For the last couple of days, when it was announced that LeBron's free agency decision would be televised in a one-hour special on ESPN, every thought that I had regarding this "Special Presentation" was negative. In my mind, the most horrifying aspect of making this decision on live TV was the inevitable tearing out of the hearts of all the people associated, in one way or another, with the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, at 8:30 P.M., similarly to millions upon millions across the country, there I was sitting in front of the television waiting for the spectacle to begin. I even wound up watching ESPN for an hour or so after The Decision came to an end. I have no idea what that says about me, but that's not really relevant right now.
As I sat and watched and ever since it was said that LeBron to Miami was basically a "done deal", my emotions have been puzzling to me to say the least. I am a person who loves basketball and loves the NBA, but, unlike with other sports that I follow, I do not have a team that I have rooted for and lived and died with. As a lifelong North Carolina fan, I attached myself to the Bulls during the Jordan years and they became "my" team. After Jordan, though, I followed the league intently, but mostly threw my support around individual players. Eventually, through his days at Marquette and then with the Heat, I became an avid Dwyane Wade fan and, thus, chose the Heat as my team to support. Also, during that time, I, like many others, became a huge LeBron James fan. I loved the way he played the game and thought he was potentially the most talented pure basketball player that ever lived.
Based on those developments, you would assume that I would be beyond excited about The Decision and the potential building of a dynasty in Miami. I am sad to say, though, that is not what I am feeling. My range of emotions, rather than bordering on elation and unbridled anticipation for the upcoming season and the years to follow, have a hint of sadness and disappointment that crosses many levels. Let me try and break down what I am feeling more clearly:
1. Sadness - The sadness I feel for the Cleveland fans, organization, and city in general is surprising to me because I have no ties to the city or the fan base whatsoever. Honestly, I can't even imagine what they are feeling right now. A town that really only had one positive thing to collectively rally around in the LeBron and the Cavaliers, now, once again has nothing. The city is economically challenged, as many are, but now the one thing and one person that brought hope or at the very least an escape from the trying times that "real life" brings, basically kicked the city and it's inhabitants when it was down. By going on national TV to make this announcement, LeBron not only destroyed the morale of an already shaken city, but decided to do it in front of millions nation-wide. I see now way that LeBron is ever welcomed back into that city, which is a shame because one of the most endearing things about LeBron was the connection he had with the city and the fans.
2. Disappointment - I listened to a lot of the "experts" tonight talking about how unselfish LeBron was being by taking less money, putting his ego aside, and making this decision based solely on winning championships. In some ways, I agree with those sentiments. It is refreshing at times to see superstars put aside their normal craving for the spotlight and sacrificing for the greater good of a team while trying to achieve an ultimate goal. This is the reason why so many people, including myself, thoroughly enjoyed watching all of these guys play on the national team. However, the Olympics are one thing and this is another. My expectations for LeBron have always been that he was the type of player that I thought and hoped would be able to lead a team to multiple championships and become regarded as the greatest player since Michael Jordan and could potentially enter into the conversation with the all-time greats. His pure basketball talent warranted those expectations in my mind. However, the past couple of playoff disappointments and then this decision tonight changed that for me.
Maybe he will win multiple titles in Miami and achieve some level of greatness, but the fact that he didn't relish the challenge of stepping his game up another level in order to bring a championship to the city that he supposedly loved and truly cement his place in the basketball pantheon diminishes him in my eyes. The one knock on LeBron, and the thing that separated guys like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant from him, was that he didn't seem to just have that killer mentality. He did in certain games and situations, but it was always more of his pure physical prowess wearing teams down rather than him just breaking the spirit of his opponents with an unrelenting desire to step on their throats.
This is an odd stance for me to take since the reason why I dislike Kobe Bryant so much is because I always thought that he wanted to win more because winning made people look upon him as being great rather than just winning for the sake of winning. It seemed like Kobe winning without Kobe being the star, would not be nearly as satisfying to him. However, the one positive about Kobe is that he willingly accepts the challenge of being great and feeds off that challenge and takes someone trying to beat his team very personal. LeBron never seemed to do that and now he won't really have to in Miami. D-Wade already has shown that he can be that killer as well and now LeBron can almost become the second fiddle. That would be fine for almost any other player in the league, but a player with the talent, gifts, and unlimited ability like LeBron should not be content settling for anything less than greatness.
3. Indecision - As a type this, I am sitting below the Dwyane Wade jersey hanging on my wall. My hope going into free agency was that Pat Riley, who is getting a ton of credit right now, but who has made a ton of questionable moves in Miami, would surround D-Wade with the pieces to get the Heat back into title contention. However, now that he has done just that, there is a part of me is unsure whether I really want to root for this team. I am such a big Wade fan, though, and still do love LeBron's actual game, so this feeling may subside when they actually get on the court, but, right now, I just am not sure. Doesn't help either that I can't stand Chris Bosh's game and think he is the luckiest guy on the planet tonight.
4. Confidence - With everything I wrote above, the honest truth is that I do think these three players will actually fit well together and will have a chance to win multiple titles. I still think there are some potential land mines that could derail this potential dynasty, but I have the gut feeling that they will be able to figure it all out in the end on the court and make it work. The key will be, though, whether Coach Spoelstra and Pat Riley figure out the style of play they want to run and can get the role players around the big three to fit whatever style they come up with.
In the end, this night and this free agency period, that has been anticipated for two years now, has potentially changed the landscape of the league. The only question now is whether it has actually changed it for the better.

