1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an air conditioning system which reduces energy consumption by disposing of waste heat to a low temperature heat sink. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system which utilizes existing municipal water supplies or effluent as a water supply for absorption or rejection of heat.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Many residential and commercial air conditioning systems employ conventional heat pumps. Such conventional heat pump systems operate on a closed vapor compression/expansion cycle with heat being rejected to ambient air. Systems of this type include an evaporator with a refrigerant expansion valve, heat exchangers, a directional control valve and suitable fans and auxiliary components. In the conventional heat pump system, the heat exchangers are alternately operated as evaporators and condensers to achieve heating or cooling depending upon the position of the directional control valve in the interconnecting fluid conduit. One heat exchanger unit, the indoor unit, has associated apparatus such as a fan. The other heat exchanger, the outdoor unit, is operated to either add heat to the system or remove heat from the system.
Water source heat pumps (WSHP) are a specialized type of heat pump which are reverse cycle units that use water as a heat source when in the heating mode and as a heat sink in the cooling mode. Thus, heat is absorbed or rejected in a fluid medium rather than in ambient air. Water loop heat pumps (WLHP) use a circulating water loop. When the loop water temperatures exceed a certain level due to the heat added as a result of the heat pump cooling, a device such as a cooling tower dissipates heat from the water loop to the atmosphere. When the water loop temperature drops below a prescribed level due to heat being removed as a result of heating of ambient air at the indoor unit, heat is added to the circulating loop water usually through an auxiliary component such as a boiler.
The water supply may be a recirculating closed loop, well lake or a stream. Reference is also made to the ASRAE 1988 Equipment Handbook, Chapter 43. Various patents can be found in the prior art dealing with water source heat pumps.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,238,933 shows an air conditioning system which reduces energy consumption by disposing of waste heat to a low temperature heat sink and at the same time recovers usable energy. An auxiliary liquid cooled condenser is connected in parallel with the air condenser of a conventional vapor compression air conditioning system across a valve located between the compressor of the existing system and the condensers. When the valve is actuated, the refrigerant of the air conditioning system is directed from the air conditioner, through the liquid cool condenser assembly in heat exchange relationship with the body of fluid which is at lower temperature than ambient air such as water from a swimming pool or from a municipal water supply. Energy conservation is achieved by use of the total heat content of the refrigerant rather than only the high temperature heat as in prior art sources.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,538,418 discloses a water source heat pump system having a fluid refrigerant compressor. The heat pump system further includes first and second heat exchanger units. Suitable fluid conduits interconnect the fluid refrigerant compressor and the heat exchange units in series relationship. A pre-heat exchanger is connected between the water source and the heat exchangers which control the water temperature to the second heat exchanger. In the cooling mode, the water supply will bypass the pre-heat exchanger. Flow control valves are interconnected between the water source and the second heat exchanger unit for controlling the amount of water flowing from the water source to the second heat exchanger. The flow control valves are responsive to the pressure at the outlet of the fluid refrigerant compressor to automatically optimize the operating conditions of the heat pump. The water source may comprise a well, stream or body of water such as an ocean or lake. The water source may also comprise a closed system such as an above-ground or underground water storage tank or underground pipe loop system.
As mentioned above, it is well known in the art that the energy consumption of an air conditioning system may be reduced by use of a low temperature heat sink while at the same time recovering the rejected heat for possible other applications. Other systems which utilize sources such as swimming pool water as a heat sink are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,019,338; 3,976,123 and 3,926,008.
While the above systems are effective, they differ from the present invention in a number of important aspects, particularly with respect to their application as retrofit systems to existing installations. The present invention relates to a system that is cost-effective as a retrofit to existing air conditioning installations, particularly commercial installations. With the present invention, existing cooling towers which are conventionally used to cool the water loop and which are highly maintenance intensive and have an operational lifetime of only 10 to 20 years, are eliminated. The elimination of the cooling tower not only eliminates the cost of maintenance of a cooling tower but also eliminates the substantial water loss that occurs through use of cooling towers. For example, cooling tower for an air conditioning system for a 40 story, 800,000 square foot building, will utilize about 150,000 gallons of water per day, about one-half of which is discharged to waste or lost through evaporization.
It is also within the scope of the present invention to provide a system which replaces the exterior compressor and condensing coil components of air-to-air split systems common in smaller installations where it is not economical to install water cooling tower systems. In the modified system, a potable water loop is provided to each unit from municipal water supply or other water source. Such a system is more efficient than conventional air-to-air systems and requires only a minimum of modification.
Briefly, in accordance with the present invention, a modified liquid chilling system operating on refrigeration cycle having a compressor, refrigerant circuit, water-cooled condenser is provided. In the conventional system, condenser water leaves the cooling tower at about 85� F. and enters the condenser cooling unit and returns to the cooling tower. In the modification according to the invention, the cooling tower is eliminated and the liquid chilling system is a refrigeration system having a water source heat pump which operates on a reverse cycle. In the cooling mode, the heat exchanger unit, operating as a condenser, is directly or indirectly connected through a water loop to a water source such as a municipal water supply or effluent of a suitable temperature such as gray water or industrial waste water. One or more intermediate isolating heat exchangers may be interposed in the water loop. The water pump heat source is preferably a unit which can be located on the roof of the building or in a suitable basement or equipment room which would be in many cases more convenient for connection to the water source.
In a modification of the present invention, water at a suitable temperature as for example 85� is directly connected to a noncontaminating chiller. The chiller cools the working fluid which is circulated to the fan coil unit. The incoming water from the municipal water supply or other source may be tempered by mixing valves with the warmer fluid discharged from the chillers to temper the supply to predetermined temperature. Heat may also be extracted from the water discharged from the chiller in a heat pump or heat exchanger for transfer to boilers or other applications.
The above and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description, claims and drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional prior art chiller unit utilizing a cooling tower;
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the present invention showing direct connection and circulation of water from a municipal supply to the chiller/condenser heat exchanger and including provision for tempering the incoming water and extracting heat from the return water;
FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram of a system similar to that shown in FIG. 2 with the addition of an isolating heat exchanger to protect the potability of the municipal supply water;
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an alternate embodiment of the present invention in which the outdoor compressor/condenser coil in an air-to-air split system is replaced with a water source heat pump communicating with a potable water source shown in the cooling mode; and
FIG. 4 is a diagram similar to FIG. 3 showing the water source heat pump operating in the heating mode with heat being absorbed from a water source shown as a municipal main.
Turning now to the drawings, a schematic diagram of a conventional chiller system is shown in FIG. 1 and is labeled as being representative of the prior art. The prior art chiller system includes a refrigeration system having a compressor 10, expansion valve 12, condenser 14 and a cooler 16. The compressor compresses a volume of refrigerant such as halocarbon gas. Reduction of the volume of the refrigerant increases the temperature of the gas. On the high pressure side, the refrigerant is directed through a water cooled condenser 14 from where it is directed across an expansion valve 12 to cooler 16. Chilled water leaves the cooler 16 at line 22 and is directed to a fan coil unit 24 which supplies cool air to a temperature-controlled space or area. Return water is directed to the cooler from the fan coil unit at conduit 26. Typically, chilled water leaves the cooler at approximately 44� F. and returns at about 54� F.
