Mom appreciates
donation of passes
To the editor:
I would like to thank the Salem resident who purchased athletic passes for my sons, Michael and Marcus.
This was done anonymously and I have to respect their wishes. I just wanted to let this person know how much this was appreciated by Michael and Marcus and myself.
To say they were very excited is an understatement. The older the boys get, the more sociable they want to be and go see all the games and show their support, especially if they don't have to participate in them.
So now I don't have an excuse as to why they can't go because it would always be that I couldn't afford for them to go all the time. And as a struggling, single mom, you have no idea how much this truly means to me.
Again, from the very bottom of my heart ... thank you!
Words of thanks to the
Salem News and readers
To the editor:
Recently, Salem News was kind enough to publish public information regarding my retirement party from Family Health Care in Salem. As a result of the publication, many patients, friends, and colleagues attended my party and numerous others sent heartwarming cards of congratulations.
I would like to send a public note of thanks to all the Salem News readers for their kindness and support. It was such a joy to recapture so many memories shared with each of you throughout my many years as a nurse. Your good will was a perfect conclusion to a fulfilling career.
Again, thank you very much!
Class of 1964 creates
some new memories
To the editor:
On behalf of the Salem High School Class of 1964, we would like to thank Dr. Jeff Nolte, Matthew Butts and their staff at the Kent State City Center, for their vision, enthusiasm and cooperation in helping us host our 45th class reunion get-together on Aug. 7.
For a short time we were teenagers again walking through the halls of our Salem Junior High School, revisiting the classrooms, library and auditorium. The setting was perfect and everyone had fun reminiscing and reliving highlights about their classmates, classes and their former teachers.
They were also thrilled to see the renovations and upgrades that Kent has made over the past several years. Everyone agreed and appreciated the fact that Kent State had the foresight to save this "jewel" for our community.
This special building, not only bridges thousands of Salem alumni to their past, it continues its long tradition of being used to educate students for their future.
You can get a glimpse of the fun we had at the old junior high by visiting the Class of 1964's website www.salemcomputer.com/64reunion.
TASI and KAREN CARTER,
45th class reunion
Imploring you to seek
out the facts and truth
To the editor:
To my fellow Americans:
Are you as turned off as I am regarding the absolutely brutish behavior of those people at meetings with President Obama or representatives of Congress?
Guns carried openly, not being able to ask questions and get answers above the insane screaming and the Hitler rhetoric reminds me very much of the way Nazi Brownshirts disrupted meetings in Weimar, Germany. Most of today's protesters aren't old enough to remember WWII or the Nazi era. My own father was sent by his parents to this country in 1928 to escape the Brownshirts, and he's told me about the way the Nazis behaved. Even those people advocating white power today would not really care to live under a Nazi regime if they had ever read history and understood what went on in Germany in those days.
About getting back to original constitutional times when only landowners had the vote, women were chattels and if you were sick you died; or if you were broke, only your neighbor could help if they were not in the same pickle. Again, if these people knew anything about history, they would know better.
Do you really want to give up unemployment insurance, Social Security and Medicare? These were all called socialist programs by their opponents. The dictionary defines Socialism as a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state - do you really think that's what we have today?
Do you really want to give up the government benefits we currently enjoy ...with two job families, who can care for elderly parents? Where were our handicapped and learning disabled before government stepped in? I went to school with a girl whose sister spent her years in an institution in Columbus. How will our children go to college without government loans?
The president received 53 percent of the vote, which means 53percent of Americans believed in him. There are signs the economy is turning around, my investments are climbing; GM is increasing production. I don't care how you vote but at least get the truth-not from Fox or CNN or Rush Limbaugh. Go to factcheck.org or go to snopes.org. I believe in finding out the truth before I speak out because I don't like eating my words.
Grateful for help after
Annie gets loose
To the editor:
On Tuesday, Aug. 11, my dog tore a hole in a porch screen, found the only loose board in our backyard fence and began an escapade that lasted six days.
Now that Annie is safely back home, I want to thank the many people who helped in any way. This community has many generous and caring citizens of all ages whom I met during this search.
Among those watching for her were children on bicycles carrying dog treats, SHS cross country runners, mail carriers, delivery persons, joggers, people walking their own dogs and dog lovers who identified with my situation as a distraught pet owner.
I spoke with many kind people who were simply doing their jobs and were very understanding and supportive, including the Salem Police Department, post office, Salem News office and all the area dog rescues and shelters. And there were some of my friends who risked poison ivy and briars in the search for the elusive Annie. I am grateful to all of you.
I wish to thank all the businesses who permitted me to post flyers, and to all the people who took the time to be on the lookout for a black and white dog while they went about their daily routines. The response from the community was truly amazing. Some people called to give advice on finding her, some called when they saw a dog that matched her description, some called offering to help track her down. And when the signs came down, some called to ask if we had good news.
The happy ending was a culmination of sightings by a mail carrier and a resident, a borrowed dog trap, and the interest of three boys who notified me when the dog entered the trap. Thank you, everyone, for bringing Annie home.
CHERYL McDEVITT,
State budget cuts
are hurting children
To the editor:
The recently adopted state budget contained unprecedented cuts to many systems which serve people in need in our communities. Prior to the finalization of the budget bill, there was much heated debate over which systems were most deserving of the limited funding available.
Many systems were vying for limited dollars. Legislators were faced with difficult questions. Do we feed the hungry? Counsel the mentally ill? Provide housing for the homeless? And on and on. When the dust settled, many systems which serve the less fortunate of our society found themselves with big holes in their budgets.
No one can argue that cuts needed to be made. There simply was not enough state money to continue to fund everything.
In times of economic downturn, we must re-prioritize and put our limited resources where the need is the greatest. Sadly, this budget bill really short-changed a group of people - children, as it were - whose need is undeniably the greatest of all. Who are these children? The adopted children of Ohio.
Adopted children who come through the foster care system are certainly the most in need of all of our residents. First, as children, they are vulnerable and deserve to be protected. Second, they have already lost the love and support of their biological parents - something which we all take for granted. Who can be more deserving of the full support of society?
And yet Governor Strickland allowed his Budget Bill to strip Ohio's system of adoption of its viability on not one but numerous fronts. He reduced the state's share of the agreed upon subsidies to adoptive parents-a mix of federal, state, and local money-and left counties holding the bag. He eliminated the funds with which we seek families who are willing to adopt these children - and left counties holding the bag. He cut in half the amount of money these families can be reimbursed for the many expenses they incur as they wade their way through the legal system.
And he did all of this at the very time when Ohio is under the gun from a federal performance audit to improve performance in decreasing the amount of time it takes to find a family which can provide a permanent home for a child whose parents have lost their parental rights. Thanks a lot, governor!
At the local level, we will continue to do everything we can to provide stability for these children. Our local funds are very limited - certainly much more limited than the great state of Ohio, but apparently it is up to us do to what is right. And we now know we cannot count on the people in Columbus to do so.
Columbiana County
Department of Job and
Family Services,
Supporters come through for ACS
To the editor:
Back on July 10, on a hot summer day, the Relay For Life of Columbiana celebrated 25 years of hope with its annual event at Crestview High School. The previous year, Relay surpassed its goal by raising $52,000, and this was our goal in 2009. Despite an uncertain economy, supporters in the fight against cancer nearly matched goal by raising over $50,000 for the American Cancer Society's research, education, advocacy and quality of life programs.
We consider any dollar amount raised for our cause to be a success, and we thank all of our sponsors and all individual donors for making this year's event a success.
We had an amazing event that began with the ROCcK Children's Choir singing the national anthem at the ceremonial opening. The rock continued with music from the bands 3:16 and Third Class. At the conclusion of the night, after the 'silent lap' in which attendees walk a lap dedicated to those who have lost the battle against cancer, BJ Alan lighted up the sky with a fantastic fireworks show. To conclude the night of entertainment, an awesome Fire Show and Juggling by The Third Degree led us into the late night hours.
The festivities of that Friday and Saturday were outstanding with a great entertainment line-up, including the Thriller Dance Contest (which was scheduled before the untimely death of M.J.), thanks to our Entertainment Chair Diane Hrusovski. We did have some bad weather that made us pack up a bit early, but overall we consider this event a tremendous success.
Once again we would like to thank our sponsors WKBN, Town Crier, Comcast, Hot 101, the Morning Journal, Salem News, The Review, B.J. Alan Fireworks, Classic Tent Rentals, Heritage-WTI, the Pete Amato Foundation, Allied Waste, Cancer Care Center, East Liverpool City Hospital, B.O.S.S., and Salem Community Hospital. We could not hold such an event without their support and we hope they stick with us in the future. And of course, we especially want to thank all of the teams and individual donors who contributed whatever they could, even though the troubling economic times we are experiencing. And lastly, thank you to LaDawn Whitman and Linda Donnalley and all the committee members who volunteered their time and energy who continue to make the Relay For Life such a memorable event each year. We hope to see you all back next year!

