The middle of winter is a somber time of year for the spaceflight community. The three worst tragedies of NASA's manned space program fall within just six days on the calendar, from January 27 to February 1: Apollo 1, less than three years before Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the Moon; Challenger, watched live by millions around the world; Columbia—like Challenger before it, an avoidable accident rooted in NASA's internal culture.

Grissom, seen here in one of the Mercury pressure suits, could have been the first man to walk on the Moon.
Ed White was the first American astronaut to spacewalk, on June 3, 1965.
Roger Chaffee never made it into orbit. He's seen here in Mission Control during the flight of Gemini 3, March 1963.

Apollo 1: January 27, 1967
The loss of the Apollo 1 crew (along with the spacecraft) several weeks before its intended launch date was a severe setback for America's lunar ambition. Apollo 1 was supposed to carry Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee into low Earth orbit on February 21, 1967, the first launch in a series that would culminate in a pair of American astronauts walking on the Moon's surface in July 1969. Instead, all three suffocated when fire broke out in the Command Module during what was thought to be a low-risk test.
Both Grissom and White had been into space before; Grissom was one of the original Mercury Seven, White was one of NASA's second wave of astronauts—recruited for Gemini—which saw him become the first American to walk in space. Chaffee was part of NASA's third astronaut intake, and Apollo 1 was to be his first mission.
The accident occurred on January 27 during a test that involved the Apollo spacecraft running on internal power. Grissom, White, and Chaffee were strapped in and sealed into the command module. It's thought there was a spark from one of the myriad exposed wires which quickly turned into a fire, helped no end by the oxygen-enriched environment. The pressurized atmosphere (16.7psi, 2psi above ambient) inside the spacecraft held the capsule's inward-opening hatch in place, and it was not designed to be removed quickly. The fire prevented the astronauts from trying to vent the capsule's atmosphere. Even if they had, the system would not have coped with pressures that quickly reached 29psi.
The subsequent inquiry found much that needed remedying before any more manned Apollo fights were attempted. NASA would no longer send astronauts into space in pure oxygen environments, and many flammable materials were switched out for more suitable substitutes. New "Block II" Apollo Command Modules would have hatches that could be blown open in seconds, along with design changes that covered exposed wiring and corrected many wiring faults. Six subsequent Apollo missions landed safely on the Moon and returned to earth.

From this camera position, a cloud of grey-brown smoke can be seen on the right side of the Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) on a line directly across from the letter "U" in United States. This was the first visible sign that an SRB joint breach may have occurred. Though it was concluded that the G-forces experienced during orbiter ejection and break-up were survivable, impact with the ocean surface was not. Tragically, all seven crewmembers perished.

Challenger: January 28, 1986
With Kennedy's moonshot done and dusted, public enthusiasm for space exploration waned. By the mid-1980s, Space Shuttle launches had begun to make spaceflight seem routine. So routine in fact that STS-51-L would carry a school teacher named Christa McAuliffe into space, an attempt to rekindle STEM enthusiasm among the youth of America.
Over the years, NASA's safety-first culture—which followed the Apollo 1 fire—had also waned. Engineers knew of design flaws, like the O-ring gaskets used in the Solid Rocket Boosters that became dangerously brittle below 40 degrees Fahrenheit/4 degrees Celsius. But the management culture was not receptive to such warnings, nor to entreaties that would delay launches. McAuliffe's presence on Challenger meant this launch had a higher profile than normal, with thousands of schools across America watching the live broadcast on NASA TV.
Despite unusually cold temperatures that morning, the launch went ahead as normal. 73 seconds later, Challenger broke up high over the Atlantic Ocean. As predicted, a cold and brittle O-ring seal had failed inside one of the two SRBs. A jet of superheated rocket exhaust erupted from the side of the rocket, in turn causing a failure in the attachment point between the rocket and the Shuttle's external fuel tank. Aerodynamic forces acting at supersonic speeds did the rest.
The inquiry that followed the loss of Challenger and her crew found much wrong with NASA's internal culture. The Shuttle fleet was grounded for almost three years before returning to orbit in September 1988.

