class, the program may be granted Candidate status. The granting of Candidate status denotes a developmental program, which is expected to mature in accord with stated plans and within a defined time period. Reasonable assurances are expected to be provided that the program may become accredited as programmatic experiences are gained, generally, by the time the first class has graduated. Graduates of a class designated as having Candidate status have the same rights and privileges as graduates of an accredited program. Career Options Pharmacists provide pharmaceutical care in a variety of settings. Most visible is the community pharmacist who practices in the local, independently-owned pharmacy, chain pharmacy, pharmacy department in a food or discount store, or professional health center. Other practice opportunities exist for pharmacists in hospitals, home health care, nursing homes and extended care facilities, neighborhood health centers, and health maintenance organizations. In all these practice settings, pharmacists are responsible for direct patient care. They manage systems designed to assure that each patient receives the appropriate medication in the correct form and dosage, at the correct time, and that the patient understands the intended and proper use of the medication. Pharmacists are also employed by firms that discover, develop and produce chemicals, prescription and nonprescription drugs, and other health products. Pharmacists in the pharmaceutical industry conduct research, develop and market products, maintain quality control, and administer programs. Many of the more than 5,500 full-time faculty members who work in the nation s 120 colleges and schools of pharmacy are pharmacists. In general, all participate in teaching students, conducting research, providing patient care, and/or participating in public and professional service activities (e.g., act as consultants for local, state, national, and international agencies and organizations). To quote one current pharmacy faculty member, Perhaps no other job in pharmacy has such far-reaching effects on the profession as that of an educator. It is in academia that one can excite young people about pharmacy and lay the groundwork for continuing advances in the field. In government, pharmacists hold staff and supervisory posts in the United States Public Health Service, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Armed Services. Some pharmacists perform highly specialized tasks such as advertising, technical writing, magazine editing, and science reporting. Pharmacists with legal training serve as patent lawyers or experts in pharmaceutical law. There are pharmacists in America s space laboratories and aboard ships such as the S.S. Hope; others direct manufacturing firms or specialize in medicinal plant cultivation. In short, today s pharmacy graduates have an enormous variety of careers open to them that draw upon the expertise gained from a pharmaceutical education. Educational and Degree Options A sound high school and college education in math and science is essential in preparing for the study of pharmacy. Also, good communication skills are important in the study and practice of pharmacy, and a broad general education in the social sciences and humanities is important preparation for anyone. When preparing an application to a college or school of pharmacy, consult early with the dean or admission s counselor. The structure of the pharmacy programs vary from college to college. Some colleges require one, two, or three years of prepharmacy education, while others require a Bachelor s degree and others integrate the curriculum with all years of study in the professional college. Preprofessional education may be taken at any approved junior college or university. Additionally, some colleges offer alternative enrollment options, including part-time enrollment and year-round classes. School specific structure options are listed in table 1 on pages xxx xxx. In July 1992, a majority of the nation s schools and colleges of pharmacy voted to move toward awarding the doctor of pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree as the only professional degree in pharmacy. In June 1997, the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), the accrediting agency for pharmacy programs in the United States, adopted new accreditation standards and guidelines. As a result of the Implementation Procedures published by the ACPE, the B.S. in Pharmacy degree is no longer offered to new students. New students who wish to practice pharmacy in the U.S. must earn a Pharm.D. degree from an accredited college or school of pharmacy and pass a state board examination. A Pharm.D. degree requires at least four academic years (or three calendar years) of professional study, following a minimum of two years of preprofessional study. Individual schools have specific requirements for preprofessional study. The majority of students enter a pharmacy program with three or more years of college study. The pharmacy curriculum is designed to produce a scientifically and technically competent pharmacist who can apply this training in such a manner as to provide maximum health care services to patients. The Pharm.D. program provides the opportunity for students to gain experience in patient-centered learning experiences and in working in close, cooperative relationships with health practitioners. It is the goal of all pharmacy schools to prepare pharmacists who can assume responsibilities in the care of patients and assure the provision of rational drug therapy. General Information xv
