LOCKPORT – The only contested races for local offices in Niagara County on Tuesday were town justice contests in Porter and Royalton, both won by Republicans.
In Porter, Wayne D. Pollow, a fire police lieutenant for the Ransomville Volunteer Fire Company, defeated Patrick F. Stack, a Niagara Falls detective, 1,702 to 1,408, in complete but unofficial returns provided by the Niagara County Board of Elections.
In Royalton, Laura A. Wagner, an attorney for the Niagara County Social Services Department, won in her first bid for elected office. She defeated Town Councilman James G. Budde, a member of the Independence Party who ran on the Democratic and Conservative lines, 1,511 to 1,143. Former Justice Deborah A. Carpenter, a Republican running on the Independence line, garnered 256 votes.

Sam Maguire | Freshman | Feb. 1
One word can describe the feeling of playing against Syracuse: honor. It was a huge honor to play against such a highly ranked team. For Stetson, a second year program, to be one of 17 teams to play against Syracuse was an awesome opportunity. I was so excited to see that we were playing Syracuse when coach announced it. I never thought for a second that I would get the chance to play against them. It never really hit me that we were playing them until I was running with them. It was also an honor to be able to play the game at ESPN's Wide World of Sports. The game being at ESPN's World Wide of Sports was something I never thought would happen either. The whole experience of playing against Syracuse at Disney World is something I will never forget.
The day of the game was all about excitement! I was so excited to be able to play my first Division 1 game against Syracuse. The moment I stepped on the field and lined up next to a Syracuse player was an incredible moment. Everyone on the team had this motivation to give it their all on the field and that showed throughout the game. The game against Syracuse was fast paced and there was so much intensity. It was certainly a learning experience for me and everyone else on the team. The game showed that we, as a team, have the potential for a great season. The game against Syracuse prepared and taught us something for our upcoming games. This learning experience was fun, exciting, memorable, and incredible.
On top of playing against Syracuse, I also got the chance to watch the national team play against Maryland. I caught the game, also at Wide World of Sports, with my family. The game was so interesting to watch. It was amazing to watch so many good lacrosse players come together to play a team from my hometown. I loved to watch Maryland play and watching them play against the national team was an added bonus. The experience was amazing and I learned so much just from watching. It is another moment I will ever forget.
The opportunity of watching the national team was one of the best moments in my lacrosse career. The experience of watching the national team gave me the inspiration to know that that if I continue putting forth hard work, I have the ability to become great. The whole experience all together is the one of the greatest learning experiences I ever had. It is such an honor to be on a team where this can happen.
Noelle Morabito | Sophomore | Jan. 21
Growing up in Rochester, New York I have been exposed to many amazing colleges around the area. Although Syracuse is about an hour away from my house, now, going to school all the way down in Florida, it feels like it is just down the street from where I grew up.
I have been to the dome a few times for football and basketball games. I can't imagine what it would feel like to play in the dome, because when it gets packed, it gets loud!
Syracuse has always had an amazing lacrosse program. For Stetson this is just our second year together as a team, and I never thought that we would have the opportunity to play Syracuse! I figured that they were up in New York and we were down here in Florida, so it would never get worked into the schedule.
When Coach Moore told me that we were going to play Syracuse at ESPN's Wide World of Sports, I screamed I was so happy! Not only because Syracuse is basically from my hometown, but also because we get to play a top five team in the country. It will be a tough game that night but I know it will be so much fun no matter what the score is because there is a large amount to learn from our opponents and how to become better players.
This game will set up the rest of our season because it will give us all the push we need to become better and become an even bigger threat in conference.
I can't wait to see other incredible lacrosse teams while we are participating in the Champions Challenge, like top 20 teams and the US National team. Watching them play makes me want to drive to become better. Those types of players, whether they want to be or not, are very inspirational to watch.
We need to create an image of what we want to be like as a team and strive for that so we can have a successful season. The entire team is counting down the days until we start the season against Syracuse and for the rest of the season.
Mallory Tluchowski | Sophomore | Jan. 16
Anticipation! Excitement! Nerves! All immediately rush to me when I think of the 2014 season. This second NCAA Division I season for us and our program has so much promise. We as individuals, as a team, and as a family have grown immensely not only since this time last year, but also since the beginning of our fall season.
Over winter break, I had many goals, but one that really motivated me each and every day, was simply to make that day better than the last. To improve everyday. If it was a sprint, to improve my times, if it was a lift, to improve my form and technique, or to push myself to do another rep. And even on rest days, to reach out to my teammates, to do some extra rehabilitation, or do stick work. Everyday was essential; I couldn't let one single day be a waste. Four weeks went by so fast. The motivation to get better each day, made every one of those days important.
Motivation over break also came from my teammates. As cheesy as it may sound, inspirational quotes, pictures, texts, tweets, and even snap chats that my teammates and I shared over the month pushed me even harder. Through the runs, in my head, I could hear my teammates screaming my name to go harder and not give up, to go that extra mile. When it came to lifting, there was no doubt who was in my head - Coach Lokey. You just can't ignore that voice. Coach Lokey, our head strength and conditioning coach, has a special way to pull out the "inner-gorilla" in you and the power to push it to levels you've never been before. I found him in every workout, pushing me to go harder, and perfect every rep. Then there was Coach Moore and Coach Dipper; everyday there was an inspring post or picture to our team Facebook page that they shared with us in which we could all relate to in our training. They gave so many powerful words of encouragement. There was no way I could not train over break!
