The United States is often described as a punitive nation. Population growth alone cannot explain the phenomenal growth of its prison system. While the nation contains only 5 percent of the global population, its prisons now house 25 percent of the world's inmates. On February 15, 2000, the U.S. prison population reached 2 million, according to the Justice Policy Institute, doubling in only a decade. Currently, sixteen states have lower populations than the number of people incarcerated in the nation's correctional facilities.
Many crime experts favor these high rates of incarceration, arguing that America is the most violent of industrialized nations. For instance, the U.S. Department of Justice reports that the chance of being murdered in the United States is about six times higher than in England. Supporters insist that incarcerating more offenders for longer periods of time is the best way to maintain public safety. A study conducted by economist Steve Levitt found that an additional fifteen crimes each year occur every time an inmate is released from prison due to overcrowding.
However, critics of the prison system maintain that America's crime rate does not exceed those of similar nations; therefore its high imprisonment rates are not justified. For example, a survey conducted by the Dutch Ministry of Justice found that Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, and New Zealand had higher incidences of eleven types of crime than the United States, including robbery, burglary, and car theft. Critics attribute America's prison population boom not to an epidemic of crime, but to harsher sentencing laws and the nation's war on drugs, characterized by increased antidrug efforts and stiffer penalties for drug offenders. Marc Mauer, assistant director of the Sentencing Project, maintains that "in 1980, 6 percent of inmates were in for drug offenses. That's up to 21 percent in 2000."
Because of chronic prison overcrowding and the rapid expansion of the prison system, the nation's penal policies have been intensely scrutinized, especially those dealing with drug offenders. Near the end of his second term, former President Bill Clinton said, "We really need a re-examination of our entire policy on imprisonment. . . . There are tons of people in prison who are nonviolent offenders—who have drug related charges that are directly related to their own drug problems."
Many critics of the prison system contend that 1 million of these offenders languish behind bars, trapped by rigid mandatory sentences aimed at incapacitating the worst offenders. They also add that drug abuse runs rampant in prison, and most incarcerated drug addicts receive little or no treatment.
Various states are experimenting with alternative sanctions for drug offenders. In recent years, the number of drug courts, where judges stringently monitor drug offenders' probation, have spread across the country. In 1996, Arizona voters approved Proposition 200, an initiative that gives drug offenders the choice to enter substance abuse rehabilitation programs instead of prison. Many drug reform supporters are calling the proposition a success. A similar initiative, Proposition 36, was passed four years later in California.
Many experts applaud the shifting approach in the war on drugs and claim that alternative sanctions can offer potential solutions to the challenges posed by drug abuse and the overburdened prison system. For instance, proponents of alternative sanctions contend that sending drug offenders to treatment can alleviate taxpayers of the skyrocketing costs of corrections. Although residential treatment for a drug addict can cost up to $7,000 a year, the annual cost of incarceration starts at $25,000. Advocates also assert that diverting drug offenders from the prison system will enhance public safety in two ways. First, it will make more prison space available to incapacitate violent offenders and career criminals. Sec16 ond, because many drug addicts commit crimes such as theft and prostitution in order to pay for their drug habits, ending drug offenders' addictions can lower the crime rate. A State of Connecticut report claims that alternatives to incarceration are two to five times more effective than prison in lowering drug crimes.
However, detractors of initiatives such as Propositions 36 and 200 claim that incarceration is necessary to treat drug offenders. Criminal justice investigator David Cole suggests that the "introduction of judicial authority and criminal sanctions appears to make treatment more effective." Proposition 36 has even been criticized by former drug addicts and alcoholics. Actor Martin Sheen, who successfully recovered from alcoholism, says the initiative "takes away the leverage that a judge has to get an addict's attention." Some experts maintain that Proposition 36 is too lenient and may actually keep more drug offenders on the streets than in treatment. According to an analysis of Proposition 36 by the Rand Corporation, "Probation caseloads are very high. A person who quits a treatment program is unlikely to draw the same kind of attention as a violent offender who does not meet his or her conditions."
Some opponents argue that alternative sanctions such as drug treatment unfairly favor offenders belonging to the middle and upper classes. They claim that most drug offenders from the lower class are unable to afford drug treatment and end up in prison. According to Corey Pearson, a former volunteer with the Prisoners' Rights Union, "The programs which work are usually reserved for populations which have the means to avoid falling into the criminal justice system abyss—generally the middle class."
Other critics maintain that drug treatment is plainly ineffective and should not be used as an alternative to incarceration. For example, former federal drug policy directors William J. Bennett and John P. Walters insist that "overall, cocaine treatment is only 4 percent effective in reducing heavy use and 2 percent more effective in reducing heavy use than no treatment at all." They also criticize drug courts and alternative sanctions for drug offenders, contending that "a very large number of addicted offenders today are long-term, hard-core addicts who are poorly suited for diversion programs."
Proponents of alternative sanctions contend that sentencing drug offenders to treatment instead of prison can more effectively supervise the ever-growing numbers of drug abusers caught in the net of the justice system. They insist that drug treatment is more beneficial than incarceration because it is more economical and promotes public safety by lowering recidivism rates and keeping dangerous criminals behind bars. Yet opponents argue that removing incarceration from the drug treatment equation eliminates a powerful incentive for drug offenders to change their ways. They also maintain that initiatives such as Proposition 36 will cast drug abusers out of supervision into the grip of addiction. America's Prisons: Opposing Viewpoints investigates this dilemma and other challenges facing America's prisons in the following chapters: Are Prisons Effective? How Should Prisons Treat Inmates? Should Prisons Use Inmate Labor? What Are the Alternatives to Prisons? These chapters explore the major arguments shaping the future of America's prison system.

