Castillo San Felipe del Morro also known as Fort San Felipe del Morro or Morro Castle, is a 16th-century citadel located in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Lying on the northwestern-most point of the islet of Old San Juan, Castillo San Felipe del Morro is named in honor of King Philip II of Spain. The fortification, also referred to as el Morro or 'the promontory,' was designed to guard the entrance to the San Juan Bay, and defend the Spanish colonial port city of San Juan from seaborne enemies.
In 1983, the el Castillo was declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations in conjunction with the San Juan National Historic Site. Over two million visitors a year explore the castillo, making it one of Puerto Rico's leading tourist attractions. Facing the structure, on the opposite side of the bay, a smaller fortification known as El Cañuelo complemented the castillo's defense of the entrance to the bay.
Structure for deployment[edit]
The construction of the Castillo San Felipe del Morro and its surrounding walls began in 1539 when King Charles V of Spain authorized its construction. The purpose was to defend the port of San Juan, by controlling the entry to its harbor. In order to have a viable defense while the rest of the fort was completed, a small proto-fortress was erected during the first year of construction. It is estimated that this section comprises about 10% of the whole structure. But it was not till 1587, that engineers Juan de Tejada and Juan Bautista Antonelli drew the fort's final design, which was based on the established Spanish Military Fortification principles of the times. Thus, similar Spanish fortifications of the 17th-18th centuries can be found in Cuba, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Veracruz and Acapulco, Mexico, Portobelo and Panama City, Panamá, and many other Latin American locations which were part of the Spanish Empire during the Age of Exploration. Many complex additional new structures were added to El Morro over the next 400 years to keep up with the new military technologies. For example, El Morro's outer walls, which were originally constructed six meters thick, were augmented to 18 feet (5.5 m) thickness by the end of the 18th century. Moreover, in 1680, Governor Enrique Enríquez de Sotomayor began the construction of the walls surrounding the city of San Juan, which took 48 years to build. The castillo was part of the Four Lines of Defense along with the San Cristobal Castle, being the San Gerónimo fortress and San Antonio bridge the first line. Today El Morro has six levels that rise from sea level to 145 feet (44 m) high. All along the walls are seen the dome-covered sentry boxes known as garitas, which have become a cultural symbol of Puerto Rico itself. The El Morro or Port San Juan Light was built atop the castillo in 1843, but in 1908, it was replaced by the US military with the current lighthouse. The original lighthouse was destroyed by US warship fire during the 1898 bombardment of the city. Including the exterior open killing grounds, known as the glacis and esplanade, dominated by cannon in the 17th and 18th centuries, El Morro can be said to take up over 70 acres (280,000 m²).
Spanish Rule (1539–1898)[edit]
During the Spanish government of the island, El Morro survived several attacks from foreign powers on various occasions. In 1595, Englishman Sir Francis Drake attacked San Juan with his fleet. He failed, however, the Spanish gunners shot a cannonball through his cabin. In 1598, the English attacked again, led by George Clifford, 3rd Earl of Cumberland. Clifford succeeded because he attacked San Juan from land instead of entering through the San Juan Bay. However, an epidemic of dysentery forced him to flee the island.
The Dutch, led by Boudewijn Hendricksz, also attacked the island following George Clifford's idea of invading through land. To the amazement of the citizens, the invaders were able to pass in front of the castle's defenders and into the harbor, where the city's cannon fire could not reach them. El Morro managed to resist the siege and eventually make the Dutch retire, although they were able to sack and burn the city before leaving.
El Morro's last active fight occurred during a naval bombardment by the United States Navy during the 1898 Spanish-American War. Ending the age of naval warfare in the Caribbean, at least in the classical sense. During the Spanish-American War, the castle was attacked at least three times by American naval forces, the most major of which being the Bombardment of San Juan on May 12, 1898.
The short war ended with the signing of Treaty of Paris. Spain ceded ownership of the islands of Puerto Rico, Cuba, Guam, and the Philippines to the United States.
American Military Occupation (1898–1961)[edit]
El Morro and many other Spanish government buildings in Old San Juan then became part of a large U.S. Army post, called Fort Brooke. In the early 20th century, the U.S. military filled up the esplanade, or green space in front of "El Morro" with baseball diamonds, hospitals, officers' quarters, an officers' club and even a golf course.
United States' first shots of World War I were fired from the castillo's battery in 1915. On March 21, 1915, Lt. Teofilo Marxuach was the officer of the day at El Morro Castle. The Odenwald, built in 1903 (not to be confused with the German World War II war ship which carried the same name), was an armed German supply ship which tried to force its way out of the bay and deliver supplies to the German submarines waiting in the Atlantic Ocean. Lt. Marxuach gave the order to open fire on the ship. The Odenwald was forced to return and its supplies were confiscated.[3] The shots ordered by Lt. Marxuach have been considered as the first fired by the United States in World War I. The first actual wartime shot fired by the U.S. came on the day war was declared, during the Scuttling of SMS Cormoran off another small American island, Guam.
