Carl Icahn Seeks PayPal Split in eBay Breakup
Updated from 5:03 p.m. ET to clarify Icahn holdings and eBay response to PayPal proposal.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Activist investor Carl Icahn has taken a large stake in eBay (EBAY) and is calling for the company to spin off its highly successful payments division, PayPal.
EBay said in a fourth-quarter earnings release that Icahn has nominated two of his employees to the company's board of directors and submitted a non-binding proposal for the spinoff, which would seek to split PayPal off from eBay's online marketplace businesses, which also include ticket re-seller StubHub and fulfillment specialist GSI Commerce.
San Jose-based eBay said Icahn's appointments would be passed onto a nominating committee of the company's board of directors. EBay also disclosed that it has already explored a spinoff or separation of PayPal in an "in depth" manner. Those assessments, however, led the company to believe it was in the best interest of shareholders to keep PayPal intertwined with the larger company.
"Regarding Mr. Icahn's separation proposal, eBay's Board of Directors routinely assesses the company's strategic direction and has explored in depth a spinoff or separation of PayPal," the company said."eBay's Board of Directors has concluded that the company and its shareholders are best served by the current strategic direction of the company and does not believe that breaking up the company is the best way to maximize shareholder value. As part of eBay Inc., PayPal is able to leverage the company's technology capabilities, commerce platforms and relationships with retailers, brands and large merchants worldwide," the company added.
Despite previously deciding against a split of PayPal, eBay said it "welcomes the opportunity to listen to the perspective of all of its shareholders, including Mr. Icahn."
According to eBay, Icahn holds an interest in the company's shares of approximately 0.82% through common stock and derivative holdings. Without knowing the mix of shares versus swaps or options that Icahn has purchased it is hard to know Icahn's direct holding of eBay shares. Icahn Enterprises, the holding company majority-owned by Carl Icahn, didn't make any public filings on Wednesday disclosing the size of its eBay investment.
EBay's Savvy Bet on PayPal PayPal is a bit of a legend in Silicon Valley and has acted as a springboard for the careers of luminaries like Peter Thiel of Accel Partners and Elon Musk, the current CEO of Tesla (TSLA), SolarCity (SCTY) and Space-X. The company went public in February 2002, and was acquired by eBay later that year for $1.5 billion.
In recent years, PayPal has been ballast for eBay's earnings as the company's online marketplace business has struggled. Total revenue for PayPal came in at over $1.8 billion in the fourth quarter and in excess of $6 billion for the full year.
EBay, while often criticized for its slow-changing online marketplace, has spent recent years seeking to replicate smart acquisitions like PayPal. The company has made what appear to be savvy bets on the sports and entertainment market through its acquisition of StubHub and on the logistics that are needed to run a competitive online retail operation through GSI Commerce.
Increasingly, eBay's online marketplace appears to be trying to compete against Amazon (AMZN) in offering same day delivery in some major metropolitan areas. In fourth-quarter earnings released on Wednesday, eBay reported revenue of $4.53 billion and adjusted earnings per share of 81 cents. EBay shares have under-performed the S&P 500 in the past 12-months, gaining less than 1% versus an over 20% gain by the broader index. Shares in eBay surged as much as 10% in after-market trading on the company's disclosure of Icahn's proxy campaign.
Icahn Sets his Gaze on Technology Icahn, for his part, has been an active activist investor in the past year. On Wednesday alone, Icahn continued to tangle with iPhone maker Apple (AAPL), disclosing that he has increased his holding in the company's shares to roughly $3 billion and will continue to pursue a more aggressive buyback strategy. "We feel $APPL board is doing great disservice to shareholders by not having markedly increased its buyback. In-depth letter to follow soon," Icahn said on Twitter on Wednesday. Icahn Enterprises, the holding company that Mr. Icahn controls, has been an active issuer of stock and debt in the past three months, possibly as a means to throttle up his investment in operating subsidiaries and his activist investments in publicly traded companies such as eBay and Apple. Increasingly, it appears Icahn, 77, is gaining comfort in taking on the biggest names in the tech sector. Icahn played a pivotal role in trying to block Dell's leveraged buyout by Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners. Prior to that, the activist played a crucial role in the breakup of Motorola and the sale of its handset unit, Motorola Mobility, to Google (GOOG). -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York

World Markets Like Greece, China News
The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage.
NEW YORK ( BBH FX Strategy) -- The combination of a 50-basis-point cut in China's required reserve ratios and anticipation that the European finance ministers will sign off on the second aid package for Greece has lifted equity markets and most non-dollar currencies.
The MSCI Asia-Pacific Index rose 0.8%. Hong Kong' Hang Seng Index was the lone exception in Asia, slipping 0.3%.
Higher-than-expected inflation (6.1% vs. the consensus of 5.8%) may have played a role, but losses were widespread, led by oil and gas (-2.2% consumer services (-1.9%) and technology (-1.85).> > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll European bourses are higher with the Dow Jones 600 up 0.8% near midday in London. Basic materials, industrials and financials are leading the advance. U.S. and Canadian markets are closed, but the key event today is the European finance ministers' meeting. There are still a number of issues that need to be worked out, including the mechanisms for surveillance of the implementation. Talk continues about the establishment of an escrow-like account. In addition, the interest rate on the European Union/International Monetary Fund aid may be further cut. It had begun near 5% and had been cut last year to 4%. Another cut, especially if retroactively applied, could further reduce projected debt-to-GDP ratios. Oil prices are rising on news that Iran will halt crude exports to France and the U.K. Combined, the two countries absorb about 3% of Iranian's oil sales. European crude and product inventories are estimated at 120 days of consumption. The euro has been range-bound for several weeks. Last week it tested the bottom end of the range at $1.2980-$1.3000, and it largely held. By the rule of alternation, it is now poised to test the upper end of the range, seen in the $1.3300-1.3320 area. The pound has also recovered smartly off last week's low near $1.5645. The $1.5930 area marks the last high, but the more important cap is seen around $1.60. The yen is consolidating last week's sharp losses, following the Bank of Japan's unexpected 10 trillion yen in new Japanese government bond purchases announced on Feb. 14.

