Collections | 51 Dean’s Message C I MEDICINE We begin 2008 with a sense of confidence as a college nurtured by our many recent successes and the tremendous support we are receiving U from our alumni, faculty and friends in our campaign to make a great college of medicine even better. Looking back on the past year, it has been a particularly exciting time at the College of Medicine. In October, we celebrated the college’s 125th anniversary with a gala at Chicago’s historic Union Station. If you were among the 1,000 friends of the college who attended the event, you know what a spectacular evening it was. That same weekend, we also welcomed alumni for our annual reunion. Even if you weren’t able to attend these events in person, you can experience them through the photo essays on pages 14 through 17. As proud as I am of the college’s illustrious history, I am even prouder that it continues to make history by advancing education, research and patient care. In September, the University of Illinois Medical Center at Chicago opened the Walter Payton Liver Center, the first and only medical institution honored by the name of the legendary Chicago Bears running back, whose life was cut short by liver disease. Housed in a newly renovated wing of the hospital, the center is the new home for the university’s internationally renowned programs in liver disease care and research. Our cover story on page 18 discusses how the center came to be and why UIC is the fitting place to carry on Payton’s legacy. UIC continues to lead in other areas as well. In August, the university was awarded a $9.6 million, five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health to establish the Autism Center of Excellence, one of five NIH-funded centers in the United States and the only one in the Midwest. The center will be an interdisciplinary research program dedicated to studying the underlying causes and treatment for the repetitive behavior associated with autism. You can read about it and other exciting campus news stories starting on the following page. I am very pleased that our students also are taking up the mantle of leadership at the very outset of their medical careers. As you will read on page 13, members of the UIC chapter of the American Medical Student Association hosted this year’s regional AMSA conference, which drew nationally renowned speakers and hundreds of medical students from schools across the Midwest. In May our students received their MD degrees during our commencement ceremonies. I welcome the Class of 2007 to the ranks of UIC alumni. I hope they will be as proud of the College of Medicine and supportive of future classes as the alumni with whom I had the pleasure of meeting during my recent trips around the country. In June, I visited with alumni in Southern California, and in November I met with former students in Florida. During these conversations, I was deeply gratified by the strong ties these alums still felt to the college, their interest in the exciting new developments here, and their desire to help us in our endeavors. I know you feel the same way, and I thank you for your support. Sincerely, Joseph A.Flaherty, MD’71, Res ’75, BS ’68 Dean UIC College of Medicine 2 UICMedicine Spring 2008 Campus News | Chicago UIC Establishes Autism Center of Excellence by Sherri McGinnis González recently was awarded a $9.6 million, five- UIC year grant from the National Institutes of Health to establish an Autism Center of Excellence, one of five funded centers in the United States and the only Midwest site.

  • Journalists Denying Liberal Bias, Part Three
    Journalists Denying Liberal Bias, Part Three More examples of journalists denying their liberal bias: "I'm not going to judge anybody else in the business, but our work — I can speak for NBC News and our newsroom — it goes through, talk about checks and balances. We have an inordinate number of editors. Every word I write, before it goes on air, goes through all kinds of traps and filters, and it's read by all kinds of different people who point out bias." — CNBC anchor Brian Williams on Comedy Central's The Daily Show, July 29, 2003. "Our greatest accomplishment as a profession is the development since World War II of a news reporting craft that is truly non-partisan, and non-ideological....It is that legacy we must protect with our diligent stewardship. To do so means we must be aware of the energetic effort that is now underway to convince our readers that we are ideologues. It is an exercise of, in disinformation, of alarming proportions, this attempt to convince the audience of the world's most ideology-free newspapers that they're being subjected to agenda-driven news reflecting a liberal bias. I don't believe our viewers and readers will be, in the long-run, misled by those who advocate biased journalism." — New York Times Executive Editor Howell Raines accepting the 'George Beveridge Editor of the Year Award,' February 20, 2003. CBS's Lesley Stahl: "Today you have broadcast journalists who are avowedly conservative.... The voices that are being heard in broadcast media today, are far more likely to be on the right and avowedly so, and therefore, more — almost stridently so, than what you're talking about." Host Cal Thomas: "Can you name a conservative journalist at CBS News?" Stahl: "I don't know of anybody's political bias at CBS News....We try very hard to get any opinion that we have out of our stories, and most of our stories are balanced." — Exchange on the Fox News Channel's After Hours with Cal Thomas, January 18, 2003.

Informe presentado por el Consejo Directivo Nacional de la Sociedad Mexicana de Autores de las Artes Plásticas, Sociedad De Gestión Colectiva De Interés Público, correspondiente al segundo semestre del 2013 y lo correspondiente al año 2014 ante la Asamblea General de Socios. Nuestra Sociedad de Gestión ha tenido varios resultados importantes y destacables con ello hemos demostrado que a pesar de las problemáticas presentadas en nuestro país se puede tener una Sociedad de Gestión como la nuestra. Sociedades homologas como Arte Gestión de Ecuador quienes han recurrido al cierre de la misma por situaciones económicas habla de la crisis vivida en nuestros días en Latinoamérica. Casos como Guatemala, Colombia, Honduras en especial Centro América, son a lo referido, donde les son imposibles abrir una representación como Somaap para representar a sus autores plásticos, ante esto damos las gracias a todos quienes han hecho posible la creación y existencia de nuestra Sociedad Autoral y a quienes la han presidido en el pasado enriqueciéndola y dándoles el impulso para que siga existiendo. Es destacable mencionar los logros obtenidos en las diferentes administraciones donde cada una han tenido sus dificultades y sus aciertos, algunas más o menos que otras pero a todas les debemos la razón de que estemos en estos momentos y sobre una estructura solida para afrontar los embates, dando como resultado la seguridad de la permanencia por algunos años más de nuestra querida Somaap. Por ello, es importante seguir trabajando en conjunto para lograr la consolidación de la misma y poder pensar en la Somaap por muchas décadas en nuestro país, como lo ha sido en otras Sociedades de Gestión.

    King of the Paranormal CNN's Larry King Live has a long history of outrageous promotion of UFOs, psychics, and spiritualists. CHRIS MOONEY roadcast on CNN, the July 1, 2003, installment of Larry King Live was a sight to behold. The program, Bin Kings words, explored "the incredible events of fifty-six years ago at Roswell, New Mexico." What most likely crashed at Roswell in 1947 was a government spy bal- loon, but the panel of guests assembled on King's show pre- ferred a more sensational version of events. Jesse Marcel, Jr., son of a Roswell intelligence officer, claimed that just after the crash, his father showed him bits of debris that "came from another civilization" (Marcel 2003). Glenn Dennis, who worked at a Roswell funeral home at the time, said a military officer called him to ask about the availability of small caskets (i.e., for dead aliens).

  • PAJ77/No.03 Chin-C
    AIN’T NO SUNSHINE The Cinema in 2003 Larry Qualls and Daryl Chin s 2003 came to a close, the usual plethora of critics’ awards found themselves usurped by the decision of the Motion Picture Producers Association of A America to disallow the distribution of screeners to its members, and to any organization which adheres to MPAA guidelines (which includes the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences). This became the rallying cry of the Independent Feature Project, as those producers who had created some of the most notable “independent” films of the year tried to find a way to guarantee visibility during award season. This issue soon swamped all discussions of year-end appraisals, as everyone, from critics to filmmakers to studio executives, seemed to weigh in with an opinion on the matter of screeners.
