Merck Serono has spun out a bioinformatics firm, Quartz Bio, to provide biomarker data management and exploratory biomarker analysis services to the pharma industry. The new firm is the second created through Merck Serono's Entrepreneur Partnership Program (EPP), which was launched in April.
The EPP initiative is part of the firm's €30 million (approximately $37.7 million) drive to support the establishment of spin-out and start-up firms based on technologies and compounds developed in-house. Merck Serono says spinning out promising IP will reduce the burden on its existing employees, given the recent closure of its Geneva headquarters as part of a major restructuring program. The EPP has already led to creation of Parkinson's disease therapeutics firm Prexton Therapeutics at the end of July.
Quartz Bio will be hosted at the Blue Box offices of FONGIT, a start-up accelerate in Geneva, which is supported by the local authorities. Merck Serono says it will itself use the services provided by Quartz Bio, and expects to put around €2 million (around $2.5 million)-worth of work the firm's way over the next 2–3 years.
"An increasing number of pharmaceutical companies are integrating a stratified medicine approach in their drug development process in order to predict how patients will respond to a specific therapy," comments founder and CEO Jérôme Wojcik, former director of bioinformatics at Merck Serono. "Biomarker analyses are at the heart of stratified medicine, and we believe that Quartz Bio's flexible and highly specialized services will bring added value to pharmaceutical companies for the development of new drug."

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

Consumer Confidence Rose This Month
Consumers felt a bit better in November — a good sign for the economy if it means demand for goods and services will pick up as well.
According to the private Conference Board, its widely watched consumer confidence index rose to 54.1 this month from 49.9 in October. That puts the reading "at its highest level in five months, a welcome sign as we enter the holiday season," Conference Board Consumer Research Center Director Lynn Franco said in a statement.
As the Associated Press says, while the reading may be welcome, it isn't a sign of boom times: "Economists watch confidence closely because consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity and is critical to a strong rebound. It takes a reading of 90 to indicate a healthy economy."
Our friends at Planet Money figure out the economic news over here.

I made this recipe with left over lobster meat. It was good but needed more salt. I also think I would add more basil. I think I liked it more than my husband, who was silent. Not usually a good sign.
Very bland, not very creamy.

BORGER - First of all, don't call him "Mr. Boyer."
"I don't know of any Mr. Boyer around here," Leroy Boyer of Borger, 86, said with a grin.
Put an electric guitar in his lap and Boyer wraps his big meathooks around it and his fingers fly up and down the board. "Twinkle Star," "My Window Faces South," Merle Travis-style, Eldon Shamblin-style voicings, the Borger picker can pretty well play what he gets good and ready to pick on out.
"I learned to play when I was 4 years old. It was a standard guitar of my dad's at home, and I was cryin' because I wanted to play it," said Boyer, who was born and raised in Kanopolis, Kan. "My fingers were too small, so I used a table knife to play it like a steel guitar. After a while, my hands got big enough to clamp on a G chord."
Boyer's father, Fred, started Leroy, one of nine children, on the road to music.
"After I got a little older I'd go with my dad, and I saw a lot of old fiddle players," he said. "We'd go play at some old farmhouse. They'd just take up the rug and dance."
Fiddlers were the order of the day in the 1920s, he said.
"There weren't many guitar players back then," Boyer said.
How much did a gig at a farmhouse pay?
"You'd get maybe a sandwich, I imagine," Boyer said.
Who were his early musical heroes and influences?
"Well, it was mostly just the local people. We didn't have a radio," he said. "My dad never drove a car in his life."
Boyer as a young man worked for the Independent Salt Co., more than 900 feet below the surface in a salt mine. He started out driving mules pulling carts of salt on rails.
"The mules stayed down there," he said. "They had it better down there than the ones on top."
He later worked at powdering, which was setting dynamite charges after drillers and undercutters prepared a new area for blasting.
During World War II, he worked in Wilmington, Calif., in a shipyard. He moved to Denver after the war, where he worked at a number of jobs. He then went for Dallas for a short time before moving to Borger in 1952. In 1953, he went to work for Phillips Petroleum Co., where he stayed for 29 years until his retirement.
Through the years, he has worked with about 500 people by his own estimate. In Denver, he worked on a radio broadcast from Rita's Crossroads, a club he played in for a number of years.
He even played a show with the great Bob Wills in Denver.
"I don't tell too many people I played a show with Bob Wills," he said. "He was very friendly. He'd get up there and holler 'ahhh-haa,' and it would sure get the band stirred up. He was a showman."
Through the years, he's also had the occasion to play with country greats Red Foley, Johnny Gimble and Little Jimmie Dickens.
However, Boyer would rather talk about the less well-known musicians he's played with through the years, including Darrouzett's Frankie McWhorter, Dwight Cook of Amarillo, Jimmy Young of Amarillo, Clint Cozart of Wichita Falls, Shorty Thompson of Denver and Billy Foust of Borger.
These days, he's been slowed by recent knee surgery, but he was active playing with his son Rick "Doc" Boyer in their Western Swing band, Leroy and Doc Boyer and the Smoky Valley Boys.
"I hate to brag, but Doc is excellent on that piano," Boyer said. "He's a hell of a drummer, and he can play the bass, too."
And Boyer plans to keep on playing when he's feeling better.
Boyer likes almost all kinds of music.
"I don't like that hard rock 'n' roll," he said. "Rap? You can scratch that out twice."
What keeps him picking at 86?
"I just love music," Boyer said, peeling off a four-finger rake on the guitar.