There's nothing like fireworks to draw a crowd.
Even during Thanksgiving week.
What's not to love about fireworks?
Long-time HoliBlog readers will remember we posted a fireworks photo in 2005 just days before we announced that we would be adding a Thanksgiving-themed section and The Voyage roller coaster.
To me, this was a big ol' HoliHint. Looks sort of like an upside-down turkey, doesn't it?
When Eric, our special events director, notified the staff there would be a brief fireworks display being testing in the Raven Parking lot last week, he never dreamed how short the show would be.
Our fireworks vendor didn't waste any time starting - or ending - the demo. Communications manager Nathan had some fun saving the moment for posterity.

EDMONTON - A grassroots morning workout program started in Edmonton by new Oilers defenceman Andrew Ference to build community and get people moving drew a "flash mob" of 160 people to the legislature grounds Monday.
It was still dark at 5:30 a.m. when people in workout clothes, carrying water bottles, started trickling in from all sides to gather in front of the government building where Ference stood waiting on the steps to start the 6 a.m. workout session.
The former Boston Bruin started running the 40-minute sessions three times a week — Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays — shortly after signing a four-year deal with the Oilers in July. It's a new chapter of what's known as the November Project, started in Boston two years ago by a pair of competitive university rowers who wanted to stay in shape after the rowing season. They made a promise to each other to keep exercising three times per week, all year, regardless of the weather.
Using Twitter, Facebook and a blog, Brogan Graham and Bojan Mandaric put out a free, open invitation for the public to join them and were gradually joined by hundreds of people — including Ference, who brought the idea with him to Edmonton. It's grown to be the second largest chapter, he told the crowd Monday.
The 34-year-old hockey player, originally from Sherwood Park, has been on hand most mornings and was joined Monday by new Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins. Oilers centre Sam Gagner and Olympic pairs figure skating champ David Pelletier were also there.
With the Oilers training camp starting Wednesday, Ference expects to miss a lot of the workouts until the end of the hockey season, but he's confident many members of the Edmonton "tribe" will continue to come out and exercise under the leadership of Nadim Chin, 29, one of three people who joined Ference for the first early morning session in July.
"This is like our community, this is something special," Ference explained after the workout. "There are people meeting each other, people getting active, people doing things together afterwards, and it really turned into this family. We call it a tribe, and it is.
"People keep coming back because they're part of something. Especially now with Facebook and Twitter, it's easy to have "friends," but real face-to-face contact, like meeting actual people, it's hard to do. So I think this is one of those things people really respond to because it's that primal feeling of being part of something, and doing something real."
He expects numbers will dip as the season changes, "but I think you'll also tap into that hardcore mentality where for some people it's going to be a badge of honour to show up when it's dark and cold and snowy," Ference said.
People of various fitness levels ran laps around the reflecting pool and did sets of double-leg jumps on the stairs. Other exercises included planks and pushups.
Thirteen-year-old Matthew Pshyk has been coming out to every session with his mom Holly.
They've made new friends, like Shannon Rector who drives in from Ardrossan.
Gagner came out to see what Ference had been telling him about. He was surprised to see the turnout.
"You see this social media movement and people coming out to join it, it's a great thing, I think, when you can get everyone in the community to get out and get active. It's makes it a little easier when you have friends pushing you," Gagner said after the workout.
"It was a fun day this morning and good to do heading into camp.
"It's obviously tough getting up this early, but once you're here, and you see everyone pushing each other to get better and to enjoy just being out and being active, it was a great morning for sure."
Monday workouts move around various parts of the city. The location is sent out the Friday before on @nov_projectcan. Wednesday's sessions are held at the stairs by the Royal Glenora Club and Fridays workouts are at Emily Murphy Park.

