Proteases decisively contribute to cancer development and promotion by regulating the activities of growth factors/cytokines and signaling receptors, as well as the composition of the extracellular matrix, thereby suppressing cell death pathways and activating cell survival pathways. In Proteases and Cancer: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers bring together a wide range of current, complimentary techniques that have been developed for the specific detection and analysis of proteases and their activities in cancer biology. The volume covers vital topics including the application of proteomics technologies for the detection of protease expression in tumors, imaging proteases by activity profiling, proteomics technologies for the identification of biological substrates, detection of cell surface proteolysis, imaging of protease activity, the use of transgenic mice to determine protease function in tumor initiation and progression, and the development of anti-protease therapies for cancer. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and easy to use, Proteases and Cancer: Methods and Protocols is an ideal guide for scientists who wish to pursue the study of this important branch of cancer research and the development of unique innovative technologies to aid in that study.

Cutterhead Knife Angle
Forum Responses
From contributor R:
I agree with Contributor Y. I'd wish it had stamped on it 10-12 degree. The hook angle determines where the impact area is on the wood surface. The lower the # of degree the more surface area of the wood it touches while cutting. Try grinding the knives at 20 degree rough grind and maybe 15 degree on the finish grind. I don't think it will help a whole bunch but its worth a shot before buying a lower degree cutterhead.
From contributor J:
If the hook angle is to sharp, putting a back bevel on the knife would help it. It would be a bevel ground on the face of the knife to create a lesser hook angle relative to the wood. If the cutterhead is 30 degrees, then a 20 degree bevel on the face would make it 10 degrees.
From contributor C:
Most older planers have high hook angles in the head's knife pockets (like your 30 degree in the Yates). This requires more than 30% less horsepower to run, than a comparable head with a 12 degree hook. A cutterhead with a lower hook angle would provide a much better finish in hardwoods. A good solution would be to go to an insert spiral or straight knife head.
If you need to continue to use your existing cutterhead with the 30 degree hook, then here are a few grinding suggestions. Initially, grind the knives at 20 degree back clearance and then add a 10 degree side clearance. Then use an 18 degree secondary grind that is very narrow (only 1/64 wide or so). This secondary angle will help to increase your tool life.
From contributor S:
I'm confused. What exactly is a 10 degree side clearance? Would that be to alleviate somewhat the "hollow"? And if so, then how does it come into play with the secondary 18 degree grind?
From contributor R:
I think the 10 degree side clearance acts like a shear cut. I too use 5 to 10 degree side clearance on all my knives while grinding (it allows the knife to breathe). The micro 15-18 degree finish grind allows the wood chips an avenue to escape between the rough grind. There is less surface area of the knife touching the wood, less friction, less heat buildup and longer knife life.
From contributor S:
We're talking planer knives, right?
From contributor R:
Yes, same concept applies.
From Dave Rankin, forum technical advisor:
I agree with the posts. I use about a 20 degree back grind and a 10 degree side grind. The side grind, from the grinding wheel, leaves small marks on the knife. These create an air flow that pulls the heat away from the tool. The chip also will follow the direction of the side grind. It acts as a shear in this manner but not in the true since of the term shear. As a normal, you can expect to increase your tool life by using the 10 degree side grind about 20%.
From contributor M:
Contributor R - I am missing the whole "side" clearance grind thing. Can you explain a little better if you would as to where on the knife this is occurring.
From contributor R:
Tilting the actual grinding wheel 5 - 60 degrees while grinding, creates what we call side clearance. I hope that helps.
From Dave Rankin, forum technical advisor:
You may not be able to tilt your grinding wheel on your machine, and if you cannot then you will not be able to do a side clearance. If you grind you knives in the machine, then it is unlikely that a side clearance is possible.
From the original questioner:
My planer is direct drive so replacing the cutterhead is not practical. I cannot side grind with the planer's grinder so I will try a 20 degree back grind with a finish grind.
From contributor Y:
I guess this side clearance thing is taking the long way around to my brain. You grind your rough grind, and on your finish grind you have your wheel tilted (I can do that) to make diagonal marks on the edge of the knife? Is that what everyone is explaining? If so, does it really help?
From contributor S:
I've been putting a "side clearance" on my straight moulder knives for years, but apparently not for the right reason. I've ground my straight knives this way to reduce, albeit only somewhat, the hollow or concave effect. My understanding was that a hollow grind is more fragile than a knife ground flat, or along its length.
From Dave Rankin, forum technical advisor:
A few years ago when the Grinderman's Association Training Center was operating, test were performed using an infrared thermometer. During this test the following things were discovered:
1. The higher the back clearance, the cooler the knife (until the knife started dulling).
This testing was done during production runs at a couple of different manufacturing facilities. Records were made but are not available outside of this manufacturing facility.