Rocky Mount, NC—One of the most striking features of North Carolina Wesleyan College's campus is the tall pines that grace the areas around many buildings and athletic facilities. In addition, areas of mature pines and other trees cover many of the undeveloped sections of Wesleyan's 200-acre campus.
The college's new president, Dr. Dewey Clark, says he has seen Wesleyan's trees and forests grow and mature since the early 1980s, when he was a student at Wesleyan. Now, as president, he and other college officials are making plans to improve the health of the trees on campus.
"We want to develop a forest management plan to address the condition of our trees and forest areas," President Clark said. "Aesthetics are a major concern, but so is forest health."
To improve the condition of campus trees, Clark said Wesleyan has reached out to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and to Nash County Ranger Bill Lewis and to Alan Moore, an Eastern Region Urban Forestry Specialist and certified arborist.
"These experts have provided us with guidance and advice for developing a comprehensive campus tree plan," Clark said. "The plan is badly needed, because fully mature and unmanaged forestland such as what we have developing at Wesleyan will eventually reach an age where declining forest tree health can result in insect infestation, forest tree disease, and dead trees that can create a fire hazard."
Clark said that after meeting with forest management experts, college officials decided to begin a selective thinning timber harvest, in addition to pruning or removing some individual trees. The work is expected to get under way in late July.
"We will be doing a hand-marked selective thinning timber harvest so we can leave the best trees and promote their growth," Clark said. "At the same time, we'll remove potentially hazardous limbs and trees that are too close to residence halls and other buildings. The tree pruning will be completed before students return in late August, and the hand-marked selective thinning timber harvest will be finished by November."
Clark said that at the end of one growing season after the timber is thinned, a herbicide will be applied to prevent an understory of vegetation from growing back. "This is recommended because thinning the trees will let more sunlight shine on the forest floor and cause an increase in vegetation," he explained.
For purposes of tree management, the forested areas on campus have been divided into six specific regions. "The North Carolina Forest Service will be fully involved with all cutting operations to ensure that any water quality issues are handled according to best management practices," Clark added.
"Ideally, at some point after the tree and forestry management plan has been implemented, we hope Wesleyan can apply for recognition in the Arbor Day Foundation's Tree Campus USA Program. This will help Wesleyan ensure that the beauty of the campus trees and forest areas can continue to be shared with many generations to come."

Theatre Unchained fails to recapture magic of 'Fawlty Towers'
After two series involving 12 priceless episodes of "Fawlty Towers" — one of the great sitcoms of all time — authors John Cleese and Connie Booth called it quits, partly because they were concerned a third series could bring a falloff in quality.
Watching the patchy Theatre Unchained production on Saturday night of three "Fawlty" episodes — "The Germans," "The Kipper and the Corpse" and "Basil the Rat" — I found myself wishing it had followed Cleese and Booth's example. »Read Full Article(2)
'Gravity' meets the government shutdown on 'SNL'
After hitting the mark with its Miley Cyrus-centric episode last week, "Saturday Night Live" slipped back into its familiar monotonous groove with an episode hosted by Bruce Willis.
The highlight might have been the opening "Gravity" meets the government shutdown sketch that opened the show. »Read Full Blog Post