Condenser cooling water is provided to the condenser via line 28 from cooling tower 30. Typically, the water from the cooling tower is about 85� F. Water exits the condenser 14 at approximately 95� and is directed to the cooling tower via line 32. The cooling tower may be of various types such as a direct contact device or an indirect contact evaporative cooling tower. For purposes of representation, cooling tower 30 is shown as a direct contact type having a distributor 35 at the upper end of a housing 30. Water is sprayed downwardly and passes through a fill or packing 34 transferring the source heat load directly to the air which is warmed and exits from the top of the cooling tower. Cooled water collects in a sump 40 at the bottom and, as has been discussed, is directed to the condenser to cool the condenser by line 28.
Systems such as shown in FIG. 1 are widely used and are generally effective. However, providing condenser cooled water by means of a cooling tower is both expensive and wasteful. Cooling towers are very maintenance intensive due to the environment in which they operate. Often, the effective life of a cooling tower is only 10 years. Also, a cooling tower for a 40-story, 800,000 square foot building will require approximately 150,000 gallons of water per day, about one-half of which is directed to waste or lost to evaporization.
Thus, with the present invention, the cooling tower system as shown in FIG. 1 is replaced with a water source heat pump using a municipal water distribution system as the heat sink or heat source.
FIG. 2 shows a modified form of the water source heat pump 100 which is shown as a single package reverse cycle unit. In the normal cooling mode, the unit has a cooler/evaporative section 110 through which refrigerant flows to cause the refrigerant to evaporate extracting heat from the water passing through the chiller. The water exits the cooler at conduit 108 and is directed to a fan coil unit 114 which supplies cool air to a controlled space. Return water flows from the fan coil to the chiller via line 112.
The condenser side of the heat pump 100 is designated by the numeral 120. Condenser cooling water is again supplied in a water loop 125 which is connected at tap 126 to municipal water main 130. Conduit 132 extends between the tap 126 and the condenser 120. Typically, the condenser cooling water enters the condenser at approximately 85� F. and exits at line 134 at approximately 95� F. The conduit 134 connects the condenser with the municipal water line 130 at connection 128 downstream of tap 126. A mixing valve 135 is thermostatically controlled and is interposed in the conduit 132. Mixing valve 135 connects with conduit 134 via conduit 142. As indicated above, the potable water from most sources such as water mains generally would be about 85� F. If the temperature of the water introduced into the chiller condenser varies significantly from the predetermined set point, the temperature of the water entering the chiller can be tempered by mixing it with the warmer water exiting the chiller. The warmer water flows through conduit 134, conduit 142 into mixing valve 135 where it is mixed with the colder water from the water loop which is warmed and introduced into the chiller via line 125.
It is also possible to extract heat from the warm water exiting the chiller through line 134. To this end, a heat recovery loop 150 is provided. Heat recovery loop 150 includes a conduit 152 which diverts a portion of the water exiting the condenser to heat recovery unit 155 by means of valve 156. The heat recovery system 155 may be a simple liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger in which the heated liquid is directed by line 160 to a boiler or other point of use. The heat recovery unit 155 may also be a heat exchanger with the warmed fluid being utilized as a heat source. Heat extraction will result in the water returning from the heat recovery unit to be cooled and returned via conduit 163 across valve 162 to connection 128 where it is returned to the city water supply. The heat extraction system would be particularly useful during certain seasons when buildings, due to their orientation or location, may require simultaneous heating and cooling in different zones or areas of the building. Heat extraction would also be applicable to certain applications as hospitals where the extracted heat may economically be used for other uses such as heating water. Thus, the fan coil unit 114 can be used to generate cold air for cooling zones and the heat extraction system 150 can be used to provide heat to those areas requiring heating.
FIG. 2A shows a system essentially identical to that shown in FIG. 2. Accordingly, the same numerals have been used to identify common components and repetitive description of these common components is not believed necessary. The embodiment of FIG. 2A includes a heat exchanger 145 which receives water from the municipal supply 130 and returns it to the supply at 128 to maintain the potability of the supply. A working fluid is cooled in the heat exchanger and directed to cooler 120 via conduit 132. The heated working fluid is returned to the heat exchanger by means of conduit 131.
FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate another embodiment of the present invention in which the outside compressor and condensing coil on conventional air-to-air split systems are replaced with water source heat pumps. As shown in FIG. 4, many smaller commercial heating and air conditioning systems will place a condenser and compressor unit 200 on the roof of a building 202. Such systems rely on cooling the condensing coil by air-to-air heat exchange as chilled water cooling tower systems are not economical for such installations.
With the present invention, the existing roof mounted condenser is disconnected and replaced with a water source heat pump 225 at a suitable, convenient location. The water source heat pump may be located on the roof but it would be more efficient to mount the unit in a basement or equipment room of the building. In such instance, the water source heat pump would be more convenient to a source of water such as a municipal water supply flowing through the city water main 260. Water supplied to the water source heat exchanger from a water main 260 at connection 262. The water is directed to an isolating heat exchanger 265 is interposed in the water loop system. Water from the water main is circulated through the isolating heat exchanger 265 in indirect contact with the cooling water in the cooling water loop which circulates through the heat exchanger 268 to cool the condenser coils when operating in the cooling mode. The water supply to the isolating heat exchanger is returned at a slightly elevated temperature to the water main 260 at connection 275.
The water source heat pump 225, as has been described above, operates in the cooling mode and the compressed refrigerant from compressor 228 is directed by the reversing valve 280 to the heat exchanger 268. Heat exchanger 268 functions as a condenser and the refrigerant gives up heat to the water circulating from the heat exchanger 268 to the isolating heat exchanger 265 and thereby becomes a liquid at high pressure. The refrigerant flows across a thermostatic expansion valve 230 in which the compressed refrigerant is expanded. With the reduction of pressure, the refrigerant passes from the liquid state to a gaseous state and enters the second heat exchanger or the indoor coil 280. The indoor coil 280 serves as an evaporator to remove heat from air passing over the coils of the heat exchanger thereby cooling the air. The cooled air is directed to the temperature controlled space.
In the heating mode of operation shown in FIG. 4, the reversing valve 280 has been shifted to a position such that the indoor coil 280 serves as a condenser and the heat exchanger 268 serves as an evaporator. In this mode of operation, the secondary cooling loop provides heat. The primary cooling loop consists of water from the municipal water main extracted at tap 262 and circulated through a section of the intermediate or isolating heat exchanger 265. The relatively warmer water will heat the refrigerant in heat exchanger 268 which heat is given off at coil 280.
While the foregoing water source heat pump system has been described with reference to use of municipal water main or water supply system as the water source, other suitable water sources may be used such as gray water or industrial waste fluid which has suitable temperature and other characteristics. In such instances, an isolating or intermediate heat exchanger will necessarily be interposed so that the water loop consists of a primary loop and a secondary loop thereby substantially reducing the possibility of contamination of the condenser. Also, because of regulations relating to the use and discharge of municipal water supplies and concern about contamination, one or more intermediate or isolating heat exchangers will normally also be provided in the water loop.
While the principles of the invention have been made clear in the illustrative embodiments set forth above, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art to make various modifications to the structure, arrangement, proportion, elements, materials and components used in the practice of the invention. To the extent that these various modifications do not depart from the spirit and scope of the appended claims, they are intended to be encompassed therein.

