@zowbaid but thats the story behind cole he's not a hero or he wasn,t he had an experimental bomb go off in his face that turned him into a highly volatile spark plug he's a bike courier and up until the point he realised that if he doesn't work to become stronger the whole world is going to (literally) become his worst nightmare. if it wasn't for that he wished the damn thing never happened to him he wants to be normal he tries to be normal he isn't a hero he is a normal guy in a really odd predicament that if he doesn't go along with then bad S*it is gonna happen
"What happened to his voice?! I liked the old voice better!" Did any of you consider that maybe the previous voice actor wasnt interested? Besides, there's nothing wrong with the new voice, its cool.
@zowbald: the shocker? oh wait..THat's why they didnt give the dude a superhero name
Awesome im soooooo glad they ddint continue to make the new cole with a weird voice an look GOODDD WOHHHOOO l like his new voice too XD
@Deity_Dude I agree with you. Superheros are not meant to use weapons. Only heroes use weapons.
You know how every superhero has a superhero name? Why don't they give Cole one? Like Clark Kent is Superman, Bruce Wayne is Batman and so on. So they need to give Cole a name too...and it can't be inFamous, cuz that's not a name.
good now all we need is for sucker punch to take off that little stick in his hand and we got the old cole back
I still question that sword/staff decision to this day...
yeah!! old cole is back, and not that wannabe-rockstar they wanted to replace insted of Cole ;)...can't wait for this sequel...!!!!

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]
ahaaha brilliant....."walking away, i got the feeling i over done it a little"
cole is definitely back...i'm getting this game
It looks awesome, but i much prefer the old voice actor. During that huge reveal at the end of the original inFamous his voice was so awesome it sent chills down my spine.
I hope you can Change to more Outfit you know like in AC 2
Can you even be the bad guy in this one ????????
I wonder how funny cole's companion while be.
The first game made him famous. This will make him INFAMOUS!
Intersting... were those the first sons then?
everyone stop complaining about the new voice, the old voice actor probably didnt want to come back and do infamous 2, besides who cares its the core game play and storyline that matter
Good, but, the old voice actor would have done it better. ;)
Looks good but i don't see why they changed Cole's voice and appearance. Nothing wrong with him in the first game..
This game will be so great. I hope they add double the content and primarily focuses on gameplay. More gameplay mechanics = win, win.
I hate the new voice actor :cry:.
I WANT THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!! and the voice, its a little better since last cut scene, but still not great
I still wished they'd use the old voice

Use common sense with Census folks
And don't pay in advance for other services
CORPUS CHRISTI - If U.S. Census Bureau workers knock at your door, be cautious; and if you pay for goods or services in advance, knock it off.
More than 140,000 workers nationwide will soon try to count everyone — detailing names, addresses, ages, gender, race and other relevant data — in the 2010 U.S. Census.
"Ten questions and 10 minutes is all it's going to take you," said Avangelina Chapa, Corpus Christi specialist with U.S. Census Bureau. Only people who don't return a questionnaire, being mailed to homes on March 17, will have a Census worker knock at their door, Chapa said. But if one does, make sure it's a Census worker, not a con artist trying to steal your identity.
Better Business Bureau advises not to let anyone inside and never give out your Social Security number, credit card or banking information. Census workers will have a federal identification badge, hand-held information device and a confidentiality notice. They will not solicit donations or contact you by e-mail, Chapa said. So watch for Census scams online that ask you to click on a link or open an e-mail.
Information: www.census.gov or 866-861-2010.
Pay in advance and you may lose money
Betty Miller, 78, of Odem charged $1,494 on her Visa in July to pay in advance for upholstery work, she said.
She felt safe with Sara's Upholstery in the 1300 block of South Staples Street, which had been in business since 1952. Michael Alvarez and his wife, Maria, have run his mother's business for years. Last time Miller spoke with them was Sept. 25, she said. The business phone was disconnected by December, she said.
Troubleshooter found the business closed last week with paper covering its windows, and the Sinton couple's home phone also was disconnected.
Visa agreed to refund the charge, but Miller still wants to get back her great-grandaughter's children's chase lounge that she gave to the upholstery company.
Another pay-in-advance customer isn't so lucky.
In July, John Brunner, 48, arranged some remodeling with Woodcock Home Improvements, and in August, charged $4,400 on his Visa for materials, he said. The company in the 5600 block of Leopard Street has listings for six different services in the phone book, all with the same phone number. It's no longer being answered and is not accepting messages.
Troubleshooter referred Brunner to Dispute Resolution Services, a free Nueces County service that tries to set up round-table or phone conferences with all parties to resolve problems.
"Paying upfront is tantamount to financial suicide," said Alan Bligh, executive director of Better Business Bureau in Corpus Christi. Economic times are tough for small businesses, he said.
"Woodcock had a good record," he said. "More small businesses are likely to fail and leave trusting consumers holding empty money bags."

