Creating a stronger pharmaceutical supply chain through unique packaging solutions
Editor's note: Rick Seibert is vice president of business development at Sharp Corporation, a provider of contract packaging services to the pharmaceutical industry. Here he discusses with APICS magazine managing editor Elizabeth Rennie vulnerabilities in the prescription drug supply chain, serialization and track and trace, authentication, anti-counterfeiting, and other relevant topics for today's prescription drug supply chain.
Rennie: Many countries have begun addressing vulnerabilities with new regulations that require the serialization (the act of placing a unique mark on each level of packaging) of drug products. What types of serialization initiatives have you worked on at Sharp Corporation? Seibert: Currently there is no US or international standard that exists for the coding and configuration of serialized pharmaceutical products. Due to lack of shared standards, different countries, as well as companies with pharmaceutical market segments, have taken their own customized approach to meeting the perceived serialization solution. While the US solution has trended toward a pedigree model, international markets have migrated toward an authentication or point-of-sale verification model.
As Sharp Corporation is part of United Drug PLC, we have been engaged in development and deployment of both models. In fact, the absence of an international or domestic US standard for serialization has been both a challenge as well as a blessing for Sharp.
Why do you say it's both a challenge and a blessing? As a contract packaging services provider, we need to develop and deploy systems to support companies that produce and distribute products into all major international markets. The primary markets we serve are the United States/North America, Western Europe, South America, and Japan. We must also service a range of customer sophistication that varies from large pharmaceutical companies with serialized solutions supported by major [enterprise resources planning] (ERP) vendors, such as SAP and Oracle, to small, virtual companies that have no [information technology] or technical infrastructure whatsoever and that rely on Sharp infrastructure.
Our serialized solutions need to be compliant with international standards requirements as they evolve and must also have open architecture that enables collaboration and data sharing with various middleware and ERP packages deployed across a diverse customer base.
To date, we have implemented approximately 12 serialized packaging solutions for virtual companies through top-tier large pharmaceutical companies. We have not implemented a complete pedigree system that includes a comprehensive solution utilized by wholesalers or point-of-sale dispensation. These last two nodes of the US pharmaceutical supply chain have not yet embraced serialized solutions based on the lack of a national or US standard for serialized packaging solutions.
What are your packaging solutions used for primarily? The solutions we have deployed [are] used as anti-diversion, anti-counterfeiting, and patient-assistance tools … At Sharp, we are aggressively working on solutions where we can offer a range additional services that extend beyond the immediate compliance and regulatory compliance requirements for serialization.
Can you explain the difference between current regulations and what your company aims to achieve? The regulations are targeted toward authentication and anti-counterfeiting. Outside of the United States, specifically in Europe, the serialized packages provide a tool to limit parallel trade operations. Parallel trade occurs when a product that is produced to be sold into Market A with Market A pricing is sold in Market B at Market B pricing. In Europe, pricing is set by government agencies, which are the primary payers for the drug products. Parallel trade is legal, but disrupts the supply chain in that, oftentimes, products intended for sale in lower-priced markets are diverted and sold into higher-priced markets. This disrupts the supply chain and also the pricing and reimbursement models throughout the chain. Aside from detection of counterfeit products, a serialized product can also be detected at the point of sale.
At Sharp, we are passionate that a serial number will become a technology "thread" that will connect a patient or end user to an extended list of services that will support improved clinical outcomes in the near future. The same serial number thread will provide for additional value-added services for the brand owners and pharmaceutical companies and their extended supply chains, as well. Value-added services enabled by serialized pharmaceuticals include access to co-pay assistance programs, authentication, anti-counterfeiting, reimbursement services, compliance and adherence solutions, returns services, recall services, parallel trade detection and deterrence, patient and care provider education services, market analytics, contract management and compliance, et cetera.
What is the basic idea behind serialization—achieving a complete history through track and trace, or is it more than that? I personally believe that the driving force behind the serialization movement is based on the need to verify that a packaged drug product is authentic and is therefore clinically safe for use by the patient. With this overarching objective in mind, a serialized package provides for additional visibility throughout the entire supply chain and creates opportunities for all members of the supply chain to gain some competitive advantage by exploiting the technology.
What types of challenges or unforeseen hurdles have you encountered when serializing drug product at a unit-of-sale level? Can you share some examples of issues you've faced and how you're working to overcome them? The two largest hurdles we've had to overcome are the impacts on the operations workforce and the exchange of data between our customers and our suppliers. In the serialized world, efforts to minimize human intervention must be considered. [When] packaging products at speeds up to 300 units per minute, caution must be taken to assure that a manual intervention does not cause any parent-child aggregation to be broken. Current practices dictate compliance at lot number and expiration date levels. Serialization changes the paradigm into a lot size of one, which is a culture-changing impact on operations employees. Line design, implementation, and employee training are crucial to the successful launch of serialized solutions.
With regard to data sharing, the lack of international standards becomes the main issue to address. Discussion and agreement on the data format, standards to deploy, database structure, reporting requirements, et cetera, need to be discussed and agreed upon as early as possible in the project life cycle.
Can you please share one or two lessons learned that you think would be valuable to APICS magazine readers? It is easy to underestimate the complexity and challenges involved with developing and implementing a serialized solution for pharmaceutical products. There is no real substitute to executing an actual project from concept through commercialization. Many companies have taken a pilot approach, which is an excellent proxy to an actual commercial project. I would suggest that anyone taking on a pilot or commercial trial project should budget 12-to-15 months from concept through completion of the project. I would also suggest that anyone implementing a serialized solution find a partner with commercial experience with these technologies. Customized solutions, especially with regard to serial number management systems, add significant risk to the success of the project.
It's not as easy as it may seem, so get some real-world experience and get to know what you don't know. Pick your partners wisely, and don't try to customize until you've mastered the basics. Don't look at serialization as a compliance or regulatory burden; look at it as an opportunity or tool that can reinvent your supply chain. Use it … to add value to your brand, to connect with your patients and clinicians, and to integrate more closely with your supply chain partners.

