Liquor license for Babe’s, Dive Bar and a BP all at risk
After alleged shootings, fights, overdoses and over-the-counter drug sales, police and the Cincinnati Legal Department are working to have the liquor licenses of three local businesses revoked.
City Council on Wednesday voted unanimously to oppose the renewal of liquor licenses for Babe’s Cafe on Glenmore in Westwood and the BP gas station on Glenway Avenue in East Price Hill. A vote on the objection to the Dive Bar license on Short Vine Street in Corryville will likely take place later this month.
Under Ohio law, municipal governments can object to the state regarding the renewal of liquor licenses held in their jurisdictions. Tuesday’s public safety and governance committee meeting was the first step of many in the process.
After the board passes the objections, further decisions rest with the Division of Liquor Control and the State Liquor Control Board. Licensees also have the ability to appeal.
Why is the City involved in the renewal of liquor permits?
Opposing liquor licenses is one of the tools cities use to reduce crime. Cincinnati’s Pivot program, which uses data to target crime hotspots, can draw the attention of many city departments to an area. From liquor licenses to building code violations, the tactic is aimed at reducing the number of places in the city that harbor drug dealers and other criminals.
Each of the places where objections are being considered were discussed at the public safety and governance committee on Tuesday.
A killing and drugs, but new owners
The BP service station on the corner of Glenway and Warsaw in East Price Hill has been a problem for years, according to Sheila Rosenthal, president of the East Price Hill Improvement Association.
“This company, in our view, has had a greater impact than its own footprint in the community, and a negative impact,” Rosenthal said.
On December 19, 28-year-old Lacey Florence was killed at the gas station in a shooting that also injured another man. Jwan McCloud of East Price Hill was arrested in the homicide.
sergeant. Jacob Hicks of the Cincinnati Police Department said there have been 132 calls for service and seven assaults at BP since January 2021.
“It’s been a huge drain on our resources,” Hicks said.
He said a store employee was recently arrested for drug trafficking and officers found marijuana and scales on the store counter.
Attorney Chris Finney and station owners appeared before the committee on Tuesday. Finney argued that the owners were new and had just bought the BP in October.
“I don’t get involved in advocating for my client. I get involved in convincing my client not just to comply, but to become a leader in the neighborhood,” Finney said. “They’re really good people who ran clean operations.”
He said the owners have already invested $100,000 in improvements to the property on top of the $260,000 they paid. He said they also own many other gas stations and convenience stores in Ohio and Kentucky.
“They are long-term investors in Cincinnati and they are creating job opportunities for the minority community,” Finney said.
The owners, he said, are ready to work with the police and the community to make further improvements, and argued that closing the store would only bring an empty site, a few fewer jobs and a more limited selection of shops in East Price Hill. .
In the end, Finney’s pleas did not work, and the committee voted to oppose renewal.
Cocaine Purchases and Absent Ownership
Hicks said one shooting and six assaults have occurred at Babe’s Cafe in Westwood since the start of 2021.
Along with the violence, he said officers made four “controlled purchases” of cocaine from a bartender at the Glenmore Avenue bar.
Officials noted that the owner of Babe’s rents out the bar, but doesn’t have a big presence. The owner was also not present at Tuesday’s committee meeting. Instead, the bar manager appeared alone without a lawyer. She said she only learned what was happening last week.
She said charges against the bartender were dropped, but noted he was a tenant in the building and was also evicted.
“I’m just ready to do whatever I can to make it right and make it safe for the community,” the manager said.
The license objection committee’s vote was approved unanimously.
Almost as many service calls as its five neighbors combined
Cincinnati Police Sgt. Jeff Meister said there were 114 calls for service to the Dive Bar in Corryville in 2021, almost as many as the 131 calls to five neighboring bars combined.
Meister said the bar had problems with fights, large crowds and after-hours drinking. He said a customer sat in the Short Vine Street establishment for some time with a handgun visible to anyone who would look into his belt, but was not confronted. Leaving the bar, this man was involved in a shooting across the street, Meister said.
There was also a fatal overdose at the bar in August, and police reported the owners failed to provide the correct video of the incident. Officers have the digital video recorder but have been unable to access the files on it. Officials said there was no needle at the scene, so police need to determine who was with the person.
“Clearly management and staff cannot control their own business,” Meister said. “I don’t know if it’s the ownership or the management itself at night. There must be some accountability. There are too many cases going on there.”
The committee postponed the vote on whether to oppose Dive Bar’s liquor license on Tuesday. Lawyer for the bar, Edward Hastie, argued that some of the problems with the presentation were misinterpreted or wrong and that he wanted more time to deal with the issue.
