Last updated in October 2016
Political relations
The Federal Republic of Germany established diplomatic relations with Zimbabwe immediately after the country gained independence in 1980. Since then, Zimbabwe has been rule by Robert Mugabe. During the first 15 years of Mugabe's rule, Germany became a highly regarded economic partner of Zimbabwe and a supporter of the country's reconstruction. This changed with the illegal farm occupations in the late 1990s, the human rights violations, the politically motivated violence during the 2002 presidential election and the increasing disregard for law and order. In 2002, the European Union imposed targeted restrictive measures against those bearing the main responsibility in government and the ruling party (the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front), such as the refusal to grant visas and the freezing of foreign accounts as well as an arms embargo. Economic sanctions were not, however, imposed on the country as a whole. These EU sanctions have been repeatedly extended since 2004. In February 2014, all the measures were suspended, except for the arms embargo, the travel ban against President Mugabe and his wife Grace and the sanctions on the company Zimbabwe Defence Industries. However, both ZANU-PF and President Mugabe himself continue to blame the sanctions for the country's economic decline over the past 20 years.
Conversely, the Zimbabwean opposition sees Germany as a preferred partner in its plans for the political and economic reconstruction of the country. The formation of a coalition government under Prime Minister Tsvangirai in February 2009 led to an intensification of contacts. Since the 31 July 2013 elections and the formation of a ZANU-PF government with a two-thirds majority in parliament, the government has also shown interest in resuming talks and improving bilateral relations.
With the visits to Zimbabwe by the Federal Government Commissioner for Human Rights Policy and Humanitarian Aid in November 2014 and the Federal Foreign Office Regional Director for Sub-Saharan Africa and the Sahel in March 2015, Germany has underscored its fundamental willingness to engage in political dialogue.
Germany supports a free, pluralistic democracy in Zimbabwe based on the constitution approved by an overwhelming majority of Zimbabweans in 2013. Since the beginning of the 2015 drought, the Federal Government has supported numerous measures by multilateral institutions, NGOs and civil society to combat famine and promote projects to grow food. This benefits Zimbabwe's poor rural population in particular.
Economic relations
Zimbabwe is in the midst of an economic and social crisis, largely due to misguided government policy. Following a massive slump between 1998 and 2008, the country's economic situation briefly stabilized, thanks largely to the revival of the country's mining sector (gold, platinum and diamonds). Since 2013, however, the country has again been in a dangerous downward spiral. For this year, Zimbabwe's government expects only modest growth of 1.2 per cent. Foreign investors are deterred by the lack of legal certainty, the failure to protect property rights and continuing pursuance of the policy of "indigenising" Zimbabwe's economy and the non-transparent implementation of this policy.
Despite this difficult climate, Germany remains a major trading partner of Zimbabwe's, although the economic and social crisis has meant that bilateral trade lags way behind its potential and investment has practically come to a standstill.
In 2015, Zimbabwe exported to Germany goods worth EUR 40.78 million and imported from Germany goods worth EUR 45.1 million. German investors are engaged in the following sectors: mining, logistics, agriculture, tourism and textiles.
A bilateral investment protection agreement entered force on 14 April 2000. Its implementation remains difficult, especially in the agricultural sector, in the face of political intervention by Zimbabwean government agencies.
The German-Zimbabwean Air Transport Agreement has been in force since 1999. However, a year later Lufthansa ceased operating flights to Harare, instead providing flight connections to Germany via Johannesburg through cooperation and code sharing with South African Airways.
A double taxation accord is in place between Germany and Zimbabwe.
Development cooperation and humanitarian aid
Owing to political developments in Zimbabwe (human rights violations, undermining of the rule of law, lack of a pro-development economic policy and farm occupations and expropriations), no further commitments have been made in development cooperation since 2000. Official German bilateral development cooperation with Zimbabwe was suspended at the end of June 2002. Since then, the only projects being supported are those implemented by civil society players with the help of a development fund. By providing humanitarian aid and emergency and transitional relief (food, medicine, etc.) to Zimbabwe's population, the Federal Government sought, at the height of the general crisis, to alleviate the distress caused by misguided policies. While Zimbabwe's Government of National Unity was in power in 2009, German development cooperation supported humanitarian measures as part of transitional aid coordinated with the international donor community, as well as measures designed to strengthen democracy and the rule of law. Following the controversial July 2013 elections, funding was reduced once again. At present, the only measures being supported are those designed to directly improve people's living conditions and to promote democracy and the rule of law at local level. Despite the above-mentioned restrictionss, Germany remains one of Zimbabwe's principal donors. The United Kingdom and Germany are, via the KfW Development Bank, the biggest contributors to the Zimbabwe Multi-Donor Trust Fund (ZimFund), which is managed by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and provides urgently needed reconstruction assistance in the water and energy supply sectors. Germany also provides assistance in terms of food security and water supply. In 2015, Germany's official development assistance (ODA) to Zimbabwe amounted to EUR 26.82 million.
Cultural relations
A cultural agreement concluded between Germany and Zimbabwe in 1996 came into force in 1998. For decades, German cultural activities have focused on the education sector. Since 1980, more than 200 Zimbabweans have been awarded scholarships enabling them to study at German higher education institutions; some 500 Zimbabwean refugees had previously received such scholarships. Every year, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) continues to award a number of scholarships enabling Zimbabweans to pursue post-graduate studies in Germany, as well as so-called 'sur place' scholarships at the University of Zimbabwe in Harare. There is a German Section at the University of Zimbabwe's Department of Modern Languages, where more than 100 students are learning German. Their number has more than doubled in recent years.
The former German Democratic Republic (GDR) also made a significant contribution to the academic training of young Zimbabweans in the ten years that relations existed between the two countries (1980-1990).
Since white settlement of the country under Cecil Rhodes in the years after 1890, numerous members of German Catholic orders have been working in Zimbabwe's schools, making a lasting mark on the country's education system and gaining great respect.
Despite the poor overall political situation, Germany has continued to participate every year in the Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA), the Zimbabwe International Film Festival (ZIFF) and the Women's Film Festival, a fact which is greatly appreciated in Zimbabwe.
The Goethe Centre in Harare, along with the Zimbabwe-German Society, is actively engaged in well-regarded cultural work. The numerous events it organises, in particular concerts, are very well received. It also offers language courses.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Me and my wife where married before her divorce was finalized. I want a divorce now, but I was told I could just get in annulled because she commit bigamy. We have a child together and I am the one who takes care of him all the time. Would bigamy give me good leverage in a child custody case?
The court having jurisdiction to determine the custody of the child would likely consider other factors more important than the alleged bigamy of the child's mother.Ask a similar question
While the fact that your wife got married to you before her divorce was finalized might be considered in the child custody case, it probably will not get you the "leverage" it looks like you want. In fact, if you knew she was married and you married her anyway, that could backfire as a bad judgment call made by you as well.
Who gets custody of a child is mostly dependent on factors that affect parenting itself, not necessarily any historical bad act by one parent or the other. The courts are sophisticated enough to know that there are no "perfect" parents, and that everyone has done something they are not necessarily proud of. What they look at is who is the best person to take care of the child NOW. What are the child's needs and who is best suited to meet those. Just because a person made poor choices 5 years ago doesn't mean they are a bad parent today.
Most often, particularly when there are no serious issues about parenting, drug use, alcohol use, etc., the court will presume it is in every child's best interest to spend quality time with BOTH parents. Kids need both their mom and their dad, especially when mom and dad are healthy and a good caretaker/role-model.
I hope that helps you. Good luck, and take care of yourself and your kiddo.Ask a similar question
As your wife was still married at the time of your wedding ceremony, then your marriage was 'void' as a matter of law, then you could indeed obtain an annulment. However, If, after you learned that your wife was not yet divorced and you nonetheless continued to live with her as man and wife until after such time as her prior divorce became final, then, under Texas law, your marriage has 'automatically' become valid and you would not qualify for an annulment.
If your wife honestly (albeit mistakenly) believed that her prior marriage had been legally terminated, then it is very unlikely that her conduct in "marrying" you would carry any weight in a child custody case. However, if she did indeed know that her prior marriage had not been dissolved then it might be a slightly different matter. The crime of Bigamy is rarely prosecuted and I assume that the commission of any such crime likely predated the birth of the child in issue. Child custody cases do not generally turn on misconduct that did not threaten harm to the child or directly undermine that party's ability to properly parent.
However, the credibility of the parties and their witnesses is almost always a significant issue in the trial of any case, including child custody cases. If your wife did indeed know that her prior marriage had not been dissolved, then it is very likely that she lied on your marriage license application. This could constitute perjury as well as the falsifying of a public record. Many Judges take such conduct very seriously, believing that if she was willing to lie on an important government form, she is likely to lie under oath in Court as well.

