Once again this year, both ASPET and Experimental Biology had record attendance.

It offers, as well, an occasion to comment on my perspectives of the status of the Society and its directions for the future. Although potentially dangerous, I revisited my “Candidate’s Statement” for the 2004 election to see how closely aligned those objectives and statements were with the course of activities that have occurred over the past year. They provide a suitable context for us to review the past year’s activities and provide a commentary, as well, on the current status and future directions of the Society. The first area of stated focus was that “ASPET must continue to serve and adapt to the needs of its existing members, while ensuring that it is able to attract and retain new members.” The very unfortunate occurrence and widespread devastation of Katrina in the Fall of 2005 prompted several initiatives by ASPET to assist members and students that were affected by the hurricane. In response to the impact of Katrina on ASPET members and students, ASPET Council established a Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund that provided grants to ASPET Student members and relief from expenses for the EB ’06 meeting for member scientists affected by the hurricane. Dues for members affected by Katrina were also waived for the current year. The funds were provided in part from the Society’s operating budget but also from the generous donations from ASPET members and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). There were also responses from ASPET Journals and offers by members to host displaced scientists both in the home and in the laboratory. The response was significant and reassuring in attempting to help both students and members manage through a very difficult time. Although only a small segment of the Society’s members were affected, the larger base of support was indicative of the collegiality we have across our organization and certainly reflects ASPET’s ability to serve and adapt to the needs of its members, even under unforeseen and catastrophic circumstances. This adaptation by the Society to members whose areas are evolving in new directions has also been seen in our response to changes reflective of the normal and beneficial progression of science. Council has approved the change in name of the Division of Clinical Pharmacology to that of the Division of Clinical Pharmacology, Pharmacogenomics and Translational Medicine to embrace the emergence of these important scientific developments. One area of focus for the Society, led primarily by Jim Bernstein, ASPET Director of Government and Public Affairs, is that of “Integrative Pharmacology.” Despite the widespread recognition that this is an area where training has diminished considerably, but where the need for individuals trained in this area continues to accelerate, substantive responses to address this challenge have languished in the U.S. Jim organized a meeting in March of this year that brought several individuals from pharmaceutical companies together to hear Michael Collis, the founder of the Integrative Pharmacology Fund that has generated millions of dollars from both industry and government to support the training of in vivo, integrative pharmacologists in the U.K. This is an area of opportunity for ASPET to address critical training and resource needs. The ASPET-Merck Postdoctoral Fellowships in Integrative Pharmacology and the Short Courses in Integrative Organ Systems Science are very worthy initiatives in this endeavor, but more aggressive efforts are needed to bolster these initiatives. With regard to attracting new members, ASPET enrolled 471 new members over the past year. As part of our commitment to not only attract new members but to make sure we provide the services that our current members want, Council approved the creation of a new position, Member Services Marketing Manager. That position was filled in April by Suzie Thompson, also the Editor of this newsletter. Additionally, ASPET awarded 79 graduate student travel awards, 28 Young Scientist Travel Awards and 5 SURF Travel Awards to EB’06; 18 additional Institutional SURF awards were funded for 2006. ASPET is making 20 Graduate Student Awards and 7 James A. Bain Young Scientist Travel Awards to the upcoming IUPHAR Congress in Beijing. These are tremendous initiatives that foster early commitment to students in pharmacology, but further efforts must be made to ensure the continued growth and enhancement of the Society. A second area of emphasis was that “ASPET must continue to be diligent as well as proactive in its fiscal responsibility, implementing financial and revenue planning, while not compromising its member services, educational initiatives, or its preparation for the future.” As presented at the EB ’06 meeting by Pat Sonsalla, Secretary/Treasurer of ASPET, this is the first time in many years that the budget projected for the year will be ‘in the black.’ This is a reflection of some draconian changes that were implemented by Council in years past, by some A Publication of the American

