The Pipeline Report 2013: Late-Stage Standouts
The Pipeline Report 2013: Late-Stage Standouts
Spotlighting 196 agents, with profiles on 15 advances vying to be better, safer or cheaper than standard of care. Marc Iskowitz reports
Despite hand-wringing over the decrease in R&D productivity relative to the 1990s, it continues to be a fruitful period for pharma and biotech organizations. The concern nowadays is that a lot of the new, interesting products that get a regulatory OK don't find a very large market.
"Attention in the industry seems to have shifted from, 'Will we get this approved?' to 'How do we create a successful drug if we get it approved? How do we maximize its revenue potential?'" notes Dr. Ben Weintraub, director of research at inThought Research, part of Symphony Health Solutions.
The writing is on the wall in cardiovascular disease, where the various ACE and ARB inhibitors have had a hard time competing, and in diabetes, where newer DPP-IV products have struggled to gain sales. Now, says Weintraub, case studies of somewhat lackluster performers are piling up in multiple sclerosis (See: Novartis' Gilenya) and in rheumatoid arthritis (See: J&J's Simponi and UCB's Cimzia).
The answer to ever more skeptical physicians, patients and payers? "When gearing up to go into competitive markets, companies must design trials to show which specific subsets of patients will benefit," Weintraub says.
They must also prove superior to standard of care. Even in hepatitis C therapy, where Merck's Victrelis and Vertex's Incivek boosted the response rate of injectable interferon from 40% to almost 80%, their sales are giving way as the field looks to Abbott's and Gilead's late-stage hep. C hopefuls, which promise to boost cure rates even further, while giving patients, for the first time, an FDA-sanctioned, all-oral regimen that doesn't require interferon.
In cancer, companies have gotten a lot better at finding the right niche for drugs. Take Roche's Herceptin, a mainstay of therapy for HER2+ breast cancer for over a decade. Now T-DM1, awaiting FDA approval, has the goal of "building a better Herceptin," says Kantar Health analyst Dr. Stephanie Hawthorne. Similarly, Bristol-Myers Squibb's Phase III agent BMS-936558 is an immuno-therapy like melanoma drug Yervoy, with seemingly better tolerability.
Both cancer contenders are profiled here, plus potential first-in-class products, ranging from Merck's anacetrapib and BMS/AstraZeneca's dapagliflozin—inhibitors of CETP and SGLT2, respectively, for treating atherosclerosis and diabetes—to AZ/Rigel's fostamatinib and Merck's odanacatib, blockers of SYK and CatK enzymes, respectively, for RA and osteoporosis. You'll also read about a biosimilar in development that could become a cheaper TNF inhibitor than Merck's Remicade, scheduled to go off patent in the US in 2015.
In addition to the cardiovascular, infectious disease, metabolic, rheumatology and oncology sectors, this report highlights neurology and orphan therapies, including Eli Lilly's solanezumab for Alzheimer's disease and Biogen Idec's long-acting clotting factors for hemophilia, as well as outlining late-stage agents in the respiratory and women's health areas, plus some in mid-stage, too.
Consistent with our methodology the last several years, profiled agents are based on consultation with inThought, Adis R&D Insight, GfK HealthCare and various other experts. Original analysis is updated to reflect the latest data sets (as of press time), and is complemented by revenue forecasts, lists of other key products and, where available, the estimated month of approval, plus a quick way to gauge the likelihood of an FDA OK called the inThought Approvability Index (anything above 50% stands a good chance).

Harken, O ye tech businesses! You say qualified workers are hard to find? Make them.
I recently had the pleasure of talking with Carlos Contreras, Intel's Education Director. Most of us are aware of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. But you may not be familiar with all the other educational programs sponsored by Intel, with the goal of making America's youth STEM-strong.
Intel closely follows educational reports about how American students are doing in the STEM subjects, and generally we aren't doing well. Carlos shared a report by NAEP by me as way of illustration. He explained: "This latest one had a twist in that it measured how well kids did in science depending on the type of task that they were given. They were given two different types of tasks. One was very simple: collect information, measure something and then compare it to the standard- a very easy yes/no, straight-forward question. And kids did very well. If you look back from when we went to school, it hasn't changed much. It's "cookbook" science, not a lot of thinking going on, not a lot of creativity. Kids did very well on that.
"On the other task, it was complex. The kids had to make trade-offs, they had to put two things that were not necessarily linked together. It added a level of complexity. We talk about learning and doing science, and when we talk about that stuff it's not about a "cookbook", it's about the "why" question. This test underscored this difference [that kids did not do well at creative, complex science tasks.]"
The students at the high level Intel competitions do display creative, complex science. How can parents help their own children achieve this level? Carlos has talked first hand with many of the kids at these competitions and he spoke about passion: "Passion is something you have to find on your own. You have to explore different things until you find a particular topic you want to get into. If you don't have time or don't get exposed to that stuff, the passion never grows.

