Post-mortem: Writing Music at the 2012 Global Game Jam (Part 1)
So this is my first of hopefully many blog posts related to music, gaming, music for games and...you get the idea. My short term goal with this blog is twofold:
- research and present interesting content related to game music composition
- do so in a somewhat coherent and engaging manner on at least a bi-weekly basis.
If you know me, you also probably know that while I don't have a lot of composition experience, I have been studying music most of my life. Since I began seriously writing music for game related projects in mid 2011, I have found it to be a completely thrilling experience. It is an amazing feeling to draw upon half a lifetime of musical training and channel it into a new creative medium. So, it seems fitting that my first post be a reflection on what may be the most challenging and validating experience I've had as a composer thus far - the 2012 Global Game Jam.
If you are unfamiliar with this event, it is a 48 hour challenge for groups of game designers (writers, programmers, musicians, artists) at sites around the world to create games, either collaboratively or individually, based on a particular theme, such as a phrase or an image. Each game's interpretation of the theme is completely different and range from the very literal, to the symbolic and abstract.
If you've seen Sam's post-mortem on his game jam contribution, "Ossiphidia", you have seen this year's theme - the ouroborus, an ancient symbol representing eternity and rebirth. I worked with four groups this year, and my job was to add a musical contribution to each game. I will write about each game in the order of completion. The challenging and fantastic part about my 48 hour task was that all of the games were wildlydifferent from one another. Here is the a basic breakdown of each game:
1. A Short Tail: a text-based adventure with hand drawn illustrations set in a farmhouse.
2. Spectrum: A minimalist puzzle game that relies on color matching and quick refelxes.
3. The Final Drive: A cartoony side scrolling race against the end of the world in a VW bus.
4. Orbrs: a side-scrolling platformer about a young girl searching for her mother in an ancient temple.
So yeah, these games are all waaaay different from one another. However, the diversity of these projects is what made the challenge so unique and interesting. Working with four very different teams on four very different games simultaneously was a great test of my creative and organizational skills. In the end, I feel that the games were all very well executed, especially given the 48 hour time constraint.
As part of each article on these games, I will describe the software and processes I used in composing and recording each piece and the various challenges associated with them. I will also be including video and/or audio of each game and certain music tracks will be downloadable as ringtones.
My next post will look at the first game on my list, the mysterious text adventure, "A Short Tail". Stay tuned...

This is a guest post from Robert Brokamp of The Motley Fool. Robert is a Certified Financial Planner and the adviser for The Motley Fool's Rule Your Retirement service. He contributes one new article to Get Rich Slowly every two weeks.
Remember the good old days? Of course not, because they never really existed — at least not the way they're recalled in old TV shows and movies. But you can still get a flavor for how things have changed by watching old episodes of black-and-white classics like Leave It to Beaver. Speaking of which, here's an old public-service clip featuring Hugh Beaumont before he became famous as Ward Cleaver. (The satirical comments are provided by the silhouetted robots and human of Mystery Science Theater 3000.)
If you don't want to watch the whole thing, here's a line that will give you a taste: "The women of this family seem to feel that they owe it to the men of the family to look relaxed, rested, and attractive at dinnertime."
My, how things have changed.
Not that my wife doesn't look attractive every night, but she and my daughters don't owe anything to me and my son that we don't owe to them (though we have that whole "don't leave the seat up" responsibility).
The era of Super-Dad?
Watching this clip — and this actor who came to epitomize the ideal father — it occurred to me that, actually, Ward had nothing on the dads of today. The dads I know are far more involved in the parenting and household duties than their fathers were.
Part of this is necessity, because over the past few decades, moms — who were already super — have increasingly added "make money" to their list of daily chores, requiring them to become super-duper. Dads had to pick up some of the domestic duties or we'd be overrun by feral children who reeked of decomposing McNuggets.
But I don't think it's just necessity. I think today's dads see an active, engaged fatherhood as one of the big ingredients of a successful life. It's not that previous generations of fathers were bad dads. It just seems to me that today's dads are more involved — not to mention more likely to be affectionate and sappy.
This could be just a return to how things used to be (except for perhaps the affectionate and sappy part). Before the industrial revolution, most people worked on farms or in a trade out of their homes, and kids worked alongside their parents for a good part of the day. But then adults increasingly left the home, and commutes got longer, and you eventually have parents who see their kids for just an hour or two each weekday. Perhaps today's dad realizes that's not enough (and that he should help out around the house more so his wife has some time with the kids, too).
The cost of being a better parent
What does all this have to do with getting rich slowly? Financial planning is often about getting things done:
- Creating and sticking to a budget
- Finding lower-cost solutions
- Researching investments
- And so on
But it's tough to do that when you work all day, and then take care of the kids and their related maintenance in the evening. By the time you're "free," it's 9 p.m. and you're exhausted. This, of course, applies to both moms and dads.
Having kids can be a financial double-whammy: You have higher expenses, but less time to earn more money. Raising a child costs $8,333 to $23,180 a year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture [PDF] (which is in charge of this calculation because, far too often, there's little difference between a kid and a pig). The total cost through age 17 is $205,960 to $475,680. Reproducing ain't cheap.
Several years ago, I asked Motley Fool readers for their reasons why they don't save enough for retirement. In an article, I explained that one of the most commons reasons was the costs associated with raising kids (and that's why I eat my children's scraps).
Also, a schedule chock-full of income-earning, household-managing, and child-rearing means you're more likely to have higher expenses due to paying people to do things for you, such as cook your food, clean your house, iron your shirts, and, yes, even help raise your kids. As a wedding gift, I promised my wife I'd learn how to cook. More than eleven years later, she's still waiting. (That's just one reason why I, personally, have not reached "super-dad" status. Another involves leaving the seat up.)
As productivity evangelist Merlin Mann explains in one of his presentations, "The things you COULD do are infinite, while your time and attention are FINITE." He references Joel Spolsky, who uses the metaphor of a box. Only so many blocks can fit it in it, and if you choose one block, that means you have to ignore another one. All this super-parenting and career-building by both parents means that something has to get left out, and I suspect that is often the boring, mundane (but important) financial tasks, especially the ones that have long-term — not immediate — consequences.
And your point is?
Sometimes I write a post or article, re-read what I've written so far, and ask myself, "Ummm… what are you actually trying to say here?" I've reached that point with this little ditty.
Here's why I think I wrote this:
- I'm curious: Do you think today's dads are more involved?
- I'm fishing for commiseration. Over the past couple of months, I've found it particularly difficult to get all the professional, family, and financial things done.
- I need your help: How do I finally learn how to cook? A class? A good book? YouTube videos? The Swedish Chef? Börk, börk, börk?
- I love Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Happy holidays, everyone. I'll see you in the 2011.

