For over a decade, Healy Consultants efficiently and effectively assists our Clients complete Indonesia company registration.
Advantages of Indonesia company registration
- Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world and GDP is growing at a rate 6 per cent per annum. Consequently, Indonesians per capita income and purchasing power is increasing. Consequently, local residents are hungry for international products and services and willing to spend on quality. After China and India, Indonesia boasts the largest domestic market in the Asian continent. This potential makes Indonesia business setup attractive for foreign entrepreneurs;
- Historically, foreign investment in Indonesia was in the manufacturing and mining sector. Healy Consultants encourages international investors to focus on Indonesia's vast services sector. The services sector in Indonesia is going through a massive transformation and there is massive demand for quality, innovative service providers. It is expected demand for services will outweigh supply in the near future, making Indonesia company formation ideal for your company's expansion goals;
- Because of the abundance of labour and raw materials, Indonesia's reputation as a manufacturing hub is growing considerably. The country is rich in several minerals and is one of the leaders in agricultural products, which is advantageous for entrepreneurs interested in Indonesia company formation;
- Compared to countries of the western world, the cost of living in Indonesia is very cheap including food, transport, utilities, rent, wages etc;
- Currently, Indonesia has 59 Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) different countries. Read more about double taxation agreements with Indonesia;
- Batam is the first Special Economic Zone (SEZ) opened in Indonesia, offering several tax incentives to businesses that use the area for manufacturing products for export purpose and most of the transaction to enter goods or services into the area are free from VAT, import duty and Local Service Tax.
Disadvantages of Indonesia company registration
- Indonesia company formation, if the form of a PMA, requires a minimum of US$100,000 paid up share capital;
- Indonesia company formation is hampered by restrictions on foreign investment in Indonesia, uncertain government costs and a lack of regulatory transparency. Consequently, it takes about three months to fully complete Indonesia company formationof an Indonesian PMA. Foreign investors interested in Indonesia business setup should only sign business contracts after the PMA is fully registered;
- One of the biggest business challenges in Indonesia is government red tape, bureaucracy and corruption. When there is ambiguity about Indonesia law, it gives rise to corruption and unnecessary delays in executing deals in the country;
- An Indonesian PMA requires a minimum issued share capital of US$257,000 to obtain approval by the BKPM – Indonesia's Capital Investment Coordination Board. This amount must be deposit in a bank before company formation;
- Indonesia company formation is hampered by restrictions on foreign investment in Indonesia, uncertain government costs and a lack of regulatory transparency. Consequently, it takes about three months to fully complete Indonesian LLC set up;
- An Indonesian company is liable to pay a corporation tax of 30% on income sourced in Indonesia and internationally. Capital gains are taxed at up to 30%.
Wholly foreign owned entities
- For the first 15 years of its life, an Indonesian PMA (Penanaman Modal Asing) limited liability company is 100% foreign-owned and controlled. In year 16, a 5% Indonesian shareholder must be appointed. An Indonesian PMA gives greater control to a foreign entrepreneur and is similar in nature to a standard private limited company in other countries;
- An Indonesian PMA (Penanaman Modal Asing), must appoint i) a minimum of one director and two shareholders ii) one commissioner (equivalent of a COO) and iii) a minimum issued share capital of US$100,000. Furthermore, business owners have the option to appoint a 5% Indonesia shareholder anytime within the first 15 years of its life;
- A PMA in the mining sector must appoint a 20% Indonesian shareholder within 5 years of commencement of its production operation;
- Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) requires foreign investor interested in Indonesia business setup to present an investment plan for minimum us$1.2 million, 25% (us$300,000) needs to be paid up as capital.
Different Indonesia entities
Comparison of different types of corporate structures:
Limited liability company
This is the most common Indonesia business setup used to do business in the country. An Indonesian limited liability company is also known as Perseroan Terbatas (PT). a PMA (Penanaman Modal Asing). If a company has a foreign party as a shareholder, then the company will be classified as a foreign investment company called Penanaman Modal Asing (PMA). Under company law, a PMA company must obtain approval from the Capital Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) before conducting business in the country.
As always, the company is a separate legal entity or 'person'. In particular, a company is separate from its owners, shareholders and the persons who run it, the directors. The minimum paid up share capital for an Indonesian PMA is US$100,000.
Indonesia branch
The establishment of an Indonesian branch during business registration, may be preferable to setting up a subsidiary if one of the objectives is to consolidate the financial results of the parent company.
Representative office
According to company law, an Indonesia Representative Office can also be 100% foreign-owned and controlled, but is not permitted to make direct sales in the country. As a result, such an office must however only engage in activities which will not amount to carrying on business, for example market research.
Joint ventures
The Indonesian government prefers foreign companies to form a joint venture with an Indonesian partner. Joint ventures in the country must be established in the form of a PMA, a foreign investment limited liability company.
Public companies
If shares in a company are offered to the public through an initial public offering (IPO) or a company has 300 shareholders and has paid-up capital of at least IDR3 billion, it will be a public company. A public company's shares may be listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (PT Bursa Efek Indonesia) (IDX) and subject to more stringent regulatory provisions.
Industrial free zones
- Indonesia currently boasts only one free trade zone (FTZ) which is Batam Free Trade Zone;
- Unfortunately, companies registered within Batam FTZ still suffer a corporate tax rate of 30%;
- However, Batam FTZ companies enjoy exemption from import and export duty on machine, spare parts, and raw materials for production purposes. Imported goods are also exempted from VAT;
- Batam FTZ offers double taxation avoidance for 51 countries including Australia, USA, United Kingdom, Germany, Vietnam, Philippines, Mauritius, Singapore, and Malaysia;
- Batam FTZ is located within the Indonesia – Malaysia – Singapore growth triangle and can be accessed by all modes of transportation including air, land, and sea; consequently, this location enables more efficient logistics for investors;
- Companies operating in Batam FTZ enjoy an ample supply of cheap labor and land compared to its neighbors. The average monthly labor cost is US$100-145 while average land rent is around US$2 per square meter per month;
- These FTZs invites multinationals from the business sectors of electronics, manufacturing, shipping industry, and oil and gas production.