Not completely true. As I said, Gen 5 reset all we know about Pokemon release. We could get a whole year with nothing new and get a new Generation game in 2014 or even remakes in 2014.
My point was, that right now what comes out next is a two way street. One street remakes, the other Generation 6. We also don't have to have a new main game so close either. Releasing in 2014 will be a two year gap between B2W2 and Gen 6 which makes perfect sense if we can still use old information.
Nintendo is releasing the new PMD this coming November in Japan, they'll give more than three months reprieve for a major title like that even if it is a spin off. Yes, we should receive information about the next game in February at the earliest, but there is no guarantee we'll get any information on a new release then either.
Now why did I say Nintendo would give, the PMD is becoming a fairly well known and requested Spin off. It doesn't sell as well as main titles, but its something that's slowly growing. Being the second Pokemon game for the 3DS and one to fully test its capabilities with 3D images instead of sprites, Nintendo stands to benefit from at least watch what happens with the games.
If the games are received well enough, both locally and internationally, then they can try to produce a main title of the same caliber. This is just what I think the reason why they pushed PMD for the 3DS over pulling it out on the DS with the rest of the Gen 5 games. Gen 5 is another Generation that split its games between two generations of consoles, the last one I can remember being Generation 3 with PMD Red and Blue. There was at least one generation 3 game for the DS thanks to that spin off. While spin offs don't mean that much, its an experiment that stands to help the company benefit with future endeavors. Especially with future console switches.
We could also end up with another generic spin off in the gap between Generations (back to 5 and 6) I mean Remakes only serve to tie us over until the next major title is released. If they are ready to move to Gen 6 then they are ready, which is one of the theories as to why Gen 5 was rushed the way it was.
If they don't fill the anime with fillers leading up to the tournament, then we're sure to get some after the tournament. We pretty much have to. Though chances are we'll get another Orange Island spin off filler. Unless they plan to air reruns for an entire year or start a new short term Anime. Either way, Unova is almost over. We have a very short period to wait for the Anime which may end in February if not in January for its hints for what's to come.

"Gayle's Birthday Necklace"
Description from Science Chick Runs Sibes: Working on my website and returning to "The Garden" combined to inspire me to create this Pick. Ruby for my birth season; carnelian as the alternate birthstone for July (would have preferred ruby here but there's only one ruby to pick at LB);tourmaline and quartz crystal for my Zodiac sign, Leo; green garnet for my birth hour; and sunstone for my birth day. I'm a "silver person" and I've added a few beads and charms that reflect what I am.
As I've been designing my website, I've added resources that I enjoy and use. So, if you'd like to try your hand at designing a Birthday Necklace, "Birthstones, etc." under Resources was put on my website for anyone to use.

