MRes/PhD Programme in Organic Chemistry: Drug Discovery
This 4-year programme offers students the opportunity to follow an integrated course of research and interdisciplinary study, in response to the needs of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors for highly qualified postgraduate students as leaders in the discovery of new medicines.
The core of this programme provides outstanding training in synthetic organic chemistry applied to drug design. Students gain a breadth of experience in several areas of synthetic methodology before focusing on their main PhD research project. The first year of the course constitutes a formal MRes qualification and can be taken as a standalone course. In the first year students carry out two synthetic organic chemistry rotation projects and a biological rotation, as well as attending taught courses in synthetic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology and molecular modelling.
There is a mixture of academic-led and industrially-led PhD research projects for students to choose from, with studentships supported by the EPSRC, the MRC, Novartis and by other industrial sponsors. Each PhD research project has as the ultimate goal the delivery of successful early-phase drug discovery projects, in collaboration with leading biomedical research groups at UCL and at an industrial sponsor working at the cutting edge of biomedical research.
For many years UCL has had major research and teaching interests in drug discovery and medicinal chemistry. The first undergraduate degree programme in Medicinal Chemistry in the UK was started at UCL in 1974, following discussions between Professor James Black from the Department of Pharmacology and Professor Charles Vernon from the Department of Chemistry, and is still continuing today.
Since the solution of the human genome project there has been an exponential growth in the identification of new biological targets of potential importance to human disease, many of which offer opportunities for the development of small molecule therapeutics. It is increasingly recognised that leading universities can play an important role in carrying out the early-phase drug discovery process, as well as providing the next generation of research leaders in this field.
The School of Life and Medical Sciences (incorporating the Medical School) at UCL brings together one of the world's major concentrations of biomedical researchers, with ground breaking translational work underpinned by excellence in basic science, and a depth and breadth of biomedical research which is the strongest in the UK.
Programme Structure
The first year of the programme constitutes a formal MRes degree which can also be taken as a standalone qualification. During the first 12 months, students take taught courses in drug design, advanced organic synthesis and molecular modelling, ensuring that they have a thorough foundation in these subjects.
In the first year, students also carry out two synthetic organic chemistry rotation projects, each lasting for five months. One of these rotation projects is linked to the final PhD project, and students have a free choice of the second rotation. Details of projects that have been offered to students in previous years are shown in the Project Titles tab.
At the end of the four months each student write a first year thesis describing their research on both synthetic organic chemistry rotation projects, and have a viva on this thesis.
Following successful completion of the MRes year (assessed via a thesis and viva), the student selects their final PhD project. Each student then carries out a short rotation in the laboratory of the collaborating biomedical research group at UCL or at an industrial sponsor, giving the student an interdisciplinary training in biomedical sciences.
In the second, third and fourth years each student continues research in their chosen PhD topic. The research is mainly based at UCL Chemistry, but also includes further placements at the industrial partner's laboratories where appropriate.
Progress is monitored by a thesis committee, comprising chemistry and biomedical sciences supervisors and an independent advisor, which mentor the student throughout the programme. At the end of the second year the student presents a research report and a literature survey, and at the end of the third year the student presents a research report and a poster at the departmental poster day. These are assessed by the thesis committee. At the end of the fourth year the student gives a research seminar.
Project Titles
List of projects offered to students in previous years:
Par1 Inhibition and Respiratory Disease - Steve Caddick
CASE Award with industrial sponsor
- PI - Professor Steve Caddick, Department of Chemistry, UCL
- Co-I - Dr Richard Fitzmaurice, Department of Chemistry, UCL
- Co-I - Dr Rachel Chambers, Centre for Respiratory Disease, Division of Medicine, UCL
Acute lung injury is a major unmet medical need and there are very few methods for diagnosis and treatment. Many tissues within the body respond to various injurious insults by activating the coagulation cascade, a tightly regulated proteolytic system responsible for directing the formation of a fibrinous clot or plug at the site of injury as a key initial step in a repair process. In a number of disease states including chronic fibrotic lung diseases and acute lung injury, the balance of factors directed towards fibrin formation and deposition appears to be inappropriately skewed over time, even in the potential absence of the initiating insult, contributing significantly to debilitating and ultimately fatal lung damage. Proteinase-activated receptors (PARs; 1-4) are 7-transmembrane GPCRs with tethered ligands which are activated by cleavage of the extra-cellular receptor N-terminus by thrombin and other coagulation mediators. PAR1 is the high affinity thrombin receptor and activation by thrombin and another coagulation mediator factor Xa, results in the induction of multiple pro-fibrotic mediators promoting enhanced lung fibroblast proliferation, extracellular matrix production and myofibroblast differentiation. Pathogenic lung re-modelling caused by such processes has been experimentally reversed in experiments and has revealed this particular PAR receptor as a potential drug target for chronic fibrotic lung disease (such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; IPF). The TRAP peptide, SFLLRN-NH2, of the natural tethered receptor ligand has provided a successful basis for discovery of small molecule PAR-1 antagonists for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. We propose to carry out a detailed SAR of these species directed toward the treatment of a variety of respiratory diseases. The synthetic work will focus initially on developing SAR on a known PAR-1 inhibitor.
Synthesis of Compounds with Enhanced Potential for the Oral Treatment of Asthma - Helen Hailes
CASE Award with industrial sponsor
Treatment of asthma is still carried out for the large part through steroids oral and inhaled. Oral steroids, although effective in treating asthma, have significant side effects, which mean that there is still a need to develop safer oral treatments. The project aims to design and synthesise novel orally bio-available small molecules with dual pharmacology to enable interaction with two validated pro-inflammatory biological cascades, yielding compounds with enhanced potential to treat asthma. The project will utilise novel synthetic methodology, medicinal chemistry and computational design to achieve the discovery of the target compounds.
Design of novel selective histone deacetylase HDAC 11 inhibitors - Charles Marson
CASE Award with industrial sponsor
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are the most important regulators of gene expression known to the emerging science of epigenetics. At least eighteen different types (isoforms) of mammalian HDACs have been described, one or morepertaining to almost every major category of disease known. Given the immense potential for novel therapies based on HDACs, it is unsurprising that HDAC inhibitors have received intense interest in recent years [1].
In this project, one particular isoform of HDAC is to be targeted, owing to its relevance to the biology of asthma and other chronic inflammatory diseases of the airway. Although there has been little or no drug development concerning this isoform, the clinical HDAC inhibitor MGCD0103, an anti-cancer agent, shows some inhibition for the relevant isoform.
In this project, starting from the structure of MGCD0103 we will design new compounds to probe and optimise isoform inhibition. That will be aided by molecular modeling of ligands into the active site of the HDAC.
This project offers training in synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry, developing agents against a novel target, and with excellent industrial support by GlaxoSmithKline.

