Comments about Cowen 9 Drawer Nail Head Chest:
This is a unique, fun dresser built with good quality materials. The drawers are not huge, but a reasonable amount of less bulky items can fit well into them. The legs at the bottom complete the look. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars was price, but overall a very good value for the look. The color is true to the picture and given the fact I was purchasing it more for design than function, I was pleasantly surprised with the functionality of the dresser.

The Landmark JDRF Continuous Glucose Monitoring Randomized Trials: a Look Back at the Accumulated Evidence
Jaeb Center for Health Research, Tampa, FL 33647, USA.Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research (Impact Factor: 3.02). 04/2012; 5(4):380-7. DOI: 10.1007/s12265-012-9364-9
Source: PubMed
Despite improvements for management of type 1 diabetes (T1D), patients have difficulty achieving glycated hemoglobin (A1c) levels recommended by the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT). Two multicenter randomized trials were conducted to evaluate benefit of using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) with standard glucose monitoring for T1D management. The primary study evaluated benefits of CGM in 322 patients with A1c >7.0%. The secondary study evaluated 129 patients with A1c <7.0%. In the primary study, CGM resulted in improvements in A1c at 6 m in subjects >25 years, but not those <25. However, all subjects using CGM regularly showed benefit. Improved A1c did not come with increased severe hypoglycemia as seen in the DCCT, and benefit was sustained over 1 year. In the secondary study, CGM use helped subjects maintain target A1c levels with reduced exposure to biochemical hypoglycemia. The data collected allowed for other analyses of important factors in T1D management.
Article: Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Youth with Type 1 Diabetes: 12-Month Follow-Up of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Continuous Glucose Monitoring Randomized Trial[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in the pediatric population is not well characterized. We have evaluated the use of CGM over a 12-month interval in youth with type 1 diabetes (TID) and have provided a description of CGM use. Eighty subjects 8-17 years old with T1D and baseline hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) >or=7.0% used CGM as part of a 6-month randomized trial and subsequent 6-month extension study. Outcomes included frequency of CGM use, HbA1c levels, rate of severe hypoglycemia, and a CGM satisfaction scale. Seventy-six (95%) of 80 subjects were using CGM after 6 months (median use = 5.5 days/week) compared with 67 (84%) after 12 months (median use = 4.0 days/week). The 17 subjects using CGM >or=6 days/week in month 12 had substantially greater improvement from baseline in HbA1c than did the 63 subjects using CGM <6 days/week in month 12 (mean change - 0.8 +/- 0.6% vs. +0.1 +/- 0.7%, P < 0.001). They also reported greater satisfaction with use of CGM (P = 0.001). The incidence of severe hypoglycemic events was low during the 12 months of the study irrespective of the amount of CGM use. In youth with T1D, frequency of use decreases over time. Individuals who use CGM on a near-daily basis can have substantial improvement in glycemic control.

Everything You Never Knew You Wanted to Know About Berlin And Kreuzberg
This wonderful piece was written by Friedrich (later also Frederick) Hollaender, an extremely talented Jewish musician and composer born in the UK but with the peak of his career in Berlin and after 1933 in the US.
Hollaender was also the author of many of Dietrich´s most famous songs (e.g. "Falling in Love Again – Can´t Help It" from the 1930 Blue Angel) and can be seen accompanying Dietrich on the piano in Billy Wilder´s Foreign Affair. "Ruins if Berlin" is part of its soundtrack – Hollaender wrote hundreds of film scores starting at the beginning of the 1930s in Berlin, continuing during the many years he spent in the USA and working on new productions (also stage ones) after his return to Germany in 1956 until his death in Munich in 1976. In 1960 he made a cameo appearances in Wilder´s One, Two, Three (as the Kapellmeister or the "chapel master").
In the film Marlene Dietrich plays a cabaret singer suspected of having been a mistress of some of the highest rank Nazis during the war. As Erika von Schlütow she is just what she always was: elegant, mysterious, unforgettable.
Here is the song she sings in the film about the city she left and like millions of others could never return to. To reflect the new situation of Germany´s capital, its division among four allied powers, it is sung in four language as well: German, English, Russian and French.
The video material shows what was left of it in 1945.
Amidst the ruins of Berlin
Trees are in bloom as they have never been
Sometimes at night you feel in all your sorrow
A perfume as of a sweet tomorrow.
That's when you realize at last
They won't return the phantoms of the past.
A brand new spring is to begin
Out of the ruins of Berlin.
In den Ruinen von Berlin,
Fangen die Blumen wieder an zu blühn,
Und in der Nacht spürst Du von allen Seiten,
Einen Duft als wie aus alten Zeiten.
Dans les ruines de Berlin
Les arbres en fleurs parfument ton chemin.
I na razwálina Berlina,
Nacnátsja nowaja wesná.

