25 years ago: Tuxedos, spotlights and debut of Charlotte Hornets
The Charlotte Bobcats will play their home opener Friday, the first Friday of November, against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Charlotte Hornets played their first game 25 years ago on the first Friday of November against the Cavaliers.
Opening night should be special. But Nov. 4, 1988 was more than special. It was legendary. The term is overused, but it applies. You know if you were there.
The Bobcats will become the Hornets next season, a testament to the enormous popularity of the early Hornets teams. Here's a look at the evening the legend began.
No matter which part of Charlotte or the Carolinas you embarked from, spotlights filled the sky and directed you to Tyvola Road, Paul Buck Boulevard and Charlotte Coliseum. Few fans had been in the building; it opened three months earlier.
The Hornets asked people at courtside – team officials, the stats crew and even the media – to wear tuxedos. Most did. The media rented theirs.
This wasn't a game. This was a gala.
George Shinn was the team's primary owner. Felix Sabates, the late Cy Bahakal and Rick Hendrick also owned a piece.
Says Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports: "We were pulling up to the Coliseum. We parked in back, where the players did. There was this electricity in the air, all these TV trucks behind the building and players on the court. And I thought: 'I can't believe we got an NBA team.' Charlotte was smaller then. It was not a banking town. It was like you knew everybody. It's hard to explain. I knew we were getting an NBA team. But until you walked in, it didn't seem real."
Fans who supported North Carolina and South Carolina, N.C. State and Clemson, Duke, Charlotte, East Carolina, Queens, Johnson C. Smith and Davidson sat down and, likely for the first time, cheered for the same team.
Says Sabates, who owns part of a NASCAR team and a piece of the Bobcats: "I saw people the first night I never saw at a Hornets game again. They didn't come for basketball. They came for Charlotte. It was Charlotte's night to shine.
"They called all of us to the floor before the game. It hit me then, during all the applause. It was probably one of the best days in my life. In a small way I was part of something big."
The governors of North and South Carolina were in the crowd, as was NBA Commissioner David Stern. Stern believed the Hornets would have to block off the upper deck. Opening night, new city – the league couldn't allow its image to be sullied by television cameras focusing on empty seats.
Spencer Stolpen provided the Hornets' legal counsel and later became the team's president.
Was Stern kidding about blocking out the upper deck?
Says Stolpen: "He wasn't kidding. Charlotte had a population of 800,000 then. It was a show no one had put on before. It was a big thing."
Says Sabates: "We were expecting maybe 14,000 people. We got 23,000."
To accommodate the crowd, the tuxedo-clad owners went to work. Sabates was charged with leading sponsors into the building and visiting the eight skyboxes to make sure everybody had what they needed.
The skyboxes did. But some concessions ran out of hot dogs and beer.
Charlotte didn't sell out another game for seven weeks until Michael Jordan, now the Bobcats' owner, and the Chicago Bulls played the Hornets.
The Cavaliers had no idea what to expect because they'd had no experience with expansion. Point guard Mark Price, who would score 13 points and add 10 assists for Cleveland, is now a Bobcats assistant coach.
Says Price: "I can't say I've ever experienced anything like it. We were up by almost 40 late in the game and every time they scored they got a standing ovation."
The Cavaliers won 133-93. The victory was the first of 58 for Cleveland. Imagine the reaction if the Hornets had won.
Sabates sat in the front row on one side of the court and Hendrick directly across from him on the other. Sabates pulled a money clip from his pocket and held it in the air. Hendrick understood. Their investment might be all right.
After the game, fans lingered. They gathered in the concourse, looking for friends and talking about what they'd seen.
An NBA team plays 41 home games. Stolpen walked out of the building and thought, "How do we do this 40 more times?"
Shinn and his party drove to the Ranch House. The restaurant opened in 1951 and their specialties were steak and a shrimp cocktail with sauce so spicy diners would take a bite, wince, and take another bite. Shinn was a regular. The restaurant, which closed in 2011, closed on Fridays at 11 p.m. But it stayed open and held a back room for Shinn.
Everybody went somewhere. Our first major league team met our town, and we hit it off beautifully. Charlotte was now in the same league as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, and the Hornets proved it.
