As drug makers face an increasingly competitive landscape and development costs continue to rise, biopharmaceutical firms big and small are seeking every advantage to maximize the value of their R&D efforts. As a result, many companies have flocked to Asia-Pacific for better access to patients, lower costs, and operational efficiencies.
Beyond meeting the needs of global pharma in simply providing access to patient pools and lower operational costs, the region is also poised to realize the potential of a thriving biotechnology sector that is driving innovation on its own. From China to India, Singapore to Malaysia, to Sri Lanka and beyond, Asia is gaining the experience and infrastructure needed to support the global biotech industry by performing work and fostering innovation that moves higher and higher up the pharmaceutical value chain.
To be sure, Asia as a whole has yet to develop a completely outsourced drug discovery program that has progressed from inception to drug candidate, and such an event may well remain a few years or more away. Whether the opportunity for increased innovation will realize its full potential depends, in large part, on how well the region manages a host of challenges and hurdles standing in the way.
While a range of different dynamics that could ultimately change the drug development paradigm in the region and beyond are in play, to truly elevate Asia to a global innovation partner requires several key factors to become aligned. Among these, three threads stand out:
During the past few years these trends, which are already in motion, have accelerated. Investment dollars from academic centers and private firms are flowing to the region, attracted by an influx of new talent in the industry. Governments in the region are also continuing to invest significantly on the research side.
The Korean government, for example, is an active participant in the Korean National Enterprise for Clinical Trials (KoNECT), a public/private effort to advance the country's infrastructure for conducting clinical trials. In Taiwan the proposed "Diamond Action Plan for Biotechnology Takeoff" will infuse NT$5 billion (around $155 million) into Taiwan's biotechnology industry through the National Development Fund, venture capital sources, and other private investors. In addition to funding, the plan also includes resources for advancing preclinical drug development capabilities and establishing a network of biotech incubation centers.
For their part, biopharma companies big and small are investing or redirecting significant investment dollars from already existing R&D centers in the U.S. or Europe to new, emerging centers in Asia. This movement represents a potentially significant opportunity to jump-start innovation.
As the biopharmaceutical industry struggles with huge fixed costs and a sometimes inflexible business model, smaller and more nimble companies throughout the region are touting the benefits of virtualization in fostering development innovation. A virtual development model offers the opportunity to outsource operational tasks and infrastructure resources, a process by which Asia has proven a reliable and cost-effective partner in the past.
However, today Asian firms are growing the kind of capacity necessary to support a wider range of development needs, from analytical and bioanalytical chemistry to toxicology, clinical development, and regulatory affairs.
As a result Asian providers are taking advantage of new approaches to the development process. They are drawing on the expertise of a wider pool of talent and ideas to bring new targets to market more effectively—without the weight of legacy infrastructure burdens or outdated intellectual pathways. Whether it's in discovery, clinical trials, commercialization, end licensing, or elsewhere, the opportunity exists for virtual development programs to create a region of true innovation and quite possibly help deliver next-generation therapies. Going forward the question becomes whether the industry can fully embrace virtualization as a development paradigm and leverage the growing capacity Asia already offers.
As Western companies begin to feel more confident about outsourcing discovery research projects to Asia—a vital step in creating the critical mass necessary to foster innovation—harmonization of government regulatory schemes becomes more and more a critical issue.
Some countries in the region, such as India, may fare better than China or those in Eastern Europe in terms of a regulatory environment. Other governments have placed regulatory reform high on their agendas. Yet, the situation is hardly uniform across the region. A more uniform, pan-Asian approach to regulation could help encourage a range of biopharma companies to chase development innovation without having to worry about regulatory risk in each new territory.
Asia's rise as a potential development powerhouse further offers the opportunity to approach existing regulatory entities from a new perspective. One such example is New Drug Development Paradigms (NEWDIGS), an international consortium working to optimize biopharmaceutical R&D. Currently being field tested in Singapore and sponsored in part by Quintiles, NEWDIGS is focused on demonstrating the practicality and effectiveness of an alternative approach termed "progressive authorization."
In place of the current high-cost, high-risk process based on randomized controlled trials and basic pharmacology, progressive authorization aims to ensure a more accurate benefit/risk profile, reduce late-stage attrition of compounds, and significantly minimize product withdrawals after market authorization. It enables a new product to enter the market with structured coverage progressively while further real-world evidence is still being obtained.
For Asia-Pacific to adopt the mantle of true leadership in the global biopharma industry, these factors and more must be addressed before the region can meet its promise as an incubator for drug innovation and discovery. In addition, the region would clearly benefit from fostering an increased spirit of collaboration among industry, academia, and regulatory authorities. And perhaps most important, all stakeholders throughout the region must embrace the transition and be ready to align the region's growing market power with ever-increasing internal and external demands.
Nevertheless, even as these and other factors continue their uneven march toward fruition, one outcome is certain: As the center of gravity for the industry shifts from developed to developing geographies, the balance of pharmaceutical investment and innovation will also shift toward a future where high-end drug discovery in Asia-Pacific will play an increasingly significant role.

DETROIT – Anibal Sanchez's no-hit bid lasted just three batters this time.
The Detroit Tigers right-hander gave up nine hits through six innings Thursday night as the Boston Red Sox built a four-run lead in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series at Comerica Park.
The Tigers broke through a run in the bottom of the fifth on Miguel Cabrera's two-out RBI single off Jon Lester and scored again in the sixth and seventh to make it 4-3, but the Red Sox held on for the win.
BOX SCORE: Red Sox 4, Tigers 3
WATCH: Red Sox, Tigers collide at the plate
Sanchez did not allow a hit in Game 1 last Saturday while pitching six innings. However, manager Jim Leyland lifted Sanchez after he struck out 12, walked six and threw 116 pitches.
Dustin Pedroia singled with two outs in the first inning for the Red Sox's first hit Thursday then Boston scored three runs in the second to break a scoreless tie.
Mike Napoli led off with a home run deep to the second level of shrubbery in center field. David Ross hit an RBI double and Jacoby Ellsbury singled home a run.
Napoli, who had doubled, scored on a Sanchez wild pitch in the third inning to make it 4-0. Napoli had hits in each of his first three plate appearances.
Tigers starters allowed just three runs in 27 innings in the first four games of the series.
Tigers catcher Alex Avila was removed for Brayan Pena in the fourth inning because of a patella tendon strain in his left knee. Avila held on the to the ball for the out in the second inning when Ross collided with him while trying to score from third base on Shane Victorino's grounder to second.