You know, I can't sit here and tell you that I love Valentine's day. I mean…it's ok. I love pink and red and chocolate. Who doesn't love cards? Unique Valentines day gifts are cool. Flowers are nice. Jewelry is pretty. But if I told you I felt especially excited about any of those things, I'd be lying straight to your face. Except for the chocolate…I am excited about chocolate.
My first Valentine's Day with Kelsey was really special. I was on my way back from a trip to visit my best friend in DC and when I walked into the house, there were rose petals shaped like a heart, candles, a bubble bath just for me, chocolate and roses. We went out to a lovely romantic dinner and got dressed up in our nicest clothes. Of course, all this happened about 2 months after we started dating so of course he had something to prove. When the next Valentine's Day rolled around, I let him in on a little secret: I was indifferent to Valentine's Day. From then on, we went to dinner (often the day before as to avoid the crowds, because crowds by-in-large are NOT romantic) and bought a bunch of chocolate the day after and called it a day.
If I cared about Valentine's Day — and I don't — I'd want something cute, customized and special. Unique Valentine's Day gifts are the way to go. For instance, a heart shaped pizza. I'd really enjoy a heart shaped pizza right now, frankly.
Here are a few ideas for some cute, creative Valentine's Day Gifts for your friends, family or kids…or send this to your husband as a casual hint.
Origami Owl Necklaces
I am a big jewelry addict, but I've never seen something quite as unique, lovely and personal as Origami Owl Necklaces. My sorority sis, Jennifer, is an Origami Owl independent consultant and she turned me on to this new (to me) kind of necklace.
Origami Owl has customizable "living lockets" that show off the things you love. You choose the locket type and the charms, gemstones and plates you'd like to go in them. Charms can be added later, sort of like a charm bracelet. I am totally in love with this concept because I believe jewelry that tells a story is the most special jewelry of all. They are totally gorgeous and I'm in love! You can buy them from her store here….stop by and take a look at all the adorable charms for this unique valentines day gift.
Here are a few examples:
Tervis Tumbler
I didn't want anything for my birthday last year because it wasn't a great birthday (32) and I felt like spending the extra cash wasn't really worth it. Kel ended up getting me a Tervis Tumbler and I'm in love. They are unbreakable and keep items hot or cold for hours. They are amazing and I love mine. This Tervis Tumbler has cute heart designs and it's perfect for Valentine's Day. As a plus? It can be toted around all day so that person knows how much you love them. Buy it here for 30% off regular price!
Photo Fleece Blanket
I got the email for this next one and was just blown away. York Photo has this adorable personalized fleece blanket for only $20 — plus, you get 40 free prints along with your order. The lightweight poly-fiber fleece blanket is 40X60″, is machine washable. Why wear a Snuggie when you can WRAP UP IN PICTURES OF YOUR KIDS!? Simply precious. Here's just one example:
York Photo lets you design your own or use free templates.
Buy it here for more than 56% off regular price + free prints
Tell me, what are your unique valentines day gift ideas? Leave em here!

You might think that laypeople are hard to convince when it comes to talking about climate change and related phenomena, like ocean acidification, but in fact, they're often more in-tune with these issues than the researchers who talk about the issue at big conferences. That's because they can see the real-world effects in action. Take people who work with shellfish, for example, including those who dig wild clams, harvest shellfish from wild beds and manage oyster farms and similar facilities. In recent years, they've been noticing a number of problems with their precious shelled cash cows, and all of those problems trace back to one thing: ocean acidification.
What exactly is ocean acidification? As carbon dioxide, much of it from human sources, builds up in the atmosphere, it eventually dissolves into waterways. Once it reaches the water, a chemical reaction takes place, causing the water to become more acidic. Some researchers refer to this phenomenon as "the other CO2 problem," contrasting it with global warming, caused by the carbon dioxide that remains in the atmosphere.
In the wild, organisms known as calcifiers, which use calcium carbonate in their shells and skeletons (think shellfish and corals) rely on a very specific and stable ocean pH of around 8.2. When the pH drops, they have trouble forming shell matter, and can develop problems like weak or crushed shells. Larvae may never fully develop, and others can be vulnerable to infection and disease. In some cases, marine organisms are actually dissolving in corrosive water. Coral dieoffs have been observed in several regions of the world, as have problems with shellfish, a potentially serious commercial as well as environmental issue.
Shellfish, after all, play a vital role in the ocean environment. Many filter and clean water, making it safer for other organisms by sequestering toxins. They can filter nitrogen out of the water, addressing nitrogen pollution caused by humans, and of course they're a tasty food source for numerous other ocean organisms. Researchers view them as a keystone species. If their numbers dwindle, that's an indicator that something is very wrong, and that things could go much worse.
For people who rely on shellfish for an income, the need for a fix for these issues is critical. Today, they're using techniques like controlling water flows, monitoring conditions carefully and adding components to the water on shellfish farms to help their charges grow and develop to full size. But pros recognize the problem is much larger than this, and if we don't find a fix soon, their way of life is likely to disappear.
Already, the ocean's pH has dropped to around 8.1 on average, which is a significant change. By 2100, it could be as low as 7.8 worldwide, and life as we know it in the world's oceans could be changed forever. That's terrible news, because the oceans are incredibly complex and diverse, and we rely on them to sustain life on Earth far more than we may realize. Many industry professionals, consequently, have joined with scientists to raise awareness about acidification and related issues, and to search for a way to combat the problem before it's too late.
In a race against time to save our oceans, will they succeed?

Very scary. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for sharing
We must do everything we can to save the planet. I have managed to reduce our energy usage by 23% in 2 years because it comes from coal fired power plants. I have been the energy police in our home and made changes to accomplish the reduction. However, the planetary changes according to scientists are more severe than they even realized as seen in the shrinking glaciers. I fear for our babies future, and I am afraid the dying shellfish, the Great Barrier Reef, and the extinction of so many animals is equal to the canary in the coal mine. My hair is on fire, so I sign, post, tweet, and email as many petitions as I can every day.
US Navy sponsors Algae Systems engineering R&D to get their already carbon-negative bio-diesel cost-competitive with petroleum. They expect to get there in 2020. The sooner the better.
Our role as humans, in the deterioration of planetary conditions. We can agree with it or deny it. The fact remains there is documented and measurable degradation, and it's getting worse. Does it really matter who did it? Rather than bicker over that, let's rather put our talents together and try to improve the situation. For all the planet's creatures.

