[edit] About Norwich
The 52,1 graticule covers the parts of the United Kingdom from 52° to 53° latitude, and from 1° to 2° longitude. A bit over half, 57% is land. This includes parts of Norfolk and Suffolk with their coastlines.
Most of the terrain is agricultural. Some areas are very flat. Other areas include low rolling hills. This easy terrain, full of public footpaths, is balanced by coastal mud flats and salt marshes which can be tricky to reach. The Norfolk and Suffolk Broads are man-made lakes created by peat digging. They are reached by river or canal.

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Tuesday that his government was in no hurry to reach a deal with the euro zone on its election promises to end to austerity and would not compromise.
Tsipras has turned the argument on its head, wondering how the conservatives could possibly promise to safeguard Greek incomes after imposing a barrage of taxes in the last two years.
Returning after eight-month captivity in Afghanistan, Indian priest Alexis Prem Kumar, today called on External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj here.
Alexis Tsipras said Saturday that a hard-fought deal with European creditors ends austerity, but the "real difficulties" lie ahead.
Statements such as those made by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat questioning the intent behind Mother Teresa's service are politically motivated, Father Alexis Prem Kumar said.
Greece's Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will raise the issue of liquidity at his meetings with top European Union leaders at the margins of this week's summit in Brussels, the government's spokesman said.
Per Mertesacker remains confident Arsenal can overcome north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur this weekend although Alexis Sanchez will be absent from the Gunners' line-up.
Greek PM Alexis Tsipras said that he sought no rift with Europe after his cash-strapped country submitted a list of reforms to its lenders in a bid to secure much-needed funds.

Sometimes more than one Kirby is seen simultaneously. Kirby was split into four separate beings by Dark Meta Knight in Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, and two in The Fofa Factor, by Slice n' Splice. In the Super Smash Bros. series, different players can play as Kirby simultaneously and perform a palette swap (color change) so the characters look different from one another.
Keeby is identical to Kirby apart from color, and has only appeared in Kirby's Dream Course It is not known whether Keeby is Yellow Kirby.
Animal Friends are allies first appearing in Kirby's Dream Land 2 who assist Kirby with puzzle-solving or by making use of his Copy Abilities in certain ways.
First featured in Kirby Super Star, Kirby can forfeit further use of his current Copy Ability by summoning a Helper, which usually has similar abilities.
See Helper article for list of helpers
|Chef Kawasaki
A recurring miniboss character in games and a somewhat slow-witted but insightful ally of Kirby in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, Chef Kawasaki is someone who loves cooking more than anything else, and fights Kirby over a Heart Star as his cooking ingredient. His food in the anime is not particularly commendable; Kawasaki knows it but doesn't show it or seem to mind. Kirby is the only one who enjoys it but the townspeople who complain still eat regardless, as he operates just about the only restaurant in Cappy Town. His frying pan gives Kirby the Cook ablity in several episodes.
Villains are plot-centric characters who go against Kirby.
Demon Beasts are monstrous creatures seen in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, created by Nightmare to take over the known universe.
Nightmare's operations are funded by his sales team including Customer Service, his No.2 and right-hand man, who makes Nightmare Enterprises a hefty profit from selling Demon Beasts to clients for their own needs.
Most of the time, enemies in the Kirby series refers to regular enemies. These are any common characters hostile towards Kirby and have less-than-significant role in the plot.
Enemies by threat: Regular enemy | Large enemy | Mid-boss | Boss | Final Boss
|Waddle Doo
Waddle Doo are cousins of Waddle Dee, but not nearly as harmless. They have the ability to fire beams rapidly from their one eye, and give the Beam Copy Ability with the same effect when used by Kirby. The single Waddle Doo in Kirby: Right Back at Ya! serves as the captain, leader, and interpreter of King Dedede's militia of Waddle Dees.
The Kirby series is not known for its complicated characters, but there are special ones just the same. These are characters who defy classification into straight hero or villain, and can neither be enemy nor friend to Kirby, or appear to be one or the other.