Synthesis of Biologically Active Oxetanes and Azetidines - Tom Sheppard
Four-membered rings are synthetically challenging targets with many potential uses in medicinal chemistry due to their rigid well-defined structure. However, their use is currently limited by the lack of available methods for the stereocontrolled synthesis of substituted derivatives. This is particularly true for highly substituted oxetanes and azetidines which are of considerable interest in a wide range of medicinal chemistry projects in the pharmaceutical industry, but are difficult to access using existing chemistry. In this project we are particularly interested in developing new synthetic routes to substituted azetidines. The introduction of an azetidine ring into a lead compound structure, in place of a piperidine ring for example, can often impart greater metabolic stability whilst maintaining high levels of activity.
Development of tracers for imaging of excitatory neurotransmission with PET and SPECT - Erik Årstad
- PI - Dr Erik Årstad, Department of Chemistry and Division of Medicine, UCL
- Co-I - Dr Mark Lythgoe, Institute of Child Health, UCL
Over activation of excitatory neurotransmission can result in excessive accumulation of Ca2+ ions in neurons, leading to excitotoxicity and neuronal death. The resulting localised neuronal destruction is a central event in many acute and chronic brain disorders, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy. Development of tracers for imaging of excitatory neurotransmission with positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) may therefore enable early detection of neurodegenerative diseases, and would be of tremendous value for drug development. We propose to develop state-dependent ion channel radioligands for imaging of excitatory neurotransmission.
Anti-cancer therapeutics and a new pro-drug strategy - Jamie Baker
- PI - Dr James Baker, Department of Chemistry, UCL
- Co-I - Prof Andy Tinker, Division of Medicine, UCL
- Co-I - Prof Steve Caddick, Department of Chemistry, UCL
This project has two aims; 1) The design and synthesis of stabilised analogues of the peptide hormone somatostatin. Such analogues are widely sought for many clinical applications, including cancer treatment, due to the instability of somatostatin itselfin vivo. 2) The development of a new pro-drug strategy. Pro-drugs are extremely important in cutting-edge drug-development (such as magic-bullet therapy) as they prevent many undesired side effects and maximise efficacy.
Chemical screen for activators of epicardium-derived progenitor cells in cardiac repair and regeneration - Steve Caddick
- PI - Professor Steve Caddick, Department of Chemistry, UCL
- Co-I - Dr Paul Riley, Institute of Child Health, UCL
- Co-I - Dr Joaquim Vieira, Institute of Child Health, UCL
We propose a phenotypic chemical screen using an in-house UCL Chemistry small molecule library for activators of a recently described population of adult epicardium-derived progenitor cells (EPDCs). EPDCs have the potential to contribute de novo blood vessels and cardiac muscle in the setting of ischaemic heart disease and myocardial infarction ("heart attack"). High throughput epicardial explants will be screened with small molecules against end points of cellular migration, proliferation and differentiation and further assessed for quantitative structure activity relationships. Affinity purification assays will be used to implicate candidate molecules with known functional biochemical signalling pathways in terms of EPDC phenotype and cell fate.
In silico design, chemical synthesis and crystallographic characterisation of TK inhibitors for targeted cell and tumor growth-rate suppression - Helen Hailes
- PI - Dr Helen Hailes, Department of Chemistry, UCL
- Co-I - Dr Paul Dalby, Department of Biochemical Engineering, UCL
- Co-I - Professor John Ward, Structural and Molecular Biology, UCLT
The aim of the project is to design and synthesise a novel class of organism specific TK inhibitors that are not based on TPP analogues. A combination of computational ligand screening and high-throughput experimentation will be used to identify TK inhibitors for targeted cell and tumour growth-rate suppression. Analogues will be designed that are inherently straightforward to synthesise, and that are potent and specific inhibitors of only one TK homolog.
Small Molecule-Annexin probes: In silico Design, Synthesis, and Annexin Specificity - Helen Hailes
- PI - Dr Helen Hailes, Department of Chemistry, UCL
- Co-I - Dr Stephen Moss, Institute of Ophthalmology, UCL
- Co-I - Dr Paul Dalby, Department of Biochemical Engineering, UCL
Annexins are Ca2+ and phospholipid binding proteins, expressed in both animals and plants, that are characterised by a highly α-helical and tightly packed protein core domain. The structures of many annexins have been elucidated and the biological function of several annexins is now understood. The challenge now is to identify small novel molecules for applications such as therapeutics, or as molecular probes with high affinity and specificity to individual annexins such as annexin 2, over other related proteins. By inhibiting the interactions between annexin 2 and its various ligands these would have potential uses in clinical (prostate) cancer treatments and as research tools to study annexin function in cell culture models.
Novel Antagonists of the Human Histamine H4 Receptor to counter Itch and Inflammatory Diseases - Charles Marson
- PI - Professor Charles Marson, Department of Chemistry, UCL
- Co-I - Dr. Steve Marsh, Department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology, UCL
The aim of this project is to synthesise, validate and patent a novel class of antagonists of the human histamine H4 receptor and to evaluate them as agents to diminish pruritus (itch).
Development of new small molecule probes and therapeutics targeting the allosteric binding site of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, and its structural definition - Charles Marson
- PI - Professor Charles Marson, Department of Chemistry, UCL
- Co-I - Professor Neil Millar, Department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology, UCL
Our aim is to determine the pharmacophore pattern (the essential shape and charge distribution needed for a drug to bind to a receptor) corresponding to the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, and hence to develop effective, drug-like modulators of the α7 receptor that could ameliorate neurological and psychiatric disorders including Alzheimer's and schizophrenia.
Development of nitroimidazole MRI contrasting agents for the investigation of hypoxia - Michael J Porter
- PI - Michael J. Porter, Department of Chemistry, UCL
- Co-I - James Anderson, Department of Chemistry, UCL
- Co-I - Harry Parkes, Institute of Neurology, UCL