THE CURRENT FORMULATION: The sage in the opening brings out an interesting sort of cover-up of the indole from the gardenia, but the indole lasts only a minute or two as does the sage, leaving a pleasant green galbanum in control. I often had problems with galbanum but in this case, it comes through beautifully. The galbanum morphs into a delicious floral heart accord featuring jasmine, rose, and bergamot, and heres where I begin to pick up Miss Diors chypre nature the soft, discreet oakmoss from the base shadows the excellent floral bouquet. It grows richer and richer, adding depth with labdanum and patchouli with the soft oakmoss coming to its full bloom. The current version of Miss Dior is a bit of a rarity: Its a pretty fragrance that has real depth in its hidden recesses. But it has longevity problems on my skin. THE VINTAGE VERSION (thanks, ubuandibeme): After the sharp galbanum opening, the chypre nature of this earlier Miss Dior hits complete with the leather that I didnt smell in the current version. This opening carries an immediate leather note along with the bergamot and the oakmoss I dont get the gardenia and only a hint of indole hiding under the smooth leather. The rose and jasmine take their time (why hurry?) to show up under the leather chypreness and these arent the pretty florals that I expereinced in the current formulation
these florals are sensual and enticing in their quiet voluptuousness. This accord holds for hours as it gradually changes into a soft drydown of patchouli and labdanum with still a trace of oakmoss. This is a great scent and even the current version, though less intense and more modern, is a thumbs up.

