"Proponents of closer European integration seldom acknowledge criticism of their project, let alone address its problems. Take, for example, waste and corruption in Brussels. The European Court of Auditors has refused to certify the EU budget for 14 years in a row. Yet no visible action has been taken to make EU accounting more transparent. If the European Union were a corporation, its top management would have been jailed long time ago."
"Instead of investigating those who extracted information from captured terrorists who had been unwilling to provide any, perhaps the Obama administration should investigate those who caused terrorists like al Shihri to be released so they resume their jihad."
"Not only did the network supply some street gangs and organized crime groups in Alberta, the reach of the operation was so broad it stretched from Vancouver to Newfoundland, police said."
"In the largest single strike at Mexican drug operations in the U.S., federal officials on Thursday announced the arrests of more than 300 people in raids across the country aimed at the newest and most violent cartel."
"With news commoditized, sellers aren't in charge of pricing. Opinion alone differentiates it and allows the purveyor to command a premium. Thus Fox's success.
Now, my friend's "context" is by definition subjective. So is Fox's. Unlike most of its competitors, Fox's "context" is conservative, which means it has a huge audience that was previously being neglected. Other major papers and networks trend left because their journalists trend left. Fox has half the nation to itself!"
"ICRF fellows have already had numerous successes: Velcade, a multiple myeloma drug, was based on Hershko and Ciechanover's discovery of the ubiquitin system. Gleevec, the first drug to directly target cancer cells, was developed based on the work of Dr. Eli Canaani of the Weizmann Institute. Doxil, the first drug encapsulated in a liposome for direct delivery to a tumor site, was developed by HU Prof. Yechezkel Barenholz and Prof. Alberto Gabizon of Shaare Zedek Medical Center. Cedar has done pioneering, world-class work on DNA methylation, a molecular process that turns genes on and off. The role of the p53 tumor suppressor gene in the majority of human cancers was elucidated by ICRF awardees Dr. Moshe Oren and Prof. Varda Rotter of the Weizmann Institute. Prof. Ephrat Levy-Lahad of Shaare Zedek discovered that a minor mutation in the RAD51 gene increases the risk of breast cancer in women with the BRCA2 gene mutation. And a novel bone marrow transplant technique was developed by Prof. Yair Reisner of the Weizmann, who thus greatly expanded the donor pool for leukemia treatment."
" But now that the City of Toronto has spent $115,000 for aesthetic improvements under the Gardiner Expressway, will they now consider fixing the cracks and holes on the asphalt atop it?
Of course, there won't be a photo opportunity complete with a taxpayer-paid catering tent, apple cider and tiny party burgers, avocado and brie for that completion. "
It's not like there isn't any graffiti around that they could have cleaned up with taxpayers' money
"According to two separate Government Accountability Office scenarios, America's long-term fiscal outlook is "unsustainable." No surprise, since Uncle Sam is spending like a drunken sailor".
