So far on the competition front it looks as if Kynan Forney will get first chance to replace Mike Goff at right guard, after Goff wasn't retained and landed with the Chiefs. Although the Chargers are high on Forney -- they signed him to a two-year contract during the offseason -- he didn't take a snap last season.
Forney came over from the Falcons as a free agent, but the Chargers didn't want to tinker anymore with an offensive line which was already in flux because of injuries. Goff being among the most durable Chargers, he never gave Forney a sniff at starting.
But the team is also intrigued by Louis Vasquez, a third-round pick out of Texas Tech. The Chargers like what they've seen so far, but they are also aware that Vasquez has to get up to speed on NFL run-blocking. At Texas Tech, Vasquez was in an offense which basically threw on first, second and third downs. So Vasquez's chances will center on how fast he can transfer his talents from a spread offense to one which throws the ball, but also leans on its running game.
SS Clinton Hart
Donald Miralle/Getty
Clinton Hart, the opening day starter at strong safety last season, is bent on reclaiming his spot.
Hart's season was derailed by a broken hand early in the season and a neck injury late in the season. Maybe his physical shortcomings came into play as he was often out of position and missed numerous tackles. That was among the reasons the Chargers went with Steve Gregory down the stretch, with Hart's contributions coming in spots.
But there is also a rookie chomping at the bit at this position. The Chargers are giving Kevin Ellison a real look and they are intrigued by the former Southern Cal standout. Ellison's deal is staying on the field as his career at USC was compromised by injuries.
But if healthy -- and able to pick up the Chargers' defense at a decent pace -- don't be surprised if Ellison, a sixth-round selection, is in the mix.
The inside linebacker on passing downs will likely come down to a battle between Matt Wilhelm and Kevin Burnett, who signed as a free agent from Dallas. Wilhelm was the scapegoat of what ailed the Chargers on underneath routes, which is surprising because that was considered his strength.
Burnett's forte is dropping back into coverage and he is eager to show he is more than a special-team player.
The Chargers must also sort out which outside linebackers are on the field on passing downs.
Shaun Phillips figures to be opposite a mended Shawne Merriman, although Merriman has yet to be given full clearance to return after his knee operation. The Chargers also spent their top pick on Larry English, a pass-rushing specialist from Northern Illinois.
Defensive coordinator Ron Rivera has hinted that all three could be on the field at the same time in their 3-4 alignment.
QB Philip Rivers
Jeff Gross/Getty
--Would there be a better season for the Chargers to win their first Super Bowl?
The Chargers kicked off their 50th anniversary season recently with some off the team's all-time greats assembling, hoping this is the year the team hoists the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Among the luminaries in attendance were Lance Alworth, Doug Wilkerson, Charlie Joiner, Darren Bennett, Philip Rivers and a collection of team execs, led by club president Dean Spanos.
Rivers said San Diego, while being the nation's seventh-largest city, has a small-town atmosphere to it. And that is no more evident than on game days, when it seems like everyone is tuned in -- and turned on -- by the Chargers. But Chargers fans also show their allegiance in the offseason.
"Growing up in a small town in Alabama where football is pretty much it, it kind of has that same feel here in San Diego," Rivers said. "When you're driving down Interstate 15 in March and see all the Chargers flags and stickers, it shows you how excited this city is."
Maybe the Chargers fans are so keen on their team because of its success of late -- especially at Qualcomm Stadium. Consider that in Rivers' three years as a starter, the Chargers are 20-4 in what's pegged as America's Finest City.
"You wonder why we're so good at home, the fans have a great deal to do with that," Rivers said. "We take a great deal of pride in winning when we play at home and our fans help us a lot with the environment they create."
But those fans have been incredibly forgiving. The Chargers won the 1963 AFL title but have no other league championships; they advanced to the Super Bowl to cap the 1994 season but were blown out by the 49ers.
Wilkerson, a member of the Chargers Hall of Fame and a three-time Pro Bowler in his 14 seasons, knows how the fans feel. The Chargers were dead last in the AFC West in four of his first five seasons with the club, which stretched from 1971-75. Then Don Coryell came aboard -- as did improved personnel -- and Air Coryell and a long string of success followed.
"I look back and appreciate how patient the fans were," Wilkerson said. "We had some great coaches but the talent wasn't there. The fans hung with us. They were intertwined in everything that we did. The availability of the players to the community is special. Everywhere you went, everybody loved the players and we became immediately attracted to not only the city but the people."
"We had good football players, guys that loved playing the game," Wilkerson said. "They enjoyed being in the city of San Diego. In 1979, Charger Power was born. Chargers fans created that. They made it our moniker. They created a song for it. As fast as we could score, they enjoyed it more, and we set a lot of offensive records."
The Chargers are on record that they are tired of falling short. They advanced to the AFC Championship game two seasons ago but fell to the Patriots. They got to the divisional round game last season, before bowing to the Steelers.
This year? It's a golden one, and a golden opportunity to do something no other Chargers team has done: win a Super Bowl.
--ILB Stephen Cooper said the offseason sessions have been productive, but a joy as well.
"We're getting a lot of good work done but we're having a lot of fun too," he said. "We've got a good group of guys who love working together, whether it's June or August or December."
--Rodney Harrison retired after an impressive stint with the Patriots to move into the broadcasting booth, but he first made his mark with the Chargers. He played in San Diego for from 1994-02 and his 26 interceptions rank third in Chargers history. Harrison will likely be among those honored during the team's 50th anniversary.
--The Chargers will release the 20 greatest moments in team history throughout the year, with the greatest moment being revealed during the Jan. 3 regular-season finale against the Washington Redskins. "That should be a fun and interesting process," Chargers president Dean Spanos said. "There are decades to deal with, and everyone will have a different opinion on who belongs on that team. It should spark some conversation and get people talking about the past."
--The Chargers return to practice next Tuesday and will work Wednesday and Thursday, too. After next Thursday's work, most of the veterans' work is done. Rookies and select veterans will complete the pre-training camp work with four practices from June 15-18.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "That's why you always see us score a lot of points, you see us move the ball on everybody and have this explosive offense -- that's all Norv. His mind is always working.

