Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Biotech posted its strongest monthly and quarterly performance in several years in what was hailed as the most robust September rally for equities in more than 70 years. The Burrill Biotech Select Index gained 7.8% in the month and 13% in the third quarter. The significant rise of share values was fueled by an easing of investor concerns about a double-dip recession as well as hopes for a better economic outlook. Biotech is now up 6% year-to-date and is well positioned for a strong fourth quarter.
There will be a significant number of news stories to keep investors engaged in the biotech industry for the rest of year. Already we have seen research into stem cells enter the legal arena once again. Fortunately for the industry, federal funding for embryonic stem cell research will be allowed to continue while the federal government appeals a lower court injunction that would ban such financing.
The recent ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington overturns U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth's August ruling that all funding should be suspended while its legality is challenged in the courts.
In M&A land, the resolution of Sanofi-Aventis' bid to acquire Genzyme will continue to unfold after its first offer, valued at $18 billion, was rejected. The fall will also be a very busy time for U.S. drug approvals with over 20 marketing applications to be decided before year's end by FDA regulators.
IPO activity across all sectors also picked up in the quarter, but in order to attract investors and get deals done, companies had to be willing to trim their price expectations even in the wake of the strengthening equity markets.
Three biotech companies amended their prices to go public in the third quarter. Antibiotic developer Trius Therapeutics slashed its expected share price by 62% to complete its offering selling 10 million shares at $5 per share. Specialty pharmaceutical company NuPathe raised $50 million after trimming its offering price to $10 from its original $14 to $16 range. Amyris Biotechnologies, which uses genetically modified yeast to make products for the specialty chemical/fuel markets, raised $85 million by offering 5.3 million shares at $16, below the range of $18–$20. However, its post-IPO trading was positive with the company's shares up 7.8% at the close of September.
Year-to-date there have been eleven biotech IPOs, three in the third quarter, and their average market performance as of the end of September was down 24%.
Investors have warmed to biofuel companies this year. The Burrill BioGreentech Index, which includes several firms that are developing alcohol from biomass, is up a healthy 15% in the third quarter. Interest in biofuels has also encouraged two alternative fuel and chemical companies to add themselves to the IPO runway: PetroAlgae, which produces biocrude from duckweed and hopes to raise $200 million, and Colorado-based Gevo, which is commercializing bio-based alternatives to petroleum-based products using a combination of synthetic biology and chemical technology to produce isobutanol that can then be converted into a variety of plastics and fuels.

Guys' trip plays out over course of season
Fox Broadcasting is buddying up to scribe Dave Reynolds, ordering a premium script about four guys on an extended road trip.
Hourlong buddy comedy is said to be a cross between "The Hangover" and a male "Sex and the City." The guys' road trip plays out over the course of a season, as they confront personal issues — including how to handle their wives and girlfriends back home.
20th Century Fox TV is behind the show, along with Generate, which has a deal at the studio. Untitled project reps a collaboration between Generate's production and management (where Reynolds is repped) divisions.
Reynolds is set to exec produce, along with Generate's Jordan Levin, Pete Aronson and Jared Hoffman.

Damn, she's huge!" said one guy. "Earthquake!" muttered another. As Ali Schmidt made her way down the hall on her first day at Stratford High School in Connecticut, a third provided the sound effects: "Blub, blub!"
"Going to a new school is hard enough," says Schmidt, 15. "But as a 230-lb. girl it's that much harder. Plus, I'd never been a 230-lb. girl before."
When she woke up on Sept. 25, Schmidt was her usual 129 lbs. A 5'7" athlete who played field hockey and softball at her private school in New York City, she was used to being among the fittest girls in any crowd. Now wearing a fat suit and latex makeup, she would be among the heaviest. Schmidt agreed to wear the disguise for Fat Like Me: How to Win the Weight War, an ABC News special about childhood obesity airing Oct. 27, and with tiny cameras hidden in her backpack and glasses, to record the reactions of her new peers.
Fat Like Me producer Jessica Stedman Guff, a friend of Schmidt's mother, Wendy, a private investigator, tapped Ali for the job. Guff, 43, had watched behind-the-scenes footage on the Shallow Hal DVD and heard Gwyneth Paltrow relate how poorly she was treated when she ventured off the set in her fat suit. Says Guff: "I thought, 'Fat people are fair game—it's the last socially acceptable form of discrimination.' " She contacted Shallow Hal makeup artist Tony Gardner, who took on the project to chronicle the way society treats the overweight.
Wearing her new look to school, says Schmidt, "I told myself it was just a costume, but I felt miserable." If the boys were rude to her face, the girls were, by their silence, just as bad. In biology class her two lab partners, says Schmidt, "didn't make eye contact more than once." When another girl did talk to her, a third girl avoided them both because, she later told PEOPLE, "I didn't want to put myself in the position of having to talk to Ali."
"Every second," Ali says, "I wanted to take off the suit and say, 'Ha ha! I got you!' I'd think how I'd come back the next day as myself, and they'd be the ones who looked like idiots."
The next morning she got her wish. "This is Ali," said the biology teacher (who, like all the staff, was in on the setup), introducing a slim girl no one recognized. "She was here yesterday." The reaction: gasps all around.
Many students were contrite. Others, like one 16-year-old boy who laughed when Schmidt knocked over a tray in the cafeteria, were not. "Her butt was so big," he says. "It was funny."

