South Williamsport Borough Council Monday night formally approved terms of employment for Robert Hetner as its police chief.
Hetner, a 31-year veteran of the South Williamsport Police Department, had been acting chief since Feb. 13 when council appointed him as a replacement to Terry O'Connell, who recently announced he would be retiring from the department as a sergeant.
Council's vote to place Hetner as chief was unanimous.
Councilman Dan Cupp said selecting Hetner was a good fit for the borough. He praised Hetner for saving on overtime and other expenses in his short tenure as chief.
Cupp added that Hetner's oversight will result in a "more proactive approach in what we had in codes enforcement. I think it's a positive thing for our community."
As part of council's agreement with Hetner, he will not receive medical benefits but will be eligible for overtime hours.
In addition to the official acceptance of Hetner's position, council also hired a full-time police officer to replace Jamesan Keeler, who recently accepted a position with the state police.
Mayor David L. Lechniak swore in William MacInnis as a new officer. MacInnis will start in the borough after his last day as a Pennsylvania College of Technology police officer on Friday.
A proposed traffic study for Main Street was turned down by council. Councilman Richard Harris said his recommendation was to make Main Street a one-way road southbound toward Route 15. Harris was the lone "yes" vote on the measure and the motion was defeated.
Harris said the idea was discussed in the safety committee. He presented council with signatures from about 15 people in support of the change.
"I just have concerns with it," Cupp said. "I don't think it's a good idea."
Cupp said one of his concerns is that the state Department of Transportation could prohibit parking on the street, which would affect residents who reside there.
Council also discussed paving Clinton Street. However, bids for the project have come in too high, according to Benjamin Landon, councilman.
Councilman Henry Frey said if the borough starts paving one street, residents will expect other streets to follow.
Another bid should be obtained for a potential lower price, council agreed.
"The bottom line is, it's going to be several years until we can do a significant amount of paving," Landon said.

The Real Twitter Feed That We Have Lost Track Of
Interspecies communication may be more advanced than we originally thought
One January morning, Eric Rasmussen, an ornithologist was driving along the roads that line MPG Science and Conservation Ranch, near Victor, Montana. The snow quit falling just hours before. A fresh half-inch blanketed the older snow. Rasmussen pulled the truck over and parked in this forested draw. He noticed fresh mountain lion tracks. He grabbed his binos, bear spray, and backpack and began trudging off through the snow following the tracks for a half mile. He had a field note that he needed to complete that day and take some photos. The whole forest was quiet and not a creature was stirring.

He stopped and listened a few times. Nothing. He kept following the game trail then three other, smaller lion cub tracks joined the larger cat's trail. The four lion tracks lead down into this dark forested creek bottom. He scanned around with his binoculars and noticed a partially consumed and cached deer carcass with mountain lion tracks all around it. Rasmussen scoped out the area further with his binos and noticed the three cub's tracks leading off uphill towards a large Douglas fir tree about 20 or 30 yards away that had dark, thick mistletoe consuming the bottom part of the trunk.
By this time, Rasmussen was really questioning what he was doing here? But he continued to stand there quietly for 20 minutes scanning everywhere for the mother lion. Then he heard a mountain chickadee give an alarm call — one single, nasally call note coming from the top of the mistletoe.
The reason the wooded areas had been all quiet, he realized, was because the chickadee had sent out a warning about the lioness' whereabouts that all other prey animals in the vicinity had understood and quickly gone into hiding.
"I remember being uber aware of everything around me at that moment, a part of it all. I felt in tune with the potential of everything that could possibly happen in mother nature. I could be pounced upon at any moment. It was time to go but I also wanted to stay and be a part of it," Rasmussen recalls.
Researchers like Rasmussen and others are discovering that animal language may not only be more advanced than we originally thought, but may even …more

Obama Creates World's Largest Protected Marine Area Off Hawaii
Expanded Papahānaumokuākea marine national monument is now more than twice the size of Texas
Barack Obama has created the world's largest marine protected area by expanding an existing ocean reserve off Hawaii to cover 582,578 square miles, providing what's likely to be the grandest, and final, chapter in the president's conservation legacy.
photo by NOAA's National Ocean Service
The sweeping move quadruples the size of the Papahānaumokuākea marine national monument, which was originally designated by George W. Bush in 2006 and was declared a World Heritage site in 2010.
The monument, which is now double the size of Texas, stretches outward from the north-western Hawaiian islands and includes Midway Atoll, famed for its former military base and eponymous battle that was crucial in the US defeat of Japan in the second world war. The protected area is now larger than the previous largest marine reserve, situated around the Pitcairn Islands and announced by the UK last year.
Conservationists had pushed for an expansion to the monument following recent research that discovered new species and important ecological connectivity in the area, as well as raised concerns for the ecosystem due to the impact of ocean acidification and coral decline driven by warming temperatures.
The White House said the decision will provide "critical protections" for more than 7,000 marine species, a quarter of them found nowhere else on Earth. The area is inhabited by whales, sea turtles and yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna, which are commonly referred to in Hawaii as 'ahi. Swaths of black coral, the world's longest-living marine species at more than 4,500 years, will also be protected.
"This is one of the most important actions an American president has ever taken for the health of the oceans," said Brian Schatz, a Democratic senator for Hawaii.
"Expanding Papahānaumokuākea will replenish stocks of 'ahi, promote biodiversity, fight climate change, and give a greater voice to Native Hawaiians in managing this resource. This declaration sets us on a strong path forward for our irreplaceable environment and the generations to come."
The expansion of the ocean reserve has been mooted for some time and was expected to be announced at the IUCN World Conservation Congress, scheduled for next week in Hawaii. Obama will address the international gathering on Wednesday, before traveling to Midway Atoll to highlight the threat posed by climate change upon marine ecosystems.
The new designation is perhaps a fitting conservation denouement for Obama, who was born in Hawaii. The …more