Hi you all, I wasn't quite sure whether to post this here or under Horse Training. Anyway. I am a beginner- intermediate rider, so my trainer says. I have owned Yapa, my 9 yr old mare for a year and I had been riding her for another year when I bought her. In all, I have been riding consistently for two years. Yapa has never been easy, she used to work with cattle, is quite hot, energetic and strong willed. However, although she often gets angry, it never goes further than swishing her tail, shaking her head and sometimes kicking out while cantering, althought I think that has more to do with the cold weather.
I am told I have made a lot of progress, and I realize I have. I know Yapa is difficult, but she has taught me a lot (she gave me courage I had no idea I possessed) and we have come a long way together. Last week I attended a clinic with a very reputable trainer here, who agreed I rode very well for my level, but, she said Yapa is limiting my progress, because I have to spend so much time training her, so to speak. I love Yapa, I admit I sometimes get frutrated. But I also love challenges, but I am a beginner, so I really don't know if I should keep on working so much with her. I want to learn and improve. My trainer agrees she is difficult, but says we should stick with it because Yapa can still give uas a lot more. She suggested riding another horse from time to time, so that I can improve some areas with him.
What do you guys think? Would you stick it out with the big challenge, or would you give up? Or would you switch horses from time to time?
Sorry for the rant. Thank you for your time. Any comments will be appreciated!

Fischer Functional Fabrics
Soft shell, high-tech core. Fischer's research and development team work constantly on perfecting high-tech materials. The result: FISCHER FUNCTIONAL FABRICS – guaranteeing top protection against all weather conditions and extremely comfortable at the same time. "Triple-F" refers to waterproof, windproof, breathable and easy drying materials. Whether it's windy or wet, thanks to "Triple-F" the body stays warm and dry all day long.
For full protection in all weathers. The "Triple-F" membrane keeps the body warm and dry and ensures that the garment is pleasant to wear. The material repels moisture, even in extremely harsh conditions while fully sealed seams make sure that no moisture can penetrate.
For a pleasant feeling next to the skin. The "Triple-F" technology allows moisture to be transported to the outside and prevents water from entering inside.
For reliable protection against wind and the cold. "Triple-F" stands for windproof materials that protect the body against chills. Outstanding breathability is guaranteed nevertheless. This is how the body stays pleasantly warm and dry throughout the whole day.
Easy Dry
For regulated moisture management. Sweat is wicked away from the skin and evaporates on the surface of the fabric. Thanks to easy drying properties the body stays warm and well circulated with blood. Risk of injury also decreases as a result.
DrymaxX is a water- and windproof, breathable material that's suitable for use even in severe conditions. The material's properties are determined by the DrymaxX membrane. The DrymaxX membrane is bonded to the garment's surface and/or lining fabric, depending on the garment's intended use. The dense DrymaxX membrane is full of tiny microscopic pores which are too small for the surface tension of water, so water droplets cannot penetrate it. However, tiny molecules of water vapour can pass through to the outside, giving the material its breathability.
Stormwall Softshell
Softshell products mean you need fewer layers! A fully wind- and waterproof membrane is bonded to a dense surface fabric on one side, and to a fleece lining on the other. The result is a soft, lightweight, flexible material that can be made into products for a variety of uses. The WP of the fabric is 10,000 mm. Note that the seams of Softshell products will be fully waterproof only if the seams are taped on the outside of the product.

Hajj among pilgrimages
Malise Ruthven, author of Islam in the World, and Tim Winter, Shaykh Zayed Lecturer in Islamic Studies at the University of Cambridge, discuss the contemporary experience of Hajj.
This exploration of the unique nature of Hajj examines its relationship to pilgrimage experiences across cultures and faiths, considering its anthropological grammar and its expression as a ritual or a rite of passage.
This event took place on 23 March 2012.

