Humanity spends over 500 billion euros on medicines each year, some 1¼ percent of world income. Is this money well spent? Data for answering this question are sparse. While new medicines must pass through elaborate clinical trials before they are allowed on the market, there is very little systematic study of their subsequent use and impact. We don't know to what extent medicine dispensed (i) is actually used, (ii) while it still has its potency, (iii) in accordance with the correct instructions, and (iv) by patients for whom it is indicated and (v) whose condition and circumstances allow them to benefit from it.
Given the magnitude of the expenditure, we ought to learn more. But we know enough to conclude that there are huge inefficiencies in the current system.
These inefficiencies are generally related to how we pay for the introduction of new medicines. Development and especially testing of new medicines is expensive; and invariably such expenditures often fund failures as when a candidate drug's safety and efficacy cannot be demonstrated. Most basic research is done with public monies at universities and governmental institutions. The later stages of development and testing are typically funded by pharmaceutical companies. These firms obtain patents on promising compounds, which secure them a temporary monopoly on the manufacture and sale of any product allowed on the market. During this period of market exclusivity, companies can drastically mark up the price of a medicine, selling it at 10 or even 100 times the average manufacturing cost. At the end of this period, competing generic producers usually make the medicine available at much lower prices.
Predictably, this incentive system creates a lot of unneeded innovation. When one company pioneers a genuinely new kind of medicine, other firms scramble to introduce similar drugs. Having more than one medicine in a therapeutic class can be beneficial as physiological variations among patients affect how well they respond to specific treatments. But this benefit rapidly declines as additional "me-too" drugs are introduced — the twelfth cholesterol-lowering product, for example, adds very little value for patients. But it can add much value to the bottom line of the company introducing it, especially as competition among patented medicines tends not to result in meaningful price reductions.
This leads to four important inefficiencies. First, the incentives for copycat innovations are too strong: too much is spent on developing and introducing me-too drugs that barely improve our pharmaceutical arsenal. Second, the incentives for genuine break-through innovations are too weak: the profits of the first-in-class innovator are predictably decimated as me-too competitors gain market share at its expense. Third, marketing battles among therapeutically similar high-margin drugs are extremely costly and represent a major component of total industry expenditures. Fourth, such marketing often has adverse effects, inappropriately influencing doctors or patients to choose a suboptimal product or one that does not benefit the patient at all.
The current incentive system also sustains three important biases that cause additional inefficiencies. One bias is against medicines likely to come into wide use only after their patent has expired. To prevent the build-up of drug resistance, the medical establishment wisely uses certain advanced treatments only on patients who do not respond to the usual "first-line" regimen. It is extremely important to have such last-resort treatments available (for drug-resistant TB, for instance, which is infectious and does not respond to any of the standard treatments). But the resulting anemic outlook for profits — dependent as they are on sales volume prior to patent expiration — provides only weak incentives for introducing such drugs.
The second bias favors maintenance drugs and disfavors vaccines. The former are to be taken continuously in order to relieve patients' symptoms and perhaps prolong their lives. They tend to earn much more for their patent owners than cures of similar therapeutic benefit. Preventative medicines (such as vaccines) tend to earn even less as they are typically bought by large purchasers who can press for substantial reductions in the mark-up. This bias influences not merely how pharmaceutical companies research some given disease, but affects even more profoundly their preferred targets: in favor of diseases where research is likely to yield a maintenance drug and against diseases where a vaccine or cure is the likely outcome.
The third bias favors diseases afflicting a sizable proportion of the affluent and well-insured. Having introduced a new medicine for such a disease, a firm can sell substantial quantities even at a very high mark-up. Like profits cannot be reaped from drugs for diseases concentrated among the poor, and such diseases are typically neglected by commercial biotechnology and pharmaceutical firms. The result is that billions are spent on researching hair loss and minor skin ailments even while huge gains in global health could be realized through additional research into neglected tropical diseases and tuberculosis.
Poor people are also the main victims of two further inefficiencies resulting from temporary monopolies. Due to the huge gap between price and average manufacturing cost, a patent owner is losing many profitable sales to patients who are willing and able to pay more than manufacturing cost but not the much higher monopoly price. The patent-holding firm may wish to sell to the poor at lower prices, but if it served the poor more cheaply, then many of the more affluent would also find ways to buy at lower prices. So prices remain high, and mutually beneficial sales forgone amount globally each year to over 100 billion euros in deadweight losses. This economists' expression is especially fitting here as millions of poor patients actually die because generic manufacturers are no longer permitted to serve and save them under the tight patent rules that Western governments have managed to globalize as the WTO TRIPS Agreement.
When life-saving drugs are known to be available at huge mark-ups, the desperation of poorer patients creates illegal supply. Some such illegal products are bioequivalent to the genuine article, but most are not. Common in the less developed countries are counterfeit products that contain a much-diluted dose of the genuine medicine. The product makes patients feel a little better (so they buy more). But in cases of infectious diseases, it may have the particularly pernicious effect of allowing the disease to survive and to adapt to the medicine. Counterfeit products accelerate the development of drug-resistant strains of the target disease which, in the case of communicable diseases, endanger us all.
Litigation over monopolies constitutes a tenth major inefficiency. Innovators patent their discoveries in many countries, monitor all these jurisdictions for possible infringements, and then fight protracted legal battles with other innovators and especially with generic manufacturers. This activity has very little social value and reduces sharply the profits of pharmaceutical companies — as does the extensive lobbying these firms undertake toward defending and expanding their patenting and other privileges. Billions of euros are wasted annually on these rent-seeking activities.
The enormous inefficiencies of our pharmaceutical patent regime are known, and so are the burdens it places on the poor. But what choice do we have? Without patent-protected mark-ups most commercial pharmaceutical R&D would cease; and in any case there is no chance for the unanimous agreement among WTO members that any amendment to TRIPS would presuppose.
