Sherrel Jones: Pig Out on Figs
My desire to grow and enjoy luscious figs from my own backyard has grown over several decades. I was reintroduced to this wonderful fruit by my husband's parents soon after our marriage. They lived in Houston at the time and had a huge fig tree in their backyard. It produced bushels of large green Celeste figs. The Celeste is a soft chartreuse green on the outside opening to a honey sweet meaty pink interior.
I quickly developed a case of "Fig Envy" always visiting them during fig season and returning home with carefully packed boxes of them for us to enjoy back in our home on the Oklahoma Prairie. These beautiful figs were 2 to 2½ inches across and nearly 2 inches tall. Being the gardener that I am, I began reading about ways to grow these beauties. I was hopeful as my aunt managed to grow similar figs in her Wagoner backyard. Even though Wagoner was a planting zone away from Enid, I was encouraged.
For several years I was able to travel with a small group of fellow food writers and a couple of writing coaches to inspiring destinations from California to France and Italy. We took up brief residences in everything from a vineyard home in the wine country to a lovely Chateau in Burgundy, followed by an amazing retreat on a remote Umbrian hillside. There we lived and breathed the bounty of Italian Country life feasting on figs from large trees next to our patio.
I returned home determined to grow figs of our own. I ordered a tree noting that the Brown Turkey would probably be best suited to our climate. My reading turned up one method used in Italy which helped in marginal fig-growing areas. In the fall after fruiting, the roots of the tree are severed on one side. On the opposite side, a sort of grave is dug and the tree is folded down into it and buried for the winter.
Well-marked in the garden, it is brought upright in the spring to thrive again. Apparently these Italian growers never met an Oklahoma gopher! In my garden they obviously got quite cozy with my little tree and devoured every last twig and root of the thing. After that, I bought another tree, planted it in a huge pot and dollied it in and out of the garage between seasons. Each year there were a handful of figs at best.
Two years ago, I just planted it in the very center of our garden. It thrived, grew five times its size and produced two handfuls of small figs. This year, we had enough for the raccoons, birds, squirrels and ourselves. What a treat. Figs on cereal, in oatmeal, in fresh homemade jam, for snacks and in my food writing group's favorite appetizer: Roasted prosciutto wrapped Figs with Gorgonzola.
I share this memory to encourage you to pick up a container of figs to enjoy if you see them in some local markets or even to try your luck at growing your own. If you live anywhere south or east of our home north of Enid, it is possible. If demand for them increases, we will likely see more of these beautiful fruits in the seasons ahead.
Roasted Fig and Gorgonzola with prosciutto Wrap
If you get some figs, try this amazing little combination. You could use domestic goat cheese, but if you have a source for sweet Italian Gorgonzola it is wonderful. Build these with friends while the steaks are grilling. Serve several as a special treat along side a soup or salad for a light lunch. Allow 3 or 4 per person depending on other foods you may be serving with them.
8 ripe but slightly firm figs cut in half after removing any woody stem (cut a slit in side of smaller figs to insert cheese)
3 to 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese (Goat cheese can be used.) Plan to use about a teaspoon with each portion.
4 slices prosciutto cut or torn into strips about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long.
Cook's notes: If you have large fig leaves, they make a beautiful bed under the figs on a tray or serving platter.

Oklahoma State basketball: Kendra Suttles' versatility a big plus for Cowgirls
STILLWATER — About four minutes into Oklahoma State's last game against Texas-Pan American, Kendra Suttles checked in for the first time.
And it didn't take for her long to make an impact.
She scored the next eight points for the Cowgirls to help them build an early lead and cruise to their fourth straight victory to start the season. And before the night was over, she had added five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal.
Suttles will continue to be relied on as a valuable member of OSU's post rotation when the No. 18 Cowgirls (4-0) face Texas State on Wednesday night at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
"She's a difference-maker, because she does have such a unique skill set to the game," OSU coach Jim Littell said.
The lefty from Lawton has the versatility to play inside or trail on the fast break and shoot the 3 from the top of the key. Littell also called Suttles the best passer on the team — yes, better than point guard and playmaking whiz Tiffany Bias.
"She's just got a knack for getting the ball to the open person," Littell said. "She really understands our offense as well as anybody that we've got. Her basketball IQ is very, very high."
But a more subtle development in Suttles' game is the most encouraging for Littell. At one point during the second half of the UTPA contest, Littell looked up and noticed Suttles diving on the floor for a loose ball.
"That's a change for Kendra Suttles," Littell said. "A very positive change. I'm proud of her that she's playing harder."
Added Suttles: "Last year, (Littell) used to get on me a lot about not playing hard. I know if I'm getting on the floor, that's me trying to play hard. I'm just trying to do a lot of that more this year."
Suttles started 20 games a season ago, and Littell said he's open to tweaking this year's lineup at times for specific personnel matchups. For now, though, Suttles is a key component of a relatively thin bench for the Cowgirls.
And she's happy to fill any role that's needed.
"I'm willing to play whatever position my team needs me to," she said. "I don't really like to just score that much. I like to help my team out and do what I have to."
Oklahoma State vs. Texas State

