Evan Chambers, a beloved and respected member of the Pirates organization who lost his life far too early last year at the age of 24, will be with the Curve in spirit this season thanks to a good friend.
Keon Broxton went to high school with Chambers in Lakeland, Fla., and the two baseball teammates also were great friends. The news of Evan's passing on Dec. 1 hit Keon hard.
"I was just in complete shock," said Broxton, the Curve's left fielder. "I wasn't expecting that to ever happen. I still battle with it every once in a while thinking about it."
Chambers died in his sleep of unknown causes at his apartment in Tampa, stunning everyone who had grown to know and care about him within the Pirates organization.
He played 31 games for the Curve in 2012 and would have been back in Altoona last year, but he suffered a broken foot and missed most of the season. A third-round draft pick in 2009, Chambers rehabbed his injury and likely would have started this season with the Curve.
As fate would have it, his high school teammate, who also was selected in the third round of the 2009 draft by the Diamondbacks, now finds himself getting ready to play in the same outfield where Chambers played.

Broxton was traded from the Diamond-backs to the Pirates just last week and assigned to the Curve.
To honor his fallen friend, Broxton is wearing No. 53, Chambers' number for most of his pro career. (He wore 39 with the Curve in 2012.)
"We were really close," Broxton said. "He was one of my best friends. I'm just going to play for him now.
"I'm wearing his number this year just so he's out there with me."
That means a great deal to Chambers' mother, Denise.
"A number is a special thing, it's a sacred thing," she said Thursday night from her home in Florida.
She spoke with Broxton by phone this week, and he asked her if she would be OK with him wearing Evan's number in tribute.
"It was a beautiful conversation, and we cried together," Denise Chambers said. "They had a bet together, the two of them, of who was going to make it to the majors first. He told me, and then we both started crying on the phone.
"I told him that I know he's going to make it and that Evan will be there with him. It really got to him when I said that. I told him we loved him and that we would be there to support him and we thought it was wonderful for him to honor his friend in this way."
Broxton was playing winter ball in Australia and could not attend Evan's funeral, but getting to talk with her son's friend this week meant a great deal to Denise Chambers.
"He said he's not good with words, so he didn't know what to say," she said. "So I told him in a situation like this, nobody knows what to say. So just to say hello means a lot. He promised he would stay in touch, and I told him that we support him and encourage him.
"My daughter, Monica, talked to Keon, as well, and told him that he has a heck of a responsibility to continue Evan's legacy because of the respect he had from his teammates. And Keon agreed, and he promised Monica that he would do him proud."
Evan's mother is so grateful her son is remembered with such affection by so many people, and knowing he's still an inspiration to Broxton and others makes her very proud.
Evan's birthday was March 24, near the end of spring training. The day before that, when their exhibition game had been rained out, more than a dozen Pirates minor leaguers took a bus to visit Tampa for a get-together arranged by Evan's mother at his apartment complex in Tampa.
"It was just great to see the guys," Denise Chambers said. "We were thrilled."
The Chambers family also expressed tremendous gratitude for the Pirates and the way the organization has been so considerate since Evan's passing.
"The Pirates organization is second to none," Chambers' father, also named Evan, said. "They are absolutely phenomenal. We are just blown away by the love and the feeling of family. They invited me to go down there and speak to the minor league players, and when we got down there, they handed us a $5,000 check to support the foundation [for disabled kids] that Evan really liked and participated in."
The Pirates plan to hold "Evan Chambers day" in Bradenton for the Marauders' home game July 10.
"His time with the Pirates was the most nurturing coaching and mentoring in baseball that he ever experienced," his mother said. "He loved it there."
Broxton now has a chance to continue his career with the Pirates, and he will be the Curve's starting left fielder. When you see him take the field wearing No. 53, pause for a moment and think of Evan.
As his mother said, a number is a special thing. So is a good friend.

MARTINSBURG - At the request of Martinsburg City Council's budget and finance committee, the president of the Martinsburg-Berkeley County Parks and Recreation Board will call a special meeting of the board next week to reconsider its decision to not host Fourth of July fireworks at War Memorial Park this year.
The budget and finance committee met Thursday with Roger P. Engle, Parks and Rec Board president; Steve Catlett, Parks and Rec executive director; and Martinsburg Police Chief Kevin Miller.
The Parks and Rec Board voted unanimously at its December meeting to not host the fireworks display at War Memorial Park this year as well as to not have any special activities at the park on the Fourth of July, such as entertainment, activities and concessions.
The city has funded the fireworks display for several years and had allocated $10,000 for the display in its 2012-13 budget. The Parks and Rec Board sent a letter to Martinsburg City Council earlier this month informing of their decision.
"The board felt they do not want to sponsor an event that people are telling them they are afraid to bring their families to," Catlett told members of the budget and finance committee. "It bothers us tremendously that people do not want to bring their children to an event we sponsor."
He cited a large fight several years ago, causing officials to stop the fireworks in the middle of the display. Last year, there was a shooting incident during which a young girl, who was an innocent bystander, was wounded.
Apparently, there have been several incidents in the park during the Fourth of July celebrations that have needed police intervention.
"We're on pins and needles all day each year," Catlett said. "It seems to be the place to be, but for wrong reasons."
He said that the fireworks cannot be seen from most of the park grounds because of the large trees and the foliage. The fenced-in area around the pool is the only place in the park where guests can see the fireworks.
Chief Miller said that all the problems with the day are contained to the park.
"We've taken guns off people inside the park," he said. "Violence has increased. The park should be closed off."
Miller later added that his department has no problem with the fireworks or the spectators who park their cars outside War Memorial Park to view the fireworks. It is the crowds that gather in the park ostensibly to watch the fireworks that cause the problems.
"The fireworks won't bother us if the park is closed," he said.
Engle said ending the fireworks at War Memorial has been discussed for several years.
"There were a lot of factors that went into our decision. It was not a knee-jerk reaction. A lot was considered," he told committee members.
Engle said the board's decision was to not be involved in the fireworks display and to treat the Fourth of July as a normal day, closing the park at dusk, and not hosting bands, kids activities and concessions.
"It would be just like the third of July or the fifth of July," Engle said.
However, he agreed to call a special meeting of the Parks and Rec Board to consider the budget and finance committee's request to host the fireworks display for one more year.
Hosting the event would entail getting the license to put on the display, federal inspections, ordering the fireworks, arranging for volunteer technicians to run the show and providing insurance.
The board will meet next week and let the city know what it decides in time for City Council's next meeting, which is Feb. 14.
Fireworks have been held at War Memorial Park since about 1948.

