Exosomes could lead to less invasive, earlier detection of cancer, and sharply boost patients' odds of survival.
Researchers pinpoint mechanism for aroma formation in wineOctober 3, 2014 9:35 am | News | Comments
The majority of wines are produced from around 20 different types of grape, all of which have their own typical aroma. This is due to the terpenes, a diverse category of chemical substances including cholesterol and estrogen. Scientists have now identified two enzymes that determine the terpene content, and thus the aroma intensity, of grapes. The findings could play an important role in the future development of grape varieties.

Fat molecules influence form, function of key photosynthesis proteinSeptember 30, 2014 7:48 am | by Elizabeth K. Gardner, Purdue Univ. | News | Comments
A mysterious space within a protein critical to photosynthesis is filled with fat molecules that influence both the protein's architecture and electrical properties, according to two recent studies. Researchers studied the atomic structure of, and electrical interactions within, the cytochrome bf complex, a protein complex central to the transport of electrons within membranes of a plant cell, a critical step in photosynthesis.
Cell sorting method separates 10 billion cells in 30 minutesSeptember 26, 2014 9:42 am | News | Comments
Almost all of today's previously existing cell-sorting methods rely on what is called a single-cell analysis platform. A researcher in Hawaii took a different approach, inventing a bulk method that sorts different cell populations by tuning their solubility. Instead of targeting individual features, the measurement principle sorts cells by differentiating their characteristic surface free energies.

Technology tracks tiniest pollutants in real timeSeptember 26, 2014 8:23 am | by Brett Israel, Georgia Institute of Technology | News | Comments
Researchers may soon have a better idea of how tiny particles of pollution are formed in the atmosphere. These particles, called aerosols, are hazardous to human health and contribute to climate change, but researchers know little about how their properties are shaped by chemical reactions in the atmosphere. Unraveling this chemistry could someday lead to more effective policies to protect human health and the Earth's climate.
Clues to how people bounce back from surgerySeptember 25, 2014 10:48 am | News | Comments
One of the big frustrations of surgery is that little indicates whether the patient is a fast or slow healer, someone who feels normal in a week or is out of work for a month with lingering pain and fatigue. Now Stanford Univ. researchers have discovered that right after surgery, patients' blood harbors clues about how fast they'll bounce back. And it has to do with the activity of certain immune cells that play a key role in healing.

Summer's Here - Dinner at Sundown, Outside with a Beer
First, I'll start off with a little about myself. I love to be active with (and sometimes without!) my family and friends. Sometimes I find myself committing to too many activities, but there are so many things I enjoy doing, I make time for it all. The full list is too long for here, but the most important include: • Swimming in my sister's pool with my 2 sisters and my 4 nieces and nephews - my nieces and nephews are the ONLY people allowed to call me 'Jeffrey.' • Volunteering for the Medford-Somerville Relay for Life - the American Cancer Society's largest grassroots fundraiser. This is really important to me. • Weekly tennis matches in a doubles league - would love to find a mixed doubles partner; Summer Softball league - I pitch, I try to protect my face as best I can; and 6am Fitness Bootcamps - only during times I can get myself up at 5am, which isn't that often - otherwise it's the gym, or even running steps at Harvard Stadium. Ever try that? A little nuts. • Going to all sporting events, most notably Celtics games, which I have season tickets for - I've had a beer at every bar within a 20 minute walk from the Garden. • Live Music at all venues in and around Boston. I've met a diverse group of friends all over the country, so I always have a friend to call no matter where I am. I'll sing Karaoke too, and I swear I'm good. Really. Good. I'm sure of it. I enjoy the connections I have with the people I work with, play sports with do charity work with. I have built so many strong relationships with friends and family throughout my life, I'd like to find that ONE special person who I can share my life with. Someone who has similar interests to me, but that will challenge me to learn new things and get me out of my comfort zone. There's not much I won't at least try (I hate heights, you'll have to push me), so surprise me! That's why I'm here, to meet new people, experience new marvels, and maybe meet the ONE. Are you here? There's a whole lot more to me that I'd like to share. Send me a message and I'll tell you more...