Paolo Gabriele, the Pope's former butler who was released from prison just before Christmas, has a new job working for an extension of the Vatican hospital Bambino Gesu.
According to the German Catholic agency KNA, Gabriele has been offered a job doing clerical work for a new branch of the hospital near the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls. He will also receive assistance with housing, since his wife and three children must move out of their current Vatican apartment.
The new extension of the hospital was opened on Sept. 10, 2012 and focuses on outpatient care for children. In early 2013 it will include a research center dedicated to pediatric diseases and illnesses.
The former butler was sentenced Oct. 6, 2012 to 18 months in prison for leaking sensitive papal documents to the media.
In an Oct. 26 Vatican communiqué, the Holy See summed up the damage caused by Gabriele by saying that a "personal offense was done to the Holy Father" and "the right to privacy of the many people who…addressed themselves to him was violated."
But on Dec. 22, Pope Benedict visited his former aide in prison to forgive him and pardon him for his crime.
Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi told journalists that the Pope's visit was "a paternal gesture towards a person with whom the Pope shared a relationship of daily familiarity for many years."
When Italian police officers searched Gabriele's apartment May 23, following the publication of several confidential letters in Italian journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi's book "Your Holiness," they discovered approximately 1,000 incriminating documents and 82 boxes of evidence.
During the week-long trial, the judges heard how Gabriele stole copies of confidential documents from the Papal Apartments. These included personal documents sent between the Pope and various cardinals, encrypted communications from papal ambassadors across the world, and some papers marked by the Pope with "to be destroyed" in German.

Pfizer's $11.85B Deal a Baby Step in Drugs Refocusing (Update 1)
The asset sale and IPO -- Bloomberg data show they took in $6.3 billion in revenue -- could mark a wider breakup effort by Read, who has spoken about Pfizer's re-commitment to its drug research and development as some of the company's key drugs, led by Lipitor, go generic.
Pfizer shares were down less than 1% to $22.56 in pre-market trading. While a year-to-date share rise of just over 4% has underperformed the S&P 500, Pfizer's 18%-plus gain in the last six months has outperformed markets, fueled by the divestiture plans.
In a March meeting, Goldman Sachs analyst Jami Rubin wrote in a report that Read hinted at a multi-year breakup of Pfizer far beyond his previously announced divestiture plans. Health care giants Abbott Laboratories (ABT) and Covidien (COV) have been pursuing multi-billion spinoff plans since last year.
"We recently met with PFE's CEO Ian Read, who expressed an openness to going further with separations beyond Animal Health and Nutrition if the conditions make sense... This, coupled with the CEO's openness to consider unlocking further value, could create an attractive situation with significant upside," wrote Rubin of the meeting in a March 27 note to clients.If Pfizer were to undergo a full breakup, Rubin expects it to occur in three parts, with the sale of the company's animal health and nutrition units as just the first step. In a split, Pfizer would be more focused on its growth-oriented pharmaceuticals business and a stable generics business, argued Rubin, who sees the moves netting Pfizer 18 cents a share in EPS. After those divestitures, a second step would then be a rationalization of Pfizer's organizational structure after the disposals, with efficiency efforts likely to wrench out a $26 a share stock value that puts Pfizer on Goldman Sachs' "America's conviction buy list." The final step, a full split of Pfizer's drugs businesses, could come in two to three years' time, with the possibility that the moves drive $5.7 billion in additional sales, adding 93 cents to earnings per share, according to Rubin.

Mathias Ranegie says he will leave Watford should Troy Deeney still be there at the start of the season.
The 30-year-old striker made 10 appearances for the Hornets last season, bagging four goals, but says the Hornets will help him find a new club should they retain the services of their star man.
Deeney, who scored 24 goals last term, has been linked to a number of Premier League clubs and Ranegie claims he will be the club's first choice to fill his boots if the 25-year-old leaves.
He told Swedish newspaper Sports Expressen: "It all depends on the situation.
"The status is if Troy Deeney is sold, I am his replacement. Otherwise the club has agreed to find me a new club."
The Sweden international signed in January on a three-and-a-half year deal after a relatively unsuccessful spell with Udinese having previously plied his trade in Sweden and briefly in the Netherlands.