For the price u can't beat it. Great glide and u don't have to use a lot. Wipes off easily. It didn't stain sheets
I am not a big fan of oil, preferring to use a cream instead. But I am using this oil to offer hot stone massages of the back as a treat to finish a massage session. It is odorless so that I can add aromatherapy to it.
I have used Therapro Swedish oil for the past 5 years. I love its versatility. If I apply it lightly, it's wonderful for deep work. With moderate application, it is great for Swedish. It ainks into clients' skin and leaves it soft and pliable. It washes out of sheets fairly easily and leaves no odor.The new formulation, although more greenish, is - in my estimation - even better. The feel is smoother but not oily. Clients have actually commented on how much they like it.
My massage therapist really likes this product. Also uses the Almond Oil.
no quality loss with product, smooth easy application. Recommend for general massage therapy

And no, the song is NOT about baking a cake. He is a Beautiful, and Talented man, who any woman would be lucky to get raped by.

Your sunrise summary of everything you need to know about weather in H-town.
Light rain should give way to a warm and partly sunny day today, with a high in the low- to mid-90s.
Light rain showers are falling across much of Houston this morning as an area of moisture being driven by a low-pressure system moves into the Houston area.
Forecasters with the National Weather Service say the region's rain chances should be considerably lower — near zero — for the rest of the week as high pressure moves into the area. This should lead to partly sunny days with highs in the low- to mid-90s, and lows in the mid-70s.
The big question with Houston's forecast is the development of a tropical system that should move into the Bay of Campeche during the next few days. It appears likely this system will become a tropical depression or storm in the southern Gulf of Mexico.
The question is, will the strong high pressure over Houston, that's expected to remain this weekend, allow moisture from the tropical system this far north? The GFS model brings enough moisture into the area to produce a couple of inches of rain across the area on Sunday and Monday. The European model is quite a bit drier.
Here are some thoughts on the evolution of the Gulf low from Fred Schmude, a forecaster with ImpactWeather:
Based on the latest data we could be looking at a tropical storm in the Bay of Campeche by Thursday or Friday and possibly even a hurricane by the weekend if conditions remain favorable. I think this will be a slow moving tropical system and it will probably eventually make landfall over Northeast Mexico north of Tampico late this weekend or early next week. Farther north, over our area, the weather pattern during the next 7 to 10 days will be strongly dependent on the strength of the upper level high that is forecast to see-saw back and forth across the area.
By Sunday and Monday we'll turn our attention toward the Gulf of Mexico as the above mentioned tropical system makes progress toward the Northeast Mexican Coast. Long range data indicates the upper level high pressure area will break down a bit across our area by next Sunday and Monday which may allow the potential tropical system to track a little farther to the north before making landfall on the Northeast Mexican Coast. Depending on how far north this system tracks and how quickly the upper level high pressure system breaks down will be critical to how much rainfall we see out of this system in the Houston area.
Right now it looks like we'll see a surge of tropical moisture and locally heavy thunderstorms move over the region late Sunday through much of the day on Monday and maybe into Tuesday of next week. By far the heaviest rainfall is forecast to remain over the middle to lower Texas Coast since those area will be closer to the potential tropical cyclone. Overall there still remains quite a bit of uncertainty in regards to the exact track of this potential tropical cyclone, but for now our latest guidance strongly favors an eventual landfall point somewhere over the northeast Mexican Coast in between Tampico and the Mouth of the Rio Grande. Everyone on the Texas Coast will of course need to keep a very close eye on this potential tropical system.
And what are our chances for a cold front any time soon? More from Fred:
As for the timing of our first significant cold front for the upcoming fall season, typically that will occur in between the 20th and 25th of September. Right now based on the latest data we're trending toward a slight delay somewhere in between the 25th and 30th of the month. We'll of course have more on that later in the month as data becomes more refined. Typically the first significant cold front of the season will end the hurricane season on the Texas Coast as upper level westerly winds become more dominant pushing tropical weather east of the region.
It looks like Tropical Storm Humberto could become the season's first hurricane today, and fortunately it's unlikely to affect any land masses. Also, Tropical Storm Gabrielle has formed, and it should move over Bermuda late tonight.
Texans win their game.
Its hard to write a haiku
after staying up.
On this date in 1900 Houston set a daily record for rainfall — 4.22 inches. Can anyone hazard a guess as to why?

