Faces of Food Safety: Douglas Fulnechek, Supervisory Veterinary Medical Officer
"Wanting to become a veterinarian began when I was 14 and visited a racetrack with a family friend and his race horse," recalled Dr. Doug Fulnechek. He liked being around horses and having no life plan yet, this gave him something to consider.
Throughout high school, Fulnechek was a member of an academic team that competed each year in making farm-related business, bank, tax and other economic decisions. His winning team competed in the state contest held at Oklahoma State University. During the competition, the University's veterinary college had an open house where he saw a dairy cow with a rumen fistula (a surgically created opening on the side of a cow [a look inside the first of four stomachs] where researchers collect digestive samples to identify the nutritional needs of a cow). That cinched it for Fulnechek. His decision to become a veterinarian was now a reality about to happen.
What gets him up in the morning?
"Because I love my job so much as an Inspector-in-Charge/Supervisory Veterinary Medical Officer at the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), I really don't need an alarm clock to get me up in the morning," says Dr. Fulnechek. "And I've felt this way for 24 years now."
For the last 15 years, he has worked as the senior FSIS official at a chicken slaughter and processing establishment in Springdale, Ark. As a Public Health Veterinarian, he leads a 30-member team of supervisory consumer safety inspectors, consumer safety inspectors and food inspectors who verify that the products from the 250,000 chickens that the establishment slaughters and processes each day are safe, wholesome and correctly labeled and packaged. The work that Dr. Fulnechek and his team does is at the core of FSIS's mission as a public health agency. He is committed to it; has a passion for it; and is very aware that because of the team he leads, American consumers enjoy the safe food they expect.
|"As a FSIS employee, I take great pride in working with my co-workers to prevent foodborne illness and protecting the public health of consumers, we are one team, with one purpose."
Dr. Douglas Fulnechek
"My inspection team, and others like it across the country, protects Americans from foodborne illness. Together , we examine every chicken slaughtered at our assignment," said Dr. Fulnechek. "During our workday, we watch plant employees perform their production duties or take samples to ensure each chicken carcass, drumstick, thigh and wing is clean and handled properly. We also make sure that products in the processing departments are kept cold and are truthfully labeled. Most importantly, we make sure that consumers get a safe wholesome product every day."
"As a FSIS employee, I take great pride in working with my co-workers to prevent foodborne illness and protecting the public health of consumers, we are one team, with one purpose," said Dr. Fulnechek.
Starting a career
After earning a Bachelor of Science degree and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Oklahoma State University, Dr. Fulnechek worked as an associate in a mixed animal practice. He then bought his own veterinary clinic in 1982 and practiced for several years. Later, he worked for the Kerr Foundation's brucellosis education project.
Dr. Fulnechek took his experience in the world of animal health and applied it to the world of public health, when he started his career with FSIS in Springdale, Ark. His first position with the agency was as a Supervisory Veterinary Medical Officer with assignments in about 40 establishments. "Becoming a veterinarian, marrying my wife, Effie, and going to work for FSIS are among the best decisions I've made."
He has authored a number of publications and was a member of the Blue Ribbon Task Force that authored, "The Future of FSIS Veterinarians: Public Health Professionals for the 21st Century." Because of the task force, the working title of veterinarians in FSIS was changed to Public Health Veterinarian to reflect their role in protecting the public from foodborne illness.
From 2007-2009, Fulnechek served as President of the National Association of Federal Veterinarians, an association of supervisors and managers representing all veterinarians in the federal government. He will begin a second term as President in 2013.
Veterinarians matter
FSIS is the largest employer of veterinarians in the United States—there are 1,100 dedicated Public Health Veterinarians who are trained in public health and regulatory medicine. These veterinarians verify the health of the animals destined for the food supply.
"For the last 20 years, what really gives me great satisfaction is being a trainer and mentor for newly hired veterinarians." He sees the impact of his own training efforts and feels the same satisfaction in knowing his interns are now successful FSIS employees. "Being able to say 'That is one of my interns,' is a good feeling," said Fulnechek, whose count is now 101 interns. Additionally, he feels a sense of pride that he has helped people in their careers do a good job in looking out for the public. "I have an especially good day at my job when a member of my inspection team excels in his or her job."
"My hope is that there will be a large group of well-prepared public health veterinarians who have learned leadership and food safety principles from my inspection team and me."

Bullying incident prompts girls to speak out against violence
January 6, 2013
Sharon Santamaria, a mother of three from Martinsburg, wasn't particularly concerned when she noticed there were a couple missed calls from her 16-year-old daughter, Cheyenne, on Oct. 7....
It is strange to me that when any sort of incident occurs at a business, the owner can be held responsible. Even injuries received after business hours. Upside down? You decide!!!

No one will take action because this does not fit the medias agenda. If the races of the individiuals had been reversed, media and everyone out there would have been jumping up and down screaming for justice and an investigation.

I worry about future victims that should step into the path of these scum bags. Would be cool if some adults could be hiding close by when this crew attacks again and address these problem punks. Seems like the system can't/won't take care of it. Thank goodness these gals were able to walk away and tell about it.