During the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944, in the action off Samar, a series of events had allowed a powerful Japanese force to penetrate American defenses, and it was threatening both the landing forces on Leyte and several task groups of U.S. escort carriers supporting the amphibious assault on the eastern side of the Philippines. In one of the greatest displays of courage in naval history, a number of U.S. destroyers and destroyer escorts charged the enemy's battleships, cruisers, and destroyers. U.S. forces pressed the attack so close that, at one point, the Japanese could not depress their guns low enough to fire on their diminutive attackers. The crews of these intrepid U.S. Navy ships managed to cause enough confusion that they bought valuable time for the fleeing carriers they had been tasked to protect.

Russia - Eduard Shevardnadze, Architect of Unification | European Journal
Germany could not have been reunited without the assent of the Soviet Union. The Germans had a staunch ally in the Soviet Union's then-Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze.Mikhail Gorbachev's Perestroika and Glasnost policies contributed to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The fact that Germany was reunited less than a year later is due in large part to Shevardnadze. He convinced Gorbachev that German unity was urgent. The path to it, however, was lined with problems. In particular, it was hard for the Soviets to accept that unified Germany would belong to NATO.

Obesity measurements
Obesity among children from lower earning families rose compared with their well-off counterparts, according to a study that suggests the U.S. weight epidemic may be another sign of a growing divide between rich and poor.
Using data from two national surveys of children ages 12 to 17 years old, researchers from Harvard University and Insead analyzed parents' level of education as shorthand for socioeconomic status, a measure of education, income and occupation. The study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science found that children from less educated families exercised less and didn't cut their calories as much.
Though the prevalence of childhood obesity has leveled off since a decade ago, and children overall are consuming fewer calories and are more physically active, those gains aren't evenly distributed. Obesity among children whose parents are college-educated has dropped, while obesity among those in less-educated families continues to increase, the study said.
"We're finally beating obesity on the aggregate level, but when you look at the trends, it's very different for rich kids and poor kids," said Kaisa Snellman, one of the study's authors and a sociologist at Insead, an international business school. Lower education is usually linked to less income.

