Peeled a few more off at 3.58.........margin shares.....STILLLONGDUCKDONG!!
onvo having a big retrace today. Hopefully some base building occurring.
Anyway, I was saying that a Small Cap analysis source I follow warned last evening that now is the time to take profits from the Three-D stocks, and suggested that a good place to park your powder is with LEDS. I obeyed with a trailing stop sell this morning of my DDD holdings, pumped a wad into LEDS and will take what comes while I wait for DDD to retrace to a new entry level.
PS. DDD also is off its high for the day, so I think my news tip was on target.
Nice sell Denco, I tried to flip at 3.57 but missed it, still holding, may ditch my options by EOD for a quick profit. Still holding core longduckdong style with powder to spare. GLA
Suck Eggs Shorty!!!
Looks like SCHNITZELMAN pulled out the SCHNITZELDONG and is chasing SIRI dog now.
It's all good, time to fill up the truck.

8 Yard Line
A Panoramic View in Indianapolis, Indiana
The Rob Arra Collection
Sunday afternoon at the RCA Dome, with Peyton and the
boys laying out another whoopin'...there's nothing else like it! Whether
you are a longtime fan, a regular attendee of Colts games, or simply an
armchair admirer, this poster is a must for your wall. Featuring the work
of legendary panoramic photographer Rob Arra, it brings your wall alive
with all the sights of Colts gameday. From the 60,000 blue-clad faithful
in the stands, to the cheerleaders on the sidelines, to the scoreboards
and video screens atop the end zones, to the playoff banners hanging from
the bright translucent roof, to the action on the field as Peyton Manning
takes a third-quarter snap from his own 8 yard line, this poster has it
all, in perfect focus and vivid true color. A fitting tribute to Indy's
venerable football palace, this spectacular print is worthy of a nice frame
and a prominent place on the wall of home or office!

To ensure an effective system of quality patient care and coordinated emergency medical response by planning, implementing and evaluating an effective emergency medical services system including fire department and public ambulances, prehospital providers and hospitals, including specialty care hospitals, such as trauma and cardiac care hospitals.
ICEMA EMS CREDENTIALING PORTALforAEMT, EMR, EMT, EMT-P andMICN-BH, MICN-A, MICN-F, and MICN-COn August 15, 2014, paper applications were discontinued and the online application process was implemented. Select the credentialing portal link when applying for accreditation, authorization, and certification.
Submersion (Drowning) Season is Here - Early Death caused by submersion (drowning) accidents thru June of 2015 have already exceeded the death statistics for the calendar year of 2014 for San Bernardino County. There have been 6 adult submersions, 4 were fatalities and 16 pediatric submersions, 3 were fatalities and 1 is severely neurologically impaired. Riverside County is reporting similar trends. On behalf of the San Bernardino Drowning Prevention Network and in collaboration with ICEMA, we would like to encourage everyone in the EMS community to take every opportunity to educate the public on drowning prevention and water safety. In addition, remind EMS providers or hospital personnel that have responded or received submersion patients to complete the Submersion Incident Report Form (SIRF) and submit it to Michelle Parker at email@example.com. Here is the link to the SIRF: http://www.sbcounty.gov/icema/main/ViewFile.aspx?DocID=1797 Thank you for all that you do.
ICEMA recently received three achievement awards for innovative and money-saving programs from the National Association of Counties (NACo). The awards were for the following programs:
Medical and Health Operational Area Coordinator (MHOAC) Program: The program provides detailed guidance to the Inland Counties Emergency Medical Agency , Department of Public Health, and Department of Behavioral Health staff responding to medical and public health emergencies. It follows the principles of the Incident Command System, the National Incident Management System, and California's Standardized Emergency Management System. The MHOAC Program is based on guidance described in the California Public Health and Medical Emergency Operations Manual adopted in July 2011 by the California Department of Public Health and the California Emergency Medical Services Authority.
Continuation of Specialty Care Program: Trauma, stroke and heart attack represent a significant consequence to health and remain three of the top 10 causes of serious injury and death in the United States. Considering the diversity of the geography and the remoteness of many areas of the county, accessing specialty medical care for specialized treatment is often difficult. The ICEMA Continuation of Specialty Care Program is designed to deliver these patients to a hospital with specialized services since rapid and definitive care at a specialty care center often means the difference between survival, lifelong disability or death. The improvement in time to treatment reduces morbidity and mortality and improves the quality of services provided to residents and visitors.
EMS Credentialing Portal: ICEMA implemented a paperless online EMS Credentialing Portal to complete credential applications from any location at any time. Emergency medical services personnel are credentialed by ICEMA to practice in San Bernardino, Inyo and Mono counties. The credentialing process required personnel to visit ICEMA's office during normal business hours to submit a paper application and payment, which took about an hour. The online process improved efficiency by allowing staff to review and issue new credentials in less than 15 minutes. The process ultimately reduced costs and enhanced overall customer satisfaction.