16 General Information After graduating from pharmacy school, increasing numbers of students are seeking residency training in institutional and community pharmacy practice. These residency programs may be in pharmacy practice or specialty areas, depending upon personal interests and specific career requirements. Completion of a pharmacy residency is sometimes a requirement for employment in hospital pharmacy practice or clinical faculty positions. Students with a pharmacy degree, or with a baccalaureate in another science-based discipline, can pursue graduate work in one of pharmacy s several scientific disciplines and earn a Master of Science (M.S.) and/or Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. The M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are research-oriented degrees and do not prepare the student to become a licensed pharmacy practitioner. Pharmacy College Application Service (PharmCAS) In an effort to simplify the application process for prospective student pharmacists and encourage more students to consider pharmacy as a career option, AACP launched the Pharmacy College Application Service in 2003, for students interested in applying to schools and colleges of pharmacy. This centralized service allows applicants to use a single application process to apply to multiple entry-level Doctor of Pharmacy degree programs. PharmCAS benefits AACP member institutions, applicants and the AACP office by facilitating the pharmacy admissions process, student recruitment, and data collection. PharmCAS is a service of AACP and is administered by Liaison International, Inc., an information technology and consulting company. There are 91 pharmacy institutions participating in PharmCAS for 2011 enrollment. PharmCAS is intended for first-year professional pharmacy degree applicants only. High school students, B.S. of Pharmacy degree graduates, and current student pharmacists who wish to transfer to another pharmacy degree program should contact institutions directly for instructions. Applicants who apply through PharmCAS will submit a completed Web-based application comprised of biographical data, post secondary institutions attended, academic course history, work experience, extracurricular activities, and a personal statement. Applicants must also arrange for PharmCAS to receive an official transcript from all U.S. accredited institutions attended, and the required fee. Applicants may log onto the PharmCAS application to edit personal application data as often as desired until the final application is submitted to PharmCAS. It is the applicant s responsibility to read and follow all PharmCAS and institution-specific instructions. PharmCAS will consider an application complete and begin to process it once the following materials are received: Complete PharmCAS application Sealed official transcripts from every U.S. college/university attended Correct PharmCAS application fee PharmCAS also collects the following additional materials, if required by the applicant s designated pharmacy schools: Letters of reference Foreign Transcript Evaluation Report (if required by the school) PCAT, TOEFL, and TSE scores (if required by the school) If an applicant s designated PharmCAS school requires the PCAT, TOEFL and/or TSE; the applicant must request the testing agency to release the test scores directly to PharmCAS.

17 The Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) A few of the 120 colleges of pharmacy require the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Testing Assessment (ACT) for admission. More than two-thirds also require or recommend the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT). Specific admission requirements for each school are listed in tables 9 and 10 on pages The cost of the PCAT exam is $ for online application or $ for paper application. Upcoming test dates are October 16, 2010 and January 22, For information, application deadlines and test dates for the PCAT, contact: Pearson PSE Customer Relations PCAT Bulverde Road San Antonio, TX or Fax: or Monday Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time If you are planning to apply to a PharmCAS participating school for enrollment in fall 2011 AND your designated pharmacy institutions requires the PCAT, request Pearson to release your test scores directly to CODE 104. You do NOT need to send your PCAT scores to PharmCAS schools directly. Financial Assistance The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) does not administer any financial assistance programs. Federal and state grants and scholarships, although widely available, are generally reserved for the most economically disadvantaged students. You should investigate with your college financial advisors your eligibility for federal, state and local programs. Examples of federal financial aid programs include: Pell Grants and Supplemental Education Opportunities Grants federal scholarships available for the neediest undergraduate students. College Work Study Program a combination of federal and local school funds used to pay salaries for students who work on campus. National Direct Student Loan Program a campus-based, low interest bearing loan program for undergraduate students. Federal Family Education Loans loan programs administered by local banking institutions. Health Professions Student Loans loan program for which student pharmacists are eligible. Your college or high school advisors are often the best sources of information about loan, grant and scholarship programs. Additionally, organizations and the colleges themselves may offer financial assistance. You may also find information about financial assistance at www. explorehealthcareers.org. In Summary If you are looking for a challenging and rewarding career within the health professions, consider