5 Ways Pets Can Improve Your Health
A pet is certainly a great friend. After a difficult day, pet owners quite literally feel the love.
In fact, for nearly 25 years, research has shown that living with pets provides certain health benefits. Pets help lower blood pressure and lessen anxiety. They boost our immunity. They can even help you get dates.

Omega-3 Fish Oil Supplements for High Blood Pressure
In the past 10 years, many Americans have turned to omega-3 fish oil supplements. Dietary fish and fish oil supplements have benefits for healthy people and also those with heart disease. Omega-3 fish oil contains both docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Omega-3 fatty acids are very important in preventing and managing heart disease. Findings show omega-3 fish oil may help to: Lower blood pressure Reduce triglycerides Slow the development of plaque in the arteries ...

Allergy Fighters
"The old thinking was that if your family had a pet, the children were more likely to become allergic to the pet. And if you came from an allergy-prone family, pets should be avoided," says researcher James E. Gern, MD, a pediatrician at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
However, a growing number of studies have suggested that kids growing up in a home with "furred animals" -- whether it's a pet cat or dog, or on a farm and exposed to large animals -- will have less risk of allergies and asthma, he tells WebMD.
In his recent study, Gern analyzed the blood of babies immediately after birth and one year later. He was looking for evidence of an allergic reaction, immunity changes, and for reactions to bacteria in the environment.
If a dog lived in the home, infants were less likely to show evidence of pet allergies -- 19% vs. 33%. They also were less likely to have eczema, a common allergy skin condition that causes red patches and itching. In addition, they had higher levels of some immune system chemicals -- a sign of stronger immune system activation.
"Dogs are dirty animals, and this suggests that babies who have greater exposure to dirt and allergens have a stronger immune system," Gern says.
Date Magnets
Dogs are great for making love connections. Forget Internet matchmaking -- a dog is a natural conversation starter.
This especially helps ease people out of social isolation or shyness, Nadine Kaslow, PhD, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Emory University in Atlanta, tells WebMD.
"People ask about breed, they watch the dog's tricks," Kaslow says. "Sometimes the conversation stays at the 'dog level,' sometimes it becomes a real social interchange."
Dogs for the Aged
"Studies have shown that Alzheimer's patients have fewer anxious outbursts if there is an animal in the home," says Lynette Hart, PhD, associate professor at the University of California at Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.
"Their caregivers also feel less burdened when there is a pet, particularly if it is a cat, which generally requires less care than a dog," says Hart.
Walking a dog or just caring for a pet -- for elderly people who are able -- can provide exercise and companionship. One insurance company, Midland Life Insurance Company of Columbus, Ohio, asks clients over age 75 if they have a pet as part of their medical screening -- which often helps tip the scales in their favor.

MARYLAND - While folks across Delmarva might be getting ready to hit the town for Cinco De Mayo, police are reminding you not to drink and drive.
Maryland state police troopers will be out working a variety of enforcement programs throughout the state, including DUI saturation patrols and checkpoints, but the efforts aren't only for impaired drivers.
"You can also be in just as much trouble if you are caught walking in the roadway. Pedestrians are only allowed to be in certain parts of the roadway like cross walks, so if you are unfortunately intoxicated and walking around in the roadway, it may be harder for drivers to see you," says TFC Kevin Moore with the Maryland State Police.And as an aside, Cinco De Mayo isn't Mexican Independence Day as many may think.
It actually commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

Measurement of Trends in Poverty and the Income Distribution
AbstractThis paper reports on the recent evolution of the distribution of income and income poverty in five European countries: Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy and the UK. The aim is to demonstrate the value of a unified perspective by asking the same questions of evidence from a range of sources. The paper draws on studies of individual countries and on studies which compare two or more countries. It focuses on the 1980s and 1990s, although comparable evidence from earlier years is also reported.

John Moraga vs. John Dodson added to UFC Fight Night card in Albuquerque
On Wednesday, the UFC announced former title challengers John Moraga and John Dodson will square off the second time.
The two previously met at Nemesis Fighting: MMA Global Invasion in the Dominican Republic back in 2010 where fans saw Dodson earn the unanimous decision victory before heading the bright lights of the UFC. Now four years later, these two octagon warriors will meet again in a bout that could reshape the top of the flyweight division for the foreseeable future.
Moraga, currently ranked number six at 125-pounds according to the Power MMA rankings, is coming off a close split decision victory over Dustin Ortiz at UFC Fight Night 35 back in January. Prior to this victory, Maryvale's proudest son saw his seven-fight win streak snapped at the hands of UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson in the main event of UFC on Fox 8. While a win over Dodson may not be enough to earn the former Sun Devil an immediate shot at Johnson, it would propel Moraga into the top 5 of the flyweight division and within one victory from earning his second title shot.
Since winning The Ultimate Fighter 17 bantamweight tournament, Dodson has amassed a record of 4-1 inside a UFC octagon with his lone loss coming at the hands of Johnson in the main event of UFC on Fox 6. His most recent victory was a knockout of the night performance over Darrell Montague at UFC 166 back in October. Now currently ranked number three at 125-pound according the Power MMA rankings, an impressive win over Moraga could be enough to earn the New Mexico native another shot at Johnson's title.
This event is scheduled to take place June 7 at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, NM. The main events is set to feature former UFC Lightweight champion Benson Henderson squaring off against Dodson's teammate Rustam Khabilov.

