NEW YORK -- New York Knicks forward Metta World Peace had fluid drained from his left knee Monday, league sources told ESPNNewYork.com.
World Peace will miss Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. His status for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers is uncertain.
World Peace missed Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks with left knee soreness. When the discomfort didn't subside, the team recommended that World Peace get fluid drained from his knee, sources said.
The procedure is believed to be a minor one. World Peace, 34, is expected to return to the floor by the end of the week at the latest.
It's worth noting, though, that World Peace underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in the same knee in late March while with the Los Angeles Lakers.
He was originally expected to miss at least six weeks but returned to the court just 12 days later.
On Monday, Knicks coach Mike Woodson said World Peace would not travel with the team to Detroit due to a death in the family. His sister, Shalice Holmes-Taylor, died earlier this month.
"Our condolences goes out to his family and Metta. But he'll return soon," Woodson said.
Woodson was asked whether World Peace's knee was part of the reason for his absence, but he did not give a direct answer.
With World Peace and Tyson Chandler (fractured right fibula) out, the Knicks (3-6) figure to be compromised on defense, particularly on the interior. The Pistons feature a front line of Josh Smith (6-foot-9), Andre Drummond (6-10) and Greg Monroe (6-11). Woodson said Monday that he would consider inserting power forward Kenyon Martin into the starting lineup to give the Knicks a chance to compete with Detroit's big front line.
In other injury news, point guard Raymond Felton has been playing through hamstring soreness and, according to a report, a pinched nerve in his hip.
Felton told The New York Times that he has been taking medicine for the pinched nerve, which he said sends a shooting pain down his leg. His status for Tuesday's game against Detroit is uncertain.
If Felton can't play, backup point guard Pablo Prigioni likely will start in his place.

The Short Fic Weekly Challenge Thread!
View Single Post
Prompt: Night of the Living Prompt!: First Impressions
Characters: Ald; Quinn
Quinn on Ald
When Baras had first informed him of a new apprentice coming to further the Darth's plans on Balmorra, he was less than excited. So much so, he considered the task nothing, but another baby sitting job. When Quinn met Ald he was surprised for a number of reasons. One being that he was, in fact, not Vemrin, Baras' prized apprentice and two being that this apprentice was aloof and seemingly uncaring. And his choice of partner was downright insane. Nevertheless, Quinn sent them on their way and watched with amazement as the apprentice jumped through hoops set aflame and down a cliff without regard for the danger. Not literally, of course, that would be a rather weird mission for Baras to request, but the point remained: this apprentice was different. Baras dropped the news of his new assignment before the apprentice made it to the Arms Factory. He immediately started calculating the apprentice's strengths and weaknesses. It was, no doubt, the reason behind Baras' choice. He would finally be free of this hellhole and all it took was this odd apprentice. How fortuitous.
Ald on Quinn
When Ald first met the officer who would provide mission briefings, the man was nearly frothing at the mouth as he berated some poor underling. Frustration, anger, bitterness. All emotions drifting from the man, but his face was impassive. At least it was after he was finally done screaming at that poor bastard.
Prim, proper, respectful, boring. Ald was very nearly bored to tears by the man. He had shown some promise with the yelling and the shouting and the emotion, but now he was all business and business was boring. Kill this. Blow up that. Stab that guy. Boring, boring, boring.
He was rather delighted when the officer showed up to gloat in front of the Jedi. His ability to revel in her defeat was enjoyable and showed the man had far more depth to him than he put on. He was interesting, but he was gone now. Then, to Ald's never ending happiness, he found the officer checking out the ship as if he was waiting for him. And he was. He prostrated himself in front of Ald, pledged his loyalty, then grabbed his ever so convenient luggage and boarded the ship. A man who owed his career to Baras suddenly being promoted and "choosing" Ald as his assignment? It was a good thing Ald wanted to peel away the layers surrounding the cold appearance of the now-Captain. He was no fool, Quinn was a plant.
At least he was cute.
Guuh, I'm so bad, I haven't replied to any replies lately. I'll do those tomorrow. In the mean time, here's some Ald/Quinn studying the other.
I'll probably die if you group with me, but I'll go out with both lightsabers drawn stabbing someone in the face. Probably you, but it's cool. Forever Shenanigans!!

