Yesterday's New York Times included the article: "Evangelicals Debate the Meaning of 'Evangelical'" (free subscription required). It begins:
TODAY, on Easter, evangelical Christians can celebrate knowing that they are part of a movement that has never been so powerful or so large. But like any dominating force, evangelicalism is not monolithic, and it seems that now, at a time of heightened power, old fissures are widening, and new theological and political splits are developing.
Perhaps it's not surprising that these conflicts are occurring as many of evangelicalism's elder statesmen — most notably, the Rev. Billy Graham — are retiring, and a new generation of leaders is vying to define its center.
"When he leaves the scene, there will be some deep fractures that come out into the open and become wider," said Roger E. Olson, a theology professor at Baylor University's Truett Theological Seminary. "It will be harder for anyone to talk about evangelicalism as a movement with any unity."
Evangelical leaders have clashed recently over a range of issues, including whether the movement should get involved in the debates over global warming and immigration. A tug of war is also unfolding behind the scenes over theology — should evangelicalism be a big tent, open to more divergent views, or a smaller, purer theology?

Hi! I found your Blog and BlogSearch, I think the dialogue on immigration is very important and must be discussed from all perspectives.
With your insights I would love to have you take a look at a mini-series I wrote last week on the subject and, if you want to, join in the dialogue…

Kathleen McClaskey's curator insight, November 21, 4:21 PM
The Reggio Emilia approach is about having children seen as competent, resourceful, curious, imaginative, inventive and to possess a desire to interact and communicate with others. The learning environment, the third educator, invites learners to explore and discover on their own as teachers and parents observe and document the process.
Norton Gusky's curator insight, November 22, 9:09 AM
Carnegie Mellon University and Carlow University in Pittsburgh have been leaders in using the Reggio Emilia model for early childhood. Reggio Emilia sees technology as one tool that actively engages the child. The environment is really a Maker Space giving young learners the tools to learn based on their interests.

Kathleen McClaskey's curator insight, November 24, 1:45 PM
The learner uses the UDL lens to share their strengths and challenges in learning, their preferences or needs to access, engage and express as well as their aspirations, talents and interests. At that moment when a learner is able to tell their story about how they learn with their teacher, the "partnership in learning" begins between the teacher and the learner. This opens the door for the teacher to have a conversation with the learner about learning goals, skills and strategies that the learner needs to work on to reduce any barriers and maximize learning. The undeniable outcome in using the UDL lens is that the child has been validated as a learner. This is something that rarely occurs today in anyone's education and will have a positive and profound impact for any learner.

Kathleen McClaskey's curator insight, November 17, 6:12 PM
Chris Watkins' article, Research Matters: Learning, Performance and Improvement, is about the relationship between learning in schools and performance in schools. Watkins' research concludes that a focus on learning can enhance performance, where a focus on performance alone can depress performance. With traditional instruction, the climate in the classrooms becomes more performance oriented over years of schooling.
A performance-oriented environment focuses on looking good
rather than learning well.

A condom. So named because its use implies that the wearer is well endowed (hence, it fits snugly).
Oh, man. I was this close to getting laid, but neither of us had a snuggy.

Same as a wedgie only lifting up the FRONT of the pants, so the victim's genitalia are suddenly divided & pinched/crushed by his or her underwear, i.e. an acute case of camel-toe.
The daring perp must move swiftly to administer a painful snuggy without himself being assaulted.

Similar to a wedgie but the FRONT of the drawers & pants are heisted upward with great velocity, thereby dividing & pinching the victim's genitalia, i.e. giving him/her an acute case of camel-toe. It's also a 'discernibly turgid' look intentionally worn by hair bands like Cinderella.
Trousers soon became the bane of nerds everywhere when bullies discovered the hilarity induced by delivering a crack-splitting wedgy and scrotum-smashing snuggy.

