Sjogren's syndrome is a frustrating disease.
The most common symptoms are deceptively simple – dry eyes and a dry mouth. But the disorder is often dismissed or misdiagnosed until the condition leads to serious problems throughout the body that are difficult to treat.
Now, however, researchers at the University at Buffalo and IMMCO Diagnostics of Amherst say it may be possible to diagnose Sjogren's earlier.
In a study in this month's issue of the journal Clinical Immunology, the researchers reported finding new antibodies that can be tested for the presence of the disease. Antibodies are substances produced by the body's immune system when it detects harmful substances.
UB has filed a patent on a potential biomarker-based method for detecting Sjogren's, which affects an estimated 4 million people in the United States, and licensed the technology to IMMCO, which is developing a kit that medical laboratories may use to make the diagnosis.
A successful a test would add to IMMCO's portfolio of diagnostic products and serve as another step forward for the region's small but growing biotechnology industry.
"The tricky thing with Sjogren's is that you usually only pick it up after it's too late to do anything but treat the symptoms," said Dr. Julian L. Ambrus Jr., a UB professor, immunologist at Buffalo General Medical Center and senior author of the paper.
Sjogren's (pronounced SHOW-grins) syndrome is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks its own cells and tissue – in this case the glands that produce saliva and tears. It is named for the Swedish physician who first identified it.
Sjogren's can lead to problems in other organs, such as the kidneys, digestive system, blood vessels, lungs, liver and the nervous system. Sufferers – nine out of 10 are women – are at higher risk of lymphoma, a cancer that begins in the immune system.
"The possibility of a new test is great news. Today, it takes six to 10 years to get a definitive diagnosis," said Sharon Hoffman, a Sjogren's patient in Rochester and the Western New York support group leader for the Sjogren's Foundation.
Symptoms of Sjogren's often mimic those seen in menopause and such conditions as lupus, a similar disorder, and multiple sclerosis. In about half of Sjogren's cases, the disease occurs on its own, and in the other half, it overlaps other diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, according to the foundation. Symptoms can range in intensity from mild discomfort to serious impairment, and there is no cure.
"It's a very complex disease with different things going on at different stages," Ambrus said.
Currently, one method of diagnosing Sjogren's is to look for one of two antibodies physicians refer to with the letters "Ro" and "La." But about 40 percent of patients don't have positive blood tests for these antibodies until late into the disease stages.
Ambrus and his colleagues found three new antibodies for Sjogren's that can identify patients earlier and in those who lack the Ro and La antibodies. He said it's not clear if the antibodies cause the syndrome.
"The assumption has been that you couldn't do much for Sjogren's," Ambrus said. "Now, we may be able to find it at the right time and do something."
A key development occurred when the researchers, through genetic modification, created mice for studies in which Sjogren's acted exactly as it acts in humans, Ambrus said.
IMMCO, which specializes in products to diagnose autoimmune diseases, is now developing a kit that laboratories could use to diagnose Sjogren's using the new biomarkers.
The company is seeking clearance from the Food and Drug Administration through the 510(k) medical device approval process for the kit. Plans are to sell the kit first in other countries in 2013, where the approval process is quicker and, until FDA device approval, offer Sjogren's diagnosis using the new biomarkers as a service in the U.S. in which IMMCO will receive blood samples from hospitals and specialists, said William Maggio, IMMCO's chief executive officer.
"This is a significant opportunity for us. Sjogren's is one of the most undiagnosed diseases, and we feel we have a better solution for its diagnosis," Maggio said.
As a laboratory service, the new test requires validation by the state Health Department, a step expected to occur early next year, officials said. FDA approval could take about 20 months, Maggio said.
The research received funding from the National Institutes of Health and UB's Center for Advanced Biomedical and Bioengineering Technology.

A British band who, in the 80s and then the 90s, helped to start and then define grindcore music. They are still generally regarded as the genres primogenitors. Grind is basically short and fast, with very sludgy guitars and bass and shouty/growly vocals. Short in the extreme sense - Napalm Death's best known record, 1987's Scum, contained 28 tracks in 33 minutes, the longest being just over 2 minutes, and the shortest being 4 seconds. Because of these aspects, grind has obviously never really gotten through to the mainstream. Napalm Death are still going today (Feb 2004).
Napalm Death? Yeah, I've heard them...they're fucking strange. Bloody heavy though!

Blair County high schools made a clean sweep of the District 6 tennis doubles championships Saturday at the Leopold Center.
Marissa Lanzel and Susie Ellis captured the Class AAA crown with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Alyssa Kustenbauder and Nur Cardakli in an all-Hollidaysburg final.
Ana Hollen and Keturah Weaver, representing the co-op team of Tyrone and Bellwood-Antis, earned the Class AA title with a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Westmont Hilltop's Bethany Carney and Hannah Gleason.

Hollidaysburg's Marissa Lanzel (left) and Susie Ellis laugh.
Lanzel was runner-up in the District 6-AAA singles a week ago and teamed with Ellis to finish second in the 6-AAA doubles two years ago.
"We play and practice together all the time," Lanzel said. "We've been doubles partners for the past three years."
When Mariah Turiano, the district singles champ a year ago, went down with a wrist injury this fall, Lanzel moved into the No. 1 position at Hollidaysburg and Ellis jumped to No. 2. That also made them the Lady Tigers' No. 1 doubles duo and gave them an opportunity to finish something they failed to do two years ago.
"It was nice to win this time," Lanzel said.
"Going from singles to doubles can be difficult," Lanzel noted, "because it's a whole different game plan."
Having a familiar partner, like Ellis, made it easier, even though they were going against teammates.
"We practice against them [Kustenbauder and Cardakli] all the time so it's real hard to play against them," Ellis said. "We go against them every day, and they're a great team.
"We know they're strengths and weaknesses, and they know ours, so it's difficult."
Although there was no pressure on him, coach Brian Denis said it was sometimes "brutal" to watch his two teams go at each other yesterday.
"It's hard not to coach either one or both," he said. "I think they struggled a little because they compete against each other every day. They're all great kids and it's hard knowing one of them is going to lose.
"However, I couldn't be happier to have all four kids in the finals," he said. "We stress doubles and always seem to have good doubles teams so I'm happy for all of them."
While Hollidaysburg has been a fixture in District 6 play, Tyrone coach Mike Hample wasn't sure if the Eagles had ever won a district tennis title.
"If they did, it was a long time ago," Hample said. "I can't remember any so this is a great win for these girls."
Hollen is a sophomore at Bellwood-Antis and Weaver is a senior at Tyrone.
"Both girls are baseline players," Hample noted, "but we've worked very hard, particularly the last couple of weeks, to develop their net game.
"They compliment each other at the net and they both have great baseline shots ... they keep it deep," he said.
Hample said the Tyrone-Bellwood-Antis combination has worked well. He said last year's squad had more girls from Tyrone but noted Bellwood outnumbers Tyrone, 5-3, this fall.
"They all work really well together," he said. "It's a real team."
Hollen and Weaver certainly work well together.
"We were No. 1 coming in so we were confident," said Hollen, who was singles runner-up last week. "I love playing doubles."
"Ana is a great partner," said a beaming Weaver. "I couldn't ask for a better one."
"This [victory] is a great start for our program," Hollen said.
"I knew we could do it," Weaver said, "and next year's team should be something special."
Weaver noted that she and Hollen had only played together "three or four times all season."
"We're usually split up so we can win the team so it was a little hard for us, but we got through it and succeeded," Weaver said.
"We had great chemistry," Hollen added.

