|Change meds for job?
Mar 2, 2007
I am 35, HIV+ since 1999, with CD4 350, VL undetectable, on Sustiva and Kivexa with no side effects. Am going for interview for flight attendant position. Do you think I should change meds for this type of job (which could have odd hours)? Would it be problematic to be taking Sustiva at a time that would be my normal bedtime but the middle of my shift as a flight attendant. And, do you think that an HIV+ person should even be doing a job like this? I know it's a physically demanding job with irregular hours. It is, however, my dream job and I don't want my disease to prevent me from achieving my goal. I feel healthy (fabulous actually), and the thought of working as a flight attendant makes me so happy, but, I don't want to jeapordize my health. What do you think? Also, do you think an employer would be able to determine my HIV status through a medical check even though it's illegal for them to actually do the test. Basically, is there another way they can test my health to make an educated guess that I am positive? Thanks, by the way, for all the great things you do here.
Response from Dr. Pierone
Kivexa is also known as Epzicom and is a combination of Ziagen (abacavir) and Epivir (lamivudine). Sustiva is normally taken at bedtime because it may cause a variety of neuro-cognitive side effects such as drowsiness, unsteadiness, and poor concentration. These side effects typically occur when Sustiva is first started, but generally improve or resolve with time. There is a great deal of variability in the rate and severity of this adverse event among people. Some people will continue to experience a "hang-over" effect of Sustiva in the morning after a nighttime dose, even after years of use. Others can take Sustiva in the morning, go to work, and not miss a beat.
So in your case the decision to switch really depends on how well you are tolerating the Sustiva. If you don't have these neuro-cognitive problems then it is a non-issue. Even if you do get them it doesn't mean you have to switch though. Flight attendants have to sleep on some sort of schedule so simply take the medications before your retiring.
There is no reason that you cannot pursue your goal and it will not jeopardize your health. I have taken care of HIV-infected patients who have worked as flight attendants as well as commercial pilots so the demands of a busy travel-related job are not out of reach by any means.
The laws protecting employees from workplace discrimination vary from country to country. But airlines do not, to my knowledge, test potential employees for HIV infection by direct or indirect methods.
Thanks for posting and best of luck!

Vinu Thomas has mentioned a project that is trying to port as many of the standard PHP functions over to Javascript as possible - PHP.JS.
PHP programmers usually have to handle HTML & Javascript front-end coding as well and I'm sure a lot of us have been frustrated with the lack of those easy to use PHP functions in Javascript like those array, encode/decode and string functions. Here's a Javascript project which provides you just that.
The project currently has over two hundred and thirty functions ported and put into a single, easy to download library (with three versions - normal, mini and packed). Then you're just a script tag away from including it and putting it to good use. You can find out more on the PHP.JS homepage.

F22H stainless-steel coalescing filter protects sensitive equipment by removing oil from compressed hydrocarbon gas or compressed air in corrosive environments, such as offshore oilrigs, refineries and chemical plants. Half-inch ported filter features a large convoluted filter element, creating a large surface area to deliver high flow with minimal pressure drop. The filter is equipped with a stainless steel manual drain. It is also available with an automatic drain that opens when a specified liquid level is attained.
It is constructed of 316 stainless steel and its metallic parts meet NACE Standard MR-01-75, resisting sulfide stress cracking and discoloration in well-head and other corrosive environments.
Its maintenance cycle is extended when used as part of three-stage filtration system. Two general purpose filters placed upstream remove water and particles of 25 µm and then 5 µm before they can contaminate coalescing oil removal element. Three-stage system comes with brackets for panel mounting to fit into a compact footprint. Both the stand-alone filter and three-stage system are available with a stainless steel and nylon service life indicator that shows when the filter element is contaminated.