Sor's Group
This is the first loan for Sor with VisionFund, while the other two members, Loeum and Ith, have been with VisionFund for two previous loan cycles. Now leading her group of three members to apply for a loan, Sor will use her portion for land preparation and to buy fertilizer. She hopes to increase her crop's yield and quality so she can sell it for a good price. She would like to set aside some money for building on her savings so she can afford a hand tractor for the family's business.
Additional Information
About VisionFund CambodiaVisionFund Cambodia is a Christian organization and microfinance institution that provides small loans and other financial services to improve the lives of children, empower poor women and their families, and grow successful businesses. The organization works primarily in rural parts of Cambodia and has distinguished itself by targeting the very poor who require smaller loan sizes, regardless of religious beliefs, gender or ethnic background.
Kiva lenders' funds will help the organization to expand into the northeastern provinces of the country, which have historically been underserved and difficult to reach with financial services.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

(WJLA) - You can read emails, get directions, and access the Internet - all from your Google glasses.
On Tuesday morning, Google lifted the curtain on a line of stylish frames and prescription lenses for the gadget. Frames will cost between %150 and $225 a piece, plus the cost of lenses if you need a prescription.
You'll also have to buy the Google Glass device itself, which retails for about $1,500. Users can attach or remove the Google Glass computer device from the frames as needed.
And in other news, are you buying what you think you're buying at the grocery store?
If you're only reading the front of the package, many times you might not be. There are a few common misconceptions, according to a registered dietician.
First, bread labeling can be tricky. Although it may say "wheat" or "multi-grain," it doesn't mean it's whole grain bread - you want to look for it to say 100-percent.
Also, the term "light" can be confusing. It can be spelled two different ways, but mean the same thing. It can mean less calories, fat, or sodium than a food's original counterpart.
Meanwhile, when it comes to the best values in public and private education, the winners are the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Williams College in Massachusetts.
UNC costs $17,400 per year in tuition, while Williams costs $58,900 a year -- but the average freshman receives about $40,000 in grants.

Political Winds Shift Among Miami's Cuban Exiles
Political Winds Shift Among Miami's Cuban Exiles
Politics in Miami have long been affected by the issue of Cuba. Hardliners who wanted Fidel Castro ousted have held sway over Washington's approach to the communist island.
But the mood in Miami has been changing. Some of the most ardent exiles, people who tried to crush Castro through economic means, are changing their tune.

Someone I know has been having relationship problems with their spouse for several months. There was some kind of incident yesterday. She is giving a lot of clues that there may be abuse or something bad going on it is hard to say as she doesn't want to talk about it. She has asked me if she can stay in the spare room of my apartment and is saying she wants a divorce.
I feel like this is not ok but want to help her and because my parents live in the same town as me I am debating moving in with my parents and letting her have my apartment for a while until she has this straightened out. Does this seem like the right move as opposed to staying in the apartment with her or telling her I can't help? She has no family or friends in the area and is from far away. I am not sure what to do as I don't want to turn my back on her but also do not want to exacerbate an already bad situation.

