Roof Safety Covers
All building owners have a duty of care to ensure workers who need to access a roof are safe and yet if the roof lights are not cleaned on a regular basis they can become indistinguishable from the roof surface which inevitably increases the risk of accidents. Likewise, if roof lights are old they may become brittle and will break very easily if someone stands on them.
Harcon Services can supply and install a fully tested solution to the problems that roof lights create for working at height.

Benefits of an Outside Consultant
These are valid concerns, but shouldn't preempt the idea of hiring someone with specific expertise to help you. This is especially true when you first start your business. If you get off on the wrong foot, it may cost you a lot more in the long run if an expert could have helped you avoid problems to begin with.
It's like a golfer who doesn't takes lessons and never learns to swing the club properly. Bad habits turn into a bad golf game that becomes very difficult and expensive to correct later on. Some money wisely spent in the beginning would have prevented those bad habits and provided a very high payoff in the end. The same is true in business.
Cosmetic Legislation - Federal Legislative Update
On March 27, 2012 there was an Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health hearing, "Examining the Current State of Cosmetics".
It was my pleasure to testify to the subcommittee on behalf of the Handmade Soap and Cosmetic Industry.
The hearing lasted just over two hours and overall, it went very well. Questions were fair and the witnesses appeared passionately honest. Most everyone was in agreement that cosmetics are of the safest products regulated by the FDA. Recent concerns with the "Brazilian Blowout" were due misbranded and mislabeled products. Small business needs received considerable support from both sides of the aisle!!

The contract formalizes the Fellowship Program relationship between the university and WMI, official medical provider for the Summer and Winter Dew Tour events. Several WSU students and alumni have received training and worked for WMI at Dew Tour competitions since 2007. The contract also calls for WSU faculty and graduate students to be involved in research into Dew Tour athletes' injuries.
At a typical Dew Tour summer tour stop, extreme-sports athletes perform tricks and stunts on skateboards, bicycles and motorcycles. That means WSU students working for WMI are exposed to a volume, variety and seriousness of athletic injuries far worse than at a "regular" sports event.
"It's great training for them because they have to deal with trauma in sports anyway, but you could work in football for 10 years and maybe see one cervical spine injury, one subdural hematoma, a really nasty concussion, and one or two organ lacerations. And there (at the Dew Tour), they're going to get several of those in a four-day period," said Valerie Herzog, WSU associate athletic training professor and director of the Graduate Athletic Training Program. "So the students get amazing experience managing trauma. It's a way of preparing a whole new crew of medical staff to deal with new types of injuries."
Students also face the challenge of providing advanced emergency care in sometimes-extreme conditions. Herzog recalls one student at a winter event who had to manage an athlete suffering with a cervical spine injury, convulsions, unconsciousness and vomiting, all while trying to keep both from sliding down the steep, snow-covered hill.
In addition to the event medical care, students are among physicians, chiropractors, physical therapists and athletic trainers participating in daily morning training sessions at Dew Tour stops.
A new element of the WSU-WMI relationship is WMI opening its injury databases to WSU faculty and graduate students as it looks for ways to prevent athlete injuries. "We are very fortunate to have access to such a rich source of data," Herzog said.
WSU's involvement will include measuring various biomarkers in the blood following concussions, evaluating the mechanisms of injury through video analysis, and epidemiology on organ lacerations, concussions and cervical spine injuries. If enough research is completed in time, WSU representatives might present their findings at a WMI conference next year in South Africa, and the research could lead to improvements in the design of helmets or other protective equipment. The ultimate goal is to help athletes prevent serious injuries "so they can have a good quality of life beyond the age of 30," Herzog said.
The Dew Tour activities are among options for athletic training students to complete a service-learning component of their WSU degree program. Herzog has made a habit of calling organizers of events coming to Utah — figure skating championships, winter and summer Xterra competitions, marathons, triathlons, Special Olympics — to see if WSU students can help, and learn.
WSU student Eli Kassab said he jumped at the Dew Tour opportunity and was able to network with industry experts, build up his resume and references list, and assess and treat "athletes who are on a ramp, all twisted up."
A senior in the athletic training program, Kassab has worked at the Dew Tour since summer 2010, with two summer tour stops and one winter event.
"As far as athletic training goes, it really prepares you for the emergency response aspect of it," said Kassab, of Los Angeles. "With the Dew Tour, you have athletes who are 20 feet in the air who come down on their head. You don't really get a basketball player who comes down that far. This experience is very unique for an athletic trainer to have because you don't get that sort of experience just doing football, basketball or baseball."
Herzog described the WSU-WMI relationship as a "win-win." It allows students to gain medical care training, build their networks and enhance their resumes and job opportunities — for example, one WSU graduate is now a full member of the WMI staff. Meanwhile, WMI gains some extra manpower, and WSU's Athletic Training Education Program gains "a level of prestige," Herzog said.
"Half or more of our graduate students come from out of state, and they want to know what's different here. We've got internships and affiliations with the Dew Tour, Real Salt Lake, Major League Soccer, Minor League Baseball teams, club and varsity sports, high school sports, the chance to see orthopedic surgeries and work with athletic trainers who work for orthopedic surgeons," she said. "This just adds to the package of 'look at all you can do here at Weber State.' There are amazing opportunities for students to grow, mature and become a professional and leave with amazing resumes and varied experience."
WSU's Department of Health Promotion and Human Performance offers both undergraduate and graduate programs in athletic training. Both serve as educational routes to eligibility for certification.
In addition to the Dew Tour, Colorado-based WMI provides medical and rescue services at boat races, BMX events, Mui Thai boxing tournaments, volleyball tournaments and water skiing championships. It has fellowship, residency and medical professional training operations programs with several universities, including Brown University, UCLA, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Utah.

