| BYU revises political neutrality policy
She said the sections regarding students and clubs that would like to invite candidates, politicians or others to speak on campus had been expounded to clear up confusion. Procedures for approval from the university have been clarified. The policy says "colleges, student academic associations, BYUSA and student-chartered clubs must receive approval prior to extending an invitation to a partisan political speaker or arranging an event [such as a debate or forum] that involves candidates for public office, public officials or campaign officials." The policy continues to outline the steps necessary for each group to gain approval. Groups must clear speakers with academic advisors, department chairs, deans and in some cases, the Office of General Counsel. Jenkins said the university has not gotten tighter with procedures.
Eye Surgeon At Dublin Clinic Faced Misconduct Charge In The U.K.
An Eye Surgeon who narrowly avoided a serious professional misconduct sanction in Britain is now operating in Dublin.
Ballsbridge,Dublin.Dec,06,2007--Dr. Anupam Chatterjee was the subject of a British General Medical Council (GMC) fitness to practice hearing in 2003 after a patient on whom he performed Laser Surgery accused the Doctor of permanently damaging his sight.
The Manchester-based Doctor was cleared of the charge but admitted during the hearing that he had gone against guidelines warning Doctors not to operate on both eyes on the same day.
The guideline was intended to make sure that any potential damage suffered by patients with complications would be limited to only one eye.
After his eyes were left permanently damaged, Manchester lawyer Paul Burton complained to the GMC saying he had not been warned of the potential risk.
May 2006
After just a couple months of living in it, though, I find I'm falling in love with this undistinguished - and indistinguishable – house, despite its lack of pedigree. Life within its un-historic confines is proving to be surprisingly freeing. My neighbors have windows made from 200-year-old hand-blown glass and chimneys wide as redwoods, but I feel no sense of envy toward these historically significant Joneses. I drive past centuries of style with every supermarket run, and return to my 1960s Cape on its concrete-block foundation, knowing that if a pipe bursts or an electrical outlet shorts out, I won't need an architectural-history degree to make things right again. My last two homes in Chicago each had their own unique historical aspects, each an example of a classic style unique to that city's storied design past.
Brown gets pleasant reception
He was talking, of course, of his seven turnovers and several missed shots against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday, his first home game since replacing injured Andrew Bynum when the boos greeted his miscues.
Teammates rallied around him and Brown owned up to his mistakes.
Against the Denver Nuggets on Monday, the lights dimmed, the starters were announced and the audience . . . cheered Brown's introduction.
Not as loud as the applause for Kobe Bryant, but there were no discernible hisses or hoots.
And the approval grew louder when Brown converted two easy baskets early, a dunk and layup, both assisted by Lamar Odom. A miss off the backboard then followed an awkward-looking jump shot.
The crowd stayed behind him and booed his involvement only when officials called an offensive foul after Brown made a layup and when he had the ball stripped away.

Police investigate luring of kids in Sussex
The 38-year-old man, who was not immediately identified, underwent surgery at Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center in Plainfield, and his injuries are not considered life-threatening, police said. City Public Safety Director Martin Hellwig said police will put on a "full-court press" to counteract the "disturbing trend" seen in Plainfield since Saturday, when shots were fired in an apparent gang turf battle. No one was hurt, but that incident, today's shooting and the shooting of a 20-year-old bicyclist Tuesday appear to be related to ongoing gang warfare, Hellwig said.

Boom Looms In Sundance
Mark Pellington's "Henry Poole Is Here"; and the coming-of-age tale "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh," one of three films from Michael London's Groundswell Prods. (Miramax's "Smart People" and Overture's "The Visitor" are the others).Foreign films usually aren't big sellers -- last year's $4 million Searchlight/Weinstein Co. buy of "La Misma Luna" aside -- but in the coming days, the Danish identity-swap thriller "Just Another Love Story," the Russian missing-woman saga "Mermaid" and the Mexican sci-fi tale "Sleep Dealer" are titles that insiders say deliver the goods.Documentaries, meanwhile, will try to overcome market skepticism this weekend when Nanette Burstein's study in adolescence "American Teen," Stacy Peralta's gang film "Made in America," the slavery docu "Tales of the Trade" and Chris Waitt's first-person "A Complete History of My Sexual Failures" debut in Park City.Saturday afternoon also will see one of the most commercial and expensive movies ever to bow at the fest: 2929 Entertainment's $30 million-plus production "What Just Happened?" a Hollywood comedy-drama directed by Barry Levinson that stars such A-listers as Robert De Niro and Bruce Willis.John Sloss, the Cinetic Media principal who's selling the film, said execs think this will be the right venue because it will debunk any misconception that the film is too insidery.