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. - Jelly Bread is rising.The Reno quartet solidified its lineup last spring, recorded an album and donned dapper, three-piece suits for a CD-release party."We wanted to make an impression," bandleader Dave Berry said. "We wanted to show up to a gig looking like we had a job."Jelly Bread has received plenty of job offers ever since, steadily performing at clubs and venues throughout the West. And today it adds an accolade to its rsum: Lake Tahoe Action 2012 Band of the Year.The band sounds like Tower of Power or Dumpstaphunk with a Southern drawl. It plays a combination of R&B, gospel, funk and pop with frolicsome instrumentation accouterments like a lap steel guitar and an organ talk box. Drummer Cliff Porter has a name for it: "feel-good music."Berry, a 35-year-old Reno native whose family is mostly from Oklahoma, plays guitar, dobro and lap steel guitar. A singer-songwriter with a Ben Harper bent, his Southern heritage is revealed in a down-home temperament and musical delivery.Porter and his uncle Brady Carthen, the bassist, have played together all their lives in church, but have different approaches."To me Jelly Bread is a gumbo pot," Porter said. "Even though me and Brady are related and grew up in the gospel field, he's more of a jazzy kind of guy and I'm more of an R&B to the funk side of stuff. Dave is a singer-songwriter, influenced by Ben Harper and John Mayer and all those kind of guys. And Eric (Matlock), he's just 'funk-tastic.' We just all bring in what we all do and we melt it all it all together and we feel good. I can describe it only as feel-good music."Like the 2011 Band of the Year the Dead Winter Carpenters, Jelly Bread has moved from playing in the Crystal Bay Casino Red Room to the larger Crown Room.It will play in the North Shore venue for the fifth time Dec. 16 when it opens for Dragon Smoke, an all-star collection of New Orleans players which only gets together once a year or so.Jelly Bread - not named after the Booker T and the MGs song - is musically delicious. Formed three and one-half years ago, the band coalesced in earnest with the addition of keyboard player Matlock in May. "Sometimes you need that one little ingredient to make it taste just right," Porter said. "And that's what (Matlock) did. His style of playing (is) very comfortable for me to play with because he's very percussive."Matlock is a former member of Lake Tahoe Action's 2010 Band of the Year, Mama's Cookin.' He since played with Subjektochange which morphed to Headphone Union. When the latter went on hiatus, Berry recruited Matlock, a North Shore resident."Once Eric became a free agent and he jumped on board, that is what really turned a corner for us," Berry said. "He was like the final piece of the puzzle the way he plays Hammond B3. He doesn't look like a Southern gospel cat, but man he gets on the keys and he's just so full of life, pure energy and he's a songwriter, too. When we got him in the band, everything just took off."Matlock modestly agreed."They were already a great band but they were always looking for a keyboardist that fit their style," he said. "When I came in I think we all just felt comfortable playing with each other. It just clicked."Matlock leans toward the funk, listing influences as Billy Preston, Ivan Neville, Richard Vogel from Galactic, Papa Gros (Funk), Orgone (Dan Hastie), Art "Papa Funk" Neville and talk box pioneer Roger Troutman."It's just so fun to bring that nasty groove," he said. "This band is funky and groovy. It appeals to such a wide range of people. I loved my last band but it was a niche of certain people were into and certain people were not into. But this band. If you like dancing, or you like music at all, then I don't see you not having a good time with us."Jelly Bread began with a jam.Reno natives Berry and Porter coincidentally relocated to their old home towns after stints in Southern California and Arizona, respectively.Porter heard there was an empty drum set on stage at Cantina Los Tres Hombres. He saw that Berry was playing - with his eyes closed - so he went behind the drums and joined into the music. When Berry opened his eyes, it was a happy reunion."He said, 'Man, I was looking for you,' and I said, 'I was looking for you,'" Porter said. "He and my older brother grew up together."That was on a Tuesday in 2009. They jammed at Porter's barbershop and by Friday were playing a gig. They recorded an eight-song CD to sell at shows, and last spring released "No Dress Code." Jelly Bread plans to return to the studio in January."We got a hand full of songs written and a plethora of ideas on other stuff," Berry said. "I'm always writing and have stuff to bring to the band. We have a lot of ground work for songs but have not had time to hash them out."All four of the members will bring ideas to the studio."This is really feeling expansive here," Matlock said. "It seems like things are snowballing really fast. It feels really cool to be in a band that seems like it has a good shot at getting out there to a lot of people. We've had some great festival successes and some great tours and the new management has helped us moved forward."Porter knows what success sounds like. He played are recorded with a decade-long gospel theater group and his family's band Four With God. He became interested in music when he was 5 when his uncle Little Joe Blue gave him a drum kit.Born Joseph Valery in Vicksberg, Miss., Little Joe Blue was a Chicago-style blues player who had a hit song, "Dirty Work Going On" on Checker records in 1966. He died in Reno in 1990.Jelly Bread might be a hit song away from becoming a national touring band."We are all humble guys and don't take anything for granted," Porter said. "We're very humbled by everything that is happening. All we want to do is just keep playing. We are very blessed and very happy it's starting to reach a lot more people. It's growing and were just riding it, man. We're just riding and enjoying it."