Some might call Charles Severance's experience during the past few weeks remarkable. Here in West Virginia we have another word: justice.
Severance, though not even a citizen of our state, received not just the full formality of justice but a spirited, effective defense in our courts.
A few weeks ago, Wheeling police were contacted by their counterparts in Alexandria, Va. The Virginia authorities wanted to talk to Severance about a series of murders. They had reason to believe he was in West Virginia.
Local officers, employing very good police work, quickly found Severance and arrested him. Officially, he was being held on a firearms charge from Virginia.
Virginia officials asked that Severance be extradited. He decided to resist, so court hearings had to be held here.
Because it was found Severance could not afford an attorney, the Ohio County Public Defender's office was told to represent him.
Chief Public Defender Shayne Welling did more than that. He fought hard for Severance, forcing both Ohio County Prosecutor Scott Smith and Virginia authorities to dot all the i's and cross all the t's in their case.
Welling's argument was that the firearms charge was merely a pretext to get Severance back to Alexandria, where the real reason police wanted him was for questioning in the murders. Severance has not been officially accused in those cases.
But Circuit Judge James Mazzone correctly ruled that, in effect, the firearms charge was ample reason to comply with the Virginia extradition request.
Then Welling brought out the big guns: He appealed to the West Virginia Supreme Court. On Tuesday, the court denied Welling's request for a stay of extradition. Severance is expected to be returned to Virginia soon.
There, he - and other people who believe justice for all is more than an empty slogan - will have reason to look back on what happened in Wheeling with gratification (if not, for Severance, joy). At substantial expense and trouble, an out-of-state resident accused by some of being mentally unbalanced received a full measure of justice from West Virginians.
That is something about which we should be proud. Here in West Virginia, the scales of justice - for all - remain balanced.

BEDFORD - There are few nights in high school athletes' careers when they want a win more than senior night. That was obviously true, as well, for Bedford's seniors on Friday.
Hosting Bishop Carroll near the end of what has been a disappointing season, the Bisons took charge on both sides of the ball behind senior leaders Aaron Henry and Ross Howsare and came away with a 19-6 win over the Huskies.
Henry's 134 yards rushing and two touchdowns led the way on offense, while Howsare anchored a defensive line that gave up just 103 total yards.
"It's always nice to finish the last home game with a win," Bedford coach Kevin Steele said. "We've had some tough times here and there throughout the season, but they'll remember this night and they'll be proud of the way they played."
As he has often been during his career, Henry led the Bisons offensively, but Howsare and his fellow linemen blew up the BC attack from the very beginning.
The Bedford D-line spent a lot of time in the Huskies' backfield, stuffing their running attack and giving quarterback David Maruca all he could handle. Maruca was sacked four times and was routinely forced to throw before even dropping back the whole way.
The loss was a tough one for the Huskies (1-8), who were coming off their first win of the season last week at Johnstown.
"Our line got blown out tonight," BC coach Greg Snyder said. "We did not expect that coming into tonight. That took away a lot of our play calling because we were getting pushed into the backfield. We couldn't get pass protection either. We had guys wide open, we just couldn't get our quarterback two second to throw the football.
"It's tough to pass when you don't have more than a second."
The seniors made an impact all night for Bedford, but the Bisons also got a lift from freshman quarterback Austin Montgomery. Making his first start under center because of regular signal caller Henry's nagging injuries, Montgomery - who also handled punting and kicking duties for his squad - may not have been a statistical wonder, but he did well in his first varsity start, rushing for a 15-yard TD in the third quarter.
"Austin could not have done a better job," Steele said. "I'm extremely proud of him. I thought he did a great job managing the game. He did everything we asked of him. He's going to be an outstanding quarterback for the future, and we're very excited with how he played tonight."
Though they're out of the playoff hunt at 2-7, Steele wants his team to buckle down and finish on a high note next week at rival Chestnut Ridge.
"We're still working to improve," he said. "Our kids are still working hard to get better. We have one last game against Ridge, and that will be the end of our season, unfortunately. But that will be a huge game for us, and that will be a great game next Friday night."