The Council of Canadians Calgary chapter organized a public forum this afternoon featuring Maude Barlow talking about her new book Boiling Point: Government Neglect, Corporate Abuse, and Canada's Water Crisis.
In Boiling Point, Barlow writes, "The water crisis is at our door here in Canada. All the issues we thought so far away are upon us now. It is time to abandon our false beliefs that Canada has unlimited supplies of water, that Canadians have taken care of this water heritage and one another or that we still have lots of time to do so. We need a strong, national plan of action based on a new water ethic that puts water protection and water justice at the heart of all our policies and laws."
Council of Canadians organizer Diane Connors tweeted quotes from Barlow's speech this afternoon including:

A new exhibition exploring the life of the British decorative artist Sir James Thornhill and his masterpiece – the Painted Hall at Greenwich (painted between 1708 and 1727) – is to open next month at the Stephen Lawrence Gallery.
The exhibition, curated by the Old Royal Naval College, explores the story of the commission through numerous preparatory sketches made by the artist, including rarely-seen original drawings on loan from the National Maritime Museum.
'A Great and Noble Design' coincides with the start of a major conservation project on this extraordinary cycle of baroque mural paintings. A fully-illustrated catalogue of sketches has been produced to accompany the display.
Three newly-conserved, original sketches by Thornhill for the Painted Hall will be on display in the exhibition, alongside new research undertaken into the paintings in the light of the upcoming conservation work on the Painted Hall's ceiling.
Held at the Stephen Lawrence Gallery in the centre of Greenwich, this free exhibition is an essential visit for anyone interested in the Painted Hall.

Elon Musk's companies unite as Tesla offers to buy SolarCity for US$2.8 billion
Tesla has made a bid to buy solar panel manufacturer SolarCity for US$2.8 billion, a move that would allow Tesla to offer everything from electric cars to batteries and solar panels under a single brand.

Here's why you should take all the hype around the Tesla Model 3 with a pinch of salt
To say that the Tesla Model 3 was well-received would be an understatement. The car racked up over 325,000 reservations in its first week, and has been hailed as the vehicle to take electric vehicles to the mainstream. But that may not actually be the case. Here's why the hype may be overblown.

And he's not quite done serving the community. Voters should cast their ballots May 20 to keep Smith on the commission.
Pretty much all candidates talk about change. Here's one thing Smith wants to change: pronouns. There's too much talk in Augusta about "I" and "my" when the conversation, he rightly asserts, should revolve around "us" and "we."
Smith announced his re-election bid in January at the corner of Windsor Spring Road and U.S. Highway 25 – and for good reason. South Augusta is the next part of the city poised to explode with growth. With Plant Vogtle's expansion ready to supercharge the economy of neighboring Burke County, south Augusta needs to be ready to take advantage of that. As a commissioner, Smith wants to help.
He also wants to continue his efforts to ensure the most prudent spending of our tax dollars and the best strategies for keeping our streets and our schools safe.
You'd have to look a long time for someone with deeper, prouder local roots than Smith. A lifelong Augusta resident, he best represents the city's business in part because of his own success in business, having run his own mechanical contracting company since 1975.
Smith isn't complicated. He's straightforward. He's honest. And as someone who never has been a stranger to hard work, he will continue to work hard for the citizens of Augusta. Please vote for him May 20.

Anyone know or have a prediction? It can't be that much,it's a 3ds port.
That's what I thought...and hoped. Capcom seem to like doing straight ports with a couple of extra features, like the wii port of RE4.
The requirements can be found at the link below:
It appears that the game will have a physical (box) copy available according to the DVD drive requirement.

ATI Radeon HD3850 or better
That's pretty interesting. My cruddy notebook has a AMD Radeon HD 6300M.
Be aware that most games today have a minimum of a Radeon HD3850 or one to two models below.
Most people make the mistake of assuming that because the first number is higher, the card is automatically better. The first digit is just the series (like 3xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx and so on). The following three digits reflect the power of the card. An HD3850 could be superior to a HD6300, it's just that the HD6300 is a newer series, but a weaker card overall. Of course an HD6850 would be far above both.
I don't know the exact stats, so I can't say if a HD6300M would run the game or not... or whether it's inferior to the HD3850 or not...
It may have sugar, it may have everything nice - but if it lacks spice I'm not interested.
If your HD6300M is part of an APU instead of something soldered onto the motherboard you're somewhat better off than someone using a non-APU system. That's not to say it's any great shakes in the grand scheme of things, but AMD's APUs have been getting some pretty good gaming reviews, especially in comparison to Intel's offerings. Even CPUs like the i5-2500k generally get worse gaming performance when reliant on the HD4000 on the CPU.
That said from what I've seen out of AMD's general progression in hardware power versus model numbering a 6300 will probably be about as good as a 5400-5430 which in turn could match a 4500-4550 or 36xx-37xx model. IOW you'll likely be below the minimum, but not so far below that it would be impossible to run the game.
Stop complaining. I could have done this more painfully. - Dryad from Sacred 2.

