Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
In the bottom of the third inning, on a sharp grounder down the line, Aramis Ramirez fully extended to his right and immediately grabbed his arm. Initally it appeared that maybe he broke his elbow or another bone by his reaction, but the replay showed him immediately grabbing his hand and upper tricep area and nothing really impacted with the ground that would apper to lead to any broken bones. The parachat consensus was a disclocated shoulder and Aramis looked in great amounts of pain. Screen grabs after the jump...
Hopefully Dr. Hecht can be along once we hear exactly what it is, but hard to imagine he'll avoid the DL with the way he initally reacted to the play.
UPDATE: Len just said that is indeed a dislocated left shoulder and he's undergoing X-rays at the moment. No word on the severity yet.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Awesome. Cubs lose their best player. The Ryan Freel Experience officially begins!
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Too bad Freel is on the DL.
This could be a HUGE loss. He is clearly the best offensive player on this team. Man, this injury could really hurt...UGH!!!!!
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Keep fingers crossed.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
official word per Pat/Ron...dislocated Left shoulder
probably needs xrays then manipulation to reduce it. Very painful for a first time dislocation but almost no pain once it's reduced back in place.
Need XRays to make sure no fracture is associated.
Fortunately it's not his throwing arm.
Will write up more later.
Freel vs Scales...hmmm.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
I think they've got to keep Scales now when Aramis goes on the DL, and prolly do a Scales/Freel platoon while he is out?
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Freel is available tomorrow, if they send Wells back to Iowa. Not sure if they won't need him for a 2nd start though.
In pregame Rothschild said Z was healing quickly and did long throw reporting no pain in his hamstring.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Wells pitched "well" enough to earn a 2nd start, didn't he? I think so--and he can certainly pitch in middle relief if he doesn't start. Why not keep him and send Fox down, instead?
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
This sucks as the team was starting to get healthy and playing better baseball over the past week or so. Let's hope ARam is out for a lengthy period of time, it could be hard for this team to keep pace. DAMN!!!
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
A long time ago i dislocated my shoulder, and it was an awful experience. Took me around a year to get full motion back, but somehow I think Aramis is going to have a little bit more rehab than my insurance was willing to pay for. Hopefully he can be back withing 3-4 weeks.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
As a physical therapist, I'm going to say 4 weeks. Just needs to get the pain and inflammation down and hope it doesn't sublux everytime he swings the bat or some other motion.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
A Dislocated shoulder at a minimum is 2 weeks off. So I'd be shocked if ARam doesn't hit the DL.
If no fracture is associated with the dislocation, I'd guess it's 2-4 weeks off. He's going to get X-Rays now and probably an MRI tomorrow to assess the details of the soft tissue damage that is present from the shoulder when it dislocates anteriorly.
There are some trends to do an early repair of the soft tissues (trying to place the torn capsule back on the glenoid (socket) rim, when the anterior capsule has a large tear (also in a high end athlete and a throwing shoulder) but it's his non-throwing shoulder so that's less likely.
The last anterior shoulder dislocation I remember was the WSox former backup catcher, Toby Hall and he opted out of surgery for a big tear. I think it was his throwing shoulder though.
The treatment thinking is different if it's a recurrent shoulder dislocation, which this isn't apparently...so it's called a primary or first time dislocation.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
In other news, this home plate ump has absolutely no concept of the strike zone. Fortunately, it's worked out for the Cubs a few times, but Uncle Milty had a right to be upset about his called strike three.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Heilman...getting to hate your Howry impersonation.
You owe Randy Wells BIGTIME.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Yeah that sucked to watch. I was thinking: I'm doing this for fun? On my own time? Ugh.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Poor Wells. Pitched more than good enough to earn a victory. Then Guz and Heilman piss it away. This bullpen is going to give us gray hair this year.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
What a shitty fucking game. It was a game that the Cubs should have won and now we lost our best player. What a great way to start the weekend.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
They just needed to score more than 2 runs. This team and the way the bullpen is isn't going to win alot of low scoring close games. That sucks to say but its the truth.
A couple of runs in that 8th inning and all is well.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Geo Soto: A genuine bum this year. Once AGAIN he chokes with the sacks loaded. Theriot's BS first-swing tapper and Soto's GIDP, there's your ballgame.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
To elaborate, I'd say this injury falls somewhere between Lee's broken wrist and Nomar's groin.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Since you have to start thinking damage control already, I'd say find a good-defending 3rd baseman where ever you can find him, however shitty his bat is.
Next, for God's sake, find a bullpen arm you can trust. Marmol & Gregg can't pitch every game.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Well, we had one with some pop - his name was Mark DeRosa.
Sorry but motherfucking Fontenot, Bobby Scales, Ryan Freel, or Aaron Miles, are not as good on a regular basis as DeRo.
HE was "paid-for" as an insurance policy, and the policy lapsed due to the fucking GM.
Again, with the light-ass hitting going on, this team will get buried, and quick. .235 Team BA with RISP!
Its going to improve now?! DP Lee, "Flash in the Pan" Soto, Miles, Mendoza Bradley, Fontenot?!!! Are you kidding me??!
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Yeah, that's about right. Although we're taking a much bigger hit offensively, since last year we had DeRosa ready to take over LF and Fontenot to take over 2B. Lee, Bradley, and Soto are really going to have to get it in gear to pick up the slack.
Maybe McFail will give us Scott Moore back?