Your marriage is NOT valid. I am not a licensed attorney in TX, however, rather than leverage which I think it will not give you, I think you should be concerned about moving on with your own life and the welfare of your child. Since the marriage is not valid, your paperwork and taxes should be filed accordingly. Depending on the age of the child she may try to get custody or visiting rights but this is another issue. The question here is whether you knew on marrying that your wife was already married. The other question is whether she was aware that the divorce was not finalized. In any case an annullment can be time consuming and difficult so you will want to consult an attorney.Ask a similar question
Custody of the child is based upon the best interest of the child. Bigamy does not relate to the child. So no it would not help in a custody case. You can follow Texas procedure to have the marriage annulled based upon her bigamy.Ask a similar question
From a Washington state attorney, I don't think that bigamy will get you nowhere in a support case. It's probably just a question of the parents' incomes.Ask a similar question
don't think that bigamy will get you nowhere is a double negative. The correct grammar would be anywhere!
Texas likes marriage. Even if your marriage was void when you entered it, most cases on this kind of situation find a way to confirm a valid marriage.
Generally, the Family Code in Texas favors joint custody. One of you will be Joint MANAGING Conservator, the other Joint POSSESSORY Conservator. The managing conservator will be the parent the child normally lives with, and the possessory conservator will be granted standard possession rights.
BIG factors in determining custody in Texas are 1) a history of family violence, and 2) any instance of child abuse. IF you could prove your wife defrauded you about the divorce, you might get some traction there, especially before a jury.
The fact that you are the primary parent in reality should get you a lot further than that bigamy deal, especially if you have people who know about your parenting of the child.
Regardless of your status as a married couple or just as unmarried parents of the child, the analysis would be pretty much the same.Ask a similar question

