A have a ballerina figurine with a blue "N" on the bottom .... who made it?
Your ballerina looks similar to Nao Lladro figurines I just can figure out what particular one it is since there is no mention of any year from your end. Anyways most of those kind of figurines sell for $100 or lesser unless it is a rare kind.
I added a picture of the cobalt blue N marking on the bottom of the figurine .... was this ever used to identify Nao Lladro figurines?
That's not a figurine from Nao Lladro. The trademark is no the same. the N on your figurine looks as though it was written with a pen. However, I haven't seen any manufacturer that caries that trademark yet. Capo di Monte's N always carries a crown. Without the "n", it looks like a Staffordshire figurine. But from where I am sitting, I can't possibly tell. Also, it's possible it was made specially for a certain Aristocrat family, back in the days. I will advise that you take that piece to an antique store and get it appraised when you have the time. Best of luck

I would now like to turn the call over to Michael Cimini of The IGB Group for introductions and the reading of the Safe Harbor statement. Please go ahead, sir.
Michael Cimini
Thank you, and welcome to the Horizon Technology Finance second quarter 2013 conference call. Representing the company today are Rob Pomeroy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Jerry Michaud, President; and Chris Mathieu, Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, I would like to point out that the Q2 press release is available on the company's website at www.horizontechnologyfinancecorp.com.
Now, I'll read the following Safe Harbor statement. During this conference call, Horizon Technology Finance will make certain forward-looking statements including statements with regard to the future performance of the company. Words such as believes, expects, anticipates, intends, or similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements.
These statements are subject to the inherent uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ on a material basis from those projected in these forward-looking statements, and some of these factors are detailed in the risk factor discussion in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The company undertakes no obligations to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Rob Pomeroy. Rob?
Robert D. Pomeroy Jr.
Good morning, and thank you all for joining us. We are pleased to report two important accomplishments during the second quarter. First, that we earned net investment income of $0.38 per share, and earned a portfolio yield of 14.5%. Our second quarter NII more than covered our dividends of $0.345 per share paid in the second quarter, and we maintained a portfolio of quality, high yielding assets, delivering solid financial results for shareholders.
Second, we also strategically enhanced Horizon's future earnings potential. Specifically, in May we reduced the interest rate on our revolving credit facility, and in June we issued $90 million of asset-backed notes at a fixed interest rate of 3%. At June 30, we have over 90% of our borrowings locked in with a fixed interest rate.
Today I would like to speak to the Horizon venture lending strategy, the earnings power of our high-quality portfolio, and the value proposition of owning shares in Horizon. Horizon is a leading provider of secured loans to venture capital backed, development stage companies. We target four broad technology markets, including information technology, life science, healthcare information and services, and clean-tech. Venture lending is a smart way to play in the technology and venture capital market.
Our investments are secured loans with strong current pay yields, and we receive warrants on our transactions. These warrants allow us to participate in the upside when these young companies succeed. Conversely the secured nature of our loans, which are made at low loan-to-value protect us if the borrower runs into difficulties. As a result, the Horizon track record is characterized by low loan losses and warrant gains that exceed these losses over time.
The capital that Horizon provides to these technology companies is used to further clinical research, launch new products, ramp revenue, and reach the next technological or valuation milestone. Because our capital comes in the form of a loan rather than equity, the companies are able to advance with much less dilution to the existing owners and management teams.
As such, venture debt has become a standard tool in the venture capitalist tool box. But it is important to remember that the development curve for these young companies is not a straight line. Plans are made, altered and difficulties encountered. As a result, the venture capital investors want to be sure that they are working with the lender that understands the unique aspects of venture capital backed companies, and will work with them through sometimes difficult transitions.
Horizon has proven to be such a partner for over 10 years, and the Horizon management team has executed this strategy together for over 20 years through multiple business cycles. Why is this reputation important? It is important to the existing investors and management of Horizon's portfolio companies because they can be confident that they will have a lender that will act rationally when plans change. It is important to Horizon because it provides a seat at the table for the most interesting new opportunities that are referred to us by the venture capital community, and it should be important to investors in Horizon that look to invest in a team that has the necessary market access and market knowledge to successfully execute the venture lending strategy.
How is the Horizon strategy different from most middle market BDCs? First, we focus only on our core technology markets, where we have participated for many years and understand the unique dynamics. Horizon has a team of very experienced managing directors with deep in market expertise and strong reputations in their core markets. Second, we keep our loans small relative to the enterprise value that secures our debt, and the amounts invested by the venture capitalists are low loan-to-value and the amortizing repayment structures provide a great cushion against decreases in value.

