Norwich — Democratic Alderwoman Deberey Hinchey hopes to make history next fall by being elected the first female mayor in the city.
She might have broken ground already Tuesday with her official announcement as a mayoral candidate, as longtime local political activists and local historians could not recall any female mayoral candidate in city history.
"It was pretty much a male preserve," city Historian Dale Plummer said of early 20th century mayoral races.
During the years when Norwich did not have a mayor, however, Bonnie Hong won the top elected spot as City Council president.
Hinchey, 60, a clinical social worker for VNA-East in Mansfield, said Tuesday she would leave her full-time job if she wins the mayoral seat next November, saying the city needs a mayor who is available during the day.
Current Republican Mayor Peter Nystrom has not yet announced whether he will run for a second term, but he has said he is leaning toward seeking re-election. Nystrom works for United Parcel Service.
Hinchey said she would work to better coordinate city agencies to work for economic development. Hinchey said currently, 53 percent of the city's tax base is from property taxes. During the recent unsuccessful campaign to build a $33 million police station, Hinchey said many residents she talked to supported the project, as she did, but decided they just couldn't afford another tax burden.
She said it shouldn't be a difficult job to market the city of Norwich to businesses, given assets such as Norwich Free Academy, Mohegan Park, the waterfront, the Thomas J. Dodd Memorial Stadium and the financially struggling Norwich Municipal Ice Rink that she worked to save last spring.
"I have great faith that we in Norwich are on the cusp of great change," Hinchey said.
Hinchey made her announcement in a crowded conference room at her husband Lloyd Hinchey's law office at 120 Broadway with about 15 family members, friends, supporters and party leaders.
Democratic Town Committee Chairman Frank Manfredi and fellow Alderman Francois "Pete" Desaulniers, council president pro tempore, attended, along with other town committee members.
Manfredi said no other Democrats have contacted the town committee to express interest.
"I wanted to get behind Deb early and let people know she is the best candidate for the city," Manfredi said.
The party nominating convention will be held in May.
Several supporters said they worked with Hinchey in recent years on political campaigns and other issues. Hinchey referred to herself and Desaulniers as "a duo" who worked together to try to rescue the ice rink and on other projects.
"The charter says the mayor is the official representative of the city, and that's what I intend to be," Hinchey said.

If the Bengals were fortunate enough to draft Glenn Dorsey, they would match that draft's success on that one pick alone. And once you count the other picks it would obviously be even better.
If the Bengals were fortunate enough to draft Glenn Dorsey, they would match that draft's success on that one pick alone. And once you count the other picks it would obviously be even better.
I'm not buying the Dorsey hype.
Follow me on twitter @EricLilly7
Gholson won't make it past the Patriots.
I'd prefer Gholson over Dorsey since he's a pass rushing DE as opposed to a hybrid DT.
The way I see it, Dorsey was all but a lock to go no 1. If we had a top 3 pick, I would say look at other options. Right now though, if you have a top 5 player slip to you at nine, you have to at least look.
One mock I read had the Bengals taking Dorsey, Erin Henderson, and Jacob Tamme with the first three picks. I'd like to see Tamme fall to the 4th round though and use our third on another DLineman though.
I would be happy with either Dorsey, Ellis or Gholston in the first.
If they can't get Dorsey or Ellis in the first then I wouldn't mind seeing them get Trevor Laws.
Not sure what round he will go in, but it will likely be higher than he was projected to go after having a good senior bowl and combine.
The only question with Dorsey is the stress fractures. The rest is golden goodness. Any of the top three defensive linemen is fine in my book. I would rank them Dorsey, Ellis, and then Gholston. The Bengals get gashed in the middle they must get a DT especially one that can get some pressure on the QB, because Peko can clog the middle, he just isn't getting up field. Get me a tweaner DE in the second round, like Derrick Harvey.
The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.
Derrick Harvey interest me a lot also in the 2nd round. If only the Bengals were a few games worse last year :o

Treking through all Star Trek

Re: Treking through all Star Trek
We appear to have the opposite opinions in almost every matter, thew. I didn't like the Temporal Cold War (with the exception of Detained), and thought it only got worse, while I loved The Andorian Incident and Shadows of P'Jem. I thought Dessert Crossing was OK and Breaking the Ice too. I love the portrayal of the Vulcans. It gave Enterprise a new culture to explore (I think the reason Tuvok had so little to do on Voyager was that Spock had already done it all, and by changing the Vulcans they avoided this with T'pol) and it really showed they have changed a lot since joining the Federation. My favourite episode of the season was The Andorian Incedent, and my least favourite Unexpected (the teaser was funny though).
As for your reviews, they're pretty good, but usually a bit short.

