Bayer CropScience made the announcement about the herbicides in September.
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. – Environmental Science, a division of Bayer CropScience LP, today announced Specticle FLO and Celsius are approved for use in California. Specticle FLO, a pre-emergent herbicide, protects against a broad spectrum of broadleaf and grassy weeds including Poa annua, crabgrass and goosegrass. Celsius delivers post-emergent control of more than 150 weeds, and offers reduced risk of phytotoxicity during summer months compared with other post-emergent herbicides.
"We're pleased to help turf managers in California simplify operations and grow their businesses with the latest technology in pre- and post-emergent weed control," says Jeff Michel, herbicide business manager for Bayer's turf and ornamentals business. "Specticle FLO's long-term residual requires fewer applications, which helps cut fuel, labor and pesticide costs and Celsius helps simplify operations, offering one of the broadest spectrums of control on the market."
Specticle FLO delivers protection against key grassy weeds such as Poa annua as well as more than 50 broadleaf weeds. It effectively controls weeds at the lowest use rates on the market, requiring up to 40 times less active ingredients than other pre-emergent solutions.
Celsius offers safety on bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, St. Augustinegrass and centipede turf types, and provides a single solution for many difficult-to-control grassy and broadleaf weeds. The product features a convenient application window and requires 25-75 percent less active ingredient than other current post-emergent herbicides.

When it comes to hiring, make sure to focus on the most important part: interviewing.

Coyotes chairman Gosbee 'extremely pleased' to buy the team
Aug 5, 2013, 3:35 PM EDT
Now that the Phoenix Coyotes are no longer wards of the NHL, it's time to get to know the group of businessmen who jumped in to save hockey in the desert.
The 10-man group called IceArizona is headed up by team Chairman and Team Governor George Gosbee. He was the guy who helped spearhead the group in rallying together to buy the franchise. Gosbee was thrilled about seeing the purchase finalized.
"We are extremely pleased to have finalized the transaction with the NHL and to take ownership of the Coyotes franchise," he said.
Joining him are Anthony LeBlanc and Daryl Jones, former members of the Ice Edge Holdings group who attempted to purchase the team two years ago. LeBlanc as well is ecstatic to finally own the Coyotes.
"Our ultimate goal is to bring a Stanley Cup championship to our tremendously resilient, passionate and dedicated fan base here in the Valley. We have a lot of work to do and we can't wait to get started," LeBlanc said.
Rounding out the group of 10 are: Avik Dey, Gary J. Drummond, W. David Duckett, W. R. Dutton, Robert Gwin, Scott Saxberg, Craig Stewart, and Richard Walter. You search engine wizards can have fun looking up who they are.

Professional independent guy here. Just a normal down to earth guy with virtues and flaws. Honest, romantic,compassioned and friendly.
It is amazing to see how fast we all are to judge a person's character and personality by just looking at a picture and reading a profile. Unfortunately, pictures and words can not say much about the essence of a person or the reflection of who that person really is. However, I do understand, we all go by the first instinct of attraction and, in the end, we are looking for a connection with that special someone. So here I am, trying to be clearly open to express myself the best I can to catch your attention and, possibly, trigger your interest. I am respectful, honest, and compassionate. I have a noble character as my family and friends said. I am just a man with virtues flaws, and insecurities, just like everyone else. I am romantic and passionate when I am in love. I am a lover, a friend, and a companion for that special someone who enters in to my life and my heart. However, I am a firm believer that a well founded relationship requires of mutual respect, honesty, faithfulness, consideration, compromise, understanding, and communication. A relationship requires work and commitment from both ends to make it work and to withstand its ups and downs. I am man in search of a LTR, I dislike playing games and I expect the same. I am family oriented and love my family very much. They respect me and accept me for who I am. I enjoy spending time and creating memories with family and friends. I am a bit perfectionist, what makes me at little critical on myself. However, I try no to be judgmental against others. I accept people for who they are. In the end, nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I have goals and ambitions in life, but I work hard and make sacrifices to be able to reach them, but not without stopping to enjoy the small accomplishment and blessings that God and life itself have bestowed upon me. I enjoy the simple things life has to offer, such as a quite romantic dinner with that special someone, entertaining family and friends at home, family gatherings, a movie on bed in a rainy day, enjoying a glass of wine or cup of coffee over a nice conversation, cuddling in bed on a weekend morning after a long working week, listening to music. As for my personal preferences, I enjoy being top. I hope that with these words I have at least tried to project a small part of my soul and my character. I am open to getting to know you. Thank you for taking the time on reading my profile. I leave you with this quote: "You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but learning to see an imperfect person perfectly