Archived Story
Here's to you, dadPublished 6:50pm Thursday, June 16, 2011
For the two-plus years that I was sports editor at The Outlook, the column-writing portion of the job was one of the easiest for me.
First of all, the main sports topic people care about in our area is obviously college football, and I'm all over the Auburn-Alabama rivalry. I keep up with both sides, I listen to a lot of outside opinions on the subject and it's something I care about a lot, so that makes it fairly simple to think of an idea worth writing about.
Secondly, I'm a cynical person. Certain things just annoy me, especially about sports, so it's no problem for me to pick apart an issue or someone else's stance on something and turn it into, hopefully, a somewhat interesting article.
However, over here on the news side, it's a little more complicated. You have to be well-versed on a subject to make a good point, and there aren't many things outside of the sports world I'm comfortable enough about to argue.
So unless I have a lot of time to research, I have to cross most of those types of columns off the list. There are plenty of current events nationally or locally that I could probably scrap some words together about and turn it into a column, but the majority of the time, not much gets me fired up enough to actually write about.
And if it's not something that gets my full attention, it probably won't result in the best article. It would bother me to have my name on the byline of a column that I know is crappy, so unless I feel strongly about something, I usually just try to avoid it altogether.
Columns don't always have to be about news though — they can also be personal. But, that's just not my style. I don't know why people would want to read about my life for one thing, but even if they did, I'm not too comfortable letting people know things about me. It's no one's business, and like I said before, I don't just want to write something to fill space.
I know, I know … it's time to get to the point. Today I'm branching out, I'm not going to be critical or sarcastic and I'm going to talk about myself.
Well, sort of — I'm going to talk about my dad.
Sunday is Father's Day, and I probably won't get to see my dad. He and my mom and brother live three hours away and I have to work Saturday, so one day and six hours of driving is a little more than either one of us want to endure.
If we did get to hang out though, more than likely it would be on the golf course. Since I've left home and moved to Auburn almost seven years ago, I see all my relatives less and less. So, for my dad and I, playing golf is one of the best ways to spend the short amount of time we get together.
Nothing is more satisfying than taking five bucks from dad on the course. We both may be struggling to break 90, but we're trying just as hard as Tiger and Phil.
We're similar in a lot of ways, but sports are what we both relate to best. He was my little league coach growing up, and he and mom were always at my games in high school.
After all colleges inexplicably passed up the chance to offer me a baseball scholarship following my high school days (OK, had to add a little sarcasm), we had to find something else to do together and that was golf.
But even if we both couldn't play golf, we still have Auburn. Despite having mostly misguided Crimson Tide family members and friends, dad has long been sporting the orange and blue.
I'm sure he helped push me toward Auburn's side as a kid, but I remember making the decision on my own. One of the first games I can remember watching was the Alabama-Miami national title game on Jan. 1, 1993 when I was 7.
I don't recall who all we watched the game with; I just know he and I were the only two Auburn fans and that dad took some serious jabs from the rest of the room. It was then and there I decided that Alabama was evil and Auburn was pure, and I feel the same way today.
That next football season, Auburn was on probation and none of the games could be broadcast on television. We listened to each game on the radio (all 11 victories and zero losses) and we've missed very few since then.
So, dad, I won't see you Sunday, but I'll give you a call so we can discuss AU's recruiting class and to make sure I shot one stroke better than you did.
And to tell you Happy Father's Day.
Dusty Harper is news editor of The Outlook.

