* Trial to start in early 2013, enroll 160 patients
* Focus on patients with gene mutations that put them at risk early
* Will test new theory on preventing Alzheimer's
By Ransdell Pierson
NEW YORK, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Experimental Alzheimer's drugs from Roche Holding AG and Eli Lilly & Co have been selected for a high-profile clinical trial to test whether it is possible to prevent the brain-wasting disease from developing in at-risk patients.
The trial, expected to start early next year, will enroll 160 patients worldwide with inherited gene mutations that typically lead to Alzheimer's symptoms when they are as young as in their 30s, Washington University in St. Louis said on Wednesday in announcing the drugs' selection.
Drug studies over the past decade have tried and failed to slow progression of Alzheimer's among patients who already have dementia. The hope is that success in arresting symptoms in patients who are so highly predisposed to develop the disease will show the way to preventing Alzheimer's in a much wider population.
"We're going in with three different drugs, with three different mechanisms of action, to find out which works best," said Dr. Randall Bateman, a neurologist at the Washington University School of Medicine who will lead the trial.
Bateman, in a telephone interview, said about half the patients in the trial will have no symptoms at all when the study begins, while the rest will have very mild symptoms.
Dr. James Galvin, a neurologist at New York University Langone Medical Center, said such a prevention trial involving people at high genetic risk of Alzheimer's disease would require relatively few patients and could produce results within a few years.
"Each family has a genetic mutation with a defined age of onset of disease, so you can start giving the drug a certain number of years before the predicted onset," Gavin said. "If they don't get the diseease by then, you've prevented it or delayed it."
By contrast, he said a prevention trial in the general population might need to last 20 years or longer "because you wouldn't know who will get the disease or be able to predict when."
As many as 5 million people in the United States and 36 million globally are believed to have Alzheimer's, the most common form of dementia. The U.S. figure for people 65 or older may triple by 2050 as the population ages, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
The drugs chosen for the study are Roche's gantenerumab and Lilly's solanezumab. Also under consideration is a second experimental Lilly drug called a beta-secretase inhibitor, designed to reduce the beta amyloid proteins produced by the body and slow the accumulation of toxic brain plaques linked to Alzheimer's.
An experimental treatment from Pfizer Inc and Johnson & Johnson, called bapineuzumab, did not make the cut after data from two large trials presented over the summer showed it failed to help patients with mild to moderate symptoms.
Researchers in August said Lilly's solanezumab also failed to prevent decline in cognitive and physical function among patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's in two large late-stage studies. The drug, a monoclonal antibody similar to bapineuzumab, attacks beta amyloid.
But hopes for solanezumab were revived on Monday when Lilly said an analysis of pooled data from the two studies showed solanezumab led to a 34 percent reduction in memory decline for patients with mild symptoms over a period of 18 months. It said the change was statistically significant.
Wall Street analysts expect Lilly will seek marketing approval from the drug, but will likely need to first complete a large costly new trial among patients with mild symptoms to win over health regulators.
Roche began a late-stage study of gantenerumab in late 2010 for patients who have yet to develop dementia, and expects results in 2015. The Swiss drugmaker has high hopes for the drug because previous brain scan tests have shown it can reduce amyloid plaques in the brain.
Shares of Lilly, which had gained more than 7 percent since its latest solanezumab data were unveiled on Monday, fell 3 percent to close at ${esc.dollar}50.23 on Wednesday. Shares of Roche fell 1.2 percent amid a 0.8 percent decline in the ARCA Pharmaceutical Index of large U.S. and European drugmakers.
The new prevention trial will be led by the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer's Network Trials Unit (DIAN TU) at Washington University in St Louis. The unit's work is supported by the DIAN, a federally funded collaboration of Alzheimer's research centers, the Alzheimer's Association and a consortium of 10 drugmakers.

Grounds for Absolute Divorce
To obtain an absolute divorce, one spouse must first prove that at least one "ground" (a legally accepted reason) for absolute divorce exists. The grounds for absolute divorce are in the Maryland Code, Family Law § 7-103. If you are considering divorce, a lawyer can help you decide which grounds fit your particular situation.