Success tips when doing business in Indonesia
- Government agencies play an important role in doing business in Indonesia. All businesses deal with government agencies on a regular basis. This is where foreign companies would also need to exercise restraint and be patient as much as possible as government authorities would always have the final say in any matter;
- Because Indonesian companies are not as well-versed with international trade, we encourage our Clients to consistently use and sign contracts of service;
- Your joint venture partner or Indonesia shareholder must not merely be a nominee for the sake of meeting the rules of foreign company registraion. You should choose a partner that actually brings a lot to the table, including local knowledge your business would need in Indonesia;
- In 2009, the government passed a law making it mandatory to only communicate in Bahasa in the workplace. Bahasa is the official working language of the country. However, English is the most commonly spoken second language in the country and most of the nation's population would be able to converse in basic English with their foreign managers. Hence if required, the managers can speak in English until they pick up the local language. Of course learning the local language will not only help in meeting official guidelines for offices, it will help attract the best out of the local staff and allow the company to work more efficiently;
- When starting a business in Indonesia, it's important to find out what regulations and licenses apply to your firm. This can be complex area; as local, provincial, and national governments handle registration and licensing for various aspects of your business.

Why I am more a Lib Dem now than I was when I joined (and why we keep on needing to say such things)
9 July 2012 7 Comments
It has been over 2 years now that we have been in Government. We have been ridiculed, mocked, humiliated, and embarrassed by a seemingly never ending stream of attacks, u-turns, and broken promises. Our local power base has been decimated. Our members feel demoralised at best and ashamed at worst. The only person who seems to think this is going to bring electoral success is the leader of our party. But despite the mistakes, the challenges and the serious questioning of whether this is all worth it, there are reasons why I feel more aligned with the party today than when I joined in more prosperous times. To make this argument I will start and end on the same quote from Theodore Roosevelt, speaking at the Sorbonne in Paris, April 23, 1910:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
I have many issues with what has gone on in Government and in the party since we have been in Government, not least with Clegg, who I feel has too often been too slow to react with a Lib Dem instinct. But the majority of my frustration has been with the Tories and I understand the contempt that Labour supporters feel towards them. They champion the minority; they propose dangerous ideas; they do not understand modern society; and they do not represent the type of country I want to live in. It is hard being associated with a party that makes me feel disgusted. But we are in the arena giving blood, sweat and tears to make some semblance of a civilised government, despite the Tories, not because or with them.
Being in opposition is easy. You have no compromises to make and can pretend you don't need to make any if you were in government. We have been used to this position for so long. But in government we have had the most effective Ministers in Cable, Huhne, and Webb with many measures we should be proud of. That is not to say I like everything the Lib Dems have done in government but we should remember that it is not the critic who counts but the man who is actually in the arena. They may come short again and again, but we can't say that we haven't tried to make a difference in these difficult times.
It is an unfortunate state of affairs that everything is biased. We have no natural media base and you only have to pick up a newspaper to read how awful the Lib Dems are. The TV channels are as bad in an attempt to make stories and attract viewers. In the face of it Lib Dem supporters are left to believe everything that is written or are left with their faith or defences and both are poor political bellwethers. When I post the positive parts of the news about the Lib Dems I get messages saying I am wearing rose coloured glasses or it is a ridiculous love-in. It is merely highlighting the fact that some positive news has been reported but because it doesn't fit with mainstream media narrative it seems fictitious to some, even though it comes from the mainstream media. Within these positive news stories about the Lib Dems are the roots of who we are as a party: liberal, fair, internationalist, environmentally minded, distrustful of power bases, cooperative and many others.
We might experience a serious political setback in the 2015 general election. Some talk of it being a generation to rebuild the party. But this is a journey for us. We got what we got and we have tried to make the best of it. Mistakes have been made and we will pay for them. It does not mean the party is rotten, changed, or irrelevant. It means we made some mistakes. If we think we were going to go into government without making mistakes then we were kidding ourselves. This is real life.
The prize was always the triumph of high achievement and a liberal legacy. We may or may not achieve this. But we will have tried and tried with dignity. There are things I would have liked us to have done differently but I wish we didn't have to be in a government with the Tories. We may fail in government, and perhaps it is a strong possibility, but we can at least say that we failed while daring greatly.
We cannot deny the influence of the Lib Dems in Government precisely because we are in the arena. We cannot deny some of the measures that are coming out are because of the Lib Dems or have been improved because of the Lib Dems. We cannot bank on the fact that anyone will notice or even care this is the case. But we can at least say we have done our damndest to make this work and that it is better than it would have been otherwise.
We may not feel good about it. We may not do well out of it. But for all those who doubt the party, we still have a future and the party will continue to evolve and learn from our experiences. What we need is people to keep the party in line with why we exist, which can be difficult when under pressure from different angles when in government. We may forget, lose faith, or become disillusioned with the party but all these are necessary for organisations to grow. But we should remember this:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
P.S. This is the penultimate post of this blog as it will be closing very shortly and I thought I'd give advanced warning to anyone who managed to get to the end of this post. Thanks for reading.