pharmacy. Be sure that your academic background provides a solid foundation for the pharmacy curriculum, and take the time to investigate the variety of pharmacy programs that are available to you. In addition to the basic issues of tuition, application fees and prerequisites, it might be helpful if you inquire about the following issues as they relate to the various programs: The current accreditation status of the college s professional program(s) The number of faculty members and administrators and student-to-faculty ratio Physical and clinical facilities, library resources, and student support services Admission criteria and policies including limitations on class size Academic standards and progression policies Curricular structure Graduation requirements Available scholarships and other forms of financial aid and the definition of residency status Availability of out-of-classroom learning opportunities Social and cultural activities available The individual school information that follows will provide you with a good start in assessing the different programs. Additionally, the tables on pages will be helpful as you compare many of the factors upon which you might base your decision to apply to specific schools. Once you have decided upon the schools that you would like to attend, contact the admissions officers for more up-to-date and specific information. General Information xvii

The Harrison School of Pharmacy has a unique leadership responsibility: to enhance the education of health professionals; to inform the public about pharmacists and pharmaceutical care; to collaborate in solving health problems in Alabama communities; and to enhance the State s economic development. Curriculum The Auburn Pharm.D. degree program is a four-year course of study which requires completion of the prepharmacy curriculum prior to enrollment. Consistent with accreditation standards and guidelines, the curriculum provides an appropriate balance of coursework in the five following areas: 1) biomedical sciences, 2) pharmaceutical sciences, 3) behavioral, social, and administrative sciences, 4) pharmacy practice, and 5) pharmacy practice experiences. The goal of this curriculum is to prepare graduates who can provide pharmaceutical care and are lifelong learners. To accomplish this, the curriculum involves student pharmacists in continuous patient care which commences at the beginning of the first professional year. Student pharmacists are expected to participate as active self-directed learners in interdisciplinary coursework. The experiential component of the curriculum is taught at various affiliated clinical sites throughout Alabama, and in Georgia and Florida. Auburn s student pharmacists are required to participate in activities beyond course requirements. These activities provide an environment where students can develop the knowledge, attitudes, and values that characterize a professional practitioner. Examples of these activities include: orientation to pharmacy school, professional seminar series, self tutorial reviews, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation certification. Each entering student pharmacist is required to own a notebook computer that meets the School s specifications. 2 Pharmacy School Admission Requirements,

Arik Air has again been acknowledged by the Business and Professional Women in Nigeria (BPW)
Arik Air, Nigeria's largest commercial airline's world class service has again been acknowledged by the Business and Professional Women in Nigeria (BPW). At the opening of its national convention in Lagos on Monday, October 11, 2010, the executive of BPW Nigeria bestowed an Award of Excellence on Arik Air in recognition of the airline's transparent support and contributions to nation building and women empowerment.
Presenting the award to Arik Air's Deputy Executive Vice President, Mr. Chris Ndulue, the President of BPW Nigeria, Mrs. Tinuade Oni-Ihama thanked the airline for its support during the group's trip to the United States of America for the Commission on the Status of Women in February 2010. She stressed that Arik Air has been a great supporter of women cause and that the support for the trip to America was a big lift to the women group.
Receiving the award, Mr. Ndulue thanked the women for their support stressing that the airline has achieved its phenomenal growth with the support from the women. "We have done very little to reciprocate the tremendous support from BPW Nigeria and I want assure you that we will do more in the future".
Mr. Ndulue disclosed that Arik Air as a company is a believer in gender equality and this explains why there are more women than men on the company's staff roll.
"We are always ready to contribute our quota to the development of the nation and I want to assure you that we will be happy to work with you and other group to promote empowerment of women", Mr. Ndulue stated.
The Nigerian Federation of Business and Professional Women is an affiliate of the International Federation of Business and Professional Women with membership in over 85 countries around the world. It has consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOG) and participatory status with the Council of Europe.
Arik Air is West Africa's leading commercial airline. It now operates a fleet of 26 state-of-the art regional, medium haul and long haul aircraft. The airline currently serves 22 airports across Nigeria as well as Accra (Ghana), Banjul (Gambia), Cotonou (Benin), Dakar (Senegal), Freetown (Sierra Leone), Monrovia (Liberia), London Heathrow (UK), Johannesburg (South Africa) and New York JFK (USA).
The airline currently operates over 150 flights daily from its hubs in Lagos and Abuja.

