A landmark movie that becomes a priceless entryway into a distant land and its people, few of whom will ever seem as foreign and far away again.
Don't miss The Fast Runner. If you do, you will deprive yourself of not only one of the most intriguing feature-film projects in decades and enough plain-spoken anthropology for three credits at Harvard, but one of the most flat-out entertaining movies of the year.
A gorgeous, engrossing, utterly alien and fresh movie that has the human truth and impact of classic Greek myth and the overwhelming beauty and mastery of the greatest epic films.
So elemental in its means yet so cosmic in its drama, it could herald a rebirth of cinema.
Nearly three hours long, and deliberately paced at that, this first feature ever in the Inuit language is a demanding experience. But the rewards for those who risk the journey are simply extraordinary.
The first-ever screenplay written in the Inuit language, Inuktitut -- and the first time's a charm.
It's a difficult film to follow and at 172 minutes is maybe a half-hour too long. But simply as a sensory experience The Fast Runner is amazing.
An authentic and thrilling glimpse into Inuit culture and tradition.
The perfect antidote to the summer heat in Austin, more refreshing even than a dip in our chilly holy waters of Barton Springs.
More than once during The Fast Runner (Atanarjuat), it's easy to forget you're watching a movie.
This long (nearly three hours), revelatory movie is both a thrilling adventure about endurance and survival, and an elegiac examination of centuries-old tribal culture, fast-fading in the new millennium.
Magically transports the viewer across time and space. As it does so, it becomes a humbling reminder of the universality of the human experience.
If you're put off by deliberate filmmaking (or subtitles, though the movie doesn't have much dialogue), you're in the wrong spot. If not, you'll see why voters gave "Atanarjuat," as it's officially called, a 2002 Oscar nomination for best foreign film.
Not only is it a reintroduction to a fascinating culture that has survived 4,000 years in a remote and most inhospitable climate, but it's also the first film ever directed by an Inuit filmmaker and featuring an all-Inuit cast.
At times it's plodding and inchoate, but there's certainly nothing else like it in the movies right now, and it has at least one great sequence.
Director Zacharias Kunuk captures that feeling well, but he never quite develops it into a theme epic enough to fill Atanarjuat's scope. His film is by turns mesmerizing and trying, with enough of the former to make the latter worthwhile.
Its refusal to draw solid lines between "good" and "evil" characters is more sophisticated than the psychology of most current commercial pictures. It's well worth a trek to a theater adventurous enough to show it.
By all means, buy a ticket to The Fast Runner, but don't go expecting a masterpiece; actually, in its first hour, the dramaturgy and staging of scenes set in igloos are cramped and amateurish.
It's an endurance test. Though never boring, the movie is a fairly long slog through the snow.

Director Zacharias Kunuk uses the most of this unique setting, taking the time to admire the vast, open wilderness and infuse the traditions and lifestyle of the Inuit people into the script. The major misstep of this movie is its running time - at 172 minutes, I felt some of the lesser plot points could have been cut to make watching the movie less daunting. All in all, though, 'Atanarjuat' ranks as one of the better things to come out of Canada.… Full Review »

Friday: Unscheduled Rest Day
It was pouring and I was tired and I really didn't want to run in the monsoon. Instead Mr. Pi and I tidied up, went grocery shopping and spent the evening just hanging out (a rarity around here).
Saturday: 8 miles
My GPS was having issues so I used app for the iPhone called RunMeter. It's a GPS program that tracks pretty much the same stuff that the Garmin tracks. Sadly, since it was on the phone and the phone was on my arm, I didn't pause for stoplights or tying my shoe or stretching at the half way point. Oh well. Time was better than last week but still pretty slow, I'm definitely feeling some of the volume. 8 miles/1:35/11:52 AP
Late afternoon Kristen arrived, yay! She's just as fun and outgoing as she seems on the blog. We went to a fun dinner at a local brew pub and came home and just chatted away. I was actually surprised I didn't have a sore throat from all the talking on Sunday morning.
Sunday: Swim, Bike, Run ?
We got up and starting packing our stuff pretty early as we were going out to Hagg Lake for our open water swim.
The clouds looked pretty threatening but we loaded up the bikes too. When we got out to Hagg, we were both surprised at the amount of people doing the swim. It was crazy!
We picked up our caps and got marked, went to the bathroom and put on our wetsuits. The 800 group had just left so we waited around a little while before getting in to warm up. If you remember, I swam briefly in the lake last week and found it quite refreshing. What I had forgotten was that the outside temperature was well into the 70's and I had been biking for nearly 4 hours. Not so much this morning. It was windy, cold, with bursts of rain and I it was NOT warm. I figured it might make me swim faster right?
Not too much longer we were off. We started mid-back of the pack. I need to figure this out because I spent the first two buoys in a cluster. So much so that I'd get freaked out, swallow water and stop to cough. It wasn't until the third buoy where things started to spread out and I had some open water. I stayed pretty far wide to ensure I'd be alone which probably meant that I swam extra but whatever I don't care. When I rounded the last buoy on the "out" portion, I knew I could kick it up a notch. Another thing I need to figure out is how much to push myself--I was somewhere in between a super easy peasy pace and a cruise pace. Anyway on the stretch back to shore, I passed a bunch of people. I kicked it up because I still had lots of energy and everyone else was slowing down or stopping. Anyway, I exited the water in about 40 minutes. This is by no means fast but it was such a confidence boost to know I can go the distance and not come in last. (Kristen came in right behind me.)
At this point we were freezing. I literally couldn't feel my feet or my fingers. We took off our wet stuff put on towels and sat in the car blasting the heater.

