Tanglewood will ask the million-dollar question, "Are you a Shark or a Jet?" as the BSO performs Leonard Bernstein's score from "West Side Story" on July 13. But, wait, there's lots more in store this season at the Boston Symphony Orchestra's summer home.
This year, the Tanglewood Music Festival will not only being making music. It will be making news.
For starters, conductor Andris Nelsons will lead the Boston Symphony Orchestra in a performance of the Verdi "Requiem" on July 27, marking his first appearance with the BSO since being appointed the orchestra's new music director.
Tanglewood will also ask the million-dollar question, "Are you a Shark or a Jet?" as the BSO performs Leonard Bernstein's score from "West Side Story" on July 13. But, wait, there's more as this music will be performed while the newly re-mastered 1961 film is being shown on large screens in high definition with the original vocals and dialogue. Cast members from the film will also be at the concert.
Mark Volpe, the BSO's managing director, notes that Bernstein was not only a Tanglewood regular, he launched his career at the festival. "We have a very personal relationship with Bernstein at Tanglewood," Volpe says. David Newman makes his BSO debut conducting this performance.
Other new offerings at Tanglewood include $20 tickets for attendees under 40 (ticket prices range from $30 to $105 for others) and the introduction of the BSO 101 Music Appreciation Series and "Underscore Fridays." The music appreciation series is free and will be led by BSO Director of Program Publications Marc Mandel with members of the BSO. It will take place on four Wednesdays (July 10, July 24, Aug. 7 and Aug. 21) from 12:45 to 2 p.m. in the Tanglewood Tent Club. The sessions will focus on a single work to be played by the BSO on each of those Tanglewood weekends, examining and illuminating aspects of musical shape and form, and of the composer's individual musical style.
All of these sessions will include recorded musical examples, and each is self-contained so that no prior musical training or attendance at any previous session is required. Attendees are encouraged to bring a lunch, though there will also be an option to buy lunch at the Tent Club.
The "Underscore Friday" series, meanwhile, will feature BSO musicians speaking from the stage about the evening's program prior to select Friday vening concerts during the season.
What isn't new this season is a performance by violinist Joshua Bell, who opens the festival on July 5 for his 25th consecutive summer since making his first guest appearance in 1989. He'll be performing the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos conducting the BSO in an all-Tchaikovsky concert.
Other highlights include:
The festival closes Aug. 25 with a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony under the baton of BSO Conductor Emeritus Bernard Haitink.
Located between Lenox and Stockbridge in western Massachusetts, Tanglewood has been the BSO's summer home since 1937.
"Every city of any consequence, whether it's Europe, South America, Asia or North America, has concert halls and we're very fortunate in Boston to have one of the better concert halls, if not that best," says Volpe. "Name a city and there's a concert hall or two in it. That being said, what makes the Boston Symphony absolutely unique in the world of orchestras is Tanglewood where you have this gestalt of music and nature. You have probably the preeminent summer training program for young musicians, typically in their 20s, and then you have this incredible festival where you have the Yo-Yo Mas, Pinchas Zukermans and Josh Bells of the world…. You have all these blockbuster artists and programs, and there's something for everyone. With this wide spectrum of music, almost anybody can find something of interest."

In Malaysia, Sambal Belacan is usually served as condiment for ikan bakar (grilled fish) along with assorted vegetables and herbs. I used to buy it from a local wet market regularly. A small tub (about two tablespoons) is priced at RM2.50 which I think is quite expensive considering it is only enough for one time consumption. Thus, I decided to make it at home.
It is easy to make with just handful ingredients but you do need a few practices to get the right ratio for all ingredients. The taste and the level of spiciness are very much depending on individual preferences. For the first few times I made it too spicy, we ate till as if our ears were smoking. From there, I learnt.
This sambal belacan recipe is adapted from Dapur Tanpa Sempadan, a blogger living in Southern Malaysia. Malay food lovers should head over to his blog for his wonderful traditional Malay dishes recipe.
8-10 Red Chili
5-10 Bird-eye Chili (add more if very spicy/hot sambal is desired)
1cm Belacan, toasted (5cm square)
Pinch of Sea Salt
Pinch of Sugar
Some onion slices for serving (optional)
Calamansi Lime for serving (can be substituted with lemon or other citrus juice)
- Pound two types of chili with mortar and pestle for a few seconds, then add in salt and sugar. Continue to pound until paste like texture is formed. It does not need to be very smooth.
- Add in belacan, pound and mix well.
- Serve with calamansi lime juice and some onion slices at the side.
- I like to use this sambal for cooking sambal vegetable such as kangkung and winged beans.
- Belacan must be toasted before use as this is a non-cook dish. Also, to enhance its aroma and taste.
- Beware, belacan can be smelly for the first timer. Well, even my mom does not like it.
- Serving guide: herbs/petai/winged bean - serve raw, okra - boiled, eggplant - grilled, seafood - grilled/deep-fried.

