Column: Why the U.S. is stuck with NATO's bill
Speaking this month in Brussels, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates warned our European allies in NATO that freeloading on America's outsized military might cannot guarantee their security forever. Or even in the near term, which Gates said could soon turn "dismal" for the alliance.
Gates might as well have railed against the heavens. Europe's lack of will to confront geopolitical dangers is a reflection of what it cannot fight, a titanic demographic shift that is making Europe ever older and reducing the continent's population of young people more potently than wars have ever done.
In addition to its own editorials, USA TODAY publishes a variety of opinions from outside writers. On political and policy matters, we publish opinions from across the political spectrum.
Roughly half of our columns come from our Board of Contributors, a group whose interests range from education to religion to sports to the economy. Their charge is to chronicle American culture by telling the stories, large and small, that collectively make us what we are.
We also publish weekly columns by Al Neuharth, USA TODAY's founder, and DeWayne Wickham, who writes primarily on matters of race but on other subjects as well. That leaves plenty of room for other views from across the nation by well-known and lesser-known names alike.
Over the past two years, NATO's European members cut $45 billion from their defense spending, which the Associated Press points out nearly equals Germany's annual military budget. Gates said only five of NATO's 28 members were on track to devote more than 2% of their gross domestic products to defense spending, which is what NATO requires. The Defense secretary did praise the non-U.S. NATO nations for delivering 40,000 troops to Afghanistan. That was kind, since some big European nations send very small forces. Spain, which is one-third more populous than Canada, has sent only half as many soldiers to Afghanistan.
Worth the cost?
Predictably, every non-U.S. NATO member also commits far fewer funds or troops in combat than we do. The U.S. spends 4.7% of our GDP on defense, which is almost twice the percentage France spends and more than three times what Germany pays in. Gates did cite Norway, Denmark, Belgium and Canada for "punch(ing) well above their weight" fighting in Libya, but then turned that praise into his most damning critique overall. "The mightiest military alliance in history," Gates said, "is only 11 weeks into an operation against a poorly armed regime in a sparsely populated country — yet many allies are beginning to run short of munitions, requiring the U.S., once more, to make up the difference."
There will be nothing simple about getting NATO's slackers to beef up their game. Gates' own warning hints at why. One reason European states must "be responsible for their fair share of the common defense," he said, was due to the squeezed budgets and shifting priorities in the U.S. Future American taxpayers, he said, simply will not see NATO as "worth the cost."
Few European states are likely to quake at that threat. Last year, the U.S. paid about $712 million, more than one-fifth the cost of keeping NATO afloat. In addition, we have been raising military spending, now more than $700 billion a year, with few signs of reversal for more than a decade. Every dollar spent offers collateral protection to our allies. Even during the years of relatively reduced defense budgets before 9/11, our spending was vastly higher than any other country. Today, U.S. military spending accounts for more than 40% of all such spending in the world. That might be right for us, but the spending makes it impossible to convince our friends we are likely to cut back. Luckily for Europeans, our politicians would rather fight cuts then suggest that U.S. defense spending should be slashed to force Europe to spend more. Who trusts Europe on defense?
Yet there is another intractable reality: demographic change. Europe's population is aging rapidly, and its workforce is shrinking. In 2030, Germany will likely have 8 million fewer workers than it had in 2010. Italy, 3 million fewer. Overall, Europe could count 50 million fewer workers by 2050. That's 50 million fewer people to pay taxes to support either their growing number of elderly or their defense needs. By 2030, the U.S. will add 18 million workers. Europeans have made a political choice on defense spending, and barring direct attacks on their soil, they are likely to stick to it. They are triaging defense spending and pouring their tight resources into paying for the debts and services their aging populations demand.
Mark Haas, a political science professor at Duquesne University, notes that in France and Germany, government money accounts for nearly two-thirds of the after-tax income of older people, and that even small cuts would swell the ranks of the elderly poor.
And by the way, the world financial markets tell European governments, in effect, to keep defense spending low. Troubled debtor nations such as Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain — uncharitably dubbed the "PIGS" — are urged to be frugal, not to spend more on soldiers and arms.
Geriatric Peace
So if Americans like NATO, we either are stuck with being an avid supporter among slackers or must rethink our commitment. When U.S. security strategists worry about demographics, their attention often turns to the regions of the developing world where population growth remains high and youthful segments of the population are flush and restless. Haas predicts that the conflicts in developing countries will likely stay local.