This programme benefits from Surrey Business School's expertise in retail – we have been offering programmes in the subject since 1989 – and reflects the demand for highly qualified managers in a rapidly internationalising sector.
At Surrey Business School, we offer a diverse range of business and management programmes that are fuelled by a common approach: encouraging you to be entrepreneurial and innovative, providing opportunities for you to engage with real-world business problems throughout your programme.
Retailing is a highly significant economic activity on both a national and international scale. Recognising this, we offer an MSc designed for those looking to develop their knowledge of the theory and practice of retail marketing and its application in the international business environment.
The programme also enables you to develop your knowledge of business management more generally, reflecting the demand for qualified managers in the sector.
The competitive significance of advanced retail marketing practices is increasingly acknowledged, making this programme highly relevant for future managers in retail and related professional services, working in both developed and developing business environments.
The student experience on this programme will include large lecture classes alongside seminars delivered to smaller groups. This offers you the opportunity to meet and interact with students from other programmes across Surrey Business School.
The programme comprises seven compulsory modules, one optional module and a dissertation.
Compulsory modules:
Optional modules:
Consumer behaviour is evident in everyday life and knowledge and understanding of this subject is beneficial to marketing and strategy formulation. The module will focus on behavioural concepts, appropriate research techniques and recent research findings to enhance students' understanding of how consumers choose products. Recent trends in consumer behaviour applied to services are also incorporated.
The module is divided into two distinct elements, firstly the principles of marketing are covered, and secondly the retail industry specific application of marketing is analysed. The module also creates an opportunity to explore 'real life' decision-making and enhances a wide range of study skills, such as independent research, analytical skills as well as critical thinking.
Internationalisation is now a very substantive feature of the retail industry, with implications for retail competition, retailer strategy, retail development and supply chain management among other issues. A considerable and growing body of academic and practitioner literature surrounds this issue. It provides a valuable body of knowledge to inform future retail marketing managers and highlights some of the potential complexities and enduring challenges of retailing in an international environment. This module is designed to help you to understand the extent and nature of retail internationalisation and to critically evaluate related theories and conceptualisations.
Relationship marketing, including customer relationship management, is a very current topic in marketing. Module content includes case studies, alliances and partnerships, capture of data, database management and the role of customer service and quality in RM.
Retail buying and merchandising are the core-competencies of retailers and impact substantially on retailers image and profitability. This module evaluates the role and nature of buying and merchandising strategies in meeting objectives (both financial and non-financial) of retail organisations. It examines specific management applications utilised in meeting product and service criteria set by the retail mix. Additionally the module touches upon related areas like in-store and shopper-marketing, retail operations and supply chain management.
This module covers the fundamentals of research practice. It introduces the process of research project formulation and the key elements of research design, namely the choice of unit of analysis, measurement, methods of data collection, and data analysis. Ultimately, the module prepares you to design and execute your research study for your dissertation in a systematic and scientific manner.
This module introduces students to the core principles of digital marketing. New technologies change the way companies interact with consumers. Technological evolution continues apace and marketers are seeking to exploit it in new, creative ways. This module provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the contextual, strategic and operational issues involved in the application of technology to marketing.
This module provides the conceptual foundations for understanding, analysing and interpreting accounting and cost management information. Students learn how to apply accounting principles and financial theory to decision-making in modern business organisations. Module content includes the financial environment, corporate governance and analysis of the prime financial statements.
This module provides an opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired during the programme to a set problem of international marketing with a view to supporting reasoned choices. Students undertake a basic investigation leading to conclusions which are theoretically underpinned and empirically supported on some international business problem identified from the literature.
Students are introduced to the concepts, issues, theory and practice of marketing communications (marcoms) and integrated marketing communications (IMC). This provides an understanding of how marketing communications work in practice, taking into account the context, culture and market characteristics.
This module covers the critical aspects of marketing research theory and practice to support and improve marketing management practice. Module content includes quantitative research, questionnaire design, advertising research, research on pricing, channel management research, internet research, and international market research.
Technology advances of the past decade have dramatically enhanced marketers' means of collecting and analysing data to measure the ROI and effectiveness of their marketing strategies. This module is designed to provide students with an overview of what data is collected, how it can be analysed, and interpreted to guide marketing executives in their strategic decisions. The module focuses on introducing students to key analytical techniques with an emphasis on interpreting results and generating strategic insights for marketing decision making.
The dissertation is the final element of the programme which provides an opportunity for a sustained period of research. It allows students to concentrate on a topic that is of particular interest to you and it draws upon a range of different aspects of the taught programme. It also gives students an opportunity to work on their own with individual supervision.
Surrey is rated as the fourth best university in the UK for marketers by the LinkedIn University Rankings.
Surrey Business School is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and by the Association of MBAs (AMBA).
The University of Surrey is a member of the Academy of Marketing.