The changes that this company made were the following:
From contributor T:
Has anyone thought about the knife extension? We have found that the closer the knife is to the gib/head body, the more of a shaving you get. The shaving causes less grain fracturing and a smoother cut. Lower the knife to as close to the head diameter and gib as you can get. Also, consider running with two knives instead of four. It's hard to set all four knives to the same cutting circle, unless you're jointing them in the head. Two knives will give you a good cut, last longer, stay cooler and use 50 % less knives.
From contributor R:
Contributor J had it right regarding the hook angle. You can lower it as he explained by grinding a bevel on the face as well. This was common practice in the "old days"
From contributor S:
Dave, of the five discoveries you list, that were a result of the Grinderman's Association collaboration with a couple of different manufacturing facilities, only the second discovery is relative to my question regarding "side clearance" grinding on straight knives.
2. Side clearance on straight knives and on many profiles that normally did not require a side clearance would see a lower operating temperature as long as the side clearance came to the exact cutting edge.
It is disappointing that both straight and profile knives were lumped together in this conclusion, and that there was no quantifying data for either type knives. Also noteworthy is the absence of any mention of "chip direction". Is it possible that this aberration was not one of the test's focuses, and therefore no data was collected? If so, who tested and discovered the chip direction phenomenon?
From Dave Rankin, forum technical advisor:
The direction of the side clearance came to light when the chips filled up the floor around a spindle. The side clearance should help force the chips toward the fence so that you can get a better chip removal
As for the manufacturer that did the test, the test was done as part of a contract with the manufacturer. The general information is available since it has been re-tested several times in the field. As with all tooling tests that I have been involved with, proof is the difference that it makes for you.

Progesterone Helps Weight Loss
It can certainly be frustrating to do all the right things to lose weight or to maintain your weight at a healthy level and not get the desired results. You eat right and you exercise and still do not get the dividends.
If you are a woman who has had a child, used birth control pills, or are nearing mid-life, then the problem may be hormonal. All of these factors can lead to Estrogen Dominance - a condition where progesterone levels are too low to balance out estrogen.
Additional Reasons for Estrogen DominanceAside from the factors mentioned above, there are other reasons why estrogen dominance can manifest. Ovarian cysts or tumors can cause excess estrogen prorduction and so can stress.** However,**** the most common cause is obesity.**
_ Here are a few other reasons that can cause estrogen dominance to manifest: _
- All body fat has an enzyme that turns adrenal steroids to estrogen. Therefore, the more fat you have the more estrogen you have.
Estrogen is removed by the liver. Liver diseases like cirrhosis or a decreased enzyme activity can lead to an increase in estrogen levels.
Estrogen supplementation and exposure to pesticides in foods are two final causes for Estrogen Dominance.
An adequate balance between estrogen and progesterone is important because it is important for decreasing a woman's risk for breast cancer and improves her PMS.
How Estrogen Dominance Inhibits Weight Loss
Too much estrogen turns more calories into fat. Fat cells make more estrogen, and estrogen causes more growth of fatty tissue. This excess fat usually builds up around the abdomen. Estrogen dominance can also cause a release of excess insulin. Too much insulin can lead to sugar cravings that are difficult to ignore.
Estrogen excites the brain causing estrogen dominant women to sleep restlessly. Lack of sleep disrupts Leptin, the hormone that regulates appetite. Lack of sleep has also been shown to increase calorie intake and reduce the expenditure of energy. Even more, an improper balance between estrogen and progesterone causes women to retain more fluid than normal and results in swelling and bloating.
The Progesterone Solution
Estrogen dominance is a hormonal imbalance that can be corrected by using bio-identical hormones. Lab testing will reveal the levels and balance of estrogen in the body. Although not as accurate as urine testing, saliva testing is easier. Once this is done, a treatment plan can be developed to restore hormonal balance.
In order to replicate a hormonal environment that is most accurate it is necessary to get the hormones directly into the blood. A cream or gel rubbed once or twice daily into mucus membranes is an effective administration. A road block to this method is that progesterone cream that is applied to the skin will eventually saturate fat tissues and stop working. To avoid this, apply the to the mucus membranes that line the uterus and vagina. Absorption through this membranes is more sufficient than through the skin.
Once hormonal balance is restored the benefits can include better sleep, improved mood, increased energy, improved mental function and improved libido, and weight loss.** Helpful weight loss articles:**** 6 Les Mills Workouts You'll Want to Try**** Boost Your Metabolism by Eating these Foods!**

Local and foreign groups have asked Vietnam to release a blogger who was arrested for allegedly posting "bad content" and "false information" to the Internet.