This year, San Bernardino County won 46 Achievement Awards, more than any other county in the nation.
"Outbreaks" Report - finds gaps in Nation's ability to respond to Ebola and other infectious diseases; 25 States reach half or fewer of key indicators. Protecting Americans from Infectious Diseases. California scored seven out of 10 on key indicators - related to preventing, detecting, diagnosing and responding to outbreaks - like Ebola, Enterovirus and Superbugs. Report detail.
ICEMA BUSINESS HOURS CHANGE - Effective Monday, July 13, 2015, ICEMA will be altering its business hours. The new hours will be from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. EMS Credentialing (accreditation/certification/authorization) hours will be 7:30 am to 4:00 pm. ICEMA believes the change in hours will better serve the EMS community by accommodating early morning applicants.

The aquarium tank is so huge that they name it as sea, Kuroshio Sea. What fish to rear in this huge tank? Definitely not golden fish. You can't even see the small golden fish in the sea.
See what they rear inside?
Just imagine the thickness of the glass. What happen if the glass broken?
PS: The tank size is capable to hold 4 Whale Sharks!!

PCR products created using Taq, Tth or Tfl DNA Polymerase often have a 3´-A overhang and can be cloned using the pGEM®-T and pGEM®-T-Easy Vector Systems. (from #TM042)
Pfu DNA Polymerase is a thermostable enzyme isolated from Pyrococcus furiosus Vc1 (DSM3638)(1)
. In addition to 5´to 3´ DNA polymerase activity, it also possesses 3´ to 5´ exonuclease (proofreading) activity. Pfu DNA Polymerase exhibits the lowest error rate of any thermostable DNA polymerase studied(2)
. Consequently, Pfu DNA Polymerase is useful for polymerization reactions requiring high-fidelity synthesis(2)
. The accuracy of a polymerase is the average number of nucleotides the polymerase incorporates before making an error. The error rate is the reciprocal value of accuracy and is expressed as the mutation rate per duplicated base pair. The accuracy of Pfu DNA Polymerase has been reported to be 7.7 × 105 (4)
to 1 × 106 (6)
. The same PCR-based assay has been used to demonstrate that the accuracy of Pfu DNA Polymerase is approximately 2-fold higher than Vent® DNA polymerase (New England Biolabs, Inc.), and approximately 6-fold higher than Taq DNA Polymerase(3)
. To achieve high fidelity, the pH of the 10X Tris-based buffer in amplification reaction must be greater than 8.6 (at 25°C); at pH 8.0, the fidelity of Pfu DNA Polymerase is not much better than the fidelity of Taq DNA Polymerase. The pH of the reaction buffer supplied with Promega Pfu DNA Polymerase is 8.8, which allows high fidelity. The reaction buffer also includes 2mM MgSO4 for optimal enzyme activity (when used with 200µM each dNTP). The fidelity of the reaction can also be maximized by increasing the amount of input template DNA, as well as by decreasing the cycle number and minimizing the time spent at the denaturation temperature. Thus, for routine PCR for the simple detection of product, Taq DNA Polymerase or Tfl DNA Polymerase is appropriate, while for high-fidelity PCR, such as gene cloning, gene expression or mutation analysis, Pfu DNA Polymerase is recommended.
It is critical to add the Pfu DNA Polymerase to the amplification reaction last, particularly following the addition of dNTPs, as the proofreading activity of the polymerase may degrade the amplification primers resulting in nonspecific amplification and reduced product yield. To overcome primer degradation, longer primers with maximized GC-content can be used. The first fifteen 5´ bases have nearly full protection from degradation, and as such, a good primer length is 20-35 bases. Primers can also be protected by introducing a single phosphorothioate bond at their 3´ termini(7)
. The amplification reactions should be set up on ice and then placed into a thermocycler preheated to 95°C. An extension time of 2 minutes for every 1kb to be amplified should be used.

Glady's: Closed and Retooling
February 2014
Per Grub Street, Glady's shuttered after service last night. Reopening in a few months with a Caribbean food and rum focus.
Glady's in Crown Heights Ditching Sandwich Concept to Become Caribbean Restaurant - Grub Street New York
There's going be a lobster tank, too.
February 2014
This time, I had nothing to do with 788 Franklin ave (NW corner of Lincoln) closing. I swear.
mike dunlap
February 2014
Hopefully the next door version has moderately priced food. This neighborhood really needs more places to fill the gap between Chinese takeout and all the $20 entree places. Hopefully that burrito joint going into the old Jam Rock spot opens before 2016.
February 2014
Neighborhood newbies open Caribbean restaurant in long-time Caribbean neighborhood with plenty of great authentic Caribbean restaurants. Great concept.
February 2014
I won't miss it. To second Mike's comment, I really hope it's not another over-priced place (I'm looking at you, Cafe Rue Dix).
February 2014
Mike, Washington Ave seems to be excelling at lower priced, less fancy options.
Go west, young man!