Yet, we do have a choice, and a good one. We can create the Health Impact Fund as a complement to the current patent regime. The HIF is a pay-for-performance mechanism that would offer innovators the option — no obligation — to register any new medicine. By registering a product, the innovator would agree to make it available, during its first decade on the market, wherever it is needed at no more than the lowest feasible cost of production and distribution (to be determined through competitive tenders submitted by generic manufacturers). The innovator would further agree to allow, at no charge, generic manufacture and distribution afterwards (if some relevant patents on the product are still unexpired). In exchange, the registrant would receive, during that first decade, annual reward payments based on its product's therapeutic benefits. Each year, the HIF would divide its annual reward pool among all registered products in proportion to their assessed health impact in that year.
The HIF would do more than foster the introduction of new high-impact medicines, especially against the long-neglected diseases of the poor, and facilitate access to registered products by tightly limiting their price. In addition, the HIF would also motivate registrants to ensure that their products are widely available (perhaps at even lower prices), competently prescribed and optimally used. This marks another sharp contrast with the current innovation system which provides an incentive only to sell, without regard to whether the product is right for the patient. (This incentive to sell is excessively strong in the case of patent holders and often too weak in the case of generic producers, with the result that the end of market exclusivity usually brings a drop not only in price but also in sales volume because the product is no longer heavily promoted.)
The HIF can provide optimal innovation incentives only if potential registrants are assured that the HIF will continue to have annual rewards pools to distribute throughout the decade following market approval. The HIF's core funding is therefore best guaranteed by a broad partnership of countries. If all countries agreed to contribute just 0.01 percent (1 euro of every 10,000) of their gross national incomes forward-going, then the HIF could get started with nearly 5 billion euros annually. This is a reasonable minimum because the high cost of introducing new medicines requires large rewards, because the reward rate should not be affected a lot by any single registration and also because the health impact assessment costs (which are subject to substantial economies of scale) should absorb no more than about ten percent of the HIF budget.
The HIF can be seen as sustaining an enduring competition among innovators that ranges over all countries and all diseases, with earnings tied to impact on health. Health impact can be measured in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) saved. The QALY metric has been refined over the last 20 years and is already extensively used by insurers in deciding which new drugs to cover. Taking as baseline the pharmaceutical arsenal before a registered medicine was introduced, the HIF would estimate to what extent this medicine has added to the length and quality of human lives. Starting from clinical trial data, this assessment process would also draw on pragmatic trials in real-life settings, on randomized follow-up of specific doses and patients, and on geographically disaggregated statistical analysis of sales data as correlated with data about the evolution of target diseases. These estimates would be imperfect — but they would achieve a vastly better correlation between profits and actual health impact than the current system. And so long as any errors are random, they would only have a relatively slight effect on the incentives of potential innovators. (I would be only slightly less willing to work in my present job if my salary varied randomly in a plus/minus 30 percent range around its current level.)
With the HIF so designed, innovators would seek to develop for HIF-registration products that can reduce the burden of disease most cost-effectively. And because registration is optional, the reward rate is bound to be reasonable. Taxpayers can anticipate that pharmaceutical innovators won't profit excessively because windfalls would cause the entrance of new registrants which would decrease the uniform reward rate (euros per QALY). Registrants can anticipate that their rewards won't be unreasonably small because a low reward rate would be self-correcting by slowing new registrations. Competition would ensure that registered products are rewarded at a rate that is profitable for innovators and maximizes the effect of the HIF.
To ensure that the HIF is cost-effective also relative to other public health expenditures, a maximum reward rate can be set, with any remaining funds to be rolled over into future years. To reassure potential innovators, one can also add some protection against an unreasonably low reward rate. A further attractive optional feature is to allow registration (perhaps with a 5-year reward period) of traditional medicines and new uses of existing medicines in order to incentivize clinical trials on their efficacy and optimal use. (It is yet another inefficiency of the current system that it provides no such incentives because traditional medicines are not patentable and market exclusivity on new uses is effectively unenforceable.)
Is the HIF proposal politically realistic? The legal suppression of the generic manufacture and sale of advanced medicines, such as second-line AIDS drugs, has seriously harmed many poor people. This alone should lead affluent people to support the HIF; we should not want pharmaceutical innovations developed for us to be incentivized and rewarded in a way that harms the poor. But our interest in cost-effective provision of medicines can also be invoked, as the HIF addresses ten of the eleven inefficiencies discussed above. (We are working on the last: designing stronger incentives for the development of last-resort medicines.)
Affluent patients, insurance companies, governments, and international organizations would benefit from the existence of a permanent source of new, high-impact medicines that from day 1 are sold cheaply and nonetheless with much dedication. By refocusing pharmaceutical firms on achieving health impact, the HIF would engender substantial reductions in the global burden of disease and thereby also reduce the dangers affluent populations face from invasive diseases (such as SARS, drug-resistant tuberculosis and strains of influenza).
Do pharmaceutical companies oppose the HIF? Not so far. And why should they? Most people working in the pharmaceutical industry choose this career because they hope to play a role in the introduction of important medicines for the benefit of humankind. They are far more eager to defeat malaria than hair loss. But any such research effort must be sustainable and accord with management's responsibilities to shareholders. The HIF would make such important research sustainable by adding substantial financial rewards to the less tangible benefits of image enhancement and brand recognition (which help a firm market all its other products). For innovators in developing countries, the HIF provides new opportunities to sharpen their teeth by researching local diseases in regard to which their more established foreign competitors do not enjoy a huge head start. And the HIF brings generic manufacturers the opportunity to submit tenders for producing HIF-registered medicines for their registrants.
The creation of the HIF would be an important structural reform, creating the first genuine global public good. It would be a step toward the much-needed moralization of the supranational sphere by manifestly embodying the idea that all human lives are of equal value. It would lift huge burdens of disease and insecurity from the poor and thereby empower them to take a more active role in their further political and social emancipation. It would be possible to modify the HIF if/as experience warrants, and its annual reward pools could be scaled up to attract an increasing share of new medicines. The model could be replicated in other domains, such as agriculture and green clean technologies, where the current patent system also leads to the inefficient underutilization of beneficial innovations to the detriment especially of the poor.
The HIF is a work in rapid progress. You can keep track through www.healthimpactfund.org

