HHS Issues New Rules on Financial Conflicts of Interest
August 29, 2011
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published new rules on August 25th on reporting financial conflicts of interest (FCOIs) by those engaged in research. The rules require institutions that receive Public Health Service (PHS) funding, including funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to comply by August 24, 2012.
The most notable revision of rules originally promulgated in 1995 lowers the monetary threshold at which significant financial interests (SFIs) require disclosure from $10,000 to $5,000. The rules also require investigators to disclose to their institutions all of their SFIs related to their institutional responsibilities. The 1995 rules defined "investigator'' as the Principal Investigator and any other person who is responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of research (or, in the case of PHS contracts, a research project) funded by PHS, or proposed for such funding.
Institutions will have to report information on FCOIs and how they are being managed. FCOI dollar amounts can be reported as a range, rather than a specific dollar amount. Permissible ranges, as stated in the rules, are $0-4,999; $5,000-9,999; and $10,000-19,999. Increments of $20,000 may be used for amounts between $20,000 and $100,000, and $50,000 increments for those above $100,000.
Additionally, the new rules require institutions to make certain information concerning financial conflicts of interest involving key personnel public either via website or, in the case of a requestor, by a written response within five business days.
Resource Page
The NIH has created a FCOI resource page that includes a summary of the major changes to the rules.

Book Description:
A dazzlingly rich and funny novel by "a real China doll" (Entertainment Weekly) Rachel DeWoskin is a writer who has been lauded for her "razor-sharp descriptions" (The Wall Street Journal), her "considerable cultural and linguistic resources" (The New Yorker), and her rare ability to offer a "real insider's look at life in modern China" (The Economist). Now DeWoskin, author of the laughout-loud funny and poignant Foreign Babes in Beijing, returns with a new novel about modern China and one American girl's struggle to find herself there. Aysha is a twenty-two-year-old New Yorker putting the pieces of her life back in place after her parents' divorce and her own nervous breakdown when a young Chinese student named Da Ge flips her world upside-down. In a love story that spans decades and continents, from the Tiananmen Square incident to 9/11, New York City's Upper West Side to the terraced mountains of South China, Repeat After Me gives readers an alternately funny and painful glimpse of life and loss in between languages.

IKEA Plans Second Proposed Boston Store in Stoughton, MA
Swedish Company Pursues Stoughton Site as Complement for Proposal Already in Somerville
Contact:Joseph Roth 610-834-0180,x6500
PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA, December 2, 2003 – IKEA, the leading home furnishings retailer, today announced its plans for a store in Stoughton, MA as an additional store in the Boston area. (One store already is approved in Somerville, MA.) Pending approval of the Stoughton project by town officials, construction could begin as early as Summer 2004, with an anticipated opening date of Summer 2005.
IKEA intends to purchase 25 acres from F.X. Messina Enterprises, a local developer, completing Merchant's Park along Route 24 at the Avon-Stoughton boundary, which is located near many home furnishing and home improvement retailers. The 350,000 square foot IKEA store would be built with approximately 1,300 parking spaces located both at-grade below the store and in a parking structure. This store would reflect the unique architectural design for which IKEA stores are known worldwide.
"We are very excited about moving forward with a second proposed store for the Boston area at this location in Stoughton," said Pat Smith, IKEA real estate director. "We know many residents of this area already are fans of IKEA, and we are working to ensure they have IKEA stores they can call their own."
In addition to offering nearly 10,000 exclusively designed items, IKEA Stoughton would feature 50 different room settings, five model homes, a supervised children's play area, as well as a 300-seat restaurant that serves Swedish specialties such as meatballs with lingonberries and salmon platters. Other family-friendly features include a Children's IKEA showroom, baby care rooms, preferred parking and play areas throughout the store.
Smith continued, "This Stoughton site represents a great opportunity for us to expand our identity in the Boston area and for us to become a significant economic contributor to the local community." In addition to 500 construction jobs, more than 400 co-workers would join the IKEA family when the new store is fully built. Also, IKEA Stoughton would generate more than $1 million in property tax benefits to the town and significant annual sales tax revenues to Massachusetts.
Another project, proposed for Somerville, has received all local approvals, but is awaiting one final state permit and court judgement on an appeal filed by a small community group. Smith explained "We are committed to the Somerville store; a store in Stoughton would be far enough from Somerville to attract other customers in the Boston area." IKEA expects the Stoughton store to open in Summer 2005.
IKEA currently has more than 185 stores in 31 countries, including 18 in the United States and 11 in Canada. The company plans to open 5 new U.S. stores a year for the next ten years. Other U.S. stores being planned include: Atlanta, GA; Bloomington, MN; Brooklyn, NY; Dublin, CA; New Haven, CT; Philadelphia, PA; Somerville, MA; Tempe, AZ; and a relocation in Houston, TX.
Since its founding in 1943, IKEA has offered a wide range of home furnishings and accessories of good design and function, at low prices so the majority of the people can afford them. IKEA is recognized as a socially responsible company, and continuously supports initiatives that benefit causes such as children, family and the environment.

