Letter From the New Editor …

There’s a new Pacifica Patch editor in town and she could really use your help.

Hello Pacifica!

I’m Christa Bigue, your new Pacifica Patch editor, ready to make your life in P-Town even better and easier with more comprehensive and relevant news and information that you’ve come to trust since the site first launched in 2010.

As the new editor of Pacifica Patch, I look forward to meeting you and hearing your stories. If you see me around town (usually in Uggs or flip flops) or at the beach (surfing Linda Mar with my kids and husband), don't be afraid to say hi and tell me what you want to see on Patch.

We all know, there's no shortage of great (and sometimes not-so-great) things going on around town. That’s why I need your help.

As a Patch user, you can:

• Upload your own photos and videos.

• Share your perspectives by blogging for us.

• Submit your own events, announcements, and reviews.

• Comment on articles and participate in discussions.

• Claim your business listing in our directory.

• Receive our morning newsletter with daily headlines and breaking news alerts.

• Write a letter to the editor and send your story/content ideas to me at christa.bigue@patch.com.

I’m also Patch editor of your neighbor on the other side of Devil’s Slide, so I hope you two play nicely together. “Pathetica” comments from Half Moon Bay Patch users will not be tolerated. Besides, we all know it’s really “Terrifica” anyway!

And don't worry, experienced journalist , who's been guest editing Pacifica Patch these past few months, isn't going far. As a matter of fact, you'll be seeing his byline from time to time on the site.

So stay engaged with the site to keep up with community news and events, check out photos and videos from around town, and learn more about local businesses and nonprofits and the people behind them. Tell your friends and family to join Pacifica Patch as well.

My hope is that the site continues to strengthen the community and improve the lives of residents, but again, I can't do it without you! So get to it!

Your Pacifica Patch editor,

Christa

I can start with the comments on the Theravance drug, fluticasone fluroate - the active moiety inRead More this compound is the same, fluticasone (proprionate) that has been marketed by GSK for the same indication for approximately 25 years. Indeed, that patent is so old, and the drug has such a proven track record for safety and efficacy, that the patent has expired and there are generic versions available. There is also in implicit assumption by the author that the only reason that the FDA will approve medications in a short time span is because they are for 'life-or-limb' or unmet serious medical need. This is just not the case - regulators in many countries, including the FDA in the USA, may give accelerated approval to a product, where the safety and tolerability of a product is equivalent to a similar active agent which has already been approved. I suspect this is the case for fluticasone fluroate - but I am not privy to the details of the regulatory filing. I note that none of the companies mentioned here, nor the FDA, has provided input to this article. The journalism in this article smacks of someone trying to make a name for themselves quickly by scaring uneducated and/or anxious people. The science is just plain flawed.

Please tell us in what ways it is ill-informed
Anon. April 11, 2013 at 08:22 pm
Ill-informed, sensationalist rubbish.

Each column gets better. I look for "The Shoe."

I think many of us can relate! 10 kids, huh? I was the oldest of 9, so sort of understand. MyRead More family grew up in Pacifica, & we rode over the slide every weekend when we went to the HMB airport to tend to my father's airplanes. I drove on it once, during driver's ed in high school, scary! I have an old home movie clip from 1966, going over the slide. Very overexposed, but you can still see parts of the slide in it. More recently, took 2 videos of our drive over the slide, North & south views. Going North: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb8NKnu9Gvw Going South: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rlN_g2LeE8
