Stocks to Watch: Pfizer, Chesapeake Energy and More
Some stocks to watch this morning, including Pfizer and MannKind.
Drug companies unleashed a glut of research about diabetes treatments Friday, including data about the popular Byetta treatment and longer-acting versions of it. There were also encouraging statements about an inhaled-insulin treatment from MannKind. Amylin Pharma shares were flat premarket, while MannKind's climbed 9.8% to $4.38.
Pfizer Inc. on Friday disclosed the pharmaceutical giant is mulling a "strategic transaction" with biopharmaceutical firm Icagen, talks that could result in an asset acquisition or a merger. Shares of Icagen more than doubled in value, up 169% to $6.45 premarket.
Metropolitan Health Networks Inc. agreed to acquire Continucare for about $391.1 million, strengthening Metropolitans's presence in the growing Florida Medicare Advantage and Medicaid market. Continucare shares were up 31% at $6.26 in recent premarket trading.
Natural gas companies Chesapeake Energy Corp., Quicksilver Resources Inc. and Southwestern Energy Co. traded down premarket after a report in the New York Times that suggested some officials in the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a division of the Energy Department, are skeptical about the shale gas industry, saying it may be "set up for failure." Shares of Chesapeake lost 3.3% to $27.09 premarket, Quicksilver Resources shed 1.9% to $14.32 and Southwestern Energy declined 1.7% to $40.15.
Shares of Pain Therapeutics Inc. tumbled 25% to $4 after the biopharmaceutical company said it received a complete response letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on the resubmission to the new drug application for REMOXY, its extended-release capsules of oxycodone. The fall extends the company's Friday losses; shares were off more than 40% Friday after the FDA rejected a new drug application from Pain Therapeutics and Pfizer Inc. for REMOXY. Durect Corp., whose technology was used to develop the drug, lost 16% premarket to $1.78. Acura Pharmaceuticals Inc., whose new immediate-release oxycodone pain drug was approved for marketing by the FDA last week, gained 3.7% to $4.25 premarket.

Everyday, I see some report, study, or article touting all the impressively wonderful health benefits of omega-3 fats.
But, that's not why I personally take fish oil.
In my case, I'm young and healthy. I exercise daily, & I generally avoid eating lots of processed crap.
Like everyone else reading this blog, I know all about the long-term health benefits of omega-3s. But, if I told you that was the main reason I used supplements…
…it would be a complete crock.
When I do tell you, your first reaction might be that it's the most unbelievable, crazy, and superficial reason you've ever heard of.
I want you to hear me out, though.
My reasons for supplementing might be different than yours…
Still, I'm pretty confident that learning about them will change the way you think about supplementing.
Now, then. Let's get down to work. To be completely and utterly honest with you — the main reason I take fish oil is to get healthy looking skin.
That's right. I want good skin.
More from FishOilBlog.com: How Omega-3 Promotes Healthy Skin
I'm not going to tell you that I only care about flawless looking skin or that I'm only interested in short-term benefits…
That's not true.
The truth is, I pay so much attention to the mirror because I see how my skin is effected by what I eat.
There are half a dozen other reasons why I started taking fish oil, but healthy looking skin is what usually reminds me to keep taking it.
I see my skin everyday. To me, taking care of it seems more relevant than preventing heart attacks, reducing the risk of stroke, or making sure I limit my risk to 70 other health conditions that won't develop for years.

KTM Power Sports AG says revenue totaled €149.4 million ($219.1 million) for its fiscal first quarter, ended Nov. 30, up 15.3% from €129.5 million ($189.9 million) in the same three-month period in 2006. EBIT totaled €18.9 million ($27.7 million), up 64.7% from €11.5 million ($16.8 million) in the prior-year first quarter. KTM's profit per share reached 2.18 euro ($3.19), up from €1.06 ($1.55) in the year-ago period.
KTM says first quarter revenue growth was significantly influenced by increased sales in enduro sales, higher revenues from parts and apparel sales, and increased sales of engines to other OEMs (like Polaris).
Buoyed by new product, KTM says it expects to continue to grow sales this year. The company launched its first supersport bike, the 1190 RC8, in late 2007, and plans the first deliveries of its X-Bow automobile later this year.
However, "due to the continuously weak U.S. dollar, the margin situation will worsen," company officials announced, adding that "price adjustments and a selective product policy in North America shall partially compensate the negative exchange rate influences."

|Comparing Analytical Methods for Detecting and Characterizing Nanoparticles in Formulated Products
|October 01, 2008
|To understand the extent of consumer exposure to nanomaterials as well as how nanomaterials impact consumer goods, it is necessary to detect and characterize nanomaterials in unmodified final products. Although there are pathways to characterize nanomaterials pre-formulation, once the nanomaterial has been processed into the final product, the number of methods available to detect and characterize the nanomaterial in an unmodified state decreases. Here we evaluate methods to detect and characterize nanoparticles in unmodified commercial products. At the initiation of the study, it was unknown if these products, namely over the counter sunscreens, contained nanomaterials. Of the methods tested, variable pressure scanning electron microscopy (VPSEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), and x-ray diffraction (XRD) were found to be viable and complementary methods for both detecting and characterizing nanoparticles in unmodified products.

