However when I made the Nauceans and eventually Sagan 4, I looked at it like a history book or species guide than a story.
And even when I did RP with the Nauceans it was very limited and in the beginning just for novelty sake. Since interacting with other people's creatures was "taboo" at first. Mainly since you did not want to mess with other peoples timelines. I mean we did not even know if we were in the same universe let alone galaxy as the other people's species.
Star Trek is great story but awful Sci-fi. Unoriginal aliens. Lots of technobabble. Unimpressive combat.

"Cheese -- milk's leap toward immortality."
-- Clifton Fadiman, author, editor and radio host
Jaimie Casey has nothing but positive things to say about cheese, from its healthful qualities to its yummy taste.
So it makes perfect sense that the trained chef and caterer founded the Palo Alto Cheese School last fall, offering monthly events at Hidden Villa that are more "club" than class. Her next event is a pairing of cheese and micro-brews.
Casey calls herself a "cheesemonger" -- somewhat like a fishmonger, only for cheese.
After training at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, Casey went to work at a variety of restaurants. She quickly found the crazy hours and working on holidays not conducive to having a life. So she took a job at a tea shop/food retailer called Leonard's 2001 in San Francisco.
There she was exposed to cheese in a big way: Picture six doors fronting refrigerated storage compartments, each holding 50 different cheeses. Her job was to get to know each cheese, so she could explain their complexities to customers.
Her first taste was of Vella Dry Jack -- she now has a cat named after the cheese -- "and I realized there was more to cheese than being powdered white or orange, and more to life than Velveeta," she said.
Ultimately she moved on to manage A.G. Ferrari Foods in Palo Alto, where she met her husband while selling him ... cheese.
Today she runs J.C. Culinary, a small private catering outfit, and offers twice-monthly cheese tastings at The Milk Pail in Mountain View and cheese-and-wine events at J. Lohr in San Jose, as well as her monthly classes at Hidden Villa.
"I really like cheese," she said with understatement.
Her personal favorite is a fresh goat cheese. "It reminds me of cream cheese, but it's healthy," she said, citing that it's lower in fat, cholesterol and calories than cow cheese, and is full of Omega-6 as well. "It's considered an almost perfect protein," she said.
Casey and her husband have traveled to London and Paris, where "we ate our way in cheese." They like to joke that when they were first dating he sure was fooled when he heard the cattle-ranch-raised Casey couldn't care less about Prada shoes. He didn't know about her cheese habit.
Casey sees cheese tasting as a cultural experience: "You find out a lot about people when you put food in front of them. If they like it or not, you always get some kind of response."
In her January class, called "Goat Cheese Fun," she offered six cheeses to sample, including Humboldt Fog from Cypress Grove, Calif. -- the very cheese she sold to her husband-to-be. The cheeses were complemented by walnut bread, dried apricots, marinated fennel, roasted walnuts and three kinds of wine.
At first her classes drew about 15 people, but this one sold out with 35 students. About half have come before.
It's possible to make cheese at home, Casey said, but a tad challenging. As she puts it, all it takes is a stovetop and part of a day.
Creating a 1-pound log of goat cheese requires about 8 quarts of raw milk (not the pasteurized kind one finds in a supermarket), rennet or other enzymes, a strainer and a large pot.
The tricky part is being very careful with the unpasteurized milk, she stressed.
Those interested in getting started can go online and find cheese-making kits, she added.
At her next class, Casey will co-host with Sayre Piotrkowski, a beer cicerone (that's a certified expert) from the Monk's Kettle in San Francisco. The challenge will be to balance sweet, salty or sour qualities, "finding a cheese that creates more complexity" in the pairing with beers.
She can see a chocolaty beer coupled with a light and tangy goat cheese, for example.
In future, Casey wants to earn her certificate in cheese-making. Then she'll be geared up for what she hopes will be the next step at Hidden Villa, actually making some of the cheeses she talks about.
But, that would require more than the two milking goats, sheep and cows that live there. Casey would like to see a proper aging facility, with a small refrigerator with a filtering system to control the bacteria. She can envision a nice local Gouda or a younger English cheese, but "this takes time and money," she said. "I have no doubt it will happen. It's a matter of when."