Work details
Across the Universe by Beth Revis (2011)
This could've been so good.
For some reason, I thought it would be so good.
Long story short: It's not.
First of all, the writing is not superb. It's not awful, but since everything else is also lacking, the not-so-great writing stands out even more.
Then there are the characters. I guess they aren't terrible or unrealistic, but... they just aren't great either. They aren't WRITTEN well. Elder is basically a child all the time, and not in an effective boy-trying-to-be-leader way. Amy is freaking annoying. She has plenty of reasons to be upset all the time, but still. It's just not done well. Harley is probably the only character I like.
Which brings me to the plot itself. SO FREAKING PREDICTABLE. And I'm not just talking about the romance. Literally everything. I knew right away who Orion would turn out to be, knew how it would end for Harley, knew there had to be something up with the water. The absolute only thing that was actually a surprise was Elder's final confession to Amy at the end, and that part, while pleasantly surprising, just goes on to prove how childish Elder has been the whole time.
Man, it could've been so good. Just a major disappointment. Honestly I'm surprised I managed to get all the way through it.
fairly likable characters but I am not engaging with the story line. could return to finish rading if nothing more interesting showed, but some authors consistently turn out more interesting fare
Across the Universe by Beth Revis begins with 17 year old Amy Martin and her parents, Maria and Robert, in a cryo lab, deciding who will be frozen first.
Maria, a geneticist, ends up going first so Amy will not be afraid. The process is explained, from inserting an IV to sealing the eyes, inserting tubes into the stomach, and eventually, filling the clear box with a strange blue liquid. Lastly, the box is flash frozen and then put into a drawer, similar to a morgue.
Before Her father goes into the box to start his freezing process, he tells Amy that she will go last. That way she may choose to stay behind and live with her aunt and uncle. He does not want to pressure his daughter to the life he and her mother have chosen.
Amy is traumatized by watching her parents go through the process. Her parents are top scientists, and it is vital that they agreed to be frozen and reanimated 300 years in the future, when the ship arrives at the new planet. After a while, Amy does decide to go ahead with the procedure even though she knows it is going to be painful an she will never see anyone on earth ever again.
Soon, Amy is frozen. However, Amy quickly notices that she is still conscious. Will she be in this suspended, conscious state for 300 years?!
"People have been cryo frozen before me, and none of them were conscious. If the mind is frozen, it cannot be awake or aware"
The story moves forward to 250 years in the future as the ship glides through space. . During the time Amy was inanimate, she had thoughts or dreams although this should not have been possible. Amy and her parents are on the ship - Godspeed. Elder/Eldest is the name given to the ship's leaders. The Eldest is the main leader; Elder is a leader in training. Each Eldest/Elder is created in a lab on Godspeed. The eldest person of his generation will be the ship's leader when the time is appropriate. People do not live long lives on Godspeed.
The current Eldest is a hard man. The Elder, a 16 year old, is impatient that his mentor will not reveal all there is to know about the ship and how it operates.
Amy's frozen, glass box becomes mysteriously unplugged and she is hastily and painfully reanimated. Amy has now been reanimated almost 50 years early. There no way to safely refreeze Amy so she is now all alone. Only Elder and his friend Harley will keep Amy company and protect her when possible. And, when the ship lands, Amy will be much older than her parents once they are reanimated.
Eldest is angry about Amy's presence, seeing her as a dissident. He announces to the entire ship that she is a freak and should be avoided.
Amy demands to know what has happened to her. Things escalate when other frozens are unplugged. Some live and are refrozen - some die. Amy finally figures out that there is a military connection which makes her fear for her father's life.
The operation of the ship is somewhat complex. People are drugged into submission for easy rule. The drugs were put into the drinking water. People who are no longer useful are secretly killed. The majority of the people, "Feeders," are told what to do, when to do it, and even when to mate. Drugs are used to remove individual thought. This, all to keep the ship running smoothly.
It is learned that Orion, the Record Keeper is really an Elder that was supposed to have been killed. He arrives and kills Eldest. It is also learned that he is the one that has been killing frozens. Orion believed that the military personnel would turn the ship's people into slaves. Orion is frozen by Elder.
Elder is suddenly cast into the role of Eldest and the ship's ruler. He outlaws drugs and begins to try to figure out how to undo all of the misdeeds and lies done by the former Eldests and how to build a future with Amy.
In her debut book, Beth Revis provides an entertaining, science fiction adventure. Sci-Fi novels, in the Young Adult universe, are few and far between, but Across the Universe stands on its own and will surely find a place in the hearts of many fans.
Amy, in present day, is frozen - along with her parents - and loaded on a ship launched for a new planet. Her parents are part of a crew that was deemed vital to securing and inhabiting the new planet. Amy is along for the journey.
Three hundred years later, aboard Godspeed, Elder is the next in line to lead the ship's people. After centuries onboard, there is no diversity, no difference, and no uniqueness among the people on the ship.
The story is told from both Amy and Elder's perspective. Amy's story starts the day she is frozen and continues when she is awoken - fifty years before schedule. Elder's story starts on Godspeed as he fights with Eldest (the current leader) to learn more about the ship for his future rule.
Across the Universe is definitely futuristic. We have a self-contained space ship, cryogenics and some advanced medical and scientific sub-plots that I will not get into least I spoil it for you. The characters are well rounded and endearing - Harley being my instant favourite. I wasn't a fan of Elder in the beginning, but I loved the way Beth handled his characterization. He grew on me in the end, becoming more complex than initially presented.
The one thing I found lacking was that I failed to be wowed by the mystery. As soon as the villain was introduced I saw right through him - it was a little too obvious. A lot of time was spent trying to throw the scent off, but the actions of the villain were pretty transparent. However, the way the story progressed and the way questions raised were answered, helped in creating a good tension for the story and kept me quite engaged until the end. I find that I am curious to know what happens next in Amy and Elders life and am looking forward to the sequels.
I wanted to like this book, I really did. I wanted to think for once I could possibly enjoy a YA sci-fi novel, and I really, really didn't. I couldn't suspend my disbelief enough to even start liking it at all, and the stupid logical voice in my head kept screaming at me that "this makes no sense" all the time.
I'm sorry, but I absolutely cannot believe that someone who's cryogenically frozen can still actually dream, and while she's still basically frozen (though thawing) she can hear...yet all the while her heart is NOT BEATING. If your heart doesn't beat and there's no blood flow to your brain, it isn't functional and you can't possibly experience REM sleep or any other sort of consciousness that I can possibly imagine. (and please don't tell me about near-death experiences where you feel like you're outside your body and all that -- these are called "near-death" experiences for a reason.)
I've also had a large number of issues with the author's Eldest/Elder concept, and the more it was explained, the less it seemed to make any sort of logical sense to me.
Also, "frex"? Really? Yes, I realize this is in the future by several centuries, but "frex"? Why? If you're going to start using weird expressions to replace swear words, why not just completely leave them out? The dialog could have lived without any of that stuff, and might have been better off without it.
And finally, excuse me, but if the female main character is 16, then I expect her mom is about 40-ish (and hence, about my age) but the description she makes of her when she sees her mom naked in the first chapter...???? Seriously? "Her skin had that rice-paper-thin, over-moisturized consistency old people's skin has. Her stomach--a part of her she always kept hidden under clothes--sagged in a wrinkly sort of way that made her look even more vulnerable and weak." -- WHAT? I know 60-year-old women whose body in no way looks that way, and I'm offended by the implication that to a teenager, anyone that's their parent's age must look ancient and decaying!
Maybe the book gets better, once you get past the start and the main characters meet, and whatever...but I guess I'll never know, and I'm really annoyed that I bought this one instead of having a look at the library for it. BLAH.