Pearson and the Eminata Group Launch North America's Largest iPad-Based eTextbooks Initiative for Postsecondary Institutions
From the press release:
Pearson, the world's leading learning company, and the Eminata Group, Canada's largest provider of independent, post-secondary education, today announced that students at institutions under the Eminata umbrella will receive all of their course content via the Apple iPad. The agreement is the largest postsecondary institutional initiative for iPad-based eTextbooks in North America.
Beginning September 1, 2011, students at CDI College, Vancouver Career College and Reeves College will begin receiving all of their course content via Pearson's eText for iPad app. Hundreds of Pearson textbooks will be delivered in the eText for iPad platform, Pearson's premier electronic book technology.
The iPad-based eTextbooks are currently being piloted at CDI College in Calgary North and Vancouver Career College in Coquitlam in the Accounting and Payroll Administration program. Over the next three years, all programs will be converted to digital delivery to meet the diverse needs of students inside and outside the classroom.
Pearson's eText for iPad app presents digital content in the same high resolution as on a computer, even when pages are zoomed, and displays perfect fidelity to the print book. Students can easily add their own personalization (notes, highlights, bookmarks) while working on their iPads and then access it later on their Mac or PC.
In fiscal year of 2012 the Eminata Group will serve more than 14,000 enrollments at 38 campuses in 22 cities across Canada, offering comprehensive programs in business, health care, technology, and art and design.
"We are committed to increasing access to flexible, affordable learning opportunities with programs and services proven to improve student achievement and retention," said Don Kilburn, CEO of Pearson Learning Solutions. "Our collaboration with the Eminata Group leverages the iPad's ability to provide students with a more interactive learning experience, so they realize their full academic potential and move into rewarding, successful careers."
"Our students will benefit from an enhanced learning experience, in which they can access course curriculum, learning tools, and Pearson's eTextbooks from the iPad platform. Through cutting-edge technology, our students can take their experiences into the workforce with ease and our instructors can develop new ways of incorporating technology into the classroom," said Randy Cox, President and CEO of the Eminata Group.

Thomas Cranmer
Thomas Cranmer as played by Hans Matheson
| Born July 2nd, 1489 - executed March 21st, 1556
by the order of Queen Mary I
Character's backstory:
Cranmer was born in Nottinghamshire, began studying at Cambridge in 1503, and married upon graduating. When his wife died within a year, however, he returned to Cambridge and was ordained a priest. In 1520 he began meeting with other Cambridge scholars whom Lutheran winds blowing across the North Sea informed and invigorated. "Little Germany", as the group was called, had within it many who would subsequently become leaders in the English Reformation -- and pay dearly for it.
For two years King Henry VIII had wanted to divorce Queen Katherine of Aragon on account of her "failure" to provide him with a male heir. Cranmer was consulted. He concluded that scripture, the church fathers, and church councils concurred that Henry was unlawfully married. (Katherine was prievouisly married to Henry's brother, Prince Arthur.)
By January, 1533, Henry was desperate for a divorce, if only because the woman he wanted to marry next, Anne Boleyn, was already pregnant. Since the Archbishop had died, Henry appointed Cranmer, assuming Cranmer to be a supporter. Cranmer pronounced Henry's marriage to Catherine void and that to Anne (they had meanwhile been married secretly) valid.
Like Cromwell, Cranmer benefited directly from the fall of Queen Katherine of Aragon and the Imperial alliance and the rise of Anne Boleyn and her Norfolk relations. Henry's midlife crisis provided fertile ground for ambitious men. Cranmer and Cromwell liked one another and became friends, though Cranmer was careful to distance himself once Cromwell's ruin was assured.
Gentility: Lesser Gentry
Position: Archdeacon of Taunton, First Protestant Archbishop of Canterbury
Personality type: His native brilliance and his unrelenting diligence saw him acclaimed a theologian of immense learning.
He was deeply religious but not psychologically resilient.
Signature look: clerical robes
Endearing trait(s): although considered to be somewhat of a ditherer, he was a heroic defender of the reformed Christian faith. He helped translate and reform the faith and worship of the English speaking world, recalling it to a simpler more direct proclamation of Christ and the Gospel.
Annoying trait(s): concerned almost entirely with his own self-interest and self-preservation; is willing to break with principles or betray friends to stay alive or in power.

2nd wife - Margaret Osiander*, the niece of a Lutheran reformer, Andreas Osiander
*NB. In his book "Thomas Cranmer: A Life" Historian Diarmaid MacCulloch raises, only to dismiss, the rumour that Cranmer's wife was kept in a box. However he does say that Margaret, the second Mrs. Cranmer, must have lived in England so secretly that even her husband's most bitter opponents never learned of her existence. Thus perhaps the box was used as symbolic of that fact.

Thread started: May 8 2009, 11:34 PM EDT Watch
Did Crammer lie to Anne, and tell her if she sign the annulment papers , that she will sent to a convent in Antwerp ? or was Crammer lied to, and told that Anne would be sent to convent in Antwerp? Why Antwerp? Antwerp was the Emperor's territory, where William Tyndale, translator of the Bible, had been burned alive the year before Anne's fall. Why would anyone suggest Antwerp as a destination to her and why would she be comforted by it? Did Anne think that the Emperor had forgiven her, after all she did think that Spanish Ambassador was favoring her, when he bow to her in church.