A few years after graduation, Anu Karwa '04 hosted a wine tasting in her apartment. Her goal was to raise money for Sakhi, a nonprofit that supports South Asian women escaping abusive relationships. She invited more than a dozen friends, told them to bring their checkbooks, and developed a theme.
"It was March, which was women's history month, so I featured all women winemakers and paired the wines with chocolates and cheese," Karwa says. "By the end, everybody said, 'you need to turn this into a business.'"
Karwa followed that advice and launched Swirl Events in 2007, offering wine tastings throughout the greater New York City area. Clients range from top law firms and banks to bridal showers and birthday parties. Karwa's main objective: to create a fun experience that lingers. "We're creating a brand so that every time you experience a Swirl event, it's going to have the same feel to it. It's a fun, lively approach to enjoying wine."
Today, Swirl employs a team of eight wine experts and an event coordinator. Karwa, who also does marketing for Peeled Snacks, founded by Noha Waibsnaider '02, focuses on Swirl's big-picture strategy. "I would love for people not to feel so intimidated by wine," Karwa says.
Go green. Swirl Events now offers an "eco-chic" package, which features all organic or biodynamic wine. "Grapes are one of the most heavily sprayed fruits out there," Karwa says.
Take 20 minutes. "People often keep white wines too cold and reds too hot. About 20 minutes before friends come over for dinner, I put my reds in the fridge and take my whites out. Then they're both at the right temperatures."

Baylor Senior
40: 5.20 (estimated)
Has nice technique and footwork, and sets up well. Shows ability to redirect pass rusher outside. Has a decent punch as a run blocker. Does a good job getting position on the kick out block. Shows some ability to lock on and does a good job finishing his blocks. Has decent pop. Does a nice job getting on the second level, locks onto linebacker or can hit the cut block. Plays with good mean streak and doesn't give up until he hears the whistle. Drives his defender downfield or to the ground.
Needs to improve his punch on the edge and do a better job initiating contact. Whiffs on his punch in pass protection and gets caught overextending. Will lose his feet in a short area. Needs to improve his hand placement. Doesn't do great when asked to adjust in space, and opens up his stance too early. Doesn't have the feet to mirror speed off the edge. Doesn't have great pop as a straight-ahead blocker, and rarely asked to do that. Works out of a two-point stance almost every snap.
Watkins is a solid position blocker with a good mean streak. He has very little experience playing football, as he didn't suit up in pads until 2007, his freshman year at Butte JC. He transferred to Baylor as a junior, and started 25 games at left tackle over the past two years. You couldn't tell that this is only his fourth year playing football when you watch him. Grew up playing hockey and rugby in British Columbia, and was a volunteer firefighter in his hometown, and the reason he went to Butte was because of their firefighters academy. He was the 4th overall pick in the 2010 CFL draft, and he'll be 27 in November.
Because of Watkins limited experience, but solid play, he looks like a natural as a football player. He's not going to play left tackle in the pros, but should be a solid fit inside at guard. I'm not sure his length to impact is that short because he'll have to go from working in a two-point stance on a constant basis, to playing almost exclusively in a three-point stance at the next level. And due to the slow progress of Jason Smith, another ex-Baylor prospect, I'm not as confident that he'll hit the ground running in the pros. But ultimately, he could be a Logan Mankins type player at the next level. He'll fit best in a zone blocking scheme. He's a more polished run blocker because his hand use isn't quite fully developed in pass protection, but his upside is higher in the latter area. I'm not convinced he'll be as good as Mankins at the next level, mainly because I'm not convinced he'll hit the ground running, but I think he can be a solid to good starter at guard. If he takes to NFL coaching, and I have little reason to think he won't, then he could potentially become one of the better guards in the league. His age isn't a huge concern, because guards and offensive linemen can typically play until their 35 if they are good enough. So the team that drafts him should be able to get 8 solid years out of him, most of which should be as a starter.
Watkins could give Johnson a run for his money as the left guard of the future. He's not quite the run blocker that Johnson is, but is an upgrade in pass protection because of his superior footwork. He probably wouldn't be a starter right off the bat, but could be a nice insurance policy at guard in case Johnson doesn't work out, or as a long-term replacement to Dahl or Blalock (if both or either return) at either guard spot. He could be a good starter in Atlanta, although he probably won't be an elite guy because he is not as good a straight-ahead run blocker as the Falcons prefer. But eventually, he should be a nice starter for the Falcons before his rookie contract expired and be a solid starter for the better part of his career.
For a team looking for a poor man's Logan Mankins, he might sneak into the latter part of the second round, but is probably more in line with third round talent since he's not a strong bet to come in immediately and be a good starter.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
Strength: 2.5
Pass Blocking: 3.0
Run Blocking: 3.0
Footwork: 3.0
Technique: 3.0
Mobility: 3.0
Mean Streak: 4.0

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/4/12
The way LaMarcus Aldridge was playing on Saturday night, Damian Lillard knew the Rockets would focus on the Trail Blazers' star in overtime. When the rookie started getting more open looks, he delivered. Lillard scored 20 points, including eight in overtime, and the Trail Blazers slowed down James Harden in a 95-85 win over Houston. ''(Aldridge) had it rolling, he was dominating the game offensively, and I just wanted to make sure I was in the position to knock the shots down,'' Lillard said. ''(Aldridge) got going and I was able to get easier shots.'' Aldridge finished with 27 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and two blocks for the Trail Blazers. All but four of Lillard's points came in the second half. He also had nine assists and six rebounds. Lillard and Nicolas Batum each made a 3 to help Portland open an 87-81 lead in the extra session. Harden then made a pair of free throws before Lillard converted a reverse layup. His second 3 of overtime pushed Portland's lead to 93-85...

