Atlanta, GA USA – Collegiate rivals and even a high school student dominated the first day of qualifying in the BB&T Atlanta Open. Here are some notable quotes and events from the first day of qualifying.
Georgia Tech's Kevin King talked about how he was able to finally defeat rival University of Georgia's Wil Spencer 6-4, 6-3 after losing in three previous collegiate matches:
"I was able to be a little more patient and wait for my opportunities to attack and just take advantage of some of those close games. It could have gone either way. Today I was fortunate enough for it to go my wayâ€, said King. He admitted the atmosphere was a bit different from college play with the absence of fans rooting for a particular team. He broke a string but appeared to play better despite the temporary setback. It happened right after the first set but appeared to help him loosen up and play better. "It was bad luck. I mean it could have happened at anytime. There's nothing I could do about it so I just kind of moved on past it.â€
King talked about the heat, indicating it was a bit different from other heat he's played in before. "It was hot but the past couple of weeks have been hot here, you know, over 100 a lot of days so that's been great to get me prepared for the heat today. It's very humid here as well. It's just a different environment.â€
University of Georgia's rising sophomore and Atlanta native Nathan Pasha who experienced a successful freshman year talked about the difference between collegiate tournaments and the BB&T Atlanta Open and factors that may have led to his 6-7 (5), 6-2, 7-5 defeat to 5th seeded Rik De Voest of South Africa:
"It was a long, physical match. I won a long first set. The second set was a bit shorter, he won. Third set I was doing pretty well and ended up cramping. I sweat a lot. I'm a heavy sweater so I'm guessing it was from that. It was little bit from nerves too. It's unfortunate, I couldn't pull it out even if I wasn't cramping.â€
Pasha talked about the difference playing collegiate tournaments and with the pros: "It depends where you play. If you play high in the lineup at Georgia in a good conference, there are a lot of good guys who can play these tournaments and do well. So it's not a huge difference. The only difference that I would say is pros are a lot more emotionally leveled and college people are a little bit more up and down emotionally and that could give you games here and there.â€
Pasha talked about playing in an urban environment for the first time: "The venue's really cool. It's really unique, you know. It's not often that I get to play and I get to see downtown buildings you know, right above the stadium. It's a really urban area. You look up and people are on bridges, just random people walking by watching matches. It's unique and cool.â€
Milwaukee, Wisconsin native Tim Smyczek talked about how his experience over his opponent helped him in his defeat of Judd Motz, a nationally ranked high school player from metro Atlanta, winning 6-0, 6-1:
"With these tournaments especially in this heat the less time you spend on the court, the better. I didn't know a whole lot about him going into it but I gathered that he was a younger guy and this might have been one of his first events. So I wanted to go out there and work on some things and take care of business. I don't want to say get out of there quickly because he is a good player and I know he didn't play his best today. I was happy with the way I took care of business.â€
About playing in a very urban venue, Smyczek found it quite interesting:
"I had heard earlier in the year that they were going to build it on top of one of the parking structures and it didn't work out. I think it's a really neat idea. I think depending on what kind of turn out they have this week they might start doing more stuff like this cause I think it's pretty interesting. It was a little uncanny watching up from the court and see skyscrapers in the back.â€

Pros – Competitive salary and benefits. I was in a work from home job the last 2 years employed which really cant be beat.
Cons – 401k really din't have much in the way of fund selection. I've read that this is pretty much standard for the banking industry. There is just too much money to be made back by offering mediocre funds and hoping you will buy the banks funds which tend to under perform the market and have high fees to boot. They also rely on out sourced labor so be prepared to be jettisoned if they deem you replaceable.
Advice to Senior Management – I still own BAC stock so keep up the out sourcing and continue to drive profits up but be aware that the offshore labor you hire are contractors. The don't work for the bank. They are loyal to the contractor company that prints their paychecks and will immediately jump ship for a higher paying gig at first opportunity.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Oklahoma wide receiver Ryan Broyles needs three catches to match the NCAA record for receptions in a career.
Because he is averaging 9.4 catches per game this season, it's a pretty safe bet the mark will fall when the third-ranked Sooners face Kansas at 8:15 Saturday night in Lawrence, Kan.
Broyles said he received an email Tuesday from Taylor Stubblefield, who set the record of 316 at Purdue from 2001-04.
"He told me it was a great accomplishment," Broyles said. "He also told me the biggest accomplishment in his life was being able to say he's a better man than a football player. I think that's my aspect on it all. Football has allowed me to grow as a man."
Stubblefield is currently the receivers coach at Central Michigan.
Chasing records
Broyles caught his last pass in the third quarter of the Texas game. If OU wanted to, it could have gotten Broyles the all-time reception record in the Cotton Bowl against Texas.
Stoops said he and staff thought about it with the Sooners holding a 45-point lead heading into the fourth quarter.
"We haven't left guys in to get records in those kinds of situations in the past. We don't want them to get hurt," Stoops said. "We'll just wait and he'll get it when it comes within the flow of our offense. He still had 12 minutes to go if we wanted to throw him four more balls."