To elaborate, I'd say this injury falls somewhere between Lee's broken wrist and Nomar's groin.
Actually, I would say that A-Ram's dislocated shoulder is above Lee's broken wrist and Nomar's groin. I learned this by being forced to watch Grey's Anatomy with my wife... that and a truly basic notion of anatomy. Shoulder, then wrist, then groin. Then again, it depends upon how you are sitting I guess...
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
If this is anything like Grey's Anatomy, Aram is gay for Theriot and also wants to find a way to carry his baby.
No, but serious, dude... stop watching Grey's Anatomy. :)
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
And people begin to move back to the ledge...
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
And the good news? Marmol and Gregg didn't need to pitch tonight. :)
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
I'd say this injury falls somewhere between...
No, if it's just a dislocated shoulder it's much less severe than either of those injuries. If there is a fracture associated with it...then it's up there.
It's his first dislocation so it's not like he's had stretched tissue making the shoulder less stable as in a recurrent shoulder that dislocates. Therefore there is usually more pain and muscle spasm until the shoulder is reduced back in place. Recurrent shoulder dislocations hurt but usually it's easier to relocate them. The quicker they can get it in place the less sedation/muscle relaxation is needed to overcome muscle spasms.
Again it's not his throwing shoulder so unless the shoulder is really loose/unstable after this injury he can make a recovery probably closer to 4 weeks as MGB has estimated.
Also note the first pic in Robs screen capture and you can see his glove (left) arm hyperextending and being forced farther back with ground impact with it being fully outstretched in an overhand position...fairly classic for the position to create an anterior dislocation. The dislocation event is in the process of happening around this pic. In pictures 2-4 the shoulder is already anteriorly dislocated.
Here's a link with a quote that matches ARam's mechanism of injury: "Most dislocations occur with the arm in a position away from the body, often overhead, and then with the arm rotated backwards."
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Which is more fun to watch -- Sori fishing for sliders in the dirt, or Milty taking yet another called third strike?
For such an agrressive personality, Bradley has been very passive at the plate -- way too many called third strikes.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Joe-day is ruined.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
or Aaron Miles taking 5 straight 85 mph "fastballs" leading off the 9th inning.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Almost like Hoffman knew he was waiting for the change-up. Never came.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
One way in which Neifi Perez is a different player than Aaron Miles...
I can't think of anything. They are both wastes of a jersey.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Neifi could play a pretty decent shortstop?
But yeah, Miles looks worse than a pitcher at the plate. Glad we have him locked up for 2 years.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
According to the Yahoo game summeary Ramirez had the same injury in 2000 and missed 6 weeks:
"I felt a pop. I've done it before," said Ramirez, who hurt the same shoulder in 2000 in Pittsburgh and missed six weeks. "It's been nine years since I've been playing, it's just one of those things."
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Oh well, June is stupid anyways.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Anybody else wonder if Jake Fox gets some more reps at 3B in Iowa during the coming week?
If he's out 2-6 weeks, this is not the end of the world. A setback, though. Maybe two of Milton, Lee, and Soto finally get their bats going and pick the team up.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Forget replacing Rammy's bat. That ain't going to happen or said bat would already be in the lineup. Pitching & defense... Find a guy who can play a nice defensive game at 3B. Any ideas? I got nothing.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
I actually think Fontenot was showing some real improvement over there. I know he is alot shorter than your ideal third baseman would be.
They've got 3 options now on the roster as it is with Fontenot, Freel and Scales.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Anybody else wonder if Jake Fox gets some more reps at 3B in Iowa during the coming week?
Nope. Lou values defense.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Is it official? Sky has fallen?
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
It hasn't fallen completely, but it is coming down pretty good.
Like I said a few weeks ago, this team should be fine if they get healthy, and that is just not happening.
Z on the DL, ARam on the DL, Soto & Bradley are either still hurt or just flat out struggling. This is not the time now for any of the "healthy" players to be slumping. Lee, K-Fuk, FontGod are just not good right now too. It is almost mid May now, time to pick up the slack from ARam or this season could be an epic failure.
Get Healthy Soon!!! Go Cubs!!
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
I was being sarcastic, for the record. Because there are people who think the season's over. Guess you didn't pick that up from my post.
Go manny! GO CUBS!!!!!!
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
In Marcus Giles we drool...
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
No I did not pick that up.
Go Wes!!
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Didn't Bradley rip a home run in last night's game?
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Yes he did hit a HR last night. But he is hitting .150 on the year. And since his disastrous 1-24 (.042) start, he is still only 8 for his last 36 (.222). I would still call that struggling.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
4-6 weeks. And this is the same shoulder Rammy hurt in Pittsburgh in both 98 and 2000. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him have a major drop in power once he returns. He might not get his full strength back for months, perhaps not until next season. Not good.
I don't like any of the options for that length of time. I don't want to beat the Dero thing into the ground, but man he was a valuable guy.
Whoever plays 3b the majority of time might depend more on who plays 2b the majority. Scales fielding percentage at 3b over his minor league career is under .900. I know minor league fields aren't as well kept as major league fields, but that is a god awful percentage. I doubt he can play there very often and not reveal some major shortcomings. We are probably stuck with a platoon of Fontenot/Freel at 3b, with Miles getting most of the play at 2b. That's going to kill the offense.
I knew there was nothing in the minors to help at 3b, but I took another look. Nobody who is a true 3b at Iowa, just weak hitting middle infielders. West Tenn has 3 third baseman, but the two top guys, Kyle Reynolds and Marquez Smith, aren't hitting even .200, and neither are on the 40 man.
It's still early in the season, but if DLee, Soto, and others don't pick it up, and the bullpen doesn't settle down, they could be looking up the entire year.
Tribune story:
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
There is somebody at Tennessee (AA) that you're overlooking, but the Cubs are probably overlooking him, too, because he's playing catcher. But he's a recently converted shortstop.
Clevenger. This guy hits effortlessly at every level. He could probably learn to play third in about four days.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
I took a course taught by Kevin Wilk last fall (Dr. Andrews's physical therapist). They don't do surgery much anymore for these injuries, unless they are associated with a bony defect. Simply, they don't work. Dr. Andrews doesn't even put them in a sling all of the time. Generally, get the pain down, and get the motion loss back, if there is any. Start strengthening in maybe a week to two, and start taking grounders and BP in two. Back in 4. I've had similar baseball injuries with my patients, including one specifically who dislocated diving for a ball, and these generally do well, especially on the glove hand. I'm going to fool around a little bit later with a swing to see if I would stress the inferior/anterior parts of the shoulder.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
I feel bad for Aram because I believe this is the beginning of the end of his career. I just don't see him being the same after this and having that shoulder issue to plague him for the rest of his career.
I pray I'm wrong.
Time for Bradley and Soriano to have one of those nuclear hot months of his.
Both Ramirez's out until July 4th.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Well, that certainly seems premature. From all reports, this is something he's dealt with before and he's certainly not had any problems hitting (power or otherwise) since. This obviously increases the chance of future dislocations but it seems really rash to "not see him being the same after this" or "believe this is the beginning of the end of his career," especially if you don't have medical expertise yourself. Those who do, such as MerigoldBowling and Cubster, seem far less extremist.
That said, one could argue ARam's on the downside of his career already considering he'll be 31 this year.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
So it's more clear that this is a recurrent dislocation although he's probably never had a full dislocation (they called it partial or a subluxation from his earlier injury to this shoulder). The injuries from 98 and 2000 imply he had a pre-existing (Bankart) lesion...
...making it sound like last night's injury just made the previously injured tissue somewhat more extensive. Next step is an MRI but MGB's post #49 is an appropriate scenerio. Once the shoulder is reduced the pain is usually minimal. Thanks MerigoldBowling. Good info.
and from Bruce Levine's blog...
According to Ramirez's agent, Paul Kinver, the Cubs' third baseman has had two other occasions during his major-league career where he had partial dislocations in his shoulder.
Ramirez had suffered a partial dislocation of his left shoulder on Aug. 28, 2000 (with Pittsburgh), Levine reported. He missed the remainder of the season. On August 9, 1998, Ramirez hyperextended his left shoulder. He returned to the lineup on Sept. 4 (3+ weeks).
and from the Tribune/Sullivan...
Ramirez returned to Chicago for an MRI after a Brewers' physician popped his shoulder into place.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
also by ARam's injury being his (left) front shoulder...I don't think it will have significant impact on his power wrt hitting. Thankfully it wasn't his throwing side or all estimates for recovery would get pushed out longer and it would be a major concern.
but just to put a little more fear of the dark side into everyone that surgery on this is always a cure, I'll bring up Scott Rolen's shoulder problems. Also left side. Also thirdbaseman and power hitter. The following is one reminder as to why MerigoldBowling mentioned that treatment in a non-throwing shoulder just might be getting less surgical.
Here's his major injury (from Wikipedia): Note the ex-cub factor
On Tuesday May 10, 2005, Scott Rolen injured his shoulder in a collision with Dodgers first baseman Hee-Seop Choi and was placed on the disabled list two days later. He was expected to be out 4–6 weeks. On May 13, Scott Rolen underwent shoulder surgery - additional MRI revealed tear in labrum. He eventually opted to have surgery on his shoulder, rather than attempt to let it heal on its own and return for the playoffs. He returned to full-time duties in 2006
So it was surgery on a torn labrum (note the report says it was a small labral tear). Somewhat different than the anatomy in full dislocaton. Surgery in this area continues to improve...but
Things did not go well in 2007 for Rolen. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list on August 31, 2007 because of his recurring left shoulder problems. Then on September 11, Rolen had season-ending shoulder surgery "for the removal of scar tissue and a bursectomy and a manipulation of his left (non-throwing) shoulder", according to a release from the team.
on to Toronto (blame it on a LaRussa conflict):
After coming off another stint in the DL in late August, this time for his shoulder, he modified his batting stance by lowering his shoulders and arms by six inches, enabling him to reestablish his offensive power for the season's final month and hitting a couple of home runs at the comfort of less strain on the shoulder, in which he had 3 prior surgeries to correct.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Great info Cubster. Looking forward to your full post.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
from the sun-times notes...still waiting on Bradley decision. Now it's $2.7M to balance the Freel vs Gathright salaries...and a Z update.
• • Zambrano rejoined the Cubs after spending the last two days in Chicago for treatment on his strained left hamstring. He threw long toss before batting practice, told team officials the hamstring is better and is expected to throw a full bullpen session by midweek.
• • Two days after an appeal hearing, the Cubs and outfielder Milton Bradley still haven't been given a decision about whether his two-game suspension for allegedly making contact with an umpire April 16 would be reduced.
• • Baltimore included about $2.7 million in cash in the deal that sent Ryan Freel ($4million this year) to the Cubs for Joey Gathright ($800,000), assuring both payrolls remain the same after the trade (figuring prorated totals).
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Paul Noce: 4-6 weeks.
That really blows, but it's not the end of the world.
But to be realistic about this, you got to know the Cards, Brewers, and Reds all said "Cha-ching" when they heard about the Ramirez injury. The NL Central is in play. The Cubs are going to have to step it up and maybe get a little good luck.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Good Point! What these injuries and poor starts by half of the starters have done is brought everyone back into the division. Now it could be a free for all instead of the Cubs taking control early and coasting, like on paper they should have done.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Nothing dejects me quite like an ARam injury. I definitely try not to be one of the Dooooooomtown Rats, but...gah, geez.
I'd also like to extend an unkind word to those who get on ARam for his alleged dogging tendencies, his alleged failure to be a "leader," etc. Memo to those people: the next 4-6 weeks are going to be pretty miserable. Even if Freel somehow Edmondses us (in a good way, in a good way!), the dogging non-leader will be missed.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
saw this from kevin goldstein (who covers the minors) in baseball prospectus:
Sleeper alert!
Dan McDaniel, RHP, Cubs (High-A Daytona)
Thursday's stats: 5.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 9 K
A 14th-round pick out of a California junior college, the Cubs gave McDaniel a $100,000 bonus to buy him away from a full ride to Oklahoma State, and it's looking like a very sound investment. Working on a changeup as the Cubs convert the big-bodied righty to starting, McDaniel has been flashing a low-90s fastball with excellent late life as well as a power curveball that has limited Florida State League hitters to a miserable .129 average.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Let me just say, as I have recently, with the team's BA with RISP below .240, and the great example of the 8th inning bases loaded last night, do you REALLY think that this will improve without A-Ram?
I don't.
Unless there is dramatic improvement from Lee, Soto (who is not the same player as last year - and probably 25lbs heavier), Bradley, and production from Fukudome - it is just not our year.
What Hendry had, as an insurance policy - and a good one - was Mark deRosa. He was paid for, and did his job.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
I learned this by being forced to watch Grey's Anatomy with my wife.
Hawkeye's disclaimer: I'm not a doctor, but I watch an actor playing a doctor on a soap opera.
They don't have anyone as sinister as Dr. David Hayward on that show.
Re: Ramirez Gets Hurt...Badly
Honestly, this really doesn't surprise me that much and doesn't worry me that much. The reality is that Hendry built a veteran team this year to survive a weak division (based mostly on strong starting pitching) and use its experience to succeed in the playoffs. I had no visions of winning 100 games or dominating the league. Z, Harden, Lee, Ramirez, Soriano, and Bradley have all had injury issues over the past few seasons, this was expected. I anticipate a summer of frustration as the Cubs remain in contention but can't really put things away. The last month of the season then will determine whether they make and succeed in the playoffs, or just miss out or lose early again. If everyone gets healthy and is playing well at the end, things could work out very well this year.

