Dr. Murthy Chavali conducting research
By Alexandra Brodin

Scheie Vision Annual Report

Venkata R. M. Chavali, PhD, Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), recently led a study to develop a promising new methodology for differentiating stem cells into retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in vitro. This methodology has the potential to lead to more targeted treatments for glaucoma, the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.

A New Vision for Treating Glaucoma

Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), the most common form of the disease, is characterized by chronic, progressive degeneration of the optic nerve, a cord-like structure responsible for carrying neural signals from the eyes to the brain. Damage to the optic nerve is caused by the death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which are neurons located in the retina. The axons of RGCs collectively form the optic nerve.

Current therapeutic strategies for glaucoma focus on management of intraocular pressure (IOP) to slow disease progression. However, even if diagnosed in early stages, approximately 30% of patients continue to worsen despite IOP-lowering treatments. This suggests that more research is needed on additional underlying disease mechanisms independent of elevated IOP, which, once understood, could provide further therapeutic targets for glaucoma.

Because human RGCs do not regenerate naturally after they deteriorate, the idea to restore or replace damaged RGCs is very attractive as a potential therapy. Stem cells provide investigators with the opportunity to generate new, viable RGCs. These RGCs can then be used to study the various factors that cause these cells to deteriorate in vitro and in mouse models.

In recent years, vision scientists have found that RGCs can be generated using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which are somatic cells that have been reprogrammed to an embryonic-like state. Researchers can guide iPSCs toward any type of cell lineage that may be required for experimental and therapeutic purposes, including the RGC lineage. The differentiation of iPSCs toward the RGC lineage allows researchers to study how to slow RGC death in glaucoma patients and reverse degeneration of the optic nerve by restoring or replacing damaged RGCs.

Generating Retinal Ganglion Cells

Over the past decade, different methods for generating RGCs from embryonic stem cells and iPSCs have emerged. One example is the use of a three-dimensional (3D) culture such a retinal organoid for the generation and isolation of RGCs. However, developing the retinal organoid generally requires a significant amount of time (approximately 40 to 60 days). This method also generates extraneous material, from which the RGCs must be selectively removed, leading to manual bias, lower reproducibility, and ultimately a diminished yield.

Dr. Chavali’s study, published in Nature Scientific Reports in 2020, builds on prior attempts to generate RGCs by creating an efficient and reproducible methodology that avoids the problems found in other protocols. “I wanted to generate a protocol that was efficient, highly reproducible, had limited manual selection and yields highly pure RGC cultures,” said Dr. Chavali. To conduct this research, he partnered with Dr. Jason Mills, who was then Director of the Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) Core at the Center for Advanced Retinal and Ocular Therapeutics (CAROT).

Dr. Chavali began working on stem cell-based methods of generating RGCs four years ago, inspired by the National Eye Institute’s Audacious Goals Initiative. This program encouraged researchers to propose innovative cross-disciplinary projects to restore vision in the retina.

The methodology that Dr. Chavali’s team developed uses two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures and does not require manual separation of cell clusters. The process involves two main stages. In the first stage, iPSCs are differentiated into retinal progenitor cells (RPCs), an intermediary cell type along the RGC lineage. “The uniqueness of our protocol is that we generate almost 100% of the RPCs from iPSCs,” said Dr. Chavali. “This is a unique advantage we have going into the second step.”

In the next stage, they used small molecules and proteins to inhibit several pathways, including BMP, TFG- (SMAD), and Wnt, to mature the RPCs towards the RGC lineage. To avoid the need for manual selection of cells through this process, Dr. Chavali’s team used a cross-hatching technique, which aids in the formation of RGCs with less variability and is distinct from other studies of this kind. The entire two-stage process takes only 35 days to complete and has been shown to yield a highly pure and robust population of RGCs.

The relatively short time frame of RGC differentiation and very high yields (up to 95% pure) are two significant advantages of this methodology. Another advantage is the absence of manual RGC separation from a retinal organoid, which can prevent damage to the newly generated RGCs. Currently, Dr. Chavali is investigating neuroprotective compounds (which work to protect cells from damage) to further help RGCs survive for long periods of time and tolerate stress more effectively.

Looking Ahead

This novel protocol is an important step towards the development of more targeted and effective treatments for glaucoma. Moving forward, Dr. Chavali plans to continue working to further improve the iPSC-RGC maturity by culturing them along with retinal astrocytes and other retinal cell types. He also intends to use this methodology to study genetic mutations that lead to RGC loss in patients and work towards a targeted therapy for patients whose glaucoma has a genetic basis.

In order to translate these findings into a strategy for treating glaucoma, Dr. Chavali’s lab is studying the molecular mechanisms of RGC death by applying oxidative stress and other conditions to simulate RGC loss in vitro. In collaboration with Katherine Uyhazi, MD, PhD, who was recently appointed as an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at UPenn, he is testing potential treatment strategies in mouse models of glaucoma by injecting the purified iPSC-RGCs. These experiments are currently ongoing with very encouraging preliminary results.

“Finding out ways to help patients with glaucoma is very important to me,” said Dr. Chavali. “I’m confident that our methodology of generating RGCs is a vital tool we can use to investigate mutations that cause RGC loss and offer a targeted therapy to patients with glaucoma.”

Retirement and Assisted Living Facility Extends Musical Trail with Outdoor Musical Flowers

Hassinghave is home to around 50 residents and located in the scenic area of Vester Hassing, Denmark. The property is surrounded by a large, partially enclosed garden, with a vibrant multi-purpose community activity center located adjacently. Residents are encouraged to remain as physically active as possible with a rich program of events and activities to not only enjoy with their fellow residents but also members of the wider community.