During World War II the United States Army added a massive concrete bunker to the top of El Morro to serve as a Harbor Defense Fire Control Station to direct a network of coastal artillery sites, and to keep watch for German submarines which were ravaging shipping in the Caribbean. A lighthouse, rebuilt by the U.S. Army in 1906–08 is the tallest point on El Morro, standing 180 feet (55 m) above sea level. Flagpoles on El Morro today customarily fly the United States flag, the Puerto Rican flag and the Cross of Burgundy Flag, also known in Spanish as las Aspas de Borgoña, a standard which was widely used by Spanish armies around the world from 1506–1785.
National Park (1961–present)[edit]
In 1961, the United States Army officially retired from El Morro. The "fort" became a part of the National Park Service to be preserved as museums. In 1983, the Castillo and the city walls were declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations. In honor of the Quincentennial of the voyages of Columbus in 1992 the exterior esplanade was cleared of palm trees that had been planted by the U.S. Army in the Fort Brooke era, and restored to the open appearance this "field-of-fire" for El Morro's cannon would have had in colonial Spanish times. Parking lots and paved roads were also removed, and the El Morro lighthouse repaired and restored to its original appearance. El Morro was used as a film set in the 1996 motion picture Amistad. Steven Spielberg used it to represent a fort in Sierra Leone where African slaves were auctioned in 1839. African slave labor was used in addition to local labor to help build the castillo. El Morro was a defensive military fortification and a major component of San Juan's harbor defense system. Puerto Rico as such was considered by the Spanish crown as the "Key to the Antilles"; no enemy ship could navigate its waters without fear of capture.
Historical time line[edit]
1493 – Spanish settlers from Caparra found San Juan.
1508 - Spanish colonized the area
1539 – Construction of the first harbor defenses at El Morro and La Fortaleza authorized by King Charles V.
1587 – Engineers Juan de Tejada and Juan Bautista Antonelli lay out the main design for El Morro still seen today.
1589 – Governor Diego Menéndez begins new construction at El Morro.
1595 – Sir Francis Drake attacks El Morro unsuccessfully by sea. Gunners from El Morro shoot a cannonball through the cabin of Drake's flagship. To impede Drake's ships from entering the bay, a metal chain was drawn across the entrance. Drake was defeated and many of his ships sunk.
1598 – George Clifford, Duke of Cumberland, attacks from the land side in June of this year, the only time El Morro was taken in battle. English forces move into the fortress, however weakened by dysentery they leave in November.
1625 – The Dutch under the command of Captain Balduino Enrico (also known as Boudewijn Hendricksz/Bowdoin Henrick) attacked and invaded San Juan from the "La Puntilla". El Morro held out under the leadership of Spanish Governor De Haro and Captain Juan de Amezquita of the Puerto Rican militia, but the city was sacked and burned.
1630 – Governor Enrique Enríquez de Sotomayor begins construction of the city walls. Work continues until 1678 to encircle the city completely.
1765 – After the siege of Havana in 1762 by the British, King Charles III appoints Field Marshal Alejandro O'Reilly (Alexander O'Reilly) and Royal Engineer Tomás O'Daly (Thomas O'Daly) to reform San Juan's fortifications and reorganize the garrison to make the city a "Defense of the First Order".
1787 - An earthquake damages the structure of both San Felipe del Morro and San Cristóbal.[4]
1797 – Ralph Abercromby (General Ralph Abercromby) and Henry Harvey (Admiral Henry Harvey), with a force of 7,000–13,000 men, invaded the island of Puerto Rico. Captain General Don Ramón de Castro and his forces repelled the attack. Abercromby and Harvey were defeated. This was to be one of the largest invasions to Spanish territories in the Americas.
1825 – Well known Puerto Rican pirate, Roberto Cofresí was jailed and later executed within the fort's walls.
1843 – First lighthouse in Puerto Rico constructed atop the castle.
1898 – On 12 May, US Navy warships shell El Morro in a day-long bombardment, damaging the tip of the main battery. Six months later, Puerto Rico becomes US territory by terms of the Treaty of Paris which ends the Spanish-American War.
1899 - The Department of the Navy rebuilds the lighthouse tower as an octagonal reinforced concrete structure using the iron structure as reinforcement. A new lenticular lens is installed. By 1906 a crack, through and around the top of the tower, directly under the lantern requires its demolition.
1908 – Present lighthouse seen atop El Morro built by the United States Navy.
1915 – First shots of World War I fired by Lt. Teofilo Marxuach on behalf of the United States. Marxuach, a native of Arroyo, Puerto Rico, fired the first shot in what is considered to be the first shot of World War I fired by the regular armed forces of the United States against any ship flying the colors of the Central Powers.[5] Marxuach, who was a member of the "Porto Rico Regiment of Infantry" and Officer of the Day, on 25 March 1915, opened fire on the Odenwald, an armed German supply vessel, as it was trying to force its way out of San Juan's bay.
1942 – El Morro was still an active military post during World War II. The U.S. Army added concrete artillery observation posts and an underground bunker to El Morro to defend against possible German attacks.
