Thinking about stocking options As most of you know I have a 10 gallon AIO Nano Reef. Since I have been unsuccessful with coral and snails I want to find out the problem(Diatom algea, Overpowering light, or alkalinity even though I tested it was at 3 meg/l but that was Red Sea) But I also want life in the tank. I want to make a reef tank but that doesn't seem like it would work for the tank with the lights I have. For the moment I was thinking Dwarf Blue Legged Hermit crabs but I also read that crabs may disrupt/agitate coral. Also my track record with inverts so far is bad. Second option was just a Oc. clownfish, seems safest way to go but I don't know if I would be happy with just one fish(Although I am working on getting the 55 gallon set up). My third option I was thinking and reading(Also wanting advice and thoughts on) a small mantis shrimp of some sort. I do not know much about them besides they are highly aggressive, can cause alot of pain, will kill any lving thing they can. What I want to know about them is the following :roll: 1: What kinds are able to fit in a 10 gallon tank?(I have read in alot of places there are) 2: What do I have to feed them? What are their feeding habits? 3: Can I keep anything else in the tank?(Macro algae, mushrooms, any inverts) 4: I have heard that there are black ones that hitchhike on LR could I get one of those for the 10 gallon if the LFS has one I can get for free? Thanks in advance! |
I think you would find keeping Clownifhs in a 10 gallon tank to be more difficult. I didn't realize you were having difficulty with your setup. What happened? Did they acclimate well, or just wither away quickly? |
All but my zoas did great for awhile but once this brown stuff(Maybe diatom, maybe cyano, maybe dino) made the mushrooms melt, and I haven't seen a trace of the GSP for a week now. The Zoas are slowly melting away... and all my snails have died I believe. I have asked another forum on the mantis shrimp and I think if I can get the problem dealt with I will get one. But I still don't know what is happening. I think my nitrates are at 0(tested today but don't have a card but compare before after color and what it should look like). I use RO/DI water for top off and WC. I use instant ocean salt, have a fairly even light cycle, but my lights are overpowered for the tank(saving up for a cheap PC fixture). My water has also been cloudy while the brown stuff has been in the tank. I have no idea what is happening. |
Brown stuff? Can you post a couple pics? With a tank this small, quick fixes should be easy. |
Ivremoved most of it from the tank and it seems to have died down a bit but it might be on the rocks still. I'll try to get a pick when I get home. Also could I get a yellow tailed damsel and put it in then when I am teady put a mantis in without worry or would I not be able to get away with that? Posted via Mobile Device |
just a quick question. how old is/was the tank and how long after the tank was setup was the first fish (and how many) introduced into the tank? |
I never put in fish... I did though put in my first snails about a month or so in and a week after three corls and three more snails... Nothing since... About two months in now Posted via Mobile Device |
That makes this hard then because since I have a smallish budget I don't wanna spend $40 on a mantis just to have it die from my water or something... Also the mantis would be small when i got it so wouldn't the damsel have a chance for awhile? at least untill I got my 55 gallon up? Also I was advised by someone to get a turbo(and feed it algae sheets to keep it alive) because it will be safe against the small mantis and clean the tank. Is that good advice? I know that turbo snails aren't meant for small tanks but isn't that just because the small food source? |

This is a pencil eye liner that comes with a sharpener on the lid. I purchased the colour Jet black. It only cost me £1 and it's one of the best eye liner pencils i have every bought! Most of there make up is really cheap and this is the first time i have bought something from them. When it says jet black it means it. It goes on really easily and the colour comes out straight away so you don't need to go back over it! Even better that it comes with a sharpener amazing PRICE!… Read Full Review

rhythmic accompaniment, Weir employs his unique chord voicings to provide
a smooth interior flow from chord to chord. This
song is a great example of why there simply is no guitarist quite like
Bob Weir, and no guitar tandem quite like Bobby and Jerry. This lesson
includes tablature and a jam track mp3--a backing track that you can
use to practice. Download a lesson today! - A video file in MP4 format. If your media player won't play the file, you can download the

