|The Biological Implications of the PP2A Crystal Structure
Phosphatases, enzymes that remove a phosphate group from amino-acid substrates, can be subdivided according to their substrate specificity. Myriad evidence has demonstrated that protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), a family of serine/threonine-specific (Ser/Thr) phosphatases, regulates many, if not most, aspects of cellular activities and is a critical tumor suppressor. A team at the University of Washington recently determined the first crystal structure of a PP2A holoenzyme (a form sufficient for full catalytic activity) composed of three different subunits (i.e., a heterotrimer). Their structure provides a foundation for understanding PP2A regulation, satisfactory mechanistic explanations for human tumorigenic mutations, and the structural basis for understanding PP2A substrate recruitment and specificity, a critical issue, given the high number of PP2A substrates.
Recent work has shown that many phosphatases are highly regulated, largely through the formation in the right place and right time of active protein phosphatase complexes with different regulatory or targeting subunits. Together with its cousin PP1, PP2A accounts for greater than 90% of Ser/Thr phosphatase activity in most tissues and cells. Deregulation of PP2A is associated with multiple human cancers, Alzheimer's Disease, and increased susceptibility to pathogen infections. A typical PP2A holoenzyme contains a scaffold A subunit, a catalytic C subunit, and one of many possible (at least 18 in humans) regulatory B subunits, which are divided into B, B', B" and B'" families. The formation of an ABC heterotrimeric PP2A holoenzyme is in part controlled by the methylation of the C-terminal carboxyl group at one end of the catalytic subunit.
After years of painstaking struggle, using data collected at ALS Beamlines 5.0.2 and 8.2.2, the Washington team determined the first crystal structure of the PP2A heterotrimeric holoenzyme containing Aα, Cα, and B56γ1 subunits as well as an inhibitor protein. The structure revealed the overall domain organization of PP2A holoenzyme and all-important interfaces that determine the assembly of a functional PP2A holoenzyme, and therefore provided a foundation for understanding PP2A regulation by PP2A post-transcriptional modifications (e.g., phosphorylation and methylation) and the binding of PP2A regulatory proteins. For example, functional assembly of an ABC heterotrimeric PP2A holoenzyme is regulated by the methylation of the C-terminal carboxyl group at one end of the catalytic subunit.
Structural details revealed include 15 modules comprising multiple amino acids called HEAT repeats that form a horseshoe-shaped scaffold in the PP2A A subunit and use one side of its ridge to hold the catalytic C and regulatory B56γ1(B') subunits together. The structure also showed that the C-terminal tail of the C subunit resides on the interface between the A and B subunits and thus stabilizes the A–B interaction. Strikingly, the methylated C-terminal carboxyl group is docked in a highly negatively charged groove. Once demethylated, there would be charge–charge repulsion between this groove and the negative charge in the C-terminal carboxyl group. It is likely that the methylation of the C-terminal carboxyl group regulates PP2A assembly by simply neutralizing charge repulsion.
In addition, the team's structure also provided satisfactory mechanistic explanations for human tumorigenic mutations, which are mostly found in the inter-subunit interfaces in the structure. Regarding PP2A substrate recruitment and specificity, the structure of the PP2A holoenzyme shows that the active site is located in the middle of a large open surface, with the majority of this surface provided by the large concave surface of the B' regulatory subunit. Therefore PP2A substrates can be recruited to the active site from various surfaces or directions. The structure thus reveals potential surface areas that may participate in substrate recognition.
In sum, the Washington team's structure of the PP2A holoenzyme does not answer all questions regarding PP2A regulation, but it does allow testing such questions at the next level.

He was only 10 years old when the abuse started.
He's now in his 30s, and federal investigators believe they finally have the man who molested him.
They also believe there may be more victims.
"We're trying to get the word out," Jason R. Jarnagin, supervisory special agent for the FBI's Violent Crimes Against Children Squad in Buffalo, said Tuesday. "We think there are additional victims out there."
The FBI is going so far as to release a photo of David Allen Vickers, the Ontario County man now accused of abusing the young boy from Buffalo and a second underage victim from Batavia.
Vickers appeared Monday before U.S. Magistrate Judge H. Kenneth Schroeder and was charged with transportation of a minor with intent to engage in sexual activity. The charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison and a maximum of life.
Now 49, Vickers is accused of sexually abusing the boy from Buffalo over a 10-year period starting in 1989 and the Batavia boy over a four-year period starting in 2000.
"It goes to show the FBI will pursue any crime against children, regardless of the age of the crime," Jarnagin said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron J. Mango said Vickers, an over-the-road truck driver, took the Batavia victim on trips to New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Canada and engaged in sexual activity with the minor.
Like Jarnagin, Mango is convinced other boys may have been targeted by Vickers. "The government has obtained information that the defendant had contact with other victims," he said. "We're looking for anyone who has had contact with him as a minor."
Vickers' arrest Friday – he remains in federal custody – came just two weeks after his brother, Sean Vickers, was arrested by Batavia police in another sexual abuse case.
Batavia Detective Kevin Czora said the felony charges against Sean Vickers – sodomy and course of sexual conduct against a child – grew out of an investigation into allegations from several other underage boys.
"From there, we started doing more research into Sean Vickers' history, and it just escalated from here," Czora said Tuesday.
Sean Vickers is not charged in the federal complaint against his brother, but he is mentioned in it.
FBI agents said it was Sean Vickers who introduced his brother to the boy from Batavia.
David Vickers' lawyer, Federal Public Defender Tracy Hayes, said he could not comment on the allegations against his client.

That's called "The Brendan Shanahan Effect".
On the Alfie/Bourque comparisons, those we really different situations. Alfie's leaving as a UFA where Bourque was traded at the deadline by a GM/organization that was trying to get him a Cup specifically.

In economics, (1) Materials or equipment used to produce goods (e.g., tools, parts, inventory, buildings, fixtures, hours of training); or (2) money that is used in a business venture. Capital is created by saving, rather than consuming, economic output. Over time, saving accumulates into capital; it also depreciates.
The total amount of capital in an economy is very important in determining total output.