Read the law: Md. Code, Family Law § 7-103
No Fault vs. Fault Grounds for Divorce
There are two types of grounds: a "no fault" ground for divorce, and grounds based on the "fault" of a spouse. A lawyer can help you determine whether you should base your divorce on a fault ground.
What's the difference?
- Some fault grounds don't require a waiting period and allow you to obtain a divorce immediately.
- A fault ground can be one of several factors in determining the right to alimony (financial support that one spouse pays the other) or how the court divides marital property.
- A no-fault divorce always requires that you have been separated for a full year before filing.
- A fault ground does not usually affect custody, but it can be one of many factors considered by the court if the fault ground is harmful to the children.
To obtain a fault-based divorce, you will have to prove that your spouse acted in certain ways. The fault grounds include: adultery, desertion, imprisonment for a crime, insanity, cruelty of treatment, and excessively vicious conduct. (This article discusses each of these grounds in more detail below.)
If you can't prove a fault-based ground for divorce, you may still be eligible to file for divorce based on the "no fault" ground of 12-month separation (see below). You may claim more than one ground for divorce when you file.
Residency & Corroboration
In order for a judge in Maryland to hear the case, the grounds for the divorce must have occurred in Maryland, or at least one of the parties must have resided in Maryland for at least 1 year before filing.
No matter what grounds are stated, the court cannot base the divorce on your and your spouse's testimony alone. You must bring someone to court with you who has personal knowledge about your situation and who will testify about it, or you must present other evidence that proves the ground you are claiming.
Read the law: Md. Code, Family Law § 7-101.
12-Month Separation
12-month separation is the only "no fault" ground for absolute divorce. Before filing for divorce, the spouses must have lived separate and apart without cohabitation (living together or having sexual relations) for 12 months without interruption. You can file for divorce based on 12-month separation even if your spouse does not consent to the divorce.
The rest of the grounds for divorce are fault-based grounds.
Adultery is voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person other than the offender's spouse. If a party claims and proves that his or her spouse committed adultery, the court will grant the divorce immediately.
The sexual intercourse necessary for adultery must involve some penetration of the female organ by the male organ, but a "completion" of the sexual intercourse is not required.
To prove adultery, you do not need to show actual intercourse. You must prove that the offender had the disposition and opportunity for intercourse outside of the marriage.
- Examples of an adulterous "disposition": Public displays of affection, such as hand-holding, kissing, and hugging, between the guilty spouse and the non-spouse.
- Example of an adulterous "opportunity": Proving that your spouse was seen entering the non-spouse's apartment alone at 11 p.m. and not coming out until 8 a.m. the following morning.
If you can't prove both disposition and opportunity, your claim of adultery is mere speculation.
It is not enough for your spouse to simply admit the adultery. However, if the offending spouse is the husband and a child is born outside of the marriage, this is usually enough to prove a claim of adultery.
Adultery may be a factor in determining the right to alimony (support that one spouse pays the other). It may be a factor in awarding custody of the children only if the court determines that the adulterous behavior had a detrimental (harmful) effect on the children.
Desertion is a "fault" ground for divorce, and therefore may be a factor in the award of alimony and custody. Desertion may be actual or "constructive."
Generally, in actual desertion, the deserting spouse abandons the marital home without justification. In "constructive" desertion, the person who leaves is justified and the court will consider the leaving spouse the deserted one.
To prove actual desertion, the spouse seeking the divorce must prove the following:
- The deserting spouse intended to end the marriage;
- Cohabitation (living together or having sexual intercourse) has ended;
- The deserter's leaving was not justified;
- The parties are beyond any reasonable hope of reconciliation (making up);
- The deserted spouse did not consent to the desertion; and,
- The desertion has continued uninterrupted for 12 months.
A lawyer can best help determine whether these elements are present.
Constructive Desertion
Technically, "constructive" desertion also requires proof of the above elements. The most common justification for constructive desertion is cruelty. If a spouse's actions cause the other spouse to leave the home, the court may consider the spouse who remained in the home to have deserted the relationship because of how he or she acted.
