· Bosch know-how as basis for comprehensive foundry service

· Rapid ramp-up from prototype to mass-production

With its MEMS, Bosch continues to hold the uncontested position of world market leader for micromechanical sensors. What is less well known is that, since 2001, 'fabless companies' have also been making use of the Stuttgart-based company's MEMS manufacturing technology, which has been perfected over two decades. These many years of experience provide a solid foundation for high quality, and are a guarantee of reliable operation – whether in the automobile or in consumer electronics. MEMS start-ups can also turn to the foundry. They might do so once sampling has been successful and their processes need adjusting to industrial-scale mass-production. Fears that trade secrets might be given away are unfounded: dealing responsibly with sensitive project data is everyday routine for Bosch. If it were not, Bosch would never have become the world's largest supplier to nearly every automaker.

For Bosch, the core of its MEMS foundry service is its competent continuation of a process development started by the customer, its short ramp-up times, and its just-in-time production. Anyone taking advantage of this competence will usually receive their MEMS components on six-or eight-inch wafers for further processing. On request, however, Bosch can do more, providing support in the process development phase. Bosch know-how can also help once the wafers have been produced. It offers services such as testing the finished wafers, integrating CMOS evaluation electronics on the MEMS chip, or subsequently separating the wafers into chips and packaging them.

Since production began in 1995, Bosch has manufactured well over one billion MEMS components at its Reutlingen plant. Its position as world market leader was also confirmed by an analysis conducted by the market observer iSuppli in March 2009: with its MEMS sensors for the automotive industry, Bosch currently generates more sales than its two closest rivals together. For its innovative further development of MEMS production technology Bosch has won prestigious awards, most recently the German Future Prize, Federal President's Award for Technology and Innovation 2008.

Wärtsilä has been responsible for the engineering, procurement and project management. Its scope of supply has included 11 Wärtsilä 18V46 generating sets, each with a rated capacity in excess of 17 MW. An additional 14 MW of electricity is generated by a combined cycle steam turbine, which utilizes the waste heat from the engines. The plant will be operated and maintained by Wärtsilä Pakistan under an initial 5-year agreement.

The electricity produced by the plant will be supplied to the national grid, and will thus ease to some extent the country's existing power shortage. Furthermore, since the local fuel supply situation is often unreliable, the fuel flexibility of the Wärtsilä engines offers an ideal solution for this location. Wärtsilä's technology enables the utilization of locally available fuel with the highest possible efficiency to ensure a reliable supply of power to the grid. The plant's life cycle efficiency is rated at an outstanding 45%, and the average availability of its power supply is estimated to average 88%.

Wärtsilä and the Nishat Group have a long established relationship, Nishat having purchased its first Wärtsilä engines in 2003. Today, the company owns some 600 MW of Wärtsilä power plants.

In his message to the inauguration, Ole Johansson, CEO of Wärtsilä Corporation said: 'This inauguration marks a significant milestone in the strong and lasting relationship between our companies. Wärtsilä has a global track record of showing strong commitment to its customers, and this commitment is evidenced by the fact that we established Wärtsilä Pakistan already 15 years ago, in 1994. This local presence enables us to support our operations in Pakistan, and train local personnel in the efficient operation and service of our power plant installations. Nishat Power Ltd is a prestigious project for Pakistan in general, and for the Nishat Group in particular. We congratulate everyone involved and are proud to play our part in providing Pakistan with reliable and sustainable power.'

The rigors of medical training sharpen a doctor's ability to diagnose and treat a wide variety of human afflictions. However, drug abuse and addiction are often insufficiently covered in medical school curricula, despite the fact that drug use affects a wide range of health conditions and drug abuse and addiction are themselves major public health issues.

To improve drug abuse and addiction training of future physicians, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health, today unveiled a series of new teaching tools, through its Centers of Excellence for Physician Information Program (NIDA CoEs), at the Association of American Medical Colleges 2009 Annual Meeting's "Innovations in Medical Education" Exhibit in Boston.

The new NIDA CoE curriculum resources provide scientifically accurate information on substance abuse, addiction and its consequences to help meet the educational needs of medical students, residents and medical school faculty. The first seven curriculum resources include lectures, problem-based case studies, a faculty workshop, and a web module, any of which can be incorporated into existing medical curricula.

