Q: The stock market seems to be reaching new record highs every day. Are there any stocks that still look cheap?
Corporate earnings have exhibited pretty impressive growth as a whole over the past few years, so the market's performance is somewhat justified. However, many stocks do look to be rather expensive right now — particularly in the tech sector. Yet some bargains remain.
One of my favorite "cheap" stocks right now is AT&T (NYSE: T), even after shares popped following the company's strong quarterly report. The telecom giant pays a dividend yielding more than 5% and is a Dividend Aristocrat, meaning that it has increased its dividend for more than 25 consecutive years.
Despite a low price-to-earnings multiple of just 13 times 2017's expected earnings, AT&T has lots of room to grow, especially thanks to its purchase of DIRECTV and its pending acquisition of Time Warner, both of which should give it an advantage over the competition when it comes to bundling services and broadcasting content directly to smartphones and tablets.

So what's going on here? And why the focus on the bond market?
Knowing how much they can earn from "risk-free" Treasury bonds allows investors to determine the cost of stocks and other riskier assets. Treasuries serve as the benchmark for all other forms of credit, from junk bonds to mortgages.
"The 10-year Treasury sets the price for every asset in the world," said Brent Schutte, chief investment strategist at Northwestern Mutual.
That means the surge in the 10-year yield — from 2.4% earlier this year to about 2.8% now — has increased the cost of money generally.

Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) has made a lot of efforts in pricing its goods attractively over the past months. This allowed for strong traffic growth, which resulted in positive comps for the company. Subsequently, Wal-Mart's shares have been performing much better than those of its peers, which are reporting worse comp sales. Due to Wal-Mart's power when it comes to discussing prices with its suppliers, the company is able to price its goods attractively whilst generating strong margins, which, in turn, means that the earnings power of Wal-Mart remains high (despite the low prices Wal-Mart offers its goods at), which makes Wal-Mart a compelling retail investment.

They have a lot of things in the works. They're kind of throwing some things at the wall and seeing what will stick. They have their Macy's Backstage concept, which is their discount concept. Every retailer has to have one nowadays, like a Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) Rack, for example.

Watching the fireworks yesterday, a houseguest commented on why the techno display is bad for the environment (there's always one in every crowd, isn't there…!) It's hard to ignore the majesty of a well produced fireworks display, and I don't really see too many people hopping on the "let's clean up the environment by eliminating standard 4th of July fare" bandwagon, but the issue did spark a larger discussion about clean energy, and in particular, LED lighting.
Incandescent bulbs were phased out beginning in 2007, and now, 10 years later, no incandescent light is manufactured in or imported for sale into the United States. These notoriously inefficient sources of light have been replaced globally with LED lights, which are more energy efficient, emit greater light, last multiple times longer than traditional bulbs, and are far cooler from an operational – and now a style quotient – standpoint.

The volatile price of natural gas over the past year has weighed some on this top energy company. ONEOK Inc. (NYSE: OKE) primarily engages in natural gas transportation, storage and natural gas and NGLs gathering, processing and fractionation in the Bakken, Mid-Continent and Permian. The company recently closed the roll-up of its underlying master limited partnership, ONEOK Partners.
However, the company did take a major step toward improving those numbers by recently selling its 20% interest in the West Texas LPG Pipeline to its joint venture partner ONEOK (NYSE:OKE). It was a win-win deal for both companies. In ONEOK's case, it now has full control over a pipeline that it intends on expanding further in the future. Meanwhile, the deal provided Martin Midstream with some much-needed cash as well as saving it from having to come up with funding for those expansion projects. As a result, the sale helped improve the company's leverage ratio to a slightly better 4.36 while also keeping it on track to maintain a 1.0 coverage ratio for the full year. While those are dramatic improvements, the company's payout still isn't sustainable, which suggests that Martin Midstream will likely need to reduce its high-yielding distribution at some point in the future.

Wall Street suffered a sharp drop on Tuesday, with major benchmarks posting substantial declines in response to a combination of economic factors. The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond climbed above 3% for the first time since 2014, but of greater concern to many market participants were remarks in major corporate earnings reports suggesting that business conditions had likely hit their peak and were poised to deteriorate going forward. With raw materials costs starting to pick up, many manufacturers are reporting inflationary pressures that could hurt profits. Yet even as the broader indexes fell, some individual companies had good news to report.

