Agent Provacteur 100ml Eau de Parfum Spray
The magic alchemy of this potent potion lies in the secret of an Exotic floral Chypre which combines top notes of pure Saffron oil from India and Coriander
from Russia, with a sensual heart of Moroccan Rose Oil, Egyptian Jasmin, French Magnolia Oil, Ylang and white Gardenia flowers from The Comores.
This is balanced with the sorcery of Vetivert from Haiti, Amber and of course the animalistic seduction of musk.
One of the secrets of Agent Provocateur's success is the attention to every last detail.
Moulded in precious porcelain, the original material used to store perfume, the wonderfully tactile bottle keeps perfume cool and prevents degeneration by light.
Agent Provocatuer Parfum, a magic strong enough to bring out the Agent Provocateur in every woman.

HoopsHype Derrick Caracter rumors
Slask Wroclaw announced two new players. Polish team signed former Lakers Derrick Caracter from Bnei Hertzeliya and Jakub Parzenski from Virtus Bologna. Caracter last season averaged 12.2 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, Parzenski only 1.9 points and 1.5 rebounds per game. Sportando
Former Lakers forward Derrick Caracter joined Chinese team Sichuan 361 Sport
Derrick Caracter signed a contract in Israel with Bnei Herzliya, David Pick reports. Former Lakers already landed in Israel to join his new team. Caracter spent last season in D-League with D-Fenders, Vipers and Stampede. Sportando
Guangdong Southern Tigers has waived Derrick Caracter and signed Ike Diogu. NetEase
He remains optimistic and views Leandro Barbosa's late signing with the Boston Celtics and Eddy Curry signing with Dallas just days before the start of the season as hope that he'll, too, soon find a new home. "Ultimately, I have to stay ready, which I am, as far as in the gym, and stay positive," Howard said. "I don't think my career's over." Other notable players still looking for a team: Guards: Derek Fisher, Gilbert Arenas (in talks with Chinese team), Baron Davis, Earl Boykins, Mickael Pietrus, Michael Redd, Maurice Evans, Jason Kapono. Forwards/Centers: Kenyon Martin, Shawne Williams, Quentin Richardson, Bobby Simmons, Bill Walker, Jamario Moon, Renaldo Balkman, Ryan Gomes, Troy Murphy, Josh Powell, Derrick Caracter, Ben Wallace, Greg Oden, Sean Williams, Tony Battie, Mehmet Okur. NBA.com
Alex Kennedy: Free agent Derrick Caracter will play for the Atlanta Hawks' summer league team, according to source. Twitter
The Los Angeles Lakers are getting ready for another postseason run and will likely face the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the NBA playoffs in the Western Conference. Derrick Caracter, on the other hand, is bound for Puerto Rico. It's not a vacation destination for the former Laker, but a stepping stone chance to get back in the NBA where he's spent the last two seasons. On Saturday, Mets de Guaynabo in Puerto Rico's BSN -- or National Superior Basketball League as its officially known -- signed Caracter for the remainder of the season. Ridiculous Upside
Puerto Rican team Mets de Guaynabo signed for the season Derrick Caracter. The player has started the season in NBA with the Lakers but was assigned to Los Angeles D-Fenders (4 games at 15.5ppg and 7.5rpg). Caracter has also played with Rio Grande Valley Vipers (11.2ppg and 5.4rpg in 5 games) and Idaho Stampede (10ppg and 6.8rpg in 4 games). Sportando
Marc J. Spears: Former Laker big man Derrick Caracter going to D-League Rio Grande. Twitter
The Los Angeles Lakers have waived forward Derrick Caracter, it was announced today. Caracter, who was assigned to the Los Angeles D-Fenders of the NBA Development League on January 25, has played 4 games (1 start) with the D-Fenders this season, averaging 15.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 23.5 minutes. NBA.com
After his surgically repaired left knee kept him sidelined for the past 43 days, Lakers forward Derrick Caracter will finally return to the court. Just not in a Lakers' uniform. The Lakers assigned him to their Developmeant League affiliate, the D-Fenders, in time to appear in Thursday's game against the Bakersfield Jam. The Lakers sent rookie guard Andrew Goudelock on a D-League assignment during training camp, but Caracter's appearance marks the Lakers' first assignment during the regular season. Los Angeles Times
Caracter, who suffered the injury in the fourth day of training camp on Dec. 12, played a pretty modest role last season, averaging only two points in 5.2 minutes per game in 41 contests. He then had arthroscopic surgery two days later. Although the Lakers' backcourt hardly has provided much, Caracter's absence has meant little. Aside from his limited production last season, the Lakers' frontcourt already features Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and reserves, Josh McRoberts and Troy Murphy. Meanwhile, the Lakers have relied heavily too much on rookie guards Darius Morris and Andrew Goudelock because they remain depleted in the backcourt. Los Angeles Times
Derrick Caracter underwent successful surgery today to remove part of a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee, it was announced by the Lakers. The surgery, which took approximately 30 minutes, was performed by Lakers team physicians Dr. Steve Lombardo and Dr. Daniel Kharazzi at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles. Caracter is expected to be out a minimum of 4-6 weeks. RealGM
Mike Trudell: Derrick Caracter is expected to be out at least 4-6 weeks after successful surgery to remove part of a torn lateral meniscus. Twitter
It remains unclear how the Lakers' roster will look now up through their season opener Christmas Day against the Chicago Bulls. The Lakers have plenty of unsigned players, including Shannon Brown, Devin Ebanks, Derrick Caracter, Joe Smith and Theo Ratliff. They can exercise the so-called amnesty clause by shedding ties with Metta World Peace (three years, $21.5 million) or Luke Walton (two years, $11.46 million). Free agency beginning on Dec. 9 will also contribute to the frantic environment leading to opening day. Still, Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak told The Times' Mike Bresnahan that both rookies Darius Morris and Goudelock "probably deserve a chance to be looked at, and [they] have promise." Los Angeles Times
After spending most of his summer training with IMG to improve his post moves, Lakers backup center Derrick Caracter will spend the next two weeks playing for the Impact Basketball Academy league. Dan Barto, the IMG's pro/college training coordinator who has worked with Caracter for the last three summers, confirmed the report from Hoopsworld's Alex Kennedy that stated Caracter would be one of 40 NBA players competing in that league beginning Sept. 12 and ending with a championship game on Sept. 23.