- Co-I - Ken Smith, Institute of Neurology, UCL
Despite the clinical importance of hypoxia and ischaemia, there arecurrently no effective methods for imaging hypoxic tissues in vivo. Thisproject aims to develop new hypoxia-selective MRI contrast agents bycoupling 2-nitroimidazole ? a motif which is known to bind to hypoxic cells? with contrast agents based on gadolinium(III) and stable organic freeradicals. The agent will be assessed and refined in collaboration withcolleagues in medical research: an effective agent would be adopted inmedical practice worldwide.
Identification of small molecule inhibitors of hFis1, a mitochondrial fission protein, as a novel therapeutic strategy for acute myocardial infarction - David Selwood (WIBR)
- PI - Professor David Selwood, The Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research
- Co-I - Dr Derek J Hausenloy, The Hatter Cardiovascular Institute
The overall aim of the project is to identify a small molecule inhibitor of the mitochondrial fission protein, hFis1. This inhibitor would be a prototype novel therapeutic agent for reducing myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury, which will benefit patients with coronary heart disease.
Synthesis of subtype selective ligands for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors - Tom Sheppard
- PI - Dr Tom Sheppard, Department of Chemistry, UCL
- Co-I - Professor Neil Millar, Department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology, UCL
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are a subtype of cholinergic receptors of great importance for the effective function of the nervous system. There is considerable interest in the development of molecules (agonists, antagonists and allosteric modulators) that selectively target particular subtypes of neuronal nAChRs.1 Indeed, such compounds are currently in development as possible treatments for Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease and pain relief. In addition, the discovery of compounds that are selective for insect nAChRs has enabled the development of novel insecticides In this project we will synthesise a range of nAChR-selective ligands and investigate their mode of binding at a variety of receptor subtypes, with a view to developing a detailed understanding of how subtype selective ligands interact with the receptors, in order to successfully target nAChRs with important biological functions.
Development of selective inhibitors of Nav1.7 sodium channels - Alethea Tabor
- PI - Dr Alethea Tabor, Department of Chemistry, UCL
- Co-I - Dr Erik Årstad, Department of Chemistry, UCL
- Co-I - Professor Martin Koltzenburg, Institute of Neurology, UCL
Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) mediate fast neurotransmission and they are widely expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Ideally, blockers specific for NaV1.7 (sensory neurons) or NaV1.4 (muscle) could selectively be used to treat pain and muscle disorders without causing adverse side effects. A lead compound for selective interaction with NaV1.7 channels is the tarantula venom peptide ProTx-II, an inhibitory cystine knot (ICK) structure which has been little explored. We propose to explore the requirements for selective NaV 1.7 blockers by synthesising and evaluating a number of ProTx-II analogues with one or more of the cystine bridges replaced by thioether bridges. The resulting selective blockers will then be modified for radiolabelled with fluorine-18 with the view to develop tracers for imaging with positron emission tomography (PET).
Development of Selective Inhibitors of Cathepsin D and Cathepsin E - Alethea Tabor
- PI - Dr Alethea Tabor, Department of Chemistry, UCL
- Co-I - Professor Benjamin Chain, Immunology, UCL
Antigen processing generally involves uptake of proteins into antigen presenting cells. These proteins are then cleaved into smaller fragments by a variety of protease enzymes to give small peptide fragments, which are then displayed on the cell surface and trigger the immune response. Understanding how this process works is crucial to developing new therapeutic approaches for autoimmune diseases. In this project we will develop a series of selective inhibitors of the aspartic protease cathepsin E, based on a newly isolated natural product, grassystatin C. We have previously shown that this enzyme has a non-redundant role in antigen processing. In contrast, the closely related proteinases cathepsin D plays an important role in regulated cell death (apoptosis) and hence in the resolution of inflammation. In order to interfere with cathepsin E activity for either experimental or therapeutic purposes, it is therefore essential to have inhibitors able to distinguish between these two enzymes.
Synthesis of Novel Peptidomimetics for the Treatment of Osteoporosis - Jon Wilden
- PI - Dr Jonathan Wilden Department of Chemistry, UCL
- Co-I - Professor B. Henderson, UCL Eastman Dental Institute
Current treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis are in need of significant improvement, in particular, due to concerns arising from the major class of anti-osteoporotic drugs, the bisphosphonates. This project seeks to exploit a novel observation made in the Henderson laboratory, that a heat-shock protein (HSP60) isolated from the bacterium that causes tuberculosis is a very effective inhibitor of osteoclast formation (osteoclasts being one the bone cells responsible for naturally degrading bone and a cell implicated in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis). Synthetic peptide and truncation mutagenesis studies have identified the sequence 460-491 as being responsible for the osteoclast inhibitory activity. This project will focus on the synthesis of short peptides and peptidomimetics that have been identified from HSP60 as being responsible for this protein's osteoclast inhibitory activity.
Design and Synthesis of Inhibitors of the chloride channel CLIC1 and inhibition of NADPH oxidase activity - Jon Wilden
- PI - Dr Jonathan Wilden, Department of Chemistry, UCL
- Co-I - Professor Michael Duchen, Department of Physiology, UCL
Inappropriate activation of the enzyme NADPH oxidase has been implicated in numerous diseases including multiple sclerosis and Alzheimers's disease. Work in the Duchen lab has suggested that specific inhibition of a chloride channel (CLIC1) could be a viable therapeutic target for these diseases. Currently, only one inhibitor for this channel is known (IAA-94) but is insufficiently specific to be of therapeutic value. This project will focus on the generation of analogues of IAA-94 in order to identify new, specific and more potent inhibitors of CLIC1. At the end of the programme the student will be skilled in both organic synthesis and have hands-on experience of the biological assays used in the drug-discovery process.