VW's Porsche push mirrors Anheuser-Busch InBev's June buyout of Grupo Modelo, in a push to tap beer consumption in Central America and the export of its brands like Corona to international markets. After the acquisition, Anheuser-Busch InBev will own Corona, Pacifico, Brahma, Presidente, Quilmes, and Modelo branded beers in Latin America, putting it in stiff regional competition with Heineken, which owns Dos Equis, Tecate and Sol beers. The combined company's beer making prowess draws in roughly $47 billion in annual revenue and has 150,000 employees spread across operations in 24 countries. "There is tremendous opportunity from combining two leading brand portfolios and further expanding Grupo Modelo's brands worldwide," said Carlos Brito, chief executive of Anheuser-Busch InBev, in a statement. As part of the acquisition, Grupo Modelo will sell a 50% stake in Crown Imports, a distribution joint venture with Constellation Brands ( STZ) for $1.85 billion. Constellation Brands will own the joint venture outright after the deal. Those proceeds, and $2.7 billion in net cash that Grupo Modelo generates annually will help AB InBev earn $15.5 billion a year in cash, according to JPMorgan calculations. On the heels of the deal, AB InBev shares rose nearly $78, pushing shares to new all-time highs. Year-to-date, the company's shares are up over 25%. Like with Porsche and VW's long-time takeover bout, AB InBev and Grupo Modelo haven't always seen eye-to-eye on their long-time partnership. AB InBev effectively gained a non- controlling 50% stake in Modelo when InBev bought Anheuser-Busch in 2008 for $52 billion, in the biggest-ever beer merger. At the time, Modelo tried to prevent Anheuser-Busch from selling its minority stake to InBev as part of the merger and even signaled it would look to buy back Anheuser- Busch's non-controlling stake in the Mexican beer brewer, which the Budweiser bought in the 1990s. The decision for long-time partners like Volkswagen and Porsche to hitch up in multi-billion dollar deals comes at an interesting time for corporate decision makers. According to Dealogic data, corporate mergers have stalled in 2012, with deal volumes in the first half of the year hitting the lowest point since 2010. In the second quarter, deal volumes fell to the lowest point since the third quarter of 2009, when the global economy was just emerging from the biggest slowdown since the Great Depression. In a survey of corporate executives, Ernst & Young recently noted that a 43% year-over-year fall in U.S. M&A volume in 2012 is likely founded on a new C-Suite focus on divestitures and returns of capital to shareholders as a lever of growth. That contrasts with the past decade when companies looked at deals as a key driver of growth. "
More executives are coming to realize that effective portfolio management and corresponding divestitures can be essential to growth," said Ernst & Young, citing the benefits of using sale proceeds to reinvest in a core business or expand into new products and regions. Even with widespread expectations of asset sales, its actually stake acquisitions such as VW and AB InBev's recent deals that appear to be driving 2012 M&A. The largest deal of 2012 - commodity trader Glencore's over $40 billion acquisition of mining giant Xstrate is merely the purchase of a remaining stake in the company. Similarly, in Yahoo!'s ( YHOO) $7.1 billion stake sale of Alibaba - the second largest U.S. asset divestiture -- the Chinese e-commece giant is trying to take control of its outstanding shares. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York

Twitter has updated its app for iOS and Android to integrate a new feature, which will track which other apps users are downloading to their smartphones or tablet.
The controversial update arrives under the guise of providing users with a more 'personalised' experience, with the social network claiming 'App Graph' will allow it to make better content suggestions to users.
For Twitter users that'll mean improved suggestions on 'who to follow,' as well as even more tweets and accounts users don't follow appearing in timelines.
The company also promises 'more relevant' promoted content appearing among all of that stuff users have actually chosen to see.
Twitter isn't making the App Graph feature mandatory and says it'll give people a 'prompt' when it switches it on for the user's account. Until app patrons see the prompt, the setting is turned off, Twitter says.
The feature can also be turned off in the settings portion of the iOS and Android app at any time, Twitter assures users.
The company is also looking to play down privacy fears by claiming: "We are only collecting the list of applications you have installed. We are not collecting any data within the applications."
The update is rolling out on iOS and Android today, so expect the prompt to begin appearing soon.
So, folks, Twitter is asking to spy on the apps you're downloading on your mobile device, so it can serve up more content you probably don't want to see. How many of you will be embracing App Graph?

Boris Johnson has bowed to pressure by cutting short his holiday as rioting escalates across the capital.
The London Mayor is following Home Secretary Theresa May by abandoning his break abroad.
The move comes despite Mr Johnson's aides previously insisting he could deal with the burgeoning crisis remotely as if "he was sitting in his office".
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has denied that the absence of senior figures is hampering the Government's response to the violence and stock market crash.
Mr Clegg returned to work this morning after a holiday, while David Cameron is away in Italy and Chancellor George Osborne is in the US.
There is no sign so far that the Prime Minister intends to come back to Britain early, despite criticism from Labour.
A spokesman for the Mayor said: "He is interrupting his family holiday to return to London. He will be back in London tomorrow lunchtime."