Bought a 2006 F350....few questions
172,000 miles, F350 4x4, regular cab, picked it up at a fair price. (I consider it a fair price, as I do my own mechanical stuff......) Considering the miles, I just figured on an EGR delete, new oil cooler, and the routine updates such as the turbo lines. Okay, haven't done anything yet, parts on order. Took a 140 mile trip and averaged 18.9 mpg. EOT was around 207 at 65 mph, ECT stayed right around 170. (Stuck open I wonder?) Slowed down, oil cooled down a few degree's, coolant stayed the same...so the oil cooler is probably toast.
Questions for the Powerstroke experts:
1. Flushing the coolant: Prior to starting the egr delete and oil cooler install, correct? In other words, I'm thinking it'll be better to flush it and get it clean before I do the egr delete and oil cooler.....not after assembly and risk plugging the new cooler while flushing, right?
2. Coolant filter getting installed as well....anyone think I should install that first, and drive around for a week or so just to clean out the big stuff that may be flowing through? ...before I do the flush? Then change filters of course, when I install the egr delete and oil cooler.
3. I'm more familiar with Class 8 truck engines.....just wondering if it is common practice on these Powerstrokes to change out the rods and mains at a certain mileage?
4. Cylinder head studs.....cab off.....what a pain. Is it a do-able option to set the head on the engine, and insert the studs through the head as you would the head bolts, and go from there? Of course removing the heads would mean the cab off approach, or pulling the engine. Just wondering if this is feasible.
The egr cooler appears to be original from what I can see. Engine is spotless, no leaks, and I don't know what the maintenance history is on it. It does however have the updated turbo oil supply and return lines, and the label on the turbo appears way too new to be original. Haven't yet checked to see if the fuel pressure updated blue spring has been installed...I have one coming anyway, and will replace it regardless. The degas bottle was one gallon low on coolant....which concerned me.....but I filled it to the add line when warmed up, and it hasn't gone through any coolant in 200 miles.
Project truck......I don't know how anyone could afford the shop rates to get this stuff done. Out of curiosity I called a local diesel shop that does a lot of this type of work.....(Has a waiting list!)....quoted me $2,100 to do just the egr delete and the oil cooler. That included the parts. Outrageous as far as I'm concerned. I'm thinking the previous owner paid an arm and a leg getting things done and gave up.
Also, be sure to check out the CCR Chat Thread. It is a chapter full of a great group of guys in the PNW.
Now, to your questions.
1.) Yes, flush it first. If you are going to switch to EC-1 coolant from the Ford Gold coolant you will want to flush with Restore and Restore +. Either way, you will certainly want to do it before replacing the oil cooler.
2.) Personally, I wouldn't install the coolant filter until after you do the flush. What you could do if you are worried about it is to do a flush and run it for a few days with the coolant filter installed. That way you ensure there is very little in the system to clog the new oil cooler.
3.) No idea. Sorry.
4.) Yes, you can do the job with the cab on. This build thread should explain how to do it. A few of the CCR members and I recently did studs on my truck with the cab on.
Oh, and it does sound like your thermostat is shot. I recommend getting a motorcraft replacement instead of just getting one an auto parts store.
You can easily do all the work yourself instead of paying someone to do it. Just takes a few tools and some mechanical know how. There are a few of us in this area that could probably lend a helping too.
Yes flush it first, wouldn't hurt to run a coolant filter for awhile before swapping coolers.
I'd throw a new thremostat in there just to see what the temps really are, but sounds like the oil cooler has seen better days.
You can take the heads off with cab on, I've never had to touch mine so I'm no expert, but others do it all the time.
Rods and mains I wouldn't worry about unless there's something wrong, it's time for rebuild at that point if you ask me.
Good luck with it!!!!
Thank you for the replies
I plan on doing a lot of reading here, to familiarize myself with the Powerstroke.
I was an aircraft mechanic in the Air Force, plus do all my own diesel and gas engine work, as well as manual transmissions.....pretty much have all the tools I need, plus a couple lathes, presses, drill presses, etc to make whatever I need.
I did my homework on the 6.0 prior to purchasing one.....it seems to definitely be an engine that requires a mechanically oriented person to keep up with the maintenance on, unless money is no object. I'll definitely be sticking with Motorcraft parts. Actually had to order the thermostat today, as the local Ford dealer was out of stock. I'll check at the Freightliner and International dealer for the flush.
The automatic transmission is the only area where I am out of my realm.....at least it is spotless, operates well, fluid is clean, no leaks....and I understand they are pretty much bulletproof unless you haul a lot of heavy trailers. I have the tuner, specifically to handle any CEL's after the egr delete....I don't plan on bumping up the power at all. My boat + trailer is 4500 lbs, relatively easy work for the truck.
I'll be digging into it over the Christmas weekend......I'll have all my parts in by then, and will go ahead and flush it the weekend before. I did plug in my scan tool to check the EOT and ECT when cold....in case a sensor was out of whack.....after cooling off for 9 hours, with a 46 degree outside air temp, the EOT was 59.4 F and the ECT was 56.8....so the sensors seem to be right on.
Basically it runs quite well right now......starts great when cold, no issues other than the 170 degree engine temp. (Which on the dash gauge shows in the bottom third of the normal scale.......)