Hi, this is Sam,
As you are no doubt aware, poaching is one of the major threats facing Uganda's gorillas today. Though nobody goes into the forest to harm mountain gorillas on purpose, younger gorillas in particular can get caught in snares left for small mammals, often with tragic results.
Ever since we started our work here at the Kisoro Resource Centre, we've recognised that the main thing causing people to become poaching is poverty. Men and women living alongside the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest often have no choice but to go into the protected area for bushmeat, as well as for firewood, either for their own families or to sell at market. That's why we set up our sustainable agriculture programme, to give people the chance to make a living without having to depend on the resources found in the forest.
It's been so rewarding watching people improve their own lives. But nothing has matched the excitement we felt when we succeeded in getting a group of former poachers to join the programme. While these men used to make a living out of illegally entering the forests to lay down snares, now they are learning how to live off the land.
To celebrate this exciting development, we held a special ceremony in Rubuguri County Hall. Here, the poachers handed over their snares to Pontius Ezuma, the head ranger for both the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park here in Uganda. Also present was Gideon Ahebwa, the President's representative in this region, as well as a number of rangers and community members. As you can see from these pictures, it was a happy and exciting day for everyone involved.
We're all confident that these men can succeed in transforming their lives, which would be good news not just for them, but for the gorillas who will, of course, have fewer poachers to worry about…

The new legislation states that "emergency meeting" means any meeting called for the purpose of addressing an unexpected event, which requires immediate attention because it poses:
- A threat to public health or safety.
- A threat of damage to public or personal property.
- A potential material financial loss or other potential substantial harm to a public agency.
Over the years, there have been numerous controversies over whether circumstances leading to the calling of emergency meetings truly constituted emergencies. Most recently, that included state Board of Education meetings regarding the ouster of Jorea Marple as superintendent of schools and the hiring of Jim Phares as her replacement.
The new legislation also clarifies that meeting notices are to be filed electronically on the secretary of state's website, eliminating a requirement that the notices also be published in the State Register.
A separate bill passed during the regular session (HB2542) eliminates the requirement that the Secretary of State's Office publish printed copies of the State Register.
Currently, there are about 30 paid subscriptions to the printed State Register, published weekly since 1982. Those will be phased out by April 2014, according to Tennant spokesman Jake Glance.
The new legislation defining emergency meetings goes into effect July 13.
Parker said the Ethics Commission and Secretary of State's Office will be publicizing the changes to state boards and agencies prior to that date.