SHAUN STANLEY/Durango Herald
American Legion Post No. 28, founded in Durango in 1921, has a problem. It�s something that all such venerable organizations must face at one time or another: Its membership is getting older and dwindling.
That�s the sobering truth. But the more hopeful truth is that in this problem lies opportunity. Any soldiers out there looking for a place to mold into a hangout that can thrive in the 21st century?
�Us Vietnam-era vets are getting to be old-timers,� post chairman and acting manager Mike Goodwin says on a recent evening. �We need for the young people coming back from our recent wars to come in and take this place over from us, because we�d hate to see it go under.�
And, he adds, they are welcome to make changes.
�As far as what they want to do and events they want to sponsor,� says Goodwin, 70, who joined the Durango Legion post in 1966 after serving in Vietnam and Berlin, �it�s all up to them.�
Sound intriguing?
The Legion owns its building and land. There�s a bar, pool table and juke box in the front room, and a large hall that can hold up to 200 guests for, well, use your imagination: weddings, parties, bands � the place gets loud on heavy-metal night once or twice a month.
It�s a Thursday, which means it�s taco day. Some Thursdays, that brings in a couple dozen visitors; tonight it�s only a dozen, if that, and half of those are involved in this story.
I�m chatting with Goodwin, Clark Cunningham, Tony Madril and Guy Gervais. And I�m sipping on a cold draft Budweiser provided by bartender Greg Grafalo, who�s also a board member; it feels like the right thing to do here (don�t tell my boss). The guys are giving it to me straight: We need younger members or we�re going to lose our relevance.
For two hours we talk about the state of the Legion, the veterans, and the world. We talk about how communication has changed in the past half-century, how participation in organizations has changed, how the military has changed. But we also note the things that haven�t changed: the camaraderie that soldiers foster, the alienation that veterans can feel.
Before going any farther, some of you (myself included) need more information and a history lesson. What is the American Legion? Who can join? How is it different from the Veterans of Foreign Wars, which also has a post here?
The American Legion was formed in 1919, just after World War I, as �a patriotic, mutual-help and community service organization,� according to the Legion�s website. Trujillo-Sheets Post 28 of the American Legion was established in 1921 in Durango, named after two local veterans killed in France.
Their framed pictures hang in the hall, next to photos of post commanders from 1921 to the present (Dick Messier). From the accompanying text you learn that Joe Trujillo died Sept. 18, 1918, during the siege of Saint-Mihiel, and that Wiley Sheets died Nov. 1, 1918, during the Battle of the Argonne Forest, just 10 days before an armistice ended the war. The Durango Legion set up at its current spot around 1950, just a few years after World War II ended.
The Legion accepts members of the military who served during foreign wars, even if they didn�t serve overseas. It also has a ladies auxiliary and a Sons of the American Legion. The VFW accepts those who served in conflicts outside the U.S. The country�s first VFW sprung up in 1899 in Denver after the Spanish-American War.
For some, the Legion is a social place � a spot to talk to someone with shared experiences. That�s how it has been for folks such as Goodwin, who took over as local commander in 1968, still in his 20s, still with fresh memories of Vietnam.
�The camaraderie that we had (overseas) is what we translated to clubs like this,� says Vietnam vet Guy Gervais, 63. �That camaraderie for a lot of people is all they have going.�
Says Cunningham, �They�ve all listened to the sergeant explain to them what they�re going to do that day � whether they�ve liked it or not.�
For others it�s a support group � a place to get information on who can help with benefits, medical or financial.
�We honor the dead by helping the living,� says Cunningham, 70. �And we follow those words to the end of the line to make sure our veterans are not forgotten.�
The members are honest about the changing times. They ask: Can veterans social clubs survive in this new paradigm, where technology has forever changed the way people communicate and in an America where men often have to stay home with the kids because mom�s working? Can an Afghanistan vet establish a deep bond with a Vietnam vet? Madril says he understands how it�s easy to look at the Legion as an �old man�s club.�
Says Cunningham: �We were young when we joined. We�d look at (World War II veterans) the same way: �What a bunch of old guys, sitting at the bar.� And they�d say, �Ah, these kids from Vietnam.�
�We know what they�re going through.�
Gervais, who finished his military stint as a drill sergeant at Fort Benning, Ga., uses the soft sell when he recruits. He doesn�t want to chase anyone away, but he wants Iraq or Afghanistan vets to understand that the alienation they may feel is not endemic to their generation.
�Maybe they don�t feel we�re sympathetic to their problems,� he says, �but we are.
�Trust me, dude, we�re there for you.�

Stetson baseball fans will get their first glimpse of the new-look Hatters tonight at 6:30 when Stetson hosts Saint Joseph's to open the 2013 season.
The Hatters return just two starters from the 2012 opening day lineup. Seniors Kurt Schluter and Mitchel Brennan will be joined by eight new players in the Stetson lineup when they take the field tonight.
The task at hand this weekend will not be an easy one. Saint Joseph's has a veteran team under fifth-year head coach Fritz Hamburg and is expecting to contend for the Atlantic 10 Conference title.
Contending for conference titles is always the expectation for Stetson and, as newly elected Hall of Fame coach Pete Dunn enters his 34th season at the helm for his alma mater, expectations this year are no different, even with a young club.
"We have got to get our feet under us early because the schedule is very tough," Dunn said. "Saint Joseph's comes in here with a veteran club and I am sure they are going to be excited to be in Florida and out of the cold weather. We have to be able to match their enthusiasm and intensity."
The Hatters' success this year, especially early on, will lie with the starting pitchers. Schluter is looking to bounce back to the form that helped him earn All-America honors in 2011 while also earning Atlantic Sun Conference Pitcher of the Year honors.
He will be making his second consecutive opening-night start. He worked six innings in the opener last year against George Washington to earn the win in a 19-7 Stetson victory. He finished the 2012 season with a 5-3 mark and a 5.45 ERA.
Schluter will be opposed in the opening game by junior right-hander Kyle Mullen. A native of Berwyn, Pa., Mullen was a first-team All A-10 pick last year and was also named the Philadelphia Big 5 Pitcher of the Year. He posted a 6-4 mark with a 3.07 ERA with 90 strikeouts in 105 innings of work.
Mullen posted a perfect 5-0 record in A-10 play last year with a 1.99 ERA and the Hawks have won each of his last 13 league starts.
The Hatters will be looking to continue their success against teams from Pennsylvania in the weekend series. Stetson owns an all-time record of 51-7 against 12 Keystone State teams, including an all-time series record of 16-2 against the Hawks. This will be the first meeting between the teams since the 2005 season.
Stetson will also be looking to increase a modest two-game season opening win streak. In addition to the win over George Washington last year, the Hatters opened the 2011 campaign with a 6-3 victory over Georgia. All-time Stetson is 50-42-2 in season openers. Coach Dunn's teams have posted a 22-11 mark in his 33 previous opening days.
The Hatters and Hawks will play the second game of their weekend series on Saturday at 2 p.m. with the series finale set for Sunday at 1 p.m.