He said the owners turned over everything related to the overdose video and his customers only learned that they were having trouble accessing the files. Hastie said bar staff broke down the bathroom door and tried to save the person’s life.
“They did everything they were supposed to do,” he said.
Hastie said the owners, the Pedro family, have owned the building for 11 years and own four other buildings in the area and numerous other establishments in the state.
“For 10 years they haven’t had any problems,” he said.
Hastie explained that calls for service numbers could be misleading. Dive Bar is bigger than any of these other bars and is in a prominent corner, so it can be used as an address for incidents unrelated to the bar, he said.
“You have the opportunity to vote on what is effectively a death sentence for 43 jobs and a company that’s been around for 10 years,” Hastie said. “We know we have to work together, and we think it’s been 10 years since we did that and that should count for something.”
He said he spoke to the city over the summer and was told Dive Bar was not close to being considered for an objection.
“These are owners who take this seriously,” Hastie said.
The Public Safety and Governance Committee will meet again on April 19 to consider the objection to Dive Bar. If passed by the committee, it will likely be voted on by the full board on April 20.

MRI Confirms Persistent Concussion Effects in Athletes 1 Year After Resuming Play
-Brain recovery lagged behind clinical recovery, increasing risk for long-term consequences
by Zeena Nackerdien PhD, CME Writer, MedPage Today October 23, 2019
Study Authors: Nathan W. Churchill, Michael G. Hutchison, et al.
Target Audience and Goal Statement: Neurologists, sports medicine doctors, psychologists, radiologists, emergency department physicians, family physicians
The goal of this observational study was to test the hypothesis that concussion-related brain alterations seen at symptomatic injury and medical clearance to return to play in college athletes will have dissipated by 1 year after return to play.
Question Addressed: Would effects from concussion persist at 1 year after a college athlete was medically cleared to return to play?
Study Synopsis and Perspective:
Acute trauma to the brain, such as the impact of a sports injury, a car accident, or a fall, could result in a concussion. Brain injuries may occur in a coup-countercoup fashion, in which the brain bumps into the interior of the skull, where it is hit, as well as on the opposite side, resulting in damaging bruises at two sites in the brain. Biomechanical injury to neurons in the brain are thought to contribute to post-concussive vulnerability.
- Imaging markers of brain injury were still seen on MRI when concussed athletes were cleared to return to play, and evidence of brain injury persisted for 12 months after return to play, in this observational study of college athletes.
- Realize that the diagnosis of concussion and determination of return to play are currently based on symptom status and brief evaluations of cognition and balance, but these assessments only indirectly reflect the underlying brain injury.
Competitive sports and recreational activities account for as many as 3.8 million concussions in the U.S. each year, with half of these transient brain injuries going unreported. About 1 million athletes have reported having two or more concussions. Recurrent concussion is associated with a higher risk of post-concussion syndrome -- a complex disorder in which various symptoms (such as headaches and dizziness) last for weeks and sometimes months after the injury.
However, the diagnosis of a concussion is currently based on symptom status and brief evaluations of cognition and balance. Similarly, a return to play is determined mainly by symptom resolution of a graded exercise protocol.
In a new study published in Neurology, Tom Schweizer, PhD, of St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Canada, and colleagues used longitudinal MRI to investigate brain recovery after a concussion. They reported that different aspects of brain physiology showed different patterns of recovery over time, with only a subset of MRI parameters showing non-significant concussion effects at 1 year after return to play. Moreover, the effects of concussion on the brain also vary as a function of clinical measures, including acute symptom severity and time to return to play, for all examined MRI parameters, they noted.
A total of 24 college athletes with concussion (mean age 20, 54% women) and 122 without concussion (mean age 20.3, 49% women) were enrolled in this observational study. Athletes were recruited via a sports medicine clinic at a single institution. The included athletes who played volleyball, hockey, soccer, football, rugby, basketball, lacrosse, and water polo.
All athletes completed baseline assessments with the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 3 (SCAT3). Three MRI scans were performed: the first scan was performed about 4 days, on average, after the injury; the second one was performed when the athlete received clearance to return to play; and the final scan was performed 1 year after the return to play. Athletes who did not have concussions also underwent MRIs at the start of their respective seasons. Key effects of concussion on MRI parameters were evaluated at post-injury time points.
Imaging markers of brain injury were still seen when concussed athletes were cleared to return to play, and evidence of brain injury persisted for 12 months after return to play. Significant reductions in cerebral blood flow of 10 mL/100g/m were observed in concussed versus healthy athletes. Using an imaging approach that maps how water molecules move in the white matter of the brain, the researchers showed that the brains of concussed athletes exhibited possible evidence of tissue swelling 1 year after return to play.
