Understanding Autoinflammatory Diseases

March 2016
Autoinflammatory diseases are a relatively new category of diseases that are different from autoimmune diseases. However, autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases share common characteristics in that both groups of disorders result from the immune system attacking the body's own tissues, and they also result in increased inflammation. This overview contains general information on the immune system and provides brief descriptions of some of the more common autoinflammatory diseases.

- Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF)
- Neonatal Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID)
- Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Receptor-Associated Periodic Syndrome (TRAPS)
- Deficiency of the Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist (DIRA)

The Immune System
When your body is attacked—perhaps by a virus or other germs—your immune system defends you. It "sees" and kills the germs that might hurt you.
But when the system doesn't work right, this process can cause harm. Immune cells can mistake your body's own cells as invaders and attack them. This "friendly fire" can affect almost any part of the body. It can sometimes affect many parts of the body at once. This is called "autoimmunity" (meaning "self-immunity").
The part of the immune system that orchestrates all of this develops as a person grows and is known as the acquired immune system. It "remembers" foreign antigens, or proteins, so that it can fight them if they come back. It employs white blood cells called lymphocytes.
But the body also has an innate (inborn) immune system that is more primitive. It employs types of white blood cells called granulocytes and monocytes to destroy harmful substances. In autoinflammatory diseases, this innate immune system causes inflammation for unknown reasons. It reacts, even though it has never encountered autoantibodies or antigens in the body.
Autoinflammatory disorders are characterized by intense episodes of inflammation that result in such symptoms as fever, rash, or joint swelling. These diseases also carry the risk of amyloidosis, a potentially fatal buildup of a blood protein in vital organs.
There are several different types of autoinflammatory diseases.
Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF)
People with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) suffer from recurring bouts of fever, most commonly with severe abdominal pain due to inflammation of the abdominal cavity (peritonitis). Attacks can also include arthritis (painful, swollen joints), chest pain from inflammation of the lung cavity (pleurisy), and skin rashes.
FMF usually begins in childhood and occurs most commonly in people of Jewish, Armenian, Arab, and Turkish backgrounds living in the United States and abroad. As many as 1 in 200 to 1,000 people in these populations have the disease. Mutations in the MEFV gene cause FMF. The gene holds the code for making a protein known as pyrin. The pyrin protein, named from the Greek word for fire, bears a strong resemblance to several proteins found in the nucleus of cells. Some of these proteins are known to regulate inflammation. Usually a person must inherit two mutated copies of the gene—one from each parent—to get FMF. However, recent studies have shown that under some circumstances, one copy is enough to cause disease.
Colchicine—a medication also approved to treat gout (a form of arthritis)—has been used successfully as a treatment for FMF. Colchicine reduces inflammation throughout the body.
Neonatal Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID)
Neonatal onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID), also known as chronic infantile neurologic cutaneous articular (CINCA) syndrome, affects numerous organs and body systems, including the skin, joints, eyes, and central nervous system. For most children, the first sign of the disease is a rash that develops within the first 6 weeks of life. Other problems, including fever, meningitis, joint damage, vision and hearing loss, and mental retardation, can follow.
Although the mechanism of NOMID is not completely understood, research has revealed mutations in a gene called NLRP3 (formerly known as CIAS1) in approximately 60 percent of patients with the disease. A person only needs to have one abnormal copy of the gene to get the disease. NLRP3 encodes cryopyrin and belongs to a group of interacting proteins involved in regulating inflammation and programmed cell death, which plays a crucial role in ridding the body of cells that are no longer needed. The mutations, scientists have found, lead to an imbalance of a cytokine, or chemical messenger, called interleukin-1 (IL-1), which is believed to drive the increased inflammation that causes damage in patients with the disease.
People with NOMID usually respond well to anakinra, a drug that blocks IL-1 action and is also approved for rheumatoid arthritis. Anakinra results in marked improvement both in symptoms and the inflammation underlying the disease.
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Receptor-Associated Periodic Syndrome (TRAPS)
TRAPS (tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome), formerly known as familial Hibernian fever, is characterized by long, dramatic, episodes of high fever; severe pain in the abdomen, chest, or joints; skin rash; and inflammation in or around the eyes. The age of onset varies from early childhood to adulthood, and the disease appears to affect men and women equally. The earliest cases of TRAPS were reported in individuals of Irish-Scottish descent, but the disease has since been found in nearly all ethnic groups.
TRAPS is caused by a mutation of the TNFRSF1A gene. A person only needs one abnormal copy of the gene to get the disease. Episodes can be triggered by infection or stress. Although a definitive treatment for TRAPS has yet to be identified, drugs known as TNF inhibitors are sometimes successful in treating the disease.
Deficiency of the Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist (DIRA)
Deficiency of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist (DIRA) is a recently discovered autoinflammatory disease. Children with the disorder display a constellation of serious and potentially fatal symptoms that include swelling of bone tissue; bone pain and deformity; inflammation of the periosteum (a layer of connective tissue around bone); and a rash that can span from small individual pustules to extensive pustulosis that covers most of the patient's body. Most of the children begin to have symptoms from birth to 2 weeks of age.
Children with DIRA have inherited mutations in IL1RN, a gene that encodes a protein known as IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra). IL-1Ra binds to the same cell receptors as the inflammatory protein IL-1 and blocks its inflammatory actions. Without IL-1Ra, the children's bodies cannot control systemic inflammation that can be caused by IL-1. Although mutations that cause DIRA are rare, as many as 2.5 percent of the population of northwest Puerto Rico are carriers. Since DIRA is recessively inherited, these data suggest that it may be present in about 1 in 6,300 births in this population. Mutations may also be more common in individuals of Dutch descent.
Most patients with DIRA respond well to anakinra, the same drug previously mentioned for NOMID treatment, a synthetic form of human IL-1Ra.
Behçet's Disease
Behçet's disease causes canker sores or ulcers in the mouth and on the genitals and inflammation in parts of the eye. In some people, the disease also results in arthritis, skin problems, and inflammation of the digestive tract, brain, and spinal cord.
Behçet's disease is common in the Middle East, Asia, and Japan; it is rare in the United States. In Middle Eastern and Asian countries, the disorder affects more men than women. In the United States, the opposite is true. Behçet's disease tends to develop in people in their twenties or thirties, but people of all ages can develop it.
The exact cause of Behçet's disease is unknown. Most symptoms of the disorder are caused by inflammation of the blood vessels. Doctors think that an autoinflammatory reaction may cause the blood vessels to become inflamed, but they do not know what triggers this reaction. Corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs are commonly used to treat the disease.
Progress and Promise
Further research should continue to enhance the understanding of the genetics and causes of autoinflammatory disorders and result in improvements in diagnosing and treating these diseases.