    “I Was Just Doing a Little Joke There”: Irony and the Paradoxes of the Sitcom in The Office1 ERIC DETWEILER BOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE SECOND-SEASON FINALE OF THE defunct Fox sitcom Arrested Development, the viewer is con- A fronted with the following situation: teenager George Michael Bluth is attempting to break up with his girlfriend, Ann. As he tries to do so, however, Ann—a blossoming member of the Religious Right —invites him to come along to protest the premiere of a racy film: “I want to get the whole gang from church together: we’re going to picket those bastards” (“Righteous Brothers”). Upon hearing Ann swear, George Michael enters a brief flashback, which the viewer is guided through by the show’s narrator, Ron Howard: “George Michael had only heard Ann swear once before: when he joined some of her youth group to protest the home of Marc Cherry, executive producer of the hit show Desperate Housewives.” The youth group is shown standing outside Cherry’s house, holding signs with such slogans as “God doesn’t care about ratings” and chanting, “There’s nothing funny about fornication!” As the scene unfolds, Cherry appears in the window and stares perplexedly at the protesters. After a moment’s pause, he opens the window and shouts, “It’s a satire!” An exasperated Cherry then dis- appears back inside, an emotionally charged Ann plants a kiss on George Michael, and the flashback ends. Although Arrested Development is not the central text at hand here, this scene gets at the layers of narrative and irony present in post- millennial sitcoms—layers central to this article’s investigation.

  • Threat Level Midnight Full Movie
    Threat level midnight full movie Continue Michael Scorn's Threat Level Midnight Office fans of the world have long wanted to see Michael Scott's action movie, The Threat Level Midnight, in his gloriously campy whole. Consider this an early holiday treat, the way the team behind the show has just released the full official version. Watch it below. As The Complex reminds us, the idea for an action film was first introduced in Season 2 when Pam (Jenna Fisher) came across a script for a spy film written by her boss, Scott (Steve Carell). Viewers eventually got a peek into a few scenes in Season 7 when colleagues screened the film. However, so far, a full short can only be a scene as a bonus feature included in the season 7 DVD. In Threat Level Midnight, Scott plays a super spy named Michael Scarn who goes undercover as a hockey player to save the evil Goldenface (played by Jim, a.g. John Krasinski) from destroying the NHL All-Star Game. The challenge appears to have hit a free heartstring for Scarn as his wife Catherine zeta-Scarn was killed during the WNBA All-Star Game. See how he's up to the task, and see where all the other members of the Office cast fit into the story below. In the news, NBC will voice the Office reboot as a target for its upcoming streaming service Peacock. The platform will also be home to the show's original nine seasons once they leave Netflix in 2021.

Michael thinks of himself as a friend first, boss A Summary of the season to date. second and “probably an entertainer/comedian third”. In his constant search for friendship and approval, Mi- chael can be socially awkward. Often entirely inept and insensitive to even basic HR issues, Michael has a knack for coming through when it counts, thus keeping his job safe for now. Dwight K. Schrute: Dwight is the eccentric Assistant to the Regional Manager (though he considers himself the Assistant Regional Manager). Dwight is passionate about paper, and is one of Scranton’s top salesmen. He lives on a beet farm and is a voluntary Sherriff’s Deputy on the weekends. Despite his know-it-all mentality, Dwight is actually naïve and often easily tormented by co-worker Jim Halpert. For some time, Dwight was ro- mantically linked to co-worker Angela Martin. However, that relationship came to an abrupt end when he killed her cat.

This character’s juggling skills impress Kevin and Creed, though others in the office are less impressed because the juggling balls are invisible. This character tells the other office members to “raise your hand if you have a vagina” and later to “raise your hand if you love someone who has a vagina.” This brief (*) manager of the Scranton branch picks up a piece of cake with his hand and subsequently throws it away, only to messily grab another piece because he claims that “You know what? I’ve been good,” referring to the fact that he’d lost over two hundred pounds. For ten points, name this brash character played by Will Ferrell who replaces Michael Scott as manager of the office. ANSWER: DeAngelo Vickers (accept either name; do not accept Will Ferrell) Bonus: In the third season, Michael tells Dwight and Jim to order two strippers for Phyllis’s bridal shower.
