Reports from Utah State University describe recent advances in antibiotics Project: 2011 Date: 1/11/2011 Media Type: Print Tone: Positive Outlet: Life Science Weekly Journalist: n/a City: Atlanta State: GA

A report, 'Antibacterial to antifungal conversion of neamine aminoglycosides through alkyl modification. Strategy for reviving old drugs into agrofungicides,' is newly published data in The Journal of Antibiotics. "Many Actinomycetes aminoglycosides are widely used antibiotics. Although mainly antibacterials, a few known aminoglycosides also inhibit yeasts, protozoans and important crop pathogenic fungal oomycetes," scientists writing in the Journal of Antibiotics report (see also ).

"Here we show that attachment of a C8 alkyl chain to ring III of a neamine-based aminoglycoside specifically at the 4?-o position yields a broad- spectrum fungicide (FG08) without the antibacterial properties typical for aminoglycosides. Leaf infection assays and greenhouse studies show that FG08 is capable of suppressing wheat fungal infections by Fusarium graminearum-the causative agent of Fusarium head blight-at concentrations that are minimally phytotoxic. Unlike typical aminoglycoside action of ribosomal protein translation miscoding, FG08's antifungal action involves perturbation of the plasma membrane. This antibacterial to antifungal transformation could pave the way for the development of a new class of aminoglycoside-based fungicides suitable for use in crop disease applications," wrote C.W. Chang and colleagues, Utah State University.

The researchers concluded: "In addition, this strategy is an example of reviving a clinically obsolete drug by simple chemical modification to yield a new application."

Chang and colleagues published their study in the Journal of Antibiotics (Antibacterial to antifungal conversion of neamine aminoglycosides through alkyl modification. Strategy for reviving old drugs into agrofungicides. Journal of Antibiotics, 2010;63(11):667-72).

ARMY SUPPORTERS AT BOWL GAME SOAR WITH KNIGHTS Project: 2011 Date: 1/11/2011 Media Type: Newswire Tone: Positive Outlet: US Federal News Journalist: n/a City: National State: n/a

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Jan. 11 -- The U.S. Army issued the following news release:

Community leaders from around the U.S. gained a new perspective of the U.S. Army last week from 13,500 feet above this south Texas city.

The Golden Knights supported the U.S. Army All-American Bowl by accomplishing 47 tandem jumps Jan. 5-7 for distinguished guests of U.S. Army Accessions Command that were here for the game and other bowl week activities.

"It was the most exuberant thing I've done in my life," said Bobby Singleton, an Alabama state senator from Tuscaloosa who had two players from his district playing in the game. "I wasn't nervous. I thought I would be when I hit that door, but it was really, really - I'm overwhelmed from the experience. I thank the Golden Knights and the Army for giving me this opportunity because, hey, I'm Army Strong."

Golden Knight Staff Sgt. Aaron Figel was thankful for the mild weather that allowed the team to accomplish nearly 50 free falls in three days.

"I would say they were having the time of their life," he said of the cross-section of Army supporters. "They get about 30 to 40 seconds of freefall and about 30 seconds of fun."

Michelle Flinton works with the Family Career and Community Leaders of America in Manassas, Va., and came to San Antonio looking to gain more information for students.

"One of the reasons I am here is to learn what Army programs are available, which ones are similar to ours, and how do we make them work together," she said. "There are so many opportunities for our students, especially when they are looking for careers, so it's going to be a good fit when looking for college and career readiness."

Flinton said she gave very little thought to jumping out of an airplane.

"It was really fun. A little nauseous at the end, but it was great," she said with a laugh.

"This will be one of those bucket list check marks before I turn 50. I just appreciate being here and the opportunity."

Gus McCoy of the Metro Youth Initiative in Jackson, Miss., said, "this was an once-in-a-lifetime experience that I'll never forget."

