Update | 12:45 p.m. Sentenced to 150 years in prison on Monday, Bernard L. Madoff, the convicted Ponzi schemer, got one of the nation's most severe sentences ever handed out in a white-collar crime case.
In recent years, some of the most notorious financial miscreants have received sentences of about 15 to 30 years. Below, a graphical look at of some of the longest prison terms for financial fraud, including sentences for former executives at WorldCom, Enron and the hedge fund Bayou Group.
At the relatively low end of the spectrum is Phillip R. Bennett (pictured above), who was 59 when he was sentenced to 16 years in prison for his role in the financial cover-up that eventually led to the collapse of the commodities brokerage Refco and about $1.5 billion in investor losses.
Mr. Bennett, who had been Refco's chief executive, previously pleaded guilty to 20 crimes, including conspiracy to commit securities fraud.
At the high end is Lance K. Poulsen, the founder of National Century Financial Enterprises, who in March received a 30-year prison sentence — one of the nation's harshest for a white-collar crime.
Mr. Poulsen was convicted of leading a $2.9 billion fraud that brought down National Century and triggered the bankruptcy filings of about 275 health care institutions.
"Mr. Poulsen is an architect of a fraud of such magnitude that it would make sophisticated financial analysts shudder," the judge said in handing down the sentence.
Forbes.com has a more exhaustive list of the longest white-collar prison terms. And Mr. Madoff's sentence isn't the winner by a longshot: In 2000, Sholam Weiss was sentenced to 845 years in prison for his role in a fraud scheme that siphoned $450 million from an insurance company.
can he serve any of the terms simultaneously? if so, what's the term with the longest count? i think as long as ithat term is, say, 20 years, then he will die in prison. as he should.
— Jonathan in Park Slopehe should have been sentenced to one day and given a super market cart to spend the rest of his life on the new york streets
— sam carolloAdam Smith in his monumental work, "The Wealth of Nations" published in 1776 asserted that free enterprise should be unencumbered by governmental oversight and regulation. He also suggested that the greed (self interest) inherent in capitalism must be tempered by enlightenment lest it become dysfunctional for the system at large. Thanks to the members of both national political parties, Wall Street, the banks, thrifts, hedge funds etc. were freed to pursue unregulated self interest at the expense of both individuals and our society at large. We cannot afford the current costs of the bailout and, hopefully, the taxpayers will not be called upon at some future time to rescue an unregulated economic/financial system. Greed is deeply embeded in our nature as human beings and must be regulated.
— george j. warheitWhere is the rest of the money?????
— ElliottBNote, however, that long sentences meted out to older miscreants result in a heavy burden for nursing home and health costs that will have to be borne by taxpayers. Imprisoned seniors are guaranteed better longterm healthcare coverage than law abiding seniors.
— N. E. H. HullThat would be a deserved punishment, but he would not last a week on the street considering all the victims who would (legitimately) go after him…
— Kareem CalvinMadoff was unrepentant and to think he did EVERYTHING without any help is not logical. His sons, his wife, his accountants and other execs had to have knowlegde of the scheme he was running.
Madoff fell on his sword to protect them and he fell very very hard.
Good Bye and good luck Mr. Madoff…or should I say Inmate Madoff.
— ThanosSounds like a consecutive sentence. Federal judges have to look at a chart in the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines to help compute sentences. At a certain point (I think over 30 years), the chart reads "Life." In order to reach a 150-year sentence, the judge would need to cobble together numerous sentences to run consecutively.
— NickYou have to wonder just how much time the folks involved in all the "screwy" gold and silver trading on the Comex would get if the CTFC actually started working and doing their jobs.
this stuff has been going on for years, and has destroyed not just investors, but entire sectors of the gold and silver markets.
but, we can dream, can't we? The Comex, the CTFC have just sat for years and watched four major traders move gold and silver up and down……in the case of silver, they are now short something like 50% of the world's annual gold production…….makes the hunt brothers look like pikers.
ah well, as always, guess this all is just another one they are going to ignore until it explodes. me, i can't wait for all the talk about "no one saw it coming"….except every metals investor worldwide.
— m paxtonit's great to read about that! in Italy is not imaginable a sentence of 150 years for a white collar crime! more…our..or better the actual Italian Prime minister ( he's not MY prime minister..i didn't vote for him!!) Berlusconi got a low that cancel white collet crimes by the penal code! please…please!! save us from that little man, Berlusconi, u know just some things abiut my country but u can't really imagine what living here means! Mr Obama..you are too different by Berlusconi so , please, don't call him "my friend"…i can't believe it's so!!
— roberto frattiniWhat are we as a society gaining from these long sentences? Our taxes will pay for their prison sentences – $20,000 a year or more. We also have to pay for their medical care, which could be expensive for prisoners in Madoff's age group..
It is not clear how Madoff's victims will benefit from his long prison sentence. A feeling of righteousness won't go far to paying their living expenses or funding their retirements.
It is also not clear that this sentence will deter others. Most large-scale criminals don't think they will get caught, no matter what happens to others. The smaller-scale criminals just act impulsively or don't understand the intricacies of the laws.
Other countries do not impose such long prison terms, yet they're not drowning in crime. Instead, they have funds for public works and health care. We need to rethink our priorities.eeeee
— CarolineCaroline, you forgot to mention what you think would be "fair". Ten years? Twelve, like he asked for? That's about all he has left; we'd still have to pay for his health care, etc.
Society cannot "gain" from this in any literal way; it's more like the government will do what is necessary to make sure that at least his greed will not ruin other people's lives while he prospers from doing so.