In cases involving constructive desertion, the court will take into account the following factors:
- The nature and duration of the misconduct;
- The length of time the leaving spouse endured the misconduct; and
- What attempts the leaving spouse made to try to save the marriage.
Generally, the court will allow the spouse to leave and obtain a divorce for "constructive" desertion if remaining to the home would make them lose their self-respect or put them or their children in danger of either physical or mental harm.
If you are considering leaving the home, before you leave, make sure you consider the following:
- Does your spouse's conduct justify your leaving? If not, he or she may be able to get a divorce against you for actual desertion (and potentially be awarded alimony and child custody). Consider consulting a lawyer before leaving the home. Finding Legal Help
- If you want to seek a divorce for a "fault" based reason, such as your spouse's adultery or constructive desertion – the court will not grant it to you if you are also at fault (for example if you commit actual desertion without justification). Will your own conduct prevent you from getting a divorce on a fault-based ground?
Practical considerations:
- Do you have somewhere to go?
- If you are thinking of taking the children with you, will you be able to meet their needs alone?
- Even if you are entitled to alimony or other money from your spouse, it may take a long time to receive those funds.
If your spouse has left the home without cause and you want to use actual desertion as a ground for divorce, remember the following:
- Once your spouse has left, you must not have sexual relations with your spouse. A single act of intercourse or a night spent together under the same roof will interrupt the 12-month continuous desertion requirement and will also violate the requirement of no cohabitation.
- You must not consent to your spouse's desertion. If you consent, it is not desertion but rather voluntary separation, a ground for divorce not involving "fault." There is a difference between consenting and giving in to something you cannot avoid. "Giving in to" and accepting the desertion will probably not be considered consent.
- You must not be guilty of any misconduct that would justify the desertion.
- If your situation does not meet the requirements for desertion, you may still be able to obtain a "no fault" divorce if you have lived separate and apart without cohabitation for 12 months.
What if your spouse deserts you but then returns?
If your spouse begs you to forgive and forget in good faith, you have the option to either accept or refuse him or her. In Maryland, the issue is settled if you accept the deserter.
However, if you refuse to even see or listen to your returning spouse, then your spouse could obtain a divorce against you for desertion. The waiting period would start all over again, beginning with the time of your refusal.
"Good faith" is the most important determining factor. For example, if your spouse deserted you and then tried to return, only after realizing what the high costs of alimony and legal fees would be, your spouse's return would not have been made in "good faith."
Cruelty of Treatment and Excessively Vicious Conduct
A spouse's cruel treatment can be a ground for divorce where the conduct endangers the life or health of the other person or their minor child, and makes cohabitation (living together) unsafe. Often, physical abuse is involved.
A single act of cruelty can be a ground of divorce if it shows the party intends to do serious bodily harm or is severe enough to threaten serious danger in the future.
Cruelty as a ground for divorce can also include mental abuse. The spouse's conduct must show that he or she planned to seriously impair the health or permanently destroy the happiness of the other person or their minor child. The cruel conduct puts the other person's safety or health in danger, or causes that person to think that their safety or health is in danger, to the point that it is physically or mentally impossible for the person to stay in the marriage. There must be no reasonable expectation of reconciliation (making up).
Marital neglect, rudeness, and using profane and abusive language do not constitute cruelty or excessively vicious conduct. Usually, a pattern of serious domestic violence or other severe actions are required for these grounds of divorce.
There is no waiting period for these grounds – a party may file for divorce based on cruelty of treatment or excessively vicious conduct right away.
Conviction of a Crime
To obtain a divorce based on conviction of a crime, you must show that:
• Your spouse was convicted of a crime; and
• Your spouse has received a jail sentence of over 3 years (or an indeterminate sentence); and
• Your spouse has been imprisoned for 12 months at the time of filing.
Permanent and incurable insanity is a ground for divorce. For insanity to be considered permanently incurable:
- A person must have been confined in a mental institution, hospital, or other institution for at least three years; and
- At least two physicians competent in psychiatry must testify that the insanity is permanently incurable. Remember, you may also be able to obtain a divorce after 12 months of separation (see above).
If your spouse is not competent, you may need to ask the court to appoint a guardian.
