text: Torsten, I just got a copy of the Nature Genetics Article by Harrington et al. (1997) Vol 15 pg 345 "Formation of de novo centromeres and construction of first-generation human artificial minichromosomes" In the article they used a very simple approach of randomly joining centromeric repeats to identify what consitutes a centromere, they ende= d up with workable minichromosomes. The approach involved cloning long sythetic arrays (concatamers) of alpha stellite DNA (based on Chrm 17 centromeric repeats) with telomeri= c DNA and genomic DNA to generate mammalian artificial chromosomes (MAC's= ) in HT1080 human cells. These MAC`s are about 1 Mb and are stable for 6 months+. They [authors] basically let nature select what combination of chromosomal components that is required for maintenance of a chromosome (with proper replication and segregation at mitosis). They selected for these chromosomes using G418 resistance, as the recombinant MAC's cont= ain a betageo gene (neo/betagal fusion (P. Soriano's I presume)). =20 You could have found Nature Genetics On-line from this list of on-line journals from Experimental Medicine at McGill University http://www.medcor.mcgill.ca/EXPMED/DOCS/on-linej.html Or could have gone there directly at: http://genetics.nature.com/ The abstract can be found here: http://genetics.nature.com/1997-April/formationofidenovoicentromeres Or if you don`t have a WWW browser here is the abstract: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Formation of de novo centromeres and construction of first-generation human artificial microchromosomes John J.

P.K. Yonge's Brooksie McGraw and Buchholz's Jessica Thomas made deep playoffs runs as seniors on their respective teams.
Player of the Year: Brooksie McGraw, P.K. Yonge
The 6-foot-3 senior center averaged 13.0 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game in leading the Blue Wave to their eighth straight regional final. The Alabama signee scored in double figures in 22 of 28 games this season and had 14 double-doubles. McGraw, who was part of P.K. Yonge's state title teams in 2010 and 2012, had a season high 26 points against Santa Fe, 18 rebounds against Hawthorne and six blocks against Ocala West Port, all victories.
Personal notes
McGraw was just as busy off the court as she was on it. Besides being a standout basketball player and student body president, she was also elected homecoming queen in the fall. It often became overwhelming with sports and student government responsibilities "My senior year was really exciting and stressful," McGraw said. "But now everything is calming down. My next goal is to keep working out and walk across that stage (for graduation)." She will visit Tuscaloosa on May 26, then graduate from P.K. Yonge on May 31.
"I have a countdown on my phone that tells me how many days I have left (before moving to Alabama). I'm pretty scared. I've talked to (assistant) coach (Clarissa) Garcia, trying to build chemistry with my teammates and let them know I'm ready and excited to come and work. This should be an awesome year. They are rebuilding their program, too." — Brooksie McGraw
Player of the Year: Jessica Thomas, Buchholz
This has been a magical year for the senior guard, the area's first winner of the prestigious Florida Dairy Farmers' Miss Basketball award, which recognizes the top player of the year in the state. In the competition, Thomas beat out three players recognized as McDonald's All-Americans, even though surprisingly she was not. But what has meant more to the Miami signee than individual accolades was what happened in Lakeland on Feb. 23 when the Bobcats captured their first state championship, beating Davie Nova 63-49 for the Class 7A crown. And Thomas led the way, scoring 15 points in one stretch to jump-start a lethargic start by Buchholz, and finished with 26 as the Bobcats (28-4) ended two straight years of frustration in the state semifinals. Thomas, who averaged 30 points, seven assists and five steals a game this season, scored 38 in the state semifinal win over Tampa Freedom (79-73), and had 47 in an 84-79 overtime win at Viera in the regional finals. In that game, down three, Thomas was fouled with 2.1 seconds left during a 3-point attempt. She hit all three free throws to force OT, and the Bobcats survived for their third straight trip to Lakeland.
Personal notes
The baby sister to former Buchholz and Miami great wide receiver Lamar Thomas, Jessica was the only returning starter from last year's final four team. She signed with Miami before the start of the season. A first-team all-area performer on the basketball court three straight years, she was also a first team all-area selection in golf for two of the past three years and had Buchholz's low round at state.
"The main goal was to get that state title. I didn't expect all these other awards to be coming to me while working for that. I knew we had talent that no one knew about. There have been times when I have done some amazing things, but it really hasn't been seen. I didn't have to do that with the team I had last year. This year I had to contribute a lot more." — Jessica Thomas

Today, treatment options for cancer patients typically include surgery, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy. While these therapies have saved lives and reduced pain and suffering, cancer still takes millions of lives every year around the world. In recent years, researchers have been working on a new strategy: developing microbes and microbial products that specifically attack cancer cells.
This book breaks new ground in emerging cancer treatment modalities by presenting recent advances in the use of microorganisms and viruses as well as their products in cancer therapy. Seventeen chapters review the application of live microorganisms, high and low molecular weight products derived from microorganisms, and microbial products fused to cancer–targeting molecules. In addition, the book highlights the benefits of a multi–target approach to destroy cancer cells. Readers will not only discover the results and significance of basic and clinical research, but also encouraging results from clinical trials.
Emerging Cancer Therapy is divided into three sections:
Section 1: Live/Attenuated Bacteria and Viruses as Anticancer Agents
Section 2: Bacterial Products as Anticancer Agents
Section 3: Patents on Bacteria/Bacterial Products as Anticancer Agents
With chapters written by leading pioneers in microbial, biotech, and cancer research, Emerging Cancer Therapy is recommended for biotechnologists, microbiologists, clinical oncologists, medicinal chemists, and biochemists. Readers will not only learn the tremendous potential of microbial and biotechnological approaches to cancer therapy, but also discover new directions of research for effective drug discovery and development.

CSG activists keeping watch
ANTI-CSG activists this week launched a surveillance operation, led by a white van marked 'Patrol Unit 1' which organisers claim will be monitoring Metgasco activities with video equipment and laptops.
The initiative, dubbed Northern Rivers Community Watch, is using unmarked private vehicles plus its flagship van to check on each of the Metgasco drilling sites on a daily basis.
Organiser Daniel-John Peterson said the group would not be interfering with Metgasco's operations.
"This is not a blockade vehicle… we have set guidelines and rules that we follow among ourselves governing our behaviour when we're associated with this van," Mr Peterson said.
He said the group was filling a gap left by the lack of effective monitoring by taxpayer funded environmental watchdogs.
"We're not here to be some sort of authority or enforce any laws... but what you're seeing in this van is an indication of community frustration and disempowerment with organizations like the EPA."
Metgasco managing director Peter Henderson said Metgasco has "no problems" with the surveillance vans and that the company had "nothing to hide".
"Where we have a problem is if environmental activists break the law in their activities," Mr Henderson said.
Last week the Australia Petroleum Production and Exploration Association released a report calling for a reduction in "red and green tape" for the oil and gas industry.
The report emphasised a need for streamlining approvals.
Mr Page has arranged a meeting in partnership with MP Thomas George and four other ministers at Lismore City Hall at 10am on Wednesday at which a group of scientists will address those with concerns in relation to CSG.
"I would encourage anyone who has concerns to attend that meeting," Mr Page said.
He also defended the recently released NSW CSG policy.
"A lot of consultation went into the development of that policy and a whole lot of preventative measures have been put in place ... it's all got to be done without any threat to the water supplies."

good luck
Thanks, my wife and I are seriously considering the move, love the area and we'd like the adventure