A Celebration of the life of Michael "Flathead" Blanchard will be held on April 14th, 3 pm 8160 Rosemary St, Commerce City. Weary of reading obituaries noting someone's courageous battle with death, Mike wanted it known that he died as a result of being stubborn, refusing to follow doctors' orders and raising hell for more than six decades. He enjoyed booze, guns, cars and younger women until the day he died.
So many of his childhood friends that weren't killed in Vietnam went on to become criminals, prostitutes and/or Democrats. He asks that you stop by and re-tell the stories he can no longer tell. As the Celebration will contain Adult material we respectfully ask that no children under 18 attend.
The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia: Shoot-outs, robberies, gas-huffing , drug dealing, pill popping, murders, and tap dancing - what do these all have in common? These are just a few of the parts of being a member of the Wild and Wonderful White Family. The legendary family is as known for their wild, excessive criminal ways as they are for their famous mountain dancing members, including Jesco White, the star of the cult classic documentary "Dancing Outlaw." Exploring both the comic and tragic sides of life on the other side of the law, this stylish, fast-paced family portrait exposes the powerful forces of corruption, poverty, and West Virginia's environmentally and culturally devastating coal mining culture that helped shape the White family, a dying breed of outlaws preserving a dying form of dance

Path to Priesthood: One Month Until Ordination
Radmar Jao is officially one month away from being ordained a priest, and if there is one thing he wants this vlog edition to communicate, it is his excitement at this next stage of his life as a Jesuit.
"I'm feeling excited that the time is coming…This is not the end of a journey. No, if anything the excitement is really in the knowing that a new stage of my life is beginning," says Radmar.
As we follow Jao on his journey to ordination in June, leave a comment or ask a question here on the National Jesuit News blog, comment on YouTube or on Twitter via @AskAJesuit and he will respond in an upcoming future video diary. Check back weekly for more video diaries from Jao.
2 Responses to "Path to Priesthood: One Month Until Ordination"
I would like to wish you all the best and I will pray for you when I say my rosary every day.
God Bless,
Have used Youtube with religion class -junior high- really great connection with acting and Philippines.
Followed blog entries – particularly 'discernment'
Envy the time the religious have to be intentional about their lives.
My experience seems to be looking for God after the fact rather than taking time and having guidance and support before the fact!
Everything seems to be so urgent to the young – developing a prayer life can be mechanical.
There may be observance without satisfactory relationship with Christ.
It seems prayer is the difference and the key, but even then guidance and community are needed.
There is so much lacking for the average person to live a spiritually satisfying life.
Many thanks for 'going public.'
You have our prayers.

ATLANTA (AP) — Dutchman Thiemo de Bakker beat second-seeded Kevin Anderson of South Africa 6-4, 7-5 on Thursday night in the rain-delayed second round of the Atlanta Open to advance to the quarterfinals.
De Bakker retired from his final qualifying match because of a sore neck and still made the field as one of three "Lucky Losers" following the late withdrawals of Gaels Monfils, Richard Gasquet and Radek Stepanek.
De Bakker, ranked 142nd in the world, overcame a 5-3 deficit in the second set.
Ben Becker of Germany also had an upset win, topping seventh-seeded Yen-hsun Lu of Taiwan 6-4, 6-3.
In late matches, topped John Isner faced follow American Robby Ginepri, and eighth-seeded Marinko Matosevic of Australia played Tim Smyczek of the United States.

| Various Drug Industry News, None of It All That Good »
Posted by Derek
For the most part, the biologists on a drug discovery project expect us in the med-chem labs to be able to make pretty much anything we need to make. Actually, I don't have to go that far – the other chemists more or less expect that, too. Chemistry's a big field, with a lot of reactions and techniques, and if you want some particular structure badly enough, there are usually ways to get to it.
But not always, and not always by routes that you're willing to put up with. That's especially true early in a project when you need some robust chemistry to turn out a lot of diverse analogs quickly, so you can have some idea of which parts of the molecule are most important. Synthetic trouble at this stage is frustrating for everyone involved.
I was on a project a few years ago that ran into this exact problem. Compounding the pain was the way the lead compound looked when it was up on a screen during a meeting: small, perfectly reasonable, easy to deal with. Hah! It was a werewolf, that thing. None of the ideas that we had ever worked out the first time, and many of them never worked out the last time, either. Meeting after meeting would take the same format when there were outside managers or other chemists present: "But why don't you just. . ." "We did. It doesn't work." "But then you should try. . ." "We know. We tried that. It doesn't work." "Well, OK, but then you could always come around and. . ." "We could. If it worked. But it doesn't."
New chemists would be added on to the program to try to get things moving, and they'd always come in rolling up their sleeves, muttering "Do I have to do everything myself around here. . ." How do I know? Because I was one of them. Within a month or two, though, I was in the same shape as everyone else on the project, looking at a bunch of NMRs and mass spec traces and trying to figure out what went wrong. Meanwhile, helpful folks would wander past the whiteboard and ask me how come we hadn't tried the reaction that had just failed for the eleventh time. Eventually we learned to offer the more persistent questioners a supply of our starting material so they could solve the problem themselves and be heroic, but nothing ever came of that.
The project managed to stagger to a clinical candidate, but ran into mechanistic problems in the more advanced animal models. (That was really the hot fudge topping on the whole sundae – this was one of those therapeutic areas whose definitive animal models were too complex and costly to run until you were absolutely sure you had The Compound). I haven't run into one quite like this since, and with any luck, I never will.