Defenses to an Absolute Divorce
For fault-based grounds, an offending spouse can claim certain defenses. If he or she is successful in the defense, the court will not grant the divorce on a fault-based ground. The defenses to fault-based divorce include:
- Condonation - The offending spouse claims that the other spouse forgave their bad conduct.
- Recrimination - The offending spouse claims that the other spouse also behaved badly rising to the level of a fault ground. (The two wrongs cancel out the fault-based divorce.)
Unless the other side can prove the grounds for divorce, the court may decide not to award the divorce.

I've been having a craving for pancakes. Due to a sinus infection and headaches, I haven't been out of the house since Saturday and I'M ABOUT TO GO OUT OF MY FREAKING MIND!
I won't be going out today, either, due to work teleconf through lunch.
There not much snow here near KC; a light dusting. Most snow is just blown further east due to the constant wind out of Colorado.
I get cabin-fever easily.Mr. Barkley's getting gray!
We seem to be playing ping-pong with the weather. Yours gets warm and mine plunges to sub-zeroes. You get snow and ours is now melting at a great rate.
Actually, if you like it so much you can have all of ours. S&H would be on you, though, with no right of return!- Bruce B.January 28, 2009 at 9:18 PM
The 2nd picture today confirms my supposition about your "Outside again?" captioned picture in the sidebar. Looks like Barkley loves to play in the snow.
Thanks for the great pictures
Like Crucis I'm down with a bad sinus infection and the only marks in the snow outside are my footprints made when retrieving the mail. - AnonymousJanuary 29, 2009 at 10:48 PM
Barclay looks like he is havin' fun.
Nice photos all.
Snow days are the best!
Mike Yeasted Waffles
Serves 4
Adapted from A Real American Breakfast, Cheryl Alters Jamison and Bill Jamison
10 oz all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon instant yeast
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled until warm
2 cups warm milk (whole, low-fat, and skim are all fine)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs, separated
1. The night before your morning wafflepalooza, mix the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and stir until well combined. Stir in the milk and vanilla, cover with foil or plastic wrap, and leave overnight at room temperature.
2. By the morning, the batter will have developed a creamy head like a pint of Guinness. Stir in the egg yolks. Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks and fold gently into the batter with a spatula.
3. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto a scrupulously preheated and greased waffle iron. This batter expands more than most, so err on the side of too little batter. With practice, you'll be able to get a fully-realized waffle with minimal leakage. Cook five minutes or so, depending on the strength of your waffler.
Note: In the March 2004 issue, Cook's Illustrated offered their own yeasted waffle recipe. In certain ways it makes more sense than this one. The batter spends the night in the fridge, allowing the yeast to work slowly and patiently, so there's no need to resuscitate with egg whites in the morning. When I want a yeasted waffle, though, I want the sour tang given off by exhausted yeast, and I haven't come across a better formula than the preceding recipe.
I started this blog so the child I gave up for adoption could get to know me, and in turn, her children, as well as share stories for a family that lives too far away. So please keep it friendly, kid safe, and open to discussion, not criticism. This is my home. You can live in yours as you wish, but this is my place.

In late October 2011, PacifiCorp took the first steps to remove the 98-year-old Condit Dam from the White Salmon River. At 125 feet, Condit Dam will be the second-highest dam removal project in the United States, following the Elwha dam, where deconstruction began in late September.
The White Salmon River, a river that was blocked to salmon, steelhead and bull trout, is now free-flowing and filled with lush habitat for swimming and spawning. The October breaching is just the beginning of a year-long project to set the White Salmon River free. This spring, the dam was carefully dismantled as onlookers waited for the river to slowly come back to life.

A Debate Between Souls
page: 1

posted on Jul, 12 2004 @ 10:51 PM
So I had this interesting conversation. Anyone care to comment?
Adapt Or Di3: i have a question, actually
NO: okay
Adapt Or Di3: in the common judeo-christian mentality, heaven, as tought to kids, is in the stars, surrounding earth..but is it just that we can not see it, or is it not there? lately, i've felt as if heaven is just..another dimension, you know? where your soul can only go..it has no matter in this world, and can not be sought until death
NO: and you're right. heaven is only seen through Jesus, and you can only go there after you die, or God takes you in some way. it cant be seen by us unless God allows it
NO: where did that question come from?
