Max Keiser: 'ScotCoin for Scottish Independence' [Dominic Frisby @ Keiser Report]
- Uploaded by Ur_lnner_Voice on Feb 11, 2014
- Views: 185
Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the 'debate' on Scottish Independence looking a lot like a farce as, for example, Scotland and England 'fight' for the right to keep the Royal Bank of Scotland. They also ask Alex Salmond, why be yet another nation on the chain gang, when you can be the first on the block chain? Be the first new nation to launch itself on the blockchain and ditch the old fraud and crony based model. In the second half, Max interviews columnist, author and goldbug, Dominic Frisby, about how Scotland could become the richest nation on Earth, rather than the most mangled bureaucracy in Europe.

Article: The Effect of pH on the Degradation of Biodegradable Poly(L-Lactide-Co-Glycolide) 80/20 Urethral Stent Material In Vitro[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate in vitro whether pH ranging between 6 and 9 has an effect on the degradation of stent fibers made of poly(l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) 80/20. The fibers were divided into three groups and immersed in sodium phosphate-buffered saline (Na-PBS) solution with three different pH values: 6, 7.4, and 9. The mechanical and thermal properties were studied, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were taken at specific time points of hydrolysis. The tensile testing showed that the strength of the fibers decreased through hydrolysis and was lost at 8 weeks in all groups. The T(m) and T(g) of the PLGA fibers did not indicate any significant differences between the different groups. In SEM images taken at 4 weeks, there were no significant differences between the fibers immersed in Na-PBS solutions of different pH values. However, at 8 weeks the surface of the fiber immersed in saline with a pH of 6 seemed coarser than that of those immersed in neutral (pH 7.4) or alkaline (pH 9) Na-PBS. The studied pH values did not influence the degradation behavior of the PLGA 80/20 fibers. Therefore, rabbits can be used as model animals for human biodegradable urological devices even though the pH of their urine is different.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the effect of an indomethacin-eluting biodegradable urethral stent on the production of inflammatory cytokines in vitro and the degradation and biocompatibility of the new stent in vivo. The effects of an indomethacin and indomethacin-eluting biodegradable stent on monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted), and transforming growth factor-ß were measured in THP-1 cells by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Stents (copolymer of L-lactide and glycolide acid) that were coated with 50L/50D polylactic acid and two different concentrations of indomethacin were inserted into the rabbit urethra. Stents without the drug were used as controls. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to assess the degradation of the stents. Biocompatibility was evaluated using histologic analyses of the urethral specimen. The measurements were performed at 3 weeks and 3 months. Indomethacin and indomethacin-releasing stent material inhibited MCP-1 and RANTES production in activated THP-1 macrophages. SEM analysis revealed that indomethacin coating had no effect on the degradation process of the stents and less epithelial polyposis had developed in the indomethacin stent group. In histologic analyses at 3 weeks, indomethacin-eluting stents caused more calcification but no significant differences in other tissue reactions. At 3 months, the indomethacin-eluting stents caused less inflammatory reaction and calcification compared with the control stents. Indomethacin-eluting property can be safely added to biodegradable stents without major influence on the degradation time. The development of epithelial polyposis in the urethra can be potentially reduced by the new indomethacin-eluting urethral stents.