In their first legislative collaboration, Mayor de Blasio and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito are set to announce a significant expansion of legislation passed last year to provide workers with paid sick leave.
The two will hold a press conference in Brooklyn Friday to reveal their proposal, expected to cover an additional 300,000 New Yorkers.
The announcement will be made at Esmeralda's Restaurant in Bushwick.
Under current law, enacted in June, employees of businesses with 20 or more workers will get up to five sick days a year beginning in April 2014.
A new law is expected to require that businesses with at least five employees provide five sick days a year.
De Blasio made the expansion a major plank of his mayoral campaign, and is proving he means business by also making it the first measure that he and his handpicked speaker will push.
Critics of the law said that government should leave sick-day arrangements to workers and bosses, and that the requirement will burden small businesses.


text: GRANGER -- With 120 cats and 25 dogs in residence, Mishawaka's Pet Refuge is crowded, and as winter approaches, the overpopulation problem most likely will get worse. "We get lots of calls on new kittens and strays this time of year," said Bonnie Richardson, vice president of Pet Refuge Inc., an animal shelter. Year after year, experts urge owners to have their animals spayed or neutered, but each year, shelters still overflow with homeless cats and dogs. To counter the problem, Pet Refuge and Kryder Veterinary Clinic in Granger will host Spay Day on Oct. 15, in which owners can have their pets spayed or neutered for a low cost. "I think a lot of people don't get their pets spayed because of the cost," said Richardson. "It can be hard for people who need financial assistance." Part of Spay Day's mission is to make the operation more affordable, she said. For cats, it will cost $5, and for dogs, it will cost $10. "The operation cuts down on pets roaming the streets, and it's healthier for them, too," said Lori Wharton, a registered veterinary technician at Kryder. "It cuts down on mammary tumors in females and testicular tumors in males." Wharton said three or four veterinarians will be on hand to perform the Spay Day surgeries. Each operation takes about 20 minutes, and the pets recover in a few hours. Volunteers from Pet Refuge assist in caring for the pets. The event will be the second Spay Day this year. On Feb. 12, Pet Refuge and Kryder held the first Spay Day as a part of Spay Day USA, a national movement urging owners to have their pets spayed or neutered. Richardson said 73 cats and 24 dogs were part of the first Spay Day. This time around, organizers hope to have 100 cats and 30 dogs at the event. Wharton said she hopes the event will push pet owners who "just haven't gotten around" to having their pet spayed. "We've tried to make it convenient for people to drop off and pick up their pets, so everyone can filter in easily," she said.

Plan of Salvation T-Shirt for Ladies is size S , and is Scarlet in color. This popular LDS t-shirt makes a great gift for sister missionaries, mothers, young women, and Seminary Teachers! Missionaries love our Mormon tees for P-day.
Women's Sizing Note
Please note that our women's tees are fitted, and they may run a little small. Women's sizing is more like junior's sizing.
About the Graphic
This simple graphic represents Heavenly Father's Plan of Happiness. or Plan of Salvation. Think of it as a timeline of our progress through eternity. It offers simple answers to profound questions: Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going?
The first circle on the left is the pre-existence or premortal life, where we lived as spirits with God, our Heavenly Father.
The first line is birth and also represents a veil of forgetfulness that prevents us from remembering life with Heavenly Father.
During life on Earth (where we are now * you are here), we gain a physical body and are here to prove our willingness to exercise faith in Jesus Christ and obey God's commandments.
When we die, our spirits move to the Spirit World (the split circle) where we wait in Paradise or Spirit Prison for the Resurrection and the Final Judgement (the last two lines).
We believe that God will reward us fairly according to our works and our desires. We will be assigned to one of three kingdoms or degrees of glory, the celestial, terrestrial and telestial kingdoms.
Those who repent, receive the ordinances of the gospel and keep sacred covenants will be cleansed by the Atonement of Christ and receive exaltation in the highest kingdom, the celestial kingdom. They will live in God's presence, become like Him and receive a fullness of joy.
The small dot at the bottom is outer darkness, is a place of misery reserved for Satan and his followers.

