Who's afraid of September?
With just five days of trading left in the market's bête noire of months, stocks are up about 4%. Last week, share prices muddled about, with stocks finishing slightly lower on the week in mostly quiet trading.
"The market flatlined," says Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist for Parker/Hunter Asset Management, "with investors seemingly waiting for something new to happen to make it go up or down." And nothing much happened.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished at 13,579.47, down just 0.1%, or 14 points, on the week, while the Standard and Poor's 500 index lost 0.4%, or six points, to 1460.15. The Nasdaq Composite dropped four points, or 0.1%, to end at 3179.96. The small-cap Russell 2000 index fell 1% to 855.51.
Considering the hangover the market typically is prone to after Federal Reserve easing moves, the week should be considered a "moral victory," says Paul Nolte, a portfolio manager with Dearborn Partners. It suggests to him that for the near term, at least, equity prices have support around here, with corrections likely short and shallow.
But, Luschini adds, the concern is that last week's action, or lack thereof, also implies the market needs something to respond to in order to move higher, because the fundamentals—U.S. economic growth and corporate profits, for example—are not enough to keep things going.
For now sellers are afraid to step in, due to the Federal Reserve's unabashed support of the stock market. So perhaps the market grinds a little higher on that, though much could depend on third-quarter earnings reports, which begin to be released in a few weeks.
"We have to see a validation in an improvement of fundamentals," Luschini says. The U.S. macroeconomic numbers continue to be lukewarm, with a positive indication here and a negative one there.
To get the market sustainably above the 1,475-1,500 level, for example, he says, "we have to get out of this sloppy phase of economic numbers. Many bulls are making excuses [for weak numbers] that in most other scenarios would be treated negatively."
AS THE U.S. ELECTIONS COME ever closer, with the future dividend-tax policy to be set by the next government, it's time to revisit a situation this column wrote about April 28. We suggested then that the potential for the tax rate to snap back to as high as 43.4% from the current 15% could prompt certain companies to declare a special or one-time dividend.