NJ mayor Booker set for food stamp challengeDecember 3, 2012 @ 11:25 pm
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker is prepared for a food stamp challenge.
He and one of his Twitter followers each plan to live for a week on the monetary equivalent of food stamps or less.
The mayor's week starts Tuesday. The North Carolina woman's began Sunday.
The mayor prepared for the challenge with a grocery purchase of $27.98.
Booker tweeted a picture of a receipt of the purchases he made Saturday at a Pathmark store in neighboring Irvington. The vegetarian mayor's grocery list included pink and black beans, corn and red delicious apples.
Booker declined requests Monday to be interviewed. He is using social media to provide updates.
Other city officials around the country have taken part in similar challenges, including Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter this past April.

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) - Intelligence officials say a pair of suicide bombers rammed their truck filled with explosives into the gate of an army camp in northwest Pakistan near the Afghan border, killing three soldiers.
The officials say the attack Wednesday in Wana, the main town in the South Waziristan tribal area, also wounded eight soldiers. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to the media.
South Waziristan was the main sanctuary for the Pakistani Taliban before the army launched a large ground offensive in 2009. The army says it has made great progress in flushing the militants out of the area, but attacks still occur periodically.

Even before the dispute with Russia began battering their economy, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fled their country looking for a better life elsewhere. Ukrainians are now the largest group of migrants from non-European Union countries applying for residence in the bloc.
Eurostat said on Wednesday that the number of Ukrainians issued with EU residence permits rose by 48 per cent in 2013. Most Ukrainians moved to Poland looking for work. In total 236,691 permits were granted to Ukrainians, which means that the country has overtaken the US as the most common source country for migrants to the EU — India has also overtaken the US to take second place.

In an ongoing investigation by the Opelousas Police Department, Investigators were able to obtain enough evidence to arrest 24 yr old Jerry Shipman of Humble, Tx., in reference to two separate business burglaries. Jerry Shipman was allegedly identified along with several additional accomplices in a burglary ring that spans from East Texas through Louisiana. The burglaries were of tractor and small engine shops from Texas to Louisiana where lawn equipment was stolen having a total value exceeding $300,000. Opelousas Police became involved in the investigation after two burglaries occurred in Opelousas in the later part of 2012. A joint effort involving Opelousas Police, Lafayette Police, Louisiana State Police, and several agencies in Texas led to the arrest of several individuals involved in the burglaries. Jerry Shipman was booked into the Opelousas Police Department jail on two counts of Burglary.

October 14, 2014
(News & Record, Greensboro)

Ruling blocks commission from running Charlotte airport
October 14, 2014
(The Charlotte Observer)
A Superior Court judge issued a permanent injunction that blocks a 13-member state-appointed commission from running Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Judge Robert Ervin's ruling leaves the door open for the FAA to rule in favor of the commission, though the agency said last month it wouldn't consider an application to transfer control of the airport because the city hasn't requested it.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Good school, great teachers even a couple there that I went to school with. Great location, great building, wonderful gym, could use a better playground. A very useful cafeteria- but horrible food...I can't get my kids to eat anything. I have to pack their lunch- EVERYDAY !! I even went to the school with them to try the food out, now I feel just fine about packing their lunch! I remember school lunches were not bad at all when I was at school. What happened guys??
My son has been in this school for 3yrs and 2 more yrs to go. I have 2 more sons to go through in the years to come and I am more than comfortable and pleased with the job that EBW is doing. I do feel that there is room for improvement, but that is the case with every school. I do not believe that all schools are perfect. That is just me.
I have three children (2nd, 3rd and 4th grades) and in this wonderful school. We have had nothing but the best experience with all the teachers and staff.
My son has attended this school for 4 years. We have had a most pleasant experience with all administrators.

Fed-up bloke takes email spammers to court – and WINS PILE of CASH
Re: ICO and ASA seem to be backing off in this area...
Not validating my addresses with spammers has never seemed to do anything to stem the tide.