Prior sports concussions studies have identified both focal increases and decreases in brain connectivity. But in the current study, measurements of the patterns of resting brain activity in the organ's gray matter and measurements of the lines of communication in the brain's white matter showed a return to normal 1 year after a return to play.
"Brain recovery after concussion may be a more complex and longer-lasting process than we originally thought," said co-author Nathan Churchill, PhD, also of St. Michael's Hospital.
"There is growing concern for the long-term health risks associated with concussion. However, we still know relatively little about how the brain recovers from concussion over the long-term, which is needed to understand the potential cause of these health concerns," he told MedPage Today.
This study had several limitations, the authors noted. Exertion and subconcussive impacts after return to play may have influenced results. In addition, athletes with concussion had MRIs only after injury, and not at baseline.

Study Highlights and Explanation of Findings:
Based on one of the longest follow-up studies of brain recovery in university-level athletes to date, researchers found that the brains of concussed athletes still continued to show signs of injury 1 year after receiving full medical clearance.
"This research is striking because the length of time of the follow-up is unprecedented," said Churchill in a press release.
"At the moment, safe return-to-play is largely based on the resolution of symptoms, but this is an indirect measure of brain recovery," Churchill told MedPage Today. At medical clearance, "concussed athletes showed differences in brain structure and function compared to uninjured athletes, suggesting incomplete recovery. More importantly, 1 year later, some aspects of the brain looked normal, but others still showed signs of ongoing recovery."
"At return to play, face-value indications of the injury -- such as cognitive impairment and symptoms -- appear to have cleared," said Schweizer in the press release. "However, our findings show early and long-term brain changes in response to the concussion. This suggests a potential risk for long-term consequences, given the evidence of worse outcomes if a second concussion occurs before recovery is complete."
These findings are consistent with smaller studies that have used various imaging and electrical measurement tools to assess post-concussion effects, said Robert Cantu, MD, of the Boston University Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) Center, who was not involved in the study.
"When someone is symptomatically completely cleared of all post-concussion symptoms and is neurologically normal on examination -- when I, as a clinician in my office, determine the eye-tracking is normal, the cognition is normal, the balance is normal, the symptom checklist is back to baseline -- I'm going to send that individual through a return-to-play protocol and allow them to return to play," Cantu said in an interview with MedPage Today.
"At that point, there are still a wide number of studies that are not yet back to normal," he continued. "It's unnerving because we worry that we're possibly not being conservative enough in terms of when we send people back based just on the neurologic exam and the symptom checklist."
But many of these measurement tools -- such as evoked potentials, diffusion tensor MRI, and functional MRI -- are not recognized by the American Board of Radiology, Cantu added. "They are not clinical tools that a doctor in his office will order up and use as stop-go criteria."
"By the end of the study, the concussed athletes were determined to be fully recovered based on clinical assessment, and had otherwise fully returned to normal work and school activities," Churchill said. "This is important, as it suggests that there are long-lasting brain changes even with full clinical recovery. It also raises new questions about when -- if ever -- the brain returns to 'normal,' and whether the long-lasting brain changes we see are related to worse outcomes if the athletes sustain another concussion before recovery is completed."

Brain Center Bulletin
This first digital edition of the BCRM Bulletin gives an overview of recent developments in our center. Brain Center Rudolf Magnus represents all research and (international) educational activities of the UMC Utrecht Hersencentrum. Our mission is to perform high-level research in clinical and experimental neuroscience, whilst delivering an exceptional standard of care.
March 2018, 12th edition
Neuroscience has become a prominent theme at Utrecht Science Park, with innovative research groups at the different Faculties of Utrecht University. This includes, but is not limited to, the Faculty of Sciences, Veterinary Medicine, Social Sciences and Medicine (UMC Utrecht). Many of Utrecht’s neuroscientists participate in the UU strategic theme “Dynamics of Youth”, with some of them leading the projects that make up the research core of the hub Child Expertise Center (Kinder Kennis Centrum).
Several of these exciting projects were presented at the launch of the Child Expertise Center on Thursday February 8. For example, a project led by Sarah Durston that focuses on the labels that children with developmental disorders, such as autism or ADHD, get and on how this affects these children, or a project studying the role of social play in health and disease by Louk Vanderschuren and colleagues.
While neuroscience is embedded well in “Dynamics of Youth”, this is surprisingly less so in the case of another UU theme “Utrecht Life Sciences”. Given the quality and breadth of Utrecht Neuroscience research, it should be a future goal to also be more visible and active within Utrecht Life Sciences and in Utrecht Science Park as a whole.