WHAT'S A STOCK'S VOTING power worth? Shares that don't carry a vote deserve a discount to those that do. But how big a premium should voting shares get when a single group already wields effective control of the company? When the discrepancy is wide, there could be an opportunity.
Shares that fit this bill are the Nasdaq traded American depositary shares of global blood-plasma-products maker Grifols (GRFS), which has a market value near $10 billion. The Spanish firm's American depositary shares have no voting rights (except in dilutive actions) and trade at a more-than-30% discount to the voting A shares ( GRF.Spain grf.mc 0.6499837504062398% Grifols S.A. ADS U.S.: Nasdaq USD30.97 0.2 0.6499837504062398% /Date(1435698000315-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 259960 AFTER HOURS USD30.97 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1200 P/E Ratio 17.860438292964243 Market Cap 12569596539.8261 Dividend Yield 1.0706845334194381% Rev. per Employee 309988 More quote details and news » ), which don't trade here.
For a number of reasons that discount should narrow, says Lee Atzil, a portfolio manager with Pennant Capital, which is exposed to Grifols U.S.-traded ADS through derivatives.
The Grifols family owns about 40% of the A shares, giving it effective control of the company, and rendering the remaining A-share votes less valuable than if ownership was widely distributed.
The U.S. ADS, which closed Friday at $22.92, a 52-week high, trade at a currency-adjusted 32% discount to the A voting-share price of €26.30 ($33.93), though the economic rights are identical.
The growth outlook is attractive for the plasma business, and Grifols should also benefit from extracting big margin gains following its acquisition last year of U.S. rival Talecris Biotherapeutics. That propelled Grifols into the big three globally, along with Baxter International BAX -1.019108280254777% Baxter International Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD69.93 -0.72 -1.019108280254777% /Date(1435698074154-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9678703 AFTER HOURS USD69.977 0.046999999999997 0.06721006721006721% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 266013 P/E Ratio 16.150115473441108 Market Cap 38451547931.2958 Dividend Yield 2.9744029744029743% Rev. per Employee 252955 More quote details and news » (BAX) and Australia's CSL (CMXHF).
The three players control about 60% of the global plasma market, and barriers to entry are substantial, from onerous regulations to high cost of new facilities. Plasma is derived from human blood, then purified into life-saving antibodies like immunoglobulin and various proteins, among other products.
Grifols and Talecris combined lifted sales at a 14% compounded rate from 2005 through 2010. The merged company can grow at or above the industry's 8%-plus rate, the portfolio manager says, and substantial synergies could result.
Company guidance is for $300 million annually in synergies, but Pennant believes management is being conservative and synergies could be more than $400 million on the cost side. Grifols' operating margins, in the mid-20s prior to the acquisition, could equal the mid-30% margins of competitors, he says.
The ADS discount to A shares is driven mainly by three factors: an overhang from the 21% stake held by Cerberus Capital Management, which has been selling down its stake; lower liquidity compared with Class A shares, and more limited voting rights. The first two factors will improve over time as Cerberus exits and liquidity improves, Atzil says.
He argues that the voting discount could fall to a more reasonable discount of 15%, which would mean an ADS price of $28.84, about 25% above the current levels. Additionally, Grifols intends to issue a dividend as it reduces debt, currently about $3.8 billion, perhaps as soon as next year. That too should attract investors, Atzil says.
Grifols' price-to-earnings ratio of 21 times consensus analyst expectations of €1.27 in 2013 isn't cheap, but that has to be compared to its 30% earnings-per-share growth rate, and from a stable business like plasma. Some worry about the Spanish link, but the nation represents only 9% of Grifols' business, and even a default by Spain would probably have little effect on plasma demand there.
The caveats for Grifols are those of almost any high-tech health-care company: product recalls, new viruses, and technical obsolescence.
Pennant's looking for a 20%-plus long-term annual stock return from accelerating industry growth, market-share gains, material merger synergies, strong operating leverage, and a narrowing of the discount to the A shares.
Admittedly, both the ADSs and the A shares have done well this year, along with the market, but the plasma industry outlook, the discount, and the potential improvements make Grifol's business prospects look healthy even at these levels.
INITIAL PUBLIC STOCK OFFERINGS have been sparse for some time now. With fixed-income yields still around record low levels, last week's IPO of Spirit Realty Capital SRC -0.9221311475409836% Spirit Realty Capital Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD9.67 -0.09 -0.9221311475409836% /Date(1435698423778-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 6548294 AFTER HOURS USD9.67 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 36728 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 4308513201.62491 Dividend Yield 7.0320579110651495% Rev. per Employee 8369550 More quote details and news » (SRC), a commercial real-estate investment trust, could be appealing to income seekers.
Granted REIT shares of all kinds have been on a tear, but right from the IPO, Spirit appears to be priced at a sizable and potentially undeserved discount to peers. REITs are attractive to yield seekers because Federal law requires a REIT to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income, allowing it to minimize its tax obligation.
For Spirit shareholders, the expected $1.25-per-share annual payout equates to a robust 8.2% yield. Wednesday its 76 million shares were priced at $15, about where the stock closed Friday, giving it a market capitalization of $1.1 billion.
Formed in 2003, the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based company owns about 1,100 single-tenant, commercial and generally free-standing real-estate facilities, rented primarily to retail, service, and distribution occupants. It derives its revenue from rents, and the tenants, such as Shopko Stores, typically are responsible for maintenance, taxes, and such. Its properties are 98%-occupied and leases average 11 years.
The knocks on Spirit are these: Though it holds property across the country, Shopko represents about 30% of rental income, so there's some exposure to a single tenant. Second, its debt load, $1.9 billion, represents about seven times Spirit's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $260 million. That compares with five times at rival Realty Income O 0.045075501464953795% Realty Income Corp.