Comment on 'Toshiba ups the game with laptop duo' article
There is already a better such Toshiba laptop available in the UK since August! It is the Satellite X200-20S, actually featuring the NVIDIA GeForce 8700M GT card and otherwise indistinguishable from the two described in the article (see the TOSHIBA UK website). By the way, checking the US websites of laptop manufacturers is only a rough guide (albeit a useful one) of what is likely to be released in the UK and not an accurate one, as both Toshiba and HP Marketing have pointed out to me.
By the way, congratulations for an excellent.all-round e-publication!

RBC Capital Markets Internet analyst Mark Mahaney this afternoon reiterates an Outperform rating on shares of Facebook (FB), and a $92 price target, writing that estimates are way too low given how Google (GOOGL) performed at a similar time in the its evolution.
Facebook is his number one pick among large-cap Internet stocks, he writes, given that it has "become a mobile company," with more than 60% of revenue coming from mobile usage of its properties.
Delving into specifics, Mahaney sees three important metrics that give him confidence.
The first is the Google comparison:
For the next 4 quarters, the Street pegs FB's growth rate at 43%, whereas at a similar revenue base, Google was able to sustain 61% growth [...] In Q2:14, FB produced revenue of $2.9B, similar to Google's gross revenue in Q3:06. For the four quarters following Google's Q3:06, its gross revenue grew an average of 61%, which is materially above current FB Consensus revenue growth estimates of 43%. What's more Google, averaged 51% growth over the eight quarters following Q3:06 and 37% growth over the twelve quarters following Q3:06. These rates are well above current Facebook Consensus growth estimates. They suggest that IF Facebook executes well and continues to establish itself as a leading Internet advertising platform, it should be able to grow at a faster rate than currently assumed.
Where will that growth come from? From things like "An increasingly robust Internet Advertising market, as well as potential contributions from Instagram Monetization, Autoplay Video Ads, Facebook's Audience Network (FAN), and WhatsApp also provide support for an outlook for continued positive estimates revisions."
In fact, point number two is that those four things, Instagram, Autoplay video ads, the FAN, and WhatsApp, are Facebook's "greenfield" opportunities.
He writes, "With varying levels of conviction, we have estimated the potential 2015 P&L contributions from these Four Greenfields and believe that in combination, they may be able to contribute $2.7B+ in incremental revenue and $0.34+ in incremental EPS in 2015."
Third, Mahaney avers that Facebook is the "least expensive Internet Large Cap Stock, on a growth-adjusted basis."
"On average the 10 Large Cap Internet Stocks trade at an EV/EBITDA/Growth ratio of 0.63x on 2015 EBITDA estimates," he continues, "whereas FB trades at a ratio of 0.33X. The point is that FB shares offer both growth and value and are attractive."
Facebook shares today closed up 96 cents, or 1.3%, at $74.82.
Shares of online advertising buying technology company TubeMogul (TUBE), which went public July 18th, are up $2.13, or 23%, at $11.35, after the company this afternoon beat Q2 revenue expectations and delivered a surprise profit in its first public report, and also forecast this quarter's, and the full year's, revenue above consensus.
Revenue in the three months ended in June rose 133%, year over year, to $28.7 million, yielding EPS of a penny.
Analysts had been expecting $24.7 million and a 15-cent loss per share.
CEO Brett Wilson called the results "strong" and said the company continued to win clients for its software.
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue of $20 million to $22 million, topping consensus of $18.9 million.
For the full year, the company sees revenue of $98 milion to $102 million, beating consensus of $91.7 million.
The company also forecasts what it calls "total spend" on advertising transacted by customers through the company's "platform." That amount is expected to be in a range of $46 million to $48 million this quarter, down from $61 million last quarter, and $218 million to $220 million for the year.
RBC Capital Markets's Mark Mahaney today notes Internet stocks have stopped crashing, and advises investors to jump back into shares of a few of his select names: Facebook (FB), Amazon.com (AMZN), Priceline (PCLN) among large-caps, Zulily (ZU), Yelp (YELP), and BankRate (RATE) among small- and medium-caps.
Follow-on picks in large-caps are Google (GOOGL), and Netflix (NFLX), with Pandora Media (P) and Shutterstock (SSTK).
Mahaney notes that the "carnage" that greeted Q1 reports from the group, with their shares falling 20% through May, eventually turned around, with the stocks trading 14% since that time.
Investors responded more "rationally" to Q2 results, rewarding comapnies that beat, including Facebook and Twitter (TWTR) and LinkedIn (LNKD) with big jumps in share price.
He notes several surprising developments, as well, during Q2 earnings:
Earnings this quarter had its fair share of surprises, both within the Large Cap ($10B+) and the Mid/Small Cap space. Within the Large Cap Net Stocks, TWTR showed the largest 1-day price increase, rising 20% following a Beat & Raise Q2 where the company showed very strong fundamentals and (more importantly) better-than-expected metrics. There had been some third-party calls that Twitter's MAU results would come in soft, but those proved inaccurate. Not surprising given that Twitter can't even track its own MAU trends… Moving
on, LNKD also showed a solid 1-day price appreciation of 12% after surprising investors with higher than expected revenue and EBITDA results and a raised outlook. AMZN, however, had a 10% one-day price decline following mixed Q2 results and a materially lowered Q3 profit guide.