Slow down greedy one, you will upset your pea brain. What happened?<quoted text>To the contrary, I said don't explain to me what I own. Don't put words in my mouth. You know as well as I, you were merely questioning my knowledge of what I have. It's obvious you're out of your league. It's ok, you can't know everything. Why do you choose to act like it. Sit back and learn something, I'll sit back and let you teach me something. Maybe you could help me in areas I'm weak, but don't be-little me on the bond market.
I haven't been here for a while, I guess someone is taking you down a few steps, and taking the tarnish off of your GOLD. As you were told by someone, "You can't take it with you", not unless you tell them to bury you with your GOD $$$$$$.
Are you going to show your bankbook next idiot??? Now I know why you are in love with Barry Obama Soetoro, you can not stand or recognize the truth. Don't panic yet you have 2 more weeks left before all of your bonds tank fool, still time to sell them to some unsuspecting greedy person like you. Your bankbook must be as empty as your head. Calm down, everyone loses money in the stock market sooner or later, unless you are willing to go public and sell your advice, and make a complete fool of yourself. I didn't realize that you were a genius in your own mind. There too just like Barry Soetoro. I wonder if I can entice Chris Christie to make this speech about you????:

A man who attempted the theft of two 18-packs of beer on New Years Eve was arrested by the Weber County Sheriff's Office. While the beer may have been for that evening's celebrations, law enforcement officers don't believe the man only stole from one store.
Don't Send This Guy for Beer
Matthew Howell gives a whole new definition to the term "going on a beer run." According to KSL News, on Dec. 31, Howell, nicknamed the "Beer Run Bandit" by police, entered a Pilot Flying J convenience store, picked up two 18-packs of Bud Light, and left the store without paying for them. Two employees saw the theft take place and followed Howell outside, where he got in a truck and locked the doors.
When one of the employees was noting the rear license plate number, Howell reversed the truck in high speed and nearly ran over the employee. However, after Howell drove away, the Weber County Sheriff's Office was able to locate the truck in a hotel parking lot in Ogden. The deputy found Howell in one of the rooms with a female and an "extensive amount of beer" which led law enforcement to believe "the man has committed many similar crimes along the northern Wasatch Front."
Howell was booked on suspicion of theft, aggravated assault, and aggravated robbery.
Theft Defined per Utah Criminal Code
According to Utah Criminal Code 76-4-404, theft is defined as obtaining or exercising unauthorized control over the property of another with a purpose to deprive that person of their property. However, it doesn't have to be personal, as in taking something from someone directly. In the case of Howell, the "property" belongs to the owners of the gas station, even though they aren't on the premises at the time of the incident.
Per Utah Criminal Code 76-4-412, theft may be charged as anything from a class B misdemeanor to a second degree felony depending on how the crime is carried out (as in with or without a weapon) and the property stolen. In Howell's case, the theft would mostly likely be a class B misdemeanor for a property value less than $500. Class B misdemeanors are punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
Six months in jail is a long time over just two 18-packs of beer. If you or someone you know has been convicted of theft, don't leave your fate in the hands of a public defender. Contact an experienced criminal defense attorney who will look out for your best interests.

Decreased iPhone speeds caused by 2.0.2 firmware?
updated 01:20 pm EDT, Thu August 21, 2008
iPhone speed issues
The iPhone 2.0.2 update that was supposed to improve 3G connectivity may have had an unexpectedly negative effect on download speeds, accounts say. Test My iPhone is a site that allows users to test their iPhone's download and upload speeds, and also keeps track of average speeds recorded in the last 24 hours. The site has completed just over 600,000 speed tests, and has previously shown an average speed of around 2,224Kbps; in the last 24 hours however, this has fallen 30 percent to 1,578Kbps.
Cult of Mac reports that this decrease could be related to Monday's v2.0.2 update, though it speculates that there might be other reasons for a sudden speed reduction. Some suggestions include meteorological conditions, a spike in traffic on AT&T's network, or a bug in the site's reporting tool. It is noted that average global download and upload speeds are the same, which is a rare phenomenon. One reader comments that the global decrease could be simply be generated by users performing more EDGE tests versus 3G or Wi-Fi.
Complaints about 3G connectivity have surged in recent weeks, with one user going as far as to file a lawsuit against the company, arguing that Apple's claims of "twice the speed" are untrue.