Show Report
The band mixed up the set for the second night in Toronto - and it went down well. 'Now that sounds like appreciation,' said Bono, at the beginning of the show, and it really did.
Same size of audience here for the second show in Toronto, but they seemed to make double the noise - never more than when Edge joined the vocal for Stuck in a Moment. But the stand-out moment had to be the arrival on stage of a young boy during Unforgettable Fire who lapped the stage with Bono and then got to wear his shades.
Best view of the show tonight? The sound might not have been so great but it must have been a pretty spectacular perspective for all those people going up and down in the CN Tower. Daniel Lanois, co-producer of 'No Line' and most influential Canadian in the U2 story was here - must have been great to see the way the new songs have made the transition from the studio to the stadium.

Stuck in a Moment
Definitely was the highlight for me. What a tremendous night and Bono's comments on 102.1FM earlier about the CN Tower the and 360 stage mating with their dance of colors was in full effect again on night 2. Getting ready for Giants Stadium!
Jim&Elisa - 18 September, 2009
A night Lucas will never forget....
We were treated to a duo singing Blinding lights last night. Saw both Toronto shows. 2nd was stronger but both were terrific. 6th time seeing U2 and they never disappoint (even when Bono had the broken arm at the Joshua Tree tour). Last night we were in the Red Zone and it was a real treat. Looking forward to the next tour already! Thanks

Great show and good production and amazing sound for such a large venue. I do have a grip and that is ending the show with 6 quite and very laid back songs. Other than that is was a good origial show.

Much better then night one. Everything gelled on a higher ground with the inclusion of Mysterious Ways and New Years Day! Still miss Pride though! Guess you can't have it all! Off to NYC.

Fly Me to the Moon!
Second show, second night of amazing music! I felt like the spaceship took me to the moon and beyond! I was in the seats for the first show and lucked-out getting in the inner circle last night. I love your new songs, new innovations of your new songs, new old songs and the U2 anthems. My only disappointment is with the fans - put your cellphones and cameras away, stop recording and start grooving! Trust me, the boys look much better with your own eyes then through your digital screen. Let's give back to them what they work so hard to give to us! You can get pics and videos online from U2.com - and I'm sure the band will put out a much better recording of the tour then you can get on a camera. Let's get back to the way concerts used to be - just rock on!

Incredible and emotional
The connection with the 64,000 people was amazing. I've been following and/or attending some of the tours for about 15 years in different cities and it's always amazing, every time refreshing, very talented and very very emotional vibes. Bravo to the ongoing evolution of the band and can't wait for the next 3 or 4 years to see what's next.

Desiring "Desire" ...
AMAZING show - these boys never disappoint! Quick note: "Desire" was on the actual setlist but never actually played. =( But who's complaining? A rendition of "Streets" that took off into the stratosphere more than picked up the lack ;)
Chief - 18 September, 2009
I was there for both nights and the second night was even more impressive than the first!! I took my 7 year old son who has been listening to U2 since before he was born. His reaction when he saw the stage was an emphatic "OH MY GOD!" over and over again. I have taken him to AC/DC and Coldplay this year but based on his reaction to last night's show he is a true U2 fan at heart...just like his Dad. He was dancing, singing and giving high fives to the people around us. His highlights were City of Blinding Lights and Vertigo. A bonding experience for father and son that made it my favourite U2 show ever!!! When I put him to bed last night he said "Thanks Daddy....this was the most awesome night I have ever had!!" Thanks to the Bono, Edge, Larry and Adam for an fantastic evening!!!
Henrik_Larsson - 18 September, 2009
New Year's Day
U2 crew can disagree if you wish, but last night's performance of New Year's Day was the absolute best performance of the song in three tours, easily. I have seen many shows since Elevation, heard a lot of bootlegs and nothing comes close. Bono's voice belted out notes in this tune last night that the skeptics may have thought he no longer could. Not a note was out of place, it was perfect. Thank you for two glorious nights lads!
Saintostica - 17 September, 2009
The secong night in Toronto was impressive. Adjustments to the setlist improved the pace, and in particular dropping Your Blue Room. Mysterious Ways was a great addition, even if it meant dropping the rather intense Until the End of the World. Highlights tonight included Streets (this song is build for stadiums!) and Ultraviolet (again!). And what about that killer remix of Crazy! Awesome. Simply awesome.