It never ceases to amaze me how people like you conveniently "forget" that "Punishment"; not just rehabilitation and/or forced compensation, is still one of the consequences for breaking the law and getting convicted for it.
And don't for a minute think we all agree that this won't "deter others". It won't end this kind of crime, of course, but it will make a lot of people think twice before taking the first step.
Personally, I'm afraid to even hear your priorities, let alone "re-visit" them.
— LPBI agree with Thanos. It is not logical to think that his wife and sons' were not knowlegible of the ponzi scheme. I think they all knew and did not think they would get caught especially since he had the regulators in their pockets for years
I think the the prosecuters let this family off easy.
The more lax the regulation of the investment business, the more crooks are drawn to it, like flies to honey, and the bigger the frauds become before they are discovered. Penalties and fines mean nothing, it is only prevention that counts. Don't let them tell you they are on top of things because Madoff went to jail for 150 years. It makes no difference whether this pathetic man gets 20 years or 50 years or 1,000 years. Only a scheme of regulation that would have prevented him from carrying out his fraud or uncovered it before so much damage was done would have made a difference.
— GBCGBC — what we all have to understand is that we may have all the regulation in the world, if it is not enforced, it is useless. Which is the point. Nothing is being enforced now if it involves any of the big banks, hedge funds or traders. NOTHING. So we are at the point where they are now all grabbing whatever they can as the house burns down.
If you go to the SlopeofHope (.com), you can read about the guy that the SEC Boston chose to pursue instead of Madoff. Makes you want to cry.
— m paxtonAfter Enron I began aggitating (at dinner parties only, but still, thinking about it) that punishment ought not only be for the depth of the crime (loss of life being the deepest) but also for the breadth of the crime. Steal $100 from a million people, you ought to get more punishment than stealing $100 from 20 people.
Madoff destroyed families, people have committed suicide after his scheme unravelled and many non profits and pension plans are in deep trouble.
I think 150 years is equitable.
I would still like his family to be investigated.
— Liat SNancy Falchuk of Hadassah, who where robbed of 90 million dollars by Madoff:
Today, six months later, Falchuk, 63, claims that Hadassah is "long over" what Madoff did, but prefers not to mention his name and refers to him as "that man." However, the global financial crisis did more damage to the organization, she claims, than the Madoff scam.
Falchuk: "The crisis hit us much harder than the other one [caused by Madoff]. He was just the icing on the cake. He was only one of 24 investment managers we worked with. When the market collapsed, it hurt us much more. The 'bad guy' in this story is the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. That is the body that should have been watching over our money, and that should be the target of all the frustration."
here, so relevant…….the slip heard "round the world"……..
and where o where is the SEC????????????????????
yes, when this all comes down on our heads, we're going to hear once again how "no one saw this coming"……
Nope….no one did except every day trader on the planet.
— m paxtonIf Bernie is evil, why did he not pack up millions and leave, relocate where he could live out the rest of his life in the comfort and luxury he was accustomed to, anonymously and without recrimination? I want to know more about his mind, his soul and his body. And the landscape he lived. Folks we don't know Bernie Madof. We don't know anything but the basic shell of man in a suit and a fraud and a plea. This is Greek Tragedy. But what myth(s)? What diagnoses? What Shakespearean drama? How many villains? How many real victims? How many tricksters and heroes with thousands of faces? Since Bernie is taking the fall for everything what does that make him beyond the scapegoat for all these people and their bursting bubbles? What is the definition of victim? Who's going to write this epic? Who's qualified? Bernie, will you tell us what you were thinking? What are you thinking now? Buy this man a tape recorder. Ruth – who are you? Who are we?
— LoisWell did he get the punishment that the man deserved?.Probably yes, but 20 years without parole would have been enough, he will die in prison. But more importantly how is this fraud going to be resolved, the people that made money of the scheme will go on to bigger and better things and the people that lost the money will suffer and scramble to restore their lives in some ways.
What I think should have been handed down to Madoff is an office and a 16 hour work day until he personally restores the accounting for the scam from day one. Since all of the accounting was fraudulent he is probably the only one that can reverse engineer his scam. What it means that all of the profits paid to all the players should be accounted for and returned, and if at all possible, most of the losses suffered by other parties should be covered by these profits. In other words share and share alike for all of the greedy investors in this enormous scheme.
— Alex M.our entire society is steeped in fraud and criminality. this is merely an incident in the ubiquitous plundering of american workers by our biggest bankers and corporations.
— prrBernie Madoff is a very smart fellow. This prison term is just his retirement from that heavy dinner parties, expensive wines and a lot of tiring travel. Now he gets the best healthcare and a lot of free time. His family can visit him, while enjoying all those riches he left for them.
Madoff is laughing with his rare-end at the judiciary, press, SEC, public at large and most importantly those investors who were blinded with the returns he was showing. We need some primitive law to punish these unrepentant, although educated, criminals.
It's bad enough that most of us have to WORK for every dollar we make, now we can't even trust the so called "experts" who are supposed to help us with "financial independence".
Just ONE MORE EXAMPLE of the rich sticking it to the poor.
How many of you have to work extra hard, just to be able to retire? Heck, just to be able to take a one week vacation each year.
It's ridiculous! While the rich are upgrading their jets, the rest of us are trying to pay for dental coverage.
It's like Dukes and peasants all over again.