What a difference a couple of weeks cam make. The hospital had some money come in and can make payroll. The operating room has been brought up to spec and all deficiencies corrected. As soon as the state gives the word, the OR will be back in business.
How important is the operating room to the overall financial well being of the hospital? According to the CFO, the operating room brings in an average of $250,000.00 per month. The OR has been closed for 4 months. It was stated that this was the main reason for the $800,000.00 shortfall last year.
A major problem that the hospital has is 'bad debt,' which is money owed to the hospital. Should the hospital be tougher on bad debt? Do we need a case manager to spec

As a child the nativity story filled my imagination at Christmas. Santa Claus was good for bringing presents, but the story of Jesus and the nativity filled my imagination with wonder. The thought of a star leading three wise men to Jesus amazed me. I remember my Mum telling me that the first star to appear in the night sky on Christmas Eve was the same star that guided the wise men from the east. Even as a 37 year old, each Christmas I look for this light. Each Christmas the childlike part of me imagines it to be the star that guided these men to Jesus.
The season of Epiphany is upon us. Our texts bring to a close our reflections on Christmas and usher us into Epiphany. They remind us once again that God has begun a new thing in the sending of His Son. It is a new day and a new light has begun to shine. Epiphany is a season in which we are reminded of the light of God's love that has arisen upon us in the birth of Jesus. At the heart of Epiphany is Jesus – The star that has arisen to guide the wise men also guides us. Isaiah begins,
"Arise and shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord rises upon you"
A New Year has arisen upon us. As you look back over the past 12 months what do you see? Was it a year of joy and celebration or hope and despair? I suspect it was, like most years, a little of both.
Each New Year gives us an opportunity to reflect upon and give thanks for the year that has passed. Some years bring joy and celebration, while others more despair and hope. Some years are like spring, full of new life and growth, while others are like a long dark winter.
Each New Year finds us at the edge of the unknown. A new year is dawning. What lies ahead?
"Arise and shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord rises upon you"
What a jubilant way to begin a New Year – To hear the word of the Lord that a new day has dawned, a light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! But maybe you're not a morning person. Maybe, like many, you take a little while to embrace the new day! Nevertheless the people in darkness have seen a great light! Maybe it is time, as the Message reminds us, to take our heads out from underneath the covers to see what this new day offers!
Chapter 60 of Isaiah finds the people of God scattered among the nations. It is, both politically and spiritually, a dark time in deed. There is amongst God's people an overwhelming sense of hopelessness and despair. Living in Exile they live in hope of a new day when God will call them back home. A time when God will set their world to rights.
The good news about to be proclaimed by Isaiah is that a new day is dawning. The morning light is rising above the hills.
'Arise and shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord rises upon you'
The word of God to Israel is hopeful. A new day is dawning. The day of despair and lethargy has passed, says Walter Brueggemann, it is time for hope and buoyancy. Although a great darkness covers the land the Lord rises upon his people. However, the imperative is upon the people of God to look up from underneath the covers so to speak, "Lift up your eyes and look about you – See what God is doing".
See what God is doing. When was the last time you or I saw what God was doing? It is easy, as I found, to see what God isn't doing. But it takes faith and trust to see what God is doing. As you look around the world do you see what God is or isn't doing? As you reflect on the year just gone, what do you see?
When one has been surrounded by darkness for so long it can be hard to trust that God is at work. We may even treat the promise of new light with sarcasm. It is easy to lose hope, and to lose it quickly. The New Year's resolutions barely last the week and we are back to despair and hopelessness. The hope we had for this New Year, a new us, a new world, evaporates as quickly as we uttered the words.
Is it any surprise when we place our trust in ourselves and not in God? A new year can only bring new hope when it is placed in the hands of God. When we decide to trust him to bring forth light instead of trying to continually turn on lights all the time. Hope is born out of trust and obedience.
One of the things I have been reflecting on over the Christmas New Year period is how each New Year brings with it the unknown. We can make all the plans we wish – a trip here, a visit there, a new job, changes in the home – but each year we have to face the unknown. We have no control over what might happen in 2014. By in large each year is a mystery. Each New Year we are called upon to trust God. We don't know what lies ahead. There is much we cannot control. But what we can do is follow the star to the one in whom we can trust.
The only hope we have is that which is in God. Our hope for the New Year is not in our ability to resolve a change in our lives (this is another form of idolatry) but in the God who has shined upon us. So I say to each one of us this morning, "Arise and shine for your light has come and the Glory of the Lord arises upon you!" Now get out of bed and embrace this new year!