I get the message "Choose something else to play" simply because I assume MS was not happy about a video I uploaded. I think I should have just had a warning and not to do it again (don't even know what I did wrong in the first place).
I think it's strange that MS allows you to record any game footage when there are games with really bad foul language and I say something like plonker or c*ap and I get my benefits removed esspecially I had 100% feedback when I was on 360 for about 5-7 years on Xbox Live.
MS can you please sort this out please?
Exactly, I uploaded a file to skydrive, for personal testing & I swore. But it also uploads it to the xbox live community, I think. Its the only explanation I have, since I did not want it on there.
I also contacted Xbox support by phone & this is the first they are hearing of this, the guy said he would have thought it would have been at least a 3 strikes & your out kind deal.
He also said that he thinks this is an error, as my account in in 100% working order with no flags or anything showing. Also I have been a member of Xbox live for 7 years with not one disciplinary action taken agains me.
I called them up as well and the bloke on the other end said I had to post on here about it.
I think it's so over the top considering there are videos on my activity feed of Dead Rising 3 with people being chopped up and Battlefield 3 with the characters of the game saying all the swear words.
Just ridiculous and needs to be sorted for both you and me ASAP.
I have the same problem. Didn't know there actually any rules associated with this sorta thing. Nothing told me I can't swear and such. I only made some clips to show my friends how all this stuff works and now I can't upload anything. Hope they fix this prob ASAP considering it's a cool feature but now can't use because of their lack of tutorials.
You may want to post in here - forums.xbox.com/.../41.aspx
They may be able to give you more details about the suspension including how long it might last for.
Inside Gamer - http://www.insidegamer.net
I did and the Xbox One for suspensions, it's just dafy and it's worse MS are doing nothing about it. Being banned for saying cr*p and plonker on the video stuff is just stupid.
I got it bad enough when I had to go through 3 360's in the last gen.
Agreed, as a Brit those two words are as tame as they get. Young kids say it as an every day occur and not swearing at all.
Shame the policies aren't placed when uploading videos so you are made aware before your first video upload. I can see a lot of players getting caught out by this.
im dealing with the same thing its not fair :(
Me too, however I was out of control in my video. I said f@uck three times in a humorous way :-(
If you guys figure out how long this last for send me a message? I'm having the same exact problem. Said one curse word and cant use these major features. It doesnt say anywhere in the rules anything about profanity. Completely unfair.
Yep. Another one here. Could someone sort this please.
I'm dealing with the same issue, have spoken with a supervisor and two support agents. The supervisor hung up on me and the support agents offered to escalate and have resolved in 2 days. I have posted in the banned forum and had my message ignored and deleted. Still looking for a solution. If i get one i'll update here. This is turning out to be a pretty big problem.
*Update* So I allowed my GF to set up an account and go through logging into her skype and it worked on the xbox. Weird thing is I can still use skype on my computer, so my skype wasn't banned. It appear xbox is just telling me that I'm not allowed to use it through my $529 console. I find this quite disturbing that I have a feature here with no one knowing how this can be used.
is anyone from xbox going to comment on this im a little bit annoyed i said f**k and got banned
I just got a reply from one of the mods telling me that I have a temporary ban (which I knew about) but didn't say anything about for how long or if I can appeal. Great.
If it's a temp ban I'm not as mad. Still mad though. Not even a warning. I'd at least like an estimated time so I know when i'll be able to use those features again. Also, kinda funny that none of the mods are responding to any of these issues. I guess they don't know whats going on. What else is new?

I don't have a life list. I don't even make New Year's resolutions. There are plenty of things I hope to do someday but I feel like if I permanently put them out there then it's pressure and forced and planned and then I will probably dread doing them. I want to be able to buy real art someday, and go to Paris again (and again) and create a spectacular knitting pattern and a million other things but I want those things to surprise me, to sneak up on me, to move easy along the way. Not something I will strike a line through and then on to the next item. Me and my John Lennon ways.
The only thing that would be on my life list is... to not die. It happened upon me suddenly, to find out that I am afraid of dying. Not for what's ahead, but for who I leave behind.
It was Christmas break when I read Jane Eyre for the first time. I didn't leave the living room couch until I finished, yet transported almost out of body, definitely somewhere else. I even remember the cassette tape that was playing over and over- a collection of classical music from Victoria's Secret, I think it was $1 with the purchase of Rose Garden lotion, or maybe it was Strawberries & Champagne. I cried at the end of that book, and would every time I re-read it through the years.
Last year on Christmas Eve I sat in the ER with Carter's severe allergic reaction to a nut in a cookie, and there in triage also discovered he had lice. I could not get the vision out of my head- of their photo with Santa that morning, Carter's head leaned against Santa's. Did we give Santa lice? I've never done so many loads of laundry and I was never so tired in all my life. I honestly didn't think I was going to make it, but I did. Here I am. It's been a year and I still check their heads obsessively. I don't know if I'll ever fully recover.
I've drank and was too busy to taste, I've traveled through time with no recollection of where I've been, I've tripped and tangled, but my regrets are few compared to all the good that I have seen and savored and remembered with fondness.

Mayor Joe Riley and Charleston City Council overruled the city's own Planning Commission on Tuesday, approving a zoning change that clears the way for a new 462-site residential development on Johns Island.
The rezoning is expected to end a years-old lawsuit where the property owners were claiming millions of dollars in damages if they were not allowed a more lenient zoning category.
The decision was not welcomed by all Johns Island residents, some of whom expressed fears about noise and traffic being added to the mostly rural areas around River and Plow Ground roads.
Other opposition came from those concerned about air accidents, contending that building a mix of residential, retail, warehouse and commercial businesses so close to the Charleston Executive Airport will create a community danger if an aviation mishap occurs.
An assisted living site also is planned.
Last month, the Planning Commission voted 6-0 against a zoning change that would move the property up from the city's lowest zoning classification — allowing one unit per 11/2 acres — to a more active Planned Unit Development. The group said the 462-acre development as presented was too big and intense for Johns Island to absorb.
The proposal also seemed to run counter to the city's Urban Growth Boundary, officials said at the time, referring to the line that divides the city's "urban" and more rural classifications.
But Riley and city Planning Director Tim Keane said at the council meeting that the project remains suited for the site, adding that the mix of homes, commercial and warehouse space will also provide a source of jobs in the area. "It's a solid and wise plan," Riley said.
Keane added that the urban growth boundary does not say "no growth" on the Johns Island side of the line, only that what is suggested beyond that line is less than the urban density.
City Council unanimously backed the rezoning, with only Councilman George Mitchell raising a concern about not mandating smaller retail and office space footprints.
Opponents, meanwhile, said the move puts City Hall's push to develop over the wishes of residents and its own review process.
"I thought that the Planning Commission's unanimous recommendation to deny the rezoning was totally disregarded, and not even discussed," said River Road resident Steve Green.
The zoning change was requested by a group of area landowners calling themselves the Wooddale Partnership LLC. One of the property owners is Charleston County Councilman Vic Rawl, who attended Tuesday's meeting.
After the vote he said he was pleased at the outcome and said a lawsuit over the issue should be ending soon.
The lawsuit arose years ago after City Council downgraded the site's earlier zoning after a developer had publicly discussed building up to 800 homes. The property owners lost the early rounds in court but appealed. The case is now before the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, which required the city and the landowners to go into mediation.
The rezoning faces two more readings before becoming formally enacted by the city, which should then put the legal battle to rest.