Breast cancer survivors may have better information about what exercises are and are not safe for them.
And women could have a new resource to help them choose whether to undergo genetic testing that can determine their risk of developing the disease.
Three researchers at local universities are working on those projects -- just a small part in the nation's multi-million dollar endeavor to find better treatments for breast cancer and help the women and men affected by it.
"We don't know where the next breakthrough is going to come from, so that is why we have to invest," said
Researchers pursue every avenue
This year, nearly 40,000 women will die from breast cancer and another 300,000 will develop it in some form, according to the
Some will experience the most aggressive type -- called triple-negative by doctors -- that is currently being studied in one of 20 laboratories dedicated to breast cancer at
Some will become resistant to common treatments, a problem being studied in one of 20 breast cancer research labs at the
And some will develop tumors that spread into their lungs, which has been the target of Cambronero's research at
Cambronero said if breast cancer cannot be eradicated completely, at least he hopes his research will be able to ensure it does not spread, so it can be treated like a chronic disease, such as diabetes.
"The long-term is to try to prevent metastasis," which he said is what kills patients. "The very long-term is to try and see if we can contain the disease," he said.
'More information... is critical'

"The tutor appears to help women better understand the issues," he said. "And also make better decisions around genetic testing."
'On the cusp'
Breast cancer survivor
"For me, I think research is very important in understanding and curing breast cancer. How my cancer was treated is different than someone else years ago," she said.
Discoveries in labs and clinical trials have already changed the way doctors detect, treat and predict breast cancer.
In the 1970s, there was just one accepted surgical option: mastectomy. Only one randomized trial had tested mammograms as an early way to detect breast cancer; combination chemotherapy was in its early stages of research; and no one had identified the genes that put a person at greater risk of breast cancer, according to the
Today, doctors prefer to do a lumpectomy followed by radiation; mammograms are routine; combination chemotherapy is standard; and several genes associated with breast cancer have been identified, according to the institute.
And the future promises "more effective and less toxic" treatments for breast cancer, the organization says.
Shapiro says the progress comes in "incremental" stages. "It's not like one day we don't have a cure and one day we're curing the disease," he said.
But, after more than 23 years of work in the field, Shapiro said he is more hopeful than ever that researchers are making progress.
"I think the future is very bright," he said. "I think that we're on the cusp of something great. More effective treatments. More cures. The next 25 years will be even more fantastic in terms of what we can actually do for people who have this disease."

Today's medical students are not learning enough about patient safety, the importance of teamwork and communication, and safety science, according to a new white paper released by the Lucian Leape Institute at the National Patient Safety Foundation on Wednesday.
The report, Unmet Needs: Teaching Physicians to Provide Safe Patient Care, details 12 recommendations for reforming the current medical education curricula to incorporate these vital aspects of providing safe patient care.
"It's apparent to most of us that the major challenge in moving ahead in improving patient safety has been getting physicians up to speed, teaching physicians the science of safety, and the skills they need to make healthcare safe," said Lucian Leape, MD, adjunct professor of health policy at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, during a press conference Wednesday. "We need to start earlier in medial school, and that's what this is all about."
The report was based on three Roundtable sessions attended by 40 leading experts in medical education, patient safety, healthcare, and healthcare improvement. The report, which is the first in a series on identified priorities, comes 10 years after the release of To Err is Human, the groundbreaking Institute of Medicine report on preventable medical errors.
One main point to come out of the Roundtable discussions was that graduate medical education has focused mostly on clinical knowledge and the science necessary to practice medicine. However, that is not enough for today's complex healthcare system.
"Medical students need to learn the science of safety—why people make mistakes and how to design our systems to prevent them, they need to learn about the practice of safety—how we apply that knowledge in actual practice in our safe systems, and they need to learn about the culture of safety—how we create a work environment that makes that possible," said Leape.
One of the reasons that some graduate medical students leave their residencies unequipped with leadership and communication skills is the toxic atmosphere in which they learn. Many hospitals have struggled to create a culture of safety, an environment that encourages staff members to speak up when they see something going wrong, according to the white paper.
Some of the physicians in charge of teaching the next generation of doctors use intimidating tactics and disruptive behavior in their everyday practice of medicine, which teaches residents a lack of professionalism, the authors added.
"Not only are there the basic science elements of patient safety, but there are also the other skills … teamwork, communication, conflict resolution, leadership—elements that other high reliability organizations train from day one to their environment, trainees, and learners," said David Mayer, MD, associate professor of anesthesiology and associate dean for curriculum at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago, and a member of the Roundtables, during the press conference.
"Things like mindfulness, calling for help when uncertain—those are signs of a culture of safety outside of healthcare, where in healthcare they are still looked at as signs of weakness that have to be addressed. We need to change the way we teach the next generation of providers," he added.
The report calls on the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) to use their leveraging powers to improve patient safety training for medical graduate students. Additionally, the report calls for the creation of new standards by both of these groups, which would take safety science into consideration.