This is not bullying. It is a vicious assault and battery centered around a hate crime, if racial slurs were thrown. The park benches behind the girls are usually filled with groups of teenagers when school is not in session. They are there all the time. Go to play basketball, play on the swings, but not to "hang out."

Seems all the laws and policies arent stopping these thugs from being little terrorists. Everyone turns a blind eye. No one protects or fights for the victims.Gone are the days when principles would use a wooden paddle and spank a student for improper behavior. Then he/she would get another one at home for being an embarassment to the family. Not anymore.The parents are just as bad. Lay the blame on someone else, its their fault. Everyone gets a trophy for showing up. Maybe Cheyenne and KiKi should make posters and walking sanwhich boards with the criminals pictures on it and march through Martinsburg with "Stop Bullying" messages. They can exercise their 1st Ammendnent rights. Sorry girls this happened to you. You are bigger and better on your worse day than these coward scum are on their best day. Their life will consist of bars, guards, a cell mate and prison food.

It's disgusting this happened to the girls in the first place. But these girls are being victimized everday by the tweets and other posting's. If anything I think the school has a responsibility to take action for these girls. The police along with the school should meet and have some justice for these girls. This is one of the reasons why we are thought of as hillbillies or dumb hicks. All of the kids who were there I guarantee come from parents who act in the same ways. I taught my kids to stand up for other kids who are being picked on. My son was once bullied until one day he had enough and he showed the bully that was the last time he would be picked on. And he hasn't been since. My kids have big hearts for others who may be easy targets. A bully will only be a bully as long as the power is given to them.

The school probably won't take any action since this didn't happen during school hours. This happened on a Sunday and yes, the girls were playing basketball on school grounds, but it was not part of a school supervised activity. The police need to be involved with it.

This is not what we normally think of as bullying. It is pure out violence. This is criminal and I would expect to see charges and penalties. Bullying is usually associated with kids v.s. kids at their own schools and usually older bullying younger. It usually is "words", maybe a push or books being dropped to the floor. But THIS is violence. And the boy that offered the money???? This kid needs to be removed from the streets - NOW and for a long time to come. BUT - we live in Martinsburg. Can we really expect anything??

Bullying and fighting are nothing new, that's for sure. What is new is this zero tolerance crud which treats the victim the same or similar to the wrongdoer. And just how is that zero tolerance policy working out? Has it ended bullying anmd fighting? Sure it has.

Several years ago, my son was bullied by one individual in high school. I told him to report it. He reported it twice. No action against the bullying student took place. So I told my son if it happened again, to protect himself and proceed to knock him out despite the zero tolerance rule.hi He did the following day. The bully approached him in gym class and pushed him down to the floor. My son got up, punched him and he fell to the floor with a bloody nose. The Phys Ed teacher only saw my son throw the punch. So he was suspended along with the bully even though there were multiple witnesses and he had previously reported it twice. The zero tolerance rule leaves our kids vulnerable in school against these type bullies. It's ridiculous. The Police, Supt, Principals and teachers turn a blind eye to this whole problem. And forget the bully's parents, they are usually low life's who care anyway.

Good question by all - why weren't the police called? Unfortunately, the juvenile criminal justice system in our state is broken. The reality is very little would be done to the perpetrators of these crimes even if they were caught and prosecuted. It's a shame kids can't go outside and get some excersise without being harassed or beaten up. We encourage them to be active and not sit in front of their video games for hours on end and this is what happens. No wonder so many youngsters become addicted to the indoor life.

Those committing the assault should have been in jail immediately. Forensics of the cell phone video would have sealed their fate. Once again, out local policeick and choose what they pursue. Now if you have political clout or are wealthy, you will get action. Lets see if this story gets any action from our new Deputy Police Chief or the Chief himself. This is the kind of story The Journal should be publishing every day. Investigative stories where no action or unfair results have taken place in the county.

This is only secondarily a school issue. As Dave and others indicated, it's primarily a police issue. There's a report. There is supposed to be an investigation and, if the claims substantiated, charges brought. The schools are worthless in these matters. IF you defend yourself on school property or a bus and all witnesses and a video tape say that you were the victim, YOU will be suspended thanks to the zero tolerance policy. That's absolutely stupid and ridiculous.

Where are the police? Also this sounds like the school is brushing this episode under rug,because it wasn't on school's time? If the property was open after school let out..then the school is responsible too,right along with bullies!! Sorry Cheyenne and Kiki that this event has happened to you girls,but there are good people in this world, but every now and then,we have the NASTY'S out there too.

I will tell you what is alarming. Hate crime is on the rise. "I don't think they could think of anything else to say, so one boy was like 'I'll give $10 to whoever beats up the white girl first.' Then they started hitting me," Cheyenne recalled.
This is not a bullying act this is a vicious attack on a human being. Assault and Battery, along with inticing to commit a crime, egging it on, their are plenty of charges to go around and I hope they end up in jail. Especially the boy that inticed the otheres to beat up the white girl. Enough is enough.
They need to build a bigger jail out in no wheres land and let these so called beings sit in jail for a year with no contact with any family or friends.

