Siga Technologies Inc. Stock Downgraded (SIGA)
TheStreet) -- Siga Technologies (Nasdaq: SIGA) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to sell. Among the areas we feel are negative, one of the most important has been weak operating cash flow. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the Biotechnology industry average, but is less than that of the S&P 500. The net income increased by 4.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from -$4.94 million to -$4.70 million.
- SIGA TECHNOLOGIES INC has improved earnings per share by 18.2% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. Stable earnings per share over the past year indicate the company has sound management over its earnings and share float. However, the consensus estimates suggest that there will be an upward trend in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, SIGA TECHNOLOGIES INC reported poor results of -$0.62 versus -$0.61 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.03 versus -$0.62).
- SIGA, with its very weak revenue results, has greatly underperformed against the industry average of 7.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues plummeted by 66.6%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Biotechnology industry and the overall market, SIGA TECHNOLOGIES INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to -$4.31 million or 35.16% when compared to the same quarter last year. In conjunction, when comparing current results to the industry average, SIGA TECHNOLOGIES INC has marginally lower results.

Cleaning out e-mail accounts
View DSCROW's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from DSCROW
Sunday, December 15, 2013
Yes, I am getting a little board when I resort to cleaning out the e-mail accounts. I am doing well but am tired of sleeping on my back a sure sign I am getting better as I am tired of this but doing otherwise I am doing good. I want to sleep in my own bed which is still too difficult for me to get in and out of without help.
OK lets give some thanks so I can feel better and not be ill. I am thankful for healing so nicely and for the positive appearance already from surgery results. I am thankful for the ability to take time off to heal and the help I have had while I am healing. I am thankful to be healthier life that began with my RNY surgery journey. I am thankful for Dr. Miles who I know saved my life last January and stayed in my room with me awaiting his team and my husband to arrive when I was so touch and go in that first hour after crashing. I am thankful for my home, friends, church family, extended family, husbands family all who love me and have prayed for me and lifted me up. I praise God who carried me through it all and who expects me on today's like today when I no longer have to be carried to seek him on my own. I am thankful for the Bible and my new phone app that reads the bible to me when I walk (I love it), and for prayer without which I would not have a wired connection to my Lord and Savior.
Yes, I feel better and may have to practice this a few more times today to keep my attitude adjusted. I missed church today and could have physically attended. My husband would have helped me dress and drove us but we decided after all the flu and virus posts we read this week from members that we would not risk my becoming infected. I have spent time doing my devotion and read my bible but miss attending service and praise music. Ha, theirs my cue I need to pull up my iTunes and play some music

Any mommies giving their LO juice yet in a sippy cup? Or giving those puffs? I'm just curious as to who has!
Any mommies giving their LO juice yet in a sippy cup? Or giving those puffs? I'm just curious as to who has!
Kimm (42)
DS 9/13/04 Identical Twins
DD born 5/30/12
We gave DD some prune juice when she was constipated, but not since. We probably wont give her juice at all until she is much older.
She has tried the blueberry and banana puffs. She doesn't like or dislike them. She will eat them if I give them to her, but she doesn't get all excited if I show them to her. She has only had like 4 of them.
She's my kid. I'm her mom.
Soon to be big sister.
Cam has the apple puffs and she may get 2-3 of them in her mouth per sitting. She likes it though. She does have a sippy cup with water and sometimes a splash of sugar free apple juice her ped said it was fine. I would never give her straight juice. It is basically 90% water 10%juice mixture. Not to mention she still doesn't even really know how to drink she just plays so she gets very little of it.
Erin-Mama to Hadleigh (5), Kenna (10) and Cambree 6/13/2012
yeah, I keep hearing mixed things about the juice! My mother had mentioned to start doing it but dilute it with water. Also our Ped gave us a sheet that says Juice at 7 months (orange, Grape) no apple) so I wanted to find out what everyone thought.
Heather (26) + Ryan (31) =
Rielyn (6-18-12)
Isaac (8-12-14)
My pediatrician recommended giving LO warm diluted apple juice for his horrible cough. He only gets 4 oz. a day, and not even every day. He loves it though.