ABSTRACT: To investigate the effects of biodegradable stent material (poly-96L/4D-lactic acid [PLA]) on the production of cytokines and other inflammatory mediators in vitro and the biocompatibility of new drug-eluting biodegradable urethral stent materials in vivo. Indomethacin, dexamethasone, and simvastatin were used in the materials. The effects of the biodegradable stent material on cytokines and other inflammatory mediators were measured using the Human Cytokine Antibody Array and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in THP-1 cells, with bacterial lipopolysaccharide as a positive control. To assess the biocompatibility of the stent materials, we used muscle implantation. Biodegradable stent materials without drug-eluting properties and silicone and latex were used as controls. The measurements were done at 3 weeks and 3 months. The PLA stent material induced production of inflammatory mediators, especially interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and transforming growth factor-beta, in vitro. The increase in the production of these mediators with the PLA stent material was smaller than in the cells treated with lipopolysaccharide. In vivo, the effects of the biodegradable materials did not differ at 3 weeks, although, at 3 months, dexamethasone had induced more tissue reactions than had the other materials. At 3 months, fibrosis and chronic inflammatory changes were decreased in the biodegradable material groups compared with the positive control. PLA stent material increased the production of cytokines and other inflammatory mediators less than did positive controls in vitro. The in vivo biocompatibility of the drug-eluting biodegradable materials was better than that of the positive controls. Drug-eluting biodegradable urethral stents could potentially offer a new treatment modality in the future.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the drug elution properties of novel drug-eluting bioabsorbable stents in vitro with four different drugs: dexamethasone, indomethacin, simvastatin and ciprofloxacin. Braided stents of poly-lactic acid (96l/4d) fibers were coated with a solution containing the appropriate bioabsorbable polymer and drug, with acetone as the solvent. Two different drug concentrations for both non-sterile and gamma sterilized stents were used for dexamethasone and indomethacin. For ciprofloxacin and simvastatin, only one drug dose was used. The stents were placed in sodium-phosphate-buffered saline in a shaking incubator (pH 7.4, +37 degrees C) and the eluted drug was measured periodically using an ultraviolet spectrometer. The drugs were hydrophobic to different degrees, as demonstrated by their various speeds of elution. In general, the higher the drug load in the stent, the faster the drug elution and the more hydrophilic the elution profile. In the cases of dexamethasone, indomethacin and ciprofloxacin, the sterilization decreased the drug elution rate slightly and the elution started earlier. However, in the case of ciprofloxacin, the gamma sterilization increased the drug elution rate slightly. Sustained elution was achieved for all four drugs. It was also evident that both the concentration and the hydrophility of the drug had a great influence on the drug elution profile. Gamma sterilization modified the drug elution profiles of dexamethasone, indomethacin and simvastatin, but had little effect on the drug elution profile of ciprofloxacin compared to three other drugs.
Article: Urethral in situ biocompatibility of new drug-eluting biodegradable stents: An experimental study in the rabbit[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To assess the effect of drug-eluting properties on the degradation process and the biocompatibility of biodegradable drug-eluting urethral stents. Braided biodegradable 80 L/20D-PLGA (copolymer of polylactide and polyglycolide) stents with drug-eluting properties were used as the test material. The drugs analysed were indomethacin, dexamethasone and ciprofloxacine. 80 L/20D-PLGA stents without a drug coating served as controls. In all, 16 male rabbits were used and divided into four groups. The stents were inserted under general anaesthesia into the posterior urethra. After 1 month, the rabbits were killed and the urethra removed for histological and optic microscopy analyses. Control stents and the dexamethasone-eluting stents degraded totally during the follow-up period. Conversely, in both indomethacin- and ciprofloxacine-eluting stent groups, the degradation process was significantly delayed and they induced an increase in epithelial hyperplasia. Histological analysis showed that all the stents induced eosinophilia, but there were no significant differences in the intensity of acute or chronic inflammatory reactions and fibrosis. A drug-eluting capacity can be added to biodegradable stents. The addition of a drug influences the biodegradation time of PLGA urethral stents. Further studies are needed, to find the proper concentrations and releasing profiles of the drugs to achieve the desired bioactivity and biocompatibility properties.
Article: Biodegradable braided poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) urethral stent combined with dutasteride in the treatment of acute urinary retention due to benign prostatic enlargement: A pilot study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate, in a pilot study, the efficacy and safety of combining a braided poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA, a copolymer of l-lactide and glycolide) urethral stent and dutasteride in the treatment of acute urinary retention (AUR) due to benign prostatic enlargement (BPE). Ten men with AUR due to BPE were treated as outpatients. A biodegradable braided PLGA urethral stent was inserted into the prostatic urethra, using a specially designed insertion device under visual control. Dutasteride treatment was started and the patients were followed up for 3 months after insertion of the stents. In all patients the stents were placed successfully with the new insertion device. All men were able to void after inserting the stent. At 1 month five patients voided freely with a low residual urine volume (<150 mL), two voided but had a high residual urine volume and a suprapubic catheter was placed, and three needed a suprapubic or an indwelling catheter before 1 month, due to AUR or comorbidities. At 3 months five patients were voiding with no problems. We have developed a new and effective insertion device for biodegradable braided prostatic stents. The new braided-pattern stent overcomes the earlier problems of migration and sudden breakage into large particles associated with biodegradable spiral stents. However, the mechanical properties of the new stent need to be improved and tested in a longer follow-up. We consider that this new biodegradable braided-pattern urethral stent could provide a new option in the future treatment of AUR.
Article: A Novel Biodegradable Pancreatic Stent for Human Pancreatic Applications: A Preclinical Study in a Large Animal Model[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Endoscopic stenting is one treatment method for pancreatic strictures or pseudocysts in patients with symptomatic chronic pancreatitis. With a biodegradable stent, the later removal of the stent could be avoided. We investigated the degradation, patency, and toxicity of a novel biodegradable, self-expanding radiopaque polylactide-barium sulfate pancreatic stent in a large animal model. Animal study. Five swine had a biodegradable pancreatic stent placed into the pancreatic duct (PD) and were followed-up for 6 months. Repeated blood tests and radiographs were studied during the follow-up. The animals were euthanized at 6 months, at which time, the PD inner diameter was measured, and histology was analyzed and graded. For comparison, histology from 5 nonstented animals was also analyzed. The stent was correctly inserted into the PD in 4 of 5 animals. All the animals remained healthy, gained weight, and showed no signs of pancreatitis. A radiograph showed that the stent was in its original place in all animals at 1 month but had disappeared in all animals by 3 months. At 6 months, the autopsied pancreatic tissue was soft, and the PD was patent in all of the animals. The PD was slightly dilated at the site of the stent in the head of the pancreas compared with the preoperative diameter (5 mm [range 3-6 mm] vs 2 mm [range 1-3 mm], P < .05), but, in the body of the pancreas, no significant dilatation was seen. In the histology of the pancreata, there was no difference between the samples from the exposed parts of the biodegradable pancreatic stent compared with the distal nonexposed parts, or to the samples from the nonstented animals. This novel biodegradable pancreatic stent, studied in these swine, appeared to be safe for use in the PD. These encouraging results warrant further clinical trials with this biodegradable pancreatic stent in pancreatic applications in human beings.
Article: A New Biodegradable Braided Self-Expandable PLGA Prostatic Stent: An Experimental Study in the Rabbit[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The biodegradable PLGA (a copolymer of L-lactide and glycolide) urethral stent with a spiral configuration has been used clinically for the prevention of postoperative urinary retention after different types of thermal therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia. A new braiding pattern for this stent has recently been developed by our group. The aim here was to investigate the in situ degradation and biocompatibility of the new braided stent in the rabbit urethra. PLGA stents with a one-over-one braiding pattern and steel stents served as controls that were inserted into the posterior urethras of 24 male rabbits using a special delivery instrument. The animals were sacrificed after 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, or 4 months, and light microscopy and histologic analyses were performed. The delivery instrument worked well and cystoscopy was not needed in the insertion process. The braided PLGA stents degraded smoothly in 1 to 2 months. The metallic stents induced more epithelial hyperplasia and epithelial changes than the biodegradable stents at all time points analyzed. These differences increased during follow-up. The degradation process was well controlled and the biodegradable stents were more biocompatible than the metallic stents. The new stent can be inserted into the posterior urethra without cystoscopic aid.