It is so true that Syntheses always seem to look great on paper (whiteboard) but somehow manage to not work so well in the lab. In grad school it gets written up as "Routes to" but in Industry the situation is usually less forgiving.
2. emjeff on September 29, 2008 10:26 AM writes...
I'm not a chemist, but the scenario sounds familiar in my experience in early phase clinical development. Some people will leave the team, and a new person will come on to replace them. The first few meetings are painful, as Johnny (or Jane)-come-lately has all sorts of helpful suggestions about how things could have been done differently. The constant need to justify decisions that were made by other people after a lot of careful thought to a person who's been on the project for mere minutes can wear on one quickly...
3. processchemist on September 29, 2008 10:30 AM writes...
This reminds me of a project I've been involved with. At the end of 90's after the Allegra case it was quite hard to find a pharma/biotech asking for low prices in change of absurd milestones or, better (or worse) high royalties. The company I was working for signed for a project of this kind with a small small biotech asking for the cheapest price for a scale up.
There was something wrong in the transmitted synthesis (isoamayl nitrite solution in acqueous HCl, for example). To keep the cost as low as possible the project manager established no small scale validation of the transmitted synthesis but small scale test for every single step followed by a fast scale up. After 40 days of work the first three steps were working (with a different chemistry). After 45 days there was 3 Kg of intermediate 3 (two more steps to the target). After 60 days no sign of life for steps 4 and 5. After 70 days I was not more on the project. 5 months later I was quitting the company. 7 months later somebody told me that finally from the 3 Kg somebody obtained 2 gram of target.
4. milkshake on September 29, 2008 12:34 PM writes...
I found myself several times in a situation when somebody pased on me a procedure to scale-up, one that was clearly unfinished and/or from a patent example that screamed "prophetic".
If you are a contract scale-up small company you end up burned easily - especially if you try to underbid everybody else on price. I think the only way to bid on this kind of situation is to offer a small-scale, pilot run first.
I heard of hilarious mishap that occured at a small company that was doing Tauber oxidation of phenol to quinone using Fremy's salt. This stoechiometric reagent is very expensive and not stable at all. It was supposed to be done in aqueous solution so they did not think putting the solid reagent ino a reactor that was stil wet after the cleanup was bad thing to do. A self-catalysed exotherm decomposition commenced and $20k worth of Fremy's salt went up in brown smoke; fortunately no-one was hurt.
5. chemguy on September 29, 2008 7:18 PM writes...
Unfortunately what winds up happening is that everyone looks at you like you're some kind of a hack if you don't get it to work.
I also remember once being asked by an upper level manager on the clinical side "WHY DON'T YOU JUST make compounds that are safe"?
All this further proves the point, that management and investors don't really have the stones to support the really tough chemistry. The current state of small molecule drug discovery is such that we've barely scratched the surface.
6. Led light on September 29, 2008 7:44 PM writes...
Reminds me of the questions you often get at seminars where a grad student or postdoc talks about problems with, say, a carbonyl reduction. Some bright spark will stick up his hand and say "did you try cyanoborohydride?" or some equally obvious reducing agent. *Sigh* yes we tried that.
7. François Auguste Victor Grin Yard on September 30, 2008 6:13 AM writes...
When I am well into some frustrating chemistry, I find it is annoying but useful to have some naive input. One can get fixated on the manifold branches and forget to revisit the basics. The corollary of this is the utility of having some kind of complete and up to date database of what chemistries have been done so the neophyte can be directed to a place where the obvious questions can be satisfied in silent contemplation.
chemguy: Isn't that a Dilbert strip, where Dilbert tells the PHB that a sticking point in the project had been overcome on the tenth attempt, and the PHB asks why Dilbert didn't try the way that worked first?

RTW: Can I suggest an Electronic notebook?
Yes, that is an excellent front end to a complete database. The problem is that the model of enotebook/database makes a whole lot of sense - until management gets the estimate. Then it's "Well, maybe we can get along with paper for another year."
Derek, how about a thread about the current state of chemically-intelligent databases?

I almost think you've told this story before. Not that it can't bear repeating.

Any one have a connection to the afterlife? I'm sure Woodword would be able to make it.
12. CMC guy on October 1, 2008 10:59 AM writes...
#11 JS in a way Woodward still does live on and is till contributing via many great publications and multple students/post-docs that went though his labs. IMO that is probably the greatest legacy that someone in academia can have. I was taught by one such person so have an indirect connection.
13. processchemist on October 1, 2008 11:42 AM writes...
The total synthesis of reserpine by Woodward was an astounding masterpiece. Maybe his counterpart on the industry side has been the the Merck Bile Acid Cortisone Process. All with no NMR, LC-MS, HPLC. And I fear we're talking about lost arts.
14. CMC guy on October 1, 2008 6:06 PM writes...
processchemist nice thoughts; I know Merck once was such a force in cutting edge Process Development. We do seem to be spoiled with all the modern tools and is amazing what was acheived without benefit of such. Its even more impressive to repeat a (German) pre-WW1 procedures and confirm they got the products only characterized by a MP and appearance back then.

ALPENA, Mich. — When disaster strikes, Air National Guard medical teams are called upon to save lives. That's why 47 members of the 162nd Medical Group from Tucson International Airport deployed here for Expeditionary Medical Support, or EMEDS, training at the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center here, June 23-30.
The devastation of natural disasters, such as 2005's Hurricane Katrina, present many humanitarian challenges. When fixed medical facilities and hospitals become overwhelmed or nonoperational as a result of the calamity, the National Guard plays a vital role in not only ensuring law and order and food distribution, but also provides much needed medical attention to the surrounding population.
The Arizona medics made the trip to northern Michigan to set up and operate from Alaskan Shelter Tent Systems – mobile hospitals with 25 available beds each. In true expeditionary style, seven members of the 162nd Force Support Squadron fed the group warm meals and boxed lunches from a containerized kitchen.
Tech. Sgt. Sam Chaney, a dental technician, described the temporary medical facilities as condensed, mini-hospitals, with labs, operating rooms, emergency rooms, intensive care units, forensics, logistics and a ward.
"If you can make it to an EMED tent, your rate of survival increases immensely,†said Chaney.
Training center inspectors observed the medical crew during the eight-day training period, evaluating their ability to handle critical situations that resulted from a host of scenarios including building fires, earthquakes and active shooters.
According to Lt. Col. Christine Rhodes, hospital administrator for the group, the cadre of inspectors assisted in identifying strengths and weaknesses while preparing them for deployments overseas or within the United States.
"They were looking to see if you can play the game in the real world as you do in training, addressing any shortfalls that exist during the mission,†said Rhodes.
The Arizona Guardsmen worked alongside three additional Air Guard medical groups for the common purpose of stabilizing patients before moving them on to the next echelon of care.