The Troop Committee consists of the Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary, Scoutmaster, one Assistant Scoutmaster, and other voting members as nominated. This group is responsible for ensuring Troop 39 abide by all BSA policies and guidelines, finds adequate adult leadership for the Troop, and manage funds raised by the Troop. The Scoutmaster serves at the approval of the Troop Committee Chair and UUMC.
The Scoutmaster is the adult leader responsible for the image and program of the Troop. The Scoutmaster and his Assistant Scoutmasters work directly with the Scouts. The importance of the Scoutmaster's job is reflected in the fact that the quality of his guidance will affect every youth and adult involved in the Troop. General duties include training and guiding boy leaders, working with other responsible adults to bring Scouting boys, and using the methods of Scouting to achieve the aims of Scouting.
To fulfill his obligations to the Troop, the Scoutmaster, with the assistance of the Troop Committee, recruits Assistant Scoutmasters to help operate the Troop. Each Assistant Scoutmaster is assigned specific program duties and reports to the Scoutmaster. They also provide the required two-deep leadership standards set by the Boy Scouts of America (there must be at least two adults present at any Boy Scout activity). An Assistant Scoutmaster may be 18 years old, but at least one in each troop should be 21 or older, so he or she can serve in the Scoutmaster's absence. Troop 39's Assistant Scoutmasters share responsibility for planning monthly trips, high adventure opportunities, advancement, merit badge instruction, and assisting the Scoutmaster as asked.
Youth Leadership
Youth leadership is an important aspect of the Scouting program since leadership experience is required for rank advancement to Star, Life, Eagle, and Eagle Palm awards. Troop 39 has revised the leadership development part of the troop program
- to help each Scout learn the art of leadership
- to offer each Scout specific, guided opportunities
- to develop quality leadership skills as a youth
- to create a personalized approach to tracking leadership development for each leadership position.
Leadership Positions: Positions not specified in the requirements for each rank will not count toward a rank advancement, as per BSA policy.
Senior Patrol Leader – top junior leader in the troop. He leads the patrol leaders' council and appoints other junior leaders and assigns specific responsibilities as needed.
Assistant Senior Patrol Leader – fills in for senior patrol leader in his absence. He is also responsible for training and giving direction to the quartermaster, scribe, troop historian, librarian, and guides.
Troop Historian – collects and maintains troop memorabilia and information on former troop members as well as documenting through photos and articles all current troop outings and activities. The troop historian also assists the troop webmaster with website information and updates.
Librarian – keeps troop books, pamphlets, magazines, audiovisuals, and merit badge counselor list available for use by troop members.
Guide – teaches one or more advancement skills to troop members.
Chaplain aide – assists in troop religious services and promotes religious emblems program.
Junior assistant Scoutmaster – a Scout 16 or older who supervises and supports other boy leaders as assigned.
Patrol Leader – gives leadership to members of his patrol and represents them on the patrol leaders' council.
Assistant Patrol Leader – fills in for the patrol leader in his absence.
Den chief – works with a Cub Scout den as a guide.
Quartermaster – responsible for troop supplies and equipment.
Scribe – the troop secretary.
Leadership Project: A substantial project, of equal duration to a Troop position (about 5-6 months), may be substituted as proof of leadership under certain circumstances. A boy may suggest a project with a written description to the Scoutmaster. If approved, he may continue with the project.
Leadership training may be held periodically during the Troop year. All Scouts 13 and over, with at least the rank of First Class, will be expected to attend.
When a Scout needs a leadership position for a rank advancement, he should contact the Senior Patrol Leader. The following is the process for fulfilling a leadership requirement:
- A Scout must declare to the Senior Patrol Leader and the Scoutmaster his need for a leadership position.
- The Scoutmaster and SPL will discuss possible positions for the Scout and reach a mutual decision.
- The SPL will appoint the Scout a leadership position.
Once a leadership position has been assigned the Scout will receive training and expectations of the leadership position. This booklet contains the duties, a description, and the prerequisites for each Troop-level position.
The Scout and will have at least three (3) goals the Scout plans to complete during his term. The Scout understands the time frame for the rank requirement is a guide, not an absolute. The portfolio creates a definite starting date and ending date as agreed upon by the Scout but may be extended beyond the period listed in the rank requirement.
Leadership Project Safety
Troop 39 considers safety a primary concern. The Troop Committee approved the following safety rules, which Troop members are to follow:
- One or more adults must be present at all times, preferably the parent(s) of the scout leading the project.
- A scout shall only transport other scouts if he has secured proper written permission from a parent of the scout being transported.
- A scout with a driver's license shall only operate a vehicle while under the direct supervision of an adult.
- Scouts shall only operate power equipment and tools while under the direct supervision of an adult.
- Scouts shall never ride in open vehicles such as truck beds, trailers, tractors, etc.
If there is an injury the project leader or an adult present at the time of the injury shall notify the Scoutmaster or an Assistant Scoutmaster as soon as possible.

The founder and General Secretary of the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, MDMK leader vaiko and Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) leader Vijayakanth(makkal nalla kootani cm candidate) leads the new political party Makkal Nala Kootani(People's Welfare Coalition) as now Captain Vijayakanth Kootani in Tamil Nadu to face the coming assembly election 2016 in Tamil Nadu.Makkal Nala Kootani is coalition of leading political parties in Tamil Nadu, includes MDMK, DMDK, the Communist Party of India, and CPI(M).
All makkal nala kootani parties MDMK,CPI,CPIM,VCK and DMDK had alliance with two major political parties DMK and AIADMK before for several years, and all these parties never competed as single till now and they always had a alliance with these two major parties DMK and AIADMK. Before forming this MNK party all these parties were had alliance negotiations between these two major parties, but it was not successfull as they expected.
Recently Polimer TV channel interviewed MDMK leader vaiko and reporter started like, AIADMK party given you Rs.1500 crores to form MNK party. Suddenly vaiko stood up and said interview was over and he moved out from channel immediately. But reporter said still interview was not yet over and still i didn't even complete my question, but vaiko didn't bothered reporter.
Public election 2016 predictions, whether Makkal Nala Kootani an alternative to DMK and ADMK parties in 2016 Tamilnadu assembly election? but absolutely not. The main intention to form MNK party is to make DMK party to be out of competition in future elections and according to public, MNK party is an AIADMK party's team B.
Election department announced, on coming 16th May 2016 will be an election day in tamil nadu and counting will be done on 19th May 2016 and on same day we will come to know the next Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
Though people welcome this alliance but still there are many opposition parties of Tamilnadu like DMK and Congress who keeps mentioning that this alliance is a B team of Jayalalitha's ADMK and DMK party men trolls vaiko and other leaders by putting up Vaiko memes, Makkal Nala Kootani Memes across socialmedia. Vijayakanth also joined this alliance and now it looks to be a promising alliance to face this upcoming elections. Here are the collection of those Vaiko memes and makkal nala kootani memes.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — A healthy debate is good for the emotional and mental health of know-it-alls the likes of which you'll find here at the hideout.
That theory extends to friends of the Hang Time Podcast as well, and is what makes Episode 66 so much fun. We're debating all things — is Chauncey Billups still deserving of his Mr. Big Shot nickname, what's the best way to do business in today's NBA, Blake Griffin or Kevin Love, and who is more deserving a spot in the Slam Dunk contest, Josh McRoberts or Jeremy Evans?
You name the debate and we're having it with special guests:
— Grantland's Jonah Keri made his HTP debut, complete with, as he put it, some "Chauncey-bashing, Celtics fandom & roster-building talk". We even talked a little baseball with Keri, the author of "The Extra 2%," and proud Montreal native who now resides in (or at least remarkably close to) the same Denver neighborhood Billups grew up in.
— Former Utah Jazz forward Matt Harpring, who tormented Georgia fans like Lang for years while starring at Georgia Tech, helped us see the light on Griffin-Love debate, and talks about what makes the Jazz so special right now — and why Evans needs to be in a dunk contest near you soon. An analyst on Jazz television broadcasts who also can be spotted on NBA TV's airwaves from time to time, Harpring provides an intriguing breakdown of one of the league's surprise teams.
For all that and our reflections what's going on in the NBA at the quarter pole …

