(2013; 28 pages)
Chapter 8 aims to provide an overview of the main tools that can stimulate pharmaceutical innovation with a focus on achieving public health objectives. The focus is in particular on those topics addressed in Chapter 8 of the 2004 Report (then titled "New Approaches to Promoting Innovation"). All topics from the 2004 Report are covered here, but the structure of this chapter is different and the scope has expanded. More specifically, a new section has been added on patient and citizen participation in priority setting. This topic was not a major part of the previous report, but there have been many developments in this area that warrant a separate section. Additionally, the focus on research priorities has been strengthened compared to the 2004 Report.
The structure of this chapter can be seen as the sequential steps from drug development to use in clinical practice. This approach has been chosen to highlight key developments in the field while not being exhaustive.
Chapter 8.1 focuses on public-private collaborations, a topic that has grown in importance since the previous report and which can assist in priority setting for early stage innovation, development and also systems improvement. Chapter 8.2 addresses the regulatory system related to market authorization and focuses on research priorities that can support current developments in the field. Chapter 8.3 on pricing and reimbursement policies has this same perspective: it identifies research priorities that can fuel current discussions about new tools and methods for setting pricing and reimbursement levels that recognize and incentivize innovation. Chapter 8.4 focuses on the opportunities that exist in the area of electronic health records (EHR) to capture the use of medicines and outcomes in clinical practice. With the increasing use of databases and new tools for analysis, this is an especially promising area that will impact on all areas covered in Chapters 6, 7 and 8.
Finally, Chapter 8.5 addresses the role of patients and citizens in priority setting. Although ways in which patients and citizens can play an optimal role in priority setting are still being explored, the movement towards more patient and citizen involvement is strongly supported. It is, however, still a field in which several research questions need to be answered.
It should be emphasized that there are many cross-links between the sections in Chapter 8 (for example, real-life data plays an increasingly important role in drug development, regulation, and pricing and reimbursement) and other chapters of this report (e.g. different disease areas in Chapter 6). Therefore, they should be viewed in conjunction. In several places these cross-links have been highlighted.

NASA evidence of a twin Sun in our solar system?
NASA evidence of a twin Sun in our solar system? – In relation to the mysterious images with a second sun captured by one of NASA´s BEHIND stereo spacecraft´s onboard cameras", namely the Behind HI-1" camera, that shows a Twin Sun or another Sun-like object materializing on a few images on Januar 5th & 6th 2010, I wrote to responsible NASA Official Joseph B. Gurman (Facility Scientist, Solar Data Analysis Center NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) April 10th 2010 and asked him for an answer about this mysterious extra sun in the images.
Below the email I send to Joseph B. Gunman:
Dear Joseph.
I have been on the SSC website and are confused because of some pictures taken by the Behind HI-1 observatory between january 5th and 6th 2010. There is specially two images that baffles me (see below) and I can´t find anything about it on nasa.gov news section nor in the Stereo Learning Center?
I may ask you this simple question: What is it? I can see some of the images leading up to these two images below shows sign of spacecraft roll, but this "object" with solar-like flares on top of it confuse me? I know you are busy and maybe you and your team are about to report on this issue, but I would love to hear a word or two from you on this particular object, or at least refer me to info about it if it exists.

