White House outlines 2014 drug control policy
ROANOKE, Va. -- Closely mirroring its past positions, the Obama administration's 2014 drug policy will focus tightly on curbing heroin use and prescription painkillers abuse while continuing to oppose the legalization of marijuana for medical and recreational use.
Officials are particularly concerned about preventing fatal overdoses, said Michael Botticelli, acting director of the White House's Office of National Drug Control Policy. He outlined the administration's blueprint at a news conference Wednesday at a drug treatment facility in Roanoke.
He acknowledged that the strategy does not substantially differ from past drug policy positions but said the White House is now focused "in-depth" on the problem associated with the abuse of opioids, which include heroin and painkillers.
"With the reports of increasing heroin use in many American communities, including right here in Virginia, we are growing increasingly concerned by the potential transition from prescription opioid abuse to heroin and injected drug use," he said.
In March, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder called the increase in heroin-related deaths an urgent health crisis and said first responders should carry Narcan, an overdose reversal drug.
Gail Burress, director of adult clinical services at Roanoke's Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare, where Wednesday's news conference was held, said there's been a "tremendous escalation" of heroin use in town, including among teenagers.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Mayfair Paris
Great Service and Location
I was a little worried about some of the negative reviews that i read on this site before i stayed here, but i am happy to report that we had a wonderful experience at the Mayfair hotel. First, the location: very quiet location with a metro stop near by. There are 4 linees that use this stop - it was very easy to get around town and felt very safe. It is pretty close to everything - being very centrally located. Second, the service: A note about the French - I found that if you try to speak a little French (I don't know any outside of the greetings) the people are very very friendly. I found this to be true everywhere. I found no anti-american attitudes or racism ( i was surprised - this was noted in the Let's Go - Paris). The desk staff was very helpful. They made restaurant reservations for us and greeted us warmly when came and left. The continental breakfast was ok. The waiter there was very nice and attentive. Third, the room: Fairly good size by european standards with all the usual amenities. The bathroom was particularly large and recently redone. The bed was comfy enough. All in all, I would definitely stay at the Mayfair again and I recommend it without reservation.
Great location
We stayed at he Mayfair in February 2003. We were very pleased with the accommodations. The room was average in size (not too small) and clean.
The staff was helpful and courteous. However, I was also stuck with the internet charge after inadvertantly messing with the system. I did not argue it and figured lesson learned. The hotel is in an excellent location for sight seeing.
Watch your bill and credit card!
Only after a long battle, did the management of this hotel finally agree to remove some charges from our bill which we had not incurred.
Breakfast charges had been increased in the form of dishes we did not order and mystery drinks appeared on our room bill. The staff and management were hostile as well. If you plan on using this hotel, pay in cash and check your credit card statement closely.
A real gem
I stayed 6 nights at the Mayfair Hotel in Sept. 2003 and had a wonderful time. This was my first trip to Paris. I found the location to be ideal for reaching any Paris destination. The room was spacious, clean and attractive, the hotel staff very courteous and helpful, and the breakfast delicious. I was thoroughly happy with this choice.
First class accommodation!
We stayed at the Mayfair Hotel last week, for 6 nights. This is THE best location if you are going to Paris to see the sights. The metro is just around the corner. The shops from the souvenir items to the most expensive by Place Vendome are steps away. The hotel is very quaint. We stayed in Room 28. Separate bedroom from the bathroom. Has full tub. Great to soak in after miles of seeing Paris! by foot! The staff speaks English. Our favorite is Joaquim - he served us breakfast daily and very congenial to everyone! We noticed the guests to be on the uppity side, being it in the 1st arrondisement. They were mostly business people. We noticed people from Spain, Italy, France, and of course the U.S. We were the younger guests (i think!) and we are in our late 30's. The continental breakfast which came with our hotel/trip from go-today was just perfect! fresh squeezed orange juice, chocolait croissant, baguette!! I will definitely come back to stay at this hotel again! loved it- loved it- loved it!!!!!!!!... Oh by the way, the room that we had, had chandeliers and humongous windows with classic draperies!..... The posted room rate on the hotel room is 330 Euros.
Excellent Hotel
I stayed at the Mayfair for 6 nights in April 2003 and could not have been more satisfied with the hotel. The room was a good size with adequate "counter" space and shelves in the closets. The bathroom was large and everything was spotlessly clean. I am amazed at the two poor reports on this site regarding security and staff. The staff were extremely pleasant, polite, friendly and helpful. Security was never an issue (and I and my mother were traveling alone) since the glass doors were locked in the evening and not opened until the receptionist recognized that you were a guest (they have amazing memories). Later in the evening, the outside door was locked (guests gained entrance by ringing the bell and a video camera revealed our faces to the receptionist. I never felt in danger or at risk in the hotel, near the hotel or anywhere in Paris for that matter. Stay at the Mayfair - the location and staff are out excellent.
Great Place to Stay
We stayed at the Mayfair Hotel from April 22-28, 2003. The room was large and beautifully decorated, the marble bathroom was clean and modern, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We tried to speak French and they appreciated that, but as soon as my terrible command of the language failed, they jumped in in English. The room service bill was much less than I thought it would be. We took 5 large bottles of water from the minibar and made 4 phonecalls and it only came to 20 Euros. Not bad. The location of this hotel across from the Tuilleries gardens, a block from the Lourve, and walking distance from most museums and the Eiffel Tower was great. The security was good as well. There were always at least 2 people at the front desk watching everyone who came in and out. My experience in traveling has been that if you are pleasant and reasonable, people are friendly. If you are rude and demanding, you end up with a horror story. And in France, the customer is not always right. If you are rude, you are treated rudely back. Frankly, this makes more sense to me. I can highly recommend this hotel because it was a great place to stay.
Terrible Service
The staff at the hotel was incredibly rude to us, especially after we asked if the hotel had any security. We were especially concerned after another guest was attacked in the lobby by a cab driver. They said we didn't need to worry because if anything happened, the security guard from the hotel across the street would help. This didn't make sense to us. The folks at the reception practically threw our keys at us! We would definitely never return.
Horror Story
After three nights in this hotel, we found ourselves in the French National Tourism Board offices, filing a three-page complaint/report. It is still on file and is being investigated, according to the board representatives. The report outlines false charges placed on our bill, including an internet charge of 20 Euros when we were not able to connect. The hotel even managed to produce a piece of paper "confirming" our time on the internet. We were not asked to sign for our drinks and several rounds had been added when the bill came. They did agree to reverse the charge of an omelette we did not order but stood firm on the additional 40 Euros that were attached to fictional charges. An American client was assaulted twice in the lobby by a taxi driver in January, 2002 as there is no security.
Location, Location, Location
Excellent hotel in the heart of Paris' tourist and shopping districts. Located just across the street from the Tuileries and a short stroll to the Louvre and Place de la Concorde, this was an excellent base to explore the city.
Our room was small but comfortable and spotlessly clean, and the bathroom was well above the standard I have become accustomed to at European hotels. Our stay included continental breakfast in the dining room (look into it when booking), which was consistently excellent. The breakfast room was elegant and the waitstaff immensely courteous -- a wonderful way to begin each day on our trip.
There were some fancier hotels in our area, but I think that the Mayfair provides exceptional value considering the location and quality of the hotel and room -- and it has received the four-star rating.
Overall, a great hotel choice, and I highly recommend it to other travelers.

