Savient (SVNT) Leads Small-Cap Gainers Through Choppy Trading Session
All major indices were trading down for much of today's session with the Nasdaq leading the losses by shedding 0.19% to close at 1,858.80. In late trading the Dow closed at 8,799.26 for a modest gain of 0.32% and the S&P 500 closed up 0.14% to finish the day at 946.21.
Leading the small-cap gainers today was Savient Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq:SVNT) up 56% to close at $9.26 on news that the Food and Drug Administration said that the firm's gout treatment drug, Krystexxa, works. Based in East Brunswick, NJ, Savient makes specialty biopharmaceuticals as was founded in 1980.
Other small-cap leading gainers include WSP Holdings (NYSE:WH) up 24.5%; Independent Bank Corporation (Nasdaq:IBCPO) up 22.4%; and AC Moore Arts & Crafts (Nasdaq:ACMR) up 16.4%.
Small-cap decliners were lead by Hawaii-based Hoku Scientific (Nasdaq:HOKU) down 30.3% to close at $3.05. Hoku, a raw materials provider for the solar industry, announced that it may be unable to fund its operations over the next year and stated that it will not provide guidance for fiscal year 2010.
The other small-cap stocks posting big share price drops include iPCS (Nasdaq:IPCS) down 21.6%; P&F Industries (Nasdaq:PFIN) down 19.9%; and one of Wednesday's big gainers, Corel (Nasdaq:CREL), which slid 18.4%.
*****Its worse in Europe than here in the U.S. Industrial production dropped 1.9% in a particularly cruel April, nearly double the 1% drop that was expected. First quarter GDP was also down 2.5% for the 16 Euro-zone countries.
The recession there seems far from over, and Europe's weakness might be contagious because it should act as a stark reminder just how tenuous global economic recovery is.
*****Oil prices may have just hit their blow-off highs above $72 yesterday. As you know, I was early to the oil stock party. My SmallCapInvestor PRO readers took a 142% gain on one stock, Gulfport Energy (Nasdaq:GPOR), and we're holding +60% on another. And of course, if you've been following closely over the past six months you know that I've been in and out of Graham (AMEX:GHM) several times.
Now, it's getting late and I suspect the party might be ending, at least for a brief pause. I'm not calling for oil prices to crash. And the $33 a barrel price we saw back in February may never be seen again. But oil stocks, and stocks in general, are due for a pullback.
The 2nd Quarter ends June 30. And it would be reasonable to expect institutional investors to lock in some gains. I'm sure they are using put options to do some hedging, which helps explain the recent rise in volatility. But I also won't be surprised to see some outright selling. And it might have started with yesterday's afternoon drop for the indices.
The Dow Industrials were up well over 100 points in the early afternoon, but couldn't hold it as a late wave of selling left it with a gain of just 30. That's the opposite pattern of what we've seen for much of this rally. Institutional investors have been buying late in the day, supporting prices and leaving stocks with daily gains.
Institutional activity usually occurs at the beginning and end of the trading day, so this is something to keep an eye on.
*****Brazil, Russia, China and India contribute 15% to global GDP, but they have 42% of the world's currency reserves. And they may be on the verge of throwing their liquidity weight around.
Bloomberg reports that these countries will hold their first summit next week, and it's widely expected that they will announce that they are increasing their holdings of IMF bonds. Yes, that comes at the expense of U.S. bond holdings.
Apparently, fears of rising deficits and the potential inflation from an expanded money supply in the U.S. are driving them to diversify a bit.
Investors should take note. While the U.S. muddles through, and Europe continues to be mired in recession, the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) are the only countries in the world that can support their economies without taking on debt.
Chinese stocks are the ones I'm bullish on right now. If there is a slight pullback later this month, then Chinese stocks will suffer the least and more importantly, present great buying opportunities before the next leg up. To get my top Chinese selections, click HERE.