By Charles Lamb
For many years, the public has faithfully gone to hearings called by the Department of Environmental Conservation with regard to issues at the hazardous waste landfill in Niagara County.
Year after year, the great majority of speakers have pointed out the danger of trucking toxics here from many states, the unsuitability of burying them in the watershed area of Lake Ontario, the higher-than-normal rates of childhood cancer in the area and the frequency of trucks leaking en route to the site.
Recently another hearing was held concerning Chemical Waste Management's request to have its permit renewed for continued operation. Once more the majority of people present opposed this.
Many reasons were given, including these provided by the Sierra Club:
• Failure of the DEC to complete an appropriate modification to CWM's State Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems permit to limit PCB and mercury discharges.
• Failure of the DEC to require excavation protocols to protect its workers and the community from exposure to radiological materials known to exist on its property.
• Failure of the DEC to require appropriate financial assurances for perpetual maintenance.
David Denk, the DEC's regional permit administrator, said the department already "has made a tentative determination" to renew CWM's operating permit "with some modifications."
Nils Olsen, retired dean of the University at Buffalo Law School, stated that there seemed to be a "symbiotic relationship" between CWM and some representatives of the DEC.
The Department of Environmental Conservation should remember its name, and not become a department with a bias toward granting permits. There are adequate reasons why the permit should be denied.
Once this permit is granted, if it is, CWM plans to make another permit request to expand its operation so as to continue bringing hazardous materials here for decades to come. This in spite of the determination by the DEC itself that there is no need for another hazardous waste facility in New York State and a resolution by the Niagara County Legislature that the presence of such facilities is an economic detriment to the area.
The present landfill will reach capacity within two years. After that, workers will be needed to guard and maintain it. It is time to end the bringing of hazardous wastes to this environmentally sensitive area.
Comments may be made to the DEC until March 29 with regard to CWM's permit application. They may be sent to David Denk, NYS DEC Region 9, 270 Michigan Ave., Buffalo, NY 14203 or emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Proof a mom's job never ends. :)ReplyDelete
Once you're a mom you're always a mom no matter how old your kids are.ReplyDelete
She is a great mom and I don't think she is looking for a pay back. She'll be happy if you never place her in the nursing home when she is old, ha!

I have to comment on Amy's comment...I got a kick out of that. She is right. I don't want to be stuck in a nursing home. I remember Noah telling me that I can live with him when he grows up.ReplyDelete
Totally agree, sometimes we just need our moms!ReplyDelete
i know exactly what you mean. i am in the same spot. 20 weeks pregnant and sick, sick, SICK! thank God for the gift of motherhood!ReplyDelete
Being a mom, I know that just being appreciative is payment enough. We love to help our kids, especially when they're good kids like I have, and like your mom has.ReplyDelete
My mama rules, too. Always here, always helping, always cheering me on. We are SOOOOOO lucky!!!! Feel better, darlin.ReplyDelete
It always seems that my mom is around at all the right times too! Yeah for mommies! :)ReplyDelete
If we can only be half as good as they are to us when our kids get older, I'd be happy!

A 9 1/2-foot alligator was among those who flocked to the Isle of Palms this morning.
"It was laying right there on the beach, which is totally unusual because they don't like saltwater," said Sam Chappelear, wildlife regional coordinator for the S.C. Department of Natural Resources.
The alligator, photographed by Tabitha Safdi about 7:45 a.m., caused a bit of a stir after it was reportedly seen by joggers.
The gator was euthanized as policy dictates, Chappelear said, because alligators typically return to their last location even after they have been moved. The agent measured the gator at 9 1/2 feet.
Chappelear said the gator could have wound up there because of recent heavy rains.
"There's freshwater in places where we don't typically have freshwater," he said.