The model portfolio is composed of international investments and is priced in US dollars. All foreign currency holdings are converted to US dollars, based upon closing currency valuations as of the date of publication. Views are solely that of the author, and will differ materially from conventional analysts as well as the investing public at large. The purpose of the model portfolio is to monitor performance of investments written about in this blog, and is not to be construed as research. The blog is written for entertainment purposes only, and does not represent investment advice in any way, shape or form. Always consult an advisor prior to engaging in any investment activity.
The Blog Model Portfolio is today adding to the positions of Grupo Aeroporturio Del Sureste (ASR-NYSE, $81.44), Novo-Nordisk (NVO-NYSE, $148.73) and Mastercard (MA-NYSE, $446.54).
Earnings season has largely finished, and the fiscal results from many companies in the portfolio were strong.
Of the 415 companies in the S&P 500 index reporting results, 67.5 percent have exceeded estimates, according to Thomson Reuters data through Friday morning, May 4th,2012.
Grupo Aeroportuario Del Sureste (ASR) reported a record fiscal quarter. Year over year earnings were up by a whoppiing 28.9%, on a revenue increase of almost 21%. EBITDA charged ahead by 22.4% year over year; margins exceeded 64.4% of revenues. The net, after tax profit margin earned in the first quarter of 2012 was 41.8% of sales.
A pending travel catalyst will be evident in the Cancun region of Mexico by late 2012.
In 2011, the Cancun International Airport served 13,022,500 passengers, or 35,678 persons per day.
Late in the 3rd quarter of 2012, the world's premiere business to business mall, Dragon Mart, will be opening their second global facility in the Puerto Morelos region of the Yucatan peninsula. Located strategically within miles of the Cancun International Airport and directly across the main highway from the port itself, the mall should draw businessmen from across the Caribbean, China, South and Central America as well as from within Mexico.
Dragon Mart Cancun is being patterned on the highly successful Dragon Mart Dubai, a destination mall that draws about 52,000 visitors per day; these are a combination of tourists who travel to shop and businessmen who specifically fly in from around the world to evaluate samples and negotiate bulk purchases that are drop shipped from China. In the case of high value light weight items, these would typically come in via air; in the case of heavier items, they would come in by sea.
This looks to be as important a development as I have identified in many years.
Seldom does a notable secular trend (the increase in global tourism based upon rising global incomes) coincide with a company specific development; it is even more rare for several trends to converge on a company that already generates monopoly profits. This certainly appears to be the case for ASR.
Some investors, taking into consideration the size and scope of the project, are undoubtedly skeptical that such a development is not already factored into the current price of ASR shares.
I disagree. Having gently probed sources throughout the investment industry globally, I have not yet heard of a single analyst that has taken this into account, or in fact even made private investors aware of the development. As evidence of my contrarian view, I wish to point out the story of AsiaMart Bahamas, a privately proposed, unlicensed, and as yet unfunded, business to business mall project in Freeport that has not evidently formally lined up tenants; the project backers announced as recently as April 4th 2012 that they intended to be the first Asian business to business mall of its kind in the western hemisphere, with a potential opening date of 2015. This boast was put forth in a press release recently published in the Bahamas.
One can only imagine the shock, dismay and profound disappointment felt by the principals of AsiaMart in learning, through a blog of all sources, that their much vaunted $200 million dollar proposal (a pittance for the scope of the b2b markets) was not to be a first mover. In fact, should AsiaMart ever get off the ground, it will be more than 3 years late (a lifetime in business), will feature fewer than than 1/4 the number of Chinese vendors that will be serving the b2b market as will DragonMart Cancun, and are investing less than 8% of the capital that will initially be put into Dragon Mart by the Chinese government and the Mexican governments combined.
One of the principals of the Asiamart project actually took the time to stammer out a retort to Forbes in the commentary section; the tone projected a total and utter unfamiliarity of the Dragon Mart project. In his dismissive paragraph, the respondant actually seemed to indicate a lack of awareness that Puerto Morelos (Puerto is the spanish word for port) does, in fact, contain a port.
For potential competitors to blithely presume that the combined governments of Mexico and China (the world's #1 exporter of goods) don't have a clue about logistics, represents hubris of the highest degree. It goes without saying that loss of first mover status by more than 3 years, in a competitive world, cannot be put into words.
So, for those efficient market theorists that believe that all public information is fully integrated into a share price, I beg to differ.
There is no substitute for research, and I am intolerant of those who are unwilling to perform research. Even those whose sole occupation is to be in the know are sometimes unaware of their competition. Proponents of a competing project with capital plans in the $200 million range, lying within just a few hundred miles of Cancun were, evidently until last week, unaware as to the existence, size and capital plans of Dragon Mart Cancun; one cannot help but think that the bulk of global investors and most analysts are also equally in the dark.
Qui Bono (Who Benefits) from keeping Dragon Mart under wraps?
There are certainly locals and connected individuals within Mexico and China who have modelled the impact of Dragon Mart Cancun into the Yucatan Peninsula.
If I was a real estate speculator, as one example, my objective would be to keep things quiet for the purposes of buying up as much raw land in the vicinity as possible.
If I was less than scrupulous, I might even try to put forth negative views in the Yucatan pensinsula region on various boards. Suggestions that Dragon Mart might somehow be bad for the local economy and will have a deleterious effect on local business could serve to cap real estate prices, during the quiet accumulation stage.
It should be noted that in Dubai, where the first Dragon Mart was built, the price of properties adjacent to the Dragon Mart in the city increased by 500 times prices paid in 2004.
Part of the relative lack of press pertaining to Dragon Mart may be due to a cultural reluctance of the Chinese to adopt the western style practise of boasting about ongoing business.
Western society has developed a terrible propensity to both hand out and expect "attaboys" for activities that are nothing more than part and parcel of daily business. In North America, a development of 5.6 km (the size of the Dragon Mart Cancun) would have a soil turning ceremony covered by dozens of media outlets, all flown in on the developer's dime. Each and every minor piece of work would be trumpeted loudly to the press so as to maintain a heady flow of positive news for terriifed bankers and impatient backers. The simple paving of roads would be touted as the next lunar landing. Even human interest stories would be circulated in the region, to talk about the benefits of the development to all, for the purpose of placating opponents. Such efforts to feed an insatiable news cycle involves the spending, in many cases, of millions of dollars.
The China business model considers all of this PR to be superfluous and a diversion of valuable resources away from the task at hand. I concur. Flying in press is a frightful waste of capital and an exceptionally poor allocation of human resource; a manager who is forced to shuttle reporters around a work site could be doing something far more productive to advance the project to completion.
In the case of Dragon Mart Cancun, a minor announcement was made indicating the site was selected; a completion date was indicated. The work is underway at present. When the work is completed and the mall is open for business, that's when you and I will hear about it again.
I've modelled just a small slice of the fiscal potential of DragonMart Cancun into my ASR forecast for 2013.
Some appear unable to comprehend the absolute profitability of ASR; let me try to add context. Grupo Aeroportuario Del Sureste, based upon net profits generated as a percentage of revenue, is currently the world's most profitable airport operator.
ASR generated a NET PROFIT, AFTER TAX, equal to 41.8% of sales in the first quarter of 2012. In that same fiscal period, Apple Inc., the world's most widely held and widely respected company, generated a net profit, after tax equal to 29.7% of sales. Apple has a contractor who makes all of the products for sale; it doesn't get any leaner or more efficient a business than that.
ASR generated almost 41% more profit, on every dollar of revenues earned, than did Apple. This is no knock against Apple; the company is great and is growing like a weed. I simply wish to provide a frame of reference in the public markets that investors know well. Apple is well known, highly profitable and generates exceptionally high margins.
My focus is to own lesser known companies, with strong catalysts, that are highly profitable and have superb balance sheets. As a monopoly, ASR does not have to worry about competition. ASR does not have to make substantial expenditures in R&D to come up with the next big thing. ASR DOES make substantial investments in real assets that have historically risen in value over time. Try replicating the Cancun airport in the western hemisphere in today's dollars (2 modern terminals with sufficient jetway capacity to service 25-30 million passengers annually, 2 newish landing strips capable of handing the largest of the Airbus fleet and lots of wholly owned land to expand further) and see if you can come up with a figure less than $3 billion US. Add to that, a further 36 years of contract to operate the airport. Add to that, the scarcity value associated with being the only publicly traded white sand/blue water tourist airport in the world today.
The best catalysts are the ones that a company doesn't have to pay for out of its own capital budget.
ASR will get the benefit of being in the right place, at the right time, when Dragon Mart Cancun opens. As to the potential financial impact of Dragon Mart Cancun for ASR; at a minimum it will be accretive; over the mid term, it could be transformative. I'll talk about it in further detail in Las Vegas.
Mastercard (MA) announced an earnings increase of 24.9% in Q1, on a revenue increase of 17.1%.
A whole series of contract wins commenced generating revenues in the first quarter of 2012. There are some one time costs associated with new contracts. These expenses modestly impacted the growth rates of EBITDA in the first quarter; the market seemed somewhat unimpressed.
Mastercard's international business is considerably greater in size than that of Visa. 66.7% of Mastercard's Gross Dollar Volumes (GDV) were generated outside of the United States. After currency adjustments,60% of MA's first quarter revenues were earned outside of the United States.
As a result, there is more quarterly variability of revenues based upon currency exchange rates; MA uses the US dollar as the fiscal reporting currency and converts all foreign revenues to US dollars. In the quarter that just ended, a fairly steep decline in the Brazilian real served to reduce MA total revenues by 2%.
EBITDA at Mastercard rose by 20% year over year and EBITDA margins topped 59.9% of revenues. For the same period of 2011, EBITDA margins were 58.5%.
Once again, Mastercard's revenue growth surpassed that of the US market favorite, Visa. V's revenue grew by 14.9% in the most recent quarter.
Mastercard's Global GDV grew by 18.3% in the quarter ended 03/31/12. At current rates of growth, Asia will surpass Europe at some point in the 2nd or 3rd quarter ot 2012 to become the second largest revenue market for Mastercard. Early in 2013, Asian revenues earned by Mastercard should exceed that of the United States.
Novo Nordisk (NVO) reported yet another earnings record, in a string of earnings records.
First quarter revenue grew by 13% year over year. EBITDA advanced 16.6% over the same period of 2011. EBITDA margins rose to 39.6% of revenues. Net profits advanced by 15%. As Novo Nordisk continued to use its huge free cash flow to retire shares, net profits per share rose by 18%.
Differing from almost all of the major pharmaceutical manufacturers, the company has no looming cliff of patent expirations to contend with. Revenue growth at NVO has been generated organically for as far back as one cares to look. The company has never felt the need to make dilutive acquisitions to goose up revenues.
Most of the large pharmaceutical companies appear to be under considerable pressure to offset the steep revenue declnes associated with patent expirations. In the case of many of the global pharmaceutical industry titans, the patent cliff in the years 2012-2014 is savage; some of the peer giants may see their revenues fall by 50% unless they can somehow replace the loss of the patent blockbusters.
This patent cliff has produced a response driven by terror; the entire pharma industry has become obsessed with a takeover spree that from afar appears ludicrous. Any smaller company with an FDA approved product, no matter how inconsequential from a potential sales point of view, is being gobbled up at mania prices. This, as with most bubbles, will almost certainly prove destructive to the investment capital of the acquirers at some point.
Novo Nordisk is controlled by the Novo Nordisk foundation, who holds 74% of the voting shares and whose mandate is to ensure a stable flow of dividends for philanthropic purposes. This cautious holder of the control stock gives me great comfort that NVO's managers, no matter how crazed the entire industry becomes, will not be able to easily make any wealth destroying purchases in the years ahead.
Standing almost alone among the giant pharmaceutical companies, NVO's prospects are such that management can, rather confidently, estimate internal sales growth of about 10%-11% for 2012. The low end of guidance was firmed up by 1% over the previous estimate.
The blog model portfolio will be adding to ASR, NVO and MA today.
These are not new ideas for the blog portfolio. All of the companies represent long time holdings and I am adding more shares to existing positions. My investment model is purely fundamental; timing issues and investor sentiment are unimportant to me.
The blog model has recently received dividends of $2404.60 US. This will be added to cash generated from the sale of 488 shares of Delhaize Group (DEG-NYSE-$42.37). Delhaize badly failed on earnings in Q1, 2012. DEG indicated that 2012 would represent a turnaround year, as opposed to a year of growth. That gets it booted from the account.
The total cash position of $22,981.16 will be allocated as follows.
1. A purchase of 100 shares of ASR will be made. With a full service commission of $100 US, the net investment will amount to $8,244 US.
2. A purchase of 23 shares of Mastercard will be made. With a full service commission of $100 US, the net investment will amount to $10,370.42 US.
3. A purchase of 28 shares of NVO will be made. With a full service commission of $100 US,the net investment will amount to $4264.44 US.
The bulk of dividend increases that typically flow through in the second quarter of each year still lie ahead.
As the portfolio operates with a fully invested, at all times, philosophy, this means that further investment activity in the next two months will occur. When sufficient funds flow through, there will be business to be reported on, with a view towards making new purchases or adding further to existing holdings. At those times, the blog model portfolio will dutifully write the actions up to readers.
I will be speaking at the Las Vegas Money Show on May 15th, 2012.
My involvement will be in the form of two panel discussions. I will be speaking about the developments at ASR in depth for attendees.
The Marketocracy team will be speaking about their investment strategies at the 2012 Money Show in Las Vegas on May 15th. Register at Marketocracy.com should you wish to attend.