KVB, SEH, and ROYL Lead Small Cap Gainers
Stocks extended their gains today with all of the major indices closing up from this morning's open. The Dow Jones Industrial average closed at 8,770.92, up 0.37%; the Nasdaq added 9.29 points to close at 1,862.37; and the S&P 500 closed up 5.74 points at 944.89 for a 0.61% gain.
The small-cap stock bellwether index, the Russell 2000, was up 1.05% to close at 529.23.
Small-cap decliners were lead by Shanghai-based Linktone (Nasdaq:LTON) down 17.36% on unaudited Q1 results showing revenues at $14.8 million compared to $19.4 million for Q4, net income from continuing operations of $0.1 million compared to $1.1 million from Q4, net income of $0.3 million versus $0.6 in Q4.
Setting a new 52-week high today was American Dairy (NYSE:ADY), closing at $43.38. American Dairy produces and distributes milk powder, soybean milk powder, and related dairy products in China. American Dairy had been trading between $10 and $18 for much of 2009 until May 15 when it surged to $28.48 and continued on to $35.08 by May 19, pulling back, then steadily moving up again. After the closing bell on May 14 American Dairy announced Q1 2009 versus Q1 2008 sales increase of 191%, income from continuing operations increase of 523%, and net income up 282%.
*****The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that demand for oil is picking up. Instead of the 3% drop in demand, the IEA says that it now expects demand to be off a whopping - drumroll please - 2.9%. Sheesh.
When you're talking about 83.5 million barrels a day, a one-tenth of a percent revision should not be headline news. Somebody owes me an apology.
But seriously, I think it's pretty much understood that any statistic thrown out there by some agency or department is subject to revision. In fact, I get suspicious when numbers don't get revised…
*****Economics is the study of a human system of production and consumption of goods. And because it's a human system, there must always be some margin for error.
Especially at this stage of the recession/recovery, numbers are going to swing wildly. Retail sales, foreclosures, payrolls, it doesn't matter - the headline number will get revised.
Of course, this is what makes investing interesting. The data can only take you so far. And if one relies solely on economic data for buy and sell signals, poor results are inevitable.
*****As you know, I was quick to jump on oil stocks at the start of the current rally. Oil was trading around $40 a barrel when I recommended three small oil stocks in my SmallCapInvestor PRO advisory service and also recommended Graham Corp (AMEX:GHM) here to Daily Profit readers.
Obviously, investor sentiment toward oil has changed dramatically since I first started pushing oil stocks. That's what happens when an asset doubles in price in just a few months.
In fact, the bullish sentiment behind oil and oil stocks is so extreme that I've told SmallCapInvestor PRO to sell one oil stock and take the 142% gains we had off the table. Oil prices are due for a big correction, and there's no way I'm going to lose such a nice gain.
I'll be buying back oil stocks sometime this summer. And if you missed the big gains in oil this time around, don't worry, you'll get another chance. I'll cover oil consistently here in Daily Profit. And you can also get my stock recommendations on the next sector to run up, China, for SmallCapInvestor PRO HERE. So far this year, SmallCapInvestor PRO members are averaging 43% gains per recommendation.
*****I have one more announcement today. Jason Cimpl, the technical analyst for TradeMaster Daily Stock Alerts has graciously offered to start sharing his weekly forecasts with Daily Profit readers on Fridays. So tomorrow, you should get your first video chart analysis from Jason.
He's done a great job of keeping his readers in profitable trades during this rally. And his insights into what's driving stock prices and where they are likely to head next should prove a worthy addition to this letter.
Atlantic Tele-Network Leads Small Caps on Acquiring Verizon and Vodaphone Assets
Interest rate concerns and inflation worries put pressure on stocks today after the government's sale of $19 billion had a harder than usual time getting buyers. Investors seem concerned about the government's growing debt and that it could spur higher inflation and interest rates.
The Dow lost 24.04 points to close at 8,739.02; the Nasdaq shed 7.05 points to end the trading session at 1,853.08; and the S&P was down 3.28 points for 939.15.
Stocks comprising the Russell 2000, comprised of the 2,000 largest small-cap stocks, brought the index down to 523.41 on a loss of 4.52 points.
Other small-cap leaders include one of yesterday's leaders, Satyam Computer Services (NYSE:SAY) up 35.7% after being rated "overweight" by an analyst from JP Morgan; American Axle & Manufacturing (NYSE:AXL), another of yesterday's leaders, up 25.7%; and Corel Corp. (Nasdaq:CREL) up 34.75%.
Decliners were lead by NCI Building Systems (NYSE:NCS) down 26.1% on worries over its reports of larger than expected Q2 losses. Shares were going for $3.16 at market close, down from an opening price of $3.80.
Other small-cap decliners include one of yesterday's leading gainers, Sequenom (Nasdaq:SQNM). Yesterday SQNM lead small-cap gainers with a 45.97% gain but today lead decliners by shedding 22.83% of its opening price to close at $4.09. And after shedding 20.17% off its price yesterday, Quiksilver (NYSE:ZQK) saw shares drop another 12.71%. So far this week investors holding shares in Quiksilver have endured a total loss of 27% since Friday's close.
*****"The worst is to come…"
That's what MetLife's (NYSE:MET) Chief Investment Officer Stephen Kandarian told Bloomberg this morning.
He was talking about commercial mortgage defaults. He notes that "[t]ypically there's a lag between when the economy softens and when the defaults actually occur."
Bloomberg also cites a study from Real Estate Econometrics LLC that forecasts default rates for commercial real estate may hit 4.1% by the end of the year.
What does commercial real estate have to do with an insurance company? Plenty…
*****Insurance companies take in cash in the form of the premiums we pay. They then invest that money in order to pay off claims down the road. As their investment returns compound, they profit.
But when their investments lose money, trouble starts. And trouble is exacerbated when insurance companies sell guaranteed returns to investors in the form of annuities.
The promise of annuities forces insurance companies to seek riskier investments to boost their returns. And many have turned to mortgage-backed securities to make more money.
*****MetLife has a $300 billion investment portfolio. That portfolio lost 23% in the first quarter of this year. Mr. Kandarian freely admits he's looking for higher returns to make up the losses. And he's looking at adding securities backed by commercial mortgages, in addition to continuing to originate loans to the commercial real estate sector.
It reminds me of the gambler, who after suffering a big loss, decides to start doubling down and taking more risks to win his money back. It usually doesn't end well.
Of course, what he should do is simply step away from the table. But MetLife and other insurers can't -- they have to make money to meet their obligations. It's not a sure thing, but I can imagine it ending poorly for some insurance companies.
Corel Corp. posts Q3 results above the Street
Software company Corel Corp. (Nasdaq:CREL) posted third-quarter results this morning that trumped the consensus on Wall Street. The company also issued fourth-quarter guidance lower to inline with analysts' estimates. For the full year, Corel guided for revenues above the Street with earnings slightly lower to above the consensus.
Shares were halted in pre-market trading. For detailed price information and news stories on Corel, click CREL.
Corel slides in wake of buyout offer withdrawal
Canada's Corel Corp. (Nasdaq:CREL) saw its stock fall by 4.7% after announcing before the bell this morning that Corel Holdings LP has withdrawn its offer to acquire remaining outstanding shares.
Corel Holdings — an affiliate of Vector Capital Corp. — currently owns about 69% of Corel Corp., an Ottawa, Ontario-based business software firm.
Corel Holdings originally announced the buyout proposal of $11 a share in cash on March 28. Since then, Corel's board formed a special committee that, among other things, identified other third-party strategic alternatives.
Corel Holdings says it was withdrawing its proposal so that Corel Corp. could pursue some of those alternatives.
Corel is at $9 mid-morning, down $0.44 from Friday's close. The stock has traded between $6.94 and $13.95 in the past 52 weeks.