Source image: http://stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/browse//2010/01/06/behind/hi1/1024/20100106_040901_s4h1B.jpg
Well, I look forward to hear from you and wish there is a simple explanation on this phenomena, thank you so much.
Brian Jørgensen
Below the email I got from Joseph B. Gunman, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center:
Hi, Mr. Jørgensen –
The STEREO coordinated observations calendar that includes that day,
http://stereo.nascom.nasa.gov/plans/plans2010.shtml ,
says, "HGA calibration, Ahead 14:00 UT, Behind 16:00 UT
Behind: SECCHI corrupted images until 4 UT,"
where HGA refers to the high gain antenna, for January 6 of this year. The entry for the previous day, January 5, includes,
"SECCHI warm restart, 21:25, corrupted images."
Thus I _suspect_ what you're seeing are areas where onboard memory has been overwritten, and various corrections may have been applied to the wrong camera's images. Thus, you appear to have combinations of an HI image, a COR1 mask, and an EUVI image (first image link), and an HI-1 and EUVI images (second link), respectively.
I'm copying this to Drs. Chris Davis (of the SECCHI HI team at Rutherford Appleton Lab) and Bill Thompson here at Goddard so they can correct or amplify on my barely-educated guess.
Joe Gurman
"I love deadlines. I love the whooshing sound they make as they go by."
– Douglas Adams, 1952 – 2001
Joseph B. Gurman, Solar Physics Laboratory, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt MD 20771 USA
Below the email I got from Dr C. J. Davis, STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory:
Dear Mr Jørgensen,
Thanks for your interest in the STEREO images. I thought it would be useful to confirm that Joe's explanation is correct. Such corrupted images do look very strange as they are effectively a double-exposure of different subjects.
Kind regards,
Dr C. J. Davis
STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory
Chilton, OX11 0QX, UK
Below the email I got from William Thompson, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center:
I added a page about this on our artifacts page at
under the heading "Corrupted and blank images".
Bill Thompson
Subsequent discovery reveals the truth
After I wrote this article, I found that the real reason for these weird pictures, was exactly as Joe Gurman had explained – two cameras mixing their images in the memory. I made a search for images taken with other cameras onboard the spacecraft and stumpled upon BEHIND EUVI 304 and here I found two similar photos matching the two first images above. They had the same solar flares close at the same hour as the corrupted images above. The deal is, that you have to turn the images 90 degrees to the right to get a near perfect match, with only three minutes' difference. The Sun you see in the pictures below, are the same Sun you see in the pictures above! So we can safely conclude, that we have no twin Sun in our solar system, not what we are aware of. And think about it, a second Sun so close to the stereo spacecraft that it can get a closeup photo, would have made havoc in the solar system and posed a serious threat to our survival here on earth. We would have known for sure…

What can we learn from this? Well, it´s not a good idea to freak out because you are looking at a strange (corrupted) image you haven´t seen before. Lots of things can happen to the images and at first glance some images can look strange, but as usual there´s an explanation to the most cases and this case was one of them. Thanks to Joe Gurman, Dr. C. J. Davis and Bill Thompson for their helpful replies.

I really do love my job. And I love getting a second chance to try out new ideas on past designs. Last year a client ordered a baseball themed dessert table for her son's bar mitzvah, which was our first foray into the major leagues:
Baseball: Strike One
And this is our sporty table from this weekend for a lovely repeat client and her daughter's softball team end of season party. Their team name "Purple Power" was reflected in the color palette and we had a great time coming up with new baseball themed goodies to flex our design muscles. Below are the pictures from the party. Enjoy!
Talk about a score! These three baseball helmets were found at the thrift store (originally red, dirty and scuffed) for less than five bucks a pop. A fresh coat of spray paint and some hand cut decals and voila! Team helmets! The perfect props.
Cotton candy cones.
Make sure you put yours out at the very last minute just before guests arrive or they will start to dissolve with any ambient moisture in the air, like ours did. I had to make an emergency cotton candy run to replace our soggy, sugary mess before the softball team arrived.
Personalized baseball card cookies.
I love these baseball cards of the girls on the team we created. I contacted the hostess and asked her for a short description of each player (skin and hair color, along with length and style). We packaged them up along with a sugar cookie stick of pink bubble gum and sealed them up with the team logo. Great take home favors.
The team.
This gum guaranteed less stale than the real thing.
These were a home run!
Mounds candy for our "Pitcher's Mounds Cakes"
Pennant flag cookies.
Nacho sugar cookies.

Right out of college [Dylan Ladds and I] started working on a full-length documentary [THE GRANITE STOKE, about New Hampshire's surfing community]. We decided along the way to make short films, to keep people interested.
New England Blood was just selected to be in the SAN DIEGO SURF FILM FESTIVAL, May 8 to 12. We're trying to make surf videos that aren't about surfing. It's a weird thing. Everyone is together because of the surfing, but the wave can be the least important part of it. Most surf videos are much more about the action or the maneuvers or how good you can make the surfers look. Because [New Hampshire's coast] is such a small area, THE PLACE IS WHAT MAKES THE COMMUNITY. We're trying to get across some feeling of what it's like to be there.
A lot has to do with THE COLD AND THE INCONSISTENCY OF THE SWELLS. If you're really a surfer, you're going to surf a hundred times a year, and 200 times, and you're going to go out when it's terrible, when there's no one else there. That's where a lot of that sort of solitude comes in.
The title New England Blood comes from Dave Cropper, the owner of Cinnamon Rainbows, the main surf shop in New Hampshire. He worked for a while in a shop in California, and then he came back. One of the things we asked him was "Why did you come back?" And he said, "There's just something in your blood. YOU HAVE NEW ENGLAND IN YOUR BLOOD." In order for you to stay here and really want it — there has to be something that you just can't separate yourself from. — As told to Benita Hussain