The new crossover segment encourages car makers to be more creative than they have in years. Witness the 2007 Mazda CX-9, Mazda's largest car sporting a unique exterior look that embodies the company's "zoom-zoom" theme. The CX-9 works as a minivan replacement, and has three rows of seats for maximum people-carrying capacity.
The CX-9 looks like a larger version of the company's previous crossover, the CX-7. A much larger version. With its 20-inch wheels and over 16-foot length, it looks big when it rolls up next to you. Its unique Mazda styling gives it a sporty look, although its narrowed rear windows and large D pillars seriously hamper rear visibility.
Heavily padded seats make it a comfortable car to sit in, and it offers a pretty smooth driving experience. Its engine moves this big car with little effort, while the six-speed automatic's high gears keep engine RPMs low during freeway driving. The stereo controls are the same poor layout we saw in the Mazdaspeed3, but the Bose audio system sounds very nice.
Test the tech: Working at the beach
Two tech items caught our eye when we got a hold of the CX-9: standard Bluetooth cell phone integration and an optional AC outlet. With our trusty laptop and cell phone, we did what we've always wanted to do: spend a day working at the beach. Bluetooth wasn't entirely necessary for this operation, but it made the car feel more like a mobile office. The AC outlet would keep our laptop running for as long as we needed.
We loaded up our equipment, forwarded our office phone to our cell, told the boss we would be online soon, and drove out to Rockaway Beach, on the Pacific coast just south of San Francisco. It was a day only a surfer could love, with cold wind and an overcast of fog making outside activities out of the question. But it made for some nice office scenery as we sat in the CX-9.
Before we set out, we paired up our Samsung SGH-D807 phone with the car, using its voice command system. The car shows visual feedback about phone pairing and numbers dialed in an LED display at the top of the stack. When we got to the beach, we plugged our laptop into the car's AC outlet and slid a Sprint Mobile Broadband card into the laptop's PC card slot. All communications were online.
The front and middle row seats feel like big recliners, and were more comfortable than our office chairs. We chose to work from the front seat so we could use the phone button on the steering wheel whenever we wanted to answer or place a call. Moving the seat back all the way and telescoping the steering wheel in gave ample room for our laptop, although some kind of fold-down desk would have been nice. Well, the CX-9 isn't exactly an executive limousine.
During our time in the car, we worked on this review, used the Web, and kept in contact with the office through our cell phone. The call quality was very good--we could easily hear and be heard. We had music on hand through the car's stereo system and, although we were tempted, we didn't make use of the rear-seat entertainment option.
In the cabin
With the size of this car and the big, comfortable seats, the interior feels like a well-furnished living room. But the interior decorator must have been schizophrenic, as interior accents combine fake wood, aluminum-looking strips, and glossy, piano-black panels. Someone needs to tell Mazda to either go with the wood or with the aluminum look, but not both, and we can do without the glossy-black plastic entirely.
The 'key' for this car is a credit card-size piece of plastic--an RFID transmitter that lets you open the doors and start the engine without taking it from your pocket. We like the convenience of these keyless start systems, and the shape of the Mazda transmitter makes it fit easily in pockets, wallets, and purses.
The stereo in our review car uses the same horrible arrangement as in the Mazdaspeed3, with the volume knob placed in the center, tuning on the left, and audio settings on the right. If the navigation option were present, the LCD would replace the stereo interface. The six-disc changer doesn't play MP3s, a surprising omission in any modern car. But the stereo is prepped for satellite radio, and an auxiliary audio jack is mounted in the center console, making it a good place to keep an iPod.

After driving almost non stop from Mexico City to Oaxaca, we arrived to much of a surprise. The trucks ran absolutely perfect through the mountainous passes. "Unstoppable" many times I though in my head as I even passed cars on the long rolling hills through the valleys making our way to Oaxaca. However after a hundred miles those valleys and hills, they became mountains, and I found myself trying to control a 6,500 lbs beast through treacherous switch backs.
Unstoppable! Discovering Oaxaca.

On Dan Snyder's Interesting Suit Against the Washington City Paper
It's not easy being a Cleveland Browns fan.
But it might be preferable to being a Washington Redskins fan.
Sure, the Skins had a good stretch in the '80s and '90s, winning the Big Game three times in 10 years. But since then, it's been bad. The mostly awful second Joe Gibbs era; the Heath Shuler era; the Jim Zorn era. Three playoff appearances since 1992. The team's unwillingness to change either its offensive name or logo. What's to like these days? Very little.
And now there's this lawsuit involving the team's owner, Dan Snyder, and the Washington City Paper. Last week, Snyder filed suit against the paper in New York, accusing the paper of a variety of wrongs stemming from this article by veteran D.C. sportswriter Dave McKenna. (The lawsuit followed a particularly pointed set of lawyer letters, which can be found here.)
The WSJ's Daily Fix column on Tuesday rounds up a whole bunch of the coverage on the suit, much of which has not been favorable to Snyder, to say the least. (Click here for another recent post, from the WSJ's Deal Journal.)
Writes the WSJ's David Roth:
It's tough to know what Redskins fans abhor most about the lawsuit. For some, it's the bullying tone of the letter from Snyder's attorney – which threatens that the cost of litigation would "presumably quickly outstrip the asset value of the Washington City Paper."
. . .
For others . . . it's the allegation that the defaced picture of Snyder that ran on the cover of the November 19, 2010 issue of City Paper – an illustration that has much in common with the desecration to which movie posters are subjected in New York's subways – was anti-Semitic. "This is almost unbearably stupid," The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg sighs. "The image isn't anti-Semitic, at least not to anyone who has ever gone to grade school and/or has scrawled on a magazine."
But, continued Roth, "the person who seems most unembarrassed by the lawsuit, it seems, is Snyder himself."
"What's baffling is Snyder's apparent inability to recognize that the very existence of the lawsuit buttresses the theme of the article," Susan Milligan writes in U.S. News and World Report. "Snyder is a wealthy man. Can he not afford a public relations consultant?" (No Redskins officials could be reached for comment by the Fix on this or other criticisms heaved at the team. We'll updated if we hear from them.)
Click here for equally damning take, from the New York Times's David Carr; here for another from the Washington Post's Gene Weingarten.
LBers, what do you think? Is the picture anti-Semitic? Any Skins fans out there who might come to Snyder's defense?