I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
At some point in my life I would like to have a dog, but only when I settle down more and cut back on some of my activities
Middle of the Road
I love New Orleans, spending time in Florida and anywhere warm and sunny, and visiting my mother in North Carolina. Locally, I like going out around North Station, Mass Ave in Cambridge, and certain spots in Brookline
I like most live music. I enjoy mostly reality-type TV (wide spectrum), but also like Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Shameless, and others. I love good food and I enjoy cooking, especially cooking for people. I love entertaining now that I have a house.
See my 'about me' section. I play many sports and enjoy all types of games. I really like doing anything that's fun, and there's a lot that I think is fun.
The last book I read was Andre Agassi's autobiography (I'm don't read many books). I enjoy reading Rolling Stone Magazine as well as any pop culture magazine that may be lying around.

Correction: Security Guard Shooting story
Corkins had recently been volunteering at a D.C. community center for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. He lived with his parents in Herndon, Va., and appearing in court Thursday with what looked to be a black or swollen eye, told a federal magistrate that he had only $300.
Prosecutors requested a mental health evaluation, and Corkins' public defender did not address the allegations in court.
Corkins faces charges of assault with intent to kill and bringing firearms across state. The judge ordered him held pending a hearing next week. Corkins was otherwise silent during the hearing and stared ahead impassively.
His parents have also not commented, but they told FBI agents that their son "has strong opinions with respect to those he believes do not treat homosexuals in a fair manner."
The assault charge carries up to 30 years in prison and the weapons charge has a 10-year maximum sentence.
Corkins attended George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., between 2005 and 2007 as part of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences but did not graduate. He earlier attended Grace Brethren Christian School near Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington.
The shooting was condemned by President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, as well as gay and lesbian advocacy groups and conservative organizations.
But there was no swift sign of reconciliation across the ideological spectrum.
"Perkins cannot be allowed to exploit the sympathy rightfully generated by this inexcusable crime to whitewash his group's ongoing anti-gay activities. If the FRC wants to stop being labeled a hate group, it must stop doing and saying hateful things," Wayne Besen, the founding executive director of Truth Wins Out, a non-profit group that fights anti-gay sentiment, said in a statement.
Authorities believe Corkins parked his car at a northern Virginia Metro station and used public transportation to get downtown. An open black box resembling a gun box was found on the car's passenger seat, an affidavit said. Corkins used a Sig Sauer 9mm pistol that was legally bought and owned, said Richard Marianos, special agent in charge of the ATF's Washington field office.
The guard, Leonardo "Leo" Johnson, 46, was resting comfortably at a hospital Thursday morning. He told WJLA-TV that Corkins claimed he had come to the council's office to interview for an internship.
Johnson's mother, Virginia Johnson, said she had not been to visit him but had spoken to him by phone.
"He said he feels very well," she said in a brief interview. "I am proud of him, very proud of him."

27 year old woman | Durham, NC, USA | Seeking men 28-33 within 50 miles
When the salt air catches ahold of that sail, something about it makes her just wanna dance . . and she looooves to dance.
Well hello :) My name is Kaci. I am originally from the Eastern Shore of Virginia, but I've been in North Carolina for several years now. I did my undergrad @ East Carolina University, and I am now at Duke University in the Acute Care Nurse Practitioner program. I graduate in May and will then complete residency over the summer. By trade, I am an ER nurse, and I am blessed to have been able to continue working part time during grad school. I absolutely love to travel. I had the pleasure of being raised just minutes away from the beach, and naturally, I am happiest with my toes in the sand. Outside of the continental U.S., I have been to Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, Aruba, and Hawaii. Honestly, that list is entirely too short for my liking, and I am counting down to the chance to add to this list! I am completely in love with New York City, and if given the opportunity, I'd go there tomorrow. Complete nerd - you probably won't find me without a book in my hand. I think reading enriches the mind, and I'm always up for learning something new. I love being mentally stimulated, and I am fortunate to have a career that enables me to constantly learn. Fitness is a big deal to me. While I absolutely love a pickup game of basketball or a good volleyball match, running has become a huge part of my life over the last two years. I thoroughly enjoy competing in charity races. I just recently completed my 1st half marathon in November. I want someone who also cares a great deal about their health and fitness. Oh - and I'm a HUGE football and basketball fan. NY Giants, Brooklyn Nets, and Duke basketball. I have been so very fortunate in the number of basketball games I have attended during my time at Duke. Coach K has my utmost respect. I'm also a strong believer in Christ, and my ideal "match" will also share the Christian faith! So, there it is!
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports

Midday hordes gathered outside its plain-Jane façade evidences the popularity of this midtown Sichuan stop. The pleasant and comfy interior fashioned from high-backed banquettes, wood-carved wall hangings, and colorful accent lights provides a respite once you make it through the doors. Recent experiences have indicated inconsistent cooking, but the fiery and smoky specialties here are still praiseworthy. Nibble on a crispy pile of camphor tea-smoked duck while waiting for the standout items to arrive. These may include miso- and chili-simmered whole fish showered with green onion; strips of bitter melon dressed with black bean sauce; as well as shredded potatoes shined with oil, vinegar, and hit with dried red plus thinly sliced green chilies.

The efficiency of government promotion of inbound tourism: The case of Australia
This paper examines the effect of tax-funded promotion of inbound tourism on domestic welfare in an open economy setting with increasing returns in the tourism industry. As inbound tourism is a way of extending the market and getting more demand to realize the implication of increasing returns, promotion can help overcome the underproduction of tourism goods. However, taxation leads to a decline in domestic residents' consumption of tourism and non-tourism goods and reduces the competitiveness of the non-tourism industry in the host country. An important result obtained is that government promotion of inbound tourism will not improve welfare unless the degree of increasing returns in the tourism industry is high enough and the national income of the foreign country multiplied by the parameter of marketing effectiveness is larger than the national income of the home country. This finding is supported by a simulation with the case of Australia.

Melinda Taylor and Jeremy Brown, "Energy Center: Texas Should Use Market Strategies to Improve Water Conservation" (Fort Worth Star-Telegram)
Special to the Star-Telegram
The Texas Supreme Court once observed that the "story of water law in Texas is also the story of its droughts." It should not be surprising, then, that with the state in the midst of a difficult drought and long-term supply shortages looming, a new chapter is being added to the story of Texas water law.
Gov. Rick Perry has voiced support for a growing cohort of legislators who are calling for a major infusion of state funding for new water infrastructure.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear an interstate dispute over rights to water in the Red River basin and is considering a complaint Texas filed against New Mexico over Rio Grande water. And local disputes are brewing over rights to water from the Brazos and Colorado.
For decades, leaders here have struggled to create a water regime that meets the evolving water needs of a vast, diverse and dynamic state.
Texans have long recognized the importance of conserving water. In 1917, Texas amended its constitution to provide that the "preservation and conservation" of water are "public rights and duties."
Thinking about conservation has evolved, too. Conservation of in-stream flows — necessary for healthy rivers and estuaries — would have been considered "waste" a few decades ago.
Since the 1990s, state and local governments have pursued an admirable and increasingly aggressive form of conservation intended to make water use more efficient.
These efforts have yielded significant benefits. Last year, the Alliance for Water Efficiency and the Environmental Law Institute ranked Texas and California as having the best water conservation laws and policies in the country.
Without these, the 2011 drought would have wrung much more pain and the supply shortfalls that the State Water Development Board has predicted would be much more ominous. Still, Texas can improve.
Many state leaders regard the 2012 State Water Plan as a starting point for policy discussions and a blueprint for solutions. The plan includes many new dams and reservoirs but relies on conservation and reuse for about a third of the added supplies needed by 2060. That underestimates the importance of conservation.
Conservation strategies are more cost-effective than new infrastructure, but they also involve financing challenges. And individual property owners have little reason apart from general public-spiritedness to implement practices without mandates or incentives.
Landlords, for instance, have no reason to invest their own money in low-flow fixtures that will cut utility costs for tenants; and factory owners who intend to sell their property in the near term may want to avoid the financial risk of installing water-saving machinery that will take time to pay for itself.
Well-designed legislation can overcome market barriers like these and allow economic incentives to drive conservation.
Across the country, state and local governments have already pioneered innovative programs that address barriers to energy efficiency. Given the many parallels — and the connection — between energy and water use, these programs could lend themselves to water conservation.
Texas already allows property owners to pay for certain energy improvements with financing secured by tax liens. And several states have experimented with programs that let utility customers repay energy efficiency loans through utility bills and secure the financing with liens on utility services. These techniques could be applied to water.
This session, the Legislature has the opportunity to promote the water security of Texas and ensure that inadequate water supplies do not sabotage an economic engine that other states have long marveled at and envied.
But to truly act upon this opportunity, the legislature must double down on its commitment to conservation and consider creative, market-based solutions. Fortunately, lawmakers can rely on proven policies that fit with the free enterprise ethos and property rights tradition of Texas.
Melinda E. Taylor is executive director and Jeremy M. Brown is a research fellow at the Center for Global Energy, International Arbitration and Environmental Law at the University of Texas School of Law.

"Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." – The White Queen, "Alice in Wonderland"
The more President Obama talks about the supposed joys of his Affordable Health Care law, the more he resembles a political Mad Hatter, devoid of reason, absent logic and ignorant of facts. At a Rose Garden event Monday, the president's theatrics were on full display. With a chorus of supporters behind him, Obama blamed the rollout of health insurance enrollment on too many people trying to log on to the government's site.
The administration is asking for a lifeline from the private sector to offer technical help.
Ponder this for a moment: The very people who claim they are sufficiently competent to run health care, which constitutes about one-sixth of the nation's economy, can't manage to launch a workable website, even though they had at least three years to set it up. Keep in mind this is also the same government that is having trouble making Medicare and Social Security permanently solvent.
The Obama administration has spent $200 million on its flawed marketplace system to sign up (so far) untold "thousands" – the president said thousands – not the seven million, out of 40 million uninsured, he and other top officials predicted. He now wants to spend even more to hire people who actually know what they are doing. Why didn't the administration consult Silicon Valley first?
Let's put it in a way everyone can understand. You buy a can of sardines at the supermarket only to discover when you get home that the tin has been recalled because its contents are tainted and may make you sick.
You return the sardines to the store, but instead of simply exchanging the tainted ones for untainted ones, the manager wants to charge you again for an untainted tin. Would that be fair? Would it be legal? Don't think so. From the beginning, Obamacare was a tainted tin of sardines. It can't live up to its promises. It can't deliver health insurance we are used to at affordable prices. People are being laid off, not hired, reduced to part-time employment. They cannot shoulder the burden of purchasing overpriced, mismanaged health care. They'd like to exchange Obamacare for something that works, but the administration won't take back the tainted fish. And now we all will have to pay, and pay ...
The British have tried to centralize health care. They quickly saw health care costs rise as the quality and availability of qualified medical treatment declined. Obamacare and the single-payer system that will likely follow (perhaps along with rationing) might eventually be available for all, but at a personal and monetary price most Americans will be unwilling to pay.
Take for example the Canadian Supreme Court. Adam Goldenberg of Slate.com reports that the court recently ruled that in Ontario a panel of "adjudicators" appointed by the government may overrule a family's wishes when it comes to keeping a patient on life support. Death panels, anyone? All inhumanities begin at the extremes, but when a precedent has been established it is difficult to reverse it. Remember the many promises the president made to sell the Affordable Care Act to the public, including "if you like your current policy you can keep it" and "premiums will actually go down." People are now opening letters from their insurance companies that tell a different story. Many companies are telling them they can't keep the policy they have and in some cases their policies are being canceled. Others have been jolted with the news that their premiums are going up beyond their ability to pay.
Talk radio shows are hearing from listeners, including disappointed and outraged Obama voters, who realize now they fell for a lie. Conservatives warned them, but they were caught up in wishful thinking and blinded by Obama's charm.