Big shippers, including Imperial Oil Ltd, Exxon Mobil Corp, Suncor Energy Inc, Marathon Petroleum Corp and Phillips 66, have all filed motions with the regulator in protest
CALGARY — Enbridge Inc and its crude oil pipeline customers are battling over a plan by the company to try to cut the over-booking of capacity on the massive export network that has played a role in the deep discounting of Canadian crude prices.
The dispute is the latest symptom of an oil pipeline network running ever closer to capacity as production from the Canadian oil sands and North Dakota Bakken surges and expansion plans get bogged down by regulatory delays and environmental opposition.
Under the proposal, which is taking flak from some of the world's largest oil companies, Enbridge wants to shift how it calculates the amount of crude its shippers can nominate on the pipelines each month to a new system based on the capacities of refineries, which it would verify itself.
Since Enbridge's devastating oil spill in Michigan in the summer of 2010, which shut a major line between Indiana and Sarnia, Ontario, for several months, shippers have based nominations on the highest monthly volume they have moved to refining facilities in the U.S. Midwest and Ontario over the previous two years. That system was expected to be temporary.
According to documents filed with the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Enbridge's change is aimed at eliminating "air barrels" — industry slang for nominations above shippers' ability to move oil. It is a way of gaming the system so companies get as much crude as possible to refineries.
"It's just a more efficient use of space on the system. It's a better, more viable way to confirm nominated volumes. It allows the customers to nominate volumes that reflect their facility capacity," spokesman Graham White said.
Big shippers, including Imperial Oil Ltd, Exxon Mobil Corp, Suncor Energy Inc, Marathon Petroleum Corp and Phillips 66, have all filed motions with the regulator in protest, arguing that it would give the pipeline company too much discretion to allocate capacity without giving the shippers recourse.
Enbridge and its rivals have proposed billions of dollars worth of new pipelines to Canada's West Coast, Quebec and to Texas. Enbridge has also proposed expanding much of its system in the U.S. Midwest. But for now, the industry must deal with the existing pipeline network as production rises.
High nominations have forced Enbridge to institute apportionment, a system that results in all of the shippers having their bookings reduced on the two-million-barrel-per-day network. In November, the company added rare mid-month apportionment.
Traders cite apportionment as a major factor behind recent deep discounts on crudes such as Western Canada Select heavy blend and light synthetic, derived from the Alberta oil sands, saying supplies are backing up in Alberta.
This month, WCS heavy crude delivery sold at times for more than $30 a barrel under benchmark West Texas Intermediate, compared with around $15 under a month earlier.
Enbridge says its change would allow its roughly 70 shippers to more accurately match nominations to actual volumes, especially with some of the major U.S. Midwest refineries having undergone expansions. It said it filed to make the changes after several months working with a focus group.
Oil companies protesting the move do not want Enbridge interpreting refinery capacities, which can vary widely based on seasonal production and maintenance schedules.
It would give advantages to refineries that have recently expanded and those served by more than one pipeline, according to filings. In addition, shippers without their own refineries would have less power in the market, they said.
The proposal "also fails to explain how Enbridge, as common carrier pipeline company, is qualified to make sophisticated judgments regarding the 'capability' of individual refineries to receive crude oil," Suncor said in its motion.
"Enbridge does not explain how it is qualified to second-guess its refinery customers regarding their respective capability to receive crude oil."
Officials with the oil companies declined to comment beyond the filings.
BP Plc, which is in the midst of an expansion of its big Whiting, Indiana, refinery, said in its submission it is "generally supportive of Enbridge's proposal."
Enbridge and many of the shippers said they support the idea of a seven-month suspension in the process as a way to resolve issues.

Captain's Report
Capt. Steve Says...
You come to expect a high level of fit and finish on Doral Yachts and in the 295 Prestancia, I was not disappointed. Everywhere I looked Doral went a little further and made details that were as pleasing on the eyes as they were functional. I'll get into these details shortly, but first, this is a boat, so let's discuss how she performs on the water.
We tested the Doral 295 Prestancia on the Virginia ICW so rough water was not to be found, but you can tell a lot about a boat by how it handles wakes. Bow rise on a hole-shot was about 15-degrees so don't be shy about hitting the throttles and regaining your sightlines if you're not standing or sitting up on the bolster.
Trim is straightforward on the 295 Prestancia. You can use the spray coming from the sides of the helm as a judge of correct trim level. Add trim and that spray moves back to the quarters, the boat speeds up, and gets quieter. You'll also notice a change in the handling as it gets more responsive to the steering. When you put the 295 into a turn, she first rolls into the turn and then comes around. Once the turn is established, you'll need to turn back to stabilize/neutralize the turn because she is so responsive. The power steering is really effective and fingertips are all you need to crank and bank.
Close Quarters
The 295 Prestancia has a pivot point right at the helm. This is a good thing. When you crank the wheel and put the outboard engine in gear, the boat will pivot around your seat. Getting into the dock was a non event, even with a cross current. With the dock over to starboard, I steered hard to port and put the port engine in forward. This naturally moved the stern to starboard. Centering the helm and reversing the starboard engine pulled the bow to starboard and, with the stern's momentum continuing, the boat slid gently sideways right up to the dock. With a few minutes to get the timing right, you can lay her up nicely.
Helm Layout
You have to give Doral high marks for the helm layout on the 295 Prestancia. Tachs and speedo take up the center stage, with the ancillary engine gauges mounted off to the sides. Rocker switches underline the engine gauges and the whole panel is a combination of faux wood and brushed silver aluminum that brighten the panel without causing glare. A Raymarine A65 was right in the center of the panel. The compass is lined up in the center of the dash and the wood accented steering wheel was a nice compliment to the wood gauge panels.
Cockpit Layout
A roomy swim platform has teak decking and a center mounted boarding ladder. Grab rails are everywhere and there's ample storage. I didn't care for the entry door to the cockpit as a simple rod is all that holds it closed, and prevents accidental opening should you stumble into it. I'd rather see it open inward.
Even with side decks there is ample room in both the cockpit and cabin areas. This is a feature that others seem to avoid, but Doral manages to pull it off. Doral went with a bit of an interesting layout to the cockpit and it works quite well. Instead of the usual "C" or "U" shaped seating, Doral went to the middle of the alphabet, to an "L" that starts at the portside lounger and continues all the way aft and across the transom. Opposite is a smaller seat that makes a small conversation spot. The addition of a cozy cockpit table makes for a nice entertainment platform on the hook. A starboard side wetbar has a sink and icemaker. All seats have a raised lumbar supports that are remarkably comfortable and all upholstery is double stitched. The snap-in carpet has a faux teak look that adds to the boat's class.
Heading Forward
The windshield walkthrough to the bow was one of the smallest I've seen, but somehow Doral managed to make it work. It's not much wider than your foot, and for that matter it doesn't really need to be. The foredeck is enhanced by two chaise lounges that will block visibility from the helm so this may be a feature to enjoy only while at anchor. Grab rails run the length of the lounges. The bow rails are 24" (61 cm) high and tension adjustments are running the length of the middle half of the rails.
Below Decks
I think there'll be a love/hate relationship with the cabin entry door. It's a tinted plexi door that allows gobs of light to enter the cabin, but does not give much in the way of privacy. This will probably work if you don't spend nights onboard backed into a slip. If you really need to run around the salon naked, (ans who doesn't) then perhaps docking with the bow in might be the trick for you.
The amount of light that the entry door allows in pales in comparison to the 6 portlights, one overhead hatch, and twin 6' (1.83m) long side windows. You're just shy of needing sunglasses in this salon. The portlights all have a roll-up shade that seems to be unique to Doral as I've never seen this before. The portlights all open and accommodate bug screens to keep the no-see-um's at bay.
Forward Berth
Fully forward is a berth measuring 5'6" (1.68 m) x 7' (2.13 m), so sleeping athwartships would be the norm here. Storage shelves run the full length of both sides of this berth. Sitting on the edge of the bed will be no problem with 2'7" (.79 m) of headroom. The natural light of the salon continues to this berth with two portlights, the overhead hatch, and part of the long side windows. Privacy is achieved by sliding the curtains closed.
Salon and Mid Berth
The salon itself has headroom of 6'2" (1.88 m). To starboard is the galley featuring a sink, single burner electric stove, microwave, and a flat screen TV mounted on a swivel so it's viewable from the salon or forward berth. Abaft of the galley is a wet head with sink and the shower curtain pulls across the door. To port on the salon is a settee with a triangular table that I couldn't help but notice is finished to perfection. The mid cabin is likely the master as it gives more privacy and is roomier. The berth measures 6'4" (1.93 m) x 4'5" (1.35 m) across. Storage cabinets open from the top and are quite deep.
It was easy to be impressed with the Doral 295 Prestancia. Not only was this a good handling boat, but comfortable. I hate to overuse that word "comfortable" but Doral really nailed it. Just sitting in the seats tells you that they weren't just thrown together and, as with the rest of the boat, were designed around the human element. For you, all that's left is a test ride and Doral will be happy to accommodate.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Doral 295 Prestancia (2010-) is 47.0 mph (75.6 kph), burning 43.3 gallons per hour (gph) or 163.89 liters per hour (lph).