Beat the Quake: An Earthquake Themed Puzzle Room
Thursday, April 28th 10AM - 2PM on Bayramian Lawn - Click here to sign up now to participate in the puzzle room.
If you are unable to join the game, you can still participate by visiting our educational tables from 10AM - 2PM! Tabling will include historical earthquake displays, campus and community resources, preparedness tips and information, and semester posters presented by students in GEOL 104 Living with Earthquakes in California.
Teams of 4 will solve a series of earthquake related puzzles in the popular "escape room" format (using teamwork to solve themed puzzles in a constrained time period). The teams will have a very short period of time to prepare for the earthquake, then take appropriate action when the earthquake strikes (simulated by sound).

The mount and in fact all of Jerusalem is ours. The arabs paid no heed to the city when they had free reign over it. The King of Jordan didnt even bother to visit the domed mosque once while East Jerusalem was under Jordanian control pre '67. They desecrated both Synagogue and Church when in control and dont deserve our trust not to do it again if ever we were foolish enough to hand it over. If they want their mosque on the temple mount, we should dismantle it and give it to them brick by brick to erect somewhere else. The land under it is OURS !

Carnegie Mellon's Master Of Product Development Program Plans Expansion
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- When Carnegie Mellon University began its Master of Product Development (MPD) degree program a decade ago, it was the first of its kind, combining instruction and expertise from three world-class schools on campus. The program, a one-year graduate-level offering, takes a holistic approach toward innovation, underscoring the importance of an interdisciplinary perspective for successful product development. Now the Tepper School of Business has officially joined the School of Design and the Department of Mechanical Engineering as a third partner in oversight of this interdisciplinary degree, underscoring growing interest in the program by traditional business professionals. "The program is designed to mirror the challenges that design professionals experience in the real world," said Jonathan Cagan, Master of Product Development co-director and the Tallman and Florence Barrett Ladd Professor of Mechanical Engineering. "It is not feasible to design in a vacuum, approaching innovation from a single perspective. Today's great products and services are the innovations of teams of professionals that understand the intersection of form, functionality, logistics, marketing and consumer behavior."Joining Cagan as co-directors of the MPD program are Eric Anderson, associate professor in the School of Design and associate dean of Carnegie Mellon's College of Fine Arts, and Peter Boatwright, the Carnegie Bosch Associate Professor at the Tepper School of Business. In addition to interdisciplinary research conducted in the program, Cagan and Boatwright also have collaborated on two books, "The Design of Things to Come" and "Built to Love: Creating Products that Captivate Customers," which introduced the concept of "product emotions" and detailed the scientific process by which design teams can build the emotions into products that their customers desire. Currently, the class consists of approximately 20 students, annually. With increased interest from students with business backgrounds and new opportunities for capstone projects supplied by industry sponsors, the program is expected to grow to 30-40 students in the near future.

Has anyone looked at Canadian Insider… O 2/4/ 13 Sheldon Inwentash purchased 500k @.09.. Pine Tree Capital, Also made a purchase of 500k @.09 and Mike grabbed 50k @.09… Looks like Pine Tree and Sheldon are signaling that they are in this for the duration… I think that Mike and company want to get updated seismic Imagery so they can come up with the best possible plan for the next phase of drilling.. I for one am going to hang in here, pick up some more shares, and hold on and see how this plays out..
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Relook at PIE's updated info. Mike has now bought 79K shares. He purchased on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Pine Tree/Sheldon only bought the 500K shares on Monday. Not sure what any of it means if anything.
I would not buy 79k if i thought it had NO value
it's a start
the company should step in and buy a few shares also, there's no sense not to at this price
send out any news on your email updates
pine tree is here for the duration I would think, and I would tend to beleive they would not add shares if this was nothing to be had
Per the last email from mike the time frame for Company Share repurchase has expiered.. A new round has to be approved by the BOD. They may want to hold on to all cash until Phase 2 drilling plan is hammered out.. JMHO..