No. 19 Gonzaga survives in overtime
PHILADELPHIA — Gonzaga needed overtime to deny Saint Joseph's its biggest win in four years.
Matt Bouldin scored 16 points, including the go-ahead free throws in overtime, to help No. 19 Gonzaga hold off Saint Joseph's 70-65 on Thursday night.
Austin Daye scored 17 points and David Pendergraft had 13 for the Bulldogs (6-1), who needed a late rally in regulation for the thrilling win and to take the overall series lead in the battle of the small Jesuit universities.
Pat Calathes led the Hawks (3-2) with 24 points and Ahmad Nivins scored 14. The Hawks battled back from a 17-point deficit in the first half to take the lead late in the second.
Even with a frenzied sellout crowd rallying on the Hawks, they failed to hold on down the stretch in regulation. It came back to cost them in overtime.
Nivins missed two free throws with 1:32 left in overtime and the game tied at 61.
Bouldin made both of his attempts from the line on the next possession and Daye pumped his fist when his jumper gave the Bulldogs a four-point lead. Micah Downs made two free throws with 20 seconds left that sealed the win.
With Gonzaga clinging to a two-point lead and only 30 seconds left in regulation, Jeremy Pargo was whistled for an offensive foul. Tasheed Carr, a 55 percent free-throw shooter, made two from the line that tied the game at 59-all with 10.3 seconds to go.
The Bulldogs missed two shots to send the game into OT.
The Hawks got there by blowing a six-point lead with 3 1/2 minutes left in regulation and that cost them their first win over a Top 25 team since March 2004.
Calathes screamed in celebration after he was fouled on a thunderous baseline jam in front of a crazed student section. He made the free throw for a 53-47 lead with 5:07 left.
A timeout was a perfect spot for the SJU faithful to break out their "The Hawk Will Never Die!" chant. The front row of the student section also unfurled a banner of their famed slogan.
The celebration was a bit premature.
The cross country series has become one of the more competitive rivalries for both programs. The series was knotted at two wins each and none of the first four games (all played since 2001) had been decided by more than eight points.
The Bulldogs, who played a near-flawless first 10 minutes of the game, looked lost most of the rest of the way. They played loose with the ball throughout the second half and slumped in a 1-for-15 stretch from the field that saw the Hawks rally and take the lead.
The Hawks went ahead for the first time when Rob Ferguson's 3-pointer made it 43-42 and sent the sellout crowd into a frenzy.
The Bulldogs turned the ball over on two straight possessions and Calathes converted the second into a layup for a 45-42 lead. Calathes would make two free throws to give him 19 points and put the Hawks up five.
The 3,200-seat Alumni Fieldhouse was sold out as usual and absolutely rocking in the biggest game to hit Hawk Hill since Jameer Nelson and Delonte West formed the backcourt for the top-ranked Hawks four seasons ago. Students snaked around the gym more than two hours before tip to snare the best bleacher seat in the house and the tight game gave this one a late-season atmosphere.