The debt ceiling: Right fight, wrong time
House Republicans want President Obama to agree to spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling (which allows the federal government to continue borrowing money). The President says there is no way he will do that. As he put it at Monday's press conference, you don't go to dinner and then skip out on the tab. But once you have maxed out your credit cards, shouldn't you stop eating out?
The Republicans view the debt ceiling increase as their one chance to squeeze spending concessions from a President who otherwise will never agree to reduce federal appropriations. The trouble with forcing that standoff is that Republicans cannot win it. Obama will stand firm, and they will have to flinch or shut down the government. Either way, Obama wins and Republicans lose more credibility, which makes it harder to force a showdown on spending on more favorable ground in the future.
Of course, default is not inevitable should the ceiling not be raised. As Bloomberg View columnist Caroline Baum wrote in these pages on Tuesday, if Congress does not authorize more borrowing, the administration can pay our debts with current tax revenues, thereby avoiding default. Obama just has to stop paying for a lot of other things, including entitlements. But Republicans won't win this political battle by trying to explain that technical point in 20-second snippets on the evening news.
A responsible President would have put the federal government on the path to a balanced budget by now. Obama has no desire to do that, which means Republicans will have to force his hand at some point. This is not that point.

After much planning and anticipation the festivities for the Lewisporte Come Home Year 2012 are set to get underway.
Beginning on Friday and continuing on into next week, friends and family will have many opportunities to come together and share in the community celebration.