Corel reports Q2 profit declines, offers Q3 guidance
Corel Corporation (Nasdaq:CREL) reported early Thursday its second-quarter net income was $0.93 million, or $0.04 per share, compared with $2.3 million, or $0.09 a share, for the same quarter a year ago. The Canada-based software company provided guidance for the 2008 third-quarter with revenue of $63 million to $65 million. Full-year revenues should be between $263 million and $275 million. Ahead of the bell on Thursday, shares of Corel were flat at $9.32 apiece.[ More » ]
Russell 2000 sees green
The Russell 2000 (NYSE: IWM) and the other major U.S. indices opened in positive territory on good economic news and an upbeat forecast from Wal-Mart.
At 10:16 a.m. ET, the small-cap index had added 4.52 points, or 0.53%, to 849.71. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU) had advanced 77.39 points, or 0.55%, to 14,156.08.
Retailers posted generally weak same-store results for September due to unusually warm weather that stalled sales of cold-weather merchandise. Among small-cap retailers, Gottschalks Inc. (NYSE: GOT) and department store chain The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. (Nasdaq: BONT) reported same-store sales declines of 3.9% and 6.5%, respectively. Meanwhile, home accessories retailer Tuesday Morning Corp. (Nasdaq: TUES) missed analysts' projected first-quarter sales forecast.
However, the bulls seized on news that Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE: WMT) raised its third-quarter profit outlook despite second-quarter results that came in at the low end of its expectations.
In economic news, jobless claims for the week ended Oct. 6 fell by 12,000 to a level of 308,000, according to the U.S. Labor Department.
Elsewhere, U.S. import prices rose in September due to more expensive oil and food, but August U.S. exports increased 0.4% to $138.34 billion, while imports fell 0.4% to $195.92 billion. The Commerce Department also reported that the U.S. trade deficit contracted 2.4% to $57.59 billion in August, from $59.00 billion a month earlier.
Corel down after swinging to Q3 loss
Corel Corp. (Nasdaq: CREL) shares are down in after-hours trading after the Canadian software maker announced it swung to a third-quarter loss, after a one-time charge associated with its acquisition of InterVideo Inc. weighed down earnings.
Revenue for the three months ended Aug. 31 totaled $60.4 million, below analyst estimates of $61.2 million but up 46% from $41.3 million a year earlier. Corel posted a net loss of $6.8 million, or $0.27 per share, below Wall Street projections of $0.30 per share and compared with net income of $5.5 million, or $0.22 per share, in the year-ago quarter.
"Corel delivered another solid financial quarter, driven by our ability to successfully identify, acquire and integrate complementary companies and products," CEO David Dobson said in a statement. "We were especially pleased with the performance of our Graphics and Productivity products where we experienced double digit year-over-year growth for CorelDraw Graphics Suite, WinZip, Painter, Designer and iGrafx. These results demonstrate the strong foundation that we derive from our diverse revenue mix across product categories, distribution channels and geographies."
For the fourth quarter ending Nov. 30, Corel said it expects revenue in the range of $66 million to $70 million, compared with $47.4 million during the same period of 2006. The firm expects income in the range of $3 million to $5 million and earning between $0.12 and $0.19 per share, below income of $9.4 million, or $0.38 per share, during fourth-quarter 2006. Analysts expect earnings of $0.30 per share and $61.2 million in revenue for the fourth quarter.
For the fiscal year ending Nov. 30, Corel said it expects revenue in the range of $244 million to $248 million, from $177.2 million in fiscal 2006. The firm expects a net loss in the range of $13.3 million to $11.3 million and an earnings loss in the range of $0.51 to $0.44 per share, compared with net income of $9.3 million, or $0.66 per share, in fiscal 2006. Analysts expect earnings of $1.72 per share on $273.5 million in revenue.
In after-hours trading, CREL shares are down 4.65%, or $0.61, at $12.50. Over the last 52 weeks, shares have ranged from $11.90 to $14.51.
Canada Connection: Software? In Canada?
The last thing most small cap investors think of when they look north of the border is for opportunities is Canada's emerging software industry.
Other than Corel Corp. (Nasdaq: CREL), once a titan in Canada's equivalent of Silicon Valley outside the country's capital Ottawa, Canada is not seen as a hotbed of high-technology. But oddly, it is becoming increasingly so. Since the famous worldwide high-tech meltdown in 2001, Canada's industry has been struggling to recover. And, in recent years, it has recovered considerably. The Conference Board of Canada, the Ottawa-based equivalent of the New York-based board, said just recently in its review of the software industry that nearly two-thirds of emerging software companies reported profits last year, while computer and other technology hardware makers saw their profits soar.
"Profit levels for Canadian computer and electronic product manufacturers nearly doubled last year," it said. Profits hit C$2.1 billion in 2006, with the surge due primarily to dropping capital and material costs. This year, profit margins are forecast to reach 6%, which is just below where they stood during the tech boom (although in real dollar terms, far short of the C$4.3 billion the Canadians profited in 2001).
"This industry is smaller and leaner than it was at the height of the tech boom," says Louis Theriault, director of the Conference Board's industrial outlook division.
Meanwhile, PricewaterhouseCoopers in Toronto said in a similar review of the fledgling industry that 63% of emerging Canadian software firms were profitable last year, adding that's "good news" and in line with the 65% in 2005, and 56% in 2004.
The report, based on its fourth annual survey of software firms, found that as in past surveys, chief executives officers of these firms continued to predict significant revenue increases for the year ahead.
"However, while the majority of CEOs reported revenue increases of at least 10%, many fell short of their forecast," they found.

