ZFS Hits an Important Milestone, Version 0.6.1 Released 99
from the brand-new dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
does not a milestone make. Looking at this issue list - https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues - makes me wary to even consider zfs on linux for any serious work.
Kernel panics, deadlocks, data corruption; not really things you'd want.
I've had 6 production ZFS servers under heavy load for over a year (FreeBSD 9.0-RC -> 9.1-RELEASE) without any problems. I've started building all of my new servers with root-on-zfs to start taking advantage of beadm (boot environments, lets you do a clone of your root file system, do an upgrade in a jail, then try booting off it, and then decide if you want to keep it, or roll back)
ZFS runs great on FreeBSD as well.
And this "FFS", this is also a file system? (
Yes [berkeley.edu].
Version 5000 is used for community ZFS implementations that have feature flags (Illumos, BSD, and Linux).
If you're talking about Solaris, the current version is 34; any version past 28 comes after Oracle closed off Solaris. Note that beyond version 28, the community and Oracle ZFS pools are not interoperable.
Sort of, but it's different than you are thinking. Linux is licensed under the GPL 2, while ZFS is licensed under CDDL. Those two licenses are not compatible. Since the GPL is a distribution license, not a use license, there is nothing stopping you from using ZFS on Linux. However, you can't ship the two combined as you would then be violating the license. The practical effect is that you won't ever see a kernel implementation of ZFS ship with a Distro unless oracle relicenses ZFS. You'll have to download, compile, and install ZFS yourself for the Linux-based computers that you want to use it on. And that's perfectly legal within the scope of the licenses.
Snapshots, volumes, checksums, easy expansion, better drive management, shorter recovery time when the system crashes, etc etc etc. ZFS is so far ahead of ext4 they are in completely different fields. ZFS works well on low resource machines too. I use it on a small home server with 512MB of RAM and it's been running great for over a year.

The City in History: Its Origins, Its Transformations, and Its Prospects
Thorough Analysis of the City Across Time Things Lewis Mumford
Thorough Analysis of the City Across TimeWas this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
Things Lewis Mumford likes: medieval towns and "garden city" ideals. Things Lewis Mumford does not like: Roman cities and capitalism. If you can make it through this dense, comprehensive work you will have a much better understanding of the history of cities. You will learn how they came into existence, what functions they performed, and what purposed they filled throughout time.
Mumford asserts that "human life swings between two poles: movement and settlement." To illustrate this, he takes readers from the earliest cave dwellings up to the modern era. Well, the modern era of the 1960s, when The City in History was written. Though he has been criticized for veering off-point with his anti-capitalist sentiments and his fears about the future, as well as his failure to acknowledge any contributions made by certain periods (i.e. Roman), this is still a book to be reckoned with.
The City in History is still referenced by urban planners, sociologists, etc. today and really makes you think about cities in a whole new way. This may not be the book you take with you to the beach, but it is still the best starting point for those who want to better understand how the urban form has evolved. The style may be dry at times (with so much information to touch on, this is difficult to avoid), but Mumford presents things in an interesting way. Like his point that the dead were the first in history to have permanent dwellings! Graveyard - I never thought of that, but it's true!
Posted January 9, 2013
History from an Urban Perspective

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
24 Sep 2013 02:42 GMT | Politics, Asia Pacific, Cambodia
Cambodia's parliament has approved a new five-year term for Prime Minister Hun Sen following weeks of political turmoil over his disputed election win.
The controversial move came despite recent mass public protests and a boycott of the National Assembly by the opposition, which has alleged widespread fraud in the July polls.
The opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) refused to take its seats for the opening session of the lower house on Monday, saying the kingdom was sliding towards "dictatorship".
Despite its absence, King Norodom Sihamoni asked Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party (CPP) to form a new cabinet.
All 68 ruling party lawmakers on Tuesday approved a list of government members with Hun Sen reappointed Prime Minister through a show of hands, according to an AFP reporter in parliament.
The CNRP, which is demanding an independent investigation into the July elections, has described the legislature as a "one-party parliament".
'Will of the people'
It has rejected the results of the polls, alleging widespread vote irregularities.