With a cast that features a High School Musical alum and two Dancing with the Stars veterans, it was only a matter of time before Switched at Birth did a dance-themed episode.
On Monday's installment (8/7c, ABC Family), dance scenes fill every act as Daphne (Katie LeClerc) and Bay (Vanessa Marano) both wonder about their futures. From Lea Thompson's Broadway act and Gilles Marini and Marlee Matlin's Waltz to LeClerc's salsa dance with RJ Mitte and David Casteneda, almost every style is covered.Switched at Birth Star: Daphne can find something to love in both Campbell and Jorge
"[My] dance is especially fun because of the love triangle," LeClerc recently told us. "I'm a pretty good dancer, I learn choreography pretty easily, and I took tap in college. But Vanessa Marano is the most adorable thing in the world -- she has no rhythm!"

1176: Those Not Present
|Those Not Present
Title text: 'Yeah, that squid's a total asshole.' [scoot scoot]
[edit] Explanation
Cueball doesn't want to hang out with people who badmouth others who aren't present. He leaves this conversation and gets into one about giant squids (a topic peculiar enough for Megan and Beret Guy). Although this topic may even be considered childish or socially awkward[citation needed], this is still better than the social group that he was in.
The title text hints that the second conversational group isn't any nicer, by badmouthing the giant squid, who obviously, is not present. This would eventually cause a loop where Cueball goes back and forth between the two groups.
[edit] Trivia
In the first panel originally the word "friends" was misspelled as "frends".
[edit] Transcript
- Every time someone says something negative about a person who's not in the room, I scoot my chair back a few inches.
- [Cueball, Ponytail and two other people are sitting at a table drinking.]
- Person: He's not so bad, but his friends...
- [Cueball scoots away from table.]
- Scoot scoot
- Ponytail: His band is never gonna take off if...
- [Cueball scoots further away.]
- Scoot scoot
- [Megan, Beret Guy, and Harry come into view.]
- Off-screen: Yeah, his sister is even weirder.
- Off-screen: Did you see she had...
- Scoot scoot
- Beret Guy: ...and there's a video, but it's blurry...
- [Cueball turns around and leans his arm on his chair.]
- Cueball: What're you talking about?
- Hairy: Giant squid!
- Cueball: Mind if I join you?

Seems pretty straight forward. The more a group talks badly of a person who's not present, a bad habit, the less Munroe wants to be associated with it. Therefore, he slowly scoots away, until he eventually reaches an other group, who, hopefully, won't have said bad habit. 188.8.131.52 05:28, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think there's much more to say about this one. Alpha (talk) 06:39, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- There's much more to say about it, actually. The comic is pointing out that it is the nature of groups to talk about those not present. The scooting from one to another (doing the same thing, even when the subject is something like squid), is to show that there's no escape from gossip.22.214.171.124 15:56, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
One can make assuptions about the age of those in the first group because of the shape of the beverage vessels. A wine or champagne glass might be used for it's name sake. Suggesting that they are older than the legal drinking age. Though the conversation seems like one expected in high school or college. -- 220.127.116.11 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~) Is this actually this simple or are we missing something? Maybe it's just a bit crappy? 126.96.36.199 14:03, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- I was actually expecting it to proceed to some sort of equilibrium situation where the various groups slowly force him into some stationary position at a distance from each group relative to their various levels of behind the back talking.Schmammel (talk) 15:22, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- I was expecting the same thing--Dangerkeith3000 (talk) 16:08, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- I was expecting the first group will start talking about him, when he's away. 220.127.116.11 23:31, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- They will. But that doesn't affect him, because he doesn't want to be associated with them anyway. It might be the reason why he doesn't want to associate with them. As the conventional warning against indulging in gossip goes: "Be wary of people that say things about others behind their backs, because they might do the same about you." Of course, the real reason we ought not to engage in gossip is beyond niceties. Contrary to what most people believe, it isn't about with-holding all criticism. It's about fair representation, and accurate communication. However, given umwelt, it's not like everyone will have the same viewpoint anyway. Still, understanding that and being non-judgmental involves no slagging-people-behind-their-back, or consigning them to inferiority or incapability. Even if you do it to their faces 220.127.116.11 12:19, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
- I was expecting the first group will start talking about him, when he's away. 184.108.40.206 23:31, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- I was expecting the same thing--Dangerkeith3000 (talk) 16:08, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Is that person actually called Harry? 220.127.116.11 16:23, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- Nope, it was made up in 1028: Communication to describe generic male characters with hair. Alpha (talk) 20:51, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Technically, by scooting away, they are free to talk badly about him, as he is no longer present. 22.214.171.124 02:15, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
- What can we learn from this?
I've learned that talk shows don't work, unless they allow the person they are talking about to represent their point of view. If you see someone doing this on purpose, switch the channel as you are not missing much. - e-inspired 220.127.116.11 19:11, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
- A dissenting view
Evidently Randall is not familiar with the concept of "Minnesota Nice". Criticizing people in their presence leads to acromony; not criticizing them at all is a good way to make yourself burst from repression. Trash-talking people while safely outside their presence is a perfectly reasonable pressure-release valve; the only sin is indiscretion, and the only crime is allowing the "victim" to learn that they were "attacked". 126.96.36.199 19:32, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Today, Verb announced closure of $2.3 million in Series Seed funding, which is one of the largest rounds ever for an Austin-based social enterprise. Verb connects large corporations and foundations to thousands of social entrepreneurs around the world through competitions and a proprietary technology platform. With a focus on solving "wicked" problems, Verb partners exclusively with clients who want to run competitions tackling social and environmental issues.
Suzi Sosa and Tom Meredith co-founded Verb in 2013 after running a seven-year competition at the University of Texas called the Dell Social Innovation Challenge. Over the years, Verb has replicated the model with clients such as IBM and LIVESTRONG. The 2013 LIVESTRONG Big C competition was hailed by Forbes as "the first time that such a competition has been attempted in healthcare."
In addition, Verb recently announced a multiyear partnership with the Everglades Foundation to run their $10 million science prize.
"Verb has huge market potential," said Tom Meredith, Verb's Co-founder and lead investor. "Verb helps organizations to source creative ideas as well as top talent to address the problems and opportunities that interest them most. Verb's platform and ecosystem provide entrepreneurs and organizations with the means to replicate and scale their innovations well beyond their local communities or existing markets. Verb helps entrepreneurs around the globe to identify strategic partners, sources of capital and mentors. In short, Verb is at the epicenter of the social innovation movement."
Award-winning leadership
Ernst & Young recognized Verb's innovative business model blending financial return and social impact by awarding co-founder and CEO Suzi Sosa with the coveted Social Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2014.
"We are responding to three massive trends in the marketplace," notes Sosa. "First, businesses are now seeking to address social and environmental issues more strategically. Second, the rise in global entrepreneurship means there are more innovative startups than ever before, and finally, social media enables engagement with the public on a much larger scale."
Verb's Series Seed round is unique because it includes two philanthropic foundations, the Graham Family Foundation and the Tingari-Silverton Foundation, among our investors.
"This was an incredible opportunity for our foundation to make its first program related investment," says Graham Family Foundation Director and Build-A-Sign CEO Dan Graham. "We are excited that we can make investments that also support our foundation's mission. More foundations should consider opportunities like these."
Verb's Series Seed investment capital will be used to fund global expansion, platform development and strategic hires. Recent additions to the company include Chief Operating Officer Laura Broderick and Chief Creative Officer Tommy Lynn. Verb expects to continue to grow the team throughout the year.
Verb Series Seed Investors
Tom Meredith (Meritage Capital), John Thornton (Austin Ventures), Bobby Epstein (Circuit of the Americas), Matthew Dowd (Paradox Capital), David Hunt (Petro-Hunt L.L.C.), Herbert Simon (Simon Property Group), Zita Cassizzi (TOMS Shoes), Kurt Wilkins (HireBetter), Donna Wilkins (Charity Dynamics), Marc Winkelman (Calendar Holdings LLC), Andrew Bursten (Coastal Telephone Co.), Lance Fors (LFI Properties), Pamela Ryan (Tingari-Silverton Foundation), Dan & Lisa Graham (Graham Family Foundation), and Walter Wilkie (Philanthropist).