A Birthday Gift for NPS: Obama Creates Maine Woods National Monument
Decades of efforts to establish a national park in Maine's vast North Woods region pay off
In honor of the National Park Service, which turns 100 today, President Obama yesterday signed into law the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument in Maine using his authority under the Antiquities Act.
Obama's action follows in the tradition of many other presidents who have created national monuments such as the Grand Canyon, Grand Tetons, Olympic and others that were subsequently upgraded to national park status. The new national monument – which will be managed by the National Park Service – will protect approximately 87,500 acres, including the stunning East Branch of the Penobscot River and a portion of the Maine Woods that is rich in biodiversity. "The protected area – together with the neighboring Baxter State Park to the west – will ensure that this large landscape remains intact, bolstering the forest's resilience against the impacts of climate change," the White House said in a statement yesterday.
Photo by George Wuerthner
There were several earlier attempts to establish a national park in the Maine Woods starting in the early 1900s, but all failed (read "A Park that Begs Creating"). The most recent effort to protect the Maine Woods began back in the 1980s and illustrates how persistence and perseverance can pay off. Conservation is more like the tortoise, not the hare — a slow continuous process that can take decades.
Back in the 1980s, I was writing several books on Maine, Vermont, and the Adirondacks that revealed that much of northern New England was owned by large timber corporations. I also learned that the regional timber industry was in steep decline, and much of the corporate lands were being sold off. And I also knew that nearly all of the parks and national forests in the eastern United States had been created by purchasing private lands. Here, I thought, was an opportunity. Feeling there was not enough public land in the region, I wrote an article proposing the creation of a national park in northern New England. I shopped it around, but no one would publish it. The editors kept asking me …more

Illegal Herbicide Use on GMO Crops Causing Massive Damage to Vegetable Farms
Dicamba can drift for miles after spraying, harming non-target crops
Last year, Kade McBroom launched a non-GMO soybean processing plant in Malden, Missouri, and was optimistic about the potential to serve the fast-growing non-GMO market.
photo by CAFNR
But now McBroom sees a potential threat to his new business from herbicide drift sprayed on genetically modified crops. This past spring, Monsanto Co. started selling GM Roundup Ready Xtend soybean and cotton seeds to farmers in Missouri and several other states. The seeds are genetically engineered to withstand sprays of glyphosate and dicamba herbicides. The problem is that the Xtend dicamba herbicide designed to go with the seeds has not yet been approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), leading many farmers to spray their GMO soybeans and cotton with older formulas of dicamba — illegally.
May Not Be Able to Grow Non-GMO Soybeans
While Monsanto's GMO crops can tolerate sprays of dicamba, other crops can't. As a result, dicamba, which is known to convert from a liquid to a gas and spread for miles, is damaging tens of thousands of acres of "non-target" crops in southern Missouri and nine other states, mostly in the South. An estimated 200,000 acres are affected in Missouri alone, though the EPA puts that number at 40,000. Non-GMO and even GMO, soybeans that aren't dicamba resistant are damaged as well as peaches, tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe and other crops.
"Farmers are so mad," said McBroom, who has spoken with several farmers in his area about the problem. "I'm assuming there will be lawsuits."
Two farmers who grow non-GMO soybeans for Malden Specialty Soy told McBroom that they may be forced to grow dicamba tolerant GMO soybeans to protect their farms from dicamba drift.
"When my suppliers say 'I'm going to have to quit growing non-GMO soybeans and start planting dicamba beans just to protect myself' it becomes an issue," he said. "They don't want to go that route, but they may not have a choice."
For now, McBroom says his business is fine, but warns: "If they don't get this under control it will be a threat."
Peach Producer Lost 30,000 Trees
The dicamba drift problem extends beyond non-GMO soybeans to many other crops. Missouri's southern "Bootheel" region is known for its agricultural diversity. Farmers grow a wide range of crops including cotton, rice, wheat watermelon, tomatoes, cantaloupe, peaches, sweet potatoes, peas, popcorn and peanuts. Many of those crops are threatened …more

Feds Move Oil & Gas Lease Auctions Online in Effort to Avoid Opposition
23.8 million acres of leases in Gulf of Mexico are being auctioned today amid protests from community activists and environmentalists
This morning, the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management will auction 23.8 million acres of oil and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico. Today's sale is the agency's first attempt at auctioning oil and gas leases using an online, livestream auction format, eliminating in-person observation by the public.
photo by JournoJen, on Flickr
Environmental activists say this move to an online system is aimed at stifling the public's ability to protest at the auction. They see it as a response to the nationwide Keep it in the Ground campaign, which works to stop new fossil fuel lease sales, and has targeted BOEM's offshore oil and gas lease auctions, as well as onshore auctions held by the Bureau of Land Management. Indeed, BOEM admits that the change is, in part, a response to recent events.
The agency was the target of protests back in March too, when hundreds of Gulf Coast residents showed up to an auction at the New Orleans superdome protesting the lease sale of 43 million acres in the Gulf of Mexico. BOEM says the move to an online system was largely about efficiency — as well as, ahem, "to help BOEM minimize its carbon footprint" by reducing travel.
But, responding to questions by email, the agency admitted that mounting protests factored into the decision, claiming that "recent events have demonstrated that some modifications to the lease sale process are warranted… to ensure the safety of employees."
"They are trying to hide from our movement," says Blake Kopcho, an oceans campaigner with the conservation nonprofit Center for Biological Diversity. "We have shown up at every BLM and BOEM fossil fuel auction over the last year since we launched this campaign… And I think the [Obama] administration really dislikes the attention that we are bringing to the fact that, in the emerging climate crisis, the federal government continues to offer up our public lands and waters for pennies on the acre to the most profitable industry in the history of the world to continue to burn fossil fuels."
Advocates in New Orleans, home to BOEM's Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic regional office, have been fighting the agency's decision. "The move from a public to online auction is corporate manipulation, and I believe it …more

Moving Past the Transportation Gridlocks in Our National Parks
To reduce the impact of vehicles on our parks, we need to make them accessible via public transit
As the train snakes along the inner Bay, I relax into my Amtrak seat and settle into that euphoric feeling I have every time I leave the city and aim for the mountains.
Looking out the viewing car window, I already see fewer marks of industrial development (refineries and highways) and more signs of rural California (blue herons and citrus orchards). In a couple hours I'll transfer to the YARTS bus (Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System) in Merced, which will take me right to the heart of Yosemite Valley. I don't have to worry about driving or fighting the get-the-hell-out-of-the-city traffic snarl. Instead, I enjoy the view, sip a mid-afternoon wine, and study trail maps. Once I arrive, the park entrance fee is included in the fare, and I take the electric-hybrid Yosemite Shuttle to many of the trailheads and attractions on the Valley floor.
My combined train-bus trip saved at least one car from contributing to gridlock in the Valley. Most people I tell about this way of traveling to and in Yosemite had not heard of it and I suspect that is common. As the National Park Service enters its second century, it made me consider: What is the impact of millions of vehicles on our nation's "best idea" and how does it compromise our experience of these grand places? What is being done to minimize auto traffic in national parks? Which parks are accessible via alternative transportation?
photo by Grand Canyon National Park
During my last trip to Yosemite during summer for a volunteer activity, there were times when it was a literally a traffic jam on the Valley floor. I might as well have been on I-80. No doubt being able to view Half Dome was a saving grace.
But still….I wanted to join Edward Abbey in his famous rant towards the end of Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness:
"No more cars in national parks. Let the people walk. Or ride horses, bicycles, mules, wild pigs—anything – but keep the automobiles and the motorcycles and all their motorized relatives out. We have agreed not to drive our automobiles into cathedrals, concert halls, art …more