Cornell Collapse
Cornell's attempt to win their first title since 1978 falls short. Cornell had played brilliantly for the past 175 minutes. In their wins over Princeton, and UVA, Cornell controlled play from whistle to whistle. Even in the Championship game, Cornell looked dominating until the last 3:47 of the game.
John Glynn opened up the scoring with the first two Cornell goals, as it looked like it was going to be a long day for the Syracuse faithful. Syracuse finally got on the board with 5:46 left on a play that would epitomize Syracuse's day. Daniello shot and was stuffed by Cornell goalie Jake Myers. In the ensuing scrum for the rebound behind the net, Daniello scooped up the ball drove around the other side of the cage and scored. Cornell would win the strategic game play, but SU would win the unsettled situations.
Each team would ad one more goal, so at the end of the first quarter it was 3-2 Cornell. While time of possession is not an official stat, by my estimate it would have been 10 minutes Cornel to 5 Syracuse.
Cornell was methodical as their defense started playing a very tight zone. This kept SU from getting any good scoring chances in tight. Their offense was virtually running the clock. For all you youngsters out there, Cornell is a prime example of why backing up a shot is necessary. On almost every shot that went out, Cornell got the ball back.
The second quarter saw much of the same, as Cornell added another 3 goals and Syracuse 2, making it 6-4 Cornell at the half. Syracuse's defense looked sluggish. They just weren't getting it done at this point, and their man-down defense that had been so good all year was 50% as Max Seibald connected on an EMO chance in the 2nd.
The third quarter was boring. Cornell dominated the clock however, after halftime, SU's defense seemed to wake up. Cornell only netted one goal in the third quarter and did not convert on their two EMO opportunities. While Syracuse only had 3 shots, one of them went in from Josh Amidon. At the end of the third, it was 7-5 Cornell.
All year long Syracuse scored in surges. Typically it came in the late second or third quarters. They might average 1-2 per quarter and then all of a sudden nail 4 in a short span of time.
In the fourth quarter, there seemed to be no spurt. When Roy Lang scored to put Cornell up by 3 with 5:31 remaining in the game, some even in the press box started to write Syracuse off…literally prepping their stories for how Cornell broke into the Fab4 of lacrosse. The SU faithful kept holding on for that late spurt. And then it came.
Tierney came with an over the head check on a Cornell player stripping the ball leading to a Hardy to Keogh goal. Syracuse was down by 2. Less than a minute later, Amadon found Cody Jamison for another goal. Syracuse down by 1 with 2:46 left.
The last 35 seconds of the game should be immortalized. Syracuse had the ball on offense and threw the ball away with less than 30 to go in the game. It all but sealed the fate of the game. Cornell had to clear the ball from their end line.
Max Seibald passed the ball up to defenseman Matt Moyer. Kenny Nims was all over Moyer, and in one fleeting diving check, knocked the ball loose. Somehow Keogh got the loose ball and hurled it up to anyone. Matt Abbott pulled the ball in and cheaped another pass in the general direction of the goal. The ball was tipped off of Cornell Middie Roy Lang's stick right to Nims who gets a falling shot past Jake Myers for the game tying goal with 4 seconds left.
Sudden Death
Cornell won the faceoff and in a move I can not understand, they did not call a time out to set up a play and halt the SU momentum that had been building up. Instead Sid Smith stripped the ball giving possession to Syracuse.
Hardy drove in and looked like he wanted the take. As Cody Jamison's defender slid to pick up Hardy, Hardy passed to Cody sitting on the side of the goal for an easy goal to win it in OT.
Syracuse won their 11th title. Cornell was denied history. Max Seibald will forever be haunted by the number 4. Max Seibald said, "Four seconds away … It seems to be a number that haunts us. When we sophomores, that was the number on the board when Duke scored on us. That makes it even tougher for us."

5 Batman Villains Too Lame To Survive a Single Issue
Predating the more popular Dr. Doom by 12 years, Batman's Doctor Doom wasn't quite as menacing. He was a smuggler that Batman and Robin had never fought or talked about until Commissioner Gordon called them and told them where he was. This panel of him attempting suicide was actually the first time readers got a look at him:
"Doctor Doom! We meet at la- never mind! Well, Commissioner, this Doctor Doom character is either an average to below average swimmer or he's dead. Or he could be this shadowy shape right below the water's surface. Call me if you need any other super crimes solved."
While the superheroes and police reminisced about their second long battle against Doctor Doom, he climbed out of the water and hid in the mummy case he stole. And since it was only a priceless relic and the very thing they were working to recover, Commissioner Gordon gives it to Batman to "remind him of his triumph." This was about the craziest thing possible for a cop to do, but to be fair he was probably being sarcastic. Batman's "triumph" was getting a phone call to come to the pier and doing nothing while a man killed himself. That's kind of like helping a brother and sister get their cat out of a tree and then leaving with the top half of the girl.
Batman drove the stolen sarcophagus home where Doctor Doom climbed out and just started wreaking havoc in the Batcave. The place is filled with robot dinosaurs and helicopters, so he was kind of kicking ass. Of course back in the '40s, Batman's idea of fighting was to shout descriptions of things while they smashed into him.
Unable to defeat Doctor Doom, an elderly man with no combat training, Batman and Robin were especially at his mercy when he pulled out Trophy #44: an old hand grenade. Since this story was compiled from the mutterings of schizophrenic hobos, Batman survived by hiding behind a tiny building built for him by dwarves. Please allow me to prove that I'm not just typing random words:
There's no way Batman could have known that would work. The fearless crusader only thought it would be awesome to spend his final moments fucking a church.
The durable craftsmanship of Batman's trophies didn't work out so well for Doctor Doom. The blast slammed the mummy case shut on him and Batman and Robin couldn't figure out how to get it open until long after he was dead. "Hold on in there, old guy who threw a hand grenade at us! Ha ha ha we're trying really hard to get you out! Oh, Batman, what a shame it would be if the sound of our kissing is the last thing this stupid asshole ever hears! Mmmmf! Shlrrp!!"
While investigating a stolen ruby idol, Batman learned of a sinister fence named Sin Fang. He started asking around about Sin Fang and a bright yellow man in a Fu Manchu mustache and emperor cap told Batman that Sin Fang was also a bright yellow man in a Fu Manchu mustache and emperor cap. He also hid out as the operator of a store called "Sin Fang's." It was enough for The World's Greatest Detective to go on.
Due to the nature of racist caricatures, Batman couldn't be sure if he had the right guy. But he started to think something was fishy when he showed up at Sin Fang's and two men tried to murder him with swords.
While Sin Fang's guards bled onto his floor shirtless and dead, he and Batman cleared up the hilarious misunderstanding. This is a fascinating window into what society was like 72 years ago. In 1940, people had integrity and took responsibility for their actions. For instance, if some guy kicked your Mongol swordsmen to death, you'd own up to it and apologize to the man.
When Sin Fang rushed out of the room and it fills with mustard gas, Batman was almost positive that he'd found his bad guy. But Batman was also kind of positive that Chinese breathe poison for fun. We as a people simply didn't know much about China at the time. Locking a guest in a mustard gas chamber might be a traditional part of some kind of egg roll ceremony, and Batman wasn't about to look like a dick by complaining.
Holy crap! Out of nowhere, the friendly Sin Fang attempts to kill the Batman! But that's not the biggest plot twist of this adventure. Get the fuck ready. No, really:
This whole time, it was a secret Chinaman! Using simple yellow gloves, Sheldon Le- wait, what? Yellow gloves? That's ... like racist on some kind of insurmountable scale. "Yellow" is a mean thing to say, not a real color that actual people are. And why did he do it? It didn't help in any way with this or any crime! Was this written by someone on their first day of racism? All joking aside, I have to admit that I've always wondered why wearing rubber kitchen gloves added such an Eastern flair to masturbation.
Batman is OK with being attacked with swords, trapped in a gas chamber or dropped to a watery grave, but to hell with you if you try to trick him into thinking you're Chinese. He retaliated by throwing the stolen idol at Sheldon "Secret Chinaman" Lenox, killing him. "Great job, Batman! Actually, the opposite of that! You're completely under arrest!" shouted the cop who saw the whole thing.
An evil psychologist known only as "The Carbon Copy Killer" became obsessed with Batman and recreated his very first case -- a series of brutal slayings that ended like all 1940s Batman stories: with the killer's own death. These copycat killings were part of an experiment to ... you know, I better let him explain it:
That's right, he killed three people to prove that it would have hurt Batman's feelings and made him less popular if he hadn't figured out who did them. Then he left Batman and Robin in his inescapable library after telling them he'd "return soon to make certain nerve tests to prove [his] theory." What the shit? The strangest thing about the writing of Batman's Golden Age adventures is that DC Comics managed to hire the only retarded person who wasn't any fun.
Now, quick! Think of the stupidest way an idiot would escape from a room full of books!
You were right! Batman's brain sprung into action and hatched a plot to stack up the books and shove them over the next time The Carbon Copy Killer came through the door. However, this unathletic, middle-aged academic was one step ahead of the Dark Knight and overheard the whole brilliant plan. I guess when it really comes down to it, owning a gun and a postgraduate degree is 50 times more effective than being Batman.
Batman's plan was to take off his mask and reveal that he was Bruce Wayne. How would that help? Well, knowing his radio show was about to come on, The Bat told Carbon Copy Killer to turn on the radio. That way, when he heard Batman's voice, it would blow his entire mind. It's similar to how every time a Bon Jovi song comes on, all of Bon Jovi's friends shriek, "B-but! Y-you're here! How can!? SORCERER!!!"
The only thing stupider than this plan was that it totally worked. The highly educated Ph.D. with audio equipment wired throughout his library and an obsession with copying things had never heard of recording and playing back sounds. He heard someone on a radio claim to be Batman while Batman was in front of him claiming not to be Batman? AIIIIIEEEEE!!!! How could anyone live in a universe that would allow something that impossible to happen!?
"Police? Hi, it's Batman again. Yes, I'm calling about another dead body, but this time the guy shot himself. Of course I'm sure! You know, I really don't appreciate your tone. Here's what happened, I was like, 'I'm not Batman. I'm Bruce Wayne,' except check this out: Batman was on the radio! Oh shit, Robin just shot himself. I'll call you back."