Perfect! I was getting tired of counting sheep.
And tomorrow, after PETA chimes in, will it be an "Invisible Monkey" riding the goat?
Does Stephen Colbert know about this???
I don't mean this is boring, though it is kind of hypnotic. I just meant it was a great bedtime image.
I enjoy Monkey's tiny hat.
this is the perfect picture to re-discover some items from your music collection.
seriously – try it out.
works perfect with both older works of Public Enemy as well as the Public Enemies original Soundtrack….
Good call! It works well with gabber, minimal and drum&bass, too, and has every Rammstein track I tried so far hilarious.
I look at this video and I think… "Speed". I think it would have tricked the Dennis Hopper character for a long time.
Someone should show this clip to Werner Herzog, who said the following in his film Encounters at the End of the World:
"Why is it that a sophisticated animal like a chimp does not utilize inferior creatures. He could straddle a goat and ride off into the sunset."
My son reliably informs me you are wrong. He tells me it is actually a man in a monkey suit riding a goat. I believe him because he is five and is therefore an expert on this kind of thing.
Would your son be able to clarify if the goat that the man in the monkey suit is riding is two men in a goat suit or just a really big goat?
Or….is the man in the monkey suit really small?
This was supposed to be getting me to sleep and now it looks like I'm going to be up all night trying to figure it out.
There should be an intervention for that poor goat. He has a monkey on his back.
Try watching this GIF while listening to the Joaquin Phoenix version of Ring of Fire. Totally worth it.
Man, does that goat ever have a monkey on his back!
I demand more equestrian style clothes wearing monkey chasers!
It harkens back to simpler times.
Detective Chimp to the rescue!
In other Monkey News:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this animation loop go perfect with this remix?
please credit the gif creator: http://mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.tumblr.com
thank you
Also, there's got to be a "Sarah Palin/Ben Quayle in 2012" joke in there somewhere.
Terrible form…he's not posting at all!
Terrible form…he's not posting at all!
It's hard to post when your ankles are tied together under your steed, which is what it looks like to me. I can't tell if his hands are tied to the goat's collar as well, but honestly I hope so. Otherwise he'd likely be dragged under the goat's hooves if he fell off.
He's on a goat! He's on a goat!
Everybody look at him 'cause I'm ridin' on a goat!
That goat needs a re-hoof:
Try looking at it with sunglasses over one eye. Bonus 3D! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulfrich_effect)
He's racing to get to the Cat Washing Party
Is this how Cornelius graduated to mounting horses?
Now that's an effed up calvary charge.
All it needs is a bugle cry – just substitute a kazoo for the bugle.
Maybe this is Whiplash, the Cowboy Monkey's grandpa?
very interesting.
atta boy, Mark!
It goes so well with Led Zeppelins "Ramble On" that I'm crying with laughter. This monkey (and goa) made my day!
Anybody ever seen "Below the 50-50"?
Yakety Sax!!
This was obviously fated to be paired with Primus' "Jerry Was a Racecar Driver".
Well, anything by Primus, really.
Sit for a moment and consider: somebody took a quick inventory and found he was in possession of:
1. A speedy goat
2. An agreeable capuchin, with
3. Monkey-sized suit, complete with
4. Bowler hat
5. Loaded camera
6. Gassed-up camera car
7. An idle lunch hour near what looks a lot like the Angeles Crest road.
Did this person ever dream that some eighty-odd years down the road, millions worldwide would glimpse a couple dozen frames of his masterwork on their *telephones* and laugh out loud?
We've made someone's afterlife, have no doubt.
That's enough to ponder for the next eighty years or so…very deep, man.
Definitely not a monkey. Some small dog like a pug or something with a dummy body, fake arms and legs.
I challenge anyone to find a monkey with a head like that! The arms and legs are too long.
Plus a monkey would not likely sit still for that ride! A small dog might.
I think I see the TAIL sticking out back…
What do you primatologists or animal trainers think?
Definitely not a monkey. Some small dog like a pug or something with a dummy body, fake arms and legs.
And that "goat" is clearly just a bunch of cats taped together.
Yes cats. He's def. not any old goat. Some kind of Ibex maybe?
That animation jogged a dim recollection from my childhood. I believe that clip is from a Little Rascals episode. Specifically, this one:
>> The gang heads out to go swimming but wind up spending the day in a swanky hotel when Mickey switches clothes with a rich kid. He heads for the hotel with the gang, a goat and a monkey in tow.
Must have made quite an impression on me some thirty plus years ago.
And for those of you who are unfamiliar with the Little Rascals, the Mickey referred to was Robert Blake, of Baretta and Bonnie Lee Bakley fame.
Yes those TV guide style plot descriptions are the last word on the drugged animal riding the back of that goat.
Great eye on locating the clip source. I definitely would have had "Little Rascals" as one of my guesses.
I Still think that is a dog on the goat. Having worked in film production myself, this certainly seems like a efficacious choice for an animal wrangler.
Do you remember seeing the monkey in the episode?
This is from a Warner Bros film called Orange Blossoms for Violet. You can watch it on google video here http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6900103598217846300#
Somebody told me not to so I had to.
My favorite is from the 7/14/06 issue of Science –
Wow. "Orange Blossoms" is all kinda wrong. After watching that my DNA hurts for my monkey ancestors.
Who knew animals in stereotype human drag could be derogatory and racist to other animals playing racist humans?
And I definitely recognized several prominent voice actors from WB cartoons of the era.
Hmmm. Maybe "Orange Blossoms" is all kinda fresh.
I'll concede the monkey on the goat (that sounds like a kama sutra position)…
Where does a monkey need to go so quickly that he needs to ride a goat to get there?
I love watching this. I'm hypnotized by it.