A case study in what not to do when confronted with a culture of sexism.
First, some history. In 1977, a group of St Paul's College students at Sydney University held an awards ceremony in which a student who raped a woman was applauded for committing "the animal act of the year". Then last year St Paul's made headlines again after a Herald journalist, Ruth Pollard, exposed a "Pro Rape/Anti Consent" Facebook group run by students at the college.
While the scandal has made the students more media cautious, it does not seem to have affected their attitudes towards women.
And last week, they received the Gold Ernie - a shaming award for extreme misogyny. The awards organiser, Yvette Andrews, says St Paul's was the clear winner. ''There was a deep agreement that misogyny and sexism is an entrenched and protected part of college culture," she says.
While the scandal has made the students more media cautious, it does not seem to have affected their attitudes towards women. Earlier this year, a number of St Paul's students planned a musical dance revue number titled Always look on the bright side of rape. The number was canned for fear that it might invite media coverage.
In the end, the villain of the revue was called "Ruth Pollard" and students hissed, booed and threw objects when the character appeared. Signs were posted stating the show was "private" and media were not welcome.
These weak attempts to conceal their sexist culture combined with the petty revenge attempts indicate a lack of remorse and unwillingness to address the problem. St Paul's is not the only institution to be accused of a culture of sexism. In recent times David Jones and the NRL have also come under fire. The different approaches are instructive, and St Paul's does not come out of it looking good.
When individuals or groups repeatedly violate community standards, the public finds it difficult to forgive. To do so, we expect contrition and genuine effort. If the accused is transparent about the situation, admits the problem and demonstrates true penance, forgiveness may come.
When it was revealed that the former chief executive of David Jones, Mark McInnes, had allegedly sexually harassed a female employee, he stood down, issuing a statement apologising for his "inappropriate behaviour" (leaving with a substantial golden handshake).
St Paul's offered no acknowledgement or compassionate apology over the Facebook group, or to the victims who alleged they had been sexually assaulted or harassed by St Paul's students. Instead, it suited up with a team of lawyers and spin doctors. Legal action was threatened against the Herald, and a series of self-congratulatory press releases were crafted and then distributed by an appointed public relations company.
In one, the warden, Ivan Head, wrote: "I am happy to go on the record and affirm that St Paul's College in the university is one of the most exciting and stimulating places to live, brilliantly in the heart of the university, fully engaged with every aspect of student life, punching above its weight, moderated by wise and astute scholars."
Tokenistic concern was expressed over "any proven" incitement to rape, though Head then went on to profess complete ignorance of the culture of sexism, harassment and intimidation embedded within the institution.
The other Sydney University colleges did not follow suit. Wesley College said women were "seen as meat" and that offenders regularly escaped discipline. The St Andrew's College warden began talks with sexual-violence prevention experts. Women's College set up strategies to help protect female students during O Week.
In 2004 the NRL came under fire after gang rape allegations were made against the Canterbury Bulldogs. While the charges were eventually dropped, the chief executive, David Gallop, realised that sexist attitudes did exist within the code.
Instead of denying or covering up the problem, he opened the doors to a team of sexual ethics experts and educators who interviewed players and management to assess the culture, subsequently developing a comprehensive, long-term sexual ethics education program that is being introduced to all players.
These same experts met St Paul's after the Facebook scandal broke, but Head ignored their advice, instead electing to run a one-off ''tick-the-box'' workshop. He hosted a celebrity-studded, lavish gala dinner for his students, where $10,000 was donated to the White Ribbon Foundation - a men's organisation dedicated to ending violence against women.
But throwing money at a charity cannot buy absolution. These cases show when it comes to damage control, transparency, contrition and action always trumps denials and cover-ups.

A lie wrapped in an apology is still a lie. It is a big lie, a particularly offensive lie, coming as it does from the German company Chemie Grünenthal responsible for inflicting its notorious drug thalidomide on hundreds of thousands of women in 52 countries. Some 90,000 babies are calculated to have died in spontaneous abortion, but at least 10,000 mothers are known to have given birth to malformed babies between 1958 and 1961; the most damaged survive today as limbless trunks, others whose legs and arms were reduced to digital "flipper" extrusions from the shoulder, and thousands have severe internal injuries as well.
Grünenthal (now GmbH) was a small private company set up after World War Two as an offshoot of an old family firm that made soaps and detergents. Its first pharmaceuticals were produced under foreign license, but thalidomide (which it called Contergan) was its own, a sedative discovered by accident in the spring of 1954 by a 32-year-old chemist and doctor, Heinrich Mückter. To exploit the postwar sleeping-pill boom, Grünenthal marketed it massively from October 1957 as "completely safe," "completely atoxic," and free of the unpleasant side effects of barbiturates. The sales department called it "the apple of our eye" because it was so profitable. From 1958 to 1961 they zeroed in on promoting it for use by expectant mothers.
The apology for the tragedy has come from Grünenthal's new chief executive, Harald Stock, who at the end of last month stood outside the company's Rhineland offices in the small town of Stolberg to unveil a bronze sculpture of a thalidomide child with foreshortened "flipper" arms. "We ask for forgiveness that for nearly 50 years we didn't find a way of reaching out to you, human being to human being."
The emotion and apparent sincerity were appealing, but in the next breath he made forgiveness impossible. "Grünenthal acted," he said, "in accordance with the state of scientific knowledge and all industry standards for testing new drugs that were relevant and acknowledged in the 1950s and 1960s." That was flatly untrue, a product of either deep-rooted cynicism, belying his whole apology, or of appalling ignorance. Grünenthal has propagated the big lie for 50 years, retailing the notion that reproductive tests were unnecessary because nobody could possibly have realized in the fifties that a drug could penetrate the placental barrier and reach the fetus. (Stock and the company did not respond to requests for comment on these charges.)
It is 39 years since, as editor of the Sunday Times of London in the early seventies, I was associated with thalidomide investigations. Our survey of the scientific literature, consultations with reputable pharmaceutical companies and independent specialist advice swiftly found that reproductive studies were routinely done in the 1950s, because it was widely recognized that a drug could indeed reach the fetus. The tranquilizers in direct competition with thalidomide were all tested for teratogenic effects and the results published. If reproductive tests had been done on thalidomide, they would not necessarily have shown precisely what deformities would be produced, dependent on the time of ingestion in relation to the development of the fetus, but they would certainly have shown that drugs could endanger unborn children in some way.