Tickets remain for Texas Tech and Iowa St.
The OU Athletics Ticket Office has a limited number of tickets remaining for the Sooners' game against Texas Tech Oct. 22 and Iowa State Nov. 26.
Tickets for the Texas Tech game are $89 each. Tickets for the Iowa State game are available for $77. Both games will kickoff at 7 p.m. at Owen Field.
Tickets can be purchased online at soonersports.com, from the ticket windows located on the west side of Owen Field or on the phone at 1-800-456-4668.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Nickelback Canada
I've loved Nickelback music since before I even knew the name "Nickelback" but they spend too much time in other countries on tour than they do here in their own home country, and I'm sure I'm not the only person here who would like to have more Nickelback here at home !
I promise myself that after 2 concerts, the next one I'm getting myself the meet & greet passes so I can actually meet them, it would be a dream come true for me.
Their words saved my life, gave me hope, and courage and strength when I needed it most, and for that I will be forever gratefull, the power of the lyrics is amazing, and so hits home !
Thanks guys, never stop rocking !

Building nursing capacity, strengthening health systems, and improving global health
The University of Maryland School of Nursing (UMSON) Office of Global Health (OGH) emerged from UMSON's 2003-2006 Strategic Plan, which called on the School to "establish a global health initiative in education, research, and practice." In January 2009 the OGH was officially established with Dr. Jeffrey Johnson as director to lead the School's effort to integrating and fostering global health activities, developing meaningful opportunities for students and faculty, and building sustainable partnerships that focus on strengthening the critical role of nurses in the global health workforce. The Office of Global Health is deeply committed to serving local and global communities through the lens of social justice.
PAHO/WHO Collaborating Center for Mental Health Nursing (2002 – 2010)
In 2002, UMSON was named the first Pan American Health Organization, World Health Organization Collaborating Center (PAHO/WHO CC) for Mental Health Nursing in the United States; one of only two in North, Central, and South America. The center functioned as an independent program within the Office of Global Health. Its primary responsibility was the completion of Terms of Reference developed every five years through consultation with PAHO/WHO, with the intention of furthering PAHO resolutions and promoting the WHO's strategic directions while utilizing strengths of UMSON faculty and staff.
The center worked on a qualitative survey of the mental health nursing workforce in Latin America with the goal of better understanding the context, content, and conditions related to the practice of mental health nursing in Mexico, Central and South America, Canada, and the Caribbean. In August 2010, a final report was submitted to PAHO/WHO to assist their efforts in addressing the region's mental health human resource needs.
In March 2010, the PAHO/WHO CC collaborated with the University of the West Indies, Jamaica, PAHO and the Violence Prevention Alliance of Jamaica to establish a multidisciplinary team to prevent workplace violence, share nursing expertise related to work and health research, and develop relevant trainings in health care settings.

Hey basketball, how have you been? I missed you dearly. My favorite sport to play, and one of my favorites to watch, is back in the limelight this week.
Basketball returns to the prep schedule and will be joined by wrestling and more swimming in the coming weeks as winter hits full swing and fall becomes a distant memory.
The Lady Cats Invitational is the big kick-off event, taking place Friday and Saturday in the Cat's Den. North Murray's girls play Martin Luther King Jr. at 6 p.m. Friday while Dalton's girls face Christian Heritage right after. On Saturday, the Lady Mountaineers play the Lady Catamounts and M.L King and Christian Heritage face off in a battle of Lady Lions. This is the first test for the Christian Heritage girls program after back-to-back trips to the Georgia Independent School Association Class 2A semifinals. M.L. King is a Class 5A school out of Lithonia and Region 6-5A.
On Tuesday, the first scrimmages take place. Ringgold hosts Dalton, and Northwest Whitfield hosts North Murray. The girls start at 6 p.m. with the boys to follow.
On Thursday, Murray County hosts Tennessee's Polk County, while Southeast Whitfield takes on Sonoraville in a scrimmage. Both start with the girls at 6 p.m. and the boys right after.
n Hey, what about the red and white football team? Yes, Dalton soundly defeated Pickens in the Region 7-4A play-in game to garner a No. 3 seed into the Class 4A state playoffs.
Carver-Atlanta is the destination on Friday as the Catamounts are scheduled to start at Lakewood Stadium beginning at 7:30 p.m. The Panthers are 9-1 on the year and the Region 6-4A No. 2 seed after a 42-14 loss to Marist in the region championship game this past Friday night.
A win would be the first Dalton playoff victory since 2005.
In other 4A playoff action around Northwest Georgia, Ridgeland plays host to Washington, Gilmer travels to Marist and River Ridge hosts Grady. In Class 3A, Cartersville hosts Jackson County, Hart County will visit Adairsville, Ringgold travels to North Oconee and Gordon Central is at Morgan County.