Patrick surprise of Kansas with career-best run
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Danica Patrick added another May moment to cherish.
"Chicks rule, huh?" crew chief Tony Gibson playfully told her at Kansas.
She might not have totally ruled, but she put on a performance that recalled her better ones at the Indianapolis 500.
Patrick showed that she can be a serious driver who can craft a complete weekend and contend for a top-five finish.
Patrick was the surprise of Saturday night with her seventh-place finish at Kansas Speedway, the best of her Cup career.
Stewart-Haas Racing boss and teammate Tony Stewart, Gibson, and her parents were among the throng of well-wishers in the garage that made it a celebratory scene straight out of her dazzling Daytona 500 to kick off 2013.
"I've always believed in myself and with the right situation, a good car, that I can do it," she said.
She easily had her best weekend of the season, spending most of the race inside the top 10, and brought a needed jolt of electricity in a race during which the lights went out on the backstretch, passing teammate Stewart and Dale Earnhardt Jr. to move into third with 95 laps left.
Patrick hadn't finished better this season than 14th at Fontana and her lone top-10 in the Cup series was eighth in the 2013 Daytona 500. She won a pole at Kansas in IndyCar in 2005.
Jeff Gordon, who won his 89th Cup race at Kansas, called Patrick's performance "impressive."
"That's a real testament to her work ethic and her talent, as well as Stewart-Haas," Gordon said. "Those guys are just really putting out some great race cars right now. She did a great job."

NEWARK, N.J. - A New Jersey Democratic county chairman said Friday that Newark Mayor Cory Booker told him he was mulling a gubernatorial run against Gov. Christie in 2013, which drew a demurral from the mayor.
The chairman, who said he spoke on condition of anonymity because the county's executive committee had not been told the news, said he met with Booker last week. The chairman said Booker requested the meeting.
The chairman said Booker had talked to other county chairs about his potential plans.

This is one of two volumes which present "an exhaustive treatment of the chemistry and technology of food and food products." As the preface states, "The extensive expansion in almost every field in the theoretical and applied sciences has made it very difficult for a single individual to survey any given field adequately." Twenty-one chemists, biochemists, food technologists, bacteriologists, public health officials and others have each contributed a discussion of a phase of the subject in which he is considered an expert.
This volume presents two of the six parts that make up this two volume work. The first of these two parts deals with fundamentals of the chemistry, nomenclature, classification and metabolism and gives much other valuable information about the nutritive constituents of foods. It also shows some of the relations between food constituents and organic compounds produced within the organism. The fate of foodstuffs within the body is

Founders Journal 74 · Fall 2008 · pp. 28-30
Wanted: A Few Weak Men
For many years the United States Army recruited soldiers by means of a now classic poster of Uncle Sam, his brows fully furrowed to highlight an austere countenance, his finger pointed directly at the face of potential enlistees. The whole picture sought to communicate gravely the slogan emblazoned across the poster beneath Sam's red, white and blue torso: "I want you." This was a major part of the army's overall campaign to recruit soldiers under the slogan, "Wanted: A few good men." When I was younger, I once heard a preacher say that God, like your local military recruiter, is looking for a few good men.
Without a doubt, the Christian minister's calling bears many similarities to the job description of the soldier: the faithful man of God is perennially engaged in battle against an enemy whose strategies are as unpredictable as they are lethal; God's man is to go about equipped in full battle array–the impenetrable armor of God, and he is equipped with the sword of the Spirit as his weapon. In summary, the faithful gospel minister is a man of war and Scripture is replete with warfare imagery. Thus, the gospel ministry is no place for those weak of heart.
But there is one significant difference between the calling of the earthly soldier and the warrior who marches under the banner of the King of Glory: For God's warrior, strength lies in weakness and ultimate victory on the battlefield will only come through full, immediate and wholesale surrender. And profound suffering, for God's herald, is the only boot camp that will fit him to survive the theatre of war.
These differences never rang with greater clarity to me than during Ray Ortlund Jr.'s recent visit to The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Ortlund, a veteran minister who presently serves as pastor of Immanuel Church in Nashville, Tennessee, delivered the annual E.Y. Mullins Lectures at Southern and for three days, he gloriously articulated a God-exalting, pride-slaying vision of the Christian ministry. It was a much-needed antidote to the ethos of professionalism that dominates the landscape of evangelical ministry today.
During his first lecture, Ortlund unpacked 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 and powerfully reminded us that "a crucified Savior can be preached only in divine power" and Christ can be preached in divine power "only by crucified preachers."
This is the quality of weakness that must typify the soldier of Christ. In Paul's day, great rhetoricians were in demand in much the same way as are the televangelist superstars of our day. These speakers came with lofty words and high-minded ideas. They displayed an air of omni-competence and were not remiss to put their brilliance on display to dazzle their listeners.
Yet, the apostle Paul operated through another strategy, one that led him to admit to the Corinthians, "And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom " (1 Corinthians 2:3-4a). Why such an unexpected admission? As Ortlund reminded us, Paul operated this way because "God's strategy for all of humanity is to destroy the wisdom of the wise" through "choosing the weak to shame the wise." As John Piper so succinctly put it, brothers, we are not professionals. We are weak and clueless and foolish, yet chosen by God as instruments to herald His gospel. How humbling! Why does God work in this way? Verses 4-5 in 2 Corinthians 2 provide the answer: " in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith might not rest on the wisdom of men but in the power of God." God works this way so that the faith of sinners may rest upon the bedrock of divine grace and He works this way so that He gets all the glory. Preaching that stakes the claim of power for itself empties the cross of its effectual glory. Paul understood this well, as Ortlund further reminded us, "Paul was fully dependent upon the Holy Spirit's power to prove the truthfulness of the cross That is the wisdom and power of God. The changing of the human heart is a miracle and God does it through weak preachers." For all who would presume to proclaim the oracles of God, let us not be intimidated by our weakness; instead, like Paul, let us boast in it so that God's glory might be manifest.
In his second message, Ortlund examined 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5 and asserted that humility must be the distinguishing mark of the faithful minister. "The divine power with which we preach to our people is inseparable from the kind of men we are with other people," he said. In other words, in preaching to our congregations, we must adorn the gospel with the sweet savor of Christ, for therein lies the power of God. It was Paul's deep and selfless love toward the people that embodied his ministry to the Thessalonians. Such love is paradigmatic for the type of affections that a faithful minister must display toward his people in order to see the gospel come "not only in word, but also in the power and in the Holy Spirit with full conviction" (1 Thessalonians 1:5).
Ortlund's final message, from 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, demonstrated perhaps the single most countercultural aspect of the gospel ministry: A minister's greatest spiritual breakthrough comes, not through power encounters with God, but through the most harrowing experiences of his life. Ortlund pointed out that Paul did not reach a spiritual pinnacle through being lifted up to the third heaven; rather, Paul's intimacy with God increased exponentially as he suffered from a providentially placed thorn. The thorn had the net effect of keeping Paul humble and dramatically emphasized his weakness and dependence upon the might of the Lord. "Authentic Christianity does not produce a race of men who rise above need," Ortlund said. "Paul is not threatened by his weakness because it is through it, through the thorn, that Christ's power and presence rest on him." So much modern-day preaching, particularly at the popular level, exudes precisely the opposite ethos. Indeed, much contemporary preaching merely employs cute aphorisms that commandeer the Bible to promote a form of human wisdom, a form of "wisdom" that promises to meet ten thousand felt needs. These promises are empty, however, because they bypass the one thing needful to give them credence: the power of God. As Ortlund pointed out, the human heart never changes and human sinfulness continues to need the same remedy of divine grace. The contemporary church needs precisely the sort of minister of which Ortlund spoke: men who, conscious of the depth of their own weakness, operate under a battle plan of humility adorned by an unshakable confidence in the power of God and the Word of God.
The gospel ministry is a calling of deep paradox. God's man must be strong in the Lord, but strong in the power of His might. The herald of Christ must hear and heed the words of the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 16:13, "Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong " all the while operating out of the selflessness of verse 14, "Let all that you do be done in love." For God's man, the way up is down, the path to greatness is through full dependence upon sovereign grace. This stunning gospel paradox has outfitted some of the greatest preachers in history–Spurgeon, Bunyan, Luther, Calvin–all of whom suffered greatly, worked humbly and were used profoundly.
Ortlund's clarion call to ministers and future ministers at the seminary recalls the words of A.W. Tozer, words that should be emblazoned on the hearts and minds of every man who is wrestling with the call to ministry: "Before God can use a man greatly, he must bruise him deeply." This is the radical paradox that must typify the faithful herald of the gospel, a paradox which Piper summarizes in his customary pithy style: "We are fools for the sake of Christ. But professionals are wise. We are weak. But professionals are strong. Professionals are held in honor. We are in disrepute. We do not try to secure a professional lifestyle, but we are ready to hunger and thirst and be ill-clad and homeless."[1]
Brothers, God is looking for a few men whose strength lies in their weakness, whose heart beats with love for sinful men, who seek to walk the narrow road that leads to life along a path fraught with vicious enemies–some of whom are invisible, others of whom are camouflaged as friends–and deadly dangers, toils and snares too numerous to name. Are you ready to enlist?

