Riata appears to be failing in many countries .. now durata appears to be showing similar problems.
American centres appear to have fracture rates of approx 15% .
will a thin coating called optim save the day ? hard to believe ..
What are people's thoughts on how the Riata recall will impact the stock price and market share?
This is the million dollar question, and very hard to answer. We have little data to help. I do think the HRS webinar will calm some implanters, but let's not forget the research report 6-8 weeks ago that stated implanters were spooked and avoiding STJ for the time.
I work in this field so I have a bias, but I will do my best to report my observations un-emotionally. In my city, STJ's ICD market share has been down significantly in the last two months. If I were pressed to give a number I would say 30%. But, to provide balance, their pacer business is un-affected (obviously, huge revenue difference between ICDs and pacers). I also suspect that STJ's share loss in my area is more severe than across the country. There is a wide range of personalities among physicians, and products are choosen for a WIDE range of reasons...
I do believe STJ is still in the thick of this issue, they will have an earnings hit from this, and the CEO better be calm, cool, and collected on the next conference call (if anyone is willing to ask the tough questions). If you require a highly ethical company before investing (I think of Merck), this isn't it.
Two questions that should be asked:
- Back in 2007, when Mdt was getting burned at the stake for their lead issue, Starks made bold statements on how Riata was different (durable, would stand the test of time, backed by the best quality system around). His words are now empty. Why should we believe him now when he says Durata will be fine?
- STJ's only current ICD lead (Durata) was FDA approved through the 510k process, meaning that Durata required limited clinical data because it was designed very similarly to a known predecessor (Riata) with a known, reliable track record. Now that Riata has been recalled, how can physicians, or patients, or the FDA be confident in Durata?
The next conference call will be fascinating. If there is an earnings hit that cannot be masked by the Qtr to Qtr shell game that all companies play, then STJ has to address why customers don't believe them. Admittedly, the actions of STJ's competitors on this issue have been fierce! Is the issue real, or perceived, we honestly don't have the data to know yet, not enough time has passed. This is the turn off for conservative implanters.
At hospitals where implanters are not contractually tied to what they use, STJ has lost share. I do not know what portion of the US is tied into 1-2 year contracts. Let's say that STJ loses 8 - 10%share points in the US ICD market (I think this is reasonable), what portion of overall earnings is this? Please reply with your estimate.
Also, does anyone know when the next Qtr end conference call is?
Great presentation at AHA last night from the country's most noted lead expert on the "pre-recall" Riata situation. It was comforting to know that at least the doctors are taking steps to help the patients since St. Jude just sits around and does NOTHING but to deny the issue for financial greed reasons....
That is not true. St. Jude offers free leads and operation cost for the replacement and promise to stay monitoring all patients.
I thought they spoke english as a first language in Pennsylvania.
I missed the last few presentations. Any chance you have more info on the 'pre-recall' Riata presentation, who gave it or a link to information on the AHA website?
Jim, you seem awefully angry about this. Did you get spurned by a device company in the past for a job? Remember no device and or leads are 100% perfect. Remember MDT and their Fidelis issues?
Do you have a link to any evidence of Durata failing?
Just x-ray pictures, floro images and we photograph all explanted leads. They are mainly Riata but we do have Durata as well. Just have more Riata because the leading edge of Durata is too soon.
Today we are extracting our 13th Riata due to inside out abrasion which caused the lead to fail. Rep from STJ continues to say there is nothing wrong....disgusting.....FDA, when ever you would like to step in, that would be great!
Publish or post the pictures and evidence to back up your claims. If you're not in a position to get it published, contact someone who is.
Barry Meier at the New York Times published a significant article on Guidant before their 2005-2006 issues. You could contact him. You can also read his article at http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/24/business/24heart.html?pagewanted=all as an example of what he wrote. You can also contact the FDA if your center's complaints aren't being taken seriously by STJ. Provide them a list of lead models, serial numbers, copies of the documentation of the issues, and then they'll be at STJ writing them 483s.
If you have evidence that the defect rate is as high as you claim it to be, then you and your center need to man-up, come forward publically, and do something about it. St. Jude's published failure rates (http://www.sjmprofessional.com/Resources/product-performance-reports/Product-Performance-Report.aspx) are much lower than you indicate. There are over 150,000 Durata and Riata leads implanted so a bunch of people could be impacted if what you say is true. If you have evidence that they are at a greater risk than reported, it's your duty to raise the flag.
If you don't have evidence and are just repeating what you read off cafepharma, stop alarming patients.
He said there were not any problems due to the optim coating. He's correct, the issue has nothing to do with optim coating. The coating is supposed to eliminate inside out abrasion. It won't. His comment is a play on words.
I work within the industry in a clinical capacity and find it hard to believe that St. Jude has not given any guidance on how to managed the patients. They put out a "Dear Doctor" letter almost a year ago, which they never delivered to the medical community rather they posted it online. This is not only a Riata problem, it is happening in Durata too. No doubt in my mind that they would have called a field action if they had another lead to market. This is truly a business ethics case that they will lose and will cost them DEARLY. We have stopped implanting all STJ leads.
On the contraary, the North part of the PA has grown and increased by 30% this quarter just by the sales of the pacemaker device. I have a feeling that you are a poster from the competitor that trying to inject negative fact to try to bring down the share price. While you said that you have stopped using STJ leads, many new clinics have signed and given more business this quarter.
What failure modes is your facility seeing and how are they being detected?
Is your facility proactively screening patients for lead damage with flouro?
If a damaged lead is detected, is it being capped or explanted?