Within the Mid/Small Cap 'Net Space, there were also several notable 1-day price changes ('tho most were negative). RUBI had a 27% 1-day price change after reporting a Beat & Raise Quarter – 'tho the stock is currently only up ~7%, having relinquished much of its earnings price gain (adtech… anyone?). And at the other end of the spectrum, SALE's stock dropped 28% the day after delivering a Miss & Lower Quarter, while WWWW also experienced a sharp correction following soft Q results and lowered 2014 guidance ('tho partially due to a voluntary strategic decision of exiting a non-core acquired business). KING's stock deteriorated 23% in one day, after reporting weak results and an acceleration in the decline of its star Candy Crush franchise. Lastly, GRPN also showed a 1-day price decrease of 13% after missing on revenue and reducing its EBITDA Guide.
Fundamental demand in online advertising, travel and e-commerce has not fallen apart, notes Mahaney, quipping "still seems accurate to say that the Internet will be big one day…"
Q2 Internet Demand Trends were generally consistent with – to modestly better than – Q1 and 2013 growth levels. For example, Google's Q2 Advertising Revenue growth of 19% Y/Y was above Q1's growth rate of 17% and 2013's level of 16% [...] And Priceline's Q2 Bookings growth of 33% Y/Y was relatively consistent with – though a bit below – Q1:14 and 2013 levels. The point here is that there, arguably, have not been any major inflections in underlying Demand Trends. (Facebook growth marked significant deceleration and Expedia's growth marked significant acceleration vs. prior periods, but these results were largely due to materially different comps and/or inorganic contributions.)
He notes stock valuations are generally on the rise:
Using changes in 2015 EV/EBITDA multiples since the beginning of May as indicators – we have tracked a relatively consistent upward move. Across the 10 Large Cap Internet stocks, the median EV/EBITDA has increased 6%, from 15.1X to 17.2X. Notable rises in valuations could be seen with NFLX and LNKD, where the forward multiples increased almost 30%. The stocks across the Large Cap space are, by and large, very different business models with very different fundamental outlooks. The lack of a significant rise in valuations lead us to believe that select good Buying Opportunities still remain…
Shares of online real estate listings provider Zillow (Z) are down $2.42, or 1.7%,a t $138.64, after the company this afternoon reported Q2 revenue that beat analysts' expectations, but missed on the bottom line, and projected this quarter's revenue above consensus, and raised its full-year revenue view above consensus.
Revenue in the three months ended in June rose 68%, year over year, to $78.7 million, yielding a net loss of 5 cents per share, excluding some costs.
Analysts had been modeling $76.3 million and a 4-cent loss per share.
CEO Spencer Rascoff remarked that Zillow "had our strongest quarter yet with record consumer traffic and record revenue and bookings by Premier Agent advertisers
Rascoff said the company made a "deliberate focus on high-performing agents" and that "their teams drove the significant increase in orders, and has prompted us to increase our full-year outlook."
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue in a range of $87 million to $88 million. That compares to the average estimate for $82.6 million.
For the full year, the company sees revenue in a range of $321 million to $323 million, versus a prior forecast for $304 million to $308 million. That comapres to the average $310.8 million estimate on the Street.
MKM Partners's Rob Sanderson this morning reiterates a Buy rating on shares of Yelp (YELP), and an $86 price target, and raises his estimates, after concluding that "the earnings power inherent in YELP's business is beginning to show through."
Sanderson's estimates for this quarter rise to $98.3 million in revenue and $19.1 million in adjusted Ebitda and 5 cents per share in profit, up from $96.3 million, $13.2 million, and a 2-cent loss per share. For the full year, he is modeling $375 million, $66 million and a 13-cent profit versus a prior estimate of $368 million, $49 million and an 8-cent loss.
Sanderson concedes the bear case is helped by slow user adoption by local businesses in Q2, writing:
Net customer additions (LBAs) were clearly weaker than we expected. This will raise the level of controversy on the stock. There is a growing discussion/division of opinion on the street regarding customer attrition and addressable market. Weaker customer additions will fuel the Bear story.
Despite that, Sanderson thinks there's more growth to come:
Business that approach saturation slow down. YELP's oldest market are growing 70% and accelerating and newer markets are much faster. We remain confident there is a large growth cycle ahead for the company.
Yelp shares today are down 84 cents, or 0.9%, at $94.75.
Shares of online deals purveyor RetailMeNot (SALE) continue their sharp decline from last night, currently down $5.79, or almost 23%, at $19.51, after the company yesterday afternoon reported Q2 revenue that missed analysts' expectations, and beat on the bottom line, forecast revenue this quarter lower as well, and cut its year revenue view below consensus.
RetailMeNot's been a drama in recent months, with changes by Google (GOOGL) to the search giant's search algorithm hurting RetailMeNot's traffic from paid search results. (There are other issues for the company, as chronicled by The Wall Street Journal's Miriam Gottfried in July).
During the conference call that followed the report, CEO Cotter Cunningham was obviously asked about the impact of the changes, but he dismissed the concerns:
Sure. I think in general, Deb, every search impact is a little bit — every search change is a little bit different. Every algorithm shift has a different impact on us. In general, though, we don't see anything in this one that gives us more pause than previous ones or increases our concern. There is always something that you just have to knuckle down and work through. I think the short answer is nothing unusual or exceptional in this particular algorithm change versus previous ones. We have had progress. So far we are pleased with results to date, it does take some time. But it is certainly my goal to get back our rankings like we had prior to the change, and I think it is the goal of everyone in our Company.