A solitary character and one of few words, he can be friend or foe depending on what he seeks. His plans are as unpredictable as his appearances on the battlefield, which presents a powerful force to be reckoned with. Add in the fact that he zealously guards his true looks and his code of honour, Meta Knight is the character of intrigue that everyone has come to know.
Nova is a giant clockwork comet in Kirby Super Star and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra. He is summoned by the powers of the Dream Fountains and has the power to grant a wish. Who he grants the wish to is not fixed, however, and Marx took advantage of that to wish for control over Dream Land.
Samus Aran is female protagonist and bounty hunter from the Metroid series, and features as a cameo playable character in Kirby's Dream Land 3 and in the Super Smash Bros. series. She asks Kirby to eliminate a group of Metroids in exchange for a Heart Star.

College Basketball: 3 Players Who Seemingly Have Never-Ending Eligibility
3 Players Whose Eligibility is Never-ending
Have you ever watched a college basketball game and thought to yourself, man hasn't this kid played here since folks starting pickling cucumbers? It's a natural feeling these days with the one and done rule. We really don't expect players with a high-level of talent to stick around past their sophomore years. When they do we are in so much shock that it just takes us back.
But it's not even just the superstars we feel this way about. Sometimes a student-athlete will come to a program, immediately start his freshman year, and just float through the lineup for what seems like centuries. We all thought that since he started his first year there that the kid was going to be beyond great. Sadly, he was just an above-average role-player during the early parts of his career but now that he's a senior the man is a beast. He's become 2 different players in a span of 4 years which makes him feel like he's been there that much longer.
Than there's the doppelganger. You know the cat who's replacing the identical style of player that he himself is. It makes sense that this would happen often considering coaches recruit to their playing style. If the coach is looking for a specific type of point guard odds are that they will all look and play pretty similar. The neat thing about the doppelganger is that it rings true in aspects of all life. Right now there is a you in the Newark Airport hating life as you hate yours behind a cubicle listening to your office neighbor play parodies of Gangham Style on the YouFace.
Let's take a look at 3 guys who haven't really over stayed their welcome but sure do feel like it. Here's "3 Guys who've been in College Basketball Forever"...
Isaiah Canaan
Murray State Racer point guard Isaiah Canaan is the best player in the country. Don't believe me, just ask him. Canaan is a senior who saw time as a freshman, scoring 10 points per outing. Last year as a junior his average went up to 19 a game. So he fits the mold of a fellow starting as a role type player and evolving into a man-beast. But the real reason he feels like he's been in college isn't really because of that.
Canaan plays on Murray State, not exactly a national picture-box draw, so I doubt people heard of him before last year. But just hearing him talk makes me feel like this guys been around since Egon Spangler was straightening out his slinky as a child. Oh, it's the ego/hype that's been around forever, not Canaan.
Every year a player's national spotlight starts to bubble up. Remember Joakim Noah getting all that attention going into his sophomore year? If the guy went into the NBA Draft after his freshman year he would have been the number 1 overall pick. Deciding to forgo the draft, and chase down a second national title, the buzz around Noah was insane. And he ate it up. Noah would talk about how great his team was, how it wouldn't affect his draft stock(it did), and just how generally awesome his hair was(still is).
However, when Mr. Noah came to the Florida Gators program the hype surrounding him wasn't as loud. Same could be said about Derek Lilliard, Tyler Hansbrough, Keith Van Horn, or Michael Olowokandi. These guys came to their programs without anyone really noticing until the their last year before they went pro. Not all of their egos were as out of control as Canaan's seems to be but it's the "I've been here for awhile AND NOW I'M AWESOME" guy who's been in college hoops forever.
Tim Hardaway Jr.