The Rise and Fall of Yik Yak, the Anonymous Messaging App
May 27, 2017
More than 50 million people from industrialized nations travel to developing countries each year. Such trips can pose significant health hazards. Travelers who plan to visit developing or tropical countries, as well as those embarking on prolonged vacations or arduous treks should take a number of precautions.
A visit to the doctor is very important in preparing for travel to a developing nation. Since many doctors may find it hard to keep abreast of medical trends in foreign countries, a local travel clinic may be especially helpful. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintains a Traveler's Health web site ( overseas. Individual supplementary health insurance policies should cost no more than a few dollars a day for international travelers. Air ambulance insurance is also a wise investment that can be purchased through travel agencies before leaving the U.S. Additionally, you may want to take along the phone number and address of the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your destination country, in case you need the name of a doctor to contact after you arrive. While abroad, you can obtain the location of your nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate by calling 00 1 202-501-4444.
If you develop any symptoms of illness upon your return to the United States, be sure to contact your doctor immediately. Let your doctor know where you have been, in addition to what symptoms you are experiencing.

The feminist movement was a potent element in the unstable social and political climate that defined American culture during the 1960s and 1970s. Under the slogan "the personal is political," women challenged the many assumptions about gender roles and sexuality that had limited their options at nearly every turn. Control over their lives was at stake, and the female body became the battleground for the struggle. For artists like Lynn Hershman, the body also was fertile territory for new artistic practices that explored voyeurism, role-playing, identity, and social interaction. Her performances, films, videos, and installations address these issues through an exploration of narrative structure and the politics of viewing. Together her works offer one woman's view of what it means to be female in contemporary American society.
Since the early 1970s, Hershman has been based in San Francisco, where her first fully realized projects took place. In The Dante Hotel (1972–1973), she rented a room—Number 47—in a cheap, run-down North Beach establishment. There she installed a vignette around life-size wax sculptures of two women locked in an embrace—an imagined re-creation of what might have happened in the room, which had been home to a lesbian couple.1 Hershman emphasized the overlap of art and life (and made viewers into voyeurs) by requiring her audience to visit the hotel, sign in at the desk, and obtain a room key in order to see the work.
The artist has said that the connection between The Dante Hotel and her next major work, Roberta Breitmore (1974–1978), was an organic one. "It seemed important to liberate the essence of the person who might have lived in room 47 … to flesh out experience through real life."2 So she created Roberta, a fictional character whose life she lived/performed intermittently over a period of several years. Roberta had an apartment, a checking account, and a driver's license; she attended Weight Watchers, saw a psychiatrist, had sexual adventures (and misadventures), and kept a diary. Roberta was both real and artificial; she was and was not Hershman. In her utter ordinariness, she also represented Everywoman, who "witnessed, reflected, and documented the resonant nuances of her culture's alienation."3
In 1994, Hershman issued a work containing an assortment of sixty-four objects and documents related to Roberta Breitmore. She organized the material in thematic sections that elucidate the project's evolution and structure. For example, Roberta's External Transformations includes seven items (her purse, coat, driver's license, dental X-ray, etc.) with the following explanatory note: "Roberta faced the world with a defined image which was distinguished by her makeup and dress." Other sections are titled Adventures, The Double Is One, Anonymous Social Identities, and so on. In Hershman's words, the work "reflects the simulation of a persona in a way the original does not."4 It also, of course, allows the project to have a life beyond its original real-time context.
For details on this and other projects, see Lynn Hershman (Herimoncourt, France: Centre International de Création Vidéo, 1992) and Rod Slemmons, ed., Paranoid Mirror: Lynn Hershman, exh. cat. (Seattle: Seattle Art Museum, 1995). ↩