"You're awfully quiet today." Her comment echoes throughout my head. "I'm just trying to concentrate." I replied lifelessly. I couldn't get any sleep last night. My head hurt, and my fingers are blistered from holding the damn guns wrong. "You're not hitting any targets today." Sheryln noted. "Something on your mind?" I nibbled my bottom lip for a second. "Sort of. It's not important." I tried to shake it off like it was nothing. This was a bad subject. "Tell me." My mentor sat down and looked at me intently. "Let it off your mind."
Well, what's the harm in telling the truth? I'll get nowhere by lying.
"Well, I herd this rumor that the top 16 players have this power that cheats them into being powerful." I muttered. I peeked at her, waiting for a reaction. Her shoulders stiffened, her posture frozen, yet her smile still pasted on her face. "And what kind of 'power' is it?" she asked me. I shrugged. "They said that a red cursor-like light flashes in your eyes when you aim and hit a target." Sheryln breathed a sigh. Of relief? Of defeat? I couldn't be sure. She took her own guns and aimed at the target. "Look at my eyes." I stared. She shot once, the target smashes into pieces, and she lowers the weapon. "Well?" she smiled. It was my turn to sigh (in relief). "No red flash." I grinned, the weight that has been on my shoulders lifted and I felt one hundred times better. "I shouldn't have worried myself." I smiled, chipper once again. "Thanks, I knew I shouldn't have doubted you!" I stepped up and pulled myself together. "I'm going to get a drink for both of us, so I'll be right back."
"....Stop hiding, I can hear your breathing." Sheryln spoke out to the seemlingly empty stadium. A figure stepped out, no doubt Perception, snickering. "Smooth lies." she said, flipping her cascading blond hair. "I had to." defended Sheryln. "What am I supposed to do, tell the truth and break her heart?" The blond woman picked up a revolver and played around with it. "That's a start. You gotta stop associating with others." She set the gun down and started out the door. "You do realize that one day she's going to find out sooner or later, right?" Sheryln shrugged. She knew, but now wasn't the time. The kid was only just a newbie...
"By the way, isn't it around time to change your contacts?"
Perception's voice cut through her thoughts.
"Oh. Right." Sherlyn blinked a little, leaned over and smoothly, her contacts fell out on her palm. After all, they were just a cover-up. "I wonder who started that stupid rumor. Anyway, change it for me?" she asked. "You wish. Feeegggggggg." Perception stuck out her tongue. "I'm not your personal servant." "Funny how I'm the one being called fag." The brunette threw her contact case at her. "'O-rly? I don't know what you're talking about. Feeeeegggg." The other female caught the case easily and skipped away. "Dip." Sheryln muttered under her breath.
Here I was, holding two cans of peach juice, heavily breathing.
What... what the hell? I didn't just hear that... did I?
But I did... and oh god, what...
So is the rumor true or not? By the sounds of it, it's totally true.
*flips the bird at Perc*
yes, its your fault that i'm writing this.

Koba drama was written in 1958-59 by Raymond Williams. It was published in the 1966 edition of Modern Tragedy. The 1979 edition of Modern Tragedy does not include it. The play involves fictitious characters, but parallels the life of Joseph Stalin. Characters include Peter, Max and George, along with Joseph - later Koba - and Jordan, based on Vladimir Lenin. It takes a mixed view of the Stalin-character: Raymond Williams's later thoughts on the play and the wider question of the Soviet Union can be found in Politics and Letters; Part V, Chapter 3.

Job Hunting: Insecurity, Rejection, Self-Doubt and a cry for feedback
4 comments:
That outfit looks GREAT! I'm so happy for you that you're getting expressions of interest... I LOVE the attitude you have about finding the RIGHT job... Thanks for the advice. I started feeling sad because I've been job hunting and getting some interviews, but no job... I fight the rejection too... You've inspired me to keep looking for the RIGHT job and to continue to be true to myself. Merci! And good luck with the job hunt - I'm hoping to be reading you've found the right job soon!ReplyDelete
It's so hard to know what the culture and dress code of a company will be prior to the interview, short of setting up a stakeout by the front door! But that looks VERY appropriate for a variety of venues, and if you're comfortable with what you're wearing, you're going to put your best foot forward (so to speak) and do better in the interviews.ReplyDelete
Good luck to you, and I know the right thing will come along.