As we return for the start of the 2014 season there is so much to look forward to, playing underneath the lights in our beautiful facilities (we now have night practices and more night games), game prep, awesome gear, new sticks, bus rides, team meals, game day, wearing my jersey, eye black, home and away games (aka Christmas), screaming the cheer, tailgates, and just spending more time together as a team with more practices and team events. We have such a unique group and I really do have a bond with each one of my teammates. How could you not be excited to play the game you love with the people you love? I'm just getting fired up thinking about it!!
Our game schedule is any lacrosse player's dream. With 12 home games in beautiful, sunny Florida, a trip to New York, South Carolina, Michigan, and Georgia, with an opener against nationally ranked Syracuse at the ESPN Wide World of Sports, and that's just to name a few highlights! The caliber of teams we have the honor to play is amazing!
This spring, my goal is to be of any service I can be to the program, be it as support, extra workouts, motivation, or just an extra hand, I'm there. Though this is a program built because of a game, it's more then just the game. It's doing whatever it takes for each other to bring us together to that next level in the game: to re-defend on attack, to go over on defense for a tired midfielder, to help double team, to draw a double, to pass off to an open teammate, or just to set picks. Anything, I'm your girl.
All in all, I know my teammates and I worked hard over the winter break and I couldn't be more excited and more proud of the growth and hard work everyone has put in for this season! Go HATTERS!

Moments earlier, he had spied a gangly rosemary bush growing close to the sidewalk. With a furtive glance around and a guilty smile, he reached through the wrought-iron fence and snapped off a spiky stem of the herb, crushing the leaves with his fingers and inhaling the piney aroma.
They are purveyors of Southern food, nationally known food writers, cookbook authors, television figures and trumpeters of Lowcountry cuisine. And they, brothers Matt Lee and Ted Lee, are petty thieves.
Not that anybody much minds, at least in downtown Charleston, where they grew up on Rainbow Row. The Lees know many of the people from which they lift jewels of food, primarily fruits and nuts and perennial herbs that are tucked away in back or side yards, but also irresistibly available in the public domain.
Like the "chicken" mushrooms, actually a type of bracket fungi, found growing in the live oak trees in a park north of the Charleston Museum. "I'm not supposed to tell you that," Lee says of this secret spot. "It's the only wild mushroom besides chanterelles that I have the confidence to pick and eat."
Finding mulberries, loquats and kumquats and the like in their midst as teens laid the foundation for the Lees' livelihood as adults. Those discoveries tuned their tastebuds to things they otherwise might not have eaten. They also plugged the brothers into what they call an "underground economy" in which friends trade sources with great glee – "I'll tell you where a huge fig tree is, you tell me where you found your persimmons!"
"Holy City Foraging" is one of the many aspects of Lowcountry living that they relate in their newly published cookbook, "The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen." Threaded with a narrative both personal and historical — one that offers a delicious insider's perspective — its 100 recipes are a treasure trove of familiar ingredients.
Among the 240 pages are comfort foods such as smothered pork chops and fried chicken, "tribute" dishes that include Henry's Cheese Spread, classics like Shrimp Supreme from "Charleston Receipts" and those that reach deep into Charleston's culinary past, such as syllabub, a dessert of whipped cream and Madeira that dates back to the 1700s.
There are recipes, too, that bear the Lees' signature twists, including Smoked Egg Salad Toasts, Sweet Potatoes With Sorghum Marshmallows and Grapefruit Chess Pie. In the Drinks chapter, those with a thirst for inventiveness will delight to the likes of Muscadine Sangria, Loquat Manhattan and Kumquat-Chile Bloody Mary.
All along, there are stories. The brothers recount the well-publicized 1951 visit of New York Herald Tribune food editor Clementine Paddleford, the start of G&M Cafe on Broad Street, the Magwood family of shrimpers. And even the rogue guinea fowl of Lamboll Street (no recipe included).
"Here, Charleston is the star," says Matt, describing the difference between this cookbook and the previous two. "This is the first cookbook without us on the cover. We just wanted to express Charleston in cookbook form as best and as vividly as we could."
To that end, he says, they did "a ton of interviews" and buried themselves in research, such as digging into the archives at Middleton Place. There they uncovered convincing evidence that the "Tomato Sauce" recipe found in Sarah Rutledge's 1847 cookbook "The Carolina Housewife" came from Paolina Middleton, the Italian woman who wed Rutledge's cousin Arthur Middleton in 1841.
Matt, 43, and Ted, 41, always write in the royal "we" voice, but the brothers are very distinct personalities.
As home cooks, "Matt is a much more intuitive chef, he's a farmers market buyer. He likes to go and see what's there and get inspired," says Ted, who lives in New York with his wife, an artist. "I much prefer to have a shopping list. I may depart from it but usually I don't. I'm like the one that goes to six different markets to find the right shrimp. … I'm a recipe follower."
"He loves the comfort of a script and a script throws me off," adds Matt, chiming in on a conversation taking place by speaker phone in their no-frills office —warmed only by a space heater — in the Confederate Home on Broad Street. Matt lives full-time in Charleston with his wife and two young sons.
Despite Americans' time-crunched lives, both see the interest in home cooking on the rise, although playing out differently than in the past.
"In the past five years, I think home cooks are more interested in sources," Ted says. "Where you get it has become part of the conversation."
