Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
In this column, over the past several years, I have written about the transformation of the U.S. biotech industry from one dominated by development-stage companies, including public companies recording little revenues and substantial losses, to an industry still dominated by development-stage companies but with the public biotech sector reporting relatively substantial revenues and total annual net income for the very first time in 2008. In that year, according to Ernst & Young's biotechnology survey, the U.S. public biotech sector's total revenues and net income reached $65 billion and $400 million, respectively.
In 2009, 2010, and 2011, again from Ernst & Young's biotechnology surveys, the corresponding revenues totaled $56 billion, $61 billion, and $59 billion, respectively, and the corresponding net income totaled $3.7 billion, $5.2 billion, and $3.3 billion, respectively. So at first glance it seems as if the biotech industry has now reached its maturity, but first glances can be deceiving. A quick trip through history may shed some light.
During the biotech industry's early years, in the last three decades of the 20th century, less advanced technology and insufficient knowledge of the underlying science limited the opportunities to create new products. For example, recombinant DNA was initially utilized to enable the manufacture of a relatively small number of otherwise naturally occurring, well-characterized molecules such as human insulin, human growth hormone, and the interferons. Therefore, competition to create a similar product was considerably more prevalent than it is today.
What is almost unique about biotechnology today is that competition to provide a particular product does not necessarily result in winners and losers, because the potential marketplace for a wide variety of biotech solutions is so huge, and both the technology and the underlying science are advancing at an ever-accelerating pace.
As to how quickly the technology and the underlying science have evolved, one example should suffice. The culmination of the Human Genome Project was the sequencing of the human genome. The project cost $3 billion over a 13-year period ending in 2003. Service providers are now driving the cost and time required for sequencing a human genome down to $1,000 and one day.
Product development opportunities have become numerous. For example, there are thousands of currently untreatable hereditary diseases that someday may be effectively treated. Likewise, there is a vast multitude of potential applications of personalized medicine, which might result in more effective treatment of disorders that are currently less than adequately managed.
Today, the ability to raise capital, the inventiveness of a company's scientists, and the leadership capabilities of management are more likely to determine the success or failure of the company, rather than whether or not some other company develops a similar product first.
Around 70 years ago, Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter coined the term, "creative destruction". In essence, entrepreneurial innovations disrupt the status quo. Up-and-coming companies overtake the former leaders, which then fade away. As I noted in the January 15, 2011, issue of GEN, "When one considers the vibrant pattern of financings, internal growth, acquisitions, and yes, closings in the biotech industry, it clearly fits Schumpeter's model of creative destruction."
However, that is not the whole story. While creative destruction certainly applies to the biotech industry, so does what one might call creative acquisition. In other words, successful firms do not necessarily lead to the failures of other firms but rather to their own acquisition by larger firms. Creative acquisition is a function of the ever-increasing growth potential of the biotech industry.
For example, of the 10 largest revenue-producing U.S. public biopharmaceutical companies for 2005, four were acquired between 2006 and the close of 2009, and two were acquired during 2011. Novartis acquired Chiron in 2006, AstraZeneca acquired MedImmune in 2007, Takeda acquired Millenium in 2008, Roche acquired Genentech in 2009, and during 2011, Sanofi-Aventis acquired Genzyme, and Teva acquired Cephalon.
In 2005, total revenues and total net income reported by the top 10 companies amounted to $32 billion and $6.2 billion, respectively, whereas in 2011, the corresponding figures were $39 billion and $9.4 billion, or 22% and 52% greater, respectively. The four companies that were among the top ten in both 2005 and 2011—Amgen, Gilead, Biogen Idec, and Celgene—reported total revenues and total net income of $17 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively, in 2005, which increased 100% and 91% to $34 billion and $9.0 billion, respectively, in 2011.
What is even more impressive from the standpoint of percentage growth is the performance of the six companies that were among the top ten for 2011 but not for 2005. Those six companies—Vertex, Alexion, Cubist, United Therapeutics, Amylin, and ViroPharma—reported total revenues of $0.67 billion for 2005, increasing around 630% to $4.9 billion for 2011, and a total net loss of $0.39 billion in 2005, converting to total net income of $0.35 billion in 2011.
The next three largest U.S. public biopharmaceutical companies—Regeneron, Onyx, and Dendreon—reported total revenues over $1.2 billion in 2011, increasing 1,700% from $67 million in 2005. Moreover, Regeneron reported $536 million of revenues for the first six months of 2012, more than double the $220 million of revenues reported for the first six months of 2011.
Clearly, the biotech industry is exploiting loads of opportunities, and big pharma is increasingly attracted to the highly creative technology platforms of the biotech sector.
Yet, despite the presence of creative acquisition, as well as creative destruction, the number of biotech companies remains relatively constant. According to Ernst & Young, the total number of public and private biotech companies in the U.S. was 1,699, 1,914, and 1,879 in 2009, 2010, and 2011, respectively.
Thus, successful biotech companies will continue to be acquired by big pharma, but those companies will be replaced by a new batch of up-and-comers, and new companies will continually be formed. It will be a long time before the biotech sector will have reached its maturity.

One of the greats of Japanese fashion design, Yohji Yamamoto presented his first eponymous collection in Tokyo in 1977 before debuting at the Paris ready-to-wear shows in 1981. A menswear collection followed in 1984. The Yohji Yamamoto look is avant-garde and somehow removed from seasonal trends. He often employs oversized garments within his designs, with black usually the staple shade. Yohji's understanding of fabric and how it drapes on the body give his collections a unique quality.

