UTEP Provost Named to Federal National Advisory Council The U.S. Department of Health and Human Serv- ices Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has named UTEP Provost Junius Gonzales, M.D., to the National Ad- visory Council for The Substance Abuse and Men- tal Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). His term begins Dec. 1 and runs through Nov. 30, 2017.

“I am truly honored to have been selected for this important national council and will work hard to apply my expertise to its mission, near and dear to my heart, of improving treatment of substance abuse and mental illness and increasing prevention services throughout the country,” Gonzales said.

SAMHSA’s annual budget is nearly $3.5 billion and the agency provides critical leadership for improv- ing care for substance abuse and mental illness – which are public health priorities – especially through its work with all 50 states and territories and support of evidence based practices through its National Registry. The SAMHSA National Advi- sory Council provides advice to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services and SAMHSA is charged with improving the quality and availability of prevention, treatment and reha- bilitative services in order to reduce illness, death, disability and cost to society resulting from sub- stance abuse and mental illnesses. SAMHSA was the lead agency in launching a landmark White House Conference on Mental Health held June 3.

This is the second time Gonzales has been ap- pointed to a National Advisory Council for a federal agency. He served on the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality’s council from 2009-11. Other significant recent appointments include the Executive Committee of the Council on Academic Affairs for the Association of Public and Land- Grant Universities (APLU) and appointment to the National Institute of Drug Abuse Advisory Council Work Group on Adoption of Evidence Based Prac- tices. He is serving a second three-year term on the editorial board of the prestigious journal Health Services Research, and regularly serves on NIH Re- search Center review panels (CTSA, RCMI, COBRE).

Gonzales has had significant research funding total- ing more than $12 million in lead roles such as PI or co-PI from federal agencies such as NIH, CDC, SAMHSA, AHRQ, STPI and private funders such as the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. He de- signed and conducted evaluation studies of federal programs such as the NIH Director Pioneer’s Award and the NIH Fogarty Center’s AITRP program.

Powell, USA (Ret.) on Wednesday, October 16, 2013. General Powell is a member of the board of directors of the Council on For- eign Relations. He is on the Executive Leadership Cabi- net of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial and is the Honorary Chairman of the education center for the Viet- nam Veterans Memorial. He also serves on the board of the Smithsonian Institute’s African American Museum of History and Culture.

His autobiography, My American Journey, was a best seller and has been published in more than a dozen dif- ferent languages. His second book, It Worked For Me, reveals the lessons that shaped his life and career and was an instant best-seller when it was published in May 2012.

The 2013 Stars Extravaganza is a private event. We in- vite local businesses to support our initiatives by be- coming sponsors of the 2013 El Paso Extravaganza. Our sponsors will enjoy the benefits of attending the Extrav- aganza, which includes a private event prior to the pres- entation by General Powell on “Diplomacy: Persuasion, Trust & Values” and year round media exposure. Stars expenses are underwritten by L&F Distributors and An- heuser-Busch, enabling Stars Scholarship Fund to direct 100 percent of every dollar contributed by sponsors to- wards student scholarships.

This year’s event will be the 1st Extravaganza held in El Paso. The Stars Extravaganzas have historically been held in Laredo, the Rio Grande Valley and in Corpus Christi. Previous presenters for our events have in- cluded Seth Meyers, Karl Rove and Steve Forbes. Stars Scholarship Fund is proud of the partnerships that have been formed with hundreds of businesses, organi- zations, colleges and universities since inception in 2002. Together our joint efforts have helped raise nearly $19 million and assisted 9,199 students from our com- munity receive a higher education through scholarships. Stars Scholarship Fund is proud to expand in to El Paso this year and to serve the students of west Texas. The 2012 Stars Extravaganzas held in the three markets proved to be extremely successful. The funds that were raised will translate to $2.3 million in scholarships to assist 1,100 students for the 2013/2014 academic year. The number of scholarships Stars Scholarship Fund can award is directly related to the success of our Extrava- ganzas, therefore we strive to ensure each Extravaganza is better than the last. With the addition of the El Paso Extravaganza, Stars Scholarship Fund will be able to as- sist more students for the 2014/2015 academic year from both south and west Texas. To become a sponsor of the 2013 Stars Extravaganza in El Paso or for more information on the Stars Scholar- ship Fund, please visit our website at www.StarsScholarship.org.

It’s fairly easy to do when you have the two necessary ingredients: moisture and sunshine. The thundershowers we had last Sunday allowed me to take a picture of a rainbow right over the Franklin Mountains on the Westside.

Rainbows form when sunlight hits the individual raindrops. Sunlight is white light. But, when the sunlight hits the drop, the light is refracted and bounced around in different directions sup- plying all kinds of colors. There are seven main colors that we see. They are red, orange, yel- low, green, blue, indigo and violet. There are also other colors that fall under ultraviolet and infrared but we cannot see them. A simple way of remembering the main colors were taught to me when I was taking my meteorology courses. Just remember the first letter of each word – Richard of York Gave Battle in Vain.

Another thing to remember while looking at a rainbow is that the sun will always be in back of you while the rain is in front. It’s also interesting to note that we all don’t see the same rain- bow. The person standing right next to you will see light bouncing off different drops from a different angle.

smacking the wall and fading to 36th at the finish, the pressure is on for the next three weeks. He insists his team is worthy of contend- ing for the championship in the season-ending, 10- race Chase. “There are guys in worse positions than us,” Earnhardt said. “We ain’t got to outrun just one guy; there’s a lot of guys. And all of them have got to have clean races, just like we do. “I think we’ll be all right. We’re not an 11th-place team. We’re a top-five team. We’re con- sistent. We’re more consistent than most. We’ve just got to shake this luck, whatever is going on; it’s something different every time.” Points leader Jimmie Johnson had mis- fortune once again at Michigan, one of the few Cup tracks where he’s never won. He wrecked his primary car in practice, drove his backup all the way to the lead in the race only to blow his engine and finish 40th. He’s still atop the points standings and locked into the Chase, but he regrets not being able to score a strong finish as he heads into the run for the championship. “I hate having momentum not work in our favor late in the regular season,” Johnson said. “I think we would have had a very strong race today if not a win. That momentum is key rolling into the Chase. That is the biggest downfall to me.” For Johnson’s and Earnhardt’s teammate Jeff Gordon, a mediocre run at Michigan put his title hopes in jeopardy. Gordon’s 17th-place finish leaves him 14th in the standings, 26 points out of the top 10 and without a win, but he overcame the odds last year to secure a Chase berth in the regular-season Sean Gardner/Getty Images for NASCAR finale at Richmond.