A private investigator hired to tail Costa Mesa Councilmen Gary Monahan and Steve Mensinger said he was sent to Monahan's sports bar with a woman to see whether Monahan would behave inappropriately.
Chris Lanzillo, a Menifee investigator and former police officer, told the Daily Pilot that he went to Monahan's bar on Aug. 22 on behalf of a client he would not name to gather dirt on Monahan and Mensinger, who were running for City Council.
Lanzillo, who said his surveillance actions were entirely legal, denied being familiar with Mayor Pro Tem Jim Righeimer before following him home and reporting him as a possible drunk driver. Police cleared Righeimer of driving drunk, and the councilman produced a receipt for two Diet Cokes.
Righeimer has contended he was set up by organized labor because of his efforts to reduce what he deems overly generous city employee compensation and retirement packages. Labor representatives have denied any advance knowledge of, or responsibility for, Lanzillo's actions.
In Lanzillo's account of events, the woman, whom he said was not paid for her efforts to flirt with Monahan, sat at a table at the bar in Skosh Monahan's Steakhouse and Irish Pub, which the councilman owns, smiled at Monahan, and then interacted with him as he poured whiskey.
Due to the ongoing investigation into Lanzillo, Monahan said he has been asked by prosecutors not to comment on the alleged setup.
"I've pretty much been advised by the D.A. not to say anything, not to get involved," Monahan said in a phone message left for a Pilot reporter Friday. "It is what it is, and the D.A. is investigating what happened on that particular day. That's pretty much the best I can do for you until they get finished [with the investigation]."
Righeimer was at the bar that night and he said the woman in question can be seen on surveillance video entering the bar behind him. That video is now under the district attorney's control and could not be reviewed by the Daily Pilot. Righeimer didn't remember any of Monahan's interactions with the woman.
"To say I saw her would actually be a stretch," he said. "Gary's is an open restaurant. She was at this table right next to the bar. [Monahan] was going back and forth, his daughter got us Diet Cokes."
However, another person with knowledge of the investigation who requested anonymity told the Daily Pilot that Monahan ignored the woman's overtures and kept working. Monahan is married.
Righeimer condemned Lanzillo's actions, saying, "I think our people and people in this country should be disturbed by the cavalier attitude of a P.I. that was hired by our police association."
He alleged that such tactics are designed to "destroy people's lives and families."
"You send a woman in to get something to happen, and then you get that dirt," he said. "They do not use that dirt on a mailer. That's called extortion."
Mensinger called on the police association to condemn the investigator's tactics.
"I will be watching carefully those union leaders that repudiate this and those that don't," Mensinger said.
The head of the police union, Jason Chamness, was out of town Friday and could not be reached for comment. In past interviews, however, he has said his organization did not retain Lanzillo and had no prior awareness of the alleged DUI setup.
The POA previously retained a law firm for which Lanzillo worked — Lackie, Dammeier McGill & Ethir — but fired the firm shortly after Lanzillo called 911 about Righeimer.
In addition to the Costa Mesa Police Officers Assn., the Orange County Employees Assn., which represents city employees, also denied any involvement.
The Orange County district attorney's office is investigating the DUI call but so far has declined to comment on the case. Lanzillo has not been charged in the case, which Costa Mesa police turned over to the D.A. Lanzillo's attorney told the Pilot he doubts prosecutors will file a case.
Mensinger issued a statement following publication Friday of the opinion column in the Orange County Register that was the first to report Lanzillo worked with a woman to test Monahan.
"I am saddened by the confirmation that a detective who worked for our police department's law firm was trying to entrap me and my council colleagues," Mensinger said. "Why? So members of their union can retire earlier? This is a chilling, Chicago-style message to future leaders: Play by their rules or they will ruin your life."
Costa Mesa Police Chief Tom Gazsi said Friday morning that he couldn't comment on details of the investigation, except to say that one is ongoing.
"The department conducted the initial thorough investigation related to this matter," he said. "That investigation was provided to the district attorney's office for additional work, and that investigation, with the collaboration of the Costa Mesa Police Department, continues."
The city's CEO, Tom Hatch, said in a statement that he has every confidence in the district attorney holding those culpable accountable.
"If true, the despicable tactics described in today's Orange County Register have to be disturbing to every Costa Mesa resident and anyone who cares about representative government," Hatch wrote. "The city management team has confidence in the Orange County district attorney's office to fully investigate the incident, and, if appropriate, hold those accountable for their actions. Resolving this issue will allow Costa Mesa residents to move forward in a united manner and get back to the business of being a great city."

Let us review the three laws of the Off-Roading Code of Excellence. 1) The rougher the terrain, the greater the gain. The ARIES modular bumper is built with carbon steel and has a powder coat finish to challenge any terrain. 2) Where there's a winch, there's a way. The ARIES modular bumper features a universal winch housing to accept most winches and has holes for mounting tow hooks. 3) If you can still tell what color your Jeep is, you have more mud to find. The ARIES modular bumper is all about making your Jeep look good, on the street and on the trail. It features a 6-piece, totally customizable design that can be tailored to your own personal tastes and off-roading needs. As far as the Off-Roading Code of Excellence is concerned, the ARIES modular bumper is a model citizen.