We're huge fans of the tricolor striped flags of Belgium, Italy, and France. As bike racing fans, their colors have become as recognizable as our own. De Marchi makes this Belgium Team Replica Short Sleeve Jersey to celebrate the Belgian national team of the late sixties. Their squad in that era was always a force to be considered as logical for the win. Of course Merckx, Van Springel, et al. wore the same black, yellow, and red stripes across their torso that they do now, with the tricolor displayed on a powder blue background.
This modern jersey lacks the itch of yesteryear's version. For this one, De Marchi uses Superfine Merino Wool. It's a taslanized 50% Merino Wool, 50% acrylic knit blend. It has a fine hand like a spun yarn, though it's more consistent and won't pill like a spun yarn. Its luxurious softness will make you know that it's intended to be worn directly against the skin.
De Marchi cuts the Belgium Wool Jersey just like they did forty some odd years ago. They've always been known for their technical jerseys, and this one is no different. It's made to be ridden in. To that end, it's a bit looser than modern synthetic jerseys, but it's cut to follow the body. The collar and sleeve cuffs are a doubled over rib-knit. De Marchi calls it a 'French' collar after Louison Bobet. He was, of course, French, and known to be stylish and exacting with his gear and clothing. He is said to have been the first to request a move to this style of collar from the traditional winged collar and buttons that were used at the time. The hem at the bottom is simply a doubled layer of the knit, with an imperceptible seam. It has an 18cm metal zipper from YKK, the best in the business. In the back you'll find the three traditional patch pockets, and rather than being open at the top they have pearly buttons if you feel the need to secure your stowed articles.
The Belgium Team Replica Short Sleeve Jersey has Red, Yellow, and Black stripes across a Blue background and comes in five sizes from Small to XX-Large. It is handmade in Italy. Please Note: We highly recommend that you wash by hand in cold water with a mild detergent and blot, then air dry flat. This will ensure that your jersey will last for many seasons and that it will remain the proper size.