Wizard rock
Redirected from Wizard Rock
this wiki
Wizard rock, also known as wrock (pronounced rock), is a genre of music based on the Harry Potter series started by Harry and the Potters, Joe and Paul DeGeorge of Boston, Massachusetts, in 2002. They were joined by Draco and the Malfoys in 2004, when Harry and the Potters were invited by Matt Maggiacomo, who later became The Whomping Willows, to a house show in Matt's apartment.
On the night of 20 July, the night before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released, Harry and the Potters, Draco and the Malfoys and The Hungarian Horntails gave a free concert at Harvard Square (or Hogwarts Square as they renamed it) for the one night, celebrating, or mourning, the release of the final book in the series.Almost all of these bands can be found at their respective MySpaces, as can the magazine Brown Paper Magazine, whose second issue has an introduction and many interviews with Wrock bands, including Harry and the Potters, The Ministry of Magic, The Remus Lupins, the Harry Potter Alliance, Voldemort, and the semi-fictional band Professor Trelawney and her Crystal Balls. The Podcast of Awesome is a Wizard Rock podcast featuring many different bands, and a Wrock band member has been a co-host in six out of the nine episodes that have been published.
The Harry Potter Alliance
The Harry Potter Alliance is a human rights group spreading their message through Wrock and other ways, who have allied themselves with most Wizard Rock bands, especially Harry and the Potters, and have adopted the line from the song "The Weapon," 'The Weapon we have is Love' as their rallying cry. Although not a band, they have given a song called "the Harry Potter Alliance Rap" in the Wizards and Muggles Rock for Social Justice CD, produced by Cheap Rent.

On July 1, 1986, this work was used to carry out athletic training as a major training course in at least 10 colleges and educational institutions, and to only start the development of the most important in a handful of others. In the early growth and development of the major, athletic training was tailored more towards prepping each student for teaching at the second level, emphasizing on health and physical education. The AMA's Committee on Allied Health Schooling and Accreditation (CAHEA) was given the responsibility in 1993 to develop requirements for the programs of entry-level athletic trainers. "A variety of support health services works extremely well including school health companies, nurses, physicians, dentists, podiatric doctors, physician's assistants, physical therapists, strength and training specialists, biomechanists, exercise physiologists, nutritionists, researchers, massage therapists, occupational therapists, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, chiropractors, orthotists, prosthetists, gear personnel, referees, or social workers." "In certain situations, an individual may require treatment through or consultation with a variety of both medical and nonmedical services and personnel aside from the athletic trainer."

Ian Kerner: "One of the causes many athletes abstain from sex the night before is not due to the sex itself, but as a result of everything that happens around the idea: partying, dancing, eating, consuming. "Do you think this may be useful for a ring fighter?" There are no studies nevertheless that can accurately predict the actual psychological effects of a sportsman's pregame sex. But one might assume Wilt and Joe's romantic interludes transpired postgame, not pregame. But hop back in bed: A review of sports and sexual intercourse studies says otherwise!
After all, we've always been told sex drains a man of testosterone, and thus sapping his strength and aggression. Sports athletes may be some of the fittest and firmest folks on our planet and definitely good at sex, but when they're competing, their own focus needs to be on the field of participate in, not on playing the field.

A study from Georgia State University's Department of Psychology facets with Pliny and Rousey, stating that testosterone levels in the two males and females "increased across the nighttime when there was intercourse and diminished when there was none."

After many false starts, the e-book is finally securing its place in our homes. Amazon's Kindle continues to lead the way with the massive support from its own supply of books and now its links with Waterstones. The Sony reader, the IPad, Kobo, Nook and Android are all expanding rapidly. In fact Amazon recently announced its sales of Kindle books have outstripped demand for hardback books.
The e-book is now the medium of choice for many people. It's more portable and versatile and cuts down hugely on luggage space whilst travelling!
The e-book is also widely accepted amongst those who read large numbers of books, making the market more and more attractive to writing solely for electronic distribution. This is understandable, albeit somewhat parochial, as any good marketing plan should embrace as many channels as possible.. Many authors have now given up trying to secure publishing contracts through the traditional publishers and are
As an author you can no longer ignore the e-book revolution. While traditional publishers fight and argue over territorial rights and price fixing issues the market will belong to the forward thinking. Those who are prepared to embrace this new opportunity and not run screaming home to bolt the doors.
With many publishers refusing to issue their books in this format and when they do, hiking the prices to extraordinary levels, the market is wide open for the new writer. The e-book represents a fantastic opportunity for new authors, providing of course they can overcome the obstacles such as controlled distribution and receiving payment for their work.
As part of our standard package we offer a full e-book solution.