ABSTRACT: Drug-eluting stents are a recent innovation for endovascular and endourethral purposes. The aim of this study was to assess the biocompatibility of new biodegradable drug-eluting stent materials in vivo. Rods made of SR-PLDLA (self-reinforced poly-96L,4D: -lactic acid) covered with P(50L/50D)LA and rods made of 96L/4D SR-PLA and covered with P(50L/50D)LA including indomethacin 3.3 microg/mm(2)or dexamethasone 1.5 microg/mm(2), were inserted into the dorsal muscles of 20 rabbits serving as test animals. Rods made of silicone and organotin-positive polyvinylchloride were used as negative and positive controls. The animals were sacrificed after 1 week, 1 month, 2 months or 4 months. Histological changes attributable to the operative trauma were seen in all specimens at 1 week and 1 month. At 2 months both dexamethasone and indomethacin induced less fibrosis than the plain SR-PLDLA covered with P(50L/50D)LA without drug. At 4 months dexamethasone induced both chronic inflammatory changes and foreign body reaction, whereas the reactions in the indomethacin and drug-free plain SR-PLDLA groups were insignificant. The new biodegradable drug-eluting stent materials are highly biocompatible. Drug-eluting biodegradable stents may offer a promising new treatment modality for vascular and urethral diseases. However, further studies are needed to demonstrate their feasibility and efficacy.
Article: Biodegradable Biliary Stent in the Endoscopic Treatment of Cystic Duct Leakage After Cholecystectomy[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A bile leak is a common complication after a cholecystectomy. The use of a novel, self-expanding, radiopaque polylactide-barium sulphate biodegradable stent and a polyethylene stent was investigated in 12 pigs with cystic-duct leakage. Prospective animal study. After cholecystectomy, the cystic duct was left without ligation, and then the foramen of Winslow was drained extra-abdominally. During the duodenoscopy, a biodegradable or a polyethylene biliary stent was inserted into the bile duct. The bile-drain output was measured daily, and when it was below 20 mL/d, the drain was removed. The animals were followed by repeated abdominal radiographs and serum determinations until they were euthanized at 6 months, when histologic evaluation of the bile duct and surrounding tissues was performed. In the biodegradable stent group, the total external output of bile was significantly smaller (median [range], 165 mL [100-1740 mL] vs 710 mL [355-1020 mL]; P<.01) and the drains could be removed earlier (5 days [4-5 days] vs 7 days [6-7 days] after surgery; P<.05) compared with the plastic stent group. In the abdominal radiograph, a biodegradable or polyethylene stent was seen to be in place in all animals at 3 months and in 0 of 6 (biodegradable biliary stent group) and 1 of 5 (polyethylene biliary stent group) animals at 6 months. One polyethylene stent was found to be clotted at the necropsy at 6 months. The rest of the stents had disappeared by 6 months, and there was no significant difference in the bile-duct inner diameter or the histology between the groups. This novel biodegradable stent is applicable, safe, and effective in the endoscopic treatment of postcholecystectomy cystic-duct leakage. In addition, the subsequent removal of the stent can be avoided. These encouraging experimental results warrant further clinical trials.
Article: Biocompatibility of a New Bioabsorbable Radiopaque Stent Material (BaSO4 Containing Poly-L,D-Lactide) in the Rat Pancreas[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: During recent years, we have been developing bioabsorbable biliary stents with promising experimental results. In developing pancreatic stents before long-term experiments, the acute toxicity to the pancreas of a bioabsorbable, radiopaque polylactide (PLA 96-barium sulfate, BaSO4) stent material was investigated. The pancreas of 65 Sprague-Dawley rats was exposed either to radiopaque stent material [PLA 96 with 25% (w/w) of BaSO4], radiolucent stent material (PLA 96), or inert steel by inserting a 5-mm-long (diameter 0.3 mm) fiber/stick of material into the pancreas after laparotomy under general anesthesia. Pancreatic tissue specimens and blood samples were taken after 1, 3, 7, and 21 days for histological examination and amylase activity measurements. Samples were also taken from 5 baseline (control) rats without exposing to any materials. The baseline serum amylase activity was normal, and no histological changes in the pancreas were observed. A significant increase (mean +/- SE) in the serum amylase activity was observed only on day 1 in the animals having radiopaque stent material (PLA 96-BaSO4; 5,845 +/- 1,135 U/l), steel (4,946 +/- 667 U/l), or radiolucent stent material (PLA 96; 7,684 +/- 667 U/l) inserted. There was slightly more acinar cell necrosis on day 7 in the steel group than in the radiopaque stent (PLA 96-BaSO(4)) group (p = 0.028). Radiopaque stent material (PLA 96-BaSO4) was not more toxic than the reference steel material in the rat pancreas during the 21-day observation period and is thus applicable for further in vivo experiments when developing pancreatic bioabsorbable stents.
Article: Drug-Eluting Biodegradable Poly-D/L-Lactic Acid Vascular Stents: An Experimental Pilot Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate in vivo a new drug-eluting biodegradable vascular stent with respect to biocompatibility, neointimal hyperplasia formation, and reliability. Self-expanding biodegradable poly-96L/4D-lactic acid (PLA) stents with 2 drugs (PLA + dexamethasone [DEX] and PLA + simvastatin [SIM]) and 2 different coatings (PLA + P(D,L)LA and PLA + polycaprolactone [PCL]) were compared with a self-expanding stainless steel Wallstent. The stents were implanted in both common iliac arteries of 8 pigs. Prior to sacrifice at 1 month, angiography was performed to determine patency. Specimens were harvested for quantitative histomorphometry; vascular injury and inflammation scores were assigned to the stented iliac segments. All stented arteries were angiographically patent. The mean luminal diameter (3.05 mm) and area (30.36 mm2) of DEX-eluting PLA stents were decreased compared to other stents (PLA + P(D,L)LA: 3.66 mm and 43.92 mm2; PLA + SIM: 4.21 mm and 56.48 mm2; PLA + PCL: 4.19 mm and 54.64 mm2; Wallstent: 5.01 mm and 81.19 mm2). Wallstents and DEX-eluting PLA stents induced minimal intimal hyperplasia: PLA + DEX: 0.16 mm, PLA + P(D,L)LA: 0.35 mm, PLA + SIM: 0.33 mm, PLA + PCL: 0.29 mm, and Wallstent: 0.18 mm. The vascular injury scores demonstrated only mild vascular trauma for all stents. Only mild to moderate inflammatory reaction was noted around stent struts with a vascular inflammation score. Biodegradable polymer stents appear to be biocompatible and reliable, causing minimal neointimal hyperplasia. Furthermore, the new biodegradable poly-D/L-lactic acid stent can be used as a local drug delivery vehicle. The DEX-eluting PLA stent reduces neointimal hyperplasia. The findings show a need for further investigation to prove the efficacy and safety of this new biodegradable drug-eluting stent.

On February 22, Park made it official. While at South Korea, he reported that he signed a contract with the team he pitched against in the Fall Classic: the New York Yankees. The deal is said to be worth $1.2million for 1 year, and includes incentives, which can make the deal worth up to $1.5million. He pitched in 45 games last year, starting 7 games. His final ERA of the 09' campaign was 4.43 and went 3-3. Even though he can start, he will serve his role out of the 'pen. The starting job either goes to Chamberlain, Hughes, Aceves, Gaudin, or Mitre. The 36 year old veteran stated that ""I was deliberating on the Chicago Cubs and the Yankees, but their history and championship contention resulted in me picking the Yankees," ... "Until last night, I was leaning toward the Cubs."
This seems like just last year, when Pat Burrell signed with the Rays, the team he faced in the World Series.

