Tour Recap

The Tour de France uploaded their 3-week recap edit yesterday and just watched it while working on Issue 27 of our magazine and before MTB in Colorado this weekend.

Tour de France: On the Podium

Best possible close to this Tour…Sagan machine gunning the crowd while Froome disapproves. As Jason Dul said, “Froome, in this vid, reminds me of Lee Trevino’s disapproval in Happy Gilmore.”

Our Tour de France Take

Our enthusiasm for the Tour this year ended at Stage 10 and Nathan Wright wrote about why in the Medium Bicycles Collection. His essay will appear in Issue 27 next month with more of our take on the tour. Did keep curating select tweets and watched the dramatic finale…

Scott 27.5+ Bikes

The story, besides the Foil and new CX bike, from Scott Week in Deer Valley is 27.5+ and it’s for when the dirt isn’t hero and you want traction, and control. More stories about the Genius LT Tuned and the rest of the 2016 bikes from Scott Sports will appear in the next issue of our magazine. We wrote about 27.5+ previously on the blog and Medium. After Park City and Vegas in a week, resting up this weekend, and then heading to Colorado for more mountain biking….

Collisionable Moments

A photo posted by Byron (@bikehugger) on

The bike takes us to many places; including Tony Hsieh’s Airstream Park in Vegas where we had collisionable moments with the residents, including Marley the llama. We’ll ride in Vegas again for our annual Mobile Social Interbike. Maybe Marley will join us?

Found: New Profile Elite Race Cranks

The brand new Profile Elite Cranks, which have been a long time in the making, finally hit shelves last month. The cranks are made in St. Petersburg, Florida, USA  from 4340 heat-treated chromoly and utilize a unique “Wedge Lock” system to mount the cranks arms.

The design uses an “internal pinch bolt” tightened to 15-18 ft lbx max with a 10mm allen bolt. An anodized aluminum end bolt is then threaded into the axle to things snug and looking sharp.The four bolt 6061 aluminum spider sits on a steel splined drive insert.

Hope past the break to see a pricing, weight, and more photos. Including the fancy “keepsake metal box with original lithograph artwork by Adi Gilbert of Profile’s owner Jim Alley welding Elite crankarms.”

The cranks arms are available in 175mm and 180mm lengths and the spider/BB/ and threaded cap can be purchased in black, blue gold, red. and silver. Claimed weight is 39.3 oz (w/ BB) and retail is a painful $489.95 USD.

Velonomaniac - 11/21/12 - 5:00am

Looks kind of “neat”, but is that all there is to this crank? >1,100g!

Avi - 11/21/12 - 7:34am

Come on guys…proofread before posting!

Shane - 11/21/12 - 8:26am

Seriously weighing in OZ? Who the hell does that anymore.
1114.1g holy crap, but then again it doesn’t say what their intended purpose is.

Collin - 11/21/12 - 8:36am

@Shane, I was thinking the same thing, but for a BMX crank, I would say that weight isn’t too much of an issue. As long as its super stiff, then who cares. If it was for BMX racing (which I assume due to the larger then a free style setup front ring) I would assume that BMXs have a hard time staying under the UCI weight minimum.

Juan - 11/21/12 - 9:04am

If you’re griping about the weight, you’re not the intended audience. As a guy who’s ridden Profiles for more years than most, this is good stuff. Never had issues with the arms or spindles snapping, and they’ve taken care of my only gripe, the arm to spindle interface, by smoothing it over and making it ankle friendlier. These are definitely a good looking BMX race crank, so my only q is can it be used for freestyle 20’s or my dj MTB (running a 26t), or are ya stuck with a 104 spider and a 32t chainring?

Grumpy Old Wrench - 11/21/12 - 9:05am

The BMX bikes for the big kids and pros are in no danger of going under the UCI weight limit- 19 lbs. is the lightest one in a pro/pro xl size I can remember working on. Now for the little guys, 10 lbs or less is not unheard of.

Ydnar - 11/21/12 - 9:27am

Chris - 11/21/12 - 9:53am

Profile likes to keep it American with oz. Their hubs, while very nice, have a 5/16 allen bolt. So close to 8mm but not quite. Sucks when you have a flat and forget your allen key because your buds are sure to not have one.

jimxwill - 11/21/12 - 10:06am

This is the weight for the cranks, bb, and spider. This is light compared to most BMX cranks. The price is on par with the Shimano DXR BMX cranks that the pros love. These are built from chromoly, with a chromoly axle, and come with a lifetime warranty. Don’t forget, they are made in the USA! I will take the extra 5 ounces to have the removable spider, too.

satisFACTORYrider - 11/21/12 - 11:16am

would be cool if compatible to use on my 26 djer or even a 1X 4X /slope bike.

Ilikebmx999 - 11/21/12 - 11:19am

Profile cranks suck unless you’re a pure racer. I’ve bent countless arms and twisted just as many spindles. There are cheaper, lighter and stronger cranks out there.

tae - 11/21/12 - 11:32am

Looks like it has a standard 48 spline spindle so you may be able to use 48 spline BMX sprockets.

tae - 11/21/12 - 11:46am

Never mind – Profile’s website says 22mm spindle.

dale - 11/21/12 - 12:44pm

Man I remember being a kid in early 80s with a one piece crank and going racing every weekend with my older neighbors who all had flight cranks and profiles. The old flights were like the ultimate upgrade for a race bike. My two neighbors were so fast they had full sponsorship from GHP and had a new frame almost every week. Profile, Robinson, GHP, Redline… man that stuff was all like gold. It’s weird to see these cranks get dissed so hard, but I do understand.

Spencer - 11/21/12 - 10:09pm

Not a bad weight for bikes of burly use, but those bikes don’t use 175mm or 180mm. So I’m lost.

bin judgin' - 11/22/12 - 3:21pm

165 for DH and 170 for DJ please!

Mindless - 11/23/12 - 1:57am

39.3 oz WTF is that? Grams please.

Mindless - 11/23/12 - 2:02am

I liked my Flybikes cranks better to Profiles on my BMX, but I have no frigging idea why one would not just buy bulletproof Shimano for less money and weight for anything else.

Stupid British bolts and mesures should disappear.