Native American Protesters Will Defy North Dakota Pipeline Construction 'For as Long as it Takes'
Some 2,000 activists have descended on the site of the $3.7 billion pipeline construction project
Joey Montoya, like other protesters near Cannon Ball, at the northern boundary of the Standing Rock Sioux reservation in North Dakota, sees himself as not just protecting the local community from a new oil pipeline — but also the country and the earth.
photo by Lars Plougmann
"Native communities are always just the first to be affected. We're always at the front lines when oil companies come in."
Montoya, a 22-year-old member of the Lipan Apache tribe from San Francisco, is part an influx of Native American and environmental activists from all over the country who have gathered in the remote part of the state to take a stand against the $3.7 billion North Dakota Access Pipeline, which tribal members say threatens to pollute drinking water and damage sacred sites.
Though people have been gathering on the site since the proposal was announced in April, hundreds descended on the site this week as construction began — and 18 people have been arrested. [According to the latest news this morning, 28 people have now been arrested.]
On Monday night, protesters say pipeline workers were instructed to leave their equipment after protesters walked onto the work site and surrounded the machinery, in an action led mostly by women in the group. Cody Hall, of the Red Warrior Camp who joined the movement this week, said women had "jumped fences" to get closer to machinery in order to obstruct it. On Tuesday and Wednesday construction continued to be suspended. It is still unclear when work will resume.
If and when the pipeline is completed, it will transfer fracked crude oil from the Bakken field in the north-western part of North Dakota. It will run south-east across that state and then through South Dakota and Iowa before joining with a pipeline hub in Patoka, Illinois. According to its website, Energy Transfer Partners, the parent company behind the project, is the largest pipeline operator in the US by volume.
Although the pipeline will run outside the formal boundary of the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, tribal members have argued that it will disturb sacred sites, and that consultation on this point was inadequate. These arguments failed to stop the approval, which was granted in late July.
Kandi Mossett, an organizer with the Indigenous Environmental Network explains: "There are sacred sites out here, there are midden pile sites, historic sites. …more

TRENTON — A Trenton man accused of shooting a man to death at close range in December had his bail maintained at $800,000 this morning.
Emil Fennell, 23, who is charged with killing Shawn Marinnie, 20, of Trenton, appeared in Superior Court in Trenton for his bail hearing before Judge Gerald Council through a closed-circuit video.
Assistant Prosecutor Michelle Gasparian said that witnesses identified Fennell as the shooter, despite the fact that he was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and wore a mask covering his face.
The Dec. 15 shooting in front of a convenience store on the 800 block of Stuyvesant Avenue occurred in broad daylight. Gasparian said Fennell gave police an audio and video confession.
Cynthia Seda-Schreiber said Fennell denies giving the confession.
"He maintains his innocence, your honor," said Seda-Schreiber.
Fennel told police that Marinnie had previously robbed Fennell at gunpoint in the West Ward neighborhood where they both lived, and in response Fennell armed himself, Gasparian said.
Gasparian described the killing as one of "retribution and retaliation based on the perceived wrongs." Marinnie was a known member of the Sex Money Murder gang and was also known as "S Money," according to police.
Fennell has no prior convictions in New Jersey and has one other open case against him. He has several misdemeanor convictions in Pennsylvania, mostly for drug offenses, prosecutors said.

Florida State Practice Update (4/5)
Florida State wrapped up their third week of spring practice today:
-The offensive lineman continued to see reps at a variety of positions today. Cam Erving?spent time working at center, left tackle and right tackle.?Josue Matias?moved out to left tackle before returning to his normal position at left guard.?Tre' Jackson?returned to practice today and took all the first-team reps at right guard.?Kareem Are?took the reps at left guard while Matias played tackle. At right guard?Bobby Hart and Wilson Bell rotated with the first-team.??When the team went outside they went back to the normal line of Erving at LT, Matias at LG,?Austin Barron?at C, Jackson at RG, and Hart at RT. Fisher constantly preaches the need for his offensive lineman to be able to play all five positions and it seems they have entered the cross training portion of spring practice.
-Karlos Williams?was not in a green no-contact jersey for the first time in a few weeks. He split time at running back with?Mario Pender.?
-Kermit Whitfield?and?Bobo Wilson?worked as the first team kick returners.?Pender and Williams saw the second team reps and?Rashad Greene ?and?Jalen Ramsey?worked as the third team.
-Linebacker?Ro'Derrick Hoskins?worked with the defensive ends during position drills. Jimbo has been high on Hoskins all spring. Hoskins seems to be one of the favorites to fill the hybrid edge rusher position Christian Jones played last season.
-Wilson took most of the reps at the number 2 receiver position along side Greene with?Christian Green?working as the third wideout.
-Nate Andrews, Terrance Smith, Ronald Darby, Justin Shanks,?Ryan Green, Nick O'Leary,?Derrick Mitchell,?and?Reggie Northrup were all out of practice today. Ryan Green and O'Leary are both out for the spring.
-FSU will hold their last scrimmage of spring practice on Monday.

I'd driven up the day before to check out conditions and take pictures, hoping the north face might be in (not).

It was easy driving to the end of the Sunrise Mine road, then the trail was a cruise up into Wirtz Basin, so the approach went quickly. Moonset over SperrySteve & Mark in Wirtz Basin below Sperry We headed straight up into a gully that splits the lower slabs, stopping to don crampons about half way up at an icy step.

Ever steeping less consolidated snow leading up to the NE ridge got strenuous, especially where hollows below rocks or the occasional tree cut out footholds.