The year 2018, after having started on a positive note, witnessed a sharp correction in stock indices post the Union Budget. The Nifty slipped by around 1,000 points from its all-time high which stood at around 11,000 nearly two months ago. On the other hand, Sensex slipped by more than 3,000 points from its all-time high. Over the last two months, markets were down approximately 10 percent, said Rahul Jain Head of Personal Wealth Advisory, Edelweiss Wealth Management, in a recent interview with Moneycontrol.
He spoke about about how an investor should ride out this market volatility and review ones portfolio during market corrections.
A market correction is a normal phenomenon, which usually happens at regular intervals. Such corrections in structural bull markets are good as it helps to get away with froth from the stock market. Those who are invested through SIP mode should continue under the current scenario. If an investor is planning to pump in more capitalthen he/she should ideally wait for a month as markets could witness a further correction and NIFTY may lower to 9,600 points. During this period investors can buy more stocks which can be an ideal time to increase equity exposure towards ones portfolio.

Markets are digesting the ongoing roller coaster that is President Trump's trade policy. Recently, Trump slapped the EU, Canada, and Mexico with heavy tariffs on steel and aluminum. At the end of the event, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that all seven member nations signed a summit communique despite ongoing trade tensions. However, President Trump has now claimed that Trudeau lied to him about certain policies. This ongoing political drama will extend through the week. Trump has arrived in Singapore to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. This will be the first meeting between an American president and a sitting North Korean leader. Ahead of the meeting, Trump said that he will know "within a minute" whether North Korean officials are serious about giving up their weapons and potentially liberalizing their economy. The other major story to watch this week is the meeting of the Fed Open Market Committee, which kicks off on Tuesday. The U.S. central bank is expected to raise interest rates for the second time in 2018. On Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will likely announce a hike of 0.25% to the benchmark rate of 2%. This would also mark the seventh hike since December 2015. Markets will be looking for clues during Powell's conference to determine how many additional times the Fed plans to raise interest rates during the final six months of the year.

Dec. 15, 2016, may just go down as the final piece of the "Abenomics" puzzle. Early on that morning, Japan's parliament passed a bill that would finally legalize casinos. This sets the stage for billions of dollars to pour into the country. More importantly, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is putting real weight behind his economic revival campaign.
But before you dive into casino stocks to buy, consider the enormous political and cultural opposition that was leveled against Japan casinos.

Done with the first tree, multiplied, equalized, and or randomly arranged horizontally, this technique will create a space amidst the lined branches. A number of unique geometric shapes, which are different one another will be created.
The geometric distortion pattern resulting from the use 3 cm bamboos will produce a new architecture, which will compete with the natural trees. From interior side, this distorted geometry has transformed into a fragment destroying the boxed, monotonous apartment around the site, and lifeless local geometric shapes.

A very nice pop-up book commercial by Framestore CFC. You can nowadays see the commercial of cleaning is less aimed at adults, but more aimed for children's or to remind parents making a clean healthy environment for their children's. This is quite smart because every parent loves their children's and want them to be clean, save and healthy. And the person doing most of the cleaning is one of the parents. It's a pretty well made pop-up book with great mechanisms in it. On packaging side of view the commercial is about halve sizing the packaging but doubling the strength to improve the environment. Less is more concept, less packaging means less dirt or junk but also means less trucks needed to transport. Making it more better for the environment.

As research grows in this area of health, prolonged fasting is becoming more widely accepted as a legitimate means of managing weight and aid in the management of risk for metabolic diseases. At the same time, it is clear that fasting can be challenging and uncomfortable, and therefore, it is important that it is done in proper and healthy ways. As fasting trends, such as intermittent fasting, gain popularity, the extended fasting periods (without food) can lead to a myriad of negative side effects, including irritability and the likelihood of overeating during the "eating" period.
While most people think of fasting in terms of the common definition of fasting, which is the abstinence of food or drink, cellular fasting is linked to downregulation of the nutrient-sensing pathways and upregulation of stress resistance mechanisms. Nutrient sensing pathways are sensors that are activated in the presence of adequate nutrients (amino acids, glucose, energy). ProLon has been scientifically developed to avoid triggering the three key Nutrient Sensing Pathways namely: PKA (Carbohydrate Pathway), IGF-1 (Protein Pathway), and mTOR (Amino Acids Pathway).
Culminating more than 20 years of research and discoveries on fasting made at the University of Southern California (USC), L-Nutra is a nutrition technology company using breakthrough science to enhance human health, promote healthy aging, and support overall well-being. As industry pioneers and innovators of fasting nutrition science, L-Nutra is the creator of Fast Bar [7] and the ProLon Fasting Mimicking Diet [8]. Fast Bar and the foods included during ProLon's 5-day program are the first and only fasting products that are scientifically researched and crafted with macro- and micronutrients in precise quantities and combinations that nourish you but mimic the effects of fasting to unleash the body's natural ability to fuel and rejuvenate itself.
A clinical trial found that ProLon FMD provides benefits not limited to weight loss, healthy aging, and metabolic health. With ProLon, the health benefits are typically sustained well after the 5-day program, with users reporting fewer cravings, enhanced focus and energy, and greater mindfulness of food choices.
*Disclaimer or further explanation is always required for this claim. The disclaimer needed: "Benefits seen in a randomized, controlled study in 105 adults after a 15-hour overnight fast comparing the glucose and ketone results every hour for 4 hours in the Fast Bar group, breakfast group, and water-fast group. Data on file."