Seems to be the normal for the schools to turn a blind eye to what happens, some kids are just mean and rude and I totally agree...it starts at home, I guarantee if you went into the homes of the bullies, the parents are just as bad, low life scum!

Where are the parents of these kids that are doing the bullying. This is where it starts at home. If the parents of these kids do not do anything about this or even speak to their kids about it, nothing will or can be done. And yes the law needs to step in on this and get something done on this.Why do school officials and law inforcement what till something really bad happens, then they say that something needs to be done.

Stop with the bullying title. At best this is Assault and Battery. It probably should be investigated as a Federal Hate Crime. The parents should have filed a complaint with the police.

How Kate Is Preparing for Baby
She's been scouting out decorating supplies, a royal source tells PEOPLE. And after a difficult first trimester, "She's finally getting a chance to enjoy her pregnancy," says a Palace insider. "It's a fabulous time."
It also couldn't be a busier one. With plans to work up until the last possible moment, Kate went from greeting the Irish Guards (and politely changing the subject when one asked what she planned to name her baby) to joking around with the Queen to a campfire cookout with the Cub Scouts in the last two weeks alone. The "quite sugary" pastry she indulged in on that day was just the latest sweet snack the princess has enjoyed.
And she's not the only one with cravings. Handed a chocolate Easter bunny by a family of well-wishers at a charity appearance March 19, Kate promised to "pass that to William ... and make sure he doesn't eat it all himself!"
For more details on Kate's parenting prep, including the hospital where she plans to deliver and the supportive circle of girlfriends she's leaning on for advice, pick up the latest issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

on September 9, 2012 - 8:47 AM
, updated September 9, 2012 at 8:51 AM
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The contest for Erie County Democratic chairman moved south to this convention city last week, and even the glitzy surroundings of a presidential election could not rescue the locals from the down and dirtiness of local politics.
Make no mistake about it. Lots of whispered conversations among New York Democrats concerned succession to Len Lenihan in Ellicott Square's second-floor corner office. And those discussions involved not only the locals, but the state's top Democrats, too.
As a Thursday Buffalo News story pointed out, much is at stake here. Gov. Andrew Cuomo's top political strategists seem stymied as to how to deal with those rambunctious Dems out west, especially after their hopes that former Mayor Tony Masiello would restore order on their behalf are now dashed.
After a long and successful run in politics, Masiello now wants to be a lobbyist - period.
The view from here is that he took his chairmanship candidacy as far as he did to please a powerful governor. When that got too complicated, Masielllo made his choice.
But now, after initiating the process that ousted Lenihan, the Cuomo forces acknowledge they are stymied. They successfully deposed Lenihan, but after Masiello returned to Lobby Land, they don't know quite where to turn. They no longer have a horse in this race.
"We don't know them," one Cuomo operative said last week about other candidates for the party helm.
Some hopefuls, like Legislature Chief of Staff Jeremy Zellner, remain too close to Lenihan for the Cuomo types. Others, like fund-raiser Jim Eagan and attorney Marc Panepinto, officially fall into the "we don't know them" category.
Among declared candidates, that leaves Cheektowaga Chairman Frank Max. They know Max well after he developed a close relationship with Lt. Gov. Bob Duffy during the 2010 campaign.
"Max has the most upside," is how one Cuomo insider viewed the situation, stopping far short of an endorsement.
But Mark Poloncarz was also prowling the convention halls last week, an outward sign that he wants a say in the matter. In fact, his say is expected this week.
Poloncarz now faces a tough spot. It appears he bowed to Albany by allowing Lenihan's departure, despite a long friendship with the chairman. But he also nixed Albany's choice of Masiello, emphasizing he wanted a younger leader (translation: his own guy).
He faces the reality that his own guy must be acceptable to the Cuomo forces that kicked off the whole process in the first place, along with three or four other major Democratic factions in Erie County.
And, oh yes. It would be nice if some semblance of unity resulted, too.
If Poloncarz wants to emerge as a political leader - as appears the case - he must somehow mollify lots of powerful people while achieving his own objectives, too.
All of this is important because the chairman of Erie County's dominant party remains a central figure in the state and region. In many cases he determines who runs and who doesn't - and becomes the go-to guy in upstate Democratic politics. And as The News story on Thursday pointed out, there currently is no such guy.
As Cuomo looks to the future, it would be nice to rein in the recalcitrant western region for 2014. Nine western counties, you recall, cast ballots for Republican Carl Paladino in 2010. Electoral backing from all of New York's counties would sparkle nicely on the resume of a presidential candidate.
So in the next week, the Albany forces that initiated all this will watch intently from the sidelines. They and everyone else involved will see if Poloncarz can accomplish what they could not - especially that unity thing.
Many before have tried. Now it's Poloncarz's turn at what has always proved impossible.