Adapt Or Di3: i don't know, i'm kinda contemplating things recently
Adapt Or Di3: i've been sick, in bed, so i've had a lot of time to think
NO: yeah, are you feeling better?
NO: contemplating things, such as...christianity?
Adapt Or Di3: no, i'm thinking about heading to the hospital tomorrow
Adapt Or Di3: my doctor thinks its pneumonia
NO: oh, well i hope you get better soon! :-\
Adapt Or Di3: spiritualism
NO: ahh i see
Adapt Or Di3: i've been thinking about god, life, missing parts
NO: yeah
Adapt Or Di3: somewhere, somehow, this all has to tie together and make sense
NO: glad you're making that connection, ha.
NO: any other questions?
Adapt Or Di3: are you christian or catholic
NO: there's not a difference. catholics are part of christianity. it's just that some catholics try to separate them to make themselves look better.
Adapt Or Di3: there are a lot of differences, it sees..not in beliefs, but in politics of the church
Adapt Or Di3: seems*
NO: well i know that
NO: but catholics are christians...if you follow Christ you are a christian no matter what denomination
Adapt Or Di3: so what am i?
NO: do you follow Christ?
Adapt Or Di3: more or less
NO: well, then you are a considered a christian.
NO: but you have to be stronger about it, like. you have to have a relationship with God to get to heaven. it's not just one of those things that you can just say and then it's over.
Adapt Or Di3: okay, let's say the christians are right about everything..where does that leave the jews, muslims, buddhists, and others? do they go to hell because they chose wrong?
NO: i think so, because they had the opportunity to hear the truth, but they rejected it.
Adapt Or Di3: okay, but what if the buddhists are right, and we go to hell
NO: how can they be right?? what is the backbone to their religion. their god didnt exsist.
Adapt Or Di3: but two buddhists can have the same conversation we're having, and claim that our god doesn't exist
NO: but there are historic recordings of Jesus' life.
Adapt Or Di3: there are historic readings of buddha's life, of abraham's life
NO: ...abraham followed God.
NO: and the jews are right to an extent until they say that Jesus is not the messiah.
Adapt Or Di3: then let's stick with the buddhists
Adapt Or Di3: there are historic facts proving buddha did exist
Adapt Or Di3: they're just older
NO: but are there facts stating he died for his people? that he rose again? that he performed miracles?
NO: like..i dont want to come off as mean or anything..just trying to understand why you're questioning all of this.
Adapt Or Di3: because Christ is shown in the bible as a man who forgives..but he'll deny millions of people entrance to salvation, because they chose wrong. yeah, they decided not to follow him, but if he is forgiving, he'd give them another chance before judgement, am i right? forgivnance doesn't just stop at a certain time, it has to be infinite.
Adapt Or Di3: the way it's set up, then, is that everything ebfore christ, everyone in ancient rome who believed in many gods, went to hell when they died
NO: would you still love and forgive someone who has rejected you all their lives?
Adapt Or Di3: so heaven was empty for billions of years?
NO: ...wow. tough question.
Adapt Or Di3: no, but i don't say i'm the son of god with infinite forgiveness
NO: you have to repent and turn from whatever you were doing wrong. not just say you're sorry.
Adapt Or Di3: but if a muslim dies, goes to the gates of heaven, and repents, would jesus let him in? despite following the wrong god their entire life?
NO: no, because they had probably sinned all their lives. you have to have the blood of Jesus covering your life.
Adapt Or Di3: then that's not infinite forgiveness
NO: give me a sec.
Adapt Or Di3: okay.
NO: no. they had their chance to hear God's message, and they refused it. i think they knew in their heart of hearts that he was the way. but they didnt follow him. but i know as long as we are on this earth, he will forgive us no matter what.
Adapt Or Di3: okay, but lucifer, satan, whatever you wish to call him, was an angel who was under the love of god, obviously. he was an angel, and he was cast away, without forgiveness
NO: God gave him every chance to repent. he wouldnt do it.