PULLMAN, Wash. — Jack Friel, who coached Washington State from 1928-58 and is the school's winningest basketball coach, has died at age 97.
He had pneumonia and died Tuesday at Pullman Memorial Hospital.
Friel, who had a record of 495-377, took Washington State to its only NCAA title game in 1941. The Cougars lost to Wisconsin, 39-34.
Friel enrolled at Washington State in 1916 and became captain of the basketball team. After retiring as basketball coach, Friel coached the golf team. He later became the first commissioner of the Big Sky Conference.
In 1977, the basketball facilities at the school's Beasley Coliseum were named for him.
"He really loved to teach, not just basketball, but baseball and golf," said Bob Smawley, of the school's alumni relations department and a longtime friend.

A debate among New York Yankees fans has been heating up over the past few days: the debate to trade Robinson Canó, or extend his contract, to a nine-figure deal, keeping him in the Bronx for the next several years.Some Yankee fans want the Yankees to honor their team's heritage of spending more and more money, always improving the team, never acknowledging any fiscal limitations.Other fans are wary of issues signing players, who are good today, to long-term contracts that will continue to pay them like superstars through their post-prime years.Alex Rodriguez is most often used as the example of this argument, but the truth is there are dozens of examples since the Yankees signed Catfish Hunter on the last day of 1974.Over at the MLBTR Yankees Facebook page, one commenter states: He's a talent that you see every once n a while but if he wants much than I say....let him walk.We're not trying to poke fun at this fan's opinion, but my question is how often is "every once in a while"...

Kippah is from the root k-f-f, which means "to bend," as in zoqef kfufim, "(God) raises those who are bent" (Psalms 145:14, and prayer), closely related to k-f-y "to compel, force, invert, subdue." So, kippah is "a bent shape, dome," as in kippat shamayim "celestial sphere."...

According to his nominator, Alvarez recently provided outstanding customer service when he helped completed 437 overdue cases in the Houston area with the Health and Human Service Commission.
"Sammy works with the TIERS onsite support unit and travels across the state providing assistance and training to hundreds of employees," Alvarez's supervisor added. "His remarkable performance in Houston is a good example of how his outstanding work ethic and personality make him a real asset to our team."

The redevelopment of the St. Anthony's site, which will bring in a large number of residential units and new businesses, has been going on for six years, and a big part of the site's future could be determined soon.
The Denver Planning Board will hold a public hearing Dec. 18 and decide whether or not to approve the site's General Development Plan (GDP) set forth by the developer, EnviroFinance Group. EFG owns the land.
The GDP establishes a framework for the project and identifies possible issues with the site, such as open space and transit. Denver Community Planning and Development spokesperson Andrea Burns said the GDP would be referenced in the future for rezoning if necessary.
However there are people who have taken issue with the GDP. The height of some of the buildings and the amount of open space were the two of the hottest topics discussed at a public meeting Dec. 3.
Opponents of the GDP are concerned about the possibility of 20-story buildings along 17th Avenue near Sloan's Lake Park and the density and traffic they could bring. Current zoning allows for five-story buildings.
Another issue is with the wording of a city ordinance that says large developments need to have 10 percent of land set aside for open space. The developer has translated that to mean 10 percent of the developable area, which doesn't include streets. Residents feel it should include the entire 25-acre site rather than the 16 developable acres. The difference amounts to 0.9 acres of open space.
The ordinance is scheduled to go back to Denver City Council for clarification in a few months.
"For the planning board to go ahead on a vote before council has the opportunity to determine what it should be is usurping council's legislative prerogative," Larry Ambrose, president of Denver's Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation, said.
EFG Vice President of Development Services Cameron Bertron said the renderings are for what the site could hold, not what current zoning allows. Any developers wanting to build a 20-story building would have to get the land rezoned, which takes approval from city council. Bertron said he's obligated to say what the biggest possible structure could be on site.
"I'm building the sewer pipe like that because if someone wants to come in and build 20 stories, I think it would be awesome," Bertron said.
EFG will not develop the land itself; it will sell the different plots to developers who will then build on the land. EFG razed the old hospital structures that are not being kept and will put in infrastructure next year. Bertron said he doesn't think the GDP is as weighty as some of the residents do.
"It won't have the impact I think that some people in the room think it will. It doesn't allow me to do anything that I'm currently not allowed to do," Bertron said, adding that he will begin adding roads next year regardless of the decision by the planning board.
Sloan's Lake resident A.J. Steinke disagrees and said that while he's not against the development, he doesn't think EFG has the best interests of the neighborhood in mind.
"This developer doesn't have interest after he sells," Steinke said. "It's not a very at-ease position when I'll be looking at it for the rest of my life."
Not all neighborhood groups are against the plan, however. The West Colfax Association of Neighbors (WeCAN) has been a proponent of the plan since the beginning.
WeCAN co-president Chad Reischl said he doesn't want smaller issues getting in the way of a good plan for development.
"We don't want the search for perfection to get in way of something that is really good. I personally don't worry about density or traffic. It's going to make our neighborhood much more exciting," Reischl said.
After the GDP decision, Bertron will have another community meeting Jan. 22. He said he plans to have four lots under contract by then and that none of the groups he has spoken with have expressed desires to rezone.