Radiohead Producer Nigel Godrich Starts New Band Ultraista
You've enjoyed his production work for artists such as Radiohead, Beck and Paul McCartney. Now you can experience the song stylings of Nigel Godrich as a recording artist in his own right: he's gone and started a band, dubbed Ultraista, with in-demand session drummer Joey Waronker and vocalist Laura Bettinson.
Radiohead Plans 2012 Tour; Singer Thom Yorke Preps Album with Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea
Last month, Radiohead drummer Phil Selway told reporters that the band's surprise set at this year's Glastonbury festival had reawakened their enthusiasm for performing live. It looks like he really meant what he said.
In fact, according to singer Thom Yorke, fans can expect a full-fledged tour next year, as well as a new album from his side project, Atoms for Peace.
Radiohead to Be Featured on 'The Colbert Report's' First Ever One Hour Episode
Radiohead's appearance on 'The Colbert Report' next Monday is such a big deal that for the first time ever the Comedy Central talk show will run an hour, instead of its traditional 30 minutes.
During the show, the band will play songs from its latest album 'The King of Limbs,' while also debuting a new track. In addition to Radiohead's performance, there will be interviews, as well as regular 'Colbert Report' features.
Jim Carrey Sings Radiohead's 'Creep' at Karaoke [VIDEO]
When we last checked in with Jim Carrey, he was declaring his love for Emma Stone in a creepy but hilarious video. So it was probably appropriate that Carrey sung 'Creep,' Radiohead's ode to awkward longing, when he crashed New York City club Arlene's Grocery's Friday karaoke party.

Take time to love yourself
Most women have a habit of loving other people more than themselves. They are pulled in many directions and every day the to-do list gets a little longer. Too often, women spend so much time focusing on others that they forget to invest energy in themselves. The truth is, loving yourself is no different than loving someone else you have to commit to it every day.
Here are a few ways you can pay yourself some positive attention and build a stronger relationship with the woman in the mirror.
Keep a journal. Take some time to celebrate the small stuff. Each night before you go to bed, write a list of good things that happened to you that day. This list does not have to be long; try to shoot for five little moments that made you smile.
I keep a journal myself, and it has a profound effect on my outlook. I have discovered that positivity breeds positivity. Now I see joy at every turn, even in challenges, and I am grateful for every day.
When you feel like nothing is going your way, reread your journal. You will be thankful for all of your good fortune.
Schedule some me time. In a society that moves faster each day, people are busier than ever. Between our jobs, family responsibilities, and social obligations, we are on the go all of the time. We often lose ourselves in the shuffle.
Set aside thirty minutes every day. What you do with this time is your call. You can spend it exercising, getting a massage, having your nails done, even napping. Its completely up to you. Do anything that makes you feel good for half an hour a day. You deserve it!
Develop positive mantras. You have to be your greatest cheerleader. That doesnt mean you need to invest in pom-poms and ribbons or teach yourself to do a back handspring, but you do need to encourage and love yourself every day.
Only you can decide what positive affirmation you need the most, but for a starting point, try something general like I deserve happiness or Today will be a great day. Look yourself in the mirror every morning and start your day on a positive note.
Surround yourself with uplifting people. We all have anchors in our lives people who always tell us why we wont achieve our goals and give us a list of reasons to fear stepping out of our boxes. Some people, even those closest to us, are quick to point out the negative they never enjoy the sunshine, they only complain about the heat.
Conversely, there are those who always shine a light on our darkness with their praise, positivity, and encouragement. Think of the people in your life who are always smiling, always trying new things, always making you wish your life was more like theirs.
Recognize the anchors in your life and avoid them. Make more time for the people who make you feel good about yourself and push you to conquer your fears. Youll find their zest for life is infectious, and soon you will mirror their enthusiasm.
Now is the perfect time to make and keep a promise to fall in love with yourself. After all, you are the only you youve got.