In Class 2A, Calhoun will host Wesleyan, Westminster visits Pepperell, Model travels to Greater Atlanta Christian and Coosa is at Lovett.
n Swimming started last week with Dalton, Northwest and Union County's tri-meet. This week, it's Dalton hosting Ringgold and Heritage-Catoosa on Thursday starting at 6 p.m. Wrestling begins, too, with Northwest heading to a tri-meet Friday at Ringgold with Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe. Southeast Whitfield will compete at the Alexander Duals in Douglasville.
n This is the final notice for athletic directors and coaches at all local middle schools and high schools to send in their schedules and rosters for winter sports (basketball, wrestling and swimming and diving) as soon as they're finalized so we can begin putting together the area prep schedule for our readers.
Information should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com, and any questions should be directed to Marty Kirkland, sports editor, at email@example.com or (706) 272-7742.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
— —
If I could go back and relive my teen and preteen years again, I would do so with the condition that Judy Blume write my life story.
The writer — who turned 75 this month — authored some of the characters who became my literary best friends during my adolescence. Her books were an instrumental part of growing up for me and I would dare say for many women who grew up during the past 45 years.
Some of my first exposures to Judy Blume's books were on the bookshelf of books my mother had saved from her own adolescence. It was there I first picked up "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" and the books of the "Fudge" series.
With her first book published in 1969, it is no wonder she is now reaching out to multiple generations through books passed down mother to daughter.
It was those happy-go-lucky, cheerful books like "Superfudge" that provided a nice introduction to Blume and made me more willing to pick up other books she had authored on more serious subjects.
Those books were also some great introductions to the whole concept of reading a "chapter book," something that many younger elementary kids find daunting when they first begin developing their reading skill. Reading a Judy Blume book seemed to take no time at all because I was having so much fun.
I distinctly remember being up late at night, hiding under the covers with a flashlight while I devoured the pages of "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret."
As a pre-teen girl, I found a kindred spirit in the protagonist Margaret Simon who herself was having a hard time navigating the choppy waters of not being an adult yet not wanting to be a child any more.
Of course, what makes Blume great to me at least is the fact that she tackles subject matters a lot of her readers are dealing with. She took on the subject of bullying in her 1974 novel "Blubber," about a group of fifth-grade girls who pick on an overweight classmate.
Blume was one of the first young adult writers to really deal with divorce in an honest way in books like "It's Not the End of the World" and "Just As Long as We're Together." Her novel "Tiger Eyes" is about a young girl trying to cope with the death of her father who was a bystander murdered in a botched convenience store robbery.
Though many of her main characters have their own insecurities, they always manage to get through whatever troubles they have experienced with a sense of hope for the future. The fact that Blume ends her novels with a hopeful spirit allows her readers who are experiencing the same things to have hope themselves, the hope that things will indeed get better even if that process is slow.
Despite the fact that her books deal with so many issues important and on the minds of young readers, she remains one of the most frequently challenged writers in schools and libraries across the country.
It always seemed odd to me that so many people wanted to ban these books, which answered so many questions and dealt with so much subject matter I was too nervous or embarrassed to ask parents, teachers and even my friends.
The thing about her books is I always found it so easy to slip into the story, to identify with her characters whether they were performing hilarious antics or going through immeasurable heartbreak. She fostered my love for reading at an early age. Without Judy Blume, I don't think we would have other popular young adult writers we have today like Meg Cabot, Jennifer Echols, Lisi Harrison, Sarah Dessen, Cicley von Ziegesar, Ally Carter, E. Lockhart, Sarah Mylnowski, Louise Rennison, and Ann Brashares and her "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" series.
There is even a book called "Everything I Learned About Being a Girl I Learned from Judy Blume" containing essays from several writers about how Blume's writing influenced their own paths. A generation of young adult writers have taken her style of using humor to help tackle difficult issues from body image to divorce to abuse to cliques. Blume is also known for responding to her readers who have written her thousands of letters about their own struggles with peer pressure, divorce and death.
Sometime this weekend, I will undoubtedly locate my copy of "Are You There God?" on one of my many bookshelves just to flip through the well-worn pages and remember all of those adventures I had with Margaret Simon and her friends.
And maybe, just for old times sake, I might turn off the lights, crawl under the bed covers and reread the book with my flashlight just to feel like a kid again.

H. Wilford Dollins was born in a Minor Hill, Tenn., farmhouse on March 14, 1925, to David Brown Dollins and Ivarena Smith.
Most people would say he had fought the illness, but the truth is it was keeping him from playing golf so he dismissed it. He went to his eternal home Monday, July 1, 2013.
He grew up like any country boy, with a healthy love of agriculture and the people in his close-knit community. He went to school, played basketball, got into trouble and fell in love.
He was a brother to Garland, Loel, Joel, Leon and sister Louise, who all have preceded him in death.
Dollins is survived by his wife, Mildred Adell Dollins. He had said the date they married was "immaterial," but experts place it around Feb. 12, 1944.