Comments On Aug 26, 2014:I use the 180/55x18 on 2 different Harleys that have 18 inch rear wheels mounted on them.. Both bikes make about 125 hp at the rear wheel.. These tires provide excellent traction all the way to the limits of the bikes. One bike is an FXDX with plenty ground clearance.. The only issue is that they only last about 2500 to 3000 miles..

Comments On Dec 14, 2013:My issues w/this rear tire is, it DOES NOT STICK in the corners. Whenever I'm on the throttle taking a nice corner the whole back of the back slips a good few inches. So if you are an aggressive rider, such as I am, do not buy this tire. I've ridden this tire for about 1,000 miles now.
Again, do not expect this tire to stick in the corners... or at all in the rain.

Comments On Dec 19, 2010:I got about 7000 miles out of this one. Got about 10000 out of the Dunlop D250, but the only place to order the D250 in the size that my bike takes is Yamaha, and in Canada they want almost $500 for it.
Good value, I can buy 4 of these tires for the price of one of the Dunlops. Handles well in the rain also. Quiet, good looking, if they could just get a little more life out of it we would have a winner.

- Abstract
- In software testing, an oracle refers to a mechanism against which testers can decide whether or not outcomes of test case executions are correct. The oracle problem refers to situations when either an oracle is not available, or it is too expensive to apply. Metamorphic testing has emerged as an effective and efficient approach to alleviating the oracle problem. This article introduces the basic concepts and procedures of metamorphic testing, and gives examples to show its applications, and integration with other methods.

I wish sometimes that I kept a journal.
I don't mean a diary. I have no need for a cute little volume with flowers on the cover and whose pages I would, I fear, clog with cloying poetry inspired by a pretty vista I had seen in the mountains.
Nor am I conceiving of a Twitter-like (Twittery? Twitterish?) document which records every banal aspect of my daily routine. The Internet is quite full enough without adding to it my tally of jelly beans consumed or phone calls made and received.
What I'm thinking of, rather, is a simple chronicle that preserves for each day one or two events, the details of which I might want handy so as to revive my failing memory years later.
My inspiration in this case is a book confidently (and breathlessly) titled "The Complete Beatles Chronicle: The Only Definitive Guide to the Beatles' Entire Career on Stage, in the Studio, on Radio, TV, Film and Video."
This is, as you probably surmised, a hefty piece of work.
It seems to me, though, that the author, Mark Lewisohn, earned the right to use such an audacious title.
The book isn't quite a calendar, of course. The Beatles' career spanned more than a decade, and if a writer tried to cram in everything the Fab Four was up to on all those days, each book would have to come with a forklift so readers could haul the thing around.
Lewisohn is pretty thorough just the same.
I know, for instance, thanks to his exhaustive research, that the group recorded "Day Tripper" on Saturday, Oct. 16, 1966, working from 2:30 p.m. to midnight at EMI Studios in London.
Those facts probably won't get me a tryout for "Jeopardy!," but I still feel better for having the knowledge.
The trouble, though, with using the Beatles as a model is that my own exploits, if catalogued in a similar way, would seem even more mundane than they truly are.
And they're not exactly scintillating even when they're not competing against the greatest musical group ever.
Except for birthdays and anniversaries and other recurring milestones, I doubt I could tell you what I accomplished, besides continuous respiration, on any given day.
Take January 19 (or leave it, if you prefer; I don't mean to be bossy). I've lived through 39 of those and I don't remember what I did on any of them.
The Beatles, meanwhile, on that day in 1967, started recording "A Day In The Life."
This is a nice little detail to put on your resume.
Now I know it's unfair, and patently ridiculous, to measure myself against the likes of Lennon and McCartney. But still, all those January 19's and I can't dredge up a single substantive achievement?
I suppose I could try to make amends by starting my journal now.
I wrote this column on June 8 and 9, so there's something for two days, at least.
Except then, being a curious sort, I checked Lewisohn's book.
The Beatles, on June 8 and 9 of 1966, recorded "Good Day Sunshine," a track on what I believe to be their finest album, "Revolver."
They didn't, however, do anything more of consequence that year until June 14, according to Lewisohn's book.
I guess I feel a bit better now.
Even John, Paul and George didn't write masterpieces every day.
(I didn't forget about Ringo. But "Don't Pass Me By" and "Octopus's Garden" fall a bit short of the standard set by his three bandmates.)
You can hardly go anyplace where the people who live there won't insist that they're an unusually friendly lot.
Towns, it seems to me — or at any rate small, rural ones — treat friendliness as a necessary attribute, rather like a pleasant climate and good schools. People in general, I've noticed, seem to feel the same about a sense of humor — we're all convinced we possess a keen one.
I've always thought it a questionable claim, though, to brand any city as especially welcoming. The implication, it seems to me, is that the people in other cities are more apt to scream obscenities at you than to smile and give you directions to the cafe that grills the tastiest pancakes.
A city's personality, as it were, is the result of its residents; and even the happiest place has its sullen recluses.
Still and all, it pleases me greatly whenever I experience firsthand in Baker City some act of goodwill.
It was Saturday afternoon and my wife, Lisa, and I were walking along the Adler Parkway north of Elkhorn Village. I was pushing our daughter, Olivia, in her stroller (actually I was pushing the stroller, and Olivia was sitting in it.)
We were going south on the Parkway, just next to Elkhorn Village, when raindrops the size of half-dollars started to pelt us. This was one of those sneaky showers that ambush a person — the sky above was mainly blue, but a dark-grey cloud hovered a few miles to the south, which made it seem as though the rain was actually being aimed at us from afar.
The stroller has a hood but it's pretty skimpy. Olivia, who turned two on June 1, was protected from the waist up but her bare legs were getting soaked.
As we were walking on Walnut Street toward Campbell, a black Ford Focus passed us, going in the opposite direction (I think it was a Focus; I was squinting slightly against the rain). The shower rose to a crescendo right about then. I was wearing a baseball cap and the water began first to drip, then to flow from the tip of the bill.
Just then the black Ford (or whatever) rolled up beside us. The passenger side front window slid down and a woman leaned out into the rain. She was holding a pair of mini umbrellas in one hand.
I didn't know her.
But Lisa did.
After the car drove away she told me the woman is Lisa Wilson, and that she has a daughter who's a month younger than Olivia.
I don't doubt there are plenty of cities just as considerate as Baker City.
But I'll bet you'd have to visit a whole lot of them, and walk through quite a few rainstorms, before somebody drove up and handed you an umbrella right at the height of the storm.
The shower was brief. By the time we crossed the Powder the clouds had drifted out of range, and the wet pavement steamed in the bright sunshine.
We tried then to take the umbrella from Olivia. But she clutched its plastic handle with all the strength her little arms could muster.
She sure liked that umbrella.
Someday I'll tell her about the day when the nice woman gave it to her.
Probably I should start a journal and write down that story so I don't forget it.