Update: Bolthouse Farms and the Bolthouse Foundation are connected

Filed By Alex Blaze | June 27, 2008 11:00 AM | comments

Filed in: Fundie Watch, Living, The Movement
Tags: Bolthouse, Bolthouse Farms, Bolthouse Foundation, evangelical Christian, homophobic behavior, juice, William Bolthouse

Bil and I were talking a couple weeks ago about the former owner of Bolthouse Farms giving $100,000 to support the anti-gay ballot initiative in California. Bolthouse Farms makes a popular line of organic fruit drinks. I told Bil that I'd look up William Bolthouse's donation history. People don't just give $100k to a homophobic cause as the first political donation of their life.

Carrot-juice.jpgI found quite a bit of history on William Bolthouse, with donations to extreme right-wing organizations dating back all the way to at least 2000 when he was still in charge of the juice company and had a large stake in it. I also found out that the Bolthouse Foundation, founded and funded by the Bolthouse family, was giving to quite a few causes that I personally wouldn't have supported or wanted to have inadvertently supported.

Quite a few of you have e-mailed the company looking for answers, and they've denied connection with the Bolthouse Foundation. Other people are planning direct actions around this, so I dug deeper to make sure I was correct. Let's just say that it isn't accurate to say that they're completely separate organizations. That's all after the jump.

One of the big questions that came up was How much stake does William Bolthouse currently have in the juice company?

His family owned most of the company before they were bought-out in 2005 by Madison Dearborn Partners, a Chicago-based private equity firm. Before that, he had donated both to the Bush campaign and to the Campaign for Working Families, Gary Bauer's extremist PAC. He had already co-founded the Bolthouse Foundation private charity that, in 2006, received all of its donations from the Bolthouse family. Bolthouse Foundation gave over $6 million to the National Christian Foundation, a massive conservative Christian funding arm that funnels money to smaller groups, both ministerial and political, that work to promote a fundamentalist Christian worldview.

Bolthouse Farms (the juice company), the Bolthouse Foundation (the private charity), and the National Christian Foundation all have mission statements that focus on doing God's work as based on a fundamentalist interpretation of the Bible.

(Two notes here. First, the Bolthouse Farms Wikipedia page said at one point that 43% of the company was still family owned. I've found nothing to support that. Also, Sarah Posner's Washington Spectator article from April 1, 2007, said that the Foundation was funded by the company. A Bolthouse Farms spokeswoman said she "was incorrect," and neither she nor the Washington Spectator have answered my request for a source.)

The official Bolthouse response about the connection between the Farm and the Foundation has been (emphasis mine):

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and comments with us. The Bolthouse Foundation is a private foundation funded by some of the former owners of Wm. Bolthouse Farms, Inc. The foundation is a separate entity and is not connected to Bolthouse Farms in any way. Furthermore, they do not receive financial support or benefit from the profits of Bolthouse Farms. We appreciate your concern and apologize for the confusion. Thank you for taking the time to contact us, and we hope you will continue to enjoy our products.

The Bolthouse Farms spokesperson I called repeated that assertion, even though she was unsure she could provide evidence that William Bolthouse is not currently receiving money from the company. Bolthouse Farms did not provide any documentation requested by the time of publication.

The assertion that they're not connected "in any way" is far from true, based on a couple things I found.

Andre Radandt

Andre Radandt took over as CEO and president of Bolthouse Farms in 2002 and became the chairman of the board after William Bolthouse was bought-out in 2005. He was mentored for the position by William Bolthouse himself for 10 years before taking the helm for him, and he promised to continue Bolthouse's mission of using the farm as a platform for ministry:

"Stewardship and integrity have always been a part of the business and have been well-established culturally," Andre told Business Reform recently. "My job is to preserve that. The stewardship part is about protecting the profitability of the company. That's one of the main sources of satisfaction we get from what we do. The integrity side involves using the business as a platform for ministry. Internally, we're very careful about who we hire. Externally, we support a lot of ministries in the area - when they need something, we get it for them."

He doesn't get any more specific about what organizations get money from the farm or what he means by "using the business as a platform for ministry," but I'd bet good money that it's going to anti-gay Christian fundamentalism considering his close relationship with William Bolthouse.

Andre Radandt also married Lisa Bolthouse Radandt, the daughter of William Bolthouse, making him the son-in-law of the guy who gave $100k to the anti-gay ballot initiative. Son-in-laws don't always see eye-to-eye with their fathers-in-law, but Radant was mentored and groomed for his position for over a decade by his father-in-law. Remember, he was being mentored by someone, who, during the same time period, was donating money to the Bush campaign and to Gary Bauer's PAC.

The Radandts are incredibly rich off the juice company. Not just "send your kids to private school and live in a gated community" kind of rich, but "buy an ornately appointed mansion on the west coast, give it away for free because you don't like it, and then build another ornately appointed mansion in its place" kinda of rich. They're rolling in it, and Andre has already said that he gives away a lot of that money. At least he has more sense than his father-in-law does and doesn't go around blabbing about everything he gives money to.

While Andre isn't the center of this controversy, I should add that the company's story is that if you buy a bottle of their juice right now, the money won't go, at all, to William Bolthouse. Instead, he's using money the company made on juice and vegetables before the buyout (that we were buying then not knowing what he was going to do with it). Now Andre's getting that money. What's to say that he won't go ahead and do the same thing?

The Bolthouse Foundation and Bolthouse Farms: Not entirely disconnected

trustee.JPGAfter looking through the Bolthouse Foundation's most recently available IRS Form 990, it appears Andre Radandt and his wife Lisa Bolthouse Radandt are trustees of the Bolthouse Foundation. The chairman of the board of Bolthouse Farms and his wife are on the board of trustees of the Bolthouse Foundation. The Farm and the Foundation are definitely connected via these two family members.

While there's a chance they kicked Andre Radant off the Foundation board in that time, the Company spokeswoman didn't responded to my request for documentation.

The Foundation is set up so that someone from Bolthouse Properties, LLC, is always on the board of trustees. The state of California's website doesn't offer any information on what this third Bolthouse holding does or who owns it. It has been speculated that Bolthouse Properties LLC owns the land that Bolthouse Farms uses to grow crops. Most likely owner of Bolthouse Properties, LLC? William Bolthouse.