Compared to the era of "Charleston Receipts," adds Matt, a greater variety of people are cooking, from elderly men to kids. "They really didn't cook that often back then."
It's not just putting food on the table these days; cooking is considered a form of entertainment, Matt says. "An alternative to going to the movies on Friday night ... getting messy in the kitchen."
With the growth of Charleston's restaurant industry, are the city's chefs becoming the new standard-bearers of the cuisine?
The Lowcountry has nothing to fear from that expansion, Ted maintains. Most importantly, the chefs are employing local sources of fresh ingredients, although sometimes in new ways. Yet culinary traditions like oyster roasts and tea rooms remain strong among the resident population.
"Charleston is not just a sophisticated restaurant town but a sophisticated home cooking town," Matt says.
The brothers also are heartened by the emergence of young independent farmers in the area in recent years. "We can only assume the best," Matt says. "That they will mature, get winnowed out by experience; the hardiest will survive, flourish and become the next generation of farmers." While the will is there, he says, the real question is whether there will be real estate affordable for anyone to farm.
The shrimping industry, another backbone of culinary tradition, is in a more precarious situation, they say. It's dependent on the price of gas, but there also may be an unexplained biological component, Matt says. In shrimping's heyday, there were 350 boats or so working the Carolina coast, and now there might be 65. "And now there is less shrimp than there was then."
At the same time, other fisheries show promise for the future, they learned while writing the book. Mahi, for one, is exceptionally sustainable because of its fast growth and maturity. "I happen to love it, and it's available here," Matt says. The book includes a recipe for Cornmeal-Crusted Mahi With Jerusalem Artichoke Tartar Sauce.
As for another future, the foraging of food and the sharing of it among neighbors, the Lees see no signs of that abating. It continues not only as part of Holy City hospitality, but for practical reasons, too.
"The thing is, if you have one of those trees, whether it's a pecan tree in a good year or a kumquat, you need to get rid of that stuff or it's going to be garbage on your lawn," Matt says. "You don't get a choice. You give it away or find a happy home for it."

A torched drum set in a room at Elk Grove's Monterey Trail High School has law officers labeling a section of the school a crime scene, said a Sacramento County Sheriff's Department lieutenant.
Sacramento firefighters responded to reports of a fire inside the performing arts area at Monterey Trail High School Friday morning.
The fire is considered suspicious because a window was broken in the same building where the fire was.
"Also, drum sets do not set themselves on fire," said a sheriff's lieutenant.
The school is on Power Inn Road in Elk Grove.

Tagalog is one of the major languages spoken in the Philippines whose population is now 100 million. It is the native tongue of the people in the Tagalog region in Central Luzon. It was the basis of the national language from 1937 to 1972 (renamed Pilipino in 1959) and some Filipino language experts argue that Tagalog is, actually, the base for Filipino—the current national language and national lingua franca. If that is the case, Tagalog/Filipino would have the greatest number of speakers among over a hundred languages spoken in the archipelago, both as a first and as a second language.
The Department of Asian Studies offers Tagalog/Filipino language instructions at various levels beginning, intermediate, and advanced. The beginning courses involve thorough grounding in basic speaking and listening skills with an introduction to reading and writing. The intermediate and advanced levels develop all four language skills speaking, listening, reading and writing. Directed studies may also be arranged on a specialized basis to address particular student needs.

Student Involvement Center > Clubs & Organizations > Student Organization Advisors
The Student Involvement Center has created the following resources to assist you in guiding students' development through co-curricular involvement. While these resources are far from comprehensive, they address a few of the most common issues that advisors face. From working to make sure that events are safe and assessing the development of leaders, we hope that these resources are useful to you.
CSO Advising Role
There are many pieces that make up the role of the CSO Advisor at Saint Louis University. In realizing that each group is different and might look for different things from their advisor, and that each advisor will be different in their approach to advising, this CSO Advisor Role document lists what makes up a Saint Louis University CSO advisor.
CSO Advisor Agreement
Student Chartered Organizations should submit, to the VP of Student Organizations, an official advisor agreement. Please access the form here.
CSO Advising Tips
At Saint Louis University, student group advising is looked to as more hands-on and purposeful than years ago when advising was more about providing the necessary signatures. We first recognize that each student group at Saint Louis University is unique in their make-up and needs and will thus require different approaches from the advisor, but hopefully these CSO Advisor Tips will help set the foundation in ultimately creating an individualistic advising approach.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
In this column, over the past several years, I have written about the transformation of the U.S. biotech industry from one dominated by development-stage companies, including public companies recording little revenues and substantial losses, to an industry still dominated by development-stage companies but with the public biotech sector reporting relatively substantial revenues and total annual net income for the very first time in 2008. In that year, according to Ernst & Young's biotechnology survey, the U.S. public biotech sector's total revenues and net income reached $65 billion and $400 million, respectively.
In 2009, 2010, and 2011, again from Ernst & Young's biotechnology surveys, the corresponding revenues totaled $56 billion, $61 billion, and $59 billion, respectively, and the corresponding net income totaled $3.7 billion, $5.2 billion, and $3.3 billion, respectively. So at first glance it seems as if the biotech industry has now reached its maturity, but first glances can be deceiving. A quick trip through history may shed some light.