Wife: Beau Biden will be back to full speed soon
WILMINGTON, Del. - WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - Beau Biden's wife has sent a message to supporters saying he will soon be back up and running at full speed after suffering a mild stroke.
Hallie Biden, the vice president's daughter-in-law, sent the message to the Delaware attorney general's campaign supporters Thursday morning.
She thanks supporters for their prayers and well-wishes. She says, "As you all know by now, we made it!"
She says her husband will remain in the hospital for a little while but is ready to get back home. She joked that she believes he is working with their young children to plan an escape route from the Philadelphia hospital where he was taken Tuesday.

Flying through Spring - Clothing with Wings
Harukakimie have just released their Spring/Summer 2012 Collection and it's just beautiful! When I think of Spring, i think of pretty flowers, pastel colours, green meadows, natural material, the warm air, the blue sea and cool evening breezes...and this Collection kind of mixes all of that up together with one added extra, the pieces all have wings :-) Yup, wings but not in the Halloween sense, in the 'it's super delicate and looks pretty awesome' sense!
The entire collection is so full of Spring, with light colours, soft cotton material, plenty of perfect layers and delicate embelishments. Consisting mainly of dresses and tunics, it's a gorgeous and feminine collection and definitely a great addition to your new Spring/Summer wardrobe. Now...onto the wings. The wing is created by a delicate wing-like shape that carefully blends into the back of each piece. It's not a huge set of wings, it's a small detail that adds character to the collection and makes it stand out from other Spring Collections.
So, what do you think? I really love the first set and the green dress in the 6th set :-) If you would like to learn more about Harukakimie or you want to see more Collections, you can just 'click here'
(i would like to thank Harukakimie for the images used in this blog)

Ray J was seemingly on top of the world in 2007 — he had his second Top 10 single ("Sexy Can I") and the most popular home movie since Pam and Tommy. Unfortunately for Mr. William Norwood, he's been trapped in a vortex of irrelevancy ever since. (His highest showing since 2007: "Last Wish", which peaked at #54 on the Billboard R&B chart). Conversely, the home video launched the career of his co-star, Kim Kardashian, who has made approximately a kabillion dollars through various ventures (sorry, it's a long list that I don't feel like jotting down) and, in turn, launched the careers of her entire family. These days, Ms. Kardashian is in the news even more, thanks to her very public relationship with Kanye West, and the impending birth of their first child. Recently, in desperate attempts to maintain some form of relevancy, Ray J has taken random shots at his former flame, first via Twitter, and now through the magic of song. His latest single, the aptly-titled, and very on-the-nose "I Hit It First", would have been enough for most people. But no, he took it a step further, adding some incredible cover art — a blurred-out Kim on the beach. Shots fired! [Complex] Article found on: Next Impulse Sports

"I know one day it's going to come to an end, but as many times as I can I'd like to be a part of this special day."