Brian Beaney FRPS has found that digital imaging has allowed him to use his graphic and art skills to take his photography beyond the moment of capture.
His images are digitally painted with light, mood and atmosphere that he hopes epitomizes the peace and tranquillity of the scenes and landscapes and hopefully brings back some of the "buss" he experienced when taking the shot.
Most of his pictures have been taken around the Suffolk coast.
Henrietta Byrne LRPS DPAGB has been a serious photographer for the last 15 years. A member of two Northern Counties clubs she specialises in landscape using slide film until 2009 when she progressed to digital.
Henrietta is Chairman of the North Yorkshire and South Durham Photographic Association, a member of Northern Counties Executive and a lecturer and judge for NCPF.
She has been a finalist in the BBC's Country file annual competition
with her picture published in the calendar, has had an article published in Outdoor Photography and a book published on Richmondshire.
Colin Southgate FRPS has been involved in photography since about 1986. He still has a fondness for monochrome despite switching to digital imaging about eight years ago. A late passion for darkroom lith printing has influenced his digital direction considerably.
Other influences are Irene Froy, Leigh Preston and Vic Attfield for their fine monochrome work, Roy Elwood for sheer craftsmanship and Dr Tim Rudman for his inspirational work in lith printing.

As the MF Global debacle has dragged on, one thing that has become apparent is that the two trustees are on a collision course as they battle for what's left of the bankrupt firm.
Customer advocates have grown frustrated with both the perceived timidity of MF Global Inc. (MFGI) trustee James Giddens in advocating on their behalf and the boldness of the parent company MF Global Holdings (MFGH) trustee Louis Freeh for continuing to argue that customers have no standing in the affairs of MFGH while at the same time inserting himself into the MFGI liquidation. Meanwhile, the two trustees have begun to square off.
In an April filing, MFGH and the Chapter 11 creditors' committee claimed that the MFGI trustee had withheld information from them. While this may seem like the pot calling the kettle black in that Freeh had spent months refusing to release information based on client-attorney privilege, it engendered a rather curt response from Giddens, who noted in a reply that the MFGH filing included "incorrect statements."
Days later, the MFGI trustee provided an update on the investigation, stating that it may pursue civil charges against MFGH. "Based on [the] investigation of conduct, allocation of responsibilities and reporting with respect to the segregated customer accounts, the trustee believes that there are claims he may assert against certain responsible individuals at MFGI and Holdings (and Holdings itself) for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duties owed to both MFGI and its customers, and violations of the segregation requirements of the Commodity Exchange Act."
It went on to state that the trustee was committed to working cooperatively with customers to return customer property.
In elaborating on the statement, MFGI trustee spokesman Kent Jarrell said they are exploring working together with various plaintiffs' attorneys who have filed lawsuits against officers and directors of MFGH. "Because we are statutorily required to take all means necessary to return funds to former customers, we want to see if there is a more efficient way to do it instead of having separate litigations. It is all about efficiencies. How do you get the most money back to customers?" Jarrell says. "We know where the money is; it is just a matter of can we get it back under our control for the return to customers," he adds.
The trustee may have been emboldened by a memo sent from the Commodity Customer Coalition to the Department of Justice, U.S. Attorneys for the New York and Chicago districts and representatives of all the pertinent congressional committees, stating it believes there is sufficient evidence of an intent to commit fraud by various MF Global employees to support criminal charges.
It included documents that showed MF Global had changed procedures in its final days by sending out checks through the mail to customers instead of wiring money to them, while simultaneously wiring funds to creditors. The memo stated, "MF Global artificially reduced the amount of assets they were required to keep in segregation on paper while not reducing the amount of assets in the customer segregated bank account."