Money Management
The average gambler often overlooks the importance of setting up a budget before they start playing at online casinos. Overlooking this is one of the biggest common mistakes that people do when it comes to successful gambling! A budget should be set up before a player even enters the casino, and this is done to get a good view on how much you want to bet in regards to your bankroll, and also helps you to minimize your losses.
The number one key to gambling successfully is to never bet any more money than you can actually afford to lose. With today's technology, however, it's so simple and quick to deposit money in to a casino account, and many players forget about their economy and deposit money that should have been spent on other things. That is why players should always have set aside a certain amount of cash for the sole purpose of gambling before entering the casino, so that they have clear picture of how much they can spend. To make it even more systematical, set up a budget for each game that you plan to play during your session. In other words, if you have a bankroll of €200 and want to play blackjack and roulette, set a budget on €100 on each game. This way you won't get stuck in one game and you won't try to chase your losses in one game with the budget for the other game.
Knowing when to quit is another very important skill that every casino player should have in order to control their finances online. Often you will find that you hit a losing streak, and when this happens it's much better to walk away from the game and accept your loss, rather than trying to increase your bets in order to recover from your losses. The reason for this is that if you get angry when you loses, you are much more likely to act on emotions rather than logic, and logic is one of the most important weapons that we use to win at casino games. The same thing goes for winning streaks! You must realize that when you're on a roll, it's not going to go on forever, and eventually you will start losing again as the casino has a slight edge over the player. So make sure to stop playing and collect your winnings when you are on top!
By managing your bankroll properly, you limit the amount of money that risk losing at online casinos. If you go in with the mindset that it's okay to lose today's budget, as you can afford to lose it, it will be very beneficial. Winning or losing then becomes less important, and you can actually just enjoy the rush that you get from the games. See any additional winnings as a mere bonus!

Learn about Sir Walter Scott's Desk at Abbotsford in Melrose and the secret drawers that contained over 50 letters to his wife from before and after their wedding. Explore this historic artefact and more in the Scotland's History in 25 Objects eBook
From the rolling hills and moorland in the west to the gentle valleys and picturesque Berwickshire coastline in the east, it is easy to see why Sir Walter Scott was so enamoured with this peaceful region that he chose to build his beloved house, Abbotsford here.
Walking in this enthralling landscape, you can't help but imagine yourself transported back to the bygone world of Scott's sweeping romantic epics filled with daring outlaws and damsels in distress.
Historic heartland
The Scottish Borders has a colourful past which belies its serene landscape. The many stately homes, haunting castles and four magnificent abbeys are testament to its rich and occasionally turbulent history.
This unique heritage is kept alive at these wonderfully preserved monuments and through time-honoured traditions like the Common Ridings, the oldest horse-riding festival in the world.
The perfect balance
Many retreat to the Scottish Borders for a gentler pace of life filled with revitalising outdoor pursuits and sports including fishing, golf and walking. But it's not all peace and quiet. Alongside these more sedate activities there is riveting mountain biking to be had at the two 7stanes centres as well as off-road quad biking, archery and tree-top adventures at Go Ape!
Natural larder
The region's picturesque rural setting and unspoilt coastline means that local chefs don't have to look far for sourcing tantalisingly fresh fruit and vegetables from nearby farms, succulent meats from locally-reared livestock and freshly-caught seafood.
There's an abundance of tasty food and drink in the Scottish Borders - take one of the area's foodie trails and get stuck in!

Role of Dyrk1A in Tau Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease
Fei Liu, Ph.D.
Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene, Inc. at New York State Institute for Basic Research
New York, New York
2010 Investigator-Initiated Research Grant
Tau is a protein found in nerve cells that normally functions to help maintain cell structure and to help transport nutrients throughout the cell. In persons with Alzheimer's disease, however, tau becomes abnormally modified by the addition of excess chemical phosphate groups (phosphorylation). Excess phosphorylation of tau causes it to form neurofibrillary tangles, one of the characteristic features of Alzheimer pathology.
Dyrk1A (dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A) is another protein found in nerve cells, and it is known to phosphorylate tau. Fei Liu, PhD and colleagues have observed that Dyrk1A is found in an abnormal form in the brains of persons with Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, the presence of abnormal Dyrk1A was associated with high levels of tau phosphorylation.
Dr. Liu and colleagues have proposed to study the role of Dyrk1A in the development of neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease. They will study how modification of Dyrk1A during the disease process affects the phosphorylation of tau, as well as the expression of different forms of tau. These studies will provide insights into how abnormal Dyrk1A contributes to the development of Alzheimer pathology, and they may lead to the identification of new strategies for preventing or slowing the development of disease.