Stop St. Judes Raccoon Hunt Fundraiser!
Raccoons will be hunted for a competition to raise money for St. Judes hospital. They will be treed using AKC coonhounds. Please put this to a stop! The Mothers, if killed, will leave behind their orphaned newborns, leaving them to starve in the brush. St. Judes needs to stop accepting blood money, and find another way to fundraise! The Hospital denies injury of the raccoons, but we know what "Tree-ing" means: The coon hounds chase the raccoon up a tree, the hunter fires a round into the raccoons rear end, he falls to the ground, and the hunter allows the hounds to rip apart the raccoon....... This cannot happen next year. We need to Mobilize, Take this further than your internet screen, print this off, take it into the city tell all of your friends and family and tell them to spread the word. We need to be writing letters to the board of directors to the AKC and St. Judes. Explain to them that you will not give them anymore money if this continues. How do you think the children on St. Judes would react if they knew this is how money was being raised? .. Tell everyone! Spead the word, and not just to "the choir" ... THIS NEEDS TO GO FURTHER THAN THE REHAB COMMUNITY !! .. Share it on all sorts of forums, make t-shirts... shout it out loud! THE COON HUNT NEEDS TO END!

April 30, 1932 ~ April 20, 2013
"Always a great listener, Joyce made each one
of her children truly believe they were the favorite."
Joyce M. (Lockwood) Chard, 80, died peacefully at her home in the Lakeshore area of Vancouver, WA. She was born April 30, 1932 to Glenn Sr. and Gladys Lockwood in Olympia, WA, the third of five children. She grew up in Hoodsport, WA where she attended elementary school and graduated from Shelton High School in 1950, residing there until 1953.
Joyce and Jim would later move east of Battle Ground and started Chard Hardwoods where she would scale the logs. In 1964, the family moved the business to Kalama and settled into a new home in Salmon Creek. The flood of 1965 took their mill and several years later they moved to the Lakeshore area. Joyce would go on to be a bookkeeper for two forest products equipment manufacturing companies: Drying Systems and Joyco. She also owned and operated a kite shop, The Weather Front.
During her lifetime, Joyce enjoyed genealogy, painting, photo developing, travel and reading. Joyce was a Master Gardener and always had a great vegetable garden. She loved cooking outdoors whether is was on a BBQ grill or an open fire. Joyce enjoyed weekly gatherings with a close group of friends for a glass of wine. She did a cartwheel every year on her birthday until she was in her 70's.
She was loved by all who knew her
and she will be missed.
Joyce is survived by her husband of 62 years, James W. Chard; sister, Vicki Melton; daughters, Susan (Christiansen), Julie (Siebel) and Kathryn (Scott); sons, David and Jim III; 17 grandchildren; and 18 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Nancy (Whitchurch) and Dorothy (Barnaby); brother, Glenn Jr.; as well as granddaughter, April Chard; and great-grandson, Samuel Goodenough.
Joyce donated her body to OHSU to be used for research. The family would like to thank the staff of Hospice Southwest and Mary Young, for their loving care of their wife, mother and grandma in her last weeks of life.

Kat Arthur & Her Hellkats, Pearl Harbour, The She Riffs, Alice Bag
Tonight's jam-packed bill features several fiery divas who got their start in the late-'70s West Coast punk scene, but the really exciting thing is that they're coming up with vital new music instead of just coasting on past glories. Kat Arthur is best known as the leader of the hard-rocking soul-punks Legal Weapon, but with the Hellkats she opens up her mighty pipes to belt out the blues with backing by Steve Reed's mighty and muscular bass lines. Pearl Harbour used to tour and collaborate with The Clash, but that was then, and this is definitely now. Backed by an especially tight and powerful band, Ms. Harbour continues to write hard, rootsy new tunes like "Beg for It," where she puts a misbehaving lover in his place with stylishly sassy aplomb. The She Riffs feature former members of such beloved Arizona garage-punk bands as The Peeps and Hell on Heels, and they've recently been collaborating with Bags chanteuse Alice Bag, who actually puts a poppy spin to smart tunes like "Size 16." Plus, Michael Van London & the Big Bad Pony and No Small Children.