- Microscopic models for ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions (1998)
- In this paper, the concepts of microscopic transport theory are introduced and the features and shortcomings of the most commonly used ansatzes are discussed. In particular, the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) transport model is described in great detail. Based on the same principles as QMD and RQMD, it incorporates a vastly extended collision term with full baryon-antibaryon symmetry, 55 baryon and 32 meson species. Isospin is explicitly treated for all hadrons. The range of applicability stretches from E lab < 100$ MeV/nucleon up to E lab> 200$ GeV/nucleon, allowing for a consistent calculation of excitation functions from the intermediate energy domain up to ultrarelativistic energies. The main physics topics under discussion are stopping, particle production and collective flow.
- Are we close to the QGP? - Hadrochemical vs. microscopic analysis of particle production in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions (1997)
- Ratios of hadronic abundances are analyzed for pp and nucleus-nucleus collisions at sqrt(s)=20 GeV using the microscopic transport model UrQMD. Secondary interactions significantly change the primordial hadronic cocktail of the system. A comparison to data shows a strong dependence on rapidity. Without assuming thermal and chemical equilibrium, predicted hadron yields and ratios agree with many of the data, the few observed discrepancies are discussed.
- Reaction dynamics in Pb+Pb at the CERN/SPS: from partonic degrees of freedom to freeze-out (1998)
- We analyze the reaction dynamics of central Pb+Pb collisions at 160 GeV/nucleon. First we estimate the energy density pile-up at mid-rapidity and calculate its excitation function: The energy density is decomposed into hadronic and partonic contributions. A detailed analysis of the collision dynamics in the framework of a microscopic transport model shows the importance of partonic degrees of freedom and rescattering of leading (di)quarks in the early phase of the reaction for E >= 30 GeV/nucleon. The energy density reaches up to 4 GeV/fm 3, 95% of which are contained in partonic degrees of freedom. It is shown that cells of hadronic matter, after the early reaction phase, can be viewed as nearly chemically equilibrated. This matter never exceeds energy densities of 0.4 GeV/fm 3, i.e. a density above which the notion of separated hadrons loses its meaning. The final reaction stage is analyzed in terms of hadron ratios, freeze-out distributions and a source analysis for final state pions.
- Equation of state, spectra and composition of hot and dense infinite hadronic matter in a microscopic transport model (1998)
- Equilibrium properties of infinite relativistic hadron matter are investigated using the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) model. The simulations are performed in a box with periodic boundary conditions. Equilibration times depend critically on energy and baryon densities. Energy spectra of various hadronic species are shown to be isotropic and consistent with a single temperature in equilibrium. The variation of energy density versus temperature shows a Hagedorn-like behavior with a limiting temperature of 130 +/- 10 MeV. Comparison of abundances of different particle species to ideal hadron gas model predictions show good agreement only if detailed balance is implemented for all channels. At low energy densities, high mass resonances are not relevant; however, their importance raises with increasing energy density. The relevance of these different conceptual frameworks for any interpretation of experimental data is questioned.
- Enlarging the toolbox for allergen epitope definition with an allergen-type model protein (2014)
- Background: Birch pollen-allergic subjects produce polyclonal cross-reactive IgE antibodies that mediate pollen-associated food allergies. The major allergen Bet v 1 and its homologs in plant foods bind IgE in their native protein conformation. Information on location, number and clinical relevance of IgE epitopes is limited. We addressed the use of an allergen-related protein model to identify amino acids critical for IgE binding of PR-10 allergens. Method: Norcoclaurine synthase (NCS) from meadow rue is structurally homologous to Bet v 1 but does not bind Bet v 1-reactive IgE. NCS was used as the template for epitope grafting. NCS variants were tested with sera from 70 birch pollen allergic subjects and with monoclonal antibody BV16 reported to compete with IgE binding to Bet v 1. Results: We generated an NCS variant (Δ29NCSN57/I58E/D60N/V63P/D68K) harboring an IgE epitope of Bet v 1. Bet v 1-type protein folding of the NCS variant was evaluated by 1H-15N-HSQC NMR spectroscopy. BV16 bound the NCS variant and 71% (50/70 sera) of our study population showed significant IgE binding. We observed IgE and BV16 cross-reactivity to the epitope presented by the NCS variant in a subgroup of Bet v 1-related allergens. Moreover BV16 blocked IgE binding to the NCS variant. Antibody cross-reactivity depended on a defined orientation of amino acids within the Bet v 1-type conformation. Conclusion: Our system allows the evaluation of patient-specific epitope profiles and will facilitate both the identification of clinically relevant epitopes as biomarkers and the monitoring of therapeutic outcomes to improve diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of allergies caused by PR-10 proteins.
- Nucleus-nucleus collisions at highest energies (1996)
- The microscopic phasespace approach URQMD is used to investigate the stopping power and particle production in heavy systems at SPS and RHIC energies. We find no gap in the baryon rapidity distribution even at RHIC. For CERN energies URQMD shows a pile up of baryons and a supression of multi-nucleon clusters at midrapidity.
- Microscopic analysis of thermodynamic parameters from 160 MeV/n - 160 GeV/n (1997)
- Microscopic calculations of central collisions between heavy nuclei are used to study fragment production and the creation of collective flow. It is shown that the final phase space distributions are compatible with the expectations from a thermally equilibrated source, which in addition exhibits a collective transverse expansion. However, the microscopic analyses of the transient states in the reaction stages of highest density and during the expansion show that the system does not reach global equilibrium. Even if a considerable amount of equilibration is assumed, the connection of the measurable final state to the macroscopic parameters, e.g. the temperature, of the transient ''equilibrium'' state remains ambiguous.
- Can momentum correlations proof kinetic equilibration in heavy ion collisions at 160/A-GeV? (1998)
- We perform an event-by-event analysis of the transverse momentum distribution of final state particles in central Pb(160AGeV)+Pb collisions within a microscopic non-equilibrium transport model (UrQMD). Strong influence of rescattering is found. The extracted momentum distributions show less fluctuations in A+A collisions than in p+p reactions. This is in contrast to simplified p+p extrapolations and random walk models.
- Fluctuations and inhomogenities of energy density and isospin in Pb + Pb at the SPS (1998)
- The main goal of heavy ion physics in the last fifteen years has been the search for the quark-gluon-plasma(QGP). Until now, unambigous experimental evidence for the QGP is missing.
- Relativistic hadron-hadron collisions in the ultra-relativistic quantum molecular dynamics model (1999)
- Hadron-hadron collisions at high energies are investigated in the Ultra- relativistic-Quantum-Molecular-Dynamics approach. This microscopic trans- port model describes the phenomenology of hadronic interactions at low and intermediate energies ( s < 5 GeV) in terms of interactions between known hadrons and their resonances. At higher energies, s > 5 GeV, the excitation of color strings and their subsequent fragmentation into hadrons dominates the multiple production of particles in the UrQMD model. The model shows a fair overall agreement with a large body of experimental h-h data over a wide range of h-h center-of-mass energies. Hadronic reaction data with higher precision would be useful to support the use of the UrQMD model for relativistic heavy ion collisions.