The Leaders We Really Have to Look Out For
"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

The patient says he has been suffering from more asthma attacks, so a natural question is: Has he been faithfully taking his daily medicine?
In another era, physicians would have to rely solely on the patient or the parent for that kind of information. Increasingly, these days they also can see on a computer screen if the pharmacy has provided a refill.
That is the promise behind electronic medical records, which are becoming the norm in hospitals nationwide at the urging of the federal government. Critics warn that these systems can drive up costs and deprive doctors of time that would be better spent listening to patients, among other drawbacks. But in the best of worlds the idea is to bring about a coordinated, efficient approach among the many professionals whose job it is to make sick patients healthy.

Producer returns for post-Oscars affair
For the 21st consecutive year, Cheryl Cecchetto has been tapped to produce the Governors Ball. Cecchetto is working with her Sequoia Prods. team and Governors Ball chairman Jeffrey Kurland to produce the annual event, which follows the Academy Awards in the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood and Highland on March 7.
Also returning is Wolfgang Puck, who is creating the ball's menu for 1,500 guests with chefs Lee Hefter and Matt Bencivenga. Oscar-themed dishes will include smoked salmon, crackers and chocolate desserts all shaped like the statuette, with an entree of chicken pot pie with truffles.
This will be the first year Kurland, an Oscar-nominated costume designer and Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences governor, will act as chairman. He is overseeing the decor, menu and entertainment, as well as designing attire for the evening's performers.
For the first time, winners will be able to have their statuettes personalized with an engraved nameplate at the ball. This used to occur in the weeks following the kudofest. The Acad will prepare 197 nameplates, one for each of the 2009 noms, with the unused nameplates recycled.