On the heels and in the midst of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, 2010 was one of the more interesting years in financial markets. Here, with some help from our readers, we attempt to list the most influential people and events that shaped this unique year in markets. We suspect that we missed some, and we are sure your list may be different, but this is what we have come up with. We welcome your input in the online comment section.
Barack Obama, President of the United States. With the backing of a Democrat controlled Congress, Obama was able to pass the controversial Health Care bill and sweeping financial reform with the intention of removing systemic risk from the nation's financial centers.
Republican landslide. Taking advantage of the slow pace of recovery and fueled by anger generated by the Tea Party movement over bailouts and Health Care reform, the GOP produced a massive shift in Congress, putting John Boehner (Rep. Ohio) in the Speaker's chair.
Barney Frank/Chris Dodd, Chairs of financial committees during 111th Congress. Dodd and Frank co-authored the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Its passage brought the largest reform to the United States financial centers since the Great Depression.
Jean-Claude Trichet, President of the European Central Bank. Throughout 2010, Europe was rocked with multiple sovereign debt crises as a number of the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain) faced the possibility of default. Under Trichet, the European Central Bank bailed out Greece and Ireland.
AngelA Merkel, Chancellor of Germany. Not only is Germany Europe's largest economy, it is also its most prosperous and stable one. While decisions over the solvency of Europe's peripheral countries are made in Brussels, they must go through Merkel as well.
Hu Jintao, President and Paramount Leader of People's Republic of China. The title should tell you all you need to know. U.S. leaders have been trying to twist his arm to float the Chinese yuan. But when you are the world's largest creditor, you get to do the arm twisting.

Two teenagers a world apart, but with one objective in mind, have inspired the Okanagan College Faculty Association to support international efforts to educate girls.
At its November meeting, members of the OCFA condemned the recent Taliban shooting of 15-year-old student Malala Yousafzai for being a vocal proponent of education for girls in Pakistan.
The OCFA also voted to donate $1,000 to the Little Women for Little Women in Afghanistan—a non-profit society launched by 15-year-old Alaina Podmorow from Kelowna to help educate girls in Afghanistan as a way to peace.
"We're putting our money where our hearts are," said OC history professor Howard Hisdal, who made both resolutions.
"These girls are shining examples of leadership. They are showing vision and courage, and to a certain extent they are accomplishing what some of our Western governments haven't managed to do so well."
Hisdal, who also serves in the Canadian military as a reservist, said some of his friends in the Forces have been to Afghanistan and believe change rests with the future of women there.
"One of my female military colleagues said the women continue to be kept in ignorance," he said.
"The best chance for long-term success in these campaigns is the education of women."
English professor Norah Bowman-Broz, who sits on the OCFA council as the Status of Women representative, said supporting the Little Women non-profit organization is a particularly relevant and contemporary donation.
"Broadly speaking, we want to eliminate gender inequities around the world, and in Canada as well," she said. "It's also important to us that Little Women is a secular charity. This is about valuing education for everyone."
OCFA president Sharon Josephson said contributing to Little Women underlines the faculty's commitment to the principles of education, human rights and democracy—especially for those who are less advantaged, regardless of where they live.
"This is something we can be proud of," Hisdal added.
The Okanagan College Faculty Association represents approximately 275 faculty members at the college.

Jan 3, 2012 - As land and water become scarce, as the earth's temperature rises, and as world food security deteriorates, a dangerous geopolitics of food scarcity is emerging, writes Lester Brown
Growing demand for food and fuel has put pressure on the world's agricultural lands to produce more. Now, a trend in "land grabbing" has emerged, as wealthy countries lease or buy farms and agribusiness in poorer countries to ensure their own future supplies. The result may be further economic disparities and even "food wars."

