PNC Bank officials are offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in Thursday morning's armed robbery at the PNC Bank branch on Coventry Lane.
According to the Fort Wayne Police Department, three men armed with handguns robbed the bank at 5610 Coventry Lane and handcuffed one of the employees before fleeing about 9:15 a.m.
The three men, wearing hooded sweatshirts with their faces concealed, entered the bank and told employees to get on the floor, according to a police department statement. One employee was secured with handcuffs.
There were no customers inside the bank at the time of the robbery and no injuries were reported, police said.
The men fled through the back of the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Police tried to track the robbers with a police dog through a residential area behind the bank, but the track ended in the 5100 block of Coventry Lane.
A complete description of the robbers was not available.
Several hours after the robbery, police released still images from bank surveillance videos, and PNC Bank announced a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the men.
The case is under investigation by the Northeast Indiana Bank Robbery Task Force.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Fort Wayne Police Department at 427-1222 or Crime Stoppers at 436-7867.
The same PNC Bank branch was robbed Dec. 12 by a man wearing a puffy winter coat and ski goggles.

Just like fad diets for humans, popular diets for your pets come and go. However, there's one particular pet diet trend that gives us pause: ASPCA experts say raw food diets for pets that include raw meat, eggs and milk may be dangerous for your furry friends. We typically recommend that pet parents opt for well-balanced, high-quality commercial and cooked foods instead.
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) agrees. In studies published in AVMA's journal, homemade and commercial raw food diets for dogs and cats were found to contain dangerous bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, just to name a few. Other tests showed that unprocessed food diets can lead to nutrient deficiencies or excess that can cause serious illnesses in pets. Also, pets chewing on raw bones can lead to obstruction or perforation of their gastrointestinal tracts, and fractured teeth.
If you don't want to feed your dog or cat a commercial diet, consider a homemade diet that will diminish the risks of foodborne illnesses. These meals should be thoroughly cooked and need to be formulated by a veterinary nutritionist or by your veterinarian to make sure they're nutritionally sound.
If you are passionate about feeding your pet raw foods, please consider the following tips.
- Work with your veterinarian to ensure that your pet's diet is nutritionally balanced.
- Avoid feeding raw foods in homes with babies and toddlers (who put lots of things in their mouths), the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
- Practice regular hand washing before and after feeding pets.
- Practice appropriate disposal methods when cleaning up pet feces.
For more information about pet-safe diets, consult your veterinarian and check out our complete list of people foods that are dangerous to pets.

Artist Spotlight: Ed Luce
BY Christopher Harrity
August 13 2011 4:00 AM ET
Ed Luce is an artist and writer from San Francisco who self-publishes the indie comic sensation Wuvable Oaf along with a line of related shirts and merchandise. Often referred to as the "Scott Pilgrim of gay comics," the story revolves around a large, scary-looking guy searching for love, his rather complicated relationship with cats, and his devotion to all sorts of good music. Along the way, readers meet a couple of warring queer rock bands and the Oaf's lovable cast of misfit friends, which includes pro wrestlers and cult celebrity guest stars.
Luce is also well-known for his comic's unusual special edition versions, which have included everything from lollipops to scratch-and-sniff trading cards to seven-inch vinyl record singles (featuring collaborations between legendary Bay Area bands Limp Wrist and Talk Is Poison).
Currently, Luce has two exhibitions of Oaf art running on the West Coast: One at Goteblüd, a vintage zine store in San Francisco's Mission district, and one at Floating World Comics in Portland, Ore. Over the next few months, Oaf will also be taking part in the San Francisco Zine Fest (September 3-4), the Alternative Press Expo (also in San Francisco, October 1 2) and the New York Art Book Fair at MoMA PS1 (represented by Matt Wobensmith, September 30-October 2).

I'm a 11th grader (from India). I have taken Physics,Chemistry,Biology & Maths in school as I'm interested in pursuing a career in environment related field. Initially I was interested in Environmental science but now I'm confused between that and environmental engineering, confused as in what happens in which field. I'm interested in finding solutions of environmental problems but of course I like to study them as well. So which career will be more suitable for me?
On side note, something which may help with the above question. As a student I've always been average-above average level (unless something is related to environment). I'm more interested in environment related things than others. So I also want to know what qualifications are needed for both the careers (please post in separate paragraphs to avoid confusion) and also which subject needs stronger background.
Thank you.