Out of all the Dr. Bronner's soaps I've tried, this one is my favorite. This feels so great; I love the tingle imparted by the peppermint. Also, it smells fantastic, richly minty. Turns a bath into a transcendental experience (OK "transcendental" may be going overboard but you get the idea). My only complaint is that I feel like this (and all Dr. Bronner's liquid soaps) leave a slight soap residue on my skin. I use this everywhere, including my face, and just finish off with something gentle that will remove the residue. Strange, I know, but worth it for the minty experience. My husband is the one who got me started on this, but he says the mint tingle makes him feel cold during the winter. Maybe not for cold-sensitive folks? continued >>

Montgomery's Inn

|Thomas Montgomery
Montgomery's Inn is a historic home and inn in the Islington neighbourhood of Etobicoke in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Built in 1832 in a Georgian style with later additions, the inn has been restored to an 1847 period, and operates as a museum of the City of Toronto. It is named for innkeeper Captain Thomas Montgomery (1790-1877). Once in danger of demolition, it is a cherished remnant of colonial times in Upper Canada. Though most of its artefacts are not original to the building, they are period pieces, and a few belonged to the Montgomery family.
Montgomery's Inn operated as Etobicoke's civic museum before the City of Etobicoke was absorbed into the City of Toronto in 1998. Yet it maintains a tradition of showcasing Etobicoke neighborhood history through historical interpretive displays in the modern sections of the building.
The inn ceased operations in 1856 and continued as a private house on a 400 acre farm, where it was rented to tenant farmers by the Montgomery family until 1946. It was sold to a local Presbyterian church, a developer, the Etobicoke Historical Society, and finally the Etobicoke Historical Board.[1] Transferred in 2000 to the City of Toronto, it is now a city owned museum.

Research Institution:
AbstractMarine Expeditionary Units (MEUs) are often first responders, addressing crises such as natural disasters and regional instability. To adequately respond, they must quickly and accurately analyze large amounts of raw information. Fortunately, through crowdsourcing, there are vast, knowledgeable, and unexploited resources in local and military populations that can address information requirements (IR) and analysis needs. However, Marines need an effective system to use these distributed human processing resources. MapReduce addresses a similar distributed parallel computational processing problem, but not the inherent diversity of human resources. Inspired by MapReduce, we propose to design and demonstrate a system for Crowdsourcing with Intelligent Supervision to address IRs in Crisis Situations (CRISIS). CRISIS provides a crowdsourcing algorithm to employ diversely skilled crowds to address problems for MEUs, focusing on four key components: (1) an evolvable ontology of crowd capabilities to drive human-centered problem partitioning; (2) probabilistic models of crowd skills and preferences to not only identify crowd resources, but understand their capabilities; (3) a market-based optimization system to perform load management and mapping while addressing a scarcity of properly skilled resources to address tasks; and (4) a combination of semantic reasoning and provenance modeling to reduce solutions, identifying consistencies and inconsistencies in the process.