Is work steady, most of my experience is in commerical but I'm not biased lol
Traffic??? Ur kidding right , I live and work in the DMV area . Can't get any worst than that lol
Depending on the company if work is steady or not.
We stay pretty steady(knock on wood) Some companies have to lay off in the off season but we haven't had to. Only once but it was also to move some dead weight out the way.
What kind of commercial work do you like I may be able to give a suggestion of who to work for in the area.
i do it all really, but i'm willing to do whatever the bossman tells me. here's part of my resume
Over 12 years in the trade, ranging in repair, installation, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, job coordinating, and estimating on commercial jobs and equipment, strong understanding of data center infrastructures, active member of the Steamfitters Local 602
Equipment Serviced
A/C split systems, CRAC units, heat pumps, makeup air units, packaged rooftop units, water source heat pumps, cooling towers, hot water boilers, steam boilers, indoor air products, electric heat, gas fired power burners, oil burners, pumps, hanging heaters, some pneumatics and building zoning systems, also some limited experience on low pressure chillers and screw chillers, and variable frequency drives.
High school graduate, completion of a State accredited four year apprenticeship program, with on the job training, EPA universal license, State of Maryland journeymen license, and continued education through manufacturer training courses

Yes, traffic can be a PITA. I lived there for about 10 years and if there is any issue on I-26 I hope your gas tank is full. If the tide is rolling in while raining I hope you drive a tall vehicle because the flooding is horrible. But being a coastal city, that shouldn't be a surprise. They don't call it "The Lowcountry" without a reason.
If you're looking for commercial, when I left in 2007 Triad was a decent team to work with. Cullum was also a busy place. HR Allen wasn't bad either. Stay away from Aero Services. CGI (formerly Clontz Garrison, Inc) owns Aero Services so avoid them as well. Advanced Plumbing, Heating & Air was usually pretty busy also. Tony Morelli was a tough SOB, but fair, from what I dealt with.
SC is a right to work state so I don't know if being Union will be a big benefit there or not. Little to no hydronic heat that I ever ran across, not a lot of steam either. Mostly HP's w/electric backup.
Winter consists of 3 or 4 overnights in the 20's in January (leave your faucet dripping or else it will freeze) and you're back opening windows next week. I used the AC on Christmas Day more than once there. Spring is beautiful (Azaleas should be blooming in Summerville around now), Summer is brutal heat and humidity. Fall is like spring but humid.
If you love golf, you're home.
Good Luck!
thanks ken

As Penn State coach Bill O'Brien begins his second year with the Nittany Lions when they open spring practice today, there are plenty of holes to fill on both sides of the ball.
As Penn State coach Bill O'Brien begins his second year with the Nittany Lions when they open spring practice today, there are plenty of holes to fill on both sides of the ball.
There is also a wealth of talent and skill returning, along with young players who will soon be household names. And after a year that saw the NCAA nearly bury Penn State only to have the Nittany Lions and their fans rally around the program, the focus can be more on the football field.
O'Brien, who briefly flirted with several NFL openings before committing to Penn State, earned a number of Coach of the Year awards after leading the Nittany Lions to an 8-4 record amid sanctions, player transfers and constant turmoil. While those will continue to linger over the program, O'Brien and his staff can turn their attention to putting another good product on the field.
The two biggest holes the Nittany Lions have to fill are at quarterback and leadership roles.
It's hard to believe after his first three years that Matt McGloin's absence would be a large void, but to his credit that's just how good he was in 2012. The former walk-on was named the starter before preseason camp and never looked back, setting nine school records and tying another. McGloin, who threw 24 touchdowns and just five interceptions, left Penn State with career records for touchdown passes (46), 200-yard games (18) and 300-yard games (six).
Sophomore Steven Bench, who saw limited playing time in 2012, has a leg up on junior college transfer Tyler Ferguson in the quarterback race, but O'Brien said he won't name a starter after spring practice. Incoming five-star recruit Christian Hackenberg is a big reason for that, but he won't be on campus until late June.
The positive for whoever starts under center is the wealth of skill position players they'll have to work with.
All-Big Ten first-team receiver Allen Robinson leads that group after a remarkable sophomore season. Robinson was named the Big Ten Receiver of the Year after catching a single-season school record 77 passes for 1,013 yards and 11 touchdowns.
A batch of talented tight ends will also be at the new QB's disposal. Kyle Carter, who received three freshman All-American honors, returns along with 6-foot-7 Jesse James and walk-on Matt Lehman. True freshman Adam Breneman, the nation's top tight end, is already on campus and has been cleared for spring ball after missing his senior year with a knee injury.
Brandon Mosbey-Felder, Penn State's third leading receiver with 31 catches for 437 yards, is back along with sophomore Trevor Williams, but keep an eye on redshirt freshman Eugene Lewis. Called Geno by O'Brien, Lewis mostly played quarterback at Wyoming Valley West, but earned rave reviews for his work on the scout team last fall.
The backfield will be strong, with Zach Zwinak cemented as the starter. Zwinak didn't break the starting lineup until the Purde game, but ran for 1,000 yards and six touchdowns. Bill Belton, the starter going into last season, returns, but the player to watch is redshirt freshman Akeel Lynch. Not quite as big as Zwinak, the 214-pound Lynch will bring a combination of speed and power that should have the Nittany Lions faithful excited. The loss of fullback Michael Zordich, who also played some tailback, can't be overlooked.
There are holes along the offensive line, especially at center with the graduation of All-Big Ten first teamer Matt Stankiewitch of Blue Mountain. Senior Ty Howle will get the first shot there, but sophomore Angelo Mangiro will provide a challenge. Right tackle will be an open competition with Adam Gress, Eric Shrive and former tight end Garry Gilliam in the running. The return of left tackle Donovan Smith, and guards John Urschel and Miles Dieffenbach make line coach Mac McWhorter's life a bit easier.
Captain, unquestioned team leader and outside linebacker Michael Mauti may be even tougher to replace than McGloin. Despite a slew of injuries during his career, Mauti played at an All-American level on the field and led like one off it last season. A knee injury in the second to last game kept Mauti on the sideline in the season finale, but Penn State showed just how much he meant to the program by wearing his No. 42 on its helmets against Wisconsin.
The loss of standout tackle Jordan Hill and outside linebacker Gerald Hodges sting, too, but there is talent there.
Daquan Jones has the ability to be the Nittany Lions' next great tackle, but he needs to stay on his feet and be more consistent. To fill Hill's spot, a competition will feature junior Kyle Baublitz, redshirt freshmen Austin Johnson and Derek Dowrey and senior Nate Cadogen, a former offensive lineman.
Mike Hull will start at one outside linebacker spot with Glenn Carson, who should step into the defense's leadership role, in the middle for a third straight year. Sophomore Ben Kline and redshirt freshmen Nyeem Wartman and Gary Wooten will be in the mix to replace Hodges.
Deion Barnes, who earned several freshman All-American honors and was named the Big Ten Defensive Freshman of the Year, is back at one end. Sophomore Anthony Zettel will man the strong-side end spot, but could slide inside in pass rushing situations. Juniors C.J. Olaniyan and Brad Bars will see time, too.
The secondary must replace corner Stephon Morris, but returns starters Adrian Amos on the outside and safeties Malcolm Willis and Stephen Obeng-Agyapong. Sophomore Da'Quan Davis should get the first crack at Morris' spot, but redshirt freshman Jake Kiley, who could also play safety, and true freshmen and early enrollees Anthony Smith and Jordan Smith could challenge Davis.
Sam Ficken made 12 of his last 13 kicks after a 2-for-8 start, but there are still questions outside 40 yards. Punter Alex Butterworth averaged just 37.4 yards on 51 punts. Both need to get better to fend off Chris Gulla, who can do both and will be on campus in June.
The return game wasn't all that effective, but Lynch might change that on kickoffs. Jesse Della Valle averaged 7.6 yards per punt return, but Alex Kenney and Lewis could get a look there.