Not long after came their son, Robert, who also preceded him in death in 2005.
In the 1960s, the couple adopted two daughters, Nancy and Leah.
He is most known for being a man who helped build Athens as it is today. A former president of the Limestone County Chamber of Commerce and a long-standing member of the Limestone County Builders Association, he was awarded the Builder of the Year title in 2010. He also was the owner and operator of Tennessee Valley Wholesalers, a plumbing and electrical supply store with locations in Athens and Pulaski, Tenn.
Dollins was also a man of second chances. He gave of himself, even when it hurt, but didn't think twice because he expected you to make the most of it.
He is remembered fondly as "Papa" by his family, daughter Nancy Croomes and husband Scott of Athens; daughter Leah Morash and husband Dan of Athens; grandchildren Robyn Olsen and husband Javis of Pulaski, Tenn.; Nicole Gatlin and husband Jimmy of Athens; Will Darmer of Athens; Benjamin Croomes of Auburn; David Croomes and wife Ashlee of Burbank, Calif.; and Rebecca Croomes of Athens.
Services will be at Carr & Erwin Funeral Home in Pulaski, Tenn.
The funeral is scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday, July 5, with burial to follow at Giles Memory Gardens.
Visitation will be from 4-8 p.m. Thursday, July 4.

Check Patch's Hurricane Sandy Section for the most recent information.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg enacted the city's coastal storm plan Thursday as both Hurricane Sandy and a winter weather system threatened to combine and take aim on the five boroughs.
Given the nickname "Frankenstorm" as a nod to Mary Shelley's monster novel, the potentially colossal weather event has the possibility of bringing strong winds, heavy rain and historic coastal flooding to much of the Eastern Seaboard—including low-lying areas of Brooklyn and Queens.
That means folks forced out of their homes during last year's Tropical Storm Irene may have to leave for higher ground yet again.
Today and over the weekend, Patch will continue to track the approaching storm and the city's response.
Stay tuned.

INDIAN LAND — For artist Debbie Whitsett, the move to Fort Mill was a chance to join a new community.
"I have been trying to break into the art community in Fort Mill," she said.
Whitsett was recently a finalist for the Strawberry Festival poster competition.
Whitsett moved from Charlotte, where she taught clay classes in her home studio, to Fort Mill nearly 18 months ago. She opened her new studio and business, Olive's Mud Puddle, in Indian Land in August.
Whitsett's studio is named after her favorite – and smartest – pet duck, Olive.
"I like whimsy, fun stuff," Whitsett said.
Her uncle and grandfather also are artists.
Whitsett is self-taught and said she has been painting and drawing since childhood.
When her son was younger, Whitsett took a clay class in Charlotte and found her new calling.
"I've been working with (clay) ever since," she said.
Whitsett teaches clay classes, holds birthday parties and works on commission pieces at her studio.
Whitsett likes to paint, but mainly focuses on clay work. Recently, she fulfilled her dream of making statues when she was commissioned to work on an "Alice in Wonderland"-themed garden statue.
"I like 3-D work," she said.
Whitsett's classes offer students a chance to make any piece they want.
"I enjoy introducing people to working with clay and keeping (the art) alive," she said.
"There aren't many places where people can go and make what they want out of clay."
While her students are mainly adults, Whitsett holds birthday parties where children can make and paint their own clay pieces.
"It seems to be a big hit," she said.
"Everyone always enjoys it and wants to come back."
Want to go?
Olive's Mud Puddle, 10152 Barberville Road, Indian Land, offers classes 2-4 p.m. Tuesdays, 1-3 p.m. Wednesdays and 6-8 p.m. on a month-to-month basis. Individual appointments are available. For more information, call 704-301-2619 or visit www.olivesmudpuddle.com.

DeAndre Jordan showed early in the game against the New York Knicks he could be another option on offense for the Clippers, scoring all eight of his points in the first half.
Jordan also had 10 rebounds and two blocked shots.
"I just wanted to take whatever they gave me," Jordan said about New York's defense against him. "They switch a lot. A lot of times I had a smaller guy on me so I was trying to use that to our/my advantage. It worked a little bit so we just kept trying to go to it."

By Jim Workman
Assistant Managing Editor
A year ago, Ted Potter, Jr. was a surprise winner of The Greenbrier Classic, lifting the trophy for his first PGA TOUR FedExCup victory in a field that began with Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Tom Watson.
He was the last man standing, accepting the Greenbrier-version of a green jacket from resort owner Jim Justice, after winning a three-hole playoff over Troy Kelly as a PGA TOUR rookie.
Although the 29-year old second-year pro didn't win the 2013 edition of the tournament after finishing at 9-under for the tournament, the left-hander is proving to be a contender to watch, week-to-week.
He shot 69-66-69-67, tied for sixth, at this year's Greenbrier Classic.
"It's definitely a confidence booster because, I mean, coming out, winning here last year, I mean guys probably think that was a fluke or something like that, I'm sure," Potter said. "But just to come back and play well here definitely helps my confidence for the rest of the year, too.