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)
The Graduate Certificate Program in Advanced Practice Nursing for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (GCPAPN-PMHNP) offers an opportunity for nurses who have a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree to develop the knowledge and skills to broaden and deepen their psychiatric mental health and/or nurse practitioner competencies for PMHNP practice. Individualized plans of study supplement prior coursework and prepare students for the American Nurses Credentialing Center PMHNP exam.
In addition to satisfying the minimum general Graduate Certificate Program admissions requirements, the PMHNP graduate certificate is available to any nurse who already has a DNP in nursing and is particularly relevant to:
- advanced practice nurses with practice and educational background in psychiatric nursing who wish to become Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners, and/or

Through the stories in The Greatest Generation, you'll relive with ordinary men and women, military heroes, famous people of great achievement, and community leaders how these extraordinary times forged the values and provided the training that made a people and a nation great.
©1998 Tom Brokaw
"Why we appreciate this generation"
Finally we have a book that honors this generation who experienced the toughest trials of the 20th century. As a son of a family from this generation, I had long noticed there was always something special about them. This generation is very different from the generations that were born from around 1950 onward, and Tom helps us to understand why. The world events of the time shaped them into who they are. I also think Tom effectively captures the most admirable qualities of this generation in his words. For those of us who did not experience the events of the 1930s and 1940s, Tom's book will give you a new respect for those who did.
For those who are sensitive to foul language, realize that there are a few terms in the chapter related to Art Buchwald. It is not excessive, but you should realize it is there if you happen to have some children who may listen with you. It's the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
I'm sure everyone has heard Tom's voice from news broadcasts, so you will know he speaks clearly and with conviction. It's a big plus that Tom did his own narration for his work.
I recommend this book for everyone born after 1950. You will gain an appreciation for this generation who lived through the early-to-mid 20th century events you read in your history book, and you will hope that your generation will also follow their example.
"Yes, they were that great"
Having been parented by two of the greatest generation, I enjoyed learning more about what they went through. All too often, they refuse to talk about what happened to them during their amazingly challenging lifetimes, WWI, the great depression, WW2. They have suppressed their experiences or allowed their reflections to fade from their memories. There is still much for us to learn from our parents. I thank Brokaw for helping to reveal some of their stories to us.
"Great book "
Great book, But does not have all the chapters.
Clearly to understand it's good book
"Perhaps a great read for the upcoming election"
Yes, the stories are very inspirational especially being read by Mr. Brokaw, making them so much more personal.
The patriotism and pride of this generation. Being born in 1946, I feel a very strong relationship with the generation, albeit a little removed. Not old enough to have witnessed World War II, but not able to really associate with the "plugged-in" generation. My sense of well-being is more relatable to the previous generation, and I feel I have a more grounded feeling for my freedoms and the responsibilities to those freedoms. Maybe it is due to not wanting to repeat the past, rather than always wanting more, without realizing the price to be paid.
All of them were, however, I especially liked the couple that had been married for so long. Also the stories about the African/Americans and the Japanese were very thought provoking, in relation to all the talk about immigration and equality during this pre-election period. But I really can't say that one story was more compelling than another. All brought a tear to my eye in each story.
Inspiration for America's greatness.
Great book (listen). Will listen again, maybe more than once! Grounding.
"Too many politicians"
I was most interested in the extraordinary experiences of regular people. The stories of over blown politicians were a little too much like a paid political statement.
Brokaw is an exceptional author and reader!
Make me proud to be an American!
Wish audible had unabridged version.
Tom Brokaw gave a fitting tribute to the heroes of the WWII generation. This book is a collection of individual stories from ordinary citizens as well as national figures who gave so much to our country. However, this book does not gloss over the negative aspects of the racism of the time. Brokaw does not forget the struggles of African-Americans or the internment of Japanese-Americans. Finally, since Brokaw is the narrator, this book is easy to listen to due to his television voice.
"good read"
Good book. have a lot of respect for this selfless generation. Grateful for the lives that were sacrificed on my behalf.
"Well Written...Great Narration"
Tom Brokaw did a great job of weaving in a variety of people and their experiences. Hopefully this book helps retain the memories of this truly Great Generation.
Tom Brokaw is an excellent narrator.
I think the common thread of the veterans noting they felt they were/are owed nothing and their maintaining strong values and strong work ethics.
"Great documentary"
Some interesting insights into the attitudes of that generation regarding family and children, the terrors of war and hardships endured both at home and abroad. A collection of anecdotes with somewhat romanticized commentary doesn't make a great book. I would love to see a proper documentary on television but as a book, the abridged version is quite sufficient to get the gist of the author's views. The bit I dislike most was the adulating tones on the war stories of George W.Bush and Ronald Reagan. Their stories paled in significance to the other people in the book and belied a slight bias of the author in relating these stories.
No. He's a great commentator but not such a great writer of books.
Nothing. The voice was clear and in keeping with the nature of the epic stories he had to tell.