Dealing with change
Q: My job has recently changed to require me to telecommute much of the time. I'm used to being part of a large, cohesive team, and am struggling with feelings of isolation. It's hard to stay energized.
A: Build and maintain connections, even though the form may have changed.
Change can be difficult, especially if it is unsought. This change comes with some losses for you at an emotional level. Acknowledge this so that unexpressed feelings don't sabotage you, taking some time to breathe through the feelings, and get ready to think about possibilities.
Consider factors in your previous arrangement that worked. For example, being in an office provides day-to-day structure, as well as easy access to social engagement. Think about the parts of being in the office that you won't miss so much.

text: Florida Law Requires Stadiums to Shelter Homeless On Off Nights; Not A Single One Has CompliedSean Newell1/21/12 4:52pmFiled to: StadiumsFloridaMiami DolphinsMiami HeatMiami MarlinsTampa Bay RaysJacksonville JaguarsNewstweet38EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink As is the case in most cities with professional franchises, the buildings that host Florida's professional sports teams have been built with the assistance of taxpayer contributions. It's played off as a symbiotic relationship (new stadium means new jobs, more revenue coming in, etc.) but most of the time feels parasitic. Well, destitute Floridians know a thing or two about that. Advertisement Under a Florida law, franchises that have received public benefits from the state are required to open their stadium doors for the homeless on non-event nights. It should shock absolutely no one to learn that not a single franchise has ever done so over the last 20 years.State law now requires that any professional sports facility built with state money must be used as a homeless shelter except when the facility is being used for a specific event or activity.But none of the 17 football, baseball, basketball and hockey arenas that relied on state money for construction have ever been used to house the homeless, according to Sen. Mike Bennett, who's filed a bill that could cost counties and professional sports franchises big-time.In total, Florida taxpayers have contributed over $270 million to the various professional franchises that play in the state. Dolphin Stadium (now Sun Life Stadium) has been the biggest beneficiary of the taxpayer subsidy, having received approximately $37 million in funding. Lest the Dolphins take all the heat, the Marlins, who prior to this year have been co-tenants with the Dolphins since their inception in 1993, are also on the list. All the professional teams, in fact, are well-represented with over $30 million in benefits received, except the Miami Heat. They only received $27 million.Florida state Senator Mike Bennett has decried the failure to comply with the law as "yet another example of how taxpayers are supplementing the super rich owners of sports franchises while the taxpayers of Florida are receiving very little in return." Not only are they "super rich" as far you know, Mr. Senator, they are most likely far more wealthy than they have led you to believe. Sen. Bennett's bill would require the teams and counties that have received benefits to either begin compliance, or refund the money. While the homeless in Florida shouldn't hold their breath waiting for their free shelter, on nights like tonight, they should at least consider themselves lucky for being homeless in Florida and not, say, New York.

Pond Life During the Winter
Hi, I am curious, what happens to pond life during the winter?
Most of the plants die (and come back in the spring) or you can take some of them inside for the winter. Of course if you have fish then the pond should be heated, and some of the water plants (like water lillies) might survive, although there are no guarantees.
It also greatly depends on where you live; some plants might be able to make it through a mild winter. If the fish are acclimated to the water, they might make it through without a heater, if the water temperature doesn't get too low.
we bring our fish and plants in for the winter. we put them in a fish tank.
depth matters
I have a 900,000 gallon pond about 25 feet deep - my koi live through the winter. I believe anything with 5 - 7 feet or more deep water, the earth heats it up enough for the fish to survive. no need to bring them in. I live in upstate NY and the winters are pretty bad.
Re: depth matters
Its funny, when I bought the land I was very dissapointed because nothing perc'd at all - it is almost 100% clay - so I had to spend the extra money for an above ground sewer. On the other hand I thought to myself, If its 100% clay, lets build a monster pond. I'll send some pics, It is still in rough shape - next summer I am going to complete it and the pics I have are from last year - I am going to get some waterfalls, and maybe a bridge going to to the island I built in the middle. When I go home for lunch I'll get the pics and put them up.
Re: pond
pond pics
These are pics from fall '05, The pond is sabout 1/2 way filled up when this picture was taken. I will take some pics next year and post them once everything is done.
let me try again
I figured it out this time, here they are:
wow, the potential that has. dont forget the diving board..lol look forward to next years pics. :)

Juventus director general Beppe Marotta has refused to comment on speculation that he is on the verge of selling Alessandro Matri to Napoli.
The available striker is understood to be discussing personal terms with the Azzurri following the summer arrivals of Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente in Turin.
"Matri? I can't talk about it, I wouldn't know what to say," the Turin club's transfer chief told Sky Sport Italia.
If Matri, valued at around €12m, is sold then he will strengthen a Napoli attack which already contains Gonzalo Higuain and Lorenzo Insigne.
"They are, without doubt, two great attackers," the former Sampdoria official noted. "But Napoli are an important side as a whole anyway."