In the last week or so, there have been really only 3 higher end trades made and all of them include Pittsburgh.
If there was one team that DIDN'T need to make a move, it was probably Pittsburgh.
He has added one big defenseman and two long time captains and what has he given up? One top prospect (none of their top 5 prospects) and crap picks. NO roster players given up.
Ray Shero is the best GM in hockey. Granted Sidney Crosby fell into his lap and if the 04-05 lockout didn't happen Crosby most likely would have been drafted somewhere else, but that is a different argument.

See the inspiring documentary 'Girl Rising!'
The Gendercide Awareness Project, www.gendap.org, presents 'Girl Rising.' The film uses real-life stories to show how education transforms the lives of poor girls in developing countries, improving not only their lives but their families' lives as well. This is the celebrated "girl effect" — the dividends reaped by an entire society when girls are educated.
In the developing world, education means the difference between poverty and comfort, between servitude and opportunity. Undervalued girls are often shut out. See the film Thursday, September 26, Angelika Film Center, 5321 Mockingbird Lane, Dallas. A short panel discussion will follow. Cost $10.
In collaboration with the World Affairs Council of Dallas-Fort Worth, the Embrey Human Rights Program at Southern Methodist University, and CARE.

Residents were urged Wednesday night to add their voices to a community group's call for further soil testing near Town of Tonawanda homes where toxins were detected.
Members of the Tonawanda Community Fund had announced in late January that soil samples they collected in a residential neighborhood in the town's industrial corridor revealed suspected carcinogens related to nearby industry. While those findings initially were announced during a news conference, Wednesday's meeting in the Sheridan Parkside Community Center was for residents.
"We're here tonight to give you some answers ... and direction," said Jackie James Creedon, founder of the community fund.
Last November, members of the group collected seven soil samples from a playground and homes in the neighborhood – comprising Kaufman, James and Sawyer avenues – to compare with a background sample taken at Beaver Island State Park on Grand Island. The testing was prompted by residents' complaints about a "black gooey substance" falling from the sky and damaging their vehicles.
"We did not find any heavy metals that were elevated, but we did find PAHs [polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons]," Creedon said. "If you live in Tonawanda, you know about the black soot – that's PAHs."
According to Andrew Baumgartner, a University at Buffalo student and community fund member, the group tried to mirror what the federal Environmental Protection Agency did in testing neighborhoods near Birmingham, Ala., where similar contamination was found. In both locations, nearby coal-burning industries are suspected sources of the contamination.
"Due to our small sampling size, our study is very limited," Baumgartner said. The group paid $200 for each of the samples to be analyzed by an Amherst laboratory known for its environmental testing services.
"We just need more samples," said Baumgartner. "We would be able to answer more questions if we had more data."
Creedon said: "The question is: Do we have a public health risk? We're not sure, but we're building our case."
The group is writing to the state Department of Environmental Conservation and the EPA with several requests. One is for more soil testing, as well as addressing the source of the "soot."
Also, "We are asking them to make Tonawanda Coke install controls on their 'pushing' process," Creedon said. She described that as when coal is pushed out of the ovens and said it produces a lot of the soot that residents see.
And the group wants the environmental agencies to meet with the community by June 1.
Tonawanda Town Supervisor Anthony F. Caruana said he's written to the agencies. "However, I don't think they listen as well to elected officials as they do to individual citizens," he said.