Massachusetts LPN
MA LPN Schools, LPN Programs and LPN Salary Data
Interviews with Massachusetts LPNs
Are you an LPN? We'd love to talk to you!
Contact email@example.com
We will be interviewing Massachusetts nurses for inclusion on LPN.com. If you are a nurse and would like to share your perspectives on nursing, please contact email@example.com. Thanks!
Massachusetts LPN Stats:
Comfort Score Rank: #16 of 51
Benefit of RN Rank: #30 of 51
Avg. LPN Salary: $49,520
LPNs employed: 16,780
Top Cities in Massachusetts for LPNs: Boston, Springfield, Worcester
Massachusetts has a growing number of opportunities in the nursing field. Within the state, LPNs make up 17 % of nurses in the state. The Massachusetts LPN comfort score is 82 and falls near the top in the national rankings. This takes into account the average LPN salary, average state salary and cost of living. The Massachusetts RN comfort score is considerably higher at 131. The difference between the two illustrates that it is advisable to continue your education and obtain an RN degree. Massachusetts nursing schools and universities can provide more information that can help you pursue either degree. In Massachusetts the cities of Boston, Springfield and Worcester will have the highest number of potential educational institutions and job opportunities for an LPN.
Checklist to become a Massachusetts LPN:
- Earn your LPN Degree, 1 year of courses and hands-on practice.
- Apply for licensure with the Massachusetts Board of Nursing ($85 fee) – Have your school send your transcript to them as well
- Obtain a CPR card and pass the NCLEX-PN exam
LPN Salaries in Massachusetts
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) in Massachusetts earn an average of $23.92/hr and a yearly income of $49,760. Nurses working in metropolitan areas tend to earn higher salaries than in non-metropolitan parts of the state, although there is likely to be a relatively higher cost of living associated in those areas. An LPN can work in a variety of areas within the nursing field including nursing care facilities, hospitals or a physicians' office. Nurses working in general medical and surgical hospitals typically earn more than those working in the offices of physicians. Also, nurses make more per hour when shifts are at night or during weekends and holidays. When choosing a career path within the industry, salary is only one piece to consider. Many LPNs find a more rewarding career in a family office rather than a hospital, despite a lower salary. It is advisable for LPNs to look towards home health care agencies and long-term care facilities are the fastest growing potential employers. The LPN with several years of experience and those with certifications in geriatric health are going to be in higher demand. It is crucial to begin trying to figure out which area is the best fit for you as early as possible. Take advantage of all the offered nursing classes and programs as well as continue to educate yourself and research all the available options before deciding.
LPN Degree and Education in Massachusetts
In the state of Massachusetts, the practical nursing program is the quickest route to becoming a nurse. To earn a degree requires one year of courses as well as hands-on practice. You are required to obtain a CPR card, and pass the NCLEX-PN exam upon completion of the course. With any questions about nursing programs and specific requirements, contact the admissions office of your chosen college or school.
Massachusetts RNs and LPNs are required to renew their licenses every year. It is mandatory to complete fifteen contact hours each renewal period. Contact hours are defined as fifty minutes of board approved education and are provided online.
Massachusetts LPN Job Outlook
The nursing shortage in The United States is steadily increasing. There is a rising demand for new and more effective health procedures and life expectancy averages are continuing to climb. These issues will be reflected in the Massachusetts health industry and help to create an extremely strong job outlook for LPNs. There are many job openings in Massachusetts in all fields of nursing. Massachusetts hospitals, home health companies and doctor offices are now offering flexible schedules, educational benefits, higher pay and other incentives to retain their staff and to recruit new nurses. Some hospitals are even offering sign on bonuses or student loan reimbursement up to certain maximums.
The comfort score of 82 for Massachusetts LPNs ranks at 16th in the nation. Obtaining an RN degree will increase the score to 131. It is always advisable to continue working towards an RN degree and these numbers suggest it is worth the investment to do so in Massachusetts. A career as an LPN in this state can provide opportunities and security.

The phone-hacking scandal at News Corp.'s U.K. newspapers simmered for nearly five years before erupting on the national scene in July 2011 amid the discovery that journalists had hacked the phone of a murdered schoolgirl.
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "extremely sorry" for employing Andy Coulson after his former director of communications was convicted of phone hacking.
U.K. Metropolitan Police Chief Paul Stephenson resigned over "accusations" about his force's links to a former News Corp. journalist arrested in connection with a probe into phone hacking at the News of the World tabloid.
Paul Stephenson, who announced his plan to quit as London's police chief two days ago, said he hadn't intended any attack on Prime Minister David Cameron in his resignation statement.
The Metropolitan Police commissioner who resigned as a result of News Corp.'s phone-hacking scandal told a judge-led inquiry into media ethics that commanders were "obsessed" with their portrayals in tabloid headlines.
The London Metropolitan Police agreed that its hiring of former News of the World editor Neil Wallis should be reviewed after Mayor of London Boris Johnson had a "very frank discussion" with Police Commissioner Paul Stephenson, a spokesperson for Johnson's office said in an e- mailed statement today.
Mayor of London Boris Johnson accepted Metropolitan Police Commissioner Paul Stephenson's resignation "with great sadness" and "reluctance," he told Sky News in an interview.
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron cut even more time off a trip to Africa to deal with the deepening phone-hacking scandal at Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. after two senior police officers resigned.
The head of Scotland Yard resigned yesterday, hours after former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks was arrested as the scandal over phone hacking at the now-defunct News Corp. tabloid widened.
"We support the idea that banks have to be safe and there has to be a rigorous process to make sure banks are not going to fail."
- Paul Stephenson on Mar 25, 2013