A first step in this direction was the organization of the Utrecht Brain Conference on December 12, 2017. Earlier in 2017, representatives of several biotech companies with offices in Utrecht Science Park met with neuroscience researchers from different Faculties of Utrecht University (including those of BCRM). The topic of this meeting was to discuss how to stimulate collaboration between neuroscientists and biotech companies and also to increase visibility at Utrecht Science Park.
The organization of a one-day research meeting in collaboration with Utrecht Life Sciences was chosen as one means to reach these goals. Utrecht Brain Conference was opened with lectures from Crossbeta, Nutricia Research and MILabs detailing their research and product development.
“An important theme was patient-focused research”
Jeroen Pasterkamp, Scientific director BCRM
This was followed by a great keynote lecture by Michael Heneka (University of Bonn) on microglia and their interaction with amyloid-beta, and several shorter talks by Utrecht neuroscientists. In addition to talks, many junior neuroscientists presented their work during a poster session. The meeting room was packed, Utrecht Brain Conference received very positive evaluations and the meeting resulted in several novel collaborations and grant applications, underscoring the need for a campus-wide forum for neuroscientific discussion. Since Utrecht Brain Conference has fulfilled this role last year, a new meeting will be organized this year, together with other activities to increase visibility of Utrecht neuroscience.
The quality of Utrecht neuroscience research is also exemplified by the researchers who received the BCRM publication, thesis and outreach awards last year at the BCRM research day; as well as by both recipients of the Rudolf Magnus Young Talent Fellowship, Franke Meye and Jinte Middeldorp. Their research plans are described in this bulletin. Other topics include the inaugural lecture of Wiepke Cahn, who calls for a more integrative approach towards patient care; an exciting new study in collaboration with the Youth Cohort in which the brains of unborn and newborn children will be studied using MRI by Manon Benders and colleagues and a novel European project led by Leonard van den Berg on ALS. It is clear that BCRM fosters excellent research, care and education and our future goal should be to better visualize our successes and expertise, both locally as well as (inter)nationally.

Brain development around birth studied using MRI
Infants who are born prematurely suffer more often from cognitive problems later in life than children who are born around the expected due date. Preterm children often have problems with concentration, planning and social functioning. Not all premature children develop those problems and it is therefore important to closely monitor these infants. Some studies show the association between early abnormal brain maturation and the development of impaired cognitive skills in extremely premature children. However, it remains difficult to study abnormal brain development when you can’t compare these infants with the normal population. Now it is time for the next step: visualization of the brain of healthy unborn and newborn children by MRI to compare them with the brain of preterm children to get a better understanding of (ab)normal brain developmental processes.
The brain is a complex system that is largely formed during pregnancy. After a full-term pregnancy, the brain morphology at birth does not differ much from that of adults. MRI brain research shows that premature birth, especially before 28 weeks gestational age, can have a significant impact on this vulnerable process.
The brain is often smaller, the maturation of the cerebral cortex often remains behind and the white matter is less developed. Follow up of these premature born children often reveal problems with concentration, planning and social functioning in these children.
Brain development of preterm infants can be compared with that of healthy children and children who have not yet been born. A unique aspect of this research is that pregnant mothers already receive an MRI scan and that the brains of the (healthy) unborn babies are already extensively mapped out. MRI in pregnancy is completely safe. There is no question of unhealthy radiation such as x-ray.
The research is part of the Youth Cohort, a collaboration between UMC Utrecht and Utrecht University. A total of 100 healthy pregnant mothers and their children will be followed in this study. A MRI scan is planned at 30-33 weeks of pregnancy, an MRI scan within four weeks after birth and another MRI scan at 7 years of age.
“Now it is time for the next step”
The latter is also special, so far children have not been followed for more than 3 to 5 years. At the age of 7 the cognitive and social development of children is more developed than at the age of 3. The longer period of follow up is therefore of great added value and of great importance to better understand brain development and its impact on development of children.
The aim of this research is to gain more insight into brain development between the 30th and 40th week of pregnancy and its relation to socio-cognitive development. Another goal of this research is to compare healthy brain development with extra-uterine brain development and its long-term outcome. This will be the PhD project of Elise Turk, under supervision of Dr. Roel de Heus, Prof. Arie Franx, Prof. Manon Benders and Dr. Martijn van de Heuvel.
“This research is a great opportunity to compare the development of premature babies with a healthy group,” says Manon Benders, professor of neonatology, “which is a joint effort with obstetricians and other youth collaborators. It is plausible that premature birth has a major (negative) influence on brain development and thus on later cognitive and social skills. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit environment is a big thing: ventilation, a feeding probe, operations, etc.