Start using Google Alerts, Whitevector, Radian6, Statsit or whatever tool to listen what people are talking in world wide web. Now, don't get mad if you are not getting the feedback you would like. Remember, this is a chance to develop your company. Be careful: gather data from different sources and analyze your whole web presence! One very simple tip: put share buttons to your website with AddThis.com and integrate the analytics part with Google Analytics.
Analyzing part is the most important one in order to improve your (online) business. If you don't have time or knowledge to do that...well, that's our business and we are glad to help. You can contact me through these channels any time. Analysis is the ground where you start planning. When you start planning how to use social media, bring (marketing) communications of your organization on the table. Someone in your company must know what is the public information you are publishing to the world - when you are doing it and who's doing it.
What kind of public information you may already own? How you can get more material from your community? That's your company people, customers, partners, friends etc. In this point you should know what are the possible social media platforms / services or channels, like I use to say. This conversation prism by Brian Solis is super to get the whole picture of social media channels.
Then comes the hardest part. When you plan something, whether it's a campaign, your website or social media, start with the purpose and goals. What are we trying to gain and why? There are plenty of chances how you can engage with people and benefit from it. You can recruit, you can do product & service development and first of all: you can help people (to buy). Know your point and then it's quite easy to define the right key performance indicators. Macro goals can be e.g. number of applicants to certain position or number of new ideas. Micro goals are e.g. number of people who liked or shared the new position or number of new conversations or posts in services forum.
Now you should have an idea how to measure social media right and that is, against your goals / purpose. When you do the previous task you should be able to tell who are the people in your organization which should especially be involved in social media. But beware: in order to get full benefit, get as much people involved as you can. And remember: benefits won't come over night - you should have a long and consistent plan to do things over a timeline (a year perhaps).
You know how to monitor and measure social media, you know what material you will publish and you have a plan and people to do that. (this is called management). Go on and execute that plan! : ) I know, I know...it's not that easy and there may be some holes in your way. But hey, this is what the leadership is. Don't work alone! Start training executives and leading top down - I'm sure it will pay you back.
If you liked this post, please do me a favor and share this to your colleague or your boss. Like always, feel free to comment. Be social and write down your thoughts. If you want to attend to this social media training, you can get a discount code from me.

Criminal Justice and Drug Abuse
Brief Description
Drug abuse is implicated in at least three types of drug-related offenses: (1) offenses defined by drug possession or sales, (2) offenses directly related to drug abuse (e.g., stealing to get money for drugs), and (3) offenses related to a lifestyle that predisposes the drug abuser to engage in illegal activity, for example, through association with other offenders or with illicit markets. Individuals who use illicit drugs are more likely to commit crimes, and it is common for many offenses, including violent crimes, to be committed by individuals who had used drugs or alcohol prior to committing the crime, or who were using at the time of the offense.

Christopher Nolan Gossip
Christopher Nolan gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
What is Tenet?
YouTube/ Warner Bros. Pictures
Christopher Nolan is one of the last big-name directors who can get butts in seats based on his name alone. He doesn't have to tell us what his movies are about or even, really, who is in them (although he attracts star-studded casts, so Nolan casting announcements are always headlines). Just take his latest movie, Tenet. Full Story

Matthew McConaughey received the American Cinematheque Award last night in Hollywood and it was a strong turnout. The timing is great too.

Interstellar and Dylan Thomas

Christopher Nolan and Matthew McConaughey were at Comic-Con this year to present the new trailer for Interstellar. It was a first time for both. Nolan's one of those directors who doesn't give anything away before a film's release. Scripts are said to be hand delivered and actors supposedly have to read them while the person waits outside so that there are never any copies that can potentially be leaked. Full Story