Salem-based charitiy's dance-a-thon to benefit local homeless families
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
SALEM - On May 11, in the middle of National Nurses Week, the Northeast Rehabilitation Hospital's nursing team will host a special dance-a-thon to benefit Family Promise of Greater Rockingham County, a local not-for-profit charity that helps homeless families get back on their feet.
The Salem-based charity, which meets monthly at Triumphant Cross Lutheran Church, was formed to help homeless families in Atkinson, Auburn, Chester, Danville, Derry, Hampstead, Kingston, Londonderry, Newton, Pelham, Plaistow, Salem, Sandown and Windham.
Participating congregations take turns hosting families. On average, the churches will have overnight guests for about one week every few months.
During the host week, volunteers cook and serve meals, play with children and offer friendship and support to adults.
Organized by the hospital's Nurse of the Year Karen Bohnwagner and Licensed Nursing Assistant of the Year Lisa Robert, the 12-hour dance-a-thon will begin at 10 a.m. at William T. Barron School in Salem. During the dance-a-thon, participants will form their own teams and themes while gathering sponsors for each hour of dancing.
Staff from the hospital's three locations will be on hand to get the dance in full swing, with nursing supervisor Dourriya Jefferji offering massages to participants and physician Tom Cody playing bass guitar with his band, Nighttime Urgency.
Drs. Srirangam Padmanadhan and James Whitlock will whip up tasty Indian delicacies, while fellow doctor Elizardo Carandang will lead participants on the dance floor.
Opening remarks will be given by this year's Ganley Award winner, the Rev. David Yasenka and Northeast Rehabilitation Hospital pastoral care coordinator Henry Fardella, with Bob Gibbs of the Salem Kripalu Yoga Studio helping participants warm up for the day.
DJ Brian and DJ Chris of A & B Music have volunteered to play the entire night.
Professional photographer Stacy Maynard, a respiratory therapist in Salem, will be capturing all of the excitement on camera.
Hospital spokesman Naomi Gardener said the event, the first of its kind, has already drawn support from businesses and community members.
"Hopefully we'll continue to help make a difference in our community," Gardener said.

Pope Benedict XVI's easing of restrictions on use of the 1962 Roman Missal, sometimes called the Tridentine rite, is just the first step in a "reform of the reform" in liturgy, the Vatican's top ecumenist said. The pope's long-term aim is not simply to allow the old and new rites to coexist but to move toward a "common rite" that is shaped by the mutual enrichment of the two Mass forms, Cardinal Kurt Koch, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, said on May 14.
In effect, the pope is launching a new liturgical reform movement, the cardinal said. Those who resist it, including "rigid" progressives, mistakenly view the Second Vatican Council as a rupture with the church's liturgical tradition, he said.
Anthony Ruff, O.S.B., expressed surprise at the cardinal's suggestion that more liturgical changes were forthcoming. Father Ruff teaches liturgy, liturgical music and Gregorian chant at St. John's University School of Theology-Seminary in Collegeville, Minn., and is a primary contributor to the popular Pray/Tell blog. "It is quite astounding," he said, "to hear explicitly of the intention to undo the liturgical reforms since Vatican II and redo them in some more traditional manner, although we don't know yet what that means concretely. This gives liturgists much to think about and worry about."
Cardinal Koch made his remarks at a conference in Rome on "Summorum Pontificum," Pope Benedict's apostolic letter of 2007 that offered wider latitude for use of the Tridentine rite. Cardinal Koch said Pope Benedict thinks the post-Vatican II liturgical changes have brought "many positive fruits" but also problems, including a focus on purely practical matters and a neglect of the paschal mystery in the eucharistic celebration. The cardinal said it was legitimate to ask whether liturgical innovators had deliberately gone beyond the council's stated intentions.
He said this explains why Pope Benedict has introduced a new reform movement, beginning with "Summorum Pontificum." The aim, he said, is to revisit Vatican II's teachings in liturgy and strengthen certain elements, including the Christological and sacrificial dimensions of the Mass. He said "Summorum Pontificum" is "only the beginning of this new liturgical movement.
"In fact, Pope Benedict knows well that, in the long term, we cannot stop at a coexistence between the ordinary form and the extraordinary form of the Roman rite, but that in the future the church naturally will once again need a common rite," he said. "However, because a new liturgical reform cannot be decided theoretically but requires a process of growth and purification, the pope for the moment is underlining above all that the two forms of the Roman rite can and should enrich each other," he said.

Danica missed early chance for more Cup history
Danica Patrick made history by becoming the first woman to start from the pole in a NASCAR Cup race.
But, in the beginning of the Daytona 500, she failed to pull off another landmark.
Choosing the outside spot on the front row, Patrick gave up the lead to Jeff Gordon on the very first lap.
Therefore, she missed out on an early chance to become the first female to lead a Cup lap.
Over the first 10 laps, she settled in behind Gordon and held on to the second spot in the 43-car field.
Patrick went on the radio before the race to thank her crew for giving her such a strong car. "I'll do best job I can to do my end of the deal today," she said. "All in all, thank you for everything. You guys are awesome."