1949 – San Juan National Historic Site is established.
1961 – The U.S. Army moves out of the forts of Old San Juan, and they become the jurisdiction of the United States National Park Service, to be preserved solely as museums.
1983 – San Juan National Historic Site declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations.
1992 – El Morro's grounds are returned to their historic 18th century appearance as part of quincentennial commemoration of the discovery of Puerto Rico by Christopher Columbus when modern roadways and parking lots are removed. El Morro now generates tourism revenue by being open to tours.

Hardened PoE Ethernet switch
New industrial grade EDS-P510 PoE Ethernet switch from Moxa withstands harsh and outdoor environments.
Moxa, a provider of industrial networking solutions, has launched its new EDS-P510 Gigabit PoE (power over Ethernet) managed Ethernet switch. The EDS-P510 is equipped with four IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE ports and provides connected devices with up to 15.4 watts of PoE power per port. The ability to transmit data and power simultaneously saves on wiring costs, and the industrial grade design make it especially suitable for harsh and outdoor environments.
Moxa says the EDS-P510 provides three advanced power management functions:
• A PD (powered device) failure recovery function detects the status of connected powered devices. When a PD fails or shuts down, the EDS-P510 can reset and re-activate the device to ensure that it works properly. (Watch a video demonstration of this function.)
• A timetabling function that allows the user to configure a PD to work at specific times rather than letting it run continuously.
• A power-limit function avoids situations where connected devices exceed a pre-set limit and could cause power overload problems. When the function is active and a new device is connected to the switch, other devices will be disconnected automatically based on user-defined priorities or on a next-port basis.
The EDS-P510 comes with three combo Gigabit Ethernet ports (two ports for redundant ring and one for uplink) that can be used to form a redundant Gigabit ring and uplink. The company adds that using SFP ports ensure high-bandwidth transmission for both data and video, making the EDS-P510 an excellent choice for outdoor applications that involve connecting devices such as IP cameras, APs, and intercoms. Such applications can benefit from the EDS-P510's scalable backbone construction and PoE support.

These cleansing pads are fantastic! They're convenient (love the other reviewers idea of cutting them in half and will be doing this!). I love that the pads have different textures on each side.

I have found that when I want to use them to exfoliate that I'm better off not adding any additional water to the pad or my face until after I've gone over my skin with the rough side of the pad. They have enough moisture in them already that this works really well. Then I dampen the pad and go over my skin again with more moisture and it really gets my skin clean and soft. They are plenty big enough to cut in half and get two uses out of each pad. A 28 pad count of pad cost about $7.00 at Wal Mart, so cutting them in two makes them really affordable. — 3 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 12 of 12 people said helpful

For Immediate Release
Contact: Mark Genovese, 518.782.9400, ext. 353
GLOVERSVILLE, Nov. 1, 2011 – For nearly a year, registered nurses at Nathan Littauer Hospital have made a sincere effort to negotiate a fair contract. Hospital management, however, hasn't.
The nurses' negotiating team has made every possible effort, including the use of a federal mediator, to reach an amicable settlement. Left with no other choice, the RNs voted overwhelmingly tonight to authorize a strike.
The 144 RNs are represented by the New York State Nurses Association. Their most recent four-year contract expired on Dec. 31, 2010.
Under federal labor law, a strike cannot start until 10 days after the nurses' negotiating committee serves the hospital with a notice of intent. This advance notice has not yet been served. The next session is scheduled for Nov. 4.
Nurses believe that management continues to make demands that will force experienced nurses away from Nathan Littauer and make it very difficult to attract qualified RNs – which are in high demand during this nursing shortage. Nathan Littauer nurses are taking this step because they want to make sure that highly qualified nurses will remain here to care for our community – now and in the future.
The New York State Nurses Association is the voice for nursing in the Empire State. With more than 37,000 members, it is New York's largest professional association and union for registered nurses. The association represents registered nurses, and some all-professional bargaining units, in New York and New Jersey. It supports nurses and nursing practice through education, research, legislative advocacy, and collective bargaining.

The purpose of an undergraduate education is to provide students with the opportunity to grow personally and intellectually; allowing them the time and resources to discover a breadth of new ideas and topics as well as to build and to explore their own interests and passions in depth. Therefore, students should seek a broad education during their undergraduate years. There is no required major for entrance to dental school. The following courses represent the minimum course requirements for entrance to a Texas dental school. Students are encouraged to incorporate these requirements into their semester by semester plans for completion of their baccalaureate degree. It is further recommended that students learn directly from dental schools about their most current, available admissions information.
Students who enter their undergraduate studies with the intention of beginning dental school just after graduation should plan to complete the pre-dental curriculum by the end of their junior year and apply to medical school shortly thereafter. Such a schedule would permit a student to complete his or her baccalaureate degree requirements over the course of the following year prior to matriculation to dental school. It is not unusual, however, that a student will decide later in his or her academic career to pursue dentistry. Arriving at the decision later does not necessarily place a student at a disadvantage. It will, however, require a student to postpone the application to dental school until pre-dental course requirements are fulfilled. The dental school application cycle, from application to matriculation, takes approximately fourteen months, so advanced planning is essential.