Hong Le Tho, also known by his blogger name Nguoi Lot Gach, or "Brick Layer," was detained recently on anti-state charges. Tho's blog has been inaccessible since his arrest.
Social activist Nguyen Ngoc Nhu Quynh, a founding member of the Vietnam Network of Bloggers, tells VOA the arrest signals a change in tactics used by authorities to silence dissidents.
"It is very different from other previous cases. The police said they acted on informant information to arrest Tho, but it is so vague. It shows the discriminate use of law to protect the reputation of party and the state," she said. "We are campaigning for the freedom of expression and speech of Hong Le Tho in particular and other bloggers in general."
Vietnam's Ministry of Public Security said it acted on information from an informant. Authorities have said his online posts "discredit and create distrust among people" under Article 258 of the Penal Code, a vague and controversial law that criminalizes "abusing democratic freedoms."
The Committee to Protect Journalists has said Vietnam's Communist Party-dominated government "has increasingly used the law to stifle online criticism of its authoritarian rule."
According to advocacy groups for journalists and bloggers, Vietnam has taken at least five bloggers into police custody under the same law since 2013.
This report was produced in collaboration with the VOA Vietnamese service.

Up Trucks 2016
Each and every year a new set of automobiles role out of their respective factories, and each year car and truck junkies examine them to see who has improved, what new innovations are included, and just who has the best model. 1 of the greatest-selling pickups in Europe, the Volkswagen Amarok is obtaining its very first main facelift in 2016 ushering in a new engine, greater towing capacity and the latest tech. The Tundra is regarded as one of the most dependable pickup trucks out nowadays, but they have but to fine tune their engine packages for the very best mix of horsepower and efficiency. Trucks cost much more to drive, sustain and insure, but there are ways that you can support offset that extra cost, and possibly even make a profit. Bulky Robust Look- Just searching at the Tundra exterior, it looks like a big, muscular truck Despite the fact that the outer appear of a half ton truck does not necessarily sell it, it can certainly support.
Regrettably Ford was a little late with the Bronco and it couldn't compete with the significantly larger Blazer that appeared in 1969, which had an optional 350ci engine and automatic transmission. I have always been all about trucks and these are excellent ones.While I will admit that I liked the Hilux and Tacoma, I like these too. Presently, a automobile or pickup gets turned into a crumpled heap of trash by any bang!
There are numerous options that make the sort of vehicle Pickup trucks 4×4, this demands a robust technical engineers and intellectuals who worked in the organization. Antec 4×4 Accessories and Styling options are superior makers of Stainless steel EU Authorized Pedestrian Secure Front Bars (FPS, A Bars, Nudge Bars). Steve nailed it. I am an aircraft mechanic, and have driven every sort of truck there is. They are have their very good points and undesirable points. With a rumored addition of a 6 speed transmission in 2012, Dodge could finally begin to close the fuel mileage gap on Chevrolet. All-new for 2016, the NP300 Navara is the highest-rated pickup on the Parkers internet site.
Nevertheless, with their change of concentrate in the pickup market, Toyota has selected to go much more for a high horsepower truck than an financial truck. Pickups that have blade/bar sort magnets (such as Rail humbuckers and many higher output humbucker models) do not have poles which want to be aligned, therefore string spacing is a non-problem. I would really like to get my hands on a M998 HMMWV, but I've in no way even observed a single for sale anyplace. Previous deisel truck owners may possibly have significantly less problems believing, however, as Cummins has been delivering Dodge with six Cylinder diesel engines for years.
I had a 84 Silverado that would ride greater, greater mileage, and had 250,xxx miles just before trading up. My 2011 Silverado does gets 23 mpg in perfect situations (flat roads and no wind)and hates quit lights. Effectively I did like the Bose system, but you require to listen to the New sony method with bigger speakers and sync in the Ford trucks. The military Hummers usually come up for around $30k when they do come up for sale.

I had a long phone conversation Wednesday morning with John Kutsko, executive director of the Society of Biblical Literature, about my letter regarding the decision to make the Review of Biblical Literature a resource available only to SBL members. John emailed me to set up a time to talk, and my understanding is that he has called others who have emailed the SBL to express concerns about this decision.
So many people emailed me, replied to my Facebook post, and posted or tweeted my blog post about my letter, that I wanted to let everyone know what happened. It has taken me this long to post about it, because I have rewritten this post three times.
At the beginning of the call, I said I appreciated his reaching out but I thought that some kind of public response might be helpful, since quite a number of people had expressed interest in this issue. Based on my conversation, I think we will hear more in February or March.