Washington Dairygrams - February 25, 2013
As printed in our February 25, 2013 issue...
FOR THE 21ST STRAIGHT YEAR, cheese production posted a new record. It rose 2.5 percent (unadjusted for leap year) to 10.86 billion pounds.
AT 244.8 MILLION POUNDS, Wisconsin posted record cheese output, up 4.8 percent; representing 25.4 percent of the nation's cheese, California 20.7.
FOR ONLY THE FOURTH TIME, the butter churn netted over 1.8 billion pounds. Last year's butter make represented the highest level since 1941. Yogurt production totaled a record 4.45 billion pounds, up 4.2 percent.
ICE CREAM PRODUCTION DROPPED for the fifth straight year. From 1950 to 1988, ice cream consumption hovered between 17 and 18 pounds per person. Since then, it has slipped to 11.5 lbs., the lowest since the 1940s.
2012 DAIRY EXPORTS INCHED PAST the previous year: up 3 percent on a volume basis; 8 percent by value. In the second half of 2012, both volume and value were down 9 to 10 percent when compared to 2011.
GLOBAL PRODUCT PRICES ROSE 2.4 PERCENT in early February. The eight-product index averaged $1.63 per pound. Cheddar cheese traded at $1.60; that's the midpoint for blocks and barrels on the U.S. spot market.
HIGH FEED COSTS continue to hamper profitability. January's ration costs averaged $12.66 per cwt. with an income over feed cost at $7.34.
A $19.50 ALL MILK PRICE from 2013 to 2017 was the latest projection from USDA's Agricultural Projections to 2022. USDA economists predicted cheese sales will continue to rise due to greater consumption of processed foods while fluid milk will lose more market share.
STRONG HEIFER INVENTORIES PERSIST. On January 1, there were 4.55 million head (500 pounds or larger) which is a ratio of 49.4 heifers per 100 cows. Replacements were valued at $1,370, down $110 since July.
FEBRUARY TO SEPTEMBER CLASS III FUTURES held steady in recent weeks to average near $17.90. Projected MILC payments range from June's low of 27 cents to March's high of 60 cents for the next five months.
BRIEFLY: Tuberculosis was detected in a West Coast cow for the second straight month. This time in Tulare, Calif. Only a 25 percent chance to pass a farm bill before year's end, suggested the American Farm Bureau's Mary Kay Thatcher. When it expired last year, no one really noticed except dairy, she said. About 20 of the nation's 211 ethanol plants ceased refining over the past year, reported the Boston Globe. Bred heifer exports fell 41.2 percent or by 30,000 head in 2012. Russia and Kazakhstan grew imports; Turkey and Mexico were down. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency released a new dairy-farm biosecurity standard. It focused on animal health and movement, premise sanitation and people flow. USDA announced final rules for Class III and IV make allowances. It would complete a process that began in August 2008.

Reimagining the Application Lifecycle
- Date: to
- Day 3
- Speakers: Sam Guckenheimer
Right click "Save as…"
A new set of software lifecycle practices has evolved, often called Lean Startup or Customer Development, and has been emerging from Silicon Valley and accepted into the mainstream of enterprises worldwide. The central tenet is that business experimentation for customer fit is the core value of the lifecycle, and that the key to success is the effectiveness of rapid iteration to allow build/measure/learn and accumulate validated learning with minimum viable products. Unlike in the past, when business, development and operations were managed as three separate lifecycles, they now need to be managed as one. This talk reviews the state of industry, the change in practices, and the implications for all of us.

reported earlier today that some shakeups were on the way from
Microsoft with regards to its Entertainment & Devices Division.
It had already been widely speculated that J. Allard, chief
experience officer and chief technology officer, was leaving. It was
also reported that Robbie Bach could also be shown the door.
now reports that both Allard and Bach are leaving Microsoft.
According to TechFlash's Todd Bishop, the departure of Allard
and Bach will give CEO Steve Ballmer more direct control over
Microsoft's struggling sectors (namely its Zune and Windows Mobile
Although there has been speculation that Allard might jump ship to
Google and work on that
company's tablet efforts, he refuted those claims and said that
he wants to unwind for a bit and tackle "personal interests"
after working at Microsoft for 19 years.
For his part, Ballmer stated the following in a company email
announcing the departures:
Transitions are always hard. Robbie
has been an instrumental part of so many key moments in Microsoft
history — from the evolution of Office to the decision to create
the first Xbox to pushing the company hard in entertainment overall.
J as well has had a great impact in the market and on our culture,
providing leadership in design, and in creating a passionate and
involved Xbox community, and earlier being at the center of our work
seizing the importance of the Web for the company...
Both have been great team builders
with a strong record of attracting, coaching and growing talent. As a
result, their teams are primed to continue to step up and deliver
great products, great services and great results for the company.
You can read Ballmer's full email to the troops here.
quote: No, it's not better in almost every regard. The only point which can be argued is the UI's better, but that's simply a matter of personal preference. My iPod has 500 available accessories for every one for a Zune, and honestly saying 500:1 I might be giving MS too much credit.
quote: iTunes is better, for the smart playlists alone. I know Zune supports some sort of auto smart playlists. But what Apple had done with them is simply amazing.
quote: Lesse, I can't think of anything her Zune does better. Wireless Sync is a boring feature, and it's on the Touch now so that's a moot point
quote: And personally I like my Touch's UI better. The Zune HD is a lot better than the old 30's, but it's still not as good. The 30's were fucking horrible to use. iPod also gets more points in its favor because I can use a dozen different programs to sync. Zune has one, and the software is a POS which took all the mp3's I spent months organizing and properly tagging. And without asking me changed cover art & ID3 tags on about 70% of my music. Very randomly, I'm still trying to fix everything MS's software fucked up.