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel hosted his third annual "Shear Da Beard" event Thursday night at Jergel's Rhythm Grille. The annual event once again benefited the cancer programs at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh at UPMC and was sold out way in advance. As always, several family members, Steelers players, coaches, and even Dan Rooney, each took turns at snipping away a portion of the famous beard. Ben Roethlisberger, Mike Tomlin, Dick LeBeau, Heath Miller, Cameron Heyward and Charlie Batch all made appearances, as did former Steelers defensive end Aaron Smith, whose son Elijah Read more [...]

Saving the family business
When I was ten years old, my first job was heading shrimp and scaling fish. Over forty years later, I own and run Morgan Street Seafood, buying directly from local fishermen who have supplied my family for decades. I'm proud to be a part of a strong small business community right here in Corpus Christi.
But the fishing industry is in danger. Three years ago, several people from Houston came to Corpus Christi and proposed the Las Brisas petroleum-coke fired power plant, laying out a site right on Nueces Bay.
This facility could mean the end of my business. Las Brisas would discharge billions of gallons of wastewater up to seven degrees hotter than normal into the bay.
Warm water cannot hold as much dissolved oxygen as cold water. The change from high to low levels of oxygen can cause stress for many fish and other organisms that will either increase mortality rates or cause them to leave the area completely. Overheated water can also cause increases in metabolic rates, causing them to consume more food in a shorter time period, resulting in overall food shortages that can lead to a sharp decrease in population.
But even if the sea life survives the wastewater, it won't survive the mercury pollution, a toxin that accumulates and remains in animals for many years, traveling slowly up the food chain all the way to our dinner tables. Las Brisas's own air permit states that they will be emitting at least 60 pounds of mercury a year, and public health groups estimate that the true number will be over 200 pounds a year.
I am committed to buying and selling seafood locally as much as possible, but I can't do that if the bay is poisoned and the fish are toxic. I'm concerned for the environment because we live off the environment.
Instead of industries that push out existing small businesses, we need to start thinking about clean, innovative technologies that will promote local businesses and keep future generations invested in Corpus Christi.
Charlie Alegria is the owner and operator of Morgan Street Seafood

Sen. Charles E. Grassley, R-Iowa, has criticized NIH and the way the agency handles its grants. Grassley recently said the agency failed to oversee conflicts of interest in its grants. Many of those grant recipients also get money from drug companies. Grassley has accused NIH of not doing a proper job of requiring all of its grant recipients to also disclose their other funding sources.
Grassley's office declined comment for this story, but in a letter to the Senate Appropriations Committee, the senator wrote, "Researchers need to be put on notice that government grants come with obligations of financial disclosure."
Marc Abrahams, editor of Improbable Research, an organization that tracks unusual research studies, said that with roughly 100,000 medical journals published in the United States, part of the reason there are so many studies is simply because of the way academia works.
"In order to get hired, in order to keep your job and to get promoted, you have to publish a lot of studies," Abrahams said. "There are an awful lot of studies that were done apparently because somebody needed to get some more things on their resume."
NIH recently funded a study that proudly proclaimed the benefits of a massage to athletes after exercise.
Yes, that's right, your tax dollars helped conclude that a Swedish massage -- combining long strokes, kneading and friction techniques on muscles and various movements of joints -- can make you feel better after working out.
Granted, the researchers didn't use humans for this study. Instead they used sedated rabbits. The grant is part of a larger research program at Ohio State University and officials there said they can't break out how much money from NIH went to this specific research.
Also in the category of things scientists have spent money to determine: Men are much more likely than women to have random sexual encounters.
In a 1989 study by two state college professors, titled Gender Differences in Receptivity to Sexual Offers and published in the Journal of Psychology and Human Sexuality, men and women were asked to randomly approach strangers of the opposite sex on a college campus and say: "I have been noticing you around campus. I find you to be very attractive," and then invite the strangers to have sex.
Guess what? "The great majority of men were willing to have a sexual liaison with the women who approached them," the study determined. "Not one woman agreed to a sexual liaison."
Abrahams said there's some questions that people really want answered, but there "are also a lot of studies that, to me, don't seem to be done for any reason."
Referencing the random sex study, he said, "It's still hard to figure out: What did they hope to learn by this?"
But he also cautioned that just because a study seems frivolous doesn't mean that it doesn't have any merit -- it might just be hard to understand the value now. Scientists who worked on electricity, the telephone or the Internet planned and studied for years before the fruits of their labor were realized.
The rules of science dictate that even the most common sense understanding must be proved, including things that sound logical or appear to be common sense.