February 2014
Meanwhile, the restaurant that would REALLY succeed on Franklin Ave--the grilled cheese restaurant--continues to be under development. Gladys' was always overpriced, and who wants a $16 sandwich for dinner? But an $8-$12 grilled cheese...now THAT would work.
February 2014
February 2014
There is (was?) also plans for a grilled cheese place on Washington. if it ever happens, one will be able to get a beer with it...
February 2014
This is just odd. I was excited about the original menu with the sandwiches and the Darker and Stormier; by the time I got around to trying it out they had already changed the menu and I found it less appealing and surprisingly pricey. A rum bar would be great. But
pretty much summed up the rest.
February 2014
The two nearby existing sit down West Indian places (Island Cz and Janelle's) seem empty much of the time.
There have also been complaints about service and not having items on the menu actually available.
If Glady's could avoid these issues, it might succeed.
February 2014
This place is turning into the next Bristen's.
February 2014
Readers, I forget the order of events, but Bristen's was a restaurant on Franklin near Sterling that reinvented itself several times over about a two year period. They tried to serve Caribbean food, Asian Noodles, Hamburgers.
It finally closed, and is now the site of Away We Go Postal.
In my mind, Glady's seemed pretty full when I went there, but it may not have been making much money because it didn't attract a drinking crowd.
...Whereas place like Centanni, Barbachino, Mayfields, and Bar Corvo have.
The real money is made by serving alcohol, not from the food.
I suspect this is part of why Glady's making rum a central part of their future identity.
February 2014
I was just thinking that a more "foodie" focused Caribbean place could do quite well in the neighborhood. Caribbean food/flavors are delicious, but none of the current joints seem to offer the more upscale ambiance/service that seem to hold the key for successful sit-down restaurants in the 'hood these days. And if Glady's can do a mean rum punch to go along with it, I'll certainly give it a try.
February 2014
Funny, we thought Gladys was great for cocktails but that their food experience left something to be desired. Not because it wasn't tasty, but because it didn't offer a relaxing sit-down experience that made us feel like we were going out. It seemed to straddle a sort of gourmet fast-food experience, and that turned us off from seeing it as a dinner destination.
February 2014
No great loss. While their sandwiches we're good they weren't great enough to justify their price especially since you didn't even get a freaking side including chips.
March 2014
Reopening April 5, per signage in the window.
March 2014
Gladys had a GREAT octopus sandwich. My husband and I raved about it with others. But then one day we could never get it again. A real disappointment.
April 2014
This may put it in perspective:
April 2014
April 2014
sounds interesting and great, i'm already salivating. just hope the size/price ratio is better than before. i'll definitely stop by to try it.
if anyone has already tried it, please report back!!
April 2014
It was open tonight, April 7th.
...this should be interesting to watch.
April 2014
They had a decent sized crowd when I passed by last night. Not bad for a Tuesday night.
April 2014
We went last night. The food was good; decor and drinks were great (especially the fun Dark n Slushie). It's just really casual and fun.
April 2014
"So what is one to think of the new Glady's? On the one hand, for those of us concerned about being "good gentrifiers," it seems somehow not quite right to choose this spot as the place to get your Caribbean food fix when there are already so many
longstanding neighborhood joints
to choose from. On the other hand, Glady's is comfortable, friendly and affordable–and seems to be striving to serve Crown Heights' diverse clientele. Plus, I mean, where else are you gonna get a dark and slushie?"
April 2014
"good gentrifiers" = guilt ridden white liberal? reward the people doing the best work. is brendan spiegel saying the same about the bad quality sushi and thai and bodegas that have been around the neighborhood a long time?
April 2014
believe me..the take out west indian spots on nostrand WILL NOT suffer b/c glady's is serving $28 jerk lobster...lol
however i think it's hilarious that they are now serving west indian food in a neighborhood saturated with west indian eateries...i hope they survive.
April 2014
I think the new Gladys will do well simply because of the combination of good dinner food and ambiance. I think I would enjoy sitting in their nice restaurant, now that they are not charging $15+ for dinner sandwiches. If their service is good, friendly, and efficient, I think they will succeed.
April 2014
Yes, I suspect they will serve folks who were not going to local West Indian sit down places.
In my mind, the places like Island CZ, Gloria's, and Janelle's are missing out on potentially profitable diners.
It should be interesting to see which of these entities is still around in a year.
....Glady's strikes me as having deep pockets, and a really good location.
April 2014
Ahhh time will tell. SugarCane on Flatbush has been doing what Gladys is attempting for over 9 years now so obviously there is a market for sit down West Indian restaurants but then again SugarCane is far enough away from the cheaper spots in Crown Heights as to not have to compete.
As for Gloria's...everytime I pass by the line is almost out the door..and didn't Anthony Bourdain just have them on his show? I think they're doing just fine. I'm not sure how Island CZ & Janelle's are doing but I'm pretty sure that Gloria's rent is a grip less than Glady's and I guess if they expanded they'd make more money but maybe the cost of expanding outweighs the gain of what they already have.