Teenagers are old enough to take control of their health. After learning about the findings from a recent study conducted by Professor Peter Nordström and his team at Umeå University in Sweden, it may be a good idea for teens to get involved in martial arts classes or some other aerobic activity.
The research found a direct correlation between a person's fitness as a teenager and the risk of having a heart attack 30 to 40 years down the road. In fact, when studying 743,498 Swedish men, Nordström's research revealed that every 15 percent increase in aerobic fitness was linked to an roughly 18 percent reduced risk of a heart attack. In addition, regular cardiovascular training for teens was associated with an approximately 35 percent lower risk of suffering from an early heart attack.
"Our findings suggest that high aerobic fitness in late adolescence may reduce the risk of heart attack later in life," Nordström said. "Our study suggests that it's more important not to be overweight or obese than to be fit, but that it's even better to be both fit and a normal weight."
Staying active helps teens fight heart attacks
Nordström and his team demonstrated that teens who get themselves involved in exercise and work to improve their physical fitness could be setting themselves up for fewer health risks later in life. While this study isn't definitive in the matter, it can certainly be a wake-up call for teens who are allowing their physical health to slip away.
"Further studies are needed to investigate the clinical relevance of these findings, but given the strong association that we have found, the low cost and easy accessibility of cardiovascular training, and the role of heart disease as a major cause of illness and death worldwide, these results are important with respect to public health," Nordström said.
Teens should look to participate in martial arts
Heart attacks can be a scary thought for teens, and they may be able to reduce the odds that they suffer from one by staying active and exercising regularly. Martial arts classes could be just the thing that keeps teens off the couch and maintaining proper exercise levels. Here are a few reasons why martial arts are a good idea for teens:
- Reduce stress levels: High school, parents, relationships and many other factors can cause a lot of stress in a teen's life. Martial arts classes can allow them to adjust to all of that and have a support group they can lean on with any of their problems. Training also forces people to clear their minds and focus on their techniques.
- Improve physical fitness: While many martial arts classes teach self-defense techniques, that doesn't mean that participants aren't put through strenuous exercise. Teens in martial arts classes should expect strength, flexibility and muscle building exercises that result in a full-body workout.
- Better self-esteem: The teenage years can be tough for many, resulting in reduced self-esteem. Taking martial arts classes can alleviate this problem. During training, teens will constantly have their character tested as they overcome barriers to advance their skills.

A reductive list like 'Top Five Jazz Albums of All Time' or 'Your 100 Greatest Classical Melodies' is, depending on your point of view, either a great way of distilling your tastes and crystallising them into yielding a clear outcome, or a fruitless exercise that's unnecessarily limiting and pretty pointless. I tend to move between the two: sometimes I think it's an instructive way of working out what or whom I admire and why, whereas at other times I think "Well, I can have all those albums on my mp3 player anyway, so why bother choosing ?'
Today, I'm in the former mood, if only because it allows me to leap to the defence of a jazz guitarist who, I think, often gets eclipsed in such days of list-making mania.
If challenged, I would say that the top three jazz guitarists currently playing are (in no particular order), John Scofield, Bill Frisell and Pat Metheny. Of course, 'great' as an adjective also embraces popular and commerical success, as well as 'list-maker thinks they are fantastic.'
But I'd like to make a plea for replacing Pat Metheny with John Abercrombie. For me, Abercrombie is a marvellously under-rated player, with eloquent melodic lines, wonderful dexterity and a lithe improvisatory feel. This is not to say that Metheny isn't also blessed with these skills, as he clearly is. But for me, there's just something a little too saccharine about a large chunk of Metheny's output, a little too much Californian sunshine. I like Bright Size Life and the second, slightly more esoteric, of his Works albums on the ECM label; but there's an awful lot that is too sickly-sweet for me.
Facing West
Every Summer Night
If I were to replace Metheny in the top three with John Abercrombie, I would then have to work out why I hadn't included such luminaries as John McLaughlin and Ralph Towner, and then start weighing up the relative commercial appeal of each against the other, before throwing up my hands in frustration and gravitating to the 'utterly pointless and fruitless / all on my mp3 player' argument.
Here's Abercrombie playing with Ralph Towner (having my cake and eating it ?) on the excellent Sargasso Sea.
It's a tricky one. Who would you pick, if challenged to undertake such a useful / pointless (delete as appropriate) task ?

Michael Pollan's beautifully written, eye-opening new book already has me thinking about everything I put into my mouth. Clearly, this is an important, even a ground-breaking book. The Omnivore's Dilemma is much more than just an indictment of industrial food systems, or our treatment of animals, though. That's what other reviewers are concentrating on, and they're right. What I took away from this book, though, was just how thoughtless we have become about what we feed ourselves. More than anything else, Pollan's book is a plea for us to stop and think for a moment about our whole process of eating. Just as we get the political leaders we deserve, we also get the food we deserve. Pay attention!

I just started experimenting with a half deck in elo. I was assuming it should be about 50% 2/2 (2 cards from each clan I mean). In 48 fights I've only gotten 2/2 11 times, or about 23%. I know 48 isn't a large sample but it's consistently hovering around 21%. Is there some card selection process I don't know about, or am I just having bad beginner's luck?
ghelas Titan E X C A L I B U R Wednesday 10/10/2012, 07:13
It should be about 50% 2/2, so you may very well just be having a run of bad luck. Keep in mind that this can happen every once in a while, and try to build a deck where base stats and abilities are good enough so that a card without bonus isn't rendered useless.