I have to tell you, I suffer from FOMO. Yes, I know, but thank goodness it's not contagious.
FOMO: The Fear of Missing Out. Do you have it? Do you check your Facebook page several times a day? Are you afraid that if you don't check it for an ENTIRE weekend, you may have missed out on something? Did someone have a party? You missed it. Did someone have a birthday? You missed it.
The Grammy's were on. Did you miss it? Worried (or hopeful) someone had a wardrobe malfunction? They didn't. I made sure to watch it, so right there, it wouldn't have happened.
I HAD to watch the Oscars last week. Why? Again, what if someone tripped in her beautiful gown and I would have had to hear about it later! (Oh, wait, that did happen; sorry Jennifer, you know you'll never hear the end of it.)
Okay, the Grammy's were over a couple week ago, and I'm finally getting around to writing about them. In a nutshell, I loved it. Some things more than others. Here are a few of my memorable moments:
Taylor Swift? Never understand the costumes that go with her songs. Weird.
Ed Sheeran and Elton John. I loved the duet. I was a bit worried at first, Elton loves being the star of the show, but he was more background and gave Sheeran a chance to shine a bit. (Elton's coat shined enough and I'm guessing it is dry clean only; loved that his glasses matched the color of his shirt.)
What can I say about Mumford & Sons? Album = Swoon.
Justin Timberlake. By the look of my FB friends, they were thrilled to see he's back. (And yes, I was keeping tabs on what my friends had to say on FB during the Grammys and the Academy Awards.) The sepia was a nice touch. Btw, his 20/20 Experience album comes out March 19th; and if you liked the song "Suit & Tie" you can get it NOW from Freegal on our website!
The Bob Marley tribute was excellent as well as the Levon Helm tribute. Mavis Staples was so into it that she kept on singing! Wasn't that great?
Ok, who besides me thinks that Jack White looks like a cross between Johnny Depp as Willie Wonka, and Robert Helpmann as the Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? Again, weird.
Adele: amazing voice. Seriously, who wouldn't want to be able to belt out a song and not look like you've spent any energy? And she looked great! But what was Adele thinking for the Grammys? I would have thought Bob Mackie designed that dress from a dining room rug my grandmother would have had in her dining room instead of the drapes he used for Carol Burnett in "Went With The Wind!" from the "Carol Burnett Show". I've been dying to talk about that dress. I couldn't decide if she looked like a cupcake, wallpaper, or what. Then it hit me, rug.
So, can't wait to get the 2013 Grammys Album? Here are some artists that are available for FREE on Freegal through our library:
Kelly Clarkson Alabama Shakes Carrie Underwood
P!nk Mumford & Sons Jack White
Adele Chris Brown Pitbull
For the Oscars, I'd like to say I was sitting there in my ball gown, with paper and pen in one hand and my ipad in my other, waiting to see if my FB friends and I agree on winners, loser, and obviously, what they are (or aren't) wearing. And I was, just in my jammies.


text: I always hear that a Queen Excluder equals a Honey Excluder. Could someone who believes/knows this to be true give a little more color on the subject? Wouldn't the honey "excluded" from the super end up in the hive body? In other words, do you believe that the total amount of honey in the hive will be the same or less with a queen excluder installed? Or. is the concern that the bees will become honey-bound (with a near-empty super above the excluder) and swarm?

text: Well, cold weather starts about mid Oct here. I have no experience trying to overwinter nucs. I have a few nucs that were started in early July. Most of them have built up to 10 frames and will be overwintered in a single deep. However, some of them have not made it past six frames. Would you take a frame of honey away and overwinter in a five frame nuc box, or try to build them up in the remaining four weeks? I could also combine to fill the deeps. I have a basement that stays at about 45-55 degrees in the winter, and I could screen them in and overwinter in the basement. The problem with that is that I would have to take them outside once in a while to let them use the potty.

My 2000 Dodge Dakota passed the 200,000-mile mark. I have photos on my cell phone, and I tried to upload them, but my computer doesn't recognize the hardware for some reason. I will try to find a way to post the photos soon.In kilometers, that's 322,000! Since I'm not in the market for a new vehicle for at least three years, I plan to save some money to get the engine and transmission rebuilt so I can get another 200,000+ miles out of it. My truck rules.
___"I'd shut [Apple] down and give the money back to the shareholders."-Michael Dell, 1997
Unless it needs it, leave the rebuild off.My '95 Grand Caravan has 211K miles and still going without any rebuilds ever.If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.
vexner:Unless it needs it, leave the rebuild off.My '95 Grand Caravan has 211K miles and still going without any rebuilds ever.If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.I agree, just perform good preventative maintenance. Change oil and filters, change air and gas filters, flush coolants, service transmission fluids and filters, repack wheel bearings, see about having zerts put in the ball joints. Some people around here run Dodge Durangos very a long time.
There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today, and something wrong with our bloody system as well.
Congratulations! Start working on 300,000 right away!A few months ago, I got the video for my car passing the 100,000 mile mark. I started recording but it ended too soon, so I ended up pulling over to the side of the highway to figure out my camera.. that's how important it was to me.