Partying is an attitude. A Cointreau girl always knows places to be and the drink to order: Cointreaupolitan.
In Paris, New York, Roma, or Amsterdam, enjoy a Cointreau drink on a girl's night out or on your way to a VIP concert. Mixed drinks containing Cointreau are among the most subtle and elegant ones.
Through their new ambassador, Cointreau wish a Dita Von Teese life to all party girls. Be cointreauversial and adopt Cointreau's spirit: a certain irreverence, a spirited attitude, a little "je-ne-sais-quoi", a something extra thought to be due to its legendary "French touch".
Live Cointreauversially. Drink responsibly.

NCEAS Project 12358
Developing best practices for testing landscape effects on gene flow: Distributed Graduate Seminar
- Helene H. Wagner
- Lisette Waits
Activity | Dates | Further Information |
Meeting | 23rd—26th March 2009 | Participant List |
Meeting | 24th—28th May 2010 | Participant List |
A key objective of landscape genetics is to study how landscape modification and habitat fragmentation affect organism dispersal and gene flow across the landscape. Landscape genetics requires highly interdisciplinary, yet specialized professionals, and makes intensive use of spatial analysis tools such as remote sensing, GIS software and spatial statistics that have not historically been a component of training programs for population geneticists. Even when students receive disciplinary training in several of the involved fields of landscape genetics, educational programs lack the necessary linkage and synthesis among disciplines. This linkage can only be accomplished after experts from each discipline work together to develop guiding principles for this new research area. This proposed distributed graduate seminar unites some of the most active landscape genetics groups in North America and Europe, drawing on the experience of experts both in population genetics and landscape ecology with the goal of providing an integrated overview of approaches for testing the effect of landscape pattern on dispersal and gene flow, a key topic of landscape genetics.
Each seminar will start with a video-taped lecture that introduces foundations and methods and highlights points for discussion in local seminar groups. Practical experience applying various methods to selected cases studies will be provided through a combination of computer labs, interpretation of sample output, and paper discussions. Student groups across universities will focus on a specific step in the data collection and analysis process, evaluating the consequences of different choices of methods and deriving recommendations when to use which method, with each group project leading to a scientific publication. The main goal of the synthesis meeting is to discuss how consequences of methodological choices propagate to later steps in the analysis, leading to a joint publication of best practices for testing landscape effects on gene flow.

Bird of prey
Birds of prey, also known as raptors, hunt and feed on other animals. The term "raptor" is derived from the Latin word rapere (meaning to seize or take by force).[1] These birds are characterized by keen vision that allows them to detect prey during flight and powerful talons and beaks. In most cases, the females are larger than the males. Because of their predatory nature, they face distinct conservation concerns.
Many species of birds may be considered partly or exclusively predatory. However, in Ornithology, the term "bird of prey" applies only to birds of the families listed below. Taken literally, the term "bird of prey" has a wide meaning that includes many birds that hunt and feed on animals and also birds that eat very small insects.[2] In ornithology, the definition for "bird of prey" has a narrower meaning: birds that have very good eyesight for finding food, strong feet for holding food, and a strong curved beak for tearing flesh.[3] Most birds of prey also have strong curved talons for catching or killing prey.[3][4] An example of this difference in definition, the narrower definition excludes storks and gulls, which can eat quite large fish, partly because these birds catch and kill prey entirely with their beaks,[2] and similarly bird-eating skuas, fish-eating penguins, and vertebrate-eating kookaburras are excluded. Birds of prey generally prey on vertebrates, which are usually quite large relative to the size of the bird.[2] Most also eat carrion, at least occasionally, and vultures and condors eat carrion as their main food source.[3]
Classification by ancestry[edit]
The diurnal birds of prey are formally classified into five families (traditionally of the order Falconiformes, a classification currently[vague] in flux):
- Accipitridae: hawks, eagles, buzzards, harriers, kites and Old World vultures
- Pandionidae: the osprey (sometimes classified as subfamily Pandioninae of the previous family)
- Sagittariidae: the secretary bird
- Falconidae: falcons and caracaras
The nocturnal birds of prey – the owls – are classified separately as members of two extant families of the order Strigiformes:
The observation that otherwise unrelated bird groups may perform similar ecological roles and bear striking morphological similarities to one another is explained by the concept of convergent evolution.
Common names[edit]
The common names for various birds of prey are based on structure, but many of the traditional names do not reflect the evolutionary relationships between the groups.
- Eagles tend to be large birds with long, broad wings and massive feet. Booted eagles have legs and feet feathered to the toes and build very large stick nests.
- Ospreys, a single species found worldwide that specializes in catching fish and builds large stick nests.
- Kites have long wings and relatively weak legs. They spend much of their time soaring. They will take live vertebrate prey, but mostly feed on insects or even carrion.
- The true hawks are medium-sized birds of prey that usually belong to the genus Accipiter (see below). They are mainly woodland birds that hunt by sudden dashes from a concealed perch. They usually have long tails for tight steering.
- Buzzards are medium-large raptors with robust bodies and broad wings, or, alternatively, any bird of the genus Buteo (also commonly known as "hawks" in North America).
- Harriers are large, slender hawk-like birds with long tails and long thin legs. Most use a combination of keen eyesight and hearing to hunt small vertebrates, gliding on their long broad wings and circling low over grasslands and marshes.
- Vultures are carrion-eating raptors of two distinct biological families: the (Accipitridae), which only occurs in the Eastern Hemisphere; and the (Cathartidae), which only occurs in the Western Hemisphere. Members of both groups have heads either partly or fully devoid of feathers.
- Falcons are medium-size birds of prey with long pointy wings. Unlike most other raptors, they belong to the Falconidae, rather than the Accipitridae. Many are particularly swift flyers. Caracaras are a distinct subgroup of the Falconidae unique to the New World, and most common in the Neotropics – their broad wings, naked faces and appetites of a generalist suggest some level of convergence with either the Buteos or the vulturine birds, or both.
- Owls are variable-sized, typically night-specialized hunting birds. They fly almost silently due to their special feather structure that reduces turbulence. They have particularly acute hearing.