DAYTONA BEACH -- Saying it's time "for fresh blood and a fresh approach," Deltona City Commissioner and Republican Webster Barnaby announced his candidacy to run for the non-partisan at-large seat on the Volusia County Council against first-term incumbent Joyce Cusack and term-limited dis. 5 seat holder Pat Northey, the latter two Democrats.
The countdown is on for Monday's 8:56 a.m. EDT liftoff of the space shuttle Endeavor. In one of the most expensive, but rewarding undertakings our government has ever directed, the space shuttle program is first class as it winds down to its final missions.
After Endeavor, space shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to lift off for the final time on June 28.
Of all the shuttle launches, though the two that stand out are the tragic ones. Challenger blew up just 73 seconds after launch, killing all seven astronauts on board, and on Feb. 3, 2003, Columbia disintegrated during re-entry, killing its crew of seven.
Question: Do you think Casey Anthony got away with murder in the death of her little girl, Caylee Anthony?
"Yes, I think she did because how do you go a whole month without reporting that your kid is missing to the cops? And all that Zanny the nanny crap? Why did she have to lie? The whole thing is just crap."
Brianna Schmidt, 18, New Smyrna Beach, student at Daytona State College
"Oh yeah. She's had no emotions at all about the kid. She didn't want her; you could tell. All she cared about was going out and partying with her friends."
Cortlin Smith, 28, Holly Hill, cook

Former Gov. Mark Sanford was on the campaign trail Friday, while former Charleston County Councilman Curtis Bostic was getting support from the faith community.
Both were looking for an edge as they entered the final weekend of campaigning before Tuesday's Republican primary runoff in the 1st Congressional District race.
For Sanford, the final push began with an appearance at a Summerville Waffle House, followed by visits to the Rutledge Cab Co. restaurant and a James Island auto shop.
Bostic was buoyed by endorsements from more than 40 Lowcountry clergy. The Rev. Greg Smith, pastor of Grace on the Ashley Church in Charleston, said many clergy consider social and moral issues first.
"Many local clergy are taking a stand and saying that issues like the sanctity of marriage, personal morality, honesty and integrity are still virtues they expect in their representatives," he said.
Sanford and Bostic, who were the top two finishers in the GOP primary, will make another pitch to potential voters at 9:30 a.m. today when they appear on WCBD-TV (Channel 2). The 30-minute special edition of "Beyond the Headlines" will be hosted by WCBD's Brad Franko.
Polls for the Republican runoff will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday. The GOP winner faces Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch and Green Party candidate Eugene Platt on May 7.

A female individual who constantly follows a male she is interested in having sex with. The intended male may sleep with said "whore shadow," but does not have any feelings towards her past the physical act of intercourse. The stalked male often doesn't know that he is being shadowed until turning around quickly and bumping into his predator.
David was thirsty from dancing in the club, so he decided to grab a drink at the bar. When he turned around after getting his drinks, he ran into his whore shadow, Lindsay - whom he had just ditched at another club.

"I'd hoped that Hannah would be able to return to Nashville with me, but I agreed that it was important not to uproot her at this time from everyone and everything she knows and finds to be comfortable, safe and familiar," Anderson tells PEOPLE in an exclusive statement.
"There is no way I will give guardianship of my daughter to anybody – she needs her father and I need my daughter."
"As a result, I called my company today and informed them of my decision to move back to San Diego, and my resignation," continues Anderson. "Hannah and I will be moving into a home together, and she is as excited as I am to be a family and continue our healing together."
DiMaggio is suspected of killing Hannah's mother, Christina Anderson, and her 8-year-old brother Ethan, whose bodies were found Aug. 4 in DiMaggio's burning house in California near the Mexico border, and abducting Hannah before her safe recovery Aug. 10.
Investigators have said DiMaggio set fire to his home using a timer, giving him a 20-hour jump on law enforcement.
Authorities have declined to discuss a possible motive in the deaths and haven't addressed other details of the case, including how Hannah was treated by DiMaggio during the ordeal.

Love, life and everything in between. Crine is the end an the beginning. It can be applied as a cream or exchanged over the world wide web. Crine can't be defined by the sum of it's attribute, it is therefore holistic. Finding crine is like finding a gold nugget that has been hidden in plain sight for all your life, but you couldn't see it because you we're addicted to failure and assumed the world was crineless. That's why crine is worth much more than Bitcoins, it's the only currency that is more free than air and more limited than gold. But crine is never lost, because it can always be remembered.
Never stop the crine.