Abstract: This article contends that the relation of early logical empiricism to Kant was more complex than is often assumed. It argues that Reichenbach's early work on Kant and Einstein, entitled The Theory of Relativity and A Priori Knowledge (1920) aimed to transform rather than to oppose Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. One the one hand, I argue that Reichenbach's conception of coordinating principles, derived from Kant's conception of synthetic a priori principles, offers a valuable way of accounting for the historicity of scientific paradigms. On the other hand, I show that even Reichenbach, in line with Neo-Kantianism, associated Kant's view of synthetic a priori principles too closely with Newtonian physics and, consequently, overestimated the difference between Kant's philosophy and his own. This is even more so, I point out, in the retrospective account logical empiricism presented of its own history. Whereas contemporary reconstructions of this history, including Michael Friedman's, tend to endorse this account, I offer an interpretation of Kant's conception of a priori principles that contrasts with the one put forward by both Neo-Kantianism and logical empiricism. On this basis, I re-examine the early Reichenbach's effort to accommodate these principles to the paradigm forged by Einstein.

The Musician - Music"Because of music,The Musician - Music by Rjanarielle
I was sane.
I was happy.
I felt safe.
But also
Because of music,
I went insane
I was happy
But not the same.
A lot of people changed
Because of
Or changed for
The things they love
And it's not always for the better."
--The Musician
Creepypasta: The MusicianThe MusicianCreepypasta: The Musician by Rjanarielle
"Oh look, it's that weird kid in our class."
"When will you start paying attention to class?!"
"We are so disappointed in you, Zachary..."
I keep hearing these words every day. My classmates, my teacher, my parents... They rarely say anything positive to me.
I'm sorry that I'm too weird for your liking.
I'm sorry that I can't stay focused for a minute.
I'm sorry for being a disappointment.
I keep on saying these words to my head but I can never say them out loud. I'm scared of what they will say to me back. That's why I keep my mouth shut and I simply nod my head. They'll leave me alone that way. I don't get mad at them. In fact, I just realized... I've never gotten mad before. And I know the reason why.
Music is my best friend-- my only friend. It's always with me. It keeps me company. It always calms me down and I feel like everything is just fine as long as I have my music. I don't what I would do if I lost my best friend in the world. I really don't know wha
Another Edit:
Okay, so my name is Arielle but you can call me RJan, RJ, Arielle, or Rjanarielle :3 I love Hetalia, KnB, SnK, Homestuck, Planetary Moe (squee!), and a lot more. I ship yaoi, yuri, and het. I'm a HUGE Ameripan and FrUK shipper. I don't care if I don't like USUK and the world's against me, but that's my opinion.
I am a Bro! I like PewDiePie and Cryaotic/ChaoticMonki.
I love anime but I don't cosplay. I want to cosplay but I have no monaaay.
One of the things I love to do the most is writing fanfics-- Oh, and roleplaying. I also love drawing very much. Singing is what I do everyday (haters gonna hate). I may sound crazy, but that's who I am and I'm proud of myself.
I have done a lot of things in my life that I am regretting now but if I hadn't done them, I wouldn't be the person I am now so it's also a bit of a... blessing, I guess? Now...
Aw yeah XD

Central Bank Gold Manipulation "Steady As Ever" - Avoid "Paper Gold"
Gold may have its worst week in 2012 as it is currently down 3.5% for the week in dollar terms and nearly 3% in euro and pound terms. However, gold is still higher so far in June and the fundamentals suggest we have bottomed or are very close to a market bottom prior to a summer rally.
However, further short term weakness is possible as speculators go to cash and support is at $1,540/oz (see chart above).
Gold will be supported by safe haven demand due to the risk of contagion from European countries sovereign debt. There is the possibility of successive sovereign defaults like a child's game of dominoes.
The poor economic data should also support gold. Economic data yesterday showed euro-area manufacturing fell at its fastest rate in 3 years, and Chinese output was also down. Americans seeking jobless benefits have increased and existing US home sales contracted.
US economic woes are far from over. The Operation Twist program extended by the US Federal Reserve doesn't look like it will be the salvation to spur growth in the US economy.
We fully expect "QE3" to occur which will also be positive for gold.
Chris Powell, Secretary and Treasurer of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee told Bernie Lo on CNBC Asia overnight that central banks are continuing to manipulate the gold market as they are interested in supporting government bonds and the dollar and keeping interest rates low.
Powell warns about "paper gold" and says that we "try to persuade investors that if they are purchasing gold, they had better get real gold – metal. They should not get "paper gold" and keep it within the banking system."
He says that "there is huge naked short position in gold" and estimates that perhaps "75% to 80% of the gold that the world thinks it owns does not exist and is just a claim on a bullion bank that is underwritten basically by the central banks."
Bernie Lo asks what is the "end result"?
With regard to price Powell said that he does not make predictions but he wonders "what the value or the price of gold will be if the world ever discovers that 80% of the gold that it thinks it owns – does not exist."
"There may not be enough zeros in the world to put behind the gold price then."
Powell said that buyers should own gold in "your hand"or in allocated format outside of the banking system.
He concluded by saying that surreptitious intervention in the gold market can continue as long as gold buyers do not own real physical bullion.
We do not endorse GATA's opinions however some of their evidence and many of their arguments are persuasive. We have yet to see any analyst or commentator address the substantive issues they have raised and debunk or refute their allegations.
Currency Ranked Returns – (Bloomberg)
Free markets need freedom of speech and a plurality of opinion. Group think and cosy consensus got us into today's the financial and economic mess. Therefore, open, frank and rational debate about all aspects of the precious metal and other markets and our current monetary system is important.
Being fully informed of all of the facts and fundamentals driving markets are essential in order to protect and grow wealth.
(Bloomberg) -- LBMA Says Gold Trading Rose 8.5% in May as Silver Fell 4.1%
Gold trading climbed 8.5 percent to an average of 19.5 million ounces a day in May compared with a month earlier, the London Bullion Market Association said today in an e-mailed report.
Silver trading declined 4.1 percent to a daily average of 135.3 million ounces, the LBMA said.
(Bloomberg) -- Gold-Silver Ratio Climbs to Highest Level Since June 5
One ounce of gold bought as much as 58.3138 ounces of silver today, the most since June 5, according to Bloomberg data. The so-called ratio was at 58.0126 by 7:36 a.m. in Singapore.
(Bloomberg) -- IShares Silver Trust Holdings Unchanged at 9,821 Metric Tons
Silver holdings in the IShares Silver Trust, the biggest exchange-traded fund backed by silver, were unchanged at 9,821.45 metric tons as of June 21, according to figures on the company's website.