This is a fantastic experience where you will travel along ancient roads and paths that would be too difficult to find on your own. Our tour guide was wonderful, full of information about the region, both currently and historically. It was all so interesting. The wine and cheese were appreciated towards the end. On Sundays, the Appian Way is closed to traffic, so a pleasant and safe 6 hour bike ride.
Fantastico! Simone was an outstanding guide with a wealth of historic knowledge! The trip was an easy 6 hours with just a few climbs, but with the quality of mountain bike provided, not all that difficult. The catacombs, Appian Way, aquaducts, and sheep farm were definitely a day my wife and I will remember for the rest of our lives. We wish there was a longer day trip to go even farther down Via Appia Antica! Everywhere we went and viewed was a picture postcard! Grazie mille Simone!!!
This trip was a 10!!!! Mateo was a fabulous guide. The travels through the countryside right in and outside the heart of Rome are such a treat! Coming upon a field of goats with their bells around their neck creating a magical symphony was one of life's highlights! The catacombs was a bit crowded with tourists, but still an eerie and worthwhile piece of history to experience. The break of cheese and wine at a local farm was a good respite before continuing the last leg of biking. I would highly recommend this tour.
We took 7 tours with Viator, all were very good but this was most excellent. The guide Simone made the trip exceptional because of his knowledge and passion for Rome, past and present. Saw magnificent ancient Roman sites, learned a lot of interesting history and had a great time.At the end Simone took us to this very cool deli where we had the best sandwich while in Rome, met the owners and soak up the fine culture of Rome. Highly recommend this one.

Had a great day. Battled the heat but made it. Thanks Frederico for an enjoyable day. Enjoyed being out of the main tourist area and seeing the surrounding countryside. A great end to our trip.
Great!! Frederico was absolutely amazing and made this trip a highlight of our family vacation. Just with the catacombs tour guide waited for the groups and took more time. That depends on getting a good tour guide though by chance. We felt very rushed and missed some info. Bike Tour guides were great though!
This bike tour was one of our favorite activities during our trip to Italy. The guides do a wonderful job informing us about some of the sites of ancient Rome and keeping a nice relaxed pace. We loved our visit to the catacombs, the view of the ancient aqueducts, and the countryside tour. Getting outside the city walls of Rome was a fun and refreshing change. The wine and cheese stop was superb!
A fantastic tour! A great way to explore the outskirts of the city. Our guide was awesome!
This was a great tour. It is an excellent tour that takes you along the Appian Way, Catacombs, and Roman countryside/ruins. This tour lets you see much more of the Appian Way than you would see walking on your own or on a bus tour. You ride out of lively Rome and into the outskirts of the city. The tour takes you along a route that allows you to see and learn about the history of ancient Rome. When you reach the Appian Way and ride through Rome's parks to see the ruins and aqueducts, it feels like you are in the Roman countryside, but in reality you are only miles from the Colosseum and Forum, (which you will pass by on the way back to the bike store). There is plenty of time for photo breaks and to drink water from Rome's multiple fountains along the route. There is also a nice pit stop for wine and cheese. I highly recommend the 6 hour tour that goes to the catacombs. It is well worth it. If you are looking for a great experience and do not mind the excercise (it is not that strenuous), and are also seeking a tour that goes beyond the lifeless bus tours, this is for you.

We did this ride on our first morning in Rome. It was just amazing to see the country side that is so close to Rome city. It was absolutely worth doing this trip.
One of the best times in ROme! To see more of Rome outside of the city I recommend this bike tour. To see the origional aquaduct and the origional Roman streets is really a diffrent experience from Rome. Including a visit on the Catacombs was also a chilling experience. 2 tumbs up!
This tour was fabulous. My friend and I had just finished a 6 day bike tour in Tuscany and wanted another day! The bikes were great, we had a very diverse terrain from the streets of Rome to gravel roads to dirt paths. Emanuel was a terrific, informative and funny guide. The Catacombs were a highlight, but also the stop at the sheep farm to eat cheese a bread! I would recommend this tour highly. (Probably not best for young children or elderly.)
Great day biking through history with good people!
Max, our tour guide, was very friendly and informed. Our safety was a top priority for him and he made the trip fun, interesting, and educational. I would highly recommend this trip to see and do something different in Rome!
Loved this tour! Bruno, our guide has a great love for history and had so much insightful information to share with us about all the places we saw. The day was fun and enjoyable and I would highly recommend this tour!