One of the possibilities is that the brains of premature babies develop faster because of all these stimuli they get. It is not yet known, but very interesting and important for the prediction and guidance of these patients in the first years of their lives. By identifying and improving early diagnosis and risks, we can provide earlier and better therapies for children with developmental problems.”
At the Brain Center Rudolf Magnus there is, amongst others, a focus on neuromuscular diseases. ALS is one of them and a large amount of research aims to find a cure for this disease. ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder that affects motor neurons in the brain, brainstem and spinal cord, resulting in progressive weakening of the muscles. ALS has an estimated prevalence of 40.000 patients at European level. Treatment is modestly effective at best and the majority of patients die within 3-5 years of diagnosis, often from respiratory failure.
It is a difficult search to discover the cause of ALS. Step by step new details are discovered that may have a link with the development of ALS, but there is still a long way to go. Recently, two of our researchers received important grants to learn more about this disease.
Two million euros for research on DNA change and ALS
Prof. Jan Veldink has received an ERC consolidator grant of two million euros. With the help of this grant, in the next five years he will investigate why some changes in the DNA lead to ALS in one person and not in the other.
Veldink will investigate the interaction between different DNA variations within one person and also the interaction with environmental exposures from the past. The genetic data for this research will come from another project he coordinates, Project MinE. Veldink: “Project MinE is an international collaboration, so there will be extensive exchange of data with international research groups. This includes whole genome sequencing and blood epigenetic profile data on thousands of ALS cases and controls.”
The project will take 5 years to complete. The first phase of the project will be characterized by trying to define homogenous subgroups of ALS patients based on a multitude of data elements, most notably blood epigenetic profiles as a proxy for past environmental exposures and specific clinical data. These results will be informative for subsequent genetic testing in ALS. The last phase of the project includes translating these novel findings using human derived induced pluripotent stem cell based models. Veldink: “One important result will be to identify additional genetic and epigenetic variations that modify the toxic expression of known ALS mutations, which could explain why some people get ALS with a specific genetic mutation but others don’t.”
Veldink has two main expectations on this research. “After 5 years, we will better be able to inform patients and their family members more precisely regarding the risk of developing ALS if they carry one or more ALS risk variants. Also, new cellular models will be available that will help speed up specific drug screening programs in ALS, both by academic and industry groups.”
Prof. Jan Veldink
Horizon 2020 grant for research on safety and efficiency of TUDCA in ALS
Prof. Leonard van den Berg received an Horizon 2020 grant, in collaboration with 10 ALS centers from 7 European countries: UK, Ireland, Italy, France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. This study has the ambition to develop a novel therapy in patients with ALS, based on administration of tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) in addition to riluzole. The hope is that this can slow down the ALS process.
This research concerns a randomized control trial on safety and efficiency of TUDCA in patients with sporadic ALS. Van den Berg and his team will play an important role in writing the study protocol. Van den Berg: “The preparations for this research are ongoing. We are aiming to start this trial, which will take 18 months, later this year. The aim is to see whether TUDCA is effective in ALS. Two biomarkers will be measured: neurofilament levels in the CSF and serum and MMP-9 expression in serum. It would be very important to find better biomarkers for disease progression in ALS.”
As ALS is a rare disorder, collaboration with other centers is very important to make progress. Van den Berg: With TRICALS, the European Trials Consortium to Cure ALS, we are aiming to set up many more ALS trials in the coming years.”
Prof. Leonard van den Berg
Awards on the BCRM Research Day
The theme of the BCRM Research Day on October 27 2017 was ‘The patient as partner in research’. There were several lectures by researchers and patients. PhD students held a blitz presentation to make others curious about their posters and there was a keynote lecture by Annelien Bredenoord about ethics in healthcare. At the end of the day the announcement of the various prize winners took place.
Marjolijn Ketelaar won the Outreach Award 2017. The jury praised her for the fact that she gives patients a substantial role. “This is unique, very important and an inspirational example to others.” Marjolijn is the program leader of the research line for child rehabilitation at the Utrecht Center for Rehabilitation Medicine Utrecht at the UMC Utrecht Brain Center Rudolf Magnus.
She has been involving patients in her research for a long time and has been able to link her work as a researcher to the lives of the patient. She really sets the standard for all researchers in the Brain Center on how to involve patients in their research.
Wouter van Rheenen won the Research Award 2017. This was for his publication entitled: ‘Genome-wide association analyses identify new risk variants and the genetic architecture of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis’. (Nat Genet. 2016 Sep;48(9):1043-8) The jury praised his role in research and publication with a broad scientific impact. Chantal Tax won the Thesis Award 2017 for her thesis entitled ‘Less Confusion in Diffusion MRI’. “An impressive thesis with excellent quality and quantity of research and a great clinical relevance” according to the jury.