Given the uncertainty caused by the divergent rulings of the various district courts on the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act [PPACA], we feel that it is necessary to seek resolution of this issue as quickly as possible. Currently, state governments and private businesses are being forced to expend enormous amounts of resources to prepare to implement a law that, in the end, may be declared unconstitutional. ... We did not make this decision lightly. Given his unique responsibilities to fund and implement PPACA as Governor of Virginia, Governor McDonnell is particularly concerned about the possibility of wasting precious and strained taxpayer dollars preparing for a law that may well be struck down.
There are currently cases in 28 states challenging the provisions of the PPACA. Earlier this week, a judge for the US District Court for the Northern District of Florida [official website] struck down [opinion, PDF; JURIST report] the law as an unconstitutional overreaching of Congress' Commerce Clause [Cornell II backgrounder] power. The entire law was voided in that case, as the judge there found the mandate to be unserverable. That decision is expected to be appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit [official website]. Earlier in January, a judge for the US District Court for the Western District of Virginia [official website] dismissed [JURIST report] a lawsuit challenging a provision of the health care reform law. In October, a federal judge in Michigan ruled [JURIST report] that the law is constitutional under the Commerce Clause as it addresses the economic effects of health care decisions, and that it does not represent an unconstitutional direct tax.

Ethiopian Mitochondrial DNA Heritage: Tracking Gene Flow Across and Around the Gate of Tears The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 75, Issue 5, 1 November 2004, Pages 752-770 Toomas Kivisild, Maere Reidla, Ene Metspalu, Alexandra Rosa, Antonio Brehm, Erwan Pennarun, Jüri Parik, Tarekegn Geberhiwot, Esien Usanga and Richard Villems Abstract Approximately 10 miles separate the Horn of Africa from the Arabian Peninsula at Bab-el-Mandeb (the Gate of Tears). Both historic and archaeological evidence indicate tight cultural connections, over millennia, between these two regions. High-resolution phylogenetic analysis of 270 Ethiopian and 115 Yemeni mitochondrial DNAs was performed in a worldwide context, to explore gene flow across the Red and Arabian Seas. Nine distinct subclades, including three newly defined ones, were found to characterize entirely the variation of Ethiopian and Yemeni L3 lineages. Both Ethiopians and Yemenis contain an almost-equal proportion of Eurasian-specific M and N and African-specific lineages and therefore cluster together in a multidimensional scaling plot between Near Eastern and sub-Saharan African populations. Phylogeographic identification of potential founder haplotypes revealed that approximately one-half of haplogroup L0–L5 lineages in Yemenis have close or matching counterparts in southeastern Africans, compared with a minor share in Ethiopians. Newly defined clade L6, the most frequent haplogroup in Yemenis, showed no close matches among 3,000 African samples. These results highlight the complexity of Ethiopian and Yemeni genetic heritage and are consistent with the introduction of maternal lineages into the South Arabian gene pool from different source populations of East Africa. A high proportion of Ethiopian lineages, significantly more abundant in the northeast of that country, trace their western Eurasian origin in haplogroup N through assorted gene flow at different times and involving different source populations.