Says Hendrick: "It was like we'd arrived."

For NFL teams still on the hunt for free-agent pass-rushing help, John Abraham sits out there as the best of the bunch.
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that the defensive end will visit the Arizona Cardinals, per a league source. Abraham was released by the Falcons in March after seven productive seasons in Atlanta, but he's bound to find work as training-camp injuries mount.
Abraham, 35, drew open-market interest from the New England Patriots, Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks, among others, this spring, but he reportedly sought a paycheck that teams weren't willing to float for an edge rusher who's on the wrong side of 30.
The Cardinals make some sense, but Abraham would be operating out of a 3-4 front in Arizona after spending years as the anchor of a four-man line with the Falcons.
The Cardinals could use a lift at outside linebacker, where Sam Acho and Lorenzo Alexander have struggled to rush the quarterback. With Jasper Brinkley and Daryl Washington (following his suspension) on the inside, there's a pool of talent in the desert. Abraham would help.

Green buildings need green transportation, right? by Laura Roberts, Telegraph, August 2010 - A car that runs on methane gas produced by human waste has been launched and its makers claim drivers cannot tell the difference. The Bio-Bug has been converted by a team of British engineers to be powered by biogas, which is produced from human waste at sewage works across the country. They believe the car is a viable alternative to electric vehicles. Excrement flushed down the lavatories of just 70 homes is enough to power the car for 10,000 miles - the equivalent of one average motoring year. This conversion technology has been used in the past but the Bio-Bug is Britain's first car to run on methane gas without its performance being reduced. It can power a conventional two litre VW Beetle convertible to 114mph. Mohammed Saddiq, of sustainable energy firm GENeco, which developed the prototype, claimed that drivers "won't know the difference". He said: "Previously the gas hasn't been clean enough to fuel motor vehicles without it affecting performance. "However, through using the latest technology our Bio-Bug drives like any conventional car and what's more it uses sustainable fuel."If you were to drive the car you wouldn't know it was powered by biogas as it performs just like any conventional car. It is probably the most sustainable car around."
The Bio-Bug is a conventional 2 litre VW Beetle convertible, which has been modified to run on both conventional fuel and compressed methane gas. The car is started using unleaded petrol but automatically switches to methane when the engine is "up to temperature". If the methane tank runs out the Bio-Bug reverts back to petrol. Around 18 million cubic metres of biogas is produced from human waste every year at Wessex Water's sewage treatment works in Avonmouth, Bristol.
The gas is generated through anaerobic digestion - where bugs which are starved of oxygen break down biodegradable material to produce methane. However, before the gas can be used to power vehicles it must undergo "biogas upgrading" where carbon dioxide is removed to improve performance.
The Bio-Bug does 5.3 miles per cubic metre of biogas, which means that just one sewage works could power 95,400,000 miles per year saving 19,000 tonnes of CO2. Lord Rupert Redesdale, chairman of The Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Association, believes that the Bio-Bug could prove to be the future of green motoring. He said: "This is a very exciting and forward-thinking project demonstrating the myriad benefits of anaerobic digestion. "Biomethane cars could be just as important as electric cars, and the water regulator Ofwat should promote the generation of as much biogas as possible through sewage works in the fight against climate change."
GENeco, a sustainable energy company owned by Wessex Water, plans to convert its fleet of vehicles if the Bio-Bug trial proves to be successful. The Bio-Bug emits three tonnes of carbon dioxide in an average year whilst a conventional vehicle emits 3.5 tonnes. However, the Bio-Bug is carbon neutral because all of its CO2 would have been released into the atmosphere anyway in the form of methane gas.
Conventional vehicles use fossil fuels, a non-renewable, finite source of energy, and the CO2 they emit would not otherwise have been released into the atmosphere.
Following article by Siobhan Wagner
The Engineer, August 2010
Human waste powers VW Beetle
A Volkswagen Beetle that runs on methane produced from human waste in sewage sludge has been unveiled in Bristol.
Bath-based Greenfuel Company converted the 'bug' so it could run on biogas generated at the Bristol sewage treatment works in Avonmouth.