During the biotech industry's early years, in the last three decades of the 20th century, less advanced technology and insufficient knowledge of the underlying science limited the opportunities to create new products. For example, recombinant DNA was initially utilized to enable the manufacture of a relatively small number of otherwise naturally occurring, well-characterized molecules such as human insulin, human growth hormone, and the interferons. Therefore, competition to create a similar product was considerably more prevalent than it is today.
What is almost unique about biotechnology today is that competition to provide a particular product does not necessarily result in winners and losers, because the potential marketplace for a wide variety of biotech solutions is so huge, and both the technology and the underlying science are advancing at an ever-accelerating pace.
As to how quickly the technology and the underlying science have evolved, one example should suffice. The culmination of the Human Genome Project was the sequencing of the human genome. The project cost $3 billion over a 13-year period ending in 2003. Service providers are now driving the cost and time required for sequencing a human genome down to $1,000 and one day.
Product development opportunities have become numerous. For example, there are thousands of currently untreatable hereditary diseases that someday may be effectively treated. Likewise, there is a vast multitude of potential applications of personalized medicine, which might result in more effective treatment of disorders that are currently less than adequately managed.
Today, the ability to raise capital, the inventiveness of a company's scientists, and the leadership capabilities of management are more likely to determine the success or failure of the company, rather than whether or not some other company develops a similar product first.
Around 70 years ago, Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter coined the term, "creative destruction". In essence, entrepreneurial innovations disrupt the status quo. Up-and-coming companies overtake the former leaders, which then fade away. As I noted in the January 15, 2011, issue of GEN, "When one considers the vibrant pattern of financings, internal growth, acquisitions, and yes, closings in the biotech industry, it clearly fits Schumpeter's model of creative destruction."
However, that is not the whole story. While creative destruction certainly applies to the biotech industry, so does what one might call creative acquisition. In other words, successful firms do not necessarily lead to the failures of other firms but rather to their own acquisition by larger firms. Creative acquisition is a function of the ever-increasing growth potential of the biotech industry.
For example, of the 10 largest revenue-producing U.S. public biopharmaceutical companies for 2005, four were acquired between 2006 and the close of 2009, and two were acquired during 2011. Novartis acquired Chiron in 2006, AstraZeneca acquired MedImmune in 2007, Takeda acquired Millenium in 2008, Roche acquired Genentech in 2009, and during 2011, Sanofi-Aventis acquired Genzyme, and Teva acquired Cephalon.
In 2005, total revenues and total net income reported by the top 10 companies amounted to $32 billion and $6.2 billion, respectively, whereas in 2011, the corresponding figures were $39 billion and $9.4 billion, or 22% and 52% greater, respectively. The four companies that were among the top ten in both 2005 and 2011—Amgen, Gilead, Biogen Idec, and Celgene—reported total revenues and total net income of $17 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively, in 2005, which increased 100% and 91% to $34 billion and $9.0 billion, respectively, in 2011.
What is even more impressive from the standpoint of percentage growth is the performance of the six companies that were among the top ten for 2011 but not for 2005. Those six companies—Vertex, Alexion, Cubist, United Therapeutics, Amylin, and ViroPharma—reported total revenues of $0.67 billion for 2005, increasing around 630% to $4.9 billion for 2011, and a total net loss of $0.39 billion in 2005, converting to total net income of $0.35 billion in 2011.
The next three largest U.S. public biopharmaceutical companies—Regeneron, Onyx, and Dendreon—reported total revenues over $1.2 billion in 2011, increasing 1,700% from $67 million in 2005. Moreover, Regeneron reported $536 million of revenues for the first six months of 2012, more than double the $220 million of revenues reported for the first six months of 2011.
Clearly, the biotech industry is exploiting loads of opportunities, and big pharma is increasingly attracted to the highly creative technology platforms of the biotech sector.
Yet, despite the presence of creative acquisition, as well as creative destruction, the number of biotech companies remains relatively constant. According to Ernst & Young, the total number of public and private biotech companies in the U.S. was 1,699, 1,914, and 1,879 in 2009, 2010, and 2011, respectively.
Thus, successful biotech companies will continue to be acquired by big pharma, but those companies will be replaced by a new batch of up-and-comers, and new companies will continually be formed. It will be a long time before the biotech sector will have reached its maturity.

Venous insufficiency is a condition in which the veins have problems sending blood from the legs back to the heart.
Chronic venous insufficiency; Chronic venous stasis; Chronic venous disease
Normally, valves in your deeper leg veins keep blood moving forward toward the heart. With chronic venous insufficiency, vein walls are weakened and valves are damaged. This causes the veins to stay filled with blood, especially when you are standing.
Chronic venous insufficiency is a long-term condition. It is most commonly due to malfunctioning (incompetent) valves in the veins. It may also occur as the result of a past blood clot in the legs.
Risk factors for venous insufficiency include:
Your doctor will do a physical exam and ask about your symptoms and medical history. Diagnosis is often made based on the appearance of leg veins when you are standing or sitting with your legs dangling.
A duplex ultrasound exam of your leg may be ordered to:
Your doctor may suggest that you take the following self-care steps to help manage venous insufficiency:
If your condition is severe, your doctor may recommend the following treatments:
Endovenous laser ablation or radiofrequency ablation may be recommended if you have:
Surgery (varicose vein stripping) to treat chronic venous insufficiency has been largely replaced by less invasive procedures.
Chronic venous insufficiency tends to get worse over time. However, it can be managed if treatment is started in the early stages. By taking self-care steps, you may be able to ease the discomfort and prevent the condition from getting worse. It is likely that you will need medical procedures to treat the condition.