STAND-TO! Edition: Wednesday April 30, 2014
Today's Focus:
The U.S. Army Entertainment Program
What is it?
The U.S. Army Entertainment Program is "entertainment for the Soldier, by the Soldier." It has been a part of the Army's heritage since 1774. Building on the tradition of Civil War camp shows, and some more known military shows like Yip Yip Yaphank during World War I and This Is The Army during World War II, written and directed by then Sgt. Irving Berlin, Army Entertainment was formalized to inspire and support Soldiers and their families by coordinating, producing and delivering theatrical and musical programs at Army installations worldwide.
By incorporating the U.S. Army values and messages, the Army Entertainment program performances emphasize readiness and resiliency as well as professionalism through their many venues.
What has the Army done?
Army Entertainment is a U.S. Army Installation Management Command (IMCOM) operation and is the official agency for producing and delivering diverse musical, unit entertainment activities, special events, touring shows, talent competitions and theater entertainment to Soldiers, families, civilians and retirees at home and abroad. In addition to improving the morale of service members at home and in the field, Army Entertainment performances overseas provide a unique opportunity to help secure strategic bonds between the nation and its allies.
Army Entertainment's flagship programs include, the 'Big Three': U.S. Army Soldier Show, Operation Rising Star and Army Concert Series. In addition, the Theatre Program is the largest single producer of plays and musicals in the world, and participates actively in the American Association of Community Theatre.
This year's production of the Army Soldier Show, titled "Stand Strong," explores the foundational elements of what it is that instills the strength and character of the Soldiers and the Army. As in the past, the cast and crew are selected to exemplify the Army values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
Army Entertainment will continue to honor the Army's resilience and strength with its mission to effectively inform, educate and inspire the audiences to action.
Why is this important to the Army?
Army Entertainment is part of the IMCOM-Family and MWR portfolio of programs supporting combat readiness and effectiveness. This program has been recognized and authorized by the U.S. Congress as essential to the well-being of the Army. These programs also support recruitment and retention efforts -- if the family back home finds the security and contentment it needs, the Soldier is free to focus more on the mission.

Quote for the Day
First and foremost, I was brought up to believe that military officers should never seek praise for themselves. Our purpose is to serve others through character and leadership.
- Soldier's Medal Recipient Col. Everett Spain, modestly emphasizes the training and the values of all Soldiers, during the ceremony at the Harvard Business School school's Baker Lawn, April 18.
Col. Spain was awarded the Army's highest award for valor in a non-combat situation involving personal danger and voluntary risk of life, for his selfless actions to help the bomb victims at the 2013 Boston Marathon

Easy Side Pork
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 15 mins
This is an easy way to make side pork in the oven. No mess, easy clean-up and the results are great. A teacher friend told me this is how her grandmother made it. Definately not for the calorie counters.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 -2 lb side pork
- 1⁄2 cup flour
- 3 tablespoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt
- 1 pinch garlic granules
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Take an old cookie sheet. Spray it with Pam, In a bag, combine all ingredients except the side pork.
- Then add one strip at a time, coat evenly.
- Lay on baking sheet.
- Do this until they are all coated.
- About half way through the baking time, check and turn over with a tong.
Most Helpful
Thank so much for the GREAT recipe. We have been eating side pork for many years and this is the first time we really enjoyed it. It wasn't greasy and tasted so yummy. I didn't use the season salt cause both my husband and I have heart conditions so no salt. But I did add ground rosemary, the granulated garlic and fresh ground black pepper to the flour. Wow! We will never go back to plain old side pork.
Wow. This was amazing - Thank you! I used the dripping for gravy and had mashed potatoes with this. I am not a bacon lover and this was the perfect recipe for me! Everything I love about bacon without the overly salty and overwhelming "bacon" flavor. I could even cut down on the amount of seasoned salt. It was like "fine" bacon... I will be making this again!
Can't believe there aren't any other reviews for this great 'Easy Side Pork'!!! We'd never cooked side pork before and were more than pleasantly surprised. As mentioned elsewhere, you'll never look at bacon the same way again. I could see adding black pepper or some other spices. Great (and easy) recipe!