Ray Ban Sunglasses
Ray Ban Sunglasses
About Ray Ban The Brand
Ray Ban's iconic collection of sunglasses are the ultimate cool accessories. Whether you're looking for the rock 'n' roll flair of a Wayfarer, or the laid back attitude of an Aviator, Ray Ban is a brand with a long heritage in eyewear - and they've learned a few things along the way.
Beginning in 1936, Ray Ban's innovation spawned the classic Aviator. The tear-drop shape being the most efficient way to block light from entering the eye, it was issued to US pilots. General MacArthurs's aviators, worn landing on the beach during World War 2, furthered civilian demand of the frame and a classic was born. It wasn't until 1952 that Ray Ban developed the Wayfarer, with plastic frames seen as the material of the future. More recently, the brand has seen a huge resurgence with Ray Bans becoming a 'wardrobe staple' for fashionistas; as well as having universal appeal amongst, well, just about everybody. We have seen the re-invention of classic styles, such as wooden and aluminium clubmasters, 'distressed' aviators and wayfarers, and the use of leather on several frames in the collection.
Ray Ban's image has led to the brand being seen in countless films and on the faces of rock stars all over the world - usually without any official Ray Ban input. From the classic Blues Brothers catapulting the Wayfarer into being the musician's sunglass of choice, to the 80s excess of The Wolf of Wall St, Ray Bans are still seen as a way for a character to be portrayed as cool.

