"Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced."
John Keats
""When a warrior learns to stop the internal dialogue, everything becomes possible; the most far-fetched schemes become attainable.""
Carlos Castaneda
"Firemen are going to get killed. When they join the department they face that fact. When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that is all in the line of work. They were not thinking of getting killed when they went where death lurked. They went there to put the fire out, and got killed. Firefighters do not regard themselves as heroes because they do what the business requires."
Chief Edward F. Croker
"Hate is the consequence of fear; we fear something before we hate it; a child who fears noises becomes a man who hates noise."
Cyril Connolly
"Time always seems long to the child who is waiting - for Christmas, for next summer, for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day"
Dag Hammarskjold
"Cleanliness becomes more important when godliness is unlikely."
P. J. O'Rourke
"Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud."
Hermann Hesse
"A book is never a masterpiece: it becomes one. Genius is the talent of a dead man."
Carl Sandburg
"In peace there's nothing so becomes a manAs modest stillness and humility;But when the blast of war blows in our ears,Then imitate the action of the tiger:Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;Now set the teeth, and stretch the nostril wide,Hold hard the breath, and bend up every spiritTo his full height!"
William Shakespeare
"Few tasks are more like the torture of Sisyphus than housework, with its endless repetition: the clean becomes soiled, the soiled is made clean, over and over, day after day"

By Hope Jackson, M.D., and Devika Dixit, M.D.
Just in time for Mother's Day comes the release of Save the Children's "State of the World's Mothers" report, which outlines the best and worst places to be a mom and a child across the globe.
This year, the U.S. tumbled to 31st place thanks to an increased risk of maternal and little improvement in the childhood death rate.
What are we doing for mothers and children in the U.S.? What about the rest of the world? Those were questions in this week's ABC News health tweet chat, moderated by ABC News's chief health and medical editor Dr. Richard Besser.
You can read the entire chat transcript here, or catch the highlights below.
T1: Chances a mother & her baby will survive, education, income & political representation of women help determine our rankings. #abcDrBchat
— Save the Children (@SavetheChildren) May 6, 2014
T2: Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Netherlands – Best 5 countries! #abcDrBchat
— Devika Dixit (@DevikaDixitMD) May 6, 2014
@abcDrBchat T4: Worst 5 places to be a mom are: Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Democratic Republic of the Congo & Somalia. #abcDrBchat #SOWM
— Save the Children (@SavetheChildren) May 6, 2014
T5: 40 % of the world's children live in countries with conflict. #SOWM #BringBackOurGirls #abcDRBchat

T6: U.S. is 1 of 8 countries w/ increased maternal mortality since 2003. #abcDrBchat

