Dec. 30, 1929 – June 13, 2013
Peter John Murto, of Clarence, a retired Union Carbide manager who served terms on two different suburban school boards, died Thursday in Roswell Park Cancer Institute after a short illness. He was 83.
Born in Lockport, he was a graduate of Lockport High School and earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in 1951 from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he was a member of Army ROTC.
He joined Union Carbide's Linde Division upon graduating, but soon was called to active duty and served for 13 months in the Korean War as a first lieutenant.
Returning from service, he did graduate studies at RPI for a year, then rejoined Union Carbide.
Taking up residence on Grand Island, he helped found the community's first Little League Baseball program, served as an area chairman for the United Way and was elected to the Grand Island Board of Education.
Transfers by Union Carbide took Mr. Murto to Southern California and Indianapolis before he was assigned back to the Linde plant in the Town of Tonawanda in the mid-1960s as a product manager.
Moving to Clarence, he was appointed and then elected to the Clarence School Board, served on the Clarence Recycling Committee and was active with Clarence Presbyterian Church, serving as elder, trustee and finance committee member.
Retiring from Union Carbide in the mid-1980s, he became active in the Clarence Senior Center, serving as chairman of the board of directors. He also became president of the Clarence Lions Club, which presented him with its Melvin Jones Fellow Award in 2001.
He enjoyed fishing, travel and spending summers at Canandaigua Lake, where he had a vacation home.
Survivors include his wife of 61 years, the former Nancy Schaefer; two daughters, Sally M. McCloe and Jennifer M. Klein; and a son, Peter C.
Services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday in Clarence Presbyterian Church, 9675 Main St., Clarence.

I've been a huge fan of Levenger paper and pads for several years. After looking for a way to keep my notepad pages together in one place, I was thrilled when they came out with a spiral-bound notebook that has the same design as their classic notepads.The paper quality is excellent and I find the unique page markings a great way to keep my thoughts, notes and important ideas organized and easy to find. I put a big red arrow or dot next to important ideas and the topic and date fields at the top make finding notes chronologically a cinch.Bottom line: I feel naked in meetings without my Levenger Notebook!I'm about as picky as it comes when it comes to my notebooks so if you can please me, you can please anyone. The only minor setback (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 on "Function") is that backside pages early in the notebook can be a little difficult to write on as you get to the right side and run into the spiral binding. I usually only right on the front side for that reason. (Kind of how you "Lefties" feel all the time!)When Levenger comes out with a sewn binding with the same page design that lays flat no matter what page you are on, that one will be my dream notebook. Until then, this one is my favorite.

Paper is not nearly as thick as I expected. I use a fairly thin tip gel based pen and it definitely goes through the paper. It doesn't go through the paper so badly that you can't use both sides, but it does not handle the ink as well as the Levenger Annotation pads, and I definitely wouldn't use a fountain pen on it!One of the reasons I got this notebook was because I used the annotation pads exclusively for all of my schoolwork, but I wanted the pages to be pre-bound. it serves that function OK, but the paper doesn't have the nice feel that the annotation pads have, so it kind of defeats the purpose of getting this notebook over any other spiral bound notebook (except that this allows for cornell style notes, which i use).In general: paper was thinner than expected and ink bleeds through it. The paper also doesn't have the high-quality feel that I have come to expect from Levenger.

I bought this as a substitute for the plain white wired Cornell note ruled "Wired" note book that disappointingly has been discontinued.The paper is different, colored obviously, similar thickness, but with a rough feel - almost like a recycled stock. I am not sure the purpose of the colors, my preference is white - although the gray being neutral is usable.I have used the white "wired" for years as my daily desk journal - Please bring that product back.

One of the best wired notebook you can have
By SomeWhoWriteALot
from New York, NY
Some of my colleagues use Levenger products and I thought of trying as well. I am still a newbie but the way I have started liking Levenger products, I don't think I will go back to any other brand. About this notebook, this is one of the best quality wired notebook you can ever get in the market. Paper is very smooth and thick. It's completely worth the money you will pay for the notebook. Highly recommended.

Great for Cornell Notes!
By hannah95
from Texas
I love these journals for taking Cornell notes. However, the multicolor paper can be tough to use if you have felt tip pens. The annotation pads seemed to be able to handle the ink, but on these journals... the ink seems to go through. Besides that though, they are amazing. The colors are separated nicely, and they keep everything organized.

This notebbok was recommended to me by a colleague and am glad I ordered some! While I like the product overall, I would like to have a stiff back cover for aded support for those thimes I am not using the notebook on a hard surface.

By financialconsultant

I have been a user of Levenger products since the 1990's. This product is one of the best products that they have created. The spiral noteback keeps my notes together. I bought several just in case Levenger decides discontinue this product.
Long-time favorite notebooks
By TeachandWrite
from Concord, MA
I've been a long time user of Levenger's pads and notebooks. My all-time favorite is the spiral bound, annotation ruled notebook. I use them for journaling, reading notes, class preparation, and the wide left margin helps me write reminders or use the Cornell notetaking system.I've used this particular style of notebook for years, but the recent batch seems to be less durable. The wire spirals started to come out of the pages, after only a short time (a few weeks) of using the notebook. I have older versions of the same notebooks, still in use, and they are as sturdy as ever. The paper is excellent, and the format is perfect for me, so I hope/expect the last few I've bought are just an odd lot.
great notepad, poor backing
By WhyMustIHaveANickname
from Castro Valley, California
I was pleased overall. My only complaint is that the notepad does not have a stiff backing. I do a lot of writing in note pads. It may be the way I use them (balanced against the steering wheel, on my lap, or simply held in the hands) but I would prefer a substantial cardboard backsheet for a firmer writing surface. As it is, I need to carry another pad or clipboard to use as backing.
What happened to the older wired notebooks?
By Summagal
from Baton Rouge, LA
I ordered 4 of these, and they all fell apart. I called customer service and we worked everything out. I am satisfied with the resolution. The notebooks are now perforated. I used to buy these without the perforation, and the quality was so much better with the spiral binding. For some reason, the spirals on these newer notebooks aren't completely closed so covers and pages come apart. The paper is still great quality but don't expect to carry this around much. Works fine as a jotter on my home desk. Please bring back the non-perforated notebooks from a few years ago!