Mississippi State has been active recently in lining up future home-and-home series' against power five conference opponents.
In June, the Bulldogs announced a 2022-23 football series against the Arizona Wildcats. Then earlier this month, MSU scheduled a series with the NC State Wolfpack for 2020 and 2021.
In what could be a first, Mississippi State director of athletics Scott Stricklin and Kansas State director of athletics John Currie agreed today, on Twitter, to a home-and-home football series to be played in 2018 and 2019.
Here are how the tweets played out:
In his #Chillin4Charity video @John_Currie invites @HailStateFB to play at K-State. '16 in Manhattan, '17 in Starkville? #HailState
— Scott Stricklin (@stricklinMSU) July 11, 2014
@stricklinMSU @HailStateFB Already got some stuff working then – how about '18 MHK, '19 Starkvegas? #KState #Family
— John Currie (@John_Currie) July 11, 2014
So, @HailStateFB vs @KState_Football: '18 in Manhattan; '19 in Starkville. Pleasure doing business with you, @John_Currie. #HailState
— Scott Stricklin (@stricklinMSU) July 11, 2014
The Chillin' 4 Charity video that Stricklin references is available to view on Youtube. Scott Stricklin had earlier tweeted John Currie and challenged him to have a bucket of ice water dumped on him, which is the crux of #Chillin4Charity.
After having three buckets of ice water dumped on him by K-State football players, John Currie offers a challenge to Scott Stricklin at Mississippi State.
"Now, we've got one more thing here for Scott Stricklin and Mississippi State. We think that Mississippi State ought to come here to Bill Snyder Family Stadium and play a little football sometime."
That sometime looks like it will be 2018 in Manahattan, with K-State returning the trip to Starkville in 2019.
Should the two athletic directors put pen to paper, the 2018 game will be the first meeting between the two since a home-and-home series back in 1974 and 1977. The Bulldogs won both contests, but later forfeited the 1977 result.
The series would also satisfy Mississippi State's power five non-conference scheduling mandate for 2018 and 2019. MSU still needs opponents for 2016 and 2017, however, and those were the two dates that Stricklin initially requested.
Kansas State now has, tentatively, two non-conference opponents set for both the 2018 and 2019 seasons. The Wildcats are scheduled to host UTSA in 2018 and Bowling Green in 2019.
Football Schedules
K-State vs. Mississippi State? I like it. Nice two game series for both schools (and die-hard college football fans).
Glad to see K-State scheduling a "power 5" conference team. I think there was a bit of a fear that, now that Snyder is back, the improvements he brings to their team would be coupled with the return to cupcake-only OOC schedules. Mississippi State isn't a world beater year in and out, but it's not a bad sign. Hope they come up with a good series for 2016-2017 too. Baylor, come on. Everyone else is doing something in OOC games. That Duke series isn't nearly enough.
Wonder what K-State has 'workin' in 16 & 17? It wouldn't be against Oregon as Snyder cancelled that series.
At least, I assume KSU is 'workin' on a home-and-home with a power conference program. Arizona, Washington, BC, WF, Syracuse and NC St appear to have openings.
But Snyder has a problem playing across time zones.
I was wondering the same thing. The first thing I thought of was renewing some Big 8 Rivalries.. but Nebraska and Colorado are booked for 16/17, Mizzou is open….THAT would be interesting. Texas A&M is open for 16/17 as well.
Actually he didn't cancel the Oregon series, they tried to get out of coming to Manhattan (they still wanted KSU to play there), Snyder said No dice, so the series was cancelled all together
Right on about Baylor. How can anyone appreciate such scheduling? With a schedule like that they will be playing for a spot in the Texas Bowl or Cactus bowl. Nothing more.
One has to wonder if there has to be some athletic office in-breeding going on with those annual TCU/SMU and Baylor/SMU matchups. That big game between Baylor and Incarnate Word is coming up in 2019. I wonder of the Bears AD has give any thought to turning that into a big annual rivalry.
You also gotta not love future Kansas schedules. The Jayhawks have a game at Duke this coming season, and a home-and-home with the Big Ten juggernaut Rutgers.
I wonder of the KU and KSU AD's wished they were in different conferences so they could too have the luxury of one those annual in-state cross-conference games, Same with Purdue/Indiana, Missi/MissiSt, Duke/WF and NC/NC St.
Makes scheduling much easier, just as it does for the Iowa, Kentucky, Colorado and schools.
Hope to see Pitt-Penn St reestablished as a permanent rivalry (2020 and thereafter).
FlaSt-Fla, Clemson-SoCar, and Geo-GT are pretty good non-conference rivalries. Texas is foolish for not wanting to play TAM in an annual game. And same for Notre Dame for dropping the annual Michigan game.
I have no problem with TCU/SMU or even Baylor/SMU. The former is a long-term rivalry that is coming up on its 100th meeting. And it just makes sense that there be some DFW area rivalries (even if SMU/UNT feels more even these days). There are a few less games with Baylor and SMU but they're dead even where record goes, and there's still over 70 games played between the two. Really though, I mean, Texas teams want to play other Texas teams in their OOC schedules and that makes sense. Keep SMU, just don't let that be the biggest game on the OOC slate. It's just about ideal for a second or third game. For TCU, I'd make more a point that they should drop the FCS teams and keep the schedule, at least, a power-5 team (with occasional BIG NAME team), SMU, and someone from the MWC or C-USA. I wouldn't complain if there were 2 power-5 and SMU, but that may be a bit too optimistic of me. Baylor I look at similarly. I'd love a bigger jump in opponents than this, but if you took the 2 FCS teams for 2014 and 2015 and replaced them with… I don't care… BC? NC State? Illinois? Vandy? WSU? That would help a ton. And if you made it someone more like Tennessee, Arizona, Miami, or Minnesota, that'd be great.
I'll chime on on the "Texas is foolish…" thing and say, at the time that A&M walked out the door, there simply wasn't a hole in the schedule. As a die-hard UT fan, if you were to ask me if I'd prefer that Texas drop a big game for each season in order to play A&M… or keep games against UCLA, Cal, Notre Dame, USC, or Arkansas… I'd laugh in your face. Maryland isn't as big a deal, but still a decent game matched up with USC… and Ohio State is a series that fits the mold of the others that I listed, I just would prefer to have played someone else after the experience our fans had in Columbus. Should be exciting, but come on, if it had to be Big 10, give us Wisconsin or Michigan or someone else. And, the way college football works, there's no way that they'd keep those games and put A&M on instead of the C-USA or AAC team. Notre Dame, Cal, and A&M, or USC, Maryland, A&M as a OOC slate just isn't realistic in the current college football climate.
I have no problem with A&M eventually popping up on our schedule, but I'll be honest… we play 3 Texas teams every year in conference already (and OU and OSU might as well count with how many Texas people go there or follow them). We should definitely keep scheduling Rice, UTEP, UNT, etc, as our "lite" third game, but if you want to set us up for an annual game against A&M or rotate through where we play one HUGE name football school (Clemson, Florida State, Virginia Tech, Mighigan, Penn State, Wisconsin, Oregon, Stanford, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, LSU) and one other decent power-5 opponent (virtually anyone else in the power-5 conferences)… I'm sorry, A&M made sense as a conference game, but i feel like UT fans and UT football would get more out of playing the programs that I listed.
To help illustrate my point… while Texas is a big state, and A&M is closer than a lot of the opponents to Austin, Texas plays 9 games within the state of Texas this year, 9 games within the state next year, 8 games the year after, 9 again the following year, and so on. While there would certainly be some buzz around Texas playing A&M right now (because of the recent history between the two schools and the conference shift) and while it's pretty silly that the rivalry ended (just like it's silly that A&M's rivalry with Tech, OU, Baylor, OSU, etc, ended) a game against LSU or Florida… Notre Dame or USC… Oregon or Ohio State… is going to get more national buzz in general. A win against those teams, in any given year, would start the national title buzz and a loss would, honestly, have less of a direct effect than the same thing against A&M where the positive focus from a win would mostly be for in-state fans and the negative effects of a loss could influence recruiting more directly. Just speaking logically…