"We are honest to the people. We are honest to the nation. We will never betray the will of the people," opposition leader Sam Rainsy said in a video clip released to coincide with the start of parliament on Monday.
According to official results, the CPP won 68 seats against 55 for the CNRP.
The number is enough for the ruling party to rubber-stamp the appointment of Hun Sen and his ministers and to pass legislation in the lower house.
Tens of thousands of opposition supporters joined three days of demonstrations in the capital, Phnom Penh, earlier this month. One protester was shot dead and several wounded as security forces clashed with a stone-throwing crowd.
Hun Sen, who suffered his worst poll result in 15 years in July, last week agreed to find a peaceful solution to the dispute in talks with his main rival Rainsy. But he has ruled out an independent probe.

Florida Community Asks Mermaid To Swim Elsewhere
By Mark Memmott
Jenna Conti just wants to swim.
In her custom-made mermaid costume.
At the Fishhawk Ranch community pools in Tampa, Fla.
But rules are rules, the local development district board says. And the rules say no swim fins in the pools.
So Conti, or Eden Sirene as she's known when she swims, has been left high and dry.
She "just wanted to really show some magic here in Fishhawk," Conti says.
Still, her dream lives on. She hopes to someday swim with other mermaids at the Florida Aquarium.

Do You Think "Choosy Mothers Choose Caesareans"?
Do You Think "Choosy Mothers Choose Caesareans"?
When my mother was having children doctors didn't offer the option of having a planned caesarean section — it was just something that happened when the woman went into labor and complications arose. Today, women are more apt to debate the benefits and risks of vaginal births and caesarean sections, so much so that Time Magazine recently reported "Choosy Mothers Choose Caesareans." Here's more:
On the medical side, better anesthesia and antibiotics are making the procedure safer. Add to that the growing number of women delaying childbirth, those having twins or triplets as a result of in vitro fertilization and America's exploding obesity epidemic — all of which increase the risks of vaginal delivery...In an increasingly technological and medicalized society, maybe even childbirth is losing some of its magic and becoming less about the miracle of life and more about simply getting a baby out safely and without incident.
According to Time, rates of C-sections have been climbing every year in the past decade in the US, reaching a high of 31percent of all live births in 2006. That's a 50 percent increase since 1996. It's not just in the US though, apparently in certain hospitals in Brazil, 80 percent of babies are delivered by caesarean.

With pipelines running through Ukraine, European countries fear their supply could get cut short.
Vilnius, Lithuania – With the Crimea crisis souring relations between Russia and the European Union, many European nations are increasingly concerned about their heavy reliance on Russia for natural gas.
Many European countries get a significant amount — in some cases all — of their natural gas from Russia, and they fear that as relations deteriorate over Ukraine, it could be just a matter of time before the supply is affected — either through disruptions to the supply routes that run through Ukraine or, as is considered more likely, the result of political moves from Moscow.
The E.U. and the United States are expected to announce the first round of sanctions against Russia on Monday.
According to the German newspaper Bild, the E.U. already has drawn up a list of high-level Russians who could be hit with travel bans and asset freezes. That list includes the chief executives of Russia's largest energy companies.
The fear is that Russia will respond by disrupting the flow of natural gas to its clients in Europe.
European leaders have been warning of their vulnerability for weeks. Last week, Poland's prime minister, Donald Tusk, said the dependence on Russian gas supplies would seriously hamper Europe's ability to respond if Russia moved beyond Crimea.
"We will not be able to efficiently fend off potential aggressive steps by Russia in the future, if so many European countries are dependent on Russian gas deliveries or wade into such dependence," he said.
Bulgaria's prime minister told his Parliament earlier this month that his country had enough natural gas for the next two months, but that natural gas use must be carefully managed in case of disruptions to their supply lines.
"Russia uses natural gas as one of its main trump cards in its foreign policy tool kit," said Amanda Paul, a foreign-policy analyst at the European Policy Centre, a Brussels-based independent think tank. "It is able to raise or drop prices as it feels like it, depending on its foreign policy needs, or cut out supplies altogether."
Earlier this month, the ambassadors of Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic sent a letter to the U.S. Congress urging the United States to do more to permit the export of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Europe. Each of the four countries buys between 70 percent and 100 percent of its gas from Russia.