Nice jacket....but
By Murphy

This is an attractive, warm, lightweight jacket. I was dubious of its warmth at first because it's so thin and flimsy feeling but it is warm and comfortable, the sizing though isn't the best and is smaller than usual, so I would recommend either choosing your waist size or one bigger, great for casual use but I don't think it would stand up to outside work on its own, as part of the 4 in 1 jacket probably.
item too small, had to return. postage very expensive.

|Last updated on January 23, 2010
Your Host (1947-1961) was an american Thoroughbred racehorse. Foaled in California, he was by the imported British stallion Alibhai out of the Irish mare Boudoir by the French stallion Mahmoud. Bred in the stables of Louis B. Mayer, the head of Metro Goldwyn Mayer, Your Host was owned by Mayer's son-in-law, the Hollywood film producer, William Goetz, and trained by Harry L. Daniels.
Your Host was born with a right eye and ear set higher than his left, a crooked neck, low withers, and light flanks. It was said his neck was twisted due to a youthful injury, but his groom claimed he held his head oddly in order to see properly. Your Host was nervous, headstrong, and often uncontrollable. A chestnut, he had four white stockings which some considered unlucky. At the age of two, Your Host became seriously ill and only the skill of his veterinarians and his own will to live saved his life.[citation needed]
Racing at age two, Your Host won the California Breeders' Champion Stakes, the Del Mar Futurity, and came second in the Salinas Handicap and the Homebred Stakes. At three, he won the San Felipe Stakes and the Santa Anita Derby. He also took a race at Keeneland Race Course by six and a half lengths in a new track record, beating the Flamingo Stakes winner, Oil Capitol, and the winner of the Blue Grass Stakes, Mr. Trouble. The horse the press began to call "The Magnificent Cripple" was favored to win the 76th Kentucky Derby in 1950.[citation needed]
Your Host arrived in Kentucky to great fanfare. The sign on his Hollywood connections railroad car stated: "1950 Kentucky Derby Winner."[citation needed] But though ridden by the great Johnny Longden (inducted into both the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame and the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame), and valiantly dueling for a mile with Mr. Trouble—and leading, Your Host faded badly. In the second fastest Derby yet run, timed at 2:01 3/5, he lost to Middleground, coming home ninth and exhausted. Your Host returned to California and shorter races where he won the Thanksgiving Day Handicap, the Golden State Breeders' Handicap, the Kent Stakes, the Dick Welles Stakes and the Sheridan Handicap. He placed in the Premiere Handicap and came third in the American Derby and the Arlington Classic. In this third year, he beat the eventual Horse of the Year, Hill Prince, who had beaten him by coming second in the Derby. He also beat Ponder, the son of Pensive, both Kentucky Derby winners.
In 1951, Your Host's fourth season, he finished second to Bolero while conceding five pounds in the San Carlos Handicap, and then won the Santa Catalina Stakes under 130 pounds. During this race, Your Host's saddle slipped forward, almost losing him his jockey. In this race he set a new track record of 1:48 1/5 for the 1 1/8 mile.
On January 13th, entered in the San Pasqual Handicap, Your Host clipped heels with Renown. His jockey, Eric Guerin, who had been having a hard time rating him, rolled clear, but Your Host came down heavily on his right shoulder. The ulna bone of his right foreleg was fractured in four places, his right shoulder and upper leg were also fractured. The first to get to him was his exercise rider, Tuffy Morlan. Morlan later said, "There he stood, broken and in horrible pain, but his funny cock-eyed head was up and he whinnied at me, a faint, desperate sound. It was the first time he had ever asked me for help. I knew he needed me then and I could do nothing but take him by the head and weep. I don't think I ever felt so empty and lost as at that moment."[citation needed]
Vanned off the track, all thought he would die. The vets announced there was no point prolonging his suffering. Insured by Lloyds of London, the insurers paid off. But instead of destroying Your Host, they did everything they could to save him. Sent to the Circle S. Ranch of George Stratton, he was tended by Dr. John Walker who tried everything to immobilize the injury. In the end, he packed the horse in sand to keep him steady. Your Host eventually recovered; however, his right foreleg healed shorter than his left.[citation needed]