I know all of people here don't like WalterFootball mocks but i really liked this one as i felt we filled most of our main needs except for OT but alas there were some players i have never heard of since i don't get to watch much College Football so i was hoping someone could give their opinion of this draft.
14 Pick
Miami Dolphins: Keenan Allen, WR, California
The Dolphins need a true No. 1 receiver for Ryan Tannehill to work with. Head coach Joe Philbin has done a superb job with Miami this season, and could be saving general manager Jeff Ireland from the chopping block.
The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Allen looks like he could have the talent to be a big-time receiver. Allen caught 46 passes for 490 yards and five touchdowns as a freshman in 2010. He put together a huge 2011 season, racking up 98 receptions for 1,343 yards and six scores. To go along with ideal size, Allen has the speed to make big plays downfield.
The junior totaled 61 receptions for 737 yards and six touchdowns in 2012. He has also returned a punt 69 yards for a touchdown. Weak quarterback play from his brother, Zach Maynard, hurt his opportunities.
Allen looks like the complete package as a receiver. He uses his size and strength to run routes in the short to intermediate part of the field, but has no hesitation running crossing routes and is very adept at picking up yards after the catch. Allen is an aggressive play-maker who attacks the football in the air. He is sure-handed and already well-developed.
Not only does Allen have the speed to run downfield, but he beat defenses over the top, too. Allen has a second gear and the explosion to break off big gains. He is faster than many defensive backs expect and is physical with defenders.
Allen looks like a great fit for an NFL West Coast offense. He could be an X (split end) or Z (flanker) receiver who works in all levels of the defense.
47 Pick
Miami Dolphins: Logan Ryan, CB, Rutgers
The Dolphins could use more help at corner after trading away Vontae Davis.
The Scarlet Knights corner has been the best player on the team's defense and a big part of their success this season. He had a clutch interception against Cincinnati in Rutgers' 10-3 victory.
Ryan has been a very good cover corner this season. He has had tight coverage and excellent ball skills to prevent completions. Ryan has four interceptions, 14 passes broken up, 77 tackles and four tackles for a loss. He is tied for third in the nation with 18 total passes broken up.
The 6-foot, 190-pounder has the combination of size and speed that many teams look for in a man-cover corner. If Ryan declares for the 2013 NFL Draft, he probably will be, at worst, a second-day pick. Many years there have been cornerbacks who have a late rise into first-round consideration, and the junior is a candidate to continue the trend.
Ryan had 67 tackles with 14 passes defended, three interceptions and two forced fumbles in 2011.
54 Pick
Miami Dolphins: Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford
Miami could use an upgrade at tight end. Ertz would be a great fit in the Dolphins' offense and a safe receiver for Ryan Tannehill.
Ertz (6-6, 252) is having a strong senior season, leading the Cardinal with 63 receptions for 818 yards and six touchdowns. His production would be better if he had more consistency from his quarterbacks. Ertz has improved his blocking this season and is becoming a well-rounded tight end. He backed up Coby Fleener in 2011, but still hauled in 27 receptions for 346 yards and four touchdowns.
78 Pick
Miami Dolphins: John Simon, DE, Ohio State
The Dolphins could use pass-rushing depth. Between Cameron Wake and the young defensive ends, Miami would have a nice rotation.
Simon (6-2, 263) looked good this season and has a lot more pressure on the quarterback than even his numbers indicate. He totaled 44 tackles, 14.5 tackles for a loss, nine sacks, one forced fumble and four passes break-ups in 2012.
Simon was quiet in the early going in 2011, but the junior came alive down the stretch. He had 53 tackles with 16 tackles for a loss, seven sacks and three passes broken up for the year. Simon had 41 tackles with 8.5 tackles for a loss and three sacks as a sophomore.
The senior is a strong player who has a great motor. While Simon is not a speed-rusher off the end, he is a good run-defender. Simon is short on athletic ability and speed, but he a fighter who is very physical with offensive linemen.
90 Pick
Miami Dolphins: Ryan Swope, WR, Texas A&M
The Dolphins need more than one receiver. Swope was Ryan Tannehill's top receiver at Texas A&M, and Mike Sherman already has seen that Swope fits his offense well.
Swope was excellent in 2011 as Ryan Tannehill's No. 1 receiver, catching 89 passes for 1,207 yards and 11 touchdowns. Swope is very fast with the speed to create long touchdown catches. He caught 72 passes for 825 yards and four touchdowns in 2010.
Swope has had a disappointing start to his senior year, but he's heated up down the stretch. Swope really played well against LSU, Auburn, Mississippi State and Alabama. He's totaled 64 receptions for 809 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
The 6-foot-1, 206-pounder is a gritty player with underrated speed.


text: Irish Literature overview faculty program organizations after graduation The Democracy of Storytelling This minor offers students the opportunity to concentrate on the literature of Ireland while gaining an understanding of its historical, cultural, and literary contexts. The program offers a variety of courses that give students an understanding of some of the trends and leading figures of Irish literature. Courses on Ireland's Literary Revival, Contemporary Literature and Politics, and on major figures like William Butler Yeats explore key moments in Irish literary history, as well as the ways in which Irish literature impacted national identity and wider literary trends. "The Democracy of Story-telling" Ireland's literary history is filled with giants: James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Bram Stoker, Seamus Heaney, Oscar Wilde, William Butler Yeats. Le Moyne tries to engage and share that rich tradition through the Irish Literature Program, which has brought famous Irish authors to campus in recent years. These include poet Paul Muldoon in 2006 (winner of the Pulitzer Prize), novelist Colm Toibin in 2010 (winner of the IMPAC Dublin ltierary award, among others), and novelist and essayist Anne Enright in 2013 (winner of the prestigious Booker Prize). This year, the featured speaker was Colum McCann, celebrated Irish author and winner of the National Book Award. "We are very excited to have Colum here. It is a rare opportunity and I think our students will really enjoy what he has to share," said Dr. Kate Costello-Sullivan, director of the Irish Literature program at Le Moyne. McCann discussed his latest novel, TransAtlantic, which tells the stories of the first transatlantic fliers and of Frederick Douglass' visit to Ireland in the nineteenth century. McCann also sat down with students to talk about the craft of writing and about the power of story-telling. "I believe in the democracy of story-telling," McCann has said. "I love the fact that our stories can cross all sorts of borders and boundaries. I feel humbled by the notion that I'm even a small part of the literary experience. I grew up in a house, in a city, in a country shaped by books. I don't know of a greater privilege than being allowed to tell a story, or to listen to a story. They're the only thing we have that can trump life itself." PAST EVENTS: 2013- 2014 "Irish Vampire Movie Marathon" -10/29/2013 The Irish Program hosted a three - hour "Irish vampire Movie marathon on October 29. The showing of three vampire films corresponded to four readings of Carmilla, the text that arguably set the stage for Bram Stoker's later novel Dracula. "Intimate Dangers: Irish Vampires and the Woman Problem -10/30/2013 The Irish Program hosted a talk by Dr. Renee Fox of the University of Miami,entitled "Intimate Dangers: Irish Vampires and the Woman Problem Irish author Colum McCann-11/13/2013 The Irish Program hosted a reading by celebrated internationally-known Irish author Colum McCann on November 13,2013.

