I never knew that......

I feel like I learned it in school but forgot.


Before a company can make a generic drug, its bioequivalent brand-name counterpart must have been created, approved and distributed. While a pharmaceutical company is making a new brand-name drug, a patent ensures that company may develop, manufacture and sell the drug for a certain amount of time. Patent time frames vary, and in most situations, a patent cannot be renewed after it expires. In the United States, an average drug patent lasts for 17 years.

Also a med has to be out 10 years before a generic can be made.

- U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) took home $540,341 in total last year  and gave $440,000 of it -- in cash, property and stock -- to charity, according to his 2013 tax returns, NBC reported.
The benevolent senator who once saved a neighbor from a burning building  and took a self-imposed food stamp challenge, has restored our faith in humanity again, but this time it was just by reaching into his own wallet.

U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) took home $540,341 in total last year  and gave $440,000 of it -- in cash, property and stock -- to charity, according to his 2013 tax returns, NBC reported.

Most of his earnings came from speaking engagements, which earned the former mayor of Newark more than $410,000.

While the specific figures haven’t been released, the AIDS Resource Foundation for Children in Newark, the American Cancer Society, a number of Newark churches and Omni Prep Academy, a charter school founded by his brother, were the groups that benefited from Booker’s generosity, according to NJ.com.

Still, the senator’s charitable efforts weren’t without some controversy.

After Booker came under severe scrutiny for raising $1.75 million with help from Silicon Tech titans for his video startup Waywire, he cut all ties with the company and donated his ownership interest to charity, The New York Times reported in September. His interest was valued between $1 and $5 million.

"These steps are being taken to remove even the perception that the mayor’s attention would be diverted from his job as senator or that he would stand to personally benefit in any way from his holdings in the company," the mayor’s campaign spokesman, Kevin Griffis, said in a statement.

While the Japanification of markets has been a much-discussed topic in recent years, the two nations share another disturbing trend. In 2012, the land of the rising sun saw sales of adult diapers exceed those of baby diapers... and as the following chart from The Wall Street Journal  shows, that trend is rapidly occurring in the land of the free...
“Procter & Gamble Co. is getting back into a business it exited more than a decade ago—making products for adults suffering from incontinence—as it takes aim at the growing ranks of aging Americans.

Births peaked in the U.S. at 4.32 million in 2007  and declined for five years before leveling off recently. Some 3.96 million babies were born in the U.S. last year, according to preliminary data from the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention.

The number was up slightly from 2012, but the country’s fertility rate dropped to a record low of 62.9 births per 1,000 women of childbearing age.

Meanwhile, over 3 million Americans are now turning 65 each year, according to the Pew Research Center.”

Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny have only appeared once together in a movie (Who Framed Roger Rabbit). The only stipulation was that they both had to have the same amount of screen time.

 Burger King Introduces a Burger with Black Bun, Sauce, and Cheese in Japan

Blackboard. Blackberry. Black widow. But a black burger?
Yup. A dark-colored hamburger — that isn't burnt — is now being sold in Japan by fast-food giant Burger King. Called the Kuro Burger, it features a black bun, meat with black pepper, and black cheese. The bread and cheese contain bamboo charcoal, popular in Japanese cuisine. The sandwich also has an onion-and-garlic sauce made dark with squid ink. But don't be alarmed — squid ink is commonly used for cooking, food coloring, and flavoring. The other use is confined to the ocean.

Burger King is offering Japanese customers two varieties of the Kuro — the Pearl and the Diamond. The Kuro Pearl is filled with basic ingredients (listed above); the Kuro Diamond is spruced up with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, which add a little color to the dark sandwich.

Is the Kuro the first dark take on the American classic? No. The French delivered their own version of the coal-black burger not too long ago, in a galaxy not too far, far away. In January 2012, the French fast-food chain Quick introduced a similar option in time for the release of "Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace 3D." Again, it was a black-bun burger but with two tiers, along the lines of McDonald's Big Mac. And it was probably better than the movie it was celebrating.

Burger King's Kuro Pearl and Kuro Diamond are available only in Japan, for a limited time.

my co worker was talking about that last night, his son got that **** from his two nieces (and i live in MI)

doubt it, visa or mastercard easily has more access to credit cards, seeing as they are credit card companies

but that is impressive, i didnt think that many people used itunes

edit: is having itunes software the same as having an account?  ive never given my cc info to itunes, but i use it to put music on my ipod