The winner of the Poster Award was Renata Baptista Vieira de Sá. She had the best poster presentation entitled: ‘Establishing a patient-derived organoid model for studying cortical thinning in ALS’.

About sixty percent of psychiatric patients have physical disorders and about thirty percent of patients with a physical disorder also have psychiatric problems. During the past decades medicine has become ‘superspecialized’ focusing on just one illness and/or one underlying mechanism. As a consequence, a broader understanding of illness and the development of new treatments is restricted, according to Wiepke Cahn, Professor of Physical Health in Psychiatric Disorders at the UMC Utrecht Brain Center Rudolf Magnus. During her inaugural lecture on September 12th 2017, Cahn called for health care professionals to create a more integrated approach to illness, the person in his environment. “We should not pigeon hole in medicine and doctors should view and treat patients as a whole”
Wiepke Cahn: The separation of mental health care and hospital care hinders the recovery of many patients
According to Wiepke Cahn, physical health has been neglected in psychiatry. “The life expectancy of persons with a chronic psychiatric disorder is decreased by 15-20 years. The main cause of death is cardiovascular disease, but other physical conditions such as diabetes and cancer are also more common in patients with psychiatric disorders. This reduced life expectancy can be explained by many factors including prejudice and access to hospital care.
Care in the neighborhood
Cahn sees various opportunities to achieve a longer and better life for patients with mental health problems. “Research into finding the right balance between the effects and side-effects of medication. In addition, we should help patients to improve their lifestyles. To change unhealthy behavior is not easy, especially if you are feeling unwell. To enable this change specialized support is essential.
But most importantly a different health care organization is required in the Netherlands. Health care that is organized around the patient and family, in the neighborhood, where doctors and other disciplines collaborate and hospital care is only used when the care needed supersedes (intensive) home treatment. Integrating mental health care with hospital care give patients a better chance of recovery and ultimately leading to a healthier society.”
Rudolf Magnus Young Talent Fellowships for Frank Meye and Jinte Middeldorp
In order to support gifted junior group leaders implementing their own research line, Brain Center Rudolf Magnus awards one to two Rudolf Magnus Young Talent Fellowships each year. This year the Fellowships went to Frank Meye and Jinte Middeldorp. The Fellowship provides the recipients with €150.000 to be spent on research as the recipient sees fit.
Frank Meye will use the fellowship for doing research in rodents. He intends to unravel -with much higher spatiotemporal resolution than is feasible in humans- how specific parts of the prefrontal cortex are involved in inattentive and impulsive behavior. Furthermore, he aims to determine how Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) with distinct parameters, alters the function of separate populations of prefrontal cortex neurons and if these TMS protocols are capable of (durably) improving attention and impulse control.
Meye: “I am very happy to have been awarded this Fellowship. It creates the opportunity to apply our approaches in a new and very translational way to tackle clinically-relevant questions. I am proud to work in an institute that dares to support high-risk and potentially high-gain research.”
Jinte Middeldorp: “I am very pleased to have received this Fellowship, which will help develop my own research line. I am currently studying the effects of the aged systemic environment (blood) in mice, with a focus on the role of astrocytes in the neurovascular unit, but it is essential to study human cells and human brains as well. This fellowship will allow me to set up novel tools for studying these cell types in the human context and that of neurological disorders. I am eager to translate my findings from mice to humans with this fellowship and to get a step closer in knowing how astrocytes interact with the vasculature and respond to changes in the systemic environment in relation to aging and disease.”
The jury praises both recipients for their high quality of publications over the last years and sees a number of possibilities for implementation of their translational research in the future. Talented junior scientists are often confronted with limited funding periods and hence a relatively short period of time in which to strengthen their profile. To allow this group of gifted scientists more time to build their own research line and optimally prepare them for the next funding step, BCRM awards one to two Rudolf Magnus Young Talent Fellowships annually in competition.
More than 25 top-10% papers were published by researchers from Brain Center Rudolf Magnus in the period July 2017 – December 2017. For a recent update of our top publications, see our website.

For the week ending Feb. 15, 2014, Texas feeder cattle auctions reported prices mostly steady to $10 higher per hundredweight (cwt), with the market generally stronger later in the week. A number of locations reported smaller than usual receipts as inclement weather limited cattle movement. Texas direct feeder cattle prices were mostly steady. Fed cattle cash prices were $1 higher in spite of lower wholesale beef values. Prices across the cattle sector remain at historically high levels as tight supplies and strong demand continue to support the market. Beef export sales for the week totaled 16,600 metric tons (MT), more than double the previous week and 38 percent higher than the prior four-week average. Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong were the leading buyers. Shipments of 11,900 MT were down three percent from a week earlier and two percent from the average.