NEWELL, W.Va. -Jackson Wilson doesn't look like the kind of guy who would hold a protest sign or chant slogans against a school board.
But that's what he and a group of Hancock County residents plan to do from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday in front of Newell Memorial Field.
Wilson, 19, of Lawrenceville, is a mild-mannered young man with short hair and glasses. A local history buff, he started the "Memories of Hancock County and Brooke County, W.Va." Facebook group last year and is studying history, with a concentration in public history, at Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, W.Va.
As a student at Oak Glen High School, Wilson said he was like a lot of other students who showed only a nominal interest in what the school board was doing.
But the Hancock County school board's proposed sale of Newell Memorial Field has changed all that.
He uses words like "corrupt" to describe the board and thinks the board has not listened to the community regarding the sale of the football stadium property.
"It seems like they're working for their own agendas instead of for us," Wilson said. "They've basically brushed the (Chester Volunteer) Fire Department under the rug. They won't talk to the community."
The fire department has made several attempts at buying the 4.25-acre property on state Route 2 in Newell, including submitting a bid of $50,000 at the Oct. 25 auction. That bid was rejected by the board as too low because the minimum bid had been set at $250,000.
Previously, Chester fire Chief John Hissam offered to pay $150,000, $250,000 and $300,000 for the property, but the school board has insisted on a public auction as the best way to comply with state law and stay accountable to taxpayers.
Residents opposed to the auction option believe it could open the door to a private developer buying the land and developing it for purposes at odds with the public good. Hissam has said the fire department wants to maintain the property for the annual Fall Bash fundraiser and for use by youth athletic leagues and other community organizations.
A second auction had been scheduled for Nov. 30, but on Monday the school board canceled the auction indefinitely. Board members met with Hancock County commissioners Mike Swartzmiller and Dan Greathouse, and Patrick Ford, executive director of the Business Development Corporation of the Northern Panhandle.
At 9 a.m. Monday, Hancock County commissioners are meeting to discuss unspecified economic development opportunities.
Wilson, a 2011 Oak Glen graduate who played saxophone in the marching band, said he decided to organize a protest when he realized other people agreed with him over the school board's handling of the sale. He said he's expecting "a couple dozen" protesters on Saturday.
Wilson said the stadium should be maintained not only as a community resource but also as a historic landmark.
"Besides the memories, it really is an important part of the county. When you think of Newell, other than Homer Laughlin, you think of Memorial Field," Wilson said. "It served Wells High School and Junior High School, so it's very historically significant."
Memorial Field was built as a war memorial in the 1940s. Its two brick pillars bear the dates 1917-1918-for World War I-and 1941-1945-for World War II. A memorial plaque contains the names of two Newell natives who died in World War I and 25 who died in World War II.
The stadium hosted its first home football game in 1950 and its last on Oct. 14, 2011, according to the Web site www.laurelhollowpark.net.

MARTINSBURG - Thomas Guy Reynolds Jr. eased back on the stick of his Evektor SportStar light sport aircraft and it lifted effortlessly off the runway at the Eastern Regional Airport.
He circled the field three times, making a couple of low passes over the runway for pictures, and softly set his plane down.
That would not be extraordinary, but Reynolds flew Friday on his 100th birthday.