Bad news: Croatia appropriates Marco Polo. Good news: he might have not even been to China.
Finally, another bizarre symbolic conflict over historical figures. After having devoted a great deal of my time examining the Greco-Macedonian conflict over the narratives of ancient Macedonian origin, and the copyrights to the legacy of Alexander the Great [MA thesis, conference paper, numerous research and press articles and book out of print this week], I was very excited to find out that Italy and Croatia had a similar tug of war of their own. The stake is the right to claim another globally renowned historical figure: the traveler Marco Polo. As journalists from the Telegraph have written back in April, the roots of this contest lie in historical uncertainties and alternative explanations of the past [and arguably, a lot of mythologization]:
And for the story to be even more appealing to me, the conflict had escalated – well, in China. It was not Croatian myth-makers and B class historians, but former president Stipe Mesic who had the main role. In the city of Yangzhou, where Polo allegedly served under Kublai Khan, it was Mesic [and no Italian officials] who opened a memorial hall devoted to Marco Polo, whom he described as a "world explorer, born in Croatia, who opened up China to Europe". A highly emotional rant in Corriere della Serra followed soon, blaming not only Croats for "kidnapping" Marco Polo, but Italian authorities for allowing that in the first place and the Chinese for their mistake. And the day was saved by Chinese media, who, elaborated that Mesic was only "attending" the event and was not really there as an official representative of Croatia [I could not find the news on Xinhua though, but this page has cross-published it]. The reaction was picked up by the Shanghaiist, which sided with the Italians and went on to question the responsibility of the Yangzhou officials for the mess.
This small-scale feud between the two Adriatic countries is not to be compared with the full-fledged cold war between Greece and Macedonia. However, it exhibits some of the basic features of how the world looks through nationalist lenses. Due to an obvious lack of critically examining the past, nationalists always tend to project the world of today in the past. For the matter of fact, Marco Polo was no Croat or Italian, for no concepts of Croat or Italian nation existed back in the thirteenth century. Marco Polo was a Venetian merchant, who might have originated from the Dalmatian coast. While the author of the Corierre della Serra makes a valid point that "[t]o claim that Marco Polo, or indeed any other resident of Curzola at that time, was Croatian simply because the island is in Croatia today, is to stretch history perilously far," he fails to take in account that to claim that Marco Polo or any other resident even of Venice at time was Italian is also stretching history too far [reminder: centuries of disunity [and wars] between various polities on the territory that is Italy today, foreign rule and long walk to the emergence of the Italian state, as well as a process of nationalization and homogenization of the country that can still not erase the cultural and economic differences between the North and the South]. Marco Polo was no Italian or Croat, just as Alexander the Great was not Greek nor Macedonian in the sense contemporary Greeks and Macedonians are. Italians, Croats, Greeks or Macedonians of today, and their self-definition as such, are the result of the hard work of man-made institutions that emerged in the last 200 years, long after the contested historical figures were gone.
Marco Polo and Alexander the Great are especially appealing to Croat and Macedonian nationalists respectively, because they are brands known worldwide – even in China. The chance is, someone would perhaps have heard about Davor Suker or Darko Pancev [or for that matter, Tito and Yugoslavia], but hey, we are talking about two people who are considered to have significantly changed the course of world history and are of global importance, making us equal part-takers in global affairs. They happen to be very old too. They serve both as an evidence of longevity and our civilizing mission [or as the line in one Serbian movie goes, "while they were still eating like pigs with their hands, we had already been eating with forks"].
Moreover, Marco Polo and Alexander the Great are plausible as national heroes because they [or the selectively remembered, mythologized images of them], on top of being global brands, embody traits that in the value system of nationalism are considered to be of great importance – they are the indicators of the character of the nation. Marco Polo is imagined audacious and wise, a true diplomat and the person who set the cornerstones of Sino-European relations; Alexander the Great is imagined as a military and political leader who crushed his opponents and established one of the largest empires in history.
Yet, what if a Marco and Alex were not that awesome to begin with?
For instance, if you tell an average Macedonian nationalist that Alexander was Greek, than you risk hours of kafana-style history talks and lectures on both ancient history, and history of Modern Greek propaganda. Tell a Greek nationalist that Alexander was Macedonian, you will face similar response. However, as soon as you bring up historical accounts that Alexander was a ruthless megalomaniac, a psychologically unstable tyrant, who wanted to Asiatise Europe rather than to Hellenize/Macedonize Asia; and especially if you question his straightness [allegedly, he was a bisexual who was also intimate with his mother], the encounter with the person believing to be his descendant might soon escalate into a brawl [many nationalists happen to be homophobic, too]. Alexander was a liberator, and more importantly, he was a healthy and straight man, they believe. When Oliver Stone begged to differ and rendered a gay image of Alexander in his Hollywood blockbuster, he was almost sued by Greek lawyers for distorting history and hurting their national feelings.
Marco Polo's legacy does not remain unquestioned as well. Today, the Telegraph ran another story on Marco Polo, this time presenting a viewpoint of history and archaeology scholars arguing that the Venetian has not even made it to China:
Assuming that such a version of history might be truer than the current one, an important question that is to be raised here: would Stipe Mesic have still attended the ceremony/opened the museum in Yangzhou? Would Croats still claim a Marco Polo who was not a discoverer, but a fiction writer or translator, or even a liar? Would Italians protest with the same intensity over the appropriation of such a historical figure? Would Chinese build the museum, to begin with?
I personally, always cheer for pluralizing historical accounts. Knowing how far nationalist mythomania can go, it is always good to have a narrative that might downplay irrational behavior, or at least give you the opportunity to be happily bitter about it and ridicule myth's supporters. Consoling over the construction of the monument of Alexander the Great so tall that it overshadows everything else on the skyline of the main square, one can always say that Skopje has the largest statue of a gay man in the world erected by a homophobic political leadership; a statue of a man who never even laid foot in Skopje during his lifetime. In case Croatian authorities decide to honor Marco Polo in a similar way, one can always say "look at that guy, he had never even been to China."