Best of luck to Glady's!!
April 2014
Gloria's has multiple locations in Brooklyn. Their next step should be a sit-down place, but in my experience, places that do take out with steam tables and food cooked for volume often have difficulty moving to a cooked-to-order model. At any rate, I'd expect that the only thing standing between them and a long existance in CHN is the rent their landlord is charging. Hopefully they have a long lease with good terms.
April 2014
SugarCane on Flatbush seems distinct from Glady's/Janelle's/Island Cz and Gloria's by virtue of its ability to attract single, well dressed people.
Gloria's has a line for its food, but the real money is in the alcohol.
I don't known if Gloria's could withstand a substantial rent increase. ...many local WI places were quite busy before they went under due to such circumstances.
April 2014
dag whynot?! ...so the clientele in glady's/janelle's/island cz and gloria's are hitched AND shabbily dressed?? lol
but i get what your saying...the real $ is in the alcohol and from the times that ive been in janelle's they've had a pretty young crowd, liquor flowing and a dj spinning..so i think they get it...
April 2014
Although Janelle's seems to get it more than Island CZ, they struggle. The only times I see them even close to being busy are late night on weekends.
The drinks Janelle's seems to sell are comparatively modest relative to those that SugarCane specializes in. It's a different venue.
Returning to Glady's, I don't see it becoming a "destination" in the same way SugarCane is. Nor do I expect its patrons to be "as single" or "as well dressed" as SugarCane's.
I actually actually see Glady's main competition as being Barbachino or Centani. These venues keep their spaces at a volume that allows their patrons to talk, and attract a slightly older, quieter crowd than the other bars on Franklin.
April 2014
Is Gladys back open, or are they still renovating?

July 2014
I constantly see the new version of Glady's being "not busy" when I walk by.
The Voice covered them again today. ...needless to say, press does not mean a place is good.
July 2014
I've eaten there with friends a few times since their reopening, and both the food and service has been nothing short of fantastic. And from the look of the reviews on Yelp, people agree with me. I just wish that they would have more consistent daytime hours during the week and didn't close down between lunch and dinner on the weekends.
July 2014
It is good to know that those that eat there like it.
Any idea why more people don't seem to go?
....when you ate there, was the place full?
July 2014
I've eaten there on both Friday and Saturday nights, and had to wait for a table each time. It wasn't long of a wait, but the restaurant was full and seats did not stay empty. I was kind of surprised to see you say that it doesn't seem busy when you walk by, because that hasn't been my experience when eating there. However I have walked by during the day and seen a scattering of people inside, but when I tried to go in, they were actually closed. Also, I wanted to eat there last weekend, but my friend didn't seem to think that they had daytime hours and we ended up going elsewhere. It turns out (at least according to Yelp) that they do have some daytime hours on the weekend, but it's probably confusing enough to deter some business.
July 2014
I tend to walk by there around 7 PM, so I might be seeing them before they get busy.
I'm glad they are doing well; they put a bunch of $ into the renovation.
July 2014
I went for dinner on a Tuesday around 7pm. When we first went it it was empty. We had drinks, left to go run an errand down the block and came back 30 minutes later to a 10 minute wait for a table.
The entire place was full while we ate. I think they are just one of those places that kicks off later
July 2014
Number 1 spot. Not too shabby!
July 2014
oh whoops! You beat me too it
July 2014
Dumb question of the day: How do you pronounce this restaurant's name?
If there was no apostrophe, I'd say "Glad-is" but since there is, is it "Glade-ees"? or "Glad-ees"? Or something else all together?

That's actually a good question. I always just say "Glad-is" but the apostrophe being between the "y" and "s", rather than after the "s" might indicate something else..

Monsanto Corporate Profile
Monsanto is one of the world's leading pesticide manufacturers and is the global leader in agricultural biotechnology. Between 1996 and 1998, Monsanto followed a strategy of buying out and forming relationships with the majority of U.S. and international seed companies. Many of these seeds were Roundup Ready (seeds genetically engineered for resistance to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto's most popular herbicide, Roundup).

Type of corporation Public (traded on the New York Stock Exchange)
Pesticides and Agricultural Biotechnology
Monsanto's booming pesticide sales has helped to place the company in a dominant position in the agricultural biotechnology market.