"Instant excitement, but at the same time you still feel safe," McCoy added. "It scared the devil out of me. This was my first time ever to think about doing something like this. The thing is it really doesn't hit you until you're standing in the door. Then they're telling you to smile, and you're like, smile at what?"

Figel believes he has seen every reaction possible during his time with the Knights.

"The scariest part I'd say for the passenger is that first initial step out of the airplane. It's like the first drop on a rollercoaster, like 'Oh, my God, what's going to happen?'" Figel said.

"It's really a thrill to take somebody who's never been before. It's like you just opened a new chapter in their life. Like you just woke them up from a dream."

Private pilot Tim Williamson volunteers in Phoenix with Army Reserve family support units and after his jump planned on a new purchase.

"That was good. I'm going to have to buy a parachute," he said after touching down. "I already have the plane; I just need the parachute. The best part was dive-bombing down, that was great."

The president of American Steel Corporation and member of Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve said he cherished networking with troops during U.S. Army All-American Bowl week.

"It's going to be overwhelming because there's so much to look at and see," Williamson said. "But the best part for me is just meeting the Army guys and talking to them. Usually their passion for what they're doing is so incredible. The best reward I get is just seeing that they enjoy doing what they're doing."

Dr. James Morales, vice president for student services at Utah State University, appreciated the opportunities to jump and learn more about the Army.

"That was an incredible experience. I can't believe it," Morales said after landing. "That's what the birds do, they get up there and glide and fly and enjoy it. This is once in a lifetime - wonderful."

The tandem jump was a bonus as his primary during U.S. Army All-American Bowl week was to "learn more about the programs the Army has going so that I can better promote those opportunities to our students back on campus."

CURT ROBERTS JOINS UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY AS ASSOCIATE VP FOR COMMERCIALIZATION AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Project: 2011 Date: 1/11/2011 Media Type: Newswire Tone: Positive Outlet: US Federal News Journalist: n/a City: National State: n/a

LOGAN, Utah, Jan. 11 -- Utah State University issued the following news release:

Utah State University's Office of Commercialization and Regional Development hired Curt Roberts as associate vice president for commercialization and regional development.

"Curt's addition to the USU team is a significant step towards creating new opportunities in USU's ongoing quest to expand and enhance its commercial ventures," said Vice President for Commercialization and Regional Development Robert Behunin.

Since 2007, Roberts served a dual appointment as vice provost for innovation and economic development at Weber State University and as the USTAR (Utah Science, Technology and Research) initiative regional technology outreach director. Roberts' efforts have resulted in the development of numerous products, patents, licenses and business plans for more than 50 early stage entrepreneurial ventures.

Before relocating to Utah in 2007, Roberts served as a senior executive at NIKE where he led the global strategic planning for five teams after which he led NIKE's Vision, Timing and Techlab. Under Roberts's leadership, NIKE realized substantial gains and the generation of new business platforms.

"I'm very excited to be joining a great commercialization team at USU," Roberts said. "The university has a very strong intellectual property portfolio and some of the best researchers in the world. I'm confident we will be able to establish deep partnerships with industry and increase the university's economic impact in the state of Utah."

USU President Stan Albrecht is enthusiastic about the addition of Roberts to the USU commercialization team.

"Curt's USTAR experience and his private sector experience will lend a new dynamic to USU's efforts," Albrecht said. "Paring Curt with Rob Behunin and the others on the commercialization team will bring new opportunities to USU and to the state of Utah."

Behunin is quick to out that Roberts is the first to be named in the overall reorganization strategy for USU's commercialization efforts. Behunin was named vice president for commercialization and regional development in September 2010 and assumed the post Jan. 3 of 2011.