Insurance claims
Meantime, Judge Martin Glenn lifted the automatic stay on two groups of insurance policies, allowing for proceeds of the policies to pay for defense costs of former directors, officers and employees of MFGH.
The judge placed a "soft cap" of $30 million on the policies; one a directors and officer policy totaling $225 million and the other an errors and omissions policy totaling $150 million. One policy was from MFG Assurance, a subsidiary of MFGH, which attorneys for the Sapere CTA Fund asserted should have been claimed by the MFGI estate because it covered claims arising from wrongful acts of the insured. Sapere argued that because segregated funds were violated and more than 25,000 claims were made as part of the MFGI liquidation, the proceeds of that policy should go to the MFGI estate.
John Witmeyer, attorney for Sapere, says, "The only relevant facts are undisputed. On Oct. 31 segregated funds were missing and it doesn't matter if people think they know where [they] went. They are just not there; that breached the Commodity Exchange Act."
The judge ruled against Sapere, but left open the question of whether customers have a claim on insurance proceeds.
The problem is that the policies are what is referred to as "wasting policies," meaning once money is allocated it is gone. More troubling for Witmeyer is that the day after the ruling, he learned of a third MF Global policy obtained through an insurance syndicate totaling $250 million. The MFGH trustee, and perhaps the MFGI trustee, allegedly knew this policy existed and did not share that information with the bankruptcy court. In a letter to Giddens, Witmeyer says, the situation is troubling because neither trustees for MFGI nor MFGH "apprised the bankruptcy court of this additional D&O insurance. The importance of the nondisclosure of this information has been heightened by [the] decision that directs that making of inter-insurance allocations; proper allocations under insurance coverage law require taking into account the entire coverage block."
The third policy includes $100 million of "Side A-only" coverage that would cover defense costs only for former directors, officers and employees and none of the entities that may have liability. So there is a $100 million policy that can be used only for defense costs of officers of MFGH that was not considered by the judge, while other policies that possibly could be used to cover liability claims due to errors will be at least partially tapped to defend Corzine and other officers.

Safavieh Heritage HG345 Rust Rug
Item #: 101HG345A-P Add to Wishlist
$30 - $629 + FREE SHIPPINGDescription: With rich, luscious detailing and a vibrant feel, Safavieh's Heritage collection brings life to any space. Hand-tufted of pure wool with strong cotton backing, these traditionally beautiful rugs can withstand even the most highly traveled areas of your home.
- Collection: Heritage
- Brand: Safavieh
- Material: 100% Wool
- Weave: Hand Tufted
- Styles: Traditional Rugs
- Origin: India
- Available in the following sizes: 2' x 3', 2' 3" x 4', 3' x 5', 2' 3" x 8', 4' x 6', 5' x 8', 6' x 9', 7' 6" x 9' 6", 8' 3" x 11', 9' 6" x 13' 6", 6' Round and 6' Square
- Clean & Care: Vacuum regularly as new wool rugs can shed yarn fibers for up to three months. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
The 6'x6' square rug arrived and the colors look nothing as depicted in the photo (and I had looked at it online through 4 different computer monitors). The gold parts in the photo are a drab brown/gray color in real life and the rust parts are more maroon-ish. On the flip side, it's a soft, thick rug and the construction appears to be decent. I would just recommend trying to see it in person before ordering it online or you might be disappointed by the color discrepancy.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Safavieh's award-winning original collections range from the finest antique reproductions to the most fashion forward, contemporary rugs. Safavieh offers a wide variety of transitional area and accent rugs of both Oriental and contemporary designs. Safavieh also produces a variety of rug designs from American Country styles and 19th and early 20th Century European Art.