2009-04-29 23:58:08 beautiful clothes of all sorts —KatieD
2012-08-16 14:26:37 Beautiful clothing, high end of pricy, but most are well worth the cost. The staff seems okay, but one staffer took 26 minutes to ring us up, AFTER she noticed that we were ready to pay. In the middle of checking us out, she stopped to help a customer that had just walked in, this entailed going to the back of the store to retrive a dress on hold. then giving her opion of the dress. Poor decision making = poor customer service. I think when I'm dropping upwards of $100 I should get resonable service. Also, nothing there for anyone in the slightly plus size area except black. Not sure I will ever go back to store as I really felt angry and ill on leaving the store. —lindaallison
2013-04-13 00:23:20 Nice store, and I have bought some very nice gifts here that were well received. Staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. Jamie —JamesMorton

This is a load of crap. Just got rid of a bunch from Virginia as neighbors who moved here solely for this purpose and openly told it. HUD told it on my complaints that they could move here for 1 year and move back and stay on assistance because the wait time was less here. This town is FULL of families here for this reason right now, many are related coming in packs just like my neighbors were.

text: Way back in 1960, in a year when only 2,000 were in use, computers and their capabilities were thoroughly discussed as perhaps an eventual tool to cut the work force. There is a fear out there today, and it concerns the work force and the change that has occurred. That fear involves the transformation from manual labor to the technology of computers and even robots to do the jobs that many thousands of laborers were doing in the past. Many CEOs and high business management of most companies certainly support improving productivity by new technologies that include the computerized brain of our friend the robot.

RGIII?should have been pulled after halftime
January 23, 2013
I was born in 1928 in Philadelphia and automatically became an Eagles fan. In 1961, 53 years ago, I moved to Maryland and became a Redskins fan for life....
Great post, I could not agree more and was very disappointed that our coach did not "man up" and make the decision that seemed easy to most in the stadium and at home watching TV.

Majoritarian, you have to be quite possibly the most ignorant person. Black or white, players play. Coaches must coach, and that entails making decisions that are best for the players and the team. This writer is dead on. Shanahan made a decision that benefitted neither. No one would have screamed anything had he RGIII been pulled.
Also, criticize RGIII all you like for being black. He accomplished more in his life by the age of five than you will have throughout your miserable entire existence. Go back to your computer chair, drink your institutional coffee, and smoke your Basics.

About Ronnie Spector
Multiple Grammy-winning rock legend Ronnie Spector helped define an entire era of pop music. Her style and sound influenced artists from Joey Ramone and Bruce Springsteen to Amy Winehouse, and her beauty knocked Keith Richards for a loop.
As the lead singer of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Ronettes, she pioneered a female daringness and performance style that did not previously exist – with their sexually-charged persona, The Ronettes were the first women in rock to do for boys in the audience what Elvis did for girls. The Ronettes, scoring hit after hit, caused a hysteria to match that surrounding Elvis Presley or The Beatles. Ronnie has retained the voice, class and passion of the early recordings, securing her legendary status as one of the great voices of rock music.
Ronnie formed The Ronettes in 1961, and they quickly found regular work in New York. By 1963 they were an international sensation with hits like their Grammy Award-winning "Walking in the Rain,", "Do I Love You," "Baby I Love You," "The Best Part of Breaking Up," "I Can Hear Music,"and the Number One smash "Be My Baby." As the number one pop group in England, The Ronettes had opening acts like The Rolling Stonesand The Yardbirds when touring there. The Beatles specifically asked for The Ronettes to open for their final American tour in 1966.
Her post-Ronettes career was no less auspicious. Ronnie released her debut solo recording in 1971, with a backing band featuring George Harrison, John Lennon and Ringo Starr. Billy Joel wrote "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" for Ronnie, and she recorded it in 1976 with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band backing her up. "Take Me Home Tonight," her 1986 duet with Eddie Money, spent 23 weeks on the charts and was nominated for a Grammy.
Spector's rock and roll recordings of Christmas songs have become definitive: her versions of "Sleigh Ride" and "Frosty the Snowman" were in ASCAP's top 20 most played Christmas songs of the past 5 years. She has appeared on countless Christmas specials reprising these and other songs.
Ronnie Spector's latest CD, The Last of the Rock Stars, was released November 10th 2009. It could be called the best and most fully realized album of her career. For the first time ever, Ronnie is in full control of her material, arrangements, and production-which explains the remarkable warmth and vitality of her performances throughout the album. As a further testament to her far-reaching influence, members of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Raconteurs, and the Dead Weather guest on the album, in addition to guests like Keith Richards and Patti Smith.

please excuse my apostrophe error
s/b sons not son's
Glad this has helped with your dilemma but we still need to find the maker of the glass blank and have the enameller confirmed by someone. I'll keep looking but I've not seen any on the net at all
Aha, having gone back and had another look without my latenight eyes on, I can see that the third vase on that page 92 has a bower that is gilded! so another clue that the vases could have been enamelled and gilded by Muhlhaus
That vase is dated c1895. I feel very confident the maker of those blanks is most likely the same maker as yours.