Boeing is one of the largest companies in the
aviation world. Not only does the company have a vast military portfolio, but
it also has an enormous presence in the civilian aviation market with some of
the most popular passenger aircraft in the world. Boeing has celebrated the official
premiere of the latest civilian aircraft called the 747-8 Intercontinental.
The aircraft is the passenger version of a cargo
aircraft that Boeing has been working on for the past few years – the cargo
plane and its passenger version are both behind schedule. The first
flight for the 747-800 was conducted in February of 2010, almost exactly a year
Boeing unveiled the new 747-8
Intercontinental officially at an event with about 10,000 guests
including current and potential customers. Boeing is aiming the plane at the
400-500 seat market and claims that the new aircraft has unrivaled efficiency
and performance.
Boeing's CEO Jim Albaugh said, "The new 747-8
Intercontinental features the latest in innovative technologies — applying many
of the breakthroughs also found on the 787 Dreamliner. We think our customers
will value the low operating costs and passengers will enjoy the comfort of the
striking new interior."
So far the 747-8 has 33
orders on the books with 20 of the planes ordered for Lufthansa alone;
Korean Air Lines is on the hook for five of the aircraft reports Bloomberg.
Each of the aircraft sells for $317.5 million and will carry about 467
passengers in a three-class configuration.
Boeing thinks that the new 747-8 Intercontinental
is sized well to put pressure on the larger Airbus
A380 that seats about 525 passengers. Boeing's Elizabeth Lund said,
"With an A380, you run the risk of not filling every seat whenever you
fly. It's, we think, really the right size most of the time in most
Boeing notes that the 747-8 provides operators
with 12% lower costs to operate than its predecessor the 747-400. The 747-8
gets 16% better fuel economy, has 16% less carbon emissions per passenger, and
has a 30% smaller noise footprint. The aircraft also uses some interior
features from the 787 Dreamliner with curved and upswept interior architecture
that gives passengers the feeling of more space and adds more room for personal
USA Today notes
that the aircraft was lengthened
by 18.3-feet, making the 747-8 the longest jetliner in the world. The
hump that is familiar on Boeing's 747 has been lengthened a well to cover
double deck seating inside and is 13.3-feet longer than before.
The overall wingspan of the massive airliner is
224-feet and it is propelled by GEnx-2B67 engines built by GE. These engines
use about 30% fewer parts than other jet engines to reduce maintenance and the
chance of failure. The cruise speed for the 747-8 is Mach 0.86 or about 570
"As the only airplane in the 400 to 500-seat
market, the 747-8 Intercontinental will give operators an airplane perfectly
suited for long, heavily traveled routes around the world," said Pat
Shanahan, vice president and general manager, Airplane Programs, Boeing
Commercial Airplanes. "The new 747-8 Intercontinental will set a new
standard in economic and environmental performance, while providing a
world-class passenger experience."
quote: I've always loved the 747,
quote: Civilian aircraft do not have radar.
quote: The 747-8 is more than 10 percent lighter per seat than the A380 and will consume 11 percent less fuel per passenger than the 555-seat airplane. That translates into a trip-cost reduction of 21 percent and a seat-mile cost reduction of more than 6 percent, compared to the A380.
quote: The 747-8 is 16 percent more fuel efficient and creates a 30 percent smaller noise footprint than its predecessor. The 747-8 also provides nearly equivalent trip costs and 13 percent lower seat-mile costs than the 747-400, plus 26 percent greater cargo volume.
quote: You fit your aircraft to your routes, thinking otherwise is just silly.
quote: In summary... the 747-8 has equivalent trip mile costs to the 747-400... So the A380 has 21% worse trip costs than the 747-400?
quote: Do Boeing think everyone that reads this stuff is a f**king idiot? I know the A380 has over 25% better seat-mile costs than the -400.
quote: Do you expect an airline is gonna stick an A380 on a daily route with demand for only 50 people? You fit your aircraft to your routes, thinking otherwise is just silly. A full A380 generates far greater returns than a full 747-8.
quote: I know the A380 has over 25% better seat-mile costs than the -400. The golden number in the industry is 20% better than the old competitor, otherwise you don't build a new airframe. Boeing are insulting the intelligence of the public with press releases like that.

The poly blend gives this rope more strength and longer wear than a straight grass rope. 3-strand. Soft lay. Read more...
This 3-Strand Treated Poly Calf Rope from King Ropes has been stretched, sunned, tied straight and in shape ready for use. 3-strand design for taller crowns for better tip identification and to prevent running on the horn. Very durable, strong rope provides less stretch and long lasting use. The S (soft) lay of this rope is most popular among experienced ropers. The stiffness provides a rope that can be swung and thrown harder. 28' long in a selection of diameters.
Overall Rating: 5 StarsAverage Based on 3 Reviews Write a Review
Love this rope! It feeds smoothly, and lasts run after run. Weather doesn't affect it, would definately recommend to ropers of all ages.
Only calf rope I will use. It feeds very smoothly. It is lightweight yet firm enough to not bother in wind and rain. Many buckels won with this rope. Highly recommended
I prefer the finest grass version but this is a good alternative.