The North Face Men's Denali Hoodie
There is a strong reason why everyone has one of these jackets either hooded or the jacket. Perfect for mild winter days, transition from winter to spring, fall to winter, and rainy days. This is by far the best versatile jacket you could buy. Since I have both a hooded and non-hooded version, both reviews are the same. I first wanted a Denali ever since I was little, but my parents said it was too expensive for a silly fleece. Let me tell you, it's not a silly $99 or $200 fleece. I was able to… Full review
MontBell Men's Chameece Inner Jacket
A very nice lightweight fleece garment. I'm a big fan of lightweight fleece garments. They breathe well, are warm (even damp), dry quickly (can be wrung out if necessary), and are relatively inexpensive. When I'm on the move and need a mid-layer to warm up, it's extremely tough to beat a lightweight fleece—especially in damp conditions. The Montbell Chameece Jacket is one of the lightest fleece jackets I've found—8.6 oz in Men's Large. Full zip w/ one zipped upper chest pocket. You can save… Full review
Outdoor Research Men's Transition Hoody
The Outdoor Research Transition Hoody is a bare bones fleece that integrates perfectly into a 3+ season layer system. Highly recommended for hiking, snowshoeing, ski touring, fat biking, or around town. I tested the Outdoor Research (OR) Transition Hoody between Fall 2016 and Winter 2017 in the White Mountains region of New Hampshire. Temperatures ranged from the mid 50s to just below zero. The Transition Hoody was part of my layer system while hiking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, alpine touring,… Full review
Patagonia Men's Lightweight Synchilla Snap-T Pullover
An excellent fleece mid layer for all seasons. A classic look that works well over or under other layers to provide an extra layer of warmth. The Patagonia lightweight snap-t fleece sweater is an excellent choice for those looking to do expeditions, day trips, or even car camping in the front country. It is a versatile layer that can be used over light layers, or under heavier down vests and parkas comfortable. It fits a little baggy, which serves this purpose well. It also features a Y cut sleeve… Full review

I have used a North Face Denali for years but wanted something warm and windproof. Never did I expect to find something even better! Bought this newest R4 version in blue on Ebay for $120. Not only is this warm/windproof it holds up to 0 degrees when you properly layer it.

L.L.Bean Men's Trail Model Fleece Jacket
This is a review of the Hunter Orange version of the basic fleece jacket, which has held up very well for two years (and counting). Its bright orange color was specifically selected for hunting season safety, but the jacket itself has been a very good, solid addition to our outerwear collection. It is suitable for three-season use, or under a shell for winter use. (Note: Though I have been selected as an LL Bean gear tester, I have yet to receive any product to test, and this jacket was purchased… Full review

Light, warm, highly breathable, good fit—a good piece of gear! This jacket is, for me, a revolution in fleece technology. The small fleece panels makes the jacket breathe extremely well, and keeps you warm at the same time. The fit is a little long, and the high collar fits tight, so that no warmth is lost. The jacket has a weird feature though; the front full zip is not centered, but slightly to the right side of the torso. That means that it looks nice and eccentric when closed, but a little… Full review
Mountain Hardwear Men's Dual Fleece Jacket
Tailor fit, very warm with mind blowing softness. I bought this fleece jacket in size S and it fits perfectly! It is a tight fit, but not restricting, and there is still enough room for layering. The stretchy side panels really give you freedom of movement. The warmth of this jacket is superb. It has "monkey fur" fleece over the torso, sleeves, and pockets. The outer fleece is dense and relatively efficient against wind and light rain. The monkey fur is the softest thing I have ever touched. I just… Full review