The Jester is a steel roller coaster designed by Vekoma, that is currently Standing But Not Operating (SBNO) at Six Flags New Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Jester opened to the public on April 13, 2003.
Six Flags Fiesta Texas (1996 – 2002)[edit]
When Fiesta Texas in San Antonio, Texas was bought out from Time Warner in 1996 (the current owners of Six Flags at the time), they helped flag the park into Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Time Warner saw the opportunity to advertise and promote their latest movies through their Six Flags parks, so they added The Joker's Revenge, the first Vekoma Hurricane roller coaster in the United States and the first Vekoma roller coaster to run backwards a full circuit in the Fiesta Bay Boardwalk section next to and along the parks quarry wall.[1] Joker's Revenge was painted all pink during the years in San Antonio before the coaster got too rough and had mechanical problems in 2001. Six Flags Fiesta Texas closed down the coaster after the 2001 season and the coaster was SBNO all of 2002 until late 2002 where the coaster was moved to Six Flags New Orleans.
Six Flags New Orleans (2003 – 2005)[edit]
Six Flags took over the lease of Jazzland in 2002, operating it as "Jazzland" for the 2002 season, changing the park's name in 2003 to Six Flags New Orleans[2] for the 2003 season. Before the 2003 season, the park opened a whole new selection of rides including moving The Joker's Revenge roller coaster from Fiesta Texas in San Antonio to the park in New Orleans and renamed it The Jester in the Mardi Gras section of the park.[3] The coaster also ran backwards at the park with a new color scheme of Green and Blue. When Hurricane Katrina hit the park on August 29, 2005, the park was severely flooded causing Six Flags New Orleans to shut down and rides to remain SBNO. The park still remains closed.[4]
In 2007, Six Flags began the process of moving rides from the park to their other properties. Batman: The Ride was the first ride to be taken out of the park. It was removed and taken to Six Flags Fiesta Texas, where it was refurbished and reopened as Goliath. Bayou Blaster and Sonic Slam were removed in 2008 and taken to Great Escape in Queensbury, New York, where it was refurbished and reopened as Sasquatch in 2009. The Road Runner Express was removed in 2009 and taken to Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, where it was refurbished and reopened in 2011 under the same name. The Jester is still currently standing but not operating at the New Orleans park with the wooden coaster Mega Zeph and other coasters and attractions. Some of the Jester's green and blue paint is peeling away, revealing the old Joker's purple paint scheme. The park is still closed since 2005 and is no longer a Six Flags park. It is now owned by the city of New Orleans. Now that plans have been confirmed for the Jazzland Outlet Mall the coaster may be able to once again operate.[5]
Once riders board one of the two Jester's trains, a train will then take riders up a 79-foot (24 m) tall lift hill. After the train goes up the lift hill it will then loop around and drop at speeds up to 40 miles per hour (64 km/h) through a Vertical loop and then the train will loop around over the station to the ride's double Corkscrew. Once the train passes the double corkscrews it will then take riders through a double helix's before entering the brake run that takes rides back to the station.[3] There are two Vekoma Hurricane's in the world and The Jester is the only one to take riders backwards throughout the whole course of the coaster. The other Vekoma Hurricane is located at Walygator Parc as Waly Coaster that only travel riders forwards and not backwards.[6]