"I'm very happy to finish at 9-under — I'm definitely pleased about that."
Coming into this week, Potter had one Top 10 finish, and four Top 25s in 17 events played.
But the Old White TPC has to hold a special spot for Potter.
"I just love the course, it's tree-lined, it's tight and you've got to position yourself still in the fairways out there because of the bunkers out there, but I think it's a course that's fair for everybody," Potter said. "Anybody that hits it from 270 to 310 can play this course.
"Some of the courses on TOUR you've got there's more bomber scores. This course, I think the whole field has got a good chance to play well. I guess that probably boosts my ego around the course confidence-wise, and I feel like I've got a good chance around here."
Coming out of a three-hour weather delay was a challenge for every golfer who hadn't made it into the clubhouse when the horn blasted at 1:50 p.m. But Potter took it in stride.
"Actually, when we got called off I was happy to get called off when we did," he admitted. "I had just snapped one in the bunker, had to chip one out and the wind was blowing. So having to get up-and-down from 130 yards, I didn't really want to hit that shot when the wind was blowing 20 (miles per hour) at the time. So I was happy we got a little delay there. But I came back and actually made par so that was good. I got off to a good start and made some birdies coming in so I was just happy to finish strong."
Potter's finish was the best ever for a past Greenbrier Classic champ, in a PGA TOUR FedExCup event that just completed its fourth tournament.
In fact, the two other former Greenbrier Classic champions were in the field this week. Stuart Appleby, the 2010 winner, did not make the cut, posting a 70 and 71 on Thursday and Friday. Appleby failed to make the cut in 2011 and 2012 as well.
Scott Stallings, the 2011 champion with a 10-under score and a playoff win, finished this year at 6-under, going 70-67-67-70 for the week. He finished with a T56 last year, at 2-under.

Way We Make Progress Against Disease
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research remains
committed to improving the oral, dental and craniofacial health of our
Loan Repayment Programs
March 2007By the late 1980s, NIDCR scientist Dr. Bruce Baum was frustrated. He had been searching for new drugs and other treatments that might help restore adequate salivary flow in people whose salivary glands had been damaged by radiation treatment for cancer. Yet, despite all of his hard work, Baum said he had not come close to solving the problem. That's when he decided to turn to gene transfer, sometimes called gene therapy. If a fluid-transporting gene could be transferred into the damaged glands, he could potentially restore some degree of salivary flow and secretion into the mouth. According to Baum, the big question was: How would he deliver a gene into a salivary gland? The answer came to him several weeks later when he realized it might be possible to put a gene and its viral vector into a syringe and infuse them directly into the gland through its opening in the mouth. After more than a decade of systematically working out the science of gene transfer to the salivary glands, Baum and colleagues are ready to move the science into the clinic. The Inside Scoop recently met with Dr. Baum and talked to him about dry mouth in recovering cancer patients and the design of his upcoming clinical trial.
That's essentially right. The radiation kills the tumor cells but unfortunately also affects the nearby salivary glands. The damaged glands become less permeable to the water that naturally flows through them and either will yield less saliva or stop working altogether. If the damage is extensive, cancer patients will notice a persistent and irritating dryness in their mouths called radiation-induced xerostomia, or, more colloquially, dry mouth. It's a very common problem. A survey of head and neck cancer patients comes to mind that was published a few years ago. It found that 65 percent of long-term survivors - defined as living three years post radiation therapy - had moderate to severe xerostomia. 1
There's an old Blues song titled, "You don't miss your water til the well runs dry." That's certainly true with saliva. Most people don't think of it until the moisture in their mouths runs dry, and that's what makes xerostomia so irritating. Recovering cancer patients wonder, "Why is my mouth so dry?" But the dryness is more than an irritation. It can be a significant problem that impairs a person's ability to chew, swallow, and even speak. In addition, dry mouth can lead to oral infections, such as tooth decay and Candidiasis.
For some people, yes. If tissue remains that is water permeable and capable of secretion, compounds such as pilocarpine can stimulate the glands to produce more saliva. The problem is most patients have salivary glands that have stopped working.
The radiation leaves the glands water impermeable. Let me explain. Salivary glands kind of look like a bunch of grapes attached to a stem. The grapes are called acinar cells. In people with working salivary glands, water enters the acinar cells, where myriad proteins are added, and the mixture then flows through the stems for further processing and ultimately exit into the mouth as saliva. In most head and neck cancer patients, the radiation has wiped out the acinar cells. They're left with a network of water-impermeable stems that have no salivary flow. There is nothing left to stimulate.
That's our hope. The gene transfer that we have developed builds on the fundamental fact that the stems, or ducts, are water impermeable in the irradiated glands. We think that with gene transfer, the ducts will have the potential to move fluid and secrete it into the mouth.