With support from the South West Regional Development Agency, GENeco, a Wessex Water-owned company, imported specialist equipment to purify biomethane in a way that doesn't affect the vehicle performance.
If both tanks were filled up with methane the car would travel for 250 miles
The biogas is enough to power a conventional two-litre VW Beetle convertible to 114mph.
According to GENeco, waste flushed down the toilets of just 70 homes in Bristol is enough to power the 'Bio-Bug' for a year, based on an annual mileage of 10,000 miles.
Countries including India and China use compressed natural gas (CNG) to power vehicles and a number of companies in the UK are now using CNG mainly to fuel buses and commercial vehicles. In Sweden, more than 11,500 vehicles already run on biomethane produced from sewage plants.
But using biogas from sewage sludge is yet to take off in the UK despite a significant amount being produced everyday at sewage plants around the country.
In order to produce methane from sewage, it first must be treated with anaerobic digestion, a process in which microorganisms - in the absence of oxygen - break down biodegradable material to produce methane.
In an extra step to purify the methane, the GENeco engineers used specialist equipment to strip carbon dioxide from the biogas.
The methane is stored in two pressurised storage tanks in the boot of the Bio-Bug vehicle. If both tanks were filled up with methane the car would be able to travel for 250 miles.
Ingram Legge, director at Greenfuel Company, which converted the car, said filling it up with methane is fairly simple. 'The storage tanks are pressurised to about 200 bar and you connect the vehicle up and it basically equalises pressure so the tanks in the vehicle are 200 bar with methane in them,' he explained. 'There's no pump in effect, which is quite clever.'
The vehicle still depends on petrol but only for a moment after starting the engine. Once the engine's temperature reaches 30ºC, the petrol injectors shut down and the methane ones open up. If methane runs out, the car will switch back to running on petrol.
While the Bio-Bug is being touted as environmentally friendly, Legge acknowledged that does not mean the vehicle produces no emissions. 'It's producing CO2 out the tailpipe but it's important to know where that CO2 is coming from,' he said. 'Of course it's not coming from yesterday's CO2 buried in the ground as oil, it's today's CO2 from waste. So it's very environmentally friendly.'
Mohammed Saddiq, GENeco's general manager, said he was confident that methane from sewage sludge could be used as an alternative energy source and was an innovative way of powering company vehicles.
He added: 'Our site at Avonmouth has been producing biogas for many years, which we use to generate electricity to power the site and export to the National Grid.
'With surplus gas available, we wanted to put it to good use in a sustainable and efficient way.
'We decided to power a vehicle on the gas offering a sustainable alternative to using fossil fuels that we so heavily rely on in the UK.
'If you were to drive the car, you wouldn't know it was powered by biogas as it performs just like any conventional car. It is probably the most sustainable car around.'

Maker Bench is Where Makers go to Make Stuff
For all of my adult life, I've been a software engineer. I make bits. You can't really touch the bits I make which makes it hard to explain what I make to non-software people like my mom. I have always wanted to also make, ummm, stuff. Stuff is touchable. Bits are not. Stuff are easier to explain than software.
Ideally, I'd like to make bits and stuff that work together. I think that's why I've always admired Apple as a company. They make stuff and they make bits. It's very rare for companies to do that. Google and Microsoft for the most part just make bits. So does my company, Axosoft. There's nothing wrong with that, I'm just saying I relate to Google and Microsoft more than I relate to Apple, which is probably why Apple has a more mystic awe for me. Bits, I know. Stuff, not so much. Bits and stuff, I've never done. It's interesting how companies generally do one or the other, almost never do they do both.
Anyway, I'm going off track here, except I'm not. A lot of software engineers feel exactly the same as I do. In fact that was one of the driving forces behind why David Uhlman started Maker Bench with his friend Jordan Bendor. David and Jordan wanted to create a place where people could make stuff. All kinds of stuff. Wood working, jewelry, sewing, metal-working, electronics and everything in between.