The Beginning of My Career in Chemistry
I graduated from the Univ. of Massachusetts in Amherst, MA in 1957 with a B.S. degree in organic chemistry. After three jobs in industry (The Refinery Technology Laboratory of Gulf Oil in Philadelphia – analyzing oils and gas products from the refinery; the Container & Sealant Lab at the Dewey & Almy Div. of WRGrace in Cambridge, MA – working on cap and can sealants for baby food and peanut butter jars and aerosol can valves; and The Exploratory Development Lab at United-Carr Inc. in Watertown, MA – working on adhesives to replace fasteners for automotive applications), I joined the staff of the Product Technology Section of Arthur D. Little (ADL) of Cambridge, MA, the international consulting firm, in March 1969, as a laboratory bench chemist.
Over my twenty-five years at ADL, I worked on hundreds of projects . Among the more memorial assignments were being part of the team that developed the "all plastic pencil" for the Empire Pencil Company (part of Hasbro Toy); working on the development of an erasable pen ink compound for Bic Pen; trying to produce a protective plastic liner for glass Thermos bottles (to protect the food contents of the bottles when school children hit their neighbors on the head with their lunch boxes – which proved a technical success – water, soup and coffee stayed hot overnight, but failed miserably, as the plastic liner took the flavor out of the coffee making it taste terrible!); developing a spin-cast epoxy eyeglass frame compound and manufacturing process for Universal Optical; developing an improved firefighter's glove for NIOSH and NASA; the development of a unique, disposable, no moving-parts mixer for use in dispensing two-part epoxy and urethane adhesives for the MPB Corporation (now commonly used in all dentist's offices for dispensing casting compounds and sold in hardware stores for delivering reactive adhesives and sealants); and of course being a part of the team that built and flew a lead balloon to prove that lead balloons really could fly! (In fact I tried to launch the silk purse made from sow's ears in a basket beneath our lead balloon!)
I have written the stories behind many of the above inventions and products in my "other" blog, ADL Chronicles.
An Introduction to Soft Contact Lenses
One of my first assignments at ADL (along with working on chemically stabilizing soils for soft ground tunneling) was to see if there were other uses for hydroxy ethyl methacralate (HEMA), the material that soft contact lenses were composed of. National Patent Development Corp. (NPDC), which had acquired the Czech technology and licensed it to Baush & Lomb, wanted to know if this product could be used for other applications. We thought of applying it to the hull of boats to make them more slippery (and go faster in water and reduce adhesion of barnicles), but the best I could come up with was its use as a slow release reservoir for insecticides to kill mosquito larvae in swampy areas.
A few years later, in June 1972, and because of my knowledge of the properties of HEMA, NPDC asked me to lead a study on the "safety and efficacy" of the B&L Soflens, which had just been approved for marketing (March 1972). (NPDC was going to issue some stock to the public and the underwriters needed this due diligence report for the offering.) The study involved interviewing all of the original FDA clinical investigators for the Soflens. The knowledge about soft lenses I gained led to several papers about the "Outlook for Soft Lenses" that were published by ADL's Decision Resource Division. Those publications led, over the next fifteen years, to over 150 assignments in the soft lens industry, including about 50 briefings to companies interested in both the technology and financial aspects of soft contact lenses. (How was B&L making so much money with their Soflens business?) It also led to my assisting Johnson&Johnson (Vistakon), Ciba Geigy (CibaVision), and Schering Plough (Wesley-Jessen) in their acquisitions of technology or small companies, to enter the soft lens industry. (In essence, I became the "guru" of the soft contact lens industry!)
Ophthalmology, Lasers and Writing
The soft lens assignments led to assessments of intraocular lenses (IOLs), plastic eyeglass lenses and eventually, in 1983, the just FDA-approved YAG ophthalmic lasers for correcting capsule opacities following cataract procedures. In 1985, I became involved with surgical lasers and in 1986 wrote the first comprehensive research and market report on medical lasers, "Medical Laser Systems: The Surgical Revolution", that was published by Arthur D. Little's Decision Resources Division. This was followed by a second comprehensive report on medical lasers, "The Outlook for Medical Lasers: The New Technologies", published in 1988, also by Decision Resources. That led to my second career at ADL, involving ophthalmic and medical laser consulting.
In the summer of 1985 I attended a Gordon Research Conference on lasers used with biological materials, where I met many of the leading researchers and surgeons involved in ophthalmic and medical laser technology. In December 1985, I was asked to prepare a market report about the potential for the excimer laser to correct vision. That report, about what I called LRK (Laser Photorefractive Keratectomy), became PRK, or ablation of the surface of the cornea to correct vision. My report was used to raise funds to begin one of the first excimer laser companies, Tauton Technologies (which later acquired VISX and assumed the VISX name).
