Rib-X Pharmaceuticals, Inc.



Followed by networking, refreshments & wine bar

Rib-X Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is focused on the design and development of novel small-molecule antibiotics for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant infections in hospital and community settings. Since its inception in 2001, Rib-X has established a portfolio of development and discovery-stage compounds that address various segments in the diverse antibiotic marketplace, including RX-3341, a broad spectrum quinolone antibiotic which will soon enter Phase 3 studies as an IV agent and RX-1741, an oxazolidinone antibiotic now in two Phase 2 studies as an oral agent.

Many classical antibiotics work by inhibiting the function of the ribosome. A key competitive advantage for Rib-X is its proprietary access to the high-resolution crystal structure of the ribosome, a molecule which is essential for the viability of all bacterial pathogens and the target of numerous valuable antibiotics.

Rib-X's research goal is to use chemical and physical information from the three-dimensional structure of the ribosome to design proprietary classes of antibacterial agents that have activity against newly emerging multiple antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. Structural and computational data about how ligands block the function of this complex molecular machine are being used to prime parallel lead optimization programs focused on new chemistry ideas about the multiple binding domains or drug targets within the ribosome.

The scope of the Rib-X structure based design process will enable the Company to fully exploit the chemistry of the ribosome and build a pipeline of diverse products and as a result a sustainable franchise. Rib-X raised $50 million in a Series C Preferred Stock financing announced in June of 2006. The round was led by existing investor Warburg Pincus, the global private equity investment firm. That round of financing brought the total amount raised by the company to $123 million.

HOUSING BURST?: Eastern States are the Hardest hit in housing market?

Northeast Is Toughest Place in U.S. to Sell Homes (Update2)
By Kathleen M. Howley
Jan. 8 (Bloomberg) -- The toughest place to sell a home in the U.S. in November was the Northeast as homebuyers sat on the sidelines in an area that has seen the biggest price gains.
An index measuring signed contracts for previously owned homes fell 13 percent in the region, the most in the country, the National Association of Realtors said today in a report. Prices there jumped more than sixfold over the past 26 years, leading the U.S., according to the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, or Ofheo.
*********************************************
The pending sale index's drop in states including New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut was triple other U.S. regions and demonstrates home sellers are having to lower expectations as the real estate slump worsens. Nationally, the number of Americans signing contracts to buy previously owned homes fell 2.6 percent in November from October, according to the Realtors' Pending Home Sales Index.
``The northeast is getting hit hard,'' said Paul Rinkulis, an agent at Keliher Real Estate in Boston. ``It's at least as bad as it was in the late 1980s, early 1990s, and that was bad.''
The Realtors report showed pending resales fell in three of four regions. In addition to the Northeast's 13 percent drop, the pending sales index decreased 4.1 percent in the Midwest and 2.1 percent in the West. The pending sales rose 2.3 percent in the South. The figures are seasonally adjusted.

New Britain (WTNH) _ Racial tensions are reaching the breaking point at Central Connecticut State University, so today for the second time in two months, students came together on campus for a rally.
Several incidents over the past few weeks on the New Britain campus have brought attention to what some describe as a climate of intolerance.

Federal Immigration Raid in New Haven-

The following news sounds like a funny story, but it is not, it is about a recent raid in New Haven locality to arrest illegal immigrants.

E-mails from federal immigration raid released
Mary E. O’Leary, Register Topics Editor
11/01/2007

HARTFORD — The e-mail from federal immigration officials described the operation as a "fun time" and they hoped their colleagues at the state police could come and "play."
"Sounds great!"
was the response from Detective Carmine Verno at the state police.

The e-mails, which were partially redacted, were released this week to Yale lawyers representing two advocacy groups interested in the state police role in the June 6 raid in New Haven by federal immigration officials in which 29 people were arrested.An employee of the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement e-mailed Verno that they had an operation planned for May 2 in New Haven."I know you guys usually work nights, but if you’re interested we’d love to have you! We have 18 addresses — so it should be a fun time.!! Let me know if you guys can play!!" said the ICE official in the April 30 e-mail to Verno."Sounds great!" Verno wrote back, who said he would run it by his bosses. Mary E. O’Leary can be reached at 789-5731 or moleary@nhregister.com.