Monsanto is responsible for a wide range of harmful pesticide products and ingredients, including:
Alachlor Widely used herbicide and likely carcinogen. EPA has detected alachlor at levels above the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) in groundwater in 15 states. [4] In 1984, Monsanto conducted a series of groundwater contamination tests as part of a successful re-registration effort for alachlor. These tests, however, suffered from biased sampling, in which sites were picked so as to minimize the potential for alachlor explosure. [5] Alachlor generates tens of millions of dollars in sales annually for Monsanto. [5]
Atrazine Second most commonly used herbicide in the U.S. [6] According to the Environmental Working Group, atrazine has been found to induce mammary cancer in repeated studies of female rats. [7] According to a report released by the same organization, atrazine was present in the tap water of 28 out of 29 cities tested. [7]
Butachlor Carcinogenic herbicide, never registered in the U.S. but produced by Monsanto for export. [8] Long-term health studies submitted by Monsanto were rejected by EPA. EPA cited "residue, environmental, fish and wildlife, and toxicological" concerns with the chemical. [8]
Carbaryl Carbaryl acts on insects and other living organisms by inhibiting acetyl cholinesterase, and preventing proper transmission of messages by the nervous system. [9] Carbaryl is moderately to very toxic. In humans, acute effects of carbaryl exposure include headaches, nausea, coordination problems, and difficulty breathing. It also suppresses the immune system. [9]
Dioxin A highly toxic ingredient in Agent Orange, the herbicide used on 6 million acres of forest in Vietnam. Many of Monsanto's other products have ended up contaminated with dioxin, although Monsanto refularly fails to inform the EPA or consumers about this. At one point, the company told the EPA that it wasn't able to use it's own labs to test products for dioxin because it was too toxic to handle.[10]
Glyphosate (Roundup) Popular, broad-spectrum herbicide. In 2000, Monsanto began losing market share as its U.S. glyphosate patent expired. [11] More recently, sales have risen. In 2004, Roundup and other glyphosate-based herbicides comprised US$709 million of the company's gross profit. The evolution of glyphosate-resistant horseweed, ryegrass, waterhemp and goosegrass have created concern about the long-term viability of glyphosate application techniques. [12]
Methyl-parathion Insecticide that can damage the central nervous system and lead to dizziness, vomiting, tremors, blurred vision and death. [13]According to the Environmental Working Group, an estimated 320,000 children aged one to five consume methyl parathion in excess of the reference (or "acceptable") dose every day. [14] Methyl parathion is a neurotoxicant and a World Health Organization class 1 extremely hazardous chemical.
Toxaphene Carcinogenic and acutely toxic insecticide that can persist in soil for as many as 12 years. [15] Toxaphene is found at high levels in fish. [15] EPA considers toxaphene a persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic pollutant. [16]
Agricultural Biotechnology
Monsanto is a pioneer in agricultural biotechnology. It produces genetically altered seeds for crops that are resistant to herbicide and to insects ("Bt crops," which are engineered to contain a bacterial toxin). The company estimates that it controls more than 70% of the world's insect- and herbicide-resistant crops. [17] The company developed and patented so-called "Terminator technology," in which plants are engineered to be sterile so that growers must purchase new seeds. [18] Monsanto, which owns numerous patents for transgenic seeds, has sought to protect its interests through aggressive legal action against farmers. [19] In the mid-1990's, Monsanto commercialized recombinant (genetically engineered) bovine growth hormone (rBGH), a hormone used to increase milk. [20]
Monsanto has become a poster child for the risks and harms posed by the agricultural biotechnology industry. In addition to its market dominance and aggressive behavior, the company has sometimes made unpopular public statements. For example, Phil Angel, former director of corporate communications at Monsanto, stated that "Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the safety of biotech food. Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is the FDA's job." [21]
The company has also continued it's forceful marketing campaign abroad. In January of 2005, Monsanto had to pay 1.5 million US dollars in penalties to the US government over a bribe paid in Indonesia in a bid to bypass controls on the screening controls of GE crops[22] GE cotton, also know as "Bt Cotton", has done untold damage in India. Monsanto claimed that Bt cotton would reduce pest damage, but not only did it fail to control the target pest, the presence of other pests increased. A Cornell University study showed that after 7 years of planting Bt Cotton, farmers were actually using more pesticides than those who planted conventional cotton. The GE plants also produce a lower-quality fiber, which means farmers growing Bt Cotton have a net income that is five times less than the yield from local non-Bt varieties. The GE cotton seeds cost 3 times as much as their conventional counterparts, creating a downward spiral of debt and despair that has pushed an estimated 125,000 Indian farmers to commit suicide
Genetically engineered crops pose serious risks to public health and the environment, increase reliance on pesticides, deepen agribusiness control over farmers and undermine food security and sovereignty. Most biotech seeds are licensed to farmers, not sold: making it illegal to replant, save, trade, share or breed them as farmers have done for millennia. Global food security requires access to land, small-scale, ecologically based farming systems and the crop diversity needed to respond to varied and changing environments and growing conditions. Genetically engineered crops, in contrast, are an extension of industrial agricultural practices that concentrate land ownership, rely on synthetic pesticides, fertilizers and other off-farm inputs, and dramatically reduce crop biodiversity.