Newark police have arrested a man who they say is a child predator.

The Côte d'Azur
The Côte d'Azur, often known in English as the French Riviera, is the Mediterranean coastline of the southeast corner of France, also including the sovereign state of Monaco.
The Côte d'Azur polarizes opinion like few places in France. To some it remains the most glamorous of all Mediterranean playgrounds; to others, it's an overdeveloped victim of its own hype. Yet at its best – in the gaps between the urban sprawl, on the islands, in the remarkable beauty of the hills, the impossibly blue water after which the coast is named.

|Gavry & Monroe Productions, LLC Patent applications
|Patent application number
|CAMERA STABILIZER - A camera stabilizer includes a grip for cameras that provides for stability of the camera without a shoulder mount or shoulder mount harness. The current camera stabilizer attaches around the arm of the user then extends through a member roughly parallel to the forearm to a grip that is held by the user. The grip is attached to the member by a ball joint that allows free positioning of the grip relative to the member but may then be locked in position for use. The camera is then attached to the grip. This allows the user to stabilize the camera by holding the elbow closer to the torso, by resting the elbow on a steady object, or by simply flexing the wrist which applies tension to the member thereby providing a more stable grip on the camera and a resulting more stable picture. A kit is also disclosed that includes the camera stabilizer and a harness for tethering the camera stabilizer to a camera operator.

Rather dissapointed in my Colts last night
By Khaan 11 Comments
I've been a huge fan of the Indianapolis Colts since Payton Manning came to town. The reason I followed him there was my love of the University of Tennessee football team in college. Last nights game showed me something that I haven't wanted to admit for awhile. Our entire offense is going to have to be rebuilt. Getting beyond the excuses about injuries with half our receivers sidelined, and our all pro Tight End. It's painfully obvious that every other team is willing to shell out big bucks to make championship runs now. I see this Jets team with all the new talent they have that wasn't there last year is just the latest example of that. I can't remember the last all star the Colts had that was drafted with the team. I'm sad that my Colts lost, but hopefully this is the first step for their organization to realize that having Manning is something they will not be able to always count on. They need to give him all the tools to win. Right now he's playing with an average offense, and for a Colts fan that's a complete 180 degree turn from where we used to be the best of the best when it came to offensive production.

Solvency II introduces a new EU-wide regulatory approach to determine capital adequacy for meeting an insurer's true risks. Due to come into force in 2012, Solvency II promises a more sophisticated 'risk-based' form of supervision that will require many insurers to augment their risk management framework, particularly with regard to operational risk. In a webinar hosted by Operational Risk & Regulation and sponsored by IBM, a group of panellists discussed how Solvency II affects operational risk management and shed light on the operational risk requirements and challenges facing insurance companies

First of all, I have been trying to find a drugstore alternative to my favorite Clinique tinted moisturizer which has been frustrating. I decided to try a BB cream, thinking that my very dry skin would appreciate a beauty balm since I've seen so many fantastic things about bb creams.
Here's my review: the packaging is great. It's very clean, simple squeeze tube much like what you would find at a department store. The product comes out whitish-gray...ick with granules. It's not grainy because the little granules dissolve but it's kind of scary at first. Upon application, it looked like zinc sunscreen on my fair skin. It was kind of streaky and felt very drying after about 10 minutes. After 1 hour, my skin looked flakey, cakey, and dry and a little too fair. The shade was definitely off and the rest of the day, my face felt so incredibly dry.
If you have the slightest dryness to your skin, stay away from this product. I totally wasted $10 on this crap and I have no idea how to use the rest because it is NOT going back on my face!