Erralpha and Gabpa/b specify PGC-1alpha-dependent oxidative phosphorylation gene expression that is altered in diabetic muscle

|Recent studies have shown that genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) exhibit reduced expression in skeletal muscle of diabetic and prediabetic humans. Moreover, these changes may be mediated by the transcriptional coactivator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1alpha). By combining PGC-1alpha-induced genome-wide transcriptional profiles with a computational strategy to detect cis-regulatory motifs, we identified estrogen-related receptor alpha (Erralpha) and GA repeat-binding protein alpha as key transcription factors regulating the OXPHOS pathway. Interestingly, the genes encoding these two transcription factors are themselves PGC-1alpha-inducible and contain variants of both motifs near their promoters. Cellular assays confirmed that Erralpha and GA-binding protein a partner with PGC-1alpha in muscle to form a double-positive-feedback loop that drives the expression of many OXPHOS genes. By using a synthetic inhibitor of Erralpha, we demonstrated its key role in PGC-1alpha-mediated effects on gene regulation and cellular respiration. These results illustrate the dissection of gene regulatory networks in a complex mammalian system, elucidate the mechanism of PGC-1alpha action in the OXPHOS pathway, and suggest that Erralpha agonists may ameliorate insulin-resistance in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
BioMarin Pharmaceutical acquired Zacharon Pharmaceuticals for $10 million up front. The company may make potential additional payments for clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestones. Zacharon is focused on developing small molecules targeting pathways of glycan and glycolipid metabolism.
Zacharon's drug discovery projects include two ongoing lead optimization programs: inhibition of heparan sulfate synthesis for MPS III and other MPS disorders, and inhibition of ganglioside synthesis for diseases such as Tay Sachs and Sandhoff. Zacharon says its SensiPro® platform analyzes specific carbohydrate structures and identifies candidate drugs to treat those conditions.
"Zacharon's lead program, focused on reducing the accumulation of heparan sulfate, offers the exciting prospect of treating both the CNS and peripheral manifestations of MPS III, and potentially other MPS disorders, with an orally bioavailable small molecule," says Hank Fuchs, M.D., evp and CMO of BioMarin. "In general, reducing the synthesis of the target substrate alleviates the burden on the compromised lysosomal system, and this therapeutic approach has been clinically validated with other enzyme inhibitors. Zacharon's deep expertise in glycobiology has generated additional programs for treating lysosomal storage disorders that we expect to progress, and we will leverage that expertise to continue to build BioMarin's existing research and development pipeline into a sustainably leading pipeline."
"The acquisition of Zacharon will further expand our glycobiology expertise and will support our lysosomal storage disease drug development efforts," adds Jean-Jacques Bienaime, CEO of BioMarin. "We are committed to investing in our advancing pipeline, which has evolved through a combination of internal development and targeted acquisitions, such as this."
Bienaime is referring to acquisitions such as BioMarin's 2010 purchase of ZyStor Therapeutics for $22 million up front. ZyStor developed enzyme replacement therapies for lysosomal storage disorders. Earlier that year, BioMarin acquired LEAD Therapeutics, a small private drug discovery and early-stage development company with key compound LT-673, an orally available poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor for the treatment of patients with rare, genetically defined cancers. In 2009, BioMarin bought Huxley Pharmaceuticals, which had rights to a form of 3,4-diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP), amifampridine phosphate, for the rare autoimmune disease Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome.

Stetson University golfer Alessandra Kutz was recognized by the Atlantic Sun Conference on Wednesday with her selection to the 2013-14 All-Freshman Team.
Kutz, a native of Sanford, Fla., was joined on the All-Freshman squad by Linda Dobele from conference champion ETSU, Dulcie Sverdloff from Kennesaw State, and Mercer's Haley Austin and Katy Harris.
Sverdloff was selected as the league Freshman of the Year.
Kutz was the Hatters's second leading scorer during the 2013-14 season despite having surgery during the holiday break. She battled back from the injury to post an overall scoring average for the year of 76.76. She posted one top five finish on the year and had three top 10s.
Kutz posted her low round of the year in her first collegiate event, with a 70 in the final round of the GolfWeek Program Challenge in September. She equaled that score in her second event with a second round 70 at the UNCG Starmount Classic.