Investment Decisions, Financing Decisions, and Firm Value

Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
October 1996
We estimate that the average value of a dollar invested in the U.S. corporate sector is $1.18. When we delete utilities and current assets, where opportunities for value added seem limited, the estimate jumps to $1.68. We use cross-section regressions to study how value is related to dividends and debt. The regressions can potentially identify tax effects, but they cannot disentangle other factors, including bankruptcy costs, agency costs, and asymmetric information. Simple tax stories say value is negatively related to dividends and positively related to debt, but we find the opposite. We infer that dividends and debt convey information about profitability that obscures any tax effects.

Corporate Social Responsibility - An Economic and Financial Framework
Geoffrey M. Heal
Columbia Business School - Finance and Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
December 2004
I propose an economically coherent analysis of corporate social responsibility (CSR), and suggest how it is reflected in financial markets. CSR is defined as a program of actions taken to reduce externalized costs or to avoid distributional conflicts. It is an institution that has evolved in response to market failures, a Coasian solution to some problems associated with social costs. The analysis suggests that there is a resource-allocation role for CSR programs in cases of market failure through private-social cost differentials, and also in cases where distributional disagreements are likely to be strong. In some sectors of the economy private and social costs are roughly in line and distributional debates are unusual: here corporate social responsibility has little role to play. Such sectors are outnumbered by those where CSR can play a valuable role in ensuring that the invisible hand acts, as intended, to produce the social good. It can also act to improve corporate profits and guard against reputational risks.

Completely 100% non-gay, totally straight and heterosexual love between two male bros. The love between these two bros is a bond of mutual respect for each other and a deep understanding of their essential manliness. It is usually expressed by drinking beers together, watching football games, and in its highest form by sucking each others' dicks.
Jeremy: Woah, Chad! Are you and Tony gay?
Chad (dick in Tony's mouth): What? Of course not. Watch.
(Tony pulls his head back and Chad ejaculates all over his face).
Chad: See? If we were gay, he'd swallow. This is just a bromance.

Campus Debit Card
Students are encouraged to open a Campus Debit Card Account at Landmark College. This account (accessible through a student ID card), allows students to make purchases at the College Bookstore, Fireside Café, beverage and snack vending machines, dining hall, and participating off-campus locations.
The Campus Debit Account is a convenient way for students to purchase books and supplies at the beginning of the semester, as well as ensure access to spending money for snacks and supplies during the semester. Funds can be added to the account at any time (see Frequently Asked Questions).
Note on Obtaining Cash
The College does not give cash advances from the Campus Debit Account, and it does not work in ATMs. If you need cash you have the following options:
- ATMs are available in the Dining Hall (Alumni Hall) entryway and on the first floor of the Strauch Family Student Center. The machines accept almost any credit or debit card. The transaction fee is $2.00 plus any fee your home bank may charge. The ATM machine accepts thes following cash networks and is sponsored by Prosperity Bank:
- MasterCard
- Cirrus
- Visa
- Plus
- American Express
- Discover
- Star
- Pulse
- Accel
- Quest
- Shazar
- Check cashing service is available at the College Bookstore. (See policies.)
- Maintain a bank account with a local bank. The following banks have branches in Putney:
- People's United Bank
- River Valley Credit Union
Frequently Asked Questions about the Campus Debit Account
Where do I get a Campus Debit Card Account?
- As a student at Landmark College, your student ID card is automatically set up to be used as a Campus Debit Card if you choose to do so. All you need to do is add funds to the card through Quikpay or another method as described below.
- The Campus Debit Card is the same as your Landmark College Student ID card. This card is also your meal plan card and building access card.
- If you are a new student who is not yet on campus, you can add funds to your Campus Debit Account prior to your arrival.
How do I add funds to the card?
- A guest payer or new student without a Quikpay account can use Quikpay to make a payment using an e-check or VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER or AMEX. You will need to know the student's ID number and birthday. There are no credit card service fees charged to use this service. Funds will be applied to the Campus Debit Account by the end of the next business day.
- An authorized Quikpay user can log in to Quikpay to make a payment using any of above methods.
- A student with a Quikpay account can log in to Quikpay to make a payment using any of above methods.
- Funds can also be added to the card by mailing a check made out to Landmark College. Please indicate the student's name and note that it should be applied to the Campus Debit Account.
- Funds can also be added at New Student Registration via check, cash, VISA, MASTERCARD, or DISCOVER. Just stop by the Campus Debit Card table.
- Funds can be added to the card in person by presenting cash or check to a Business Office associate in the Administration Building.
Where can money be spent?
- Money applied to the account is equivalent to "Landmark Points", which are funds that can be used at on and off campus locations (see Meal Plans)
- Money on the Campus Card can be spent in the Landmark College Bookstore as well as the Fireside Cafe. the Dining Hall, and in all beverage and snack vending machines. It can also be used off campus at many locations. The purchase of tobacco products, alcohol and gasoline is not allowed.
- Off-campus locations that accept the Campus Debit Card, aka "Landmark Points"
How do I check my balance?
- Your account balance appears on your receipt after making a purchase with your Campus Debit Card. Students also have online access to account balances through SharkNet.
What happens to unspent funds?
- If a student is planning to return to the College, the funds will remain on the card for use when the student returns. If a student is not planning to return to Landmark, all unspent funds are credited to the student's tuition account. Any credit balances on the tuition account are refunded several weeks after the end of the semester.
Can I get a cash advance from the funds on my Campus Debit Account?
- No – the College does not give cash advances from the debit card. If a student needs cash, they should use the ATM cash machines located outside the bookstore near the student mailboxes or in the lobby of the dining hall. Campus cards do not work in the ATM. Students can also cash checks in the College Bookstore.
Does the Campus Debit Card work in the laundry machines?
- No – at this time the Campus Debit Card is not compatible with the ChangePoint system used by our laundry machines. The laundry machines accept coins (change machines available in laundry rooms) or traditional bank debit cards (see Laundry Services).
What amount does the College suggest for opening an account?
- For the Fall or Spring semester we suggest that the student start with $500 to $600, which should be enough for books, some supplies and some extra spending money. For the Summer programs, $100 is a good starting amount. The bookstore also accepts cash, check, VISA and MASTERCARD.