Perhaps, like the Libyan conflict, U.S. and NATO involvement in such disputes will be a matter of choice rather than driven by grave threat to our safety at home. Many of the big potential adversaries that strategists build scenarios around, such as Russia, China and Iran, are also on the path to rapid population aging. This might make America's job easier, as aging forces governments all over to rethink military spending.
The U.S. could continue to devote more resources than our allies or competitors, but we might also enjoy what Hass has called a "Geriatric Peace." Just don't try to get the older countries to pay more to put up a fight.

Critical Habitat Exclusions
Building on the success of the Obama Administration in improving regulations and in implementing the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in new and innovative ways, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service today finalized a policy and two rules that will provide a clearer, more consistent and predictable process for designating critical habitat.
The new policy is intended to provide greater predictability, transparency and consistency regarding how the Services consider exclusion of areas from critical habitat designations. Under the ESA, the Services evaluate the economic, national security and other impacts of a designation and may exclude particular areas if the benefits of doing so are greater than the benefits of designation, so long as the exclusion will not result in the extinction of the species. This final policy describes the general position of the Services for considering different situations relative to the exclusion process (e.g., voluntary conservation agreements, national security, economics).
The final policy published in the Federal Register on February 11, 2016, and becomes effective 30 days after publication on March 14, 2016.

Furiex Pharmaceuticals (FURX) is a pharmaceutical company that has shown interesting stock performance in the last few months. Will shares bounce higher ahead of pending decision?
After starting the year at just under $17/share, FURX began a rally in mid-March that went as high as $25/share but it has pulled back in recent weeks to just under $21/share. Much of this dramatic price action has been linked to the performance of the broader equity market, although the real event that should be driving shares in the coming weeks is the FDA decision that is due to be released on April 25th regarding their Alogliptin/Actos drug. Although the rights have been sold to Takeda Pharmaceuticals (OTCPK:TKPYY), Furiex retains a significant stake in the drug's future through payments and royalties.
Nesina (alogliptin), in combination Actos (pioglitazone HCl) is being developed into a tablet for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. This diabetes 2 pill was already approved in July 2011 by the Japanese Ministry of Health under filing by Takeda Pharmaceuticals. Upon FDA approval, Furiex is expected to receive a $25 million milestone payment from Takeda, and 12% royalties on drug sales after marketing approval. EMA approval would lead to another $10 million milestone payment and additional revenue on sales in Europe.
According to the company's website, the Alogliptin/Actos drug will be the first type 2 diabetes drug that has both a DPP-4 inhibitor as well as a thiazolidinedione. DPP-4 (Dipeptidyl peptidase-4) is a protein which plays a vital role in glucose metabolism by degrading incretins. Incretins usually help regulate insulin levels within the body when necessary. A particular incretin called GIP, or Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Peptide, ceases proper function in patients with type-2 diabetes. DPP-4 inhibitors help lower blood glucose levels by elevating levels of another incretin (GLP-1, or Glucagon-Like Peptide-1), which can compensate for consistently abnormal levels of insulin in type-2 diabetes patients.
These inhibitors are already marketed widely. Januvia (Sitagliptin) and its improved version, Janumet are DPP-4 inhibitors being sold by Merck (MRK). Novartis (NVS) also sells Galvus (Vildagliptin) and its improved version Eucrease, which adds metformin to the pill. The introduction of Actos (pilglitazone) may prove interesting, as this drug increases the body's sensitivity to insulin, which makes Furiex's proprietary blend unique. As stated before, this Alogliptin/Actos combination will be the first drug on the market with the specific combination of a DPP-4 inhibitor to boost GLP-1 and a thiazolidinedione to boost insulin sensitivity.
Considering the size of the T2D drug market, any respectable slice of it could be extraordinarily valuable for Takeda, and ultimately Furiex. As a result, the PDUFA date of April 25th should be a major FDA catalyst for the stock.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

This application is a divisional of U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 10/099,149 filed 15 Mar. 2002 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,800,081, which is a divisional of application Ser. No. 09/787,135, filed Jun. 4, 2001, entitled "Endovascular Fastener Applicator," now U.S. Pat. No. 6,592,593, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/101,050 filed Sep. 18, 1998.
This disclosure relates generally to vascular grafts for intraluminal delivery, and in particular, to a method and apparatus for repairing diseased or damaged sections of a vessel by fastening a prosthesis within the vessel.