Three remain hospitalized after crash that tied up I-95 for hours
Waterford — Three people sustained serious injuries and a portion of Interstate 95 North in Waterford was completely shut down for more than 13 hours Wednesday due to an early-morning crash involving a tractor-trailer carrying aerosol canisters.
At 1 a.m. Wednesday, state police said a tractor-trailer collided with an SUV on I-95 just north of Exit 76, at the Interstate 395 connector near the East Lyme town line. Emergency crews from the area arrived at the scene of the crash to find the tractor-trailer down an embankment.
The highway was closed, and traffic was diverted off I-95 onto I-395 at Exit 76.
Oswegatchie Fire Department Lt. Stuart Coleman said crash victims were taken from the scene by ambulances from Oswegatchie, Jordan and Flanders fire departments.
The crash involved an SUV driven by Patricia Stebbins, 31, of Westerly, and a New England Motor Freight tractor-trailer driven by Sherman Adams, 51, of Edison, N.J., state police said.
Both drivers, along with Darla Holly, 34, of Westerly, who was a passenger in Stebbins' vehicle, were initially taken to Lawrence & Memorial Hospital.
Stebbins was listed in fair condition at L&M Wednesday evening. Adams was listed in fair condition at Yale-New Haven Hospital, while Holly was listed in serious condition at Rhode Island Hospital.
One lane of traffic was reopened shortly after 2 p.m, and both lanes were reopened later in the afternoon, state police said.
State Department of Transportation spokesman Kevin Nursick said the clean-up at the crash scene was a lengthy process in part because of the police investigation but also because of a diesel spill and the nature of the tractor-trailer's cargo.
"When you have something potentially volatile, great care needs to be taken by the first responders and folks offloading that trailer," Nursick said.
Police ask anyone who witnessed the crash to contact Trooper Daniel Hoffner at (860) 848-6500.
The stretch of the highway where the accident occurred Wednesday has been the site of various serious accidents over the years. In 2011, an Amherst, Mass., resident died due to injuries sustained during a crash between Exits 75 and 76.
In 2007, a tanker truck left the northbound roadway, drove through the center guardrail of I-95 and crossed into southbound traffic, striking four cars and a tractor-trailer. The crash occurred just before Exit 75 and killed three people.

Wawrinka stuns Nadal in Melbourne final
As fireworks lit up the night sky around Melbourne Park in celebration of Australia Day, the crowd inside the Rod Laver Arena were treated to an explosive performance from Stanislas Wawrinka as the new Swiss No. 1 assaulted Rafael Nadal with a series of fizzing forehands and crackling backhands.
Wawrinka, who moves up to three in the world rankings, proved far too much for his opponent as he won 6-3 6-2 3-6 6-3 to become the first man in 21 years to beat the top two seeded players en route to lifting a grand slam title.
The 28-year-old Wawrinka dominated from the start - using his sublime one-handed backhand to excellent effect. For the first time in 27 attempts covering 13 matches, Wawrinka had won a set against Nadal.
Then, just like London buses, two came at once - but Nadal appeared to be on the verge of retiring in the second set, when he hurt his back and needed a medical time out.
The Verdict
- Take nothing away from Wawrinka.
- Yes, Nadal was at half-pace from the moment his back went midway through the second set, but the Swiss had dominated up to that point and did not look like letting up.
- The history records will simply say Wawrinka beat Nadal in four sets - and that's how this match should be remembered.
- Nadal had a great tournament, but Wawrinka thoroughly deserved his victory and this man has the potential to go on and be a multiple grand slam champion.
- A new era for not only Swiss tennis, but for the sport as a whole.
- Alex Perry, Assistant Editor, ESPN.co.uk
Nadal has had a terrible stretch with injuries at the Australian Open, and has described it as his unluckiest grand slam. He missed the 2013 edition during a seven-month layoff with knee injuries and illness, and his quarter-final losses in 2010 and 2011 were affected by injuries.
Suddenly the atmosphere in the Rod Laver Arena was strangely subdued. And it left Wawrinka fuming. He sat in his chair and raged at umpire Carlos Ramos, demanding to know why Nadal was taking a break. The frustration was understandable, it would not have been in Wawrinka's game plan to deal with a half-pace Nadal. And he certainly would not have wanted to have won by default - the first time that would have happened in a men's slam final since Stefan Edberg retired with a torn stomach muscle against Ivan Lendl in this very competition in 1990.
Nadal eventually returned - unpunished despite taking two minutes more than the allowed time - and was even booed by a few spectators. But the break in play caused little problems and Wawrinka went on to dominate the remainder of the second set.
Nadal slumped into his chair, his head in his hands, on the verge of tears and at one point swaying towards the net as if ready to throw in the towel.
But then the painkillers seemed to kick in, and in the blink of an eye the Spaniard was in the ascendancy. Wawrinka's feathers were ruffled and even a few swift punches to the side of his own cranium could not get him fired up enough to prevent Nadal cruising to the third set and leaving Wawrinka to rue the missed opportunity.
It proved to be a mere blip.
Wawrinka got his eye back on the ball and, much like in the first set, dominated proceedings with a series of blistering backhands. After two hours and 21 minutes, the championship-winning forehand flew past Nadal.
Wawrinka slowly raised his arms to the air, barely breaking into a smile. He knew he had beaten a half-fit Nadal, who was quick to assure his opponent that he was a thoroughly deserving winner.
"Hello everyone," Wawrinka said as he approached the microphone to collect his trophy and winner's cheque from 14-time grand slam champion and twice winner of the Australian Open Pete Sampras.
"Rafa, I am really sorry for you. I hope your back is going to be fine. You are a brilliant champion and it is always a pleasure to play against you. Well done for your comeback to become world No. 1, you are always so professional and lovely to everyone so it is great to have you back."
Stan the man in Australian Open mind game
- Stanislas Wawrinka's Australian Open triumph proved to everyone - himself included - that he has the physical ability to match the world's very best, but perhaps even more importantly he showed the mental fortitude to go with it as well, writes Chris Wilkinson.

As Nadal wiped a tear from his eye, Wawrinka added: "I love playing here. Last year I had a crazy match [against Novak Djokovic] and I was crying a lot after that match - but in the last year a lot has happened and I'm still not sure if I am dreaming or not so I will see tomorrow morning.
"I would like to congratulate my team, and say thank you to my beautiful wife and daughter. I am coming home in two days and I can't wait."
Nadal added: "[Wawrinka] played unbelievable to win that title. I'm very happy for him. He is a great friend of mine and he deserved it.
"I played a few great matches - against Monfils and Federer. I played enough well to be in the final. I go home knowing I did as much as I can."
When asked about his back, the Spaniard replied: "In that moment I was too worried to think what happened. My physio tried to relax it a bit - but I [wanted] to finish the match for the crowd, for the opponent, and for me.
"[But] this is not the moment to talk about the back. I'm disappointed and sad about what happened, and the crowd wants to watch the best match possible. I was not able to do that for them. I understand their reaction and you will never hear me talk badly about the crowd here.
"But this is Stan's day, not my day."