We Take Judicial Notice . . .
Marty Lederman
From today's opinion (pp. 28-29):
Here is the entire syllabus summary from which Professor Lederman's passage comes. This passage appears to be part of an open invitation to enact laws requiring abortionists to disclose the details of how he or she proposes to kill the unborn child (or in Kennedy's words, the "living fetus").
3. The Act, measured by its text in this facial attack, does not impose a substantial obstacle to late-term, but previability, abortions, as prohibited by the Casey plurality, 505 U. S., at 878. Pp. 26ñ37.
(a) The contention that the Act's congressional purpose was to create such an obstacle is rejected. The Actís stated purposes are protecting innocent human life from a brutal and inhumane procedure and protecting the medical community's ethics and reputation. The government undoubtedly has an interest in protecting the integrity and ethics of the medical profession. Washington v. Glucksberg, 521 U. S. 702, 731. Moreover, Casey reaffirmed that the government may use its voice and its regulatory authority to show its profound respect for the life within the woman. See, e.g., 505 U. S., at 873. The Act's ban on abortions involving partial delivery of a living fetus furthers the Governmentís objectives. Congress determined that such abortions are similar to the killing of a newborn infant. This Court has confirmed the validity of drawing boundaries to prevent practices that extinguish life and are close to actions that are condemned. Glucksberg, supra, at 732-735, and n. 23. The Act also recognizes that respect for human life finds an ultimate expression in a motherís love for her child. Whether to have an abortion requires a
difficult and painful moral decision, Casey, 505 U. S., at 852-853, which some women come to regret. In a decision so fraught with emotional consequence, some doctors may prefer not to disclose precise details of the abortion procedure to be used. It is, however, precisely this lack of information that is of legitimate concern to the State. Id., at 873. The Stateís interest in respect for life is advanced by the dialogue that better informs the political and legal systems, the medical profession, expectant mothers, and society as a whole of the consequences that follow from a decision to elect a late-term abortion. The objection that the Act accomplishes little because the standard D&E is in some respects as brutal, if not more, than intact D&E, is unpersuasive. It was reasonable for Congress to think that partial-birth abortion, more than standard D&E, undermines the public's perception of the doctorís appropriate role during delivery, and perverts the birth process. Pp. 26-30.
It appears that Gonzales has eliminated a requirement that abortion regulations have a health of the mother exception in order to survive a facial challenge so long as there is dispute in the medical community as to whether the regulated abortion method is required to preserve the health of the mother.
That probably leaves open the question of whether health of the mother can be a legal defense if the abortionist uses "intact D&E" to kill the "living fetus" and is then prosecuted.
Even so, this is an enormous change because the requirement of a health exception which was determined by the abortionist essentially legalized abortion on demand through the entire term of the pregnancy so long as the abortionist considered birth to be a danger to the health of the mother.
Kennedy does not shy away from describing standard and intact D&E's in all their gruesome detail over pages 3-9 of the opinion.
It is often a fool's errand to guess where a Justice may stand on future issues which may come before the Court, but Kennedy is obviously appalled by the entire D&E procedure of literally ripping unborn children apart.
Kennedy may be a possible vote to seriously restrict Roe or even reverse it.
Bart Depalma:
I disagree with you that Kennedy might be a vote to overturn Roe v Wade or Casey. He had the opportunity vote that way in Casey.
Kennedy's modus operandi seems to be this very Catholic type of paternalism. He gets appalled in a very self-righteous kind of way. I think it's very apparent in Hill v Colorado (2000) (free speech case where Colorado prohibited certain types of speech within [x] yards of abortion clinics) where he wrote, dissenting:
"The Court's holding contradicts more than a half century of well-established First Amendment principles. For the first time, the Court approves a law which bars a private citizen from passing a message, in a peaceful manner and on a profound moral issue, to a fellow citizen on a public sidewalk."
Kennedy views abortion as a "profound moral issue", and I think from his opinions we can see him grappling with it. I don't think he's come to a resolution on it, but I think his sense of, for lack of a better word again, paternalism makes him revile some of the more "gruesome" abortion methods.
Even if Kennedy did vote to overturn Roe. I doubt such a situation would happen anytime in the near or intermediate future. As noted elsewhere, Scalia and Thomas had concurrence that expressed their view that Roe was wrongly decided (conspicuously absent was whether Roe should be overturned--stare decises issues).
I just doubt that even if five justices were inclined to overturn Roe that they would actually do so. I'd bet they would duck the issue or find some procedural grounds for avoiding the specific issue of overturning Roe. The social impact of such a decision would be enormouse. Surely, they will chip away as much as possible. But the basic idea of abortion as a Constitutionally guaranteed right (with restrictions, perhaps substantial) is a long way from being overturned.
Another interesting initial take from reading the opinion is that Kennedy is only assuming and not deciding that Casey applies. It appears that Kennedy is distancing himself from O'Connor's opinion and is keeping his options open in the future.
"Bart" DePalma is ignerrent:Post a Comment
Kennedy is obviously appalled by the entire D&E procedure of literally ripping unborn children apart.
No, "Bart". That's D&C. Which wasn't banned.
I'll leave aside your "framing" effort here in your description of the foetuses as "unborn children".