John explained that the decision to make the RBL a members-only resource was part of a larger strategy to increase services to members of the SBL. There are a few moving parts to this strategy. I don't know all the details, in part because I told him that I didn't want to know as long as I couldn't reveal these details to others. What he did say was that the Society plans to release more information later in the year about some initiatives for making biblical scholarship more accessible, but the initiatives are still in progress. Since our conversation came about due to a public conversation about open access, I emphasized several times that I didn't want to be privy to details I then couldn't share publicly.
What I do know is that there are some programs launching this year that John believes will 1) make membership more accessible to people (especially contingent faculty and junior scholars), 2) increase the scholarly resources the society provides, and 3) makes those resources more accessible to academics in other fields.
I very much appreciated that he contacted me. I also am concerned that the SBL doesn't have an effective communication and social media strategy. That the Executive Director is personally contacting people who have expressed concerns about the Society's decisions is in some ways an indication of open communications. I worry, however, that this is an insular process; I know a number of people (myself included) were concerned last year that the SBL was releasing official information by contacting individual bloggers, who would then blog about Society activities or policies. (Rather than more frequent newsletters/press releases, or establishing its own Facebook page or a more robust Twitter presence.) I worried that this phone call to me was part of a similar pattern.
We talked about a number of things, which I'll outline here. I have some ambivalence about this; as I said, I think the SBL should have a coherent communication and social media strategy that involves communicating directly with the entire membership rather than hoping that certain individuals (such as myself) will convey the leadership's rationale for them. But I've been vocal, so I also feel an obligation to tell everyone what has happened since my last post.
So we talked about and disagreed about many things.
We talked about why the RBL board was not consulted about the decision to put the publication behind a paywall. I served on the board of the North American Patristics Society for three years. I know that organization is much smaller, but (as I said to John), NAPS faces the same challenges regarding membership, revenue, and survival. I can say with 100% confidence that major decisions about NAPS publications would not be made without consulting the editors. I hope an apology to the RBL board is forthcoming, along with a pledge to make financial and administrative decisions about publications in consultation with the publications' boards in the future.
It sounded like the decision to put RBL behind a membership login was part of a larger strategy, involving the announcement I mentioned regarding new initiatives. I still don't fully understand why the RBL change was implemented immediately, rather than when these initiatives will roll out.
The society has financial considerations. Membership does not provide a steady, predictable revenue stream. Many organizations (including SBL, NAPS, and others) are concerned about whether their revenues from membership will continue at the historic levels, or whether they face a sharp decline in the future. I get that, believe me. I've served on a board, I know these are precarious times. John tells me the decision to put the RBL behind a password is part of a larger strategy to make membership more accessible and more appealing, and therefore ensure a steadier revenue stream.
The Society also believes the RBL in particular has an important role in tenure and promotion, in vetting scholarship, as I understand from the conversation. Concerns about accessibility seem to be bound up in concerns about making it general and diluted. This puzzled me for a few reasons. A major critique of the RBL recently has been that the reviewers are not fully qualified, not sufficiently scholarly. Additionally, the number of tenured and tenure track scholars in the field is falling off a cliff. Seminaries and Religious Studies programs are closing, and adjunctification is transforming the humanities labor force. The RBL can't be a publication primarily for an increasingly smaller slice of the population.
We also talked about open access, and whether advocates in the Society for open access are naive, or will be satisfied with nothing less than completely open access scholarship on all counts. I truly think most of us understand the role of a subscription journal like JBL, and that open access scholarship does not mean no-cost scholarship.
I'm still concerned that the SBL has one foot in the past. I'm concerned that the decision to try to increase the "value" of the membership through member initiatives reflects a view of an academy that no longer exists. John and I spoke a lot about the changing landscape of academia, and why people join the SBL. Members, he noted, have more of a utilitarian, contractual relationship–more and more people join because they want to go to the annual meeting, rather than because they feel a sustained, long-term relationship with the "guild." The new programs are designed in part to reinvigorate membership, as well as promote scholarship in the field.
I don't know exactly what's in the works for SBL's future, but I do know that the academic landscape has changed radically. Contingency, departmental closures, and seminary closures are all increasing, meaning that the number of people who look to SBL as a long-term professional relationship more than a tool or resource seems likely to decrease. I know this might make it tempting to think that the solution is to create "products" that people are more willing to pay for, but I think this may be faulty logic. The rising generation of scholars finds open scholarly networks more valuable than closed ones. I really support the idea of new scholarly programs sponsored by the Society but I wonder about the implementation.