The Utah Supreme Court has upheld the millions of dollars that John Price, a former Utah resident and real estate magnate now serving as U.S. Ambassador in Africa, was ordered two years ago to pay for dishonest business dealings with two former partners.
Price and his company, Fairfax Realty Inc., formerly Price Development Co., must pay $6.5 million in compensatory and punitive damages, plus interest and attorney fees to Armand and Virginia Smith of Clovis, N.M.
The Smiths were awarded the money in spring 2001 by a 3rd District jury that found Price cheated them out of close to $1 million they should have gotten for their share of a shopping mall in Clovis.
Utah Supreme Court justices heard arguments in the appeal in June.

Personal Injury and Maritime Lawyers Based Out of Houston
If you or a member of your family has been seriously injured or killed as a result of a maritime accident or offshore injury, Schechter, McElwee, Shaffer & Harris knows it is extremely important that you get legal advice. Working on and around boats and rigs comes with inherent risks. However, it is the responsibility of your employer to minimize these risks.
When you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, whether it involves passenger vehicles, 18-wheelers, motorcycles, pedestrians, bicycles or buses, our auto accident lawyers can help. Schechter, McElwee, Shaffer & Harris has over 45 years of experience representing clients with claims against the biggest insurance carriers in the nation, and won.
When a large, heavy 18-wheeler collides with a smaller passenger vehicle, the results can be devastating. Driver negligence, reckless driving, improper truck maintenance and improperly secured loads are common causes of accidents involving commercial trucks.
If a member of your family has been seriously injured or killed as a result of negligence at the workplace, it is extremely important that you get legal advice from a work accident lawyer. The insurance company of the responsible party will do their best to downplay your case and limit your workers compensation settlement.
Schechter, McElwee, Shaffer & Harris understand that injuries sustained from accidents can vary widely in severity. Whether you've been injured on commercial or private property, the injury may be minor with scrapes and bruises from a slip and fall, or severe like burns from a fire. Often time victims suffer permanent damages and lost of income because they are unable to work.
A Houston Personal Injury Lawyer That Delivers Results!
To speak with an attorney about your personal injury,
call our 24-hour hotline at (888) 405-3393.
Have You Suffered After a Personal Injury?
Serious personal injuries have many different causes. However, some of the most common situations include:
- Car accidents
- Truck wrecks
- Medical malpractice
- Defective medical products
Personal injuries can also be caused by disasters, be they natural or man-made. Schechter, McElwee, Shaffer & Harris is one of the only law firms in the state of Texas to have a proven track record of recovering compensation for the victims of major disasters.
Houston is unique in Texas because it is also home to many victims of maritime workplace accidents. Maritime injury cases require attorneys who are well-versed and experienced with the Jones Act and other laws that protect the rights of maritime workers. Each of our maritime injury lawyers offer over 25 years of experience in helping families just like yours.
Need a Houston Personal Injury Lawyer?
The State of Texas affords certain rights to the victims of serious personal injuries, as well as to the families of these victims. Among these rights is the ability to pursue monetary compensation from the person or company that was responsible for the injuries.
Personal injury cases suffer from the reputation of being greedy cash grabs. However, anyone who's suffered a serious injury will tell you that the expenses don't just stop with hospital bills; in fact, victims often have to find ways to pay for physical therapy and psychological counseling. Savings and insurance will not cover all of these expenses. Even further, it's unlikely that the victim will be able to work for some months (or even years) after their injuries.
Personal injury lawsuits are not about greed; they're about getting what you and your family need in order to put your life back together.
Our Attorneys Have Over 100 Years of Experience
A lot of personal injury lawyers talk about their "experience" in the practice of law, whether it's five, ten, or twenty years. At Schechter, McElwee, Shaffer & Harris, our attorneys are proud to offer you over 100 years of combined legal experience. Few other Houston personal injury law firms can offer you such deep legal knowledge and experience.
In addition to a century of experience, our attorneys have a proven track record, with over $620 million in recoveries for their clients. We have represented thousands of clients in all kinds of cases, from minor car accidents to major disasters.
We want to put this experience, knowledge, and expertise to work for you. For a free, confidential consultation about your case, call our office today at Click to Call 713-364-0723.
We Are Here To Help You
We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To speak with a legal team that can help you immediately, call our office at Click to Call 713-364-0723. In many cases, you will pay no legal fees unless we first make a recovery of compensation for you.