The Dental Admission Test (DAT) is a computer-based exam that is administered on an almost continuous basis. Although, depending on the schools to which they are applying, students may have until December 1st of the application year to take the DAT for the score to be considered during the current application cycle, they are strongly encouraged to take the DAT well in advance of December 1st for their scores to be considered early on during the application cycle. To be an early applicant to dental school, it is recommended to take the DAT in May or earlier. An examinee must wait at least 90 days to be eligible to apply to retake the exam, if necessary.
The DAT is comprised of four sections: Survey of Natural Sciences, Perceptual Ability, Reading Comprehension, and Quantitative Reasoning. It is recommended that students plan to complete the majority of the dental school prerequisites prior to taking the DAT. Scores for the DAT range from 1 to 30 and are based on the number of correct answers; therefore, examinees are not penalized for guessing. The standard score of 17 typically signifies average performance on a national basis, though students are encouraged to find the average scores for matriculating classes at various schools to gain an idea of what may be considered a competitive score. Complete DAT information, including test registration and detailed information on the content for each section, is available online (http://www.ada.org/dat.aspx).Application Process
Application Process: To apply to Texas dental schools, students who are Texas residents must apply through the Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS). Detailed information on the application process can be found at their website: www.utsystem.edu/tmdsas. The application typically becomes available May 1 and closes on October 1. Students are strongly encouraged, however, to apply earlier on during the application process rather than waiting until the final deadline. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that TMDSAS receives all transcripts, fees, and other required documentation. Dental schools typically interview candidates between August and January. The dental schools begin extending offers of acceptance on December 1. Offers of acceptance will continue to be made until classes are filled. Matriculation is in August.
To apply to out-of-state dental schools, students should utilize the Associated American Dental School Application Service (AADSAS). Detailed information about the AADSAS application can be found on the website of the American Dental Education Association (ADEA): https://portal.aadsasweb.org/.
To better serve future students, we will be establishing a longitudinal database through which we can keep track of our applicants and where they have matriculated. To facilitate this, we request that students approve advisor access to their application status through TMDSAS and AADSAS.

Student organizations can provide important opportunities for networking, education and service. For additional information please contact the Pre-Dental Society.
Special Programs
Click here for a printable PDF with additional details on the Dental Early Acceptance Program
DEAP is a joint program between The University of Texas at San Antonio and The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) Dental School. Although it may not be a good fit for all students, this program offers those with an interest in dentistry the opportunity to receive early conditional acceptance to the UTHSCSA Dental School and to earn both a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from UTSA and a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from UTHSCSA within seven years. Among other requirements, a student must have earned at least 12 semester hours of college credit at UTSA and no more than 30 semester credit hours all together to be eligible to apply to the program. A.P. and dual credit hours will be counted toward the 30 credit hour maximum to apply on an individual basis. DEAP Information Sessions are held monthly. All students interested in the program must attend one of these information sessions to learn more about the program and its requirements prior to scheduling an individual appointment with an advisor to discuss applying to DEAP further. For information on when the DEAP Information Sessions will be offered each month, please see the UHPO website, call us, or visit our office.

Throwing in the chips and wanting a game manager after 3 seasons...dumb.
If it backfires ...well I won't blame Sanchez. You don't go get a guy who has never been in that position and suddenly believe he's gonna help an offense going through issues like OL , WR and RB this off-season.

Animal phenology (CLIM 025) - Assessment published Sep 2008
This item is open for comments. See the comments section below
Generic metadata
Climate change (Primary topic)
Typology: Descriptive indicator (Type A - What is happening to the environment and to humans?)
Key policy question: ..
Key messages
- Climatic warming has caused advancement in the life cycles of many animal groups, including frogs spawning, birds nesting and the arrival of migrant birds and butterflies. Seasonal advancement is particularly strong and rapid in the Arctic.
- Breeding seasons are lengthening, allowing extra generations of temperature-sensitive insects such as butterflies, dragonflies and pest species to be produced during the year.
- These trends are projected to continue as climate warming increases in the decades to come. Populations may explode if the young are not exposed to normal predation pressures. Conversely, populations may crash if the emergence of vulnerable young is not in synchrony with their main food source or if shorter hibernation times lead to declines in body condition.
Trend in egg-laying dates of the Pied flycatcher across Europe
Note: This map shows the trend in egg-laying dates of the Pied flycatcher across Europe (1980-2004). Dots: weather stations used to calculate changes in local egg-laying dates (derived from temperature data); triangles: location of Pied flycatcher laying date time series.
- Climate change and timing of avian breeding and migration throughout Europe provided by University of Groningen
Key assessment
Past trends
As spring temperatures increased in Europe over the past 30 years, many organisms responded by advancing the timing of their growth and reproduction.