Tortola, BVI (SportsNetwork.com) - Daveon Boardingham scored 14 points off the bench as the Southern Miss Golden Eagles came up with an 88-74 win over the Coppin State Eagles during the opening round of the BVI Tropical Shootout at the Multi-Purpose Sports Complex.
Boardingham, who converted all six of his field goal chances, also logged four blocked shots for the Golden Eagles (10-2) as they posted their fourth win in the last five games. Jerrold Brooks added 13 points and six assists, Michael Craig 12 points and seven rebounds, followed by Neil Watson with 11 points and a game-high eight dishes.
Michael Murray scored a game-high 23 points for Coppin State (4-6) as the team lost for the second time in as many outings. Andre Armstrong chipped in 16 points off the bench.
Coppin State shot an impressive 52.4 percent from the floor in the first half, but at the same time the Golden Eagles connected on 63.6 percent from the field in order to take a 50-34 advantage at the break.
In the second half the Eagles closed the gap slightly thanks to an 18-of-22 showing at the free-throw line, but that still wasn't enough to turn the tide completely. USM managed to make good on 53.8 percent from the floor in the period, but just 2-of-9 on the outside and 8-of-18 at the charity stripe.
Southern Miss, which led the entire way, outscored the Eagles in the paint by a 54-30 margin.