One of the most favored things we did in Italy. We are not cyclist and I worried about the reviews stating this was strenuous...not! There were 2 or 3 steep hills but in one case, he asked us all to get off the bike and walk. He was super courteous and the sights were incredible and completely off the beaten path. I had hoped to see an aqueduct. I did...we biked between two of them till they converged for about 1/2 mile. The biggest and most welcome surprise was the tour guides knowledge of Rome and Roman history. He was an expert and so that came as a bonus. Very, very fun!
The bike tour was a nice way to see things we wouldn't normally have thought to see in Rome. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. It was also nice that the group was small.
This was perhaps the highlight of my trip to Italy. I have been to Rome 5 times and this is the first time I have done a bike tour or have seen the Appian Way. It was not only an amazing tour due to the archaeological wonders, but was one of the most beautiful areas of Rome I have ever seen. A must.
It was an incredible experience for sure! I have no previous biking experience, but I was still able to really enjoy the beautiful 6 hour tour of the Appia and the Catacombs. The sights were beautiful and our guide, Emanuele, was very fun and knowledgeable. I really liked the aperitive towards the end that allowed us to converse and really get to know each other. I definitely recommend this tour!
Really great tour, beautiful countryside, good guide.
Had a great time! Ricardo was an excellent guide. He was extremely knowledgeable on Rome's ancient history and made the trip interesting and a lot of fun.
Unbelievable! So nice to see the aquaducts, and have some exercise. Our guide Matteo was wonderful and we really enjoyed the parks, the scenery and the cheese farm. The atacombs area must. ! Highly recommended - even in the rain !!
This was the highlight of highlights on a wonderful week in Rome. The night before there was the mother of all thunderstorms over the city. The result was that when we Brits checked in at Top Bikes Rome we found that everyone else had cried off. We had our guide Riccardo to ourselves. The ride through the city was much easier than we anticipated as Riccardo made good use of crossings, lanes, the odd cycle way and parks. The Appian Way was great - with sites of ancient aristocratic estates with, in the case of Maxentius, a private version of the 'Circus Maximus'. What really took my breath away was cycling under a bridge to see the ruins of an amazing aqueduct which took water into the ancient city from distant hills. The riding is leisurely, only 20 miles in 6 hours. There are stops for visits to Catacombs and to enjoy wine and cheese at a C15 farm. The bikes were very good - of a higher standard than our own.
We did the 6hr tour and it was the best part of our Rome trip by far. My only regret is that we didn't do the other two available bike tours as well. If I had it to do all over again I would start with the Rome City Bike Tour, then do the Panoramic Bike Tour, and then the Ancient Appian Way, Catacombs and Roman Countryside Tour...maybe twice! It was that good, and so worth the money. The quality of the bikes provided was outstanding which made the ride very smooth, but for the cobblestones! We lucked out on a day with perfect weather. The views at Aquaduct Park are phenomenal, it was just gorgeous. I would probably not bring smaller children along or adults not in decent shape since it is 30km, but it really was broken up nicely by the guided stops, so don't let the length keep you from this experience. My son's and I met such nice people on our tour, and our guide was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and easy to understand. While waiting for our tour to begin we spoke to other guides returning from tours and they all seem really great. I think you cannot go wrong with this group. I highly recommend this tour!!
Weather was glorious. Route was varied and as far as possible kept on quiet roads / tracks. Richard our guide was very informative. Bikes were carbon fibre mountain bikes and were in good condition. Scenery was nice, helped by the sunshine and the wild flowers. Relaxing stop for wine and cheese on a sheep farm. Lovely break from the sightseeing in the city centre.