Residents of the surrounding communities (and beyond) are also connected to Lewisporte and are encouraged to take part. So it's basically an open invitation to everyone who would like to join in the festivities.
The events get underway on Friday evening with an adult only Kitchen Party featuring a variety of local entertainers.
Saturday head to the Scott Martin Memorial Field for the co-ed softball tournament and follow that up by catching up with acquaintances at the Meet and Greet that evening featuring guest speaker Bonavista-Gander-Grand Falls-Windsor MP Scott Simms.
New and experienced kayakers can make their way to the Woolfrey's Pond Municipal Park beach on Sunday for a free lesson. That evening there will be an ecumenical service with emcee Glenn Tetford and guest speaker Glen Newman from Teen Challenge.
For those interested in street hockey there will be a tournament at the tennis court for participants age 10-15 on Monday.
On Tuesday fill up with a Newfie Bruch at the Kin Centre and then walk it off with a hike at Woolfrey's Pond. Then fill up again with a BBQ at the beach.
Comedy night will be fun for the adults, featuring comedians Steve Coombs and John Sheehan.
Everyone is encouraged to join in the walking parade from the mall to the grand opening of the new track. Live entertainment and a community BBQ will follow.
The second annual Lewisporte Harbour Cup will also be fun to watch or participate in on Wednesday.
Then next Thursday there will be a kite-flying event, with kites being provided.
Throughout the week the Hann's Point Players Theatre Festival have performances scheduled.
This is just a bit of what is planned. The full Come Home Year schedule with times and locations can be found at the Town of Lewisporte website at www.lewisportecanada.com, as well as the events slated for the Mussel Bed Soiree which immediately follows the Come Home Year.
Hats off to the organizers and volunteers of Come Home Year who have combined efforts to make this week a memorable one for all involved.

Jordan's king says he's ready to fend off threats | ||||||||||||||||
AMMAN, Jordan (AP) -- Jordan's king says his nation is prepared to fend off any threats from its larger Syrian neighbor. Abdullah II says Jordan "will emerge victorious in the face of all challenges, the way we always have in the past" as he addressed cadets graduating from Jordan's largest military academy on Sunday. He said should the worsening Syrian crisis "become a threat to our country, we are capable at any time to take the necessary measures to protect our country and people's interests." Jordan is hosting multinational military exercises involving thousands of U.S. troops. The U.S. has also agreed to install Patriot missiles along Jordan's 375-kilometer (233-mile) border with Syria and is allowing a squadron of 12 to 24 F-16 fighter jets to remain with its key Arab ally after the exercises. © 2013 The Associated Press.

Apple gets patent for TV and 5D technology
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted the company maker a patent today for a way to connect humans to computers using sensors, touch screens, and virtual reality gloves.
Patently Apple noticed it first today, calling it a "single, wild, and crazy patent," with "the widest range of applications I've ever seen."
The patent outlines advanced 5D technology, interactive gaming (think Kinect or Wii), video conferencing, and the ability to recognize a particular signature, say someone's palm, for starting a car or sending signals to another kind of device.
Apple thinks the technology may replace keyboards, according to the patent application. Additionally, the screen material could be made out of anything, which led Apple to dream up the suggestion of a front screen made of Kevlar. The user can shoot bullets at the screen and the computer would calculate where bullets land and at what force - something that can be used by shooting ranges.
The technology doesn't just apply to screens. It can be used in situations where there isn't physical touching but a user can change the resistance to something, i.e. thermal, air, or electromagnetic. This sounds like you will be to control things by moving your hands around in the air.
See the full patent application below.