Apparently it's 51.4%

Remember if you opp has Higher/ Lower star'ed hand you get a hand star'ed around it
So if your high star'ed are one clan and low on the other this will vary your results
Frowns Imperator At the End of the World Wednesday 10/10/2012, 20:06
First off, we find the number of possible combinations in an eight card deck. Since order doesn't matter and since a card can't be picked twice, we find the binomial distribution and get:
Where n is the number of cards in a deck ( and k is the number of cards in a hand (4):
Number of combinations = n!/(k!(n-k)!) = 8!/(4!(8-4)!)
Now, we need to know the amount of combinations that add up to two cards from each clan. Once again, we find the binomial distribution but this time with the number of cards in one hand (4) and the number of cards from one specific clan in a 2/2 hand (2).
Number of combinations = n!/(k!(n-k)!) = 4!/(2!(4-2)!) = 6
But remember: For each of the six combinations in one clan, there are also six possible combination for the other clan. For this reason, we square 6.
6^2 = 36
We divide the number of 2/2 hands by the total number of hands and get:
36/70 = 0.514 = 51.4%
Statistics are fun
Memento Mori Titan Open Casket Thursday 11/10/2012, 02:46
If you save your deck as a preset you can find out all those statistics.
DeepEnd Guru Limit Break Friday 12/10/2012, 11:12
Mathematical chance is supposing there is no bias towards selection but it its totally random.
Since we are not certain if there is bias we cannot use mathematical model, but have to rely on repeated tests.
Thats why rivalry01 brought this up, UR does NOT promise that draws are made purely of luck, therefore to test against bias you need real tests and not mathematical theory.
ghelas Titan E X C A L I B U R Friday 12/10/2012, 17:59
Occam's Razor, ladies and gents. UR staff chose to display the odds that are based purely on luck on preset pages. It makes the most sense, then, that the draws are indeed based on luck.
KillerYuri Hero Saturday 13/10/2012, 01:28
I find it strange that sometimes I drew exactly the same decks in a row. Is it just me?

Over at the Daily Caller, I provide a primer on why government spending doesn't "stimulate" the economy over the short-run or the long-run.
I look at the huge size of government spending in the United States, and I review the effects of recent stimulus efforts.
Then I describe the government's "leaky bucket," which explains why spending harms the economy in the long run, whether or not there are any short-run stimulus effects.
With America heading rapidly toward a spending-fueled debt crisis, these certainly are the times the try men's souls. Nonetheless, please have a Happy Fourth!

6 ways to bring luxury to your beauty routine

6 ways to bring luxury to your beauty routine
Posh pads
Dollar store cotton pads should be reserved to whisk away chipped nail polish. When it comes to your complexion, plush, lint-free cotton is the only way to go, whether to remove eye makeup, apply toner or cleanse with micellar water. Quality and shape of the cotton pad is key - they shouldn't have rough edges and they should be lint-free. "For me its all about how soft the cotton is," says Coleen Campbell-Olwell, an L.A.-based makeup artist who works with Kate Mara and Orange is The New Black star Laura Prepon. "I love Koh Gen Doh Cotton. It's 100% cotton, unbleached and natural. I also love a less expensive one called Swisspers - they are so big so they are more suitable for face makeup removal but the are soft and with no rough edges."
ELLE Canada pick: Shiseido Facial Cotton, $11. At Shoppers Drug Mart and The Bay.
Brow beat
When you want to shade in sparse spots on your eyebrows, avoid shimmer as it can highlight patchiness. "A matte eyeshadow palette is the most versatile," says Julie Cusson, Chanel makeup artist, who's a fan of having several complimentary matte hues in one palette since that allows you to create depth and natural-looking "hairs." "Dampen an angled brow brush, dip in powder and you can sketch lines that look like real hair," she says adding that matte shadow, when it's wet grips on to each individual hair so you get longer wear.
ELLE Canada pick: Chanel Le Sourcil de Chanel Perfect Brows, $73. Available at Holt Renfrew and The Bay.
Complexion perfection
For skin that's got a Millennial model-worthy glow, cocktail your makeup base with skincare. "For a more natural look, mix BB cream with highlighter rather than foundation," says L.A-based makeup artist Hinako who works with Leighton Meester. She suggests putting a dab of BB cream in your palm, adding liquid highlighter, and mixing with your finger. "You can check how much dew and glow is right for you by adding more or less highlighter," says Hinako, who encourages experimentation because everyone's skin is different. (And, just like a cocktail, each person likes theirs mixed a certain way. Cheers!)
ELLE Canada pick: Vichy Idéalia BB Cream, $37, at drugstores, and Josie Maran Enlightenment Luminizer, $31 (exclusively at Sephora).
Tool upgrade
"One of the fastest ways to up your luxury beauty game is with brushes and tools," says New York-based Troy Surratt, makeup artist and founder of Surratt Beauty. Natural bristle brushes will yield the best results and last forever if you care for them properly (gently cleansing in baby shampoo will do it). "Buy the softest brushes that you can find. The daily ritual of applying your makeup should be a delicate and sensual experience."
ELLE Canada pick: Bobbi Brown 6-piece Basics Brush Collection, $220. Available at Holt Renfrew and bobbibrowncosmetics.ca
Designer lips
Who doesn't feel like a boss swiping on colour from a Chanel-stamped lipstick bullet? " I like to think that a woman should own at least one Chanel lipstick some point in her life," says Campell-Olwell. "Not because of the name, but the quality. They are simply gorgeous."
ELLE Canada pick: Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick in Emilienne, $42. At Chanel counters.
Oil indulgence
Taking the time to massage your face with an oil is like therapy for your skin. Use a drop or two in your moisturizer or alone as a treatment - it can really make you feel like you've got a standing appointment with a French facialist (even if it is in your own bathroom). Not only are they highly concentrated with good-for-skin ingredients like argan oil, but they often can double as a dose of aromatherapy due to their fragrance. "Facial oils hydrate your skin and add firmness and elasticity," says Hinako. "I like massaging facial oils into moist skin for best results and I sometimes mix them with foundation to create super radiant and dewy skin."
ELLE Canada pick: Tarte Cosmetics Maracuja Oil, $55. Tartecosmetics.com