Chris Carpenter adds to postseason legend
October, 10, 2012
David Schoenfield | ESPN.com
The first postseason game in our nation's capital since 1933 proved an ugly disaster for the home fans. The Cardinals scored one run in the first off Edwin Jackson, and then unlikely postseason hero Pete Kozma -- doing his best impersonation of Bucky Dent or Brian Doyle or Cody Ross -- slugged a three-run homer in the second to give the Cardinals a 4-0 lead.
From there, Chris Carpenter and the Cardinals' bullpen cruised to an 8-0 victory to take a 2-1 series lead.
Jayson Stark summed up the 37-year-old in his opening sentence in his story leading into the game: "On Wednesday afternoon in Nationals Park, a man will take the mound who has no business being there."
Carpenter, who missed most of the season recovering from shoulder surgery, didn't exactly carve up the Nationals, allowing seven hits and striking out only two batters, but in typical Carpenter fashion, he gutted it through 5 2/3 innings and got the big outs with runners on base, most notably striking out Mike Morse with two runners on in the first and retiring Morse again on a fly to right with the bases loaded to end the fifth.
[+] Enlarge
Joy R. Absalon/US PRESSWIREChris Carpenter, who didn't record a win during the regular season, held the Nationals scoreless in 5 2/3 innings Wednesday.
In his postgame on-field interview, Carpenter said LaRoche had put some good at-bats on him in the past. "In no way was I going to let him hurt me. If he walks he walks," he said of that situation.
Carpenter's postseason legacy is starting to build. In 16 career playoff starts, he's 10-2 with a 2.88 ERA. He's been the ace on two World Series champions. His best postseason outings include eight shutout innings against the Tigers in Game 3 of the 2006 World Series, a memorable 1-0 complete-game win over Roy Halladay in Game 5 of last year's NL Division Series, his gutsy effort on three days' rest in Game 7 of the last year's World Series and now this game, performing at a high level when he wasn't even expected to be here a couple of months ago.
"It was just a constant grind," Carpenter said. "I made pitches when I had to. When you get to this situation in the postseason, you just give it all you got and go as long as you can and turn it over to the bullpen."
A fun stat that sums up Carpenter's outing: He became just the second pitcher to start and win a postseason game after not winning a game during the regular season, joining Virgil Trucks of the 1945 Tigers, who returned from military service, started once in the regular season and then twice in the World Series.
Other thoughts:
- Davey Johnson has to be a little worried about his bullpen, which got battered for a second straight game. Lefty Ross Detwiler will start Game 4 on Thursday, and the expectation has to be that Detwiler won't go deep into the game. First, the Cardinals roll out all those right-handed hitters in the middle of their order, and Detwiler had a sizable platoon split during the regular season (.734 OPS versus right-handed batters, .513 versus lefties). Also, Detwiler isn't a guy Johnson uses deep into games; he had more five-inning outings than seven-inning outings this season. So there's a good chance Johnson will once again have to call on Craig Stammen and/or Ryan Mattheus, and neither has been effective so far in this series.
- Bryce Harper continues to struggle at 1-for-15 with six strikeouts (no strikeouts in this game). He's been battling strep throat and has been taking antibiotics, not that he's about to use that as an excuse. I wouldn't chalk it up to the postseason jitters of a 19-year-old; he just hasn't hit. Case in point: In the fifth with a runner on, he took a curveball for a called strike and then popped out to shorstop on a pretty meaty 92 mph fastball. I'm sure he'll be back in the No. 2 spot on Thursday.