(PTI) -- Canadian citizen arrested, gold recovered
A Canadian citizen was arrested after three kg of gold was recovered from his possession at N S C B International airport here.
Airport sources said Abdul Salam Chamundi came in a Quatar Airlines flight from Dubai and was about to come out from the international terminal when security recovered three kg of gold from his shoes early today.
(Bloomberg) -- Gold Seen Averaging $1,800 an Ounce by Fourth Quarter by RBS
Gold will average $1,800 an ounce by the fourth quarter, Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc said in an e-mailed report today.
"From there, we reiterate our view that this move will be a 'last hurrah' for gold. We continue to see a downtrend commence from that point, which should see gold gradually fade to average $1,200 an ounce by 2015F."
(FT) -- Gold market loses leading senior figure
The gold market has just lost one of its most senior figures.
Jeremy Charles, the veteran head of precious metals at HSBC, retires on Friday after a career of nearly four decades at the heart of the bullion industry. In that time, he helped to revolutionise the market.
Under Mr Charles, HSBC's precious metals division has become one of the largest and most profitable franchises in the industry. With just 27 front office staff, competitors estimate that the bank's precious metals division makes annual revenues of $200m-$300m a year, rivalled only by ScotiaMocatta, UBS, and JPMorgan. Along with JPMorgan, HSBC trades more gold in the London market than any other bank, traders say.
Mr Charles, who started his career in 1975 as a 19-year-old "tea boy" at NM Rothschild and went on to become chairman of the London Bullion Market Association, has witnessed the transformation of the gold market from a backwater to one of the most profitable areas of many banks.