Worried by the rising cost of subsidising imported petroleum products by the Federal Government, the President, Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors, Mr. Agele Alufohai, has backed the planned removal of subsidy.
He said the removal of subsidy on petroleum products would be of immense benefit to the country's socio-economic development.
Alufohai gave the backing in a goodwill message he delivered at the fourth Annual Distinguished Lecture Series of the Lagos chapter of the institute on the theme, "Total Deregulation of the Downstream Petroleum Sub-sector: Aftermath and Effects on the Real Sector of the Economy."
According to him, the fixation on subsidy only indicates Nigeria's minimal expectation and low ambition quotient, which is not a substitute for the smart government planning and effective regulation that is required to build functioning modern societies.
He said, "Do we seriously believe that subsidising the consumption of fuel in a few cities in a country where the majority live in the rural areas – places where a higher proportion of jobs and non-oil income and exports are generated – is the best way to diversify our economy and create jobs?
"What is the sense in spending so much money on subsidised fuel amid dilapidated transportation infrastructure?"
The NIQS president, however, commended the protests in different parts of the country against the arbitrary removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government in January, saying that would make the government more responsive to the citizens.
He, however, said the demonstrations had not resolved the core issues that were plaguing the nation's oil industry such as corruption, inefficiency, lack of investment and discouragement, among others.
Alufohai said the controversy surrounding subsidy removal arose because of lack of trust in government; the relationship between economic policy, transparency and corruption; and the strategy of civil society groups and opposition politicians to make government accountable in a growing democracy.
He urged Nigerians to be involved more in citizenship engagement and monitoring systems that would not only guarantee the evolvement of quality ideas to ensure that the nation's resources were put to productive uses, but also provide for greater regulatory constraints to prevent public officials from abuse of office.
"Governance is about creative solutions; reaching progressive bargains between the governed and the government," he said.
Describing fuel subsidy as unsustainable, Alufohai said only a guided deregulation of the downstream sector of the oil and gas industry would ensure that Nigerians enjoyed tangible and equitable economic benefits that democracy offered.