Steel Workbench
Always wanted a welding table, or steel workbench. Getting a new (read used) toolbox freed up a lot of space and I decided to build one.
http://www.hotrodders.com/journal_ph...1943296520.jpg It needed adjusters since half of it sits on a mat. http://www.hotrodders.com/journal_ph...1943296521.jpg http://www.hotrodders.com/journal_ph...1943296522.jpg http://www.hotrodders.com/journal_ph...1943298250.jpg I also at the same time built a small cart for my new plasma cutter. I got tired of dragging it across the ground with a tangle of wires. http://www.hotrodders.com/journal_ph...1943298251.jpg And here it is complete, with my plasma and my new Milwaukee HD Chop Saw tucked underneath. http://www.hotrodders.com/journal_ph...1943298252.jpg Nice and neat. And heres some parts for my current project. http://www.hotrodders.com/journal_ph...1943765550.jpg |
Nice work, TM. Of course by now, I wouldn't expect anything less. :D It looks heavy duty enough to do anything needed. Dan
How thick is the top? Got anything you might do different?
In a while, Chet. |
The top is 3/16" that I got off the remnants rack at the local steel yard.
So far after using it I wouldn't change anything, but I know I will be adding a simple touch to it soon. |
With all the steel you weld daily, the Chinese will have a shortage. Great table. Thanks for sharing the info. Now all I gotta do is learn to weld :rolleyes:
Kevin |
Kevin, they just use lead in China. No steel. I can weld, but I'm often asked not to. I shouldn't say it isn't pretty, but it looks as bad as two 17 year old inbred first cousins french kissing at a church social. Trust me, it's [/I]that[I] bad.... Twisted, I'd give the entire left half of my body to have your skills and talent. Keep it up. In a while, Chet. |
I don't want to know how you know what that particular activity looks like. :D Steel tables are best. Always flat, (unless you weld stuff to them) don't burn, easy to clean, stronger than dirt. Having the top longer than the frame underneath is a good way to build a fab table, as it allows you to clamp stuff together easier at the edge. I think I'd take the grinder to that one corner that is opposite the door. That looks like it could be painful if you bump it when you are walking by. One of my tables in the shop is a 4'X8' 3/8" plate, about 36" tall, with a 6" overhanging edge. . That thing would get some of my skin almost daily until I filed it's teeth. Later, mikey |

2005 Campo Viejo Rioja Reserva David Honig March 17, 2010 Tasting Notes This is a soft, juicy, Rioja with berry and vanilla flavors wrapped gently in leather and a touch of tobacco. The finish falls off quickly, but this is a very reasonably priced Rioja Reserva, and at $12 a bottle why not keep some around for pizza or pasta?
2005 Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz, South Australia Joon Song March 8, 2010 Tasting Notes Remarkably light-colored for an Australian Shiraz, ruby and opaque rather than deep and dark. The nose is incredibly floral and aromatic. Completely smooth, like drinking silk. Blackberry, chocolate, and baking spices. Substantial, but with understated tannins. Absolutely easy to drink and very refined—almost Burgundian.
2005 Earthquake Petite Sirah, Lodi Howard Hewitt February 24, 2010 Tasting Notes This big fruit bomb delivers powerful blackberry and spice with an alcohol punch at 15.5 percent. They have too much fun with the name "it will rock your world, etc." but it's big wine. Fruit bomb has become a derisive term used by lots of wine writers. This is definitely a fruit bomb, but what's wrong with that? Wouldn't it be boring if they were all the same! If you like big wine, its hard not to like Earthquake. Read Howard's full review on his blog Grape Sense.
2005 Château Coutet Sauternes-Barsac, Premier Cru Classé Becky Sue Epstein February 13, 2010 Tasting Notes 5 Comments Opens with light floral underlain by apricot. Fresh, light fruit flavors of apricot, peach, with pineapple and tangerine peel in the long finish. Beautifully balanced. Light-medium body. Still young.
2005 Patrick Lesec's Bouquet Howard Hewitt February 5, 2010 Tasting Notes Lesec's blend of Syrah and old vine Grenache (80%) is about as good as it gets for under $15. This beautiful wine is aged in stainless steel for great drinkability. It has a bit of an herbal and spice characteristic with a sense of terroir. Robert Parker gave the 2005 an 89. For a great wine that pairs well with food, you won't do much better than Lesec's Bouquet.
2005 Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch, Cherry Ridge Syrah David Honig February 1, 2010 Tasting Notes 2 Comments The nose has ground espresso and cocoa powder, blackberries, and some leather. The palate comes at you with waves of flavors. Blackberries and coffee, plums, all make up the attack. Fruits sweeten on the mid-palate, adding some blueberry to the blackberry. The espresso changes to unsweetened cocoa. There is interesting minerality the expands from the attack through the finish. Leather shows up at the end of the mid-palate and lingers with black fruit on the finish. This is really good wine. It is not Aussie Shiraz, all jammy fruit. It is also not Northern Rhone Syrah, all earth and olives. This has good fruit, earthy coffee and chocolate, and great terroir minerality. For David's full two day review visit his blog, 2 Days per Bottle.
2005 St. Supéry Napa Valley Dollarhide Limited Edition Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Ward Kadel - drXeNo February 1, 2010 Tasting Notes 3 Comments The dense, dark garnet color was enlivened in the nose by fresh garden herbs, forest leaves and a black and red fruit complexity, complemented by the more savory loam, anise and truffle notes. The palate is where the complexity of this wine truly shined, with deep layers of the fruit medley from the nose and wonderful balance of the full, smooth mouthfeel, with the hint of oak underneath and ripe, round tannins with good acidity. It is a phenomenal combination of outstanding fruit and nuanced winemaking.
2005 Star Lane Vineyard Astral Cabernet Sauvignon David Honig January 28, 2010 Tasting Notes Rich but well-balanced dark fruit, an acid spine the gobs of fruit could hang from in comfort. It drew oohs and ahs from the crowd.