Happenings at Halas
The Bears got back to work on Wednesday, a focused and energetic practice. Marc Trestman was quick to point out from the way they were, you would not know what had happened on Sunday. Suppose that's good. The ugly of the Detroit loss is behind them and the unbeaten Saints, armed with the league's 3rd most prolific offense has their attention.
The Bears defense is giving up points at a rate of nearly 32 a game. New Orleans had that in the first two and a half quarters Monday night against Miami. Drew Brees has already thrown for over 1400 yards and 10 touchdowns. Second only to Peyton Manning. He's been reunited with head coach Sean Payton who sat out the season because of "bounty gate" and its abundantly clear the connection those two share has a direct impact on the Saints success. At this point last season, New Orleans was 0-4 under interim head coach Aaron Kromer. Today, they are 4-0. Brees understands the intricacies of every defense he faces, and he picks them apart. He's fiercely competitive, and clearly among the NFL's elite quarterbacks. So if what the Bears defense truly wanted was an immediate chance for redemption- buckle up.
"Fundamentals and technique," according to defensive coordinator Mel Tucker who has pointed out each week where his unit missed assignments, gaps and tackles. Something they cannot afford to do against New Orleans with Brees, match up nightmare tight end Jimmy Graham, and elusive running back Darren Sproles. "It's a complex problem with no one answer," according to Trestman. Its impossible to key on stopping one player and hope it leads to victory.
Saints head coach Sean Payton said the same about the Bears offense. And Tim Jennings was quick to point out the tendancies the two offenses share. Call that the Aaron Kromer effect. Kromer spent the last 5 seasons in New Orleans helping build the offense. Now the Bears offensive coordinator is doing the same in Chicago. Perhaps we're seeing the future of Bears football in this weeks opponent. Right now, fans are simply hoping facing their own offense in practice is the perfect prep to bounce back with a win.
Pressure on Podlesh
The Bears worked out 6 punters on Tuesday, but their veteran punter was aware. The team let Adam Podlesh know and while he was grateful for the information, he was not in the least surprised. He knows Sunday did not go well and was the first to admit it. He was gracious today and knows what he wants to work on with his tempo, drops and mechanics. Special Teams coordinator Joe DeCamilis told us no one wants this to work more than Adam. Expect solid improvement this week, perhaps just because the bears are prepared to make a move if it makes the team better. That comes from the GM himself.

People were out at Avondale Park, Saturday, enrolling for health insurance plans with The Affordable Care Act.
Trained navigators helped walk newcomers through the paperwork.
To make the experience more enjoyable, organizers offered hot dogs and snacks for those enrolling. There were also hoola-hoops and music.
Enroll Alabama Navigator, Lauren Banks, says these enrollment fairs are a helpful service to the community.
"We had three people at 9:00 a. m. waiting for us to start signing people up," she said. "So, yeah, the response has been tremendous. In all, there are about 650,000 people uninsured. So, there are a lot of people we can reach."
Organizers say enrollment fairs will be in many communities throughout the year.

This interview was submitted and conducted by special contributor Eric Shapiro…
Making an appearance during Saturday's BattleCage Xtreme III event in Atlantic City was current UFC lightweight champion Sean "The Muscle Shark" Sherk. I was lucky enough to grab some face time with the champ and ask him a few questions about a potential bout with B.J. Penn, the Randy Couture situation, and his long-term future in the world of MMA. Enjoy.
Eric Shapiro: Do you enjoy coming to these events and is this a regular thing for you?
Sean Sherk: I do these every weekend…you know I get paid for appearances but I like watching fights, meet new people make new fans. It's great.
Eric Shapiro: Is this your first time coming to New Jersey for an event?
Sean Sherk: I fought in New Jersey back in UFC 30… which was the first UFC event I ever fought in and that was at the Trump (Taj Mahal) so its been a while.
Eric Shapiro: You defeated Hermes Franca, who is supposed to have excellent Jiu-Jitsu, do you think B.J. Penn's Jiu-Jitsu game is that much better?
Sean Sherk: I really think so, you know B.J.'s won a world title and I think his Jiu-Jitsu is going to be the best I've ever faced.
Eric Shapiro: How do you feel about B.J. being at 155 lbs. now instead of 170 lbs. as a welterweight? Do you think he will lose some power dropping the weight?
Sean Sherk: I always thought that he was a better 155 pounder than he was at 170 I think hes got better cardio, he's more agile, quicker, and I think he's a better fighter at 155. I always said that about him.
Eric Shapiro: Are you training ground game more specifically for a fight with B.J. or is it just business as usual in the gym?
Sean Sherk: I train everything in the gym, I've been boxing for a real long time, wrestling all my life, I've been training Jiu-Jitsu for a long time now and I've got some real phenomenal people that I train Jiu-Jitsu with. I'll probably bring a couple more Jiu-Jitsu guys to train with too.
Eric Shapiro: Assuming Matt Huges beats Matt Serra in the TUF finale, who would you see winning another potential match between Hughes and contender Georges St. Pierre? Since you've fought both of them before at welterweight.
Sean Sherk: Well that's the rubber match and if Hughes can get that fight on the ground I think he's got a pretty good chance but that's a big if, you know GSP can sprawl and he's a phenomenal athlete so if Hughes can get it on the ground he's got the advantage but if it stays standing up I give the advantage to Georges St. Pierre.
Eric Shapiro: Matt Hughes said recently on the TUF series that he's getting older and that he probably only has about two or three good fights left in him. Since you two are the same age (34) do you see retirement anywhere in your near future?
Sean Sherk: Do I plan on retiring any time soon? Not at all, I'm going to fight as long as I can. I love what I do and there's nothing else I would rather do. When I start losing fights it will be time to walk away but as long as I'm winning I'm not going to retire any time soon.
Eric Shapiro: Assuming you face and defeat B.J. Penn, who's left for Sean Sherk to face?
Sean Sherk: Well the weight class is stacked and there's guys coming out of the wood work all the time. Joe Stevenson's been on a winning streak, Frankie Edgar's been winning some fights, (Kenny) Florian's been winning a couple fights in a row…
Eric Shapiro: Would you be content with fighting Kenny Florian again?
Sean Sherk: Why not? I beat him last time. I don't care. I'll fight whoever they put in front of me.
Eric Shapiro: So you're not a real picker-chooser when it comes to your opponents?
Sean Sherk: You know what, when I retire from this sport I want to know that I fought the best of the best I don't want a question mark at the end of my career saying "Did I fight the best guys out there? Was I the best fighter?" If you want to be the best you've got to beat the best so put the best in front me and I'll fight 'em.
Eric Shapiro: Assuming you conquer everything there is to conquer at 155 lbs., do you think you might ever want to move back up to welterweight in the future?
Sean Sherk: You know what I just don't fee like I need to, I like 155, I fought 37 fights as a welterweight. I walk around at about 175-180 lbs. so it's no problem for me to make welterweight I actually have to cut a lot of weight to make 155. I feel exactly the same at 155 as I do at 170 that's why it's a big advantage for me because I don't lose any power and my cardio is actually better and I have more speed, agility, all and all its just a better fit.
Eric Shapiro: Are you currently training full-time?
Sean Sherk: Oh yeah, I've been training full-time for years.
Eric Shapiro: Do you ever take a break from training?
Sean Sherk: Well I had to take a break after my last fight, I tore my shoulder which I had hurt before I even fought (Kenny) Florian. I had surgery and took six weeks off to rehab it.
Eric Shapiro: Do you have a strategy in mind for a fight against B.J. Penn?
Sean Sherk: Just tire him out. I don't care how I do it, just tire him out.
Eric Shapiro: So you think cardio is still an issue for B.J. Penn?
Sean Sherk: Always man, I've never seen him fight and not get tired so that's always an issue
Eric Shapiro: So you really think he will still get gassed and have that same problem again?
Sean Sherk: Look, if you don't have work ethic you don't have work ethic. If you can't dieted properly and you can't get your ass in the gym six days a week…I mean maybe he (B.J.) will do some things differently but he's definitely not going to train as hard as I am, I promise you that.
Eric Shapiro: You're a big name in the UFC and everybody is still talking about the Randy Couture developments, what's your take on that?
Sean Sherk: I think Couture's phenomenal man I think he's one of the best guys to ever step foot in the Octagon. Like I said earlier about myself, I think Randy just wants to walk away from this sport knowing that he fought the best of the best. Right now Fedor (Emelianenko) is the number one heavyweight in the world everyone thinks he's unbeatable and Randy wants to fight him and that makes sense. I hate to see him leave the UFC, but it makes sense for him and I support him. Randy's 44-years old man; he's a four-time Olympian (editor's note: Couture was an Olympic alternate for the U.S. in Greco-Roman wrestling); five-time UFC champion; he wants to fight the best in the world and he deserves it.
Eric Shapiro: Have you ever personally experienced any of the problems that Couture claims to have had with UFC management?
Sean Sherk: I've never personally seen anything like that but there are other bigger organizations out there that are trying to compete with the UFC right now. UFC is obviously the big show in town and I think Randy left just because of Fedor.
Eric Shapiro: People have joked in the past that the UF in UFC stands for Underpaid Fighters, do you think that has some truth to it from your perspective?
Sean Sherk: You know, they've taken pretty good care of me in the past year, the paydays could definitely be better I'm not going to lie to you, but they have taken good care of me and outside of the paydays you've got all kinds of exposure and sponsorships, appearances, etc.
Eric Shapiro: A lot of guys in the UFC including yourself are sponsored by Xyience. Are they still treating you well?
Sean Sherk: Oh no, I'm not sponsored by them anymore. I used to be but they stiffed me a bunch of money. They stiff everybody. A lot of people are leaving them.
Good Job. Way to completely ignore the giant elephant in the room and just assume that he'll be fighting B.J. Penn. Journalism at its finest.

