European Medicines Agency And Heads Of Medicines Agencies Propose Measures To Make Information In Application Dossiers More Transparent
The European Medicines Agency and the Heads of Medicines Agencies (HMA) have released a guidance document on the identification of commercially confidential information and protection of personal data within the structure of the marketing-authorisation dossier for public consultation. The draft document, which is open for comment until 1 September 2011, outlines the types of information included in marketing-authorisation applications that can be released following a request for access to documents, once a marketing authorisation has been granted...
Brandon McCarthy: 10 MLB Player Twitter Accounts You Should Be Following
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Bleacher Report asking me to write a few articles for the site. Apparently they found my Twitter account "funny" and wanted to see if that would carry over to pieces that were more than 140 characters.
I'm pretty sure it won't, due to a crushing lack of self-confidence, but I'll give it a shot.
On the outside, Twitter and athletes seem like a match made in heaven. The idea of being able to connect with fans directly, give your own updates, set stories straight and show your true personality seems like a dream scenario for pro athletes, who always feel misrepresented. But because athletes, and more specifically baseball players, have a general fear of the Internet, the love connection has been slow to form.
Thankfully, that's starting to change.
So with that in mind, I've come up with a list of the 10 MLB Twitter accounts that you have* to follow.
* You really don't have to follow any of these because, to be honest, this list is poorly researched and you'd be better served reading The Onion. My laziness really had a chance to shine as I researched this, so basically it's a list of people I've played with or know personally, with a few others sprinkled in.
Off-Duty Paramedic Saves Toddler After 5-Story Fall

Tupac Is Back? PBS Website Hacked, Bogus Story Claims Rapper Is Alive
NEW YORK-- Rumors that Tupac Shakur is alive spread quickly this weekend after hackers published a false story on the PBS News Hour website claiming that the deceased rapper is living in New Zealand.
The fake story reported:
Prominent rapper Tupac has been found alive and well in a small resort in New Zealand, locals report. The small town - unnamed due to security risks - allegedly housed Tupac and Biggie Sma...

Report: Honda Canada owner database hacked, 283,000 customers at risk
Filed under: Technology, Honda, Canada
Reuters is reporting that personal information from more than 283,000 Honda Canada customers has been stolen by cyber criminals. The data includes names, addresses, vehicle identification numbers and, most importantly, some financing account information.
Still, Honda maintains that the profiles don't contain the goods necessary for identity theft. Crooks typically need bank account numbers, email addresses and birth dates to pull off a successful cyber heist. Honda Canada had collected the consumer information back in 2009 when it urged its customers to register for on MyAcura and MyHonda sites.
The automaker first became aware that something was awry when traffic to both sites shot through the roof. Shortly thereafter, an inordinate number of unauthorized attempts to access member accounts hit the radar as well. On May 13th, a letter was sent out to owners who potentially had their personal data compromised.
This isn't the first time that Honda has been the victim of an online attack. Just last year, 2.2 million vehicle owners had their personal information stolen from the Japanese automaker's databases.

Breakfast Topic: Do you enjoy soloing instances and raids?
It all started one lazy Saturday afternoon when I decided to head into Karazhan alone for a shot at my very own Fiery Warhorse. Attumen went down easily enough, and I didn't have much else to do, so I decided to see just how much of the raid I could solo. A couple hours later, I had cleared the entire place -- even soloing the chess event after a bit of trial and error.
Suddenly, I had the soloing bug. I was compelled to see just how many old raids I could clear all by my lonesome. Molten Core and AQ10 both fell effortlessly before my wrath, and most of AQ40 went down until I was blocked by the twin emperors. Perhaps I was feeling a little overconfident when I stopped by Icecrown Citadel, because I ended up a bloodstain on the floor before even reaching Lord Marrowgar.
Now, I'm no Raegwyn or Jider, but I'm having a lot of fun anyway, so I forsee a lot of solo attempts in my future. I'm looking forward to seeing which bosses I can kill and which ones have mechanics I simply won't be able to overcome.
So, I'm curious how many of you have ever taken a stab at extreme soloing. If you have, what drew you to it? Do you have any favorite moments to share from your exploits? If you haven't, is it because of the class you play or does the idea just not interest you?