Google clamps down on rogue Chrome plugins and extensions
Just sanctioned malware
Every complaint I've seen about malicious extensions were all fully sanctioned and available from the Chrome Web Store. Particularly unpalatable are those that are funded by anonymously overlaying every site you visit with ads masquerading as coupons from the insidious Superfish service.
'Copyrighted' Java APIs deserve same protection as HARRY POTTER, Oracle tells court
APIs, clearly as secret as an advance book copy
"Google's argument was akin to an author copying the chapter titles and topic sentences of an advance copy of a Harry Potter book and then paraphrasing the rest and claiming it as fair use"
But only if J K Rowling was shouting these at every other author at the top of her voice.
Google Chrome: Extensions now ONLY from the Company Store
So I'm sitting behind a proxy that blocks access to the Chrome Store and soon I'll no longer be able to download select developer-friendly extensions, email them to myself and install them to help me work. It's not as if downloading from there is a guarantee of integrity to begin with. The Store's littered with adware-funded extensions that violate Google's own Ts and Cs (Superfish e.g. is spreading like a virus through the Store and causes fake 'voucher' offers to be injected into nearly every page).
If they wanted to, they could already have decimated the Chrome user base by blocking it from the Chrome store. I suspect they won't because the loss of users to Firefox would be more damaging than the loss of ad revenue, a migration that won't happen with Android.
Virgin Media only puts limited limits on its Unlimited service
Re: Anyone here using Virginmedia?

Report: Android malware up 614% as smartphone scams go industrial
Re: So who paid Juniper for this "research"?
Nobody needed to pay them - like most companies that have made similar announcements they conveniently just happen to have their own Android anti-malware solution for you to download. In this case it's called Junos Pulse and isn't going to gain momentum with its very poor reviews on Google Play unless they push it down our throats.

Adobe price hike: Your money or your files, frappuccino sippers
Re: Autodesk have been doing something similar for years
The difference is that if you don't pay the sub to Autodesk you still have access to the product you initially purchased. For people who want to be always on the current release it works out the same but if you don't need that you're going to get it and have to pay for it anyway.

You'd be willing to pay for a service providing this level of this choice but you're happy that the primary alternative means of paying for media isn't available to you.

Can't find your motor? Apple patents solve car park conundrums
Re: WTF?
Yes, but they use the old fashioned over-simple method of "remembering where I parked" whereas this proposes something much more complicated, error-prone and time-consuming i.e. "asking the car where it is but only if you're already within 20m of that location and have reasonable line of sight" which is what mobile technology is all about (ever compared transferring your contact info by Bluetooth vs. just telling someone your phone number?).
jQuery 2.0 kicks old Internet Explorer versions to the curb
Re: IE8 / XP
"When you say real-world, what you actually mean is for public web sites. If you RTFRN, that's not what jQuery 2 is intended for as yet. It's largely for apps and other controlled environments."
If only older versions of IE were restricted to such environments but I'm currently working for a client that requires support for IE8 and even DUN speeds on a new public site. It's not just corporate environments that lag behind on technology; there are some groups of the general public that by-and-large don't upgrade unless they have a very compelling reason.
TomTom brandishes new strap-on in Amsterdam: The wristnav
Re: TomTom are first with the smartwatch, not Apple or Microsoft

Traffic Tracking
SatNav software for phones already provides traffic information and alternative routes but they do so very badly, not least because they can often only track traffic congestion on the primary (major) route and lead you into worse traffic through urban areas. Until that is solved, this commuter 'concept' is more of a sales gimmick than a useful tool.

Re: 4G - what is the point...
And more reliable switching between cells when travelling at speed (e.g. when you have to work on a train), more consistent signal quality in general. If you think that mobile data use is limited to social media and video streaming that probably says more about how you use it than what anyone else is doing. Some of us have to rely on mobile data as our primary Internet connection when, for example, working away from home.

What has this got to do with copyright, patents or intellectual property of any kind that makes it reasonable to enforce under the DMCA?

The DMCA is supposed to prevent people from circumventing anti-piracy measures not have Carte Blanche jurisdiction over every kind of digital lock-in mechanism.
Mind out, Apple: Ericsson leads charge against the SIM

Re: Fed up with them all
Perhaps Apple will get a bad cold and Samsung will come round with flowers to make it feel better then at the end Apple will find out that SK152 with whom it's been corresponding is actually Samsung after all and it isn't really an evil corporation that tried to destroy its little pseudo-intellectual hipster book shop by selling millions of mass-produced, cheaper and more popular alternatives.
Mark Zuckerberg doesn't know how to use HTML5
Sleight of Hand
The whole thing looks like a lot of smoke and mirrors to me. Setting faster animation speeds at the cost of smoothness, caching more data sacrificing memory for speed and that pull-down to update test didn't look like it updated on the Sencha version, it just scrolled down to the next item.