In an event at The Sheldon Art Galleries, the local Critical Mass for the Visual Arts organization named the recipients of its 2015 Creative Stimulus Awards. The money helps pay for the cost of ongoing work as well as funding new projects. The 2015 winners are: Guitarist Who Inspired The Beatles, Beach Boys, Hendrix Returns To St. Louis By Erica Smith • Jan 23, 2015 Courtesy of Angel Romero Even if you haven't heard classical guitarist Angel Romero play, you've heard his influence. "My guitar goes back so long," he told "Cityscape" host Steve Potter. "They interviewed George Harrison of The Beatles. They asked him 'How did you start playing the guitar?' He said 'From picking at Angel Romero's records.' Jimi Hendrix and all that, they told me that every single night he would put on my recordings before going to bed. My music has crossed over to them as much as theirs has crossed over to me." Vocalist Denise Thimes Shares Her Gifts With St. Louis And Aretha Franklin By Mary Edwards • May 9, 2014 courtesy photo When a friend asked St. Louis vocalist Denise Thimes to come to Detroit to sing for her father's 75th birthday party, she didn't tell her until she got there that one of the guests was Aretha Franklin. "I was shaking in my boots, to say the least," Thimes told Cityscape host Steve Potter, but she pulled herself together and sang for the diva and the others in the audience. "She wanted to hear "The Way We Were" and I really tried to sing it to the best of my ability. And she was very pleased with that." Photo Contest Winners Cast New Light On Arch, City Museum, Other STL Institutions By Nancy Fowler • Apr 28, 2014 Photos provided by the Sheldon Art Galleries The St. Louis area is crawling with photographic opportunities. Local professional Ryan Archer took advantage of one of them to win Best in Show in the Sheldon's "The City at 250" photo contest. Archer's "City Museum Climbers," entered in the "Events and People" category, garnered him $1,000 and a place in "The City at 250" exhibit, opening June 6. The competition was a collaborative effort of The Sheldon and the St. Louis Beacon, now St. Louis Public Radio. The Beacon merged in December with St. Louis Public Radio and is no longer a separate entity. Indie/Pop Band Bella & Lily To Perform Benefit For Safe Connections By Camille Phillips • Apr 4, 2014 In a way, indie/pop duo Bella & Lily has been together a long time. That is if you can measure lifetimes spanning in the teen years as long. Bella (19) and Lily (15) are sisters, after all. But the musical entity Bella & Lily was born less than two years ago, when the Ibur sisters made their debut on the St. Louis music scene. After winning a battle of the bands to earn a spot on the Loufest stage, Bella and Lily decided to focus on their musical career. Art Events On The Table, Some Literally, In STL This Weekend By Nancy Fowler • Feb 6, 2014 Duet Gallery A table can connect families, foster discussion or encourage a game of cards. This weekend, a table in Grand Center also provides a canvas for artistic and cultural expression. "Table" opened Thursday night at the new Duet art space, 3526 Washington Ave., with an evening of drinks and folk music. Friday night at 7, the custom wood design by Martin Goebel becomes the stage for a new media performance. The Sheldon Calls For Creativity In St. Louis' 250th Birthday Photo Contest By Nancy Fowler • Jan 5, 2014 Scott Rackers The Sheldon Art Galleries in Grand Center is asking for photographs documenting St. Louis, as the city celebrates 250 years. The Arch, Busch Stadium and the World's Fair Pavilion in Forest Park are among the usual suspects when it comes to picturing St. Louis. But the same-old, same-old won't cut it in a photography contest focused on the city at 250. Bobby McFerrin Calls Himself A 'Songcatcher' By Mary Edwards, Alex Heuer & Don Marsh • Apr 16, 2013 Bobby McFerrin is a multi-faceted vocalist. A 10-time Grammy winner, he has blurred the lines between pop music and fine art and has inspired a generation of a cappella singers. He is best known for his hit, Don't Worry, Be Happy, which explores the limits of the human voice. But while he is certainly pleased with the song's success, he does not want to be defined by it. Ricky Skaggs: Entertaining Audiences For More Than 50 Years By Mary Edwards & Alex Heuer • Feb 22, 2013 Ricky Skaggs got an early start in music. At the age of 5, we woke up one morning to find that his parents had left a pint sized mandolin in his bed. A year later, he played a show with Bill Monroe, the father of bluegrass and appearances with Earl Scruggs and the Stanley Brothers followed. Before the age of 10, Scruggs was fortunate enough to have performed with three of his heroes. "When you learn music from masters like that at such an early age, that I did, those people stay with you," Skaggs told St. Louis Public Radio's Jim Althoff. The Sheldon's 100th Anniversary Celebration By Alex Heuer & Mary Edwards • Oct 5, 2012 The Sheldon The Sheldon bills itself as the perfect place for music and art and the Sheldon Concert Hall has been called "The Carnegie Hall of the Midwest." This year marks the 100th anniversary of The Sheldon which was named after Walter Sheldon, who founded the St. Louis branch of the Ethical Society. The building was designed by Louis C. Spiering, the architect of the 1904 World's Fair. St. Louis Symphony 2012-2013 Season By Alex Heuer & Mary Edwards • Sep 21, 2012 (photo by: Dan Dreyfus) Host Steve Potter talks with St. Louis Symphony Music Director David Robertson about the orchestra's recently completed European Tour and its 2012-2013 season. Then, St. Louis Public Radio's Mike Schrand speaks with singer-songwriter Nick Lowe. Lowe is currently on a solo acoustic tour and performs at The Sheldon Concert Hall on Wednesday, September 26th. Later in the show, Steve Potter talks with Rod Milam, creator and producer of the University City Musician Documentary Project.