Nelumbo is a genus of water flowers or water lilies commonly known as lotus (Hindi: कमल). The word originates from the Sinhalese word Nelum. There are two species in the genus, one of which is the well-known National Flower of India. Taxonomists disagree as to exactly which family that the genus is in, with many saying that it is part of the Nymphaeaceae (water lily) family, and others saying that it is part of its own unique family, the Nelumbonaceae. However, even among those plant taxonomy systems which recognize the new family, there is disagreement as to which Order that it is in: Proteales, Nymphaeales, or a unique Nelumbonales order. [more]
At least 63 species and subspecies belong to the Genus Nelumbo.

NEW YORK / ACCESSWIRE / March 6, 2014 / Today Reuters, the world's largest multimedia news provider, announced the rollout of Reuters Live Online (RLO), a product for online publishers that provides fully licensable access to live video coverage of breaking news and scheduled events. Featuring news gathered by the global team of 2,700 Reuters journalists in over 200 locations, RLO is a new service that replaces the Reuters Live Stream product and offers industry leading innovations.
RLO's unique package of features includes the ability to provide multiple live feeds. At launch, RLO will be able to stream as many as three live events simultaneously to be viewed on any web-enhanced device, with adaptive bitrate streaming ensuring smooth delivery regardless of the speed of the available internet connection. This means that breaking news will not disrupt planned events and viewers can decide for themselves which event to watch. RLO's technology gives it the capability to offer even more simultaneous streams in the future.
"With a choice of delivery options, RLO is the most flexible online video solution for any customer, regardless of size," said Steven Schwartz, global managing director, Reuters News Agency. "Clients with smaller budgets and fewer resources can select the ease and simplicity of the hosted solution, where Reuters delivers the video player to the end user and supplies our customers with viewer analytics. Larger customers with more resources and experience with video can opt for the customizable non-hosted solution, where Reuters will send the video stream to the customer to be integrated into their usual workflow."
In addition, RLO is the only major online video service to offer a detailed editorial calendar of scheduled events, monitoring tools that provide real time and historical analytics that enable publishers to make coverage choices based on thematic or geographic popularity of previous events, and the fastest initial set up time, taking minutes instead of days to complete.
All customers currently on Reuters Live Stream will be migrated to RLO at no incremental cost for the duration of their contract.

Matt Harvey Could Be Held Back Until Home Opener At Citi
Mets manager Terry Collins told Kevin Kernan of the New York Post that he is looking at Matt Harvey like Bruce Bochy looks at Madison Bumgarner. "He's got the competitiveness of a stinkin' bear. Matt and I just met a couple of days ago in New York and talked about how important it is for him to understand that we've got to be careful." Collins said the Mets are now considering...

Mets have an idea: A 7-day DL to rest pitchers
One of the New York Mets' most important objectives during the 2015 season will be managing Matt Harvey's workload as he returns from Tommy John surgery. Obviously, the goal is to keep him healthy (as it would be for any pitcher), but also to avoid a Stephen Strasburg-type shutdown that would end Harvey's season in September. Skipping Harvey's turn in the starting rotation...

Adding Jacob deGrom to the Harvey-Wheeler comparison
Back in August of 2013, after he made his 10th start of the season, we ran a comparison of Zack Wheeler to what Matt Harvey had done in his first 10 starts in 2012. For fun, let's throw Jacob deGrom into the mix and see how his numbers stack up to his more heralded teammates.