I replaced the screen two times on a Dell Vostro 3700 laptop. It's a LED backlight screen supposedly (LTN173KT01-C09). When I put in the first replacement, it DID work at first, but only lasted a couple weeks before it went dark. The video is working if you shine a light inside. So what else would cause the LED backlight not to work? The video cable looks ok at least on the screen side, and what I can see going in to the case. I have not opened the main housing yet. An external monitor works fine.

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
As a matter of diagnostic protocol, you have to check every centimeter of the screen wiring harness... All the way to the connector on the motherboard. Until you have verified the health of the cable and connector, as well as the connection to the board, you can't go further.

SEB, HVB Appeal Asia Pacific Breweries 'Gambling Monster' Case
Bayerische Hypo-und Vereinsbank AG and SEB AB appealed a Singapore court ruling that Asia Pacific Breweries Ltd. wasn't responsible for $57 million in loans taken out by a former executive to fund his gambling addiction.
Singapore's Court of Appeal will deliberate on the "extremely complicated case" before making a decision, Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong said at the hearing yesterday. The banks had sought to dismiss an Aug. 31 ruling that they were "easy prey" to loans fraudulently obtained by Chia Teck Leng, the Singapore-based company's former finance manager, in the brewer's name.
Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, also known as SEB, and HVB were reckless and took their "eyes off the ball," by ignoring their usual procedures in dealing with Chia, Davinder Singh, Asia Pacific Breweries' lawyer, told the court yesterday. Both European banks say the company should be liable for their losses as Chia was the most senior finance person in the brewer's Singapore unit and responsible for financial matters.
There was a "deafening silence" on the brewer's own lapses in allowing Chia to carry out his fraud from 1999 to 2003, said Alvin Yeo, a lawyer for Munich-based bank HVB.
Asia Pacific Breweries wants "to go scot-free when they unleashed this gambling monster on the banking community," said Sundaresh Menon, a lawyer for Stockholm-based SEB. Putting a gambler in charge of finances was like "putting an alcoholic in charge of a brewery," he said.
Warning Signs Missed
Chia signed loan agreements in the front seat of his car, made telegraphic transfers to an unnamed patron account at Crown Ltd., Australia's biggest casino owner, and had the banks send correspondence to a post office box address, warning signs which the banks missed, Singh said.
"Any reasonable banker exercising common sense and prudence would have been incredulous," he added.
Both SEB and HVB missed discrepancies in documents that "were staring bank officers in the face" and ignored normal procedures when dealing with Chia, Judge Belinda Ang said in August. Chia, described as an "inveterate gambler who unremittingly resorted to cheating and forgery" by Ang, was sentenced to 42 years in jail in 2004 for cheating and forgery.
"The case definitely serves as a timely reminder to banks to be more cautious when checking whether a corporate loan has indeed been properly authorized and approved," said Lan Luh Luh, at the National University of Singapore's Business school.
Beer Maker's Shares Flat
Shirley Poo, a spokeswoman for the maker of Tiger Beer declined to comment yesterday. Asia Pacific Breweries shares closed unchanged at S$14.2 in Singapore. The stock has climbed 15 percent this year.
Ola Kallemur, a Stockholm-based spokesman for SEB, declined to comment. A spokeswoman at UniCredit SpA, which acquired HVB, couldn't immediately comment.
Chia defrauded four banks including Japan's Mizuho Financial Group Inc. and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. of S$117 million ($85 million) by forging the signatures of Asia Pacific Breweries directors to get loans in the company's name between 1999 and 2003. The Tokyo-based banks withdrew their case against Asia Pacific Breweries on the seventh day of the trial.
"The use which Chia made of his employer's name in order to borrow with ease from the bank was just as much a fraud on APB as it was on the banks," Ang wrote in her 232-page ruling.
In addition to the loans, Chia also embezzled S$53 million from the brewery, according to court filings.
Asia Pacific Breweries denied responsibility in the fraud and counter-sued SEB, Sweden's third-largest bank by market value, for "dishonest assistance," according to court filings. The brewery is a unit of Fraser & Neave Ltd., Singapore's biggest beverage maker.
Drew & Napier LLC is representing Asia Pacific Breweries while Wong Partnership LLP represents HVB and Rajah & Tann LLP appears for SEB.
The case is Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB, Singapore Branch v Asia Pacific Breweries (Singapore) Pte Ltd. & Another CA121/2009 and Bayerische Hypo-Und Vereinsbank Aktieengesellschaft v Asia Pacific Breweries (Singapore) Pte Ltd. & Another CA122/2009 in the Singapore High Court.

Europe's sovereign-debt crisis is far from over, and economies on the periphery of the euro zone remain deeply troubled. Unrest has simmered in Greece and Spain as protesters have railed against government-imposed austerity, while economic growth, the desperately needed cure for the Continent's ills, seems a long way off.
So, is now a good time to buy European stocks? You bet. Despite lingering financial turmoil, doubts about the euro zone's sustainability effectively have been put to rest. European companies are awash in cash, and many are positioned to benefit from growth beyond their borders. Not least, their shares are cheap, even though the Stoxx Europe 600 index has risen 15% this year, to a recent 280.95. Some investors think they could rally more than 10%, and perhaps as much as 20%, in the coming year.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index trades for 11.5 times 2013 estimated earnings, compared with a price/earnings multiple of 12.5 for the Standard & Poor's 500. European equities have sold at a discount to U.S. stocks since the 1980s, but the gap has widened in recent years because of heightened political and financial risk. Stoxx 600 constituents yield an average of 3.8%, nearly double the 2.2% yield on the S&P, and almost triple the coupon on 10-year German bunds.
This has been a winning year for many European companies. Take fashion retailer Inditex ITX.MC -0.2591093117408907% Industria de Diseno Textil S.A.