Fort Dilts State Historic Site marks the site of a dramatic episode in settlement history where emigrants in an embattled wagon train circled their wagons and waited for rescue by the cavalry. Fort Dilts appears today much as it did more than one hundred years ago in its pristine setting eight miles northwest of Rhame, Bowman County.
On July 15, 1864, Captain James L. Fisk, U.S. Quartermaster Corps, led ninety-seven wagons out of Fort Ridgely, Minnesota, for the gold fields of western Montana and Idaho. This was a dangerous journey of more than a thousand miles during an era of increased hostilities after the Dakota Conflict of 1862 (see Sibley and Sully Expeditions of 1863). Fisk proposed to follow a new, shorter route across unmapped territory from Fort Rice, Dakota Territory, west to the Bighorn River, in what is now Montana.
Believing that General Sully and his army preceded them, Fisk left Fort Rice, Dakota Territory, with a small military escort of fifty convalescent soldiers. Eighty miles west of Fort Rice, Fisk discovered that General Sully's trail veered north, and he realized that the train was now reliant upon their small escort. The wagon train was attacked by Hunkpapa Sioux Indians on September 2, nearly 180 miles from the fort. In the ensuing battle, nine people from the wagon train were killed and three were seriously wounded.
During the following two days, the train moved twelve miles while constantly harassed by the Hunkpapa warriors. One member of the wagon train was wounded. Progress was slow, and soldiers had to use a howitzer to clear the way in front of the train. On September 4, the members of the wagon train found a defensive point where they could dig in until reinforcements could arrive from Fort Rice. During the next few days, the men cut sod and stacked it to a height of six and one-half feet in a defensive perimeter 300 feet in diameter. It was christened Fort Dilts by members of the wagon train in honor of Jefferson Dilts, who died from his wounds and was buried in the entrenchments. Two other soldiers, Marma D. Betts and Thomas C. Williamson, were also buried in the sod wall.
Lieutenant Smith and fifteen comrades rode for help, arriving at Fort Rice four days later. Early on the morning of September 20, the emigrants spotted twenty to thirty horsemen on a ridge north of camp. They were the advance party of Colonel Dill, who was a few miles behind with 400 cavalry soldiers, 400 infantrymen, and a section of artillery from Fort Rice. The Hunkpapa warriors retreated, and the sixteen-day siege came to an end. The frightened gold seekers returned to Fort Rice where the expedition disbanded.
A diary of the battle kept by William L. Larned describes the events and setting in vivid detail, and many of the features are still visible, including the sod wall, wagon ruts, graves, and an uncompleted well. Archeological excavations confirmed the historic integrity of this site. The only modern intrusions are a flagpole, a site marker, a registration box, a barbed wire fence, and an interpretive sign north of the fortification remains.