The stock has gotten at least one downgrade this morning, that I can see, from RBC Capital Markets's Mark Mahaney, who cut his rating to Sector Perform from Outperform, writing that Google will remain a challenge:
We upgraded shares of SALE to Outperform on January 3. That call was largely based on valuation and what we viewed as a nicely intact Long Thesis. With the stock down 31% YTD, that call has clearly been wrong. The major change was the impact of the Google algo change on SALE's fundamentals. But why downgrade the stock here, especially down 21% in the after-market? Because: 1) Implied Q4 guidance implies a Q/Q recovery in EBITDA margins of approx. 1,000 bps, which seems overly aggressive; 2) We believe that Google, as it expands more aggressively down the ecommerce funnel (e.g., PLAs, Google Shopping) may constitute a substantial long-term challenge to SALE's fundamentals; and 3) Trading at a 27x P/E and 10x EV/EBITDA on our '14 estimates, the stock is not inexpensive, despite the correction.
There are certainly some defenders, though. Ralph Schackart with William Blair, reiterates an Outperform rating, writing that the stock "about $4 to $5 of downside at these levels, which assumes 2014 EBITDA declines year-over-year to $80 million (below the revised 2014 range of $87 million to $95 million) and the stock trades at a multiple of about 8 to 9 times that figure."
The shares could have upside to $24 to $25, he thinks, and so "the current valuation could be attractive to investors who can stomach near-term volatility as the company continues to work through the decline in organic search traffic."
Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of local deals provider Angie's List (ANGI) are down $2.13, or 21%, at $8.04, after 8 analysts downgraded the stock on a lower-than-expected Q2 report and weak outlook. The company is struggling with its deeply discounted email offers program "Big Deal."
Facebook (FB) shares are up $4.94, or almost 7%, at $76.23, continuing to add to gains after the company reported Q2 revenue and earnings per share that topped analysts' expectations, marked by a sharp rise in the percentage of revenue coming from ads on the mobile version of the social network. Price targets are zooming at multiple shops as analysts noted the company's pricing power.
Shares of Nokia (NOK) are up 63 cents, or over 8%, at $8.32, after the company this morning reported Q2 revenue of €2.9 billion and EPS of 6 Euro cents, beating consensus for €2.91 billion and 4 cents per share.
Evercore Partners's Mark McKechnie reiterates an Equal Weight rating on the shares, writing that the fundamentals for the company's "NSN" network equipment business were "very good," up 10% from the prior quarter, and with 11% operating margins. He also likes the outlook for NSN sales to rise in this second half of the year. Most of the strength is coming from Europe, he notes.
Shares of Qualcomm (QCOM) are down $5.13, or 6.3%, at $76.47, after the company yesterday reported better-than-expected fiscal Q3 results and outlook for this quarter, and raised its year EPS view, while noting that many device makers in China are refusing to honor Qualcomm's license claims to royalties.
This morning came word that Chinese regulators at the National Development and Reform Commission, which had been investigating the company's royalty practices, declared the company a monopoly, and said it would soon announce the results of the investigation, according to a summary by Gao Yuan in ChinaDaily.
Qualcomm shares got two downgrades, that I can see, from Evercore Partners and Susquehanna, and some price target cuts here and there.
Susquehanna's Chris Caso, cutting his rating to Neutral from "Positive," writs that with the reduced outlook for China, "Given that change in expectation, the central element of our bullish thesis – incremental royalties from China Mobile 4G – becomes highly uncertain."
On the other hand, Bernstein Research's Stacy Rasgon reiterates an Outperform rating, but cuts his price target to $85 from $90, writing that although China will continue to pressure the stock, "our rough analysis suggests the company can achieve QTL growth in the mid to high single digits in CY2015 even without resolving China, immediate downside is not enormous given lower ASPs in the region, chipsets are firing on all cylinders, and the shares remain very cheap."
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) shares are down 8 cents at $34.90, after the company announced it would make a $50 million equity investment in Hortonworks, the venture-backed startup distributing the open-source Hadoop data management software.
Hortonworks CEO Rob Beardon remarked in a phone call this morning that the money, and the collaboration the company will undertake with HP, will help efforts to achieve "faster, deeper tighter integration" between Hadoop and HP programs such as Vertica, and that customers "expect global support and services" for their Hadoop installation, which HP can bring.
Shares of Facebook (FB) are up $4.01, or almost 6%, at $75.30, adding to last night's gains, after the company reported Q2 revenue and earnings per share that topped analysts' expectations, marked by a sharp rise in the percentage of revenue coming from ads on the mobile version of the social network.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg on the conference call emphasized further opportunities on mobile, stating,
One thing that's exciting is that there's still so much room to grow. On average, people on Facebook in the US spend around 40 minutes each day using our service, including about one in five minutes on mobile. This is more than any other app by far, but overall, people in the US spend nine hours per day engaging with digital media on TVs, phones, and computers.
This morning there are a raft of price target increases.
Topeka Capital Markets's Victor Anthony reiterates a Buy rating, and raises his price target to $100 from $80, writing that the stock is still his "top pick."
"Management has delivered results above our expectations on all metrics for the past two years," he observes. "No other company in our coverage universe has this track record. As a result, we believe the shares should trade at a premium multiple to the peer group."