DRIVERS AND WHO?: "Drivers ... and Danica!!! ... start your engines."
With that unique command, actor James Franco has ordered the 43 cars to fire up for the Daytona 500.
The duty is normally carried out with the most famous words in racing: "Gentlemen, start your engines."
Of course, this year is different. Danica Patrick is the first woman to start from the pole in a Cup race, and Franco hinted beforehand that he was planning an audible. As unpredictable as ever, he passed on a chance to copy the command that was used when Patrick raced in the Indianapolis 500, "Lady and gentlemen, start your engines."
Now, it's time to go racing at Daytona.

A HEARTY BUNCH: NASCAR FANS RETURN TO DANGER ZONE: Say this about NASCAR fans: They don't frighten easily.
One day after a harrowing crash injured dozens of fans in the stands, those same seats are filling up for the Daytona 500.
No one seems too concerned.
"These should be good seats," said Rick Barasso, as he settled into a spot that was right in the danger zone when Kyle Larson's car slammed into the catch fencing on the final lap of a Nationwide Series race Saturday. "I mean, what are the chances of it happening again?"
That seems to be the attitude of the fans heading into the Daytona 500, the season-opening Cup race and biggest event on the NASCAR schedule. Most people say it's worth the risk to sit next to the ear-rattling action — no more than 20 feet away for those in the first row. They love to hear the engines, smell the exhaust, and feel the wind whipping in their face as 43 cars go by at nearly 200 mph.
Still, there are a few fans fretting about the location of their seats.
Raymond Gober returned to the same location where he was nearly struck by a bolt from Larson's car. He scooped up the debris as a souvenir, though he acknowledged being a little nervous about his seat on the back row of the lower level. He even considered wearing his motorcycle helmet to the 500, but figured "everybody would start laughing at me." Next year, he plans to buy an upper-level seat in the main grandstand.
"My dad called and said, 'You're sitting in the same seats? "' Gober said. "He couldn't believe it."
There are grim reminders of what happened Saturday: a bloody spot that had been washed down (not entirely, though), a tire mark on a seat, another seat that was partially bent from getting struck by that same tire.

HALion / HALionPlayer - Comparison + Top Features
HALion Player vs HALion 3
HALion Player has a much reduced User Interface compared to HALion, for example it lacks HALions Browser, Waveloop-, Keyzone- and Modulation-setup Editor. Though HALion Player can load even the most complex HALion 3 Programs, the creation of complete new Programs is limited to the present basic sound parameters. This is just fine, as HALion Player is targeted towards existing Library Users and Sampling beginners.
HALion Player supports loading native HALion Content in fxp /fxb / HSB format and Import of Wav / AIF / Rex / Rex2 / Zgr files, while HALion allows importing almost every Sample Format available.
HALion Player allows only restricted access to sound shaping Parameters via Q-Controls (up to 8 per program - pre-defined in HALion 3.1). If no pre-defined Parameters are present HALion Player defaults to the most basic Parameters like cutoff, resonance and envelope settings, for example for imported Samples. Q-Control target parameters can be changed only in HALion, not in HALion Player.

Mr Saleh was posted to Garissa as the Provincial Police Commissioner in 2001.
The town was still stuck in the Shifta war years (between 1960s and 1980s) when the government concentrated more on suppressing secessionist ideas and the subsequent tendrils.
Security was shambolic and vehicles travelling to Garissa required police escort to fight away bandits who would frequently attack and rob travellers on the stretch between Ukasi, 130km away on the road towards Thika.
Mr Saleh's approach to ending this wave of fear involved making everybody responsible for security.
Clans living on stretches prone to banditry were tasked with identifying and warning the criminals.
Mr Saleh, who is Kenya's ambassador to Saudi Arabia, is credited with using the Somalis' elaborate clan system to gradually implement a model of community policing that has worked to date.
Vehicles no longer need police escort, often even as they travel through the gateway to North Eastern Province up to Wajir and farther north to Mandera.
"All the money that used to go to security was channelled towards development," says Idriss Ali, a trader at Soq Mugdi (which means Black Market because of the black sacking used as shades).
Mr George Ali, the local police boss, told us there is no petty crime in Garissa.
In 2010, Interpol rated the town the safest in East and Central Africa, which is evidenced by the fact that it is a thriving commercial centre. Garissa never suffers water shortages, as the Garissa Water and Sewerage Company draws its water from River Tana.
Farmers too are carrying out irrigation to great effect.
With its status as a gateway to North Eastern Province, Garissa has experienced a spur of growth, and investors have obviously put plenty of money into the town.
Almond Resort and Nomad Palace Hotel are among the best hotels there.
For Abdullahi Salat, who chairs the Supreme Council of Kenyan Muslims in Garissa, the increased insecurity is a natural consequence of the incursion into Somalia.
"We were totally against the forces going into Somalia. When you're in a war, and you have invaded a country, you must prepare for the consequences," he said.
Mr Salat was among a group of leaders from North Eastern Province who met President Kibaki at Harambee House in a bid to have him stop Operation Linda Nchi, saying Garissa would bear the brunt of Al-Shabaab's retaliation.
The President is reported to have explained that the incursion mattered a lot to Kenya and Africa as a whole.