"Energy security is not only a day-to-day issue for millions of citizens in our region, but it is one of the most important security challenges that America's allies face in central and Eastern Europe today," the ambassadors wrote.
But congressional action would be of little value in the current standoff. The United States is not expected to be capable of shipping substantial amounts of LNG for at least two years.
There is precedent for Russia using natural gas exports to get its way. Five years ago it halted gas supplies to Ukraine in a dispute over pricing. That led to a domino effect on economies that relied on gas piped through Ukraine. In 2006, a similar dispute led to gas shortages in several E.U. countries.
While some nations have been able to diversify their imports, many European countries still consider themselves far too reliant on Russian energy.
"For gas we have total dependence on Russia," said Zilvinas Silenas, president of the Lithuanian Free Market Institute, an independent think tank based in Vilnius.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Bombers will pick either Lavertu or Goossen
Will be shock if Blue don't make one of these OL their first pick
The Canadian Football League Draft has long been considered the ultimate in crapshoots.
Just like any draft in any pro sport, the CFL's history is dotted with first-round busts and late steals. But it has also notgooriously seen both the Ottawa Rough Riders and Montreal Alouettes draft dead men in the mid-90s.
Oops and double oops.
All of which brings us to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and their plans for today's annual Canadian talent grab. With all their stinking over the last few years, the Bombers have selected first, third and second overall in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and have the second pick again for this draft.
What's significant here for the Bombers and their long-suffering faithful is even while stockpiling those high picks, the club currently has very little to show for it. Henoc Muamba, selected first overall in 2011, signed this off-season with the Indianapolis Colts. Tyson Pencer, the third-overall pick in 2012, has battled injury and has played in one game in two years while Andy Mulamba, drafted second overall last year, made the Green Bay Packers last season as a rookie.
The new regime, led by GM Kyle Walters and head coach Mike O'Shea, understand the importance of scoring TDs on their picks better than anyone. Both were Top 10 picks as players -- O'Shea in 1993 and Walters in 1996 -- and know the Bomber roster needs a serious upgrade of homegrown help.
With all that as a backdrop, here are five storylines to follow for today's draft:
1. Who goes first and second?
The expansion Ottawa Redblacks own the first overall pick and both the new kids and the Bombers are eyeing the same area of need -- the offensive line, particularly centre. Ottawa felt it had the centre position covered when it selected veteran Marwan Hage in the dispersal draft, but he has since retired. The Bombers, meanwhile, are looking to replace Justin Sorensen, who signed with Edmonton as a free agent this winter.
The Redblacks are said to be leaning toward either Pierre Lavertu of the Laval Rouge et Or or David Foucault of the Montreal Carabins. Both are also francophone, which can be an important factor in the national capital region. Worth noting: Foucault will attend the Carolina Panthers rookie camp next week, although he has yet to sign.
Interestingly, the Bombers flew only two prospects in for a look-see prior to the draft -- Lavertu, third in the final CFL Scouting Bureau's ranking, and Simon Fraser offensive lineman Mathias Goossen, ranked ninth. If they don't grab whoever is still available, it would be as big a story as drafting a player without a pulse.
2. The Bison watch
The University of Manitoba has two players ranked in the Top 10 -- defensive lineman Evan Gill is listed at six; running back Anthony Coombs at eight. The Bisons haven't had a player selected in the first round since Wes Lysack went fifth overall to Calgary in 2003 and have never had two taken in the Top 10.
Coombs is seen as a versatile Andre Durie-type who could play tailback, slotback and return kicks.
Gill, has packed on some muscle since the end of the Bison season but has spent the last couple of days putting out fires with respect to a quad injury, the extent of which has not yet been determined. He had an MRI last Thursday and has not seen the results, but that did not stop some media speculation that had him out for six to eight weeks.
"I'm at the gym right now working out and moving along as planned," said Gill Monday. "I suspect it is minor. I don't want teams to be alarmed and I don't need this kind of stuff being said in the media, especially if it's not exactly true."
In an attempt to be proactive and upfront, Gill did contact every CFL team about the injury. But how it might affect his draft status won't be known until tonight.