Fresh off of his announcement that he's signed with Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group, Chicago-rapper Rockie Fresh has no time to celebrate, as he's planning to hit the studio right away to work on his first album. The past few months have been a whirlwind for the 21-year-old Chicago-native, who went from meeting Rick Ross to being signed to his label in the span of two months. He did take the time to talk to RedEye about his plans for his first project, a new tour, whether he'll collaborate with any of his MMG label mates and his relationship with other emerging Chicago rap artists.
How does it feel to officially be apart of the Maybach Music Group?
Rockie Fresh: I feel awesome. I feel like this will be a big move in my life and my career. I have a great relationship with Rick Ross so this is something I feel good about, and I'm ready to prove myself to the world and make it into something really big.
How did this deal come about? You told XXL magazine that Rick Ross flew you out to Los Angeles for the 'Take It To The Head' video shoot a couple of months ago. Was that the start of this partnership?
I put out a video for my song "Into the Future" and one of his friends saw it and he passed it on to Ross. He flew me out and it was such an organic, laid-back environment. I didn't even think he was interested in signing me because we were just chilling and I saw him as a big brother because of the conversations that we had. A month later, he said he was interested in putting in an offer. At that time, I was in talks with other labels but, it was just something special about that situation, and that's where my heart led me to go.
What are you most looking forward musically when working with the Maybach Music Group? Can we expect any collabos with your label mates such as Wale, Meek Mill, French Montana or Rick Ross himself?
I want to take my sound to another level. What made me want to go with MBM is because Ross has such a great respect for the sound I already have and it went under the radar in that people didn't know about it. You'll see potential remixes for songs on Drive 88 and having Ross and the other guys blessing that project because they believe it's a classic. For my new music, they want to collaborate on that type of sound versus changing me as an artist or putting me on songs that wouldn't necessarily fit me and if that does happen, that's going to be my choice versus me being forced to do so.
How does it feel to go from a local, virtually unknown, artist in Chicago to the national stage? What does that say about Chicago's talent now that you join the likes of Kanye, Common and Lupe Fiasco?
I'm happy about having the ability to be appear next to those list of dudes, because not only are they great artists, but they stood for something and they brought positive vibes to the community and that's what I want to add to Maybach Music and represent the city well. We're going through a lot of killing, just real messed up times right now and I want my music to be a release from that. The guys who came before me did that and they were who I listened to when I was younger so I just want to be that same type of voice for the young people.
What's the camaraderie like between you and other Chicago up-and-coming Chicago rappers like King Louie, Chief Keef and L.E.P who are all gaining heavy buzz? Have they sent you any well wishes on your new deal?
L.E.P and King Louie both reached out and sent me congrats. I've known them both for a long time since coming up. King Louie and I are still working together and have a lot of work to do. L.E.P. is one of my big homies who has always showed love since my very first show. I've never met Chief Keep, but I have respect for what he's doing and I love to see artists out of Chicago progress.
The 'Electric Highway' mixtape will be a follow-up to 'Drive 88'. What can we expect from this project, will there be any collaborations and is there a release date?
The project is due to come out this fall, some time around late August or early September. I'm working on it now. Now that I've made this move, I feel like a lot of opportunity to make better music will arise with this and I want to give my fans the best. I'm collaborating with Cassie Veggies on the project and he's actually just signed with Roc Nation so we're both experiencing all this at the same time. I want to add some MGM players, but the direction and sound will be same but it will be emotional and in more mature way and more lyrically respected.
You've announced the Electric Highway tour. What can fans expect and do you anything special planned for your stop at the House of Blues in Chicago on Aug. 17?
Fans can expect a different type of setup. I'm going all in as far as my set, lighting and it'll be well organized. It's definitely going to be something different and fresh. I'm definitely going to work on planning something real crazy for the Chicago show and take it to the next level. It's going to be my first homecoming show off of my first tour and I'm going to make it special for those in attendance as well as for my own memories.
You've been quoted saying that it's tough being an independent artist. Now that you're signed to a mainstream label, do you feel less pressure or will the grind be just as tough?
The grind will definitely be just as tough. The one tough thing about being an independent artist is trying to convince people to take your music serious. Being on a major label help creates a serious picture. But the real grind comes with the instrumentals and me putting in work so that the producers can see my vision, so I'm going to go in there everyday like it's day one.
You're only 21 and you've now accomplished a huge milestone. Does it feel like a long journey or more like overnight success?
It definitely feel like it's been a long journey, but looking back on the things I went through, it's been a blessing that I'm able to experience something such as this at a young age. It feels like a long climb because we put in a lot of groundwork. I worked hard on the mixtapes and put a lot of time into touring. I felt it went unnoticed at the time, but looking back God had it planned out at a different time for me and I appreciate the pace at which everything has happened.
What's your advice to someone who wants to accomplish what you've done?
I would tell them to find comfort in yourself and create that type of mindset. I'm a fan of all different type of rap music, but originality makes people respect you as an individual and want to do business with you instead of you trying to be just like them. Young artists will find success if they remain true to who they are.

BOSTON (Reuters) - A friend of the accused Boston Marathon bomber on Tuesday asked a judge to move his trial on charges of interfering with the investigation, arguing that pretrial publicity has made it impossible for him to get a fair hearing in Massachusetts.
Kazakh exchange student Dias Kadyrbayev filed papers in U.S. District Court in Boston, joining earlier motions by two other defendants, Azamat Tazhayakov, also of Kazakhstan, and Robel Phillipos, of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Prosecutors accused ethnic Chechen brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev of killing three people and injuring 264 others in the April 15, 2003 bombing at the marathon finish line and shooting dead a university police officer three days later.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev died after a gunbattle with police and Dzhokhar was arrested and is awaiting trial on charges that carry the possibility of execution if he is convicted.
Kadyrbayev, Tazhayakov and Phillipos face criminal charges for going to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's dorm room three days after the bombing and removing a backpack containing empty fireworks shells and a laptop.
Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov face charges of obstruction of justice and lying to investigators, which carry the penalty of up to 25 years in prison, while Phillipos faces a less serious charge of lying to investigators, which carries a possible 16-year sentence.
In a court filing last Friday, Tazhayakov's lawyer argued that news coverage linking the friends with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has indelibly tainted the potential jury pool in Massachusetts.
"With the defendants' trial date less than two months away and within 14 months of the horrific incident, the Boston community will not have had adequate time for such passions to cool," Tazhayakov's lawyer argued.
He noted that the trial of Timothy McVeigh, who was accused of the 1995 bombing of a federal office building in Oklahoma, was moved to Colorado. McVeigh was found guilty and executed in 2001.
District Judge Douglas Woodlock has set a June trial date for the three friends, while Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's trial is scheduled to begin in December.