They Run Very Short and wide
"Read previous review that said they run short. I normally wear a size 7, so I got the shoe in a size 8 and my toes and heel are at the edges of the shoe..Also, my foot tends to run a little wide and the shoe feels a little loose on me...so they run wide as well. Besides the abnormal sizing of the shoe....they are very pretty and comfortable shoes. I bought them in red and gold."

Runs way short
"I like this shoe but it is short. Size up. I wear an 8 1/2 bought a 9 and should have bought a 10. I can imagine that if the sizing was correct, I might have given it 4 stars. The style is cute, the color (green) is bright and the shoe is comfortable. I just don't want my foot so close to the edge."

"Super comfy! These are great with jeans or a below the knee skirt. The calf is sized on the generous side but not baggy, however since it hits at *just* below the knee (or maybe it's my legs?) they make me look a little bowlegged if I wear them with a shorter skirt. They are pretty plain as far as little details go, design wise--hard to see that from the picture. Well made, smooth thick leather."

Bryant Cottage was built in 1856 by Francis E. Bryant (1818-1889), a friend and political ally of Senator Stephen A. Douglas. According to Bryant family tradition, on the evening of July 29, 1858, Douglas and Abraham Lincoln conferred in the parlor of this house to plan the famous Lincoln-Douglas Debates. The picturesque one-story, four-room wood frame cottage has been "restored" and is interpreted as an example of a middle-class life in mid-nineteenth-century Illinois. The furniture on display is of the Renaissance Revival style, appropriate for a small-town family of the mid-nineteenth century. The cottage is accessible to persons with disabilities. The site hosts portions of a variety of locally sponsored events throughout the year.
Built in 1899, the restored depot is the departure point for a weekend afternoon train ride to the Monticello Railway Museum. It also serves as a visitor center for Monticello and Piatt County.
Step into a restored 1860's farmhouse and experience an era when apple butter and ham and beans cooked over open fires; candles were hand-dipped and quilts were hand stitched; dulcimer music filled the air; and fields were worked by man and beast. Located on the 1,350-acre Rock Springs Nature Center site, the Homestead offers living history programs throughout summer.
Once the original reading room of Millikin University's Gorin Library, Birks Museum maintains a montage of memories: Among them, a Belleek mirror made for Queen Victoria; a life mask of Abraham Lincoln circa 1864; and 700 paperweights.
Located in downtown Mount Pulaski, this mural depicts a young Abraham Lincoln in front of the historic Mount Pulaski House.

They are the final words spoken as a civilian before becoming a soldier.
"I've always wanted to do it," said SPC Charley Bailey. "It was something I always wanted to prove. I wasn't a big guy."
But before they raise their hands to swear in to the Army, they have to walk through freedom's front door.
"Very nerve wracking, very nervous to know what all is going on," said Bailey.
The Military Entrance Processing Station, or MEPS, is the last stop before boot camp.
Young recruits, ready to being their military career, first have to pass through medical exams.
"I've described it as one of the best feelings you'll ever have," said SFC Brian Link. "Knowing at that point you made a commitment to serve your country. Know it's a bigger thing than just doing something for yourself."
But not everyone makes the cut.
Recruiters say one out of every ten people looking to join could be turned away.
"There are several times that their not," said SFC Terry Turner. "Maybe their eyes are bad, maybe their color blind or things like that."
For those that pass, all that is left is to sign on the dotted line which is as simple as the touch of finger.
"It's a new step towards a different end and different life," said Bailey.