David (left) and Jordan founders of Maker Bench in Tempe AZ
I love what Dave and Jordan are doing. Their idea is very disruptive. They've built a place that's open to anyone to go to and make stuff. They provide the tools and even help implement the ideas. For frequent visitors they have very affordable membership programs to provide access to all the tools and the shop 24/7. More importantly, they're building a community of people who also want to make stuff. They've put together classes for using a laser cutter, welding, making jewelry or even making your own mini CNC machine. That's very cool stuff!
I visited Maker Bench because my 6-year old son is very much into making stuff with Legos and he's ready to start building more advanced things. On our visit to Maker Bench he got his first soldering lesson by building a battery operated LED pin. Because he assembled and soldered it together himself, he absolutely loves that pin and he learned how to solder. I'm very jelous! He just loved the idea of melting metals together and who wouldn't? Melting metal is just a cool thing to do. It's worth at least a few lines of code.
During my visit to Maker Bench, I also learned about an open-source hardware device known as Arduino. WOW! Basically, the Arduino is a little 32-bit C-Programmable micro controller that costs $32.95. They sell them at Maker Bench and they also stock the Arduino Cookbook by Michael Margolis (published by O'Reily) which has hundreds of little projects that can be done with the Aruino device. The Arduino devices are taking the hardware prototyping world by storm. They've basically become cheap enough that people are making simple projects for personal use. At about $33 per device, it's also cheap enough to experiment with low-quantity commercial applications. Rather than having to build 10,000 devices to make hardware be cheap enough, you can build it from an Arduino board and it's already cheap.
The Arduino is an exciting and inspiring little device. After learning about this whole new world, we've decide to open up AZ Disruptor startup submissions to allow for software/hardware startups. That means we will be open to accept software startups that will make their products that much more attractive using a low-cost hardware add-on. Companies like Square are a great example of that.
So if you've ever wanted to make stuff, stop by the Maker Bench in Tempe. I love their motto: Less talking and more making. So perfect!
Great job to Dave and Jordan.

Recently as I conducted my daily online search for the latest research and news about aging, one story caused me to stop and reflect: A group called The Coalition to Extend Life was lobbying for funding to help attain physical immortality.
On any other day, I likely would have blown off this story as a bunch of nut cases. However, that day I had also read that the South Korean government was spending $29 million to research "how to improve cardiovascular fitness, prevent diabetes and other aging-related diseases and prevent oxidation-reduction reaction in cells, the main cause of aging," according to the International Herald Tribune.
A story by HealthDay News also caught my attention. "Experts say the post-World War II generation is changing the very definition of 'old' age," the article said. "For many, 60 is not only the new 50 — it's the new 45."
Marketers are certainly jumping on the bandwagon. We need look no further than the demand that Chanel has created for Sublimage, 1.7-ounces of regenerating cream that sells for $350. Some anti-aging fanatics are waiting months to buy the product. An alternative for youth-seeking individuals? Facial brightening, which promises to return older faces to the pinkish hue of their youth.
Of course, to stay young — or at least to be cosmetically restored — takes money. Does this mean we must work longer to pay for these products?
Financial management is what it's all about, according to Genworth Financial's advertising campaign, which features a pilot, trumpeter, water skier, columnist and other individuals 100 years of age or older enjoying active lifestyles.
"Your elder years can be much longer than you might think," says Buzz Richmond, Genworth's senior vice president for brand marketing.
Richmond's comment made me wonder: Will we be real people in the future, or will we be reengineered like Steve Austin in the 1970s television series "The Six Million Dollar Man"? It sounds far-fetched, doesn't it? Not really.
Much of the technology needed to increase our longevity is already available, and it could be used soon in fitness facilities.
For example, Mr. Smith and Ms. Jones arrive at your club and fill out a form rating their health and fitness objectives in order of importance. Your staff member extracts DNA from each individual by swabbing the inside of their cheeks and places it in a microarray chip.
The next step in this scenario is not yet available but will likely happen in the future. Within minutes the genome of these individuals is transferred to a minicomputer. The machine examines their genes and how they relate to the ranked items on the list (e.g., lose body fat, reduce blood pressure, increase muscle mass, lower cholesterol). A program automatically matches these gene profiles (genotypes) with the most important objectives chosen by the two individuals and lists the specific interventions shown through research as best matches for producing these changes.