With support from the Ford Foundation, the SSRC's Vietnam Program partnered with what was then the Institute of Social Sciences in Ho Chi Minh City (now the Southern Institute of Sustainable Development) to study the social consequences of Vietnam's shift to a market economy--in particular, migration flows to Ho Chi Minh City. We conducted a longitudinal study in several sites within and outside the city, while also holding methodology workshops and technical training seminars for over thirty Vietnamese researchers. Our findings appear in Urbanization, Migration and Poverty in a Vietnamese Metropolis: Ho Chi Minh City in Comparative Perspectives, edited by Hy Van Luong of the University of Toronto (National University of Singapore Press, 2009 forthcoming).Programs & Projects

NDSP currently funds twenty-eight scholars and journalists conducting research on practices of prayer throughout the world through a grants program supported by funding from the John Templeton Foundation.Programs & Projects
On behalf of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the SSRC organized and hosted a Technical Consultation on Sexual Violence and Exploitation in Conflict Situations on December 15-16, 2005. The Consultation convened a wide range of experts, including scholars and practitioners across the fields of public health, human rights, demography, epidemiology, political science, statistics, and conflict resolution. The goal was to assess the potential and propose first steps for designing and piloting a standardized system for the assessment, monitoring, and reporting of sexual violence and exploitation in conflict situations. .Programs & Projects

Established on 1 November 2012, the Affinity Group on the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is a network of leading scholars and researchers working on the DRC who are deeply familiar with the context of the current challenges facing the country after two decades of war, and who can provide long-term analysis and recommendations to help inform international engagement in the region. This "brain trust" on the DRC provides analysis of the crises facing the DRC and situates these challenges in a long-term view of the political, social, and security trends in the country and the region. Where necessary, the Affinity Group identifies gaps in existing evidence and knowledge and undertakes the necessary research to fill the knowledge gaps identified by its analysis. As with the landmark Ford Foundation Study Group on South Africa in the 1980s, and the short-lived UN Secretary-General's Resource Group on the DRC established in 1998 at the start of the Second Congo War, the Affinity Group on the DRC seeks to keep its analysis and research firmly distinct from advocacy efforts, yet remains flexible to respond to and help inform policy processes.

UNESCO commissioned the SSRC'S HIV/AIDS Program in 2006 to assess the social science, public health, and public policy literature dealing with the sociocultural and gender dimensions of the HIV and AIDS pandemic. Following the publication of an in-depth literature review, the SSRC and UNESCO invited more than twenty senior scholars, policy makers, and practitioners from around the world to contribute to an edited volume about the failure of policies and programs to respond to the growing feminization of the HIV and AIDS pandemic. The volume, co-edited by SSRC Senior Adviser Jennifer Klot and medical anthropologist Vinh-Kim Nguyen,The Fourth Wave: Violence, Gender, Culture & HIV in the 21st Century will be co-published by the SSRC and UNESCO in 2009. Working papers and an interactive essay forum will be launched in summer 2009. .Programs & Projects

The SSRC Migration Program is sponsoring research to investigate the family, community, and national lives of Christian (Pentecostal), Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist migrants in London, Johannesburg, and Kuala Lumpur. The plan is to produce edited volumes about the religious lives of migrant minorities in each of city and a fourth volume on the themes common to the three sites. This project marks the first attempt by social scientists to compare internationally the role of world religions in the adaptation of migrants to different national contexts.Programs & Projects

The SSRC's Middle East and North Africa Program has undertaken an initiative to explore the role of the Arab university. We are focusing in particular on the efforts being made by academic communities to secure critical spheres of autonomy (vis-à-vis teaching, research, and publishing)--a process that is crucial for a functioning higher education sector and a lively public sphere. Another area of focus is Arab university governance: how has it evolved in response to national, regional, and global restructurings, and what impact has this had on the role of the university?.Programs & Projects