They managed to make something forgettable, bland, and free from any of their combined histories. It's almost impressive, if you like things that suck. Advertisement Seriously, that new logo up there, with the main letters that don't quite line up like they should, has been estimated to have taken nearly three hours and cost the company what experts calculate to be something on the order of $350 dollars. Easily.I mean, for companies that both have an array of distinctive and compelling logos, how did they manage to come up with something that looks like what a Chinese agro-company that makes sorghum distillates would use? I expected more from this union. Advertisement Still, I know they're not alone — what do you think the worst auto company (both parent company and individual brands) logo is?

Yes, if you read the OTTI schedule topic you will see there was a Wuyi OTTI and a Chinese green OTTI scheduled (and virtually ready to roll). Both were postponed due to vendor situations beyond our control. The Chinese green is tentatively rescheduled and a whole new Wuyi is coming into focus. I would like to do another Chinese green OTTI as well
Also I am hopeful for a Taiwan oolong OTTI as soon as I can work out details.
And then there will be Shincha OTTI!
Please feel free to discuss future OTTIs in the OTTI schedule topic! Thanks.
And now back to our OTTI 12 discussion.

A clinical first-half showing from the Waratahs helped cushion their Round One loss to the Reds as they beat the Rebels 35-19 on Friday.
A first-half blitz from the 'Tahs helped cushion their Round One loss to the Reds as they overcame the Rebels 35-19 at AAMI Stadium on Friday.
It was a bonus-point win which came about thanks to two tries from Tom Carter and one apiece from Sekope Kepu and Bernard Foley.
James O'Connor had a relatively quiet debut for the Rebels while Danny Cipriani struggled to rally a backline that sorely missed Kurtley Beale.
The Rebels had opened strongly in their season bow and were soon rewarded when O'Connor knocked over a penalty on four minutes.
But then back came the Waratahs, who remain without Drew Mitchell, Rocky Elsom and Berrick Barnes, as centre Carter hit a perfect line in between Cipriani and O'Connor. The conversion was added by number ten Daniel Halangahu.
O'Connor did bring the scores back to 6-7 and that was how it stayed until the aforementioned 'Tahs purple patch caught the Rebels cold. First, Carter found himself with a simple run over the line in the left corner before a sucker punch from the Sydney outfit just before the break all but put the Super Rugby result beyond doubt.
It came via an unlikely source too as Kepu strolled over, with the extras from Halangahu adding to an earlier penalty shot from full-back Foley. The score was now 21-6 at the break.
The Rebels had yet more defending to do after the half-time interval as the ball was taken from touchline to touchline, ultimately ending up in the hands of left wing Adam Ashley-Cooper, who popped a pass to Foley who in turn stretched over for the vital fourth try.
Mission was accomplished for the Waratahs and despite O'Connor knocking over two more penalties, they lacked enterprise wide out so it came as no surprise that their only try of the game was born from a collapsed maul. Tatafu Polota-Nau was given yellow for the offence.
That gave the Melbourne Rebels the slimmest of hopes of claiming a losing bonus-point from the last remaining fourteen minutes at AAMI Stadium, but a three-pointer from fly-half Halangahu ultimately put the result beyond doubt while tempers continued to boil over.
The scorers:
For Melbourne Rebels:
Try: Penalty
Con: O'Connor
Pen: O'Connor 4
For Waratahs:
Tries: Carter 2, Kepu, Foley
Con: Halangahu 3
Pen: Foley, Halangahu

Replacements: 16 Luke Holmes, 17 Rodney Blake, 18 Alister Campbell, 19 Jarrod Saffy, 20 Richard Kingi, 21 Lloyd Johansson, 22 Julian Huxley.