I neglected to mention yesterday that Mark McElhatten did a great job of hosting the marathon of first day screenings. Today one less screening but 6-7 times more artists/filmmakers for Marc and Gavin Smith to wrangle.
SHU (Blue Hour Lullaby) Philipp Lachenmann, Germany, 2008, 12m.
The most eerie falling of night I have seen since 9/11. SHU's slow aerial invasion of lights from air traffic made visible by the creeping of darkness. Or maybe an alien encounter? Lachenmann's near perfect. One of the few pieces that needed no program notes.
Photofinish Figures (Il finish delle figure) Paolo Gioli, Italy, 2009, 9.12m.
Paolo Gioli's use of photographic stills and overlays in Photofinish Figures is an interesting counter point the the Ken Burns effect or even Chris Marker's use of stills in La Jette. In this piece I felt some of the impact of the approach wears off after a few minutes or when portraits are not the main subject of the photos. I'd like to see this again again on DVD to break it down a bit more.
A Thousand Julys Lewis Klahr, USA, 2010, 6.30m.
A Thousand Julys is the first of three works to be shown here in 2010 by Lewis Klahr. Klahr is one of the artists I was looking forward to seeing here and I got a chance to talk briefly to him. This work is more poetic, less narrative than the limited number of pieces I have seen before. It works well on the big screen.
Destination Finale Philip Widmann, Germany, 2008, 9m.
Thrift shop movie is clever in an Antiques Roadshow kind of way. It may have been more interesting to note France's colonial influence on Vietnam and Indo-China rather than the when the 1st US Marines were deployed. They were flying Air France !!!!
Valleys of Fear Erin Espelie, USA, 2010, 22m.
Valleys of Fear was too dense for me to follow. Parts of it were beautiful visually. Another piece I'd rather watch more closely on DVD.
The Soul of Things Dominic Angerame, USA, 2010, 15m.
I couldn't hear well enough from where I was sitting but I thought Dominic Angerame said he didn't have time to compete the soundtrack for The Soul of Things and therefore it was silent. Would like to revisit this one, maybe even on a smaller more intimate screen.
Marie Karen Yasinsky, USA, 2010, 6m.
Skip to the part where a pack wolves tear another wolf apart.
Dissonant Manon de Boer, Netherlands/Belgium, 2010, 11m.
A film about changing the film cartridge while sound still records.
Ape of Nature Peggy Ahwesh, USA, 2010, 24m
I had seen parts a few of Ms. Ahwesh's works on the web and was looking forward to this. Perhaps the two channel effect in a gallery setting would enhance this piece. I found it difficult to watch head on. In a gallery you could forgive the performances/acting and look at something else.