The "Duke" of Bucks County has won a court case over the use of his nickname for reelection.
A judge has dismissed Tom Lingenfelter's challenge of Bucks County Sheriff Edward "Duke" Donnelly.
The men are competing for the Republican nomination.
Lingenfelter says the Donnelly's usage of that nickname violates the state constitution.
He says it prohibits titles of nobility.
The judge didn't agree.
Donnelly's lawyer argued that dropping "Duke" would cause confusion for voters who already know Donnelly by that nickname from past elections.
Lingenfelter has yet to return our calls seeking comment.

GS 430 is amazing...
by Carguy from NC | July 12, 2013
I was shopping for a used Japanese RWD sedan. I almost bought a beautiful Infinity G35, but the wife nixed the fantastic manual tranny and clients would not have appreciated the jerky ride, soooooo, I found a GS 430 cheap. Different car, different mission-. While the G35 is sportier (and louder, and smaller and less comfortable), this Lexus is just SMOOTH, quiet and POWERFUL. The G35 is like a cornerback, this thing is like a big fast linebacker! Effortless and graceful brute force with unusually good looks for a Lexus and people respect this thing in traffic, let me tell you. My wife's MDX seems underpowered now. I loved how the G35 would scream putting out its power, this thing just roars like a lion under the hood when you ask for all 325 ft/lbs of torque and 300 HP. The interior is a little too Toyota in the stalk controls, it should have a backup camera, bump shifter and automatic wipers, but none of that matters when I push the "lookout people!" pedal. The stroke is shorter than the bore, making this v8 rock. The interior is exquisite and the seats are awesome. Leg room and head room galore was well as top notch materials (besides the stalk controls). This thing is just class.

BMW Dealership South Orlando

I purchased my car through BMW South Dealership on OBT. It was one of the best experiences. The salesperson was very knowledgeable, always ready to answer all my questions, returned my phone calls right away. I felt very confident that I was getting exactly what I wanted and they checked the car one more time for me to make sure everything was in order. The qualification process was also very easy and fast. I am very satisfied with my new car!

by Teepee from Buffalo, NY | November 6, 2011
The descriptions are spot-on for this vehicle, 2004 GS 430. I just sold my 2000 ES300 with no issues. Wasn't really looking to sell and buy until I took her for a test drive. I was never so happy to have a buyer for my ES. She's quiet, smooth, and strong ~ unreal jump from the ES. I am a very happy driver and plan on sticking with GS's in the future. What's up with Nakamichi and Levinson (both cars get a 1 for 5 on audio for a semi-blown sparkly subwoofer - noticeable when I crank the tunes) ~ guess I should try another brand.

Imagine this: A government leader gets word that someone in his organization is accused of grossly harassing women in his office and that the incident may become public. The leader secretly arranges to compensate the victims using taxpayer dollars and, when the clandestine arrangement becomes known, he says the secrecy was meant to protect the victims' privacy.
Later, an investigator reports that the women, in fact, never asked for confidentiality and that the $103,000 in payments were clearly meant to hush up a scandal that could prove embarrassing and, further, that the leader showed little interest in disciplining the offending individual or in protecting other women from that person's unwanted and shocking advances.
Question: Did the leader violate a standard of conduct that requires his resignation? Answer: Yes. Should it matter that the leader is the speaker of the New York State Assembly? No, it should not. Sheldon Silver should go.
The report issued this week – actually, there were two of them – criticized Silver's handling of the mess created by Assemblyman Vito Lopez, who told women staff members to wear sexy clothing to the office, asked them to stay with him in hotel rooms, made regular comments about their bodies and even groped them. Those who resisted could be threatened with job loss and public berating.
According to special prosecutor Daniel Donovan, when the women complained about Lopez to the Assembly leadership, including Silver, the response was more about protecting the Assembly and one of its senior members – the 71-year-old Lopez was also chairman of the Brooklyn Democratic Party – rather than to deal with the reprehensible conduct the women described.
Indeed, Donovan – a Republican who is also the Staten Island district attorney – noted that the goal of limiting damage to the Assembly "outweighed any interest in investigating or disciplining Assembly Member Lopez or in preventing similar occurrences in the future."
What is more, he said, Lopez was still harassing at least one other female aide while Silver and his team were maneuvering to resolve the issue without the public knowing about it. The internal handling of the affair encouraged Lopez "to continue the inappropriate conduct," Donovan said.
Thus, not only did Silver and his leaders move to protect Lopez, they left other women at risk and purposely misled the public on the reasons for secretly picking taxpayers' pockets. It's wrong every way you look at it.
While both Donovan's report and one from the Joint Commission on Public Ethics concluded that no laws were broken, it is not unreasonable to believe that Silver's approach to this matter describes a mindset that leads others in the Legislature to believe that their positions entitle them to commit whatever abuses their hearts desire – or, at least, that their leadership will turn a blind eye to it.
Corruption in Albany is a perpetual motion machine.
Albany needs to change and, plainly, that requires a change at the top. It may be difficult for another Assembly Speaker to reform a miserable political culture that values dishonesty, but it is clear that Silver cannot. He should step aside.