A study in Britain (Crick and Sparks, 1999) analysed 74 258 records for 65 bird species from 1971 to 1995. The study showed significant trends towards earlier (8.8 days on average) laying dates for 20 species (31 %), with only one species laying significantly later. The effects, however, are not necessarily uniform. The predicted egg-laying date for the pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca), for example, shows significant advancement during the period 1980 to 2004 in western and central Europe, but delays in northern Europe (Figure 1); both are strongly driven by temperature trends (Both and Marvelde, 2007).
Strong and rapid phenological changes have been observed in the high latitudes in response to warming of the region occurring at twice the global average rate (Hoye et al., 2007). The date of snowmelt in northeast Greenland has advanced by an average of 14.6 days since the mid 1990s, resulting in earlier egg-laying dates for birds in the region.
The future impacts of climate change on animal phenology are poorly understood, but could include increasing trophic mismatch and disturbance to ecosystem functioning. The trend towards warmer springs may continue to induce earlier breeding and migration activity. Unpredictable cold snaps are likely to cause high mortality amongst early movers. Meanwhile, species whose life cycles are calibrated according to day length, and which do not respond so readily to changing temperatures, will not be able to exploit earlier spring resources unless they can adapt.

< Return To Hearing
Dr. Carole Ben-MaimonJune 23, 2004 Senator Hatch. Honorable Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. I am Carole Ben-Maimon, M.D., President and Chief Operating Officer of Barr Research, Inc., the proprietary products research and development division of Barr Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a leading U.S. specialty pharmaceutical company that markets more than 100 generic and proprietary products. I am a physician, board certified in Internal Medicine, and a mother of three. Prior to working at Barr, I was responsible for both generic and proprietary research and development with Teva Pharmaceuticals. I also spent two and one-half years as Chairman of the Generic Pharmaceutical Association. My experience as a physician, and in both generic and proprietary drug development, has provided me a unique perspective on the pharmaceutical industry, a perspective that truly appreciates the value and contributions made by the passage of the Hatch/Waxman Act and a perspective that makes me an advocate for a legislative process that will permit the timely and efficient introduction of more affordable generic versions of biotechnology pharmaceutical products. The issue before this committee today is not unlike that of 20 years ago, when Congress was crafting a legislative pathway for the efficient and timely approval of more affordable generic pharmaceutical products. Indeed, many of the arguments made in opposition to Hatch/Waxman 20 years ago are being, and will continue to be, made during this debate regarding generic biotech pharmaceuticals, namely: that "generic companies" lack the scientific sophistication to operate in this complex arena; that it is impossible to adequately characterize the innovator products; and that the safety and efficacy of generic biotech products can not be assured without full-blown clinical trials. Fortunately for consumers and taxpayers, Senator Hatch and his colleagues had the wisdom and foresight to reject these arguments and approve the Hatch/Waxman Act. As a result, America's generic pharmaceutical industry has been saving consumers tens of billions of dollars on pharmaceutical products each year. It is time for Congress to put these same principles to work in the area of biopharmaceutical products. To say that generic biotech products cannot be made flies in the face of the facts. The truth is, it is already being done in other parts of the world. Biogenerics are being developed, produced, and sold in countries such as Poland, China, and Lithuania. Given the long lead times for generic biopharmaceutical development, the United States is at substantial risk of losing our preeminence in this global field. The loss of a leadership position threatens that other countries will be dictating the standards for regulatory approval and the quality of these products. In addition, American scientists will lose the opportunity for the high-quality jobs that a robust American generic biopharmaceutical industry could bring to the United States. Today, we urge Congress to begin the process of creating a regulatory pathway that will enable multiple pharmaceutical companies to develop and manufacture biotech pharmaceutical products in a cost-effective and cost competitive manner while still ensuring appropriate scientific standards for safety and efficacy. We ask Congress to pass legislation that will recognize and apply the current practice of comparability that enables biopharmaceutical manufacturers to change processes or manufacturing locations without conducting new safety and efficacy trials. We seek the establishment of a regulatory process that will enable the use of surrogate markers to ensure the safety and efficacy of generic biotech drugs, just as they do now under the Abbreviated New Drug Application process for traditional generic medicines. An abbreviated generic biotech pharmaceutical development process that accounts for scientific issues but acknowledges advances in scientific knowledge and understanding and thus limits duplication of development and bureaucracy is essential to ultimately limiting the investment required to develop cost-competitive generic biologic drug products. This will ensure that the American consumer reaps the benefits of these cost savings. We are not asking this Committee or Congress to define the regulatory pathway today. Rather, we are asking Congress to begin the process of negotiating an efficient and cost-effective process for establishing a regulatory pathway that will be based on sound science and seek to re-establish America's position of leadership in this area. As with the approval of all pharmaceutical products, we are urging that this mechanism be reasonable and clearly tied to appropriate science that will establish safe and effective biotech pharmaceuticals. Reality of Generic Biotech Drugs As the United States begins the debate regarding the creation of a process for the approval of generic biotech drugs, we are in fact, playing catch-up to the rest of the world. While special interest groups attempt to convince Congress that generic pharmaceutical companies cannot overcome the hurdles to the development of