Book Reviews
narrative" (p. 26), the author recalls. Now, years later, the sometime secretary
turned publisher has brought out this rejected chapter as a valuable addition to
More character study than biography or scholarship, Michener treats of two
flawed icons, Santa Anna, the eagle, and Sam Houston, the raven, who seemed
moved by destiny to meet on the banks of the San Jacinto: "It was as if two
powerful birds had entered the sky within a single year . . . each circling and
gaining strength, each progressing in the consolidation of its own powers ...
They would meet only once, a clash of eighteen culminating minutes in the
spring of 1836 which would change the history of the world."
Governor of two states, president of a republic, United States senator, Hous-
ton was a character almost from fiction who died scorned by much of his con-
stituency, only to achieve heroic stature after his death. Santa Anna, owner of
vast estates, eleven times president of his nation, four times exiled for life, was
an "engaging scoundrel" who died in poverty of everything except ambition
and was buried in an obscure grave reserved for the indigent.
All this Michener recounts with the vivid turn of phrase for which he has
become famous. He concludes that Houston is a cherished symbol fondly re-
membered, while Santa Anna is "neither fondly cherished nor fondly remem-
bered but a symbol, nonetheless, of one of the most important eras of Mexico's
history" (pp. 27-28).
In his long prologue, Michener recounts the provenance of the work, which
also serves to flesh out what is more a chaptered monograph than a "book."
Regrettably he not once but twice errs in writing that the eagle and the raven
met only once, at San Jacinto, in contradiction to the scholarship of Margaret
Swett Henson. In her "Politics and the Treatment of Mexican Prisoners after
the Battle of San Jacinto" in the October 1990 issue of the Southwestern Historz-
cal Quarterly, Henson records that the day after his inauguration, President
Houston delivered in person to the defeated general the answer to his request
for an audience with President Jackson.
Such quibble aside, this handsome little volume is one that buffs and collec-
tors alike will want on their shelf of Texas history.

Grey Owl (1888-1938), who called himself the modern Hiawatha, was one
of Canada's best-known writers in the 1930s. Speaking as an "Indian," Grey
Owl was an active and eloquent pioneer in the cause of wildlife conservation,
and he called for equitable treatment of Canada's Indian peoples. In truth,
Grey Owl was not, as he claimed, the son of an Apache mother and a Scottish
father who was an army scout in the American West. Rather, Grey Owl was

PCI DSS compliance a box ticking exercise
Many businesses are more concerned about complying with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) than about actually protecting sensitive data.
This Article Covers
Risk management
Many businesses are more concerned about complying with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) than about actually protecting sensitive data.
Over 40% of businesses that meet PCI DSS compliance rely too heavily on temporary controls, according research.
The research, which looked at PCI DSS compliance from the perspective of qualified security assessors (QSAs) and was conducted by Ponemon Institute for security supplier Thales, concluded that 41% of businesses would fail their PCI DSS compliance if they were not allowed to rely on "temporary compensating controls".
Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of Ponemon Institute, said: "This study indicates a significant concern among QSAs that many merchants are primarily focused on complying with PCI and less on what should be equally important - protecting sensitive information."
Other findings of the research include:
- QSAs find the most difficult requirement to meet is restricting access to cardholder data on a business-driven need-to-know basis, which they believe is the most important part in achieving PCI DSS compliance.
- QSAs find the most significant threats to card data come from merchant networks and databases containing cardholder data.
- 60% of QSAs believe encryption is the most effective means to protect card data from the moment it is accepted at the point of sale to when the transaction is authorised.