They are not hulking eyesores. They are concrete canvases.
They are not embarrassing remnants of bygone prosperity. They are stepping stones to our future.
The mantra: Light them, and they will come.
Light them, and people – here, there and everywhere – will look at Buffalo differently.
In the latest leap forward on our downtown waterfront, state officials last week OK'd an idea for a year-round, kinetic light show on a Canalside grain elevator and nearby structures.
The only thing more astounding to me than using the monoliths of the past to illuminate our future is the source of the idea's approval.
A few years ago, members of the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp. – the state agency that oversees waterfront development – were fast-tracking civic suicide. Their plan for a big-box retailer for the downtown waterfront would have yoked us to arguably the lowest and worst use of prime property.
Not only have some of the board's faces since changed, its philosophy has done an about-face.
The canal development agency was clueless and adrift after Bass Pro's 2010 rejection ended the "magic bullet" pursuit. Thankfully, informed citizens stepped in to fill the vision void. Civic activist Mark Goldman brought in New York City urban planner Fred Kent. His "Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper" philosophy has largely shaped our post-Bass Pro waterfront. The impact is obvious.
Next to the historic Commercial Slip, excavated after another state versus public battle in the late 1990s, is a lovely waterfront park – site of concerts and daily summer events – along with the commercial buds of a sandwich stand and a sit-down restaurant. Instead of massive subsidies for a big-box retailer, we are cementing the harbor's historic identity by re-tracing the Erie Canal at the old Aud site. The project uses public dollars the right way – for infrastructure that paves the path for private investment, instead of to "bribe" reluctant retailers.
The kinetic light show strikes me as our equivalent of Christo's 2005 flowing-fabric installation in Central Park – different and inventive enough to catch the nation's eye. Erie Canal Harbor: from big box, to – pardon the cliche – outside of the box.
The post-Bass Pro course was shaped by informed citizens in public workshops and committees. It is where the grain elevator idea was hatched. Committee members were kicking around ways to celebrate the concrete behemoths. Lynda Schneekloth, a UB professor, was involved in a small, simple lighting of a local grain elevator eight years ago.
"Someone mentioned painting the grain elevators, but it didn't seem feasible," Schneekloth recalled. "This is a lighter touch, with shifting images."
A project was born.
The canal development agency, to its credit, has opened its collective eyes and ears to bright, creative citizens who care about the community where they live – and whose tax dollars pay the bills. Not only is it about time, but it leads to better projects – and avoids the community-deflating, hand-to-hand combat that had become our trademark.
"The reality [state officials] had to face was public opposition to this authoritarian, top-down approach," said preservationist and urban designer Tim Tielman, who spearheaded both the '90s fight to recover the historic slip and the anti-big box battle. "I think they realized that they needed to open up the [decision] process, listen to what people wanted and acknowledge the power of good ideas."
Right. Even if those ideas came from people whom agency members – typically, corporate power brokers – do not run into at the Buffalo Club or see at $2,500-a-plate political fundraisers.
That is the beauty of the grain-elevator light show. It makes use of two long-ignored resources: the concrete behemoths on the waterfront and the people who live in this community. It strikes me as positively democratic.

Federal judge Ed Kinkeade keeps records secret in lawsuit vs. Parkland
Secrecy is spreading at Dallas' federal courthouse about matters related to Parkland Memorial Hospital and UT Southwestern Medical Center.
Here's a chronological list of records that U.S. District Judge Ed Kinkeade (right) has prevented the public from seeing in litigation that fired Parkland manager Kim Akinwande initiated last month against the hospital:
1. Parkland's motion to seal the lawsuit, which named several Parkland executives or UT Southwestern Medical Center doctors who "all received lesser discipline than Akinwande for the same or similar conduct."
2. The suit itself (although you can still read it on our blog by clicking here).
3. Kinkeade's sealing order.
4. An objection to sealing filed by Michael Coles, Akinwande's lawyer.
5. Parkland's response to the suit (although a
has since become publicly available).
6. At least one more court order (the subject of which is secret).
Joel White, a lawyer in Austin who is a past president of the Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas, questioned the judge's actions.
"There's never a good reason to seal an order," White said. And "protecting people's reputations usually is not held to be sufficient to seal documents."
I tried to talk to Kinkeade about all this, but an aide refused to take a message.
Kinkeade, by the way, has considerable familiarity with health care governance. He served on the Baylor Health Care System board of trustees for about a decade, including a two-year term as chairman that began in 2006.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Directly blocking signaling by VEGFR2 expressed on cancer stem cells in glioblastoma may provide an approach to boosting the effectiveness of anti-VEGF therapies such as bevacizumab (Roche's Avastin), according to Danish researchers. A European team led by investigators at the Danish Cancer Society Research Center and Centre for Genotoxic Stress Research (CGSR) has shown that VEGFR2 is preferentially expressed on the cell surface of the CD133+ human glioma stem-like cells. Binding of tumor-released VEGF to the receptor triggers an autocrine signaling cascade that is key to bolstering cancer cell viability, self-renewal, and tumorigenicity, they claim
Effectively, the team suggests, bevacizumab can't inhibit the prosurvival effects of this VEGFR2-mediated signaling, whereas glioblastoma stem cell viability can be reduced by inhibiting VEGFR2 tyrosine kinase activity or through shRNA-mediated knockdown of VEGFR2 or the co-receptor NRP1. Reporting their findings in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, Jiri Bartek, M.D., and colleagues suggest that "direct inhibition of VEGFR2 kinase may block the highly dynamic VEGF-VEGFR2-NRP1 pathway and inspire a GBM treatment strategy to complement the currently prevalent ligand neutralization approach." Their studies are detailed in a paper titled "Autocrine VEGF–VEGFR2–Neuropilin-1 signaling promotes glioma stem-like cell viability and tumor growth."
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is just about invariably fatal, and tumors will recur despite initial treatment with bevacizumabs. The VEGF receptor VEGFR2 is crucial for VEGF-mediated responses in endothelial cells. While it has previously been thought that VEGF receptors are expressed almost exclusively by endothelial cells, more recent studies have suggested that VEGFRs expressed by tumor cells themselves play a role in GBM survival and resistance to VEGF inhibitors.
Research by the CGSR team has now shown that VEGFR2 is in fact expressed preferentially on the surface of CD133+ human glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) and that VEGF-VEGFR2-Neurophilin-1 (NRP1) signaling plays a key role in the viability, self-renewal, and tumorigenicity of these cells. Neuropilin-1 (NRP1) is a nonsignaling co-receptor of VEGFR2 previously identified in endothelial cells.
The team's initial studies showed that the receptor was present both on the surface and in the cytosol of CD133+ cells. Moreover, analysis of human GBM biopsies showed that VEGFR2+/CD133+ cell populations were located close to vascular structures.
The potential involvement of NRP1 in autocrine VEGF signaling was indicated by the finding that the protein colocalized with autophosphorylated and total VEGFR2 on frozen sections from clinical GBM specimens. Co-immunoprecipitation studies demonstrated that formation of the VEGFR2-NRP1 complex could be blocked by treating GBM cells with the humanized antibody bevacizumab but not by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor SU1498. As with other receptor tyrosine kinases such as EGFR and PDGFR, activation of VEGFR2 by phosphorylation rapidly led to receptor (and in this case NRP1) internalization. shRNA-mediated knockdown of NRP1 led to dramatically decreased VEGFR2 protein levels, "indicating a crucial role of NRP1 in VEGFR2 protein stability," the authors add.
Importantly, when compared with GBM cells that expressed only low levels of VEGFR2 (VEGFR2L), those that expressed high levels of the receptor both on the surface and in the cytosol (VEGF2H cells) exhibited a higher self-renewing potential, as evidence by their capacity to form tumor spheres. This finding correlated with results from other cell viability tests.
To gain further insights into VEGFR2 signaling by GSCs, the team assessed VEGF secretion by VEGFR2L and VEGFR2H cells sorted from bulk tumor populations. As expected, highly elevated levels of VEGF were detected in the conditioned media from cultured VEGFR2H in comparison with media from their VEGFR2L counterparts. This VEGF secretion was blocked by treating the cells with bevacizumab and significantly decreased following administration of the VEGFR2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor SU1498. Most notably, untreated VEGFR2H cells more quickly formed tumors when transplanted into experimental mice than the VEGFR2L cells.
To assess the contribution of VEGFR2 signaling to GSC self-renewal, survival, and tumor growth, the authors evaluated the effects of shRNA directed against human VEGFR2. VEGFR2H GBM cells were infected with lentivirus particles expressing shRNAs directed against one of two independent gene regions. This shRNA-mediated knockdown resulted in increased apoptosis and decreased viability of the VEGFR2H cells. Mice transplanted with the knockdown cells also demonstrated reduced tumor formation and longer survival. shRNA-mediated knockdown of NRP1 similarly resulted in enhanced apoptosis and decreased viability of GSCs, "thus further supporting the role of VEGFR2–NRP1 interaction in GSCs' survival," the team states.
Encouragingly, while treating VEGFR2H cells with the VEGFR2 kinase inhibitor SU1498 resulted in increased levels of cell death, combining the inhibitor with ionizing radiation enhanced apoptosis even further. In contrast, bevacizumab treatment alone didn't lead to any significant apoptosis. "These results highlight the differential impact of the biologically effective direct inhibition of VEGFR2 tyrosine kinase activity (by SU1948) versus the apparent inability of bevacizumab to evoke a desirable antitumor effect," the investigators remark. "We speculate that the latter phenomenon might reflect insufficient neutralization by bevacizumab of the continuously secreted VEGF ligand, thereby allowing for VEGFR2 signaling and, consequently, continued survival and growth of the tumor."
To add further weight to the observations that VEGFR2 kinase inhibition and antibody-mediated ligand neutralization have different biological effects, the investigators evaluated the viability of VEGFR2H cells treated using either SU1498 or bevacizumab or left untreated, irradiated, or sham-irradiated. Although bevacizumab treatment alone didn't impact on the viability of VEGFR2H cells, exposure to SU1498 led to a significant decrease in cell viability, and this effect was further increased when inhibitor treatment was followed by ionizing radiation (IR).
Bevacizumab in combination with IR did result in a significant decrease in cell viability, but this effect was less pronounced compared with tyrosine kinase inhibition by SU1498. And when either bevacizumab- or SU1498-treated cells were transplanted into immunocompromized mice, it was the tyrosine kinase inhibitor-treated cells that showed impaired tumorigenic capacity.
"In conclusion, the functional abrogation of the VEGFR2-NRP1-VEGF-regulated pathways can undermine GBM survival under various conditions including exposure to IR and reduce tumor formation," the authors conclude. "These results supported our concept that persistent autocrine VEGFR2 signaling represents a potent regulator of GSC growth under both in vitro and in vivo conditions. Moreover, this signaling apparently not only operates in GSC cell pools but stays active in a larger pool of progeny tumor cells, which can reactivate the autocrine loop by recycling internalized VEGFR2 back to the cell surface ... This concept offers new insights into GBM biology and identifies the VEGF-VEGFR2-NRP1 interplay as a novel and attractive target in therapy of malignant gliomas."