Nafplio to Monemvasia in a day?
Hi! We're busy planning our trip to Greece and can do with some help here.
Will it be possible to drive from Nafplio via Mystras to Monemvasia in 1 day? Will 1 day be enough to spend some time at Mystras?
And also, can we (after 2 nights in Monemvasie) then drive from there through the Mani to Dimitsana in 1 day? Or shall we have to overnight in the Mani?
Please help as this will be our first visit to Greece.
Getting here
Can anyone tell me about this place? How to get here by Hydrafoil, does it operate in May? Can it be done in a day? Is it even worth visiting? I do have an interest in Byzantine History, Art and Architecture.
People wanted for taking part in an experiment at Monemvasia Castle
Hi all,
My name is Giannis. I have constructed (as part of my PhD degree) an intelligent mobile guide system for the Monemvasia Castle. I am looking for people to test it. If you happen to be in Monemvasia at the Middle of November and you want to participate please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. The tour with the system is completely free, all i need is your feedback on the system.
Also, can someone tell me where can i find the emails, telephone numbers of the HighSchool, and the mayor of Monemvasia?
Getting to Monemvasia from Kythira?
Is it possible to go directly from Kythira to Monemvasia by ferry? If so, can you give me a link to a web site with more information? If not, what is the easiest way to get there? Again, a web site would be helpful. Thanks.
Accomodation in Monemvasia
I'm planning to go to Monemvasia from August 12th for one week. We are 7 people (4 adults). Any suggestion for a cheap place to stay outside the village (even a few kilometres)? How is the see near Monemvasia? Thanks in advance to anyone who will help me. Ciao Rossella

Aimed at those with a particular interest in the full range of human history, from the first hunter-gatherers to the complex societies of the medieval and modern periods, this course allows students to study the past not just through texts and images but through material remains. In archaeology, you will take introductory modules before studying more scientific approaches. You will also have the opportunity to participate actively in field work. In history, you will begin with a general outline of European and world history. The rest of your history course will be made up of modules that cover 500 CE to the present.
Year one will lay the foundation for your study of archaeology with core modules in archaeological method and the prehistoric and historic archaeology of Britain up to the industrial revolution. In history, you will study the core module, Learning History, as well as two modules chosen from a menu of medieval, early modern, and post-1789 survey courses.
In year two you will study more advanced core themes in archaeological research and choose from a wide range of optional modules covering topics from the Roman Empire to underwater archaeology. The core element in history is provided by the compulsory module, the Contemporary World since 1945. The focus of this course is not just on global developments (political and economic, social and cultural, environmental and demographic), but also on exploring key historical debates concerning the immediate origins of the world in which we now live.
Alongside this module, you will be able to select from an extremely wide range of options covering topics from the Anglo-Saxons through to the late 20th century.
In year three you will have the option of writing a dissertation in either history or archaeology. In history, your dissertation would normally be linked to your Special Subject, a year-long, in-depth research-based module that all students must pick from a wide menu. You will also have the option of studying a selection of advanced optional modules in history or archaeology.
A levels: ABB, usually including an A in history at A level (general studies and critical thinking are not accepted for A level)