Fans recall what Paul McCartney — and the Beatles — meant to them
On June 18, 1942, a boy named James Paul McCartney was born in Liverpool, England. He'd grow up and meet other chaps — John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr — and together as the Beatles, they'd impact the lives of countless millions around the world, and of people living in Milwaukee, during the '60s and the decades that followed.
McCartney has been active ever since, in Wings, as a solo artist and on the road. On Tuesday, McCartney will take the stage at a sold-out Miller Park for his first Milwaukee concert since 2005, to perform in front of about 40,000 spectators. »Read Full Article(2)

Citing the "serious nature of his conduct," a Philadelphia judge on Monday denied a request by lawyers for Msgr. William J. Lynn to free the 61-year-old former archdiocesan official on bail while he appeals his child-endangerment conviction.
Common Pleas Court Judge M. Teresa Sarmina rejected the motion by defense lawyers Jeffrey M. Lindy and Alan J. Tauber after an often acrimonious 15-minute hearing.
On July 24, Sarmina sentenced Lynn to three to six years in prison after a jury found him guilty of child endangerment in the landmark Catholic clergy sex-abuse trial.
Lynn was not at the hearing. He had waived his right to be present and is at the state prison at Camp Hill near Harrisburg.

8:20 Mishandling of Therapeutic Protein Products by End Users: Particle Formation and Potential Roles in Adverse Immunogenicity
John F. Carpenter, Ph.D., Professor, Pharmaceutical Sciences; Co-Director, Center for Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center
Subvisible particles can cause adverse immunogenicity, resulting in loss of efficacy of therapeutic proteins in patients. Companies work diligently to control particle levels in products. However, patients can receive high levels of particles due to product mishandling by end users. Mishandling includes exposure of prefilled syringes to temperature extremes, transport of IV bags through pneumatic tube systems in hospitals and repackaging of vialed Avastin into syringes for off-label intraocular use.
9:00 Towards Particle and Silicon-Free Protein Drug Products
Gerhard Winter, Ph.D., Professor, Chair, Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmaceutics, LMU Munchen
A more wide-spread bedside filtration and the use of silicon oil free polymer syringes could reduce the amount of particles and silicon oil droplets eventually injected into patients with protein drug products. A critical view on the performance and on open questions associated with the use of the two measures is presented. The quality of filters and the resolution of the oxygen permeability of plastic material are studied in detail.
9:30 Understanding and Overcoming Tradeoffs between Antibody Affinity, Specificity and Stability
There are many challenges associated with the discovery and development of potent and stable antibody therapeutics. Our lab is addressing some of these challenges, including the design and evolution of antibodies with high affinity, specificity, stability and solubility. We will discuss our findings related to common tradeoffs between these antibody properties as well as directed evolution methods for overcoming these tradeoffs.