Disaster Planning-Pre and Post and Critical Incident Debriefing
Participants will learn about pre and post disaster planning as well as how to conduct a critical incident debriefing. Dr. Kathleen Figley has a tremendous amount of experience in both responding to disasters directly as well as training first responders and other service providers on how to lessen the impact of a natural or human caused disaster or critical incident while sustaining services. Some of the numerous events she has assisted with include Hurricane Andrew, 9-11, the 2004 Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. Dr. Figley will train participants on the critical elements of disaster preparedeness, what to expect after a disaster, how to address the impact of a major incident on advocates and survivors and how to conduct a critical incident debriefing. Co-facilitator Julie Ann Rivers-Cochran will offer her experiences working with domestic violence center staff immediately following major disasters such as Hurricane Katrina. She will explore the importance of leadership during crisis, the role of FCADV in supporting centers after a major incident and how the Administrative Rule's disaster planning requirements impact center policy and procedures. Together, Dr. Figley and Ms. Rivers-Cochran will provide practical knowlede and skills related to the intersection of the impact of major incidents (such as a natural or human caused disaster) and how to sustain services when advocates are directly impacted by the event.

It takes about 20 firefighters to successfully manage a typical structure fire.
The reality is, however, the city's paid fire department and the volunteer departments in the county lack sufficient manpower, which is calculated by the state Department of Community and Economic Development Governor's Center for Local Government Services.
That agency has undertaken a more than two-year study with fire departments from the city, DuBoistown, South Williamsport, Old Lycoming Township and Montoursville - known as the Greater Lycoming Emergency Services Alliances Committee - to find ways of better providing services to their communities.