Ron heard George's voice in the fireplace and he came out from the kitchen to answer him. Mum was out – she was helping over at Penelope's place. Getting Penny adjusted to the new baby, Arthur Percival, was proving difficult. Ron and Hermione had gone over to visit a few days ago, and when they arrived, they found Penny rocking Arthur in her chair, both of them bawling. Ron gave a little shiver. He couldn't imagine losing Hermione. It would kill him. Penny was so strong, but seeing little Arthur, with his father's eyes and hair, was hard on her.
"What is it, George?" Ron asked. "She's over at Penny's."
"Oh," George said. "Well…have you seen Fred?"
"What?" Ron furrowed his brows in confusion.
"Have you seen Fred? I thought it was a simple question."
"No, I haven't. Why?"
"Well, he and Angelina were going out yesterday, and I haven't seen him since. I mean, that's not all that uncommon, but I did need him to cover the store for me. I've got to do the banking today."
Ron shrugged. "Well, they haven't shown up here, but if I see him, I'll tell him you're looking for him."
"Sounds good, thanks Ron."
"Oh wait," Ron called as George prepared to break the connection. "Mum's planning a family dinner tomorrow night – she was going to call you later anyway. It's just a little get together, mainly to get Penny out of her flat for a while. Harry's going to be here, and Hermione's coming down from Hogwarts for the evening. Bill's in town on business and will be here as well. When you see Fred, tell him to bring Angelina."
"Will do. Thanks!"
George disappeared and Ron went back to busying himself with addressing envelopes. He and Hermione had finally decided on a new date for their wedding. Halloween was a perfect day. It was a Saturday, which meant Hermione wouldn't be working. The new invitations had to go out quickly, however, and he busied himself with his assigned stack.
I wonder where Fred and Angelina have wandered off to, Ron asked himself as he took up his quill.
-- -- -- --
There was still no word from Fred and Angelina by the next night at dinner. Even George was beginning to be a little concerned. Mrs. Weasley would have been beside herself if the point of the evening hadn't been to cheer up Penny.
"So, how is the wedding planning coming, Ron?" Mr. Weasley asked, passing the potatoes and desperately trying to make conversation that would distract Molly from fretting about Fred.
"Well," Ron began, "we're working on the invitations…."
Suddenly, with a loud double pop, Fred and Angelina stood in the kitchen at the Burrow. Everyone turned to stare.
Fred was wearing a disheveled Muggle suit jacket with his tie hanging undone. Angelina had on a skirt and blouse, and in her hair was a hoop with white lace draped down from it. It looked very much like a cheap wedding veil. They were grinning from ear to ear.
"Fred! Where the bloody hell have you been?" George roared, jumping up.
"America," Fred replied, laughing and giving his brother a hug.
"America?" several voices chorused.
"What were you doing there?"
"We went to Las Vegas," Angelina said. Beside Ron, Hermione gave a little squeak.
"What?" Ron asked, turning to Hermione.
"Well," Hermione said, blushing, "when young couples disappear suddenly and say they're going to Las Vegas, they usually mean…well… You didn't, did you?" Hermione addressed her question to Fred and Angelina, who nodded enthusiastically.
"Mean what?" Mrs. Weasley asked. "What do they do in Las Vegas?"
"Elope," Hermione said weakly.
"Elope?" George, Harry, and Mr. Weasley hollered.
"You got married?" Penny asked.
"Fred?" Molly was stunned.
"Yep!" Fred's grin threatened to split his face if it got any wider. "We got married by a Muggle dressed up as Elvis."
"What?" Harry crowed. "You got married by an Elvis impersonator?"
"Who's Elvis?" George asked his brother.
"I don't know," Fred admitted, shrugging. "But we sure thought it was funny."
"Is it…legal?" Mr. Weasley asked tentatively.
"Oh, sure thing, Dad," Fred said. "I've got the certificate to prove it."
"I don't believe this," Mrs. Weasley said. "You got married? Without telling any of us?"
Fred cringed. This was a live-and-in-person Howler waiting to happen.
"Well, we were out couple of nights ago, and we just decided, 'Let's do it.' It was a spur-of-the-moment thing."
Bill, who had thus far remained silent, suddenly broke out laughing. Everyone turned to him.
"It make sense," he laughed. "When have the two of them ever done anything conventionally? Of course he had to elope. This one," he said, punching George lightly in the arm as he stood up, "will probably do it too." He grabbed Fred and gave him a hug. "Congratulations, little bro." He kissed Angelina on the cheek. "Don't know what you see in him, but welcome to the family anyway."
It broke the ice, and soon everyone was exchanging hugs and congratulations. Even Molly just ended up shaking her head at the two newlyweds.
"I'm very pleased and proud for both of you," she said. "Welcome to the family, Angelina dear," she said.
"Thank you, Mrs. Weasley."
"Oh, posh, call me Molly."
Angelina only smiled. Hermione could sympathize. She wasn't quite ready to do that either, despite Molly's invitation.
"Oh, and here's the best part!" Fred announced, pulling out a bag. "We brought you all presents from America!" He rummaged in the bag. "Let me see here. Now, the Muggles in Las Vegas like to build their casinos with some kind of theme, so the wizards have done the same thing. You'll appreciate this Bill. We stayed in a place called the Sphinx. It was even built to look like a Sphinx." Fred drew out a small statue of a Sphinx. It had a fountain in front with real running water and trees around it. The lights inside the windows blinked on and off. "For Mum," he said, handing the little model of their hotel over.
"Why, um, thank you," Molly said, eyeing the model warily. "I'll put it on the mantle."
Fred grinned. "It's okay, Mum, we also brought you back this." He pulled out a book entitled: Cocina Mágica: Southwestern Specialties, Like Magic! "Thought you might enjoy flipping through the recipes."
"Thank you!" Molly said, relieved and truly thankful. "I do love a good cookbook."
"For Dad." Fred drew a small object out of his bag. "Angelina, will you do the honors?"
Angelina drew her wand and pointed it at the object. "Finite Incantatem," she said.
The small object soon was a large object – a riot of color and lights with a big bell on top.
"What is it?" Mr. Weasley asked, fascinated.
"It's a slot machine!" Hermione exclaimed. Fred nodded.
"We figured, what better thing to bring for Dad than something from a Muggle casino? See, you put the coin in, then pull the arm down, and if the three pictures in the window match a certain combination, you win money. Muggles lose fortunes to these things."
"Where did you get it?" Harry asked.
"Oh, we nicked it."
"You what?" Penny's eyes widened in shock.
"You stole a slot machine?" Hermione was likewise scandalized.
"Way to go!" George said, giving his brother a high five.
"The casino we were in had hundreds of them. We explored the Strip when we went into downtown Las Vegas to get married. When no one was looking, Angelina put a Shrinking Charm on one that was close to the end of a row, and I pocketed it. They'll never notice."