Compassion Clothing
Thirty years ago I went to Brazil as a short-term missionary with five other young adults. Little did I know how much that one decision would shape the rest of my life.
Join Us for One Day Without Shoes
Join us tomorrow, April 5, 2011, in TOMS Shoes' annual event — One Day Without Shoes — to raise awareness of the impact a pair of shoes can have on a child's life.
The Trials of Job
When I asked how we could pray for the family, Job started to cry. I was told, "Job needs to experience a father's love right now."
Undercover With Compassion
I have been feeling challenged lately to get closer to the heart of Compassion, where we interact with sponsors, churches and children. I recently read a quote from a top executive of a large retail chain (I can't remember which one — maybe Best Buy). He said, "I have never wasted a day visiting a…
Bearing Good Fruit
The ministry that Compassion does around the world is development. And, just as in farming, we do what we do for the outcomes—the fruit—not for the activities themselves. A farmer doesn't grow trees because it's good to grow trees; he grows trees in order to get the apples. At Compassion, we don't busy ourselves with…
Living the Legacy
We are all in a story. A great creative process of writing history and being swept up in history at the same time.
God is the author of the BIG story, the story of His great love and redemption. And we're all a part of that big story. But we each have our own stories to…
The World Needs Light Now More Than Ever
I expect that many of you are aware of the global economic situation. Developed economies around the world are reeling. Food prices around the globe have skyrocketed. Businesses are struggling.
Non-profits are laying people off, cutting back programs and scrambling for donations. The world seems dark.
So, how will we respond?
We will not shrink back…
Compassion Sri Lanka
In addition to the expectation and excitement of registering our first child in Togo later this year, I'm very excited to say that two weeks ago our Board of Directors unanimously approved plans to begin work in Sri Lanka.