As recently as 2010, human-made silicene – an atom-thin form of silicon – was purely theoretical. But now the exotic material has been used to make transistors, and researchers have found that silicene's electrical properties lend it extraordinary potential in powering the next generation of computer chips.Read More
In the world of electronic components, there are many devices out there that do their job well and reliably, but are almost never heard of – even though they may be vital to equipment that plays a role in our technology-driven lives. The radio frequency (RF) circulator is just such a device: it has simply done its job as a nondescript box of gubbins buried in radio communications systems, quietly directing radio frequency signals to the places they should go. Now researchers at the University of Texas have given the RF circulator a makeover. Not only is the new prototype smaller, lighter, and cheaper, it's also claimed to be easily adapted to different frequencies on the fly, which is something the old style circulator cannot do.Read More
Researchers at the University of Texas (UT) Southwestern Medical Center have developed a technique that corrects a mutation leading to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The technique, called CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing, removes the mutation entirely in mice, and could have far-reaching consequences in the treatment of muscular dystrophy in people.Read More
A new technique pioneered by a team of scientists from the University of Texas, Arlington, may hold the key to detecting moons orbiting distant exoplanets, a feat which is currently beyond the grasp of modern astronomy. Such a technique would afford scientists a greater opportunity of discovering a planetary body capable of sustaining life. Read More
A team of international researchers has developed a molecule capable of triggering cancer cell death by carrying chloride into cancer cell membranes. The molecule flushes the cells with salt and causes them to self-destruct, potentially paving the way for new types of anti-cancer drugs. Read More
When it comes to animals with good hearing, flies might not be the first one you'd think of. The Ormia ochracea fly, however, has a unique hearing mechanism that allows it to precisely determine the location of a cricket based on its chirps ... it then deposits its larvae on the cricket, which ultimately consume the poor insect. Scientists at the University of Texas Austin have now duplicated that mechanism, with hopes that it could find use in applications such as next-generation hearing aids. Read More
Scientists at the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas have built and tested what appears to be the world's smallest, fastest, and longest-running nanomotor yet – so small that it could fit inside a single cell. The advance could be used to power nanobots that would deliver specific drugs to individual living cells inside the human body.Read More
A multinational group of scientists has developed implantable shape-changing transistors that can grip nerves, blood vessels and tissues. According to the researchers, these soft electronic devices can change shape within the body, while still maintaining their electronic properties, allowing them to be used in a variety of applications and treatments.Read More
Medical physicists at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center are latching on to advances in the computational speed of graphics processing units (GPUs) to drastically reduce the time required to calculate radiation therapy plans.

Researchers at the University of Texas have identified a star that formed in the same star cluster as our Sun. Dubbed HD 162826, the star is 15 percent more massive than the Sun and resides 110 light-years away.

A Dyersburg man died on Saturday after drowning at a popular river destination in Missouri.
Eugene Smith, 26, was pronounced dead by the Carter County, Mo. coroner at 4:26 p.m. after divers found his body in a spot on the Current River.
A preliminary report released by the Missouri State Highway Patrol states Smith was attempting to swim across the river at a location approximately 1.5 miles north of Van Buren, Mo.
Witnesses reported Smith appeared to struggle halfway across the river in a swift current. He then went under and did not resurface.
Troopers with the water-patrol division of the Missouri State Highway Patrol along with state troopers, a Missouri conservation officer and park-service personnel implemented a dragging and diving operation to recover the body.
The victim was found in 15 feet of water by divers and was pronounced dead at the scene by Carter County Coroner Eric McSpadden.
The report states Smith was not using a safety device at the time of the incident, which was the only fatal drowning reported in the state by the Missouri State Highway Patrol over the holiday weekend.
The National Park Service states over 1 million people come to canoe, camp, hike and fish every year on the Current River.

Jefferson headed from Wolves to Jazz
Updated: July 14, 2010, 7:13 PM ETAssociated Press
MINNEAPOLIS -- In their quest to get more athletic, faster and financially flexible, the Minnesota Timberwolves were looking to move power forward Al Jefferson's slow-it-down, low-post game and chunky contract.
The Utah Jazz were searching for a replacement for Carlos Boozer who can score and rebound on the block and divert some attention from star point guard Deron Williams on the perimeter.
They found the right match in each other.
The Timberwolves agreed to send Jefferson ...