UEFA said Wednesday that the champions of England and France only have to include five home-trained players in their 21-man squads next season instead of the expected eight. Only one of the five players needs to be trained by the club itself.MINNEAPOLIS -- Rick Adelman trudged off the basketball court for maybe the final time in his professional life and he couldnt hide the disappointment. He was sure his Minnesota Timberwolves were going to respond in the season finale, finishing a year of unmet expectations on a high note against the lowly Utah Jazz. Instead, one of the most respected coaches of his generation watched his team deliver a lacklustre performance that in no way resembled the precise, sophisticated game Adelman has been known for over the last quarter century. Trey Burke scored a career-high 32 points to go with nine assists and seven rebounds and the Jazz avoided the worst record since moving to Utah 35 years ago with a 136-130 double overtime victory over the Timberwolves on Wednesday night. "Just disappointed," a crestfallen Adelman said. "I really thought we were going to win this game. I thought wed come out and play a lot harder, with more energy, and it didnt happen." Gordon Hayward had 23 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, and Derrick Favours added 21 points and 12 boards for the Jazz (25-57), who would have tied the worst record since the team relocated in 1979 with a loss. They also snapped a five-game losing streak and won for just the fourth time in their last 25 games. "Its way better than going out in defeat," Burke said. "Obviously, it doesnt mean much, but its our job. Like Coach (Tyrone) Corbin said, Every time you step on the court, you represent yourself and you want to put on a good showing. I think we did that." Kevin Martin scored 36 points for the Timberwolves (40-42), who missed a chance to finish with their first non-losing record since 2005. Kevin Love scored 19 points on 4-for-15 shooting in what could be Adelmans last game as an NBA coach. The Jazz were cruising with a 19-point lead in the first quarter and a 13-point lead with 10 minutes to play. But Martin scored 14 of his points in the last 5:35 of the game to bring the Wolves roaring back. His free throws with 57 seconds to play tied the game at 107, and Love missed a step-back jumper at the buzzer that would have won it. Jeremy Evans had a career-high 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Jazz and Burke drilled a 3-pointer with one minute to play in double overtime for a 130-125 lead. The Wolves allowed the Jazz to shoot 49 per cent, missed 12 free throws, and Lovee, who also had 10 rebounds and nine assists, was 1 for 9 from 3-point range. Mats Hummels Bayern Munich Jersey. "If this was coachs last hurrah, its very disappointing," Martin said. "When you dont show up the first three quarters, thats what happens." Adelmans contract has a mutual option for next season. The 67-year-old coach resisted several opportunities to reveal his plans, only saying he would meet with owner Glen Taylor and President Flip Saunders, likely on Thursday, to come to a conclusion. It is widely expected that Adelman will not return. "Ive been doing this a long time and I will say this, every year it does get harder," Adelman said. "The travel gets hard. You always evaluate it every year as you go through. But you also understand you have a job that people would die for and Ive been lucky to have the job for over 20 years. Ive got to really look at it and evaluate and talk to everybody." Things are just as murky for Corbin in Utah. He completed his fourth season on the bench and has presided over a massive rebuild that hasnt given him much of a chance to pile up victories. The Jazz lost 21 of their last 25 games of the season and their fans were worried more about Utahs lottery chances than anything else. A loss wouldve left the Jazz with the fourth-worst record in the league. But because they won and Boston lost, the Jazz are tied with the Celtics, which will bring a coin flip tie-breaker before the draft lottery is held to determine who will have the greater chance to move up. The Jazz certainly didnt play to lose on Wednesday night. "Its a positive note to go out on, we got a lot of room to grow though, and we got to make sure we understand what gave us a chance to win tonight, thats staying together, working hard together, making sure were focused on the attention to details," Corbin said. NOTES: Hayward finished the season as the second player in Jazz history to average at least 16 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists in a season, joining Pete Maravich. ... Jazz C Enes Kanter sat out with right quadriceps tendinitis. ... Wolves G J.J. Barea missed the game with back spasms. ... Love crossed the 2,000-point threshold for the first time in his career with a pair of free throws late in the second quarter. He became the first player in NBA history with at least 2,000 points, 900 rebounds and 100 3-pointers in one season.