So if both have hypertension but Smith's genotype does not respond to aerobic exercise training and Jones' does, then the fitness director might prescribe exercise to both individuals, but he or she might tell Smith to see his physician for medication to treat his hypertension. On the other hand, the director might help Jones stabilize her blood pressure through regular aerobic exercise and strength training.
For those of us in the exercise business, the future is much closer than we think. Are we ready to adapt to these changes, especially for a market willing to pay $350 for less than two ounces of cream that claims regenerating abilities? Imagine what people might pay for something that actually makes them feel and look more youthful. Only the future will tell.
Colin Milner is chief executive officer of the International Council on Active Aging™. An award-winning writer, Milner has authored more than 100 articles on aging-related issues. He can be reached at email@example.com.

Amitabh Bachchan to play himself in Bombay Talkies?
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan reportedly plays himself in Anurag Kashyap's short story in Bombay Talkies.bollywood Updated: Apr 24, 2013 15:22 IST
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan reportedly plays himself in Anurag Kashyap's short story in Bombay Talkies.
A bouquet of four short stories, Bombay Talkies has contributions by four directors -- Kashyap, Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar and Dibakar Banerjee. An ode to 100 years of cinema, the film is up for a May 3 release.
The 70-year-old plays a cameo in Kashyap's film and as part of the role, he will meet an ardent fan who comes to visit him from his home town Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh.
It is also said that Kashyap's short story will have a special song dedicated to the veteran actor. It will be released Sunday outside Big B's residence Prateeksha in Juhu, said a statement.
"Bachchan will play a cameo in the film. There is a surprise in store for him where a flash mob of 60 Bachchans (artistes dressed and masked like Bachchan) will launch the song in front of his home. Big B has a tradition of having fans gathering outside his house on Sunday evenings in the hope of catching a glimpse of the veteran," said a source.

Gouffran strike secures victory
Newcastle's steady improvement this season continued as Yoan Gouffran's strike earned them a 2-1 win at Aston Villa.
The Magpies were ahead in the 18th minute when poor Villa defending allowed Hatem Ben Arfa the chance to convert.
The hosts levelled through Christian Benteke's header in the 67th minute, but Newcastle went back in front in the 73rd when Brad Guzan palmed away the impressive Ben Arfa's shot and substitute Gouffran pounced.
There has been plenty of talk about doom and gloom around Newcastle after a summer that only yielded one signing in loan capture Loic Remy, who made his first start for the club here.
But since they lost their first Barclays Premier League game of the campaign 4-0 against Manchester City, the three other top-flight fixtures for Alan Pardew's men this term have seen them draw 0-0 with West Ham, beat Fulham 1-0 and then record this victory over Villa.
Villa, on the other hand, began the season with a 3-1 win at Arsenal, but have now lost three league matches in a row.
A good tackle from Mathieu Debuchy took the ball away from Gabriel Agbonlahor in the box early on, and while each side did their best to probe in the opening exchanges, neither had much joy in finding a way through.
That changed just after the quarter-hour mark when slack Villa play allowed Newcastle to snatch the lead.
Karim El Ahmadi was hustled into losing possession and the ball was picked up on the left by Remy, who managed to evade Matthew Lowton and fashion a cut-back into the danger zone.
There were several Villa players in the box but the pass came via Papiss Cisse to Ben Arfa, and the France midfielder had little trouble finishing from close range.
Villa responded in a positive manner, with Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa having to do well to halt Benteke's progress and Andreas Weimann seeing his shot in the area blocked by Fabricio Coloccini.
The hosts then suffered another setback, with Jores Okore, who had injured himself in a challenge with Remy, having to come off, Ciaran Clark coming on in his place.
Fabian Delph was then shown a yellow card for scything down Ben Arfa.
Yohan Cabaye - back in the Newcastle starting XI after his proposed move to Arsenal did not materialise - and Remy tried their luck on the Villa goal with ambitious efforts that went well off-target.
Then, with four minutes of normal time remaining before the interval, Villa passed up a good-looking opportunity to level as Tim Krul failed to clear a cross with an attempted punch and the stray ball was struck into the side-netting by Clark.