Michigan Wolverines guard Tim Hardaway Jr. is only a junior. It shouldn't feel like he's been around forever but it does. And he's the easiest to explain. His father is former NBA basket maker Tim Hardaway. So when Jr. decided to go to Michigan it was kind of a big deal. And Timmy Jr. hasn't been a disappointment averaging over 14 points per game over his first 2 years with the program.
Not only do you factor in the "hype coming in" angle but he's the son of a pretty famous former superstar and their name is identical(until the Jr.). So since 1989 we have heard the name Hardaway used regularly during hoops season. It's only natural to feel like Hardaway Jr. has been around forever because you no longer have the capacity to realize they are 2 different people. I don't blame you, I feel for you.
Peyton Siva
Louisville Cardinals guard Peyton Siva is Louisville Cardinals guard Edgar Sosa circa 2006-10. They are the same player, which in turn, makes them doppelgangers and making Siva feel like he's been around since 2006 when Sosa was a freshman. What I'm trying to say is that Siva has played college basketball for almost a decade.
Siva is not only Sosa's clone(by the evil-doings of Richard Pitino) but he's literally been through a ton of different versions of Louisville teams while playing for the Cardinals. He backed up Sosa as a freshman and nobody really talked about the kid because he played a sparingly 11 minutes a game. But he played just enough, behind just a big enough name player, that you remember him. The problem with that is the Sosa led Cardinals feels like they were playing decades ago, not 5 years ago. It's a brand new Louisville team from that Sosa one with the exception of the eligibility-limitless Siva.
His following 2 seasons Siva's stock skyrocketed as he made key plays in the clutch and won the Big East Most Outstanding Player award for his play in the conference tournament as a junior. Siva is also that no flash all substance player that the Cardinals have seemed to employ at the point guard spot since the first incarnation of the Power Rangers aired(Siva is a Nylock).
Listen, I'm not trying to say these guys or their programs are cheating the system and have actually been there forever. But really, somebody needs to see when their eligibility is up, I heard Lebron James Jr. the III is already being recruited despite not even being a fish in..okay never mind. Talk about a kid who'll feel like he's been there forever.

People are getting a bit loopy in anticipation of the Red Sox' opener on April 5 in Detroit. So, while the coming days will make most of the murkiness increasingly clearer, we can take a moment to clarify some of the hot-button topics hovering around this 10-10 spring training team.
As polarizing as Bobby Valentine can be, whether it be in the media or within his own organization, do you really think that he would engage in a my-way-or-the-highway-type of maneuver with the front office of a team he has only been managing for a few months? The answer is no chance.
Sure, Valentine likes Jose Iglesias. Most could have told you before the first February ground ball was gloved that the manager would be enamored of the slick-fielding shortstop. And there is no doubt he can see the value of putting the youngster at shortstop behind the Red Sox pitching staff. But just because Valentine likes Iglesias doesn't mean he is going to ignore the other decision-makers, most of whom have been charged with monitoring Iglesias' development since he signed with the Sox.
Understand this: Mike Aviles has played in twice the amount of innings (91) as Iglesias this spring (45). That reflects in part on the fact that Iglesias missed a few days with a groin injury, but there's more to it than that. That playing time allocation reaffirms the notion that this decision has always been less about Iglesias -- who has sparkled with the glove and improved with the bat -- and more about Aviles.
Could the former Royal competently handle the position? That was the biggest factor, not even close. That's why you had Aviles playing nine innings of an early March game. And thus far, he has done everything asked. For example, there has been just one Aviles error (.980 fielding percentage) and he has participated in eight double plays.
Also, remember: Aviles is obviously going to be on the team regardless of Iglesias, and if that is the case then why has he played just the one position? If there was a chance that the righty hitter wouldn't be the starting shortstop, don't you think Valentine would have given him some time at third base, second base or outfield? It's not as if the manager has taken a conservative approach to giving a variety of players at least a taste of multiple positions (see Lars Anderson, David Ortiz and Adrian Gonzalez).