I was kind of surprised there weren't any questions about his suspension. From reading this article, you wouldn't even know he was under suspension.

No questions about his steriod usage? I think Benn is going to give him a run for his money.
I really don't get why he gets to keep the title after what had happened to him.

hah funny stuff .. I gotta agree with #1 100% …
I would have asked him who he thought would be wearing his belt next , Penn or Stevenson , when they fight for it in December.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Hey all, I sincerely apologize for not getting a question about his hearing in there. I obviously wanted to, and agree that an interview without that topic in it is not as solid, but Sherk has already claimed several times that his stance is "I never knowingly used steroids" and has passed that claim in a recent polygraph test. That being said, at the time I was finally able to score a second with Sherk (after the bouts of the evening), a slew of parents and children were hounding him for pictures and autographs, but he agreed to talk for a minute as he posed and signed. I conducted the interview in about 4 minutes, half of which were spent fending off others who kept trying to cut me off and get their time in with Sherk. So I had to use my time wisely, while I did not want to ask him about his hearing in front of all those children, it really came down to what was more important. I figured I could either definitely get some relevant questions in there, or I could waste time asking him about something that he has already addressed, didn't want to talk about, and would likely not give a new response to. It also could have soured the entire interview and I might not have been able to use anything I decided not to risk it and believe that I used my time well, otherwise I might not have been able to get anything at all with Sherk. Also, I never say that Sherk will "definitely" be fighting B.J. Penn, Sherk just said to someone else right before I spoke to him that B.J. is who he will be facing next (assuming he isn't suspended of course) that's why I asked him about Penn in the first place. If you read the top introduction you'll see that it says a "potential" bout with B.J. Penn, since it could obviously not happen until much later down the line depending on what happens. It should be noted that I also never demand to have any of my content posted, and as Sam Caplan said above, he wanted to run the interview regardless because there was still some good stuff in there. I am more than okay with my content not being posted and the operators of 5oz always have the right to take my content down or not run something, I don't mind. All in all, I stand by my decision and I apologize to those who feel short changed, but I did the best I could given the situation and if you really have a problem with it…well just leave some more comments. Thanks.

I enjoyed the interview. Especially the additional mud slung at the Xyience people. I hope they don't take the UFC with them.

I've heard reports from various people stating that he has mentioned while out clubbing or whatever that his case is dependent on the supplements being tainted. So, he'll be suspended even if he wins according to most commissions.