11:00 Applications of Fluorescence-Detected Analytical Ultracentrifugation (AU-FDS) to High-Concentration Antibody Interactions
Thomas Laue, Ph.D., Professor, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Director, Biomolecular Interaction Technologies Center (BITC), University of New Hampshire
AU-FDS may be used to characterize the size distributions of antibody complexes. Results will be shown for several systems such as participation of a "foreign" antibody in the self-association complexes of mAb, weak interaction of poly-IgG with mAbs, presence of non-reactive antigen in a poly-IgG binding assay, existence of species cross-reaction in a poly-IgG prep and characterization of Ab:Ag lattice formation 'overshoot' kinetics. Also, it can be used to study that the size distribution of Ab:Ag complexes differ in buffer and serum and how AU-FDS uniquely detects large complexes in patient serum.

2:05 Control of Protein Aggregation by Unconventional Formulation Parameters
A number of formulation parameters, such as pH, ionic strength or surfactant, are traditionally optimized to minimize protein aggregation. The talk will show how unconventional parameters of formulation excipients can be exploited to control aggregation and enable products to be used outside the cold chain. This will be demonstrated on several data driven case studies using relevant therapeutic proteins, describing the specific formulation features employed to achieve superior stability.
2:35 Optimizing Protein Stability through Integration of Cutting-Edge Analytical Tools with Rational, Molecule-Specific Approach to Process and Formulation Development
Danny K. Chou, Pharm.D., Ph.D., President and Founder, Compassion BioSolution; Former Senior Research Scientist, Biologics Development, Gilead Sciences
We are at the dawn of a new era with the emergence of new analytical tools that can enable both prediction and real-time monitoring of protein stability. The author will use real case studies to illustrate how to properly combine some of these new tools with tried and true strategies that incorporate the key factors/forces that impact physical stability (with focus on protein aggregation) of proteins in solution. Emphasis will be placed on high throughput, low sample volume strategies that are useful for industrial application.

4:15 Impact of Interfacial Interactions on the Formation of Particles, Aggregation of Proteins, and Their Prevention: Role of Surface Energetics and Their Application to Container Compatibility and Protein Purification
Jinjiang Li, Ph.D., Senior Principal Scientist, Drug Product Science & Technology, Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.
This talk will discuss the effect of surface energetics on protein adsorption, formation of aggregates, and particle formation, with/without surfactants. Common surfaces encountered in protein purification and storage will be used as examples. Surface energetics were characterized through measuring contact angles. Adsorption of proteins like lyozyme was measured using QCM-D. Particles formed were determined using MFI. For all cases, the protection role of PS 80 and Poloxamer was examined.