Journal photo by John McVey
Guy Reynolds sits in the cockpit of his Evektor SportStar light sport aircraft Friday before taking the controls for a flight around the Eastern Regional Airport to celebrate his 100th birthday. He is the oldest known licensed pilot in W.Va.
He is the oldest known licensed pilot in West Virginia and definitely the senior pilot in this region.
"The flight was fine," Reynolds said afterward. "The air was nice and smooth."
He takes a co-pilot with him in his two-seater plane, usually Bart Rogers, but flying on his birthday has become a tradition as well as celebrating the day with fellow pilots at the airport, who fly in to enjoy lunch, cake and stories.
"I hope to fly on my 101st birthday," he said.
Rogers was grateful for the weather Friday, which was perfect for flying - little wind and clear skies.
"It is a thrill to fly with someone who's 100 years old," Rogers said. "He's as sharp as a tack."
And Rogers does not touch the controls. Reynolds is the pilot.
Needless to say, Reynolds' centennial birthday was very special, drawing a quite a crowd of family, friends and admirers.
"I am in awe of him, totally in awe," said Ann Reynolds Carden, who traveled from New York to see her father fly. "He doesn't have any fear, so I'm not afraid when he flies, but I don't like to fly."
Understandably, she is extremely proud of her father.
"He is a wonderful father; he's a good man; he's an amazing, incredible human being," Carden said.
Reynolds was born in Martinsburg Nov. 30, 1912, the son of the late Thomas Guy Reynolds Sr. and Lora Lenora Stotler Reynolds.
He graduated from Shepherd College in 1933 with a degree in education.
Reynolds taught school in Berkeley County for 18 years; ran his own television and radio repair business; served as an electro-mechanical designer for Thieblot Aircraft Co., which was located at the airport; and worked as an engineer at Corning Glass Works in Berkeley County, where he was appointed to the position of senior associate. He was the first person at the local plant to receive that honor.
Reynolds took his first flight from Shepherd Field, now the Eastern Regional Airport, in 1929 in a Ford Trimotor airplane.
In 1943, he organized the Martinsburg Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol, serving as its first commander. The unit's insignia bears his initials.
After World War II, Reynolds searved as chairman of the West Virginia Aeronautics Commission for two terms.
He was recognized in 2004 as the Berkeley County Citizen of the Year for his lifetime of volunteer service to the community.
In 2006, Reynolds was named an Outstanding Alumni of Shepherd University.
He was inducted into the West Virginia Voter Hall of Fame in 2008 for having voted in every general election since at least 1942, when records were first kept.
And on his 93rd birthday, he made a parachute jump - a lifelong ambition - with the Chambersburg, Pa., Parachute Club. He was, and as far he knows, remains the oldest person to parachute in Pennsylvania.
"I'm just blessed, that's all I can say," Reynolds said about his aptitude for flying during media interviews. "I'm lucky I can fly. I feel comfortable in the air, relaxed and I enjoy it."
Asked for his advice to young people, he said, "If you want to do something, do it. You don't know when you might not be able to do it."

Owen Wells
Owen Wells '75
BS Business
Owen Wells finished his BS in business administration and economics at Westminster in 1975. He now works tirelessly to save lives around the world by being an advocate for the international bone marrow registry. The journey started for Owen when his adopted daughter, Kailee, developed aplastic anemia and required bone marrow transplants. Owen and his wife knew very little about Kailee's biological family, the people who would be closet bone marrow match and give them the best chance at saving their daughter. When most would give up, Owen made it a life mission to spread the word about the critical need for bone marrow donors. He became an expert on the topic and traveled the country to cities with large Asian populations to educate and register volunteers. His motto became: "I may not save my daughter, but I'm not going to let this happen to other people."
Owen's commitment to social responsibility and global consciousness are hallmarks of a Westminster education. This work engages the written and oral communication skills Owen learned at Westminster as he communicates with people from various backgrounds and education levels to inform them of the importance of this issue. After all of his effort, Owen was able to find a donor for his daughter. Owen now leads an international campaign for bone marrow registration through his contacts with Westminster College, the United States Marine Corps, and national media to continue to encourage people to register.

President Barack Obama spent most of his emotional fire in his inauguration speech on matters such as gay rights, same-sex marriage and climate change.
While these are important issues, in many cases decisions regarding them are more apt to be settled in the courts than through legislation.
Meanwhile, the nation's economy is shaky, its debt is large enough to threaten future generations and unemployment totals more than 20 million people.
The president spent almost no time on those matters.
Does this tell us the president's priorities for a second term? If so, it will be a difficult four years for our country.
We can't imagine the nation's economy, jobs situation and debt and something to lift the country regarding those matters didn't belong in Obama's inauguration speech.
Let's put it this way, had President George Bush, who is still the administration's whipping boy for anything wrong with the country, omitted these matters from his speech in these circumstances, he would have been called out by the mainstream media.
He would have been portrayed as a privileged, uncaring leader.
But the mainstream media covering Tuesday's inauguration gave gushing comparisons of Obama to Lincoln and panted on the parade route for a mere wave from the president rather than bothering to ask any questions of him.
We're not asking the television networks and liberal sector of the print media to turn into bloodhounds regarding the covering of President Obama and his administration.
We're just asking them to ask the same pointed questions they would ask either President Bush, or Obama's challenger in the election, Mitt Romney.
Because that's their job. That's all we're asking, whether the issue is inauguration speech priorities, killings at the Libyan embassy, the fiscal cliff or the debt ceiling.
The media failed bigtime regarding the inauguration, preferring the gush angle to an actual examination of the priorities outlined in Obama's speech.

Orchard Park police foot patrols made about two dozen arrests before Sunday's Buffalo Bills-Tennessee Titans game, in what police called their continuing efforts to promote public safety and reduce public annoyance.
The charges included everything from disorderly conduct and underage alcohol possession to trademark counterfeiting.
Police stated that they charged three people with disorderly conduct, two with consuming alcohol in a vehicle, three with marijuana possession, five with underage alcohol possession and one person with aggravated unlicensed operation.
Another nine people were charged with trademark counterfeiting, for selling unlicensed National Football League apparel, according to police reports.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — Users of Tahoe Donner's cross-country ski center may get a new facility in time for next winter.
"We're trying to increase the quality of experience and service level for our homeowners, their guests and the public," said Forrest Huisman, director of capital projects at Tahoe Donner.
On a busy day, the current 8,271-square-foot facility sees roughly 400 to 600 users, he said. The new building would be 23 percent larger at 10,220 square feet, with an expanded parking lot that could accommodate 150 vehicles, up from 110.
"It's great," said Brooke Landis, a Truckee resident and frequent user of the current center. "I think they really need it because when there's snow here, it's used; there's a ton of people."
The new building would be at roughly the same location at 15275 Alder Creek Road and have similar offerings — a food and beverage station, kitchen, dining area, retail shop, rental area, restrooms and offices. In addition, the center would feature a public locker room, public waxing room and a multi-use room.
During the summer, the center offers Bikeworks (Tahoe Donner's bike shop) and equestrian operations. The new building would offer the same operations, with one exception — no indoor horse boarding.
One reason for that is due to lack of demand — for the 2013 summer, only six horses were boarded inside, Huisman said.
The project is estimated to cost nearly $6 million, which is already secured, he said. Funding will come from a special development fund that all Tahoe Donner homeowners and undeveloped parcel owners pay into annually.
Should the center be approved by the Truckee Planning Commission (which will hear the project on March 4), construction would start before the end of June. There would be a partial opening in late 2014, with final completion in early 2015. It would remain a public facility.
"I'm looking forward to having a more efficient, tighter structure, as well as more space, so we can do more," said Sally Jones, cross-country center manager.
The cross-country center was built in the early 1970s, originally as an equestrian barn. As Nordic skiing grew in popularity, it was modified and expanded several times to accommodate the sport.