Drugmaker Admitted Fraud, But Sales FlourishAug 16, 2004 | USA TODAY
What happens to drug companies that commit federal crimes? For the nation's No. 1 drug company, the answer is: some pain, more gain.
In mid-May, Pfizer's (PFE) Warner-Lambert division pleaded guilty to illegally marketing a drug called Neurontin to treat ailments for which it was not approved. Pfizer, which did not own Warner-Lambert when the government said the wrongdoing happened, paid a $430 million fine to settle charges that included defrauding Medicaid.
Pfizer's confession that the success of one of its top drugs was built partly on fraud may have been humbling, but it isn't hurting the bottom line. Neurontin sales last quarter rose 32% from a year ago, and 2004 sales should pass last year's $2.7 billion. With few exceptions, state Medicaid programs pay for Neurontin just as before and so do major insurers.
The tale of Neurontin shows how hard it is to stop the momentum of a blockbuster drug, absent evidence that it is unsafe, and to control health care costs.
"They (Warner-Lambert) made their money, and they got off cheap," says Larry Sasich, a doctor of pharmacy at the consumer-oriented Public Citizen Health Research Group based in Washington, D.C. Without prosecution of Warner-Lambert executives, he says, the $430 million fine is an inexpensive "cost of doing business." (Related story: Whistle-blower started scrutiny)
In addition to the fine, Pfizer agreed to tighter rules to ensure compliance with drug-marketing laws. It will also contribute millions of dollars to states to educate doctors about Neurontin.
Approved for two conditions
Warner-Lambert's offense was marketing Neurontin to doctors for purposes other than as a supplemental anti-seizure medication for epileptics. That was the only use approved by the Food and Drug Administration during Neurontin's early years, when prosecutors say Warner-Lambert's illegal marketing took place.
In 2002, the FDA said Neurontin also could be used for nerve pain related to shingles.
Doctors can prescribe FDA-approved drugs for other purposes, so-called off-label uses. But federal law forbids pharmaceutical companies to market drugs for treatments not FDA-approved.
The Justice Department says that's what Warner-Lambert did from shortly after introducing Neurontin in 1994 until 2000. Prosecutors alleged that Warner-Lambert lied to doctors about the drug's effectiveness, paid doctors to allow a sales representative to sit in on sessions with patients and paid doctors, some up to $250,000, to unethically talk up Neurontin to other doctors.
In fact, the list of ailments that Warner-Lambert claimed Neurontin alleviated was so long covering pain, headaches, bipolar disorder, attention deficit disorder, alcohol detoxification that some Warner-Lambert employees dubbed it the "snake oil" list, government documents say.
The strategy worked. In 2002, 94% of Neurontin's sales were for off-label uses, up from40% in 1995, the government estimates, citing company documents and independent market research. Wall Street firm Lehman Bros. estimates that 90% of Neurontin sales are currently off-label.
Doctors consider the drug relatively safe with few side effects. But prosecutors said Warner-Lambert's actions caused Medicaid to pay for prescriptions it should not have. They also said patients could have been harmed by taking a drug not proved safe and effective for their condition.
"The aggressive marketing campaign by Warner-Lambert resulted in real increased costs to the states, insurers and consumers," Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell said the day of the settlement. He noted a 30-day supply of Neurontin at a common dose costs $205.
Angry at the company
Steve Borcherding, 42, is a former Neurontin user. The father of three runs a home-repair business in Portland, Ore. He has bipolar disorder, an illness often called manic depression. People who have the disorder often cycle from euphoria to deep depression. Borcherding has hit psychotic states. If not on medication, he says, he might do things such as try to drive through a brick wall because he believes he'll pass through.
In 2001, his psychiatrist suggested he try Neurontin. He knew it wasn't FDA-approved for his illness. That didn't worry him, because many drugs for his condition are not FDA-approved.
He says he didn't know that two studies published in 2000 including one sponsored partly by Warner-Lambert had shown Neurontin was no more effective than a placebo for his disorder.
He says he began taking Neurontin along with another drug he'd been taking before. His wife, Karla Wolf, says Neurontin didn't seem to make a difference for her husband at first. She recalls his mania then increased, and he was hospitalized for five days.
Borcherding was then taken off Neurontin.
He isn't suing anyone. Since the government's settlement, the New York-based law firm of Finkelstein & Partners has filed at least five lawsuits alleging Neurontin caused suicides or attempted suicides. Borcherding says there's no way to prove that Neurontin caused his downward spiral. He'd had similar spirals before taking Neurontin and had been hospitalized while on other drugs.
He considers drug researchers "heroes" and trusts the doctor who prescribed Neurontin for him.
But he's angry at the company's promotion of the drug for his illness. "They had the data that this was not an effective drug, and they ignored that data," he says. "I really have faith in the scientific process and Western medicine and empirical evidence, and they hijacked that process. They betrayed it."
Pfizer says that the company will vigorously defend itself against all lawsuits and that it knows of no individual harmed by Neurontin. It also says that many drugs are used off-label, including cancer drugs, and that the government did not allege illegal conduct after Pfizer bought Warner-Lambert in 2000.
As part of the settlement, Warner-Lambert pleaded guilty to conduct before Aug. 21, 1996, only, even though prosecutors alleged illegal actions occurred later, too. The settlement made it possible for the company to continue to participate in federal health care programs such as Medicaid, despite an Aug. 21, 1996, health care fraud law that might have led to its exclusion. Pfizer would not make an executive available to be interviewed for this story.
Used by millions
Almost 12 million people have used Neurontin since 1994, Pfizer says. Sixty countries allow it to treat pain. Even though the U.S. has approved it for only two conditions, Neurontin's popularity has snowballed. For the past three years, it has been the third-biggest drug cost for Oregon's Medicaid program. That occurred despite a lack of strong scientific support for its off-label uses.
In 2003, the Journal of Managed Care Pharmacy published a literature review of Neurontin studies. The author, Alicia Mack, a doctor of pharmacy, concluded Neurontin was not the "optimal" treatment for the majority of off-label uses except nerve pain related to diabetes and for frequent migraines.