Hi eveyone. i have just got my Krakens jersey and WOW! what a bit of kit it is! it got me wondering how many people have got one of these in the UK?
See it dosent bother me, if someone asks then i can spread the word. And i think Amerian football is wrongly named. How often is the ball kicked????
I always thought it was called football because someone thought the ball was roughly foot shaped and sized and called IT a football. Then the sport was just named after the ball used.
Which really shows that sports are usually given stupid names.
That wouldnt surprise me at all. I dont know how American Football was started but i know Rugby was invented when someone at a university broke the 'no hands' rule of football (soccer) Although i have to say as someone that has owned many football jerseys over the years if all American football jersey's are like the Krackens one then American Football definately has the upper hand on quality of kit.
It's all egg chasing to me. I would have never considered the intricacies of American football before reading The Rookie, but now even with my small knowledge of the game I am sure I could watch a match.
I am just worried about giving up the 3 to 4 hours it takes to complete.
yeah i struggle to sit through a 90min game of football! lol although being at a football game is a different kettle of fish then watching on TV.

Divide the filling among all the hollowed-out potatoes. Using the same cookie sheet you roasted them on, bake the potatoes in the oven until the tops are golden brown. Remove and garnish with chives.
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
In a small saute pan over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Cool and then chop. Place the potatoes in a bowl and drizzle with EVOO, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bake in the oven on a cookie sheet for 45 minutes to an hour until they are cooked through; you may have to rotate the pan so they brown evenly. Remove from the oven. When cool enough to handle, cut a thin lid from the top of each potato. Using a small teaspoon or melon baller, scoop out the inside of the potato, leaving a half-inch border from the edge.

Stacked Pot Surprise
This playful stack of cobalt blue pots planted with the succulent string of pearls (Senecio rowleyanus) was created by a friend of mine, Annie*. The containers sit on top of a ceramic stool in a corner of her garden during the warmer seasons. Amazingly, the glaze on the stool picks up the hues of the blue pots and the green foliage of the succulent plant.
Originally, Annie purchased one senecio growing in a four-inch pot. She divided it, planting the division into three pots filled with good potting soil and extra pumice mixed in for better drainage. Even though the plant has never been fertilized, four years and three winters later, it still looks fresh in the garden.
This senecio is a tender plant in the Northwest, so Annie protects it in an unheated sunroom during winter. While the plant is dormant, water is withheld.
*Annie is not her real name; she prefers to remain anonymous.

"Abu Hatim ar-Razi was born near Ray around 260/874. He was the hujjat of Ray, and conducted the mission with great efficiency and promptness. He studied Ismaili doctrines, also Arabic poetry, and the religious science of Islam, comparative religion and indeed the natural and mathematical sciences. He succeeded to bring the ruler of Ray, Ahmad bin Ali (307-311/92O-924) to the Ismaili fold, who was formerly aggressive to the Ismailis. Abu Hatim also deputed his subordinate da'is in Tabaristan, Ispahan, Azerbaijan and Jurjan; resulting a large conversion, including Mardav ad-Daylami, the governor of Tabaristan; Yousuf bin Abi'l Saj, the governor of Azerbaijan, and Asfar bin Shroya. Abu Hatim was a great philosopher, orator and writer. W. Ivanow writes in A Creed of the Fatimids (Bombay, 1936, p. 5) that, "Abu Hatim ar-Razi surely was one of the most erudite authors that Ismailism, and generally, Islam has ever produced." Seyyed Hossein Nasr writes in the introduction of A'lam al-Nubuwwah (ed. by Salah al-Sawy, Tehran, 1977, p. 1) that, "He is one of the most outstanding theologians and philosophers of Islam and a major figure in that galaxy of exceptional thinkers, such as Hamid al-Din Kirmani, Nasir-i Khusraw and Qadi Numan, who produced the Ismaili philosophy of the Fatimid period."
The most acclaimed of his works is Kitab az-Zina designed as an encyclopaedia of Islamic terminologies with a large store of useful informations. Idris Imaduddin (d. 872/1468) writes in the 5th volume of Uyun'l-Akhbar that it was greatly admired by Imam al-Qaim when it was presented to him, and he gave it to his son, al-Mansur in a gift, commanding to keep it secret.
Abu Hatim left Ray in 311/924 and sided with Asfar bin Shroya (d. 319/931). He acquired many converts in Daylam and Gilan, including Asfar bin Shroya's deputy, Mardawij bin Ziyar (d. 323/935). According to Hamiduddin Kirmani in al-Aqwal al-Dhahabiyya (Tehran, 1977, pp. 2-3), "The famous disputation between Abu Hatim and the physician-philosopher, Abu Bakr Muhammad bin Zakaria ar-Razi (251-313/865-925) took place in Mardawij's presence." The discussion concerning Prophethood is given in his A'lam al-Nubuwwah. He answered the questions of Zakaria ar-Razi that how he necessitated that only one nation would be favoured and given superiority over others. He also argued that his conception regarding the eternity of five principles, namely God, Soul, Matter, Space and Time was absurd. He also discussed logically the questions relating to blind faith, analogy, miracles etc.
Mardawij at first supported Abu Hatim, but started enmity against the Ismailis. Thus Abu Hatim returned to Ray, thence he proceeded to Azerbaijan and took refuge with a local ruler called, Muflih. He died in 322/934 in Daylam, and after him, the Ismailis of Khorasan and Transoxania became disordered, and finally their leadership came to the hands of Abdul Malik al-Kawkabi, who resided in Girdkuh, the future stronghold of the Nizari Ismailis.