Destini Anderson never had seen so many white students until she started sixth grade at Charleston County School of the Arts.
By the numbers
The following student figures were pulled from the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years.
School Total enrollment Percent white Percent low-income
Academic Magnet 618 85 11
Buist Academy 457 79 14
School of the Arts 1,093 77 23

She was the only student from downtown James Simons Elementary to apply and be accepted to the county's flagship arts magnet school.
Rate of acceptance
The following is a breakdown of the 2012-13 total number of fifth-graders who applied and were accepted to School of the Arts for its 160-student sixth-grade class from the eight high-poverty elementary schools where arts school students are volunteering.
Students also are volunteering at Zucker Middle to help eighth-graders, but school-by-school acceptance figures for freshmen weren't provided.

"I didn't know anything about School of the Arts," said Anderson, now a senior majoring in theater. "I'd never heard of it."
Application deadline
The deadline to apply to any Charleston County magnet school is Nov. 1, and all schools' applications are available online. For more information, go to: www.ccsdschools.com/choice
She found out about the grades 6-12 arts school from her fifth-grade English teacher, who noticed Anderson's outgoing personality and encouraged her to apply.
Anderson's unfamiliarity with School of the Arts isn't unusual in some pockets of the district, particularly among high-poverty elementary schools enrolling mostly minority students.
That lack of information among under-served students has implications for the arts school's racial and socioeconomic diversity. Its demographics don't reflect the district's overall student makeup, and that's a concern for district and school leaders.
Diversity is one of the Charleston County School District's four core values, and district leaders say schools are stronger when they reflect the real world. But three of the arguably best magnet schools in the county — Academic Magnet High, Buist Academy and School of the Arts — are much more white and wealthier than the district average.
School of the Arts launched this fall a new, innovative effort to address the problem, and about 70 of its high school students have volunteered to work with more than 500 mostly fifth-graders in eight low-income elementary schools. They also are helping eighth-graders at one middle school.
The arts school students will visit those nine schools at least four times this year to teach their art and help younger students with the school's application and audition process.
"This is a good start," Anderson said.
Fiercely competitive
During the last 10 to 15 years, the School of the Arts has seen a decline in its diversity and a more dramatic departure from the county school district's demographics.
This school year, 77 percent of the arts school's students are white, and 13 percent are black. That's a far cry from the rest of the school district — 45 percent of the county's public school students are white and 43 percent are black.
Its socioeconomic diversity is lacking too. Twenty-three percent of the arts school students were considered high-poverty during the 2012-13 school year, which is far less than the district average of 64 percent.
Principal Shannon Cook doesn't think the school's diversity statistics need to exactly mirror those of the entire county, but she would like to see more alignment between the numbers.
"Talent does not run along income and racial lines," she said. "It crosses all of those, so we want to make sure that we are providing that access."
The school's admissions process is fiercely competitive, and that has raised the level of expectations for the art skill, potential and passion students must demonstrate during auditions. Judges evaluated more than 900 auditions last year for 160 slots in the school's sixth-grade class.
That means students must come better prepared than ever before for the audition process, Cook said. And that can be more difficult for students who never have had access to an arts lesson outside of school.
To ensure the application process is as fair as possible, the school made some changes last year. Some of those included eliminating the requirement to write a short essay, and requiring students to show only that they were passing rather than an honor roll student.
The school also plans to add a costume design major for its high school, and that will add seats and be open to students who may or may not have had private instruction. More information soon will be available for interested students.
Those were beginning steps, and the outreach program is the latest effort to be more inclusive.
A shared problem
The lack of student diversity at School of the Arts is magnified at the district's two other special-admission magnet schools: Buist Academy and Academic Magnet High. Both have more white and more affluent students than School of the Arts.
"I am very aware of it, and I am also very concerned about it," said Charleston County School Superintendent Nancy McGinley of all three magnet schools. "It is my belief that all of our students should have access to schools, and it's our responsibility to make parents more aware of the process to get in."
That's part of the impetus behind the district's annual choice fair, which features all the school options from which parents can choose, as well as its decision to have a unified application deadline for its magnet schools.
McGinley doesn't think quotas are the answer, but she does think that school and district leaders need to actively work to increase diversity.
Academic Magnet and School of the Arts have leadership teams working to address this issue, and officials are drafting a policy proposal that would change the admissions process at Academic Magnet, she said.
At School of the Arts, McGinley pointed to its competitive audition process, and she said elementary students' art teachers' support is an important factor. She plans to have elementary art teachers work more with School of the Arts so they understand the admissions process and better prepare students for it.
And once students enroll, she said the school must have an open, supportive climate that celebrates diversity.
"We do believe diversity is a strength and an asset, and we want to see all ethnicities represented in our schools," she said. "We know that's the world kids are going to live in."
She applauded the work being done by School of the Arts to inform younger students of their options.
"This program with seniors is really powerful and one of the most visible things that has happened," she said. "I'm excited about it because children listen to other children more than they would ever listen to me or a guidance counselor."
Outreach project
The idea for connecting School of the Arts students with low-income elementary schools grew out of Cook's desire to communicate the school's offerings, as well as a student-volunteer-run spring break arts camp.
Cook wanted to do more than just send out applications to prospective students; she wanted School of the Arts students to be the school's ambassadors.
At the same time, teacher Michelle Gorritti was looking at ways to make the school's spring break arts camp more sustainable. School of the Arts students have volunteered to teach their arts to nearby elementary school students during their spring break for the past few years.
Cook decided that Gorritti would head the new outreach project, and she dedicated time in Gorritti's schedule to coordinate it.
They invited the district's high-poverty schools, which often have low numbers of applicants and acceptance rates, to participate, one middle school and eight elementary school principals said they wanted to be a part of this project.
Principal Reggie Bright at A.C. Corcoran Elementary was among those who said "yes," and all of his 83 fifth-graders are involved in the program this year. Many of his students aren't able to participate in arts activities outside school, he said.
"It's giving that awareness to kids," he said.
He invited School of the Arts students to the school during students' special area period, which is either physical education, music, art, library or computer. His students take each of those classes once per week.
Making it happen
On Monday, Anderson crouched down low so she was eye-level with a Corcoran Elementary fifth-grader.
"How's your day going?" she asked. The fifth-grader responded by smiling.
"You already broke!" Anderson told her.
This theater game is the same one Anderson played when she started sixth grade, and the goal is to learn about not breaking character by smiling or laughing.
It represents a tiny piece of what she has learned during the past five years, but she knows it's the kind of lesson students need if they're going to audition.
"They need to be able to focus," she said.
Anderson was one of eight School of the Arts students who fanned out across the North Charleston building, and they taught lessons in visual arts, piano/band, dance and theater.
In the dance group, senior Callie Mathias explained the arts school's application and what judges would be looking for in auditions. She demonstrated how their feet and arms should look while in three of ballet's five basic positions, and she showed them proper techniques for jumping.
"Keep your legs straight and point your toes," she told one student.
Mathias' experience prior to being accepted to School of the Arts was far different than Anderson's. Anderson didn't have any theater training, and she didn't know anyone else who was applying; Mathias attended Sullivan's Island Elementary, and she said "everybody" in school knew about School of the Arts. She had been taking dance lessons outside of school since she was in first grade.
Mathias said most of her dance group at Corcoran Elementary never had heard of School of the Arts and lacked formal training. She said that could make the audition process more difficult because judges expect a certain level of experience, and some students didn't know what a ballet shoe was.
She said she'd like to work with students in lower grades, maybe third or fourth, so that they could have more training.
"You can't become a dancer overnight," she said.
Going forward
Students seem to have varying levels of interest in the lessons being offered by School of the Arts students.
Fifth-grader Jaedyn Jones was in the theater group. She said she didn't know much about School of the Arts before this, but she's still not interested in applying.
Joshua Vinson was in the dance group, and he said he wanted to apply to School of the Arts.
"You get to do all kinds of things," he said. "You get to sing and dance, and I can learn dance moves."
Anderson can't imagine the person she would be if it hadn't been for School of the Arts. She initially worried she wouldn't get along with some of her classmates, but that went away and her love for the school grew.
The School of the Arts community made her feel more willing to try new things, and she felt comfortable being a minority in a majority-white school, she said.
"I think it made me more open to new people," she said.
Cook said she hopes to see more students apply and be accepted from across the district, particularly from the nine schools they have targeted. She also wants her students to help elementary kids understand that "art is not limited to the walls of School of the Arts," so if they're not accepted, they still can find other avenues in their community to do art.
The nine schools will be surveyed at the end of this year, and Cook plans to review the feedback and decide how to proceed next year.
"We're not going to fix this in one year, but we can do something," she said.