Sprints and Supers head show Sat.
Bartlett and Castleberry: local stars from different generations
Bob Burbach
Marysville CA - July 8, 2014...
Marysville Raceway Park will host H & H Trenching's Night at the Races Saturday. The mighty MRP Winged 360 Sprint Cars will headline the program. The Pro 4 Sprint Cars will also be on the card. For stock car fans the MRP Super Stocks, Mini Stocks and MRP Hobby Stocks will compete in more outrageous, fender slamming championship point racing competition as well.
In the MRP Winged Sprint Car division, Paradise driver John Michael Bunch remains the point leader with Oroville's Heath Hall in second. Rookie star Jeremy Hawes of Marysville is right on the leader's heels and just seven points behind Hall in third.
MRP's premiere division has had impressive events of late and spectacular finishes in three consecutive races. Last time out Bunch just nipped Hall at the line. The week before, Bunch flipped wildly while leading opening the door for Hall and Hawes to close in the championship point chase. The race prior to that featured an outstanding run to the checkers by five time champion Korey Lovell of Yuba City. This race will be a Contingency Connection event offering bonus awards to the feature event winner.
The MRP Super Stock entries are filled with local chauffeurs including Yuba City championship contenders Corey Hall, Phillip Shelby and point leader Jerry Bartlett. The Super Stocks have put on some fan friendly fender crunching events this season. Bartlett has won the last two out of three.
The MRP Hobby Stocks will also be on the card with Olivehurst's Eddie Hammett leading the way in points and Linda's James Foster holds a slim four point edge in the MRP Mini Stock standings. Defending champion Misty Castleberry will lead the Pro 4 contingent into Saturday's program. The local lady star has won every feature event offered by the Pro 4s this season.
It seems it's worth noting, speaking of Castleberry, that her quest for a perfect season in Pro 4 competition is unprecedented. Never in the history of the facility has a driver won every feature event, in any class. Castleberry, who spends most of her week running the local Marysville Flea Market, came close a couple of years ago when she bettered the long-standing record of nine feature events in a row. That record was set by Yuba City's Jerry Bartlett. Castleberry did it in her Mini Stock getting her tenth in a row on July 26th, 2010. Bartlett's streak came in the opening season of Pure Stock racing at MRP in 1996.
The 1996 Pure Stocks morphed into the fire breathing Super Stocks that will run on Saturday and Bartlett has rocketed to the top of that class. In contrast, Castleberry's win streak this year has been in the open wheeled Pro 4 Sprint Cars.
While there are seven races remaining on the schedule in Pro 4 competition, no other driver has shown an ability to run with Castleberry. Her dominance of the class comes after stellar Rookie of the Year performances and a multitude of feature event victories. Her efforts resulted in a championship in the division last season. Castleberry also competes in MRP's Wingless Sprint Car class with an occasional return to her Mini Stock as well.
For Bartlett, this is his last hurrah. Earning the moniker, "Mr. Controversy", he intends to retire at the conclusion of this season. He is traveled and he has won often and with regularity in many of his seasons and at many different tracks. Like it or not, he is a local legend and with his foot on the throttle once again he intends to be a champion in his final year. Bartlett told this observer late last year that this would be his last season and he wanted one more title and he wanted to grab it at his home track.
After working out some mechanical issues early in the season, Bartlett has been on a tear in a division that features no fewer than four former champions on any given Saturday night. Bartlett has been patient and has been remarkably consistent in making late race moves after the early race fender crunching carnage has taken place. Bartlett has won the last two of three at MRP, finishing second last time out while challenging for the lead.
Castleberry's take has been different. She has rushed to the front early and stayed there in each of her victories. Castleberry and Bartlett are generations apart and while their strategies are different, the ultimate quest for both is yet another championship.
Gates open at 5pm with racing starting at 7 pm.

HAMILTON, N.Y. (AP) - Murphy Burnatowski scored a career-high 35 points, including a game-winning 3-pointer with 17 seconds left in overtime, as Colgate defeated Patriot League-foe Army 93-90 Wednesday night.
Colgate (7-13, 1-3) trailed 88-83 in overtime, but charged back with seven straight points, capped by Brandon James' 3-pointer with 1:50 left. Ella Ellis responded with two free throws for Army, setting up Burnatowski's tie-breaking 3-pointer to cap the scoring.
Ellis and Kyle Wilson each missed 3-pointers for the Black Knights (8-11, 1-3) in the waning seconds.
Ellis netted just five points on 1-of-10 shooting, but moved into ninth place on Army's all-time scoring list with 1,357 points.
Wilson led Army with 23 points.
Dylan Cox put Army ahead 81-75 with 51 seconds left in regulation, but Colgate's Mitch Rolls hit 3-pointers with 25 and 9 seconds left to tie the game and force overtime.
Rolls and James each finished with 15 points.

The GDL Fund Declares First Quarter Distribution Of $0.32 Per Share
The Board of Trustees of The GDL Fund (NYSE: GDL) (the "Fund") declared a $0.32 per share cash distribution payable on March 21, 2013 to common shareholders of record on March 14, 2013.
Each quarter, the Board of Trustees reviews the amount of any potential distribution from the income, capital gain, or capital available. The Board of Trustees will continue to monitor the Fund's distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund's net asset value and the financial market environment. In light of the Fund's income, net asset value and the financial market environment, the Board of Trustees is reviewing the quarterly cash distribution amount for future periods. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund.
In addition to quarterly cash distributions of all or a portion of its investment company taxable income (which includes ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains) to common shareholders, the Fund makes annual distributions of its realized net long-term capital gains, if any. A portion of the distribution may be a return of capital. Various factors will affect the level of the Fund's income, such as its asset mix and use of merger arbitrage strategies. To permit the Fund to maintain more stable distributions, the Fund may from time to time distribute more or less than the entire amount of income earned in a particular period. Because the Fund's current quarterly distributions are subject to modification by the Board of Trustees at any time and the Fund's income will fluctuate, there can be no assurance that the Fund will pay distributions at a particular rate or frequency.
If the Fund does not generate sufficient earnings (dividends and interest income and realized net capital gain) equal to or in excess of the aggregate distributions paid by the Fund in a given year, then the amount distributed in excess of the Fund's earnings would be deemed a return of capital. Since this would be considered a return of a portion of a shareholder's original investment, it is generally not taxable and is treated as a reduction in the shareholder's cost basis. Under federal tax regulations, some or all of the return of capital distributed by the Fund may be taxable as ordinary income in certain circumstances. This may occur when the Fund has a capital loss carry forward, net capital gains are realized in a fiscal year, and distributions are made in excess of investment company taxable income.