Watch an interview with Dr. Horwitz
Video courtesy of AACR
Drs. Horwitz and McDaid have focused their efforts on understanding the mechanisms by which microtubule stabilizing drugs, such as taxol and discodermolide, cause cell death and suppress cell division by inducing senescence, which permanently arrests the growth cells. Their studies indicate that several microRNAs become altered during senescence and that treatment of breast cancer cells with a specific microRNA causes cell death instead of senescence, which is a novel finding that is therapeutically promising. Drs. Horwitz and McDaid also have evaluated the anti-tumor activity of unique taxol-like molecules in breast cancer cells and several have emerged as potential lead candidates that have a stronger ability to induce cell death than taxol. In 2012-2013, Drs. Horwitz and McDaid will center on three major areas. First, they will further characterize drug-resistant breast cancer cell lines that have entered senescence as triggered by chemotherapies but then reverted back to cell-growth again. Secondly, this team will perform structure-activity relationship (SAR) analyses of novel microtubule-stabilizing drugs to provide additional insights into the interactions between these compounds with breast cancer cells. Third, Drs. Horwitz and McDaid aim to determine whether mitosis, or the process in cell division by which the nucleus divides and replicates, influences the induction of senescence in response to chemotherapy.
Mid-year Progress: The BCRF-funded project led by Drs. Horwitz and McDaid is focused on elucidating novel mechanisms of action and resistance to microtubule-stabilizing drugs, such as taxol. As part of this program, Drs. Horwitz and McDaid have focused efforts on understanding the effects of chemotherapy drugs on cell fate, that is, the ability of a drug to cause tumor cells to die, stop proliferating, or even survive.
One of the outcomes of chemotherapy in which Drs. Horwitz and McDaid are interested is senescence, a form of growth arrest that can sometimes be beneficial but in other contexts can be harmful and actually promote relapse. This is caused by the unique ability of many senescent cells to release inflammatory signals that attract and modify the behaviors of immune cells so that they favor the ability of the cancer cells to survive, grow and migrate to other tissues. Drs. Horwitz and McDaid have generated several chemotherapy-resistant cancer cell lines that were derived from a senescent precursor state; thus senescent tumor cells occasionally resume cell growth. They have studied the characteristics of these resistant cells and have identified key proteins that they rely on for survival, and production of proinflammatory molecules. They are now testing the efficacy of specific drugs that target these key proteins to determine their potential to prevent or limit senescence induction in tumors, and/or to suppress production of pro-inflammatory molecules in senescent cells, or drug-resistant cells that originate from a senescent state. In a related aim, Drs. Horwitz and McDaid are also testing novel drugs that are hybrid molecules that possess the chemical moieties of taxol fused to the chemical components of another microtubule-stabilizing drug. These novel drugs are being tested for their ability to cause cell death rather than senescence in breast cancer cells. Combined, these studies have the potential to advance our understanding of why some patients respond poorly to chemotherapy; develop novel strategies to identify these patients in the clinical; and develop alternate treatment therapies to improve survival.
Bio: Dr. Susan Band Horwitz is a Distinguished University Professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Associate Director for Therapeutics at the Albert Einstein Cancer Center. She grew up in Boston and after graduating from Bryn Mawr College, received her PhD in Biochemistry from Brandeis University.
Dr. Horwitz has had a continuing interest in natural products as a source of new drugs for the treatment of cancer. Her laboratory has made Taxol, a drug isolated from the yew plant, Taxus brevifolia, a major focus of its work. Although no one was interested in Taxol when she began her studies, today it is an important anti-tumor drug that has been given to over a million patients. Dr. Horwitz' research played an important role in encouraging the development of Taxol by the National Cancer Institute.
Dr. Horwitz and her collaborators demonstrated that the effects of Taxol were due to a novel interaction between the drug and microtubules, the latter being essential for the pairing and segregation of chromosomes during cell division. Her pioneering investigations and perceptive analysis of the results identified Taxol as a prototype of a new class of anti-tumor drugs. Extensive research has led to major insights into several aspects of the chemistry and biology of Taxol. Dr. Horwitz also has made significant contributions to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying Taxol resistance in tumor cells.