From Bangkok going to Siem Reap - there's an airline called CEBU PACIFIC (www.cebupacificair.com) but the route is BKK - (via Philippines)- Siem Reap - but the price is cheaper and they do always gives promo on a specific travel period or until seats last. You may try it then. c",)
I think Cebu Pacific flies out of Budget and it is possible that you may not be able to check your luggage through. in which case, clear immigrationa and customs ( a breeze ), take a taxi just outside ( a breeze), go to hotels81 in jhoo chiat lane, the red light district of singapore, a more interesting part of singapore, people wise, lots of places to eat and drink and also very reasonably priced hotels and not too far from changi airport and then return to changi airport. the budget terminal is not that good but the main terminal 1 is one of the best airports you would want to be stranded in. In fact, I find Changi Airport to be far more interesting, from a social and cultural point of view than the tractof land that is singapore..

Many artists try to change up their sound with their third/fourth album. Take Linkin Park for example, having made Minutes to Midnight and A Thousand Suns a great transition into more mature music by going for a more stripped back sound that's less driven by anger and more by quality musical ideas. 805 more words

I love philosophy and talking the way things work, and how words are used, and the assumptions we tend to make. I like the challenge beliefs and play the devil's advocate. I am not satisfied with superficial responses and lazy rationalizations. I can be a bit intense when it comes to intellectual discussions.
I love my job and I am good at it. I have further career ambitions and plans to go back to grad school in a year to pursue those goals. I travel a lot for my job, which is fine while I am young but I want a position thats a little more in one place.