- It looks as though the Cardinals have yet another bullpen weapon in Trevor Rosenthal, who was pumping upper-90s gas for the second straight game. A 21st-round draft pick in 2009 out of a Kansas community college, Rosenthal has been a starter in the minors. (He posted a 2.97 ERA in 20 minor league starts before his promotion to the big leagues, where he had a 2.78 ERA with 25 K's in 22 2/3 innings as a reliever.) With Rosenthal joining the Edward Mujica-Mitchell Boggs-Jason Motte mix, the Cards' bullpen looks deep even if they have to move Lance Lynn to the rotation if they advance to the NLCS.
- The legend of Pete Kozma. Discuss. Between his play on the infield fly in the wild-card game, his crucial error in Game 1 and now this big home run, Kozma is becoming one of the central figures of this postseason. You just never know, do you?
- There will now be a lot of talk about Stephen Strasburg, and there should be. Yes, he did struggle a bit down the stretch. And maybe the drop-off from him to Detwiler isn't that large, but in this specific matchup against the righty-heavy Cardinals, I think you'd still have wanted Strasburg out there.

When the Best Defense is an Amazing Offense: How Flawless and Profitable Execution will Decide Who Wins in Today's Quick-Serve Battlefield
Quick-service restaurants are under siege, fighting against unprecedented competitive pressures. On one side, convenience stores and grocers are selling grab-and-go packaged foods and fresh items with equal speed. On the other, new quick serves are springing up left and right with new promotions and competitive pricing. What's an operator to do?
The answer is to do what quick serves have always done best. Diverse menus, fresh food, fast service, and clean stores are no surprises, but now it is all about how well the business is executed. And it all must be rendered profitably—with no room for error. Your workforce must be fully mobilized and as productive as possible.
During this webinar, attendees will learn how hyper-execution starts with the optimal integration of workforce management, mobility technologies, employee task management, and site management software.
Far from another boring technology overview, this program will focus on trends and pain points of the quick-serve industry, and how operators can squeeze greater efficiencies and productivities—and, ultimately, greater profit—in this chaotic era of static budgets, increasing costs, multi-directional competitive pressure, and increased government regulation.
Turning Customer Feedback Into Growth: Taco John's Shares How Guest Surveys Help Build Business
Taco Johns, one of the largest quick-service Mexican restaurant brands in the United States, sought to enhance its customers' service expectations as a part of its overall brand re-launch this past summer. If you're looking for insight into how the brand successfully achieved its objective, join us for this free webinar as Shawn Eby, vice president for operations at Taco John's, explores:
The process he and his team embarked upon to identify the needs they faced in cultivating a guest-centric culture.
The steps Taco John's used to determine which technologies and partnerships they sought to grow for the future.
How he and his team are turning the real-time feedback of Taco John's guests into meaningful actions to guarantee outstanding service experiences.
Finding the Perfect Fit: How Choosing the Correct Fixture for the Job Can Save Your Operation Water, Energy, and Labor
Join T&S Brass for an informative webinar about valuable lessons learned in the application of critical plumbing fixtures in today's commercial kitchens. Water conservation expert Ken Gallagher will share personal insights gathered from real-world T&S site visits and water audits in the quick-service restaurant market—demonstrating the significant savings that can be realized by selecting the correct equipment specifically designed for a particular job.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to hear from an industry leader about the benefits of choosing the ideal product for your application as he shares examples from actual quick-service restaurant kitchens.