It truly shows the incompetence of all involved at Days. One more thing, you can bet they will be blink and you miss them scenes. Can't take away any screen time from Dr. Dan the perv, Melanie, the teenage business tycoon, Bo's visions into the present, the endless whining of Sami or any of the other current riveting stories.

Excellent post! Thanks for clarifying the real point of J&M fans' anger at the news of this latest development. Obviously, non-fans may have trouble relating, or may chose to make light of it for their own purposes. But, as you pointed out, if this shoddy treatment of two long-time favorites and their large fan base is possible look for more of the same aimed at other cast members and fan bases as DAYS continues downhill. :shame:

you know if you go watch the alex north storyline on you tube you now wonder if that was brilliant writing compared to what we are going to get in a week. at least there was a payoff.
and they walked off together. no pun intended of course. :drunk:

ROFL! Yes, the show truly is a work of art these days.
I may not be a John and Marlena fan (well, I'm definitely not), but I have nothing but sympathy for their fans. This exit non-story is insulting and ridiculous.

Yes, good point... this is sort of what I was saying earlier today. Why should any fan stick around and expect anything decent for their favorites when this show can't even afford one of it's biggest fan favorites something worthy of them and years of fan loyalty? If anyone thinks watching Days is going to bring them anything but misery, I'm sorry buy you are going to be very disappointed.

Because there isn't any, nor is there any reason behind why Dr. Taylor had to be brought to surface in the first place. She didn't need to play any part in this. It should have been all Marlena and John. As bad as this sl has been, TPTB still could have given them and their fans a fairytale ending. But nope, instead we get a fuck you!

I never imagined it either. I knew we weren't going to get anything good, but the paralysis? There was absolutely no need to go there. And some lame excuse that they have to leave the country to get him better care...seriously?!!!! We are the USA...people come HERE for better care! Idiots!!
I told myself, no matter how it ends I am not going to get mad. I've been mad, disappointed, frustrated and angry at the TPTB far too many times in the last few years. I wasn't going to let DAYS get to me this time. Well, it happened. For one last time, you have me wanting to throwing my fucking sandwich at you. Congratulations Ken! You should be so proud!! :flipoff:

Have you read the latest? Paralysed was bad enough but now it's from the neck down. I was being as pessimistic as I could be when I wrote that a couple of days ago that I wouldn't put it past them, and sure enough they manage to make an already bad scenario that much worse. No way for him to even touch her. And this is them leaving happily ever after? After all the YEARS of turmoil and angst - THIS is how they leave characters we have come to love over the years?? With us getting to imagine the hell they'll be going through?
Of all the things they could have done to have made this departure somewhat manageable to fans, they find the way to make it absolutely unbelieveably bad. In all honesty, I would have preferred them to die to this, then at least there would be closure. This? What does this do beside enrage people who have loved these characters? And as I said before, even for those who don't care for J&M - what does this say to you about investing anything into what you're watching on screen? Do you think there willbe any payoff? If this is their example of happily ever after for characters who have been on the show since the 1980s!!
I swear, if I could instigate a boycott of this show I would. I have never wished for a show to go under but that truly is how mad I am at this moment. The sheer and utter disregard this shows fans and loyal viewers is truly disgusting.

Streetcorner Philosopher
Well...this would be the time when Days viewers need to do what we do best: make our own shit up. I'll never forget how much better the Salem Serial Stalker Killer Whatever was before they did something with it on air.
To that end, I'm pretending that next week we will see the Biggest Twist in Days history when we learn that John was not in fact stabbed in the neck with a deadly toxin by Charlotte. Really, what happens is that he finally awakens from a coma he's been in since getting run down all those months ago. Some of what's aired is reality, some isn't. He's still paralyzed from the neck-down, he and Marlena still have to go to Belgium or wherever for treatment, but at least it's not just a hastily "written" shit ending. It's a catalyst for major change that the show desperately (imho) needs.
And y'know, I was trying not to say that I wouldn't follow Days after the two leave, because I'm not really a fan of them separately or together. But in thinking about it, as I try desperately not to focus on work at all today, this is just too much. If this is really how it ends, it just shows how much opportunity they're really willing to squander, and how much crap they're willing to create to setup nothingness.
Why, Corday, was there a need for Santo and Colleen? That storyline was worse than anything else I've seen on this show, including Garden of Eden and the stupid neverending kidnapping crap. It didn't setup some kind of magical EJ/Sami echoes-through-time trueloveforever. It made Stefano kind of pathetic. And it rewrote John's past again in a way that will apparently not play out in a meaningful way, especially since he apparently gets permanently injured (which- writers, you can't have him be a magical Dimera and expect me to believe he can be hurt, especially when he freakin' died not long ago).
And why did they fire the actor, kill John, create this promise that it would be a turning point for the show, and then bring him back if only to end it with this? I actually thought John's death was well done. I thought it opened a lot of possibilities for the show. I thought it showed that they were serious about making this a different kind of show- less soap opera in the negative sense, more daytime drama. Then you bring him back. For this.
I don't get it. A lot of crap storyline that still had potential for greatness, all of it down to a random psychopath, a toxin, paralysis and Belgium. It can't be serious, and I sincerely hope that the writers don't believe this to be a quality mix of tragedy, action, and transcendent love. But they probably do.
They also probably plan to reverse this a few months down the line. "Psych- we were just playin', y'all. Belgium totally worked out for them."
But I don't think I care anymore, because whatever they do from this point forward- from a couple years ago forward- will always, inevitably, turn out to be crap. Or worse than crap- it turns out to be nothing, and I can't stand wasted potential.
Divas, rewrites, interference, budgets- I get all that. But I also get that every other show has that issue and not all of them seem to suffer the same problem. To me, the Days people just aren't trying, and if they can't be bothered to put any effort into making the show, I shouldn't spend my time following it. The baby switch stuff seemed interesting, but OLTL has something similar and more creative- I can get my fix there.
Oh- and the worst part of this, beyond the nothingness, is that it doesn't even seem like they're dovetailing it with anything really compelling to capture any viewers who turn in just because of the media coverage about Deidre Hall. It's not often that soaps get mainstream press. Bad on you, Corday, for not ensuring that it was exploited fully.