Job hunting sucks! There's just no other way to describe it! I've been looking for a while and I've responded to over 250 job postings and I've had less that 10 interviews with no job offers. I'm starting to feel an insecurity that's developing into depression. If I don't find something in my field soon I'm in serious trouble. I'm starting to think flipping hamburgers is in my future.ReplyDelete
You are sounding positive, and I hope something turns up for you soon.
I think you are hitting the correct balance in a job-hunting wardrobe. Even if jeans are daily wear at a company, I don't think they're interview standard.ReplyDelete
I think there are instances where a jacket could be replaced by a cardigan, etc., but I don't think we've hit the stage where jeans are acceptable for a "professional" interview.

Should be mandatory at every SEC stadium.
Greatest ever, skip to 1:20
I've seen every episode of squidbillies and ATHF, know most of the ATHF dialogue by heart lol.
That was my ringtone for a solid two weeks.
Really, I don't see it.
You hear that Stormy?
Honestly, I gotta say meh.
I would prefer nfl stadiums to be more like college ones. Massive spartan environments with tons of tradition and history. Can you imagine the outcry if they tried to demolish neyland? The big house? The horseshoe?
If you need a sushi bar and a vibrating chair to watch football, you are a tool, and should stay away. Is rather see a stadium that a man could take his family to and not need a second mortgage to do it.
Oh, and hope long before bud starts making noise about a new stadium for the Titans?
I'd say at least another 10 years before anyone even mentions the Titans needing a new stadium.
I actually hear a lot of complaints regarding our stadium. I don't feel it is the stadium so much itself as just the atmosphere needs improving.
It's not just the team that needs an identity. The stadium entertainment needs focus. They really need to roll with the Titans theme.
A titan mascot would help. To go along with T-Rac.
No, the raccoon is Tennessee.
There can be no other.
I wish he looked more like this
Instead of like a raccoon with Down's syndrome.

|Reviews for Taking a Break From it All
| ivywatcher chapter 1 . 3/14/2007
Drunk Giles is hard to get right, but this is about as close as I've ever seen it. This had a nice mix of angst, Giles silliness and well-deserved bitterness that made it a fun thing to read. It was nice to see Buffy mostly back to herself, too. All in all, a very good post-show fic with good characterization and a really cut ending.
| banduraqueen chapter 1 . 12/31/2006
That was very nice, and I like the funny little twist it ended on. I like how you take time to really set the scene. And you write the characters well, and keep them in-voice.
Personally, I think B/G stories work best when a bit more time is spent developing their relationship in the romatic direction (ie. it takes a few days instead of a few hours) and also if they both have conflicted feelings and issues regarding such a development. But your story still works well despite the short time-frame. Partly because you have Giles get drunk. I really don't like B/G fic in which Giles makes the first move when he's stone-cold sober, because I don't think he'd ever, ever do that. So drunk-Giles is good for B/G fic.
B/G is my favourite BtVS ship, but I think it's probably the hardest het ship to write and keep both parties in character, there's not many authors who bother to keep them in character. But you do. Yay.

Shanahan resigns as Public Safety Secretary
RALEIGH, NC (WWAY) — Kieran Shanahan is stepping down as Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Public Safety. In a news release, the governor's office says the resignation is effective Wednesday.
"I have been honored to serve the governor and this great state and to have been a part of a great cabinet team," Shanahan said in the release. "I am leaving the department stronger than when I took over in January."
Yesterday, Gov. Pat McCrory accepted Shanahan's resignation. Shanahan is resigning to concentrate on his law firm, other business obligations and to support his wife in her new capacity as Admiral in the US Navy, the governor's office said.
"The department is stronger now than when Kieran started, and we appreciate his service," Gov. McCrory said in a statement. "I will continue to value Kieran's friendship. He has been an important part of the team. I clearly understand his decision and appreciate the priorities he needs to focus on. I would also like to congratulate Tina Shanahan on her recent promotion to Admiral in the US Navy. The US Navy's gain is North Carolina's loss. It is a well-deserved promotion and I congratulate her and wish the Shanahan family well."
DPS will be managed by the executive team of Deputy Secretaries until the new secretary is named.

No Fiction Today, But…
April 14, 2012
I'd like to start something new here, something irregular, and discuss something a few of you may know that I'm rather passionate about. In short, I adore beer. Beer's historical importance cannot be overstated, its social value cannot be properly quantified, and its variety cannot be defined. To that end, I explore as many forms of beer as I can with an interest in the unique, the obscure, the delicious, and the intriguing.