Automated OSD Lookup and Display via SoilWeb and AQP
Submitted by dylan on Thu, 2012-11-08 00:06.
I have been thinking about a URL-based interface to basic Official Soil Series Description (OSD) data for a while now... something that when fed a URL, would return CSV-formatted records to the calling process. These type of interfaces can later be used to support more complicated systems, such as our smartphone interface to SoilWeb. URLs can be accessed like files in R, making it possible to do something like this:

AQP / soilDB Demo: Dueling Dendrograms
Submitted by dylan on Wed, 2012-03-14 21:55.
Previously, soil profile comparison methods from the aqp package only took into account horizon-level attributes. As of last week the profile_compare() function can now accommodate horizon and site-level attributes. In other words, it is now possible to compute pair-wise dissimilarity between soil profiles using a combination of horizon-level properties (soil texture, pH, color, etc.) and site-level properties (surface slope, vegetation, soil taxonomy, etc.)-- continuous, categorical, or boolean.
An example is presented below which is based on the loafercreek sample data set included with the soilDB package. Be sure to use the latest version of soilDB, 0.5-5 or later. Dissimilarity matrices created from horizon and site+horizon data are compared by placing their respective dendrograms back-to-back. Code from the ape package is used to facilitate dendrogram plotting, manipulation, and indexing. Blue line segments connect matching nodes from each dendrogram. Soil profiles with paralithic contact are marked with orange squares for clarity.

Logistic Power Peak (LPP) Simulated Soil Profiles
Submitted by dylan on Sat, 2011-11-12 21:01.
A friend of mine recently published a very interesting article on the pedologic interpretation of asymetric peak functions fit to soil profile data (Myers et al., 2011). I won't bother summarizing or paraphrasing the article here, as the original article is very accessible, rather I thought I would share some new functionality in AQP that was inspired by the article. While reading the article I thought that it would be interesting to use one of these peak functions, the logistic power peak (LPP) function, to simulate soil property depth-functions. Simulated values could be used to evaluate new algorithms with a set of tightly controlled properties that vary with depth. One of the nice aspects of these peak functions is that they can create a wide range of shapes that mimic common anisotropic depth-functions associated with pedogenic processes such as illuviation, ferrolysis, or seasonal fluctuation of groundwater levels. An example R session demonstrating the use of LPP-simulated soil property depth-functions is presented below.

Combining Base+Grid Graphics
Submitted by dylan on Tue, 2011-10-04 17:48.
R provides several frameworks for composing figures. Base graphics is the simplest, grid is more advanced, and the lattice/ggplot packages provide convenient abstractions of the grid graphics system. Multi-element figures can be readily created in base graphics using either par() or layout(), with analogous functions available in grid. Mixing the two systems is a little more complicated, somewhat fragile, but entirely possible.
I recently needed to combine base+grid graphics on a single page; two sets of base graphics on the left, and the output from xyplot() (grid) on the right. Following some tips from Paul Murrell posted on r-help, the solution was fairly simple. A truncated example of the processes is listed below, corresponding to the attached figure. While the result was "good enough" for a quick summary, there are clearly some improvements that would make figure more useful.

What would a 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile soil profile look like?
Submitted by dylan on Wed, 2010-08-11 20:38.
I have mentioned the AQP package in previous entries. One of the functions in this package generates aggregate soil profile data, from a collection of soil profiles that are related by some factor: common lithology, common landscape position, and so on. Typically the mean, or median (50th percentile) is used to generate a new aggregate profile, that is representative of the original collection. Extending this idea, I thought that it would be interesting to generate aggregate profiles that are representative of the 25th and 75th percentiles as well. For the sake of clarity, lets call these three new profiles (25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles) Q25, Q50, and Q75. A 10 cm slicing interval was used as the basis upon which soil properties were aggregated.

Waste No Food is a registered nonprofit that provides a web-based "marketplace" allowing excess food to be donated from the food service industry to qualified charities that work with the needy. One-third of all food is wasted, from farms, restaurants and grocery stores. Yet there has been no efficient way for groups that have excess food to donate to the millions of hungry Californians and Americans. Waste No Food is that medium. Donors who wish to donate their excess food can sign up and post excess food as it becomes available. Qualified charities in the vicinity of the donors who have been vetted by Waste No Food, can claim the food. The charities are responsible for transportation and food handling.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

This is the hardest thing I've ever made. It's Vogue pattern V1108, is made with silk taffeta, is boned, lined, interfaced, and has a foundation inside it. There is a total of five different fabrics in it to make all the different parts. Because the front and back are gathered into pleats, the pattern pieces were curved and a bit complicated to cut out. It closes with an invisible zipper at the side and hook and eye closures on the right shoulder. I actually made a stupid mistake when I started this pattern – I pinned the pattern pieces on the wrong side of the fabric! It wasn't a problem, though, because it just meant I mirrored the original pattern, so my bow and gathers are on the right rather than on the left like the original pattern. Silly mistake to make, but doesn't really matter for the final dress.
I bought the fabric first, late last year. My cousin was getting married, so I decided I'd use this fabric and make something to wear using this fabric. Given the fabric is taffeta I needed to find a pattern that was more structured and needed a slightly stiffer fabric. I found this Vogue pattern looking online and thought it was perfect. When I opened it up and read the instructions I was a lot daunted because of how long and detailed the instructions were, but I did have a month to get it made (still took most of the month to do!). It took a lot of work, but wasn't as bad to make as I'd worried. I don't know that I'll use boning again any time soon, but I do like the effect it has in this dress. Although with the boning, fitted skirt, and off the shoulder neckline, this isn't a dress for moving around a lot in!
The photos are a bit shiny because they were taken in the late afternoon with the sun low to the horizon and taffeta is shiny anyway. The last close up photo of the inside shows the colour of the fabric a bit more clearly.