I love the current roster of the game as is. But for the people that are complaining about the roster keep in mind it is an live arcade game and not a full fledged 360 game, so stop complaining. But I can't wait for new characters either. I don't care if they are male or female just give me more of that hand drawn HD goodness. | |

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
The Beyoncé brand
She's young, gifted and black, but superstar singer's pop-culture reign has transcended mere talent and tunes
Back in May, Saturday Night Live aired a now-viral faux movie trailer called The Beygency. In it, host Andrew Garfield dares to admit in public that he's just not that into Drunk In Love, and now he must go on the lam for fear of retribution from The Beygency, a covert operation that takes out Beyoncé haters.
"He turned against his country, and its queen," the voiceover intones. "A man with nowhere to run and no taste."
Who run the world, indeed. In 2014, it certainly feels like Beyoncé-worship has reached an all-time high — and is practically a requirement, if you're to believe SNL, to maintain your U.S. citizenship. The cult of Queen Bey is a far-reaching one. There's rumoured to be National Church of Bey in Atlanta. Academia is also on board, with many institutions — including the University of Victoria — offering courses on her. In the just-released trailer for the film Fifty Shades of Grey, the fact that she contributed a sexed-up version of Crazy in Love gets billing over, you know, the cast. And if you hate on Beyoncé? The message is clear: bow down to Bey or bow out.
After all, she is more an than a diva. She is royalty. She is (whisper) Beyoncé.
"Beyoncé has become something more than just a superstar. She is a kind of national figurehead, an Entertainer in Chief; she is Americana. Someday, surely, her Single Ladies leotard will take its place alongside Mickey Mouse and the Model T Ford and Louis Armstrong's trumpet in a Smithsonian display case," writes culture critic Jody Rosen in a rather effusive profile.
"Historically speaking, this is no small achievement. Black women have always been dominant figures in American popular music, but no one, not even Aretha Franklin, has reached the plateau that Beyoncé occupies: pop star colossus, adored bombshell, 'America's sweetheart.'"
Why Beyoncé is famous isn't exactly a mystery. She's incredibly talented, in possession of one of pop music's most soulful voices. She's got a cavalcade of hits to her credit. She's got a puritan's work ethic. She's beautiful. But then, that's all true of many other bankable pop stars. Why Beyoncé is the girl on top of the world is the more interesting question.
At 32, she's already an industry veteran. After hitting the Houston song-and-dance competition circuit as a kid, she rose to fame in the '90s as the frontwoman of R&B girl-group Destiny's Child. Her solo career in the following decade was successful, garnering fistfuls of Grammys, blockbuster record sales and chart-dominating hits — but, while 2008's Single Ladies will enjoy a lasting legacy as the soundtrack to the bouquet toss at weddings for the rest of time, Bey didn't have the same kind of ubiquity she has today.
That all changed with Beyoncé. On Dec. 13, 2013, Bey's fifth solo album — composed of 14 songs and 17 videos for a gloriously decadent multimedia binge watch — was dropped on iTunes with zero advance promotion. The move was unprecedented. And, like everything else Beyoncé does, calculated.
It's telling that this album is self-titled, while its predecessor, I Am... Sasha Fierce, was named for an alter-ego. Beyoncé announced the arrival of a new Beyoncé. A Beyoncé who could mix her Southern family values with graphic descriptions of raunchy sex. A Beyoncé who could work out discussions of motherhood, feminism and body image on the dance floor. A Beyoncé who maintains a cool air of mystery while still seeming warm and approachable.
In an era in which most pop stars still desperately want to be perceived as girls, Queen Bey sets herself apart by making it crystal clear that she is a grown woman.
She knows what she's doing, of course. Mrs. Knowles-Carter — who will bring her On the Run stadium spectacle with husband Jay Z to Investors Group Field on Sunday night — is a shrewd businesswoman. She's savvy in a way that most pop stars are not. The Beyoncé we think we know is the Beyoncé she allows us to know; she has figured out how to manipulate a game that is so often rigged against women. She puts her thong on one leg at a time and gyrates the same way female pop stars always have, but she reveals herself on her terms.
In our culture, many people feel entitled to unfettered access to famous women's bodies — which goes a long way in explaining the Internet outrage over the fact there weren't more shots of Beyoncé's pregnant body in her 2013 HBO autobiographical film Life Is But a Dream. (Many conspiracy theorists are also on a mission to prove that Blue Ivy was carried by a surrogate.) Bey has boundaries.
It's rare for a celebrity of her magnitude to have full control and ownership of her narrative and image — and how it's all marketed — the way Beyoncé does. There's little doubt about who is in the driver's seat of her career. She's a noted perfectionist; a 2013 GQ cover story detailed the official Beyoncé archive, a temperature-controlled digital storage facility that houses every scrap of ephemera from her career. Every interview she participates in is videotaped. She records every concert and critiques each show back at the hotel. Pages of notes are disseminated to crew. Photographers who are not on her payroll are are not allowed to photograph her in concert; she did, after all, try to have "unflattering" photos from her Super Bowl halftime performance scrubbed from the Internet.
That aforementioned HBO "documentary?" Financed, directed, produced, narrated by Beyoncé. She's an active Instagrammer, but every shot is carefully chosen. Her life looks perfect, of course, yet real. Her feed reveals a woman who quite literally Has It All — a career on fire, an adorable baby girl, a hot sex life with a loving husband, wealth and opportunity. She makes us believe that maybe we can have versions of It All, too. Because she's just one of us gals. That mix of aspirational and inspirational is what the Beyoncé brand is built on — and what has, coupled with elite athlete-level discipline and raw talent, helped make her the highest paid black musician in history.
It's also why that whole elevator fracas with Jay Z and her sister Solange held so many rapt; it represented a crack in her carefully presented veneer. It's also why many are bummed out by the rumours that Beyoncé and Jay Z are splitting up after their On the Run tour wraps. They are a power couple to be sure — a net worth pegged around $1 billion with a B — but it's nice to think that they are still crazy in love. That their home life is as idyllic as it is on Instagram.
Because Beyoncé doesn't just sell albums or stadium spectacles. She sells the American dream.