John's call also came as I was reading Amy Earhart's new book Traces of the Old, Uses of the New: The Emergence of Digital Literary Studies. (Earhart's book is nothing short of phenomenal, by the way, and anyone interested in canon, archives, or humanities historiography, whether digital or analog, will be enriched by this volume. Go read it.) Earhart concludes by underscoring that "the very issues that make DH unique within the humanities—collaboration, real time scholarship, open access, restructuring of academic higherarchies—are exactly the structural and infrastructural points of tension with traditional humanists." (126) This impulse, I believe, drives much of the emerging generation of scholars in biblical studies and early Christian and Jewish studies. These same values drive most of the people who emailed me and Tweeted or reposted to Facebook my letter about the RBL, and most of these people would not necessarily identify as "digital humanists."
DH has become another important intellectual home for me in large part because I espouse these principles. Thus I remain concerned that the Society still has not fully embraced the consequences of monumental shifts in our scholarly landscape. John assures me that the Society has, and that the new initiatives to be announced this year will increase collaborative scholarship and access to new knowledge in our field.
I am simultaneously eager and cautious. Eager to see what my colleagues have dreamed up for us, because the Society creates some transformative things; Bible Odyssey, for example, has been wonderful. Cautious, because I came away from our talk convinced that the chasm between leadership and the membership is wider than I thought.
As Earhart argues, what is most transgressive about digital scholarship—most threatening—is the way it is done, not necessarily what is done. And so, I hope that the Society will not only provide new "products" for members, but will wholly transform the way in which it communicates and operates. Open communication, a commitment to inclusive practices, facilitating open scholarly networks, care and support for vulnerable members. These are the things I hope we see alongside new resources when the forthcoming initiatives are announced.

Pulses: Pulses are a great source of protein, complex (healthy) carbohydrates, several B vitamins, vitamin K, calcium, iron and zinc. They offer an excellent nutrition package and contain natural phenolic compounds and carotenoids that are responsible for their colour. Brown, black and red colours mean significantly more powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties than pale colours such as white, yellow and light green. These different pigments have been linked to their different health-protective assets such as a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes and even cancer. Different colours of pulses indicate different nutrient profiles. So focus on getting a little of each colour of pulse in your diet every day to maximise the nutritional benefits.
Fruits: Eating an array of colours just ensures that you get the benefits of each of them. Red fruits, such as watermelon, strawberries and cherries are likely to be rich in antioxidants like lycopene and anthocyanins. Most orange and yellow fruits like oranges and mangoes are rich in beta-carotene which your body converts to vitamin A. They are good for eyes, skin, teeth and bone health. They also contain folate, an antioxidant that may prevent neural defects in unborn infants. Blue and purple fruits like blueberries contain anthocyanins, natural plant pigments with powerful antioxidant properties that may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. They contain flavonoids and ellagic acid, compounds that may destroy cancer cells. Anthocyanins and ellagic acid in blue and purple hued fruits also contain anti-inflammatory properties that have been shown to prevent or fight various types of cancers. White fruits like banana, apple and pear have dietary fiber in high quantity, helping to protect from high cholesterol. They also contain antioxidant-rich flavonoids that may lower your risk of stroke.
Vegetables: Eating vegetables daily will improve your health but healthy eating is not only about how many serving you eat. It is about the variety you pick. Eat a diet of colourful vegetables. Your different meals should include a range of vegetables in varying hues. Vegetables contain little fat, sodium and cholesterol. They provide fiber, nutrients and complex carbohydrates. Green vegetables are good for your eyes, bones and teeth and their vitamin K content helps your blood to clot properly. These veggies are rich in source of antioxidant vitamins particularly vitamin C and E, that may lower your risk of chronic diseases. They provide the phytonutrients leutin and zeaxanthin, which may protect you from vision loss due to macular degeneration. Purple vegetables such as brinjal and beet contain anthocyanins and ellagic acid that may reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and destroy cancer cells in the lungs, stomach, breast, pancreas, oesophagus and colon. White vegetables like radish are high in dietary fiber helping you to protect from high cholesterol. Orange and yellow veggies like carrots and bells peppers are rich in beta-carotene that helps in improving night vision and keep teeth, bone and skin healthy. Red vegetables like tomatoes and red capsicum are rich in antioxidants – like lycopene and anthocyanins that help your body to make vitamin A.
Grains: Eating an array of colours in grains just ensures that you get the benefit of all of them. Each grain giving its own different hue has its own little specialities. For example, white-hued oats are high in manganese, essential to the formation of bones and cartilages and to many other functions. Tan or brown in colour, whole wheat is rich in selenium that helps regulate thyroid function and prevent cellular damage from free radicals. Light brown coloured whole barley is highest in fiber and multi-coloured variety in quinoa trumps them all in folate. So, how can we say which one is healthiest? Eating should be a pleasurable experience with an array of colourful variety in whole grains category.