Good Morning~
Lustrous-- Thank you.
FLYING--thanks again. I, impatiently, wait for the delivery of Truitt.
This is probably not the proper thread to ask this question but I cannot resist:
I am conFUSSed(no surprise there). Assuming a pre-1895 Moser piece of colored glass. Where did the colouration come from? The sandwich process?
Example: the gilt rim of Mr. Root Beer is 1/4 inch/ apprx 6mm wide. Does the width signal the ''sandwich'' process? If so that would explain his heft. I attached a photo of its rim--for the first time in the multiple times I have peered into the vase, I see a regular pattern of slight protuberances ''inside'' the gilt rim.
Puzzle: the vase portion is 20''. Was the body assembled from various ''pieces''=and account for the regular pattern of protuberances/joinery? If not, then is the blank the result of one mighty big blow.
I have now reread Baldwin three times in three nights: I'm a slow learner/ need to pound information into my noggin. Like the mechanical man who wears Leiderhosen and pounds his metal hammer on the hour as part of a glockenspiel. I am fascinated by glass. World history has always been an interest but I never considered its effect, say, on the craft of glass.
From what I have gleaned from Baldwin: (1) Mr. Root Beer should be Moser since it has labels and gilt numerals(for the decorator) and the design is consistent with what I believe is the time of its purchase--but the glass(if c. 1889 is correct) would have been made by another glassworks since Moser made no glass of his own until 1895+.
If only I spoke German so I could pronounce/retain the district and town names. Alas, I do not. The grandparents were multilingual but I studied math instead.
Add to that: I have 6 goblets which--now that I'm a ''72 hour old expert'' on artistry glass-- I can describe as-- they MAY be Italian clear blanks decorated (with the family crest) by Moser-- or not. They are light in weight and the enamel is matte(two of Baldwin's markers) with bright gilt surrounds and motto--but those markers are not, necessarily, definitive proof.
There is such a wealth of information on the site that my answer likely resides here which makes this post redundant but the initial excitement which has grabbed ahold of me has turned into a quest. I am convinced that whatever I thought I knew may be rubbish. On the bright side, I can learn.
Added for fun: One 14'' Moser piece(it's in a family photo --1885-1895-- so I'm certain of its approximate date) is broken beyond anything other than a shelf piece. Turquoise, frilly edged, with numerals 8402, gilt bees[different type from the insects of the Root Beer]and lovely colored fruit.
I'm in California and, last month, sought, online, someone to restore the piece. I've taken it apart and cleaned the margins but stopped there. I found a man who does glass restoration in Los Angeles. His name is Goldberg. I telephoned his office and listened to his phone message. A heavy, guttural, older, accented (as if English was not his first language) voice. I have not yet spoken with him.
When I first read the factory name GOLDBERG (Novy Bor) my eyes widened: would it not be wild! if the restoration man is distantly related to the Bohemian factory.
Many thanks to all for your repeated kindnesses.

Hi MissPrints
can you please start a new thread for your other vase? otherwise confusion reigns when trying to discuss the item in question if there is more than one piece on a thread.
I'm not sure how your blue lady vases were done, but it could be they were blown as first layer blue, then a layer of white which was then crackled before being cased in blue again. Someone who may have more knowledge may be able to decipher it more correctly.
Does your root beer vase have applied acorns on it btw?
Also if you have the Baldwin book may I ask you to look something up for me please (I don't have the book
) - I recently bought a very large piece of glass and I just wondered whether any of the decoration or indeed the piece might be in that book? I've sent an email to Moser to ask, but in the meantime if you have time to look I would be grateful. Many thanks if you have time to look.
the link to my piece is here

Afternoon, FLYING~
After a fast count, Mr. Root Beer's vase carries 64 acorns of two sizes--in one instance I noted that there was a pair of acorns. The base carries 46 of the smaller guys. The acorn bodies are darkened: if silver then, tarnished or as originally enameled. Note to self: Find

hello MissPrints - and welcome.
To tell if it's silver, rub it gently with the ball of your thumb. If it's silver, the tarnish will blacken your skin and it should start to shine a bit.
Cheers, Sue (M)

Chopin-Liszt~ You have paired two of my favorite composers, the poets of the piano keyboard.
Thanks for the hint. I've rubbed 10 of them but the only thing that my thumb shows(now) is a dent.
Some of the acorn ''nutmeat'' portions are a gun-meal silvery grey with black--or a dark blue-- burning through from beneath. Difficult to describe accurately: there are random ''lines'' of dark where the silver is not.
Some ''nutmeats'' are silver colored and look fine. Each acorn has a chased/hatched gilt topper.
Today it's raining in CA which makes this a holiday of sorts. CA is a desert with golf courses. When the sun comes out tomorrow (I sound like ANNIE) I'll take some high resolution photos in natural light in an attempt to discern what's going on in those finishes. I'll post the results.
Since the piece is old it's also possible what I'm seeing is the effect of the passage of time: smoke from fireplaces(non smoking family homeS) , atmospheric gunk buildup or
'Tis a mystery and that's an actual fact.

Truitt. (Copyright 1995~no other dates). In the Truitt book the pair which is similar( that you originally referenced/pointed me to) to those in the Antique Trader, Truitt ''valued'' at $200-250. I like your find's prices better, she said with a giggle. When Ms. Blue is delivered to me after Thanksgiving then I'll put her in a separate thread.
The Truitt
Bohemian Glass
book is well worth the views~Thanks for that hint, also.
I confess I played hooky, took the day off, and went to see Spielberg's LINCOLN.
Now it's dark but you've been so helpful that I gave the photos a go with the flash.
Four pictures: taken with a flash and/or manipulated for contrast.
The first photo is one acorn on a small turquoise vase--(dare I say, decorated by Moser?) That acorn is provided because it's another view of the same banding effect. Date of acquisition believed to be of the same time frame as the Root Beer. A cutie. No label. Cylindrical, 5 1/4'' in height <--for another day but useful, here.
The final three photos are similar views of Mr. Root Beer's acorns.
It's chilly tonight, the glass is cold, my hands, warm: I didn't remove the vase from the box.
Until the weather warms up a bit, I am reluctant to take the Root Beer outside~ but I shall (crosses her heart) make a better attempt at acorn photos in shaded sunlight.
Happy Thanksgiving(if it applies)~ ~ else, enjoy your Thursday~

Your piece is cased not 'sandwiched' and was made by gathering clear glass and blowing a little. This was then marvered to pick up blue enamels (coloured ground glass), then the piece would be cooled to crack the layer of blue enamel and blown a bit more the blue splitting along the cracks as it expanded. After that another gather of clear glass and then blown to final shape in a mould.
It looks as if it could be cameo. Although the type of enameling by building up layers of enamel to simulate cameo is described in various places but I have never handled it. It needs to be looked at closely, particularly the flake at the crack to be certain it is enamel not cameo. Could you add a close up of that flaked area and also one of the shaded 'ground'. It is certainly a very finely made piece. Bigger the better, so host on your site.
It is not Mary Gregory glass, that was a marketing term for an American style of enameled glass introduced after 1900 that is copying the original Bohemian style of your vase. Mary Gregory glass is a very poor descendant of yours!
The uneven areas you mention on the other piece are an artifact of mould blowing, I presume the exterior surface is not flat. Irregular surface causes the interior surface to reflect the surface as the glass tries to spread at a regular thickness.