Product Details
Ruby red polyester and black velour create a glamorous setting ideal for fashion photography, boudoir portraiture, and more.
Westcott's Modern Vintage backdrop line takes a modern spin on timeless designs, creating essential backdrops for portrait photographers.
A variety of lighting options.
Change the look of these amazing backdrops through simple lighting techniques. High-key lighting results in vibrant, highly-visible patterns. Low-key lighting mutes the background for a more subtle appearance. Create a stunning vignette with a simple backdrop light for more dramatic portraits. The choice is yours.
Reflections can cause difficulty in lighting the backdrop, loss of background detail, and unwanted highlights. Unlike most embossed fabrics, Westcott developed a solution to prevent unwanted reflections by creating backdrops with a matte finish. This matte finish ensures effortless lighting results without post-production editing.
Quality fabrics.
Westcott has worked with the best fabric mills worldwide for 115 years. These fabrics are custom produced to represent the highest quality available. Patterns are embossed in thick velour to ensure years of quality.
No need to worry about removing seams during post-production. All of Westcott's backdrops are seamless to ensure professional results.
Custom patterns.
Modern Vintage patterns are developed exclusively by Westcott. These prints are custom-designed to be large in size. This results in the pattern being more visible to the camera and size proportionate to the subject being photographed.
The extras.
All Modern Vintage backdrops include a free lint cleaning cloth specifically designed to quickly remove unwanted lint. These backdrops are also manufactured with a standard pole pocket for effortless hanging on an industry-standard backdrop support system.
Wrinkle resistant.
Modern Vintage backdrops are designed on carefully chosen wrinkle-resistant fabric. Simply hang your backdrop using the pole pocket. The weight of the fabric will pull most unwanted wrinkles out. If any remaining wrinkles exist, simply steam the backside of the background be sure to not over moisten or "overheat" the embossed velour.

pair of researchers at Arizona State University has announced a new
advancement in making nanowires that could one day lead to
significantly more efficient solar panels and LED lighting that is
color changeable. The engineers who made the advance are Cun-Zheng
Ning and Alian Pan.The pair are working on ways to improve
the quaternary alloy semiconductor nanowire raw materials.
The nanowires the pair work with are nanometers in diameter and tens
of microns in length. They are made from four elements, typically by
alloying two or more compound semiconductors.The researchers
say that the band gap is the most important thing that controls how
solar panels absorb sunlight and what color light LEDs produce. The
more available band gaps for solar panels, the more of the spectrum
of light panels will be able to absorb. With LEDs, more band gaps
mean more colors of light can be produced. The big
hurdle for the researchers is that naturally occurring and manmade
semiconductors today only have a specific band gap. The only way to
widen the band gap available to the semiconductor is to compound two
or more semiconductors. The trick to accomplishing the alloy of
semiconductors is that they two have to have a lattice with similar
inter-atomic spaces to match and be grown together.Ning said,
"This is why we cannot grow alloys of arbitrary compositions to
achieve arbitrary band gaps. This lack of available band gaps is one
of reasons current solar cell efficiency is low, and why we do not
have LED lighting colors that can be adjusted for various
situations."So far, the team has been able to create a
zinc sulfide and cadmium selenide alloy to produce a quaternary
semiconductor – this is the first time that a quaternary
semiconductor has been produced in the form of a nanowire or
nanoparticle. The team is now studying the application and use of the
quaternary alloy materials for making solar cells and has developed a
lateral multi-cell design panel.

A judge has delayed sentencing for the man convicted of seriously injuring a teenager in a stray-bullet shooting.
Tyrone Mosby's attorney is fighting for a new trial.
Mosby, 20, will be back in court on Thursday for an evidentiary hearing.
Last month, an Orange County jury found Mosby guilty of attempted felony murder.
One of the bullets shot from Mosby's gun struck Danielle Sampson, who was 15 at the time, while she was riding in the back seat of her family's minivan on the way home from church.
The bullet struck Sampson in the head and left her paralyzed.
Mosby could receive up to life in prison.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
The expression of the thousands of genes present in the human cell is regulated by dynamic changes in chromatin compaction throughout the different regions of the genome. The activity of chromatin-remodeling machineries, as well as changes in DNA-methylation patterns and histone post-translational modifications by specialized enzymes, are all biochemical strategies that cells employ to modulate gene expression.
For instance, DNA methylation on CpG islands as well as methylation of histone H3 on specific lysine residues are events associated with chromatin condensation leading to transcriptional repression. Conversely, lysine acetylation of histones is generally related to open chromatin structures with higher rates of transcription.
In this regard, there is a growing body of evidence that associates the activity of both histone methyltransferases (HMTs) and acetyltransferases (HATs) with different human pathologies, from malignancies to neuropathies. Thus, the development of molecular probes for these enzyme families could enable biologists to study in more depth the complex role of histone modifications in gene regulation, and provide a starting point to new drug discovery.
A variety of radioactive-based assays have been reported in the literature for identifying compounds that modulate the activity of histone-modifying enzymes. Scintillation proximity assays (SPA) and FlashPlate® have been successfully developed to monitor the activity of HMTs by measuring the transfer of the methyl group from the radiolabeled co-factor, S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), to the ε-amino residue of lysines on histone-derived peptidic substrates. However, as HMTs can perform either mono-, di-, or tri-methylation of lysines, measuring the incorporation of radioactive methyl groups does not provide information on the nature of the final reaction products.
Mass spectroscopy (MS) is a non-radioactive alternative that has also been employed for studying the activity of HMTs and HATs. This technology allows the simultaneous characterization of the different methyl-lysine forms produced by certain HMTs, i.e., mono-, di-, or tri-methylated lysines. However, while recent technical advancements continue to improve MS throughput, plate-based detection assays remain the standard for speed and sensitivity in HTS applications.
PerkinElmer's Lance® Ultra and AlphaLISA® homogeneous assay platforms are two non-radioactive antibody-based technologies that have been demonstrated to be novel tools for the study and compound screening of a variety of enzymatic targets.
Specific reagents for epigenetic research have now been developed for these platforms, to detect the in vitro enzymatic modification of histone H3-derived substrates (lysine acetylation or methylation). These microtiter plate assays consist of two main steps: the enzymatic reaction is performed first, followed by the detection of reaction products.
During the enzymatic reaction step, appropriate concentrations of enzyme and biotinylated peptide substrate are incubated together in the presence or absence of test compounds. Following this, antimark europium-labeled antibody and ULight-labeled streptavidin (for Lance Ultra assay), or antimark AlphaLISA Acceptor beads and streptavidin-Donor beads (for AlphaLISA assays), are added to the reaction mix for product detection.
The Lance Ultra and AlphaLISA reagents have been subjected to extensive optimization that includes a thorough analysis of the specificity of the antibody used to capture the modified residue. It is of note that for the AlphaLISA platform, covalent conjugation of antibodies to the Acceptor beads generally increased specificity and stability of the signal, when compared with an indirect capture of the antibody by Acceptor beads conjugated to an antispecies antibody. Moreover, the use of Acceptor bead-conjugated antibodies decreases background levels significantly, allowing for improved assay windows.