Why, Corday, was there a need for Santo and Colleen? That storyline was worse than anything else I've seen on this show, including Garden of Eden and the stupid neverending kidnapping crap. It didn't setup some kind of magical EJ/Sami echoes-through-time trueloveforever. It made Stefano kind of pathetic. And it rewrote John's past again in a way that will apparently not play out in a meaningful way, especially since he apparently gets permanently injured (which- writers, you can't have him be a magical Dimera and expect me to believe he can be hurt, especially when he freakin' died not long ago).
The Colleen and Santos shit, which seemed like it lasted for a year, perfectly sums up how pathetic the writing is on the show and the schitzo nature of the writing. Let me get this straight. Stephano hated Coleen passionately and wants to murder her and every member of her extended family because: she met a lying, dirtbag of a of a married man and when she found out he was married she did everything she could do to stay out of their marriage and spare Stephano's mother any strife.
A roving, Italian hankerchief salesman, no less. What a catch. So, if E.J. plants his seed and marries Sammi, all will be well and Stephano will lay off the Brady's. He will stay in his wing of the mansion and redecorate it. Did I miss anything? Oh yeah, he layed a big purple fart in the hospital which made everyone nauseous. :moon: :flipoff:

Unless you're a Nielsen viewer, it won't count your viewership whether you tune in or not.

See i still don't see this as the end for John and Marlena...I'm sure they will be back during the summer time..And SOD will have a big issue promoting their return to save Days..
I do agree, this is a shitty and rushed exit...And what sucks is the story has been so stagnant for so long that its really just unnecessary to rush it into two weeks..

Congressional Black Caucus Celebrates 40th Anniversary
Ofield Dukes | 7/13/2011, 10:12 a.m.
Washington, DC - This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).The contributions of CBC members in ushering a new era of black political empowerment are enormous. Unfortunately, these history-making legislative accomplishments of Black members of the U.S. Congress are not well known by their constituents and the new generation of young Black Americans as they should be.
I had the privileged of assisting in organizing and coordinating public relations for the first CBC dinner, held on June 18, 1971.Rep. Charles Diggs Jr., of Detroit, as the senior Black member of Congress, began a deliberate process of organizing the CBC.Having a prior friendship with Rep. Diggs, a Democratwho was a popular Detroit funeral home director, I was aware of his concern that President Richard Milhous Nixon might try to dismantle the historic civil rights legislation and Great Society programs passed under the courageous leadership of President Lyndon Baines Jonson. Diggs also took umbrage that President Nixon refused to meet with the 13 Blacks that were in theCongress at that time.
Ms. Carolyn P. DuBose, a former press secretary to Diggs, described in her well-researched book, "The Untold Story of Charles Diggs," how Diggs beganorganizing the CBC by establishing a Democratic Select Committee in l969. She quoted Diggs as saying: "They did not call me. I am the one who called them. I am the guy that called the meetings."
In addition to aclimate of White House hostility,within the Civil Rights Movement, there emerged a militant Black power movement led by Stokely Carmichael and H. Rapp Brown. Theyboth advocated meeting white -with-Black violence, contrary to the non-violent approach of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.Therewas also fear and anxiety in the white community in linking such a radical effort by Black members in the U.S. Congress with the Black power movement.
I was in the second year of operating my public relations firm out of the National Press building when Diggs called me out of great concern for white and even Black perceptions associating the newly formed Congressional Black Caucus with the Black power movement.
Diggs and I discussed a strategy of my firm convening a press conference at the National Press Club to clarify the objectives of the CBC. At the press conference, CBC members Reps. Louis Stokes and Williams Clay eloquently explained the political objectives of the Black Caucus and the planned first dinner that June.
In my firm's handling the public relations for the first dinner, there was concern about people coming to the nation's capital paying as much as $100 to attend a dinner. That was quite a sum of money at that time. But at the dinner, there was an overwhelming crowd. The hotel ballroom had a capacity of2,400 with 10 persons at 24 tables. However,there were 2,800 excited people squeezed into the ballroom, a standing room only crowd.
The dinner itself, was a huge success, with entertainment by singers Nancy Wilson and Billy Eckstein, humor by Dick Gregory and Bill Cosby, and an electrifying speech by actor/orator Ossie Davis.Davis told the audience that "It's not the man; it's the plan; it's not the rap; It's the map.Davis went on to say, "At the time when Dr. King was assassinated in l968, he was in the process of organizing his forces and calling upon his people to come one more time to Washington, D.C. And I have a feeling that had he come that time he would not have said, 'I have a dream.' He would have said, 'I have a plan." And I feel that plan might have made a difference
Davis' profound remarks that inspired the founding 13 members of the CBC and the thousands who attended that first dinner 40 years ago are as relevant today. And so is the work of the CBC.