December 13, 2010 •IADT Detroit • 0 Comments
IADT Detroit celebrated Thanksgiving as the kickoff to our charity month. This year, like last year, we had a staff donate gift baskets for a raffle to raise funds for RMHC. The gift baskets in themselves were valued over $1,000. The baskets were raffled off to staff at an end-of-year business review meeting. The Executive Director of the Ronald McDonald House of Southeast Michigan, Jennifer Litomisky was invited and presented with the proceeds. She also won a picture from instructor Ledio Veseli of the Detroit Skyline for the House.
This raffle effort raised $1,246 in donations for the House. In addition, throughout the month, the entire campus filled a refrigerator-sized box with supplies and canned foods for the house, led by the admissions staff. Student group AIGA also cooked breakfast at the House on December 13th – even with poor driving conditions due to a huge snow storm! That's the Spirit of IADT - Detroit!

GE And ComEd Sign $200M Smart Meter Deal To Modernize Chicago's Grid
GE (NYSE: GE) has been selected by ComEd, a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC) and the electric utility serving Northern Illinois, to deliver approximately 4 million smart meters from 2013 to 2021 in a deal worth more than $200 million (U.S.). The smart meters will allow ComEd's customers to better manage their energy usage and help ComEd more quickly detect and restore power outages.
"Deploying smart meters will not only strengthen economic growth, create jobs and modernize our electric grid, but empower our customers to take more control over their energy usage," said Anne Pramaggiore, president and CEO, ComEd. "Working side by side with GE, we are able to create a modernized grid that will improve reliability, provide new ways to save energy and money and benefit the Illinois economy."
By deploying advanced meters across its service territory, along with other components of its grid modernization initiative, ComEd expects to transform the delivery of electricity to homes and businesses and give consumers greater control over their energy consumption and costs.
Under Illinois' 2011 Smart Grid Law, ComEd committed to invest more than $2.6 billion over 10 years to modernize its electric grid in Northern Illinois—more than $1.3 billion of which is earmarked to build a smart grid network and install smart meters in 4 million homes and businesses.
"The Illinois Smart Grid program will provide ComEd's customers with the benefits of a modern grid and help GE grow its local workforce in Chicago," said Mark Hura, general manager of sales in North America, GE's Digital Energy business. "This program allows us to be local with our customer by adding positions focused on the assembly of smart meters, a technology that offers a range of benefits to consumers such as shortened restoration time in the event of an outage. ComEd is a valued customer to GE, as demonstrated by our long-standing relationship and our recent successful smart meter pilot program. We look forward to working with ComEd to make grid modernization a reality in Chicago and all of ComEd's service territory."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I picked up a new Sig P226 recently. In looking at the manual, I noticed a small section called "WARNING - DROPPED PISTOL". It says, "If dropped, the pistol may fire. Keep the chamber empty unless actually firing! ANY GUN MAY FIRE IF DROPPED"
This seems similar to the warning in the Glock manuals which stated that Glocks should always be carried with an empty chamber. I think that's been changed now. I can't remember seeing a manual, though, where they specifically say to not have a round chambered unless firing due to the possibility it will fire when dropped. I know what some will say, "I would never carry a pistol where the manufacturer has to give a warning like that." I think that's why they put that last bit at the end in all caps: ANY GUN MAY FIRE IF DROPPED. They're trying to point it that it's not a Sig problem, but just a general acknowledgement about firearms. I would agree that any gun could fire if dropped, though with modern internal safeties on pistols it's almost impossible.
Another one of those "don't carry your gun with a round in the chamber" kind of warnings, which I find interesting. The manufacturer knows full well that any competent person carrying the gun will have a round chambered, but they also have to make the lawyers happy. It's a shame because then some people probably do follow the advice, though if they haven't had sufficient training to know it's stupid advice then maybe they are the kind of people that shouldn't have a round chambered (or be carrying in the first place). Weird that "training" includes learning to ignore the advice in the manual.

Yeah did think of the WARMS. but with the winds that can blow from the coast shy's me away.
I take it that they have finally surcome to the Heli side of things. A few years ago there wasn't many down there and they didn't care too much for them. To be honest... Just to fly with other like minded is all I'm after. Weather it is club bound or not. I understand the insurance side of things is fantastic. Is anyone still flying at the park near Murdock? My wife works Saturday and I spend time with the kidlets and get the house jobs done. Sunday is the best time to get free. Hope you have a good fly tomorrow if you are going down. |
May 18, 2012, 06:52 AM | ||
We've been going gently, gently down there (e.g. no EDFs or pushers etc) but I did fly a glider there today whilst Bill flew his Addiction. I'm sure an electric helo wouldn't be an issue either (I've flown my 500 down there recently). Sorry you can't make it tomorrow and most of us will be heading to Pearce on Sunday. Probably be there on a Sunday over the next couple of weeks though. |

Hi everyone,
Im a newby getting into RC, live down at South Lake, so looking for some people to go flying with and also a place to fly where e-flyers can without the hassels (Rangers, animals and people) any advice would be good ? Not sure if Murdoch is ok anymore or if Sutherlands Park (Southern River) would be a better choice ? Anyone formed an electric club/park flyers south of Perth yet ?? |
Jul 09, 2012, 09:13 AM | |
I fly several times a week at Sutherland Park - no hassles so far, but you would need to be a competent pilot, as it is definately a shared park, lots of dog walkers and the occasional footy training session. I only fly e-gliders here, as I try to respect the other users of the park. FWIW
I'm also a member of KAMS (an awesome club BTW) but Sutherlands is closer and just a whole lot easier to get to after work, mid-week. |
Jul 09, 2012, 10:32 AM | ||||
A few of us still occasionally fly at Murdoch but only small and very quiet stuff. Most of us now also go to Sutherlands Park. Mainly on a Sat morning from around 07:00. Generally speaking we try and leave before the footy starts to get going around 09:30. As mentioned; its a great set of ovals but there is a lot of users (hence why we get there early and leave early). Most of us are still MAAA members but still like to fly at Sutherland. Also speaking of Sutherland Park, here's a video of my A-10 'maiden' from Saturday morning. See you there sometime. Cheers