Screen Gems to Develop Feature Film Based on BLACK CITY Series
Screen Gems has preemptively closed a deal to develop the feature film based on the highly anticipated young-adult fantasy series BLACK CITY, written by Elizabeth Richards. The first book in the series, Black City, will be released this coming November 13 via publisher Putnam Juvenile, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers Group. Screen Gems moved quickly to complete the rights deal for the series based on the high level of anticipation for the property in the online community and other young adult circles. Screen Gems is currently searching for a screenwriter to adapt the material for film.
Black City tells the story of a city where humans and Darklings are now separated by a high wall and tensions between the two races still simmer after a terrible war, sixteen-year-olds Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling, and Natalie Buchanan, a human and the daughter of the Emissary, meet and do the unthinkable - they fall in love.
Black City marks Elizabeth Richards? debut novel. Ms. Richards is an award-winning journalist who spent her early career reviewing video games for a living before making the bold move to become a travel writer and editor, specializing in cruise holidays, despite suffering from terrible sea sickness. In her spare time Elizabeth ran a successful lifestyle website aimed at teenage girls, where she got to interview many of her favorite bands, go to gigs and basically bag loads of free swag all in the name of ?research?. More recently she worked as a website editor before deciding to pursue her dream of becoming an author. She now dedicates her time to writing fantasy books aimed at young adults.
The author and title were represented by Ayesha Pande of Ayesha Pande Literary and CAA.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124

After doing a few searches on www2 and www3 ... its a mess! There are irrelevant SERPS all over the place. I am getting medical sites in Washington showing up for BVI yacht charter searchers. No wonder it took so long. I think they had better hold off a while, looks as though they have a few "tiny" problems!!!
on www each domain is only being returned once, usually a good sign of db movement,
eg on my top searches siteA normally has 1,2 spots
siteB 3,4 siteC 5,6 etc
currently A=1
Doing searches for pure danish terms having special danish characters shows results in polish, italian, .gov domains etc. sure it's a mess.
Other SERPS looks fine, with relevant results and my sites moving up one or two places, but the music has just started and from here the band keeps playing for 4-5 days, what a party ;)

The British University in Dubai Co-Organizes Asian Conference Discussing Opportunities and Challenges for Region's Lucrative Construction Market .
June 14, 2010 3:42 by Rasha Reslan
The Middle East's construction industry is believed to be set for a positive future outlook following a recent conference held in Hong Kong titled "New Visions for the Middle East Construction Industry: Opportunities and Challenges Ahead."
To better equip construction professionals to capitalise on the opportunities and cope with the challenges in the Middle East's construction industry, The British University in Dubai and The University of Hong Kong, together with the Hong Kong Institute of Construction Managers, (HKICM) organised a one-day symposium that provided Hong Kong-based professionals with first hand information and knowledge about the market condition, legislation, practice, technologies, and business culture in the Middle East. The conference's other co-organisers included the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry with endorsement by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
The event was attended by more than 160 Asia-based industry practitioners who represent various government departments, client bodies, architectural, engineering and surveying consulting practices, educational institutions, and other construction-related organisations.
Dr. Mohammed Dulaimi, Senior Lecturer at The British University in Dubai, said: "Asia-based construction professionals are focusing heavily on the Middle East's recognised construction sector. Despite the recent downturn of construction activities in Dubai, construction remains a very strong sector in the Middle East as the industry is estimated to be worth USD1.6 trillion. In 2010, construction projects in the entire Middle East region amount to USD726 billion, which is almost 60 times the construction volume in Hong Kong."
"The UAE and Saudi Arabia, in particular, remain strong with each country contributing around 30 percent of the total construction volume in the entire region this year. Gaining a full understanding of the different requirements and regulations is necessary to succeed in the Middle East," added Dulaimi, who presented a keynote speech at the conference titled "Culture and Customs and their Influence on Business and Project Success."
The symposium included a strong list of speakers from government officials, senior construction practitioners to eminent academics from the Middle East, United Kingdom and Hong Kong
Construction stakeholders in Hong Kong also discussed future opportunities in the Middle East, as their experience and know-how in mega infrastructure projects, high-rise building, sustainable construction, and urban planning are readily exportable and should be an extremely sought after asset in the Middle East.

