For $25,000 to $250,000, The Washington Post is offering lobbyists and association executives off-the-record, nonconfrontational access to "those powerful few" — Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and the paper’s own reporters and editors.
The astonishing offer is detailed in a flier circulated Wednesday to a health care lobbyist, who provided it to a reporter because the lobbyist said he feels it’s a conflict for the paper to charge for access to, as the flier says, its “health care reporting and editorial staff."
How the world has changed...the lobbyists are calling the media out for being unethical.

For more than 200 years, buried deep within Thomas Jefferson's correspondence and papers, there lay a mysterious cipher -- a coded message that appears to have remained unsolved. Until now.
The cryptic message was sent to President Jefferson in December 1801 by his friend and frequent correspondent, Robert Patterson, a mathematics professor at the University of Pennsylvania. President Jefferson and Mr. Patterson were both officials at the American Philosophical Society -- a group that promoted scholarly research in the sciences and humanities -- and were enthusiasts of ciphers and other codes, regularly exchanging letters about them.
There is no evidence that Jefferson, or anyone else for that matter, ever solved the code. But Jefferson did believe the cipher was so inscrutable that he considered having the State Department use it, and passed it on to the ambassador to France, Robert Livingston.

A single mega-colony of ants has colonised much of the world, scientists have discovered.
Argentine ants living in vast numbers across Europe, the US and Japan belong to the same inter-related colony, and will refuse to fight one another.
The colony may be the largest of its type ever known for any insect species, and could rival humans in the scale of its world domination.

The New York Times features Team Type 1 and Team Type 2 in the Health section. National attention is brought to the efforts of the teams who competed to demonstrate that diabetes does not need to impede althletic prowess. Our diabetic athletes were able to complete this grueling 3000 mile race by controlling their diabetes through diet, exercise, and the use of the best treatment and technology available today provided by our sponsors. We thank over 34 volunteers who devoted over one week of their lives to support our teams in their quest to race across America.
Our team started with this race as the dream of Phil Southerland and Joe Eldridge. Their goal was to prove anyone with Type 1 diabetes could race as well as a "normal" person. RAAM is known to be one of the most grueling cycling races in the United States where solo riders and teams compete racing across the U.S from Oceanside (near San Diego), California, to Annapolis, Maryland. Team Type 1 is aiming to complete in FIVE days.
OUR MISSION: Team Type 1 strives to instill hope and inspiration for people around the world affected by diabetes; through active management, one can achieve their goals, dreams, and potential. The team encourages control of diabetes through diet, exercise and the use of the best treatment and technology available today.
