| The government says four big drug companies conspired to help keep cheaper versions of brand name drugs over shelves. ugg wellington boots Hillary Rodham Clinton is the most sought-after author in the publishing business these days, with bidding for her memoirs topping $7 million, as outlined by an industry source. The source, who works at one of several publishing companies bidding for the senator-elect's book, spoke on condition of anonymity. The auction for that book is being conducted by Washington lawyer Robert Barnett, who declined comment. Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson had no comment either. Interest in the initial lady's book is especially strong because she's indicated she would discuss President Clinton's impeachment and his awesome affair with Monica Lewinsky. Her contract will probably exceed the $7.1 million directed at General Electric chairman Jack Welch last summer. In 1989, President Reagan received over $8 million for a two-book deal. A single person familiar with the situation, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Wednesday how the first lady wants a large advance to help you with the purchase of a house in Washington. The New York Times reported that they wants most of the money paid to her prior to end of this year. President Clinton must vacate the White House next week. In response to the Times report, a nonpartisan watchdog organization called around the senator-elect to forgo any advance, citing Senate ethics standards that call for book deals to feature "usual and customary contractual terms." "If today's news reports are true, these bankruptcies are not usual and customary terms for the book deal," said Gary Ruskin, director from the Congressional Accountability Project, based in Washington. "We urge senator-elect Clinton to forsake any book advance and take only copyright royalties on the book deal." Wolfson declared that "Hillary will be complying with all Senate rules and regulations." Following then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich's agreement with a $4.5 million book advance from HarperCollins, your house in 1995 amended its rules so that members "may not receive an advance payment on copyright royalties." Gingrich later gave up the advance in exchange for a deal that offers him royalties on book sales. The Senate does not have any such rule. The Clintons already are carrying a large mortgage around the $1.7 million house they purchased recently in Westchester County just north of New York City. Mrs. Clinton moved into the house in January, establishing residency in the state where she had never lived before. On Nov. 7, she beat Republican Rep. Rick Lazio to win the Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan. She actually is the only first lady ever elected to office.Compiled by MARC HUMBERT ©2000 The Associated Press.

A Gol airlines jet carrying 155 people apparently slammed in to the Amazon jungle at nearly 310 mph, leaving little chance of survivors, officials said Saturday.The president of Brazil's airport authority, Jose Carlos Pereira, said the newly purchased jetliner might have collided with an executive jet prior to crashing, though that was still under investigation.If no survivors are simply, it would be the worst air disaster in Brazil's history, surpassing the 1982 crash of your Vasp 747 in the northeastern city of Fortaleza that killed 137 people.Air force helicopter pilots hovering over the crash site saw no warning signs of an intact fuselage and the debris gave the impression to cover only a small area. Pereira said the plane apparently hit at nearly 310 mph.Pereira, said the wreckage is discovered near the Jarina cattle ranch, 1,090 miles northwest of Sao Paulo from the state of Mato Grosso."Our experience shows that when one cannot get the fuselage relatively intact and when the wreckage concentrates in a relatively small area, the prospect of finding any survivors are practically nonexistent," he explained.Pereira said the jungle the location where the plane crashed is so thick that authorities were planning to use helicopters to lower search and rescue crews by rope to the forest floor. Then those found on the ground would cut down trees to make areas large enough for the helicopters to land."The jungle is indeed dense that we're going to have to open it up," Pereira said. "It's a really complex operation, it's extremely humid there, high are millions of mosquitoes."The manager in the 49,500 acre ranch said the plane could possibly have crashed inside neighboring the Xingu Indian reservation, a 6.92 million-acre area."We heard a loud explosion and a few of our employees saw a plane flying low," ranch manager Milton Picalho said by phone. "Judging from the direction the noise originated from, I would say it crashed inside the reservation."Gol airlines Flight 1907 vanished Friday after leaving the jungle city of Manaus en route for Brasilia and Rio de Janeiro.The flight between Manaus and Rio is popular with foreign tourists but there wasn't any immediate word on the nationalities of people aboard.The cause of the crash was unclear, but Pereira said the jetliner could have either collided with a Legacy executive jet or the two aircraft may have grazed the other person. no previous page next 1/2 uggs shop "Unfortunately arrogance, petty party politics and opportunism prevailed.