Cleveland, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Andrew Bynum scored 20 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked five shots to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 97-93 victory over the Chicago Bulls.
Tristan Thompson scored 14 and had 14 rebounds, Dion Waiters had 20 points and Kyrie Irving added 19 points and six assists for Cleveland, which ended a five-game skid.
"It's actually good to jump and see that it wasn't too bad on the landing. I think, more so than anything, it's about getting more and more minutes and getting out on the floor and getting my touch back," Bynum said.
Luol Deng scored a game-high 27 points and dished out 11 assists, Tony Snell and Taj Gibson each added 18 points apiece and Kirk Hinrich and Carlos Boozer both tallied 12 points for the Bulls, who have lost five of their last six games.
"We have to do better," Gibson said. "We learned a lot just being on the road. These guys have to play a lot harder. We're too sluggish starting games and we just have to do better -- that's the main thing."
Trailing 95-93, Deng drove to the right block and missed a short jumper with 10.9 seconds to play. Joakim Noah and Boozer combined to miss three tip-in attempts.
Thompson grabbed the rebound and made two free throws with nine seconds remaining to seal the victory.
Down by 14, 82-68, early in the fourth quarter, the Bulls went on a 14-2 run to get within two. Gibson's three-point play with 6:11 to go made it an 84-82 contest.
Chicago used a 6-0 spurt moments later to take the lead. Snell's layup with 3:59 remaining made it 88-87.
Bynum followed that basket with one of his own to spark an 8-0 Cleveland run. Waiters capped the flurry with a layup and jumper to make it a 95-88 contest.
Deng's 3-pointer and Boozer's layup cut the gap to 95-93 with 40.9 seconds left.
Cleveland came out firing and started the game with a 9-0 run. The Cavaliers led by as many as 10 in the opening stanza, but the Bulls scored the final seven points of the frame to get within 27-25.
A tight second quarter that featured five lead changes and nine ties ended with the Cavaliers holding a 56-51 edge.
Cleveland's margin reached 15, 71-56, on Irving's bank shot with 7:08 left in the third period.
But the Bulls scored the next seven points to get within eight. Snell's 3- pointer and jumper cut the deficit to 71-63. It was a 77-66 game heading to the fourth.
Waiters went 8-of-10 from the field ... Cleveland went 16-of-19 from the foul
line ... Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau was given a technical foul in the second

Normally about this time we would start a thread asking people to post ideas for utilities and programs that might be suitable for the upcoming NANY event, so programmers who are looking for ideas could get some inspiration.
However, as many of you know, DC member Skwire has gone on a coding snack bender lately, and seems addicted to writing programs that are requested in the Coding Snacks area and anywhere else he can find them.
So.. we need to enforce a new Skwireification Embargo Policy and not ask for any NANY ideas until closer to the NANY deadline (December 1 maybe). If not i'm afraid he will start eating up all the ideas before anyone else has a chance to even see them. With him and skrommel on the loose at the same time it would be like NANY every month. Another solution might be to block him from this section..

When it comes to job fields that value 50-plus workers, the nonprofit arena is a bright light. The ability to hit the ground running is your calling card. Not having to shell out time and money for training is a real selling point for a nonprofit with pressing needs, tight deadlines and perhaps a small budget.
And they're hiring.
Forty-four percent of nonprofit groups plan to hire more workers this year, up from only a third two years ago, according to a survey of more than 580 organizations by Nonprofit HR Solutions, a human resources consulting firm.
Health nonprofits, followed by environmental and animal-welfare groups, were most likely to report plans to hire, according to the report. From finance to fundraising to management and marketing, a broad sweep of skills is in demand.
But with all these jobs, the core requirement is a genuine passion for the nonprofit's mission. You can't fake that. "Your commitment for the organization's cause is what will set you apart from other candidates," said Laura Gassner Otting, president and CEO of Nonprofit Professionals Advisory Group, an executive search firm based in Boston.
Here are five top jobs where the nonprofits surveyed expect an increase in hiring. Depending on the size of the charity, these jobs may offer flexible hours and can be on a full- or part-time basis. Pay ranges vary based on factors such as the size of the nonprofit, your level of experience and the location of the job.
1. Fundraiser
The nitty-gritty: Show me the money. Fundraising is how a nonprofit stays afloat. The position requires a sociable personality to really work it. A nimble networker will smoothly create connections and camaraderie with potential and existing donors.
You'll need to be alert to the various ways of raising money, be it by seeking generous gifts from individuals and corporations or by using savvy estate-planning moves to lay the groundwork for a bequest in a will. You need patience to woo even small donors to your cause, but knowing that they will be there for the long haul and help spread the word is worth it. And although much of the work is done via personal meetings, you might step into the limelight as a host of a big fundraising event such as a formal charity ball or a 10K race.
Behind the scenes, your duties may include sending heartstring-tugging form letters appealing for donations, making telephone cold call appeals to potential donors and sending thank-you notes. This job may also require you to tap the art of grant writing to apply for special funding available from an institution or government agency.
Grant writing, however, may be a full-time job at some nonprofits. While a way with words and communication skills are paramount, good listening skills are crucial, too. A successful fundraiser builds relationships over time and innately knows when it's proper to press for a pledge.
Annual pay range: $51,630 to $180,480, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Qualifications: A background in sales or public relations is a great entree. To hone your skills, you might consider taking workshop classes or enrolling in a certification program offered by the Association of Fundraising Professionals and the Foundation Center. The center offers affordable classes nationwide in classrooms and online that cover grant proposal writing and fundraising skills. Many colleges and universities also offer courses in fundraising.
2. Program manager
The nitty-gritty: As a nonprofit program manager, you may have broad duties that involve running the day-to-day goings-on for all the charity's initiatives, or your job may be narrowed down to an individual program. For example, a volunteer program manager is a growing position at many nonprofits. It entails recruiting volunteers, interviewing them to find out where their skills can be put to the best use, monitoring training, juggling schedules, supervising and more. You may even need to step in if a volunteer is a no-show. Grant writing to raise funds for your program may fall under your jurisdiction.
If you're not a stickler for details and organization, this one's not for you. And remember, you're the face of the program, so you've got to be at ease with making presentations both to the board and upper management and via public events.
Annual pay range: $31,065 to $67,059, according to PayScale, an online salary, benefits and compensation information company.
Qualifications: Generally speaking, you need to have a background in managing teams of people, meeting deadlines and delivering projects as promised and on time. An energetic dose of creativity is at the heart of the position. Your role is to inspire fresh ways of tackling projects, motivate your team and continually create initiatives that advance the charity's mission. Nonprofit experience is not a specific requirement, although a degree in social work or public administration might serve you well. A working knowledge of word processing and spreadsheet software is nonnegotiable.