Everyone, Get Over This Moron Zoe Quinn. Now.
Given that I recently saw a post about the whole 'Zoe Quinn' shebang, I feel compelled to put in an entry. I'm heavily interested in gaming and the gaming industry, and I have seen a few articles detailing the whole business. For those interested in the scandal (As I suppose I should call it), here's a link to some sites which should give you a good idea of what's going on.
The original site: http://thezoepost.wordpress.com/
A site that could be described as 'pro-zoe:' http://www.dailydot.com/geek/zoe-quinn-depression-quest-gaming-sex-scandal/
A reddit thread with regards to it: http://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/2dylh4/psa_the_zoe_quinn_conspiracy_and_its_implications/
A youtube video detailing the affair and its implications: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5-51PfwI3M&feature=share
I've listened to a few perspectives. I've read these sites, I've listened to the videos. I've read a bit into her backstory, I've read her tweets. And I have to say that I'm not buying it. It's yet another symptom of this rampant pussyfooting in society, of being afraid to offend anybody, of standing up for the weak and the 'oppressed.' If anybody so much as offends a women, Sir Fagalot and his White Knights jump to the rescue - namely these pathetically PC guys who write articles defending her, purely because she's a woman. Appealing to certain discrepancies, asking for concrete evidence of skipping steps on the ladder due to sexual interactions. Anybody with half a bloody brain is evidently able to see what kind of a person she is.
And that is what these wimps in certain fields of media are unable to spot. The internet is not ablaze due to her fucking other men. The internet is ablza as a result of the fact that her fucking other men reveals what kind of person she is - the blog is telling of her character! It reveals exactly, exactly what kind of a person she is. Manipulative. Sick. Immoral. Should some idiot who thinks he's sticking up for right comment on this, saying 'you've done immoral things,' you'd be right, and I don't give a damn.
However, I'd rather rot in hell rather than be quiet about this load of bullshite, that her friends, her connections, are trying to burn. He did what he deserved to be able to do, on an emotional level. However, on a professional level, this is an excellent opportunity. Listen, Zoe. We all have an idea of making our own game. It's a way of wandering into our own little world, of creating this brilliant fantasy, be it to share, or be it to escape. However. In order to make a successful game, it has to appeal to people. And that thing that you fucked onto Greenlight? Remove it. Now. You can spout all the 'feminist' bullshit you want. Get it through your heads, all of you politically correct wankers, her friends, her ardent supporters. It's not because she's a woman. It's because she's a morally corrupt human.

I have read quite a few unfavorable reviews by the liberal, left-wing movie critics about the ' 2016 Obama's America ' documentary. But, I have yet seen any documentary by any movie producers praising Obama on how great a President he has been for the past 3 1/2 years. If any one knows of such a documentary playing nationwide to packed audiences like the '2016 Obama's America' documentary , please let me know and I will buy the popcorn and soda for us while we watch this documentary.