This is the burial place of John Smith son of Richard Smith of the time of King Charles I. Died 6 May 1655 in Micham, Surry and buried here 9 May 1655. Richard Smith's daughter Martha married a Mr Hacker her eldest son was Richard d.27 Apr 1649, another was John d.6 Aug 1646 . Believe she married William Hacker murdered near Frankfurt 26 Mar 1651. Her father Richard claims him as a son-in-law. Richard aged 85 years died 26 Mar 1675 he was buried at Criplegate That's virtually a 400 year old history! On a surname so common as Smith. With this sort of history on every street corner, England's got a lot going for it!


I would say since we have schwebebahn as monorail, change its symbol. And use current version for maglev.
EDIT: now fresh out of oven, in svn. I repainted the ship symbol to look less like racing motorboat : while I was at it.
Good idea, actually! That should not be too hard.
But what about the symbol for narrowgauge?
OK, now first (easier) part of powerbridges is in... Don't look, it's still ugly.
The problem is not to find a distinguishing feature - the problem is to show it in such a small image.
Here is a different idea - why do the symbols have to be grayscale? Let's pick some colors that are sufficiently different.
And the airplane is pretty hard to recognize, standard glyph is plane shape as seen from above.
Sure - but then we should do all in color, shouldn't we?
Ask Frank? I don't use it.
Well... with plain windows, without special software, it's the only method we (=people like me) have, isn't it?
On the other hand, installing Python takes... maybe 10 clicks and 11 MB download. And you can do wonders with it, pretty much like with perl (which I don't like).
That may be true - but only for PAKing simutrans... a bit of overkill for me. Maybe on a later day.
I will commit lots of material for future use (or maybe not).
It may take some time, because my dear internet provider is offline again.
Update 2: Everything should be uploaded by now. That is - prepare for the next batch in a few days! Muhahahaha!
Which filenames? Original names are like "škoda 12 tr.PNG" which I renamed after first commit to like "skoda_12_tr.png". Maybe update your copy?
the folder "material is like a box for objekts, wich we want to use in the future?
Aha! Folder names. I will mend that asap.
Yes, this is material we may use in future - "vielleicht", nicht "sicher"
Right now I am away. I'll return on Tuesday evening and then should have the rest of week until school starts again.
I am planning to start reorganizing existing content so that Napik's two folder paradigm stops inconveniencing everyone (or at least me!), and also split the translator monster-sheets into individual vehicle mini-sheets, so that changing one object no longer invalidates so much data in svn... and also it's too hard to find the images.
The new scheme should be "file eintopf" as has 64, sorted into folders. Except that for "mass production" objects like houses and vehicles one object per dat will match one object per png, with identical name but for extension. As simple as can be. This should make it far easier to exchange graphics when "liberating" objects. Ordering of vehicle views stays, having it enforced across all items is great, one can just change one number and keep coyping the same chunk of dat file over.
The folder !trees shows what will happen to vehicles and houses, too. Any comments?
I think moving large amounts of data around is finished.
Uff, now it should really be finished.
Funny: What pattern could this be?