Our national pastime, baseball has been with us since the middle of the 19th century. To honor its greatest players, a shrine in Cooperstown, N.Y. was created almost 80 years ago to honor the greatest that have played the game. But as we are learning, to become a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame you need to be elected by 75 percent of the some 500 baseball/sports journalists who are members of the Baseball Writers Association of America. The election is held in January of each year.
Founded by Stephen Clark, grandson of Edward Clark who was a founder of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, the site of the Hall of Fame was part of a gymnasium built by Clark's father Alfred Corning Clark. It was the first gymnasium built in Cooperstown and Cooperstown was the birthplace of Stephen Clark. Part of Clark's thinking with respect to the Hall was tourism for Cooperstown.
With some 500 baseball writers making the selection, the procedure is very political. Just look at the controversy created by the likes of Mark McGwire or Sammy Sosa, players with incredible credentials but politically barred by the alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs. Look what happened to Barry Bonds. McGwire and Sosa perhaps single-handedly saved the game after the baseball player strike of the mid 1990s with their home run duel in 1998. It brought fans back to the game in droves.
However there is another place that these baseball players may find themselves someday, The Baseball Reliquary. Founded in 1996 in Monrovia by Terry Cannon, the Reliquary contains artifacts of the game like some of the original turf and soil from Elysian Fields (located in Hoboken, New Jersey), thought to be the place of the first organized (played under the first written rules) baseball game played on June 19, 1846. Cannon says the Reliquary celebrates the merging of baseball, culture and art and the effect on all three as well as people who had an effect on the game that may not be well-known like Emmett Ashford, who became the first black umpire in the major leagues. The reason Ashford is significant isn't necessarily his skin color, but Ashford turned umpiring into an "artform."
Those of us who were here during the era of the Pacific Coast League and teams like the Sacramento Solons, Hollywood Stars, San Francisco Seals and the Los Angeles Angels knew Ashford well. He added style to the game with his "colorful" moves and he was a sharp dresser off the field. When Ashford made it to the show in 1960, Cannon actually got his autograph at Angels stadium (the Big "A") in the early 1960s.
Cannon has been a baseball fanatic since he first read as a 9-year-old child in 1962 the book "Veeck — As in Wreck." Bill Veeck, Jr. was the general manager of the Chicago White Sox who in 1951, put 3-foot-7-inch Eddie Gaedel in the lineup to get the team a walk. Shortly thereafter American League President Will Harridge banned midgets from the game. While Gaedel's jersey wore the number "1/8" and hangs in the Hall of Fame, his athletic supporter is part of the Reliquary collection along with a miniature trophy given to him by the St. Louis Browns sponsor, Falstaff Brewery. Cannon since has read hundreds of books about baseball. One of the Reliquary supporters is Jim Bouton, former big league pitcher and author of the best seller "Ball Four."
In 1999, the Reliquary started its own hall of fame called the Shrine of Eternals, honoring three people every year voted in by its 300-plus members. And the beauty is anyone can become a member so its members are essentially voted in by the public. There are currently 42 Shrine members and they are an eclectic group. Members include Jim Abbott (one-armed pitcher), Yogi Berra, Ila Borders (daughter of former major leaguer Pat Borders; Ila pitched for the Colorado Silver Bullets and reportedly had an 86 mph fastball), Bill Buckner, Steve Dalkowski, Mark "the Bird" Fidrych, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Curt Flood (broke baseball's reserve clause), Bill "Spaceman" Lee, Roger Maris, Minnie Minoso (played in six decades), Pete Rose, Casey Stengel, Louis Tiant, Fernando Valenzuela and many others, some of which are already in the Hall of Fame.
On the current ballot are people like Sy Berger, who joined Topps bubble gum company as a sales promotion executive after World War II and re-invented the modern baseball card as we know it today. Also on the ballot is a star from the Pacific Coast League's Los Angeles Angels, Steve Bilko, who hit 56 home runs and won the PCL's Triple Crown in 1956. I saw him play many times and being a Hollywood Stars fan, didn't like him much. It is said that Phil Silvers, who starred as Sargent Bilko in the TV comedy "You'll Never Get Rich," took his character's name from Steve Bilko because of his popularity (I thought Silvers took the name as a play on words because he was always trying to bilk people out of money).
The ballot is replete with others who made significant contributions to the game like Bert Campaneris (he played all nine positions in one game in 1965 and became part of the A's World Championship dynasty from 1972-1974), Rocky Colavito, Carlos Delgado, Ernie Harwell, Bo Jackson, Manny Mota, Tug McGraw (his son is singer Tim McGraw whose other talent is baseball as well; Tim played in the minor leagues), Annie Savoy (yes a character from Ron Shelton's film classic Bull Durham), Rusty Staub (whose charitable foundation created the year after his retirement from the game after 23 years in the Bigs has raised more than $112 million), Fay Vincent, Rube Waddell and even Don Zimmer. There are more, too many to name, but you get the idea.
The Reliquary, which goes on periodic display at various libraries and similar venues in Southern California, is loaded with significant and unusual artifacts of the game like Joe Bauman's 70th home run ball from 1954, 44 years before Mark McGwire accomplished the feat; Bauman did it while playing for the class C league Roswell Rockies (he went on to hit 72 that year). Or does the Dave Bresnahan potato pique your interest?
What is a potato doing in the Reliquary, you ask? Bresnahan was catching for the Double A Williamsport team in the Eastern League and before the game he made a potato look like a baseball and concealed it on his body. When there was an opposing runner on third base he threw the potato wildly over his third baseman's head in a pickoff attempt. The runner on third came home and was tagged out with the real ball, which Bresnahan still held in his glove. The umpire called the play deceptive and awarded the runner home and threw Bresnahan out of the game. The next day he was released by the club and his career was over, but he became an instant celebrity. Three years later the club had a Dave Bresnahan day and retired his number. Not bad for a backup catcher hitting .140. A young fan retrieved the potato and preserved it.
A recent documentary DVD by Jon Leonoudakis aptly sums up the Reliquary with the title "Not exactly Cooperstown, an unorthodox look at America's most orthodox game." If you love baseball you at least have to visit the Website, BaseballReliquary.com. Just give yourself enough time, because it is like a book you cannot put down.