Let's start with the Madisonville Community Arts Center, a "new" performance facility. It's actually the former Madisonville Senior Center, but it's being given a whole new identity by three performing arts specialists ED COHEN, DEE ANNE BRYLL and DAN DERMODY. (If Cohen and Bryll's names sound familiar, it could be because they're nominees for this year's Cincinnati Entertainment Awards as the co-directors of Cincinnati Music Theatre's production of Ragtime. To vote, by the way, you can go to citybeat.com/cea or use the ballot on page 60.) The three of them have been working on a dream to create a broad-based venue that's affordable to performers and audiences. The Madisonville facility, located at the intersection of Sierra Street and Whetzel Avenue, just north of Madison Road in Madisonville, will include an art gallery (managed by Litsa Spanos of Art Design Consul-tants, Inc.), a theater, a studio shop, classrooms and more. Cohen et al. have leased the building for $1 annually for five years, and Jim Tarbell's City of Cincinnati Arts & Culture Committee awarded them a $75,000 grant for capital improvements. Cohen estimates it will take $400,000 to create the facility they've envisioned, but he anticipates lots of interest from Greater Cincinnati's community theaters and aspiring semi-professional groups. Indeed, in conjunction with the center's first public viewing on Monday, NEW VOICE THEATER will announce its first set of scheduled productions, to be presented next summer at the Center. New Voice, the brainchild of community theater director SKIP FENKER and Cirque du Soleil conductor and CCM grad RICHARD OBERACKER (himself a one-time Cincinnati community theater performer who's now works on an international level -- he conducted The Lion King during its Cincinnati tour stop in 2003), has conducted several one-night fund-raisers -- see To Do, page 30. The fledgling group, which has lots of talent and connections to back up its enthusiasm has set its sights set on an ambitious summer season of work for 2005. Plans are in the works for the area premiere of Adam Guittel's FLOYD COLLINS next July, and perhaps a second local premiere of a recent dramatic work, which Cohen has been asked to direct with a cast of noteworthy professionals (rights are still being negotiated). For more information about the Madisonville facility: 513-831-3904; for information about New Voice Theater: www.newvoicecincy.com. ...
In a more immediate "new" vein, this is the week when Dayton's HUMAN RACE THEATRE COMPANY presents the world premiere of WAS, a musical about a search for the "real" Dorothy Gael, the central character in The Wizard of Oz. The show, developed at Lincoln Center Theater, is the work of composer/lyricist Barry Kleinbort; it's already won several awards, even before receiving a full staging. Based on Geoff Ryman's popular novel of the same title, this is not a kid's show -- in fact, Human Race is saying it's not recommended for children under the age of 13. Opening Thursday, the show runs through Oct. 31. Look for Tom McElfresh's review later this week. Tickets: 937-228-3630. ...
And one more "new" item on the theater horizon: Spring-boarding in part from a fine new theater facility in the Gallagher Center, XAVIER UNIVERSITY has created a new theater minor under the department of classics. Formerly called "performance studies" in the department of communication arts, the minor combines academic training with hands-on experience in various areas of theater, emphasizing acting and directing. The new minor will work in association with the student-run Xavier Players, which stages productions, and their "Theatre of Conscience" philosophy, an outgrowth of XU's programs in ethics, religion and society. The Cincinnati area is already blessed with several excellent theater training programs, including the nationally renowned College-Conservatory of Music at UC, plus Northern Kentucky University's ambitious program. Xavier's new minor is a welcome addition.

Bad quality
This review is from: DIAMOND GC500 USB 2.0 HD Game Console Video Capture Device
Pros: The quality is better then easy cap but it is stil bad enough where i was just as happy with a cheaper capture method. I would go all for hauppage which is what I am doing now once i find the best priced model for what I need. Not good enough for youtube videos IMO...
Cons: Bad quality

Poor Quality
This review is from: DIAMOND GC500 USB 2.0 HD Game Console Video Capture Device
Pros: Easy to connect and setup
Cons: Horrible picture quality. Color is too saturated. Contrast is too high. Tried all different settings and it improves to the equivalent of a copy of a copy of a VHS tape. Try a different brand or an internal card.