Where your editorialists live, and don't live
It's a small thing, really, but something worth noting nonetheless. For the first time ever, I believe, fully half of the Editorial department will soon be living south of (or in) downtown Dallas.
Our newest staffer, Ralph De La Cruz, who introduced himself to our readers in this blog post last week, is about to put us over the hump. He reported in our staff meeting this morning that he and his family have made an offer on a home in north Oak Cliff. If all goes well with the offer, Ralph will become the fifth person in Editorial to reside south of our local Mason-Dixon line. Others already in that camp are Bill McKenzie, Nicole Stockdale, Bonnie Bishop and me.
If you toss in Sharon Grigsby and Tod Robberson, both of whom live east of downtown and just a stone's throw north of I-30, you've got a majority of Editorial in the general area.
Why is this significant? Maybe it's really not. It wasn't so long ago, though, that living downtown or "south of the river" was deemed undesirable. In fact, when we shopped 10 years ago for our home several real estate agents actively discouraged us from living "down there" where they insisted the crime rate was too high and the home values too low to make the region worth even looking at. Thankfully, we had the good sense not to listen to them.
No more. Or at least not so much. A lot has changed. The city's hottest hot spots for crime are actually divided almost equally between the northern and southern halves of our city. Home values in many areas across the southern part of the city/county are holding their own. And there's a whole heck of a lot of fun stuff to do evenings and weekends within walking distance from many neighborhoods in this region – from Oak Cliff to the Cedars to downtown to Deep Ellum.
None of this is to pretend that challenges don't remain in southern Dallas. Clearly they do. Zoning issues, code-enforcement challenges, poverty, food deserts, etc. are all just for starters. That's why we continue to throw editorial muscle at our going-on-six-year-old Bridging Dallas North-South Gap project. All I'm saying is some things are changing, including perceptions and including where DMN editorial board members live.
Yes, we still have Yankees in our midst. One board member lives in Richardson. And two live in – eegads! – Denton County. But their numbers are limited; we've got them out voted.
Welcome aboard, Ralph!

Deep In The Nikkei, A Few Pearls
In Japan these days, the bad news never seems to end. The Kobe earthquake, runaway yen, plunging prices, and terrorist gas attacks have dampened consumer confidence, crimped a corporate earnings rebound, and sent the Nikkei stock average tumbling 20% so far this year. With many analysts predicting the average could fall below 14,000--an 1,800-point drop from the current level--trading volume is so low that you could find more action at a penny-ante poker game. "I think the outlook is appalling," grouses David Pike, equity strategist at Barclays de Zoete Wedd.
Most economists believe Japan's gross domestic product will grow no more than 0.5% in the fiscal year ending next Mar. 31. Even the few remaining bulls are getting edgy. One of them, Merrill Lynch & Co. chief Tokyo economist Peter Morgan, recently slashed his GDP forecast from 1.7% to 1% after news that inventories were up for the fourth straight month and unemployment had jumped to a record 3.2%. Unless the yen suddenly weakens, he says, "we are going into a recession."
LOOK FOR CASH. Does this mean you should shun Japan? Maybe not. For the most intrepid of investors, the Tokyo stock market offers a number of plays on companies that will probably come through the hard times in solid condition.
To find them, look for corporations with a technological edge, pricing power, and scads of cash. One such company is Kyocera Corp., whose shares also trade on the New York Stock Exchange via American depositary receipts. Kyocera is the world's largest manufacturer of ceramic packaging material that encases semiconductors. It also makes cellular-telephone handsets and owns 22% of DDI Corp., a fast-growing cell-phone carrier with a stock that is also on many buy lists. S.G. Warburg Securities Ltd. analyst Barry Dargan thinks Kyocera's profits will jump 19% in the current fiscal year. Other pro picks: Rohm Co., a big maker of semiconductor components that is riding the global chip boom, and Tokyo Electron Ltd., a thriving trading group and maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
Do video games appeal to you? To William L. Wilby, manager of the Oppenheimer Global Fund, the name to watch is Nintendo, one of his "favorite stocks in the world." Nintendo shares are down 80% from 1993, and the company has further annoyed investors by delaying the rollout of its Virtual Boy product line until after this Christmas. But Wilby predicts an earnings turnaround in 1996 or 1997. Meanwhile, the company is sitting on $3.65 billion in cash--40% of its market capitalization.
Nintendo isn't the only Japanese company rolling in dough despite tough times. Take Toyota Motor Corp. With a cash cushion of $25 billion, the auto giant probably could weather a 50-yen dollar before it feels real pain, says Lehman Brothers Inc. analyst Koji Endo.
THIN ICE. Another way to play the depressed market is to look for companies selling at steep discounts off Tokyo's Alice-in-Wonderland valuations. Merrill Research Director Hiroshi Nakagawa finds no shortage of good companies fetching a third of the average price-earnings ratio of 70. He recommends Sankyo Co., Japan's No.2 drug company. Its new antidiabetes medicine, Noscal, could bring in $1 billion annually after its scheduled release later this year. Nakagawa also likes Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical Co., which is active in antibiotics, cardiovascular drugs, and ulcer agents.
But don't get carried away. With the Japanese financial sector on the ropes, banks and life insurers are selling stocks at every turn--meaning that the market could lurch lower at any moment. If you're willing to shoulder the risk, however, Japan offers some opportunities. When the economy eventually turns the corner, the white-knuckle ride may have been worth it after all.