California family wins legal battle over wrongful death
Losing a loved one is never easy, but some families have had to endure a death that was preventable or the result of someone else's negligence. In San Bernardino, California, and the rest of the United States, families who have lost someone in a wrongful death accident should be committed to holding whoever is responsible for the death accountable. Although no amount of compensation can change a tragic fatality, taking legal action may be helpful for people going through this.
The family of a California prisoner who committed suicide almost 10 years ago recently won a lawsuit that was filed against the state. The prisoner's mother claims that her son, who was imprisoned over drug possession, had depression and other mental health problems and steps were not taken to prevent him from committing suicide.
In their lawsuit, the family claimed that prison guards left the man unattended and he hung himself while his cellmate was asleep. In addition to responsibility for the man's wrongful death, the family also accused the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation of violating his civil rights. They will receive $1 million from the state.
From a fatal workplace accident to a deadly car accident, the nature of each wrongful death case is different. Because of these differences, families who have decided to take legal action after the death of their loved one should thoroughly assess the individual details pertaining to their case. Furthermore, some families benefit considerably by contacting an attorney and talking about what they have been through.

Q: Longitudinal data, 4 years, 3 levels - wanting to visualise transitions I have a dataframe which in R looks somewhat like this.
set.seed(100)

df <- data.frame(ID = 1:10,
            I.2011 = sample(1:3, rep = 1, 10),
            I.2012 = sample(1:3, rep = 1, 10),
            I.2013 = sample(1:3, rep = 1, 10),
            I.2014 = sample(1:3, rep = 1, 10))

   ID I.2011 I.2012 I.2013 I.2014
1   1      1      2      2      2
2   2      1      3      3      3
3   3      2      1      2      2
4   4      1      2      3      3
5   5      2      3      2      3
6   6      2      3      1      3
7   7      3      1      3      1
8   8      2      2      3      2
9   9      2      2      2      3
10 10      1      3      1      1

The data is longitudinal, and I am interested in people's transitions over time. Particularly important are the group of people who begin in 2011 in group 2, so perhaps in some visualisation the people who satisfy this criteria would have their trajectory in colour whereas all other trajectories would be in shades of grey.
I am wondering if anyone had a neat solution for visualising these transitions, perhaps implementable in R with ggplot2 or something interactive which would be implementable with d3.js (I am new to d3.js so I'm looking for a chance to try it out!)
If example code is available that would be fantastic, however I'm not so worried about that, and instead wish to focus on how best this information could be visualised. A type of sankey or chord diagram is coming to mind, but overall I am unsure.

A: You might be looking for sequence analysis methods. Have a look at the R package called TraMineR. It might be a good starting place to see what you could do, then try and implement in ggplot or d3.js. At the very least, it will hopefully help you learn some names of plots which you can use and then search for them more effectively. Here is just some of the plotting capabilities in TraMineR:
library(TraMineR)
set.seed(100)
df <- data.frame(ID = 1:100,
             I.2011 = sample(1:3, rep = 1, 100),
             I.2012 = sample(1:3, rep = 1, 100),
             I.2013 = sample(1:3, rep = 1, 100),
             I.2014 = sample(1:3, rep = 1, 100))

seq <- seqdef(data = df[,grep("I.",names(df),fixed = T)])

seqiplot(seq, title = "First ten sequences",  tlim=1:10)

seqIplot(seq, sortv = "from.start", title = "Grouping sequences by starting patterns") # this might be of particular interest.

seqfplot(seq, title = "The most common pathways", tlim=1:10)

See http://traminer.unige.c or ?TraMineR in R for more details.