On Monday April 26, a panel of executives and leaders, including financier and philanthropist Michael Milken, moderated by CNBC anchor Maria Bartiromo convened to discuss health reform in a session on prevention and cures. The primary focus of the discussion was the need for government policy and health reform to address wellness and chronic diseases such as diabetes.
Healthcare reform that has recently been enacted into law is uneconomic and has put prevention and wellness on the back-burner even though unhealthy living represents a major cost to society. A lingering concern is that we are a few years away from price setting of medical products and services.
The panel drilled down on nutrition and obesity. Although consumers would prefer to have an obesity pill to treat their poor diet and junk food consumption, the panel felt that there needs to be a national war on obesity similar to the successful model used to combat cigarette smoking. Better education and a well-communicated campaign led by the government in a broad collaboration could shift priorities toward wellness, instead of just treatment, and rate setting by payors. The economics of getting the right food and exercise must be broadly communicated to the public, led by physicians at the local level. Progress will be incremental not breakthrough.
Legislators may have avoided such issues during healthcare reform since obesity can be traced in part to the junk and fast food industries where offerings have become supersized. Some have floated the idea of taxing soda and junk food, but of course this got little political support even though high taxes in combination with education works in curbing tobacco use. Some references were made to China, pointing out that they are already controlling obesity albeit in a heavy-handed way. Longterm we have to deal with poor diet and lack of exercise as it relates to obesity and diabetes. Alcohol and substance abuse are another social cost that needs to be addressed in health reform.
Additional key points included the need for innovation to drive healthcare reform. For example, major innovations in the past were statin drugs for treating cardiovascular disease and the polio vaccine, which eradicated a major disease. Although $65 billion is spent on R&D each year, it is becoming more difficult to find major cures. The drug industry is now consolidating, with more than 100,000 jobs being eliminated.
In summary, healthcare policymakers are narrowly focusing on costs and care for the sick with discussions of insurance coverage. A more holistic view of healthcare needs to be taken with the twin strategies of cures and prevention to advance medical research while altering destructive lifestyles that contribute to disease.