That led to my entry into consulting in refractive lasers and writing the first market reports about refractive surgery in the mid-1980s and early 1990s. (I later wrote the seminal report on the future of laser refractive surgery for Summit Technoloy in 1992, wherein I predicted that the excimer laser would gain FDA marketing approval would occur by mid-1995. As I recall, I believe I was off by about 4 months.)
As I had begun attending ophthalmic and medical laser industry meetings (AAO, ASCRS, ARVO, ASLMS), I started writing about what I learned at those meetings. I first began writing columns for Vision Monday in 1988, mostly about my contact lens-related work. In 1989, I was asked to write a monthly column for Ophthalmology Management which became my Technology Update column. (Ophthalmology Management stopped publishing in the spring of 1991.) In the fall of 1991, Ocular Surgery News asked me to continue my Technology Update columns for them. This monthly feature, mostly covering new technologies that I discovered at the ophthalmic meetings, ran for over eleven year in OSN.
I was among the first to write about "custom ablation" and LASIK. One of my favorite titles from those times was, " Inlays, Onlays, Rings & Things " which described alternatives to laser refractive surgery.
Retirement and Spectrum Consulting
Finally, in March of 1994, on the anniversary of my 25th year with ADL, I retired from ADL and started my own consulting firm, Spectrum Consulting, continuing my consulting work in ophthalmics and medical lasers. In the fall of that year I started publishing Executive Laser Briefing, a monthly newsletter about current developments in the ophthalmic and medical laser industries. It was begun as an added service for my consulting clients, but I soon realized that others were interested in the publication. I began marketing the newsletter, which grew to a 40-60 page monthly publication, sent out to clients around the world, and it became a major part of my consulting business.
In December 2005, after eleven years, I sold the newsletter and its client list to the publishers of Trends-In-Medicine, who continue to publish the newsletter today, renamed Executive Laser Report, and retired from active consulting.
A New Blogging Career Begins: Irv Arons' Journal
That's when I decided to begin writing my blog, Irv Arons' Journal . It was originally started as a vehicle to place the more than 150 previously published articles online and accessible for historians and researchers, as I was involved in the beginning of several ophthalmic firsts – among them the birth of soft lenses, IOLs, ophthalmic lasers, refractive lasers, etc. Most of the articles were not available online because they were written prior to the explosion and availability of the web.
However, I quickly became diverted because I realized that I had insight into several new technologies that were entering ophthalmic use and I had access to those in the know who could provide me with the insight to write about these developments.
It all began because of some colleagues writing about what had happened the previous summer at the Retina 2005 Meeting in Montreal. Dr. Phil Rosenfeld presented information about his use of Avastin to stop the wet form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) cold in its tracks and to provide improved vision to some patients. His presentation wowed the audience, but other than the retinal surgeons present at the meeting, no one else in the ophthalmic world was aware of the significance. I decided I needed to tell this story – Avastin: A New Hope for Treating AMD -- and so began my blogging career with an emphasis on new technologies for treating retinal diseases.
Since that start in December 2005, I now have over 270 articles posted online, mostly about new treatments for both dry and wet AMD, but also including writeups about new devices used to both treat and detect AMD.
Along the way, I have also written about the use of lasers to treat eye floaters , about the history and use of femtosecond lasers , including their use in treating cataracts, an overview of treatments for glaucoma , including the use of the then new SLT laser .
A Developing Interest in Stem Cells and Gene Therapy
Over the past several years, I became interested in the use, first of stem cells, and then gene therapy in the treatment of ophthalmic diseases. In September 2010 I wrote A Primer on the Use of Stem Cells in Ophthalmology, which was followed in November 2010 with my first writeup on the use of gene therapy in ophthalmology, The Use of Gene Therapy in Treating Retinitis Pigmentosa and Dry AMD . Since then, I have followed with more than 15 updates on stem cell treatments and more than a dozen for gene therapies.
In addition, I have put together comprehensive tables of the companies and institutions involved in both stem cells and gene therapies , the ophthalmic applications under evaluation, and data about the clinical trials underway and completed for both therapies. All of this information is now available online via my blog.
And, the Story Continues
I hope this overview has given you a glimpse into how I went from being a bench chemist to becoming an authoritative resource in the new technologies for treating ophthalmic diseases and conditions, starting at the front of the eye and working my way into the back of the eye.

Brush up on your Italian and bring cash.