Marriage amendment reflects fuzzy thinking
Essentially, the measure addresses a non-issue; state law already spells out in clear terms what does and does not constitute a marriage.
Proposition 2 on the Nov. 8 ballot is an exercise in legislative redundancy and should be defeated by the voters. The amendment would define marriage only as a union between a man and a woman, in effect prohibiting the legal recognition of gay marriages. But Texas already has a state law on the books that bans marriage between members of the same sex.
Polls have repeatedly shown that the majority of Texans have deep and sincere religious objections to homosexual unions. That's why the Texas Legislature in 2003 passed a state law that prohibits gay marriage or civil unions. But rather than leaving well enough alone, factional interests have put the proposed amendment on the ballot as nothing more than a tool to arouse and enlist religious groups to a political agenda. Rather than a reflection of socially conservative sentiments, the proposed revision would be a punitive act upon fellow Texans.
Proponents say the prohibition must be written into the Texas Constitution to ward off any legal challenges such as those launched in Hawaii and Vermont. But there are no lines of gay couples at Texas courthouses to get marriage licenses. Any such legal challenge would find flinty ground before the Texas Supreme Court, where every justice is a Republican.
The assertion that passage of the proposition would somehow protect the institution of marriage is linguistic fraud. Those who have concerns about marriage might want to support laws and economic conditions that create more affordable housing. Better schools help families. So, too, does a more robust economy that gives families livable wages so that parents can spend more time with their children. That would do more for marriage than a law that targets scapegoats as the supposed cause of social breakdown.
Many Americans who oppose gay marriage are willing to consider the possibility of allowing civil unions. But Proposition 2 would remove any possibility of such arrangements. A gay person might not even have the ability to give a partner the right to make medical decisions on his or her behalf.
The statute now on the books recognizes the religious tenets of the majority of Texans regarding homosexual unions. To enshrine that prohibition in the Texas Constitution would be demeaning to all Texans, both gay and straight.
(This is another in a series on the nine constitutional amendments on the Nov. 8 ballot.)