The bears at the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone, Mont., are repeat offenders, chronic trash bears who have resisted repeated attempts to move them away from populated areas.
They faced euthanization if they hadn't found a final home at the sanctuary.
Now, like hackers who have gone to work for the government chasing other hackers, the bears put their trash skills up against human ingenuity in protecting garbage.
Bears and trash
Bear/trash cam: Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center 's bear cam
Info: For more information about bear-resistant product testing, visit grizzlydiscoveryctr.com
All products that carry the bear-resistant label have to be tested here and withstand an hour of sustained assault by a team of experienced grizzly bears.
The products, which range from dumpsters and roll-outs to panniers for horses and coolers, are filled with favorite foods — fish, meat, peanut butter and honey — and placed in the bears' 2-acre habitat.
The bears are released from their dens in small groups in a rotation, with up to five bears in the habitat at a time. If a bear loses interest in a container after less than an hour, the container remains in the enclosure until other bears have completed the hour of testing.
The product also has to still function after the bear assault and open, close and latch with ease.
Randy Gravatt, the center's facilities manager and testing coordinator, said they tested 52 products last year. Just 30 of them passed.
"A lot of people have that idea that they can do it, and they're very surprised how strong and how smart bears are," he said. "The product gets destroyed in 30 seconds."
The bears range in size from 350 pounds to 600 pounds.
Most products don't have to withstand the center's monster, a 1,000-pound grizzly bear, unless the manufacturer wants to sell it in Alaska.
The fee to test a product varies depending on the size. A residential garbage can costs $250 to test.
Gravatt said the center will re-test for a reduced fee if the person who made the container thinks a small modification, like a different sized bolt, will help it pass.
Gravatt said people at the center want designers to succeed.
"We want the containers to pass," he said. "We're rooting for them. Every successful bear-resistant container means fewer dead bears."

I definitely appreciated the location of Point Park in Downtown Pittsburgh. It was convenient no matter where I was living, be it Downtown Pittsburgh or the South Side. Pittsburgh is still my favorite city in this country.
Since we're on tour so frequently, our day-to-day tends to shift a lot. When we're in the city, we generally work from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., five days a week. We normally start the day with whatever we need: Pilates, Yoga, the ballet barre and some abdominal work. The rest of the day is spent on notes, learning old pieces or creating new work. Then it's time to go home, eat and sleep. It's a long day.
I would be no where near the dancer I am today had it not been for the teachers I had at Point Park and the classes I took. I had such a diverse range of classes to choose from, which I believe is key to a good education. This helped me to be more comfortable switching between different styles.
Professors Doug Bentz and Jason McDole had a huge influence on my career path. Doug was able to rid me of my tense hands, neck and feet. He taught me more about my body and myself than I knew possible, and body awareness has become one of my biggest assets. Jason was able to introduce me to an array of styles, including the Parson's style.
My career goals are to just keep doing what I'm doing. I'm so happy with what I'm doing right now. I get paid to dance and travel the world with seven of my very best friends. And we have insurance. After Parsons, I have no idea where I will end up. I love concert dance and definitely want to stay in that world.

I love this feature because it is easy to do and a very visible way to monitor who is reading your blog!
I also do one more thing, but it may seem redundant to some folks. I am a lover and use of iGoogle. I have used it in my other life, School Library Media Specialist. I like iGoogle because:
- All of your blogs are visible on one page with the latest 3 or more posts visible. You set up the parameters. This is different from a reader because in a reader, you capture all of the blog posts until you read them and/or delete them or mark them as favorites.
- I find that I am too busy to want to see everything that has ever been been published and that if I monitor my iGoogle page daily, I can quickly see at a glance what is "happening."
- If I find a particularly interesting blog post in my iGoogle page, I can click on the blog heading and a new Internet window will launch. I can then browse that blog and go back in their history as long as I want!
- You can personalize each iGoogle tab any way you want with numberous themes. For variety, each tab can have a different theme. You can name the tab anything you prefer.
- You can easily delete RSS feeds, add RSS feeds, and move the RSS feeds around on your page so that your favorites will be at the top of the page.
- There are numerous widgets that you can add for ease; i.e., clock, calendar, things to do list, translator, ping widget to update your status in other social networking sites, etc.
- It does tend to take a few minutes to load, especially if you have a lot of feeds on the page/tab.
- Since this is not a Reader, the set number of posts keeps updating and the oldest ones "drop off" iGoogle. If you really want to capture EVERY post from EVERY blog, then this would not be the format for you.
You can see my ping.fm widget so that I can quickly update my "status" (I update to facebook and twitter) from this site. Why would I do that? I work in a busy high school media center (library) and I do not have time to do much "personal" social networking, so I find that if I keep my iGoogle page up at work, I have access to my calendar (which my husband uses and we sync it with our Outlook calendar at home), my "things to do list" my blog postings and my status updater. Also, facebook is blocked at my school, so at a minimum, I can still update my status even if I can't log in! If I come across a neat website or blog or article that I would like to share, I can quickly put it in my "status" and let my friends and colleagues know about it.
Here is my tab where I post my genalogy blogs:
You can see that enlarged the box in one of my feeders (top row, in the middle) and these options give you the ability to quickly share the feed with someone, delete it, or change it so that you can see more blog posts than the default of 3. You can also select the "You might also like" option and Google will try to find you more feeds like the one on your page.
You also have the capability to share the entire tab with someone. This is great if you want someone else to read the same blogs as you; maybe a friend, colleague or genealogy group, etc.
Well, I hope that I have given someone a peek at my attempt at how I organize all of the wonderful information on the World Wide Web and maybe you can use some of the ideas that I have shared with you!