Protips For Renting a Portable John in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania!
There are many details that go into managing a successful event, but typically you would not believe a portable toilet is one of them. The last thing any good host wants is a jam up in the porta potty lines, resulting in irritated attendees and overloaded facilities. Prior to ahead with any big event you'll want to make sure you have made preparations to prepare for the typical bathroom needs of your attendees with a porta potty solution.
Your portable toilet solution could end up being the most important aspect of your gathering, since the fun would be short lived if your guests can't relieve themselves rapidly enough. It's beneficial to have a bit of a background on portable toilets prior to making an important choice. There are many more varieties of porta potties than you may think and you'll want to ensure you choose the right options to avoid long lines or issues.
First, think about the different porta potty choices that you'll be presented with when going with a rental service. How formal your gathering will help you to choose if you would prefer a portable toilet or a toilet trailer, but sometimes you might require both. A good question to ask your portable toilet company is what choice of hand washing options they offer with their units and any options for lighting if your event will linger into the evening. Finally, don't forget to inquire about how the toilets are serviced during especially long parties, events in warm weather, and events with a large number of guests.
If you are someone who is looking for a basic portable toilet and the cost is your most important factor, then single-stall facilities kind of like those usually utilized at construction sites and carnival grounds are usually the best choice. Forbigger or more upscale events, you can opt for the entire bathroom trailer choice, which provides a full restroom area for people to use. Even the most basic of portable toilet choices will have the most often used sanitation amenities such as toilet paper, handwash and paper towels. You can also choose to have a separate hand washing station if you are using a basic porta potty. The VIP portable toilets come with with all of the materials that are required, including a pleasant smell in an air freshener.
The most important decision you can make prior to renting is to figure out how many portable toilets you will need for your crowd. The rule of thumb for porta potty quantities versus crowd size is that you will require one stall for every ten employees, if you are using the stalls on a construction site or longer term project. Suggestions on how many porta potties you will require for your special occasion will vary by vendor, but in general you will require at least two units for an 8-hour party with fifty people or less. For bigger, such as a wedding or concert with over a hundred guests, you could very well be looking at dozens of stalls required.
There are a serious of situations where you can benefit by getting a porta potty rental on site for any occasion that involves a lot of people. Cases where you may want to think about renting quality portable restrooms are weddings, business events or charity fundraisers. Whenever you are expecting guests who are going to be dressed up in formal attire, it makes sense to go for the more higher end portable toilet selections. The purpose of these stalls would be to try and recreate the bathroom experience a person would enjoy while at a smaller indoors function.
You should also think about cleaning services and resupply of paper essentials that you will probably need throughout your event for the toilet units. This includes things such as toilet paper and hand drying refills along with cleaning or sanitizing the units. You might want to make sure that there are toilet paper refills available at all times, since the last thing you want to happen at your event is for someone to come up and tell you they require more amenities in the rental toilets.
There are a few points that influence the price of mobile toilets. The fees of portable toilets with more sanitary amenities is increased when compared to a basic porta potty. Next, the amount of time will also play a role in the price of renting portable restrooms, and the more time you need them for, the higher the price will be. The cost will also change depending on how far the rental vendor needs to drive to deliver the units to your event, so you may want to choose the rental company that is nearest to you to reduce travel fees. Sometimes vendors will give you a discount if you've rented from them several times before as well. Regardless what company you choose for your portable toilet rental, now that you are informed on the basics of the rental process you'll be prepared to ask the best questions and the get the lowest prices.

Arsenal break losing run with impressive Europa League win against AC Milan
Manager Arsene Wenger desperately needed a positive result after coming under pressure for a run of four straight defeats in all competitions.

Under-fire Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was relieved after his side's impressive 2-0 Europa League last 16, first-leg victory at AC Milan on Thursday, following a "nightmare" week.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan drove Arsenal into a 15th-minute lead with his first goal for the club, and a shell-shocked Milan fell further behind before half-time as Aaron Ramsey waltzed through to score.
Wenger desperately needed a positive result after coming under pressure for a run of four straight defeats, and he got just that against a Milan side who saw a 13-match unbeaten run ended.
"It is an important win of course after we had a nightmare week," the 68-year-old Frenchman told BT Sport.
"I am happy with the spirit and response we gave. When you are knocked down like a boxer you don't have time to react and you are only halfway up, but you have to respond.
"Your pride and desire to show quality has to come through in the game."
Gennaro Gattuso's seven-time European champions now have it all to do ahead of the second leg at the Emirates in seven days' time.
But Arsenal, 13 points adrift of the top four in the Premier League, will be confident of continuing their bid to return to the Champions League by winning Europe's second-tier competition for the first time.
"Overall it is important to win, but it is not qualification. We have to finish the job at home," Wenger added.
Arsenal started brightly at the San Siro but were lucky not to concede a penalty when Hakan Calhanoglou stayed on his feet despite appearing to have been fouled by onrushing Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina.
Just moments later Arsenal broke the deadlock, as Mesut Ozil fed Armenian Mkhitaryan, a January signing from Manchester United, to cut inside and fire in a shot which deflected past home keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma off Leonardo Bonucci.
The Gunners grew in confidence after that strike, with Donnarumma making two good saves late in the opening period to deny Calum Chambers and Danny Welbeck, before Mkhitaryan hit the crossbar.
But the visitors did double their advantage before the interval, as Ramsey ran onto Ozil's perfectly-weighted through ball and rounded Donnarumma to tap into an empty net.
Milan improved in the second half, but wasted their best chances, failing to truly test Ospina.
Giacomo Bonaventura scooped a shot over when he should have done better, while Suso drilled a left-footed strike out for a throw-in.
Colombian keeper Ospina did well to beat Nikola Kalinic to a through ball when the substitute looked to be in on goal, as Arsenal closed out a much-needed win.
Borussia Dortmund slumped to a shock first-leg 2-1 loss at home to Salzburg, although Andre Schurrle's second-half strike did cut the deficit ahead of next week's return game in Austria.
Kosovo international Valon Berisha scored twice shortly after half-time to put Salzburg in control, the first from the penalty spot, and leave German giants Dortmund facing a surprise exit.
La Liga title challengers Atletico Madrid eased to a 3-0 victory over Lokomotiv Moscow at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Diego Simeone's side, who were dumped out of the Champions League in the group stage after finishing behind Roma and Chelsea, put themselves in a dominant position thanks to goals from Saul Niguez, Diego Costa and Koke.
Spanish international Costa has now scored six goals for Atletico since returning to the club from Chelsea in January.
Brazilian defender Marcelo scored the only goal as last season's semi-finalists Lyon grabbed a 1-0 win at CSKA Moscow, as they look to go one better this term with the final at their Groupama Stadium.