Here's my design of what I think the FT-1 concept can look like as a race car with wide fenders, etc. complete with a throwback Castrol livery.
This is hawt.
its wheeljack :3
You are eerily close to the ft 1 vision gt concept.
Cudos to you sir!
Cudos to you sir!
AWESOME Textures & Graphics to the car itself!
I think that the Castrol's livery suits perfectly on the FT-1 , nice work .
you made it much better
I think this is nice, but I am not a fan of the way the rear wing is.
The only car that looks better with this livery is Supra.
Astonishing work Jon,keep it up.
Killer stuff, Jon!!!
Cool, I knew I had seen this before, it is featured in that post on the Top Gear UK website Great work!
That's my favorite livery for a racecar, going back to when the MKIV Supra sported them. Great job Jon
I liky like.
HMMM so nice
You spelled Yokohama wrong, but it's a good render!
Great work as usual, just saw this render posted on the official Top Gear Facebook page
It looks more functional as a race car then a street car. Maybe that was the idea behind the FT-1 Concept. Try and shoehorn the car into a racing mindset.
are these vector or PS. they all look great

Hash: SHA1
Topic: potential denial of service in leafnode
Announcement: leafnode-SA-2005:02
Author: Matthias Andree
Version: 1.00
Announced: 2005-06-08
Category: main
Type: potential denial of service
Impact: fetchnews hangs, no new fetchnews/texpire processes
can be started
Credits: Adam Funk (bug report)
Danger: medium:
- no build-up of memory consumption
- no privilege escalation through this bug
- malicious upstream server can be unlisted
CVE Name: CAN-2005-1911
URL: http://leafnode.sourceforge.net/leafnode-SA-2005-02.txt
Affects: leafnode versions up to and including 1.11.2
Not affected: leafnode 1.11.3
Default install: affected.
Corrected: 2005-06-08 14:06 UTC (CVS) - committed corrected version
2005-06-08 leafnode 1.11.3 released
0. Release history
2005-06-08 1.00 initial announcement
1. Background
leafnode is a store-and-forward proxy for Usenet news, is uses the
network news transfer protocol (NNTP). It consists of several
collaborating programs, the server part is usually started by inetd,
xinetd or tcpserver, the client part is usually started by cron,
a PPP post-connect script or manually.
This security announcement pertains to leafnode-1, the stable branch.
The leafnode-2 development branch is not subject to security announcements.
2. Problem description
A vulnerability was found in the fetchnews program (the NNTP client) that
may under some circumstances cause a wait for input that never arrives,
fetchnews "hangs". This hang does not cost CPU.
3. Impact
As only one fetchnews program can run at a time, subsequently started
fetchnews and texpire programs will terminate. This means that the news
database will no longer be updated, older articles will no longer
expire, until the hanging fetchnews process gets unstuck, usually
through a manual "kill" command or a reboot.
4. Workaround
Comment out all configuration pertaining to the malicious server.
Note that this is not a full solution as transient network errors can
also cause delays in querying other network servers, and it requires
manual intervention to find out which server is malicious.
5. Solution
Upgrade your leafnode package to version 1.11.3.
leafnode 1.11.3 is available from SourceForge:
Leafnode 1.X versions are deemed stable, and it is usually best to go
for the latest released 1.X version to have all the other bug fixes as

I've got an jquery isoptope that I filter with checkboxes. The value of the checkboxes are retrieved with jquery cookie and I want to set the initial filter using the values of the checkboxes. I've made a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/qdzcP/10/
I'm creating a new variable
var initfilter = [];
initfilter.push( this.value );
initfilter = initfilter.join(', ');
and then loading the variable as a filter when I load isotope
itemSelector: '.item',
filter: 'initfilter'
However it seems that the filter that initialises is not correct. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks a lot!

An article in Pool & Spa News (March 31, 1999 issue) shows how to do it. First, you require a prescription from your doctor in order to get the deduction.

VMware's Official Support Statement Regarding Oracle Certification and Licensing
VMware has put a stake in the ground with respect to Oracle licensing of VMware VMs running Oracle. The gist of this statement regarding certification, support, and licensing is that DRS host affinity rules, combined with vCenter audit trails showing where VMs have actually run, are sufficient for Oracle licensing purposes. The summary of the document states:
DRS Host Affinity rules can be used to run Oracle on a subset of the hosts within a cluster. In many cases, customers can use vSphere to achieve substantial licensing savings.

|Patent application number
|GUIDED BONE REGENERATION MEMBRANE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A guided bone regeneration material is disclosed. The guided bone regeneration material includes biodegradable fibers produced by an electro spinning method. The biodegradable fibers produced by the method include a silicon-releasing calcium carbonate and a biodegradable polymer. The silicon-releasing calcium carbonate is a composite of siloxane and calcium carbonate of vaterite phase. The biodegradable fibers may be coated with apatite. When the guided bone regeneration material is immersed in a neutral aqueous solution, silicon species ions are eluted from the calcium carbonate. The guided bone regeneration material excels in bone reconstruction ability.
|Guided bone regeneration membrane and manufacturing method thereof - Disclosed is a guided bone regeneration membrane including a novel mechanism that effectively induces a bone reconstruction ability. The mechanism is provided by forming a bi-layered structure of a first nonwoven fabric layer containing a silicon-releasable calcium carbonate and a poly(lactic acid) as principal components and a second nonwoven fabric layer containing a poly(lactic acid) as a principal component; and coating the first nonwoven fabric layer with an apatite. The guided bone regeneration membrane is available by using a nonwoven fabric manufacturing technique through electrospinning and a simulated body fluid soaking technique.

According to Reb Moshe Feinstein, ZTZ"L, one may observe any secular
holiday, and is encouraged to do so if celebrating for one's free and
religious-accepting country. The catch is that one may not make such a
"holiday" like a "Chag," a Jewish festival. That means that one may not
respect that secular "holiday" with the same holiness which we give to
Jewish festivals. If all religious restrictions are kept, such as, if
there were a holiday during which it is the custom to eat pig, one may not
do so.