Meh, I messed that up. Mets are in.
Cards and Giants can still tie though.
Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

WAILUKU - A man who apologized for "technical" violations of the sex offender registration law has been sentenced to a five-year prison term after failing to provide updated information about where he was living.
Rodney Herbert, 40, also was sentenced to a five-year prison term, to be served at the same time, for not showing up for a court-ordered appearance.
In imposing the sentence Dec. 5, 2nd Circuit Judge Richard Bissen cited Herbert's criminal history, which includes being imprisoned for 18 of his 40 years.
"You are in a very unique category," Bissen told Herbert. "You have managed to be considered at extremely high risk to recidivate - not high risk, not risk, but extremely high risk.
"You have been on probation, parole, bail. And in each of those situations, you have violated - every single time."
Herbert was sentenced after he had pleaded no contest to two counts of failing to comply with sex offender registration requirements and first-degree bail jumping.
He was required to register as a sex offender because of a 1994 conviction in California for lewd and lascivious acts with a child under age 14, said Deputy Prosecutor Iwalani Mountcastle.
When Herbert was given notice of sex offender registration requirements on Nov. 23, 2009, he reported his address as being on Mahina Street in Kihei, Mountcastle said. She said he didn't return at least seven verification forms sent to the address, despite a requirement to update information every 90 days.
Police said Herbert was homeless and staying in the Waikapu area when he was arrested April 17.
After being charged with failing to comply with sex offender registration requirements, Herbert was ordered to appear in court May 15 but didn't show up, Mountcastle said.
She said Herbert had been ordered not to consume illegal drugs and alcohol, but tests showed amphetamine, crystal methamphetamine and opiates in his system.
In court, Herbert apologized "for my action technically."
"I should have paid more attention to what the laws were," he said.
Because he was sentenced in October to a five-year prison term for second-degree theft, Herbert wasn't eligible for probation. He asked the judge for "a little bit of leniency" by having the prison terms run at the same time.
"I'll make sure I'll follow these technical things I violated once I'm free," Herbert said.
Bissen said Herbert has a history of not following court orders and of being dishonest, including in his description of his 1994 sexual assault conviction.
Herbert reported that the victim was his girlfriend who was one month shy of turning 15 and he was 21 and had been misled about her age, Bissen said.
But he said Herbert's probation officer reported that the girl was 13 and Herbert was 22 at the time of the crime. The judge said Herbert gave alcohol to the girl's boyfriend and when he passed out, Herbert sexually assaulted the girl, according to the probation officer.