I've just installed wp-o-matic plugin on my blog. It should extract news from news feeds and re-publish them - as the flyier says :)
Anyway, in this morning they were 20000 posts already;the cronjob runs every 2 hours. Now I've opened the site ( http://stiri.atat.ro/ BTW) and I don't see any posts. They're all gone.
In the admin's panel it says the same, 0 posts, however the wp-o-matic campains are displaying the number of posts published.
Very interesting is also another thing: in phpmyadmin I can see the wp_posts table is 'in use'; from almost half hour now.
I'd really like to know if this is a stable plugin since is the second time since it happens. The first time I didn't think too much and just reinstalled everything, in a new database, but now I'm wondering...
I do have a lot of feeds (I think, I haven't found yet anything about the plugin's limits, if any) ... a little more over 250.
So, does anyone knows what hapens and, very important, how can it be fixed? I'd like to use this wp-o-matic plugin since is free, but if it doesn't work (for me) I'd rather pay the alternative - autoblogger I think is the name.
Is very late now and I'll go to sleep; I hope I'll read some sollutions tomorrow when I wake up or, who know, maybe the wp_posts table will finish whatever it's doing and the site will have posts, again.
Thank you!

Sweet Pea Chef
Blame it on the teething, yeah yeah
Once my baby hit the ripe old age of three months, the mysterious and unpredictable malady of teething was all of a sudden a convenient yet viable diagnosis for any abnormal and/or unpleasant behavior. Excessive drooling, refusal to eat, runny nose, first-thing-in-the-morning fussiness, mid-day fussiness, evening fussiness, middle-of-the night fussiness … you get the idea.
So for three months now, we've been using this handy, catch-all excuse to visitors or family members whenever she seems the slightest bit undesirable to hang out with. "Oh, she must be teething," we'll say as she whines and squirms in Grandpa's arms. "Poor thing."
See, the good thing about teething is also the worst thing about teething – anything and everything could be a symptom of teeth on the way, and still those little buggers may not show their pearly little faces for weeks or even months to come. And, the age range for teething is so wide and ongoing (starting at 3-7 months and then continuing until age 2!), you never know when to expect it. Great as an excuse for a generally fussy baby; not so great for parents who are wondering what the heck is wrong with their generally fussy baby.
So when baby screams her head off in the middle of the night, and you are dying to reach for that infant Tylenol to finally end it all, you either feel like a) hero-mom bringing your little one much needed relief, or b) guilty mom who is drugging her baby just to get some sleep. This kid better pop a tooth soon, or she's going to make quite a big liar out of me.

Fedora Core 6 Test Drive
See what's new in Fedora Core 6 – the latest release of the Red Hat-based Fedora project.
The latest release of Red Hat's Fedora Core community distribution appeared at the end of October. Fedora Core 6 provides optical improvements, and some interesting developments inside, like optimization of dynamic libraries and enhanced integration of the Xen virtualization solution. You don't need to finish installation to find some of Fedora's new features: the Anaconda installer, which has been around since the early days of Red Hat, has a few changes. Anaconda started using the Yum API in Fedora Core 5, but now users can integrate third-party repositories at the install stage. This feature is useful for professional administrators, as it lets you integrate customized repositories. End users will be interested in other features of the new Fedora, such as support for Intel Macs.

Hello, what do you think ist at moment the best airline?
SouthWest hasn't had the lowest average fare since 2010 when they changed their strategy. The prevailing concept that they have low fares is residual marketing fluff.
There is no "best" airline. There *are* worse airlines though. It does indeed depend on where you are flying. It also depends on the class of ticket. I don't fly LH or EK long distance in coach. SQ does moderately well on the big aircraft over long distances, but there are many that do equal or better.
Oops... tricked by a necropost.
Do not worry. Even with a necropost, others might learn from your response.
I agree. Once, SWA was more, or less, typified as a LCC. That did change, but they have been our second-tier airline for some US routes. They have also dropped in on-time arrivals, but provide a service, at least to us. We (mostly my wife) will fly them in Business Select, and usually gets a good flight, with some recent delays. As she is going, or coming home, and no connections are involved, a safe flight is all that WE ask.
Long Haul from New Zealand i like Malaysia ( for price and service) , Singapore for comfort and service) both Business Class. In Europe I have been happy with Easyjet for shorthaul flights as they have been cheap and cheerful!
Geo and Bill, interesting points that are worse a new thread... Starting one now...
I am always amazed when I am flying with Qatar Airways. Impressive but expensive.
What do you mean by the best airline? The question is too general to respond. You should specify where you are flying to and your criteria: price, service quality.....?
VIETNAMTRAVELGUIDES: The OP has not returned to TripAdvisor or this post, in over a year. This was originally posted in March of 2013.
I had fly with klm, lan airlines, sky arlines, and aerolineas argentinas, and I think the best of them is lan, mostly considerin the turist cabin, and busines (in that case I only fly with klm and lan in busines).
Bad question with bad answers
I particularly liked British Airways and Lufthansa in terms of punctuality and overall services.