Lee, Commodore excited to make Lightning debuts
Keith Aulie, obtained from the Toronto Maple Leafs, is still awaiting a visa, but the other two newcomers, Brian Lee from the Ottawa Senators and veteran Mike Commodore from the Detroit Red Wings, will be playing Tuesday night and were just as happy to be joining the Lightning as Yzerman was to get them.
"I'm excited to be here. I think it's great," Lee said. "It's a fresh start for me and I'm coming to a great organization with what seems like a great group of guys."
Lee, a first-round draft selection in 2005, has appeared in 35 games this season with 1 goal and 7 assists. He said he was surprised by the trade and arrived in Tampa early Tuesday morning.
"I'm just trying to find out about the guys that I'm playing with; get to know them a little bit," Lee said after the morning skate in preparation for Tuesday night's meeting with the Montreal Canadiens. "We've got some guys down with sickness and injury so we'll have to play a simple game and grind them down."
One adjustment Lee made quickly concerns the change in climate.
"This is the dead of winter? It's terrible," Lee said, joking about the 80-degree Florida weather. "I don't know how you guys can handle it. It was snowing when I left Ottawa. There were three or four inches of snow on the ground. This is a nice change of pace."
Twelve-year veteran Mike Commodore, joining his seventh NHL team, expressed gratitude for the opportunity.
"Things didn't work out in Detroit, I wasn't getting an opportunity at all, so I'm appreciative that they cut me loose and gave me a chance to play," Commodore said. "I'm not 22 years old anymore, I'm 32. I'd like to play a few more years if I can, and in order to do that I have to play some games."
He'll get that opportunity with the Lightning, who are short players on the blue line. Victor Hedman missed two months with a concussion and returned to the lineup, but was re-injured and is undergoing evaluation for another concussion, while Mattias Ohlund won't play at all this season after knee surgery. Marc-Andre Bergeron remains sidelined with an upper-body injury.
"The whole idea behind Commodore, first of all we need a defenseman and we don't know if Bergeron and Hedman are coming back this year. We'll see," Lightning coach Guy Boucher said. "Obviously Ohlund
For his part, Commodore appears ready to do whatever is asked of him.
"I expect to bring some experience and a little bit of size on the back line," he said. "I'm going to try to be physical. I'm not going to try to do anything different than I always have; get the puck out. If they want me to kill some penalties, I'll kill some penalties. I just want to be a solid player."
Unlike Lee, who is 24 and Aulie, 22, Commodore's future with the Lightning is far from assured. That's something the veteran is well aware of.
"I'm looking forward to coming in here and contributing and doing the best I can to help this team win," Commodore said. "It's 20 big games for me and I'd like to get better with each one. Tonight's going to be a grind, there's no doubt about it, but I just want to try to get through tonight as best as possible and try to get better every game."

Hunches in Bunches
by Dr. Seuss
Hunches in Bunches Choices Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Stanza.Line)
Quote #1
Do you want to kick a football?
Or sit there on your behind?
Do you want to go out skating?
Fly a kite? Or climb a tree? (4.1-4)
So. Many. Choices. We truly feel for this kid. At least it looks like he has a healthy love of different hobbies. That's always a good thing.
Quote #2
By now my mind was so mixed up
I really didn't know
if I wanted to go to the barber shop
or to Boise, Idaho. (12.1-4)
The choices begin to grow pretty extreme. Just imagine what it must take for you to decide to up and go to all the way to Boise (assuming, of course, you don't live in Idaho).

It's great but that sentence is so wrong. Have a real listen to it. It's an unashamed, shallow, soul-less copy. I didn't used to think that. But it lacks Bowie's warmth.

On the Integrity and Secrecy of Judges
California's financial disclosure requirements for its judges are among the strongest in the nation. The state even posts online the reports about judges income and investments — a level of transparency that almost every other state refuses to meet.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, Montana, Utah and Idaho don't require their justices to file any disclosure reports at all.
Does that mean the judiciaries of Montana, Utah and Idaho are less honest and more prone to corruption than California's? It's a question to think about in reading a detailed, new report by the Center for Public Integrity on judicial financial disclosure.
The nonpartisan media watchdog group scrutinized the disclosure rules for judges in the highest state courts across the nation. States were rated on a scale of 0 to 100 and assigned letter grades based on their transparency. California got a 77 out of 100, the best in the nation. Maryland, Washington and Massachusetts and Illinois also ranked in the top five. Montana, Utah and Idaho tied for last with a score of zero.
The group found dozens of examples of "questionable gifts, investments overlapping with caseloads" and instances in which judges or their spouses owned stock in companies involved in cases over which they presided.
The report suggested that the center would have identified more conflicts were it not for the spotty or non-existent disclosure rules in many states, most of which received failing grades.
Minnesota, which tied for 45th place with a score of 17.5, won't release a disclosure report unless it's requested in person. Its disclosure forms don't require judges to list gifts or investments, but the state in August toughened its reporting requirements with changes taking effect in January.
Law Blog was struck by the response from Minnesota's court spokesman John Kostouros, who told the center that tougher disclosure rules are less important for his state than they are for Illinois or New York.
"You really have to watch public officials in those states," Mr. Kostouros told the group. "Minnesota has a very low tolerance for corruption."
There was also this response from Montana Court Administrator Beth McLaughlin about its zero score: "We disagree that a grade on the checklist provides any meaningful insight into how justices manage and are required to manage potential or real conflicts," she was quoted as saying. She said the American Bar Association's conduct codes for judges provide a "solid guideline for justices to avoid financial conflicts."
The Center for Public Integrity's John Dunbar, the lead editor of the piece, said the report isn't meant as a gauge of integrity. "The project was about disclosure and transparency," he said. "A low score means the state has lousy disclosure rules, it's not a commentary on the ethics of the judges."