Texas poll finds Romney ahead of Obama, Perry job approval ratings up
CORRECTION: Blog has been updated to reflect an error in Perry's job approval ratings. His ratings are up by two percentage points.
An annual non-partisan poll found that Texas still leans red.
Among likely voters, a Texas Lyceum poll showed 58 percent of Texans would vote for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan if the election were held at the time the questions were asked. President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden would receive 39 percent of the vote.
Gov. Rick Perry job approval ratings are up 2 percentage points from the results of the 2011 poll, while President Barack Obama's are down 6 percentage points. About 56 percent of likely voters strongly or somewhat approve of the job Perry is doing as governor, while 45 percent approve of Obama's job as president. Perry also fares slightly better when looked at through a partisan lens.
Ted Cruz would get 50 percent of the vote for the U.S. Senate election, winning over lesser-known Democratic candidate Paul Sadler, who would receive 24 percent.
Voters are more likely to vote for a Republican representative to the U.S. Congress by a 16 percent margin. Only 26 percent would vote for a Democrat.
The poll states that the "small silver lining for Democrats is that voters remain unengaged, with between one-quarter and one-third of the electorate saying that they haven't thought enough about the down-ballot races to have an opinion."
The results were gathered from a random subset of 666 of the overall sample of 1,175 voters. The poll was conducted Sept. 10-26 and has an overall margin of error of 4.66 percentage points based on responses from likely voters.

Along with a new calendar year, the City of Philippi is welcoming a new interim police chief following the recent retirement of Chief Mitch Payne.
Payne finished his last shift on Dec. 28, Philippi Mayor Jerry Mouser said recently. Payne had served as police chief at the Philippi Police Department for 12 years, Interim Police Chief Jeff Walters said.
Officials were unable to announce Payne's reason for retiring, but Walters said Payne had been talking about retiring for a few years.

With a new year, comes a new interim police chief for the Philippi Police Department. After 17 years with the Philippi Police Department, Sgt. Jeff Walters is now the city's interim police chief. He took on his new role last week and hopes to make his latest position more permanent.
Although Walters has been named interim police chief, the position could be temporary.
He will need to apply, interview and officially be hired as chief to make his new position more permanent.
Applications for the newly available position are already coming in, officials said, adding that some interest in the position has come from outside the City.
Officials said that if Walters chooses to apply for the position, he also will be considered along with the rest of the applicants, but his status as interim police chief would not necessarily guarantee he will be selected for the position.
Hopeful to continue serving as the chief of police, Walters said he plans to apply.
"I want to make some positive changes and make us a more professional department, more accessible to our citizens" Walters said, adding that he wanted to "continue to try to solve the problems in the city of Philippi and fight crime."
One cause of crime that Walters said he would like to focus more on is drugs in Philippi.
Formerly known as Sgt. Jeff Walters, he takes on his new responsibilities after 17 years with the Philippi Police Department.
His first day as police chief was Dec. 31.
Walters said that in 2013 he would like to see more modern equipment for the City Police, more fluent operation of tasks within the office, and a good relationship with the city administration and other departments in Barbour County.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
The researchers say their approach is generic and can identify specific inhibitors of PMTs, which may constitute a new class of anti-proliferative agents for potential therapeutic use. [© Sergii Ieromin - Fotolia.com]
ASSAY & Drug Development Technologies offers a unique combination of original research and reports on the techniques and tools being used in cutting-edge drug development. The journal includes a "Literature Search and Review" column that identifies published papers of note and discusses their importance. GEN presents one article that was analyzed in the "Literature Search and Review" column, a paper published in Combinatorial Chemistry & High Throughput Screening titled "A high throughput scintillation proximity imaging assay for protein methyltransferases." Authors of the paper are Ibáñez G, Shum D, Blum G, Bhinder B, Radu C, Antczak C, Luo M, and Djaballah H.
Protein methyltransferases (PMTs) orchestrate epigenetic modifications through post-translational methylation of various protein substrates including histones. Since dysregulation of this process is widely implicated in many cancers, it is of pertinent interest to screen inhibitors of PMTs, as they offer novel target-based opportunities to discover small molecules with potential chemotherapeutic use. We have thus developed an enzymatic screening strategy, which can be adapted to scintillation proximity imaging assay (SPIA) format, to identify these inhibitors.
We took advantage of S-adenosyl-L-[3H-methyl]-methionine availability and monitored the enzymatically catalyzed [3H]-methyl addition on lysine residues of biotinylated peptide substrates. The radiolabeled peptides were subsequently captured by streptavidin coated SPA imaging PS beads. We applied this strategy to four PMTs: SET7/9, SET8, SETD2, and EuHMTase1, and optimized assay conditions to achieve Z′ values ranging from 0.48 to 0.91.
The robust performance of this SPIA for the four PMTs was validated in a pilot screen of approximately 7,000 compounds. We identified 80 cumulative hits across the four targets. NF279, a suramin analogue, was found to specifically inhibit SET7/9 and SETD2 with IC50 values of 1.9 and 1.1 μM, respectively. Another identified compound, Merbromin, a topical antiseptic, was classified as a pan-active inhibitor of the four PMTs. These findings demonstrate that our proposed SPIA strategy is generic for multiple PMTs and can be successfully implemented to identify novel and specific inhibitors of PMTs. The specific PMT inhibitors may constitute a new class of anti-proliferative agents for potential therapeutic use.
Scintillation proximity assays (SPAs) have been applied to adapt separation-based assays—for example, those in which substrate and products need to be separated—to assays that are suitable for high-throughput screening (HTS) using a simple "mix-and-read" format. In SPAs, a radiolabeled component is used that gives rise to a signal only when bound to beads that are impregnated with scintillate. SPAs have been widely applied to measure G-protein receptor–ligand binding, phosphorylation of peptide or protein substrates by kinases, as well as the quantification of a number of enzymatic products (for a review see Glickman et al., Assay Drug Dev Technol 2008;6:433–455.)
Non–separation-based heterogeneous assays that are not radioactive, such as AlphaScreen, in which donor and acceptor beads are brought into sufficient proximity to generate a chemiluminescent signal, have become increasingly popular. However, SPA remains an attractive assay format for HTS, particularly if the assay can be configured in a generic format in which a large target class can be addressed. This article describes a generic assay for protein methyl transferases (PMTs) using SPAs.
The PMT class of enzymes uses S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM) to transfer a methyl group to either lysine or arginine groups of proteins. The present article employs biotinylated peptides that are methylated with a [3H-Me]-SAM cofactor and streptavidin-coated SPA beads (see Figure). When histone H3 is used as a common substrate, the SPA format provides a generic read-out for PMTs. Assays for four PMTs (SET7/9, SET8, SETD2, and EuHMTase1) were developed using this approach.
The assay parameters were set using a three-step procedure. First, enzyme concentration, incubation time, dimethylsulfoxide tolerance, and stability were set in a standard filter-binding assay using a biotinylated-H3 substrate and [3H-Me]-SAM. Next, these conditions were applied to a heterogeneous assay format using streptavidin-coated sepharose beads from which the free label was removed by washing. Enzyme activity was then measured with standard scintillation counting. In the last step, the sepharose beads were replaced with SPA beads emitting a red chemiluminescence signal suitable for imaging on the LEADSeeker™ platform (imaging-based, SPIA).
The filter-based assay also served as a counter-screen for SPIA-related interference by compounds; for example, biotin mimetics that appear as inhibitors in SPIA due to competition with the streptavidin beads. Following optimization of the assay parameters, pilot library testing showed good performance in all four PMT assays. The use of a single detection technology allowed for rapid identification of inhibitors that are specific for a PMT. Although other assays have been described using specific antibodies to the methylated peptide product or detection of product S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) by mass spectrometry, the SPA format described in this work provides a robust mix-and-read generic assay format for PMTs.

