Agence France-PresseFirst Posted 21:03:00 01/29/2009
When fully implemented, these and other new business reshaping activities, combined with revised estimates for the original 2007 program ... will result in the overall program delivering a reduction of approximately 15,000 positions by 2013."
The program will reap cost savings of $2.5 billion per year following its full implementation, compared with the previous annual forecast of $1.4 billion.
AstraZeneca said that it expected to be saving $2.1 billion before the end of 2010, with the rest of the savings achieved by 2013.
"All reductions in positions are subject to consultations with works councils, trade unions and other employee representatives and in accordance with local labor laws," it added.
The group announced that its 2008 annual net profits rose nine percent to $6.10 billion (Є4.56 billion) on strength in emerging markets.
Revenue gained 6.9 percent to $31.60 billion last year.
"AstraZeneca has delivered a robust performance in an increasingly challenging market environment," chief executive David Brennan said in the statement.
"I am particularly pleased with our continued success in globalizing our business, as shown by our strong performance in emerging markets.
"We are also making good headway in further improving the efficiency of our organization. The expansion in the scope of our restructuring efforts is another important step towards sustaining our long-term competitiveness."

Let's Talk About French Fries!
The Best (and Worst) Fast-Food French FriesPosted Mon, Jan 19, 2009, 12:18 pm PST
POST A COMMENT »
Worrying about calories seems silly after you've consented to a French fry grease-fest, but sometimes you can't help it. During one such conflicted experience, I wondered if some fast-food fries were less hard on the body than others. Looking at the nutritional facts of some common French fry purveyors, I found that you can, indeed, save some serious calories if you know which fries to buy.
I looked at these seven:-Arby's Curly Fries-Burger King's French Fries-Carl's Jr.'s Natural-Cut Fries-Dairy Queen's French Fries-Jack in the Box's Natural Cut Fries-McDonald's French Fries-Wendy's French Fries
Notes: The numbers below are estimated reports by each restaurant's official website at the time of this article.
Calorie-wise:
The BestDairy Queen wins with 2.69 calories/gramJack in the Box is close behind with 2.71 calories/gram
The WorstMcDonald's it is, with 3.25 calories/gram
Those stats may sound like just a few calories' difference, but that's a 21% difference, which adds up since a large serving tends to be around 190 grams.
But there are other stats to look at...
Here's the zero trans fat team:Burger KingCarl's Jr.Dairy QueenMcDonald'sWendy's
This one is the trans fattiest:Jack in the Box
How about saturated fat?
The BestDairy Queen (0.018g saturated fat/gram of fries)
The WorstArby's (0.037g saturated fat/gram of fries)
Also remember that a good deal in dollars, doesn't translate to your diet, and a "large fries" means something different to everyone:
Large Fries Serving Sizes McDonald's: 154gCarl's Jr.: 184gWendy's: 184gDairy Queen: 186gArby's: 190gBurger King: 194gJack in the Box: 236g