Yeah, don't fix it until you HAVE to fix it. Just do all of the normal routine stuff. The cost that you would spend to rebuild the engine and transmission you could easily find something else that is nicer, newer and has lower mileage on it. Though I know what you are on about. My S10 has hit the 231,000 mile mark on the 2.8L V6 which I never hear good things about. You have no idea how much I want to get a 3.4L, 4.3L or put a V8 in it. But it would cost me so much money, other than the 3.4L that I might as well just get another truck. Cause if I did a new engine, I would also want to do thinks like bushings and suspension as they get just as much wear as the engine, and need to be replaced more often, but they never do.

I made sure my girlfriend was in the car with me when my Daytona odometer rolled over back to zero. And I made sure she took pictures. One of the best days ever.
_________________________________________________________________________Just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't understand.
Which engine does that Dakota have, because if its the 5.2, LEAVE IT ALONE IF NOTHING IS WRONG! For a while, my dads 94 Dakota 2WD was the king of high mileage vehicles(he traded it for a G6 GT convertible). It had 327,000 miles on it when it was traded in and felt it could make 400,000. The only thing to do right now is, like posted before, preventative maintenance, such as belts, hoses, filters, fluids, etc. But, if you haven't already done it, switch the driveline fluids over to full synthetic. I did that several years back and it ran better and returned better FE than with the regular fluids. There are several full synthetic motor oils out there to consider(I used Valvoline MaxLife full syn. 10W-30) but, I would strongly recommend Royal Purple syn. transmission fluid and gear lube. I swear by it for its longevity and it helped me get 18.5 mpg out my dads Dakota(along with K&N filter, Tornado fuel saver, and MSD coil and wires powering Autolite double platinum spark plugs.)Achieving high mileage in any vehicle is a blessing these days, though, I gotta wonder, what is you do for a living that requires putting that many miles on a truck?
--------------------------------Something stinks and it ain't me. E-thugs: always looking for a fight, no matter how meaningless.I drank all of RL's rum.
I have the 3.9L V-6. I still think I probably ought to do a rebuild because within the last 2,000 miles or so, it's been idling a little bit rougher, and a trusted mechanic said that I don't have as much compression in cylinder #6 as I do in the other five. It might be a valve that's not sealing properly anymore. My driving style could best be described as severe, though, which is another reason why I wanted to rebuild it anyway.

Hell: where the police are German, the cooks British, the mechanics French, the lovers Swiss, and it is all organized and run by the Italians.
The 3.9L is based off the 5.2 so your good there. Gotta wonder how low the compression in that cylinder for you to consider a rebuild. If it's more than 80 but less than 90, I suggest getting a can of Restore 6-cylinder formula and adding that in at each oil change. If it doesn't improve by the third oil change, go for the rebuild then. Then again, a rebuild is a perfect excuse to improve the performance of the 3.9 with porting and polishing the heads and intake, honing the block(or boring it .010 out for a full 4.0L of displacement ), and new, lightweight valvetrain components such as new beehive valve springs, titanium retainers and locks, stainless steel valves, and forged pistons. That's what I would do to my truck but I don't have the money for it.

This photo appeared in Sol White's History of Colored Base Ball. It was identified only 1905 Cuban X Giants. The photo was actually taken Sept 29, 1905 at a ballgame in upstate NY. I have a list of the players from the box score and I am looking for help in matching the names to the faces. The line-up was: Pat Patterson LF, Danger Talbert 3B, Bobby Winston CF, Ray Wilson 1B, Frank Grant 2B, Harry Buckner RF, Clarence Williams C, John Hill SS, John Nelson P, Robert Jordon Sub. and E.B. Lamar Mgr/Owner.
Lamar is easy, he's in the suit. Clarence Williams is standing far right, Frank Grant is kneeling far left. John Nelson is kneeling 2nd from the right, and I think Ray Wilson is standing next to Clarence (2nd from left). I would appreciate any help with the match-up, and confirmation of my id's as well.
I'm happy to share some information regarding the game. Bob Mayer (845-528-0726) (email@example.com)