Nuts and seeds: Nuts and seeds have been part of the human diet since Palaeolithic times. A few nuts such as almonds, walnuts and seeds, namely flax and chia, get most of the glory, but the fact is that each nut and seed brings something beneficial to the table. They all are a rich source of heart-healthy fats, fiber, plant-protein, essential vitamins and minerals and other bioactive compounds, including an array of phytochemicals that appear to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties giving every seed and nut a different hue and thus different nutrient composition. The whole colourful variety – white, brown, light brown, black, cream, yellow asks you to consume almonds, Brazil nuts, cashew nuts, chia seeds, flax seeds (ground), hazelnuts (Filberts), hemp seeds, peanuts, pecans, pistachio nuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and walnuts so as to enjoy a variety of health benefits that are essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Do not worry! Every single meal of yours need not be multi-coloured. Of course! You can complement every menu by adding a plate of salad with different coloured veggies. Eating an array of hues means getting a wide range of different grains, seeds, nuts, legumes and pulses, fruits and vegetables in varying colours over the course of a week. The most vibrantly coloured plant foods have the most nutrition. A colourful, balanced diet is linked with good health. If you base your diet largely on a rainbow of plant-based minimally processed whole foods, fruits and vegetables, there is no need to count calories. Relax with family and friends while enjoying these healthy and delicious foods which are not only a treat to your taste buds but to your eyes as well.
The colourful variety in vegetarian food is always better than monotony, to achieve a broader array of health.

Big Pharma Has a Big PR Problem
It's one of the least-respected industries in America.
It's no surprise that the public doesn't have much trust for "big pharma" — the industry's questionable practices have inspired countless parodies and a sea of sputtering editorials. But just how big of a reputation problem does the pharmaceutical industry have? According to Harris Poll's latest Reputation Quotient study, it's officially not pretty.
The poll has big pharma ranked ninth out of 14 industries, landing just above another much-maligned practice perceived to put profits above the people it is meant to protect: insurance companies.
So exactly what has landed this industry — whose main purpose is (supposed to be) creating medications with the potential to save and improve lives — in such murky water?
Two major marketing strategies on which big pharma has long relied take most of the credit. The first is direct-to consumer advertising; it's nearly impossible to get through an entire TV show without at least one drug commercial featuring a personified depression cloud or a bad metaphor for erectile dysfunction. And many legitimate concerns have been raised about how this type of blanket targeting may be changing the doctor/patient relationship and the act of prescribing medication for the worse.
The second is the hugely expensive and poorly disclosed practice of marketing to doctors. This strategy runs the gamut from drug reps buying lunch for every employee in a medical office to a drug company paying large sums to have doctors serve as "thought leaders" who push certain drugs on other doctors by taking them out to dinner to "discuss" new products.
What can the industry do to regain the public's trust? We're aware that, unless legislation is someday passed to force the industry's hand, neither of the above marketing strategies are likely to change. But might reforming these practices, as some have suggested, make any headway?
"We are talking about companies that deal with people's health," Mark Kessel, a private equity firm cofounder, once told Forbes. "They can certainly change the tenor of those ads and make them much more informational for patients."
But even if it's a small step in the right direction, would replacing the green, incandescent, sleep-inducing moths and frowning depression clouds with actual information be enough? If the below segment from a recent episode of John Oliver's Last Week Tonight is any indication, we're thinking… no.

CARACAS, March 2 (Reuters) - Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA'S total revenues fell 27 percent to $88.5 billion in 2015, while its total financial debt dropped 4 percent to $43.9 billion, according to government documents published this week by congress.
The Oil Ministry's annual report also said the OPEC nation's export revenue fell 40 percent, or $38.5 billion, last year due to the plunge in global oil prices.
The full report was published on the opposition-controlled National Assembly's website after its presentation by Eulogio Del Pino, the oil minister and PDVSA head (tinyurl.com/h5nxrw5)
PDVSA's profit in 2015 was $8.5 billion, down from $11.1 billion the previous year, according to the report, whose figures were unaudited. Debt to providers fell 3 percent to $20 billion. (Reporting by Andrew Cawthorne and Eyanir Chinea; Editing by Leslie Adler)

Voicing concern over lack of elected local bodies in Puducherry, Lt Governor Kiran Bedi on Saturday told the government "to be serious about rural development and remove technical impediments to holding Panchayat polls for holistic development."
She said she felt sorry that the present system of having Commune Panchayat Commissioners with "thin staff and no resources is leading to neglect of rural Puducherry."
In a message circulated to reporters through WhatsApp, the former IPS officer contended that the government should focus on rural development "by creating grass-root people's accountability by their participation."