Pax Romana's inherent violence
Tom Palaima appreciates a depiction of the nature of exploitation under Roman imperial rule
Published: 24 March 2011
Title: Imperialism, Power, and Identity: Experiencing the Roman Empire
Author:David J. Mattingly
Reviewer: Tom Palaima

Reviewer : Tom Palaima is professor of Classics, University of Texas at Austin in the US.
Of all the images of empire offered here, one persists in the memory and haunts the conscience. In a Sebastiao Salgado photograph of the modern Brazilian gold mine at Serra Pelada, countless human beings stretch in ant-like files up, down, around and across the vast sides of the huge pit opened by the collective unmechanised labour of their individual bodies.
What makes the image monstrous is Mattingly's use of it as a modern relic of the pre-industrial labour conditions that prevailed during the Roman Empire. In his chapter on metals and mines, Continue reading

MoneyAisle: Banks Bidding On Your Money?
|Email Print
The New York Times had an article about MoneyAisle.com, a new website in which "banks bid in live auctions for your business." The site offers to find you the best rates on Certificate of Deposits (CDs) and high yield savings accounts based on the amount you can deposit and your geographic area (state, zip), and the duration in the case of CDs.
Certificates of Deposit
For CDs, you enter in your deposit amount, CD duration, state of residence, and zip code (optional). Oddly enough, they can't offer CDs in the District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Vermont, West Virginia, or Wyoming. Everyone else is available. There are also advanced options to remove or add excluded banks.
I entered a deposit amount of $1,000 for 12 months in the Great State of Maryland and watched as the screen showed 89 banks bidding in round one drop all the way down to 4 in round 2. By round 6 only 3 remained and by the 8th round only 2 were left. Those two clawed and fought until the 12st round when one bowed out. In total, 109 bids were submitted from 89 banks and the winner was…
UmbrellaBank.com! (They offered a 4.10% APY 12-month CD, which is worse than seven other banks on my list of best CD rates)
Never heard of you! 🙂 But that's OK, after the bidding screen the site shows you a wealth of information.This information includes their address, website, year founded, FDIC number (all banks are Member FDIC), total assets, number of branches, customer service contact information, and a brief description of the bank. UmbrellaBank is the internet banking division of New South Federal Savings Bank, a bank with one branch in Birmingham, AL.
I now have 29 minutes before the offer expires, but I'll politely decline because ING Direct offers a 12-month 4.25% APY CD and I already have an account open there.
Increasing the deposit amount changes the offers? As you might expect, the more you offer to deposit, the better the rates. When I upped the deposit amount to $10,000, I was offered an E-LOAN CD at 4.35% APY but that's in part because E-LOAN CD's have a minimum deposit amount of $10,000. Increasing the deposit amount to $50,000 had no effect but I expected pumping it up to $100,000, which is Jumbo CD territory, would have an effect. It didn't, E-LOAN still was the top offcer at 4.35% APY.
High Yield Savings Accounts
The high yield savings account bidding was more subdued with fewer banks (66) vying for your business with less fanfare. All you provided was how much you could deposit and your state of residence (zip optional) and the banked duked it out in the very same manner as with CDs. Remember one important distinction between savings accounts and CDs – savings account rates are variable, CDs are fixed. You could sign up for an awesome rate today and the bank could lower it tomorrow.
Results of the auction for a $10,000 deposit amount for the Great State of Maryland was a 3.63% APY rate from Community National Bank, a bank located in Morristown, TN. Much like the CD screen, all of the bank's information from founding year to customer service contact information is made available. The offer is pretty good though as it tops many of the best online banks (current leader is FNBO Direct with a 3.50% APY high yield savings account now that WaMu is kaput).
Increasing the deposit amount changes the offers? I increased my deposit amount to $100,000 and Community National Bank's rate increased to 3.80% APY (they still won though). I looked on their website to see why and it appears that their savings account offers tiered rates based on the account balance.
Live Auctions? Really?
You might be thinking that there's a bank person happily bidding away behind the scenes but there isn't, it's probably a computer setup with auction rules and bidding rules marrying up the bids to give you the highest rate it can. All the site asks for is deposit amount, deposit duration, and your geographic location – there's no need for human intervention. Of course, whether a person is involved is entirely irrelevant but it does play into the "suspense" aspect as the number of banks left to bid ticks down. Save me some time MoneyAisle and just give me the rates.
Closing Thoughts
The live auction bit is a little gimmicky but it is in the spirit of LendingTree (though far faster and without as many phone calls and emails!) and it does a fairly good job of identifying deals for the average consumer. I think the savvier saver who is up to date on rates can find a better deal on their own but this isn't a bad place to start.{ 1 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Brett Gardner goes to the New York Yankees' spring training camp in Tampa, Fla., on Saturday, hoping to bounce back from the most difficult of his five major league seasons. The former College of Charleston outfielder in 2012 was limited to 31 regular season games by an elbow injury on his left (non-throwing) arm.
Gardner was eager Tuesday, even knowing the Yankees were strangely quiet in the offseason as American League East rivals Toronto and Boston added talent.
"You don't like seeing everybody else get better, but I feel we're every bit as good as we were (last season) or better," Gardner said at MUSC Children's Hospital, where he had a blast visiting kids Tuesday afternoon. "Going into every year we have one goal: to win the World Series. In order to do that, we have to win the AL East, which we were barely able to do last year. But it will be a lot of fun."
Gardner, 29, has hit .266 over five years with the Yankees. He signed a one-year contract in December for $2.85 million, plus an extra $150,000 in incentives.
The best part of 2012 for Gardner was battling back to start two games against Detroit in the American League Championship Series after the Yankees got by upstart Baltimore in a Division Series.
"It was satisfying," Gardner said, "not only to ease my competitive spirit — I wanted so badly to be out there to help the team — but it was good just to give me a peace of mind going into the offseason. It was good just to be healthy."
In New York and from his offseason home in Summerville, Gardner said he follows College of Charleston baseball. The Cougars, picked by Baseball America on Tuesday to win the Southern Conference title, are leaving the SoCon after this season to join the Colonial Athletic Association.
"I don't know a lot of details of it that but I know it's obviously requiring them to travel a lot more," said Gardner, who came to the College of Charleston from Holly Hill Academy. "I was fortunate when we were in the SoCon, we didn't have to make too many long trips. We went to Georgia Southern and Furman and Wofford and stayed around here mostly. It's going to be different for them; it's going to be a tough challenge. But I know they're up for challenges and I know (head coach) Monte (Lee) has done a real good job of continuing to move forward with the program."
Once at spring training, Gardner knows the Yankees will get many questions about injured Alex Rodriguez and fresh reports from Miami linking the star third baseman to performance-enhancing drugs.
"I'm sure it's something that's going to bug us the first couple days, but hopefully after that we can put it behind us and look forward to putting a good spring training in," Gardner said. "Hopefully, for Alex's sake, this whole thing comes and goes and he can get back healthy and helping us win ballgames."
Grins said Gardner enjoyed his time with the kids at MUSC. He wore a 2009 Yankees home jersey, complete with World Series patch on the shoulder. He played video games and signed the autographed photos he brought.
Gardner is married with two boys, ages 2 and 4.
"I'm fortunate that they've been healthy for the most part," Gardner said. "You come here and you see these kids and it kind of puts things in perspective just how fortunate I am to be in the position I'm in. It's good to be able to use the whole baseball/Yankees platform to come in here and maybe put a smile on a kid that's not having such a good day."