Posted on: June 6th, 2012 REVIEW: Creator-Owned Heroes #1
Without a doubt, you've been hearing a lot of chatter about creator-owned rights and contracts regarding certain…popular title spin-offs this week. Okay, we've all got our opinions on the subject but I think we all can agree that what the world needs now is love. Sweet love.
No. That's not right. Creator-owned comics. Sweet creator-owned comics.
So what better than a book that offers not one but *two* creator-owned stories? But wait! There's more! It also includes a Neil Gaiman interview! And if you order now, you get editorials and informational articles on the process of making comics! Now how much would you pay?! Hopefully $3.99 or above because that's how much I expect you to dish out.
Creator-Owned Heroes is an open project from a group of friends that just happen to be popular comic book creators. They'd like to share with you some of their stories and their opinions on the industry and life in general I suppose.
In this issue we have "American Muscle" written by Steve Niles and artwork by Kevin Mellon. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic world with muscle cars and mutants. Tell me this doesn't just slap you in the face with awesome.
Triggergirl 6 is done by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray with art from Phil Noto. Female (in appearance? Who knows.) assassin taking out government officials in the sky. Yes. Sounds great. There are also boobs. Who doesn't like boobs? I like mine.
I truly enjoyed both stories. I look forward to reading more of both of them. But that's not what I want to talk about. Because I expected those stories to be great. I also expected the book to end with those stories. And it did not.
The first 27 pages of this book is like going to a grindhouse double feature. Which, I love. Majorly. Two fast paced, no-holds-barred stories and quick previews of other available features. One page mentions of other creator-owned books and you're on your way to the next story. But then on page 28, we slam on the breaks and enter into a whole new book. The kind with words not in balloons. And minds are promptly blown.
I really like Jimmy Palmiotti. I like his tweets. I like his blog. I like his writings. I like him as a person. So naturally, I enjoyed his short editorial piece on the Creator-Owned Heroes back story. You know who I wasn't aware that I liked? Justin Gray. That guy writes like a sonovagun. Read his "Scattered Thoughts" article and you'll see what I mean: intelligent thoughts on the entertainment industry, on audience-perception and creator-owned properties. I want this guy on call to analyze all things in my life. Then writer Steve Bunche gives his input on creator-owned books and why there's a need for Creator-Owned Heroes. Steve Niles writes about his involvement with the project and a little backstory as to why he wrote "American Muscle". Bill Tortolini discusses how the design for the cover evolved into what you hold in your hands. Then there's a profile piece on photographer/writer Seth Kushner, a really lovely interview with Neil Gaiman and an interview with a set of cosplay costume designing/modeling twin sisters.
Guys, this is interesting stuff. It interested me. And I have the attention span of a goldfish. Creator-Owned Heroes is a delicious mash-up of comic book and magazine. So, come on. That voice in the back of your head is always saying you don't read enough. Read a comic and learn something. And then email these guys and interact with them. They're incredibly accessible.

Successful candidates are selected on the basis of academic achievement, personal strengths, leadership, and commitment to giving back to the community. All completed applications are evaluated by HSF certified readers. Once they have been read, we then begin our rigorous process of selection. Some scholarships are open to all class levels, institutions, majors and locations whereas, others have more specific criteria to which we must match eligible applicants. It is important that the information an applicant provides regarding his/her "intended" school/major be as up to date as possible, prior to our selection process.
Yes. However, students need only to submit one application to be considered. While applicants may be considered for multiple scholarships by only completing one application, each may only receive one award. HSF strives to make the best possible match of applicant to scholarship.
No. HSF strives to help as many Latino students attend college as possible. Hence, a Scholar may receive only one award per academic year.
Yes. The HSF selection process consists of several stages: Submitted, Finalist, Awarded or Waitlisted.
An applicant will be categorized into the submitted stage when both the application and recommendation form have been received.
Applications given the highest scores by our readers become Finalists and must submit additional documents, such as academic transcripts and final Student Aid Report (SAR), upon request. After all Finalists' documents have been collected, the top scoring applicants, in descending order, will receive awards or be waitlisted for an award.
Waitlisted may not receive an initial award, but will continue to be considered for an award if additional funding becomes available during the current award cycle. Additionally, waitlisted students will have access to all of the same services and resources that awarded HSF Scholars do, with the exception of the scholarship award, itself.
Unfortunately, every year, the applications we get from deserving students greatly outnumber the awards we have available. Accordingly, selection is highly competitive and not every strong student will make the final cut.
It's also important to remember that if your application is not complete, you will not be considered for a scholarship. Many bright students miss out on opportunities because they submit incomplete applications.
Take charge of your application process by:
Documentation between your home institution and host institution will be required. You must submit the following items* when requested by HSF:
*We will need to review this documentation in order to make a final decision.
No. In order to be eligible for an HSF scholarship, students must be enrolled full-time in the fall and spring terms, for the year in which the scholarship is awarded. Please note that scholarship funds cannot be deferred to another academic term or school year
Our intention is to make the best possible match of scholarship to student. Accordingly, once you are selected for one HSF scholarship, you are out of the running for other HSF scholarships. Hence, we highly encourage you to accept the scholarship offered.
Waitlisted scholars may not receive an initial award, but will continue to be considered for an award if additional funding becomes available during the current award cycle. Additionally, waitlisted students will have access to all of the same services and resources that awarded HSF Scholars do, with the exception of the scholarship award, itself.
Please continue to check your email as you will be receiving requests to submit documents and update your status. It is imperative that you complete the necessary information by the due dates provided. Scholars selected to receive HSF scholarships can lose their scholarships if their information isn't submitted by the requested deadlines; waitlisted scholars that submit their documents in a timely manner, may be awarded scholarship dollars as funding becomes available.
Students who are selected to receive an HSF scholarship will be required to take an online HSF Scholar Pledge. Completion of the HSF Scholar Pledge is a student's commitment to serving as a role model and to giving back to the Latino Community. Additionally, HSF Scholars will be required to submit periodic online Scholar Surveys which will provide HSF with insight on the profile and needs of our scholars in order to provide relevant and effective scholar services.
Note, more information about the HSF Scholar Pledge and Surveys will be emailed to HSF Scholars before scholarship funds are disbursed.
In order to reactivate your multiyear scholarship, formerly known as "renewal" or "cohort" scholarships, you must login to your MyHSF profile and complete your scholarship application. At the start of the application, you will be required to enter your personal authorization code, formerly known as a coupon code, in order to access the application. Authorization codes will be emailed to each scholar separately, therefore, make sure to update your contact information on your MyHSF profile as soon as possible.
Unlike new applicants, you will NOT be required to answer the application essays and to submit recommendations. Additionally, all multiyear scholarship recipients are required to upload the following documents into their Document Bank on the scholarship application:
For more information about these documents please refer to the "Supporting Document" FAQs.
Your status as an HSF scholarship recipient is contingent upon verification of full-time enrollment at an accredited, four-year or graduate, not-for-profit institution this year. Once your enrollment verification is received and your Well Fargo Payment Management profile is created/confirmed, your award will be processed. Instructions on how to set-up a Wells Fargo Payment Management profile will be emailed to scholarship recipients in August.
Scholarship awards will be in the range of $500-$5,000 and will be determined based on your financial aid award from your institution. Scholars awarded a scholarship amount of $2,500 or more will receive two disbursements. The first half of their award will be disbursed and the rest in the spring term.