When we pulled over the hump we hoped was the top our hearts sank looking across a ridge at another snow face that looked very steep. Luckily it was just the straight on view that psyched us out, once I started punching up it I found relatively moderate going, but no protection. We were all running out of gas so it was hard motoring up when every move required full axe plunges and hard step kicking for security, but the sun was going down and we needed to move, so I gave it my all leading up to the summit, then pulling the ropes for Mark and Steve as they followed. 4 labels4 labels Sperry upper north faceSunset on Del Campo We wanted to hit Headlee Pass before dark, so there was little time for summit relaxation.

NBC News and Comcast Corp. moved on Monday to fix brand confusion between the MSNBC 24-hour cable news show, whose ratings have surged with liberal commentators Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, and Ed Schultz, and the straight-news MSNBC.com news website.
Comcast and NBC bought out Microsoft's 50 percent stake in MSNBC.com for a reported $300 million late last week. Readers logging on to MSNBC.com on Monday were redirected to NBCNews.com, a new website. NBC officials would not comment on the financial terms of buying out their 16-year partner in the venture.
MSNBC will remain the name of the cable channel. MSNBC.com will reflect the content of the cable channel, while NBCNews.com will be an objective news website.

The report, the latest from OCL in annual studies looking at community issues, says more focus needs to be put on educating children before they reach a classroom. There are 27,000 children under the age of five in the county. They'll go to 18 different school districts. Centralized information might help newly arrived refugees By Ellen Abbott • May 28, 2013 Onondaga Citizens League A new study finds that agencies in central New York do a good job of taking care of the 700-800 refugees who come to Syracuse every year. One community group is suggesting creating a one-stop shop for these newly-arrived residents.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Screening of kinase inhibitors is often outsourced to a CRO due to the number of assays that are involved. Laurie LeBrun, Ph.D., principal scientist, biochemistry, Celgene, described the company's in-house kinase selectivity strategy.
"We wanted to develop an internal screening system that had a faster turn-around time than we can get via CROs. The advantage is that the selectivity of our screening hits can be assessed early on in the process. This provides the medicinal chemists additional data to assist in the prioritization of the screening hits and aids in the selection of the best leads."
Dr. LeBrun said that the Caliper Life Sciences' ProfilerPro kinase selectivity assay quickly and easily provided the selectivity snapshots they were seeking. "We could quickly and easily screen early target chemical series and get selectivity results within one day. The 48 kinases included in kits one and two provide good coverage of the kinome."
Each plate can profile 12 different compounds against 24 kinases. The enzymes and fluorophore-labeled peptide substrates are predispensed into 384-well microtiter plates. Each profiling kit provides a predictable conversion of substrate (nonphosphopeptide) to product (the phosphopeptide) at the apparent ATP Km, Dr. LeBrun explained. The assays are read using the Lab-on-a-Chip mobility shift assay technology, and she reported that she used the EZ Reader II.
"When we compared our internal data with that obtained through a CRO, we found a good correlation for the kinase selectivity that we observed internally."
There are more than 500 protein kinases encoded in the human genome. An inhibitor may target one or more. Thus, delineating activity and potential cross-reactivity can help optimize lead discovery of kinase inhibitors. According to John Moffat, Ph.D., scientist, small molecule biochemical pharmacology at Genentech, there are two key questions that arise after identifying cross-reactivity to other kinases: "Does this activity translate to a functional effect in cells?" and "What is the window (if any) between on-target and off-target functional activity?"
"High-content screening assays can provide answers to both of these questions," Dr. Moffat said. "It is a simple way to assess activity in living cells that can complement data obtained from other types of screening assays. We have established a high-content assay that employs 384-well plates screened using only a fluorescent dye for nuclear staining. The images from the fluorescent microscope subsequently are analyzed with software. This gives cell-cycle information similar to flow cytometry, but provides another layer of information such as cell health and nuclear morphology."
This approach also allows a better definition of the on-target versus off-target effects of a candidate. "We are working on an oncology program that targets kinases with known or predicted effects on cell-cycle progression. We receive a large number of compounds from our medicinal chemists to profile. For example, we may screen for compounds that are expected to arrest the cell in its G1 cycle. Our screening not only validates this activity, but also helps quantitate the window between on- and off-target effects."
Dr. Moffat concluded that "a lot of information can be mined from a relatively simple imaging assay as to the cellular effects of kinase inhibitors that may be missed by other assays. Early identification of the most useful candidates to pursue saves time and money."
Most scientists would understand entropy as a thermodynamic property. However, applying "information entropy" to kinase-inhibitor profiling is a new way to solve the old problem of making sense out of the large amounts of data, according to Joost Uitdehaag, Ph.D., senior research scientist at Merck.
"Today, researchers are able to identify hits from new libraries of compounds using high-throughput screening. There is a lot of debate as to how to improve selectivity of these hits in the process and to determine when your compound is sufficiently selective. But, it all starts with quantification, with being able to compare actual values. This is what the entropy score for selectivity brings to the field."
Dr. Uitdehaag said this process allows one to very quickly choose the best compound to take forward into further testing. "We have proposed a way to calculate a single value from a set of IC50 data to quantify selectivity profiling from panel profiling. It is a powerful way to study molecular mechanisms of kinase inhibitor selectivity.
"Often, other methods are utilized such as dotting a kinome tree, heat maps or a radius plot, but these only provide a qualitative comparison. For quantitative approaches, others have developed a selectivity score based on kinase-profiling data. But this doesn't provide sufficient sensitivity. Other common methods include using the so-called Gini score or a partition index. None of these measures are fully adequate."
How do these new equations work? They are based on the principle that an inhibitor candidate will assume a Boltzmann distribution across the various targets when confronted by multiple kinases. "This distribution has calculated entropy. If it is, for example, 2.2, which is an average measure of selectivity, the compound has average selectivity. If the calculation ends up to be 1, however, this indicates that the compound is a much more selective inhibitor. One can use this information to quickly select the best candidates after screening. The nice thing is that this method gives consistent values across profiling experiments, so it's really general."
Dr. Uitdehaag also noted that selectivity entropy can be used to study the success of candidates in clinical trials. "We assessed clinically tested inhibitors and determined their selectivity scores. We found that the most successful compounds actually are those with more broad selective profiles. These findings indicate that selective candidates have less of a chance for surviving early clinical trials."
Indicating the selectivity of an inhibitor should ultimately be just as commonplace as indicating its IC50, advised Dr. Uitdehaag. "I think, for instance, the selectivity values of inhibitors should be reported when people do biological validation experiments with them. It would make a lot of sense."
Although great advances have been made over the last decade in measuring and predicting kinase inhibitor selectivity, a number of issues remain. Advances in structural-guided modeling and in enhancing the selectivity of assays should provide critical improvements for future drug development and therapeutic target expansion.