Valentine's Day is a natural time to nurture your child's kind heart and giving nature. Even toddlers are intrinsically motivated to be kind, recent studies in child development suggest, so do your best to encourage those tendencies.
This time of year, nothing spells love like homemade hearts snipped out of folded paper. With your kids, make cards and paper chains to share with residents of a nursing home or children in a hospital's pediatric unit. Recycle red, white and pink wrapping paper and leftover envelopes, and use cookie cutters for tracing.
Let your child see you caring about others, even with something as simple as a card for an ill neighbor or a meal for a new mommy. Modeling kindness, whether as a parent, caregiver or teacher, makes the behavior contagious, says sociologist Christine Carter, author of "Raising Happiness" (Ballantine, 2011). When we see someone else act in a kind way, we're more likely to feel an impulse to help out, too.
What most inspires a child to grow up caring about others? The caring that the child receives, says the American Psychological Association. When children feel they have a secure home base, they're more likely to venture out and pay attention to others. When they feel deprived of love and nurturing, they tend to focus too much on themselves and their own needs, the association says.
When looking for opportunities to show kindness, popular children's books can serve as inspiration. For example, teachers and parents often read Audrey Penn's "The Kissing Hand" (Tanglewood Press, 2007) to comfort new preschoolers or kindergartners. In the story, a little raccoon is afraid to start school, so his mother gives him a kiss in his palm. If he feels scared or lonely, he can put his hand to his cheek and feel his mother's love.
Inspired by the book, creators of the Kissing Hand Mitten Project are collecting handmade mittens with hearts sewn or knitted into the palm. The special mittens will be given to children in elementary schools in Newtown, Conn., during a reading of "The Kissing Hand" by the author. Each elementary school student in Newtown will also receive a copy of the book, donated by the publisher.
The goal for the project is to collect about 2,000 pairs of mittens by the end of February. Knitters from all across the country have been donating mittens. If you knit or sew, let your little ones help by picking yarn or fabric colors and writing notes. "Kissing hand" mittens can be sent to: The Kissing Hand Mitten Project, 93 E. High St., East Hampton, CT 06424. Check the project's Facebook site for updates about what's needed: facebook.com/TheKissingHandMittenProject.
Children's books abound with teachable moments, reminding us that a simple hug or a big heart drawn in the snow are gifts. It's the little things that add up to a secure home base for kids. Check out these ideas.
• Is your child a fan of Clifford the Big Red Dog? His 50th anniversary is on Valentine's Day. Books and DVDs about the dog with the huge heart have plenty of life lessons in how to be kind.
• In "Duck and Goose: Goose Needs a Hug" (Schwartz and Wade, 2012) by Tad Hills, what does Goose need more than anything this Valentine's Day? A hug from a good friend.
• In "Snowy Valentine" (HarperCollins, 2011) by David Petersen, Jasper the bunny is anxiously looking for a special gift for his wife. In the process, he creates a giant heart shape in the snow that turns out to be a beautiful gift.

Patchouli is a foul smelling stench with strong overtones of mold and mildew. It has become popular with young, and sometimes successful, bohemian types. They often wear it to mask their success and to feel more grounded, as they smoke their American spirits and drink PBR. These days there's nothing cooler than smelling like you live in your parents moldy basement.
Why does it smell like a moldy dead guy in here?
Oh, that's just Nikky, she's wearing patchouli again.

WAILUKU - Mayor Alan Arakawa signed the Maui Island Plan on Friday, a week after the Maui County Council passed the guide for island planning by a 5-4 vote.
"We now have the framework which will allow us to move forward, striving as always to balance the many current and future needs of Maui and our people," Arakawa said, following the signing. "To all of those involved in the process, whether they saw eye to eye on every detail of the plan or not, your efforts are much appreciated."
Now, Community Plan Advisory Committees for the county's community plan regions will draft plans for their areas and, depending on the area, those will be reviewed by the Maui, Molokai or Lanai planning commissions.
After years of review, the Maui Island Plan was criticized in its final phases as being too pro-development by allowing too much land to be included in urban-growth boundaries. Critics also were concerned about provisions allowing the Olowalu Town development, which calls for building 1,500 homes on 600 acres both mauka and makai of Honoapiilani Highway. Project supporters were in favor of its affordable housing while opponents were concerned about the development's impact on the reef and other marine life offshore of Olowalu.
Council members voting in favor of the Maui Island Plan were Gladys Baisa, Bob Carroll, Don Couch, Joe Pontanilla and Mike White. Council Members Elle Cochran, Riki Hokama, Mike Victorino and Danny Mateo voted no.

A couple weeks ago while at Camporee a group of Scout leaders and I had a discussion regarding discipline in their units. I had mentioned that our three goals for Camporee this year were to 1. Have Fun, 2. Drink lots of water, and 3. Be Disciplined.
What's in a name?
One thought on "What's in a name?"
Good topic! We have a blend in our troop. The boys are expected to respect the wishes of the adult regarding names. That being said, and I'm a "Mr.", I respond to them as "yes, sir", "no, sir", pleases and thank you's. "A Scout is courteous goes a long way here."I do make a big deal about an 18th birthday though. They may use my first name then officially, and they may decide to have the Scouts call them "Mr.". Kind of amusing, and everyone gets the lesson in respect.