Won't follow Apple Store rules? How 'bout an iTASER TREAT!
Re: OTT..
It is frequently mandatory for police officers who are required to carry Tasers to experience the effects of the device first hand during their training. Given how many dodgy Taser incidents there have been in New Hampshire (including one "medical homicide" due to an officer firing the device at someone's chest and one mass zapping of a wayward cow) it doesn't seem to be getting the message across.
Apple TV demand may drive Samsung-sapping sales
Re: pay more just coz its from crapple?
The Apple TV STB doesn't actually have that nice a user interface. Compared to, say, a WD TV Live or a Samsung of Panasonic connected TV it's a bit clunky. I have to wonder if people are fooled just because it's got lots of black and a sleek remote control with very few buttons. The Netflix app is a great benchmark since it exists on a lot of platforms and the Apple TV version is by far the most unhelpful one I've used, lacking simple things like automatically following on to the next episode instead requiring 4 or 5 button presses to get there.

James Driscoll has a pair of runner-up finishes to his name in his decade-plus career on the PGA Tour.
Sunday he might finally grab his first win.
The Virginia alum is in a four-way tie atop the leaderboard at the AT&T National at Congressional in Bethesda.
He came into the day tied for seventh at four-under and quickly got to work with a birdie on the first hole to start the round.
He would give that shot back on the second hole and then made par from 3-5. He sandwiched pars between birdies at six and nine to make him two-under on the front nine.
A birdie on 10 put him at -7, pushing him to the front of the pack. He would give the shot back on 15 but made up for it with a birdie on 16.
Driscoll is in a four-way tie for first with Bill Haas, Roberto Castro and Andres Romero.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0941936813, Paperback)
This memoir of an Englishman in the French Foreign Legion during the Syrian campaign of the late 1920s relates the brutal story of life in the Legion and war in the deserts of Syria. John Harvey joined the Foreign Legion with the assumption that he would receive a substantial bonus and a glorious adventure. He was wrong on both points. Described is the siege of Rachaya Fort against the Druse faction in Syria, a famous and bloody battle.