Correct, it's that concept everybody learns in junior high school. Water naturally follows an osmotic energy gradient, flowing from areas of low to high salt concentration. We believe the irradiated duct cells can generate such an osmotic gradient. Over the last decade or so, I've worked with scientists in our laboratory to determine whether transferring a gene into the cells that line the ducts can take advantage of the ability of these cells to generate an osmotic gradient and secrete saliva into the mouth. In August 2006, we received approval from the Food and Drug Administration to conduct the first gene-transfer study in people with radiation-induced xerostomia.
The gene is Aquaporin-1. It encodes a large protein that transports fluid by forming pores, or water channels, in the cell membrane. Our hope is the transferred gene will produce reasonable levels of the aquaporin-1 protein in duct cells, setting in motion a therapeutic domino effect. That is, the aquaporin-1 protein will open up water channels in the duct cells. That will allow the very rapid movement of water through the duct in response to the osmotic gradient that we believe can be generated.
An adenovirus. It's a common respiratory virus that has been used in gene transfer studies for many years. The virus has been modified and won't make a person sick.
It will be simultaneously a Phase I and II study, which is quite commonly done today. As part of the Phase II component, we will collect some efficacy data. By that, I mean we will measure whether salivary fluid output improves in the patients and, in turn, if they notice that their mouths feel moister and less dry.
The study will enroll 15 to 21 patients.
Well, in theory, they could live anywhere. But the patients will stay in the hospital here in Bethesda at least for the first three days. They must be back here on Day 7 and 14. If people were to come from the West Coast, they would probably have to stay in the area for an extended period. That could be a logistical problem. We will track the patients on Day 28, Day 42, and so on for a full year. If the FDA decides that they should be followed longer, we'll do so.
Absolutely. First, unlike most internal organs, a salivary gland is not critical for life. Should a problem arise, people will continue to survive with low levels of saliva. Second, we have direct access to the gland. Its opening is right there in the mouth, and we can infuse the Aquaporin-1 gene directly into a major salivary gland. There is no need for anaesthesia or surgery.
We'll use a single parotid gland. The parotid gland is the largest of the three major salivary glands. If you touch the side of your face, the parotid gland is located under the skin between the jawbone and the lobe of the ear.
In theory, yes. Practically speaking, no. Adenoviruses are non-integrating viruses. Secondly, because a fibrous capsule surrounds the salivary gland, the vector is essentially walled off from the rest of the body. One of the things we did in our animal studies is look for the vector throughout the body. In rats, the glands aren't as well encapsulated as they are in humans or primates. The animals eat hard chow, so you tend to see the virus in their mouth but it doesn't spread throughout their body.
That is correct. They had no tumors anywhere.
We hope to restore 70 to 80 percent of normal salivary flow. Based on our earlier studies with miniature pigs, we saw significant increases in salivary flow on days 3 and 7. By day 14, it was, on average, a little above background. We had expected it to decrease by days 14 to 21. Then comes the obvious question: What next? You can't give the virus again because the patients will have raised antibodies against it.
We have another vector called an adeno-associated virus, or AAV. In contrast to adenovirus, AAV lasts a very long time and provides quite stable gene transfer. In mice, it can last essentially as long as the animals are alive, which was up to two years.
To err on the side of caution. This study marks the first time that a viral vector will be delivered into a human salivary gland. Secondly, because our research to date has been conducted in animals, we have not yet demonstrated that radiation-damaged salivary duct cells in people can generate an osmotic gradient and support fluid flow. The adenovirus is essentially self limiting and will be removed from each patient by their immune system. If, by chance, the strategy doesn't work, I didn't want to have patients with a useless gene-transfer vector in their bodies indefinitely.
Well, no. It's actually an interesting point. If this works, we could say that the Aquaporin-1 strategy works in humans. That is, the physiology of duct cells is such that they could generate an osmotic gradient. The strategy would be to go to an adeno-associated virus vector for long term expression as a Phase I/II study. If that works, the goal would be to advance to a Phase III clinical trial.
Thanks. Let me just say, this study represents a start. It's a very good start, though, based on solid science. I hope other research groups will take note of salivary gene transfer and continue to develop it even further. The salivary glands offer unique therapeutic possibilities that should be more intensively explored, not only by dental scientists but throughout medical research. More importantly, for all of the reasons that I've mentioned, it would be a big win for recovering cancer patients who are forced to battle radiation-induced xerostomia.

The softball team isn't used to having to rally to win games, but the Raiders certainly showed there was no quit in them Saturday night.
Hillsborough rebounded from a two-run, fifth-inning deficit, scoring the tying run in the bottom of the seventh, and mounted another comeback with two in the bottom of the ninth after trailing by a run, as the Raiders captured their second straight Somerset County Tournament title, 6-5 over Bridgewater-Raritan at the Nap Torpey Athletic Complex.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Bridgewater-Raritan (16-7) 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 1 5 12 5 Hillsborough (16-2) 0 2 0 0 1 0 1 0 2 6 10 0
Junior right fielder Lauren Panek proved the catalyst for the Raiders, scoring the tying run in the bottom of the seventh, as she used her speed to score on a four-base error. Panek, who was named the game's MVP, added the winner in the bottom of the ninth, singling and coming home on Alison Shimko's RBI-single.