8:35 Application of in silico Predictions to the Mitigation of Biotherapeutic Aggregation
Russ Lehrman, Ph.D., President/Founder, R&D Consultation, BioSuperior Technology
Aggregation of biotherapeutic candidates affects drug safety, efficacy, and manufacturability. This degradation pathway occurs largely due to the presence of aggregation prone regions (APRs). Computer tools that identify APRs are available, but since each program is based on different properties, they often detect distinct protein regions. Effective use of these tools depends on an understanding of protein structure and aggregation mechanisms. Case studies that help demonstrate how to effectively use these programs for the identification of APRs will be presented.
9:05 A Rapid Real-Time Biosensor to Detect Preaggregates and Screen Formulations of Therapeutic Proteins
Subhashchandra Naik, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, University of Delaware
A biosensor for monitoring the structural integrity and physical stability of therapeutic proteins was developed by combining a bacterial protein GroEL with real-time biolayer interferometry. This biosensor detects structurally altered pre-aggregates within a minute in real-time, is sample sparing and is non-destructive. The data was supported and validated by orthogonal biophysical techniques. The biosensor can also be used to screen for formulations/excipients that stabilize proteins and suppress aggregate formation.
9:35 Integrating Novel Tools into Development Workflow of Biologics: nanoDSF and MST for Discovery, Development and QC
Alexey Rak, Ph.D., Director, Bio Structure & Biophysics, Sanofi R&D
Biophysical approaches are routinely used to assess biologics activities, stability and quality. Modern drug discovery operations require characterization of biomolecular interactions to be both time- and cost-effective as well as to be highly precise and reproducible. Here we report applications of two novel methods, nano-Differential Scanning Fluorimetry (nanoDSF) and MicroScale Thermophoresis (MST), that we are applying in our biologics discovery and characterization operations. The examples of the demonstrated effectiveness of the nanoDSF and MST will be presented and discussed.
10:05 Coffee Break with a Poster Pavilion
11:00 Advancements and Comparability Assessments of Amgen Automated Visual Inspection System for Therapeutic Molecules
David Le, MSc, Scientist, Drug Product Technologies, Amgen
Amgen has developed a robotic system that fully automates visual inspections of liquid formulations. The system provides versatility in handling several container configurations that includes glass and plastic pre-filled syringes and vials. The instrument utilizes high resolution imaging photo optics and proprietary algorithms to capture and quantify the levels of both visible and sub-visible particles. Results for precision, linearity, and comparability to manual inspections will be discussed.
11:30 Detection and Mitigation of Antibody Aggregation in Intravenous Infusion Solutions
Yin Lai, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, Formulation Development, Eli Lilly and Company
Administration of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies through intravenous route involves dilution of drug product using intravenous infusion solutions such as saline or 5% dextrose. As a result, the original drug product is diluted, which will potentially change physical and chemical stability of the API. This presentation will discuss structural characterization, protein-protein interaction, concentration dependent aggregation, and methods to monitor time-dependent self-association in intravenous infusion solutions containing therapeutic antibodies.

Hey, I'm Scott Iardella.
I'm a strength coach, movement teacher, podcaster, and author of the NEW book, The Edge of Strength.
I'm quite fortunate to have a unique background as a former physical therapist and competitive bodybuilder turned strength athlete – which has provided different insights to bridge gaps in health, fitness, and performance.
When people ask what I do, it's pretty simple.
I help people discover the best version of themselves through a foundation of strength.
I help today's serious fitness enthusiast or athlete maximize their potential and get powerful health, fitness, or performance-related results.
It doesn't matter whether beginner or advanced – I help people resolve problems and challenges once and for all.
I'll be totally honest – my stuff is not MAINSTREAM.
If you're fed up with the mainstream approach, you're definitely in right spot.
I focus on a few specific areas.
And I don't just talk or write about these methods – I LIVE THEM.
These methods and areas of human performance include:
Basically, I'm a kettlebell enthusiast, powerlifter, and Olympic weightlifter – this is really where I focus.
These areas are my passions because they're all movement and performance based.
They're similar, but yet so different.
And, if you think any of these are are out of your scope – I'd challenge you to "suspend your disbelief"about what you can do.
I combine my passions and 30+ years of experience with my background as a physical therapist, strength coach, and athlete to help people "disrupt the status quo" and get to the next level.
And, WE all need to get the next level.
I'm fortunate to have a deep background which blends my experiences as a clinician, a scientist, and an athlete with over 3 decades of experience.
That's right – over 30 years of being in the trenches myself.
I've worked with a lot of different people from professional athletes to the general population in many roles for many years.
Specifically, my current credentials and background include:
This combination is quite uncommon, as you might guess, but it means I bring a lot to the table.
I get maximum results while keeping things simple.
When I'm not training, I'm usually attending workshops, seminars or lectures to always get better and improve myself.
I've been fortunate and honored to personally work with and learn from so many top coaches and awesome people such as:
Why should you care about any of this?
Because the better I get – the better you get!
I not a "hacker" sitting behind a keyboard.
Nope, I actually do everything I write about here – all the lifts, techniques, and methods.
In other words, I practice what I preach.
What is STRENGTH?
Glad you asked.
Strength gives us the ability to be more, to do more, and to have more.
It literally makes everything else better in our lives.
It's true.
Strength is the KEY to the 3 major goals we all have, which are:
1-To Perform Better
2-To Feel Better
3-To Look Better
And, you'll learn WHY it's so important for all of us in my NEW book – The Edge of Strength, which I'm totally excited about.
THE EDGE OF STRENGTH is NOW AVAILABLE in AMAZON – CLICK HERE.
Anyway, I'm glad you found this site.
I hope you join me in the journey together.