"Physicians can be the first line of defense against substance abuse and addiction, but they need the resources and the training," said NIDA Director Dr. Nora D. Volkow. "Our long term goal is for doctors to incorporate screening for drug use into routine practice like they currently screen for other diseases; to help patients that are abusing to stop; and to refer more serious cases to specialized treatment."

Three themes have emerged in this first wave of CoE offerings: the importance of communication in the doctor-patient relationship, particularly around sensitive issues; the recognition that substance abuse may play an integral role in many disorders physicians treat, even when not the presenting condition; and the crucial part physicians can play in both identifying substance abuse in their patients and reducing their risk of developing a substance use disorder.

For example, several CoE resources address prescription drug abuse among chronic pain patients, which presents special issues for physicians, who must balance adequate treatment with the risks of addiction.

"Our goal is to improve the quality of pain treatment and the safety of prescribing opioids by increasing the knowledge and skills of medical providers early in the educational process," emphasized Dr. Jeffrey Baxter of the University of Massachusetts Medical School, developer of one of the CoE resources.

By pairing substance abuse expertise with innovations in medical education, these curriculum adjuncts can enhance substance abuse medical education, help to remove the stigma associated with substance abuse, and ultimately improve patient care.

The NIDA CoE program was created through a partnership with the American Medical Association's medical education research collaborative, Innovative Strategies for Transforming the Education of Physicians and includes the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston University School of Medicine, the Harvard Medical School/Cambridge Health Alliance, the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Creighton University School of Medicine, the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Drexel University College of Medicine.

The NIDA CoE program is part of NIDAMED — NIDA's ongoing commitment to the medical community to provide scientifically accurate and useful resources for addressing substance abuse in their patients. NIDAMED offers a variety of tools, including an online interactive screening tool to help doctors accurately assess their patient's substance use.

The warning letters directed the companies to cease the marketing and sale of these products immediately or to take other appropriate action to bring the products into compliance with the law. Failure to do so may result in additional regulatory actions such as seizure or injunction. In addition, FDA requested a written response from each of the companies within 15 days outlining the corrective actions taken.

Enforcement of the flavored cigarette ban is FDA's effort to remove cigarettes that contain certain candy or fruit flavors from the marketplace. Removal of these products from the market will assist in the prevention of children and adolescents from starting to smoke and in the reduction in death and disease caused by smoking.

'FDA takes the enforcement of this flavored cigarette ban seriously,' said Lawrence R. Deyton, M.S.P.H, M.D., director of FDA's Center for Tobacco Products. These actions should send a clear message to those who continue to break the law that FDA will take necessary actions to protect our children from initiating tobacco use.'

The Tobacco Control Act, which was passed by Congress and signed by the President in June 2009, specifically called for a ban on cigarettes containing certain characterizing flavors. On Sept. 14, 2009, FDA sent a letter to regulated industry reminding them that the ban would go into effect on Sept. 22, 2009. FDA also stated in the letter that any company who continued to sell such products after the Sept. 22, 2009, effective date may be subject to FDA enforcement actions.

Since the effective date of the ban, FDA has examined products offered for import and searched the Internet to identify illegal products. As a result, FDA issued several warning letters to companies and Web sites that continued to market and sell these illegal products over the Internet to consumers in the United States. The warning letters were the result of Internet searches conducted by FDA's Office of Enforcement and the Center for Tobacco Products.

FDA posted the warning letters that detail the offending websites and flavored cigarette products on the agency's Web site. Review warning letters issued by FDA:

Chairman and CEO Scott Davis was joined by members of the UPS Board of Directors and senior executives in launching the trading day on Friday. Davis is the 10th chairman and CEO in UPS's 102-year history but only the third to spend time guiding the affairs of a "public" UPS.

UPS, founded as a Seattle messenger service in 1907 by a 19-year-old named Jim Casey, was owned privately by employees, retirees and various foundations until Nov. 10, 1999. On that day, UPS issued 109.4 million Class B shares representing 10 percent of the company's outstanding shares at an IPO price of $50 per share.

At the time, the $5.47 billion raised on that day was the largest domestic IPO ever. Over the ensuing 10 years, public ownership of UPS has grown from 10 percent of the company's stock to 70 percent.