Call your health care provider if:

The North Tahoe boys soccer team played South Tahoe to a 1-1 tie on the road Tuesday, while the Laker girls lost 6-0 to the undefeated, two-time defending state champions.
North Tahoe boys coach Beto Alcaraz said he was pleased with his team's play, as the Lakers nearly pulled off the victory against their larger South Shore rival. But a South Tahoe goal in the 70th minute sent both teams home with a draw.
"We played incredibly well," Alcaraz said. "It was a very good game, and I'm very happy with the way we played."
North Tahoe senior Trevor Semmens put the Lakers on the board with a first-half goal. The Lakers are now 0-3-1 in Mount Rose League play and the Vikings 1-1-1.
In the girls game, South Tahoe's Ally King and Jordyn Dion scored two goals apiece to help lift the Vikings to a 12-1 record overall and 4-0 in league.
"The girls played really well," said North Tahoe coach Jon Rockwood, whose assistant, Kristin Carlson, coached the Lakers in his absence. "From what I heard, the girls were winning 50-50 balls and playing with more effort and desire.
"But South Tahoe is a great team. Their girls work well together and they maintain possession."
North Tahoe fell to 1-2-1 in league.
UP NEXT: North Tahoe will host Truckee on Friday, girls at 4 p.m. and boys at 6.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
The top three entrants will get the chance to pitch their ideas directly to the U.K.'s Ministry of Defence's commercialization arm: Ploughshare Innovations.
Marblar creates science competitions around unused inventions, letting innovators worldwide compete to find creative applications. Here is one of their latest competitions, involving technology developed by the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory: a device based on lateral flow strip technology called the Surface Sampler.
While the top entry will get the winner Marble and prize money, the top three entrants will also have the opportunity to pitch their idea directly to Ploughshare Innovations—who commercialize the inventions coming from the British Defence Science and Technology Labs. Each will get an hour either in person or on the phone.
So, read on for a description of the product, and when you're done, click on the link at the end of the article to enter the challenge!
Armed forces must often test their environment for biological or chemical toxins, something that has recently re-emerged as a threat in North Africa and the Middle East. As you can imagine, these tests are done in hostile environments and as such the test equipment needs to be simple, quick, reliable, and robust. So we here at Ploughshare Innovation, part of the British Ministry of Defence, got clever and developed a device based on lateral flow strip technology—just like you find in a pregnancy test! Only ours uses a built-in swab, and in one step can screen for multiple compounds, while automatically saving samples for future analysis.
A diagram of a basic lateral flow strip (Source: Wikimedia) is shown to the right—essentially it's a test with a visual indicator indicating the presence of a specific compound. While a wide range of substances can be detected, in our case that colour change can indicate the presence of a dangerous chemical warfare agent or a biological one—like a baby ;)
So here's how it works: The device has a moist sponge on one end, which the operator uses to sample a surface. The sponge is capped, and by twisting the other end, the sample is released onto 6–8 parallel lateral flow strips. After 15 minutes each strip displays a pattern indicating the presence (or absence) of a specific substance.
Our beloved Surface Sampler is shown to the left.
So you have foolproof all-in-one operation, sample containment for future reference, and versatile detection of multiple compounds—that must be useful somewhere apart from the battlefield, right?
The current main application for the device is to allow front-line personnel to detect hazardous micro-organisms, toxins, chemical agents and explosives from surfaces. We've considered (but not pursued) some other areas as well:
We're very interested to hear about any specific applications, especially where there is a convincing business case for licensing/sale of the technology. This can be from one of the areas above, or in a completely different setting.
Most promising will be those applications that make use of the unique advantages of the device, namely one-step sampling/analysis, detection of multiple analytes at once and the sample containment/retention. For extra brownie points, we'd love to hear about who some potential industry partners might be as well.
I'm Peter White, a researcher at the Defence Science and Technology Lab (Dstl). Dstl's purpose is to maximise the impact of science and technology for the defence and security of Her Majesty's United Kingdom (God save the Queen). As such, part of our role is to indicate and identify chemical and biological threats in order to initiate command decisions and maintain operational effectiveness.
This invention came about through the desire to make testing for hazardous materials in challenging environments easier for military and security personnel. I simply took an existing detection technology—lateral flow test strips—and integrated it into a simple power free device that could be used in frontline environments. I'm really happy about the Surface Sampler because it extends and improves the utility of an established detection format to create a novel solution in a short time frame.

Former Penn State coach Bill O'Brien talked about his well-publicized "Paterno people" comments Tuesday and said he regrets making those remarks, plus he spoke for the first time about his successor with the Nittany Lions.
O'Brien, a guest on ESPN's "Mike & Mike," opened up about several issues regarding PSU. He said he had "a ton of support at Penn State" and tried to distance himself from the "Paterno people" comments he made last month to the Patriot-News of Harrisburg.
O'Brien was asked if the "Paterno people" played a role in him leaving Penn State.
"Nah, that's not accurate at all," he said. "I felt that I had a ton of support at Penn State. My staff had a lot of support at Penn State.
"You know, I regret that that conversation even took place. I do, I regret that. But I know that I had a ton of support there. Penn State is a special place. I believe in what we did at Penn State. I think Penn State, the football program is in a better spot now than it was two years ago."