Nyc City's goal in offering the tests is to increase the study size to convince the us government to make CT scanning the defacto standard for lung cancer detection. ugg and jimmy choo The Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday it could hire 12,500 new air traffic controllers on the next decade to offset a wave of looming retirements.FAA Administrator Marion Blakey said 435 controllers will probably be added next year, 1,249 the following year and varying amounts in subsequent years through 2014. When hiring is finished, the FAA will have 16,500 controllers, about 1,500 over now.John Carr, president from the air traffic controllers' union, said the hiring timetable is way too long."There is an immediate problem with air traffic controller staffing and also the FAA is promising a solution several years down the road," he stated in an interview before Blakey's news conference announcing the plan.It takes years to train new controllers being proficient at their jobs. Blakey has stated the use of simulators could speed the education period.Money also is an issue. Much of the FAA's revenue develops from a passenger ticket tax pegged at 7.5 % of fares. Cheaper tickets offered by discount airlines have caused the FAA's dedicated revenues to fall 8 percent in the last four years.The cost of hiring and training the staff will run into the hundreds of millions of dollars. Despite the federal government's fiscal woes, Blakey said "we do expect that type of funding will be there from Congress."Carr said he expects the FAA must slow airport infrastructure improvements and postpone purchases of recent technology to help pay for the brand new hires.The FAA has estimated that nearly half of its 15,000 controllers will retire over the following nine years. The timing with the departures can be traced to 1981, when President Reagan fired 12,000 controllers who went on strike and hired replacements.
A second person has called 911 and claimed is the shooter responsible for a string of 20 shootings around Columbus, Ohio, investigators said on Saturday.The Franklin County Sheriff's office said its communications center took the call at 2:23 a.m. Saturday coming from a man who said he was the "highway shooter.""It's gonna deteriorate. I am intended to start shooting on the police now," the caller said, as outlined by a sheriff's news release. The caller said he was achieving this because the police have "corrupted the world."It appears the letter was not made by the same individual that claimed to be the highway shooter in four 911 calls to Columbus police on Monday, the sheriff's office said.Investigators released a reproduction of the 911 call, asking people to listen to the recording and call the highway shootings tip line should they recognize the voice and have information on who the caller could be.In the earlier calls, the caller identified himself because highway shooter twice and also twice claimed to have shot a car on Interstate 71. Police did not have any reports of highway shootings on Monday.Police were investigating the woman dispatcher who took the calls for Columbus police, saying she mishandled the specific situation by not appearing to accept the calls seriously.One person may be killed in the shootings along or near Interstate 270, south of the city, since May. Nobody has been struck.No new shootings have been linked to the case since Jan. 22. The shootings have targeted cars, schools buses and buildings. ugg like boots Last month came the newest bombshell. Both EPA and the maker of StarLink, the Aventis company, released studies showing when StarLink is processed into corn oil or syrup, no suspected allergen remained.

Tired of trying to keep track of every one of the so-called superfoods you're supposed to eat?You realize, oregano that packs 42 times more antioxidants than apples, cooked tomatoes which could prevent prostate cancer, and chocolate and wine that may or may not be health foods?Then here's the good news — you can stop trying.Leading researchers say those breathless headlines, food packaging claims and seemingly contradictory studies in what antioxidants can and can't really have fostered a faulty silver bullet mind-set that could hinder health more than help.Instead, experts advise focusing on balance, moderation and variety, and leaving the phytochemicals, flavanols and phenolic acids to scientists.Researcher Jeffrey Blumberg acknowledges that "doesn't are a very sexy message. People would rather be told there is a superfood, an expression I hate because in fact there is no such thing."Foods labeled as antioxidant-rich — from bottled tea to bags of frozen berries — have become a $526 million industry that keeps growing.Even foods that otherwise have seen sales slump are getting a lift from antioxidant claims, says Phil Lempert, a food industry analyst and editor of SupermarketGuru.com. Sales of blueberry preserves, for instance, are up, though overall jam sales are down."It's clear that whether or not or not people understand what 'rich in antioxidants' means, it is certainly a logo or a stamp which says 'Buy me! I'm going to help you live forever,"' Lempert says.Maybe. Maybe not. Experts aren't suggesting antioxidants aren't important or that people shouldn't eat foods that have them. Instead, they're saying not enough is known about how they make an effort to justify focusing one's diet on any particular antioxidant or food.It's all about quashing free radicals, harmful chemicals made by the body and found in the environment that damage cells. That damage has been linked to a host of chronic conditions, from heart related illnesses to cancer, even aging.Diets abundant in antioxidants — which are in countless foods — appear to minimize this damage. What's not clear is whether that benefit is a result of the antioxidants themselves in order to the overall diet and the way the antioxidants as well as other nutrients in it interact.The data increasingly suggests the latter, says Howard Sesso, a professor of medication at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Which means eating patterns make a difference, but probably not eating particular foods or taking supplements. no previous page next 1/2 grey knitted uggs A federal judge on Wednesday jailed Nyc Times reporter Judith Miller for refusing to divulge her source with a grand jury investigating who inside the Bush administration leaked an undercover CIA operative's name."There remains a realistic possibility that confinement could potentially cause her to testify," U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan said in the showdown in a case which includes seen both President Bush and Vp Dick Cheney interviewed by investigators.CBS News Correspondent Jim Stewart reports Miller said: "I won't testify. The risks are too great. The government is simply too powerful."Hogan then responded: "If we give her a pass this time ... then we are on a very slippery slope that leads to anarchy."Miller stood up, hugged her lawyer and was escorted from your courtroom.Earlier, Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper, in an about-face, told Hogan that he would cooperate having a federal prosecutor's investigation into the leak from the identity of CIA operative Valerie plames. He said he would do so now because his source gave him specific authority for this."Last night I hugged my son goodbye and told him it will be a long time before I see him again," Cooper said because he took the podium to handle the court."I went to bed ready to accept the sanctions" for not testifying, Cooper said. But he told the judge that long before his early afternoon appearance, he'd received "in somewhat dramatic fashion" a primary personal communication from his source freeing him from his dedication to keep the source's identity secret.For Miller, "There will be no appeal now, all of the appellate issues were exhausted yesterday when the Supreme Court refused to have involved in the case," reports CBS News Legal Analyst Andrew Cohen. "So even without the a deal with the feds, Miller have been around in jail until the judge releases her, probably once the grand jury involved in the case disbands this fall."After a little while has passed, after Miller has been jail for a number of weeks or even months, Miller's attorneys can go back to court to attempt to convince the trial judge how the time for leniency has come. But unless the prosecutor backs up that request I don't think it'll have much traction."The judge speculated that Miller's confinement might cause her source to give her a more specific waiver of confidentiality, as did Cooper's.Cooper, actually talking to reporters afterward, called it "a sad time.""My heart quickly scans the blogosphere to Judy. I told her as she left a legal court to stay strong," Cooper added. "I think this clearly highlights the need for some kind of a national shield law. There's no federal shield law and that is why we find ourselves here today." no previous page next 1/3