本研究的主要目的是在中国的运动员和学生群体中检验情绪调节问卷(emotion regulation questionnaire,ERQ)的信度以及效度。520名青少年运动员、434名成年运动员、673名青少年学生以及921名成年学生完成了包含ERQ、中文版布鲁奈尔情绪问卷以及中国人情感问卷。其中,33名青少年运动员、14名成年运动员、126名青少年学生以及90名成年学生在1个月后再次填写了ERQ,用于评估ERQ的重测信度。验证性因素分析支持了相关联的两因素模型,并得到了可接受的内部一致性信度和重测信度,支持了ERQ与心境和情感问卷的校标关联问卷。最后,本研究支持了运动员和学生群体的跨年龄组的构形以及度量恒等性,但是未能支持强恒等性。总之,中文版的ERQ可以被看作为用于评估中国运动员和学生情绪调节能力的一个有效和可靠的测量工具。 The current study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the Chinese translated Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(ERQ) among Chinese athletes and students. Five hundred and twenty junior athletes(12-17 years old),434 senior athletes(18-43 years old),673 junior students(12-17 years old) and 921 senior students(18-26 years old) were invited to complete the Chinese translated ERQ,the Chinese version of the Brunel Mood Scale,and Chinese Affective Scale. In addition,33 junior athletes,14 senior athletes,126 junior students and 90 senior students were invited to complete the Chinese translated ERQ one month later to evaluate the test-retest reliability of this scale.Confirmatory factor analysis(CFA) indicated the Chinese translated ERQ is in two-dimensional structure,and with acceptable internal consistency reliability and test-retest reliability,as well as acceptable criteria-related validity. Lastly,the configural and metric measurement invariances between junior and senior athletes,as well as between junior and senior students were supported,although invariances were not strong. In conclusion,the Chinese translated ERQ is a reliable and valid self-report instrument for measuring emotion regulation among Chinese athletes and students.

From Martindale-Brightwood to Downtown, Fountain Square to Brookside or Broad Ripple, we appreciate the personality and flavor of each small community.
At HealthNet, we’ve been deeply invested in our neighborhoods for more than 45 years.
In fact, many of our health centers began with small groups of residents working to bring health care to their communities, when they didn’t have any doctors nearby. Creating a health care home starts right in our own neighborhoods, with primary care providers who maintain long-term relationships with their patients.
This month, we joined our eighth community and became a West 10th Street neighbor!
The new HealthNet West Health Center opened full-time at 10th St. and I-465, and will serve more than 3,000 people each year. HealthNet West is really an outgrowth of Southwest Health & Dental Center, which has been serving the West Side community for 41 years!
We’d like to thank the West Side Chamber of Commerce, the Speedway Town Council, the Speedway Chamber of Commerce, IU Health West Hospital and all the civic groups, churches and schools that have welcomed us to West 10th St. Check out these photos from this month’s Grand Opening Community Celebration!

Aim: To evaluate the association between fear of hypoglycaemia, episodes of hypoglycaemia and quality of life in children with Type 1 diabetes and their parents.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional, population-based study of 325 children with Type 1 diabetes and their parents. The children were aged 2-18 years. A total of 325 parents of the patients aged 2-18 years and 196 of the patients themselves (aged 8-18 years) completed questionnaires including the PedsQL Diabetes Module, the Hypoglycaemia Fear Survey and Clarke's hypoglycaemia awareness questionnaire. Data were compared with HbA1c results and the history of severe hypoglycaemia episodes.
Results: Parents with the highest levels of fear of hypoglycaemia reported that their children had a reduced quality of life (P < 0.001). Similarly children with the greatest fear also reported a reduced quality of life (P < 0.001); however a history of severe hypoglycaemia was not associated with the child's quality of life as perceived by the child or parent. Episodes of severe hypoglycaemia were associated with an increased fear of hypoglycaemia for the parents (P = 0.004) but not the children. Children in the highest fear quartile also had a higher HbA(1c) concentration compared with those in the lowest fear quartile [increase in HbA(1c) 7 mmol/mol (0.6%), P < 0.01].
Conclusions: Fear of hypoglycaemia and not episodes of hypoglycaemia per se is associated with increased psychological burden for children with Type 1 diabetes. Interventions to reduce fear of hypoglycaemia in these families may improve their quality of life.

The chocolates may not be on the pillows just yet, but holidaygoers could be looking ahead to the possibility of a fairytale staycation next month.
Two castle hotels just outside Glasgow have revealed plans to reopen come mid-July.