America to become Japan?
It already is--and has been--Japan for a number of years. The economy is adding jobs extremely slowly. Everything is stuck is slo-mo except the stock market--which is bouncing like a Superball. If Obama is re-elected, then it could get interesting.
If a conservative wins in 2012, then another crash is possible. It will depend who controls Congress. If conservatives control Congress, then a crash is virtually a certainty.
Boomers buying short-term Treasuries is no surprise.

Here I sit recuperation from a small surgery yesterday. And remembering all the heroes that have fought for us in the many wars. I had two great uncles on my grammas side that fought bravely for us. Uncle Allan was killed just days before he was to come home. And his brother Wes made it home only to drown shortly after. My thoughts go out to all the soldiers still station in war zones. May you make it home safely to your awaiting families.
Here is another card using the polaroid frame from Stamping Bella. This time I put in a little bird from Penny Black. The bird was colored with watercolor pencils. Distress ink was used for the blue in the background. The red paper was spritzed with a mist of blue pearl x, although this is hard to see in the pic.
keep remembering

Johnson & Johnson Buys Pfizer Consumer Brands
Tuesday, June 27, 2006
TRENTON, N.J., June 26 -- Johnson & Johnson said Monday it is buying Pfizer Inc.'s consumer health-care unit for $16.6 billion in a nearly all-cash deal that would strongly boost the health and personal care products company's smallest division.
The purchase would give New Brunswick, N.J.-based Johnson & Johnson products including Listerine, Visine, Neosporin and Lubriderm to add to its stable of name brands such as Reach toothbrushes, Acuvue contact lenses, Band-Aid plastic first-aid strips and Neutrogena skin care products. It also would see nonprescription Pfizer drugs such as Sudafed, Zantac and Nicorette join its Tylenol, Motrin and Monistat brands, nearly doubling current over-the-counter drug revenues.
Pfizer plans to buy back up to $17 billion in shares, including up to $7 billion this year and $10 billion in 2007.
Pfizer had been reviewing its strategic options for the division, which reported sales of $3.9 billion in 2005, since February so it could focus on its prescription drug business.
Johnson & Johnson chief executive William C. Weldon said such strong products rarely come on the market. He said the deal helps the company stick to its strategy of keeping a balanced portfolio among its three segments. With the acquisition, prescription drugs and the medical devices and diagnostics business will account for 40 percent and 35 percent of revenues, respectively, and consumer products will jump from 18 percent last year to 25 percent.
The deal comes after Johnson & Johnson lost an intense bidding war to rival Boston Scientific, which acquired heart-device maker Guidant Corp. for $27 billion in April. Weldon said his company "had the discipline to step out" when the price got too high, but that the loss of Guidant was unrelated to the Pfizer deal.
Independent pharmaceuticals analyst Hemant Shah said Johnson & Johnson paid a "scarcity premium" for the rare assets to beat out competitors, doling out more than four times the annual revenues of the Pfizer unit. It was "the highest I've ever seen for consumer products," he said.
"This will make them by far the largest" consumer health company, Shah said, with a very stable new business with steady mid-single-digit growth likely as long as J&J invests enough in advertising and product updates and spinoffs.
Johnson & Johnson, which had $50.51 billion in 2005 revenue, will also acquire the U.S. over-the-counter switch rights to the prescription non-sedating antihistamine Zyrtec upon patent expiration.
Weldon said that Johnson & Johnson will cover the purchase mainly with approximately $17 billion of cash on hand and some short-term borrowing.
The deal, which was approved by the boards of both companies, is subject to shareholder and U.S., European and Canadian regulatory approval. It is expected to close by year-end and boost Johnson & Johnson's earnings in 2009. The company's executives said that by 2009, they expect to see $500 million to $600 million in annual savings from eliminating overlap.
Pfizer, meanwhile, should see about $13.5 billion of the $16.6 billion purchase price after taxes, and expects about $34 billion in cash flow over the next 30 months. Vice Chairman David L. Shedlarz said in an interview that the company's primary goal is to reinvest at least half of that on developing and acquiring new therapies.
"It's a deal of contradiction because one company [Pfizer] thinks that the way to go is away from diversification," Shah said. "The other company [Johnson & Johnson] is diversifying away from pharmaceuticals."
Weldon said the deal won't affect Johnson & Johnson's $5 billion share repurchase plan, announced earlier this year and already more than 40 percent complete.
Pfizer shares closed 37 cents, or 1.6 percent, higher at $23.13 each, while Johnson & Johnson stock fell $1.11, or 1.8 percent, to $60.21 a share.