The city last year passed an ordinance to ban any type of solicitation within a 12-block zone downtown, but a federal judge blocked enforcement of the zone while a lawsuit challenging it proceeds. Opponents of the ban say it's overly broad and would even block Salvation Army bell ringers from the zone.
City officials said Wednesday that the judge's order only applied to the part of the ordinance that created the downtown no-solicitation zone. Another part of the ordinance that says people who are soliciting must stay at least 20 feet from building entryways still stands.

This should be cool; looking forward to updates!
I got a rather random map idea, and couldn't stop thinking about it, so I began working on it today. It will depict the North American continent as it looked some 90 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period. I found (well, followed a link on Wikipedia) this amazing site with maps tracking Earth through 600 million years:
Global Paleogeography
I have no idea how accurate they are, or if some kind of accuracy even is possible for these huge spans of time or if they are just speculative, but I decided to trust dr. Ron Blakey and his impressive 20 years of research, and use his reconstruction of the Cretaceous continents as my starting point. I ran it through G.Projector to get an Azimuthal Equidistant version, and since I'll be painting this map by hand I drew what I saw on screen:
That's in A4 size, the finished will be twice as big. I just wanted to get a reference that doesn't require my computer to be on while I paint.
Then I began with the paper effect. Just slapped watercolor randomly on some heavy A3 paper, but I'm quite happy with it.
Feel free to use it if you like it. I have a bigger sized scan, about 10000x7000 pixels, if someone wants it.
Next I'll copy the longitudes and latitudes and landmasses from the sketch, and then comes the fun part
This should be cool; looking forward to updates!
Yesterday I drew the graticules and landmasses onto the parchment-y paper, and today I began painting the coast lines. I decided that inking them would look to stark, so I went to the watercolors right away and mixed a nice dark grey-brown from Lamp Black, Burnt Umber and Yellow Ochre. The coasts of the western of the three main parts is pretty much done:
Holy crap, somehow I didn't get before that you're PAINTING this. Wow! Props, man.
Haha, thanks! I wish I could do digital painting like most of you guys, but I'm to impatient to learn advanced programs, so I'm stuck with my brushes and paints
I wasn't satisfied with the color transition between coast and open sea, it looked to gray to me, so I worked some more on that with pure Burnt Umber. Then I painted the other landmasses' coasts the same way.
If you notice that the colors change slightly, it's because my scanner doesn't quite capture the real colors so I have to tweak them afterwards (pretty much all image editing I can do!). I think the previous WIP, the one with only the western island/mini-continent outlined, is closest to the real colors.
Drew in mountains, rivers and forests:
Trying to decide wether to draw some dinosaurs there as well before I color the new elements. Kinda like the sea monsters on old maps, but the actual animals of this time period. I'd like something more than just the landscape, to make the map more interesting, but I'm worried that putting T-Rexes in the forests would look like something you'd find in a children's book rather than an old-style map. What do you think?
Also, if anyone wants mountains, here are some practice mountains I drew before placing them on the map. I have no idea how you guys use elements like this, but if you need a higher resolution or a different file type I can fix that.
I got a commission job so here is the last update on this map before a break. Colored the forests and rivers, and shaded the mountains.
I've also made up my mind about monster icons, I think a single pterosaur flying over the southeast part of the ocean will make the setting clear without being too much.
great idea and really cool seeing a hand-drawn map

For Females, too!
I ordered this belt for the extra thickness and buoyancy after speaking with a very in-tune rep. I am a 5"2" female, in my 60"s, size 18 with a way-too-large middle and I don't swim AT ALL. This model belt is not too long, thick or high; it fits very well with the elastic strap and feels comfortable and secure. I can see how just about any shape and size can wear this model belt. I'm am starting at zero physically after a very long medical issue, and with this belt I have been able to expand my rehab program quite a bit. After exploring a ton of belts and after using some thinner belts at the pool I settled on this one and I am thrilled with everything about it. To me Aquajogger products are the best and swimoutlet is an awesome company for outstanding prices and service.