For this module you will have a combination of lecture and seminars, on average taking up about two hours per week across the year.
This module considers the archaeology of Britain in its European Context from the end of the Roman Empire to the high Middle Ages (from c. AD 400–1400). Key topics include: the formation of post-Roman societies; rural settlement; the emergence of central places and the development of towns; trade and exchange; and the introduction of Christianity and the role of the Church. The lectures and seminars, totalling around two hours per week, will explore integrated approaches to archaeological evidence incorporating landscapes, standing buildings, excavated sites and material culture.
This module provides you with a broad introduction to the current methods and practice of underwater Archaeology. The module focuses on themes such as lake dwellings, shipwrecks, submerged cities and sunken harbours. Case studies are used ranging in space from Scandinavia to Australia and in time from BC 1500 to the last century. Some of the issues tackled in this module include: Methods and techniques of underwater excavation, Problems of conservation and underwater material, Sunken harbours, cities and processes of submergences, and Lake dwelling and freshwater archaeology among others. For this module you will have three hours of lectures and seminars each week.
The module compares and contrasts key historical, legendary and fictional figures to examine the development of western medieval values and ideologies such as monasticism, chivalry and kingship. It explores how individuals shaped ideal types and how they themselves strove to match medieval archetypes. The binary oppositions between 'good' and 'bad' are explored through study of the 'bad king', and the creation of stereotypical villains such as 'the Jew'. You will usually spend three hours in lectures and seminars each week.
This module addresses evidence for crusader motivation and experience through sources relating to crusading activity in Europe and the Middle East from the late eleventh century to the mid-13th century. It seeks to understand how crusaders saw themselves and their enemies, their experiences and activity on crusade and as settlers, and how this horrifying yet enduringly fascinating process has been interpreted historically. You will usually spend three hours in lectures and seminars each week.
This module explores the nature of the Venetian Republic in the later 15th and 16th centuries. It examines the constitution, its administrative and judicial system, its imperial and military organisation, but will above all focus on the city and its inhabitants itself. The module will discuss the enormous cultural dynamism of the city (especially the visual arts from the Bellini to Tintoretto and Veronese), changing urban fabric, the role of ritual and ceremony, the position of the Church, and class and gender. You will usually spend three hours in lectures and seminars each week.
This module examines the social and cultural impact of economic change in three traditional industrial regions in the UK, Germany and the US in the 1970s and 1980s. It takes thematic approaches, exploring topics including: overlaps and differences between Contemporary History and the Social Sciences; change and decline in traditional industries such as coal, steel and shipbuilding; political responses to industrial change, with a particular focus on industrial conflict over closures, among others. You will usually spend three hours in lectures and seminars each week.
This module examines political, social and economic transformations in the Soviet Union from the October Revolution of 1917 to Gorbachev's attempted reforms and the collapse of the state in 1991. You will look at Russia both from the top down (state-building strategies; leadership and regime change; economic and social policy formulation and implementation) and from the bottom up (societal developments and the changing structures and practices of everyday life). You will usually spend three hours in lectures and seminars each week.
The Cold War was a conflict defined as much by intellectual and cultural struggle as by conventional military means, diplomacy, or realpolitik. Conceptions of race and identity were by no means immune from this, but heavily disputed and contested in the political environment of the Cold War. This module examines how the two superpowers dealt with issues of race and identity during the Cold War years, confronting questions and challenges from both within their own borders (and each other's) and in several theatres of superpower conflict – including the Middle East, East Asia and post-colonial Africa. You will usually spend three hours in lectures and seminars each week.
You will also attend a non-assessed weekly lecture module throughout the year called 'Doing History'. This builds on the first-year core module Learning History and aims to develop your awareness of the craft of the historian, developing essential skills to get the most out of your second-year options and enabling you to determine what sort of historian you are. It also operates as a bridge to your third and final year, permitting you to make informed decisions about your choice of Special Subject, third-year options, and dissertation.
Typical Year Three Modules
This module involves the in-depth study of a historical subject from which you will create a 10,000 word dissertation. You will have regular meetings with your supervisor and a weekly one hour lecture to guide you through this task. Students who do not undertake a dissertation in archaeology will undertake a 5-6,000 word independent project.
This module re-evaluates the history of masculinity in medieval Western culture. Most existing analysis of masculinity in Western culture deals with modern cultures. Yet, many of the key characteristics of this masculinity can plausibly be traced back to the Dark Ages. Students will study such issues as: how to use gender as an analytical tool with which to investigate early medieval evidence; gender ideology; codes of male honour; men's life cycles and fatherhood; relations between the sexes; rituals of violence; military and clerical ideals of masculinity. You will have three hours of seminars and lectures each week for this module.
Spending four hours per week in seminars and tutorials, you will be given a framework to understand the experience of Italians (and to a lesser degree their enemies, allies, and collaborators) during the military conflicts in the long decade 1935–45, as well as knowledge of the background factors that shaped these experiences. As source material you will have the chance to explore diplomatic correspondence, personal memoirs, newspapers and magazines, newsreels, as well as examining the representation of the war in literature and cinema.
This module surveys the dramatic cultural encounter in the nineteenth century as the world of the samurai was confronted by Western expansion and the Age of Steam. It explores the forces at work in Japan's rapid transformation from an 'ancien régime' under the rule of the Shogun into a 'modern' imperial power. Original documents examined in class draw on the growing range of Japanese primary sources available in English translation, together with the extensive works of Victorian diplomats, newspaper correspondents and other foreign residents in the treaty ports. You will have four hours of lectures and seminars each week for this module.
This module adopts a perspective of women's and gender history to explore the history of Germany in the period from the beginning of the National Socialist dictatorship up to the division of Germany into two post-war states in 1949. It will examine National Socialist discourses, policies and practices in relation to women and gender relations by drawing on records of public authorities and institutions concerned with educating and training the female population in line with Nazi precepts, mobilizing labour for the Nazi war economy, sustaining home front morale, and combating 'threats to the race'. You will have four hours of lectures and seminars each week for this module.
This module considers the archaeology of England from the end of the Roman occupation until the Norman conquest. You will focus on the question of the Romano-British survival and the impact of Romano-British culture on the Anglo-Saxon incomers, on the archaeology of the early state in England, on the development of town and rural settlement patterns, on the role of the church in society and on the Danish impact on England. For this module you will have a combination of lectures, seminars and field trips over the course of 11 weeks.
The aim of this module is to provide you with a broad knowledge of the archaeological evidence for the development of cities and urban life in the later medieval period 1000–1500, with a focus on English towns and cities in their wider Europe context. The module will explore the integration of varied sources of archaeological evidence including urban landscapes, buildings and material culture, and particular emphasis placed on interdisciplinary approaches to urban economic and social life. For this module you will have a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops and a fieldtrip over the period of 11 weeks.
In this module you will examine the archaeological evidence for the Roman period in Italy and the Mediterranean from c. 300 BC to c. AD 550. The major social, cultural and economic changes of the region in this period will be discussed as well as in the context of wider historical and archaeological approaches to the Mediterranean. You will have an hour of lectures and an hour-long seminar for this module.