Weimann dragged a shot wide soon after, before Cabaye cracked one across the face of the Villa goal just prior to the break.
Villa started the second half brightly and Antonio Luna made a bizarre decision in a useful position, electing to cross and seeing the ball cleared away when he might have shot.
Agbonlahor was then even more wasteful, somehow shooting wide right in front of goal from Weimann's cross when it seemed easier to score.
Newcastle looked to step things up and Guzan turned a Ben Arfa strike behind for a corner, from which Debuchy then fired wide.
Villa then sent on transfer deadline day signing Libor Kozak for his debut and, within seconds, they equalised.
A corner was swung in by Ashley Westwood from the right and Krul tried to claim it, but Benteke rose highest of everyone in the box to crash home a header, his fifth goal of the season in all competitions.
Villa were on level terms for just six minutes as Ben Arfa proved a thorn in their side once again, dancing forward and drilling a shot that Guzan could only parry.
Gouffran, who had come on for Remy, was on hand and had the space to bury the loose ball.
Cisse headed wide moments later before another substitute, Cheick Tiote, sent a shot at Guzan.
At the other end, Delph lashed the ball the wrong side of the post and Villa were unable to muster much more from there.

Delaware Park News & Notes
Nicole H could be peaking just in time for Endine Stakes
Wilmington, Del., October 11, 2012 —Nicole H has been winless in her last seven outings, but the classy daughter of Mr. Greeley may be peaking just in time for the $100,000 Endine Stakes at Delaware Park this Saturday. The six-furlong sprint for fillies and mares, named after the 1958 and 1959 Delaware Handicap winner, has attracted a field of nine.
Trainer Michael Hushion has also entered Roman Treasure. The 4-year-old daughter of Roman Ruler won her 2012 debut by two lengths in the six-furlong $85,000 Chaldea Stakes at Belmont Park on July 8. Since then, the Kentucky-bred finished sixth in the Grade II Honorable Miss at Saratoga on August 3 and fifth in the Grade II six-and-a-half-furlong Gallant Bloom at Belmont Park on September 22. Last year, she posted a record of four wins and two seconds from 11 starts, with earnings of $184,714. Her career record is five wins and two thirds from 14 starts, with earnings of $243,048.
The horse for the course is Bean Counter Stable's Eve Giselle. The 5-year-old daughter of Five Star Day owns a record of three wins from three starts at Delaware Park, including victories in the Endine and Sweet Sassy Stakes last year. But the Florida-bred conditioned by Tim Ritchey has made only one start this year. After battling for the early lead as the 6-to-5 favorite, she finished fourth, beaten by 2¾-lengths, in a seven-furlong allowance at Laurel Park on September 21. She has a career record of six wins, two seconds and a third from 10 starts, with earnings of $285,620.
Mrs. Fitiani Hay's Winnie Dixie will be making her stake debut after posting three consecutive victories by a combined margin of 9¼ lengths versus allowance competition. In her most recent, the 4-year-old daughter of Dixie Union notched a 1 ½-length score at Monmouth Park on July 20. Previously, the Kentucky-bred conditioned by Kiaran McLaughlin won a six-furlong allowance by 5 ½ lengths at Monmouth Park on June 8. On March 14, she posted a 2 ¼-length triumph in a six-furlong allowance at Aqueduct. She has a career record of four wins, two seconds and a third from eight starts, with earnings of $122,187.

AUBURN UNIVERSITY – Ninety professional students from Auburn University's College of Veterinary Medicine will be awarded degrees during the college's 106th commencement on Tuesday, May 7. The ceremony will begin at 6 p.m. in the Auburn Arena.
In addition, 12 masters degrees in biomedical science will be conferred, and eight professionals will be awarded Ph.D. degrees in biomedical science.
The 90-member class includes 36 students from Alabama; 33 students from the Commonwealth of Kentucky and two from West Virginia under a cooperating agreement with each state through the Southern Regional Education Board; and the remaining 19 at-large students hail from as far away as California, Colorado, Ohio and Texas.