I have severe spinal stenosis and degenerative discs. I can only exercise in a pool. I had been swimming laps 5-6 times a week and felt like my body was getting to used to that routine. I had researched the Aquajogger and purchased it ~ 4 weeks ago. I absolutley love it! I am now deep water running with it 3xweek and right from the start could feel my muscles working differently. I have the Pro series unit and it is great in helping me keep my spine straight and tightening my abs while i"m running. I also purchased the Aqua runners and will start using them next week for additional resistance.

Better for my larger clients
The males and my larger women clients will choose this belt because of it's length. Would like to have this belt a bit wider. My larger, more water fearful clients, will choose this belt last thinking it's to narrow, though it's not.This product works great.

Nice size
The size works well for my husband. We both wish the belt was a nylon strap instead of the elastic. He thinks the nylon strap on the belts offered by the gym were more comfortable, but there was never enough equipment for everyone so we bought our own equipment.
Sacramento, CA
works wonders!!
This belt is awesome! My husband couldn't go to deep water to exercisebecause his shoulders bother him. With the belt he can "swim" out todeep water and do all the excercising he wants to! We had tried to use the normal weight belts at the YMCA , but they weren't made to hold 260 lb. men, so Idecided to try this one and he loves it.

AquaJogger Pro Belt
I could stand a little more floatation. I turned it to the front.and it barely keeps my head up enough.I have recently had a knee replacement and am a little slow but am working on it. It fits well and I am Well pleased. Thanks for the followup. Don Smith

Men's Water exercise belt runs small but good quality
The size is supposed to fit up to a man's 44" waist. It almost is to small for my husband and his waist is less then 44". Good quality

as promised. great for sinkers
i lost a lot of weight and was sinking during water exercise. this keeps me floating properly. very good.

Works well.
The pool is only 5" @ the deepest, the belt helps to hold me up enough to do many of the aerobic exercises.The reason I purchased this particular belt is, my waiste is 44" and the rep. I spoke with told me this is the largest belt for someone my size. The plan is to get back down to 38". I can not do much out in the gym because of arthritis, in the pool I can do just about anything.

aqua jogger shape pro belt
Just started swimming about 4 yrs ago. Hurt shoulder so had to go to deep water jogging. Really not comfortable in water over my head, but with the aqua jogger, I am more comfortabe every time I use it. Try to jog 5 days a week. Once my shoulder is fixed I still plan to aqua jog 2 or 3 days a week. It gives me a really good workout. I am 68 yrs old

Operation Northwood is a Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars mission given to Huang Lee by Wade Heston.
After the cutscene, get a fast car; conveniently, someone will always park a Banshee outside the apartment. Drive the car to the Bomb Garage in North Holland and drive in to execute a touchscreen mini-game in which you arm the car with a bomb. Drive to the new GPS destination to wait for the dealer.
The dealer hops into a car of his own and starts driving recklessly around Algonquin. Chase after him but don't worry about trying to bash him. Don't get to close, as he will shoot you. If he gets off the top of your screen, take note of the tire marks he seems to leave behind everywhere he goes so that you can easily track his turns.
The dealer will eventually come to a stop at his warehouse in Northwood. Drive your bomb-equipped car to the waypoint marked between a couple of gas tanks and then exit the car. Put some distance between you and the explosives before setting off the bomb, completing the mission.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get a fast car so you can follow the dealer
- There's a garage nearby where you can get a bomb fitted. Take the car there
- Connect the bomb to the battery and starter motor
- Stake out Heston's dealer at the bar
- He's getting away. Don't lose him
- Park outside the dealer's hideout before IAD arrives
- Get a safe distance away
You earn $200 from this mission and unlock the mission Torpedo Run.
- The mission name comes from Operation Northwoods, a false-flag plan proposed by the CIA, and the Northwood neighborhood of Liberty City.
Mission Replay description
"Heston's dealer was going to sell him out to IAD.
I chased him down and removed him, and the evidence he had against Heston."

Gabelli Grads Feted in Ceremony
Contact: Patrick Verel
(212) 636-7790
William J. O'Hagan and Donna Rapaccioli

Gabelli School of Business (GSB) graduating seniors were both honored and challenged at a May 16 ceremony at the Rose Hill campus.
"You are leaders in your own lives, and leaders of others," said Donna Rapaccioli, Ph.D., dean of GSB and of the Fordham business faculty, at the ceremony at the McGinley Center.
She noted that just as the school had changed since 2009, when they entered what was then named the College of Business Administration, so too had they transformed.
"The more remarkable transformation, though, is yours. You are far from the wide-eyed, uncertain freshmen you were four years ago," she said.
"I don't believe transformation happens because of any single thing or event, but I do believe it requires one factor: Strong leadership."
Nearly 100 of the school's most distinguished seniors received medals for achievements in accounting, finance, management, entrepreneurship, and marketing. Students also were recognized for excellence in academic, community and humanitarian endeavors, and for their leadership skills.
Rapaccioli said the class of the 2013 is the first to receive a special soapstone ram that was carved by a Fair Trade artisan collective in Kenya. They are a symbol of their connection to Fordham, as well as a symbol of responsible leadership.
"I hope that after graduation, the ram reminds you of your responsibility to do business with purpose. As graduates of a Jesuit business school, this can be your leadership story. It takes guts and strong leadership to push back against the motive of sheer profit. It is not always easy to ask questions about the impact of actions on society," she said.