SEATTLE, Nov. 15, 2012 -- Omeros Corporation (NASDAQ: OMER) today announced that GPR17-targeting compounds, which were previously identified by Omeros in connection with unlocking this orphan receptor, have now been demonstrated to promote differentiation of the cells that form myelin in the central nervous system. Myelin is critical for the proper functioning of the nervous system, and demyelination is associated with multiple nervous system disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS), traumatic brain or spinal cord injury, stroke and Alzheimer's disease. Using its proprietary high-throughput Cellular Redistribution Assay, Omeros believes that it alone has identified compounds that interact with GPR17, an orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR).
"These data are very encouraging," stated Bruce Trapp, Ph.D., founder and chief scientific officer of Renovo Neural Inc. (RNI), chairman of the Department of Neurosciences at the Lerner Research Institute, Cleveland Clinic, and professor of neurosciences at Case Western Reserve University. "There are no approved remyelinating therapeutics, and the compounds under development by Omeros could lead to the first oral agents able to stimulate sufficient remyelination to restore neural function. This would represent a breakthrough in the treatment of currently irreversible demyelinating diseases, such as MS and other devastating myelin-related disorders." The data were generated through Omeros' collaboration with RNI, a company focused on remyelination research to accelerate drug development for demyelinating neural diseases.
"GPR17 represents one of Omeros' unlocked GPCRs that we are advancing through medicinal chemistry," said Gregory A. Demopulos, M.D., chairman and chief executive officer of Omeros. "The biology of the receptor – its strong link to remyelination – has been well documented, and Omeros now has identified over 90 compounds that functionally affect its signaling, and many of these are highly potent. These compounds are drawn from multiple classes of structurally diverse and tractable small-molecules, enabling the development of proprietary drugs that could restore function in patients faced with severely progressive or traumatic demyelinating neural disorders."
Ongoing GPCR Program
Omeros is screening orphan GPCRs against its small-molecule chemical libraries using its proprietary, high-throughput cellular redistribution assay (CRA). The CRA detects receptor antagonists, agonists and inverse agonists. Omeros has announced that it has identified and confirmed sets of compounds that interact selectively with 46 orphan receptors linked to metastatic melanoma (GPR19), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and obesity-related type-2 diabetes (GPR39), hepatocellular carcinoma (GPR80), several types of cancer (GPR65/TDAG8), squamous cell carcinoma (GPR87), ovarian cancer (GPR150), pancreatic cancer (GPR182), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (P2Y8/P2RY8), ovarian and prostate cancer (OGR1), arterial stiffness (GPR25), sleep disorders (OPN4), cognitive disorders (GPR12), torpor or "suspended animation" and bipolar disorder (GPR50), anxiety disorders (GPR31), schizophrenia (GPR52, GPR153), autism (GPR63), bipolar disorder and schizophrenia (GPR78), memory and inflammatory conditions (GPR83), psychotic and metabolic disorders (GPR27, GPR85, GPR173), cognition (GPR151), cognitive impairments (MAS1), inflammatory responses (GPR32), obesity and diabetes (GPR21), appetite control (GPR82, GPR101), immunological disorders (CCRL2), rheumatoid arthritis and HIV-mediated enteropathy (GPR15), respiratory and immune disorders (GPR141), humoral immunity (GPR183), multiple sclerosis (GPR17), osteoarthritis (GPR22), motor control (GPR139), congenital cataracts and birth defects of the brain and spinal cord (GPR161), regulation of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation (GPR171), cancer stem cells and the self-renewal and maintenance of adult stem cells (LGR4), long-term wound repair, including the formation of new hair follicles (LGR6) and pain (MRGE). In addition, Omeros has unlocked GPR20, GPR45, GPR135, GPR162, MRGF and OPN5, which have not yet been definitively tied to any specific indications but are expressed preferentially in the gastrointestinal tract (GPR20), brain (GPR45, GPR135 and GPR162) and eye, brain, testes, spinal cord (OPN5) and dorsal root ganglia (MRGF).
About G Protein-Coupled Receptors
GPCRs, which mediate key physiological processes in the body, are one of the most valuable families of drug targets. According to Insight Pharma Reports, GPCR-targeting drugs represent 30 to 40 percent of marketed pharmaceuticals. Examples include Claritin® (allergy), Zantac® (ulcers and reflux), OxyContin® (pain), Lopressor® (high blood pressure), Imitrex® (migraine headache), Reglan® (nausea) and Abilify® (schizophrenia, bipolar disease and depression) as well as all other antihistamines, opioids, alpha and beta blockers, serotonergics and dopaminergics.
The industry focuses its GPCR drug discovery efforts mostly on non-sensory GPCRs. Of the 363 total non-sensory GPCRs, approximately 240 have known ligands (molecules that bind the receptors) with nearly half of those targeted either by marketed drugs (46 GPCRs) or by drugs in development (about 82 GPCRs). There are approximately 120 GPCRs with no known ligands, which are termed "orphan GPCRs." Without a known ligand, drug development for a given receptor is extremely difficult.
Omeros uses its proprietary high-throughput CRA to identify small-molecule agonists and antagonists for orphan GPCRs, unlocking them to drug development. Omeros believes that it is the first to possess the capability to unlock orphan GPCRs in high-throughput, and that currently there is no other comparable technology. Unlocking these receptors could lead to the development of drugs that act at these new targets. There is a broad range of indications linked to orphan GPCRs including cardiovascular disease, asthma, diabetes, pain, obesity, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, learning and cognitive disorders, autism, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and several forms of cancer.