BOSTON, MA, September 26, 2007 – PAREXEL International Corporation (NASDAQ: PRXL), a leading global biopharmaceutical services organization, today announced the successful completion of the acquisition of Taiwan–based APEX International Clinical Research Co., Ltd. ("APEX"). The acquisition strengthens PAREXEL's global capabilities, providing clients with a wide range of clinical research service offerings throughout the Asia-Pacific region, including mainland China, Hong Kong, India, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, New Zealand, and Australia.
PAREXEL (Taiwan), Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PAREXEL, initiated a Tender Offer on June 29, 2007 to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of APEX. On September 7, 2007, the Tender Offer closed and PAREXEL acquired 20.3 million shares of common stock of APEX, representing 93.9% of APEX's total issued and outstanding shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Tender Offer, the Company paid New Taiwan Dollars (NT) of $82.94 or U.S. Dollars (USD) of approximately $2.51 for each APEX share of common stock tendered, for a total purchase price of approximately NT $1.7 billion, which equates to USD of approximately $50.9 million. The name of the new entity is PAREXEL APEX International.
Four years ago PAREXEL purchased a minority interest in APEX after conducting a considerable amount of due diligence to ensure that the company's programs and standards met PAREXEL's rigorous quality guidelines. During this time, APEX established a strong track record of success, carrying out numerous clinical studies with PAREXEL.
"The Asia-Pacific region is becoming increasingly important and attractive for a wide range of clinical development activities," stated Josef von Rickenbach, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PAREXEL International. "Several factors are driving client demand for clinical research services in the Asia-Pacific region including established and sophisticated healthcare systems in many countries, the availability of highly trained professionals, and attractive end markets for biopharmaceutical products. We believe that the acquisition of APEX is of great strategic value, and combined with PAREXEL's existing presence in Japan, India, and Australia, will make PAREXEL a formidable competitor and one of the leading providers of biopharmaceutical services in the Asia-Pacific region."
Mr. von Rickenbach continued, "Our long-term alliance with APEX and subsequent acquisition reinforces our commitment to providing high quality clinical development services in the Asia-Pacific region. By fully integrating APEX into PAREXEL's global operations, we will enhance our ability to help clients more quickly achieve their goals of bringing important therapies to patients not only in the Asia-Pacific region, but also throughout the rest of the world."
"Our diverse client base will greatly benefit from the combination with PAREXEL, which will provide a broader global scope and the ability to offer a wider array of capabilities for clinical programs," said Albert Liou, founder of APEX and newly-appointed Corporate Vice President and General Manager of PAREXEL APEX International. "The APEX team is eager to combine PAREXEL's deep experience in clinical development with APEX's extensive knowledge of medical and clinical development practices and approaches that are specific to the Asia-Pacific region."
Through the acquisition of APEX, PAREXEL augments its service offering with additional capabilities in key areas, including:
- Good Clinical Practice (GCP)-compliant services, especially in late phases of clinical development, in 11 Asia-Pacific countries, including China and several other emerging geographies
- Clinical and regulatory experts with local experience
- Medical expertise and access to patient populations across a wide range of complex and important therapeutic areas, including cardiology, rheumatology, endocrinology, oncology, infectious disease, and neurology
PAREXEL APEX International will host an Opening Ceremony on October 4, 2007 in Taiwan for clients and government officials to celebrate the combination of PAREXEL and APEX. Guest speakers will include Josef von Rickenbach, Albert Liou, and local dignitaries.

Community Case Management for Former Jail Inmates: Its Impacts on Rearrest, Drug Use and HIV Risk
August 30, 2005
Adapted from:
Dramatic increases in U.S. incarceration rates have led to large concentrations of formerly imprisoned people living in poverty-plagued urban areas. It is therefore important to urban communities -- and to service providers and policymakers concerned about them -- to identify ways of helping inmates who exhibit multiple, serious problems and who are at great risk of experiencing poor postrelease outcomes.
One such strategy, Health Link, recruited adult women and adolescent men during their incarceration in a New York City jail and offered case management services during the particularly challenging first year after release. Over a three-year period, about 1,400 participants were randomly assigned either to a group that was eligible for intensive discharge planning services and community-based case management services or to a group eligible for less-intensive discharge planning and no community-based services. The authors investigated whether the availability of such services reduced rates of HIV risk, drug use, and rearrest.
During a one-year follow-up period after participants' release from jail, interview data and hair analysis showed increased participation in drug treatment programs and weak evidence for reduced drug use. However, reductions in rearrest rates or in activities with high HIV risk were not observed.
The authors concluded that "a well-executed case management program can make modest differences in a few short-term outcomes of former inmates. However, the intervention did not lead to the hoped-for changes across a range of outcomes that would clearly indicate greater success in community reintegration or improved health."

Pratt & Whitney provides newly manufactured parts for customers operating both current production engines such as the F100 (F-15, F-16), F117 (C-17) and F119 (F-22) and out of production engines like the J52 (EA-6B), TF30 (F-111) and TF33 (B-52, KC-135E, JSTARS, AWACS). Customer requirements for new engine parts stem from the normal wear and tear associated with military missions to planned maintenance intervals to perform engine overhauls to ensure flight safety. Spare parts are ordered by our customers through a variety of contractual agreements to support flight line, intermediate and depot maintenance needs.
To ensure availability, Pratt & Whitney maintains a large supplier base with the expertise to provide semi-finished items for final processing at Pratt & Whitney facilities or manufactured Pratt & Whitney finished parts. All suppliers to Pratt & Whitney must satisfy stringent quality standards established by Pratt & Whitney and the U.S. government for uncompromised flight safety and war fighter readiness.
Our Repair Development Engineering group is dedicated to developing new repairs and reliability enhancements to increase fleet readiness and decrease total cost of ownership. Our Repair Clinic process is typical of our aggressive approach to lowering the cost of ownership. With our Repair Clinic, we look at the high volume/high value items in the customer's scrap bin and develop repairs that produce reliable, quality parts. Our large portfolio of repair capabilities is constantly growing, thanks to the Repair Clinics and a team of more than 140 development engineers—innovators who are constantly looking for solutions to emerging material stress conditions.
Pratt & Whitney has formed a public-private partnership with the USAF Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center under the authority of 10 USC 2474, Centers of Industrial Technical Excellence. The partnering agreement establishes the cooperation and mutual support necessary to implement direct sales, work share or lease agreements for workload targeted for 50/50 compliance. The most recent version of the agreement with OC-ALC can be implemented for any of the Pratt & Whitney military products, including F119, F100, F117 and F135. This partnership is the model for future Pratt & Whitney public-private partnerships with other Department of Defense (DoD) depots and has been considered as a model in the aerospace industry.
Pratt & Whitney has worked with the USAF to implement the principles of the United Technologies Corporation (UTC) Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) at the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center. The effort focused on improving the efficiency of our largest military customer through the use of set-up reduction, total productive maintenance, relentless root cause analysis, bench marking, value stream mapping and other ACE tools.
Pratt & Whitney can provide facility-planning services to assist a customer establish its own engine maintenance facility, test cell or expansion program. These services can range from a simple Pratt & Whitney summary review to an on-the-spot detailed analysis. As a result of these reviews and analyses, we can provide our customers with a building layout showing department locations, work flow and equipment placement. We can also recommend required facility equipment and estimate costs.
Customer training is offered for intermediate level and depot level maintenance either in East Hartford at the Customer Training Center (CTC) or, if requested, at the customer's facility. The advantage of providing training at the customer's location is that the customer can avoid extended time away and the expense for its maintainers, with the customer furnishing a training engine. Training at the CTC offers a world class facility with modern training aids and training equipment (support equipment and engines). Areas covered in maintenance training include engine familiarization, borescope inspection, test cell operation, test and repair of engine controls and intermediate maintenance procedures.
In addition to providing facility planning services and ACE events, Pratt & Whitney provides additional consulting services to our international military customers and suppliers that improve their productivity and efficiency. Pratt & Whitney also aids customers in developing the logistics programs that best satisfies their readiness requirements.
Pratt & Whitney provides all the technical documentation to fly, operate, and maintain our aircraft engine products. We publish the engine and maintenance manuals, service bulletins, special instructions, illustrated parts catalogs, other technical documents and training materials. All publications are continuously updated to incorporate the latest configurations, repair processes, and operating recommendations.