Family tree▼
m. 12 Sep 1953
Facts and Events
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (née Jacqueline Lee "Jackie" Bouvier; pronounced ; July 28, 1929 – May 19, 1994) was the wife of the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, and First Lady of the United States during his presidency from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. Five years later she married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis; they remained married until his death in 1975.

She is remembered for her contributions to the arts and preservation of historic architecture, her style, elegance, and grace. She was a fashion icon; her famous ensemble of pink Chanel suit and matching pillbox hat has become symbolic of her husband's assassination and one of the lasting images of the 1960s.

Names of Every MP Caught in Re-Renting Scandal
Below are the constituency office rent arrangements for every MP. A quick browse of the landlords and you can see the names of every MP who pays his own party using taxpayer money.
Stay tuned…

Stay tuned…
Meanwhile the big fraud goes on.
Why won't MPs publish how much the state owes to civil servants for pensions?
Why won't they do the same for the state pensions?
All off the books.
See sections 1-5 2006 fraud act for the offences.
Fuck me…it's all of 'em!
Same as last time with their expenses they just can't help themselves
Rossindell, you cunt!
Page 10 Whole Government Account 2011-12
£1,008 billion (restated 2010-11: £961 billion) liability for public service pensions
That was quick!
Not interested.
We're just 45 minutes away from an interest rate rise
and 46 minutes from a pay rise
Of at least 10% PLUS ….Even more opportunities to fiddle EXPENSES
Creative accounting its what we do best, after all its only the
fcuking Mike Hunt Tax Payers* who are getting shafted, so thats OK.
* Of course we are excused paying TAXES & NOT like the rest of the Mike
Hunts the Mugs who are screwed for every last penny whist alive &
after Death !! (Guess who wrote the Rules LOL LOL LOL )
Hang about – the published list shows the name of the landlord but does not specify that the landlord is charging rent.
This goose is not quite cooked yet!
Had a quick look to see if the usual suspects were on it (they were!) but couldn't be bothered to go through the entire list.
Not unexpected. It is well known lefty loons all have a very short attention span.
Does "inactive" signify innocence?
Of course not, just remember they are MP's & its in there genes to screw
Joe Public every which way they can & for as much as possible at every
They are no doubt operating this scam by a different method
which is at present undetected !!! so a lot more may suddenly become
inactive. And like money laundering all you need to do is follow the
money trail to find where its going….. like off shore ??? back pockets ???
or up one & others ar*ses ….???
Why aren't the Northern Ireland MP's rental arrangements missing from these lists?
Sorry….typo error….'Why are' not 'Why aren't'
What is the split Lab-Con-Lib ?
Who troughs the most ?
When I come here in January the tax payer can pay my rent too!
vă mulțumesc prietenilor mei.
Its not relevent unless they are being charged massively over inflated rents. If they are paying under the odds its actually saving the public purse.
The fact that the landlord has been chosen the landlord on a political basis, rather than a purely commercial one, suggests the former. Unless of course the party is feeling charitable to the tax payer and is offering a below market rent #flyingpigs
Labour obviously Big Jock Knew !!
Who pays Guido and neo Guido's rent, I wonder ?????
You missed the word boy that should be after rent.
I note that Hancock rents from Zionstone. Funny name for a lapdancing club.
Kingprint in Bristol West –
The Bristol North Liberal Democrats state in their annual return to the Electoral Commission "Kingprint is a voluntary printing society run by members of the Local Party"
Have just sent the link to my MP. Others should do the same.
Maybe the spy-in-the-holdall was about to do a "Snowden"?
Naughty Danny Alexander
David ShAmess
Tom Blinkingsod
Chris Bryfronts
Karen Buck, ugly minger
Menzies "been around since the signing of the Magna Carta" Campbell
Douglas "got no charisma or sense of humour" Carswell
Bill "got lotsa" Cash
Rosie "I put crisps and chocolates on expenses even though I'm a fat fuck and should go on a diet" Cooper
Mad Nads in the jungle
Calamity Clegg
I See Simon Kirby in Sussex is renting from the Conservative Association. Any idea how much (if it was there I can only apologise for not looking hard enough)
Some interesting results from that list.
Considering just the Actives:
There are 30 Individual MPs involved.
Totals by party:
Con : 13 Lab : 12 LD : 2 Lab/CO-OP : 2
Some names which stick out:
Ed Balls
Danny Alexander
Douglas Alexander
Rushanara Ali
Norman Baker
Gordon Banks
Total above should have been: 29

These corrupt bastards just refuse to learn don't they? Are they expecting their attempt at a muzzle on the press will allow them to hide their corrupt activities? You know the Unite farce in Falkirk pales into virtual insignificance compared to £3.6 million of taxpayers cash being funneled into political party coffers. How many lamp posts are there in parliament square?
"GUIDO" When are the individual amounts of Office Rent Payments going to
Published or will that only be forced out by FOI demand ??
Wonder if HMRC is aware of this scam ???
Nice to see the MP who accidentally forgot he was keeping his Stables
(ie Full of Illegal Immigrants) & Mobile Home (ie More of Them) nice &
cosy at the fcuking mug tax payers expense is also of this list for the
Office Rents Scam…….
Now who would have believed that ??? & of course accidental as well !!!
The thieving fcuker ……..
Reblogged this on wheelsofpoliticalsteel.
Why should constituency parties be the only institutions in the world you think should offer revenue-potential rental space for free?