Coffee Substitutes?
- g
- GermanShepherdPuppy Mar 19, 2007 09:18 PM
Hi. I drink a lot of coffee (4 - 6 cups a day). I've been pounding it down for the past 20 years or so - I've worked in software development all these years and my favorite joke has been "my body converts caffeine directly to source code." Anyhow, I have an interest now in either replacing it or finding a way of diluting the caffeine in coffee. Yeah, I know about green tea and decaf coffee but my body doesn't handle tea well (tummy aches) and decalf tastes so bland! Does anybody out there in the chow universe have any clever suggestions regarding either (a) coffee replacements or (b) ways of diluting coffee with some other substance to make it less caffeinated?
I have heard there is a cup that removes caffeine from coffee that is in development and should be avaiilable soon. I wish I had more info as it sounds like an interesting concept.
re: luniz
Yep, at home we mix our beans half and half (Decaf French Roast and Regular Double Dark both from Trader Joe's) and when I get drip coffee I usually mix regular and decaf in the cup.
High end decaf doesn't taste bland anymore, I find. I just go to better coffee shops and the beans from TJs are quite good I think, for the money.
You can drink your 4 cups and end up with only 2 worth of caffeine.
re: ccbweb
I buy the best beans I can find and use 1 oz per batch in a "10 Cup" drip brewer. Its on the light side but I use halfnhalf to make the mouth feel rich. I don't miss the upset stomach that comes from brewing it strong, either. It helps me keep within my budget too.
Four to six cups of coffee a day .. Wow! You must have a very "caffeinated" personality akin to Robin Williams perhaps? Just kidding, just kidding. Anyhow, you can try POSTUM, but I think it might leave you craving to read source code in binary. It's definitely an option to explore, but I would mix it with a "shot" of coffee for good measure. Postum is a very acquired taste.
Look ---> http://jeffwerner.ca/2004/12/postum_c...
Read some of the comments on the first page or so for more suggestions.
re: Cheese Boy
Great link, cheese_boy! Here's a funny excerpt:
"But so Postum isn't really anything to write home about. The bottle is a turn-off for one: it looks like some sort of Metamucil or related geriatric bowel enhancer, and it's got this really dated colour scheme (yellow, red and sea-sick blue) and typography, and a very clogged-colon-looking illustration of two people on a bike ride in some southern marsh. You never see Postum advertised and it's always on a remote top shelf at the end of the coffee aisle, just one little column of jars for at least $8 a piece and never on sale."
re: GermanShepherdPuppy
All that was hilarious, but oh so true. What's ironic is, after all that product bashing, the person admits to drinking it and being a loyal customer.
re: GermanShepherdPuppy
I began drinking Postum in the 1950's with my grandmother, and I still drink it, today. In fact, I had my daughter pick up the last two jars off the store counter in her neighborhood, today. It's not something we drank everyday like tea or coffee. Instead, it's treated more like a hot cereal. So, we drank it maybe once-per-week. The label you refer to is nothing like the one that we've always had on our shelves. Instead, the label's blue and white with a picture of a cup of postum on the front. Like many foods\beverages (avocado, mango, kiwi, lobster, pasteles, coffee., etc.), you must acquire a taste for Postum. In fact, I don't like coffee. However, I have drank original Sanka, when I felt the need for a warm beverage but tea, hot chocolate nor postum was available. If anyone starts a compaign to bring it back to the shelves, I will gladly write a letter to help. Like everything else, when the younger people take over managing companies, they begin the cut what does not interest them. If Kraft does not bring back Postum, I will stop buying their other products, and my grandson loves their boxed mac & cheese. (Frankly, my homemade one is better.)
Hot chocolate has much less caffeine and is very satisfying. Make your own with Hershey's syrup and low fat/skim milk.
Look into yerba mate. It's not tea, but it's an herbal brew, so not sure how you'd handle it.
When brewed stongly, it has a similar (but not as harsh) caffeine buzz. It's easier on the stomach, and has antioxidant benefits. It tastes sorta like a coarse green tea.
You can buy teabags of the stuff as a gateway, but the hardcore South American way to do it to have a bag of loose leaf, thermos of hot water, a hollowed out dried gourd, and a straw-like thing with a fine sieve end to sip it through. There's a whole mate break ritual of preparing the drink that's not unlike rolling a joint (that it, the preparation before the partaking) and passing the cup among friends.
Be careful GermanSP of the boomerang affect of cutting back on caffeine too quickly ie: nasty headaches, irritability, a feeling of exhaustion. Have you tried switching to 50% caffeine beans or what is now labeled "light" or a lighter brew or 2 cups a day...
If you aren't a tea drinker Chai might not satisfy you, but consider trying that as well.
I'm not a fan of decaff; also find it bland but cutting back and choosing lighter bean varieties did help me. (btw-diluted coffee sounds awful)
Teeccino. It's an herbal "coffee." Brews just like regular coffee (I use a Melitta filter for a cup at a time); comes in a bunch of flavors. Not an exact substitute for coffee, but pretty good, and a damn sight better than Postum. If you Google it, you'll probably land right at their website.
You might also try dandelion root tea - it's similar to coffee in that it's dark and bitter and has a nice roasty flavor. It took a bit of getting used to, but now I quite like it. There's no tea of any kind in it (it's just roasted dandelion roots), so not likely to bother your stomach.
I like coffee, but it's too much caffeine for me, so I never became a habitual coffee-drinker. Tea, on the other hand...
I have not been to Italy for at least 15 years but I remember a beverage that I think was called Orzo (not the pasta or the orzata syrup) that was a coffee substitute. It was sold in an instant form and also as brewed like regular coffee in a Moka pot on the stove. I think it was a derivative of barley as opposed to Postum which is wheat based. Does anyone know what I'm talking about or know of a source. I've tried to find information on the internet but have not had any luck. I remember it being quite tasty, caffine free, and a great coffee substitute. We do buy Postum as my husband drinks it but I am an espresso fiend and can't stomach the taste of Postum.
i was a 4-6 cupper too, and am now a proud 2-3 cupper :-)
to wean myself off, I started brewing espresso grinds like coffee -- started with fresh beans that were 50/50 reg and decaf. If I started with good beans, the taste difference wasn't too noticable.
Eventually I returned to 2-3 cups of regular, but it was a good way for me to be able to maintain the volume and reduce the caffiene in take.
Are you trying to reduce your caffeine intake? if not, iced tea can help a lot. if so, you might want to go hard core and try drinking water once a day
Have you ever tried white tea? I tmight not bother your stomach like other teas. And it tastes great.
To Germanshepherdpuppy: Before giving up on decaf, try the Hispanic brands. We find them much more full-flavored than the Anglo kind. Try Goya decaf if you can get it and make it on the strong side---experiment with a few pots. You may get a happy surprise.
Drink espresso. It has less caffeine than drip coffee because the beans are in contact with the water for less time, but it is very strong and rich. You can have an Americano which is espresso diluted in hot water.
You can also try Pu-erh Tuo Cha. Basically, steamed tea leaves are packed into a disk shaped mold. The idea was to preserve the tea. I have recently tried my first Pu-erh. It brews up dark and has some of the earthy-chocolate notes coffee can have. With sugar and creamer, its not far from coffee in aroma. The processing takes out the floral notes and leaves a little smokey flavor thats very pleasant.
BTW what is our obsession with smoke flavoring? Deep memories of the cave and the long house?