The Genetic Heritage of the Earliest Settlers Persists Both in Indian Tribal and Caste Populations The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 72, Issue 2, 1 February 2003, Pages 313-332 T. Kivisild, S. Rootsi, M. Metspalu, S. Mastana, K. Kaldma, J. Parik, E. Metspalu, M. Adojaan, H.-V. Tolk, V. Stepanov, M. Gölge, E. Usanga, S.S. Papiha, C. Cinnioğlu, R. King, L. Cavalli-Sforza, P.A. Underhill and R. Villems Abstract Two tribal groups from southern India—the Chenchus and Koyas—were analyzed for variation in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), the Y chromosome, and one autosomal locus and were compared with six caste groups from different parts of India, as well as with western and central Asians. In mtDNA phylogenetic analyses, the Chenchus and Koyas coalesce at Indian-specific branches of haplogroups M and N that cover populations of different social rank from all over the subcontinent. Coalescence times suggest early late Pleistocene settlement of southern Asia and suggest that there has not been total replacement of these settlers by later migrations. H, L, and R2 are the major Indian Y-chromosomal haplogroups that occur both in castes and in tribal populations and are rarely found outside the subcontinent. Haplogroup R1a, previously associated with the putative Indo-Aryan invasion, was found at its highest frequency in Punjab but also at a relatively high frequency (26%) in the Chenchu tribe. This finding, together with the higher R1a-associated short tandem repeat diversity in India and Iran compared with Europe and central Asia, suggests that southern and western Asia might be the source of this haplogroup. Haplotype frequencies of the MX1 locus of chromosome 21 distinguish Koyas and Chenchus, along with Indian caste groups, from European and eastern Asian populations. Taken together, these results show that Indian tribal and caste populations derive largely from the same genetic heritage of Pleistocene southern and western Asians and have received limited gene flow from external regions since the Holocene. The phylogeography of the primal mtDNA and Y-chromosome founders suggests that these southern Asian Pleistocene coastal settlers from Africa would have provided the inocula for the subsequent differentiation of the distinctive eastern and western Eurasian gene pools.

Mitochondrial sequences were retrieved from museum specimens of the enigmatic Andaman Islanders to analyze their evolutionary history. D-loop and protein-coding data reveal that phenotypic similarities with African pygmoid groups are convergent. Genetic and epigenetic data are interpreted as favoring the long-term isolation of the Andamanese, extensive population substructure, and/or two temporally distinct settlements. An early colonization featured populations bearing mtDNA lineage M2, and this lineage is hypothesized to represent the phylogenetic signal of an early southern movement of humans through Asia. The results demonstrate that Victorian anthropological collections can be used to study extinct, or seriously admixed populations, to provide new data about early human origins.

"Our combined SAP and IBM solution will allow us to better adhere to a growing number of regulations. It will also give us the flexibility to manage high product complexity and respond faster and more effectively to constantly-changing global demand. With SAP software on IBM BladeCenter, we now have a solid foundation that will support the business as it continues to grow, no matter what challenges we might face." - Deputy IT Manager