The easy availability of online information has transformed relationships between customers and suppliers. This easy availability has empowered customers.
Other dynamic changes have been seen through drivers such as cost and enhanced global competition
Along with many other industries, pharma needs to adapt sales resources to the changing business landscape.
Customers have more power than ever and this is also true in healthcare and particularly pharma
The Forrester study of the six-year stock performance of S&P 500 companies found that customer experience leaders outperform market average companies with a cumulative 43% gain in performance over a six-year period (2007 to 2012), compared with a 14.5% increase for the S&P 500 Index and a 33.9% decrease for a portfolio of customer experience laggards.
Clearly there is a link between customer experience and company value.
The previous approach of pushing information at stakeholders with traditional reps, pitching the product and acting as "talking brochures" is no longer effective as the customers can obtain product information and opinions about their usefulness, efficacy and application from the web.
BUT salespeople can create value by making the right channels available for their customers and as a consequence the customers should receive the information when they wantit and in their preferred format.
The medical rep is becoming more of a facilitator coordinating the numerous different touch points between the company and its various audiences.
Stakeholders' importance shifted and this directly impacts the role of the sales force
The dynamic between patients, providers, payers and pharma, is changing.
This, in turn, forces Sales people to adapt to their new role, being more flexible in their interactions with stakeholders. The objective is to enable them to engage in informed discussions about the value of products and this dialogue encompasses services. Medical reps have to provide the specific information that customers need including the benefit of their wider industry insights and extensive knowledge of other customers' experiences.
These new reps need to be able to use digital technology in face-to-face and online situations, adapting presentations to the requirements of the customer and making the best use of the limited time available. There is a clear need for Sales people to embrace technology. However not all the reps understand the importance of technology and many of them still see digital more as a threat.
There is an increasing focus on market intelligence: Reps, key account managers and medical scientific people, in talking to healthcare providers, represent a channel for conveying market intelligence back to their companies. They are essential for early warning about issues that affect prescribing behavior, treatment adherence and market access.
In pharma companies, like in other sectors:
– The lines between traditional sales and marketing roles are becoming blurred.
– Sales Reps can create value by making the right channels available for their customers and deliver an enhanced customer experience.

Friday September 22, 2000
"The Specials" is an unfortunate name for a film that's anything but. It's all talk and no action in the most literal sense, yet its title refers to a team of superhumans dedicated to putting their unusual powers in the service of doing good deeds in the tradition of Superman. Alas, they are always coming in second in comparison to other such teams. When a toy conglomerate selects them for a line of action figures in their images, the Specials start feeling special again, but to be sure, there's a hitch.
Debuting director Craig Mazin, who scripted "Rocket Man" and "Senseless," and his writer James Gunn (who also plays one of the Specials) seem to be in an anti-special effects mode--or maybe they were simply constrained by their obviously low budget. In any case, it would really have helped to see the Specials in action--to see their leader, Ted the Strobe (Thomas Haden Church), shoot laser beams out of his arm--and show how his counterpart on another team does it better, for humorous effect.
Instead, the Specials sit around talking, talking, talking until a crisis erupts that will either serve to demoralize them further or to reunite them. In short, the Specials seem increasingly like mere mortals having to cope with everyday problems of marital fidelity, self-interest, etc.; the problem is that the filmmakers fail to show them as superhuman at the start, so they simply seem throughout as being inundated with standard yuppie angst over personal and professional crises.
The Specials' team star is the Weevil, described vaguely as a pest dispenser, and while he is as well-played as humanly possible under the circumstances by Rob Lowe, you have to feel that it's unfortunate that this hopeless little picture is surfacing just as Lowe is riding the crest of a hard-won comeback with TV's "The West Wing." "The Specials" is being promoted as "Spinal Tap" meets "Scream." Whatever that means, it certainly doesn't describe this limp loser.
The Specials, 2000. R, for some strong language. A Regent Entertainment presentation of a Mindfire Entertainment production in association with Brillstein/Grey Entertainment. Director Craig Mazin. Producers Dan Bates, Mark A. Altman, Rick Mischel. Executive producers Mark & Ellie Gottwald. Cinematographer Eliot Rockett. Editor Stephen Garrett. Music supervisor Spring Aspers.