The team at Hassinghave work hard to create a stimulating and attractive environment for their residents and back in the Spring of 2018 approached Percussion Play Denmark to purchase three outdoor musical instruments to create a small outdoor musical trail at the front of the building. Since being installed, the instruments have been used extensively by the residents of the nursing home to step outside and meet and play alongside visitors and passers-by - especially young children many of whom attend the local kindergarten located close by. The intergenerational play opportunities that have occurred have been uplifting and rewarding for all concerned.

It was no surprise therefore that nursing home manager Bente Hvarregaard Larsen decided to extend the musical trail to include a posy of Harmony Flowers and a colorful bunch of Harmony Bells. Bente chose musical flowers because ‘they are so beautiful, inviting and sculptural’. As with the other instruments, the musical flowers have been located at the front of the nursing home, giving residents, family, friends, and visitors free access to play all of the instruments and have a little musical fun in the fresh air. This interaction with members of the public of all ages has motivated residents to venture outside, take a little exercise, meet new people, and simply chat for a while. This is turn helps residents remain positive, prevents feelings of loneliness, stimulates conversation, and even foster new friendships.

Hassinghave Nursing Home now boasts a community musical trail that includes the following instruments:Harmony Bells Bunch, Harmony Flowers Posy, large Babel Drum, Harmony, and Duo Outdoor Xylophone.

If you are the manager of a retirement, assisted living or nursing home and are interested in the concept of outdoor musical instruments and the positive effects they have on older adults then you may be interested in the following articles or research papers;

Video-Based Learning: Become a Percussion Play Pro

Percussion Play is to shortly launch a series of instructional videos and video-based learning courses for Partners and Resellers. A series of short, engaging, and informal training videos dedicated to increasing your knowledge of our products and arming you with the tools you need to become a Percussion Play Pro and Music Made for the Great Outdoors expert.

With a portfolio of around 50 outdoor musical instruments, becoming a Percussion Play Pro may seem a daunting challenge. However, developing insight and knowledge about our instruments will allow you to confidently deliver the best musical products to your customer every time and help you to create some truly inspiring outdoor musical spaces. Our presenters will gently guide you step by step through each instrument, and before long you’ll have a symphony of knowledge including; why does the Babel Drum have a hole in its bottom? Why do we have different colored beaters for some instruments and just what is the rainbow scale?

Learning through video-based courses is convenient and effective. Firstly, you’ll remember much more information and retain it far longer than if you were simply reading a website or app. Secondly, it’ll take you much less time — a couple of clicks and you’ll be viewing the lesson, no matter where you are — at work, at home, or traveling. Watching a video lesson helps you spend less time learning the material and keep it in memory longer.

In each video, we will clearly state the benefits of each instrument, the intended age range, or the best situation in which to use the instrument. If necessary, the presenter will show you how to create the best sound from the instrument through demonstration as well as offering technical support and some useful sales hints or tips.

The series kicks off with the Mystery of Mallets. Over the last 10 years, we have continuously developed our range of mallets to meet market demands and provide the best quality products available. Our current range provides our most robust, vandal-resistant design to date which has been proven to withstand the wear and tear of a busy outdoor music park or playground. Kate will tell you more about the clever design, why we have mallets in different sizes and colors, how to replace a mallet if required, and which instruments don't require mallets at all.

Meet Minerva

Minerva loves being around humans; she warms up to people right away and wants to show her love. She is happy when you hold her and is a total lap cat. She purrs very loudly and is just incredibly affectionate. When she can't be with you she will play some and likes to relax in high places. Minerva should be okay with children who won't overstimulate her as all she really wants is to snuggle.

We don't know how Minerva would do with dogs and so far she doesn't seem inclined to want to be around other cats. She would be great as an only pet but with proper introduction might be okay with other animals.

Minerva was born in 2019. She has been spayed, tested negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia, is current on vaccinations and has been micro chipped.

A right to stay instead of exclusion and illegality.

Petition on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the German Constitution

In Germany, hundreds of thousands of people live in existential insecurity – often for years – because they have either only a precarious or no right of residence at all. This state of existential insecurity and rightlessness must be ended. We therefore call on the German Bundestag / Petitions Committee on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the German Constitution: All those who want to live here permanently are to receive a right to stay on the date of the 70th anniversary of the German Constitution.

Tolerated and illegal immigrants enter the country as students, job seekers or fugitives. Their visa has expired or their asylum application has been rejected. They live among us and work „illegally“ in the low-wage sector or complement minimum social benefits with jobs as cleaning staff, in the care sector, in gastronomy and the like. Many become victims of exploitation by employers and landlords. Adequate medical treatment is often not provided. Not only adults but also children and young people have to live with expecting deportation at all times, even when attending school or undergoing vocational training.

All those who are permanently in the country yearn to live here without fear of deportation and without insecurity, and to be able to claim their rights as tenants, pupils or employees. Everyone should have the opportunity to visit a doctor in the event of illness and to address the police and courts if he or she has become a victim of a crime. People generally require a place where they can have a say in political, social and cultural life and where they can develop their individual abilities and needs.

In addition, life in existential insecurity and lawlessness does not only burden those who are directly affected. It also leads to various problems for the rest of society. For example, it is very time-consuming to integrate people professionally if for years they have not had access to language courses and qualification measures. And if illnesses become chronic because they are not treated adequately, the costs of a belated cure are higher. It would be an illusion to believe that all those who have not yet been granted the right of residence could be induced to leave voluntarily or be deported. On the contrary, the demand for a permanent right of residence, enabling all those who live here to stay legally and to plan their lives long-term, offers a humane and realistic perspective for immigration policy.