The parent of the Zara chain trades for 27.5 times next year's expected earnings, which isn't cheap, but its earnings record makes it hard to bet against.
European stocks have done well, in part because companies are in excellent financial health. They took advantage of the recession to clean up their balance sheets, cut costs, trim capital expenditures, and hoard cash. Stoxx Europe 600 components boasted cash and equivalents of 596 billion euros ($790 billion) at the end of 2011, according to ThomsonReuters Eikon. That was up from about €540 billion in 2007. Corporate earnings are forecast to rise between 5% and 10% in 2013, aided by a weaker euro.
THE STOXX EUROPE 600 is dominated by banks, health-care, and industrial companies. Less than a third of index components have net debt, which means Europe's corporate finances are in far better shape than the finances of many European governments. Shareholders are likely to ratchet up pressure on companies to put their cash to work, which could lead to more capital spending, an increase in merger activity, and more stock buybacks and dividend payments. Stepped-up spending, in turn, could help grease the wheels of Europe's economy.
But financial muscle alone isn't enough to unlock value. "If equity markets in Europe are going to give you a decent return next year, it is going to have to come from multiple expansion," says Dominic Rossi, global chief investment officer for equities at Fidelity.
Price/earnings multiples have improved since the summer, when the European Central Bank took action that finally persuaded investors it had the determination and ammunition to tackle the euro-zone sovereign-debt crisis. ECB President Mario Draghi pledged in July to do "whatever it takes" to save the euro. Those were the words that markets were longing to hear.
Europe's political risk has diminished but hasn't disappeared. Greece's economy is a shambles, but each time the country has gone to the brink of disaster, a face-saving resolution to ease its debt burden has been found. Spain continues to resist a rescue, even though the ECB has drawn up a suitable mechanism to provide support.
France also is a cause for concern. Credit-rating agencies have stripped the country of its triple-A rating over worries about its competitiveness. The government urgently needs to reduce dependence on public spending. France's troubles are exemplified by the plight of car maker Peugeot UG.FR 9.89010989010989% Peugeot S.A. ADR U.S.: OTC USD15 1.35 9.89010989010989% /Date(1469658001000-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 558 P/E Ratio 13.048016701461378 Market Cap 11089472334.9365 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (UG.France), which has been strong-armed by the government to keep open factories to preserve jobs, despite overcapacity in the European auto market. Peugeot disclosed earlier this year that it is losing €200 million a month. Its shares have fallen almost 50% in 2012.
GERMANY IS EUROPE'S standout economy, an economic engine firing on all cylinders, fueled by demand for exports. Industrial production is strong, and unemployment is low. Frankfurt's blue-chip DAX index is up 29.5% in 2012, the best-performing market in Europe. With no sign of demand for German goods slowing, the shares could have another good year. Chancellor Angela Merkel is almost certain to win a third term in office in September, another plus.
While many European economies stagnate, European companies could benefit in 2013 from accelerated global growth. The global economy is forecast to expand by 3% to 3.5%, driven by a broadening recovery in the U.S. and the resumption of turbocharged growth in China after this year's more sluggish performance. "If we don't get an improvement in the U.S. and Asia, European equities would be much more vulnerable," says Dorothee Deck, European strategist at Absolute Strategy Research in London. Failure by the U.S. to resolve fiscal-cliff issues also would be a blow.

European cyclicals look more attractive than defensive issues, with sectors such as autos and auto parts, and media, likely to benefit from higher profit margins. Luxury goods, too, have promising prospects. Telecommunications and oil and gas companies could face head winds, however. Opinions are divided on financials, although insurers are expected to outperform banks as bond yields start to rise.

Volkswagen (VOW3.Germany), the German auto maker, enjoyed a bumper year in 2012, and 2013 could be a repeat.

Volkswagen shares could advance at least 20% in the next 12 months, as demand for new cars is boosted by a broadening economic recovery in the U.S. and more growth in China. The company's global footprint helps mitigate the impact of a weak European market.
Volkswagen has 12.6% of the global auto market, selling one of every eight new cars, and its share is growing. Sales are forecast to top €200 billion in 2013. With a stable of brands including Lamborghini, Audi, and Skoda, Volkswagen is exposed to the more profitable premium-car sector, and trucks. Operating profit margins will slip this year due to write-downs related to the purchases of Porsche and truck maker MAN, but the company's scale gives it leverage to improve profitability in 2013.
Don't write off BMW, either. Since Barron's wrote a positive piece on the shares in the fall (see European Trader, Oct. 29), they have risen 19%, and could add 15% next year.