As a fan, playing other high-level programs with great history… seeing them come to Austin and getting to check out their home turf… is just more exciting overall.
texas a&m has passed texas so quickly that you others longhorns fans don't realize or refuse to accept it. the aggies are destroying ut in recruiting and has become the top program in the state. the move to the SEC was so big that ut fans will regret it for decades. have you seen the new stadium under construction that will seat 106,000 this season. as for as out of conference opponents ut has 3 name home games the next 6 years, one every other year. playing ou in dallas every year leaves the longhorns with pathetic home schedules year after year. meanwhile the aggies play lsu, Alabama, auburn, Arkansas, south Carolina and ole miss every year guaranteeing better home schedules year after year. never underestimate the power of the SEC.
and btw i'm not an aggie fan or I would be calling yall tu or teasips. what I am is a college football fanatic and have studied the history of this great sport for all of my 55 years. I like the texas program and its history but yall made a massive history-altering move by chasing Nebraska, a&m and mizzou away thinking you could go it alone. recruiting alone since the aggies came over is amazing. have you seen this years commits? ut has no one in the texas top 20 while the aggies have 11 and ou 4. and i'll add coach strong is unproven having won 11 games last year by playing only one p5 team ( uk ) while at Louisville.
And then there is Baylor and Art Briles…Do we need to say more about OOC scheduling.
The big question is it reasonable to question if the 74 year old Bill Snyder will still be coaching when he is 78? How is it looking for some P5 OOC games in 2015 2016 2017? Bill, get back to me when that happens.
I do think a KSU-MSU game is appropriate level scheduling for both teams at this time.
Baylot: Where can I get my tickets for Incarnate World in 2019?
MSU is getting closer to meeting their 9 P5 games per year the SEC requires. And as I expected it started further out in time and is working back toward the present. I suspect they already have a 2016-17 opponent lined up, but are working out the details – these announcements seem planned. Wonder who it is?
Frankly I think its a good thing the SEC and ACC are requiring 9 P5 games, as we get more quality match ups. For their fans it means a good OOC home game every other year, not just a couple of G5 schools and an FCS opponent, which is a bit of a rip off for the ticket prices.
In an interesting story on this site there was a story about the teams which have the longest streak of not playing P5 opponents that list had number 1 Texas Texas and Number 2 Baylor.. TT has not played a P5 opponent OOC since 2007. Baylor since 2009. Rounding out the list were Utah, TAMU Kansas and Colorado Outside of Utah(Which was not in a P5 conference until recently) all of the others were or had been in the Big 12. Seems like it was a common practice for some Big 12 teams.
At this time TT Kansas and TAMU each end that streak. Baylor will proudly carry on their streak.
After going through all of the P5 OOC Schedules for 2016 here is a list of those who do not have a P5 OOC game scheduled. (Didn't look at the Big 12 becasue I'm looking for interesting OOC possibilities for K State.
Miss St
NC State
Washington St
I think the most realistic possibilities are
1. home and home vs Mizzou
2. home and home vs Arkansas
3. 16 Arizona at K State, 17, K State vs Arizona at University of Phoenix Stadium (in 16 Arizona is hosting BYU at University of Phoenix Stadium)
*I think you're spot on with Mizzou. KU still has isssssues with Mizzou having left. Mizzou playing KSU for a home and away, really exposes KU for NOT having been the victim. Plus, it sets up Mizzou getting a home'n'away with KU set up after. People will say to KU, if KSU can make a home'n'away work, why can't you? Why do you insist on playing in Kansas City, when Columbia's on the same interstate?
*Arkansas's already set those years, although it would be an interesting game. (And I-49 won't be done around Bella Vista for five or more years, so it really isn't much different from its I-540+US 71 days. A few interchanges between Joplin and KC didn't really speed it up much.)
*Your list is interesting and suggests an article for FBSchedules… what schools that now have the P5 OOC requirement (SEC and ACC) are unscheduled in future years?? I'd leave off the PAC guys, and just focus on these:
SEC: UA, Ark, AU, MSU, Mizzou
ACC: BC, Clem, FSU, Miami, NCSU, Syracuse
It sure would be fascinating to encourage the return of an AU-FSU series (AU's played Clemson plenty lately, and this past title game was awesome), and a UA-Miami series.
MSU should sign up fellow land-grants NCSU or Clemson for a series. Ark could take whichever MSU doesn't sign… and Mizzou should aim for Syracuse or BC, since they like to be connected to northern schools….
I will start with the obvious mistakes on your list….FSU plays Florida every year, Clemson plays South Carolina every year. Beyond those mistakes for traditional rivals in 2016 NC State plays ND Syracuse plays ND Miami plays ND,
In most years FSU and Clemson have two OOC games with opponents from P5 opponents or what was BCS opponents. And before you say in 2012 and 2013 FSU only played the one P5 opponent (Florida) you need to keep in mind before the start of the 2012 season, WVU cancelled the series for 2012 and 2013 with FSU, when WVU became a member of the Big 12.
*Darn it, I knew I should have taken a moment and checked your list for errors.
*Still, your list was interesting and suggests a 2016 article for FBSchedules… what schools that now have the P5 OOC requirement (SEC and ACC) are unscheduled in year 2016?? With the corrections, and removing UA since they're playing USC that pulls UA off. I had left off the PAC guys, but now putting them back:
SEC: Ark, AU, MSU, Mizzou
ACC: BC, Clem
PAC: Arizona, Utah, Wazzu
So, AU playing Clemson again is boring. AU has a lot of alumni in the Northeast (like me), and a game with BC in Boston for a home'n'away series would really be good.
Arkansas v. Arizona sounds like a good intersectional game.
MSU should sign up fellow land-grant Clemson.
Wazzu v. Mizzou is just fun.
That satisfies everyone. Utah, should play BYU.
Tully – Your are correct and (once again) I was wrong on FSU (Florida) and Clemson (South Carolina).
Notre Dame is a bit of a different story. Notre Dame is now an Associate Member of the ACC in Football so Notre Dame is an "ACC Conference Game" for North Carolina State, Syracuse and Miami.
Final thought on K State 2016, 2017
After thinking it over for a while I have come to the conclusion it will have to be Arkansas. (unless of course as usual I am wrong)
(1) When K State won its first Big 12 Championship, Brett Bielema was Bill Snyder's Defensive Coordinator. I don't know if they have any sort of bond but it stands to reason, they would.
(2) With the completion of I-49 north out of Fayetteville to Kansas City, Arkansas and K State are separated by a mere 4 1/2 to 5/12 hr drive. (depending upon how fast you drive).
(3) As an OOC home and home opportunity only Mizzou is within the same driving distance, making it one of only 2 real options for 2016 and 2017 that allow fans to drive to the away game
(4) It seems that Mizzou fans would like to rekindle the rivalry with Kansas (and who wouldn't want an easy P5 OOC win) So Mizzou may not be available to K State
(5) Nebraska, K States closest natural rival, probably won't be available in the forseeable future due to the Big 10 – PAC 12 scheduling alliance.
(6) Miss State is the next closest and the fact that K State put them off for something already "in the works" must be either Mizzou or Arkansas.
(7) There are no other names on the P5 (open) Dance Card for 1017 – 2017 that make a whole lot of sense, Auburn and Miami? (been there) Alabama, FSU, Clemson probably not available to K State, Arizona would probably require a renting out University of Phoenix Stadium, (no one want to play Arizona or Arizona State in Arizona in September. BC, NC State, Syracuse, Utah, Washington State are all over 1,000 miles away.
Arkansas actually has TCU for a home-and-home in 2016 and 2017 so they're unlikely to schedule Kansas State then, although they might in the 2020's which would be great.