A man who allegedly stole firearms valued at more than $1,000 from his grandfather pleaded guilty to three misdemeanors in lieu of a felony charge Monday in Randolph County Magistrate Court.
Douglas R. Brookins, 21, of Kerens pleaded guilty to petit larceny, possession of a concealed weapon and first-offense driving revoked for DUI during a preliminary hearing Monday afternoon. According to an agreement reached between Brookins' attorney, David Hart, and Randolph County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Lori Gray, the state will drop three charges: grand larceny, a felony; speeding, a misdemeanor; and obstructing, a misdemeanor.
Brookins - who has been incarcerated in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail since Nov. 18 -will serve six months in regional jail for possession of a concealed weapon and six months in jail for first-offense driving revoked for DUI; these sentences will run concurrently.
Article Photos
As part of the plea agreement accepted by Magistrate Ben Shepler, Brookins will serve one year in jail for the petit larceny charge; however, that jail time will be suspended in lieu of his successful completion of adult drug court in Randolph County Circuit Court or, alternatively, the Randolph County Community Corrections program.
According to the criminal complaint in the Randolph County Magistrate Clerk's Office, Sgt. S.R. Judy, the investigating officer, was dispatched to a residence in the 100 block of Robert E. Lee Ave. at approximately 10:45 p.m. Oct. 6. When he arrived at the residence, the alleged victim, Jimmy Brookins, told Judy that his grandson, Douglas Brookins, had spent the previous night at his residence. He and his wife left the following morning for Morgantown, and Jimmy Brookins asked his grandson to lock the door when he left.
When Jimmy Brookins returned from Morgantown that evening, he realized he was missing four firearms and associated ammunition valued at more than $1,000; assorted collectible coins valued at approximately $500; about $40 worth of current coins; and two hunting knives valued at $50.
"The victim stated his grandson was aware the items were in the home and has a drug problem," Judy wrote in the complaint. Jimmy Brookins also reportedly told Judy that his wife was missing prescription pain killers, according to the report.

The Lake Erie Correctional Institution (LaECI) Lighthouse Learning Center is located in Conneaut, Ohio. LaECI houses an average of 1,500 minimum and medium security inmates. The Lighthouse Learning Center is proud to commit to the following educational programs:
LaECI has engaged in many community service projects over the past few years. One of the most significant projects is the Lighthouse Learning Center's contribution to the construction of homes for Habitat for Humanity. The homes are completely fabricated in the Lighthouse Learning Center's shop and when done are ready to be shipped to the construction site.
The plans for each home are created in the OCSS Computer Aided Design (CAD) program. The Career-Technical CAD construction program has been most helpful as it creates a real life experience in construction techniques for the inmates. There is also a good deal of satisfaction from students knowing that their project is going to be a lasting contribution to the community. For example, all of the Habitat homes are approximately 1,100 square feet and take approximately eight to ten days to complete in the shop. The homes are framed and all the framing is predrilled for all the electrical and plumbing.

Moen is expected to reach a deal to say in Montreal soon. From Renaud Lavoie of RDS:
Ya if it came down to it and Holland had to, trade Abby & Quincey..especially if he signs a Moen or Prust. I think even Gausted would be an upgrade to Abby (more expensive, but indeed an upgrade) Besides if Holland cannot get Parise, that is all the more cash available for a Gausted...
I love Abby and it's great that he is a Muskegon kid, but I think that Detroit looks better with:
Suter/Schultz/Gausted/Moen vs. Suter/Quincey/Abdelkader... I think Abby would flourish in a city like Phoenix or Anaheim.
I am not changing my dream roster to add Moen and Gausted, but I sure as hell would not be disappointed!
Marc Bergevin told me he's confidant to make a deal with Travis Moen this week.
And Gausted basically did jack for Nashville in the playoffs other then win faceoffs. If some other team wants to match the $3m a year he wants, more power to 'em.