Shares of Pfizer's animal health business, Zoetis, surged in their trading debut Friday after the company's initial public offering of stock raised $2.2 billion — the largest IPO by a U.S. company since Facebook Inc. raised $16 billion last May.
Zoetis shares, trading under the "ZTS" ticker, rose 19 percent, or $5.01, to close at $31.01.
Investors may have been attracted to the animal health company because of its growth potential as people in developed countries spend more on their pets and farmers in developing countries raise more livestock to satisfy growing demand for meat as consumers' incomes rise. Prices are also stable because insurance plans are rarely involved in setting them, and generic competition is rare.
The spinoff is part of Pfizer's ongoing effort to appease shareholders. Many have been unhappy since Pfizer, the world's largest drugmaker by revenue, halved its 32-cent dividend four years ago to help fund its $68 billion acquisition of Wyeth. Pfizer also sold off its nutrition business for $11.5 billion late last year and has been gradually increasing the dividend, so far to 24 cents.
The proceeds from the Zoetis IPO went to retire Pfizer debt.
Pfizer Inc. sold 86.1 million shares for $26 apiece, $1 above the top end of the $22 to $25 range it had estimated for Zoetis. That left it with an ownership stake of at least 80 percent in Zoetis. Pfizer is likely to cut back its stake with further stock sales, said Scott Sweet, senior managing partner at IPOBoutique.com, which invests in IPOs and advises other investors on the deals.
With annual sales of about $4.2 billion, Zoetis Inc. is the world's largest maker of medicines for pets and farm animals. It invests $400 million in research and development per year, which its CEO, Juan Ramon Alaix, the former president of Pfizer Animal Health, said is the most in the industry. The company is using that money to create new medicines and vaccines, along with new formulations and uses for some current products, and combination medicines.
Among its innovations, as part of Pfizer, the company created an injectable medicine for common bacterial skin infections in dogs and cats, Alaix said in an interview. The one shot spared pet owners the chore of forcing pills down the throat of their dog or cat three times a day, often for weeks, as required with older drugs. It also developed the first Lyme disease vaccine for dogs and a new vaccine to combat Hendra virus, which infects horses and can be transferred to humans.
Like Pfizer and other makers of medicines for people, Zoetis plans to expand in emerging markets such as China to increase growth.
Zoetis is currently based in Madison, N.J., at a campus shared with other Pfizer businesses, but Alaix said it will relocate at some point within New Jersey.
Pfizer shares rose 35 cents, or 1.3 percent, to end at $27.63.