I feel strongly that the lady on the crackle vase isn't "Mary Gregory" too. The quality of the modelling on your vase is vastly superior to any MG!

Only six dairy exhibitors have attended all 50 years!
Only six dairy exhibitors have attended all 50 years!
All-American Dairy Show celebrates golden anniversary.
by Patti Hurtgen,
Hoard's Dairyman Online Media Manager
This September marks the 50th Anniversary for the All-American Dairy Show (AADS) in Harrisburg, Pa. There are six prominent families that stepped into the show ring for the duration of the event.
Sam Yoder
The first is one of the founding fathers of the AADS, Sam Yoder of Shoemakersville, Pa. He established Pinesedge Farm in the 1940s, taking over his father's beef and Shorthorn herd after returning from service in World War II.
Sam observed several changes at the All-American Dairy Show.
- Showmen only clipped the ears and tails; it was quite a few years later before they clipped heads and blended in body hair.
- Exhibitors were dispersed throughout the barns without any regard to the kind of breed and Sam saw a great rapport among farmers.
- Communication changed drastically, "We stood in line at payphones four or five people deep to call home for extra supplies, medicine or to talk to family," says Sam. Phyllis recalls times that she wouldn't hear from him for days. One week, she expected him to return by Sunday but he didn't drive in the lane until Wednesday or Thursday.
One day Sam and Phyllis tabulated their time spent at the PA Farm Show building; with PA Farm Show, State Show and the AADS, he spent at least two years of his life in the building. Was it worth it? "Absolutely," Sam says. "Seeing the generations come together, the positive changes in the breed and the lasting friendships, it was worth every minute."
David Patrick
David Patrick, Woodbine, Md., started showing cows when he was 11 years old. His grandfather founded the herd with a handful of animals and David's father grew the herd by adding mixed, grade cows. When David expressed interest in showing purebred animals, he and his father took a trip to Forest View Farm in Pennsylvania and purchased two Ayrshire heifers."
David and his wife Ann have seven children: Michael, Denny, Johnny, Terri, Kathy, Carol and Rhonda. David is currently in a three-way partnership. Michael and Denny handle the majority of the management. Their prefix is Maple Dell and they now milk 170 Holsteins and Ayrshires and farm 1,200 acres.
The AADS has always been "an exhibitor-friendly show," says David. "The facilities and the people are key reasons that people come back every year." David and his brother Jimmy, who passed away a few years ago, were in a partnership with Maple Dell Farms and they alternated years attending the shows. David remembers that "one person was responsible for a string of 12 to 13 show animals. Now it takes a crew of 3 or 4 to handle that many animals."
From his many years of AADS experience, David says "you see the true character of a person in the show ring. It takes a true man to stand at both ends with grace. I will admit it is more fun at the top, but I've stood at both ends and I try to do so in good character."
Marchezak family
Four generations of the Marchezak family of Twin Brook Farm, Bentleyville, Pa., have been a staple at the All-American Dairy Show. Twin Brook milks 90 cows – a mix of Guernseys, Jerseys and Holsteins.
From (L to R): Jonathan McMurray, John McMurray, Patty (Marchezak) McMurray, Justin McMurray, Isabelle McMurray, Boehl's Am Pie Bess held by owner Jocelynn McMurray, Adam McMurray, Twin Brook Bentley Sadie held by owner/breeder Grace Marchezak, John E. Marchezak, Randi Marchezak, Jan Marchezak, Jeremy Ivcic and Jason Ivcic. Missing from the show crew are Jaimie Ivcic, Anne Marchezak, Alexis Lopez and Kristina Zacour.
Patriarch John Marchezak, along with wife Dorothy raised their three children Patty, Jan and John E., on their dairy farm tucked in the far corner of western Pennsylvania's Washington County. The family had a milk jugging operation with a door-to-door delivery route, and sold meat from the farm.
Always a fun, colorful man, John was enthusiastic about the new national show in Harrisburg. He packed up his cattle and family and headed for Harrisburg in 1964, and a long-time love for the All-American was born.
Family members have been involved in nearly every aspect of the show. Patty McMurray (John's daughter) served as the Promotion Committee Chair for the 25th Anniversary and on the Show Improvement Committee, served as a Good Housekeeping judge, exhibited and sold items in the All-Dairy Antiques Show, offered consignments to the Youth Benefit Auctions, helped initiate the show's Image Award along with John Morris and Elsie Wolff, and organized the ever-popular white pants exchange for exhibitors.
For the past 49 years, Twin Brook has been a class sponsor. A distributor for Lira Gold Health Products, John E. also supports the show through the company that has also been a long-time supporter.
The entire Marchezak family considers the All-American as a gathering spot for mini reunions between friends and family. "We get to see people we only see once a year," says Patty. "Plus, we get to see some really great cows."
Snider Homestead
Seven generations strong, the Snider Homestead family of New Enterprise, Bedford County, Pa., will make its 50th trip to the All-American Dairy Show in September.
Snider Homestead Farm, purchased by John and Amanda Snider in 1892, is now home to great-great-granddaughter Berneta (Snider) and Brad Gable and their family.
When Berneta's father Bernard and uncle Obie took over the farm, they continued to milk Guernsey cattle until Obie purchased the nearby Singing Brook Farm and began milking Holsteins.
On the original homestead they milk 122 Guernseys and 30 Holsteins. The Gables farm 400 acres.
Berneta and the family continue to support the show in a variety of ways. She serves on the show's board of directors and the Image Award selection committee. Snider Homestead Farm is an annual class and champion sponsor.
"We all have the same love of dairy cows no matter what breed, and we enjoy the competition to see how our animals compare," she says. "Everyone at the show is there because of dairy cattle, and we look forward to it every year," says Kendy, Berneta's daughter.
Palmyra Farms
For the past four generations, the Shank family graced the show ring with their purebred Ayrshires. William Shank, Rocky Spring's Farm, planted the tradition in the early 1940s and when the All-American Dairy Show opened its doors for the first time in 1964, the family made the trip north to Harrisburg, Pa.
William's son, Ralph, and his wife Patricia purchased an additional farm in Hagerstown, Md., and established Palmyra Farms. The passion of exhibiting outstanding Ayrshires never wavered as the Shanks passed that passion on to their children, Mary and Ralph, Jr.
Their father had a lot of faith in the Shank pair, at the young age of 16 and 14, Mary and Ralph were responsible for getting the animals cleaned up for show day and took care of the regular chores of bedding, milking and feeding. Their father kept the farm running at home and came to Harrisburg on show day. Mary appreciated the way people shared their experience and helped each other; it strengthened the bond of friendships and gave each other a respect that went beyond the rows of cattle.
Mary recalls her father's advice to "add as much value to the cows as you can."
Showing cattle was just one way that Palmyra Farms added merit to the genetics of the animals. Showing is a marketing tool, a self evaluation on how dairy farmers measure against the competitors and a way to promote top cow families. That competitive passion continues today with a 170-cow milking herd of registered Ayrshires and Holsteins. Palmyra Farms is a partnership between Mary and her husband, Michael Creek, and Ralph, Jr. and his wife, Terrie.
Getting cows ready for the show, the competition in the show ring, the admiration for the breed are all reasons that the Shanks continue exhibiting; however "it is the friendships, networking and evenings spent sitting by the cattle and catching up with friends," that keeps them returning to AADS. "Everyone at the show has a common bond, a passion for the breed, a competitive spirit and respect for each other," says Mary.
Spring Valley
Spring Valley Farm, Westminster, Md., is well-known for their outstanding string of Jerseys. John Stiles and his wife Charlotte established the herd in the 1930s in Montgomery County, Md. The initial herd consisted of grade Holsteins and the Stiles made the switch to Jerseys when they had to raise their butterfat content or run the risk of losing their milk market
The Jersey herd grew for John and Charlotte, as did their family. Their six children (Howard, Betty Ann, Charlotte, Clifford, Wayne and Allen) were all active 4-H members. In 1951, the farm moved to Westminster, Md., where the farm is still located today under ownership of Wayne and Allen. By the time the All-American Dairy show was birthed in 1964, the family already had a superior reputation in local, state and national shows.
The Spring Valley herd has remained a front-runner at the All-American Dairy Show and won Grand Champion and Reserve Champion honors numerous times in the past five decades. Spring Valley was also awarded Premier Breeder and Premier Exhibitor banners.
One of the most memorable All-American years for the family was the flood in 1975, when the animals needed to be led to safety through the flood waters. Wayne also remembers leading four heifers through the water to the trailer and when he turned around there were only three heads coming through the water, their calf was completely submerged, for the exception of her ears. Thankfully, the group made it to the trailer including the first-place junior calf from the day earlier.
The family never let go of that passion, respect and admiration for the show ring continues their recognition of being a prominent farm family at the All-American Dairy Show. They thoroughly enjoy the AADS, appreciate the "well-run show, staff and the respect they give to exhibitors."
Spring Valley Jerseys is one of six families that have been showing for the duration of the All-American Dairy Show. When the show opened its doors in 1964, Pinesedge, Maple Dell Farm, Palmyra Farms, Twin Brook Farm, Snider Homestead and Spring Valley were there to step into the first show ring that first year. The six farms will be honored at this year's anniversary celebration at the 50th All-American Dairy Show in Harrisburg, Pa., September 8 to 12.