Petar I Petrović Njegoš (Serbian Cyrillic: Петар I Петровић Његош; 1747–1830) was the ruler of the Prince-Bishopric of Montenegro as the Metropolitan (vladika) of Cetinje, and Exarch (legate) of the Serbian Orthodox Church throne. He was the most popular spiritual and military leader from the Petrović dynasty. During his long rule, Petar strengthened the state by uniting the often quarreling tribes, consolidating his control over Montenegrin lands, introducing the first laws in Montenegro (Zakonik Petra I) and a program of liberation and unification of Serbs[citation needed]. He was canonized by the Serbian Church as "St. Peter of Cetinje" (Свети Петар Цетињски).
He was described as "a man of uncommon size, handsome features, considerable talent, and a highly respected character" by Therese Albertine Luise Robinson.[1]
Against the Ottoman Empire (1785–96)[edit]
He had benefited from four years' schooling in a military college (1762-1766) in Imperial Russia, was known to have been Vasilije III Petrović-Njegoš's choice as successor, and had strong support among the clan chiefs. He had unquestioned moral authority strengthened by his military successes. His rule prepared Montenegro for the subsequent introduction of modern institutions of the state: taxes, schools and larger commercial enterprises.
He was made a bishop by Mojsije Putnik of the Metropolitanate of Karlovci at Sremski Karlovci on the 13th of October 1784. During his long trip to Russia that year and the following (1785), Montenegro was attacked by Turkish forces. When Vladika Petar I returned from Russia, he began a war of liberation. At the crucial Battle of Krusi (a village in Lješanska nahija) the Turkish Army of 30,000 led by Mahmut-Paša Bušatlija and assisted with seven French officers was defeated with heavy casualties by a force of 6,000 Montenegrins led by Vladika Petar I (3 Oct. 1796). In this famous battle Mahmut-pasha was killed. After the victory Petar enlarged the territory of Montenegro and became virtually independent of the Ottoman Empire.
Against the French Empire (1806–07)[edit]
In 1806, the troops of Napoleonic France advanced toward the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. The Montenegrin army led by Vladika Petar I, aided by several Russian battalions and the fleet of Admiral Dmitry Senyavin pushed them back to Dubrovnik. But soon after, Russian Tsar Alexander I asked Montenegrins to relinquish control of Boka to Austria. However, after Montenegrins retreated to Herceg Novi, Alexander changed his mind again, and with a help of Montenegrins conquered Brač and Korčula. In the meantime, France encouraged Turkey to attack Russia, which withdrew its fleet from the Adriatic to defend the Ionian islands. The Treaty of Tilsit (1807) between Russia and France granted the control of the Bay of Kotor to France.
Against the Ottoman Empire (1820)[edit]
In 1820, in the north of Montenegro, the highlanders from Morača led by Serdar[disambiguation needed] Mrkoje Mijušković won a major battle against the Turkish force in Bosnia.
Petar I waged a successful campaign against the bey of Bosnia in 1819. The repulse of an Ottoman invasion from Albania during the Russo-Turkish War (1828–29) led to the recognition of Montenegrin sovereignty over Piperi.[2] Petar I had managed to unite the Piperi and Bjelopavlići with Montenegro,[2] and when Bjelopavlići and the rest of the Hills (Seven hills) were joined into Peter's state, the polity officially called "Black Mountain (Montenegro) and the Hills".[3]
Petar was the conceiver of a plan to form a new Serbian Empire out of Bosnia, Serbia, Herzegovina and Montenegro with Boka, with Dubrovnik as its Imperial Capital. In 1807, he sent a letter to the Russian General of the Danube Army regarding this subject: "The Russian Czar would be recognized as the Tsar of the Serbs and the Metropolitan of Montenegro would be his assistant. The leading role in the restoration of the Serbian Empire belongs to Montenegro."
He was canonised as Saint Peter of Cetinje by his successor Petar II Petrović Njegoš. The Serbian Orthodox Church celebrates him on October 31, Gregorian calendar, which is October 18 in the Julian calendar.

One Fine Day (song)
|"One Fine Day"
|Single by The Chiffons
|from the album One Fine Day
|"Why Am I So Shy"
|May 1963
|45 rpm record
|Laurie Records
|Carole King, Gerry Goffin
|the Tokens
|The Chiffons singles chronology
"One Fine Day" is a popular song by songwriters Gerry Goffin and Carole King which was a hit in the summer of 1963 for girl group the Chiffons and has subsequently been covered by numerous artists.
The Chiffons version[edit]
Goffin and King were inspired by the title of the aria Un bel di vedremo from the Puccini opera Madama Butterfly. Intended for Little Eva, "One Fine Day" was prepped as a demo by Goffin and King with King providing a guide vocal but - despite a propulsive piano riff courtesy of King - Goffin and King were unable to construct a viable arrangement and eventually gave up, passing the song to the Tokens who had recently produced the #1 hit "He's So Fine" by the Chiffons for whom it was thought another "fine" song had hit potential. The piano work by King (whose vocal was erased) was retained for the Chiffons' recording and King attended the session at which the Chiffons recorded their vocals. However the Tokens radically re-worked the Goffin/King demo of "One Fine Day" for the Chiffons' version; Gerry Goffin commented that the Tokens "really earned their production credit". The personnel on the original recording included Carl Lynch on guitar, Dick Romoff on bass, Artie Kaplan, Sid Jekowsky, and Joe Grimaldi on sax, and Gary Chester and Buddy Saltzman on drums.[1][2]
"One Fine Day" by the Chiffons reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100: its R&B chart peak was #6. The single was an international hit charting in the UK (#29),[3] France (#18),[4] and New Zealand (#6).[5] The Chiffons' "One Fine Day" was ranked #460 on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[6]
The Chiffons' placing two "fine" songs in the Top Ten motivated the Tokens to especially prep the group's next single "A Love So Fine" which only managed a #40 peak.
The Chiffons' version has made numerous soundtrack appearances including: Fingers (1978), The Hollywood Knights (1980), The Flamingo Kid (1984), Desperately Seeking Susan (the track's classic piano riff opens the film) (1985), A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon (1988), The Joy Luck Club (1993), the 1996 film One Fine Day, Riding in Cars with Boys (2001), The Wedding Date (2005), And When Did You Last See Your Father? (2007) and Flipped (2010). The song is also featured in The Simpsons episode "Bart the Murderer".[7]
Carole King version[edit]
|"One Fine Day"
|Single by Carole King
|from the album Pearls: Songs of Goffin and King
|"Recipients of History"
|May 1980
|45 rpm record
|Carole King, Gerry Goffin
|Carole King, Mark Hallman
|Carole King singles chronology
Carole King herself had the first major hit remake of her own composition when she recorded "One Fine Day" for her studio album Pearls: Songs of Goffin and King which mostly comprised King's renditions of pop classics she'd co-written with Gerry Goffin.
King's version of "One Fine Day" reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1980. Her cover of "One Fine Day", was ranked at number 73 on Billboard's list of the top 100 hits of 1980,[8] it was to be her final Hot 100 appearance. Despite the single's success, it has curiously not been included on King's "best of" compilations.
Other versions[edit]
- The French-language rendering of "One Fine Day": "Un beau jour" was a 1963 single release for Jacky Moulière (fr) becoming his most successful single with a peak of #20 on the hit parade for France: the track was also included on Moulière's 1964 self-titled album release.
- The Mindbenders cut a version of "One Fine Day" which served as the B-side of their #28 UK hit "Can't Live With You (Can't Live Without You)" (1966).
- In 1967 Ken Sparkes, then a dee jay at 3AK Radio in Melbourne, recorded a version of "One Fine Day" which that March reached the Melbourne hit parade at #49, ranking at #86 on the chart for Australia.
- The first remake of "One Fine Day" to chart in the US was that by veteran cabaret singer Julie Budd whose disco version - credited to Julie - reached #93 in 1976; Budd's only charting track, "One Fine Day" was produced by top '60s producer Herb Bernstein. The version of "One Fine Day" by Julie Budd is featured in the film The Driver (1978).
- "One Fine Day" next charted in the autumn of 1979 for Rita Coolidge whose version, prominently featuring Michael McDonald, reached #66 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #15 on Billboard's Easy Listening chart. Coolidge's version of "One Fine Day" also reached #68 in Australia.
- "One Fine Day" served as title cut for a 2005 release by Sandy Posey on which she returned to the countrypolitan sound of her own '60s successes via covers of classic Pop hits.