NEW York police have arrested a man accused of raping a 73-year-old bird watcher in Central Park in an assault that has shocked America's biggest city.
"Someone has in fact been arrested and charges are pending," a spokesman for the New York Police Department said.
The officer said the suspect would be publicly identified later.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly says the elderly bird watching enthusiast was mugged and raped on Wednesday in broad daylight near Strawberry Fields, the memorial to murdered Beatle John Lennon.
The victim told the New York Post she'd run into the man recently when he was masturbating in the world famous park and had taken a picture of him.
On Wednesday, he allegedly jumped on her and stole her camera, which she had for taking pictures of birdlife in the park's woods.
A passer-by found her beaten and lying on the ground.
The woman, who has not been identified, told the Post she had no forgiveness for her assailant.
"Kill him. Cut off his penis," she said.
"I hope he goes to jail for a long time and he gets raped over and over again."

Salt flavours and conserves. It is an indispensable ingredient of our nutrition, and therefore also possesses great importance in food production, where the focus is on its function as a condiment and preservative - and, of course, on a certified and guaranteed salt quality.
Most European countries are iodine-deficiency areas. To avoid illnesses caused by iodine deficiency, the use of iodized food-grade salt is recommended. Furthermore, food-grade salt can also be used as a vehicle for a variety of active substances, e.g. fluoride. It can also be mixed with herbs, spices and flavourings.
To the food industry esco offers a variety of rock and vacuum salt products that are certified according to DIN-EN ISO 9001 and HACCP. Steady quality and specific granulation are very important in food processing – and, of course, they are constantly monitored in our quality management system.

It's no secret that science fiction fans can get a little overexcited about their franchise of choice, but things got heated last Thursday when the local Star Wars club of Norwich, England and a delegation from the Norwich Sci Fi Club, a group of Doctor Who devotees, got into a physical altercation at the Norwich Sci-Fi and Film Convention, hosted by the Star Wars club at the University of East Anglia. Apparently, the two groups had a longstanding feud that came to blows when the Sci Fi Club decided to show up on the Star Wars group's turf to get a signature from Gram Cole, an actor from the time-travel series that currently stars Matt Smith. Though fandom disputes don't usually escalate to blows, this is hardly the first time otherwise peacefully geeky communities have run afoul of each other.

Publishers' Craziest Schemes to Avoid Book Spoilers
The news that the translators of Dan Brown's new book Inferno were basically isolated from the world for two months to avoid any chance of them leaking its plot was enough to elicit a collective bewildered shaking of the head at Flavorwire central. Still, it's not even the batshit craziest thing that publishers have done over the years to avoid details of their precious books leaking before publication — as an industry, publishing has embraced the embargo-based insistence on secrecy so beloved of Hollywood, especially when it comes to books likely to sell in the bazillions (i.e., anything by JK Rowling). Here are some of the craziest schemes concocted to avoid leaks. … Read More