IBM Business Partner:
This pharmaceutical company operates six state-of-the-art manufacturing plants, and produces more than 1,000 varieties of medicines.
Business need:
This pharmaceutical company faced the challenge of managing a complex production chain while maintaining compliance with an ever-growing number of regulations. The company looked to expand into the European market and wanted to ensure that its business management systems could cope with increased demands.
The company chose to migrate to an IBM® BladeCenter® S Chassis running Red Hat Enterprise Linux and supporting two Intel Xeon 5600 series processors. The BladeCenter technology is attached to an IBM System Storage® DS3500 array.
Improves efficiency across production processes with functional enhancements delivered by updated SAP software.Enhances insight into product cost structures, helping to identify areas for improvement and reduce production costs. Provides stable, high-performance processing capacity at low cost and complexity.
Case Study
This pharmaceutical company operates six state-of-the-art manufacturing plants, and produces more than 1,000 varieties of medicines.
The company is dedicated to improving the longevity and quality of life through innovation and excellence in pharmaceutical formulations. It is committed to ensuring that its products and processes meet the strictest requirements, and enforces rigorous ethical standards. Customer service and satisfaction are key to the company's strategy, and it constantly focuses on meeting the needs of its customers with innovative methods and proven expertise.
The company's high standards have prompted international recognition and the enterprise has grown to produce medicines for many of the world's largest multinational corporations, with the majority of its products sold to export.
Challenges of growth
Selling to diverse international markets presents significant regulatory challenges. As most countries will only accept import and sale of medicines that have been manufactured to internationally recognized good manufacturing practice (GMP) standards, it is essential for the company to ensure that its products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards.
The company's Deputy IT Manager states, "We are responsible for manufacturing more than 1,000 varieties of medicines. It is essential that we have an accurate overview of every detail of the manufacturing process, so that we can ensure that all of our products meet the high quality standards expected by our customers and comply with global regulations."
The company's manufacturing facilities are accredited with World Health Organization (WHO) GMP and the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) certificates. However, the company wished to further expand into European markets, which required it to undergo extensive and stringent inspection of its manufacturing facilities, procedures and drug formulations in order to be granted the necessary certification.
"We were looking into expanding our operations into the wider European market, which would require us to undertake extensive audits in order to be granted export licenses for European Union countries," comments the Deputy IT Manager. "It is important for us to keep our SAP ERP software current in order to ensure that we can meet the demands of new audits, and that we are well-placed to respond to future opportunities for growth."
The company has been relying on SAP ERP applications to manage its business systems for many years. The validity of data obtained in SAP software has a proven record of being well accepted by auditors and regulators worldwide. As the company grew, it realized that it would be better placed to manage the increased demands placed on its manufacturing systems if it were running the latest version of SAP ERP solutions.
To enable a move to the latest version of SAP ERP software, the company identified that its existing hardware infrastructure lacked the necessary computing power and stability. The company wanted to acquire a new server and storage infrastructure that would fully support its SAP ERP upgrade.
The objectives were to achieve reduced production planning times, faster regulatory approval of associated compliance documents, and faster financial decision making in response to changing sales and market demands.
Flexible, high-performance solution
The IT team evaluated a range of solutions, including offerings from Dell and HP, but was ultimately won over by a proposal from IBM. "After looking at a number of options, we were convinced that IBM offered the best possible solution for our needs," states the Deputy IT Manager.
The company worked with IBM to implement a single IBM BladeCenter S Chassis housing three IBM BladeCenter HS22 blade servers running Red Hat Linux. The BladeCenter S chassis sits in a standard rack, and the chassis can contain up to six blades, offering the company the ability to flexibly increase its server capacity to match business growth.
Each HS22 blade is also equipped with two Intel Xeon 5600 series processors, which improve productivity through intelligent processing performance and maximize energy efficiency by automatically regulating power consumption.
The system's three blade servers support production, backup and domain environments for the company's SAP ERP systems. To maximize the performance and efficiency of its BladeCenter servers, the company also implemented an IBM Intelligent Cluster™ solution.
The BladeCenter technology is attached to an IBM System Storage DS3500 Express device, which stores the company's production data. With its simple, efficient and flexible approach to storage, the DS3500 is a cost-effective, fully integrated complement to the company's IBM BladeCenter servers.
It also supports the company's complete range of data capacity requirements, with high-performance SAS disks for applications and normal speed SATA drives for files, data, and backup. The new server and storage environment will provide a stable platform for SAP ERP software, and will scale to accommodate business growth.
The new SAP ERP applications included modules for Financials and Controlling, Production Planning, Materials Management and Quality Management, which are accessed by some 120 users at the company. The SAP applications help the company to institutionalize compliance across its core processes, and improve efficiencies and quality throughout the manufacturing process.
Boosting integration and process efficiency
Following its SAP ERP upgrade, the company now benefits from even tighter integration and improved management across its range of business processes. Data collected directly from production lines is immediately available for analysis, and is highly detailed and easily verifiable.
The company is able to decrease manufacturing variability and obtain a single view of key information through one system, providing consistent and compliant batch records and reducing the risk of regulatory non-compliance.
"We face a lot of pressures from global regulation and our clients, which makes it essential for us to have excellent visibility and control over our entire production process," remarks the company's Deputy IT Manager. "With SAP ERP, we are well-placed to manage these challenges, as the system is highly integrated and quickly delivers accurate information."
It is much easier and quicker for management to obtain a detailed breakdown of cost structures across its diverse range of products. "We can select a particular batch of medicine and determine exactly how much it costs to produce, for example," explains the Deputy IT Manager.
"We can then compare the results to previous batches, and determine if wastage can be reduced. This improved view of production output allows us to control costs more effectively, and identify where overheads can be reduced or where profit margins can be increased.
"Thanks to the analytics capabilities provided by SAP applications, we have been able to reduce our production costs.
"These savings are vital for us, as the pharmaceuticals market is highly competitive – we need to be able to keep expenses down wherever we can, so we can continue to deliver the same low-cost products to our clients, without sacrificing quality."
Reliable and powerful foundation
With the IBM solution, the company has gained a powerful and secure operating platform to support its SAP ERP software environment.
"We believe that IBM provides the best hardware solutions for running SAP applications," says the Deputy IT Manager. "Our IBM BladeCenter solution has helped us to greatly reduce the complexity of managing our SAP environment by integrating all of our production systems into a single BladeCenter chassis. We have also gained the security of knowing that our key application data is running on a highly stable platform."
The IBM BladeCenter S is designed to deliver high computing power in an energy-efficient package, making it easy and cost-effective for the company to get the most out of its key SAP applications. BladeCenter technology gives the company the flexibility to add up to three more blade servers when they are required.
As the company only needs to manage one central system, it can reduce the amount of time and effort spent by IT staff on administration and maintenance, helping to free up staff for more business-critical tasks.
Running the latest SAP ERP software on IBM BladeCenter enables the company to provide documented proof that correct procedures are consistently followed at each step in the manufacturing process, and that quality standards are kept high. This plays a key role in helping the company to meet its objective of obtaining export licenses for the European Union.
The Deputy IT Manager concludes, "Our combined SAP and IBM solution will allow us to better adhere to a growing number of regulations. It will also give us the flexibility to manage high product complexity and respond faster and more effectively to constantly-changing global demand.
"With SAP software on IBM BladeCenter, we now have a solid foundation that will support the business as it continues to grow, no matter what challenges we might face."