The Grundgesetz obliges the state to respect and protect the dignity of all human beings. We are taking the 70th anniversary of its entry into force as an opportunity to demand a right to stay as a step towards a policy that finally takes this claim seriously.

The Petromax dragon flies transatlantic

German traditional brand is now available in the USA

For over 100 years, Petromax worldwide stands for German quality, engineering skill, as well as technical innovation. The company’s history began with the world’s first kerosene high-pressure lamp “Petromax.” Still assembled in Germany today in its unaltered form, the lantern is a world-wide best seller. Since 1866, the fire, the experience of freedom, and independence are key elements of the German traditional brand Petromax. Today, the family-owned Petromax group is a leading German brand of cast-iron cookware and accessories for outdoor kitchens. We live the passion for fire and light, barbecue and outdoor cooking, bushcraft and survival. Everyone will feel this spirit, once the cast-iron Dutch Oven hangs over the campfire and is literally brought to life.

German legacy and American cooking culture

In the 18th and 19th century, German settlers came to the USA and used their cast-iron pots and pans for food preparation. The first Dutch Ovens were simple, but incredibly effective: The large material surface provided for high heat distribution, the pots were versatile, and meals kept hot for a long time. Until today, these are highly appreciated properties. The Dutch Oven cooking quickly became a part of the American cooking culture and has been further developed ever since. Thus, we owe to the American inventiveness two major things: The affixing of three supporting feet at the Dutch Oven’s bottom as well as the reshaping of the lid which allows to place the Dutch Oven directly in the fire with charcoal on top of it. This way, the Dutch Oven became an essential kitchen utensil, whether as cookware at home or a reliable companion outdoors. At Petromax, we set the focus on our own history with the goal of improving the wonderful taste of grilled and roasted meat – no matter where in the world.

Petromax – made with passion for unmatched taste

Dutch Oven, cast-iron pans and bakeware, grills and stoves, useful accessories for bushcraft and survival: the product range of the dragon brand Petromax is characteristic for its versatility and German structural quality at the same time. Reliability and longevity are the most important principles when it comes to the quality check of the Petromax products. Thus, pots and pans get passed on from generation to generation. Customers, fans, and friends from all over the world profit from more than a century of experience in German design work and workmanship. Our inhouse development consistently works on elaborate details, smart improvements, and well-thought-out, new products. It is all about privileging around the globe any chefs, adventurers, bushcrafters, and freedom-loving people with some independence and self-determination. In 2019, Petromax takes the next step forward: The German brand becomes available to our amazing partners on the US market. We are tremendously excited to celebrate German-American friendship and history, sharing our passion for tradition, high-grade cast-iron cookware and the keen sense of tasty food. Join us at a campfire, listen to the sizzling crispy meat in the cast iron pans, smell the taste of simmering cheesy casserole in the Dutch Oven, and let us experience what pure nature tastes like.

SR’s Fab 5 is a collection of inside scoop, analysis and insight from yours truly, publisher and Bucs beat writer Scott Reynolds. Here are a few things that caught my attention this week at One Buc Place and around the NFL:

There were several reasons why former Buccaneers head coach Lovie Smith was fired. Fielding a very surprising and disappointing 8-24 record in Tampa Bay was a big reason, especially for a veteran head coach that was expected to come in and win right away given how much money the organization spent in free agency in 2014.

But a failed defensive scheme with Smith usurping Leslie Frazier of the defensive coordinator duties on game day last year and taking over the play-calling, as well as poor coaching in the secondary were two other notable reasons. The stubborn Smith wasn’t about to fire Mikal Smith, his son, who Tampa Bay’s safeties, nor his coaching mentor, Larry Marmie, who coached nickel cornerbacks. Smith’s ego also wasn’t going to allow him to surrender play-calling duties for a chance to return in 2016, either.

The Bucs didn’t even bother to ask Smith because they knew the answers to those questions. Those were most likely foregone conclusions in the minds of the Glazers and general manager Jason Licht, which allowed the Bucs’ brass to come to a relatively quick decision to fire Smith three days after a disappointing finish to the 2015 campaign, which ended with a 6-10 record. The conclusion Licht and new head coach Dirk Koetter reached when evaluating the defense was that it wasn’t so much the talent as it was the scheme and the coaching.

That’s why free safeties Chris Conte and Keith Tandy were re-signed and starting strong safety Bradley McDougald, who is a restricted free agent, was given a second-round tender. That’s also why the Bucs were interested in retaining Alterraun Verner and Johnthan Banks, Tampa Bay’s starting cornerbacks in 2014, who were demoted during the 2015 season.

I had a chance to speak to both Banks and Verner, who are excited to play for head coach Dirk Koetter and defensive coordinator Mike Smith, and are grateful for a second chance in Tampa Bay.

“There was a lot of stuff that went wrong last year,” said Banks, who had 105 tackles, 16 pass breakups and seven interceptions in his first two seasons with the Bucs, but only 25 tackles, one pass breakup and no interceptions in 2015 after being demoted. “Honestly, I don’t even care anymore. That was a big, big, big fiasco, but I’m over that. I just want to move on and try to go out and make some plays this year. I’ve got a new coaching staff and a fresh start and have some guys that I actually feel like they want to be in Tampa. I’m excited to get back to work. I’m ready to go.”

Last year was indeed a fiasco.

Smith broke the cardinal rule when it came to defensive backs and had a very quick hook last year after cornerbacks gave up big plays. Never mind the fact that secondary coaches from Pee Wee to the NFL always preach to their cornerbacks and safeties to have a short memory. Give up a touchdown? “Forget it and move on to the next play” is what players like Banks and Vernon had heard their whole lives.

