![]() ![]() That has cost Valeant the chance to pursue other targets, in line with its strategy of growth through acquisitions. Instead, Valeant and Allergan exchanged potentially damaging critiques in a long conflict. Valeant must have known the move would put Allergan in play, but with Pershing Square’s votes and market clout Pearson would have hoped to have the edge. ![]() What was novel was Ackman’s agreement ahead of time with Valeant, a potential buyer of Allergan, to work together. Ackman’s fund was up a very strong 31 percent this year through the end of October, Reuters reported earlier this month. Activism has been a money-spinner in recent years, delivering among the best returns of all hedge-fund strategies in 2012, 2013 and so far in 2014, according to indexes maintained by Hedge Fund Research. There’s nothing new or problematic about an investor buying a stake in a company, as Pershing Square did with a 9.7 percent stake in Allergan, and then agitating for a sale. ![]() Valeant lost time and risked legally questionable tactics. But with Actavis snatching the quarry, Ackman and Allergan’s owners have made out best. The $45 billion drug company’s failed tilt at Allergan alongside Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square landed a $400 million windfall. Valeant has tried a seven-month M&A experiment that boss Michael Pearson – and other corporate chiefs – should think twice about repeating. ![]()

It is fascinating, a powerful reminder of how narrow a set of solutions dominates the public’s attention. A set of scenarios show the cumulative potential. In fact, with the exception of a few thoughtful essays scattered throughout, it’s basically a reference book: a list of solutions, ranked by potential carbon impact, each with cost estimates and a short description. ![]() Unlike most popular books on climate change, it is not a polemic or a collection of anecdotes and exhortations.

The result? A more open, better informed, and questioning mind, which is better prepared for discovering both truth and contrivance. Bart Ehrman, an agnostic New Testament scholar, debates Craig Evans, an evangelical New Testament scholar, about the historical Jesus and what constitutes "history." Their interaction includes such compelling questions What are sound methods of historical investigation? What are reliable criteria for determining the authenticity of an ancient text? What roles do reason and inference play? And, of course, interpretation ? Readers of this debate―regardless of their interpretive inclinations and biases―are sure to find some confirmation of their existing beliefs, but they will surely also find an honest and well-informed challenge to the way they think about the historical Jesus. This book features a learned and fascinating debate between two great Bible scholars about the New Testament as a reliable source on the historical Jesus. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But all bets are off as a supernatural war is unleashed… To save her family and maybe the world, she’ll have to put her trust in Zayne. Zayne has secrets of his own that will upend her world yet again-but working together becomes imperative once demons breach the compound and Trinity’s secret comes to light.

![]() ![]() ![]() This is really two stories in one, and I love how it all came together at the end. My impression of the characters switched at various times because all of them are flawed but kind, uncertain but loyal, and everyone wants what's best for Zach and Olivia.