When past fiats went to zero, do you think people were better off in gold or those currencies? All fiats eventually go to zero. US debt and monitary policy shows the dollar will go to zero. What else do you need to know? The only quesiton is the time line. With each QE having diminishing returns, gold could go exponential sooner than later. "Make it on Wall St, bury it on Main St" is a famous slogan for a reason. Even the anti-gold schills own a lot of gold. They just want Joe Sixpack to remain in dollars.
Why are so many Wall Street pooh bahs and FED officials uncircumcized? Because there's no end to those pricks.
Pass the ammo and lets water the tree of liberty.
I believe we should discuss the price (value) of gold en silver when comex is in coma. Untill then, it's just subprime copper. Keep stacking.
Ah the classic if you can't beat them join them. I have a quote for you : "Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tumultuous seas of liberty". Not only is it morally wrong to go along with what you know is evil and bad, it is the sign of a coward.
I think I understand the difference between real gold and paper gold but I have never heard anyone explain how real gold was priced compared to paper gold.
Yes, real gold is a bit more expensive than paper gold just like you can never buy a currency at the price set by the "market" even though it's just paper.
€1 is worth $1.25 says the market. Now go to your bank, or to a currency trader and you will pay more than that.
My understanding is, Phys gold price = Spot Price * (1+X), where X= the percent based on the quantity of gold sold. At 1oz, you pay roughly 5%, at one gram you pay close to 40%. Though, I have recently seen a chinese 1/20th oz coin (1.55g) at about 25%. Perhaps small denominations of gold are going to get cheaper soon.
The spot price is determined by a spot contract, a contract to buy or sell gold and settle the contract almost immediately. In other words, these are people wanting gold now, and their trading is a large influence on the spot price.
However, another influence on the spot price is the futures market. A gold future is a contract to buy or sell gold, at some point in the future, weeks, months, years. This is the market, in my understanding, where the manipulation takes place. It is here, where people are not necessarily looking to take physical delivery of gold, but instead can profit from the fluctuations of price. Some legitimate business is conducted in the futures market, however, since physical delivery is less demanded, paper can be circulated in its place. Large institutions are able to dictate changes in the futures price by "dumping" massive amounts of futures contracts (allegedly, un-backed contracts to sell gold they don't have), the price in the not too distant future gets pulled lower, and as a result, the spot follows. It may be a form of arbitrage, like if the spot price starts riding high, and the future price is low, sell spot, buy future, and wait to take delivery later.
to quote FOFOA
paper gold price - whatever the CRIMEX says it is
physical gold in your possession: priceless
It all comes down to counter-party liability.
Wherein physical gold in your hand has no liability and in a breakdown is convertible to goods and services.
However paper gold like securities and even digitally held dollars in a bank account are at the mercy of whatever institution is providing the holding.
Just like there could be runs on the bank that prevent you from withdrawing currency, the same thing could happen to the paper market and is almost guaranteed to happen.
Infact it would be worse with the paper gold market as this article above says there is not enough physical bullion against the market, not even close.
Infact it would be worse with the paper gold market as this article above says there is not enough physical bullion against the market, not even close.
And with most ETF Gold there is in the fine print at their discretion, to pay you in fiat, not in physical.
Read carefully.
+ 1
Paper gold is bad for various reasons, including that little bit of fine print. Most of the ETFs and similar are also paper (or even electrons)...
There is plenty of gold, but the big owners of gold are NOT selling! Who are they? The ones who buy and hold their gold through the generations (the "Giants") and the central banks.
Go for the real thing: physical gold!
So, if I'm not mistaken, it appears that the big financial groups are practicing "fractional reserve gold holdings." As soon as a gold ETF purchases a huge pile of gold it "lends it out" to another firm for interest. This firm lends it to another account, such as a commodity broker, and so on multiplying the apparent amount of gold held in the system by 10-15 times. When it all starts to crumble then the "owners" will be stuck looking for the pea under the shells.
Good news!!! According to RBS all the world's problems should be fixed by year end! Back to "normal".
I wish you would distinguish between Crimex and physical when referencing prices.
"We do not endorse GATA's opinions however some of their evidence and many of their arguments are persuasive. We have yet to see any analyst or commentator address the substantive issues they have raised and debunk or refute their allegations."
They just answered their own question.
How many Greeks (see pics :: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/photos-fixed-greece ) wished they had a few pieces of PHYSICAL GOLD &/or SILVER right now ?
You can't compare dollars with gold, esp right now during the manipulation process. Buy now and hold for the long term, in 10 years or so you'll be really glad you did......
ZH is what I read to feel good about my PHYS and PSLV getting CRUSHED. I hope my wife doesn't find out.
taking delivery of physical metals > all
Considering there are 100 paper claims for every ounce of physical gold in existence I should think paper gold is the last thing anyone would consider getting into right now.
Hummm..... I doubt it's 100..... I would expect it is FAR HIGHER...... Paper G is fine if you want to trade in ranges measure in hours or less, but worthless otherwise - a lot of people will get totally screwed when paper can't be resolved into the physical.....
"...security recovered three kg of gold from his shoes early today"????????
That guy was a dumbass .... just wear a few rings, a four bracers (two wrists, two upper arms), a lot of necklaces and one heavy medallion
Or just one pretty cool looking medalion :-)
Unfortunately, I manage a 7 figures Keough for my partner and me. There is no place else to put the funds but gold and silver bullion, mining shares and dollars. It's all paper. If I surrender the account I will be left with half after taxes and penalties. It's just not worth it and my partner is not as enlightened as us ZeroHedgers vis-a-vis the fiat money- empire of debt scam. Personally, I have 80% of my liquid wealth (cash and cash equivalents) in physical bullion. My guess is that all these private Keoughs will be virtually nationalized at some point and forced into Treasuries, for the collective good of course. /sarc
I'm counting only on assets in my physical possession. All corporate holdings are monopoly-casino money IMHO - I don't count on them at all.
So, should I buy 20 more ounces of physical gold today?
Having a biz partner is MOST OFTEN like being in a bad marriage - yes all you biz partners, you are married to the other biz partner....
I would split the empire into two KEOUGHs... and find someone that will allow you to buy physical. OR PAY THE FRIGGIN' TAX and then buy the physical to be placed in the bank of Mason-Ball (in the back yard). Better have 1/2 in the backyard than wortheless paper in some binary account. Think it over..... 1/2 or ZIP ......
I have discussed converting the Keough into physical gold bullion with myself as custodian with my Keough administrator. He said it is doable but a bit of a hassle. I'm still deciding whether to pull the trigger.
There is no doubt in my mind that this fraudalent paper money game will end some day and gold and silver will be restored to their rightful places as the only true money. But, I don't know when this collapse will occur. TPTB have been very skillful in promulgating the dollar-based Ponzi for over 8 decades now. This game could conceivably go on for another decade. So, I am using my paper assets like Keoughs, Life Insureance and Annuities as my hedge - that the masters of the money universe will be able to keep this game going for a few more years. I am 57. If TSHTF I still have my physical bullion to fall back on. If TS does not HTF then I will have my paper assets to fall back on and my children will get the metals. Sooner or later, the books must be settled and the world must face economic reality.
Does your Keough allow for ETF purchases, like Sprott's PHYS or PSLV or GLDX, GDX or GDXJ?
Yes. Your ETF list is a virtual description of my portfolio:
PVG 5% (thank you Bob Chapman - I miss you so much - RIP)
TRX 5% (anything that Jim Sinclair is willing to put his $millions into is good enough for me!)
Cash (US dollars) 10%
"should I buy 20 more ounces of physical gold today?"
Well, there's a guy further upthread who claims to be really, really smart and he is recommending that you rush down to your local BAC and take out a 30-year mortgage on another depreciating pile of bricks that will attract not only usurious interest charges and property taxes, but also other local, state and federal 'mandatory green improvement' costs long after the zombie hordes have burned it to the ground in a search for your prior gold acquisitions. The chances that it will be claimed back from you by the federal government under eminent domain for a nature reserve are also really quite low-ish.
It seems like a no-brainer when one considers the terrible risk of an unfortunate canoeing accident when out fishing with any gold purchases on board.
I hope that helps.
Paper gold is just that: paper
Why would anyone ever want to invest in something that the government is actively supressing? That would be what's called a losing propisition.
@ gloomy
It's the PAPER price that is being suppressed. Your homework assignment for the weekend: FOFOA's website
Best Wishes JS
Because real money will win out in the end.
Why would anyone ever want to invest in something that the government is actively supressing? That would be what's called a losing propisition.
Analogy: You and another fellow like the same girl. He's telling her awful lies about you in an effort to manipulate her into going with him instead of you. Is the logical reaction to throw in the towel? Does it really make sense to abandon what you consider to be a worthy goal simply because someone else is telling stories in order to make it harder for you to succeed? Where does it end? Will you refuse to compete for anything that someone else wants to control?
It's funny because it's true.
Because that supression cannot be continued when fiat money comes into existence much faster than real assetts do. PM price suppression is a buying opportunity that will not last forever.
And why would you want to invest in something the government is constantly propping such as property and stocks? That is the real losing proposition.
Cause if they prop it, it will go up. If they suppress it, it will go down.
Gold is being suppressed and it still goes up. What happens when it can't be suppressed anymore?
The point is it's not being suppressed. It just trades like anything else with speculators on both sides. If it were being suppressed it wouldn't have gone up.
SORRY BUT Gloomy is a bonehead..... from an earlier comment I made ::
How many Greeks (see pics :: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/photos-fixed-greece ) wished they had a few pieces of PHYSICAL GOLD &/or SILVER right now ?
Gloomy will be one of those that wished he had some physical, but will have none....
You've been here almost three years Gloomy and you haven't figured out the gold story yet?
Do you read anything here at ZH or just troll?
Doesn't make sense for something that is supposedly suppressed to have gone up so much, does it? Why would it go up at all?
Government keeps home prices up when demand is falling, and keeps gold price down when demand is rising.
That's (moronic) central planning for ya.
Gloomy they are suppressing paper, just like they are debasing fiat currency and screwing people that save. Paper is alot easier to play with as we see everyday. Physical is a tangible asset. There are several good sites around the world where several big banks in europe have lost it all playing this game. I like you would think the same way until I read what is going on. Unlike paper though you have lost nothing with physical and you can hand it to your children without paying taxes on it.
I would ask an honest question of you gloomy. Why would you think they are not trying to hold gold back? I do have an open mind or try to have one. I hope you get back with me.
Because if they were too agressive about the scheme, it would not last as long. It is impossible to keep it at 0, but if they can slow the ascension, then it will take longer for people to realize they are missing out on the opporutinity to preserve their wealth at reasonable prices. Perception management.
It goes up because there is demand for it. It goes up slowly because western media is proficient at promoting the concept that gold is nothing but a shiney rock.
Your inability to use basic logic is positively breathtaking.
Did it ever occur to your feeble and syphilitic mind that perhaps the price of gold can and does increase DESPITE that official if unacknowledged suppression, and that it might have increased even MORE were it not actively and officially suppressed?
Does your car instantly screech to a stop the nanosecond that you begin to apply the brakes? Why doesn't it instantly do so, if you are suppressing its forward motion?