DaleJ brauchte ein neues Print oder Verpackung Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 34 Designs von 11 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
In need of a well designed, 1 page, colorful (but must also look great when printed on black/white printer) Nice List Guide (lists the 10 ways for a child to ensure they make it onto Santa's Nice List). Be creative, think like a kid!.. make it something kids will absolutely love! The purpose is to allow the child to visually see the things he/she needs to do to earn a Nice Certificate from Santa. Should be much focus on an area set aside for the child's full name, and focus on the actual list of 10 items. (we pay using Paypal, or Xoom.com)
We have a website that creates custom packages from Santa for children (www.PackageFromSanta.com ). We have devised a great promotional item that we would like to give away to our loyal customers. It is a free, personalized, downloadable, "Nice List Guide" for their child (I.e.: Nice List Handbook. Top 10 Ways to Earn a Nice Certificate, etc).It will be an 8 ½ X 11 page that lists the top 10 ways to ensure a child makes it on Santa's Nice List (and thus, earns a Nice Certificate). The concept is that the parent can go to our website, enter the child's name into an HTML field, select 10 entries (from pulldowns, or custom text) then hit enter… when they submit the name, a PDF document will open up, displaying the custom Nice List Guide page (which you have cleverly designed). The "Nice List Guide" will have the child's name on it, and list the 10 ways to make it onto the Nice List… it will be ready to print. Whola! The child has his/her own personalized guide for making it onto Santa's Nice List. This will ensure they are good all year (or at least until Christmas!) They can pin it to the fridge, or in their room… reminding them to be good, and helping to build the anticipation and excitement of receiving a Nice Certificate from Santa at Christmas!
- Here is a quick sample for reference image to help explain what we need… (although it doesn't have to look ANYTHING LIKE THIS! http://www.packagefromsanta.com/Nic…ample.html )
- Must be in 8 ½ X 11 format for print (300 dpi)
- May be horizontal, or vertical format
- We will need layered Photoshop final for final art
- Full color (RGB is fine) BUT, must also look great when printed on black and white laser printer.
- List the 10 ways to make it onto Santa's Nice List (the actual text will be decided by the parents entries previously)
- Be visually stunning and fun for children
- Can contain the many elements of Christmas (Santa, Rudolph, Elves, etc… get fun with this) Maybe it looks like a page ripped out of Santa's Official Nice List Guide Book? Dunno… you're the creative one! :)
- MUST contain a blank area for the child's name to appear (we will place name with stock font into that particular area)
- MUST contain area(s) for the list of 10 things
- We are also promoting a free calendar (view that contest here: http://99designs.com/contests/10666
- Great resource for reference and stock imagery: Istockphoto.com
- Messy, non-thought out designs
- Evil, dark, or otherwise creepy designs
- If it's lame, boring, or amateurish.... please don't bother submitting it. (we have high standards) :)

Thursday morning, the Oscar nominations come out. To mentally prepare you, here are our predictions for the eight major categories.
Best Adapted Screenplay
Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope, Philomena
Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke, and Julie Delpy, Before Midnight
Billy Ray, Captain Phillips
John Ridley, 12 Years a Slave
Terence Winter, The Wolf of Wall Street
An oddly weak category, hurt by the fact that everyone hates Tracy Letts's August: Osage County. The nod to Before Midnight is indicative of respect for that movie and a lack of quality options.
Dark horse: The Spectacular Now. Everyone who has seen it loves it, but few have.
Probable winner: 12 Years A Slave
Best Original Screenplay
Woody Allen, Blue Jasmine
Alfonso Cuaron and Jonas Cuaron, Gravity
Spike Jonze, Her
Bob Nelson, Nebraska
David O. Russell and Eric Singer, American Hustle
The major snub here—and the film that I suspect is going to be nearly ignored at the Oscars this year despite near-universal critical praise—is Inside Llewyn Davis. The elderly Academy members, if voter screenings are to be believed, just don't get it. I think Gravity or Nebraska steals its spot.
Dark horse: Dallas Buyers Club. It very well might win two acting Oscars, so it could sneak in here as well.
Probable winner: American Hustle.
Best Supporting Actress
Sally Hawkins, Blue Jasmine
Jennifer Lawrence, American Hustle
Lupita Nyongo, 12 Years A Slave
June Squibb, Nebraska
Oprah Winfrey, Lee Daniels' The Butler
Another unusually weak category. In any normal year, Oprah wouldn't have much of a chance here, but the field is thin.
Dark horse: It's odd to consider Julia Roberts a dark horse in anything, but she's the most likely person outside these five to slip in.
Probable winner: Jennifer Lawrence, American Hustle.
Best Supporting Actor
Barkhad Abdi, Captain Phillips
Bradley Cooper, American Hustle
Michael Fassbender, 12 Years A Slave
Jonah Hill, The Wolf of Wall Street
Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers Club
This category, however, is stacked, even though the eventual winner is considered an obvious lock at this point. Also: Jonah Hill is about to be a two-time Oscar nominee.
Dark horse: Daniel Bruhl of Rush was extremely well-received in an underrated film, and there's still some hope that James Gandolfini could earn a posthumous nod for Enough Said.
Probable winner: Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers Club
Best Director
Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity
Paul Greengrass, Captain Phillips
Spike Jonze, Her
Steve McQueen, 12 Years A Slave
David O. Russell, American Hustle
Four definite locks here (Cuaron, Greengrass, McQueen, and Russell) with a mad scramble for that last slot. Though until the end of time, we'll all be doing the "But Ben Affleck was left out for Argo, so you never know!" caveat.
Dark horse: Fighting for that last spot: Woody Allen, Alexander Payne, Martin Scorsese, and, who knows, maybe a "well, some of us liked your movie" nod to the Coen brothers.
Probable winner: David O. Russell, American Hustle
Best Actress
Amy Adams, American Hustle
Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine
Sandra Bullock, Gravity
Judi Dench, Philomena
Meryl Streep, August: Osage County
If you get only one category in your entire pool right come Oscar night, it should be this one: Catch Blanchett is as big of a lock as this category has ever had. She is about to become the sixth person to win an Oscar in a Woody Allen movie. (Michael Caine, Diane Keaton, Mira Sorvino, Penelope Cruz, and Dianne Wiest, twice.)
Dark horse: Not that it matters, but if Oscar voters are tired of Streep, Emma Thompson has a chance, though no one likes her movie either.
Probable winner: Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine
Best Actor
Bruce Dern, Nebraska
Leonardo DiCaprio, The Wolf of Wall Street
Chiwetel Ejiofor, 12 Years A Slave
Tom Hanks, Captain Phillips
Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyers Club
Five heavy hitters here: You can legitimately see any one of these five winning. (Though if Gene Hackman had taken the Dern role as Alexander Payne had initially wanted, no one would have stopped him.)
Dark horse: This field is so stacked that Robert Redford of All Is Lost—who seemed like a likely winner just a couple of months—might not be able to crack it. Christian Bale is the lead of the movie that's going to receive the most nominations (well, that or Gravity), and he might not make it in either.
Probable winner: Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyers Club
Best Picture
American Hustle
Blue Jasmine
Captain Phillips
Dallas Buyers Club
12 Years A Slave
This category, of course, can have anything between five and 10 films listed, and even though this was widely considered one of the best movie years of the last decade, I'm not sure all 10 spots will be filled. The two closest to this list are the most polarizing among academy members, The Wolf of Wall Street and Inside Llewyn Davis, and as much as I'd like to believe one of them will get a respectful nod, I'm far from sold. It's possible, if you can believe it, that the great Inside Llewyn Davis may be shut out entirely.
Dark horse: Lee Daniels' The Butler feels like the sort of movie that inexplicably pops up here.
Probable winner: American Hustle. (Though 12 Years A Slave and Gravity still have a chance.)