I can get on line & visit various sites but having trouble w/email. When I go to open messages, I get a pop-up box that tells me Internet Explorer isn't working & a line moves across trying to find out what's wrong. Then I can close the box....also get a line at the bottom telling me that because of the problem, it's restarted the page (maybe refreshed)? Then it opens a new email for me....since I don't want to send 1, I close that & then go around in circles for awhile....can't forward a message, can't reply to 1....can only send a new one. Anyone got any suggestions? I re-started the computer.....also unplugged the modem....that wasn't helpful. DH had his detached, torn retina repaired yesterday (he's better at computers) but he's laying on his right side for the next few days, on drops & the house is dark....few, if any lights on, drapes & shades pulled down...so he's off the computer for awhile but I'd like to be able to use email without all the repeated attempts.
Are you using Gmail? I had the exact same problem, switched to Google Chrome (free to download from Google) and no more problem.
I wish I could be of help..but like Debbie said, I too use Google Chrome so not for sure what to tell you. Have you tried updating IE?? Is there a newer version out that maybe you could try?
I hope you get it fixed!
Thanks for the input....sure it'll get straightened out eventually. DH is usually in charge of the computer when it acts up....he worked w/computers more than I did & it much more detailed & calm about going thru picky steps & he talks the language. When I call for tech help, they usually use terms that I'm not sure about. I have the feeling that the techs probably got their jobs because they love solving computer problems....then they find themselves dealing w/folks like me that don't understand what they're talking about or can't answer their questions about what they're using....I get the basics right....then I'm in over my head. The box just says IE has stopped working but it's sort of working....just not at all well. I'm not using gmail....got sbcglobal as the provider. Not too long ago, they switched to a new improved system...things haven't been great since then.
step 1: use IE to download ANY different browser.
step 2: delete IE and use that other browser.
I loved IE right up until I couldn't post pictures correctly here and had problems at other sites. Started using Mozilla and all the problems stopped, plus it would remember passwords and stuff for me unlike IE which would always ask 'want to remember the password to this site?' and I'd click yes but it would never remember...
I'm not psycho.....I just like psychotic things.
Adria's World
step 1: use IE to download ANY different browser.
step 2: delete IE and use that other browser.
LOL!! So true! Every time we get a new computer..that's the first thing I do, once I get it up and running on the internet. I wish it were mandatory for all IE users, to install a different browser, use it for 3 days..I bet 98% of those people would never use IE again. People just don't realize just how slow IE is, until they try out another browser.
I can not use I/E on this computer....don't know why....I will have my soninlaw look at it in afew months AND I have deleted and re-installed but it just will NOT work...keep getting an error message and a question asking if i want to send a report...which it will NOT DO as it's not working right....DUH...I have google chrome and mozilla and use google the most...
on my laptop...I can use I/E, but choose not to.....
It's not how you start, it's how you end....so end strong!!
Walk yourself strong!!
Thanks for all the suggestions. I should of followed my own usual advise....check w/google. I found some directions for when IE stops. Good news, I'm not having problems w/the email program any more. Bad news, can't find the tool bar...I'm sure I'll click around some more & find it....or lose some more stuff....we'll see. Once DH's out of the position of keeping his head down on the right side....he'll probably look at it. We'll see how much vision is restored from the reattachment of the retina.
I can't recall exactly why or how, but I accidentally installed Google Chrome several months back and I just never got around to uninstalling it. I'm glad I didn't, there have been occasions IE won't work, or I get goofy messages, so I just switch over to GC and I'm a happy camper.
Hope things get worked out Lynn...and my only suggestion was going to be to Google it, (I can't count how many times it's helped me solve a computer problem) but you're a step ahead of me!
Ezra saw conspiracies.
He lived his life camped out on the grassy knoll.
Still haven't found the tool bar & now I have some stranger showing up in a pop-up box that wants me to reject or accept them....just close the box but never had that before. Every day it's a new quirk.
Have you tried the ALT key? the F11 key? Clicked anywhere along the area where the tool bar would normally be? These are the only ways I know of to get it back.
We'll light up the sky, we'll open up the clouds, 'cause baby tonight, we're beautiful now.
The ALT key worked but only temporarily to begin with but I managed to lock it in after a few more clicks. Great tip. Thanks!