InBizCT needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 29 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
Crisp, progressive, perception-changing logo - suggesting success and sophistication - needed for new concept website for statewide business news, insight, and community. Established by veteran journalists, this site will serve the needs of influential business and government leaders across the state.
http://www.InBizCT.com, "Your source for statewide business intelligence"
The historic, northeastern U.S. state of Connecticut does not have a very good reputation as a place to do business ("old,cold, and expensive"). We want to changethat perception.
Connecticut'sbusiness community is very fragmented. There is no central place to get a picture of what's happening inbusiness communities across the state – so it is impossible to tell a completestory about our business environment. Wewant to tell that story.
We want our site to reflect the state's business assets:
- civic diversity (quaint towns, small cities,rural charm and sophistication), - cultural diversity (international communities,world-class universities),
- geographic diversity (beaches, farmland, rollinghills),
- excellent location (between New York and Boston)
- well-educated and highly-trained population(health-conscious and environmentally aware)
- ports and railroads
- high-tech manufacturing and establishedindustries See concept chart here: http://www.c4sb.com/InBizCTchart.pdf
We plan to do a contest for a site design after we havechosen a logo.
BTW, I held 2 contests a few years ago with Sitepoint. I don't know how to link back to them.
- Should be corporate, professional and alive. (Connecticut has verylittle national or international buzz.) This site should be visited bybusinesspeople from across the USand the world.
- Vector image, please.
You don't need to use the colors from my chart. They have no relevance to our concept. Just use your best creativity.

By ThinkGoat
Rushville, Illinois If there is such a thing as justice after 17 years, it was served yesterday for the family of Susan Bonser. There was a "stay" on information being confirmed for 24 hours due to the children of the confessed killer being notified. Jeff Kennedy testified in front of the Grand Jury yesterday morning…as far as I'm concerned, it's now been 24 hours.
I understand needing to speak to the growing list of Jeff's victims but Susan's family, they've waited long enough.
The official press release will be available today and when it becomes available, it will be posted on this site. Until then, Jeff Kennedy confirmed what a selfish prick he was yesterday as he took a plea deal and confessed to murdering Susan Bonser October 16, 1993. During the time Susan's family wondered if the murderer would be caught, worried they'd never know the real date she died, worried that everyone had put her murder on the back burner, Jeff was able to raise a family and, until recently, was gainfully employed.
While we're extremely pleased Susan's family has obtained a portion of the answers they've needed, we also want to extend a heart-felt message of condolence. I can only imagine the emotions yesterday's news brought to the surface.
16-Yr-Victim. Thank you for sharing Susan's story with us. And a personal thank you for the endless conversations we've had over the past several months. You've shown a sister's love can overcome obstacles.
Please feel free to comment on the resolution of this 17-year-old murder.