Almost, but not quite, and then there's all the cannibalism.

2014 Real Estate Year in Review – The Mesa and San Roque Neighborhoods
Two of the most popular and quintessential family neighborhoods in the Santa Barbara area are San Roque and The Mesa. For many buyers, they often find themselves deciding between the 2 as a tough decision on where to buy. Both areas offer wonderful living, have schools with very good reputations and tend to have the majority of their real estate fall in the $850K to $1.5 million price point. The Mesa though has a higher top end market as many... Continue Reading >
Santa Barbara 2014 Real Estate Review – The Riviera Neighborhood Area
The Riviera neighborhood is one of the nicer areas in Santa Barbara with some awe dropping commanding views of our city, coastline, ocean and islands. The entire hillside is "ocean-facing" with many winding colorful streets that give the area a true resemblance to some of the coastal towns you find in France and Italy. On the Riviera, in certain parts, you also find some intricate stone work, terracing and steps built by early 20th century Italian immigrants. Because of the topography,... Continue Reading >

Have tried 4 coats and it still will not scrape artex off. Bought a heavy duty scraper and even scored the walls and still only comes of in little bits and is very hard going. We bought the big container at £100. Any ideas what to do next?… Read Full Review
Written on: 28/02/2007
I thought about buying this stuff but decided against it as it could only be bought on the net. It is a lot of money to fork out if, like what happened to you, it doesn't work. We have a problem with textured walls in our house and have been struggling to remove it little by little with a steamer. The largest part we think we may have to plasterboard. So I too would be very interested to see if anyone else has any ideas!
Written on: 03/04/2007
Hi. I saw you had problem with the X-Tex product. I also had a problem in one of my rooms and found that it was because the artex was painted over many times with emulsions.

I had to remove the paint before I could get to the artex. The same product did remove the paint, but I had to leave it overnight and cover it with plastic film. I then used a long handle blade scraper and it came off okay. I had to repeat this once more without using the film this time to get back to plaster.

I have tried steaming and other solvent products and find this to be the best. Stripping anything off is not the same everytime as I sure found out when three rooms cleaned off really easily and one didn't. But I honestly feel that this product was the best bet by far.

I recently purchased a product called X-Tex to remove my awful artex on the walls of my house. I found this product online and am amazed it is not in the big diy stores. I brushed it on and left it over night. The next day came in and scraped it all off with ease. It says that it keeps the artex wet or damp at all times in case it contains asbestos (pre 1985)… Read Full Review

Thanks for that info, it is something we will be looking into soon. Not sure if this is artex or polyripple but some bright spark put it all over the lounge walls and the hall, stairs and landing in our house! Before we bought it of course. We have only been able to paint over it so there's a few layers of paint to come off with it too! I agree, we have found nothing to remove it in any DIY store. Tried sanding a bit of it once. What a mess! Gave that up! If anyone else reading this knows of a DIY store selling anything like this to remove the horrible stuff, Please let us know?!
Written on: 04/09/2006
Hi Helen. Yes this X-Tex product will remove any type of textured coating. It is not available in any of the big stores and to be honest all other textured coating removers I have come accross have nasties in them. If you type in X-Tex into Goolge you will bring up a few e-retailers that you can buy it from..Good Luck...

New MKE Music: Ishdarr drops video album for 'The Better Life' EP
We told you about Ishdarr before. His flow, style and maturity are already top-notch for his age and this creative video album for his debut project The Better Life adds to his interesting story. Instead of making one video for one song or separate videos for each song, he combined all the songs into one well-produced and highly intriguing piece that showcases the music, himself, Milwaukee and Racine alike.
Each minute-or-so-long portion lands Ishdarr in familiar places spitting his rhymes, whether that be his home, the streets, the barbershop or Horlick Field in Racine. The video spans from sunrise to sunset, giving us a glimpse into his daily life, while also giving us a taste test of the entire project.
His dreams and hustle are on full display, drilling down the "better life" idea even harder, especially with the ending lyric in the video, "Momma, I just wanna rap. I just wanna rap" from the song cleverly titled "Momma." The overall feel and quality of this video is dope coming from a newer MC, so hopefully it just continues in the future. »Read Full Blog Post