Grant Morrison is at ease with the prospect of other dimensions. As an acclaimed comic book writer and superhero behaviorist, he's traveled widely amid the disparate worlds of DC Comics, Marvel and characters of his own creation. It gets complicated out there.
Nowhere have things been more entangled with cosmic implications than DC (ancestral home to Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman), evolving into a web of universes that over the decades has expanded and collapsed through various "Crisis" series — and, most recently, in the 2011 revamping called the New 52.
Morrison has now been charged with making sense of DC's Multiverse of 52 Earths, creating stories and a road map with various artists in a monthly series debuting this week with "The Multiversity" No. 1. It will be followed by standalone comics that take a startlingly diverse look at the publisher's historic titles and characters, and will end with "The Multiversity" No. 2.
"I love the idea of parallel worlds," says Morrison, 54, who slowly sketched out his ideas over the last five years while working on other projects. "I haven't been doing this every day. It hasn't been like the Sistine Chapel. This was always the project that I kept in the back of my mind. Most of my work is almost like live performance — you do it, put it out and move on. This I could go back to."
At his apartment in West Hollywood, Morrison's head is shaved and he wears a red pullover with black web design that looks like a tribute to Marvel's Spider-Man, but insists he's never liked the character. On a nearby table is a colorful "Map of the Multiverse," to help explain each of DC's known Earths.
The multiple realities are an essential part of the DC tradition, the best known being the cube-shaped Bizarro world first revealed in 1960, where all logic and behavior is the opposite of Superman's Earth. Prior to that, the need for additional worlds came as the Golden Age (pre-1960s) of comics transitioned into a more modern Silver Age, beginning with a sleek redesign of the Flash.
The original Flash, in his winged mercury helmet, was now said to be in his 40s and retired on Earth-2, while the new Flash in red tights battled crime on Earth-1. The new Flash could travel between dimensions simply by tuning the frequency of his vibrations.
"There was a tendency at DC toward the idea of multiplication of characters and energies – and lots of Flashes, and young Flashes, and Baby Superman," explains Morrison. "They always did that stuff."
On the map, virtually anything ever published by DC is accounted for within one of the worlds, but there is tension and mayhem from the opening pages of "The Multiversity" No. 1, depicting a violent apocalypse of psychedelic proportions as heroes are defeated en masse.
Other worlds offer vivid reinventions of DC icons, including one where Batman and other Justice League heroes are vampires, an idea initiated in "Batman & Dracula: Red Rain," a graphic novel by Doug Moench and Kelley Jones from the "Elseworlds" books outside regular DC continuity. Another has heroes as characters in the old west in "this steampunk thing of unicorns and steaming chimneys," says Morrison.
In the opening "Multiversity" story, travel between these mind-bending dimensions is on a ship made of "frozen music."
"I think people find the notion of a 'what if' always interesting," says Morrison. "What if the Nazis won World War II, and what if it was with Superman's help? I think people just like those types of stories. What if it was a world of reverse gender, and it was Batwoman and Superwoman and Wonder Man?"
There is a world of talking anthropological animals, including a hero called Captain Carrot, and another of the classic DC heroes as re-imagined by Marvel mastermind Stan Lee. Seven of the worlds are deliberately left "unknown."
"There always has to be a mystery," says Morrison. "It wouldn't be much fun if you explained everything."
Much of the following Morrison's work enjoys is for his original comics titles, from "The Invisibles" in the 1990s to 2012's "Happy!" miniseries. But it remains a special thrill and a privilege to work with these characters of DC and Marvel, he says, taking memorable runs with the likes of Batman, Superman and the X-Men.
"They are like handling priceless artifacts," says Morrison, who explored the superhero cultural phenomenon in a 2011 nonfiction book, "Supergods: What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human."
"I spend a lot of time in superhuman heads. You have to think [like] Batman, and everything should be intricate and creepy and bizarre. It's quite paranoid. Superman, on the other hand, is this radiant 'everything is right, and everyone is beautiful, and I'm going to do my best to help.' That's how Superman feels. These are pure characters. They're archetypes."
Morrison is also not working alone, but building on what came before during about 75 years of joint effort: "You're participating with everyone who's added to this."
Morrison lives with his wife, Kristen, mainly in Scotland, but spends four months of the year in Southern California, visiting with friends, meeting about potential TV or film projects, devoting one weekend to San Diego's Comic-Con International. He does all his writing in Scotland.
"I come out here and everyone is working on stories, doing music, doing theater, painting," he says. "Everyone's doing stuff and the energy is quite exciting. Then I go home and work in this town in the country for the next four months — it's kind of like 'The Shining.'"
His original dream was to be a traditional writer of books, but comics began to obsess him at 12. "I was an awakening adolescent. OK, I'm suddenly into something – I'm a geek."
He entered the professional comics world at an exciting time in the mid-1980s, as new ideas were explored and old boundaries pushed in Frank Miller's grim Batman saga "The Dark Knight Returns" and Alan Moore's provocative "Watchmen," among many others. Morrison's 1989 Batman graphic novel "Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth" was a story immersed in criminal madness amid illustrations of violent splashes of paint (instead of traditionally drawn panels) by Dave McKean.
Some of that energy was coming from a previously unknown crowd of creators in the British Isles, he says.
"There were so many people building up a pressure cooker of creativity. They wanted to get their hands on these characters they had grown up with. It was a floodgate. The talent was there waiting, and it was enough to make it look like a movement.
"There were a lot of outlets and we could express ourselves any way we wanted," he continues. "It was a time in American comics when the underground was coming back to life. Alan Moore was discovered and suddenly they discovered a whole bunch of us."
While some of the new work explored possible outcomes if costumed heroes existed in the real world, Morrison had less interest in that line of thinking.
'To me, that's the craziest question ever," he says with a smile. "I've always resisted that because I think they couldn't exist in the real world. And any attempt to be realistic becomes farcical no matter how good it is. That's always been my position. To me the only reality these things have is on paper or on screen."