He said his biggest takeaway from his time at PSU was coaching the players. He also was asked if he believed he eventually would leave for the NFL, and during that response he mentioned new coach James Franklin.
"I loved Penn State, I really did," O'Brien said. "I enjoyed the players. I think it's a very special university. I think they've gone and hired a fantastic coach in James Franklin.
"But there are many parts of the NFL game that I missed. And then the other thing was that I think that's important to note was my family. When Houston came around and was interested in talking to me I just felt good about this opportunity. It was also the fact that in the city of Houston they have a great medical facility here for my oldest son. It's just a fantastic facility. I think that's something that meant a lot to my wife and I."
O'Brien spoke highly of PSU's future.
"I think that they're going to take off," he said. "I think Penn State is a place where you can win national championships and Big Ten championships."

TRUCKEE, Calif. - In the early 1970s, Bruce Turner left his job at the Federal Reserve to cross the country in search of something greater - good skiing.
"It was a pain in the neck to drive to Vermont," Turner said. "My wife was going to have to move to a ski area."
When the young couple moved to Truckee in 1972, they paid $30 per month for a piece of land.
"I told her, 'It's gonna cut in to my beer money, but sure,'" Turner said with a laugh.
Turner is the financial adviser at Edward Jones where he has worked for 23 years.
"The guy is kind of like a fixture here in Truckee," said Senior Branch Office Administrator Barbara Jajko. "... Everyone knows who Bruce is."
Turner does seem to know everyone, and he surely knows the town of Truckee. He described it as "the white spot in the road" when he first came - a "wild town" - a place where he paid so little for his land and so much for his ski pass.
"My season pass to Squaw Valley was $1,300," Turner said. "With inflation, I think we worked it out to being the equivalent to 5 or 6 thousand dollars."
Turner defines himself as a ski bum, being one of many who worked odd jobs such as night maintenance or summer construction to pay the bills and be able to ski the slopes
"We spent all our money on that," Turner said. "It was a wealthy man's sport."
Besides the mountain and the snow, it was the people who also solidified Turner's sense of belonging. He says in an era when Truckee was home to "the help" of Lake Tahoe, he found long time friends who had come for the same reason he had.
"Everybody was geared toward the outdoors and athletics," Turner said. "There was a whole handful of disciplines coming here. People that have all now become major figures in the fabric of the town."
Turner's office now has been in the same location since 1990 and is in the same building as Dr. Donald Orme, DDS, and next to the office of architect Bourke David - "all guys from the original group," Turner says.
Having moved around a lot growing up, it was important to both Turner and his wife to stay in one place. And after 40 years in Truckee, the couple have watched their family and their community grow.
"I really got to see what people in America are all about," Turner said. "Truckee gave me a perspective I never had - a real appreciation for the American work ethic."
What Turner found in Truckee contrasted vastly with the environment he'd come from in Washington, D.C., working as an economist. Turner went to the nation's capital initially when former President John F. Kennedy was elected, but said he felt disillusioned with the political process. Small town Truckee seemed a better fit for the longhaired, bearded son of the peace and love generation.
"I know it sounds corny, but we worked to help each other," Turner said. "Lawyers lived next door to ski bums, accountants lived next to carpenters. It was this frontier mentality."
Over the decades the financial state of the community and of the country have had their ups and downs. However, not much has changed for Bruce Turner. He is still an avid skier, a proud family man, and still lives in the home he and his wife built in 1978.
"I've sat here in the same spot and watched it all unfold," Turner said. "It's kind of like skiing, it hasn't really changed, you're just sliding down the hill."
He has been doing the same job for 30 years, something he says isn't "the picture we paint for successful people." But with a close knit family and long standing business he measures his success by his own happiness.
"What I've done here has really been helpful to a lot of people," Turner said.
Turner spends most weekends now on the mountain, whether with his wife or watching one of his grandkids' ski races.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. - It takes a village sometimes to get things done, and the "village" of North Tahoe came together to help out our local kids' athletic programs Friday, Nov. 16 at the Boatworks Mall in Tahoe City. More than 350 guests attended the North Tahoe Booster Club's annual Elegant Affair - a fun and social evening of food and wine tasting - which is the club's annual fundraiser to promote and support North Tahoe Laker Athletics. Through its financial support and volunteer efforts the club assists athletic programs at both the middle school and high school of North Tahoe, ensuring that athletics are a valuable experience for all students.
As tradition would have it, there was some wet weather, but that did not dampen the spirits of guests and the volunteers serving from the restaurants and wineries. The Elegant Affair traditionally signifies the opening of the North Tahoe holiday season, and everyone looked elegant indeed in his and her sartorial finery for the evening of sipping and savoring. Cindy Robbins and Jeff "Ox" of Sunnyside went the extra mile garnering 28 wineries, two breweries, the Coffee Connexion, and 21 local restaurants to participate in the event.
In addition to approximately $22,000 (final figures were not in at press time) that was raised just at the event that evening, the Kiwanis Club of North Tahoe presented the club with a donation of $8,275. Gary Furumoto also presented an additional $1,000 check to the club in addition to a $5,000 check previously given to the club from the Chris Park Memorial Fund.
Wonderful background music was provided by Remmel Wilson and friends, and Eric "T" (Brandt) presided as the emcee. Afterward many revved up attendees headed over to Wolfdale's for some more sipping and dancing to the music of the Trey Stone Band. Since the Booster Club began in 2004 more than $400,000 has been donated to the sports programs of North Tahoe. There are many levels of annual memberships.