Both the Foundation and the Company have similar philosophies.

The purpose of The Bolthouse Foundation is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ by supporting charitable and religious organizations whose ministry, goals, and operating principles are consistent with evangelical Christianity as described in The Bolthouse Foundation Statement of Faith.

The purpose of this Company is to glorify God through our business transactions, our work, and our relationships. It is further our desire to bring honor and glory to the Name of Jesus Christ by following God's Word in all of our dealings with employees, suppliers, and customers. God's Work as contained in His Inspired Scriptures will be the final authority in all Corporate matters concerning direction, decisions, and disputes.

Check out that "Bolthouse Foundation Statement of Faith." It wouldn't even include a majority of Christians.

Interestingly enough, since I posted last on Bolthouse Farms, the Foundation's website has changed. Here's a saved version from Google from a couple weeks ago (click to enlarge and read):

foundation old site.jpg

And here's the site as it appears now:

foundation new site.JPG

Notice how the second takes extra-special care to state "No members of The Bolthouse Foundation have a financial interest in Bolthouse Farms, and The Bolthouse Foundation receives neither financial support nor benefits from the profits of Bolthouse Farms"? Except, of course, two of the trustees. Small potatoes, I suppose.

It's not a great website, either. It's one that they set up and leave so they can do their business in person or by mail. The fact that it was changed just recently, in a way that specifically responds to what people are saying about them, is suspicious. If the Foundation has no interest in the Company, why change the site?

I asked the Bolthouse Farms spokeswoman that as well. She replied, "You'll have to ask the Foundation."

The Foundation gets its money from William Bolthouse, and William Bolthouse's philosophy, mission, even members of his family, still run the Company. Family members are on both sides of that aisle. The Foundation is looking out for the Company's interests. The money that funds the Foundation originally came from the Company and may continue via other family member's private donations that still work for the Company. They are not completely independent entities.

Direct Action

Several people are considering demonstrating because of this. A boycott would be a bad idea, as Bil pointed out last night in an email to a few people who have written to us:

For a boycott to win, the entity being boycotted has to roll over and give in to the demands. This is never going to happen in this case. The company's mission statement practically reads like King James himself wrote it. This sets us up to automatically be unsuccessful as a boycott.

So we're not asking people not to buy the juice. It's a free country and the LGBT community is all about diversity and personal choices.

I defer to him because of his long experience in LGBT activism, and what he says makes sense. A boycott of Bolthouse Farms would be about as successful as any of the AFA's boycotts (that is, not at all).

Instead, this is more of an informational campaign. I'm posting to educate our community and try to discover the truth about the matter.

Personally, after finding out all of this, I'm not going to buy their products anymore. There's just way too much baggage, and way too many alternatives on the market. What you do with the information is up to you.

This is all good and interesting research work (which I didn't read in detail, after being convinced that most of my suspicions are correct).

Before I knew who they were, I have tried a few of the Bolthouse smoothies, and the ones I tried were good. But experiences like this make me cautious about switching to another brand ... which, unless its called Gay Pride Fruit Smoothie, might be owned by yet another right-wing family or group.

So ... in addition to researching the people we tend to boycott, we also might identify a competitor whose product line is similar in nature and quality who is donates, for marriage equality and/or other GLBT interests. If we're going to play this game, then let's run for the goal line.

For example, Dannon smoothies are pretty good ... do we know what social causes Dannon supports, if any?

(... and those damn cheesecakes I'm not supposed to buy, what were they called?)

Naked brand makes almost the same kinds of smoothies as Bolthouse (in fact I'm not sure who came first) and as far as I know, it's a decent company. So maybe instead of a boycott, a "buy instead." Bolt Bolthouse, Buy Naked! (Easy to remember, eh?)

Atkins Cheesecake. Located here in Indiana. They're not in many supermarkets anymore, but I believe they do serve them in some restaurants. So I suppose you have to ask the waiter where your cheesecake is coming from.

Robert Ganshorn Robert Ganshorn | June 28, 2008 10:20 AM

What's a smoothie? It sounds interesting but, I'd rather eat a mango! Thanks Alex for the obvious hard work!

Bill Perdue Bill Perdue | June 28, 2008 10:26 AM

Thanks for the research Alex. Who'd have imagined that such nice upstanding Chamber of Commerce types would be caught lying through their teeth (again).

I disagree with Bil. I think we should boycott them. To be a success it doesn't have to end with Bolthouse going bankrupt or rolling over and making donations to Pride events. It can simply be a long term event that lets them know that we're pissed by letting people know it’s a bad idea to buy their juices and support their bigotry.

When Howard Wallace and other GLBT trade unionists launched the boycott against Coors Beer it wasn't expected to go anywhere either and for the same reason. The Coors family was – is – just slightly to the right of Attila the Hun. Their breweries were run like a private fiefdom. They hired brutally intrusive police and used lie detectors to screen out trade unionists, feminists and GLBT folks in hiring. They dutifully followed the Chamber of Commerce/NAM guidelines to divide and conquer using racism, misogyny and homophobia to keep out the union.

The Coors family hasn’t changed much, but the boycott did produce some welcome changes in their policies. The Boycott went on for well over a decade and wasn’t a wasted effort. It cemented good relations between the GLBT movements and the unions.

If no ones ready now to put their time and effort into making an issue of Bolthouse's rancid christian business practices then it'll just lie on the backburner simmering until some one does. In any case, a boycott’s the way to go. Hurt 'em where it hurts, in their pocketbooks. Even christians understand that. Ask Bill Coors, grandson of Adolph Kuhrs.

Thanks for doing all of this research, Alex. How stupid does a company have to be to try and lie in the days of the internet?

awesome research and informative post...i think it is pretty laughable how this company is using the idea of christianity to drive its company, however, they are being deceitful at the same time...which is a sin, plain and simple. They are lying to keep that cash rolling in to their product line! i am a preacher's son and i know just how deceitful right-wing christians can be. they wear a crown of religion to mask their deceitful ways and offer the outward impression to the world that they are right and good people, but most of the time they will sin left and right to support their own cause, which is self defeating...and they ALWAYS seem to do this to themselves. I have seen it time and time again, even with my own father. if there truly is a god, i really hope he gives it to the christian fundamentalists straight when they are knocking on his door because they are living their lives no better than they would proclaim we do. hypocrisy, hypocrisy, hypocrisy...well, AND money grubbing!