Stocks Close Mixed Amid Fiscal-Cliff Jitters
TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock averages traded mixed Friday after a better-than-expected November jobs report was tempered by worries about the progress on the U.S. budget talks in Washington and dimmer consumer confidence. House Speaker John Boehner indicated Friday that there's been no signs of a breakthrough yet on the so-called fiscal-cliff negotiations.The Nasdaq slumped as the technology sector got hit the hardest in the broad market. Apple (AAPL - Get Report) shares slid 2.6%. Earlier in the morning, the stock had been extending a mini rebound from the prior session after steep declines this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 81 points, or 0.62%, at 13,155. The blue-chip index completed a third consecutive week of gains, up 1% on the week, after it had started the session up more than 7.5% in 2012. Breadth was slightly positive, with winners edging losers 24 to six. The top blue-chip advancers were JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Caterpillar (CAT), IBM (IBM) and Bank of America (BAC). McDonald's (MCD) shares also moved higher, up 0.44%, after being upgraded to "buy" at Janney Capital. The biggest laggards were Cisco (CSCO), Microsoft (MSFT) and Alcoa (AA). United Technologies (UTX) shrugged off earlier-session declines and climbed 0.15%, after the company said it reached a mutual agreement with TransDigm (TDG) to terminate the previously announced sale of Goodrich's pump and engine control systems business to TransDigm. TransDigm shares lost 3.8%. The S&P 500 added 4 points, or 0.29%, at 1,418. It inched up 0.13% for the week. The Nasdaq lost 11 points, or 0.38%, to 2,978. The tech-heavy index dropped 1.07% for the week. The biggest sector decliners, along with technology, were health care and conglomerates. The bigger gainers included the basic-materials, consumer non-cyclical, financial and energy sectors. Volumes were tepid at 3.10 billion shares on the Big Board and 1.61 million shares on the Nasdaq. Advancers were outnumbering decliners by a ratio of 1.2-to-1 on the New York Stock Exchange, but losers were defeating winners by a 1.1-to-1 on the Nasdaq. "We're seeing this bracketing of the market at roughly the low 1,400s level, and that bracketing is really being driven by the fiscal cliff ... the fiscal follies of Washington ineptness," said Michael Strauss, chief economist and chief investment strategist at Commonfund. "The economic news is good enough that it's tempering what otherwise would be a decline that would unfold because of the ineptness in Washington ... and we're seeing bracketing as opposed to producing the types of declines we saw last summer."NEW YORK (

Dudes and Dudettes, I know we all have differing views on abortion, but this takes the cake! For all you know this may be going on in a clinic near you. Do you know about 'Gendercide'…have you ever heard the term used? If not, you may be surprised to learn this is taking place in the United States of America…which is simply unbelievable to me, I cannot believe we have sunk this low, I never thought it possible!
I read about this early this morning, you may not believe it when you read this and watch the video…this is via TC:
Live Action says Planned Parenthood and other U.S. abortion providers are willing to assist in the termination of baby girls for pregnant women who choose abortion because they want to have baby boys. And the pro-life abortion watchdog says its video series and a new website will expose it all.
"This was a multi-state, national investigation demonstrating that this is a widespread problem across our country," Live Action president Lila Rose told The Daily Caller in an interview Monday.
"First of all, the statistics and studies indicate that we are adding to the growing problem across the world of sex-selective targeting of unborn girls for abortion. We are going to be demonstrating — starting with this video from Texas — that the abortion industry in the United States is aiding and abetting this horrific problem."
The first in what Live Action says is a series of videotaped incidents exposing American abortion facilities' willingness to assist in sex-selection abortions took place at a South Austin, Texas Planned Parenthood clinic. In the footage, a Planned Parenthood counselor appears to readily assist and advise a Live Action actor who said she was trying to obtain an abortion if her baby is female.
"In this video, what is astounding is that Rebecca, the Planned Parenthood counselor, starts arranging with the actor about how to get a late-term abortion," Rose said. "To wait until her pregnancy is so developed that — and using Medicaid for this, using the state to pay for the ultrasound to determine the gender, and then to do a late term abortion if it was a little girl."
Live Action would not say how many abortion providers complied with their investigators' requests or how many they visited. The group did provide The Daily Caller with a link to its unedited video footage from the South Austin clinic.
"We want people to understand the attitude of the abortion industry towards sex-selective abortion and we want people to come to their own conclusions about the acceptability of this kind of behavior," Rose explained.
A poll released this month by the Lozier Institute, a research arm of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, found that 77 percent of respondents would support a law banning sex-selective abortions. Only Illinois, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and Arizona have such laws.
There is much more to the story, including what some of our lawmakers on our side of the aisle have already done about this and are still planning on doing, click the TC link above to read the rest of the story.
Since this story broke this morning the person in the video that worked there has been fired.
The Planned Parenthood Federation of America employee seen instructing a Live Action investigator how to obtain an abortion if the child is a female in a new hidden camera video has been fired, Planned Parenthood told The Daily Caller Tuesday.
According to Leslie Kantor, a vice president for education at PPFA, an entry-level staffer — identified in the pro-life group's sting video as Rebecca — did not follow protocol and was fired within three days of the consultation.
"Six weeks ago a former staff member serving in an entry-level position did not follow our protocol for providing information and guidance when presented with a highly unusual patient scenario," Kantor wrote in an emailed statement. "Planned Parenthood insists on the highest quality patient care, and if we ever become aware of a staff member not meeting these high standards, we take swift action."
She goes on and on and on with excuses…you can read the rest here.
So friends…how do you see this issue, do you think every state in the union should outlaw this procedure? We sure as heck know Dear Leader won't place an Executive Order regarding this issue, after-all…he's voted for infanticide himself as a state senator in Chicago!
You can color me furious about this…I know one fact, Lila Rose is and has been a heroine of mine in the past to the present, we need more like this fine woman!
Planned Parenthood needs to go…tax-payers should never be forced to support abortion of any kind, especially as something as horrendous as 'Gendercide'…what say you?
Throw in your two cents…Fire Away – Inquiring Minds Want to Know!