HUNTSVILLE, AL - The city's street repaving could go from 112 to zero in record time.
Mayor Tommy Battle's proposed 2010-11 fiscal budget does not include any neighborhood street repaving after repaving a record 112 streets this year.
Eliminating repaving next year is part of the mayor's plan to make up for the $14.8 million taken from cash reserves this year because of revenue shortfalls.
The upcoming repaving of 34 city streets along with the repaving of Meridian Street and Whitesburg Drive will be the last layers of new asphalt residents will see for awhile.
"There will be no resurfacing money when I get through with part of Meridian and part of Whitesburg," Terry Hatfield, director of the Public Works Services Department, said.
But, the City Council could still put money in Battle's proposed budget for repaving next year.
The City Council at its last meeting approved a $1.7 million contract with Wiregrass Construction Co. to repave 34 neighborhood streets.
The repaving budget this year of about $4 million plus nearly $4 million in federal stimulus money enabled the city to repave 112 streets this year.
"That's the most we've ever done in a year," Hatfield said.
An estimated $2 million is proposed in next year's budget, which starts Oct. 1, to repave Meridian Street and Whitesburg Drive, although the work will be done in this calendar year.
Meridian Street will be repaved between U.S. 72 and Winchester Road, and Whitesburg Drive will be repaved south of Airport Road, Hatfield said.
Here are the streets to be repaved in the recently approved contract:
Rolling Hills Drive from Hilltop Terrace to Winchester Road; Knollbrook Drive from Rolling Hills Drive to Hilltop Terrace; Cedar Point Drive from Green Meadow Road to Pulaski Pike; Cutler Drive from Lumary Drive to Blue Haven Drive; Joy Drive from Cutler Drive to Lumary Drive; Joy Circle from Joy Drive to the dead end; Gallalee Street from Drake Avenue to Bentley Street;
Fearn Street from Lookout Drive to Bankhead Parkway; Surrey Road from Hastings Road to Whitesburg Drive; Orba Drive from Oakwood Avenue to the dead end; Owens Drive from Hermitage Drive to Mont Dale Road; Watts Drive from Owens Drive to Owens Drive; South Shawdee Road from North Shawdee Road to the city limits; Camille Drive from Dell Avenue to Weatherly Road;
Sockwell Drive from Cahaba Drive to the dead end; Crapemyrtle Green from Nadina Drive to the dead end; Peel Street from Bob Wallace Avenue to Toftoy Drive; Jonquil Drive from Stringfield Road to Banks Street; Clifford Road from Mastin Lake Road to Buttrey Drive; Nathalee Avenue from Mastin Lake Road to Stringfield Road; Corona Street from Mastin Lake Road to Williamsburg Drive;
Cochran Road from Wall Triana Highway to Clipper Lane; Hastings Road from Drake Avenue to Overton Road; Avondale Drive from Mastin Lake Road to Rosedale Drive; Whittier Road from Lauderdale Road to Logan Drive; Ward Avenue from Andrew Jackson Way to the dead end; McCullough Avenue from Andrew Jackson Way to the dead end;
O'Shaughnessy Avenue from Andrew Jackson Way to Maysville Road; Turf Avenue from Love Drive to Beard Street; Beasley Avenue from Magnolia Drive to Pulaski Pike; Wilkenson Drive from Meridian Street to Wilkenson Drive; Moore Avenue from Hammonds Avenue to the dead end; Seventh Avenue from Triana Boulevard to Seminole Drive; and First Street from Bob Wallace Avenue to Governors Drive.

The trial involved an aging Philadelphia abortion doctor, a desperate and pregnant 13-year-old, and a baby born alive during an abortion and left to die.
But this trial occurred 24 years before that of West Philadelphia's Kermit Gosnell, sentenced Wednesday to three consecutive life terms after a jury found that he murdered three babies born alive in illegal late-term abortions.
It was Commonwealth v. Joseph L. Melnick, the first criminal prosecution under Pennsylvania's then-year-old Abortion Control Act.
The Melnick case was the precursor for prosecuting Gosnell, 72, for what happened inside his Women's Medical Society clinic at 3801 Lancaster Ave.

On February 14, the parties to the coordinated securities class actions pending against Merck & Co. Inc., Schering-Plough Corp., Merck/Schering-Plough Pharmaceuticals, certain of the companies' directors and officers, and the underwriters of a 2007 Schering stock offering announced that they had reached a settlement for a combined amount of $688 million. The massive $688 million settlement will be among the top 15 largest securities class action settlements for cases filed after the passage of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, according to a report by ISS' Securities Class Action Services.
Plaintiffs in the cases were shareholders who alleged that Merck and Schering (which merged in November 2009) artificially inflated their securities by concealing material information and making false statements regarding the anti-cholesterol drugs Zetia and Vytorin. The plaintiffs claimed that when the companies later disclosed that the cholesterol drugs showed "no statistically significant difference" in plaque buildup, it caused sharp declines in the value of the companies' securities and significant losses to investors. A trial in the case had been set to begin on March 4, 2013.
The law firms of Grant & Eisenhofer and Bernstein Litowitz served as co-lead counsel in the case against Merck, and Bernstein Litowitz and law firm Labaton Sucharow were co-lead counsel in the case against Schering.
The Arkansas Teacher Retirement System, Public Employees' Retirement System of Mississippi, Louisiana Municipal Police Employees' Retirement System, and Massachusetts Pension Reserves Investment Management Board were co-lead plaintiffs in the Schering action. The Jacksonville Police and Fire Pension Fund, General Retirement System of the City of Detroit, Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP and International Fund Management, S.A. Luxemburg were co-lead plaintiffs in the Merck case.