Yet, there are mitigating factors that suggest the discount perhaps shouldn't be so large and eventually could narrow.
Spirit should be able to pursue acquisitions that will diversify its rental base, and Shopko's finances provide adequate coverage for its lease payments, according to Parag Vora, a portfolio manager of HG Vora Capital Management, which owned Spirit secured debt that converted into common shares in the IPO.
Additionally, Spirit has cut its debt by $1.4 billion in the past four years to $1.9 billion at the IPO. While Spirit is more leveraged than its rivals, investors can derive comfort from the stability of the company's rental income.
Over time, Vora adds, as the company continues to deleverage and maintain or raise the dividend, investors will become more familiar with the story and the discount to peers should narrow. While some of discount is warranted, the current differential of three percentage points seems overdone, he says.
Spirit trades at an 8.9% capitalization rate, compared with about 6% at peers. (The capitalization rate, or net operating income divided by enterprise value, is a standard REIT valuation metric). That roughly three-percentage-point capitalization-rate differential should be more like 1.5 or two points, he says.
"The high dividend yield should provide a floor to the stock," says Vora, who thinks the stock could trade up to $19 per share, implying 25% upside, excluding the dividend.

Case study for Leading Practice publication School name: Poole Grammar School School contact and email: Sue Hancock e: firstname.lastname@example.com Brief school context Poole Grammar School (PGS) is a selective boys' school, taking approximately the top 16% based on NFER cognitive ability tests (CATs). Tracking underperformance at all levels has been a keen focus for many years, supported by a comprehensive intervention policy. Our data-rich analyses have often shown a trend in low performance in Literacy amongst many of our gifted mathematicians. Historical evidence over the last four years has shown that up to 25% of boys would not have 'passed' the entrance exam if their scores had been judged solely on their literacy performances: Their aggregate score and high performance in the Maths paper are the reasons for their successful entry. Further investigation of performances in KS2 English has supported this diagnosis. Many of these gifted mathematicians have scored poorly in their writing and / or reading papers. In addition, teacher assessments in speaking and listening are often low. In contrast, these pupils have scored top level 5s in their KS2 Maths papers. (This area of analysis needs further research). As a specialist school for Maths and ICT, high achievers in these subjects need to be encouraged and accommodated in order to fulfil our Mission for the SSAT. However, we must not lose sight of the fact that Literacy impacts on the whole curriculum and these gifted students need to be supported in these areas, too. What are we trying to achieve? The question we asked ourselves was 'Why do some boys, with highly developed mathematical cognitive skills, experience difficulties in a literacy learning environment?' A team was set up to research the above. This team would, in the first instance, consist of the following: The AST in Maths The SEN Diagnostic Expert The project was managed by our AST Maths and overviewed by the Assistant Head (assessment and Progress). The research project involved the following: Identification of boys in Year 8, 2008 who achieved high performances in Maths in the entrance test, but poor performances in Literacy. Cross-reference these pupils with their performances at KS2 in Maths and English Analyse the data at KS2 to ascertain whether or not there are any further anomalies. Consult with form tutors and subject staff to gain further insight into the emotional behaviour Case study template Oct 2010 and academic performances of the identified pupils Set up an interview with these pupils with our SEN diagnostic expert to establish whether or not there are any obvious learning difficulties which may be impeding progress, e.g. dyslexia / dyspraxia Visit a partner school which takes pupils with special needs (Montacute Beacon School for SEN pupils) to discuss teaching / learning strategies As many of the pupils in this research project may have autistic tendencies, another area to consider would be to set up a visit / observation / consult expert teachers at an autistic specialist school to discuss teaching and learning strategies specific to autistic children Identify learning strategies used by these pupils in maths and observe / track the learning processes of the pilot group of pupils across the curriculum. The expectation was that the project would guide us in developing effective strategies which teachers may be able to develop for students and therefore help improve Literacy skills across the whole curriculum. What did we do? Identify up to 5 key actions. THE SAMPLE 10 boys were selected for this survey. The criteria used were their performance at KS2 Maths and their Entrance Exam scores compared to their Entrance Exam English performances. In essence, those students who are very good at Mathematics but who have a lower level of Literacy skill in comparison. There were several students who fit into this category and were receiving AEN support. We asked an Educational Psychologist discussed the survey with their parents and interviewed each student. The information was used for guidance during lesson observations. Throughout the project students, parents and carers were regularly consulted through pupil discussion, and parental consultation What difference did we make? What was the impact? Did we meet our objectives? Yes. The group was tested at KS3 and all made at least 1.5 levels progress at KS3. With the exception of one, there was parity between both reading and writing scores and their scores were in line with the