How Intel Can Thrive As PC Sector Lags
INTC) revealed a rise in inventory sitting in its distribution channels, it was a blow for investors still waiting for the PC sector to improve. Intel acknowledged that the Haswell chip refresh will not yield stronger sales in the short term. Not until late August or early September will Intel gain a better sense of its recent sales trends. [Read more from Kapitall: Ad Mega-Merger - What Publicis Omnicom Group Means for Advertising]Yet despite the fact that weakness in the PC sector is expected to continue, Intel looks positioned to thrive. Financial Summary Inventory grew in Intel's second quarter. The company attributed the increase to customers beginning to build PCs based on the Haswell processor line-up. Overall, inventories remain well-below historical averages. Intel expects revenue to be at the same level as last year. To adjust for a weaker PC market, Intel is reducing its capital expenditure by $1 billion, to $11 billion. Gross margins are expected to be 59%, as opposed to the prior forecast of 60%. For the next quarter, Intel forecast revenue would be $13.5 billion, up 5% from last quarter. Gross margins are expected to increase by 3 percent, to 61%. Haswell in Focus Intel is diversifying away from traditional PCs, into such devices as ultrabooks. The refresh of chips, including the Haswell, could still improve margins and profits. Intel released quad core products last quarter and this quarter, dual core processors will follow as lower priced products. For now, Intel will not be able to determine if sales will improve, but the chips do offer some innovation for consumers. Devices can now be built without the need for fans to cool the chip. In 2014, the Bay Trail chip will introduce even more innovation – at only 14 nanometers, it will use even less power or produce less heat.Chris Lau, Kapitall: When Intel (