Update: CHP releases more information on fatal motorcycle crash in Antelope
The California Highway Patrol has released more information about a motorcycle crash that killed a 25-year-old Sacramento man on Sunday in Antelope.
Mohammed Khan was driving northbound on Walerga Road just south of Shandwick Drive about 11:50 a.m. Sunday. The CHP said that Khan was trying to pass another vehicle on the right shoulder of the road as the vehicle was making a right turn onto Shandwick Drive.
The motorcycle struck the right front of the other vehicle, which caused Khan to lose control. The motorcycle hit the ground, sliding into a utility pole.
Khan was thrown from his motorcycle and struck a wall on the northeast corner of the intersection.
Khan was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:02 p.m.

Country/area nomenclature and regional groups used in the data tables The country/area names and order used in these tables follow standard UN practice regarding nomenclature and alphabetical listing. Data for "China" incorporate values for China (including Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Macao Special Administrative Region) and for Taiwan Province of China. The regional groups used in these tables represent FAO's standardized regional breakdown of the world according to geographic not economic or political criteria. Totals Regional and global totals may not tally because of rounding or territories not included in the tables. Abbreviations n.s. = not significant, indicating a very small value - = not available |
"Land area" refers to the total area of a country, excluding areas under inland water bodies. The source of these data is FAO (2001); they may differ slightly from those in the State of the World's Forests 2001, which used a different source. The forest cover figure for each country has been calibrated to the country's land area. Statistics on total population, population density and annual rate of population change are taken from UN (1999). Rural population data are from UN (1997). Economic data are from World Bank (2000). The gross domestic product (GDP) per capita figure represents the GDP divided by the mid-year population. The data are in constant 1995 US dollars. The annual percentage growth rate of GDP is based on constant local currency. |
These figures for 2000 represent the most current global data set available for forest area and forest area change. The source of the data is FAO (2001). In Table 2, "total forest" is the sum of natural forest plus forest plantations. Forest area change is the net change in forests and includes expansion of forest plantations and losses and gains in the area of natural forests. In Table 3, "volume" refers to total volume over bark of living trees above 10 cm diameter at breast height. "Biomass" refers to above-ground mass of the woody part (stem, bark, branches, twigs) of trees (alive or dead), shrubs and bushes. For Europe, the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States, Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and the United States, the stem volume for all living trees has been used for the volume figure. Some variation as to the minimum diameter applied is reported in ECE/FAO (2000). |
The source of the data is the FAOSTAT release of 7 August 2002 (apps.fao.org). "0" indicates either a true zero or an insignificant value (less than half a unit). |
The source of information is the Web sites of the listed conventions and agreements:
In addition to the countries indicated in the table, the European Community has ratified CBD, UNFCCC, the Kyoto Protocol and CCD. |

Mocked up for the camera. Will take apart and thread lock everything. I still have all the electrics to go in there. So far quality seems good, even the main gear is free from wobble.
Dangggg...You did not waste any time . Looks like a big ol 500e I have. ( nice canopy ) Like the canopy clips as well. Happy ya "finally" got your 550. that was a heck of a wait.
Here are a few pictures of the motor installation using the Lynx Heli motor mount and the frame modification to allow use of the T600 "fatty" motor for those who haven't seen it already.
Yes the whole assembly can slide for and aft, the pinion is an Align one. The kit is supplied with a 16 tooth pinion so I've gone down a tooth for the 1400 KV motor.
I think the 16t supplied with the kit must be aimed at 1100kv motors, with which it would give about HS2200. The equivalent for a 1400kv motor would be a 13t - so go easy on your first flights and watch your temps! Edit: in fact Align supply a 16t with their 1220kv motor, which would give about HS2400, so your Fatty motor will be OK, just need to watch the packs! |
Edit: I have now ordered a 13 tooth pinion, should have it Saturday cheers 2Doggs |
My 550 has flown. I wish I was able to say it was faultless but it wasn't. The head was perfect, the gains etc were fine and it felt very solid. The tail however is a different story. I'm using a Tarot ZYXs FBL controller. I have it mounted on its side on the side of the fuselage. Gyro set at 28 in HH mode and 71 in rate mode as per the instructions. All other settings currently at default so in theory should be fine. All servos set to 1520 digital. The tail servo is a Futaba S9254 and the ball is at 14mm from the centre. The instructions call for 13.5mm to 15mm, again in theory all should be good. Head speed is set @ 2100 in normal and idle 1 is 2250.
Upon lift off the tail feels very loose and swings left and right approximately 45deg each way. If I raise the gain on the tx I can get it to tighten up but the amplitude of the oscillation increases. I've tried moving the ball on the servo both in and out with little success. I even moved it to 10mm from the center at which point tail rotor control is lost. I'm beginning to wonder if my servo is reaching the end of its life and is struggling under load. I've had this happen before on my 500 with the same symptoms, albeit with a much lesser servo. I'm going to pick up a replacement servo in the hope it will resolve my problem. This Futaba 9254 is about 7 years old and has seen service on several helicopters and with 3 different gyros. Hopefully I'll be able to report a clean bill of health after the next flight. Oh and the final fly in the ointment, one of my 5000mAh 6s packs has decided it's now a 5s pack and has a dead cell so come the end of the month I'll be buying a couple more of those too. |
Glad the maiden went sort of OK....
If it was the servo on it's way out, you're lucky you caught it in time to avoid smashing up the heli you've waited so long for! Have you used the ZYX side-mounted before? Shouldn't have anything to do with it, but you never know. Was it simply easier getting the servo leads to fit with it side-mounted? |
Yes, first time side mounted. You're also correct re the wiring. I'm going to Fastlad in the morning to pick up one of these. I think this will do the trick. My 9254 has done well, they're only rated to 4.8 volts and the last model it was fitted to, it ran at 5.5 volts for about 18 months which probably hasn't helped. I accept all responsibility if this has shortened its life span. I've had good luck with Hyperion servos, in fact I have 3 DS20 FMD's on the cyclics.
I'm like a kid in a candy store in there, it's about 40 minutes from home, slightly less if I go on the bike and ride like Casey Stoner. But it's probably safer to go by bike because I'm not likely to come home with Goblin shaped boxes under my arm.
Paul how did you find the tail drive umbrella gear bearing holder on yours any side to side play as I had.Mine flew perfectly with the XYZ-S right from the start gains set to 50% on the tx I like it so much I have now stripped the BL 251 and BL 451s from my X50 to fit in it.
Yes Gaz, there was a little sideways movement of the front torque tube gear. A drop of cyno on one half of the boom holder plastic moulding has sorted that out and the system runs as smooth as butter. I tried adjusting gains whilst testing mate, they were up and down like a brides nighty, strangely the higher the gain the less the tail wagged but I just couldn't altogether get rid of it. That's what leads me to believe my servo is on its way out.