Some times it is difficult to Understand Why?

I have noticed the letters in the school name hanging for quite some time almost a year as of today (Jan 2007) and it is still hanging?. A local school in New Haven, East Rock area either has no time to look around or did not care to fix it?. The letter "I" is half-fallen from the fixuture. Unfortunately neither the school administration, staff nor the public tried to inform the school and fix this.

It is certainly not a big deal to worry about, but it makes one wonder how careless people are?, if smaller things are not looked after or watched after for any problem in time, how can you expect important things in this school will be taken care.
Am I silly to notice this and write about it?. Wait, much more concerning than this school name, another irony I found in Hamden.

New Haven & Neighborhood Counselors!!

New Haven & safety?
One of the effective ways to curb this activity is to bring strategies in the existing security system, more important than this is bringing the parents and families of New Havener's together to address the issue. Parents and relatives of the deranged kids need to take extra step to counsel, provide support and monitor their kids behaviors in addition to the professional supports. There are so many ways things can be cleaned up, but care and dedication of those who deal with these issues is important too. It is an irony to see beautiful cities like New Haven and Hartford known for stray voilences. It is more ironic when such things goes on in cities where the worlds top educational institutes are located, hope the professionals will show some interest to clean up the city from these violences.

-NEW HAVEN — The city is looking to the so-called Boston Miracle as a blueprint for confronting violent young men from rival neighborhoods who are shooting each other with alarming frequency.
Over the next few months, the city says it will enlist a corps of street outreach workers from different neighborhoods to seek out the youths who are committing these crimes and to visit shooting scenes and hospital rooms to deliver a firm message that the neighborhood gang violence that is holding hostage the city’s poorest neighborhoods has to end.

New Haven SHOOTING in the Center of the City!!

Every now and then, guns and street shooting news disturbs us. In most cases, there are some links or fights involved, whatever it is, it is just not good for the city to keep witnessing these horrible crimes and shootings.
Hope the police and local administration will do something immediately that is concrete to reduce or eliminate these type of voilence that brings bad name to the city and safety concerns to the residents and visitors of the city.

Why NEW HAVEN??

New Haven -City Hall


A Commercial Bldg accross Green











New Haven is a unique city, not as huge and confusing and chaotic like New York (though I like NY in some way) nor as small and mundane like some small towns. The location of New Haven in Connecticut kind of sandwiched between the most active and world renouned Boston to the North and New York to the south, the centrality for these people to travel down to New Haven is quite convenient.

Friendly, easy to navigate except for several one way streets and twists and turns often on many streets, once if you are used to, it is just 20 min drive around to get to all the places within down town.

This is a very promising city with growth and future opportunities for business, education, culture, food and music industries. For travellers, tourists and foriegners a less expensive and entertraining city. Nearby, there are several attractions such as East Rock, West Rock, Long warf, museusms, churches, theatres and lots of food places.. City of New Haven, authorities must make sure the developmental potentials and tap the right talents around the city to use it for developing our city of New Haven. New Haven-ct......a city in Progress......!!!!

Why Lamont lost the election-in true sense it is not loss but a Gain to Dems!

Lamont's Loss to Lieberman Was A Progressive Gain

By David Sirota, In These Times. Posted November 13, 2006. Voters in Connecticut in the end went for Joe Lieberman. But Ned Lamont's insurgent anti-war campaign was a step forward for progressive forces building for the future.

Ned is like a dynamite to point out the issues and the bad direction our country is going, he blasted the great Joe Joe for all his wrong doing in the last 18 years.

It is a shame, the state of Connecticut selected him for the three terms, but this time, they relaized the mistake and are going to stand for change in voting to Ned.

We will give huge send off party to Joe .....Bye Bye Joe.