Dr. Robert Mills, 72, a physicist who made major contributions to the study of subatomic particles, died on Wednesday at his summer home in East Charleston, Vt.
The cause was prostate cancer, said a statement from Ohio State University, where Dr. Mills taught for 39 years.
For most of his career, Dr. Mills toiled as a respected but little-known teacher and researcher.
In 1953, however, as a 27-year-old graduate student, he was a co-writer of what has been called one of the landmark scientific articles of the century, putting forth the Yang-Mills theory, which later made possible major advances in subatomic physics.

I wonder if you use any PPC advertisement?! or just managing the fan pages with a well optimized game plan. Maybe I must give a try for myself over facebook traffic and I hope I could get a bit of success. I've been planning to launch a campaign for my essay writing services through facebook. This article had given a bit encouragement. Thanks for the share.

Online marketing is the best option for the growth of your business. The main strategy used in social media is the interaction with their users and deepening their relationship with them. Over posting must be avoided to get rid of unlike. And it's better concentrating on the apt time for post is what important. Just speak enough through your posts. Must be precise and should reach the user.

Facebook is doing a lot of changes now a days like they have recently changed the size of the paid ads on the right side. I have just gone thorugh some blogs on web about the effect and most of them were saying that this will increase the CTR and this is the truth. We are managing a few campaigns for our clients on facebook and noticing high CTR due to the size of ads, amazing move FB