William Shatner bald-patch picture.
This is the first ever photo we've been able to locate of a toupless Shats in which we see signs of baldness in the crown area (sourced from the often factually innacurate E! True Hollywood William Shatner documentary). The picture is of a 1958 production of The World of Suzie Wong in New York. Bill was just 27 years-old at the time.

You can expect that this CPU goes much higher too. That's 45nm already and 3.16 ghz is surely _not_ the limit.
Bridgman is correct about the power consumption, AMD's stuff draws more on the CPU and less on the MB. Over all it all evens out in the end.
CPU wise if you overclock it the Q6600 is still one of the best CPU's to go for in terms of value for money as it easily hits 3GHz+ if you have a decent cooler on it.
You can expect that this CPU goes much higher too. That's 45nm already and 3.16 ghz is surely _not_ the limit.
From what I remember of the comparative power measurements I've seen, 65nm AMD machines take a bit more power than comparable 65mm Intel machines, and substantially more power than 45nm Intel machines. Certainly the host chipset in my AMD Linux box seems to be a space heater, though it does have reasonable integrated graphics so that's some justification for taking a fair amount of power.
Would be interesting to see some definitive power numbers though, as I'm looking at building a low-power 24/7 server to stick in the basement. As it is my Linux box spends most of its time underclocked from 2.6GHz to 1GHz, so for most things raw CPU performance is now pretty much irrelevant.
Yeah, my main point was "make sure you are comparing apples to apples", ie that just comparing CPUs is not sufficient when one CPU includes the memory controller and the other does not.
The Athlon X2 4850e @ 2,5 GHz has a TDP of 45W. I don't know any CPU with lower TDP. If you don't even need the performance, you can go with the Athlon X2 4050e @ 2,0 GHz which does need even less power.
I've not really kept up with anything passed 65nm (at which point I think AMD set was using slightly more...). Yeah the drop to 45nm will make the intel preferable although the cost difference might be fairly large (I've not been paying attention).
Oh lord no you could probably get it to almost 4GHz but applications that can benefit from a CPU running at 4Ghz instead of 3 probably benefit from 2 extra cores more then the bump in speed.Originally Posted by Kano
Pfft 6 is easy try 8GHz. Point is 6GHz can only be achieved with extreme setups this is an everyday setup we are talking about, big difference.

Merck-J&J Battle for Remicade Rights Worth Billions
Lawyers for Merck (MRK) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) were set to begin a private arbitration hearing with billions of dollars at stake in late September, before three former federal judges in New York, to decide which company has the right to market Remicade, a hugely-profitable anti-inflammatory drug, in key foreign markets.
The decision, expected within 20 days after the arbitration ends, could either deliver a windfall to J&J, which already holds the domestic rights to Remicade; or, should Merck prevail, make Merck's $49.6 billion takeover last year of Schering-Plough a rare home run in M&A.
Long ago, Merck surrendered its top status among pharmaceutical concerns, and drug patent expirations have been threatening to diminish Merck further. The acquisition of Schering-Plough and its drug portfolio, completed last November, has helped Merck close the market capitalization gap with J&J.
And holding onto the Remicade rights Merck bought as part of Schering-Plough would further boost Merck's value to investors. Remicade is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases linked to the immune system. Its sales exceed $6 billion and are growing. J&J had 2009 Remicade sales – it has U.S. rights – of $4.3 billion. And Merck and Schering-Plough's sales of Remicade last year were $2.3 billion.
Merck sales had been mostly flat until the Schering-Plough deal.
And Merck was facing a so-called patent cliff, with the loss of patents covering several large drugs. Singulair, an asthma drug with 2009 sales of $4.7 billion, expires in 2012. And the combination of Cozaar and Hyzaar, used to treat hypertension, had 2009 sales of $3.7 billion and patents that expire this year. The looming patent expirations and also the Remicade arbitration have caused Merck to trade at a very low multiple of earnings.
The patent expirations made the Schering-Plough deal crucial to Merck and also makes keeping Remicade rights very important. Schering-Plough had a rights agreement with a company now owned by J&J, Centocor, and Centocor had the option to cancel the agreement if there was a change in control of Schering-Plough. To avoid that, Merck structured its takeover of Schering-Plough as a reverse merger, with Schering-Plough technically acquiring Merck, and then renaming the company Merck.
J&J didn't buy the artifice and filed for arbitration to end the rights agreement. J&J also wants damages. So, should Merck lose, it could fall short of its 2010 financial targets. Merck, however, expects the Schering-Plough deal to be a success regardless, with $3.5 billion of cost cuts from the combined companies expected to fatten the bottom line. Without Remicade, though, it won't be as spectacular a success.