3. The lure of the show
Four Canadians were drafted by NFL teams over the past weekend, the highest-ever total. They are O-lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, who won the J.P Metras Trophy as the top lineman in the CIS last year and is the CFL Scouting Bureau's top-ranked player (Kansas City; 6th round/200th overall); D-lineman Brent Urban (Baltimore; 4th round/134th overall), O-lineman John Urschel (Baltimore, 5th round/175th overall) and T.J. Jones (Detroit; 6th round/189th overall). Interestingly, both Urschel and Jones were born in Winnipeg but, because they played high school football in the U.S., would have to fill out paperwork making them eligible for the CFL draft. They did not.
4. Does Kevin Glenn become a draft-day story?
Ottawa selected Glenn in the expansion draft last December and it seemed like he had found a perfect spot to finish up his career. And then Ottawa threw $400,000-plus at Henry Burris and declared him their No. 1 gun. Glenn has since asked for a trade. So the question all winter has been this: Can the expansion Redblacks afford to tie up that much cash in their three QBs, including former B.C. Lion Thomas DeMarco, when they have a team to piece together? Stay tuned.
5. 'X' Factors
Concordia defensive lineman Quinn Smith saw his stock skyrocket when he finished fourth in the final CFL Scouting Bureau rankings. And then he tested positive for a banned substance. How does that affect his status?
Who might be there at No. 20 when the Bombers make their second pick? Look for the Bombers to look for depth and special-teams candidates with the rest of their picks. Whispers around the CFL have a lot of teams, including the Bombers, interested in Montreal defensive back/linebacker Antoine Pruneau -- he could be a safety candidate with Cauchy Muamba released on Monday -- and McGill linebacker Jessie Briggs.

About Beatrice
I have done my PhD research work at the Centre of Immunology of Marseille-Luminy (CIML) and received my PhD in Immunology in 2002 from the University of Aix-Marseille, France. I have identified sets of genes differentially expressed during the development of T lymphocytes in mice and characterised their protein products. I have produced knock-out mice deficient for the coronin-1a gene and we have demonstrated that the actin-binding coronin-1A protein is crucial for the development and activation of T cells. After a post-doc at Institut Pasteur, Paris, I have joined the Hong Kong University-Pasteur Research Centre, first as a post-doc, then as a Research Assistant Professor and leader of the Virus-Host Interactions group.
Since 2003, my research focuses on virus interactions with cellular host factors. My objective is to understand how viruses exploit the cells during early and late stages of the viral life cycle and which restriction mechanisms cells have developed to counteract viral infections. I have developed projects on human coronaviruses, dengue virus and influenza A virus with the objective to identify common and differential pathways used by enveloped viruses during critical stages of their life cycle.
The Virus-Host Interactions group works on:
- the characterization of intracellular trafficking properties of viral structural proteins, their mode of assembly and budding of particles from cellular membranes.
- the identification of novel virus-host interactions mainly through high-throughput genomic scale screenings.
- the identification of the molecular mechanisms responsible for enhancement or restriction of infection by host factors.
The ultimate goal is to identify novel targets for anti-viral strategies.
I joined Brunel University London in August 2011 and continue the research started in Hong Kong. I am Lecturer in Medical Microbiology. Since October 2013, I am Fellow of the Brunel ETC technology platform.

Keryx Should Appreciate As Auryxia's Use And Suitability Grow
Thu, Feb. 19 • KERX • 30 Comments
- Keryx's drug, Auryxia, should become a popular phosphate binder for CKD patients on dialysis.
- Auryxia is likely to get approved in 2016 for an expanded group of kidney patients due to probable efficacy and safety data.
- Nephrologists, patients and dialysis centers are all likely to find multiple benefits to Auryxia, which should drive prescription writing in the coming months and years.
- Aurixia may also eventually get approval for use in treating iron deficiency in these same CKD patients, many of whom require intravenous iron or an alternative supplementation.
Iron Mountain Should Outperform REIT Peers In 2015
Sat, Jan. 10 • IRM • 7 Comments
- Iron Mountain Converted to a REIT in mid-2014, after receiving IRS approval.