Toledo Stories: Grain: The Harold Anderson Story, Part 1
Thursday, February 12 at 8:00 p.m.
Mention "The Andersons" and chances are many, if not most, people will assume one is talking about a store. But "the store" is just one-sixth of The Andersons story.
The three-part series chronicles how Harold Anderson's dream to serve farmers began as a single truck terminal in the 1940s and eventually grew into today's publicly-traded firm with diverse interests that include agribusinesses such as grain and plant nutrients as well as railcar leasing, turf products, retailing and most recently, ethanol operations.
"Grain" begins with the immigration of Harold's father, David Anderson, Sr., who introduced his son to the flour milling industry. Viewers are introduced to Margaret Meilink, the love of Harold's life – and a Catholic. He was Presbyterian and in 1920, a "mixed marriage" was scandalous. But the marriage prevailed, weathering two failed businesses, personal tragedies and World War II. In 1947, Harold Anderson opened the Andersons Truck Terminal.
The DVD of "Grain: The Harold Anderson Story" is available for purchase. The DVD includes all three episodes of the series. Click here to buy now.

Hey there, tubby! How's that New Year's resolution about losing weight working out for ya?
If that exercise thing and healthy eating rigmarole are weighing on your nerves, maybe motivation will help.
It's time to sign up for the 10th annual Tribune Chronicle-St. Elizabeth / St. Joseph Health Centers Fitness Challenge, a community weight loss competition to benefit local charities.
''We know that many people need motivation to begin eating healthy,'' Sue Shafer, Tribune Chronicle community events coordinator, said.
''We all need to be more conscious of our health and eating habits. And we are helping out our favorite charities raise much-needed donations in a difficult economy when donations are down,'' she said.
We will tease, taunt and tug each other on toward better health. It's a light-hearted approach that attempts to spin a little fun into the accountability of competition to jump-start your journey toward better health.

For example, while it is illegal to load your pockets with obesity studies to pad your initial weigh-in, it is perfectly fine to send doughnuts to an opposing teams to test their resolve.
The Challenge works like this: Five-member teams spend 10 weeks eating well and working out to earn a fat payoff for the area charity of their choice. The teams that lose the greatest percentages of their starting weights earn the bulk of the prize money for their designated nonprofit agencies.
In 2010, a record 75 teams - that's 375 players - lost a combined 81,121 pounds, an average 6.9 percent loss a person. And they raised nearly $22,000 for area nonprofits.
''The Fitness Challenge is a fantastic opportunity to impact positive change on several levels,'' Tina Creighton of co-sponsor Humility of Mary Health Partners' St. Elizabeth and St. Joseph Health Centers said.
''The hard work of the teams to improve their lives helps the charities of their choice improves the lives of many others. It's a win-win or maybe lose / win-win,'' she said.
Teams weigh in weekly and team standings will be published every Tuesday in the Tribune Chronicle. St. Joseph and St. Elizabeth will provide weekly tips from the doctors and dietitians. Other co-sponsors will pop up with additional prizes and incentives.
While no diet or workout plan in particular is endorsed, we strictly insist that they must be healthy. If we catch anybody on a starvation diet, the rest of us will force-feed that person biscuits and gravy until the sausage leaks out that person's ears.
Scott MacMillan, director of operations of the The Mayor Ralph A. Infante Wellness Center in Niles, one of the official weigh-in sites, said, ''Unfortunately, we are part of a high-stress, stationary culture that needs to expose theirselves to more activity and community interaction.
''Through promotions of programs like the Challenge, our community grows healthier and has a more positive outlook on selves and others.''
The Fitness Challenge debuted in 2002 when Trumbull County probation officer and pastor Vince Peterson and friends each tossed 50 bucks into a pot and said the guy who could lose the most won the cash. That gave them competition, accountability to each other, an incentive - and fun harassing each other.
''I thought something like this would be great if it could be done on a larger scale,'' Peterson said. ''After having been a former football player under coach (Jim) Tressel and learning the concept of giving back to the community from him and my parents, I thought it would be great if the monies raised would go to charities.''
Peterson brought his idea to the Tribune Chronicle, and the rest is 10 years of history.
Vinnie P. not only has been a founder, but also a yearly participant.
''I gained 10 pounds over the holidays. Hey, but there is a bright side. It could have been 20 if not for my son being home from Villanova (where he plays defensive back on the football team). He ate everything that was not nailed down - 14 pieces of toast at a time, or eight waffles and eight sausage patties alone with a bucket of milk.
''I'm trying to get him to take several months off from school during the Fitness Challenge. There will be nothing in the house to eat, therefore, I will lose weight,'' Peterson said.
''Anyway, I'm in it to win it. My wife has already started her own thing and doesn't want to be on my team. My daughter is in great shape and doesn't need the Fitness Challenge. I might recruit my dad. So get ready. I'm baaaa-aaack and bigger than ever! But not for long!''
Grab four of your buddies and step up to the dinner plate - I mean, step away from the dinner plate - and sign up for the 2011 Fitness Challenge.
On a more serious side, studies have linked a sedentary lifestyle and too many pounds to all kinds of life-shortening diseases and conditions, from diabetes to high blood pressure to sleep apnea to some forms of cancer.
Experts say about three months of practicing a something can be enough to form a habit. For 10 weeks, beginning with the Feb. 10 initial weigh-in, the Fitness Challenge offers a mixture of accountability and silliness with the chance to establish better habits.
Creighton said, ''As the teams embark on their quest, a reminder that resolving to lose weight is a journey, and just like any journey, there will be bumps and detours. It's important to keep your eye on the destination and remember even small changes can move you forward on your way to your goal.''
So c'mon, skinny, let's get Challenged.

We have a pdf of our hangar, and want to plan aircraft positioning using a scale of each aircraft. I have the individual files for each of the 12 aircraft types in .ai, .dwg, .dxf, .eps, .pdf and .svg. They are all drawn to scale.
I have a .pdf of the hangar floor from an architect. I need a layered file, which allows me to move the aircraft around on the plan, but it must be to scale.
There are two aircraft on the design plan already, which also need to be removed.
Full file set will be sent to successful applicant.