Facebook used pricing power in the quarter, and got leverage on expenses, he notes:
The 2% revenue beat versus our expectation was driven by pricing, which accelerated to 123% YoY from 118% YoY in 1Q14, and above our 95% expectation, partially offset by impressions which declined 25% YoY vs. a 17% decline in 1Q14 and our estimate of a 16% decline. The $0.11 EPS beat vs. our expectations was due, in part, to the revenue beat, but mostly from the 30% less COGS than we had modeled, and 30% less G&A expenses than we had modeled. Only 1.5mm, or 5%, of the 30mm businesses on Facebook are active marketers – a wide-open opportunity for FB to add additional advertisers..FB users spend 40 minutes per day on FB including 1-5 minutes on mobile.
Anthony raises his estimates for this year to $12.24 billion and $1.58 per share from a prior $11.99 billion and $1.42.
CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets's James Lee has similar observations about pricing and leverage. He reiterates a Buy rating, and raises his target to $95 from $80, calling the company the "most attractive story in our universe due to its meaningful leverage and multiple revenue drivers."
The company continues to drive pricing leverage from a positive mix shift to mobile, improved relevancy with new products and targeting technologies and an accelerated monetization in Europe. With a fixed cost infrastructure, the operating leverage was very strong at nearly 60% OPM […] ricing levers include new ad formats like videos, which are more engaging, and new ad technologies such as website custom audiences and lookalike modelling. Both innovations will continue to drive pricing leverage and close the gap between FB and the industry.
Lee raises his 2014 estimate to $12.05 billion and $7.72 billion from a prior $11.53 billion and $6.89 billion. That nets out to $1.52 per share in EPS for this year.
And Goldman Sachs's Heather Bellini reiterates a Buy rating and raises her target to $78 from $85, writing that the company is nearing what she calls "always on" advertising.
" Due to the reach and efficacy of Facebook ads, we believe the likelihood is increasing that Facebook will increasingly become an "always on" ad medium for investors, much like search is today."
Bellini ads that Facebook has room to grow in "all major industries," and that its Instagram property and Messenger app, and its mobile ad network, "all present considerable opportunities for the company."
Update: Facebook shares have reversed course strongly and are now up $2.91, or almost 5%, at $74.20.
Shares of Facebook (FB) are down 4 cents at $71.25 in late trading after the company this afternoon reported Q2 revenue and earnings per share that comfortably beat expectations, as users rose 19% and mobile users rose 14%.
Revenue in the three months ended in June rose to $2.91 billion, yielding EPS of 42 cents.
Analysts had, on average, been modeling $2.81 billion and 32 cents.
Facebook's "daily active users," a measure of the site's traffic volume, rose to 829 million in Q2, up 19% from the prior-year period and up 3.4% from Q1′s level.
The total of mobile active users, on a daily basis, rose 39.4%, or 7.4% quarter over quarter, to 654 million.
Mobile ad revenue rose to 62% of revenue from 41% a year earlier, the company said.
On a monthly basis, average users and mobile average users rose 14% and 31%, respectively, to 1.32 billion and 1.07 billion.
Here are some things going on today in your world of tech:
The Nasdaq this morning welcomed a new entrant with the unfortunate name TubeMogul (TUBE), whose shares priced at $7, at the low end of an expected $7 to $8 range, and are now up 47% at $10.27.
The Emeryville, California-based company, founded in 2007, provides software to let companies plan their digital ad spend. The company lost 32 cents a share on revenue of $57.2 million last year, according to its S1 prospectus and had an accumulated deficit of $19.6 million as of the end of March.
Shares of Ericsson (ERIC) are up 92 cents, or almost 8%, at $12.61, after the company this morning reported revenue of Kr54.8 billion, and EPS of Kr1.07 a share, topping consensus of Kr52.6 billion and Kr1.02.
The stock is already getting some price target increases, including from skeptics. William Power with R.W. Baird, who has a Neutral rating on the stock, nevertheless raised his price target a buck to $13, writing that the results were "strong," with margins appearing to "stabilize […] though the sustainability of that remains a big question."
Further in earnings, there's certainly a lot going on with last night's reporting companies.
Shares of International Business Machines (IBM) are up a penny at $192.50 after the company beat Q2 expectations and affirmed a year EPS forecast yesterday afternoon. Analysts are encouraged by some less-bad signs in the hardware business.
Shares of Google (GOOGL) are up $21.10, or almost 4%, at $601.92, after the company yesterday beat profit expectations but missed on the bottom line. Analysts were raising their price targets and revenue estimates today, citing strengthening of the advertising business in mobile.
Shares of Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) are surging $6.52, or over 14%, at $52.86, as the Street enthuses over what it sees as the company's broadening variety of markets, following better than expected fiscal Q3 results and outlook yesterday afternoon.
Shares of chip maker Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) are plunging 82 cents, or almost 18%, at $3.76, as analysts debate whether the video game console market, which was supposed to be a boon for the company, has run its course in terms of the payoff for AMD.
Shares of storage maker Seagate Technology (STX) are down 18 cents, or 0.3%, at $59.33, following an in-line fiscal Q4 report yesterday afternoon, and a better-than-expected Q1 revenue view. CEO Steve Luczo remarked in my conversation with him following that a pick-up in PC buying that Intel (INTC) enjoyed last quarter is just starting to filter down to his world in the form of drive demand.
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are up $1.26, or 1.3%, at $94.35, after the company yesterday said it named Susan Wagner, co-founder and partner with investment titan BlackRock (BLK), to its board of directors, replacing longtime director Bill Campbell, who is retiring. Thus far, however, there has been a dearth of commentary from the Street regarding what the development might mean to Apple.