Lloyds of London sent him to stud. Your Host became almost immediately an immensely successful stallion. In his first California crops he sired stakes winners Miss Todd, Social Climber, and Blen Host. He also produced Windy Sands who in turn sired Crystal Water. Eventually he went to stand at Meadow View Farms in New Jersey. It was there he sired Kelso by the mare Maid of Flight (daughter of Count Fleet and granddaughter of Man o' War). Kelso was five times American Horse of the Year and was rated #4 in the Blood-Horse magazine List of the Top 100 Racehorses of the 20th Century.
Your Host ran in 23 races, won 13 times, placed 5 times, and came in third twice. In his lifetime he won $384,795. His life ended in 1961. He was fifteen years old.

Soundfly Launches New Free Course on Ableton Live with Andrew Huang
via Soundfly:
"Soundfly launches new free course with YouTube star Andrew Huang on making music with found sounds in Ableton Live
Andrew Huang has gotten millions of views on YouTube for making creative songs using only balloons, glasses of water, dental equipment, pairs of jeans, and much more. Soundfly's brand new series Any Sound Will Do, launching today, will pull back the curtain on how he does it — and teach you how to turn everyday objects into musical instruments using a microphone and Ableton Live.
Pretty much anything can be a musical instrument, with the right knowledge and a copy of Ableton Live. In this series, some of the world's best at using found sounds in their music take you through their approaches to capturing, manipulating, and shaping everyday items to make more interesting music. The free series includes two micro-courses: "Capturing and Warping Samples in Ableton Live" with Ableton Certified Trainer, Brian Jackson, and "Making Music From Everyday Items" with YouTube star Andrew Huang. Both courses are completely free and take only an hour of your time!

RITBA Looks to Reuse, Sell Sakonnet Toll Equipment
NewsRadio 920 WHJJ and the Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority says it may reuse or try to sell equipment on the Sakonnet River Bridge that's not needed after the toll was eliminated.
A RITBA spokesman said Tuesday some equipment could be reused on the Newport Bridge. He said the board will also explore selling it.
The General Assembly eliminated the 10-cent toll.
RITBA earlier estimated it spent $4.6 million to $5 million installing the toll equipment. A spokesman said Tuesday a more detailed review found it was just over $4 million.
He said RITBA would have to pay a $1 million contract termination fee to the company that pursues toll violators on the Sakonnet and Newport bridges if the board decides an outside processor isn't needed.
RITBA collected $800,000 from the Sakonnet toll.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Alright, perhaps I'm biased: Pearl Jam have always bugged the crap out of me. Back in the grunge era (do I capitalize that?), I was a fan of almost all of the Seattle bands, and even 3rd-level grunge-rock like Alice in Chains and Screaming Trees landed in my vinyl collection. But I hated Pearl Jam: "Jeremy"'s warbling, maudlin self-righteousness and aimless melody grated on me like a Celine Dion ballad, and the highest I've ever rated any of their songs is "tolerable." However, the more I learned about Eddie Vedder and crew, the more I grew to have grudging respect for them; a radio show Vedder hosted in 1995 featured fantastic music, and the band's fight against Ticketmaster was admirable (if fruitless). I realized that I like what they like, just not what they make.
So I suppose it shouldn't come as a surprise that they've recorded an embarrassingly bad take on "Rock Around the Clock" in support of Obama called (shudder) "Rock Around Barack." Its simpering, smirking chorus of "We're gonna rock around Barack tonight" is so terrible I think I might have just blacked out after only the first 7 seconds of the thing, and when I woke up I was on the donation screen of Hillary Clinton's website.
With Romney out of the race (and the Mega-Tuesday primaries settling nothing), my excitement over the knock-down drag-out rumble on the Democratic side has suddenly turned to abject terror: I just want this thing settled already, I don't care how! Perhaps Pearl Jam are trying to help in their own perverted way: just like a bunch of really cool posters, a crew of aging hippies doing a Bill Haley cover for you can't be a good sign.