In response to the growing interest in the possible contributions that migrants' remittances can make to development, we have assembled an anthology of research articles that address this process as related to both internal and international migration. The overall goal has been to provide access to articles that bring key conceptual, methodological, and theoretical approaches to topics of central interest to both researchers and policy makers through contemporary research drawn from across the social sciences. Though much of the research is economic in approach, we also provide research based in anthropology, sociology, political science, and other disciplines. This anthology is an experiment in publication. By agreement with the authors and original publishers, the articles provided for free downloading here will be available for one year, until March 2010. At that time we will reassess whether the anthology should and can be continued and, if so, in what form. Most publishers have allowed free access to their publications; some have charged a fee or imposed other restrictions; others have refused to permit open access to their publications on a "third party" website, even for a fee. Readers of this anthology are encouraged to download the articles provided for personal and educational use. To download the anthology, go to: Web Anthology Online Forum.Programs & Projects

What does climate change have to do with democracy? Quite a bit, it turns out. But the political dimensions of climate policy have not been adequately explored by researchers, while the climate problem is at a critical moment both of understanding and political action. Professors Robert O. Keohane (Princeton University) and Nancy Rosenblum (Harvard University) are leading an interdisciplinary group of scholars to address the difficulties that democracies encounter in responding effectively to climate change. The temporal and geographical dimensions of climate change are unusual for democratic institutions, and its public goods nature poses difficulties in getting the incentives for effective action right. The climate change policies of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, exemplified in the Kyoto Protocol, have not worked well. Framing the issue almost entirely in terms of reducing emissions, rather than also emphasizing adaptation and building infrastructure, generated a narrow pathway toward effectiveness. With respect to this mitigation pathway, the emphasis under Kyoto was on legally binding commitments, with targets and timetables set in advance of state action—a demanding approach that would have required greater than available political commitment to succeed. COP21 negotiations took a different approach, beginning with national pledges for voluntary action, with arrangements—as yet, not sufficiently well-defined—for periodic review and transparency. Whether this approach generates more progress will depend in considerable measure on how whether the review process is progressively strengthened and how well it works over the next few years. The Working Group on Climate Change is taking a longer-term perspective, aiming to catalyze new understandings of the politics, sociology, and political theory of climate change policy in a historical and comparative perspective. The aim is to stimulate and reorient social scientific work on climate change, encouraging linkage to the study of social movements in the United States and elsewhere, to the analysis of institutions, international, transnational, and domestic, and to rethink received wisdom on the relation of science and democratic deliberation. The hope therefore is to make a contribution to politically effective action which responds meaningfully to ongoing climate change.

The American public's trust in government, and especially in Congress, the central institution of representative democracy in the U.S., stands near all-time lows. In this mistrust of democratic institutions, Americans are not alone in the world. Yet they are right to worry. The U.S. system, with its complex array of checks and balances, usually requires broad consensus to function. But this consensus rarely emerges in this era of ideological polarization, close two-party competition, and hyperpartisanship. Meanwhile, policy challenges continue to mount, amidst growing economic, social, and political inequalities. The Anxieties of Democracy program's Working Group on Institutions was created to address contemporary concerns about the performance and legitimacy of representative political institutions. Co-chaired by Professors Frances Lee (University of Maryland) and Nolan McCarty (Princeton University), this group operates under two assumptions: first, polarized parties are a fact of life, given the long evolutionary processes that have ideologically sorted the parties and that have finally brought U.S. parties into alignment with those in other advanced democracies. Second, major constitutional reform altering the U.S. system will not be forthcoming. If these two assumptions are correct, what does this mean for policymaking, federalism, and the functioning of American institutions of government? Products will aim to stimulate and reorient social scientific work on government institutions, linked to the study of social movements and institutions in the United States and elsewhere.

What are the obstacles to effective citizenship? How do these condition the representation of citizen preferences and the legitimacy of the political system? Co-chaired by Professors Larry Bartels (Vanderbilt University) and Claudine Gay (Harvard University), this working group focuses on the capacity of citizens in democratic polities to equally and impartially access and influence political life. It also explores how these obstacles are likely to evolve over time and what might be done to strengthen the connection of citizens and civil society to the state. The ambition is to stimulate new scholarship and to introduce social science research into public conversations about citizen participation. The organizing mandate for this working group was designed broadly in order to provide ample opportunities for working group members to shape the group's direction. We have invited colleagues with the proclivity to contribute effectively to this wide-ranging enterprise; the disciplines of law, government, political science, history, economics, and sociology are represented, as are practitioners in politics and the media.