HOUSTON - His unbelievable crime shocked Sugar Land and the country nine years ago. Bart Whitaker, 23, orchestrated the brutal ambush murder of his entire family. Now, in his first Houston interview from death row, he talked about his eventual execution day.
"Obviously, everyone back here (on death row) has plenty of time to think about their lives," said Whitaker.
When Whitaker went to dinner with his family on Dec. 10, 2003, he knew in just minutes that his entire family would be walking into a bullet-filled nightmare. When they got back to their Sugar Land home, a masked shooter gunned down Bart Whitaker's brother, Kevin, his mom, Tricia, and wounded his father, Kent. Bart Whitaker was shot in the arm, but detectives soon figured out he'd orchestrated the murders because of hate.
Now on death row for the crime, Whitaker said he does not spend much time thinking about his execution day, but he's not ignoring it.
"I don't worry about it because I don't expect it to happen, I do expect it to happen," said Whitaker. "It's just not something I concern myself with on a daily basis. I'm comfortable with all of that."
What Whitaker said he's not comfortable with is the situation left for his father. Kent Whitaker has forgiven his son. He pleaded for jurors to spare Bart Whitaker's life. However, one day Kent Whitaker will likely see his only surviving son be put to death because of the heinous act of the crime.
"Yes, we've talked about it," Bart Whitaker said. "I'm not sure what the state of Texas thinks it's getting out of all of this. It's sort of like, I feel like I'm going to revictimize (sic) my father again. I don't know what to do about that. I understand there is a time when victims want an execution for closure, but this wasn't the case."
So far, there's no date set for Bart Whitaker's execution. His criminal case still has one final federal appeal pending.

Along with Bordeaux and Burgundy, Rhone Valley wines are some of the world's greatest red wines. But keep in mind that the Rhone Valley is really two distinct regions. The Northern Rhone produces powerful, aromatically complex and ageworthy red wines, generally in very limited quantities, from the noble Syrah grape. Traditionally, most Northern Rhone red wines have carried alcohol in the moderate 12% to 13% range, but warm growing seasons like 1997, 1999, and especially 2003, have yielded considerably richer, more powerful, and more alcoholic examples.
The Southern Rhone is a nearly bottomless source of somewhat more rustic and often even richer blends based on the high-alcohol Grenache grape, in a style that can only be described as more ""southern"" in flavor--that is, Rhone wines offering a richer mouth feel, a more roasted and sometimes liqueur-like fruit character, and notes of wild herbs and spices. Alcohol levels of 15% or higher are not uncommon in the ripest vintages. More than 90% of the Rhone Valley's total production comes from the South, and this area is one of the world's great sources of red wine value.
The Northern Rhone Valley also produces the apotheosis of Viognier, an exotically scented white variety that has been widely planted on several continents in recent years by growers hoping to capitalize on strong worldwide demand. Less exciting than Viognier are the other white wines from the Rhone Valley, most of which are blends based on Marsanne and Roussanne in the North, and Grenache Blanc and less distinguished indigenous varieties in the South. Most of these Rhone wines are characterized by notes of honey, earth, and minerals more than by real freshness of fruit; too often they show more texture and alcoholic warmth than flavor.

An armed man dressed in woman's clothing and a wig entered the Delphine Gallery, 8435 Germantown Ave. in Chestnut Hill at 5:15 p.m. on Thursday and robbed the store of $50,000 in jewelry.
Officer Christine O'Brien, a spokeswoman for the Philadelphia Police Department, said the man pointed a gray-colored gun at a female employee and ordered her to the ground. According to O'Brien, when the woman attempted to speak, O'Brien said he threatened to shoot her.
The employee described the robber as an African American male, 5'10, with a medium build, 25-30 years of age. At the time of the robbery, he was wearing a long dark navy blue dress and a shoulder-length braided wig. The robber wore a white silk mask over his face.
The suspect was last seen fleeing on foot northbound on Germantown Avenue and then eastbound on Highland Street.
Police believe he may have fled the scene with another male in a light green Ford Explorer.
O'Brien said the robber made off with $50,000 in jewelery.
Delphine Gallery doesn't have any surveillance cameras in the store. Police are hoping to obtain surveillance video from businesses in the neighborhood.

At an NHL game last week, Christina, an Ottawa Senator's fan, proposed to her girlfriend Alicia, a Toronto Maple Leaf's fan, on center ice during the second intermission and I for one couldn't be more disgusted. What has North America come to? Now we're allowing Sens fans to marry Leafs fans? What's next, a Dukie marrying a Tar Heel? Blasphemous.
It would seem that Alicia and Christina's love conquers all, including die hard sports teams allegiances, and I'm happy to report that Alicia said "yes." Canada legalized gay marriage back in 2004 and their sweet hockey rink engagement is a reminder of just how far behind some American states are when it comes to the love of love.