Hermione was examining the slot machine. "Property of the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino."
Fred shrugged. "They had tons of 'em. Something new for you to play with Dad."
Mr. Weasley's eyes had lit up like a child's at Christmas, and everyone was sure he'd missed the entire conversation concerning the less-than-legal origins of his gift.
Molly looked as if she were on the verge of exploding. She opened her mouth but made no sound as she looked back and forth between Fred, Angelina and her husband, who was entranced by his new toy. They were all so happy. Finally, she closed her mouth and threw up her hands in exasperation. "You'll be hearing about this later, Fredrick Weasley."
"Sure thing, Mum," Fred said with a grin as he resumed rummaging through his bag, obviously keen to change the subject.
"Let's see, for Ron," Fred mumbled, and after a few seconds he pulled out a stack of photos. "Some souvenir photographs," he chuckled. Angelina was glaring at him. "Took 'em myself Ron, though my lovely bride here got a little bent out of shape."
Ron took the photographs. They were wizard photos of barely dressed women dancing.
"Showgirls!" Hermione glared at Fred. "You brought back pictures of Las Vegas showgirls for Ron?"
"And here, Hermione," Fred said quickly, "a book: Las Vegas: A History."
Hermione was still glaring at him as Harry and Ron laughed heartily.
"Don't worry Hermione, I'll make him pay for it," Angelina said. "Besides," she said, grinning conspiratorially, "while he was busy at his show, I found a good place to take some pictures of my own, which I'll give to Ginny." Angelina winked.
"Hey! Don't you go poisoning my baby sister!" Fred said. "Besides, that'd only work if it was pictures of Harry you were taking."
Harry blushed to his toes.
"Come off it, Fred," Bill said. "Don't embarrass either of them. You know what will happen to you if she hears about it."
Fred paled a little bit at Bill's comment.
"She's not seeing anyone right now, right?" Angelina asked Hermione. Hermione shook her head.
"Doesn't mean she doesn't want to be," Ron muttered, a little louder than he should have because Harry shot him a sharp glance.
"Let's see…oh, speaking of Harry, here you go mate. Found it in the hotel gift shop."
Fred tossed Harry a t-shirt, which read: Co-ed Naked Quidditch: Ever scored on a broom?
"Fredrick Jonathon Weasley!" Molly roared, scandalized. "What kind of gift is that?"
"A funny one, Mum," George chuckled, coming to his twin's defense. "Hell of a shirt, Harry."
"Something I can wear playing Quidditch," Harry said, grinning. "I'd wear it on my morning run, but I think it would attract too much attention in my neighborhood." Harry had rented a flat in a Muggle neighborhood outside London.
"They're all the rage in the States, apparently. Muggles have them too, for their own sports and things." Fred reached back in the bag. "T-shirt for you too, George."
George held up his shirt. My Brother got married in Las Vegas and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. Everyone had a good laugh as George gave his twin a smack across the back of the head.
"Got some stuff to try in the store, too," Fred continued, "but we can experiment with that later." Fred paused, and reached into the bag again. "Now, let's see. Wasn't expecting to see you Bill, but we do have something for you. Ah, yes."
Fred drew out a box and held it out. Bill opened it up and pulled out an earring made out of a poker chip. Everyone except Molly had a good laugh. "I like it," Bill said. "Thanks."
"No problem," Angelina said, smiling. "And for Penny and Arthur." She pulled out a little baby jumper that had "I love Las Vegas" written on the front of it.
"Oh!" Penny smiled. "It's so cute! He'll look great in it. Thank you."
"Oh, no problem," Fred said, waving it off. "So, we just wanted to let you know," he said.
"Well, you really gave us a shock," Molly said. "I still can't believe you didn't tell us! Fred, how could you…?"
"Molly," Arthur said firmly, "not now." Arthur favored Fred and Angelina with a smile. "We're very pleased for you," he said.
"Yeah," Harry said. "You managed to steal your brother's thunder. Something to distract us temporarily from the Weasley-Granger follies."
Fred, George, and Bill all laughed, while Hermione glared at Harry.
"Oh, come off it, luv," Ron said, patting Hermione on her shoulder. "It's all in good fun. And Harry's right, this is something to celebrate."
"Indeed!" Mr. Weasley said. "I think this calls for a drink!" He waved his wand and a bottle of firewiskey came soaring in from the living room. He began pouring drinks.
"So, what was America like?" Ron asked.
"Well, Las Vegas is in the middle of the desert," Angelina said.
"So there's not much else to see, besides the casinos and the showgirls," Fred admitted.
"There was an advertisement for the hotel in the window of the travel agency in Diagon Alley, and the whole thing just came together. We used the international Floo connection at the Leaky Cauldron. The wizarding community is up in the hills, a little ways away from Muggle Las Vegas, but they've created an Apparition point in an abandoned casino. We went downtown, found a 24-hour wedding chapel, and got married by an Elvis impersonator. We spent the next day or so just trolling around the Strip and picking up souvenirs. It was a blast. We saw a bunch of famous Muggles singing, but I can't remember any of their names."
"Yeah," Fred said, "it wasn't really all that memorable in terms of the entertainment, but we had a blast. We had some Galleons changed over to Muggle money. We played the slot machines and gambled a little at the tables. We had a great time."
"Well, congratulations," Penny said. "You guys are very lucky."
"We know," Angelina said, smiling.
"Yeah, and we're sorry for running out on all of you," Fred admitted. "I feel kind of bad about that."
"Yeah, we're sorry if we worried anybody. That's why we came back so soon. We would have stayed longer, but we were concerned."
"I was starting to get worried," George admitted. "But mainly because I didn't have anyone to help with the store." Everyone laughed. "Don't worry, though, I'll get it out of you somehow."
"So, where are you going to live?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Well," Fred admitted, "we haven't figured that part out yet. For now, we were wondering if we could stay here in my old room until we can make some renovations to the rooms above the store."
George nodded. "That makes sense."
"You can stay here, of course, Fred," Molly said, shaking her head. "I still can't believe you did this."
"Neither can we," Fred offered. "Well," he said, looking at Angelina, "we have to go visit Angelina's parents before we come back here for the evening."
"You haven't been there yet?"
"No, we thought we'd start here," Angelina said. "Fred's a little nervous."
"You told us first?" Molly sniffed. "How sweet." She gave Fred a final hug. "Go on now, get going. I'll have some dinner waiting for you when you get back."
"Thanks, Mum," Fred said, smiling. With a pop, they Disaparated.
"Well," Mr. Weasley said, after a pause. "Would someone please pass the roast beef?"