DHAKA, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Bangladesh sold third generationmobile phone spectrum to four of the country's mobile telephoneoperators for a total of $525 million at a much-awaited auctionon Sunday, the telecoms regulator said.
Top operator Grameenphone, which is majority owned byNorway's Telenor, won the auction to acquire 10megahertz of spectrum for $210 million.
Egyptian Orascom Telecom's Banglalink, Robi, ajoint venture between Malaysia's Axiata Group andJapan's NTT DoCoMo, and Airtel, majority owned byIndia's Bharti Airtel, won bids for 5 megahertz ofspectrum each at a price of $105 million.
The upgrade to a faster 3G network was needed to widenInternet access in Bangladesh, one of the world'sfastest-growing telecoms markets, said Sunil Kanti Bose,chairman of the Bangladesh Telecommunication RegulatoryCommission.
The operators have to pay 60 percent of the total price ofspectrum as the first instalment within a month and the balancewithin the next three months, he said.
State-owned mobile operator Teletalk last year launched the3G service on a test basis. Teletalk will have to pay $210million for 10 megahertz.
Another operator, Citycell, a joint venture between PacificBangladesh Telecom Limited and Singapore Telecommunications, was out of the auction after failing to deposit the$20 million earnest money.
The country's six mobile phone operators have a total of 107million users while internet services lag far behind with nearly40,000 subscribers. (Reporting by Ruma Paul; Editing by Clarence Fernandez)

BMI V iew: We have revised up our forecast for South African sugar production in 2013/14 on favourable weather conditions, strong yields and plantings. Because global sugar prices have fallen below local production costs, cheap sugar imports - from Brazil in particular - are flooding the market. As a result, the local sugar industry has applied for an increase in the reference price at which sugar import tariffs kick in. This would especially benefit large producers, which have seen margins increase in spite of falling prices.
We have revised up our forecast for 2013/14 South African sugar production to 2.3mn tonnes (from 2.1mn tonnes previously) owing to favourable weather conditions and strong yields and plantings. This rise in production will increase South Africa's production surplus from 142,900 tonnes in 2012/13 to 405,800 tonnes in 2013/14, boosting the country's export potential. The country's largest sugar producers, Illovo Group and Tongaat Hulett, reported strong export volume growth in Zimbabwe and Mozambique, even though values were affected by lower sugar prices and unfavourable exchange rates.
|Staying On Top Of Demand
|South Africa - Sugar Production & Consumption ('000 tonnes)
Because global sugar prices have fallen below local production costs, cheap sugar imports - from Brazil in particular - are flooding the South African market, harming the domestic industry. The country is set to import about 400,000 tonnes of sugar in 2013/14, which compares with about 200,000 tonnes in past seasons. The projected 2013/14 export volume is equivalent to the output of three sugar mills, which could cause 40,000 job losses if import restrictions are not put in place according to local industry sources. In response, the industry is applying to have the threshold at which protective measures kick in more than doubled. The Sugar Association of South Africa (SASA) requested in March that the 'dollar-reference price' for imports of sugar into the country be increased from an existing US$358/tonne to US$764/tonne. This compares with a global price of US$339/tonne. This means that when sugar is cheaper than US$764/tonne (it is US$358/tonne currently), tariff measures apply to protect the industry. It is likely that the International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC) of South Africa, to which the request has been made, will accept the change.
|Still Low By Recent Standards
|Front-Month ICE Sugar (USc/lb, weekly) & RSI (below)
SASA has previously requested for an increase in the price at which sugar import tariffs kick in, in 2008 when global prices reached a low. At that point, the SASA applied for an increase in the reference price from US$330/tonne to US$400/tonne, premised on what it perceived to be a 60% distortion of international sugar prices. The request was not granted fully, but ITAC increased the reference price to US$358/tonne as a compromise. A similar type of decision could be made this time, especially as local production costs have risen significantly over the past five years.
|Strengthening Margins
|Select Companies - Operating Margins (%)
We believe these issues have not affected the country's largest producers, which, because of their size and geographical diversification, managed to increase operating margins over recent years even in a context of collapsing global sugar prices. Illovo Sugar's margins have steadily increased from 12.7% in FY2011 to 17.1% in FY2013, while Tongaat Hulett's margins have been strong, increasing from 13.6% in FY2011 to 14.7% in FY2013. Both companies have reported more efficient cost management, especially at their mills, thanks to increasing scales and better technology. Also, investment in crushing capacity in neighbouring countries is starting to pay off, with booming local production compensating for high fixed costs.
|Rebound To Come
|Tongaat Hulett - Share Price (ZAR, weekly) & RSI (below)
In the event that ITAC grants an increase in the reference price, resulting in protective tariffs for imports, both Illovo and Tongaat Hulett would benefit from higher domestic prices, helping their margins further up in the near term. This could benefit their valuations, which decreased on a price/earnings basis in recent months. The decision would have contrasting effects on companies involved further down the line in the consumer sector. Tiger Brands, the Federation of Soft Drink Manufacturers and the South African Chocolate and Sweet Manufacturers Association have opposed the application, arguing that it would significantly raise their input costs or hurt private consumption growth.