Who cares about Eric not asking Sherk about the suspension. That has been played to death, any athlete suspected of something like that has a canned answer for that kind of question anyway. I appreciate his use of time to ask questions that would definitely be answered. He wasn't there to do a Sherk steroid expose. He wasn't going to trick him into saying anything. Eric would have asked "What's going on with your suspension?" Sherk would have answered "I have never taken steroids. We filed an appeal and are waiting for the hearing so this can be over with." Would that have made the interview way better? No. Nice job Eric.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
And Sam should apologize for being a jerk. "This type of mistake will not be repeated." Did Eric say he was going to ask that question? Was his headline misleading? Did it say "Steroid Scandal Blown Open". It was an interview with Sherk. That is what was presented. Good questions about B.J. Penn and a little slap to Xyience. 4 minute interview done well.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
It's nice to see the Randy revolution finally inspired someone to talk about Xyience's failure to pay their sponsorships. I have been trying to tell folks forever that they are up to no good:
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Thank you Johnny and Kyle, I greatly appreciate your comments. I really did not think it was that crucial to try to jam a roid question in there during my short window of opportunity, but obviously others felt differently. So its nice to finally see some fans that understand. Furthermore, if anyone out there sees any other recent video interviews with Sherk (as in the one from mmanews.com) you will see that none of them involve a "steroid scandal" type question being addressed either. Sherk just says that his appeal hearing is coming up, and that hes confident it will get overturned. Not exactly earth shattering news. In fact, that particular interview was almost identical to mine. Thanks again guys.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Good Interview,
I am was really wondering about the steroid issue not being raised also. Great idea to address that in the responses. The background was helpful and does adjust my original thoughts of the interview. Judgment call on your part… OK, I agree with it. I have heard the official stance a dozen times, I did not need it again. Good Interview. I was especialy suprised by the Xience info. Are they really stiffing athletes sponsorship dollars, wow. I would like to read an article on that.
Thanks Eric I look forward to reading more of your stuff in the future.

Pasadena native Gilbert Gonzales, 35, is running for his first office in the 25th Senate district. The Republican candidate is running against incumbent Carol Liu (D-Pasadena) and Democratic candidate Ameenah Fuller.
Born in a migrant farmer family near Fresno, Gonzales graduated from Pitzer College and is currently the Director of Public Affairs and Government Relations for Vons/Safeway. His resume also includes extensive public service on community boards such as the Valley Economic Alliance Board of Directors, the Central City Association and the Pasadena Accessibility and Disability Commission.
Veteran Liu is favored to take one of the two open spots on the ballot for the 25th Senate district, which includes Glendora, San Dimas, Claremont, La Verne, La Canada Flintridge, Monrovia, San Marino and South Pasadena.
While Gonzales is running against two Democrats in a district that is majority Democratic, the moderate Gonzales remains confident in his chances in June 5 Primary.
Patch interviewed Gonzales by email and he explains why he believes he can effect the change California is looking for.
1. Why are you running for the 25th Senate district? What experiences has prepared you for the Senate?
I am running for the newly drawn 25th Senate District because our community and our state are facing a serious fiscal downturn and I can't stand idly by without doing my part to help.
My personal and professional experiences have prepared me well for this next step, and I am confident I have the tools to be successful.
While attending Pitzer College, I started an afterschool tutorial program for homeless children in the Ontario Montclair school district. After college, I created and ran a literacy program for incarcerated youth in the LA County Probation camps and the LA County Office of Education. The program, which is still running today, has been a great success and continues to increase the literacy levels while decreasing the recidivism rates on youth offenders. I understand the challenges our children and teachers face, and I've demonstrated that new ideas can create positive results. Doing more of the same simply doesn't work – a truism that is proven by the fact that our state's educational system ranks 48th in the nation.
We need to deal with a lot of these issues pragmatically, and it is imperative that the district have a representative that seeks solutions over ideology. Having worked as State Senator Bob Dutton Legislative Director in Sacramento, I have a solid foundation on how the state capitol works. I am proud of the fact that I was able to navigate the legislative process on a number of issues that required me to work closely with both sides of the aisle in reaching practical solutions.
Also, as a Senior Director for Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa in Los Angeles, I helped push policy at the local and state levels that resulted in attracting and retaining companies in the region.
2. What do you think has contributed to the state's current fiscal situation? What would you do to help with the state's recovery?
The answer to this question is, paradoxically, simple and complicated. It's simple because the causes of our current fiscal state are obvious. Our state government is spending more than we are taking in and our tax base is shrinking as companies and jobs leave the state. The math is simple, but the courage to do what it takes for Sacramento to "live within our means" to get us back on track is what's complicated.
My experience working in the office of Mayor Villaraigosa in Los Angeles put me at the center of sound policy and negotiation to ensure we attracted new businesses and retained successful businesses in the region.
3. What needs to be done to boost economic recovery in California?
In order to have long-term sustainable growth in our state we must not pass policies that will stifle business growth and results in further layoffs. The state must continue to work towards business-friendly policies that will attract investment into our state. Also the imposition of additional regulations and state mandates will further hamper business expansion and job growth in California. With sustainable growth, we will see a corresponding decrease in the jobless rate of our state, and this will get our state moving forward again.
4. Would you have an instrumental role as previous local representatives have had in bringing funds to the Gold Line extension project? Why or why not?
Yes. The voters approved Measure R because they support local public transportation projects and were willing to give up hard earned tax dollars to ensure that this project came to fruition. I stand with the voters and see the value in providing local public transportation projects for the district.
5. Schools have long struggled with dwindling state resources. How do you think the state should treat funding for public schools and higher education? What should be done to maintain quality education?
There are a number of proposals currently being discussed regarding school funding. It's important that we seek creative ways to increase funding for both K-12 education as well as higher education. Regarding maintaining quality education for K-12, I believe there needs to be a system in place to ensure data-driven accountability for schools, funding for achievement, school choice for families, as well as rewarding effective teachers in the classroom.
6. What specific issues would be a high priority for you if you were elected to Senate?
Education will be a top priority. It's important that we create ways to increase school funding for K-12 education, as well as higher education. The importance of funding should always be a non-partisan issue. I will work closely with others to provide practical solutions to our current fiscal crisis.