The North Putnam School Board members made quick business of the items on its agenda Thursday night. But the main topics that all the board members seemed to have a say in was the bus driver salary and policy 6440.
North Putnam Supt. Murray Pride informed the board that the bus drivers have not had an increase in their salary in more than four years. The salary for a bus driver for North Putnam Schools is currently at $27.50 for the first three hours and $6.25 for every hour after that.
Pride also said the school corporation was having trouble getting extra-cirricular activity drivers and he associates that with their wages. After comparing their wages to other schools, Pride recommended that the board increase the salary to $30 for the first three hours and $7 for every hour after that.
Board member Carl Blau wondered if being the highest was a good thing. According to Blau, Greencastle Schools pay more than North Putnam while South Putnam and Cloverdale pay less.
Board member Charlie Boller asked why they did not just bump it up to $7.50 for every additional hour. "Is 50 cents really going to break the budget?" he asked.
Pride said that $7 was the amount discussed, and that the increase should be workable. Fifty cents was not going to break the budget, but instead of waiting another four years, the board was going to look at it yearly.
Debbie Sillery said she saw $7.50 as just an extra boost. But Blau and Patricia Baldwin still had a problem with being the highest.
Board president Dale McGaughey said, "We already have gone up 75 cents, why go up 50 cents more?"
The board approved the recommended salary increases 7-0.
Pride also informed the board about policy 6440, criteria for denial of board consideration of student due process appeals.
The board had a first reading on this policy and had listed all the appeals they would not hear. During a recent court case, a judge ruled that a school board either must hear all or no appeals. Pride recommended that the board amend the first reading to comply with the ruling and hear no appeals.
Boller questioned this by saying that the board should be a part of the process if people come to them with questions because they might feel more comfortable talking to the board.
Sillery said, "In my opinion, the administrators should handle it."
The board approved to amend the policy 6-1.
In other business, the board:
--Learned that the corporation had received three grants recently.
One grant was a servicing learning grant for $10,000 to be used at the middle school and high school for developing service learning opportunities.
Grant two was from Project Lead The Way for $40,000 to be used at the high school for the development of career clusters.
The last grant was given to Bainbridge Elementary for $18, 445 to be used for early intervention for pre-kindergarden through second grade.
--Learned that two FFA teams were named state champions at the food science contest.
Team number one consisted of Jessica Fry who received the highest individual score, Mackenzie Pearson who received the second highest score, Kristin Fry who received third highest score, and Ashley Summerlot.
Team number two consisted of Eric Earley, Mindy Fordice, Ashlee Pinney, and Ethan Stephenson.
--Learned that Pride had been selected as district four superintendent of the year. "It is quite an honor," said McGaughey. "The state is making a good choice."
--Approved the milk bid from Handys Dairy, the bread bid from Interstate Breads, and other cafeteria products bid from BMB Foods and Gordons Foods 7-0.
--Approved unanimously to keeping the lunch and breakfast prices the same as last year.
--Approved unanimously the high school textbook rental and student fees.
--Approved unanimously the budget calender.
A budget workshop is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 17. Advertising the budget is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 25 and Friday Sept. 1.
The proposed budget public hearing is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 7, while the adoption of the proposed budget is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 25.
The board also agreed to the move the September board meeting to Sept. 25.
--Approved unanimously to having the football live-in camps Aug. 2-5.
--Unanimously approved to two fundraisers.
The cheerleaders will be waitressing at the VFW breakfast in Roachdale and the volleyball team will be having a car wash in the State Farm Insurance parking lot.
--Learned that the corporation will be receiving the second half of their payment from the state.
--Approved 6-0 the termination of high school custodian Kristine Holmer.
--Approved 6-0 the hiring of high school custodian Katherine Carnes, middle and high school athletic trainer Brandon McGaughey, high school head baseball coach Norman Fish, high school assistant swim coach Mark Lehr, high school assistant volleyball coach Bonnie Osborn, high school strength and conditioning coordinator Dave Pasch, high school strength and conditioning assistants Dan Fouts and Ron Price, Cloverdale Elementary teacher Krysta Watson for Old National Trail, and high school volunteer assistant football coach Chuck Tilton.
--Approved 6-0 the resignation of high school head girls track coach Dave Pasch and high school head boys track coach Dan Fouts.
In addition, the board also approved the maternity leave of absence of Bainbridge Elementary teacher Laura Martin.
Baldwin had announced at last month's meeting, and reiterated that she would not be running in the fall the Floyd Township school trustee and board position. Anyone who wishes to run must turn in their name for the ballot by Aug. 25.
Present at the meeting were Sillery, Jon Buser, Baldwin, secretary Vonda McGaughey, McGaughey, Pride, attorney Mark O'Mara, Boller, Mark Fordice, and Blau.
The next regularly scheduled meeting is set for Thursday, Aug. 17 at 7 p.m. in the school corporation building.
This meeting is open to the public.