- Iron Mountain's business is perfectly suited to the REIT model, and the business appears likely to increase the dividend in 2015.
- The company is also undervalued compared to other REITs on an AFFO basis, which should cause price appreciation.
Iron Mountain Is Now Cleared For Further Dividend Increases
Nov. 4, 2014 • IRM • 11 Comments
- Iron Mountain converted to a REIT earlier in 2014 and announced a special distribution, composed of stock and cash, to pay out pre-REIT earned income to shareholders.
- Now that the special distribution's share and cash components have been determined and are being distributed, investors, management and analysts have clarity on total share count and float.
- Given Iron Mountain's strong flow of funds and diverse customer base, investors should anticipate a growing dividend over the next several quarters and years.
Merger Arbitrage Carnage May Continue Due To AbbVie/Shire Inversion Fallout
- AbbVie is now suggesting its shareholders vote against the deal to acquire Shire that AbbVie negotiated.
- AbbVie's basis for changing its mind is due to new U.S. changes to treatment of certain types of tax-inversion deals.
- This decision may be indicative of further problems for pending M&A deals with similar inversion characteristics.
Keryx Falls Victim To A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy, Creates Opportunity
Sep. 8, 2014 • KERX • 33 Comments
- On Friday, September 5, Keryx received FDA approval for a kidney drug. That morning, Keryx declined, along with most biotechs, before being halted pending the approval announcement.
- While still halted, AP attributed that the morning decline was due to information from the subsequent approval, and repeatedly reported and disseminated this misinformation.
- The drug is better than existing phosphate binders, and this warning is actually an explanation of a possible benefit that could prevent a patient's regular need for intravenous iron.
John Paulson's Big Q2 Buys
- John Paulson is one of the most well respected and largest hedge fund investors.
- Paulson & Co.'s recent 13F indicates that in the second quarter, the hedge fund mostly stuck to a merger arbitrage strategy.
- This indicates Paulson is sticking to a lower risk strategy and does not see much value available in the market other than through merger arbitrage.
Berkshire's Probable Q3 Strategy For Chicago Bridge & Iron
Aug. 22, 2014 • CBI • 33 Comments
- Chicago Bridge & Iron performed poorly between mid-June and mid-August, following a short thesis publication and the absence of the company's CFO on the Q2 conference call.
- On August 14, Berkshire Hathaway, the company's largest shareholder, reported increasing its stake to 9.89% in Q2. Other funds, such as Appaloosa, Gotham & Point72 also bought shares last quarter.
- If Berkshire acquired more shares on the early-August pre-13F lows, its stake will likely increase over 10% and a filing stating such will come in the next few weeks.
Carl Icahn's Q2 Changes And Recent Filings
Aug. 22, 2014 • IEP • 5 Comments
- Activist Investor Carl Icahn recently reported his holdings as of the end of June.
- The filing indicates most holdings were unchanged, though Icahn did initiate, liquidate, increase and reduce some holdings.
- Icahn has also filed some 13Ds so far in Q3, indicating the selling of some positions and the buying of others. These recent 13Ds are also discussed here.
Warren Buffett's Q2 Changes
Aug. 19, 2014 • BRK.A, BRK.B • 8 Comments
- Berkshire Hathaway released its 13F last week.
- The filing reports that Berkshire added no new equities and sold out of no new equities, but it did increase and reduce multiple already existing positions.
- This is a review of the position increases and decreases listed on the 13F, for use in determining Berkshire's future actions.
Annaly's Book Value Likely To Continue Increasing In The Third Quarter
Aug. 11, 2014 • NLY • 4 Comments
- Annaly just reported Q2 results, and it increased its book value by about 7.5% due to gains in agency-backed RMBSs.
- Annaly reduced its hedging and slightly increased leverage in anticipation of strong agency-backed RMBS performance. The strength continues into Q3, which means the strategy should continue to benefit Annaly.
- Annaly's valuation has underperformed government debt ETFs so far in Q3, despite being leveraged to the rates moving those ETFs up, indicating Annaly's equity needs to catch up.