Welcome to the KB Knight Foundation!
The KB Knight Foundation was formed to be a non-profit charity and community service organization. The intention of our foundation and what we have to offer will be discussed in the body of our website.
Life has unexpected events and situations that occur that could result in people being unable to pay for living expenses in these tough economic times. It may not have anything to do with the character or the position of that person or family. Many people in today's economy are one paycheck away from being homeless. Our mission is to support the less fortunate in our society, namely individuals and families that have not been given proper help. There needs to be a collective effort to assist people who have serious issues. Some people may have substance abuse problems, some have become homeless due to job loss, senior citizens may need help and others may just be victims of circumstances. Each individual or family has a different story or situation.
Senior citizens in particular are currently having many problems handling everyday living expenses. Some elderly people have had the good fortune of having good careers and pensions that help them live comfortably in retirement. Other elderly have only one source of income. There is a need for programs and resources for these elderly people. It is a shame that some senior citizens do not even have the resources to pay for their prescriptions. Current programs in place to help these people have long waiting periods and are not effective for seniors who need immediate help. Some elderly are having problems such as difficulty making home or car repairs. Others are having their homes foreclosed on because of their lack of financial resources. The mission of the KB Knight Foundation is to help all of the people outlined above.
There are lazy and not hard-working individuals that are responsible for the positions that they are in. Perhaps with a little personal attention, these people might change and become more productive if motivated by the right people. We cannot assist and help everybody, but the individuals that can listen to inspiration and guidance can make complete changes in their lives. It is our civic responsibility to be concerned about all of these individuals or families. The care and compassion should always be there for others. When we have care and concern for the welfare of others, then we will be rewarded by God for that.
The KB Knight Foundation has recognized these serious issues in our country and we plan to do something about it! We hope that we will raise awareness to this epidemic and people will assist us in our endeavors.

Jim Cramer's Best Blogs
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Jim Cramer fills his blog on RealMoney every day with his up-to-the-minute reactions to what's happening in the market and his legendary ahead-of-the-crowd ideas. This week he blogged on:
- how good news from two big banks slammed the shorts;
- why investors shouldn't bet against Dean Food in the long term; and
- why some dividend stocks can deceive.
Click here for information on RealMoney, where you can see all the blogs, including Jim Cramer's -- and reader comments -- in real time.
No Place to HidePosted at 6:28 p.m. EDT on Friday, July 13 One of the two, either JPMorgan Chase (JPM) or Wells Fargo (WFC), was supposed to screw up. At 6:15 a.m. EDT when JPMorgan first started dribbling out the news, of not just the losses we all expected, but a restatement of its first quarter, it looked like JPM would provide the weakness. But as we scrolled through it, the language looked uncannily like other language I have seen in my career when you catch something an employee did wrong after the quarter is reported. In other words, the restatement was the tell that CEO Jamie Dimon had gotten bad-faith data from his own people -- and fraud is hard to game. > > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll So, those who shorted on the restatement -- and there were many, because the before-hours volume was huge -- ended up having to cover when it turned out that there really was a rogue employee, and not a failure of oversight by Dimon. Then we saw at 7 a.m. that the quarterly numbers were better than expected and the losses quantified and contained. There was no bear case to speak of, at least down at $34, and the rest was history. So then we turned to Wells Fargo for some negativity and it, too, originally gave it to us, with some verbiage about expenses running too high. But we wanted to see revenue growth, Wells had it in spades. Management made it clear that the expense growth simply had to happen given the vast opportunities for lending. Put simply, it was a monster quarter. So, with no resistance from either, and yet with a hefty short base, we had the two biggest banks setting a tone that simply never quit. And any time it almost did, crazed coverers came in ahead of the good news out of China.

Why We Dig Birthday Girl Paris Jackson... In 15 Clicks
Michael Jackson's daughter turns 15 today and she's proving to be a role model for her late superstar father's millions of fans.
"Ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine," she said, fighting back tears as relatives consoled her.
Today, Paris turns 15 years old and despite enduring a childhood in the spotlight, where she often had to wear a mask when out in public, she is firmly establishing her own identity.
Like every teen chameleon, Paris loves changing her style -- and hair color -- to fit her every mood.
Recently, she showed that despite her privileged upbringing, she was just like any other high schooler when she was photographed doing a dance routine on the basketball court in her cheerleading uniform.
And the social savvy trendsetter -- who has over 1 million followers on Twitter -- enjoys talking about everything from her brothers to her hobbies and life experiences.Prince Michael, 16, and Blanket, 10, was born through surrogate mom Debbie Rowe.
After Michael Jackson died of an overdose in 2009 both she and her siblings were put under the permanent guardianship of her grandmother Katherine Jackson, who's raising them with her cousin TJ Jackson.
Currently a pupil at a swanky private Los Angeles High School Paris has transformed into a lively teenage girl who loves grunge music and rock 'n' roll.
Click through the gallery above to find out what we love about the birthday girl.
Then tell us what you think – do you dig Paris Jackson too ? Leave your comments below.

Salty and Sassy: The Country's Best Margarita Bars
Want a fun drink that can be personalized with ease, but still remains a classic? Look no further. Mixologists across the U.S. are crafting fantastic margaritas with hand-squeezed citrus, carefully selected tequila or mezcal, and refreshing additions like cucumbers, jalapeños, grapefruit, and star anise. Here, Food and Wine shares some of their picks for America's best margarita bars.
Want to make some margaritas at home? Check out these modern twists on the margarita or keep it classy with these magical margarita recipes.
Big Star; Chicago, IL
When Blackbird's Paul Kahan (a Food and Wine Best New Chef 1999) and Avec sous-chef Justin Large took over a beat-up bar in Wicker Park, they insisted it would be little more than a dive serving tacos. That was an understatement. Highlights of the supercool "honky tonk" taqueria include excellent pork-belly tacos and exceptional cocktails. The lightly smoky Big Star margarita made with Herradura Plata, San Luis mezcal, lime juice, and orange curacao is best sipped on the patio.