Having invested so much money into facilities for the manufacturing of carbon fiber, Toyota has been searching for new applications for the material, now that the LFA supercar is no longer being built. It was expected that this would mean more carbon fiber in the sportier new models which Lexus is bringing out, but a concept which was shown at the Tokyo Auto Salon suggests otherwise. According to Motor Authority, Toyota turned up to the event with a version of the Mark X sporting a carbon fiber roof. The Mark X (pronounced "ex", and not "ten") is a Japan-only model, but is not particularly remarkable in normal form and is basically just a regular family sedan. There is a sport model, but even this isn't exactly an M3.
The concept is called the Mark X G Sport, and the carbon fiber which replaces the regular steel roof cuts thirteen pounds off of the weight of the car and moves the center of gravity down by and eighth of an inch. The benefits of this in terms of fuel economy and/or handling surely won't be able to outweigh the still very high cost of the material, but the purpose of the concept seems to be to demonstrate to the public the extent to which Toyota is examining every avenue. Being both stronger and lighter than steel, carbon fiber is a common material in performance vehicles, but the kind of mainstream adoption that would lead to carbon fiber body components on mainstream cars remains cost prohibitive. Progress continues to be made in this direction, but don't expect to find carbon fiber Camrys on dealer lots anytime soon.

Joe Graessle sat on the trainer's table. His feet were in a bucket of ice water, and his hand was wrapped in an ice pack.
It was possible he was just cooling off after a sizzling performance.
Graessle, the only player in Division II who is in the top 10 nationally points and steals, put on an all-around clinic Saturday in Tiffin's 98-92 win over Ohio Dominican at the Gillmor Center.
Graessle made 13 of 18 shots from the floor, which included six 3-pointers. He was a perfect 4 of 4 from the free throw line, and had a career-high nine assists and a TU record eight steals.
"I feel like I played a complete basketball game today," Graessle said. "I had a good matchup against me."
"I'm just pleased with the way he played," Hill said of his junior star. "(The Panthers) know they have to stop him, but when you shoot 6 of 8 3-pointers, you shoot 13 of 18... he only missed five shots."
The Dragons needed every bit of that effort. They led by as many as 21, and had a 17-point advantage with 4:18 left. But the Panthers did what they have done before against TU - make a mad dash in the final minutes, turning what looked like a blowout into a 4-point game in the final seconds.
Morgan Jones helped lead the Ohio Dominican charge. He made five 3-pointers in the loss and finished with five 3s. Bobby Stauffer, the Panthers' center, finished with 24 points, eight rebounds.
"I think we definitely let up, thought we had it in the bag," Graessle said. "As a team overall, (we) got a little sloppy."
But TU prevailed because - as great as Graessle was Saturday - he didn't do it alone.
Hill starts a pair of freshmen in forwards Eric Roby and Jonathan Sutherlin. Both played very well, with Roby making all four 3-pointers he attempted on his way to 16 points. Sutherlin had eight points and five rebounds. A third freshman, Khaleal McCormick, continued his string of impressive games with a 17-point, five rebound effort.
"We can't win with Joe alone," Hill said. "Khaleal McCormick has just really stepped up the last couple games ... it's tremendous. Roby, again, is shooting lights out.
"(Sutherlin) had a great game. Just really pleased with his development."
Roby gave credit to his teammates for his point total.
"On the offensive game, I'm knocking down my shots, but it's not me," Roby said. "It's my teammates creating the shots and making my defender come and help them. When Joe drives, when Mike Boan drives, they're pulling my guy off, which is leaving me wide open."
Mike Brown had six points and six assists as TU improved to 8-13, 5-10 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. ODU fell to 4-16, 1-14.
TU's next game will be a big one, as it travels to Michigan Thursday for a game at a tough Hillsdale team.
Hill was asked what TU needs to do to pull the upset.
"It's all on the defensive end," Hill said. "We scored points against Hillsdale here, couldn't stop 'em."

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D., joined several biopharma leaders and supporters Wednesday in pressing Congress for quick approval of the fifth authorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA V). They tied the measure as much to its benefits to industry and the broader economy as to the agency's goals.
Testifying before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce's Subcommittee on Health, Dr. Hamburg said FDA would continue the industry-friendlier approach reflected in both several recent policy actions and the agency's self-description as America's Innovation Agency: "It is critical to our public health mission that we work with industry and other stakeholders to take steps to reduce uncertainty and increase the success of all phases of drug development."
Under PDUFA V, she noted, FDA will hold a public meeting to discuss potential strategies to facilitate scientific exchanges on biomarker issues between the agency and drug developers. Dr. Hamburg also stated: FDA's struggle to meet PDUFA review timeframes soon after enactment of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007, she said, reflected drug developers increasingly going overseas for clinical trials and drug manufacturing as much as the law's increased demands on the agency.
"While foreign sites can play an important role in enabling access to new drugs, the need to travel much farther to conduct pre-approval inspections for clinical trials and manufacturing sites overseas has created additional challenges for completion of FDA's review within the existing PDUFA review performance goals," Dr. Hamburg said.
She also used her testimony to continue trumpeting FDA successes both last year and during the two decades since PDUFA's first authorization. In 2011, she said, all but one of the 35 new medicines approved by FDA met PDUFA targets for review timeframes, while 24 of the 35 were approved by FDA ahead of other global regulatory agencies. And since 1992, she added, the time required for the FDA approval phase of new drug development has been halved from an average two years to 1.1 years.
While the hearing was titled: "Reauthorization of PDUFA: What it means for Jobs, Innovation and Patients," it was left to others to make more direct connections between FDA's performance and its effect on jobs and innovation. Richard F. Pops, testifying on behalf of the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), praised PDUFA as "common sense recommendations that will help advance innovative new cures for patients." The praise was not surprising, since BIO and its pharma industry counterpart, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), spent roughly a year in talks with FDA officials to hammer out PDUFA V.
"A fundamental part of biotechnology companies' ability to innovate and raise private investment is having an FDA with the resources and infrastructure required to review and approve innovative products effectively, consistently, and in a timely manner based on the best available science," Pops said.
"Unpredictability and inconsistency in the review process, suboptimal communication with sponsors, and decreased FDA performance not only hinders patient access to new treatments but also negatively affects the ability of biotechnology companies to raise funding to support clinical development and ongoing innovation," Pops added. "This undermines economic growth in the biotechnology sector as well as biomedical research into key public health priorities."
David E. Wheadon, M.D., PhRMA's svp, scientific and regulatory affairs, cited a 2011 Battelle report pegging the size of the industry two years earlier as 674,192 direct jobs and a total four million jobs supported in 2009, with an economic output of $918 billion. Those numbers are likely larger today, since the economy was still reeling from the financial market near-collapse of a year earlier and has grown since then, albeit not as robustly as in past recoveries.
"Because PDUFA has injected greater consistency, transparency and predictability into the FDA's drug review process, its reauthorization is an important factor in ensuring that biopharmaceutical companies maintain this level of job creation and economic growth," Dr. Wheadon concluded.
For California, the state with the largest biopharma presence, the industry represents about 270,000 direct jobs with salaries averaging $76,000 a year, David L. Gollaher, Ph.D., president and CEO of the California Healthcare Institute, told Congress. "PDUFA V represents the next step in a successful, ongoing partnership between the FDA and industry," Dr. Gollaher said, and should balance the need to protect public safety "with the importance of continuing robust private-sector investment into new drugs and biologics.
"In the long view, public health and the economic health and competitiveness of the biomedical industry are two sides of the same coin. Without immense investment, the next generation of breakthroughs for our greatest healthcare needs will never materialize. Nor will the jobs to produce them," Dr. Gollaher pointed out.