cohort. It was especially rewarding to note how well they did in the writing section. Impact on pupils – achievement and participation Two of these students have won National Poetry prizes (2010) and were invited to read out their poems at the opening of our new Learning Resource Centre in front of VIPs and the famous Oscar winner Julian Fellowes, DL. Impact on partner schools Our strategies have been shared with both partner schools and 6 other grammar schools. Also, Case study template Oct 2010 support has been given in many local schools. In September 2009 we held a CPD event for school staff the aim being to discuss the findings from the project and decide how we could begin to embed new strategies to support to support weak literacy skills in lessons across the whole school. Why students who are able in maths but poorer in literacy find language based lessons difficult: Too much information has to be processed/held in short-term memory at once and the student becomes cognitively overloaded and is unable to process the learning There is no set process/clear methods/stages to follow which leads to confusion Language based subjects are subjective there is no definite right/wrong answer The meaning of language changes and the student may not always 'see' the intended meaning Implied meaning/opinion is difficult to understand Expanding/embellishing is hard often they can only write very briefly and are not able to 'pad' out with extra words They have difficulty translating their ideas into words The wording of questions often makes it difficult for them to understand what they are being asked Examples are difficult to follow The small number of questions in exams means that they have to do well in each question Although able students may have developed effective learning strategies in maths, they are not likely to be able to automatically transfer these or adopt compensatory strategies in other subjects. General strategies to support in lessons 1. Allow adequate processing time/don't expect students to process more than one thing at once – allow time for questions, discussion and reflection, don't expect a student to listen and make notes at the same time, stop students from carrying on working whilst the class are giving feedback from an activity. 2. Reduce the literacy content of lessons, particularly reading and note taking from text books, include more practical activities and role play. 3. Include a range of short activities in lessons and use visual timers for activities. Case study template Oct 2010 4. Include group/partnered work – as this can help with the generation of ideas. 5. Allow students to give verbal presentations – encourage the use of summary cards when giving presentations and allow them time to rehearse before speaking. 6. Support verbal teaching explanations with visual examples. 7. Display key vocabulary in the classroom with pictures together with examples of use in an easily understandable everyday context. 8. Explain new vocabulary by linking it with everyday terms and contextualise it with examples from everyday life. 9. Provide a structure/method that can be followed, for example for essay writing/poem analysis, and display this in the classroom with several examples. 10. Reduce information to a summary table with key themes and supporting words and display this in the classroom. 11. Review previous learning and explain how this links to current lesson. 12. Be explicit about what they are supposed to learn from a lesson/activity. 13. Fully discuss work that has subtle, inferred details. 14. Work explicitly on how simple ideas can be expanded and developed and use lots of examples. 15. Unpick difficult 'questions' and identify key points – and then ask students to reword the questions in simpler terms. 16. Allow students to formulate their own questions. 17. Explicitly teach essay writing skills – ideally starting with simple, everyday content. 18. Encourage students to verbalise and write down explanations – this skill will need to be supported by discussing verbal explanations and also how they can best be recorded in words Case study template Oct 2010 using lots of different examples and contexts. 19. Teach students how to identity key facts from texts, ensure they understand what makes something a key fact and why, use lots of examples. 20. Potentially difficult texts should be verbally summarized and the key points discussed before reading, this will help improve access to the text and subsequent understanding. 21. When summarizing text read, verbally discuss first and then ask students to summarize with closed books. 22. Allow students to make notes on texts/stories/poems directly on to copies of the text, it is much easier if they can see what their notes link to. 23. Use direct and open questioning – (often students with literacy problems will avoid contributing). 24. Get students to respond using whiteboards to ensure that all have to contribute. 25. Used paired discussion so all are involved. 26. For board work – space writing well – use colour/boxes for different aspects of a topic. 27. If using handouts produce them with small well-spaced sections of text, using bullet points, diagrams and pictures. Use an arial or similar font, in at least a size 12. 28. Break down literacy topics into smaller chunks, for example, using writing to argue: To work on 1 technique of writing to argue at a time, such as, a counter argument. As a class brainstorm topics that are relevant to the students' everyday lives and discuss potential arguments. Brainstorm a bank of vocabulary. In groups work on presenting an argument (including counter argument) Groups to then present their arguments verbally and the class debate. Each group then discusses how their argument could best be presented in writing and 1 boy acts as a scribe for the group. The work is typed on a laptop and printed so that all in the group have a copy and there is no need for copying up work.