A Key Largo business owner says he is the 14th generation bloodline of Florida's founder Juan Ponce de Leon -- and he has the documents to prove it.
Delio Mir, whose full name is Delio Emmanuel Mir Pupo, travels to Warm Mineral Springs in North Port almost every year to give a speech about his ancestry.
Since the 1940s, the water-filled sink hole has marketed itself as the original Fountain of Youth the Spanish explorer sought 500 years ago, a claim also made by a tourist attraction in St. Augustine, Florida's oldest city.
"It's kind of a joke, maybe he did find [the Fountain of Youth]," said 64-year-old Mir, who added he expects to live at least another 30 years.
Reaching a very old age is common in the Mir family, he said, joking that his family members don't need the latest and greatest prescription pill to forestall aging or sickness.
"We just live long lives," he said.
Ponce de Leon was a world explorer for Spain in the early 16th century, who previously sailed under Christopher Columbus on Columbus' second excursion from Europe. Ponce de Leon made many trips across the Atlantic Ocean to the New World in search of gold and new lands.
Whether or not he used the legendary spring, whose water was said to prevent aging, as an excuse to secure government funding for his travels is disputed among historians.
The state of Florida is celebrating 2013 as the 500th anniversary of the conquistador's landfall here. Like much of America's early history, precise accounts are not available, but historians tend to agree that Ponce de Leon came ashore on the Atlantic coast of Florida. St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra or Melbourne Beach are commonly identified as likely locations.
Sketchier accounts suggest the explorer may have sailed through the Florida Keys or up to southwest Florida.
Several Viva Florida 500 events took place in April around the state, including the unveiling of a bronze statue of Ponce de Leon near St. Augustine.
Mir says he is just one of many 14th generation descendants of the explorer, and he said he shied away from claiming his lineage for many years until his late wife convinced him to do so.
Now, at his Overseas Market 103 antique shop, Mir hangs a banner announcing his celebrity.
"Have you ever met a direct descendant of a famous explorer?" Mir asks those who will listen to his story.
Mir's current wife, Karen, once mentioned to her future husband that she was from a five-generation Florida family. Mir replied that he had a bit of an advantage.
"Well, my family found this state," he said he boasted during their courtship.
Mir provided the Citizen with a folder of papers tracing his ancestry back to the Spanish explorer and shrugs off those who might question his family tree.
"I know who I am, and you can take it to the bank," he said.

The Obama campaign is also slandering donors to the Romney campaign, Web Link
one of Obama's campaign websites posted an item entitled "Behind the curtain: A brief history of Romney's donors." Web Link it describes the donors as 'a group of wealthy individuals with less-than-reputable records. Quite a few have been on the wrong side of the law." but the descriptions accompanying the names do not describe any violations of laws. The WSJ has checked in to these people, and declares, "These are wealthy individuals, to be sure, but private citizens nonetheless. Not one is a criminal.
This is defamatory, I will not be surprised when these donors file a libel suit against the Obama campaign.
I have yet to find any info about any Romney donors who have actually been on the wrong side of the law, nevermind the fact that the men singled out here haven't done anything illegal.
Theodore Olson, the former U.S. solicitor general says, "We don't tolerate presidents or people of high power to do these things. When you have the power of the presidency—the power of the IRS, the INS, the Justice Department, the DEA, the SEC—what you have effectively done is put these guys names up on 'Wanted' posters in government offices."
This is David Axelrod and Chicago politics, and it's not going to get any better, because Obama can't campaign on his record. Bill Clinton, the last Democrat President, popularized the phrase 'politics of personal destruction'. This President is redefining it. Brace yourself.

If you want to know about 2012 Presidential campaign donors on the wrong side of the law, read this from ABC news Web Link
While we are at it, why don't we bring up George Soros Web Link in addition to Soros' past attempts to crash world currencies for profit.Economist Paul Krugman is critical of Soros' effect on financial markets. "[N]obody who has read a business magazine in the last few years can be unaware that these days there really are investors who not only move money in anticipation of a currency crisis, but actually do their best to trigger that crisis for fun and profit.

GASP! George Soros! Not THE George Soros! The George Soros who used the money he earned via free market currency speculation to personally invest in former Soviet-bloc countries to ensure they emerged as capitalistic democracies instead of collapsing into dictatorships? Yeah, that was a selfish act of pure evil!
By the way, I find it weird that you don't know the difference between slander and libel.

Oh for goodness sakes. Nobody is trashing the president. I think he's a nice guy. He's just over his head. He did a bad job of killing bin Laden, and he's rubbing it in to bin Laden's family members by spiking the ball the way he's doing. He ended Ghaddafi's reign of terror in Libya and he got us out of Iraq. But I could have done a better job. He saved the nation's car industry, which is bad, because it should have been left to go belly-up. I think his nat'l health care law, based on mine in Massachusetts, is a joke and should be repealed, along with mine. We need to start sacrificing. Students, quit asking for govt loans at low interest. Borrow from your wealthy parents instaed. And medicare recipients. C'mon for heavens sake! Give up a little. If you were really patriotic you'd realize its your duty to die earlier for the sake of the country.

