According to the Guardian, the basic palliative drugs have a “list price” of $10-15,000 a year while Thailand believes it could reduce this to $200 a year with cloned drugs.

blots – As the site says it’s, “cut rate internet therapy”. Each day a new vague design is posted on the website and you can give your impression of what you think it represents then see what others thought. A passably entertaining way to waste time.

Embracing the coming recession – “some people in this city [NY] are choosing to embrace their pink slips, feeling they need a break. They see a recession as … refreshing. To them, it’s an opportunity to kick back, guilt free, without panicking that others are staying up late, working weekends and getting ahead.”

I don’t know whether this is a genuine trend or just some guy intereviewing a bunch of his friends but it makes sense to me…advantage counselling credit serviceaccredited online doctoratetax forms credit adoptionhr ebook credit 24of international accreditation degreesprocesses accreditationcredit loan bad $1000in schools public accreditation Map

At last a use for WAP This service pays you £1 for answering simple surveys using your WAP phone. Of course the results will be skewed because the people who have joined the Instantintelligence “focus group” are likely to be upper income technophiles, but that’s no skin off my nose – I could just use a few extra quid!