Stellenbosch, South Africa
As part of our ongoing effort to expand our international network of humanities centers and institutions, CHCI will be holding a special meeting for invited guests in October at the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study (STIAS) in South Africa on the theme of the dynamism of the humanities in contemporary Africa. The CHCI International Advisory Board and 17 invited guests (mostly humanities scholars and practitioners based in Africa) will come together in this closed meeting over two days to discuss four general topics and other general themes and issues that arise from these conversations. Guests include scholars and practitioners in the fields of history, sociology, African Studies, arts, literary writing, music composition and performance, education policy, and grant making.
This meeting in Africa continues CHCI's ongoing internationalization efforts to humanities centers and institutes that began several years ago at the Rockefeller Center in Bellagio where we reached out to potential European members and affiliates, and then continued in Hong Kong and Macau where we reached out to Asian institutions.
Part of CHCI's outreach effort is to understand and be sensitive to regional conditions that affect the research, production, and shape of the humanities. To that effect, four topical panels have been developed to ground our conversation in the humanities in contemporary Africa. In one panel we ask how Africa's continental specificities affect our understanding and research of the humanities. Another panel asks guests how the humanities influence the public. The third panel turns this around and asks how concrete projects such as the African Library project and Tombouctou Manuscripts Project craft new directions for the humanities in Africa. The final panel brings our scholarly conversations to the book Theory from the South (Comaroff and Comaroff, 2012). The book makes the case that theories developed in the "North" and applied to Africa can actually be seen as being derived from practices that were first discerned in Africa. We bring this conversation back to South Africa, and assess how other African humanities scholars and practitioners respond to the book's claims.
We thank the Centre for Humanities Research at the University of the Western Cape for helping us with logistics and programming, and we are grateful to STIAS for generously offering their conference space for our meeting.

33% of the people The Food Bank serves are children; 11% are elderly; and 11% are homeless families.
Volunteer Orientations of 2014!
• Tuesday, January 13th @ 6pm
Volunteers are a crucial part of The Food Bank's work. If you are energetic, reliable, caring, and cooperative, please consider joining our volunteer group!
Questions should be directed to Erin Sullivan, Volunteer Coordinator, at (413) 247-9738 x128 or email@example.com.
For the third straight year, The Food Bank participated in one of the most special days in Western Massachusetts — Valley Gives Day. Aimed at supporting non-profit organizations in the Pioneer Valley, the day-long celebration of on-line giving brings together thousands of donors to support the organizations closest to their hearts. This year the event saw record numbers once again, raising more than $2,676,000 for 463 local non-profit agencies.
It was so amazing to see the out-pouring of generosity, as donations rolled in all throughout the day. In the end, you donated more than $69,000 to The Food Bank, which was the most amongst all participating organizations! In addition, we received a total of $3,500 in bonus awards from The Community Foundation, bringing our grand total to just under $73,000.
Although Valley Gives Day is only one day a year, your donations will have a lasting impact on the more than 200,000 people in Western Massachusetts that are struggling with food insecurity. With the money raised on Dec. 10, we can provide an additional 219,000 meals to people who are forced to choose between buying food or paying for heat, medication or rent.
We would like to thank everyone who participated in Valley Gives Day and contributed to strengthening our community. Whether you donated to The Food Bank, or any one of the other 462 worthy organizations, your generosity is what makes our region a very special place for all of us to call home.
For more information about Valley Gives Day, visit The Community Foundation's web site.

TPG reader William emailed me to ask:
"I have had a Chase Sapphire Preferred for quite awhile. I recently had my wife get her own card. We are finishing up the minimum spending and her 40,000 points will post shortly. I'd like to know if I can transfer her Ultimate Reward points to my Ultimate Rewards account to combine them since my account already has 150,000 points. Your thoughts?"Yes, you absolutely can transfer her points into your account. That's the beauty of Ultimate Rewards, they are much more flexible about things like transfers than many other programs. You can combine other people's accounts with your own, and do it entirely online. However, you do have to enter a credit card number in order to do the transfer, so be careful doing this with anyone you don't know well since once those points are transferred, they're gone.
The ability to transfer them quickly and easily makes Chase Ultimate Rewards Points extra valuable, but you don't want to abuse this by selling points or doing it too much with accounts of people who are not immediately related to you as there have been instances where Chase will shut down your account for what they consider "inappropriate activity." So if Chase sees you transferring points to a million different accounts or abusing this privilege, just keep in mind your account may be shut down and your points taken away, so use caution.
Anyway, this is the reason I just love my Ultimate Rewards points, they are ultra flexible. Even with a Freedom or Sapphire account, which do not allow you to transfer UR points to the travel partner programs, you can combine the points you earn from those cards with those you earn with a premium Ultimate Rewards card like the Sapphire Preferred or Ink Bold or Ink Plus, and then you can transfer out to partners from there.