“You have to have a short memory,” Banks said. “As a cornerback, you’ve got to move on to the next play. Things are going to happen. You’ve got guys like Julio Jones and Antonio Brown – guys like that in this league. You can’t stop them every play. They are going to get their catches. When they make a play, you have to move on to the next play and make the next one.”

That wasn’t the case with Smith. Give up a big play? You’re benched.

Smith’s ridiculous cornerback carousel lasted the whole season and saw a different starting lineup virtually every month. By the end of the season, Smith had started six different players at cornerback and four different players at safety – never finding a combination he was happy with. The Bucs weren’t going to go through that again and Smith was fired.

Shortly after Koetter was hired, Banks and Verner got word that the team wanted to keep them. Banks had a face-to-face meeting with Koetter, defensive coordinator Mike Smith, secondary coach Jon Hoke and defensive backs coach Brett Maxie.

“I was actually going back to Tampa to get my Super Bowl tickets, but I ran into Coach Koetter and all the new coaches over there and we had a meeting,” Banks said. “It was a very good meeting. I think Coach Koetter is the right man for the job. He’s going to be fair and I took a lot out of that meeting. He’s going to put the best 11 out there on the field on offense and defense and special teams. That’s what I’m excited about. I’m going to go out there and showcase my talent and show what I can do. I never lost confidence in myself. I’m so over last season. I’m ready to get back to competing and having fun. I want to have fun and play football.”

Banks, who became close to Verner during their first season together in Tampa Bay in 2014, was thrilled to hear the news that Verner, who is scheduled to make $6.75 million in 2015, was also set to return to the Bucs this year.

“I’m excited for him because he went through some of the same stuff I went through last year,” Banks said. “I’m so happy to see him back. Me, him and Coach Brett – we talk every day. We’re good friends and I’m so happy to go back to war with him and the new guys – Josh Robinson and Brent Grimes. I’ve been a big fan of Brent’s for a long time, back when he was with the Falcons and I was in college. I have really enjoyed watching him go out and make plays on the ball.”

While unrestricted free agent cornerbacks Mike Jenkins and Sterling Moore aren’t expected to return, Verner is grateful that the front office made the decision to retain most of last year’s talent in the secondary and give players like himself another chance in Mike Smith’s defensive scheme, which is more aggressive.

“As a competitor it’s definitely frustrating when you are not playing as much as you expect to play or want to play,” Verner said. “You want to be on the field helping your team as best you can. For Johnthan and I, things were out of our control and it was frustrating.

“As a whole, I look it as a humbling season. The year, I looked at 2014 as a learning season for me. This past year was more humbling because when you have something taken away from you, you realize how much you miss it. You realize how much of a blessing it is to be in the situation you’re in. Last year with me bouncing around and moving around to nickel, it makes me hungrier and makes me want to bounce back the following year.”

After speaking with Koetter this offseason, Tampa Bay’s new head coach left an incredibly positive impression on both Banks and Verner. While he wants both players to make more plays in 2015, he wants them to have fun, which neither Banks nor Verner had much of last year under Smith.

“I spent maybe 30 minutes to an hour sitting down with the new coaches and I thoroughly enjoyed it,” Banks said. “I’m really feeling confident that those guys will get the job done. They want us to make plays, and while we’re making plays we need to have fun. That’s what football is about. It’s not about being uptight and playing football. It’s about having fun and playing football.”

Verner raved about Koetter and what he was able to accomplish as the Bucs offensive coordinator, producing over 6,000 yards for the first time in franchise history with such a young squad in his first season in Tampa Bay.

“I was of fan of Dirk when he was in Atlanta scorching us my first year in Tampa,” said Verner, who had 75 tackles, two interceptions, nine pass breakups and two forced fumbles in 2014, but just 53 tackles four pass breakups, an interception and a forced fumble. “I thought he did so many good things in Atlanta that when we hired him I thought it was a great pick up. Seeing him in person on a day-to-day basis he has a great work ethic and he brings out of the best of what he has. When Austin [Seferian-Jenkins] was hurt for a while you see Cameron Brate come in and make plays. You see Doug [Martin] and Charles [Sims] and what they did together. You see Vincent [Jackson] go down and you see Adam Humphries and Donteea Dye come in and step up. All of these injuries are happening and new guys step in and produce. On top of all that you have a rookie quarterback. To get the guys to do what they did was very impressive. I think very highly of him.

“Dirk is a guy that is going to be a straight shooter with you. He’s going to be very clear in his communication with you and what he expects from you. I look forward to working with him on a more regular basis. I’m excited he’s getting this opportunity. I know he wasn’t expecting it and people weren’t expecting the whole Lovie thing to go down, but if they were going to bring anybody in to replace him Dirk was the best option for that because he has the familiarity with us. He’s seen us players on the defensive side from practice. He knows what type of talent we have in the building already. Now he has to find a way to get it all out of everybody, and that’s why he brought in the coaches that he did. I’m excited for Dirk. I think he’s going to do very well. I think one of the big things he’s going to do well is communication with people. I can already see that and we haven’t even gotten into OTAs yet. I’m looking forward to it.”

While the players are away on vacation until the offseason program begins in April, Koetter has spent the last three months e-mailing, texting and calling the Bucs players on a regular basis, reaching out and forming new relationships with the defensive players, and strengthening relationships with his offensive players. He had called Banks out of the blue on Wednesday right before I did for this interview.