The FOIA, Title 5, United States Code, Section 552, was signed into law on July 4, 1966, by President Lyndon Johnson. Since then, the FOIA has been amended in 1974, 1986, and, most recently, with the enactment of the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996 (E-FOIA). The U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) implements the FOIA pursuant to regulation in 10 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1004 (10 CFR, Part 1004). The FOIA establishes the premise that people should have access to government information, and it is the responsibility of the government to justify why records should not be disclosed. This page provides information about how to obtain records/information.
The Act applies to records created and maintained by agencies in the executive branch of the federal government including the Executive Office of the President, such as the DOE, and as part of the DOE, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). The FOIA does not apply to Congress, the judicial branch of the federal government, or to state or local governments. Many state governments have enacted open records laws. The attorney general of a state could provide information about that state's laws upon request.
The FOIA and E-FOIA require that certain agency records, such as descriptions of agency organization and office addresses, statements of agency operations, rules of procedures, general policy statements, final opinions made in the adjudication of cases, and administrative staff manuals that affect the public, be made available for inspection and copying regardless of the format. These records and many other agency records, in the spirit of openness, are available to the public in the public reading facilities (See Public Reading Facilities Page).
All other agency records may be requested by submitting a FOIA request. Pursuant to the FOIA, agencies generally provide records - not information - when responding to FOIA requests. This means that agencies are not required to create a record or answer questions when responding to FOIA requests.
Even though the FOIA is primarily a disclosure law, not all records requested are automatically released. The FOIA has provided nine exemptions which allow certain information that may be contained in records or the entire record to be withheld from public disclosure. The exemptions apply to records that are:
Reasonably nonexempt information will be released unless it is inextricably intertwined with exempt material. Agencies are encouraged to make discretionary releases of information in cases in which no foreseeable harm from the release of the information can be determined.
Requests for classified records, including requests for mandatory declassification review pursuant to Executive Order 12958, will automatically be considered a FOIA request. The DOE Director of the Office of Classified & Controlled Information Review in Washington, D.C., will be responsible for the final release determination of any classified records identified as responsive to FOIA requests.
Generally, you have a right to a decision as to whether the requested records will be provided within 20 working days of receipt of your request. However, under certain circumstances, some requests may take longer to complete. If we determine we will need additional time to complete your request, we will notify you as appropriate.
If we initially deny your request in whole or in part or if we were unable to locate records, we will advise you of your right to appeal our determination as well as the judicial remedies available to you. Address your appeal to the Office of Hearings and Appeals in Washington, D.C., at the address provided in our determination letter to you.

Berkeley County citizens will soon have access to a 50-mile trail system and parks within the private development near the Interstate 26 and 17-A interchange.
The 4,500-acre master plan community Nexton recently broke ground. The developer is forestry giant MeadWestvaco. During the July 28 Berkeley County Council meeting, council unanimously approved a resolution stating it will reimburse MeadWestvaco for any expenses currently made in the development of public parks.
County Council is currently working on creating the Nexton Improvement District where an extra tax in the district will also help fund public parks. Third reading is expected during the Aug. 11 meeting.
The July 28 resolution allows council to reimburse MeadWestvaco for any expenses related to the parks system. The money will come from the bond proceeds created by the improvement district. Bond proceeds are borrowed against the property.
According to MeadWestvaco officials, the parks system could eventually have a nonprofit running it. The parks system will not include home owners association parks or community amenities.