I have this habit of inviting people over in an impromptu kind of way.
It's important to me to be able to entertain spontaneously, to not get all wrapped up in the finer points but rather focus on the food, the people and the fun. Maybe my desire to push the agenda of care-free entertaining stems from growing up with a mother who couldn't invite her best friends over without three weeks notice, a printed menu and polished silver. Don't get me wrong, it's fun to throw those kinds of parties too, but really I believe that we should all be able to gather easily around the table, without worrying too much about ceremony or how clean the house is. Those parties are a lot more fun and a lot less stressful.
Sometimes the people I live with get a little tired of the spontaneous invitations I throw around, because the truth is I haven't completely let go of the need for at least a tidy house, and maybe even pressed napkins. That means they get enlisted to do the jobs in a last-minute kind of way (read: mom is just a little tense for about an hour before the guests arrive). As a footnote, I am proud to be raising kids who will know how to give a party and ask "what can I do next" when someone needs that kind of help.
So I did it again last weekend. We were out to dinner with some customers with whom we have become friendly over the years. Whenever we go to Atlanta, we stay with them. Since they were in our town for the weekend, we spent the evening with them – first at our Wine Bar and then to Nick's for dinner. While we were at dinner they mentioned that they had gone chanterelle hunting that day and since they were staying in a hotel they couldn't really use the mushrooms they'd collected, would we like to have them? Yes of course, I jumped at the chance for fresh chanterelles, they're so lovely. But then I felt that it was only appropriate to reciprocate their generosity and invite them to enjoy the fruits of their labor with us. "I'll make chanterelle risotto!" I said, as I invited them to dinner the next night.
When I woke in the morning I shook my head at myself a bit. These folks are very nice, but they (or at least she) are not very laid back. They live in a grand home in a posh neighborhood in Atlanta. And since I've stayed there I know it is impeccably well-kept. Ours is not. They don't have children and even though she taught school once upon a time, I've never thought them the type who would be very comfortable with kids. We have three. Three big, noisy kids. We recently remodeled our basement to include a rec room for those kids, but I'm not quite finished painting it yet. Their basement houses a temperature-controlled wine cellar with thousands of precious bottles, all catalogued in a complex computer software program designed just for the purpose.
So you can see why I might be feeling somewhat more apprehensive than usual about having these folks over. I didn't really regret inviting them, but I knew I was going to have to hustle to get our house clean enough to not feel embarrassed about it, and do the shopping and the cooking. So much for that laissez-faire entertaining!
The first thing I did was invite a few wine geeky friends to join us. Rob and I thought it would be fun to bring in some new folks to meet this couple. Plus it helps to have more people around to carry the conversation if I'm going to be distracted in the kitchen. Which I would be, since I had promised them risotto.
Then I planned the menu. I knew the cornerstones of it would be Roasted Chicken (it was Sunday night after all, and Roasted Chicken is our tradition for Sunday) and the chanterelle risotto.
The rest of it shaped up like this:
Salmon Rillettes with Crostini
Roasted Chicken
Chanterelle Risotto
Roasted Broccoli with Lemon & Parmesan
Roasted Beets
Cheese, Sliced Pears and Membrillo
I have been thinking about hors d'oeurves lately, since I feel like my usual repertoire needs a shot in the arm. I pinned a few recipes earlier in the week and immediately went back to see which one appealed to me the most at the moment. It was the Salmon Rillettes, and I am so glad I chose it. Absolutely delicious, and it's richness was the perfect foil to all the fancy French Champagne the wine guys were pouring before dinner. (That doesn't always happen around here, but when it does, I don't complain!) The Rillettes would also go beautifully with any dry, crisp white or rosé wine, or even a bottle of sparkling that isn't so pedigreed. Just make sure it isn't sweet.
This recipe is adapted from a dish of Thomas Keller (The French Laundry) and I gleaned it from Food and Wine magazine. It's not super quick, but the steps are well-spaced so you can easily do other tasks in between (like ironing the napkins!). It can also be made up to three days ahead, so if you're more of a planner than I am, you're all set.