Yesterday, with my girlfriend, I sought out such an experience and I was bitterly disappointed.
There's a brewery a fair bit of a drive from my stomping grounds in Orange County called I&I Brewing. They're a small brewery in an industrial park with a tiny taproom. When we went in, they had perhaps ten styles on offer, including 3 different India Pale Ales (A standard IPA, an Imperial IPA, and a Double IPA). We decided to sample five of the beers (The Imperial IPA, a Strong Ale, a Tea Pale Ale, a Peach Wheat Ale, and a Cherry Stout) and got one of their (rather attractive) glasses. Mostly because plastic makes beer taste funny and that's the alternative if you don't purchase one of their glasses in their taproom.
Before I go any further, there's one thing I do want to say about the brewery is that they're not bad. They succeed in making the base beer styles they set out for, but I'll get into the general problems with the beers as we go further. They do show potential, though, to be at least a solid addition to the microbrew cosmos. I don't, however, forsee anything amazing coming from them.
The first beer we tried was the Peach Wheat Ale. I feel like it's bad for me to really get into the flavors in this beer, the peach elements, or the wheat elements since the beer was thoroughly skunked. From the brewery. In their taproom. It was more than disappointing. But in the interests of fairness, I tried not to let this color my impressions of the other beers.
Next we tried the Pekoe Tea Pale Ale. I'm sure a few of my readers will note that Pekoe is not a type of tea, but a size of tea-leaf in the strange East India Company's tea measuring system. All I could tell from the name was that it was a black tea of some kind, and the flavor of the beer didn't help at all. There could have been some herbal elements, or flowery elements, that come from jasmine teas or darjeeling teas but it was drowned out by the saminess of the ale. There was a distinct Miller-esque edge to the beer, as if it were brewed with rice or too much adjunct, and it wasn't nearly hoppy enough. A good Pale Ale is hoppy, even just a bit, and in California it's surprising to not find any hops in a local Pale Ale (we are the home of Stone Brewery and Sierra Nevada, neither of which shy away from hopping anything). All in all I was disappointed. It wasn't even a good pale ale, regardless of the lack of tea flavor.
Next we sampled the Cherry Stout. The nose was rather nice, thick and chocolaty with a heavy current of maltiness. A solid stout, in other words. When we tasted it, it was a stout. A decent stout. A successful stout. However, it wasn't a Cherry stout. There were no cherry elements, either red or black, and there was no lingering flavor to the beer at all. Again, there was a bit of a Miller quality to the beer with an almost obscenely clean finish. It wasn't that interesting, and it wasn't that inspiring.
Next we sampled the Imperial IPA, which like the stout was a success at the basic style. It was, in fact, an Imperial IPA with hints of hops and an overarching malt flavor. It didn't do anything interesting, though, and the hops weren't strong enough to really meld with the maltiness. The malts were the entire flavor, for the most part, and there wasn't a floral finish or a bitter finish to it at all. Again, like the stout, it had an extremely clean finish. While many may enjoy the sudden ending of the flavor, part of the enjoyment for richly flavored beers for me is the lingering taste, the after taste, and the way that flavors can shift across the palate after swallowing. None of these beers had that.
The last beer we tried was the Strong Ale. Again, they succeeded at the Beer 101 elements here. It was a strong ale, that's indisputable. However, it wasn't a good strong ale, it wasn't an interesting strong ale, and it suffered from the lack of palate fascination. There were no lingering flavors for the most part and it was like drinking almost a pure malt, no texture or interest in the flavor. It also had a bit of the flavor of adjunct to it, a bit too much of the flat, bland flavor that comes with a lack of spicing. Overall, disappointing.
At the very least, they can brew beer and they succeed at the base elements. They have potential to get better if they get a little more adventurous and hone their styles a little more. If they were asking me, I'd say cut down the beers to just five or six and really perfect them before branching out. Explore methods to do more with palate tastes, especially upper and lower palate differences and lingering flavors after swallowing.
I&I feels like a homebrewer that's just turned into a business. This isn't bad, and it's an important part of microbrewing, but they're really not ready for the big show yet. I wish them the best of luck and hope that, in a few years, I can try them again and be impressed with at least one beer.