Dec. 2006 / Jan. 2007 | David de Graaf joined Pfizer in March 2005 to spearhead efforts to understand and judiciously spread systems biology (SB) throughout the world's largest pharmaceutical company. Working from Pfizer's Research Technology Center (RTC) in Cambridge, Mass., (see "Pfizer's Pursuit of Technology," Bio-IT World, April 2006, pp.26-30) de Graaf reports enthusiastic support from top management while promising results from showcase projects have stirred demand beyond his expectations. He spoke with Bio-IT World's executive editor John Russell about Pfizer's growing comfort with systems biology.
JR: Give us a retrospective on the past year as Pfizer's first director of systems biology. What remains to be done?de Graaf: The past year has been a bit of a whirlwind. I came on board in March 2005, and we reached eight people by the end of the year, so we've only been staffed at the initially appropriate levels since the beginning of this year.
We decided we needed to make clear what the RTC could contribute, what our unique niche was. Very quickly we decided that where we wanted to work was in quantitative measurements on biological systems, rather than, for example, on global 'omics measurements which are often not quantitative. We decided we would work on modeling approaches that were able to simulate biological systems, so these were not inferential models, but forward-simulating models. That limits us somewhat in terms of the biological space we can work in because generally we need to be in areas that are relatively knowledge-rich.
We picked three projects, one that dealt with enlarged signal transduction pathways playing to the strengths of the RTC in terms of being a central focus for kinases [at Pfizer]. We picked one project focused on a new development area for the company, which is moving into biologics, and where we wanted to understand some of the pharmacokinetics of biologics in order to differentiate them from competitor products. [The third] project took a large global look at hepatic-toxicity, trying to optimize both our predictive ability, as well as the number of assays that we ran in order to get to a particular outcome. The ultimate goal there was front-loading hepatic-toxicity [determination] early rather than where we're catching it right now. We've done [all of] this in partnership with Doug Lauffenburger at MIT and Peter Sorger at Harvard Medical School.
JR: How are the projects progressing?de Graaf: Out of those three projects, we have delivered on the biologics project. We have been able to help steer that program in a slightly different direction than where they thought they were going, and given them some alternatives to a strategy they were considering. That has been impactful. We are now looking at broader opportunities to interact with the biologics portfolio. One of the interesting things, of course, is that biologics come with a couple things. There's much less pre-candidate research that needs to be done. It's usually about picking the right target in the right context. And making the definitive agent is not the difficult thing; it's really scaling that up. That's exactly the space where we're helping out. It is understanding potential efficacy and safety issues, and also PK issues.
Then there are early glimpses around hepatic injury. We have made significant strides predicting liver tox for compounds that fell into a class that previously nobody was able to predict. So these are DILI2-type compounds — drug-induced liver injury. DILI2 compounds are essentially compounds that previously fell through the cracks as they went through internal safety screening — not only at Pfizer, but across the industry — and ended up causing liver damage in patients.
JR: Bruce Gomes (head of modeling in de Graaf's group) said the projects had really excited interest inside Pfizer. de Graaf: Correct. We are starting to see more and more people come to us and say, 'Gee, we want to do more of this. Can you do this in a different area of tox? Can we apply this in selecting better candidates in this particular targeting family?' I must say, [this is] one of my very pleasant surprises over the last year. We, as a group of eight, are way overstretched, and that's good. We know that there's a lot of interest and buy-in across the company for these types of approaches.
One of the problems, because we are still relatively small, has been influencing effectively in such a large organization. So although we see major interest, it's still very spotty, and I know that we haven't covered the Pfizer universe. That's one of the challenges for the year to come: How do you now spread the word effectively and make sure that we cross systems biology across the company to be appropriate for those levels of interest?
JR: How do you raise awareness?de Graaf: If I had an answer, I would be much better off than I am. The practical tactic we're taking, which may not be optimal but is what we're doing, is to do a little bit of everything. I encourage my team to publish. This is one of the reasons for having this very open collaboration with MIT, because there's nothing like peer-reviewed publications to communicate success within the organization. The other thing — rather than to wait for systems biology to deliver and then [articulate a] strategy — is to say, what are the potential strategic benefits now? How could you apply systems biology across a broad portfolio? Rather than try to bite off everything, we've decided to, at least in the first order, focus on biologics, and in the second order, definitely other projects as well.
JR: What kinds of researchers get excited by systems biology approaches? Do they share certain attitudes?de Graaf: Yes, and I think this may also explain some of the receptive environment we're seeing at Pfizer, and to some degree across the industry. There's a general feeling we need to do things differently, that we can't squeeze out more by just doing twice as much work. So everybody knows there are going to be real changes in how we do science. Nobody knows what those changes look like. Some people are more receptive to that idea than others.
There are people who will hunker down and do twice as much work. There are other people who want to do the same amount of work that just want to do it more smartly ... who look at systems biology as a possibility. Just like in any organization, you have the traditionalists within Pfizer, and you have people who are going to push the envelope and look at doing things differently. That level of bravery is often restricted to people at the bench. One of the great things about Pfizer is that we've seen that senior management is willing to really consider doing things differently, and that has been a great boon for me, and a great support.
JR: Do you have milestones you're looking to reach in the coming year?de Graaf: I do. The projects that we've initiated need to fully deliver. We need to go beyond glimpses of hope, clearly. But I have lots of confidence that will happen. My goal for this coming year is not to do systems biology for Pfizer, but to teach systems biology to Pfizer. That's a dangerous thing to say because lots of these people have been taught lots of things and they're very well educated. We are talking not about owning systems biology for the company, but trying to implement the process in different places where appropriate.
One of the roles that I see growing for my group at the RTC is where we work more closely together with project teams that own more of the problem. In the first iteration, a lot of the scientific problem definition was by my group at the RTC. We will really start to bring people on board with the integrated approach rather than having some people in informatics sitting off in some corner, somebody doing some modeling and mathematics in clinical, and somebody in a proteomics group measuring something. Get all of those people together in one place and start to provide an integrated capability throughout the company in appropriate areas.
JR: Will you use other systems biology vendors?de Graaf: Absolutely. One of the nice things about Pfizer is, because of its scale, we have engaged a lot of people in this space. So whether it is BG Medicine or Genstruct or Entelos, or whether it is a company like GNS; all of those companies have been engaged, and sometimes we've done projects with them. One of the nice things about systems biology is that, as a process, the tools that these companies provide fit into very particular niches and spaces. We're not here to say, 'Oh, we're working with Genstruct or we're working with Entelos, we've solved all our problems, we're done with systems biology.' Actually we want the companies in this space to keep exploring and innovating and moving, and we want to stay close to them and move with them to implement some of their technologies across our portfolio.
JR: When you encounter a roadblock in terms of your work, who do you call among your peers in the industry?de Graaf: Well, it's interesting. With the political roadblocks within the organization, my line management has been incredibly supportive. I couldn't ask for a more supportive set of bosses. And that goes up all the way throughout the chain. So that part, luckily, I can deal with internally. When it comes to technical problems, there are a few people I stay close to. Carolyn Cho and I talk on a fairly regular basis. Carolyn is at Novartis (head of computational systems biology). And this ends up being useful, whether it's around hiring or a particular technology or particular company, and we've actually looked at opportunities to explicitly work together.
Everybody keeps running into the same toxicity and we can't solve it. Actually putting our heads together and, more importantly, putting our data together may be something that's worthwhile; we're exploring that together with the folks at Science Commons right now, (see "The Advantage of a Drug Safety Commons," Bio-IT World, October 2006, p. 16) as well as the folks at Teranode. I also speak to my old boss at AstraZeneca, Dr. Adriano Henney (director of pathways capability), and to Dave Cook (associate director), who I was very close to there as well. Anything that comes up in text mining or informatics or data mining, I tend to speak to William Hayes (see "Search and Deploy," Bio-IT World, October 2006, pp24-33) at Biogen Idec, who used to be on my team at AstraZeneca. These are all outstanding people. There are some people who are more on my periphery. And a small company that we love to work with is Numerica Technologies. They helped us out — this is an MIT spin-off — with some very specific issues around large ODE models and how you interpret those.

To the Editor.—Yochanan Weiss, MD (Arch Surg 106:735, 1973) is perfectly right that the needle holder can be used with great dexterity without putting one's fingers through the rings. What he probably does not appreciate is that there is already a very large number of American surgeons who have adopted this technique. Most of these men trained at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor when Dr. Frederick A. Coller was a professor of surgery. All young residents were taught by the older residents that it was faster to use the needle holder without putting one's fingers through the rings. After all, this was the way the director (Dr. Coller) did it.
After my first year in training at Ann Arbor, I was telling my father, who was a dear friend of Dr. Coller, about this technique, and he personally got a big laugh out of it, because he

TUCSON, Ariz. - The shot fell, the band played and the postgame events unfolded, as per the custom. Fran Dunphy was still in his locker room, accepting congratulations and interview requests, as Ed DeChellis made his way through an arena corridor and toward a team bus.
Temple guard Juan Fernandez' last-second shot was good and Dunphy was the victor, 66-64. He was the victor after losing an impossible 11 straight NCAA Tournament games in his last 16 years at Penn and Temple. DeChellis was the loser, his Penn State team eliminated in a murderous blink. He carried the glazed look of an accident victim as he made his way out of McKale Center. It is a look that this tournament should trademark.

maybe you should reach your goal with some mod_rewrite tricks. The
points mentioned at http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#vhosts
are still valid, only one vhost per ip. You could give mod_rewrite a
try to push clients to different directories which are configured for
secure and public ssl access.
Try something like this:
ServerName www.vhost1.com
ServerAlias www.vhost2.com
SSLEngine on
SSLVerifyClient none
SSLCACertificateFile conf/ssl.crt/ca.crt
SSLVerifyClient require
SSLVerifyDepth 1
RewriteEngine on
#RewriteLogLevel 7
#RewriteLog logs/RewriteLog
#RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME}
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.vhost1.com
RewriteRule ^(/index.htm)|(/)|()$ /ssl/securedir [R,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.vhost2.com
RewriteRule ^(/index.htm)|(/)|()$ /ssl/public [R,L]
This would just be a starting switch, modify the regexp to push all
desired content into the matching secure location (see
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_howto.html#ToC6). I personally did
not try this, but if this does not work maybe mod_setenvif can be used
to distinguish the different names.