Wood Violins
A world-renowned electric violinist and Emmy-winning composer, Mark Wood is also a talented instrument designer and the founder of Wood Violins. Mark Wood has created three unique electric violin designs and that reek of rock 'n roll badness.
Viper -- The signature Mark Wood violin design, and the one Mark Wood himself plays on stage, is the flying-V shaped Viper. It is available in 4, 5, 6 or 7 strings, fretted or unfretted (6 and 7 strings come fretted by default), and in a wide variety of painted finishes or exotic wood tops!
Sabre -- Mark Wood's Sabre electric violin is a nod to the electric guitar with its asymmetrical double cutaway. It is available as a solid body instrument or in a semi-hollow version that is even lighter weight, known as the Sabre Katana
Stingray -- Lastly, Mark Wood created the Stingray SV-series (a lightweight Battle Ax design) to serve the student and entry-level market. Custom pro versions of the Stingray are also occasionally in stock or available by special order.
Mark Wood has also designed a line of acoustic-electric violins known as the Concert Series. These are available at two levels: the Standard, which aims to provide good amplified tone at a very affordable price, and the Deluxe, which offers finer materials and components and is available in 4 strings or 5.
With the exception of thier production line--the Stingray SVX4 and Stingray SVX5--all of the instruments offered by Wood Violins are custom-built and hand-made right here in America by a team of master artisans. Each American-made instrument comes with a Certificate of Authenticity personally signed by Mark Wood.

Inadequate meat content, byproducts, all ingredients of unidentifiable origin, low quality throughout
This product is comprised primarily of unidentified cereals, likely to be byproducts (think floorsweepings) of human food production. None of these are identified by type and may vary. The major ingredient in the food is thus very low quality. Even if decent quality grain had been used, we would still note that grains are an unnatural foodstuff for canines and very low quality compared to meat (on which dog food products actually should be based).
The meat content of this food is byproducts. There is no identification of species, and this low quality ingredient could be anything. It is impossible to ascertain the quality of by-products and these are usually products that are of such low quality as to be rejected for use in the human food chain, or else are those parts that have so little value that they cannot be used elsewhere in either the human or pet food industries. Meat byproducts are defined as "clean parts, other than meat, derived from slaughtered mammals. It includes, but is not limited to, lungs, spleen, kidneys, brain, livers, blood, bone, partially defatted low-temperature fatty tissue and stomachs and intestines freed of their contents. It does not include hair, horns, teeth and hooves". Note that this definition excludes actual meat.
We note the presence of fish (byproducts) but find no sign of a guarantee on the manufacturer's site that they use only ethoxyquin-free protein sources in the product (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative, commonly added to fish ingredients and which is banned or heavily regulated in human food production due to the belief that it is carcinogenic).
Consistent with the above, the fat content of the food is undisclosed and could be anything. We shudder. Further byproducts include reject vegetable matter, which does nothing to reduce our horror at the idea of feeding this to a canine.
No information is given about the added vitamins and minerals, which may include synthetics. Likewise, no information is given about the preservatives (antioxidants) used in this product, and it may contain chemicals such as ethoxyquin, BHA and BHT all of which are allowed in pet foods, but are banned or heavily regulated in human food due to the belief that they are carcinogenic.