Train strikes, kills woman after OU game
Traffic rerouted after fatal crash
One woman was killed Saturday night after being hit by a train.
The crash happened about 10:45 p.m. after the University of Oklahoma game at the intersection of Main Street and James Garner Road.
All roads between Robinson on the north side and Lindsey Street on the south side were closed and traffic was rerouted until crews finished their investigation.
The victim's identity has not been released.
Officers said this is the third time in two months that someone has been killed by a train.
Last Saturday, a 38-year-old man was hit and killed by a train in the same area near campus.
Another person was killed in July after being hit by a train on Norman's south side.

My wife packed up her things and stepdaughters things while
Customer Question
My wife packed up her things and stepdaughters things while I am out of town. Said it would be easier. I return to town tomorrow and she said that she will be out of the house when I arrive. She doesn't want to see me. We have been together for twelve years and our issues are mainly that I have said hurtful things to her in the past that she is holding onto anger over..and she can't get past. We don't have fun together, don't have much in common and I fuss to much at stepdaughter. I adore my wife and daughter(raised her since she was 15 months) who is 14 years old and though I feel like this is all sudden my wife says that she has been telling me that she has been unhappy but I just don't listen. My question ... How much time do I give her till I let her know that I want to meet face to face with her and should I start counseling first without her to show that I am committed to change then hope to bring her in later.

thanks for using Justanswer. I am sorry for your pain and I am glad you guys are starting into a process of change. I hope all works out the way you want in the end.
I will answer your question and then give you additional information that I believe will be helpful.
How long till you ask her to see you face to face? Probably two weeks.
Should you start counseling before she is willing to? Yes.
She wants a big break from the discomfort that has motivated her to move out. She needs to perceive that her contacts with you are going to be non stressful and pleasant. So invite her to do something enjoyable and simple. When she agrees to meet you, be sure to keep things light and pleasurable. Don't share your pain with her and don't let her feel any pressure from you to come home or to solve your longstanding relationship difficulties. If it seems like you are starting over with your relationship from scratch, this is a good thing. Keep your date simple and relatively brief. One point of clarification: You are not trying to pretend like nothing happened but you are trying keep things light and pleasant.
Regarding counseling: Your goal in counseling is to explore changes in behavior you may want to make for your own edification (regardless of her coming back or not). She can be the impetus and the catalyst for your change but your change must be for you. If the primary purpose for your change is to get her back it won't work. She wants a better you down deep because it is what you want, not just a better behaving you to win her back.
Hope this answers your question and a little more.
If you have additional questions about this process and would like my input just let me know by using this thread.

Got it...keep things pleasant and light but how does that help to deal with issues? I am going to start counseling and I am sure that there are things that I am going to want to talk about. Is it that the first meeting is going to be an ice breaker and if she sees that I am not sharing my pain or trying to persuade that she will then want to open up and talk. We have been texting and talking and it is apparent that she is angry and disappointed in me . She is hurt and in part blames herself that she waited so long to leave. I know that she loves me deep down she has said a much she just coulnt wait for me to be the person she needs. She says I am not a bad person but she says I have been dismissive of her feelings and selfish.
Mark Manley
replied 4 years ago.
Good clarification, thank you.
If she wants to talk about issues and she initiates this then you can move from pleasant talk to heavy talk. If this happens your job is to listen, listen, listen, no defending yourself, no yea buts, no trying to set the record straight. She will say hurtful things and she we see things differently than you do but your time for defense and setting the record straight comes later, much later. The most unselfish thing you can do is learn to listen to her in a non-defensive way. You are listening so you can understand things from her perspective. This does not mean you have to agree with her, but you do have to understand her. And she needs to feel understood. This is very difficult to do. A good method for accomplishing this is called 'Reflective Listening'
This would be a good thing to address in your counseling. If you would like to look at this method together here on this thread let me know and I can assist you.
Best of success to you.

reflective listening i think i understand, i
some quick research and i have a grasp of the concept. i know that i am probably pretty defenseless against what she says and how she feels , quite frankly she is right about most things. so i shall listen and not respond but give her every assurance that i am hearing her. i feel that i am really at her mercy. i am definitely going to start counseling ASAP what do you think the chances are that i could eventually get her to join me in counseling?
i am sure you have` seen this scenerio before and in the most dire instances is there ever a true window of opportunity for coming to terms?
Mark Manley
replied 4 years ago.
You need to respond by reflecting back to her your understanding of her message. And checking with her to see if she is feeling understood by you. If she is not feeling understood you continue the process until she is. You are not at her mercy but your relationship is. Based on what you have told me I thinks the chances are very good that she may at some point be willing to join you in counseling to better understand what was, is, or could be happening in your relationship and how it might be improved. What you can assume for sure is that she is not interested in the old relationship, maybe she will be interested in seeing how things could be different for the two of you after she has had sufficient time to recover.
Best of luck to the two of you.