ETC.: Kahne has completed 92.1 percent (8,324) of the 9,034 total laps contested in 18 career starts at Martinsville. His average start is 19.2 and average finish is 20.7. He has four DNFs there.
27 PAUL MENARD, Chevrolet
Team: Richard Childress Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: Paul Menard continues to be one of the biggest surprises of the season, and is now in eighth place after Fontana. He is 45 points behind points leader Dale Earnhardt Jr., five points behind seventh-ranked Kasey Kahne and leads ninth-ranked Joey Logano by eight points.
MARTINSVILLE RECORD: 11 career starts, 0 wins, 0 top-five, 0 top-10s, 0 poles. Best career finish: 12th in fall 2012. Finished 26th in last year's spring race and was 12th in the fall race there.
LOOKING AHEAD: Menard has struggled at Martinsville throughout his career, but given the start he's had this season, might he have a breakthrough race there Sunday? Here's Menard's thoughts: "After having a weekend off, I'm ready to get back to racing. We had some great momentum with a string of top-10's before the break, so I'm hoping to keep that going this weekend. It's difficult to pass at Martinsville because everyone is fighting for the bottom groove. Sometimes it feels like bumper cars out there, but it's a fun track to drive. Qualifying and pit strategy are key because track position is so important at Martinsville. It's going to be all about survival on Sunday."
LOOKING BACK: Menard finished eighth at Fontana, paced himself, stayed out of trouble and hung around the top 10 for much of the event. He didn't have a great car, but he got as good of a finish as he could, which says a lot about Menard and his team.
ETC.: Menard has completed 95.4 percent (5,279) of the 5,534 total laps contested in 11 career starts at Martinsville. His average start is a mediocre 22.1 and average finish isn't much better at 22.0. He has one DNF there.
22 JOEY LOGANO, Ford
Team: Penske Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: Joey Logano climbed into the top 10, improving from 12th to ninth after Fontana. He trails points leader Dale Earnhardt Jr. by 53 points, is eight points behind eighth-ranked Paul Menard and leads 10th-ranked Denny Hamlin by one point.
MARTINSVILLE RECORD: Eight career starts, 0 wins, 1 top-five, 2 top-10s, 0 poles. Best career finish: second in spring 2010. Finished 23rd in last year's spring race and was 16th in the fall race there.
LOOKING AHEAD: Logano proved he's ready for prime time with a strong third place finish at Fontana. However, Martinsville has not been one of his stronger tracks. Still, with the momentum gained from both his finish at Fontana and the resulting week off, Logano has the potential to have a strong run Sunday. Here's his thoughts: "You have to always look forward in this sport. If you linger on things, you will only go so far. So I've been focusing on Martinsville from the time we left California. It was good that we had an off weekend so everyone got a little rest before the upcoming stretch of races, but with the way we have been running, I want to keep the momentum going. So I'm ready to get back at it and move on. I know our team is ready to keep racing as well."
LOOKING BEHIND: Logano finished third at Fontana, but not without significant controversy. Tony Stewart chewed out Logano after a bad restart near the end of the race blocked Stewart from getting past Logano. And then there was the highly publicized wreck between Logano and Denny Hamlin, where Hamlin wrecked viciously and suffered a fractured disc that will likely keep him out for several races.
ETC.: Logano has completed 99.8 percent (4,015) of the 4,024 total laps contested in eight career starts at Martinsville. His average start is 16.2 and average finish is 15.2. He has zero DNFs there.
11 DENNY HAMLIN, Toyota
Team: Joe Gibbs Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: Denny Hamlin dropped four spots after Fontana, meaning he has now lost six spots in the last two races. He trails points leader Dale Earnhardt Jr. by 54 points, trails ninth-ranked Joey Logan by one point and leads 11th-ranked Matt Kenseth by four points.
MARTINSVILLE RECORD: 15 career starts, 4 wins, 9 top-fives, 12 top-10s, 2 poles. Best career finish: First in spring 2008, fall 2009, spring 2010 and fall 2010. Finished sixth in last year's spring race, but fell to 33rd in the fall race.
LOOKING AHEAD: With Hamlin to be sidelined four to six weeks with a lower back injury, Mark Martin steps in to replace Hamlin this Sunday in the No. 11 FedEx Toyota at Martinsville, who is being "loaned" to Joe Gibbs Racing for one race. Brian Vickers will replace Hamlin next week at Texas and potentially more races going forward from there. Martin has had an exceptional career at Martinsville with 48 starts, two wins, 12 top-fives, 25 top-10s and three poles. His average start is 14th and average finish is 13th. Here's team owner Michael Waltrip's thoughts on "loaning" Martin to replace Hamlin this Sunday: "I think it is great that a driver of Mark's caliber is available to support our fellow Toyota team during this difficult time for them. We wish Denny a speedy recovery."
Said Hamlin's crew chief, Darian Grubb, on working with Martin: "Obviously, our primary concern is getting Denny healed up and back in the FedEx car when he's ready. We have to thank Mark and Brian (Vickers) for filling in these next few weeks, and we believe that we can be just as competitive, run up front and win races. Our team is a strong, tight-knit group, and this will bring us even closer together. The goal is to move the No. 11 car up in the owner's standings in the next few races, and when Denny returns, do everything in our power to get both him and our team in the Chase."
LOOKING BACK: Hamlin had the worst wreck of his career at Fontana, suffering a fracture of the L1 disc in his back after crashing with Joey Logano, who got the better of the incident, still managing to recover to finish third. Hamlin, meanwhile, went from what looked like an assured top-five finish to end up 25th. Even worse, he wound up in the hospital and will likely miss the next several weeks recovering from his injury.
ETC.: Hamlin has completed 97.0 percent (7,307) of the 7,534 total laps contested in 15 career starts at Martinsville. His average start is 10.9 and average finish is an outstanding 8.2. He has one DNF there.

We are all stylists of our own wardrobe, and the best of us know when to toss a has-been trend and when to hold on to items bound to make a comeback. The result: a well-equipped closet of quality pieces and styles that endure season after season. These picks from The Six: Wardrobe-Building Women's Labels – in burgundy, leather, velvet, and gold – are surefire trends, but in timeless shapes that last.
Red Dress
This little number has the same versatility as an LBD, but with added have-to-have details. (If you love the cutout look, this is up your alley.) Throw this frock on for any can't-get-out-of-bed Friday and transition (sans bathroom change) from desk to drinks.
Leather Mini
The leather skirt may be a then-and-again trend, but this straight shape is a classic, making this buttery number a long-term investment.
It's just one of those things that can either go so right – or so wrong. If you've been holding off on this 80s throwback – just waiting for the perfect blend of sheen that's not too gaudy, not too grade school – now's your chance.
As memorable as Carrie's leather studded belt and just as versatile. Cinch this stunner around a polished frock (ahem, like the little red dress), print dress, or even a winter puffer.
The Six: Wardrobe-Building Women's Labels Boutique opens Friday, January 4, at 11AM ET.