Roche Holding (ROG.Switzerland) can outperform peers in 2013 as investor focus shifts to new products and away from macroeconomic troubles. The pharmaceutical company had positive results in 11 of 14 late-stage clinical drug trials this year. It also brought several new products to market, including Zelboraf and Erivedge, for skin cancer, and Perjeta, which strengthens its portfolio of breast-cancer medicines. Roche has a young product portfolio and the lowest patent-expiry risk among leading drug concerns, which augurs well for future growth. Nor is competition from biosimilars solidifying as quickly as expected.
Roche closed on Friday at 186.60 Swiss francs ($203.42). The stock trades for 12.4 times future earnings, below the sector average of more than 13 times. Roche is expected to earn CHF15.08 per share in 2013, up from a forecast CHF13.57 in 2012. Sales next year will be just shy of CHF48 billion.
Roche yields 3.6%, but analysts anticipate a special dividend in the next few years. The company, which paid specials in the past, is expected to move from a position of net debt to net cash in 2015. Credit Suisse rates the stock at Outperform with a price target of CHF223.
WPP WPP.LN 0.17959770114942528% WPP PLC ADR U.S.: Nasdaq USD111.56 0.2 0.17959770114942528% /Date(1469653200274-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 102846 AFTER HOURS USD111.56 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio 16.547755017280508 Market Cap 28517034053.0601 Dividend Yield 3.793562208676945% Rev. per Employee 145663 More quote details and news » (WPP.U.K.), the advertising and marketing giant, is growing steadily due to its geographic exposure and presence in digital channels. In the first nine months of 2012, revenue from digital businesses was up more than 7% year-to-year. Digital advertising is growing rapidly in mature markets such as North America, where more traditional forms of advertising are declining.
WPP, whose brands include Grey, JWT, and Ogilvy & Mather, also has market-leading positions in China and India. The company could earn 78 pence per share in 2013 on forecast revenue of £10.75 billion. Its shares, which closed on Friday at £8.90, trade for 11.4 times forecast earnings for 2013, well below a historical average of 15 to 16 times earnings.
The advertising industry traditionally has grown through acquisitions, but consolidation looks to be slowing. That is freeing up more money for dividends and share buybacks. "This is a high-quality business with high returns and good growth prospects, trading [at an] attractive valuation compared to the long-term history and the potential of the business model," says Matthew Siddle, who manages the Fidelity European Growth Fund and owns shares. Bernstein Research rates WPP Outperform, with a price target of £10.50.
LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (MC.France) is a smart play on burgeoning demand for luxury goods. The industry has shown resilience in a difficult environment, and could continue to do well if the economic recovery in the U.S. broadens and fast-paced growth in China continues. Through the first nine months of 2012, LVMH reported 22% growth in sales, including 10% organic growth, due to strength in Europe and Asia, and a pickup in the U.S. Its sought-after brands include Louis Vuitton, Donna Karan, Bulgari, Christian Dior, and TAG Heuer.
Sales are expected to reach €27.93 billion in 2012, up from €23.66 billion in 2011. Operating profit could approach €6 billion, and free cash flow, almost €3 billion. LVMH shares ended last week at €140 and trade for 17.6 times forecast 2013 earnings of €7.97 per share. That multiple is in line with rivals like Richemont, which owns Cartier. LVMH yields 2.1%, having hiked its payout last year. Analysts at Nomura think shares could rally to €165.
Deutsche Post (DPW.Germany) could rack up substantial gains in the next 12 months due to the performance of its DHL parcel-delivery unit, the company's key profit driver. DHL controls more than a third of the Asia-Pacific market, where its revenue is growing at a double-digit pace. Progress was bumpy in the third quarter, but could be back on track in 2013, fueled by growth in China and the U.S. DHL also has a strong foothold in the logistics market in Europe and the Americas.
The company's mail business in Germany continues to generate healthy profits, despite declining volume. The shares, which closed on Friday at €16.62, trade for 12 times forecast 2013 earnings of €1.39 a share, up from an estimated €1.28 this year.

The French media and telecommunications giant likely will sell Maroc Telecom, the Moroccan incumbent, or GVT, the alternative telecom operator in Brazil. GVT would fetch more -- up to an estimated €8 billion. Proceeds could go toward reducing debt and buying back shares. A €4.4 billion buyback at €18 a share would make the stock worth €19.70 per share, according to Credit Suisse, which rates Vivendi Outperform with a €19.10 price target.

Its Universal Music Group is releasing albums from artists such as the Rolling Stones and Rihanna. Even if a share buyback doesn't materialize, Vivendi still offers good value after underperforming in 2012. Its 5.7% dividend looks secure.
AXA (CS.France) shares have climbed 33% in 2012, to €13.37, but at 6.8 times next year's expected earnings, they still look cheap. The large insurer is expected to earn €1.98 per share in 2013, up from an estimated €1.84 in 2012. Shares could rise to €16 or more in the next 12 months if the company can deliver on its strategy to be more selective about opportunities in mature markets.
AXA is looking to expand its more profitable life-protection business at the expense of traditional savings products, and is concentrating on margin instead of volume in property and casualty. Operating in unfavorable markets has hurt its financial performance, but it looks to be better positioned now. Among insurance peers, AXA also offers the best dividend yield at more than 5%.

Yet, despite the country's financial straits, Enagás profits rose 3.9% in the first nine months of 2012. Sales are expected to rise to €1.3 billion in 2013 from €1.2 billion this year. The company had €3.42 billion of debt as of Sept. 30, but its credit rating is higher than Spain's sovereign rating. Shares, at €16.20, trade for under 10 times forecast 2013 earnings of €1.67 per share. Enagás, which has a market value of €3.87 billion, offers a dividend yield of about 5%.
T. Rowe Price's Tenerelli says Enagás' business isn't economically sensitive. He reckons the stock could trade for 11 to 12 times future earnings, and be worth just shy of €20.
EUROPEAN POLITICS and poor economic news have unfairly depressed the prices and P/Es of some of the Continent's best companies. As Jim Moffett, chief international strategist at Scout Investments, says, "We are looking for good companies in bad places."
Europe obliges on both counts.