Documentary Film "No Woman, No Cry" Jan 10 at the Opera House
On Monday, January 10 at 6pm, at the Sun Valley Opera House, St. Luke's Wood River Foundation will present a talk by Dr. Thomas Burke on international women's health issues. Dr. Burke is the Chief of the Division of Global Health and Human Rights at Massachusetts General Hospital and is a senior faculty member at Harvard Medical School. His life's work focuses on transforming health care and human rights in vulnerable populations around the world, including Zambia, Liberia, Uganda, Mali, Kenya and Southern Sudan.
The evening will also feature "No Woman, No Cry," a documentary film directed by Christy Turlington-Burns. After delivering her first child, she suffered a serious complication, but was fortunate to receive prompt and competent care. "I was shocked to learn that more than 500,000 women die each year during childbirth—and 90% of these deaths are preventable."
Ms. Turlington-Burns is now enrolled in the Masters of Public Health program at Columbia University and has formed the organization, "Every Mother Counts." Her film tells the stories of four pregnant women: in Tanzania, Bangladesh, Guatemala—and in the United States, which ranks 17th in the world in safe childbirth for mothers, behind such countries as Croatia and Greece.
After the screening, Dr. Burke will be joined for a question and answer session by Arlene Samen, Founder and President of One Heart Worldwide, who has designed and implemented successful birthing models in China, Nepal, Mexico and Tibet.
The evening's presentation complements the work of St. Luke's Wood River Foundation to support women's health initiatives, as well as that of UNFPA (the United Nations Population Fund).
Dr. Burke has worked extensively with UNFPA and Ms. Turlington-Burns was recently honored by Americans for UNFPA.
The Fourth Annual Family of Woman Film Festival promoting the work of UNFPA will be held this February 18-20 at the NexStage Theatre in Ketchum. Films will include documentaries from Turkey, India and Iran, and discussion panels on the subject of women and the environment. Details can be found at: americansforunfpa.org.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - Branch County Road Commission manager Trent Arver today taking a pre-emptive approach in getting the word out on what to expect from his staff and road crews considering the weather forecast for this coming weekend. Wind speeds are expected to be sustained above 20 mph with gusts reaching up to 40 mph. Arver advises that road conditions will be hazardous with drifting snow and road crews will not be able to keep up with roads blowing shut. He also suggests that with dangerously low wind chills to please stay off the roads because in order for crews to do their work all roads need to be clear of stuck or stranded vehicles.
According to Arver, the expectation should be that you may get stuck in a snow bank on secondary roads if you're traveling tomorrow. Roads Saturday will likely blow shut with snow within 2 hours of being plowed. Please get your needed supplies for the weekend today, says Arver, concluding that the road commission will continue to keep the roads as safe as they can with the challenging weather.

UCD Veterinary Hospital
Ospidéal Tréidliachta UCD
UVH Externships
Currently available:
The University College Dublin Veterinary Hospital is a referral clinic built and outfitted with state of the art equipment in 2002 to meet the increasing demand for specialised, integrated veterinary care. Within Large Animal Surgery (LAS) horses are the principle species treated but a variety of farm and occasional exotic animals are also evaluated. Within Equine Medicine (EM) a wide variety of neurologic, respiratory, ophthalmologic, gastrointestinal, muscular, infectious, haematologic, renal and endocrine disorders are investigated as well as poor performance evaluations (treadmill exams) in conjunction with LAS. A wide variety of surgical procedures (soft tissue surgery, fracture repair, arthroscopy, laparoscopy) are carried out in LAS as well as in-depth lameness evaluations. The primary goal of the externship is to give the student an in-depth exposure to the field of equine medicine and large animal surgery. Externs are required to assist the UVH Interns with treatment of hospital cases and to assist clinicians in diagnostic and therapeutic care of hospitalised cases, out-patients and emergency referrals.
Equine Medicine and Large Animal Surgery Externship Goals
- Development of handling and physical examination skills of horses including lameness evaluations
- Development of basic problem–solving and decision making skills
- Development of diagnostic and differential diagnosis skills
- Exposure to the management of a variety of medical and surgical cases including intensive care
- Exposure to basic surgical procedures and techniques
- Use of isolation facilities and bio-security principles
- Exposure to the reproductive examination of the broodmare
Students working within the Equine Medicine and Large Animal Surgery sections are encouraged to take responsibility for their own cases and should be involved in all aspects of case management.
The basic responsibilities of an extern is the same as a final year UCD veterinary student and consists of evaluating and treating hospitalised cases as well as assisting in the admission and evaluation of out-patient and emergency cases. Under the supervision of an Intern, the extern will be able to administer oral, intravenous, intramuscular and subcutaneous medications, draw blood for routine blood work, monitor intensive care cases, administer fluids and prepare patients for clinical procedures.
Morning and afternoon treatments consist of physical examinations and medication administration. Externs are scheduled for after-hours treatments and emergency service.
1. Active learning – get involved – ask questions – make the most of your externship
2. Patient care and case management:
- Daily care of your assigned cases is your responsibility under the direction of a clinician.
- Treat every single one of your cases as if you were the sole person responsible for it – do not rely on the clinicians to pick up problems but do a thorough complete physical exam on all your cases in the hospital at least twice daily, try to make your own diagnostic and treatment plan to discuss with the clinicians and be active in your case's care.
- Do not enact any treatment or diagnostic procedure without direction from the clinician.
- You are responsible for all treatments on your cases from 8.00 am until 6.00 pm – this includes administration of medication (under supervision of interns or residents where necessary), examinations, blood draws, catheter flushes, preparing and hanging of intravenous fluids (with an intern/resident) etc. If you are busy in surgery during these hours, it is your responsibility to ascertain that one of your colleagues is taking care of your patients for you!
3. Patient Admission
- Take a history (including vaccination history, especially Tetanus).
- Complete a thorough physical exam (including body weight).
- Take an active part in the patient's diagnostic work–up and treatment planning.
4. Hospital Rounds
- Each morning at 8.30am a hospital round is held to discuss the cases in the hospital and their diagnostic/treatment plan. Again, in the late afternoon around 5pm, a shorter round is held to discuss important findings of the day and to make a plan for the intensive care patients overnight.
5. Surgery
- Where the situation permits, you will have the opportunity to scrub into surgeries performed on your patients.
- Responsibilities include assistance in preparation of the surgical patient, assisting in induction, surgical preparation, intra-operative assistance.
Externships will be awarded on a first come, first serve basis. To get the most out of your externship a minimum duration of two consecutive weeks is mandatory. A week's Externship will run from 8am Monday morning to 8am on the following Monday which would cover on call duties. Please check the available dates below and submit your choice of dates via email. If available, the space will be reserved and you will receive a confirmation.
To qualify for the externship you must be a veterinary student in your 3rd year or higher (priority will be given to final or 4th year veterinary students). You must also have good fluency in both written and spoken English.
Graduated veterinarians cannot apply for the externship.
Please include a current curriculum vitae and a statement of pertinent experience in your email application. To apply please email email@example.com.
You will get confirmation of the clinical experience but no formal grades.
You will be expected to arrange travel and accommodation yourself and must ensure that you carry appropriate insurance.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call ++353 (0)1 716 6060 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Dates available 2014:
- 28th April - 25th May 2014 (4 weeks available)
We look forward to working with you!