What's a smoothie? It sounds interesting but, I'd rather eat a mango!

Robert: I presume you're joking, but just in case you aren't: (1) Dice the soft flesh of the mango and put it in a blender, (2) add an ice cube or two, (3) run the blender for about 30 seconds, and (4) that's a smoothie! --- Drink it! (5) And savor the thought that, in preparing that drink, you didn't do anything to support Dick Cheney, Pat Robertson, or an anti-marriage-equality ban.

(Yes, Robert, you are lucky --- if everyone had fresh mango trees within walking distance, few people would pay $2.50 for a bottle of Bolthouse Farms.)

Thanks for all the great footwork to research this, Alex!

Great research Alex! I'm curious if either side of the Bolthouse empire has contacted you with evidence the foundation is not getting any money from the company itself.

Thanks for the info. Just like Coors beer and the Coors family foundations that fund the extreme right wing, it is sometimes hard to follow the money trails. But this is evidence enough to not buy their products and to complain at any Whole Foods that may carry them.

OK, first off every company has beliefs that people do not agree with, so either stop buying everything or shut up.

All you will do is hurt the people who NEED the paycheck from Bolthouse, not the higher ups who already have enough money to choke on.

some of those little people who NEED the paycheck are probably part of the LGBTQ community.

The rich get richer and thanks to you the poor people who just work for them will continue to get poorer.

So just because some people are offended you will find a way to stop retailers from carrying their product.

I dislike japanese cars because the japanese bombed pearl harbor and they are ruining our economy. But i can't stop them from selling their cars here.

I Just got a message from Bolthouse this morning in response to their funding activities in which Julie Soley (the rep from Bolthouse) informed me that Nora and William Bolthouse sold their 43% shares in 2005. She said there was no connection between the foundation and the "Bolthouse Farms" company.

Review: Pirate Ring

Rating: ★★★★★
Studio City Tattoo
(this ring found under merchandise, NOT jewelry)

To the starboard side, open gunports reveal the large mouth of a cannon preparing to fire. Just beneath is a second gunport, but this one is shut, the left door splintered from its hinge and hanging askew. The port side mirrors the starboard with its own eager cannon above, and closed gunport below, only this time a skeletal hand emerges from the door as if death itself were about to spring forth. The bow, as should surprise none, features a large grinning skull, his teeth gritted in fury and amusement at once – or perhaps it’s just a bloodlust. He sports an eyepatch and wears a captain’s hat, ostrich plumes cascading down to his cheekbone. This maniacal skull is naturally flanked by twin crossed cutlasses, their grips rough and aged, but their blades gleaming. Behind it all is a backdrop of oaken planks, their dark grain in stark contrast to the silvery jolly roger that glares up at you. And last, to the stern, are an assortment of letters, reading simply “”.

That the above paragraph describes a ring is astounding, but true. Studio City Tattoo – California’s #1 piratey tattoo shop – has long sported their own distinctive Jolly Roger by way of a logo. And Skinny Dog Designs – the very artisans that created many of the Pirates of the Caribbean rings and pendants available at the PotC Rides in the Disney Theme Parks – have brilliantly crafted this logo into a ring that is practically a pirate novel in itself.

The Studio City ring is big – it has to be to sport such incredible detail. The face of it is a full 1 and 1/8 inches across, making it ideally suited to full figured pirates with larger hands. My own hands tend to be of the smaller variety, meaning this ring is significantly larger than anything I’ve worn before – it does take some getting used to. The size for one, but also the weight. They did NOT skimp on the silver in making this ring – it’s solid, and it’s heavy. However, both of these factors become less noticeable with time (although the awsomeness of the ring clearly remains!)

The Studio City Tattoo Ring is a definite thing of beauty. This isn’t something to toss on thinking it will blend in and subtly compliment your pirate or civilian attire – this is a centerpiece in itself, certain to command attention and admiration from your jealous shipmates time and again.

    Sadly, I believe Studio City Tattoo has discontinued this item :(

yes it's unbolt, remove and install. But i will recommend to get a small 12V power source, either connect to cigaret lighter or under the hood on driver side.

Have you checked the fusable link?

This is the thinner black wire going from the battery in the trunk to the connector point up front....putting a battery in the wrong way will blow that link.

Rear Wheel Drive. Own the car the way it was meant to be owned. XDrive is not a way to avoid snow tires. Very few geographic areas require both XDrive and snow tires anyway, so its a waste of time and money.

A "Line". The base model is missing too many features and too much styling. You need a Sport line or a Luxury line. Start there.

Technology Package. The LCD screen is the centerpiece of the cockpit and the smaller panel shoved in the larger piece of plastic looks atrocious. The F30 is a technological marvel, one shouldn't skimp on iPhone integration, album art, split screen, streaming audio, and of course the heads-up display.

Snow Tires. Not a BMW option, but if you live where the majority of 3 Series are sold you need good rubber for the winter time. No matter how you build your car, reserve $1200 for this critical safety feature. If it boils down to snow tires vs. XDrive, you choose the snow tires. Every time.

Lighting Package. A BMW isn't a BMW without xenon's. Not only is it a signature styling cue, but it is a quantum leap in illumination which enhances performance and safety.

Premium Package. Lots of goodies in an affordably priced bundle. Comfort access, all the toys, leather.

Rear Camera w/Park Distance Control. Very helpful, very safe, and BMW's execution is top-notch. If you have kids or live in a city environment it's a can't-miss feature.

Heated Seats. You don't need the winter package, just the seats.

Those are the "must haves". There are no "must considers" because at $50,000 you can afford any option you want and shouldn't drop a feature or two because you want to save a few dollars. Build it the way you want it, spend the money, done.

Seriously? Are you in the 4th grade or something?