Watch Buffy, Lisbeth, and Katniss Star in 'BAMF Girls Club'
The women on Bad Girls Club have nothing on our favorite fictional heroines. Sure, they can drink and swear and get into brawls and generally cause a ruckus, but can they save the world from vampires and demons approximately once per season? Can they survive a dystopic teen death match? Are they master hackers who torture and/or set fire to every deranged misogynist they encounter? Nope, and that's why we much prefer BAMF Girls Club, a hilarious new web series that finds Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Lisbeth Salander (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games), Michonne (The Walking Dead), Hermione Granger (Harry Potter), and Bella Swan (Twilight) sharing a house and stepping into the reality TV spotlight. In the first episode, which you can watch below, Buffy and Hermione get awkward about witchcraft and, to our great relief, we learn that Bella's only there for the purpose of hilarious contrast. … Read More
These Are the Books That Make You Totally Undateable
[Editor's note: It's Labor Day, so your devoted Flavorwire team is taking a break. To keep you entertained, we're leaving you with our most popular features of the summer months. This post originally ran June 15th.] We've always wondered how many people read specific books to seem cool — and how many people deftly sidestep talking about the books that perhaps cast them in a less-than-flattering light. Recently, we were tickled by an edition of Ask the Paris Review, wherein the always-delightful Sadie Stein answered the question "What's a book I should read to make girls think I'm smart in a hot way?" by polling her friends and colleagues. The answers, of course, varied widely, proving that it sort of depends on the girl.
Though it's good to know what to do to seem appealing to the opposite sex, it's also good to know what not to do — that is, to know which books might send a potential mate running for the hills should they be spotted on your nightstand or peeking out from your back pocket. In the interest of seeing the full picture, we asked both men and women of various sexual orientations to share the books that they think render their devotees totally undateable. So click through to see which titles you should avoid like the plague — or at least hide in a desk drawer somewhere when you're entertaining — and don't forget to pitch in with the books that would make you cut and run in the comments. … Read More
These Are the Movies That Make You Totally Undateable
Over the past couple of weeks, we've started some fierce conversations (and ruffled a few feathers) with our features on books and bands that send up red flags among the dating population of Flavorpill's staff, writers, and readers. With movies, it can get a bit more complicated — after all, a movie is a short commitment, so we can all be forgiven for seeing (and liking) some dogs, or for taking in films that dabble in disturbing subject matter. Where it gets worrisome is when you're at the potential someone-special's place, glancing over their DVD shelf, and a title jumps out that you realize they not only paid good money for, but wanted to keep around for repeat viewings. Thus, with the help of readers and colleagues (names kept anonymous to protect, well, everyone), here are some of the movies that you might want to clear from your shelves and queues if you're heading out into the dating pool. Check them out after the jump, and add your own horror stories in the comments. … Read More
Selected Strange and Unintended Consequences of Pop Culture Trends
As writers of television, films, and books tend to find out, you can't control what people do with the stories you create. Once you release them to the general public, fans tend to grab hold of aspects of your work that you least expected, cruising right past the message to embrace, say, the cool gadgets or fashion, or even something that has literally nothing to do with the stories themselves. We imagine, for example, that with Brave, The Hunger Games, and The Avengers all premiering within a few months of each other, there are going to be a whole lot of kids signing up for archery lessons at summer camp this year, and we can bet Suzanne Collins wasn't thinking about that at all while writing a series of novels about kids murdering each other. We've compiled a few weird unintended — and often fairly disastrous — real-life fads inspired by hit pop culture franchises. Let us know if you can think of any more (although, honestly, maybe we don't want to know). … Read More
Happy Super Moon: A Brief Overview of the Moon in Pop Culture
Werewolves, it's time to lock yourselves up extra tight (probably in the library cage, if you're Oz) — tonight, the full moon will be a "supermoon," that is, even bigger and brighter than usual. The phenomenon is caused when the moon becomes full at the same time as it comes closest to the earth in its orbit, and has been linked to various natural disasters — though science tells us that's all nonsense. To celebrate the lunar event, you'll probably be wanting to indulge in some moon-related pop culture, so we've collected 30 culturally relevant moons and moon-related phenomena for your perusal. Click through to check out the moon in all its phases in pop culture, and let us know if we've missed your favorite lunar shout outs in the comments. … Read More