Following a difficult 1-0 loss to Mercer on the road on Sunday, the Stetson men's soccer team (2-5-0) will break up the Atlantic Sun Conference action with a road tilt at UCF (4-4-2) on Wednesday. The Hatters and the Knights are scheduled to kick off at 7:00 p.m. in Orlando.
Ranked ninth in the NSCAA South Region rankings on October 2, UCF welcomes Stetson to town with an overall record of 4-4-2 in 2012. The Knights are only 1-2-1 at home this season, picking up their first victory at the UCF Soccer Complex with a 1-0 win over FIU on October 3. Most recently, UCF fell to South Carolina by a score of 2-1 in Columbia. Deshorn Brown leads the Knights with eight goals and two assists for 18 points in 2012.
The Hatters fell back to .500 in A-Sun play after dropping a 1-0 match on the road to Mercer this past Sunday. The Bears' goal in the 26th minute was enough to put this one away, and improve Mercer's record to 3-0-0 in league action. Stetson fell to 1-1-0 in A-Sun games, and 2-5-0 overall.
UCF holds a 31-10-2 advantage over Stetson in the all-time series between the two teams. Last season the Hatters tied the Knights 1-1 in DeLand, but it has been since a 2-1 victory in 2007 that Stetson has won in this rivalry.

Earlier this month, the S.C. Democratic Women's Council held its fall forum in Columbia, where "Electing Democratic Women" was one of the discussion topics for the 100 or so in attendance.
A co-sponsor of the event was a low-key but nationally focused political action committee that has been actively pushing to see Hillary Clinton elected president in 2016.
"Ready for Hillary," which operates without her official approval, made a financial donation toward putting the gathering on, though council president Susan Smith of Pawleys Island declined to say how much it was.
Smith did say that she's ready and waiting for the announcement that Clinton will run for the White House.
"I think we're all excited about the possibility of Hillary Clinton running for president," she said.
Clinton is months away from declaring her intent. But just like in other states, a quiet effort is underway in South Carolina to build support for the former first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state.
Part of the effort is being led by the Ready for Hillary super PAC, which is expected to do much of the early legwork for the next year or so while Clinton plots strategy. That includes appearing at rallies wherever Democrats get together.
"Our main goal is to build an army of supporters and create a database of volunteers and activists who can be activated the minute she makes a decision," said Seth Brigman, a spokesman with Ready for Hillary, on collecting names, emails and phone lists here.
"In South Carolina that's very important because it is an early primary state," he added.
Among South Carolina Democrats who will take part in the party's 2016 primary, Clinton remains the anecdotal favorite, largely because timely Democratic polling in this Red state is rare, and the other Democrats in the running have far less name recognition.
Also considering a run are Vice President Joe Biden, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, just to name a few.
College of Charleston political scientist Kendra Stewart said any effort, no matter how small, can earn dividends.
"It's never too early to start raising money or building a network," she said.
Stewart said Clinton supporters, like those for any serious presidential hopeful, will start getting the wheels going in every state "or at least the states that matter in the primary."
Clinton's first foray into South Carolina, early in the 2008 presidential campaign, didn't go smoothly. Part of that furor was sparked by former President Bill Clinton's comments when he appeared here as his wife's surrogate and ventured into how race was being injected into the battle by the Obama campaign. At least half the turnout was forecast to be black voters.
Referring to his wife and Obama, Bill Clinton was quoted as saying at the time, "They are getting votes, to be sure, because of their race or gender, and that's why people tell me that Hillary doesn't have a chance to win here."
Clinton finished a distant second in the 2008 primary with a 27-percent following in the eight-way South Carolina race in which Obama won with a convincing 55-percent finish.
While Clinton supporters are out early and active, some voters said that concentrating solely on a presidential primary still more than two years away also has to be kept in perspective.
Smith, for example, said next year's gubernatorial campaign by Democrat Vincent Sheheen against Republican Nikki Haley still ranks as her immediate priority.