Why would you assume that I did not look up what the code meant? All research points to:
"1211 - DME, Motronic computer, related fault - which may indicate problem with car computer itself. Delete any stored codes and perform following test: Start the car and let it run for 30 seconds; Turn off car and let it sit for another 30 seconds; Perform diagnostic test again; If the same flash code re-appears DME should be replaced"

I have done all of those recommendations. Here are all the codes:

None of which mention "your gas cap is loose". I have been driving BMWs since 1987 and can remember when Bimmer owners actually helped each other out!

authors with aristocracic title

Harry A. ten Hove hove at
Tue Oct 21 03:58:36 EST 1997

In partial reply to Frank Lichers question, I paste below a discussion on
a similar subject I had some time ago with Gary Gaston. By the way, van,
von, ten, de, and similar pre-(not)-fixes not always indicate nobility.

>Dear Dr. ten Hove,

>is an error?

>When cited in the text, should the paper above be cited "De Jonge and Van
>Beusekom", "Jonge and Beusekom" or some combination? It's confusing for us
>Americans, because names like these become one word when immigrants come
>to America (Jacques Van Montfrans goes by "Van Montfrans, Jacques").

>Please advise. Thank you.

Dear Gary,

You touch a raw nerve here, an everlasting problem. Recently I discussed
this with at least 3 persons, but unfortunately cannot refind the
discussion notwithstanding the fact that electronic searches are faster
than manual ones. I probably will have stored the discussion that much
logical, that I will refind it immediately after I finish this

My family name is ten Hove. In the European fashion, however, Harry ten
Hove is catalogued as: Hove, Harry ten. American fashion is: Ten Hove,
Harry. Note the difference between the correct ten, and uncorrect Ten.

Thus citing myself in the text my personal preference is (ten Hove, 1996),
but in the References you will have to look under Hove, and depending the
wishes of the editing house the ten may be European style, or American Ten.
I try to be consistent in this, but as indicated the larger publishing
houses sometimes tend to do it the American way, and the entire series will
become (Ten Hove, 1996) and in the References Ten Hove. (you can imagine
the negative impact on publication lists compiled from the Science Citation

Mutatis mutandis the same holds for "de Jonge" and "van Beusekom", but also
for "de Quatrefages", which I never have found in a References under De,
always under Quatrefages. European fashion the family name is "de Jonge",
to be catalogued under Jonge, V.N. de; American fashion "De Jonge", V.N. I
presume that "De Jonge, 1992" already is a concession to the journal's

It gets even more complicated with real double names as for instance my
former boss P. Wagenaar Hummelinck. His full family name is Wagenaar
Hummelinck, but in the social intercourse he usually introduced himself for
shortness sake as "Hummelinck". Nevertheless, in a References you will find
him under Wagenaar Hummelinck, P. and not as I have seen erroneously as
Hummelinck, P. Wagenaar, implicating that his preferred Christian name is
Wagenaar instead of the real one Pieter.

In conclusion, when you want to make certain that the references can be
found, you might make a double entry in the References:

Hove, H.A. ten, 1994.- Serpulidae ( Annelida: Polychaeta) from the
Seychelles and Amirante Islands. In: Oceanic Reefs of the Seychelles.
Cruise Reports Neth. Indian Ocean Program, II (ed. J. van der Land),
Nat.Nat.Mus. Leiden, p.107-116, 1 table.

Ten Hove, H.A. see Hove, H.A. ten.

[Note some lines above: J. van der Land, to be cited correctly in the
European fashion under L]

The American way may be more consistent and easy for the general public.
However, trying to find papers in (older) European data banks you won't be
able to locate the stuff, unless you are aware of the problem and do a
double (even treble) search.

Hoping that this clarifies the muddy issue,

Potato cyst nematode (PCN) is responsible for significant loss in the
potato production of the EC. The use of PCN-contaminated land for
further potato crops is dependent on the species that infests the
field. Two species of PCN are endemic in the UK; Globodera pallida
and Globodera rostochiensis. As there are no potato varieties fully
resistant to G. pallida, land contaminated with this species of PCN
can be unavailable for potato crops for a longer period. The present
identification techniques include microscopic examination of the cyst
contents, and the use of isoelectric focusing gels.

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique has been developed based
on allele-specific amplification. This method amplifies a region
within the internally transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the
ribosomal RNA genes. A species-specific primer was designed for each
species, binding to different regions of the ITS. Each of these
primers is designed to mismatch with the other species at the 3' end.
A third primer, which binds perfectly to both species is located
downstream of the binding sites of the species-specific primers.
Amplification using the Stoffel fragment of Taq DNA polymerase of G.
pallida extracts gives rise to a 391 bp fragment, while G.
rostochiensis produces a 238 bp fragment. Mixed populations will
result in the production of both fragments. The DNA products are
visualised following agarose gel electrophoresis. This technique
allows identification of PCN species within 3 hours.

greatest immunology discoveries

Ephraim Fuchs ejf at
Wed Oct 26 16:27:37 EST 1994

I would like to know what people think is the greatest advance in
immunology in the last 25 years.  My opinion is that it is the two signal
model of lymphocyte activation, first proposed by David Dresser, then Don
Forsdyke (if I'm not mistaken, he is the founder of this usenet group),
then championed by Peter Bretscher and Mel Cohn and, for T cells, by
Kevin Lafferty and Alistair Cunningham.  A distant second would be the
discovery of MHC restriction of T cell responses by Peter Doherty and
Rolf Zinkernagel.

Wolfgang, it's a question of what you're trying to do ...  You can try
different metal ions or different chelates to immobilize the metal
ions or different conditions to elute your bound proteins. If you have
nothing better to do this afternoon, come across the street to the
biochemistry department (Hoppe-Seyler-Str. 4, top floor, room 415) and
we can talk about what you can try ;-) If nothing else, you can get a

nonconsensual human experimentation in the USA

Allen L. Barker alb at
Tue Feb 11 08:26:24 EST 2003

This is a good time to remember back when the shuttle Challenger
exploded in 1986.  As Geoffrey Sea wrote in a _Columbia Journalism
Review_ article, he was close to getting a _New York Times_ reporter
to investigate the human radiation experiments (which finally came out
in 1993).  The explosion, though presumably completely unrelated, took
the attention of the reporter away from the human radiation
     The Radiation Story No One Would Touch
     On January 28, 1986, the date of Diamond's intended arrival, I am
     working at my desk with the television turned on but the sound
     off, as I often do. I am distracted at one point by a striking
     picture on the TV screen: a beautiful white plume of smoke
     unfurling against the azure sky. It is the explosion of the space
     shuttle Challenger. Within the hour Diamond calls to say that he
     will be investigating the Challenger disaster -- and thus won't
     becoming to Ohio any time soon. He tells me to wait until he's
     done with the Challenger story. I wait for three months.
The reports of the radiation experiments finally got accurate and
appropriately outraged press coverage in late 1993, almost a decade
after a congressional committee had released a report detailing most
of those shocking abuses.  But those were only one small group of many
research programs which had used US citizens as nonconsensual guinea
pigs.  These other, *known* abuses have never been fully reported or
the victims notified.  At a time when we are thinking of the lost
astronauts and their families, perhaps we should remember these
citizens and their families as well:

     The Cold War Experiments
     Radiation tests were only one small part of a vast research
     program that used thousands of Americans as guinea pigs.
     _U.S News and World Report_, January 24, 1994.
     ...the government has long ignored thousands of other cold war
     victims, rebuffing their requests for compensation and refusing
     to admit its responsibility for injuries they suffered.
     Continued secrecy and legal roadblocks erected by the government
     have made it virtually impossible for victims of these cold war
     human experiments to sue the government successfully, legal
     experts say.
     Many of the stories of people whose lives were destroyed by
     mind-altering drugs, electroshock "treatments" and other military
     and CIA experiments involving toxic chemicals or behavior
     modification have been known for almost 20 years.  But U.S. News
     has discovered that only a handful were ever compensated -- or
     even told what was done to them.
     Admiral Turner, in his 1983 deposition, conceded that "a
     disappointingly small number" were notified but defended the
     agency's continuing refusal to declassify the names of the
     researchers and universities involved. "I don't think that would
     have been necessarily the best way," Turner said. "Not in the
     litigious society we live in."
Continuing with the astronaut theme, Senator John Glenn introduced a
"Human Subjects Protection Act" in 1997.  The bill was killed in
committee.  Below are some excerpts from his introductory remarks.
Such a bill is *still* needed, for the reasons Glenn outlined.

     You just think about your own family, your own son, your own
     daughter, or grandchildren who might be, the next time they go to
     a doctor, the subject of some medical experiment that they are
     not even told about. I do not think there can be many things more
     un-American than that.

     Well, is there really a problem out there?  Is this just a paper
     loophole that I am trying to close?
     Unfortunately, Mr. President, there are ongoing problems with
     inappropriate, ethically suspect research on human subjects. It
     is difficult to know the extent of such problems because
     information is not collected in any formal manner on human
     research. The Cleveland Plain-Dealer in my home State of Ohio has
     recently reported in a whole series of articles, after much
     investigation of this issue. And I quote from them:
     What the government lacks in hard data about humans, it more than
     makes up for with volumes of statistics about laboratory
     animals. Wonder how many guinea pigs were used in U.S. research?
     The Agriculture Department knows: 333,379. How many hamsters in
     Ohio?  2,782.
     So we have all this data on animals and little on human beings. I
     would hasten to add that the guinea pigs the Plain-Dealer refers
     to are the four-legged kind too and not the guinea pigs that are
     humans being used for research. The reason we know so much about
     the use of animals in research is that we have laws governing the
     handling and treatment of them. For example, the Animal Welfare
     Act requires that certain minimum standards be maintained when
     using animals in research.
     Let me give you some recent examples which indicate why,
     notwithstanding the common rule and the other protections that
     are in place, I think additional protections are needed in

Finally, this is a good time to remember that back in 1962 the Joint
Chiefs of Staff came up with plans to deliberately create a pretext
for war with Cuba.  Among the many shocking ideas they considered, one
plan called for blaming the Cubans should John Glenn's rocket explode.
This is not to suggest anything about the recent shuttle explosion,
but is a good reminder that eternal vigilance must be eternally
     Friendly Fire
     Book: U.S. Military Drafted Plans to
     Terrorize U.S. Cities to Provoke War With Cuba
     The Joint Chiefs even proposed using the potential death of
     astronaut John Glenn during the first attempt to put an American
     into orbit as a false pretext for war with Cuba, the documents
     Should the rocket explode and kill Glenn, they wrote, "the
     objective is to provide irrevocable proof ... that the fault lies
     with the Communists et all Cuba [sic]."

  Did you have fans going (blowing out the windows) or a good
breeze blowing through the place?  You need to move the air that

You can try phosphate buffer (say 10-20 mM, pH 2.0, 4.4 and
6.5). Silica is notorious for not liking Alkaline pHs so
I would not go above pH 6.5.

CORBETT, GRIFFITH OWEN, Church of England clergyman, physician, and author; b. probably 30 March 1823 in Littleworth, near Minchinhampton, England, and baptized 12 Oct. 1828 in Minchinhampton, son of Griffith Corbett, a weaver, and Maria Daniels; m. Abigail — in England, and they had at least two children; d. 30 March 1909 in Lingfield, England.

Almost nothing is known of Griffith Owen Corbett before his arrival in British North America. Although he was trained by the Church Missionary Society, it was the Colonial Church and School Society which sponsored his posting to Montreal in 1851. There, he served as a catechist and chaplain at the Montreal General Hospital, but was refused ordination by the bishop of Montreal, Francis Fulford*, for unspecified reasons.

The CCSS sent Corbett to Rupert’s Land in 1852 at the request of Bishop David Anderson*. Following a winter at St Andrew’s parish (Man.), Corbett founded a new mission, named Headingley, midway between the Red River settlement and Portage la Prairie. His zeal in establishing this mission won him Anderson’s admiration and secured his ordination on Christmas Day 1853. In 1854 he constructed the first Holy Trinity Church at Headingley; however, his ministry to the settlers and natives was frustrated by the mission’s poverty. The difficulty was compounded that year when the CCSS, unable to bear the mission’s expenses any further, withdrew its support.

Corbett returned to England in 1855. He assumed a rural parish and studied medicine at King’s College, London. In 1857 he appeared before the select committee of the House of Commons on the Hudson’s Bay Company [see Alexander Kennedy Isbister*] to argue against renewal of the company’s licence. Corbett contended that the HBC restricted missionary activity and sought to stifle the Red River settlement’s economic and social growth. While his testimony largely reflected conditions in the colony, it was tarnished by his failure to substantiate charges of interference in his mission’s establishment.