Glenapp Castle in Ayrshire and Crossbasket Castle in Blantyre are among some of the first hotels to announce that they will welcome guests back following the Scottish Government’s tourism re-start date of July 15.
Both locations have assured guests that safety will be their top priority once their doors reopen.
Glenapp Castle said guests can expect hygiene packs, including sanitizer, masks, temperature strips, sanitizing wipes, to be available in all bedrooms and hygiene stations will be placed throughout the hotel.
Staff will have their temperature taken upon arrival on every shift and the restaurant will not be taking non-residential bookings over the summer period.
Meanwhile Crossbasket Castle will undertake a "mammoth effort" to ensure the hotel is ready for guests.
They will have hands-free sanitising stations in various location across the hotel as well as a one-way system to ensure no close contact between fellow guests and hotel employees.
A staggered dining services and socially distanced tables will be implemented and guests will order food over an app instead of using menus.
The tourism industry will be allowed to reopen as part of a move into phase three of the first minister’s plan to ease restrictions.

This paper studies the formation and emergence of the U.S. Army Reserves and National Guard, from volunteer state run militias to a federal reserve and federally controlled National Guard. Through the Spanish American War of 1898, the Dick Act of 1903, the National Defense Acts and two World Wars, this paper traces the wars and events that shaped and molded a modern military power. The paper also examines the political and social ramifications of establishing an extended military.
From the Paper:"Throughout American history, Americans have generally disliked a strong military. This "antimilitarism" as some historians' term it has dated back since the Revolutionary War. One prominent historian reports: "in resentment of red-coat garrisons in the colonies before the American Revolution, their presence becoming the primary cause of the Revolution." A standing army came to be depicted as a threat to individual liberties and as an oppressor of republican governments. Most people saw the military as only necessary in war, thus the general idea was that the army was praised during war but ridiculed during peacetime."

Wineglass runner donates medal to Red Cross volunteer
Runner Colleen Kelly Alexander, who competed in this year's Wineglass Marathon, found a way to give back in a very personal way.
Alexander was a special guest at the Oct. 4 marathon. The Connecticut triathlete was in a coma for five weeks after she was struck by a truck while cycling home from work in 2011.
Alexander bounced back from multiple surgeries to participate in more than 50 races and complete 15 triathlons. She took part in the half marathon during the Wineglass event.
Since recovering from her accident, Alexander has been an advocate for blood donation and a spokeswoman for the American Red Cross. Each time she completes a race, Alexander donates her medal to one of her heroes.
After completion of the Wineglass half marathon, Alexander presented her glass medallion to Red Cross volunteer Frank Davis during a ceremony at the Corning Red Cross office.
Davis, known by marathon organizers as "Fabulous Frank", leads a crew that sets up the five medical tents along the 26.2 mile course from Bath to Corning.
"The Red Cross is near and dear to my heart. I’m a survivor thanks to the Red Cross," Alexander said. "“I tend to give all my medals to people who are my heroes. I only met Frank a few days ago, but I looked into his soul and could tell here is a man of incredible gratitude.”
Davis was among more than 1,000 volunteers who helped make the Wineglass Marathon run smoothly. He's been volunteering for the event since 2012.
“We just couldn’t provide the level of care for runners that is our standard without Frank,” said Dawn Marie Castellana, who coordinates all medical preparation for the Wineglass. “I’m thrilled that Colleen could see how special he is to us by honoring him in this way.”
Davis, who also does disaster relief work for the Red Cross, was humble about the award, noting he's only part of a team effort.
"This isn’t the normal reward. Knowing you helped the community is our reward for doing this," he said. "It’s not my job to be in front of the camera, but behind the camera. I can’t thank her enough. This will be really special to me for the rest of my life.”

Two-body problem (career)
The two-body problem is a dilemma for life partners (e.g., spouses or any other couple) often referred to in academia, relating to the difficulty of both spouses obtaining jobs at the same university or within a reasonable commuting distance from each other. The inability of one partner to accommodate the other produces this central dilemma, which is a no-win situation in which if the couple wishes to stay together one of them may be forced to abandon an academic career, or if both wish to pursue academic careers the relationship may falter due to the spouses being constantly separated. The term two-body problem has been used in the context of working couples since at least the mid-1990s. It alludes to the two-body problem in classical mechanics.
More than 70 percent of academic faculty in the United States are in a relationship where both partners work, and more than a third of faculty have a partner who also works in academia.
Traditionally, this problem is solved by wives who supported their husbands' careers. However, compromises the couple make while trying to negotiate the two-body problem may have implications in the context of gender equality. Failure to compromise may have negative spillovers leading to difficulty in managing a family, and poor performance at work.