I am a 33-year old female who is training to participate in a half-marathon walking this fall for TNT. I would love to meet some people in the area that are into walking and biking that I could train with. I would be looking for a partner for anytime on Saturday, Sunday or Monday during the summer. Tuesdays through Thursdays would be after 6:30 most of the time and probably only around 2-3 miles. Weekends would be longer routes, sometimes up to 10 miles. These mileages are for the walks. My bike rides are usually a half-hour to 40 minutes.

I've taken a few aborted stabs at using Vagrant to deploy "local" development instances in the past, but have never been able to take the time to get all the way around the learning curve. I'm trying again and while I can get the Opscode cookbook (apache2) to load, it doesn't work out of the box because the
DocumentRoot isn't pointing to
I get that and it's not unexpected, but I don't have a sense of how to put this all together and the Vagrant documentation, understandably, doesn't go into much detail. The Opscode cookbook readme, on the other hand, provides so much detail that the noob in me can't wrap my head around it.
Here's the uber simple snippet I have right now:
config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
chef.cookbooks_path = "cookbooks"
chef.add_recipe "apache2"
# You may also specify custom JSON attributes:
# chef.json = { :mysql_password => "foo" }
There's not much there, I know. In some way I know that the
chef.json component plays into what I want to do, but I don't know how. Can someone provide -- or point me to -- a Vagrant-centric example of how I'd configure the
DocumentRoot for the Apache2 instance that's being installed? I'm hoping that once I have an example, I'll know how to piece together everything else I need.
Also, just out of curiosity, why am I calling
chef.add_recipe to load an Apache2 cookbook? Or am I misunderstanding the syntax?
Thanks for your help.

Changing economic structures and impacts of shocks — evidence from a DSGE model for China
We construct a small-scale dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model that features price rigidities, habit formation in consumption and costs in capital adjustment, and calibrate the model with data for the Chinese economy. Our interest centers on the impact of technology and monetary policy shocks for different structures of the Chinese economy. In particular, we evaluate how a rebalancing of the economy from investment-led to consumption-led growth would affect the economic dynamics after a shock occurs. Our findings suggest that a rebalancing would reduce the volatility of the real economy in the event of a technology shock, which provides support for policies aiming to increase the consumption share in China.

I know its been a while... i've been quite busy with commercial content. A side effect of that commercial content is that I can afford quite a bit more than I used to, such as an advanced GPU renderer and a beefy card to go with it: The video explains how this will benefit Delura's production and gives a few comparisons between the old and new.

Just stopped by to see how you were making out. I'm in the process of purchasing the components for an unambitious desktop gaming system, and have (mostly) settled on the GeForce 650 Ti. Different strokes for different folks and all; running a power hungry AMD 8 core CPU is bad enough, so the cheaper, low power consumption 650 Ti looks to be a decent, low ball alternative.
Very happy to hear your commercial work is paying some bills :)

"Yosemite Valley Shuttle Bus" Shuttle Bus Tip by IceBear7
Shuttle Bus, Yosemite National Park: 22 reviews and 17 photos
The Shuttle Buses are a great way to get around Yosemite Valley. They go every 10 minutes from early morning to late at night and stop at all important places like hotels, visitor centers, trailheads and car parks. They are free!
And the drivers are an attraction as well, they are constantly talking into their microphones to entertain and inform their passengers, explain some sights, talk about the hotels, the animals, the weather, the mountains or just have conversations with some passengers and the whole bus can listen. I learnd a lot about the quality of pillows nowadays - they are nothing like the pillows in the good old days!

From Our Editors
From this high up, the world seems small and compact, framing the ocean, mountains, and desert in the same field of vision. Though Mt. Baldy's soaring peaks seem to shrink the globe to the size of a globe, they also grant access to nature's majesty throughout the year. Four chairlifts gently propel skiers through the San Gabriel Mountains over the trails and 600 acres of skiable earth ranging from gentle slopes to natural quarter pipes. In the warmer months, hiking trails blaze through mountainsides, affording glimpses of historical mining facilities and natural wonders, such as canyons, fauna such as bighorn sheep, and Mother Nature's secret collection of acre-long coffee spoons.

Line 1587 - the value of the text box writes out
$_POST["user_email2"] when really it should check to see if that post variable is set. I recommend:
(isset($_POST["user_email2"]) ? $_POST["user_email2"] : '')
This needs to happen on lines 1597, 1605, 1613, 1621, 1629, 1637, 1649, and notably 1662.

Dirty Moons was fifteen years in the making. Recording the album sporadically over that long stretch of time, Cleveland's Prisonshake have come out with a finished product that spans over 22 tracks and two discs. Suffice it to say, the results are all over the map. They maintain their long-ago established psych-touched power-pop sound, and occasionally incite some head bobbing with songs like "Favorite Hospital" and "We've Only Tasted the Wine". But too often the band sounds like they lost sight of this project a while ago.
"Scissors Suite", a collection of songs that takes up the better part of the first disc, is a jumbled mess of disconnected song snippets with no discernible connection to each other. The 10-minute plus "Year of the Donk (Including the Leftover Monkey)" has some good rock song moments, but gets bogged down in itself and undone by goofy lyrics. In fact, Prisonshake manage to be both goofy and self-serious at the same time on Dirty Moons. And they are always willfully aimless, breaking up songs with useless chunks of noise or sound bites instead of just finishing the song. You can hear fifteen years worth of work on Dirty Moons, that's for sure, but more than a few of those years could have definitely stayed in the cans.