The Cooperative Resources International (CRI) board of directors adopted a resolution acknowledging Juan Debernardi, S.R.L., CRI's Argentine distributor, for importing more than 1 million doses of CRI dairy and beef semen in 2011. The incredible achievement was the result of a 30-year working relationship between the two organizations.
"Dr. Juan Debernardi and his staff began working with CRI predecessor Atlantic Breeders Cooperative in 1982. In that first year, they imported around 10,000 doses of semen," notes Doug Wilson, CRI CEO. "Today, after years of steady growth, the company achieved a CRI record and first ever CRI single year volume of over 1 million units of semen."
The resolution ratified by the CRI board was presented to Debernardi at the March 21 CRI annual meeting in Bloomington, Minn. John Ruedinger, CRI Chairman, explains, "By presenting Juan with his award at the annual meeting, before the cooperative's membership, we were truly able to express our sincere appreciation for the incredible record established and the professional manner in which CRI is represented in Argentina."
The resolution itself described the actions which allowed Debernardi to achieve such success. It cited that Debernardi developed an exceptionally skilled staff featuring education as the basis of sales; saw the need to advance proper utilization of U.S. genetics through a mating system and personally scored tens of thousands of cows; and sponsored and organized thousands of Argentine producers, university staff and industry influencers to visit the U.S. for an understanding of U.S. genetics and herd management.
Michael Sleeper, CRI Associate Vice President-International Marketing who has worked directly with Debernardi for the past 30 years, personally attests to the dedicated actions and success of the distributor. "As much as any team representing CRI around the world, the Debernardi team has practiced and lived the CRI Mission of working to 'maximize the profitability of … customers', in this case, within Argentina. They are a living testimony that if you maintain the proper focus on the customer, great things will result."
The CRI mission statement summarizes the goal of CRI: "To provide products and services as effectively as possible to maximize the profitability of members and customers worldwide while maintaining a strong cooperative."

Drug discovery and development makes success out of failure—it takes hundreds of experiments to build a hypothesis that leads to a successful drug candidate. But all of these failures generate data that, when organized and applied appropriately, can help scientists not just to identify the right drug candidates to advance through development, but also to fail wrong drug candidates earlier.
In particular, scientists have employed a number of computational techniques in an effort to make critical assessments or predictions about the druggability of target sites and candidate compounds before conducting more costly in vitro or in vivo experiments. These in silico techniques require exhaustive data and sophisticated, well-structured informatics tools to help scientists exploit the data and better understand mechanism of action, ADME performance, and toxicity.
Currently available scientific data facilitates global compound profiling, which provides a broad picture of how a molecule interacts in the pharmacology space and in later-stage ADME studies. These profiles help organizations plan and manage research programs by: alerting scientists to potential off-target interactions or toxicity issues; providing options for repurposing drugs; and enabling more definitive and informed go/no-go decisions.
In silico global compound profiling exploits in vitro and in vivo experimental information to produce a profile of properties for a given compound. It follows the same methodology as experimental profiling, in which a large set of compounds is screened for a particular activity and an active set further pared down (profiled) by specific parameters such as mechanism of action, selectivity, and ADME characteristics.
In silico profiles confer many advantages, including: fewer molecules synthesized, reduced costs; more targeted and less frequent testing and screening, reduced cell and animal use; and predictive, targeted R&D that enables faster experiments and more informed decisions.
The AurSCOPE knowledge databases, the foundation of Aureus' in silico profiling platform, are organized around ligands, targets, and biological activities. Each element is described and organized into logical hierarchies according to experimental protocols appearing in the literature.
Taken as a whole, the information compiled by Aureus Pharma creates a global pharmacology space encompassing more than 50,000 publications and patents, 650,000 ligands, and 2.3 million biological activities. The AurPROFILER interface enables scientists to navigate this pharmacology space and conduct a variety of searches, including chemical and pharmacophoric similarity searches, to explore and simulate in silico selectivity profiles for targets, cell lines, or drugs/compounds.
AurPROFILER displays results as interactive heat maps to rapidly visualize, navigate, and filter results based on various parameters such as activity, species, bioassay protocols, publication type, and standard target classification hierarchies.
In silico compound profiling allows organizations to gain valuable information in order to organize and prioritize drug discovery and development programs. This tool is frequently used in repurposing drugs and investigating potential off-target effects.

From staff reports
LEWISTOWN - The Juniata Valley's commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the War Between the States continues this week with the Fourth Annual "Sparks In The Park" Civil War encampment and living history event, scheduled Friday through Sunday at Kish Park in Derry Township.
The theme of the event is an historical "what if?" involving a Confederate raid of the Juniata Valley aimed at capturing or destroying the Freedom Forge Iron Works in Mifflin County. Some historical documents suggest the idea may not be too far fetched, indicating Confederate General Robert E. Lee actively considered ways to disrupt Union rail lines and iron works all the way from Harrisburg to Altoona during the 1863 invasion of Pennsylvania that ultimately led to the epic battle at Gettysburg.

Patriots Point posted record numbers on Tuesday as ticket sales, parking lot numbers and gift shop sales were the highest in five years.
More than 2,320 paid visitors toured the naval and maritime museum in Mount Pleasant. The attraction collected $35,483 in admission sales and $12,045 in gift shop sales.
By comparison, an average day in April last year saw about 998 paid visitors touring the museum and a total revenue of $22,770.
"We believe these single-day successes will translate into a record spring that will carry over into the summer," said Patriots Point Development Authority Board Chairman Ray Chandler.
"We're thrilled to see these numbers and it goes to show that our efforts are working," Patriots Point Executive Director Mac Burdette said.
He attributed the museum's success to better marketing, more tours, an improving economy and the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau's effort in getting Charleston named the top tourist destination in the U.S. for the past two years.
"The numbers posted yesterday are indicative of hopeful signs of recovery," Burdette said. "We wouldn't have dreamed of seeing these numbers five years ago, and they're part of a growing positive trend that we hope will continue.
The museum, as part of its three-year business plan, aims to sell an additional 40,000 tickets annually by 2016 and recently announced an ambitious $4 million effort to upgrade its static displays with interactive, high-tech improvements.

Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration said a plane crash killed two people in Burlington Sunday afternoon.
They were identified on Monday as 50-year-old Todd Parfitt and his teenage daughter, Nicole Parfitt, from Antioch, Ill.
She was a freshman at an Antioch High School.
"I asked the dance coach what she would like to say. She said she (Nicole) was a really sweet person who was kind to everyone," Antioch High School Principal John Whitehurst said.
Emergency crews reported to Burlington Municipal Airport after a single engine Grumman aircraft went down.
Authorities said the pilot was trying to land when the crash occurred.
The National Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation, according to an FAA official.