Adapt Or Di3: but even when he did whatever he did to be castaway, he was still under the love of god, so it should have been forgiven anyway

Jesus freed us from hell by teaching us how to develop our minds into a union with perfection. That is the secret teaching. Hell is the state you enter if you do not achieve this spiritual union.
That is why they said that before Christ came, men were all held in bondage of hell. It is true, the door of our minds was shut to the greater Glory. Christ opened it, and made a way for us to escape this material universe and death.
Take it as you will, that is the faith of the full-grown Christian.
posted on Jul, 21 2004 @ 12:33 AM
What would you like us to comment on in particular?
I dont know any of this for sure, just giving you my opinion
The bible says that if you do not accept christ into your heart as the messiah, that you will goto hell.
The Jews, the buddhists, the muslims, and every other non-Judeochristian on Earth.
But the interesting part is that they are allowed to say the EXACT same thing about all the non-jews, non-buddhists, or non-muslims of the world. Its all a matter of perspective, as is almost everything in this world. Just have to have faith that the one you have chosen is the right one.
(Although, I have considered the possibility that there is one God, and each religion just has a different name/story for him... but any acknowledgement of a force greater than yourself constitutes worshipping "God", etc etc)
I was always taught that before Jesus came, everyone went to Hell/wherever, but after Jesus came, people had a chance to goto heaven.

"Oz: The Great and Powerful" imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking-that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity-and even a bit of wizardry-Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.

Cory Monteith Died of "Heroin And Alcohol" – CORONER REPORT (VIDEO)
By Michael Lewittes | 4:50 pm, July 16th, 2013
VIDEOThe initial autopsy into the death of Cory Monteith was completed on Tuesday, and the preliminary results show that the "Glee" star died of "a mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol," says the British Columbia Coroners Service.
"Post-mortem testing, which included an autopsy and toxicological analysis, found that Mr. Monteith, aged 31, died of a mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol," reads the official report.
It continues, "Mr. Monteith was found deceased in his room at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, shortly after noon on July 13. He had checked into the hotel on July 6 and had been expected to check out on the 13th. When he had not done so, hotel staff checked his room and found him deceased."
"The investigation into this death by the BC Coroners Service is continuing, and no other details are available at this time. It should be noted that at this point there is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith's death was anything other than a most-tragic accident," says the coroner. "When the investigation is concluded, a Coroners Report will be issued."
Monteith's family was notified of the results ahead of the media.

Jorge Vazquez is a 30 year-old who played in the Mexican League for years and has never sniffed the majors. But because he hit 32 home runs at Scranton last year, a lot of Yankees fans thought he might be a good fit for New York's DH slot since it was in flux and all.
Not to be: the Yankees just released him.
Sad jams if you're into that kind of power, but given his age and the fact that those bombs came with a mere .314 OBP in AAA, it was probably crazy to think he was part of the solution, even if he was kind of fun to think about.

I thought he should have made the team out of Spring Training last season. Even though he's righty, I think he could have done some damage in Yankees Stadium. And I think he could have hit for the same average that the other Jorge did.

Li & Fung says disasters, like Rana Plaza, can be prevented |
The apparel industry and its supply chain have experienced "profound change" and "significant action" following recent factory tragedies in Bangladesh, according to Rick Darling, executive director of government & public affairs at Li & Fung. Speaking in London this week, he discussed the industry's efforts to improve factory safety, the role played by manufacturers, retailers and authorities, and the increasing need for transparency.
Rick Darling describes as "profound" the changes that have taken place in the apparel industry and its supply chain since the Tazreen Fashion fire in November 2012 and the collapse of the Rana Plaza building six months later, which together claimed the lives of more than 1,200 people.
"The recognition after Tazreen was that fires can't be prevented but evacuation plans and getting people out can be. Education is the low hanging fruit, something we can do relatively quickly and safely.
"And then Rana Plaza took place. This was a complete change for the industry and not just in Bangladesh.
"When you look at a scene of 1,100 people dying, a building that collapsed making apparel for some of the biggest retailers and brands in the world. It just became untenable."
"The action taking place since then, albeit in some cases relatively small, has been significant and I have seen the industry move together to improve the situation," he told delegates at the Retail Week Live event.