The 10th annual Southeast Indian Studies Conference at UNC Pembroke was host to a significant volume of original research from near and far.
Rocky Locklear talks about the Literacy Commons project at Oxendine Elementary School, where he was once a student.
Conference presentations on April 10-11 covered diverse topics – local, state and national – on history, culture, literature, health and higher education. UNCP students also presented on projects that reached out to the local community.
Dr. Alfred Bryant, director of UNCP's new Southeast American Indian Studies program, presented on day two and was in the audience both days. Located in the home of the largest Indian Tribe east of the Mississippi, the SAIS program would greatly expand the scope of research to the southeastern U.S.
"I was pleased with the conference. Attendance was very good," Dr. Bryant said. "I am particularly impressed with the diversity of the topics.
"I believe the conference serves a valuable purpose," he continued. "Scholars are looking for a place to tell their stories, and we want UNCP to be that place. This is a part of the future of the Southeast American Indian Studies program."
It was two solid days of presentations wrapped around the Lumbee River Independent Film Festival on Friday and Saturday evenings. The festival hosted the world premier of the documentary film "Voices of the Lumbee." A student-faculty collaboration, "Voices" is an hour-long oral history of the Lumbees' struggles in the post-World War II economy.
Scholars came from New Hampshire and Mississippi as well as Wilmington and Winston-Salem. Nick Timmerman, a graduate student at Mississippi State University, said he learned about the conference online. Dr. Patricia Lerch, a faculty member at UNC Wilmington, has been on the email listserv from the very first conference.
"This is an important scholarly activity," Timmerman said. "Here, you get feedback on your research, and you network with other scholars."
Other scholars work closer to home. Dr. James Bass, director of the Learning Center at Robeson Community College (RCC), discussed his research on American Indian student success from community college to the university.
"I looked at persistence of American Indian students as they moved to UNCP from RCC, which is a feeder institution for this university," Dr. Bass said. "I surveyed RCC students who planned to go to UNCP, UNCP students who graduated from RCC, and graduates of both institutions."
Dr. Bass, who is a UNCP graduate, looked for common characteristics of successful students in surveys and interviews. He found that supportive family and friends were the most critical success factors. He had some recommendations for UNCP too.
Dr. James Bass, former UNCP Alumni director, discusses his doctoral research on American Indian student retention as they transition from Robeson Community College, where he now works, to UNCP.
"Having courses and activities specifically for American Indian students boosts persistence," Dr. Bass said. "UNCP is fortunate to have an American Indian Studies program. But it is also important to involve non-Indian students in the American Indian experience."
Nora Dial-Stanley, a resident of Forsythe County, and Dr. Ulrike Weithous of Wake Forest University discussed their battle against non-Indian groups staging powwows and other cultural appropriations.
Dial-Stanley took her case to the municipal and state governments and the North Carolina Commission on Indian affairs with mixed success. She also took on a North Carolina tourist landmark, Tweetsie Railroad in Boone, N.C.
"When Tweetsie Railroad wanted to hold job interviews for the Indians (who attack their train during performances) at Appalachian State University, we were successful in stopping them," Dial-Stanley said. "We were able to stop future proclamations from the governor's office supporting these (unsanctioned) powwows and other events as well as Arts Council funding for them."
Three UNCP student groups discussed their community outreach work through service-learning classes. A health literacy documentary film titled "Down with Sugar," was presented by students in English professor Dr. David Marquard's class who worked with UNCP's Literacy Commons.
A student group from American Indian Studies professor Dr. Jane Haladay's service-learning class wrote lesson plans and delivered programs on Native foods for students at Union Elementary School. Rocky Locklear, working with the Literacy Commons, presented on a writing project at Oxendine Elementary School. He said the project "demonstrated the power of the written word."
"I was a student at Oxendine Elementary; this community is the place I call home," Locklear said. "These kids see me in a spotlight and say 'if he can do it, I can too.'"
The Southeast Indian Studies Conference was organized by UNCP's Department of American Indian Studies, the Museum of the Native American Indian Studies and the Office of Academic Affairs. For additional information, please contact 910.521.6266 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Students in Dr. Linda Oxendine's Lumbee History course sit in on day one. They are from left: Dana Reijerkerk, Chris Hunt, Timisha Ivey, Brent Locklear and Bryan Cummings.