I feel like Jonathan Blow is addressing this stuff pretty well on his twitter. Journalists were just look for dumb quotes to put in their rushed to press stories about the XB1 self-publishing thing instead of seeking insight for intelligently written well thought out articles on the subject of self-publishing.
Yeah, it's nice for free designs and just checking out other towns/houses. Also you get 5000 bells a day for updating your suite, which isn't much but I'm a fan of free bells.

My dream address is: 4300 2179 6878
I can't imagine anything that makes those controllers special will be integrated into PC games any time close to launch, so there wouldn't be much of a material reason to invest the $60 if you already have a controller you're comfortable with. I think the 360 controller works perfectly well and I'm sure they'll keep making them as long as the 360 E is on the market.
Good job Alex. You and Patrick have been supplying some excellent reading material recently, keep it up!
I agree, spring for new head phones. I hate listening to computers.

Energy drinks and teens coming to ER with chest pain - page 2

- 1Aug 31, '12 by 2BRN123Quote from amoLucia120 is baby talk. Check this out:Just to follow up on my previous post --- googled again and the more I read again the more blown away I became!!!
I've long been caffeine-sensitive so I know what a simple can of caffeined diet pepsi (35 mgm/can as printed ON the can) does. Some of the energy drinks are 120 mgm and much, much more. I can see how folk start to motor-boat!! And sugar highs! Other amino-acids and herbs listed make those drinks scarey. Google articles describe the neuro, cardiac and renal effects etc.
ABB Speed Stack at Bodybuilding.com: Lowest Prices for Speed Stack
One of the best selling pre-work out energy drinks on the market. 250mg PER SERVING.
NOS products are up there... Fast Twitch.... all wildly popular pre-workout drinks packing 200+ per serving. We sell some powdered mixes at our gym that are upwards of 400.
I used to "enjoy" a 1/4 - 1/2 bottle of Fast Twitch before my workouts. Didn't make me feel to crazy if I drank alot of water along side. It honestly got to the point that I couldn't get up in the morning without drinking a pot of coffee (no joke, a pot). Thats when I decided to call it quits and oh were those withdraws miserable.
Its really shocking to me that people can just drink this stuff and then go about their daily lives, studying, going to work. Even after a 1/4 bottle of Fast Twitch and a 1.5 hour long grueling workout I would still have trouble sleeping.Last edit by 2BRN123 on Aug 31, '12
- 2Aug 31, '12 by GinaDecorRNOn our telemetry unit we have seen more than one case of A-fib in young people with energy drinks perhaps being the triggering factor. Scary.
- 6Aug 31, '12 by amoLuciato Leo - I'm getting tachycardic just reading the numbers :uhoh21:! Please, I really don't understand why someone would tach up (by drinking the stuff) pre - workout. Your HR goes up with exercise anyway, so why??? I'm sincere as I ask this...
You're talking to a confirmed, card-carrying couch potato so I really don't understand you exercise buffs.
- 4Sep 1, '12 by storm375Quote from amoLuciaFor me it's different. I have ADHD and when I drink a monster energy I swear it actually helps me focus instead of making me hyperJust did a quick google of energy drinks' ingredients---high high levels of caffeine and sugar also. B vitamins (think niacin) and various herbals (careful!) too. And a bunch of other things... No wonder they get all speeded up and bounce around!
Was talking caffeine beverages with some students once. Hadn't heard of Jolt soda and it wasn't sold in my area. One of the kids brought me in a can as I was a coffee-holic and I liked Mt Dew too. I was teaching and I do talk quickly at times. But all of sudden, I noticed a difference and asked the kids 'am I talking real fast'?!?! What a caffeine rush! I should have been paid by the word, not by the hour!!! Only had about 90 cc, but boy, did I feel it!!!Don't do much REGULAR caffeine anymore.
- 2Sep 1, '12 by PacoUSA, BSN, RNI am caffeine sensitive to begin with, and I never have more than one cup of regular coffee at a time (sometimes I even do 50 decaf/50 reg if I am not sure of the strength). I think one of those energy drinks might just throw me into eternal sinus tach! NEVER will ever try them!
- 7Sep 1, '12 by brainkandy87Actually had one of these come in tonight. Wasn't my patient, but told about her. Drank a 5 hour energy shot and a Monster, had resps of 60, pulse of like 130-140. I'm all for people being able to put whatever they want to in their bodies (I'm libertarian like that), but if we're going to dispense drinks that can have the same cardiovascular effects as amphetamines, I think we need to modify the age of the people we dispense it to. Kids shouldn't be shoving this crap in their bodies. You don't need "energy" when you're 16.
- 0Sep 1, '12 by KaeliFI'm a new ICU nurse, but some of the nurses I work with told me about a 19 year old girl who came into our ER with arrhythmias from drinking several Monster drinks a day. They coded her twice and she came to ICU with anoxic brain energy. She was discharged to a LTC facility :/ So sad.
oh my God that is horrible! She didn't have anything else going on? Like a congenital heart defect or something? It just doesn't seem like that could happen to a young healthy person just from drinking too many Monsters!Last edit by TheCommuter on Sep 1, '12 : Reason: added quotation blocks
- 0Sep 1, '12 by SHGR, MSN, RNQuote from KaeliFThat is what many people think. "It's all natural!"It just doesn't seem like that could happen to a young healthy person just from drinking too many Monsters!
However, nurses' collective anecdotal evidence shows otherwise. Have studies been done? Seems like the FDA believes the stuff is safe for all ages...
- 1Sep 1, '12 by timmedicoTeens have a BIG problem with these energy drinks. They see their friends chugging these massive cans of sugar and caffeine and think "Ohhhhh they are soooo cool! If I do that I'll be cool too". I'd never drink a can of death! Red Bull will indeed give you wings! The government should regulate this in some way...maybe a can that is in serving size portions (not a gargantuan amount that could kill a cow).