I am trying to see if there is a way to use the homepage theme (just the link boxes and not the slider) for a page inside the site which will have multiple options.
I have selected the home template instead of blog but is there a way to change it just so that i change it for the page and not the homepage?
I am on the free version so far if that makes a difference.

So, it seems like it should be simple but it is almost 1:00 in the morning and I can't see it. I want my blog to have the same layout as the Pinboard demo site - like the screenshot on this page. http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/pinboard
Basically it looks like a header with a top menu and 2 columns of content and a sidebar. I tried changing the columns in the options and it only changes the older posts; the two newest always show as full size in one column.
Also, is there a trick so when you crop the header it actually crops it instead of cropping and stretching so it is distorted?
Sorry if these are basic questions, I am new to WordPress.

A struggling newbie here.
I'm using Twenty Ten. While attempting to center my navigation bar, I accidentally moved it up above my Header image.
I'm not using a child theme (but will attempt to set one up within the next day or two)
MY CSS looks like this (Header and Menu only)
[Unnecessary CSS removed]
Can anybody advise me, how to the navigation bar back down (and keep it centered at the same time), please.
Many thanks

An integral fuzzy sliding mode control scheme is proposed for control objects with uncertain parameters and strong disturbances. The control approach introduces a new method of decomposition to overcome the strict constraint of model format in conventional sliding mode variable structure control, and add integral control to eliminate the assumption that the derivative of desired signal must be known. Fuzzy logic control is used to estimate the unknown uncertainties. The sign function of the switching surface function is replaced by a suitable saturate function to reduce the system chattering. The proposed method is applied to generator speed tracking control of a large-scale variable speed wind turbine. Simulation results indicate that the control approach is robust and improves tracking accuracy considerably.

Reviews for Ice Cream Cookie Dessert
"This recipe was a huge hit! I made it for a work potluck and everyone loved it. My daughter also requested it as her birthday dessert. I used one package of double stuffed oreos. Ended up using about 3 cups for the crust and saved the rest for the topping. I also needed extra fudge to get it properly covered. Awesome recipe!"
"This was delicious and the fact that you can change the ice cream flavor to suit gives a lot of options. I made my own fudge sauce and topped with real whipped cream. Even with letting the dessert set out for 10 minutes, it was hard to cut. Next time, I will try pre-cutting the servings before freezing."
"Move over Carvel !! No need to buy an ice cream cake now. You can change up the flavors to suit everyone's taste. Yummy!!"
"Love this dessert as do my 3 sons! I use coffee ice cream. I will use another reviewer's suggestion and try it with real whip cream next time. I think that would improve it even more!"
"Try with orange ice cream! :) Mmm!"
"wow! made this recipe today!! family loved it! Can't go wrong with oreo's and icecream:) debpenns"
"My sister gave me this recipe years ago and it's been a favorite ever since! You can't go wrong with this dessert! I like to add double hot fudge!"
"This looks so good, but I'm going to make it with chocolate chip cookies.....my families favorite! It looks easy and sooo tasty."
"Excellent summer dessert after a barbeque. I also add caramel topping in addition to the fudge topping. Instead of coolwhip I use real whipped cream. In addition to the extra cookie crumbs, I also sprinkle about a 1/3 cup crushed salted peanuts on top. I've been making this dessert for over 40yrs, first for my children, now my grandchildren."
"Delicious when made with mint chocolate chip or peppermint ice cream for the Christmas holiday!!"
"I use hot fudge topping & caramel topping, they now make oreo cookie crumbs."
"Yummy! Perfect for a hot summer dessert!"
"This is both my son's favorite cake. It is requested every year for birthdays. The only thing I do differently is, 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, not 1/4, mixing all cookie crumbs together with butter, saving 1/2-2/3 cup for topping. Plus, I don't bother freezing in steps. I have everything ready and just layer it then cover and freeze. It is MUCH better than store bought ice cream cakes."
"Excellent.. will definitely make again!"
"My whole family loved this. I think that next time I will try peanut butter cream filled cookies and butterscotch topping."
"yummy! enjoyed by all my family"
"Very easy to make! Will make this again and again!"

In short, I've been running a WordPress personal blog for several years now, but suffered a number of malicious attacks earlier this year, meaning I've had to delete the whole site and rebuild from scratch. I'd now like to import the contents of my old SQL database into a new SQL database which already contains some posts. I'm using mySQL as the backend through myserverworld.net. Is this possible and, if so, does anyone know how I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance,

He told them they had to quit it, which they did, "15 to 20 seconds later." The pair then tried to escape but were caught and charged including with conspiracy, indecent exposure, resisting arrest, lewdness, and, of course, loitering.

In the process of switching from Cymbalta to Pristiq so have to wean off of the Cymbalta which I presently take at night. After reading some of the reviews it looks as though everyone has some insomnia on Pristiq. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fybro, extreme fatigue and have gained lots of weight from the Cymbalta. So I need to get my energy back, take away my pain and hopefully lose some weight in the meantime just wanted some feedback to what everyone thinks about a good time to take the medication.
When is the best time to take Pritiq?

There has no particular time documented for taking Pristiq, however general considerations for when and how to take Pristiq include the following:
* The medication comes in the form of an extended-release tablet and is taken by mouth once a day.
* You can take Pristiq with or without food.
* Be sure to swallow the tablets whole. Do not crush, break, or chew them.
* Pristiq should be taken at the same time each day to maintain an even level in your blood.
* For the drug to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. Pristiq will not work if you stop taking it. Do not stop taking it without your healthcare provider's approval.
For more details, please seek medical attention from the doc/pharmacist who prescribed the med, take care, be safe & well!

When I add an item to my basket and then go to checkout my site looks fine in Firefox but when I view it in IE (I'm using 8 + 9) the checkout page is not lined up right.

Leading the Way, Our Future Warriors- My Brother's Keeper
On March 21, 2014 the U.S. Department of Education released the 2011-2012 Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC). The CRDC is a vital resource that provides the public with the opportunity to search how our nation and individual states, districts, and schools serve all students of color, English learners, and students with disabilities. This marks the first time since 2000 that the Department collected data from every public school in the nation.
The troubling disparities that the data revealed should remind us of the importance of ensuring that all students have equal access to educational opportunities. For example:
- Fewer than 50% of American Indian and Native-Alaskan high school students have access to the full range of math and science courses in their high school.
- Nationwide, 1 in 5 high schools lacks a school counselor.
- American Indian/Alaska Native students represent 1% of student enrollment but account for 3% of the referrals to law enforcement and 2% of school related arrests.
- American Indian/Alaska Native males represent 13% of out-of-school suspensions in the United States.
The data proves it: Boys and young men of color — regardless of where they come from — are disproportionately at risk from their youngest years, through college, to the early stages of their professional lives. While the Administration has made consistent progress on important goals like reducing high school dropout rates and lowering unemployment, persistent gaps in employment, educational outcomes and career skills remain for many boys and young men of color.
In order to address the persistent gaps, the President established the My Brother's Keeper Initiative which is an interagency effort to address the persistent opportunity gaps and measurably improve the expected educational and life outcomes faced by boys and young men of color. The Initiative will help determine which public and private efforts are working and how to expand upon them, how the Federal Government's own policies and programs can better support these efforts, and how to better involve State, Tribal and local officials, the private sector, and the philanthropic community.
To better assist the function and mission of the task force, the White House Initiative on American Indian and Alaska Native Education will host a series of round table discussions throughout Indian Country. The round tables will bring young American Indian and Alaska Native boys and men together to talk about issues they are facing, possible solutions and to hear stories that demonstrate how they are creating and expanding ladders of opportunities.
The first of these round table discussions were held in Washington, D.C. on March 14th in collaboration with CLOSE UP's American Indian Youth Summit, held in conjunction with the National Congress of American Indian's Winter Executive session. The young men who participated in the round table were from nine different Tribal nations. Since 1989, Close Up has partnered with leading American Indian and Alaska Native organizations to connect with Tribes, schools and youth organizations throughout the country to engage and recruit Native youth and educators for their programs.
Jim Shelton, Deputy Secretary of Education and Executive director of the Task Force, and William Mendoza, Executive Director of the White House Initiative on American Indian and Alaska Native Education, met with the young men at the U.S. Department of Education. During the discussion these young men were able to share different issues they face and projects they are working on in their community. Issues the young men touched upon included the importance of a strong supportive family, resisting drugs and alcohol, and suicide prevention. The young men believed that addressing these issues would improve their educational environment and their academic performance.