LOS ANGELES, CA (December 21, 2011)⎯AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) today saluted drug giant Merck on the news of its announcement late yesterday afternoon that is lowering the prices for its lifesaving HIV/AIDS medications for the cash-strapped AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAPs). ADAPs, a network of federal and state funded programs that provide life-saving HIV treatments to low income, uninsured, and underinsured individuals living with HIV/AIDS nationwide, are facing a severe financial crisis that has left as many as 10,000 people with AIDS without access to treatment over the past year. Presently there are 4,333 individuals in 12 states on ADAP waiting lists to access lifesaving HIV/AIDS medications.
• Again lower the price of ISENTRESS® (raltegravir) to eligible ADAPs, effective Jan. 1, 2012. The new price will be "frozen" and will be available as part of the existing Merck special pricing program through Dec. 31, 2013. Merck was the first company to freeze the price of an antiretroviral (ARV) therapy to ADAPs in 2003.
In addition, Merck and ACTF (ADAP Crisis Task Force) have agreed that Merck will increase operations funding and medication donations for the Welvista ADAP Program. Welvista helps address the medication needs of ADAP clients who are currently on state ADAP waiting lists by expediting access to HIV medicines through a simplified application process. Merck will also work to optimize the use of comprehensive health insurance options available to persons with HIV. The National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD) reported about 40 ADAPs used ADAP funds to purchase health insurance or pay insurance premiums, co-payments and/or deductibles for individuals eligible for ADAP (provided the insurance has comparable formulary benefits to that of the ADAP). Merck and NASTAD will seek solutions that overcome barriers to more widespread use of such approaches, such as expanding enrollments in Medicare Part D, private insurance and pre-existing condition insurance plans (PCIPs).
With the late breaking news of Merck's price cuts for ADAPs announced yesterday, AHF also extends a heartfelt apology to Merck and its new CEO, Kenneth Frazier, who are the subject of a Grinch-themed print advocacy ad that will be running in this week's edition of the Hunterdon County (NJ) Democrat newspaper, which had gone to print by the time AHF learned of Merck's price concessions.
AHF also produced and mailed a "Merck: Breaking the Bank" direct mail postcard sent last week to the communities surrounding Merck's headquarters in Whitehouse Station, NJ. The postcard highlighted the fact that Merck has made billions of dollars on AIDS drugs, leading to a nearly $100 billion market capitalization for the company, yet it had refused to lower prices for the publicly funded ADAPs.
As part of its strategy to raise the pricing issues with Merck investors, in October AHF testified before the board of CalPERS (California Public Employees Retirement System) about the pricing policies of Merck and other drug companies. At that meeting the CalPERS board agreed to contact Merck and others about their pricing policies in light of the financial difficulties experienced by ADAPs. The CalPERS action followed the move by California State Treasurer Bill Lockyer, and state Treasurer John Chiang, to write to Merck and other companies and urge them to provide additional discounts to ADAPs.
"Over the past few weeks, Gilead and other companies agreed to provide additional discounts to ADAPs. Then, on World AIDS Day, the President asked companies to do more to help these programs. We thank Merck for following suit now with its own price reductions and concessions for ADAPs," said Tom Myers, Chief of Public Affairs for AIDS Healthcare Foundation.