Roberts will transition from his Weber State and USTAR assignments to USU over the next 45 days and will assume his USU post Feb. 16. For any query with respect to this article or any other content requirement, please contact Editor at [email protected]

After battling cancer, D.J. Marshall eager to return to football Project: 2011 Date: 1/11/2011 Media Type: Print Tone: Positive Outlet: Dallas Morning News, The Journalist: Mark Dent City: Dallas State: TX

Jan. 11--David Marshall sets his iPhone on the coffee table and points to a photo album titled "Return to Normalcy." The thumbnails of 26 photos of his son, D.J. Marshall, wait on the screen. They are images of scars and hospital gowns and chemo-induced fatigue; they are frozen moments of a young, athletic body battered and broken.

You glance, and you wonder: Where is the normalcy?

"I don't know if you've ever been in one of those situations where it's like you're really optimistic going into it," says D.J., a Mesquite graduate, "but some things are easier said than done."

Life for D.J. like so many others in North Texas, has been intertwined with helmets and pads and the worn leather of a football since childhood. By his senior year at Mesquite in 2007-08, Rivals.com had given a solid three-star rating as a defensive end, and he chose the University of Kansas. For a year he redshirted. The fall of 2009 would mark his opportunity, his arrival.

And he couldn't get on the field.

His weight had plummeted from 240 pounds to the 220s. He awoke at nights, his bed sheets glistening in sweat. A bump swelled on his neck.

Team doctors were clueless, and coaches lambasted him for partying too hard. Other doctors in Lawrence and Dallas performed tests that came back without answers.

One more test. It was November 2009. The phone rang. The vaguely familiar voice of a Lawrence doctor greeted David Marshall. He passed the phone to his son, who was sitting in the car along with his mother, Heather.

The doctor told D.J. he had Hodgkin's lymphoma. The cancer lurked in its early stages, so survival was highly likely, but one other thing.

"Forget playing football ever again," the doctor said.

They cried -- not because of football, but because of the fear and uncertainty. Quickly, the Marshalls sought care, choosing the Cancer Treatment of America Center in Tulsa.

Every other weekend, D.J. drove from Lawrence to Tulsa, where he would meet his father. D.J. endured 12 sessions of chemotherapy, his cells pulverized in eight-hour blocks.

About halfway through the therapy sessions, D.J. and David ate at a Chick-fil-A. D.J. was now confident he would make it through his ordeal, but he questioned his desire to return to football.After enduring the cancer treatment, he wasn't sure if he had the desire for more hurt on the field.

"If you're done with it and you're satisfied with it, then walk away from it," his father responded. "If you have a little itch and you don't know yet, go out there and see if you still want to do it."

D.J.'s cancer entered remission and, after a pesky lung infection in the summer, he was healthy. He thought about football. Former KU coach Mark Mangino had been calling almost weekly to catch up, his friends and teammates Joe Semple and Brandon Hawks kept asking about a comeback, his brother was starting his freshman year at Utah State, an eighth-grader from North Carolina with cancer sent letters asking for advice -- he wanted to play for himself and for all of them.

One day, David jogged with D.J. around the neighborhood and left him breathless. This would take time.

Back at school, D.J. hopped on a stationary bike, pedaling at KU practices for 30 minutes at a time. In the weight room, he struggled to bench press 200 pounds at first but two months later was back to 360.

The muscles remembered. He could do this.

D.J. has progressed far enough that he wants to practice for the entire spring and hopes to compete for a starting spot at defensive end.

"I want to get bigger, faster and stronger," he says.

In early November, he wore a helmet and shorts for KU practices. For the next two weeks, he added shoulder pads.

The last week came. A season unwinding and the holidays arriving.

David drove to Lawrence to watch. He wanted to videotape so Heather could see her son, but they told him he couldn't record practice.

David pulled out his iPhone secretly, holding it at waist level, and recorded. When it was his turn. D.J. burst out of his stance and, pop, he knocked an offensive lineman 3 yards back. "He was handling the guy in front of him," David says.

The clip is saved on the phone, a dynamic portrayal of normalcy with plans for more to come.

-- A cancer of the lymphatic system in which abnormal cells spread beyond the system. The body's defense against infection weakens.