The class is comprised of 63 women and 27 men. During the ceremony, eight students will have their parent or grandparent, who is a veterinarian, complete their hooding.
The commencement address will be given by Dr. John Thomas Vaughan, dean emeritus of Auburn's College of Veterinary Medicine.
"We are very pleased that Dr. Vaughan, who has been associated with this college for more than 60 years, will give the graduation address to the class of 2013," said Dean Calvin Johnson.
Dr. Bill Allen, current president of the Alabama Veterinary Medical Association, will administer the Veterinarian's Oath.
Four alumni of the college who have distinguished themselves professionally will be recognized as the 2013 Wilford S. Bailey Distinguished Alumni. They are Dr. David S. Biller, professor at Kansas State University; Dr. Robert L. Carson, professor at Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine; Dr. Forrest I. Townsend Jr., practicing veterinarian, Ft. Walton Beach, Fla.; and Dr. Calvin R. White, practicing veterinarian, Ada, Okla.
The prestigious award is the highest honor given to an alumnus of the college and is named to honor the late Wilford S. Bailey, who held a 50-year continuous faculty appointment at Auburn, serving in positions ranging from instructor to university president.
A 1942 graduate of the college, Bailey was the first recipient of the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine's Distinguished Alumnus Award. Following his death in 2000, it was named in Dr. Bailey's memory. The Wilford and Kate Bailey Small Animal Teaching Hospital is currently under construction and will be completed in 2014.
To date, the College of Veterinary Medicine has awarded 6,341 degrees and 471 M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.
The professional students have spent the final eight weeks of their path to this four-year medical degree completing preceptorships which are medical apprenticeships in diverse settings. Preceptorship sites include small animal practices, specialty equine practices, military veterinary facilities, and bovine ambulatory programs.

G.P. Practice – what's gone wrong in this countryJanuary 6, 2010 at 1:24 pm | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 1 Comment
Tags: Ask the Doctor, aspirin, chemist, Daily Mail, diagnosis, doctor, Dr Martin Scurr, GP, health funding, Martin Scurr, minor illness, over the counter, pharmacy, public health
As usual, there's something I've been trying and failing to put into words for ages, only to find that someone has done it very elegantly for me already! I'm going to copy it to our local practice manager (who is also a friend.)
I am not a fan of the Daily Mail, but I stumbled across an 'Ask The Doctor' article in their online paper because it was about R.A. Tagged onto the bottom of the article is this, which I'm going to quote in full, because it says everything I've been wanting to say for ages about continuity of care etc. (I'm not sure about the copyright implications here but I'm giving full reference to the original article by Dr Martin Scurr in the Mail Online (Wed Jan 6th), so hopefully it's OK!
By the way… There was recently a conference organised by the manufacturers of over-the-counter medicines. Many of the great and the good attended – shadow health minister Mark Simmonds, and some of the leading lights from the Royal College of GPs.
The theme of the meeting was to change the way the public thinks about minor illness. There is a push to dissuade patients from consulting their doctors for what might seem to be small ailments, and to encourage self-diagnosis and treatment. It's all about saving money.
But the involvement of the hallowed seniors of my profession – in what looks rather like a sales drive for those peddling over-the-counter medicines – has set me thinking.
In medicine, no complaint is defined as minor until it has been thought about, in context, with informed judgment. I was always taught that general practice is about the ongoing observation of someone's health over a lifetime. A lot of apparently disconnected elements might add up to quite a lot.
Yes, I believe in personal responsibility for health – doctors are only guides on a rocky path. But now the leaders in our profession seem to be saying it's time for patients to look after themselves – implying that doctors have created a culture of dependency. It's just not so. The problem with academics and medical politicos is that most of them occupy those lofty positions because they opted out of full-time work at the coal face.
How many patients with acid reflux have Barrett's oesophagus, which can lead to cancer? How many with indigestion have got helicobacter infection, which can lead to stomach cancer? And yet they are expected to go to the chemist. We are supposed to be entering a new decade, not heading back to the last century. We must retain our devotion to patients as guides on that rocky path.