these products, residents of other nations are already enjoying access to more affordable, generic biotech products. As an employee of Barr, my access to information about the availability of biopharmaceuticals at other drug companies is limited to what is publicly disclosed. But even a cursory examination demonstrates that a number of companies are already supplying generic biopharmaceuticals in other countries. These include Sicor, LG Chemicals, GeneMedix, Cangene, Rhein Biotech, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Wochart and Dragon Biotech. They are supplying human growth hormone, interferons, EPO, insulin and other biopharmaceutical products in markets such as Lithuania and other Eastern European markets, Mexico, China, Korea, India, Argentina, Egypt, Peru and Brazil. The marketing of generic biotech products in other countries clearly demonstrates that the products are comparable and that safety is not an issue. The exposure of thousands of patients, without untoward effects, clearly demonstrates that these products are not only effective, but safe. With the necessary regulatory oversight, safety will be appropriately addressed and thus will not be an issue in the United States either. There are also a number of biotech products that are already multisource in the United States. Insulin products are one example. These include Humalog, Humulin, and Humulin-L, from Eli Lilly; and NovoLog, Novolin, and Novolin L, from Aventis. The same is true for Human Growth Hormones, where Nutropin and Nutropin AQ, are made by Genentech Inc.; Humatrope by Eli Lilly, Genotropin by Pfizer; Norditropin by Novo Nordisk; and Serostim and Saizen by Serono Laboratories Inc. Each of these products required full development programs, costing consumers billions of dollars and exposing hundreds of patients to unnecessary clinical trials. That multiple manufacturers are currently able to develop and produce these products on a large scale provides further confirmation that generic companies can and will develop and manufacture high-quality, equivalent generic biotech pharmaceuticals. Generic companies are no less capable than branded companies of applying state of the art science in manufacturing and product development. However, the regulatory process for generic biotech drugs can and should recognize that the safety and efficacy and many aspects of the safety of these products has already been established and thus significantly less additional testing is appropriate. The argument that biotech drugs are so complex that they cannot be characterized ignores the fact that there are numerous highly sophisticated analytical methods available to all pharmaceutical companies, including generic companies. These methods permit the characterization of these complex proteins, and more methods are being developed. The argument that generic companies cannot characterize these very complex proteins is, in part, based on the mistaken impression that generic companies do not have the technological expertise or scientific, medical or clinical capabilities to safely develop generic biotech drugs. Advances over the past 20 years, both in the area of analytical methods and validation techniques have allowed companies to characterize their biologic drug products such that the impact of changes to process and cell lines can be evaluated and biologic drug products can be kept constant. Generic companies have highly sophisticated R&D organizations and manufacturing capabilities, and most, in fact, already develop and market proprietary products just as brand companies do. While some drug products, both chemical and biotech, might be more complex than others, the vast majority can be a fully characterized with currently available analytical methods. These analytical methods also can help identify and thus control any process-related impurities that are often found with biotechnology products. And continued advances in analytical methods will ultimately enable the characterization of all biotechnology products. Finally, the argument is made that there is magic to the process of manufacturing biotech drugs. This may have been true when manufacturing processes were not validated and analytical methods were not advanced enough to characterize the final product. This is no longer the case. If it were, many of the products made by the various biotech manufacturers would not be available today. It is only the fact that these manufacturers have been able to utilize comparability protocols that has allowed them to make the necessary changes to processes and even cell lines required to allow them to supply these important drug products. In reality, biotech products can be fully characterized and compared analytically and biotech firms routinely justify process and site changes via comparability protocols. In the United States, comparability is routinely being used to permit changes in manufacturing. When an innovator biotech company seeks changes in processes supporting the manufacture of their products, or seeks to change the manufacturing location of a product, comparability is the process by which the amended product is judged to provide the same clinical effect and safety profile. FDA does not require the innovator to conduct full-scale clinical trials to confirm the safety and efficacy of the product. Utilizing surrogate markers to confirm that the amended drug will provide the same results is the very process that is used today in traditional pharmaceutical manufacturing to ensure the safety and efficacy of a generic drug. Under the current ANDA process, established by Hatch/Waxman Act 20 years ago, the safety of the innovator drug is established by the clinical trials conducted by the innovator prior to the approval of the New Drug Application. The generic applicant does not have to conduct clinical trials to prove safety and efficacy. Instead, the generic manufacturer must prove bioequivalence. Hatch/Waxman relied on the use of surrogate markers - namely plasma levels, the rate and extent of absorption of the drug product into the blood stream, to represent the efficacy and safety measure that is the basis for approval of generic drugs. Such a process, although employing different surrogate markers specific to each individual biologic product, is applicable to the approval of generic biotech products for many reasons. The use of these surrogate markers would allow for a more limited clinical program while still ensuring efficacy and safety. Application of reasonable surrogates for measuring the efficacy and equivalence of generic drugs can and should be applied to generic biotech products, since it has been proven to be an effective and efficient measure of equivalence and has enabled the approval of safe and effective generic versions of traditional pharmaceutical products. Compelling Need America's pharmaceutical biotechnology industry represents one of the most successful and fastest growing segments of U.S. healthcare. Ten years ago, revenues for this industry were approximately $8 billion. According to IMS, the international pharmaceutical data monitoring service, when you compare 2003 to 2002, the pharmaceutical biotech industry enjoyed revenue growth in excess of 22%, compared to 11% for the total market. By 2010, analysts estimate that biotechnology product sales will exceed $60 billion. Generic competition is essential to control costs and continue to stimulate innovation. More than 150 biotech drugs are on the market, including human insulin, interferons, human growth hormones and monoclonal antibodies. In the past year, more than 30 new drugs were approved, compared to only two in 1982. There are more than 370 biotech drug products and vaccines currently in clinical trials targeting more than 200 diseases including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, AIDs and arthritis. Biologics are a major driver of increasing prescription drug costs. Six biotech pharmaceuticals - Procrit, Epogen, Neuposen, Intron - A, Humulin and Rituxan - generated sales of more than $1 billion. And at least three new blockbusters are expected to join that list. The top three biotech pharmaceuticals: Neupogen, Epogen and Intron A cost patients $23,098, $10,348 and $5,850 respectively, each year. Cerezyme, a drug indicated for the treatment of patients with Gaucher's disease, a rare disease resulting from the genetic deficiency of an enzyme, has annual patient costs of $170,000. Although this drug treats a very limited number of patients, competition would surely drive these costs down and make this product more affordable for those who need it. As evidenced by these examples alone, generic competition for biotech pharmaceuticals has the potential to offer consumers dramatic and substantial savings, while also lowering America's healthcare bill. As the number of these products grows, and the lifecycle of these products matures, the patents on these products expire. If Congress does not act now, Americans will continue to be faced with escalating drug prices while others, outside the U.S. reap the benefits of more affordable safe and effective prescription drug products. In addition, without the opportunity to develop and sell generic biotech products in the U.S., it is likely that all development and manufacturing activities will take place outside the U.S. and Americans will not have the opportunity to benefit from those jobs. Given the success of the Hatch/Waxman Act, it is essential that we insure timely competition for these very expensive biotechnology products ensuring cost competition, innovation and a U.S.-based industry. Creating the Regulatory Pathways to Ensure Generic Competition As with traditional generic pharmaceuticals before 1984, the obstacle standing between consumers and substantial savings on biotech drugs is the articulation of a regulatory process that will enable safe, effective, FDA-approved generic versions of biotech drugs to reach the marketplace following a well-defined, scientifically-based approval process. There are three issues here. The first is the lack of a generic approval process under the Public Health Service Act (PHSA). The second involves, what we believe to be, the mis-classification of some products approved under PHSA. It is our scientific contention that many of these products should rightly be reclassified under FFDCA, which would open the door for possible generic drugs under Hatch/Waxman as it exists today. The third issue, or more a correction, is that some products were approved under the FFDCA and these products do have a pathway for approval and should be reviewed through the ANDA process already defined under Hatch/Waxman but are currently not being reviewed as such by FDA. We urge Congress to create legislation that will clearly define a pathway that enables FDA to review and approve all products on the basis of clinical science, on a case-by-case basis and without placing unnecessary requirements on generic companies which would result in unnecessary testing, increased expense, and limited access. Summary In summary, the economic arguments for creating a process that will ensure timely generic competition for biotech drugs are compelling. We recognize the investment made by biotech drug developers in intellectual property, and endorse the need to ensure appropriate intellectual property protection and the ability to recoup their investment. As has been proven under the Hatch/Waxman Act, competition fuels innovation, and ensuring timely generic competition will ensure continued innovation in biotech drugs. We must preserve this incentive for innovation, but it is now time to provide the balance of competition to keep America's biotech innovators strong and growing. And we must learn from the lessons of Hatch/Waxman, and address, in advance, intellectual property issues that could, in the future, be used as a barrier to appropriate generic competition. The pathway created under biotech generic legislation must enable and compel the FDA to review generic biotech applications in a manner that assures safety and efficacy. The standards for generic biotech drugs must be rigorous enough to ensure safety and effectiveness, and support consumer confidence in generic biotech drugs, but must not be permitted to require generic applicants to recreate large clinical studies that simply reinforce the scientific knowledge already available. The science to create affordable generic biotech drugs exists today. It is being done in other countries. It is being done every time an innovator changes a manufacturing process or location and uses comparability to ensure the biotech drug will provide the same safety and efficacy. America is already losing the race to generic biotech products. But it is not too late. Congress can and must create the regulatory process that will help save consumers additional billions of dollars on prescription drug costs, by enabling the timely, efficient and cost-effective approval of generic versions of biotech drugs. Thank you. |

Pocket invitations are an increasingly popular wedding style, and for good reason - they're modern; they're stylish; they're versatile, and they offer an attractive way of organizing a wedding invitation ensemble. Invitation pockets with folds are all the rage, and given this growing trend, it comes as no surprise that one of the most common questions we get at LCI Paper is:
How do I make my own pocket wedding invitations?