Seven Surprising Stay - Home Salaries
Seven Surprising Stay-Home Salaries
by Lila Daniels
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that at last count, 13.7 million Americans were telecommuting. Only one in four had a formal agreement in place with their employers. The vast majority simply arrange with a supervisor to spend a day or two a week out of the office.
In Pursuit of a Telecommute
Highly educated workers were the most likely to telecommute, according to the BLS study. If telecommuting is your goal, career training can be a good first step. Online degree programs are also a great way to see if you've got motivation and discipline it takes to work independently.
The BLS advises telecommuting hopefuls to seek out employers with established telework programs. Certain jobs and industries are more prone to this arrangement, and some of them pay really well. Here are seven stay-home jobs with standout salaries.
Sales Representatives
More than ever, big companies are farming out their sales forces. But instead of jobs going overseas, they're going to the suburbs. According to the BLS, one in five sales reps telecommute. The highest paying sales jobs usually involve technical and scientific products. These sales jobs are more likely to require a bachelor's degree. Studying marketing, business, or communications can be excellent preparation for this line of work. Stay-Home Salary: $68,270
Financial Analysts
Financial analysts help large companies and non-profit organizations figure out how, when, and where to invest their money. Often employed by investment banks, mutual funds, and insurance companies, the independent nature of the work lends itself to working from the home office. You'll need a bachelor's degree in finance, business administration, economics, or accounting to get in on the ground floor. Stay-Home Salary: $70,400
Personal Financial Advisors
This is another high finance, home-office profession. Instead of working with large endowments, personal financial advisors help individuals manage their money, protect their assets, and plan for retirement. Financial advisors work for financial services firms or investment and planning firms. A minimum of a bachelor's degree in finance, business administration, or accounting is required. Stay-Home Salary: $67,660
Web Designers
Two career paths that are particularly well suited to telecommuting are graphic design and computing. These career paths intersect for the job of Web developers, also called Web designers. These creative techies craft a Web site's look and make sure it functions. Most employers are looking for a bachelor's degree, and many schools offer programs specifically in Web site design. Stay-Home Salary: $47,000 to $71,500
Software Developers
These tech-savvy telecommuters design and develop commuter applications. Therefore, they need to be well versed in programming languages as well as operating systems. A bachelor's degree in computer science or software engineering is required, but your education is likely to pay off. The BLS predicts 38 percent growth through 2016, making this one of the nation's fastest growing occupations. Stay-Home Salary: $83,130
Accountant
Accounting is all about keeping the fiscal house in order--paying taxes, reporting earnings, analyzing budgets, and guiding investments. The individual nature of the work allows many accountants to routinely work from home. Certification and a degree in accounting are typical job requirements. Stay-Home Salary: $57,060
Marketing Manager
Managers (in any department) are more likely to regularly work from home. Marketing managers may find creativity blooms with the freedom of the home office. Increasingly, a master's degree in business administration is becoming the norm for marketing managers, though a good track record and a bachelor's degree may suffice.Stay-Home Salary: $104,400
The Truth Behind the Telecommute
Technically, to be considered a telecommuter you must regularly works eight or more paid hours at home each week. Telecommuting can cut down on a killer commute or carve out more time for the kids. It can help you find a better work-life balance. But let's be clear--there are a few things telecommuting is not designed for
1. It is not a substitute for child care. Imagine trying to hold a conference call while entertaining your two-year-old.
2. It is not for the recluse. The key to successful telecommuting is communication, particularly with your supervisors.
3. It is not entry-level workers. According to the BLS Occupational Outlook Quarterly, it is far more effective for employees to make a case for telecommuting after proving their value.
Working at home can help you save on skyrocketing gas prices, but it makes financial sense for your employer, too. A study done for the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas showed telecommuters earning $44,000 a year saved their company an average of $10,000. And, telecommuting options improve morale, productivity, and worker retention.