What do you expect from WSJ propaganda. His pay is nothing compared to the Hong Kong owned MTR CEO Jay Walder gets $920k a year. No complaints from WSJ propaganda if some white guy gets more money.
"...but still easily outstrips the US$400,000 Barack Obama makes as U.S.president."
Well, I guess you get what you pay for.
Shenanigans! Why should he get paid LESS than the New Yorker hired to be the figurehead of HK's subway system?
The median annual salary of Hong Kongers is US $2,639?
No wonder the CCP removed the word 'EGYPT' from their media and blogging sites during the Arab Spring in the country last year! The people of Egypt were in revolution regarding their median annual salary of US $3,600!
A rich CE pulling in $620,843.00 annual salary vs the average Hong Konger pulling in an annual salary of $2, 639 seems like a disparity gap to me!
Those guys at the World Bank wern't kidding when they said the disparity gap in China was increasing dramatically!
OODA loop STAT is illiterate. It says $2,639 a month, not per year.
Based on this WSJ article, President Hu may also be earning at most US$22,000 a year, and that's way below HK CE.
Per capita GDP of Hong Kong was $49,137 in 2011, higher than US (from IMF). Why would WSJ make up a number of $2639 per mont that is way lower than the American number? Red-neck like OODA loop STAT even changed it to $2639 per year, lower than most of the countries in the world. Have you guys ever been in Hong Kong? Or seen a picture of Hong Kong? Does it look like the Bronx?
How would you become blind simply after importing a blind Chinese?

SIMPLE! Beacuse WSJ FORUM is badmouth PROPAGANDA MEDIA of the WEST!
The editor will only keep the COMMENTS of the ANTI_CHINA and ANTI-CHINESE here only.
Yours will be DELETED SOON at his WHIMS and FANCY and make to appear as though you have NO REPLY!
Here is the REPLY from OODA loop STAT. SO he is HIRED by WSJ to post all the anti-Chinese comments here!