The Backlog:
In April 2015, legislation was introduced that would require all law enforcement agencies to submit an annual report on the number of sexual assaults occurring each year, including figures on rape kits collected and received. The report would be due on February 15th each year to the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Criminal Justice, and by March 1st of each year, the Commission would present the findings to the Senate Committee Chairman and the House Judiciary Committee Chairman. The bill has passed both the Senate and the House and now awaits the Governor's signature.
In May 2014, a law that requires all law enforcement agencies to conduct an inventory of the untested rape kits in their custody and report the total to the director of the state police crime lab by January 1, 2015 was enacted. The crime lab, in turn, will report to the legislature regarding the statewide findings of the inventory, including the name and contact information for each non-compliant agency, by March 1, 2015.
In March 2015, the Louisiana State Crime Lab reported that the state had a backlog of 1,333 untested rape kits, with roughly one third having sat untested for at least five years. Of the 421 law enforcement agencies in Louisiana, 128 did not send any data regarding their backlog of untested kits.
While this law will allow us to have a more accurate picture of the backlog in Louisiana, the legislature must take additional steps to provide survivors with greater access to justice, including requiring the testing of all rape kits booked into evidence. Take action today to advocate for transparency and change from our elected officials.

In 2010, it was discovered that the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) had a backlog of 830 untested rape kits, some dating back to the '80s and '90s. All of the kits were subsequently tested, along with 178 kits collected from 2010.
In December 2014, 429 untested rape kits were disclosed in a New Orleans City Council hearing that examined shortcomings in NOPD's handling of rapes and child abuse cases.

By: Susan Robbins
Before getting married, most young couples think that marriage will be wonderful, totally romantic and fun! After several months of marriage, the couple finds out that, yes, marriage can be wonderful, romantic and fun…however, marriage may also bring frustrations, misunderstandings and disappointments.
That moment, when you realize your spouse is not as perfect and wonderful as you thought, can be tough. Actually, this is a perfect opportunity to begin to learn what you need to do to maintain a healthy marriage relationship. At this moment, each couple must recommit themselves to their spouse and their relationship. Couples may find the need to recommit themselves to their spouses many times during their marriage. In healthy marriages, couples recommit themselves over and over during the span of their marriage.
Here are 12 ideas to assist you in sustaining a healthy marriage:

Stunning beauty! Thank You
my heart stopped seeing her arching like that
What can I say? Wow
the sword would be more desirable if the girl where doing something to it like licking it or doing some more erotic pose.
hello Saju90 Wow!! love the pose while you holding that sharp sword with the out fit. Beautiful!!
Reportable. Will report when I can.
Report what exactly??
why not? A woman's vagina is the center of her sexuality, and she is so very sexual!! Bonnie
Inaccurate technique for gripping a sword.
A beautiful woman with a lethal weapon makes for a very erotic image, with excellent composition, it looks even more so. Great Job Dan, on Saju!!!

Awesome pose! Terrific work!

So beautiful!
Yeah I ain't going near that without my longsword . . . possibly my maille arm sleeve just in case.

Sexy as hell
Impressive use of light and shadow.
a stunning erotic photo, well done
Love the style, colors, lighting and textures in this image. The pose certainly reinforces your title choice.
That is both beautiful and highly erotic. Love it.
That one photo is great as well. Keep that good job up.
The decision to wear a veil adds just the right air of mystery. Superb!
The glint on the sword is done by burning that spot right? I'm not saying it looks bad, I just want to learn
çok güzel
Menacing and sexy!