A Wide Range of Impacts
Monsanto's social and environmental impacts are very broad:
Hazardous wastes Monsanto is a potentially responsible party for at least 93 Superfund sites. [23] Four of Monsanto's industrial facilities in the U.S. rank amongst the worst 40% of comparable facilities in total toxic releases. [24]
Recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH, rBST) Monsanto brought rBGH to market in the mid-1990's amidst allegations that it prevented three British scientists from publishing a study regarding rBGH's impact on animal health. Furthermore, the company purportedly violated federal law by illegally promoting the hormone prior to rBGH's FDA approval, manipulated high-level government contacts to gain approval, and attempted to bribe Health Canada officials to approve it in Canada . [25] Monsanto has threatened and sometimes sued food companies that have labeled their products as rBGH-free. For example, Monsanto sued Oakhurst Dairy for including the statement that its milk contains no artificial hormones on the label. [26]
Price-fixing In January 2004, Monsanto was accused of illegal price fixing in the genetically engineered seed market. According to Julian Borger of the Guardian (UK), Monsanto spoke with competitors at Pioneer Hi-Bred, Novartis and Mycogen in an attempt to coordinate pricing policies. [27]
Dioxin According to EPA official Cate Jenkins, Monsanto knowingly submitted fraudulent data and studies about dioxin to EPA. Specifically, the company attempted to conceal contamination of its products, strategically rigged samples and fixed dioxin health studies. These efforts played a role in weakening dioxin regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). [28] After she exposed Monsanto's lies and cover-ups, Dr. Jenkins was later demoted to a clerk level position by the EPA with no explanation. [29]
Plan Colombia As part of its effort to fight rebels and drug trafficking, the U.S. government approved the aerial spraying of coca crops in Colombia . The chemicals sprayed included a Roundup formulation (containing a glyphosate concentration 26 times higher than that recommended for agricultural use) in combination with a surfactant, called Cosmo-flux, which has not been approved by EPA. [30] According to many reports, family residences, food crops, rivers and forests have been sprayed, resulting in livestock deaths and human ailments.[31]
Industrial coolants (Polychlorinated Biphenyls, or PCBs) For four-decades, Monsanto benefited from a lucrative monopoly in the U.S. PCB market. [32] During this time, Monsanto regularly dumped PCBs in open pits and creeks in the city of Anniston , Alabama . In 1966, the company discovered and concealed its knowledge that in one creek, fish submerged for ten seconds would die, bleeding and shedding skin, as if dunked into boiling water. [32] Similarly, Monsanto suppressed a company study indicating that PCBs cause tumors in rats. [32] Though Monsanto stopped producing PCBs in 1977, two years before the substance was banned, PCB contamination continues to be a problem in Anniston and around the world today. [32]
False Advertisements In 1996, Monsanto settled a case brought against it by the New York state attorney general for false advertisement of its glyphosate-based products, including Roundup. [33] Monsanto paid a settlement of US$50,000 and agreed to stop referring to its glyphosate-containing products as "biodegradable" and "environmentally friendly." [33]
In Focus: Patents on Life
Monsanto has made a concerted effort to acquire numerous patents related to genetic engineering techniques and genetically engineered seed varieties. Typically, farmers purchasing these seeds must pay licensing fees and sign a licensing agreement prohibiting seed saving and reuse and including other restrictions. Farmers violating the agreement face severe fines. [34]
In one case, although he claims that he never planted Monsanto's seed, Canadian farmer Percy Schmeiser was sued by Monsanto after the company found genetically engineered Roundup Ready canola plants's growing in his fields. In fact, the plants may have contaminated Schmeiser's plots through pollen carried by wind from modified plants on nearby farms. Schmeiser says that the genetically engineered canola destroyed his own carefully developed local variety. He has faced severe consequences as a result of the suit. [34]
Schmeiser's situation is not isolated. Tom Wiley, a farmer in North Dakota , put it this way: "Farmers are being sued for having GMOs on their property that they did not buy, do not want, will not use and cannot sell." [34]
A coalition of organic famers in Canada has filed a class-action lawsuit against Monsanto for planting test crops of genetically engineered wheat in undisclosed locations. Farmers are concerned that their natural and organic crops could easily become contaminated, which would put them at risk of losing more that $170 million.[35]
Undue Influence
To advance their interests, giants like Monsanto invest heavily in political and social influence. Some of Monsanto's efforts to influence policy and public opinion include:
Trade organizations and think tanks Some of the trade and policy organizations in which Monsanto participates include: [48]
- American Seed Trade Association (http://www.amseed.com/)
- CropLife Internacional (http://www.croplife.org/)
- EuropaBio (http://www.europabio.org/)
- European Chemical Industries Council (http://www.cefic.be/)
- Grocery Manufacturers of America (http://www.gmabrands.com/)
- International Chamber of Commerce (http://www.iccwbo.org/)
- International Food Information Council (http://www.ific.org/)
- International Seed Federation (http://www.worldseed.org/)
- World Business Council for Sustainable Development (http://www.wbcsd.org/)
Campaign Contributions The Monsanto Citizenship Fund, a political action committee, donated US$297,971 to federal candidates (42% to Democrats, 58% to Republicans) in the 2008 election cycle, and US$226,401 in the 2006 cycle. Most of the Fund's money come from donations by Monsanto employees. [37]
Lobbying From 1998 to 2004, Monsanto spent US$22,504,610 lobbying the federal government. In 2004 alone, the company spent US$3,257,000. [38] The trade organizations to which Monsanto belongs also employ lobbyists.