The app works fine in the emulator, but after installation on a phone, it crashes every time on launch, and logcat shows no errors.
What am I supposed to do when something like this happens?
My Suggestion for easier resolution of your problem :
Run the app from the eclipse in debug mode on the Phone . It will make it run on debug mode. You will most likely get more debug output.
Turning the Debug Mode on ( Note : This isn't the 'ADB connection' we are referring to ) , It will enable further logging of the application and doesn't do garbage collection normally.
( You will notice a 'Waiting for debug connection' dialogue , if the applications are forced to work in debug mode ).
For e.g :It makes the Async threads keep running and doesn't stop running. Crude and irrelevant for your case . But just as an example.
So , Since the Applications in the phone are forced to run in debug mode , it will get the logcat with detailed errors down to the specific threads.
However, the debug mode is better used when it's used in conjunction with "Debug As" run configuration from Eclipse. And keep in mind that it will automatically turn on that debug application mode ( And there by the dialog box also) , the logcat will show you more details and plus it will break-point at the errors which occur ,in their sequence of occurence.
Regarding what Ares told, When you want to do the debugging of a process directly,
Install a tool like AndroidSystemInfo that can show you the logfile on the phone - even when you are away from the host computer.
It is pretty unusual that Android leaves no trace whatsoever.
Does your app perhaps require features that the phone does not have (e.g. a camera or gps or nfc)?
In Eclipse you should go to DDMS, then click on device's name or android.os in
Put your own logs to track what block of code cause crashe, or just debug it.
I restarted my emulator and cleaned my build. This got rid of both the non-logging and the spurious crash I was having

Thanks Astinus, I will however change the setting a bit in hindsight.
Instead of a pokecenter the people are gathered at a breeding area where they are giving away 3 pokemon. The general idea is that pokemon are rarely seen in the wild (Much like the Orre region) and when there is an opportunity to get a pokemon many kids jump at it
The reason don't want a lab with starters is that it really doesn't make much sense to me. (I mean why are scientists giving out pokemon that they study.)
The Questions were to give people something to think about, I also wanted to point out that I left a lot of freedoms, I didn't name the character (and he could easily be a nameless protagonist), I never mentioned rivals, I didn't specify a pokemon, and I didn't give a specific region (though one can assume pokemon are scarce or illegal to catch in the wild there).
I do apologize for the grammar mistakes, I have a slightly above average grade in a tenth grade English class level.