, updated July 7, 2013 at 8:33 PM
After Siena College pollsters sifted through their latest survey measuring the primary contest for mayor of Buffalo, they acknowledge that some of the results leave them baffled.
Incumbent Byron W. Brown's performance registers abysmally in key categories like education and job creation, noted Steven A. Greenberg of the Siena Research Institute.
But Brown emerges as the overwhelming favorite in his Democratic primary contest against Bernard Tolbert.
Greenberg calls the discrepancy "stunning."
"Voters can be a little schizophrenic," the political observer said, "but this is as big a disconnect as I have ever seen."
In a poll conducted June 23-27 for The Buffalo News and WGRZ-TV, Siena pollsters found that only 11 percent of Buffalo Democrats considered city public schools to be excellent or good, while 80 percent see them as fair or poor. The poll scientifically selected 696 registered Democrats likely to vote in the primary.
And only 15 percent of city Democrats said local government had excellent or good ability to obtain suitable employment for residents.
Despite those negatives, 66 percent of Democratic voters have a favorable impression of Brown.
"Voters like the mayor; they are inclined to re-elect him," Greenberg said. "But in jobs, schools and infrastructure, the voters don't think things are very good."
Those surveyed in the Siena poll point to education and lack of jobs as their top issues.
They say improving schools is a major need if the city is to regain lost population.
The "school situation has to get straightened out," said Robert Love, a retired Ford Motor Co. employee. "If our young people are not properly educated, they will be left behind. Education is paramount."
And while the Board of Education and superintendent exercise more influence over the system than does the mayor, Love said he believes Brown bears some responsibly.
"I believe it's in his hands," he said.
Barbara Howard, who worked in government affairs for Roswell Park Cancer Institute before retiring, sees education and job creation as closely linked.
"How our children go, so goes Buffalo," she said. "It's a core need.
"And I think a lot of kids who do make it through the school system see nothing here," she added. "One thing follows another."
Still, Greenberg said the appearance of construction cranes near the Buffalo waterfront and the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus fuels an optimistic perception and could explain why many voters harbor a generally positive outlook about the city and its mayor – despite the problems.
"Absolutely, that plays into it," Greenberg said. "They haven't seen jobs yet, but perhaps they feel that at long last they're seeing some development going on here in Buffalo and Western New York."
And while those surveyed assigned high marks to the condition of city parks and recreational facilities, they were not so keen on streets and sidewalks.
Deputy Mayor Steven M. Casey, the mayor's political point man, acknowledged much work needs to be done in Buffalo.
While some criticism is merited, he said, projects like returning traffic to Main Street mark major progress, as does continuing demolition of vacant housing. Further, he believes most voters do not hold the mayor responsible for city services over which he has little control – like the schools.
Casey said he believes when voters are asked more specific questions about education, they understand "the mayor is not wearing that."
Many voters understand the city's support of summer reading programs and recognize the effort, he said.
"But clearly, we are concerned," Casey said.
He added that if public perception about the city is positive, it's because development is leading to new jobs and opportunities.
"Can we get better? Sure," he said. "But all this is not pie in the sky. There are real jobs."
Tolbert said he questions many of the poll's results based on the responses he receives on the campaign trail.
"It's not what people tell me," he said.
He believes, however, that any dissatisfaction with issues like education stems not so much from the mayor's involvement, but with his failure to rally response to the problem.
"The office should serve as a bully pulpit to say eduction is something I should be concerned about, and I will work hard until we get it fixed," Tolbert said. "I would be a strong vocal advocate."
And Tolbert agrees with the concern of those polled over the inability of many city residents to find jobs, even when they view the city as moving in a positive direction.
"Right now, a lot of jobs are created by public money," he said. "I want to do a better job of getting private enterprise."
Tolbert is also expected to concentrate much of his primary attack on crime, which he says remains a major concern of those he meets in the neighborhoods.
But the survey shows a healthy satisfaction with police performance: 55 percent rate it good or excellent; 44 percent fair or poor.
Casey said that results from the city's emphasis on technology like surveillance cameras in neighborhoods, 225 new officers in the department and a push for visibility.
"I believe it may not stop crime, but it makes people feel better," he said.

really cares about you. That's why it fought so long and hard
to prevent
you from jailbreaking your iPhone and running unauthorized
apps, or unlocking your SIM card and jumping to another network.
In fact, it only tried to brick
your unlocked phone because it is so concerned about whether
you're having a quality experience. Or, at least
that's the line Apple's spokeswoman was trying to sell in the wake of
the legalization
of jailbreaking, based on revisions to the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act by researchers at the Library of Congress.Apple
released for following statement
to Cult
of Mac:
goal has always been to insure that our customers have a great
experience with their iPhone and we know that jailbreaking can
severely degrade the experience. As we've said before, the vast
majority of customers do not jailbreak their iPhones as this can
violate the warranty and can cause the iPhone to become unstable and
not work reliably.
spokeswoman confirms that while the government may say its legal,
jailbreaking violates your warranty -- but only because the company
cares so much about your experience. She commented that the
company hadn't yet filed any suits against makers of jailbreaking or
SIM unlocking software.While Apple obviously isn't happy with
the changes, underground iPhone developers like George
Hotz and the iPhone
Dev Team are rejoicing. The change means they will
have the opportunity to sell their jailbreaking/unlocking tools more
openly, rather than merely seeking donations. They can also
rest easy that they are unlikely to be prosecuted for their
efforts.The shift is also beneficial for Cydia.
Cydia, an underground app store specializing in safe unauthorized
apps (such as tethering apps), has been picking up steam of late.
It services the estimated millions of jailbroken iPhones in the wild.
quote: A better analogy would be that if you put aftermarket tires on your car or fuzzy dice inside and the engine breaks, that IS covered under warranty.
quote: Uh No: jailkbreaking your iphone does not cause "engine" or CPU wear...you can flash it back to legit IOS in a matter of minutes with zero detectable changes/side effects.
quote: Toyota cannot void my warranty for modifying my car/truck in such a way that it does not change/harm the mechanical function of the vehicle. Saying my engine warranty is voided because I wanted a custom paint job is rediculous.
quote: Installing a turbo/running an ignition advancer would be comparable to OVERCLOCKING the CPU on an iPhone...which even still would in reality only hurt battery longevity....the simple act of jailbreaking/unlocking DOES NOT overclock your iphone.
quote: A locked cellphone is a tool for a large corporation to monopolize and gouge a consumer base.
quote: Imagine buying a toyota and only being able to use toyota brand gas on a se 3yr contract term...that you have to pay for each month, regardless of whether you burn all the gas or not.
quote: I bought my first unlocked iphone 3gs last year and it has saved me massive amounts of money, and whenever I have a problem with my provider and threaten to switch at first they try to tell me about cancellation fees and that its against my contract to do this and that...then i simply mention my phone is unlocked... the guy starts saying sorry for this and that and all of a sudden i get transferred to the "cancellation department" and an amazingly cheap deal that i can't tell anyone about gets offered to me.
quote: sprockkets, please go back to the apple viral marketing dept and slurp on mr jobs' wang till your tummy feels better.... jailbreaking / unlocking helps the world by giving users and choice and as a side effect, saves everyone money.
quote: Eff you and the rest of the apple wankers even remotely for trying to stand behind apple on this one.