Monsanto spent $4,174,000 on lobbying so far in 2009. In 2008, they spent $831,120. [39]
Monsanto was also the driving force behind the proposed H.R. 875 Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009, introduced to Congress by Rosa DeLauro whose husband is Monsanto employee Stanley Greenburg. "The bill is monstrous on level after level - the power it would give to Monsanto, the criminalization of seed banking, the prison terms and confiscatory fines for farmers, the 24 hours GPS tracking of their animals, the easements on their property to allow for warrantless government entry, the stripping away of their property rights, the imposition by the filthy, greedy industrial side of anti-farming international "industrial" standards to independent farms - the only part of our food system that still works, the planned elimination of farmers through all these means." [40]
In Focus: The Revolving Door
High-level employees commonly rotate between industry and the public agencies that regulate them, providing insider know-how and friendly connections through which rules can be bent and loopholes exploited. Monsanto employees have passed through this so-called revolving door many times.
For example, Linda Fisher worked from 1995 to 2000 as Monsanto's Vice President and Corporate Officer, responsible for government relations and public affairs. She then became Deputy Administrator at EPA until 2003. [41]
Michael Taylor worked at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), then worked as an attorney representing Monsanto, went back to work for FDA, [42] and then joined Monsanto as Vice President for Public Policy. Taylor helped draft FDA's policy on genetically modified foods [43]
Others who have passed from Monsanto to government or vice versa include:
- Gwendolyn S. King, who served on the Monsanto Board of Directors, also served as the 11 th Commissioner of Social Security from 1989-1992 and has served on President Bush's Commission to Strengthen Social Security [44]
- George H. Poste, another member of Monsanto's Board of Directors is also a member of the Defense Science Board of the U.S. Department of Defense [45]
- Michael (Mickey) Kantor served as a United States Trade Representative from 1993-1996 [46] and has been a member of Monsanto's board of directors since 1997
- Donald Bandler was US Ambassador to Cypress from 1999-2002, then Senior VP of Govt Affairs at Monsanto from 2002-present [47]
- Marcia Hale (who is also a registered lobbyist for McKenna, Long & Aldridge) worked in the White House under Legislative and Congressional affairs from 1993-2000, and for Monsanto from 1999-2000[48]
- Toby Moffet was a staff assistant for Walter Mondale from 1970-1971, and a member for the US House of Representatives from 1975-1983. He then worked for Monsanto as an international lobbyist from 1998-2000.[49]
- Linda Avery Strachan was the Director of Federal and Government Affairs for Monsanto, and also worked as the Assistant Secretary of Congressional Relations for the Department of Agriculture, and as an assistant for the EPA[50]
- Jim Travis was a Policy Advisor for California Representative Cal Dooley, and now works for Monsanto.[51]

En español l When the prospect of becoming a Medicare beneficiary looms on the horizon, you suddenly become aware — if you're like most people — of how little you know about the program. And can you be sure what you think you know is accurate?
Subscribe to the AARP Health Newsletter
Based on the questions I receive as the Ask Ms. Medicare columnist for AARP, I can tell you that a lot of perceptions about the program are way off base. Often, they're gleaned from the Internet or even mass emails that are deliberately misleading. And if you've had health insurance in the past, especially from an employer, you may naturally be nervous about how Medicare coverage compares with it.
In writing the new AARP book Medicare for Dummies (see the box below), I include questions people frequently raise about the program. Here is a sample:
Q: As a government-run system, will Medicare provide me with inferior care?
A: No — or at least, not inherently. The federal government runs and regulates Medicare, and also pays around 75 percent of the cost of the medical services you use. Even so, those actual services are almost wholly private. The doctors you go to are not government employees; the hospitals and laboratories that provide services to you are not government-owned. Instead, they're free to enter (or not enter) into contracts with Medicare as they choose. Those who accept you as a Medicare patient are the same kind of private practitioners you would have seen for care before your Medicare coverage began.
Q: Is Medicare free?
A: No, you pay monthly premiums unless you qualify for low-income assistance from your state. (If your income is over a certain level, you pay a surcharge on your premiums.) You also pay deductibles and copayments, which vary according to the type of coverage you choose.
Q: Will Medicare allow me fewer choices than I have now?
A: No. In fact, the reverse may be true. If you've had health insurance from a private employer, for example, you probably had only two or three plans to choose from each year. In contrast, Medicare offers a choice between the traditional program — which allows you to go to any doctor or other provider in the United States that accepts Medicare patients — and a variety of Medicare Advantage private health plans (such as HMOs and PPOs), which are likely similar to plans you've known in the past. Depending on where you live, you may be overwhelmed by the number of options. In some areas, as many as 50 Medicare Advantage plans are available. Also, at least 25 private Part D plans in each state offer Medicare prescription drug coverage.