Check out these bargain stocks
Downsizing may be appealing, but consider these first
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
I've been thinking about biotech stocks a great deal lately. The
sector seems to be trading much better in the early weeks of 2012,
a few spectacular gainers already in the bag
and likely more to come.
Yet investors are also well aware many biotech stocks simply
flame out as cash dwindles or as a drug fails to meet clinical
testing hurdles. So how do you gain potentially big upside without
suffering significant downside (which is
my entire
$100,000 Portfolio
) in this speculative sector?
I think I've found the perfect vehicle.
It's a company with ties to a range of promising drugs and only
needs to see a few hits to give itsshares a solid boost. I'm
talking about
Ligand Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq:
which has been around for more than 20 years. After a major revamp
about five years ago, the company is just now hitting its stride.
Just-released fourth-quarter results underscore a long-awaited
milestone. Ligand had been losing money because its portfolio of
drugs had yet to mature, but now it's finally profitable -- and
potentially hugely profitable within a few years.
Before I get into Ligand's slate of investments, let me show you
what this company has looked like by the numbers.
As you can see in the table above, Ligand's heavy investments to
acquire the rights to promising drugs have led to a string of
money-losing years.EBITDA is the more salient metric thanearnings
per share (
) , because it best highlights an ongoing cash burn. Not only did
Ligand sharply reduce theEBITDA drain in 2011, it actually
delivered positive
in the fourth quarter -- for the first time in a number of years.
And now that Ligand is in the black, it's highly unlikely to slip
back into the red.
Credit for this company's comingturnaround goes toCEO John Higgins,
who took the reins in January 2007. Since then, he has deployed the
company's cash into four key deals, which have provided a pipeline
of drugs, and more important, some key biotechnology platforms that
can boost the efficacy and safety of many other companies' drugs.
Reaping what they sow
Through its investment in various small biotech firms, Ligand now
has exposure to 60 different drugs that are either in clinical
trials or are already on themarket . Specifically, roughly 10% of
its drug pipeline has already received Food and Drug Administration
approval, another 10% is in Phase III testing, another 25% is in
Phase II testing, with the remainder either in Phase I or
pre-clinical testing.
Here's a quick summary of a few key programs that are already
generating income:
• Captisol. Captisol is a chemical solution that makes drugs more
stable and can lead to more precise dosing. More than 20 drugs
currently in development are being tested with Captisol. This
platform is providing a boost to many of Ligand's drugs in
development, and is being licensed by major pharmaceutical firms to
improve the performance of existing drugs. Partners include
Baxter (NYSE:
Merck (NYSE:
Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE:
Medicines Co. (Nasdaq:
• Promacta.
GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:
currently sells this drug, which stimulates platelet formation and
targets patients with bleeding disorders. Glaxo is also testing
Promacta to gauge its efficacy in patients with hepatitis C.
According to the World Health Organization, about 170 million
people worldwide are infected with the hepatitis C virus, which can
result in cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer. If Promacta
proves to be efficient in the treatment of the disease, then it
could potentially become a blockbuster drug.
Ligand earns a sliding 5% to 10% royalty scale, depending on
salesvolume . It is likely to make around $10 million in Promacta
royalties this year, but this figure could be 10 times higher by
the middle of the decade. UBS projects sales of Promacta to rise
150% to $123 million this year, and sees 2013 sales exceeding $200
million, on the way to $500 million in sales by 2015.
Ligand's sales are expected to remain stable or trend moderately
higher over the course of 2012 as these two drug platforms gain
greater traction. Management has formally issued guidance for 2012
sales of $30 million and positivecash flow , though this figure
appears to be conservative in light of recent quarterly sales run
Not only do the two platforms have significant growth opportunities
in the years ahead, but Ligand's pipeline of yet-to-be-approved
drugs also looks quite promising.
For example, Ligand's partner
Onyx Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq:
is testing a drug called carfilzomib, which is a Captisol-based
protease inhibitor that has appeared quite effective in the
treatment of multiple myelomas (blood cancers). Phase II testing is
underway, and carfilzomib could be on themarket a year from now.
The company and the analysts who follow Ligand say this drug also
has the potential to be a blockbuster.
Behind carfilzomib stands a fairly deep drug pipeline, though it's
too early to place a value on it. The company is spending about $16
million in generaloverhead each year and another $10 million on
research and development (R&D) -- with partners spending much
more on their own R&D that couldyield royalties to Ligand.
So combined, we're talking about roughly $26 million in annual
expenses. Notably, Ligand's revenue stream has already surpassed
this amount and is likely to march much higher in 2013 and beyond.
That's why I think this former money-loser should be a money-maker
from here on out.
The Downside Protection -->
Shares have traded as low as $9 when the
was in full sell-off mode last summer. If the market hits another
deep rough patch in 2012, then that's a floor that you need to
think about. Insiders tend to step in and support the stock with
open market purchases in the $11 range. Now that Ligand is
may never touch those lows again.
Upside Triggers -->
The two drug platforms noted above are just beginning to hit their
stride. As a result, 2012 should see a steady stream of
announcements from Ligand and its partners regarding clinical trial
progress or new sales agreements. Analysts are still hard-pressed
to specifically gauge forward quarterly revenue streams, but the
projected income statements should get much more clarity over the
course of 2012.
As a very rough gauge, assume 2012 sales of $30 million, 2013 sales
of $40 million and sales approaching $100 million by 2015. Notably,
these sales carry very high margins, which is why analysts say
Ligand could earn $3 to $4 a share by 2016. If this scenario plays
out, then shares could rise from a current $14 to $30 or $40 in the
next few years.
Action to Take -->
I will be buying 700 shares of Ligand (or roughly
$10,000 worth) 48 hours after you read this.
I'm not expecting rapidappreciation for this stock. Indeed, it
carries a fairly lowbeta and wouldn't necessarily surge in value
just because the market takes off. More cyclical holdings in my
$100,000 portfolio, such as
Ford (NYSE:
Alcoa (NYSE:
, have much greaterleverage to expectations of a rebounding
U.S.economy . That said, Ligand's shares are more likely to hold
their own if the U.S. economic outlook becomes constrained.
Frankly, this isn't a stock to hold for the next six months, and
instead should be seen as a solid long-term growth portfolio