RASHELLE CAREY/Sun-Gazette
Michael Caschera, DuBoistown Borough Council president, asks what local officials need to do in order for regonalized fire protection to occur.
Recommendations from the study, which was paid for by the Lycoming County commissioners with state grant money, were presented Tuesday night to local municipal leaders and fire service representatives.
Results indicated that the group should continue to explore ways of collaborating to realize cost savings and efficient use of manpower.
Jerry Ozog, DCED peer consultant, said some of the options include increasing the use of career firefighters in volunteer stations to improve response time, using paid incentives for volunteer firefighters and establishing on-call duty crews that respond from their homes.
An eventual goal would be to develop a fire commission that manages a regional or countywide fire and emergency medical service department, Ozog said.
Protecting the public and sending firefighters into burning buildings with small crews such as the Williamsport Bureau of Fire does is "incredibly dangerous," said Deputy Fire Chief Dave Dymeck.
That's why the city depends on mutual aid from neighboring volunteer departments, he said.
"A lot of times, we're sending one guy into a building. If he goes down, we won't know until help arrives," Dymeck said.
The city's paid, full-time firefighters may be able to help fledgling volunteer departments with low volunteer turnout, he added.
"We can all start working together to provide a better service. We need to make sure we get out the door every time," Dymeck said.
Rob Brady, a DCED consultant, said with today's economic and personnel constraints, both paid and volunteer fire departments can't afford the price tag of a new $1 million fire truck.
Between the member departments in the Alliance Committee, there are more than 45 pieces of apparatus, Brady said.
"That's a lot of rolling stock," he said. "That's a lot of money sitting out there."
Brady said the word "merger" intentionally was omitted in the study.
"We didn't use that because we don't know if that's going to be part of this," he said.
Other recent collaborations have been cited as examples of successful partnerships that have been formed in the county, including the Muncy area and Jersey Shore-Salladasburg area.
J.J. Magyar, a Montgomery Borough councilman and former Montgomery Volunteer Fire Co. officer, said department politics and territory needs to be set aside.
"Helping the people - that's what it's all about," he said.
Those involved at Tuesday's meeting agreed that elected municipal officials must take the next step to help the organization of fire departments structure itself.
"The way I look at it is, this is going to happen. It's the forces of economies coming together," said state Rep. Rick Mirabito, D-Williamsport.

i think ulquiorra's second form is a least rank 2 if not 1 those there have not shown an a attack as strong as ulquiorra's lanza del relampago and he has high speed regeneration. at any rate his release is much cooler than 1-3's releases
ulquiorras way better than them by alot :D =D
and Baragan is more deadly in his release form becase he controls time itself(~if you want to die stand in my way + if you want to live get out of my way = its your choice so choose wisely~)
Love... is just a different kind of pain.
I think of it like this look at yami who supposedly when released went on up to 0 yet he was beat even more easily than all the other espada! But still if you think he comes to at least I say 2 instead of 1 like Stark just for the fact that as he told Ichigo he is the only one that has the second release~All shall wither and die before my eyes~(-Otaku Graduate-)

Football Announces Team Captains for 2012 Season
Ball State's football team has announced Travis Freeman, Scott Kovanda, Connor Ryan and Keith Wenning will serve as team captains in 2012.
"Our team voted last week and made their top choices clear," Ball State head coach Pete Lembo says. "We have been emphasizing leadership and identifying leaders since our first team meeting back in January. Fortunately, our student-athletes had numerous quality teammates to choose from to fill these important roles. Connor, Travis, Keith and Scott will have a lot of help from some other veteran players in our program. The diversity of personalities and positions represented in this group will enable them to connect in a meaningful way with each player in the program."
Freeman, a senior linebacker, has started 35 of 36 games in his career and was a 2011 All-Mid-American Conference Team selection. He ranked ninth in the nation and second in the MAC in tackles last season with 119.
Kovanda, a senior punter, was a 2011 All-MAC Third Team selection and has been named to the Academic All-MAC team in 2010 and 2011. He was one of 10 semifinalists for the 2011 Ray Guy Award, which goes to the nation's most outstanding punter, after averaging 43.6 yards per punt as a junior.
Ryan, a junior wide receiver who earned honorable mention on the 2011 Academic All-MAC team, played in 11 games with two starts as a sophomore. Ryan managed 22 receptions for 228 yards with one touchdown for the Cardinals last year.
Wenning, a junior quarterback, has started the last 22 straight games for Ball State. He completed 287-of-449 passes for 2,786 yards in 2011 with 19 touchdown passes. Wenning set the Ball State school record for completions in a season, while his attempts ranked second and his passing yards were third all-time in the Cardinals record books.
Ball State will open the 2012 season Thurs., Aug. 30, in a home game vs. MAC foe Eastern Michigan at Scheumann Stadium.

Why should the Germans be the only ones to build super sedans? This was the question Cadillac asked when they built the fire-breathing CTS-V, and now the Swedes are asking it too. The result of this Scandinavian introspection is the Volvo S60 Polestar concept, a tuned version of S60 sedan which will be giving the Germans something to think about. With its turbocharged inline-six engine, the standard car produces 300 horsepower and 325lb-ft of torque, enough to stay competitive with Germany's middleweights. But there is no engine swap for the Polestar concept, and you might be wondering how it could possibly keep up with, say, an M5.
Well, Volvo's in-house tuning people at Polestar have cranked the engine up to 508 horsepower and 424lb-ft of torque. This is achieved by way of a Garret 3171 turbocharger, modified cylinder heads and combustion chambers, a modified air intake and a new 3.5-inch Ferrita exhaust system. That power is sent through a Haldex all-wheel-drive system and the car is capable of a 0-60 time of just 3.9 seconds. That makes it quicker than an M5 or an E63 AMG, and ties it with a CTS-V. They've even painted it in that shade of blue which somehow makes Volvos look faster, not an easy thing to do.
The concept is coming to the L. A. Auto Show at the end of this month, according to Winding Road. But we should all remember that the S60 Polestar is still only a concept. Volvo have issued the usual statement about how they'll build the car if there's sufficient public interest, but we're not sure how much excitement Volvo buyers are likely to generate over a super sedan with a 186 mph top speed. We still think it would be great if Volvo built it, if for no other reason than giving all those M5 owners something to be jealous about.

Strategic Asset Allocation: Determining the Optimal Portfolio with Ten Asset Classes

October 2009
This study explores which asset classes add value to a traditional portfolio of stocks, bonds and cash. Next, we determine the optimal weights of all asset classes in the optimal portfolio. This study adds to the literature by distinguishing ten different investment categories simultaneously in a mean-variance analysis as well as a market portfolio approach. We also demonstrate how to combine these two methods. Our results suggest that real estate, commodities and high yield add most value to the traditional asset mix. A study with such a broad coverage of asset classes has not been conducted before, not in the context of determining capital market expectations and performing a mean-variance analysis, neither in assessing the global market portfolio.

Nature enthusiasts and those wanting to learn more about the natural world gathered this week to learn about a program geared to increase knowledge and appreciation of nature.
Tommy Zeitz, local master naturalist and coordinator for the Tygart Valley Master Naturalist Chapter, met with those attending the public meeting at the state Division of Natural Resources in Elkins Tuesday to provide information about the program, answer questions and obtain student applications for the upcoming season's classes.
Master naturalist training is offered in a broad range of specialties in the fields of natural history and environmental education with topics including mushrooms, wildflowers, insects, snakes, birds, mammals, weather, geology and fossils, all from a West Virginia perspective.