In Reply.—Dr Plaut describes a pattern of use that places him in accord with the majority of the other experts I interviewed.
The efficacy and safety of using nebulized sympathomimetic bronchodilators at home have been addressed recently. In an inner-city pediatric population Zimo et al1 found that emergency department visits and hospital admissions were significantly reduced after the institution of home nebulizers, especially for younger children. Their use was not associated with increased respiratory failure or other morbidity, despite probable divergence between the instructions and the actual use.
Although the use of inhaled bronchodilators obliges the physician to train parents and children in the techniques of their use and, as Dr Plaut correctly emphasizes, in monitoring the effectiveness of such treatment, the results seem to justify the effort. I am dismayed by the widespread neglect of elementary monitoring, even in children admitted to the hospital for acute, severe

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
On paper, biosimilars have great potential to cut development costs, expand patient access to biologics, and improve affordability. The practical reality is that these goals are difficult to achieve.
Technology isn't the biggest problem, say experts. Intellectual property challenges, added costs to characterize reference products, and uncertainty around what constitutes acceptable similarity are the stumbling blocks. That said, the biopharmaceutical industry is pushing forward aggressively to overcome the difficulties, and it's making substantive progress.
Quality by design (QbD) approaches can reduce biosimilar development risk. Single-use technologies can cut costs. Modern bioprocessing methods produce higher titers than when originator products first reached the market. The ability to characterize large complex biologics, such as monocolonal antibodies (mAb), has improved. And the recent draft guidance from the FDA is further clarifying the regulatory landscape.
"We are all happy to have guidance documents," says Joerg Windisch, Ph.D., head of global technical development for Sandoz Biopharmaceuticals, a player in biosimilar and innovator biologics. "They are very science-based and give FDA flexibility. We like many things about them."
For example, the draft guidance allows global development, sparing biosimilar developers the need to conduct two clinical studies, one against the European product and one against the U.S. reference product. "We were very worried about that," Dr. Windisch admits.
One way to help reduce development uncertainty is to use QbD concepts. "In this context, you design the manufacturing process for the biosimilar to produce a molecule that is very much the same as the original molecule," notes Dr. Windisch.
The first step, of course, is to define the target by characterizing the reference product. This is an expensive, time-consuming process that involves buying multiple batches of the reference product and profiling the critical quality attributes (CQAs) with an arsenal of modern analytical tools.
A nagging issue is the range of variability in CQAs common to originator products including changes in the variation range over time. The next step is designing a process to produce a biosimilar that will inevitably use a different cell line, more advanced technology, and more sensitive analytics.
Sandoz employs a systematic approach, using design-of-experiment (DOE) methodologies and hundreds of experiments to characterize products and processes. Various critical attributes—basic and acidic variance, structural variation, PK/PD activities, immunogenicity, functionality, etc.—are measured and used in building mathematical models to predict process performance and product quality.
Sandoz' work with rituximab is a good example, notes Dr. Windisch. Rituximab works largely by inducing ADCC (antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity), which in turn is controlled by two different glycosylations on rituximab. Sandoz developed a process model that accurately predicts how much of either glycosylation occurs in response to even small changes in the process.
"We have a mechanistic model in that we have an algorithm of how different process parameters (pH, temp, addition of sugar precursors, etc.) systematically influence both of these glycosylation parameters, and we can forecast if we run a process a certain way what levels of ADCC response we will get," he says.
Processing technologies have advanced such that "you really can't go back and recreate a cell line and expression system that would be the same as the innovator company," says Morrey Atkinson, Ph.D., CSO and vp of R&D and drug manufacturing for Cook Pharmica.
On the upside, modern processes have higher yields. One downside is that the biosimilar's purity profile can be quite different from the original's purity profile. "That presents additional challenges in terms of understanding the impacts on safety and efficacy during your fairly abbreviated preclinical and clinical development. When innovator compounds came to market, there was no specification or no standard that they had to compare to," says Dr. Atkinson.
"We know more now but we don't yet have the ability to dial in the characteristics we want. It's why the agencies talk about the totality of evidence when evaluating submissions."
The challenge, explains Dr. Atkinson, is to screen clones, cell lines, and cell culture conditions that would match the reference product's biological activity and then develop purification processes "where your acidic and basic variance and polymer levels, all of those things, are within some predefined criteria the innovator compound has established."
Regulators struggle with the same issue. "It seems to me that EMA is trying to be more formulaic and FDA is trying to be more case-by-case. That doesn't mean your outcome would be much different in either case. FDA is saying it wants to drive the discussion and be involved in design of the programs you develop. EMA is not doing that; it is saying these are our guidelines per class of molecule, meet these guidelines and then bring forward your application," says Dr. Atkinson.
A surprising point in FDA's guidance "is you don't need to match the closure or delivery system of the current marketed product. One would think you should be close if you thought that had any effect on PK/PD. It was interesting in the FAQs they specifically say you do not need to even match the dosage form of the market product. For product people, that raises eyebrows."

The foundation's oldest artifacts date back to the Civil War, said Curator of Collections Britta Granrud. Its largest collection is from WWII.
The foundation receives "quite a bit" of donations, however, "I never know what I'm going to get," Granrud said.
"Everything's unique and that's what the memorial's about ... each individual donation makes up the collective history of women in the military... And when you think about it like in World War II, 400,000 women served so there's just all these treasures out there," she added.
Among the donations from Pisch were documents that concerned her preference to serve in the Navy Nurse Corps and classifying Pisch as 1A, available for military service, as opposed to essential for civilian nursing service due to her position as a private duty nurse.
Granrud had never seen either of the documents before.
"It's an interesting piece of history that I never [have] come across," Granrud said when speaking of the classification document. "And nursing was such a vital need and so essential to the war effort and what's interesting is [that] this is dated 1944, so even later in the war they were still sending out letters like this."
Serving her country
In the early 1940s, Pisch, whose maiden name was Bennetti, graduated from Mercy Hospital School of Nursing in Altoona.
Once graduated, she applied for enrollment in the Red Cross nursing service and joined the Navy Nurse Corps, serving during World War II from April 1945 until March 1946.
She served at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Philadelphia in the orthopedic and amputation wards, receiving an honorable discharge at the end of the war, Roberts said.
Pisch, who was an extremely private person and held on to the privacy of the Navy and her patients, was very proud of her naval career.
Upon discharge she began working as a public health nurse in Philadelphia's inner city, her daughter said.
"She was extremely dedicated, really her whole life, to working with different health needs. ... Her job, it was always about service to the needs of whomever she was working with," Roberts said. "The lessons that I could learn from, she would share, but they were lessons about compassion. They were lessons about getting her hands dirty, if you will. They were lessons about really getting into the day-to-day life, social needs."
After working as a public health nurse, Pisch joined the Philadelphia Police Bureau women's division.
She and her first husband and Roberts' dad, Salvatore Maiorana, became at the time Philadelphia's only married police team, serving the juvenile delinquent division from 1951-54.
Roberts has a framed clipping from the Philadelphia Inquirer Magazine about it.
"But the point being it was a lead story at that time, and the fact that in the '50s, when your primary role as a woman was either a nurse, a teacher or a homemaker, my mother sort of pioneered her womanhood in that area of service," Roberts said.
She met Maiorana, a Naval policeman, at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Philadelphia. Maiorana, who Pisch cared for during his illness "hands-on" and "around the clock" until he was moved to a medical center, died of colon cancer in 1956 at age 46, Roberts said. Pisch was 34 at the time.
A return home
To care for her ailing mother and be closer to her family, Pisch, who was a geriatric nurse for a short time, moved back to Altoona in 1961. A few years before that she had married Charles J. Pisch.
Regina Pisch became a psychiatric nurse at Cresson State School and Hospital. She retired from there in 1983 at age 62.
"I not only looked up to her, but really lived out a lot of her lessons that I had learned," Roberts said.
"I am extremely proud of her life. Everything she did from getting up in the morning to going to bed at night was service. She took care of her mother. She took care of her husband. She took care of me, of course, in raising me and getting me into a successful pattern of living. I just respect, admire and loved her very much."
Roberts learned the memorial was accepting memorabilia and "decided what better place for these artifacts to be for posterity but in the archives of the women's military memorial," she said.
Roberts said she will receive a list of the items she donated from the foundation, and each item receives a documentation number. Those interested in seeing or studying the items need her permission. The memorial foundation can choose to put them on temporary display, however. The donors are notified if items are chosen for display, she said.
"But the importance of this is the gathering of as much information from women who served from any point in the military," Roberts said. "I found it to be a tribute to our history, our nation."
The memorial, a powerful place to visit, is "a historical lesson on how our country needed women, treated women and how women developed as a result of their service to our country," she said.