Nitrobenzoic acid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nitrobenzoic acids are derivatives of benzoic acid. Two are commercially important. They are about ten times more acidic than the parent benzoic acid .[1]
- 2-Nitrobenzoic acid is prepared by oxidation of 2-nitrotoluene.
- 3-Nitrobenzoic acid is a precursor to 3-aminobenzoic acid, which in turn is used to prepare some dyes. It is prepared by nitration of benzoic acid as well as benzaldehyde concomitant with oxidation.[clarification needed]
- 4-Nitrobenzoic acid is a precursor to 4-aminobenzoic acid, a precursor to the anestheic Procaine. It is prepared by oxidation of 4-nitrotoluene.

Blake Griffin had his second straight double-double, Caron Butler scored 19 points and the Los Angeles Clippers opened the new year with a 93-88 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night to snap a two-game skid. Griffin had 20 points and 10 rebounds to go with 17 points by Chris Paul and 13 by reserve Mo Williams in sending the Blazers to their first loss of the season. Jamal Crawford scored 23 points and LaMarcus Aldridge added 19 for the Blazers, playing on the road for the first time after opening 3-0 at home. Nicolas Batum added 15 points. They erased most of a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter, but the Clippers hung on to end a five-game losing streak against their Western Conference rival. After allowing San Antonio and Chicago to shoot more than 50 percent in losing their previous two games, the Clippers held the Blazers to 42 percent. The Blazers opened the fourth quarter with six straight points before Williams scored five in a row for the Clippers. P...

Actavis plc
's (
) second quarter 2014 earnings came in at $3.42 per share, beating
the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.37 per share and increasing
70.1% from the year-ago earnings.
Revenues for the reported quarter came in at $2.67 billion, up
34% from the year-ago period, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate
of $2.56 billion.
Results were boosted by the inclusion of products from the
Warner Chilcott acquisition.
Quarterly Details
Actavis has two revenue producing segments -- Actavis Pharma and
Anda Distribution.
While Actavis Pharma includes all branded, branded generic,
generic and over-the-counter products, Anda Distribution includes
revenue from the distribution of third-party products.
The Actavis Pharma segment posted sales of $2.24 billion, up
30.7%. Results benefited from the Warner Chilcott acquisition, new
product launches, and higher international revenues.
North American Brands revenue soared 305.5% to $587.2 million,
driven by the Warner Chilcott acquisition and increased sales of
key legacy products.
While Women's Health revenues were $230.8 million, Urology and
Gastroenterology revenues increased 284.4% to $214.5 million.
Dermatology and Established Brands revenue increased 109.6% to
$141.9 million.
North American Generics revenues increased 8.6% to $1.03 billion
driven by the strong performance of the generic versions of
Cymbalta and Lidoderm. Generic Concerta sales, however, were
impacted by competition.
International revenues increased marginally to $621.6
Net revenues from the Anda Distribution segment increased 54.8%
during the quarter to $427 million reflecting higher volume and new
third-party launches.
Provides Outlook for Second Half 2014 and 2015
Actavis, which recently acquired Forest Laboratories, provided
its outlook for the second half of the year. The company expects to
earn $6.25 - $6.50 per share on total net revenues of about $7
Full year earnings are expected in the range of $13.02 and
$13.32 per share - this is below the current Zacks Consensus
Estimate of $13.67 per share.
The company also provided its initial outlook for 2015. Actavis
expects to earn $15.60 and $16.80 per share on net revenues of
about $15 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings and
revenue are $16.72 per share and $14.2 billion, respectively.
Actavis expects to spend about $1.2 billion on R&D in
Our Take
Actavis' second quarter results were once again strong with the
company beating on the top- and bottom-line. Meanwhile, the
company, which recently acquired Forest, provided its outlook for
the second half of 2014 and 2015.
The Forest acquisition is in line with the company's strategy of
building its branded product portfolio. With a fewer number of
blockbuster products slated to lose patent protection in the coming
years, quite a few generic companies have been focusing on
strengthening their branded product offerings.
Actavis is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock. Some better-ranked
stocks in the health care sector include Mallinckrodt plc (
), Actelion Ltd. (
) and Alexion Pharmaceuticals (
). While Mallinckrodt and Actelion are Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy)
stocks, Alexion is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock.