The global biosimilars market is segmented on the basis of products, applications, and services. By product, the global biosimilars market is further segmented into recombinant non-glycosylated proteins (insulin, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), interferon, and human growth hormone), recombinant glycosylated proteins (erythropoietin, monoclonal antibodies, and follitropin), and recombinant peptides (glucagon and calcitonin). The recombinant glycosylated proteins segment is the largest segment and accounts for a share of 40% of the global biosimilars market in 2013at an estimated $314.2 million and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.5% from 2013 to 2018. The biggest factor behind the growth of this segment is the increasing demand for second-wave biosimilar products, such as insulin and interferon, for the treatment of diabetes and infectious disorders.Of all segments under the product category, the monoclonal antibodies segment is the fastest-growing segment at an estimated CAGR of more than 40% from 2013 to 2018.
By application, oncology is the largest and fastest-growing segment and accounts for a share of 25%of the global biosimilars market. This is attributed to the increasing prevalence of oncology along with the rise in aging population and the changing lifestyle.
Europe dominates the global biosimilars market with around 40% share in 2013. The factors driving the European market are its well-defined regulatory guidelines; presence of various biosimilar drugs such as omnitrope, tevagrastim, and binocrits; numerous pipeline products; and more than 15 biologics going off-patent in the coming years. Although the penetration of biosimilars varies by country, it also depends on various other factors, including local pricing and reimbursement policies, stakeholder influence, and attitudes towards the adoption and use of biosimilars. Currently, Germany commands the highest share in the European market due to the presence of a reference pricing system.
The U.S., on the other hand, has a very restricted biosimilars market owing to the stringent regulatory environment in North America. The Asia-Pacific market is estimated to be the fastest-growing market. Asia-Pacific accounts for an overall share of 29% of the global biosimilars market. This large share of the market is mainly due to the semi-regulatory environment of the region that easily approves similar biologics in the market. In addition, low manufacturing costs and the presence of highly skilled expertise at low costs are also factors that make Asia-Pacific a lucrative destination for the biosimilars market.
The factors restricting the growth of the market are high manufacturing complexities and costs, stringent regulatory environment in the U.S. and Europe, innovative strategies used by biologic drug manufacturers to protect their intellectual property, costly purification process, arrival of biobetters, and the presence of low-priced biogenerics that compete with biosimilars in the market.
The key players in the biosimilars market are Sandoz (Germany), Hospira (U.S.), Teva (Israel), Dr. Reddy's Laboratories (India), Biocon Ltd. (India), Mylan (U.S.), Biopartners (Switzerland), Amgen (U.S.), Intas Biopharmaceultical Ltd. (India), and Innovent Biologics, Inc. (U.S.). In 2013, Sandoz is the highest contributor (50%) to the global biosimilars market.

NEMA endorses legislation to spur energy storage technologies.
Press Release Summary:
On behalf of its Energy Storage Council, NEMA applauded Rep. Chris Gibson (R-NY) and Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) for introducing legislation to promote adoption of energy storage technologies. HR 4096 would offer 20% investment tax credit to energy storage used in connection with power grid, with no project eligible to receive more than $40 million.

Original Press Release:
NEMA Endorses House Legislation to Spur Energy Storage Technologies
ROSSLYN, Va., -The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) on behalf of its Energy Storage Council today applauded Rep. Chris Gibson (R-NY) and Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) for introducing legislation to promote adoption of state-of-the-art energy storage technologies.
The Storage Technology for Renewable and Green Energy Act of 2012 (STORAGE 2012) is a
set of investment tax credits to promote adoption of the spectrum of energy storage technologies. Batteries, flywheels, superconducting magnetic energy storage, and other technologies would all be eligible under the legislation.
"Storing electricity when demand is low and supplying it when consumers most need it improves the efficiency of the grid, increases reliability, and reduces the need for additional generation," said NEMA President and CEO Evan R. Gaddis. "The technologies and applications of energy storage are numerous and this bill takes great care not to pick technology winners and losers."
This bill, HR 4096, would offer a 20 percent investment tax credit to energy storage used in connection with the power grid, with no project eligible to receive more than $40 million. To promote efficiency and distributed generation in the commercial and residential markets, the bill offers a 30 percent credit (up to $1 million) for on-site application of energy storage.
Energy storage meets the needs of consumers: rate minimization due to a reduced need to invest in new generation, efficiency of grid operations, integration of renewables, lowered emissions, and energy management and security.
"The number of established players and entrepreneurs in the energy storage space displays that these technologies are both here now and have great promise for revolutionary development going forward," said Jim Creevy, NEMA director of government relations. "This bill and its Senate counterpart (S 1845) provide the U.S. with the opportunity to make this country the center of energy storage development and production."
NEMA is the association of electrical equipment and medical imaging manufacturers, founded in 1926 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. Its member companies manufacture a diverse set of products including power transmission and distribution equipment, lighting systems, factory automation and control systems, and medical diagnostic imaging systems. Worldwide annual sales of NEMA-scope products exceed $120 billion.