Oh Renee,
You have all the prayers from me you want. I will certainly keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. You have so much on your plate, and it seems like you always handle it so well. I personally don't know how you do it, but I really hope you and DH can find your way through this to what is best for you both and your children.
This autism stuff is really hard and it certainly takes its toll on couples. DH and I see that ourselves and have to work so hard and it is a constant struggle for us to make our marriage work, and truthfully, sometimes it doesn't anymore.
Be strong, but go ahead and cry some too.
Sending you hugs,

Dear Renee,
Didn't see this down here 'til right now. I am so sorry, that is very hard. Big hugs and prayers comin' to you from the Big Apple.
It is so hard being married, hard work all by itself, and we only have one child. Also, we both deal with depression, which makes being married and raising an unusual kid harder. With how hard we have to work, I can't even imagine how the 2 of you manage with 4 children and their challenges.
Therefore, as always, I am so your biggest fan. It has always sounded like you and your dh really love, like, respect and enjoy each other, so I am crossing my fingers for you both that you will find a way through this and back to each other.
|Thu, 09-15-2005 - 1:12pm
Thank you all for the support. One thing I have realized in the last couple days is I have more good friends than I thought both online and in real life that were really there for me when things got tough. For that I thank all of you.
I figure I will give you all the very basics instead of letting everyone guess and think the worst. Besides, since I am further in this journey of autism than many parents here, perhaps you can learn from our mistakes.
Naturally in a family with special needs kids things have been tough for a while. In addition to special needs kids, DH and I struggled financially for years, particularly when he was getting his masters. One thing was I had to work up until Dave was born which took me away from the kids and that was something that really was very hard on me and us. Another thing, since I wanted to be stay at home and couldn't we often worked opposite shifts so reduce day care as much as possible, meaning we never saw each other. This caused strife but due to a strong faith and the fact that we were first friends we made it through. But it was not dealt with and so problems build.
DH, I believe also struggles with his own issues and that has not been discussed or dealt with. I believe he has a number of Aspie traits that make life pretty tough but he has been able to manage, but I also think he has been struggling with depression for a while because of these traits. One of the things that bothers him most is difficulty having friends even at his age. He has online friends but few real friends. Somewhere along the line he decided he couldn't talk to me anymore, the one friend he had had. He instead turned to those on the internet. We moved cross country to be closer to his home when he was really dpressed back east. I was angry about leaving my family and home but did it for him in the hopes to make things better and it didn't.
About a year ago things came to a head I guess and he also began going through a midlife crisis. Lots of stuff went on with him that I didn't know about and he grew further away and began to change alot. Over all his mood was better but still there were things I couldn't reconcile. I misinterpretted this further away and change as an affair and I confronted him 2 days ago about it. There was no affair but he wasn't sure he still wanted to be married, etc.
We have decided to see a counselor. I am going to go see my own because despite what happens I have a home, household and kids to hold together. He has been nicer to me over the past couple days.
Maybe it is a good thing, maybe it isn't. Either way life couldn't go on status quo anymore so that is where things stand as of now. The thought of being a single parent of these 4 is very scary but it isn't easy to live with someone who is depressed and difficult to communicate with either.
In DH's defense, I haven't been easy to live with either. He is a good man which is how I can trust he hasn't had an affair and think it may work. but who knows, sometimes autism as a whole is a hard thing to live with.
|Thu, 09-15-2005 - 1:31pm
I only saw this now.
You and John are in my thoughs and prayers. I am so, so sorry you are goinn through this. Please let me know if thee is anything I can do. You know where to find me.
man, this sucks.
|Thu, 09-15-2005 - 1:43pm
Thanks paula.
You are sweet and I know where to find you. I will call soon.
I have truly been blessed with email, postive messages and even in town friends. Heck I have already been out to either breakfast or lunch 3 times in the past couple days if you count the lunch I am about to go to.
Heck it was our recent conversation that helped me accept that it is midlife crisis and not another. You have already helped.
|Fri, 09-16-2005 - 10:36am
Are you sure we aren't married to the same man? My DH did the same exact thing about a month ago. As I have said before I am sure he is AS and suffers from depression. But he refuses to get any kind of treatment for it. He has pulled away and shares things with online friends that he doesn't with me.He too told me he didn't want to be married and added that he never wanted kids.Please don't judge him-he loves his kids, he just can't deal with them because of his own issues. He hasn't had an affair-I asked and trust him-he is a good man.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and have some faith things will get better. I so respect you and your opinion.

