Lady, Bed And Stink Bugs Sweep Yosties
Well, if you didn't win a Yostie Award last week, here's your final chance for this year so, cross your fingers, say a little prayer and read onBiggest celebrity coup by the Greensboro Coliseum. It was a good year for the Coliseum, and they brought in Prince, Taylor Swift, the Beach Boys, Bill Maher and a host of others. If the great Charlie Sheen had made it to town, the race in this category might have been close, but, as it is, the winner, by a mile, is Twiggy the water-skiing squirrel.
Yostie for the saddest store closing. After 23 years of existence, and much excellent free publicity in this newspaper and this column, the Golden Gate Harris Teeter is closing. Harris Teeter is closing down all of their smaller stores because they want to force me to navigate their giant mega-stores, such as the world-famous Teeter-Dome built a few years ago at the new Shops at Friendly Center.
The "Please God, I don't want to go to heaven I want to end up in the other place" despicable crime of the year award. Last year, this award went to the low-life criminals who defaced the statue of Andy Griffith of all people I mean, who does that?
This year, it goes to the thieves who, in March, stole 158 vases off the graves at High Point Floral Garden Cemetery. The vases, which sat on the headstones of the dead, were valued at a total of $31,000.
That may sound like a good take for an easy crime but, trust me, it's a small price for your eternal soul.
Yostie for the strangest robbery in the triad. In February, not one, but two, Reidsville taxidermies were broken into and, between the two taxidermists, thieves stole over 30 sets of deer antlers of all things.
The antlers, stolen from Broken Arrow Taxidermy and Nature's Creation, were from whitetail bucks and were being prepared for mounting.
"I couldn't believe someone would break in and steal deer antlers," Jamie Revis, owner of Nature's Creation, told Fox 8 News shortly after the robberies. "You've already got a spot picked out on your wall for this thing to go and then somebody comes in and decides to take it away from you."
Biggest fizzle-out/let-down ending for a wildly anticipated event finale (national events category). Oprah Winfrey, for her sign-off show.
Despite the massive promotional campaign that lasted for several months leading up to her final show, I forgot the show was on that Wednesday afternoon.

Collins Comments on Complementary Translational Research « Medical ...
Not surprisingly, he uses the Human Genome Project as the historical parallel of his new paradigm-shifting initiative and the untapped opportunities from GWAS to identify new drug targets. A better parallel might have been NCCAM, in that the approach (complementary/alternative) rather than the underlying disorder/biological system is the focus. He then notes that:
It would be nice to know who these stakeholders were and the precompetitive transparent process by which they selected the 10 programmatic priorities covered by Collins: therapeutic target validation, chemistry, virtual drug design, preclinical toxicology, biomarkers, efficacy testing, phase zero clincal trials, rescuing and repurposing, clinical trial design, and postmarketing research. Now, these areas are interesting points of focus in terms of improving the efficiency of the development process … but they are already being pursued in the absence of NCATS and could have worked as Roadmap initiatives, which would have benefited from the expertise, resources, and strategic priorities of all the ICs.
He is a little less clear, still, explaining how NCATS will work with and facilitate (versus replace) industry efforts at drug development. Early on, he lays out the threat facing private research and development:
Collins identifies the “middle zone” of translational research (“assessment of … potential to lead to a clinical advance; development of candidate diagnostics, devices, or therapeutics; optimization of the candidates in preclinical settings; regulatory assessment of the data to determine the potential for human use”) as the bottleneck industry cannot overcome alone:
The development of systematic approaches for target validation, the reengineering of rate-limiting and failure-prone steps in the therapeutic development process, and the urgent need to increase the critical mass of well-trained individuals to drive innovations are among the various translational challenges that are ill-suited for solutions derived solely from the private sector.
Why creating a new center at the cost of a well-functioning center (NCRR) was required is not addressed … in fact, NCRR is never mentioned. Collins remains confident the “whole” of NCATS will be greater than the sum of its existing parts. The one new program, if the amended NIH budget (NCATS added, NCRR subtracted) is approved by Congress, the Cure Acceleration Network (CAN), remains poorly defined. His table refers to CAN as supporting “translational solutions to high-need medical problems” with “much-needed flexible funding authorities” … and a lot more money per award (up to $15M) made to “academic and private-sector consortia, with such projects managed “actively and aggressively by using mechanisms similar to those used by DARPA.” Hmm.