"But if you do, you will reshape the world. You will be the next leaders of companies like Starbucks, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Patagonia — companies that show, according to a recent Harvard Business Review column, that "Conscientious capitalism is not an oxymoron."
The college also honored William J. O'Hagan, GSB '82, with the 2013 Alumnus of the Year Award. O'Hagan, a tax partner with Price Waterhouse Cooper, told attendees that Fordham had given them a tremendous foundation they'll to use to make the world their own.
"You may not think it now, but something you learned here that you dismissed as totally useless is going to hit you when you're sitting in some conference room," he said.
"Somebody is going to mention something, and you'll say 'You know what? I actually remember something about that.' It does happen. It's happened to me all these years."
Students Timothy Lynch and John Ketcham addressed their fellow classmates, as Salutatorian and Valedictorian, respectively. The two hit upon the twin themes of the past and the future.
Lynch compared his classmates to trees who started as saplings at the Rose Hill campus.
"Immediately we buried our roots into Fordham. Over time, as we have grown in strengthened personally, they have become thick and grown deep," he said.
"Our roots now stretch deep across campus, like an intricate network, intertwining with and supporting each other."
Ketcham took to the podium with the flourish of a clergyman preaching to his flock, beseeching his classmates to think of graduation as a time to toss away their student identity, and confront the two choices they face as adults: Pursue self-centered goals or "live an astonishing adventure by placing your restless heart at rest in god's loving providence."
Don't play society's game of "you're worth what you have," he warned.
"We can find true happiness by forgetting ourselves, obtain true freedom by casting off the shackles of self-centeredness, defend ourselves against the caprices of a hostile world by building an interior castle whose walls are fortified enough to withstand rejection, loss and suffering. And we can passionately pursue the three things that we can never have enough of: beauty, goodness, and truth," he said.
The ceremony also featured the presenting of the inaugural Fordham Vets Service Award, which was given to Gabelli senior Daniel Hodd by Michael Gillan, Ph.D.,
University Veterans Affairs, and Peter Vaughan, Ph.D., dean of the Graduate School of Social Service

Thx for recompiling thenumbers waaka.
Infernity and my results over 2 days were nearly identical. That one guy mist have been extremely lucky - good for him if so. 17 5 stars in 22 pulls of 99 is really high as i think i had 11 5 stars in my first 19 pulls of 99 or something like that.
His 5 star rate was nearly double the average standing at like 0.7% and his 2 star rate was double the average at a whopping 20%!.
Anyway, The results are consistent over the weekend and are really good overall. I mean in the end you are paying 3 usd for each rare but that is tremendously better than the 5 star lotto! Lol
I'll try to get on tonight have been on call all day and been at work so have only logged on 1x.

Just before 1a.m. Wednesday morning Police received several calls about a suspicious car at the Grand Centennial Apartment Complex located at 1430 Meredith Heights.
Police tell 11 News two suspects were breaking into cars in the parking lot.
When officers got on scene they found a blue Honda backed into one of the covered spaces. The car was running and 20 year old Heather Allison was inside. Her male accomplice took off on foot and got away. Police arrested the female on several charges including motor vehicle theft.
Police tell 11 News they are seeing a rash of car break-ins across Colorado Springs.
One fourth of car break-ins happen when the owner did not lock the doors. Police recommend parking in a well-lit area and if you must leave valuables in your car, lock them in the trunk.
The Colorado Springs Police Department recently created a motor vehicle theft task force to help down on crime.

RALEIGH (AP) - Four North Carolina State University students are getting national media attention after announcing they are developing fingernail polish that changes colors when a date rape drug is present.
Their startup company says that, with the new product when a woman puts her fingertip in a drink, her nail polish will change colors in the presence of common date rape drugs like Rohypnol.
National newspapers in this country and Great Britain have covered their company, Undercover Colors.
While other similar innovations have made media splashes, few have reached the market.

SRAM X.7 Rear Derailleurs: Designed with a slimmer and lighter profile over previous X.7. Di.R.T (Direct Route Technology) for light-effort shifting performance. Compatible with ESP (1:1 ratio) trigger and twist shifters. Aluminum outer / Steel inner links and cages, Grilon composite P-knuckle, steel tension spring, and an alloy B-knuckle with alloy bolt. Hardened pivots, ported 11-tooth pulleys, and a matte alloy finish.
I've been through a lot of different Shimano and Sram derailleurs and this is comparable to higher-end stuff as far a durability. Not the lightest nor most crisp in shifting but for the price would be a great component on mid-range mountain and commuter bikes and an excellent upgrade for low-end bikes.
I have multiple lower end bikes that I have inexperienced teens ride, we have broken a dozen of these and the x5's. They are probably fine if babied, but don't hold up to much abuse. I would prefer low end Shimano over low end Sram. Great marketing, poor performance in my oppinion.
Bought one of these as a replacement on my DH bike last summer and it's still going strong to this day. If you can't justify spending over $100+ on a Deraillure then this little guy will do the trick! Easy to adjust, easy to instal, works and shifts just fine!
Great Value and works great when converting SS to 9-speed. Paired with the X-9 shifter and shifting is crisp. No problems after 1 year.
I've been very happy with this derailleur. It's rock solid. Shifts great. I've had no super expensive derailleur envy.
Easy install and never had a problem changing gear.
I wanted an inexpensive and reliable derailleur for my winter 1x9 conversion. This derailleur worked flawlessly though tough conditions.
Seems to shift as good as X9 for less money to me! I've owned a few X9s and they seem to wear fast losing shift performance, this X7 has lasted at least equal if not longer for less money!
This derailleur works fine, until you have the slightest impact on it, then the cage will bend, and it will never shift right again. If you plan on ever falling off your bike, I would go with the x.9 or higher.
I love sram but this derailleur was crap. It worked just fine until the spring in the cage gave out and it provided no chain tension.
Bought this to replace my stock shimano derailleur and the difference is huge! Clean and smooth shifts all throughout the range. A breeze to setup and adjust. For the price you can not beat this derailleur!
This is the first SRAM drivetrain product I've owned. My others have been predominantly Shimano, chain and all. Since I was building a bike from the frame up over the '12 winter, I decided to give the competition a go. I purchased the short cage model presumably to improve shifting, and to avoid collisions w/ low-slung trail matter. I previously had incidents in both areas with Shimano. The incorporated (and now-defunct) Rollymajig design in the cable routing and the 1:1 ratio improves the precision with which the X7 shifts through the gears. I never understood the 2-clicks-per-shift of the Shimano--it's inefficient, and possibly caused the majority of all those mishifts! I haven't had a single fouled shift since dialing in the X7. Its reliable performance on the trail outweighs that of the competition, and the price is well worth it. Hint: wait for the deep winter sales to pick one up! The only bothersome thing I noticed was that the cage doesn't offset/open nearly as much as the Shimano LX does on my F/S, to allow for ease of wheel removal. Maybe it's the short cage, I can't say one way or the other unless I purchase a long cage and experiment. Maybe I will, and put the short café on the F/S. Anyhow, it's spot on!
Came today, took 5 minutes to setup and is smooth as butter. This is the best price online!
I purchased this derailleur to replace the broken X4 that came stock on my bike. It installed quickly, was easy to dial in, and works great. It provides smooth, fast shifts and is a huge improvement over the old X4. Good Deal!