Acadia Realty Trust Stock Downgraded (AKR)
TheStreet) -- Acadia Realty (NYSE: AKR) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, increase in stock price during the past year and impressive record of earnings per share growth. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that we feel that the company's cash flow from its operations has been weak overall.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- AKR's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 12.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 65.7%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Looking ahead, our view is that this company's fundamentals will not have much impact in either direction, allowing the stock to generally move up or down based on the push and pull of the broad market.
- 42.30% is the gross profit margin for ACADIA REALTY TRUST which we consider to be strong. It has increased significantly from the same period last year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 19.42% trails the industry average.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. When compared to other companies in the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry and the overall market, ACADIA REALTY TRUST's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to $4.23 million or 64.34% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.

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!
Anyone searching for long-term gains in natural gas has been
through an epic journey in the past year or so. From January 2011
to April 2012, natural gas prices fell an astounding 80%, dragging
energy stocks down to new multi-year lows and creating big losses
for many energy investors. Take a look at its descending trajectory
in the chart below...
But even though on the surface this may look like a colossal
failure, the reality is that this decrease is actually a reflection
of the industry's success. Energy companies were so successful at
extracting more gas from the ground that themarket simply became
oversupplied and prices crashed. It's simpleeconomics . The
supply/demand imbalance was exacerbated by an infrastructure that
hasn't fully migrated to a wide-spread natural gas consumption.
But now, after a tough year and half for natural gas and energy
stocks, the tide has begun to shift. After falling to a four-year
low below $2 in April, natural gas has quickly ralliedback up 25%
in the past six months. Take a look at the extended move lower and
recent rebound...
Rising prices or even price stability will have a positive
effect on the energy industry in general. Old natural gas projects
will consequently become more profitable while new projects will
have less risk of reporting losses. In the meantime,
as more electric utilities convert from coal to
natural gas
, the manufacturing infrastructure will start to increasingly
demand more natural gas.
But the recent jump in natural gas prices is just a
shadow of what's about to happen.
Simply put, the United States could soon become the new Saudi
Arabia of the world in terms of energy production. In fact, The
Associated Press just released a new report predicting the United
States could soon pass Saudi Arabia as the world's largest
energy producer because of its huge oil and natural gas reserves,
and growing production capacities.
The Department of Energy is forecasting that U.S.
production of crude and otherliquid hydrocarbons, including
biofuels, will average 11.4 million barrels per day next year. With
Saudi Arabia projected to produce 11.6 million barrels, it's a
virtual dead heat between the two countries. Further down the line,
Citibank is projecting domestic production levels of 13 million to
15 million barrels by 2020, which would potentially be enough to
dethrone Saudi Arabia as the energy king of the world.
If this prediction proves correct, then North American energy
stocks will likely be in position for huge gains. There will be
many different sectors and trends toprofit from, but six stand out
as the defining forces of the booming energy industry in the years
to come.
Risks to Consider: The regulatory environment will play a
critical factor in new drilling permits and total production
levels. Although permits are back on the rise in the Gulf of
Mexico, access to additional domestic energy resources in Alaska
and the East Coast is still in question.
Action to Take -->
In spite of the recent bounce, natural gas is still trading at
historically low levels. Energy stocks look the same, trading near
multi-year lows in spite of strong earnings and cash flows. This
makes this the perfect time to take a serious look at the group and
select your favorite stocks. Everyone is fearful of energy stocks
now, so it's time to be greedy and jump in ahead of the crowd.