Subject KISS
I don't profess to have the answer, but at least for my own photography, I have a hint. I'm using as an example these two photos with the simple topic, fall color. When it comes to telling the story and keeping it simple, quantity comes into play. Quantity comes in many flavors, quantity as in percentage of area and quantity as in sheer numbers. We can use either one of these by themselves or in combination but that danger is the lack of or over use of the subject. And I think the answer I like to use in solving this question is your imagination. I think that the more we can tap into the viewer's imagination, the less we can have of the subject and still smack them between the eyes with the subject. The more the imagination, the more the storytelling takes over. Both photos were taken D4 / 58f1.4AFS so they are "normal" and they both have the same subject. But they both have different quantity. Which brings the subject to life? It's for you to answer in your own photos.

Roland Burris to Be Sworn In as Senator on Thursday
Susan Davis reports on Congress.
Once embattled and now embraced, Illinois Senate nominee Roland Burris will be sworn in to the chamber on Thursday at 2 p.m. ET by Vice President Dick Cheney, acting in his role as president of the Senate.
Following the swearing-in, Burris's senior colleague, Illinois Sen. Richard Durbin will host a private reception for Burris. Durbin and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid initially fought Burris's nomination by scandal-tainted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, but relented after a state supreme court decision and Senate lawyers agreed with Burris's claim to be a rightful nominee, despite Blagojevich's legal problems.
Burris will take President-elect Barack Obama's Senate seat for the remaining two years of his term. Burris has indicated that he could run for re-election in 2010.

This is what Olivier Vernon said after his bad ending to the Dolphins' inexcusable Sunday. This is what Vernon said about shoving Jacksonville tight end Clay Harbor after a play to draw a penalty and gift-wrap Jacksonville's winning field goal.
"Just a dumb penalty by me," he said. "That was it. We lost. That's the end of it."
If only it was the end of anything. If only that kind of play didn't just expose this as a frustrated team, but a dumb one in Sunday's 23-20 loss as well. When the Dolphins talked of doing something they hadn't in decades, did anyone think it would be getting 13 penalties in a game?
But then Sunday continued this early...

Even With Pullback, Russia Holds Huge Financial Sway Over Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin may be toning down his rhetoric toward Ukraine, but he still holds potent financial levers to keep Kiev from turning westward.
First, Moscow can use the price it charges for natural gas supplies Ukraine relies on to fuel its economy, a power that gives it unprecedented to make or break the country's finances. Ukraine's turn to the West coincides with an escalation in the price dispute. The more Kiev looks to Europe as its future trade partner, the higher the natural gas bills seem to head.
Second, Moscow may be able to use a special clause in the $3 billion in Ukrainian bonds Russia bought in December to trigger a system-wide debt meltdown, says a Georgetown University law professor and debt expert Anna Gelpern. That financial nuclear option could pressure Ukraine's new pro-West government from embracing a full-fledged European integration and a turn away from its former Soviet masters.
Ukraine's newly-elected President Petro Poroshenko has already asked his European counterparts for more time to commit to a major economic and deal with the European Union.
Financial levers are part of the broader battle being waged over Ukraine, says Jacob Kirkegaard, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Mr. Putin not only wants the country's strategic assets such as the Black Sea naval port in Crimea, but he also wants Ukraine to be part of a Eurasian trade bloc and to prevent the country from becoming another member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, analysts say.
The country is in a particularly precarious economic position, even with an International Monetary Fund bailout.
The financial lifeline is already one of the IMF's riskiest emergency loans. Just a day after the fund approved a $17 billion bailout for Ukraine in late April, IMF brass warned a bigger bailout than currently planned might be necessary, given the political turmoil the new leadership faces. Those risks are underscored as government forces continue to clash with militant separatists.
Some economists warn that a restructuring shouldn't be ruled out and wonder if Ukraine is the new Greece, which received a record-sized bailout that eventually led to the biggest private debt restructuring in modern history.
"We see the IMF's growth forecasts for Ukraine and Greece not as forecasts at all, but rather as assumptions necessary to justify the IMF's interventions," say Benn Steil and Dinah Walker in a Council on Foreign Relations blog post.
In fact, the natural gas price problem is such a problem that the IMF wouldn't be able to lend to the country under its rules if it didn't keep the country's 100%-state owned Naftogaz company off the federal balance sheets because of the debt the firm owes to Russia's Gazprom. The IMF calls those debts "quasi-fiscal losses," a technical move that also prevents the IMF from requiring a debt restructuring.
Although the IMF has no idea the extent of Naftogaz's obligations to Russia's Gazprom because it's not allowed to see the contracts, the fund assumes only $2.2 billion in Naftogaz arrears to the gas giant and a natural gas price of $385 per thousand cubic meters. That's mid-range in the price dispute and at the low end of the arrears Moscow alleges that Kiev owes.
"A slightly higher or lower price would be handled through an adjustment to IMF financing, but a significantly higher price for gas would outstrip Western financing and raise serious concerns about fiscal and debt sustainability," says Robert Kahn, an international economics fellow also at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Meanwhile, Ukraine's Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said the country "won't pay the high political price" on the table to keep Russian natural gas flowing into his country, nor will it pay Gazprom its arrears until a new price is agreed. Those gas arrears, says Ms. Gelpern, who's also a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute, gives Moscow additional leverage over Kiev.
A small, unusual clause in the $3 billion in bonds Moscow bought as part of its ditched effort to prop up the former pro-Russian government in December gives the Kremlin power to destabilize Ukraine's debt markets and boosts its bargaining power in the current political conflict, Ms. Gelpern said.
The Russian bond allows cross-defaults to "any indebtedness … owed to the Noteholder or to any entity controlled or majority-owned by the Noteholder," the bond prospectus reads.
That clause, she argues, allows the bondholder to call the debt in default if Ukraine has any other debt unpaid, such as the Naftogaz arrears.
It's an open question whether a court would uphold such a reading.
But in the meantime, other holders of Ukrainian debt would be forced to decide whether to also call the debt in default, and the uncertainty created by the act would potentially send the country's borrowing costs rocketing to unsustainably high levels.