Enter the world of "Construction Site," a special place beyond the fence where, through the antics and adventures of trucks and construction machines, children are exposed to important messages about the nature of learning, thinking, and behaving. Children learn along with Digs and his friends as they explore strategies and behaviors for learning and doing their best.
Diggs has a shiny new attachment and is very proud of it. That is until Bozer tells him it's needed on an important new job and Diggs realizes that he doesn't know what it does! / Diggs pleads with Bozer to let him wear some new, really fashionable treads. After tearing down an old warehouse, Bozer asks Diggs to check inside the old water cooler before Carl demolishes it.
When there's cement mix to be moved and Carrie's feeling fired up, nothing can stop her - nothing except a flat battery that is! / Carrie and Diggs are scouting for rivets for their collections when Bozer tells everyone that today's job is to clear out an old dock. While in the dock, Carrie spots a trunk full of rivets and greedily tries to pick the whole lot up with her forks.
Scooch would like a bit more space in the idle house but Diggs and Carrie aren't giving an inch. But when he is the first to take up residence in the new site building, it's Scooch that ends up allocating space. / The machines are stuck in the Idle House and wondering what to do, when they come up with the clever idea of telling stories.
Carl is preoccupied because he is missing the site where he was made. When he almost drops a sewer pipe on Diggs, the other machines decide to try and cheer him up. / Diggs is jealous when Scooch chooses to work with Carrie instead of him. In an attempt to win back his friend's allegiance, Diggs performs his best Carrie voice while silhouetted behind some tarpaulin.
When Diggs discovers that Bozer has accidentally dozed a load of gravel over some important bridge roads he faces a dilemma. / Bozer has gone off site and left Carl in charge. Something that always ends in total chaos...Carl even pleads with Bozer not to be left with the responsibility...but to no avail.
When the younger machines accidentally knock a load of oil drums in the dock they are too scared to own up to their mistake. They take Carl's hook to try retrieving them but things just get worse as the hook falls into the water. / The machines are laying out the site for a new park. When Diggs and Scooch see the plans they figure they can save Bozer some time and just get on with it themselves.
When Diggs saves Carl from a nasty accident, the older machines decide it's time he started hanging out with them. Even the chance to play with Carrie and Scooch can't distract Diggs from his proud new position! / One day as the younger machines play by the docks, Carl and Lug reflect on their own carefree youth. Lug decides that he's not ready for old age just yet.
When Lug tells Scooch that grading a road on your own is what every dumper dreams of, the little dump truck decides to do a bit of solo grading himself. / The new trucks are thrilled to learn that Dumper the Jumper is coming to town! But Scooch is even more thrilled to find out that Lug used to be a daredevil jumper too and his name was Long Leaping Lug.
When Diggs overhears Bozer talking to himself, it seems that their beloved boss is going to be leaving. What can the construction machines present him with as a farewell gift? / The machines are shocked to find that during the night the new multi storey car park they were building has been destroyed.
Carl has to knock a chimney down on the site today, giving him a chance to show why he is nominated for Crane Of The Year. But when, after 25 swings, he still hasn't hit it, he loses his confidence. / Due to a wall of ice, the machines are stuck on a slippery mountain road. So while Bozer and Lug set off to get salt grit, Carrie encourages the others to keep warm by performing a Parp Song Contest
Bozer gives Scooch the morning off so he'll be rested for a big job in the afternoon. But when the other machines ask for his help, his rest turns into helping everyone else! / It's time for the CCT (Construction Certificate Test) and all the machines are very excited. Well, everyone except Carrie whose convinced that the rattle she seems to have developed will scupper her chances of passing.
Diggs, Carrie and Scooch are tired of the old machines always telling them what to do. So when Bozer gives them a whole job to complete all on their own, at first they're sure they can see it through. / Bozer tells the machines that its 'out with the old and in with the new' as they are about to construct their first Prefabricated building.
A new dump truck has come to the site - Skatch. He's so exciting and so much fun that Diggs and Carrie seem to be ignoring their old pal, Scooch. / Bozer returns from a servicing only to find that his big deep boomy boss voice has changed to something very high and squeaky! This starts him worrying about whether he'll be taken seriously as a boss any more.
Diggs' job doesn't seem as much fun as Carrie's and Scooch's. Moving piles of stones from one place to another is just boring. / A site scattered with piles of materials inspires Diggs to suggest an obstacle race. Almost immediately he and Carrie are competing as to who will be the fastest, leaving Scooch wondering if he's up to the challenge.

Sarries denied New York showdown
ESPN Staff
October 12, 2012
Saracens chief executive Ed Griffiths is eager to push the boundaries © Getty Images
Saracens' ambitious globe-trotting plans have been dealt a fresh blow with the news that their hopes of playing Munster in New York later this year have been dashed.
The Aviva Premiership club planned to switch their Heineken Cup clash on December 16 to the MetLife Stadium - an 82,500-capacity stadium which is the home to American football sides the New York Giants and New York Jets.
The Daily Telegraph reports that Munster were positive about the prospect of playing the high-profile European clash on American soil. But the attempt to switch the venue fell down because of technical issues at the MetLife Stadium.
The revelations come after it was revealed that Edinburgh rejected a proposal by Saracens to stage their Heineken Cup clash between the two teams in Cape Town.
Saracens chief executive Ed Griffiths told the newspaper: "We are in a unique position this season because our new stadium, Allianz Park, is not ready and we saw this an opportunity to take some top-class rugby matches where we could create big events that people want to watch.
"I went to New York in July and looked at the MetLife Stadium. We looked at the size of the pitch and it came down in the end to the fact that we would need to put rugby posts into the artificial turf.
"The owners of the two NFL teams didn't want the poles going into the turf, they wanted them going in behind the line so it wouldn't affect the line where their score a touchdown.
"It was disappointing because we wanted to put it on a grand stage and the MetLife Stadium is a fantastic venue at Meadowlands. My feeling was if we had been able to play there we would have had a great occasion.
"The indication from Munster, too, was that they would be eager to receive a proposal. I think they had worked out for an Irish team to go to New York made quite a lot of sense."