Computer Service and Repairs...!!!


Chrystems Computing LLC is a small PC service and Hardware company servicing Greater New Haven area.

I was walking towards the New Haven green few days ago, at the corner of Church and Elm, a young man was distributing a small flyer. I was handed over a flyer, though I did not read the flyer at that moment, after crossing the road later I found that it was about computer repairs and services.


Looks like these guys are not advertising heavily on newspapers and magazines, but want to make a different kind of advertisment or spread of word by personaly distributing flyer about their work. The timing was so perfect for my laptop issues that I was wondering where to get it fixed.

So, I called up the number on the flyer and I have learned that these guys can visit houses and take care of any computer harware or software repairs or services. Their fees are reasonable and service at home or office is a very convenient one besides both Chris and Rob are friendly and computer savvy guys. I had a blank or black screen on my laptop, they came to my house to have a look at it. Quite satisfied with their service, they also sell new laptops and build computers and towers.

Good service and rates, try it!!. Contact:

Latest Spinach UPDATES!!
Week of October 5, 2006
FBI raids Calif. firms in spinach probe
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061005/ap_on_he_me/tainted_spinach
SAN JUAN BAUTISTA, Calif. - The ongoing probe into the source of a nationwide
E. coli' E. coli outbreak linked to tainted spinach turned into a criminal investigation as federal agents raided two Salinas Valley produce companies. Agents from the
FBI' name=c1> SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' name=c3> FBI and the
Food and Drug Administration' name=c1> SEARCHNews News Photos Images Web' name=c3> Food and Drug Administration's criminal investigations office executed search warrants Wednesday at the Natural Selection Foods LLC plant in San Juan Bautista and Growers Express in Salinas to see if they violated food safety and environmental laws.

September 27, 2hours ago:
Meanwhile, four more bags of fresh spinach in three other states have tested positive for E. coli contamination. And the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Food and Drug Administration announced that Canada had confirmed its first case of E. coli O157:H7 in a person who ate bagged spinach.
On Tuesday, Pennsylvania health officials said that a lab identified the deadly strain in a bag of Dole baby spinach purchased on or around Sept. 8 in the western part of the state, the AP said. Also Tuesday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said E. coli had been isolated by state public health labs in Illinois and Ohio from three more opened packages of spinach. "DNA fingerprint" testing was under way to see if the strains match the outbreak strain, the agency said.
The investigation of the E. coli O157:H7 outbreak that sickened scores of people across the country and left one woman dead has been focused on three counties in the Salinas Valley, where more than half the country's spinach crop is grown.

Week of Sept 15, 2006
A california based "Natural Foods Company" seems to be the start of the Outbreak, according to the following news?. Unidentified crops are seen across the street from the Earthbound Farm/Natural Selection Foods plant in San Juan Bautista, Calif. on Friday, Sept. 15, 2006. The California natural foods company was linked Friday to a nationwide E. coli outbreak that has killed one person and sickened nearly 100 others. Supermarkets across the country pulled spinach from shelves, and consumers tossed out the leafy green. The crops pictured are not those in question. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez)
Today the FDA and health officials announced about a E.Coli (bacteria) outbreak through bagged SPINACH. One person died and 20 infected in Wisconsin, about ten states have reported cases according to news (By ANDREW BRIDGES, Associated Press Writer 32 minutes ago. WASHINGTON - Federal health officials worked Friday to find the source of a multistate E.coli outbreak and warned consumers that even washing the suspect spinach won't kill the sometimes-deadly bacteria). So, why do you want to take risk and eat when obvious spread of E.Coli is going on. Wait until another announcement comes, even then be careful about E.Coli, which is a bacteria normally lives in stomach including humans. However, there are several strains among this bacteria, some of them are dangerous and deadly. One of the official says it is tip of the icerberg of the outbreak, it is not clear. The FDA official announced not to eat spinach, even if you cook them it is not safe. It sounds to be a good advice, why take risk. Do not eat spinach from bags for sometime...............................)
