The issue is "severe deficiencies" in the injector. That could mean anything, but the most likely answer is that it doesn't function correctly/consistently. This has actually been a problem with the other two generic injectors on the market as well.

On the other hand, it could mean that Mylan bought off the FDA and it's just delaying the product until 2017.

And here is where I recuse myself. Mylan is still more or less based in town... until the ex-governor's (and now senator) daughter got the bright idea to move the official HQ to Europe. They renamed WVU's football stadium after the founder.

Quite a few drug companies relocated to Europe or merged with European countries in the last 10 years or so.
I'm sure it's just coincidence.

Bernie just endorsed Hillary. He lost the battle but won the war, with the democratic platform moving towards the left and the downtickets being absolutely crushed with "Berniecrats". And anything is better than Trump, although I couldn't give you a reason to vote for Hillary without using the words "Trump" or "woman".

I can almost hear the exit polls:
"Why did you vote for Hillary?" "Because not Trump."
"Why did you vote for Trump?" "Because not woman."

As Turkey descends into chaos with the military attempting to take over in a coupe and depose Erdogan.

As much as I'd like to see Erdogon go, this is not the way.

How will this affect their NATO membership. Actually it might help Turkey stay in NATO.

Been a while in coming. The army has always styled itself as the protector of the neutrality of the government in Turkey, they've taken over before. With Erdogan going ever further in styling himself tyrant and dictator, and turning Turkey into a religious state, I'm frankly surprised it lasted as long as it did. Depending on how they handle things and how it turns out, this could be horrible, good, or anything in between. I know we in the West have a severe (and justified) aversion to military take-overs, but in Turkey they've usually been the better option so far.

Turkish Troops confronted the President on the streets of the capital, where he surprised everyone by shouting "Gone, gone the form of man, rise the demon, ERDOGAN!"

No footage is available of the explosion that followed, it is assumed the cameras were destroyed, but eyewitnesses report sightings of some kind of hunchback with glowing eyes wearing tights and a cape.

Update. United (his employers) are aware and are "investigating." (and no, I wasn't the one who reported him. Not to them at least.)

IANAL nor know US law, but isn't (one of) the penalty for treason execution? And thus calling for somebody to be tried and executed... I'm not even sure if this qualifies as a death threat, as you're asking for your criminal justice system to actually try somebody with AMPLE evidence to at least go to TRIAL, even if not found guilty. And even if it DID qualify as a death threat (seems iffy, as I said), they're not the sitting president, so is it even a crime? What levels of this type of thing are crimes vs slander?

Genuinely asking somebody who might know better.

That's the thing, it's not a threat. It's a call for the Justice system to be carried out along it's own rules, not the "divided" rules of one set for us (commoners) and one set for the "ruling class" that can be set aside because they want it that way. I would feel the same way if it were a similar post about Trump.