(CBS) In what was supposed to be a night off, Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford made arguably the play of the day.
Goaltender Ray Emery got the start Wednesday night in Edmonton, but exited early with a lower-body injury.
A cold Crawford came off the bench to replace Emery, and with 12 minutes remaining in the second period, made a save that will be played on highlight reels for the rest of his career.
Not only did Crawford make this incredible save, he managed to keep the Oilers off the board for the rest of the night.

It feels good to be on the right track again, even though we have a ways to go. The good part is, we don't have anything like the rocky road we traveled before. We had to make some not-so-fun choices to set our priorities to rights...one is that we had planned to remodel our kitchen (I have 30 year old linoleum and countertops), but decided we need to pay off debt first and save the money to remodel so that we're not debting to do it. I know it's the right thing, I just don't like it! But it's not like I'm having to choose between rent and groceries - which once was the case.
|Fri, 04-11-2003 - 8:54am
Home Depot has peel and stick vinyl tiles that you can probably put right over your old linoleum (as long as it's level).
It may not be exactly what you want in the long run (but you'd be surprised, they have some nice choices) but you could probably have a new floor for around $100, depending on the size of your kitchen. It's really easy. I did it in our bathroom for $30 and
our kitchen for something like $80. It's not quite the natural stone I was dreaming of but it looks nice for now. ;)
Could you paint your countertops or use contact paper or something to give them a new look temporarily? I don't know if paint would work but they may make something that
"refinishes" countertops. Good luck! Have fun!
|Fri, 04-11-2003 - 11:18am
If all goes according to plan, we will be able to have saved up to do the kitchen by the end of this year. In that light, I don't think I want to spend time and money on temporary fixes - after all, it's only a matter of months, and it feels wasteful to buy and put down linoleum that I'm going to rip up and throw away in a couple months. I'd rather save that money toward the real fix. The only thing I can do to keep my sanity is to keep the kitchen scrubbed clean to within an inch of its life. I don't think an ugly room has ever actually killed anyone. :)

Selling my color matched (Radiant Red) ARE Cap that I took off of my Regular Cab 2001 Tacoma but will fit any 6' bed Tacoma (1997-2004 I believe) This may even fit other trucks? The Cap is in great shape, there is only a scuff or two from setting it down under the covered and concrete portion under my deck. I can provide matched touch up paint if you would like. Sorry I could not get better photos but can email more upon request. The first photo is the cap on my truck at the time of purchase, the second is a sourced image of the same cap but different color on a Double Cab. I have 3 keys for the locking cap, all the rubber sealant around the cap base is in very good shape, the side windows slide as well as the window that separates the cap from the truck cab rear window. The third brake light works as it should with included connectors to your truck beds electrical connectors. This cap will be a great way to cover and protect whatever you may have in your truck bed. Come take a look! Also included are the original aluminum clamps and hardware, all in great shape! I will help you lift it/install it too.

Cryptic Studios has pushed back the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons game Neverwinter until late next year. The delay is due to Cryptic's parent company, Perfect World Entertainment, wanting to give the game more time to develop.
When we first heard of Neverwinter, back in August of 2010, Cryptic was owned by Atari, a company in the midst of a legal dispute with Hasbro over the rights to use the D&D property. Last month, the sale of Cryptic to Perfect World Entertainment was finalized, so the dispute isn't the cause of the delay for Neverwinter, but will affect other Atari-owned D&D properties.
The two companies settled out of court, giving Atari the right to sell and develop a selection of games with the D&D license, including the recently released action-RPG Daggerdale and the upcoming Facebook game Heroes of Neverwinter. Hasbro will retain all other rights to D&D license, but more details on the agreement were not revealed.
Neverwinter will allow players to select a D&D class for their hero and team up with others to take on traditional quests, but for those who would prefer to roll solo, there will be a single-player option that fills in roles with AI-controlled NPCs. We're looking forward to seeing how Perfect World Entertainment deals with the D&D universe, and for more info you can check out our preview.

CasaTunes 5.00.140514
CasaTunes is a browser-based software, that enables you to configure the music players throughout your entire house. You can set it to play music from several different sources and fully control the songs that play in each room.
Set up rooms and sources
CasaTunes is compatible with several types of streamers, and you can even set it up via the server. You can listen to music from the selected source, from your computer, iTunes, NUVO libraries, or you can set up AirPlay, in order to play songs from your iPod, iPad and iPhone.
You can manage CasaTunes with the browser, or using the selected accessories, in order to view the queue of songs, to add or remove melodies and to adjust the volume or playback. Additionally, you can use the application's built-in radio utility, that enables you to listen to world broadcast from any room in your house.
Internet music
CasaTunes works with several online music services, such as iNetCustom, SHOUTcast or Spotify, in order to bring to you fresh playlists. You can set the selected service to play on all sources or just in your room.
Moreover, you can access CasaTunes remotely, by using a dedicated server. You can create your own server configuration, in order to activate and control the application or you can connect to the default CasaTunes UltraVNC. You may decide whether you wish to grant access and control privileges to third parties.
Sleep and wake up
CasaTunes also works as a morning alarm, thanks to its Wake function, that allows it to start automatically at the specified time each day. Similarly, if you do not have time to shut it down manually, you can set a sleep timer and be sure the application shuts down at the desired moment.
CasaTunes is a useful utility, designed to help you control music playback configuration from your entire house. Once you set up the system, CasaTunes enables you to manage playlists, add songs, from several sources, listen to the radio or replace music according to your own preferences.