- 1/4 C. unsalted butter
- 1 Tbs. fresh marjoram leaves
- 4 leaves radicchio, thinly sliced
- 1/4 C. freshly grated smoked ricotta
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the squash in half or thirds and place on aluminum foil in the oven. Bake until tender when pierced with a fork, usually 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and, when it is cool enough to handle, scoop out and discard the seeds and membrane. Scoop the flesh into a strainer placed over a large bowl. Place in the refrigerator so that the squash cools and the liquid drains away. Leave for at least 6 hours or overnight. Pass the drained squash through a ricer and then transfer to a large bowl. Add the eggs and salt. Stir well and add the flour, a little at a time, stirring to amalgamate all the ingredients. The result should be soft but not runny. Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and allow the water to return to a boil. With a tsp., scoop up some of the dough. Use your fingers to form the gnocchi, which should be about the size and shape of a spoon. Cook the gnocchi in the boiling water and cook until they rise to the top of the pot. While the gnocchi cook, heat the butter over medium-high heat until it foams and subsides. Add the marjoram and radicchio and sauté over high heat for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drain the cooked gnocchi and add them to the pan with the radicchio. Toss very gently to coat. Divide the dressed gnocchi evenly among 4 warmed pasta bowls, top with the grated ricotta and serve immediately.

Kevin C needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 224 designs submitted by 63 freelance designers.
Aspiro Cycles
We are launching a small custom bicycle company. Currently we sell and service tour de france type bicycles and would like to expand our offering. We care deeply about the quality of the product that we sell. Form is as important as function to us.
These will be modern steel bicycle frames that appeal to the urban commuter. The price of these bicycles will be approx $1300-$2500. The person who buys this bike could buy something cheaper to do the job. However they have a sense of style and would like a bicycle that not only functions well, it has a sense of fashion. The word aspiro is latin for breathe. Breathe is about freedom, it is about exercise.
This logo will form the basis of our head badge (the logo that goes on the front of the bike head tube). Because this logo will be printed on shirts, hats... please do not overly complicate the logo. Black and white is fine. The logo font must be unique and very clean as we will use that font to put model names on the frames. Mini cooper recently launched a bike line. Although their bikes are very classic, there is a modern minimalism to the design that we find appealing.
Please avoid the obvious and doing something bike oriented. There is no point on having a logo of a wheel on a bike with wheels.
Please look at a bicycle. The top tube (long bar that connects the saddle to the handlebars and the head tube (the piece that connects the front fork and wheel to the handlebar) are where the graphics will be presented. Be mindful of the space limitations.

Mitt Romney is on his way to a sweeping victory in Florida, with close to 50% of the vote, compared with 32% or so for Newt Gingrich. It seems reasonable to conclude that South Carolina, and the early days of the Florida campaign, represented the high-water mark of the Gingrich campaign. As voters saw more of Newt, and especially as they witnessed his often over-the-top attacks on Romney, they became disenchanted. With the next Republican contests in Nevada, Maine, Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri, it is hard to see any reason to expected a Gingrich comeback. Comebacks have certainly not been the story of the GOP primaries so far.
While one doesn't want to be a Pollyanna, it also seems that the South Carolina and Florida experiences have been good for Romney and have made him a stronger candidate. It was when he fought back against Gingrich's campaign of defamation in the Florida debates that Romney re-established himself as the front-runner. It was, no doubt, good practice for a candidate to whom the rougher elements of the political game do not come easily. Gingrich's onslaught probably did Romney a good turn by preparing him for the Democrats' attacks that are yet to come.
Romney will be in Minnesota tomorrow evening with Tim Pawlenty, who has endorsed him. The event will be just a few miles from my house, so I have asked my wife to attend and give us a report (I am traveling on business). No doubt further twists and turns are possible, but tonight does feel like the beginning of the end for the Republican primary process.

Gasoline prices at the pump dropped Tuesday to their lowest since Feb. 22, 2011 — and they're likely to fall very close to $3 a gallon by the end of the year, according to AAA.
The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline stood at $3.18 Tuesday, down from $3.24 a week ago and $3.34 a month ago, data from AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge report show.
About one in four U.S. gasoline stations is selling regular gas for less than $3 a gallon, and about 10% are selling it for more than $3.50 a gallon, according to AAA.
The motorist club and leisure travel group said prices have fallen for 10 consecutive weeks and by a total of 41 cents a gallon since Labor Day, which marks the unofficial end of the summer driving season.
It expects prices to fall "close to" $3 a gallon by the end of the year because of abundant supplies, declining demand and lower oil /quotes/zigman/2237079/realtime CLZ3 costs. Read: Goodbye, $100 oil. Hello, $3 gasoline.
Those in Hawaii are still paying the highest price for gas at $4.05 a gallon, while California drivers pay $3.61 a gallon. The most expensive city is San Francisco, where drivers pay $3.74, while the city with the cheapest average price is in Springfield, Mo. — at $2.76 a gallon.
Drivers have now paid less than they did last year for 99 consecutive days, AAA said. Gas prices for this time of year are the lowest since 2010, it added.
A weekly survey released Tuesday from the U.S. Energy Information Administration showed that regular gas prices averaged $3.19 on Monday, down 7.1 cents from a week ago and at the lowest national pump price since February 2011.