Good chunk of change for someone in main land China.
singapore pm get us$2,183,516.00 salary per year; hk ce is gettting just under US$680,000.00. hk is a corrupt free city n all public servants must be paid high salaries comparable to the best talents in business to avoid asking and receiving bribes. Look at DT who get favors from big businesses like private jets, discounted purchase of real estates, travelling first class on bribes from some hot shot. and look at china's corruption when corrupt ministers can laundered money like us$2 billion out of the country n killed the messenger.... I would rather pay the CE us$2 million n he remains incorruptable....be real.
li ka-shing richest man in asia-CE is just being paid us$630,000.00 ? too little-for CE to be incorruptible he must be paid handsomely like us$3 million so that he can make policies for the citizens at the disadvantage to the tycoons like mandating the release of private land banks held by these firlthy rich land owners--this is communism.
Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou takes in a salary of US$184,000 per year only.
Putin, russia=us$81.190.00
President of CHINA = us$36,000.00
OK, so the average yearly income for a Hong Kong citizen household is under US $32,000 a year! While the CE of Hong Kong pulls in US $620,843.00! This doesn't change the fact that the disparity gap in huge here folks! Because this Leung CE is making almost 19.5 times more than the average citizen in Hong Kong makes a year!
My error is going by the mainland Chinese average annual income which is anywhere from US $2,500 a year to US $6,000 annualy salary for mainlander! So the fact is the Chinese people don't make much money regardless if your a $32,000 a year investment banker in Hong Kong, or a $2,500 a year manufacturing worker in mainland China! The disparity gap is readilly apparent...............which is my main point!
Wikipedia states that 200 million Chinese citizens are starving in China!
BBC News article 'Millions Left Behind in China' describes the 500 million Chinese citizens makes less than US $2 a day! Which is US $730.00 a year salary!
China Development Research Foundation reports that 85% of the poverty stricken Chinese people live in rural China!
National Geographic article mentions that only 100 million people to 160 million people in China make up their middle class!
The wealth disparity in China is growing dramatically! That's the whole point of my reasoning!
I m sick n tired of jealopus b;lue collar/middle class hkees moaning abt. "high" salaries of CE but at the same time demand a level playing field of transparency, fair pay, freedom, honesty, hard working politians who r not above the law. The arguement of paying Singapore's PM in excess of us$2,300,000.00 salary a year has been going on for more than 10 years. Rationale is Singapore is a corrupt-free nation where if u waork hard, obey the law , don't take bribes the PM and his govt. make sure u have a free apartment paid for by pension, clean enviroment, great schools and a healthy and surplus foreign reserve. Singapore made it to first world status 'cse the govt. works for the people ---no corruption, no superior class, no favors for certain class of people. Singapore's PM salary of us$2 million is based on the successful businessmens' wages and worth like leaders of industry, banks,solicitors,etc......U r not in that class as a blue collar worker or middle class non successful college graduate...... look at a movie star like Jackie Chan or a Li Ka-shing--do u moan their wealth or do they deserve their wealth----NO. Why ? The truth is hk CM will be paid US$630,000.00 salary per month compared with the BILLIONS made by property tycoons, movie stars and singers..... wake up n smell the roses...lol. keep arguing if it turns u on.
just so u know, I will educate u.
Brazian SAVERIN, CO-FOUNDER OF FACEBOOK will give up his US citizenship n become a SINGAPORE PERMANENT RESIDENT to avoid taxes----SINGAPORE HAS NO CAPITAL GAINS TAX. so it begs the question--why did he not go to Hong KONg ? anyone....? 'cse HK is pollution severe, corrupt, special class of people who are above the law n communist ??????
as Mike wrote "you get what you pay for"
at least HK CEs are doing a good job and the taxpayer is not ripped
Why use so much HKers' tax money to pay the salary of a Beijing puppet?
was tung chee wah a puppet? sure DT is a colonial puppet-so is emily lau/desmond chan/tai pan/chany mu on n on. those in Hk are all china's puppets or slaves to a communist nation who says JUMP and hkeess quickly in unison ask '...HOW HIGH..." Until or only when Hong Kong is an idependant nation like Singapore/korea/indonesia/japan can u honestly demand equality and power to do wat u want--sure as hell were to freeze over--HK is a county of GREATER CHINA like macau and eventually taiwan...so u r communist in a communit china...... stretch the imagination all hkees r puppets or worst zombies in greater china...lol.
Annual Salary divided by populatiion will tell you who gets over paid!
Quality of Wall Street Journal reporting is so bad nowadays-- in Hong Kong, one can eat out in a clean modern restaurant as little as 2-3 USD a meal. Clothes or basic necessities in Hong Kong are cheaper too; the 50% of people that live in government housing are paying the lowest housing rent in the world in terms of expenditure per amount of time worked.
That is why Economist use GDP per Capita at Purchasing Power Parity. With PPP measurement, the Chinese race HK is even richer than Switzerland or Israel.
Singapore/ Hong Kong is richer and has a higher concentration of millionaires than Switzerland, a state that is prosperous fro a long time and actually benefited from World War 2. After 1945, HK and SG have to be rebuilt from scratch; so the achievement of Chinese people under a right system is indeed second to none.
Hong Kong's quality of education actually went-up post-British rule and Beijing give Hong Kong military protection for free. People who are quick to criticize Beijing often forget Hong Kong pays not a single cent of tax to Beijing. Beijing offers to give foreign reserves assistance at the height of Asian Financial Crisis even though Hong Kong has not contributed anything so far to Beijing.
Singapore progress rapidly and eventually reached among the top even after the British rule ended around 50 years ago. British did left a good system but that's it.
Hong Kong is using Singapore model of using high-pay to attract talents; nothing wrong with that. The duty and responsibility of Chief Executive is so high; if CY Leung's credentials can allow him to earn similar salary in the private sector then I think there shouldn't be anything wrong with giving him such pay.
If somebody managing your pension fund, would you give somebody a pay of USD$50,000 a year but only let you have a capital-appreciation gain of 100,000 or giving someone a pay of USD$5,000,000 a year but you have a capital appreciation gain of USD$25,000,000.
Highest office of political authority deserves a high pay but I think the pay system should be more on performance based rather than static salary. More GDP growth or higher median income growth more pay--- somewhere along this line.
One can earn as much as one claims to earn, but is he or she restricted (by a group of people) in the way he or she uses the money? Money without accompanying burden is the real stuff
An unusual and highly publicized visit to northeastern China by Premier Li Keqiang is a signal that economic anxieties have started to occupy a more central place in the party's thinking about reform.
A contradiction between harsh, extralegal treatment of political dissent and a vigorous effort to improve the credibility of the courts increasingly has come to define China's legal climate under the leadership of President Xi Jinping.
Former Chinese security czar Zhou Yongkang has now been formally charged with bribery and abuse of power, in what appears to be yet another triumph in President Xi Jinping's strategy to go after "tigers and flies". But a number of signs suggest that Xi's strategy is beginning to show its age, writes CRT analyst Russell Moses.
China's territorial ambitions in the East and South China seas are by now well-documented. Much less understood is one of the key factors in the country's ability to realize those ambitions: an increasingly well-funded and capable maritime militia.
China now has a key tool for sidestepping weak government enforcement of pollution controls, but only if it's allowed to function as intended.