Enter Your E-Mail For the Complete Paul Ryan Hunting Interview
Enter your e-mail address below to read the complete Paul Ryan hunter interview. It's free, and you'll receive newsletters from Deer & Deer Hunting and its marketing partners.
Without a doubt, the Aug. 11 announcement of U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., as Mitt Romney's pick for the GOP Vice President spot immediately sent waves coursing throughout the outdoors community.
By Alan Clemons, Southern Managing Editor
Why? Simple. Paul Ryan is a diehard outdoorsman. He loves to hunt and get outside with his family.
He's from Wisconsin, where enjoying the outdoors seems to be entwined in everyone's DNA. Whether it's in the glorious summer months or the frigid snowy winters, hunting, fishing, paddling, camping and other outdoors activities are a way of life.
So when he was announced as Romney's running mate, the outdoors community went all a'twitter with the news of Paul Ryan bowhunting. Finally, someone in Washington who actually does hunt and fish, doesn't do it for show as a campaign stunt, and doesn't back down from it one bit.
Earlier this year when we were kicking around folks to contact for our "I'm A Deer Hunter" series, Deer & Deer Hunting editor Dan Schmidt mentioned the memorable Time magazine photo of Ryan in his Capitol Hill office with a bow. Ryan wanted to show his passion for hunting and contacted Jay McAninch with the Archery Trade Association to see if he could borrow a Mathews bow for the photo op.
Considering Paul Ryan deer hunter for "I'm A Deer Hunter" was a no-brainer. But the reality of contacting a high-profile member of Congress while it was in session was a concern. Asking for time for an interview with a non-political hunting magazine might be looked upon strangely and dismissed by Ryan's communications team, too.
But it never hurts to ask, right?
A request for an interview was made and we were told Ryan would love to talk when his schedule allowed. A few weeks later I was granted 15 minutes. Ryan was gracious, as I expected, and eager to discuss his love of the outdoors, bowhunting, how he got started and what he enjoys. When the 15 minutes ended, he said "Thanks very much" and hung up. I didn't mind a bit.
In almost 30 years of reporting I've interviewed some high-profile figures. Sometimes I've been nervous and other times it was like talking with an old friend. I believe if Ryan's schedule had allowed he could have talked for hours about hunting, bows and whatever else we hunters gab about. Hunting with his family? Fishing for walleyes or bass? Watching football?
I've always found that celebrities or notable figures enjoy talking about something other than their jobs. A few years ago a country music singer called from his tour bus rolling down the interstate for an interview and said, "Man, no one ever calls to talk with me about hunting or fishing." I think Ryan would have done the same if he could have.
What do we know about Paul Ryan hunter?
Now that we know Ryan is on the GOP ticket, what are some things we've learned about him in the last few days?
He's married and has three children. He grew up in Wisconsin and his family was in the construction business. Ryan worked in it and has some other blue-collar background, too: He worked in a Washington restaurant and also promoted Oscar Mayer "Lunchables." He got to drive the famous Wienermobile, too, which is cool.
Ryan is a big fitness buff, leading Congressional staffers and peers in P90X workouts. He's longtime friends with McAninch, of the Archery Trade Association, who had some kind words about Ryan's character.
Ryan shoots a Mathews Z7 Xtreme compound and loves the thrill of bowhunting, but also enjoys firearms and is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. Before he was announced as the VP candidate, he and Romney engaged in a little skullduggery that included Ryan skirting the media by going through the woods behind his house where he played as a child. Waiting for him was a Romney staffer to drive him to the airport and, eventually, to the announcement.
Paul Ryan's deer hunting this season most likely will be limited or possibly non-existent, depending on how November's election turns out. Ryan said he tries to get in some hunting trips on weekends when he's home in Wisconsin. This autumn, pounding the stump might curtail those quick hunts. Having a Secret Service team hanging around might not help, either.
"Deer strategy and habitat is just fascinating to me," he said in our interview. "I have a whole row of books about tactics, strategies and habitat, and I read several magazines. It's just a big hobby.
"I read about Chuck Adams, the first guy to get the Super Slam, which is pretty impressive. I don't know if I'll ever be able to try but one of my goals is to get a grand slam of sheep with a bow. It would be very tough and very expensive. But I'd love to do some of those great western hunts for sheep and deer."
We've also seen in the last few days the outpouring of opinions from the Republican and Democrat camps, from conservatives and liberals and independents, from anyone who can pound a keyboard on social media sites and personal blogs.
Ryan has been praised and pilloried, hailed and reviled. Pundits and the citizenry are starting their storms of love and vitriol. Already, during a campaign stop in Iowa, he was heckled by two women who were removed. More of that will come as the election approaches.
What else do we know about Paul Ryan deer hunting and as an outdoorsman? You'll have to wait for his exclusive interview in the new issue of Deer & Deer Hunting, which should be arriving next week and on newsstands the first week of September. Or, check back here on DeerandDeerHunting.com later to read his responses in the "I'm A Deer Hunter" feature.
"I'm just pretty typical for a Wisconsin guy. I love hunting and fishing," Ryan said. "Bowhunting is my passion. Studying the strategy, preparing food plots, the strategy of where a dominant buck is living or will be moving and then being in position to get a shot, that's really exciting. Half of it is getting ready for the shot."
Is Paul Ryan's bowhunting and outdoors passion enough to vote for him?
It should not be the sole reason, because an intelligent decision must be made for whichever candidate you think is best. From an outdoors standpoint, however, it's quite gratifying to see a true hunter, angler and lifelong outdoorsman on Capitol Hill.
If you want to read more about Paul Ryan hunting and his passion for bowhunting, including hunting's roots in his family, his first deer, and how he feels it is important to balance his love for the outdoors with his fiscal responsibilities for the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, watch for the October issue of Deer & Deer Hunting.
The issue arrives in mailboxes next week and is released on newsstands Sept. 4.

Who really is Jane Doe?
We're about to find out on "Blindspot," and it's going to change pretty much everything.
Jane's (Jaimie Alexander) relationship with Kurt (Sullivan Stapleton) has already been basically ruined by the reveal that she was not actually Kurt's childhood friend, Taylor Shaw. At the same time, Jane learned that she had orchestrated the whole thing--tattoos and all--on herself, but she still didn't know who she was.
"To Kurt, it was a huge betrayal," Stapleton told E! News during NBC's summer press tour. "He believes that she could have potentially known the whole time. So that's kind of hard-hitting, to be an FBI agent and have those beliefs that are wrong."
One new face this season is that of "The Good Wife's" Archie Panjabi, who makes her debut in tonight's premiere.
"She's an NSA operative who's been watching the Jane Doe case for about a year, and sees that there's a complete breakdown of trust with the revelation of Jane not being Taylor Shaw," Panjabi explained. "I come in and try to heal the wounds that are there."
The season two premiere opens with Jane in a CIA black site, with authorities still trying to figure out who she is and what she knows. We won't have to wait long, according to showrunner Martin Gero.
"If the first season was about who is Jane Doe, we want to answer those questions so we can move into what the second season is about, which I can't really tell you because it is a spoiler if I say what the theme is," he teased.
Of course, Jane won't want to stay at that CIA black site for long, and the team will be back together in some form or another in no time, but things will never be the same. You'll just have to tune into tonight's action-packed premiere to find out why!
"Blindspot" premieres tonight at 10 p.m. on NBC.

This week in Island history
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the
Jamestown Press. The news of 100 years ago came from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago From the Newport Daily News, Dec. 29, 1909
Although the timbers and blocking have not yet been taken from under the Catholic Church, mass will be held in the building on New Year's Day, and the Feast of the Circumcision observed.
From the Newport Daily News, Dec. 30, 1909
The telephone company has as yet been unable to spare any men to work on the local lines, and all communication the island has had since Christmas day with Newport and the mainland has been by the ferries.
75 years ago From the Newport Daily News, Dec. 28, 1934
The "Share Your Food Campaign" committee of the Jamestown Post, American Legion, reports that 15 baskets were made up and delivered the day before Christmas. This is in addition to the baskets given by the Elks, Salvation Army, D.A.R. and others. These supplies were equally distributed, and perishable articles such as meat, butter and bread were purchased with money contributed by the Red Cross, Jamestown Post, state department of the American Legion and other friends.

Jamestown this year relinquished its dubious distinction as the only community in the state to hold its annual municipal elections. By an 11 to 1 margin, with the approval of both parties, the electors adopted biennial elections. (Other news focused on water rates, town control of recreation spots, ferry rate reduction.)

J2K — the hottest island event ever. The buttons are going fast for the island's millennium New Year's Eve celebration. [Articles in the Press included one on town activities for the evening, a review of the previous 100 years with many photographs, a sampling of Jamestown news from 1873 to1899, and a timeline of Jamestown in the 20th century. Highlights of the year were summarized: water restrictions, the issue of a container port at Quonset, off-island solicitor hired, voters said no to a bike path on the old Jamestown Bridge, Southwest Avenue still under construction, landfill pollution examined, increase in mooring fee proposed, two major fires fought, bridge tokens were discounted for the first time, 1,500 islanders showed up for a Millennium portrait.

Sen. Ayotte wants U.S. military aid for UkraineBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 30. 2014 9:15PM
The United States would increase sanctions against Russia and provide small-arms weapons to Ukraine and other countries under legislation introduced Wednesday by several Republican U.S. senators, including Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire.
"The goal is basically to decrease the likelihood of a military conflict," Ayotte said.
The bill would expand economic sanctions by targeting individuals involved in last month's annexation of the Ukraine state of Crimea by Russia, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as several Russian banks, energy suppliers and a Russian arms dealer.
She labeled as "tepid" the current sanctions imposed by the administration of President Barack Obama, saying they have had no effect on the broader Russian economy and haven't slowed Russia's moves. On Tuesday, more government buildings in eastern Ukraine were seized by pro-Russian armed militants.
"My sense is Vladimir Putin is emboldened," Ayotte said.
The bill comes one month after Ayotte visited the troubled region. The bill authorizes Obama to provide up to $100 million in small arms anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons to Ukraine, but Ayotte said senators sponsoring the bill do not advocate a U.S. military "boots on the ground" approach.
"(The bill) provides, through tougher sanctions, an incentive for Russia to stop further aggression," she said.
The bill, though, may have a tough road, as the White House has already indicated in media reports that it would reserve such sanctions if Russia engages in more severe actions.
"My question is what is the administration waiting for? Are they waiting for full-fledged Russian troops over the border of Ukraine? Well, then it's too late," she said.