DO NOT LIVE HERE! Despite the increases in raising our rent twice within the year, we had initially felt the office staff were friendly and supportive. Then my wife and I, with our 8 month old baby experienced a break in and theft. Very concerned about this activity within my complex, I asked Lydia, the complex manager, what they were doing to raise awareness to the other residents. She said they would put some security tips in the monthly flyer. Security tips! Hello, the dead bolt on my door was busted through and my belongings were taken. What if my wife and baby were home. Wouldn't you want to inform people for their safety and awareness, Immediately! Maybe ask residents and grounds crew, immediately, if they had seen any strangers or suspicious activity Tuesday between hours of 10AM-4PM, the time of the break-in. Lydia informed me that they would not want to create alarm for the residents. I explained I thought I lived in a secured apartment. For now rent that has climbed to $2600/month-1 bedroom, you would think so. Lydia informed me, that "I should know that no place is secured". That if I had a home it wouldn't be secure either and asked me how I think it would be different. I stated that first of all, neighbors would communicate suspicious activity, especially in the event of a burglary. Neighbors would WANT to "create alarm" so others could prepare accordingly or take measures of prevention, like back-up their pictures of their newborn baby, recent files, or install better hardware on their doors instead of the cheap easily busted dead bolts currently in use, and even security videos if needed. Lydia then informed me that I should have known to back up my pictures that is common knowledge. Great, thanks for that Security Tip! Evidently they are good at those! Lydia also stated that she had meetings that I did not attend, in fact no one attended and that they had put flyers out. Neither my wife or I were aware of these. When I asked if I could see one of the flyers, Lydia said no I couldn't see one but they would email it to me. This conversation happened after going to the office to offer a professional courtesy to inform them I would be posting a negative review of their lack of action taken in this incident. As I voiced my frustration and this dialogue occurred Lydia stated I was threatening in my tone. I apologized and closed the conversation. As i was leaving through the door she stated, "and don't come in here threatening me with yelp". Unfortunately, like me, not all residents read yelp reviews. Lesson learned. My wife and I have given our notice. We will live in a hotel before we continue living here.

Nice place on the surface, but did not enjoy our stay. - We were the first people to move into a newly renovated unit. We both work long hours and I spent most of the nights at my girlfriend's place. Yet, somehow the place pretty much fell apart (worn kitchen floor, started to bubble up, sink fixtures become loose, etc.) - Management is slow. When we moved in, they promised covered parking for my roommate and me. We had a year lease and they made 0 progress on it, but told us "about a month" every time we inquired. Additionally, the (contracted) facilities folks scratched my car with their leaf blower and they were useless in resolving the issue. We were also surprised by all the cleaning fees at the end, though we both cleaned the place top to bottom (and, as I mentioned, barely lived in it). - BEWARE THE CROWS. They never shut up, they poop everywhere (and the bill for the hot water they use to clean the parking lot every day is shared amongst residents), and ruined the clear coat on my car.

While living in the apartment, we had issues with the staples coming up through the flooring, the dishwasher falling off the wall, the dryer vents being consistently clogged and the washer/dryer unit falling through the floor. We knew we would be moving at the end of the year so we tried to deal with our issues professionally. Unfortunately at move-out, we were charged for cleaning the spotless apartment, painting over the patched nail holes, and doing a pet enzyme that had just been done. The full experience was difficult with a very disappointing conclusion. DO NOT RENT, its just not worth the difficulties.

Lived here for little over a year and overall not satisfied. The complex has a nice feel with all the vegetation and the maintenance staff is very good. However the complex is pretty old and it shows in the layout of the units. There is a huge crow problem. I haven't experienced anything like it before. They are extremely noisy as they wake up at 5:30 AM and roost around dusk. Make sure to walk briskly to your apartment to avoid being bombed by the crows, yes it's happened to everyone here as well as some of my guests. Also be prepared to wash your car once a week as these crows also will defecate all over them, which is extremely bad for your paint. Some parking spots are worst than others, however there have been times where I get in the morning and I can't see out my front windshield. Also there is insect problems and I had to deal with roach problem. I would have to replace my roach traps at least once a month as they would fill up. There are also the more than occasional spider and earwig but those aren't that bad. Overall I DON'T recommend this place and only lived here as it was close to work.

Location is good.. but not good for the price you pay.. I had very bad experience while moving out. and also while moving in again for the second time.. They gave me not ready apartment and we signed the lease.. Bathroom was not clean, bath tub not cleaned properly.. If you wipe against the bath tub, you could see the dust in your hand.. Its just one complaint. but there are couple more... I would say better not to move in.. The prices are really hiked .. and not worth the money...

WASHINGTON (WHTC) - The White House has ramped up the pressure on "Republican Congressmen" to compromise ahead of Friday's scheduled "sequester." The Obama Administration on Sunday released state-by-state breakdowns of what the 85 billion-dollar, across-the-board spending cut would mean to "jobs and middle-class families."
In remarks to WHTC News, House Representative Bill Huizenga of Zeeland takes a different tack in asking what would happen if the sequester or other "responsible" spending cuts doesn't take place on Friday. He believes that the American public wants more responsible, effective federal government. Fellow Republican Fred Upton of St. Joseph is thinking beyond the sequester in seeking a balanced budget in 10 years, but admits that it will come with some sacrifice. That sacrifice includes a proposed pay freeze for all federal employees through year's end, which cleared the Lower Chamber 10 days ago, that would save about 11 billion dollars over the next decade.
The latest remarks from both Congressmen are available in the WHTC News portion of the webcast section on this website.