Post Written by Sophie Newman
Washington, D.C- WHIAIANE is excited to start spreading the word about our new project, the Native Student Environment Initiative (NSEI). NSEI, created in response to testimonial gathered during WHIAIANE's 2014 listening sessions tour, aims to address four main target areas for Native student concerns: imagery and symbolism, stereotypes, bullying and school discipline.
On July 8th, WHIAIANE, in collaboration with staff from the Technical Assistance Group at ED, hosted a webinar for the Comprehensive Centers and the Equity Assistance Centers to introduce NSEI. WHIAIANE heard insights from participants regarding outreach, engagement and execution of NSEI and learned about current and historic efforts in place to address Native student environment issues.
WHIAIANE looks forward to continuing this conversation about NSEI with upcoming webinars open to the public, which will introduce resources like the 2014 Listening Sessions Report and toolkits targeted towards youth and NSEI's four main initiatives.

AIAN Teacher in the Spotlight
A Native American Rural High School Teacher is Named this Year's Monsanto Fund Rural Teacher of the YearAwarded by the National Rural Education Association.
Shaun Martin, 31, draws on his Native American heritage to inspire motivation and commitment from his students. He has taught and coached for eight years at Chinle High
School in Chinle, Ariz., which enrolls about 925 students on a Navajo reservation. It was the first time rural Arizona education leaders had nominated a Native American teacher for competition.
Bill Blong, executive director of the Arizona Rural Schools Association, wrote in his nomination letter that the selection committee was impressed with the young teacher who works to be a good influence and dynamic mentor.
"Mr. Martin uses the ancient practice of distance running as a catalyst to teach self-discipline, commitment, and fortitude to impart the Navajo Way to his students," he wrote. "He uses running as a positive activity and its discipline as a way to overcome the hardships of reservation life."
Martin grew up running alongside his father, who was raised in a traditional Navajo family. They'd wake at 5 a.m. and run to the East to meet the sun. His father told him, "Running in the morning to meet the sun and holy people is how we celebrate life, it's how we pray, and it's a mentor to teach us about life."
Martin knew he wanted to be a coach and teacher by middle school, and he never wavered from that goal. He was recruited to run at Northern Arizona University and accepted an academic scholarship from the Navajo Nation. He was among only a handful of Native American athletes in the NCAA Division 1 athletic program.
He graduated from college in 2004 and took the teaching position in Chinle on the reservation. He said in his competition application that he strives to teach students the most valuable lesson he's learned: turning negative situations into positive ones.
He implemented a distance running program at Chinle High and at the district's other six schools. For students in grades 2 through 12, Martin uses the club to link distance-running skills to success in the classroom and in life.
His cross-country and track teams have won 13 state titles, and 14 runners have been individual state champions. But he said his most significant accomplishment is that 44 of his students have gone to college on athletic or academic scholarships. Many students in his community don't go to college.
Martin said in his application for the award that many of his school's students face significant challenges, such as homes without running water or electricity, traveling as far as 45 miles one way to get to school, drug and alcohol abuse, and single-parent families. He said he tries to teach them to "only focus on the variables you can control, don't stress the uncontrollable."
The Rural Teacher of the Year award receives a $2,000 honorarium, and the school district receives $1,000 for instructional materials and school supplies. Martin presented at the National Rural Education Association convention and research symposium on Oct. 13 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Education Drives America 2012 Bus Tour
Elko: Community collaboration is key
At the Great Basin Indian Education Roundtable on day two of ED's cross-country bus tour, it was clear that education really does drive America. During Thursday's first event at Great Basin College in Elko, Nev., we witnessed how communities can come together.
William Mendoza, director of the White House Initiative on American Indian and Alaska Native Education led the panel that featured Deb Delisle, assistant secretary for the office of elementary and secondary education, Nevada Tribal leaders, Nevada's state superintendent, representatives from institutions of higher education, representatives from Title VII and Impact Aid school grantees, teachers, parents, students, and community members.
"It was refreshing to hear about best practices we can learn from and most especially share with other communities so they can best meet the needs of their children" -Asst Secretary Deb Delisle.
ED officials listened to panelists as they described the challenges they are facing, but also how school districts and communities are working together to improve education for Native American students.
"Native Americans are a significant portion of our enrollment and community. It is important that we reach out to them as effectively as we can" – John Rice, Great Basin College's Chief Development Officier
The roundtable included: Gerald Temoke, chairman of the Elko Band of Indians; James W. Guthrie, Nevada superintendent of education; Sherry Rupert, executive director of the Nevada Indian Commission; Deb Delisle, Asst Secretary of the Office of Elementary and Seconday Education; Bill Mendoza, director of the White House Initiative on American Indian and Alaskan Native Education; Dr Mark Curtis, president of Great Basin College; Mike McFarlane, vice president of academic affairs for Great Basin College, Thad Ballard, president of the Elko County School Board; Lori Pasqua, pre-college advisor for the Washoe Tribe education department; Lynn Manning, Indian education program coordinator for Washoe Country school district; Carol Couchum, teacher at Oywhee Combined School in Elko County school district.