Holy Cross exploded for a 25-0 thrashing of Ben Franklin on Friday. And while the Tigers were unable to duplicate that type of offensive perfomance on Saturday, they were able to outlast Shaw 6-3 in the non-district road game.
Eagles' pitcher Nick Moore got off to a rough start, giving up a hit on his first pitch of the game as Holy Cross' Ryan Taylor belted a single into the left infield gap. Two batters later, Brandon Herrera chased a fastball outside and crushed it to right field, 325 feet, for the homerun, giving the Tigers a 2-0 lead.
"I was looking for a pitch, something I could drive to right-center," said Herrera, who finished 2-for-3 with two RBIs. "I got it, and that's what happens.
"It's a good feeling that I haven't had in a while, but we get runners on and we either move them over or hit them in and that's how you do it."
Herrera singled in the top of the third to load the bases, and Greg Raynal hit a single to left, scoring one more run on a shot to right.
Shaw responded in the bottom of the third by working Tigers' pitcher Josh Martino (4-0) and getting two on base. With runners on second and third with two outs, sophomore Kyle Flettrich hit a strike to right field. Shaw was able to get one run on the board, but a well-executed throw to home by Herrera ended the inning as Eagles' Jace Nini was called out at the plate.
"I was definitely safe," said Nini, who went 1-2 with a single. "I touched the base and I slide past it, then he put the tag on me—it was (disappointing) because it could have given us a chance to score another run."
Holy Cross added another run in the top of the fourth when Tyler Derbes hit a double to deep right that nearly cleared the wall, scoring Chip Bonura and extending the Tigers' lead to 4-1.
Moore (1-3), who finished with four strikeouts and gave up six hits, was pulled after four innings of work. However, his replacement Garret Roussel, didn't fare much better than Moore, giving up two additional runs in the inning, giving Holy Cross a 6-1 advantage.
It was a game of offensive resourcefulness where Holy Cross picked its spots and executed just enough to get the job done.
"When you hit the ball hard good things happen," senior Greg Raynal said. "As players, individually, when you do well, you build on it and our (last victory) did help us in this game."
Shaw came back in the bottom of the seventh and tacked on two more runs, but the damage had already been done. One of the most concerning issues for the Eagles were the runners stranded on base.
"We should have hit better in timely positions," said Flettrich (3-for-4) who garnered two RBIs on three singles. "The future looks good for us. We just have to get up in the dugout, cheer our teammates on, and pull for each other."
The Tigers look to keep their good fortunes in motion and their bats hot as they take on Zachary Monday night at home.
"We had enough momentum coming off of yesterday (against Ben Franklin), so we're very confident swinging the bat," Martino said. "Our team as a whole; we all stay together, we all have faith in each other, and we know no matter what it is, we'll get the job done."

Hearn, Birch among cast of new staging
Vampires haven't worked on Broadway for years, according to conventional wisdom. But what about Off Broadway?
A commercial staging of "Dracula," the 1927 stage adaptation by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston, will rise at Off Broadway's Little Shubert in a run that stars Main Stem vet George Hearn, Thora Birch and Italian thesp Michel Altieri.
Paul Alexander ("Edge") helms the show, in which Altieri plays the title bloodsucker opposite Hearn ("La Cage aux Folles," "Sweeney Todd") as vampire-hunter Van Helsing. Birch ("American Beauty") appears as Lucy, a woman who catches Dracula's eye.
Jake Silbermann ("As the World Turns"), Timothy Jerome ("Tarzan: The Broadway Movie") and John Buffalo Mailer also are among the cast.
"Dracula" was last on Broadway in a 1977 production that ran for more than two years. More recent stage outings for bloodsuckers, including tuners "Dance of the Vampires" and "Dracula," were short-lived.
Off Broadway incarnation is produced by Bram Stoker's Dracula, leading a team of individual commercial producers. Show is skedded for a limited run Dec. 14-March 13, with press opening set for Jan. 5.

Does this Dec. 24 find you ready to enjoy Christmas in whatever way you traditionally celebrate the special day? Most of us have some kind of tradition that can vary from a quiet, thoughtful day to one with many family members present and a big family meal.
Before Christmas, when I was doing a little shopping at a local store, I had some interesting experiences. One was in the Christmas spirit, and the other had a sad note.
As I was looking for an item, down the aisle came two bright young girls, perhaps 8 or 9, full of energy and enthusiasm. One of them ran into me, and their mother smilingly said to me, "Holler at them for me, will you?" I smiled back and said that I enjoyed seeing their bright, energetic faces and didn't think they needed me to say anything. She smiled back and said thank you.
They were just two young folks getting in the spirit of Christmas and enjoying themselves, not destructive or unruly.
As I was checking out, there was a man in front of me with just a couple of items in his hand. While we waited, Christmas music was playing over the store loud speaker system. This man turned to me and said, "I hate all that Christmas music." He surprised me, and I asked him why. He said that to him it was just so much noise and he would like take his gun and shoot those speakers.
My response was, "Wouldn't it be easier to just flip a switch?" and he grunted, maybe.
Then he said, "I know what I want for Christmas."
"Oh," I responded, "and what is that?"
"I want a life. I have had three wives and they have all been a disaster and I haven't had a good life."
About that time he could checkout, so I didn't have a chance to respond. That probably was a good thing because I didn't really know what to say. As he left the store, he turned back, and I did wish him a merry Christmas.
Sadly I watched him leave, because he obviously needed some help, and I wasn't really able to provide that help. My hope is that he does find some way to experience joy over the holidays.
On the bright side, about two weeks ago we received the most interesting and cheerful letter from Sarah, an Amish wife and long-time friend. She and husband Albert have a large family, and we marvel that she finds time to write us a five-page long-hand letter in beautiful handwriting.
Reading her letter is much like sitting across the table and talking with her. One can almost see the things she has been busy with over the past year. She tells about Albert being busy in his woodworking shop this year, making items for people and feeding the many birds they enjoy. They have three new grandchildren this year and now have 15 grandchildren, 11 boys and four girls.
Christmas at their house will be on Jan. 6 when all the family will get together. She says the men help with the dishes that day, with a little friendly grumbling.
During deer seasons, they got four deer, and Sarah has been busy canning meatballs, gravy and sloppy joes. Some steaks and deer burgers were frozen out on the patio.
Last summer they went to a benefit auction and won a young cow. The animal turned out to be unmanageable, and Sarah's description of what all happened was hilarious. They finally had to butcher her and the meat was good, she said.
We always look forward to Sarah's letters. They are a classic.
In closing, Christmas does have a way of coming into our lives. May you have a merry one!

Product Description
The Bible of the Pilgrims and the Reformation reset in modern typeface, with minimal changes of spelling and pronunciation, and containing all its original margin notes.
Researched, compiled, and translated into English by exiled Reformers in Geneva, Switzerland, between 1557 and 1560, the Geneva Bible surely was carried aboard their three ships that sailed from England in December of 1606. The New England Pilgrims likewise relied on the Geneva Bible for comfort and strength on their 66-day voyage aboard the Mayflower in 1620, and were even more dependent upon it as they wrote the Mayflower Compact, a document unique in world history and the first constitutional government in the western hemisphere.