Roof Cleaning Berkeley Heights NJ and Power Washing Services in Berkeley Heights NJ
Just as Berkeley Heights NJ is the proud home of Life Time Athletic Berkley Heights, Thompson Roof Cleaning and Power Washing has been proudly providing roof cleaning and exterior cleaning services to the residents and businesses of Berkeley Heights since 1996.
We never use a pressure washer to clean a roof! There are companies servicing Berkeley Heights who use high pressured water to clean the roofing shingles. This not only damages the shingle, it does nothing to solve the problem at the root source. "Clean" is a perception. Sterilization is free from infective organisms or free from living bacteria and other microorganisms. Everything staining the roof is alive. It is contagious as far as the roof is concerned. Taking a more "pest control" approach can solve the problem at the source. Just as it would be ineffective to pressure wash a roach infestation, same holds true for the roof.
We treat roofs using sodium hypochlorite. This might sound scary but it's the same product used to treat swimming pools for algae. It is also use in gym whirlpools and saunas to keep the water sterile. The largest purchaser of sodium hypochlorite are local municipalities who add it to our tap water to keep water free of virus and parasite. When used properly it is a safe yet effective in treating mold, mildew and algae. Clorox Cleanup® is a widely used kitchen and bathroom disinfectant. The effective sterilizing ingredient is sodium hypochlorite. The stuff just work!
Landscape is always protected around the home by keep landscape covered and rinsed. Gutter leaders are always bagged to collect any runoff. The is plenty of rinsing that goes on around the home after roof treatment. It will be safe for pets and humans to immediately access surrounding areas without any harmful effects.
Homeowners and business owners living in Berkeley Heights take pride in the the curb appeal of their homes. A properly maintained home is a contributing factor in maintaining and increasing your home's value. That's why many of the residents of Berkeley Heights turn to Thompson Roof Cleaning and Power Washing when they need a trusted professional to clean the exterior of their home or business.

Non Pressure Roof Washing in Berkeley Heights NJ– You may not have realized this, but pressure washing or power washing your roof is about one of the worst things you can do to your roof. It's harmful, can damage your roof and shorten the life span of your roof. No one wants to pay to replace a roof prematurely. That's why we clean and protect your roof using a non pressure roof cleaning process. We use specially formulated roof cleaning detergents that safely remove moss, mildew, algae and lichen from your roof. Having your roof professionally cleaned using the proper method can extend the life of your roof.

text: Quick info about me; I'm 30 - full time job as a network engineer, and i need to start transitioning away from that industry and planning a retirement at the same time. I could be considered an OCD/ADD min/maxer type of personality that must not sleep until i figure everything out... I've started lurking the investment forums to see what itâs all about and I think it might fit my personality. (Sitting at a computer for long hours learning everything there is to know about something.) Trouble is - I have to keep my day job, and I donât have tons of capital to start with. 5k? So what Iâm looking for is a strategy for making a few trades a month - or even just one daily, maybe day trading down the road when I have the time and more experience. Blah Blah, the question is; Where do I start? I'm going to get active in forums and learn all I can from them. (I know to take everything with a grain of salt but they are helpful) A book to familiarize myself with terms and lingo? Focus on stocks, options, futures, forex? Are any of these available to me at night after work? Software or paper-trading simulation sites that are worthwhile? I'm not looking to jump in head first and start throwing my money around - Iâm looking to learn but I want to be focusing on a set strategy path that fits my lifestyle at the moment and Iâm unable to filter out all the complexities that donât apply to me at the moment. Thanks in advance to anyone who read all this and took the time to point me in a direction you think is best. I know Iâm not alone in my situation and this will undoubtedly help many others lurking - trying to make sense of it all!

A reliable Pontiac Aztek part is needed for the exhaust fumes to be expelled out of the engine motor quickly. Toxic gases wouldn't block your engine motor as long as you're equipped with a powerful exhaust manifold to vent the dangerous fumes away immediately. The pistons are usually in charge of driving the hazardous gases up in to the group of tubular manifold pipes. The accumulated exhaust gases can be pushed from the car through a large main pipe that's linked to the engine unit's cylinders.
The majority of exhaust manifolds for Pontiac Aztek are generally made using cast iron coating or engineered from stainless steel metal. This part has the ability to withstand the intense heat level of the exhaust fumes. The exhaust manifold may leak poisonous exhaust fumes straight into the car's interior once the sealants become damaged. Schedule frequent maintenance of the pipes in order to safeguard you and other passengers from breathing in the harmful exhaust leaks.
Rust can quickly spread on the Pontiac Aztek exhaust manifold. Exhaust gases may seep out of a rust-eaten pipe; have it removed before it destroys any more exhaust components. Buying a replacement part is easy; click on the chat icon on our home page for customer support. Our catalog offers affordable brands, like BD Diesel, OES Genuine, and Scan-Tech.

Hotel packages abound at the Aliante. Expect to find the best value and quality together at this North Las Vegas retreat. It's best for travelers who have a need to be in North Las Vegas, however. Yes, everything in the hotel is sharp and presented well, the staff is friendly, and the gaming is plentiful. But, with the possible exception of value for the money, there's little here that can't be had from many other casinos in the valley. If a raucous, lively Vegas vacation is desired, this might not be the place, as itrequires almost half an hour todrive to the strip. If a fun, but peaceful vacation is the goal, Aliante Hotel Casino & Spa could be the perfect destination. One thing that does set the Aliante apart is the beds. Every hotel guest remarks about the supreme comfort of the beds. Peace, value, and sharp design are onthe leading edge of Aliante Hotel Casino's appeal.