Fortune Asks 'Why Does America Hate Silicon Valley?' -SVW
Jared Sperli stashed this in politics
Stashed in: Silicon Valley!, Narcissists!, Silicon Valley
Silicon Valley companies should just f*ck-the-shut-up about changing the world when they consistently haven't been able to change anything locally. For decades now, East Palo Alto remains a ghetto, the Tenderloin is still the poorest, most deprived neighborhood in San Francisco, and our public schools have only a 50% graduation rate. And the tech companies are willing to let things stay that way. Their techno-optimism doesn't require any techno-activism, it's as if the technology itself is the agent of change without any human direction or determination required.
It should be embarrassing to say, "Yes, we're inventing the future here" — but it looks the same as the past. But there is no embarrassment because there is no self-awareness.
Dan Primack of Fortune was asked, "why so many outside Silicon Valley vilify those within it." He replied:
The Valley's public figures often seem to exude a particularly insular narcissism – that so long as the tech biz is thriving then everything else is largely irrelevant…
It also probably doesn't help that so much of the local tech press is personally friendly with industry insiders — thus prompting outside media to be particularly harsh (as a counter-example, not as much NYC financial press spends its free time with bankers or PE execs — there's much more of a separation).

Richardson returns now, bringing her disturbed authority and troubling translucence to Tom Cairns's creepily compelling revival of a 1985 play by Shawn, Aunt Dan and Lemon. The drama focuses on the warping relationship between a susceptible young girl, Lemon, and Aunt Dan (commandingly played by Richardson), who was a charismatic right-wing American friend of her parents, and an Oxford don.
The piece is cast as a memory with Lemon, now a listless, sickly solitary, subsisting on a meagre private income, viewing scenes from her own childhood like some wraith-like outsider or, in the case of Dan's independent past, like a confused tourist. The proceedings include a lengthy defence of the Vietnam policies of Henry Kissinger, delivered with a God-give-me- patience incredulity at anyone who cannot see what a selfless angel he is in agreeing to use force to save the rest of the population from doing so.
The piece ends, after Dan's death, with Lemon, in a quietly deranged echo of her twisted logic, defending the Nazis' extermination of Jews to the audience. The only essential difference between the Nazis and other people is that the former didn't fool themselves with any fantasies about compassion.
The questions the play concerns itself with are: What draws intellectuals to extreme right-wing positions, and why is it easier for the right to seduce the public by appearing more ruthlessly "honest" with themselves than liberals? Exploring these issues, the play exerts a powerful grip and Cairns's active production is highly skilful.
Finally, though, Shawn's constitutional inability to think in anything but melodramatic extremes leaves me dissatisfied with both the argument and the drama, which is over-dependent on monologue. The Dans of this world are, to my mind, less fascinating than those harder cases, like John Updike, who, nothing if not sensitive, found themselves supporting the Vietnam War, as he has revealed in his memoirs, Self-Consciousness. There is a brilliant work about the malign effects on young minds of a charismatic Fascist teacher but it's not Aunt Dan - it's The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

"I'm always trying to improve," he told BSB earlier this fall. "I look in the film room, evaluate all that. My coaches are teaching me what to do, and I just listen to them. I do whatever I can to keep getting better."
Those efforts paid off when he was named the first full-time defensive player since Andy Katzenmoyer in 1995 to win the honor that goes to the best prep player in the state by the Associated Press.
Heading into tonight's Ohio Division III championship game, Booker has 122 total tackles, 23 tackles for loss, eight sacks, two interceptions (one for a touchdown), two forced fumbles and two recovered fumbles (one for a touchdown), per the AP.
"He's a heck of a football player," STVM head coach Dan Boarman told BSB. "He's a leader on our defense."
Booker is just the third Mr. Football planning on attending Ohio State since the year 2000. Warren Harding running back Maurice Clarett won the honor in 2001 and Piqua RB Brandon Saine captured the award in 2006.
Truly humbled to be named Mr.Football and bring such an honor to STVM, I will have it known that I'm sharing this with my brothers.— Dante Booker Jr. (@D_Book47) December 5, 2013
Booker is rated the No. 5 outside linebacker in the nation and the No. 71 overall prospect in the nation. In Ohio, he is rated behind only Cleveland Glenville's Marshon Lattimore, Cleveland St. Ignatius' Kyle Berger and teammate Parris Campbell.
Unbeaten St. Vincent-St. Mary will attempt to defend its state title tonight vs. Trotwood-Madison. Stay tuned to BuckeyeSports.com for team coverage of the game.
Per the AP, other players considered included Toledo Central Catholic QB DeShone Kizer, Mentor QB Conner Krizancic, Clarksville Clinton-Massie RB Bayle Wolf, New Philadelphia RB Jamal Johnson, Covington RB A.J. Ouellette, Athens QB Joe Burrow and Westerville Central QB Jared Drake.