HOBOKEN, N.J. -- Freshman Collin Clark scored a career-best five goals, including the game-winner early in the fourth quarter Friday, as third-seeded Nazareth stunned second-seeded Stevens, 13-12, in the opening round of the Empire 8 Conference Tournament for men's lacrosse.
The victory, which avenged a 19-6 defeat to the Ducks on April 23, improved Nazareth's overall record to 11-5 and lifted the Golden Flyers in Sunday's Empire 8 Conference title game at RIT. The Golden Flyers will take on the top-seeded and second-ranked Tigers (16-0) Sunday at 12 p.m. at RIT Field. The Tigers defeated Ithaca, 13-9, in the other first-round game. Stevens, ranked fifth nationally, is 15-2.
"Needless to say, this is a great win for us," said Nazareth Coach Rob Randall. "We needed some guys to step up and play well for us and that's what happened."
Specifically senior Joe Jacobs-Ferderbar, who was shut out in last Saturday's regular-season finale at RIT before emerging with three goals and two assists against the Ducks. In addition, sophomore goalie Tim Doyle made 17 saves, including a game-preserving stop on a shot by the Ducks' Brandon Faubert with :42 left. Defenseman Mitchel Frey scooped up the ensuing ground ball and Nazareth successfully cleared the ball and ran the clock out.
Trailing 12-11 heading into the fourth quarter, Nazareth got an early unassisted goal from sophomore midfielder Brian Wright, then Clark scored the go-ahead goal off an assist from Jacobs-Ferderbar as Nazareth broke free from Stevens' 10-man ride. Clark's goal came with 10:52 left and neither team scored thereafter.
As the game started, it looked like an instant replay of the teams' regular-season meeting as Stevens scored just 37 seconds into the game and emerged with a 4-1 lead just over five minutes in. Nazareth hung tough as Clark scored twice in the first quarter, including one on an extra-man pass from Scott Castle as the Golden Flyers drew within 6-4 after one quarter.
Kevin Rose scored for Stevens in the second quarter, then Nazareth scored four straight -- two each from Clark and Jacobs-Ferderbar -- to go up 8-7. Stevens evened the score at 8-8 with a goal by Rich Dupras with :04 left in the half.
The lead see-sawed back and fourth in the third quarter with Stevens taking a 12-11 advantage into the fourth quarter on goals by Christian Saley and Nicolas Philippi in the closing minutes of the third. Wright, Jacobs-Ferderbar and C.J. Estes had third-quarter goals for Nazareth.
That set the stage for the decisive fourth quarter as Nazareth kept Stevens off the scoreboard despite being outshot 15-8. Doyle made seven of his saves in the final 15 minutes.
"It's a great win, but there were a lot of things we could have done better," Randall said. "We could have cleared the ball better and we took a lot of needless penalties. I guess we did the things we needed to do when we had to."
Nazareth had eight penalties for 5:30 and Stevens converted three times on extra-man. Nazareth went 2-for-3 on extra man.
Clark also had an assist in addition to his five goals. Estes and Wright each scored twice and Castle had one goal and two assists. Senior R.J. Gringeri won 10 of 23 face-offs and had a team-best seven ground balls. Junior defender Tucker Sampson had five ground balls and two caused turnovers.
Sunday, Nazareth gets another crack at RIT, which improved to 16-0 and remains the only ubeaten team in Division III. The winner gains an automatic berth to the NCAA Division III Tournament. Nazareth is seeking its 19th NCAA berth.

From Manga Updates
No matter what age it is, the "Bullied Child" will never disappear. The overweight, Middle School student, Haruyuki, was one such kid. The only time he could relax completely, was when he would play a squash game on the local network the school had set up. He loved playing this simple game as he can forget painful times while immersed in it.
It was fall. He was passing his time like this until one day, he had an encounter with the school's most beautiful, refined girl, "Snow Black", which changed his life abruptly. Introduced to the software she transmitted, Haruyuki learned about "Accel World." A program that enhances one's mind capabilities, with certain side-effects.
It was the moment the guy on the lowest rung at school became "Burst Linker," protecting the Princess as her knight.
Based on a light novel series by Kawahara Rek
Genre(s): Action, Romance, School Life, Sci-fi, Shounen
This is a pretty good manga (5 chapter for now, but each has about 50 pages !!!). I would recomend it to the ones who liked the .hack// series .
Comment about the 5 chatper:

By RICHARD SHAWEmery Progress publisher
As new cell phones are introduced, with multiple features, and cell companies jump on the bandwagon to support those features, one has to ask why these companies aren't working on just giving basic good service before they try to expand their horizons.
The cellular phone industry is relatively new, when it is compared with the size and importance of what it takes on in the United States. It wasn't that long ago that cell phone users were tied to their cars for service, due to the size of the phones and the power needed to operate them.
Now cell phones are so miniaturized that some of them will fit in the watch pocket of a persons Levi's (or did since many blue jean companies have stopped making pants with those little pockets anymore).
Now this is not a scientific article in which I surveyed thousands of people about their cell phone service, but from what I gather from the people around me most are not happy with the service they have, whether it be along the Wasatch Front or in eastern Utah.
So I say these companies should listen to their customers and think about service first, features last. In some ways the cell industry in this country reminds me of the Detroit automakers of the mid-1970's in that they build something that is basically flawed and then sell it to the public with all the bells and whistles trying to cover up those defects. There are a number of problems which we could discuss.
We could talk about the poor reception that we have in some key places. Like the fact that we can get a strong signal on the rim of the Wedge in the San Rafael Swell, but our phones cut out on us driving through the middle of Wellington.
Or we could talk about the fact that many people have a hard time getting changes made on their phones or phone service when they want it.
But let's instead, talk about people, the most complicated piece of equipment a cell phone company has, and also seemingly the most unreliable when it comes to providing service.
Now I am not talking about the local representatives of cell phone companies. My experience with them has been generally very good. It is the ones you have to call for support at corporate that don't seem to think customers are important.
"Hello, this is Rodriguez of customer service at Big Time Cellular. Can I help you?" asked the voice on the other end of the line.
"Yes you can," I said. "A few months ago I lost my cell phone and then I got a new one. The new one is actually an old one that I had, that has fewer features so I know the charge that showed up on my bill last month was not correct. I need to see that is corrected."
The customer service representative asked me for my phone number; I waited patiently for him to access the information.
"Yes you reported your phone was missing on May 5," he said. "However, you downloaded some games on that phone last month; that is the reason for the charge."
"No I didn't," I said. "That is why I reported the phone was missing and activated this other phone so no one could use the service. Heck this phone isn't even capable of downloading games."
"But sir it says here that you called about losing the phone but didn't tell us to suspend service," he said. "So apparently the service is still on. Would you like it suspended?"
I sat there for a moment, kind of stunned.
"You mean I called in that my phone had been lost and your company didn't suspend service?" I asked incredulously. "Why else would I call you?"
"Sir, we can't read your mind about what you want us to do. This is a big company and we can't always deal with peoples little problems. You are going to have to pay that charge," the customer rep said. And then he said nothing else.
I wanted to get sarcastic about this stupid little situation but instead asked to speak to his supervisor, who didn't have any more empathy for the situation than he did. They finally put me through to the fraud department and after explaining the situation, that person told me that I needed to be transferred to technical support where a nice woman said to me "You mean you called in that you lost your phone and they didn't suspend service at that time?" she asked. "Why would you call just to tell us you lost your phone?"
My point exactly; but obviously customer service couldn't figure it out. She fixed the situation, and took the charges off my bill, or at least said she would.
I know this is only one instance (and it is an abbreviation of what exactly happened), but based on what many of my friends have experienced, I am sure there are many more similar stories out there like it and others even more bizarre. The entire situation took me two hours to resolve. I feel like sending them an invoice for my time.
I am now waiting for my bill to see if the billing department at the company is as inept as their customer service is.