Spotlight on Duncan Webb
Duncan Webb has seen the future, and it's a tree-lined boulevard, dotted with galleries, shops, store-front theaters, and restaurants.
Duncan Webb
"We've gone from building palaces for the arts to creating districts where arts and cultural facilities are the main attraction," says the renowned arts consultant, speaking by phone from his office in Manhattan. "It's a whole new paradigm."
That's heady stuff for someone who has built his career on the backs of many large performing arts centers. Webb founded the eponymously named Webb Management Services in 1997 in response to the widespread need for help with the planning and operation of live performance spaces.
"It used to be that most of our work was about getting venues built or renovated," says Webb, a former banker from Toronto, Ontario. "Today, it's about how these buildings can survive, and there's no easy answer."
Webb thinks part of the solution lies in urban cultural districts, where painters and musicians mix with baristas and shop owners.
Rob Enslin in The College of Arts and Sciences (A&S), which houses the Janklow Program, recently caught up with Webb (DW) to discuss the fate of arts facilities:
A&S: How did you make the transition from banking to arts leadership?
DW: I had done a lot of theater in high school and college—acting, directing, and producing—so while I was working for a bank in Toronto, I sent out a letter to about 10 local experimental theater companies to see if I could volunteer for one of them. I didn't hear back from anybody for the longest time.
One day, I got a call from The Theatre Centre. It was one of Canada's first theater co-ops—five small companies that had banded together and had decided to make a go for it—and wasn't very organized. As a volunteer, I helped them form a board of directors, write a mission statement, create bylaws, and devise a budget. I was a "suit" operating in a creative environment, and I was captivated by the whole experience.
For the next seven years, I volunteered at The Theatre Centre and at various other companies throughout Toronto and Western Canada. Then I left banking to go into theater full-time and began producing commercial, alternative, and industrial theater. My industrial work, which included clients such as Volkswagen and [Mattel's] Barbie and the Rocker's, paid for my M.B.A. training at the University of Toronto.
A&S: Was this around the time of your involvement with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra?
DW: Yes. While I was in the MBA program, I got a call from the Toronto Symphony, which had just moved from Massey Hall, which they owned, to Roy Thompson Hall. They weren't exactly sure about what to do with Massey Hall, so they commissioned me to do a [feasibility] study. In the process, I got to know Theatre Project Consultants, which had an office in New York City and specialized in live performance spaces. They coached me through the study and after a year and half of my bugging them, they hired me. This was 1989, so I've been doing this kind of work for more than 24 years.
In 1997, I started Webb Management Services in New York City. To date, we've done more than 300 projects. We roam around the country, working with colleges, universities, municipalities, and nonprofit organizations on the development and operation of performing arts facilities.
A&S: Is this kind of work common in Canada?
DW: When I was coming up, there was nobody doing it in Canada, so I had to move to New York to pursue this career.
A&S: What did you get out of the for-profit sector?
DW: [long pause] Today, if you don't succeed in the for-profit sector, it's over. You place your bet on a show or an enterprise, and if you don't succeed, you roll up your tent and move on to the next thing.
It's different in the nonprofit sector, which has much more invested in building and sustaining organizations. That's why they're so darn hard to kill. A lot of people are resistant to letting go, and that's had a negative impact on the industry.
A&S: In other words—
DW: They are too many organizations holding on for too long. As a result, we have an oversupply of nonprofit arts companies in the United States competing for an ever-shrinking pool of funding and audiences.
A&S: Are mergers the answer?
DW: More than a decade ago, I enrolled in a seminar on the merger and consolidation of nonprofit organizations because I thought it was a growing trend. A decade later, it's finally starting to happen, even though there's a lot of resistance to them from staff and boards, due to issues of power and control. This is an emotionally driven sector that doesn't pursue economies and efficiencies the way it might.
A&S: Your bestselling book, Running Theaters [Allworth Press, 2005], examines best practices in virtually every aspect of facility management. How did it come about?
DW: I wanted to understand the difference between buildings that were "okay" and ones that were "great." What I learned is that a building reflects the people running it—their personalities, artistic points of view, connections with the community.
That book came out in 2005, arguably the high-water mark of the performing arts sector in this country. Since then, everything has gotten tougher.
A&S: Any chance of a second edition?
DW: Probably not. Nowadays, it's a different kind of struggle. ... Performing arts facilities are expensive and difficult to program. Moreover, their audiences are shrinking, private sector fundraising is more competitive, and public sector fundraising has become almost hostile.
A&S: Should public administrators become more involved?
DW: In some cities, they get it; in others, they don't. For instance, the Mesa Arts Center [in Arizona] was a city project completed eight years ago. They used a bond referendum to get the thing built and to support its operation. Initially, Mesa had a mayor who supported the project. The next one didn't and tried to kill it. And now the current mayor totally loves the project and wants to build a cultural district around the facility. He's been working with management and private sector leadership to make the district a reality. What happens next is largely determined by who is elected as the next mayor.
A&S: What about the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, where you met Mark Nerenhausen [the Janklow Program's founding director and professor of practice]?
DW: The Broward Center has done an amazing job of building relationships with the City of Fort Lauderdale and Broward County [Florida]. They've just completed a major renovation and are an important part of the Riverwalk Arts and Entertainment District. By integrating itself into the life of the community, the Broward Center is earning public sector support.