I was dx (+) about a year ago. My last counts were cd4 303/vl 26,285. My latest counts aren't ready yet. I tried taking Trizivir and experience extreme tiredness and chest tightness. I'm not on ay meds now. My next appt is next week. I'm aware of the side affects. I was tired before taking Trizivir but I could function. After starting i could do nothing I was so tired. Should I feel like this? Should I try taking a combo of something else? Sinced dx I haven't been sick. Just fatigue from time to time. Should I be seeing and ID Doc or Specialist?
Response from Dr. Pierone
Based on the side effects that you experienced, Trizivir is obviously not the right medication for you. However, there are three medications in Trizivir, and your side effects were most like related to the AZT (zidovudine, Retrovir) component. It is possible that you may do fine with 3TC (lamivudine, Epivir) or abacavir (Ziagen), the other 2 medications in Trizivir.
Based on your CD4 count, you are in the range that treatment should be considered. But actually starting depends on your life situation and readiness to embark on a treatment program. Anyone that starts therapy without a commitment to full adherence is not doing themselves any favors.
If you do decide to start treatment, you should be under the care of an HIV specialist. The original specialty of the doctor (or NP or PA) is not that important, but a commitment to keeping up with advances in HIV treatment is crucial. The days of a family doctor trying to manage a handful of HIV patients are over and good riddance.
In terms of what combo to be on, the preferred regimens from new guidelines suggest building the cocktail around either the protease inhibitor Kaletra or the NNRTI efavirenz (Sustiva). There is a lot of flexibility in treatment approaches, but clearly there has been a shift towards use of NNRTI-based regimens as first therapy in recent years.

You can't do this with Dailyastorian.com
The days of dogs bringing in the newspaper might be numbered — for reasons that have nothing at all to do with dogs — but until then there are those, like Nariz, who are eager to deliver.
Nariz, whose name comes from the Spanish word for nose, belongs to Deb and Roger Pyle, who get their local newspaper delivered to their home in Astoria, Oregon. Every afternoon, Nariz sticks her nose into the Pyles' newspaper box, pulls out The Daily Astorian and delivers it to her waiting owners in exchange for a cookie, reports — who else — The Daily Astorian.
"We didn't train her. She just likes to do stuff for us," Deb Pyle explained.
The Pyles' adopted the dog from the Clatsop County Animal Shelter when she was 10 months old.
"There was one day when she was acting like she wanted a job so I walked her out to the paper and put it in her mouth and then we walked back to the house together," Deb Pyle said. Next, Roger Pyle taught Nariz how to put her head in the newspaper box and remove the paper herself.
After that, Nariz expanded into mail delivery. "The mailman has learned that he can hand it over to her and she'll bring it to us," Deb Pyle said.

Now they can celebrate. A day after being foiled in their attempt to sweep Moose Club in the Waynesboro Youth League championship series, players from Waynesboro Construction hoisted the trophy after a tense 4-2 victory in Game 4 Wednesday night at Clayton South field.
WAYNESBORO — Now they can celebrate.
A day after being foiled in their attempt to sweep Moose Club in the Waynesboro Youth League championship series, players from Waynesboro Construction hoisted the trophy after a tense 4-2 victory in Game 4 Wednesday night at Clayton South field.
And, boy, did this series come close to a Game 5.
After the game, Waynesboro Construction manager Dan McCleaf, who was showered with cold water from the Gatorade bucket by players after the game, summarized the game in one word: "Relief."
"Moose played us tough," he said. "Alex (Miller) came through with a good outing and pitching out of trouble. I knew (Moose) wasn't going to let us walk away with it."
In point of fact, Moose came oh so close to at least forcing extra innings, if not winning. Trailing by two runs in the bottom of the sixth, Moose showed why it averted a sweep when it put two batters on base with two outs. Zachary Crider laid down a beautiful bunt and outran the throw for a single. Then, Tobiah Walizer, who had three hits in the game, doubled to put runners on second and third. But Miller, who struck out eight batters and walked none, struck out the next batter to end the game and send Wacco players into a joyful celebration near the team's dugout.
"We got our pitcher some runs to work with, and he made some outstanding pitches," said McCleaf of Miller, who also won Game 1 of the series. "They have some of the best hitters in the league."
Moose outhit Waynesboro Construction 9-5, including two doubles by Walizer. Moose left nine runners on base.
"We had our chances to win," said Moose manager Troy Witte. "It was a very good game — good pitching, good hitting and good defense."
The hero of the game had to be Wacco shortstop Paxton Shatzer, who launched a one-out, 2-run home run to center field in the fourth inning to provide a three-run cushion.
Each team traded a run before Construction took a 2-1 lead in the third inning. Cole Stouffer made it all the way to third base on a two-out error. After a walk to Owen McCleaf, Miller was the beneficiary of another miscue that allowed Stouffer to cross home plate for the run.
Moose almost got out of the inning without a scratch as first baseman Ethan Saunders and third baseman Walizer teamed up for a 3-5 double play.
Moose kept within arm's reach despite allowing seven base runners during the final two innings.
— In the fifth, Walizer fired a strike to catcher Nick McDermott to tag out a Wacco runner at the plate. Walizer made a nice scoop and throw for the final out of the inning after starting pitcher Hunter Brown struck out a batter and Wacco got base runners on with an infield hit (McCleaf) and a fiedler's choice (Miller).
— In the sixth, Construction couldn't convert a golden opportunity into runs as Brown pitched his way out of a bases-loaded jam. Maloy threw to Walizer for a force out for the first out of the inning. With the bases loaded, Maloy snagged a line drive and Saunders caught a pop up to end the inning.
Meanwhile, Miller had some troubles of his own, which ended with the winning pitcher breathing a sigh of relief.
— In the bottom of the first, the first three hitters got on base, including a double by Walizer, a single from Maloy an error allowing McDermott to reach second. With runners on second and third, Miller fanned back to back batters and after a hit batsman loaded the bases, Miller ended the threat with another strikeout.
— In the bottom of the third, the Wacco defense recorded consecutive force outs to eliminate two potential runs from being scored. The inning ended with runners on first and third.
— In the bottom of the fourth, Moose staged a two-out rally when Crider singled, advanced to second on a Walizer single, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on a base hit by Maloy to make the score 4-2. Shatzer made a nice play on a sharp ground ball to throw out the next batter and end the inning.
While Shatzer had the highlight moment of the game, there was no doubt the bottom of the sixth put some gray hairs on even the players.
"It's always tough (being the away team), knowing they could win it in the bottom of the sixth," McCleaf said. "You're never sure of a win."