AIAN Principal in the Spotlight
WA School Leader Named National HS Principal of the Year
Trevor Greene helped rural, high-poverty school overcome the odds
Trevor Greene, principal of Toppenish High School in Toppenish, WA, has been named the 2013 MetLife/NASSP (National Association of Secondary School Principals) National High School Principal of the Year. The award was announced at a surprise assembly attended by students, teachers, district staff members, State Superintendent Randy Dorn, and representatives from the state legislature and Sen. Patty Murray's office. Greene was honored during a black-tie gala on September 21 in Washington, DC, to kick off National Principals Month.
In transforming Toppenish High School into a high-performing place of learning, Trevor Greene brought a renewed sense of hope to rural Washington. Nestled on the Yakama Indian Reservation, Toppenish serves a high-minority (95%), high-poverty (100%) student population. Because he grew up on the reservation, Greene saw the consequences of generational poverty, and he made it his personal mission to return to the area and bring the community together to support students' education.
Greene made parental engagement a priority, reaching out to migrant families and families from the Yakama Nation. A migrant advocate on-staff ensures that the needs of students from that special population are being met. Greene also brought in a graduation specialist who keeps students on track to graduate, and with the help of his staff, he spent the last four years directing resources to the students who need them most.
"Trevor Greene played a central role in helping Toppenish achieve significant and sustained improvement among students who are affected by poverty and its associated issues," said NASSP Executive Director JoAnn Bartoletti. "Trevor's relentless effort to increase rigor and provide opportunities for all students, regardless of socio-economic status, ensures a personalized learning environment where every student feels valued."
Knowing the importance of establishing a culture of high expectations, Greene expanded academic opportunities for his students, many of whom had never been expected to succeed, let alone graduate. He added rigorous courses, including 27 high-profile engineering and biomedical classes, a Microsoft IT Academy class, and a robotics class. To give students an opportunity to pursue postsecondary education, he made it possible for them to earn 30 college credits by the time they graduate from high school.
Thanks to Greene's encouragement, participation in rigorous STEM courses skyrocketed, the school's dropout rate decreased, and state science scores increased by 67% over a three-year period. In addition, special education students now have access to adaptive physical education and music courses, increasing engagement across the board.
"We applaud Trevor Greene for his leadership in engaging the teachers, parents, and all stakeholders in the transformation of Toppenish High School," said Derrick Kelson, vice president, MetLife. "His efforts empower students to fulfill their potential and create a brighter future for the community."
"It is important to recognize outstanding school leadership," added Dennis White, vice president of Corporate Contributions for MetLife. "The MetLife/NASSP National Principal of the Year Program acknowledges the crucial role of principals as leaders and individuals who go above and beyond to make their schools the best they can be for students, teachers, and communities."
The national principal of the year search began in early 2012 as each state principals association selected its state principal of the year. From this pool of state award winners, a panel of judges selected three middle level and three high school finalists. Trevor Greene and Laurie Barron, the national middle level winner, were then selected.
Greene and Barron each received a grant of $5,000. Grants must be used in the school to improve learning (e.g. a special school project or professional development). NASSP and MetLife are strongly committed to supporting the visions of unsung school leaders. Each year the MetLife/NASSP National Principal of the Year program focuses attention on the outstanding work principals do in middle level and high schools across the country.

Tribal Consultations
Brief History of Tribal Consultations:
The consultations were identified in the scope for our OIE contract since 2007; ED had no formal State or Tribal Consultation policy or procedure and did not hold an official tribal consultation until spring 2010. During the 2009 National Indian Education Conference, titled Partnerships in Indian Education, ED hosted a statewide Oklahoma Tribal Leaders Forum on Indian Education. Twelve of the twenty-two tribes of Oklahoma were represented during this one-day forum. The forum was coordinated with Oklahoma's department of education to bring tribal leaders/representatives together to discuss Indian education issues affecting Native students in Oklahoma and identify strategies to better serve them. Although Oklahoma has a very active statewide Indian education association and the JOM National Headquarters is based out of Tulsa, OK, the statewide tribal leader forum was the first of its kind on Indian education in Oklahoma.
Additionally, ED was a strong supporter of inter-state collaboration on Indian education and promoted ongoing communication and collaboration among state education leaders, including Chief State School Officers and State Directors of Indian Education. In particular, ED held annual meetings in partnership with the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) that focused on strengthening partnerships in Indian education at the highest level in states with large populations of Native students. These sessions were led by Chiefs and/or their Directors of Indian Education. In 2008, the group developed a value statement and agreed on goals that addressed the needs of Native students. The value statement and goals were presented to the Secretary of Education with anticipation of full support. However, as it was the last year of that administration the proposal was set aside and nothing came of it. This was the last year the group met and momentum was lost, including the coordination of activity with CCSSO and states.
After Obama's appointment as President the following was determined: "The consultation is an outgrowth of President Obama's Nov. 5, 2009 Presidential Memorandum and Executive Order 13175, which direct agencies to develop a plan of action for providing regular and meaningful consultation and strengthening of government-to-government relationships with Indian tribes" (U.S. Department of Education, 2012).
Following the President's call for all Federal agencies to develop a "Plan of Action" in November 2009 for stronger relationships with tribes, ED held its first tribal consultations in spring 2010, as well as several listening and learning sessions and in 2012 Tribal Leader Education Roundtable sessions.

