Stephen Gayle Calhoun, 52, was ar raigned this week on 15 counts of en couraging child sexual abuse. Calhoun was originally arrested April 8 on misdemeanor charges of in vasion of personal privacy after at least one visitor to his home discovered hid den video cameras there, Jackson County Sheriffs Lt. Dewey Patten said. Investigators served a search war rant at the home last weekend and are now reviewing seized tapes that were allegedly used to secretly record sever al people, including children, as they dressed or disrobed. Patten said the images could be considered “offen sive” to those taped, but he did not provide further details. “This is kind of unusual,” Patten said. “We don’t usually see this sort of clandestine videotaping in a home.” Inventor to receive Lemelson-MIT prize PORTLAND — California inventor Elwood “Woody” Norris has been named to receive the $500,000 Lemel son-MIT prize this year to honor tech nology he developed to focus sound over long distances.

Medical license revocation rare despite mistakes PORTLAND — The case of a Portland doctor under investigation for patient deaths in Australia after his medical practice was limited by Oregon regula tors has raised questions about the lev el of disciplinary action for physician negligence and surgical mistakes. Dr. Jayant M. Patel, 55, who worked for 12 years at Kaiser Perma nente in Portland, is under investiga tion in Australia after problems at the Bundaberg Base Hospital in Queens land, where he was chief of surgery for the past two years. The Oregon Board of Medical Exam iners restricted his practice in 2000 fol lowing a review of 79 problem cases, including a man whose colostomy was performed backward, blocking his gas trointestinal system. The board cited Patel for “gross or repeated acts of negligence” but based the restrictions mainly on four cases out of the 79 referred by Kaiser for re view. Kaiser also alerted the National Practitioners Data Bank, a federal data base that tracks disciplinary actions against doctors.