FDA approved Arena Pharmaceuticals and partner Eisai's anti-obesity drug Belviq (lorcaserin hydrochloride) for chronic weight management in adults. Approval covers use of the drug as an adjunctive therapy combined with reduced-calorie diet and increased exercise in obese (BMI of 30 kg/m2 or greater) patients, or those who are overweight (BMI 27 kg/m2) and have a weight-related comorbid condition.
The drug will be manufactured by Arena, and marketed and distributed in the U.S. by Eisai. FDA has recommended Belviq to be classified as a scheduled drug, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is reviewing the recommendation prior to providing scheduling designation. A marketing authorization application for lorcaserin was accepted for filing by the EMA in March.
Eisai has exclusive rights to market and distribute Arena's lead compound lorcaserin in the U.S., while Arena retains rights to lorcaserin in all other global markets. As part of the U.S. regulatory approval, Arena and Eisai will be required to carry out post-marketing studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of Belviq in obese pediatric patients, and to study the effects of long-term treatment using Belviq on cardiovascular events in overweight and obese subjects with cardiovascular disease or risk factors.
The Phase III trial program for Belviq comprised three placebo-controlled studies (Bloom, Blossom, and Bloom-DM) involving nearly 8,000 overweight or obese patients either with or without comorbid conditions including diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidemia. The overall data showed that when compared with placebo, therapy using Belviq in combination with diet and exercise was more effective at helping patients lose 5% or more of their body weight after one year and managing weight loss for up to two years.
Arena is exploiting its GPCR-focused drug discovery and development technologies, including its constitutively activated receptor technology (CART), and Melanophore technology, to discover, develop and commercialize GPCR-targeting oral drugs against cardiovascular, central nervous system, inflammatory, and metabolic diseases.
Arena's early-stage clinical pipeline includes an oral prostacyclin receptor agonist APD811, which is undergoing Phase I trials for the potential treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. The firm has two preclinical candidates in active development. APD334 is an S1P1 receptor agonist in development as a potential oral therapy for autoimmune-related diseases including multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. A non-psychotropic CB2-selective receptor agonist APD371 is in development as an analgesic.
Arena's temanogrel is an inverse agonist of the serotonin 2A receptor, which has completed Phase Ia and Phase IIa studies as a potential treatment for arterial thrombosis and other related conditions, but is currently on hold due to the costs of later-stage trials. The firm says it isn't currently planning further development of temanogrel, although it may consider restarting the program in the future either independently or through a partnership.
Meanwhile, research is ongoing to progress a series of orally available GPR119 agonists for the potential treatment of type 2 diabetes. The GPR119 program includes APD597 and next-generation compounds discovered after the research stage of Arena's former collaboration with Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals. As part of the collaboration, which was terminated in 2010, Ortho-McNeil had progressed two Arena-discovered compounds APD668 and APD597 into clinical trials.