One rigorous study published in 2002 dubbed it an expensive anti-migraine option: $138 per migraine prevented.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Kanwit in Boston, one of the chief prosecutors on the Neurontin case, says his biggest hope is that the case changes drug industry marketing practices.
As far as affecting Neurontin's momentum, Kanwit acknowledges the case may have little impact. Among the reasons:
•Insurers have a hard time controlling drug prescriptions. Insurance companies and Medicaid programs can require doctors to get their approval before prescribing a specific drug. But it's rarely done with Neurontin, even though the allegations about fraudulent marketing became public in 2000.
Only four of 50 state Medicaid programs require preapproval of Neurontin prescriptions, USA TODAY found when it surveyed all of them after Pfizer's government settlement. Among major health insurers, only Aetna says it's considering preapproval.
Preapproval can hurt sales. Florida expects its July 1 decision to require preapproval for Neurontin will save more than $7 million in its $2.1 billion Medicaid drug program. Neurontin prescriptions in Maine's Medicaid program dropped 19% despite a 9% increase in eligible Medicaid clients after preapproval took hold in October. Massachusetts and Oregon also started requiring preapproval last year.
Other states and insurers are wary because restricting Neurontin's availability could hurt consumers who really need it. Preapproval rules are also costly and time consuming to administer. What's more, lower-cost generic competitors may become available in the USA as soon as next year. To require preapproval for Neurontin prescriptions now may cost more than it saves, says Robert Seidman, chief pharmacy officer for WellPoint Health Networks, parent of Blue Cross of California.
"We have to make sure the payoff is worth the hassle factor," agrees Nancy Nesser, pharmacy director of the Oklahoma Health Care Authority.
The authority decided it wasn't in 2002 after its own study suggested that fewer than 10% of its clients on Neurontin suffered from epilepsy or shingles, Neurontin's two FDA-approved uses. "You don't want to put a roadblock on an epilepsy drug," Nesser says.
Oklahoma's Neurontin costs surpassed $5 million in 2003, up from $4.2 million the year before.
•Medicaid laws fuel off-label prescribing. To ensure that Medicaid patients had good access to drugs, Congress in the early 1990s decreed Medicaid should pay for a drug for a use that is FDA-approved or supported by citations in one of three medical directories.
One directory, Drugdex Information System, owned by Canada's Thomson Corp., says Neurontin is effective or possibly effective in treating 46 ailments. Often, that judgment is based on case studies of a small number of patients or studies in which patients knew they were taking the drug, which can skew results. The FDA requires more rigorous testing for approval.
The other directories cite Neurontin for FDA-approved conditions and six pain conditions.
Nicotine withdrawal is one condition Drugdex says Neurontin is "possibly effective" in treating. That is based on the 2001 case of a 54-year-old man who had also been alcohol-dependent and who was being treated for depression. While on a daily dosage of 2,400 milligrams a day, costing about $8 to $12 a day based on today's online prices, he abstained from nicotine for 10 weeks. The study's author suggested further study.
Medicaid could refuse to pay for Neurontin for nicotine withdrawal, says Barbara Dean, head of Texas' Medicaid drug program. But it "would be taking its chances," she says, because drug companies can argue that Medicaid laws stipulate it pay.
Drugdex editor Michael Soares says Drugdex hasn't changed its criteria for what it includes in decades. Drugdex became one of the three directories in 1997. "I realize there's implications for (Medicaid) reimbursements," he says.
But Drugdex's No. 1 goal is to inform pharmacists and doctors about a drug's use and how it works, he says. The nicotine study was published in a reputable medical journal, and Drugdex's review board, which includes doctors, included it because "people might be talking about it." Drugdex notes support for Neurontin for nicotine withdrawal is poorly documented.
•Doctors want to help patients. They'll try drugs if they think they might work, even if the FDA hasn't sanctioned them for a particular treatment.
Jim Moorman, CEO of Taxpayers Against Fraud, spends his life working on ways to reduce fraud, thus taxes. He applauds the Justice Department's action against Pfizer.
Yet he also takes Neurontin because "it seems to work" in alleviating his restless-leg syndrome. Neurontin is not FDA-approved to treat RLS, in which legs inadvertently jerk. No drugs are, but there is some evidence that Neurontin can help RLS patients.
"Let's recognize this: There are off-label uses for Neurontin that are valid," Moorman says. "But (Warner's) marketing department didn't care if the uses were valid or not."
Thomas Turek, medical director of the Oregon Health Plan, also says a drug that may not work for many may work for an individual, even if it has only a placebo effect.
Should onus be on doctors?
Despite Pfizer's fraud settlement, psychiatrist Suzanne Vogel-Scibilia remains sold on Neurontin. She has 1,000 patients in her Pennsylvania practice. A board member for the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, she says the bipolar studies on Neurontin are not exhaustive enough.
She prescribes Neurontin, always with another drug, to ease anxiety and sleep disorders in mild bipolar cases. As a bipolar patient, she takes it, too. "As a doctor, I want the freedom to prescribe what I think works," she says.
She says doctors should check the validity of drug studies and decide prescriptions case by case.
But Jerome Avorn, author of an upcoming book, Powerful Medicines, says time-pressed doctors turn most often to drug representatives for drug information. Avorn, a doctor with Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital, also says doctors too often attempt to learn whether a drug works for a patient by trying it. "We ought to have a better system than that." He advocates more studies and easier access to data.
Even Oregon, with new preapproval rules, will continue to pay for Neurontin for existing bipolar users. "It doesn't fit with the science ... but people aren't machines, so we have to use some of the art (of medicine) as well as the science," Turek says.
Janet Marquez, 25, doesn't pay much mind to studies. She looks at her life. Several years ago, Marquez spent four months in a psychiatric hospital. Diagnosed as bipolar, she tried other drugs. They didn't work, she says. About four years ago, she started Neurontin. She's now in college, living on her own and volunteering at a local library.
When Oregon last year threatened not to pay for her Neurontin, her doctor wrote a letter for her.
Oregon still pays for Marquez's Neurontin. "If it doesn't work, then why do I feel better?" she says.