Your review should be posted within seven days. Solo-6 IR keypad works well Written By Howard F, Santa Barbara, CA on Monday, March 12, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We have both Solo-6 IR and Solo-6 MD with LCD display controllers for ZR-6. The Solo-6 MD really shines if you are using a classic iPod to serve your music. The MD LCD display gives you metadata track selection and information from your iPod as well as radio channel info from the integrated ZR-6 radio. Also, admittedly the Solo-6MD units look nicer in the house. However we are almost exclusively streaming music from an internet radio source (Logitech duet) so we really don't use the iPod metadata display features all that much. For that the Solo-6 IR is actually easier, operates with a simple button selection, don't have to go through the LCD menu on the MD. We ended up putting the IR units on the outside of the house and the MD units on the inside for aesthetics. Both units work great and have served us well. I will add that if you have a large music collection on your iPod you may find the MD interface maddeningly tedious and slow since you can only page up or down 5 lines at a time. My wife can work both the MD and the IR units just fine which is the final litmus test in our household. Pros: Easy to use, good if not using an iPod as your primary music source, good for low-traffic and guest areas of the house Cons: If you are going to be selecting music from your iPod then spring for the MD (and the MD looks nicer in the house) Was this review helpful? Yes No Spring for the Solo 6 MD Written By Travis, Orlando, FL on Friday, May 22, 2009 These things go great with my ZR-6! I purchased 4 of these and 2 of the MD keypads and now I wish that I had purchased 6 of the MD's!

Oxidative stress has been implicated as an underlying inflammatory factor in several disease pathologies, including cancer, atherosclerosis, aging, and various neurodegenerative disorders (1-5). Phospholipids in particular are susceptible to oxidative damage, and (per)oxidized phospholipids can have deleterious effects, including disruption of membrane bilayers and production of toxic byproducts (4, 6-8). One hypothesized pathway for removal of oxidatively damaged species involves hydrolysis by phospholipase A2-type enzymes. Candidate hydrolytic enzymes include the platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolases (PAFAHs) (4,9). The initial role assigned to the PAFAHs was the hydrolysis of platelet activating factor (PAF) (10,11), a potent pro-inflammatory phospholipid signaling molecule (12), which plays a role in myriad physiological processes including inflammation, anaphylaxis, fetal development, and reproduction (4,13). The PAFAHs are subdivided into three classes: plasma (p)PAFAH, and intracellular types 1 and 2. In terms of sequence homology, pPAFAH and PAFAH2 are close homologs and show little similarity to type 1 enzymes. This project aims to develop specific inhibitors for pPAFAH and three counterscreen enzymes: PAFAH2, PAFAH1b2, and PAFAH1b3.
pPAFAH is associated with inflammatory pathways involved in atherosclerosis, asthma, anaphylactic shock, and other allergic reactions (14,15). Numerous studies have also linked increases in pPAFAH concentration and/or activity to an increased risk of various cardiovascular diseases (16,17); however, the biological function of pPAFAH in the development of coronary heart diseases is controversial, with both anti- and proinflammatory roles attributed to it (18,19). Dr. Bahnson and colleagues recently reported the first high-resolution crystal structure of pPAFAH (20), and would like to expand their studies to co-crystallize pPAFAH with substrate-mimetic inhibitors to further define the active site and substrate specificity of pPAFAH. While one selective pPAFAH inhibitor has been reported (21), its properties are not suitable for the proposed studies.
PAFAH2 has also been shown to play a role in inflammatory processes via hydrolysis of oxidized phospholipids. Over-expression of PAFAH2 has been shown to reduce oxidative stress-induced cell death (22,23) and to mediate repair of oxidative-stress induced tissue injury (4). The enzyme also undergoes N-terminal myristoylation and subsequent translocation to the membrane under conditions of oxidative stress (22,23). This evidence suggests that PAFAH2 functions as an important, and perhaps primary, antioxidant enzyme in certain tissues (4); however, its substrate specificity and pathway involvement are far from being fully elucidated. Currently no suitable inhibitors exist for co-crystallization or biochemical studies of PAFAH2.
Given the complex biology of the PAFAH enzymes, chemical tools capable of interrogating enzyme architecture and providing precise temporal control over PAFAH activity are necessary for complete characterization of patho/physiological roles of the PAFAHs in phospholipid metabolism and inflammatory disease processes. Towards that goal, we developed a HTS assay for inhibitor discovery for four PAFAH enzymes: pPAFAH, PAFAH2, PAFAH1b2, and PAFAH1b3, based on their reactivity with the serine-hydrolase-specific fluorophosphonate (FP) (24) activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) probe. This reactivity can be exploited for inhibitor discovery using a competitive-ABPP platform, whereby small molecule enzyme inhibition is assessed by the ability to out-compete ABPP probe labeling (25). Competitive ABPP has also been configured to operate in a high-throughput manner via fluorescence polarization readout, FluoPol-ABPP (26). Following the HTS campaign, top inhibitors for each enzyme will be characterized and medchem optimized with the goal of delivering key reagents for elucidating the biology of the PAFAH enzymes.