Phil had three homes: one close to family in Burbank, one near his roots in Nashville, and a summer beach house in Alabama, says his son, Jason Everly, 47. Phil was "the best harmony singer that's ever lived," Jason says, and part of a duo, with brother Don, that laid the foundation of rock music.
Jason says his dad loved sharing stories about touring with Buddy Holly and performing rock 'n' roll before the term had been coined. At the time, the brothers didn't see themselves as trail blazers, he says – they hoped their 1957 debut single, "Bye Bye Love," would simply make them enough money to buy a new guitar case.
A year later, Phil Everly wrote "When Will I Be Loved," about Jason's mom back when she and Phil were dating – arranging it in a sultry, crooning style imitative of Elvis. Jason says his father was impressed when others, including Linda Ronstadt, gave it a more uptempo treatment.
"They were two cool guys that set trends in the '50s, designing their own suits and trying everything," says Jason. "That generation – Chuck Berry, the Everly Brothers, Bo Diddley – you can't give these guys enough due, and unfortunately these guys don't get their due until their passing."
'A Full-Blown Dad'Phil Everly embraced the styles and family values that defined his generation, spending time with family (Phil had a son from each of his two previous marriages and two granddaughters, and was close with Don's children, too), recording music on cassettes, driving his '49 Cadillac convertible in local parades and falling asleep to classic westerns with John Wayne or Gene Autry, according to Phil's wife Patti Everly and his son.
Courtesy Everly Family
Everly barbecued lamb and burgers at family barbecues by the pool, offered food and wine to guests and had to be coaxed to strap on the guitar. "He told people: If your ego's under control, your life is under control," Patti Everly says.
Don Everly declined an interview request, but released a statement saying, "I loved my brother very much." Asked about the brothers' strained relationship, Patti Everly would only say, "You can have harmony on stage but not always harmony in life."
In recent years, Phil wrote and recorded songs even after the disease sometimes made it difficult to breathe, Patti says, including a collaboration with Duane Eddy in which Everly wondered what would happen to Patti after he dies. She says it was one of several songs he wrote about her.
"He wrote, 'You'll love again after I'm gone,' which I won't, but I appreciate him saying that," says Patti Everly, 57.
She became tearful recalling how Phil entered the hospital a few weeks ago as his condition "took over" and he struggled to breathe on his own. The family opened their Christmas presents in Phil's hospital room.
"I hope he's with the angels now, and he can breathe," she says.

2006 Silver Oak Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley (in magnum)
Producer: Silver Oak Cellars
Style: Red Wine
Grape Type: Cabernet Sauvignon
Origin: California
Region: Sonoma
Appellation: Alexander Valley
87 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - May/June 2010
($70) Bright, full red-ruby. Musky blackberry, tobacco, tar and chocolate on the nose, plus a note of dill. Plum, raspberry and tobacco flavors are intensified by sound acidity, with the musky quality carrying through in the mid-palate. Doesn't have quite enough stuffing to support its fairly serious tannins, though, with the finish showing an increasing dryness with air.