Every Tuesday we'll take a closer look at the Ravens' next opponent. This weekend it's the Indianapolis Colts:
Record: 0-12, fourth in AFC South
Wins: None
Losses: @ Houston, vs, Cleveland, vs. Pittsburgh, @ Tampa Bay, vs. Kansas City, @ Cincinnati, @ New Orleans, @ Tennessee, vs. Atlanta, vs. Jacksonville, vs. Carolina, @ New England
Offense: 29th in NFL, 14th in AFC
Defense: 28th in NFL, 15th in AFC
Synopsis thus far: It's just so hard to comprehend. The Colts at 0-12? Winless? Sans a victory? When news broke that quarterback Peyton Manning was going to miss time with a neck injury, it was assumed the Colts would take a step backward, but I don't think anybody imagined they'd fall right off the cliff. Without Manning, this team is lost. Offensively things are awful. All of those weapons at wideout mean nothing if they don't have a quarterback to throw them the ball and the running game, which has always been mediocre, can no longer hide behind Manning's greatness. The real mystery, though, is on defense. Manning didn't play defense for them, did he? He wasn't lined up in the secondary, no, but in a way Manning's absence hurts the defense, too. Think of all of the time Manning spent on the field, running the offense, allowing the defense time to rest and adjust. Now, there's no rest for the weary. It's hard to believe this franchise could go 0-16, but each week it's looking more like the only certainty in Indianapolis.
Where they're strong: Let's see, their uniforms? I've always liked the blue and white together. In all honesty, this is one of the lowest points in franchise history, but I guess I've got to put something here. While the defense is horrendous, give some credit to middle linebacker Pat Angerer. In just his second season, Angerer is shining at middle linebacker. He's third in the NFL in tackles with 112, and four times has finished with double digit tackles this season. Angerer had an astounding 21 tackles in the Colts' loss to Pittsburgh in Week 3, and appears to have a bright future ahead of him in this unit.
Where they're weak: The answers here are plentiful, but the run defense is just pitiful. Despite the emergence of the aforementioned Angerer, the Colts are 30th in the league against the run, allowing 144.2 yards on the ground per game. Opponents have rushed for 17 touchdowns and broken off seven runs of at least 20 yards. That doesn't bode well for the matchup this weekend, when the Colts will have to stop Ray Rice, who is coming off a career-high 204 yards against the Browns.
Overall advantage: The word a week ago was the Ravens played down to their opponents and struggled to beat the teams they should. Baltimore exorcised some of its demons with last week's win in Cleveland, but Ravens fans should hope the team doesn't play down to the level of the 0-12 Colts. This one should be an easy win, particularly at home, for the Ravens. No win is a gimme in this league, but this is about as close as it gets.

Maoists kill 17 cops in Maharashtra
Maoists rebels have killed at least 17 cops in the Lahiri area of Gadchiroli in Maharashtra.
Zeenews Bureau
Nagpur: At least 17 policemen were killed in Gadchiroli on Thursday when two hundred Naxals swooped down on a police post in the Lahiri area of Bhamragadh taluka in the district. The dead include one sub-inspector C S
Deshmukh and sixteen constables of the C-60 anti-Naxal force raised by Maharashtra.
The daring attack occured when a police party of nearly
40 personnel came under heavy fire from 150 to 200 naxals at
about 1pm near Laheri police station of the district when it
was returning after undertaking search operations following an
intelligence input that Maoists had assembled in the area.
Not only that, in a rerun of the beheading of a Jharkhand police
intelligence officer by the Maoists near Ranchi in a
Taliban-type action early this week, a police informer
identified as Suresh Alami met a similar fate in Gadchiroli
just before the third major naxal strike in this district.
The incident comes days before Maharashtra votes October 13 to elect a new assembly. The Chief Minister of Maharashtra said the situation was war-like and his government wouldn`t be cowed down by the attack.
About 15 naxals were
also killed, reports said.
"It is a war-like situation... we are committed to
fighting the naxals and we won`t be cowed down," Chavan said.
A rescue mission was launched as soon as report of the attack came with the government sending four helicopters to the spot and a massive manhunt has been launched to to weed out the attackers. Centre has rushed
additional paramilitary forces to the area, which was sealed so that the Naxals don't escape the area.
IG (Nagpur) Surendra Kumar said two policemen received
bullet injuries in hand and leg and were out of danger but the
bodies of those slain were yet to be recovered.
"The retreating naxalites have felled trees to block the
advance of reinforcements. A combing operation is underway to
track down the fleeing naxalites and retrieve the bodies, but
the task is difficult given the difficult terrain and the
night," he said.
Reacting to the deadly attacks in a span of a few hours, Chavan said that the government was concerned at the sudden spurts in attacks.
He said there was no shortage of forces and that the war on Naxals would continue. Chavan also said he had discussed the situation with the Centre and the latter had promised full support to the state.
Pointing out that naxal menace was a common problem faced
by Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh, Chavan said
"this is an inter-state issue and will have to be tackled
"Additional (central) forces are in Maharashtra and they
are already on way to assist the state police," Union Home
Secretary G K Pillai told news agencies.
The attack occurred barely hours after Maoists set ablaze a gram panchyat office in the area. The extremists torched the office at Ramgarh under
Purada police station and fled from the scene, they said,
quoting initial reports.
The attack coincided the Cabinet Committee of Security
(CCS) meeting presided by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New
Delhi to discuss the rise in Naxal violence.
District Collector Atul Patne told news agencies that Alami`s
severed head was found near his body as naxals had suspected
him to be a police informer.
Home Minister P Chidambaram had yesterday said the security forces will engage the Maoists till they abjure violence and the air force will take steps to protect itself from any Naxal attacks.
Among the worst-hit by Maoist violence, Gadchiroli district in eastern Maharashtra is situated around 180 km from here and 1,200 km from Mumbai. It borders Adnhra Pradesh, where the Maoist rebels had a stronghold for a long while.

