    59th Primetime Emmys Winners Revealed Sopranos, 30 Rock Take Top Series Honors September 16, 2007—A notorious crime family, a fictional sketch-comedy show, an iconic singer and a female British detective were among the big winners at the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards, which took place at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles and was telecast on the Fox network. Host for the ceremony was American Idol host Ryan Seacrest. Other highlights included a 30th anniversary tribute to a groundbreaking miniseries and a moving musical send-off to one of the most celebrated series in television history. Among the twenty-nine categories honored, NBC topped the list with seven wins. ABC and HBO followed closely with six winged statuettes each. Combined with their awards at last Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmys, the three networks led for the year as well: HBO earned twenty-one, NBC nineteen and ABC ten. CBS, which won one award on the night, also earned a total of ten between the two shows. The Sopranos, HBO’s acclaimed production about the travails of a New Jersey Mob boss and his intertwined biological and criminal families, took the prize for Outstanding Drama Series, and 30 Rock, NBC’s look at the backstage activity at a late-night sketch- comedy show, was named Outstanding Comedy Series. The Sopranos, the NBC special Tony Bennett: An American Classic, the AMC miniseries Broken Trail and the PBS Masterpiece Theatre production Prime Suspect: The Final Act led the recipients of multiple awards with three each.

  • National MPS Society 2011 Annual Report
    annual 2011 report NATIONAL MPS SOCIETY MISSION The National MPS Society exists to find cures for MPS and related diseases. We provide hope and support for affected individuals and their families through research, advocacy and awareness of these devastating diseases. MPS CLASSIFICATIONS Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) and related diseases are genetic lysosomal storage diseases caused by the body’s inability to produce specific enzymes. Normally, the body uses enzymes to break down and recycle materials in cells. In individuals with MPS and related diseases, the missing or insufficient enzyme prevents the proper recycling process, resulting in the storage of materials in virtually every cell of the body. As a result, cells do not perform properly and may cause progressive damage throughout the body, including the heart, bones, joints, respiratory system and central nervous system. While the disease may not be apparent at birth, signs and symptoms develop with age as more cells become damaged by the accumulation of cell materials. Syndrome Enzyme Deficiency MPS I Hurler, Scheie, Hurler-Scheie a-L-Iduronidase MPS II Hunter Iduronate sulfatase MPS III A Sanfilippo A Heparan N-sulfatase MPS III B Sanfilippo B a-N-Acetylglucosaminidase MPS III C Sanfilippo C Acetyl CoA: a-glycosaminide acetyltransferase MPS III D Sanfilippo D N-Acetylglucosamine 6-sulfatase MPS IV A Morquio A Galactose 6-sulfatase MPS IV B Morquio B bGalactosidase MPS VI Maroteaux-Lamy N-Acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase (arylsulfatase B) MPS VII Sly b-Glucuronidase MPS IX Hyaluronidase ML II/III I-Cell, Pseudo-Hurler N-acetylglucosamine-1-polydystrophy phosphotransferase National MPS Society PO Box 14686 / Durham, NC 27709-4686 t: 877.MPS.1001 / p: 919.806.0101 / f: 919.806.2055 e-mail: [email protected] / web: www.mpssociety.org collaboration 01 WHEN WE THINK ABOUT shows joint commitment to our updates, in addition to mentoring COLLABORATION, the focus goal to cure MPS and related new MPS organizations, provides of this year’s Annual Report, diseases.

They had their own sound, an eerie glamour surrounding a dark whimsicality, yet fans flocked to them throughout the '80s and '90s. Commercial or cult favorites, they're impressive as being one of the '80s' seminal bands who culled more than 30 critical singles. Compilations like 1986's Staring at the Sea: The Singles and 1997's Galore showcased the Cure's accessibility; therefore, having a solid greatest-hits collection might be a bit nonessential. Then again, releasing an album like this at the tip of the new millennium calls for a celebration, and that's what the Cure did.