Bryan Fischer Hails Ann Coulter For Getting "Right In The Grill" of GOProud
Last week we noted that, just days before she was scheduled to headline GOProud's "Homocon 2010," Ann Coulter dedicated her most recent column to praising Ronald Reagan for fighting any "government endorsement of homosexuality."
And, amazing, the theme that gay rights have no place in the conservative movement is a theme that Coulter continued to drill home when she delivered her remarks to GOProud:
Ann Coulter doesn't mince words. And even when speaking to a gay conservative organization, GOProud, at their inaugural Homocon party on Saturday night, she apparently wasn't willing to start.
After a series of jokes about conservative that sounded -- and were received -- more like a stand-up act then a political speech, Coulter told the assembled (and predominantly wealthy) conservative gay crowd why they should oppose same sex marriage, adding, "I should warn you: I've never failed to talk gays out of gay marriage."
And then she did.
First, she ran down the stereotypical stand-up comedian's list of reasons, including that lacking the legal right to marriage allows the less-committed partner to weasel out of it. But in a more serious note, she parroted the losing arguments of the lawyers supporting California's Prop 8 and told the crowd that the reason she opposes (and they should oppose) same sex marriage is that it is strictly for procreation.
In one of a series of racially insensitive remarks that pervaded her speech, Coulter added, "Marriage is not a civil right. You're not black." It was part of a larger argument on which she later elaborated, telling the crowd that the 14th Amendment only applies to African-Americans and that it does not, in fact, apply to women, LGBT people or other minorities.
Despite the laugh lines, Coulter's arguments against same sex marriage were not well-received by much of the crowd: for instance, the question and answer session after the speech was dominated by Homocon attendees grilling her on her position on a range of issues, including whether opposition to same sex marriage was really in line with the conservative principles of limited government and whether she personally believes that homosexuality is a choice -- a question she declined to answer.
Now, you may wonder why anyone would pay good money to attend an event where the keynote speaker would insult them to their faces, but GOProud stands by its decision because, as GOProud's Christopher Barron put it: "We're the only gay group that had the balls to have someone like Ann Coulter come speak to them."
You know, if GOProud wants to prove just how tough they are, maybe they should invite Bryan Fischer to headline "Homocon 2011" because he really really hates gays.
In fact, Fischer initially blasted Ann Coulter as a traitor for even agreeing to speak to GOProud, but now that she went and openly insulted all those in attendance, Fischer admits that he was completely wrong about her:
Ann took them straight on and gave them some straight talk I doubt they were ready for. There is no amount of sugar that will help this medicine go down ... This from the keynote speaker at HomoCon, who got at least five figures to get right in the grill of her hosts.
Anybody at HomoCon want their money back?
And Ann, all is forgiven. Humble pie has never tasted so sweet. You are no longer the "Joan of Arc of homosexuality," as I described you last month, you are now Daniella of the Lion's Den. Good on ya, lass.
GOProud can try to spin this debacle all it wants, but the fact that Ann Coulter has become a hero to Bryan Fischer because of the speech she delivered at Homocon 2010 pretty much tells you all you need to know.

Exclusive: 'Tim's Vermeer' poster finds genius between the brushstrokes
When I idly caught Teller's documentary "Tim's Vermeer" at Telluride back in August, it was an instant sensation. I adored its vision of art as ingenuity and the profound places it went. The film's subject, Tim Jenison, received one of the most enthusiastic standing ovations I've ever seen at Telluride, and the film, thankfully, made the cut with the Academy's list of documentary feature finalists earlier this week.
"Tim's Vermeer" is "mostly an awe-inspiring curiosity," I wrote from Telluride. "But it ends up dipping into the profound. What is art if not the height of ingenuity? If Vermeer and certain contemporaries used methods asserted by the Hockney-Falco thesis, is that 'cheating?' Or is it as majestic a note on the human spirit as something born purely of imagination?"
Sony Pictures Classics has provided us with the film's quirky poster for an exclusive premiere today. Check it out below.
"Tim's Vermeer" opens in limited release on Friday.