DISH Should Soon Move To Merge With Sprint Or T-Mobile
Aug. 11, 2014 • DISH • 10 Comments
- Sprint has been attempting to acquire T-Mobile, but just gave up on that endeavor.
- DISH wanted to buy Sprint or its spectrum and such a deal now makes more sense, given AT&T's move to acquire DirecTV.
- Since DISH last attempted to acquire Sprint, DISH's mart valuation has increased by about 65%, indicating it is far more capable of buying Sprint now.
- If DISH cannot work with Sprint, it could move to buy T-Mobile, but a Sprint merger now appears a cheaper and more viable option than ever before for DISH.
Bank Of America Improves Its Prospects By Eliminating Regulatory Headwinds
Aug. 7, 2014 • BAC • 8 Comments
- Bank of America has underperformed its peer big banks in 2014 because of a problematic stress test submission that the Federal Reserve required it to resubmit and the related fallout from it.
- The bank's resubmission was approved, allowing the bank to increase its dividend from $0.01 to $0.05. A forthcoming repurchase plan is also reasonably likely.
- The bank is expected to soon settle its mortgage-backed liability with the Department of Justice, which will remove yet another anchor to share valuation.
Chinese Restricting Of Apple, Microsoft And Symantec Are Harbingers Of Reduced Growth
Aug. 6, 2014 • AAPL, GOOG, MSFT • 11 Comments
- This week, China restricted government purchasing of Symantec and Kaspersky software and Apple's iPads and MacBooks. In May, China similarly restricted Windows 8.
- Chinese technology competition has been formidable within China, with domestic servers eating into U.S. companies' market share and new smartphone manufacturers quickly becoming market leaders.
- Growing Chinese competition and continued government restrictions should reduce many growth estimates for hardware and software makers, and especially those that have become more reliant on China for growth.
Keryx Should Move Substantially In The Next 2 Months
Jul. 30, 2014 • KERX • 57 Comments
- Keryx is a small biotech company with the license to a novel treatment for chronic kidney disease that the FDA is reviewing, with a goal date of September 7th.
- The drug, Zerenex, received Japanese approval earlier this year, and the phase 3 results were very positive, and even published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
- Baupost, a highly respected value investing hedge fund, owns about 10 percent of Keryx equity, all of which it acquired within 2014, indicating it sees value here.
Herbalife Is Too Risky Right Now
Jul. 29, 2014 • HLF • 23 Comments
- Herbalife just reported earnings that disappointed expectations.
- The company repurchased about $1.3 billion in shares in the first half of 2014, and appears unable to continue repurchasing shares at even half that rate going forward.
- Even if the company is eventually vindicated of Ackman's allegations, the next piece of news to affect Herbalife will likely be negative, making the company a questionable investment now.
ViaSat's Network And Technology Make It A Likely Communications Partner
Jul. 28, 2014 • VSAT • 3 Comments
- ViaSat is a mid-cap broadband satellite provider that offers reasonably fast data speeds to rural customers and commercial transporters, such as airlines.
- Data network providers have been consolidating, making ViaSat a possible acquisition target and/or partner.
- ViaSat has significant institutional ownership and a sizable short position, indicating the equity may be volatile upon any forthcoming news.
Chicago Bridge & Iron Suffers From Uncertainty Due To Short Thesis And Sick CFO
Jul. 28, 2014 • CBI • 70 Comments
- Chicago Bridge & Iron fell 10% on Friday, July 25, due to concern over accounting methods and cash flow projections.
- This weakness appears due to a June 17 short report and the absence of the company's CFO on the conference call.
- Chicago Bridge & Iron appears likely to have significant business in the coming years, making any near-term weakness a probable buying opportunity.
Cliffs' Board Still Likely To Be Ousted Next Week, And Q2 Results Don't Help
Jul. 24, 2014 • CLF • 47 Comments
- Cliffs is in the middle of a proxy contest for its board that it should lose, because the board has done a poor job and requires change.
- Cliffs reported a Q2 loss of $2 million, and it spent $4 million on proxy costs, without which it would have had a $2 million profit.
- The annual meeting is next week and Casablanca Capital appears likely to take control of the board.
Iron Mountain Dividend Increase Likely To Follow Q2 Earnings Report
- After receiving IRS approval, Iron Mountain recently converted to a REIT.