Having successfully petitioned the CCSS for reinstatement at Headingley, Corbett and his wife returned to Rupert’s Land in 1857. He launched a campaign of political agitation, instigating a clergy sponsored petition against the HBC which received widespread support until quashed by Anderson. In 1858 he advocated the opening of a road between the Red River settlement and Lake of the Woods to secure direct communication with Upper Canada [see Simon James Dawson]. An extended crusade to obtain the status of crown colony for Red River then followed, during which he castigated the HBC for the settlement’s economic stagnation and the deterioration of law and order. His establishment of the first printing-press in the colony enabled him to publish A few reasons for a crown colony, a broadside he circulated to counter the arguments of those who favoured annexation to Canada. In it he advocated the creation of an elected legislative body with control over the colony’s resources, which he predicted would bring Rupert’s Land unrivalled commercial power.

Corbett’s views were ably contested by the Canadian faction at Red River. None the less, his imperialist rhetoric made headway among the settlement’s English-speaking mixed-bloods, for whom the status of crown colony implied an extension of British rights and privileges, including the franchise, and an end to the ostracism widely practised by English pure-bloods. His vehement anti-Catholicism served to widen divisions within the settlement and earned him the sobriquet “corps bête” among the French-speaking inhabitants.

During his tenure at Red River, Corbett freely employed his knowledge of medicine in the service of his parishioners. In the autumn of 1862, however, allegations of an impropriety committed by him began to circulate in the colony. They led to his arrest in December on a charge of attempting to induce an abortion on his servant-girl, Maria Thomas. He was held at Upper Fort Garry (Winnipeg) until the appearance of a mob demanding his release persuaded authorities to arrange his bail.

When Corbett was brought to trial on 19 Feb. 1863, his defence hinged upon a signed disclaimer from Thomas denying his culpability. Once this document was demonstrated to have been obtained under duress, his case collapsed. Testimony revealed that on several occasions he had attempted to abort Thomas, with whom he had repeatedly committed adultery. He was convicted and sentenced to six months’ imprisonment.

Throughout the trial and during Corbett’s ensuing incarceration, his supporters charged that the case had been fabricated by the HBC in an effort to silence him. After popular agitation, including a petition to Governor Alexander Grant Dallas* signed by over 500 residents, failed to secure his release, Corbett was forcibly freed from jail on 20 April by a mob led by the schoolmaster of St James parish, James Stewart. Dallas’s efforts to arrest those who had broken into the jail netted only Stewart, who, in turn, was liberated by a party of armed men which faced down the governor’s special constables. Corbett was permitted to remain at liberty and resumed his post at Headingley despite episcopal interdict and dismissal by the missionary society.

Corbett’s trial and release exacerbated underlying tensions in Red River society and undermined the authority of the settlement’s dominant institutions. As a result of the jailbreaks, the Council of Assiniboia grew powerless to assert its authority in the years preceding the insurrection of 1869–70 [see Louis Riel*]. Opposition to the HBC aroused by malcontents such as Corbett weakened the company’s hold on the loyalty of its servants. Most pointedly, the trial and its aftermath devastated the Anglican clergy, their attempts to distance themselves from Corbett serving only to intensify hostility among their followers. By 1867 the resignation of many of the prominent clergy, including Anderson, had reduced the Anglican church at Red River to a skeleton.

Corbett returned to England in 1864, permanently separating from his family, who remained in the settlement. He received his md in 1867 and then filed a suit against Dallas for false imprisonment which was either dropped or thrown out of court after a four-year delay. Corbett’s interest in the politics of Red River remained undimmed, especially during the Métis resistance of 1869–70. In addition to publishing several pamphlets, he regularly petitioned the British government to redress the illegality of HBC control of the territory and of its transfer to the dominion.

Initially denied permission to act as a minister by the archbishop of London, Corbett eventually received a curate’s licence and served in several rural parishes in England between 1877 and 1881. Rumours of a liaison with another woman (his wife died only in 1918) effectively ended his ministerial career. He later lapsed into protracted ill health and died in 1909.

One whose faults far outweighed his virtues, Corbett was by nature contentious, petty, devious, and opportunistic. That he became a focus of political dissent is indicative less of his own appeal than of the magnitude of the political and legal vacuum which enveloped the Red River settlement. By serving as a lightning-rod for political opinion within the settlement, Corbett earned the reputation accorded him by Bishop Anderson, that of a “most dangerous man.”

Extracellular matrix and cardiovascular diseases.
MedLine Citation:
PMID:  8987966     Owner:  NLM     Status:  MEDLINE
Extracellular matrix (ECM) in the heart and vascular wall includes fibrous proteins and proteoglycans. Fibrous proteins are classified within two categories: structural (collagen and elastin) and adhesive molecules (laminin and fibronectin). These ECM components are important in maintenance of both structure and function of the heart and vascular tissues. Myocardial infarction, hypertrophy, hypertension and heart failure are well known to be associated with progressive cardiac fibrosis. Vascular hypertrophy and thickening has been associated with the pathological series of events that attends both hypertension and restenosis. The accumulation of ECM in the cardiovascular system plays an important role in the development of heart failure after myocardial infarction and hypertension, as well as in vascular hypertrophy and restenosis. Angiotensin II (angiotensin) and transforming growth factor beta 1 are known to play a role in signalling the abnormal accumulation of ECM in these cardiovascular diseases. Administration of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor type 1 antagonist is associated with regression of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis as well as vascular hypertrophy.

Post-traumatic stress disorder among people with heroin dependence in the Australian treatment outcome study (ATOS): prevalence and correlates.
MedLine Citation:
PMID:  15734224     Owner:  NLM     Status:  MEDLINE
This study documents the prevalence and correlates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among Australian individuals with heroin dependence. Data was obtained from a cohort of 615 people dependent on heroin, 535 entering treatment for their heroin dependence and 80 individuals not in treatment. Trauma exposure (92%) and lifetime PTSD (41%) were highly prevalent. PTSD was prevalent across all treatment modalities, most commonly residential rehabilitation (52%) followed by maintenance therapies (42%), and detoxification (37%). The lowest prevalence was reported among those not in treatment (30%). Although men and women were equally likely to have experienced trauma (93% vs. 89%), women were more likely to develop lifetime PTSD (61% vs. 37%). For the large majority of those with PTSD, the condition was chronic (84%), with symptoms continuing for an average of 9.5 years. Those with PTSD had more extensive polydrug use histories, poorer general physical and mental health, and more extensive health service utilisation. It is concluded that PTSD is highly prevalent among individuals with heroin dependence, presenting a significant challenge to treatment providers.