Blarney Castle in Ireland was one of those fortifications originally built in wood of which nothing remains. Built initially in the 1100s it soon succumbed to western Europe's importation of gun powder from China, which powder the locals quickly learned to stuff down an iron barrel, roll a rounded stone and later an iron ball down the barrel, light the powder in the barrel, and blow all wooden fortifications to smithereens. ...

Today we headed out from Killarney and made way on towards Cork. Along the way we stopped in Blarney to see the Blarney Castle, which dates before 1200.

If you hadn't guessed it, the Blarney Castle is home of the Blarney Stone, the famous kissing stone that is said to give the gift of the gab, or eloquence.

Med Kitchen (Covent Garden)
Unfortunatly they placed us in an alcove where the acoustics were challenging but were compounded by the music system being too loud (there was a speaker in the alcove). Polte requests to turn it down so we could hear were ignored- requests such as if you dont turn it down or move us to another table we will have to leave were eventually heard despite some scarasm
A real shame as the menu and food was of good quality, with variety for all ages. Likewise the price was most reasonable. I would definatly return if the music was lower

Liver (color)
Liver is a term used to describe certain types of dark brown color in dogs and horses.
In dogs, It is a dark brown grayish chocolate shade.
In horses, "liver chestnut" is a term used to describe a chocolate-colored chestnut horse. A liver chestnut is the same genetically as a regular chestnut, but the shade is a dark brown rather than the reddish or rust color more typical of chestnut. A horse that appears to be a liver chestnut but has a light colored mane and tail, sometimes colloquially called a "chocolate palomino," could be a horse manifesting the champagne gene. However, "flaxen" or light-colored manes and tails are also seen in chestnuts.

OK, f*ck it, I'm sick of this old profile. I hope to get back to writing this summer.
9 out of every 10 ideas I have for fanfictions never even get written down. 8 out of every 10 fanfics I write never get posted. I failed mathematics in school, but I think that means that only 8% of my ideas get posted here. Shame really. But, honestly, I have a weird mind and I'm terrified that people will psychoanalyse me and send me off to the loony bin for some of the weirder ones.
Only thing is, the hard drive that had all my best work on it (including all my plans and notes for "Trick of the Devil" got wiped and I didn't have a backup. T_T Thus, I will probably be just winging it. Thus I give my sincerest apologise to Anti-Form Sora, who was kind enough to write me a chapter. It has now been lost to the aether. I will hold a funeral for it when I can find the time.

Blaine Campus will Participate in WINGS Fair to Support Mentally Challenged Youth
Posted by Staff Writer on February 15, 2012
Janea Okoye, Director of Admissions and Dan Archambault, Admissions Representative, from the Minnesota School of Business Blaine campus, will be attending the Welcoming Independence New Growth with Support fair on Saturday, February 25. The resource fair will be held at Anoka Ramsey Community College and will be hosted by Anoka County and the Anoka County Children and Family Council. The purpose of the fair is to provide mentally challenged youth with tips and tools that help them transition into an independent lifestyle. Some areas of focus include:
- Means Restriction
- Housing
- Advocacy and Guardianship
- Independent Living Skills
- Finances
- Healthy Dating
"Janea and I are really excited to this event," says Dan. "The 'We Care' philosophy, generated by the GEN Network, stems outside of our campus and current students. We take pride in our communities. Our goal is to offer any advice and assistance that these individuals are looking for. This opportunity not only helps us with brand recognition, but it also enables us to give back and be associated with an important community event."

Bang Saray might share a coast with its famous neighbour Pattaya, but it shares nothing else in common. Bang Saray is a distinctively Thai community, and while quite a lot of tourists come here to eat in the big seaside restaurants, they are nearly all Thai. There are just three beachfront resorts to the north of the village, and most of the guests in those are also Thais, for Bang Saray is a weekend and holiday escape for people in Bangkok.
The beach along this coast is very ordinary; rather narrow with not-so-clear water. But of course it will be cleaner here than further north at Pattaya. The resorts here are certainly relaxing, and you have to drive to find restaurants and shopping. The only entertainment is that in Pattaya, some twenty kilometres away.
The southern-most of the three beachfront resorts here, Sea Sand Sun Resort, is two kilometres north of Bang Saray village and its many restaurants, a 30-minute walk along the beach for those who are reasonably healthy.
Sunset Park Resort is particularly attractive, being built into the natural forest with some original water ways also left intact.

It's not matter of scan settings. None of network devices have listed MAC in Spiceworks. Computers do, but network devices don't.
Do switches in Your Spiceworks have any MAC address listed? On Interfaces tab, there is only device's IP address listed...
Same with VOIP phones. It seems that except Computers, Spiceworks are missing MAC evidence of everything else :(