"When she [Cheryl Iaione coaching third base] just kept rounding her hand, I knew I had a chance and I just went with all [my speed]," said Panek, who was named the game's most valuable player. "We needed to win and I knew I had to do whatever it took. So I just ran as fast as I could when I saw the opportunity."
Panek alternates in right field with junior Anglea LoBrutto, and it was just the luck of the draw that Panek found herself in the starting lineup Saturday.
But Panek's platoon-mate also had her opportunity, and came through, as LoBrutto delivered a pinch-hit RBI single in the fifth inning to cut a two-run Raiders deficit in half.
"Angela LoBrutto and Panek are so neck-in-neck, and the only way I could pick Lauren tonight was because it was her turn," Iaione said. "I told Angie she was going to be big at some point, and if there was a runner in scoring position I was going to have her hit. In that other instance, Lauren's speed, obviously, gives us something Angie wouldn't have given us."
"I was hoping, of course, that I would start," Panek said. "But I knew whoever started it would be good, as long as I had my opportunity."
Hillsborough got things started with two runs in the bottom of the second inning, taking advantage of Bridgewater-Raritan miscues and a big clutch hit by Emma Hornich.
Shimko and pitcher Brittany Ksiezopolski each reached on errors to start the frame—two of the five miscues the Panthers committed Saturday—before senior catcher Alex Wells bunted the runners to second and third. Hornich then crushed a pitch to deep center field for a two-run double to give the Raiders a 2-0 lead.
Despite Bridgewater-Raritan tallying four runs on six hits in the top of the fifth inning, Hillsborough did not relent, getting a run in the bottom of the frame on LoBrutto's pinch-hit.
With one out in the bottom of the seventh, Panek tapped one out in front of the plate, but a throwing error resulted in the ball landing more than 200 feet from home plate near the right-field fence and sent Panek off to the races around the bases and home with tying run.
In the bottom of the ninth, after Bridgewater-Raritan took a 5-4 lead, it was center fielder Kristi Ann Ivone who got the rally started, blasting a triple to the left-field fence on a two-strike offering.
"I had two strikes on me, so I knew I had to get something," Ivone said. "We needed a person on, obviously, so I just choked up and hit it. I saw it go over the shortstop, but I didn't see it go [past the left fielder]. I just ran as hard as I can and got as many bases as I could."
With Ivone on third, Panek reached on an infield single, bringing up Alexis Pezza,
who singled to shortstop to tie the game.
After a strikeout, Denise Acone reached on an error to load the bases, before Shimko smacked one to right-center field to win it.
The game's 11 runs were the most in the county final since 1993, as the teams combined for 22 hits.
Raiders ace Brittany Ksiezopolski allowed five earned runs on 12 hits, but she walked just one and struck out nine to pick up her 16th victory of the season.
Still, the game was another in a long line of classics in the SCT championship game, and this one gave the Raiders their fifth title since 2003.
"These kids, they refuse to lose, they refuse to give up," Iaione said. "That's been our trademark and this was a good opportunity to see that. I always tell them that good teams find a way to win.
"We battled back from two down, and we hadn't had to do that this year, so it showed a lot of resiliency. Bridgewater played a heck of a game, give them a lot of credit, they gave us everything we could handle. But I could not be prouder of this group of kids, right here."

There is strong sentiment within the Marlins organization to take a college position player with their first pick the sixth overall in next months amateur draft.
With five of the first 80 picks in the draft, the Marlins have a chance to continue adding to their stockpile of young talent in the wake of the teams roster selloff from last year.
And while the Marlins have usually tended to favor pitching in the draft, their greatest organizational need at the minor- and major-league levels is offense, even with sweet-swinging Christian Yelich tearing it up at Double A Jacksonville.
The Marlins, as well as owner Jeffrey Loria, also prefer someone who can help them sooner rather than later.
Given all that, dont be surprised if the Marlins select one of two college third baseman San Diegos Kris Bryant or North Carolinas Colin Moran if either is available at the sixth pick.
ESPN analyst Keith Law calls Moran the best pure hitter in the college ranks, while Bryant is one of the top nations top college sluggers. Another option is University of New Mexico third baseman D.J. Peterson, who is expected to convert to first.
Most draft experts expect pitchers Mark Appel and Jonathan Gray to be taken with the first two picks, which belong to Houston and the Chicago Cubs, while Bryant is also ranked in the top five on most mock draft boards.
If both of the third basemen have been taken by the time its their turn to pick, the Marlins could also go with right-handed pitcher Braden Shipley out of the University of Nevada and use their other early picks on position players.
Mathis activated
Being a catcher, Jeff Mathis is used to pain. He has had his face and wrists broken during the course of his catching career.