Q: Will my out-of-pocket expenses be capped in Medicare?
A: Not necessarily. Traditional Medicare sets no limit on out-of-pocket expenses during a year (although many people buy separate medigap supplemental insurance to cover them). However, all Medicare Advantage plans are required by law to set annual caps on these expenses (up to $6,700 in 2013). In Part D, after you've spent a certain amount out of pocket on prescription drugs in a year, you qualify for catastrophic coverage, which greatly lowers your costs for the rest of the year.
Next page: Deductibles and preexisting medical conditions. »
PART A: Coverage for hospital stays, home health services and hospice care.
PART B: Coverage for doctors' services, outpatient care and medical equipment.
PART C (Medicare Advantage): Private plans that provide Part A, B and (often) D services, as an alternative to traditional Medicare, usually through managed care.
PART D: Prescription drug coverage, offered through private "stand-alone" drug plans or Medicare Advantage plans.
TRADITIONAL MEDICARE: The original program that covers Part A and B benefits by paying providers directly for each service.
MEDIGAP: Private, optional supplemental insurance that covers many of traditional Medicare's out-of-pocket expenses.

Comments about Traditional Electric Triple Candelabra:
We use this product to illuminate the exterior windows of our home for decorative and security purposes every night of the year. It's nice to come home at night to their warmth and beauty.
We had new energy efficient windows installed last year and have enjoyed and experienced immediate savings on air conditioning and heating bills. However, at night they appeared so dark from the street.
The accent lighting illuminates the beauty of our windows at night with the added security of having them come on/off even when no one is home.
This type of lighting seems to discourage incidents of crime as prowlers tend to shun light. Anyone attempting to peer inside is readily visible from the street. The lighting also makes it undeterminable as to whether anyone is home or not since we also have other interior lighting and sound systems to come on/off at random with timers.
My favorite is the triple candle and these can be used with black-out curtains in the bedroom as well without interferring with sleep patterns. We also use mosaic uplighting accents in some of our other windows.
We were impressed with the quality and plan to order more.
Comments about Traditional Electric Triple Candelabra:
I am very pleased with the two electric triple candelabras purchased recently. Both are displayed in two separate windows and look beautiful from the inside and the outside. The base is heavy and appears to be high quality. I will display these every year around the holidays.

INTERVIEW: Inhabitat Talks to botObjects Founders About ProDesk3D, The World's First Full-Color 3D Printer
Just over a month ago, we showcased a product with the potential to revolutionize the still-new 3D printing industry: the ProDesk3D by botObjects. Hailed as the world's first full-color 3D printer, the ProDesk3D allows designers to pick a desired palette and quickly print the final product with a five-color, re-usable PLA cartridge system. Since the ProDesk3D is only in the pre-order phase (and we were eager to know more), Inhabitat reached out to botObjects founders Martin Warner and Mike Duma to dig deeper into the development process of this ground-breaking product. Read on to find out why the ProDesk3D pushes the boundaries of 3D printing technology, and how it was designed to make self-fabrication accessible to a larger audience.
INHABITAT: If the launch of a full-color 3D printer has even a fraction of the impact that full-color television had on society, the ProDesk3D is going to be huge. How do you see your product changing the way designers think about what they're printing?
This is a great question. Just like the printing press, television, and PC revolution, 3D desktop printing is not only the most exciting technology to be talked about in 2013, but it is the timing of the desktop version, mainstream awareness and the scope of device technology—that meet the needs of mainstream audience. Owners such as designers, and just about all creators, will benefit.
The ProDesk3D brings full color, speed, accuracy, simplicity and significant advancement that arms not only technical consumers but all consumers with even limited 3D technology printing experience with a printer and software that can achieve so much more than what was previously on the market.
Moving the industry from hobbyist/engineer to power use—enabling a diverse set of experiences to descend upon our product—that will create designs that will literally change sub-segment industries forever. The power of designers of all types will flourish and proliferate as a result of 3D desktop printing.
INHABITAT: What items have you been able to create with the ProDesk3D that wouldn't have been possible (or attractive) on a traditional one-color printer?
Color simply changes everything. For most users, industrial 3D printers cost 10s—and sometimes over 100—thousand dollars to purchase. An important distinction here is that we aim to give massive advancement to everyone for a 3D printer that can exist on the desktop.
We released some official product samples (on our website) that couldn't be printed by any current 3D desktop printer. One was a vase that beautifully blended color to create a vibrant existence for flowers.
We also created a musical instrument—a recorder with lovely colors. Recorders were typically boring yet functional objects, but now they are fun and interesting to collect and personify themselves with the owner.
Lastly, another example that we recently hinted at on Twitter is a 'planetary set of gears' with color transition, metallic, translucent and fluorescent colors. These special single cartridge colors will bring endless possible suggestions to what could be created—such as toys, tools, instruments and more—while giving us a totally different context to color mixing.