Nikon D800 + D800E
Professional photographers, the wait is over. Nikon has finally announced two new DSLR cameras—the D800 and D800E ($3,000-$3,300)—and boy, do they have some killer specs. The first thing that jumps out is the whopping 36.3-Megapixel Nikon FX-format full-frame CMOS sensor, but also in the mix are an improved 51-point AF system, 3.2-inch LCD monitor, and 1080p video recording, with plenty of manual controls for videographers. Then there's that special E model, which seems hell-bent on erasing the need for traditional medium-format cameras altogether.
Since basically all of the guts are the same, what's the difference between the cameras? The pricier D800E features an optical filter with all the anti-aliasing properties removed, paving the way for even sharper images. The feature is not for everyone—repeating patterns can end up causing nearly-unremovable moiré—but it makes more of the 36-Megapixel sensor's raw resolution-gathering capabilities, and will be a medium format-camera killer. Both models are up for preorder right now, but demand is high; don't expect to get one right away unless you already have an order in.

A Central Oregon news reporter has been subpoenaed to appear before a Grand Jury over the release of personal information. The Bend Bulletin was looking for information to determine qualifications of workers in the District Attorney's Office. Personal data, such as phone numbers were released to the media. District Attorney Patrick Flaherty: "When the County released the documents to the Bulletin, some of the information released contained private information of the type I just described, and some of that information is prohibited by law from disclosure." The Bulletin says they are within their rights to request that information and will go to court to defend their actions.

Hamilton County will be getting new voting machines to replace those that date back to 1998.
"For the election last November, we just prayed our way through it that the machines would hold up," Election Administrator Charlotte Mullis-Morgan said.
She said the new $1.2 million system will be very similar to the current models.
"The voter won't see much difference. You will still run a paper ballot through a machine," her top assistant, Scott Allen, said.
The Election Commission on Wednesday morning voted to purchase the machines from Dominion, a privately owned company founded in Toronto with voting systems in over 600 jurisdictions in 22 states. Dominion bought out the firm that sold the machines to Hamilton County in 1998. Kelvin Scott voted no. He apparently preferred the other finalist, Unisyn. Jerry Summers did not vote, saying he had not had prior notice and had not seen the contract.
The federal government will pay all the costs of the new voting system.
Election Commission Chairman Mike Walden noted that an earlier election panel voted to purchase the current system in 1998 before there were funds for reimbursement. Other counties in the state who bought the system later got their costs covered, but Hamilton County never did.
Mr. Allen said it will be a tight timetable, but the new machines should be ready in time for the May primary election. It will take three months to manufacture them, then election workers will need to be trained on them.
Dominion included a five-year warranty built into the purchase price.
Only Dominion's system can sort write-in ballots separate from regularly voted ballots, it was stated.
Ms. Mullis-Morgan said, "Dominion is currently our vendor for election equipment. Having worked with them since 2010, we have experienced excellent customer service and support during this time. Thus, we are confident that the implementation of and transition to their proposed new system would likely be very smooth and require less implementation time on the part of the election staff."
"Also, the Dominion voting machine is very similar to what we currently use, so the learning curve for poll workers and voters should be minimal."

What would be the most compact bounce flash available?
Jan 14, 2013
Hi, I am looking for a new flash to use with my Olympus OM1 and Zuiko 50mm f1.4.
Portability is important, should be able to carry it in my pocket comfortably. but I also would like it to be bounce capable.
I was considering a Sunpack 383 (it seems smaller than the Vivitars 283 and 285). I've seen some at resonable prices on e-Bay and Craig's list.
Can anyone recommend another option? If not necessarily with as much power, but even smaller, bounce capable (at least verical) and a fast recharge cycle.
Thank you,
Mik S.