Standing in a forest of sinuous, black totems spiraling into the lofty heights of the main room at Ace Gallery Beverly Hills, Herb Alpert is surrounded by an art form he has practiced for the last two decades — sculpture. By his account and that of those who know him, he's a man who lives on the right side of his brain — he percolates on the creative and the intuitive.
"I do something every day, whether sculpting or painting," he says. "It definitely feeds my spirit when I sculpt or paint or blow the horn, that's an essential part of my being."
Herb Alpert: An article about musician-artist Herb Alpert in Sunday's Arts & Books section said that his foundation has given away nearly $100 million over 20 years. The total is more than $100 million, the foundation says. —
He also believes that others should have a chance for self-expression through the arts, as well as positive standards of living, and to that end he has given away nearly $100 million over 20 years.
At 75, his art practice and his arts philanthropy keep him busy. Just this spring, he read an account of the imminent demise of the venerable Harlem School of the Arts because of lack of funding. Since the early 1960s the New York institution has provided training in music, dance, theater and the visual arts to mostly underprivileged kids.
Alpert quickly called Rona Sebastian, the head of his foundation. "Unbelievable," he said, and set her to seeing what they could do about it. She approached New York's Department of Cultural Affairs, and in two weeks the Herb Alpert Foundation was able to offer a half million dollar matching grant — it saved the school.
Yes, he's the man better known for wielding his trumpet, mellifluously leading the Tijuana Brass in the 1960s in such tunes as "A Taste of Honey" and "What Now My Love."
When Alpert was 8, he picked up the trumpet and knew it would be his musical partner for life. The painting came some two decades later. "When I was touring in the '60s with my group, I used to go to museums," he recalls. "It seems like I was always going to the Modern art section." A low-key, soft-spoken man, he sports combed back gray hair and a light beard, and wears a black T-shirt he has hand-painted.
"I had a feeling I might move some paint around and have a good time," he says. "I started with acrylics. I wasn't crazy about the smell of oil paints, and I wanted to work quicker." He was naturally drawn to abstract forms, and he picked up some technique from his friend artist Les Biller. Biller gave him valuable advice — he thought his paintings were too "center-conscious." "And it kind of freed me," he says.
This need to keep moving, ahead or in different directions, seems to pump Alpert's creative juices. As he continued to paint, he also became interested in making three-dimensional work. Twenty years ago he learned from sculptor Kristan Marvell how to handle clay.
"Once I put my hand on the clay, I was hooked," he says. "It's a very sensual feeling, you can work very quickly if the clay is cooperating." First he made small pieces a few inches tall, then he made pieces several feet tall. "I had people help me build the armature," he says, "but I would work the clay myself."
All this began in his kitchen, he says with a laugh, "which my wife wasn't crazy about." Especially when he used a blowtorch to soften wax pieces. His wife is singer Lani Hall, with whom he released an album last year, "Anything Goes: Herb Alpert & Lani Hall Live." He also has an album coming out this fall, "I Feel You."
"When I ran out of space in the kitchen, I realized I needed a studio," he says. They built one on their property in Malibu. "And we're running out of space there. I just rented a storage space where I could put my molds." The works in "Black Totems," the current show, are made of bronze coated with a soft black patina, and reach up to 18 feet high. They are cast at a local foundry and require several molds each.
Alpert has been making these "totems" for a decade. He was inspired by seeing totems created by Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest, and also by the tall, gnarly "scholar's rocks" prized by traditional Chinese literati, such as those in the Chinese Garden at the Huntington. "There was a progression, I started making them larger and larger," he says. "As they go up, there are parts I change from the original concept. I like to keep that spontaneity — to me it's like jazz."
While his sculptures are abstract, they do suggest organic forms twisting in space, segments piled atop one another. "[E]ach one is an aspiration toward the heavens," critic Peter Clothier recently wrote in the Huffington Post, "an expression of the enduring, deeply human need to be one with nature and our fellow-travelers on this planet, and at the same time to integrate with some power beyond our fragile, temporal existence."
Alpert is reluctant to say what he sees in the work, not wanting to influence how others see. However, several are topped with distinctly bird-like forms, perched or about to take flight, and as his eye looks around, he admits, "Here's the head of a double bass fiddle, and this one is called the maestro, the conductor of the orchestra."
Writing checks
Such creativity and intuition have also guided Alpert's philanthropy, which is exercised through the Herb Alpert Foundation. Two years ago, Parade magazine published the Giving Back Fund's rating of celebrity generosity — Alpert was ranked second ($13 million in annual giving), after Oprah Winfrey ($50 million) and ahead of Barbra Streisand ($11 million). For Alpert, that generosity comes naturally. "I feel that giving is a breeding ground for receiving," he says.
Although the foundation was established in 1988, president Sebastian says it really got off the ground a couple years later; 1990 is also the year he and business partner Jerry Moss sold A&M Records to Polygram for a reported $460 million. In 1962 they had founded A&M to produce albums for the Tijuana Brass; the company also successfully took on a slate of other talents including the Carpenters, Cheech and Chong, Joan Baez and Janet Jackson. When they sold the business, A&M was the largest independently owned record label in the world.
The foundation is located in Santa Monica, sharing a modest-sized building with some of the founder's other enterprises. His paintings — colorful abstract works made with bold swatches of paint — dot the walls.
Sebastian oversees a small, tightly-knit staff. Their grants fall into two main categories — arts and arts education, and compassion and well-being. In the last four years under her watch, they've given away $10 million to $20 million a year. That's included grants to institutions such as UCLA to organize its music program under the Herb Alpert School of Music and to the California State Summer School for the Arts to help run their summer program at CalArts.
Every year five individual artists and performers are selected for the Alpert Award in the Arts, which comes with a $75,000 grant. According to the program's 2009 brochure, the award is given to "experimenters who are challenging and transforming art, their respective disciplines, and society." Last year that included video artist Paul Chan, composer-musician John King and choreographer Reggie Wilson.
"We're a proactive foundation," Sebastian says. "Some foundations have guidelines and wait for people to apply. We go out and seek projects we think need to be funded."
One major Los Angeles arts institution, P.S. Arts, grew out of a chance meeting between Alpert and Paul Cummins, then headmaster of Crossroads School in Santa Monica. They were at a potluck dinner for parents and commiserated over the stripping away of arts education from public schools. "Herb was appalled and said, 'Is there something we can do about it?'" recalls Cummins, who already had ideas for a model program.
The Alpert Foundation pitched in with a grant for $600,000 over three years. That launched P.S. Arts at Broadway Elementary in Venice, the first of 22 schools where they would establish a weekly arts curriculum. That number includes seven schools in the Lawndale elementary school district and eight in LAUSD. Later came more aid totaling $3.1 million, and the Foundation will soon be announcing a grant to help them go the next step: to establish an endowment.
"He's one of the more extraordinary men I've ever met," says Cummins, now running his own foundation. "Not only his generosity, but his willingness to take risks, and to look at a problem and say, Let's fix it.'"
The CalArts Community Arts Partnership has been another recipient of Alpert's generosity. The program sends CalArts students, led by teachers and alumni, into 60 neighborhoods across L.A. County to teach the visual and performing arts. "I believe it was in 1992 that Alpert visited our jazz and world music program at the Watts Tower," says Glenna Avila, CAP's director. "We were training young high school students, and his initial scholarships helped students come to CalArts." Avila praises the foundation for being responsive to their needs. "They are now involved in program support, and they gave us a huge challenge grant in 2008 — they offered $1 million to help build our endowment."
"I just have to say," she adds, "what better way of leaving a legacy than assisting young artists in pursuit of their artistic dreams?"
Alpert himself is modest about his philanthropy — in this instance anyway, he lets others toot his horn. "I want to give back — I've been awfully blessed," he says quietly. "I had the opportunity to spread my good fortune and I wanted to do that in a very conscious way."
