No. Nitric Oxide is neither bactericidal nor bacteriostatic in vivo. It might give you an erection or produce substantial vasodilation, but that's about it.
It's called Vancomycin, and it's been around for a while. If the pharmacy doesn't stock that, Teicoplanin will also work. Quite honestly, the MRSA is not exactly a superbug. For the most part, these organisms are caught in the hospital - proper handwashing and isolation should prevent most people from evening catching these bugs. The real "superbug" these days is Vancomycin Insensitive Staph Aureus (VISA) - organisms that require concentrations of vancomycin that come close to causing neprotoxicity (kidneys) and ototoxicity (ears) and who knows what else.
$0.99 might be too much for a song, but the going rate for a Coldplay single/EP is $12.99 for three songs. That's a whopping $4.33 per song. Compare that to the list price of a pop single from five years ago. The reason that this a victory for all parties involved (the music companies included) is that with non-variable pricing, people are more likely to acquire music legally and the industry of downloadable music will continue. Imagine how many customers the itunes music store would have if the new Coldplay album was as expensive as the in store version, or at least, closely priced. How many people would be willing to give up many of the rights that come with cd ownership (ability to control digital audio format, quality, and portable player compatibility) for an inferior product? The reason the iTunes store works so well now is that people are willing to loose those rights or take the $.99 hit to avoid the wrath of the RIAA. Downloadable music only works because at the end of the day, the loss of quality and control is worth the convenience and the cost.
The only reason people use any of these sites is to gain yet another glimpse into the life of a person they know nothing about. I never really understood these sites - you post information about yourself that your friends already know and that others shouldn't know. Seriously, what's the benefit?
I'm sorry to disagree with most of the/. opinions, but so be it.
CEO is a title, not a job, different corporations have CEOs that are responsible for a variety of different tasks; reading the job description of different CEOs make many seem like different jobs, the only similarity being the title.
The most successful CEOs are those that have the best interpersonal skills and are capable of harnessing the support of his/her workers to accomplish organizational goals. Having a financial background is not always a requirement, nor is it always helpful. Often times, finance types are too focused on the details of the organization and are unable to think about long term strategy, personnel issues, and other decisions that are the priority of the chief executive officer.
If your partner is better organizational leader, has better interpersonal skills, or has a better vision of the future of the company, then by all accounts, he should be the CEO. If you feel that you have those abilities, then you should be the CEO.
As a private company, you have no obligation to declare a CEO - and at this stage in the venture, it seems like a better idea to use titles that more reflect your current roles (financial officer and programing officer, etc). If and when you decide to go public reevaluate the situation. Laws of various listing bodies (stock exchanges and what not) require the CEO to oversee things that perhaps neither of you are capable of.
In summary - CEO is a title that your organization only really needs if its going to go public. As long as you and your partner both understand your respective authority and talents within the organization, there's no need to be burdened with the overhead that accompanies the title. Stick with descriptive titles of jobs performed - (It's difficult to have a chief executive officer if there are no other executives.) When it's time to go public your company will have a better understanding of what's needed to function, what skill sets are available internally, and who fills what role. In more cases then not, the job usually goes to an outsider.
It's H.M. Elizabeth. Where H.M. is Her Majesty. H.R.H, Her Royal Highness, is the correct form of address for the children of the Sovereign, the children of the sons of the Sovereign, and the eldest son of the eldest son of The Prince of Wales.
Also, it's Elizabeth II Regina.
Elizabeth Regina has been dead since 1603.
If you're going to make a joke, at least get your facts straight.