(Italicized terms are also defined within this glossary or the glossary of Selected Diseases Related to the Immune System.)
active immunity: usually long-lasting immunity that is acquired through the production of antibodies and memory T cells within the organism in response to the presence of antigens.
adaptive immune system: also called the acquired immune system, this component of the immune system comprises white blood cells, particularly lymphocytes. When it is presented with a new microbe or vaccine, it may take days or weeks to respond or adapt, but the resultant improved immune readiness, or "memory," is sustained for long periods (years).
adenosine deaminase (ADA): an enzyme found in mammalian tissues that is capable of catalyzing the process in which adenosine is split into inosine and ammonia. A deficiency can cause problems with metabolic reactions in cells, which leads to the destruction of B and T cells. ADA deficiency can lead to one form of severe combined immunodeficiency disease.
allergy: a misguided reaction by the immune system to harmless foreign substances.
antibody: a protein on the surface of B cells that is also secreted in large amounts into the blood or lymph in response to an antigen, a component within an invader such as a bacterium, virus, parasite, or transplanted organ. Antibodies neutralize the antigen, and thereby the invader, by binding to it, often directing it toward a macrophage for destruction. Also called an immunoglobulin.
antigen: a foreign substance (usually a protein or carbohydrate) capable of triggering an immune response in an organism.
antiretroviral drugs: drugs that act against retroviruses (such as HIV ).
autoimmune disorders: conditions in which the body's own immune system acts against it.
autoreactive: describes immune cells that mount a response against the body's own cells or tissues.
B cell: a type of lymphocyte that produces antibodies, which bind to free-floating microbes circulating in the blood so that they cannot infect other cells.
biochemicals: chemicals produced within living organisms. Many coordinate to fight off invasion in an immune response.
biological barriers: the body's first layer of protection against harmful microbes; skin is a prime example.
blood-brain barrier: a tight layer of cells and tissue that separates the brain from the rest of the body; a physical roadblock that normally keeps immune cells outside the brain.
blood-forming stem cells: immature cells in the bone marrow that multiply extensively and produce red and white blood cells and platelets.
CD4+ helper T cells:T cells with CD4 receptors that respond to antigens on the surface of specific molecules by secreting a certain type of cytokine that stimulates B cells and killer T cells. Helper T cells are infected and killed by HIV; people who develop AIDS have no more than one-fifth the normal number of helper T cells.
central nervous system: the brain and spinal cord, to which sensory impulses are transmitted and from which motor impulses emanate. The central nervous system supervises and coordinates the activity of the entire nervous system and interacts with the immune system.
clones: copies that viruses make of themselves.
cytokine: a class of substance secreted by cells of the immune system to regulate immune cells.
dendritic cell: an antigen-presenting immune cell that initiates the immune response by activating lymphocytes and stimulating the secretion of cytokines. Dendritic cells also prevent autoimmune reactions by instructing the T lymphocytes to be silent or tolerant to the body itself.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid): nucleic acid that carries the cell's genetic information and is capable of self-replication and the synthesis of RNA.
DNA vaccine: vaccines that often use "naked" DNA (DNA not associated with a cell or a virus) with instructions for making protective antigens. When injected, the DNA is taken in by other cells, which then produce protective antigens.
E. coli: a bacterium that is used in public health as an indicator of fecal pollution (as of water or food) and in medicine and genetics as a research organism. E. coli occurs in various strains that may live as harmless inhabitants of the human lower intestine or may produce a toxin causing intestinal illness.
enzymes: complex proteins produced by living cells and that catalyze specific reactions from biochemicals.
epidemic: an outbreak of disease that simultaneously affects an atypically large number of individuals within a population, community, or region.
estrogen: a steroid hormone produced chiefly by the ovaries, responsible for promoting development and maintenance of female secondary sex characteristics. Estrogen may play a role in certain immune system diseases.
genetic engineering: deliberate alteration of genetic material by intervention in genetic processes.
granulocyte: a type of phagocyte with cytoplasm that contains grainlike particles.
highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART): a treatment to combat AIDS using several antiretroviral drugs at the same time.
histamine: a compound found in mammalian tissues that causes stretching of capillaries, contraction of smooth muscle, and stimulation of gastric acid secretions; released during allergic reactions.
immune deficiency diseases (IDDs): diseases that result when one or more parts of the immune system are missing or defective.
immunoglobulin E (IgE): a class of antibodies that function in allergic reactions.
immunosuppressive: describes a treatment that suppresses natural immune responses—for example, chemotherapy for cancer.
inactivated vaccines:vaccines made by growing and purifying large numbers of the target organism in the laboratory and then killing them with heat, radiation, or chemicals. The immune system reacts to the dead microorganisms, producing immunity.
inflammation: a buildup of fluid and cells that occurs as the immune system fights a hostile invader.
innate immune system: component of the immune system that consists of a set of genetically encoded responses to pathogens and does not change or adapt during the lifetime of the organism. Innate immunity involves quickly mobilized defenses triggered by receptors that recognize a broad spectrum of microbes; in contrast to adaptive immunity, it does not acquire memory for an improved response during a second exposure to infection.
killer T cell: a type of lymphocyte that directly attacks and kills infected cells or other targets, including tumor cells and even one's own tissues. Killer cells are generated by the coordinated action of dendritic cells and CD4+ helper T cells.
knockout: term used in genetic engineering when a specific gene is deliberately removed in order to create an organism unable to carry out the functions the gene codes for; knockouts are used by immunologists to determine the functions of specific genes that encode immune proteins.
latency: the state or period in which a virus has invaded a host but is not actively multiplying, and during which symptoms of the infection are not seen. "Microbial latency" means the microbe is not multiplying, as occurs in some cells in HIV infection, while "clinical latency" means that the patient does not have symptoms of disease even though the virus is multiplying and damaging the immune system. In HIV, clinical latency precedes the AIDS stage.