LOCKPORT – A former Lutheran school music teacher, whose conviction for sex crimes was overturned by the State Court of Appeals, testified last week that he falsely confessed under police pressure.
Michael J. Solomon took the witness stand in a Niagara County Court pretrial hearing in which defense attorney Glenn Pincus is attempting to invalidate the confession.
Solomon, now 48, was convicted in August 2005 on 23 counts of having sex with a girl younger than 11 between August 1999 and March 2004, and of using her in pornographic photos.
Solomon directed the fourth- through eighth-grade band at St. John and Holy Ghost Lutheran schools in Wheatfield and at night taught trumpet, trombone, saxophone, clarinet and drums at Matt's Music in North Tonawanda. Police said his alleged victim was not one of his students.
He was sentenced to 32 years in prison, but last October, the Court of Appeals ordered a new trial on the grounds that his trial attorney, Assistant Public Defender Michele G. Bergevin, had a conflict of interest because she was representing North Tonawanda Detective Larry Kuebler, one of the investigating officers, in a private legal matter.
Even though the court acknowledged that Bergevin did a good job cross-examining Kuebler during the trial, such a conflict produced an automatic reversal of the conviction.
Besides discussion of the interview between Solomon and Detective Karen Smith, the hearing also featured a recording of two phone calls that the alleged victim made to Solomon on consecutive days in June 2004, under police guidance.
The girl, who is now 22, was attempting to obtain incriminating statements from Solomon. On the witness stand, Solomon said the tape reflects what the caller heard but not what he heard, because he was having poor cellphone reception.
He pointed to the pauses in his side of the conversation and the occasional repetition of what the girl was saying as proof of that.
But most of the hearing before County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas was concerned with a 40-minute interrogation of Solomon by Smith, after a search warrant was brought to the suspect's home by six or seven officers and a police dog.
"They basically circled me like a wagon train from a Western movie," Solomon said.
Once he was taken to Police Headquarters, Solomon quoted Smith as saying, "We can make this easy. Just say you did this. It'll be better for (the girl)."
"I said, 'This is ridiculous. I did not do this,' " Solomon testified.
But he said Smith wore him down, and he said he was worried about his children, one of them autistic, whom he had left at home with no indication of when he might return.
"I wanted to get home to my kids," Solomon told Farkas. So he told Smith, "If you say I did it once, I did it once. If you say I did it 100 times, I did it 100 times."
Smith then left the room and came back with an attorney Solomon didn't know, who told him not to sign anything. He didn't, but he was arrested anyway.
"I would have said anything to get out of that room. They were making awful allegations," Solomon said.
Assistant District Attorney Robert A. Zucco established that Solomon never said he wanted to leave, never asked for a lawyer and never asked for the questioning to stop.
"I was told I had the right to remain silent, but that's not the impression I got," Solomon told Zucco.
Solomon said he told Smith he might have molested the girl "once when I was very, very drunk."
Solomon said Smith told him that police had a dress with DNA on it. "I said, 'Great, that'll clear me.' It turned out that was fictitious," Solomon testified.
As for the taped phone calls, Zucco noted that Solomon is never heard asking the girl to repeat anything.
The tape has Solomon telling the girl several times that he didn't want to talk about these matters over the phone. Zucco accused Solomon of being tight-lipped because he suspected the call might be recorded; Solomon denied that.
The hearing was adjourned until late August, when Pincus may call another witness to the stand.

Student Profile
Andrew Hinton
Pathway to success
Andrew Hinton's Victoria University study pathway from vocational education into higher education enabled him to get credits to fast-track his IT degree.
When Andrew, from Melbourne's western suburb of Newport, graduated from VU's Diploma of Information Technology in 2011, he was given a full year's credit when he enrolled in the two-year Advanced Diploma of Information Technology (Network Security). Then — because of his previous IT studies — when he enrolled in the Bachelor of Information Technology (Networking and Systems Computing), he was given 18 months' credit towards the degree, meaning he only had to complete 18 months of further study to complete his degree.
While at VU, Andrew was hired part time by VU's IT Support under the university's Students as Staff program. Apart from giving him an income while studying, it gave him great exposure to the IT industry before he graduated. He was also a member of the VU student IT team, who took part in Cisco's Netriders International Skills competition. The team came fourth out of more than 30 student teams from universities across Australia and New Zealand.
Andrew, now 28 years old, is currently employed as an infrastructure engineer at Telstra.
'By taking a Victoria University pathway from vocational education into higher education I was able to get credit and fast-track my degree.
My VU courses also made me workforce ready. I have been able to apply everything I learned at VU in my roles at Telstra, from security to networking and now infrastructure engineering. The vendor technologies taught at VU are industry current, and the exposure has given me a head start.'
Andrew's VU education is a great example of how VU pathways can enable a student, regardless of their ATAR score, to achieve their study goals and embark on a great career.

Helps clear up yeast infections fast

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about LoveMyPet Stinky Ear Oil:
My 14 year old Basset Hound has always had trouble with ear infections. This remedy was recommended by a breeder so I gave it a try. It really helped! I used an ear cleaner first, then waited a few hours for the ear canal to dry then added the Stinky Ear Oil. I repeated the treatment twice a week. After 2 weeks, there was a great improvement. It is hard to tell how much had been squeezed into the ear, but otherwise it is very easy to use.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A dog was found at my work and I took him home. I realized his ears smelled really bad so I took him to the vet. They prescribed ear medication and it went away. But then came back. I decided to try a natural route. The ear drops smell nice and my dog's ears don't smell anymore. I definitely will keep using this.
Works better than anything
By keegee
from SC
My dog has 'dumbo' ears and it's easy for him to get ear infections from drinking water. I have tried so many otc remedies and I came across this one and started using it and it works better than anything I have tried. It doesn't bother him as much putting this oil in his ear and it helps keep the infection down and thus the odor away.
No more stinky ears!!!
By Dazey the Puggle
from Oregon
The bad ear smell is pretty much gone. It probably would have gone away quicker if I used it twice a day like the directions say.