YOUNGSTOWN — Police are awaiting autopsy results to determine if the death of a homeless man whose body was found late Wednesday evening is a homicide.
James Syster, 55, was found just after 10 p.m. behind the parking lot at Front and Hazel streets.
Chief of Detectives Capt. Brad Blackburn said Syster had abrasions on his face, but witnesses told investigators he was seen earlier in the day with those bruises.
Blackburn said there were no obvious signs of foul play.
The area is one where homeless people downtown are known to congregate.
Well, I see the revitalization's going gangbusters...

An Approach to the Digital Level Compression Using the Zero-Crossing Points of the Programme Signals
An approach to a new method for level compression of audio signals is made by computer simulation. This method employs some digital techniques for signal processing and utilizes the nature of zero-crossing point effectively. By this method, high compression of audio signals is achieved without degradation of the quality of signals. According to the results of the computer simulation, a new device is manufactured for trial.

Very Nice
It has good energy throughout the whole song! I was jammin' to it while writing a paper, Good Job!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Very trancy, if this your first try, you should keep going.
I don't why this is such a low score (Probably they didnt bother listening till the end) But this is an awesome tune for first try.
I though't I was about to listen to something real crap, but I'll take that back haha.
You should do more trance tunes, express yourself.
The only -1 is that a bit dull with the same melody all the time.
But anyways, keep up the good job mate.

Dr. Dee
by Damon Albarn
- Record Label: Virgin
- Release Date: May 8, 2012
- Summary: The soundtrack to Damon Albarn's opera about Dr. John Dee, a 17th century mathematician, astronomer, and advisor to Queen Elizabeth I, includes influences from West African, modern folk and classical music.
- Record Label: Virgin
- Genre(s): Classical, Opera, Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, Alternative Pop/Rock
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 14 out of 27
Mixed: 12 out of 27
Negative: 1 out of 27
May 8, 2012Only with the exquisite, hazily-focused Dr Dee, Albarn has succeeded in alchemically--if not perfectly--transforming cotton and foil into silver and gold.
May 3, 2012There's some brave music, and reminders of Albarn's gift for melody.
MagnetJun 13, 2012The whole of Dr. Dee is bucolic yet slightly nervy with Albarn's chatty croon acting as yet another gentle breeze wafting through the Arcadian affair. It's not the Damon-pop solo you hoped for. [No.88 p.52]
May 8, 2012Dr Dee's well-defined boundaries mean it lacks the sense of adventure found in previous efforts, but Albarn deserves kudos for such artistic fearlessness.
May 7, 2012The biggest draw comes in the folk-leaning songs. Beginning with "Apple Carts" and concluding with "The Dancing King" there is an Albarn solo album of sorts here, hidden among the stern runes.
May 23, 2012An ambitious and unexpected move, sure, but the mix of period strings, vocal choruses and West African percussion (plus Albarn's gloomy score) makes for a dense term paper.
May 7, 2012The soundtrack strives for a quirky, melancholy resonance befitting its tragic subject, but too often it comes off as gimmicky and ponderous.
Score distribution:
Positive: 0 out of 1
Mixed: 1 out of 1
Negative: 0 out of 1

The Pitiful Nature Of Why"Why am I here?"The Pitiful Nature Of Why by IxCANxHAZxCOOKIE
"Why was I born this way?"
"Why did that happen?"
"Why am I not happy?"
"Why don't you understand?"
"Why can't I have you?"
"Why can't I believe?"
"Why can't I just move on?"
"Why do I have to die?"
"Why not you?"
I find it rather sad how almost all the questions worth asking in life do not have a proper answer.
And if they do, the answer usually comes too late.
They Have Returned The air was damp and heavy. I knew it would rain soon, and I realized I had best take out the trash before the weather grew truly foul.They Have Returned by IxCANxHAZxCOOKIE
I was really in no mood to venture out, mind you, but I convinced myself it was all in all the best decision. As I reached the doorway, one foot already out on the stairwell, I turned my head to cast a last look at Nigel, my little terrier who I had grown quite fond of over the years. He had proved to be a brave and loyal companion in the time of the feline Resistance, and since then we had both formed a deep bond of mutual respect and friendship. I waved to him on my way out, though he did not see me; he was preoccupied by something at the window-a squirrel most likely, the poor dear was never really excessive in intelligence.
Upon exiting the building, I was quite glad to discover that the rain had not yet begun to fall; I fancied Providence was favoring me that day. How frightfully wrong I was.
After disposing my load accordingl
Some PeopleThere is a glass containing water that is sitting on a table.Some People by IxCANxHAZxCOOKIE
Some people are optimists, and believe the glass is half full.
Some people are pessimists, and believe the glass is half empty.
Some people are philosophers, and attempt to explain why the water is there.
Some people are opportunists, and drink all the water.
Some people are conspiracy theorists, and question wether or not the water is real.
Some people are clumsy, and knock over the glass on accident.
Some people are malicious and knock it over on purpose.
Some people simply do not care.
In the corner is where I sit, silently observing. I laugh.
I laugh because I am the one who poured the glass, and I find it amusing what trouble arises
from but a little splash of water.
The Good DoctorAh, the good doctor shall make sure,The Good Doctor by IxCANxHAZxCOOKIE
That you and your comrades will hurt no more.
I do declare, he shall make sure,
That all of you shall ache no more.
His methods are queer,
But they've worked for years,
To ease one's pain and sorrow.
For the poisons bold,
Once they take hold,
You won't live to see tomorrow.
And just like that, your pain is gone!
For death can heal the most wretched of wrongs.
Then the doctor retires into the night,
For all of your wrongs have now been made right.