on February 24, 2013 - 11:16 PM
Thomas Augostini, an employee benefits specialist, uses the carrot-and-stick analogy to describe the federal Affordable Care Act – also known as Obamacare.
The carrots are the good things that consumers will get, such as care for dependents up to age 26 and coverage for pre-existing conditions.
The sticks are the penalties that come with failure to comply with the new law.
In 2014, local governments and their employees are going to start feeling those sticks.
"There is a lot of uncertainty about what the impact is going to be," said Augostini, of insurer Haylor, Freyer & Coon, in Johnson City. "I can, at least, tell you the budgets aren't going to go down because of it. So, now, it's about how do we budget for the impact?"
Some issues facing municipalities are:
• Managing personnel staffing levels and classifications that could trigger additional costs.
• Penalties for employees who opt for a health care exchange instead of the municipality-offered program.
• A 40 percent excise "Cadillac tax" in 2018 that forces employers – including municipalities – to get control of health care costs.
Managing the demands of Obamacare will require preparation and skill, experts say.
Leaders of villages, cities, towns and school districts with the equivalent of 50 or more full-time employees "should be learning as much as they can," said Augostini, who held a seminar on the issue last week during the statewide meeting of the Association of Towns in New York City. And budgeting in advance for the health care law isn't going to be easy, municipal officials are finding.
"This area is still very gray for us and for a lot of the other municipalities in Western New York," said David C. Hartzell Jr., Clarence supervisor. "It will cost us more than what is estimated. Programs coming to municipalities from the federal government rarely come in on time and under budget."
"We're all going to be faced with it," said Sheila M. Meegan, West Seneca supervisor. "We're just learning as much as we can."
Meegan said West Seneca joined a consortium, including Erie County Water Authority, Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority and Off Track Betting. Its members recently collected information on Obamacare during a six-hour workshop offered through a labor management group.
Topping West Seneca's concerns, she said, is if the town will be required to foot the bill for health insurance for part-time employees come 2014. "My concern is, we are very heavy in part-timers," Meegan said. "Do we pay the penalty and not provide it at all? Or, what if we find out in the end that it's cheaper to hire people full time instead of part time?"
Town of Tonawanda Supervisor Anthony F. Caruana said town officials have been huddling with consultants from Lawley Insurance and labor management HealthCare Fund to get ready.
"So many provisions will take effect in 2014 and our Human Resources Department is working to make sure that we are ready," said Caruana.
Caruana noted the town is concerned about the potential for a premium hike by the plan's reduction, or elimination, of a subsidy made to insurance companies that provide coverage for Medicare-eligible retirees.
"The current subsidy allows BlueCross BlueShield to discount the premiums on their Over 65 plans, which leads to significant savings to the town," Caruana said. "We are watching this situation closely."
Orchard Park Supervisor Janis Colarusso said a consultant told officials the town can expect a 4 to 5 percent increase in health care reform taxes and fees" under Obamacare.
"We hope that upcoming negotiations with our unions will help contain the overall cost of our medical plans," she added.
Cheektowaga Supervisor Mary F. Holtz anticipates "little impact" in 2014, noting new employees are now required to contribute to their health insurance. She also said the town's contribution is high enough to meet the law's mandates. Holtz, like other town officials, points to the post-2014 challenges of the law and how it applies to contract negotiations.
"The 2018 excise tax on high-cost plans," she pointed out, "must be taken into consideration in future negotiations."

5 Questions That Movie Plots Never Seem to Answer
Most of the time, asking questions is a good thing. Think about where humans would be today if nobody had ever asked, "I wonder if that animal will let me use it as a chair?" or "Have you noticed that drinking this fermented bread makes everyone look more attractive?"
But the exception to this is when you're watching movies and TV shows. Here, the inability to turn off your logic-brain will not only ruin your immersion, but also destroy every friendship you have. Your former companions will gather around screens in other people's houses while you sit at home, eating popcorn salted with your own tears, and ask yourself: "Shouldn't a monster that big collapse under its own weight? Why didn't the police see the tracks leading up to Walter White's car? How long will it take for my ferret to eat me after I die?" So consider yourself warned: The following five questions may be capable of wrecking both your movie enjoyment and your social life forever. Let's start with ...
#5. How Is Everybody Blow Drying Their Hair?
Christopher Robbins/Photodisc/Getty Images
It's the end of the world. Reliable electricity is a forgotten dream. Gangs roam the Earth in post-apocalyptic clothing, fighting each other for scraps of pilot goggles and hobo gloves. The men are grizzled and bearded, because in this dark future blades are for stabbing, not for shaving. And then the women are running around like this:
Warner Bros. Television, Warner Bros., AMC Studios
More volume than any of their characters.
Look at those clean, voluminous tresses! In real life, long hair that's left to dry naturally without product will usually either hang limp against the scalp like depressed pasta or turn into a frizzy head-labyrinth. Nothing in nature produces those soft, perfectly symmetrical curls. They're the work of either a blow dryer and a round brush or a curling iron and a hell of a lot of mousse, and none of those things can be grown in someone's survivalist vegetable garden or rigged together out of the corpses of our new robotic overlords. You can get a similar look by wrapping your hair in rags or plastic curlers and leaving it like that overnight, but we see these women at night, and none of them is sporting a 1950s-style curlers-and-headscarf ensemble.

A zombie-apocalypse scene judged too shocking for viewers.
The post-apocalyptic phantom hair product problem has been going on for a long time. When Planet of the Apes came out in 1968, the female lead had '60s-style helmet hair that we were meant to believe had just grown that way. Twenty years later, post-apocalyptic women were suddenly blessed with feathery '80s dos. Of course, no one expects movies to be 100 percent realistic when it comes to appearances, but why do shows and movies that pride themselves on being gritty and realistic make everything gritty and realistic except women's hair? Is there a tough union of hair stylists that threatens to break directors' legs if they don't get enough working hours? Or do male costume designers assume that female hair is naturally that pretty and that loud gun-shaped machine in the bathroom is just what women use to blow their boobs into shape every morning?