My son is 10 and I think his voice is already starting to change. I'm worried — and he's self-conscious — because none of the other boys his age are experiencing this. Is he hitting puberty too soon?
- Jillian
When boys and girls begin puberty, the larynx (voice box) grows larger and thicker. It happens in both boys and girls, but the change is more evident in boys. Girls' voices only deepen by a couple of tones and the change is barely noticeable. Boys' voices, however, start to get significantly deeper.
When a boy reaches puberty, the production of testosterone increases (just as estrogen production increases in girls). Testosterone, which is produced in the testicles and then travels through the blood throughout the body, causes the cartilage of his larynx to grow. Along with the larynx, the vocal cords grow significantly longer and become thicker. In addition, the facial bones begin to grow. Cavities in the sinuses, the nose, and the back of the throat grow bigger, creating more space in the face and giving the voice more room to resonate.
Each child develops at a different pace, so a boy's voice might change anywhere between ages 11 and 14½, usually just after the major growth spurt. Some boys' voices change gradually, whereas others' change quickly.
If your son is concerned, stressed, or embarrassed about the sound of his voice, let him know that it's only temporary and that everyone goes through it to some extent. After a few months, he'll likely have the resonant, deep, and full voice of an adult!

Altria (MO) - a recession proof high yield dividend stock
Given the fact that MO is not a growth company, the stock is spotting a P/E of 11 and a generous dividend yield of 7.8%. Some of Altria's biggest fans also like to add that the company has increased its dividends for 42 consecutive years. Given the fact that 97% of stocks returns since 1871 have come from reinvested dividends, it is not surprise that this dividend growth tobacco stock was the best performer in the S&P 500 for the 50-year period from 1957 to 2007.
Even though tobacco sales are decreasing, most cigarette manufacturers could afford to offset sales declines by boosting price tags for its products. Since advertising tobacco products is illegal in the US, it would be almost impossible for newcomers to compete against Altria and erode its market share.
Another important asset that the US based Altria owns is a 28.5% interest in UK based SAB Miller, which is not only one of the largest brewers in the world, but also one of the largest bottlers of Coca Cola products worldwide. Altria's stake is worth about 4.26 billion dollars per the company's balance sheet as of 12/31/2008.
The Altria bears cite several reasons why one should not own stock in this tobacco giant. First of all the Altria that was the best performer in the S&P 500 is much different than todays Altria. The company spun out Kraft Foods in 2007 and Phillip Morris International in 2008. Without the growth of the international tobacco markets in the emerging market economies where Phillip Morris International has a dominant role and a lower probability of lawsuits, Altria is stuck with the US market, which is in a decline.
Another reason that Altria bears cite is that the integration of UST might cause liquidity problems for the tobacco conglomerate. Historically, the stocks stop increasing their payments to shareholders because they are saddled with debt after acquisitions in their field. Altria financed its UST acquisition by a bridge loan for 4.3 billion as well as a 6.8 bln in loans with maturities varying from 18 months to 30 years and coupons ranging from 7.125% to 9.95%. Altria intends to access the public debt market in 2009 to refinance the bridge loan borrowings with long-term debt.
Another risk for Altria is litigation, that could potentially wipe out the whole company. Since tobacco is a heavily taxed product however, a complete ban on its use will be detrimental for state and federal budgets.
The company recently announced its 4Q 2008 results, where its earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.48, unchanged versus 2007.
Given the current economic environment, Altria is suspending its $4.0 billion 2008-2010 share repurchase program, $1.2 billion of which was completed in 2008. Altria believes it is in the best interest of shareholders to preserve financial flexibility while it completes the financing of the UST transaction. This change gives Altria the opportunity to monitor economic impacts on its business and protect its investment grade credit rating. During 2009, Altria intends to focus on earnings per share growth and continuing its strong dividend policy. The company recognizes the importance of share repurchases to investors and intends to evaluate them again in early 2010.
I am bullish on Altria but only if one holds one share of Phillip Morris international for every MO share that they own. Altria has been successful in integrating very well companies it has acquired, so UST's acquisition should be beneficial to shareholders. Furthermore tobacco companies are generally immune from economic fluctuations since smoking is a habit that is difficult to stop. It could be argued that during recessionary environments more people start smoking and less get the courage to quit.
One could always snap tobacco shares on the cheap, as many investors fear that an adverse litigation could potentially wipe out cigarette manufacturers. If this happen however, many states will lose billions in revenues from tobacco giants like Altria.
The high dividend payout is definitely a warning sign, which would hurt the growth of future dividend increases. If the company decides to go one step further after suspending stock buyback program until 2010 and cuts its dividends I will be the first one to head for the exits.