I bought Magic Skin Beautifier shortly after I bought the Dream Fresh BB cream that Maybelline put out (which I like quite a bit) thinking it might be better or that I might luck out and find two awesome BB creams. I probably should have known better as I rarely like anything L'Oreal sells, but I was admittedly caught up in the BB cream mania.
I'll start with the good points. First, this comes in a spiffy looking bottle. It has nice graphics, color, etc. and kinda looks like it's not a drugstore brand (ie not cheap-o looking). Well done bottle designing people. Second, matching the color was super simple. I am downright dumb when it comes to matching foundation to my skin which is why I rarely buy drugstore foundations. This has virtually no guess work involved as there are four shades. I felt pretty proud of myself for once because I finally got it right. Of course, there's a hitch. There's always a hitch.
This BB cream is in a word, awful. It is incredibly runny and not even comparable to a tinted moisturizer let alone a balm. It's also on the gritty side. The grit, I presume, are those tiny little color adjusting beads that miraculously transform themselves into the color of your skin. Miraculous or not, they're still gritty little devils. I could let that go as the grit does subside once the product is worked into the skin, but this BB cream makes me look terrible. The coverage is a bit spotty and it causes my skin to dry out and peel. I've worn this on various occasions and each time I have experienced peeling around my nose, above my eyebrows and on my cheeks. I'm not talking about peeling after I've removed it, I'm talking peeling that happens while I'm walking around with this junk on my face. I've tried applying this under different scenarios (washed faced, slightly damp with moisturizer/exfoliated face, slightly damp with moisturizer/no moisturizer, etc.) and I still look like I'm molting. My skin also continues to peel for a day or two after I wear this so I'm guessing the grit is a little too harsh for my not-so-sensitive skin.
The real source of contention for me is that every time I wear this, I get those annoying little zits. They're not the screaming, honking type of zits that totally ruin my day, but those little gross ones that pop after a lip wax - contact dermatitis. They're easily pop-able and a minor annoyance but sort of embarrassing because you're walking around thinking you look semi-hot only to glance in a mirror to see a little white, pus-filled friend on your face. The first time this happened, I chalked it up to hormones or some conspiring, evil force. After the fifth time, I know it's the product. Granted, I do have acne prone skin but the majority of my break outs are caused by hormonal nuttiness or a failure to keep up my regimen of twice a day face washing. I don't know what ingredient is causing me to break out but whatever it is, it's consistent.
For me, this BB cream just isn't worth the hassle. It's not even good as a back up or a quick run-to-the-store kind of makeup because of the peel-y skin and break outs it causes. I was tempted to try the L'Oreal Youth Code BB Cream Illuminator, but I think I'm done with L'Oreal products.

I must admit I was a tad freaked when I applied this to my finger because it was a grayish white color but once blended it matched my skin tone perfectly. I purchased Medium and I have a light to medium skin tone with (brown) freckles. This covered up the red spots in the corners of my nose, and although I didn't need concealer, I still applied some just to play it safe. This does not cover up my freckles, but then again nothing does, but I did not notice my minimal wrinkles were diminished. I've read this oxidizes; however, I have not had this happen to me (thank goodness). I like a natural look and this makes me look natural yet made up. The only drawback is I do which there was more in the tube.

I was skeptical about bb creams because I have such acne prone skin and acne scars to cover. I've been using it for two weeks and I can tell a huge difference in my skin. I use a dab of concealer under it and love the coverage! my acne scars look lighter and the tone and smoothness of my skin has improved and I've had hardly any bumps! definitely going to keep buying over and over! I was set in my foundation routine for years until I tried this!

I hate everything about this product! It's not a bb cream... not worth the money. Its so liquidy, I would even say tinted moisturizer gives more coverage and it does not adapt to your skin color. Its gonna turn whatever color they made it. HORRIBLE!!! and definitely a waste of $12

To start a little details about my skin type. I have oily, sensitive skin with a little redness and some sun spots. This particular bb cream has been the only one that hasn't made me break out or made my face an oil slick after 30 minutes. The first time I tried this out I brought it home from work in a sample size (in the color light) they had sent to us. I was a bit hesitant seeing that it was a white milky liquid type product with tiny beads placed into it. After applying it to my face with my hands I found that when worked in, it was not the color it started. It had changed and warmed up to my actual skin tone and left a matte finish. I do have to add though that it does dry pretty quickly so getting the product to where you want it must be done at a pretty fast pace. It is one of the heavier coverage bb creams and love that. It isn't foundation coverage don't get me wrong, but for everyday use it has a nice amount of coverage to cover any redness you may have and allows your skin to show through. I set it with my Rimmel Stay Matte translucent powder afterwards and it does good for some time. I do have to blot every so often but with or without face products I usually have to so it's not a big deal. Overall, good product and am yet to find a better bb cream. I will still be on the lookout though.

I don't know why many have given this bad reviews but I'm in love! It gives just the right amount of coverage for my skin. It hasn't broke me out at all which is a huge plus for me! I find myself always reaching for this. It's not heavy coverage so I wouldn't be able to use it on a bad skin day. It lasts all day and doesn't leave me oily at all. I'm an nc40 and use the medium shade for reference :)

I have used other BB creams in the past, and this is currently my favorite. My combination skin doesn't get oily after using this, and I don't have to set it with powder after use. I was worried initially because it comes out of the tube very quickly and has a very low consistency- it's runny and more liquid than cream. I always make sure to apply it quickly because it begins to turn orange-y while you're applying! I bought the Light version and as long as I completely rub it in, it doesn't streak or turn orange at all after use. I would buy it again, unless I found an even better product for me.

