Merck & Co. said Friday that it would widen its cost-cutting measures by
eliminating up to 13,000 jobs—on top of the 17,000 layoffs in prior actions
—as the drug maker faces generic competition and other pressures.
The Whitehouse Station, N.J., company disclosed the job cuts as it reported
a near-tripling of second-quarter earnings on a tax benefit and other items.
Revenue rose 7% on sales growth for diabetes drugs Januvia and Janumet, as
well as anti-inflammatory drug Remicade.

Problems paying the mortgage, filling the gas tank and feeding the family
have eroded living standards for millions of Americans during the past
several months. Not so for people who manage big piles of money; many of
them made a fortune betting correctly on the housing debacle and rising
commodity prices last year.

US and European banks are offering huge pay packages to hire top bankers
in the Asia-Pacific region, in a sign that the compensation curbs
pledged by financial groups after the crisis are already being eroded.
A shortage of talent combined with rivalry among banks to expand or

Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs
By GREG SMITH
TODAY is my last day at Goldman Sachs. After almost 12 years at the firm —
first as a summer intern while at Stanford, then in New York for 10 years,
and now in London — I believe I have worked here long enough to understand
the trajectory of its culture, its people and its identity. And I can
honestly say that the environment now is as toxic and destructive as I have
ever seen it.

Paulson wanted to short a portfolio, so he created one and asked GS to make
a trade. GS of cource did not want to be the long end of the this deal so
they try to off load.
However, given the size of the trade, GS could NOT find any one to take the

There are 4 reasons why physicians should never accept gifts from patients.
First, the physician-patient relationship is a fiduciary one; that is, the
physician owes an obligation of fidelity to the patient. Profiting from the
treatment of a patient, other than through established reimbursement schemes
, violates the physician's fidelity to the patient. Accepting gifts erodes
the special moral character of the physician-patient relationship.
Second, gifts are gi... 阅读全帖 |