President Obama rarely brings up Mitt Romney, except for the joke about how Mitt strapped his dog to the top of his car for a road trip.

Everybody who has a basic knowledge of math, history and economics perfectly understand that, as communists did it in Russia, Obama's administration leads America to a socialist's slavery, where almost entire population is equally poor, government is under total control of the very rich, but is in total control of the rest of the country and decides for people what they should do, eat, read, watch and especially think.
Everybody who are capable to use their brains and are able to recognize the difference between truth and politically-correct fairy tails, knows that attempts to get information from political campaign websites and TV news are the same as attempts to get information from newspapers "Pravda" and "Izvestiya" in USSR in 1970s.
These elections have very little to do with amount of money spent or amount of dirty tricks both parties will do to trash their opponents. These elections are about the American choice: freedom and personal responsibility, or government-mandated slavery. If majority of America prefer slavery, nobody, even Founding Fathers, would not be able to change anything.

I don't know who "they" are who could or could not make a better president. What I know that all politicians are always as bad and corrupt as people allow them to be. You can skip this election or vote for the "familiar" evil because the new one doesn't look to be better, or you can vote the current one out and by that send the new one the message that you don't want the government to babysit you and you want a president who understands and respects the constitution of America and the values which made America, America.

The founding fathers wanted and had slavery. Many were slave owners.
a resident of Foothill High School
on May 1, 2012 at 10:20 am
First of all, Founding Fathers, disregarding their personal beliefs about slavery, made a very strong commitment to provide property rights and principals of LIMITED government.
Second of all, the question is not about slaves who were imported from different part of the world for the sake of a cheap labor (isn't it similar to why illegals are here now?); the question is how many of Americans today are ready to give up their freedom and be enslaved by the government for the sake of illusion of security. From what I see here, there are quit a lot of them.
Too pity; when I was a poor jewish girl in USSR, America was a symbol of freedom, now it's becoming a symbol of stupidity.

You're right again, Anna! Without all this government regulation, businesses would be able to get back into slave importing. But golly, instead, it's corporations who are enslaved! What a stupid country we live in!!! We can change it, yes we can! We need to once again be able to declare our slaves as a property right as intended by our Founding Fathers.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

Perhaps you are not a native English speaker and you are misunderstanding what the word slavery means? I doesn't have much to do with "limited government" or "regulation" Again, the founding fathers didn't object to slavery, they practiced it. As a society, we have rejected it.
a resident of Highland Oaks

I don't know about you but I don't feel enslaved. We pay our taxes and are grateful to all the teachers and fireman who are there for our children and us. Personally, I believe that if people didn't complain so much we might have a better system. It's the politicians that muck it up. I don't want anyone who has more money than he knows what to do with and then ties his dogs carrying case to the top of his car for a 20-hour road trip to be in charge. Someone who wants to stop funding to Planned Parenthood has no regard for women. He is out of touch with the rest of the country. Congress abuses their power to make our president look like he has no spine, and if more people paid attention they might realize that congress has gone completely haywire.

At least General Motors is providing jobs in the United States!
Mitt Romney was not a capitalist during his reign at Bain. He was a predatory corporate raider. His firm didn't seek to create value. Instead, like a scavenger, Romney looked for businesses he could pick apart. Indeed, he represented the worst possible kind of predator, operating within the law but well outside the bounds of what most real capitalists consider ethical.
He is exhibit number one the left wants to use in the coming election to give capitalism a bad name.
He and his friends at Bain were bad guys. Any real capitalists should disavow Romney's 'creative destruction' model that made him wealthy at the expense of thousands of American jobs.
Mitt Romney and his cronies pioneered 'deindustrialization,' a process by which they searched out vulnerable companies, took them over, loaded them with debt, and collected obscene fees while doing so. He sent jobs overseas or killed them altogether, and then picked apart the remains - including pension funds - before the companies went bankrupt.

Shut down dealerships, pulled out of NUMMI, which resulted in Toyota shutting down NUMMI altogether. Now GM is going to produce even more cars in China, after shutting down lines all over the US, and increasing production by 100% outside the US. Offshoring jobs, bad when Bain Capital did it, but good when Obama does it.