I LOVE this. I have repurchased this and i will continue to do so.
I had never tried a BB cream before, but i read somewhere that this one was the best one to use for oilier skintypes, since it mattified the skin the most. Now, I know there are people out there who have more problems with getting shiny through the day than me, however, where my skin gets oily; it gets REALLY shiny.
And does this make those areas matte completely? No. But i don't like my skin being completely matte anyway, so that's fine with me. The coverage is buildable, although it won't be a full coverage, and i do feel like it adjusts to my own skincolour! A little goes a long way too, you don't need much. I wouldn't use this without a daycream though(at least, not in wintertime); even though it will still add some glow, it just doesn't moisturize enough for those purposes (not that i expected this). But perhaps people with oily skintypes are able to use just this and nothing else.
What i love about it most is that i don't feel like i'm wearing foundation, and it doesn't look like i'm wearing foundation either.Which was one of the main reasons i wanted to try out a BB cream! It looks really natural. And what i love perhaps even more is that it doesn't break me out at ALL! My skin is very sensitive to break-outs, and it's always hard for me to find something that won't break me out. But i have been using this for at least 3 months, and there are no break-outs.
I still want to try some other BB creams, but i will keep on repurchasing this! Especially since it's one of the cheaper ones.

U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War With Cuba
2001-05-01, ABC News
In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's ... Fidel Castro. America's top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," and, "casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation." The plans had the written approval of all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and were presented to President Kennedy's defense secretary, Robert McNamara, in March 1962. But they apparently were rejected by the civilian leadership and have gone undisclosed for nearly 40 years. The Joint Chiefs even proposed using the potential death of astronaut John Glenn during the first attempt to put an American into orbit as a false pretext for war with Cuba. Should the rocket explode and kill Glenn, they wrote, "the objective is to provide irrevocable proof … that the fault lies with the Communists." The scary thing is none of this stuff comes out until 40 years after.

Former U.S. Air Force Officers Recount Experiences With UFOs at Nuclear Missile Bases
2010-10-27, ABC News
The U.S. government's official line may be that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) don't pose a national security threat, but a group of former Air Force officers gathered Monday in the nation's capital to tell a different story. During a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., seven former Air Force officers once stationed at nuclear bases around the country said that not only have UFOs visited Air Force bases, some have succeeded in disabling nuclear missiles stationed there. "I want the government to acknowledge that this phenomenon exists," said Robert Salas, a former U.S. Air Force Nuclear Launch Officer. Salas said he doesn't think the UFOs he claims to have encountered had any offensive intent, but he believes they wanted to leave an impression. "They wanted to shine a light on our nuclear weapons and just send us a message," he said. "My interpretation is the message is get rid of them because it's going to mean our destruction." Other former officers recounted similar stories of unexplained moving lights and odd-shaped flying objects during their time in the service. Leslie Kean, an investigative journalist and author of the new book "UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record," said thousands of pages of documentation support the officers' accounts. She spent the last 10 years researching UFOs and combing through thousands of pages of declassified government material. Kean said that one declassified document that she researched for her book, relating to the Salas incident, said, "the fact that no apparent reason for the loss of the 10 missiles can easily be identified is a cause for grave concern to this headquarters."

Inside the secretive Bilderberg Group
2005-09-29, BBC News
How much influence do private networks of the rich and powerful have on government policies and international relations? One group, the Bilderberg, has often attracted speculation that it forms a shadowy global government. Every year since 1954 [they have brought] together about 120 leading business people and politicians. At this year's meeting in Germany, the audience included the heads of the World Bank and European Central Bank, Chairmen or Chief Executives from Nokia, BP, Unilever, DaimlerChrysler and Pepsi ... editors from five major newspapers, members of parliament, ministers, European commissioners ... and the queen of the Netherlands. The chairman ... is 73-year-old Viscount Etienne Davignon. In an extremely rare interview, he played down the importance of Bilderberg. "I don't think (we are) a global ruling class because I don't think a global ruling class exists." Will Hutton ... who attended a Bilderberg meeting in 1997, says people take part in these networks in order to influence the way the world works, to create what he calls "the international common sense". And that "common sense" is one which supports the interests of Bilderberg's main participants. For Bilderberg's critics the fact that there is almost no publicity about the annual meetings is proof that they are up to no good. Bilderberg meetings often feature future political leaders shortly before they become household names. Bill Clinton went in 1991 while still governor of Arkansas, Tony Blair was there two years later while still an opposition MP. All the recent presidents of the European Commission attended Bilderberg meetings before they were appointed. Informal and private networks like Bilderberg have helped to oil the wheels of global politics and globalisation for the past half a century.
Note: Why is this meeting of top world leaders kept so secret? Why, until a few years ago, was there virtually no reporting on this influential group in the major media? Thankfully, the alternative media has had some good articles. And a Google search can be highly informative. Explore many other revealing major media news articles on powerful secret societies. And for those interested, check out reliable, eye-opening information covering the big picture of how and why these secret societies are using government-sponsored mind control programs to achieve their agenda.