It's been a great run, and I like UTX long-term, but I'm selling if we fall below $105.
Hopefully it won't happen.
Sentiment: Hold
not-so-calm,........That's a very tight stop, right now you're 17 ¢ away from being stopped out......Good Luck
Actually, I didn't wait for a stop-loss, I went ahead and sold at $105.10 earlier today.
My guess is we trade sideways or down in the short-term, but I'll be looking for another entry point in the near future.
For now, I've put on my bear suit and I'm headed to the bomb shelter for a short break.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Calm, Remember.....Remain Calm-under-Pressure. It will perform well over the long term unless the entire economy goes south. I would like to see it drop sub-100 and I will pick up some.
I agree long-term, but in my opinion the market and UTX needs a breather.
Which is why I calmly sold at $105 and locked in my recent gains.

Thank you Furai. I've written it up and I'm ready for my 3rd Quality Control check.
To outrun Rayquaza and Kyurem-W, you need 168 EVs with a neutral nature, you only need 56 Speed EVs with a Timid nature.
I don't think you are setup bait for Arceus-Ghost or Giratina-O. You can just burn them both and Roar them out if they are greedy. Arceus-Steel makes a great check to them, and instead put in Arceus-Fighting or Ground. Those two hit you hard without needing a boost. Mention Ho-Oh and Reshiram as well, they are immune to burn and can OHKO you. Even if the weather is rainy, Arceus-Steel does not like to stay in on them and Ho-Oh will likely burn you as well, it even has Earthquake. Reshiram can Focus Blast if it really needs to, but Specs Blue Flare still hits you hard in rain. Stalling for a miss isn't a good idea as it also has a 20% burn rate and a critical hit will OHKO.
It is now up.
This thread needs some loving :(
I'd like you to expand on your teammates section a little bit more. You can add a little bit more on Kyogre, since Steelceus can tank blows from Latias all day, a Pokemon that Kyogre has trouble with. For entry hazards, you can mention Forretress, Skarmory, Ferrothorn and other Spikers. One thing to note is that this Steelceus, since he has very little offensive presence, is hazard bait itself, so be sure to add mentions of Rapid Spnners (eg Forretress, Tentacruel, Excadrill, Kabutops) and Magic Bouncers. I'd also mention Pokemon that can switch into Steelceus' weaknesses as well. You've got Kyogre already, but Latias is also good. Giratina formes, especially Giratina-O, also synergise very well with Steelceus. Landorus-T is good for Ground and Fighting moves, as is Gliscor.
I would say mentioning Magic Bouncers as team-mates is fairly redundant as Arceus-Steel is the opposite of a good partner to them, i.e. He can't threaten entry haxard users at all, making it significantly harder for Espeon/Xatu to do their job. Spinners are cool though, since this set is spike bait as hell- although Arceus-Steel itself doesn't need them much to perform its job. All spinners are really bad against sun, and so is this Arceus set. Maybe a mention of how this set being spikes bait and solving that by adding a spinner might makes your team weaker to sun?
Right now I want to thank you for helping me with this. I'm new here, so you've been a really big help, pointing out a fucking shit ton of stuff I would normally miss. Thank you in advance for getting this on Smogon. I've made all of the changes.
that was to shrang lol
You're points seem like they contradict what you're trying to get across imo. If Arceus is Spikes bait, then wouldn't you want to switch in a Magic Bounce user?
So now stuff is different here on Smogon, so now would be a great time to get stuff done! I'm going to do plenty of edting and I'm hoping for my last QC check. It's good to be back!
I've changed the title of the set to Utility Support, as it uses Ice Beam to take down many of the things it switches on with Ice Beam, while walling them at the same time, and I've updated the title slightly as well.
Just a quick note, I understand that English isn't your first language but you really should try to proofread before GP. I'm not trying to be mean but it's really hard to read what you wrote and I imagine the GP team won't be very eager to check it themselves.
Anyways, on to the nitpicking:
Remove the mention of Groudon in the second sentence, it has EQ and Drought so Kyogre's Drizzle isn't helping you.
Remove the mention of Groudon as setup bait. There isn't much point in saying it sets up on Steelarc just to say it actually doesn't in the next sentence.
You should probably go ahead and merge the whole setup bait bit into the section on teammates. That way you can point out it's weaknesses and follow up with potential partners to deal with them.
I kinda want to see a sentence along the lines of "As the EV spread for Arceus-Steel can easily be changed to suit one's needs.." before the alternate EV spread options to really make it clear that Arceus is incredibly flexible.
Sorry, I don't understand what "Frail sweepers are good as well, as they have a revenge killer checked and taken care of. Mewtwo is a good example." is supposed to mean. Could you explain it to me?
In general I feel like you talk about what Steelarc's moves do and what partners you should run with it but not much about what the set itself is meant to accomplish. (besides being a support set) Can you include a short bit about what the set is designed to do and why one would want to use it over another support Steel type like Jirachi or Ferrothorn?
That first sentence is an insult. English is my first language. I don't feel I'm qualified for this. You can continue this thread if you would like.
If you still want me to do this, too bad, I suck.
Oh, I'm really sorry. I made a false assumption and made an ass of you and me. It wasn't intended as an insult, though. You just got to fix up your prose a bit and things will work out. If you still really don't want to do it, we can always reassign. I would hate to see you give up your chance because of a stupid blunder on my part.
Thank you for that. I was in a bad mood yesterday, but I'll do it now! I still need to make the fixes though, and I'll edit this post when I do.