TeamHealth CEO Greg Roth Announces Plans To Retire Effective December 2014
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Team Health Holdings Inc. ("TeamHealth" or the "Company") (NYSE: TMH), one of the largest providers of outsourced physician staffing solutions for hospitals in the United States, today disclosed that its Chief Executive Officer, Greg Roth, has announced his desire to retire from his role as an officer and member of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), after nearly 10 years of successful leadership at the Company. Until a new CEO is appointed by the Board, Mr. Roth will continue in his current role with a targeted retirement date of December 2014. However, at the Board's request, Mr. Roth's retirement date could be extended until March 31, 2015. The Company's Board will begin an executive search for a new CEO, while Mr. Roth will remain as CEO and as a Board member throughout the search process to manage an orderly transition in the leadership of the Company. Mr. Roth joined TeamHealth in 2004 as President and Chief Operating Officer and was named CEO in 2008. During Roth's leadership, TeamHealth has grown from a privately held company with $1.0 billion in annual revenues that was primarily focused on emergency services to a publicly traded company with nearly $2.5 billion in annual revenues that now delivers multiple clinical service lines to more than 860 healthcare clients."Greg has been a valued and strategic leader who has made significant contributions to TeamHealth's growth," said Dr. Lynn Massingale, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of the Company. "The Company has achieved important financial and performance milestones under his guidance, and we have built an exceptionally strong management team. We are pleased that Greg will remain in his current position for the next year to help with the search for his replacement and to effect a seamless transition once the new CEO is identified. As the Board begins its search for Greg's successor, we will consider both internal and external candidates." "I have made a personal decision to retire, which will allow time for me to volunteer for not-for-profit organizations and serve on other corporate boards," said Mr. Roth. "I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the talented and caring people at TeamHealth who have made our successes possible. TeamHealth has a long-standing reputation as an organization focused on recruiting, retaining, and supporting outstanding clinicians who provide exceptional patient care with our client hospitals. I believe TeamHealth will continue to maintain its strong reputation as it successfully executes its strategy for years to come.