Great background on tobacco stocks. I think the risk of complete insolvency due to litigation is primarily what's made these stocks such great investments over the years. The mere fear of this eventuality has consistently scared a majority of investors away (as well as the now infamous "socially responsible" investment funds), allowing for an above market-yield for given risk. On this basis, investors that are long term holders are rewarded with what's essentially a high yield bond at rates high enough that they'd usually have to incur significant risk elsewhere to achieve.ReplyDelete
Disclosure: Long VGR - same sector.
You have summarized well the reason why tobacco stocks have outperformed in the long run.
The market is so crazy right now, I don't think I want to take anymore risks!ReplyDelete
If you invest in tobacco or alcohol stocks, your risks will be lower. People tend to drink and smoke more during a recession.
Thank you for this article.ReplyDelete
How much of a concern is the recent announcement that the administration is going after tobacco again for racketeering? I would be interested if anyone has thoughts on the likelihood of the Supreme Court ruling against the tobacco companies.
Also, is PM immune from the lawsuits because they no longer sell in the US?
I am a holder of MO and PM.

I just hope some of such developments as the bloombox are soon enough to prevent the onset of Global Warming!
What is needed is a clear-eyed financial analysis of the product. From the information posted on the CBS site (in tandem with the 60 Minutes feature), it appears that the units that have been tested at Google and EBay cost about $600-700K per unit and save $100K savings over 9 months per unit). But the information provided is too sketchy to draw any real conclusions, and there is no information on the input costs (natural gas)!!
bloombox are most needed in india so pl. do the needful mr sreedhar.
I dont know about US but for India this can be a god send. Rest assured KR..power hungry India is eagerly waiting to snap up your Bloom Boxes
How is different from the products manufactured by Fuelcell Energy INC. out of Connecticut ?
What is the possibility that Bloom is using an accounting trick in order to MAXIMIZE the per unit price for a couple of years in order to realize the greatest benefit from subsidies? With a 20% subsidy from the State of CA, and a 30% rebate the federal gov. It seems to make sense that maxmizing the price that they or the customer can get a rebate on would make a lot of sense.
I am no accountant, but with the amount of pre-ipo money that this company has, i would bet that some of the finest minds (Quants) on wall street have come up with a way to create some type of "default swap" that allows the customer to actually spend very little, the tax payers spend a lot, and Bloom to do very well.
As far as i know, the only thing that keeps these incentives in check for the solar market is that there are enough competitors out there that the price per watt operates in an "efficient market". The same cant be said about Bloom boxes.
After all, if the Bloom box only cost 300k, the the state and fed would only pay $150k in rebates. With a price of 700 to 800k they are paying between $350k and 400k.
Would what i am describing actually be a scam? Well, yes. Do i hope it is? Do i hope that these units actually cost much much less and some smart accountants are leveraging these rebates in order to make a boat load of money?
Actually YES. Because that would mean that bloom boxes could represent a real opportunity for US energy independence.
When bringing new technology to market the prototype units are expensive because they represent the few survivors of the development process and are literally hand made. Later, when the process is known and well defined it can be automated and the cost of production plummets. First unit costs are usually 50 or 100 times higher than what it will cost to produce the unit when the process is put into mass production.
If each component of a race car has to be individually hand made, and commercial components can not be used, the car would cost something like 3 million dollars a unit.
I have no inside knowledge but the chip stack in the Bloom box appears to be much much simpler than the
chip in your computer, and therefore much much easier to mass produce with a high yield of usable parts.
Also the catalyst in the ink is said not to contain any of the expensive rare earths, so is should be possible to produce the parts inexpensively in bulk.
That said, if the unit operates at 1700F, It will need a well designed enclosure, insulation that is resistant to thermal fatigue, and electronics that are robust and will last for the life of the unit, or which are replaced designed so that they can be changed out periodically.
So I think that the idea that once the process is put into full mass production, that 5 kw units can be sold for without subsidy $3000 is unlikely.
I think in reality, that a 5KW unit will probably cost closer to 6000$US, but the incremental cost of doubling the power will not be double that, so a 10KW unit might cost 7-8K$ rather than 12K.
And that is not half bad.
Release disruptive technology!
Check out the energy budget of the entire system. They have to burn hydrogen with their gas to make electrcity. Sure, if one uses hydrogen with natural gas it will burn more efficiently simply because you are burning the hydrogen as opposed to the natural gas. I can not believe there are so many people who are dumb enough to believe this guy. He is careful to stay away from talking about the energy budget. That is the key to this joke on wheels now that 60 minutes did not do their homework. I had some respect for the show prior to the airing of this story. Not one of their people looked at the entire energy budget. If I have to use electricity to burn my natual gas then where is the savings. They think that if the major utilities could do this without using electrcity all would be fine. This is nothing more than a carnie side show bob bamboozle.
The 60 minutes interview talked about the burning of hydrogen and it did not occur to me that they needed to burn hydrogen to get the numbers they claimed. In fact the numbers that they did claim were not that great either. They would be better off buying from PGE. Thats right PGE told them to get lost. So side show bob says we can use these in Africa. What! The same guy who spent hundreds of millions selling the segway transporter lost his shirt on this one to. I think it is time Menlo Park retired this idiot. I laugh when I think of people pushing their broker to buy shares when this nut tries to IPO the box. You thought Bernie Madoff took you for a ride-wait for this guy to take you down the primrose path. A sucker is born every minute. The SEC should step in here and go after this guy. He is being dishonest and will take lots of investment weary investors to the cleaners.