E. Idaho man charged with threatening game officer
An Eastern Idaho man has been charged with pointing a firearm at a fish and game officer and shooting wildlife illegally.
Authorities say Seth Mills of Driggs pointed a shotgun at Idaho Fish and Game officer Lauren Wendt in November during her investigation into illegal hunting activity. Mills was also charged with two wildlife violations, including hunting migratory birds protected under federal law without a license.
The Rexburg Standard Journal reports at least one other eastern Idaho hunter has been charged in a separate poaching case.
James Fullmer of Tetonia is accused of illegally trapping and killing a gray wolf. Investigators say he trapped the wolf out of season and used illegal game parts as bait. He also faces a charge of hunting the species without a license.

Undefeated made extensive use of the Clyde for collaborative projects in 2011-12. The Puma Clyde has slowed in '13, with just a couple of key collabo projects on the horizon. The only in-house style we've seen in several months is fittingly subdued as the Clyde Luxe goes for the 'Blackout' look in a deluxe leather build. The vast majority of Clydes over the years have been done in suede, so have a closer look at how it does in this elegant style and grab yours from select retailers like Kith.

wig master - I am in love with those drums, man, hot fire! kind of a spacey sound to it, sounds pretty good.
tone - very good man, I can see myself listening to this while the sun sets...
subbass - haha, diggin the 'fuck bill' and dillagence samples in the intro...beat's nice, has a laidback/creepy feeling...
svetnik - good chops throughout, a bit too repetitive for my taste, but still pretty hot.
cralias - REALLY like the 'dadada' noise in the background, and the drumbreak...
mchi - pretty good one here, intro's the best part IMO. it sounds like it's missing something, though...maybe another drum program would make it more exciting...but that's just my taste.
aeorosolbreath - some dirty effects, my kind of beat, love it.
theyounglohim9 - pretty good one, this is the first one I've heard from you...very well put together.
tkurata - REALLY loving this one, has that stutter-step/all-over-the-place feel to it, very well done. drums are amazing as well. the breakdown near the end is BANANAS!
deezsteez - deesupreme's drums work great on here, has a strange movie score sound to it.
all of you guys did incredible, but I'm gonna have to vote for...tkurata! he blew me away in the last half of the beat, good work man!

kinda hard to put my finger on why but i really like this ones whole feel. think its the way it sort of stumbles along, and soudns kinda.. subtle, i dunno. anyway, like it a lot. peace
(cheers for the feedback DA)

The Wig Master - Usual high-quality craziness goin on. The madness sounds like it needs to be reined in just a little. Great sample work though, I don't think many people tried to use vox offa the source. I like your kit but I would like to hear somethin a little different in future beats..I'm a fan of all your work...
Tone - I hope you stick around these boards for a long time cuz I always look forward to hearing your stuff. You know how to loop, man. Great structure as always, nice bassline, sampled vox work good. The change up is super dope, lovin the second part alot! One of my faves...
SubBass49 - I looove the intro...you brought ish full circle with those dillagence samples. I really like this beat! The drums are soundin like a nice change from your usual bangers, good to hear that variation. It's got that creeping feel...like the fuzzed out bass! Good job man!
Svetnik - Cool intro...intro vox are maybe a little too dirty. Anyway..............ok there's the drums. Hittin hard, man! That kick is niiice. Good loops! I do feel like there is something missing...and that's because it's so dope I'm looking for that completeness...maybe it's because the "bassline" is one note. Anyway the mix is great, this would sound nice in my car. Awesome/
cralias - That chopped melody is great...oh quick change, that bass walk is cooool. Loving the variation and the guitar samples. A little somethin extra on the kit would be nice to hear. Overall great work though man I'm liking all your beats.
mchi - The intro is interesting...kinda creepy. That loop works pretty good, nice drums! Lot's of dope changes goin on...I like how the beat evolves constantly. Good job man!
AeorosolBreath - I'm a huge AeorosolBreath fan...I gotta say it. I love this beat...awesome bounce to it, got my head noddin somethin fierce! Love your filters, they smooth this out so it's got this awesome floating feel to it. (Like alot of your ish) This needs to be played loud in my car, for real. Great bassline, one of my faves here.
theyoungelohim9 - Like I was sayin, your work gets better every week. Alway fun to listen to your beats. The vox sample is pretty funny shit. Nice chopping, good drums! Good work man. Looking forward to hearing your stuff!
DeezSteez - This is some sparse ish...I'm liking the drums...those reverse fades are soundin good. There's some LFE ish going on later but mainly not much of a bassline to glue this together...oh wait there it is. It takes a little too long to come together. I do like the evolution though, by the end it sounds all kinds of dope. Good job!
There was a lot of variation in these beats, I think everyone did great work. It's hard for me to choose, but I think I will have to vote for AeorosolBreath. I can't argue with the nod of my head...
Thanks alot for the feedback and votes!! I really appreciate it!
Posted 15 December 2007 - 01:12 PM
Wiggy Wiggy Wiggy...can't you see...sometimes your beats just hypnotize me....lol...you got my vote cat.

