Highway: Well, it seemed like the thing to do, sir.
Judge Zane: Just because there's no war going on does not give you the right to start one every time you get drunk. Now I'm taking into account your excellent military record and your commitment to the security of this great nation. But this is your last chance. One hundred dollar fine. Next!
Highway: [as he's leaving the courtroom] Your nightstick file for divorce, Reese?
Reese: [outside the courtroom] Who the hell do you think you are? Pissin' on my squad car. You think you can break our rules and then just walk away? Or are we supposed to wet our pants over your dress blues and your Goddamn colored ribbons. Take a look at that file of yours sometime, hero. Check the dates. It's ancient fucking history. You know, one of these Saturday nights you're going to be puking blood in some alley and you're going to look up and see me standing there. Then we'll see.

Gates finally gets his Harvard degree
By The Associated Press
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Harvard University's most famous dropout finally got his college degree.
Bill Gates, who co-founded Microsoft Corp. and became the world's richest man after leaving Harvard in 1975, returned today to accept an honorary degree and speak at the school's 356th commencement.
"I will be changing my job next year," Gates said, referring to his plan to give up his day-to-day role at Microsoft in July 2008. "It will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume."
Gates has been concentrating on philanthropy, through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation he began with his wife.
"It's revolting to learn that some lives are seen as worth saving and others are not," Gates said.

Report: Ebola outbreak probably started with 2-year-old in Guinea
By Madison Park, CNN
updated 10:12 AM EDT, Tue August 12, 2014
(CNN) -- The worst outbreak of Ebola, which has killed 961 people and triggered an international public health emergency, may have started with a 2-year-old patient in a village in Guinea.
About eight months ago, the toddler, whom researchers believe may have been Patient Zero, suffered fever, black stool and vomiting. Just four days after showing the painful symptoms, the child died on December 6, 2013, according to a report published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Scientists don't know exactly how the toddler contracted the virus. Ebola is spread from animals to humans through infected fluids or tissue, according to the World Health Organization.
"In Africa, infection has been documented through the handling of infected chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines," WHO says, though researchers think fruit bats are what they call the virus's "natural host."
Researchers who published the paper this year found a chain of illnesses in the toddler's family.
After the child's death, the mother suffered bleeding symptoms and died on December 13, according to the report. Then, the toddler's 3-year-old sister died on December 29, with symptoms including fever, vomiting and black diarrhea. The illness subsequently affected the toddler's grandmother, who died on January 1, in the family's village of Meliandou in Guéckédou.
The area in southern Guinea is close to the Sierra Leone and Liberia borders.
The illness spread outside their village after several people attended the grandmother's funeral.
Funerals tend to bring people in close contact with the body. Ebola spreads from person to person through contact with organs and bodily fluids such as blood, saliva, urine and other secretions of infected people. It has no known cure.
READ: 'This is unprecedented'
Two of the funeral attendees appeared to bring back the virus to their village, and it spread to health care workers and other family members who took care of infected patients.
"A health care worker from Guéckédou with suspected disease, seems to have triggered the spread of the virus to Macenta, Nzérékoré, and Kissidougou in February 2014," stated the report, noting that more Guinea towns were affected.
Clusters of the disease popped up in early 2014 in these areas, with the initial patients suffering fever, vomiting and severe diarrhea, according to the report. Hemorrhaging was less frequent, the report noted.
In early March, the Ministry of Health in Guinea and Doctors Without Borders in Guinea were notified about the disease clusters.
Health investigators arrived that month and began tracing the disease by examining hospital documents and conducting interviews with affected families and villagers.
Ebola has now spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria, prompting global concerns.
The report about the emergence of Ebola in Guinea was authored by dozens of international doctors and researchers from institutions in France, Germany, Guinea, WHO and Doctors Without Borders.

Ebola at 6 months
On 26 December 2013, a 2-year-old boy in the remote Guinean village of Meliandou fell ill with a mysterious illness characterized by fever, black stools, and vomiting. He died 2 days later. Retrospective case-finding by WHO would later identify that child as West Africa’s first case of Ebola virus disease. The circumstances surrounding his illness were ominous.

New Gates Foundation CEO is expert in drug development [ RACKETEER INFLUENCED AND CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS US Title 18 ]
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s new CEO is an academic, a physician, a biotech star and the organization’s first leader from outside Microsoft.
By Sandi Doughton
Seattle Times science reporter
Dr. Susan Desmond-Hellmann says she had a “perfectly good job” when Bill and Melinda Gates came calling.
As chancellor of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), Desmond-Hellmann had piloted the school through both budget cuts and expansion, and she still loved the work.
But the Gates Foundation co-founders dangled a better offer: CEO of the world’s richest philanthropy.
“The more I spoke with Bill and Melinda, and the more I learned about the foundation and its mission, I found it very compelling,” Desmond-Hellmann said in an interview Tuesday. “I frankly felt like I couldn’t say no.”
When she takes the reins in May from current CEO Jeff Raikes, Desmond-Hellmann will be the first physician to lead the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation — and the foundation’s first leader with no ties to Microsoft.
But her résumé, which includes a stellar track record in drug development and a stint doing HIV research in Africa, seems well-suited to the foundation’s efforts to improve health in the developing world.
“Sue’s background in public-health policy, research and development, and higher education make her an exceptional fit for this role,” Bill Gates said in a statement.
Before joining UCSF in 2009, Desmond-Hellmann earned a fortune and a reputation as a biotech innovator at Genentech, the San Francisco company that pioneered genetically targeted drugs. During her tenure as chief of product development, Genentech became the country’s leading producer of cancer treatments, with blockbusters like Avastin, for colon cancer, and Herceptin, used against some types of breast cancer.
That background in moving drugs from the laboratory to the marketplace could serve Desmond-Hellmann well as she takes on one of the foundation’s biggest challenges in the coming years: Ensuring that new vaccines, drugs and technologies actually reach some of the world’s poorest people.
“I can’t imagine someone who has more relevant experience,” said Dr. Robert Wachter , professor and chief of the Division of Hospital Medicine at UCSF. “She understands drug development ... and how to get drugs to the people who need them.”
At UCSF, Desmond-Hellmann also helped forge collaborations with the pharmaceutical industry, which has been a key — though sometimes reluctant — ally in Gates’ push for new and inexpensive medications.
“What I find frustrating is that when people innovate in the IT world, every innovation seems better and cheaper,” she said. “But our history in the health world is that every innovation seems better, but is almost never cheaper.”
Desmond-Hellmann, 56, got to know Bill and Melinda Gates by serving on the foundation’s science advisory board. Her husband, Dr.? Nicholas Hellmann, formerly served as director of the foundation’s HIV programs.
After finishing their medical training at UCSF, the couple spent two years in Uganda studying transmission of the virus that causes AIDS.
“I learned an enormous amount from that experience, not least of which is great humility about what I know and don’t know,” Desmond-Hellmann said.
With an endowment of $40?billion and more than 1,100 employees, the Gates Foundation has just weathered a period of rapid growth and reorganization overseen by Raikes, a former Microsoft executive known for his charm and management skill.
Under his leadership, the foundation narrowed its health focus to several key diseases, like malaria and HIV, but also broadened its emphasis on agriculture, family planning and other efforts to fight poverty.
Desmond-Hellmann will bring a winning personality to the job, along with the hard-nosed business perspective that ruffled some feathers in academia, Wachter predicted.
“She’s charismatic, she’s a very good listener, she’s a very broad thinker,” he said. She’s also not afraid of controversy, he added.
The Gates Foundation has come under fire for its support of genetically engineered crops and for the outsized influence it wields in education and global health.
Critics are also pushing the foundation to purge its investment portfolio of stock in companies like Coca-Cola and ExxonMobil, whose products and practices are seen by some as antithetical to goals such as improving nutrition and helping farmers cope with climate change.
As UCSF chancellor, Desmond-Hellmann found herself in a similar quandary when The New York Times revealed that her personal portfolio included a significant amount of stock in Altria, the parent company of cigarette-maker Philip Morris. She sold the stock and donated the proceeds to the university’s tobacco-control center.

Susan Desmond-Hellmann Named Chief Executive Officer of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
SEATTLE (December 17, 2013) -- The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has selected Susan Desmond-Hellmann, M.D., M.P.H., as its next chief executive officer. Currently the chancellor of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), Desmond-Hellmann will assume her role on May 1, 2014.
"We chose Sue because of her scientific knowledge and deep technical expertise on the foundation’s issues, as well as the organizational and leadership skills required to lead a large, growing and dynamic global organization. Sue shares our commitment and passion to create a more equitable world," said Melinda Gates, co-chair of the foundation.
“I am honored by the opportunity that Bill and Melinda have extended to me. I’m excited to join such a dynamic and ambitious organization, with such a clear and focused mission—improving the lives of the world’s most vulnerable,” said Desmond-Hellmann.
"Sue’s background in public health policy, research and development, and higher education, make her an exceptional fit for this role. She impressed us as an innovator and an outstanding leader and manager," said Bill Gates, co-chair of the foundation.
An oncologist by training, Desmond-Hellmann is a recognized leader on issues of higher education, public health, drug development, regulatory innovation and health policy. She has led UCSF since August 2009, when she became the first woman to serve as the university’s chancellor, overseeing all aspects of the university and medical center’s strategy, academic programs and operations. She has extensive experience in product development, and a deep understanding of how to bridge applied research to delivery of product. Prior to her tenure at UCSF, she was President of Product Development at Genentech, where she led the development and introduction of two of the first gene-targeted therapies for cancer, Avastin and Herceptin.
Desmond-Hellmann also served as a member of Genentech’s executive committee, beginning in 1996. She sits on the boards of directors of Procter and Gamble and Facebook, and was previously a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco’s Economic Advisory Council.
Desmond-Hellmann will take over from Jeff Raikes, who announced his retirement from the foundation in September 2013 after five years at the helm. He was the foundation's second CEO, and served after a long and successful career as a senior executive at Microsoft.

CHAPTER 4
AAR
"You think you can do it?" another congresswoman this one from San Francisco-asked. Women of all sorts found themselves drawn to this man. Money, power, good looks, and good manners made it inevitable.
John Brightling smiled broadly. "Ask me in five years. We know the gene. We need to learn how to turn it off. There's a whole lot of basic science in there we have to uncover, and along the way we hope to discover a lot of very useful things. It's like setting off with Magellan. We aren't sure what we're going to find, but we know it'll all be interesting." No one pointed out that Magellan hadn't made it home from that particular trip.
"And profitable?" a new senator from Wyoming asked.
"That's how our society works, isn't it? We pay people for doing useful work. Is this area useful enough?"
"If you bring it off, I suppose it is." This senator was himself a physician, a family practitioner who knew the basics but was well over his head on the deep-scientific side. The concept, the objective of Horizon Corporation, was well beyond breathtaking, but he would not bet against them. They'd done too well developing cancer drugs and synthetic antibiotics, and were the leading private company in the Human Genome Project, a global effort to decode the basics of human life. Himself a genius, John Brightling had found it easy to attract others like himself to his company. He had more charisma than a hundred politicians, and unlike the latter, the senator had to admit to himself, he really had something to back up the showmanship. It had once been called "the right stuff'! or pilots. With his movie-star looks, ready smile, superb listening ability, and dazzlingly analytical mind, Dr. John Brightling had the knack. He could make anyone near him! gel interesting-and the bastard could teach, could apply his lessons to everyone nearby. Simple ones for the unschooled and highly sophisticated ones for the specialists in his field, at the top of which he reigned supreme. Oh, lie had a few peers. Pat Reily at Harvard-Mass General. Aaron Bernstein at Johns Hopkins. Jacques Elise at Pasteur. Maybe Paul Ging at U.C. Berkeley. But that was it. What a fine clinician Brightling might have made, the senator-M.D. thought, but, no, he was too good to be wasted on people with the latest version of the flu.
About the only thing in which he'd failed was his marriage. Well, Carol Brightling was also pretty smart, but more political than scientific, and perhaps her ego, capacious as everyone in this city knew it to be, had quailed before the greater intellectual gifts of her husband. Only room in town for one of us, the doctor from Wyoming thought, with an inner smile. That happened often enough in real life, not just on old movies. And Brightling, John, seemed to be doing better in that respect than Brightling, Carol. At the former's elbow was a very pretty redhead drinking in his every word, while the latter had come alone, and would be leaving alone for her apartment in Georgetown. Well, the senator-M.D. thought, that's life.
Immortality. Damn, all the pronghorns he might take, the doctor from Cody thought on