New Music: Ishdarr's The Better Life EP and Kenza Dawn's Revibal 2 Mixtape
Ishdarr - The Better Life EP
While very new to the Milwaukee hip hop scene, 17-year-old MC Ishdarr has been making big waves already. He opened for Schoolboy Q at the Rave last Thursday and on Friday had the release party for his new EP The Better Life. He popped on my radar with his soulful first single "They Lost Me" and this six song EP shows the talent this young man already has.
Ranging from topics such as family, relationships and his dreams, Ishdarr truly takes you on a ride showing his life and what he wants to become. It doesn't hurt that all the beats are fire and that his flow is so sharp. I could say a lot more, but really just hit play. For real. My only crituque is that he didn't add his other single "Ready" to the project which is just as fire. Check out his interview from last week's Those Hip Hop Guys Radio show where he goes into more detail about himself and this project. And he said his parents grew up listening to ATCQ and De La Soul. His parents yall. We are all old. Interview starts at the 60 minute mark. »Read Full Blog Post
New Music: James Blake featuring Chance The Rapper - "Life Round Here" Remix
If you aren't a fan of James Blake, become one now. If you aren't a fan of Chance The Rapper, become one now. Blake's critically acclaimed album Overgrown kind of was a big deal earlier this year. Mainly, at least for myself, because of the song "Life Round Here". Now, the remix is out with my favorite newer MC Chance the Rapper an yes. Yes. Just hit play.
Bonus trivia: Big K.R.I.T. sampled Blake's "Wilhelm Scream" for his song "R.E.M." on his mixtape King Remmebered In Time. You need to listen to that too.
New MKE Music Video: AUTOMatic - Lower Heaven
Homegrown MC and producer duo, AUTOMatic return with a new video from their latest album Art Imitates Life.

Stay tuned for more new music from AUTOMatic as they plan to release Art Imitates Life Vol. 2 in June.

New Album: Nas Life Is Good Review
As a huge Nas fan, I was extremely hype when I heard rumors about a new album last year - his tenth studio release and the first since 2008. When he dropped the breakbeat-backed initial single "Nasty" last summer, the entire hip hop community seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at getting official confirmation that one their favorite rappers of the last two decades still had it…really had it. I played that song on the radio and out at gigs every chance I could for months.
Then the world, or at least my world, stopped when "The Don," produced by Heavy D and Salaam Remi, was released a few months ago. It showed Nas could be relevant over new sounds - 808 type beats - and it was just dope, plain and simple. The anticipation was a little out of control at this point.
New Music: Klassik, Speakeasy, Nas, Fresh Cut Collective and Joey Bada$$
Klassik is slowly becoming one of my favorite producers and performers because of tracks like this. "That Life" is that smooth bounce track where Klassik is even smoother on the rhymes about living the good life. Next time he's performing, make sure you check him out. »Read Full Blog Post
New Video: Phonte - The Life Of Kings ft Big K.R.I.T. and Evidence (played by Phonte's Mom)
Phonte, Big K.R.I.T. and Evidence are in my current top 10 favorite MCs list and all of them on one track is outta control. When I heard this track on Phonte's album Charity Starts At Home, I flipped. But that was last year. Right now they just released the video and I guess Evidence couldn't make it so who better to perform his part than Phonte's mom. And yeah, she kills it.
New Music: Streetz -N- Young Deuces - High Off Life
Streetz -n- Young Deuces are back at it again. They have a new mixtape called "Next Day Air" that is set to drop March 20th. Joining them on the mixtape is Gerald Walker, Micky Factz, and Mysonne. Yeah, I just said Micky Factz. That's dope.
They just leaked the first single called High Off Life produced by Thomas Wynn. Too bad it's not summer time because I wanna roll the windows down, hit the freeway and bump this. Either way, take a listen and stay tuned to the blog on March 20th when the mixtape drops. »Read Full Blog Post

