Imagine being the parent (and there are many!) who watched their child's fast retreat into silence and disability following a round of vaccinations upon hearing this incomprehensible dismissal!Should all parents of children, believed to be vaccine damaged, accept that this remarkable timing is a mere coincidence? Should they stop sifting through the thousands of pages of research by reputable doctors and scientists exploring

by Jared SandbergLowrie Beacham didn't like confronting people or making decisions that favored one staffer over another, including the time two of his people were vying to be in charge of the new fitness center."Instead of having one bad day and getting over it, it went on for literally years," he recalls. "You just kick the can a little farther down the road -- 'Let's have a meeting on this next month' -- anything you can try to keep from having that confrontation."Anytime his employees bristled at his gentle criticisms, he'd change the subject: "You're getting to work on time; that's wonderful!" he'd say, "Never mind that your clients say you're difficult to work with."What resulted was a dysfunctional department, he admits, "with no discipline, no confidence in where they stood, lots o

The Food and Drug Administration has announced proposed new rules to reduce potential conflicts of interest among the outside experts who advise the government on drug approval. Under the new rules, experts on advisory committees would be required to fill out a form disclosing any potential conflicts and explaining why they should still be able to advise the agency. If the FDA agrees to grant them a waiver and allow them on the committee, the disclosure form would be posted on the FDA's Web site. Under the current system, outside advisers disclose potential conflicts to the FDA, which announces when waivers are granted but does not release the disclosure documents. There has been increasing pressure from Congress to make the FDA decision-making process more transparent. Some Democrats have argued that the FDA should bar scientists with financial conflicts from review panels.Sources:Yahoo News November 15, 2007

The state university system's general counsel tried to put to rest concerns that one of FAMU's newly appointed trustees might have business interests that pose a conflict of interest. Speaking Thursday to the Board of Governors task force working to fix financial problems at FAMU, general counsel Vikki Shirley said that FAMU trustee Robert Brown, founder of a PR firm in North Carolina, no longer has contracts with the FAMU Foundation and Alumni Affairs office. Brown's previous contracts prompted National Alumni president Alvin Bryant to protest his selection, but Shirley and Ammons said Brown is not in violation of any conflict of interest policies. In fact, FAMU trustee Bill Jennings told the task force that Brown had one outstanding invoice worth $32,000 for consulting work done before his recent appointment. But Brown has decided to donate that money to FAMU.

OSLO (Reuters) - Droughts, floods and rising seas linked to global warming could spur conflicts in coming decades, experts said on Monday, the eve of a first U.N. Security Council debate on climate change.The poor in tropical regions of Africa and Asia are likely to suffer most, perhaps creating tensions with rich nations in the temperate north which are likely to escape the worst effects of warming widely blamed on use of fossil fuels."Global warming increases the potential for conflict," Janos Bogardi, head of the U.N. University's Institute for Environment and Human Security in Bonn, told Reuters."The most imminent effect is probably desertification and land degradation," he said. His group says climate change may force hundreds of millions from their homes in the long term.Bogardi said violence in the Darfur region of Sudan, where 200,000 people have died, was "probably the most prominent example" of a conflict partly caused by land degradation.In the longer term, rising seas caus