- Modern spelling
- Easy-to-read print
- Middle English Glossary

Bill1950Bloomington, Mn.Age: 55-65Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Very Interesting TranslationApril 30, 2016Bill1950Bloomington, Mn.Age: 55-65Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5My wife purchased The Geneva Bible 1599 Edition for our Anniversary after a great deal of hinting about it. I have read through many translations of the Bible. I love to read The King James Authorized version and was curious about the difference. The Geneva 1599 is very similar in terms of language. One of the humorous thing was the Lord making "breeches" for Adam and Eve after they had sinned. I guess that so far the main difference is the use of the language. The verses seem to be richer. I can't really put my finger on it so to speak.I wouldn't advise a new Christian to pick this as their primary Bible but I'm having an enjoyable time reading it.

cj4 Stars Out Of 51599 Geneva BibleJanuary 11, 2016cjQuality: 3Value: 5Meets Expectations: 3I received this bible as a gift after waiting a long time for it. I have other bibles but have a warm feeling in my heart when reading the through the pages; I feel as though I am sitting next to the reformers. I enjoy reading their notations. The paper is very nice; the point size very small but I wear glasses so it is not overwhelmingly uncomfortable for me. I would prefer a 14 pt - perhaps Tolle Lege will produce one in the future - which will make many people extremely happy even if it has to be bigger in overall size.
I do NOT like the cover, however, and would have been inclined to send the bible back if it did not have my name on the cover. It is rather stiff - does not have a very pliable feel - and is wider than any other bible covers I have in my library. All of my other bible covers measure from 5 - 6 mm from the paper edge. The 1599 cover hangs almost 1/2 inch (11 mm) away from the paper edge - very peculiar. With frequent use, it will wear VERY poorly and probably bend and eventually crack at the bend. I did not read through all the reviews, so I am not sure if this is consistent with others who have gotten this bible or if it is just this production. I would like to hear from Tolle Lege on this subject, if possible.
I will click yes as to whether or not I would recommend this to a friend, but I would make sure they were aware of the cover issues.

Excellent translation, excellent notes from the Reformers. Good paper and even printing throughout.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Drumsticks, warden, please.
A Staten Islander nabbed in Pennsylvania after police say he shot a man in Port Richmond last month wanted to stay in the Keystone State because he liked the real chicken they served in his jail cell there, authorities allege.
Philip Bradley, 21, who goes by the nickname "Trigga," shot 23-year-old David Mazzei in the chest at the intersection of Kramer Place and Mitchell Lane about 9:20 p.m. on July 28, then tried to gun down Mazzei's girlfriend Eva Rotelli, 20, prosecutors allege.
A law enforcement source described the shooting as a "botched drug robbery," noting that Bradley tried, unsuccessfully, to steal marijuana from Mazzei.
Police incorrectly described the victim as 18 years old last month.
Authorities arrested Bradley in Pennsylvania on Aug. 1 and was subsequently extradited to New York -- where he pines for his chicken dinners. Bradley claimed he was visiting relatives in Pennsylvania, the law enforcement source said.
A grand jury has since indicted him on 12 felony charges, including two counts of second-degree attempted murder, as well as single counts of first- and second-degree assault and attempted assault, according to information from District Attorney Daniel Donovan.
Bradley, who lives on the 100 block of North Burgher Avenue in West Brighton, was arraigned in state Supreme Court in St. George on Thursday, and remains held on $250,000 bail until his next court appearance, on Friday.
The incident came just hours after another apparently drug-related shooting on Staten Island that same day.
In the earlier incident, Jesus R. Marrero, 24, of Tinton Falls, N.J., targeted 22-year-old Vincent Stabile outside 193 Virginia Ave. on July 28, after a drug deal went south, according to a law enforcement source. Marrero stole Stabile's marijuana and shot him twice, the source said.

BELLEVILLE — Belleville taxpayers are getting a break in the form of three used but still perfectly good sport utility vehicles, under a program that gives away retired Port Authority of New York and New Jersey cars and trucks to municipalities mainly within the port district.
"We're very happy and thankful," Belleville Township manager Kevin Esposito said of getting the free vehicles. "One will be used for recreation, the other two will be used by the police department."
With four bi-state bridges, two tunnels, six airports, the World Trade Center site and countless other facilities to operate, maintain and secure, officials say Port Authority vehicles rack up mileage much faster than their counterparts at municipal governments with much less ground to cover.
Even so, some vehicles that come to the end of their Port Authority lifespan may still have a few good years left in them, especially for the less rigorous demands of cash-strapped municipalities.
Those cars and trucks are made available to places like Belleville, or Moonachie, which received a 2004 Ford pickup earlier this year, said Steve Coleman, a Port Authority spokesman.
"If you give the vehicle to a local town and all they're doing is driving locally, it probably has significant value to that community," Coleman said.
Over the past three years, the agency has given 24 vehicles to Hoboken, Ridgefield Park, Middletown, Passaic, Union City, Hazlet, Secaucus, Bogota, West New York, Clifton, Wallington, Secaucus, Fort Lee, Moonachie, Wayne, Garfield and Belleville, Coleman said.
Esposito said Belleville was looking to replace some 20-year-old vehicles, when he was informed of the Port Authority assistance programs.
Mayor Ray Kimble applied to the Port Authority on behalf of his "blue collar" constituents, who live along the Passaic River just north of Newark.
"Considering the age of some of our vehicles and dearth of local funds to address the issue, need is definitely a concept we are familiar with," Kimble wrote in a March 25 letter to Terriann Moore-Abrams, the Port Authority's assistant director for economic development programs and planning.
Last month, Belleville was awarded a 2006 Ford Explorer, a 2005 Ford Escape and a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban. Esposito said the used SUVs were in far better shape than the older ones they were replacing.
And the price was right.
"We do, from time to time, bond for new vehicles," Esposito said. "But if you do get a vehicle for free that's got a decent lifespan, it's certainly a good thing for the taxpayers."

EUFAULA, Ala. -- Eufaula school teacher Carrie Frances Perkins is accused of having a 5-month relationship with a teenage student and has been charged with rape and sodomy, the Dothan Eagle reports.
Eufala police officials say the 29-year-old fifth-grade teacher at Parkview Christian School, allegedly had "sexual involvement" with a 15-year-old student at the school. According to a Eufaula Police Department incident report cited by the Dothan Eagle, the student stated that he and Perkins have had sexual relations 4 or 5 times since the start of the year.
Parkview principal Sid Dowling said he was first notified of the allegations on Monday.
Dowling added that he planned to talk with parents Friday about the alleged incidents.

