Kathy Ward, general counsel for the sheriff’s office, said the board would also hear grievanc- es from personnel and suggest recommenda- tions on how to deal with each issue. She said the idea is to allow a group not connected to Sumter County government to hold grievance hearings for sheriff’s office and detention cen- ter employees. Grievance hearings will be held in executive session unless the person who issued the griev- ance requests an open hearing, she said. The sheriff or a representative appointed by the sheriff will also attend the hearing, she said. The board members were also reminded that they must attend at least 20 hours of training SEE CITIZENS BOARD, PAGE A8 8 killed by N.Y.

The man underwent surgery and was in critical condition but was expected to survive. Officials who were not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke on the condition of anonymity identified the attacker as 29-year- old Sayfullo Saipov and said he is from Uzbeki- stan and came to the U.S. legally in 2010. He has a Florida driver’s license but may have been staying in New Jersey, they said. The driver barreled along the bike path in a rented Home Depot truck for the equivalent of about 14 blocks, or around eight-tenths of a mile, before slamming into a small yellow school bus. The mayhem and the burst of police gunfire set off panic in the neighborhood and left the pavement strewn with mangled bicycles and bodies that were soon covered with sheets. “I saw a lot of blood over there. A lot of peo- ple on the ground,” said Chen Yi, an Uber driv- er. SEE ATTACK, PAGE A8 VISIT US ONLINE AT DEATHS, B5 WEATHER, A10 INSIDE Edward S. Whitesides Mary M.

  • 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.