“I didn’t really know Coach Koetter much last year,” Banks said. “I had maybe one or two conversations with him, but after sitting down and talking to him, and talking with our guys on offense they absolutely love him. I’m excited to go to work for him. I’ve talked to him a few times. He actually called me today. You just don’t know how big of a deal it is when your head coach actually communicates with you and tries to vibe with you and get along with you and tries to have a relationship with his players. I went from college with [Mississippi State head coach] Dan Mullen where he was like a father to me to Coach [Greg] Schiano, who was super cool. I was close to those guys. Last year was a fiasco. I’m so happy to be a part of Coach Koetter’s team and I can’t wait to move forward.”

Banks isn’t the only one who feels more of a vibe with Koetter. Verner noted the contrasting styles between the more fiery and energetic Koetter and the more stoic Smith.

“I think Lovie had a different approach,” Verner said. “He was more laid back. I think you saw that every day the way he interviewed [at his press conferences]. He was more reserved. That’s just him by nature. That’s just the way he was. It was hard to get used to that at times. With Dirk, you can tell from the way he’s in your face that he makes his point known and gets after it. I like that.”

One of the changes Koetter and Mike Smith are making is going back to the more conventional approach of having two defensive backs coaches rather than three. Whether it was Mike Tomlin and Raheem Morris or Morris and his assistant, Jimmy Lake, for decades Tampa Bay had two defensive backs coaches and the entire secondary in one meeting room sharing one message. It wasn’t that way under Smith the last two years, and players like Banks and Verner believe the lack of communication played a big role in the constant confusion and breakdowns in the secondary.

“It’s not a bad thing to have all of those coaches, but I think it’s more a matter of working together if you have those separate entities,” Verner said. “Sometimes you could make it work, but I feel that’s where the communication was lacking. We didn’t necessarily meet together as much as we should have because we had the separate coaches and the separate people trying to tell us different things instead of having something that cohesively brought us together. It’s not an excuse for the way we played, but that’s not what I was used to coming from Tennessee and from UCLA. You might have a safeties coach and a corners coach, but you all met together and went over tendencies and you talked amongst each other throughout the week going into games. That’s something that I’m more used to. If I had a preference between the two, it would be better for me as a player for us all to meet together.

“I believe that’s going to happen here this year, but I haven’t had much specificity yet. That’s what we did with Brett Maxie in Tennessee. He had more of an emphasis with the safeties, but at the end of the day everything still ran through him. We’ll be all together because it’s a new system and they will want to teach it to all of us at the same time. That’s what I would assume.”

Although he’s a newcomer, Grimes, a four-time Pro Bowler, will actually be the most experienced cornerback in Mike Smith’s new defensive scheme, having played for Smith in Atlanta from 2008-12. Verner is looking forward to Grimes showing him the ropes.

“Brent Grimes’ success has been well documented,” Verner said. “He’s a guy that makes plays wherever he is. He’s been doing it a long time. He’s always around the ball and he’s aggressive. He’s feisty. I love his addition and I look at him like a mentor, too, because he’s played in Mike Smith’s system before and he was successful in it. He knows the ins and outs. If he didn’t have that injury in Atlanta he probably would still be there. I look to learn a lot from him as far as the nuances of the defense and I know he’s going to compete. That’s all he knows how to do is compete with him being undrafted. He’s had to work for everything. He’s a great player.”

Banks and Verner are glad they will are getting a new start in a new defensive system with new coaches. The OTAs can’t get here quick enough for two fallen stars eager to prove that they are truly starting-caliber cornerbacks in Tampa Bay.

“It’s reassuring,” Verner said. “At the end of the day the NFL is a business and there will never be hard feelings. I felt like the team was going to do things in its best interest – what it feels is in the best interests of the team. Knowing that the Bucs want me to be a part of that plan is very humbling and gratifying, and that they see the potential of what I can bring to the team and that I can be an asset, it does make me feel good.

“Nothing is going to be given, nor should it be, but I feel like this team is heading in the right direction and it’s trending upward. I was hoping to be a part of it. I’m beyond thrilled to be spending more time with Johnthan, Lavonte [David], Kwon [Alexander], Gerald [McCoy] and all the new guys like Brent Grimes and Josh [Robinson]. I said some of the same things last year when you and I spoke about me having a bounce back year, but I have a different feeling this time. It’s a better feeling. Tampa Bay is moving up with Jameis Winston at the helm. I’m excited.”

While Banks is high on Winston and the Bucs’ powerful offense, he wants to help get Tampa Bay’s defense to hold up its end of the bargain in games this year.

“We have to be able to handle the ball on our end on defense just as much as the offense handled it on their end last year,” Banks said. “If it weren’t for Jameis and Coach Koetter’s offense, we wouldn’t have won those six games. They carried us. As a defense, we’ve got to go out there and get the job done. This is going to be my fourth year in Tampa and I’ve only won 12 games – 12 games in three years! I’m ready to win and get the Bucs back on a winning track to the playoffs.

“It was a big disaster last year, and I think everybody is happy to have a fresh start and a new scheme. Honestly, I am. I’m happy. No disrespect to anybody, but I’m happy for a fresh start. I’m excited to go out there and enjoy football again, have fun and let loose, enjoy being around my teammates and my coaches.”

Using terms like “fiasco” and “disaster” to describe life as a cornerback in Tampa Bay in 2015, it’s clear that last year wasn’t much fun for the Buccaneers defensive backs. With a new head coach, new defensive coaches and a new, aggressive defensive scheme, Banks and Verner plan on making a lot more plays this year – and having a lot more fun as a result.