This is how it works: When Valentine sits in the room with general manager Ben Cherington and others to decide on the Opening Day roster, ideas will be exchanged and praise will be given. Much of it will surely include the propping up of Iglesias. But even without living through Iglesias' previous two spring trainings, Valentine must know that having a player the likes of Aviles is exactly what an organization needs when attempting to keep a prospect on the right track.
When the Red Sox were analyzing Jonathan Papelbon's foray into starting during the 2007 spring training, it was determined that his third pitch, the curveball, was never going to be good enough to rely on more than a few times an outing. Bard had to show the Sox his third-best offering, the changeup, wasn't in the same classification. Sunday, the righty went a long way in accomplishing that feat.
Bard only threw 10 changeups in his outing against Toronto, a few of which went horribly awry. But for the most part he was not only able to control the pitch, it actually proved to be of swing-and-miss quality. Add in the fact that he was able to use a two-seamer for pitch count purposes, and, despite the five runs allowed, Bard did exhibit the qualities the team was looking for when evaluating the pitcher's ability to start a game.
He got swings and misses on his slider when facing right-handed hitters, got whiffs from lefties when throwing the changeup and ground balls when using the two-seamer. As Valentine noted, Bard looked like a starter. Case closed.
What should be understood if Bard does end up in the rotation is that there are going to be these types of six-inning, five-run outings along the way. When Texas moved C.J. Wilson to the rotation from the bullpen, one of the things that made it work was the lefty's understanding that there were multiple elements that had to be considered if he was to make the change.
Ask the Rangers folks what made Wilson's switch work and they will point to the pitcher's intelligence. Bard is cut from the same cloth.
While many might think the success Bard has enjoyed since 2009 is strictly a product of his 100 mph arm, the fact is that he has adjusted and grown as a pitcher along the way. When he went through his worst slump as a major leaguer during the latter months of '11, it wasn't because he suddenly didn't know what he was doing. That bump in the road was due to an inability to physically keep his arm slot at a high level due to fatigue, causing a three-quarters delivery that, in turn made the plane of his pitches easier for hitters to identify.
And there will be more adjustments. But, even with Alfredo Aceves' electric stuff and extensive pitch-mix, it is Bard who has the best chance to enter into the world of top-of-the-rotation starter. It might take some time, but whether they believe it or not, it's a wait that should be worthwhile.
All kinds of names are being thrown about regarding the possible 25th man on the roster. Players such as Pedro Ciriaco, Josh Kroeger, Nate Spears and Jason Repko are being mentioned as possibilities to fill the final positional spot until Carl Crawford returns. And all could very well be in the mix.
But what has to be considered is the team's 40-man roster situation. And that's where Anderson comes in.
The Sox are at their 40-man limit, meaning a move would have to made if any player signed to a minor league deal (which is the case with all the aforementioned candidates) were to be added to the roster. And while you might not value the futures of a Clayton Mortensen or Luis Exposito, they certainly show enough potential to not be sacrificed off the 40-man just so a player can be added for a couple of weeks.
That leaves the Red Sox with three viable candidates who are position players and on the 40-man: Anderson, Iglesias and Ryan Lavarnway.
Perhaps the team believes it is more valuable for Iglesias or Lavarnway serve as spare parts for a few weeks to start their seasons than it is to have them jump into their life as an everyday minor leaguer right out of the shoot. Iglesias could pinch-run, and Lavarnway could serve as a right-handed bat off the bench. But, considering the desperate need for Iglesias to get as many at-bats as possible, and Valentine's assertion that he will not carry three catchers, and the general sense that Lavarnway could use more time refining his game-calling, neither move seems likely.
Anderson, on the other hand, has left the kind of impression on Valentine this spring that would suggest the first baseman could serve as a viable left-handed-hitting option off the bench. (The 24-year-old is hitting .344 with a .964 OPS this spring.) And add in the fact he has shown some ability to play left field, a position he had manned until his junior year of high school, and the value is subtly increased. And in terms of losing two weeks or so of at-bats to start the season, Anderson isn't as dependent on repetition in the minors as either Iglesias or Lavarnway at this point in his professional career.