Here is a cool campaign that promotes walking to create a greener environment. DDB China Group took over a busy pedestrian crossing and placed a large canvas featuring a leafless tree on the road. On either side of the crossing were sponge cushions soaked in green environmentally-friendly washable and quick dry paint. As pedestrians walked towards the crossing they stepped on the sponges and the soles of their feet made footprints on the tree. Each green footprint added to the canvas like leaves growing on a bare tree.

Ill. Man Gets Prison For Wreck That Killed Worker
BELLEVILLE, Ill. (AP) — A southern Illinois man has been sentenced to nine years in prison for causing a 2012 wreck that killed a highway construction worker and injured three others.
WSIL-TV reports that 36-year-old Michael Jeter of West Frankfort was sentenced in St. Clair County.
The coal miner pleaded guilty in April to four counts of aggravated driving under the influence. Authorities have said Jeter was on the sleep aid Ambien and an antihistamine at the time of the May 2012 wreck on Interstate 64.
The victims were part of a crew that was waiting in the median to paint road markings on the freeway.
The crash killed 38-year-old contract worker Dennis Beard, a married Pocahontas father of three children. Three other workers were injured.

There are reasons why no other site in the world puts the content in the smallest frame rather than the largest frame - hard to read, looks unprofessional, can't fit as much information on the page... the list goes on. That image needs work too. Maybe you could have a look at http://www.istockphoto.com for a related photo if you don't have your own digital camera. Stay away from clipart if you can help it, it looks kinda cheesy. You also need a standardized navigation system so users feel comfortable knowing they will be able to get back to the home page. Also, it's better just to stay away from frames, they're so 90's I'm in your forums, writing sentences in a grammatically acceptable manner. |

Hi Mike,
I just looked at your site. I like it. It is clear, easy to read, and right to the point. How did you write it? Your thread said you just used html? I am getting ready to make my own site and I want it to be similar to yours, did you have to use any program to do it, or is it all just html? I don't know html, so I guess I will have to learn? |
QUOTE Thanks |

HTML can be written in a text editor, just make sure you save your files as .htm or .html
i was taught many moons ago using windows notepad then when i got heavily into the web development world i then taught my self dreamweaver, IMHO its best to learn a code before using the software - that way it makes debugging any code easier as you know what to look for - or the basics at least! |

Ghost Town Stretch Across the Mojave
<< Previous 1 2 3 Next >>
Interstate 40 left in its a wake more than 100 miles of old Route 66 that is today littered with ghost towns. From, Goffs near Needles, California all the way to Ludlow, where the Mother Road picks back up with I-40, the desert is littered with relics from the past and little more.
While driving this dry, barren stretch of battered highway, one can only imagine how difficult it would have been to have traveled it as a fleeing dust bowler in the 1930s. With dreams of "beautiful California" and its golden opportunities dancing in their heads, what a let down it must have been to arrive in this sweltering bit of desert.
If you are a ghost town enthusiast, this old stretch of the road is a dream come true with a plethora of crumbling buildings and photo opportunities. But if you're looking for quaint stopping points, curio stands, or open gas stations, restaurants or motels, you won't find it on this abandoned piece of pavement.
Exiting off of I-40 at US 95 North, you will turn left onto Goffs Road, which will lead you down a forty mile stretch of near nothingness.
Route 66 East of Amboy, California, Kathy Weiser, December, 2004
This image available for photographic prints and downloads HERE!
This pre-1931 alignment of Route 66 was once home to several towns, nothing of which can be seen today, including Ibis, Bannock, and Homer, before reaching what is left of Goffs.
Goffs - A Crusty Ghost
This ghost town has a few interesting remnants including an old General Store and a 1914 schoolhouse that has been renovated by the Mojave Desert Heritage and Cultural Association, and now houses a museum. The association maintains a collection of historical materials inside the schoolhouse and dozens of artifacts outside, including vehicles and mining equipment. The rest of the town was a lonely sight with nary a soul around and littered with junk and falling down relics of the former mining industry.
On to what was once the small town of Fenner, old Route 66 crosses under I-40 and continues on to Essex, where you can see the post office and the remains of an old gas station, out in the middle of nowhere. Beyond Essex, were once the towns of Danby and Summit, of which nothing remains today.
Continuing your journey down this crusty path of road you will soon come to a once popular stop at Chambless, California, then on to Amboy, Ludlow and Daggett.
The General Store in Goffs, California no longer caters to
Route 66 travelers. December, 2004, Kathy Weiser.

DEFINITION of 'High-Low Method'
In cost accounting, a way of attempting to separate out fixed and variable costs given a limited amount of data. The high-low method involves taking the highest level of activity and the lowest level of activity and comparing the total costs at each level. If the variable cost is a fixed charge per unit and fixed costs remain the same, it is possible to determine the fixed and variable costs by solving the system of equations.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'High-Low Method'
The high-low method is not preferred because it can yield an incorrect understanding of the data if there are changes in variable or fixed cost rates over time, or if a tiered pricing system is employed. In most real-world cases it should be possible to obtain more information so the variable and fixed costs can be determined directly. Thus, the high-low method should only be used when it is not possible to obtain actual billing data.