It’s no secret that the Buccaneers defense struggled to stop simple quick slant passes last year, especially in the red zone. But why did Tampa Bay struggle so much against the slant?

Former Bucs head coach Lovie Smith was asked that very question in late October during a press conference, and half way through the season he didn’t have an answer.

“It’s the technique,” Smith said. “You’re supposed to take it away. Once you get down into the red zone, that’s what you do. You make them throw the hard throw. You make them throw the fade, which is a harder throw to complete than the quick slant. But with our players, we haven’t gotten that point across yet.”

That’s actually a contradictory statement from Smith, whose defense was modified this year to invite teams to throw slant passes when Tampa Bay’s head coach assumed defensive play-calling duties from Leslie Frazier last spring. This week I asked Alterraun Verner why the Bucs cornerbacks rarely contested passes last year and allowed slant routes to be caught at a maddening rate. I think you’re going to be as amazed at his answer as I was.

“That’s really a complicated answer, but I’m going to make it as simple as I can,” Verner said. “The defense that we ran last year was an ‘outside-in’ basis. We wanted to protect the outside and deep – the fade routes, the out routes, the things that happen on the perimeter. We wanted to funnel everything in. Most of the defense we played, that’s what the goal was – to funnel everything in and keep everything in front of us.

“When it came to slant patterns and dig routes – everything inside – as corners we were under the impression that we were funneling it into our help. We were supposed to have a safety there or a linebacker there. We were told that it wasn’t really our play to make, but we wanted to be close enough to where we wanted to not make it an easy completion. We still needed to be able to compete for the ball, but it was with the understanding that we wanted to protect against what we were weak at.”

What Verner is alluding to is that the Bucs don’t have the fastest group of cornerbacks, so Smith wanted to try to eliminate the footraces down the field against faster wide receivers. There was some merit to that, but the problem was that the communication wasn’t strong enough between the cornerbacks and the revolving door of safeties and the linebacking corps, which featured a rookie in middle linebacker Kwon Alexander, perhaps due to the failure of the secondary regularly meeting as one unit rather than three separate units – cornerbacks, nickel cornerbacks and safeties – like Smith preferred.

Simple play-action passes, such as rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota used in Tennessee’s 42-14 win over Tampa Bay, often manipulated the coverage and pulled the linebackers or safeties out of position, thus opening up the slant routes even more. With the cornerbacks guarding the outside, receivers typically had carte blanche to run free on the inside.

What Smith envisioned with this coverage was Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Brooks picking off slant passes with regularity or legendary Bucs strong safety John Lynch lowering the boom on receivers running slant passes across the middle. But Smith’s line of thinking was severely outdated for life in the NFL in 2016, and was more akin to the 1990s.

“With our defense last year I think that’s when you would see back in the day the John Lynches and all of them, when they came down you would see all of those big hits,” Verner said. “The receivers may have caught the ball, but they didn’t want to do it again because they didn’t want to get hurt. I think with the rule changes you can’t be that kind of physical without being worried about targeting. I felt like teams could have the slant because the way the league is now that there is so much protection for players on those plays. Back then they would get knocked out. That’s probably the simplest way I could put it.

“It wasn’t our job [as cornerbacks to cover the slant] because we were supposed to have somebody in those areas. We were told plenty of times that slant patterns weren’t going to beat us, that deep balls – a fade or a post – were what gets teams beat. That’s what the philosophy was, I guess, to some sort in regards to the slant. It was frustrating when you think about Tennessee in Week 1, Carolina, Washington and other teams really killed us on the slant routes and things inside. It was frustrating that we didn’t make enough adjustments to figure it out, and we didn’t make enough plays on our end to discourage it.”

Smith didn’t trust his cornerbacks’ speed to cover deep routes, but they wound up being bystanders too often underneath, forced to watch catches for first downs and touchdowns happen in front of them. Even though he isn’t the fleetest of foot, Banks felt slighted with the change in schemes and is looking forward to playing in Mike Smith’s more aggressive scheme in 2015.

“I can play both man and zone equally well,” Banks said. “That’s what we did in college. We played both man and zone. I’m not the fastest guy, but I’m 6-foot-2. That makes us for a lot of stuff. I’m excited to go out there and compete and feel like a corner again instead of watch guys catch slant passes in front of us.”

In addition to allowing opposing quarterbacks to complete an astonishing 70 percent of their passes against Tampa Bay with high percentage throws like slants, the Bucs defense surrendered 31 passing touchdowns in 2015. Roughly one third of those scores were slant passes in the red zone.

“That’s the easiest route in the book in the red zone – the slant,” Verner said. “You want them to throw a fade route, even though it looks prettier when the receiver catches it, it’s much harder to complete. A throw to the inside is so easy. It was frustrating, and I know for fans it had to be frustrating. You don’t have to be a football guru to know that it’s an easier throw to the inside for the quarterback.

“They scored a lot of touchdowns doing it. I know it was frustrating, but that’s going to get remedied. I’m not going to say that there won’t any slants caught because other teams make plays. But there will be a lot more of those slants really contested in the coming year.”

The production of the Bucs cornerbacks declined rapidly with the change in play-calling from Leslie Frazier in 2014 to Smith in 2015. In 2014, the Bucs had 14 interceptions, including 10 from the secondary where the cornerbacks had eight picks and the safeties had two. Tampa Bay’s cornerbacks broke up 27 passes, while the safeties broke up 13 passes that year.

Last year with Smith calling the plays, the Bucs only produced 11 interceptions with just six coming from the defensive backs. Safeties Chris Conte and Bradley McDougald each had two picks, while Verner and Sterling Moore each only had one. Tampa Bay’s safeties had 15 pass breakups in 2015, but the number of pass breakups from the cornerbacks fell from 27 in 2014 to just 18 last year.

