Aretha really found her sound with those lowdown funky "Swampers" at Muscle Shoals Studios.

She brought a lot of smiles to a lot of faces. Which is no small feat in this world.

From your article. I think, in the end, it's all about the money:

But, as (lead VC) Kabakoff sees it, there's still hesitation among VCs when it comes to women's health, much of it stemming from concerns about how they're going to make money.

"I think the concern in the investment community about women's health has nothing to do with whether there are unmet needs in the market, but with the fact that there are relatively few large pharma players who are in the business," Kabakoff said. "And after all, there are only two exit opportunities that we have for these companies: One is we sell them. The other is we take them public."

Still, there are reasons independent of any biases associated with women's health that might give doctors and investors pause.

For one, the company has competition. While Antiva has yet to report Phase 1 data, the rival drug maker that's furthest along, Pennsylvania-based Inovio, is testing its drug for cervical dysplasia in a Phase 3 clinical trial. (Inovio's drug is targeted at only the most common HPV strains, while Antiva's has potential to work for any strain of the virus.)

There's also no guarantee Antiva's drug will work. Getting a topical medication to stick to the cervix is much more complicated than slathering cream on your forearm. The field is littered with failures, ranging from therapeutic vaccines that weren't effective enough and other experimental drugs that brought too many side effects.

"Look, I'm not going to be rushed into having [Trump] testify so that he gets trapped into perjury. When you tell me that ... he should testify because he's going to tell the truth and he shouldn't worry. Well, that's so silly, because it's somebody's version of the truth ― not the truth."
- Rudy Giuliani to Chuck Todd, "Meet the Press (and Kick It in the Nuts)" Aug. 19, 2018

We hold these truths to be self-evident ― of what, exactly, Rudy only hopes that we have no idea.

Unless his silence is protected by the privilege against self-incrimination ... the criminal defendant, no less than any other citizen, is obliged to assist the authorities. The petitioner, for example, was asked to expose the purveyors of heroin in his own community in exchange for a favorable disposition of his case. By declining to cooperate, petitioner rejected an "obligatio[n] of community life" that should be recognized before rehabilitation can begin. See Hart, The Aims of the Criminal Law, 23 Law & Contemp.Prob. 401, 437 (1958). Moreover, petitioner's refusal to cooperate protected his former partners in crime, thereby preserving his ability to resume criminal activities upon release. Few facts available to a sentencing judge are more relevant to "'the likelihood that [a defendant] will transgress no more, the hope that he may respond to rehabilitative efforts to assist with a lawful future career, [and] the degree to which he does or does not deem himself at war with his society.'"

It would seem the only one that perhaps committed a crime here is Lara Bush with perhaps a campaign finance violation.

I'm not sure hypocrisy is quite the right word, as there's not really a moral high ground you're claiming when accusing someone of abusing you - they can both be correct at the same time, the fact that someone abused someone doesn't make their own abuse any less, or the abuse they doled out any less.

I definitely don't think it should matter what gender the 17 year old is.  I also don't think it should matter what gender the perpetrator is - which in some ways I think is a bigger "question" - since we've already heard from men who were assaulted by other men.

"I am deeply shocked and hurt by having read news that is absolutely false," her statement opened. "I never had any sexual relationship with (Jimmy) Bennett."

Argento's statement said that her late boyfriend, Anthony Bourdain, considered her accuser "dangerous" but decided Bennett's need for money was worthy of "compassion."

"I did not initially speak out about my story because I chose to handle it in private with the person who wronged me. My trauma resurfaced as she came out as a victim herself," Bennett's statement read in part. "I was underage when the event took place, and I tried to seek justice in a way that made sense to me at the time because I was not ready to deal with the ramifications of my story becoming public. At the time I believed there was still a stigma to being in the situation as a male in our society."

Why are we learning it now.  Same for Pecker.