Panel Information
§ Panel component ID.
Assay Overview:
The purpose of this assay is to determine whether or not powder samples of test compounds can inhibit the anti-target pPAFAH, a serine hydrolase with high sequence homology to the target enzyme PAFAH2, in situ. In this assay, cultured murine mast cells are incubated with test compound. Cells are harvested and the soluble fraction is isolated and reacted with a rhodamine-conjugated fluorophosphonate (FP-Rh) activity-based probe. The reaction products are separated by SDS-PAGE and visualized in-gel using a flatbed fluorescence scanner. The percentage activity remaining is determined by measuring the integrated optical density (IOD) of the bands. As designed, test compounds that act as PAFAH2 or pPAFAH inhibitors will prevent enzyme-probe interactions, thereby decreasing the proportion of bound fluorescent probe, giving lower fluorescence intensity in the band in the gel.
Protocol Summary:
Murine mast cells (5 mL total volume; supplemented with FCS) were treated with 10 nM test compound (5 uL of a 1000x stock in DMSO) for 4 hours at 37 C. Cells were harvested, washed 4 times with 10 mL DPBS, and homogenized by sonication in DPBS. The soluble fraction was isolated by centrifugation (100K x g, 45 minutes) and the protein concentration was adjusted to 1 mg/mL with DPBS. FP-Rh (1 uL of 50x stock in DMSO) was added to a final concentration of 2 uM in 50 uL total reaction volume. The reaction was incubated for 30 minutes at 25 C, quenched with 2x SDS-PAGE loading buffer, separated by SDS-PAGE and visualized by in-gel fluorescent scanning. The percentage activity remaining was determined by measuring the integrated optical density of the PAFAH2 and pPAFAH bands relative to a DMSO-only (no compound) control.
%_Inhibition = ( 1 - ( IOD_Test_Compound - IOD_Low_Control ) / ( IOD_High_Control - IOD_Low_Control ) ) * 100
Test_Compound is defined as PAFAH2 or pPAFAH in cells treated with test compound.
High_Control is defined as PAFAH2 or pPAFAH in cells treated with DMSO only (no compound).
Low_Control is defined as background in a blank region of the gel.
PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:
The following applies to each panel in this assay:
Compounds with greater than or equal to 50% inhibition were considered active. Compounds with inhibition less than 50% inhibition of were considered inactive.
Overall Outcome and Score:
Compounds that were active for inhibition of PAFAH2 and inactive for inhibition of pPAFAH were considered active. Compounds that were inactive for PAFAH2 and active and/or inactive for pPAFAH were considered inactive.
The PubChem Activity Score is assigned a value of 100 for active compounds, and 0 for inactive compounds.
The PubChem Activity Score range for active compounds is 100-100. There are no inactive compounds.

Despite opposition by some members and a few amendments, City Council endorsed Mayor Tom Henry's first nine "Legacy" proposals for a total of nearly $20 million.
Each of the nine proposals, including a $500,000 study on riverfront development and an $8 million fund to help colleges expand downtown, passed council with the 6-3 "supermajority" required to spend any of the roughly $48 million currently available from the lease and sale of the old City Light utility to Indiana Michigan Power.
The higher education fund created the most discussion, as Councilmen John Crawford, R-at large, and Russ Jehl, R-2nd, argued that the city should not directly subsidize colleges and universities, while administration officials said the fund would help create a more vibrant downtown.
"This is one I can't support," Crawford told city officials. "You have good reasons and a lot of good logic behind you, but I don't think it's going to be worth $8 million."
Council members Marty Bender, R-at large, Tom Didier, R-3rd, Mitch Harper, R-4th, and John Shoaff, D-at large, also said they had reservations about the fund, yet all but Harper voted for it. Harper abstained.
Council President Tom Smith, R-1st, tried to quiet their concerns by assuring them that the city would not be transferring lump sums of cash for the colleges to use as they please. Instead, the city would maintain the fund, and applicants would ask for money on a specific project-by-project basis, he said.
"We can support public projects, private projects, I don't care, as long as we get great bang for our buck," Smith said.