How pharmaceutical company Alexion set the price of the world's most expensive drug
2015-06-25, CBC (Canada's PBS)
What if your life depended on a drug that cost half a million dollars a year, every year, for the foreseeable future? That's the price of Soliris, one of the world's most expensive drugs. It is the only medicine available for people suffering from two ultra-rare diseases. And for both diseases, Soliris is not a cure, but ... patients can go back to living normal lives. But only if they can get the drug, and many can't, because it is priced beyond the reach of almost everyone. So how can one drug cost more than the annual income of all but a tiny percentage of households? The reason is ... orphan drug pricing, where actual research and development costs are carefully guarded secrets known only to drug company executives. "Orphan" in this context refers to rare diseases [for which] the patient population was too small to attract the interest of drug companies. But now medications to treat these ultra-rare diseases are becoming more profitable than traditional drugs, because of ... a business model based on extreme pricing. The extreme prices of these new orphan drugs are largely arbitrary, and have very little to do with the development and manufacturing costs. Most drugs are based on scientific discoveries made in publicly funded research labs, by academic scientists. In case of Soliris, most of the research and development was done by university researchers working in academic laboratories supported by public funds. Soliris is Alexion's only drug, but it's a blockbuster, earning revenues of more than $6 billion in just eight years, and making Alexion one of the fastest growing companies in the world.

The War on Drugs: 'A Trillion-Dollar Failure'
2015-06-25, Rolling Stone
Don Winslow['s book] The Cartel, a sequel to 2005's The Power of the Dog [is] a sort of Game of Thrones of the Mexican drug wars, a multipart, intricately plotted, blood-soaked epic that tells the story of how America's unquenchable appetite for illegal drugs has brought chaos to our southern neighbors and darkened our own political and criminal culture. Dog ... traces the rise of the narcotraficantes who split Mexico into territories and smuggled cocaine across the U.S. border by the ton. The violence ... spills out into Mexican society, turning cities like Juarez into Fallujah-like battle zones. But the most shocking thing about these books is that almost all the horror stories Winslow tells ... are largely true – from the narcotrafficker who threw children off a bridge to ... countless murders, kidnappings and tortures. The War on Drugs is a trillion-dollar failure. We spend billions of dollars pursuing drugs and billions imprisoning people that probably shouldn't be in prison. This war has killed a hundred thousand people in Mexico. These ISIS beheadings that we're seeing [are] a direct copy of what the cartels were doing in 2007 and 2008. The Zetas had imported Special Forces veterans from the Guatemalan army – and one of their things was to cut off heads. [There's] a direct line between events in Ferguson and Baltimore and Cleveland to the War on Drugs. The fruits that we're reaping now are seeds that were planted back in 1971, when Nixon declared war on drugs. The War on Drugs is more of a problem to the United States than drugs are.

Joseph Stiglitz: how I would vote in the Greek referendum
2015-06-29, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
The rising crescendo of bickering and acrimony within Europe might seem to outsiders to be the inevitable result of the bitter endgame playing out between Greece and its creditors. In fact, European leaders are finally beginning to reveal the true nature of the ongoing debt dispute: it is about power and democracy much more than money and economics. Of course, the economics behind the programme that the "troika" (the European Commission, the European Central Bank, and the International Monetary Fund) foisted on Greece five years ago has been abysmal, resulting in a 25% decline in the country's GDP. I can think of no depression, ever, that has been so deliberate and had such catastrophic consequences: It is startling that the troika has refused to accept responsibility for any of this or admit how bad its forecasts and models have been. But what is even more surprising is ... the troika is still demanding that Greece achieve a primary budget surplus (excluding interest payments) of 3.5% of GDP by 2018. Economists around the world have condemned that target as punitive, because aiming for it will inevitably result in a deeper downturn. Indeed, even if Greece's debt is restructured beyond anything imaginable, the country will remain in depression if voters there commit to the troika's target. Almost none of the huge amount of money loaned to Greece has actually gone there. It has gone to pay out private-sector creditors – including German and French banks. Greece has gotten but a pittance, but it has paid a high price to preserve these countries' banking systems.
Note: Joseph E. Stiglitz, a Nobel laureate in economics, is a professor at Columbia University. Note that as a result of the troika's austerity measures instituted five years ago, Greece's rate of youth unemployment now exceeds 60%.

Recipe by Kimber
"I have changed this recipe off and on during the years, but generally it has remained the same wonderful dish. Add red bell pepper for additional color if you wish!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 tablespoons
olive oil
2 bunches
green onions, sliced, white parts and tops separated
jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons
2 cups
uncooked long-grain rice
salt to taste
1 teaspoon
black pepper
2 cups
chicken broth
1 1/2 cups
1/2 cup
minced cilantro
1/2 cup
minced parsley
This really was excellent, both in taste as well as presentation. In deference to Hubs' sensitive innards I replaced half the jalapeno with minced green pepper and also cut back a bit on the cilantro, since he's of the camp whose taste buds believe it tastes like soap. Flavorful, but in a supportive way. It doesn't "step on the toes" of the main dish, in this case, "Bacon Wrapped Barbecue Shrimp," recipe also from this site. I can see this as being a conveniently versatile rice dish too, the ideal complement to ANY meat or seafood entree simply by eliminating the cilantro and jalapeno if it doesn't fit. As written, however, it's delightful.
this is a great recipe to mess around with. i made this with substitutions: 2 med poblano peppers, 1/2 sweet onion. added: 1 dried red chili pepper crushed. next time i make this, i will make sure to rinse my rice first. overall though, a yum.

Made 1/2 the recipe as written (used Basmati rice & white wine). Allowed the rice to fry in the oil/onions/jalapeno mixture for a minute or two before adding wine & broth/water (didn't bother to measure salt & pepper). It seemed like the ratio of rice/green ingredients was off (1 bunch of green onions = 1/4lb) but it wasn't! We really liked this, none of the flavors overpowered the other & it was just nice & fresh tasting. The jalapeno & cilantro doesn't mean it needs to be served alongside an ethnic dish - it's that neutral. Also for those afraid of the jalapeno, I scraped as much seeds & pith as I could so I was just left with the flavor of the pepper & none of the heat. Half the recipe easily served 6. Thanks Kimber, I'm really glad I tried this!
We really enjoyed this. I added the juice of one lime and a bit of zest too. Thanks for the recipe:)
Somehow I am just now seeing the reviews which is odd for me but I am thankful for they might have persuaded me to pass on this. I REALLY REALLY liked this recipe. So much in fact that this will be my go to when serving Mexican food. I even used the leftover with an Asian stir-fry and liked it in that too. Not sure what the others didn't like about this because I found the fresh cilantro, parsley, and green onion tops very fresh tasting and rewarding. 5 stars all the way. This was excellent!
This recipe packs a punch! It is spicy and oh so delicious! It is a great side dish with mexican food and it tastes even better with some melted mozarella cheese on top! I wasn't expecting this recipe to be anything special- but it is going to the top of the cookbook! Thanks!
Very nice. Pleasant change from standard Spanish rice with the red chili flavor. I only added a half of jalapeno because we're gringos. :) But the rice came out fluffy and flavorful. The color and the crunch of fresh cilantro and scallions made it stand out. I served with slices of lime to squeeze over the rice dish. It really added zing. Thanks for the recipe!
The flavor of this rice was tasty without being overwhelming. It was great warmed up the next day.

Hi, we're trying to set the angular velocity of a rotating object, the problem is that it's not responding very well. We're setting the angular damping to 0 after which we try to set the velocity with setAngularVelocity(). The problem is that there's some kind of threshold before it starts to spin at all, and when that is reached it starts to spin to fast. It's as if there's inertia affecting the angular velocity and we're trying to apply impulses each frame.
Also, I have another little question here, we're trying to get a rigid body to act as a grab volume by having it another collision layer and then creating constrains to it. Since we don't want this rigid body to be affected by the mass of the player we do a setTransform( staticFixedRootRigidBody->getTransform() ); each frame, this doesn't prevent the grab volume from still being affected by the mass of the player though. I'm thinking this have something to do in which order the solver solves the constraint vs the setting the transform, but I'm not certain since we don't have the source.
Grateful for any help!

The researchers observed the inside of the battery as it charged and discharged over 15 hours. They gathered unique, three-dimensional movies that capture the degradation mechanisms occurring in the battery and quantified the processes occurring within every particle for the thousands of particles in the electrode. The results of this study will be published in the journal Science; a pre-print version is available online at Science Express.
Irreversible structural changes
The data illustrate that tin oxide (SnO) particles expand during charging due to the influx of lithium ions causing an increase in particle volume. The scientists demonstrate that material lithiation happens as a core-shell process, progressing uniformly from the particle surface to the core. The material undergoing this reaction expands linearly with the stored charge. The x-ray images show that charging destroys the particle structure irreversibly with cracks forming within the particles. "This crack-formation is not random," emphasizes Ebner. Cracks grow at locations where the crystal lattice contains preexisting defects. During discharge, the particle volume decreases; however, the material does not reach its original state again; the process is therefore not completely reversible.
The volume change of the individual particles drives expansion of the entire electrode from 50 micrometers to 120 micrometers. However, during discharge, the electrode contracts only to 80 micrometers. This permanen

Girls - What does it feel like to have a vagina?
I know this might sound creepy but here it goes... What does it feel like to have a vagina? Can you feel the hole inside of you, or is it like you... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
This is the funniset question ever.
I've always wondered what it was like to have a penis. It seems odd to have a wad of skin dangling between your legs, it seems like it would be in the way all the time. I'm always asking my husband about it, lol.
As for having a vag, you don't think about it until something is wrong, or you have to use it. Just like any other body part.
What Girls Said 8
I don't think it feels like anything really and I don't really think about it unless I'm on my period or going to the bathroom or something like that. I've always wondered what it feels like to have a penis. It's hard to explain how it feels when your peeing, it's like a flow coming out of you I guess it's like how guys pee.
I think it is kind of like your butt hole in that you don't exactly feel it...unless you rub it against something. Peeing just feels like liquid being poured on your penis I suppose. It's just liquid falling down your vagina. lol I'm sorry. I'm trying to be as detailed as possible here. I hope it helped. haha
What! Why would you ask a question like that? I won't even answer something like that. I can't even believe you would ask that! Beyond creepy and you know what I thought a kid asked this but I see you are older. Wow!
Basically you just answered. Good Job
Would you care to elaborate? I am not sure what you are trying to say.
What Guys Said 2
You know... the clitoris is simply a tiny underdeveloped penis. The ovaries are testicles that never protruded. Males start as females in the womb and we both begin with tails. Men have estrogen and women have testosterone. We're really extremely similar.
I think you mean men have testosterone and women have estrogen...
- Show Older Hide Older
You are right smith2267, but testosterone is dominant in males and estrogen is dominant in females, not the other way around.
You're right, but no one ever said otherwise.
I assumed it common knowledge that people know men have testosterone. I wanted to make a reminder that men also have estrogen and wanted to do so without using so many words. From your first comment, I thought you didn't know men and women both have the same types of sex steroids.
Have an opinion?

JUST PUBLISHED - Our 2014 picks for the Best Canister Vacuums.
Latest reviews & articles for 2014 and 2015
Avg. consumer rating = 93/100 The Shark Rotator TruePet NV652 is getting top notch reviews and ratings from owners. The TruePet is a 3-in-1 vacuum cleaner and it operates as an upright, a canister, and to some extent a handheld. It has powerful suction and comes with a host of features and accessories including a pet tool with a motor-driven brush. The hose however, is a bit stiff and can sometimes tip the vacuum when it is stretched, and some owners feel that the dust canister is a bit small.
Avg. consumer rating = 87/100 We recently got our hands on the new Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal + Allergy upright vacuum cleaner. Dyson is known for pushing the boundaries of technology and this machine is no exception. Not only is it bagless, but it also has no filters to clean or replace. All you have to do is empty the dust canister once in a while.
Avg. consumer rating = 81/100
This is a compact, lightweight vacuum that is designed for smaller homes. It is bagless, has washable filters and is inexpensive. It also has respectable suction, and this, combined with the aforementioned characteristics, elicits reasonably good ratings from owners. However, owners who are not aware that this machine is about 2/3 full-size sometimes report being disappointed. They highlight that the unit has less power, a shorter power cord, and a smaller dust canister than expected.
Avg. consumer rating = 96/100 The Alize is a fantastic canister vacuum but it is important to understand what you are buying before you purchase. Miele makes a wide range of canister vacuums each with a host of different features and attachments. The Alize is a great machine for cleaning smooth surfaces like hardwood floors, tile or vinyl. It is also effective on flat weave rugs and low pile carpet. However with its existing set of attachments it may not be the best choice for homes with lots of carpet (especially medium to deep pile carpet).
Avg. consumer rating = 93/100 The Sebo X4 is a bagged upright vacuum cleaner designed and manufactured in Germany. It has hospital-grade filtration and is approved by the British Allergy Foundation. It is well-built and reliable but expensive. The X4 is noted for being powerful, capable on both carpet and bare floors and excellent at pulling up pet hair. It is a tad on the heavy side however and the machine, while highly effective, looks a bit dated.
Avg. consumer rating = 87/100 Never has a vacuum cleaner elicited so many I love it and I hate it consumer comments at the same time. There are many 5 star ratings but also quite a few 1 or 2 star reviews. Owners praise the vacuum for its strong suction, ability to pick up pet hair, easy maintenance, and low profile nozzle, however there are also comments that the dust canister has to be emptied frequently, the hose is short and the nozzle is hard to move on bare floors.
Avg. consumer rating = 87/100
The Hoover Air Cordless Series 3.0 was just released in April of this year. It is a cordless, lightweight upright that is somewhere between a stick vac and a full size vacuum - perhaps best described as a mid-size, cordless upright. It comes with 2 long-life batteries so run time is excellent and the machine is very easy to maneuver. The hose and wand assembly is awkward however and a few owners report that the tools are not particularly high quality.