General Community > Chit Chat
PMs for Support
Arantor Beeblebrox the First:
Yes, this is one of my famous little rants.
I want to explain why I don't want PMs for support. Even though I've put in my signature that you shouldn't PM me for support unless you're going to pay me for my time, I still get PMs. I know the SMF team has similar trouble with this, so I thought I'd take a little time to explain why this is inappropriate and rude and should be avoided unless specifically asked for.
We're volunteers. We do this in our spare time. Most of us do not have much spare time, and when we do, we offer it up to people who need help. We choose who we answer, who we have the knowledge to help, who we have the time to properly solve their problem.
And in public, everyone benefits. Future users who encounter the same problem will find the posts when they're public, so if you get helped in a public topic, it isn't just you that benefits, it's everyone in the same position as you.
Such generosity is rare, even in a volunteer community. Now, if you send us a PM, there's quite a few things different:
1. It stops being about whether we choose to use our time to help you. Bear in mind we're doing this in our spare time (or some of us, doing this instead of earning money, so think about that, you might actually be costing us money to help you), you're expecting us to put aside our choice for yours.
2. It only helps you. It's selfish, because the same advice may well help others but you're expecting us to help you and only you.
3. It's impatient, because it doesn't allow us to go away and think about the problem and respond when it is convenient for us (given that it is being done in our time), instead it's expecting an answer sooner rather than later, and it also doesn't allow other people who are knowledgeable to add their opinions and experience.
That's why I now say that if you want support, either post it publicly, or if you want me to do it privately, we agree on a price for you to pay at the end of it. If I choose to use my time to help everyone, that's my choice. But if you want me to put you above everyone else, give me a reason to do so, and that reason won't be 'because I want it'.
I don't know exactly how others feel, but given the number of people who post in their signatures about not sending them PMs for support, I'm fairly certain there are a lot of people who are very fed up with this. I'm posting this here to let you know why it's irritating, and as a request to generally stop it if at all possible.
Thanks for reading, and to those of who don't go out and PM people because you're impatient, we appreciate it. To those of you who provoked this article, please think very carefully before sending us PMs. It is not for nothing that there is that fairly big notice in the send-PM area.
I want to add for future readers, when people pm a topic link "can you please look at this" i ignore it more and more. Impatience is not a thing i can tolerate.
People needs to realize, from their side there is only 1 problem needs to be solved but from our side there are a lot of problems needs to be solved.
This should be in the scrolling news area! :)

FLIR HS-324 Command Thermal Imaging Camera (19mm lens, NTSC 7.5Hz video)
FLIR HS-324 Command Thermal Imaging Camera

FLIR HS-324 Key Features
19mm Lens
Equipped with its 19mm lens, it features a 24� field of view, allowing you to detect a man-sized object (1.5m x 0.5m) up to 480 yards (440 m) away. Using the optional 2x Extender lens you can acheive a 12� FOV
Rugged Design
All-weather design is built to withstand the demands of day-in, day-out law enforcement operations. It's even submersible.
Capture Still Images & Record Video
Save images & video to an SD Memory card (1 - 4GB cards)
Shuttered Eyepiece

H-Series for Law Enforcement & Military Officers
H-Series Cameras Allow Law Enforcement and Military Officers... See suspects in total darkness.

See better through camouflage and foliage in any lighting conditions.
Because H-Series Cameras see heat, not light, they're not fooled by suspects wearing dark clothes and hiding in bushes. Crooks can't hide their heat, so they can't hide from the H-Series. See more � and see farther � than with other night vision technologies. Because H-Series Thermal Cameras see clearly without any light whatsoever, they can see farther at night than technologies that need ambient light to work and they can see heat sources that these other cameras could never find.

Fair Trade Honey

Product Actions
http://www.lushusa.com/Fair-Trade-Honey/9999903777,en_US,pd.htmlMore from Shampoos:
Lather up for shiny, lustrous locks
Over half of this shampoo consists of Fair Trade honey, which is beautifully moisturizing and gives hair shine and luster. All that honey has allowed us to make this one preservative-free, too! While 50% is honey, 20% is linseed mucilage, which has a lovely texture and is moisturizing and conditioning. Fair Trade Honey is suitable for almost everyone, but with all these moisturizing ingredients, it is specifically lovely on hair in need of moisture.
- Hard water? No problem! This shampoo softens and cleanses in a perfect balance for hard water areas, where calcium build-up can be harsh on your hair.
- Preservative-free! All that honey allows us to make this one preservative free. What an excellent invention! Use it fresh!
- Fairly Traded Honey:We're working with a supplier in Zambia at the moment, but we'll need so much honey that we may also buy from other Fair Trade suppliers around the world, too.
Customer Review
"I use fair trade honey every other day in combo with american cream, and my hair smells AMAZING all the time. It's actually very gentle, too. I started using it when I began dying my hair with henna and couldn't find a sulfate-free shampoo that didn't turn my hair into

It would probably make for better game play to anticipate future choices, debate and vote on them early.
Examining laboratory status shows Centauri Ecology will be discovered next turn, which raises the following decisions:
(1) Should we build the Weather Paradigm?
(2) What is the next tech?
(3) For BRMC & HQ, should production be switched to formers?
East former will have to move. If expansion site is 1 sq. W or 1 sq. SW of it, then it will move there. If expansion site is 2 sq. SW of it, then it will move 1 sq. S, build road and then move to expansion site.
(4) So where is first expansion site?
If we could make multi-tech decision, e.g. D:F beeline or IA beeline, then we wouldn't have to decide tech every time choice came up.
Until we meet another faction, we could probably discuss and vote on issues several years in advance. If these decisions are executed by faction leader or turn player, then we can speed up early years, while letting everyone have his say.