How much juice do you give your LOs over the course of a day? My LO loves OJ and requests it all the time. I only give her about 6 oz of it in the morning with breakfast, but she would drink nothing BUT OJ if she had her choice. How about water? When you give your LOs water, do you use bottled water or filtered water from the fridge or water from the tap.
The reason I am asking is because my sister's 5 year old went to the dentist recently and the dentist said that he would have to have 4 of his teeth pulled because they were rotten from the sugar in juice and from not having flouride in the water they were giving him. She thought she was making healthy choices for her son by giving him juice and water, but was told it wasn't the right KIND of juice or the right KIND of water. Now I'm panicking, as usual, about my LO! I don't want her to get to her first dental appointment and be told that I'm negligent for not paying enough attention to the kind of drinks I give her.

text: From 1995 to 2013, director Richard Linklater told the ambitious story of a romance that developed over decades: Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight charted the epic, realistic romance of two lovers (Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy) as they aged on-screen. For the last twelve years, Linklater, longtime collaborator Hawke and Patricia Arquette have been doing something even more difficult – dramatizing one boy's childhood, year-by-year, as he grows up on camera. Once a year for twelve years, they filmed scenes in the life of a young kid who grows up with divorced parents. Hawke and Arquette, as the parents, only appear on-screen together in the first scene, when the boy is just six, and in the last, when he's graduating from high-school.