There is no cut and dry answer to this commonly asked question - the answer is as broad as our customers' range of personal tastes and creative abilities. Where some folks prefer invitations that are simple in design and quick in assembly, some prefer custom, intricate detail - and don't forget the spectrum of folks between.
However, in order to assist all of our creative customers in making their own unique pocket invites - no matter where they fall on the spectrum - LCI offers materials, design inspiration, and detailed instructions for every step of the way. Whether you are looking for something as simple as quick tips or design ideas, or something as detailed as a step-by-step tutorial, LCI has your DIY needs covered.
If you are looking for a great selection of card-making supplies for your pockets, rest assured, you have come to the right place! For consistent invitation ensembles, choose from our extensive variety of matching pocket envelopes, specialty papers and decorative accessories.
All of our pockets are pre-assembled by us, meaning the the fold or pouch section of the pockets are all glued in position. Besides designing and creating your invitation look there is no assembly required.
At LCI Paper we understand that ordering online is not always easy and it is sometime best to see and feel the paper before ordering. Since we offer different sizes, textures and finishes, items such as invitation pockets can be especially confusing. For instance, what if you wanted a black pocket, however you were not certain about the size and color. LCI offers black pockets in 3 sizes and several brands and paper finishes, which is great, but how do you decide? To help with the selection process we put together an easy to use DIY-Pocket Invitation Sample Kit for order. And best of all it ships free!
Even though the pocket has a top flap, it is not considered an envelope. The sides are uncovered and exposed to potential damage from the high speed machinery at the Post Office. We recommend that whenever you send pocket invitations through the mail, you place them in an outer envelope for protection.
In most instances double wedding envelopes are used for traditional wedding invitation ensembles. Pocket card invitations are more contemporary in style that would be better suited for a single outer mailing envelope.
The flaps on our invitation pockets do not seal on their own. Some suggestions for decoratively holding your pockets' flaps down are:

Product Information
Sturdy steel front sights for the 1911. Requires fitting and installation by a qualified gunsmith installation.
Technical Information
Generally, all installations will require machining. Exception will be if the firearm already has Novak sights. However, if
installing Extreme Duty sights, some machining may be required even if changing from other Novak sights. Some Kimber,
Springfield and H&K pistols have been factory-equipped with Novak sights.
Complete instructions are included with these sights if they require machining for installation.
Novak front sights are dovetail. Slide will require milling if not already set up for dovetail front sights. If changing from
dual crimp front sights, the holes in the slide will have to be filled or they will show after machining for Novak front.
Extreme Duty sights, comments from Novak:
1911 Colt 70 and 80 series. Will require full milling if handgun does not have Novak sights. If handgun does have
sights, will still require a small milling cut in front of the existing rear dovetail for the sight's hinge system. Front blade
recommended is .225" height.
Springfield. Same requirements as Colt, above.
Kimber. Milling is not required if handgun has Novak sights. Front blade recommended is .175" height.
Smith & Wesson. Same requirement as Kimber, except front blade recommended is .305" height.
Browning. Will require full milling of slide at front and rear. Front blade recommended is .215" height.
Gunsmith installation is recommended
* Novak-style dovetail cut depth varies depending on the brand of sight and model chosen.

Shock, Bilstein For Porsche Part # MS-1661
For the performance minded driver, Bilstein shocks deliver absolute mastery of the road surface. Bilsteins instantaneously self-adjust to changing road surface. Performance does not incline from age, use or heat - requiring no compensating manual adjustments. While everyone else makes a Mcpherson strut or cartridge, they mount the narrow piston rod at the top where it must absorb the twin forces of the compression and rebound as well as the stress of tremendous side loads from cornering. Bilstein places the piston rod inside the strut tube, where it is completely protected from side load stress and contamination by road matter. the thicker, stouter steel body of the shock dissipates side loads much more effectively. Bilsteins also operate at much cooler temperatures with their ultra-efficient monotube design, which allows a more rapid heat dissipation. Learn More

Clare Leighton, ca. 1950, albumen photograph
Oct 19, 2013 – Apr 06, 2014VMFA Works on Paper Focus Gallery
Free admission
This display of approximately 30 drawings, prints, posters, porcelain, and books by the Anglo-American artist Clare Leighton (1898–1989) comes from a local and rarely seen private collection. Born and raised in Great Britain, she moved to America in 1939, residing first in Maryland, then North Carolina, and finally in Connecticut. Leighton occupied a central position in the Arts and Crafts revival of British wood engraving and its related developments in America. Her book illustrations set a new standard in commercially produced literature, while her writing revived interest in early-to-mid-century rural culture. As the first woman to produce a study of the art of wood engraving (Wood-Engraving and Woodcuts, 1932), Leighton played a key role in popularizing the medium. This exhibition, which complements a larger display of Leighton's work at the University of Richmond's Harnett Museum of Art, includes examples of her watercolors, government posters, and wood engravings for novels by Thomas Hardy as well as volumes on southern and New England country life. It is organized for VMFA by Chief Curator and Cochrane Curator of American Art Sylvia Yount.