The Division of Wildlife Resources sponsored a water bird viewing event on Saturday, May 5 at Desert Lake in Emery County from 8 a.m. until noon. The event commemorated national celebrations of Migratory Bird Day and Wetlands Day. The event was free to the public. DWR biologists were on-hand with spotting scopes and binoculars to assist the public with waterfowl identification.
Desert Lake is located east of the town of Elmo. Desert Lake serves as a rest area for many species of birds during migration. These include ducks, geese, sandpipers, herons, gulls, terns, pelicans, and cranes. Desert Lake is managed by the DWR for the benefit of migratory waterfowl. Normally closed to public access, the lake also serves as a sanctuary for nesting birds.
DWR officials reported the bird viewing was sparsely attended due to adverse weather conditions.

Biotech Update
by gwilson on Jul.19, 2009, under Uncategorized
Week before last I met with Dr. Jon Weidanz to discuss biotech issues in Abilene and ways our BIMS program can contribute to building a biotech workforce in west Texas. These meetings occur with relative frequency, as he and I share a vision for how McMurry BIMS students can become biotech leaders for America's future.
Here are some things we see in Abilene's future for biotech:
1. Growth in biotech education. Jon and I are working on ways to build a biotech-capable workforce in Abilene to support biotech growth. McMurry's Biomedical Science students remain one of the most talked about resources for the future in this regard. The industry is hungry for BS in BIMS-prepared workers to hire at starting salaries of over $50K. Other avenues we hope to see fall into place soon:
- biotech opportunities for students in Abilene schools, particularly in the New Tech High School starting this fall.
- biotech certification programs at Cisco College, with an eye toward articulation with the BIMS program at McMurry.
- presence of a PhD in Pharmaceutical Science degree program through TTU's School of Pharmacy in Abilene. There is an educational superhighway being developed to help provide skilled workers for biotech with exit ramps after high school, community college certification programs, four-year university degree programs, and graduate programs, all here in Abilene.
2. Growth in biotech opportunities. Jon and I discussed internships for students at Receptor Logic, and the myriad of other opportunities and developments on the horizon:
- growth in the equipment and infrastructure for research in Abilene, due to the Development Corporation of Abilene's investment in the biotech accelerator facility set to open in December.
- the likelihood of more biotech firms arriving in town within the next year or so to join Receptor Logic in the accelerator and bring additional research and development and production to Abilene.
- formation of the Abilene Life Sciences Foundation to spearhead and coordinate local research efforts and to oversee the accelerator operations.
- ongoing support at McMurry for biotech program development. This summer several additional vital pieces of equipment are being purchased to grow the research capacity for BIMS program faculty and students, and to offer for use by others in the shared endeavor.
These developments confirm what we've known for a long time – the BIMS program was one that was needed and whose time had come. Our students will help write the pages of Abilene's future.

The fear of taxes is one reason investors are suddenly fleeing muni-bond funds. Actually, fleeing may be a word that lets last week's munis flows off too easily.
The $2.8 billion in net investor outflows was the worst since the late 2010/early 2011 period, when tobacco bonds were downgraded, notes RBC Capital Markets analyst Chris Mauro this morning. "Shocking" is how he described it, following net inflows in 50 of the last 53 weeks.
And yet all isn't lost. That's true even when we're talking recent charts. The iShares S&P National AMT-Free Municipal Bond Fund (MUB), which backed off more than 3% on a price basis from its Nov. 30 high, spent this week recouping from a five-month low on Monday. In a word, stabilizing. The trend is similar in the iShares S&P California Municipal Bond ETF (CMF), though it's less pronounced in the SPDR Nuveen Barclays New York Municipal Bond ETF (INY). Stepping back from the charts, munis still look cheap versus Treasury bonds.
"We think that this week's flows are a temporary phenomenon and don't signal a return to the kind of mammoth, extended outflows that we experienced in 2010 and 2011," writes RBC's Mauro. "Instead, we suspect that the holiday period will serve as a welcome circuit breaker that will allow cooler heads to prevail once the calendar turns."
In that spirit, investors could do worse than to heed a few of Jack Hough's "do's" and "don't"s in the print edition of Barron's a few weeks back. Here are a few:
