NEW SERIES ALERT: The Pheonix Pack by Suzanne Wright
THE SERIES: The Phoenix Pack
BOOK #1: Feral Sins | GENRE: Paranormal Romance
PUBLISHER: Montlake Romance | RELEASE DATE: February 2013
When female wolf shifter Taryn Warner first encounters Trey Coleman, an alpha male wolf shifter with a dangerous reputation, she's determined to resist his charms. After all, Trey—who was only fourteen when he defeated his own father in a duel, winning the right to be alpha of his pack—can't have anything to offer the talented healer besides trouble, or so she thinks. Taryn finds herself drawn in by Trey's forceful demeanor and arctic-blue eyes, and she eventually agrees to enter an uneasy alliance with him. If the two succeed in convincing their respective packs that they've chosen each other as mates, Trey will win valuable political allies, while Taryn will escape an odious arranged mating.
But there are a lot of potential pitfalls to this plan—including the very real possibility that the wolf shifters, overwhelmed by their growing attraction to each other, will be unable to maintain the clear heads needed to pull off the deception.
I don't remember a time when I wasn't writing something, whether it was stories, poems, or even songs – though I can't carry a tune. I only have one rule when I'm writing a book which is that it has to have a happy ending. Other than that, pretty much anything goes. I write stories that I would enjoy reading and then I just hope that others will enjoy them too.
I was born and raised in England where I live with my husband (a person who doesn't judge me for hearing voices in my head – how often do you come across people like that?), my two demanding children, and my eight year old American Bulldog who still thinks he's a puppy. (Author Website)

By MOON-HEE ANDERSSONSweden and Canada have a lot in common, to mention but a few; both countries are highly industrialized, are pretty thinly populated with a cold climate and with a strong love for ice-hockey. Being something of an ice hockey buff myself it was with great pleasure I talked to Mr Neil Gordon in Canada.
Neil is a firm believer in nanotechnology and also a proud Canadian. He is a firm a believer in the enabling technology as well as Canadian know-how. Last year, in April he and Uri Sagman founded the Canadian NanoBusiness Alliance (CNBA). They recruited entrepreneurs and business people to create something that they call the SWAT team to call upon the Canadian government to establish a national nanotechnology initiative, much like the one in the US. Presently without funding, the Alliance is driven by the likes of Neil, dedicating spare-time and souls in the promotion of nanotech.
Business AND playWhen Neil isnt busy promoting nanotechnology he spends his days working as a nano-tech business consultant at Sygertech in Montreal. His first encounter with nanotechnology was some 3,5 years ago as he got a due diligence assignment for a venture capitalist. The more research he did and the more he learned about nanotechnology, the more he realized that this was the future, not only in general but very much for himself in particular. And he was right indeed; today Neils assignments are all nanotech. What set off Neils quest for a national nanotech initiative in Canada was that he discovered that most of his clients came from outside Canada, so almost out of the necessity to create industry development, Neil decided to establish the NanoBusiness Alliance in Canada.
NHL vs. Farmers LeagueThere are some 25 universities in Canada conducting nanotechnology research and a majority of research is funded by the government. However, Neil says, considering that Canada is the second biggest country in the world, we only spend, per capita, 1/6th of what the US is spending on nanotech research, and this gap is widening. I mention that one figure that has been used in the media is that the Canadian government spends roughly only around $13 million per year on nanotech. Being so greatly dependant on the USA for trading making up for 86% of Canadas foreign market is something that Neil deeply worries about. He says; There is a fear that Canada will, just like some other western countries, end up being just a farm-system. Our best and brightest are just going to move to the major US nanotech hubs, because thats where the jobs are going to be. Its just like hockey; you can see that the best Canadian and the best Swedish hockey-players are all going after the better paid jobs in the US. You have to be competitive because it is a global market. Neil continues; This is what I fear have will happen as nanotechnology evolves from science into commercial applications. A real example of this fear is the co-founder of the CNBA, Mr Sagman, who last year moved his company C Sixty from Toronto, Canada to Houston, US due to access to key people at Rice University and getting closer to capital. Neil says; This is a shame, Mr Sagman really wanted his company to stay in Canada, but being a businessman he had to go where his organisation can evolve.
Poke CheckThe scientific backbone of Canada is carried out by Canadas National Research Council which has 4 000 researchers throughout the country. The main campus is in Ottawa but the NRC has regional institutes throughout Canada. Right now Neil is working together with the NRC to develop a nano-material cluster in Montreal where the Industrial Material Institute is already situated. Neil tells me Canada is very strong in industrial nano-materials. He qualifies; We have all the basic science and academia, but what we lack is the industrial thrust to capitalize and leverage the strengths of Canada. In order to remedy, Neil says that he believes that the Canadian government should give incentives to companies to get into nanotech. He says; Like when the US government says, if you do this research, we will give you the grants. This is the role of government, Neil says and continues, Theres so much high-risk research that has to be carried out, that you need the government to remove some of that risk to justify the research. We can already see countries like Switzerland, Israel, Australia and Japan making some very aggressive efforts to stimulate companies to go into nanotech. This is something we need to do too because without the industry, we only have the basic research left.
Line-upWatching what appears like a build up for a global nanotech race and seeing countries like the US investing heavily to be able to emerge victorious, I ask Neil what he thinks has to be done by small market countries, like Canada and Sweden, to qualify for that race. He believes that his firm opinion is that in order for Canada to be able to compete on a global nanotech market, they have to coordinate the national laboratories, the academia and the industry and come up with national challenges that could position Canada and other countries as world-leaders in some niches. He says; If we do so, Canada has a great chance to be a leader within those niches. The game is still open, and there is still room for first-movers.
Breakthrough with Breakout Though Neil may appear somewhat pessimistic, he certainly isnt. Making calls for action is after all his task. The outlook for the Canadian nanotech scene isnt pitch-black. The Prime Minister Jean Chretien, has laid out an innovation strategy thats planned to be implemented before his retirement in February 2004. Neil comments; Since significant funding will be spent on innovation, its our expectation that some of it will go into nanotechnology. As of today no one knows how much will actually be dedicated to nanotech. Neil sounds hopeful as he says: One thing that I do know is the Deputy Prime Minister John Manley is personally aware of the benefits of nanotechnology, and Paul Martin, the person who is most likely to succeed our current prime minister was a strong supporter to build National Institute of Nanotechnology in Edmonton, Alberta. So while it seems that the best Canadian hockey-players will keep going to the NHL, the Canadian Government is making a sincere effort to maintain the best scientists.
NanoTech Investors?
Should nanotech be treated as an investment area in its own right?

Now, this often makes sense but it's positively harmful if you only want to download static resources. Consider all the style sheets and images on your website: usually, there's no reason to send cookies to the server when requesting an image resource.
A good solution is therefore to use a subdomain for static resources, such as

Here is another minor perspective.
By not having www, there is a minor downside when it comes to text-based media, whether printed or online, and that is getting it recognized as a web address. In print, it's usually pretty obvious that example.com is a web address, and you can add styling touches to highlight that. But plain text online? Not so easy. The chances are that if you send a plain text message – whether email, tweet, Facebook post, SMS or whatever – it will recognize a URL beginning with http:// or www. but won't recognize one without either of those. So in order to make the URL into a clickable link, you have to either put www. or http:// on the front, and of the two, www. is shorter, less clunky to look at and easier to read.

TC TO MARY RICH ; 21 June 1841; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18410621-TC-MRI-01; CL 13: 159-160
Chelsea, 21 june, 1841
Dear Mrs Rich,
Do you think your Sister, Mrs R. Mackintosh,1 has got a Copy of Emerson's Essays which she could lend me for a while? I am about reprinting the Book, with a little Preface, for our English market; in which operation a complete copy to lie beside me will naturally prove desirable. Of our two copies, which we lately had, one is gone to be torn up by the Printer, and the other is lent to French Rio, whom, as he had decided to read it "four times over," there was no refusing!2 Failing Mrs M., John Sterling has a copy, which I think I can get with some difficulty. Nay, if need were, I might contrive to dispense with such accommodation altogether.
We hope now we have got a house in Scotland in my birthland; very cheap, commodious, tolerably solitary, yet within reach of my kindred and of most of the North-Country people I care about. It is close by a place called Annan; final news of the bargain being struck are expected this week. Do you know the Scotch song:
Let us be thankful, therefore, and take sweetly to our roost, such as it is.
Yours ever truly /
T. Carlyle

Shale gas development could create tens of thousands of jobs, reduce imports, generate significant tax revenue and support British manufacturing. The Institute of Directors' comprehensive new report, Getting shale gas working, studies the lessons of previous energy developments, investigates the economic impacts of potential shale gas production at scale, and sets out the practical steps for both government and industry to overcome the key barriers.
Corin Taylor, Senior Economic Adviser at the IoD and author of the report, said:
"Shale gas could be a new North Sea for Britain, creating tens of thousands of jobs, supporting our manufacturers and reducing gas imports. Further exploration will be needed to assess the size of technically and commercially recoverable resources. At the same time, partnerships need to be established between industry, government and communities to ensure that development of this vital national resource benefits local people."
Read the full document or an eight-page summary of the report here, and watch a video of Corin Taylor explaining the findings.
The key findings of the report, which will be launched in Lancashire on Wednesday, include:
Economic benefits
Environmental benefits
Surface footprint
Barriers and recommendations
Shale gas development will have two stages. Exploration must continue to assess the size of technically and commercially recoverable resources. If this is successful, then government and industry must collaborate to enable production to go ahead.
Barrier: The planning and permitting regime involves four agencies, and two public consultations are needed to drill and fracture one exploration well.
Recommendation: Clear guidance should be provided for planning and permitting. The national agencies – DECC, the Environment Agency and the Health and Safety Executive – should sign off on the sub-surface drilling and fracturing processes, and the local Minerals Planning Authority should concentrate on the surface impacts, including truck movements. For a production phase, planning permission should be given for all potential activities on a site, rather than covering each well – otherwise it would be like needing a separate planning application for each turbine in a wind farm. A National Policy Statement should be drawn up, making clear that shale gas developments are part of the UK's nationally significant energy infrastructure.
Barrier: Local authorities and communities need to benefit financially from hosting nationally important shale gas production sites.
Recommendation: Local authorities should receive a share of the gains from shale gas development in their area. Allowing them to keep 100% of the business rates for shale gas sites is a good option. Community benefit schemes must be flexible and spent on locally-determined priorities.
Barrier: The industry itself needs to develop a "social licence to operate". Although 50% of residents of Blackpool, Fylde and West Lancashire support exploration in their region, more needs to be done to gain the confidence of local communities.
Recommendation: Each site needs to be accompanied by full disclosure of the chemicals used in the fracturing fluid, as set out in the guidelines issued by the UK Onshore Operators Group. Residents should also be told how many trucks will be visiting the site, how much water will be used and what will be done with it afterwards.
Barrier: Skills shortages are a problem for offshore oil and gas production, and skilled people will be needed for onshore shale gas production.
Recommendation: Partnerships to improve skills and support the supply chain should be developed. A skills action plan should be drawn up and "Project Pathfinder", which provides real-time data on upcoming projects for the offshore supply chain, should be replicated.
Barrier: It currently takes 3 ½ years to obtain a grid connection, which is far too long.
Recommendation: Government leadership needs to be strengthened. The Office for Unconventional Gas and Oil should propose measures to reduce the time it takes to obtain a grid connection.
Dan Byles MP, Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Unconventional Oil & Gas, member of the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee, and author of the report's foreword, said:
"Shale gas is about more than simply gas. It is about wider British industry, providing secure energy and raw materials for manufacturers. The North Sea is rightly regarded as a model for effective offshore oil and gas regulation. If we get this right, in future I believe the world could look to the UK as the gold standard for a well regulated and safe shale gas industry that benefits local communities and the nation."
Dan Lewis, Chief Executive of Future Energy Strategies, Energy Policy Adviser to the IoD and author of Chapter 2 of the report, said:
"Within living memory, Aberdeen became the energy capital of Europe and the second richest part of the UK. With excellent infrastructure, a long history of innovation and key strengths in advanced engineering and manufacturing, Lancashire is well placed to take advantage of the benefits that shale gas could bring."

North Wales transport infrastructure must not be allowed to be left behind. That is why I am leading a debate this week in the National Assembly calling for strong cross-party co-operation in supporting the case for north Wales electrification.
Following the announcement by the Coalition Government of its intention to electrify the South Wales Mainline, the Welsh Liberal Democrats are calling on the Welsh Government to start work immediately on developing a business case that can then be submitted to the UK Department of Transport.
The Welsh Liberal Democrats believe that all streams of investment must be explored, including the newly-established €50bn Connecting Europe Facility which aims to finance energy, communication infrastructure and transport links.
Electrification of the South Wales Main Line was delivered as a result of a concerted effort by civic society, politicians and academics to ensure that there was a robust business case. The campaign was cross-institution and cross-party and, as a result, a compelling case was created for electrification. It is now time to emulate that successful campaign in North Wales.
Figures clearly show that since the creation of the National Assembly, North Wales has suffered from a much slower rate of growth than the rest of Wales. There is a chance that, with the welcome economic boost that electrification in south Wales will bring, the north-south gap could be exacerbated. Electrification in north Wales is essential if we are not to be left behind.
An integrated and effective transport system is crucial if we are to get our economy moving in the right direction. Improved rail links will provide a much needed boost to the north Wales economy which is why the Welsh Labour Government must recongise this as a matter of priority.
The Welsh Labour Government's National Transport Plan does not contain a single reference to north Wales electrification and sadly the Welsh Government does have a bit of a reputation for dragging its heels when it comes to making big decisions. We are therefore calling on the Minister to move this to the top of his agenda so that we can present a comprehensive business case as soon as possible to the UK Department of Transport.

Getting behind Myanmar's reforms
Author: Trevor Wilson, ANU
Australia hosted a high-level government delegation from Myanmar this week, led by President Thein Sein.
Thein Sein's ambitious program of economic and political reform has surprised the international community since he assumed office in March 2011. The visit — the first to Australia since 1974 — allowed the Gillard government to make a number of new commitments specifically designed to support Myanmar's reform process and the development of democratic institutions.
The visit followed a series of similar overseas trips that Thein Sein has made since assuming office. Its purpose was to reassure Australia — and the Burmese community in Australia — that his government is genuinely committed to reform. In return, Thein Sein was looking for (and received) an explicit reaffirmation of Australia's support for these reforms. He also thanked Australia for its past support as Myanmar's fourth-largest bilateral aid donor.
During the visit, Prime Minister Gillard announced additional Australian aid for Myanmar to create a 'Myanmar-Australia Partnership for Reform'. This will not involve a substantial increase in aid (AU$20 million over two years, in addition to the AU$58 million that Australia has already committed for 2012–13), but it does represent a significantly new style of commitment. The partnership is targeted at helping Myanmar's government to 'strengthen democratic institutions, promot[e] human rights, improv[e] economic governance and advanc[e] the rule of law'. These governance-related goals signal a policy shift from Australia's traditional emphasis on providing aid to fulfil humanitarian objectives in health, education and poverty alleviation. They also represent Australia's first concrete commitment to President Thein Sein's reform agenda.
Controversially, Gillard also announced that Australia will 'support democratisation and reform' in Myanmar by restarting its defence engagement with the state. Australia will post a defence attaché to Myanmar for the first time since 1988, and resume defence training for Myanmar soldiers in peacekeeping operations, and humanitarian and disaster relief activities. This change means that, as well as being the first country to lift economic sanctions on Myanmar, Australia is now the first to partially lift defence sanctions (the United States has always had defence attachés in Yangon). Australian restrictions on military operational cooperation and arms sales will remain in place.
Gillard also announced a series of measures to encourage the development of commercial ties between Australia and Myanmar. Australia will encourage ethical trade with, and investment in, Myanmar by Australian firms, including through the global Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, which will hold its next global conference in Sydney in May 2013. Gillard also confirmed that Austrade will re-open an office in Myanmar in the near future. These announcements followed the launch of an Australia-Myanmar Chamber of Commerce by Australian business groups last week, just ahead of Thein Sein's visit.
Some commentators have characterised Prime Minister Gillard's announcements as a 'reward' for Thein Sein, perhaps implicitly questioning whether they were appropriate or well timed. During his visit, President Thein Sein was met by loud demonstrations protesting against ongoing human rights abuses in Myanmar and the treatment of ethnic minority groups in areas where the Myanmar army is still fighting insurgencies. These protests are a reminder that opinion on the progress of Myanmar's reforms is not unanimous.
But few people in Myanmar would see it this way. They would likely interpret Gillard's announcements as recognition that Myanmar needs serious help to achieve Thein Sein's reforms, especially given the low levels of international assistance that Myanmar has received during the past 20 years of sanctions. Many of the approximately 20,000 Burmese residents in Australia are also looking for ways to contribute to Thein Sein's reform program.
The president's visit highlights a significant change in Australia's policy approach to Myanmar. Australia is determined not to be a mere observer in the country that will assume the chair of ASEAN in 2014. The Gillard government is now directly supporting reform-related activities, rather than just pursuing traditional humanitarian objectives. This approach will help to embed reforms and prevent them from failing before Myanmar's next elections in 2015.
It is vital now that Australia live up to these important new commitments to improve governance, strengthen democratic institutions, and promote human rights as Myanmar moves towards democracy. Some promises made in June 2012 by Foreign Minister Bob Carr have still not been fully honoured.

Do you know how to make sure your customers find you?
What about social media? Do you know how to use Facebook and Twitter?
With so many people using social media every day, you know your customers are just a click away. It makes sense to reach out to them and build a relationship.
Most SEO and web services are cost prohibitive for small business (read expensive), as small business owners, we know that this is just out of too many people's reach. Truthfully, many businesses just need a little direction, a little training and the right tools.

Consultant Michele Ohmes answers your Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) questions.
Author's note: Originally I stated that the path of travel must have a 48-inch wide path for the actual pedestrian access route (PAR) for public sidewalks and facility sidewalks. I was wrong. Facility sidewalks can still be 36 inches wide for the pedestrian access route. The Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines are still not in affect for the 48-inch wide PAR. It was published July 26, 2011 and public comments are welcomed. For more on this issue, see my post from Aug. 3.
Q: Is it true that the standards have finally been updated?
On July 23, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder signed the first major update since the Americans with Disabilities Act became law in 1991.
The new standards take effect March 15, 2011.
However, under the "safe harbor" allowance, facilities built or altered according to the original standards don't have to comply until they undergo a planned alteration.
Other important changes:
The revisions amend Title II regulation, 28 C.F.R. Part 35, and Title III regulation, 28 C.F.R. Part 36.
Appendix A to each regulation includes a section-by-section analysis of the rule, and responses to public comments on the proposed rule.
Appendix B to the Title III regulation discusses major changes in the Standards for Accessible Design and responds to public comments received on the proposed rules.
The department's Final Regulatory Impact Analysis detailing financial impacts on those who must comply with the new regulations will be posted on www.ada.gov as soon as it is available.
You'll also find fact sheets summarizing:
My advice: start complying now. It's a best practice that will lead you to a better access for all.
- Michele S. Ohmes (firstname.lastname@example.com) is an ADA specialist who works with public works departments, facility managers, and contractors. Her design manual, ADA and Accessibility: Let's Get Practical, is available on CD-ROM through the American Public Works Association's Web site.

Four Iraqis were killed and several more were wounded in a series of bomb attacks against Christian churches in Baghdad over the weekend.
The latest round of attacks -- six bombs within 24 hours -- highlights the ongoing dangers Iraqi Christians face in the predominantly Muslim country.
Click here for CBN News' previous coverage of the dangers facing Christians in Iraq.
Click here to learn how Iraqi Christians are coping in the war-ravaged nation.
Click the player to see footage of the aftermath of Sunday's bombing.
On Saturday night, two bombs were detonated at St. Joseph's Church located in western Baghdad causing damage, but no reported injuries.
Three car bombs also exploded near an eastern Baghdad church Sunday afternoon, killing four people and injuring 21.
The car bombs exploded in 15-minute intervals, as church members arrived for Sunday evening mass.
One Christian Iraqi, who witnessed the Sunday explosions, said he is concerned that increased sectarian violence is driving even more Christians from the country.
"(If this continues) there will be no Christians left in Iraq," Sabhan George said.
Many Iraqi Christians in Baghdad and the northern city of Mosul have fled the country as Islamic extremists terrorize citizens with violent attacks. There are an estimated 750,000 believers in Iraq's Christian community.
"The terrorists are determined to hamper the political process in Iraq and not let Iraqis live in peace even after the withdrawal of foreign forces from the cities," Christian lawmaker Younadem Kana told reporters after Sunday's attacks.
"We demand that the Iraqi government take all necessary measures to protect Christians in Baghdad, and in all of Iraq," he added.
Violence in Iraq has diminished since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. The U.S. military completed a withdrawal of combat forces from Iraqi cities to outlying bases in late June as part of a plan to let Iraq lead its own security forces.
However, terrorists continue to push sectarian tension with lethal attacks on the Christian community.
The weekend assaults came after the Iraqi military predicted that insurgent attacks could continue for a few years, raising the possibility of more violence after the scheduled withdrawal of all U.S. troops by the end of 2011.

Just wondering if my answers of the following 2 part question are correct. If not i would much appreciate a layman explanation, where i stuffed up.
Find lim sup $A_n$ and lim inf $A_n$ of the following sequence of sets:
$$A_n = \begin{cases} x &0 \le x < 1 &\text{if n is odd} \\ x &1 \le x \le 2 &\text{if n is even} \end{cases}$$
Answer Attempt lim sup $A_n = \{0, 2\}$ and lim inf $A_n = \emptyset$
$$E_n = \begin{cases} x &-n \le x \le 0 &\text{if n is odd} \\ x &\frac{1}{n} \le x \le n &\text{if n is even} \end{cases}$$
Answer Attempt lim sup $A_n = \{-\infty, 0\} \cup \{1/2, \infty\}$ and lim inf $A_n = \emptyset$
I am skeptical if i am doing this right as both of my lim inf were null sets. One would imagine out of only 2 exercises on lim sup and lim inf of sets at the end of the chapter one would have been different.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Definitions from the book. For a sequence of subsets $A_n$ of a set $X$, the $\limsup A_n= \cap_{N=1}^\infty ( \cup_{n\ge N} A_n )$ and $\liminf A_n = \cup_{N=1}^\infty (\cap_{n \ge N} A_n)$.

Pete Walker Movies and Career Information
Nov 30, -0001
Actor, Director, Producer and Writer
Pete Walker is an English film director, writer and producer, specialising in horror and sexploitation films, frequently combining the two. His films include Die Screaming, Marianne, The Flesh and Blood Show, House of Whipcord, Frightmare, House of Mortal Sin, Schizo, The Comeback, and House of the Long Shadows. His films often featured sadistic authority figures, such as priests or judges, punishing anyone - usually young women - who doesn't conform to their strict personal moral codes, but he has denied there being any political subtext to his films. Because of the speed with which he had to make his films, Walker often used the same reliable actors, including Andrew Sachs and Sheila Keith, the latter playing memorable villainesses in four of Walker's pictures. Malcolm McLaren hired Walker to direct a documentary on The Sex Pistols entitled A Star Is Dead. Walker was an unlikely choice of director for this project and the deal fell through when the band split up. Walker's work was reviled and condemned by some contemporary critics, while others were surprised to find relatively sophisticated subtexts in what were made and marketed as commercial exploitation films.

Obama To Nominate Three Keynesians to Federal Reserve Board
- Econophile's blog
- Printer-friendly version
- Apr 29, 2010 3:45 PM
- 58
Actually I doubt any of them are real Keynsians. The economist Minsky actually wrote a great a Critique of Keynsian Economics:
He argued that Keynes actually did very little to shape the interpretation of his general theory after the Second World War and that he actually disagreed with some of the things attributed to him. Minsky also writes a great critique of Keynes theory.
One of the issues that Minsky had with "Keynsianism" was that it was assumed inflation was homogenous to degree 0. Having neither a PhD in mathematics of economics but a lowly bachelor's degree in economics I assume what he was saying is that inflation would spread out even over the economy,instead as we know inflation hits some sectors like real estate and now stocks much harder than others.
Unlike the Keynsians/Neo Classicalists who believed that a economy returns to equibilibrium after a monetary stimulus Minsky believed that economy could operate at a level that was "lower" than it's natural level and would not neccesarily return to equilibrium.
He also criticised Keynisianism because it was assumed that income distribution/consumption were stable. In real life the rich can have huge fluctuations income. Also the rich represent a large slice of the economy far beyond their numbers. Therefore the income and production functions in Keynsian theory could vary far more than the Keynsians have led us to believe.
Minsky also criticises monetary demand and supply assumptions in Keynsian theory where it's assumed that the demand for money is an endogenous variable and the supply of money is exogenous. Of course in real life money supply can influence money demand.
Unfortunately I only got halfway through the book its a great albeit somewhat esoteric and abstract read.
Of course Minsky's crowning achievement is his Financial Instability Hypothesis
This is where the credit system collapses in one massive ponzi scheme. He had a wonderful word for financial units in this system he called the "Ponzi Finance Units".

Coming soon to a theater near you; the bigger and better: "Son Of Stimulus".
The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money
By John Maynard Keynes
Nevertheless the theory of output as a whole, which is what the following book purports to provide, is much more easily adapted to the conditions of a totalitarian state, than is the theory of the production and distribution of a given output produced under conditions of free competition and a large measure of laissez-faire. The theory of the psychologi-cal laws relating consumption and saving, the influence of loan expenditure on prices and real wages, the part played by the rate of interest,these remain as necessary ingredients in our scheme of thought.
not to defend Keynesianism but this political team of butt-wipes can't even get that right. I think its called ripping off the poor and the middle class-ism.
Will the war be over before my 14 y/o son is draft age?
Like it or not, Obama is being consistent. That's why the jackass wing is dominating the elephant wing. But they are both wings of the same bird of prey. These latest Fed appointees are erudite eunuchs who will not rock the boat. They can be ignored. Follow the money. The primary focus should not even be on the Fed sock puppet-in-chief, Bermonkey (Ben Bermonkey) but rather on the owners of the New York Fed, whose collective hand is rammed up to his larynx. One would think that the owners of America would be the last ones to bring the sucker down. Hence the cognitive dissonance.
Greenspan made all the right noises before he was appointed chairman of the Fed. Look how well that turned out.
Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?
Oh, wait...
Sometimes I think that John Maynard Keynes was created by the big banks because only Wall Street, Main Street and anyone else crooked would actually admire Keynesian Theory.
The latest finance reform is a clear case of Keynesianism and is loved by firms like Goldman Sachs and other investment giant that is in the Obama administration and the Senate.
Mises was a Jew. Not to forget Rothbard. Get paranoid on someone else's post.
Thanks for your answer.
The subject of your post is the appointment of three Federal Reserve officials, an extremely critical subject. If comment about why they were appointed, all aspects of their qualifications, and to whom they will answer is paranoia, then it's my opinion that paranoia needs to be a part of the discussion. I am a student of Mises and I have personally met Rothbard and I believe I have all of his books as I do Hayek's, which, in my opinion, is not related to this discussion.
I agree this should have nothing about religion in it. I just don't like folks bringing up Jews, the Trilateral Commission, or whatever. We have enough problems based on people with the wrong economic ideas.
Hey, I met Mises. He was an atheist as I recall. Maybe agnostic. Read Hulsman's Mises bio about what Jews did in Vienna when they let them in the city. A flowering of ideas and wealth.
P.S. Did you see my reading list at the Daily Capitalist? It's new and you will recognize many of the books.
I agree this should have nothing about religion in it. I just don't like folks bringing up Jews, the Trilateral Commission, or whatever. We have enough problems based on people with the wrong economic ideas.
Not to be obnoxious about it, Econophile - I like you, and your contrarian ideas - but most economics is bull****, so enough with the Keynesian paranoia. You are beginning to sound like the nice people on this thread who are ranting about this or that religion, or the Trilateral Commission, or the Bilderberg, or whatever. Only your favourite target is Keynesian economics.
I agree with you on the fact that Keynesian policies, in the mess we are in, is like fighting today's war with the weapons of the last. In fact, I am even ready to say that Ben Bernanke is very, very mistaken to use QE to fight this depression. But I am sick and tired to see poor old Lord Keynes, who said quite a lot of things that were very intelligent, and are still relevant today, dragged into the mud every single day, and in almost every single one of your (otherwise interesting) articles. I will even go as far as saying that Lord Keynes probably had a lot more brilliant ideas and insights that Mises or the entire Austrian School put together.
On the other hand, I would also argue that most monetarist and "Austrian" economics is nothing more than a big steaming pile of manure, and that we are in the mess we are in, precisely because of the totally nuts ideas of the these economic schools. I will further add that thinking "Austrian" economics would instantly solve every problem we are in today is magical thinking, probably as stupid as people (Krugman comes to mind) who think that Governement spending money they don't have -- like drunken sailors in a Patpong whorehouse -- will instantly solve everything that is wrong with the world today.
"Free market" is, much too often, just an excuse for the rich and the well-connected to steal everything from the poors and the middle class (whatever that last category may be). "Government intervention" is, by the way, is, much too often, exactly the same. And I'll repeat myself: 90-95% of economics is just bull****, and, much too often, just an excuse for the rich and the well-connected to steal everything from the poors and the middle class.
Replace "rich" and "well-connected" by "Goldman Sachs" and "J.P. Morgan" if need be, but you get my drift. To borrow a nice turn of phrase from Leonard Cohen:
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
There, I feel better now. Feel free to ignore me.
I won't ignore you. I find paranoia interesting. You might want to read a bit about free market economics first.
Econophile: I ask one simple question: as a group do Jewish Americans act purely in the inetrest of the country or more for their own group? If the answer is more for their own group (who represent half or more of the leaders in U.S. finance and the Fed) then their group affiliation is very relevant, whether or not you, or even me, personally wish to discuss it openly. If it offends you, maybe you shouldn't write about finance in the U.S., because it's hard to ignore without at least tangentially touching upon it. Are people really so politically conditioned that talking about an elephant in a room is so tough for them?
I think of people as individuals. When we start thinking about them as "groups" that's when things tend to fall apart. Also, I think the better argument is that 99% of people in power are Keynesians.
Econophile: I ask one simple question: as a group do Jewish Americans act purely in the inetrest of the country or more for their own group?
And I ask you a simple question: are you totally nuts, or simply completely paranoid?
Screw you; when you don't like a question, especially one that was asked of someone else, I would suggest ignoring it.
If David Rockefeller says it matters not which gods people worship, it matter not.
The critical decisions that the Federal Reserve makes on major policy and interest rates, released through the FOMC, are all dictated by the owners of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Only minor differences of opinion are allowed from the governors of the Board, therefore, acquiescence is expected. How better than to pack the Board with those who will say or do anything Bernanke requires of them.
As is becoming public knowledge, the dominance of the Fed policy over the American economy, from wages to which businesses will be funded, is coming from these big bank owners who also control major functions of the rest of the executive branch of the government, not to mention their controlling influence over the Congress.
So here is my question and I don't suggest it lightly. How are these prime movers of our government going to handle the rising criticism that almost all financial officials are now Jewish? The charges will come, the public will become more and more aware of this striking phenomenon. And now with the continuing expansion of Middle East tensions, how can the Obama Administration defend itself from an expected avalanche of bias charges?
The foundation of the problem is the complete lack of transparency on how the Federal Reserve conducts its business, who are selected as winners of financial assistance and windfalls--the banks, the businesses or classes of Americans, the foreign countries... and who are selected as the losers.
When the public gains a greater and greater suspicion that the capital markets are rigged, the public will want to know just who the rigging parties are. And then the charges will come. Charges suggesting an inordinate influence from Israel, suggested in exchanges like this from IAP News October 3, 2001:
An acrimonious argument erupted during the Israeli cabinet weekly
session last week between Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and
his foreign Minister Shimon Peres during which Sharon reportedly
yelled at Peres, saying "don't worry about American pressure, we
control America."
According to Israel radio (in hebrew) Kol Yisrael, Peres warned
Sharon Wednesday that refusing to heed incessant American
requests for a cease-fire with the Palestinians would endanger
Israeli interests and "turn the US against us."
At this point, a furious Sharon reportedly turned toward Peres,
saying "every time we do something you tell me Americans will do
this and will do that. I want to tell you something very clear,
don't worry about American pressure on Israel, we, the Jewish
people control America, and the Americans know it."
You are touching on a subject that's taboo in the US but common knowledge in the rest of the world. Many Jews practically flaunt their newly acquired power, in the face of Europeans and Asians.
Ariel Sharon was merely stating a fact. He knew it before the rest of us of course.
In any case it is now an open secret, except in America.
Nothing like a little economic stress to bring out the anti-semites. You gotta be kidding, right? Israel controls America? What a joke. About the same level of sophistication as the global jewish financial conspiracy.
We are in this mess as a result of our own lack of discipline and political courage. It has taken 40 years to come to this point through the cupidity of America's own political class. Ain't nobody else to blame.
"You gotta be kidding, right? Israel controls America? What a joke."
Ok, but if its a joke, why did Ariel Sharon say it? Is Ariel Sharon an anti-semite?
Are identical words if spoken by one ethnic origin innocent, but if spoken, or even quoted by another guilty and hateful?
It would appear that the offense of the words is determined not by the words themselves buy rather by the ethnicity or race of the speaker.
We are well down a very slippery slope.
Excellent, but I have my doubts as to the awakening of the lethargic masses.
Hah! I read it as Kenyan at first, and had basically the same reaction as when I realized it was Keynesian....dear lord.
And not a Gentile among them.
The zionists are in total control of the government. From top to bottom, inside out.
If they were really in control of the government, they would never let a guy with a Muslim father and the middle name of Hussein get the top job. Does not compute.
I never realized gangsters cared what color or religion a member of the gang was...only that you were one of them and would share in the heist should they become separated in the getaway...LOL.
My sense is...the longer we stay at each others throats bickering about who had guard duty the night of the robbery, the further the gang get's away from the scene of the crime.
Just sayin folks.
If you think theBamster is anything more more than a lump of coal, and a jewish puppet I have some oil in Mississippi I'd like to sell you.
A jew can't win the White House, yet, as Lieberman so amply demonstrated in the latest bid. The POTUS has no power on his own. Without the men and wimmin behind his throne and those are the good folk at Goldamn Sucks, Hollywood, and AIPAC, he is toothless and as weak as a new born babe.
"All of the nominees are Keynesian economists" This is a surprise??
Isn't anyone an Austrian anymore?
Obama, Geithner and Bernanke, along with Paulson (and less so, Bush) are destroying this country. Fiscal situation is catastrophic, and I never would have believed they would permit the destruction of the currency, and the stoking of hyper-inflation.
Lesson I have learned: ZIRP plus fiscal disaster -> risk-free money for non-lending banks -> recovery. Counter to every instinct and lesson I have been taught.
But so true.
Blaise Pascal, Mathematician, Philosopher, Gambler
Just thinking out of the box here, but perhaps it is all on purpose. Suppose we are in a grand cycle, and in this cycle we have amassed the most gold, biggest army, large agricultural base, intellectual base etc... Just hit the reset on all fiat paper, does any of what I listed change? Are there any viable challengers who would survive in any better shape? Probably not. So why not party hardy while the booze is still flowing?
Remember I was just thinking outside the box...
"most gold" supposedly
"biggest army" empire's a bitch
"large agricultural base" god bless GMO
"intellectual base" you sure bout that?
"etc... " like those secret confiscated tesla patents?
I thinking about the same thing. When TSHTF, America is in a better position than most, but; remember, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. I imagine that most third world countries will hardly be effected.
There's no doubt it is all intentional. The challenging question is, to what end? And once you start down that road, it's almost inevitable to a conspiracy theory.
And that is just too mind-boggling, even for Blaise.
Blaise Pascal.
I love reading the evolutions of comments that has taken place over the last year, it's like the 12 stages of grief. I think most of us have reached acceptance that we are being systematically fucked by the powers that be. So, my question is how to we adapt and prosper in such a world?
how to adapt
Why adapt? That seems already like a resignation, or forgone conclusion.
There is the option of armed protest, like those good folks from Georgia yesterday who were too careless.
glad i have physical gold and silver. we're sunk.
Who gives a fuck what the names of the puppets/slaves are?

"Keynesian Economics" is a contradiction in terms, as was "Marxist Economics", and serves exactly the same purpose as the latter --- not as an actual intellectual framework or theory, but merely a glorified and elaborate, but cynical and self-serving justification for plunder of the citizens' wealth and savings by national governments and central banks. It is functionally nothing more than the power elite's ritualistic liturgy serving their religion of theft, fraud and domination.

As a responsible credit card account holder, it is ultimately your duty to make purchases and money decisions in the best interest of your personal financial situation. There are many tips for what you should do to maintain good credit, including making on-time payments, paying off balances in full, and checking your monthly statements for accuracy.
There are also some things you should not do in order to keep a good credit rating and remain a savvy card holder. One of the simplest and most costly mistakes that people make is maxing out their credit cards or using the entire amount of the card limit at any one time. Being maxed out on your credit means you no longer have any more credit to use on that card. You should also expect your credit score to be negatively effected as well. All in all, maxing out a credit card is simply never a good idea.
Being maxed out on your credit cards can also lead you to the edge of Lake Debt, where you are likely to go over the edge and start drowning in debt. So what can you do to avoid going over the limit on your credit cards? Here are some tips to keep your credit card balances in line and your payments up to date:
Leave The Credit Cards At Home
Whenever you go shopping for groceries or other items, financially conscious consumers know that the best trick to save money is to bring a list and stick to it. In line with that, you also need to leave your credit cards safe at home and out of reach of your impulsive buying fingers. It can be all too easy to splurge on items that you do not need nor can you afford, simply because you have a credit card in your wallet.
Rely On Cash
Instead of falling victim to the ease of our swipe society, start budgeting out the cash you need on hand for daily living expenses. This will also make it super easy to reconcile your bank statements.
Think About Emergencies Only
When you carry a credit card, try putting that knowledge out of your head and think of your credit card only in terms of emergencies, such as your car breaking down or your home needs emergency repairs.
Put Cash Back in the Pot
Whenever you use your credit card to make a purchase, take the cash equivalent of that purchase and place it in an envelope in a secure place. When the time comes to pay off your monthly balance, you will have all the cash to do just that and never worry about overextending your credit.
Pay Attention to Your Monthly Statements
Always make sure you pay attention to the bills and statements that come in the mail each month. By monitoring your statements, you will be able to spot fraudulent activities quickly and report them. It will also help you recognize what you are spending money on each month and may help your create a better budget. Additionally, by looking carefully at your statements each month, you will always know exactly how much you owe and when it is due, so you are always sure to make on time payments each month.
Maxing out your credit cards is a sign that your financial house may not be in order. If you go over your spending limit, expect to see penalties and fees only make the situation worse. Your credit card debt will certainly mount faster than you can pay it off and that is not the situation you want to get into with your credit.

This is a discussion on Ranking Member Judiciary Statement on AWB: within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Grassley Executive Committee Statement on the Assault Weapons Ban Prepared Statement of Ranking Member Chuck Grassley Senate Judiciary Committee Executive Business Meeting Assault Weapons Ban, ...
I just spoke to his office in Cedar Rapids and asked that he also oppose UBCs... he made no firm statements about that proposed law in articles I have posted here. But, it looks like the AWB will not make it to the floor, at least.Grassley Executive Committee Statement on the Assault Weapons Ban
Prepared Statement of Ranking Member Chuck Grassley
Senate Judiciary Committee
Executive Business Meeting
Assault Weapons Ban, S. 150
Mr. Chairman, I appreciate Senator Feinsteins sincerity in pursuing the assault weapons ban. This has been an important issue for her for 20 years.
I feel for the victims of Newtown. I know that it was difficult for Mr. Heslin to testify.
But there are other parents of children who were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School who mourn the loss of their loved ones no less, yet feel very differently about the ways Congress should respond.
On Tuesday, I spoke with Mr. Mark Mattioli. His son, James, was one of the victims at Newtown. Even in his grief, he sent me a letter that he authorized me to seek consent to place in the record and to quote during our debate.
Mr. Mattioli describes how no one should have to endure what he has endured. And no one should. He wrote, I can understand where knee-jerk reactions come from, to ensure never again. I caution that we employ common-sense, and do not hand over any liberty which is protected by the United States constitution.
I agree.
We continue to wait for the Justice Departments constitutional analysis of the bill. Despite statements by Department of Justice witnesses at two hearings on this matter, I have yet to see an opinion from the Department arguing that this bill is constitutional.
I appreciate the input of other scholars who have offered their opinions as witnesses, but the Justice Department has, or should have, a different role in providing us with a constitutional analysis.
Mr. Mattioli says that the debate should not be about controlling guns, but controlling people who cannot control themselves, like people with mental illness and felons. He favors making sure people can find their moral compass and parents who will raise their children to know right from wrong and not expose them to heavy violence.
I agree with Mr. Mattioli on this point.
Then he writes, For those who tell me that my son and twenty-five others were killed that day with an assault weapon, I challenge them to consider other more important factors. He says that assault weapons are not the threat to our safety, and he is very focused on improving mental health services.
Mr. Mattioli also opposes the limit on magazine capacities.
He asks, [W]ith 250-million guns in the United States, how are you going to make me safer by reducing new magazines to 1, 5, or 10 rounds? You will not increase my safety, only obstruct me from protecting myself from a criminal who may possess one of the existing guns out there.
Mr. Mattioli has great courage to have survived his terrible ordeal and to make the statements he has made. I think he speaks with great understanding of how to address mass shootings. His words, difficult to write, Im sure, are an important viewpoint we should consider.
This is especially true given the constitutional concerns about this legislation that arise in light of the Supreme Courts decision in Heller. I continue to believe this legislation is fatally flawed under the Supreme Courts Second Amendment cases.
Given those flaws, I must oppose this legislation.
It could be worse!
I suppose

Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West recently married on May 24,2014, but according to Radar Online, the couple have spent less than two weeks together. Out of 43 days, Kim and Kanye have been together only nine nights. Is their marriage in trouble already?
Friction started brewing when the couple went on their honeymoon in Ireland. They checked into the Castle Oliver complex in Limerick. However, the couples stay lasted until dinner was over before they had they packed their bags. their reason for leaving was because the castle was "too big" and they didn't have adequate cell phone service. Kanye and Kim reversed the deposit charges on their American Express card and left owing the hotel $20,000. They checked in at the Ballyfin House in Co Laois.
A source said, "Kim complained and sulked the entire time they were in Ireland on their honeymoon. She didn't like the cooler damp climate, and the lack of high-end designer stores. Kanye tried to arrange tours of local museums, but she wanted nothing to do with it. Only Kim would go to Ireland and be bored, and go to two separate movies in the same day in a foreign country!"
At Kim's demand or request, they went on a second honeymoon. This time, they went to Kim's favorite holiday spot, Puta Mita, Mexico and stayed at the luxurious estate belonging to Joe Francis. While Kim lounged around the poolside or went shopping at all the high-end designer stores, Kanye fought boredom.
The source described Kanye as "miserable and brooding." The insider revealed, "Kanye now recognizes that Kim's main interest are shopping and lounging around a pool. It's really concerning to Kanye that Kim doesn't even want to try to experience new things."
The couple lived together for over a year and this is the first time Kanye noticed Kim would rather shop or lounge at poolside than go to a museum? People are speculating on whether this marriage will last as long as the one where Kim married Kris Humphries. Only time will tell how long this marriage can last.
Another sign that the couple's marriage won't last is they put their Bel Air home on the market. After spending millions of dollars in renovations, they have decided to continue living at Kim's mother's place, Kris Jenner.
What are your thoughts. Do you think they will stay married for a long time or not?

RECIPE: Elvis Sandwich
Elvis Presley's birthday cupcake, from
Elvis Presley would have turned 76 years old on Saturday, January 8th.
As has been told many times, his favorite food was a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich.
Try one to see if you and Elvis enjoy the same snack. Here's the recipe, from Are You Hungry Tonight? Elvis' Favorite Recipes.
Enjoy it while listening to your favorite Elvis tunes. Buy a CD of his 30 top hits or download any of the Top 30 MP3.
This is Elvis comfort food. The King enjoyed "peanut butter and 'nanner sandwiches" at all hours of the day and night. Enjoy your sandwich with one of Elvis' favorite beverages: Pepsi Cola, orange and black cherry soda.
1. MASH the banana in a small bowl with the back of a spoon.
2. TOAST the bread lightly.
3. SPREAD the peanut butter on one piece of toast and the mashed banana on the other.
4. FRY the sandwich in melted butter until each side is golden brown. Cut diagonally and serve hot.
As for us: We're celebrating Elvis' birthday with some Fat Elvis cupcakes from Saint Cupcake. Their homage to Elvis, available year-round, is a banana chocolate chip pound cake cupcake topped with a swirl of salty-sweet peanut butter fudge, garnished with a banana chip.
It's now or never: Buy 'em or bake 'em.

Differential phase contrast imaging computed tomography (DPCI-CT) is a novel x-ray inspection method to reconstruct the distribution of refraction index rather than the attenuation coefficient in weakly absorbing samples. In this paper, we propose an iterative reconstruction algorithm for DPCI-CT which benefits from the new compressed sensing theory. We first realize a differential algebraic reconstruction technique (DART) by discretizing the projection process of the differential phase contrast imaging into a linear partial derivative matrix. In this way the compressed sensing reconstruction problem of DPCI reconstruction can be transformed to a resolved problem in the transmission imaging CT. Our algorithm has the potential to reconstruct the refraction index distribution of the sample from highly undersampled projection data. Thus it can significantly reduce the dose and inspection time. The proposed algorithm has been validated by numerical simulations and actual experiments.

Stanford forward Chiney Ogwumike was named one of four finalists for the Naismith Trophy, the Atlanta Tip-Off Club announced Friday morning.
Joining Ogwumike as finalists are Kayla McBride (Notre Dame), Odyssey Sims (Baylor), and Breanna Stewart (Connecticut). The trophy features a public vote component that counts towards 25 percent of the overall voting. The 2014 Naismith Trophy winner will be announced April 7 at the Final Four in Nashville.
Ogwumike has enjoyed a record-breaking 2013-14 season in leading Stanford to a 29-3 record and the program's 14th straight Pac-12 regular-season title. Heading into the NCAA Tournament, Stanford's 27th consecutive appearance, Ogwumike is the only player in the country to rank in the NCAA's top 10 in scoring (26.8 ppg – third), rebounding (12.3 rpg – seventh), field-goal percentage (61.0 – third) and double-doubles (24 – sixth).
Over nine games against Top-25 teams, Ogwumike has averaged 25.0 points and 12.6 rebounds while shooting 59.4 percent from the field, as the Cardinal has gone 8-1. Three of her 14 30-point games during 2013-14 have come against Top-25 squads, and Ogwumike has scored at least 20 points on 27 occasions.
Her performances led to sweeping the Pac-12's Player and Defensive Player of the Year awards for the second straight season, with the defensive honor being her third in a row. Ogwumike was also named to espnW's All-America Team last week, and this season has been named Pac-12 Player of the Week a record nine times.
Ogwumike has etched her name atop numerous Pac-12 and Stanford record lists during this campaign as well. On January 3 she passed former teammate Kayla Pedersen's mark of 1,266 career rebounds to become the Pac-12's all-time leader, and currently has 1,515 for her career. She pulled even with former Stanford great and Wade Trophy winner Candice Wiggins as the conference's top scorer at 2,629 points on March 8 against USC at the Pac-12 Tournament.
Stanford opens NCAA Tournament play Saturday in Ames, Iowa. The second-seeded Cardinal takes on No. 15 seed South Dakota at 3:30 p.m. at Hilton Coliseum.

To better understand the issues that biopharmaceutical companies face when planning for clinical and commercial biologic drug substance manufacturing and supply needs, ORC International conducted interviews with biopharmaceutical executives in North America and Europe who consistently utilize forecasts for drug substance and commercial manufacturing planning for biologics. This research explored the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to forecasting challenges specifically related to biologic drug substance manufacturing.
Pharmaceutical company marketing executives have become more accurate in positioning their new product in the marketplace, profiling prescribers, and understanding and responding to the reimbursement landscape. What is still a quagmire for pharma companies is predicting the actual demand for products and the timing of that demand.
Demand forecasts are often wrong because they are developed to inform manufacturing commitments as many as four to five years before product launch. As contractual relationships with CMOs are driven by forecasts inaccurate forecasts can "result in unfavorable pricing, financial penalties, and inappropriate capacity," according to Jim Miller, President of PharmSource, a pharmaceutical industry contract manufacturing intelligence firm.
The path from molecule to market isn't getting any easier. The costs of drug development over the last five years have continued to rise while sales during the same timeframe have tumbled. This calls for streamlining of today's current drug development process. Read how today's experts think this can be accomplished.
The complexity of today's molecules and the growing majority of new molecule development are calling for a new method of drug production. Biopharma companies of all sizes are looking to vendors to manage development, manufacturing, and capacity needs. The question is: Are they keeping up?
ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. recently announced long-term follow-up data from its pivotal Phase 2 PACE clinical trial of Iclusig (ponatinib), its approved BCR-ABL inhibitor, in heavily pretreated patients with resistant or intolerant chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) or Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL)

According to Kristen Odland of the Calgary Herald on Sunday, Calgary Flames general manager Brian Burke will try to trade defenseman Shane O'Brien before the National Hockey League trade deadline on March 5.
O'Brien was demoted on Sunday to the Abbotsford Heat of the American Hockey League after notching only three assists in 45 games for the Flames this season. However, O'Brien was acquired by Calgary from the Colorado Avalanche with David Jones for Alex Tanguay and Cory Sarich for his toughness and not for his offensive skills. He did have 58 penalty minutes this year.
Still, one needs to wonder why a club would attempt to pick up O'Brien via trade when they could have had him through the waiver wire this past weekend (before he got sent down to Abbotsford) for absolutely nothing.
If Burke gets anything for O'Brien at this stage of the game, it benefits the Flames.
Calgary meanwhile will try to win their third straight game tonight when they host the Chicago Blackhawks at the Scotiabank Saddledome. Puck drop is 7:30 p.m.

Billy "The Kid" McDonnen and Henry "Razor" Sharp, two local Pittsburgh fighters whose fierce rivalry put them in the national spotlight.

But they may not have to wait that long: on their first encounter in decades, their long-festering feud erupts into an unintentionally hilarious melee that instantly goes viral. The sudden social media frenzy transforms their local grudge match into a must-see HBO event. Now, if they can just survive the training, they may actually live to fight again.