It's just like Oda to pull out a Chekov's Gun on us like this. Honestly when Doflamingo mentioned "smiles" back then I thought he was referring to the style of Jolly roger he uses. Never would've guessed it meant something like this.
I suppose this means there's going to be an incoming fuck-ton of devil fruit users appearing in the story soon enough. I'm still wondering if their properties differ from natural ones though.

lol, I'm actually unsurprised to see this reaction from you! I've noticed that you have a tendency to rant about Oda's bigger twists. Well, to each their own, of course.
Now me, on the other hand, am actually excited about this. Many people tend to underestimate zoans, but they can be really dangerous when trained properly. Hell, just imagine if everyone in that emperor's army of beastmen were on the level of guys like Lucci or Kaku. Pair that with most of those guys probably being haki users and you have a true force to be reckoned with.....
Actually, I was kinda hoping that Brownie would join Luffy since most of his old crew are probably dead by now....
Also, about Dofla's smile line from the Sabaody arc: I can't really take credit for that, actually. It was someone from AP's spoiler thread who pointed that out first. I just relayed the info here, heh. But I also have to say that I find it highly amusing that "Smiles" are produced through a substance called "SAD".....

That was a fun chapter. A army of devil fruit user was the most logical step. It is the only way to compete against the armies of Kuma bots out there now. Luffy already pissed off one yonkou (Big Mamma) and trying to go after another (I am thinking it is Black Beard), why not add a third (If it is Kaidou) just for shits and giggles.
I am curious of how Luffy and the crew will fair with the Yonkous coming after them. For better or for worse I won't be surprised if Luffy fights with one of the Yonkou early in the New World (Maybe the second or the third Island in the New World). Ace met with Shanks and fought white beard early on in his career. Those were some heavy hitters. Ace was Lucky to have met those two yonkous first. But Luffy is really in the head winds because his only alley is Shanks. His odds of meeting a bad Yonkou first is greater, especially with all the events that have unfolded since his entrance into the new world. If this whole secret Island thing comes on unraveled, it might delay or put a wrench in one of the Yonkou's plans. Also tip off the WG of what one of the Yonkous are doing. This would also put Daflamingo in a pickle. Which will only put Luffy on another Yonkou kill list. Which Yonkou will Luffy fight with first and how early?

I'm pretty sure the only Yonkou we can really rule out is Shanks. It could be any of the other 3 really.
Big Mom is still possible, because even though we've already seen some of her men, the only one we know who has a Devil Fruit is Pekoms and his was a turtle Zoan, so her crew can't be completely ruled out.
We know next to nothing about Kaidou and his crew at the moment, so anything goes there, which is why it's likely most assume this relates to him.
Finally, Blackbeard has been said by Jinbei to be seeking and recruiting powerful devil fruit users into his crew, so he can't really be ruled out either.

Due to the Devil Fruits being unique, there's inheritently a limit of its abunancy.
That limit probably isn't there with these artificial fruits.
Henchmen of Yonkous already tend to be quite fearsome, hundreds of them having Zoans would be a force to be reckoned with.
It's sorta like the pirates' answer to the Pacifista army.
Now that would be a sight to see. Pew Pew Mecha army clashing with Furry Beastmen army.

And with they I mean Ceasar and Vegapunk. (After all it was Vegapunk who started it with the fruit Momonosuke ate)
So having a fruit equals 'beeing a guy who matters in this world'. Now it just becomes kind of normal. It's like the complete OP world is suddenly turned upside down.
Until know, the author more or less avoided the usual Shounen clichee of ever increasing powerlevels, but this seems like a step in this direction.

I wonder if the reason that the fruit types are all zoans is because they can kill animals and capture their "essence" in a fruit in the process. Maybe this is what SAD allows and the factory is where the transfer takes place. Harder to do that with rubber and inanimate objects. Although Vegapunk was able to feed a fruit to a sword. Hmm I wonder if the fruit the sword ate was man-made?
Caribou landed on Kaidou's island. The mountains in the background have finished "building". I wonder what that means for the fate of X Drake and Kaidou's subordinate Scotch.
It looks like the kids have been pacified and that Mocha was saved? That was a bit anti-climactic with Mocha, hopefully there are some more details in the coming chapters.
Did Luffy hit CC twice in the last panel? His left arm is cocked rather than his right.

Zoan Devil Fruits aren't any different than the others, so when the scientists are able to recreate one kind of DF they should also be able to manufacture the others as well. It's only natural to continue the studies until you're able to make all of them.

But maybe the process to create a zoan type fruit is just easier. I mean, when it comes down to it, all zoan fruits work exactly the same. They just have different animals. There's even multiple types of the same animal fruit.
Similar things may be said about Logia fruits. Still, making a person transform into an animal seems less difficult than turning their body into a single type of energy/matter.
Paramecia fruits can be radically different from one another.
Note, that's just my thoughts on it.