lymph nodes: small, rounded structures in the lymphatic system that contain disease-fighting white blood cells, especially lymphocytes, and filter out harmful microbes and toxins. Lymph nodes may become enlarged when they are actively fighting infection.
lymphocyte: a type of white blood cell involved in the human body's immune system, of which there are two broad categories, T cells and B cells. Lymphocytes are an integral part of the body's defenses because they are highly specific for antigens associated with microbes, tumor cells, transplants, allergies, and tissues attacked in autoimmune diseases. The immune system comprises clones of lymphocytes, each with a single specificity, and exposure to antigens leads to clonal expansion, the acquisition of helper and killer functions, and formation of immune memory.
lysozyme: an enzyme in saliva and tears that destroys bacteria.
macrophages: large phagocyte cells that remove harmful microbes from the body.
major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules: a group of molecules that help the immune system distinguish between harmful and safe foreign substances in the body. Recent research suggests some classes of MHC molecules also play an essential role in brain function.
mast cells: large cells, found in connective tissues, that mediate allergic reactions. Mast cells play an important protective role in wound healing and defend against pathogens.
memory B and T cells:B and T cells that remain in the body after the completion of an immune response to ward off future attacks by the same microbe. Memory is imparted by the increased size in the antigen-specific B or T cell clone, as well as improved function of individual cells within the clone.
microglia: specialized immune cells, related to macrophages, that protect the central nervous system.
molecular mimicry: an occurrence in many autoimmune disorders in which a microbe carries antigens that resemble those on a particular organ, causing the immune system to attack the body.
monoclonal antibodies: antibodies derived from a single cell and used against a specific antigen such as a cancer cell. Rituxan and Herceptin are monoclonal antibodies used in the treatment of lymphoma and breast cancer, respectively.
mutation: a process in which a microbe or organism undergoes a permanent change in hereditary material. When viruses or bacteria mutate they are no longer recognized by the immune system and become resistant to previously administered vaccines and drugs.
myelin: a white, fatty material that sheathes nerves and enhances the transmission of signals between the brain and the body. In multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disorder, immune cells attack myelin, affecting the transmission of nerve signals.
pandemic: an outbreak of disease occurring over a wide geographical area and affecting an exceptionally high proportion of the population.
passive immunity: immunity acquired by the transfer of antibodies (as by injection of serum from an individual with active immunity).
pathogen: a specific causative agent of disease, such as a bacterium or a virus.
penicillin: a mixture of nontoxic antibiotics produced by mold and used regularly to treat harmful bacteria.
phagocyte: a cell such as a white blood cell that engulfs and consumes foreign material, such as microorganisms.
plasma cell: an antibody-producing lymphocyte derived from a B cell upon reaction with a specific antigen.
protease: an enzyme that catalyzes the splitting of proteins into smaller molecules. To treat AIDS, scientists have designed drugs that interfere with protease made by the HIV virus, which is essential to its replication.
reassortment: the constant state of flux and rearrangement seen in the genes of viruses.
red blood cells: any of the hemoglobin-containing cells that carry oxygen to the tissues and are responsible for the red color of vertebrate blood..
regulatory T cells (Treg cells): special T cells that regulate or suppress immune responses, preventing autoimmunity for example.
replication: process by which an organism produces a copy of itself—for example, the way microbes reproduce.
respiratory syncytial virus (RSV): a virus that forms masses, or syncytia, in tissue culture and that is responsible for severe respiratory diseases.
retrovirus: a type of RNA virus (such as HIV ) that reproduces by transcribing itself into DNA (using reverse transcriptase). The resultant DNA inserts itself into a cell's DNA and is reproduced by the cell.
reverse transcriptase (RT): an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of DNA using RNA as a template.
RNA (ribonucleic acid): a group of molecules similar in structure to a single strand of DNA. The function of RNA is to carry the information from the DNA in the cell's nucleus into the body of the cell to assemble proteins.
rotavirus: a retrovirus with a double-layer protein shell and a wheel-like appearance. Rotaviruses cause diarrhea, especially in infants.
stem cell transplants: a kind of passive immune therapy that transfers cells instead of antibodies. Stem cells have the capacity to give rise to all elements of the immune system, such as many types of lymphocytes and phagocytes.
steroids: a large family of chemical substances, comprising many hormones, body constituents, and drugs; they are often immunosuppressive.
subunit vaccines:vaccines that contain only a part of the target microorganism.
synapses: specialized junctions at which cells of the nervous system signal to one another and to nonneuronal cells, such as those of muscles and glands.
T cell: a type of lymphocyte that possesses highly specific cell-surface antigen receptors; types include CD4+ helper T cells, regulatory T cells, and killer T cells.
tolerance: the capacity of the body to become less responsive to a substance or a physiological insult. Tolerance to components of the self prevents or suppresses autoimmunity.
toxoid vaccine: an inactivated and weakened version of the disease-causing toxin a microbe produces; it is still capable of inducing the formation of antibodies when injected.
transgenic technology: technology used to deliberately alter the genome of an organism by the transfer of a gene or genes from another species or breed.
two-photon microscopy: an imaging technique using high-powered laser microscopes to examine immune response in the nervous system.
vaccine: killed microorganisms, weakened living organisms, fully virulent living organisms, or subunit proteins of a microbe, administered to produce or artificially increase immunity to a particular disease.
vector vaccines: vaccines made by inserting protective antigen genes into harmless bacteria or viruses (vectors). As the vectors multiply in the body, they expose the immune system to protective antigens, stimulating active immunity against the harmful organism.
white blood cells: any of the blood cells that are colorless, lack hemoglobin, and contain a nucleus. They include the lymphocytes, dendritic cells, monocytes, neutrophils, eocinophils, and basophils; also called leukocytes.