During World War II, Pierre Brochard took on drawing caricatures. After the War, he joined Fleurus publishers. There, he drew for the magazines Fripounet et Marissette and Âmes Vaillantes and created his first comic series, 'Zéphyr' (1952-1963), 'Le Chevalier de Saint-Clair' and 'Théo Besagne' (text by Jean-Marie Pélaprat). At the same time, Brochard drew for other magazines, such as Coeurs Vaillants (from 1956 to 1970) and J2 Jeunes, where he created the 'Alex et Eurêka' series (again with Pélaprat).
Brochard continued his collaboration with Pélaprat with the series 'Perrac la Rapière', that was published in the magazines Formule 1 and Triolo from 1970. In 1982 he illustrated 'Sherlock Holmes' in Triolo, a story written by Didier Convard. During this period, he still drew for Fleurus, with several transitory stories of 'Fricot' and 'Éric et Lespadon', some independant stories and educational albums along with his son Philippe Brochard. Pierre Brochard has also cooperated on the magazines Francs-Jeux (from 1964 to 1973) and Tintin (the series 'Les Gens de Lameraven' from 1976).

ATLANTA (AP) -- U.S. health officials say there's been an alarming increase in the number of West Nile cases.
So far there have been more than 1,100 cases reported through the middle of August. That's three times as many as usually seen at this point in the year. About half the cases are in Texas. Most West Nile infections are reported in August and September.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the new numbers Wednesday. They say the mild winter, early spring and very hot summer have fostered breeding of the mosquitoes. Mosquitoes pick up the virus from birds and then spread it to people.
West Nile virus was first reported in the United States in 1999.

WASHINGTON – Thirty years ago, a glass ceiling was broken high above the Earth as Sally Ride became the first American woman to fly into space.
On June 18, 1983, with a thunderous roar, the Space Shuttle Challenger sprinted off its Florida launchpad carrying Ride along with four male astronauts on a six-day space flight to deploy a communications satellite and conduct mid-deck experiments.
Although the flight carved a path into history, Ride preferred that her accomplishments not be defined by her gender.
"She often said that she didn't want to be the woman astronaut, she wanted to be an astronaut," says Bill Barry, chief historian for NASA.
As a child, Ride craved studying science and math and later earned a doctorate in physics from Stanford University, which helped earn her a place among NASA's 1978 astronaut class — the first to include women.
Barry says she had the attributes NASA wanted for America's first woman in space.
"She was a very smart young lady and attractive and well spoken," he says.
In 2009, during Astronomy Night at the White House, Ride recalled the view of Earth during her first spaceflight.
"It took my breath away the first time that I looked back at Earth," Ride said. "The thing that made the biggest impression to me was how fragile our Earth looks," she said.
Ride would go on to a second spaceflight in 1984 and had been scheduled for a third trip but the mission was scrapped following the January 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.
Ride would go on to serve on the Presidential Commission on the Space Shuttle Challenger Accident and laterthe Columbia Accident Investigation Board in 2003.
She inspired legions of children to study science and math and established the educational company Sally Ride Science.
Ride died in 2012 at age 61 following a battle with pancreatic cancer.

text: The key to brewing a great cup of coffee is a consistently uniform grind achieved with minimal heat. Technivorm's ingenious machine represents a breakthrough in blade-grinding technology. Its upside-down configuration grinds the beans to the perfect size and allows the ground coffee to drop immediately into a collection container below, away from the heat of the blades. The result is rich, full flavor with no burnt aftertaste. This grinding system has earned the European Coffee Brewing Center (ECBC) Seal of Approval, awarded only to products that pass the extensive quality control and laboratory testing of the Norwegian Coffee Association.

most of these women are older than me. i am considered old as well. a senior. the photos are great. i keep the same style i wore all my life but the dresses are longer. these women are fabulous, & it does help me from my fear of dressing "too young". this is a good reference. i would like to see someone wearing jeans. after all nan kempner did. in her 70s! also women on budgets, how do you dress well & not spend much, still look chic. always a challenge.

Great pictures of very stylish old women. I love it when someone isn't shy about mentioning there ago. They say there age in the positive and not in the negative.

Episode Plot
Ash and co. continue their journey to Icirrus City, but to get there they have to cross over one humongous obstacle: Twist Mountain. There they meet a Pokémon Archaeologist named Ferris and his friend from childhood Sierria. Apparently Ferris has dug up a Cover Fossil, which is that of the Prototurtle Pokémon Tirtouga that lived long ago but now its extinct. But is Ferris the only party interested in the fossil? No, but not for long until Team Rocket came around to steal the fossil out of sight to revive Tirtouga here into the present so they would use its life energy to stabilize the space-time warp below Twist Mountain called the "Time Gate". And they would capture all of the Ancient Pokemons from the past!
- In the flashbacks, it is revealed that Team Rocket's Fossil Restoration Machine is used with the power of chargestones from Chargestone Cave and using the same system data they steal from Professor Juniper and Dr. Fennel that revive the Archen from the Plume Fossil
- Who's that Pokémon? Tirtouga (US).