Rock Creek Forest Elementary School in Chevy Chase will be razed and replaced with a $22 million facility of nearly double its size.
Construction is scheduled to start this summer and be complete in January of 2015, said James Song, director of facilities management for Montgomery County Public Schools.
The school was built in 1950 for a maximum of 310 students, but currently has 600 students enrolled.
"It's crumbling and it's way too small, bursting at the seams, and we're thrilled that we will finally be able to give the kids the educational environment they deserve," said PTA Co-President Beth Scofield, who has two children at the school.
The new facility will have a capacity of 740 students. The project is currently in the design phase, and is scheduled for review by the Montgomery County Planning Board on Jan. 10.
The project will be put out to bid in May, Song said. He said construction funds were allocated by the Montgomery County Council in the 2013-2018 Capital Improvements Program.
During construction, he said students will move to the Radnor Center in Potomac, which is owned by MCPS and used as a temporary school for facilities that are under construction. The move is scheduled for winter break in the 2014-2015 school year.
Every single teaching space in the current school is being utilized, and excess capacity is accommodated by six portables, said Acting Principal Jennifer Lowndes. She said the new building will have more room, and incorporate Rock Creek and Rock Creek park into the building.
The new facility will feature a tile creek running through it and, in the all-purpose room, a map of nearby Rock Creek Park with a rose compass, Scofield said.
"I am so excited," she said. "I think it's just going to be wonderful for the students, the staff and the whole community."
The current building is about 54,500 square feet, according to documents from the Montgomery County Planning Board. The new facility will be 98,000 square feet.
The site will include 100 parking spaces, separate drop-off lanes for buses and parents, and green features such as a vegetative roof and low flow plumbing fixtures, Song said.
He said existing mature trees will be preserved, and improvements to the grounds will include landscaping and new outdoor play areas.
The Rock Creek Forest Elementary School modernization project is scheduled to go before the planning board on Jan. 10 at 1:30 p.m. at 8787 Georgia Ave. in Silver Spring.

The ASPCA Emergency Boarding Facility has been up and running in Brooklyn since Saturday November 17! Our dedicated staff and volunteers are currently caring for about 150 animals and providing relief to Sandy victims who need temporary housing for their pets. Check out photos of the operation in our Facebook album.
This week, we received pets at locations near the hardest hit areas, including the Rockaways and Coney Island on Monday and Tuesday and Staten Island and Red Hook later in the week. The facility has also welcomed pets who were being housed at evacuation centers or a Sean Casey Animal Rescue facility, as well as animals dropped off directly by their families.
Made possible in part thanks to a $500,000 grant from Rachael Ray, this free service was created in response to the many pet parents who asked for a place to board animals until they found new homes. With the help of volunteers from the ASPCA Adoption Center, Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals and elsewhere, we're aiming to give hundreds of families a chance to rebuild their lives without having to say goodbye to their beloved furry family members.
Watch this blog for updates.
If you or someone you know was affected by Sandy and would like to use our free boarding service, please read this post for details.
If you would like to donate to our Disaster Relief Fund, you can do so here.

ETSU Women's Soccer Falls to UNC Greensboro 1-0 in Overtime
Sunday, October 26, 2003GREENSBORO, N.C. (October 26, 2003) - UNC Greensboro midfielder Rakel Logadottir scored the game's lone goal, 2:50 into the first overtime, as the Spartans defeated the East Tennessee State Buccaneers, 1-0, in women's college soccer action, Sunday afternoon at a wet UNCG Soccer Stadium. UNCG improves to 9-6-2 overall, 7-2-0 in the SoCon, while ETSU falls to 11-4-0 overall and 6-3-0 in the SoCon. Logadottir, who scored her sixth goal of the season, took a feed from Carolyn Lindsay, and found the left corner of the net, from 12 yards out. "East Tennessee State played very hard, like we thought they would", said UNCG head coach Eddie Radwanski. "Our kids were very solid defensively. We kept on knocking on the door offensive and we percerveried. We found a way to win." ETSU goalkeeper Heather Sanden (Manassas, Va.) made six save for the Bucs, while UNCG goalkeeper Jennifer Stillman stopped two shots in the shutout. The ETSU Bucs will next take on the Davidson Wildcats on Thursday October 30 at 7 p.m.