During a couple of days Morgan Stanley manipulates price of 2 stocks when they have good news:
1. TWTR: 2 days ago when twtr got a contract of streaming Thursday NFL and price went up.
Instantly Brian Nowak, an analyst of Morgan Stanley downgraded twtr and gave TP between 8 -16. TWTR price was down badly in premarket but recovered and up again.
2. Today when ICPT got approved by FDA Advosory Committee 17/0 about OCA and icpt price advanced to 182 premarket. Again Morgan Stanley analyst Andrrew Berens downgraded icpt and lower TP from 100 to 80 that made icpt dropped from 182 to 147.53 in hour. ICPT was recovered a little ever since. I guess Morgan Stanley must hold a huge short position of icpt, so they has to do a dirty job like that.
With FDA approval I believe icpt will move up from now on despite the desperate effort to hold down its price by short sellers.
Look at MAJOR HOLDERS IN Yahoo finance we can see Morgan Stanley is the top holder of twtr with more thaN 34 mil shares. Do you think Brian Nowak, an analyst of Morgan Stanley wants to shoot his boss at the foot by downgrade TWTR?
Beside TWTR just got streaming Thursday NFL. Even a kid know this event will definitely increase TWTR users.If other media stock such as facebook, netflex would get this contract, their stocks will jump 5 - 10 dollars.
The only reasonable cause of this anaysts motive is to help his boss to get more twtr with lower price.
Because they're out of favor of Wall Street. Crooks want to keep price low until they load enough shares then they'll upgrade twtr.
This is the way crooks make money. They make every think that TWTR loses money loses customers and on the verge of bankruptcy. The fact is twtr still has profit and gains customers (of course not as high as the numbers they expected).
On another hand, some their favorite company such as goldman sach that lost 60% profit and its price is up.
Hang on and buy more because twtr will come back strongly soon.
TWTR is down badly today because the amount of option contracts call of $16 on Apr 1 2016 (today) alone is more than 10,000 (more 1 mil shares).
The MM try every thing to lower price under 16 so they can pocket mil dollars any options call equal or above $16.
I think Brian Nowak and Morgan Stanley should be investigated by SEC for their scam.
No one cares about dead dog. But Wall Street talks about twtr every day and tries to lower its price. If they really think twtr is a dead dog why should they care about it?
The easy answer is they know twtr will go up big and soon and they try every thing to get twtr shares with cheap price. The smart investors shouldn't sell twtr. They'll get big reward soon.
Normally when a company has a new product or has another company who wants to buy out, its stock goes up. It's not the case of Perrigo. Do you think a change of CEO and a lower earnings makes a well established company such as Perrigo goes down from more than 205 to 95? The answer is NO.
So, the only explanation is this is a Wall Street scam to push the price down as far as possible then they can buy cheap shares. When they finish buying they will raise price or sell to Mylan with a huge profit.
I would like to remind you Perrigo is a well established company, founded in 1887 with 13,500 employees in Dublin, Ireland, not a company just IPO.
I'm not surprised if twtr would go up to 20 or more next couple of months after being upgraded by...crooks
Dirty option play, exactly.
lulu will start downtrend on Monday.
RGLS reported good result about its drug and stock was down 6%. Why?
Lulu is on the way down today because the price is lower accompanied with large sell blocs and small buy blocs.
On April 6 2015 Mylan wanted to buy Perrigo at 29 Bil ($205/share) and Perrigo rejected because they said it's too low if compare to company value.
On April 27 2016 after ceo resigned and announcement of lower earnings, the price dropped to 97.50
What's a difference between a year, their value is cut more than a half.
Can any one explain why?
Very good thought!
This also means big boys sell large positions and buy small positions to keep price stable so they can liquidate or short large amount of shares with huge profit and small investors hold the bag.
No. It'll open when the conclusion of the FDA Advisory Panel is reached.( recommand FDA to approve or require more data about OCA.)
Even I lost money on Valeant but I have to say Citron is right in many cases.
As far as all of us knew the earnings of retail clothing business are down included on line such as amazone, target, walmart, etc...How can lulu manage to have good earnings? particularly many retails sale the same stuffs as lulu.
Another thing is lulu earnings is not particularly good. why stock price goes up too much. Is it a trap setting up by Wall Street crooks?
Where is money for them to buy back stock?
Any way I wish it'll go up fast because I'm long. Good luck every body except shorts.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