- As a REIT, it will pay out around double its prior corporate dividend, if not more, plus a large special dividend in 2014 of mostly stock.
- The company is now scheduled to report Q2 earnings on July 31, at which point, or soon after, it should provide greater clarity on the actual dividend increase.
- IRM is likely to appreciate after formally announcing its new dividend policy and the timing of receipt for the special dividend shares.
Bank Of America's Earnings Are Insufficient To Counter Regulatory And Litigation Uncertainty
Jul. 16, 2014 • BAC • 15 Comments
- Bank of America reported mixed results that included declining revenues and mortgage originations, while fixed income revenue was superior to its peers.
- The bank's probable Department of Justice settlement in the second half of 2014 adds uncertainty, with a likely valuation between $12-17 billion.
- The bank may also suffer from the $4 billion error that forced it to suspend a planned dividend increase and share repurchase plan, which it resubmitted to the Federal Reserve.
Weyerhaeuser Will Likely Increase Its Dividend In 2014
Jul. 10, 2014 • WY • 20 Comments
- Weyerhaeuser just split off its homebuilder, WRECO, in a transaction that reduced the share count by about 10% and added $700 million in cash.
- The remaining company is more focused of forestland, which is an attractive long-term investment with reduced labor costs compared to the now removed homebuilder component.
- The reduction to shares is similar to a instant share buyback, which should make it easy for Weyerhaeuser to increase its dividend. The $700 million will also help.
TRI Pointe Appears Compelling After Absorbing Weyerhaeuser's Homebuilder
Jul. 10, 2014 • TPH • 60 Comments
- TRI Pointe just absorbed Weyerhaeuser's homebuilder, WRECO, and became a substantially larger homebuilder through the transaction.
- TRI Pointe has a heavy short position at least partially due to the transaction, and it is likely that many shorts will cover now that the deal is completed.
- TRI Pointe moved from being a small-cap to a mid-cap, and the larger entity should attract greater interest from index funds and industry-based investments.
MannKind Likely To Appreciate On A Post FDA Approval Short Squeeze
Jun. 30, 2014 • MNKD • 13 Comments
- The FDA approved MannKind's inhaled insulin, Afrezza, late last week.
- Afrezza is the only inhaled insulin available and it is likely to get some market share, and especially from those who want to minimize self-administered injections.
- A significant short position and relative under-ownership by institutions could cause a dramatic short squeeze.
Iron Mountain's Growing Dividend And REIT Status Should Attract Investors
Jun. 30, 2014 • IRM • 10 Comments
- Iron Mountain recently received approval to convert to a REIT, which it is immediately doing.
- The company reported that as a REIT it will be able to pay out around double its prior annual dividend.
- IRM also reported that a large special dividend will occur in the second half of 2014.
- These factors should force shorts to exit and REIT/income investors to buy IRM.
Cliffs' Shareholders Likely To Begin Ousting Its Board Next Month
Jun. 11, 2014 • CLF • 53 Comments
- Cliffs Natural Resources has declined 85% in three years after buying Bloom Lake when iron ore prices peaked, spending over double the company's current market value.
- Activist Casablanca has pushed for change and Cliffs' board of directors has fought it at every step, but the tide is turning.
- Casablanca will likely get two or more board seats at the annual meeting in July. Other activists and shareholders may soon join Casablanca in instigating needed changes at Cliffs.
Should Weyerhaeuser Shareholders Tender For The WRECO/TRI Pointe Spin-Off?
May. 28, 2014 • WY • 41 Comments
- Since Weyerhaeuser became a timber REIT, it has shed itself of non-core assets and is currently shedding its homebuilder, WRECO, in a Reverse Morris Trust with TRI Pointe Homes.
- Weyerhaeuser shareholders can choose to tender shares for the homebuilder or remain invested in WY. Both entities have interesting attributes, making the decision difficult.
- This spin-off is the start of more similar activity by such timber REITs, including the forthcoming spin-off of Rayonier's performance fiber business. M&A activity could bring some parts together.