Conventional farming
Conventional farming practices must be revamped. Farmers should be incentivized to turn organic or at least transitional. There can be no talk of healthcare or environment without addressing our food supply & how it affects our air, soil & water. Businesses should be incentivized also to go "green." Consumers should be incentivized also to go green by businesses, Whole Foods and small co-ops are already leading by example here. There should be a massive publicity campaign nationwide to promote recycling, green living, etc. so everyone from worker bee to CEO, thinks before acting. Plastic bags should be banned.

Cortellis Clinical Trials Intelligence enables users to accelerate clinical trial development decisions and portfolio strategy
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Intellectual Property & Science business of Thomson Reuters, the world's leading provider of intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today announced the addition of Clinical Trials Intelligence to the Thomson Reuters CortellisTM suite, the industry's most comprehensive information solution for drug discovery and development.
The Thomson Reuters Life Sciences team has invested significantly in Cortellis, creating a unique platform for drug researchers and developers to assess and integrate content from multiple sources, so they can confidently make time-sensitive, drug-related decisions. Clinical trial information is now part of the Cortellis content collection.
"Clinical research has changed dramatically during the last decade," said John Brett-Harris, managing director of Thomson Reuters Life Sciences. "Clinical trials are now driven not only by traditional clinical characteristics of disease, but by molecular profiling, signaling pathways, and gene sequencing, to name a few of the major advances. Cortellis Clinical Trials Intelligence supports this transformation and allows customers to connect clinical trials to our other content programmatically – the way they want. Thomson Reuters is the only company to provide such a solution in the marketplace."
Cortellis Clinical Trials Intelligence enables users to access and search information on more than 140,000 U.S. and global trials for biologics, diagnostics, biomarkers, medical devices and drugs targeting rare diseases. The solution also includes access to 200,000 press releases, 220,000 fully abstracted literature articles, 2.25 million articles related to clinical development supporting unparalleled outcome searching, 21,000 meeting abstracts, 8,000 conference reports, and transcripts of biomedical and medicinal chemistry industry analyst and investor meetings. It offers full integration with Thomson Reuters industry-leading drug pipeline and patent content and is available via the web portal or an application programming interface (API).
"Rather than providing another stand-alone clinical trials information tool, Thomson Reuters has provided deeper scientific and competitive insight by connecting that data with our content such as drug pipeline, patents, and biomarkers. Further, we provide analytics to help our users make sense of an increasingly complex landscape," said Brett-Harris. "We are enabling clinical development professionals to gain a better understanding of the clinical environment, including what is working and potential pitfalls, so they can ultimately construct better trials."
Cortellis Clinical Trials Intelligence provides dynamic visualizations that support fact-based decision making and enhance competitive positioning. It includes a trial timeline viewer that provides an up-to-date view of trial start dates, insights on trial duration trends and expected, actual or projected end dates for a given indication, company or drug. Cortellis Clinical Trials Intelligence also supports precision medicine strategies through the discovery of competitor activity for specific patient segments, biomarker utilization and novel insights into disease processes.
The new solution is designed to accelerate clinical trial development, improve outcomes, decrease time to market and maximize portfolio strategies for professionals in all areas of biopharm companies including clinical development and operations, R&D, marketing, business development plus vendors supporting clinical trial planning and execution.
"Cortellis Clinical Trials Intelligence is the most powerful resource of its kind. It enables industry professionals to make informed decisions that direct their clinical strategies and greatly reduce the time spent compiling and analyzing clinical information. This is a game changing solution for drug development," said Wendy Hamilton, senior vice president, Thomson Reuters Life Sciences.
