Arthur Adler was a Gambino crime family associate and brother of Sanford Adler. Sanford invested in Benjamin Siegel's The Flamingo casino. Later within 24 hours of Seigel's execution in Virginia Hill's Beverly Hills home at 810 North Linden Drive on June 20, 1947. Following the murder Joe Rosen, David Berman, Charlie Resnick were kidnapped by Joe Rosen divided up their shares of The Flamingo. This included Siegel's mistress Virginia Hill's pimp Joe Epstein and Meyer Lansky along with Gus Greenbaum and Moe Sedway. Arthur's brother Sanford took The Flamingo's gaming license and failed to make an adequate profit after the death of Seigel. In an angry fit he went to the Tax Commission in Carson City and physically hit mobster Morris Rosen, and within 24 hours disposed of his stock in the Flamingo and fled to California. Sanford's brother, Arthur Adler was murdered by Anthony Spilotro.

Sergeant Fox (properly known as "CT-0000/1010") was a clone trooper in the fictional Star Wars saga.
Military service
Before Sergeant Fox was stationed on Coruscant, he was a member of the 182nd Legion that was stationed on Felucia. Before the 182nd was wiped out by Acklays and CIS forces, Fox was transferred to the 501st Legion. When the 501st was stationed on Coruscant (and occasionally on its moon, Centax I), Fox led the various patrols which searched the underworld for terrorists; it was during these patrols that Fox learned of the Journeymen Protectors of Concord Dawn. Fox was attracted by the life of a Journeyman Protector (much like Boba Fett, who would become one after the Clone Wars) and planned to become one once the Clone Wars were over. Fox served with distinction in the 501st.

Phillip J. Torres is a contemporary philosopher of science and Distinguished Scholar at Harvard University. His primary research foci lie at the intersection of neuroscience, linguistics, and the philosophy of science. Recently, Torres published an influential paper entitled "The meaning of 'the meaning of meaning'" in which Torres criticizes Hilary Putnam's views of meaning externalism, favoring a more Chomskian approach.
Torres is also working on an model of scientific development over time, rejecting Thomas Kuhn's non-cumulative model for one in which science progresses through incremental or piecemeal steps, whereby the former "paradigm" serves as a partial foundation for the next "theory-cluster." Publications are forthcoming in the Philosophy of Science and the ISPS.
Biography
Torres was born in Frederick, Maryland, in 1982 to Alfred Alexander Torres, a biophysicist and son of Leonardo Torres y Quevedo. Torres was a precocious child and an excellent student, with a penchant for the sciences and philosophy. At age 13, Torres met W.V. Quine, under whose guiding tutelage Torres would study until Quine's untimely death in 2000. At that point, Torres had already matriculated at Harvard, working within both the neuroscience and philosophy departments. In 2001, Torres completed his dissertation entitled: "Component placement and Steiner tree optimization in C. elegans and other organisms." In it, Torres uses the work of Christopher Cherniak to argue that irrefragable evidence of micro-optimization in neuronal arbors and global optimization of nervous system components (e.g., neurons, ganglia, brains) challenge the established evolutionary biological view that natural selection satisfices, rather than optimizes. The explanation for the observed optimization that Torres gives involves a hypothetical mechanism by which such phenomena as cephalization result from the movement of nervous tissue during embryogenesis towards strong attractor states, and evince developmental canalization.
Torres is currently married to Whitney Trettien, a Truman scholar and research director in the Comparative Media Studies program at MIT. Because of their vociferous concerns about overpopulation and the initiation of Malthusian-like conditions leading to resource shortages in the future, they have publically announced that they will not now, nor never, procreate.