Punishment for Gluttons
"If this is what fasting is like, then I guess I'm okay with it." Thus speaketh one contented parishioner, his plate heaped with fried fish, canned green beans, and a foil-shrouded spud. A volunteer waitress cruises past with a pitcher of punch, dutifully filling glasses until every child within a three-table radius is tweaking on sucrose. For a few moments, conversation is minimal; everyone's tucking into his or her supper with laserlike focus. Perhaps the definition of "fasting" needs a postmillennial update.
Here at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Robbinsdale, the fish fry is equal parts prayer circle, social hour, and Def Polka Jam. Held in the gymnasium adjacent to the church each Friday during Lent, the fry attracts hordes of churchgoers ravenous for God's forgiveness and deep-fried walleye. This certainly ain't no hunger strike, though it is a ritual grounded in religious tradition: Lenten fish suppers have been a staple of Catholic parishes since time immemorial. Designed to make an ascetic practice (abstaining from meat) seem like a rollicking good time, fish suppers stand alongside hot cross buns and Advent chocolate in the grand canon of Catholic comforts.
If you suspect this ritual is nearing death, note that nearly every fast-food joint in town features specially priced fish items on Fridays; when a non-secular practice affects your Happy Meal, you know it's widespread. Over 20 area churches are hosting fish suppers this season (one creative iglesia in St. Paul dishes up cheese enchiladas instead.) Clearly, the Friday fishstravaganza is alive and well.
Tonight, as always, local polka king Bob Gacek is stationed in a corner of the gymnasium with his accordion. As Gacek sings robust standards like "Who Stole the Kishka?" and "Happy Wanderer," a toddler staggers across the gym floor in a dogged attempt to boogie. Three teenaged boys hang out near the periphery of the dance floor, looking like unlikely participants with their facial piercings and mall-punk clothes. But when asked if the fish fry is a decent place to meet girls, one replies, "Excuse me? This is, like, church!" Bless you, child. At the other end of the gym, two women man the ever-popular brownie table. "The polka is my favorite part of doing this," one of them says earnestly, cocking her ear toward Gacek's groaning bellows. "It's the music that keeps bringing me back," a kitchen volunteer offers, cautiously pulling a cart loaded with (real!) dinnerware. Churches can always be counted on to have actual plates and glasses.
In the gymnasium's kitchen, the scene is one of controlled chaos. As the cooking crew slaves over a blistering deep fryer, volunteer servers queue up to fill their trays with fish, bread, and veggies (there's also spaghetti for that authentic taste of Minnesota Eye-talian.) "We always have fun," a breathless kitchen slave declares. "I've done this every week (of Lent) for eight years." A trio of Girl Scouts loiters nearby, hoping to lure sated participants to their cookie table for dessert. "You should buy some Pinatas," one of them insists. "They're so good." Lead us not into carb consumption, badge-laden temptress!
A surprisingly efficient cadre of middle-schoolers has been dispatched to wait tables and clear dishes. One of them smiles relentlessly, baring a mouthful of azure braces. When questioned as to why any red-blooded kid would volunteer to sling hash on a Friday night, she replies, "I'm doing it for my confirmation hours. We have to do a certain amount of community service before we can get confirmed." Does it suck? Not according to these future leaders. "I like serving people," a young boy in a rock tee explains. "It's just a nice thing to do." Nearby, a group of much smaller children plays an anarchic game of tag. None of them are able to explain why Catholics don't eat meat on Fridays, but they seem appropriately guilty about not being able to answer the question.
One of the fish fry's longtime organizers attempts an explanation: "Fish is kind of a sacramental thing," she offers vaguely. "Meat is a happy thing. During Lent, we're supposed to feel what Christ felt on the cross." Full? Historical basis notwithstanding, a fish fry inevitably brings out the faithful in droves. Self-denial can be delicious.

Stocks fell on Monday after a disappointing reading on U.S. manufacturing activity weighed against an upbeat reading in China.
The S&P 500 closed at 1409.46, down 6.72 points or 0.5 per cent. The blue-chip Dow Jones industrial average closed at 12,965.60, down 59.98 points or 0.5 per cent. In Canada, the S&P/TSX composite index closed at 12,169.74, down 69.62 points or 0.6 per cent.
Major indexes had seen modest gains in earlier trading after China reported that its manufacturing index rose to its highest level in seven months, providing evidence that the country's economy is turning around after a sluggish period of declining economic growth.
However, the ISM manufacturing index in the United States fell to 49.5 in November from 51.7 in the previous month, putting activity at its lowest point since July 2009. Some economists believe the dip was due to Hurricane Sandy, while others pointed to the effects of the fiscal cliff.
Meanwhile, squabbling between Republicans and Democrats over budget proposals continued, even as the fiscal cliff of automatic tax increases and spending at year-end neared. After last week's dismissal of Barack Obama's plan, the Republicans countered with their proposal on Monday, offering $800-billion (U.S.) in additional tax revenue without raising tax rates – or about half of what the President proposed.
Dell Inc. rose 4.4 per cent, closing just above $10 (U.S.) after an analyst at Goldman Sachs raised the recommendation on the stock to "buy" from "sell," and hiked the price target to $13 from $9.
Ford Motor Co. fell 0.4 per cent after reporting that its new-vehicle sales rose 6.5 per cent in November over last year.