Now, regarding the 40-man dilemma …
It should be noted that at least one move will have to be made, assuming Vicente Padilla makes the team. Other possible pitching additions that would require a 40-man transaction would be Doug Mathis or Justin Thomas. The dynamic is also why Michael Bowden has probably shown enough to make the team, with the 25-year-old on the 40-man and out of options.
One maneuver the Red Sox could implement when searching for room that wouldn't require having to potentially jettison a current member of the 40-man roster involves putting Rich Hill and/or Daisuke Matsuzaka on the 60-day disabled list. If the team was to do that it would prevent either pitcher from returning prior to June 5 (the timetable for the 60-man starts on Opening Day), a date before which both were seemingly hoping to return.
If the DL move, or the removal of players from the 40-man, are executed, Ciriaco might have the upper hand considering his performance this spring and versatility. He is hitting .441 with a 1.134 OPS and five stolen bases, and has played outfield in the major leagues.
Every time the manager says anything about any player following a game, it has been dissected and analyzed by those waiting for the Bobby V clubhouse tornado. Too many times, however, there simply hasn't been as much to the comments as many are leading you to believe.
Examples …
Saying Mark Melancon's outing was highlighted by him backing up the bases. The next day, the reliever clarified that he had planted that joke in Valentine's head, so when the manager was asked about the performance it was on the tip of his tongue. The criticism regarding Valentine's execution should be centered around his inability to identify that it was the reliever's joke, not his.
Calling out Iglesias for missing a sign. As much as the manager has praised his young shortstop, it was baffling that people used this as an example of Valentine being too harsh. This was simply an example of how his mind works after games. He is like a golfer going through his round, verbalizing the instant recall he had regarding the actions of the day.
Wanting Bard to throw more changeups. There was nothing wrong with Valentine explaining that he hoped his pitcher threw more changeups, but where the problem came was him not communicating that with Bard prior to explaining that to the media. The next day, the hurler had a perfectly logical explanation for his approach, one that Valentine could have been able to articulate while offering his analysis if a quick dugout conversation was had.
Besides the inevitable uneasiness that comes with change, the only legitimate concern that has emanated from Valentine's style is the potential need for players to constantly answer questions about the manager's off-the-cuff analysis. It might be tolerable now, but over the course of a season it is a responsibility most players don't want added to their days. It was one of the traits of Terry Francona's managing style that his players enjoyed immensely.
The true judgment in how Valentine's managing style will manifest itself in the clubhouse won't come until the first regular-season streak, not after a 10th-inning walk-off loss in Dunedin.

#3 Mar 5, 2013
Good thang he didn't have one of them high capacity ammonition clips, or a bayonet lug, pistol grip, or black plastic hand guard. Someone coulda got hurt.
#4 Mar 5, 2013

too bad he can't buy a gun legally
too bad he didn't learn anything from his previous time served
too bad he is not a law abiding citizen
too bad (for him) the woman probably told him something he didn't want to hear ...like "take a hike"
too bad the tax payers will be supporting him for quite awhile

You are less than clueless. He probably stole the gun. A felon caught with a firearm in the state of Virginia is subject to up to five years in the state penitentiary. Let's hope circuit court judges start doing their jobs for a change and keep the free range democrats off the streets for longer time periods.
I wonder what the court websites have to say about this victim of the police force?

Minnesota's chief administrative law judge has sided with the Department of Natural Resources in a dispute over a research permit for controversial Ely bear researcher Dr. Lynn Rogers.
Last year, the DNR informed Rogers that he wouldn't get a new permit to radio-collar wild bears or videotape them in their dens. Rogers, who was known to hand-feed the animals and gained worldwide attention for webcasting the birth of cubs, had been licensed to do research on wild bears since 1999.