The Tygart Valley Master Naturalist Chapter recognizes two members earning West Virginia Master Naturalist certification. Tommy Zeitz, chapter coordinator, presents certificates to Pete Rykert and Sam Muncy at the DNR in Elkins this week during an information meeting.
To become certified as a master naturalist, students must complete 64 hours of classroom and field training. Certification also requires 30 hours of volunteer work. Each year, eight hours of continuing education and 16 hours of volunteer time must be obtained. Class and volunteer hours take about two years to complete, and most classes are offered locally.
Also on Tuesday, Zeitz recognized and presented certificates to the two newest certified master naturalists in the Tygart Valley Chapter. Pete Rykert and Sam Muncy both completed the requirements necessary be certified master naturalists.
More information about the master naturalist program and upcoming classes is available by calling Zeitz at 304-866-7418.

In the next several weeks there's a chance you'll receive a phone call from an organization seeking your input for a survey on the very newspaper you're holding in your hands and reading right now.
I know – some telephone surveys can be inconvenient and even downright bothersome. Honestly, I feel that way about many telephone opinion polls, especially political ones, even though I'm an elected official.
This survey you might be contacted about, however, really is noteworthy. It's an annual effort by the National Newspaper Association to gauge readers' views on their local paper.
Your personal views are important.
In an era marked by the overload of 24-hour cable news and non-stop talking heads on television, the weekly and small daily newspapers in our communities continue their valuable tradition of helping to strengthen communities, promote local economies, and report on local governments.
Now is an especially appropriate time to consider the contributions that community newspapers make to our shared quality of life: Oct. 6-12 is National Newspaper Week.
A majority of community newspaper readers understand and appreciate these contributions. This fact was made clear from last year's survey by the National Newspaper Association, which released the results earlier this year.
"The numbers are self-evident," said Merle Baranczyk, president of the National Newspaper Association and publisher of a community newspaper in Colorado. "They [responses] indicate the level of connectedness people have with their community newspaper."
"From year to year, the studies have shown that people believe in their local papers, for the news they need and the advertising they rely on."
Consider the responses in the latest survey, which sampled readers in small communities where the circulation of the local paper was 15,000 or less:
• 92 percent said they thought local newspapers were informative.
• 84 percent said they looked forward to reading their local paper.
• 83 percent agreed that they relied on their local paper for news and information.
• 69 percent thought their local paper provided valuable advertising and shopping information.
In some ways, despite the rise of the Internet and smartphones, community newspapers are becoming even more important, because they help foster something that the Internet and communications gadgets can't provide – a sense of being part of a community and knowing what's happening in it.
After all, it's in the pages of community newspapers where folks can read about civic club projects, church gatherings, honor roll listings, birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions, and other special events that add meaning to our day-to-day lives and create memories.
In this way, community newspaper readers enjoy a special connection through their local paper – a relationship to the community, if you will.
Other statistics from last year's newspaper survey bear out these facts, too.
On average, respondents said they normally spend about 40 minutes reading through their local paper. And nearly half said they hold onto it for more than 10 days.
And unlike some other modern-day media outlets, community newspapers are trusted by those they serve.
About 70 percent of the survey participants said the accuracy and coverage of their local paper is "good" or "excellent," with 59 percent saying the same about their paper's fairness.
Thomas Jefferson once said that if he were left to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers – or newspapers without a government – he wouldn't hesitate to choose newspapers.
I think readers of today's community newspapers realize the wisdom of Jefferson's words.

Olympic skier Julia Mancuso took the bronze in Monday's super-combined event in Sochi, adding to the two silver medals she already has from the 2010 games in Vancouver and the gold from 2006 in Turin.
On Wednesday, she's going for another medal in the ladies' downhill.
As you cheer her on, here are five things to know about the 29-year-old champion.
1. She Does Pilates in Ski Boots
"I spend 7 hours in the Pilates studio with a trainer that makes me put my ski boots on," she tells PEOPLE. "It's called neurokinetic Pilates, but we get in the ski position and do stuff – ski moves to get the right muscles to fire."
2. She Has an Underwear Line
Mancuso's underwear line, called "Kiss My Tiara," reflects her penchant for a little flair on the ski slope. "When you're on the ski hill, there's not a lot of things that are not technical, but your underwear can be whatever you want it to be, and you're the only person [who] really knows what it is unless you choose to share," she says. "So, it was just since I had lucky underwear, it kind of felt like my calling."
3. She Doesn't Like Carbs
The night before an event, Mancuso doesn't carb-load. "It's a lot of protein and vegetables and not a lot of carbs," she says. "Naturally, I don't really like pasta. I like pasta when I'm in Italy."
4. She Thinks Speeding Downhill at 60 to 70 m.p.h. in a Race Feels Slow
"Well, I think in competition when you're racing you're so focused," she says. "I visualize so many times and it feels slow, so it's the opposite of what you would think. You're going so fast but you know exactly what's going to happen and so when you're going 60 or 70 it really just feels like everything's kind of slowed down and … it's like a high-speed camera, you know, more frames per second."
5. She Travels with 40 Pairs of Skis
"Typically in summer training I'll have probably 40 pairs of skis," she says, adding that it's similar when traveling to the Olympics. But Mancuso doesn't have to foot the bill for her custom-made equipment. "Skis and boots I guess if you had to buy it would be like about $1,000 a ski, plus whatever, so a lot of money. Well, you can't buy those skis, they're special made."

Peter van Straaten is one of Holland's best known cartoonists. He is especially known for his merciless depictions of the common man, and for his daily newspaper comic 'Vader en Zoon' ('Father and Son'). This comic was a parody of life with generational conflict during the 1960s and 70s and was printed in Het Parool from 1968. Van Straaten had begun his affiliation with Het Parool in 1958, shortly after completing his art studies in Amsterdam. Besides his political illustrations and books on Dutch politics such as 'Bij Ons in het Dorp' and 'De Janboel', Peter has been drawing cartoons of "scenes from daily life of common people" for several decades.
Van Straaten's 'daily life' cartoons have been published in several newspapers and magazines (Het Parool, Algemeen Dagblad) and collected in various cartoon books, while his erotic work was published in Humo and Penthouse. Political cartoons by Van Straaten were published in Vrij Nederland from 1968. Peter van Straaten also produces a day-by-day calendar every year, called 'Peter's Zeurkalender'.
'In Our Little Village' was a metaphor for Dutch society, in which our
prime minister Van Agt had a dual role as pastor and a police officer.
Besides being a talented artist, he is also a gifted writer. For years, his column "Agnes - scenes from a messy life" was one of the most popular features of the weekly magazine Vrij Nederland. Another comic by Van Straaten is the dark and mysterious 'Llewelyn Fflint', that he made in cooperation with Yvan Delporte for Pep magazine in 1972-1973.
Peter van Straaten won the Inktspotprijs for one of his cartoons about Mabel Wisse Smit in 2003. He announced his retirement from his daily cartoon in Het Parool in February 2012. In July 2014, he also cancelled his weekly cartoon for Vrij Nederland.