With her partially shaved head, eclectic style and on again-off again affair with Monaco's Pierre Casiraghi this won't be the last we hear of her. Hopefully she'll be causing drama of Lohan proportions all week!

I love how it wrapped her curves and her messy hair goes along with her model-rock'n'roll lifestyle. It's beautiful with an edge just like her. She was there with her 32-year-old boyfriend, Mark Ronson, who won the Alfred Dunhill Maverick award. They are definitely London's It-Couple right now. It'll be interesting to see whether they show up in New York in the next few days for Fashion Week!

Neautrogena Wave
I was pretty excited to come home late last night and trip over a tiny UPS box placed inconveniently on my dark back porch. Well, okay once I got inside and saw that I wasn't terribly bruised I was concerned that I had sleep-shopped online and used my credit card without remembering it again. But then I opened the box and found out that someone at Neutrogena is a fan of Bostonista and sent me the Wave!
I had been wanting to try out the Wave for a while so I used it right away and tried it again today. But I have a prescription face wash so I'm always weary of trying new things on my face. But my dermatologist says that its a good idea to switch it up every once in a while so that it remains effective like with shampoo.
The Pros:
-The soap on the pads smell absolutely amazing.
-The vibrating sensation feels wonderful.
-It's fun and really simple. I did not feel like washing my face last night because for me its a whole process that takes forever. I just wanted to collapse. But I snapped on the foaming pad, turned on the wave and rubbed it over my face all that dirt, makeup and grime from the day was gone in no time at all.
-My skin was incredibly soft and smooth afterwards. It also continued to be tingly long after I was done using it.
-It's (obviously)waterproof which means you can use it in the shower.
The Cons:
-You really shouldn't use it two days in a row. Yes, my skin is now incredibly soft but the formula of the cleansing pads is very drying. Using them every day would over exfoliate your skin and leave it a dry mess.
-The pads aren't reusable which means a lot of waste washing your face with a regular cleanser wouldn't create and it would be expensive to keep buying the refills. The Wave comes with 14 pads and since it's recommended for daily use that means it's only two-weeks worth. At CVS the box of refills is $7.99 for a box of 30 cleansing pads.
-The pads aren't individually wrapped so as soon as you open the package you need to put it in a Ziploc bag so that they won't dry out before you even use them.
I think this is a great product when used as a supplement in addition to your usual skin care routine. So my final thought is that if you use it twice a week your skin will be super smooth and won't dry out. Plus, it'll be cheaper in the long run. I definitely recommend checking it out.
Thanks so much to Neutrogena for sending me The Wave!

Irreverence is Style
You've probably noticed my icon before but if not it's a Chloe Sevigny wearing a Chloe cat mask:
But since I've been looking at this icon every day for almost six months it's started to seep into my mind. And I'm now officially obsessed with girls in masks and pissed off that I can't walk around in a mask all day, every day.
I just think they're glamorous!
See what I mean? Yes, they're mysterious and sexy but mostly I think they're just fun! The world is in a very serious place right now and fashion has mostly been reflecting that. I just want to have fun and these fashionable masks allow for escapism and fantasy just as fashion should! But I think for a night out we could make a cat mask work, couldn't we girls?
If you love the Chloe mask you should check out this one...
It looks remarkably similar and since it's mass produced I'm sure it's easy to find on other sites and at costume stores. Plus, it's less than $10! Lets make this photo shoot trend into a real world trend!

MK's mad for plaid...are we?
MK is creating her own grungy style by stealing old ideas from the early 90s and mixing it with her favorite contemporary pieces. A lot of people are screaming that she is the worst ever for even daring to wear a flannel shirt wrapped around her waist because she is "so obviously the complete opposite of what grunge stood for!" I think it's just comfortable and cute. And her obsessions never last that long anyway. I can understand the appeal I mean when I was 9 I thought Angela Chase was the epitome of style.
Totally obsessed with these shoes btw. If you know who they're by and where I can get a similar pair at a significantly lower price point that MK's that would be awesome!
I think it has more to do with finding a modern comfortable style than it does with trying to be "grunge" on MK's part. I also think, as I was saying, that her style obsessions are intense and whole hearted but fairly quick. In six months she'll be on to something down a completely path. But that's part of why I find her so inspiring-she evolves and yet is still always herself.
MK loves plaid so much that a few months ago she hosted a birthday party for her friend with a plaid theme. Yep, all the guests were wearing plaid and I bet there was even a plaid cake.
I'm also obsessed with MK's Alice-in-Wonderland-esque hair band-bow-thing!