BreakBread release video for The Life (We're Back)
We told you about Breakbread last week, which is the collab between MC Dana Coppa and MC/producer Da Ricanstrukta. They put out a track called The Life with some guy named Marcus (no further details). Now they have a video. Get it?
As they run the city, check out the Milwaukee visuals and the smooth lyrics as they flow over the chill beat procuded by Ricanstrukta. Yeah, they stole that hook from Drake. Yep.
Dana Coppa and Da Ricanstrukta aka Break Bread release "The Life"
So, if Frankie Flowers is the dude at all the shows, SPEAK Easy is the dude performing at all the shows, Dana Coppa has to be the dude always releasing music. I don't know how he does it but it happens.
Either way, Dana Coppa teamed up with Da Ricanstruckta and now are Break Bread. Both are lyricist, but Ricanstruckta produces as well. The joint is called The Life (We're Back) and the album The Reunion will be out this winter.
It's free. Check it, download it, play it. »Read Full Blog Post

Interest, stimulus, and challenge derive from a visit to those in another country engaged in like tasks to your own, and there is much to be learned. As a Scottish pediatrician from a teaching hospital I recently paid a three months' visit to the United States of America. Ten academic centers involving 21 different hospitals were visited, mostly on the East Coast but also in Central and Western America, the time spent in each center ranging from two weeks to one day. A visit of this nature results in such a flow of information, experiences, comparisons, and questions as to make current analysis difficult and perspective hard to judge. However, having set down at the end of each day the experiences, thoughts, and information of the day there can now, after return, be a more considered appraisal.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on October 14, 2012.
This project's funding goal was not reached on October 14, 2012.
Salsitas Mendoza started August of 2011. My husband and I were falling on hard times and struggling to come out on top. In the summer of 2011 I entered a carnival with 3 salsa varieties. My only goal at the time was a new washing machine, and soccer fees for our children. This venture was so unexpectadly successful we entered another. As our popularity grew so did the venues and salsa line. We of course have one vexing problem which is: How we could possibly keep this up under our cottage license in a kitchen too small for even regular family use? As if fate were on our side, a building came up for rent within walking distance of our house. This building left much to the imagination however, as it was in very bad shape. All I could see was the begining of our future,Close to the kids and home. Sergio and I have never turned away from a challenge no matter how crazy and we certainly would not start now. After months of hard work and sacrifice, our commercial kitchen is about 90% complete. What we need now is a class 1 commercial hood to finish our project and begin what we are sure will be a very successful future for our family. Our salsa line is already in 6 stores, 11 farmers markets and 1 restaurant. The demand is only growing. once we have the hood installed we can begin to sell our line on a much larger scale. Create a few more jobs for our community, and supply other young entrepreneurs a commercial grade kitchen to explore their potential as well.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

Most people around the world support an international order based on international law and treaties. Majorities in most countries believe that international laws create normative obligations like domestic law, and believe that nations should feel obliged to abide by international law even when doing so is at odds with their national interest. However, people tend to underestimate how much their fellow citizens feel such an obligation. Europeans and Americans express readiness to contribute military force to uphold international law. Limited international data reveal strong support for participation in a variety of international treaties. Download full chapter (PDF).
International polling reveals a strong consensus that world order should be based on a multilateral system led by the United Nations or a group of regional powers, rather than a system based on hegemony or bipolarity. Large majorities in countries around the world reject a hegemonic role for the United States, but do want the United States to participate in multilateral efforts to address international issues. Download full chapter (PDF).
Large majorities around the world have endorsed having a stronger United Nations. Large majorities also support giving the UN a variety of expanded powers, including having a standing peacekeeping force, the power to investigate human rights violations, and the power to regulate the international arms trade. National publics are more divided when it comes to giving the United Nations the capacity to impose a tax. Support for working through the United Nations is somewhat tempered, especially among smaller countries, when poll questions highlight the prospect of subordinating national policies to collective decision-making processes. Download full chapter (PDF).
In international polling, large majorities around the world favor the United Nations having the right to authorize the use of military force for a wide range of contingencies. The approval of the UN Security Council plays a powerful—and in many cases a necessary—role in conferring legitimacy on the use of military force. Among Europeans and Americans, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) does provide some legitimacy, but by much smaller margins than does the United Nations. Download full chapter (PDF).
Robust majorities approve of the United Nations intervening in the internal affairs of states to investigate human rights abuses and to promote human rights in member states. Perhaps most dramatic, equally large majorities approve of the United Nations using military force to forcibly deliver urgent humanitarian aid if the government tries to block the aid, and to protect people from severe human rights abuses even against the will of the government.