Buy-Rated Dividend Stocks In The Top 3: BGS, AB, PDLI
While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends which could subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 3 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Buy."
B&G FoodsDividend Yield: 4.20% B&G Foods (NYSE: BGS) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.20%. B&G Foods, Inc. manufactures, sells, and distributes shelf-stable food and household products in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. The company has a P/E ratio of 34.20. The average volume for B&G Foods has been 361,100 shares per day over the past 30 days. B&G Foods has a market cap of $1.7 billion and is part of the food & beverage industry. Shares are down 6.3% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Thursday. TheStreet Ratings rates B&G Foods as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth and good cash flow from operations. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 2.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 15.7%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $31.00 million or 34.17% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, B&G FOODS INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -25.75%.
- B&G FOODS INC's earnings per share declined by 10.8% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past two years. However, we anticipate this trend to reverse over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, B&G FOODS INC reported lower earnings of $0.98 versus $1.21 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.60 versus $0.98).
- In its most recent trading session, BGS has closed at a price level that was not very different from its closing price of one year earlier. This is probably due to its weak earnings growth as well as other mixed factors. Looking ahead, the stock's rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that the other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
- The gross profit margin for B&G FOODS INC is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 34.48%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the weak results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 8.97% is above that of the industry average.

The Cotton Room
Ballroom Church
Blue Ivory Light Green Purple
Calla Lily Dusty Miller Rose
When Julia Wade sent along this cozy candlelit affair, I nearly fell off my chair. Because on top of all the romance a girl could ever hope for, it's a day that balances tradition and modernity in the prettiest of ways. The Cotton Room played the perfect setting, and you can have a peek at the gallery + Heart Stone Films' lovely capture for lots, lots more.
From Julia Wade… Get ready for some serious fall/winter coziness. My sweet Susan & Justin put their entire heart and soul into this wedding and what resulted was the warmest and most welcoming wedding I think I've ever photographed. Glowing candles, the PERFECT bride & groom chairs draped in magnolia leaves, and a handmade (by Susan and her dad!) escort card display complete with tiny keys for each of their guests. All of the letterpress was hand written and designed by the groom.
These two were relaxed, knew their style through and through and executed it with lots of love. The Cotton Room was THEIR perfect backdrop.. Celebrating their love for their city and their roots. Susan's parents were married in the same church 30+ years ago.
I hope you enjoy this gorgeous downtown loft wedding in beautiful Durham, NC!

In a rapidly changing media landscape, what becomes of journalism? Designed to engage, inspire and challenge students while laying out the fundamental principles of the craft, Principles of American Journalism introduces students to the core values of journalism and its singularly important role in a democracy. From the First Amendment to Facebook, Stephanie Craft and Charles N. Davis provide a comprehensive exploration of the guiding principles of journalism—the ethical and legal foundations of the profession, its historical and modern precepts, the economic landscape, the relationships among journalism and other social institutions, and the key issues and challenges that contemporary journalists face. Case studies, discussion questions and field exercises help students to think critically about journalism's function in society, creating mindful practitioners of journalism and more informed media consumers.
With its bottom line under assault, its values being challenged from without and from within and its future anything but certain, it has never been more important to think about what's unique about journalism. This text is ideal for use in introductory Principles of Journalism courses, and the companion website provides a full complement of student and instructor resources to enhance the learning experience and connect to the latest news issues and events.
"Craft and Davis's Principles of American Journalism could be subtitled 'Everything you really need to understand about journalism but didn't think to ask.' Students will surely appreciate its lively conversational style; the authors' sense of humor, as well as their passion for great journalism, comes through on every page."
—Kim Walsh-Childers, University of Florida
"Principles of American Journalism should be mandatory reading for every journalism student, especially in an era when good journalism is sometimes lost in a cacophony of media messages. With passion for their subject and a no-nonsense approach, Craft and Davis cut through the mass-communication clutter, underlining the importance of journalism in a democratic society and the challenges it faces in the 21st century."
—Janice Hume, University of Georgia
"Principles of American Journalism is a thoughtful introduction to journalism and to its critical role in a democracy. As the technology and economics of journalism change in profound ways, students need to understand the fundamental principles that guide journalism in this country and why they are needed more than ever."
—Ford Risley, Penn State University

Glass v. Acrylic
Maybe I am confused and they are the same thing, or maybe acrylic is "plastic", but I have heard acrylic tanks advertised and was wondering if anyone could tell me what they are and how they measure up to a good old glass aquarium. Thanks!
With acrylic setups you have your pro/cons about them. Heres a few about Acrylic
1. Very light weight. Easier to move when empty which can be important for large tanks and the final installation will be slightly lighter.
2. Acrylic is more transparent than glass. Large glass tanks tend to have a greenish tint to the glass unless special very expensive iron free glass is used for the front pane. This is sometimes called Sapphire glass.
3. Acrylic is a better thermal barrier than glass.
4. Acrylic is less likely to shatter catastrophically if it takes a hard blow.
5. Acrylic has no glued seams that may fail over time.
6. Acrylic is easier to drill for plumbing hookups
#1 problem is that acrylic can be easily scratched when cleaning the inside of the tank. All acrylic tanks will get covered with small scratches over time. This is not too noticeable as long as you avoid accidentally getting a piece of sand or coralline algae between the cleaning device you are using and the acrylic which can cause large scratches. It warps and has to be strongly braced. With acrylic tanks they were all partly closed at the top by the hefty top bracing, which makes access to the tank fairly difficult.
It you were starting a reef tank i would go with the good old glass as corals and live rock will scratch the inside of an acrylic easier then it would a glass. It all depends on the size the money your willing to spend and the look you are looking for. I hope this was helpful enough for you.