Repairing Ayutthaya's Ancient Temples
The famed temples in Thailand's ancient city of Ayutthaya were the country's most prominent tourist sites to be hit during recent severe flooding. The water has now largely drained from the area, and most of the structures are open to visitors. But efforts to assess the damage and begin needed repairs have only just begun.
Ayutthaya's spired temples and its various crumbling buildings have been a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1991–and the area is a big draw for foreign tourists, who typically travel the 80 kilometers north from Bangkok to take in its picturesque ruins.
Tourism officials have said, however, that the flooding around Ayutthaya could cost some $192 million in damages and lost income. Other estimates say damages alone at the temple complex could amount to $20 million.
Ayutthaya was the capital of the Siamese kingdom from the 14th through the 18th centuries, before the kingdom moved its capital to Bangkok after Ayutthaya was sacked by the Burmese. The area has enormous cultural value for Thailand, as it represents the country's architectural heritage and bygone glory.
Most of the temples sit on an island formed by three surrounding rivers, and floodwaters up to three meters high swamped more than 100 of the area's monuments — some of them for a month — during the worst of the flooding.
More In flooding
Photos showed people traveling from temple to temple in boats, with murky waters lapping against some structures' brick foundations and inundating some of the ruins. The exteriors of some temples still bear water marks from the floods.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand says some structures are being restored, but that most are fine, and that visitors have begun to return. One temple called Wat Chaiwatthanaram, however, has been especially hard hit, and remains closed.
A statement from the agency late Wednesday said that cleanup efforts are "largely completed," and that "most tourist attractions in Ayutthaya are now accessible." But the statement said the site would only "officially reopen" after inspections are undertaken.
Gun Puntuhong, a tourism agency official, told Southeast Asia Real Time via email that a TAT-organized cleanup effort–the first of several–is scheduled for Sunday, when "we will be cleaning, sweeping, collecting garbage and whatever we can do to bring back the beauty of Ayutthaya."
While access to the structures seems to be unimpeded, some temples remain flooded, and parts of the surrounding area are still muddy and debris-ridden. Some accounts have suggested that some temples' stability may be compromised due to land subsidence, leading to safety concerns and the threat of structures sinking. Tourism-agency representatives did not answer questions about possible safety issues.
Meanwhile, Unesco and a team of representatives from Thailand, the U.S., Japan and Portugal on Tuesday began assessing the damage. In a statement, Timothy Curtis, head of the Culture Unit in the group's Bangkok office, said that the extent of the damage in Ayutthaya is unclear.
He noted that the city's "original planners knew that it would be flooded," and that people in Ayutthaya "have been living with floods for centuries." Now, however, surrounding development has made flood waters harder to deal with, presumably by clogging canals and other drainage systems.
On Wednesday afternoon, Unesco said in a statement that cracks had been seen in two structures, while walls in other temples had collapsed.
A spokesperson at Unesco's Bangkok office told Southeast Asia Real Time that experts were expected to conclude their examination Friday, and that more details about potential damage and future cleanup efforts would be available soon.

Monday Roundup: Personal Finance & Credit News
1 Comment |
Retirees are struggling these days, even the ones who've been saving for retirement all their lives. Low interest rates have them in a bind, and threaten the earning potential of the rest of us looking towards retirement.
The Wall Street Journal reports that in January the average interest rate paid on accounts such as short-term savings accounts, time deposits, and money-market funds was 0.24%. That's one-tenth of what it was in the last quarter of 2007 and the lowest it's been on record since 1959.
Low rates are good news for consumers when it comes to credit, and can help stimulate the economy by encouraging more consumers to go for low-interest loans, mortgages, and credit cards. But when it comes to savings and retirement accounts, low interest rates are punishing those who are saving to secure their futures.
If you aren't currently, start saving for your retirement now. And take the following steps toward all-around financial health when it comes to your savings and debt.
- Make saving a priority. Treat putting money away for retirement like a bill, not a luxury, by setting up automatic withdrawals.
- Maximize your investments. If your employer offers to match your 401(k) contributions, make sure you're taking full advantage of that match. With your other investments, make sure you are monitoring your portfolio and making adjustments so that your money is working hard for your future.
- Get your debt under control. You may not be able to eliminate all of your debt now, but set up a plan, such as getting a balance transfer card or lowering your mortgage payments.
- Live within your means. Once you rid yourself of credit card debt, don't let it creep back into your life. Learn to say "no" to expenses you can't afford now, and budget in your necessary expenses.
Bottom line: You can't control how low or high the interest rates will be when you retire, but you can control how you save and prepare for your own future.
Today's Roundup will teach you that small financial sacrifices can lead to big achievements, how to recover your credit score after a foreclosure, how you can afford two-month vacations, and lots more.
Personal Finance News
- Small Financial Sacrifices For Big Achievements. My monthly rent just went from $1,500 per month to $350 per month. Yes, you read that right – I just started saving $1,150 on my rent each and every month! (Do I sound like a Geico insurance ad?) My Two Dollars
- How Misplaced Priorities Lead to Financial Excuses. I love it when people make excuses for why they are always too poor to pay their bills, or unable to afford certain things in life. What I find particularly funny is how it's always everybody's fault but their own. Len Penzo
- How I afford two-month vacations. Not so long ago, I took a winter trip to Rio de Janeiro during Carnival season. Instead of staying near a fashionable beach like Ipanema or a storied tourist district like Copacabana, I got a room in an inexpensive guesthouse in the slightly seedy Catete neighborhood. CNN Money
- Earning, Spending, and Saving: The Building Blocks of Personal Finance. If you spend more than you earn, you have a negative cash flow. You're losing wealth and in danger of going into debt. (Or, if you're already in debt, you're digging the hole deeper.) If you spend less than you earn, you have a positive cash flow, which will let you climb out of debt and build wealth. Get Rich Slowly
- 5 Money Making Activities You Can Do Today. Living below your means is the only way to long lasting wealth, but cutting expenses can only get you so far. At some point, earning a bit more money is just the ticket to a much merrier financial picture and best of all, some of these ideas are actually not that hard. Wise Bread
Credit Report & Credit Score News
- Do You Understand Your Credit Score? Talk about credit scores seems to be everywhere – it's on the ten o'clock news, your credit card company keeps asking you to sign up for credit monitoring, and a young man with shaggy hair and a guitar is always popping up on your TV whining about driving a used subcompact. SF Gate
- Use care, common sense to prevent identity theft. That's where credit reports come in handy because they display every account in your name — every credit card, auto loan, mortgage and bank account. Silicon Valley Mercury News
- Credit Score Recovery Time After a Foreclosure. Wondering how long it will take your credit score to recover from a home foreclosure or short sale? That depends on how good your credit was in the first place. The New York Times