A&S: What about arts education?
DW: Ten to 15 years ago, arts education meant busing kids to a matinee performance. Today, many large facilities have 10-20 different educational programs that rely on external funding and community partnerships. It's come a long way.
A&S: Aside from the economy, what other hurdles do arts facilities face?
DW: Casinos are a major problem. Already, there's the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Fort Lauderdale. The state legislature just authorized three more destination-level casinos in the South Florida area. Casinos can afford to overpay their talent, so performers have little incentive to return to traditional nonprofit theaters. Performing arts facility managers are justifiably concerned.
A&S: Why is cultural tourism important?
DW: It's a great thing because the Web enables us to promote cultural activities and amenities that, in turn, bring visitors to an area. In the old days, if we visited somewhere, we got most of our information from the hotel concierge. Today, we do everything in advance because it's online.
Arts districts help with this, and the idea of using cultural activity to motivate commercial development within a specific area is powerful stuff.
A&S: How do we get arts and tourism leaders to work together?
DW: It's a matter of developing a common language around goals and metrics for success. I have several projects now in which I'm introducing tools such as the Balanced Scorecard to bring these leaders together, to improve their understanding of each other, and to motivate actions that serve their common interests.
A&S: What do you hope to get out of the Janklow partnership?
DW: I'm looking for high-quality research. Where better to find it than within an institution such as SU, in which learning and quality are pervasive? I'm also excited about working with Mark, for whom I have tremendous respect. When I met with him and his students in New York City a few months ago, I told them to be prepared for a world that is very different from the one of 10-15 years ago.
I think that to be successful, they will have to be much more independent and entrepreneurial and able to sell themselves on a per-project basis.

This post follows on from the previous post Ways with Small Card Toppers – those small "extra" toppers that is found on many sheets of card toppers now.
Use with Die Cuts
Many dies come in sets with up to 7 dies in a set and range from simple shapes to more intricate dies such as the Spellbinders Card Creator Tranquil Moments used in the card below.
These die sets of dies can be used individually or combined. If I was to use the full set alone, without further embellishment it would look a bit odd but often the smallest die in the set is just that – really small. I know it needs an extra something. Perhaps a small stamp? Or a die cut or punched flower? Or how about one of the small card toppers left over on the sheet?
This 5 x 7 inch card uses the full set of Tranquil Moments including the tag. The small round card topper placed in the centre of the mat and layered dies just finishes it off nicely. Instructions to make this card can be found in the Craftsite Gallery.
A Delightful Surprise
Here's another idea. This card was made by Mary.
Mary used a 6 x 6 inch card blank in ivory and the matching insert paper. First she embossed the front of the card using the Embossalicious Swirl corner. Using the inset paper and a spare piece of Stardream Quartz paper Mary die cut 2 ivory and 1 quartz book pages using the Marianne Creatables Open Book plus, again using the ivory insert paper, some ivy using the Marianne Creatables Ivy and a small butterfly using the Memory Box Pippi Butterfly. The butterfly is decorated with 3mm pearls and Mary added a tassel from her stash.
But what's this got to do with using small card toppers? Well, when the recipient opens the pages of the book………..
The card topper is nestled in the pages. This card topper is one of the smaller ones found on the Marianne Tiny's Country Garden 1 sheet.
So now when you've used all the larger card toppers on a sheet don't throw the sheet away or put it in your stash – use them to make more cards. It's surprising how many more cards you can make.

A Halifax charity that helps homeless people across the region is cranking it up a gear when it comes to fundraising.
Happydays charity has launched a social enterprise to sell 101 bikes by July 6, in the run up to the Tour de France - which is celebrating its 101st birthday, this year.
Bikes have been donated to the Threeways charity, Ovenden, by West Yorkshire Police, Voluntary Action for Calderdale, Halifax Opportunities Trust, from individuals and ebay purchases. Happydays volunteers, including former homeless people and unemployed youths, are then doing-up the donated bikes and selling to the public in order to raise money to help local homeless men and women.
It is hoped the project will raise £10,000.
With some of the profits, it is hoped a homeless pamphlet will be created to help men and women navigate Calderdale welfare services.
Project volunteer manager Rowan Robinson said the project has taught him problem solving and engineering skills.
He said: "It's great. We're getting to use our hands and work through the different mechanical processes of bikes as well as team building."
Happydays CEO Dave Fawcett said: "If anyone can donate a bike or if anyone wants to buy a bike at an affordable price - come see us at Threeways."
Bikes can also be part exchanged. Contact Happydays on 01422 361173 for more info.

Potakit 1 is a fully portable microbiological and physico-chemical testing kit designed to measure the key parameters of drinking water quality in the field.
The instruments in the Potakit use simple techniques with low cost consumables to enable those with a non-technical background and minimum training to obtain accurate test results. Potakit 2 is for microbiological use only.
The instruments involved are slightly less sophisticated than those in the Potalab – which in many cases makes the Potakit an affordable and effective resource.
Potakit 1 measures the following parameters: Faecal and Total Coliform, pH, Conductivity / TDS, Turbidity, Chlorine, Nitrates, Nitrates, Ammonia, Fluorides and Arsenic.

Demanding Accountability
Please keep in mind as you read this article about the attempted false sex-abuse prosecution of Michael Young of Medford, Ore., that the US~Observer has completed more than 1,600 false sex abuse cases successfully in the past 22 years.