"How else will issues like sand smuggling, water harvesting, open defection-free programme, skill development, parents teachers associations' activities, school education, desilting of water bodies, empowerment of youth and self-help groups happen in Puducherry," she asked the administration.
Bedi said that if the government "is serious about rural development it must take initiatives to remove technical impediments to holding Panchayat elections."
All political parties "need to come together on this if they want long term benefit of Puducherry. This would also check migration (of people) to urban areas and save agriculture too," she added.
The Lt Governor said the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act could also be more effective and lasting assets could be created with systematic oversight. "All this requires collective political will and bureaucratic support in implementation. I am sorry I am not seeing this on ground. It is not a criticism but a concern. Seeking funds from the government would be easy once we have Panchayat systems in place," she said.
Meanwhile, Bedi who is now in Delhi called on Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh. She wrote on her Twitter handle that she apprised the Home Minister of issues in the Union Territory and "what we need to do to improve matters for the good of Puducherry." She, however, did not elaborate on what issues she brought to the notice of the union minister.
Bedi has been at loggerheads with the Congress-led ministry on various issues resulting in strong reactions from Chief Minister V Narayanasamy and Welfare Minister M Kandasamy on the issue relating to development of port here.

Chelsea's chances of signing Danny Drinkwater have been given a massive boost this morning as his current club Leicester City prepare to bring in Sporting Lisbon midfielder Adrien Silva, reports the Mirror.
According to the Telegraph, Chelsea had a bid of £15 million rejected by the Foxes this week as the London club look to bolster their midfield options after the departures of Nemanja Matic and Nathaniel Chalobah this summer.
Earlier this week, Sky Sports broke the news that Drinkwater had handed in a transfer request in order to push through a move to Stamford Bridge. However, the same source reported that the 2016 Premier League champions were not looking to sell one of their best players.
Yet, with less than 24 hours of the transfer window remaining, Antonio Conte and Chelsea have been given a major boost in their attempts to sign the England international as the Mirror report that Leicester have agreed a deal to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Adrien Silva.
Chelsea are yet to agree a deal for Drinkwater, however it appears that a deal could now happen. Fingers crossed!

Moody, Introspective, and Definitely Not 'American'
The American feels too experimental, too outside the norm to draw in the casual or the just curious.
There are no high octane chase scenes. There's merely some elaborate slow burn cat and mouse set inside the antique walls of an ancient Italian city. There's also no viable villain, though our hero does spend a lot of time trying to avoid some gun totting baddies as well as his own brooding dysfunctional personality. There's also limited contact with the outside world, most of the suspense coming directly from our lead's crisis of conscience and his inability to be intimate. Toss in numerous nude scenes featuring a fetching Mediterranean starlet, a major superstar mancrush at the helm, and a savvy artist turned filmmaker behind the lens and you've got the makings of The American, a film destined to be loathed or loved by those expecting thrills, but winding up with something completely different and unique.
We first meet "Jack" on holiday in Sweden, a 'friend' and lover in his bed. Within moments, his rest has been hijacked by killers bent on ending his life. Taking matters into his own hands, the trained assassin is soon on the run, looking to contact point Pavel for help. He suggests a small town in the mountains of Italy. Rejecting the first location, Jack winds up in a sleepy little burg in Abruzzo with intimate coffee shops, a kindly priest, and an active brothel. There, our hitman meets Clara, a hooker who seems more honest than most. Hoping to get out of this life once and for all, Jack agrees to one more job - and this time, he doesn't even have to pull the trigger. Unfortunately, building a specialty weapon for a mysterious woman named Mathilde may indeed be his final hurrah - figuratively and literally.
You can tell almost immediately that The American is not going to be your typical genre entry. Call it the anti-thriller or "inaction" film and you've got some idea of what the collaboration of Clooney and director Anton Corbijn is going for. This is a meditation on a life lived without any close contact, where everyone is a potential danger and decisions about who to let in and who to destroy are quick and qualitative. From its foreign cast (Clooney is the only recognizable face among a small, intimate company) to the decision to keep most of the set-pieces isolated and unobtrusive, we get something that your average mainstream movie fan will definitely fuss over. They want to see their star in full bore bad-ass mode. What they get instead is a thoughtful, frustrating performance that borders on the sad instead of the suave.
This is Clooney aging gracefully, moving away from big budget stunt spectacle to focus instead on character and atmosphere - and he finds a perfect collaborator in Corbijn. A long time music video staple, the famed photographer brings his international aesthetic to the project, purposefully avoiding the elements that many recognize as part of the crime/espionage category. Instead, he wants to settle on the quieter moments, on the introspective sequences where Clooney's Jack realizes how empty and unavoidably doomed his life really is. Juxtaposed against the old world charms of a perfect hideaway and the ethereal, carnal physicality of local call girl Clara, we get the yin and yang of the professional - beauty all around, blood the only result.