Smells great
By Joe Cocker
from New Jersey
Don't think this would be effective longterm on its own but I am using it along with "allergies" liquid and the ear "redness" has subsided and the odor is eliminated. It is however a great ear cleaner.
Works better than meds
By Elkfoxhound
from Virginia
Just as effective as prescribed medicines. Very gentle. My puppy loves it!
LoveMy LoveMyPet Stinky Ear Oil !
By A pug lover
from Houston TX
My elderly pug has had chronic ear infections and very smelly ears for awhile. Other products I've tried have had minimal results. Since using Stinky Ear Oil for the last 3 weeks his ears have completely cleared up and he can actually hear again. I put 2-3 drops in each ear once a day after cleaning them out thoroughly. The oil has a pleasant smell to it and now I am not embarassed when other people get close enough to him to smell him.

Great! Worked no more smelly ears!
By Eve pet lover
from Enfield, CT
Twice a week now kitty has sweet smelling ears. She doesn't like it--but she doesn't like anything in her ears.First application and wow what a difference! I like it because it is natural and nothing to harm her, because she is 12 years old.

Nursing Careers:
Public Health Nursing
Sue Hume, MS, RN, PNP
University of Wyoming School of Nursing
Colorado University
Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) '79
University of Wyoming School of Nursing
Post Master's Nurse Practitioner, '01
Sue Hume worked both as a pediatric nurse practitioner and in public health, so you will find spotlights on her under both nursing career topics. You will also find the information intermixed within each spotlight. Hume also taught on the UW School of Nursing faculty.
What drew you to this career?
I had an excellent clinical experience in Public Health with great instructors. And the director of Public Health got me interested in that career path. I also had two wonderful role models -- Child Health Associates and Pediatricians -- who encouraged me to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner.
How did you prepare for it?
I prepared for both careers but primarily Nurse Practitioner with (again) the help of the two Child Health Associates who spent time giving me "lunch time lectures" and also on the job training. Much of anything learned is "OTJ". It is also imperative to keep on learning--I attended as many conferences as I could, plus read, read, read. I also was never afraid to say I didn't know and asked for help.
What do you like the most about this career?
The independence in Public Health, the ability to help children and their families in both Public Health and as a Nurse Practitioner. It was so enjoyable to watch the children grow. As an instructor, it was rewarding to watch the students grow also, and now to hear about them and see them in their careers.
What are the biggest challenges?
POLITICS. No one told me about that in nursing school! The biggest challenge as a Public Health Nurse was being seen as a "welfare nurse." The biggest challenge as a new NP was acceptance.
What advice would you have for a student interested in this field?
Don't ever give up your dreams, ask questions, and keep on learning.

Shea Wine Cellars Block 31 Pinot noir 2010
$56.95 Regular
Tanzer 93 points
Dark fruit scents mingle with toast and sweet tobacco, signaling the entry into this dark, vivid, and rich 2010 Pinot. Spicy black currant and raspberry picks of hints of coffee and Chinese five-spice blend, before the finish sings with fresh blackberry. I recommend cellaring 2-3 years - it will last much longer. A blend of Pommard and Wadesnwil clones, only 225 cases produced. - Marcus
Tanzer 93 points: Bright ruby-red. Black raspberry, cherry-cola, star anise and violet on the perfumed nose. Pliant, sappy dark fruit flavors are lifted by juicy acidity and gain spiciness with air. Shows very good energy and focus on the finish, which leaves spicecake and dark berry skin notes behind. - J.R.
2008 Vintage
Avalon Exclusive!
Beautifully bright cherry marries fleshy plum, creating a layered, best-of-both-worlds Shea Pinot. The finish finds an ideal harmony of rich and spicy, with cinnamon and thyme accenting the awesome, creamy-textured Pinot fruit. For fans of the previous Shea Pommard and Wadenswil Pinots (no longer made), Block 31 is a wine you'll love. It's a blend of 70% Pommard and 30% Wadenswil clones and we highly recommend it.
First vintage of this wine, made from one section (block) of the vineyard.

EBENSBURG - A Wednesday evening fire destroyed a Laurel Mountain Structures Inc. warehouse along Feather Street next to Martin Oil Co.
The blaze, reported about 6:30 p.m., occurred about one-half mile west of Route 22's interchange with Route 219.
Once firefighters had largely extinguished the flames, Wes Kestermont, Laurel's president and CEO, worked with a small backhoe for more than an hour clearing debris from the mostly metal building.
Article Photos
Photo for the Mirror by John Beale
Fire crews respond to Laurel Mountain Structures Inc. along Feather Street in Ebensburg on Wednesday. Fire destroyed a storage building containing mostly wood and tools.
Much of the contents, he said, had been wood and tools.
Laurel is a log and timber company that also designs log homes.
Matt Rainey, deputy chief of Dauntless Fire Company in Ebensburg, said when metal falls on top of wood, it can trap the fire underneath.
"It'll burn for days," he said, adding the metal needed to be cleared away.
Jerry Burkhart, appointed public information officer for Dauntless, said when firefighters arrived, the building was completely engulfed in flames.
Because the roof was aflame, it was too dangerous to send crew members inside, he said, so companies took defensive and preventative measures to stop the fire from spreading.
Burkhart said a fire marshal had been called in because it was unclear what started the fire.
He said the fire was one of the worst in recent memory for Dauntless. Between 50 and 60 firefighters were on scene representing more than half a dozen area companies.
Kestermont's wife, Tricia, said she was alerted to the fire by the Rev. Drew Walter of Singer Hill Grace Brethren Church.
Walter, who also serves as Jackson Township Fire Company's chaplain, had just finished leading a singing-group practice, of which Kestermont was a member, and was driving home with his wife, Sherry. That's when he saw the fire crews.
"I said, 'That's Wes' place,'" he said, and called to tell them what was happening and to ask whether it was possible that anyone was inside.
He said Kestermont told him it wasn't, and Walter said he was thankful, because the building already was engulfed in flames.
Tricia said although she's still in shock from the fire, she's glad no one was inside.
"Things can be replaced. People can't," she said.
Her daughter, Hannah, 11, said she knew there was some antique furniture in the warehouse that was to go in her bedroom but said she thought her dad had moved some of it earlier that day and it would have been saved from the fire.
Otherwise, she said, "it would be gone, and Mom would still be crying."
By 8:30, only a few fire trucks remained as a crew of roughly 20 continued to help Kestermont clear out what was left of the building. The crews largely had finished at the scene by 10:30 p.m.
Working with the backhoe, Kestermont piled twisted metal scraps from the building's front compartment.
Kestermont said he has insurance, but doesn't know whether it will cover all of the damage.
For now, he said, he just wants to clear out the building.
Along with Dauntless, Cambria Township, Jackson Township, Revloc, Nanty Glo, Summerhill and Colver fire companies were dispatched to the scene, assisted by Ebensburg EMS.
Mirror Staff Writer Kelly Cernetich is at 946-7520.