-- Unknown causes. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, swelling of lymph nodes

-- High survival rate. Commonly treated with chemotherapy, radiation or stem cell transplant

All for the love of their sport; The athletes, fundraisers, commentators, enthusiasts who inspire us all Project: 2011 Date: 1/11/2011 Media Type: Print Tone: Positive Outlet: Vancouver Province (Canada) Journalist: Terry Bell City: Vancouver State: BC

Trevor Linden went out on the ice and did it. Tom Larscheid sat in the broadcast booth and told everyone about it.

So it was fitting Monday morning that the pair of Vancouver Canucks icons went into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame together, members of a 2011 class that is as distinguished as it is eclectic.

There's Linden, the 19-year NHLer who spent all or part of 16 of those season with the Vancouver Canucks. And there's Larscheid, who came to Vancouver in 1962 from Utah State to be a running back with the CFL's B.C. Lions. He played two seasons and then spent parts of five decades in the broadcast booth as a colour commentator with the Lions and the Canucks.

Larscheid was selected in the media category. Linden is joined in the athletes category by West Vancouver snowboarder Maelle Ricker, a 2010 Olympic gold medallist, Victoria's Gait brothers, Gary and Paul, who ruled lacrosse for years, and North Vancouver alpine skier Laura Woolstencroft, who won five gold medals at the 2010 Paralympic Games.

"It's a big honour," said Linden, who has called B.C. home for 25 years. 'I recognize the amount of talent this province has produced so to be a part of that is very special. I'm a huge sports fan and I have a great deal of appreciation for the abundance of talent in all sports that B.C. has produced.'

Five B.C. members of Canada's men's Olympic gold medal hockey team were selected. They are Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo, Brent Seabrook () and (Penticton), retired Anaheim Duck Scott Niedermayer (Cranbrook) and Nashville Predator Shea Weber (Sicamous).

Mike Jones, a founder of the Burnaby Mountain Wrestling Club -- 13 Olympic and world championship medals -- and figure skating official Audrey Williams of Vancouver were named as builders.

Vancouver's Marty Zlotnik, a tireless fundraiser, enters in the W.A.C. Bennett category.

And then there's the 1933 Chinese Students Soccer Team, new members in the pioneer category. No longer with us but survived by numerous family members, these players served as beacons of hope for their community at time when the Chinese people were often treated like second-class citizens.

For Linden it's gratifying to be going in along with Larscheid, a man who spent 33 years in the booth doing Canucks games before retiring from Team 1040 over the summer.

"We all miss Tommy," said Linden. "He's just such a unique personality. He's a wonderful guy. He was an incredible football player himself and he's been synonymous with football and hockey in this province for a long time. I didn't know until today that we were both being inducted.'

Larscheid, incredibly, admitted Monday to being at a loss for words. And then he gushed.

"It's a terrific honour," he said. "It is probably, when I think about it, the greatest honour of my life. I am in the Hall of Fame in the university I went to, but that was three years of my life as a football player. To be recognized for your body of work in a city that you've come to live in, to love -- and eventually become a Canadian citizen because you love Canadians and you love the city -- I've made it my home. To be recognized like I am today, it's just over the moon for me.

"I know I'm a guy who calls it the way it is and I'm calling it the way it is right now. I want to say thank you to everybody who has ever listened and to all the guys I've worked with in the broadcast industry. I wouldn't be here without their help, that's for sure.

"I'm so humbled by this and so excited at the same time."

He was also pleased to be inducted along with Linden.

"Isn't that neat," Larscheid said. "He's been inducted in everything ... the Order of Canada (2010), the Order of B.C. (2003), his sweater has been retired. He is 'the man' when it comes to a sports figure in our city. Just to be mentioned with him and be part of this induction class, is so, so very, very good. Did you ever think Larscheid would be speechless? Well, I kinda am. It's indescribable.'

These inductees will be formally inducted on Sept. 13 at the 43rd annual Banquet of Champions at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