Gemma Ward is NOT retiring from modeling!
Gemma Ward has been my favorite super model since she was a 15 year old with a Prada exclusive. Five years on she's filmed movies (The Strangers, The Black Balloon) and has graced endless covers and runways. She's been modeling less as of late to focus on her acting so when rumors popped up a few days ago on the web that she was announcing her retirement it was sad but not exactly a surprise.
We worried for nothing! IMG confirms that Gemma is a on a vacation and won't be walking for the Spring 09 season next month but she is NOT retiring from modeling!
Gemma made this statement:
"I was surprised to wake up this morning and read news of my own retirement. While I am taking some time off currently to rest and enjoy the company of friends and family, I am still very much a (excited and enthusiastic) working model and actress. I'm only 20, for God's sakes."
Have fun with acting Gemma but come back to fashion soon! We desperately miss you!

My Nina Garcia Obsession Continues..
Have you been watching Project Runway? I'll be honest...I haven't been. I know, I know! But I always forget when it's on! Of course Bravo's lack of promotion for this season hasn't helped my memory. But more on that later! Lucky for Bravo my cable company inexplicably changed all of the channels today so I came across the usual Project Runway marathon and caught up on this season. I hate the woman obsessed with leather and being "rock n roll" (I'm also pretty sure that trying really hard to be "rock n roll" is the complete opposite of actually BEING "rock n roll" but whatever...) and I have a weird affection for Suede and Jarrell.
But back to the lovely Nina Garcia. Now, my regular readers and people who have been following the fashion blogs know that Nina had a less than graceful exit from Elle magazine a few months ago amidst tons of rumors and controversy. But when Project Runway debuted a few weeks ago Nina Garcia was referred to as "Editor-At-Large" of Elle Magazine.
But...wait! She's definitely not at Elle magazine! In fact, the first Nina Garcia approved issue of Marie Claire is on newsstands and it's fabulous! So what is going on?!
Well, you can take this mystery and add to it Bravo's refusal to really promote this season to get the answer to this fashion equation.
According to an August 18th article by New York Magazine Elle had been trying to find a way to get rid of Nina for a year or so after some major changes and ego clashes. But Nina brought in ad revenue because of her Project Runway celebrity and the show had turned Elle back into a best selling magazine second only to Vogue. Elle's contract with the show lasted only until the fifth season which back in March was rapidly approaching. The show has such high ratings and pull that they knew they would not be the only magazine trying to score the sponsorship and they didn't want to pony up the money. Over the past year and a half Elle has significantly cut it's budget despite having some of it's highest revenues in years. When Project Runway announced it was suddenly, and unexpectedly, moving from Bravo to Lifetime for the sixth season and beyond a lot of drama was stirred up. Bravo stopped promoting the fifth season of Project Runway and began court proceedings for breach of contract. Elle didn't want to be involved ,especially since they're premiering their own reality show, Stylista, with Nina's rival, the skeletal Anne Slowey, on the CW in September.
So they killed two birds with one stone.
They know they already have the TV presence with Stylista so they no longer needed Nina or Project Runway.
Her office was cleared out by assistants in one afternoon and Elle didn't have to shell out money for additional seasons of sponsoring what may be a declining Project Runway.
But wait! Stylista doesn't premier until September and the winner of the fifth season of PR is still guaranteed a spread in Elle magazine. So compromises were made...and suddenly Nina was an editor-at-large for Elle magazine for TV purposes.
When Marie Claire, a great but not necessarily high fashion, women's magazine courted Nina part of the conditions of her being hired was the magazine sponsorship of Project Runway starting with Season Six for at least four seasons. It meant money but I think it's a very good deal for Marie Claire. They get an amazing fashion editor to spruce up a department of their magazine that was bland and lacking plus they'll get amazing ad revenue based on her name and readership will go up based on Project Runway if Elle is any indication.
Nina's first issue for the magazine is on newsstands and the fashion editorials are divine. She brings a lot of experience, contacts, and artistry with her.
Here are some looks from my favorite editorial...

Brody Sutter nets pair as Checkers win in OT
|Game 1 (OT)
Brody Sutter's second goal of the game gave the Charlotte Checkers a 4-3 overtime win over the Oklahoma City Barons in Game 1 of their first-round series on Friday.
Oklahoma City hosts Game 2 on Saturday night.
Sutter tipped home Brett Bellemore's shot at 3:06 of the extra session as the fourth-seeded Checkers edged the fifth-seeded Barons for their fourth win in five visits to the Cox Convention Center this season.
After Teemu Hartikainen put Oklahoma City on the board first 7:38 into the game, Justin Shugg tied it up early in the second period and Sutter gave the Checkers their first lead at 11:17.
But the Barons grabbed the lead before intermission as C.J. Stretch and Josh Green scored 21 seconds apart late in the middle stanza.
Zach Boychuk's goal 2:32 into the third period drew Charlotte back even.
Rookie Rob Madore made 30 saves in the first playoff appearance of his pro career, earning the win for the Checkers. Yann Danis stopped 24 shots in the loss.

