Chargers pushing for $700 million stadium in spite of city debt
Emory-- Shirley was a bit low even on the Canadian Species. Even excluding shrubs and non-native species, Canada has few more than 200 species of trees. This list is easily accessible: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trees_of_Can… Yes Belize has roughly 800-1000 known species of trees, but its a small country. One current estimate for the tropical rainforests in the Amazonian basin (roughly the size of Canada) is ~16000 species of trees: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6156/124309… The records are on the order of 350 tree species in a 100m*100m forest plot, but I don't have my copy of the Ricklefs & Schlueter 1992 Biodiversity book handy..— February 19, 2014 4:19 p.m.
La Jolla oncologist pleads guilty to importing unapproved drug
Don-- Not defending this physician (billing as Rituxan sounds like fraud), but I don't think the FDA "bureaucrats" can approve a drug without a request/application from the manufacturer (with lots of data as part of the submission). Yes approval of applications can be very slow, but I'll bet you a beer that there's no application pending for Mabthera. To what extend Mexican & Canadian clinics are due to slow FDA approval of requests v. pharmaceutical companies not wanting or applying for approval in the US is an empirical question.— January 26, 2013 4:41 p.m.