"The IPO marked another milestone in our 102-year history that allowed us to lever our financial strength to expand our business," said Davis, noting UPS now offers a broad range of logistics, supply chain, freight, customs brokerage, financial and retail services.

"I firmly believe that going public facilitated execution of UPS's strategy to become the leading global transportation solutions provider," he added. "UPS is better positioned today than at any time in its history."

All fifty-eight patients, with a median age of 63 and all with advanced acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome - a pre-leukemic condition - saw their blood cancers go into remission using a novel combination of low-intensity chemotherapy, targeted radiation delivery by an antibody and a stem-cell transplant. Forty percent of the patients were alive a year after treatment and approximately 35 percent had survived three years, about the same rates as patients who received similar treatment but whose disease was already in remission and who had much more favorable risk for relapse when therapy began.

Results of the research appear online in the journal Blood. The principal investigator and corresponding author of the paper is John Pagel, M.D., Ph.D, a transplant oncologist and assistant member of the Hutchinson Center's Clinical Research Division.

The purpose of the study was to find the maximum dose of radiation that patients could tolerate with acceptable toxic side effects, not to assess how effective the novel treatment was, according to Pagel and colleagues. However, "the results appear to be very encouraging and warrant us to study it further for patients who really have no significant other curative options," Pagel said.

Older (over age 50) patients with active, advanced leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome pose the most difficult treatment challenges because standard transplant therapy rarely works, according to Pagel. Both standard and low-dose therapies (a process sometimes known as a "mini transplant" and pioneered at the Hutchinson Center) used to kill leukemia cells in the bloodstream in preparation for a transplant usually require that patients be in remission.

The patients in this study, who came from all over the world to participate in the Phase 1 clinical trial, were in large part those with active relapsed disease that in many cases had failed to respond to standard therapies. Eighty-six percent of the 58 patients had active disease and only 10 percent were in remission when therapy was begun. Their cancers had failed previous treatment attempts. "These were people who had extremely advanced high-risk disease, they were typically older - most of them were in their 60s and some were in their 70s - and had few or no other options for a potential cure. In fact most, if not all, would not been offered a stem cell transplant here or elsewhere. It is fair to say that these patients would likely have died without a transplant being performed if they had not been given the opportunity to participate in this study."

To find the optimal dose of radiation, researchers began at 12 Gy (Gray, a unit of measurement of absorbed radiation dose) and escalated the dosages in increments of 2 Gy up to a Gy of 26. At that dose, some toxicity to the heart and lungs was found so they concluded 24 Gy to be the maximum effective dosage. The 21 patients who received the maximum radiation dose have survived the longest, researchers reported.

The key to success in this study was use of a radiolabeled antibody that has therapeutic iodine 131 attached and is designed to target leukemic bloods cells that carry a marker on the surface of the cell known as CD45. Its use in delivering targeted amounts of radiation was developed several years ago at the Hutchinson Center. Delivered intravenously, the radiation looks for the CD45 antigen receptor on the surface of blood cells. This approach results in a two- to four-fold increase in the amount of radiation that reaches cancerous cells as compared to standard external beam radiation, which also radiates normal surrounding organs and tissue. The more radiation that can be applied, the more cancer cells will be killed in preparation for donor stem cells to take over the diseased immune system and kill off the remaining cancer cells.

Pagel said further research is needed to test more patients at the highest radiation dose both at the Hutchinson Center and at other transplant centers around the country.

Joining Pagel in the study were colleagues from the Hutchinson Center, the Pacific Northwest Laboratory and the departments of Medicine, Pediatrics and Nuclear Medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine.

Grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of America, the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation, the Edson Foundation and the Frederick Kullman Memorial Fund supported this research.

At Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, our interdisciplinary teams of world-renowned scientists and humanitarians work together to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, HIV/AIDS and other diseases.

Regensburg, Germany, An LED that offers high efficiency, good color rendering and a pleasant warm white light has now been developed in the laboratories of OSRAM Opto Semiconductors. The prototype therefore offers three important properties that together are essential for general illumination applications, namely a color temperature of 3000 K, a color rendering index of 82 and an efficiency of 104 lm/W.

A new converter mix that OSRAM is currently testing in its development laboratory provides a pleasant warm white light.