Badgers Fans Build Bret Bielema Piñata
September 3rd, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
Evidently, there are still less-than-rosy feelings between Wisconsin fans and former Badgers head football coach Bret Bielema – who bolted for the Arkansas job last December.
To break in Wisconsin's 2013 season, a collection of Badgers fans constructed an incredibly detailed piñata in Bielema's likeness — complete with a set of headphones, a small crop of hair at the top, prominent nose, sleepy-looking eyes and slacked jaw.
It looks like these UW fans will be rooting for two teams this season: The Badgers and whoever is playing Arkansas.

My 2013 began with a commitment to cultivate an attitude of gratitude.
I've been practicing the art of counting my blessings every Friday (such as the authentic relationships that I have and other manifestations of abundance not listed here). I believe that at any given circumstance, there is always hope. Always.
♡ I'm thankful for being a girl. I'm a traditionalist at heart, and by being a girl, I have the privilege to be the one keeping quiet instead of doing the daunting job of chasing skirts :)
Chasing is no fun, but I'm lucky that in my job, sometimes I get to act like the boy who only chases the things he wishes to pursue :) I learned that being a qualified boy is more valuable than being a playboy.
Think Lois Lane's man.
♡ I'm grateful that my family and the closest peeps in my life, who tend to be at least 2 years older than I am, have taught me well: Against all odds, keep holding moral values higher than yourself. I'm blessed to be surrounded by these people.
Nothing valuable in life is done just for show, so better stay safe in the long run, prevent your past from haunting you, and try not to do stupid things.
Like, honestly: You'd rather get rich 50 years later than get rich quick at the sacrifice of your integrity, right? No? Okay.
♡ On Wednesday, my mother brought home a taro bread and a pastry chocked with coconut flakes. I finished them in an instant.
I can't imagine how awesome it would feel when I'll be roaming about France later in life (just picture the smell of sourdoughs and passing by castles of cheese!!!)
♡ I'm grateful that it's been really chilly these days. Somehow I think faster on my trembling feet. Monsoon is way over in Jakarta, but it's been really dewy. It's a mellow mood and I like mellow yellow.
♡ Downing warm cups of tea soothes the soul. Even for a minute or two, they help relieve a degree of physical tension. For the fellow worrisome folks, this helps ease you a ton. When you feel so worthless that you can't give yourself some credit, brewing a cup of tea is the least you can do to keep hustling.
♡ I love how the lady at the toll smiles back at me every morning. Most adults have grown so used to putting their masks on that they forgot how it feels to be sincere.
♡ I'm grateful for the bold people who inspire me and appreciate my authenticity. They give me confidence.
♡ I'm grateful that I stole 30 minutes of my time to writing these little things today. Time is of the essence, and to be completely honest, as I'm writing right now I have more on my worry list compared to the things I have in valuable areas of my life to which I can fully express my gratitude.
I'm suspended every ticking clock by uncertainties and unreliable ledes, but at the same time, I'm obliged to remain objective. At the same time, my life is hanging by a thread. It's times like these that I don't know what to do as a mere human in order to fulfill my responsibilities while maintaining a quality result.
Even if I lose myself, I still won't let time flying pass me at the sacrifice of good work.
Every word, every sentence, every paragraph I leave behind carries a seed of intent. I've had my share of redundancies in life and on paper as early as when I was in high school, but now, I'm grateful for taking this passing 30 minutes to just pause and appreciate the finer things in life, most of which are often overlooked on a daily basis.
I can't afford to waste any more time. I create value for a living out of love, and I can't allow others to corrupt that value.
Over to you: What are you grateful for this week?
Share your stories in the comments section below Happy weekend!

EWING — Two people angry about a wait of more than two hours to see the surgeon at a township dental office caused a disturbance Tuesday afternoon that ended in their arrest, police said.
Laurie Siomaiak, 46, of Trenton and and William Colligan, 62 of Bordentown Township had been referred to Eastern Dental on Parkway Avenue for treatment, according to police.
Sitting in the waiting room without an appointment, they watched as people went in the office to be seen by the dental staff. Eventually, they became irate and began arguing with the staff, authorities said. Police were called at 12:56 p.m.
Officers arrived to find Siomiak and Colligan "very upset with the service at Eastern Dental," according to a news release. In what police said was a standard procedure, warrant checks were run on both individuals. The checks found Siomiak with an open Trenton warrant, while Colligan had outstanding warrants from Trenton, Hamilton, Mullica Hill, Florence, and the Mercer County Sheriff's Office. Both were arrested on those charges, police said.
After being processed at Ewing police headquarters, Siomiak was released on her own recognizance, while Colligan was taken into the custody of the Mercer County Sheriff's Office, township police said.

Collegiate Organization
Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA)
ACSA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership association founded in 1912 to advance the quality of architectural education. It provides a forum for ideas on the leading edge of architectural thought. Issues that will affect the architectural profession in the future are being examined today in ACSA member schools. The association maintains a variety of activities that influence, communicate, and record important issues. Such endeavors include scholarly meetings, workshops, publications, awards and competition programs, support for architectural research, policy development, and liaison with allied organizations.
Accreditation Board
National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB)
NAAB is the sole agency authorized to accredit professional degree programs in architecture in the United States. Since most US state registration boards require any applicant for licensure to have graduated from a NAAB-accredited program, obtaining such a degree is an essential aspect of preparing for the professional practice of architecture. While graduation from a NAAB-accredited program does not assure registration, the accrediting process is intended to verify that each accredited program substantially meets those standards that, as a whole, comprise an appropriate education for an architect. The mission of the NAAB is leadership in, and the establishment of, educational quality assurance standards to enhance the value, relevance, and effectiveness of the architectural profession.

CHRONIC pancreatitis in childhood is a rare disease as judged by the paucity of reports in the literature. Standard texts1 describe it but briefly. The disease does not present a typical clinical picture, although there are some symptoms which may be found in most cases. Severe epigastric pain is common, and clinically detectable ascites may occur, although it is rare. While in acute pancreatitis an elevated serum amylase level is a diagnostic point,2 the persistence of an elevated serum amylase level in chronic pancreatitis is unusual. The lack of a typical clinical picture probably accounts for a number of cases which undoubtedly remain undiagnosed. This report presents a case of chronic pancreatitis in an 8 year old boy whose primary complaint was marked ascites and who maintained a persistently elevated serum amylase level for six months after the clinical picture had returned to normal.