Historically, the big pharmaceutical companies (Big Pharma) have sought to feed their marketing machines by manufacturing blockbuster drugs—chemical-based, one-type-fits-all products that treat chronic conditions such as heart disease or arthritis. This approach has yielded recurring revenue streams from large patient populations. In contrast, biotechnology companies typically have created protein-based drugs,or biologics, to treat acute or niche conditions and diseases. With few exceptions (such as the biotech giant Amgen), biotech companies have foregone doing the marketing and sales of their drugs themselves, and have, instead, relied on others to perform their marketing and sales functions.

Sometimes Big Pharma's blockbuster drugs have been accompanied by blockbuster risks. A one-type-fits-all approach may be hazardous, in that a single drug taken by many users may inevitably result in harmful side effects in some patients. These side effects can adversely affect not only the physical health of the patients but the economic health of the manufacturer, as well. For example, although Merck's drug Vioxx brought great relief to many, some patients experienced heart attacks and strokes. As a result, Merck must now contend with 600 lawsuits and settlements that some speculate could reach $20 billion — a figure equal to nearly one year's revenue for the company.1 If that figure seems unimaginable, consider that as of December 31, 2004, Wyeth had paid and reserved a total of $21.1 billion to settle litigation over the FenPhen diet drug it introduced in the 1990s, a drug which also caused heart problems in some patients.2

In the future, Big Pharma may migrate from one-type-fits-all drugs to more personalized medications. As a result of the personalized nature of these therapeutics, side effects may be reduced and efficacy may be increased. Biotech companies, because they are accustomed to providing personalized niche therapeutics, will become increasingly important as alliance partners for the big pharmaceutical firms. A move from blockbuster drugs to more personalized medicines and niche therapeutics will require reexamination of the Big Pharma business model, as well as a reexamination of the business arrangements between Big Pharma and biotech companies.

Potential Drawbacks of Licensing and Development Deals

Today most business arrangements between Big Pharma and biotech companies are royalty and milestone-based licensing and development deals. There are, however, some potential drawbacks to that configuration for both Big Pharma and the biotech companies.

Drawbacks for Big Pharma

For Big Pharma, as the demand for new drugs increases, there is a substantial risk of overpayment for these drugs. The end value of a developed and commercialized drug may, in hindsight, be less valuable to a Big Pharma firm than aggregate milestone payments made to a biotech company and the continuing overhang of future royalty payments against future revenues. In addition, if a large pharmaceutical company shoulders development costs on its own, the risks of product efficacy, safety, and regulatory approval are borne inordinately by that company. Finally, after a new drug is launched, it may not perform in the marketplace as projected, or its manufacturing or marketing costs may be higher than anticipated.

Drawbacks for Biotech Companies

For a biotech company involved in a royalty and milestone-based licensing and development arrangement with a large pharmaceutical manufacturer, an important portion of the economic value chain is substantially absent. The biotech company can be relegated to its historical role of being a research and development company, receiving only royalties or sales milestone payments, while the pharmaceutical firm reaps large and ongoing revenues from the commercialization of the developed product. The biotech company in such an arrangement remains essentially an intellectual property (IP) platform company. In addition, venture capital and public markets place a higher valuation on companies that also participate in profits from commercialization. For these reasons, a biotech company would do well to pursue an arrangement in which it receives profits and not just royalties or sales milestone payments. An example of such a biotech company is Amgen, which has a large, active sales force to sell its products.

A Prototypical Deal

To better understand royalty and milestone-based licensing and development deals for drug development and commercialization, let's examine a prototypical example to illustrate a template commonly used today between biotech and Big Pharma companies.

Singing Wood Thrush LOL

So the other day I posted a short video showing a hermit thrush singing from the folks over at Music of Nature.  I noticed that they also have a wood thrush video on their YouTube channel too (this is another bird that is a moral imperative to listen to): [youtube][/youtube]

This video cracked me up.  Did you notice how many times the bird sang a phrase and then flew? I was actually surprised that the videographer got the bird perched for more than one phrase--but noted how the bird was always obscured by a branch or leaves.  It reminded me of when I was a kid and my parents moved to a new home and we had one of these singing in the yard.  You didn't have access to all the bird id CDs and apps back then like you do today.

So one Saturday morning my mom and I spent an hour trying to track this bird down in the tops of the trees.  After each song phrase it fluttered to another leafy branch, hiding in obscurity.  The longer it took, the more I fantasized this would be something cool and so beautiful it HAS to hide, maybe even a painted bunting.  I remember feeling like such a chump that that it was brown and fairly colorless.  How could something so brown have a song so pretty?

Now I know better and it's one of my favorite songs and sometimes I get to hear it out around the beehives.  But all that searching we did to see it makes me appreciate all the work the videographer went through to give us such a wonderful glimpse to a secretive singer.

“It’s my sixth panto at the Hippodrome and I am delighted to be back in Birmingham; however, it will be the first opportunity I have had to address the Press Club,” said Brian, who will be made a Life Member of the club in recognition of his professional achievements and support to the media industry.

Brian is also reported to be one of the contestants on ITV1 reality show I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, which starts on Sunday, November 11, joining the likes of boxer David Haye and ex-Pussycat Dolls star Ashley Roberts in the jungle-based challenge.

To book a place(s) at the lunch, send cheques made payable to Birmingham Press Club and post to Kay Cadman, Core, The Exchange, 19 Newhall Street, Birmingham B3 3PJ. For further information, contact by email: kaycadman@core-marketing.co.uk

Tickets for Press Club members are priced at £48 (inc £8 VAT). Tickets for non-members are £60 (inc £10 VAT).

The pantomime, which has already taken £1 million in advance bookings, runs at the Hippodrome from December 15 until January 27.