My friend and fellow blogger Jennifer Mendelsohn has a great blog post up today about the prevalence of pre-ordained gender roles. She cites the Land's End catalog pictured above—"pretty & playful for her... rugged & ready for him"—along with other examples. It's no wonder gender stereotypes—like, girls cook and look pretty while boys play football and do math—are so hard to break when they're drilled into our children's heads at such an early age.
Several months ago, I went to buy a card for the parents of a new baby, intent on buying a gender-neutral one. Every single one I saw was either pink and festooned with little bows and flowers or blue and covered with tiny footballs and trucks. This drove me crazy. Finally, I found a yellow card with no specific gender references. It was on the 99-cent rack and it was the last one left.
To me, this falls into the same category of frustration as when adults project adult, sexualized behavior onto toddlers—like calling them girlfriend/boyfriend and accusing them of flirting—which I blogged about here. As I said then, "there is a direct link between this kind of thinking/behavior and six-year-old girls wearing sweatpants that say "JUICY" across the butt. It's just wrong."

Realism creeping into venture capital calculations
The opening party of Boston-based Northbridge Venture Partners' West Coast office in San Mateo, CA could not have come at a more awkward time. With the U.S. stock market sinking fast and rumors of venture capitalists being unable to access funds committed to them, I did not expect the shindig to be a happy affair.
But it was, on the surface at least, with free-flowing wine and sushi, and a crowded new office filled with hopeful entrepreneurs and curious VCs. The giant flat-screen in the conference room was tuned to the Red Sox game, not CNN.

We applaud those positive thoughts, but the chamber's quest to improve student achievement will not end until action is taken. Last year's comprehensive audit of our bureaucratic system must serve as a blueprint for action, not as a dust collector on a shelf in the back room.
We call on elected officials, school board members and West Virginia Department of Education staff to create higher expectations and demand better performance not only from our students, but from our teachers, our administrators, and our entire communities.
Specifically, we need:
* Capable, committed teachers allowed to encourage thinking and not be concerned about just test results, and principals free to be educational leaders, not just paper-pushing disciplinarians.
* Creativity and flexibility that permit local communities to determine the best way to set a school calendar and hire the most qualified teachers.
* Students who receive individualized educational opportunities that allow them to build on their strengths rather than being beaten down by their weaknesses.
The West Virginia Chamber of Commerce has a history of bringing people together to solve complex problems, and we stand ready to work collaboratively again in this case. Regardless, however, we will push for the significant changes necessary to immediately allow both teachers and students to do what they yearn to do: teach and learn.
Roberts is president of the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce.