I was blown away by Hannah Miller's skating. I haven't seen that kind of speed, energy, flow and command over the ice in a very long time. If only she could get some height on her jumps she'd really shake things up.
Ashley peaked in 2012 and even then her difficulty declined compared to 2010. She never could really land a jump on one foot consistently.
Mirai lost all her charisma and (ad nauseum) she just can fully truly rotate the triples. It's a shame because the spins used to be spectacular.
Frank ruined Gracie's raw power and fierceness. The trade off for an Ice Princess are the huge jumps she used to have. He really watered her down.
Take Hanna Miller's flow and speed, add Gracie's huge jumps, Carolina Zhangs pearl spin of 2010, Alissa's looks and incredible spins as well and the U.S. would have another Olympic Gold Medalist.
That's the problem. There are a number of ladies who have one special talent (like Caroline's pear spin), have one good year but can't do it again (Alissa), or seem to lose something in transition to seniors.
Very interesting take on Gracie Gold. I never saw what was so great about her, actually. To me she's a generic, top level skater--nothing unique in style, music, etc. She's good, to be certain, but I never got the hype or saw this "raw power." Hope it comes back someday.
I mean.....is Ashley Wagner really any worse than Jill Trenary? Holly Cook? Nancy "elected to do a double" Kerrigan? I agree that Ashley is not spectacular, but she is a very solid, complete skater. The problem is that the field is just deeper than it used to be, and the technical requirements are getting more difficult. The U.S. ladies have some catching up to do to match the Asian phenoms, but all is not lost.
I agree on the Mirai front. I was a bit baffled by her standing ovation at Nationals. She has become quite sluggish and stiff. I'm just not going to get excited about a skater who sacrifices her choreography and transitions in favor of landing the jumps.
As far as original post goes about champions not skating like Ashley as Nationals............I have to strongly disagree. Once upon a time judges were more willing to put the "right" skaters on the podium no matter what. It didn't matter that Caryn Kadavy bombed the free skate at 1988 Nationals. The judges did what they needed to do to give her the bronze. Watch Nancy Kerrigan's gold medal free skate from 1993 Nationals to see the sorriest performance by any U.S. National champion. At least things have become slightly more transparent.
I felt the same way about Mirai's standing ovation. I was at Nationals in the front row and watched Mirai's blank-faced, lifeless FS and was astonished when the audience stood up and applauded. Yes, she landed jumps, but there were SO many places where she just stopped and posed, and there was no choreography to speak of. Mirai cracked a smile only when the performance was over.
Speaking as one who stood up when Mirai finished her LP at Nationals - I did it because I was happy that finally she had put 2 skates together without landing on her butt and giving up!
Hannah has been off the ice due to injury for much of the fall. For her to come back with that kind of performance was terrific for her. Her jumps have never been huge, even before her injury, though and this needs to be resolved if she's going to take the next step.
Some of the coaches from our rink were at Nationals (for their Intermediate Pair team, so no horse in the Championship Ladies event) and were suprised at how close it was points-wise between Polina and Mirai. They thought that there should have been a bigger gap in Polina's favor because Mirai was slower and had limited choreo and transitions and they felt Polina had way better ice coverage to go with that big TES mark in comparison.

A statement released Sunday by her publicist to the Associated Press said the event was hosted by the China National Petroleum Corp. and wasn't a political event.
However, the country's leader, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, did attend. Berdimuhamedow has been criticized for oppressive rule by human rights organizations. Human Rights Watch describes Turkmenistan as "among the most repressive in the world."
After a United Nations visit last month, Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights Ivan Simonovic said the country had made progress in the area of human rights, but "a lot more work is needed to complete this process and to ensure practice is in line with international standards."
Lopez's publicist says the event was vetted by Lopez's staff: "Had there been knowledge of human rights issues any kind, Jennifer would not have attended."
The birthday serenade was a last-minute request made by the corporation to Lopez before she took the stage, and she "graciously obliged," the statement said.
Lopez has no other performances scheduled in the country, her publicist said. Her performance fee wasn't disclosed.