The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development released updated unemployment figures this week for the month of August. It was good news across the state, as numbers showed a decrease in the unemployment rate in 90 of Tennessee's 95 counties including Dyer County. The unemployment rate in the county dropped from 13.2 percent in July to 12.1 percent in August. Although still significantly higher than the national average of 8.1 percent, the decrease shows that Dyer County continues to head in the right direction in 2012.
Unemployment figures this year are much lower in comparison to the same months last year with the exception of the month of July, which showed a 0.5 percent increase over July 2011 (a reflection of the Briggs and Stratton plant closing in June). The current unemployment rate, which hit a four-year low in April of this year at 10.4 percent, is a far cry from the 16 percent it was just three years ago in July 2009. While it is good to see the unemployment numbers trending downward this year, Dyersburg/Dyer County Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Allen Hester commented that there is still a lot of work to be done.
"It's still too high," said Hester. "We would like to see single-digit numbers, but it is going to be a little longer before we come through this long recession."
Dyer County has not been in single-digit unemployment numbers since December 2009. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel according to Hester.
"Our prospect activity was lowest in 2009 but was higher in 2010 and 2011 and we are on pace this year to equal or exceed the number of prospects we had last year."
Hester confirmed that there are six active prospects currently looking at Dyersburg including automotive and food-processing plants. He says that there are also local manufacturers that are contemplating various levels of expansion. According to Hester, restaurants like Cracker Barrel are locating to Dyersburg because they see a capable work force, a wonderful medical community and a successful agribusiness base. Community leaders say they continue to do all they can to sell the community to prospective businesses.
"One of our goals is to create employment opportunities for our citizens," commented Dyersburg Mayor John Holden. "We have been through some tough times that has not only affected our community, but other communities as well. However, we will continue to work hard to sell our community to prospective businesses."
Holden further commented that the city has been working to improve the community's infrastructure, which he believes will help make Dyersburg even more attractive to future businesses. Improvements such as the utility extensions out in Millsfield Highway, the addition of water towers out in Industrial Park, the building of two community safe rooms and the downtown renovations that have improved the aesthetics of the community all help to attract and retain businesses. In addition, the city continues to pursue grant funding that improves the quality of life for its citizens such as Safe Routes to Schools that will build sidewalks from neighboring communities to Dyersburg Middle School.
"We have a low tax base, quality city and county schools and an excellent medical community," said Holden. "All of these are points that sell our community."
These improvements have earned Dyersburg the distinction of being one of the top micropolitans in the country. Earlier this year Site Selection magazine recognized Dyersburg among the top 100 micropolitans studied in the country. The U.S. Census Bureau defines a micropolitan as a rural county whose largest city does not exceed a population of 50,000. Dyersburg was one of only eight micropolitans that made the list in the state of Tennessee. The recognition was confirmed recently by the Policom Corporation, an independent economic research firm that ranks metropolitans and micropolitans according to their economic strength. Dyersburg was ranked as the top micropolitan in West Tennessee and the eighth best in the state. There are 576 micropolitans in the country, 20 of them are in Tennessee.
The addition of Cracker Barrel on the north side of the interstate and the Port of Cates Landing nearing completion is bringing renewed excitement throughout the community that new jobs will be coming to the area soon. Cracker Barrel is expected to open with approximately 150 new jobs and the hope that more retailers will open businesses on that side of the interstate. Hester says that the chamber has already fielded inquiries from retailers looking to locate to that side of the interstate.
"I feel good about where we are heading long term," said Hester. "When the port comes online and the economy comes alive again we will be ready."
In the meantime there are opportunities for the over 2,100 unemployed residents to get further education. Dyersburg State Community College has created a new certificate program called Certified Production Technician. The nationally recognized certification gives individuals interested in careers in manufacturing the knowledge of how to work in an advanced production environment. Other programs that can strengthen an applicant's resume include the Career Readiness Certificate offered by the Northwest Tennessee Career Center, which introduces individuals to the work force, reviews job expectations and explains corporate hierarchies.

