Neither party’s leaders in Congress would claim responsibility for inserting the new provision, which was tucked into the final pages of the more than 1,600-page spending bill on Tuesday evening.
Posing as representatives of oil and coal companies, reporters from Greenpeace UK asked academics from Princeton and Penn State to write papers promoting the benefits of CO2 and the use of coal in developing countries.
The professors agreed to write the reports and said they did not need to disclose the source of the funding.
Citing industry-funded documents – including testimony to state hearings and newspaper articles – Professor Frank Clemente of Penn State said: “In none of these cases is the sponsor identified. All my work is published as an independent scholar.” Leading climate-sceptic academic, Professor William Happer, agreed to write a report for a Middle Eastern oil company on the benefits of CO2 and to allow the firm to keep the source of the funding secret.

• US coal giant Peabody Energy also paid tens of thousands of dollars to an academic who produced coal-friendly research and provided testimony at state and federal climate hearings, the amount of which was never revealed.
• The Donors Trust, an organisation that has been described as the “dark money ATM” of the US conservative movement, confirmed in a taped conversation with an undercover reporter that it could anonymously channel money from a fictional Middle Eastern oil and gas company to US climate sceptic organisations.
• Princeton professor William Happer laid out details of an unofficial peer review process run by the Global Warming Policy Foundation, a UK climate sceptic think tank, and said he could ask to put an oil-funded report through a similar review process, after admitting that it would struggle to be published in an academic journal.
• A recent report by the GWPF that had been through the same unofficial peer review process, was promoted as “thoroughly peer-reviewed” by influential columnist Matt Ridley - a senior figure in the organisation.
The best way to solve the pricing problem is to have competition, said Merritt, the pharmaceutical association president, and the fourth witness, Gerard Anderson, director of the Center for Hospital Finance and Management at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Anderson recommended having expediting approval pathways in the Food and Drug Administration for generic drugs. Speedy approvals of generics that could bring drugs to the market in months instead of years would lower the incentives for companies like Valeant and Turing to raise prices so excessively in the first place—they might only have a few months before competition comes up with a cheaper alternative.
The idea seemed to have weight with the committee. After the hearing, Sen. Collins told Ars that she looked forward to future hearings to explore ideas of how the FDA can help. Those hearings will likely be held in early 2016.
(Later in the hearing, she simply referred to Shkreli as “Mr. Wu-Tang.”)
After raising the prices on his life saving drugs to outrageous heights, notorious “Pharma Bro” Marky Sharky has come to terms with his title as the most hated man in America. At least he still has his one-of-a-kind, two million dollar album from dinosaur rap group, The Tu-Wang Clan.
But when Marky receives a frantic call from his lawyer about a wild gay stipulation in the album’s fine print, things take a turn for the unexpected.
Soon Marky is being seduced by T-Rex comedian Bill Murky, as well as the whole Tu-Wang Clan, and the ownership of his favorite album hangs in the balance. With all of these hot dinosaur celebs around, can Marky resist his own hardcore anal urges?
This erotic tale is 4,500 words of sizzling human on gay dinosaur entertainer action, including anal, double anal, blowjobs, rough sex, cream pies, gangbangs, bukkake, and prehistoric celebrity love.