Welcome to My Childhood Treasures. I make digital children's sewing patterns including girls dress patterns, boys sewing patterns, baby sewing patterns and girls skirt patterns. All my children's sewing patterns come with INSTANT DOWNLOAD.
I've spent the last ten years working in women's fashion design and became obsessed with children's patterns last year when I was pregnant with my daughter. I made so many beautiful and creative outfits for her that I thought I'd like to share some of them with you.
All my patterns are loaded with easy to understand colored photos and come with multi-sized patterns which are easy to print on your home computer.
The Bella Dress is a special dress for the little girl in your life. With an appliqu flower motif and a pleat that looks like the stem of the flower it is a cute addition to any little girl's wardrobe.
Your PDF eBook tutorial includes all the patterns and instructions you need for both the dress and the appliqu flowers. If you don't have much sewing experience you'll find that making the flower from felt is quite easy as it can be straight stitched around and felt is very forgiving for crooked sewing.
You can use ready made bias binding for this dress which can be purchased easily or I also give you instructions for making your own without any special tools.
The pattern is multi-sized and comes in sizes 2,3,4,5,6,7,8.
For a Summer dress you could use light to medium weight cottons in a rainbow of colors. This dress is also perfect for Winter as it could be worn over a turtleneck and could be made in lightweight wool or corduroy.
Once you have ordered you will receive a PDF eBook with easy to follow instructions which include color photos with step by step instructions. It will also include a full sized pattern including all pieces which will print on your regular home computer on either letter or A4 paper. All the measurements and instructions in my patterns are in both metric and imperial so you don't need to worry about conversions no matter where you live.
All my patterns can be made with or without a serger and are designed for sewers who do not have much experience.
Items made using the patterns in my eBooks may be used for personal use only at this stage. If you do wish to sell items made with my patterns please email me at email@example.com so we can discuss it further.

In this analysis, we assessed the costs and benefits of postattack and preattack strategies for an anthrax release of a greater magnitude than that previously experienced in the United States. The main finding of our analyses of postattack strategies is that use of vaccine plus antibiotic prophylaxis is the most effective and least expensive therapy. The savings associated with preventing cases of inhalational anthrax offset the cost of using both vaccination and antibiotics. This finding is robust even with reasonable changes in our estimates of the cost and efficacy of the vaccine and antibiotics. Our most important finding about preattack vaccination is that the net health benefit and cost-effectiveness depended critically on the probability of an attack and on the proportion of the population exposed during the attack. For a large metropolitan U.S. city, vaccination provides reasonable value for the health care dollar only when the probability of clinically significant exposure reaches about 1 in 200 (for example, when the probability of attack is 0.01 and the probability of exposure during an attack is 0.5, the joint probability of clinically significant exposures would be 0.005 or 1 in 200). Our findings highlight the inherent difficulties in decision making about anthrax vaccination. Several factors influence the probability that an individual will receive a clinically significant exposure during an attack, including the quantity of spores released, method of dissemination, and environmental factors (such as geography, wind conditions, and time of day of the dispersal) (4–6, 23, 65). Although it is difficult to judge the likelihood of a release and the probability of exposure given a release, clearly some individuals are at higher risk than others. Our finding that vaccination provides a net health benefit at even relatively low probabilities (1 in 500) may help decision-makers assess the desirability of vaccination of military and emergency services personnel, who are probably at greater risk for exposure than the general population. If a vaccine with fewer adverse reactions became available, the probabilities of exposure at which there may be net benefit would be lower.

Dear Editor,
We congratulate Robert A. Fowler and his team for their excellent in- depth study of the possible scenarios of anthrax abuse by terrorists and its cost effective management [1]. Terrorism can affect or cause to affect terror anywhere, by any means and by using any method, not necessarily the ¡¥anthrax¡¦. Therefore urgent need for similar studies on other biological and chemical agents exists. More importantly, the means of their easy, rapid and unambiguous detection is absolute must so as to be able to prevent rumors, panic and confusion. Modalities to make such gadgets readily available should be another area of study. The methods of containment and necessary preventive aspects should be spelt out clearly. Last but not the least, we keep our fingers crossed and pray that such terror incidents should never happen anywhere.