"At nearly 200 years old, it's the grande dame of British conservatoires, but the Royal Academy of Music is surprisingly forward-thinking"Pianist Magazine
The Royal Academy of Music/Kohn Foundation Bach Prize is awarded annually to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the performance and/or scholarly study of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. The prize for 2013 has been awarded to Murray Perahia.
Murray Perahia becomes the eighth winner of the prize, which was established by the Kohn Foundation and is worth £10,000. Previous winners have been Professor Christoph Wolff (2006), András Schiff (2007), Sir John Eliot Gardiner (2008), Peter Schreier (2009), John Butt (2010), the Thomanerchor Leipzig (2011) and Masaaki Suzuki (2012).
Professor Christoph Wolff, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, András Schiff and Professor Kammersänger Peter Schreier were on the selection panel which awarded this year's prize, along with Professor Jonathan Freeman-Attwood (Principal of the Royal Academy of Music) and Sir Ralph Kohn FRS, FRAM (Kohn Foundation).
The Chair of the Bach Prize panel, Professor Jonathan Freeman-Attwood, said: 'I am delighted to welcome Murray Perahia, Honorary Member of the Royal Academy of Music, to the world's most exclusive club of Bachians. Murray's extensive discography of Bach's works for keyboard – including the Goldberg Variations, Partitas, English Suites and concertos – bountifully demonstrates his status as one of the very greatest of recent Bach interpreters.'
The award will be presented to Mr Perahia at the Royal Academy of Music, on a date to be confirmed: details will be published on this website.
Masaaki Suzuki will receive the 2012 award in the Academy's Duke's Hall on Sunday 10th November 2013, as part of the Royal Academy of Music / Kohn Foundation Bach Cantata Series. He will conduct Academy student performers in Bach's Cantatas 'Wo soll ich fliehen hin?', BWV 5 and 'Jesu, nun sei gepreiset', BWV 41. Tickets are on sale online now.

Preserving the countryside from the wild life
Landowners and hunt join forces in legal battle to ban saboteurs - Times Online
A group of 84 landowners is backing a hunt's attempt to ban saboteurs from almost every piece of open land and countryside in West Sussex.
Their aim is to win a common law injunction against trespassing and harassment by activists from the West Sussex Wildlife Protection Group and its two main organisers, Simon and Jaine Wilde, under the Protection and Harassment Act 1997.
If an injunction is awarded at the High Court this week, the activists will be banned from 10,000 acres of land, nearly the whole of the county, except for large public estates, footpaths and public highways.
Mr Sandeman said: "We can't and won't stop legitimate monitoring of the hunt from the public highways and rights of way. What we are seeking is a ban to stop the filming of hunt supporters, children and old people, who follow us on foot. There has been considerable intimidation of these people in an attempt to stop them supporting the hunt. Some of the children get very disturbed when cameras are put in front of them."
He said that harassment on this scale was tiresome and that it also wasted police time, with nine or ten officers turning out to police the hunt opponents.
You may remember Simon Wild(e) as the whining little shit who filmed Fatty Soames heinous law breaking, banning his annoying nasal noises and appalling polyester apparel would without doubt be a boon and a blessing to the countryside.

|Moneta became active in the peace movement in 1870. In 1878 he helped establish the League of Liberty, Brotherhood and Peace in Milan. In 1887 he helped to found the Society for International Peace and Justice, and the Lombard Union for International Peace and Understanding, of which he became president. Moneta regularly attended international peace congresses, and from 1895 onwards he was a member of the Permanent Interntional Peace Bureau. He actively worked to establish better understanding between countries on the verge of conflict, especially through arbitration. Suttner was the author of the novel "Die Waffen nieder" (Lay Down Your Arms), the most important antiwar novel of the period. She was the founder and president of the Austrian Peace Society (1891), and she contributed to the foundation of the Permanent International Peace Bureau (1891). Suttner was nominated for her contribution to the international peace movement.