I actually disagree about it being driven by the over-the-counter drug companies. I think it's driven by the fact that there aren't enough GPs to see the patients. Our practice has something like eight GPs for 20,000 registered patients, and although there are some patients registered that they never see (because they're healthy) we have a high elderly population here and the practice is very over-stretched, but there's no more funding available; so the government thinks the answer is to send us all into the chemist for an aspirin.

U.S. cotton is at a crossroads, "and we're all hoping there isn't a train wreck," says Shane Stephens; but "despite all the challenges facing us, I'm optimistic for the future of our industry."
Stephens, vice president of the StaplCoton cooperative at Greenwood, Miss., told members of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association at their summer meeting at Hot Springs, Ark., "We've got a product that's very much in demand — over 120 million bales of cotton will be used in the world this year — and we should be proud of that."
Even though cotton use by U.S. mills moves ever downward, sales into the export market continue to show gains and the lion's share of those sales is Mid-South and Southeast cotton, he says.
But therein lie problems.
"The product we're selling today is for a different market than in the past when we sold primarily to U.S. mills, and it doesn't fit as well for what foreign mills want.
"They're demanding higher quality, and many of them consider our cotton low grade. That hurts my feelings. We've gone from producing bread-and-butter cotton to what our overseas customers say is low grade."
Whereas North American mills have 80 percent rotary spinning equipment and only 20 percent ring spinning, the situation is reversed in foreign mills, Stephens says. "They're 80 percent ring spinning, only 20 percent rotary. They aren't going to change their equipment from ring spinning to rotary, so we're going to have to adjust our product to meet their demands."
In the mid-1990s, he says, ginners were advised to gin for four-leaf cotton. "Now, the mills would rather you gin for three-leaf. The market is sending a signal that it wants less leaf. Your response has been, 'Well, pay me for it.' And the market is now adjusting and beginning to pay for it."
Some concerns about cotton going into the export market, Stephens says:
Packaging and contamination: "If a customer gets a bad U.S. bale, it will influence his view of the entire U.S. crop. At least one merchant considers a bale not saleable if it has just one drop of hydraulic oil on it. I realize the pressures you're under to keep your gins running, but if you've got machinery leaking hydraulic oil, you're risking all that cotton being unmarketable."
Stackable bales: "If a mill can't stack the bales they buy, they will complain. Ginners are the only ones who can turn out stackable bales, and it's to your advantage to be sure your bales conform to specs."
Excess bale moisture: "Mills are doing more monitoring and testing for moisture damage. There are some real problems. They read all the reports and they know what's going on, so you need to be on the lookout to reduce these problems."
Stickiness and microdust: "These are also problems that can influence mills' view of U.S. cotton quality."
The U.S. is "the best, or maybe second best behind Australia, in limiting bale contamination," Stephens says. "American ginners are doing an excellent job on this. But the rest of the world is catching up to us, and we're going to have to do everything we possibly can to keep our cotton contaminant-free."

Over the course of two nights, fans gathered to watch old junker cars — decorated with spray paint and driven with pride — continuously smash into each other until just one vehicle was still running. The event featured separate competitions for 4-cylinder, 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder engines, as well as a minivan round and a pick-up truck round. Here, sports reporter Andy Kirkaldy gives a rundown of the popular event.

Ok, ok I admit it. I wanted this product badly because there's a sleepy bear on the front.
SANA is a Japanese brand with some real gems in its collection.
This is one of them – oh yes.
I've tried quite a few random dark circle goods from Japan; and I disliked most of them. A good undereye concealer should be brightening but ot racooney, moisturizing and not drying, not cakey, not fake looking, and doesn't sink into lines. Yeah, that's all.
So anyway, the bear. Isn't it cute?
This is a pale yellow:
The texture of this stuff is GORGEOUS! Its a lightweight yet opaque cream that is moisturizing but very brightening. I wasn't expecting that – I thought it would be a medium textured cream, like SANA's pore putty but this is perfect, perfect, perfect for under the eyes.
You place 3 dots under the eyes and blend – it is easy to blend harsh lines away too. Gorgeous!
Price is approx £7. I love this product, recommend it very much – and there's a cute bear on it!