Landmark to become Altria Theater
A key piece of financing for the planned $50 million renovation of Richmond's Landmark Theater fell into place Wednesday, when the city's Economic Development Authority signed a $10 million naming-rights deal for the historic venue with the Altria Group.
"Altria and Philip Morris USA have a long history in Richmond and a long history of supporting the arts," said Bill Phelps, a spokesman for the Richmond-based tobacco giant, which is the parent company of Philip Morris USA and other companies. Phelps added that the $10 million contribution to the theater's restoration, which will be paid in five yearly installments of $2 million starting this month, is "an important way to show pride in our hometown."

This is for all level of students, post-docs, and any new hires in the pharmaceutical industry, a practical how to find it, how to do it, and how to move in it. [The book is] a real source and guide, excellently referenced, and the appendices are generous. Written by one who knows all stages of the pharmaceutical industry. The writing is easy and friendly, with a wry wit – most enjoyable reading. And what a help to all in the industry. If I were a FIPCO boss with new chemist employees, I'd give each one a copy, and my staff could use it too.''
–YORKE E. RHODES Ph.D., CHEMISTRY PROFESSOR AND DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING PROGRAM, NEW YORK UNIVERSITY ''Dr. Friary has first-hand knowledge about the pharmaceutical industry and this book relays his knowledge, obtained by years of experience, to the reader. This book is unequaled in the sheer amount of information that it contains about all facets of being hired, working within, and retiring in a pharmaceutical company. Appendices provided are very helpful in getting in touch with pharmaceutical companies across the country if one desires to seek employment with one of them. I strongly recommend this book for anyone considering a career in the drug industry. …it is a book that I will use upon initiation of my own job search.''
–BRENDEN RICKARDS, UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT, WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY ''…A delightful and easy to read account of what might be expected in the drug industry. The author seems to have hit every base and expected every question. I will feel very comfortable in suggesting that a student look this over if he or she wants to know more about possible careers in chemistry.''
–BRAD MUNDY, COLBY COLLEGE ''This book is a great tool to learn everything you need to know about the pharmaceutical business and how to approach a possible job in the field. A thorough and descriptive guide to understanding the drug industry. I found it very helpful when I read what interviewers expect and look for in candidates.