An Integrated Approach to Buffer Dilution and Storage
Genentech engineers illustrate an advanced, integrated approach to inline dilution of buffer concentrates and the use of disposable bioprocess bags for buffer storage.
Editor's Note: Please click here for this team's description of the use of guided wave radar (GWR) for non-invasive volume measurement in disposable bioprocess bags.
Most processing solutions in bioprocess manufacturing are very dilute. Consequently, these solutions can be prepared and stored as concentrates, thereby significantly reducing storage volume requirements. The concentrated solutions can then be accurately diluted, inline, with water and sent directly to processing steps such as chromatography or tangential flow filtration.
This strategy, inline dilution, has great potential to reduce capital expenditure of a biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility by minimizing the size and number of preparation and storage vessels. In addition, a reduction of processing solution volume allows greater implementation of single-use bioprocess bags in place of traditional stainless steel or higher alloy tanks, further reducing capital expenses. The use of disposables also eliminates the need for cleaning and steaming in between runs, while disposable bags are corrosion-resistant to chloride-containing buffers.
A bag volume limitation of approximately 2,500 L has been a hurdle for implementing buffer storage bags in very large-scale biologics manufacturing facilities1. However, using buffers concentrated by factors of 10x and greater, we have been able to extend the use of bioprocess bags to even our largest antibody manufacturing facilities.
This manuscript will discuss how Genentech developed and tested inline dilution technology for implementation in a new large-scale antibody manufacturing facility. We will also discuss the integration of disposable bag technology to the inline dilution systems. The combination of these two technologies has resulted in significant capital reduction and some operating cost advantage by using bags instead of tanks.
The Challenge
The biotechnology industry has matured quickly and the demand for biological therapeutics, particularly antibodies, has increased markedly over the past 10 years. In response to the higher production demands, biopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities have been challenged to increase protein expression titers and/or increase bioreactor production volumes. Batches exceeding 100 kg of protein are becoming more common as annual demand for antibody biologics can approach several metric tons.
As protein batch sizes increase, downstream processing buffer equipment sizes must also increase. Simply scaling up equipment size, particularly buffer preparation and storage tanks, can significantly impact capital expenditure for a new facility. Genentech was recently faced with this challenge during the construction of a new 25,000-liter bioreactor-scale antibody manufacturing facility. This led us to develop, test, and implement inline dilution systems for chromatography operations in the antibody purification train, thus reducing the size of many buffer preparation and storage vessels. We conservatively targeted buffer concentration factors up to 10x, which allowed us to reduce the size of many vessels to ≤ 2500 L and thereby use disposable bioprocess bags instead of stainless steel or higher alloy tanks.
Inline dilution is relatively simple in concept: it is the simultaneous mixing of a concentrated solution and water (or some other diluent) inside a processing line to produce a normal strength, process-ready solution. Inline dilution applications in the biopharmaceutical industry present unique challenges because the processing solutions, such as chemical buffers, often must fall within very tight specification ranges for pH, conductivity, osmolality, and temperature, which can be critical process parameters. This requires that a precise mixture of the concentrated solution and water be delivered with minimal deviation over time. Also, the solution must be well mixed prior to delivery onto a chromatography column or tangential flow filtration (TFF) system. Failure to meet precise targets could adversely impact process performance, and/or process parameters could fall outside of the validated ranges, causing a batch deviation.
Buffer Solubility Studies
Our main target application for inline dilution was chromatography buffers, so we first sought to determine the solubility limits of 30 unique processing buffer solutions. Knowledge of these limits provided our first glimpse of the potential for tank size reduction and capital savings in our future facility.
The solubility experiments were performed as follows (the results are shown in Table 1):
- The chemicals for each specific buffer were carefully weighed and added to a 250-mL glass beaker with stir bar. A precise volume of water was added to the beaker and aggressively mixed with a stir bar at room temperature (approximately 19°C) for 30 minutes. Visual observations were made to determine if the chemicals had fully dissolved.
- If not fully dissolved, additional water was added after each 30-minute increment. This process was repeated until the chemicals fully dissolved. The solubility limit was noted.
- On this first-pass study, we wanted to gather a limited set of solution physical properties such as density and viscosity to see if any particularly difficult solutions would be encountered. Temperature was measured with a VWR digital thermometer (± 1°C accuracy) and pH was measured with a benchtop pH meter. Density was measured at room temperature by weighing a 1.0-mL sample taken by a calibrated pipette and weighed on a calibrated Mettler Toledo scale. Viscosity was measured at room temperature using a Cannon-Fenske viscometer.
The results of the solubility studies were very encouraging and theoretically proved that we could reduce buffer preparation and buffer hold tank size substantially in a number of chromatography steps (Table 1). Since this study only addressed solubility limits, we had other potential challenges to address such as the filterability characteristics of the buffer concentrates and stability over time. Plus, we had to determine new pH and conductivity specifications for the preparation of concentrated buffers. These are time consuming but essential lab studies to complete. Ultimately, we decided to limit the concentration factor of chromatography buffers in our new facility to 10x, which is conservative for most of the buffers used. However, reducing tank size 10x would significantly reduce capital expenses and would still provide flexibility to concentrate further if additional capacity was needed in the future.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Major League Baseball likely faces an uphill battle if it hopes to win a lawsuit it filed last week against the owner of a Florida clinic that allegedly provided banned performance-enhancing drugs to the league's players.
If, however, MLB's suit against BioGenesis, an anti-aging clinic, survives a motion to dismiss, league lawyers could use the legal discovery process to access clinic records it so far has failed to secure, giving baseball officials evidence they might use to pursue disciplinary actions against players.
"I doubt Major League Baseball cares much about getting damages from these people," said Nathaniel Grow, a University of Georgia sports law professor, echoing the view of other tort and sports law experts. "It's about getting to the discovery phase."
The lawsuit, filed on Friday in Florida state court, cited articles by a newspaper, the Miami New Times, that reported BioGenesis and its owner, Anthony Bosch, had given half a dozen players illicit performance-enhancing substances.
The case appears to be the first time a sports league has sued a business for allegedly providing players with drugs.
It does not name any of the players identified in the news reports as defendants. Among those players are New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez and Washington Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez, both of whom, in response to the published reports, denied using the drugs.
MLB spokesman Pat Courtney said in a statement, "We believe we have a legitimate legal claim against the defendants and we intend to pursue it vigorously."
Asked in an email whether the suit might be aimed at using discovery to access documents from BioGenesis that would show what players did, the spokesman replied: "We believe in the merits of this case." He would not elaborate.
Susy Ribero-Ayala, who has been identified in news reports as Bosch's lawyer, did not return a request for comment on Sunday. The defendants - two companies and six individuals - have yet to file a response to the lawsuit in court.
The lawsuit's sole cause of action is tortious interference with a contract, claiming that BioGenesis "induced" players to violate MLB's drug prevention program, which bars players from using certain banned substances.
Typically, tortious interference is used to go after business competitors - for example, companies that may have stolen away employees under contract. But winning such cases is difficult even under normal circumstances, in part because judges are wary of companies using such lawsuits to bully rivals who are simply engaging in competitive business practices.
"This kind of tort is one that courts are uncomfortable with," said Geoffrey Rapp, a University of Toledo professor who specializes in torts and sports law.
Baseball's theory, moreover, depends on convincing a judge that the league's drug program barring the use of performance-enhancing substances (PES) constitutes a contract with the players and that BioGenesis explicitly wanted them to breach that contract.
"By soliciting major league players to purchase or obtain PES and/or by selling, supplying and/or otherwise making available PES to major league players, defendants intentionally and unjustifiably interfered with MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment program," the lawsuit asserts.
That could prove a tough sell, since BioGenesis' actions likely were motivated by profits, not by a specific desire to break the contract, law experts said.
Roger Abrams, a sports law professor at Northeastern University in Boston, used the example of player contracts that call for the player to hit specific weight targets in spring training.
"Does that mean you can sue McDonald's for selling Big Macs to this guy?" he said.
MLB could further find it difficult to quantify the economic harm it allegedly suffered as a result of BioGenesis' actions.
The lawsuit claimed baseball has suffered damages "based on cost of investigation, loss of goodwill, loss of revenue and profits and injury to its reputation, image, strategic advantage and fan relationships."
Winning the lawsuit outright, however, may not be the point, especially since BioGenesis is already out of business and likely has few assets. Instead, baseball may be trying to get around the challenges it faces going after players who have not failed a doping test.
The lawsuit could put players and suppliers on notice that they could face potential disciplinary and civil penalties even in the absence of a positive test.
Without subpoena power, baseball investigators have been stymied in their efforts to get the documents cited by the Miami New Times. If the lawsuit proceeds to trial, baseball's lawyers would have the right to demand copies of BioGenesis' records and conduct depositions of the defendants, which could then provide the basis for suspensions for any players involved.
MLB also may have sued as a public relations move to send a signal to its fans that it will aggressively fight the use of banned substances.
Other sports officials will likely watch the outcome of the case closely.
"It's definitely novel," Grow said. "It'll be interesting to see if this is something other leagues might do in the future."
In a statement released by his publicist in January, Rodriguez, of the Yankees, said: "The news reports about a purported relationship between Alex Rodriguez and Anthony Bosch are not true. Alex Rodriguez was not Mr. Bosch's patient, he was never treated by him and he was never advised by him."
Also in January, Gonzalez denied the allegations against him on his Twitter account. "I've never used performance enhancing drugs of any kind and I never will, I've never met or spoken with Tony Bosch or used any substance," he tweeted at the time.