Following Rana Plaza, initiatives such as the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh, and the Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety were set up with global fashion retailers and brands to improve improve working conditions in the country.
The Accord covers 1,600 factories in Bangladesh and more than 2m workers - over half of the Bangladeshi garment workforce - while the Alliance covers nearly 700 factories and around 1.28m workers.
However, slow progress in carrying out plans to inspect Bangladeshi ready-made garment factories for fire, building and electrical safety is one of the main criticisms levelled at the initiatives.
But Darling points out that ultimately the task is substantial, and one that will take time.
"We'd all like to have done this more quickly, but we have to bear in mind that the Alliance and Accord were formed two months after Rana Plaza collapsed. It was a major effort to organise and get the proper governance in place...it took tremendous resources.
"It's frustrating because many, of course, would like to see the inspections finished by now, but there are 3,500 factories in Bangladesh that export. We are extending, as an industry, teams to do structural evaluations on these buildings...things we never would dream in our lives as an industry we would be responsible for doing. Getting that organised has been a mammoth task."
For Li & Fung, some of that work has involved the reorganisation earlier this year of its factory support services into a new business unit. The idea is that it will focus more intensely on improving factory and worker safety in the garment industry.
Darling says the Alliance and the Accord "have done all they can" to get things moving as quickly as possible.
The Accord last week announced it had begun safety inspections on more than 1,500 garment factories supplying a group of mainly European retailers. Both the Accord and the Alliance have committed to finishing the inspections by July.
Government contribution
Darling also believes that the authorities have a greater role to play in ensuring worker safety and compensation in the wake of disasters.
"Rana Plaza basically pointed out that globally, in these emerging economies, governments, for the most part, haven't necessarily done their job in creating safe environments for workers," he says.
"Let's be clear about this, I don't think brands and retailers were ever really constituted to actually do structural inspections of the buildings they were working in. They just don't have the capacity.
"After Rana Plaza, the industry took the position: "We can't wait for them [the government] to get that capacity. We are committed to Bangladesh like we are committed to a lot of emerging markets".
He adds: "The decision was made to step in for the next five years, at least, and do what the government should have been doing."
Darling concedes that part of that effort is helping the government build capacity, but suggests this effort cannot be sustained for the next 15-20 years.
"Part of the next five years is getting these factories safe and...building capacity for the government to come in and replace this effort."
Retail commitment
Darling says retailers are "individually passionate" about getting it right.
"None of us in the industry want to wake up again and find out in a factory we are working with making $3-$4 T-shirts, that 1,100 people have died. These are disasters we can prevent and there is a tremendous amount of passion from retailers to get this right and Bangladesh is the start."
Darling says the focus right now is on Bangladesh due to the urgency of the issues -but suggests the initiatives could be mirrored in other markets.
"The important thing will be how these retailers react once Bangladesh has got the progress going. But nobody wants to get distracted right now.
"There is a lot of change taking place. Bangladesh is going from a very low base, but the message we are giving to other emerging markets is, don't sit back and think you've got another 10-15 years to get this right, you need to get it right in the next 24 months if you expect western brands to embrace the country."
The Tazreen and Rana Plaza disasters have also served to highlight the sheer complexity of the apparel supply chain and the challenge of making it more transparent and accountable.
"The reality is, the garment supply chain is complicated and our studies show there are five to six second- and third-tier suppliers to every factory we use. In the case of Li & Fung, we are active in 15,000 factories, which means there are probably another 75,000 factories that touch those factories. So, is it complicated? Absolutely."
Darling suggests the use of technology will, in a short period of time, "push people" towards a solution, but adds: "It's complex and it may not be something that can be done in 6 or 12 months.
"There's no light switch, but we're past the idea we can't provide transparency, that's not an excuse anymore."
Local sourcing
Despite the safety issues in emerging economies like Bangladesh, Darling questions whether the tide really is turning back towards domestic sourcing.
"There is an interesting discussion taking place. There is a desire, partly political, and maybe some business desire, to believe the garment industry might come back to the developed economies. On a personal basis, I think it's unrealistic, I don't think it's going to happen."