In my day job as a PhD student, I do geological modeling. In my spare time (mainly for fun), I am learning Python and trying to write a simple program to view 3D geocellular models.
The geocellular model is just a 3D grid where every grid cell has some value (as shown in the right figure). So, I would want my viewer to be able to display a 3D grid model like the picture on the right side. As well, I would like it to be able to display cross sections through the model in the x, y and z directions (this is shown in the left figure).
I would also want the models to be able to rotate around all three axes and zoom in and out.
I've done some preliminary investigation (mainly here) and it seems like VisVis and VTK are two potential options. I am trying to use wxPython for the main GUI and it looks like both options will work with wxPython as far as I can tell.
Am I right when I say that I think VisVis and VTK would work for what I want? Is one preferable to the other?
Which of these two options would be the easiest to implement?
Is there another option that I also should consider?
Keep in mind that I'm newish to Python and very new to wxPython.

Sara Melson Tour Dates
Dearest Ones,
I'm putting the finishing touches on a new album, which I'm very excited about. It's the product of some very fruitful and symbiotic collaborations; these tracks are a bit of a departure for me, and they stretch me in new directions. The album was mixed and mastered in Beachwood Canyon by the extraordinary Rick Parker (Lord Huron, The Ravonettes, BRMC), who produced two of the songs. I also got a chance to record up in beautiful Ojai, California, in a peaceful orange grove, with the mega-talented Oliver Newell (He's My Brother, She's My Sister), who has converted a vintage airstream trailer into a magical music studio. So if you happen to detect the sound of crickets in the background, you'll know why. It was a very inspiring and memorable place to make music. Other wonderful collaborators include strings wiz Stevie Blacke (Beck, Rhianna, Colbie Caillat) and Joshua Merrill.
I can't wait to unveil this record to the world, and I want it to have the best shot that it can, to be heard and experienced. As an indie artist, I am raising funds to help ensure that it receives the attention it's due. If you feel inspired to help me make that a reality, then please visit my Indiegogo page to take a look at all the fun perks and rewards I've created, to thank you for your support. Or you can donate via the secure link here on my website. I am forever grateful!!
I also have some Los Angeles shows coming up at some really lovely, intimate venues. I hope to see you there.
Thank you so much, and stay tuned. Much love,
~ Sara

Says filmmaker Toshiaki Toyoda about his movie, Monsters Club:
This is the story about a young man living in a cabin in remote place outside of urban culture and away from all things. Living by himself in the winter covered mountains, we see the emotional survival of the person depicted. I was really thinking about the Unibomber in America. The Unabomber was quite strict, he did not bomb everywhere but was rather making a statement and was thinking about how to make things a little bit different, asking maybe, the question of the people and a question to the people living in a world of egoism. We've got the pyramid in our society. You have the top and then the bottom. I have been asking people: how are we going to survive in this pyramid world?! [ source ]
After we posted the positive reviews on Hard Romanticker, it's inevitable that we mention Monsters Club, since it stars Eita Nagayama, another top Japanese actor who figured prominently in our Top 30 Hottest Japanese Actors.
The reviews are mainly positive, and Twitch posted this:
Monsters Club follows Ryoichi (Eita), a young, cultured man who retreated into a life in the wilderness. A little hunting cabin hidden in a snow-covered mountain becomes Ryoichi's humble shelter from the world. From his cabin, Ryoichi sends bombs and angry letters to CEOs of various corporations as an attempt to repel the advancing modern life. The film is quite a feat, especially considering how the movie was achieved in such a short time period and such an improvisational manner. Slow, steady shots help emphasize a haunting, isolated feeling as we witness Ryoichi unraveling in front of our eyes. The sparse, beautiful landscape of the film grows increasingly unnerving as a mysterious monster enters Ryoichi's periphery. [ source ]
Other reviewers also gave positive reviews to the movie, Flixist noted:
There's something meditative and poetic to the imagery of Monsters Club. Writer/director Toshiaki Toyoda supposedly shot the entire film in two weeks without a script, which I find rather fascinating. For all of its lingering and smoldering and silences, there's a certain tightness to Monsters Club. The dialogue and visuals seem well considered and graceful rather than slapdash, the latter often a sign of films done on the fly. This might have to do with its extremely short run time of 71 minutes. It feels packed, and becomes somewhat stunning once ghosts from Ryoichi's past come to visit. The most striking may be the ghost that looks like a meringue in clown make-up. [ source ]
And finally from 2012moviesUK:
Monsters Club is a beautiful film. Everything about it, from the sparse guitar driven score, the patient cinematography to the emotional performance is awe inspiring – and the film rightly deserves to be judged upon its own merits. Yet also, from the methodology and approach represented in the telling of this tale, I feel that Japanese cinema now has its first glimpse of a chance to change the way in which seemingly unrelated genres might continue. As much as I am looking forward to Tsutomu Hanabusa's Sadako 3D, I don't think it can be counted on to revitalise cinema, genre or otherwise.
Within Monsters Club, within the simple story of a man exploring who he is in both the context of capitalist society and the context of his family, there is a chance to move forward. [ read more ]

1.75" Aluminum Stylus for all iPad®, iPhone®, iPod®, Tablets, and SmartPhones - Black Bling
Do you find it difficult to control your touch screen phone or tablet because your fingers are too big? Are you tired of wiping finger marks and smudges off your screen? Or do you just want more precise control of your touch screen device? If so, then this Aluminum Stylus from Monoprice is exactly what you've been looking for!
This mini stylus measures 1 3/4" in length, providing a compact writing tool. It features a soft, slick, rubber tip, which is designed to provide the electrical conductivity necessary to activate a capacitive touch screen in the same way as that of a human finger. The rubber tip is slick, so that it will glide smoothly across the screen, providing precise control of icons and apps, without leaving finger marks or smudges.
The stylus comes with a small loop at the end with an attached cord loop. At the end of the cord loop is a plastic plug, which is designed to fit into the headphone jack of your mobile device, allowing you to keep the sylus attached to your phone. Alternatively, the loop can be slipped onto a keyring or onto a necklace.
This stylus is black with stylish silver and faux diamond "bling". It is also available in red with the "bling", as PID 8844. Standard versions without the "bling" are available in black as PID 8840 and in silver as PID 8841.