Losing momentum?
- 0Apr 27, '99 by Joe,RNOkay nurses! We have a good thing going here. If you have not written to your legislators you need to do so! If you need help in doing this , I will help you! So will Barton! Also as Barton has said under her topic; We have a most excellent forum for you to use to tell your story. This is an actual column in a publication. I will help you with this too!
Please, let's keep this effort alive! Do your part to make a difference and you will ultimately reap the rewards!
- 0Apr 28, '99 by bartonPLEASE- PLEASE- PLEASE!
Look at all the good work we've all done here---- and in such a SHORT time!
As I see it, we went from complaints/reports to each other, to sending questions/reports to legislators, 20/20, ANA and so on.
NOW we have the opportunity to take our collective efforts one GIANT LEAP forward in the NEW COLUMN!
When was the last time any of us saw nurses FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY rally together for ANYTHING? Yet here we are having professional and productive communications about the most important part of nursing: PATIENTS! AND---people at BOTH wwnurse AND hospitalhub have noticed, commented positively, and encouraged us! WHY ON EARTH WOULD WE STOP NOW??
If some of you are nervous, let me say that sometimes I am too---but if all we print is the truth, and if all concerned remain anonymous, then in my opinion, we are doing the right thing-- we are not breaking confidentiality, and we are acting in our role as patient advocates. If we DON'T report unsafe conditions, then I believe we are FAILING in that role.
We must let the nation know what perils we are facing!
We must work toward enpowering nurses by gaining the autonomy we need to DECIDE FOR OURSELVES how to protect our patients and ourselves.
Let's TAKE nursing BACK from business!!
- 0May 1, '99 by SophieHello! Barton, Bethany, and others. Although it's been a while since I have posted, I have been busy with letters to my state assembly and senate reps, re: current legislation relative to nursing issues. As I have mentioned before, there is a Calif. State Assembly bill - AB 394- that is specically written to make firm LAWS about safe staffing ratios. Much like the ones that already exist (in Calif,) for ratios in critical care, this law would be for the regular floors where we know the staffing is dangerous and work can be miserable. Please support this by writing to the bill author-
Sheila Kuehl, State Capitol, PO Box 942849, Room 3013, Sacramento, Cal. 94249-0001, or call at 916-310-2041. Suggest this legislation to you own state reps if you are outside Cal., it could be used as a guideline. This is a positive and constructive means to get something done about the dangerous staffing issue. If each one of you asked one person to write and support this bill, and those people asked even one other person, the support would be tremendous. We need to realize that nurses are 'do-ers' and although letter writing may seem a passive thing, it is a very action involved step. Remember that when something is written it carries a lot more weight than just a phone call or a comment. A letter is tangible and can be counted. As for our other endeavors, how's the 20/20 situation coming?? Keep sending Sylvia Johnson your examples of mistakes, violations etc. that are occuring due to the nursing shortage and dangerous staffing. Sophie (sorry this was so long-winded)
[This message has been edited by Sophie (edited May 01, 1999).]
- 0May 3, '99 by Joe,RNYes thanks for the posts, everyone! Has anybody else sent an article to firstname.lastname@example.com? I do not work in a hospital any more so I do not have any recent stories to relate. Please send some info this way. I will help you compose an article, if you feel you need the help. And Hey! That's a great idea regarding, the Calif. state bill on staffing ratios. Can we get a copy of that bill somehow? Also there are some nurses in Maryland meeting on 6/16/99 to discuss their concerns and talk aboutthe forming of a union. I don't know any more about this, as I am in Georgia. You can visit the web site at nsweb.nursingspectrum.com/NurseToNurse/ and view the message boards!
- 0May 4, '99 by bartonOoooooh Sophie!!
I think that God wrote this bill in answer to our prayers! Thanks for giving us the info, and I'm going to write my rep and ask him to read this and to SERIOUSLY AND IMMEDIATELY CONSIDER IT FOR FLORIDA!
EVERYONE------PLEASE------Read this bill, write to the appropriate people in your state, and ask them to read and consider it!
SOPHIE--by the way, I have asked that the "director" for our column be someone at that site, and that the rest of us submit---just wrote today and will let all know response!

Professional Development | News
Memphis City Schools (MCS) will implement a video capture solution in all 180 of its schools as a primary component of its professional development and teacher evaluation program.
With this technology, teachers will be able to use any video capture device to record themselves teaching a complete lesson or lesson segment. The teachers can then use the video for self-reflection or upload it to a secure Web site to share with colleagues. The district said it hopes to develop an online video repository of professional best practices using examples from teachers within the district, so teachers can learn from each other as part of the professional development process.
The technology the district chose for this project is from Teachscape, a provider of Web-based professional learning content, classroom observation and evaluation technologies, and teaching improvement services. MCS will provide each of its schools with at least one video capture device, which teachers can use to record lessons. Teachers can then upload their videos to Teachscape's secure, Web-based software, where they can review, comment on, and share videos with colleagues.
"The use of Teachscape's video technology allows our teachers to be their own first observer," said Monica Jordan, coordinator of reflective practice and teacher support at Memphis City Schools, in a prepared statement. "Teachers have so many ways in which they can use video to enhance their practice. They can use it for self-reflection, feedback, instructional planning, lesson prep, co-teaching, and more."
According to Jordan, the technology is easy enough to use that even administrators and teachers who are uncomfortable with technology can use it effectively.
Video-based professional development is not new to the district. MCS educators started using video as part of the Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. "As a result of the MET Project, teachers started using video to deconstruct and analyze their lessons and saw its value in improving their teaching effectiveness, and ultimately student achievement," said Jordan.
Memphis City Schools is a public school district in Memphis, TN, serving more than 100,000 K-12 students in 180 schools.
Further information about Teachscape is available at teachscape.com.