Geneva General Child Care Center, located behind Geneva General Hospital, has earned accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) – the nation's leading organization of early childhood professionals.
"We're proud to have earned the mark of quality from NAEYC, and to be recognized for our commitment to reaching the highest professional standards," said Kathy Ryrko, Director of Geneva General Child Care Center. "NAEYC Accreditation lets families in our community know that children in our program are getting the best care and early learning experiences possible." Geneva General Child Care Center has been recognized for promoting positive relationships; having a curriculum that is consistent with its goals for children; using effective teaching approaches that enhance each child's learning and development; implementing assessment approaches to provide information on children's learning and development; having a program promotes the nutrition and health of children; employing and supporting a teaching staff with the educational qualifications, knowledge, and professional commitment necessary to promote children's learning and development; establishing and maintaining collaborative relationships with each child's family; establishing community relationships; having safe and healthful indoor and outdoor physical environments; and implementing policies, procedures, and systems that support stable staff and strong personnel, and program management so all children, families, and staff have high-quality experiences.
To earn NAEYC Accreditation, Geneva General Child Care Center went through an extensive self-study process, measuring the program and its services against the ten NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards and more than 400 related Accreditation Criteria. The program received NAEYC Accreditation after an on-site visit by NAEYC Assessors to ensure that the program meets each of the ten program standards. NAEYC-accredited programs are also subject to unannounced visits during their accreditation, which lasts for five years.
In the 25 years since NAEYC Accreditation was established, it has become a widely recognized sign of high-quality early childhood education. More than 7,000 programs are currently accredited by NAEYC – approximately 8 percent of all preschools and other early childhood programs.
"The NAEYC Accreditation system raises the bar for child care centers and other early childhood programs," said Jerlean E. Daniel, Ph.D, executive director of NAEYC. "Having earned NAEYC Accreditation is a sign that Geneva General Child Care Center is a leader in a national effort to invest in high-quality early childhood education."
The NAEYC Accreditation system has set voluntary professional standards for programs for young children since 1985. In September 2006, the Association revised program standards and criteria to introduce a new level of quality, accountability, and service for parents and children in child care programs. The new standards today reflect the latest research and best practices in early childhood education and development. NAEYC is committed to utilizing the newest studies and analysis on positive child outcomes to ensure young children continue receiving the highest-quality care and education possible.
Geneva General Child Care Center still has openings for three and four year olds in their pre-kindergarten education program this fall. Please contact Kathy Ryrko at (315) 787-4190 or email@example.com for more information.

Senior Bernadette Matthews had always dreamed of getting a
job in advertising for high-end art and fashion. As an intern for a national
fashion magazine she was well on her way. But after many service experiences at
Loyola Marymount University,
Matthews has her eyes set on other aspirations.
"My experience at LMU has changed the direction of my life,"
Matthews said. "I can't see myself working for an organization that didn't
focus its time and energy on those who are less fortunate."
One experience that influenced Matthews was a recent
Alternative Break trip to New Orleans
on Jan. 5 -12. The Alternative Break
Program gives students a chance to immerse themselves in a new culture, provide
aid through hands-on service experiences and educate themselves about
international political and socioeconomic issues.
Along with 12 other LMU students and volunteers from
Catholic Charities, Matthews helped repair houses that were destroyed by
Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Repairs included caulking and sealing cracks and
leaks in walls, installing insulation and painting the outside of houses. Many
of the students thought their assistance was minor, however the homeowners
thought otherwise.
"It's amazing how a fresh coat of paint gave some owners
their dignity back and a new feeling of hope," Matthews said.
Matthews was also exposed to many issues facing the city. She visited a youth center adjacent to a dump in the
Vietnamese community. Toxic materials and debris from the destruction of
the hurricane were being dumped there and were harmful to the children. The
community banded together and eventually forced the city to move the dump.
"Despite some media coverage, there are still a lot of
injustices happening in New Orleans,"
Matthews said. "It was powerful to learn about communities that fought against
those injustices, and won."
After graduation, Matthews plans to join a service program
teaching art to mentally and physically handicapped people. Her ultimate goal
is to work in advertising for a socially-conscious company or nonprofit
"I hope my art has the ability to make people think about
the deeper issues of the world, not about sensationalism," Matthews said.

You can download and play songs from a catalogue of over 200 songs. Smule also promises that it will be adding new songs every week.
Unfortunately, for those of you who have both platforms, songs that you buy will not be interchangeable between your two devices. Many Android users also have an iPod Touch that they may have played the game on, but will have to redownload all of their songs if they want to play on their Android handset.

Land Allotment Case It was Speaker Jigme Tshultim's second rebuttal statement to the court yesterday and, as in his first statement, this time too he pled not guilty.
He reiterated that all land allotments then were done in accordance with the government order and kaja (royal decree).
He said, while the 1987 kaja disallowed allotment of land, the subsequent kaja of 1991, and the letter that came from the zonal administrator, in keeping with the King's kaja, let the Gyalpoizhing land in question today be allotted.
"Therefore, the 1987 kaja should have been superseded by the one that followed in 1991," he said.
Coming to varying plot sizes allotted to different people, he said plot allotment was done in accordance with the kaja and the government order that had set no specific criteria to allot stipulated plot sizes.
He also said they followed the Bhutan Municipal Act of 1999.
The Act, he said, gave municipal committee the responsibility and authority to allot land.
"After the land allotment for Gyalpoizhing residents, they also received timber kidu from the King," he said. "This is evident that the whole process was done in accordance with the law, and that there was no disagreement from the King."
The power to allot building plots, he added, rested with respective dzongdas, who were aided by committees.
Touching on ACC's authority, he said there was a tussle in the roles and responsibilities between two constitutional bodies.
ACC investigating and prosecuting its own case went against the due process of law and equity and justice.
"Article 1 of our Constitution clearly says that Office of the Attorney General has the sole authority to charge cases to court," he said.
Using section 128 (3) of ACC Act, which delegates them the authority to prosecute, to charge him to court, the speaker said, was unconstitutional.
"As a speaker and legislator, we make laws, and I know our laws, just as I know the legal precedent this case is setting," he said. "There is every chance such precedent will hamper the country's Constitution and hamper governance."
ACC, he said, had the right to investigate and prosecute cases that came after its Act came into force.
"I don't understand how ACC has retrospectively applied the law," he said, adding article 27 (6) of Constitution stated that ACC must function within the purview of their Act.
"They're going against their own Act," he said. "ACC is acting as a state, by not following their own Act."
He also said the case lacked legal standing, because ACC was charging him under Thrimzhung Chhenmo and not their own Act.
"ACC doesn't have the right to investigate and prosecute cases relating to what happened more than a decade ago," he said. "They are misusing their power."