Significant Pending Cases
Horvitz & Levy LLP is regularly involved in a variety of appeals involving major judgments and/or important public policy issues.
City of San Diego v. Board of Trustees of the California State University (2011) 201 Cal.App.4th 1134, review granted April 19, 2012, S199557.
In this case, the California Supreme Court will decide whether a state university fulfills its obligations under the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21000 et seq.) (CEQA) to mitigate identified significant off-campus environmental impacts when feasible by requesting mitigation funds from the Legislature, or whether the university must also address in its Environmental Impact Report (EIR) the availability of potential sources of funding other than appropriations from the Legislature and provide compelling reasons why those sources cannot be used to pay for mitigation in the event the Legislature denies the requested appropriation.
As part of a legislative directive to expand statewide university enrollment to accommodate surging demand for affordable higher education, California State University approved a master plan to expand the enrollment capacity of San Diego State University. In the plan's EIR, CSU determined that the expansion would contribute to traffic congestion on roads near the SDSU campus. Relying on City of Marina v. Board of Trustees of the California State University (2006) 39 Cal.4th 341, 367, CSU determined that the appropriate mitigation of this impact would be to ask the Legislature for funds to pay CSU's fair-share contribution towards local traffic infrastructure improvements. CSU also determined that in the event the Legislature refused to appropriate those funds, the mitigations would be infeasible, but that the expansion should proceed because the project's benefits would outweigh the traffic impacts.
The City of San Diego and other local agencies petitioned for writ relief in superior court, claiming that CEQA requires CSU to explore potential alternative funding sources in the event the event the Legislature denies CSU's appropriation request. The court denied the petition but the Court of Appeal reversed, holding that CSU must demonstrate compelling reasons why it would be infeasible as a matter of law to use CSU's other educational revenue sources to pay for the traffic infrastructure upgrades.
CSU retained Horvitz & Levy LLP to seek review by the California Supreme Court, and to handle further proceedings in the Supreme Court once the court granted review. If you would like further information about this case, please contact Jeremy B. Rosen, Bradley S. Pauley, or Mark A. Kressel.

Over on a forum I used to be part of for a different topic, there was a game called "baby names love like lose." The poster gave three names and the person had to put each name in one of these categories: Love, Like or Lose. The love and like names went back into the rotation for the next person, and the lose names were eliminated. I just remembered that game and thought, why not do one for skating? One poster will pick six skating-related things-skaters, elements, programs, etc.-that all adhere to a common theme, and then come up with a new theme that fit the Love and Like items and add a new one.
Theme: ladies world medalists 2014-15

|EcommerceBytes-NewsFlash, Number 396 - September 19, 2002 - ISSN 1539-5065 1 of 2
Several eBay Preferred Solution Providers report problems accessing eBay via their Application Programming Interface (API). Auctionworks sent a letter to their customers yesterday telling them that the recent problems in launching auctions was due to problems with eBay, not Auctionworks itself.
Auction sellers who use auction management software began having problems launching auctions to eBay on September 4, and again on September 8. It appears that customers seeking an answer to the problem got the run around, with vendors and eBay pointing fingers at each other.
"Often the support folks at eBay seem to be the last to know about technical issues with the API," a representative from another vendor posted on his company's customer service board.
Auctionworks CEO Alec Peters expressed frustration in the September 18 letter that his customers are given what he calls "inaccurate information" from eBay customer support. In his letter, he said, "Over the last three weeks, eBay has been having intermittent problems with its API. The API is critical as it is the method Auctionworks, and other service providers, connect with eBay to send data back and forth. Auctionworks has been working diligently with eBay to help them isolate and resolve these API issues."
Vendors contacted by AuctionBytes told varying stories about the duration of eBay's API problems. All confirm that there were API problems on eBay's end on September 4 and 8.
"eBay is currently experiencing problems with their API, which is causing latency in auction launching, launch errors, and latency in Sales Manager updating," read a posting on the AuctionWatch announcement board on September 8. AuctionWatch also provides auction management services to sellers.
eBay spokesperson Kevin Pursglove said the API does experience problems on occasion, while other times it is the vendor's problem in trying to make their code match eBay's. �Sometimes when we sit down to work out the problem with the vendor, we find out that the problem lies with the vendors. Sometimes it not the API, sometimes it's a site-wide problem that affects the API.� Pursglove also said it is possible for some vendors to experience problems while others do not.
eBay requires third-party vendors who access their database to apply for API certification. The API eases the burden on eBay's system and makes it easier for vendors to keep up with the frequent changes to the eBay site. Vendors must pay a sizeable upfront fee to go through the certification process, and they pay an annual fee plus monthly usage fees. eBay says 200 companies are API certified, and there is a waiting list of vendors who have applied for certification.