thanks man, yeah i agree with that, used my last cd-r at the wrrrrrong time! definatly need to sort out my mastering techniques, working out glitches and stuff, got kinda impatient with it!
JustAnotherDJ - This beat is really out there...the volume is more than just low, though, it sounds like it has an envelope going up and down over the whole thing. It actually sounds fresh but just incomplete...it'd be cool if you could reassemble this into a better mix cuz there's a really dope beat underneath.
thanks man, thats really constructive commentry so much appreciated!
Posted 17 December 2007 - 01:53 PM
Oh let me intrduce myself... I'm I-Flip and i joined this forum looking for some beat battles, too bad i missed #43, but i'll be sure to take part on #44
Posted 17 December 2007 - 02:00 PM
Posted 18 December 2007 - 04:08 PM
LOL, yeah, JustAnotherDJ did get three votes...good job man, it took me like 4 or 5 battles to get one lousy vote...
hey man, welcome! just so you know, the board has had some posts deleated, so the voting was actaully closed. TKurata took it, (well done man) Wigmaster close behind.... (me third, jsut wanted to drop that in because my votes have dissapeared! I GOT 3! HONEST! ) anyway, check out the # 44 thread if thats survived!
Again, it sucks that very dope beats get zero votes sometimes cuz hardly anyone votes...I wish more people from the boards (who supposedly care so much about underground hip hop, if you will) would jump on here and listen to these beats. If you can't make the time, just listen to 30 seconds of each beat until something grabs ya. Throw down a vote if your ears light up.
What if PBW came on here and listened to the beats, or the winning beats or something? Surely he's a little curious...
Anyway welcome to the battles I-FLIP I listened to your music on myspace and read your story. Good to have ya here, I like your beats! They are smooth...

Generally speaking, to find , where f and g are polynomials, first try setting x= a.
If g(a) is not 0, then the limit is just f(a)/g(a).
If g(a)= 0 and f(a) is not 0, then the limit does not exist.
If both f(a)= 0 and g(a)= 0, then, yes, x- a must be a factor of both. Just divide the polynomials by x-a to find the other factor and cancel the x-a in numerator and denominator.
For (c), "rationalize the denominator" by multiplying both numerator and denominator by
For (d), use the fact that has limit 1 as a goes to 0. (Of course, "a", here, is "5x".)

Rated 5 out of 5�by Bubba Best Grip for your Driver!!! Feels soft and let's you control your driver!! Great grip, would recommend you trying and you won't be unhappy! August 31, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ray21 Product highly recommend I love the feel and durability of this grip. It also holds up good during wet play August 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by maxwell4 great grip This grip is great for someone who needs tension release or has some arthritis in the digits. Avery soft and supple product The young man At Dicks was most helpful. He also mused that I had clubs w/ offset heads.....he read about those in a golf history book. He told me todays technology is far better than just fixing 1 component of my game. July 19, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by jerry Great Grip It was suggested by a Graves Golf Acadamy golf pro that I use these grips on my clubs. Won a 5 wood at the Bristol Lions Club golf tournament. Put this grip on the 5 wood. These grips allow me to softly hold the clubs. I hit the clubs better now that I don't grip them tightly. July 12, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bigdjaia Great Grip at Best Price Dick's did a great job replacing my grips with the Winn Grips Clubs feel great in my hands!!!! June 14, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by alk402 Love this Grip I've been using these grips for a long time due to arthritis in my hands. The larger size and softness of the grip makes it easy to grip and the tacky surface aids in accomplishing a great feel when swinging the club. It also helps to offset the shock of hitting ground on the inaccurate swings when the club gets into the ground. These are without a doubt the grips to use if you have large hands or arthritic joints. I LOVE THIS GRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! April 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Hyeonturf Fantastic Grips The second best choice I have made Love these Grips . Prefect for not so much older players but anyone who just wants a fatter grip/ September 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by jim Fast and Friendly I use extra large grips on my clubs. I can walk in and get a new grip on a club in just a few moments. deals on balls and other equipment are as good as any where. September 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by pjr739 Great Grips The Winn Excel grips are excellent. Very comfortable while affording a firm grip. September 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jackie 28 Excellent Product These grips are excellent. They fit my large hands well. Also, these grips are soft and limit your hands from sliding. Highly recommend this product. September 10, 2014

Brighton – shot Smena 8m (former Russian spy camera)
Over the coupld of years Lomography has steadily becoming a huge trend amongst photography lovers in the UK.
Photographers of all levels are turning their backs on digital device to find something more fun, unique and different by using various type of analogue cameras – deadstocks from the Russian Soviet, toys, vintage and antiques.
What is Lomography?
It happened in the early 1990s when two Austrian students in Vienna discovered the Lomo Kompakt Automat, a small deadstock and enigmatic Russian camera. After their experimental shots they were impressed with the outcome, mind blowing photos with vibrant colours with deep satuation and vignettes that framed the shot like never seen before. This was the start of their movement…

Sears Holdings' Kmart division takes comps spotlight in December, quarter and YTD
January 11, 2011-- Home Textiles Today,
Hoffman Estates, Ill. - Sears Holdings Corporation reported slight comp declines for its total company and harsher deceases at its Sears stores, but made strides at its Kmart stores in December, its fourth quarter-to-date and its year-to-date results.
Specifically, comparable store sales were: at Kmart up 2.3% in December, up 3.4% quarter to date, and up 0.8% year to date; at Sears down 6.0% in December, down 5.3% quarter to date and down 3.8% year to date; and for the total company down 1.7% in December, down 1.1% quarter to date and down 1.6% year to date.
Home got some credit for part of Kmart's recent successes. The company explained Kmart's quarter-to-date comps "continued to benefit from our layaway program as well as from increases in the toys, home, sporting goods, apparel and footwear categories." But these increases were partially offset by declines in the food and consumables and pharmacy categories.
Sears Domestic's sales decline was primarily driven by the hardlines categories, the company continued. "Over half of the decline occurred in consumer electronics with appliances and tools also experiencing declines. In contrast, Sears' footwear, jewelry, and automotive categories generated comparable store sales growth during the quarter-to-date period."
As a result, the company expects net income attributable to Holdings' shareholders for the quarter ending January 29 to be between $370 million and $450 million, or between $3.39 and $4.12 per diluted share. The expectation of fourth quarter net income attributable to Holdings' shareholders and earnings per share attributable to Holdings' shareholders excludes the potential impact, if any, related to store closings and impairment charges, restructuring activities including severance, and mark-to-market gains and losses on hedge transactions executed by Sears Canada.
For the full fiscal year, ending Jan. 29, Sears Holdings expects net income attributable to Holdings' shareholders to be between $130 million and $210 million, or between $1.16 and $1.88 per diluted share, which also excludes the potential fourth quarter impact, if any, related to store closings and impairment charges, restructuring activities including severance, and mark-to-market gains and losses on hedge transactions executed by Sears Canada. F
The company currently plans to release financial results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal 2010 on or about Feb. 24 before the market opens.