we really enjoyed the stay - the 2 pools were v nice (although the bigger one was closed for cleaning the first 2 days).
the location is good in the "close" (to medina) end of Palmerie. (taxi from medina to the hotel costs 60-80 dirham, 100 dirham from the hotel to medina) - and it takes 20-30 mins depending on the traffic. It was well worth to go into medina for dinner (as food is quite expensive and not very interesting / special in the hotel).
good breakfast buffet with many (not only sweet) choices - which isnt very common there as i understand - in our other hotel in marrakech medina the breakfast was sweet (only).
the room was nice, well appointed, lots of storage space. exit to a small private garden (4x4m) with seats. they had 2 turn down services each day, everything was very clean and nicely arranged - really good effort by the housekeeping staff.
they also had beautifully kept gardens - with palm trees, olive trees and flowers.
all in all, a very good, relaxing experience

2008 BMW 1 Series 135i 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)
This car is a true joy to drive but, the need for Z rated tires and the cost makes this car impractical to be your only vehicle. This vehicle has needed new front tires every two years (25000 miles) and needed rear tires about every year (12000 miles). I finally had enough of the tires wearing out and I choose another vehicle. If you want a fun car, this is it, but beware you will be spending between $375 for Hankooks or $1000 for Run Flats every year. Then do not forget about the Premium Unleaded fuel requirement.
Like BMW is going to listen, put a spare tire on the car!!!!!
When it was time to sell my beloved '98 M3 convertible I looked at the 2012 3s. Too big and bloated and cluttered with expensive, distracting technology. The 1 series is the spiritual successor to the older 3. Slightly smaller back seat and trunk, but closer in size and with a clean, driving-focused dashboard. We picked one up used with low miles and original warranty still remaining-- a good thing because we have had to use it a lot!We test drove a 128 but felt it was underpowered. The 135 was obviously more expensive but we fell in love the first time we pressed the pedal to the carpet. This car is stupid fast. In a dark color and especially with the top down it looks great.
With the 3.0T engine this car is stupid fast and has handling to match. Interior design is classic simple and driver-focused. Looks great with the top down. Heated sport seats are great. iPod integration works well.
The only significant knock against this car is its reliability. We bought ours 3 years used with 30k miles and have had it in the shop for repairs 3 times in the first 6 months. BMW has a great 4/50k warranty-- and this is why it's needed!
I've had my 135I convertible since 6/2008.It drives great and I love the car but I've had to take it back to the dealership SIX times because the convertible top continues to leak.Today makes the second time I've filed the Lemon Law on the car.And, to make matters worse, the dealership has a totally rude attitude about trying to fix the car.
Handling and speed
Fix the convertible top.
2008 BMW 1 Series 135i 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)
I've been driving the car for more than 22,000 miles now and I think I can have some comments: 1. I had the usual problems: The HPFP, the bluetooth firmware upgrade, all the tails lights failing and the safety recall for the seat belts. 2. The run flats awful, replaced them with Michellin A/S now and rides much better 3. Gas mileages is not great. The car has been problem free for the last 5,000 miles and I personally think there is NO perfect car, I was lucky that BMW Charlottesville has been ver professional and helped me all the time when I faced problems. However, if you love cars, this is the one! Test drive one and see for yourself.
The N54 engine is a masterpiece, once they have replaced the fuel pump. That Manual trans is excellent and will give you a lot of joy. Problems are resolved now for the new models and I hope you get one. In my case I had to get my 135 on year One of the One.
1. Drop the run flats 2. The BMW free maintenance program is worthless if you want to keep the car x the long term. Check other sites for realistic recommendations.
My wife always wanted a BMW Convertible. We assumed the lease on this one from the original owner. We absolutely love the performance of this car, but have been a little disappointed with the quality. The tail-light assemblies have been replaced 3 times, the third brake light lens just shattered while driving down the road. Those were replaced under warranty, but it is disappointing considering.
That engine rocks! It does make up for those little quality issues, because this is BY FAR the most fun I've had driving a car!