very, very cool
very different concept, it has great depth. would have been stronger if there was a way to move bane and batman to the top of the shirt
Very nice, I like it
nice concept and painting + 1
Very nice execution.
thank you everyone for the votes and constructive comments
I like the colors in your shirt =)
Cool. I like the name rhyme as well
Great Job on the painting. I suggest adding more drama by making the city less colorful and maybe more subdued in the background. The main characters should be place higher or centered so it can be the main focal point. I also suggest to exaggerate Banes Neck and shoulder muscles to make him appear stronger.
@alchris Thank you for your feedback. I realized its a mistake of how I interpreted Gotham, it should be dark and gloomy. I also agree that the main characters will stand out more if i re-position them. Frankly, i intended to do 2 designs but it was so close to the deadline that i thought i wouldnt even have enough time to finish this one. I was rushing so the work didnt turn out that successful in terms of the theme and colors.
Minhquach, I can tell you put a lot of effort and you really apreciate honest critique, so I'm gonna give it with candor and respect. The rendering is very detailed and I can tell a lot of attention has gone into it, the attention to the detail in bane, the broken wall and specially the City's perspective is commendable.
Your take on the "break" theme of the movie is very unique and I havent seen it in any other, conceptually that is a great element but I think the rest of the elements dont come together….what was your idea with batman as (what appears to be) a painting on a black wall, and the dark and Bane in the daylight Gotham? is batman not really real to the city, therefore a painting? why is Bane in daylight, is he bringing some revelation symbolized by light?
For the concept and the medium you chose I think the colors look a bit too "out of the tubes" mostly bright primaries and secondaries. That's probably what makes batman look painted on the wall and Bane sort of looks like he's in a really happy go lucky city.
I dont know that you should have washed it out to monochrome like most of the other entries, but I feel like it still lacks the atmosphere of something where you had chosen colors for specific reasons.
Ok, I think that's all the critique I can honestly give, I dont mean to say that my design is better or anything, personally I fell way way short of the concept I wanted to do, but I saw there was a lot of effort in this so I thought I'd give as much useful comments as I could. Not voting for you because I'm only voting for those I adopted the arbitrary policy of only voting for those that truly feel are the best of the bunch and I want to be the ones that get to be seen by Chris Nolan :p (that probably means I wouldnt vote for mine either XD) Still I admire the work put into this and I commend you for your work and your original ideas, cheers =)
@Conzeit Thank you Conzeit for noticing the details and the hard work i put into it. Frankly, yours is the kind of comment that Im looking for. About the design, most of the ideas I have are from the trailer I watched, and it didnt show much unfortunately. I saw Gotham city falls into chaos under the Bane's cruelty and Bane, different from other villains, has no fear to appear in public. Batman has always been in the dark and he needs no credit for all the work he does for Gotham. However, one scene from the trailer I watched revealing Batman fighting Bain in public during daylight! This gave me the idea that the dark wall that Batman's been behind is breaking and he has to show up himself in daylight to resolve the issue. My ideas are actually come from my guesses as well since I havent seen the movie yet. And my interpretation of Gotham is totally against the Dark Knight's theme due to the use of colors T.T I appreciate that you take your time to check out my work and leave such wonderful comment. Thank you. Wish you and me best luck in this contest.
hi! I already commented and voted your design… look on page 1. good job on colors and concept…
@tomapart: oh, i apologize for not noticing. Thank you for your vote and comment :)
This is serious work .I'm new on DBH , not sure if the can print this.Perhaps with DTG printers.Anyway it looks great,deserves a +1 :)
An original concept. Computer art is my media but I am in awe of anyone who can weild a brush. Other than the city lighting which I feel needs to be darker I cannot make any other comment. gl
my only advise for you is be true to your own aesthetic. try to understand your own brush strokes and discover the reason why you choose what you choose to do.. be one with your art-everything else doesnt matter. including other people's opinions of what you do.
Commendable style and workmanship. The Bane portion of the painting reads a little too positive, but good work non-the-less.
very nice

At 88, Frank Lautenberg is the oldest member of the U.S. Senate.
But in recent weeks, the New Jersey Democrat has acted more like a young up-and-comer, jousting with Gov. Christie, swiping at state agencies, and poking holes in a university merger plan supported by powerful members of his own party.
His endgame, political observers say, is to show his vigor and his intention to run for reelection in 2014, when he will be 90.
And any Democrat planning to challenge him in a primary better watch out.
"I won't be flushed out and I won't be pushed out," Lautenberg said after a discussion at Rider University this month.

The Science and Art of Cheese Making Short Course
The Science and Art of Cheese Making Short Course
Date: October 22-24, 2012
Location: Penn State University, Food Science Building, University Park, PA 16802
Time: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Primary Contact: Kerry Kaylegian, firstname.lastname@example.com; 814-867-1379
Website: www.agsci.psu.edu/cheese-making
Farmstead and artisan dairy processors and others interested in cheese who take this course will gain knowledge of the materials and processes used to make specialty cheese and learn techniques to improve their business.
This 3 day course begins with a focus on the materials and facilities used for cheese making. Knowledge of milk composition and milk microbiology combined with good sanitation practices form the foundation for consistent high quality cheese.
Cheese making will be discussed with an emphasis on the chemical and microbial changes at each step in the process. Understanding changes that occur in cheese throughout manufacture allows cheesemakers to adjust their make procedure to modify finished cheese properties or in response to variations in milk supply or other factors.
Several varieties of cheese will be made during the laboratory session in the pilot plant. Students may participate in the cheese making process at any level from hands-in-the-vat and taking measurements to observing the action. Principles learned in lecture and lab will be integrated in a session on the sensory evaluation and judging of different cheese categories.
The course wraps up with discussions on food safety plans and marketing specialty cheeses and value-added products.
The course encourages interaction among the students and course instructors during lectures, lab, breaks, meals and at the wine and cheese reception.