16 Types of Friends from Frencel Tingga
May iba’t-ibang klase ng kaibigan:
childhood friend. Ang nakakakilala sa iyo noong uhugin ka pa. Ang kasama mo maligo sa ulan, sa ilog, sa drum. Ang niyayaya mong pumapak ng Milo, Nido o Maggie Noodles in its raw form. Ang taong nakaaway mo man, pero the next minute, friends na uli kayo. In short sya yung living repository ng earliest life history mo.
barkada. Usually composed of more than two members, a barkada could be your batchmates, schoolmates, neighbors, o kainuman sa kanto. Ang barkada for life na ang inyong samahan, dahil marami na kayong pinagdaanan sa buhay in good and bad times. Sila ang gusto mo kasama pag gigimik, pag- mag wi-window shopping, o gagawa ng kabalastugan… kung ano man yun. Ang takbuhan mo pag-nababad-trip ka sa bahay o sa buhay. Kumbaga your barkada is your second family. They are your kindred souls.
special-interest friend. Regardless of your status in life, friends kayo dahil you share the same interest, hobby or passion. Halimbawa your tennis or yoga friends.
family friend. Best friends at super close ang mga magulang nyo pareho. Mag-kumpare ang mga tatay nyo or mag-amiga naman ang mga nanay nyo… Once in a while, nag-ge-get together kayo pag may mga parties or family gatherings… so by default kayong mga anak from respective families, nagiging friends na rin.
friend of a friend. When you become a friend to someone, sometimes you also end up being friends with some of his or her loved ones. Yung mga kakilala nya, nakikilala mo na rin. Ang friends nya, nagiging friends mo na rin. Ang boyfriend or girlfriend nya, kailangan isama mo na rin sa iyong circle of friends.
accidental friend. Naaksidente ka. May taong tumulong sa iyo. Somewhat sumagip ng buhay mo. By accident, naging friends kayo.
bine-friend. Minsan sa buhay nakakagawa ka ng medyo di kaaya-aya. Dahil medyo malapit sya sa mailap mong crush, gagawa ka ng paraan para maging kaibigan sya. Hoping maging tulay. Tama ba? Bine-friend kasi may hidden agenda.
weather-weather friend. Kung sunny ang weather, friends kayo. Pero kung bagyo na… break na kayo. Siya yung kaibigan mo lang sa oras ng kasiyahan.
friend with benefits. Medyo may masamang connotation to pero kaibigan mo sya because his or her friendship comes with perks and benefits. Basically, it’s a friendship which sprouted out of selfish reasons.
seasonal friend. Eto yung naging friend mo dahil nagsama kayo ng isang semester sa klase, sa isang dormitory or boarding house, sa isang month-long na training, o sa isang project or assignment. Naging magkaibigan lang kayo for a certain season in your life.
two-face. Akala mo kaibigan mo siya. Pag-kaharap lang pala. Behind your back sinasaksak ka nya.
cyber friend. Frustrated ka with life. Nasa weltanschauung phase ka ng iyong buhay. Nag-log-in ka sa world wide web. May naka-chat ka. You met someone who feels exactly the same… so you become cyber friends. Kasama rin dito ang mga first time mo lang na-meet through Friendster, Facebook, Multiply, Blogger, Flixster, Flickr, Wordpress, Hi5 at kung anu-ano pang social networking sites.
phone pal/ text mate. Naging friend mo dahil good mood or bored ka nung mga sandaling naka-receive ka ng isang anonymous (or pretending to be anonymous) call or text from someone (which could be a stranger, stalker, or nag-kaka-crush sa yo) wishing na maging kaibigan ka. Buti na lang mapagbigay ka.
special friend. Ang favouritism hindi lang uso sa bahay… pati sa pagkakaibigan nangyayari rin yan. Kung ang friendship ay maihahambing sa halo-halo, karamihan dyan regular… at more or less may isa dyang mako-consider mong special. May ice cream at cherry topping.
confidante. Ang sumbungan mo ng iyong angsts, fears, and dreams. Sya lang ang pinagkakatiwalaan mong humawak ng susi sa mga di- kaaya-aya at top secrets mo in life. He or she could be anyone but not necessarily your bestfriend, kasi minsan pag-nag-away kayo ng bestfriend mo… sa confidante mo lang ikaw lalapit at mag-ngangangawa. In other words, sya ang tinuturing mong adviser sa buhay.
best friend. Ang taong laging kadikit mo. Partner in crime. Could be your soulmate. Could be your total opposite. Para mo na ring kapatid. Ang nakakatampuhan ng matagal. Ang natatawagan mo dis-oras ng gabi. At kahit malayo man kayo sa isa’t-isa, kahit kailan hindi nag-didiminish ang love nyo for one another. It’s like you have your own world na kayong dalawa lang ang tao. The one who points out all your mistakes and faults. The one who sits by your side in times of happiness and sadness. The one who truly accepts and loves you for everything that you are… good or bad. Practically the person who knows, if not all… then almost everything about you. The best friend is your mirror… and may be the little bit of all the kinds of your friends. At higit sa lahat, ang natatanging taong pag-aalayan mo lang ng kantang “If I had only one friend left, I’d want it to be you.”
Masaya magkaroon ng kaibigan. Mas masarap mabuhay kung alam mong hindi ka nag-iisa sa iyong paglalakbay. At some point in my life, natagpuan ko halos lahat ng klase ng mga kaibigang ito. Ikaw… masaya ako at natagpuan kitaJ
childhood friend. Ang nakakakilala sa iyo noong uhugin ka pa. Ang kasama mo maligo sa ulan, sa ilog, sa drum. Ang niyayaya mong pumapak ng Milo, Nido o Maggie Noodles in its raw form.

The one who truly accepts and loves you for everything that you are… good or bad. Practically the person who knows, if not all… then almost everything about you. The best friend is your mirror… and may be the little bit of all the kinds of your friends. At higit sa lahat, ang natatanging taong pag-aalayan mo lang ng kantang “If I had only one friend left, I’d want it to be you.”
Masaya magkaroon ng kaibigan. Mas masarap mabuhay kung alam mong hindi ka nag-iisa sa iyong paglalakbay. At some point in my life, natagpuan ko halos lahat ng klase ng mga kaibigang ito. Ikaw… masaya ako at natagpuan kitaJ

A Message from a Friend!
""to accept the things we cannot change, and to take from it only what can be freely given, and to be happy and content with that, to enjoy it while it lasts, to be happy with what makes the other happy, and to never expect anything back."
Happiness
The chances are that you have already come to believe that happiness is unattainable. But men have attained it. And they have attained it by realising that happiness does not spring from the procuring of physical or mental pleasure, but from the development of reason and the adjustment of conduct to principles
Falling In Love
When I met you, I wasn’t planning on falling in love. I wasn’t planning on feeling so attracted to someone. but you awakened feelings inside of me. that I’d forgotten existed. When i met you. I didn’t realize how much our love would grow that the attraction that first brought us together would be reach beyond passion to comfort of knowing I have someone very special who is not my lover but my close friend...............