United States Steel Q2 2010 Earnings Call TranscriptJul. 27, 2010
Wed, Nov. 19, 12:26 PM
- Iron ore prices extend their historic decline, approaching $70/dry ton in a retreat to the lowest level in more than five years, as analysts rule out any Chinese restocking that typically supports prices towards the end of each year.
- The price is now at a level at which all but the three biggest low-cost producers - Rio Tinto (RIO -2.4%), BHP Billiton (BHP -3%) and Fortescue (OTCPK:FSUMF -8.8%) - are either generating losses or are struggling to break even.
- Steel stocks also are getting whacked: SCHN -5.4%, X -4%, PKX -3%, AKS -3%, CMC -2.7%, STLD -2.5%, NUE -1.6%, MT -1.3%.
Tue, Nov. 18, 12:49 PM
- Iron ore extends its tumble deeper into five-year lows as declining home prices in China add to worries that an economic slowdown in iron ore's biggest buyer will deepen and exacerbate an oversupply.
- Ore with 62% content delivered to Qingdao, China, has retreated 47% YTD to $71.80 a dry ton, and Citigroup thinks prices may drop to less than $60/ton next year as output rises further and demand remains weak; China's bad loans climbed in Q3 by the most since 2005, while new-home prices declined, adding to speculation the cooling economy will weaken further.
Tue, Nov. 4, 1:59 PM
- U.S. Steel (X -7.8%) plunges after David Einhorn, who is betting on a decline in the share price, says results from the last quarter may have marked a peak for the company.
- "Given the near-record spread between domestic steel prices and foreign steel prices, we believe that imports will arrive shortly, steel prices will retrace and U.S. Steel's great third quarter will likely be the best result it reports for a long time," Einhorn says.
- Last week, U.S. Steel posted adjusted Q3 EPS of $2.16, its highest since Q3 2008, while warning that Q4 operating income in its flat-rolled division should decrease "significantly."
Thu, Oct. 30, 4:58 PM
- U.S. Steel (NYSE:X) has gained more than 50% during the past six months but Nomura's Curt Woodworth and Alexander Burnes think it could gain another 50%.
- U.S. Steel is at an annual EBITDA run-rate of $2B and EPS of $5.00, normalizing for a tax rate of 35% even though its recent tax rate has been well below this level; Nomura believes that with additional cost reduction efforts in 2015 coupled with accretive capital deployment into EAF and/or DRI, U.S. Steel should be able to achieve mid-cycle EPS near $6.00 in 2015.
- Shares currently trade at a free cash flow yield of 13% estimated for 2015 and 11% for 2016, which the firm finds compelling.
Thu, Oct. 30, 10:59 AM
- U.S. Steel (X -1.6%) has announced that Patricia Diaz Dennis and Robert Stevens have been elected to the company's board of directors effective Jan. 1, 2015.
- They will serve as directors until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which is expected to be held on April 28, 2015.
- Dennis, retired as SVP and assistant general counsel of AT&T in November 2008, while Stevens retired as executive chairman of Lockheed Martin in December 2013.
Wed, Oct. 29, 12:47 PM
- U.S. Steel (X +7%) is rising after its Q3 results easily surpassed analyst estimates but seeing Q4 results for its flat-rolled segment declining significantly.
- Nomura's Curt Woodworth reiterates his bullish view, believing Q3 results confirm continued strengthening of the company's through-the-cycle earnings power and its ability to generate significant free cash flow in the coming years.
- However, Axiom Capital's Gordon Johnson thinks U.S. Steel's big beat was "one-time in nature," citing the company's muted Q4 guidance in projecting just $345M in Q4 adjusted EBITDA from $611M in Q3 and EPS of ~$0.77 vs. current analyst consensus of $0.87.
Wed, Oct. 29, 9:15 AM
Tue, Oct. 28, 6:28 PM
- U.S. Steel (NYSE:X) +10.3% AH after reporting better than expected Q3 results, as strong demand from the auto and building industries lifted demand for its products and supported prices.
- The company says it saw "a significant improvement in Total reportable segments and Other Businesses income from operations," the highest level since the market peak in 2008.
- Says its flat-rolled segment has "returned to more normal operating levels," and income from operations increased by more than $300M from Q2.
- Expects Q4 segment income from operations below Q3, primarily due to lower results from its flat-rolled segment, which is projected to post higher repairs and maintenance costs due to projects at the Mon Valley Works, Granite City and Great Lakes facilities.
Tue, Oct. 28, 5:48 PM
Tue, Oct. 28, 5:37 PM
- United States Steel (NYSE:X) declares $0.05/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous.
- Forward yield 0.52%
- Payable Dec. 10; for shareholders of record Nov. 12; ex-div Nov. 10.
Tue, Oct. 28, 5:01 PM