for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
Favorite line from that Hunt video: His only football before this was in a video game.
Shamarko Thomas / S / Syracuse
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 208
This kid is one of the best athletes that will enter the 2013 draft. A lot of coaches like to use the term "freak" when discussing Shamarko Thomas. One of Syracuse's coaches recently took Thomas to a Nike National camp and they had the medicine ball throw where you get on your knees and throw it. They had it measured off where they thought guys would throw it. Thomas threw it past the allotted area by 10 or 15 feet. Prompting the coach running the event to say, "That's crazy". The biggest lineman there who measured 6'5", 300+ pounds didn't even get half the distance that Shamarko Thomas did.
He's already reportedly ran two 40 yard dashes for NFL scouts that were both sub-4.3 when he almost entered the 2012 Draft and submitted his paperwork.
His work ethic is legendary. Only a 2-star recruit, and originally signed with Louisville before deciding on Syracuse, he's become a force defensively in the Big-East through sheer determination and hard work. He considers Ray Lewis' his mentor and patterns his work ethic after Lewis. He eats, sleeps, and breathes football. All he wants to do is workout in order to become the best player he can be.
Here's a little article that talks about how when his teammates come to visit and want to play video games, etc.... he's out pushing his car.... uphill.
This is all he does. Here's a little workout with teammate Tyson Gulley:
One of those sub-4.3 dashes:
Coaches like to use Thomas up near the LOS, as an overhanging and/or flat defender within inverted coverages. Physical player made of solid granite with outstanding game speed. Tremendous blitzer and tackler. He has some Troy Polamalu type qualities when he came out of USC.
Well done picking out Shamarko Thomas. Has been one of the Big East's best kept secrets. Really made an impression on me in the Syracuse South Florida game back in 2010. Really not well liked right now, probably because he's never intercepted a football, but there are more ways to make plays than just intercepting a ball and when you have that combination of strength and closing speed on the football, you're going to be a player that offenses actually have to think about. With that kind of range, the interception opportunities will come.
Twitter: @ckparrot
Johnthan Banks / CB / Mississippi St.
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 185
Banks was a 3-star recruit who started making plays the moment he stepped on campus as a freshman when he tallied 33 tackles, 4 INT's, and 2 INT's returned for touchdowns... Like this one vs. Florida and Tim Tebow:
As a sophomore he continued to build on his success as a freshman totaling 54 tackles, 7 PBU's, 1.5 TFL's, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, and 3 INT"s. He put his outstanding leaping ability and ball skills on diplay with this one when they blew out Denard Robinson and Michigan 52-14 in their bowl game:
As a Junior in 2012, Banks continued on his career trajectory totaling 71 tackles, 9 PBU's, 8 TFL's, 3 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 5 INT's, with one returned for a touchdown. Mullen also began letting Banks return punts as a Junior. He had 16 punt returns, for 166 yards (10.38 average), and 1 touchdown.
Banks is a rangy corner with elite height, long arms, fluid hips, and elite ball skills. The best cornerback in Starkville since Fred Smoot. Should be a 1st round pick if he avoids injury as a Senior.
vs. Arkansas:
vs. South Carolina:
vs. LSU:
Emory Blake / WR / Auburn
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 197
This is the type of kid that I would hope every front office in the league underestimated... because I'd snatch him up. I've always liked to watch this kid play. A 4-star recruit, and the son of former 14 year NFL quarterback Jeff Blake.
Adjusts to the football and has terrific hands. Knows how to get open, and has faced many of the best DB's and secondaries college football has to offer. Versatile and has played the Z, X, and slot. Tough and competitive. Effort blocker.
Owns the longest play from scrimmage in Auburn history (94 yard TD catch-and-run) and always seems to be the one to make a play when Auburn needs it. Recovered the onside kick attempt and advanced it deep into Utah St. territory to win the season opener in 2012.
Doesn't have blazing speed but is constantly getting behind secondaries. Still has a lot of untapped potential as a route runner. Will be even better once he's learned the nuances of how to run certain routes. Will be learning a new system as a Senior, and Auburn's quarterback situation is unstable, which could allow him to continue playing under the radar. I'll take him.
Robert Lester / S / Alabama
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 210
I watched Foley against Prattville in the state playoffs in 2007 when Lester was playing cornerback for Foley High, where he was also a teammate of Julio Jones. Lester was on the scout team at Alabama during his freshman year studying under Rashad Johnson.
A 4-star recruit, Lester didn't quite have the speed for the cornerback position in the SEC and Saban moved him to safety because of his ball skills. As a redshirt sophomore during his first season as a starter in Alabama's secondary, he led the SEC with 8 interceptions. Including 52 tackles, 4 PBU's, 2 sacks, 2 QB-hurries, 1.5 TFL's, 1 fumble return for 89 yards (which we'll see in a moment), and 1 sack.
As a Junior, he intercepted 2 more passes, 3 PBU's, 1.5 TFL's, a forced fumble, and a blocked kick.
Robert Lester has improved as a player every year he's been on campus. He'll enter the 2012 season as the elder statesman in Alabama's young secondary, and one of the best ball hawks in the country. Intelligent player who executes most of the finer details required of the safety position in Coach Saban's complex defense the way they're supposed to.
vs. Penn St./Mississippi St.:
vs. Penn St. (2011):
Chase Thomas / DE-OLB / Stanford
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 245
The top Senior DE/OLB prospect heading into the 2012 season in my opinion. Rushes with his hand on the ground lined up at DE in 4 man fronts, while also playing standing up from a 2-point stance in Stanford's 3-4 defense. Experienced dropping into coverage and shows good awareness and hips to change direction smoothly. Moves around a lot as a blitzer, and even lines up in 10/20 techniques. In three seasons, he's accumulated 36 TFL's, 19.5 sacks, 8 QB-hurries, 8 forced fumbles, 3 PBU's, and 1 Interception. He'll build on that resume as a Senior and probably have his best individual season.
Since Jim Harbaugh arrived at Stanford, the program has churned out some of the best looking players you can find in college football. They've been so well coached on the details and techniques that I have a harder time finding flaws in some of them than any other program in the country. Chase Thomas fits right into the mold of Andrew Luck and David DeCastro as 3 players that for all intents and purposes, have almost no flaws. I can look at Chase Thomas and tell he was developed by Vic Fangio, who followed Harbaugh to San Francisco and coaches one of the best coached defenses in the NFL. Thomas literally does everything better than most. I think he has a chance to be the caliber of player that Clay Matthews became in Green Bay.