In this July 9 photo, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton applauds international delegates to the Women in Public Service Project leadership symposium, at Bryn Mawr College in Bryn Mawr, Pa. For all the talk that the former secretary of state intended to slow down after two decades in national political life, Clinton is keeping a busy schedule that amounts to a training camp for a second presidential campaign if she decides to run.×

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Understanding the interplay between genetic and environmental factors that shape phenotypes has represented, historically, a thought-provoking area for biomedical, medical, and social sciences.
While the biology of the genome has witnessed unprecedented advances in the past three decades, identifying and studying the impact of environmental factors on live organisms remains a challenging endeavor. To address this unmet need, a new concept was defined to include all the environmental exposures that act during an individual's lifetime, starting with the prenatal period.
"The principle behind the concept of the exposome was to be able to characterize a person's complete exposure history throughout life, and this includes factors shaped by environment, lifestyle, occupation, socio-economic, and demographic conditions in order to better understand the causes of the diseases they experience," says Christopher P. Wild, Ph.D., director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and author of the landmark 2005 article that first introduced the concept of the exposome.
Exposome research capitalizes on technological advances that previously provided unprecedented opportunities to mine the human genome and compare genomic regions across individuals and populations. "At this time, we do not have an equivalent set of tools to capture an individual's exposure history to environmental or lifestyle factors," says Dr. Wild.
This gap promises to be at least partially addressed by applying genomics and other related technologies such as metabolomics to reveal details about exposures. A key development is in epigenetics, a field that assumes a central position in the study of the exposome.
In addition to the DNA damage model for carcinogenesis, recent years revealed that gene expression and function may also be modulated by mechanisms that do not involve mutagenesis, and several environmental and lifestyle factors were shown to act by these pathways, which became known as epigenetic pathways.
Of these, DNA methylation is at the most advanced stage of understanding. "With methods that can comprehensively measure the DNA methylation status, for example, it has now become possible to explore the correlation between a particular exposure, the underlying mechanism of action, and disease risk," explains Dr. Wild.
One of the areas where the exposome promises a paradigm shift is cancer research. While significant advances over the past few decades helped understand the molecular pathways of carcinogenesis, translating the findings into the clinic has been more challenging. "This has to do mostly with the fact that cancer is so heterogeneous at the molecular level, that finding treatments for any single malignant tumor will be a very complex task," explains Dr. Wild.
Additionally, as it is anticipated that the incidence of cancer will increase in the coming decades, particularly in the poorest countries, as a result of population expansion, an increasing life expectancy, and increased exposure to some cancer risk factors, the development of preventive interventions emerges as a priority in medicine and public health.
"Reducing the cancer burden will not be possible solely through treatment, and this was part of the motivation behind the exposome idea, to better understand the causes of disease and implement preventive strategies," says Dr. Wild. The focus on the exposome provides the unique opportunity to use emerging knowledge about mechanisms to identify and characterize risk factors that drive molecular changes involved in carcinogenesis.
"I refer to this approach as two-way translational research because in addition to applying concepts from the bench to the bedside, there is also an opportunity to extend information from the bench to the population, and this is the strategy that will help understand mechanisms and lead to disease prevention," adds Dr. Wild.
"Interest in the study of the exposome is growing," says Anthony Macherone, Ph.D., senior applications chemist at Agilent Technologies, and visiting scientist at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Studies on the exposome allow data from multiple layers of experimental inquiry to be integrated. Since most complex diseases are determined by genetic and environmental factors, this approach promises to help better understand environmental contributions that shape gene expression and function. Of these two groups of factors, our knowledge about genetic contributions to disease is currently at the most advanced level of understanding.
"The environmental components will need to be further analyzed, and hopefully more long-term studies will be conducted to monitor exposure," says Dr. Macherone. To provide a framework that illustrates the powerful applications of the emerging field of exposomics, Dr. Macherone and colleagues will present, at the upcoming American Society for Mass Spectrometry meeting, an integrated analysis of the clinical and environmental monitoring of the exposure to estrogens, hormones that are instrumental during reproductive development, participate in the morphogenesis of multiple organs and tissues, and are involved in the pathology of several conditions.
Relying on microarray studies, endogenous measurements of estrogens, and environmental groundwater and wastewater surveys, this approach unveils the multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity that define this emerging field.
"Exposomics will require a more open milieu, in which scientists across disciplines will be engaged and integrate their findings in a way that is very different from what many scientists are doing right now," explains Dr. Macherone.
"In terms of exploring the exposome, our tools are still limited and need to be improved, but several groups are working toward trying to better assess exposures during an individual's lifespan," says Francine Einstein, M.D., associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology and Women's Health at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Researchers in Dr. Einstein's lab recently revealed that methylation changes during development occur in a sex-specific manner, with the most accentuated modification being visualized in growth-restricted male babies and overgrown female babies, indicating that sexual differences play an important and previously unsuspected role in shaping the link between epigenetic changes and phenotypes.