Corbijn's control is amazing, considering the unspoken knowledge that the audience is antsy for bigger and bombastic. He will allow the camera to capture a fog-swept cityscape, or follow Clooney's car as it makes the regular pilgrimage to a far off phone booth. This is a movie of specific visual beats - the twisting mountain roadways, the narrow stone alleys of the walled city, the one sentence phone conversations that rarely provide any information or comfort, the lingering nude shoots of Ms. Violante Placido. Forty years ago, this would be called revolutionary, a purposeful deconstruction of the archetypes necessary to make a conspiratorial good vs. evil experience. Now, it plays like a smug star turn, a huge celebrity's ability to trade on his fame for a turn far off the well-beaten path.
Indeed, it was smart of Corbijn and Clooney to retrofit this concept into something more solid. Seeing the macho matinee idol essaying yet another killer with scattered scruples would have been beyond dull. But that doesn't mean that The American is a revelation. Instead, it can frequently be a chore. There's an inherent interest level in what Jack is capable of, especially when we learn how skilled he is at building custom weaponry. In said DIY sequences, Corbijn finds the right combination of detail and determination. It's the lack of forward momentum elsewhere which does the movie in.
We are curious about Mathilde, even though she seems like a red herring right off the bat, and the priest offers up a nice bit of ethical diversion. The few ancillary characters we meet (a leery mechanic, a friendly America-bound friend of Clara's) are intriguing, but offer little except minor expositional earmarks. What we really need are signposts, hints as to where this nondescript narrative has been and where it is taking us. They don't have to be obvious or sprayed with bullets, but it would be nice if they were at least acknowledged. But Clooney and Corbijn are so busy painting the inner portraits and admiring the Abruzzo landscape that they forget to flesh out the plotpoints. It's not a fatal approach, just a flawed one.
As a result, The American feels too experimental, too outside the norm to draw in the casual or the just curious. Instead, it feels slightly snobbish and a tad elitist. It suggests a level of cinematic culture that few have the attention span to establish. It's magical, moody, and maddening, surreal, sensual and only semi-satisfying. Perhaps we've been so brainwashed by the micromanaged nature of modern Hollywood entertainment that it's almost impossible to appreciate a project looking to purposefully avoid such by the numbers simplicity.
But what The American forgets is that, sometimes, the stereotyping is needed. You can only push a filmgoer so far outside their known creative comfort zone before they retaliate and tune out. For their part, Clooney and Corbijn have crafted a beautiful tone poem to a life unbalance and fraught with danger. Unfortunately, it may be too unusual for those it hopes to speak to and satisfy.

Nico Rosberg on Thursday revealed he expects Michael Schumacher will still be his Mercedes teammate in 2013. German Rosberg is already signed up beyond this season, but the uncertain future of his s...
German Rosberg is already signed up beyond this season, but the uncertain future of his seven time world champion teammate is a hot topic at present.
"Right now I'm assuming that Michael is my (2013) teammate," Rosberg, 26, told Germany's Bild newspaper.
"I see no reason why he should stop."
43-year-old Schumacher, however, has only 2 points on the board so far in 2012, after a spate of car failures, incidents and penalties.
"Michael will handle the situation," Rosberg insisted. "He is driving at a very high level and better days lie ahead for him."
Force India's Paul di Resta has been named in media reports as a possible 'plan B' in the event Schumacher and Mercedes do not stay together for 2013.
"Before we think about other drivers," insisted team boss Ross Brawn, "we will decide together with Michael about his future.
"Michael is a great driver, he contributes a lot to the development of the team and is an icon of motor sports," the Briton told Germany's Sport Bild.
As for Rosberg, Brawn said the Shanghai winner - who is 17 points off the championship lead at present - is a genuine challenger for the 2012 title.
"I see no reason why not," he insisted.
"He has the skills, the composure and the right approach, and we will develop the car intensively.
"He lacks nothing," added Brawn.

You see, children, gunz are A-O-K as long as they are in the hands of "professionals" (a.k.a. the ruling-elites' jackbooted puppets & pawns). Like all statists, Soros and Obama and Bloomberg and Cuomo and Feinstein and, well, you get the idea…they're "down" with the military and their stateside militarized-counterparts (like the friendly police menz, above) having BIG, BAD weaponry and countless supplies of "cop-killer" bullets and banana flavored "clips." That way they can point all that cool stuff at the masters' ideological enemies as needed (by Law or decree).