The scholarships are intended to assist former SEED participants in their transition from high school to college and consist of up to $5,000.
Project SEED College Scholarship Applications are to be submitted only by students who have participated in the Summer I or Summer II SEED program and who are entering their senior year in the fall. If you have questions or would like more information about the scholarship, contact email@example.com or call (800) 227-5558 ext. 4380.
Yousef Abdelmotaal
Scholarship Recipient
My experience with Project SEED encouraged me to pursue a career in chemistry and opened my eyes to a whole different world of science. Ultimately, I hope I can unitize the skills I learned over the summer in not only pharmacy school, but also in my everyday life. Like Project SEED, I hope I can teach other students effective communication, confidence, teamwork, and collaboration."

text: Yesterday, day 1 after telling MB no more flirting didn't go too bad. He came in the office in the AM as usual for his morning cup of coffee. Of all days we were alone. He asked me if our last conversation was enlightening (in other words thats why I told him to stop). I told him that it wasn't really anything we hadn't discussed before but that I felt it was time I took back control over my life. He said the flirting was NOT about power, that he just wants to be happy. My reply was - flirting with me makes you happy? He said...just seeing you like this makes me happy. That's not the first time he's told me I make him happy either. I told him that he couldn't have his cake and eat it too. He asked what I meant by that and I mentioned the casual touches that he had given me(not sexual, just the slight rub on the back, touching my hand, etc.) He said he wouldn't call that "touching" me. I told him it was more then I let other men touch me who are just friends. I told him all is good, that I agree it's messed up with the age difference. What I'm really thinking is WTF!!! I make him happy, he could see himself falling in love with me, we have a lot in common and have this chemistry going on but he'll ignore all that because of my age. Wow is all I can say. How many chances does a person get to fall in love and be happy? Today, day 2 was definitely more strained. He still come in the office this morning but it just felt all so wrong, almost like we were strangers trying to find something to say when we have never in the past had an issue with finding something to talk about. He gave me a box of his girl scout cookies, but he kind of looked sad and I know I felt sad but think I covered that up well. Neither yesterday or today did he make his usual 20 trips into the office for various reasons. I always thought they were excuses to see me and I guess I was right. I know I did the right thing for both of us. For me it was too hard emotionally and I obviously was/am confusing to him. I just hope we can find a way to push through the weirdness because I really miss him already. Since we never dated I'm hoping that in a few days things will be ok between us. If not I just have to stick it out a few more months until I move into another office where I will probably rarely see him.

Wow! What a year this has been for our family. 2012 brought lots of changes, but with that an abundance of unexpected blessings and an assurance that God answers prayer beyond what we ask and He has plans for each of our lives far greater than anything we could ever imagine.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. – Ephesians 3:20
We are thankful for His hand and provision throughout the transitions in our lives this year. So, so thankful, humbled and full of joy. We are praying for that 2013 will be a year where we experience His love and presence even more – whatever that may look like. We know He is good, His plans are perfect and His love for us is beyond our comprehension.
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and the hope for an amazing, Jesus filled 2013!
The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. – Psalm 126:3

The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office said Johnston was killed when he was lowering an approximately 24,000-pound dust collector and a chain broke. He was either struck in the head by the chain and thrown 30 feet or he was thrown off and struck his head on the ground.
The medical examiner said Johnston's cause of death was blunt force injuries.
Johnston was from Port Huron, Mich.

Mead Johnson Nutrition Co. (NYSE:MJN)
Taking a first cut at the new IPO, I get 30 million shares x a $26.40 share price = $790 million initial float. BMY is keeping 85% of the company, so call the total market cap 7x that, or $5.5 billion. Tack on $2 billion in debt, and we've got us here a $7.5 billion company with roughly $380 million in trailing free cash flow -- so an EV/FCF of 20.
I'd want to see the company growing at 20%-plus to justify that price. But according to Capital IQ, its actual profits growth rate over the last three years has been something closer to 5%.
In short, I'll pass.
See white flag. See white flag wave. Wave, white flag, wave.

Both of us drove short (70 mile) segments, and we both had our share of aggravation. Most important, we didn't lose or damage anything today. The way things have been going of late, that's a big plus!

Since we don't pay anything more than our annual maintenance fee it's inexpensive to stay at our Thousand Trails Preserves.

It aims to familiarize the student with the current conventional approaches as well as major challenges to them. The course discusses definition and measurement issues as well as briefly addressing survey techniques and modeling.