Life Technologies and Douglas Scientific signed a collaboration through which the firms will optimize the latter's Array Tape™ platform with Life's Taqman® chemistry for high-throughput genotyping applications. Array Tape is a microplate replacement designed as a continuous polypropylene strip embossed with reaction wells in customized volumes and formats including 96- and 384-well arrays, which effectively provides 76,800 reaction wells on a single compact reel. The firms say combining Array Tape with Taqman will allow researchers to generate hundreds of thousands of genotyping data points per day.
"The high-throughput capacity of the Array Tape system is highly complementary to our real-time PCR portfolio, and in particular, our TaqMan Assays," states Chris Linthwaite, head of genetic analysis at Life Tech. "Customers around the world can now leverage a complete solution for high-throughput genotyping—from sample prep to TaqMan Assays and the Array Tape system."
Alongside the Array Tape consumables Douglas Scientific also offers the Nexar® liquid-handling system, Soellex® thermal cycler, and Araya® inline fluorescent detection instrumentation to enable a continuous reel to reel process. The modular inline platform effectively offers the flexibility of microplate-based technology while virtually eliminating manual handling and complex robotics. Indexing holes along the edge of Array Tape position and continuously feed reaction wells through the Nexar and Araya. Each 96- or 384-well array is barcoded to ensure accurate identification of individual samples during and after processing.

''My hellebores are blooming,'' a friend told me last week.
I think mine are too, although I haven't taken the walk out to the backyard garden yet to find out.
I can see them from my kitchen window and from there, they look to be standing quite tall. Sometimes this time of year, when I get tired of snow and cold, I will bundle up and meander out to the hellebores patch to see what's going on. After brushing off the snow, I can usually expect to see wet, wilted leaves on top of soggy soil. I also might see new growth pushing its way up from the center of the mushy leaves. These are the leaves I start trimming away in early March. As happy as I am that I'm seeing new growth, I can't say I'm thrilled to see upright stalks in February, let alone flowers.
Hellebores don't mind the cold weather and will often bloom while there is still snow on the ground, but that doesn't usually happen in my garden until late March or early April. Not February.
I did go out near the front garden last week to help the husband carry a rather large woodworking project to his truck. While we maneuvered the piece through the doorway, down the step and into the truck bed, I found myself stepping gingerly over sprouting hyacinths. Hyacinths bloom early in my yard. I've taken photos of pastel blossoms with a light dusting of snowflakes on their petals. I've seen flowers wilt during heavy snowfalls only to stand up straight the next day when the sun came out. I've seen these things in April, however. Not February.
So now I'm beginning to wonder how this mild winter and seemingly early spring might affect the plants in my garden.
I'm not worried about the hellebores. If they're blooming now, they will likely continue to bloom into spring, although if we do have some heavy winter blasts after all, I expect them to lay down a bit, but I have confidence they will come back.
The bulbs could be another story. I use the term ''bulbs'' loosely to describe crocus, daffodils, tulips and hyacinths, among others, because not all of these plants are true bulbs, but you know what I mean. Bulbs will grow and bloom not only when the light and temperature is adequate for them, but also in response to their cold period. Each variety needs a different cold period to break dormancy. This is why snowdrops, crocus and hyacinths are early and daffodils and tulips are later. Some bulbs need longer cold periods than others. These cold periods can be anywhere from 12 weeks to four months.
It is easy to trick bulbs into breaking dormancy by putting them in cold, dark storage for a period of time and then giving them adequate periods of light. But I'm not worried about the bulbs ability to bloom this spring because I believe, even with our mild winter, we've had adequate cold temperatures for their dormancy requirements. What worries me is the lack of snow and deep cold that would keep the plant underground for a while longer.
Breaking ground early won't kill the bulbs. Their leaves are built to handle the cold, too, although they might turn brown on their tips, and a heavy snowstorm might cause them to go the way of the hellebores leaves and turn mushy and wilt. It won't kill the bulbs. What it might do, however, is force the plant into an early bloom, which will likely be smaller and less vigorous than usual.
The biggest issue with our mild winter, I think, will be the spring flowering shrubs. Similar to the late, hard frost we had a few years ago that ruined most of the spring blossoms, early spring-like temperatures will force the plants' flower buds to swell and even encourage them to open too early.
If we do get a blast of Arctic air after the buds have prepared for spring, they could end up being killed. The flower buds on our spring shrubs, such as lilac, forsythia, rhododendron and early dogwoods, were actually set last fall. They won't regrow this year once they are frozen. Although some might survive a freeze, we won't have the multitudes of blooms we expect to see on our trees in spring.
While I have been loving this mild winter and lack of snow, I can't deny that it might make a difference in what we see in our gardens in April and May. Of course, we could continue this mild weather all the way into May and that would be fine, but we live in northeast Ohio and we never really know what we're going to get during the changing of the seasons.