In a decision released Tuesday, Judge Tammy L. Pust said the DNR had cause not to renew Rogers' permit. Her recommendations now go to the DNR, where Commissioner Tom Landwehr has said he'll designate someone who was not involved in the case to make a final decision. That independent reviewer has 90 days to make that decision. Judge Pust is recommending he deny the permit again.
Rogers said he will go to the Minnesota Court of Appeals if the DNR won't restore his permit.
Prust also found that collaring a bear and the intentional repeated handling of a bear also require a permit, contradicting suggestions from Rogers' attorney that no permit is needed for such research. She says Rogers remains free to study and feed bears, but he can't collar them or visit their dens without a permit.
DNR officials testified at a hearing earlier this year that Rogers' practice of hand-feeding bears created a public safety risk, and they questioned the value of his research. Rogers said that while the bears he studies may be habituated to people from feeding, the animals aren't more dangerous.

Exploring the Gulf Coast
We decided to go to Holly Beach. We drove west to Sulphur, then south, and Randy told us stories from his days as a sheriff as we passed by places he used to patrol.
We drove through the Sabine Wildlife Refuge and stopped at an info booth at the Blue Goose Trail Head. There was a mile-long paved path there for wildlife viewing. We walked down the path for a while, and really enjoyed being in the beautiful nature. We saw a rabbit, a bird, ...
Dancing Zydeco in Cajun Country
... new steps more quickly. I even danced this complicated line dance—the trickiest I've ever done. And Gabi did really awesome for his first time dancing zydeco! We also danced his first waltz, which he took in stride, too (ok, bad pun). We happily danced every song until the night ended at around midnight. We took a selfie with Randy's 75 year old friend—his first ever selfie, he said!
First Day in Lake Charles
... saw live crabs in there, and saw the boiling pots and seasoning in the back of the restaurant where they make crawfish boils, crab boils, etc. Cool!
After that we bought Randy some Duck Dynasty PJ's, which he adores, enjoyed yummy pralines (pecan candy), and watched the movie, Ray. It was a great movie, and the performance of the actress who played young Ray's mother made me cry several times.
Leaving the west behind
... 5 over the speed limit, and it was busy and fast. There are a number of other highways and toll roads that come in and out. They paint the numbers on the lanes and a good thing because my head was on a swivel all afternoon. The truckers didn't slow down for a second. If this was a race, then I was 14 the from the bottom, because that's all I passed and not until the end. The other 10000 cars and trucks passed my by and left me in the dust. ...

- The investment firm is sticking with its Buy rating on FDO amid the potential for new action.

Sep. 23, 2014, 8:10 AM
- Halloween spending by consumers in the U.S. is expected to rise to $11.3B this year, according to an estimate from ICSC.
- Discount stores (DG, DLTR, FDO) and grocery stores (KR, SVU, SWY, WMT, TGT) are expected to keep a lion's share of the costume spend with shoppers indicating price and the ability to touch costumes as the biggest factors in deciding where to shop.
- Halloween is one of the few calendar events where online has stayed more of a bit player with only an estimated 7% share of purchases.
Sep. 17, 2014, 9:07 AM
- Family Dollar (NYSE:FDO) recommends shareholders pass on the tender offer of Dollar General (NYSE:DG) as it continues to throw its support behind a merger with Dollar Tree (NASDAQ:DLTR) which it sees as more likely to clear regulatory hurdles.
- The company maintains the $80-per-share offer from Dollar General is "highly conditional" and illusory in nature.
Sep. 12, 2014, 2:02 PM
- Wal-Mart (WMT -0.5%) plans to rebrand all of its Express stores to Neighborhood Market in a move that signals a stronger push into grocery.
- The new strategy means that Neighborhood Market stores will range in size from 15K to 40K square feet.
- The company is still testing the smaller Walmart To Go and Walmart On Campus concepts.