Murdoch ...um, not so RC friendly anymore
Hiya Guys,
I've been sitting on this info for a while not knowing whether to list it here so you had "denability" ...but I figure you may have forgotten that you read this if it doesn;t suit your needs. Ok, as a few of you know, I work at Murdoch uni. In the past I have had a good semi-formal agreement from the powers that be we could all use the oval freely for rc flying. Since the surface rebuild I went to get an updated agreement. Needless to say the scene has changed. I'll spare you the details but they said that after spending millions of $$ and now that the ovals are the official WACA training space, they don't want anyone fromt the public using it for anything. Aparently after this investment they are patrolling it and fining people. They instead forwarded me the price list for hiring the "venue" if we were really keen ...It costs hundreds per hour I tried a range of gentle diplomatic negotiations none of which made traction. So thats the latest - sorry guys. But as I say, feel free to forget you ever read this. Cheers, Matt Quote:
Jul 09, 2012, 09:44 PM | |
Firstly 'thanks' Matt for that update. No more flying at Murdoch
Jeff, yep we're generally at Southern River every Sat morning.....early. It does get pretty busy as the morning progresses (kids footy) so we generally move to a quiet corner or leave by 09:30. And yep that's Rob's old A-10. I got it 4th hand!! 2nd and 3rd ones lost interest after a few issues that were stopping it getting airborne. I was a smidgen off a stall whilst I was playing with the flaps at low throttle. It was 2 mistakes high at the time!! I believe they do have a very nasty stall if pushed!! Hope to see you soon. |
Jul 10, 2012, 07:29 AM | |
Cool must catch up sometimeIve seen the park your talking about but never though of going as the few times Ive accually wanted to check it out its blowing like a whore.
Dave .....with it as cold as it is atm,I'm still thinking about getting outta bed when your ready ta go,anyway I'd like ta hav a fly this w/end so I hope ta make it Cheers Jeff |
Jul 10, 2012, 08:49 AM | |
Hey Les - thanks for that. I regularly fly at Sutherlands mid-week and fly at KAMS on the weekends. My father-in-law (who flies a Radian in-between crashing it into things ) lives just down the road from this park in Gosnells. Tried flying on this sporting field a couple of times and it got crowded really quick. I'll be keen to give this spot a go. Never thought that you could go over to the bit you highlighted... Thanks for the heads up!

This is a 2 million dollar machine and apparently there were some technical issues, and I am guessing software that lead to the hardware not wanting to operate and even a reboot didn't fix it so we know what happens then, further search to find out if the drivers or anything else related to the hardware caused a problem. The machine has been used before so this was not a set up issue and maybe a "system restore" will fix it? Yes that was a bit of humor there as the parameters of the daVinci devices are a bit more complex of course. In the OC we have Hoag Hospital now using the robot for gynecologic procedures. This comes right after the FDA just approved a new addition to the robot for an accessory that allows it to perform gall bladder surgeries. The patient was connected, sedated and ready to go but the robot was not. Apparently the problem has been fixed and the surgery has been re-scheduled. In today's complex world of software there's nobody that gets left untouched today and I mean nobody. I still get fascinated though with $150.00 Kinect device and the robot working together with some early experimentations. Kinect And daVinci Surgical Robot Do Simulated Surgery Suturing Together (Video)Earlier this year one of the hospitals here was doing a road show at the local mall to show consumers what the robot is all about. At any rate the good news is that it was an issue that was corrected and the patient was rescheduled for his prostate surgery. BD |

ETFs to Play Biotech M&A
NEW YORK ( SmartStops) -- Exchange-traded funds such as SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI), the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF (IBB), the Biotech HOLDRs (BBH) and the iShares Dow Jones US Pharmaceuticals (IHE) have been affected in recent weeks by a significant uptick in mergers and acquisitions in the sector.
This activity has been fueled by cash-heavy companies looking to diversify and broaden their horizons.
To put this into perspective, in just two days, nearly $3.1 billion in biotech-related deals were announced, and some suggest more activity is to come.
Big Pharma front-runners such as Pfizer (PFE), Sanofi-Aventis (SNE), Amgen (AMGN) and Merck (MRK) are expected to find themselves in something of a rut because of expiring patents and lackluster drug pipelines.
As a result, Big Pharma is likely to look at smaller, more nimble companies that are focusing on specific treatments and medical specialties. Some ETFs that are likely to be influenced by this increased activity include:- SPDR S&P Biotech ETF, which allocates nearly 51.5% of its assets to small-cap companies and 30.75% to medium-cap companies, which are the most susceptible to M&A activity.
- iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF, which tracks big players like Amgen as well as small and mid-cap stocks that are prime targets for M&A.
- Biotech HOLDRs, which predominantly allocates its holdings to large-cap companies such as Amgen, Gilead Sciences (GILD) and Biogen Idec Inc (BIIB). These are the likely acquirers in the sector.
- iShares Dow Jones US Pharmaceuticals, which includes drug giants Pfizer and Merck among its top holdings.