“I think the stats kind of paints a pretty accurate picture,” Verner said. “As a secondary we weren’t as good as we needed to be. When you only have six interceptions from our group that’s way too few. That’s not enough. There are people in the league that have six by themselves. No matter what we say about the system or being coached, that’s still disappointing. It was definitely disappointing. When you have myself and bring in Chris Conte and have Johnthan and Bradley McDougald. We had talent. We should be able to make more plays on the ball and we didn’t get that done.

“To sum it up it was disappointing, but I think the reason a lot of guys are being brought back is because we know what every guy is capable of doing. Dirk has seen us every day. He’s seen the work we’ve put in. He and Jason [Licht] trust us enough to bring almost the same group back to get it done with a few additions. You don’t want to end a year with six interceptions. Johnthan and myself had six together the year before and probably should have had a lot more that year.”

Verner and Banks firmly believe that Tampa Bay’s new defensive scheme, which is going to feature a wider array of blitzes designed to pressure quarterbacks, will better allow the Bucs defensive backs the opportunity to showcase their skills.

“I’m excited for OTAs and for camp because there are going to be a lot of plays made in practice from the secondary position,” Verner said. “Johnthan is a ballhawk. He had three picks his rookie year, and he had four picks in his second year. Look at all the picks he had in college. He’s a ball magnet. He goes and gets the ball. I think him getting another opportunity, he’s going to be able to showcase that. I know Johnthan is licking his chops. We’ve been talking back and forth a lot about competing. I know what he’s going to bring to the table.”

Banks got fired up talking to Koetter, Smith and Tampa Bay’s new position coaches Jon Hoke and Brett Maxie about the new defense back in January.

“I think it’s a great scheme,” Banks said. “I’m excited about it. It’s like my rookie year with Coach Schiano. It was a fun out there. Coach Schiano was sending blitzes every which way and the quarterback doesn’t have time to think about it and they just throw the ball to you. I’m excited to not just sit out there, but get out there and compete for the ball. With this new defense the ball is going to have to come out quick. The quarterback can’t just sit back there and hold the ball and pick us apart. I’m excited. I think it’s going to be a great year and we’re going to have a lot of fun.”

Before you knock Schiano’s defense in 2013, understand that Banks had three interceptions as a rookie, Bucs Pro Bowl defensive tackle Gerald McCoy had a career-high 9.5 sacks, linebacker Lavonte David was an All-Pro with his best statistical season, recording career highs in pass breakups (10), sacks (seven) and interceptions (five), in addition to two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. The Bucs also had a Pro Bowl cornerback in Darrelle Revis in 2013 before the Bucs switched to the Tampa 2.

Schiano’s defense produced 21 interceptions in 2013 with his secondary producing 12 picks, in addition to 73 pass breakups with 27 coming from cornerbacks and 18 from the safeties. Those are numbers that Smith wish his defense produced against the pass.

Verner believes that the myriad of exotic blitzes Smith has in store for Tampa Bay will also benefit second-year quarterback Jameis Winston. Verner suggests that Winston will be throwing quite a few more picks in practice without facing as many predictable coverages as he saw at One Buc Place last year.

“I guess you could say that and you could quote me on that,” Verner said. “At least that’s going to be our goal. I know Jameis is working really, really hard. I know he’s going to be fired up and ready to go. I know he was very vocal in challenging us last year.

“I think there are going to be some great battles, but with this new defense I think we’ll try to get the best of him as much as we can for sure – all of the corners are. Our offense can make some plays, too. Jameis, Mike Evans, Austin [Seferian-Jenkins] – all those guys are capable, too. We’re not going to clean sweep them, but we are going to make it real difficult for them.”

That goes for opposing quarterbacks, too. Opponent QBs won’t be completing 70 percent of their passes against Tampa Bay’s defense this year. And slant passes won’t be so easy to complete, either.

Don’t let the flurry of free agency signings fool you. Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht still greatly prefers drafting players versus spending money on veterans who were released by other teams. But there are some important elements of Tampa Bay’s free agent signings that are worth pointing out.

1. Bucs In Win-Now Mode
Who now has the bull’s eye on his back now that Lovie Smith has been fired? Why none other than Licht, who enters his third season as Tampa Bay’s general manager with the same 8-24 record that led to Smith’s firing. The Glazers believe he’s doing a good job acquiring talent and he got to hire his first head coach when he promoted offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter.

But the Glazers are impatient, and rightfully so. They do see the merit in Licht’s plan to build through the draft, but they also want to win now. In finding a couple of older veterans in Pro Bowl cornerback Brent Grimes, who will be 33 in July, and defensive end Robert Ayers, who will be 31 in September, Licht obviously wanted to add some experience to Tampa Bay’s defense.

Yet despite their age, Grimes and Ayers have both been playing at a very high level over the past two years. Grimes had nine interceptions, including a pick-six, during that span in Miami, while Ayers had 14.5 sacks over the last two years, including a career-high 9.5 sacks in 2015, playing for the New York Giants. All indications are that Grimes and Ayers are still in their prime.

The Bucs are also signed former Baltimore linebacker Daryl Smith, who is 34, after visiting with him on Thursday. Smith played for defensive coordinator Mike Smith and linebackers coach Mark Duffner in Jacksonville, and would help the Bucs at strongside linebacker. Smith is still playing at a high level, evidenced by three straight years of at least 120 tackles.