–CHEMICAL & ENGINEERING NEWS, August 7, 2000 ''. . . gives a fine overall picture of the industry and the career possibilities beyond drug discovery. . .. His geographical index of drug-related firms is especially valuable.''
–CHEMICAL INNOVATION, June 2000 ''The author, Richard Friary, is a very successful organic and medicinal chemist with more than 30 years experience. In this book he describes the kind of work that is done by medicinal or process chemists in the pharmaceutical industry as well as the consequent satisfactions and rewards deriving from his work. The book gathers into a single volume all of the basics involved in getting a job as a medicinal or process chemist in the North American drug industry. Jobs in the Drug Industry is an accurate presentation of opportunities and rewards for chemists in the pharmaceutical field.'' ''. . .it will be of particular benefit to those who advise students, i.e., university professors, administrators, and faculty.''
–Carl Kaiser, JOURNAL OF MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY, Vol.43, No. 15. '' . . .perhaps the most useful section is the chapter devoted to the critical reviewing of prospective employers and job offers, skills that most scientists lack. If you're looking for your first ''real'' job out of graduate school or after a postdoc, this is the book.''
–Randall Willis, TODAY'S CHEMIST AT WORK, September 2000. ''Friary treats his subject in a most comprehensive way. He gathers the fundamentals for chemists of getting a job in the pharmaceutical industry and shows the kinds of work chemists do, the salaries and benefits they get, and advises on job and company evaluation. In addition to all the practical aspects in job hunting, the book's most lasting values may lie in describing the process and challenges of drug discovery.''

Stacks at Home 6
SoldAsk us a question
22x30", mixed media on paper
"This series was completed after the residency in Joshua Tree. I was back in my studio in Oakland and feeling at home, surrounded by the deep blues of the bay area. One of the luxuries of working in the studio again was the fact that I was also building sculpture and had much more space to play. The canvas sculptures I was building began to stack in the studio and I was fascinated by the shapes forming- ultimately inspiring me to paint from them.
"Working primarily with paint and non-traditional materials, my recent work is a reflection of travels in nature. I spend time collecting moments from wooded areas, agitated rivers, and panoramic views of the ocean and convey them through medium washes and emphatic marks. Color is used like punctuation—as a means to control the energy and direct the eye."

Spokane area plastic surgeons start three-month campaign to alert consumers
Most of us don't know that nearly any doctor, no matter what specialty he or she has, is allowed to perform plastic surgery.
A group of 10 board certified Spokane and North Idaho doctors, all members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, have formed a cooperative to address the need for more consumer information about their practice.
A press release on Tuesday states the group is starting a three-month series of TV, print and web ads to inform people about the risks of not using trained and certified plastic surgeons.
"We are concerned about billboards and other local advertising vehicles that promise the world to potential patients -- without explaining that the world into which they were being lured is a mirage. We are trying to educate the public about the skill level of ABPS - certified plastic surgeons. These other physicians are operating out of their scope of practice," said Dr. Carol Hathaway, a member of the group, in a press release.
Board certified plastic surgeons have at least six years of surgical training, have passed rigorous testing and operate only in accredited medical facilities, the group said in a release.
The 10 doctors participating are: Dr. Carol Hathaway, Dr. Lynn Derby, Dr. Alfonso Oliva, Dr. Edwin Chang, Dr. Elizabeth Peterson, Dr. Jeffrey Karp and Dr. Robert Cooper, all of Spokane; and Dr. Mark Owsley and Dr. Patrick Mullern, of Post Falls; and Dr. Michelle Spring of Ponderay, Idaho.

While in Mexico, West and Gordon are witnesses to an assassination attempt against President Juarez. The sniper, who is dressed as a priest, escapes, but his accomplice, disguised as a Mexican peasant, is killed and the agents identify him as an American killer. Martial law is declared and already shaky diplomatic relations between Mexico and the U. S. become further strained; the agents set themselves to finding the assassin and defusing the situation, hoping against hope that their actions won't just end up making things worse.
Tropes present in this episode:
- Bad Habits: An assassin disguises himself as a priest to slip past guards. Later, Artie does the same thing while busting the assassin out of jail.
- Cold-Blooded Torture: Colonel Barbossa's specialty. He's especially good at getting information from uncooperative prisoners.
- Colonel Badass: Two of them: Colonel Arsenio Barbossa and Colonel Lupita Gonzalez.
- Conspicuously Public Assassination: Attempted against the President of Mexico. Fortunately, the assassin is a terrible shot.
- Great Escape: Jim and Artie have to bust the assassin out of prison so he'll tell them who hired him.
- Hero Antagonist: Colonel Lupita Gonzalez of the Mexican Secret Service.
- Right Hand vs. Left Hand: Artie and Jim race to solve an assassination attempt before the Mexican authorities can and, in the process, nearly allow the mastermind behind the plot to get away.