This writer is much more aware than most that sex abuse occurs in our society. From 30 years of experience, 22 of those years publishing the US~Observer, I take the position that perverted sex offenders need severe punishment. I am also acutely aware that there are many false allegations of sex abuse today. And, solely from experience, I know exactly how to determine whether a sex abuse criminal charge is legit or contrived in a great majority of the cases I take on.
Too Fast, Too Furious: Jose Velasco-Veyro Faces False Federal Charges
We all know about the deadly mistake made by the Justice Department authorizing and releasing guns to cartels and common criminals in Mexico, and this "Fast and Furious" gun-running scheme remains a blemish on Attorney General Eric Holder's reputation. It, however, is being obfuscated by something more insidious: entrapment and further cover-up. The Justice Department is trying to divert attention from its own wrongdoings by framing certain innocent Hispanic-Americans for gun-running schemes that the Justice Department itself initiated. Further, by taking these law-abiding people, violating their civil rights by depriving them of medicines and placing them in dungeon-like cells, they prove themselves to be anything but the "Justice Department.
US~Observer presents an article that should outrage every American. Demand accountability!
How Do Innocent People Find Justice In America?
How do innocent people find justice in America? This is a valid question because, all too often, people don't find justice in America's legal system. The editors and investigative reporters at the US~Observer can attest to that firsthand. For more than 22 years, the US~Observer has worked hard and done what most attorneys fail to do. It has vindicated more than 4,200 people who had been wrongfully charged with or convicted of a crime.
Apart from the Innocence Project, which generally doesn't take cases unless they are tied to DNA, there is absolutely nowhere except the US~Observer that innocent people can turn after the so-called American justice system has attacked them.
Motive And Intent Irrelevant: State Of Oregon Attacks
(US~Observer) Linn County, Oregon — In 2007, when the stock market was going south on investors, registered investment adviser (RIA) Randy Gray and his partner, Scott Whitney, ran a successful business named ZurCrowner. Gray mainly handled investors, while Whitney conducted certified public accounting (CPA) for the partnership.
Whitney was also the CPA for Albany, Ore., general contractor Derek Dunmyer of Absolute General Contracting, Inc. (Absolute). Unbeknownst to Gray, Whitney was conducting business (loans, etc.) outside of ZurCrowner with Dunmyer and needed financial reprieve. Because of the miserable stock market performance, Gray knew several ZurCrowner clients wanted to diversify their portfolios.
The Gross Injustice Of Obamacare
As a writer for the US~Observer, I'm accustomed to finding injustice within government and the justice system; but one injustice among many from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, is particularly shameful.
I'm talking about the fines that people will have to pay for not signing up for having their money taken and receiving little, if anything, good in return from Obamacare. Many people who don't have healthcare now don't because either they don't want it or can't afford it.
Ex-Cop Sues City Over Wrongful Termination
Basehor, Kan. — US~Observer Special Report — When the act of bullying comes to mind, one tends to think that it is primarily a problem that kids and school principals have to deal with. But sometimes it's an issue adults must cope with as well. Such appears to be the case for Jason Cory, who worked as a police officer in Basehor, Kan., from September 2007 to July 2010 and is now suing the city for his wrongful termination.
Cory's lawsuit alleges that although many city officials considered him an exemplary officer, during his nearly three years on Basehor's police force, he was regularly "ridiculed and belittled" by Police Chief Lloyd Martley and his right-hand man, Lieutenant Robert Pierce.
Deserving Release: Relief For A Wrongfully Convicted Man?
West Palm Beach, Fla. — US~Observer Special Report — Since his conviction of DUI manslaughter on Sept. 15, 2011, Jamie Clark has adamantly maintained his innocence. Clark's attorneys, Benjamin Waxman and Alan Ross of Robbins, Tunkey, Ross, Amsel, Robins & Waxman filed a motion for post-conviction relief (new trial) on Feb. 13.
On March 1, Florida's 4th District Court of Appeals granted Waxman's motion, relinquishing jurisdiction to the trial court, giving the trial court power to rule on Clark's argument that the State of Florida committed a Brady violation by withholding exculpatory evidence (evidence that could have been used to prove his innocence) during his first trial. Waxman's motion referred to "newly discovered evidence" not being disclosed to the defense that clearly contributed to Clark's conviction. The motion further claimed that ineffective assistance of counsel committed by Clark's trial defense attorney violated Clark's 6th Amendment right to be adequately represented.
Conservatives: The Best Defense Is A Good Offense
Conservative Americans like to think they are defending the founding principles of the United States, defending individual rights and the Constitution. They are doing no such thing.
Don't get me wrong. Conservatives study, express, believe in and support American principles. But defending? No.
George Zimmerman Versus Goliath
On July 13, a jury of six women returned the only verdict it could, not guilty, in the false prosecution case of 29-year-old George Zimmerman.
Subsequent to Zimmerman's shooting and killing Trayvon Martin in self-defense, Florida State Attorney Norm Wolfinger refused to prosecute Zimmerman after local police investigated the case and concluded that no crime had been committed. Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee was fired by Sanford City Manager Norton Bonaparte for refusing to arrest Zimmerman.
'New' IRS Abuse Is The Same Old Story
Here we go again, or rather, it just keeps on going.
The Internal Revenue Service, the same agency that took lavish trips on the taxpayers' dime and discriminated against conservative groups that applied for tax-exempt status, is up to its old tricks of threatening criminal charges against people who for years have sought to work out their back tax issues.