Researchers say that protein lysine succinylation may represent a post-translational modification that can be reversed by Sirt5 in vivo. [© Pawel Szczesny - Fotolia.com]
ASSAY & Drug Development Technologies offers a unique combination of original research and reports on the techniques and tools being used in cutting-edge drug development. The journal includes a "Literature Search and Review" column that identifies published papers of note and discusses their importance. GEN presents one article that was analyzed in the "Literature Search and Review" column, a paper published in Science titled "Sirt5 Is a NAD-dependent protein lysine demalonylase and desuccinylase." Authors of the paper are Du J, Zhou Y, Su X, Yu JJ, Khan S, Jiang H, Kim J, Woo J, Kim JH, Choi BH, He B, Chen W, Zhang S, Cerione RA, Auwerx J, Hao Q, and Lin H.
Silent information regulator 2 (Sir2) proteins (sirtuins) are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide–dependent deacetylases that regulate important biological processes. Mammals have seven sirtuins, Sirt1 to Sirt7. Four of them (Sirt4 to Sirt7) have no detectable or very weak deacetylase activity. We found that Sirt5 is an efficient protein lysine desuccinylase and demalonylase in vitro. The preference for succinyl and malonyl groups was explained by the presence of an arginine residue (Arg105) and tyrosine residue (Tyr102) in the acyl pocket of Sirt5. Several mammalian proteins were identified with mass spectrometry to have succinyl or malonyl lysine modifications. Deletion of Sirt5 in mice appeared to increase the level of succinylation on carbamoyl phosphate synthase 1, which is a known target of Sirt5. Thus, protein lysine succinylation may represent a posttranslational modification that can be reversed by Sirt5 in vivo.
The report of Du and colleagues highlights the discovery and initial characterization of yet another protein posttranslational modification (PTM). During the past decade, the number and chemical diversity of PTMs have grown tremendously, with protein acetylation, methylation, ubiquitinylation, and multiple other changes being added to the classical PTM, protein phosphorylation. Sirtuins were originally characterized as NAD-dependent deacetylases, with Sirt1 being the most prominent member of the family. However, some of the more recently isolated sirtuins have displayed very poor enzymatic activity against acetylated protein substrates, complicating the studies of their biological function.
In the present study, the authors focused on Sirt5 and, by performing a comparative analysis of its crystal structure, concluded that an acyl group bearing a negatively charged carboxylate should bind to Sirt5 better than a regular acetyl group does, indicating that a dicarboxylate may be a good candidate PTM that Sirt5 operates on. Malonyl-CoA and succinyl-CoA were considered as the obvious candidate precursors due to their relative abundance and utilization in several metabolic processes. Histone H3-derived peptides carrying succinyl and malonyl substitutions of Lysine 9 (H3K9-Su and H3K9-Ma) were tested with several sirtuins, with acetyl counterparts being used as controls (Figures 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D).
While Sirt1 efficiently catalyzed the deacetylation of the H3K9-Ac substrate, as expected, Sirt5 almost did not process the acetyl substrate at all and instead showed high efficiency against H3K9-Su and H3K9-Ma. Subsequent X-ray crystallography analysis confirmed the engagement of the succinyl and malonyl substrates into the Sirt5 active site, as predicted from the initial comparative analysis.
Using the radiolabeled substrate 32P-NAD, which can form 32P-labeled O-Ma-ADP-ribose and O-Su-ADP-ribose, and treating bovine liver mitochondrial peptides with it and Sirt5, the authors demonstrated the presence of succinylated lysines in mitochondrial proteins (Figures 2A-2H).
Figures 2A and 2B. (A) Succinyl lysine was detected in bovine liver mitochondria. Sirt5-catalyzed hydrolysis of malonyl and succinyl peptides could be detected by using 32P-NAD, which formed 32P-labeled OMa-ADPR (lane 2) and O-Su-ADPR (lane 3). No reaction occurred with acetyl peptide (lane 1). The formation of O-Ac-ADPR catalyzed by Sirt1 was detected (lanes 4 and 8). O-Su-ADPR was formed when bovine liver mitochondria peptides were incubated with Sirt5 (lane 9) but not with Sirt1 (lane 10). The control with BSA peptides and Sirt5 did not generate O-Su-ADPR (lane 12). CD38-catalyzed hydrolysis of NAD was used to generate the standard 32PADPR spot (lane 13). (B) The CPS1 activities were measured by using the liver lysates from Sirt5 wild-type and Sirt5 KO mice. (n = 3 pairs of mice, p < 0.05).
The in vivo relevance of these new PTMs was further demonstrated through affinity capture and purification of succinyl peptides from bovine liver mitochondria via the use of a FLAG-tagged Sirt5, and subsequent protein identification using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry; by use of a similar approach, malonyl lysine residues were also identified on several proteins. Lastly, a Sirt5 knockout experiment demonstrated that protein lysine succinylation may be a type of PTM that is reversed by the action of Sirt5 in vivo. The relative abundances of these new PTMs in human cells and tissues, as well as their role in human biology, await further elucidation.

Dan and Brian were AWOL this week so Tina and I stepped in to fill the void.
Tina assured me she had "prepped" for our taping but I think by this she just meant "consumed 18 cans of Dr Pepper".
In the end their were some very interesting stories to cover.... we just didn't get around to them.