He points to US retail behemoth Wal-Mart, which has been open about its desire to invest more in the Western hemisphere and build facilities in the US. However, he adds that, in the end, it will come down to labour.
"Labour rates around the world are significantly less than they are in the US or Europe and, from a job creation standpoint, any of the factories being created in these developed economies are almost fully operated. Building an underwear factory in North Carolina sounds really sexy until you realise it takes 80 people to run it.
"It doesn't necessarily get the job done. I'm not a big believer that a significant amount of production will come back into Europe or the US."

This title in other editionsVoyager: Seeking Newer Worlds in the Third Great Age of Discoveryby Stephen J. Pyne
Review-A-Day"Several years after their launch in 1977, the twin spacecraft Voyager 1 and 2 flung themselves past Jupiter, using the giant planet's gravity as a booster rocket. Thanks to this innovation of orbital mechanics — and a once-in-176-years alignment of the planets — Saturn and even Uranus and Neptune lay within reach." Eric Hand, The Wilson Quarterly (Read the entire Wilson Quarterly review) Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A brilliant new account of the Voyager space program-its history, scientific impact, and cultural legacy Launched in 1977, the two unmanned Voyager spacecraft have completed their Grand Tour to the four outer planets, and they are now on course to become the first man-made objects to exit our solar system. To many, this remarkable achievement is the culmination of a golden age of American planetary exploration, begun in the wake of the 1957 Sputnik launch. More than this, Voyager may be one of the purest expressions of exploration in human history. For more than five hundred years the West has been powered by the impulse to explore, to push into a wider world. In this highly original book, Stephen Pyne recasts Voyager in the tradition of Magellan, Columbus, Cook, Lewis and Clark, and other landmark explorers. The Renaissance and Enlightenment-the First and Second Ages of Discovery- sent humans across continents and oceans to find new worlds. In the Third Age, expeditions have penetrated the Antarctic ice, reached the floors of the oceans, and traveled to the planets by new means, most spectacularly via semi-autonomous robot. Voyager probes how the themes of motive and reward are stunningly parallel through all three ages. Voyager, which gave us the first breathtaking images of Jupiter and Saturn, changed our sense of our own place in the universe. Review:"'The saga of the Voyagers' trek is carrying the inherited narrative of exploration to its outer limits,' writes environmental historian Pyne (How the Canyon Became Grand). By looking at the mission of Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 and comparing it with past voyages of discovery on Earth, Pyne offers a unique and engrossing history of the Western world's love affair with such journeys. The two space probes were launched on a 'Grand Tour' of space in 1977; both are still traveling and returning data to Earth, with Voyager 2 leaving the solar system. Pyne calls the Voyager mission the hallmark of a 'Third Great Age of Discovery,' similar to ambitious seagoing expeditions in the 16th and 18th centuries. As with those earlier journeys, Voyager was motivated by a mix of desires: military, political, economic, and a love of pure discovery. By narrating both the Voyagers and past voyages — such as Henry the Navigator's — Pyne captures the Western passion for exploration and the lure of the unknown, while relating the fascinating story of two fragile spacecraft continuing after three decades their brave quest across space and time. Illus. (July 26) " Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Synopsis:"Blooms with such glorious rushes of exalted prose that I was dog- earing almost every page." --The New York Times Book Review As debate over the future of NASA heats up, award-winning author Stephen J. Pyne presents America's greatest space expeditions as the latest chapter in a continuous saga of discovery that goes back centuries. Pyne's luminous narrative not only recounts the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 missions, launched in 1977 to explore the outer planets, but also fixes their place in Western civilization's urge to explore-an impulse that links NASA's scientists with Magellan, Columbus, Cook, Lewis and Clark, and other intrepid seekers through the ages. Pyne's eye-opening look at what he calls the third age of discovery "reminds readers of the rich cultural history that underlies humankind's exploration of the cosmos" (Science News). About the AuthorStephen J. Pyne is a Regents Professor in the School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University. An award-winning environmental historian, he is the author of Year of the Fires, The Ice and How the Canyon Became Grand. He is the recipient of the Robert Kirsch Award from the Los Angeles Times. He lives in Glendale, Arizona.