But nothing quite prepared Mathis for the pain he experienced after having his collarbone broken by a Matt Holliday foul ball on the second day of spring training.
There was a week and a half where I couldnt get out of the recliner because of the pain, said Mathis, 30. I made my way to the field for maybe 30 or 45 minutes a day. But then it was straight back to the recliner because any movement, like moving my left hand, hurt.
After nearly three months of healing and getting back into baseball shape, Mathis is out of the recliner and back in the fold for the Marlins, who brought him off the disabled list on Tuesday before opening a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds.
Hopefully its the start of guys coming off the DL and good things to come down the road, manager Mike Redmond said.
• Even though they are not obligated to pay Austin Kearns while he is on the restricted list, the Marlins are doing so anyway, according to sources.
Kearns left the team to attend to family medical issues in Kentucky. Kearns is making $700,000 this season.
Coming up
Wednesday: Marlins RHP Alex Sanabia (2-5, 4.85 ERA) vs. Cincinnati Reds RHP Mike Leake (2-2, 4.32), 7:10 p.m., Marlins Park.
• Thursday: Marlins RHP Jose Fernandez (2-2, 3.65) vs. Reds RHP Mat Latos (4-0, 3.04), 7:10 p.m., Marlins Park.
• Scouting report: Sanabia took the loss when he faced the Reds in Cincinnati on April 21, allowing five runs on six hits. The defeat marked the start of his current four-game losing streak.

DURHAM — As the State Bureau of Investigation continues its investigation into a Durham police officer's fatal shooting of a man on July 27, an N.C. Central University law clinic has done an examination of its own.
Jose Adan Cruz Ocampo, 33, was shot and killed on a Saturday morning two weeks ago by a police officer who responded to an emergency dispatch about a stabbing.
Officers were called at 8:41 a.m. to an East Durham neighborhood and found a man bleeding profusely and cut on his face in the 700 block of Park Avenue, off Holloway Street. Police said they thought a broken bottle had been the weapon.
Durham police chief Jose Lopez told a reporter for The Herald-Sun newspaper this week that the officer who opened fire on Ocampo shot multiple times after the man failed to put his hands up in the air and took a knife out of his pocket.
The officers had approached Ocampo initially, Lopez said, to find out if he had seen the stabbing.
Scott Holmes, a longtime Durham defense lawyer on his second day on the job Friday as director of The Civil Litigation Law Clinic at NCCU, said a private investigator working with the clinic interviewed witnesses who offered a different scenario.
Lopez told The Herald-Sun that when Durham officer R.S. Mbuthia shot Ocampo, the two were several feet apart. Ocampo, according to the Herald report, had pulled a knife from his pocket and approached the officer.
Private investigator Steve Hale, a former head of the Wake County sheriff's homicide department, talked with three witnesses who said that Ocampo was waiting at the front of his home to "talk with officers about a prior altercation."
As three officers approached, according to the witness account offered by the NCCU clinic, one of the police noted that Ocampo had a kitchen knife in his back pocket and announced to his two colleagues the presence of a knife.
The witnesses told the private investigator that Ocampo then took the knife out of his pocket, holding the blade end pointed toward his body and offered the handle of the knife to the officer.
The police, according to NCCU, were yelling in English to the Honduran man to drop the knife. But Ocampo, a native Spanish speaker, did not understand English well, according to the three witnesses who were not police officers. One of the witnesses standing nearby yelled at Ocampo in Spanish to put the knife down, but the officer quickly opened fire, according to the NCCU report.
Death certificate
The Herald-Sun reported that Lopez said the officer shot Ocampo multiple times in the chest, but the death certificate obtained by the NCCU clinic shows that Ocampo died from a "gunshot wound to the head," a significant difference to the police chief's report.
Kammie Michael, spokeswoman for the Durham police department, said Friday the investigation is continuing and that the department's policy is not to comment on ongoing investigations.
"In his statement, Chief Lopez apparently relied only upon the statements provided by the officers involved in the shooting," Holmes said in a statement Friday. "It is disappointing that Chief Lopez would release an incomplete version of events before the finalization of the investigation being conducted by the State Bureau of Investigation and the internal affairs investigation that he said was being conducted by his own department."
After the shooting, Mbuthia was placed on administrative leave with pay as the SBI looks into the case, which is standard procedure in an officer-involved shooting.
Community vigil
Ocampo, the youngest of three brothers, two in this area and one in Honduras, also has a wife and child in Honduras, according to Holmes.
Holmes said because Ocampo was shot by a police officer, his family had not received services typically provided to homicide victims in this area.
"These kinds of cases often end up in litigation," Holmes said Friday. "But what I would love to see is to find a way to resolve this case that's healing for this family, the community and the police officers."
A community vigil is set for 7 p.m. Sunday at 804 Park Ave., Durham, and people are encouraged to bring flowers and candles.
A fund has been set up at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church on West Chapel Hill Street in Durham to help defray the cost of shipping Ocampo's body to Honduras for burial.