I'm traveling to Boston this week, and flying my favorite airline: Virgin America. One of the perks on the flight this week is that Google is loaning out ChromeBooks to anyone who wants them for free, including free Wi-Fi. The funny thing is that despite multiple announcements, few people took them up on this free offer. As I look around the plane (where I'm writing this), a number of folks are on laptops and iPads, so it isn't as if folks didn't want to be online. Given that Android tablets haven't been doing all that well either, I think this helps illustrate a fundamental weakness in Google. Even though the company is clearly made up of people, and makes its money from advertising, Google doesn't seem to understand how to create excitement. Yet, Google+ had plenty of excitement, demonstrating that Google is capable of it. Let's explore why Google is at the root of the demand issues with Android Tablets, and why ChromeBooks are these tablets' worst enemy.
The advantage of focus
Watch Apple. The company will focus on a new product nearly exclusively until it succeeds. It waited until the iPod started to slow before bringing out the iPhone, and then largely shifted marketing to that new platform. It didn't start the iPad until the iPhone was clearly a success. The firm is methodical about driving all the way to the success of one product before moving to another.
This is the advantage of focus. Apple TV didn't get that same focus, and despite actually being the best set-top box (besides those from cable companies), it hasn't done that well. This suggests that it isn't some magic related to Apple products, but the fact that Apple drives success into its offerings, and doesn't get distracted until that drive has hit Apple's expectations.
Google tosses and prays
Google, by contrast, seems to have a new initiative every few months. Most of these (Wave, etc.) seem to fail from lack of interest. Google doesn't drive to success, and appears to have the attention span of a small child. Android tablets aren't successful yet, but Google has already started to push ChromeBooks. Arguably, this just confuses buyers. If you think about it, even though they run on different software, the ChromeBook and Android Tablet overlap in price and their connectivity advantages. But having two very different software platforms both splits developers and confuses the buyer, reducing demand and benefitting Apple, which looks simple by comparison. If you add a keyboard to an iPad, you effectively get the benefits of an Android Tablet and a Chromebook in one product, and you only have to live in one interface. Developers have an easy choice.
If Google had been giving out Android tablets on the plane, rather than ChromeBooks, more passengers likely would have taken them. Android tablets dovetail with the iPad's success, while the ChromeBooks look too much like the early failed netbook effort. People aren't taking the Google offer because, even for free, it isn't worth it for them. They just don't see the value because Google hasn't first created any demand for a new product, and what demand there is focused on the iPad.
Google's problem
The irony here is that Steve Jobs actually mentored the Google founders, who just seemed to steal Apple's product ideas but clearly didn't grasp the more important information: how to build and sustain demand for new technology products.

