Meeting

I feel blessed. After five years waiting for Steven Horsford to return a call my anxiety level has now dropped appreciably because Horsford has agreed that I can speak with him as soon as October 10. He is even coming to my office. In anticipation of this colossal event I’m sure I won’t be able to sleep during the week before the conversation.

I haven’t a clue of what he’ll say to me. I’m sure being the great political figure he is that I’ll be overwhelm.

I hope I remember what he looks like.

Protein Therapy Discovered Through UNSOM

State funding support for world-class public universities, like Berkeley, the University of Michigan and the University of Virginia has been reduced as low as zero to 20%.  The top tier public universities learned many years ago it was necessary for them to become research universities, which are profit centers, to fund their operations.  UNLV and UNR are far behind on the curve in becoming self-sustaining.  Both must develop as world renowned research universities to earn income to survive and succeed.

Today Jim discusses the many attributes and plans of UNR and UNLV to make both universities competitive with the other world-class U.S. public universities.

A protein therapy discovered through UNSOM shows promise as a potential treatment for the most common form of Muscular Dystrophy. The naturally occurring protein has been shown to be an effective substitution therapy in mice.  The discovery is at the center of discussions by the international research and clinical community studying Muscular Dystrophy.

Standards

I like standards that guide me on the quality of  work I do. I believe we ought to do as much as we can to set standards for politicians. If we did so, then starting at the bottom I would use these standards to measure the future success of Nevada’s politicians.
 
5. Jim Gibbons F-----
4. Sharron Angle F ----
3. Barbara Cegavske F ---
2. John Oceguera F--
1. Steven Horsford F-

The lesson in this list is to suggest that you never use these five as standards for success.

Most Important Race

Probably the most important race in Nevada this year, other than the presidential race, is the race between Berkley and Heller. I don’t question Heller’s intelligence or experience but I am concerned about his work ethic. He is lazy, unmotivated, un-motivating and has little if any leadership ability. I can’t imagine him helping Nevada in any respect.

I Strongly Support

Being in the broadcasting business during the last ten years, I’ve spent several hours each day watching and learning about the political process in Nevada. That experience has brought me to the conclusion that in the 2012 Nevada elections I strongly support Democrat Dina Titus and Republican’s Mark Amodei, Joe Heck and Danny Tarkanian.

Appointment

Horsford’s highly positioned political friend read my Tweet about their failure to seek an appointment for the three of us. A time certain has been set for the three of us to meet next week.

I cannot imagine what Horsford and his mentor will say. If I had treated Jim Rogers the way Horsford had treated Jim Rogers, I think I would not have the nerve to look Rogers in the eye.

But you have to remember that Horsford is a fraud and an empty suit with a thought process that is totally different from yours and mine. I will keep you informed.

UNLV State Funding - Horsford

Horsford readily acknowledges that UNLV does not receive its fair share of state funding. But yet he did not propose a budget that fairly funded UNLV. Horsford’s opinion of his own creativity and importance would be an interesting case study by a group of psychologists and psychiatrists.
