DESPARATELY SEEKING CURES

NEWSWEEK (2010) 5/31/39

BEGLEY & CHARMICHAEL

Basically, drugs that cure do not have a sure profit to them. Basic research is funded. However, that is to be changed with the Obama administration. Medications that you buy are risky and of low prestige to innovate. The biggest payback is to take a med that is doing well and put a tiny bit of caffeine and/or antihistamine and call it a new drug or new and improved. There is a quick better pay back.

MELTZER/10

Homeland security has a new RED CELL project where everyday

intellects/heroes think up new ways to blow up parts of the USA. They are e-mailed and meet once a year. Red Cell is like an organization created by the CIA. It was called by some bogus name but under the Office for Strategic Planning. Historians estimated that it had 6,000 members. However, the documents were unsealed and there was 24,000. The list included TV chef

Julia Child and Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg. The Red Cell is an anti-terrorist organization and has asked a number of people to participate in alternative categorical thinking or out of the box projects.

FACEBOOK(2010) 5/31

FLETCHER/ 31-37

FACEBOOK is in trouble. It is selling names and identifications to others. Or it makes it possible for hackers to get information on you. Further, you can open up to someone, but you may say something incriminating. So who is watching?  Well there is about 500 million looking on.

Face book is the fastest growing social network here in the states. From 2004 to today, the growth has been from a few to

half a billion. The owner feels that each wants control over their privacy, but do not want absolute privacy. The ideal goal is

link with huge other social networks.

If you do not want to know what is going on, go to Google and key in

"I want to delete_____________. Then put in FACEBOOK.

However, most will want to stay. They are doing well and it is a

connection to your world.

the jolt drug is Pepsi.