If, as Nietzsche suggests, eternal recurrence is all that we can expect from a god, then Star Wars is not just a science fiction film trilogy projected on a screen, but an illumination from the divine.

Jim Flaherty, Canada's Finance Minister:
We were all worried at that time because, as people were saying around the table, 'There's too much cash sloshing around the world.' And [we wondered] 'Where is the problem going to come from?' We all left, went home. It was on a Sunday afternoon [that U.S. Treasury Secretary] Hank Paulson called me at home and said 'Well, good news and bad news. The bad news is there's a huge credit crisis. The good news is we know what the problem is.'
Leech: That fall, I remember sitting on an airplane with Claude [Lamoureux, then the head of Ontario Teachers]. We were flying to Montreal to … explain the BCE transaction to the government of Quebec, and the Quebec institutions. And I can remember Claude having somebody's newsletter … who was going through the math on [subprime collateralization, a complex way of packaging loans to make them look more attractive to investors], and how you could turn a low credit into high credit through these tranches and how it didn't make any sense. It was sort of the very first time that I had seen anyone actually write something … that said this doesn't look right, this doesn't smell right. How you can turn subprime mortgages into triple-A credits?
Don Lindsay, Teck Resources Ltd., former investment banker at CIBC World Markets:
There's much debate as to when people should have known that a collapse was coming. Everyone from Alan Greenspan on down didn't see it, right? But there were clues, for sure, that if read correctly would have given an indication that the financial system was at risk.
As problems emerge, many of Canada's top financial executives are consumed with putting out the ABCP fire. The institutions most affected by the crisis include National Bank of Canada, the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and Canaccord Financial.
Louis Vachon, National Bank of Canada:
It was almost 24 hours a day for a period of time … the challenge I had, particularly with ABCP, is you have to manage a crisis, but it cannot become an obsession. My job was to run the bank.
Dodge: The Ontario Securities Commission, quite frankly, I don't have very good words for them through this. Because they kept saying, 'No, no, the problem is that some of this [ABCP] was sold to unqualified investors'… rather than [being concerned] about the structure of the instruments and what was actually there and the financial stability side of it.
Lindsay: I do recall quite clearly that I was glad not to be in the banking business.
By December, it becomes clear that ABCP won't be the only crisis Canada endures. After already writing off $753-million from its exposure to U.S. subprime mortgages, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce admits that another $2-billion could vanish – a number that will grow. In January, 2008, the bank sells nearly $3-billion in new shares to a group of investors that includes Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing.
Although other banks get caught in the same mess – Citigroup writes off $18.1-billion (U.S.), Bank of Montreal writes off $490-million (Canadian) – the problems appear contained. That is, until March, 2008, when Bear Stearns, the venerable Wall Street investment bank, flirts with bankruptcy after suffering heavy losses on mortgage securities.
Cohen: I'm walking through Reagan National Airport in Washington. I remember this: The Delta [flight] had been cancelled, so I'm walking over to USAir and I get a call from two of the directors at Bear asking if we can represent them. … That leads into the frantic search for a buyer for Bear because it's becoming clear that the market won't fund them.
Dean Connor, Sun Life Financial Inc.
It happened so quickly … One day it was a firm doing fine and they were saying everything was fine, and not too long after …
To save the ailing bank, JPMorgan Chase buys Bear for just $2 a share on March 17, 2008, down from $170 a year earlier. To facilitate the deal, the U.S. Federal Reserve promises to provide up to $30-billion to backstop Bear Stearns' riskiest assets.
Dodge: Bear got saved, and that kind of sent a signal to the rest of the world that the U.S. government was willing to step in on these things. The rest of the world kind of relaxed for a period of time, I would say, really taking that as a signal that banks really were too big to fail.Report Typo/Error

Good Clean Fund Looks To Help Nonprofits Raise Funding, Support
Are you involved with a nonprofit or social enterprise, wishing you had better tools to raise funding for your important causes, but not able to shell out the thousands of dollars necessary to purchase those tools from software vendors? A new service, Good Clean Fund--powered by local startup Invested.in--is looking to change that, by offering up a free tool for helping nonprofit fundraise via crowdfunding.
Invested.in said the new service--which is free to nonprofits--lets users create drag-and-drop fundraising campaigns, which incorporate crowdfunding features such as rewards, social sharing tools, and more. In a shift from current crowdfunding sites, the new service does not charge a portion of funds raised--other sites usually charge 4-9 percent in commission--and the service is instead planning on offering up future, premium features to help with fundraising efforts. The service also lets nonprofits create custom branded pages, add their own text, images, buttons, and other features, and handles both long term projects as well as short term, crowdfunding projects.