Partner/adoption? Bad mom?
Ditto twinklefeather. It's not selfish at all to want to keep your son. It's natural and what is right for you. It'll be hard but you can do it! You have family and support and a bright future.
I'm sorry your SO is trying to pressure you into something you don't want. He sounds scared but he has no right to do that to you. You need to calmly but firmly tell him that it isnt an option for you.
Please take a moment to read this heartfelt and lovely post from an adoptive mother on why she feels adoption should be a last resort.
This is a tough decision that only you and your partner can make. I will say that adoption is not something people should feel guilty about considering if you feel the child will have a better life with adoptive parents - and if it is what you want to do. Your partner is very mature and brave to bring this up as an option.
My cousin's biological parents were two college students who made the choice to put her up for adoption 29 years ago. Thanks to their selfless act, my aunt and uncle were able to have a child, and my cousin grew up in a loving, stable home, traveled the world as a kid and went to great schools, etc. She has always known that she is adopted and has always been thankful to her adoptive parents for giving her a shot at a better life than they could provide.
But I think you both have to be on board with it. You may want to do some research on what your life would look like with both scenarios. Sorry, this sounds like a tough situation either way.
No, no no! Don't let him make you believe that loving your son is selfish act!!!!!! You LOVE your son and WANT your son. You're not out to prove anything. You're not selfish. He's either running scared or selfish himself. Don't let him project his feelings onto you. Be a strong momma! Be proud to love your son and raise him. Don't let others cause you doubt. You know the truth. That's what matters. Stand firm and tall in your love for your baby! :)
D & T...married 10.2000
Blessed with 2 boys & 4 girls, ages 9,8,7,6,3,1
God cares for my 5 babies in heaven, & we are praying for our 4/13 baby!
Adoptive parents can and do get divorced and/or separated! People just assume adoptive parents are somehow separate from birth parents and live in some magical world where nothing bad will ever happen. Just wanted to put that out there as I have been through this sitiation with a family member who adopted and has been through hell and back.
It sounds like to me your SO just decided he doesn't want to parent so you should not either. Maybe he doesn't want to have to pay child support or give up his childfree life. It is your choice and your baby and it sounds like you have a bright future. Good luck.
Me(36) dh(37) ds(15) dd(11) dd(9)
New Baby due 4/27/13 Sweet baby girl!
Reggie DD 12/02 DD 02/04 DS 04/13
"Unless you fuck up. Then he offers an eternity of roasty-toasty time." - abbeysdad
I think, especially since you want to keep this baby, that you are in a fine position to give him a good and stable home. You are in school and will shortly have the ability to have a good job. You are young but I was younger than you when I had my son.
Where do people get this idea that it takes two parents, and one at home, to make the perfect home? Families comes in so many shapes and forms now! Life is so unpredictable...the perfect couple can split, a high income earner can lose their job, a healthy person can get sick, accidents happen...should those people give up their babies too? Its ridiculous!
You are already giving your son the best thing there is - your LOVE! Plus, you have family support and you are positioning yourself to be able to provide for your son in the future.
Be strong for your son - remember the current president of your country, whether you support him or not - was brought up by a single mother, who had to work two jobs to provide for him. So clearly you can do an amazing job with your son too.
Wife to Jordan since 08/06 and mummy to Jakub born 12/07, Alexander born 4/13 & Olivia 12/15. Love my little crew!
Um, you are in a stable home environment with a family member who will love your child and doesn't mind watching him while you finish your education so you can make a better life for your son? That sounds like a pretty good situation to me. It's not ideal, but you have support. Support is what matters. If you don't want to give your child up for adoption, DO NOT LET HIM TALK YOU INTO IT. You will regret it. If he chooses to not be in his child's life, that's on him, no you.

The thing that I don't get the most is I have told him on multiple occasions, if you don't want to be a dad then don't be. I've even offered him papers to sign releasing all of his rights so that he will never have to pay child support or anything, and he refuses. He says that no matter what whether he wants to or not he will always be there for his son because that's his job now. It just doesn't make sense.