Time Out says
Posted: Wed Feb 24 2010
This quaint neighborhood French bistro succeeds in the looks department with a classic combination of white pressed-tin ceiling, worn wooden tables and vases full of fresh flowers. Unfortunately, the food lacks the same charm. A frisée salad comes with a perfectly poached egg and bits of smoky, fatty lardons, but is slicked with a bland vinaigrette. The steak is paired with excellent fries—but also par-cooked green beans that taste faintly of cooking gas. Desserts such as a creamy chocolate mousse and heavenly scoops of hazelnut ice cream eliminate the bad taste in your mouth, but not enough to save the meal.

Earlier this week Seattle-based Tully's Coffee announced it's going to file bankruptcy and reorganize to cut operating expenses.
Spokane has three area Tully's coffee shops: Browne's Addition, South Hill (on 29th) and on 104 S. Freya.
Heidi Happonen, a spokeswoman, said the reorganization will not affect those three locations.
Whew, that's a relief. Need us plenty of coffee places here in Spokane if we're going to compete with the bigger cities.

A little too proud to be a nurse?
- 11Aug 26, '13 by joyfullpnI've been a nurse for a few years now but it still seems very new to me. I love my job and couldn't have chosen a better career. I don't walk down the streets screaming I'm a nurse but if I were to see any nurse key chains, nurse tshirts ,etc. I would get it. I try not to be annoying about the love for my job but I definitely like to express it! Anyone else out there feel the same?
- 6Aug 26, '13 by StVitusDanceRNThere is nothing wrong with being proud of what you do. Makes you sometimes wish there were more. I make fun of the local fire fighters for always having some kind of FD stuf. But is done in a loving way. I
- 11Aug 26, '13 by Joe V Adminnever be ashamed of what you love doing ... be proud ... scream it out loud if you want to
- 5Aug 26, '13 by bakedrnI have a gold, birthstone, RN, caduceus pendant that I have worn around my neck since I graduated, in 1996. If you love what you do, be proud of it. Any nurse who is ashamed of the profession, probably shouldn't be nursing.
- 1Aug 26, '13 by prnqdayI'm the same way. I love being a nurse and proud of my profession. I buy RN thingy's all the time.
- 6Aug 26, '13 by Whispera, BSN, MSN, APRN, CNSI am nurse, hear me ROAR!
- 4Aug 26, '13 by NurseGhostHunterI don't have anything against nursing items like keychains, rings, tee shirts, etc even though I don't own any nursing related items myself (I've only been a nurse for a little over a year so maybe my excitement level could change somewhere down the road) but I do have to admit I find the personalized license plates like one I saw this weekend that read "Nurse1" a bit over the top and a tad tacky for my taste.
But then again to each their own and as long as they aren't hurting anyone I shouldn't say anything.
- 8Aug 26, '13 by ♫patiently_waiting❤Wow, I didn't think there were any nurses like you out there. On AN you constantly see nurses saying how they hate nursing. RARELY anyone stating how they love it. Glad to hear this.
- 0Aug 26, '13 by gonzo1I too love being a nurse for many, many reasons. And right now I am lucky enough to work with a great group of people.
And interestingly enough, I went into nursing for what some would say are all the wrong reasons: great pay and good job security. So I never say anything bad about people who seem to choose nursing for the alleged benefits because you never know, they might turn out like me and find out they were always meant to do this.

December 18, 2014
It was a mad dash to get out of Downtown Rockford Saturday night as a birthday bash turned into a birthday brawl. Several shots were fired and hundreds of people rushed to get out alive.
Rockford Police say shots were fired just after midnight inside of the UAW in the 100 block of North Second Street. A birthday party was taking place with about 500 people in attendance. Party goers were scrambling to get out of the building. Punches were thrown and Rockford Police used pepper spray to end the face off. Outside in a nearby alley another round of shots were fired. That sent downtown patrons out of various establishments to see what was going on. In all Rockford police arrested three individuals and recovered 2 guns. There were no injuries.

Like sleeping through an entire night or making a Thanksgiving turkey for lunch, laundry is a necessary but often time-consuming chore. Free up a few hours with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $20 for a $50 self-service laundry voucher
- $10 for a $25 self-service laundry voucher

Self-service prices range from $2.50 for a double load in an 18-pound washer to $4.49 for a triple express load in a 30-pound washer and $7.49 for a giant load in an 80-pound washer.

Blue Bubble Express Laundromat
Located a stone's throw from the Ohio State University campus, Blue Bubble Express Laundromat houses an extensive fleet of clothes-cleansing equipment that thoroughly washes and dries the garments of students and locals alike. Front-loading washers hold 18- to 80-pounds, and efficient dryers carry equally hefty loads. Express washers digitally display the remaining time in each cycle, and many of Blue Bubble Express Laundromat's Energy Star– and CEE–certified machines use less gas and electricity than regular devices. Wash-and-fold service lets customers drop off bundles for pickup about two days later, or they can wait for clothing to dry on-premises while gazing into three LCD televisions, perusing the information superhighway with free WiFi, or reading a flipbook on the history of fabric softener.
Never have I been able to get so much laundry done so quickly!Evalyn W., Yelp, 6/29/11