The pleasant light from this warm white LED is the result of an advanced conversion process. Not only is the quality of light excellent, the efficiency with which it is produced is also impressive. The combination of these properties is essential for the widespread use of LEDs for general illumination as the warm white light color is targeted specifically at the residential sector. Up to now, efficiencies in excess of 100 lm/W have been achieved only in the cold white spectrum. Dr. Frank Baumann, project manager for the development of warm white LEDs at OSRAM Opto Semiconductors explains: 'The successful combination of high quality of light and excellent energy efficiency will bring the commercial breakthrough for LED technology even closer. Efficient feel-good light is no longer just a vision.'

At 3000 K the light color of the LED is similar to that of a halogen lamp. Its color location is precisely on the Planckian curve. The light is exactly white showing no shift to the green spectral region. With an operating current of 350 mA and a chip surface of 1 mm2 the prototype of the new single-chip LED achieves a brightness of 124 lm. This corresponds to an efficiency of 104 lm/W. These record results are based on in-depth OSRAM know-how in providing a new chip architecture in conjunction with improvements in the epitaxial processes, improvements in the converter mix and a highefficiency package. OSRAM will be gradually integrating the new technologies into production.

OSRAM is part of the Industry sector of Siemens and one of the two leading lighting manufacturers in the world. Sales for the OSRAM group worldwide in the year ending September 30, 2008 totaled 4.6 billion euros, 88 percent of which came from outside Germany. OSRAM is a high-tech company in the lighting industry. Over 65 percent of sales come from energy-efficient products. This global player employs more than 43,500 people worldwide, supplies customers in some 150 countries and has 46 production facilities in 17 countries.

Los Angeles, CA- The Fairest, an exclusive, members-only online beauty destination where beauty lovers can participate in premiere-brand, private events, each open for 48-72 hours, announces the appointment of Arthur Swanberg as CEO and Kim Logan as Vice President of Merchandising.

Prior to joining The Fairest, Swanberg served as CEO of Dermstore.com and Glow.com, building them into two of the top ecommerce sites in beauty and successfully selling the companies in 2008. According to Charles Perer, Partner at Intermix Capital and board member of The Fairest: 'Art brings both a history of success and unparalleled knowledge of the online beauty space.'

Logan, who led Business Development at Dermstore.com and Glow.com, has been appointed Vice President of Merchandising. Logan was responsible for building Dermstore.com's stable of brands to over 325 prestige brands and 9,000 SKUs. According to Swanberg: 'Kim's commitment, honesty and integrity is beyond reproach and this is widely recognized in the beauty space. We're fortunate to have her on The Fairest team.'

Both, Swanberg and Logan, have stratified a new positioning for The Fairest that embodies The Fairest as an online event commerce site that generates consistent excitement around the numerous featured brands through a series of value events targeted towards its members. By focusing on value-driven events for only a handful of SKUs and targeting an exclusive members-only subscriber base, The Fairest can actually increase traffic to a manufacturer's brick and mortar customers much the same way that events on HSN and QVC increase the overall awareness for a brand and drive traditional retail sales.

As for consumers, The Fairest is the place to shop for beauty enthusiasts who want to experience new brands. 'Although women gain a strong affinity to specific beauty products used in their daily regimens, time, trends and friends provide a fluid and fertile environment of change,' states Arthur Swanberg, CEO. 'The struggle for most women is to evolve their beauty habits, and feed their sense of experimentation and excitement for 'new,' while also realizing value.'

The Fairest restores the excitement inherent in discovering a new product in a rewarding, value-driven environment, and allows a woman to share her experience with friends. 'Brick and mortar retail stores have long known the value of event marketing, offering trunk sales and special value events, which allow a woman a guiltless outing with friends. This aspect of shopping has been overlooked in traditional ecommerce retailing,' says Swanberg.

About The Fairest:
www.TheFairest.com is the go-to site for purchasing favorite beauty brands at a great value. Forging a new channel of distribution for manufacturers, the event commerce site focuses exclusively on beauty by providing a platform for brands to communicate directly with consumers in an exciting, event-driven environment. This includes: user-generated makeup brand reviews, industry insider commentaries, and expert editorial content from site editor, Nadine Jolie. Site launch partners included: Stila, Clark's Botanicals, Korres, Anastasia, Tarte, Jurlique and BURN.