Diseased or damaged blood vessels often cause weakening of the vessel wall resulting in an aneurysm whereby a blood vessel and especially an artery have a section of abnormal blood-filled dilation. For example, an abdominal aortic aneurysm is a sac caused by an abnormal dilation of the wall of the aorta, a major artery of the body as it passes through the abdomen.
The abdominal aortic aneurysm usually arises in the infrarenal portion of the arteriosclerotically diseased aorta, for example, below the kidneys. Left untreated, the aneurysm will eventually cause rupture of the sac with ensuing fatal hemorrhaging in a very short time. High mortality associated with rupturing led the state of the art into trans-abdominal surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Surgery involving the abdominal wall, however, is a major undertaking with associated high risks. This type of surgery, in essence, involves replacing the diseased and aneurysmal segment of blood vessel with a prosthetic device which typically is a synthetic tube, or graft, usually fabricated of either DACRON™, TEFLON™, or other suitable material.
The present state of the art for intraluminal repair of a vessel does not fasten a prosthesis to the remaining aortic wall. For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,571,171 and 5,571,173 disclose a method and apparatus for treating an abdominal aortic aneurysm by supplying a prosthesis or an aortic graft for intraluminal delivery that does not fasten the graft to the remaining aortic wall.
Presenting an aortic graft through the aorta by intraluminal delivery avoids major invasive surgery. The '171 and '173 patents disclose an aortic graft that is delivered intraluminally to the aneurysm site. The aortic graft is secured to the remaining aortic wall by a balloon that is inflated thereby causing the graft to contact and adhere to the remaining aortic wall.
The major disadvantages related to the combination of endovascular expanders, such as a balloon or stent, and prosthesis is the dilation of the natural artery with consequent migrations and periprosthetic losses. Upon withdrawal of the expander, the tissue is caused to collapse and the prosthesis disengages from the remaining aortic wall and tends to migrate to a location away from the aneurysm site to be repaired. The migration and movement of the disengaged aortic graft would then obstruct the affected vessel. The migration and movement of the aortic graft requires further treatment on the patient to remove the failed attempt to attach the aortic graft to the remaining aortic wall.
Further treatment may include major surgery that is hazardous and traumatic to the patient. Major surgery to remove the aortic graft defeats the benefits of intraluminal delivery of the aortic graft. The current state of the art does not disclose a fastener applicator that intraluminally delivers a vascular graft and endoluminally applies internal fasteners to fasten a prosthesis in place.
Accordingly, there is a present need for a fastener applicator that intraluminally delivers a vascular graft to a site within a vessel and applies fasteners to pass through both a prosthesis and the thickness of a vessel wall. The fastened prosthesis should also have the capability of following dilation of a vessel.
The invention provides systems and methods for applying a suture within a blood vessel lumen. The systems and methods advance within a blood vessel lumen a catheter tube having a distal region that carries a suture applicator. The systems and methods operate the suture applicator from a location external to the blood vessel lumen to apply a suture to an interior wall of a blood vessel lumen.
Other features and advantages of the invention will be pointed out in, or will be apparent from, the drawings, specification and claims that follow.
The invention is not limited to the details of the construction and the arrangements of parts set forth in the following description or shown in the drawings. The invention can be practiced in other embodiments and in various other ways. The terminology and phrases are used for description and should not be regarded as limiting.

Ejection head 260 is positioned in a substantially perpendicular orientation to the longitudinal axis of delivery tube 72.
It is contemplated that ejection arm 310 has alternate orientations for causing movement of ejection head 260. For example, in an alternate embodiment shown in
Drive assembly 76 is manipulated so that ejection head 260 engages band 104 of aortic graft 100 for deployment of helical fasteners 80, as illustrated in
With reference to
As shown in
It will be understood that various modifications may be made to the embodiments disclosed herein. For example, while specific preferred embodiments of the endovascular fastener applicator have been described in detail, structures that perform substantially the same function in substantially the same way to achieve substantially the same result may also be used. For example, the expandable portion may include expanding wires for supporting a prostheses in contact with a vessel wall. Also the fastener guide may be implanted completely through the thickness of the aortic graft. Further, the helical fasteners may be constructed from various suitable materials or may embody one continuous fastener that is severable at the point of insertion. Therefore, the above description should not be construed as limiting, but merely as exemplifications of preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will envision other modifications within the scope and spirit of the present disclosure.