#4. How Are They Going to the Bathroom in Those Suits?
Hope Milam/iStock/Getty Images
If you're a crime-fighting vigilante, or any kind of badass woman at all, then your movie-universe outfit of choice will always be a nice tight one-piece suit. And why not? It protects your skin from the elements, it won't get in the way when you're kicking things, and the sight of your sculpted abs will be sure to demoralize bad guys who are suffering from poor self-image.
20th Century Fox
En Sabah Nur's real battle began when he could not lose those last 10 pounds.
It's important to stay hydrated while fighting crime, though, and that is a problem, because it is almost impossible to pee while wearing any sort of superhero gear. Recently I made the mistake of wearing a one-piece Avengers costume to a Halloween party. By the time I got out of the bathroom after disassembling and reassembling the thing, the line outside was so long that hipsters were joining it ironically. Now imagine trying to squeeze in a bathroom break when you're also trying to track down and capture whole gangs of villains, like Batman, or spay and neuter all the stray kittens in Boston, like Superman (that's what Superman does, right? I didn't watch the last movie).
Marvel Studios, Warner Bros.
"God, why did I have tacos?"
At least Black Widow's suit looks like it unzips at the front, although taking off all those belts and armbands every time you need to pee must be a pain. But what about poor Batman? Is he wearing a diaper like astronauts have to? Did Lucius Fox design his suit to recycle fluids like the stillsuits in Dune? Are there times where Batman is trash-talking with some street punk, and then his eyes suddenly unfocus and he stares into the distance for a while and says "Ahhh, that's better" while the punk just stands there awkwardly and ignores the asparagus smell? Can you imagine Spider-Man or Captain America having to take off their suits to take a leak, leaving their masks on for anonymity as their buttocks shine in the New York City moonl- what's that? Many people on the Internet have already imagined superheroes doing this? OK then.
rock-hard-disney.tumblr.com (NSFW)
It's time we appreciated the valuable research into costume logistics contributed by the superhero porn community.
#3. How Is Everyone Getting Around Los Angeles?
Aleksandra Glustsenko/iStock/Getty Images
It's no secret that a disproportionate number of movies are set in Los Angeles. What is apparently a big secret, though, is Los Angeles traffic, also known as the worst thing in America. LA is a city of car lovers with a road system suitable for a village of underground burrowing mole people, and it's been like that for decades.
egdigital/iStock/Getty Images
Pictured: A typical Los Angeles high-speed chase scene.
Every movie that takes place in LA, however, has people rushing around on roads that are as clear and empty as rural Australia in 1937. In the opening scenes of Drive, criminals cruise around downtown LA during the evening for seven minutes without a single traffic jam and barely any missed lights, despite being right next to the venue of a major basketball game. Has this actually happened before to anyone ever? Did this take place in an alternative universe where some sort of Autobot God raptured all the good cars away?
Pictured: Los Angeles, six months after the giant sky-magnet took all the cars to his holy realm.
The same questions apply to dozens of other LA-set movies. How did the soldiers drive down that freeway in a bus in Battle Los Angeles? If aliens did come and bomb LA and everybody tried to flee by car, would anyone notice any difference? How did John Connor (riding a motorcycle) flee from the T-1000 (driving an 18-wheeler) through LA's streets in Terminator 2 and not escape within like three seconds? The only reason anyone chooses to take part in the chess game with Death that is motorcycle riding in LA is that a motorcycle is usually the only thing on the street that is actually moving.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Abbott is paying Reata Pharmaceuticals $400 million up front as part of a worldwide collaboration to jointly develop and commercialize the latter's second-generation oral antioxidant inflammation modulator (AIM) portfolio. The deal expands the firms' existing agreement, signed in September 2010, under which Abbott has exclusive rights to develop and commercialize Reata's lead AIM compound, bardoxolone methyl (RTA 402), globally, excluding the U.S. and certain Asian markets. Bardoxolone methyl is currently undergoing a Phase III clinical study in patients with stage 4 chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes.
Under terms of the new deal Abbott and Reata will equally share costs and profits for all new AIMs in the majority of licensed indications, including pulmonary and central nervous system disorders, as well as immunology. Abbott will be responsible for 70% of the costs and retain 70% of the profits for AIM candidates developed for indications in rheumatoid arthritis and other selected autoimmune diseases. Clinical trials with the first compound are expected to start during 2012.
The firms have in addition established a research collaboration to discover new molecules that exhibit the same pharmacology as AIMs already in Reata's pipeline. "This deal helps Reata advance new molecules into clinical development in multiple important diseases and enables our company to build a global commercial presence," comments Warren Huff, CEO.
AIMs are transcription factor Nrf2 activators, designed to trigger the expression of a range of antioxidant, detoxification, and anti-inflammatory genes. Nrf2 activation also inhibits NF-KB, which regulates pro-inflammatory genes. Reata claims that Nrf2 suppression and NF-KB activation have been associated with a range of chronic diseases including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease, neurodegenerative disease, and COPD.

There are 3 main sites that do pretty much the same thing, the choice is up to you which you prefer:
I cant say much for Google Code as i havent used it at all. BitBucket I know has free private repos if you dont want people to have access to it. And then there is Github, which is what i normally use.
Either way its a learning curve, but its worth it if you plan to upload a lot of code. You have to google questions, and how-to's. This will help teach some basics with git and github. The benefits however are awesome. You can upload your code for the ease of working with other programmers. Large amounts of people can work together. Others may make a comment on how to better your code, along with the code that they suggest. If you jump between numerous computers a lot, you can easily transfer project/files to and from any of them via your repos. Any change is saved in history, so if 6 months later you decide you want to use that one code you had, but you deleted that file, you can go back and still see the file contents and retrieve it.
Assuming you created an account at github, here is a quick tutorial on uploading your first repo.
1) first we need code to upload, which could be your code, or could be something as simple a text file with nothing in it.
- Code: Select all
metulburr@ubuntu:~/repos/test$ touch test.txt
metulburr@ubuntu:~/repos/test$ ls
ok now we have a file called test.txt. It doesnt have anything on it, but that doesnt matter.
2) now we need to initialize git because this is a new directory that never had a .git in it before.
- Code: Select all
metulburr@ubuntu:~/repos/test$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/metulburr/repos/test/.git/
3) now we need to connect this directory with a git repo on github. Go onto the github.com, and click new repo, make a repo name (can be anything), now click create repo. It will list off a series of commands you need to make too. You will see a second url bar containing something like the address https://github.com/metulburr/test.git in it where my name of repo was "test", copy it to your clipboard. now go back to your terminal
3) in the terminal, input:
- Code: Select all
git remote add origin https://github.com/metulburr/test.git
and replace url path with whatever yours is. Now this directory is connected to your git on the site.
4) now we add the files to upload
- Code: Select all
metulburr@ubuntu:~/repos/test$ git add test.txt
5) now we comment (which must be done)
- Code: Select all
metulburr@ubuntu:~/repos/test$ git commit -m "first commit"
[master (root-commit) 5f2c638] first commit
1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 test.txt
6) now we finally upload the file to the repo on the site:
- Code: Select all
metulburr@ubuntu:~/repos/test$ git push origin master
Depending on how you set up git or created a .netrc file with authentication in it, etc. You may also at this point have to insert your username and password that is associated with your github account.
and there you should see the test.txt file in your new repo.
This was very cut and dry. There are a ton of things you can do, and i only named off the requirements to upload, there is more if you want to change the code you already put up, etc. etc.
For those that want to ease the method of converting to github, if your on windows, there is a GUI tool to help push/pull repos:
