It seems like everyone has an Uncle Bud. Mine slipped the chain last night at his home in eastern Washington after a lengthy bout with lung cancer. He was almost 89. He had a long and good life, but was otherwise as ordinary as any of the rest of us. I mention him only as he was a member of the Greatest Generation who left college when World War II began and enlisted in the Marine Corps. He wound up as a tail gunner in Dauntless dive bombers flying missions out of Henderson Field on Guadalcanal and living in Skunk Hollow. The gunner in the two-seat dive bomber got to fly facing backwards and look back at the explosion the plane just created. He survived all that and went on to fly off carriers by the end of the war. I mention him only because I don’t want to forget this generation as its number gets fewer. See you later, Bud. Semper Fi!

Hey Capt.,
I love the last few jobs on the list. They can’t say you don’t have a variety. I hope you are well.

*** Freaked out:
Ned —
Oh, my freakin' gawd! I can't believe a) someone (or perhaps several someones) complained about the alternative selections and that b) a full 8% of respondents (at this point) say they're inappropriate.
Two things appear to be missing in these folks: tolerance and a sense of humor. LIGHTEN UP!
Sincerely,

*** Write-in vote:
Ned:
My screen doesn't show the voting box, but please count me as a “yes” for continuing to post the alternative selections. They are both funny and informative – as in, what might I do next? BTW over the weekend I saw a great documentary called “Lemonade” produced by a bunch of laid-off ad execs. It is certainly worth a watch. Virtually of of the people in it are doing “alternative jobs” now.
Alternative jobs… are they not a viable alternative to “job-postings-that-never-go-away”? The latter seems to be a particularly troublesome feature of many, many communications jobs that get posted (they end up being posted for months or even years). Either the hiring organization can't make up its mind whether it really NEEDS a new communicator, or that “perfect person” just doesn't exist. Which is, really, true.

*** Narrow view:
I cannot believe the narrow view some people exhibit when ever anything gets out of the narrow channel in which they live. Get a life people, the world is actually round, there are other opinions besides yours and they also are valid. Get excited about something that actually makes a difference.

About Amicus Therapeutics: Amicus Therapeutics is a late-stage
biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and
commercialization of novel small molecule, orally-administered drugs
known as pharmacological chaperones, for the treatment of a range of
human genetic diseases and diseases of neurodegeneration.
Amicus is committed to developing its pharmacological chaperone
technology and has built a robust clinical and preclinical pipeline of
small molecule, orally-administered agents.
As part of Amicus strategic business plan, the Company is focused in
three key areas:
– The Phase 3 development of its lead program, AT1001 for the treatment
of Fabry disease;
– Advancement of pharmacological chaperones used in combination with
enzyme replacement therapies (ERT) for the treatment of lysosomal
storage diseases; and
– Advancement of its lead pre-clinical programs that utilize its
pharmacological chaperone technology for the treatment of diseases of
neurodegeneration.
Amicus is in Phase 3 clinical development with its flagship product
candidate, AT1001 for the treatment of Fabry disease. In the second
quarter of 2009, Amicus announced that the Company reached agreement
with the FDA on the key protocol design elements of its pivotal trial,
including the use of the surrogate primary endpoint of the change in the
amount of kidney interstitial capillary GL-3, the substrate that
accumulates in the cells of Fabry patients. In addition, the FDA is in
agreement that the Company is eligible to seek Accelerated Approval for
AT1001 according to Subpart H regulations. Amicus began submitting the
Phase 3 protocol to investigational sites worldwide in June 2009 and
patient enrollment and dosing are now underway. The Company expects to
report top-line data from this trial in the second half of 2011.
The advancement of the use of pharmacological chaperones in combination
with enzyme replacement therapies for the treatment of lysosomal storage
diseases and potentially more broadly with other recombinant protein
therapies remains a priority for the Company. Amicus is building an
increasingly strong body of preclinical evidence and will continue to
evaluate options for taking those programs forward with the combination
approaches and the potential to move from pre-clinical to clinical proof
of concept.
Amicus has an advanced pre-clinical program utilizing its
pharmacological chaperone technology for the treatment of Parkinsons
disease with unique molecules, a unique target and what has the
potential to be a very ground breaking approach to treating this
devastating disease.
Amicus has broad, issued intellectual property around the methods, use,
and composition of pharmacological chaperones to treat genetic diseases
and diseases of neurodegeneration. In addition to the currently issued
patents, Amicus has several patent applications pending.
Since its inception in 2002, Amicus has assembled a world-class
leadership team with proven expertise in drug discovery, development and