Let me guess as per usual unknown sources...all these investment firms are so corrupt in unbelievable. Its all a game to them to drive good stocks down so they can buy them up and make more money while average Joe investor loses his shirt. Maybe we should all sell our stocks and invest in something that is not so corrupt and put all these useless slimeballs out of work.
This is a "drama queen" downgrade to react to short term conditions. He will upgrade when Apple is at 400 and then make like nothing happened. His clients will tar and feather him.
He will be WRONG cause he does not understand the basic model that allows Apple to blow out the numbers every qtr. Oh yeah like they will be in line. Stupidity.
Manufacturing limitations could indeed be a "pinch point", but once that is resolved, AAPL has many growth drivers: iPad 2; OS 10.7 coming out; iphone on Verizon = RIP for Android in the US market.
Being a brave idiot might be worse than being a cowardly idiot as you can make even bigger mistakes. Gauna is saying Foxconn sales growth is slowing down, then so must Apple. Apple is only about 20% of Foxconn's business. No mention of the other 80% slowing down?
This is like saying that if Texas is selling less cattle, then MacDonalds must be selling less burgers.
Apple has fallen to 3rd and Android is first in the United States.
I'm NOT a Stock Analyst, but I stayed at a HolidayInn express last night....and I say Apple is a BUY and I see Stock price going to $450...$600 by years end...
here's one revenue driver you missed for the quarter Bat *hi*. SK Telecom the largest S korean mobile carrier starting shipping and selling IPhone4 CDMA today, 93 million subscribers. No more Apple exclusive for KT in S Korea.
This guy is a moron!
Just remember, money is fiction, and that sword cuts both ways.
be careful... although apple is a large customer of foxconn, they are merely a fraction of foxconn's overall business. foxconn makes the majority of low end notebooks and netbooks from vendors like dell and hp which have fallen off cliff most likely due to the iPad. any sustained (or likely increased) growth in apple's products will not be make up for any dramatic slowdown in foxconn's generic pc manufacturing business not to mention it's massive telecommunications business (connectors, cable harnesses, etc).
imho, next month appl will revel dramatic y/y growth in iphones and ipad business (i.e +100%), not to mention good growth in it's mac business (i.e. +25%) and JMP will have some explaining. but then again (as buffet will say), i not as smart as the experts... lol
More Guano from Guana
This is a real stretch of imagination and so little facts to go on. I noted that there was no revised target price, does this mean the author is uncertain about the direction AAPL is heading?
1) JMP doesn't matter.
2) Hon Hai has been losing market share to other suppliers because Apple INCREASED DEMAND on its supply chain for anticipated iPad and next generation iPhone sales.
Pretty stupid.
Tell that to my kids whom all three want iPads. Oh yea I'm reading this on my iPhone. Lol
Ummm... EXCUSE ME!!!!
Doesn't Hon Hai manufacture non Apple products too?
Could it be that other computer company's are feeling Apple's heat and the 'slow down' is due to so called Apple competitors not being able to keep up? Or do you as an 'analyst' have no obligation to consider All THE OPTIONS before releasing FUD to manipulate the market for your own gain?
aapl is coming down and it should look at the valuations.
If you can't tell the media has done a number on the stock price moving it way past fare value. Pleases
Just look at these valuations of MMI They are 1/2 the others
MMI android cell and XOOM is gaining traction.
MMI is growing
Price/Sales (ttm): 0.60
Revenue Per Share (ttm): 38.94
MMI current price $ 23.46
Compare these numbers to the competition s,rimm,nok,aapl,
IMO MMI is a gift at $ 23.45 IMO 6 month price target $48.00
Just bought 100 shares. Hope it keeps going down so I can CDA my $353 position! Thanks for the downgrade - it is idiotic, reactive and provided a nice buying opp! They are going to decimate earnings next month, literally. Apple created 1million iPads for the first month and sold them all in 72 hours. Downgrade? Who hires these analysts?
"as exposing the stock to near-term downside risk towards its $30."
What the hell is he talking about?
That was our bad. The note said toward Apple's $300 200-day moving average. Fixed it now.
I am an open-source fan, an Android fan, and not an Apple fan whatsoever. But with the IPhone now on Verizon and the fantastic performance of the Ipad, I foresee most households opting for Ipads over laptops and Android tablets in the future. They are virus-free (Android has already had malicious apps removed from the market), are at a price-point that is tough to beat, do not have incompatibilities from manufacturer to manufacturer as Android does (this is exactly why Netflix is not available on Android, and you KNOW they want to be) and they "just work" (as opposed to the various bugs in Android from manufacturer to manufacturer). I hate to say it, but Apple has nailed it.
This is incredibly silly...one, even if Apple disappointments, the stock has already dropped 20+points!!! So the share is acting like something bad has already happened.
@Thanks It's about time some truth to this over hype stock
You are just a shill trying to pump your stock. You will lose big.

This Jackass is pumping MMI since it was $30, all over the net under various aliases.
Perhaps he's Guanos partner?
Let's see him put his money where his mouth is on that one. Where were the lines for the Motorola Xoom?! Apple sold more iPad2's in less than 15 min of launch than motorola has sold since Feb.
All you need to do is to watch the movie 'Inside Job' to realize Wall Street is loaded with crooks. I think the classic line is where the ratings agencies said their ratings should not be used for investment purposes. The same holds true for stock analyst positions. Do your own evaluation. Ignore the hype.
sounds like a lot of "we don't know", that is not a reason to base an estimate.
"We don't know the source of the Hon Hai deceleration,"
How about Apple has another supplier for iPad 2? How about Hon Hai makes products for Microsoft-PC's, etc. and iPad 2 is sold out and eating into netbooks volumes? How about Microsoft-PC component suppliers from Japan aren't shipping? Why does he take his delusions out on Apple? He admits that he was guessing. He needs to be fired and JMP Securities sued for the loss in Apple stock value.
Fail Fail Fail, this go it out to lunch and way off. He's gambling, hoping to be the one guy who is right for sticking his neck out. Guillotine indeed.
Guana bases his downgrade on partial extrapolations. Foxconn is not Apple.no company can consistently provide the numbers Apple has over the past 4 years. with that said, their products do consistently deliver what they should, high quality, descent pricing, and most importantly, they work as advertised. Gauna is just another silly little boy freaking out, Guano's predictions are Guano.
I am not the kind of person who yells "Manipulation" anytime someone puts in a call I do not agree with. Yet here is a call of such proportions based on such idiotic, superficial and speculative data, that I really have to question the analyst's motives.
What a perfect time to come in with a manipulative trick such as this to drive the price down, when there is so much uncertainty about the Japan crisis. If he had pointed to disruption in supplies from Japan causing uncertainty as to supplies, I might have given a bit of credence to his remarks. But slowdown at "the notable deceleration in its primary manufacturing partner Hon Hai (Foxconn) that was emerging even prior to the amplified uncertainty created by developments in Japan." Says who?
Everything Apple is selling is flying off the shelves faster than they can produce them. The EPS is at a very low level, and if you back out cash then it is at an incredibly low level.
As I said above, I have never seen a call that looks more like a classic manipulation call then this one. What a shame that analysts do not have to take responsibility for their calls!
Who is this idiot, Guana? What happened to Mark Moskowitz @ JP Morgan?
Time to buy
I just look at it as an opportunity to buy the stock at an undervalued price... Thank you Guana
@ ReadTheNewsMuchLately
Android is not a manufacturer. Have YOU read the news lately? Apple has the largest profits. It makes more money in profit on phones than does Nokia. Many companies have to divvy up the Android $ - Apple get ALL of the iOS $.
Even in 3rd place Apple makes more than any other company. Your arguments are very naive.
Yeah , I didn't stay at holiday inn express, but I've been flying for 12 days straight between us & Europe. IVE SEEN ONE-Yes 1- xoom, but a gazillion iPads iPods iPhones MacBook pros etc. The pas don't even mention anything BUT iproducts. Thx for lowering the stock so I can buy more!....:)
That article is erroneous. It was based on Advertising tracking which is inaccurate.
"Study: Mobile Ad-Tracking Systems Are "Blind" To 80 Percent Of Apple iOS Devices"
Erick Schonfeld
This guy must either have been drunk or a moron! The whole world knows how hot iPad2 is now, maybe he lives in a cave? He also contradict in his note here issuing a downgrade while phraising Apple sales. What the hell is that?
thank god this guys not my broker. must be trying to
make a name for himself.. what planet is this guy living on????
apple is going to 500
Fed Ex Just delivered my ipad2!! I should thank this guy for doing his job knocking the stock down, now I can get a lot more at a lesser price. Thanks DUDE!!!
That's the problem with the market. Some ANALyst nobody's heard of, downgrades a stock and the price drops. On the good side it does present a buying opportunity which I take advantage of as I'm sure so do his friends. Then in a week he'll upgrade it and they can all sell.
Don't forget options exp on Fri. This guy just waited for his opportunity to downgrade, earthquake, tsunami, radiation, middle east. If this guy had any guts he would have done this on a day when the markets were up 2%. Its all see through buddy, but thanks anyhow!!
This should be looked into. Very possibly market manipulation could be at hand. I'd say if you have Apple stock keep it and buy more.
If you have concerns then do your homework. Spend a week studying evert site you can find about Apple as a company and how it designs, develops, tests and introduces a new product to the market and then how it continues do develop that product.
Learn how the following Apple products began and developed, their complete history:
2. iPod
3. iPhone
4. iPad
They all followed the same path and their quality and success has not been met by any other single company. Note that Apple designs and develops and the other copy. The iPad has been ten years in development. The copy companies waited until the iPad was launched and so far there are no competitors with anything buy vapourpromises and poor qualities that do not do well or are incomplete releases (Xoom is only partially released).
Start with John Gruger's "Daring Fireball".
Seems every time Apple deserves a stock increase, ie massively successful introduction of iPad2, something happens to knock the stock. This dimwit. Earthquakes. Egypt. But yet it still moves up up up eventually.
HOn Hai manufactures PCs (desktop, laptop, netbooks) and game consoles for H-P, Dell, and Sony; possibly more.
Hon Hai manufactures handsets for Nokia and electronic equipment for CSCO.
Hon Hai also manufactures Apple products.
It has been clear that the PC growth is slowing and netbook sales has crashed. So this will have material impact on Hon Hai's financials. For anyone to simply assume that Hon Hai slowing down automatically means Apple is not doing well is beyond logic.
This analysts is either manipulating the market, extremely lazy or completely incompetent.
Here's my conspiracy theory:
Apple traded right above its 50-day sma yesterday until about 5-10 minutes before close. Someone sold (short) a bunch to push it just below that number for close (look at the chart). Perfect timing to issue an analyst downgrade to have maximum downside effect on the stock. I'd seriously check to see who the large sellers were yesterday in the last 5 minutes, and whether they have any connection to this analyst or his firm.
Just another jealous half ass analyst that did not take advantage of AAPL when it was $25,$100,$200,or $300 per share. Harvard maybe?
No other company has Apple's stats: no debt, $40 billion in cash, and an electronics franchise like no other. Over 300 million installed base on it's iPod and iPhone products alone. Another 20 million on the iPad. Take this dip as a. Uy opportunity. Trust me, I bought AAPL at 87 and look at it now!
My friends told me about — BlackwhiteCupid. C' 0- M —–told It's the best place to meet black white singles. Come in and stay a while. Complete your profile. Post a message, a picture of yourself and check out the photo galleries.
Give it a try, you will find someone you like there… ;)
Still trying to pump that dog of a stock you bought? Sorry, but it's a lost cause, pal. Have you seen a chart for your investment recently? It looks like the altitude trace of a plane crash. Nice pick, idiot.
well in this industry you don't make a name by following the crowd... on another i just ordered 3 ipads
I support the theory that this analyst (or his firm) have a very large short position on apple, and they needed to recover some money. So nice to be an analyst and decide the faith of a company, to make some money. I wonder if the SEC is investigating this guy.
Fortune just said the wifi-only Xoom is coming next week. Hmmm. Shady analyst says Apple may be constrained on manufacturing. Fortune tells us THE SAME DAY the Xoom is coming. You don't suppose some stupid investor with a pile of MMI (Xoom) options is trying to sucker rubes into buying Xooms? Xoom's, so far, aren't moving, priced at double what they are worth, from what I hear.
Analyst reports and Morningstar ratings are for fools.
Just like Kramer! Driving the price down to acquire more shares!
You are all clearly smarter than this analyst. Don't waste your time posting critical comments. Buy more shares!
I call mr. guana a "useful idiot".
Thank you for making me buy aapl again.
Now,please you can get lost and never to be heard again.
Polygraph with cattle prod for Guano. There is no way someone outside the mailroom, even at a third tier bucket shop, is dumb enough to believe what he wrote.