I'm a born and raised Torontonian and I'd rather go to a Jays game, a Raptors game, an Argos game over watching the Steelheads or go to Brampton and watch the Battalion.
Toronto is a Leafs town - always has been. They don't support the Marlies worth a damn even when there is no other option available (attendance of 6,000 is a joke), and don't know junior hockey exists, unless it's the World Juniors and then it's only because it's "the place to be". Right now the Jays, Leafs, Rock, and Toronto FC aren't playing. The Raptors season just started, and the Argos season is winding down.
Another good question is how many people in these small towns are just hockey fans and not sports fans? Do they follow the Raptors, do they follow the Jays, or is it junior hockey all year long?
Are you serious?
Well, us junior hockey fans follow other sports when Pa warms up the generator and we attach a real nice antenna to Ma's back kitchen.
For the record, most junior hockey fans I know are all round diehard sports fans. I can't believe that was a legitimate question...

'Amazing Race': James and Abba on Their Stolen Passport and Why They Were in a Limo With a Priest
'Amazing Race': James and Abba on Their Stolen Passport and Why They Were in a Limo With a Priest
"We was robbed," James LoMenzo quipped at the end of Sunday night's The Amazing Race. "Literally," chimed in Mark "Abba" Abbatista. Which sums up the duo's stroke of seriously bad luck leading to their elimination in Sunday night's episode.
It all started in last week's episode, when James, a former member of the bands White Lion and Megadeth, and Abba, an entertainment lawyer, left their backpacks in a taxi while heading to perform one of the challenges to receive their next clue -- and the cab driver drove off with their belongings, including Abba's passport. As longtime viewers know, teams must have their passport to continue on with the race.
THR's Reality TV Poll: The 6 Biggest Surprises
When James and Abba reached the mat, host Phil Keoghan told they were in fourth place and still had time to find the missing passport. Failing to locate the taxi, they finally returned to the mat in last place, only to be told it was a non-elimination leg.
James, 53, and Abba, 45, spent a good deal of time in this week's episode trying to procure a new passport for Abba -- including filing a police report -- to no avail. As such, they were eliminated from the race. (Five teams remain.)
On Monday, the duo talked to The Hollywood Reporter about how they got home, whether they finished the entire leg, the prank Abba almost pulled on the other competitors and why they were seen in a limo with a priest.
The Hollywood Reporter: So Abba, it was just you who lost the passport?
Abba: No, I did not lose my passport; it was stolen from us. We had a cab driver who drove away with both our bags. As soon as we got out of the car, he drove off; it was a conscious, malicious act of theft and not something stupid where we just left our bags somewhere. Why my passport was in my bag was I had gotten out of the pool [where the challenge called for the competitors to perform with a Russian synchronized swim team] and I had no towel and I was wet. I took the passport out of my clothes because they were soaking wet. It was the one of the oddest circumstances in my life; next time I'm synchronized-swimming with a Russian Olympic team, that definitely will not happen.
James: He normally has his passport tattooed to himself.
Abba: Normally, I sleep with my passport because I'm so insecure; I have it tied with a piece of string and I tie my bags to me, so people can't take something if I'm sleeping. We were in the airport overnight in Bangladesh and everybody was sleeping and took off their shoes. And I was contemplating taking everybody's shoes just for fun. They were all just laying there with their bags. I [took extra precaution] to make sure nobody took my shoes. It's a lesson for everybody: No matter how careful you are, every once in a while it gets you.

THR: So he literally just drove off as soon as you got out of the car? Had you told him to wait for you?
James: Throughout the race, I told the twins [Natalie and Nadiya] on more than one occasion, [leaving your bags] was the most foolish thing you could do, and they did it with impunity. I felt it would be OK to leave our bags there because I actually saw the clue box where we pulled over, and I thought we could grab the clue and jump back into the cab and go on to the next clue.