- United States Steel (NYSE:X): Q3 EPS of $2.16 may not be comparable to consensus of $1.17.
- Revenue of $4.59B (+11.1% Y/Y) beats by $30M.
- Shares +4.3% AH.
- Press Release
Tue, Oct. 21, 12:34 PM
- The U.S. says it will terminate a 15-year-old deal sheltering Russian flat-rolled steel producers from high import duties, and anti-dumping duties will apply beginning Dec. 16.
- U.S. steel producers, including U.S. Steel (X +5%) and Nucor (NUE +2.2%), complained to the Commerce Department in July that the reference price set in a 1999 agreement, which also set a cap on imports, had been below U.S. market prices since 2004.
- However, J.P. Morgan analysts see no reason for buying steel stocks (NYSEARCA:SLX), saying the move impacts only 1.4% of U.S. market share; in fact, the firm suggests shorting steel stocks on the "misinterpretation" of duties on Russian imports of hot rolled steel.
- Other steels also are higher: AKS +3.9%, MT +3.6%, CMC +2.3%, STLD +1.7%.
Wed, Oct. 8, 5:54 PM
- The restructuring of U.S. Steel Canada (NYSE:X) will go ahead, with its parent company providing $185M in financing to support the Canadian unit through the end of next year, after winning approval from the Ontario Superior Court to receive debtor-in-possession financing.
- Not all parties and creditors that had raised objections to the structure of the DIP facility give consent, but they choose not to object in the interest of the stability of the company's operations in Canada.
Thu, Oct. 2, 3:23 PM
- U.S. Steel (X -0.1%) is downgraded to Hold from Buy at KeyBanc, which expects the company to report a loss of $0.44/share for FY 2014, down from previous estimates of a $0.34 loss, and FY 2015 earnings of $1/share, down from an earlier forecast of $1.30.
- KeyBanc says it appreciates the company's ongoing long-term turnaround potential via Project Carnegie, balance sheet recovery, recent de-consolidation of its Canadian operations, and recovery in the Tubular market, but X shares should remain rangebound amid recent declines in seaborne iron ore prices and the firm's expectation for weaker than previously modeled U.S. sheet prices in 2015.
- The firm is more positive on electric arc furnace steel producers Steel Dynamics (STLD +0.6%) and Nucor (NUE -0.6%), which should benefit from the likelihood of future declines in ferrous scrap costs relative to iron ore.
Wed, Sep. 24, 5:04 AM
- U.S. Steel's (NYSE:X) Canadian subsidiary is looking to quickly put up its Hamilton assets for sale and auction off its operations on Lake Erie, after filing for protection from its creditors last week.
- The restructuring could affect more than 14K retirees who depend on U.S. Steel pensions. The Canada unit has a pension fund deficit of more than $750M.
Thu, Sep. 18, 3:21 PM
- In the doldrums not long ago, steel stocks are now among the hottest in the market; in the last three months, X +81%, STLD +37%, AKS +30%, NUE +12%.
- Steel Dynamics (STLD +0.6%) was the latest to report a strong summer, guiding for above-consensus Q3 earnings as shipments and metal spreads are forecast to improve in spite of continued elevated import activity; Nucor did so yesterday morning (NUE +0.4%).
- Still, Credit Suisse is not ready to embrace the steel company revival, at least when it comes to AK Steel (AKS -4.8%), whose self-help story has less scope for upside surprise than US Steel (X +0.2%); one obvious contrast is that X is looking at shutting down blast furnace steelmaking capacity in North America, while AKS is buying more of it.

Area law enforcement combined forces Wednesday to make several arrests.
The first group of busts involved crack cocaine trafficking. The State Attorney's Office, Lynn Haven Police and Bay County sheriff's investigators arrested 21-year-old Shellie Simpson and 19-year-old Christopher Travis Beaumont on cocaine possession charges.
Authorities say they stopped the Callaway pair near the intersection of Highway 22 and Star Avenue, finding seven grams of crack. More arrests are expected.
Also Parker police arrested two men on marijuana charges as part of an on-going narcotics investigation. Investigators say 22-year-old John Wayne Mitchell of Panama City and 20-year-old Christian Everett Dozier of Graceville were charged with sale of marijuana within 1,000 feet of school and possession with intent to distribute.
Authorities say they seized a pound of pot, cash and a vehicle. Springfield police and sheriff's deputies assisted in this case.
And DeFuniak Springs police say they've nabbed a robbery suspect. The man, identified as Eric D. Murphy of Ohio, allegedly robbed the Dollar General store on West Nelson Avenue Wednesday afternoon.
DeFuniak Springs officers canvassed a nearby neighborhood and arrested Murphy soon after the robbery. He's being held in the Walton County Jail.