Hillshire's Pinnacle Buyout Should Pressure Shares And Credit Ratings
May. 20, 2014 • HSH, PF • 5 Comments
- Hillshire Brands recently announced plans to buy Pinnacle Foods for $6.6 billion, merging two mid-cap food companies into one larger entity.
- The deal is expected to have significant synergies, but also comes with significant debt. This debt and the overall price may be too much for what Hillshire will get.
- After Hillshire completes the needed financing and issues probable equity, credit ratings agencies will likely downgrade HSH debt, possibly into junk status.
Seth Klarman's Baupost: Investment Changes During The First Quarter
May. 19, 2014 • BP, FNF, IDIX • 2 Comments
- Seth Klarman is one of the most respected long-term value investors. His hedge fund, Baupost Group, is hugely successful, but not heavily followed by media.
- Klarman continues to accumulate targeted energy, technology and biotech positions in companies where Baupost already holds sizable stakes.
- Baupost's overall equity holdings are sizable compared to the fund's historic allocation, indicating the hedge fund may soon reduce its exposure to U.S. equities.
Mohnish Pabrai's Position Changes During The First Quarter
May. 19, 2014 • BAC, BRK.A, BRK.B • 2 Comments
- Mohnish Pabrai is a respected value investor that has a record of outperforming the market.
- Pabrai's investment fund generally holds very few positions, and often holds stakes for a long period of time, making any changes worth noting.
- Pabrai reduced exposure to large financials, while increasing more defensive positions during Q1 of 2014.
Playing The Puerto Rican Lottery With Doral Financial Shares
May. 16, 2014 • DRL • 61 Comments
- Doral Financial is facing a liquidity crisis due to FDIC requirements that it improve Tier 1 capital.
- Puerto Rico is refusing to honor its promise to pay Doral tax overpayments that it previously agreed to, which further impair the banks capital position.
- Doral is priced for bankruptcy, but has about four months to sell some of its assets. If it can find buyers and get deals approved, shares will dramatically appreciate.
Bill Ackman's Pershing Square - Acquisitions In The First Quarter
May. 16, 2014 • AGN, AIV, HME • 2 Comments
- Bill Ackman's Pershing Square continued to keep the hedge fund's portfolio small and focused.
- Other than the well-publicized Allergan acquisition, Pershing primarily acquired apartment REITs, but also made a large acquisition of a specialty chemical company, Platform Specialty Products.
- Pershing exited two positions: GGP, which it had previously negotiated with Brookfield to exit, and PG.
IBM's Rocky Road Should Keep Investors Wary Of The Company
May. 12, 2014 • IBM • 15 Comments
- IBM's CEO, Virginia "Ginni" Rometty, recently stated that the company is in a rocky time, which is an understatement.
- IBM's business is in trouble due to strong competition in cloud computing and services from companies like Google and Amazon, among others, as well as its declining Chinese business.
- The formidable and well capitalized competition will likely either reduce IBM's market share or its margins, if not both, and neither is good for business.

Brief Synopsis
For the United States and other nations concerned with security in South and Central Asia, one of the most ominous trends has been the growing influence of Jihadist groups in Pakistan which feel obligated to wage holy war against everything that they perceive as non-Islamic. Their objective would be a Pakistani government similar to the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. The danger this would pose to regional stability and U.S. interests is clear. The author assesses Jihadi groups from the framework of a new "Great Game" for influence in Central Asia involving an array of states. He argues that, if this competition leads to increased violence, outside states including the United States could be drawn in. On the other hand, if the region stabilizes, it could provide solid economic and political partners for the United States. A well-designed American strategy, Ahrari contends, might help avoid crises or catastrophe.

It's time again to join with Moore Ford Chrysler in Hartford and Thank A Farmer. The passion for farming begins at such an early age and this video shows that. Let's head out to my favorite farmer's place... Carsyn's.
Take a look as my little farm-girl tells you all about her farm, her donkey, Buttercup, how she calls her cows in, what she knows about growing tobacco and most importantly, her mud-pie patch.
My dog goes nuts at the sound of a passing motorcycle, much less a huge 500 gram grand finale firework going off next door. What about yours? Sadly, lots of pets are lost every 4th of July, because the loud noises and colorful fireworks scare them.