New Push for Crooked Oil Crackdown
In the wake of last's week Senate report on how dirty foreign money still flows into the US, an international group of energy activists pointed to the report's findings as fresh evidence for the need for more transparency in the oil, gas, and mineral industries. The exhaustive report, published by the Senate investigations subcommittee, details four corruption cases—three of them previously unreported—in which foreign individuals all from nations rich in oil or other natural resources funneled millions of dollars in "suspect funds" into the US for money laundering purposes. In several instances, that dirty money likely came from the countries' burgeoning energy sectors. The energy-transparency organization, the Publish What You Pay coalition, said the Senate's findings reveal the shadowy, corrupt figures in energy-rich nations like Angola, Nigeria, and Gabon—three countries cited in the report—and show the need for disclosure on how multinational energy companies do business in those countries. "More transparency is needed in these countries to empower citizens to prevent the theft of public funds," Isabel Munilla, Publish What You Pay's US director, said in a statement. "A comprehensive US policy response requires the passing of the Energy Security Through Transparency Act."
That legislation, introduced by Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) and Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) in September 2009, would force SEC-registered energy companies, like ExxonMobil and British Petroleum, to disclose how much they pay to foreign countries like Nigeria and the Congo to extract natural resources. Right now, information on those kinds of payments remains in the dark; the final destination of that money—be it the extraction company or the pockets of powerful foreign leaders—remains unclear. Lugar and Cardin's bill would go a long way toward tracking that money and potentially preventing those funds from ending up in the wrong hands—an all-too-often occurrence in countries where resource wealth is a curse and not a blessing and transparency is the exception and not the rule.

Vodacom stated that mobile termination rate (MTR) cuts imposed by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) from April 1 2014 will cost its business ZAR1bn (USD94mn) over a year. BMI believes Vodacom and MTN, which is also subject to asymmetric MTRs, will be able to cushion the impact by bolstering mobile data and enterprise services, but warns that rushed implementation of MTRs could set back the government's universal access goals.
|MTR Cuts Intended To Reduce Tariffs
|South Africa Vs Regional ARPU (USD)
The High Court of South Gauteng ruled the MTR cuts 'unlawful and invalid' at the end of March, but ordered them to go ahead as planned for six months while ICASA forms new regulations. Although the cost of mobile services in South Africa is still high, hasty implementation of regulation to bring this down could lead to unintended consequences. Kenya is a prime example of such a situation, where the rapid decline in MTRs kick started fierce price wars between the four mobile operators, squeezing their profits to the bare minimum. This limited operators' ability to invest in network upgrades and ultimately led to YuMobile's sudden exit from the market in March 2014 and Orange's decision to consider divesting its Kenyan unit (See 'Shutdown Of YuMobile's Network Shakes Up Kenya's Telecoms Market', March 4).
However, BMI does not expect MTR cuts to have such a drastic impact on South Africa's mobile market. The already relatively high penetration of 3G/4G in South Africa will enable operators to continue generating revenue from non-voice services, even as interconnection revenues decline. By comparison, other than Safaricom, whose business was cushioned by the popularity of M-Pesa, Kenya's operators had little in the way of non-voice services to bolster their revenues during the price wars. Furthermore, South Africa has a much more developed economy than Kenya, which has created important revenue diversification opportunities for telecoms operators in the enterprise services sector.
Nevertheless, BMI expects the ZAR1bn Vodacom anticipates losing in revenue between April 2014 and April 2015 to influence its investment strategy throughout the year. Most likely, as has been the case in Tanzania following increased taxes on the telecoms sector, Vodacom and MTN will choose to concentrate capital investments on improving mobile data networks in urban areas and scale back network expansion to underserved rural areas. With low interconnection rates the two operators will have little incentive to extend networks to rural areas, where subscribers are more likely to receive rather than make calls, meaning they generate revenue primarily through mobile termination fees. This will leave smaller operators Cell C and Telkom Mobile or the South African government to fund rural network expansion, likely at a much slower pace.