EDIT: I didn't realize I was going to be busy all day today, so I'll have it up either GMT -7 at 11:00 PM or tommorow morning. However, I've already made a little bit of progress, so that's good.
So I've finished
I've applied all these changes, however I've made some changes of my own.
I've made quite a few changes to the Set Comments, which elaborates more on why this Arceus sucks at checking/countering Extreme Killer. I felt this was necessary because Shrang wanted me to put that in earlier, and I did, of course, but I felt that I didn't give enough reasons to why you should use this to check/counter Ex. Killer.
I've removed the frail sweepers part. That was extremely vague on my part, and no matter how many times I'd tried to tweak that sentence to explain more, it wouldn't come out right, and it wouldn't make it past GP too.
As for the part about using it over Jirachi and Ferrothorn, I'd changed the title of set from "Defensive" to "Utility Support". I feel that this Arceus set has a niche in the metagame. I felt it was a little different from other defensive Steel-types. However, I couldn't justify it very much before. However, when you said that it's extremely flexible, that gave me inspiration to justify it's niche and use in the Ubers metagame. Yes, Jirachi is flexible, and Ferrothorn has access to entry hazards, but there are some key differences between them:
1. Reliable recovery
2. Roar and Perish Song
3. Higher base stats than Rachi/Better offenses than Ferro (Ice Beam is part of the niche imo)
I think this has a niche for the following:
1. See last list.
2. Good check to Dragon-types in general.
I'll add all this niche info in the Set Comments.
You got me back from losing hope in this set in two freaking posts! That is a job well done, and thank you very much for the advice you've given me so far!
Oh yes, I had a question I forgot to post: With all of my new content in here, does anyone think this is a bit of tl:dr?
EDIT: Aaaaaaaaaand another one: What does the tag Copyediting mean?
It's fine for the analysis to be tl;dr if it isn't fluff or repetition, and this analysis tends to have a bit of the latter, however, it can get fixed in the copyediting stage. Speaking of which, the copyediting stage is when the GP team (and amateur checkers) come in and make grammatical changes to your analysis. After doing so, they will stamp your analysis (much like QC) to indicate that they're done and that you should implement their changes. Once you get two GP checks (maybe more, if GP thinks it's necessary), you will have your analysis completed and ready to go on-site. More info about the GP team can be found here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/grammar-prose-team-queue-2-grammatic-boogaloo.3471267/ (sorry for the sloppy link, I'm on my tablet and it isn't letting me hyperlink :[)
Thanks Rohail! I'm just full of questions, huh? Two more questions, just because I'm new! :D
1. What is a hyperlink, and how do I use it? (This is probably going to get me a tag that says noob)
2. Do I have to do anything else once I get my final GP check?
No problem, it's good to ask questions, however, to keep the thread uncluttered, you should just VM me or another member your questions instead of posting them here.
A hyperlink is a link that is sort of inside a word, this is an example of such. You can hyperlink by highlighting a word(s) and then clicking the hyperlink button on your toolbar (the place where you can bold and stuff), after doing so, a message will pop up asking you to enter the web address that you're trying to link to, do so, and you're done.
You don't have to do anything after you get your last GP check unless a member of GP or QC asks to make some last minute changes.
Note: You can also use this thread to ask simple questions (read the OP first!) that can be answered by anyone.
Thanks! I'll use that a lot, as I'm a noob here :D.
I might make a big sweep again like I did earlier today, so expect big changes! Once that's all sorted out I just want more nitpicks and possibly a QC check! That's just wishful thinking though.
EDIT: Dang, you're right Rohail, that was a whole paragraph of Arceus-Normal crap I needed to edit. I also got a whole copy of a part of AC that was merged via Melee Mewtwo's advice, so that was a waste! We'll see how it goes in GP checks though!
Two other attacks worth mentioning in AC are Stone Edge and Magic Coat. Stone Edge is good for nailing all the Ho-Oh that love to switch into Steel Arceus while Magic Coat removes that weakness to Spike setters and can even anti lead Deo S. (252 Atk Deoxys-S Fire Punch vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Arceus-Steel: 112-134 (25.28 - 30.24%) -- guaranteed 4HKO)
Changes made.
Theorymon should nitpick this soon...
Sorry for the long wait! Before I get started with the content stuff, me and Oglemi talked about the prose in this analysis: I think it's going to need quite a bit of work before I can approve! Don't worry though, me and him are gonna team up to help you with that, there will be a post about that late today / tomorrow!
Anyways, here's some nitpicks about the content.
-When it comes to selling points over other Steels, you should mention Steel Arceus's Special Defense. 120 HP / 120 SpD pretty much makes it the most specially bulky Steel. Combine that with the base 120 defense, and you pretty much have Uber's bulkiest Steel!
- Mention Sun in general as a problem. The moment you see stuff like Ho-Oh, Reshiram, and Heatram, Steel Arceus is NOT going to be happy!
-Speaking of sun, I think a mention of Flamethrower would be nice for AC. Magic Coat is better for rain teams, but on sun teams, it's nice for Forretress and Excadrill switch-ins
- Change "pink blob" to Chansey / Blissey.
-Move the Speed EV stuff to the first paragraph.
-I'd personally split the second paragraph into two paragraphs: one for dealing with Spikers, the other for dealing with Steelceus's weaknesses.
- I think Ho-Oh deserves a mention as a teammate. Not only does it offer great offensive presence, but it also is immune to Ground AND resists Fire and Fighting type moves! And of course, it's especially great on Sun teams.
-I'm not sure about Mewtwo as a teammate. Mewtwo is a great Pokémon and can certainly work on teams with Steel Arceus, but it doesn't provide any particularly special synergy.