Bangalore, Sep 10: Will Sachin Tendulkar feature in 2012-13 domestic season opener Irani Cup this month? That is the question doing the rounds now as the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) selectors meet today (September 10) to pick the Rest of India (ROI) squad.
Irani Cup, India's domestic season curtain raiser will be played between ROI and Ranji Trophy champions. Rajasthan, the current holders of Ranji Trophy will face ROI from September 21 to 25 at a venue still undecided. Jaipur was picked as the city earlier but had to be moved out due to Sawai Mansingh Stadium not ready due to rains.
With concerns over Tendulkar's recent form, where he was bowled thrice in three innings against New Zealand, many feel he should get enough match practice by playing this tie.
But unless Tendulkar makes himself available, it is unlikely that the senior selection committee will include him in the squad which is in all likelihood made of youngsters.
It is is said that Cheteshwar Pujara will lead the ROI side. But the biggest question now is whether Tendulkar is in that squad or not.
Usually, Irani Cup has been devoid of star players. Even now, the Indian squad will be in Sri Lanka for the ICC World Twenty20 2012 which starts on September 18. On the same day, India 'A' tour begins in New Zealand.
So most of the players are either in India Twenty20 team or India 'A'. S Badrinath and Ajinkya Rahane are available as they are not par of these squads.
It is also said that the selectors would reward India Under-19 World Cup winning players with ROI berths.
Within the next few hours we will know whether Tendulkar opts for ROI squad or prefers himself to stay away from competitive cricket for some more days.
Tendulkar's next tournament would be the Champions League Twenty20 in South Africa where he will play for Mumbai Indians in October.

I'm not sure if they are intending on doing a reboot of the classic Dig-Dug video game series but if they are planning to do so they should probably contact speedball0o over at deviantART and use this awesome design as a character study!

25. Pie-Molded Stained Porcelain Moth Plate by Adam Chau
How can we introduce the human hand into computer-controlled environments? Adam Chau makes handmade brushes that replace standard bits on a CNC machine to surface ceramic objects in cobalt blue. By having a unique tool only made possible by the hand, the outcomes differ from each other even when the program is repeated. The moth silhouette of these plates is a reference to the term 'mushikui' (moth-eaten edge), which describes a favorable, inconsistent cobalt line in porcelain decoration. Silhouetted animal and body part shapes mimick ko-sometsuke ware (Chinese exports of silhouetted dishes for the Japanese market) to show that digital technology can develop while still holding on to traditional themes. Adam Chau currently lives in Port Chester, NY where he is a Program Manager at Clay Art Center.

*From the Department of Internal Medicine, Niigata Prefectural Shibata Hospital, Shibata, Japan.
Correspondence to: Yasuhiko Tanabe, MD, Niigata Prefectural Shibata Hospital, Ohtemachi 4–5-48, Shibata City, Niigata, 957-8588 Japan
Objectives: The value of end-tidal
Pco2 monitoring during exercise in patients
with chronic heart failure has not been elucidated. The present study
was designed to examine end-tidal
Pco2 response to exercise and its
relation to functional capacity in patients with chronic heart
Methods and results: Maximal upright
ergometer exercise with respiratory gas analysis and arterial blood gas
analysis were performed in 105 patients with chronic heart failure (34
patients in New York Heart Association [NYHA] class I, 38 patients in
NYHA class II, and 33 patients in NYHA class III) and 14 normal control
subjects. Peak O2 uptake, excessive exercise ventilation as
assessed by the slope of the relation between expired minute
ventilation and CO2 output
(V̇e-V̇co2), and the
ratio of physiologic dead space to tidal volume
(Vd/Vt) were determined. Cardiac output was
also measured during exercise in 28 patients with chronic heart
failure. Arterial Po2 or
Pco2 values at rest and during exercise were
not different among the four groups. However, end-tidal
Pco2 was significantly lower, and arterial to
end-tidal Pco2 difference and
Vd/Vt were significantly higher in NYHA class
III patients than other groups during exercise. The maximal end-tidal
Pco2 during exercise was significantly reduced
as the severity of chronic heart failure advanced (45.7 ± 4.0 mm Hg
in normal control subjects, 43.5 ± 4.8 mm Hg in NYHA class I
patients, 39.7 ± 5.1 mm Hg in NYHA class II patients, and
34.9 ± 5.3 mm Hg in NYHA class III patients). The maximal end-tidal
Pco2 during exercise was significantly
correlated with peak O2 uptake (r = 0.68;
p < 0.001) and maximal cardiac index (r = 0.73;
p < 0.001), and inversely related to
(r = − 0.84; p < 0.001) and
Vd/Vt at peak exercise
(r = −0.65; p < 0.001).
The decreased end-tidal Pco2 during
exercise, which is caused by high ventilation/perfusion ratio
mismatching, reflects both reduced cardiac output response to exercise
and increased exercise ventilation due to enlarged physiologic dead
space in advanced chronic heart failure. The end-tidal
Pco2 during exercise can be used to
evaluate the functional capacity of patients with chronic heart