When my friend Marian Prezyna called to tell me about a Green Information Day she and other members of the Marilla Conservation Advisory Board were sponsoring in the town, I couldn't bring myself to admit to her that I didn't know were Marilla was. I had even visited Marian's attractive home and her lovely herb gardens several summers ago, but I didn't associate her property with the town in which it is located.
So I looked it up on my AAA road map of Western New York. I found there that Marilla lies on the eastern border of Erie County, east of Elma, south of Alden and north of Wales. It borders on the east the Town of Bennington in Wyoming County. The Village of Marilla is located at the intersection of Two Rod and Bullis roads.
To get to Marilla, simply drive out Clinton or Broadway to Two Rod Road and turn south. You'll be in the township within a mile or two.
Intrigued, I Googled Marilla on the Web and found an overwhelming amount of information. What I learned suggests that Marilla is an attractive rural community, a view that Prezyna strongly supported.
Which finally brings me to the free program her committee is sponsoring on Saturday at the Marilla Community Center, 1810 Two Rod Road. The announced goal of the program is to help those attending learn alternative methods of gardening, awareness of ecological and environmental practices and how these practices affect our everyday lifestyles. Prezyna tells me that she and the other members of the advisory board "are bringing this event to residents of Marilla and the surrounding area to encourage self reliance, sustainability, reduced dependence on toxic chemicals and the benefits and rewards of becoming a 'backyard naturalist.' " Following her introductory remarks at 10:45 a.m., the next five hours will be given over to hour-long seminars, each with an outstanding leader. The brochure describing them suggests: "Attend a few or enjoy them all."
At 11 a.m., the topic is "The Keys of Gardening Organically" led by Lynn Chimera. She is a master gardener, author, gardening consultant and counselor based at her East Aurora store, Lessons from Nature. Chimera's presentation will include ideas about how to compost.
At noon, Sally Cunningham, author, News freelance columnist, director of the National Garden Festival and today the central figure in regional gardening circles, will lead "Becoming Eco-Friendly in your Yard and Garden." Among other things, she will share some of her ideas about how to attract and deal with wildlife.
At 1 p.m., Paul Fuhrmann will lead the seminar on "Managing Invasive Species of Flora in Rural Landscapes." Fuhrmann is regional leader of New York State's Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management, an important activity organized by our state Department of Environmental Conservation.
At 2 p.m., the seminar subject will be "Establishing Bluebird Habitat in your Backyard," led by Mark Carra, the nationally known animal expert who serves today as naturalist for the Buffalo Audubon Society.
At 3 p.m., Debbie Beats, Cornell Cooperative Extension volunteer, 4-H leader and member of the Marilla Conservation Advisory Board, will present "Home Canning for Today."
Also participating in the program will be the staff of Messinger Woods, bringing one of its feathered ambassadors.

WASHINGTON – Sen. Charles E. Schumer on Tuesday announced his support for Chuck Hagel's nomination as defense secretary, saying a 90- minute meeting with the former Nebraska senator was enough to allay earlier concerns about the nominee's views on Iran and Israel.
Calling the Monday meeting "a very constructive session," Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement: "Based on several key assurances provided by Sen. Hagel, I am currently prepared to vote for his confirmation. I encourage my Senate colleagues who have shared my previous concerns to also support him."
Schumer's support was considered essential for the Hagel nomination to move forward, given Schumer's clout and the bipartisan criticism Hagel's nomination has produced.
Several key Republicans, including Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., have expressed deep reservations about Hagel, a moderate Republican, because of his criticism of the Iraq War. Meanwhile, some Democrats have had qualms over his views on Israel and long-ago comments on gay rights.
For Schumer, the key concerns were whether Hagel would be tough enough in preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons and whether the nominee fully supports Israel.
In their meeting at the White House, Schumer said, Hagel eased those concerns, as well as others about gay rights.
"In our conversation, Sen. Hagel made a crystal-clear promise that he would do 'whatever it takes' to stop Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons, including the use of military force," Schumer said.
Hagel also told Schumer that preparing to meet any challenge from Iran would be his "top priority" as defense secretary. In addition, Hagel said he supports current Obama administration sanctions against Iran, while adding that further sanctions may be necessary.
On Israel, Hagel told Schumer that he supports Israel's right to retaliate against attacks by Hezbollah or Hamas.
"He understood the predicament Israel is in when terrorist groups hide rocket launchers among civilian populations and stage attacks from there," Schumer said. "He supported Israel's right to defend herself even in those difficult circumstances."
And despite earlier indications and statements, Hagel made clear that he considers Hezbollah and Hamas to be terrorist organizations the U.S. should not negotiate with until they renounce terrorism and recognize Israel's right to exist.
"Regarding his unfortunate use of the term 'Jewish lobby' to refer to certain pro-Israel groups, Sen. Hagel understands the sensitivity around such a loaded term and regrets saying it," said Schumer, one of the leading Jewish legislators in Congress and the third-ranking Democrat in the Senate.
As for Hagel's views on gay rights, he apparently quelled concerns over his late 1990s comments about a gay nominee for an ambassadorship, James Hormel. At the time, Hagel labeled Hormel "openly, aggressively gay," prompting gay rights advocates to question Hagel's nomination as defense secretary 14 years later.
Hagel apologized for those comments last month, and in the meeting with Schumer, he said he supported repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, which until recently forced gays in the military to remain in the closet.
Schumer said he is convinced that Hagel's evolved views on all those issues are genuine and not just words aimed at ensuring his confirmation. "While the Senate confirmation process must be allowed to run its course, it is my hope that Sen. Hagel's thorough explanations will remove any lingering controversy regarding his nomination," Schumer said.