Publics in most nations say that when there are concerns about the fairness of elections, countries should be willing to have UN observers monitor the elections. Most countries polled, including developed democracies, say that their own country would benefit from such monitoring. Download full chapter (PDF).
Asked whether the United Nations, national governments, or regional organizations should take the lead in dealing with various issues, responses vary according to the issue. The most common view is that the United Nations should take the leading role in addressing aid for economic development, dealing with refugees, and international peacekeeping. The most common view is that national governments should take the leading role on protection of the environment. Views are more mixed on human rights, but most say either the United Nations or a regional organization should take the lead. Download full chapter (PDF).
Large majorities in publics around the world perceive themselves as citizens of the world as well as of their nation, but in all nations national identity is still stronger than global identity. Download full chapter (PDF).
Large majorities of Europeans and Americans alike believe that they have enough common values for transatlantic cooperation on international problems and that it is critical for their own nation to act together with its closest allies on national security issues. Europeans strongly favor cooperation over competition between the European Union and the United States. Internationally, more publics think their government should be more cooperative than it is than think that their government tends to be too ready to compromise. Download full chapter (PDF).

What would you do with 111 acres?
After the devastating winter of 2014/2015, Eastleigh was forced to cease operations as a dairy farm and has evolved into a Farm Sanctuary. We are looking to expand our sanctuary operations; and are searching for philanthropic individual or organization to assist us in this endeavor. However, until we find this individual or entity we are in need of funds to continue our work and for the daily operations at Eastleigh.
We need your help. Why should it be important to you? Because saving Eastleigh Farm means:
More than saving the cows, horses and dogs from uncertain lives,
More than preserving open space so people can enjoy the beauty of nature,
More than teaching our youth the values that farming teaches.
Saving Eastleigh Farm is about preserving an entire value system that includes all of the above and more.
A rare and unique opportunity to purchase the development rights of one of the last Farms with over 100 acres of open land only 20 miles West of Boston. This property is located just off of the Massachusetts Turnpike situated in the northwest corner of Framingham, Massachusetts. This acreage has various development options. The Transfer Development Rights option (in which a buyer can purchase the development rights from the farm; hold them, sell them or use them on a specified commercial zoned property in Framingham which has exceeded the limit for expansion beyond the scope of the current zoning bylaws). You will find rolling hills, beautiful pastures, multiple barns an abundant green space. This incredible land has been preserved for hundreds of years. It has functioned as a dairy farm, bordering the town of Southborough and less than on mile from Sudbury. A true once in a lifetime opportunity.

My classes will be using a "flipped-classroom" approach, where students watch lectures online, using MyMathLab, before class time and then we work on problems during class. After each class, students will do homework problems (online again, via MyMathLab) and then watch the lecture for the next class period. Each student will be required to have a MyMathLab online account, which must be purchased. However, since the textbook is available online via MyMathLab, purchasing a hard-bound textbook is not required, although it is an option.
Course grades are based on tests given during the semester ( 1/3 ), homework grades ( 1/3 ), and the final exam ( 1/3 ).

Fast Forward will pay Ezose Sciences up to $390,000 in support of a collaboration focused on applying the latter's GlycanMap® technology to identify multiple sclerosis biomarkers for disease diagnosis, differentiating subtypes of the disease, and aiding in disease management. Fast Forward is a nonprofit translational medicine arm of the National Multiple Sclerosis Foundation.
The partners aim to incorporate resulting biomarkers into diagnostic tests for improving prognosis, therapeutic decision making, and therapeutic response evaluation. Through the collaboration Ezose will work with Anthony Reder, M.D., professor of neurology at the University of Chicago Medicine.
Ezose was established in 2009 in the U.S. as a subsidiary of Japanese firm Shionogi's diagnostics division. The firm's GlycanMap is a glycan analysis technology platform that combines a bead-based glycan capture technology with automated sample processing, high-throughput MALDI mass spectrometry and full bioinformatics capabilities, to generate high-throughput qualitative and quantitative mapping of glycans from diverse sample types.
The firm is exploiting the platform in combination with expertise in glycan and protein research (including LC, LC/MS, MSn, glycopeptide analysis, protein analysis, immunoassays, and microarray assays), to generate an internal and partnered pipeline of disease biomarkers and therapeutic targets, and also through turnkey or collaborative services and projects to support biologic drug development and manufacture. Ezose has established collaborations with Merck, Sigma-Tau, and Hirosaki University.