David Moyes tells press: Wayne Rooney staying at Manchester United
Wayne Rooney is "not for sale" and will remain a Manchester United player, according to David Moyes.
Last Updated: 05/07/13 5:35pm
The new United manager faced the media at his first press conference since replacing Sir Alex Ferguson and immediately sought to put an end to speculation linking Rooney with a summer move.
The England striker's future was thrown into doubt towards the end of last season when Sir Alex Ferguson claimed he had requested a transfer for the second time in three years.
But United have consistently said they will not sell, and Moyes could not have been clearer as he fielded questions on Rooney in Old Trafford's Europa Suite.
He said: "Wayne Rooney is not for sale. He's a Manchester United player and will remain a Manchester United player.
"I've had several meetings with Wayne, he's training brilliantly well, he's come back in good shape and I really look forward to working with him."
Pressed on whether Rooney has made it clear he now wants to stay at Old Trafford, Moyes would not answer the question directly.
Instead, he said: "We've spoken several times and I'm saying: 'whatever happened before is gone Wayne, we're working together now.
"And I see a glint in his eye now. He looks happy, as if he is saying 'I'm going to knuckle down and get myself right'. I can only say I've been impressed with how he's done."
Asked again whether Rooney had "categorically" committed himself to staying, Moyes said: "I can tell you categorically Wayne Rooney is training fantastically well."
Rooney's unease last season reportedly stemmed from being asked to play out of position following Robin van Persie's arrival.
But Moyes left no one in doubt he wants the 27-year-old - currently fourth in United's all-time list of goalscorers - back among the goals, challenging him to score the 53 which would see him surpass Sir Bobby Charlton's club record of 249.
He said: "We're looking to see how we can get Wayne Rooney the goals to challenge the likes of Bobby Charlton and Denis Law.
"Not only that, this country's got a World Cup to play in next year, hopefully. For everybody's benefit we're trying to get him in a state where everybody thinks 'he's much more like the Wayne Rooney we know'. I'm looking forward to making that happen."
While Rooney had been linked with a move away from United, speculation has suggested that Cristiano Ronaldo could be set to return to Old Trafford from Real Madrid.
Asked about Ronaldo, Moyes declined to speak directly about the Portuguese superstar.
He said: "This club always interested in the best players."