my guess their faces are covered due to being the highest of the choir, their faces are probably as bright as the sun
Interesting theory. I have always took it to mean that since they were praising God and commenting on his glory, that they were hiding their faces because they couldn't even stand to look at the most high!
that can also be true, I just based it off the Jewish testimonies about their faces being brighter than the sun and skin as bright as molten metal (I am a Catholic but I do research knowing that they are more than just "fluffy winged humans")

Perhaps the most awe-some description of a seraphim I've seen!!! Amazing work!! have you produced any prints for sale, thaf I could buy?
The link below should take you to where you can buy prints. Make sure to select the "unframed print" for a lower price.
Very impressive! What I really like in this painting, besides the angels, is the figure of prophet Isaiah. I'm a biblical studies professor at Concordia University in Montreal and I always make sure to teach my students about the strong personality of Isaiah, an energetic, bold and resolute prophet. This painting shows him as I exactly picture him in my mind. Is it possible for me to use this painting in a powerpoint presentation in one of my course, with your copyrighted name of course?
You may use my illustrations as long as you are not trying to sell anything or make a profit with it in any way
This is very nice of you. Much appreciated. And keep up the good work. I'm very impressed by your art!
Now THAT is art!
Very imposing scenario
Nice colors
Great epic work
The word seraphim, literally "burning ones", sometimes described as "serpents" (dragons maybe?). Their description of 6 wings, two to cover the face, two to fly, and two to cover their feet, burning or producing flame and light.... Sounds a lot like a fighter jet to me... Sounds like a delta wing design, two wings mainly for flight, two wings in the front for mobility (front usually next to cockpit), and stabilizing wings in the back (tail end... feet). Fire from the thrusters, producing clouds and loud "thunder" (smoke and the sound of breaking mach 1). Makes you wonder what they were really describing, amazing picture none-the-less. Great interpretation and artwork.
Interesting take. However if you read on to verse six it says " Then one of the Seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar." The use of the word "his" led me to believe these beings had the shape or form of a man. They also apparently had recognizable hands. However these things are always open to interpretation and honestly they probably look more amazing than any artist is able to truly capture. I just gave it my best shot Thanks for the compliments.
The lightning is a great touch, as well as the glowing spaces between his armor. An epic display of glorifying God in worship.
Always wondered what that would look like...O_o
God Bless.