Synthetic Benchmarks
Futuremark 3DMark06
The Radeon HD 4550 cannot match the GeForce 9500 GT in terms of overall score or in the individual groups of tests. The gap is smaller in the SM3.0/HDR tests due to the good computing capabilities of the new Radeon.
The SM2.0 tests agree with the overall scores but the gap is smaller in the second test. And in the second SM3.0/HDR test the Radeon HD 4550 is even better than the GeForce 9500 GT. The overall results are logical enough, confirming our supposition about the misbalance of the Radeon HD 4550 architecture: the card has rather advanced computing resources but a weak texture-mapping and rasterization subsystem.

Case Studies
Danish Robot Reduces Cost, Optimizes Production at Precision Engineering Company
Rising wages and the intricate management of the labour force have created a challenging work environment for a Singapore-based company, Sky Engineering. For a long time, this precision engineering company tried to reduce their production costs. They finally succeeded with the implementation of Universal Robots in one of their CNC
Robot saves man years at dairy
Iceland's biggest dairy, Mjólkursamsalan Akureyri, uses two UR5 robots in its production of milk products. Their deployment saves the dairy several man years of monotonous work every year.
The first UR5 robot was installed in September 2011 in connection with modifications to a cream cheese production line.
Multi-Application Robot Arm is 'Child's Play' to Programme
Traditional robots can substantially boost productivity but generally they are large devices that are application-specific and complex to programme. They need high production volumes to justify both capital cost and integration time. For a manufacturer new to robotics this can be off-putting and also uneconomical if products and batch sizes

My son is not going to a catholic school but on a christian school (See information about some well known schools). And so far so good, the values and knowledge he is learning is worth the money we are paying the school. They are teaching him discipline and respect towards other people specially to us parents. I saw his transition from being rebellious to being a responsible and respectful young man. We are very proud of him.

Over the past decade, Africa and other developing regions have been in the midst of tremendous changes. Market liberalisation and governmental decentralisation policies have interfaced with globalisation and urbanisation trends to dramatically transform social, political, economic and cultural lives. Agriculture can no longer remain behind-serving only to meet subsistence food needs. Agriculture has to become a dynamic and integral part of the market economy. If African agriculture is by-passed by the economic transformation going on world wide, then large numbers of Africans and perhaps all of Africa will remain poor and food insecure.
The fundamental purpose behind the FAO initiative to strengthening farm-agribusiness linkages is to help transform the agricultural sector in order to accelerate productivity growth, increase income and employment generation, improve food security, and increase competitiveness in regional and international trade.

In an interview with CBS today, President Obama covered a lot of different ground, with everything from football to health care to taxes to gays in the Boy Scouts being discussed at length. You can watch the interview, courtesy of CBS, here:
Naturally enough, the president made a number of statements that may raise eyebrows among observers, and as such, it behooves us to take a look at his various arguments and see which of them are accurate, and which are not. In short order, the president's major arguments are listed below, followed by our analysis:
#1. On Taxes: "I don't think the issue right now is raising rates. The question is, if we're gonna be serious about reducing our deficit, can we combine some smart spending cuts, 'cause there's still some waste in government…and can we lose some loopholes and deductions that folks who are well connected and have a lot of accountants and lawyers can take advantage of, so they end up paying lower rates than a bus driver and a cop…There is no doubt we need additional revenue coupled with smart spending reductions in order to bring down our deficit."

Kaleidoscope Dance Company
Amazing Dancers
by Katie Johnson
I saw something amazing this spring at Broadway Performance Hall, a professional dance concert. It was beautifully staged, and cleverly costumed, but that was only to be expected of a professional modern dance company. The varied music set off the varied and interesting choreography to perfection, but that wasn't unexpected enough to be amazing, either.
The amazing part was that nobody in the whole company of about thirty dancers was over fifteen years old, and the youngest ones were only eight.
The Valley View
by Katherine G. Bond
Never have I openly cried at a dance performance. Until now. After days of processing the Littleton violence, the April 25th performance by Kaleidoscope caught me by surprise.
….But the dance that left me weeping was "Oh, Be Gentle." Anne Green Gilbert combined American Sign Language with movement to offer a plea for gentleness toward all living things….this is why we need the arts….they have the power to heal us in ways we cannot explain. That's what dance and children are capable of doing.
The Seattle Weekly
by Lodi McClellan
For 18 years, Kaleidoscope Dance Company has performed its annual "Gift of Dance" concert without ever receiving a real review. Before last Sunday's performance I wasn't inclined to review it either. The reason is simple. Kaleidoscope is a company of 23 kids, ages 8-14. It didn't seem fair to scrutinize them with the same exacting standards reserved for a profesional troupe. I've had to rethink that assumption. The Kaleidoscope concert wasn't only good, it was refreshing and, somehow, important – a stunning reminder of how choregraphy as a manifestation of ideas can be more engaging that choreography as extension of ego or imitated steps. All credit goes to Anne Green Gilbert, Kaleidoscope's artistic director.