Central Florida's 25 year old new rising star Marvin Lawrence is
spreading his talent through a fresh exciting new style that many
artists have not yet thought to approach in Hip Hop. His inspirations
have come from the many different styles and genre of music and
people including Michael Jackson Journey and his father Anthony
Lawrence which have molded him into the ingenious artist he is today.
Born in Auburndale Fl. Marvin Lawrence is the youngest son of Anthony
and Ella Lawrence growing up in the company of his siblings moving
around a lot following his father in his career. Traveling to many
towns and cities has given the advantage to connect with all types and
ages of people being able to relate to any situation and
circumstance. Having first-hand experience with instruments such as
the trombone playing from the ages of nine to eighteen singing in
chorus performances along with acting experience this incomparable
old soul will soar to new heights for the new genre he crafts.
After the death of Michael Jackson Marvin Lawrence knew that his
purpose in life was something bigger. Following the footsteps of his
mentor Lawrence hopes to touch the lives of people all around the
world. His goal to have his fans turn to his music on in times when
they have felt troubled raged joyful or who just want to throw on a
hit having them know he knows exactly what his fans are feeling to
cherish each fan whole heartedly.

Story highlights
- The Supreme Court probably will decide in June on Federal Trade Commission v. Actavis
- Arthur Caplan, Zachary Caplan: Big Pharma has kept prescription drug prices high
- Caplans: The court's decision will affect our escalating national health care bill for drugs
- They say the Supreme Court should end pay-for-delay and encourage market competition
Whether you are young or old, man or woman, very healthy or quite sick, it is almost a certainty that you are going to use a prescription drug in the next year or two. These medicines are crucial for preventing diseases and treating all sorts of ailments and problems.
They are also expensive -- really expensive. For example, the best-selling drug of all time, Pfizer's cholesterol lowering drug Lipitor, went for $3.50 per pill and up before going generic in late 2011. But these days some retail chains are giving away generic Lipitor while the rest are charging barely 50 cents a pill.
Prescription drugs cost Americans far more than they do people living in many other parts of the world. This is because drug companies spend a fortune on direct-to-consumer sales and marketing (which they don't do in other countries) and because other nations negotiate better deals for drugs than private insurers do in the United States.
Is there anything that can be done to lower costs and increase the availability of more affordable and equally effective drugs? Yes.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in a case that drew little attention in the media: Federal Trade Commission v. Actavis. The stakes are high.
When the court decides this case, probably in June, it will either reinforce Big Pharma shenanigans that have helped keep prices high and skyrocketing, or finally bring some relief to our pocketbook and escalating national health care bill for drugs.
The issue is whether companies that own patents for prescription drugs can pay other companies that want to make cheaper generic versions not to do so, a practice known as pay-for-delay.
One way to get lower prices on drugs is to get generic versions out to replace name-brand drugs. Generic drugs include the exact same active ingredients as the brand names. The difference is the name of the medication and the color or shape of the pill.
Prescription drug manufacturers, fearing the arrival of cheaper generics and knowing or worrying that their patents alone won't keep out competitors, try to buy off the competition instead.
In the case before the court, Solvay Pharmaceuticals is accused of paying off would-be generic manufacturers of their blockbuster drug AndroGel, a synthetic testosterone used by hundreds of thousands of AIDS patients, cancer patients, elderly men and others who suffer from low levels of testosterone. The generic companies were happy; they made money for doing nothing. Solvay continued to reap huge profits by keeping its monopoly in the market. The only losers were patients who have had to keep paying much higher prices for their name-brand-only drug.
Usually, buying off your competitors is clearly illegal. Pay-for-delay deals run counter to basic antitrust principles. Nonetheless, some lower courts, declining to evaluate the strength of a patent, have let Big Pharma get away with these deals.
Big Pharma views the settlements as a bargain. Instead of losing up to 90% of their market share bcause of the introduction of a generic, companies can simply pay generic manufacturers and make the competition go away.
A 1984 law, the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act, commonly known as the Hatch-Waxman Act, was intended to speed up lower-cost generic competition. Big Pharma has managed to completely undermine Hatch-Waxman's intent, which was to put in place mechanisms that encouraged generic drug makers to challenge the weak patents often used to protect brand-name drugs.
Unfortunately, the AndroGel case is not unique. In recent years, deals between Big Pharma and generic drug makers have delayed the introduction of a diverse range of cheaper generics including cancer drugs, AIDS treatments, blood pressure medications, antidepressants, allergy medications, sleep aids, ADD medications and more.
The Congressional Budget Office says pay-for-delay tactics cost consumers billions of dollars and the Federal Trade Commission estimates these pay-for-delay deals will cost Americans up to $35 billion over the next 10 years.
Rep. Henry Waxman, D-California, who co-wrote the Hatch-Waxman Act, has been very vocal in arguing that a law Congress intended to help reduce the cost of prescription medicines has been hijacked by the drug industry to do the opposite.
What we have now are the generic manufacturers and Big Pharma making a fortune by agreeing to delay competition that would bring lower priced drugs to market.
A few weeks ago, the Indian Supreme Court took a hard look at the way big drug companies were using patent extensions to keep out low price competition. They said forget it—that sort of tomfoolery will not be allowed.
The U.S. Supreme Court would be wise to concur, heed the Federal Trade Commission's complaint and bring pay-for-delay to an abrupt end.
The right prescription for making medicines cheaper and better is to encourage competition, not stifle it with backroom deals where everyone gets a great deal except for the patients.