Stopping Shabazz: Florida's Wilbekin, an All-SEC defender, is up to the task
Arlington, Texas - Florida's Scottie Wilbekin loves a defensive challenge.
"I always like guarding guys that are challenging to guard," Wilbekin said during Thursday's press conference at AT&T Stadium.
He'll get another shot at guarding All-American Shabazz Napier on Saturday night when the Florida men's basketball team plays UConn in the national semifinals.
In the first meeting between the teams, Wilbekin and Florida failed to stop Napier, who scored a game-high 26 points and hit a buzzer-beating, game winning shot in UConn's 65-64 win on Dec. 2 in Storrs.
Wilbekin, a 6-foot-2 senior guard, watched the final three minutes from the bench, scoring 15 points before leaving the game with an ankle injury. Napier took advantage, dominating down the stretch.
The top-ranked Gators (36-2) haven't lost since that game, winning 30 in a row.
Wilbekin earned Southeastern Conference Player of the Year honors. He also was named the South Region's Most Outstanding Player, averaging 16.8 points in four games.
Florida earned a rematch with UConn by beating Dayton 62-52 in the Elite Eight on Saturday.
"As far as getting another crack at them, it's really not about that because I'm just happy to be here with an opportunity to advance," Wilbekin said. "They're a great team. They've obviously played great up until this point, so it's going to be a tough game for both of us."
Wilbekin is considered a tenacious defender, making the All-SEC Defensive Team along with teammate Patric Young. Still, he may need some help in defending Napier, who is averaging 23.3 points per game in the tournament.
"Kevin (Ollie) really puts him in some very, very unique situations that he can do the things that he does," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "He can beat you with drives, he can beat you with shots, he can beat you from behind the line and he can beat you passing the ball."
Napier was named to the Consensus All-America first team on Thursday, joining Arizona's Nick Johnson, Creighton's Doug McDermott, Duke's Jabari Parker and Louisville's Russ Smith. The consensus All-America team is chosen from a combination of the Associated Press, USBWA, NABC and Sporting News All-America teams.
With his selection, Napier automatically qualifies for the school's Huskies of Honor.
Heart-warming news
UConn coach Kevin Ollie received some heart-warming news Wednesday, learning that his mother Dorothy was cleared to fly to Texas and attend the Final Four.
Dorothy, who has a home in Plano, Texas, has been living with her son's family in Connecticut while receiving chemotherapy for stage two breast cancer. She had surgery at the UConn Health Center on March 24.
Dorothy, along with Ollie's wife Stephanie, were scheduled to arrive here on Thursday.
"That was great news," Ollie said. "My wife has done a beautiful job taking care of her and being there and I was able to continue to do my job. … It's going to be great to see her here.
"She wanted to come down to Madison Square Garden (last weekend), but I was, like, no, save your energy for the Final Four."
Ollie was born in Dallas and moved to Los Angeles with his mother when he was five years old but spent some summers in Texas with his father.
Jerry's World
AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys, is a massive, state-of-the-art arena. It is referred to as Jerry's World, after team owner Jerry Jones.
The 80,000 seat stadium opened in 2009 and cost $1.3 billion to build. It hosted the South Regional semifinals and finals last season when Florida beat Florida Gulf Coast and then lost to Michigan.
UConn practiced here for the first time on Thursday morning, going 90 minutes. All four teams, including Kentucky and Wisconsin, will hold an open workout today and a shoot-around on game day.
The Final Four coaches are happy that the NCAA decided to give teams an extra day to work out in the unfamiliar surroundings.
"I really appreciate the giving us this opportunity," Ollie said. "Back in 2011 down in Houston, we didn't have a 90-minute practice. … So this really allows our players to see the ball going in. We always want to see that."
News and notes
Ollie had a couple of contract bonuses kick in with UConn advancing to the Final Four, earning about $100,000 for the postseason run. … All four teams attended the annual NCAA Salute Dinner on Thursday night.

In this insightful documentary, filmmaker Sonali Gulati explores complex issues of globalization, capitalism and identity through a witty and personal account of her journey into India�s call centers. Gulati, herself an Indian immigrant living in the US, explores the fascinating ramifications of outsourcing telephone service jobs to India�including how native telemarketers take on Western names and accents to take calls from the US, UK and Australia.
A fresh juxtaposition of animation, archival footage, live action shots and narrative work highlight the filmmaker�s presence and reveal the performative aspects of her subjects. With fascinating observations on how call centers affect the Indian culture and economy, NALINI BY DAY, NANCY BY NIGHT raises important questions about the complicated consequences of globalization.

Margaret Mead Film and Video Festival
�Timely and telling.�
Black Maria Film Festival
�Unfold[s] with wit and humor on a subject of global importance that will keep you laughing all the way home and thinking thereafter. Definitely a documentary worth watching.�
Maya Kulkarni
South Asian Women's NETwork
"This energetic, humorous documentary on India�s call-centre culture skillfully educates the viewer on the resolute connection between class, Anglo-American colonial history, globalisation, and the clash between national and regional cultures..An invaluable teaching tool."
Shefali Chandra
University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign
"A welcome addition to the cinema of globalization...explores with care and insight, the rigorous and fascinating training that hopeful call center operators in India pursue...a charming and revealing look at a cultural phenomenon we hear about but rarely see."
Tom Zaniello
Northern Kentucky University, author of "The Cinema of Globalization" (2007).
�A wonderful film�draws on personal history and economic theory to reveal the complex and surprising trajectories of globalization. Filmmaker Sonali Gulati hangs up on annoying solicitation calls, until she encounters a voice that properly pronounces her name. Her curiosity aroused, she traces the call to New Delhi, India, where day and night have been inverted to accommodate the pull of American consumer culture.�

Beauty Salon Furniture
In the making of a successful salon, beauty salon equipment is simply a necessity. While there are many things that make a reputable salon like good service and competitive rates, the importance of having beauty salon equipment to cater to different clients cannot be understated. The quantity of the equipment you get will be dependent on the size of the salon that you have in mind. Also, there are different kinds of equipment, depending on the nature of the salon. An all inclusive one has a spa as well, and this only means the equipment is needed.
When shopping for beauty salon equipment, make sure you give priority to the equipment that a salon cannot do without, like dryers and steamers, beauty beds, styling chairs, styling stations and so on. These are the equipments that start you off, before you begin buying more specific ones like facial machines and waxing equipment, which you can get if your salon is inclusive of a spa.
Beauty salon equipment may include barber equipment, as it is not unusual to find a salon that serves both genders. Said beauty equipment is not needed in abundance when compared to what a hairdresser or generally a salon needs, so the overall expense might not be too great.