I think number is the most important. Saving is difficult for people so treating it like a bill is really the best way to put money aside.J at 11:12 am on April 15, 2011

Democratic Forum
Targets Worker Issues
The AFL-CIO Working Families Presidential Forum will be broadcast live by C-SPAN beginning at 8 p.m. EDT. The forum features questions from working men and women on critical issues, Earlier this summer, the nine Democrats seeking the White House and President Bush were invited to answer a detailed AFL-CIO questionnaire on working family issues.
Seven of the nine Democrats responded to the request, Bush did not respond to the questionnaire and declined an invitation to appear before the AFL-CIO's Executive Council meeting this week or at any other time this summer in the nation's capital. The presidential forum is being held in conjunction with the Council session. The candidate's answers to the questionnaire may be found at www.aflcio.org/candidates2004.
President Tom
Buffenbarger represents the IAM at the Council sessions, which will
examine legislative strategy and priorities, organizing initiatives and
campaigns, mobilization efforts for next year's elections and ways to
boost the economy and create jobs.
FAA Bill Jeopardizes
Jobs and Security
"The bill was created by Republican House and Senate leaders without any debate or on-the-record vote," said IAM General Vice President Robert Roach, Jr. "This compromise bill contains items that were already defeated in both House and Senate versions of the bill."
Provisions of the bill include: privatization of our nation's air traffic control system; making airline anti-terrorism training for cabin crew members voluntary; and allowing foreign cargo airlines to service point-to-point markets within the United States.
"It is absurd to allow airlines to opt out of training Flight Attendants to deal with terrorists while the government is issuing warnings that additional hijackings may occur," said Roach. "It is an unfortunate fact that unless airlines are mandated to take action regarding security, they too often won't act. This country cannot afford another 9-11."
"Permitting foreign airlines to operate within the United States threatens every airline job in this country," said Roach. "Foreign airlines are often supported by their governments, and allowing them this unprecedented access would severely damage an already crumbling U.S. airline industry."
IAM members are being asked to contact Congress and demand
the FAA reauthorization bill either be fixed or defeated. To send a
message to your legislators, go to the "Action Alert" section of
www.goiam.org or click on this link:
"Tell Congress to Fix FAA Reauthorization Bill."
Senate Endorses Unfair
Trade Deals
NAFTA cost U.S. workers more than 500,000 jobs since its passage in 1994, according to studies by the Economic Policy Institute. Although those jobs went to Mexico, the decent wages and benefits they offered got lost in transit. Mexico's wages have dropped since that warped trade pact took effect.
Working families continue to oppose any similar trade legislation, including the Free Trade Area of Americas (FTAA), which would expand NAFTA throughout the Western Hemisphere. Worker activists are signing unofficial ballots showing their opposition to the trade deals and sending them to trade ministers who will meet in Miami later this year to discuss FTAA.

Mount Isa, mining city, Queensland, Australia, located at the northern end of the Selwyn Range. The city's name is attributed to John Campbell Miles, who in 1923 discovered deposits of silver-lead ore and named one of his leases after his sister Isabelle. Subsequently, Mount Isa Mines, Ltd., the principal leaseholder, developed the minefields, which are Australia's main source of silver, lead, zinc, and copper. In the early 1970s large silver, lead, and zinc deposits found at Hilton, about 20 miles (32 km) north of Mount Isa, made Mount Isa Mines, Ltd. the world's largest single producer of silver, lead, and zinc. Cattle are raised in the area, and there is an annual rodeo held there. Lake Moondarra nearby was formed in 1958 by damming the Leichhardt River. Pop. (2006) local government area, 19,664.