2. Pursue Value Deals
With the exception of re-signing Pro Bowl running back Doug Martin, whose deal averaged just north of $7 million per year, no other free agent signing by the Bucs surpassed $6.5 million per year. In fact, that’s the per year value of the contracts signed by Grimes, Ayers and left guard J.R. Sweezy.

Licht and director of football administration Mike Greenberg have done a great job of creating and maintaining salary cap room by not dishing out prorated signing bonuses. Tampa Bay has maintained its stance of giving roster bonuses and guaranteed money for the first year or two so in case the team wants to move on it can do so without much dead cap money if at all.

The multi-year deals for Grimes, Ayers and Sweezy are really one-year prove-it deals with limited guaranteed money in 2017. Smith and safety Chris Conte did get one-year deals. Consid

On September 24, 2012, Allegheny County sent a letter to all commercial property owners who have a pending 2013 tax appeal with new assessments exceeding one million dollars.

This letter was a direct result of Judge R. Stanton Wettick’s prior order creating an expedited system to give select commercial property owners a chance to appeal the 2013 assessments before the 2013 property taxes are actually due. The county letter indicated that the Board of Property Assessment (BPAAR) received over 14,000 commercial appeals, and because of the complexity of the commercial appeal process, there is no guarantee that all 2013 appeals will be heard before the 2013 taxes are due.

The Advantages of Bypassing the First Appeal Hearing for the Allegheny County Assessment

Advantages of commercial tax assessment

The advantage of participating in the commercial bypass process is to expedite the appeal.

Once a bypass application is completed, the appeal is immediately transferred to the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County Board of Viewers (BOV), and a conciliation is expected to be scheduled within 6 months or less. Theoretically, this means that you may be able to finish the entire 2013 appeal process and lower your 2013 Allegheny County assessment before the 2013 taxes are due. This advantage is a great option for anyone who has serious financial concerns about their ability to timely pay on the new Allegheny County assessment pending a potentially lengthy appeal.

Expediting the appeal is basically the only advantage of bypassing the first level hearing, but it is not always the best financial decision. Once a case is assigned to the BOV, the attorneys for the taxing entities now have time to order appraisals and can send discovery requests to the property owners. Thus, there are disadvantages.

The Disadvantages of Bypassing the First Appeal Hearing for the Allegheny County Assessment

disadvantages of tax assessment appeal

By using the commercial bypass option, commercial property owners are automatically agreeing that they lose the first level (BPAAR) hearing. Allegheny County has indicated that once a bypass application is filed, the county will then send a notice sustaining the current Allegheny County assessment and the property owner will have to pay a $106.00 appeal fee.

The problem is that the first level hearing is often the best opportunity to obtain the lowest reduction, and it is hard to advise clients that they should consent to losing the first hearing. Especially considering, that commercial property owners are given the opportunity to present an appraisal and/or other evidence without ever having to share it with the taxing entities beforehand. This means that you gain the element of surprise with your evidence. Also, taxing entities will not have any time to prepare for cross-examination of your evidence and typically have zero evidence prepared to present at the BPAAR.

Also, if you are able to obtain a large reduction from the Allegheny County assessment, there is no guarantee that any of the taxing entities will timely file a second appeal, meaning the case is over. This means that sometimes commercial property owners can receive large assessment reductions at the first level, with minimal scrutiny and/or appeals from the taxing entities.

Our Opinion

our opinion on commercial tax appeal

We have always been a strong advocate of using the entire appeals process if possible. We have had many cases where we have won significant reductions at the BPAAR, which were never appealed by the school district to the BOV because they simply missed it. Sometimes, the taxing entities miss filing a second appeal, even when they meant to, and if you choose the bypass process, you lose that opportunity.

If you can afford to pay the additional property tax increase, without impacting your own finances or causing financial strain to your tenants, then we prefer to use the entire appeals process and decline the County’s offer to bypass the BPAAR hearing.

However, if the new Allegheny County assessment is going to have a significant impact on your own short-term finances or those of your tenants, then we will sometimes recommend bypassing the BPAAR hearing and moving directly to the BOV. This is a complicated decision that needs to be jointly made with your counsel.

If you are a commercial property owner and have questions about the commercial bypass procedure or an Allegheny County property assessment issue, please feel free to contact us for a free consultation.

Following the mapping and identification of the fake news business model, the PHD Italy perspective has been included in sociologist Andrea Fontana’s latest book, ‘Fake News: sicuri che sia falso?’ (‘Fake News: are you sure it’s fake?’).

The theme is a ‘hot topic’ that calls into question all the actors in the media landscape. We are in the post-truth era, strong emotions go far and are worth more than the truth itself. As a result of these dynamics, fake news feeds a sense of distrust in traditional media, where the truth is to constantly fight against falsehood.

After contributing a PHD take on the issue of ‘fake news’ with the ‘Fake You! Too True to Be False’ event in June, PHD Italy was asked to reflect on the topic once again for Fontana’s book.

“We have developed a model that has allowed us to reconstruct the fake news chain, from the creation phase to the monetization phase,” explains Daniela Della Riva, Strategic Director of PHD Italy and member of the AssoCom and AGCOM working groups.

“Only the knowledge of the ecosystem of fake news,” Riva continues, “can help media agencies, brands, publishers and large networks, such as Facebook and Google, avoid becoming financiers unaware, and to understand and discourage this social phenomenon. It is our duty to promote accountable and transparent planning.”

PHD Italy has decided to dive into the heart of the matter, looking for a relevant point of view for customers and clients. “In the era of post-truth,” concludes Riva, “if on one side it seems more difficult to get the attention of consumers, the other gives us the opportunities to learn new ways to build a relationship with them.”