- What to watch: Though there's plenty of retail chains which could be impacted by Wal-Mart's NM push, Gilford Securities reasons that dollar stores (FDO, DLTR, DG) and drugstores (RAD, CVS, WAG) top the list.
Sep. 10, 2014, 10:50 AM
- Though management at Family Dollar (FDO -0.2%) is nervous about the regulatory risk of merging with Dollar General (DG), institutional and retail investors are likely to focus more on the higher per-share offer offered by Dollar General than Dollar Tree (DLTR -0.1%), say analysts.
- Ready for action: Dollar General says it has buyout funding commitments from Goldman Sachs and Citigroup in its back pocket. The company's tender offer expires on October 8.
- Still in the mix: Dollar Tree could still match the Dollar General offer, although Edward Jones notes the company lacks the firepower of its discounter rival and is a good bet to stand pat.
- Previous: Wal-Mart the wildcard in battle for Family Dollar.
Sep. 10, 2014, 6:29 AM
- Dollar General (NYSE:DG) initiates a tender offer to acquire all the shares of Family Dollar (NYSE:FDO) at $80 per share.
- The tender is set to expire on October 8 unless extended by the company.
- Dollar General reiterates its position that it's confident the merger will pass regulatory review.
- FDO +0.3% to $78.96 premarket.
Sep. 10, 2014, 1:51 AM
- Following the rejection of its second bid for rival Family Dollar (NYSE:FDO), Dollar General (NYSE:DG) is preparing to go hostile, taking its $9.1B offer directly to shareholders.
- Family Dollar rejected Dollar General's bids citing antitrust risks, and wants DG to assume the entire risk of the deal, such as carrying out any divestiture that antitrust regulators ask for.
- While Dollar General believes it has already offered far more divestitures than is necessary, it has not gone as far as Dollar Tree (NASDAQ:DLTR) which has included a commitment to divest as many stores as necessary to clear antitrust hurdles.
Sep. 9, 2014, 9:56 AM
- Though Family Dollar Stores (FDO -0.1%) seems to have some nervous feet over potential regulatory issues if it were to be acquired by Dollar General (DG -0.4%), there's a case to be made that the deal could fly.
- Research from Kantar Research indicates that in some markets 90% of Family Dollar customers also shop at Wal-Mart (WMT -0.4%).
- The data point bolsters the argument that the Bentonville giant should be a consideration by regulators as they examine the competitive implication of a Dollar General-Family Dollar merger.
- Analysts also think Dollar General could flip the anti-competitive argument around to make the case that a DG-FDO combination would cut into Wal-Mart's dominance in many markets.
Sep. 5, 2014, 8:55 AM
- Citing antitrust concerns, the Family Dollar (NYSE:FDO) board rejects Dollar General's (NYSE:DG) latest bid, which came at a 7.4% premium to Dollar Tree's (NASDAQ:DLTR) buyout price.
- "There is a very real and material risk that the transaction proposed by Dollar General would fail to close, after a lengthy and disruptive review process," says Family Dollar boss Howard Levine.
- Family Dollar and Dollar Tree amend their merger agreement, with Dollar Tree committing to divest as many stores as necessary to receive antitrust clearance. The two also accelerate their expectations for closing the deal to as early as the end of November.
- FDO -0.8%, DG -1.4%, DLTR -1.4% premarket
Sep. 3, 2014, 4:23 PM
- Family Dollar Stores Inc. (NYSE:FDO) declares $0.31/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous.
- Forward yield 1.55%
- Payable Oct. 15; for shareholders of record Sept. 15; ex-div Sept. 11.
Sep. 3, 2014, 2:58 PM
- Carl Icahn has unloaded his holdings in Family Dollar (FDO), according to a report from Reuters.
- Sources indicate the activist investor exited his position in the discounter with a profit of close to $200M.
- What to watch: The sale by Icahn leaves a little bit more breathing room in the boardroom at Family Dollar as it considers competing bids from Dollar Tree and Dollar General.