Last Sunday a friend and I went on a garden tour in Natick, MA. When people think of Natick, they often picture the Natick Mall, or the Hopper-esque downtown.
(The above is a watercolor I painted of a Natick street in 1995.)
The town is more diverse than that, as we discovered on our tour of four beautiful and diverse gardens. Before I write about them individually, I need to talk about the special qualities of gardens that are on tours. First, they usually are quite large. My quarter acre lot would most likely not be on a tour. Second, each garden reflects the unique vision of the owner; some are very formal, some use lots of specimen plants. You therefore need to look at these sites thoughtfully; their ideas may not work in your space.
The first garden we toured was quite large and had many specimen plants, which were used well. You have to be careful with exotic types - use too many in one area and you lose the impact of a single plant.
This garden, as well as the other three, had paths and water features. Again, not appropriate features for all gardens.
What I liked about this area was the color combination of yellow and purple. These colors balance each other because they are complements. I also liked hearing the frogs croak. Gardens can always use frogs as they catch lots of insects.
The second garden had, for me, the ultimate luxury - sculpture. The artist Karin Stanley (KarinStanley.com), lent several pieces to the garden for the tour.
This garden had some lovely paths that effectively transitioned from a sunny, formal area to a shady, wilder area.
The third garden was just outside of Natick Center. This one was the most formal of the four and was distinguished by the owners' decision to design outdoor "rooms". They achieved a relaxed and liveable yet formal landscape - quite an accomplishment!
The background space was built first, and is often used for pre-dinner cocktails. The foreground space is used for dining. I don't think that I would ever feel the need to go to a bed and breakfast if I lived here.
The fourth garden was tucked away in a section of Natick that I did not know existed. The owner has created a garden on the smallest of the four properties. This one has been inspired by Japanese gardens and design concepts, notably Notan, the balance of light and dark (I wrote about Notan in a 2013 post.)
The above picture shows a "riverbed" made of stones. I saw a similar, though larger, one, at the Cleveland Botanical Garden's Japanese garden.
More sculpture was to be found; I imagine that the owner created this one:
Going on a garden tour is a delightful way to spend an afternoon. You get to talk to other people who are just as passionate as you are about plants and design, and who usually add useful insights. I recommend that you go on one if you get the chance.

"Balongan, Cirebon and Indramayu" Cirebon by DSwede
Cirebon Travel Guide: 44 reviews and 86 photos
I don't know why people are so amazed to see white faces, but its like I'm a celebrity. All the people want to say hello, many have even come over to my side, just to have their pictures taken with me before running off like giddy little school girls. It even happens in the larger cities of Jakarta and Surabaya, but is enough to stop conversations and people walking in smaller towns. This last weekend for example, some old man, said hello, and without speaking another word of English, had me stop, placed what I assume to be his granddaughter next to me and took a photo of both of us, smiled and walked away. Its not the first time or first place for this type of thing to happen, but it is a lot more frequent here.
By coincidence a friend of mine, Steve, was assigned to the same customer during my stay. Since he was still here, but staying in nearby Indramayu, he got a room for the night in Cirebon. We wondered aimlessly and sweated profusely for the weekend. As previously mentioned, Cirebon is a quiet, boring town. As we wondered the poor streets and absorbed the daily routine, we decided to spend $2/ea and made custom ball caps that said "Hello Mister". Quite apropos, since even the most English challenged Indonesian in Cirebon will wave and scream Hello Mister from the opposite side of the street. After walking through slums, dirty streets, past rows of street barbers with their stools surrounded by months worth of clippings, countless little kiosks and make-shift store fronts, we decided we needed to cool down by the pool. Saturday and Sunday were the same, only with a few drinks at a local watering hole to separate them.
Later in the week, Steve handed me his Indonesian Lonely Planet guide. The first two sentences on Cirebon pretty much sum it up quite well. "Well off the tourist trail, on the sunburnt north coast... . Hot and isolated, this pleasant town rarely features on travelers' itineraries, with most visitors experiencing it as little more than a sweltering stop on the long train ride between Surabaya and Jakarta". And as if they editor had read our minds, our caps became all that much more appropriate "with few travelers making it to Cirebon, you will doubtless be a novelty. Expect your fair share of 'hello misters'."
During my stay in Cirebon, I used this as a starting point to explore some of Central Java, like Magelang, Prambanan and Yogjakarta).
Visit my Java Island page for more general comments.
(for more pictures, feel free to visit my Indonesia Gallery. If you enjoy the pictures, please leave a comment.)
- Pros:The people do not know tourists, so you will be treated as one of them for the most part.
- Cons:If you don't speak the language, entertainment will be sparce.
- In a nutshell:A hot and dry coast line, mostly for fisherman.