What follows is either the greatest TWoC9 episode ever, or the worst. Possibly both. Or neither.
Oh and here's the article that Tina referrenced by way of Laura... turns out it's real: IDC predicts WP7 to overtake iPhone by 2015
Oops, something didn't work.
Well, it's still better than that Ping show.
Kumbayah, Tina.
I can't stop laugh every time I watch this episode. Awesome job Tina for playing along!
This was... spectacular.
With Tina's vocal hotness @1:10, the jet-setting revelation @2:40, and the "she's such a good helper" slight @7:35, Foy is for certain going into a jealousy-induced shopping spree on the WP7 Avatar Marketplace. Laura will have the first Avatar with a Coach Handbag.
Great show, good fun.
Great show! You should do a sepperate show, something in between Ping and TWC9
Still sad though: Inside Xbox does and Hot Apps video's are not available on the Belgian dashboard!
great show, more shows shold have tina vocals
Nicely done!
Ahahahahahhaha!!!!! Tina is a musical genius! Who knew! Can't wait to see you and Nic perform live together again. I'm getting my lighters ready.
What is that song just after tinas opening song?
Haha this was awesome! Nice surprise to come back to from my vacation.

In the meantime, see what everyone was raving about at the baby shower we went to today...
She looks so sweet in that outfit!
I love how cool and relaxed she is on camera... ;)
Super cute! Love all the ideas. Any of those shoe socks made for boys or only for super adorable baby girls?
Nell :--)
Gosh, she is just so adorable! I can see how much fun dressing a girl could be.
I love those socks and stockings! Wish I had known about them earlier for myself!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the heads up! Will be participating on Monday!ReplyDelete
Those tights & socks really make me want a girl now! ;) Gotta love The Gap.
I'm looking forward to your Monday Mr. Linky! I'll be looking for my babywearing pics.
I still regret that I didn't find those Trumpette Mary Jane socks until Roo was too big for them... I think I might need to get her some of the rainboots, though. So cute!
Ivy looks gorgeous, like a big rosy cupcake of love... I can't believe I just typed that, by the way.
Those tights are so cute!ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, Steph, those are so super cute!!! I think someday I will have to adopt a girl just for all the outfit cuteness to splurge on....
And those are great ideas for babyshowers! I there are some socks for boys with tennis shoes (like Nell asked) I got some at babies r us, but not as cute as those little dressy shoes...
Taites fav. socks ewre the trumpette.. I squeezed him in those for months!! I think they were 0-6 mo.. he wore them well past a year old :-) great gift.
Ivy is adorable... as usual
oh my gosh - I would have LOVED the tights w/ shoes this time last year. We can still never keep shoes on AJ, but it was ESPECIALLY impossible when she was a wee one. Fantastic! She looks darling and you look awesome, mama.ReplyDelete

Hoard cows have high feet and leg scores
Hoard cows have high feet and leg scores
As a group, the Hoard Guernsey herd had outstanding feet and leg scores, averaging 81.86 points on 342 cows at the most recent classification. There are a number of reasons for their solid feet and legs: some is genetic, some is the facilities, but a lion's share can be attributed to a diligent hoof-trimming program and the steady use of footbaths by the Hoard Farm crew headed up by Jason Yurs. Feet and leg evaluations run strong in all groups with first-lactation cows averaging 80.13 with scores climbing steadily and topping out with the fourth-lactation-and-older group averaging 83.54. Shown in the photo is Dairyman Royal Lane who is a 2-year-old with an Excellent set of feet and legs.
The Hoard Farm continues to use a great deal of young sire semen. Currently, 70 percent of the services in the milking herd are to young bulls. This trend is resulting in significant genetic gain, as the service sires are nearly double the Net Merit average of the heifers. Since we have many young sires' daughters, the Hoard Farm is making a conscious effort to keep all young sires' daughters until they get their first score. That includes the good and the bad. That effort was so extreme that we kept two young cows that bottomed out the scorecard in their udder score at 50. While this move did pull down our classification average, we believe it provided valuable data on those bulls and for the breed as a whole.
The Hoard Farm team continues to breed heifers based on age and scored three heifers that had not reached their second birthday. An even larger number of young cows have calved in less at than two years of age but were in milk a few months before seeing the appraiser. The youngest cow calved at 1 year, 9 months and went 82 points. The Hoard Farm team has definitely found a trend that well-grown heifers calving early adapt to their surrounding and calve with less udder edema than older herdmates. As a whole, the entire group of 2-year-olds is calving at 24.4 months.
After reviewing the data, the Hoard Farm ended up with:
• 24 Excellent (90 points and higher)
• 201 Very Goods (80 to 89 points)
• 105 Desirable (70 to 79 points)
• 7 Acceptable (60 to 69 points)
• 2 Poor (50 to 59 points)
The entire 342 Guernsey herd averaged 81.31 points, compared to 81.52 six months earlier. The udders average 80.66 with feet and legs at 81.86. The milking herd averages 2.64 lactations, up from June's average of 2.55. Classification scores by age group are:
• 110 first-lactation cows: 78.96 final score, 79.3 udder, 80.13 feet and legs
• 93 second-lactation cows: 80.22 final score, 79.06 udder, 81.95 feet and legs
• 56 third-lactation cows: 82.38 final score, 81 udder, 83.13 feet and legs
• 79 fourth-lactation and greater cows: 85.06 final score, 84.84 udder, 83.54 feet and legs