Panasonic and Pelco Enter Interoperability Effort.
Secaucus, NJ (February 24, 2009) – Panasonic System Solutions Company and Pelco have aligned under the Panasonic Solution Developer Network (PSDN) in an effort to expand the interoperability of both companies' video surveillance solutions to best serve the needs of customers. As a new PSDN member, Pelco plans to support Panasonic's i-Pro network camera lineup under its enterprise-class IP-based video security system and management platforms. The joint effort reflects both companies' commitment to interoperability and meeting the market demand for integrated security solutions at the enterprise level.
Pelco currently supports Panasonic i-Pro network cameras with its Digital Sentry Digital Video Management System (DVMS). Expanded interoperability efforts will focus on Pelco's Endura platform, supporting the i-Pro cameras. Panasonic and Pelco will work together to quickly accomplish the interoperability to meet existing customer demand.
"Everything we do at Panasonic System Solutions Company is about empowering customers and serving their needs,†said J.M. Allain, President, Panasonic System Solutions Company. "We are committed to an 'Open Infrastructure' and are pleased to work with Pelco and other industry suppliers to meet the demands of end users on a common platform – the IT network.â€
"Delivering open and integrated systems is a cornerstone of Pelco's product development focus,†said Dave deLisser, Director of Integration at Pelco. "We are excited about expanding our interoperability with Panasonic i-Pro cameras to our enterprise class video management systems.â€
Panasonic System Solutions created the PSDN program several years ago to develop partnerships that complement and extend its lineup of security and surveillance products to better meet both integrator and end user requirements. As part of its "Open Infrastructure†initiative, the PSDN program provides members, including Pelco, with development tools, technical information and assistance to integrate with Panasonic products. In September 2008, Panasonic announced the global expansion of its PSDN program, better enabling multinational integrators and end users with broader interoperability. Through PSDN, Panasonic is helping to provide resellers with expanded product solution offerings and end users with seamless security solutions.

The big questions buzzing over Boston Bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have a single answer: It emerged in the 102 tense hours between the twin Boston Marathon bombings Monday, April 15 – which left three dead, 180 injured and a police officer killed at MIT – and Dzohkhar's capture Friday, April 19 in Watertown.
The conclusion reached by DEBKAfile's counterterrorism and intelligence sources is that the brothers were double agents, hired by US and Saudi intelligence to penetrate the Wahhabi jihadist networks which, helped by Saudi financial institutions, had spread across the restive Russian Caucasian.
Instead, the two former Chechens betrayed their mission and went secretly over to the radical Islamist networks.
By this tortuous path, the brothers earned the dubious distinction of being the first terrorist operatives to import al Qaeda terror to the United States through a winding route outside the Middle East – the Caucasus.
This broad region encompasses the autonomous or semi-autonomous Muslim republics of Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Chechnya, North Ossetia and Karachyevo-Cherkesiya, most of which the West has never heard of.
Moscow however keeps these republics on a tight military and intelligence leash, constantly putting down violent resistance by the Wahhabist cells, which draw support from certain Saudi sources and funds from the Riyadh government for building Wahhabist mosques and schools to disseminate the state religion of Saudi Arabia.
The Saudis feared that their convoluted involvement in the Caucasus would come embarrassingly to light when a Saudi student was questioned about his involvement in the bombng attacks while in a Boston hospital with badly burned hands.
